This is an aberration for the BBC – in an article on Syria there is no mention of Putin, Russia, White Helmets, barrel bombs, ‘Assad regime’ ‘hospitals being bombed’ or any of the usual expected fake news memes. These writers may have a short employment life with the BBC.
Syria conflict: Women ‘sexually exploited in return for aid’
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-43206297
I’m not surprised, the “sexual exploitation in return for aid” is a “trend” nowadays, in the same way as the movement called “MeToo” :
“Me Too”
by ioan
Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me babe,
You’re my woman, I’m your slave
Love me, love me, as you can
You’re my slave, I am your man
Hey you’re bent to be my greatest lover,
Every day till our latest breath,
Do we need this funny “Me Too” shower
When we love, love, love and never cheat ?!
Tell me baby who loves you,
Better than I ever do
Tell me darling that’s not true,
That you joined the cue “Me Too”
Hey you’re bent to be my greatest lover,
Every day till our latest breath,
Do we need this funny “Me Too” shower
When we love, love, love and never cheat ?!
And here is some music : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhSEmDoHr78 luv’-you’re the greatest lover
VT mentioned an upheaval in the UK press yesterday. Here is Rowson’s (my favourite cartoonist) take. Corbyn is the cat in the hat and May the see-thro wraith surrounded by fur cups on the floor, Comments were not an option for a long time on his toons but have been reinstituted, for the moment, in the last a couple of months:
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/picture/2018/feb/26/martin-rowson-jeremy-corbyn-brexit-speech-cartoon
The “me too” is about constant liberal gratification without responsibility, the free love brigade preying on the vulnerable, as in Syria, Brexit, Motorhead ?
Ladies and gentleman, order, waiter, a cappuccino please.
Fabulous day here in London, the belly of the beast, the best day of winter so far as a very cold weather front made it like Christmas is supposed to be. The press have named this cold front ‘The Beast from the East’ complete with cartoons.
Passive aggressive maybe, but funny. Had to go buy a kilo of meal worms for the birdies.
Last one from him, I’m Lemmied out. Lyric is in the comments somewhere:

I watched Trump’s address to cpac. Donald is quite the actor, totally into his part. Whether he realizes it is theater, I’m not sure. I would think he knows he’s being given his talking points by his bosses. He could have given almost the same talk to aipac. The bosses are the same but the sides keep switching.
The bosses are fighting each other. I’ve said from the beginning that Trump is backed by powerful forces, or he’d be gone. We’re now seeing who the bosses are; Bix calls them the good guys and the bad guys. I like that because the good cop is in charge at present. If Hillary had won, we’d be suffering under the bad cop.
I like DT’s domestic policies, as a stop-gap measure, although they border on fascism. The Clintonites are fascist too, but worse. I prefer the least of two evils. Donald’s foreign policy is really sword rattling theater. The players who count know it keeps us in fear of WWIII, and keeps the war business booming. Sure, there could be an accident, but it will be quickly controlled, Putin style.
I like Trump, and always have; whether that continues remains to be seen. I think his victory was orchestrated from higher up; no, higher than that–from the Love Army level. I mean: have you ever seen such a black swan event? And it’s just getting rolling. If we were not so skeptical, we’d call it a magic miracle.
cpac is a conservative’s dream and a liberal’s nightmare. Like all language, the bad bosses have reversed the meaning of liberal to keep us confused and on the ropes, as in rope a dope. I suspect there were many Jews and zion Christians present from the hoops, yells and loud clapping when Trump lauded Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
What do we expect? According to Miles Mathis, Trump is Jewish; the evidence is overwhelming, despite the erasing of geneology, changed names, faked dates and misdirecting. Donald is so fake it’s almost funny. He just follows his acting script, with the help of teleprompters, ghost writers for his speeches and twits.
I like Donald because he’s an open book for those who can look, and see that he stands for our corrupt culture: fake, built on lies, deceitful, untrustworthy, phony, murderous and cruel. Trump exposes it all in his own person. The Love Army uses him as a lying truth teller. I hate what he’s doing but like that he’s revealing the garbage so clearly.
By contrast, I can’t stand to listen to Obama. He’s fake in a different way: a slimy snake oil con man, which is coming out now in his relationship with Hillary and all that crowd. I think Trump is careful to stay within the law for his own protection, but Obama and the demon-crats openly despise the law. Many love Obama, probably because deep down they are fake in that way; just as I like Trump because deep down I’m fake like him; although I can recognize it, and am working to be more honest.
DT’s values are about as far from mine as can be imagined, but I still like him. I also like some of the liberal’s nonsense. They can’t help it if they don’t know what they’re doing, other than feathering their own nests. Donald keeps everyone guessing, except those who calculate, not guess. I’d guess he loves all the attention, and if it lags, he’s bound to say something outrageous to keep the attention coming and the coffers brimming.
He may just achieve maga, but by then the rats will have jumped the bad guy Titanic for the good guy Endeavor. Whether the good guys can keep them off is unlikely because our whole culture is sinking the planet. It’s just a matter of time before Reality comes steppin’ in. For me reality is tough love, and as I’m finding out, it ain’t no picnic in the park or bed of roses; ouch, those thorns hurt.
Like Jesus, Donald is a “sign of contradiction,” the man in the middle of a thousand mirrors reflecting all of us. Actually, like the eye of a hurricane, smack dab in the middle is a safe place; I call it love but it has a thousand other names. I don’t know about you, and I don’t really know about me either; except that the Vineyard Express is a roller coaster which bad backs are leery of. I can only hang on for dear life to railings rooted deep in earth; sort of like ioan’s solid ground preference over sea cramps.
Donald reminds me of a free, but spoiled child. There’s a Dennis in Donald, and both have an inner child. This week in the love calendar year features the magic and tragic child, illustrated by the tarot cards, the four of coins and the six of cups; in the suit of time. In honor of the Donald, I will retype sections from this week’s text.
“See with the eyes of a child and enjoy an emperor without clothes. It’s quite entertaining. Robes of authority cover fat paunches and knobby knees. Imagine naked judges and popes without their dresses and Freudian slips taking a poop. I’m a child and have see-through eyes. Hallelujah!”
“When I was a child, I spoke as a child
When I got old, I broke with that mold
I went to the circus but the clowns had all gone
Even the jugglers had gone from the town
The child of time went out on a spree
Jumping that rope and climbing that tree
Making a run for the top in the suit of time
Having fun without stop or reason or rhyme
A magic moment of time, except that of course
The train got derailed and the plane went off course
Trapped in tracts, I got stopped in my tracks
And deplaned and caught in the racks
There’s nothing so tragic as loss of the magic
Nothing so cruel as boss of the school
I went into town but there was no one around
Except study heads dead in their beds
I went to the fair to talk to the moon
Who travels there with the dish and the spoon
I picked up my sticks and built me a house
No one helped me except for the mouse
My mother’s the queen and my brother’s the prince
I left the palace with Alice and haven’t been back since
It used to be I played with jacks
But now at Jill’s I pick up her tacks
If I live to a hundred, I’ll still be seven
If I make a baker’s dozen, it’ll still be eleven
If I ever get past the correctional inn
I’m going to play gin with the child within
If you’re walking the line in the house of your dreams
They’ll give you a fine which is not what it seems
They’ll steal your magic and declare it a crime
Take your crystal ball without giving a dime
If you’re going to make it to the top of the hill
You better be Jack and marry your Jill
Stay out of their sight or they’ll break your crown
You didn’t do it right and they don’t want you around
Through this house I go from room to room
I hurry or putter with an old magic broom
I’m going to be like Jesus, meek and mild
Get to the kingdom of the magical child
I’ll be like Beauty and the Beast
Find out the door to their cor
Discover the more in the least”
“Like a child on the run
Picking flowers in the sun
Up and down, and all around
To and fro, high and low
Peek a boo, cat and mouse
Up the chimney in the house
In the corner with the king
And the maid who likes to sing
When you cry the fiddlers three
Take you up upon their knee
Tell you stories that never end
Show you spoons that will bend
Wonder wise surprise your eyes
Without trying win the prize
Take it easy climbing ridges
Have fun building bridges
Look up high they are nigh
Lifting you up to the sky
Fears allayed while you played
Loving parents took you there
To that castle in the air”
Love, Dennis
Just like in the old times Dennis, when we were stonned by elsi, I like these poems, thanks for sharing.
Yup super poem Dennis.
Jumpin’ Jeebus Dennis:
That’s some brilliant stuff; I’m in a “band”… just a couple of geezers playing music on weekends, but can I have your permission to put that to music? I will totally credit it to Dennis from the internet. Though I wouldn’t hold your breath on the whole five minutes of fame thing… or monetary compensation for that matter.

My eyes were surprised but my heart knew it all along. Xi will be Emperor of China for life. I said he was a figurehead front and this proves it. Nice move, JewBrits; tell all the world what awaits it: fascist, totalitarian communism, Israel style, the wave of the future; no, a tsunami.
Iron curtain communism had an impenetrable wall, but for a price it could be scaled. China has the great wall but it’s that bamboo curtain around the Forbidden City that keeps Eden out and the forbidden fruit in. Don’t be surprised at the biblical ideas because Jews rule China. Do your own research; I’ve given the evidence a few times; no need to repeat it endlessly.
Why not add China as a colony in the east to balance the US colony in the west? No, wait, China is an empire now, although subservient to the unnamed empire that is the biggest empire of them all. Play coy and call it Greater Israel or The Promised Land. The jewel of the new empire is Jerusalem in the mideast, between west and east.
I love the Jews; who else could pull this off? Give credit where credit is due. I know some Jews towards the bottom of the pyramid; they are fine people. It’s the steeple chasers and pyramid climbers towards the top that claim my special admiration. They’ve got the good life, a big happy family who have a silver spoon in their mouth from birth. They don’t have to work if they don’t want to; the name is enough to open doors sealed to the unchosen.
Am I being facetious? Is it true or not? From whence comes this power to rule? I’d say it’s spiritual and comes from God Himself. Could the devil do it? Not unless God allowed it. That’s why I think theology needs an update, like the one the Love Government is proposing: develop the “God is Love” idea by going directly to Love. God doesn’t mind; he said so himself.
Are you put off by what appears to be disrespect? I understand but I must respect truth first. Now if I were living in China under an emperor, I’d learn rather quickly who is to be respected. But not to worry, the new five year plan of Jews for China will introduce democracy. It’s a much better system to control folks, by giving them a fake choice come election time. State approved political parties will be all the rage in SinoZio land. But woe to those who don’t appreciate the freedom by voting wrong.
What’s not to love with guaranteed security from cradle to grave? You can ride the obor freeways all around the planet if you’re lucky enough to get one of those ride-free China cards; if you’re not so lucky it’s sweatshop heaven; because someone has to work from the bottom up since there’s limited space as the pyramid narrows at the top.
Do you have to go to China to enjoy these totalitarian freedoms? No, not at all. A Chinese investor, or proxy, will visit you. They will pull you up by your bootstraps and lift you out of poverty, like it or not. Here in the US, the choice pieces are already Chinese. I’m not fooled by the “made in China” label; the invisible ink small print reads: “payable to Israel.”
It’s so comforting to see Israel taking China under its wings. And giving us Emperor Xi as a bonus. You might say that Japan has an emperor, and look how well they’re doing with a democracy. Yes, I suppose a fake democracy is better than none at all; and better than a total communist regime.
OK, I’ve had my fun poking fun and poking holes in inflated balloons. Back to dealing with the real world of love, dealing with my back and background. The consensus seems to be to keep moving, stretch and limit the sitting, as I’m doing now, standing at this computer in the club. Thanks for all the tips and concern; if I can get through this challenge, the healing will be oh, so sweet.
Love, Dennis
Lovely poem there, Dennis.
My favourite Dylan tune, the original is better, IMHO, but beggars can’t be choosers and the pics are good on this.

We’ve made 100 points as Dennis quibbled.
World Politics and Culture are a Team Sport.
But he walked off the diamond…and dribbled
And dribbled without one pass on Cafe Court.
Now that’s a miraculous recovery!
But where, oh where’s the discovery??
Xi lifts hundreds of millions out of poverty,
But let’s just lie and call that a Zionist Plot!
Who cares, if the ball is all your property,
Make up any old play, and run the clock out!
But Leary is right, I did mis-read something “also-ran” in haste,
Which will teach me to slow down…..and stay a while, not race.
Meanwhile “trauma”? Man did you miss the point!
That WAS child’s discovery of a most valuable sort,
Which I luckily made…… at the tender age of four
And I’m hoping you make…. before…. four score!

Now here is one dude, Ben Swann who is using the crypto/blockchain productively to Stop the Empire’s War on Humanity, Truth (and Russia, and Love) :

D-Tube is one of the new Crypto-created media that could displace you tube if truth and consciousness overcomes retardation, lies and egoistic narcisssism. “Powered by Dash”….one of the major crypto currencies. More is in the pipeline that can sink Google, Face Book etc,etc.
But Nooooo! “I have other values; crypts violate my values, particularly by embracing usury.”
Huh???? Usury??? Another piece of slanderous, ignorant “I’lll make up whatever shit that makes me Feel Good” nonsense.
That sort of total non-rigor is neither loving, nor will it stop any Empire of Fear and Loathing, either, I am sorry to say, but I must point out, as one who woke up to skivvies around ankles at the age of four……and DID get the point of that absurdity, at least.
Now Dan (Larimer) is the Man behind Steemit, that enables Ben or YOU to produce such material, get it out to a growing community, worldwide…..and wide approval not only defrays production costs but might even earn you a living if a few of you team up with what you’ve learned here and else where and do as well or better with your produced content than this video by Ben.
Now there’s one other video, on the Human Team versus the Scumbag “Elites” of A Moral Garbage Can that narcissisitic ball-hogging dribbling around in circles can only serve.
https://youtu.be/1NeIgeVrJKo
Now, THIS Dennis has put in decades of selfless work …..and….knows what he’s talking about!
Which might benefit billions of other human beings!
That’s Love!
I have a few new thoughts about Dan Larimer and his creations:
Steemit favours the early adopters and big investors seemingly quite disproportionately. The real key to having fun on steemit is to have a huge wallet that allows one to massively up vote one’s own post. Without, it seems multiple views and great content yield about $0.02. People don’t really “waste” their voting power on quality content, they use it wisely on other people’s posts whom they know will up vote in return. Its a series of circle jerks with one powerful jerk at the top. Garbage posts making $150 and quality content at 0. Because its all about the power of the wallet.
EOS, with its year long ICO, has managed to collect untold volumes of ethers, and still has no product. Free everything! Too good to be true? I have some doubts about EOS. You’d think if they were going to upend the entire inter webs, by now they’d at least have some kind of demo, no? This could be the biggest scam in the history of the crypt. I don’t know for sure. It seems excellent, maybe too excellent is all.
Who hosts Dtube? Where are the actual servers that store all the data? Who is paying for those?
And what happened to the Petro? From what I can figure, it was offered to the global elites. I was looking at it but then didn’t follow it that close and I forget why. Now I don’t see it listed anywhere, I still have no idea how I can buy in, and honestly, I don’t really know for sure that it is going to follow normal market forces. The temptation to fudge the available supply, add a little pump and dump and make off with the treasury may be a bit more than normal governments can bear, which is apparently why satoshi didn’t want it connected to any .gov and while I do want to see Maduro survive the onslaught by western banks, I’m not sure the petro is what is going to save him.
Its so busy in northern california! Everyone is bustling and spending money like its 1993.
Its wheels within wheels–or a series of circle jerks as you put it–that then proceed to get tighter and tighter, squeezing your choices. I found a lovely expression yesterday on Wiki, following my nose– ‘depressed cubic equation’–that fit my mood aptly.
I always cut the necks off my T shirts but although it helps, its no cure.
Thanks the gods I’m old–I was extremely surprised to make it past 30–and now I’m wondering why I bothered.
Again, not the original which is not available to me but the original is far better:

‘ Church leaders in Jerusalem shut the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Sunday in protest at a new Israeli tax policy and a proposed land expropriation law which they called a “systematic and unprecedented attack against Christians in the Holy Land”.
Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox and Armenian church leaders said the holy site, a popular stop for pilgrims and where many Christians believe Jesus was crucified and buried, would remain closed until further notice.’

Dugin writes – Progress, all the varieties of of the western renaissance, is the rail line to a destination.. which was reached in 1991 at a station called the ‘End of History’. Having reached this goal, so longed for and idealised, the passengers found it a great dissapointment. They had been decieved all along. They were accustomed to constant movement, acceleration, growth, dreaming of their station. Now, thier minds run in all directions, contradicting and manic. This is what leads to Postmodernity- the wests’ current ideology. It is the absence of spirit, love of all that is destructive, and ultimately collapse. Russia must plan for the sudden violent collapse of the Anglo block
The notion of a genii, or any spirit of acting with evil intent contained in a bottle, or other vessel for holding water, is very old and in Russia, the country and herald of the future, dates back to the twelfth century.
The genii in the bottle, or the containment of evil, relates to to faith, to deep conviction and spirituality in relation to knowledge, to conscious thought and its application.
ioan had genii’s with bubbles from a water bottle in a previous cafe poem, and the medieval tale of St John, Archbishop of Novgorod encapsulates the harnessing, or containment of evil, the speed and power of thought with faith working together, and the story of human frailty and weakness.
The saint’s spiritual powers of grace were known to be unusual. Once, when the saint prayed by night, as was his custom, he heard something splashing the water in the washbasin. Seeing that there was no one beside him, the saint realized that this was a demon trying to scare him.
The saint made the Sign of the Cross over the washbasin and restrained the devil. Soon the evil spirit could no longer bear the prayer of the saint, which scorched it like fire, and it began to beg to be released from the washbasin. The saint first refused, but finally gave in after the anguished entreaties of the demon, but ordered the demon to carry him from Novgorod to Jerusalem to the Sepulcher of the Lord and back, all in one night, and to transform himself first into a horse to carry him swiftly there, and back again.
The demon changed itself into a black horse and under the continuing power of the cross of St John, bore him faster than the speed of light from Novgorod to Jerusalem and to the where Sepulcher and the Tree of Life are found at the Church of the Holy Resurrection.
The doors opened before St John of their own accord, and he entered and kissed the Holy Sepulcher with tears, and the Tree of Life and the other shrines, before returning and mounting the awaiting black horse, and the doors closed behind him by themselves.
He was back in no time in his own cell in the city of Novgorod the Great. Leaving the saints cell, the devil said : “O John, you forced me to labor, carrying you in one night to Jerusalem and the very same night back to Novgorod the Great. I was bound to do so, by the power of the cross, as if I was bound by shackles. Reveal to no one what has happened this night. If you do I will lead you into temptation, you will be tried and sentenced for lechery, abused and put ion a raft on the great river Vollhov.”
But in one of his many conversations, the saint told the abbots, venerable priests and men of knowledge that he knew a man who had visited the Holy Land and returned again in one night. The revenge of the evil spirit now sought to ensnare him with devious cunning, and began to scatter items of women’s clothing in his cell, inciting suspicion and alarm among the people of Novgorod, and not only that, but he disguised himself as a woman who ran in front of them when they accused him, as if fleeing from the cell.
The saint heard the racket and gently asked, “What has happened, my children, what is the noise all about?” The unruly crowd, shouting various charges of perverse life against the saint, dragged him to the River Volkhov. They put the saint on a raft and released it down along the current of the river. But the raft, contrary to expectation, sailed against the current straight to the Saint George monastery, three versts from Novgorod.
Seeing this, people were ashamed and with weeping and shouts they went along the riverbank after the raft, beseeching the saint to forgive them and to return to the city.He took pity on them and returned to the Novgorod the Great
Russi has to send the us reminders from time to time.
Russia in RSA @EmbassyofRussia
According to head of @CENTCOM four-star General Joseph Votel, «an increase in Russian surface-to-air missile systems in #Syria threatens our access and ability to dominate the airspace.» Need we remind Mr Votel, he’s talking about sovereign state of #Syria. Who invited the US?
Very interesting and captivating the story you were so kind and shared with us, though behind every such legends there are seeds of powerful truth within. When I was a young man, had a good friend, an orthodox priest named Virgil. He was the only one in the city who could clean “evil spirits” from people, a man with a powerful character, yet humble like a sheep (and living in very modest conditions with his wife) I was lucky to know such people like him.
Few years ago someone “proved” that water could either be receptive to or actually “hold “prayer I think I read!http://highexistence.com/water-experiment/

Arctic front dubbed the ‘beast from the east’ by the media has hit Ireland.
The regular folks are calling it ‘Storm Dave’.
Government has ordered everyone to stay indoors between 4pm Thursday and noon Friday.
Temp to go as low as – 10.
We don’t want to let our government down, and are dutifully doing the ‘panic’ thing. Who knows, maybe Dave really is a ‘beast’…
Here’s a tweet from one ‘obedient’ citizen:
“Busy day. The panic buying of 23 loaves of bread isn’t going to do itself. “#BeastFromTheEast
Had minus 8 last night in south uk where I am…and yes that wind makes it feel very cold..and finds the gaps in my kitchen wall to get through…maybe snow tomorrow…minion…pretty cold in London I would think too! Not as cold as 2010 and 2012….yet down here but bad up north……..ioan…how is it with you????????
Gulf stream keeps things relatively mild here in the West of Ireland.
Cold, chill wind, currently – 6, but house is warm as toast thanks to stove +boiler and insulation /double glazing.
Rather envy other parts of these Isles who are getting really great snow.
Just a light dusting here today, melted in an hour by the sun.
Tomorrow will maybe deliver.
A propos water, clean or bedevilled, human fallibility, and “the beast from the east”… now seen in the wonderful swirling, flurrying, drifts of pure white snow falling upon the dark and blighted lands of UK :
Beelzebub , the King of the Beasts, on the front pages of every newspaper, everyone’s lips and tweet, is naturally seen as coming from the east, stirring up chaos and fear in the heart.
Never fear, Putin’s here. Never mind about the beast from the west…
Luke 11:14-28
And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils th And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
If you take that today is 1 March, early at morning was – 17°C and they say that next week will be +10°C with rain, well, weather rings the bell.
Ioan – 17 degrees and what, your government doesn’t order the whole country to shut down!!??
Snowing nicely here, around – 8.
Lots of activity, cars out and people.
Schools are shut though.
I can remember ploughing through snow drifts to get to college in Dublin, and there was nothing like this fuss.
Lots of jokes going round about ‘panic’ buying and suggestions to airlift the entire government to Siberia to give them something to really ‘panic’ about…. :-)
Everywhere in Europe you get an overreaction to the weather. Before the 90’s never looked to the weather, not just me but nobody, the nature did her work undisturbed, as well the people. Though, temperatures well below freezing were not so curious as today in winter time, the same with snow. I don’t remember the schools being closed because of snow or cold.
Lots of panic bread buying jokes.
Tweets are pretty funny.

Still snowing heavily here, more mealworms needed so I’m out today.

Yup fed “my blackbirds” too…..save us oh Russia….send us more gas….uk is in trouble with 30% more demand as we are at the end of the pipeline and europe is more desparately trying to keep warm and hanging onto its own(probably some supplied from Russia).- snow in south Crimea too today- …suppliers asking industry to reduce demand…so if no industry workers do not get payed…increased expense on social services….won’t be able to afford anything…eerrrr just like the ukraine?
Just a gentle drift here, hope it persists.
Most of us are loving it, and the various ‘crisis actors’ – politicians, managers, media etc – are milking it for Oscar – contending self – drama.
Real reason for shutdowm is the insurance cartels won’t cover the inevitable accidents, so nobody is delivering to the shops.
Drivers have delivered in the past, and in far worse conditions.
We’re all snowflakes now.
yeah..” guns and sharp swords in the hands of small children” such prescience.
Wow…
Yes, and the postman too, in our lifetime, walking for miles and miles through the snow drifts in Wales to deliver letters. I met one once, reminiscing on the road…
Few kept the :curfew ‘here.
Snow is thick on the ground, snowdrifts everywhere.
Lots of people are out in it, and it’s still snowing.
Roads have already turned to slush.
Plenty of cars.
Only two local shops open though, and everyone is cracking jokes about’ corporate wimps ‘like Tesco and Aldi closing down over’ a bit of snow. ‘

Hi everyone,
I am just sharing this as another example of how very lame the propaganda can get in the Western world. It is beyond shameful. It is an article taken from a Swiss newspaper so it is in French but there is no need to understand anything to catch the drift.
Essentially, “people who stink are attracted to authoritarianism…” with a nice picture of VVP…
https://www.lematin.ch/monde/ameriques/etude-odeurs-corporelles-autoritarisme/story/10669792
Talk about cheap shots.
Really, the media right across the West is a pathetic and despicable creature.
Good news is, they have almost no influence anymore.
Quick ristretto, please.

They Live (among us)……
From what I’ve seen and heard, there was no slaughter that day. It was another staged event, like the Boston Marathon. That’s why cops stayed outside, and other cops were inside, firing blanks in all likelihood. No reason to rush in. Bright red fake blood was used in a spot or two, like in Boston, no victims anywhere to be seen.
I’m all for Taking the High Belt and Road now…….and Putting All Bad Blood Behind Us:

Of course we do have some heavy “issues” still left to deal with…….AND that’s the Gravity of the Situation:

….But with the help of a slippery pole and 2016 pounds of BS unloaded off its middle and upper sections, it’s “Up , Up and Away” above the sorry “The Russians Are Coming!” tired old slop in the Razorback Sow-Sty.

Maybe it’s not a good idea to call your neighbors “Deplorables”?
They (commenters) came up with the images, not the blog itself. The label just seems to set them to depicting exactly who is Deplorable to Them.

A very interesting article by Thierry Meyssan on the situation on the ground in Syria. Will he turn out to be right?

Appreciate the link..hhmm was not aware silk road project via Mosul and Syria had been put back or abandoned by China…..so he says…
Investigative Journalist, Yoichi Shimatsu, describes the “Shomrim” as follows: “That law-defying ultra-Orthodox Jewish vigilante group that protects pedophiles, covers up crimes by Zionists, infiltrates police departments, and trains recruits for murderous attacks by Israeli settlers against unarmed Palestinians.”
Yoichi claims the Shomrim shot-up the Florida Parkland School.

I can promise you all these things exist and work well”….we are one step ahead of everybody else eg lazer combat systems…missile defence is useless against our missile technologies…other systems being developed….dozens design bureaus and research centres….thousands of people working on these including young people who are true heros of our time…I thank you publicly…..Russia has all these assets of science research industry etc to develop such unique individual defence technologies and unique total integrated system….(standing applause by duma)…we are not an aggressor…we have everything we need….we help to guarantee peace on this planet….to confront new arms race….you were unable to hold Russia back…..I am not bluffing….stop rocking the boat called planet earth….Russia will only use nuclear weapons when threatened by nuclear weapons what ever their type ( eg usa says will use low yield or nuclear weapons if cyber attacked)will be responded to simultaneously nuclearly make no mistake about that….our policy will never be based on exceptionalism…we have to build a better world which us going through a turning point….create a Russia we are dreaming of….—– standing ovation by all. End.
Have you a link?
I could do with some sanity and inspiration from the world of politics.
We’re not getting it here in the ‘ West ‘, that’s for sure.
I was just texting as i watched on rt live VVP speaking..to bring the stunning breaking news(off work at the moment)..I see now southfront ..saker also now covering it.
Putin said : ” …we were ignored before, world will listen to us now…” saw it on RT TV.
Enough of the Deplorable Hillary Bashing! For now.
It’s still a good morning warm up, but the same site that came from also has less “offensive” mental exercises to assist the chronically blue-pilled victims of Empire in deleting certain dumb-ass memes from their lame excuses for “foreign policy” thinking….er delete “thinking”….make that “mind control tear and knee jerking”:
https://www.mintpressnews.com/weve-got-something-syria-uh-no-dont/238329/?utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fzen.yandex.com
Cailtlin Johnstone lays it out clearly for those who whose tears and knees are still disconnected from their pre-frontal cortexes:
“Be very clear what you are demanding when you say “we need to do something” about Syria. You are not saying we need to go in and hug children and hold umbrellas over the heads of civilians to make sure that they don’t get hit by explosives in the crossfire. You are saying we need to go in there and kill anyone who gets in the way, kill Syrian soldiers, kill Assad, and take control of the nation in a way that will benefit nobody but a few wealthy elites, all while causing even worse civilian casualties than are currently being experienced because that’s what war does. That’s what your cutesy little “we must do something to save the children” sentiment is calling for.
Acknowledging this doesn’t make you an “Assadist” or a “Putin puppet” or a crazy conspiracy theorist, it makes you a normal, healthy human being. The western war machine has an extensive history of using lies, false flags and propaganda to manufacture support for lucrative military interventions, and it is undoubtedly lying to us about Syria today. The only just outcome in this conflict is to allow the Syrian government and its allies to restore stability to the region and undo the damage that the West has done.”
WHY the damage? Syria is a key piece of the breaking of Sea Power Empire control some clueless persons here would like nothing better than to perpetuate just because they reject everything about a real human future, can’t think straight, and love nothing better than clinging to the “same old same old”….and OBOR clearly doesn’t fit THAT mindset of old familiar chains, they are SO accustomed to….and love so much.
Here’s why, from Assad’s mouth, his transgression against the Powers That Shouldn’t Be….and their silly dupes:
“Once the economic space between Syria, Turkey, Iraq and Iran becomes integrated, linking the Mediterranean, the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea and the Arabian Gulf, will not only be important in the Middle East,” Assad once famously said in 2009. “When these seas are connected, we will become the inevitable intersection of the whole world in investment, transportation, and more.”
Horrors! We must do something to “Save the Children!” Where are the White Helmets???
“It’s not hard to imagine how the imperialists would suddenly accelerate the urgency of removing Assad once he began speaking like that. Go try and find anything damning about Bashar al-Assad in the Western mainstream media prior to 2009. You’ll find a bunch of positive expressions, including a nomination for honorary knighthood in 2002 by British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Interesting how he then suddenly transformed overnight into a bloodthirsty sexual sadist who gets off on gassing children to death for no reason.”
Finally, Russia has cut off the supply of gas to the Ukraine. Russia has refunded the pre-payment which Ukraine made, and turned off the gas flow to that third world neo-nazi state.
Gazprom has stopped gas supplies to Corrupt and Deadbeat Ukraine.:
Russian state-run gas giant Gazprom will not start shipments of natural gas to Ukraine’s Naftogaz starting March 1 after sides failed to reach an agreement, the company’s deputy chairman, Alexander Medvedev, told journalists.

Astrology podcast on the genetic astrology of a nation because as often times, like in Iran, different government entities are proclaimed at different times throughout its history.
OK. well, the astrology podcast also spoke about what was called the genetic astrology of the USA—this one was easy since the native population was eliminated and foreigners ( Sagittarius rising) populated the new country.
But what comes to mind is the role of gangsters and the importance of $$$$ (Jupiter/Sun Cancer with venus and mercury) . The jest of the conference was the motto for America is ” Don’t ask me how I made my first million.”
The use of economic sanctions and criminal gangs against other countries is modus operandi of the US elites. (Scorpio 12th house) Also the use of traitors whom they buy off or addict in some way so as to blackmail them.
Russia’s weak point is the USA’s use of these addict-creating gangs and the use of traitors.( Pisces rules traitors as well as addiction as well as spirituality). Every genetic astrology chart of nations has its high expression and its low expression. Neptune/Pisces can be high, high spiritual expression alternated with low addictions: Dostoevsky got that one down very, very well and was frustrated often with its expression in his own personality (his fits of compulsive gambling especially when he experienced writer’s block).
Hubris of the USA is not so much the hypocrisy of the racism but the toxic Cancer urge to balkanize the country into just “me and mine”. The ruling class is really going for a kind of gated community country ( Cancer) and to “H-ll with the deplorables.i.e. the other.” It is just a twisted form of super exclusivity tribalism which racism used to carry but now it is carried by the social justice warrior entitled ones.
Meanwhile, it’s eat, drink and be merry as greed and another type of corrosive addiction (pedophilia-Mars(sex) in Gemini (child) rules per the lower octave of (Sagitarius/Jupiter as the rising sign) But the US Jupiter does not carry the balancing Pisces of Russian spirituality—it is more like ” go for broke.” and “winning is everything, who cares how you play the game.”
Bad news for Western society. USA is a Cancer nation: it hides itself, nurses grudges, plays on emotions and pretends–although it can go high in its claims to care about the world and want to nurture it ( Cancer/mother). However Russia, a Pisces nation also influenced by but with its own understand of Jupiter, has the USA’s number.
I hope they keep Bros. Karamazov in their required reading list for high school students, wearisome as it is, and not hide itself from itself like the USA is doing now with the wash of so-called multiculturalsm where the ” “melting pot” turns a toxic Hollywood wash of 50 shades of grey. This, after all, is just monoculture in the end.
Your post is a really good read.
Thanks.
I’d like to hear some people say, “I feel like a New Man!”
Or woman.
If you’re too much in love with your old chains, it is unlikely, however. Newness frightens many people. The old chains, particularly of Empire…… are soooo comfortable! And so “you”….like slipping into an old glove…or pair of shoes.
Sometimes my wife makes me feel like a new man. Yesterday she sent me a link from a new man (for me) from her homeland……Iskander Valitov. One presumes he was named before the missile by the same name. Or Isky Racing cams.
http://www.iskycams.com/the-legend.html
I sat in the founders office once, in Gardena, LA County and talked to Ed Iskanderian. He wanted to know more about “The Bankers”…the “Federal” (it isn’t…..) Reserve….and, of course “The Jews”. Many of them aren’t either.
The “ian” in his code (ie name) added to Valitov’s first name tells us that Ed’s forefathers were Armenian and he is Armenian-American. By chance he could just as easily, or more easily, have been Armenian-Russian.But I digress.
Valitov (I don’t know what that code means…..or Iskander either…..in man or missile code) cites Alexander (note the common “ander” in the code of both names..which means???..) Zinoviev, in the link my wife sent me, writing of his purpose to facilitate the birthing and development of The New Man:
“I see the emergence of a New Man being as the only hope we have as a sentient species, and I do hope that this miracle happens before too long. All these years we have seen the practical, businesslike, shrewd, cruel and egotistical people methodically trample down everything that’s decent and humane about people. All I want is for the New Man to survive, it is my fondest and most cherished dream. Otherwise there is no hope for our survival as a species”
The Silk Road Lady (much to the old man’s distress) also speaks of this New Man in a New Paradigm, working off a New Economic Platform code for which is the Old Lepretard-frightening OBOR or NEW Silk Road or World Landbridge.
The chains rattle under the trollish bridge, which is the only bridge that feels like “home”, And fearful stirring occurs. What about “Same old, Same old” Bridge?”, comes the complaint. “What about ME???”
OK. What about you?
Nothing personal, but what does your bridge do for taking us over these troubled waters Valitov writes of:
Nothing personal
“After Hitler, European civilization greatly advanced murder technologies: high-precision viruses that target only certain ethnic groups, various kinds of psychotropic radiation and corresponding pharmacologically “eco-friendly” nuclear weapons. In the absence of the state, infrastructure and control mechanisms will be switched off, and things will happen that we can’t even guess.”
(“So much for Libertarianism?” asks Bro 93..could it be “A Bridge Too Short”??..) Valitov continues:
“Taking into account the rulers’ love for “nature”, you realize that our chances of survival are very low. It is more important to them to save “nature” than to provide for 7 billion extra people on the planet. This is clear from the movie Avatar. What is coming is not nazism, but corporate fascism. The owners of key transnational corporations will balance their economies, and the liquidation of billions of people will be an environmental issue – nothing personal.
That is, the issue is not the “Limits to Growth” the Club of Rome wrote about in the seventies. Today’s social systems do not have room for the majority of the world’s population. Subsidized reservations will be liquidated as useless, the means are already in place, with one exception, perhaps: there is still Russia with her nuclear-missile potential and relatively sovereign leadership. And because we can prevent a program of global planetary genocide, we are no longer being “contained”; we are being weakened and potentially destroyed.”
It’s from this 2 year old article : http://zinoviev.info/wps/archives/2091
Iskander Valitov: Russia as the Last Obstacle to Global Planetary Genocide
Here’s how he ends, proposing new approaches to overcome the globalist imperatives of an old Zeussian—read “oligarchical” (Zeuss, from the cluody heights of Mt Olympus, was disgusted by Man’s Mutiplication…and had the same NWO “solution”: Wholesale Subtraction….genocide) dilemma:
“How can we (He means Russia….but I mean all of us….) increase humanity’s ability to exist? That is the question our country must answer. To be on the defensive in a siege is a losing strategy. We need to demonstrate a level of civilization that preserves humans and their ability to act. In our country, everyone has to do necessary, important, and if possible, interesting work. There needs to be a lot of work involving all an individual’s skills and potential. The true quality of human life is measured in the intensity and sophistication of his activity.
A few ideas for further discussion
First, the entire field of scientific research and technological development needs to be freed from the need to find solutions via mass production and economic outcomes. It should be structured in such a way that technologies, devices, things are designed for the sake of design. Sales volume should not limit activities. Breakthroughs should be decided by people responsible for vital sectors, not developers. Potentially there will be a lot of work like this.
Second, instead of globalization, we must bet on local diversity, freeing people from the power of transnational corporations with their unification, standardization, etc. We need to increase local autonomy in power, food production and health care, building self-sufficient economies, each with their architecture, food, health care models. All this will require complex activities, and therefore, people.
Third, we need to turn our attention to human reserves. So far, European civilization has mastered the potential of lifeless nature, including humans. European medicine treats humans as imperfect devices that need to be repaired, parts replaced, fixed, etc. Medicine doesn’t take into account human potential, foremost consciousness, that allows us to harmonize, transform, recover, revive, and even rebuild the body. Mass health practices built with this approach could provide an inexhaustible amount of new work, blurring boundaries between producers and consumers. Everyone could build their own health, supported by awareness, techniques.
For the development of these and similar areas we need appropriate policies and power. We need a new socialism, which is not concerned with liberating man from exploitation, but rather focused on his maximum involvement in complex and meaningful activities.”
Will OBOR enhance the Freedom of the New Man Iskander and Helga both speak of, or do the opposite??
What does the old, Sea Power Geopolitics of Empire offer, in that regard?
I think the new physical economy platform envisioned and partly realized by Hamilton and Lincoln is a “seed” within the “code” of the New Silk Road, World Landbridge and OBOR. (All interchageable “code”) is a powerful threat to the NWD (they’ve just rounded out the D to an O….but its real content is Disorder…..and Violation of Natural Law Rights….not the phony “defense of human rights” pretended by their stormtrooper “white” helmets.
Code can easily be corrupted. This is why the consciousness of Zinoviev’s or Helga’s New Man must rise. It can’t stay down at the low level it’s been at for several millenia. OR, we’re in for the “same old, same old”.
How boring.
Encryption is also code. Is New Money part of the New Man…..or the Same Old Disorder?? Is it Debt Slavery Usury ….or could that be nonsensical willfully uniformed “same old, same old” prejudice and slander against built in Equity (fairness) onmay levels. We shall see, and perhaps determine the better outcome, instead of fearfully awaiting our “new” chains. But that comes in the next comment. Gotta run.

I will bet that they loved Putin’s speech–both the first part and the last!! Let no other nation pay the price of the neocon-USA intervention especially as they did.
Note that Putin said any use of nuclear weapons in any form against Russia or its allies will be met with immediate and commensurate response…
“I am not bluffing”
I would love to see a mass – wearing of Putin tee – shirts with ‘I’m Not Bluffing’ take off….
Any tee – shirt entrepreneurs out there?
Good morning. I’m feeling better, thanks. But I was shocked upon rereading Bro’s comment earlier. I must be misunderstanding, but he seems to be in favor of usury. Is it possible that he comes out and says unequivocally what nearly everyone is doing but reluctant to admit. What? Loving what has always been condemned, until Calvin distinguished usury from interest?
Usury is the biggest scam ever inflicted upon a unsuspecting humanity; it despoils the earth and exploits an already suffering natural people. If people were left to manage their own affairs, they might be poor in comparison with spoiled folks today, but they were far better off and happier. Remember, the patriarchy project to install select men as gods has been in operation for a good 75,000 years, and therefore we are all brainwashed and heart-stoned.
A nature based society is stable for thousands of years, and have developed methods that work for the greatest good. The patriarchy plague promotes rapid change in order to upset the old orders of happiness for all in order to increase trade and commerce, with constantly new products that produce profits for the rich.
For the patriarchs, the more chaotic change the better. We see it today in the wedges being driven between the rich and poor, men and women, families and childless women, stable communities and foreign refugees, couples reduced to singles, and singles into frantic consumers of celebrity, sports, financial markets, useless products and anything that can distract from the pain and emptiness within. Despair and unhappiness drives societies further into debt and an expanding balloon of insanity, all for the sake of money and power for the sadists of secular satanism.
The jury is out but the total embrace of usury plays into the hand of empire, and seals our eventual doom. Bro is a type, a indicator of a sexually abused child of four who is desperate for a change, any change to relieve the pain from the loss of stability, from the moral certainty of love for all. [This is my opinion regarding Bro, and if I am wrong, I will correct it, but I don’t think he will mind since he is constantly giving his opinion of me and my motives].
The empire is pushing constant change to a dizzying point of a flooding of confusing and contradictory information, all to turn our minds to mush and our hearts to stone, so we will be obedient slaves to provide profits for them. obor and bits are part of this rapid change to fly reality which has become so painful in our day; it’s not a real reality but a fake reality.
Yesterday, I reread Miles Mathis’s article on Bob Dylan and the Stones. There is little doubt that they were used by Intelligence to create rapid change in society, and to decimate the burgeoning youth rebellion. I hate to admit it but I have been gullible regarding Bob, because of the sometimes awesome lyrics and music that were written by others like Leonard Cohen.
At least Dylan did not go all the way in his sell out to the masters; he retains a consciousness that what he got into was torture, and it shows in his negative descriptions and in his very tortured face. I still like him whoever wrote his best stuff because in his person, as in Trump’s, he portrays the best and the worst of who we are.
Dylan creates ideal women to worship because of early childhood trauma. I’ve heard that his mother locked him an an attic. Contrary to all the lies, his family was wealthy, and part of a Jewish clan network that greased his success in New York. Dylan and Trump are as fake as can be, puppets of empire, and yet they show up the negative conditions we all live under, which is one reason I like them, while hating what they are doing to so many.
My “contacts among the lumberjacks” (Dylan) is my connection to the Love Army, Government and Bower. They are invisible, and operate through traditional signs, symbols, miracles of perfect timing, sacraments, sacred-mental acts, interventions and revelations. It’s strategic to be largely invisible since the empire cannot co-opt, misdirect, threaten or kill them.
Jesus called these higher forces “legions of angels” who assisted him. I call them a love army since they operate with tough love, as exemplified with their ten commandments of love. This very vineyard is their point of contact with us, as long as we do not definitively reject them, which always remains our choice.
I’d better post this. I’m at the club, standing at a counter rather than sitting and bending over as I’ve done all my life, thanks to the good advice given here regarding my sore back. another instance of the practical love available here in this community of lovers. Many thanks.
Love, Dennis
Armchair Cafe Theology Part 8
Joe Atwill came up in a link at the last cafe. Miles Mathis thinks he’s a spook working for Intelligence. I am inclined to agree, but give Joe the benefit of the doubt that it’s unwittingly done. A devious intelligence can twist the best of minds and intentions.
I’ve read Joe’s Caesar’s Messiah and his Shakespeare’s Secret Messiah. I’ve read the bible; some parts many times, since I was raised on it; and I’ve read much on the origins of Christianity, since it deeply interests me. I think Joe is making a huge mistake of misinterpretation; and it’s terribly damaging to Christianity. That’s why Miles and I think he’s a spook because it’s the Jewish deep state that wants to destroy Christianity, its ancient enemy.
Don’t get me wrong. Joe has an abundance of needed information to advance the causes we support. I think Orthodox theology is critical to saving our planet. I don’t know what Joe’s beliefs are but what he is saying is damaging to what I believe. Like Miles, he is outing Jews in both his books; but he is also revealing truths about the Roman Empire’s tampering with early Christianity, like the new empire of today is still doing to present day Christianity.
If I understand him correctly, Joe is saying there was no historical Jesus, but he was made up from gods of the surrounding cultures. This contradicts what I have read citing external sources like Josephus and several others. We don’t know much about this Jesus, other than he seems to have been called Christos, but we know he actually existed.
From Atwill himself, Jesus could not have said anything good about the Romans, as the gospels do, or he would have been killed by his own people. Jesus was therefore an enemy of the Roman empire, which is why they killed him as a rebel, with the connivance of the pharisees and priests. The Romans have overlaid original Christian sources with a Jesus who was friendly to Rome. That’s impossible to be historically true.
These Christian source were extant before the Roman rewrite; it is most probable that the Romans took these sources and framed them in their own propaganda. Biblical form criticism and exegesis have described these, such as miracle stories, parables, sayings, infancy narrative, geneologies, prophecies from the Old Testament, messianic predictions, curses, gematria, Greek geometrics, a developed theology, polemics against the scribes and pharisees and their talmudism, instructions for church authority, and you name it.
Many elements came from Judaism, Greek and Roman cultures and many more. Jesus was some kind of magnet that attracted the best teachings and some of the worst. But contrary to Atwill, there was an historical character who held it all together. From reason and faith, that such a person existed is certain as certain can be. I stand by it, and against the Atwill types who doubt it or deny it.
Orthodox theology can do no less, and call itself orthodox. Orthodoxy is the only force I can see that can reinvigorate Christianity and stop the flood of liberal immorality. Such a theology must fight on two fronts, one being immoral liberalism and the other being an ignorant, fixated and fearful conservative Christianity. We need a theology that gives us moral certainty, that can awaken enthusiasm in a new key, and have a vehicle to convey it.
This vineyard cafe is just the place to do the job. Now we don’t all subscribe to Christianity, or theology at all. Very few do and I happen to be one of them. The faster way is to go directly to Love; the slower but surer way is to work back in historical theology and trace its development over time. The religious doctrines are treasures for me. Maybe some day I’ll make a card deck of them, sort of like icons but with greater variety.
I am already using tarot cards for a similar purpose, since their themes are practically nothing but religious. All individuals and societies have a religious base, although many do their best to deny it. At least they practice sentimental, romantic and comforting love. Tough love, as presented in the Love Army’s ten commandments of love is another matter.
It bears repeating that the ten new commandments are an ideal standard; and also very real. They are also a seed that will take thousands of years to turn back the clock of 75,000 years of patriarchy. No one has to do anything regarding them; especially in a fast way. As Jesus said, if the seed falls on good ground and gets water, it will grow, and become a mighty tree.
Joe Atwill is sowing seeds on rock and unwatered sand. He’s not alone–the whole world is becoming a wasteland, where we feast on false expectations. Jesus was a real human person, who became a potent sign and symbol of humanity’s hopes and aspirations. You might have a different ideal person but if he or she is imbued with true love, the name is a secondary concern; it’s the deep down game that matters.
Orthodox Theology means one that is straight and true. I go straight back to our origins in Eden, a natural paradise, which earth was at that time, and in some places still is. Eden means “pleasure where waters flow.” It’s the story of truth, told in the medium of that time, which was through myths. That’s my starting place, which develops naturally into the theological doctrines of God, Christ, Revelation, Salvation, Trinitarian Community, Incarnation, Sacramentalism, Heaven, Communion of Saints, Prayer, Authorization, Scripture, Miracles, Faith and Reason, Origin of Evil and so many more.
The core doctrines give us moral certainty, which was ripped from our hearts by deceit and lies. We can recover it in the slow way of incremental learning or the fast way of direct love, which Jesus extended to the good thief on the cross, when the robber asked for it. “This day you shall be with me in Paradise.”
Love, Dennis
You’re way ahead of me, Dennis, still stuck on Dylan, even if, in reality, he’s a deeply hidden insurgent for the other side. hat tip/ :

“One word of truth outweighs the whole world” (Russian proverb) so it doesn’t matter where you say it, and it means its troll proof.
Russia is so cool, they even send us their snow – “from Russia with love” written on the tag – how kind and generous is that ? Love right back from the happy children of UK’s 3,000 closed schools.
“Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are inviting 2,640 members of the public to the grounds of Windsor Castle on their wedding day – but the invitation stops short of a slice of the royal cake.
The commoners, 1,200 of whom will be chosen “from every corner of the United Kingdom”, will get to watch the arrival of the bride and groom as well as their wedding guests, and then the carriage procession as it leaves after the service.
The couple said they want members of the public “to feel part of the celebrations too”. They will not attend the ceremony inside St George’s chapel at Windsor Castle on 19 May, or the reception.
Of the invitees, 1,200 will be nominated by nine regional lord lieutenant offices. Lord lieutenants are the queen’s personal representatives in each county of the UK.
A statement from Kensington Palace said: “The couple has asked that the people chosen are from a broad range of backgrounds and ages, including young people who have shown strong leadership, and those who have served their communities.”
