begging indulgence from the moderators: more poetry of outrage

An Ode to Christian Nihilism:
( herein lies hope for this dope of a pope)

Poof! Just like that, Gone?
so this is now your current prater.

“Cogito era Es”

-is the name of the game
and the sum of the matter?

Is everything now completely permitted?
you don’t reap what you sow
that’s now how it goes
Surely you think us totally dimwitted.

Poof! Gone?

Pity
Mercy
a second chance, perchance?

Even Job had his day in divine court
but, no, heavenly justice you just abort

Poof! Gone!

Buddhists know when push comes to shove
there’s often a complicated sentence to serve,
yet through thick and thin it’s all about Love
but you of ” Poof! Gone “, think you have the nerve!

Pope, listen up and please don’t tarry
Quick, Quick get thee to a monastery

Poof! Gone!

Militants From Iraq, Syria Use Route Via Ukraine to Reach Europe – Moscow

https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201803311063101466-iraq-syria-militants-ukraine-europe/

“Many returnees from Syria and Iraq seek to enter Ukraine through Turkey since Ukraine has a visa-free regime with the European Union. So, Western partners created another big problem for themselves. The Turkish side has been making efforts to avert the transit of terrorists through its territory, but it can hardly stop all of them … It is relatively easy to obtain a Ukrainian passport, so terrorists seek to go there,” Rogachev said.

According to Rogachev, the European Union introduced a visa-free regime with Ukraine to “encourage Kiev for its Russophobia” and revitalize the country’s European aspirations. As a result, the politicization of the situation with Ukraine has led to a security problem for the European Union itself, the diplomat concluded.

Rogachev noted that the main problem was that hundreds and thousands of militants from conflict zones have dispersed across the world. The majority avoid returning to countries of their origin, where law enforcement agencies may have records of their movements and take action.”

The zionazis intended all along that the ukraine would play a similar destabilizing role against Russia and europe as their keeping Afghanistan in turmoil does to central Asia and China.

Turkey Accuses US of Failing to Monitor Its Arms, Helping PKK

https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201803311063100797-turkey-us-arms-pkk/

“Turkish officials have repeatedly claimed that the US’ failure to keep track of its arms, which have on numerous occasions wound up in the hands of Kurdish militia and Daesh* terrorists in Iraq and Syria, is the key factor that has contributed to the deterioration of Washington-Ankara relations.

The United States has reportedly been arming the People’s Protection Units (YPG), which Ankara believes is linked to the Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK), considered as a terrorist group by Turkey. While Washington has promised it would recollect the weapons it had allegedly handed over to the YPG, Turkey has cast doubts that it will actually happen.

Since Ankara launched the operation, codenamed “Olive Branch,” in Syria’s Afrin on January 20, the Turkish military have reportedly confiscated US weapons from terrorist groups, with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan lashing out at its NATO ally.

“You did not give us weapons when we asked for them but gave them to terrorists instead. Now, that ammunition is in our possession,” he said on March 20.”

Russia warns against possible arrest of gold and currency reserves in USA

A representative for the Federation Council of Russia said the arrest of Russian assets in the United States of America would be an act of robbery.

“This is what robbers do – they attack and take belongings away,” First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Foreign Affairs, Vladimir Jabarov, told RIA Novosti.
If this happens, it will become clear that the USA admits any violations of rights. It will also show that investing in the US economy is not safe, because assets in the US are not protected, the senator said.
“The Skripal case is nothing, and it can’t be used for such actions,” Jabarov said.
Earlier, US Ambassador to Russia John Huntsman said that the USA could arrest Russia’s assets in the USA over the case of Sergei Skripal.

The Bank of Russia holds a third of its currency assets in the United States. Formally, the USA can not impose sanctions on the Bank of Russia, even though earlier, US authorities froze the assets of the National Fund of Kazakhstan. The move clearly indicated that Russian assets in the USA could be frozen as well. If the USA freezes Russian gold and foreign currency assets, such an act would be equal to the declaration of war, economist and publicist Mikhail Khazin earlier told Pravda.Ru.

To the children of god, the DJ’ s and the house kids in memory of a great guy and artist and pioneer in a new genre of music who died four years ago march 31st:

My house, electric church, the house of god, is a defined percussive voice grabbing attention:
When the beat comes on from a low dull thud at the rate of an old man’s heart when running
Downhill singing it is grand!
Drums thumping, everyone in the room dancing, lending that bottom to an imaginative
Penetration—
Like a Frankie Knuckles Boiler Room mix!
Ha! Hey! Yeah!

Armchair Cafe Theology (ACT) Part 22

Theology is about seeking the highest, deepest and broadest truth available to us. There is a deep pleasure in knowing the truth, even though when it strikes close to home: it can cause us pain and discomfort. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth is the truth that sets us free. Truth is the conformity between ourselves and Reality, that which endures forever; and not hidden or in isolation, because: “Truth will out.”

Geo-politics is part of the truth, the nitty-gritty, true grit, down to earth reality of the here and now. Traditional theology tends to avoid this motley mess because it itself is shaped by the powers that be; and it can hardly bite the hand that feeds it. As a result, church-state theology stays mostly in the airy-fairy realms where it’s comfortable and safe. Christianity, to its credit, has as its main sign, the cross of crucifixion, planted deep in the muck and mire of this world.

I just finished watching the recent two hour documentary on Putin, with another two hours to follow. These Putin propaganda films are not much different, but improve in technical appeal and persuasive effect. Putin is presented as some kind of contemporary hero and saint, which he well may be, but there are some anomalies that suggest the whole truth is not being told. When a good guy cop is elevated to pedestal status, you can be sure there a bad guy cop in the statue’s shadow. Putin operatives may go too far, and reveal more than they intended in their zeal to protect their own status and monetary benefits, ostensibly in service to their chosen Czar, Monarch and Leader. If such folks can pad election result for their man, they can also pan him as The Man. What’s a man like Vlad supposed to do? Say no?

And what’s the point of all this hullabaloo with sports? Is their anything Putin cannot do in sports, other than best an undefeated female boxer? She can’t go bare breasted but Putin sure can strut his stuff, in the gym and out where the wild beasts swim. Once again, when it’s a one man show continually on center stage, who’s going to want to know what’s really happening in the high tower boardrooms and low level bank bunkers? (Well, thinkers like Sergey Glazyev might). Distraction, misdirection, controlled opposition, faked terrorist theater and raided treasuries are blacked out from our awareness in the glaring light of our “Dear Leader.”

There are some things in the film that strike me as odd. Early on, a young woman says Putin was not groomed or vetted to be president; the statement was out of context, coming out of the blue, as if inserted there by the editors. Why even mention it, unless there was some truth that he was groomed from early on to be a leader? In a communist state then, and in the World State now, all youth with leadership and personality propensities to power are profiled by the masters of management. A lone wolf idealist without connections does not just rise to the top on his own; that not how it works.

In the current state of affairs, it is also necessary to be connected to the ruling race by family ties. One observer pointed out that for over a hundred years there have been marriages in the higher echelons between Russians and Jews. No kidding. These politically motivated marriages have been going on for far longer than one hundred years. Look at what’s happened in England for over a millenium; same for Europe and America. These arranged marriages make for a Pox Britannia, Pox Americana and now a Pox Judaica. Heavens, it was happening back in Babylonia, Greed (sic) and Roman times, with the likes of Josephus and Paul of Tarsus, Jews who became Roman citizens. Is the above mentioned writer preparing the ground for Putin having Jewish blood?

The power of suggestion does not have to be overt at all; it can be very subtle, through relatives, teachers, mentors and other students. Putin showed an interest in Intelligence early on, as Intel did in him. He applied to work for Intel, not for the Army per his immediate ancestors, and is told to pursue a liberal education first, with the implication that he will then be accepted. Intelligence would have known that a relation of his had worked with Lenin and Stalin; and that high connection and a working class background would give Putin a broad appeal, highly useful to the bosses of how things shall be. The programming works best when the young idealist thinks it’s his or her idea, with no awareness of those in the shadows; a pattern of misplaced trust that may persist for the rest of a leader’s life.

Another oddity is the war stories. Usually, the victims of such horrific trauma are reluctant to talk about it, even with those closest to them, much less trumpet their heroism to the public–unless they are being persuaded by the controllers that it is their patriotic duty for the good of the nation. If left on their own, survivors respect their comrades who did not make it, and avoid promoting themselves as heroes; their own post-traumatic stress is enough to deal with. The vets who have shared here are not in that category, since they seem to be handling their war trauma with maturity, and would be smart enough to recognize manipulation from on high.

Second and third hand war exploits can be augmented with each new telling, even in the minds of participants. I’m not saying it didn’t happen but the retelling, by definition, is not the original, and we know how one event can be recalled entirely differently by those who witnessed an accident, assuming that they are not adding to the story, or simply lying. Putin’s older generation relation breathes through a reed while German soldiers pass by without shooting up the water, and then gets dragged across the open ice by a schoolmate while the German gunfire misses them completely. I’m not saying it couldn’t happen but it seems pretty miraculous, as it may have been.

The administrators of deception create attention riveting heroes or anti-heroes to divert investigation from themselves, not to speak of prosecution. People feel safe, believing their leaders would never intentionally hurt them. They support the leader with their lives and resources. The system works best when there is an enemy threatening the people, and the hero is elevated into a savior. At one point in the documentary, Putin is asked what he cannot forgive? With a deadly serious look, he replies: “Betrayal.” He is not specific, but there can be little doubt that he is thinking of Russia. Who or what is really betraying Russia?

By now it’s a canard, but the empire still thrives on a divide and conquer strategy. The controllers of empire turned the west against Russia, making Russia defend itself against the west. The war-mongers stripped Russia of as many assets as they could, without actually sending in troops, a futile exercise tried by Napoleon and Hitler, but the reconstructionists, not satisfied with those dividends, needed to build Russia up again to have an enemy; because how can you generate fear and military expenditures, and thereby profits for the profiteers, if you’re the only uni-power?

If you are the puppeteer, moving all the pieces around on the board, you’re going to need leaders like Putin, to make Russia great again; Trump to make America great again; and Xi to make China great again; and every other nation to make themselves great again. You gloat over the arms sales, and the thousands of subsidiary dependents, making you super-rich and powerful again. Later, you can set these pieces against each other; further increasing the fear and need for ever bigger and better weapons. The bosses of empire couldn’t care less about Zionism, Israel, the West or the Rest; the only thing they care about is Power and Money, in that order.

Power is an addiction like no other; it feeds on other powers, even in the relatively peaceful periods of “balance of power,” and given half a chance, will make its next move to conquer the opposing queen and then checkmate the king; thus making itself King of the Pyramid Mountain; and then proceed to eat itself. Power is a parasite on the Body of Love, which Love allows only for the prerogative of freedom.

Currently, we see The Power, or powers that be, setting up Putin as the good cop, Tump as the good cop and bad cop (to create confusion), Xi as the future chief cop and insane leftist neo-cons (actually fascists for more confusion) as the bad cop. If you think this is chaotic, confusing, distracting, distressing and depressing, you’re right; it’s being programmed into your brain, so that you’ll be a better consumer of useless products and fearful supporter of war, weapons and weirdness. Witness the present self-fulfilling prophecies of nuclear war between east and west, and the frantic drive for ever more deadly WMD’s (weapons of mass destruction). Does it matter if they’re real or fake? Not a whit; remember this is an information war for control of your mind.

Investors from all over the world, in their tax havens, buy stock in Russia, China, the US and everywhere a profit can be made, and invest in any business that depends on war; and what business now does not depend on war, even if far down the trickle spout? It’s all a theater of war now; all faked staged events, with paid low-level actors, hungry for any kind of job. There are a few real wars now, just to legitimize the big fake war game. What’s the difference if Russia has a real army, and the west has a paper army? War is basically a jobs program to keep the testosterone tethered, and to misdirect eyes from seeing the class system as the prison pyramid that it is, by substituting a CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) fake pyramid of payment for the top dwellers and pain for the bottom feeders.

This is the kind of deviousness a true theology has to deal with if it’s not going to be devilish itself. The Cross does save if followed by a Resurrection; and the Incarnation is completed with a Transfiguration, but never if there is some kind of defection from truth, like those little white lies that coalesce into a dirty gray slop. You have your way and I have mine, which I share though signs, symbols, sacraments and metaphors, such as a Love Government, Bower, Vineyard and Army with its ten commandments of love.

If we all put our heads together, and are truthful about it, we can change the world into a Vineyard rather than a Graveyard. Reality endures forever and truth witnesses to it. The empire of power thinks power is all there is and banks on being rewarded in an eternal Power Kingdom; that’s why it plays the long game. I think love is the long game, and power without love is a fools’ paradise where power will turn and bite its promoters, followed by the “grinding and gnashing of teeth.” But who’s to say with some kind of final say? That’s where the doctrine of the Final Judgment comes steppin’ in with Justice and the Lords of Karma.

I have the privilege of choice; I choose to march with the Love Army and to rest in the Love Bower; the former by investigating truth in all its ramifications, and the latter by listening to you in all your analyzations–which is to say: “I heard it on the grapevine…”

Finally, I say again that this is my opinion, and I may not be right but I certainly will be wrong if I do not sing my song. Jesus said something like: “What does it profit you if you agree with the whole world but lose your soul?” and “What great profit it is, if you disagree with the whole world but save your soul.”

“John Bolton is a bully,” José Bustani, the retired Brazilian diplomat and former head of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, told me when I reached him by phone in Paris earlier this month.

There are a number of people who claim to have been bullied or intimidated by Bolton – including Bustani. The latter’s criticisms of the famously mustachioed hawk have been public for many years now, but some of the details of his tense encounter with Bolton at the OPCW have never been reported before in English.

In early 2002, a year before the invasion of Iraq, the Bush administration was putting intense pressure on Bustani to quit as director-general of the OPCW – despite the fact that he had been unanimously re-elected to head the 145-nation body just two years earlier. His transgression? Negotiating with Saddam Hussein’s Iraq to allow OPCW weapons inspectors to make unannounced visits to that country – thereby undermining Washington’s rationale for regime change.

In 2001, then-Secretary of State Colin Powell had penned a letter to Bustani, thanking him for his “very impressive” work. By March 2002, however, Bolton – then serving as under secretary of state for Arms Control and International Security Affairs – arrived in person at the OPCW headquarters in the Hague to issue a warning to the organization’s chief. And, according to Bustani, Bolton didn’t mince words.

“Cheney wants you out,” Bustani recalled Bolton saying, referring to the then-vice president of the United States. “We can’t accept your management style.”
Bolton continued, according to Bustani’s recollections:
“You have 24 hours to leave the organization, and if you don’t comply with this decision by Washington, we have ways to retaliate against you.”
There was a pause.
“We know where your kids live. You have two sons in New York.” ….

Undetectable: Russia Develops Stealth Bomb to Glide in Enemy Airspace (VIDEO)

https://sputniknews.com/military/201804011063113151-russia-bomb-fighter/

“Russia’s fifth generation Su-57 fighter jets will be armed with the newly-designed Drel air bomb, the deputy head of the Techmash Concern, Alexander Kochkin said.

“The Drel can be used on all types of aircraft, from long-range strategic bombers to ground attack planes,” Kochkin told Russian media.

He added that the “fire and forget” bomb may be dropped by a bomber jet without entering enemy airspace as the bomb itself can glide for over 30 kilometers (19 miles).

“The plane drops the bomb, it starts to glide down and its onboard self-homing system puts it on track to its target,” Kochkin explained.

A single cluster of sub-munitions from the bomb would be capable of taking out a missile battery or a tank column.

The bomb is also virtually invisible to radar with heat-seeking elements and is immune to radio-electronic countermeasures.”

Armchair Cafe Theology (ACT) Part 23

This week in the west is Holy Week; in the east it’s next week. On Holy Thursday, Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, ate the Last Supper with them and went out to the Garden of Gethsemane to have his bloody vision of what was to come on Friday. Who can say how much of this gripping and world-changing story is historical? Quibbling over “historicity” is a misdirection from the point anyway. What counts is how this universal mystery-play plays out in each body-soul and in the world as a whole. My project is to seek a middle way between Naturology and Christology, and to reset Christianity back on its natural base of Loveranity; so that it can deal effectively with the real problems of this world.

My back has been aching, a minor inconvenience, not to be compared with the suffering of the world, but today, Easter Sunday, there’s been a diminution of the pain, and signs of an eventual healing. I’m grateful for this Easter gift, but some pain lingers, and the heaviness of spirit that goes with it. They say “ignorance is bliss,” but I think it is rather a kiss of death since ignorance is no excuse when truth and justice are right around the corner. Blacking awareness out with denial is the first pain-killing drug. Jesus sweat blood rather than take that opium. Lenin is said to have remarked that “religion was the opium of the people,” and instead gave them the Vicodin of Communism, the reverse coin side of Fascism, a false reversed religion, worse than the first.

Jesus took on the sins of the world, a verisimilitude to what we do, each in our degree and capacity. We save ourselves and the world simultaneously if we can balance the Cross with the Crescent–that is the Moon of Womam’s World of Resurrection, when she dies monthly, or goes dark, on Good Friday, the first day of emptiness; and then on Easter Sunday crescents anew on the third day, waxing into the fifteenth day of fullness. The theology of this truth is Salvation, the Revelation of Nature, from which derive the hundreds of male dying and rising saviors.

Currently, the world is in a mad rush to grab what it can off the shelves of materialism, before the consumerism markets are empty. A prime example of that is the new dead man’s “crypt”-currency of prison blocks and jail chains to empty our pockets and fill the dockets of those who milk the public treasury like it’s their private piggy-bank. The only difference between this born-again “fear” money and the previously birthed “fiat” honey-stocks is that they’re differently counterfeited, both to exchange worthless illusions with people’s real goods and labor.

Jesus, or She’sus as I call him, (to remind me that all of us are in on this gambling game), stands for an entirely different reality. Some stores are closed on Easter, so we can do our religious or civic duty, before hunting those chocolate eggs and bunnies, feasting on ham and catching the sports train. And what are the children being trained for, if not consumerism and dental problems? Gargantuan Greed is a long way from Gethsemane’s Creed. Of course, this Screed is not the whole story, and there are many beautiful Easterfull blessings throughout Nature’s easter basket and in our own wonderful tisket a tastic humanity.

Easter, this year in the west, falls on April Fools’ Day, and in the east about the time the US income tax is due; but not to fear, an accountant is near. Everyone gets to pay taxes, first by the dozens of hidden pocket pickings in commerce and work withholdings every day of the year, 24/7. I’m being not facetious but factual; judge the tree by its fruits. And yes, there are exceptions that prove the rule; and I know you are one of them, just as I am; or so we think.

I guess this is my way of wishing you all a Happy Easter, in the west now and in the east later. We’re not all Christian, but that is just one application of Nature’s Spring. I’m not lauding any one particular app, but the general joy of renewal for one and all. Here, where the largest fire in California’s history occurred three months ago, the burned brown hills are sprouting green, the birds are singing after the rain, the moon is full, the stars twinkle and the sun warms my heart, even from behind the clouds. Wherever you are, and however you’re feeling, and whatever the weather is there, this Vineyard is our fair-weather sun-scape that makes our inner landscape sunny and bright with love’s joyful light.

Love, Dennis

Needa take note of the little things. Little, but significant changes:

Like this commercial that interrupted my viewing of Bill Holter on the SGT Report: Cabal on the Run

https://youtu.be/C67ja1_GEYo

I was irritated for a nano-second……until I realized that it was a singularity, for me at least.

Not a Christopher Green crypto course, or Ivan on Tech (He’s a Swede, not a Russian….we need a Russian Crypto-Guru….) but, what’s this?? Banking system blockchain disruption commercial for Banxx.com?? I’ll look into it further. And report back…….Mas Tarde! Yeah, yeah, yeah “Be your own bank.” Got your Blockchain Not So Encrypted Message.

But right now I’d rather Be My Own Tank and grease the treads with Globalist Slime! “The Truth Gonna Run You Down.”

But first, since it’s Café, the Lyrics for the Greasing:

Cabal On The Run:

Well, the Dollar imploded with a mighty swoosh as it swept up everyone,
And the LeGarde said to Lyn Rothschild, “The End Has Just Begun!”.
Cabal on the run, Cabal on the run.
And the Pedophiles and Satanists scattered and shat a ton!

For the Cabal on the run, Cabal on the run, Praise Allah, Kaballah on the Run!

Well, the Zionists wiped their brows, and in Chorus moaned “Oy veh!”
And a bell was tolling in Jerusalem for Bibi and for Sarkozy’s Justice Day.
Cabal on the run, Cabal melted down…..by the risen SON!
And Steele buckled and Theresa wept as Truth destroyed their evil fun!

Well, the globaloney was failling in Salisbury as the truth came pouring out.
That behind it all was desperate coverup of NATO special forces in Syria rout.
Cabal on the run, Cabal on the run…..( from spetnaz and Assad.)

And the Emperor’s Clothes are where? Who knows!
The NAKED LIES laid bare before the World!
For the Cabal on the run, Cabal on the run, Cabal on the run.

Oh, I forgot Bill Holter:

https://youtu.be/WyTDK_VvxTY

Last Question to Him: “You say the Dollar is toast because March first it was revealed that we have been eclipsed, and our military dominance was the only thing holding our economy up. Is there any good news?”

Holter: “Yes. There are people alive today who have been hoodwinked their entire lives. And the revelation of Truth is going to be shocking. It is going to be devastating to standards of living. But who wants to live a false existence, who wants to live a false life? I would rather live a (harder) life with truth all around me, than Live a Lie.”
