The Harder Israel Tries, the Weaker it Looks. By Elijah Magnier.
https://ejmagnier.com/2018/05/10/iran-breaks-the-rules-of-engagement-israel-takes-its-revenge-and-syria-and-iran-impose-the-golan-equation/
I wonder who actually considers Syria to be a rule breaker.
Israel’s way of feeling great is to murder Palestinians – esp. children – 6 shot today and died amongst the 43 74 wounded in the 2,200 so far. Disgraceful :

(Unofficial but reliable) SAA Facebook Summary of Yesterday’s Events.
“A comprehensive report regarding what happened last night and this morning.
– Late yesterday evening Zionist military conducted number of artillery strikes against a Syrian Army post in Khan Arnabea which led to SAA returning fire by firing number of mortars against the source of Zionist fire.
– The enemy did not stop its attack and launched number of recon drones to sweep the borders over the airspace of the occupied-Golan Heights without entering Syrian Airspace.
– Enemy brought a Merkava Tank which fired 6 random shots into al-Baa`th city in al-Quneitra which led to SAA’s Tank Hunters dealing with the situation according to the rules of engagement.
– Enemy fired a long-range Stand-Off missile into Damascus International Airport which was intercepted and destroyed by SyAAD ~30km Southeastern Damascus.
– The Syrian 7th Division was given an order to strike 4 Zionist military establishments inside the occupied-Golan Heights; at 00:00 a barrage of 40 rockets were fired at the Zionist military establishments.
– Zionist airforce quickly escalated the situation by launching several long-range Stand-Off missiles at number of Syrian Targets in and around Damascus, and three targets in Homs.
– SyAAD foiled the first three waves of attacks by the Zionists which forced the Zionists to resort to surface-to-surface missiles.
– After the Zionist’s 3rd wave of missiles, the Syrian 7th Division was given another order to launch a barrage of 20 missiles at Zionist Military establishments in the occupied-Golan Heights.
– The number of Zionist war jets participated in the attack was ~30 jets, all of which fired their missiles from outside the Syrian and even Lebanese airspace and did not dare to enter either.
– Zionist launched a 4th wave of missiles combined with decoy, surface to surface and air launched long-range missiles; and this was the wave that 4 of its missiles reached their targets and hit an SyAAD detection radar, an SyAAD short-range defense battery (seen in enemy footage) and two ammunition depots.
– No Long-Range SAM were fired at the Zionist jets although they were in range multiple times, and that is up to the Syrian Command’s rules of engagement to determine (Despite one’s feelings this is not a game, this is real war)
– To our knowledge, the majority of the Syrian missiles fired at the Zionist’s locations reached their targets.
– Syrian casualties were three martyrs.
With all do respect to all Syrian allies, the entire situation was dealt with by the Syrian Arab Army and under Syrian command’s orders.
We shared our losses, but we dare the Zionists to share theirs especially that all the targets the Syrian missiles hit were military targets in designated military areas; and we dare the Zionists to share proof of their successful interception of Syrian Missiles.”
Strong Syrian Reaction Surprises Israeli Mafia.
“… There are strong talks on some forums today that Israel was actually very surprised with the Syrian reaction, it seems Israel’s provocations was not taking in consideration that sort of vigorous answer by the Syrian Gov’t, not the fact the most of their missiles were intercepted.
The day after shows a lot, Israelis have basically shut down all northern part of the country, schools, many companies etc…and in Syria, life goes on normally.
I agree with you, there will be always tons of info that we are not prive of, and these missing pieces are always important for a complete picture.
Among many views related to yesterday, one thing is clear, this was the 1st time in 45 that Syria has counter attacked Israel so aggressively, the last retaliations were always few shelling or bombs, not the few hours long retaliation, the underline is clear, Syria is prepped to escalate, Israel’s “free walk in the park” provocations are over.
There is another learning from all this.
Israel, US and France may have planned all along the timing (Trump’s 8th announcement, Natanyahu 9th Guest of Honor presence in the Victory Day in Moscow and Israeli attack on the 9th. Timeline is no coincidence.
The whole idea may have been to give EU a back track possibility from the JCPOA by blaming Iran (we have seen Macron referring to it as Iranian aggression, and Germany saying the same), and to weaken Iranian hand on JCPOA re arrangements, shifting Iranian strong moral ground by the US exit, and pressure Iran toward a new nuke deal, kind of pushing to a mid term between what Trump wanted (include ballistic missiles etc…).
Syria is unfortunately being used, Russia tried to warn Syria and Iran that the latter should reduce its footprint in Syria so it would not draw this kind of action from the coalition of the evil, for months we heard news to push Hizballah and IRGC away from southern Damascus, the formed did it but the latter not much.
I think it is highly improbable for a major escalation, the IDF will continue to try to keep the attacks on, knowingly that Syria will retaliate, but may not refrain for a ground assault, IDF would face some terrible losses if they tried.
Today and tomorrow will be good days to check how things will move from here.
But Golan, as of yesterday, has turned into a possible battle ground for the future if Israel attack Syria more times.” (Canthama)
Good stuff _smr. Surely Saker will have more soon.
Daily update ($4.75 month) by London Paul of http://www.thesiriusreport.com seems corroborated your sources…who knows….this is all quick on my part…no intensive concentration. Maybe your sources are one of his, as well.

“Members of China’s Communist Party (CPC) in Qingyang town, Binzhou city, in East China’s Shandong Province are the first to undergo a virtual reality (VR) loyalty and qualities test. “
The borrowing of terms in language always reveals…so? Well, it occurs to me that there is a similarity between “Iron Dome” and “Eisener Vorhang”. as there are in terms of ideologies between zion today and Fascist (and protofascist Imperial) Germany.
We shall see how the Fates deal with the current example, while we know how the Reds dealt with the former example…
The recent events between Syria and zion make it clear that “Iron Dome” “leaks” really a lot, as “Eisener Vorhang” also failed…
Always cheaper to make a rocket than it is to shoot one down… Like Duh!
No S-300 for Syria says Russia

The mask has slipped very quickly from the unknown Putin.
Only if you have never listened to him speak is he “Unknown”.
Only if you have never sat through hours of seeing him field questions from his people and reporters
Only if you have never listened to his many interviews, his responses
Only if you cannot see the pattern of how he does things – his subtlety, his “out of the box” unexpected methods of dealing with things.
Only then is he “Unknown”.
To those of us who have conducted such a study, he is very well known.
And he wears no mask.
It says so much about you, that you can see things this way, and make this statement.
It says nothing about V.V. at all.
“It says nothing about V.V. at all.”
Maybe the continuing love affair portrayed in the 2016 image here will explain it more easily for you

The fluctuation of words regarding the supplies of S-300 to Syria is continuing and will continue. The time of proof shall come one day as the situation will develop in a more serious action. Then the veils will fall.
“The time of proof shall come”
The time of proof has long since passed. There are over 500 thousand dead Syrians now.
I think you misunderstood my words : with so much wind with explanations on the S-300 (they were given, they were not, they are given but not yet used…etc.), when a bigger attack will occur, if they are really there, they must be used. However, the israelis are attacking with their planes from their airspace or Lebanon’s airspace. Another thing : it seems, they’re pursuing a strategy of small cuts, every week one or two, the same method as with the palestinians. A bigger attack may not come. So, this salami taktik seems to be the modus-operandi, cutting slice after slice after slice…
“cutting slice after slice after slice…”
Yes. Continuous low-level war. Convenient ground for proof of weapon systems and sales to those with deep pockets to kill more in Yemen for example https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-saudi-arabia-missiles-/28783642.html
“An agreement has been reached with the kingdom of Saudi Arabia to deliver the S-400 air-defense system, antitank Kornet-EM rocket systems, TOS-1A (multiple rocket-launcher) systems, AGS-30 automated grenade launchers, and Kalashnikov AK-103 assault rifles,” the RIA Novosti news agency cited her as saying.”
What today is business, one day, that may come back as a boomerang effect on the vendors of death. I understand the need for making money, but with what a price ?
“but with what a price ?”
Indeed.
Rather than reincarnation, or something, I briefly wonder sometimes if this is not hell already.
Hello All,
My name is Cynthia.I am 66.I had a very idyllic childhood in the days when my mother stayed home and took care of the house and me and my 2 brothers and my father commuted to NYC from our home in Princeton,NJ. My parents were old New Englanders,Both sides of the family fought in the American Revolution,arriving from England in the 1600’s. My father was an air ace in WW11,and earned 3 distinguished flying crosses and 6 air medals. We were Episcopalian.My Mother gave me a reality of a loving Jesus. Patriotism was akin to religion.America the beautiful.One nation under God. “The rockets red glare,the bombs bursting in air”were words to a song,absent from their reality. I pray for the Saker and PCR and Steve Lendeman and other truth tellers today. I would like to ask that you see animals used for food and entertainment and clothing and experimentation as equal in their suffering imposed by greedy,selfish,morally and ethically bankrupt humans as the human recipients of the same depraved people.They too experience the horrors and loss of war as well.Please don,t allow yourself to talk about empathy and compassion while eating a hamburger or a big chunk of cheese from some poor raped mother who had her baby dragged away from her at birth.
I try to not turn away from reality and yet at the same time “follow beauty to it’s lair”, along with Love.I need to bring the energy of Love and Light to earth through my prayer and meditation.
Love to all of you intelligent,eloquent,compassionate ones who bring reality to light….and to Truth seekers everywhere!
Mod. Note: (Sigh) Oh well, this is, after all, the Moveable Feast Cafe.
While I do eat a vegan diet from time to time due to being Orthodox. I don’t try to guilt trip any other person into taking on a vegan diet. When you say “poor raped mother” do you mean human or animal? As far as I can tell, human laws don’t apply to animals. Nor are they bound to them for a very good reason.
Cynthia is all right.
I feel no guilt after reading her comment. If anyone does, they might consider toughening up a wee bit, eh?? She didn’t go after any one for not freeing their pets (to be run over by cars or torn to pieces by coyotes….in my area of the OC) ….the logical consequences of one of the “commandments” of one of our most voluminous contributors! LOL.
She might even have a pet!
Tsarski
The workers in these horrible factory farms do actually refer to the pens where the female is tied up and inseminated as “rape pens”.
It certainly gives an indication of the mentality of those who run these horrific outfits.
I am with Cynthia – and incidental am offended by the Mods comment.
I only eat dairy because I live in Ecuador, where the products are collected from real farms, where the cows spend their days grazing with their herd and their babies stay with them. Where there are NO factory farms.
Now that Correa is gone and the replacement a weak kneed vassal to America, I have to hope the invaders dont force it on the place in order to make some sort of profit – but so far, no. The farming practices are kind and – as far as I can see – entirely ethical.
It matters. It has been said that you can judge a people, a Nation, by how they treat their most vulnerable, and animals in our care are certainly that. The treatment of the vulnerable by the AngloSaxon nations is disgusting in the extreme, so the way they have behaved the world over should come as no surprise at all.
Isabella
I am currently applying for residency in Ecuador. Not sure if this is the forum to exchange such information, but as you mentioned it, my curiosity sure is peaked to learn of another comrade.
I share your sentiments in the above post and others where you have expressed your trust in VP .
Cheers
k
“I share your sentiments in the above post”
Definitely
“and others where you have expressed your trust in VP”
Definitely not.
It’s, sort of, like faith in Jesus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_evil
Totally inexplicable.
“For those who can understand, No explanation is necessary
For those who cannot – no explanation is possible”.
Like the colour blind man who can never see red or green, no matter how much it’s explained because he lacks the specific requirement to grasp it – you too lack what it takes to understand it.
So there would never be any point explaining it to you.
Kinterra, I did answer another post of yours in another thread, I think, where I gave you my email address should you wish to write for any information about Ecuador. Dont know if you got it.
You are right, Tsarski. Studies have shown that plants experience distress if a leaf is stripped off the main body of the plant. Where does this leave us? I understand and support improving conditions for animals bred for human food supply, but diet is an individual issue and there should be no imposed emotional factor. Diet, like all else where humans are concerned is karmic, ie; our needs vary and cannot be replaced with someones idea of what is “best for all”. No such thing exists.

It appears our ancestries pretty well mirror one another.
Let me add one ancestor each to Lexington-Concord and the Boston Tea Party, plus two Mayflower passengers, two Knights of the Madga Carta, and Lady Godiva.
Likely, DNA does account for patriotism and proper government.
And for chaos and destruction.
S300 story is Most Interesting, amigo. Because? Because these stories (there are more than one…ahemm.) are not same. Ambiguous. Ambiguity is essence of deception. Deception is basis of War, Comrades… I intuit and deduce probable from this is, in reality, a change of Policy in Ru, it is therefor very significant… Israel (“zion”, as History never repeats and Israel as well as Judah, is long gone…) zion is now opposed in war by ru, as this principle of ambiguity is being used by Ru… This is probably, I judge, not perceived yet by zion.
Because Empire and zion are coordinated (never mind how…) the implication is that an incremental increase in the level of belligerence between Empire and Ru has taken place.
In related matter…Country Joe…coolstuff …Empire and USA have always been a poor fit..

But many will be happy to read/ hear Comrade Corbett, as he speaks to his audience about real, ongoing, “nuclear Threats in the Middle East (no kidding! A dose of reality from another source…
https://www.corbettreport.com/israelinukes/
In yet another random thought…Comrade Bentley, citizen of Donbass, is (to my eye) typical Texan, shaped by injustice (the FederalJoint and cops in the intelopdrugwar) and thus radicalized (as they say) by the same machine that he now repudiates so finally and bravely… So, since he seems typical (I have known some Texans) how many more “RBs” should be expected to stay home and fight?
His personal story is, I think, rather a normal one merely special because of the path that lead him to the Donbass. Presumably many other Texans will go to other places…but how many will stay in Texas?
My sense is that most will stay and fight near home.
But I can’t believe my own ideas are realistic. Can this be happening?
How leaderless we are… Was it Jesus that said, in the end, that we shall know the sheep from the goats?
Sure see’m now, eh?
Mod. Note. A million thanks to “irrelevant” for this “stream of thought” posting which brought great insight to my otherwise empty day.
Texans have a long history as a nation, that is, a people in community bound to a place.
Grant writes in his autobio that the Mexican War (he served as a young officer in Mexwar) would lead to destabilization of the US and Civil War – and saw Texas as a rogue province of Northern Mexico, more or less related to infiltration and insurgency…a familiar method. Texas joined the US as a sovereign and equal in law, by Treaty. Texans used to often say that they were free to renounce said Treaty… A fractious population…a nation in fact.
Though the matter of the rest of the West is more obscure, presumably the remaining western States are also free to also repudiate Treaties…
But all this depends not on legalistic maneuvers, but on differentials in perceived power. As the Clowns of DC squander what’s remaining, power leaks away, and a new equilibrium comes into existence. At some point in said process…
The Mexicans speak of “Reconquesta”, but you need to move quietly and keep white ears tuned to Spanish to overhear this in the backwater areas…
I remember being the sole “anglo” punching timeclock in steelworker union…one white guy, a handfull of Negro mates, and about 100 Mexicans… When “me-grey” raided, those days, no one but me and the Black men were there…tip off was the rule…in 1970…so those days we did maintenance…
Union member all my life long. It was meaningful to me.
The short and the long of it:
3/1/18: another phase has just begun
as the clock starts countdown ticking
for 6 years to thoroughly modernize
If it fails Russians are the ones
who will take the brutal licking
So who are we so quick to criticize?
Great leap forward and all aboard
a class war now they can’t afford
Russians all–rich and poor
Need pull together in victory score
1990’s are left far behind
History’s challenge is overturned
by Russian union more refined
Fair is Fair–lessons were learned.
But into minds another lesson is seared
a foreign war’s drain is rightly feared
But , for peace,a corner is turned
In Syria’s struggle, sovereignty earned
By universal law all claim to believe
Syria is for Syrians let all troops leave
Israel, FUKUS, Turkey, Iran, Russia and more
In this Great Game, there’s no winning score.
Looks like my prayers for Russia are being answered:
http://www.atimes.com/article/putin-comes-out-with-a-russia-first-strategy/
Putin’s plan is almost exactly what I have posted in this blog for Russia.
But the plan lacks detail although the intention and direction are clear.
The visible outcome I like to see are God-fearing and Jesus Christ following happy Russian families of 3 to 4 children each, with both mother and father doing their respective roles effectively with vodka under control and not in control of either parent.
May God bless Russia and guide Putin with wisdom as he rules Russia for the next 5 years.
I have a question I just read a comment on Asia Times saying Lavoy
Is going to be out is this true? If so what does this mean, for all the countries around Russia?

Every Day Until Tomorrow
by ioan
No words from you, my friend
It’s silence under your tent
The winter has already gone
Summer is here, but the sun ?
Seems cold and heavy clouded
Thoughts are swaying slowly,
Minds are getting loaded
And I begin to worry
What happened with the smile,
The friendly toss, the fun
Coming together like a pile,
Now swept away in smoke of gun
Are we changing the world
Or the world is changing us,
With a wind from mouths of gold
In soprano and in bass
Let it be the way it has to
Let the day the night to follow,
What we can, we’ll surely do
Every day, until tomorrow !
Nice!
Felix Dennis (author of the highly ironic…How to Get Rich …….he tries mightily to dissuade the reader from the idea of having and keeping that goal.….then reluctantly continues….for those still reading….after some dark chapters……LOL.) made about 600 million dollars off WIRED Magazine and many others….including a memorial edition for Bruce Lee….that sold so well…it kept going as a regular publication for a decade or two…..said his main regret was having not quit pursuing monetary riches much, much sooner …..at about $40 million.
The reason for his regret? By going for 9 figures instead of settling for 8, Felix ran out of enough TIME to write poetry for enough decades, his real heart’s desire! And then died of cancer, not that old…late sixties or early seventies or something. Poor guy!
See how rich you are??
Yes, yes, good example, thanks comrade. Anyway I would be happy to pay my bills without a headache for the next month…I wouldn’t get rid of such encouragement – just in Time, before I step on the red line.

Building The Golden Gate Bridge (1930’s)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKU1PTyHtbM
When the first design was rejected in 1929 by the board of engineers overseeing the project, chief engineer Joseph Strauss tasked Charles Ellis with incorporating a new theory of suspension bridge design into the second proposal. Charles Ellis was never credited for the bridge despite designing, in his own words, “every nut and bolt on the darn thing.” Outside of the engineering community, few knew of Ellis’ groundbreaking work until a series of books and documentaries highlighted the controversy in the early 21st century.

Шинель … Shinel … Cloak … Overcoat …
“The Overcoat” Shinel; sometimes translated as “The Cloak” is a short story by Ukrainian-born Russian author Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol, published in 1842. The story and its author have had great influence on Russian literature, as expressed in a quote attributed to Fyodor Dostoyevsky: “We all come out from Gogol’s ‘Overcoat’.” The story has been adapted into a variety of stage and film interpretations, such as this film starring Buster Keaton.

Buster Keaton, the stone faced man, what a brilliant actor. I remember the first film I saw with him was “The General” , I was a third grade school boy, they showed us at every Saturday a film in the classroom (yes, in the communist/socialist era, we were going to school even Saturday’s – and we worked also on Saturday’s)
Other films, with Max Brothers, Charlie Chaplin, Oliver Hardy & Stanley Laurel. That day the teaching lasted only two hours, from 8 to 10 a’clock. Even with that solely Sunday, we had a lot of time for everything (not the case today) Time is a relative affair.

Syrian Air Defense System Destroyed by Israel Was Allegedly Unarmed (PHOTO)
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201805121064390794-syria-air-defense-destroyed-israel/
“A Russian military correspondent, Alexander Kots, has uploaded a picture of a Syrian air defense system, a Pantsir-S1, eliminated by the Israeli airstrikes.
“It’s written here that all the missiles had been fired (this can be seen from the burned pipes), the radar is not in the combat position, the missile hit point, the hydraulic rack is raised. That is, it simply had nothing to fight off with, it was waiting to be recharged,” he tweeted.
Kots stressed that if it was in fact waiting to be recharged, Israel merely destroyed an unarmed system. The image suggests that the Pantsir-S1 was destroyed by an IAI Harop, a loitering munition, with previous allegations that the IDF might had fired Delilah cruise missiles, or Spike NLOS, a fire-and-forget anti-tank guided missile.
The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported, citing a military source, that the army’s air defenses had “shot down dozens of Israeli missiles, preventing most of them from reaching their targets,” however, some of the rockets managed to hit radars and an ammunition depot.”
Additionally to what Kots noted above, looking in the lower right hand section of the photo:
https://mobile.almasdarnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Dc8eBxoWsAIGMBA-915×516.jpg
One can see a raised stabilising jack. These are normally lowered when the unit is prepared for action. Further evidence the Pantsir was not in action when struck.
‘It was either disabled or out of ammo’: How Israelis hit the Syrian SA-22 air defense system
https://www.rt.com/news/426520-syria-israel-pantsir-russia/
“There can be only two possible explanations for a successful strike against a Pantsir-S1: “One is that it had already used up its ammunition reserve. The other is that it was simply turned off; it wasn’t battle ready,” Aytech Bizhev, a former Russian Air Force Deputy Commander-in-Chief, said.
“There can be no third option as it wouldn’t have let itself to be destroyed… When it’s battle-ready it performs constant surveillance of enemy aircraft and has a very fast reaction time. It would’ve brought down those cruise missiles with either its cannons or own missiles,” he explained.
The Israeli footage shows none of the Syrian Pantsir’s weapons were even pointing at the incoming missile. The three human figures standing outside the vehicle in the video, likely the crew, also suggest that it wasn’t operational at the time of the attack.
According to Bizhev, the Israeli Air Force used its geographical advantage to catch the Syrian military off guard on Thursday.
“No matter how well-trained your personnel is and how good your hardware is, you know that the fly-in time between Israel and Syria is zero [as the countries have a common border]. Furthermore, the Israeli F15 and F16 fighters carried out the airstrikes without entering the [Syrian] air defense area.”
“They approached at low altitudes then bounced from behind the Golan Heights, carried out the attack and left,” he added.
According to the expert, the Pantsir-S1 “requires between three to five minutes to go operational.” Keeping the systems on full alert at all times is impossible, mainly because it’s going to be absolutely exhausting for the crew.
A military observer for the Gazeta.ru website, retired Colonel Mikhail Khodorenok, also pointed out that the Russian-made system wasn’t in any way camouflaged or placed in a specially prepared position at the time of the airstrike. “This indicates that the Pantsir- S1 wasn’t ready for engagement.”
WATCH Alleged Missile Launched From Syria Scares Israeli Wedding Guests
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201805121064384355-missile-israel-wedding/
“A video, uploaded to YouTube, shows an Israeli wedding reception being interrupted by emergency sirens and people, including the groom and the bride, screaming and running away in panic as a missile, allegedly launched from Syria, passed over the site of the party.”
The israelis claimed the Syrian retaliatory missiles were either shot down or landed on the Syrian side of the occupied Golan Heights. Apparently, israelis have wedding parties in Syria… :-D
“Apparently, Israelis have wedding parties in Syria…..”
Well, that is the medium to long term goal, is it not?
It’s from 2014 !
Yeah, Sputnik updated the article after I linked it here:
“A video, which was allegedly showing Israeli wedding guests scared off by “missiles fired from Syria,” appeared to be a footage dating back to 2014.
A footage, which was allegedly released on May 11, turned out to be a footage made on July 8, 2014, showing a missile reportedly fired by Hamas militant group from Gaza.
Editor’s note: This article has been updated in order to clarify that the video initially appeared online in 2014 and was showing a Hamas missile fired from Gaza. We apologize to our readers for the mistake.”

Israeli Weapons Among Arms Handed Over to Syrian Army By Terrorists in Damascus
https://sputniknews.com/military/201805111064369777-israeli-weapons-damascus-syria/
“Terrorists in the south Damascus towns of Babila, Yelda and Beit Sahem handed over their “medium and heavy weapons” to the Syrian Army on Friday, according to reports by the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA.) The militants will now be transported to the Idlib governorate as part of the agreed transfer deal.
A local SANA reporter said the militants handed over an array of armaments, including weapons produced by Israel. The list of relinquished weapons includes machine guns, sniper rifles, mortar launchers, improvised explosives and landmines.
Both Iran and Syria have accused Israel of aiding terrorists, including Daesh fanatics, in Syria, especially in Damascus and near the Golan Heights.
Tehran described the Israeli Defense Forces’ (IDF) attack against Syria on May 10 as Tel Aviv’s latest attempt to assist terrorists in the country, who have suffered a string of defeats at the hands of Syrian government forces, backed by their Russian and Iranian allies.”
WATCH “Israeli-Made” Landmines, Other Weaponry Handed Over by Syrian Militants
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201805121064387653-syria-terrorists-turned-in-weapons/
“The agency informed that among the weapons that were handed in, there were 60, 80 and 120 mm mortars, 14.5 and 23 mm PKC machine guns, sniper rifles, RPGs, rifles, rocket shells, IEDs and reportedly Israeli-made landmines, along with various types of locally-made weapons.
There were also stolen cars equipped with 23 and 14 mm machine guns, large quantities of fertilizer, gunpowder and ammonium nitrate used by the terrorist organizations in manufacturing IEDs and homemade mortar shells, the media outlet noted.”
What, israel is supplying al qaida/isis with weaponry? What a shock! ;-D
No wider war for Russia:
https://ejmagnier.com/2018/05/10/iran-breaks-the-rules-of-engagement-israel-takes-its-revenge-and-syria-and-iran-impose-the-golan-equation/
“Syria, in coordination with its Iranian allies (without taking into consideration Russian wishes) took a very audacious decision to fire back against Israeli targets in the Golan. This indicates that Damascus and its allies are ready to widen the battle, in response to continual Israeli provocations.”
Thank God. Close down Tartus and kick them out,
I notice that Syria itself seems to be very quiet these events?
The situation for Julian Assange if so grievous.
I looked at those photos of him in which he is so pale and white, and his hair white and thin- his countenance so weak from years of imprisonment from no access to the life forces of the sunlight. The photos make a deep impression. His face and the gaze in his eyes presents something akin to a lamb- meek, helpless, vulnerable and painfully sacrificial. Julian is going to be mercilessly sacrificed for speaking Truth. For me, and I hope for others it is a call to pray for his soul. May his soul have the strength to endure as he is turned over to his enemies.
k
I wonder though where are his defenders ? until he was free to deliver a lot of info which was used by many, including Russia, where are they now ? ” thanks for your work, now you can go…” Here is yet another example on how a whistleblower is being “rewarded”. What does this mean ? exactly what you think : the opposite of encouragement.

Iranian Movie about ISIS in Syria
https://dissidentvoice.org/2018/05/iranian-movie-about-isis-in-syria/
“A new full-length action movie, titled Damascus Time, gives an Iranian perspective on the battle against ISIS in Syria.
The movie comes from Iranian screenwriter and film director Ebrahim Hatamikia. Two award winning Iranian actors, Hadi Hejazifar and Babak Hamidian, play father and son pilots trying to rescue civilians besieged and attacked by ISIS forces in eastern Syria. The pilots have come to help the townspeople escape in an aging Ilyushin cargo plane.
One of the ironies of modern history is that Western politicians criticize Iran for being the “leading state sponsor of terrorism.” In reality Iran has a record opposing sectarianism and extremism. Different faiths are respected within Iran, and Iranian Jews are represented within parliament, in contrast with Israeli propaganda.
In reality, it is the US and UK who have sponsored terrorism for decades. As documented in Devil’s Game: How the US Helped Unleash Fundamentalist Islam, the US and UK promoted a violent and sectarian wing of the Muslim Brotherhood to undermine the nationalist and socialist policies of Gamal Abdel Nasser in Egypt. Starting in 1979, the US and Saudi Arabia promoted the founders of Al Qaeda to attack the socialist leaning government of Afghanistan.
This policy has continued to the present. In the summer of 2012, the US Defense Intelligence Agency outlined their strategy in a secret document: “There is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Slafist principality in Eastern Syria (Hasaka and Der Zor).” The US looked favorably on the creation of the Islamic State: “This is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime…”.
The true “state sponsor of terrorism” is not Iran; it is the West and their allies. Thus it is appropriate that the first feature length movie depicting the battle against terrorism and ISIS in Syria comes from Iran.
Iran has come to the assistance of Syria by supplying militias plus technical and military advisers. Hundreds of Iranians have given their lives alongside their Syrian and Iraqi comrades. Damascus Time is not the product of Hollywood fantasy; it’s the product of actual human drama and conflict occurring in the Middle East today.
The movie is currently being shown at movie theaters throughout Iran. In recent weeks it was the second highest ranking movie. It should be available for viewing in the West in the near future, unless western sanctions and censorship are extended to culture and film.”
That censorship is already at full throttle, the zionazi-gays propaganda fails when people have access to real info and media outside their control.

http://www.ihrr.org/ihrr_article/violence-en_discrimination-against-religious-and-ethnic-minorities-in-the-islamic-republic-constitution/
Quote:
Formal restrictions against members of religious minorities include:
Denial of the right to be elected as the Supreme Leader or membership of the Supreme Council in accordance with Article 107, which stipulates that only a selected few Shia clergy in certain circumstances can enjoy these rights.
Denial of access to proper political, administrative and judicial structures at all levels. For instance, Article 115 limits the right of candidacy to qualified religious and political figures. In addition, Article 121 about swearing in the President, especially the section that refers to him as the protector of the official religion.[8]
Members of unrecognised minority groups are not allowed to join the Assembly of Experts or be candidates for the parliament according to Article 64.
All followers of minority religions are denied judicial positions based on legal grounds stipulated in the constitution, as Article 61 requires all applicable provisions of the judiciary to be in accordance with Islamic teachings, including the appointment of judges, which in practice bars all minorities from judicial positions.
By the lack of recognition of all belief systems, with the exception of the majority religion of Shia Islam, Articles 12 and 13 of the constitution practically and entirely deny the right to carry out acts of worship, maintain places of worship and engage in the peaceful promotion of their faith to followers of all other religions. This lack of recognition has resulted in the destruction of all places considered holy by the Baha’i faith, some Zoroastrian holy places, the Ne’matollahi Gonabadi Dervishes mosque in Qom and the refusal to issue permits for Sunni mosques in Tehran and other cities.
The emphasis in Article 2 of the constitution that the Iranian state is based on adherence to the teachings of the Shia branch of Islam and solely Shia jurisprudence. This denies every avenue of religious activity, access to media and the right to publish literature for all non-Shias.
The overall advantages for followers of Shia Islam compared to followers of other branches of Islam, recognised minorities and other religious minorities are clearly set out in the constitution.
Unjustified discrimination towards minorities, in particular non-Muslim religious minorities, is enshrined in the constitution. Basing all matters on Sharia laws is a means of exclusion and disregard for non-Muslims who are defined as infidel, given the fact that the Islamic perception of infidels is that of unclean or inferior.[9]

Maybe you think Iran should be a Western secular state.And compare it to that. The “Islamic Republic” is just what it says it is,Islamic. And is a Shia state.Anywhere between 90-95% of the country is Shia. With anywhere between 4-8% Sunni.Are you surprised that there are state positions that only Shia can have.Let me repeat,Iran is an Islamic Shia state.Not a secular Western one.You confuse freedom to “practice” your religion,with equality “of” religions.That is not the same.Most of the minority Sunni are in the far West,and the far Southeast.So building new mosques in Tehran,is unlikely important.The Christians (the largest non-Muslim religious minority) and the small Jewish minority (still the largest in the Muslim World).Don’t seem to be oppressed in their religious practice.I don’t agree with the suppression of the Bahai.But that isn’t just a problem with Iran,but throughout most of the Muslim World. I saw a video that explained the problem a few days ago. In Islam Mohamed is considered the “last” Prophet of God.That there “was to be no other” after him. That is why Judaism and Christianity are permitted in Islam,they are before Mohamed.While faiths that came after (Bahai) are considered heresy or paganism.And are anathema in the Islamic World.As to Sharia Law,most Muslim states have a law code based on Sharia Law.So to think Iran should/would be different is nonsense. Don’t try to compare or judge other nations by the non-religious secular world of the West.It can’t be done,the cultural differences are too great for comparison.The facts are that Iran “tolerates” non-Islamic religions,no worse than most Islamic states.And better than some of them.
“You confuse freedom to “practice” your religion,with equality “of” religion.”
Myth and reality should be separated. On that basis Iran is more guilty than most.
I don’t see how “witty” quips change the points I made.But if you are an Iran hater your mind is closed to facts anyway. So its pointless to try to point then out to you.
I am no more an Iran hater than benevolent monarch detester.
I think belief in a particular religion (from the multitude thereof) is an infantile disease and therefore, if I had been born in Iran, to be treated with less rights due to lack of belief in Shia Islam as infantile treatment.
In this respect, Iran is more infantile than most.
To be prejudiced against due to belief that may well be sheer fantasy is not fine by me.
What exactly do you think I am confused by?
If you consider prejudice against your own Christianity if living in Iran as fine then you’ll need to try harder before I applaude that opinion.
Crypto-Break from Global Strategy of Tension & Deception Matrix……and Info-Deplorable Civil Wars.
(I’ll get back to that Nitty Gritty later today. Time for a break!)
Film Maker I met in Beverly Hills (and a couple of follow-up meetings since….) spreads infectious optimism about blockchain and provides advance “trailer” of Blockchain Documentary he is working on:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqyM5TqnUBM&feature=youtu.be
Sent to one of his small circles of contacts I instigated, in this email sent by him yesterday. He speaks to anyone and everyone about this, so now I assist him speaking to you:
“I would like to take a moment and get you all caught up as im now getting to take a breather myself as ive just been in the edit bay non stop for a few months now.
Re-capping, Ive now attended.
– Master Mind event Tai Lopez house in Beverly Hills…..in February…( met ……..(he means ME) …….. there and I still frequent their private social channel)
– Puerto Rico Crypto week long 4 different events thousands of people non stop meetings day and night. 1 day had 24 ICO pitches in a competition where they won CASH. ( Eyes were opened to this. This is far bigger and more complex than I originally thought with greater opportunities)
– Crypto Conference in DownTown LA 2 day event about 600 attendance this gave me access to people in LA showing me whats going on locally. Several people from SF, Puerto Rico and various countries attended to speak and educate along with some ICO pitches.
– BlockChain Summit in LA at Convertion Center 2 days and 1 night event. 4,500 in attendance. 150 booths of BlockChain Companies displaying what they have to offer and their respective ICOs and a ton of speakers for days on everything one could come up with.
– A good 8 small meetups with various people in LA and Camarillo sizes of 20 and less covering various things on BlockChain.
I now have a small team that we support one another in order to stay up and have information to bounce off one another as we seem to have similar interest and we invest in similar things at about similar amounts of money so we have trust with one another.
We also team up when I work on shooting my Documentary attending conferences together when possible.
I have been shooting a Documentary on BlockChain and its growth for a few months now and the reason for this project is.
1. An Instant way to make friends and get behind the scenes diving into how are these ICOs and BlockChain companies doing what they are doing. Anything I wish to learn myself and understand to apply to my work. I can use the camera and my “DOC” to get deep depth inside answers.
2. The potential to align myself with some of these more successful companies is strong as I spend more and more time with them. Its very possibly that I team up with someone or multiples in order to either build out my goals, or help them improve theirs.
3. Everybody wants to be on camera from the small companies to the BIG ones. They want to be on camera for so many reasons.
4. I get into these more expensive events for FREE as ” media ”
5. I own all the gear this is not only easy for me I like doing this so its only kind of like work.
6. I might have good content on a company that takes off before they take off.
7. The Documentary can potentially bring in money down the line.
8. The opportunists that are slowly growing are significant. Its possible I shoot 2 more Documentaries if any of these companies pay for it.
9. I can buy these tokens privately form these companies as I gain direct access to them, potential investments. Example I interviewed this one company strange name yes but Ive seen them at the Puerto Rico Event and in LA and they seem to only be growing and they are active and they are aggressive and they had the biggest physical team turn out and they had girls on the floor promoting them. I mean on every level they just seem to be pushing hard. And then I interviewed 2 of their members and im impressed with their approach I just invested $320 into their ICO its not much I understand but that gave me 2,500 tokens.
Im not saying you guys should do this. Im just updating you on what im doing and what made me do it. If i loose it all i can live with that. Im doing this to educate myself on their process. If forces me to keep up and keep tabs on thier growth and process. If im wrong im ok. If im right then ill take that pattern i saw in them and apply it down the line somewhat.
I feel the same way about HASHGRAPH it just had a decent presence at the LA summit Convention.
Moving on.
I am about 80% done with my Doc.
I need maybe 2 more days of a conference in shooting some more interviews.
I need to shoot possibly a few days out in the streets
and another 2 months in post and ill be done ready for release.
My plan on this 1st movie is
Create an EOS token for the movie. My very own SMART Contract Token. And GIVE AWAY tokens for free, yes free everyone loves when they get free stuff and I wish to stay off the SEC radar while they do these regulation things. I will conduct a case study on this entire process. If successful I get to prove CRYPTO WORKS for movies and here’s why… If successful I will have a use case study and 100% of the experience on how and why it works. What we can do with this knowledge and how to we can take better steps into protecting video and even music content into the future.
To protect movies and music with the blockchain is a HUGE deal. I can see this as a conversation piece to getting that process looked at. ( I am well aware people are working on this, all im saying is I wish to say IVE DONE IT)
So the utility token use is in order to stream the movie and only have the ability to stream it and or download it by form of simple registration.
At this time I plan to give away 250 tokens to every single person whom participated in the movie in order for them to give away to their supporters, members of their circles, investors, and anybody whom they wish to give the tokens to. I feel there will be around 75 people involved with the movie when done that Ill give tokens away to directly. Then ill also give away tokens to anybody but in smaller amounts.
How many tokens it will take to download the movie versus just stream it is still to be determined.
The idea is. If i can build this, If i can pull this off. I will have the direct data over what works, how it works and I can take that data and crunch it as deemed fit.
This can become very very attractive to companies like Hulu, Vimeo, and any other streaming service that can benefit from such data.
Once i finish this process. I will have gone through the experience and that to me is the best knowledge to how blockchain works and how i can use it down the line to my benefit on my next movie and or endeavor.
Here is a link to the Trailer.
Its just a sample 4 min clip.
the font is all wrong the timing is not correct, the words on screen will be changed the duration of the words will be different the graphics will be fixed.
THIS IS JUST A SAMPLE.
I’m currently shopping this around to raise finishing funds so I can get it done quick get it launched and move onto the next project.
Well that’s about it guys.
Thanks! ”
If anyone in the worldwide Vineyard of Saker Community wants to connect with this Crytpo Film Maker contact of mine ….on a serious, serious level…….we could do that, probably. With a little back and forth first. Here or through Amarynth, if she’s available for such introductions.
I can do it! If there is value for us ordinary humans.
For the longer term stuff Bro, I’ve copied it over here:

Btw, Amarynth, I noticed you included links to shrimpy.io in your latest blog on cryptos. Have you tried their service? Any opinions on that?
I have not tried it, neither am I planning to Mujo. It was the content of the article that I was more interested in.
I took some time to look into the Blockstack Browser which is based upon the Bitcoin blockchain. I did so, not for the sake of crypto-currency but for secure data transactions of a non-monetary nature. I was successful in getting a functional node and client running but was Astonished at the lack of privacy when using the Bitcoin blockchain -at least as it applies when used in conjunction with the Blockstack Browser.
Being new to the technology, I definitely perceive a battle for blockchain dominance going on.
Bitcoin seems to be putting a lot of PR polish on their blockchain and, undoubtedly, has some high-powered financial backers. I’m not saying it’s a good thing. It’s just a observation.
I am interested in block chain tech as related to song publication.
I vote thumbs up on this too, lasttruebeliever, and thank anyone in advance.
For music, this is a good start – an Imogen Heap initiative. There are more, but the technology it is young and one will have to watch and check what actually survives the first crazy rush to make something of it. I’ll take a look at music and where the technology is and write something about it.

@ Bro
Thanks much for this introduction. I watched the advance trailer for the film and it looks quite promising. I also dialed up the director’s bio via IMDB and he clearly has a lot of experience in the biz.
Here, I should probably interject that for some years now my own primary interest has revolved around the film business. Mostly in the research sector, though, not production. Cryptos have been a kind of side interest that has grown over the past 18 months, especially after I started reading about them more heavily last year. The tech side of cryptos has been familiar thanks to some decades of prior experience in the IT biz.
From my perspective, then, this documentary is a pretty exciting project, bringing together blockchain tech and independent cinema. The system of film distribution in particular could certainly use more than a little “creative destruction”.
I’m not sure what I could contribute to this, but please keep us posted on how the documentary is coming along and when/how we can see it in completed form.
Absolutely, Mujo. It may come to putting you directly in touch.
I like film, but maybe in the next life! Too much on my plate already even to watch the amount I would like to watch, let alone be involved in any way shape or form in the creative process….other than my association with this fellow Southern Californian…(providing him a great business mentor….casting a wider net for people like you.for him…and the process in general, anywhere, in any form…like music….) that is doing it.
Last true believer and Internal Exile USA: I don’t exactly know how it might transform music to “decentralize”.it All I know is that it just might have something to do (ya think??) with how film will be altered….and hopefully dramatically improved. LOL. And I am just in the beginning stages of opening that door and stepping into that film maker’s world….one or two steps.
We’ll find out!
I was just daydreaming… You want to download/own my song, you have to pay me five cents in bitcoin… some kind of media player/download site protected by blockchain. If songs are ones and zeros in the digital realm, how are they any different than the few lines of text code that make a bitcoin “wallet”? Some kind of media player that compensated (in a tiny way, like “song royalties”… cents on the dollar) the people that actually create the music. Just having a little fun…Coders, write this kind of thing and people like me will pay you for it. Up a lazy river, how happy we could be… ;)
Israeli influence of US politics…
I’ve been following BMB for some years now as she provides an interesting perspective on geopolitics from a religious perspective.
Her recent post at…
https://02varvara.wordpress.com/2018/05/08/8-may-2018-bibi-gets-vip-invite-to-v-day-shindig-at-the-centre/
…has some correctness and some incorrectness.
The incorrectness…
“Israel …. doesn’t control the American foreign policy in any way, shape, or form. …. the fact that Israel spends much time and money on spinning the Middle East situation and suborning American politicians doesn’t mean that it controls what Washington does .… which means that Israel can buy off US pols, but that doesn’t mean that Israel controls the policy apparat).”
BMD is a political voice who, for whatever reason(s), demonstrates disinterest in two-way communication. Since she disagrees with a Saker viewpoint, I think this is an appropriate venue for discussing it.
As a US citizen, I am of the justified opinion that US foreign policy is near completely controlled by the Netanyahu regime -only because the loyalty of the US Congress is for sale and has been sold. My legislators are political and legislative prostitutes who do what the highest bidder tells them to do.
I hope you will read her full post as some of what she stated is correct and reasonable.
Yes, of course some is correct and reasonable.
This however, the core of the matter, is not only incorrect, but also not reasonable.
“The so-called “Anglo-Zionist Empire” touted by “The Saker” doesn’t exist. It never has… it doesn’t… it won’t. At most, Israel allows the USA to use it as a strategic asset in the Middle East… the Mossad cooperates with the CIA, neither controls the other.”
What really got my attention, is the dig at The Saker. The Saker is not the only one that knows about the Anglo-Zionist Empire. In fact, it has been widely written about and discussed even before (and long before) The Saker coined the term Ziocon. So , just that bit there made me clearly understand what is going on here.
Where did I get this from? Here?

Though personally, I think the British Israelites and the Vatican (“setting up the Jews for a fall”,as Dennis so proudly and confidently assured us…..}.. are the preeminent masters of AZ mind control, not Whiny Nutty.
As we have seen, it doesn’t matter what you think.
If there’s one thing I’ve come to believe, it is that what you Think is Very important and perhaps, the Most important.
What other explanation can one give for the battle being waged over our minds and thoughts, the battle being waged by main-stream media with it’s false narratives versus the figurative handful of truth tellers.
Hold on to your truth. It is more important than you know.

Israeli Contestant Gains Victory in 2018 Eurovision Song Contest (VIDEO)
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201805131064402048-eurovision-israel-victory-netta0barzilai/
“Her victory means that the next Eurovision in 2019 will be held in Israel.
“Next time in Jerusalem!” “I’m so happy!”
Now is a very good time for the BDS movement to crank up the pressure.
The sheer, crappy, tacky awfulness of that ‘contest’ is perfectly encapsulated in the ‘winner.’
I haven’t watched a Eurovison since the tinfoil-hat-discobot-padded-cell-escapee ‘ won’ for Ukraine.
I recall the ‘music’ sounded like fight between a gaggle of Tellytubbies in a tin bath.
Seems to have been an omen of what was to come.

I’d weep for them more if they weren’t so damned smug. You could test your sociopathy with that article, on how much of a visceral reaction you get to the degradation and cheapening of the human body… in the face of a behavior that is so outright/ridiculously/insanely satanic.
Note the way the New York Times eases you into the attitude that this is something edgy and somewhat normal… their usual M.O. — their writers are not just paid but trained to create interest and buzz in remarkable things. However, the rich Bay Area Youth and the kind of people who hype Burning Man have been huge pioneers in this behavior. I remember the first time I met someone who’d also been to the ‘man (I’ve been… wretched experience, don’t ask) who’d seen a guy with devil horns implants. I was in 1999, and I was shocked but not surprised. I’d lived around SF in the nineties and they do this by degrees, like making you feel weird for being “straight” or having morals of any kind (making money is of course just great).
There’s an attitude in a lot of this of forcing inwardly normal and basically decent people to confront this sort of thing and be proven “uncool” when they don’t accept it. That’s one of the great gifts of middle age: You can become free from the childish idea of having to be cool. And once you’re free you can never go back. I was blind and now…
People wonder why Orthodox Christianity is discussed by recovering deists and rock n’ rollers and agnostics around here? Some were born into the faith; others find solace and lightbulbs going off in a system with beliefs and analytic methods that truly work and make sense. Real Christianity, even for us poor souls born into the Sick West, is among other things an indispensable tool for freeing oneself from the nightmares of the modern world. Western lit teaches that Christ was just one more messianic prophet of the day, but if you read the NT, you’ll find that just as no one could make up the idiocy of today, no one 2,000 years ago could have imagined, much less “invented”, J.C. [Not to mention breaking bread with the “tax collectors” and prostitutes and all kinds of sinners — in Pharisee land, simply “not done”].
I believe J.C. said something about the people who harm the little ones, i.e. the young, in this or any other way. It could also be said about the grown-ups who convince the kids to do it to themselves. Implants, doctors, shrinks, ad infinitum. Sick West.
From making it absolutely cool for everyone under thirty to cover themselves with meaningless tattoo’s, to forcing amphetamines and anti-depressents on everyone from teenagers to the senile, to this. “Rolling to the bottom” as Neil Young would say. The elites of course love this sort of thing. See also Adam’s vivid post below. Hold on tight, the seas are getting rough. Sorry for the rant, the flippancy of it all makes me sick.
Someone’s waking up :
https://ghionjournal.com/potemkin-society/
Yes, a good piece. We have a long way to go though as even Saker is only starting to open his eyes.
Yes, here is a short line : ” Alas, instead of saying enough, reclaiming our sovereignty and standing up for our dignity, too many of us keep fawning over stars and going gaga over media personalities. This is the tragedy of humanity, the oppressed have a way of deifying their oppressors. As the plutocracy and their paid puppets in the media-politico complex lead lives of royalty, the rest of us are being grounded into a pulp by economic anxieties. ”
Does this reality being perceived by a few ? the cats of today have no voices because of other cats who made their other choices, favoring “His Master’s Voice” !

Silencing Assange an ‘Attack on Information’ – Danny Glover
https://sputniknews.com/analysis/201804061063262086-silencing-assange-attack-information/
“It’s part of the attack on information,” Glover told show hosts Garland Nixon and Lee Stranahan. “It’s part of the attack on something that was revealed… something that revealed what is happening in life… we are so disengaged.”
“It’s an attack to not only silence him, but to also silence us,” he added.
Assange is an example of what happens to truth-seekers who take alternative routes to sharing information.
“This is what happens to you when you step outside of the boundaries,” the 71-year-old explained, “the acceptable boundaries of how information is collected and who or what information is distributed and given to people.”
Though critics of the Hollywood scene have urged celebrities to steer clear of politics, Glover stated that as long as he has a voice, he isn’t planning on backing down and watching from the sidelines.
“Because there is a voice that I have and ideas, feelings that I have, and they often coincide with others… I feel it’s my responsibility to share things,” he noted. “You’re not going to tell me what I’m going to say or who I’m going to talk to.”
At the end of the day, Glover told the hosts, he “roots for the value of having news as a source of information that allows me to be a responsible citizen.”
‘They’re trying to kill him’: Pamela Anderson wants Kanye’s help to free Assange
https://www.rt.com/usa/426524-pamela-anderson-kanye-letter/
“Cooped up in the confines of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, the WikiLeaks founder has not set foot outside out of fear that he could be extradited to the US. Amidst all this, the UN has found that Assange’s years inside the embassy amount to arbitrary detention.
Former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson has been an unlikely ally for the Australian recently, and, in an open letter published online, the Canadian actress pleaded with fellow celebrity Kanye West for help in bringing Assange to freedom.
It comes more than 40 days after the Ecuadorian Embassy blocked Julian Assange’s internet access.
In a short message to the Yeezus album hitmaker, Anderson accuses the US government of trying to torture and kill the WikiLeaks founder. She also suggests that Kanye West become a “brave voice” and speak publicly about Assange’s work in “exposing governments.”
“Hi Kanye,” the letter opens. “Hope you are well. I was wondering about your thoughts on Julian Assange. I support him and I know you value free speech. Visibility is good for him in America where they are trying to put him away for life or worse for exposing corruption in governments. I think they are trying to kill him. It is torture.”
The correspondence continues: “He’s been locked in a small room for almost 6 years in London at the Ecuadorian Embassy. And he now can have no visitors. No phone calls or internet. They are squeezing him. He is genius. A real world leader that young people love. So I want to seek more voices and share more about his fight. Public support could set him free.”
The US government has been coy about whether charges against Assange are being pursued in relation to leaked government documents, such as the Chelsea Manning files, which were published by his organisation. US Attorney General Jeff Sessions has said that arresting Assange is a “priority.”
Ecuador Prepares to Hand Julian Assange Over to UK, US – Reports
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201805131064408882-ecuador-assange-report/
“Remarks made earlier this week by Ecuador’s Foreign Minister Maria Fernanda Espinosa suggest that her government may be depriving Assange of the political asylum it granted him in in 2012 and hand him over to British and then US authorities, the World Socialist Website wrote on Saturday.
In an interview on Wednesday, Espinosa said that the Ecuadorian government and Britain “have the intention and the interest that this be resolved.”
She added that the two sides were working to reach a “definite agreement” on Assange.”
The betrayal of Assange by the israeloamerican colonial regime in Ecuador should be a message to the people of Ecuador what their fate will be in the hands of these quislings.
” …hand him over to British and then US authorities …” – I’m curious when and how will happen and the reactions by the famous freedom fighters, aka the chess-players.
I don’t have the time to be a Q Anon decoder any more than I had time to decode the Sargeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover beyond suspecting that Alister Crowley’s presence there boded no good.
Still, it would be irresponsible, given the magnitude (We are at the “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” stage of Qmania…ground floor, guys!) of what Beetlemania became or Qmania (I speak of the religious fervor here, draped in the Red, White and Blue…….God Bless Them Deplorables…..LOL) could become given the crypto-like trajectory of it all (straight up, or crashing down??).
But out of the corner of my eye I do note things like this, from Katie, a jolly good natured Deplorable if there ever was one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhGG_oIrsCw&authuser=0
“QAnon: China, Russia, and Others Coordinating with POTUS to Eliminate NWO???” the opening frame of her video says.
Whether you dismiss the idea as 100% absurd right out of the gate…or hope there is some truth to it…..either way!….is it not significant that large numbers of people who in the eighties, ninetiies and maybe even the 2000, 2004, 2008 elections voted for GHW Bush (or Dukakis) Bill Clinton, John McCain, the weird Mormon, Dubya, Obomber.etc,etc ….. are EVEN hoping such a thing???
Dismiss them as deluded, perhaps, but I would not dismiss them (or anyone sympathetic to Russia) as potential allies.
Now, my oldest sister DOES have the time to follow Q Anon and I consider this reply to my introducing her to Down Home Katie fairly astute and not exactly “low brow”:
“good one!…..the main one, Corsi who is backed by a loose group on We The People PATRIOTS SOAPBOX 24/7 Livestream, I’ve been following has gone sourish so I’m looking for width and depth on the Q front.. I’ve learned a lot from Corsi who personally knows many of the main players both ‘white’ and ‘black’ hats and has brought in a lot of ‘history’.. he has a number of books including his new one Killing the Deep State… that are ‘good’.. and he’s supposedly spent a lifetime exposing the deep state and the Clintons and supposedly was pointed to Q and asked to help decode Q about the time he finished his Killing the Deep State.. he’s now very diverted by promoting the book which he sees as one more ‘red pill’ to be used… all well and good.. but he also takes a lot very personally.. almost laughably proposing to ‘duke it out in the alley’ (very overweight 71 year old) with a growing slew of ‘black hats’ but more and more any white hat who differs in opinion from him… and apparently goes into tweet storms that castigate Trump, Mueller, Comey, et al in no uncertain terms for different reasons as he gets more and more impatient.. the live stream patriots are also getting distracted and seem rudderless without Corsi who comes on for an hour or so most days.. then Corsi totally believes Netanyahu and ‘all’ the shit about Iran.. (I grant that some is probably ‘true’ in one manner or another)and now is counter productively ranting his frustration with everyone… sooo… Katie’s down home going back to really look at early drops… which Q keeps saying top reread.. is a breath of fresh air.. seeing as Corsi is concurrently going back and rereading his own work… i.e. articles HE wrote .. in other words he knows very intimately how the black hat deep state works but seems flummoxed by how the white hat deep state is moving under the radar and angry that they are telling him and the rest of us…”
Now if you are newer to this than I am, it’s going to get very entertaining.
Corsi is attached at the hip to Alex Jones and both have gone into “melt down mode” over Q in the last week or so.
The majority of INFOWARS is low brow popular appeal, I will grant you that. But Engdahl isn’t and they put him on, didn’t they?.So Mr Jones reaches millions with the low brow approach, let’s some better stuff through…..and seems caught up in his own…probably very compromised Ego, Carreer, and Finances.
Did much to stop Hillary…but every ego has its own minefield of egoic-self-interested banana peels to slip up on. LOL.
Then Sis comes up with this post which IMHO is more intelligent and sophisticated than much of what you will find on ANY site. Including Right Here, no???:
https://www.reddit.com/r/greatawakening/comments/8ia0vu/the_long_and_secret_info_wars_against_q_and_how/
Posted by SerialBrain2, and here’s how he starts out:
“The long and secret info wars against Q and how he stayed alive. You really need to know this and move on.
I promised there would be a follow up to [my post about Q1295]
(https://www.reddit.com/r/greatawakening/comments/8hqo5n/q1315_trumps_tweet_confirms_the_q_5_photo_puzzle/?st=jgz6twag&sh=0dceaa85) Be careful who you are following.
Here it is. It’s a long post but if you are a Q follower, this information is worth knowing.
As many among you already know, Dr. Corsi is just the tip of the iceberg. There are dark forces at work trying to divide us and hijack Q’s work and our Movement. I will show you today who these dark forces are and how they are related to Dr. Corsi.
To those who think this issue should be put to rest for the sake of unity, this is my response:
if Q himself has spoken about it [here] (https://8ch.net/qresearch/res/1233188.html#1233458) after having put up with these dark forces trying to undermine him for months, he must have some kind of intel pushing him to react;
A glass of fine wine mixed with water is no longer fine wine and is certainly not water;
When a snake enters the house, there is no time for poetry: you secure the kids, close the doors and do what you have to do.
The Truth has a price my friends and no strong movement in human history has succeeded avoiding the issues challenging its foundations. Roses are beautiful, but they come with thorns. To be safe, we need to know how to hold them. This is why we are here today. We owe it to Trump, we owe it to Q, we owe it to the patriots who have sacrificed their lives for True Freedom, we owe it to ourselves for our efforts to not go to waste and above all, we owe it to the abused children whose lives, safety and freedom depend on the success of our Movement. Isn’t this the ultimate reason we are all here?
Let’s get to it.”
Now I put we owe it to the abused children whose lives, safety and freedom depend on the success of our Movement in bold because the pedophilia as a means of blackmail control by the Zionists and Rothschilds and the whole Luceferian Cabal is kind of the litmus test, IMHO. Almost as much as 911 which seems harder for Deploarbles to get up in arms about with real clarity and endurance of resolve….compared to the simpoler issue of The Children.
I mean, if Trump screwed little kids on Epsteins Island it may ultimately not matter who one in 2016.
But if he didn’t, and unlike Vladimir Putin, has yet to secure the security apoparatus of the USGOV….we may have to give him a little more time.
And , much as I dislike the Kabuki Thaeter in regard to either Korea or Syria…..the idea that McCain was pleased to endorse the last US missile strikes in Syria….until he found out that assets of his Deep State friends were struck…..when he went silent……IF TRUE…..says…..”Keep your powder dry….be on guard Russia, China, Iran ,Syria, etc……..but let’s let the dust settle on this internal US struggle….until some clearer outlines of who is doing what emerge from this fog.

I’ve seen Blessed to Teach before once or twice. He starts right off with where Sis’s Serial Brain 2 ended……..this one starts off with:
Beyond Corsi….Class Action Suit! (Against Zuckerface) Wow…who can be against THAT???…but got to make a living though (just like Corsi and Alex Jones….LOL) and keep up on training videos so I will delegate this Zuckerface one to Sis to watch and report back……. keine zeit….nyet vreminye delegate, delegate, delegate…………
They’re eating one another. It looks to me time hide the young before the young gets eaten lol. And all of this can be clearly understood in hard and pragmatic business terms. Both groups are going for the same ‘information consumer’ and the main ‘product’ is ‘secret access’. If you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail eh. There is a lot of hammering going on Much better at least imv to stand aside and not spend any energy. Who told us that secrecy is repugnant in our society today?
True.
Here is how Jordan was “used” by Infowars….in his own relaxed words…he’s cool, IMHO:

Year 2018. Location US, West Coast, High Country
Situation: the high rents to low wages continues at a pace.
The outcome: The woods are alive with American Economic Refugees. The numbers are growing. The high country is not a place to learn your camping skills, off the bat. This is a real land and death and harm can come from ignorance and folly
The winter of 18, was hard. There is nowhere to go. It is the winter that gets you. From Reno To Down the Line in High Country, just like in the streets of LA, the Demoralized, broke and Desperate – flee to. Perhaps it is said well – (IT is better to Die in the Woods then in city street)
The young, the old the middled age, it is already Mad Max here. The attrition rate is brutal, the learning curve is brutal to survive. This year woman froze to death in her Trailer – not far from me. She was old, to sick get to her feet…door blew open, and she froze to the floor crawling for the door
The Children cry for homes, and their are none, elders make nests in RV’s – many die from cold or hunger
American Refugees do not understand any more than any city hopper from around the world how to pull the seasons, how to survive: gear, knowledge and mental capacity – to hold together. How do I know this: I am 7 years out now— one more bad turn of the wheel and the number could more than triple over night —-
Disappear, Forlornness, Anxiety, Hopelessness – rips across the American Psychological Landscape and then Rage, Hate, Contempt and a Bitterness that will put the Russians into a state of Love for the Times they have seen and the writers who came out of them..

In the USA we can call to the Russian Writers now
It is not life that must change for us, but we who must change with life
Not exactly a Russian writer, but perhaps Pynchon’s Vineland began to imagine the hell that you describe.
Set in the misty redwood forests of Northern California circa 1990, it explores the last refuge of the children of the 1960s, disillusioned by the waning season of politics, beaten down by a “fascistic Nixonian repression” of the Reagan years, they hide out amidst the mary-jo-wana fields and dream of earlier days. But now the Bay Area money, errant G-men, and their old ghosts are suddenly circling ever closing.
“The Heat,” as W. S. Burroughs would say, “was closing in.”
In the ’60s, during the height of the hippie era, the fictive College of the Surf seceded from the United States and became its own nation of hippies and dope smokers, called the People’s Republic of Rock and Roll (PR³).

I had heard that St Patrick stamped out the snakes in Ireland.
Apparently, they made a HUGE comeback. LOL.
LIKE Putin (until his recent meeting with Bibi) there are more myths about Patrick than fact. I generally give his grave a miss but stop off at the gaol to pay deepest respects to Thomas Russell (buried 100 yards away) every time I visit.
You’ll need to engage someone else if you ever wish a welcome to Ireland though.
