John Helmer has a very detailed analysis of the Yulia Skripal MI6 London garden party.
http://johnhelmer.net/yulia-skripals-postscript-what-did-she-write-and-what-didnt-she-say-in-the-london-garden-event-plus-the-neurology-evidence/
Any further comments/conclusions Sushi?
Another MI6 scripted video, straight from the state funded russophobe outlet -just to keep the vilification pot warm. I detect some admirably deceptive statements plus outright lies. The “organophospate poisoning mentioned I could buy; ‘Novichok’ and only 3 cases, forget it. How fortunate that Porton Down knew exactly what it was so quickly when ‘only russia’ possessed it.
Skripals doctor: ‘We expected them not to survive’
http://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-44284480/skripals-doctor-we-expected-them-not-to-survive
“Organophosphates are one of the most common causes of poisoning worldwide.[2] There are nearly 3 million poisonings per year resulting in two hundred thousand deaths.[2][3] Around 15% of people who are poisoned die as a result.[2] Organophosphate poisoning has been reported at least since 1962”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organophosphate_poisoning
…..the impression I had reading “this ” from bbc was that quite a bit of time passed before hospital staff were informed Skripal was -is!- a spy and only a type of nerve agent could be involved after yes after Nick Bailey became ill and in for treatment…..and oh so thankful Porton Down being down the road…….as VVP said…a military grade nerve agent would have killed them in couple minutes at the outside………
Digging themselves in deeper -read between the lines on this one:
https://www.rt.com/uk/428178-medics-treated-skripals-opioids/
“While the Skripals were first admitted to the hospital on Sunday evening, it was not until Tuesday that doctors realized they were seeing “symptoms typical of organophosphate” or nerve agent poisoning, the BBC investigation claims. ”
Quite aside from the ‘Novichok’ hoax there are 3 miilion ‘nerve agent’ poisonings and 200,000 deaths per year. Odd that this is never mentioned or that those organophosphates are in common usage.
About the symptoms and the poisons… here’s a slanted agitprop article from California
http://www.sacbee.com/news/state/california/article212103299.html

Note zero P in molecule, yet data says symptoms like organophosphates.

30.05.2018 – Embassy Press Officer’s reply to a media question concerning the statements of British medics on the treatment of Sergei and Yulia Skripal
“Question: How could you comment on the statements of the Salisbury District Hospital staff on BBC “Newsnight” concerning the clinical care provided for Sergei and Yulia Skripal? Answer: We have carefully studied the statements of the British medical staff who treated Sergei and Yulia Skripal. Unfortunately, they have still not provided any answers to our questions. We have to note yet again that the Embassy is learning the details of the treatment of the two Russian citizens from media reports and not from British authorities, despite having filed many official requests; not to mention that this is happening almost three months since the incident. Moreover, the question about the use of antidote in the treatment previously raised with British authorities remains unanswered – the medics carefully walked around it saying only that they had used “combinations of drugs” and received advice from the Porton Down secret chemical weapons laboratory.”

John Gaunt certainly has a way with words:
“They seem to have forgotten that the relationship between a journalist and a politician should be that of a dog and a lamppost!”
https://sputniknews.com/columnists/201805251064816845-uk-skripal-hoax/
Ok! Now I understand the usage of term “leaks”! The lamp-post is a source of information, if you have a nose, and of course a locus to leave message and opinion. Term Leak is very apt.
I note that the leaks, the “fluids”, tend to promote corrosion at the base bolts and fixtures supporting said post. And that often-times pols mount campaigns to paint over the corroded parts.
Is truism – write it on the wall in the john?
Maybe the john at the court-house…
That’s good…very good, thanks for opening your imagination. A lamppost could be famous if…An old joke sounds like this : You know what is the apogee of human speed ? to run so fast around a lamppost until you can kick yourself in the ass… well, it’s an old joke but for those who never heard it, it’s still new.

I just finished the last cafe at 111 comments. I am feeling disgusted, even sick to my stomach. Why? Because of Bro’s link to a video about Humaniq, the biggest pile of BS and lies that I ever seen so slickly (sickly) packaged for suckers taken in by the Empire. In other words, psy-ops brainwashing and heart-hardening at its worst. It was painful to watch and smell, even if I held my nose.
I have to speak against this threat to everything we supposedly stand for at this Vineyard. It is no accident that on this fateful day, a third element is being added to the Saker Vineyard by Amarynth, in addition to the Main Page and Cafe. Despite claims to the contrary, it appears to me that the new project will have the effect of diminishing the Cafe’s effectiveness in actually building community. Think of it. A cooperative is a commercial enterprise. In empire lingo, it’s a “divide and conquer” strategy to marginalize the Cafe. I have read the Saker’s article twice and Amarynth’s once but am not persuaded of the project’s value; however, I reserve further evaluation until I see how it actually operates. As usual, this is my opinion which could be wrong.
If I would ever get involved in such a project, it would be as devil’s advocate, in the old sense of arguing against the canonization of proposed sainthood. The term has now been corrupted to something different. My purpose would be SOS, Save Our Saker. This Vineyard and Cafe now desperately needs an alternative view such as mine, because I appear to be the last one standing in the defense of a Russia portrayed by the “last one standing” idea. Auslander’s book is what I have in mind; I tried to buy it in hard copy but had no luck.
The ball is now in your court; meaning this community. This is your chance to put pressure on the Saker to have me removed. If I stay, I will be a gentleman who minds his manners, follows the guidelines, is courteous and respectful and speaks the truth as I see it. My disclosure is that I also am a Dennis the Menace and Leary the Lepretard, according to Bro 93.
Bro’s link to Humaniq really got my Irish up. The Empire, and mortal enemy of Russia and Humanity, always signals what it is up to, and its Humaniq project is not an exception. Immediately I was hit and struck in the gut by the emotional resonance of the word “humaniq,” which feels like “human-ick,” and is pronounced that way. Ick, icky, sick, sickly, sticky” is what hit me in the gut and made me feel slightly sick.
The Empire is telling us upfront by that word that it hates humanity; human beings make the rulers and bosses sick of the deplorables and useless eaters, who for them are slaves still; in other words we are ick or icky. But all that truth is covered over by lies, and propagated by the best con-artists that money can buy. I can see, hear and feel it but apparently I’m the only one here, and possibly on the planet who sees the underlying justice-architecture of the problem and its solution in its totality and universality. I attribute my understanding and feelings, such as they are, to the Love Government, Army and Bower, as summed up in the Ten New Commandments of Love.
I have great hopes for this Vineyard. Hope is the weakest of the virtues and can be destroyed by sophisticated psy-ops, even here. Pandora means “all gifts,” hope being the last. Dante said of hell’s gate: “give up hope here.” I rely on my experience, reason, faith and intuition. They all tell me that even if I’m wrong, I must sing my song. What better place to sing it than in a Cafe Vineyard?
I’m not going to explain “now” why I think Humaniq is an Empire, Deep State, Intelligence and Swamp Project. I’ll get around to it if, after this disclosure, fore-warning and cautioning, I am still around. I hope I am, but as I said, hope is ephemeral unless solidly grounded in love. I want to get this post in the mail post-haste, since time is of the essence in matters of law and love. If this post does not appear, I’ll get the message. Thanks.
Love, Dennis
Leary, The Lip
Brother Leary the Irish Lip
Shoots threes from Celtic hip;
Types a wicked crooked mile,
And always makes me smile!
So quick to mispronounce,
In such a hurry to denounce!
With him it’s always so subjective!
(Try to be ever so slightly more reflective..??.)
I don’t know the good people of Human-iq
But of pronunciation—I know a thing or two!
It (I.Q) can even be raised in old age , of course,
Just go on INFOWARS, order some Brain Force!
But Perhaps Raising Human IQ
Is not a decent thing to do?
Kenyans: You are commanded
To Remain on Savannah Stranded
Unconnected, Poor, Forgotten and Unbanked!
Praise Lord Leary! And the Vatican be thanked!
Oh, Dear Merciful Lord Above,
Can’t you just feel the Leary Love?
Dennis, of course I haven’t had the time to thoroughly research HMQ…..yes according to you dupes like the fellow from Belarus are serving the Empire by the video encouraging others around the world to help persons such as those Kenyans in the film (but link it Dennis…..people like to decide for themselves ….not “commanded” what to think by some Modern Day Celtic Moses putting up wild threes from Beyond Mid-Court…) oh, here it is:
https://youtu.be/cUU88lIx8uQ
Score an agapic assist to Bro 93, who Cavalierly helps an Old Celtic Who Slipped, Get Himself Up Off the Floor…….
Once again, you might be right! I haven’t had the time (Didn’t I say only watched part??? But saw enough to put it out there…..for our Uncommanded Peers…..To Decide For Themselves???
But NOOOO! Moses O’Leary Descends From the Mountain and breaks tablets all over the Vineyard and a new site I heard about but can’t yet Pass Final Judgment On….having only spent enough time to learn that Amarynth is evidently…….English.
Unlike you, Dennis I cannot yet pass judgment—-on many, many things….and hold them in suspension for further consideration. But “Off To The Races You Go!”
You beat me off the dribble again, and got to the Rim……..of Insanity. LOL.
If Humaniq is to be denounced because they start with a shot London UK…….beware of Nominalism, My Good Man (you have the tendency to fall into it) and know that I find London Paul……The Sirius Report…… quite reasonable and visited the site of Amarynth’s creation just long enough…about 5 minutes……. to learn that evidently…..She Is English!
They also feature Moscow and Minsk (one of their key players is Belorussian) and quite candidly….in my quick preview I saw no devilish plots of the sort that torment your brain today.
They may be there. But I see NOTHING in your methodology above that convinces yet, but rather, au contraire a lot of launching up of Celtic Bricks From Beyond Mid-Court….that just look embarrassing! So Wide of the Mark Are Those Bricks You’ve Been Desperately Launching!
Oh, don’t worry Vineyard Visitors, Brother Leary and I have Gone Many A Brotherly Love Round ….and It’s All Good and Scrappy……my name is even Irish, and there’s another wee Irish Mouse (Anonymouse) that Joins us Occasionally for A Good Old Irish Argument in the Vineyard Pub….er, Café….and we are dearly looking for a Fourth….because you know what follows when Four Irish Get Together, right???
A Fifth!
Cheers! Bottom’s Up!
For the Many Metric Minions of Moscow, Minsk and Beyond Who Inhabit the Earth and can’t understand the Method or Madness of feet, inches, yards, pints, quarts, gallons, pounds, tons, ounces …..(and all the rest….) of the English Speaking World …...or my jocular above attempt to lighten the extremely dark,.desperate, menacing mood emanating from Tomah. Wisconsin……. a bit of explanation from http://www.culinarylore.com:
“How Much is a Fifth of Whiskey?
When we go to buy a “fifth of whiskey” we are actually, today, buying a bottle that contains 750ml of liquid. We Americans, of course, will want to know how many ounces in a fifth. 750 milliliters is just about 25.4 ounces. This amount is the same as a standard wine bottle.
The term fifth, however comes from when bottles were 4/5 of a quart, which is the same as 1/5 of a gallon.
Why do We Still Use the Term Fifth?
We no longer measure bottle sizes by fractions of a pint or gallon, and the term fifth may be archaic. However, 1/5 gallon, or 4/5 quart is 25.6 ounces, which is so very close to 750ml (25.4oz) that we still use the term fifth to describe this size bottle.”
It’s the same in Ireland as in Boston. Literally. Hence the Boston Celtics…..
Got it, Mate? Jolly Good! To your health!
An dtuigeann tú? Dea-mhaith! Ar Sláinte! (Google Translate, Don’t Fail me Now! AND ….Where’s Google Pronounce?? The above does NOT seem very possible to utter correctly….LOL)
Вы понимаете?? Xорошо! На Здоровье!
Thanks for your reply. I enjoyed your poem: “Leary, the Lip.” I like the rhetorical flourishes, and even the ad hominems; however, I think we should not forget facts and logic. If you had watched the whole video about Humaniq, you would have noticed that its promoters all pronounce Humaniq as Human-ick. If they had meant HumanIQ, they would have written it that way, and pronounced it that way.
Please allow me to quote you. “So quick to mispronounce.” Pray tell me, what am I mispronouncing?
“But Perhaps Raising Human IQ / Is not a decent thing to do?” I suppose IQ can be raised by education somewhat, but isn’t IQ largely innate?
“Kenyans, You are commanded / To Remain on Savannah Stranded / Unconnected, Poor, Forgotten and Unbanked…” You allow your rhetoric to run over facts and logic. I have not commanded the Kenyans. If you are referring to the Ten Commandments of Love, I have always said that we free to take them or leave them. I advocate for being Connected to Nature, not to smart phones; I do not have a smart phone myself. I speak in favor of being Poor, in the sense of Jesus, who was born in a manger, and lived a simple life–but not for being impoverished. If they were not forced into poverty by Colonialism and Patriarchy before that, they could fend for themselves, thank you, and be much happier for it. Kenyans are hardly Forgotten by Empire, which is herding the Unbanked into Banks to join the rest of us, who are being prepared to accept chip implants and block-chains for our hands and feet, like the stocks of old, now morphed into “stocks and bonds.”
What is “HMQ?”
Twice you mention “decide for themselves.” I favor sovereignty but I don’t think smart phones, banks, bitcoins and “working on the railroad,” obor style, is in the freedom category; quite the opposite. Kenyans with an innate high IQ, or born into a rich family, or bought off with imperial money, or who have the stamina to “load sixteen tons” for a few years might “make it” a ways up the pyramid without selling their souls and bodies, but they would be rare.
“My name is even Irish.” Glad to hear it. But why not share it? You don’t like to be an “Anonymous,” or worse, an “Anonymouse,” but isn’t a pseudonym just one step removed?
I enjoyed your foray into “a fifth.” In an Irish pub, how much is in a pint of Guinness? Thanks for the translation of Irish; Russian is Greek to me. You raised a toast to my health, and I return the wish. The Cafe would not be the same without you, who sure have the Irish gift of gab and craic, you cryptic leprechaun, you. As for Amarynth / amarynth, and the new Saker.Community, I wait with bated breath for your pearls of wisdom when we “3”, amarynth, you and me, a sometime trinity, share a pint or two, or three, and dance a “jig for three” in a Saker community.
Cheers, Dennis
Count me in for the pint and the dancing but no free love stuff.
Hi. Good to hear from you. In my world, there is no “free love stuff.” My kind of love is tough (and tender), and comes with challenges and responsibilities. Despite my reservations about Saker.Community, I admire your intelligence and courage as editor of the new project. Excuse my impertinence, but your name is intriguing because of its association with Amarynth, the video game character, who, like us, is the product of a community of writers and artists. Cheers, and a toast to your health and success.
I have faint memories of Free Love…in a bar too! (Well, they locked the doors first…) There was a pool table…
I just watched…
1968? I heard that the cops got involved later on… It’s a nice idea, the Soviets promoted it early on, and then changed the line.

“Oh, don’t worry Vineyard Visitors, Brother Leary and I have Gone Many A Brotherly Love Round ….and It’s All Good and Scrappy……my name is even Irish, and there’s another wee Irish Mouse (Anonymouse) that Joins us Occasionally for A Good Old Irish Argument in the Vineyard Pub”
The slur floated through moderation policy point 2 in September 2017 and continues unabated:

“But what’s annoying is not only non-straight shooters with all kinds of inverted daft logic, but also dodgy targets. Today I coined a new term for them both: “Lepretards”.
Now one of those is my Cafe Soul Brother DL but the other is Anonymous. Actually, ANY Anonymous is an Honorary Lepretard.
“Tard” you know the etymology of. Why “Lepre”???
Ireland, obviously! They are both from Ireland!
Now many, many fine Irish lads and lassies are not Lepretards, not late to the party at all. OM for example.
I’m not Irish but my first name is. But that doesn’t make me a Lepretard. Also, you can be an Honorary Lepretard by exhibiting the mental habits of a Lepretard, and living not too far away from Ireland”
However, it’s nothing to do with Irish argument – this was Einstein recently /moveable-feast-cafe-2018-05-07/#comment-520645
“Meanwhile, I wore my Putin T Shirt for inauguration day in Russia and now it looks like I will be putting it back in an almost inaccessible corner of the closet where things hang on hangers unworn for years on end. LOL
And I thought I was fairly sure Vlad could be counted on to not disappoint. Looks like we may have to keep a good many judgments suspended for a good long while longer than most human stamina can endure.”
re Amarynth, apparently, we now know
“She Is English!”
Well, I have 50% English/Irish by birth location of parentage so feel confident keeping a close eye on both nations. Having said that, referring to Einstein again, grouping oneself by national identity does seem to be truly infantile.
Anyway, so long as your slurs continue and you bias toward the “exceptional” people of earth continue I will continue to observe you (and Dennis with his fondness for Trump and yourself for his embassy “mistake”) with distaste.
Dennis is not from Ireland (by direct parentage) and my name is my own.
PS:
In my opinion there is nothing inherently wrong with higher knowledge and/or IQ – it’s how you get it and what you do with it that counts (just like God, if that deity exists).
… ‘Dynamite Dennis’ is certainly back and blasting, … it’s common knowledge banks exist to “Help” and Banksters are such lovely, friendly people ; {}
(I wanted to fully capitalise Help)
I was under the impression everyone should be using Bitcoin very soon, then Banks and fiat money would disappear … ; {} … do you like my new symbol for LOL ??
You’ve Got to Pick a Pocket or Two (from: “Oliver!” – 1968)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VogHwP0C5VY
I like the symbol for “Laugh Out Loud,” if that’s what you mean. The curlycue brackets look like a human head with ears sticking out. I didn’t laugh out loud but I did chuckle. Now if only the banks would limit themselves to picking a pocket or two, rather picking apart whole nations, I would sing along with Oliver.
Dennis, the eyes are to the left same as ; ) … but I figured ; (the wink) and {} (real loud laugh) works better. I have just been viewing an Australian TV series called “The Chaser” but it is too loud and devious for this Cafe. In fact the program offends me politically many times, but there are some very funny moments. There is one about Americans … but I am not sure how you folks would react to it.
CNNNN Chaser on the Streets of America
Well Dennis, you are quick to criticize the Community Cooperative, Anonymous is right, you’re not Irish, you’re American, the fast spirit of taking out the gun at first…then ask. Don’t take it as offense but it is a pure fact according to your first reaction. Something else now from Ojai : Last year in late December it was a public hearing at the municipality in Ojai about the evictions, published on their web page (city web page) So, I thought that you should have been informed in right time what to do. I know, now is late for that but maybe you may still be there, if not in that place but in the area. Now you have to behave, it’s another thing, big family, etc. at least you’re safer I think.
Caring for and being with my elderly father in the wake of the passing of my mum, his wife of sixty years, I was reminded of Blake’s poem, “The Echoing Green”. Blake’s metaphor on human life – comparing the passing of a day with the passing of a human lifetime, is both simple and profound. My attention is drawn to the second last line, “…and sport no more seen, on the darkening green.” How careless we are in the immortality of youth, in the thrall of our power. Yet the “darkening green” brings a different perspective. Who else but Rumi, could say it so perfectly; “The tailor of your love cuts cloth that is precisely and uniquely for you.”
“The Echoing Green”
The sun does arise,
And make happy the skies.
The merry bells ring
To welcome the Spring.
The sky-lark and thrush,
The birds of the bush,
Sing louder around,
To the bells cheerful sound.
While our sports shall be seen
On the Echoing Green.
Old John, with white hair,
Does laugh away care,
Sitting under the oak,
Among the old folk,
They laugh at our play,
And soon they all say.
“Such, such were the joys,
When we all, girls and boys,
In our youth-time were seen,
On the Echoing Green.”
Till the little one’s weary
No more can be merry:
The sun does descend,
And our sports have an end.
Round the laps of their mothers
Many sisters and brothers,
Like birds in their nest,
Are ready for rest;
And sport no more seen
On the darkening Green.”
Pure and graceful Blake, with an aside from Rumi. Thanks. I always liked: “Tiger, tiger, burning bright in the forest of the night.” Sometimes words sing and dance, and are not soon forgotten. Jesus: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words shall not.”
Beautiful poem from Blake. I couldn’t be here in the last Cafe but appreciate your posts with “Where Does Love Go ?” , teranam13 “Uoops…” , vot tak’s “Look out Harley and BMW” ,then the Bankster’s poem with the wizard of OZ, and Lasttruebeliver’s “Hungry Man Blues” , the postings by Paul, Irrelevant, Kent and others !
Cheers, guys. Blake, misunderstood and reviled in his day, really has had the last laugh. His work has grown in power and relevence over the years. This is because at heart he concerned himself with man’s relationship to Spirit.
He who binds to himself a joy,
Does the winged life destroy.
Yet he who kisses the joy as it flies,
Lives in Eternity’s sunrise.
Dimitar, your words touch my heart, every time.
I’ve been called interstate, when my father had a stroke, May 14. He died a week later, having given me 24 hours to make our peace, then slipped into unconsciousness for four days. I’m now caring for my mother.
My father was 93 and mother is 89- they were true model New Australians as determined by the Anglo colonists, but they never knew who they were born to be.
Your Blake quote here is and has been for years, one of my chief mantras in life.
Blessings to You and all in the Saker community
Babuška, thank you for your kind words. And for sharing a part of your journey with your beloved parents. It was my parents that enabled my journey for which I’ll be forever grateful. My vocation – my mantra can be found at http://www.valenis.net, at the moment “vo miruvanje” – has put me in touch with that which I am. As a husband, a father of three young children, with a grieving parent to take care of, along with a business Ive inherited, Ive found Blake’s words to be true. The world evolves around this moment. Love imparts the vitality, the strength and the inspiration to continue. My mum had no fear of death. She understood that love was all that was necessary. If we could all understand this, then there would be more than enough for all of us. As Saker says, hugs and kisses, D.

I was homeless in Ojai for a few years; slept in the woods a couple of years and used the shelters to sleep in the winters, but had my motorhome for the days. I was blessed, in comparison with big city homeless, who are used by McMansion Minions to scare everyone, including themselves, from stepping out of line on the pyramid highway to oblivion.
… if I were homeless anywhere, there are places to survive and for me the street is not the place to be. The homeless could consider a commune in a run down town, becoming creative and with some comforts. The street is not comfortable and is dangerous. There are such places … I have visited many. City folk have narrow minds thinking the concrete jungle is theirs … we know who owns the infrastructure … and we know who owns the streets.
While I am not as worried as Dennis, and cannot express my thinking about the new community site as eloquently as he, I feel a mix of happiness that the Vineyard is growing (via the new community site) and puzzlement as to the best way to engage with this.
The cafe is a great place to exchange ideas, to the extent that it is often difficult to keep up! I find myself wishing for a way to see all the posts organized into threads. As it stand now, I find myself refreshing and scrolling through all the posts repeatedly, to try and follow many different threads and find the new additions. I’m thinking there must(?) be some sort of web app tech that could help with this. I.e., help us to follow and more easily engage with all the cafe chat :)
Hi. I prefer the democratic cafe format, whereby scrolling down chronologically, I am exposed to all writers; some I scroll on by, some I scan, some I read cursorily, some I read attentively and some I reply to. I’ll wait and see about the new Saker.Community, which seems to be more divided up into blocks of topics and forums. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose, but the commercialism light and growing divisions are worrisome, and may prove problematic.

Russia to Create New Electronic Warfare Systems After US Missiles Study – KRET
https://sputniknews.com/military/201805291064892605-russia-create-anti-tomahawk-electronics/
“The Syrian military found two unexploded Tomahawk missiles after a massive missile attack on Syria by the United States, Great Britain and France on April 14 and handed them over to Russia.
“On the basis of this experience [the missile strike by the Western coalition in Syria], technical tasks for new work are being prepared now. They will take into consideration all the information obtained to help us build prototypes of new electronic warfare systems,” Mikheev said.
“Having this missile in hand, we can clearly understand what channels of communication, information and control, navigation and range finding it has… And knowing all these parameters, we will be able to more effectively counter these cruise missiles at all stages of their combat deployment,” he stressed.
Speaking about the timeframe for the development of new systems, Mikheev noted that according to the requirements of the state as customer, a full development cycle on electronic warfare systems takes about 2-3 years and these prototypes will not be an exception.
KRET (Concern Radio-Electronic Technologies) is a holding company within the Russian state-owned Rostec group that develops and manufactures military spec radio-electronic, state identification, aviation and radio-electronic equipment, as well as a variety of civil products.”
Russia handed on Wednesday to Israel the Magach tank seized by the Syrian troops in 1982 during the First Lebanon War and exhibited in the Kubinka Tank Museum near Moscow.

The missile, delivered to Russia after the tri-party night attack on Syrian government targets by the US, the UK and France in April, is of particular interest to KRET, a leading developer of electronic equipment for the Russian military, according to Vladimir Mikheev, an aide to the company’s First Deputy Director Vladimir Zverev.
“Our new equipment needs to cover all spectra, optical and radio, which we found in the products of our counterparts,” Mikheev told Radio Sputnik.
“As specialists we were very interested in seeing the real-life use of various weapon systems in Syria, including the Tomahawks. Now having this missile in our hands we clearly know what channels it uses to communicate control, navigation and geolocation information,” he explained.
Mikheev said incorporating the knowledge gained from studying the US cruise missiles will take KRET two to three years. It will help Russian electronic warfare systems be better in countering American missiles “on all stages of combat deployment” he said.
Earlier reports claimed that Russia obtained at least two US missiles fired at Syria on April 14 in relatively undamaged state.”
The Sputnik article claimed KRET was studying 2 tomahawk missiles, this article clears up that error. It doesn’t say who is working on other captured missile, or what type it is. The Russians have been mum on this, using the well known intelligence tactic of what the israeloamericans/nato don’t know will drive them nuts. ;-D

Please I need an information and it’s very urgent. I have been trying to do a research on the US dollar, so my question is
1- how much does accrue to America when two nation make use of dollar in there foreign trade?
2- how much accrue to America on every transaction?
3- how much have they make since 1973 from petrodollar transaction?
Thanks guys, please do help out.
There is no literal tax of fee on posessing or using USD.
What does happen is that when the USD is used, it creates a demand for USD.
The USD has exchange rates determined by markets for other currencies. Thus, if you have say Euros, and you want to buy something where the seller wants USD, you go to the market and exchange your Euros for USD. The more demand there is for USD, the higher the USD is compared to other currencies.
A person can invest in physical items to store wealth. Gold is a traditional choice. If one does not own something physical, then they have their stored wealth in one currency of another. If the wealth is in an American bank account or the American stock market, its in USD. If the wealth is in a European bank or stock market, its in Euros. Etc, etc, etc.
Thus, if the value of USD rises compared to other currencies, then the stored wealth in USD also rises in value. If the value of the USD falls compared to other currencies, then the stored wealth in USD also falls.
The traditional advantage the US Federal Reserve has is that they own and operate the printing presses that produce USD. This has meant the US can run trade and budget debts without the consequences that other countries have.
Thus, while there is no tax or fee that gets paid to America for using USD, the use of USD in foreign trade creates demand for USD which raises the value of USD on world markets. This also loops into the fact that since USD is very tradeable, then people are happy to store their wealth in USD, which also creates more demand for USD which in turn makes the wealth in USD worth more.
In any case where a feedback loop exists, it can usually operate in the opposite direction. Thus, as trade moves away from the USD, that means less demand for USD, which should weaken the value of USD on world markets, which could then loop into fewer people wanting to store their wealth in USD which in turn further weakens the value of USD in exchange for other currencies of physical stuff like gold.
Thanks for taking the time to answer I really appreciate it.
Darned! I deleted the e-mail that came yesterday with a link to a recent article that said the reason for the sanctions on trade Iran was to recoup losses of fees on international dollar trade transactions that would have benefited America or American concerns. That article mentioned a 7% fee. I’ll go on a hunt and see if I can turn it up somehow.
A CD disk is trapped in the car’s audio system. The only meaningful thing to listen to (partly due to certain real information provided but mainly to study the politically correct newspeak incl. guessing whether certain individual really believes that sh*t) is a national state owned news radio in my Central European Eintopf country. Just a while ago a discussion between a reporter and a “professional commenter” about Skripals. Talking with a surprisingly careful semantics: “poisoned allegedly with Novitchok”, “the culprits are not known yet”, “the whole situation is unclear” etc. Then the woman reporter said: “I don’t have clear opinion on the whole thing anymore.”
WTF, waking up from that opiod-heavy-sweet mental paralysis on the MSM?? Is there still a hope that the Clown Pervert the King will be seen hollow-naked?
I pray for it, but… the Armagedon stuff & so on, ya know…

Anyone following the arrest of Tommy Robinson in the UK? This is the most realistic nightmare I have ever witnessed. Pedophiles are getting all the protection money can buy, and the guy who peacefully protested it got sentenced, and the media was ordered to shut up…
Here is what Paul Weston had to say about it. Somewhere, halfway through his speech, there is also a brief statement from an ex-police constable, which is very, very strong. I think Russia has a very good chance to capitalize on this and show the world who are the real totalitarians are. Most of all, British politicians is just another word for pedophiles.

Robinson, from Bedfordshire, pleaded guilty to a charge of contempt of court.
A judge told him his actions could cause the ongoing trial to be re-run, costing “hundreds and hundreds of thousands of pounds”.
In footage which was played to the court on Friday, Robinson was seen filming himself and people involved in the trial.
The court heard how the footage, which supposedly lasted around an hour, had been watched 250,000 times within hours of being posted online via Facebook.
During Friday’s hearing, Matthew Harding, defending, claimed that his client had “deep regret” for what he had done.
“…Meanwhile, Russia is sending to the Far East the world’s first floating nuclear power plant, “Akademik Lomonosov”. On the way from St. Petersburg, she made a stop in Murmansk. There will be fuel charging, and after that, off to Chukotka she’ll go. A long way through the Arctic Ocean to the port of Pevek. There, the floating NPP will be connected to the land-side…”

We know that Dennis Goes Ballistic If not Given Proper Care and Attention Daily and gets set off by the slightest visual effects that cause him to free associate wildly as in some sort of pranoid, demented fit, eapecially induced by “slick video” so I have given special calming care to try to bring him along on this joyful process of The Approach Of Victory Over Empire….if he can be kept pacified, long enough…by summarizing the important Billington Strategic Overview of 3 days ago….with extensive time stamp notes.

Dear Bro, the video of Billington you linked to is nearly two hours long. I listened to seven minutes of it but cannot understand how that relates to all the other references. Yes, he does mention a Dennis. This is just too much information for me; I lack your capacity. Besides, from other sources, I believe the LaRouches and their staff are providing cover and misdirection from the real powers that run the world: Jews of the Talmudic Pharisee line who ended up in Germany after Rome destroyed the Jewish Temple, known as Ashkenazi, or German Jews. Does the LaRouche group ever clearly identify this kind of Jew as the Empire? I don’t think so, but there are so many smokescreens around the Powers That Be, that it’s difficult to see through them. I think this is mostly theater anyway, scripted and directed from the top by the world bosses. The only way to tell truth now is through fiction, which is why I am writing about Count Khazar and Lord Leary, as antagonist and protagonist in this fake drama. My own solid rock of truth is Love, as specified in the Ten Commandments of Love. By the way, your endless ad hominems about me are fiction too. Love, Dennis

How do you account for the surprise of 8 June last year?
Two reasons. The first is that the campaign for Scottish independence, even though it was lost, the way it was actually fought – by both sides, but with the young mainly on the side of independence – was a tonic. I was in Scotland a great deal during that time, speaking at meetings, and it was a joy – somethin

Armchair Cafe Theology (ACT) Part 30A
Love is a feeling more than anything else. Of course, it involves everything else, and therefore has many objects. But the purest love has no object at all, and it is not an object itself. It manifests itself in the heart, either by its presence or absence; and is confirmed by loyalty to the Ten New Commandments of Love.
Theology is the study of God, which leads us directly to Love, by way of Saint John’s teaching that “God is Love.” God loves us, is another way to say it; and we love God by faithfulness to the Ten Commandments of Love. God and Love are intimately and indivisibly within and around us. When we fell away from Love in the proverbial “fall of man,” we took God with us, and made God in our image. Since we are so inseparably linked, it can also be stated that God made us in his image. “Let ‘us’ (note the plural) make man in ‘our’ (plural again) image.” God is a Community of at least three.
There is a transition going on, as God sheds his patriarchal armor and again puts on the garments of love, which involves activating a new love language and culture, based on our original Love Culture but reformulated in terms we can understand today. The Vineyard also, through this Cafe, is moving from war analysis to love catalysis. We brave few are the catalyst for a worldwide cultural and language sea change. War will eventually cease and there will be peace, but first the fever must break and the boil surcease.
The Love Army’s Ten Commandments of Love are the field that must be attended to and integrated into our lives. In addition, there are twelve steps of discovery, many times deeper than the popular 12 step recovery programs. The steps describe our chronological development, in a time sequence, beginning with Conception and beginning again with our Reception into a wider sphere of influence and congruence, popularly but erroneously called “the afterlife,” as if this passing shadow-time is the only life, which it is not.
Very briefly, let’s look at a summary preview of the 12 steps of discovery, leading to an uncovering of who we are:
1. Conception. The sexual act of intercourse of a woman and man, where life materializes two sex strands and love currents into a double helix. Artificial insemination is a gross corruption and interruption of the natural love process, reducing persons to technological instrumentality. Even these deficits can be healed with love, since nothing is impossible for love, according to the tenets of love theology. Likewise, since love is primarily a feeling, we can discover-recover the wide-ranging circumstances of our conception, through our first “body-emotion” experience.
The theological doctrines of the Annunciation by an angel to Mary, and her insemination by the Spirit-Semen remind us that we also come onto this planet like Angels, trailing clouds of glory. In the Love Culture of 100,000 years ago, womem ovulated and menstruated together in synch with the Moon, and so they all gave birth about the same time. Womem then were acutely aware of the changes in their bodies, and knew when they conceived, during the communal sex rituals, overshadowed by the wings of angels, moved by the pulse of the dances and lullabied by songs of ancestors.
Our Conception is the pivot-point between the time when we were Creator Ancestors of advanced love technology and were Created Animals of greater intelligence and love than the hominids who preceded us. There is a permeable veil between these two states; and as we grow into the Love Army’s power and the Love Government’s bower, we remember our Home and home away from home, and can easily go from one to the other.
2. Womb World. For nine months we floated in a world of water and blood. We were safe, secure and protected by the Love Bower’s warm nurturnng within and Army without. The new mothers were attended by matrons, midwives and men, sensitive to and aware of the subtle influences of environment on the pregnant young womem and the blossoming and budding life of their bellies. The womb home of our creators, from earthly gardens to starry galaxies, touched and caressed wombs of womem in this world.
The Rebellion of Patriarchy destroyed this natural life, and left only a remnant of memory in the abdomens of adepts who sensed what had been lost, providentially preserved in the bowers of imagination and bellies of pure water and uncontaminated blood. Now we know the dangers impinging on mothers and their womb charges: stress, drugs, toxic food, jarring noise, pets, domestic violence, TV, computers, smart meters and radiating appliances of all kinds; not the least of which are internalized depression, grief, rage, anger, fear, anxiety and war-born terror of the Crypto Cyber Age. Womb Little Ones are bombarded unmercifully by technical progress which leaves love behind.
The good news is that, like conception, dysfunctional drawbacks during womb-time can be healed, even at 78, as in my case. I can apply my faculties of fantasy, mind and will to restore, in part, life in the mother’s body as it was designed; by mothering myself well. All of us, men included, were once women through our mothers; and men still have a feminine anima and vestigial uterus as echos of those blissful times. Healing works best if backed up by adherence to the Love Government’s Ten Commandments of Love, if only by wishful thought and desire.
3. Birth. The next stage of critical development is birth. In the Love Culture, birth was a pain free, joyful and ecstatic experience for mother and child–so different than the births we endure in hospitals, with doctors and insurance agents laying down the rules. The ancient bowers had none of that nonsense: pain and pain killers, awkward and unnatural positions, intrusive exams, florescent lights and all too often unnecessary Caesarian Sections, depriving babies and mothers of a natural foundation and sometimes sadly, to pad account ledgers.
I surmise that progress has been made, but back in the day, my older sister was stillborn, and hospital employees had a hard time getting me to breathe, possibly from drugs. I was held upside down and rump-thumped, probably, under glaring lights while my eyes were swathed with disinfectant; I was weighed, taken from my mother, the breast denied, and set down in a bassinet, and rolled to a zoo-like observation room, while Mom was attended to. Later I was bottle fed on hospital protocol schedule; and later still, circumcised. No wonder I have problems.
My son, by contrast, had a home birth with midwives. I was the first to catch him in my hands as he entered this world of wonder and woe, and put him to his mother’s breast, umbilical cord still pulsating. He was never separated from mom or the breast, until he chose to quit, somewhere around four years old, if I recall rightly. Our birth passage from safe womb as part of mother to separated individual is fraught with challenges and dangers, and accounts for much of our behavior now.
Nicodemus came to Jesus at night, and asked him if a man could re-enter his mother’s womb and be born again. Jesus answered in the affirmative. We can go back to our early experiences and relive them, healing the mistakes and sad griefs. As adults, we are acting out our childhoods, infancy and time in the womb anyway; probably also our past lives and the purpose of our conceptions. We keep reliving our histories until we integrate them into who we are: lovers in community, which, after all, is the deep meaning of God and Love, and therefore theology; and of the Creative Source of All.
Once upon a time, Jesus was surrounded by a throng of people, pressing in on him. A woman who had a bleeding disorder, threaded her way through the crowd to the back of Jesus, saying to herself: “If I but touch the hem of his robe, I shall be healed.” Jesus turned suddenly, and cried out: “Who touched me, for I felt power go out?” Weeping, the woman showed herself, and declared she felt a healing power enter her. Jesus confirmed it.
As far as I can tell, the smallest unit of physicality (physics) is the photon, a light particle. If that is true, Jesus felt vibrating and dancing photons leave his body and transfer to the woman’s. But there’s more to the story: my intuitive seventh sense tells me there’s a greater dimension, composed of, for lack of a better word, “lovons.” Why else would Jesus make love his prime word? “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my word will not.” Love is that word, and the Love Army’s first commandment is: “Think Love.”

The villification must flow!
Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko shot dead in Kiev
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-44296672
“After writing about a crashed Russian military plane in 2016, Mr Babchenko said he received death threats and left his home country.”
“Kiev police chief Andriy Kryshchenko also told the media they suspected Mr Babchenko was killed due to his “professional activities”.
Mr Babchenko has criticised the Kremlin in recent years, standing in opposition-led elections against the government in 2012 and denouncing Russia’s actions in Syria and eastern Ukraine.
Clearly Putin ‘done it’.
‘Home country’? Although he was born in Moscow, the name Babchenko sounds more Ukrainian than Russian?
In order to reinforce the non-seqitur meme and reinforce proper russophobia and blame the headline now reads:
“Russia’s opposition journalist Arkady Babchenko shot dead in Kiev”
The previous headline “Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko shot dead in Kiev” was far too weak and I suspect someone will have their knuckles rapped. Neutral headlines are just not acceptable.
Except now it comes out that the whole thing was apparently a faked set-up:
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-05-30/assassinated-anti-putin-journalist-shows-kiev-news-conference-remarkable-story
From the article’s comments:
Something ain’t right with this story. How can they fake a successful assassination unless the assassin is in on the ruse. Wouldn’t a real assassin have to report back “Mission accomplished”? Think about it.
Why couldn’t the hired killer just inform his employer that this was fake and leave the country?
Was a real assassination plot thwarted targeting an anti-Putin journalist? Or was a fake assassination plot hatched to smear Putin?
Their fake accusations against Russia are getting ever more dumb sounding.
Yes, but wait, there’s more anti-Russian vitriol mileage to be had out of this fake news non-assassination:
“Ukraine staged the murder of a Russian dissident journalist in Kiev on Tuesday in what it said was a sting operation to foil a Russian assassination plot”
and it can also be used by Putin to cover up the Skrypal assassination and others too :
“But this staged non-death will inevitably muddy the waters. Russia already denies any involvement in the attempted assassination of its former spy Sergei Skripal in the UK city of Salisbury in March, calling it fake news.
It will now likely seize on this deception in Kiev to strengthen its claim in that case, and in others.”
MI6 will be furious and choking over their Earl Grey tea as we speak.

lian expert on Gallipoli, Harvey Broadbent, had a similar experience when researching the archives: ‘…Difficulties lie in the fact that not all Gallipoli documents seem to be present in the National Archives. There are gaps in document collections of certain events and at crucial times of the campaign.’ [10] Broadbent, though reluctant to say so in public, harbours suspicions that the 1915 Gallipoli campaign (where over a quarter of a million allied soldiers and sailors, including many from Australia and New Zealand, were killed or badly wounded) was deliberately set up to fail by the British and French
Deep stuff
Kudos to RT for blasting out of the water the “Russian Hooligans at the World Cup” accusations of the UK corporate press . RT had several and sundry Brit Football officials testifying as to the competence of the authorities in Russia and reporting how they have met with them recently and are satisfied with their diligence. And to polish it off—they had an avowedly and openly gay football fan relate his experiences in Russia.
Yep, rapid response team work is going to be part of the ethos and style of The Great Leap Forward for Russia.

every son wishes misfortune for his father….I see.
Brothers do not have any compassion for brothers,
there is no understanding …of son by father, I see.
Fools are interested in sweet rose-water sherbet;
some wise men live but with a bleeding liver I see.
The Arab stallion’s broken by a heavy saddle load,
upon the neck of the ass is the golden collar, I see.
Listen to the advice of Hafez kind sir, go and do good;
better than a trunk of jewels, this advice here I see.
Oh so fabulous- thank-you!
Little change since time of Hafiz, the decorations are new, the habits are same
I remember working in similar shops a long time past… I loved it. Brutal, but you could hold your head up. Lookit these guys!

HOLA Cafe Poets!!
It’s my birthday! Please join me in a pOem!
29 May, 2018
On the Beach
At the shore not one thing is out of place.
I struggle always to keep things where they belong,
Tucking away the messy bits that clutter the spaciousness that I crave.
Here the sky is wide, the horizon broad, and the sea deep and vast.
I merely walk along. Then sit,
Upon a log placed conveniently.
I don’t need to make any of it happen.
It’s not up to me.
A seal pops up.
She stretches a long neck
And looks along the shore.
She dives down.
Again she returns
And croons her body
Searching.
I came here searching,
Bearing a secret wish
That on my birthday I would see her,
And write a good poem.
Even though I have done so before,
I still only half believe.
Too convinced by sorrow and disappointment
That I really deserve
To live.
The spaciousness I crave,
Here in front of me a third time
She reveals herself.
Her form arches.
She gazes towards the shore,
My eyes are gazing seaward.
She has seen my heart!
Like a fairy godmother
Three times blesses me with yes!
And places on my soul a seal,
That I make no mistake of this miracle.
Between the stubborn, fixed ground
The flux of chance,
And the grace of luck
In patterns of time so perfectly arranged,
Everything in place
For a meeting on the shore.
Salt tears trickle
On waves of gratitude
From my inner ocean depths.
Within and without
Time and forever
Weave together.
k
Happy Birthday k
Your beautiful poem reminds me of the soothing power of the great oceans that connect us all.
Down here it’s whale watching time as they leave the cold south pole and migrate to warm waters off Queensland to give birth.
May my Pacific waters weave together with your ocean and bring you joy.
Very sadly Japan has killed 120 pregnant whales in last few days for “research” purposes……..
Lovely…congrats.
Happy Birthday kinterra ! It’s always a pleasure to read your poems and this one is no exception, as you are one of the “oldies” here in the poetry society of this Cafe. Time is changing and we are sitting on our chairs in some of the Moveable Cafe’s corner, looking to the waves of the sea. Thanks for sharing your feelings !
Your ‘spaciousness’ tells so good what the air-element is promissing toTwin’s children
hence they are longing for it.
Your encounter with the seal and the seal with you on your birthday reminds me of
Artemis’ sphere of roving with animals …
Lived poesy, beautiful told
blessed weaving
Thanks and good wishes

The New York Times Praises the Italian Establishment’s Economic Illiteracy and Assault on Democracy
Posted on May 29, 2018 by William Black
By William K. Black
May 29, 2018 Bloomington, MN
Italy’s establishment has just revealed its truest beliefs and priorities. The context was the two parties that received the most votes in the last election forming a coalition government. The two parties seeking to form a coalition government won a majority of the seats in both houses of Italy’s parliament in the most recent election. The New York Times reported many of the key facts, but missed the key analytics.
Italy’s populists seethed and the European Union sighed with temporary relief on Sunday night after an anti-establishment alliance poised to govern the bloc’s fourth-largest economy imploded at the last minute amid concerns that it was planning to sneak out the back door of the eurozone.
Less than a week after Italy’s populist parties, the anti-establishment Five Star Movement and the anti-immigrant League, ironed out their policy differences and jubilantly received a mandate to form a government that they said would usher in a new era in Italian and European history, its designated prime minister announced on Sunday evening that he had failed to form a government.
Both paragraphs are lies. Bizarrely, the rest of the article demonstrates both lies. I do not support key aspects of either party’s platforms, so I am not writing as a disgruntled supporter. I start with the NYT’s second lie, for exposing it also exposes the first lie. Giuseppe Conte, the “designated prime minister,” did not “announce … that he had failed to form a government.” He announced an undisputed fact – a political rival, President Sergio Mattarella, refused to allow the two parties to form a coalition government because he objected to their selection of Paolo Savona as their economics minister.
Italy has a very different political system than the United States, so let me make the key point clear that the NYT writers sought to obscure. Italian voters crushingly rejected the political policies of President Sergio Mattarella in the recent elections. They strongly supported the views of rival parties – the (generally leftist) Five Star Movement and the (hard right) League. A strong majority of Italian voters rejected Mattarella’s policies. The Five Star Movement and the League’s supporters share the view that Mattarella’s establishment economic policies have done catastrophic damage to the Italian economy and people. The establishment economic policies include devotion to the euro, austerity, anti-worker policies, and continuing public bailouts of failing Italian banks.

Founder Kaspersky Labs says Bitcoin created by American Intelligence Agencies
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8yAtTba9kM
(the comments are worth a glance and quick tally)
Kaspersky news …
https://www.rt.com/trends/kaspersky-lab-news-russia/
Natalya Kaspersky claimed that Bitcoin was designed to provide financing for US and British intelligence activities around the world.
https://sputniknews.com/business/201801191060881605-kasperskaya-bitcoin-us-intelligence/
Could be.
But White Hats or Black Hats?
Or unintended consequences, both bad….AND good??
They say the same thing about the internet and DARPA.
Is it a bad thing that here we are, on the internet, pondering the puzzle of the Internet 2.0 or 3.0 ???
… “could be” … a fiat money transfer mechanism … yes or no.
Does it matter? … yes, it does, because most people like the truth.
It’s a system of fiat money transfer only if there are services to exchange the crypto for the desired fiat(s). That is, you’ll have to convert your fiat into crypto in one place, and then convert it back to fiat in another place. Such services now exist, though I wonder how anonymous they really are if you tried to exchange a few hundred million dollars.
Kaspersky’s claim makes it sound like the idea was that rather than the intel agencies putting “Mr. Phelps” on an airplane with a briefcase containing one million dollars (insert shot of Dr. Evil placing finger to lips) for ISIS and a couple of bodyguards as protection, instead they would either give Mr. Phelps a USB give, or else they wouldnt even bother Mr. Phelps at all, but just email to crypto address directly to ISIS. Note that this still requires that some third parties can convert the crypto into fiat so that ISIS can cash out their crypto wallet to buy guns, Toyota trucks, sneakers, etc. and obviously that depends on a whole economy being in place that may or may not ask questions. Mr. Phelps and the suitcase still enjoy certain advantages.
It would of course be interesting to know the original intention behind this with greater clarity, but here I tend to side with Bro’s comment, above. We know that the Internet was developed first as the command and control system for the American military but does that history irrevocably taint everything mediated by the Internet?
As for the identity of Nakamoto, I am curious too, but think about all the technologies we use almost every day in ignorance of their inventors. Who invited LCD displays? The WYSIWYG word processor? The integrated circuit? The microprocessor? Dynamic memories? The SQL database? The Ethernet? IP/TCP? Lithium Ion batteries? Cell phones? Going back further… Shipping containers? Xerography? Television?
How many people care?
Thanks for sharing this, Paul.
This story made the rounds in January. Kaspersky’s claims:
Kaspersky also claims that Satoshi Nakamoto is a pseudonym for a group of American cryptographers.
My observations:
(1) Kaspersky is not the first one to make some of these claims. “The CIA created Bitcoin” is practically a meme at this point. To my knowledge, though, we have a lot of speculation and no direct evidence of her claim. There are probably hundreds of threads on the Internet exploring this, but every one of them that I have seen is inconclusive.
(2) The claim that the technology is “privatized” doesn’t quite make sense to me. The design of Bitcoin is in Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper. Nobody owns it. It’s not a proprietary technology. You don’t need to license it from some company. The code that implements the Bitcoin network is open source which, again, means that nobody owns it.
If Kaspersky means “privatized” in the sense that the US intel agencies have in fact reverse-engineered the technology in some way, and have access to everybody’s Bitcoins, she’s going to have to explain how that is possible.
Bitcoin uses the SHA-256 hashing algorithm for security. It works like this: you put in an arbitrary string of text (e.g., a password) and you get a 64-character hash. You can’t “decode” the password from the hash, because hashing is a one-way function. To crack it, you must attempt a brute-force attack (i.e., try every possible combination of inputs) and look for a match.
Here, many people get paranoid because SHA-256 was in fact developed by the US govt, and they reason that the US govt must be able to crack it. By the numbers, though, this seems very difficult.
I’ve heard it said that there are more hashes in SHA-256 than there are atoms in the universe. Here are a couple of quotations that spell out the computing power required to brute force attack SHA-256:
“If you were able to compute and check a billion passwords per second it would take you 20,982,484,146 seconds to generate every possible hash. If you start now you’ll be finished in about 665 years.”
“If you are able to leverage some more computing power and generate a trillion hashes per second it would only take a bit more than half a year. The good news is that computing hashes can be done in parallel, so it is easy to utilize multiple machines.”
“A Raspberry Pi can generate 2*10^5 hashes per second. I believe the newer Raspberry Pis are more powerful than that so I’m going to double that to 4*10^5. You need to generate about 10^15 hashes per second to be done in less than a day.
You’re going to need 250,000,000 Raspberry Pis.”
Now, let’s say that the NSA has a giant server farm of extremely high-powered supercomputers that can reduce the time to do these brute force attacks — let’s say they could do it in two months, for example. That two months of super-computing would still only break one password. It would give them access to one wallet, only, not everybody on the blockchain.
You’ll also find people who talk about quantum computing for attacking hashing algorithms. Maybe someday in the future, but at present quantum computing is still too primitive for such applications. To me, QC sort of sounds like nuclear fusion — always just a decade away ;)
At this point, today, I believe the consensus is that SHA-256 is secure. Even if it were found to be crackable, another algorithm could be used. There are many possibilities. There are altcoins that already use other algorithms and place greater emphasis on security than Bitcoin.
What about other back doors hidden in the Bitcoin system? This seems unlikely, because the fact that Bitcoin is open source means that hundreds if not thousands of very good software developers have worked on the code in public repositories. Many of these people are security professionals, and they review each others’ code. If there were any backdoors, they would have been discovered and squashed.
(4) Kaspersky claims that the price of Bitcoin is controlled by the owners of exchanges. This is true, but there are many different exchanges, and thus in fact a number of different prices. The owner of one exchange could do something crooked to skew the price a bit and profit from that, but it would have no effect over the price of Bitcoin at the other exchanges owned by other people. The owners are a bunch of medium-small companies scattered around the world. They are all competing for customers. They have developed a number of different web apps (i.e., different code bases) to implement their exchanges. It is difficult to imagine collusion or manipulation across all of the exchanges. There are many people tracking prices across the entire crypto ecosystem, and so if one exchange or even several tried to manipulate the price it would probably be noticed very quickly. Also, for the future, there are now developers working on decentralized exchanges, which would in principle eliminate this issue.
If the security of Bitcoin is a concern, there are other cryptos which place greater emphasis on security. There are now literally hundreds of altcoins. If Nakamoto was in fact the NSA — and, again, I don’t see that we have any real proof of this — and if the aim was to create some sort of NWO-coin that could be controlled, then my conclusion would be that they failed spectacularly. Cryptocurrencies are like the mythical hydra.
(5) Satoshi. There are people who claim he is really the NSA, but there are also people who claim he NOT the NSA precisely because the NSA has in fact worked very hard to figure out his identity:
medium.com/cryptomuse/how-the-nsa-caught-satoshi-nakamoto-868affcef595
…but notice that many of the people commenting on this article were not persuaded by the claim that the NSA has found him, nor do they believe that Satoshi is affiliated with the US intel agencies.
At the end of the day: we just don’t know. And maybe it doesn’t really matter, either.
I have been told (years ago) face to face that Nakamoto is real man and that bitcoin was conceived (at least by him) as a hard practical joke intended to undermine States, one in particular. Is anarchist.
My informant knew the guy. Presumably the fellas were smokin dope and drinking and tossing ideas around…
My informant has moved on and is NLA
I am sure my source feels that this is the truth, but I note that he may be mistaken.
Similar idea occur to more than one person? Sure.
@ irrelevant
It may be a long while before we have harder evidence about Nakamoto’s identity, and there may ever remain an element of conjecture.
But given how the whole crypto phenom has played out thus far, the version of Nakamoto you describe (anti-state anarcho-joker) sounds at least as plausible — if not a little more — than the tinfoily Nakamoto (nefarious NSA crypto team). At least, that’s my (also possibly mistaken) gut feeling.

@Mujo,
It is a common misconception that the bitcoin ‘blockchain’ would fail catastrophically based on a hypothetical weakness in SHA-256. It would only be compromised if there were a simple ‘reverse-SHA’ that could trivially derive the ‘nonce’ in a block. The purpose of SHA-256 is to make it easy to test whether a block is genuine. It is meant to be a difficult, but not impossible task to perform by brute force, a ‘proof of work’.
From the Wikipedia article,
This usage of SHA-256 is but one aspect of the blockchain database of bitcoin. Another aspect is that blocks are continually produced by the distributed network of miners, and if you have managed to counterfeit one block, the network will shortly produce another one, and your fake will no longer pass the test. If you own some bitcoin, it is in a ‘wallet’, protected by public key cryptography, which has not shown signs of weakness.
When bitcoins have been stolen, it was always because someone obtained the private key to the wallet containing the coin. Most often, this would happen when an exchange was compromised by hackers, or by dishonest employees of the exchange, or by agents of some government confiscating the servers. If your bitcoin is on deposit with an exchange, you do not have possession of the wallet.
There has never been an instance (so far) when the bitcoin algorithm itself has been cracked, and bitcoins counterfeited.
@ Amerikanski Thanks for elaborating on this. This is a very important point indeed.
To date, the security problems with cryptos that we occasionally read about in the news (e.g., the CoinCheck exchange hack in Japan) concern lax or inadequate security practices on the exchange servers themselves, and not the underlying cryptography of the coins themselves.

Is Israel did it they had plenty of help, Comrade.
My mind has been busily engaged with a nagging question concerning love and romance. I love the typical romantic movie about a couple of lovers who overcome obstacles, prove their characters to themselves and to each other, separate, at least in their values and choices, from more undesirable characters, and in a dramatic denouement, fall in love and live happily ever after. Jane Austin’s novels would be a fine example.
The problem is that such imaginings are selfish and unrealistic; and yet they grip me. There are exceptions where a couple seem to be blissful and ecstatic until death does them part. But that “seem” is fraught with self-deception and forced pretense. So, what is the alternative? My sense is that it lies in the notion of “community.” Can I love a community with the same intensity of falling in love with another person in the prime years of sexual attraction? Why not?
I can’t because I’ve been programmed from birth into the delusion of romantic couples and monogamous relationships. Behind that kind of mind management are the powers that divide and conquer, in this case, by dividing the world into couples, and thereby subverting the strength of small communities where everyone know everyone else intimately and sexually, where appropriate. The search word for this view is “communal sex,” with its attendant never-ending “variety is the spice of life” vitality.
It’s a story that I can’t do justice to in this limited time and space, so let it stand as a thesis to be proved in each person’s and community’s case. Currently, I’m back in my birth family’s community, minus our parents and grandparents; however, their memories linger. The other community I have in mind is this Vineyard Community with its more virtually intimate Cafe. It remains to be seen what the new Saker.Community evolves into. If I push the clock much further back, I come to the Community of our Origins, say, 100,000 years ago in Africa. And even more original and perhaps ultimate, is the eternal community of our creators, of which we partake still.
The touchstone of my budding experience in this regard is Love, the love of community rather than of a couple in a sexual relationship. Christian theology calls it the Communion of Saints, but leaves off the sexuality. I don’t think this is fair and so I reinsert sex into its natural love context. I bolster my tenuous experimentation by practicing as well as I can the Ten Love Commandments of the Love Army and Bower, built upon the foundation that Jesus laid down.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, don’t worry: it’s not so much in the realm of knowledge as of love, and who knows what that really is? It just seems to happen, or doesn’t, with some connection to the work we put into it. I believe this kind of community love and sex is the only way to stop war and its brood of insane children. So I will continue to practice what I preach in my blood community, and in this more “watery” cyber community; and see how it goes by testing and tasting salvation by “blood and water.”
In the love calendar solar year, we are in week 23, in the fourth suit of the game, or fourth column of the temple, called “Form,” with the human form as model; at the second step of seven, with the theme of Sex, qualified by the polarities of Lust and Love, illustrated by the Tarot cards: the seven of cups and two of cups, portrayed by a dark figure contemplating the seven deadly sins and the light figures of a man and woman lovers holding cups. Again, don’t let the density of words block a certain flow of feeling.
To tend this sort of warm fire, I’ll append a stream of consciousness poem that was originally all run together and evenly justified top, sides and bottom; now transposed into lines. I will retype it from my manuscript of some twenty-five years hence, and augment my pleasure again, this time with our Saker Community and the other communities heretofore mentioned:
The second card up in the suit of form
Is the room of Sex where all were born
Sex has the genes of procreation
With pleasant means of recreation
The deck is stacked in favor of Sex
It stands with love at the house apex
If Sex goes sour, you turn to power
If you don’t have honey, you want money
If you can’t make love, you make war
And forget about what’s worth living for
I once was married and then divorced
I had Sex but it was way too forced
I worked through the master taboo
So now I’m free to relate with you
Freud said if you don’t have Sex, you get sick
There’s lots of compensations; take your pick
Dogs and cats, houses and cars
Gods and hats, spouses and bars
If you are not doing it, you are doing that
Even God got bored not having Sex
He got tired of his opposite ex
That’s why we have creative compensations
Infinite forms of made up perturbations
Sex and love are from above
Sex and lust are from the dust
If it wasn’t for lust, few would be born
Love breathed on clay until it was warm
Sexual frustration is not that bad
It sure makes businessmen glad
My Sexual cycle has come full circle
I’ve made my passage from red to purple
I’ve remarried love, or lover if you prefer
Sex is the same whether with him or her
My love is for Sex in the highest degree
The relationship of the most holy trinity
Love, lover and lovers of consciousness
A Sexual triangle that pleasure all of us
Ultimate sensation of consummation
And love’s sacred religion relation
Saint Celibate is making love
Just not what you’re thinking of
I will follow in that legacy
Go for the gold of Sexual ecstasy
You can be Francis and I’ll be Clare
We’ll make love here, there and everywhere
I meet my soulmate of mystical mind
And the Sexual body that’s hard to find
Love and lust are an unlikely pair
Lust for love, care there
Here’s a short 21 line poetic salute to love:
Wonderful creative center
Through you newborns enter
Ideas, children, dreams
More to you than it seems
All things dual natured
Here are dually nurtured
Tensions build, lovers release
Mate for future’s new increase
Elements coordinated
Conditions agitated
Results propagated
From above energy runs down
Within love barriers come down
The lower opens to the higher
Lovers welcome with desire
Calm once again descends
Means having met their ends
Birds and bees, flowers and trees
Hills and valleys, oceans and seas
Move in cycles, heaving and hoeing
Groove in rhythms, sowing growing
Love, Dennis

I’m happy to see you back in the vineyard, Dennis. And I’m grateful for the poems. Thank you Teranam, Kinterra, Dmitry, Ioan, Bro and others I may have missed.
One more comment I want to make about the Communal love,sex subject and won’t be labor it more.
Even in the smallest “love/sex” community, a , shall we say, tetrahedronal one of two men and two women , couples will form and one couple will do more work than the other. And this is important for people need justice. What destroys such communities is that those who partake in such arrangements are unequal in their understanding and commitment to love. Love is not primarily a feeling, Love is a verb expressed through caring. When we say “god is love” we are affirming the most high as the ultimate worker and carer, he who carries all.
Now the one in our own time who most espoused the adulation of woman and most put it into practice was Jimi Hendrix, who did so in the purest, most joyful, and creative way. He gave it “the good old college try” as we say. The girls wanted him and the boys wanted to be him. And he was fully equipped by the most high to pull it off. Wild Afro hair, divine light shining from his face, well hung, with “god given ass” as Ziggy Stardust said, psychonaut extraordinaire, and genius musician guitar god to boot. He truly knew the depth and height of the problem and presented it in his wonderful double album “Electric Ladyland” his magnum opus. And he failed. “Power to the people, that’s what they’re screaming. Freedom of the soul! Pass it on , pass it on, to the young and old.” And again: “Hello my friend. So good to see you again. Been all by myself. I don’t think I can make it alone. Keep pushing ahead!”
God was murdered. Jimi discovered this. Nietzsche knew. Jesus was executed by the state. Ali and Husayn
Were murdered. The Bab was executed by the state. To Bahaullah god was locked in a prison of light by the evil doers. Martin Luther King was murdered. I’m sure many women manifestations have been murdered and are being murdered. I’m not bringing this stuff up to be obstructive to your teaching but to give a bit of background to the problem.
My challenge a couple of cafe’s ago re the bringing together of the threads of cryptography, love, and I guess music remains. For someone with a technical bent and a “hunger and thirst after righteousness” this might be a way to do hell now, or perhaps avoid it altogether. That last part is speculation.
Anyway….(as Ellen says at the end of her shows. My wife loves her.)
Read your last post re Jimi Hendrix, and now this one.
Here is one of my versions of the inside cover Electric Ladyland. (fairly big).
Enjoy.

That’s the place! I grew up at sweetwater , Arizona. The first girl I loved was a Navajo girl from Montezuma Creek, Colorado.
It’s true: Without the penetration of the outer skin of the ova by the spermatozoa, none of us would even be here.
And if none of us repeated the process in our adulthoods, no one else would be here after us, either.
You might say that Sex IS the First And Perhaps Most Indispensable Step.
Yet. we can’t spend the rest of our existence circling around that Ovum Magnificum chanting and panting and pounding our Ceremonial Staff Into Mother Earth.
SO…….Moving Right Along:
There was concluded in St Petersburg a few days ago the Annual SPIEF that among other things may offer a few steps toward addressing the populating of the Russian Far East. And other parts of Russia and the opportunity of other peoples of the world to participate in the economic opportunity in Russia for their businesses and in their own countries for Russian businesses.
There are not “too many” Russians, in ANY part of it, so they might, as a nation and as individuals, heed the “be fruitful and multiply” commandment of old, with beneficial consequences for their future.
But besides pairing up as fathers and mothers (which social and biological programming used to pretty much take care of itself…..before all the gender “diversification”…..ie congenital confusion…….. introduced by the Luciferian “Elites”….) there ARE other steps, other requirements for the economic and other forms of ….reproduction ……of Society. Other forms of “intercourse” are also part of Love!
What I did to report here on those recent events in St Petersburg was listen to London Paul’s latest pair of podcasts which were devoted entirely to SPIEF.
I took notes. The main recurring theme, the “stretto” if you will of his SPIEF podcasts was “The Dustbin of History”.
Christine Le Garde was there, Paul reports, but not as meaningful participant on the scene with any intention of assisting anything good in any meaningful way. No, her purpose there was only as a somewhat glum and depressed reporter to her masters, the EU, the Central Banksters. Paul dismisses her and her Institution, the IMF, as headed, in the short term, for “The Dustbin of History”.
You’ll notice these days on many Alt-News websites and blogs a crypto section. The Sirius Report is no exception. Paul, though English, seems at times to almost verge on being a Russian Chauvinist…..but suave, smooth as the Silk Road…not at all obnoxious…….unless you are from Silicon Valley.
He stated that there was a lot of buzz in St P. in terms of the application of blockchain tech to new waves of business into and out of Russia…..and quite confidently stated that Russian coders and programmers are well known to be THE BEST in this field.
Could be! If so anti-crypto members of the Multi-polar Alliance Against the Empire Hegemon might want to “reboot” on that subject …..or get a few “bugs” out of their rusty old brains.
Oh, in this context, I think he also made mention of the US Petro Dollar as belonging to Set of Things Headed for The Dustbin of History. Hmmmm. Perhaps diversify?? Bitcoin has been in a lull. That’s better than a December 2017 entry near 20K…….LOL.
Don’t ask me how it works, but Paul also asserted that Russian and Chinese blockchain tech developers were hard at work in applications in the energy sector, as this tech is marvelous at tracking value and preventing fraud.
This is not good news for Ukies Wanting Free (Stolen) Russian Gas…….. nor for their President Poroshenko, who, Paul assured us, is also Headed for the Dustbin of History.
Now here’s where Paul gets a little close to home with consigning things into dustbins:
“Silicon Valley, in any case, is Headed for the Dust Bin of History, says Paul. This news would certainly make Martin from Soviet East Berlin glow with Ossie Satisfaction…..so I hope he hears this assessment, wherever he is!
Besides taking notes from London Paul I sampled a bit of video from SPIEF. Here’s the shortest quickest tour, for Allies…….Or Cabal ….On the Run:
https://youtu.be/1v7huitZl4Q
And then there is this part (same video), where Putin assures European visitors to SPIEF concerned about security ……..that Russia has their back……and is ready to provide any security that good business relations with Russia and Europe demand. The only thing hampering this mutually beneficial and secure relationship, he added was the very confusing Rules of The Game ……..where sanctions thrown around make the world chaotic, like trying to play soccer…..with the rules of Judo:
https://youtu.be/1v7huitZl4Q?t=111
Note Macron’s face. And Putin’s sense of humor vs the tightness of some of the guests.
If only LeGarde, May and Merkle (those witches were absent) would forget their judo fantasies of throwing the Russian Federation into the Dust Bin of History……..Leverage Will Only Get You So Far….in Finance OR Judo
I don’t expect this report to please Dennis or Anonymouse one bit, given their staunch opposition to Eurasian Economic Development and OBOR…….and the Internet of Money and blockchain playing any role whatsoever in efficiency, fraud prevention and business innovation!
Strange programming at work in that corner of the Vineyard!
But there is One Consolation For Them:
SEX Is Not Headed for the Dust Bin of History Any Time Soon.
Unless We All Are!

Hi, Lasttruebeliever, Kent and Bro. Mind if I join you? I saw you sitting at my favorite little square table in the cozy corner of this afternoon cafe. Looks like the fourth chair is for me. The red rose is a nice touch. Your conversation was highlighted on my time sequencer which automatically coordinates with my Timex. I’ve got just enough time share a few first impressions before Stephen drives me to the Tomah DMV for a Wisconsin driver’s license. No time to address all the other buzz that’s going on at the other tables; my integral processor will have to save it for later. Mind you, these are flash bits unproofed by thought.
Bro, you’re quite the poet in what you said first but there was static in my brain with the tech circuits. Glad to hear that sex is still holding its own in your scaler. Your linker talent is appreciated. Did you notice the look in Putin’s eyes when Trump is mentioned, and the chuckle? Tweedle Dee Dum and Tweedle Dee Dee. They’re in on the plan for the revised bi-polar Man, under the covers of multi-roller coaster. But it’s comin’ on in: Uncle Sam and Uncle Joe redux, with Israel and China in support roles.
Speaking of The Man, Kent you topped yourself with the Jimi Icon, right up there with Jesus.
Man, my driver timer is vibrating. Where does the time go when I’m having fun? Got to run in ten. Lasttruebeliever, just wanted to say I want to mine your prose so bad, but a Trump duplicator I am not; poor man he is not but he needs my help as so many of you believers no more are slyly sliding off his wagon. Such a pity we can’t stay the course. Say hi to Helga, Ann and Mary. I’d like to lighten the worries they carry.
Love, Dennis
Okay Dennis, you are very welcome to sit at this table, provided you follow one simple rule:
At this table we drink this stuff only : http://fotovision.no/GLP2/Midleton2015_MG_0002_resize.JPG
If you don’t know what it is, look it up. If it’s not to your liking. There is plenty other tables.
As one of my old english friends used to say, “Let’s sit down, drink, and talk shit”, which actually is what’s happening here, and in any other Cafe’/pub. The actual meaning of this sentence is: Let’s sit down, drink, and have a good time together”
Kent
Great picture of the Irish whisky bottle, especially liked the little gnomes withreds hats !!! But this is a community remember, so no segregation of those whose tastes may differ, an’ no central boss telling someone to get out because his views may be distasteful. Lets grin and bare it ! sit down, drink, and have a good time together – cheers – down the hatch !
Bankster
Never had a Midleton; probably couldn’t afford it; made in Cork, where dad’s family came from. Mom said they were shanty Irish, but her line came from Donegal, at opposite end of Eire. I prefer Irish Mist liqueur: better for me and way cheaper. Hope the cafe isn’t being gentrified. Guess I could afford a shot. Let’s shit down and talk craic. Thanks for the lol. Cheers.
This should be reply to Kent just above.
“poor man he is not but he needs my help”
To do what – stop this?
“But it’s comin’ on in: Uncle Sam and Uncle Joe redux, with Israel and China in support roles.”
Are you going to start by making him reverse his “mistaken” embassy move as a first step?
Embassy move is no mistake but part of Trump’s 4D chess; a first step to make Jerusalem a universal city. It’s going to take a long time, but as the Jews weaken, a compromise will be forced by the world community. A new Jewish temple will be built using the Western (Wailing) Wall up very close to the Dome of the Rock. In time, other major religions, including Orthodoxy and Catholicism, will be represented until there is complex of religions in the area, all gathered in the name of Love. The Love Army will facilitate a Universal Religion of Love, drawing upon the work of our Vineyard, and other truthers and lovers.

You will be very welcome Kent. I am waiting for another artist to suggest how to present his quirky art.
Most of you probably saw that Browder from Magnitsky Act fame was arrested briefly and then let go again. I think in France it was Spain. Mod. I was in contact with Alex Krainer just yesterday,who wrote Deconstructing Bill Browder’s Dangerous Deception on the Browder affair and the Magnitsky Act. His book was immediately delisted by Amazon and we hosted him for a long time as he put it on free download. Alex went on the warpath and eventually they won I believe and his book will again be available for sale. The free download time is over so I hope you grabbed it while it was available.
At saker.community we’re a service oriented. So, in this case, we could continue distributing this very important book, and be resilient and censorship resistant and indie. That is one thing that I had my focus on this past year. The Saker is now a publisher, but with a difference. We are as censorship resistant as what a publisher can be, and can distribute books even if the whole world is against us. No more Amazon if a writer chooses that, no more ‘big cheeses’ that grab a serious and topical truth telling book and remove it from distribution and from the eyes of those who must read it. So besides the fun, there is a very serious task for saker.community which I do not speak about frequently enough, I admit. If there is anything that I am real happy about my labors over the past year, it is this one thing! Getting us out of the hands of the controllers as much as is possible for truth speaking voices to *not* be silenced. OK, getting off my sandbox now! lol.
My next task here is to take Ramin’s excellent series on China and ‘e.book’ that for free download for us.
Any of our artists want to put their hands to creating a simple piece of cover art for this?
Send me the details, let’s see what can be done.

Ukraine security Faked the ‘murder’ of Russian ‘opposition’ journalist, Babchenko.
Oh dear.
Just when the MSM was getting nicely warmed up with the latest round of Russophobia…
https://www.rt.com/op-ed/428284-babchenko-alive-msm-kiev-lies/
The MSM rescues the russophobia -they can now get twice the mileage out of it. Two for one:
BBC said: “Ukraine staged the murder of a Russian dissident journalist in Kiev on Tuesday in what it said was a sting operation to foil a Russian assassination plot”
“But this staged non-death will inevitably muddy the waters. Russia already denies any involvement in the attempted assassination of its former spy Sergei Skripal in the UK city of Salisbury in March, calling it fake news.
It will now likely seize on this deception in Kiev to strengthen its claim in that case, and in others.”
Get that? Russian assassination plot foiled, Putin will now use it to cover up the Skrypal assassination and others too. Note also that it is ‘Russia’s former spy’ and not a Russian spying for the UK.
Quite how ‘assassinating’ Babchenko before the real assassins can assassinate him can catch the assassins is beyond me. Were they expected to assassinate him twice for good measure?
You’d have to be a truly lost cause if you buy this utter bs any longer…
I’ve noticed a few of the more noisy Russophobics of my acquaintance (mostly unthinking sheep rather than people with axes to grind) have gone silent on the Russian ‘collusion’/evil Putin meme lately.
It’s become harder to sit on the sidelines too, so egregious is the propaganda.
There are indeed many lost causes out there and not much hope, more’s the pity:

Definition:
“Propaganda close”
That part of a “news story” that appears after the reporting of the actual “news” in the story that then just repeats the history of what’s led up to this news item from the propaganda point of view of the outlet.
These days, the parts of the news story that are actual news, usually the part that has been announced in the headline and which drew your attention, is often only a few paragraphs at the top of the story. After that comes the “propaganda close” which repeats all the messages about the situation which the reader is supposed to have deeply implanted into their brain.

Any journalist who knows their stuff should have instantly known that reports that Putin had killed Babchenko in Kiev were fake news.
After all, Babchenko was not killed with Novachuk. And by now, we all know that Putin kills people with Novachuk.

Comrade G speaks to the events, and AfD…
“…In his speech at Brandenburg Gate, AfD-boss Alexander Gauland spelled out future plans:
“We stand here because we love our country and will not give it up… Germany is the country of our fathers and mothers and we want to keep it the way it was… Nobody should think that the AfD will go away. We are staying and defending ourselves against the multi-kulti insanity. Our protest will continue and gain strength until the AfD takes over responsibility. And that will mark the end of open borders.”
I am reminded of two quotations. One famous one about fascism is by Bertolt Brecht: “The womb is fertile still from which that crept.” Another, also famous, is again by Yogi Berra, but this time without a smile: “It ain’t over till it’s over!”… ”

Guerre économique ou « guerre absolue
A thoughtful essay, and every so relevant, too!
My opinion is that will is one matter, that is to say deliberate intent is isolated, in logic, from real world result of action. Even the actions of clowns and idiots. This is obvious.
Nevertheless the essay describes the Trumpist Period as in part a set of actions to rid Murka of Empire, thus saving something from the wreckage…
Innarestin’
http://www.voltairenet.org/article201348.html
Whatever intent is, Empire is gettin pretty shaky…
I like your phrase “Empire Base Murka” in a previous cafe, echoed again here.
It conjures comic book villainy, worthy of a visit by the Justice League. ;)
Thanks.
Most Americans want nothing to do with Empire, it’s a massive intelop by Albion, using Israel and whatever else works, to control the US.
At the time of WW2 Americans in power were divided between “Atlantics” and “America First” types. With the odd departure of FDR (and Stalin) Albion came by various intrigues (like using American Jewry) to control US policies, these are obviously in substantial degree coordinated. Policy was coordinated with Albion by degrees, T Man fouled that up, and that’s why, in a crazy way, he’s el presidente of a giant banana republic. He’s the Agent of Change, obviously, whatever he may desire.
If this thesis has merit, and I am sure it has, then we arrive at the matter of naming the beast…Thus “Empire Base Murka”. Meantime, America is dying…It may be walking dead…as death is what is left to sell abroad.
But I expect America to recover, without Albion, albeit in a smaller configuration…I expect the State will lose the Western regions. As to when… I do not care. It’s Tragedy… Just watch…no one can stop this odious process.
Actually Trumpthedestroyer might blunder into saving something from the wreckage, withal he fits the dramatic necessity of a clown act, eh? We still manufacture comedy.

Very good!!
My world is miles of endless roads
That leaves a trail of broken dreams
Where have you been
I hear you say?
I will meet you at the Blue Cafe
Because, this is where the one who knows
Meets the one who does not care
The cards of fate
The older shows
To the younger one, who dares to take
The chance of no return
Where have you been?
Where are you going to?
I want to know what is new
I want to go with you
What have you seen?
What do you know that is new?
Where are you going to?
Because I want to go with you
So meet me down at the Blue Cafe
The cost is great, the price is high
Take all you know, and say goodbye
Your innocence, inexperience
Mean nothing now
Because, this is where the one who knows
Meets the one that does not care
Where have you been?
I hear you say
I’ll meet you at the Blue Cafe
So meet me at the Blue Cafe

What they’ve all come here for

Are what it’s all, because of
Surrender is easy
I know you do me no harm
But your innocence haunts me
The most fatal of charms
Oh I must have done some wrong
On a dark and distant day
For I know full and well tonight
This is how that I must pay
And you my love, my sweet, sweet love
Are what it’s all, because of
You my love, my sweet, sweet love
Are what it’s all because of

It is summer and time to read Dostoevsky again.
I have resolved the reason why Dostoevsky has Smerdyakov self annihilate in Bros. Karamazov. Since Bros. Karamazov was his literary last will and testament to the Russian people, he just could not permit this nihilistic evil to survive in the heart of his fictional Russia. It was not the expectations of his readers nor the exigencies of the Czar’s censors that had him eliminate the seizure prone, successful murderer, but rather his need to keep his point clear. And maybe on some deep level he was clearing the Smerdyakov in himself. The Grand Inquisitor’s disputation is followed almost immediately in the mid section of the book by Smerdyakov’s intellectual prowess in undermining Piotyr’s mental stability thus thereby he links the two even though the Inquisitor is just character in a story within a story.
It makes no sense to me in the 21st century why a nihilist would kill himself especially after getting away with a great crime. And with a rope? Even a nihilists who is not a sensualist is still very self centered enough not to want a painful death and of course their existence is so much more important than anyone else, why would they do such a thing?
So I am rereading The Demons/The Possessed where the one main demon leaves Russia; whereas, the other one kills himself but only after going to a holy fool where he confesses and discusses deeper matters. At least that works psychologically given what I remember of the character on the first read. But More on that when I finish the reread. Am looking forward to reading about the man hating teenage feminist in the political cell group meeting. Dostoyevsky nails that energy expression.
I tried to get my St P wife delegated on this.
Literature and philology degree St Petersburg U mid 80s.
Maybe she’s rusty. Didn’t remember a Pyotr from Bros K.
Too involved raising two other brothers. LOL
Time for her to take a refresher!
“There is virtually no chance that Russia will acknowledge any plot against Mr. Babchenko, any attack on Mr. Skripal, or any role in the downing of the jetliner, no matter how clear the evidence. What Russia gains by this is another question….
Mr. Putin, a veteran of the K.G.B., may believe that lying in defense of Russian honor is justified. But every new burst of denial and obfuscation only makes him and his Kremlin look more deceitful and dishonorable.”
Well, NYT (AKA Israel) what’s your point, should Russia admit to killing Babchenko then? Admit to the ‘others’ perhaps, where Russia is innocent, had zero motive and for which no shred of evidence against Russia exists -but does for others?
Why do people read your BS -other than to keep tabs on your vile spin and deceptions?
Let’s look at Babchenko’s ‘clear’ evidence of “a plot by Russian security services to kill him”. As far as I can tell so far his total evidence is use of a photocopy of his passport which ‘only Russian security services would have access to’, despite every bank, corporate, financial, civic institution etc. having copies from just about everyone who has a passport (including mine BTW, and I am not even Russian).
It’s almost painful to read this in the NYT, do they not realise that their very words condemn them?
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/30/opinion/arkady-babchenko-russia-ukraine.html
What is deeply painful is that the nyt,, based on long lost reputation for truth and revelation, is still regarded as anything but a zionazi screed by all of us-ian “liberals” , which they lazily refer to as a news source above reproach. It has become as blatantly state department parrot as the other pathetic holy grail wa-po, leading the pack of hyenas with the blind advocacy of those who should know better.
Central Bank of Russia: Crypto Assets Do Not Pose Risk to Global Financial Stability
https://cointelegraph.com/news/central-bank-of-russia-crypto-assets-do-not-pose-risk-to-global-financial-stability
Earlier this month, the Russian State Duma approved the first reading of new legislation to regulate the crypto industry. The laws define cryptocurrencies and tokens as property, and lay out specifications for interacting with crypto and blockchain-related technologies.
Last week, Russian bank Sberbank CIB and the National Settlement Depository announced a pilot of the country’s first official Initial Coin Offering (ICO). Head of Sberbank CIB Igor Bulantsev said the bank considers the Russian ICO market to be “highly promising,” emphasizing that many of the bank’s clients “are interested in this new way of fundraising.”
Well the World Strategic Mood is Moody on the Eve of June…….but some EOS developer/followers are Shooting for Their Own Crypto Moon.
In this case a One Million Dollar inter-office bet (if it’s real) between two developer friends.
https://youtu.be/EZfQ9YRtlmU
On Mujo’s link reference concluding sentence, realize that In Russia, the head of Sberbank seems to be talking about the new way of funding applications that the extremely glib and crypto-articulate young $1 million dollar bettor narrating my 6 minute link above is apparently basing his rather hefty bet on.
It’s not stupid, I think. Seems rather nifty, innovative and Russians and Chinese developers are both said to be top notch, so it is on my radar since about a year.
Do YOU feel “lucky”?
I don’t feel lucky enough to be on either side of that young man’s bet, but I am noticing it.
He seems to know what he is talking about. Confident young guy that puts some serious money where his mouth is???
And yes, I got my EOS DAC tokens as Mujo and anyone else that registered their EOS tokens would have also gotten them “airdropped”……but I can’t keep up with it all. I also got Bob’s Repair tokens airdropped,and there are more videos about more airdrops on the way than I can’t keep track of even reading what all those projects on the EOS platform are about. This MIGHT be as big as some of the you tubers Kyle, Clay, ….Oh, and Ivan on Tech from Sweden that offers a crypto course is BELORUSSIAN.
I found out by reading comments of someone that had more time than I had to follow the whole episode of Ivan on Tech.
He didn’t sound like a Swede to me!
With the BOB token I was told by email I had only a few hours to send them the MEW address I wanted to receive them into, or they would be forfeited. There was a link to click that was supposed to provide a way to get that info in, in minutes, to the right place. I clicked on it a half dozen times over several hours and NOTHING…….nada…..Zippo!
In the same email was a Telegram signup link to follow the chatting about the whole deadline process for claiming one’s BOB tokens. WTF….one more App crowding my smart phone screen……I signed up and joined the chatting……..It was full of people freaking out over the same thing, begging for help.
I refused to become a pathetic mendicant and join a whole chatting community of them wailinmg and gnashing their teeth, from all parts of the globe
Finally a Bob’s Repair tech joining the conversation said gridlock was being experienced and gave someone his email. I used it and told him, his link didn’t work for me for several HOURS.
He answered: “Send me your receive address, and I’ll take care of it for you.”
Not a smooth process, these airdrops. A bit hit or miss. A bunch more supposedly coming. Chaotic Early Days of internet 2.0 or whatever they call it
Oh. The Betting Developer linked above gives his reasons for betting a cool million on EOS $1000 per …..by Dec 31 2018. Got some last year under $4 or $3….can’t even remember what the price was then. Earlier people out there, maybe got a few hundred or thousands of EOS under a buck apiece………There are charts somewhere….but who cares?
I wish him luck……..LOL..
I’m still wrestling with the place all this plays in Freeing or Enslaving Humanity. It is certainly freeing up fundraising.
I’m Old School. I understand infrastructure and OBOR sinks the Sea Power Empire….but not 1/20 of the apps on my Android. I get along great without 95% of them.
I tried to buy another flip phone when mine disintegrated a few months ago. The ones with the little keyboard for texting were no longer available. It took me years to text. Then I saw the convenience and Resistance Became Futile. I guess this is the Technosphere Engulfing the Known Universe that Dmitri Orlov rails against.
The Art of Filtration and Deleting Becomes a Seriously Needed Skill.
Don’t let it get you down though. There’s more silver linings in all of this than you can shake a stick at.
