Oh the cafe has moved again. We do need to keep fleet footed and mobile in these times where we are being increasingly tracked everywhere all the time…… Facebook eliminated nearly 600 sites yesterday. This was advised by a CIA tentacle called Fireeye.
Patrick Wood’s Technocracy News and Trends is a good site to consult to keep up with the moves of the master spies. Link to an article.
https://www.technocracy.news/flashback-2012-the-atlantic-ties-facebook-directly-to-technocracy/
Facebook 2018 is a realization of Technocracy-in-action and was clearly defined in 2012 by The Atlantic Magazine. Furthermore, the tie to 1930s Technocracy is historically correct as advocating that “engineers and scientists would rule.” Google, Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, Amazon, etc., are all swimming in the same channel, striving for a Technocracy takeover of society.
T13 and Eimar- some responses are lingering in the last cafe with the pensive patron.

No the Magi folks publish some books and hang out in New York City last time I heard. They do not mix and mingle in regular astrological gatherings. They are very interested in fame, money and power and peoples whose natal charts reflect these. You can make your own conclusions.

It is very significant that Western astrology uses a fixed Ptolemeic point to establish the mastery of a mental construct not matched by correlation to the physical world to run a whole system. Robotics as a silicon based life form not in relationship but as masters over the minds and body of us mere mortal “organics”. Perhaps I am making a fanciful jump but these times require the realization of some very dreadful possibilities.
“Gulag Archipelago II” arrived today. I suppose it is time to face the 20th century with the Pyotrs of both “The Demons” and” Brothers Karamazov” coming back to Russia to roost for awhile as seen through different eyes.
To add to the dystopia present and future here’s a typically depressing piece from PCR:
“How this crisis plays out remains to be seen. It could result in the destruction of Western civilization. Will Dog eat dog? After Greece, will it be Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Australia, Canada, until none are left?”
Unless the first strike dial-a-nuke B61-12 neocon and neolib morons have their Armageddon frontier fundamentalist wish then at least self-sustaining Russia and China will prevail against the IMF zio weapon.

As the Hunt for Red October heats up in the last month of Summer (Aug 23-Sept 22) Neon Revolt does the same, in this frenetic article that continues the Red Shoe theme, concentrating on Arkansas.
You may have heard a little concerning a bizarre statue placed there just recently in front of the State Capitol, Little Rock, Arkansas.
A little “photo-enhancemen”: for y’all to get the picture:

An eloquent riposte to the ISIL apologist Bob Seely:
“23.08.2018
Embassy Press Officer’s reply to a media question concerning the article by the Conservative Party MP Bob Seely in the “Daily Telegraph”
Question: How would you comment on the article by the Conservative Party MP Bob Seely in the “Daily Telegraph” claiming that Russia is “buying some European states and bullying others”, making it “difficult for the EU to unite against Russia”?
Answer: Bob Seely’s article amounts to a manifesto of British russophobic circles. Such people tend to consider any social and economic phenomena in Europe through the lens of confrontation with the “aggressive Russia”.
It’s difficult to disprove Mr Seely’s arguments one by one as they contain too many twisted facts, unsubstantiated statements and undisguised manipulations. Yet, we would like to recall the main points. The so-called “annexation” of Crimea was a result of a free expression of will by the people of the peninsula in response to a coup d’etat in Kiev and a real risk of a civil war. “The war with Georgia” in 2008 started with a Georgian offensive, including against Russian peacekeepers. The claims about “mass killings in Syria” sound absurd when made by British politicians given their own government’s years-long indulgence towards terrorist groups in that country and against the background of Russia’s persistent efforts to help Syrians to return to a peaceful life. And, last but not least, Russia’s responsibility for poisoning Sergei and Yulia Skripal has not been proven either by the USA, or by Britain itself.
Anyway, another point is much more interesting. The Conservative MP is claiming that he is “not being anti-Russian, but pro-democracy”. But it looks like his understanding of democracy differs from ours. Mr Seely seems to think that not only the referendum in Crimea, but also the outcome of elections in the US, Austria and Italy, and economic cooperation between Russia and Germany, Turkey, Hungary, Greece and Cyprus are indicative of the Kremlin “achieving its disrupting aims” and thus something that goes against the interests of democracy.
At the same time Mr Seely states that the task of “Global Britain” is “to help align the US and Europe as well as the allies throughout the world for the mutual security of all”. Apparently, the idea of “Global Britain” is to make nations choose their leaders and conduct trade based not on their own preferences, but on the imaginary “security interests” defined in London and Washington in response to the non-existent “Russian threat”. Such policy is unlikely to have a future.”

Interesting that the ‘USA’ was placed before ‘Britain’ in the Skripal line above. One might wonder if there is meaning in that.
Surprise. Surprise. The early arrival of this cafe surprised me, as it seemed to surprise kinterra, whose comment is the only one at this time. I just noticed that kinterra is kin+terra; is she kin to the earth-terra, or related to terra-nam (name), with the 13 tag, another feminine aspect? Go, Love Bower, go!
I am trying to get into a conversational mode or mood by replying to comments that catch my eye or soul, in addition to blathering on in my usual way, which few, if any read; it’s ok, I mainly write for the spiritual exercise a la the Love Army and Bower, and secondarily for the intellectual discipline necessary to turn the world right side up.
With that in mind, I go back a step to the now archived cafe of the fine young woman, if you recall, to archive the ones that resonate with me, and I have not already commented on; they are both by Bro, that Cup Bearer of good and bad news.
@ Bro
You linked to an article in Lpac, with photos of Mueller and Hillary. I agree that the latter looks like a witch, but did you notice the bulged and darkened left cheek of Mueller; it looks like it’s been altered–is the message that he’s talking “tongue in cheek”? How these spooks like to play with pictures, numbers and names. I’m happy you support Donald; I do, too, with reservations, as I hope to explain.
I agree that the leftytards use “sex, family, money” to corrupt, a slight variation on the “sex, power, money” imperial triangle. I learned some new wrinkles in the Mueller, Manafort, Yanukovych, Cohen, soap opera from you. I had to chuckle at your “sex is where it’s at” meme which I’ve been bringing up forever; even if you’re only addressing the negative side of that truism.
I like your links to Serial Brain and Praying Medic and those in that vein, but they have quite limited vision and lack the big picture context. Q, Trump and Serial Brain are just playing their parts in a drama which is scripted at the top, and handed down to them. Same for all the other leading roles like Putin, Xi, Rouhani, etc. Listening to SB is like listening to an actor, with the dramatic voice, music and graphics resembling a movie in a theater; in fact, this is theater, which is intended to engross, entrance and misdirect us from what is really going on.
So what is really going on that the bosses at the top do not want us to see? The best two sources that I have for this are Brendon O’Connell and gang and Miles Mathis, who approach it from a contemporary and deep history analysis. The Empire’s con game and psychological operation can be penetrated and understood in its full context but very few do it because they have already been brainwashed from upbringing in this culture of lies, and from drinking too much of its kool-aid. This vineyard is making progress but still has not gone nearly far enough.
I think you get it, Bro, when you say things like: “Minimally it is a far more gripping movie than this lame, boring, long drawn out Russiagate through Sexgate and Moneygate yawner the Deep State has been running in every theater near you.” But it seems you have not yet connected those dots to Serial Brain, Q, Trump, Putin, China and their fellow actors. The Deep State is running movies in theaters that are far more extensive and deep than that.
I look at imperial propaganda like those Russian dolls embedded in each other. I see the US; if I open up the doll, Britain appears–then successively Israel, Russia, Rothschild, Talmudic Luciferianism, Spirits of the Air and ultimately the God of War Himself; or something like that; in other words a very big nested, infested picture with layers upon layers. What the Empire suspects, but cannot penetrate is the wholeness and holiness of what the Love Bower represents for me: the heart of love, protected by the Love Army and Government.
As you correctly say (imo): “Nothing to see here!”–except that is too limited in its scope. We need to take off the horse blinders and expand our analysis, lest we become horses’ asses and trained pets for empire unwittingly. I agree with your Red Shoes analogy, I think, but can we see that Praying Medic is just one of the minor players in this theater of distraction? Alex Jones is also a bit player, as are 99% of us who do not go all the way with tough love. Why? Because we’re too damn ignorant from the brainwashing and too frightened from our own inner demons.
If we had the brains and brawn, we’d view all of Brendon’s videos; yes, all of them; and also read Miles Mathis for confirmation. But nobody cares what I say, and why should they? Everyone has to follow their own yellow brick road, whether it’s paved with real gold bricks or cowardly yellow fake ones. Isn’t the road to hell paved with good intentions? Well, our intentions are always good, but they’re useless against the inventions of empire. I know you don’t agree that far with me, so let us kindly and courteously agree to disagree, and keep up the cafe conversation. Who knows where it will lead?
You are sometimes quite selectively perceptive as in your concluding remarks at the last cafe:
“You don’t want a wild, hysterical witchhunt. You want convictions based on solid evidence, and proper courtroom procedure….not hysteria. You want discernment, precision. And “If the shoe fits,”…. but it’s red…..my cautionary advice:
Don’t Wear It!
“Nothing to see here!” [are you being ironic?]
OK, one clue…..the red shoes symbolize blood. Bloody feet. What is bleeding??”
Yes, indeed, what is bleeding besides bleeding hearts and bloody feet? What is the only and most natural bleeding that humans experience? Hint: it occurs monthly, and in the love culture of our origins, happened in tune with moon; and was limited to our better halves; and alternated with ovulation in a communal context of communal sex. So you see, you spoke with more than good intentions when you agreed that “sex is where it’s at,” or as Shakes-her-spear observed: “thinking makes it so.”
Thanks, Bro, for your generous spirit of comaradarie, and always enlightening information.
Love, Dennis
Trump impeachment: Is it possible – and how would it play out?
Lindorff said sanctions would probably be continued because it is “good for US arms manufacturers” to have the “Russia threat” pushed as much as possible. Jatras was more pessimistic, however, suggesting that sanctions would not only continue but could “vastly intensify” if Trump was gone – and not only against Russia, but against “other designated adversaries like Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela—not for economic reasons but purely as a form of warfare”.
In fact, Jatras suggested that Pence in office could mean that a “major global conflict” would be almost “unavoidable” given Pence’s more traditional foreign policy views which are more in alignment with the pro-war establishment. It is possible too, he said, that Trump could even do something “reckless” regarding Iran “in a desperate bid to save himself”.
https://www.rt.com/usa/436688-trump-impeachment-cohen/
Pence is trump without the salesmanship. Period. The role of trump is to sell the zionazism that pence also represents, but lacks the personality to adequately sell. Even mccain is more saleable than pence. The guy, pence, is about as zionazi as it gets, with all the associated zionazi quisling xian fundy dovetailing dogma front and centre, but he would never be able to match trump’s showmanship and be even more reviled.
Seriously, who besides israelis, Catholic sex abstainers, closet gays, and white supremacists would vote for the critter? He is a freak.
The only good thing about mccain is that he was.
Thank god you are not a Trump groupie. Having said that, your constant reference to closet gays makes you a freak too.

One for those afear’d of China:
How China’s Mobile Ecosystems Are Making Banks Obsolete
https://dissidentvoice.org/2018/08/how-chinas-mobile-ecosystems-are-making-banks-obsolete/
“The US credit card system siphons off excessive amounts of money from merchants, who must raise their prices to cover this charge. In a typical $100 credit card purchase, only $97.25 goes to the seller. The rest goes to banks and processors. But who can compete with Visa and MasterCard?
It seems China’s new mobile payment ecosystems can. According to a May 2018 article in Bloomberg titled “Why China’s Payment Apps Give U.S. Bankers Nightmares”:
The future of consumer payments may not be designed in New York or London but in China. There, money flows mainly through a pair of digital ecosystems that blend social media, commerce and banking—all run by two of the world’s most valuable companies. That contrasts with the U.S., where numerous firms feast on fees from handling and processing payments. Western bankers and credit-card executives who travel to China keep returning with the same anxiety: Payments can happen cheaply and easily without them.
The nightmare for the US financial industry is that a major technology company – whether one from China or a US giant such as Amazon or Facebook – might replicate the success of the Chinese mobile payment systems, cutting banks out.
According to John Engen, writing in American Banker in May 2018, China processed a whopping $12.8 trillion in mobile payments in the first ten months of 2017. Today even China’s street merchants don’t want cash. Payment for everything is with a phone and a QR code (a type of barcode). More than 90 percent of Chinese mobile payments are run through Alipay and WeChat Pay, rival platforms backed by the country’s two largest internet conglomerates, Alibaba and Tencent Holdings. Alibaba is the Amazon of China, while Tencent Holdings is the owner of WeChat, a messaging and social-media app with more than a billion users.
Alibaba created Alipay in 2004 to let millions of potential customers who lacked credit and debit cards shop on its giant online marketplace. Alipay is free for smaller users of its platform. As total monthly transactions rise, so does the charge; but even at its maximum, it’s less than half what PayPal charges — around 1.2 percent. Tencent Holdings similarly introduced its payments function in 2005 in order to keep users inside its messaging system longer. The American equivalent would be Amazon and Facebook serving as the major conduits for US payments.
WeChat and Alibaba have grown into full-blown digital ecosystems – around-the-clock hubs for managing the details of daily life. WeChat users can schedule doctor appointments, order food, hail rides and much more through “mini-apps” on the core app. Alipay calls itself a “global lifestyle super-app” and has similar functions. Both have flourished by making mobile payments cheap and easy to use. Consumers can pay for everything with their mobile apps and can make person-to-person payments. Everyone has a unique QR code, and transfers are free. Users don’t need to sign into a bank or payments app when transacting. They simply press the “pay” button on the ecosystem’s main app and their unique QR code appears for the merchant to scan. Engen writes:
A growing number of retailers, including McDonald’s and Starbucks, have self-scanning devices near the cash register to read QR codes. The process takes seconds, moving customers along so quickly that anyone using cash gets eye-rolls for slowing things down.
Merchants that lack a point-of-sale device can simply post a piece of paper with their QR code near the register for customers to point their phones’ cameras at and execute payments in reverse.
A system built on QR codes might not be as secure as the near-field communication technology used by ApplePay and other apps in the U.S. market. But it’s cheaper for merchants, who don’t have to buy a piece of technology to accept a payment.
The mobile payment systems are a boon to merchants and their customers, but local bankers complain that they are slowly being driven out of business. Alipay and WeChat have become a duopoly that is impossible to fight. Engen writes that banks are often reduced to “dumb pipes” – silent funders whose accounts are used to top up customers’ digital wallets. The bank bears the compliance and other account-related expenses, and it does not get the fees and branding opportunities typical of cards and other bank-run options. The bank is seen as a place to deposit money and link it to WeChat or Alipay. Bankers are being “disintermediated” – cut out of the loop as middlemen.
If Amazon, Facebook or one of their Chinese counterparts duplicated the success of China’s mobile ecosystems in the US, they could take $43 billion in merchant fees from credit card companies, processors and banks, along with about $3 billion in bank fees for checking accounts. In addition, there is the potential loss of money market deposits, which are also migrating to the mobile ecosystem duopoly in China. In 2017, Alipay’s affiliate Yu’e Bao surpassed JPMorgan Chase’s government market fund as the world’s largest money market fund, with more than $200 billion in assets. Engen quotes one financial services leader who observes, “The speed of migration to their wealth-management and money-market funds has been tremendous. That’s bad news for traditional banks, where deposits are the foundation of the business.”
An Amazon-style mobile ecosystem could challenge not only the payments system but the lending business of banks. Amazon is already making small-business loans, finding ways to cut into banks’ swipe-fee revenue and competing against prepaid card issuers; and it evidently has broader ambitions. Checking accounts, small business credit cards and even mortgages appear to be in the company’s sites.”

“While China and Korea see over 50% of their societies adopting cashless payments, Japan’s rate of adoption stands at relatively meager 19%. In a marked effort to catch up, the FSA and Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) embarked upon a FinTech growth strategy last year to promote cashless payments, targeting a 40% adoption rate within a decade.”

It’s early morning here, and I feel like a kid on Christmas morning, knowing that Baby Jesus has been born and Santa Clause has come during the night. Why this reverie? Today marks a new week in the Love Year, and a new set of seven weeks, the Light week. And lo and behold, when I creep downstairs in my memory, the Christmas lights are on, and under the lit up and decorated tree are colorfully wrapped presents.
Light is one of the seven fundamental properties of the physical world, the sixth out of seven: number, time, space, form, life, Light and sound. Light is the physical manifestation of dancing, radiating and spinning photons, the smallest units of light that we know of, having the strange characters of wave and particle. A 21 line poem starts the new Light week, as follows:
***
Sixth Line in Seven Levels
LIGHT
A crystal rainbow tower
Stands tall for all to see
Scattering light like mist
From an overflowing fountain
Fulfilling an ancient covenant
Of everlasting beauty
Written from earth to sky
A cathedral of inner vision
It floods the countryside
With sparkling gifts
For flowers and trees alike
I stand in wonder
That I passed this way before
And missed its radiant presence
I unfold my petals
And make myself a vine
To climb this cathedral
Through the glowing hues
I scale the joyful frequencies
Winding my way inward
Toward the source of light

Regarding cashless money and artificial intelligence, I agree with the man who said robots are coming, and the best we can do is to maintain our humanity and use the new technologies to enhance our lives. However, the catch is that the inhumane forces of evil have other plans for us: as slaves to serve them. The best that I can do is to be human myself, and to resist the haters of humanity with the methods available to me. We Vineyarders are doing this but we must continually improve our game while there is still time. Go, Cafe. go!

“This does not make sense. Before his election Trump had no lever of power to do any good. He therefore couldn’t have been elected on that basis.”
I was making the case for Trump being a nationalist, which appealed to enough voters to make him president, not about having power to do good. Am I missing something? If voters wanted a nationalist, would that not imply some power to do good?
“I was making the case for Trump being a nationalist”

@ Pence is Coming & vot tak & Anonymous
“it is “good for US arms manufacturers” to have the “Russia threat” pushed as much as possible.” Truer words are hardly spoken. War mongrels and profiteers need enemies fighting each other, so they can supply both sides.
Trump is an unstable asset for the deepers, while Pence seems more stable for war. I think Trump has the US military behind him, who only want war when it cannot be avoided; I don’t think they trust over-hawkish pols like Hillary and probably Pence; hence, a contributing factor in Trump’s election. The “never-trumper” impeachers are driven by fear and power needs, Anger Babies for the most part.
“Seriously, who besides israelis, Catholic sex abstainers, closet gays, and white supremacists would vote for the critter? He is a freak.” (vot tak). Perhaps Pence is, but that’s speculation.
“Having said that, your constant reference to closet gays makes you a freak too.” (Anonymous to vot tak). You’re pushing it; surprised it passed muster.
@ Bro 93 and Kent
The pictures of Hillary are God-awful; they make the point, but I can’t go that far down on her. After all, doesn’t she also have a soul, and at least a spark of goodness? Perhaps she’s being used for something we are not aware of.
Not that I would want to go to bed with her, but Jesus said to love my enemies; likely their soul; and they say he went down to hell to rescue the likes of Hillary; or more bluntly according to Dylan, who implies that even the Hillary’s must be loved:
I can dress up your wounds
With a blood-clotted rag
I ain’t afraid to make love
To a bitch or a hag
If you see me comin’
And you’re standing there
Wave your handkerchief
In the air
I ain’t dead yet
My bell still rings
I keep my fingers crossed
Like them early Roman kings
I can strip you of life
Strip you of breath
Ship you down
To the house of death
One day
You will ask for me
There’ll be no one else
That you’ll wanna see

A very powerful set of photographs of sites of atrocities by Franco regime during Spanish Civil War. Not sure if the Spanish people to this day have come to grips with this massive historical stain. A large number of Spanish institutions have a record of involvement.
Franco aligned spain with the Nazis on the Eastern Front by sending the Spanish Blue Division but it was not significant; and of course, Guernica will always stand as an atrocity against humanity.
Franco of course enjoyed US support post WW II in the name of anti-communism, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Photos are indeed powerful:

For those interested in astrology: A very good example of a skilled astrologer,Gianpaulo Dicocco, who uses many techniques ( solar arcs, eclipses, depositions as well as planetary signs and houses) to address one man’s natal chart. He addresses the question of Pope Francis–the roots of the child abuse scandal.
Let me make it clear that one could have a chart like this and work all these very heavy initial energies in the direction of self purification for no matter how dismal a natal chart can be it starts to change the minute after birth and there are always many forks and twists and turns along any person’s road of life. but it does not appear that this Pope ever took the high road during these crossroad moments.
yes, it may well be that there are other charges to be added to those currently on the docket of the Heavenly court, but then we may never know.

Yes, but I think peace will prevail and it is being dealt with.
Imagine this: You’re a mid-sized environment nonprofit with less than a dozen staff, and you disburse grants worth $8 million. Then, you go into a meeting asking for $5 million, and a government official says, “How about $444 million?”

(I thought … Peter Cook & Dudley Moore … “funny … funny”)
With the dramatic change of Australia’s prime minister, this dramatic story itself has gone by the wayside and the press (MSM) ceased reporting about this just prior to the leadership challenge.
Always look independently for ’cause and effect’, for which this is a good example.
Well, well, well.
Bolton Slams Nord Stream 2 Project, Offers EU Israeli Gas, US LNG
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201808241067454243-bolton-eu-russian-gas/
“The US national security advisor presented several solutions for the EU and Ukraine to reduce their dependency on Russian gas. Namely he offered these countries to buy it from Israel or import liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the US.
This idea was also earlier voiced by the US president himself. Trump claimed after talks with the EU Commission’s president, Jean-Claude Juncker, that Europe would start buying US LNG in exchange for Washington lifting tariffs against European goods. Juncker later noted that Europe would start buying LNG from the US if it was priced more competitively.”
The reason for the zionazi-gay objection to Nord Stream made clear. Replacing Russian gas with american LNG is a figleaf, it’s not really economic. But replacing Russian gas with israeli gas is potentially economically viable, if the Russians can be excluded from competing. The pindo sanctions intended to try and stop the sales of Russian gas are in reality a strategy to level the field to addict Europe to israeli gas instead.
But seriously, what else would one expect from israel’s american colonials? Especially the likud oriented quislings in the trump colonial regime. Including, and especially trump.
I’m curious as to the source of israeli gas-I have not followed in detail the drilling activity in the golan heights but it is possible that gas could be supplied from that activity now or in the future.
Syria (and the Russians) would certainly have something to say about that.
“Syria (and the Russians) would certainly have something to say about that.”
The opposite is the truth.
Here’s the stitchup between the Russians and Israelis https://twitter.com/israel_mid_ru/status/1020669041374089217
“On July 20,#Shoigu,Russian Minister of Defence,held 📞conversation w/ @AvigdorLiberman,Defence Minister of #Israel. The sides discussed 🇷🇺🇮🇱coop b/w defence departments+exchanged views on situation in southwest #Syria &other topical issues of regional security in #MiddleEast”
On the previous day they provided this https://twitter.com/israel_mid_ru/status/1020297330166325249
“Amb.#Viktorov to Rossiya 24 TV Channel: #Russia and #Israel reached understanding of how #Syria territories, adjacent to Israel, will look like for Israel. There are specific agreements. Such negotiations are held to mutual satisfaction of parties”
I think the point here is that Syria has never conceded the illegal occupation of golan by israel;, nor has Russia.
If Israel starts exporting gas from golan drilling activity, all bets would seem to be off. Your tweets simply reflect that for now, the status quo on both sides of the border are agreed. But the statement by Ryabkov (link) clearly affirms that the status quo will not be altered by israel-it does not deal at all with the export of gas from the golan:
https://www.fort-russ.com/2018/08/israels-strategic-collapse-how-putin-sandbagged-netanyahu/
“Russia has stated publicly that it is interested in both Iran and Israel’s strategic interests.”
But who does it ever actually act against ?
https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/israel-says-informed-russia-ahead-large-scale-strike-in-syria-1.6074719
“Israel forewarned Russia of its strikes on Thursday against multiple targets in Syria, an Israeli military spokesman said.
“The Russians were informed prior to our attack by the established mechanisms that we have,” Lieutenant-Colonel Jonathan Conricus told reporters without elaborating.
Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman also said on Thursday he hoped the latest round of violence with Iran on the Syrian frontier was over, after Israel has hit “almost all of the Iranian infrastructure in Syria”.
Iranian forces in Syria had launched a rocket attack on Israeli army bases in the Golan Heights early on Thursday, Israel said, prompting one of the heaviest Israeli barrages in Syria since the conflict there began in 2011.”
So, Russia now has exclusive rights to produce oil and Gas in Syria https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Russia-Is-Taking-Over-Syrias-Oil-And-Gas.html
“Russia has been keen on increasing its foothold in Iraqi Kurdistan (Rosneft, Gazprom Neft), tapping into Lebanon’s offshore gas (NOVATEK), and having a bigger say in Eastern Mediterranean affairs in general. For that, taking over Syria’s oil and gas sector might be a very powerful, non-military, tool.”
Based on the embassy move, it seems the following is likely to happen sooner than later https://www.timesofisrael.com/house-scraps-proposal-for-us-recognition-of-israeli-sovereignty-in-golan-heights/
“Speaking to the Reuters news agency, Katz said recognition of Israel’s hold over the territory was “topping the agenda” in talks with Washington.
“This is the perfect time to make such a move,” said Katz, who is also transportation minister and a member of the government’s security cabinet. “The most painful response you can give the Iranians is to recognize Israel’s Golan sovereignty — with an American statement, a presidential proclamation.””
There is no hint that the Russian / Israeli discussions included anything other than the mutual satisfaction of the two parties involved.
Zionist entity scrambling is wishful thinking only.
“I’m curious as to the source of israeli gas-I have not followed in detail the drilling activity in the golan heights but it is possible that gas could be supplied from that activity now or in the future.”
The eastern Med. has quite an energy store. From Egypt to Turkey, there are major discovered deposits. Likely there is a lot more still not discovered, or made known publicly. The israelis want it all, naturally, and this fuels a lot of their expansion aggression against Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, and Egypt, beyond that of their older greater israel strategy (yinon plan being a well known blueprint).
The bolton statement about europe importing gas from israel, instead of Russia, is the first time that I have heard one of these zionazis actually state publicly what is becoming rather obvious about israeli geopolitical energy strategy.
This link provides some info of energy deposits in the east Med.

What?? Again??? After awhile it just gets old
https://www.rt.com/news/436812-syria-chemical-weapons-provocation/
Then, people start thinking the unthinkable:
https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/russian-official-suggests-deploying-nuclear-weapons-in-syria-to-respond-to-us-sanctions/
From the second article:
The ‘Syria, Assad’s chemical attack’ memes is so imprinted on the general public by the msm stenographers that it still has considerable mileage left.
Besides it doesn’t really matter what the public believes, the Hegemon will do as it pleases. It just needs that script and whether it is false or not is of no consequence to it -or so it thinks.
Consequently what is dangerous is the possibility of more global conflict now that ISIL et al are bottled up in parts of Syria and the probability of clashes between Israel/USA plus its vassal partners such as the UK/France/Saudi against Russia if the latter is pushed too far or someone makes an intemperate decision.

https://youtu.be/S79g3G_hYzM Why the Trump Presidency Is a Sinking Ship.
First time I ever watched Jake. And he makes some serious mistakes, IMHO. Later on that, time permitting.But Jake is just a purist. Don’t we wish a few of them could rise to a position of power??
But his sort of tempering of Trumpers is the cold shower the blindly enthusiastic and hopeful American electorate will need to make it possible for a more principled man with a more principled past to be elected president in future years…….
Meanwhile, politics is “The Art of the Possible” and I continue to view DJT as not only a proven wrecking ball of HRC ……..and possibly the DNC…only half accomplished at this point….but going well……but quite a bit more potentially….before he goes down or out. Which EVIL….the purist Jake (who I agree with on principle but differ with on some details of who HE considers good…..), bless his soul, is in no position to…let us admit, “demolish”….wrecking ball fashion…. himself!!
Not even remotely, compared to a DJT, who just might…possibly…..NO GUARANTEE……do some good for the world besides wrecking rotten structures opposing him…(for purely egoic reasons??? or maybe NOT??)…maybe he does love something about his country besides….it being the arena for him “winning”….in business and politics….and he somehow manages to “up his game”…….before he meets HIS Maker.
That possibility should not yet be foreclosed, IMHO.
In the comments, this one kind of sums up my assessment of the utility and impurity of DJT:
From Robby Cutt….18 hours ago:
“You can lecture Trump supporters about blindly following him, and generally I tend to agree with you. What bothers me about all of this is everything Trump is getting nailed to the wall over is the same shit every other sleaze ball in the god forsaken district has done for the past 50 years. The difference is they finally decided since he wasn’t gunna play ball they would finally start doing their jobs, media included… except they went overboard and are in totally authoritarian mode..
And all these retarded masses who decided at some point in 2016 to finally start being politically active are too god damn ignorant to realize that all of these charges are targeted, and in Manifort’s case it has nothing to do with Trump at all, and fucking Tony Podesta got immunity for the EXACT SAME CHARGES!!!
This is a god damn witch hunt, and the only reason I will continue to defend trump is because I think it is bull shit that all of these establishment asshole all of a sudden have some sort of ethical compass now that they realize there is a tornado feet away from their house of cards.
I get it, you don’t like trump. Many people don’t, a lot of his supports don’t. This isn’t about trump, and it never has been. This is about a wrecking ball to the system that has been hollowing this country out for 50+ years.”
My own thoughts, almost precisely. Take what you can get. Then try to take even higher ground with better leadership, in the next phase following. Don’t complain that there have been NO gains…..when HRC going down was, in fact, a HUGE gain for all of humanity.

@ Bro 93
“You’ll be puzzled by this post, and that’s good.” The first thing I’m puzzled about is Jake of Blackstone’s opening statement that it’s August 24th of 2014, when it’s 2018. A simple mistake? Or a veiled message that Jake is fake?
I didn’t listen to the video; taking your summary at face value. I agree with your assessment of Trump, up to a point. This drama surrounding Donald is constantly shifting but it is riveting the world’s attention like nothing else, keeping us on the edge of our seats, as a good dramatic book or action movie should.
What interests me is what is not being addressed or noticed. I am of the opinion that the news we are being fed by mainstream and alternative outlets alike is fake, a cover for something else that hides in the shadows. I think Trump, Putin, Xi, Rouhani, Bibi and all the leaders are actors, following (more or less) a script given to them by the unidentified bosses.
If I use this as a guideline, the dramatics begin to make sense. A good method is the follow the money, since money is now the real God of the world, along with the other two sides of the triumvirate: power and ___, the ultimate disturber of peace, which may not be mentioned in a pure vineyard, due to its fear provoking nature.
I always look for your comments because they are unusually candid and personal. Trump is a rare black swan event who elicits wildly different responses, sort of like certain subjects at this cafe; but then like Jesus, he is a sign of contradiction. As a wit remarked, the world has become so fake and fictional, that the only way to tell the truth is now through fiction–which I attempt in a quite crude way with the Count Khazar episodes.
I find it quite fascinating and intellectually and spiritually stimulating; as I think you do too. Keep on exploring and probing those dark and light crannies of this unfolding mystery and morality play. Cheers.
Your rhymes are getting tiresome, juvenile.
He has some points, Jake. Quite a few more than you do, in fact.
First comes the substance of the points. Not whether you can rhyme his name to a negative adjective.
Any fool can fool can do that.
It’s OK..to have a little fun…….if you first address the serious points. But you almost never do.
Perhaps the stolen child of Yeats had a happier fate than that awaiting the child today …
The Stolen Child
W. B. Yeats, 1865 – 1939
Where dips the rocky highland
Of Sleuth Wood in the lake,
There lies a leafy island
Where flapping herons wake
The drowsy water rats;
There we’ve hid our faery vats,
Full of berrys
And of reddest stolen cherries.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.
Where the wave of moonlight glosses
The dim gray sands with light,
Far off by furthest Rosses
We foot it all the night,
Weaving olden dances
Mingling hands and mingling glances
Till the moon has taken flight;
To and fro we leap
And chase the frothy bubbles,
While the world is full of troubles
And anxious in its sleep.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.
Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above Glen-Car,
In pools among the rushes
That scarce could bathe a star,
We seek for slumbering trout
And whispering in their ears
Give them unquiet dreams;
Leaning softly out
From ferns that drop their tears
Over the young streams.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.
Away with us he’s going,
The solemn-eyed:
He’ll hear no more the lowing
Of the calves on the warm hillside
Or the kettle on the hob
Sing peace into his breast,
Or see the brown mice bob
Round and round the oatmeal chest.
For he comes, the human child,
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than he can understand.
