Very good in depth explanation of geo engineering (Chemtrails).
Good thing ioan’s cafe is serving some stiff drinks to soften the blow a bit.
Cheers,
k
The real purpose of chemtrails (aerosols of metal particles in the atmosphere) is to block solar radiation and cool the planet.
Unfortunately, the more greenhouse gases we produce, the warmer the planet, and the more aerosols we need.
How’s that for a paradox? Damned if we spray chemtrails, and damned if we don’t.
Global war = global Warming.
Are there any signs that the war against the people of our planet is “letting up”, yet?
This is the brutal truth: the goal really is to make our earth hotter than Unholy Hell. The Sun stands ready to assist –talk about being above human policies and laws!
whoops the link is here.

Hello to the European Union. Grandson of the Nazi Tusk lied about concentration camps
In three months, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk will take over the leadership of the European Council in Brussels and will be chair of the eurozone summits. That is, the Polish leader will now be the main European, and now his turn to tell the whole world about the high, humane and universal values, and at the same time
teaching the lives of everyone who is not in the European Union, but somewhere nearby.
Donald Tusk himself, a historian by education, in his pre-election speeches repeatedly told about his family and proudly reported that “both his grandfathers for resistance to the Nazis were sent to concentration camps.” Including paternal grandfather Joseph Tusk.
However, in reality everything turned out to be somewhat different. As it was found out in the Berlin archives, the grandfather of the current EU President Donald Tusk Joseph Tusk in 1944 served in the reserve units of the SS. Moreover, he signed up voluntarily, for ideological reasons, into the punitive detachments of Heinrich Himmler. And, judging by the photograph, Joseph Tusk also visited the groups of the BD, which were involved in the search for and arrest of Jews in Poland, who were sent to concentration camps.
In the photo, Joseph Tusk himself – grandfather of the current head of the European Council. Photo of 1939.
“This image is provided by the German Federal Archives (Deutsches Bundesarchiv) as part of a cooperation project. The German Federal Archives guarantees the authenticity of the image, using only the originals.” The name of the photo “Verhaftung von Juden” is the arrest of the Jews. This group, apparently, was looking for Jews in Gdansk and its surroundings and sent to concentration camps.
It would seem, well, there was the grandfather of Tusk, an SS-man and a Nazi, well, he participated in punitive operations, well, he admired Hitler and ideologically supported fascism. So what? That’s right, children for fathers, and even more so for grandfathers, are not responsible. But in the story of Donald Tusk, the matter is different. In a lie In order to take the next elected post, the current head of the EU openly and publicly lied that both his grandfathers were sent by the Nazis to concentration camps.
I wonder how now the head of the European Council, Donald Tusk, will look into the eyes of former prisoners of concentration camps, real prisoners, with whom he will have to meet at various events of the European Union? And what European values will Polish Prime Minister Tusk tell to ignorant humanity asking uncomfortable questions? About grandfather, for example. And about the lie.

Nice study, ioan. The angle of the shading indicates you may be – but not necessarily – left-handed.
Thanks Dimitar, I’m only right-handed.
DaVinči’s drawings show how a left hander would shade. Few of us have that discipline. Your cafe drawings are a great series, congratulations.
I’ve seen this one before, it’s gorgeous!
Did you ever consider the idea of a postcard book?
Yes, I am thinking on many things including the postcard book, but I tell you my friends clearly : have no material craft for that. I am able to do all the other things, from drawing to the final file ready to be printed. A lot of ideas and works in my pocket and I must get rid of them (I’m not married and have no children, time has gone so quick as the liquor down the gauntlet) Lack of resources is the irony of making art. If someone is really interested, you can have my email address from Webmaster.

A few Cafes back I posted a video presented by Alexei Navalny concerning the secret mansion of the Russian prime minister. The story of this mansion may be real, but anyone thinking and linking that Navalny is a possible candidate for any kind of Russian leadership role of a Russian patriotic nature is absolutely wrong.
Navalny is okay, in my book if he stays low profile in opposition.
Could Navalny have stood before the UNGA , the united nations general assembly and stated “What have you done!”. I very much doubt it. Leaders are very often very rich people, but if they lead their countries patriotically, then they are surely worth what they think they need, within reason.
Here are some sober links related to this topic …
What does Russian “opposition leader” Alexei Navalny represent?
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2018/01/09/nava-j09.html
… extract “The petition sponsored by the KRT is an attempt to control popular anger, as the Russian ruling elite fears a social explosion over the effects of the pension reform. For similar reasons, the right-wing leader of the so called liberal opposition, Alexei Navalny, announced that he would organize rallies against the reform starting July 1. In reality, Navalny’s program is entirely hostile to the working class. He speaks for political and social forces that are responsible for capitalist restoration and are now seeking closer collaboration with US imperialism.’
(extracted from … Outrage in Russia over pension reform)
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2018/06/21/rpen-j21.html
It would have been better to explain properly why this reform is necessary with details and not bring it to light on the first day of the World Cup soccer matches. People are not stupid and the pension reform will have long term problems until properly addressed. Being sneaky is not the way forward and this sneakiness will be not be forgotten. The Russian Federation has made one huge mistake here.
“It would have been better to explain properly why this reform is necessary”
That does not compute.
How can it be better to explain how something that is totally unnecessary is necessary at any time (World Cup bullsh*t aside).
The only way to explain it is as a measure to either maintain or further enrich the Plutocracy which is something they will never say.
… I was approaching this fiasco softly-softly, but you already know the hard-hitting truth … and observe how the church and opposition parties are not making any information available through any overall economic explanations. Perhaps the country will in due course, revert to a Soviet style economy where people are appreciated !
A Soviet economy was able to do, for many decades, what this Federation is unwilling to do, and at a time when the economy is improved and better able, due to progress in technology and all thing being progressive … obviously there is criminal collusion operating at the highest levels.
Agree with all of that Paul and I would wish similar for everyone (not just Russians or those of the former USSR). Unfortunately, however, there are too many halfwits supporting their own demise so, I am not hopeful.
There can be no doubt now that Q is an insider as close to power as you can get.
There is too much proof to deny it.
If all Q discloses is true (and I believe it is) then the world has changed utterly.
Everything public analysts are writing now is redundant because power has shifted. The deep state is being deconstructed. They are in survival mode, hence the lack of US military adventures. Foreign politicians have had to take the lead for the bad guys and are lying just as badly.
This new reality has to become part of the analysis or it is wrong. I’ve read many articles lately which ignore this and as a consequence they’re not worth reading imo.
The incredible thing is that the US military appear to be the white hats.
No really.

I don’t think we can hold the current administration responsible for the sins of past ones.
Nor can we expect it to snap it’s fingers and undo all the evil.
I predict we will be lauding Mr Trump one day who is attempting to do what JFK promised all those years ago.
Most people on this site know who and what the problem is. Few if any have the guts and the resources to do something about it.
Slagging off Mr Trump comes automatically to seemingly everyone while he risks all on a daily basis against history’s most formidable enemy.
“I predict we will be lauding Mr Trump one day who is attempting to do what JFK promised all those years ago.”
JFK had a fair measure of responsibility in the murder of millions of Vietnamese http://www.socialist.ca/node/1992.
You wish for more of the same.
You wish for more of the same.
Is this a question or a statement?
If it’s a question, you forgot the question mark!
But what has changed? And if the state does not change its approach, or its philosophy, or its behavior towards others (i.e, stop shooting them or making trade wars, or color revolutions), have some manners and start negotiating, then, they are continuing with the sins of the past ones are they not? The US people always want to forget the history – they have such short memories of their own deeds. Some of the rest of the world remembers the history – ever heard of ‘legacy’? And if the current legacy continues, must the whole world change for the next one?
Anyway … Here is someone that is beginning to unravel the size of the problem.

Perhaps the whole get-up is so dysfunctional that self-interest dictates that responsibility periodically rears its head, from quarters where one would least suspect. Why else would Peter Dale Scott in one of his later works state that he sees hopes in executive actions of Bush 43 and Obama. (this was obviously before the time of Trump)

Hello Little Black Duck !
All Q discloses is true, but manifest by evil. I’ve tried to hint at this dichotomy many times, from different angles, in varying ways, through poetry, to which such a fantastic phenomena lends itself. Deserted by muse and the two other mainstays of my life alike, my first sentence in this paragraph is the best I can do, and prompted only by the necessity of people having a shot at getting to grips with “a new reality”, before it gets massive. People need to get their heads around this, we’re still at the tip of the iceberg stage, it’s a phase thing, a softening up process.
Poet in absentia,
Ras
Please Raskolnikov, serve the muses with a cup of wine…Waiter ! Please bring some good wine for Raskolnikov and his muses ! the Spirit must live and create !
G’day Ras,
It will be interesting indeed how the unbelievers accept the new true.
We do have to acknowledge that we could end up with a different pack of wolves in a different set of woollens.
The most predictable outcome you might say.
I have some faith and great hope that it is not so.
This may inspire the absent poet.

Hello Little Black Duck, I have talks to the ducks by the still waters of the canal, they do ruffle their feathers in response and have the nice feelings of the sun on them, and have contentment. The same with the pale grey stork in the shallows and waiting, he does appreciate words of kindness, and goes on with the standing on one leg with silence for a fish catching.
I am not with dread with the thoughts of big evil and the Q, the new woolens on will look nice, and being knitted now they are, the winter woollies, very soft, perfect fit, but I will not speak like to the animals to Q, because the wolf in the sheeps woolens the seeing eyes see, is bad, with goodness for sale.
With thank you for midnight oil, and wine for the spirit of me from ioan.
I like you and your way of expressing yourself. I hope you continue to speak.

Much better question would be : “to whom listens the Donald ?”
End Quote
Could perhaps, be interested in your own, plausible, answer.
It’s not an easy task. From the first day when Donald had been elected president, I said that being a Gemini, he shall ride two horses, he does that, alternating the two saddles, according to his objectives : that means, he is paying attention to the strings pulled from his back after consulting his various advisers from the field of business, internal policy, external policy and military. Is he independent ? not at all, which president was ? as we know, the influence of bankers and business people (and of course, after ww2 the military-industrial complex – as Eisenhower very well noted) has the greatest impact and as such, influence, over the head of the country. I think we can say, these people are in fact choosing the president. In the US elections, money has always had a big word, big money means power and influence. Add to this the dollar based system which gave the US a stunning monopoly over the entire banking and market in the world and you have the answer : the Donald (being himself a business man) is not eager at all to give away this system and sunk America (sic) into a second or a third hand “partner”. By “making America great again” actually he himself said the truth. That means, he will not seek to weaken the principles of the status-quo, otherwise he would be put on trial by those who created the system itself and sent into jail with great fanfare in the media. I think that the system itself is such (Evil Empire) that they don’t trust any president (even if they put them in the chair), traps and cages are already prepared for them (presidents) in case they try to go on their own feet. A president must obey, though publicly it may look pretty different. The greatest Theater is the politics.
ioan, that is an interesting base for future reference & comment thereon.
Presently, i’m not quite sure why you, seem to, differentiate the MIC pre/post WW2. Would you, for example, largely disagree with any assertion that Nazi Germany was Financed by the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England e.g. https://www.globalresearch.ca/history-of-world-war-ii-nazi-germany-was-financed-by-the-federal-reserve-and-the-bank-of-england/5530318
“Presently, I’m not quite sure why you, seem to, differentiate the MIC pre/post WW2. ” – this is the first part of your question (for the second part regarding the financing by Fed on Nazi Germany I will come back later).
– I made a difference indeed. But, we can go further back to 1940 when the cards were really shown. That is the time of the Battle for England (how they call it in history books). Prime minister Churchill was very decided to implicate USA in the war against Germany – not that those in Washington and New York were so reluctant – and this insistence had been harvested one year later with Pearl Harbor. For that to happen, it was needed the stupidity (or complicity) of the German Nazis to declare war against USA. (What lies behind that decision is still to be researched by historians – being the second greatest mistake done by the Nazis, after Barbarossa). The plan put on stage in the City of London, made a good hearing in the USA, mostly among the industrial patrons, which – obviously – saw the great “challenge” to make a huge profit by war. This had a huge impact on the military industrial sector and all others related to the war production. At the end of the war, this military-industrial complex has grown and expanded so much, made so much profit, that now (1945-46) those corporations have gain a significant power over the state, which cannot be contested anymore (that’s why Eisenhower said what he said about the dangers behind that – he himself couldn’t do anything, leaving his office with this observation for the coming presidents who may have the capacity or will, or courage to deal with it) As we know, JFK knew what is at stake, he tried to balance (unsuccessfully). The lesson : a president must obey.
As for the second question, let me give a short intro : even Hitler was undone by various background factors and mislead, though we’ve been taught exactly the opposite, as being the “super” dictator. In fact, Stalin had much more real power than this man in Germany.
“I made a difference indeed. But, we can go further back to 1940 when the cards were really shown.”
It does therefore seem that you discount to zero Yuri Rubtsov’s globalresearch interwar description, some of which is:
1st: from 1919 to 1924 — to prepare the ground for massive American financial investment in the German economy;
2nd: from 1924 to 1929 — the establishment of control over the financial system of Germany and financial support for national socialism;
3rd: from 1929 to 1933 — provoking and unleashing a deep financial and economic crisis and ensuring the Nazis come to power;
4th: from 1933 to 1939 — financial cooperation with the Nazi government and support for its expansionist foreign policy, aimed at preparing and unleashing a new World War.”
…[]…
As a result, in 1929, German industry was in second place in the world, but it was largely in the hands of America’s leading financial-industrial groups.
“Interessen-Gemeinschaft Farbenindustrie”, the main supplier of the German war machine, financed 45% of the election campaign of Hitler in 1930, and was under the control of Rockefeller “Standard oil”. Morgan, through “General Electric”, controlled the German radio and electrical industry via AEG and Siemens (up to 1933, 30% of the shares of AEG owned “General Electric”) through the Telecom company ITT — 40% of the telephone network in Germany.
In addition, they owned a 30% stake in the aircraft manufacturing company “Focke-Wulf”. “General Motors”, belonging to the DuPont family, established control over “Opel”. Henry Ford controlled 100% of the shares of “Volkswagen”. In 1926, with the participation of the Rockefeller Bank “Dillon, Reed & Co.” the second largest industrial monopoly in Germany after “I.G Farben” emerged — metallurgical concern “Vereinigte Stahlwerke” (Steel trust) Thyssen, Flick, Wolff, Feglera etc.
American cooperation with the German military-industrial complex was so intense and pervasive that by 1933 the key sectors of German industry and large banks such as Deutsche Bank, Dresdner Bank, Donat Bank etc were under the control of American financial capital.
…[]…
It was through Smith’s circle of acquaintances Hitler was first introduced to Ernst Franz Sedgwick Hanfstaengl (Putzie), a graduate of Harvard University who played an important role in the formation of A. Hitler as a politician, rendered him significant financial support, and secured him the acquaintance and communication with senior British figures.
…[]…
On January 4th, 1932, a meeting was held between the largest English financier M. Norman, A. Hitler, and von Papen, which concluded a secret agreement on the financing of the NSDAP. This meeting was also attended by US policymakers and the Dulles brothers, something which their biographers do not like to mention. On January 14th, 1933, a meeting between Hitler, Schroder, Papen and Kepler took place, where Hitler’s program was fully approved. It was here that they finally resolved the issue of the transfer of power to the Nazis, and on 30th January Hitler became Chancellor. The implementation of the fourth stage of the strategy thus begun.
…[]…
The close financial and economic cooperation of Anglo-American and Nazi business circles was the background against which, in the 30’s, a policy of appeasement led to world war II.
…[]…
Today, when the world’s financial elite began to implement the “Great depression — 2” plan, with the subsequent transition to the “new world order”, identifying its key role in the organization of crimes against humanity becomes a priority.
Ascribing to this approach Historians are no longer required to identify whether the Nazis were stupid (since they were complicit in declaring war) or that because Donald Trump is a “Gemini”, he will ride two horses.
“As we know, JFK knew what is at stake, he tried to balance (unsuccessfully). The lesson : a president must obey.”
It seems pertinent to repeat https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/10/how-americans-lost-faith-in-the-presidency/537897/
“There are just so many concessions that one can make to the Communists in one year and survive politically.”
Not long after 3 million Vietnamese were dead.
Who was JFK following in his hatred of “Communists” (after all, Communists, nominally at least, hate is of plutocratic elites and imperial aggression). Surely it would only be a plutocratic elite bound on imperial aggression that would harbour such hate or was the hate illusory and just the excuse required to actualise his psychopathic lust for personal power.
What was JFK trying to “balance” – equalisation of the power of various mob factions?
TBC.
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I know a lot of those things written not just on that website but in many other places, mainly German ones (cause if somebody, they are the ones targeted by their fate in history) So, if you can read in German or use a translator, you may find different opinions and some intriguing questions and answers. Here for example :
http://sauber.50webs.com/kapital/
https://dieoesterreicher.wordpress.com/2013/06/30/von-wem-wurde-adolf-hitler-finanziert/
so, I know what you are talking about and have an idea of who the culprits are. But, and there is a big But, because these questions are very, very “sensitive” for many who have their power still intact, obviously they have a reason to blend it, to hide it or make a mixture of realities and lies. On the other hand, there are huge amount of documents still being classified (surely for the same reason) One example of this “1984” Orwellian style : a certain date of a hidden meeting between certain important political actors, is mixed up – the date is not the same, or the actors are not the same, in different postings about “the same meeting”. What is all about, we know : to make people confused and… to give up their search. The fight is going on, my fellow Kämpfer.

The topic of Russian pension reform is absent from RT (Russia Today) Crosstalk program and Russian television 60 minutes program, which means discussion is muzzled and the situation is being controlled from the top by media blackout.
… quote … An important point to consider is this: Russian pension “reforms” resemble the pension “reforms” in Ukraine, and indeed, in the advanced capitalist countries around the world. Everywhere the ruling elites claw back previous concessions to the working class — pensions, vacations, education, health care — to prop up the fake valuations of their stock markets, to make the working class pay for the global capitalist crisis.
(source: Felix Krisel
Continuing the topic of Russian pension reform, Kalen has written … “Good report especially listing Putin oligarchic pals by name in a gang, which is not easy to figure out from readily available news. Putin effectively flip-flopped on the issue that kept getting him elected in last decade So why the change now?”
My answer is, Putin will probably not seek to be re-elected as he wants to retire.
Kalen has written at length in the comments section at “World Socialist Web Site” … click to expand the long post.
http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2018/09/05/russ-m09.html
All comments at the link above are well worth reading.
I read that article today, and the comments. What can I say my friend ? the way as many are seeing it is not at all rosy. I wasn’t happy at all at first reading (or back then, just reading it here), thinking that at the end of the day, Putin will rebuke it. He didn’t done that, though I’m sure he must have been bite his own tongue. The causes for this decision is open for discussion : what or who lies behind – you linked an article naming persons – or, what are the real scopes in social terms and economical terms (that would be interesting to find out from someone who is much more closer to Russian affairs – maybe Scott shall write an article).
In my view, it is nothing new (it rhymes) because in the EU – also in the former socialist countries – the retirement age is already 65 for men. Now, for Russia it may be totally different in our eyes but is Russia different ? and if she is, then from what point of view ? (surely, related to the retirement age). Russia is a rich country in all kind of resources but economically is at the level of Germany. Look at Germany’s retirement age : it is 65. but Germany has not (by far) that richness which Russia has. Sadly, Russia still lies behind her real economical capacity at the moment. Another point is : Russia of today is not the Soviet Union of the past, today, Russia has adopted the capitalist principles with all the negative and positive consequences for her. What is positive ? the private ownership The negative is the banking system which has been co opted from the Empire.
Paul, something to consider. I think it a mistake to conclude that Mr Putin has followed the west completely in its reasons for increasing the pension age. (Not that I have any intention of looking into Russian decisions in any great depth). For one thing he very definitely doesn’t follow the same reasoning as the western governments in any other sphere, why should he do so in this one?
Russia is in a uniquely perilous position and will need to concentrate all her available resources on defending her right to survive. Mr Putin thinks and plans very long term and he begins his actions well in advance of their fruition, while still dealing with day-to-day contingencies.
Whether you like him as a person or not, his is a steady hand on the tiller in tumultuous seas Nit picking about the decisions he makes to keep his ship afloat (while not being privy to his intimate personal knowledge) is a bit premature, IMHO.
For some light relief (!) Janis howling a Kris Kristofferson song in her own inimitable style:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXV_QjenbDw
@ one minion … the view you are taking is the one the Russian government briefly outlined, and now media blackout and arrests of protestors, so I have taken to studying this issue. I urge you to read what I have posted and keep in mind I am the messenger here. I have great respect for Putin, as do many, so people are asking questions and rightly so. This matter has nothing to do with “Nit picking” … so please read, study and think for yourself … and not parrot the official narrative. Think of all those people labouring in Siberia. Consider rubles can be printed for infrastructure which is a subject of central banking not often spoken about, and see how the economists are now silent on this pension “reform” … reform … clever use of language too !
It is a “pension downgrade” … let us call it what it is !
Paul,
I would be most interested in hearing how you can manage to study this matter in any meaningful way at all, in a ‘media blackout’ and while immersed in a totally different culture on the other side of the world.
You claim to be ‘the messenger’…but what are you transmitting? That you disagree with Mr Putin and are disappointed in him, based only on your totally disassociated knowledge of the Russian pensions business?
Fine, disagree. We can all disagree on a variety of things without pretending to be personally affronted that a government of another country freely makes economic decisions for itself without consulting us first.
It is, in the end, solely a matter for the Russians to decide…and they can vote him out if they collectively decide that he no longer has their best interests at heart. For myself, I doubt that they, being on the receiving end and knowing his record far more intimately than you or I do, are so short-sighted.
“It is, in the end, solely a matter for the Russians to decide…and they can vote him out if they collectively decide that he no longer has their best interests at heart”
Seems incongruous from a lifelong socialist and union organiser especially since we know their opinion counts for nothing when their “elite” have decided otherwise considering that 73% of Russians voted against the dissolution of the USSR
Different times, different ideologies and different ruling bodies. We all move on, or get moved on, like it or not, and fighting the battles of yesteryear is not my thing— too much to be concerned with in the present day-to-day business of staying afloat.
Do you have a vote in the Russian elections? Any influence at all, however infinitesimal, in how Russians decide to run their country now that they have some influence?
I lived under Soviet rule for a year in Bulgaria in 1978, (no vote for me then, either) many good things about it that we could learn from, many drawbacks too that we can also learn from.
“Different times, different ideologies and different ruling bodies. We all move on,”
Well, they voted for the continuance of Communism which is a much closer brother to Socialism than is Capitalism.
“in how Russians decide to run their country now that they have some influence?“
This implies that they did not have any influence as Russian citizens within the USSR.
They did (at least, until they were ignored at the dissolution vote).
Elections were based upon Chapter XI of the Constitution of the Soviet Union and by the Electoral Laws enacted in conformity with it which included certain political rights, such as freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.
“too much to be concerned with in the present day-to-day business of staying afloat.”
Readily understandable from today’s report as an example in the UK here: Homeless deaths: At least 449 reported in the past year with at least one, apparently, from starvation.
In comparison with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homelessness_in_Russia
“By the 1930s the USSR declared the abolition of homelessness and any citizen was obliged to have a propiska – a place of permanent residency. Nobody could be stripped of propiska without substitution or refuse it without a confirmed permission (called “order”) to register in another place.”
Now i’m not so gullible as not to know that there remained vast inequality and corruption in Soviet times but the bigger point to appreciate is the aim of Plutocratic run western Capitalism is, at least partially, profit maximisation whereas the stated aim of the Soviet Union was quite the opposite.
In summary, different ideologies are central to “the problem” and, as you say, “staying afloat”. We have all been moved on (even against stated will) to the Western Capitalist system for the benefit of the ruling plutocratic elite everywhere.
I still imagine it as incongruous that, as a socialist and union organiser, you seem to have a superficial comprehension of the overriding issues.
Incongruous is my middle name. I do reality as I have experienced it and seen it, not ideology. You are beginning to read like the worst kind of armchair ideologue, demanding total obeisance to your own limited view of what are the overriding issues.
Ever considered that we all have different outlooks and priorities so a different take completely on what are the overriding issues?
Your overriding issues, as stated, have never been mine and are unlikely to become so at this late date, so this discussion is pointless for you and tedious for me.
Try somewhere else.
I am under no obligation to explain myself to you, and if you could get past your monocular view of what are to you the ‘overriding issues’ you would find seeking such explanation superfluous.
“Incongruous is my middle name.”
It certainly isn’t “Socialist”.
If you had an explanation it seems it would be very confusing so thank god nothing is forthcoming.
“Your overriding issues, as stated, have never been mine and are unlikely to become so at this late date”
Perhaps you’ll have better luck with Euromillions this week.
Good luck.
‘If you had an explanation it seems it would be very confusing’
Why, thank you.
But I can hear you clear as a bell.
Just saw this article. It seriously contradicts Solzhenitsyn’s and Western narratives.
The US has the largest prison population both is size and percent of population in the world and more than Stalin’s USSR. Plus, a large portion of US prisoners are in prison due to minor, non violent drug offense which offenses have now been legalized, yet they remain imprisoned.
The reason is US prisons are for profit institutions, that legally enslave people.

The US is becoming a sort of anglo Soviet Union, except without having the good elements which the Soviet Union had, like housing for all.

And I think that, for poets and leftists (some of whom are neither impotent nor insane) this link featuring a common theme by Percy B Shelley and Rosa Luxemburg of THE MASS STRIKE phenomenon in History might animate the muses……..and mitigate the pessimism, impotence, lack of creativity and boring predictability of the Leftist Losers, while the Leftist Winners Rise To the Occasion of THE STRIKE.:
This Election Will Not Be 2016 Done Over —We’re Way Beyond That Now!
Meaning the one in 4 weeks and one day.
https://larouchepac.com/20181008/election-will-not-be-2016-done-over-were-way-beyond-now
an excerpt:
………”. But now, in fact, Americans generally are a lot less stupid than they were two years ago—or even two months ago. That is the real story of this election—although it is one that Hillary Clinton may never be able to understand.
The name for this phenomenon is “the mass strike,” as Lyndon LaRouche constructed this argument exactly 50 years ago, basing himself on Percy Bysshe Shelley’s unfinished A Defence of Poetry of 1821, and Rosa Luxemburg’s The Mass Strike, the Political Party and the Trade Unions of 1906. Great works by two of humanity’s greatest leaders of the modern era. LaRouche most frequently cited a section towards the end of Shelley’s work, assuming his hearers were familiar with the writing as a whole. Describing historical periods preceding or accompanying “a great and free development of the national will” of England, Shelley wrote, “At such periods there is an accumulation of the power of communicating and receiving intense and impassioned conceptions respecting man and nature.”
The spread of this “power” is not precisely voluntary, and is often unnoticed by the recipients. Its immediate causes in one or another case are usually unknown—as is seen both in Shelley’s and in Luxemburg’s arguments. Indeed it most resembles a perception rather than a thought—but not a perception by the usual organs of sense. Shelley continues from the sentence quoted above, to write “The persons in whom this power resides, may often, as far as regards many portions of their nature, have little apparent correspondence with that spirit of good of which they are the ministers. But even whilst they deny and abjure, they are yet compelled to serve, the power which is seated on the throne of their own soul.”
Yet some are seemingly ironically happy where they sit in their miserable denials of any potential for change at any time or any place. Because the fact is they don’t really even want any change and lack the guts and brains to even give it a try (like JFK did) so much do they love their old familiar, same old same old chains and will whine and complain about such a complex person even of their own religion and national origin determined to stay stuck in their “winning formula” Identity of Impotent Loser with Eternal Complaining Rights.
One could argue successfully, that JFK DID offer some positive things to the world, WAS caught up in a Mass Strike of sorts by his WW II experience, sufficient to achieve a moral identity somewhat better than his extremely compromised criminal father and WAS assassinated largely, but not entirely as a consequence of his decision to END the Vietnam Adventure……AND the Federal Reserve…and was human and far from perfect. FINE!
Does Anonymouse offer one billionth of the same potential for change, or anything like ANY of the movement forward and upward such as JFK did accomplish in his last 23 years or so…………. in the current Mass Strike Opportunity for Change?? I agapically dare to dream it!
However, THAT is the question only he can answer. But in studying his “thought” processes and their evolution, inertia or devolution in the next weeks, months and years, many thousands here can determine if that’s the way to be……..”or NOT to BE”…….personally……. and in History.

some more on the JFK war criminal JFK https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/10/how-americans-lost-faith-in-the-presidency/537897/
Quote
It did not happen all at once, this radical diminution of trust. Over more than a decade, the accumulated weight of critical reporting about the war, the publication of the Pentagon Papers in 1971, and the declassification of military and intelligence reports tarnished the office. Nor did the process stop when that last chopper took off. New evidence of hypocrisy has continued to appear, an acidic drip, drip, drip on the image of the presidency. The three men who are most responsible for the war, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Richard Nixon, each made the fateful decision to record their deliberations about it. The tapes they left behind—some of them still newly public, others long obscured by the sheer volume of the material—are extraordinary. They expose the presidents’ secret motives and fears, at once humanizing the men and deepening the disillusionment with the office they held.
It is no coincidence that the last president to inspire such trust was also the last president elected before the Vietnam War began in earnest. Kennedy’s charisma, and his military bona fides, encouraged Americans to believe in their young president as he confronted a complicated and dangerous world. His promise, in his inaugural address, that the United States would “pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty” reinforced Americans’ vision of their country as a muscular force for good around the globe.
As president, Kennedy immediately faced the challenge of how to use that power. He refused to send American troops to secure a pro-Western government in Laos. But after the Bay of Pigs fiasco, and having been bullied by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev at a summit in Vienna, he made a different calculation when it came to the continuing crisis in Vietnam, one influenced by domestic political concerns. Kennedy confided to an aide: “There are just so many concessions that one can make to the Communists in one year and survive politically.” With the Vietcong gathering strength in South Vietnam, he felt he had to act.
In August 1963, disturbed by the authoritarian South Vietnamese President Ngô Đình Diêm’s failure to win over the populace or thwart the Communist insurgency, Kennedy approved a plan to encourage a cabal of dissident generals to overthrow Diêm’s regime. In November, rebel troops seized key installations in Saigon and promised Diêm and his ruthless brother Ngô Đình Nhu safe passage out of the country. As soon as the brothers surrendered, they were murdered by rebel leaders. South Vietnam plunged into chaos, and a bad situation got worse.
On November 4, 1963, shortly after the coup, Kennedy recorded his thoughts about what he had allowed to happen. The Kennedy who speaks on this rarely heard tape is not the bold young man of the inaugural address, but a president consumed by doubt, even remorse. He rues having made such a crucial decision without adequate consideration.
Listen to John F. Kennedy:
Over the weekend the coup in Saigon took place. It culminated three months of conversation … which divided the government here and in Saigon … I feel that we must bear a good deal of responsibility for it, beginning with our cable of … August in which we suggested the coup … I should not have given my consent to it without a roundtable conference … I was shocked by the death of Diêm and Nhu … The question now is whether the generals can stay together and build a stable government or whether … public opinion in Saigon … will turn on this government as repressive and undemocratic in the not-too-distant future.
End Quote
In summary, because JFK thought:
“There are just so many concessions that one can make to the Communists in one year and survive politically.”
Up to 3 million Vietnamese had to die.
If this is the sort of change the halfwit muricans aspire to support then the rest of the humanity should consider them the most dangerous and detestable of enemies.
Here, for example, is the ideology and objectives of some example “Communists” who so deserved extermination http://www.country-data.com/cgi-bin/query/r-12662.html
According to Soviet theorists, the basic character of Soviet foreign policy was set forth in Vladimir I. Lenin’s Decree on Peace, adopted by the Second Congress of Soviets in November 1917. It set forth the dual nature of Soviet foreign policy, which encompasses both proletarian internationalism and peaceful coexistence. On the one hand, proletarian internationalism refers to the common cause of the working classes of all countries in struggling to overthrow the bourgeoisie and to establish communist regimes. Peaceful coexistence, on the other hand, refers to measures to ensure relatively peaceful government-to-government relations with capitalist states. Both policies can be pursued simultaneously: “Peaceful coexistence does not rule out but presupposes determined opposition to imperialist aggression and support for peoples defending their revolutionary gains or fighting foreign oppression.”
I think we can agree that JFK, great moral failing is part and parcel with his aspiration to become the titular head of America, what with its “city on the hill” mythology paired with imperial (read genocidal) practice. On the other hand, many writers, notably James Douglass, see in JFK a martyr for peace despite his ruling class background.
Thanks Bro, well spoken. I didn’t know JFK but met his brother a week or two before Sirhan DIDN’T kill him. I was in war like JFK (Nam) and it also affected my view. JFK didn’t have the Q men like Trump and the rest is history. Yes, it is easy for some to moan about the “Cabal” and “O poor me, nothing can be done. BS. I have had extended conversations in person, with likes of Bill Cooper, Evan Meachem, Bo Gritz, George Will, etc etc. and more than held my ground when needed. My Red Pill was war (Purple Heart, Infantry, Airborne) and my BS in Econ/Purdue. Trump spent a fraction of what Hitlery was given. MSM gives a small if any hint of what the Q folks are about. I have ALWAYS thought that it has to be military White Hats behind someone like Trump for us (world) to have ANY chance to turn the tide of the Satanists. I’ll NOT be robbed of my hopes.
Sirhan’s lawyer was caught in a sting, people say, involving purloined Grand Jury papers… I recall the events quite clearly…and was slightly acquainted with the lawyer . This is to say that he may have been pressured to make poor counsel, now and then…and, it is speculated, to Sirhan, – the quid pro quo was a mild punishment for the allegedly stolen papers…and I do not recall that any agency, any mechanism, by which said papers appeared on the gentleman’s table, under the gaze of the somber judge, who naturally saw what they were, reading upside down from something like 10 feet…
I have seen similar games played-out in the “legal community” over the years…they are as old as courts.
Yo Bro,
You didn’t mention, and I learned not so long ago, that JFK was going to shut down the budding Israeli nuclear industry.
“that JFK was going to shut down the budding Israeli nuclear industry.”
His brother would probably have cleared up that misunderstanding for you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirhan_Sirhan
“Sirhan was born in Jerusalem in Mandatory Palestine to an Arab Christian family of Greek Orthodox background, although he attended a Lutheran school. In 1989, he told David Frost, “My only connection with Robert Kennedy was his sole support of Israel and his deliberate attempt to send those 50 [fighter jet] bombers to Israel to obviously do harm to the Palestinians.” Some scholars believe that the assassination was the first major incident of political violence in the United States stemming from the Arab–Israeli conflict in the Middle East.”
Just read this humongous piece of nonsense at Russia Insider:

Seems Iban Thranholm has been thoroughly coopted…
More nonsense here:
http://theduran.com/russia-s-300-vs-israels-new-f-35-in-syria-who-wins-in-a-shootout/
According to this article, once the Syrians are trained in about 3 months and Russians leave then Israel can blow these S-300 systems to pieces with impunity.
“Israel’s new fleet of stealthy Lockheed Martin F-35I Adir versions of the Joint Strike Fighter afford Tel Aviv the ability to defeat the S-300 with relative ease.”
This assumes 4 things, one that the S-400 detection/EW systems are not hooked up to the S-300, two, that Russian personnel will leave, three, that the F-35 is not a hangar queen, four, that there are no large birds along the flight path.
A fifth would be that if somehow they did manage to get there and launch something that Pantsirs are unable to deal with them.
Quite a parcel of assumptions and a rather nasty line here:
“it was Assad’s poorly trained and motivated air defense crews who shot down the Russian Il-20M Coot intelligence-gathering aircraft on September 18 , sparking the current tensions in the first place.”
Wait! MI6, sorry, Bellingcat, with his meticulous and undeniable evidence, has just uncovered the second Skripal attacker – one Alexander Mishkin a “a military doctor working for Russian intelligence”

Got to keep the comedy script warmed up and running….
There has been some speculation on exactly which S300 Syria received from Russia – here is what TASS has to say;
#Russia: the state run news agency @tassagency_en confirmed: #Syria got three S-300PM3 battalion sets, including 24 launchers and over 300 missiles (missiles types: 48N6E3, 9M96E2, 40N6E, 77N6N1)
Isn’t that model of the S-300 (С-300ПМУ-3) the same as the S-400?

Embassy Press Officer’s reply to a media question concerning the new Bellingcat’s investigation
Question: How would you comment on Bellingcat’s claims that it has “tracked down Alexander Petrov’s real identity”?
Answer: The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has recently advised us to consider such publications and statements as a display of freedom of public debate into which the UK Government does not interfere. There have already been reports that the Home Office and Metropolitan Police would not comment on these “speculations”. This is exactly the case when we should follow the example of our British colleagues. The Russian side will be ready to discuss both this information and other outstanding issues with the British authorities through official channels if we receive a respective request from London. If information continues to flow in the form of media leaks with references to anonymous sources and investigations by NGOs (even though they have obvious ties with secret services), this will only confirm that the British authorities have no intention to pursue investigation within the framework of international law.

Swapping gender norms in the name of equality: Icelandic school that makes boys paint their nails
https://www.rt.com/news/440666-iceland-school-reverse-gender-norms/
(so, it seems there may be opportunities nowadays to sell ice in Iceland)
There is a basic, fatal “flaw” in the “reasoning” of Ólafsdóttir in those school activities that show an obvious intent to create divisiveness among genders. And no, it is not proscribing gender roles swapping. That actually enhances gender harmony.
Paul, and anybody else, can you spot that basic fatal flaw? It’s really easy to spot if one is a genuine leftist, btw.
She is substituting ‘outside pressure of conventional gender roles’ with outside pressure of unconventional gender roles. What is unchanged is the ‘outside pressure’ which is being applied rather than allowing the person to develop as a unique individual.
Something that has struck me in my interactions with (mostly) male-to-female transgenders, is that the emphasis is entirely on the cosmetic changes, the outer appearances, rather than any fundamental inner attitude change. It is as if they try to morph into a caricature of what they think a woman should be without any consideration that few, if any, ordinary women aspire to that.
I have heard many cosmetically altered trans-women claim to be more of a woman than a biological woman, purely because they ape the secondary sexual characteristics, flirty mannerisms and ditzy demeanour that very young women, bred on celebrity culture, believe makes them desirable to men. It is the ‘young’ bit that does the heavy lifting though, not the add-ons, in the desirability stakes.
Thank the gods we get older and maybe a bit wiser.
(P.S. I am of course avoiding the genuine v fake leftist question as I don’t see it as applicable in this instance. As a lifelong socialist and union organiser, I know that we are a very broad church and not defined by all of us thinking alike the imposed ‘correct’ thoughts.)
Irrelevant, as is offguardian and it’s zio-minions, btw.

What you are missing is how that “outside pressure” is being utilized. It’s very specific in this application, and is engineered to to create a very specific outcome on the victims. What you are looking at is psywar of a particular sort, championed by our favourite you know who rightwing operatives.
Try again.
I disagree. ‘Outside pressure’ to create ANY specific outcomes, conventional or unconventional, on the victims, is social engineering/psywar of exactly the same sort.
Just because a particular practice is of longstanding doesn’t automatically make it beneficial to the recipient who begins as a unique human potential but is inevitably shaped by outside influence, whilst powerless and defenceless, because too young to formulate an opinion or to reject them adequately.
Or do you think, given the inevitable different influences and prejudices we are all subject to as social creatures, that the only justifiable influences on others that should be exercised are those that fit your own particular prejudices and approval, whatever they may be?
This, BTW, is not an attack, it is an expression of opinion. And along with many other things, we all have at least one of those.
Gotta act fast if you want to pay money to hear Bill and Hillary tell more lies. You too can have an ‘intimate conversation’ with Hillary from your seat in the upper deck of a large pro hockey arena with Hillary appearing on stage. This will obviously be intimate as in fans in the upper deck can have the same sort of intimacy with Patrick Kane who at least at times skates down towards your end of the arena.

In Donbass and parts of the Russian World, today is the 40th day since the assassination of Alexander Zakharchenko. Memorials are being posted on Internet sites and social media.
This is a practice, the 40th day memorial, for important persons, often heroes.
So, think of Zakh, his heroism, his leadership, his achievements, his loyalty to Putin and the to the Donbass.
Eternal Memory!
Hail thou immortal! Worthy of the most high! Sail on to thy eternal bliss!last
The 40th day memorial service is an Orthodox practice. “The mourning period for Eastern Orthodox Christians can vary with each family, but generally lasts for forty (40) days. Within the forty day mourning period, the third day, the ninth day, and the forty (40th) day have special significance.”
“The fortieth day after death – a forty day memorial is offered with Holy Bread and Wheat offered by the family of the deceased in his/her memory. It is the belief of the Eastern Orthodox Christian that the deceased’s soul remains on earth for 40 days.”
Jesus Christ remained 40 days with his disciples after his resurrection from death, before He has gone to Heaven.

There is something allowing me with my waning powers to attend the daily march of infame and the daily drama of apocalypsis:
It’s, in Jungian terms, the ‘Uranus’-archetype in me giving me the mirror of truth and power, which is not to be distracted by ‘human’ demons, but will keep ‘0M’, as long as our star will burn, in his running layer within and without of us.
The essence of my weekly reading of heaven is, to be lead into the weekly possibles for each and everyone, and to resonate with one’s collective unconscious resonance with the weekly definite heavenly ‘weather’.
The way to do it is to have a look on it and to forget it, and repeat and forget it … to let a new organ grow.
Anyway, it’s time for everything under the heaven, in a circle of 360° (x60 x60 …) housenumbers, there schould be a place for everyone.
That place is to be found for everyone by Ascendent tells the stargazer.
The best of astrology is: you get a minifying glas (like lastly Ollie showed one apparently, and Vladimir and his team anyway) approvingly some
have a kind of ‘natural high’ providing them with the heavenly gift of Aquarius – a recognition from out of the distance – to finiteness things.
In the history of man this always has appeared as so called religion.
On this fertile field in the physio/psychic mirror, the family-pulses of our polar star are acting their dramas since times immemorial and will keep to do it for times unfathomable.
And human mind is bound to reflect these archetypal pulses conscioully to fully receive the unfathomable help of the unconscious gods.

Putin comes to Stavropol Krai, the south of Russia, to meet workers from the farm ‘Rassvet’ in an orchard and inspect new varieties of apple.
The green apples are Granny Smith variety … which originated in Australia in 1868. It is named after Maria Ann Smith, who propagated the cultivar from a chance seedling.
I use Granny Smith to bake apples pies and apple filled piroshki.

I have a lifelong love affair with Granny Smith apples! (Even as a child, I preferred the tart flavor to the sweet apples.) Glad to hear that another Northern country will export (?) them. Australia is a long way from here and the supply from Washington State is limited.
Hi Babushka
When I was in Grade 5 at Windsor (NSW) Primary School I had a friend Barbara who told me her Gran was THE Granny Smith of Granny Smith Apple fame.
Windsor being one of the five historical towns of early white settlement, and me being a foreigner in these strange lands, I had no way of knowing the truth of Barbara’s claim. Until the Internet came along, and I was able to put Barbara’s names into the search engine and voilá: she was the real deal!

”
The UK Independence Party specializes in distorting reality.
Nigel Farage, UKIP’s former leader and still its best-known representative, poses as a no-nonsense patriot. Curiously, his patriotism does not extend to insisting his chief backers pay their taxes in his beloved Britain.
One of Farage’s allies and donors was the multi-millionaire tax exile Aaron Banks. The aptly named Banks accompanied Farage as he raced across the Atlantic in November last year, determined to be the first British politician received by Donald Trump, the newly elected US president.
Banks has subsequently fallen out with the party over apparently trivial matters. Though such squabbles are entertaining, they should not distract from how – despite its claim to champion ordinary folk – UKIP frequently sides with the world’s bullies.
That much is clear from the strong level of UKIP involvement in a recently formed group dedicated to supporting Israel’s war crimes.
Friends of Judea and Samaria in the European Parliament, as the group is called, has been set up in response to the Palestinian call for boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel.
Fifteen members of the European Parliament support the new group, according to its website. Three of the 15 belong to UKIP, making it the only party to have more than one declared supporter.
“
… much of what you say may be true, but we see Nigel Farage is standing strong at the EU, and we know where the EU parliament gets its money from … and there is no one making this vital opposition to the non-democratic EU other than Farage.
So, this is where we are at … we have something … called UKIP … or nothing … but that nothing will result in undemocratic hell for Europe.
It is a good idea not to mix and mash political issues … one issue at a time please.
Now, when I speak of the pension downgrade in Russia, for instance, I am attacked because Putin has done so much good, and yes, he has … but this does not mean I have to shut up !
We need to be vigilant … always !
Nigel Farage serves no one but the plutocratic elite of the UK.
Some time ago I tried to sue the UK (Frankovich claim https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francovich_v_Italy) for breach of favourable EU employment legislation. After BREXIT UK employment law will be even weaker than EU employment law. The democratic hell under the plutocratic UK conservative government will be even worse than that under the plutocratic EU government. The UK flip-flop between Labour / Conservative has as much meaningful democracy as the US flip-flop between DEMS/GOP – none.
Margaret Thatcher / Tony Blair – spot the difference (& if you think a Jeremy Corbyn victory would be allowed to last for more than a few weeks by Global Capitalism, well…
All issues are interlinked & the Russian elite are no different (“a chain of tragic circumstances”). Vigilance, I think, is too late and the canon fodder have been vanquished.

I would argue differently. Yes, in the circumstances today, migration is being used in various political ways and for that I admire the stance of the Central European four and the strong stance against the Soros type control and manipulation of humankind. I don’t particularly want a Soros Designed Society.
But to stay that migration is *not* a fundamental human right, to my mind is to degrade the essential human being into being only welcome in the sheep camp that he/she was born in. And the reasons for that are the same as the reasons for the runaway European migration … political and safeguarding of political elites that manage countries. It is in reality total control of the human. So, I think there is more than one way to look at the concept – example, if there is perhaps major ecological upheaval and an area becomes unlivable, people have to be able to move. Bear in mind and Give me a break here and understand that I am still captivated by ideas of full freedom – call me a John Lennon ‘Imagine’ groupie (grins).
… in this rather special case situation the Hungarians had to employ this counter-measure to stave off the political legal correctness that was being forced upon them. In a normal refugee crisis, such as natural disaster, most people will act humanely and observe human rights … hopefully.
“‘Migration Is Not a Fundamental Human Right’ – generally speaking is wrong ! remember, in 1956, over 300.000 Hungarians have migrated (fled) in the West, you know the causes. In 2015 begun the migrant crisis for Hungary when more hundred thousand people have gathered at the Hungarian southern border and forcing it through they continued their march toward western Europe (mostly Germany) Only a few of them have applied for asylum in Hungary, even those (when the occasion opened) fled to western Europe.
The question is why ? the answer is very simple : the living standards. Hungary cannot afford to pay such amount of money as they (the migrants) are offered in the west. The large majority of Hungarians are living well below of the standard of their counterparts in the west. Many Hungarians are working as migrant workers in the west. Isn’t here a paradox ? Even if Hungary would decide to accept the migrants quota for them of about 1400 migrants, after a while they would flee again in the west. Of course, the Hungarian foreign minister hasn’t mentioned the cause of the crisis – note : he lauded the good relations with the new US administration. I understand though, as a small country in Central Europe, what can he do more than to keep a fragile balance.
Yes, for me it is a travesty that things that are essential for human beings everywhere, are now being classified as ‘human right’ or ‘not human right’. It is as if some big kahuna somewhere decides what us humans may have and what not .. You may have water, you may have a little food — and that is all. Despite the words the ability for us people is being reduced to state of servitude yet again. That is my comment to the speech … good speech, but yet, let us get the words right.
If the mass migration issue wouldn’t be used as a powerful weapon, then the answers would be much easier to tell cause they are so obvious and natural. As the situation is what it is : weapon , then we cannot expect anything else than a continuous frustration and controversy. The nationalistic view will gain more and more terrain and maybe this is what has been planned. I don’t think for a minute that those in charge with mass immigration did not know from the beginning what they will sow. For instance, the Brexit “drama” has also been planned and has to do with the same people who planned the mass immigration to continental Europe. If in Europe will be chaos, the City of London will be again the “Crown of Liberty” for the “oppressed” Europeans. That’s why London has one fear : Germany (the same old, the same old) and that’s why Germany is the centre of the immigration issue. Nigel Farage plays the role of instigator in this scenery. Now they have a trouble : the nationalistic parties in Europe and in Germany in particular. Their plan was to instigate them against immigrants, meanwhile aiding the left-wing parties ( not all, the antifa likes) against the right-wing and conservatives or any other civil groups – who opposes this “weapon” – invoking the rise of fascism again (wow). It is well known that the right-wing, left-wing (some of them) and conservative parties and groups are pro-Russians. That rang the bells in City of London. You can imagine the question : “Who is Putin ? ” “Where belongs Putin ? ” or, “What will Putin ? ” now ?!
Revolt brewing in the Q camp leading to long explanations by the Q ‘group’ as to why things are not proceeding as the Q camp said they would. Seems like the differences between dropping disinformation and real information is now blowing the minds of folks. I checked out a bunch of conversations this morning and I’m horrified at the sheer violence being expressed within the Q camp. A very good friend and a Big Data analyst and forecaster says that the civil divide in the US has just basically started and buildings are going to burn.
After the Q camp turned in lockstep to vilify China in the last two weeks or so, after the Vice President made a speech to tell everyone how bad China is, without saying a word as to how the current trade war was instigated, it seems as if somebody or somebodies are beginning to think. So, “why are things not happening?” is being asked more and more. So now the farmers cannot sell their corn, and the corn is going to be used to make ethanol – “that will show those Chicoms a thing or two! “, say the crowd.

In memory of Che’s murder by the u.s.
Cuba
Sons and daughters of glory
Cuba’s pride and joy
Martyred on empire’s altars
Sacrifices to unholy gods.
Empire brooks no resistance;
Tyranny is most beloved;
Freedom is anathema;
Liberty most approved.
Bend the knee
Submit before her
“Let empire salve your wound!”
Should a pure and holy soul
Arise like the commander
He must be crushed
Or taken down
So others will surrender.
Should he remain incorruptible
The people must be hostage;
“Privation and hunger brought to bear”—-
A useful wartime adage.
“A more exquisite pain can’t be conceived
For one whose heart is true!”
Jose Marti, Guevara, and Fidel,
Old guys gone like I soon will
Took inspiration from their countrymen
And gave it back in turn;
The spirit of the people endures
While empire will surely burn.

There is an interesting article on public opinion in Russia and Ukraine. A poll on their feelings about their relations between the two countries.The poll was conducted jointly by Russian public opinion research center Levada and the Kiev International Sociology Institute.Its important to remember that Levada is not a pro-Russian government polling organization.While the Ukrainian, Kiev International Sociology Institute, is “constrained”(to say the least) by the fear of the Ukrainian neo-fascist regime.So it took a lot of courage to say you wanted friendship with Russia. And yet 48% of the poll respondents in Ukraine said they did.Down from the 80% who responded that they wanted good relations with Russia 10 years ago in another poll (the poll 10 years ago would also have included Crimea and Donbass in the polling.Showing that without those two areas the current 48% would have been a higher percent of the total.And without fear,I suspect,today’s 48% would be even higher still).

Hurricane Michael, the hype is beyond (insert whatever).
It’s a storm for chr. sake. No more.
“Hurricane Michael is now the third strongest hurricane to ever hit the US mainland”
Really? EVER??
Off-course, I do understand that for some people the storm might be frightening, and the damage might be substantiel in some areas.
American houses, however nice they might look (for some), are nothing but facade, build of cardwood box material, cheap soft wood etc.
Look-alike homes. For chr. sake. Americans can’t even make nails beyond what was available in 1860.

I would like to have some sort of easy comment field tools, like on quite a few other forums.
Like this one: http://telemarksporten.no/SakerPhotos/CommentsField.jpg
Not difficult to implement on a word press web-site I would argue.
I, personally would be posting more comments, including graphics than as of now.
Opinions anyone??

It looks as a good idea. What says the Webmaster ?

Hurricane Michael is only the most recent weather weapon launched by the globalist-controlled geoengineers at the U.S. coastline and heartland.
There are multiple reasons why the globalists are directing this Cat. 4 Hurricane at the Florida Panhandle.

This little red tree, started out as very small, and even if I posted this two years back I believe, it is worth reposting, especially after this afternoon where we sat on one of our benches, same sky, surroundings, a little later in the year, the red tree a little bigger. Worth almost a lifetime I can assure you, so I wanted to share. That’s all. Memory lane is more often than not worth a visit.

Please feel free to interpret this one anyway you like. Twitter is short waves, a depiction is sometimes very long waves, build up by myriads of short waves. I am a long wave person, and have now, believe it or not, created a twitter account, for the sole purpose of expressing my gratitude and admiration of Vitaly Churkin to his daughter by posting the depiction I made last year on her twitter account.

This is interesting, prompted, finally, by the murder of Pat Finucane, a Belfast human rights lawyer, long ago.
Will there be a proper inquiry, long overdue, or will we get the usual whitewash and fudge those affairs have generally proved to be?

Nick Griffin blasts EU over European genocide – 2014

“The UK Independence Party specializes in distorting reality.”
Well yeah, rightwing quislings working for israel, what would one expect? That’s their job. Essentially no different than the tories or new labor (note how I spelled it). As for nigal falange, that is the correct political spelling of his surname, btw, the guy sucked up to trump, the craven pindo gofer of netanyahoo, what sort of decent human being would do that? A fellow extremist right wing gofer, of course.
Nigel the Falangist has always been entirely open about his priorities, boasting that becoming an MEP was for him entirely about collecting the immense financial gravy that comes with the position. He already failed 7 times, I believe, to be elected to the British Parliament and has crowed ever since about how much more is available in the trough for the MEP’s
Nigel will work for whoever pays him the most, although judging by his record of non-attendance at the EU Parliament, that should read ‘front for whoever pays him the most,’ as there is evidence of little else during his tenure.
This is not an attack either, unless on poor Nigel, who will be considerably poorer if Brexit ever happens. Which is why he scrambled to be the first Brit to visit the Donald looking for a replacement gravy train. He was hoping for Ambassador to US, but sadly that is not in the Donald’s gift, the clue being in the full title, and Betty, like her great-grandmother, was not amused.
And Nigel has never been shy of declaring all these things about himself on record.
It could almost be admirable were it not for the obvious reek of sociopathic behaviour.
