Good read on why the Empire went straight for the jugular on Gen. Mike Flynn.

Thank you for the very informative as well as analytical post
Thanks. His analysis of most developments seems to be in depth and spot on, your link is a good example.
I will say that this morning he lays out the dimo strategy for the next few months and it is indeed depressing-he gives credit to the dimos, despite their massive evil, for being master strategists. I’ve decided to load up on anti-nausea and anti-vomit meds because it is going to be a rough few months. It seems that they have trump by gonads and every idea, at least until mueller releases his report, has been blocked-again, I’m trying not to retch.
I am profoundly disappointed in trump’s advisors and the gopers in congress-gowdy appears to be a complete sell out.
I will spare the mods a link as the link to the info I just described because your comment will suffice, just scroll up or down as necessary.
I will highly recommend (again) Engdahl’s article which I cited in the sidebar at right on obama’s truly evil plan and use of the muslim brotherhood as outlined via PSD-11-it lists his equally evil cohorts who devised and administered the plan. To see these criminals still walking around unscathed really is depressing.
You seem happy enough with the head honcho groper though.
I’d love to see Donald dumped in the middle of Gaza to have his walking around finished once and for all.
Nah, not sure where you are getting that.
I think it might be a good thing if we all refrain from drawing conclusions based upon a lack of criticism. I’m fully aware that many here are operating with English as a secondary language which would make it even more important not to infer meaning, support, approval from an incorrect interpretation of a one-line sentence in a multi-para comment.
A general comment for the Saker community.
At the moment it is I with cognitive dissonance but soon it will be yours.
I have just been reading Moon of Alabama’s latest and the usually entertaining comments section.
Readers there have the same opinions of the Donald as may be found here.
I must admit I’m losing both my patience and my admiration for the community here with some honourable exceptions (yo bro).
As the alternative to mainstream it amazes me to find the same contempt for the Donald here as I find there.
On what evidence?
It can’t be because of what he says.
It can’t be because he starts wars or supports the drug trade or assassinates by drone or kills his own to blame someone else or promotes the media matrix or …………
The battle is for hearts and minds.
People power is all that the Deep State has to fear but there is no sign of popular support amongst the most educated of the interested public.
I admit there has been very little to admire about the USA in recent years and little reason for hope but here it is staring you in the face and you ‘fart in it’s general direction’.
Not so long ago I felt like a rank amateur and unqualified to comment on this site but I am rapidly reassessing.
You must ask yourselves if the Donald is as big a threat to your own habits and occupations as he is to the establishments’.
If so your contribution to the cause of peace is a negative not a positive.
What if his goals are what he says they are?
It really depends on which side of the civil war you are on. It’s educated urbanites vs. the working class. In my case, it’s very hard to voice support for trump in at work, or with my family. But all the working class guys I know think he’s great. The elite is amazingly out of touch. The working class gets it.
Me? With the 24/7/365 propaganda blitzkreig I was starting to lose faith. But then the madman flipped the bird at the empire and announced he was leaving Syria. For me, for the base, this proves he is our guy.
Well, LBD, let’s compare notes in 2019…..after I crank out my 2018 Year End Wrap-Up Magnum Opus!
We are not alone here in our risky Orange Long Shot Bet.
Among regulars we have Mundo monitoring the Stars and diving favorable DJT readings there.
In Northern California there is the Most Improved Poet and Dostoyevsky Scholar, Teranam 13.
And some visitors that probably find the Heat in the Vineyard Kitchen a bit too intense to linger long.
Many others, (I imagine) are simply cowed by peer pressure of the rigidly ideologically self-loathing Vineyard Majority (Americans, in large part…of European descent and Europeans, who—on certain actual grounds understandably are disgusted by everything Anglo-Zio-American-Imperial.…) , and being gregarious humans who very much care to be liked and accepted by others, no doubt calculate that it were best to keep their hopes, thoughts, and even questions in their heads….down…and to themselves or else join …………the Self-Loathing, Orange Hair Loathing Majority.
We also have Asian Americans and Asians and Afro-Americans and Africans in smaller numbers, but they are neither cowed by European Ethnic White Guilt……….. nor as needful of constant Murica-Orangutan bashing and trashing….to signal what side the are on….but probably mostly stay out of the DJT Danger Zone Here.
If I were were one of them, ethnically, I think I would be slightly amused at the spectacle!
LOL..
It is because Trump is one person, the public face, the part standing for the whole, the titular head …, that we as observers attribute him agency for the resultant actions of the US/Globo-Zio State which includes corporate interests, legal and academic establishments, think tanks, cults…
Trumps job is to stay on top, and to land on his feet in flying colors, much like this guy.
On what evidence?
https://www.rt.com/usa/367846-trump-tax-plan-deficit/
Taxes would be cut for all income levels, but would mostly benefit the highest-income households, despite Trump saying during an NBC town hall meeting that he believes in raising taxes on the wealthy. The plan would also reduce tax rates, simplify many provisions and reform taxes on business.
“If you look at the most wealthy, the top 1 percent would get about half of the benefits of his tax cuts, and a millionaire, for example, would get an average tax cut of $317,000,” Lily Batchelder, a law professor at New York University and visiting fellow at the TPC, told NPR.
Little Black Duck,
First, most observers won’t be drawn into the left/right divide with US characteristics and most will not even comment.
Observers outside the US have different criteria. This could be some of them:
– is the US (and therefore Mr Trump) advancing a war agenda or not. So, far, they are. Withdrawal from Syria led to 2 more bases in Iraq, one right on the Syrian border and one straddling the main highway – I’m sure this pic is on the MOA site if you read that – it was just a move across a border to a more controllable area – not really a troop drawdown at all – but a finagle.
– then, economics – Trump is causing economic war wherever we look. Yes, some of those systems need to tumble but to my mind, it is a brutal clawback of economic interest from others and the way this is done, is by complete and utter disrespect and treaty breaking by Twitter, instead of treaty development. The incessant treats (Iran, Venezuela, China, Russia and a whole long list) are getting old.
– and in general, we see no real change in the US foreign policy but rather a further doubling down in trying to destabilize whatever is not US. I can give you a long list here but I think you have it already.
– the deep Zionist roots as well as the deep Saudi roots, well, what is to be excited about? We also see that Mr Trump has little room to move in his own administration.
– internally it is said the ‘fight’ is against the deep state or the dark state which are 2 different entities but entangled. Wake me up when there is action against the deeply corrupt 3 letter agencies and organizations such as NED.
The rest is sloganeering. And I actually think Mr Trump is a good thing for the US. But I also think that his headwinds in terms of a geopolitical stance are only now going to ‘show their blow’. One does not get Russia with its back against a wall and China with its back against a wall all at the same time. From that perspective I feel we are close to a bang. (Refer The Saker on /each-click-brings-us-one-step-closer-to-the-bang/ and also the last paragraph here : /a-much-needed-likbez-about-russian-tu-160-bombers-in-venezuela/
“Conclusion: All wars eventually end. The critical question is “how?”
Russia and the Empire have been at war since at least 2014. This has been an 80% informational war, 15% economic war and only 5% (or less) a kinetic one. But the Empire is running out of stupid accusations and hollow threats, its economic warfare has been a dismal failure, and all that’s left is to “go kinetic” which would be a disaster for all parties. Bottom line:
The US dream of subduing Russia is long dead.
The US dream of threatening Russia is long dead.
The US dream of remaining the sole superpower (aka “World Hegemon”) is long dead.
What can the US do in this situation?
To trigger a kinetic war would be suicidal. Bullying Russia with threats does not work. Pretending like reality is not happening is the current US strategy, but it is clearly unsustainable (and every Tu-160 visit to Venezuela further undermines it).
I don’t see any other solution than to put an end to this war and (finally!) negotiate a global peace plan with Russia.
If not, expect many more Russian military hardware getting closer to the US borders.
The Saker ”
I would add a similar paragraph to the trade war with China.
There is no walking back to a single polar world. And this is what the observers here are observing. Will we get there without the bang?
Again, an outsider’s view on Mr Trump’s actions are based on a very different set of criteria.
Here is but one example for you that happened to come by.
http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2018/12/us-has-little-to-offer-southeast-asia.html#more
Little Black Duck :
Righting an empire in a new direction, much like a large ship, takes a huge effort. President Trump seems to be focusing his efforts on reversing our economic relations with foreigners, such as the EU or China, who have sucked the US dry through bad trade deals (25-200% tariffs and trade barriers on their side 2.5% and no barriers on ours) creating a balance of payments gap of over $1 Trillion per year. When President Trump mentions the inequity, we hear he is opposed to “Free Trade.”
The US is also burdened with home-grown trade cartels whereby prices across vast sectors of our economy are artificially high compared to elsewhere — $2 lemons here cost 30 cents in Central America, while Florida and California flower growers found no wholesalers when they refused to be handcuffed by the US flower cartel. As these cartels are broken, overall food prices will surely drop.
Regarding foreign affairs, President Trump has been denied the staff he needs, by the Republican and Democrat wings of the UNI-PARTY on Capital Hill. All previous administrations were given the option of so-called “Recess Appointments” but not President Trump. Another case in point is the Syria pull-out.
While UNI-PARTY stooges, Defense Secretary Mattis, Secretary of State Pompeo, National Security Bolton et al claim that the President’s pull-out announcement hit them out of the blue, we now know that he requested a phased plan when he first arrived in office, again a year ago and yet again 8 months ago, in April of 2018. Rather than provide a plan, the Deep State offered only everlasting Syrian war. President Trump left the April briefing with an ultimatum — he would pull the US out in 6 months if the Deep State would not.
No surprise, the only TV defenders of President Trump’s decision were his White House staff — who seem the only folks in Washington willing to admit that ISIS in Syria is finished, with remnants huddling in Idlib Province and an Tanf — next to their US military protectors. In a brilliant move, President Trump visited our troops in Iraq and received an enthusiastic welcome — thereby signaling ground level support for the pull-out.
Wtf are your troops in Iraq?
He’s just moving them out of somewhere they shouldn’t be to somewhere they shouldn’t be to continue the carnage.
Americans are truly halfwits.
Anonymous:
You continue to assume President Trump is in charge of the Pentagon — when he is clearly not.
General Dunford could not overtly double-cross a Presidential pull-out order without being fired like General Mattis, so he opened two military bases south of an Tanf, on the Iraq side of the border. No matter, Syria and Russia will bomb the an Tanf Jihadis — and any residual US agents — in two months.
The problem, Petrel, is that none of this ever comes to an end – you describe the perpetual cycle of violence perfectly – just like the S300 deal meant the Israelis wouldn’t dare (and if they did there would be consequences).
Here’s your war criminal orange baboon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O0uR03s7m4&t=50s selling arms to Saudis for which, presumably, he is not responsible for either.
Me too; his hands are pretty much tied, but I’m not counting him out.
Thanks for your insights. You are no rank amateur, I assure you. I would like to point out why so many people feel the absolute distress over Trump like they do– and this is far different from “contempt” for the guy, and his enablers. Out of three hundred thirty million people in the US, the ‘powers that be’ gave us the choice of two very divisive individuals: Clinton vs. Trump. That’s it. Lord help us.The well documented book The Greatest Show On Earth will answer many questions. Trump is absolutely contemptuous of the working people! Robert Reich recently ran a list of thirty of Trump’s broken promises on YouTube. I ask myself if Trump. the egotistical former game show host and “my red button is bigger than your red button” kind of guy –and endlessly bankrupt “businessman” is as big a threat to my own habits and occupation as he is to the establishments’. The sad answer is yes, and yes, both of them are terrible threats not only to Mother Earth, but also to the vast majority of human beings on our beautiful planet who are not wealthy. I also ask myself if the earth would stop turning if the current president were to resign, and the answer I get is that frankly no, it would not. Not that I’m a big fan of Mike Pence, either. My contribution to the cause of peace has been as a long time determined writer of letters to people in positions of power, and my reward is one I am very happy to share with others, namely, the prevention (so far) of nuclear war. My reward for this effort is right here on earth, as I believe it will be in heaven, also. I know my mission. Finally, regarding Mr. Trump’s bizarre Wall fetish: I wish mightily that the most effective wall he could build in his lifetime –assuming he really wants to be effective– would be a beautiful wall around Mara-Largo, a wall about a kilometer high, and that would drive home the point (perhaps) that walls can keep people In as much as they can keep people out. I wish for your and yours a truly happy new year.

“It’s All Related”…but exactly “How?” ………….Is the Question.
Before this tumultuous Mass Strike 2018 Year Ends….I will take a stab at the answer …..and search the outer edges of the Galaxy ….and the Internet for clues………fearless of falling flat on my face and being pelted with rotten digital fruit….in the form of merciless Xs and Os….Ones and Zeroes.
According to my online translator the French Flore is not “flower” …but FLORA.
Therefore I will endeavor to “plant” a few seed ideas on the above, before Year End and see what the 2019 Harvest yields………In Learning,at Least.
Two thoughts:
> In recent Cafe the bread and water punishment in US navy was mentioned. The question of what will now replace this was raised.
This may not be a particularly valid question, as men from navy with seagoing experience will generally attest that discipline is enforced with far more serious methods aboard ship. Ditto what’s left of US merchant marine….
Enlisted discipline includes in fact, various ad hoc tortures including tying the offender to the gratings in the engine space and using burning fuel oil squibs from beneath…progress rather unevenly to elevator accidents, and the solid old “falling overboard at night”.
Offending officers, offending from the point of view of the enlisted, do not get the milder forms, as these are not practical. As McCain story shows, transfer off the ship as quickly as possible avoids elevator accidents…which are not terribly unusual…
Withal, the punishments of bread and water did not matter then, and the discontinuance of this protocol does not matter now.
Ship is a tight space…things happen…the rule is to keep silent and do your job in order to avoid accidents. A better method is to stay off the ship, and better still, avoid the navy. And better yet?
Avoid “service” to a criminal junta….
……………………
> I am very interested in the untimely death of Admiral S (see /moveable-feast-cafe-2018-12-26/#comment-599035 )
It’s obvious the man was in the way… But of precisely….what?
I imagine that a FFE (False Flag Event) may well have been inconsistent with the Admiril’s agenda…and the “Liberty Affair” may suggest the form…but it would be interesting to read the original cop reports from the navy cops, etc…and whatever other documents may exist…would it not?
I cannot find the verses I mentioned a few days ago and conclude that I must have them in hard copy only, somewhere. Someone posted one of the 24 here, Ras I think.
So instead I will post a prose version that is almost the same, enough to get the gist anyway, for those still interested in what rhymes, confident that each can make of it what they will. That old guy Dattatreya, knew what he was doing several millennia ago, even with such limited resources:
http://www.swamij.com/twenty-four-gurus.htm
yes it was me, I read your link and found it all very beautiful. I then did a search based on the link and adding ‘poems’ and found the verses, but did not realise it was these you had referred to, and did not save the link.
Ras
It should be in your browser ‘history’…
On the lighter side, which everyone needs, is a belated Christmas gift that takes two minutes and will give you a smile, a chuckle, and maybe more. Enjoy!

That is just so wonderful!
It was better in the beginning, and, of course, if viewers can understand French.
What complete and utter sh1t..from The Daily Telegraph
“Britain to become ‘true global player’ post-Brexit with military bases in South East Asia and Caribbean”
Come on, we’ve only got about 3 ships left that occasionally go, and the aircraft carrier, that is not currently capable of anything except maybe waving a British Flag, is a sitting duck..
Not only that, our propaganda, is completely rubbish too, and not even The Americans believe it….
Where did they find Gavin?
Selling fireplaces in Stoke-on-Trent???
He makes even that idiot Hunt seem almost sane.
What did we do wrong to deserve these morons in The UK Government?

unz posts article in re the several “suicides”… http://www.unz.com/article/scarce-news-on-admiral-stearneys-death/
It’s worth pointing out that “suicide” is not a cause of death. It’s an opinion.
A cause of death is “heart failure” or “asphyxia”, etc.
Soooo… When “they” say “suicide” the astute reader understands that the speaker is not speaking honestly.
The reality, when they say “suicide”, is that somebody’s misleading you, or trying to…
If… the words from the Lord’s prayer in German ” …..”und vergib ihnen ihre Schulden” ….engl..” and forgive them their trespasses” (guilt) ….was misunderstood ( or willfully applied or promoted) for thousands of years as being spiritual debt, but was actually monetary debt? Does that change our historical outlook and might help our present time?…Hudson’s book was just published. Thanks, Katrin
…………and Forgive Them Their Debts: Lending, Foreclosure and Redemption from Bronze Age Finance to the Jubilee Year (Tyranny of Debt) Paperback – November 15, 2018

5.0 out of 5 stars
1 customer review
A book on my to read list, is anthropologist David Graeber’s Debt: the First 5000 years. In any case, the association of the religious and the monetary goes back to antiquity, with temples issuing coinage.
My own thinking is that ‘guilt’ and ‘debt’ are mostly synonymous, except that ‘debt’ has been colored with connotations of sovereign fraud. I do not think the problem is one of mistranslation.
Katrin, musings about Schulden und debts have been the object of the Jewish-German philosopher
Walter Benjamin, in an essay of 1921. Deeply he did swallow the truth of “Capitalism as a Religion”

That’s interesting. Trespass in English doesn’t strictly denote guilt, it is about straying onto land where you are not welcome for whatever reason.
Nowadays it refers almost exclusively to private property, crossing fences and the landlord taking pot shots at you when you steal his apples (often with salt pellets in his shotgun, ouch) but it predates these times, having currency in the times before the enclosures of the common lands. The enclosures were a cause of much starvation and grief to the ordinary people and the reason the Scots and Irish emigrated in such numbers to anywhere else in the world that would have them.
Its about crossing a border, that may or may not be legitimate, depending on who (the powerholder, usually) has imposed the border.
I would use the term ‘transgress’, myself, which avoids the legal snares inherent in the use of ‘trespass’.
That should read (the powerholder, always) as with no powerholders to impose it there would be no border there, ever. The Commons, the lands that were open to all for grazing, gathering, making stuff in a rural economy, belonged to everyone and no-one until some bright prat decided to claim them for himself and enforce the fences against the previous (from the beginning of time) occupants.
Western Capitalism. Odd parallel there to what happened in the US with the previous occupants (Native Americans) and how the west was won.
Huuummmm…
Generally in the Common Laws “trespass” is not a crime, it is a tort. That’s an offense against somebody’s rights, particularly real-estate rights. And they have the right to tell the offending party to leave, sometimes…property rights are limited and not absolute, not in Law, the walking paths in England being an interesting point to consider, as are easements generally. In our time and especially where governments and their militaries exercise violence and terror, trespass acquires new meaning- how can a citizen trespass on public land? It’s absurd in Logic….but this is the primary form of trespass today. The forms of the Republic are no longer followed as Empire abandons even the cloak of Law… All of the forgoing related to, generally, the UK/US/and EU…to an array of degree as the several customary legal systems (Roman, Salic, etc., shape the matter.
Looking at the canonical text, the prayer, we ought to see “trespass” as an individual offense… I would moot “usury” as one such offense…but more generally any odious debt – any debt that cannot be paid within the compass of a equitable ethical system, any viable social structure, any culture.
Comrade M. Hudson speaks to “odious debt”, by the way…
For thousands of years the germ version of The Lord’s ptayer speaks of ‘Schuld’ /guilt/, not ‘Schulden’ /debt,-s/ – linguistically there never was room for doubt. Mistaking everything german for everything else as long as it sounds german may be allowed as a cafe poet’s licence, but should be avoided in theology.
in my previous poem (in German) it was meant as “Schuld” – Guilt. Amen
“To be or not to be, that is the question” The question of the individual, of human beings. But being human immediately entails partnership, community, me and you, how we get on, how we interact, do I know you ?
How do we interact if we are continually asking the question “to be or not to be ?” Yes, we do, that is the question !
Fear and uncertainty are mitigated to some extent by comfort zones. Mind control, let someone else decide for you. Fight the enemy out there, feel safe, no one will know you face an uncomfortable abyss.
War is really the great spiritual battle fought in our time.
Human beings standing at the brink. Being human, facing a void of not knowing.
Will there be enough people able to step back and provide humanity with survival chances, and enough collective, creative, spiritual resources to know how to manage peace ?
That’s a tough question Raskolnikov, if war will be only in the spiritual realm or it will spread into physical realm.
Second Installment of 2018 Crypto-Pyramid Scheme Universal Coding (including YOUR DNA….,yeah yours, reader…I’m talking to you in ones and zeroes over the internet…in related “code”…..) Year-End RANT

/moveable-feast-cafe-2018-12-16/#comment-595191 amarynth
And I apologize to our resident crypto expert and IT trained staff person amarynth for not having had the time to even note, much less view …more than a few seconds of her BCH panel of experts link within her comment linked above.
However, I did note that Roger Ver of BCH ABC is one of the Bitcoin Cash featured speakers on her linked video and that fits in, very very nicely with my over-arching theme! As you shall see……..
For Vineyard Background you may have noticed that Vineyard of the Saker and other Alt-Media sites now or in the past have accepted contributions in Bitcoin (BTC)……Litecoin (LTC)………Bitcoin Cash (formely BCH….now BCH ABC to distinguish from BSV (Bitcoin Cash Satori Version) or rarely one of the others.
I heard about “Bitcoin” but had a big nothing in my head about it in 2016. I think it was early 2017 when I noticed that Saker could take BTC contributions and published his “wallet’s” Public Key…for people to send BTC from their wallet to his.
I never did this.
But I got some Etherium and sent him some of that!
It then soared from @ $350 per ETH to $1200 in late 2017. Now it’s about $135. Buckle up, your at Magic Mountain. https://www.sixflags.com/magicmountain
A glow of self-satisfaction comes over you when you do your first transaction. No PayPal or VISA middlemen!
“Peer to Peer electronic cash from anywhere in the world to anywhere else in the world”. You have joined the Tiny Minority of the World’s Population That “Get It”! And have exposed yourself to the irrational fears and hatreds of The Great Majority of Ignorant Homo-not-so Sapiens.
(The Crypto-Elitist Fiat-tard-baiting will continue unabated, throughout this rant! )
Later, I wanted to send some BTC. It was no longer an option! I saw LTC and BCH as options but I didn’t have any of either of those. In a comment I asked “Why no BTC?”
Amarynth explained that egoic people things had occurred in the crypto-community and people among the “block producers”, “miners” (I am as yet unqualified to define these terms, only vaguely know what they pertain to….ask her!) and “assorted whales” in Total Swinish Disregard (my hyperolic added spin) for the Original Vision of Satoshi Nakamoto (“anonymous”, never publically identified author of the Bitcoin Whitepaper………… https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf ) had virtually ruined Bitcoin as the originally Envisioned Peer to Peer Electronic Cash System for “The People” and converted it to An Electronic Store of Value or “Digital Gold” for plutocrats, Capitalist Pigs and Crypto-insiders…totally unmindful of the now way too high transaction fees for small transactions like 25 or 50 dollars worth BTC contributions to the Vineyard.
Now, one of the dumbest things about Fiat-tards, Gold Bugs and other Ideologically Set-In- Concrete Minds is that they think about this New Discovery (blockchain applied to value) in absurdly absolutist terms. Like if you were to ONLy have BTC and no USD, no solver, no gold no Euros, no Pounds,etc.
This is what Ramin Mazaheri ran into a year or so ago in his article ……………http://thesaker.is/bitcoin-hits-10000-as-grandpa-buys-in-leftists-say-whats-bitcoin/
The Crypto-ignorant hail of rocks he endured in comments to his article was an astonishing and withering fussilade
!
I, for my part, hypothesize that Ramin already sensed the Global Mass Strike and Yellow Vests Movement bubbling up in the Sphere of Value and Values and was taking the temperature of our Revolutionary Fervor. The Mercury retreated to the bottom bulb of his Persian Islamic Socialist Thermometer, faster than you can say “Absolute Zero”!
Pause.
Gee, I apologize, Kent, for that over-wordy background to my featured guest speaker, Ryan, whatever-his-last-name-is. I know I lost you several paragraphs ago, but maybe you’ll read some replies, and see this apology…if you back track.
Why, Bro, Why?
Because it is a very fun and great puzzle, and if you can’t wrap your brain around Q…
Well maybe this puzzle might be for you!
Money, like sex, maybe ought to be kept a very private, intimate thing, not discussed much in public…..(too late for that in what probably reached international notoriety in 2016-2018 as “The Communal Sex Café” (Hey, you can’t say I didn’t try to change the subject…..LOL) but This Puzzle has Explosive, Nitro-glycerine-like volatility and other properties, so let’s strip down and get at it!
(Handle with Care and Discernment…and tasteful modesty!)
What are the potential consequences, if you do??
They are:
1. Participation, at least intellectually, in communal discussion of near “ground floor” Evolution of Money Exploratory Ideas, potentially.
2. Quite possibly (if the answer to my Big Question is “Yes”……) THE greatest, most favorable reward to risk ratio you will ever encounter in your lifetime….no kidding.
3. Lots of Fun Learning and Connecting of the vast Multitude of “Decentralized” Dots of Crypto-Code to Other Elements of the MASS STRIKE Anti-Globalist Movement for A Multi-polar World!
AND, Paul, Chris K, parrheisses (sp) and others… “Wait! There’s More!” :
4. Ancient and New Pyramid Schemes, From Giza…to Bernie Madoff…to the Ones on Mars.
5. Connection to The Roots of the Human Genome Code (Chris K “went there”. No one dared follow….yet.
6. Everything discussed anywhere at any time by any Space Cadet young (Jordan Sather…and his Above Majestic friends David and Corey….I’m a flexible sceptic….truth be known….I don’t know!) or older (Catherine Austin Fitts, Amarynth, and other spatially oriented…toward the east…the Orient……know where the sun is going to come up, minimally…. younger than I) all that Galactic Alliance vs Empire….Unfolding Script and Communal Earthling Screenplay “stuff”.
Now, finally, for my Big Over-Arching Question:
Is the “True Bitcoin” lost in the form of the elitist, not-for-the-masses BTC (currently a little under 4K USD) but possibly finding itself in the Great End of 2018 Bitcoin Cash acrimonious, vengeful HARD FORK “to the death” into BCH ABC (currently $164) and BSV (currently $89) Hash Wars????
To answer that question requires really good thinking, and I am going with my head only 25% ….admittedly…and my gut 75%….because I am not professionally qualified enough to reverse those percentages. But maybe amarynth is!
If so, You May REALLY “Get Your Money’s Worth” as a Lucky Visitor to the Vineyard of the Saker! So buckle up.
But, worse case scenario, if you mistakenly follow my line of reasoning…or whatever “consensus” results from this proposed exploration/debate…..(my leaning, I admit…is currently my Special Guest’s…I’m deferring to his judgment here…what he says is VERY interesting …and he seems to me to be a person who knows what he is talking about…..) , you’ll “lose your shirt” ……….but we’ll sure learn a whole lot!!!

Bitcoin SV, the Bitcoin Cash Split, and Money Button
Ryan Charles, CEO of Money Button and Yours, Inc
Lots and lots of good stuff in this and I grabbed it from 2-3 seconds quick remark from Craig (to be introduced later…IF this debate ensues and does not die immediately) who, In My Humble Opinion:
1) Thinks, really, really well in regard to complex and vexing current political crisis things.
2) Has the right “stuff” in terms of his combination of guts and loving spirit! Really! Constantly smiling, eyes twinkling type!
Now, for those of you who are absolutely bored to tears by Money and Crypto…There Is Still Unexpected Human Drama and Life Lessons in the above link ……and for Young and Elderly Space Cadets…..bored with All Earthly Business….go directly to Minute 41 -47…to learn how Satoshi’s Peer to Peer Cash System WORKS…..anywhere in the Galaxy….I’m serious! Ryan literally breaks it down for you Catherine! (Austin-Fitts)
If Ryan is correct, then Roger is not.
If Roger is correct then Ryan is not
Of course they could both be wrong and neither BCH ABC (Roger’s crypto-horse) nor Bitcoin SV (Satoshi Version) survive the Test of Time.
But if what Ryan says, that BSV is True Bitcoin Born Again and would be huge, huge, huge for anyone that can “get it” (the idea…not $100-$1000….lol)
Not only would BTC, currently over 50% of the capitalization of all crypto-currency likely be abandoned as BSV nears global adoption….and GO TO ZERO……..but a “little guy” with a hundred dollars to invest today, who “takes a flyer on a hunch or informed speculation”….might be a millionaire in 5 to 10 years, should BSV be The Only Major Bitcoin Left Standing…as Mass, Global Adoption of Cryptocurrency unfolds.
Gotta run to a meeting! Ciao!
And “Propsero Ano (with tilde) Nuevo” as they say in Spain and IberoAmerica….which includes California, BTW! ………..Los Angeles is the Third Largest Mexican City after Mexico City and Guadalajara…and they need to use crypto for remiittances South….currently 10-15% of what they earn and send to relatives.is taken by middlemen as service fees.
With crypto and middleman elimination that could be well under 1%………..
“Satoshi Nakamoto” created BC as a joke, a practical joke. This does not mean it’s not real, of course all practical jokes are real. He was monkey wrenching using the skills he had.
As to how I know this? I know. But of course if I were to say how…then it would not be a good joke. And maybe it would interest “people” that the joke plays on, and they might ask difficult questions – questions that might lead to “suicides”….
Me? I am laughing…
We all under salt people are laughing. “Under salt”?
English is a nuanced tongue…
Big question Bro. Bitcoin itself is now again ‘sendable and spendable’ at a reasonable cost, but only because the volume is low. If volume picks up, then the problem will re-occur. Bitcoin core is not a solution for smaller transactions and the lightening network is become less light to me as they go. And I get this stuff! But this one, I don’t get – its twisting yourself into a pretzel technology.
Very personal opinion and based on the level of ‘true anarchist tendency’ and not the spittin’ ‘n shootin’ kind, more to voluntaryism, and what is right … personal. I am partial to Bitcoin Cash and not to BSV. And I also did never like Bitcoin Gold. So, my preference is Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Cash, but I stress it is personal. Bitcoin Core will be used for large settlement. Bitcoin Cash is working hard for ‘currency for the whole world’. I like Roger Ver (sometimes I don’t like him), but I like him in terms of honesty – he is an honest dude. I don’t like the BSV players – too damn polished and nose thumbing and hate spewing. This is technically as well .. I like Bitcoin Cash, the players and the roadmap. I stress again, personal opinion and Big Picture, and short on the details for now.
In terms of sending remittances – and these go all over the world – I have had the opportunity to get a little experience funnily enough with the Mexican financial system. Oh man, it is seamless – you pour crypto in one end, and cash runs out the other end. We as a family support my mom, in another country. We are quite the diasporic family lol. I pour crypto in this end and cash runs out on her end. Low fees, no questions asked – if you do it right, it just works and if you know crypto, you don’t even need the fiat money. I’ll tell at another stage of a women’s gifting cooperative that is all over Central and South America which I recently helped to get crypto savvy. Lots of smiling faces. This is what feminism is all about, and not the mess that we see around us these days – pink p*ssy hats? meh!
People may know the meltdown in Patreon .. that was thought to be a place for all voices until they got pushed into drowing some voices and the old deplatforming started. There is a great big development around that, but again, it is a big picture. Folks like Jordan Peterson (like him or not, he is passionate) and a very large crowd of others, breaking through the left/right divide I am happy to say, are getting together to make a platform for free speech. I know that it will be a crypto platform, because all other currency is too controlled. But, they are still faffing around. The magic code is The Intellectual Dark Web. Enjoy.
http://intellectualdark.website/
and search for more.
The US type left right divide? well these folks are saying the center is collapsing, we have more in common at the outlying ends on the bell curve, so, let’s all get together. Let’s all talk – let’s have some respect people!. One thing about the yellow vests, they are together man … last time we heard this, was at Occupy .. The People United, Will Never Be Defeated. Well at the Intellectual dark web, that is the rallying cry. We have a combined enemy, and that is that all of our voices are silenced, no matter which spectrum you are on, because truth telling is being silenced. So, let’s talk on and respect our differences, and let’s know the enemy and get done with that one. Our differences are small versus the real ‘enemy’.
A really wonderful development. It is like great spots of enlightenment existing next to great blobs of darkness.
And feliz y prosporo año nuevo a todos. (hehe, I have a Spanish Keyboard Bro). Happy and prosperous new year to all.
The awful truth is that we are all migrants. Perhaps there is a group of people living in equatorial east africa where the bones of the earliest humans have been found who aren’t migrants. But every single one of the rest of us has migrated to somewhere else at some time or another.
Thus, a cartoon for all us migrants.

On the subject of trump this AM, zerohedge has a summary of an interview with Gen Kelly which occurred just prior to his departure-to say that it was “bone crushing hard” probably is a long way from describing the difficulty of that Chief of Staff job in a choatic white house working for a choatic individual.
I have just a ton of respect for Gen Kelly-even in this totally mucked up country with all of its unending flustercucks, there are individuals still willing to step up and try, emphasis on try, to restore some sanity to the situations. God speed, Gen Kelly!!

“Mountaintop Trough”
We are here like profligates,
three camels with muzzles
plunged in provender.
Other camels rage
with their lips stuck out,
foaming, but they remain
down below in the valley.
This windy mountaintop trough
is ours. It sustains and protects,
and you do not arrive here
by just straining your neck
to look at the mountain.
You must start out and continue on.
You have to leave the place
where everyone worries about rank and money,
where dogs bark and stay home.
Up here it is music and poetry
and the divine wind.
Be the date tree that gave fruit
to Mary, the Let-it-be of her heart.
Say a small poem.
Love the exchange.
An autumn willow has no fruit,
so how could it dance
in the wind of Do-not-fear?
It rattles and talks
with nothing to offer.
Give voice to a poem.
Let it end with praise for the sun
and the friend within the sun.
Right what I said to you, keep writing your poems and if you do music, sing them. It is your liberty which no one can take, it is in your soul. Happy New Year !
Happy New Year, also Ioan, and the same to all true friends of the Muse. May the Creator smile down on you, and shower you with Its abundance. See you at the ‘Mountaintop Trough’. Bring an instrument, a lute, a kazoo, a drum whatever you have at hand, oh and yes, a notebook…
RT Documentary – On women’s shoulders
Most able-bodied men leave the poverty-stricken former Soviet country of Tajikistan to seek
employment in Russia, where they can earn eight times as much as at home. This leaves the
small, mountainous landlocked country’s tough-as-nails women to eke out a living tending cattle
in the mountains. Join RTDoc as we explore the lives of these women as they work collectively
to take care of cows, make dairy products and look after children. We’ll also meet men who have
been compelled to work abroad but whose hearts remain with their families and simple pastoral lives.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nv9laZacHn4
That was a beautiful doc, Azorka, stunning area that I always hankered to visit, but so far still hankering.
RT makes some really interesting docs on unusual subjects. I notice on my new machine that there is an information note beneath the window:
RT is wholly funded by the Russian Government, like we didn’t already know that.
Lovely video, Azorka. A timely reminder of homo sapiens resourcefulness.
These people are pretty well situated to cope with global warming.
Don’t curse the dust . . .
Littlest lamp dims unto farthest ground
Strongest hope ingrows feinting proud
Weakest will unborn unto this one yet
Felling swiftly sure timbered oaken bent
Let be passed yon grave hallowed wight
Return again respite yoked new borne weight
Fellowship sakes profound remorse unfound
Years of days weeks of years spin round round
Hell cloys as oats to blood cake flys to rot
Friends forget to laugh gentlest mirth forgot
Tested measures drown and choke air smothers
One whose last breathe is cracked and broke
Return respite laid down rest well, friends forever
Till perpetual day dawns upon our fevered heads
Until perpetual days dawns upon out fevered heads, let’s have a drink. Waiter !…please give us a bottle of Champagne ! Happy New Year !
Pondering just one aspect of your wonderfully convoluted poem,I had this pop into mind stream so hopefully it merges like water from the individual stream into the collective pond so creatively gathered here
Guilt into remorse must somehow creep
for fate with destiny successfully meet.
otherwise the pattern does repeat
ad nauseum, forever incomplete
I hope you do not mind my comments or be annoyed if your poem took me to places unexpected to you.
where have I been,
what have I done?
a fleeting dream,
returned to the sun…
standing on the threshold,
I hear the drum,
my winter clothes shed
and fear overcome
the memory returns
I’ve stood here before
countless times
before this door…
Om.. Om… Om…

New Russian law forbids killing & mistreating animals, restricts petting zoos & illegal circuses
https://www.rt.com/russia/447604-russia-animal-rights-law/
“We are responsible for those we tame. And it’s now a law in Russia as Vladimir Putin put his signature under new legislation, which bans killing, pitting and other forms of mistreatment of animals.
The Law on Responsible Treatment of Animals prohibits the killing of animals “under any pretext.” It also outlaws shooting or poisoning stray dogs and cats, which has been happening in many Russian cities in recent years. Homeless animals are to be captured, sterilized, vaccinated and released with a special microchip.
Organizing animal fights and hounding beasts at other animals or people has also been made illegal.
The law orders pets to be kept in proper conditions by their masters. It bans contact or petting zoos from being opened at the malls, which is a common thing across Russia, as well as hosting animals at bars and restaurants.
The wild animals owned in violation of the law and without a proper license will from now be seized by the state. Hosting them at flats, residential homes and country houses has also been banned.
The new legislation states that an animal can’t be simply thrown into the street, but “should be passed to a new owner or the shelter.” Camels, ostriches and other exotic creatures have been recently found in the wild in Russia after their disingenuous masters disposed of them.
Dog owners will also face some restrictions as the law obliges them to walk their companions only in specially designated areas. It also allows punishing those, who refuse to pick up feces left by their pets in the street, with fines.
The legislation, aimed at protecting animal rights, was first introduced to the parliament in 2010 and has taken almost eight years to be finalized by the lawmakers.”
One word: wow.
Is Comrade Stephan to be turned out of the warm and loving embrace of his family? What effect the new law? Licensing? At what cost? The idea is to relieve suffering and danger, not the opposite…

“Is Comrade Stephan to be turned out of the warm and loving embrace of his family?”
Why don’t you tell us? You seem to be the expert on everything here.
Interesting question: Having dogs and cats as pets is OK. Caged birds? Bears? What makes a pet?
I don’t think that even domesticated cats are ever pets in the sense that domesticated dogs are. Cats retain an independent spirit and take off for somewhere else if the original home is not to their liking, unlike the loyalty that dogs show to even horribly abusive owners.
Very considerate post, vot tak. The abandonment of logos and adoption of pathos inherent in the rejection of philosophy is a fine and surprising gift for this New Year. Thank you very kindly. I deeply appreciate it, but alas, harbor doubt as well…do you realize these things? If not, this may be seen as indicating a vast potential, alas, unrealized as yet. Always room for growth, they say.
Nevertheless I too wish all a fine and constructive year of useful discourse. QED
“I deeply appreciate it, but alas, harbor doubt as well…do you realize these things?”
Promoting doubt is a very specialized profession I see often expressed in the comment sections here…
Philosophy dominates.
Pathos does not.
Get it?
The implication that I am a some sort of agent “specialist” is rude…as it evidently was designed. It is in fact a false suggestion…which I expect will be denied.
I would (and will!) forget about this, but of course it proves my point. Objectively, promotion of Pathos over Philosophy weakens discourse, does it not?
I am sorry it’s too difficult for some.
Thanks.
”We are responsible for those we tame. And it’s now a law in Russia as Vladimir Putin put his signature under new legislation, which bans killing, pitting and other forms of mistreatment of animals.”
Needless to say, this is a most laudable legislation. It proves the simple fact that Russia = Pro-life whereas the West = Anti-life.
On second thought, I hope it doesn’t apply to the Ukronazi creatures, LOL.

Hunting season on governor, who allegedly killed hibernating bear and told teen to shoot caged boar
https://www.rt.com/russia/447680-hunt-governor-crime-probe/
“Sergey Levchenko, the governor of Siberia’s Irkutsk Region, came under fire from both the law enforcement and national Russian television this week. The cause is the footage of a hunt, in which he and his family members participated and which is seen as highly inappropriate by many people.
In one episode of the hunt, the governor is seen shooting an apparently hibernating bear inside its den as other members of the session cheer on him. In another, a teenage boy, presumably the governor’s grandson, is given a rifle and instructions to kill a boar lying inside a cage, which the boy does. The footage was reported by major Russian TV stations while the Prosecutor General ordered to check whether the hunt violated the laws of Russia.
“The governor’s people claim he saved dozens of lives and killed a potential man-eater,” said a report by the Vesti program. “The cunning animal simply was scared by the grand stature of the official and hid in the den and pretended it was asleep.”
Trophy hunters are about the lowest lifeforms on the planet and should not be considered human for legal purposes, but diseased varmints instead.

Happy New Year, to all of Saker’s fledglings. May we all fly free in 2019.
This is probably not worthwhile material to write poems about.
Right on … We’re on pause from drawing down troops from Syria. Check your media of choice, all of the weasel words and all of the lying scum words that you can hope to see. Please look at Trump’s words and Lindsey Graham’s words directly so that you can avoid the talking heads and then don’t believe a word of it. The US is illegally occupying Syria. There are no shades of gray here. You’ve just seen a master at work and his job is to keep on perpetual war and to keep the war industries flourishing and to make the Zionist regime happy. This man Graham massaged all of Trump’s pain points with a rare level of skill. You don’t even have to read between the lines to see this.
The poor poor Kurds – The US has to protect their tame Kurds. What they don’t tell you, is that the Kurds are already deep in negotiation with the Syrian government for an area that will be kinda semi-autonomous – Still within Syria.
Poor poor Israel – They are so upset you know. We have to support them at least (What did Bibi promise Graham?).
We cannot possibly allow Iran to be the Big Winner. We have to win. What this has to do with the matter is of course not clearly explained.
And the doozie that is slipped in – ISIS or Daesh came into being because the US left Iraq too early. Well well. Now I’ve seen it all.
Then, oh boy – enter the old handy excuse – It is all Obama’s fault.
So, this withdrawal will be slow walked until it never happens. Trump is in a straight jacket and he cannot move even if he has the right feeling in his belly.
There are big picture influences here, but better thought about in the new year.
There is an American poet who writes about modern techie stuff, Richard Brautigan, it makes me feel a bit queasy, but it is interesting stuff regardless. All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace:

Bear with me on this one Dimiter/Demeter ( you are so much more of the adept wordsmith)
I once asked a monk: “Do Buddhists believe in Grace?”
He grunted, “Hmmmmm!” Then said:
“Each system has its own inner reference
Time carries within a ripening of Karma
( Debt/payment or cause and effect
it’s up to you to make verbal select)
“time is up” is “divine grace” I say in deference
or a debt finally by wisdom * made Dharma
may be forgiveness by means of G-d’s sufferance. ”
(*wisdom in Tibetan Buddhism is defined as a combination of compassion with knowledge)
“Time is up” is certainly “divine grace”, though we may not always accept it so gracefully. Every experience offers us a choice of working toward a resolution of an existing or potential ‘karma’, by forgiving all involved – understanding that there’s a deeper lesson of love involved – or of creating/continuing further rounds of karma. There’s another factor in all of this; the imagination. Controlled imagination is the “eye of Soul”, but the uncontrolled imagination is the bane of human beings. There’s no spiritual justification for example, for “righteous anger”. Our problem is a lack of understanding of the spiritual laws. Eventually love replaces karma as our primary teacher. Its a much happier and more creative and enjoyable ride.

The Talmud Impaled,
Israel Shamir’s review of
Judaism Discovered by Michael Hoffman*
Published in the Culture Wars, March 2009
A Rabbi was brought a fish to determine whether it is kosher; he checked it out and ruled: “It’s kosher, but it stinks”. This piece of Jewish humour came to my mind while reading this heavy volume by Michael Hoffman. Hoffman is worried that his critical view will be considered “bigoted racist anti-Semitic hate”. I am ready to issue him a clean bill of health in this respect: he is not a bigot, nor a racist, neither is he an anti-Semite; his doctrinal view is quite orthodox and should not cause a Christian much worry. He correctly rejects racist anti-Jewish prejudice as unacceptable for Christians. He professes much love for Jews whom he would like to save. He is solidly anti-Zionist, and this is certainly a good quality. However, this is not sufficient to make a book a good, reliable and readable study.
This is a polemical work, almost a pamphlet; a critical book, dealing with beliefs of Jews (Hoffman prefers to turn an adjective “Judaic” into a noun, and writes of “hapless Judaics”, in order to avoid the loaded J-word). That’s fine — political correctness has made much of theology irrelevant by expressly forbidding negative statements about competitors. There is certainly a place for a critical study of Judaism — for a book that will take into account previous voluminous studies and will move us forward to better understanding of this faith and its adherents. However, Hoffman’s book appears dated, despite being fresh off the press. Books such as this were written by proud Anglo-Saxon Protestants in the 19th century on, say, the faith of the Hindus or even of Catholics (“papists”, to Hoffman). This book is rather a torrent of vituperation: “heathen, heathenish, diabolic, satan-worshipping, counterfeit, delusion, obscenity, racism, superstition, deceit”. Or “the pagan Talmud consisting of abominable wickedness, prodigious filthiness and superlative vileness”.
In the time of WASP supremacy, such a style was considered de rigueur, and indeed British and American missionaries in India or Polynesia employed such language. But nowadays we are supposed to know better. Some of the best literature and art was created by “pagan heathens”, from Homer to Mahabharata. “Filthiness, vileness, obscenity” – all these complaints were brought against Boccaccio and Joyce, and they make precious little impact on us today. I am altogether for a spade being called a spade, but Hoffman turns it into a bloody shovel every time.
For this reason, Peter Myers, our Australian Catholic friend, refused to do a review of the book, writing: “The reason I do not deal with Judaism Discovered, is that Hoffman encases his argument in Protestant spin. He condemns Judaism as an anti-Biblical reversion to Babylonian paganism. That sort of language leaves me cold: Babylon, Egypt and the Indus civilization were the three centres from which our own civilization comes – by borrowing. I am constantly amazed at the Protestant efflorescence in the US. The US is in a time-warp; even some genuine scholars pitch their view of the ancient civilizations in the Bible’s hateful terms.”
Indeed, time-warp is the right word to describe this book by Hoffman: It is as if he had never read Mircea Eliade or Guenon or even The Golden Bough of Frazer; he is not aware of comparative-religion studies. If the language of faith refers to phallus, Hoffman is as shocked as a schoolgirl. “Vagina” knocks him off completely. Sexual union should not be mentioned at all, in his view. The word “heathen” is used throughout his book as a label of moral deprivation and degradation. A comparison with Buddhism and Hinduism (in the case of esoteric belief in reincarnation) should seal the doom of Judaism, in Hoffman’s eyes. I doubt that this book can be read outside of the Bible Belt, where such language and attitudes are still considered valid.
This time-warp is an American, or Anglo-American phenomenon. Hoffman refers (with a touch of envy) to a multitude of anti-Muslim books with lurid titles like “Dark Side of Islam” or “Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam” or “Islam’s War against the World”. Indeed every criticism of Hoffman’s book is equally (or even more) valid with regard to these anti-Muslim diatribes. I feel much sympathy for Michael Hoffman when he exclaims: Do with Judaism what they did with Islam and your name will be blotted out. This is true: Muslim-baiting is permitted, but Jews may be referred to only in hushed voices of adoration. For this reason I do think that Hoffman’s book has some positive value as a counterbalance to Jewish attacks on Islam and Christianity. It may teach some Jews modesty, and that is also a worthy goal. Ideologically, I may approve of some of this book’s pugnacious attitude, or of Hoffman’s wish to bring the light of Christ to Jews. However, that does not make it a good, or even readable book.
The rest:
http://www.israelshamir.net/English/Hoffman.htm
That was interesting, thanks. I didn’t read Hoffman’s book but did consider buying it after listening to an interview he did with the Saker, where he raised some curious points. I was wary of the intensity Hoffman displayed on the subject during the interview, not his lack of research, so I bought a different book of his that appealed to me more.
The full review by Shamir, with his more practical, insider, working knowledge of Judaism, provides a good counterpoint to the outsider interpretation by Hoffman, for me, so thanks for putting the link to it here.
I think it is important to mention that Shamir’s review is on Hoffman voluminous Discovery… (have not read) and not his much shorter Strange Gods… (have read) both banned by amazon. Shamir’s criticisms ring true about the school-girl shock, and anthropological naivety. If anything Strange Gods I suppose, reads even more like a pamplet. At 200+ pages I found it revealing and highly readable. Highly recommended (unless you are in a profession where you could lose a job for reading such literature.)
In any case it serves as a sort of antidote for the kind of “dangers of Sharia law” fearmongering that we routinely get in middle American circles.
UK is ‘Very Afraid’ Russian Media Could Reveal Its Syria Actions – Journalist
https://sputniknews.com/analysis/201901011071135829-uk-russia-syria-media-revelations/
“How does this connect to what has Britain just done to Sputnik? Britain is very afraid that the truth about, for example, its actions in Syria will come to the surface. And it is of course agencies like Sputnik, RT and even TASS that are capable of reaching out to people who perhaps are curious and ask questions about why, in British society, hospitals are closing down, there are potholes in the roads, and why infrastructures are collapsing – yet apparently we seem to have money for firing missiles at sovereign countries, and meddling in the affairs of other countries.”
Ollie Richardson, that name sounds familiar… ;-D
Well, he certainly got that one right on the nail head. Our elites are absolutely terrified that the truth of its meddling, and not just in Syria but in anyplace it can reach, will become common knowledge and thus lamppost time.
Unless you have lived here and been subject to it, it is not possible to understand the wall to wall propaganda blanket that passes for patriotism here, and the anger of the ill-treated masses if they should get an inkling of just how far they have been duped. We have had a couple of civil wars where sovereign heads rolled, another wouldn’t surprise me at all if the truth started being heard.

Aspersions, bones, and birds
Predict-oars; foretoken year to boggle and spook
Katorga chains avail and scrooges craft mistook
For applesauce and pomes of Thracian veldts
Wiseacres half-drawn opine nay forsooths
Dimly down races rats and piper prophets botch
Flagrant promise peace a kiss we first must klatsch
Keen but quick daggers thrust deadly coup-de-grace
Console that semi-sweet confectioners moral flambeau
Friends again surge beneath a tidal fundis bay
Awash in augury and sorted stars compound allay
Gaps in steps of pecuniary plots a trembling fray
Begins again the same another golden day
Glory to come again
On a softer note times will speak clearly for themselves
Peace will lamb-like enter greener pastures of yonder vale
Terrors of night willl pass and warmth of sunshine soothes
Clean slates wiped fresh for cooling tradewinds final sail
Remorse never grinds to stone earthly happenstance
Death’s door shuts tightly closed on memories no more
Life afresh vigors to hear and do what before couldn’t chance
Spirit dons spirit and a thousand lives to live evermore
Five minutes to 2019, Left Coast.
I’ve had a little something to drink, tonight….and so:
I’m declaring 2019 The Year of the International Space Cadet!
I admit that It is more urgently necessary that 2019 be The Year US Globalist NWO Traitors Are Hung For Treason…..but I’m hedging my bets: I’m more confident in the former. I’ll take both, but I may not make it if one or the other doesn’t happen, so I gotta increase the odds of Keeping Hope in P (that’s Peace, not Pence) and Q Alive…..if not here on Earth, then at least……Somewhere in the Cosmos.
In this 2018 retrospective I’m gonna parade candidates for Space Cadet of the year 2018 in front of y’all, and, as with any subject, after my nominations of candidates for 2018 Cadet of The Year …and the general consensus or voting that ensues….I promise to bow out and let the more spatially qualified take over this ongoing, out going, Terrafugal Project, as soon as I’m told to take a hike by Collective Consensus.
Consider me a very replaceable, dispensable, extremely temporary Spacey MC, in other words.
No relation to Kevin, BTW.
Now what inspired this Spaced Out Lunacy is the plain hard stoned cold fact that the Chinese may land on the Dark Side of the Moon, Luna-Fanatics!…. For the First Time Humans or Their Robots Have Ever Done So…….before I even get this posted!
I am not joking. I quote:
“The new year begins with the United States facing scientific and technological surprises from two great nations at once. Russia has tested and begun to deploy hypersonic weapons, against which, numerous U.S. defense and military officials acknowledge, the United States has no defense. And China may be days away from landing its Chang’e-4 mission on the far side of the Moon, a feat no spacefaring nation has attempted before.”

But even before that The Space Cadet Series Idea was orbiting my brain. Which brings me to my
First Nomination for Space Cadet of the Year, 2018:
Jordan Sather of the Destroying the Illusion you tube channel
2018 Highlight: On Christmas Eve Jordan was featured in Mainstream Media Space Disclosure Coverage of a rather refreshing and open sort, In the Washington Times, in an article headlined:
Conspiracy theorists see Trump’s Space Force as strong evidence of UFO visitors
Here’s an appetizer from that article:
“Making it all the more real, the Space Force plan pits Mr. Trump against his natural enemy: the “deep state” within the federal government. The deep state is also the keeper of alien secrets, according to UFO researchers.
“This is HUGE and something the Deep State does NOT want,” conspiracy theory filmmaker Jordan Sather posted on Twitter after Mr. Trump issued the surprise June 18 order for the Pentagon to start planning a Space Force.
“Understand that with the #SpaceForce, the advanced technologies (free energy, antigravity) kept in secret think-tanks within Lockheed, Boeing, & other corporate contractors will now have an avenue to be released publicly,” Mr. Sather tweeted.
Michael Salla, an author who promotes theories about secret U.S. space programs and longtime extraterrestrial presence on Earth, noted that Pentagon top brass oppose the establishment of a sixth branch of the military to patrol above the atmosphere.”
Here’s where Jordan Celebrates His Breakthrough with his subscribers…. yesterday Dec 30:

Cool, Jordan! Far Out!
Now, before I move on to Nominee # 2, let me make a very important point:
Lots of these Space Cadets are interdisciplinary. Jordan, for example, has been validated more than once by Q! And he’s also Big on Big Pharma Research, Free Energy (Tesla, etc) and so forth.
And so with MegaInterdisciplinary Nominee # 2 Catherine Austin Fitts! Not only is Catherine tracking the 21 trillion dollars of missing taxpayers’ money all the way to Saturn…..but I swear I think this is Catherine herself, introducing Nominee # 3, Dr Joseph P. Farrell:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se7i0gWDLp0
I haven’t even had time to watch that Cosmic War Part 1 video yet, but I’m playing this event fast and loose and tying it right into people personally known here:
Chris K is Nominee # 4 with this comment just days ago: /moveable-feast-cafe-2018-12-19/#comment-597424
and Paul Hai (Nominee # 5)who I credit with sending Chris into orbit with Pyramid Power Proofs, right here:
Chris’s explosive mental reaction I hypothesize to have been fueled by the unpronounced thought-mass inherent in his silently thinking to himself “Pre-Pos-Ter- Ous!”…….. Which probably has enough propulsive power to do the trick…..In terms of Cosmic Consciousness.
AND It is proven by Chris’ startlingly bold comment, linked above….which he was propelled forward to advance, on account of his Reaction to Paul’s Pyramid Propositions. I hypothesize. This is ALL speculation, not investment advice.
I hope I have made my Opening Round of Space Cadet of the Year 2018 Nominations relevant enough for the Saker of the Vineyard Moveable Feast Café friends, visitors and patrons and now invite you all to make additional nominations of worthy candidates unknown to me, because quite frankly I am well aware that on this topic (similar to Cryptoverse) I am really a novice and frankly don’t know wtf I am talking about, but I will tell you one thing: I am so well endowed in imaginary intuition, lack of modesty, contempt for mere terrestrial consciousness and sheer cosmic recklessness that I will now immodestly nominate myself as Nominee # 6 (Opening Round) with no concern whatsoever of coming in Dead Last…..or being disqualified for Pindo Arrogance and Ignorance….and Banished Forever.
At least I’d get some work done.
Happy New Year, Planet Earth!
That was so damned longwinded it happened during this comment. Probably the Chinese Moon Landing, tosha.
I was waiting for hilarious Russian New Year Comedic Skit my wife was pestering me with all evening featuring Trump speaking Russian with a New York accent. I’ll get it out of her in the morning.

Bro,
‘and longtime extraterrestrial presence on Earth’
A scientist pal, who is a professor of molecular biology or bio-chemistry or some such, maintains that space travellers are already here, always have been and continue visiting our beautiful Earth. He was referring to micro-organisms that penetrate our atmosphere constantly, sometimes hitching a ride on a meteorite, not little green men in big cigar tubes though.
Working on the ‘little acorns’ theory though, those micro-organisms may one day surprise us just as much as the appearance of the little green men would do.
OM: Just for the record, I don’t “believe” ANY of it and openly admit that what I know is infinitesimal in comparison to the vastness of what I do NOT know.
My reason for posting many things is not to assert their factualness…or to promote a series of beliefs, but rather to assert the importance of investigating certain things that seem to me to stand out as having extremely significant ramifications most worthy of further inquiry, especially when they appear to bear in a fundamental and far ranging way on many, many other important, related matters.
What your scientist friend says about meteorites and microvisitors seems plausible, even likely when you consider that the egoic perspective of a normal human being is to think of “my home”…as a house….or a place in a neighborhood…..or a region of a country ….or a country……or perhaps the Planet Earth…….
But how many people would call home “This Solar System” …..or “The Milky Way Galaxy”…..or “The Universe”…in any really honest and fully conscious sense….of really meaning it?.
So you mostly get a local yokel perspective and consciousness that might be startled by the idea of such “invaders” as your friend reports.,,,,so wrapped up as most of us ordinarily are in our…..”mundane” “of this world” existences and identities.
Your comment brings to mind other inquiries I have heard about viruses being a necessary catalyst for genetic variation and evolution in a positive sense………and floating around almost everywhere out there as well….if I understood the concept or hypothesis or discovery at all accurately……..
I was looking for Dylan’s version of ‘Visions of Johanna’ that I really like but pftt, its gone.
Instead here is Marianne Faithful (once a space cadet and still more than a bit odd) doing it. Not too bad but the short clip following it (if the algorithm allows it) where she shows you around her home is better.

Mundanomaniac to us readers in Saker’s Cafe: Happy New Year with
Russian musical genius:
https://astromundanediary.blogspot.com/2019/01/happy-new-year.html
I am tired of the British using the derogatory term “Yanks” to describe Americans. To do so implies that the British are somehow “different” than the Americans in a good way. Has the rest of the world finally realized that the terms “Great Britain” and “USA” are indistinguishable.
The British and the American elites are intertwined at the highest levels; The Anglo-American (and Israeli) elites have the same goals and objectives and gladly work together. Whether the military bases stationed all over the planet are British or American, the results for the rest of the world are the same:
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-12-31/uk-set-post-brexit-expansion-bases-chinas-doorstep-and-caribbean-defence-secretary#comment_stream
Would having a British military base stationed in countries such as Singapore or Brunei somehow cause those countries to stop trading with China? Building bases would otherwise seem a waste of money.
I think you make a fair point. Also because of the crimes of the US empire, people forget about the massive amounts of crime committed by the British empire. Or better yet because the US quickly took the spotlight, some of the atrocities committed by the Brits weren’t given fair scrutiny. You also see this happening a lot with people from the US, they just quickly throw everything on to Israel or the Zionists or the cabal or the Globalist. Now that’s true to a degree, but the reality is the US, UK, and Israel are all intertwined. At the top they are all the same, they just have different fields of focus. To a lesser degree I would also throw the Saudi clan along with them. I think everyone just has a hard time admitting hey maybe we aren’t the knight in shinning armor we thought ourselves to be.
I think that this is just Gavin, the empty fireplace-salesman, high on the fumes of an empty tank of past glories–now there’s a mixed metaphor but apt I think for our Gavin, who frequently shoots himself in the foot, and may one day even miss that target.
Its one thing dreaming of castles in the sky, or bases all over the planet again but would any of those places, Singapore, Africa, India, etc willingly have us back having fought so hard for independence previously? There was indeed massive and consistent resistance, little heard of, but who wrote the history books and wielded the air-brush til now?
The minister responsible for the Brexit even voted against the policy he had himself put together and championed the previous week. This lot couldn’t organise a p*ss-up in a brewery, let alone set out to conquer the world all over again, even if the masses supported them in that endeavor, which they (the masses) don’t.
Third try
to all of us Vineyardians a happy and truthfull new Year
and here and there a god fun, e.g. with Otaba E

The cowardly trump quisling regime again shows their total subservience to apartheid israel:
https://sputniknews.com/military/201901021071152632-israel-us-quit-unesco/
“Claiming ‘anti-Semitism,’ the United States and Israel have jointly quit a legacy United Nations agency designed to promote international collaboration through scientific, educational and cultural reform.
In together quitting the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), both Tel Aviv and Washington declared what they referred to as ‘anti-Semitism’ and an ‘anti-Israel bias’ as the reason for their move, according to multiple reports.
UNESCO quickly responded to the announcement, stating that accusations against it of racism and bias are “counterproductive and shameful,” cited by Al Jazeera.”
“Exceptional nation”, LOL. The only thing modern americans are exceptional at is being israel’s jailhouse suka. :-D
Meanwhile wide pompous arse is in Brazil getting his orders from netanyahoo:
US committed to ‘protection of Israel’ despite Syria withdrawal, Pompeo assures Netanyahu

‘Fetch my dry-cleaning?’ Pentagon spokeswoman quits amid reports she made staff run personal errands
https://www.rt.com/usa/447893-dana-white-quits-pentagon-misconduct/
“Pentagon chief spokeswoman Dana White stepped down from her role on Monday amid recent allegations of misconduct and reports that she made multiple staffers act as her personal errand runners.
Among other things, White reportedly asked her staff to fetch her dry-cleaning, arrange hair and make-up appointments for her — and even to work on her personal mortgage application paperwork, as well as other personal finance tasks.
Staff were also directed to pick up snacks and pantyhose for her at the Pentagon pharmacy and were “repeatedly dispatched to the cafeteria” to get her lunch, reports said. Other staffers were even asked to drive White to work on snowy days. Generously, however, White did reimburse a staffer for the mileage cost of driving her to work. When the understandably perturbed employees filed complaints against her, however, White reportedly transferred them.”
Sounds like the typical parasitical ofal drawn to the quisling trump regime. With a name like “white”, trump & co. no doubt had “great hopes” this one would go far… ;-D
Calling Little Black Duck, calling Little Black Duck!
Where are you???
I was hoping you would counterbalance (subtly, just so slightly…..LOL) the dripping with animus contempt for POTUS on a daily basis with some other, possibly more strategically productive perspectives on The Donald than the Prevailing Line.
You know, not to brag, but I am a lot more seasoned, politically than some of these Trumper and Q you tubers that have the time and energy and video and audio and other production skills to put a lot of independent content out there. But some are great, some are dumb, there’s everything out there…the full spectrum from silly to sublime.
Here’s a guy I have never listened to once in my life. Evidently a veteran, rudely awakened probably years earlier to a significant degree…..but NOW….2018-2019 wrenchingly awakening further …..almost violently visibly beside himself with anguish…..really deeply pained by what he is discovering and having to deal with The Totality Of it Hitting Him….and, I must say….”keeping it together” rather well …and “soldiering on”…..quite bravely, under the circumstances:
https://youtu.be/y2dclI6ku2k
Whatever his name is #Net4Truth USA338 in the link above declares that in this rare case, he MUST repost from another youtuber RedPIll78.
And I agree. What he takes from Red Pill 78 Christmas Day video is powerfully disturbing and upsetting to him, about Benghazi just a few years ago. I knew in the 80s and 90’s under GHWB that it had already gotten that bad!
Our sad veteran probably voted for the snake.
So I guess I’m kind of jaded. But I feel real empathy for this spiritually and morally suffering individual who was most probably deceived into enlisting in one of the Empire’s wars. Badly tricked, betrayed …and I know the sorcerers that concoct all that shit in Empire Institutes of Mind COntrol such as Britain’s Tavistock Insitute LAUGH their guts out at such servicemen and veterans…and psychopathically feel nothing but contempt for them.
I like many of VT’s comments. I am disgusted by the rule by fear and the mind control endemic in Zionism, for example. It’s great to have such a valiant sentry standing guard 24/7 against that shit.
But I am going to make another point using Net 4Truth and his open suffering and sharing with many, many other former near 100% American dupes, and ask VT and Little Black Duck and other ducks out there a couple of simple questions.
1) If you watch the RedPill 78 documentation in the above link……do you realize it was posted right here in the Vineyard around the late summer or early fall before the 2016 presidential election?
The visitor who brought it to our attention here called himself “Active Patriot”. For a few months he popped in here occasionally. He Introduced the Q predecessor…on the “chans”..”FBI Anon” who reposted those things from 2016 again Christmas Day..2018.
A grim Valley Forge moment for that old veteran you tuber who saw it!
2) Is he worthless and is the Trump Struggle against those perpetrators HRC and Obomber, Clapper Brennan et al ,,,,entirely worthless and irrelevant?
3) Or, for the sake of his humanity and Humanity in General…… might we have a slightly better approach to remoralizing and encouraging him in his work to reach others…..and mobilizing them to wake up and prevent themselves from support of Mindless War on Anyone for the Sake of Empire Psychopaths…..than getting our rocks off for the umpteenth time urinating all over The Donald ????.
I think we are about to discover that that was a real service by Active Patriot. Carefully view the link and what FBI Anon said over 2 years ago…..and think not what I thought at the time (“plausible, entirely plausible….I know these people…. they are absolute degraded shjt in human form”) but what this far older (from the sounds of their voices…different generations…..) than Red Pill 78……this disillusioned tired old veteran is going through…..but dutifully suiting up again….. for some quite a bit more justified…… battles…in the War Against Evil.
Bro,
I used to read FBIAnon before the Q thing started and got silly. Thanks for the vid, food for thought for anyone, of whatever political stripe.
Another one from ‘Get Lucky’, a personal favourite for me, for obvious reasons, given my former means of earning a living, You Can’t Beat the House’ :

Okay……Space Cadet # 1 Nominee for 2018……Jordan Sather ….. is not lazy and put out a decent political intelligence video on New Years Day:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5G6fZkyhXg
The Illuminati Ball / STRATCOM Deletes Tweet / Vatican / NXIVM / Why Conspiracies Matter
One of the things tangentially raised there relates to amarynth and my own differing perspectives on Q from very early on…several months ago.
I am not interested in any ego contests…but I would hope that this observation helps others adjust course to hone in more on signal….and less on noise in pursuit of truth….no matter what.
At that time, months ago amarynth made her anti-Q point using a video where Dark Journalist interviewed a rather smug Q dismisser. Picking off the low hanging fruit of easy to ridicule Q tards…but coming nowhere near the points made by sharper decoders and interpreters……IMHO
While a taking note that DJ is out there on the esoteric side of numerous things and thus pretty interesting….I felt the interview was OK…but I felt that Neon Revolt and others I had delved into fairly deeply made a much better case that the Q Phenomenon, just because it is something never attempted before, is not something to hastily dismiss as insignificant or stupid just one can’t initially relate to it and get what it is, right off the bat..
Now take a gander at the organizer of so-called The Illuminatti Ball…”artist” Cynthia Von Buhler……note the Human Cake …..on the Ball’s “Menu”…..some other fairly strange things……like Cynthia’s self-promotional erotic crotch shot………….
https://youtu.be/v5G6fZkyhXg?t=392
and proceed cautiously with frequent soundings in waters around her …AND DJ’s shores…..who she served as “Compilation Producer” for DJ….on one of Dark Journalist’s video productions.
Dark indeed! Human Cake??? Geeez! It is dangerously dark out there!
You might get killed, chopped up, and put in a New Year’s Eve Cake to be eaten by Illuminatti or pretend Wanna Be Illuminatti………….
What else to note??.The young Sather guy can think pretty well!
Oh, and I wish Q you tuber Stroppy Me would learn a few things from Jordan. For example almost every time Stroppy Me Q tuber from Down Under features something from “Sorcha Faal” whose quite strange website capitalizes on Russian mystique with every single article (apparently) leading off with…..”sources inside the Kremlin said this week that…….” piquing one’s interest….but then, I somewhat suspected (despite some intriguing reportage….the same old MO…..endlessly causes a certain suspicion..) drawing one in to a web of disinformation….using The Kremlin credibility (it’s pretty high!) to advance their own purpose.
Just about my only real reservations about this Sather nominee stem from his quite positive attitude toward two of THE most well known….Other Space Cadets on the internet:
1 David Wilcock….who looks as much like an alien to me, at least, as anyone I have ever seen……lol…and
2. Corey Goode who is either loved…or detested and ridiculed as the Blue Chicken Cult promoter…..literally blue beings like in the movie Avatar flitting around. Show me, Corey! Show me.
I don’t know about those two, yet. Goode and Wilcock. But I do suppose I will keep the nomination process going until someome more qualified takes charge.
Wilcock # 8
Goode # 9
Oh, yeah Richard Dolan …he’s # 10….who calls BOTH of them out, rather vehemently is…..a full time UFO disclosure analyst,….who seems rather solid (so far) and frankly very irritated with the impossible to verify claims and speculations of Wilcock and Goode….who Dolan regards as self-serving and irresponsible.
…and making his job or purpose more difficult….
… These are just my first impressions. After 2-3 hours of video
.
Hi Bro,
I’ll be disappointing you in this discussion because I have little time for all these videos. But I have some background as to who actually broke these issues open into the general consciousness.
Back in 2014, through 2015 and for a few years, I was glued to my seat on the Secret Space Program Conference (use those 4 words exactly as is for a youtube search). Those discussions were stellar and the conference speakers were just creme de la creme of alternative but real researchers. I remember the one year some woman speaker outlined the various treaties covering space and my own interest is more in the line of those treaties – geopolitical. Those all, the ones that were made to stop warring and not to weaponize space are of course all falling by the wayside and we are in a mad weaponizing space race now. Of course one has to start wondering about the esoteric side of all of this and every ‘fluffy jane’ now has their own secret ET that gives them all the information and keeps them on track. I love humans – but sometimes I worry about them a lot lol.
So back to the Blue Chickens. The surprise was that Cory Goode started to trademark (I hope this is the correct legal term – he wanted to own it exclusively) the term Secret Space Program, well, secretly.
This did not go down well with all of the other researchers and they said .. NO. These were the serious researchers that you can find in those early days of the Secret Space Conferences who opened up this sphere and made it A Thing, in a manner of speaking. So, to the term ..
In the first place the term belongs to the commons and
in the second place the Blue Avians have taken data from others and are/were passing it off as their own. The term must stay in the commons as many people have researched for many years already, and this research must remain open source to the benefit of all. In addition just the fact that someone wants to do this, trademark that term, already speaks of nefarious purposes for various reasons.
Your favorite, Sather, was reportedly part of the trademarking effort. The effort failed spectacularly and a few other Blue Avian programs failed spectacularly. (Note the weasel word ‘reportedly’ but there are legal issues here),
This is as much as I know (or that I want to say), besides that I truly enjoyed the Secret Space Program Conference (early years, I cannot recommend later years as I did not listen to later years).
Richard Dolan (an old warhorse) is as solid as they come – but I don’t follow his work in any depth.
Wilcock has been around for a long long time – and really came to attention since early days of Project Camelot (Kerry Cassidy) which split off into Project Camelot and Project Avalon (Bill Ryan). Of the two, I like Bill Ryan – again a solid researcher, speaker and old warhorse. For Wilcock, in this sphere I would truly rather listen to someone like David Icke (also an old warhorse) who is very popular in these circles. Of course David Icke has done some real work and was one of the alternative researchers that broke wide open the pedophilia in high places in the UK. Wilcock is spouting quasi spiritual poppycock in my view -. stream of his own consciousness writings and trying hard to apply this to you, and me. We must of course remember that he is the incarnation of Edgar Cayce, the clairvoyant – or so he says. Claiming to be the alive version of a dead man does not impress me – and I have active interest in these spheres.
In the very short history around The Secret Space Program, the overall research community was small at the time and it was easy to look at well presented research materials. Interest, as you know, has skyrocketed since then and that was the moment that I thought .. oh well, enough people on this – I can pay attention to other stuff now. Perhaps some of the later Secret Space Conferences may have been set up by Goode – I don’t know – but I can truly recommend the early years.
As to Q – you’re right – people get sarcastic about this. Again, my interest has waned from the early days as many others now are speaking out and I can move on. But most cannot be bothered. Why, you may ask? Well, you do a good job trying to keep everyone here in remembrance of Q – but others avoid the Q Befuddlement.
I mean, follow a secret plan by secret operators on faith? Huh? The serious part is that people are so ‘hooked’ that they are losing their lives, their jobs and their families.
So, most do not dive into the detail, because the ‘hook’ of course is to dive into the detail and never emerge from that again – it is designed like this. But there are some that look at the excruciating detail. Bernard Grover has been around for ever and a day and knows the movie business inside and out (You will be reminded of another Q ‘researcher’ that makes similar claims). Bernard now, strangely, lives — well, somewhere.
I will just link just the latest one and a list to look for from Life on the Far Side for those who want a detailed read.

It might be easier to pick out his Q posts from this link: https://plus.google.com/+BernardGrover

‘Those lies are the basis of U.S. and EU anti-Russia sanctions, which remain in effect despite the basis for those sanctions having been exposed unequivocally, on September 17th, to be based on lies. Thus, continuing to hide those lies is crucial to the liars. This is the reason why Russia’s blazingly detailed presentation on September 17th has been virtually ignored — to protect the actually guilty. The evidence here proves that those sanctions, themselves, are nothing but frauds against the public, and crimes against Russia — ongoing additional crimes, which have been, and remain, effectively hidden till now.’

I really shouldn’t have cast aspersions, even in fun, on what he may or may not have in his head regarding Bibi.

The situation in the town of Manbij, in the west of Aleppo province of Syria, has become the most significant issue in the world today. Here is why if you can’t see it.
The Kurdish Contras have invited the Syrian Army yesterday, to take back the city and all the territory under their control west of the Euphrates. This has resulted in the Syrian Army entering Manbij area and surrounding the city, while the local inhabitants raised the national flag on all official buildings.
In the meanwhile, it turned out that French and American occupying troops were still in the city, and are now stuck negotiating exit routes with the Russians and Syrians. The Syrian move can be described as checkmate (Shaikh-Mat, ie the Shaikh was killed). The Turkish Army and its Wahhabi Contras have been attempting to move into the territory for the past 24 hours, but the Americans keep firing flares and warning shots in their direction to keep them at bay. The US is doing this because it is frantically negotiating with the Kurdish Contras and the Syrian Army.
The most significant issue in all of this situation is that of the weapons the Empire has given to the Kurdish Contras over the years of the occupation. The Kurdish Contras announced that they have reached an agreement with the Syrian Army to hand over all the weapons to them, switch their uniforms and blend into the Syrian Army. On the one hand this will result in the Syrian Army capturing millions of dollars worth of weapons from the Empire; and on the other hand it will strip Turkey of its Kurdish Contra excuse to occupy more Syrian territory.
As I write this, the Turkish ministers of defense and foreign affairs are on their way to Moscow to negotiate with their Russian counterparts. The Turks are at the worst position possible, and will be taking whatever the Russians offer, ie they are at no position to negotiate anything.
Long live Sovereign Syria, for it has brought the Imperial order to its knees

Geez….I missed this reply to Red-Pilled sister by the FINALLY (!!!!!) awakening one I have harshly called “Blue-Pilled Sister” ever since seeing The Matrix (years after it came out….in my “nose to the grindstone…avoid Losing Everything Years…before pausing for breath and checking out what was on the World Wide Web:
She wrote, concerning Laith’s report above on Manjib:
“I believe that Assad, for all his faults, did not necessarily target minorities before the civil war. If the Syrians do not have a history of persecuting the Kurds for being Kurds, this may be the smartest way for the Kurds to avoid genocide at the hands of the Turks. I wonder how much discussion about all of this that either Trump or his officials were involved in with all the parties involved, prior to his pull-out announcement – something that we will never hear from the MSM….”
Mind you, this is the sister that walked out of a meeting I took her to in 1980 where she heard a scathing Anti-Zionist report by Marianna Wertz, sister of Anton Chaitkin (who had an article of his featured here by Saker many months ago….Chaitkins are Jewish…probably from Russia originally or Baltics???) saying, “These people are DANGEROUS!”
AND she said, approximately Sept 12, 2001 that she could not even bear to consider my assertion that 911 was an obvious Inside Job (“How dould I get along with people at work??”, she pleadingly implored.) and she probably voted for Bushes for President 3-4 times!
Never Give Up!
On anyone! LOL
An interesting round -up of the years events from Global Research has this to say about how the US and Trump have fared:
‘This complex yearlong trip of the US administration was in many cases fueled by the populist attitude of Donald Trump personally. The US President was actively exploiting various types of foreign enemy – the Assad government, the Chinese, the Russians, Iran and North Korea, which his administration was “defeating” in twitter and mainstream media to solve its own domestic political problems and to justify its course.
Being an experienced showman, the US President was shuffling these foreign enemies hiding failures and showcasing the successes of his administration. For example, despite the obvious failure of the regime-change and anti-Iranian efforts in Syria, the US found time to show its supreme military power by launching another missile strike on the war-torn country. The economic war with China was justified as necessary measures to defend US domestic industry. The expanding anti-Russia sanctions, which since 2014 have failed to deliver a devastating blow to Russia’s economy, were used as an example of Trump’s firm policy towards Vladimir Putin, who is undertaking hostile actions against Western democracy. The anti-Iranian campaign in support of Israeli regional expansion appeared to be described as anti-terror efforts and was even used to turn a blind eye to the unprecedented murder of a journalist in a Saudi consulate in Istanbul. All the abovementioned was deftly packaged by Trump into his concise statement on the assassination of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi: “The world is a very dangerous place!”.’

One Minion, It might be useful to contemplate the possibility that The Donald is not as stupid as he sometimes appears in his unenviable position of having to communicate with and rally support from a population whose understanding of world and domestic issues is predominantly on the intellectual level of a Fourth Grader.
One measure of his political effectiveness is that he is able, with ease, to communicate with them in their language, on their level.
More sophisticated critics have a field day ridiculing this communication.
Could you or I do it??
Would we even want to try???
AND, even many savvy supporters are embarrassed by this fourth grade level language and near moronic intellectual level and wish that he would sound more like themselves.
Yet, the reality of the political situation in the USA is that the Obama and Clinton speaking tours of the last months were complete flops no one wanted to attend….While The Great Orange Showman was filling arenas and other venues and taking the senate seats he had to take for the next round (2018-2020) of the fight to take down the Deep State.
And that’s The Bottom Line here, not sniffling objections to his “style” while dodging dangerous enemies and traps less deceptive operators might not survive a week.
Bro,
Its not his style I object to, its his actions, which are far more indicative of his purpose than any style.
I don’t see any change from the man who bankrupted a string of casinos and walked away from his creditors, letting them go to the wall, while he himself lived to carry on scamming in high style. He is well out of his depth. Filling arenas by pandering to the lowest common denominator isn’t an effective form of government and never will be. Its a great sales tactic though and the Donald is primarily a promoter of the Donald, full stop.
Quantity rarely translates into quality, a Lenin quip, as a commenter on another thread informs me.
But, if its any consolation to you, we have the same shambolic government problems here. We will both go down together, perhaps.

Some veterans news from this side of the pond, from the Morning Star, the only news outlet covering this ongoing story of hunger strikes and their consequences.
The strike organiser said of the government:
“We’ve fallen into the idea that they are in power, but they are only in office. We should not have to pay homage to them.”

More military stuff from Skye News, warning that young soldiers are housed in conditions not fit for animals and will burn in their beds before any problems are admitted and dealt with rather than covered up.
‘However, former army officer and Conservative MP, Johnny Mercer – who also sits on the defence committee – said: “Animals would not be housed in such dangerous conditions.
“It is disgraceful how ministers talk up our armed forces at every opportunity, and yet, away from the spotlight, ask our most loyal public servants to endure totally unacceptable and lethal living environments,” Mr Mercer added.’

Last one Bro, as I really don’t follow the Donald and his antics too closely, just his impact on the rest of us, outside the US.
This is from the American Conservative site, which is not my normal reading matter, not being either American or Conservative but it is a good, if rather long, analysis of how out of his depth the Donald actually is, ‘How Romney loyalists hijacked trumps foreign policy.’
Politics is a vicious game, dog eat dog, and all participants (should) understand that before entering the arena:

Many British elites want Britain to remain in the EU, as they are watching banks and institutions quietly quietly leave Britain and relocate to EU countries. Britain is losing thousands of jobs and untold millions of dollars from Brexit.
The Anglo-American elites do not want Russia to construct any kind of country that would resemble the old Russian Empire. However, many British elites dream of resurrecting the British Commonwealth as an alternative to EU membership:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhzjXSBEp4I
The British elites are divided: Would resurrecting the British Commonwealth offset the loss of business with the EU?
‘Dream’ being the operative word here. The Commonwealth countries that we used to trade with before locking ourselves into the EU were dropped unceremoniously, like a hot potato. They had to scrabble to find other markets then, as we shall have to do now. I doubt any Commonwealth countries will be feeling much sympathy for us and will make us pay, as they should, for our fickleness.
The Commonwealth still exists BTW, but only as a sort of nostalgia club, not as a going concern or trading bloc.
