When my wife and I in the kitchen are sitting around our heavy pine-table
for a supper with a quarter of wine each, then the saker is with us and his
Vineyards different fields of grapes, and with that cafe, where different heads
and harts are sharing their sorrow, disgust, poesy and expertise.
It’s an nearly inconceivable beautifull net acting humans are spinning by
the magic of words since the eightieth years of last century.
Coincidentally this phenomenon happens parallel with a new Gestalt of
thinking, since 1980, according to a meaningfull occurence once in 800 years,
in the air-element = thinking. Hence an unfolding new way of thinking,
mundo frequently is talking about, e.g. this remarkable week:
https://astromundanediary.blogspot.com/2019/01/mysterium-of-three-suns-kin-balance-and.html
Hey mundo ! Re anew way of thinking, this is a very powerful phenomenon and quite subtle as well.
I think everyone has a different path, a different destiny, direction or ‘life predisposition’, and not everyone will feel connected to, or be interested even, in this, quite understandably.
But it may get tricky if there is an accompanying sense of frustration,and intolerance towards others who might be interested, have some awareness of, or want to find out more, and so forth.
It seems to me that adopting something of a ‘Right Mindfulness’ or Right Concentration attitude, or anything positive towards the phenomenon might help, contribute, broaden, or lend understanding to…

Hey Ras, thank you for your thoughtful comment.
“I think everyone has a different path, a different destiny, direction or ‘life predisposition’, and not everyone will feel connected to, or be interested even, in this, quite understandably.”
This is my true to me since 38 years of astrology, after 38 years of ethical, rational, (sometimes militant, sometimes poetical) thinking and acting.
My Idea after about 25 years of trying to help the world to become a better place till I was 38 :
your only matter to have an impact to is yourself. Oddly yet this kind of living seems to achieve a kind of quiet radiation.
Mundo
sorry mistakable, I was talking about the second 38 years, after the first 38 one …

If this report is accurate, the grifters, grafters, corruptors, (zio cons prob at the head of the line) are already being organized as the money will prob be flowing-however, really hope for the syrian people and their destroyed cities that this works out.
The ‘swaggering” US depstate has already opted out to assist in rebuilding cities in which it was insrumental in destroying.

Other than spending millions to build Wahhābī mosques and madrassas in Syria, what would interest the Saudi elites? Do they want to invest in Yemen as well? I would imagine that formal economic “aid” from Saudi Arabia would come with strings attached. The Saudis cannot attract investment to their own country, and yet the (now broke) Saudis will pour money into neighboring countries.
Strangely enough, the Vietnamese seem to have forgotten the relentless American bombing of their country and now eagerly welcome American trade and investment. However, Middle Eastern tribes practice “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.” In Middle Eastern culture, there is no such thing as forgiveness, but revenge. Arabs never forget. Syria is not Vietnam…..or is it?
https://www.vir.com.vn/us-firms-appreciate-vietnams-investment-environment-60941.html
The Vietnamese haven’t forgotten. I visited a few months ago and while it is true that they do not seem to express as much animus against the US as against France (who colonised the place first and by all accounts did the usual brutal colonising things to the local people in their own home) they are far from stupid and know that more dollars come from making tourist traps of certain places than waging a perpetual war.
Something the US has yet to learn, it seems.
I think the Saudi agenda is unchanged, undisputed dictatorial power over that area.
I think we talked about this some time ago.
You were talking to the people who don’t make decisions.
The site is not recommended but truth is what it is https://www.theguardian.com/news/2015/apr/22/vietnam-40-years-on-how-communist-victory-gave-way-to-capitalist-corruption
There is no permanent communist Utopia, all viable systems evolve over time or they stagnate and perish.
And I was talking to exactly the right people, the people I wanted to talk to, the ordinary people in the street who were cheerful and optimistic about their country.
Where do you speak from with your one solid concrete view, just out of interest?
When you say “the US has yet to learn” it seems you do refer to the people who make decisions (and not the “ordinary” people).
If viability means working successfully then it also seems there has never been a viable system (but, of course, success is an opinion). In fact it doesn’t really seem that the system has radically changed at all over the ages – that’s probably why it is unsuccessful (but only for some).
The optimism of the Good Friday Agreement was based in futility (no matter what the optimists thought). There are Trump groupie optimists too – but you already know that.
In answer to your question – relatively close to Bobby Sands death bed.
There was a Vietnamese Good Friday Agreement?
Well, there’s something new for me to check out.
Give my respects to Bobby Sands MP, gone far too soon, as they say.
McCain’s jail cell in the ‘Hanoi Hilton’ is very popular, as is the lovely city centre lake where he ditched his plane and from which he was fished out alive.

That’s a strange way to frame an enquiry. ‘Good’ in what sense? ‘Good’ is a value. If you ask a thousand people what ‘Good’ is then you will receive a thousand different definitions.
And what would Google’s algorithm know about anything to do with human beings and how and what they think and value, being a non-sentient mathematical formulation concocted by a particular bunch of humans for purposes of their own?
Why not just ask the person next to you in a friendly manner?
I suggest you search on ‘Is America good for the jews?’ and just have a look at some of the returned articles…

It’s not a case, then, of what think ‘good’ is but, rather, what the people writing those headlines have in mind… your quibble reminds me of the sterility of British linguistic ‘philosophy’ where the approach is fascinated with the minutae of the meaning of words: what is the meaning of ‘life’, what is the meaning of ‘good’, what is the meaning of ‘truth’ etc. A case of missing the wood for the trees…
What makes you think that any one of those thousands of various random views, or any aggregate of them, is of any more import or weight than the real living person standing next to you, yet another random view?
Have you no view of your own?
Why would I search on such a random question that is meaningless to me?
You can waste your time anyway you want of course.

That comparison shows, assuming it is a honest one by “david”, and not something made up – common in comments, that bing censors news related material more than google does. This something I’ve noticed about bing when using it, there is not as much material of this sort turning up. As bing is from microsoft, I would not be surprised that they censor searches even more than google when it comes to current events and political material.
It’s hard for me to keep up with # 1 Nominated for Space Cadet of 2018…Jordan Sather

I’ll let him tell you………my plasma is running down…..
“Cap’n!! Cap’n!!! I got no powa!
“The mind once expanded never returns to it’s original size” I don’t recall the author but I think many on this site understand. Jordan Sather is a YOUNG man who is able to see much of what I see as an “old” man. I also think Trump and Putin are “trolling” the Deep State. The moneychanger’s grip must end. Blood has and will flow in that endeavor.
The good thing about the expanded mind, the natural extended consciousness, (not artificially enhanced), is that it is able to see varying possibilities, different angles and shifting patterns, all at once, and to move freely from one to another.
I’ll have to add the deep state trolling of Trump and Putin to my surveyors list, though at first glance it doesn’t sound credible, given the totally negative press of “trolling”, but it will receive consideration nonetheless…

The good man has well seen that the riches of the sinking Soviet
Union was an easy prey for the Western hyenas.
And thank you for the nice yellow hat.
That was a good story, Amarynth. I was offered truly ridiculous money to work in Moscow at the time, as it was awash with dodgy characters who were all newly wealthy. I didn’t go for two main reasons, first that I was already heavily committed to another unpaid project and then that the casualties of the privatisation/fraud (ie the ‘losers,’ ordinary people who starved) were covered in graphic, gloating detail on the nightly news.
I had no dependents at the time so it was a simple decision for me, maybe not so simple for those in different circumstances.

As Brazil’s President-elect Jair Bolsonaro prepares to take office on Tuesday, we return to our
conversation with world-renowned political dissident, linguist and author Noam Chomsky shortly
after the election. Bolsonaro’s impending presidency marks the most radical political shift Brazil
since military rule ended more than 30 years ago. Bolsonaro is a former Army officer who has
praised Brazil’s former military dictatorship, spoken in favor of torture and threatened to destroy,
imprison or banish his political opponents. Bolsonaro has also encouraged the police to kill
suspected drug dealers, and once told a female lawmaker she was too ugly to rape. Noam
Chomsky calls Bolsonaro a “disaster for Brazil.”

As SALT and INF and so forth are abandoned it may I imagine be interesting to examine the situation as Radio Moscow spoke…in the days of USSR… some of this is available. Fascinating!
https://archive.org/details/RadioMoscowMoscowMailbag19791/RadioMoscowMoscowMailbag1979_1.mp3
there are several tapes I found…https://archive.org/search.php?query=radio%20moscow
……………
Looking past the matter (mentioned in previous Cafe) of Pathos being inferior to Logos (and Philosophy altogether) it may be of importance to consider how Ethos fits… According to mathema based logic Ethos also is subservient to Logos. The question of ad hominem fallacy fits, I think, inside Pathos…but there are also threads clinging to Ethos, as a secondary effect. Indeed these two, Ethos and Pathos may be the twins that betray Logos itself…so I suspect…
If this is disagreeable, show how, please…If anybody’s interested enough to take the trouble to look ’round and take note of reality.
Cannot each of the three be given similar weight, but each employed separately or in any combination/permutation, depending on the situation and circumstance?
Or are we forever to be subservient to rigid hierarchies in everything, just because some bored person once dreamed up the notion of one thing being superior to a different ‘inferior’ thing?
My view is that first bored person, being boring as well as bored, decided to try to enforce permanent boredom on the rest of us. Good luck with that one, mate.
Well, I am glad you werewvidently not bored by Radio Moscow and arms race N circa 1979…and interested to note your good and relevant question about the future. This is, I am afraid, outside the mathema. Nevertheless it is a dynamic machine, and a mere moment of examination does not reveal the truth. At moments of course it may seem that, for example, Pathos rules reality…just as a magician shows us in the theater…As to the matter of subservient condition, this is defined there, in the mathema. I fear you have not grasped the meaning. It is not a matter of preference or Pathos or Ethos…I made that quite clear. it is simply the way our universe is. NOVA did something on this, aimed at the folks…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By5f5ErCxCM It is for us, alas, to submit, eventually, to this real fact, the core-mathema of which is entirely mysterious, so far. What, may one ask, would people eat if there were no logos? Would they be nourished by beauty or value, etc? From this one can construct the outline…and deduce how the Empire of Magic collapses…and how the Heartland States, and Natios, particularly among the Sates, Russia, may quite probably, prevail over the Globe.
parrhesiastes,
I confess that I have bookmarked but not yet listened to Radio Moscow, time constraints here, distractions etc. so answered your second part first. I will get back to you on that first part.
Are you suggesting that being nourished by beauty or value or play ( food obviously being out of the question as too mundane and banal to contemplate) is impossible or unthinkable?
Personally speaking, food (bread) as nourishment is a necessity while beauty, value and play are perks and bonuses that also nourish but are not vital to survival.
Beauty and Value, or precisely Pathos and Ethos, exist only when Logos permits them to exist…as without a Logos we are dead. Without Logos nothing can live. No eye can savor. This may be seen as a suggestion, but it is actually simply fact. Dogs know it. Bacteria know it. Its part of their “Economy”, their Logos. Logos creates the cascade of Life, value, beauty and so on in a hierarchy of nature. Life first, then water, then food, then other things…
For People, as self-aware creatures, it may be (I simply do not know) that we cannot be People (as opposed to germs) without also Pathos and Ethos. Can we be humans without these things? But, withal, dinner obviously relies on the “ground” of Logos. It seems that the Soviets thought so, I think…they spent freely on Beauty…
In this we seem to agree…that the Pathos and Ethos are good, but chow comes first. I seem to remember one of the Communist Philosophers – (Mao?) saying something like “eat first, then politics”… a vague memory, maybe it was Trotsky…maybe Uncle Karl… Anyway it’s a basic reality, as you say, a necessity.
Sputnik is today the inheritor of the old Soviet Radio Moscow…and I assume that Sputnik has the entire, or most of the entire, set of radio transmissions sent out into the ether. Hundreds of thousands of hours. What I found and mooted at Cafe was only a tiny fraction. Minutes. These are nevertheless germane to the discussion now of the Treaties in limitation of diabolical and infernal(and suicidal) weapons. As a young man I did some work in radio and used to listen to the Soviet news as I could hear it in Los Angeles. In fact I remember hearing some of the taped broadcasts proffered above.
My point about the dominance of Logos ought to be clear, now, or so I hope. Precisely stated, one might say that beauty or justice or value or – well, Pathos / Ethos, cannot feed people dinner. Alas, this is our fate, dictated by the Cosmos, or by the Gods, or simply ‘because!”.
If I wished to bore anybody, then I’d leave the space blank, my friend. Surely this is obvious. And as to doubt…well, saying logical and reasoned things, and facts as well as they are understood does create doubt…doubt about fairy-tales and doubt about delusions. Me? I doubt just about every story, until it’s tested against reason and Logic, and fitted (or not!) into a viable-looking Logos.
Paul’s created doubt about the canonical fairy-tales surrounding the Giza pyramid… And, I will add, also exposed some beauty. Is this a fair example?
What would Giza be if the stone was left in the quarry? The Logos precedes and dominates the rest…
The objective reality of the relationship has been expressed many time, often in Latin, as “non videri sed esse”.
It’s an old thing.
Best!
There’s a lot to be said for blank spaces, but here is probably not the place to say it. Saker ran a short series on arty things recently, asking first ‘what is freedom?’ IIRC.
Worth a look.
An example of the elevation of Pathos to a (temporary) position superior to Logos, wherein Pathos (delusion in the instance) presumes to rule http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/50876.htm
Of course the big example is Hollywood, where everything is illusion…even one’s genital identity, briefly.
Both are pathogenic. Both curated by “Magicians”.
These illusions end when it’s dinner-time…or time to have babies.
I do enjoy reading Fred. For a man with eye problems he sees better than most.
thanks.
parrhesiastes,
Did you know that we (assuming a vigorous and healthy specimen) can last three weeks without food but only three days without water? I don’t know the timing on air but not being able to breathe is extraordinarily unpleasant within a very short time.
You asked “What would Giza be if the stone was left in the quarry?” and my answer is ‘pristine desert, of course’ ……….with no value judgements on the raising of monuments as I am fond of quite a few myself.
Here’s an interesting first-hand view from Gilad Atzmon, a musician and writer who was barred from playing his saxophone in a local venue recently for being a Jewish anti-Zionist, thus labelled ‘anti-semitic’.
Some explanation for anyone interested, there is currently an ongoing battle in the British Labour Party between old-style socialists (i.e. like me) and the more numerous and outraged Blairite remnant (‘centrists’).
http://www.unz.com/gatzmon/the-witch-hunt-from-pontius-pilate-to-the-labour-party/
A couple of articles about what went down that lead Atzmon to write that article:
Fiasco In Islington
https://dissidentvoice.org/2018/12/fiasco-in-islington/
“If the BDS movement doesn’t do it, zealotry and fanatacism will be the undoing of the Zionist project. People don’t like being told what they are allowed to think and say. When our words and thoughts are policed, it makes us question all the more. What were once decent leftist positions against racism and discrimination have been twisted into a new kind of totalitarianism, one in which it is racist to question the racist, and discriminatory to question discrimination; one in which we are told to think something doesn’t exist when we can see with our own eyes that it does. The self-righteous members of the Islington Town Council have set a very dangerous precedent, and have been used as fools on top of it.”
Fiasco In Islington, Part 2
https://dissidentvoice.org/2018/12/fiasco-in-islington-part-2/#more-87678
“The involvement of Likud-Herut in the attack on Gilad Atzmon, and Islington’s official backing of that attack, constitutes a monumental scandal. This wasn’t just a stupid mistake; it was a hit. It is an affront to reason that an an arch-racist organization like Likud, who from the beginning have stood for the removal of the people of Palestine from their own land by means of terror, murder, and forced expulsion, could possibly claim they they were defamed by someone pointing out these very crimes. There is a case of defamation here for sure – the defamation of Gilad Atzmon. For Zionists, defamation is nothing more than a tool to destroy opponents who can’t be dealt with by other means. We are long since tired of truth tellers being accused of antisemitism. We’re tired of national and local resources being used to prop up the criminal state of Israel. Coercion by advocates for Israel is at the center of this issue in Islington, as it is in many other towns and many other countries. For the sake of Palestine and our own sovereignty, it has to be called out and stopped.”
Good articles that cover the reality as I know it, so far. Thanks.
‘Coercion by advocates for Israel is at the center of this issue in Islington, as it is in many other towns and many other countries.’
Its what is at the centre of the Labour Party battle too, a battle that is far from over, from my vantage point.
2018-2019
Brilliant 2018-2019 analysis by The Saker, who sees as clearly and draws word pictures as incisively as Chris Hedges, on a more international canvas.
However…
The propensity of political commentators everywhere to omit the increasingly powerful political drivers of deepening climate chaos remains a drastic strategic oversight.
Ma Nature packs more punch and has much more staying power than all the nuclear armies on this wounded planet. Already, the world’s most bankrupt nation (in every sense of that word) is unable to sustain the ratcheting costs of its reckless and impotent militarism plus relentlessly damaging weather extremes. What happens in 2019 will be, as always, all about energy and climate – and the dangerous idiots in charge of the world’s biggest terrorist state.
Thank you.

The Deep State is orchestrating economic collapse in tune with climate collapse, and doing it pretty well so far.
Look for depopulation and lower demand for finite planet resources to kick in fully with the next, as last, degree C of global warming coming up.
Few can deny that Marxists have extermination down to a fine art.
I defy anyone to look at temperature graphs of the past 10000 years and still believe in this crap science.
You do realise who is selling you this guff, don’t you?
Imagine if you will you are a fact based, unbiased, unafraid scientist who questions rather than accepts the mainstream narrative.
Now go and watch any number of the sceptics on youtube.

Lebanese Boy Wins Praise for Refusing to Compete Against Israeli Player
https://sputniknews.com/viral/201901041071203803-lebanese-chess-boy-israel-enemy/
“Mark Abou Deeb, an eight-year-old Lebanese chess player, has drawn a line in the sand, balking at playing against Israeli opponents at a tournament in Spain, a decision that earned him broad support in Lebanon, the Times of Israel reports.
During an interview on Lebanese TV channel OTV after the tournament, the hosts asked the boy why he refused to play, to which Abou Deeb answered, “Because Israel is an enemy.” After the hosts asked the boy to repeat his answer louder, they replied with “Bravo.”
Abou Deeb competed in November in the World Cadet Chess Championships in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain. Two Israeli boys, Guy Sivan and Tomer Sternfeld, competed in the same age category as Abou Deeb but were never paired against the Lebanese competitor during the tournament.
However, Abou Deeb reportedly said ahead of the event that he wouldn’t play against the Israelis, because that would mean acknowledging “normalization” with the Jewish state.
His decision has been praised in particular by Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Hezbollah movement.
“We have many venerable examples of confronting normalization,” Nasrallah said in November. “Mark Abou Deeb, a Christian Lebanese youngster, participated in an international chess competition in Spain. He set a condition that he will not play with an Israeli because he is an enemy. Hope is here with these youngsters.”
Abou Deeb himself was asked about Nasrallah’s comments during the interview. When the hosts asked the boy whether he knew who Nasrallah is, he replied, “He is a resistance fighter. He liberated Lebanon from Israel.”
And when the hosts asked if the boy had something to say to the movement’s leader, he said, “Thank you,” the Times of Israel reports.”

NBC Reporter Quits Over Network’s ‘Mechanical’ Support for ‘Perpetual War’
https://sputniknews.com/society/201901041071204076-NBC-Reporter-Quits-Network-Perpetual-War/
“In his Tuesday resignation letter, Arkin traces his troubled history with news media, including NBC, which he’s come and gone from several times over the years. Building up to the network’s shift in focus with the advent of Trump and the “social media wave,” he notes that things started to slide downhill after the September 11, 2001, attacks and the country’s dramatic shift toward “our new kind of wars when there were no real fronts and no actual measures of success.”
Arkin laments that since 2001, US media has become less critical of Washington’s policies, and instead of asking the tough questions and reporting on the tough stories, “NBC (and others) meanwhile report the story of war as one of Rumsfeld vs. the Generals, as Wolfowitz vs. Shinseki, as the CIA vs. Cheney, as the bad torturers vs. the more refined, about numbers of troops and number of deaths, and even then Obama vs. the Congress, poor Obama who couldn’t close Guantanamo or reduce nuclear weapons or stand up to Putin because it was just so difficult.”
“We have contributed to turning the world national security into this sort of political story. I find it disheartening that we do not report the failures of the generals and national security leaders. I find it shocking that we essentially condone continued American bumbling in the Middle East and now Africa through our ho-hum reporting,” Arkin laments.
The journalist notes that he has consistently stood against this tendency, remaining critical of “the absence of any sort of strategy for actually defeating terrorism, annoying the increasing gaggles of those who seemed to accept that a state of perpetual war was a necessity.” These gaggles, he later notes, include his editors at NBC, with whom he continually fought.
However, while he notes a certain similarity to Trump in that he tends to favor isolationism over interventionism, Arkin is careful to note the president is “an ignorant and incompetent impostor.”
“For me I realized how out of step I was when I looked at Trump’s various bumbling intuitions: his desire to improve relations with Russia, to denuclearize North Korea, to get out of the Middle East, to question why we are fighting in Africa, even in his attacks on the intelligence community and the FBI.”
“Of course he is an ignorant and incompetent impostor. And yet I’m alarmed at how quick NBC is to mechanically argue the contrary, to be in favor of policies that just spell more conflict and more war. Really? We shouldn’t get out Syria? We shouldn’t go for the bold move of denuclearizing the Korean peninsula? Even on Russia, though we should be concerned about the brittleness of our democracy that it is so vulnerable to manipulation, do we really yearn for the Cold War? And don’t even get me started with the FBI: What? We now lionize this historically destructive institution?”

David Goldman’s comment:
In Israel, people do not live, but survive, 99% of the citizens of Israel live in credit slavery, you are
all slaves of the “Global Credit and Financial Mafia” of crooks.
You have no rights, no – an opportunity to bring the dream closer: to buy an apartment, house, car,
to renovate a house. All citizens have debts to banks.
It’s time to ask yourself some important questions: What can I do here and now, or at least today,
to make the world better?
Your society is teeming with very stupid people.
The dominant elite is a gang of thieves, gangsters, rogues …
“Our society suffers from social schizophrenia.”
More and more I am convinced that most people are “agents” of the current government who do not
want to be elected. This is very convenient, because you get finances from the budget, without any responsibility, and the proximity to the “body” allows you to steal from the budget, using corruption
raised to the state level …
This is a shame for the Jewish people !!!!!!!
Our Israel is doomed and a sad fate awaits it if the people of Israel continue to remain inactive.
We will either learn to live and fight for justice together, or we will perish one by one.
The choice is always there and I think the choice is obvious.
Take power from the financial elite
capitalists, crooks and thieves. ”
The government is corrupt, inefficient, and unable to solve the problems of the housing shortage in
Israel, as well as the problems of poverty, poverty … etc.

Clearly, it is The Time for the Yellow Vests of Jewish and Arab Palestine ………not to “bury their hatchets”…but rather……..to use them on their Common Oppressor.
Israel Shamir shows the Way to Victory, if French Yellow Vest Fashion should come into vogue in both Gaza and the other side of The Zion Wall ……simultaneously:
“Paris sets fashion; their infrequent rebellions define humanity’s future. In 1789 rebellious Parisians buried the Ancien Régime, proclaimed democracy, liberty, equality and fraternity. In 1848 the rebellious Parisians started the Spring of Nations, the great pan-European revolution. In 1871 the Paris Commune became a forerunner of all socialist revolutions. Two world wars, the massive bloodletting of Verdun and Nazi occupation had kept the people of Paris in survival mode, and the next revolution came only in 1968. And now, in 2018, the Parisians put an end to the radical neoliberal project of enslaving humanity.”
……and reveals himself as a Jeffersonian, all for “spilling the blood of tyrants”……to water the tree of Liberte:
“I am not horrified by some broken windows. On ne saurait faire d’omelette sans casser des œufs, you can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs, as a French royalist famously said in 1796. The general de Charette broke heads, not eggs nor windows, and he was executed when caught, but he was still correct. Without some impressive violence, things can’t change. If you just stand in the square and sing a nice song, or if you march down the street shouting this or that, you will achieve nothing. The government loves people singing and marching for climate change or for gay equality. You should know that people are doing a right thing if police attacks them and they defend themselves valiantly.
The Bolsheviks used the battleship Aurora to make their statement. Her salvo in view of the royal palace proved their ability and readiness for violence; they had armed soldiers and sailors to take over the centres of power including banks, post and telegraph offices, and railway stations. At the occasion, windows were broken and people were robbed; this is unfortunate but otherwise, you can’t make an omelette.
During the French Spring, the French marched in their hundreds of thousands in biggest and most peaceful demos Paris ever knew. The government disregarded it completely. The protest has to be violent and sustainable to get somewhere. Only after four rather violent weekends, Macron deigned to respond, and he has met some demands of the GJ – an extra hundred euro for low-paid workers, no tax on the annual bonus or on overtime, no gas price rise. It was a step in the right direction. 16 million middle-class French will enjoy the fruits of Macron’s forced benevolence; it will cost 12 billion euro – a good Christmas present for hard-working people, and proof that violence works.
The American nationalist right is too law-abiding to achieve anything. They used some non-institutionalised violence against blacks, and even that was long time ago. They collect a lot of weapons but never use them against hard targets. They have lost their will to fight. Probably they won’t even defend their President Trump if he were to be removed from power. They have to join forces with some dynamic blacks who aren’t afraid to disobey authority, but for that, they must understand that their enemy is the liberal establishment, not the blacks or immigrants.” ………………
This Shamir Template must also be applied in Israel to free the Arab and Hebrew Slaves.
I doubt there is anything much more revolutionary than an anti-Zionist, ex-Jewish Russian! Even in France. LOL

Russian arrested by FBI for exporting rifle scopes & ammo primers to Russia – court documents
https://www.rt.com/news/448112-russian-citizen-arrested-us/
“A 72-year-old Russian citizen has been arrested in Saipan for attempting to export military-grade equipment, such as night-vision rifle scopes and ammunition primers, to Russia without obtaining a proper permit.
Dmitrii Makarenko was arrested by a FBI agent on Saturday, December 29, in the Northern Mariana Islands, a US territory in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The Russian national was taken into custody on the indictment filed in the Southern District of Florida court back in June, 2017.
Overall, Makarenko has been indicted on 8 counts and is facing 45 years behind bars if found guilty.
Makarenko would order various items from Nevidomy, the owner of Florida-based Primex Group Inc., by email, with the letters cited in the court filings. After receiving an order, Nevidomy procured the equipment from vendors in the US and sent it to Nevidomy, who paid for the items through transfers from accounts in Latvia and China.
While the equipment he ordered was military-grade, the scale of the purchases wasn’t: he allegedly acquired three night-vision rifle scopes and a thermal monocular over the course of three months, all covered by the United States Munitions List.
An attempt by Nevidomy to ship 1,000 ammunition primers to Vladivostok, Russia, in October 2013 failed, however, after US Customs and Border Protection agents seized the package in November, triggering an investigation into a potential illegal export scheme.”

The document dump is just a fraction of the 18,000 secret documents related to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks believed to have been stolen from insurers, law firms, and government agencies.”

‘Operation Iris’ & more: New documents tie Integrity Initiative to spin of Skripal affair
https://www.rt.com/news/448103-integrity-initiative-new-documents/
“Hackers who leaked documents from the Integrity Initiative, a shadowy outfit funded by the UK government, claim they show its connections to the March 2018 alleged poisoning attack in Salisbury and proposed actions against Russia.
The hackers posted a fresh batch of documents purportedly from the Initiative and the Institute on Friday, hinting that both outfits had connections with Western media coverage of the March 2018 alleged poisoning of former Russian spy Sergey Skripal, and the actions against Russia taken subsequently by the UK government and its allies.
https://www.cyberguerrilla.org/blog/operation-integrity-initiative-british-informational-war-against-all-part-4/
One of the documents is the confidential report by Harod Associates, a company hired by the Initiative to conduct “mainstream & social media analysis” of the Skripal scandal coverage. The entire undertaking was dubbed “Operation Iris.”
https://www.pdf-archive.com/2018/12/28/110418—op-iris—report/110418—op-iris—report.pdf
Documents obtained and published by the hackers also show connections between Skripal’s recruiter and neighbor Pablo Miller, the Institute for Statecraft, and the so-called rescue group White Helmets, created in militant-held areas of Syria by a former British official in 2013.
The most intriguing, however, is a document from 2015, in which Victor Madeira of the Institute for Statecraft proposes a series of measures targeting Russia, including mass expulsion of diplomats along the lines of 1971’s Operation Foot. One of the actions by the UK, US and several other NATO countries in the wake of claims that Russia used a nerve agent against Skripal was a mass expulsion of Russian diplomats.
Former MP George Galloway noted that the documents written long before the Salisbury events call for arrests of RT and Sputnik contributors (such as himself), adding, “Makes you think…”
So: #IntegrityInitiative funded by the British Govt called for the arrest of people like me like @afshinrattansi@JohnWight1@NeilClark66 et al in the event of an “incident” like the #Skripal affair. Written incidentally before the #Salisbury events. Makes you think…@RT_com
— George Galloway (@georgegalloway) January 4, 2019″
Alot more info in the article. This exposure of integrity initiative workings will likely be very beneficial for the planet.
The Victor M. magnum opus also forecasts targeting Russian athletes for “doping”, mass expulsion of diplomats, targeting “pro-Russian” civilians via mass online (paid) bot campaigns, y mucho, mucho mas. It’s like a primer for everything we’ve seen since the doc was written, in 2015.
Less remarked on ’till now is the style of the prose. It conjures an army of scarcely-educated millenial bots, willing to do anything to get paid. They are presided over by long winded older cold-warriors for whom “Kremlin” is an all-purpose be-all end-all term, living in a world where Thatcher’s still in office and the style is shoulder pads and hair gel and the 80’s never ended. Their verbose and expensive productions echo very Tavistock/MK-Ultra academese, obviously they are very into mind control, but they seem to be losing and are dimly aware of the fact. As we know, the skill of these people does not come cheap, and someone, somewhere thinks that money changes everything. Control-P on the money machine, that’ll fix it.
I have yet to read the latest releases but you’re probably right about the out-of-touch old-timer ‘Russian hands’ guiding a bunch of millennials into the cyberwar of the future.
On Mark Sleboda’s twitter (above link) I saw the new recruiting ad for the British Army, part of a series themed ‘Belonging.’ On RT’s report there is an old lady at the end saying that they are targeting the kids they have always targeted and I agree with her. Though at first glance the ads are funny and a bit strange, they are precisely aimed at kids wanting a bit more out of life than they already have and ready to take a bit of a risk.
I hope they are not too effective but fear they will be as effective as previous campaigns that have snared some dwindling numbers of vulnerable and barely educated kids as future cannon fodder.

Also, OM, I want to thank you for pointing me towards a very significant Motorhead album, “Overnight Sensation”, which includes the following track, a very accurate commentary on Los Angeles music scenesters of the 80’s and 90’s, very much as I remember them. Their idiocy is still with us today — their offspring inherited everything they stole, very much so. Plus ca change.
“Overnight Sensation
all mouth and no soul

and stole your rock n’ roll”
And that, Ladies and Gentleman, has always been the truth!

From the ‘metro,’ our local freebee daily rag (owned by a Russian oligarch, I think), on the cynicism behind the glossy campaigns:
https://metro.co.uk/2019/01/04/the-armys-new-campaign-brushes-over-the-reality-of-military-life-again-8307547/
The bit about General Barron’s links to Institute of Statecraft; quite a number of generals have been becoming very politically involved (an absolute no-no) lately and their vague and dark rumblings about a possible coup reported freely in the media. I think we are being softened up for the modern ukie version of a coup, if they can pull it off, so the more the ‘Integrity Initiative’ releases are read, the merrier.
Perhaps we could try ridiculing our representatives at every opportunity for doing such an appalling job and allowing this to happen. Perhaps we should remind them who they are supposed to work for and who funds their jobs and many perks.
I am sure that you can think of other things, JJ, that don’t involve a war of all against all.
I try to avoid twisting arms myself but sometimes a boot up the bum is unavoidable.
But only useful if something can be done about this inner cabal of absolute corruption with its agendas-representative of whom exactly are its managers and directors behind the scenes- are shut down….Russia could publish this these peoples in their own sanctions for the world to see…..

AIPAC Takes Newly Elected Congress Members, CNN’s Setmayer on Propaganda Trips to Israel
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/50875.htm
The Israel lobby has been busy taking a wide variety of government officials and opinion makers on fully expense paid trips to Israel this month. The trips cost in the range of $10,000 per person.
Six newly elected House members are on a 5-day visit to Israel, a delegation of northern California “progressive leaders” are on a week-long trip, media commentator Tara Setmayer has just returned from such a trip, and a delegation of southern California progressive leaders returned from their trip earlier this month.
The House participants include liberals and conservatives, Jewish representatives and Christian fundamentalists, Trump supporters and Trump opponents: Tim Burchett (R-TN), Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), Susie Lee (D-NV), Elaine Goodman Luria (D-VA), Denver Riggleman (R-VA) and David Trone (D-MD).
The California participants are County Supervisors John Gioia and Joe Simian, California Democratic Party Executive Committee Member Andrea Beth Damsky, and unknown others. The delegations are named “Northern Pacific Progressive Leaders” and “Southern Pacific Progressive Leaders,” but no one will divulge the rosters.”
The beginning of an excellent article by Alison Weir.
Those were some slick and glossy ads, with every trick of the PR man’s trade covered. I noticed though that ‘Treating wounded Syrian civilians’ was just a headline, flash and gone, no coverage, at all, however brief, to illustrate that claim.
They do the same here, of course. When it surfaced briefly last year, the Maybot was quick to minimise the problem and then airbrush it away. She had to concentrate on not negotiating a good Brexit deal, of course.
I’ll look for the book. Thanks.
One of the reasons I like VFP is that when they can scrape the cash together themselves, they visit old opponents in old battlegrounds and, if possible, salve some old wounds on both sides, concentrating on the solution, not the problem.
“The Israel lobby has been busy taking a wide variety of government officials and opinion makers on fully expense paid trips to Israel this month. The trips cost in the range of $10,000 per person.”
Well Jeffrey Epstein is in trouble at the moment. I guess the honey pot operation fell to the Israeli lobby. Those officials better keep their heads up and eyes open.

Another excellent piece by Matt Taibbi in Rolling Stone. Looks as if Goldman sacs has reached the end?
The Malaysia Scandal Is Starting to Look Dire for Goldman Sachs
A pioneering twist on third-world corruption might be the biggest scandal the Vampire Squid has ever faced
Goldman Sachs, which has survived and thrived despite countless scandals over the years, may have finally stepped in a pile of trouble too deep to escape.
There’s even a Donald Trump angle to this latest great financial mess, but the outlines of that subplot – in a case that has countless – remains vague. The bank itself is in the most immediate danger.
The company’s stock rallied Thursday to close at 165, stopping a five-day slide in which the firm lost almost 12 percent of its market value. The company is down 35 percent for the year, most of that coming in the past three months as Goldman has been battered by headlines about the infamous 1MDB scandal.
Just before Christmas, Malaysian authorities filed criminal charges against Goldman, seeking a stunning $7.5 billion in reparations for the bank’s role in the scandal. Singapore authorities also announced they were expanding their own 1MDB probe to include Goldman.
In the 1MDB scheme, actors tied to former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak allegedly siphoned mountains of cash out of a state investment fund. The misrouted money went to lavish parties with celebrity guests like Alicia Keys, a $35 million jet, works by Monet and Van Gogh, property in New York, Los Angeles and London, and (ironically) the funding of the movie The Wolf of Wall Street.
The cash for this mother of all bacchanals originally came from bonds issued by Goldman, which earned a whopping $600 million from the Malaysians. The bank charged prices for its bond issuance that analysts believe were suspiciously high – like a massage price that suggests you’re probably getting more than a massage.

Unless this pervasive insanity is corrected, there can be no real recovery and emergence of a new economic order based on unlimited human progress.”

“Do not act as if thou wert going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over thee. While thou livest, while it is in thy power, be good.”
From The Meditations By Marcus Aurelius.
A good advice for all of us and wise words.
At about 40 minutes running time, Alex Thomson, an ex GCHQ officer, details what has gone wrong since WWll in Europe, and how we have arrived in the pickle that we are now in. it is quite a complex story but he gives checkable references and shows a number of books from disgruntled Intelligence whistleblowers over the years that have leaked various parts of the story.
US features also, along with the Commonwealth countries, South Africa, Israel, Rothschilds and the City of London, Suez, the growth of corporatism and fascism and the fact that Nazi Germany was defeated militarily but its methods were then incorporated by the Allies so essentially they are having the last laugh, to date.
I’ve read a couple of the books, Spycatcher and the one from the Russian defector, but a lot of this was quite gobsmacking to me and well worth a listen, regardless of how credible or not it seems to the listener given the source, a Brit ex-spook.
I will be listening to it again and doing some spot cross-checks for my own benefit but this is of a different calibre altogether from the sloppy and slightly deranged ‘Integrity Initiative’ project. He lays out the worldwide web of intelligence gathering and points out the strengths and weaknesses of various operators.
IEUSA linked it above but here is the link again:

Please let me know what you find in your cross-references, OM — he named a few people at the end (Lord this, Earl of that) and since I’m not British I don’t know who they are. I for one can never look at the formation of the EU like I used to. One needn’t agree with every single conclusion to say that he seems a most intriguing source. That C-Saw article also has some tidbits worth another look, on Yugoslavia among other topics. I suspect he has some interesting stories and sources himself.
They were mostly minor players in the Brit government at the beginning who rose to prominence and got ennobled in the Thatcher years when this stuff started to become more obvious to the naked eye. But I will make some notes and get back to you.
One thing I would like to do is point out the true definition of Fascism, so that there is no mistake. I notice that definitions now on the web gloss over the salient, defining point, the merger of corporations and state to the point that the corporations dictate policy to governments, in their own interests of course, not in the interests of the people.
Sounds familiar?
This is true Fascism, folks, and we are living under it. Its now called something much cuddlier but it is the same old beast in new clothes.

Crypto Politico Commenter Bix Weir Calls Bullshit on the Death of 26 year old Fox News reporter Bre Payton:
https://youtu.be/XbvhxVc1Dn8
Yeah, when his ego is not directly involved in the “Litecoin is the Right Coin” battle against Brock Pierce (who does not respond to him) and EOS, Bix has pretty sharp observations on a very wide range of…….related things that seemed unrelated to many persons….but ARE related.
Mueller-Russia-gate….are the Big Time connections on this one…….
My instincts were similar before I saw this, but BIX has a lot more detail, background.
Strange, unremorseful family, parents. Maybe Bre has joined the Space Force and is not on the planet for a good little while to come..it almost looks like some of them (Mom in particular) can’t resist smiling.
Lousy actors.??…..LOL.
Bro,
It is entirely within possibility that this was not a natural death in the circumstances, but the reaction of the family does not really add anything to any evidence as people do react strangely to unexpected deaths of those close to them. There is no rule for reaction and not everyone, for their own various reasons, does the ‘Hollywood grief’ response. By that I mean buckets of tears, wailing and tearing of hair. The family may be in shock, (which is a clinical condition) which would explain the glassy eyed smiles and determination to appear normal.
My sister died very young, after a long illness, and when I put the phone down after getting the news I just went back to what I was doing before, totally numb, as it took a while to sink in. That is not at all an unusual response, its just not the ‘correct Hollywood response’ we are all taught to expect.
Look up ‘The Dingo Did It’ case where a woman called Chamberlain was jailed in Australia for infanticide, purely for not doing a ‘Hollywood response.’ It took four coroner’s inquests to get her conviction quashed, just because she didn’t grieve to the ‘correct’ Hollywood established formula.
UK Info Warfare Docs Prove Sputnik, RT Valued for Professionalism – Watchdog
https://sputniknews.com/analysis/201901061071247146-uk-integrity-initiative-info-warfare/
“Anonymous has recently leaked another bunch of files that the hackers claimed had been obtained from the Integrity Initiative, a state-run British project for targeting global Russian media influence.
Leaked reports on Sputnik and RT influence commissioned by the UK government prove the media outlets are valued for their professionalism, the secretary of the Russian Union of Journalists told Sputnik.
“The smear campaign against our colleagues has backlashed against those involved in it. The audience has ignored this media circus and accusations against Russian outlets in favor of their professionalism, independence and compatibility,” Union’s Timur Shafir said.
The project allegedly paid around 1,000 pounds to the author of one report, identified as Jassar Jamal Al-Tahat from Amman, Jordan.
The project appears to have researched Sputnik and RT, using taxpayers’ money. The reports found that the outlets were a social media success. They were also credited with growing mistrust of western media.
A report of the UK-based organization also said that RT, specifically, was seen as the most trusted source giving the other side of the story after the audience’s long exposure to dominant Western narrative.”
YPG Offers to Surrender its Zones in Syria for Kurdish Autonomy – Reports
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201901061071248153-syria-ypg-kurdish-autonomy-offer/
“Syrian Kurdish YPG leader Sipan Hemo offered last month to hand over control of Kurdish-held lands to the Syrian government in return for Kurdish autonomy, media said Saturday.
The Kurdish militia commander came to Russia’s Hmeimim base in western Syria days after the US president announced troop withdrawal from the country, Asharq al-Awsat reported.
Hemo then travelled to Damascus to tell Syrian authorities that YPG was ready to give up control of the Syrian-Turkish border, before going to Moscow on December 29.
In Russia, the Kurdish leader asked for assurances and suggested that Moscow bring out of mothballs a draft constitution it had proposed for Syria, which guaranteed the Kurdish right for self-determination.
The publication linked this trip to the surprise handover of the flashpoint Manbij city to the Syrian army on December 28, which was confirmed nearly simultaneously by the Syrian government and Kurdish forces.”

Some US Troops Could Remain in South Syria After Pullout – Reports
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201901051071247077-usa-troops-pullot-syria/
“US national security adviser John Bolton reportedly plans during his trip to Israel to discuss maintaining US presence in Syria to counter the Iranian threat.
NBC news reported, citing a senior US official, that some US troops could stay behind at the key At Tanf base in southern Syria after American forces leave the country.”
Given his past duplicity, trumps pullout of u.s. troops from Syria is another israeli ruse. Some will be transferred, those whose jobs are finished, but a core of terrorist organisers will remain and operate covertly.
Econ 101: Trump Gov’t Shutdown Costs More Than His Border Wall Budget
https://sputniknews.com/us/201901051071246785-trump-gov-shutdown-costs-more-than-border-wall-budget/
“During a 16-day government shutdown in 2013, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), said that it “cost us more to shut the government down than to keep it open.”
“We are paying people to do nothing,” Gordon Gray, director of fiscal policy of the advocacy group American Action Forum, told MONEY. “That’s basically pure waste. It’s one way that the federal government is basically taking money and throwing it out the window.”
In a report published this week, Gray added that “government shutdowns impose costs through three channels: federal budgetary costs, forgone services, and, last and most amorphous, economic disruption.”
In addition, an analysis of the October 2013 government shutdown by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), revealed that GDP growth was decreased by between 0.2-0.6 percent, equivalent to a economic loss of between $2-$6 billion.
According to Gray, the costs of the current shutdown are similar to those of the 2013 shutdown.
“The notion that much of the government should shut down because of disagreements in one tiny area of government spending defies logic and common sense. No business would operate that way,” Gale observed. “While the political grandstanding continues, the economy will suffer.”
But israel needs the u.s. public distracted, and the time honoured pindo way of getting the old emigrants to hate the new ones has always worked in the past. So israel’s trump toy will continue throwing his tantrum and the usa will take another hit for their zionazi-gay masters.

Anonymous hackers told that London had been preparing the “Skripal case” since 2015
Author: Fedor Vesnin
Moscow, January 5th. Hackers from the Anonymous association have published documents
proving, according to them, that the UK has been preparing the “Skripal case” since 2015.
The idea to impose sanctions against Russia, the hackers found out, belongs to Victor Madeira
from the Institute for Statecraft. He voiced it in early 2015, proposing to repeat Operation Leg
(in 1971, 105 Soviet diplomats were expelled from the UK. – Approx. FAN).
The head of the institute, Chris Donnelly, subsequently hired a specialist in chemical and bio-
logical weapons from Porton Down – Mark Andrew Laverik.
After Sergey Skrypal was poisoned in March 2018, the Integrity Initiative project, whose leader-
ship in 2015 devoted plans to prepare provocations against the Russian Federation, begins an
active information campaign and collects more and more “evidence” of the Russian involvement
in the Salisbury incident.
At the same time, hackers note, there are too many suspicious coincidences around the investiga-
tion of the “Skripal case”. For example, in the summer the Skriprel recruiter Pablo Miller visited the
Institute of Public Administration, and in the fall his colleague published a book based on an inter-
view with an ex-employee of the GRU, which was taken six months before the poisoning.
Recall that in March London accused Moscow of the fact that the Russian special services were
allegedly involved in the poisoning of the former GRU employee Sergei Skripal and his daughter
in British Salisbury. Russian officials have denied all allegations.
The two Russians, whom the UK declared “suspected” of poisoning, turned out to be tourists who
are interested in Gothic architecture.

Fear and loathing in USA:
(Not the most worthwhile post, but it coincides with the forum, and this poster no less . . .:)
The Ukraine has now become officially legitimized as a full-fledged political cult; how the rest unfolds, in the near future, is still to be determined; but, the aptly named, ukronazis, will most likely make every effort, both conceivable and inconceivable, to prove their moniker correct; to prove to themselves, and to the whole world, who they really are, beyond all doubt.
How did this ‘proper time’, fall so soon, upon us? the right time to grant autocephaly, that is. Well, who knows, really; not Donald Trump, certainly. But, maybe some, amongst us Americans, do know, what made the timing just right? yes, insinuating the American Orthodox Metropolia, aka, the OCA. As some will know, the Metropolia, in exchange for full legal rights, and the uncontested possession of Russian foreign church property, happily stabbed their own Orthodox brothers in the back, by secretly collaborating with the Soviet authorities in exchange for full autonomy; and then boldly making the public statement, that the Soviet state does not persecute Christians! To this day, not acknowledging or recognizing, for various reasons, this hypocrisy, the Metropolia has remained in a particular place of limbo, still subject in degrees to the Russian mother church, as long as the Phanar does not recognize them in this, their full capacity. In short, to jump to conclusions, it is this question (which was never in doubt, but only in negotiations) of the Metropolia recognizing the Phanars tomos to Poroshenko, that necessitated this, the slightest of delays — that, and the clever coordinations with the nazi regime holocaust histories.
To continue this thread into another chapter, America’s already much divided Orthodoxy, is likely to divide much more openly and absolutely on this cause. Should the Metropolia take this route to its conclusion, as they have done before, it will be nothing short of choosing sides for the coming battle. To what extent that battle unfolds here in America, who can say; except for our only prognostications and forewarning on these matters, delivered indirectly stateside, by A.I. Solzhenitsyn, that no Yankee should be too hopeful on these matters (to paraphrase). But it is this particular poster’s opinion, that the Metropolia will take Poroshenko bait, and swallow the hook.
