The state is that great fiction by which everyone tries to live at the expense of everyone else.
Frederic Bastiat
Others say that The State is that institution which lays exclusive claim to the legitimate use of violence.
Yes, Fred may have spoken as Troy says…but since Troy has chosen to proffer another man’s ideas, let us see what that man was…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric_Bastiat
Comrade Hudson proffers yet another, and perhaps more honest view…that the State is the institution to uses the exclusive right to violence to release men from slavery…debt slavery. The State is the institution that hangs the bankers?
Either is is that, or it’s kidnapped by feudalistic creeps, until the sans culottes force the State to act properly. Or replace it…

I propose that Troy is incorrect, or more precisely, Fred Bastait was a lying creep serving the estate of creeps…and, sadly,Troy has innocently repeated the canard. It is simply a false claim. This is easily demonstrated…in fact it is evident prima facie.
“Power resides where men believe it resides. It’s a trick, a shadow on the wall. And a very small man can cast a very large shadow.” — Lord Varys, Game of Thrones.
If it is intended to imply that power is simply imaginary, then I’d suggest a visit to Mao

Reality, Comrade, is precisely not a matter of opinion. The idea that everything is a matter of will or trick or beliefs, is nonsensical – it is also an essential idea that Empire desires the multitude to believe – everything is will, one’s gender, one’s race, one’s community…all entirely a matter of opinion…
As, also, is the idea that the State is an instrument intrinsically evil. This false idea serves those who would rule us, those who would kidnap and sell off the one institution that can lawfully control the elite.
I think you are more right than the anti-statists, anarchists and liberterians……who are more than a bit too infantile to be taken completely seriously..
They just want to be left alone and pay no taxes….they say…….but if their sailboat is sinking they expect to be able to get off a government regulated radio signal “May Day! MayDay! MAy Day!”….and get rescued by the Coast Guard. LOL
Update: YPG says 2 British soldiers were wounded, deny Syria TV report
https://mobile.almasdarnews.com/article/update-ypg-says-2-british-soldiers-were-wounded-deny-syria-tv-report/
“Denying a previous report by state-owned Syria TV, the YPG said that the two British soldiers were badly wounded when the Islamic State terror organization fired an anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) towards the advancing Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Al-Shafah.
At least one fighter from the Syrian Democratic Forces is believed to have been killed as a result of this Islamic State attack.
Earlier today, Syria TV reported two British soldiers with the Anti-ISIS Coalition were killed when a missile hit their positions in the town of Al-Shafah.
The Syrian Democratic Forces are currently in control of more than 75 percent of Al-Shafah at this time, leaving only the southern part of the town still under the Islamic State’s influence.”
Whether dead or badly wounded, the 2 are out of action for the duration. It is likely these are special forces, and probably part of the command elements.
Iraq Rejects Iran Sanctions and US Troop Presence
https://geopoliticsalert.com/iraq-iran-sanctions-us-troop
“Speaking to journalists on Wednesday, Iraqi Foreign Minister Mohammed Ali al-Hakim laid out the latest step on the path to independence for Baghdad from the US concerning sanctions on Iran by Washington. Although Iraq currently has a 90-day waiver to trade with Iran issued on December 20th, Hakim let reporters know Iraq would be pursuing their own policy on Iran should the waiver not be renewed.
There are also discussions ongoing concerning increasing the amount of trade between Baghdad and Tehran despite US pressure. Iraqi President Barham Salih and his Iranian President Hassan Rouhani even doubled down on this during a recent meeting where Rouhani said that Tehran was willing to increase trade with Baghdad from the $12 billion a year mark to $20 billion.
Hakim assured reporters Iraq is already thinking of “solutions” to counteract any US threats to increased trade with Iran. According to Hakim, there are multiple options open to Baghdad “including dealing in Iraqi dinars in bilateral trade” as opposed to US dollars.
Many Iraqi leaders called Trump’s surprise visit to their country a violation of their nation’s sovereignty. This has ended up leading to a wider backlash and resulted in multiple Iraqi politicians demanding a complete end to the US military presence in the country.
This all comes as the Trump regime is attempting to cement new positions in the Middle East by way of new bases on the Iraq-Syria border. According to some Iraqi MPs such as Badr al-Zaidi who has said that the new bases violate “agreements between Iraq and the US were on the pullout of foreign forces from Iraq after 2013.”
Iran has complained that EU has not as they said they would by the end of 2018 made instrumental the special measures to protect trade with Iran……work in progress??????
The arrogance of America is simply breathtaking:
“Iraq gets 90-day Iran sanctions waiver from Washington”
https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2018/12/20/583501/Iraq-gets-90day-Iran-sanctions-waiver-from-Washington
The US is essentially telling Iraqis that American permission is required if they are to trade with Iran – a neighboring country.
Who here remember that ISIS was on the outskirts of Baghdad with the acquiescence of the US, before Iran intervened?
Were it not for Iran, Iraq would have disintergrated.
Iraqis need to reclaim their sovereignty by showing the Americans the door.
The American empire is collapsing, and its precisely because of stupid stunts like this.
Going forward, Iran and Iraq must ensure that trade between the 2 neighboring countries are unrestricted by any third parties, and this trading must only be conducted using their national currencies.
America’s biggest export is the $US dollar.
If more and more countries refuse to use it, the empire will collapse on itself.
Selah
who here remembers that mossul, a 1 000 000 inhabitants town with 2 full army regiments of 10 000 soldiers each, was conquered by 1500 isis fighters with light weapondry and us state department bought pick up trucks?
And that the aforementioned batallions fled their bases withouth consideration for protocol, leaving the keys for the heavy weapondry?
And that stormscloudgathering predictes such move to arm isis months in advance?
I do.
Has anyone heard of Jake Morphonius of Blackstone Intelligence?
I saw a few of his analysis and I thought they were pretty good, (like the kertch strait situation) but have never heard of him until now.
Yes. I like him and he is reasonable in among a bad lot – at least to me.

The reason elements within the MSM attacks Q is solely because they believe it has ties to Trump. Not because they perceive it has legitimacy and that is a huge distinction.
and one more:
The Sirius Report

Jan 5
Most telling that Q followers rarely question why endless promises have failed to materialise.
Continue to place trust in a plan they have zero visibility of and/or offer convoluted and utterly implausible reasons for these failed promises.
They also get upset when challenged.
————–
I love your quote Troy Ounce!
————–
And Bolton has swept into the Middle East wanting guarantees from the Turks that they won’t massacre the Kurds. But Russia has already done that thing and got the Turks under control.
(Actually, he wants to cement the US mission ..
but more actually, he wants the Turks to cancel their buy of S400 in favor of US system ..
or more actually, he wants Bibi to stop crying ..
or really he wants to softly walk back Trump’s troop drawdown ..
Pick one!).
I believe Pompeo is there as well, or vising imminently. Watch the space.
This year started too fast! :-)
If you follow Q closely these comments are irrelevant, so they are meant to discourage you rather than the deranged space cadets.
You’ve just stated the problem. If one follows Q closely, everything else becomes irrelevant, and that my friend, is a very serious problem.
Yes, I understand what you mean.
On the other hand, if it’s real, you wouldn’t want to miss it would you?
Exposing 9/11, JFK, ending the Fed, ending c_a evil doers, ending the deliberate deindustrialisation of the economy, repudiating the global warming liars, making peace with the world and denying the globalists their one world government and removing them from positions of influence.
Fairly ambitious.
What are the odds that such champions would emerge at seconds to midnight?
Not so long, I would say.
To be expected you might say. There are 300 million exceptionals after all.
You can’t tell me President Trump is not having a go and you can’t tell me he is not making progress.
If the Q army ends up feeling deceived it will not do T’s election chances much good next year.
There is undoubtedly a relationship and co-ordination between Q and T.
I’m a believer until I’m not.
“I’m a believer until I’m not.” (smiles) we have a difference of lifestance here but it should not stop us talking.
Not wanting to creative further divisions and truly in a spirit of friendly debate, here are the issues for me just using the list that you provided. We simply see things differently. I’ll number them for ease.
1. Exposing 9/11 – there is yet another inquiry of some sort here. But exposing? Not that I can see.
,
2. JFK – no evidence of anything new here – a few redacted documents.
Take a look at what Paul Craig Roberts has to say on the above 2 points;
https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/01/04/9-11-finally-the-truth-comes-out/
3. ending the Fed . yes? when and where? I see the 2 entities bouncing the economic ball to make markets react. But what I also see, is two entities positioning to be able to blame the other if the ball gets dropped. I am certainly not alone in this view. And is the fed the problem? What about the Bank of International Settlements? What about the International Monetary Fund?
4. ending c_a evil doers – not sure what the word is with the c and the a (call me an idiot – I hope it is momentary only)
5. ending the deliberate deindustrialisation of the economy – some, and it has to be done – I don’t like the clawback from others – I don’t like the military budgets. Industrializing the suppliers of the weapons industries seems to me more of same old, same old.
6. repudiating the global warming liars
I can stop here for a moment and good that you say this. I’m trying to figure out at the moment what the deal is here. Warming? Cooling? Minimums? This is a mess.
In this quest to find something that makes sense I am still swimming in information, so, I cannot take any position on this. Stuff is changing for sure – a farmer’s daughter notices these things, but cyclical? long term? these are questions unanswered. My sister and I have been doing some long term observation sharing – and things are changing.
Russia for example does not seem to be worried too much – This I found an interesting video –
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkjRs4BJFME
I went to search for Russian information (thinking cold and then Siberia lol) and checked out the Northern Route. There seems to be all kinds of interesting things happening and Russia is building clever icebreakers to beat the band. They are not worried.
http://tass.com/society/984271
http://arctic-centre.com/en/news/item/159-russian-scientists-will-study-the-impact-of-global-warming-on-the-arctic
I have a list of links as long as my arm to check out, so, I cannot say.
7. making peace with the world and denying the globalists their one world government and removing them from positions of influence – I cannot see this – I see Bolton and Pompeo and warmakers . Bolton wants war:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2amYcQI8vMI
I don’t see peaceniks and a sober interaction with the rest of the world. I see pompous threats and pompous promises and they are being walked back (See Syria right now).
I see the trade war negotiations started again this morning, while a US aircraft carrier deliberately went messing into areas of the South China sea that China claims and is in negotiations about, with their neighbors. This action today looks very deliberate and we also know that Xi just last week put China’s military forces on a readiness for war level.
So, we know sometimes with high level negotiations, it is considered part of the game to try and psyche out your opponents. Well, this one is just going to cause anger and this game has the potential to put the economics of the whole world into a place that hurts. Not wise to play ‘silly buggers’ with deplorables like you and me.
And the whole fight against the so-called one-world-government — well, to my mind Putin and Xi have long time worked on a multipolar world and we have belt and road slowing down because of trade war, but still going forward – each country in that massive system expected to remain its own country. So, who is really fighting the socalled one-world.government?. I think this has become a rallying cry but folks don’t analise.
Anyway .. have to start work.
Excellent, amarynth! Gives me something to ponder upon (or as they say, to study on, think on, heh)!
Thanks much!
It is a pleasure Taras 77. As I said somewhere else, it sure feels as if this year started just too fast with so many things happening. I’m glad some of our other Cafe’ers are checking up on the ‘integrity initiative’ and I also really appreciated Larchmonter445’s reminder to basically ‘do the work’.
c_a is how Q refers to the CIA. (denying them intelligence).
Q referred to John McCain as ‘no name’ (in military circles he was a traitor and they could not speak his name).
Q refers to Obama as Hussein (indicating his secret motivations).
Etc.
So, who is really fighting the so called one-world.government?
My great hope is that a certain nucleus of patriots within the US military have had enough. That they received intelligence by chance which would nail the traitorous leadership of past administrations legally and comprehensively and who have confided in and are coordinating with President Putin of Russia and probably President Xi of China to eradicate the threat of the anglo/zionist empire.
Mr Trump became their candidate. He wins the election and it’s game on.
The government itself, the judiciary, the secret agencies, the financiers and the media are occupied by the zionist organisers/puppets, not just in the USA but the entire western world.
Mr Trump becomes the most powerful man in the world but with traitors behind every door except the military.
How do you imagine you would go about winning this greatest of all battles?
As of this writing there are 2667 Q posts at the following address
https://qanon.pub/
It begins in October 2017 with the latest posts made today.
Unfortunately the US military occupies exactly the same cultural space as the rest of us and so is subject to the same cultural forces and fashions that are at play on the rest of us. That means that they are just as confused and disoriented and will follow anyone who makes some surface common sense, without thinking through the consequences and considering the long view. This makes them as easily led as anyone, before factoring in the trained and enforced obedience and discipline that defines a military.
It is an unthinking discipline that they are taught and practice for a reason (for the moment try not to assign ‘good’ or ‘bad’ labels here.)
Humans need to think quite hard to determine whether something is in their best long term interest or not. Thinking is done by the individual, never by a crowd.
Obama was a master of high sounding rhetoric, one of the reasons he was picked as President. He could make anything sound good, for a while–until you stopped and thought about what he was actually saying beneath the fine words.
Trump is a master of common rhetoric, one of the reasons he was picked as President. He could make anything sound good to listeners who spoke the same language or type of rhetoric, until you stop and think about what he is really saying beneath the common words we can all understand.
My point is that the two methods are not different in result, they are different in surface content, choice of words, but not in where they are leading us. The destination is the same, unthinking following of whoever speaks your particular language. Led by the nose in both cases.
Look clearly at the result, the proof of the pudding is not in the fine words of whichever type, its in the actions, which still sometimes lie but not remotely as much as the rhetoric.
There is a German saying, ‘Each chooses his own way to Hell’ There is not a hair’s breadth of difference between Obama or Trump, they both serve the same masters but appeal to different sectors of the people. Trump is no more your saviour than Obama was. He cannot ever be.
You start saving yourself when you start thinking for yourself with your own God-given brain, not someone else’s second-hand thoughts.
This is often difficult and painful, which is why few try it until they are forced into it by circumstances beyond their control.
We, all of us of all political stripe, are being set up here for a fall. I don’t intend to take the bait but will be vapourised along with everyone else regardless if we do not collectively start thinking and acting in our own best interests, not in the interests of the so called ‘masters.’
They are currently ‘masters’ of rhetoric and narrative, so have taken upon themselves to make decisions for us.
Time to change that.
Ear ye… ear ye!
Its hard to agree with you more!
We are being cast in roles we wouldnt accept if we knew them before hand.

Ok, Got it! At the beginning and end of the universe then. Simple.
Science – like everything else in this day and age – has become a Jewish Mafia clown show of the most grotesque order.
Science, or more correctly the scientific method rigorously applied, is the last beacon of sanity in our crazy mixed up world. It is our only hope to live peacefully on this earth for a few more years.
I’m not a fan of space cadets of any sort, scientific, religious or those who, having messed up this world, just look for another frontier/world to mess up in exactly the same way.
There are still good rigorous scientists working today, and some of them are Jews, some Christian, some even Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist, Hindu, Jain….. ad infinitum.
Well said one minion. I am have the privilege of working in an industry where the scientific method is used daily in an effort to provide real-world benefits to society and civilisation.
I think that we should be careful to avoid conflating the hijacking or manipulation of science for political objectives with the pursuit of knowledge, exploration and discovery. Moreover, I also work with a number of scientists and researchers that hold religious or spiritual beliefs, even if they are in the minority. This matters little if are all standing together at the barricades in an effort to make the world a better place.
Merry Christmas!
According to this chap, Davis Ellis, speaking at the same small presentation as Alex Thomson, the ex-GCHQ spook, the reason that the details of the Maybot’s famous Brexit deal are so murky is that the real deal has already been done—- under the table, as the culmination of a very long term plan.
The deal does not include defence. All of it, including any remaining defence manufacturing, BAE etc, which will remain with the EU as military union is already baked in, with EU command centres already built at RAF Northwood, Potsdam and in Greece. Rolls Royce which makes aero engines and nuclear bits etc, not just fancy motors, is in the process of being carved up and transferred in parts to US and China. The nuclear deterrent (subs) is to be transferred to EU control—- though we still pay for all this.
And what will this new Grande Armée do apart from march on Moscow? It might be forward planning for the ‘disorder’ that will result when the done deal is finally revealed.
This sounds like quite a deal, 50 mins running time:

If this is so (and it probably is so), it is also in concord with history…elites cannot do much else…steal and leave town?

Soft little patty-pawed rats peeing on what they cannot devour?

………………
But to happy stuff! CUNY has restored a large set of video interviews, available to all…
Some of the interviews will, I expect, interest especially Saker and associated intellectuals…these are snap-shots in the creation of mythos, a false history, by degrees, and salted with truth enough to make it palatable, sort of…
LIST: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_at_Night
Youtube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2DDD0C11959AD229
Just now? H K Smith, the first and last American (a southerner lefty) to head the British labor party, and more… In the interview my old pal (we did exchange letters) rather skips over his Marxist past…which must have embarrassed him – but that’s the way Merka is, and was. Smith knew about poverty, and hard work. He was grounded in Reality, though, compromised, he mitigated.
If he had not? Then we would not have him… And? Things that do not happen, did not happen, in Time.
parrhesiastes,
Thanks but the video you linked is blocked here, commercial considerations no doubt, as it is the property of Fox, I’m told. Can you be more specific about who is being interviewed so that I can look for it, or at least something pertaining to the interviewee, elsewhere?
HK Smith? We did have, briefly, a John Smith, Scot, but he had a sudden heart attack that fortuitously paved the way for Tony Blair’s meteoric rise to power, not that I am casting aspersions or anything. ;)
Huuummm…let’s be sure….Host James Day discusses with Howard K. Smith, t.v. newscaster, the validity of the present day (for them the 1970s) journalism and how news reporting is slowly transitioning into entertainment broadcasting….https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2DDD0C11959AD229
H K Smith was a news guy for the US networks. He, in the interview, carefully slathers yet another layer of paint over himself. His core truth was that he was a closet Marxist, I am pretty sure of this because I studied him as part of an inquiry I made into v Luckner, a man (a spy) Smith knew slightly in Berlin in the 1930s and ’40’s. In W2 Luckner surrendered Erfurt to to…get this…Lowell Thomas (also a spy). Smith was the last man to leave the Third Reich – 07 December 1941 – Train into Switzerland. His PhD was given by Heidelberg – something he carefully fails to mention…
He was at Oxford when he took office in the Labor Party – and a dedicated “radical”…. To keep his jobs, later in life, his compromises with Power were necessary, but not courageous. In the interview he’s spinning out yet another set of soft lies. He does mention some true things of course, including the facts (then!) that the British ruling elite and the American ruling elite are closely aligned, with the Brit component more stable and better unified. Since then, however, this fact has evidently perfected itself as a unified class to some degree…though this too must be doomed…nobody stops Time…
I have a transcript…but it’s not what Moderator would, I imagine, appreciate. He’ll delete or cut it, I expect.
I do not think blockage by your inter-net is proper, CUNY made the videos public, and they’re supposed to be a nonprofit…
700 lines of transcript removed … mod
I had actually looked up ‘HK Smith, labour politician’ for myself but only got a lady sci-fi author (not my thing except for the Russians, Zamyatin and the brothers who wrote the original novel of the ‘Stalker’ film) who is also at Detective Police Constable by day. It made me laugh so I bought a book.
So Labour club, not Labour Party. You know, I suppose, about Cecil Rhodes and his purpose in funding his scholars? Bill Clinton was another. Your friend must have been quite shocked to discover what was expected of him in return for his year amongst the spires. No wonder he felt compromised.
Glad you twigged to it…indeed, poor Smith. I believe he himself misspoke in the interview…wherein he said labour party.
Smith and I exchanged letters about v Luckner. We were thus acquainted. His letters to me were helpful in what they avoided saying, not in what they said. At the time (40 years ago or so) it seemed odd…of course we are older now…
Well, he had kids and bills to pay…and so he mitigated…
So, yes, his co-opted condition is pretty obvious when the interview is taken in the context of reality.
Are there any men not compromised? I rather doubt it…maybe Seth Rich…but would he be un-compromised if he were alive?
That Great Man Kurt W… is also interviewed on Day at Night… I assume this too is blocked for you, but perhaps not for others…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1BE2f1Nd54&t=0s&index=34&list=PL2DDD0C11959AD229

Regarding online experts in the InfoWars, bloggers, frequent posters in Twitter, and the YouTube Faces who deliver their sermonettes via video—
In the half-life of the time spent getting these sources, anyone of modest intellect can collect Facts and Analyze them for oneself.
What is your process for obtaining nutrition? Do you go to a restaurant and watch others eat?
I suggest the process you use with Food should be the process you use for Information, Knowledge and to build your own opinion.
Test your sources against the reality days and weeks later. If Sputniknews posts something and it holds water days and weeks later, that builds trust in most of what they post. If MOA, Bernhard, blogs with his take on geopolitical developments and it holds water days and weeks later, you build trust with him. If Saker warns or instructs on various topics, and that rings true over time or tests accurately against historical development, you can rely on his knowledge and opinion. If Thierry Meyssan in Voltairenet.org explores a hot topic, you can test his analysis because he sources so deeply most of his articles.
Learn to trust your own brain. It is probably thrice that of the bozos who seems to be “expert”.
And all mankind has limits, so a person you trust probably has very clear limits, expertise, knowledge and judgment. Few persons have encyclopedic knowledge.
The final thought on this topic in brief is to look for ideological bias. Ideology is the great misleader. It surely will hit the nail on the head once, and generally miss all the other nails it attempts to hammer. Search for the philosophical, the POV that is not stuck in a rut of ideology.
In today’s open source info world, use at least 10-15 sources of News. Seek at least 8-10 analysts on specific leading topics. From this mesh of facts and opinions, you can begin to understand distant and complex events.
Today, you can source from Russia, China, Iran, India, Europe, ME, Latin America and Asia.
Fortunately, a number of such sources are brought here to the Vineyard by Saker’s relationships and his philosophy of free thinking and respect for all civilizations and many cultures.

Use Hollywood films to counter China & Russia: Integrity Initiative psyop plan exposed in new leaks
https://www.rt.com/news/448211-integrity-initiative-oscars-hollywood-film/
“Heroes in White Helmets?
Integrity Initiative has acknowledged that its documents were “hacked,” but issued a double denial of the validity of the files recovered, saying they may not be genuine, but also “dated and never used.” Even if real, it is tempting to dismiss the memorandum as a piece of bedroom fantasy – frustrated spooks dreaming of pulling the strings of multi-billion conglomerates.
It’s all just too far-fetched: after all it wouldn’t be possible to suggest to multi-billion conglomerate Neflix that they should make an uncritical documentary film about the (Western-funded) White Helmets in Syria, and then have that documentary put forward for an Oscar nomination, which it captures, thus sealing the story of heroism, forever available in 21 languages.
No one is saying that Integrity Initiative is stuffing Oscar ballots, or brainwashing George Clooney, but a nudge there, a little Hollywood heart-bleeding here, a dash of newsworthiness on top of it, and next you are watching Rambo III about the heroic mujahideen fighting the Soviets, or Rocky IV, and cheering against Ivan Drago. Or closer to the present day, would McMafia, a 2018 US-UK series about international Russian crime, based on a 2008 book, be as readily commissioned five years ago?”

Sudan Debunks Netanyahu Boasts of ‘Normalization,’ Denies Airspace Access
https://sputniknews.com/africa/201901071071264305-sudan-israel-airspace-denial/
“In December 2018, the Israeli Prime Minister boasted that Israeli planes can freely fly through Sudan airspace thanks to a “normalization” of bilateral relations.
Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir announced Saturday that his administration has denied the use of country’s airspace for flights toward Israel, denouncing an earlier statement by Netanyahu that Israeli planes could fly over Sudan to South America.
Speaking on Sudanese television, Omar al-Bashir said that Sudan “will not be the first nor the last to normalize relations with Israel.” Earlier on Thursday, al-Bashir said that he “has been advised” to normalize relation with the Jewish state.
The Sudanese president blamed the “Zionist lobby that controls Western countries,” for sanctions imposed on his nation, alleging that Tel Aviv has a plan to destroy its Arab neighbors, while pointing out that Israel has supported rebels fighting against the Sudanese government and is behind what the African described as an economic and diplomatic siege.
Al-Bashir also noted that the Israeli Air Force has bombed Khartoum, the nation’s capital, on two occasions in 2012 and 2014. Media outlets reported the attacks by Tel Aviv on military facilities in Khartoum, and Sudan has held Israel responsible for the attacks.”

Or, VT, Trump may be a Chameleon whose first order of priority is to Survive Another Day……
Hence the frequent most notable changes in tune, color, hue, shading and skin texture.
Perhaps it were wiser to flank his enemies, put them on the defensive ….and bring about a new situation in which he can calmly sit down with other national leaders of The Four Major Powers…such as Putin, especially …..and finally show what His True Colors are…protected by an environment of enhanced security…and reduced animus…all the way around.
Or we could do the opposite, of course. That could definitely be more emotionally gratifying to many persons….clearly! ..and spend every waking hour .hoping that he goes down either through assassination or impeachment…..and never really know the answer to the question that really matters…..but nevertheless “Feel Good” about his demise….because we could really care less what His True Colors might be.
The answer which counts, IMHO…… is NOT whether we like him or not as the chameleon that he has been, thus far, two years into his first term…but something far more important for the world’s population…that has not been allowed full honest expression…as yet…what we have are some good signs and a lot more flip-flopping inconsistency……………… which don’t tell us nearly as much as they determined consistency of his domestic and British Empire opposition….which is infinitely more “telling”…as London Paul would say. ..
Trump IS a chameleon whose first order of priority is to survive another day……… (just like the rest of us) which is entirely understandable given what is ranged against him.
Its not what people generally look for in a leader though or what is needed for stable government of a large group.
It may be emotionally gratifying to many also to cling to the IDEA of Trump as a saviour, but do his actions and purpose, i.e. bald reality, support that idea? Or do they indicate that many people are hopelessly lost, looking outside of themselves for direction and need to try some other method of finding a good direction?
From Ron Paul: I’m starting to wonder whether President Trump has any power over US foreign policy at all. Many people believe that the US president is just a figurehead, with actual foreign policy firmly in the hands of the deep state. Trump’s latest dramatic U-turn on pulling troops from Syria certainly feeds such theories.

I’ve been watching an absorbing film, made by Yugoslavs, on how their country was colonised– socially, economically, politically, and of course, militarily.
Its two hours, but fascinating if you are interested in where this is all going, in how far this has all gone already.
The narrator, a US Yugoslav, gives at the end a brief summation on how this could have been avoided.
Hindsight is easy of course but the solution is as obvious as it is difficult to implement, otherwise we would all be there already.

A comment I posted on Eric Zuesse’s recent article ‘MH17 Turnabout: Ukraine’s Guilt Now Proven’ which can be read in full here:
https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2018/12/31/mh17-turnabout-ukraine-guilt-now-proven.html
My own opinion is that MH-17 was initially shot by a Ukrainian SU-25 using an Israeli Python air-to-air missile, likely the radar guided model which specifically targets the cockpit of large aircraft, and then finished off by the SU-25’s 30mm cannon. My reasons, based on “known knowns” as Donald Rumsfeld once said:
In the early 2000’s several Ukrainian SU-25’s were fitted to carry Israeli Python air-to-air missiles, which have a warhead of around 15kg. A BUK warhead is about 75kg. The Dutch commission claimed the warhead size to be around 30kg. The Python missile has software which specifically targets the cockpit of large aircraft, which is exactly where MH-17 was hit.
The damage to the cockpit area shows both entry and exit holes on the same side of the same pieces of fuselage, something that cannot result from a single missile warhead exploding on only one side of the aircraft. The projectiles had to come from both sides, meaning there had to be two missiles and/or another source of projectiles such as a cannon or machine gun. That rules out a single BUK missile.
A BUK missile has a solid fuel rocket motor that leaves a long straight white SMOKE – not quickly evaporating vapour as a liquid fuel rocket motor – trail that remains clearly visible for around 15 minutes before dispersing. It was a clear day with scattered clouds and little wind to disperse the smoke trail, yet not a single witness I am aware of claims to have seen such an obvious smoke trail that day, much less one pointing up to the location where the airliner was hit and exploded.
Several independent local eyewitnesses interviewed immediately after the shoot down claimed to have seen a small aircraft following MH-17 just before the explosion, and watched the small aircraft follow MH-17 down for some distance before flying off to the west. None of them claimed to have seen a missile vapour trail.
Russian radar tracking allegedly showed a second small aircraft following MH-17 immediately before it was shot down. They identified this aircraft as an SU-25, but did not give details as to how they knew what type of aircraft it was. Military aircraft on a mission normally have their identification transponders turned off.
For Ukraine using a Mig-29 or SU-27 dedicated air superiority fighter would have been an obvious give-away. Too much chance of somebody seeing it take off or land, or having Russian military radar watching it wondering what it was doing over Donetsk when the DPR had no military aircraft. But using an SU-25 would be low profile since the Ukrainian Air Force was attacking the LPR and DPR with SU-25s every day at that point of the war. The SU-25 pilot need only be supplied with a small portable oxygen tank and mask that would last about 15 minutes to do the job. The plane can climb well over 10,000 metres as long as the pilot has an oxygen supply.
The test done by the Russian manufacturer of the BUK missile systems on the very similar cockpit of a decommissioned IL-86 airliner which exploded a BUK warhead exactly where the Dutch commission claimed it was, based on the shrapnel pattern, showed quite a different shrapnel pattern and more extensive damage as you would expect from the much larger BUK warhead. The Dutch commission refused to attend or send an observer to the BUK warhead demonstration test.
Anyone looking at the photos of the wreckage in the first few days before anything had been moved, as I did, in particular the large piece below the pilot’s window, could clearly see that there were many small irregular shaped inward bent holes around the port side cockpit skin from shrapnel, presumably from a missile warhead exploding just off the port side of the cockpit, and a smaller number of larger round holes of about 30mm diameter, some flared outward, apparently originating from a machine gun located to the starboard side of the MH-17’s cockpit. This corresponds to the cannon shell holes in the port wing which came from ahead of the plane, likely fired by the trailing SU-25 as MH-17 turned to starboard after the initial missile hit, exposing it’s starboard cockpit side to a following aircraft. Any stray bullets would be coming from ahead and to starboard, hitting the port wing after passing through the cockpit or fuselage.
In short, a SU-25 was chosen for the job because it would blend in with the other attacking SU-25s over Donetsk, and because it would be difficult to explain why the Ukrainian Air Force had a Mig-29 or SU-27 in the vicinity of MH-17 on that day. An air-to-air missile was used for the initial hit on the cockpit, and the SU-25 finished MH-17 off with it’s cannon as the airliner made a starboard turn back toward Kiev, whether under the control of a still living pilot or or not.
The shoot down only occurred over the DPR because the Kiev Air Traffic Control redirected MH-17 from its normal route over the Sea of Azov and ordered them to overfly an active war zone. No valid reason has ever been provided by Kiev for ordering this unusual change in flight plan, and the cockpit voice recorder tape which would reveal what the MH-17 pilots said about it between themselves, if anything, has never been made public.
There were many reasons for the shoot down. Israel needed a big story to cover its planned massive assault on Gaza which started only a few hours later, killing thousands over a couple of weeks, and went virtually unreported as all the media coverage was about MH-17.
The CIA and USA wanted payback against Malaysia for hosting the War Crimes Tribunal that indicted the Bush regime and Israel for starting wars of aggression in Iraq and Gaza.
Poroshenko needed to get the LPR and DPR self-defence militias certified as “Terrorists” because that would automatically kick in laws in most Western countries making it illegal for anyone to support or aid them in any way.
The US State Department, CIA, and their “allies” in the Western governments needed a pretext to start a new cold war with Russia that would enable them to start shovelling truck loads of money into their military industrial complexes without any questions or opposition in their various parliaments.
In short, it was a multipurpose False Flag that fitted many agendas.
Thanks for that Terry, most helpful and informative for those of us with only a hazy idea of the modern hardware and tech involved.
Everything he said is in very close alignment with my own examination of the crime. I seem to also recall that it is claimed that there was an eye witness in the ground crew as Su25 returned sans missile (dead or disappeared?)
Also I seem to recall pilot has had a regrettable accident. If I were either man I might be learning to spell my new name and memorize my new legend…what was mom’s family name again?
He touches on this: ” They identified this aircraft as an SU-25, but did not give details as to how they knew what type of aircraft it was. Military aircraft on a mission normally have their identification transponders turned off.”
Aircraft emit in the electromagnetic spectrum according to their design and operation…and this emission set can be characterized well enough to ID an Nth aircraft. IR emission may, for example, indicate two heat jets, thus eliminating aircraft with only one hot jet. Similarly “TEMPEST” type emission sometimes is available from internal systems, such as spurious radio emissions from ignition system. At 25,000 feet breathing O2 in a Su25 it seems to me that a flame out or stall is a possibility – I would expect pilot to leave (I assume redundant ignitors in dual engine) all 4 ignition “on” at such flight conditions. Normally in US jets it is “off”, so I understand… But these are only one of many primary emission from the machine. Another source exists.
The atmosphere and space near Earth is noisy in the RF/EMS spectrum – radars sweeping, radio stations transmitting, and so forth. Some of this includes actually tracking radars. They say that Ru has tracking radar on this crime… If the noise to signal ratio and the receiver discrimination good enough, for example, one can count from the returned signal the number of first stage compressor blades…and automatically in receiver locus compare this data (and all one can get, tempest, active return, passive return, visual, even acoustical data (sometimes)) – compare this data set to known characteristics of a large set of aircraft… It is not radar like in the movies…many radar can be ganged up…they say SS300 and everything since then is ganged up such that the sky is illuminated over thousands of square km and within a vertical space…so it’s Cubic Km, big numbers…
Soviet and inherited radar @ about 14Mc were effective against F117 in the criminal OTAN attack on Yugoslavia,,,one wants full spectrum of radar – from visual to DC – so to speak.
Last summer, camping, I had the pleasure of meeting by chance a pair of Slavs who claimed a kill on an OTAN aircraft…they were getting drunk in the backwoods of California…they were very pleased to find a pal who understood what had happened, and we all drank to VVP (rather too many times!).
Details about such lists are kept secret, so is the degree of capability…pretty much everybody knows pretty much all, but maintaining operational capabilities make it highly desirable to keep secret what one can, and keep on doing it better.
Some may wish to consider how a polar data set from a single point radar transmitter could be integrated to a 4 dimensional and predictive Cartesian coordinated space… There are a very large number of singularities in the maths. These may be processed rapidly, but not with a binary digital computer…which has to round-off or estimate each singularity…must guess…and the “answer” the firing data, is necessarily wrong. The more radars are ganged, the worse this basic flaw gets.
The Soviets experimented with base 3 computers…built 50 of them. They said to be are faster, and do fractions better. Get it? I believe Saker once spoke to these base 3 machines and defer to him – and wonder if he also suspects that the base 3 experience leads to a better way to process ganged data without singularities.
My hunch is that this work enabled the modern ganged radar of S300 et sec, eg S400, S500 and so on. Just my ignorant hunch…the last radar I touched had motor driven deflection and vacuum tubes…the rocks were still smoking back then.
But I assume that Ru tracked the Su25 with non-exotic and probably somewhat ordinary radar, ie obsolete radar.
I agree that the BUK scenario is unlikely. It had been considered early on and discarded since there was no evidence that a missile was actually launched on that day. However, I’m not sure that your argument that the aircraft was necessarily a SU-25 is particularly compelling though. Russia accused Ukraine of operating a military aircraft in the vicinity of MH-17 early on and requested information on its mission. As far as I know, Ukraine simply denied this and never provided information. So I don’t see why it would have been any more problematic for Kiev to explain the presence of a Mig-29 as opposed to a SU-25. They would have simply stonewalled.
What is very strange to me though, is that the story presented by the Russian Ministry of Defense has changed over time. Although Russia asserts that they can find no evidence to support the BUK scenario, The SU-25 is no longer cited. See for example,
https://www.rbth.com/international/2016/09/28/new-information-from-defense-ministry-on-mh17-increases-confusion_634035
The article states that NO military aircraft were aloft near MH-17 at that time. This directly contradicts the earlier claim that a military aircraft (SU-25 or otherwise) was on a mission near MH-17. Do you have any thoughts on this?
A couple of points. Although an SU-25 is designed for low level support there is nothing preventing it from flying at 32,000′ with pilot oxygen. Even so there is no need to fly above its 16-25000′ normal height if launching a missile that can climb to level 320. The argument that the SU-25 can’t fly as fast as MH17 is also a lame one. I personally favour the Python hypothesis since nobody saw a BUK trail and the copious paper trail for the supposed BUK proves it went to Ukraine in 1986 and never left Ukro territory.
Aside from ground radar and onboard radar you can identify any airliner with an ipad just by pointing at it from the ground -ADSB info is freely available on Flightaware.com so identification and exact location would be easy and especially so since MH17 was redirected away from a normal flight path to the desired target area.
Questions that have always puzzled me though with the damage from supposed 30mm cannon shell holes in the cockpit area. They appear to come from the side and are on both sides. There should be fragments from these shells, metallurgical forensic confirmation and chemical residues if they were high explosive rather than armour piercing. Just from the entry or exit holes there should be a smear of metal that lab forensics could identify.
I have never seen any data to support this.
The nazis shot the bird, murdered the people and children. This is how we know who they are.
Everything after that is smoke and mirrors.
I shall await the end of the war and the trials…hoping that this occurs before the criminals pass on to Celestial Justice (if any!) (Hey, it’s Our Job, not the old fellas – and He’s liable to take a broad view…)
Remember how Abraham settled for 10%? I should prefer a more precise assignment of guilt…there might be only 9 % righteous men, and then where would I be? And y’all?
……………
As to 32, 000 feet… I have doubts…25,000? Sure. O2 in both examples, but TUC @ 32 is dicey… ATC took the flight low on purpose… remember th Spanish controller? He’s gone like a cool breeze…
Su25 engine, like all engines, are optimized…@25 I’m quite sure they’d work pretty well, but @ 32? Is question for Soviet/ Ru motor engineers… and what would be stall speeds? I should strongly prefer the lower altitude, but I am a careful old guy – fighterjocks? Well, maybe 32…but this does not seem necessary to the actual event.
Either way, we agree, the nazis shot down MH17 and murdered the innocent…

Coffin corner at FL320 for an SU-25? I lack the data to asses this one -but if this was an Israeli modified version from Georgia as some have speculated then maybe not. FL320 for humans on O2 is no issue at all nor for a Mach 4 Python missile..
US dispatches large military convoy to Deir Ezzor

“The U.S. Coalition dispatched dozens of military trucks to the Deir Ezzor Governorate recently, despite President Donald Trump’s announcement about withdrawing American troops from Syria.
According to a local report, the U.S. Coalition sent a massive convoy of weapons to their allies from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in rural Deir Ezzor this past weekend.
The report noted that this was the third US military convoy sent to Syria after Trump’s withdrawal announcement.”

‘Puppet’: Maduro Claims National Assembly President ‘Created by US Intelligence’
https://sputniknews.com/latam/201901071071266848-venezuela-maduro-national-assembly-accusations/
“Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has claimed that Juan Guaido, the new president of the country’s opposition-controlled National Assembly, is a US agent.
“He is a puppet, an American agent, created by… the US intelligence agencies, it is them who control him”, Maduro told Venezuela’s state television.
Maduro has also accused US National Security Adviser John Bolton of plotting a coup with the help of Colombia, whose president Ivan Duque, Maduro claimed, was part of the plan.
In December, Maduro said he had instructed the country’s Armed Forces to maintain the highest level of combat readiness to defeat “imperialistic plots”.
No doubt this guaido ( is that name a combination of guano and guido) is one the “move the embassy to Jerusalem” club so popular among the new fashion line of quislings coup’ed into place recently in Latin America.
US Secretary of State Pompeo Enlists Allies to ‘Return Democracy’ to Venezuela
https://venezuelanalysis.com/news/14202
“US allies Brazil and Colombia have repeatedly voiced support for regime change efforts.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with allies in a tour of Latin America this week, in which he talked about stepping up US-led efforts against Venezuela.
The Trump administration has been increasingly hostile towards the Caribbean nation, escalating sanctions and even threatening a military “option.”
Pompeo’s tour, which was also meant to address concerns about China’s growing presence in the region, started in Peru. Following a meeting with Peruvian Foreign Minister Nestor Bardales, the former CIA director stressed the need to “increase pressure” on the Venezuelan government.
Pompeo then flew to Brasilia for the inauguration of Jair Bolsonaro. In meetings with Brazil’s new president and Foreign Minister Ernesto Araujo, he discussed joint efforts against the governments of Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
A former army captain during Brazil’s military dictatorship, ultra-right Bolsonaro took office on January 1 following his election victory in October. In his first speech as president he vowed to “value Judeo-Christian traditions” and that Brazil would be free from “socialism, a giant state and political correctness.”
And total subservience to our israeli zionazi-gay masters, Brazilian quisling, bs scenario, forgot to add.

Re Alex Thomson and cross checking, just about everything he talked about is public domain or common knowledge, as you would expect since he is subject to the Official Secrets Act (as are all Betty’s subjects, signature or not) until he dies. it was how it was put together that I found so astonishing. It could still be an elabororate misdirection being trialled, of course, designed to fuel unease. I’m already uneasy without this new stuff.
I did wade through a fair bit on the Octopus story, which concerns possible dodgy dealing at the Dept of Justice going back decades which may be of more interest to you than our old (and mostly gone now)politicos. The journalist Danny Casalaro (?) who wrote the book met an untimely end but there is a bit about the tale on the net. PROMIS was the forerunner of Prism and possibly just a modified update according to Danny.
The Solar System has Changed. More of it is now being included in The Noosphere
The Chinese ….Chang’e Spacecraft reportedly landed succesfully on the dark side of the moon and Vladimir Vernadsky’s Noosphere (the realm reached by human consciousness and knowledge…even through instrumentation…..) has expanded in the first week of 2019.
A lot of people in the Alt media distrust NASA and say it is full of Nazi’s keeping scientific secrets hidden from us to further empower the Rothschilds and Make Slaves Out of US All. Permanently.
Obama said “Been There, Done That” about the Apollo Missions and scotched the idea of ever returning, as though we know all there is to know there….and couldn’t possibly learn anything more.
Don’t Look There, Look Here: “Gender is a Choice”.
Given the naming of the Chinese lunar missions to date as “Chang’e……1,2,3 and 4” I am concluding that if the next phase of their explorations is titled “Hop’ e 1,2,3 and 4 ” we definitely have some High Orbit trolling of Hussein going on!
Such are my ruminations after digesting the LPAC Lead this morning:
“Shedding Light on Planet Earth
NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine confirmed over the weekend that NASA’s invitation to Russian Roscosmos Director General Dmitry Rogozin to visit the United States had been cancelled, due to pressure from U.S. Senators committed to unrelenting confrontation with Russia. This decision is not just one more provocation by the U.S. “War Party,” which orbits tightly around the British Empire’s policy Establishment. It comes at a crucial moment of potential cooperation of four major powers—Russia, China, India and the U.S.—on the most critical of matters facing mankind: scientific cooperation on space exploration, the next great frontier of mankind’s growing dominion over our universe. Efforts to thwart such needed cooperation are truly a crime against humanity.
As Wu Weiren, chief of China’s lunar program stated so eloquently right after the spectacular Chang’e-4 lunar far side landing: “Exploring the unknown is human nature. The Moon is a mysterious world to us. We have a responsibility to explore and to understand it. Exploration of the Moon will also deepen our understanding of Earth and ourselves.”
The pressure applied in this instance by U.S. Senators, is just one component of the British Empire’s strategy to use the new U.S. Congress—including its media-magnified drive to impeach President Donald Trump; the ongoing Mueller witchhunt; and international pressure by “foreign powers” (i.e., the British), to put a straitjacket on President Trump. They are deployed to simply prevent him, by hook or by crook, from governing as President, based on the policies for which he was elected.
Also indicative of this approach are the 11th-hour efforts to sabotage Trump’s Syrian withdrawal policy, since they fear its potential for totally reorganizing Southwest Asia away from decades (even centuries) of the British Empire’s bloody geopolitical Great Game.’

Very interesting, Bro.
Not really relevant to your post but during my wading through erstwhile whistleblowers of the Intelligence persuasion recently, I came across a Richard Tomlinson, a long forgotten and somewhat dubious (Brit? or maybe a colonial) ex-spook who had a grudge against his former employers and tried to sue them for sacking him. He accomplished one good thing though, as he secured the employment rights of spooks (they had none before) to a tribunal in the event of unfair dismissal.
He apparently had contact with your outfit and passed a list of names to the Executive Review (?), there was quite a row about it. It made me think of you and smile. :)
Thanks for that…..For your information, OM, there was a British member of the Executive Intelligence Review staff ….and National Executive Committee of the LaRouche Organization until maybe the late 1980’s when the Deep State (under GHWB as president) came down on Lyndon like a ton of bricks and did manage to instill real fear in the ranks.
His name was Christopher White. On a trip home (from NYC to UK) in the 70’s he was abducted, drugged and “programmed” under torture/brainwashing.
This was resolved and Chris returned to normal functioning and leadership role for some years.after that ordeal was dissected and remedied..
His American wife Carol White wrote a gripping book in the early eighties presaging many horrors to afflict the West since in more blatant expression than in her time of writing it.
Its title was The New Dark Ages Conspiracy and it featured in depth exposes particularly of HG Wells and the Huxleys through to the Tavistock Institute and the launching of the Rock, Drug Sex Counterculture…..modelled on the Dionysian cults of ancient times.
I had never heard of Tomlinson however.
But I have thought of the English back to Thomas Paine in the 1770s and through to London Paul……amarynth and yourself, here, in light of similar thoughts…..hold on to your bowler hat! …..LOL… concerning our now some months absent Irish Catholic contingent…the Love Army Commander and Left Field Marshall Anonymouse.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, you know!
There’s a common thread uniting the dilemmas of the Awakening Yanks (to the fact that we have been God-Awful and a lot more bad and not “good”..for a very long stretch now…….the pro-human English,,,,,Irish Catholics…..as a subset of what is rumored to be the best of all Catholics.
Let’s see what I can do to try to make my thoughts on this subject intelligible tomorrow.when I am fresh as a daisy at 4-6 am and might even include Taras 77…. at least tangentially……who has a Russian “handle” but evidently didn’t have the great fortune of being born Russian…of what so many now admire as heroic stock.
‘…the Deep State (under GHWB as president) came down on Lyndon like a ton of bricks and did manage to instill real fear in the ranks.’
That’s the mark of the rise to, and maintaining a death-grip on, power for the Deep State. It tolerates no significant competition of any kind, ever, of course.

Not so much about Radar as it is about material…but it takes two hands to see in the RF spectrum…

The use of metamaterial for design of radar absorbing material (RAM) is discussed. … (you get the idea) ε′
Previously I mentioned counting compressor blades…this was stuff discussed openly in the 1950’s – the machines and materials have, ahemm, improved.
Blades can alter the degree polarization and the frequency of the return signal…takes really good clock and more to decode this sort of data. Mixing signals creates derivative outputs… electronics 101
Those big fat jet compressor intakes would, I expect, ID a Su25 easily. The airplane looks like a great radar target.

The Slavs were Serbs from Montenegro. Interesting to consider that the crimes of OTAN have ongoing unintended consequences…like finding these guys on a sweltering hot California day, standing in icy water, chatting in Russian 10 meters from my afternoon napping self – that awoke me… “Hey! You guys Russian!? I yelled from my sleeping-bag. “No! We are Serbs!”…after that we became pals… For them being among a sea of delusional people – for them it was a great pleasure to meet somebody not delusional. Me too. I don’t know if they were really involved with OTAN’s nifty airplanes, but they absolutely were the right guys, they said so, and were the right age, the right background…so if not them, then their relations probably did get a solid hit.

in those days I has a ” civilian contract employee”… Happily all I did was get paid…and I never had to refuse to work. Mostly we simply sat around in shelters playing cards or reading cheap novels. Many men “went TDY”…and interestingly when they returned there was a divide, unspoken disapproval, generally. The older men knew what NATO had done, the young guys lied to each other and made jokes.

Reading the History, and the history that’s implied by deduction, reading the history of espionage by USSR in the US… The canonical history is nonsense…FDR wanted the USSR to know everything…not everybody who worked for FDR felt the same way…but many did. They were later hounded in the McCarthy period and on into the recent past. Strong evidence suggests MI6 did FDR to death…a struggle for control of the US? What else was possible for UK and the corpulent drunk, Winston?
But the point is that I observe that USSR had willing sources in the US – in abundance. Why was this? Does this suggest that now, today, there may also be a large number of ordinary people who would ah, “not approve of the present policies of the US” and would desire therefor to give information to Russia? More generally, give it all to the world? (as is now possible, but in W2 period was not) Well, we see precisely this, and assume much more “traffic” remains secret.
Thinking along these lines it seems to me “highly likely!” (sorry, it’s so camp!) anyway highly likely that Ru is fairly swamped with Americans offering secrets…I assume Ru has everything on, well, everything.
Repeat> Logic, evidence, and history suggest strongly that the US can’t keep any significant secrets from the Russians.? And what has Ru said about it…well, “We know everything” was what VVP said.
A boffin I knew once told me about secrets…not the secrets themselves, but about them..”there are no secrets, or at least very few, most so-called secrets are public”, he said. But what is secret is that this or that known thing is supposed to be a secret. The list of known things is the secret.
Considering this I reason VVP’s speaking the truth…that Russia knows everything. Anybody who has a good technical education and also a sound grasp of history and geopolitics, economics…a good well-rounded graduate level of knowledge can pretty much also know pretty much everything. Lots of reading of obscure journals helps…old diaries, so does age.
And the pogroms, the witch hunts, the neo-McCarthy-ism being curated by deepstate? These are probably based on a real fear that, once again, a Russian American Friendship is liable to undo, or at least ravel, the fascist plans for global dominion. The witch hunt fever in US makes an obscene sense. It is also silly.
So…what does Ru know? What I ask, is the most important thing?
I submit that precisely this most important secret is public information…and it’s obvious what the thing is, as a set of one is always a slamdunk, and only one set can account for the actions of VVP/Ru.

A couple of quick comments on the two articles I linked over at non MSM news today-(sidebAR NOW) did not have space w/ descript of link: the UK MOD article quoting williamson is beyond laughable, for the uk to demonstrate moral, military, global leadeship but the irony is so thick it has all of the integrity initiative,skripal written all over it IMHO;
-second article debunking false flag on uss cole-which occrred several weeks prior to 911-immensely coincidental if you believe in coincidences, I do not! Quinn, the author does yeoman work and research with bottom line, it could NOT be two terrorists in a dinghy-sadly laughable when one examines his solid research! It may be redundant but will post the link again:
https://www.sott.net/article/404309-The-Bombing-of-The-USS-Cole-2-Jihadis-on-a-Quarter-Ton-of-Horseshit
Which brings me to what has been bothering me for quite some time, ever since I started digging into JFk investigation farce, then MLK, then RFK, ad naueseum, the big one, 911, after cole. (How in the hell does anyone not wonder. as Roberts has, when is it all over because as of now, this q thing and the ad nauseum youtubes with patreon contibutions is the rage-it is a big cottage industry but to what result-nothing but a big pile of steaming gavno.
With very few, very few, exceptions, no one is willing to stand up and say, this is absolute bull shit, what the hell are we saying,
e.g. JFK warren commision, “magic bullet”, bogus autopsy, missing pieces of brain, on and on.
I did not want this to become a stream of conscience rant but there are tons of events that govt criminals in charge just run off and say, nothing to see here, just move along, and the prostituted press abides and the matter is buried. Obviously, in a lot of cases, there is risk to life, to family, to job, to property (e.g. clinton crime cabal)
Other quick examples come to mind to which, my understanding is that no one has decided to dig, for various reasons (the reasons and culprits are obvious):
going back, Pat tillman, “afghan ff death” very murky, buried, mcchrystal up his eyeballs on changing story, maybe brennan (narcotic traffic;
Mike hastings, again mcChrystal up to eyeballs for motivation, prob brennen with pending invest by hastings;
Clinton crime family long list of dead, little rock, drug running, prob human trafficing;
with mossad, cia, mi6, it seems that whatever, whatever, where in the hell is the law, the justice, answer nowhere, it is the money, the corruption.
My only hope in this mess is putin and the russians, who are playing the cards close their chest, prob wisely:
BTW,
MH17 and odessa, there were taped conver of ogligarchs involved but the tapes disappeared, move along.
Anyway, running out of time, stone cold sober rant over!
With MI6, (the only one I can speak about as a Brit) it is written into law that they can operate outside the law if necessary. It is probably the same for CIA and Mossad. That gives them a position of no accountability whatsoever–they can do what they like and never face consequences, as we can see if we look at the record over the years.
There have been attempts to change this over the years, with oversight committees etc, but committees are easily co-opted just by selection of who serves on them (loyalists to the cause, whatever the cause currently is) but in Britain certainly, these attempts only serve as whitewashing jobs, producing a slightly different but still deceptive narrative where, again, no-one is ever held accountable, to date.
So, business as usual.
I would quit looking for justice in these things as you will never find it, it isn’t there, ‘no spoon’ as someone said.
That doesn’t mean giving up, it means giving up on that system and looking at building an alternative system, a more honest and open system.
Russia and China are doing just that, building alternate, parallel systems so that they no longer have to rely on the old, corrupt-beyond-remedy systems that currently have us in a death-grip and won’t be letting go willingly any time soon.
Thanks much, one minion.
I have long since forgotten about justice as I’m sure has the family of Pat Tillman, the family pf Mike Hastings, the families of …..
I guess that is why cynicism abounds and no one expects any changes. That is the tragic part, nothing changes, but maybe that too will “change.”
I remain quite amazed at the Russians, Putin, his uncanny ability to see bull shit for what it was early on, and went about building and forging! In hind sight, prob not too difficult as IMHO the last leader we had in us was jfk and look what that got him.
The Salandria’s approach:
“rather than getting bogged down in endless analysis of bullets, trajectories, and grassy knolls, looking instead at the way the official inquiry completely brushes aside any evidence but that which supports its predetermined narrative, and asking if this is the way anyone who really wanted to get to the truth (rather than someone who wanted to cover up the truth) would behave.”
I’m saving a lot of time by not even trying to discuss fact and arguments about something that clearly has been designed to be confusing and obscure.
JFK was a con. 911 was a con. boston bombing was a con. MH17 was a con.
The only bad side effect I can see is that by now, by the same measure. Moon landing was a con. I’d never say that 20 years ago.
I’ve just had to look up Salandria. I thought he might be an obscure Greek philosopher I’d never heard of,—- but a little girl in ‘World of Warcraft?’ That’s all a bit beyond this oldie who still prefers an old book to anything else.
Still, she gives good advice about avoiding getting bogged down in the minutiae, so— Hail Salandria!
Any more nuggets of wisdom from her will be welcome, anodinius.
W.r.t. Vot Tak’s comment about Netflix, above, this is from 2013 but still worth a read:
John Pilger: The new propaganda is ‘liberal’
The UK Russian embassy is not mincing words these days:
“As stated repeatedly, Russia does not accept the concept of a “rules-based international system”. The international order is based on international law, i.e. legally binding norms that have been agreed on and accepted by all states. By substituting “international law” with obscure “rules”, the UK and other Western countries aim to shed the responsibility for their unlawful behaviour, while assuming the right to randomly blame other countries of breaking “rules” to which they had never signed up.”
“Now to the facts. Mr Hunt blames Russia for the “annexation on 10,000 square miles of Ukrainian territory with the use of force”. If the Foreign Secretary means Crimea, one has to remember that it came under the sovereignty of Russia without a single shot fired, in accordance with the nearly unanimous will of the Crimean people.”

U.S. Senate’s First Bill, in the Midst of the Shutdown, Is a Bipartisan Defense of the Israeli Government From Boycotts
https://theintercept.com/2019/01/05/u-s-senates-first-bill-in-midst-of-shutdown-is-a-bipartisan-defense-of-the-israeli-government-from-boycotts/
“But in the 2019 GOP-controlled Senate, the first bill to be considered — S.1 — is not designed to protect American workers, bolster U.S. companies, or address the various debates over border security and immigration. It’s not a bill to open the government. Instead, according to multiple sources involved in the legislative process, S.1 will be a compendium containing a handful of foreign policy-related measures, the main one of which is a provision — with Florida’s GOP Sen. Marco Rubio as a lead sponsor — to defend the Israeli government. The bill is a top legislative priority for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
In the previous Congress, that measure was known as S.170, and it gives state and local governments explicit legal authority to boycott any U.S. companies which themselves are participating in a boycott against Israel. As The Intercept reported last month, 26 states now have enacted some version of a law to punish or otherwise sanction entities that participate in or support the boycott of Israel, while similar laws are pending in at least 13 additional states. Rubio’s bill is designed to strengthen the legal basis to defend those Israel-protecting laws from constitutional challenge.
Punishment aimed at companies that choose to boycott Israel can also sweep up individual American citizens in its punitive net because individual contractors often work for state or local governments under the auspices of a sole proprietorship or some other business entity. That was the case with Texas elementary school speech pathologist Bahia Amawi, who lost her job working with autistic and speech-impaired children in Austin because she refused to promise not to boycott goods produced in Israel and/or illegal Israeli settlements.
Thus far, the two federal courts that have ruled on such bills have declared them to be unconstitutional violations of the First Amendment speech rights of American citizens.”
As haley prioritized israeli interests at the UN, the u.s. senate does the same in congress.
US peace deal to include $250bn compensation by Arab states to Jews
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20190107-us-peace-deal-to-include-250bn-compensation-by-arab-states-to-jews/
“The prospective American peace deal, dubbed as the “deal of the century”, is to include that $250 billion be paid by Arab states in compensation for Jewish property left behind after the creation of Israel, Al-Wattan Voice said yesterday.
Reporting Israeli media, the news site said that the occupation government had valued Jewish property in the Arab states of Libya and Tunis to be worth $50 billion, while Jewish property in the entire region to be $250 billion.
According to Al-Wattan Voice, talling the cost of losses began one and half a years ago secretly in Morocco, Iraq, Syria and Yemen, in addition to Iran.”

When time is short there’s usually something good at LPAC. And I’ve got a long and deep one for ioan and The Artists Among Us………..Позже from there…….but right now this is for those who hate the Tweeter In Chief:
“President Donald Trump continues to shock the various spokesmen for the Empire — the proponents of the “geopolitical rules of the game” which have served the British Empire on both sides of the Atlantic, and worldwide, for centuries. Such geopolitics dictates a foreign policy which is zero-sum, dog-eat-dog, divide-and-conquer. It fosters personalities which mirror that bestial view of mankind, an existentialist psychology of one-against-all.”
They are certainly against him and will have absolutely NONE of this spirit, I am pretty sure:
“Look at the establishment response to Trump’s announcement to pull out of Syria. “He is turning Syria over to the tyrants in Russia and Iran,” the headlines scream. But Trump told the press on Sunday: “Iran hates ISIS more than we do, if that’s possible. Russia hates ISIS more than we do. Turkey hates ISIS, maybe not as much as we do. But these are countries that hate ISIS. And they can do a little of the fighting in their neighborhood also, because we’re fighting them in their neighborhood.”
To geopoliticians, cooperating with Russia and Iran to address a real threat to the human race is treason against the Empire.”

Cuba: Trump Turns the Vise. Social Inequality and Cuba’s Dual Currency System. The Creation of a Well-Off Middle Class
https://www.globalresearch.ca/cuba-trump-turns-the-vise-social-inequality-and-cubas-dual-currency-system-the-creation-of-a-well-off-middle-class/5664927
“In recent years President Obama attempted to normalise relations between Cuba and the United States (known as the Cuban Thaw) by reducing U.S. travel and remittances restrictions and reopening the U.S. embassy in Havana and the Cuban embassy in Washington. Obama even became the first U.S. President to visit Cuba since 1928.
However, since the election of Donald Trump many of these gains have been reversed.
In November 2018 the US government reversed the positive changes brought in by Obama. The Trump government will disallow most individual visits and (as before Obama’s changes) Americans will have to travel in groups licensed for specific purposes. Most importantly Americans will be barred from staying in state-owned hotels, and frequenting state-owned restaurants and stores. The plan seems to be to starve the government of revenue while at the same time encouraging the growth of the private sector e.g. private accommodation and restaurants.
“The Trump administration is adding new names to a list of Cuban tourist attractions that Americans are barred from visiting. The 26 names range from the new five-star Iberostar Grand Packard and Paseo del Prado hotels in Old Havana to modest shopping centers in beachside resorts far from the capital. All are barred because they are owned by Cuba’s military business conglomerate, GAESA.”
While trump ran on an election platform advocating a scaling back of american aggression overseas, he has in fact expanded the scale of this israeloamerican aggression beyond that of the previous obama regime.

Brits Find It’s Not So Easy To Contain Human Creativity is the Jan 9 Lead Headline
There are two outstanding strategic developments over the past week which bear emphasizing, Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche remarked today. The first is the epochal achievement of China’s Chang’e-4 lunar mission, which is already producing a “Sputnik”-like effect internationally—ranging from enthusiastic congratulations and calls for ongoing cooperation from Africa, Ibero-America, Asia, and parts of the scientific community in the West; to teeth-gnashing frustration from the likes of Germany’s mass tabloid Bild Zeitung, which is horrified that China has leapt ahead of the West in this fashion.
What Chang’e-4 shows to anyone who cares to open his eyes, Zepp-LaRouche stated, is that China is on the right path of science-based physical economic development, including the Belt and Road Initiative; and that the West is idiotically wrong, and must come to its senses—a task which will be at the center of the upcoming Schiller Institute conference.
The second major development was the outright cancellation of NASA’s invitation to Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin, who had been scheduled to come to the U.S. to address NASA leaders and hold meetings with his counterparts. This action, taken at the instigation of Democratic Senators and others, is utterly insane, Zepp-LaRouche said: The U.S. cannot even get to the International Space Station without Russian rockets! We are sawing off the branch of the tree that we are sitting on. Moreover, if we are to forge a global alliance for development led by the Four Powers specified by Lyndon LaRouche—the U.S., Russia, China and India— the cancellation of the Rogozin visit was the worst thing you could possibly do.
These two developments reflect processes underway which have opposite directionalities; as such they epitomize the task immediately facing the planet today.
They occur in the context of mass strike ferment that is sweeping the planet, albeit unevenly, a ferment which is stubbornly eluding British control. Its expressions include:
The Chang’e-4 mission: The British are finding out, to their dismay, that when human creativity per se captures people’s imagination, it is contagious.
The Brexit process: As the United Kingdom careens towards a March 29 “hard-Brexit” break with the EU, major capital flight from the City of London has already begun, amounting to more than 10% of the total assets of the British banking sector, according to some accounts—not to mention the far more significant derivatives speculative bubble that is run by London.
The Trump Presidency in the United States: Trump continues to stand up to the noisy attempts to stop his stated policy of ending the “endless wars” everywhere. This is not only Syria that is at stake, nor even the whole of Southwest Asia; it is the entirety of the “special relationship” with the British, and their geopolitical and economic madness.
The Yellow Vest protests: As LaRouche ally and former French presidential candidate Jacques Cheminade has stressed, what is occurring is mass strike ferment that is happening in France, but it is not of France—it is part of the same global process of rejection of the failed institutions seen elsewhere.
The López Obrador Presidency in Mexico: AMLO is steadily returning Mexico to its historic, nationalist policies of economic growth, a strong Presidency, and respect for national sovereignty and non-intervention in the internal affairs of other nations. London thought they had killed off that Mexico—but they were wrong.
Just as the British are finding, more generally, that it is not so easy to contain and kill off human creativity, once it is abroad in the land.
