“Right Sector” proposed Lukashenko to sever relations with the Russian Federation
January 19, 2019
The Ukrainian terrorist organization Right Sector, banned in the Russian Federation, proposed the head
of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, to provide military assistance in the fight against Russia if he decides
to break withher relationship and also “fight back”.
There is information according to which the militants of the Ukrainian terrorist organization Right Sector, banned in the Russian Federation, have set the choice of Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko. We
are talking about the possibility of losing statehood or rebuffing Moscow by terminating the union treaty.
So, if Minsk makes a choice in favor of the second option, the radicals will provide the country with military support and help in lobbying its interests in the international arena. According to the nationalists of Ukraine, today the Belarusian authorities have a question regarding the loss of statehood and the strengthening of
the “neo-Soviet horde.”

In my opinion Alexander Lukashenko is not a reliable person
Coincidence? – Chief Nurse Of British Army Was First Person To Arrive At Novichoked Skripal Scene
Today an intriguing new detail of the case came to light. Spire FM, a local radio station in Salisbury, reports of a young woman, Abigail McCourt, who was given a ‘Lifesaver Award’ for her involvement in the Skripal case:
The 16 year old, from Larkhill, was the first to spot two people collapsed on a bench in the Maltings on March 4th and didn’t hesitate to help. Abigail quickly alerted her mum, a qualified nurse, who was nearby and together they gave first aid to the victims until paramedics arrived.
It soon became clear this was no ordinary medical incident, but the poisoning of a former Russian spy Sergei Skripal, and his daughter Yulia, with Novichok.
…
Immediately following the incident and with the world’s media focused on Salisbury, the pair didn’t want any want press attention and kept their involvement quiet.
But Abby’s mum now feels the time is right for her daughter to be recognised for the “incredible” way she dealt with the scenario. Alison nominated her for the Lifesaver Award at Spire FM’s Local Hero Awards, and the judges were unanimous in their decision that Abigail was a very worthy winner.
Earlier reports mentioned that a ‘military nurse’ had attended to the Skripals. Following the above report Elena Evdokimova checked the name of the young women’s mothers and found a curiosity:
Elena Evdokimova @elenaevdokimov7 – 10:50 utc – 19 Jan 2019
We were right, it was Alison McCourt who was that”unknown military nurse” who, absolutely randomly, happened to be near the bench where #Skripals collapsed . Spire FM alleges that it was her daughter Abigail alerted her, but no one mentioned her before …
Here is the thing. Alison McCourt is not just one random ‘military nurse’. She is the Chief Nursing Officer for the British Army in the rank of Colonel:
Colonel McCourt was appointed Chief Nursing Officer on February 1 2018, just one month before the Skripal incident happened. Colonel McCourt lives in Larkhill, a garrison town some 11 miles from Salisbury. She is known to visit elsewhere.

song for ioan
on the journey going home
a wide window with trees
sun, sky scrapers airy light
raced by and the conductor
handing out the free tickets.
there were streets and bridges
words like flocks of birds flew
when someone raised a baton
winged flight of word mazurka
conductor of mountain ranges
rhythmic beat of the bus
from thundering of wheels
the sudden bright clash
brass on brass of cymbals
releasing millions of stars
climbing the narrow pass
far below in the valley
a glittering silver river
winds a vanishing path
high in the endless sky
an eagle folds its wings
a child catches sight
holding it wonderingly
wide and surprised eyes
at times plummeting fall,
still and silent as the night.
it was all free falling
and swirling of words
rain on glass in rivulets
my eyes in their stream
of a language of dream
a word mazurka finishes
lullabies of all the ages
rocking the child to sleep
the journey now is ended
on the free window seat
a carefully placed baton
Ras
Precious!
I am inspired to complete my Art Gift to Ioan before the month is out.
Alas, it cannot be in poetic form……that requires more repose….and contemplation and reflection…and skill than I am afforded …under the dreary paternal pressures of Provisional Provider…..for these people in my house.
But in some prose and links, I’ll try to pull it off…In Time…with inspiration by Ras…..and Rembrandt!
A song for me
My eyes have caught
Thanks for thee
My fellow Ras !
Oh ! If I could,
I’d sing for you
With strings on wood
The melody of Truth !
Accompanied by cymbals,
By eagle in the sky,
Which ghosts on mountain calls,
And never say goodbye
But I can’t sing,
My voice is blur
I have no strings
I’ll need some cure.
Waiter ! please give me something to cure my voice…from that bottle as yesterday…and for Raskolnikov, I think the same…somehow it fits with his name !
– So, two Vodkas, right ?
– Three ! with Bro 93 just joining in…to keep the rhyme !
Actually, since I am quite well versed in Polish history and what-have-you. Let me explain to you. Mazurka is an idiotic anglo-verb created by whomever. Poles have a region in Northern part of Poland which is called Mazury. People of that region have a dance which was called Mazurek.
Happy to oblige. Sorry my friend.
Here is the dance Mazurka : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6wmrQ_YWvM
That was lovely, really enjoyable to watch. thanks.
Yes ! Joyous, light hearted in the face of tragedy, that was my point ! “…Polish folk dance in triple meter, usually at a lively tempo, and with “strong accents unsystematically placed on the second or third beat”. (Wikipedia)
Here’s another one, Soviet-Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian, ://youtu.be/HM6DBhwJYvQ Followed by Dmitri Shostakovich – Waltz No. 2
In the good ole days of Papa Stalin, before some crime or other – death at any cost – Jews who were sentenced, whether Polish or not I don’t know, were once forced to dance a traditional folk dance before being shot. Shostakovitch wrote an amazing piece of music for this, very fiery, rhythmic and powerful.
back to the situation of 1983, (with another Clown)
Except that this time things have changed, Putin is not Andropov…

Excerpt> Avec la sortie unilatérale des États-Unis du traité INF, le président Donald Trump revient à la situation de 1983. À la différence que la Russie dispose désormais de missiles hypersoniques manœuvrables, dont les États-Unis ne pourront calculer la trajectoire, et qu’ils ne pourront donc intercepter. Et Vladimir Poutine n’est pas Youri Andropov.

And the second portion of T Meyssan’s interview Conspiracy and Analysis >
La presse refuse les travaux sur l’Histoire qu’elle a couverte
https://www.voltairenet.org/article204762.html
…book on the 2006 Israeli-Lebanese war, L’Effroyable Imposture 2 . First of all, because you are developing a point sketched in the first book, the fascinating and little known subject of the theopolitics, namely the role and importance of religion (in this case evangelist) in politics. from the USA to the Middle East.
(this is very good!)> We measure the panic of our leaders with this survey of the Jean-Jaurès Foundation according to which more than one French in 20 believes that the Earth is flat. I have never met anyone who makes such comments, it’s just an imaginary poll to convince us that we are fools.
We already had official truths sanctioned by the courts. We must reread Casamayor, who was a magistrate at the Nuremberg trial and who, as a jurist, sharply criticized this tribunal of the victorious powers. The Nuremberg Final Act, to which the Gayssot Act refers, includes some strange passages that the victors wanted to include, although they were not discussed during the proceedings. The role of Justice is to fairly try defendants, not to condemn defeated policies.
The problem does not lie in a particular text, but in our inability to accept contradictions.
Like I said, I’m not believing anything 4.35 am Pacific time, January 20, 2019.
But what I am knowing is the following:
1. Some of you will absolutely hate virtually the entirety of the meme-ful video linked in my last enumerated point. (#3) of this comment.
2. Many of you will refuse to pick sides and be unable to decide which side you most despise.
3. At the 9 minute mark this meme-ful video https://youtu.be/at5Mje3IluA?t=538
is quite funny. Pause it there and enjoy a good hearty laugh…….before resuming your fuming.
Funny thing is, the producer of the marvelous string of memes…….will soon join you!
In an absolute emotional meltdown unshared by the cool and composed Black Conservative Patriot.
I don’t know about The Plan (the specifics are not yet revealed…..and I always read the fine print…..lol) or Q with anything like 100% certainty…..but I DO know that the following is a 3 word Truthful Statement:
“Emotions cloud judgment.
Q”.
You see it all over. Including here, every day….most of the day. But if PCR is getting better at mastering his emotions….so can we.
Nice tune, What is RIF?
Yes, nice tune. I started it playing and did not realize there was a whole lot of stuff written on top of the tune.
“Emotions cloud judgment” ????
“Let him who is without sin, cast the first stone.” (Bible)
“Judgment free of emotion is free of humanity.” (amarynth but somebody may have said that before)
“Emotions inform Judgment” (actually many papers written about that
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2483304/
Those who have no emotion are usually called psychopaths. “For example, psychopaths tend to be quite incapable of guilt, remorse, empathy, and deep attachment (bonding) to others.”
https://neuroinstincts.com/do-psychopaths-have-emotions/
So Bro, my Bro! I disagree somewhat violently (grins). The difference is that emotionless judgment should stand on a rule of law, or on a pre-determined system of justice. 3 Strikes and you are out or such stuff. But I’ve seen it work so well. This is a big issue for us as a species. No justice, no peace?
Christian Traders versus Satanic Traitors?
We are emotional beings. There is no getting away from that fact, without becoming a soul-less psychopath cannibalistic devourer of humanity.
However, traders must master their emotions or they will get slaughtered by “the market”. Basic fact!
So, Kenneth Storey’s somewhat more subdued religious outlook does not alarm me as….so far…. I don’t see it flaunted so egoistically, opportunistically and irrationally, insanely….. as is 100% the case with the Zio-Fundie “Religious” Crazies.
AND, while I would not (yet) stake my life on the premises Storey outlines in this lecture of this past week, for the time being, until proven incorrect, there are PLENTY of BIG strategically BOLD conclusions presented here, which merit careful consideration and follow-up, IMHO, before being hastily discarded on the basis of prior ……. or present dug-in, stubbornly rigid emotional prejudice:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke2mY7V1mUA
THE TRUMP/Q PLAN FOR THE D33P STAT3
Now, see if you can hang in there, because this is not a dull or stupidly emotional religious lecture ….nor a dry and boring investment briefing….by any means:
At the 90 second mark…..23 Generals and Admirals who “drafted” Trump:
https://youtu.be/ke2mY7V1mUA?t=84
“Then what we have are….Other Nations (My Aside: including Russia, China, IRAN….and North Korea, guys…..) at the 4 minute 55 sec mark… https://youtu.be/ke2mY7V1mUA?t=280
….in The New Alliance…..
And at the 9 minute Mark……ENDING THE FED…..along with taking down Rothschild Central Banks in coordinated fashion…..world wide: https://youtu.be/ke2mY7V1mUA?t=554
And introducing the QFS……Quantum Financial System.
“Where don’t the Rothschilds have control? They don’t have control in Iran. They don’t have control in North Korea. They don’t have control in China….. and they don’t have control in Russia now.
@ 14 min 45 sec “The Stock Market will have to crash for it to go into effect.” : https://youtu.be/ke2mY7V1mUA?t=868 This is By Design.
Now the Christian Traders in this little group examine the implications for their trading, starting with examining the FAZ an ETF (Exchange Traded Fund): https://youtu.be/ke2mY7V1mUA?t=1083
“if the banks get in trouble again FAZ will EXPLODE!”
“The cutting the strings of the central banks doesn’t just involve America, it involves cutting their strings EVERYWHERE—-as this is the only way it can be done.”
Now come The Yellow Vests: https://youtu.be/ke2mY7V1mUA?t=1258
“They mobilized 86,000 police to come out against the people that are rioting against this system, against Macron, the Rothschild banker that had an affair with his teacher at 15 years of age and then married her when he turned 18. It’s just amazing. What we are looking at is a chance to make a real difference, by taking down the Rothschild Banking Empire worldwide.”
Not the usual day to day motivation of an “Investment Club” LOL.
One of the Unusual Effects of the Global Mass-Strike????
Bro, I’m just feisty enough today to say stuff.
Check at about 5.30 / 5.31 …
Oh boy, what do we see? All the other nations (in this terminology) revolving around Trump and Q. All of them! Every single nation! Jumpin’ Jimminy Cricket – all of them. Take note folks … wherever you are from, your country revolves around Trump and Q and they are coming to help you out.
I’ve said for some time that a loose theory rattling around in my head is that on some level (and this is not meant critically, simply a loose theory), tell me that Trump wants to be King of the World in some way or another.
Now that I’ve seen this, I am even more aghast and repelled if this is what is being circulated in these circles. A New Alliance eh? A single polar world revolving around Trump and Q. (The New New World Order where all other nations are contained in a little circle).
I’ll say it straight. This is a dangerous delusion and we probably have to start talking about That Shining City on the Hill and the Indispensable Nation and Exceptionalism and other such terminology.
Thanks for the comment, Amarynth, on bro’s video!
I gotta go with you on this one-i watched a couple of minutes on storey’s vid and was quite amazed at the number of errors at the outset-then i went into the comments, quite revealing, about these errors and other stringent skepticism:
e.g. Mike Rogers, not mike flynn, was in charge of nsa and indeed to my mind is a hero-whatever about trump, rogers flew up to trump tower and warned trump that a coup was in progress in 2016-obama, brennen, clapper, et al tried to fire rogers. flynn was in charge of dia until he was fired by obama/jarrett/rice/rhodes for oposing the obama organization/support of terrorists in syria.
e.g. Marines are part of dept of navy, not pres personal mil force;
e.g. generals/admirals responsible for installing trump-this is the same gavno that corsi is peddling;
e.g. Q has indeed captivated thousands of people, many anon’s have lost their families, jobs, finances, obsessing and “digging” 24/7 for the “plan.” e.g. trust sessions, trust gowdy, trust mueller, etc.
It is a delusion for a population that has had the boot of zionist control and the deep state on its throat for decades and decades-thus, a population hungry for hope, any hope, to rid itself of this evil, this tyrannical control by israel, aipac, the war mongering think tanks, the cia’s, the mi6’s, Along comes Q and off we go.
I certainly did not intend to start my day with an examination of Q and storey vid but there it is;
your comment will necessarily carry thru for me because I am off the air on this Q issue from hereonin:
bold text ’ll say it straight. This is a dangerous delusion and we probably have to start talking about That Shining City on the Hill and the Indispensable Nation and Exceptionalism and other such terminology.
Of course there is error in every movement …indeed in almost every conversation between two or more human beings,Taras…but ….So What??
Most of the Q movement wants Corsi OUT. AJ Out, etc. Because they are dedicated to their cottage industry media schtics, primarily,,,,, Didn’t you notice, the prevailing attitude towards those 2??
What is the most common root of error?
1 Ego
2 Emotion
And what does emotion do?.
It oversimplifies immensely rich (in the sense of densely complicated) situations. Big Mistake. Made almost constantly by almost everyone.
Oh, and by the way, Agreement is NOT Reality. Scientologists whipping out their dictionaries to get consensus on word definitions-based brainwashing……are full of shit.
At least some disagreement is immensely healthy!
OK, bro-I agree that disagreement (and skepticism) is absolutely healthy, it is required!
Prob better to just leave it there!
Best to you.
Correlation is not causation, but it’s the way to bet.
see Unz http://www.unz.com/jthompson/correlation-is-not-causation-but-its-the-way-to-bet/
The Imperium is expert at using emotion to control the plebs…at creating “errors”…diversions, distractions, deceptions, all wrapped up by expert magicians as Hollywood has invented.
How many divisions has Q?
Dangerous???
Wouldn’t it be okay with you if it were dangerous against Clinton, Clapper, Brennan, ALL Rothschild Central Banks, Your Satanic Monarchy and a bit more besides???
It might just be……………. if you hang in there a little longer, skeptically……keeping your Multi-Polar Powder Dry…and sentries on duty 24/7…..but with just a wee, wee bit more of a killer instinct against those satanic globalists…instead of emoting so freely….against the Orange Wrecking Ball…..and your fears that he will declare himself King of The World …and the Moronic Deplorables Will ALL Cheer Like Mindless Idiots!
Yes, that’s so terribly likely (not) that unless he is constantly held down by the MSM and Deep State,,,,and basically dodging around and constantly flip-flopping in “deception is necessary to survive another month” mode….until Term 1 is over……I can barely sleep at night! (sarc)
Geeez!
Term 1 is half over already. Relax! lol.
And I don’t seriously think the world monetary disorder will hold 2 more years.
Don’t you understand that the Deplorables are in bad shape, beaten down, and there are efforts to remoralize them that take a little more than calling them names and gving aid and comfort to the OTHER part of the USA……that are still very, very much OK with Obama and Hillary and every outright Russophic Idiot in the Land??
Should the recruiters of the Donald have some notable success in rolling up those Black Hats…..it is a plain fact:
Every nation on earth will stand a better chance of survival ….including in the Plan B Option of coming out on the “winning” end of a shooting war many here would love to see Pindoland punished by.
Even though many of them live here and would surely fry. LOL.
Very, very little to lose by letting the Wrecking Ball complete the demolition of some rotten structures in this country, IMHO.
But NO!!!
People are addicted to the binary idea of conflict…………the # 1 axiom of the Oligarchy. People with that axiom stuck in their crania will continue to be manipulable by beings that have no emotion….but are absolute experts at manipulating the emotions so prevalent all over today’s worldwide political landscape.
How about seeing if ANY of the outlined supposed “plan” (for the demise of the FED and a new gold-back world monetary system….I don’t think that’s for a decade from now….) has any substance to it, before rejecting ALL such possibilities of cooperation from the outset. from the US side..EVER….exactly what the social engineering experts of the Tavistock Institute ….<he City of London and The Vatican…...are counting on you to do????…with a very high degree of justified confidence, mind you.
It has worked like a charm for centuries, yet somehow its victims just can’t get enough of it……or imagine any other thing..
Sad!
Emotions cloud judgment.
I’m calculating risk and reward, not emoting. Besides, Putin and Xi are doing the same and no doubt are in a position to calculate 1000 times more accurately and reliably than any of us here.
AND if we are principally emoting and expressing our pet peeves, hairstyle preferences and dislikes and see no benefit to some serious intermal US demolition and rebuilding……I don’t think we are helping them or ANYONE much with fears of Trump. I figure they can handle those fears fine and our job is to accelerate the demolition of what’s ANTI Trump…and Pro-New World Order……..not help it.
Your job might be demolition of everything anti-Trump, Bro, but my job is to ignore the loose cannon as I am sick to the back teeth of hearing about him and his ludicrous self-promotion and rule by inflammatory twits. That goes for Q and all the hangers on and bandwagon followers in the scam too.
There are other things in life than falling for every rigged game and con on offer— not too much, granted, but real life is out there, just like it always was.
I have to scratch Bro’s back again, not because he is an old good fellow here, not because he is a friend of mine but simply because he is right : we are loaded with Huge Emotions !! and when I say We, I understand also myself. To declare himself King of the World (trump) it is a bit too far indeed, like the Bridge of Arnhem for Monty. I don’t think that Trump last totally his mind (after all, I wouldn’t be surprised if at at certain stage, some of his opponents will vehemently ask for a medical-psychological examination on that basis), but for whatever reason, unknown by us, he is still at helm. That means, there is an uncertainty already working under the surface. What we can see is the tip of the iceberg. Something is going on behind the clouds of Twittering and grand slogans on CNN and other outlets. The big Theater is open, the stage is confuse, what will be the final act ? If something is coordinated, that is the play with time and camouflage. No surprise here, the US is not a small actor, any final act – if negative or positive – will affect the whole world. They learned the lesson from the fall of Soviet Union and don’t want to be caught with pants down – neither of the warring sides. The hardest thing for them, is to avoid a big mistake. Well, that’s my view and I am passionate, with mixed tendencies to jump to the extremes.
Except that he isn’t right, ioan, about the fundamental problem so the prescriptions for remedy are skewed.
The fundamental error isn’t ego or emotion, that’s just the fashionable scapegoat in the circles he frequents. The fundamental problem is an inability to see what it is front of one’s nose and then to do some logical thinking on it to arrive at one’s own conclusions.
Nobody needs a classical education to do this but a good grounding in common sense helps, as well as a healthy irreverence for authority figures prattling self-serving nonsense. None of these things can be taught but they can be learnt if the person is curious and desires to learn.
Wilful ignorance isn’t the greatest survival strategy but some of the smartest people I’ve ever met have little formal education but a great understanding of people and the world around them.
Knowledge and understanding are not at all the same thing.
The ego and emotions are fundamental error for many people, felt it many times on my skin as in the past so in the present, but that’s a small problem in fact. The bigger problem comes when a politician is led by his ego and emotion, it may have profound repercussions. The irony is, that Trump is also led many times by his ego and emotions too, enough to compare his behavior with Putin’s. This is what Bro is forgetting to tell.
As the standoff will aggravate, as the economic and political situation will get closer to a big crisis, the tendency for emotional behavior will increase, not just on behalf of the populace but primordially on the politicians, they will be more and more agitated, with growing outbursts of emotions in all directions – left and right. Look at your near, the Brexixt, isn’t that another example of how the egos and emotions are coming on surface ? Fear is one of the greatest emotions and politicians are no exception, they are also humans, even if some of them may think otherwise. Very few leaders can deal with their emotions, don’t forget, everything has limits. Not to be emotional is close to death, life itself is full of emotions, they are higher or lower in intensity, depending on circumstances. One has to learn how to deal with emotions and ego in certain circumstances, this is valuable for usual persons, even more for politicians or leaders.
Emotion and ego are similar in that neither can ever be annihilated, just curbed, managed, channelled to best use.
Again, examining the ego and displayed emotions of others makes it easier to see, like an outsider sometimes having a keener perspective than an insider. But the only ego and emotion that anyone has any hope of gaining some control over is their own. Successfully managing one’s own means that concerning oneself with the emotions and ego of others is superfluous as the locus of control is then in our own hands, no matter what others might threaten, do, think or say.
I am, of course, omitting the role of professional manipulators of your ego and emotions here (for purposes of clarity) as they are always active, advertising, intimidating, charming, instilling fear and apprehension and it is vital to be able to distinguish between what is my own genuine feeling at any one time and what is being sold to me as the latest ‘must have’ accessory, “because everyone else is doing it”
What I am saying is that anyone with a modicum of self-awareness already does not need to worry about converting others. Smart people know that the best teacher is a good example and sane students know a good
thing for themselves when they see it.
This “because everyone else is doing it” never ever hits my mind, I always hated to do what “everybody else” is doing, when not constrained by circumstances which were obvious : school, military or, in the socialist times, mass demonstrations under order given by the communist party on May day and Liberation day (august 23). These “occasions” you could not skip so easy at that time. Good lessons learned way back then, including how to read between the lines and not to swallow any information at first glance.
Its actually a very powerful drive in humans, to go along with the crowd, to not stand out by being different, something that defines us as ‘social creatures’. ‘Different’ is a very awkward and uncomfortable place to find oneself. There is a common phrase in English: ‘tall poppy syndrome’ which warns that those who stand out from the crowd get cut down very quickly. I’m not suggesting its a good or bad thing, just how it commonly is for most people, unless they are aware and decide for themselves otherwise.
You could turn it around, ill-informed judgement clouds emotions.
There is exactly as much evidence for the “New Alliance” between Q, Trump, and the “white hats”, as there is for Russia novichoking the Skripals, i.e., none.
Meanwhile, there are very real psyops going on all over the internet, involving real “secret teams”, who use troll armies, bots, and AI — the latter of which I’m barely up to snuff on, but in the years since the Integrity Initiative/Institute for Statecraft has been operating, surely there can be discerned method to their madness, including methods revealed blatantly in their own documents.
They are all over NATO, ME, UK, US, 5 Eyes in different “clusters” with missions that change with the latest hashtags. They are private/public, corporate/government; intel/corporate — they hide behind gov, com, and mil, whichever suits them at the time. In one example, the IfS stuff has most of the Russia Russia Russia campaign laid out years in advance (2015). You can trace a line: HMG –> British Intel –> IfS –> BBC Media Action —> BBC.
They did this and there it is in black and white. How many other ops are going on this very minute while guys lecture on Youtube?
All of this is real as consensus reality can be. The “Q community” is perhaps less interested in the II/IfS stuff because deciphering the material isn’t easy, and doesn’t lead to simple conclusions.
AI has apparently grown in leaps and bounds in the social media age. It can parse comments sections, spring troll armies into action, smarm (Freudian slip, I meant “swarm”) YouTube accounts, dox people, release bogus stories, and oh so much more, I’m sure. An AI Panopticon slowly surrounds us. II/IfS docs are tip of the iceberg to how it is being done, now.
Meanwhile, AFAIK Trump is, to quote Auslander, a prisoner in a guilded cage, surrounded by neocons. How he is supposed to turn the tables with the help of his secret patriots is beyond me; I hope you are correct, but for over a year now I’ve been convinced the Q followers are barking up the wrong tree.
It was very funny when Trump denied Pelosi her travel plane. Antics like that and real power are two different enchiladas, it seems to me.
“You could turn it around, ill-informed judgement clouds emotions.”
What leads to an ill informed judgement, is first colored by prejudice, emotional apathy or obstinacy, a too rapid response, willful ignorance and so forth. To turn it around can only reflect the ill formed judgement back onto this.
However, I still admire the ability to do this and raise a case for doing so !
from a wonderful new series of videos about life in America called Gonzo . “Deplatforming the Menscheviks” with a political economist called Constantin Gurdgiev ( after the half way mark) is especially worth checking out:
https://www.rt.com/shows/gonzo/448693-california-business-impact-ideas/
The Gonzo series is really very good. I’ve just watched the 4th episode and what strikes me, is that the right questions are at last being asked.
https://www.rt.com/shows/gonzo/449258-masculinity-issue-boy-crisis/
In Gonzo #3 Max “let slip” the remark that one goal of the expedition G was to learn whether or not he wanted to (or ought to) stay, or not.
I did something similar with my wife a few years ago.
We decided that the “Country” is not one, but several. And we decided to pick “our country”, and did.
The geopolitical landscape was one factor. It suggested moving. Our age suggested staying. Both factors have continued to increase.
Max is much younger than we are. His expertise is the US, his subject.
I noticed as a participant in YW public space gathering that support of general population is positive but it was only half a dozen of us on this cold, cold day in this Western Canada Town of some 20,000.
As we see us deplorables sinking lower and lower I am saddened by such little devotion to our case to our country.
Yes people beep their horns and give friendly gestures but is that all they can do?!
Each and everyone has a reason to personally make presence but YWs are probably viewed as “not my problem” and believe me, voting won’t fix our problem.
But hey, thanks for your beeps.
Just saying
This is a rather remarkable satirical article which pretty much sums up where we have been over the past 2-3 years.
Indeed, if one were to sit down and try to write a novel similar to these events thus described, I would wager that the would be author would give up in frustration and say it would not be realistic.
(BTW, in my mind, this has nothing to do with trump, his failed/false campaign promises, the incompetence of his admin, but it has all to do with what a large part of the political establishment decided early on that trump would not win, that trump’s admin would fail, that the zionists would prevail towards more war. This political establishment included participation from foreign actors, e.g MI6, Mossad, Israel.
Ironically, in my mind, trump is doing what the zionists demand, albeit more slowly than they would have wished or more grudgingly than they would have wished.)

Report from Looneylandia:
My Christian friend departed home the other day with these words:
“You know there is a war on…
Me: …Oh yes…Saker says its 80% information and…
Her: ” No, it is 100% Spiritual and I pray for you along with others every day.”
So after that I called up my scholarly, rationally minded friend and asked to borrow her books by Kafka ( books line her whole house and very few are fantasy) ..
“Sure enough, she said, and I have Brecht’s books high up in an undusted corner if you require them-don’t know why you are reading all this depressing stuff lately…By the way how is your progress on Gulag?
Me: ” My new goal is to finish it sometime this lifeline. I am stuck on his description of “tukhta” at the sentence where he says, ” For those among our readers who are not bored with this, let’s go into it more deeply.” because rather than being bored by his description of how people were able to devise enough wiggle room in a lethal system to somehow game it enough to stay alive, I feel terror. And so I put it down.
Why? because the same ,yet worse, repressive same mind set running the Russian camps I can see in this country and if it takes power those holding it will leave no wiggle room for survival.
For example, the maneuver used by the imprisoned stalwart communist who happened to be in charge of camp production due to his competence in which he claimed desperately needed extra rations based on a fictitious quantity of trees felled would never, ever fly nowadays. The drones to check him would however.
This is good, on what the rest of the world is getting on with ( their own lives and concerns) while the captive western audience goggles at the theatre of the absurd that our politicos are staging for our edification (and as a bonus bumping up popcorn sales, perhaps) :
‘Response to US global bullying: Iran, India ditch dollar to continue trading oil despite sanctions
Even the effect of US sanctions on ordinary people that the United States consider allies appear to not have been taken into account. Most reports allege that the absence of Iranian oil makes oil market prices shoot through the roof, affecting common Indian residents who had been enjoying cheaper oil prices under the JCPOA. Does the US want the people of India to hate Iran, or to hate the enforcer of these sanctions?’

Here’s a taster of Zizek, on toxic masculinity and political correctness. This is a man who can think coherently, (unlike Jordan Peterson) about fundamental human issues affecting us all and not just play to the gallery. Kundera gets a coincidental mention too:
‘The Czech-born writer Milan Kundera once wrote an entire book about an atmosphere where one joke made in bad taste can ruin your life. It’s no joke now, as denouncing colleagues becomes normal in the US.’
‘What makes this statement really dangerous is the mixture of ideology and ostensibly neutral expertise: a strong ideological gesture of excluding phenomena considered unacceptable is presented as an impartial description of medical facts.’
https://www.rt.com/op-ed/448682-traditional-masculinity-toxic-universe/
one minion, I think Jordan Peterson plays a good part, despite the criticism that we level to him. His audience is perhaps a little different from Žižek’s audience. While for myself I’ve kinda ‘maxed out’ on Peterson, the younger audience that he goes for, is perhaps right for him. If he can straighten out the thinking of a few heads, just perhaps they go on to try and find further ‘enlightenment’ instead of the social circus that is the mood of the day. But I must admit, I’m looking forward to the upcoming debate like I think people look forward to boxing matches (grins).
My problem with Peterson is that he is fine when sticking to his own areas of expertise but he is out of his depth when taking on other professionals in their area of expertise. Selling a book on 10 rules for adolescents is fine, he’s a psychologist and should know that stuff, but he proves himself an ignoramus when mixing that and other things willy-nilly with politics. Context is all. He is aiming at adolescents and young boys, already volatile, confused, looking for direction and drawn, due to inexperience, to extreme ideologies.
All this in the fraught situation already existing in North America, like a pile of kindling just waiting for a match.
As an educator he should restrain himself, not for his own benefit but for the benefit of his very vulnerable audience. He knows this stuff so he is not being ignorant, he is a psychologist after all, but not a very good one as his eye is on the main chance for himself, not on the followers he is confusing so effectively.
Its a Peterson cult in the making and cults only ever benefit the sociopathic leader, never the fleeced followers who are just patsies in the leader’s dreams of domination.
The stranger came up to their table then, and played for them, and no man or woman there ever had heard music that was sweeter.
When he had finished, Caswallon drew a deep breath. “Man, you are the king of harpers!”
The stranger said, “Some men are kings of one thing, Lord, some of another.”
Caswallon’s face changed; for a breath’s space his eyes grew hard. Then he took the fine gold chain from about his own neck and threw it to the harper. The bard had to stoop to pick it up, and Pryderi, without knowing how he knew it, suddenly understood that this was what the High King had wanted – to make that straight back stoop and pick up his gift from the dust, to show all men what kind of kingship mattered, how little an artist’s gifts and skills counted beside place and power.
But why? Pryderi thought, his mouth stiff with distaste. Why should he care?
But the stranger straightened, his brow unruffled, even a faint amusement in his eyes. He walked toward Caswallon, chain in hand.
“Such a gift is too great a treasure, Lord King, for a poor wandering man of the roads. Never could I close my eyes without fear that in my sleep some other man would cut my throat to get it. And some night some man would.” He held out the chain to Caswallon.
The King said, ” Your wanderings are over.” He paused, and that pause seemed, strangely, to darken the morning sun. Then he added, his voice silken soft, “You shall stay with me always, and play that sweet music of yours for me every night.”
“Lord, I could not hope to please so great a King for long. Some days my music is sweet, others it is sour.”
“It is not every man that is afforded the place of bard to the High King. Suppose I do not let you go, fool? Caswallon’s voice was low, but his eyes burned like hot coals.
The stranger said easily, “You will do according to your kind of kingcraft, Lord, as I will do according to mine. Would you like me to do tricks for you? I am a cunning man, as well as a musician.”

Has Putin phoned Netyanhu…emergency session UNSC …etc .? Not yet…if….
Vengeance is best when served “cold” is the dictum. But the idea behind this is two-fold. The goal is not fighting, but essentially rhetorical > design to entice opponent, to persuade opponent, to change policy. BDS expresses this, so does RT itself. But violence is also sometimes necessary. In that eventuality the indirect method works best…bribery, blackmail, sabotage, arson, and of course “IEDs” and rockets too. The plebes may not see what happens to be a quid pro quo, but youbetcha that the bosses see it. And they’re in constant danger. One does hope that they like it.
Like what?
Like waiting for the Syrian shoe to drop… tick tick tick….
as to UNSC and telephones…the silence says that talking is suspended and diplomacy will continue without speech. In the example, VVP’s silence speaks very loudly…
The US almost always accuse other countries of some bad behaviour that the US has actually done in the past or is busy perpetrating right now.
Its a kind of guilt projection.
Take the example of the case below. The US is busy accusing China of every malfeasance possible, with no proof whatsoever, while forgetting that the US has actually been caught doing even worse that what it is accusing China of.
“Spy Trains? US Senators Demand Washington Metro Refuse Deal With Chinese Company”
https://sputniknews.com/business/201901211071660762-washington-subway-chinese-contract-letter/
Aside from the fact that the US has itself been caught engaging in this kind of state sponsored spying vis-vis a commercial deal involving China, the US has no evidence that Chinese companies will do any such thing.
Who here remember what happened in the early 2000s when then Chinese president Jiang Zemin ordered a boeing plane from the US to serve as his official plane?
The plane was delivered to China completely riddled with spy gadgets.
They were found even in the Jiang’s toilet.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1382116/China-finds-spy-bugs-in-Jiangs-Boeing-jet.html
https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2002/01/19/china-finds-bugs-on-jet-equipped-in-us/65089140-2afe-42e0-a377-ec8d4e5034ef/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.5a9523bc8d06
So, the next time you hear the US politicians accuse other countries of this or that kind of bad behaviour, you can be darn sure that Uncle Sam is the one perpertrating those misdeeds.
Its just that, because the US does these things, it feels that other countries must also be doing them.
Guilt projection.
When Barrack Obama was president, he came under sustained pressure from the discredited MSM to get tough with China over its alleged aggressive coporate hacking/spying.
When the Chinese president Xi Jinping was enroute for the a scheduled meeting wirh the US president, Obama indicated to the press that he would indeed raise the subject of Chinese hacking and demand that it be addressed – but then news broke about the massive global spying that the US was actually engaged in. It was revealed that US intelligence (NSA) was tapping the phone of several world leaders including Angela Merkel of Germany.
Needless to say, the whole thing about ‘confronting’ China about its alleged coporate spying/hacking was soon forgotten, because the revelation exposed the US for the consumate hypocrite that it is.
What the US accuses other countries of doing, without presenting any evidence, is what it is actual doing.
The cases are endless, but that should suffice for now.

IOC knew Russian athletes were clean, but concealed evidence of their innocence – lawyer
https://www.rt.com/sport/449293-russia-doping-innocent-ioc/
“German legal firm Wieschemann Lawyers said in a statement on Saturday that “there is no factual evidence for the allegations made by Dr. Rodchenkov regarding the events in Sochi.” It also insisted that the International Olympic committee “seriously violated the procedural rights of the athletes and even withheld exculpatory evidence from the defense and the court.”
The article further details how the ioc deliberately falsified their cases against the athletes. The wada/ioc smearing of the Russians was understood as fraud by many, it is great to see what we all realised early on is now being proven in court.
The injured parties ought to file suit.
This suggests a very interesting set of lawsuits by the injured parties. Yes, this may seem absurd just now, but a timely lawsuit would require many years of legal process…during which time the Courts, always obedient to Power, may experience a change in the form of a wind from the East…
Similarly in US law, suits against Germany were begun before W1, and settled in 1953. The final payment (Germany lost) took place in 1979.
The persons involved in my example are in some cases, spooky, dark, and it’s history rhymes with ours today .

It will be very bad: Lukashenko made a statement about the Maidan in Belarus
2019-01-21 – 01:58:00
The President of Belarus is afraid of a repetition of the Ukrainian events in his homeland. Alexander Lukashenko warned that the Belarusian Maidan could end very badly.
Lukashenko urged not to allow destabilization, which could spread from Ukraine. “Everyone wants to
warm their hands in Ukraine. And the fire that is burning there today should not spread to Belarus”,
said the state leader.
He believes that the overwhelming majority of the inhabitants of Belarus and even the opposition under-
stand that this can end very badly. Ukrainians Lukashenko called the native people to whom trouble
came. Minsk, the president recalled, provided a platform for negotiations on the settlement of the conflict
in the Donbas. “We have had enough of Ukraine, and it will still be there. Therefore, we are involved in
this conflict, one might say, by the ears,” RIA Novosti quotes Lukashenko.
He also touched on relations with Russia, saying that the development of the Union State should take
place on equal terms and taking into account the will of the peoples of the two countries. “I say this to
ensure that you understand my position: we will not be able to push the Belarusians with the Russians.
Not only with the Russians. In general with the Russians,” Lukashenka said and added that playing on
this topic is very dangerous.
But still, the President brought in a fly in the relationship between Moscow and Minsk: he was offended
by the unequal conditions in which bilateral cooperation develops. “Do you want to unify the tax and
customs policy? I agree, but on the best traditions and conditions, we will take all the best from Bela-
rusians and Russians. But not so: we are big, you are small, let’s do it like we have,” Lukashenka said
hinting that Moscow is trying to belittle the role of Minsk.
Recall that the Belarusian president recently made threats against our country, stating that if the Kremlin
does not compensate Minsk for losses from high oil prices, then the outpost protecting Russia in the
western direction will disappear.
These words Old Man said a few days after intensive negotiations with Vladimir Putin. Before the New
Year, the Belarusian leader flew to Moscow twice a week and talked with the Russian president for
several hours. After these visits, Lukashenko declared that all bilateral problems had been practically
resolved, and the creation of the Union of Russia and Belarus was accomplished.

Jacov Kedmi, live in Russian TV, said that the existence of the destroyer of the US Navy in the Black
Sea “is calculated in minutes”
Israeli expert Jacob Kedmi criticized the effectiveness of the American destroyer Donald Cook, sent by Washington to the Black Sea.
January 21, 2019 – 11:06
The United States is still trying to intervene in the situation in the Black and Azov Seas, which has recent-
ly escalated due to the recent provocative actions of Kiev in the area. According to the well-known Israeli diplomat Jacov Kedmi, Washington’s intervention in these processes may sadly end for the American
side. He made such a statement in connection with the information that the American destroyer Donald
Cook was again sent by the Pentagon to the Black Sea.
The expert is confident that if the actions of the US Navy ship “will cause some concern” in Moscow, then
it can sink for only a few minutes. He stated this live in the television program of Vladimir Solovyov.
“The time of the existence of this ship, if its actions will cause any concerns, is calculated in minutes,”
said Kedmi. He added that he made such a conclusion on the basis of a personal understanding of
the situation that has now developed in the Black Sea.
Kedmi also explained that the American military ship would probably be able to do only one launch of
the rocket, but no more, since the second launch could only be made from the seabed.
It is worth noting that on the official website of the Sixth Fleet of the United States Navy, it is reported
that the American destroyer was sent to the Black Sea, allegedly to conduct operations “to ensure
security and strengthen regional stability.”
Recall, on November 25 last year, Kiev made a provocation in the Kerch Strait area, where the ships
of the Ukrainian Navy, violating the state border of the Russian Federation, began to make dangerous
maneuvers and refused to comply with the requirements of the border service of the FSB of Russia.
As a result, the Russian border guards detained the three provocateur ships together with the crews, a
criminal case was opened on the fact of violations. The Ukrainian authorities refuse to admit their guilt
for exacerbatinthe situation and demand to release the arrested sailors, while trying to enlist the support
of the West.

Note the dredged channel is pretty narrow.
The US has a long history of using obsolete ships as lamb to slaughter.
It saves the cost of retirement of crews, medical costs, and scrapping cost.
There is also a tradition of “honor”, and one naturally uses this to entice personnel to sacrifice themselves and their ships. DDG75 was “dishonored” by Ivan’s MiGs. Ergo…
Mutiny is always near, as is death. I would not be surprised is DDG75 “accidentally” ran aground or had a serious “problem” with her machinery… It would amuse if Ivan was asked to tow DDG75 off the mud…I mean, isn’t this what partners do?
Of course there are other outcomes possible.
I went back and re-read your link from the previous café, although a lot of it is familiar to me, including the sacrificial ships and mutiny (currently reading about VN era USS Kitty Hawk mutiny). It is very good to see it all in one piece, it does alter the perspective a bit:
http://adeyinkamakinde.blogspot.com/2013/01/democracy-and-secret-state-deception.html
‘But the costs, measured in the deaths, the mangled bodies, the hatreds unleashed and the colossal waste of economic resources demands that the push for a review of the rationale which has nourished the ongoing militarism needs to be intensified.
The irony of the War on Terror, which has promulgated a doctrine of ‘pre-emptive war’ as a mask for the prosecution of wars of aggression, is that it has amounted to the conducting of a purportedly civilising mission in a grossly uncivilised manner.
History may yet record it as having been not so much a ‘War on Terror’, but as being a perpetration of mass terror and deception.’

HOWTO NEWS
“We need a catastrophe against the Russians”: the long-term preparation of Britain for the
“case of Skripale” has been revealed.
published: January 6, 2019 at 12:48
According to the results of the activities of the well-known hacker group Anonymous, information
inconvenient for London shed light on the scandalous incident and subsequent sanctions against
the Russian Federation
The scandalous incident with the poisoning in Britain of the former spy and his daughter caused
serious political persecution of Western countries against Russia, which in reality was based only on assumptions about the involvement of the Russian Federation in the Salisbury incident. However,
according to the Vzglyad newspaper, members of the hacker group Anonymous disclosed Britain’s
many years of preparation for the Scripale case.
Thus, according to the source, it became known that within the framework of the British state project
Integrity Initiative, several years before certain events, the employee of the British “Institute of Public Administration”, Victor Madeira, pointed out the need to use a catastrophe against the Russians. At
the same time, according to his estimates, this state of affairs was necessary for London as a pretext
for carrying out a large-scale expulsion of Russian diplomats not only from the territory of Great Britain,
but also from a number of other Western states. As a result, the British were planning to achieve the
same result from this political diversion as in 1971 after the FOOT operation, “when 105 Soviet
diplomats were expelled from the UK”.
“My conclusion is that we should either start the debate, or wait for something terrible that will anger us
and force us to act,” says a document published by hackers about the plans of the Director of the
Institute for Public Administration, Christopher Donnelly, who then became the regimental chief
military intelligence teams.
At the same time, from the published data it became known that they included in this group an expert
on chemical and biological weapons, who worked as a military laboratory in Porton Down, located near Salisbury.
Thus, thanks to the publication of Anonymous of these documents, the long-term preparation of Britain
to the “case of Skripale” was revealed. In this context, it becomes obvious that long before the incident
in Salisbury in London, they were convinced that a successful game against the strengthening of
Russian positions in the international arena required a catastrophe that the West could use to carry out
a large-scale diplomatic sabotage against the gaining influence of the Russian Federation.

“British Government Covert Anti-Russian Propaganda and the Skripal Case”
https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2018/12/british-government-covert-anti-russian-propaganda-and-the-skripal-case/
Among the released info about the Integrityless Initiative, he noticed a mention of a meeting.
“So what do we have here? We have a programme, the Integrity Initiative, whose entire purpose is to pump out covert disinformation against Russia, through social media and news stories secretly paid for by the British government. And we have the Skripals’ MI6 handler, the BBC, Porton Down, the FCO, the MOD and the US Embassy, working together in a group under the auspices of the Integrity Initiative. The Skripal Case happened to occur shortly after a massive increase in the Integrity Initiative’s budget and activity, which itself was a small part of a British Government decision to ramp up a major information war against Russia.
I find that very interesting indeed.”

“Do not give in to provocations”: Magnitogorsk authorities called not to panic because of
threatening spam
Published: January 21, 2019 – 11:57
Magnitogorsk, January 21. Magnitogorsk authorities have called on residents of the city not to suc-
cumb to provocations and not to panic about the mass anonymous sending of messages with the
threat of explosions. The city administration considers an anonymous newsletter about possible
mining to be spam.
The city administration noted that all services respond promptly and check every message.
“In Magnitogorsk, cases of anonymous sending of messages in the form of spam have become fre-
quent, the main purpose of which is to destabilize the situation in the city and sow panic among resi-
dents. We ask the citizens not to give in to provocations and not to panic, ”the statement said on
the website of the city administration.
Earlier, a number of media reported that the city hospital number 1 of the city of Magnitogorsk received
a message with the threat of an explosion. According to preliminary data, the letter arrived at the e-mail
of the management of the medical institution.
At the moment, law enforcement agencies are checking information.
“Verification of the information received is currently being carried out by our employees,” the press
service of the UFSB for the Chelyabinsk region told RIA Novosti.
Some media outlets, including the Ural “74.Ru” and Znak.com, reported that not only hospital
employees, but also several other residents of the city received the threatening newsletter.
Note that after the explosion of domestic gas in the house in Magnitogorsk on December 31, which kil-
led 39 people, a number of fake messages spread on the Web. One of them was due to the fact that
the next day after the collapse of the house in Magnitogorsk a minibus caught fire. Some online publi-
cations, citing anonymous sources, reported that a gas explosion in the house and an incident with a
shuttle bus were linked to each other and with terrorism. Magnitogorsk police denied the message.
At the same time, the publication of fakes related to the explosion in Magnitogorsk still lasted for some
time. As previously reported by the Federal News Agency, bots sent fake messages, and some of these publications were made from abroad.
Earlier, the government gave positive conclusions on bills, the provisions of which establish procedures
for blocking resonant fake news. As reported by the head of the State Duma Committee on Information
Policy, Information Technologies and Communications Leonid Levin, the documents will be considered
in the near future. One of the proposed bills proposes to prohibit the publication in the media and the
Network of “inaccurate public information disseminated under the guise of credible reports.” We are
talking about fakes, which pose a threat to society, public order, the functioning of livelihood facilities,
transport or social infrastructure.

Before he finally leaves, Trump will be more hated by the American people than Yeltsin is by Russians. Russia’s friends and RT should be very, very careful about how closely they want to be associated with Trump.
Trump got elected by lying to the workers of the midwest about how he was on their side. Since then, he has put a cabinet of billionaires in charge, gave a huge tax cut to billionaires and corporations. Has started a trade war which crushes the jobs of American worker. Now he’s directly attacking the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of American workers and is forcing hundreds of thousands more to work without pay, all in a temper tantrum over the fact that he can’t just give an imperial order to get his multi-billion dollar construction boondoggle project. Trump has failed on his popular promise to end the regime change wars. Trump resorts to reactionary rhetoric that apparently fires up the former Ku Klux Klansmen in his base, but which leaves most of the country thinking he is an idiot. And this was all in the ‘good times’ while the economy, at least for Wall St was going up. Now that appears to be ending, with Trump’s Trade War playing its part in making the normal business cycle swings worse.
Before this is over, Trump will be hated by almost all Americans. It is thus a huge mistake for Russia’s friends to be too close to Trump. Especially when Trump is clearly powerless to control the American military or Deep State, and thus is incapable of delivering anything that Russia might hope to gain. Like Yeltsin, Trump will be associated with economic misery and an age when the Oligarchs stole the country blind.
Supposedly by international law the US destroyers have only 21 days to stay in the Black Sea so. What is this now?

Vesti story about bringing Russian watch industry back to life:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs0zP5bzw3A
At one point, “interviewer” starts nagging owner about workers not having comfortable enough chairs, and the work being too hard on their eyes. Is this what Saker means by bringing Marx back from the dead?
The guy resurrects an industry and has to deal with questions about chair comfort! Not just questions. The implication was comfortable chairs or else!
Let the dead bury the dead.
Today, Jan 21, we see the truly bizarre sight of the US government having an official holiday for a person who was assassinated by the US government. The truth about the assassination was covered up by the US government. And, in general, the media and politicians use this holiday to present a very distorted view of the person who was killed by the US government, where the views of the assassinated person which led to the decision that he must die are ignored in favor of a fake history.
For instance, it is highly unlikely that you will hear this famous speech given by Dr. King exactly one year before he was killed by the US government.
“It is with such activity in mind that the words of the late John F. Kennedy come back to haunt us. Five years ago he said, “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” [applause] Increasingly, by choice or by accident, this is the role our nation has taken, the role of those who make peaceful revolution impossible by refusing to give up the privileges and the pleasures that come from the immense profits of overseas investments. I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin [applause], we must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered. ”
-“Beyond Vietnam”, Address delivered to the Clergy and Laymen Concerned about Vietnam, at Riverside Church, 4 April 1967, New York City https://ratical.org/ratville/JFK/MLKapr67.html
(link includes a link to an audio recording of this speech.)
William Pepper’s book, “The Plot to Kill King” is highly recommended reading.
His words are inspiring, truthful and that was enough for US government nazi’s to eliminate him. It is their specialty.
I really admire Dr. King. He will shine forever!
Mlk is a national hero, and his assassination cemented his role in american history. His lifework helped to achieve the elite socialist goal of creating the ever burgeoning subclass of ignorant quasi-quadroon bastards seen today. Mlk is a hero to ignorance and self-worshiping slavery and a mythical prince of the proletariat.
The curated and fake MLK is almost as you say, though he is not a national figure, he is an image curated by the State, not the nation, but even worse, this image, created and nurtured with money and care, is used to further divisions inside the “deplorable” class. Divisions such as demands by blacks for special status. Thus the fake MLK, the image, a Janus image, serves to increase the power of the elite.
Contrawise, the living MLK (whom I vividly recall) was a champion of the entire class of people now seen as deplorable. The elite feared him, and their anxiety was well-founded. His murder was a conspiracy between several governmental agencies, including FBI and Atlanta cops.
If, Chris, you knew more about it, then you might be somewhat less embarrassingly rude and strident in your expressions. Withal, the murder prevented MLK from being a National Hero. The State represents the elite, friend, not the nation.
Reminded of Solzhenitsyn’s rebuke of the Nuremberg trials, where he said that the West had killed the very idea of evil once and for all time; while simply not recognizing that evil is not just external to us and therefore can’t be wholly embodied in any one particular government or group, but exists to varying degrees inside everyone and all; and to rid the world of evil is to uproot evil from our own hearts— not to falsely kill evil as an idea represented by one particular group.
Not even Mlk for all his bluster could rally us to the humbling cause of assuming personal responsibility for our own selves.
We speak of two different men. I never saw the slightest evidence of bluster, friend.
Of course the imaginary MLK can have any useful quality, and this may be changed to suit necessities ad hoc.
The most high remembers Martin Luther King. And that’s enough for Martin Luther King. I like a lot of your comments because they have bite. Here is my favourite Jesus witticism: “It is not what goes into one’s mouth that defiles one, but rather what comes out!”
There is a lot to think about regarding kingship — more generally anthropology of sovereignty– the deep state and mythology/folklore. In our post-Christian age (We were never Christian), the innocence of the persecuted is a given.
There is the difference between Jesus and the Pharisees who claimed to honor the prophets but had “Satan” (read political technique?) as their father.
“Each newly installed Presidente was able to take on the mantle of reformer, as he pointed out(to the masses) the flaws of his predecessor.”
Yes, glad to see the reminder about the state celebrating MLK…does anybody understand that the state celebrates the murder, not the life? And worse yet further divides whites and black (I detest these labels) by subtle emphasis…
I disagree as to how Trump got elected (by a lie etc). The criminal lady was possessed of such odious qualities of character, (inter alia, mass murder as well as numerous specific murders) and such a variety of crimes, and self-evident serious illness that she became unelectable. Ergo Trump was elected by default. Of course Trump says many foolish things, he’s a fool. The system preferred a fool over a sick criminal. Not such a bad choice. Probably coincidental though.
Nevertheless there are developing forces that tend to counter or eclipse mere racial divide where it exists.
Thus I was happily surprised to read of an author new to me. Christophe Guilluy.
He has an opinion that links Trump’s election to the Yellow Vests…and his logic seem to rely on facts.

https://www.spiked-online.com/2019/01/11/the-gilets-jaunes-are-unstoppable/
I disagree with Guilluy’s “soft totalitarianism” (spoken of the the latter url) I think something more like a Strategy of Tension reign of domestic terror coincidental to arrests, ie hard total, (but if systematic murder and rigged raids and arrests is soft, then I concede)
Sooo. Since he’s new to me, I assume he may also be new to many others ’round here.
Enjoy
A couple of articles by elijah j magnier about the situation with israel attacking “Iranian” targets in Syria. To my mind, he states the obvious that lebenon needs beefed up air defenses against the israeli atks;I’m sure, however, that there is a lot more than meets the eye to that question.
https://ejmagnier.com/2019/01/21/lebanon-needs-air-defence-system-multiple-attacks-on-syria-during-the-arab-summit-in-beirut/

Here’s something nice, from the old film ‘McCabe and Mrs Miller’ which got a mention here recently:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-B9_kpIihg
Is indeed a beautiful clip…a vignette that foreshadows and mimics and thus amplifies the essential conflict and truth the movie overall describes. The clip ends penultimate with the happy worker boy in a zuswang, where he’s murdered. Later McCabe repeats and follows the boy. In a less brutal and more optimistic way The Big Lebowski describes similarly the relations ships between rente capitalists and the working class at or near the beginning of globalization. But matters have got worse…
Less beautifully yet is the analysis set for which I posted above, https://www.lepoint.fr/societe/faire-passer-les-classes-populaires-pour-fascisees-est-tres-pratique-16-11-2016-2083327_23.php#xtor=CS2-282
This describes the situation dynamic at the present moment…
an excerpt in a poor translation>
“…There is an almost unconscious class scorn conveyed by the media, the cinema, the politics, it’s huge. We saw it for the election of Trump as for the Brexit, only an opinion is presented as good or desirable. It was said that winning an election without political or media relays was impossible, Trump proved to us that, on the contrary, it was false. What matters is the reality of people from their point of view. We are at a very special moment of political and cultural disaffection of the working classes, it is true in peripheral France, but also in the suburbs where the working classes seek to preserve what is left to them: a protective social and cultural capital which allows mutual aid and the social bond. This desire explains the separatist logics within even modest circles. A dynamic, which does not prohibit cohabitation, and which responds to the desire not to become a minority.
So for you [the] elites would try to “re-educate the people” rather than solve its problems?
The bourgeoisie today has understood that it is useless to oppose the people head-on. This is where “class scrambling” comes in, a phenomenon that makes it impossible to assume one’s position. Maintained bobo Steve Jobs, the ideology of cool encourages openness and diversity, in appearance. The discourse of openness to the other makes it possible to maintain the bourgeoisie in a posture of moral superiority without calling into question its class position (which allows the bobo who bypasses the school map, and who…”
Unlike Maud Lebowski, the ruling classes no longer even need stud service from the deplorable Nutzlossen. They perhaps continue to use “Dudes” as fall guys as one group of nutzlossen is pitted against another in (I like his term) “scrambling” of groups in order to liquidate their potential power.
Just as the agents of rente capital used the boy in McCabe, and as they liquidated McCabe…
Yes, that was interesting. I will link the whole thing translated, in case anyone else wants to read it.
What do you think he meant by the word bobo, as in ‘the bobo Steve Jobs’? I misread it first as bonobo, which made me think of Dennis, but it definitely carries the flavour of something not too friendly to Jobs, to me. Do you think it is the French equivalent for bozo?
https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=https://www.lepoint.fr/societe/faire-passer-les-classes-populaires-pour-fascisees-est-tres-pratique-16-11-2016-2083327_23.php&prev=search
My amateur opinion is “bobo” is slang for “bohemian” a “cool cat”, perhaps used in the quotation sarcastically.
Interestingly, I hear that it is sometimes said in the Soviet Space that everything the Soviets said about the west was true, while much of what they said about themselves was not. This idea is, I think, about right.
I note that today it is the Marxists that can see and describe what’s going on, Michael Hudson, many others, and now we see Christophe Guilluy saying much the same things.
Marxists do not seem to be especially good at telling us how to do, or what to do, but they’re very good at analysis. I listen to them.
As I wrote, I do not see why the elites would use soft totalitarianism to control the neonutzlossenvolk. Rather closer to the Years of Lead in Gladio operations, perhaps re-creating an obedient Red Brigades and even another Aldo Moro, over and over again. But if that is seen as soft, well, I concede.
What would be a soft totalitarianism ? isn’t the one we find ourselves in now ?
My opinion is that he’s expressing hope, not reality, when he writes:
“…Now the elites are afraid. For the first time, there is a movement which cannot be controlled through the normal political mechanisms. The gilets jaunes didn’t emerge from the trade unions or the political parties. It cannot be stopped. There is no ‘off’ button. Either the intelligentsia will be forced to properly acknowledge the existence of these people, or they will have to opt for a kind of soft totalitarianism. ..”
There’s zero reason given to expect soft.
Now, for us? How is our repression soft?
I do not know what soft totalitarianism is, here we are with John, Martin, Bobby, Malcolm and hundreds more dead…what’s soft about a bullet? Obviously nothing. And what’s soft about making wars of aggression? Again, nothing, well, perhaps the soft soil filling a grave now and then…
Well, totalitarianism is explained here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totalitarianism
Just at the beginning you may find the main characteristics written there suitable to compare with what you wrote about, namely in US. Many things fits to the actuality, right ? In my view, that is still not yet completely a totalitarian state, and we can add here the entire west, including the whole EU. There are remarkable similarities between the EU and US in this regard, though US is a few more steps ahead in this regard. There are still certain liberties and “liberties” which are allowed – for which many east-Europeans were happy to join and they are still happy to do so. They were happy ( a large number of them ) to escape from the communist/socialist garden because in their view that was the real totalitarian system. That’s why I’m saying, that what we have now is a soft totalitarianism – and the west was more softer in the time of still living Soviet Block ! After the collapse of Soviet Union & Friends, the western system led by US has begun to show up its face, step by step. When almost a total victory was achieved, suddenly came Putin at helm in Russia and everything has changed, the final victory flew away, taken by the bear.
New calculations for the new situation, new restrictions, etc. Meanwhile, appeared the internet and people have begun to find a new world, with tremendous information just at a click distance. They begun to learn, many bad things but also good ones. So become the internet a new battlefront for the system. In a totalitarian case scenario, this battlefield (the entire internet) would be closed. Once the ghost came out from the bottle, it is very hard to put it back, therefore the softness – MSM, twitter, facebook, and other social media tools for disruption, versus the various blogs like this one.
According to the writer Sheldon Wolin, we are now living in an ‘Inverted Totalitarianism’ as he titled his book on the subject. I envisage that not as a soft totalitarianism but as a disguised totalitarianism. It is totalitarian in nature but unlike previous incarnations which were obvious to those it is imposed upon and could therefore be confronted if not openly battled, this one is deliberately and deceptively presented as benign and cosy to the recipients, (who are at the same time denied the tools to examine it for truth).
It is a form of ‘gaslighting’ (a psychological ploy used to exert control) and is insidious as it plays on what humans hold to be most precious, human values, in order to subvert humanity. I think a lot of the craziness and despair we see in the west among the ‘deplorables’ is caused by this ploy.
I haven’t read this chap’s book so it is not a recommendation but the description is basic and serviceable as a start. I was gaslighted as an independent-minded child. It took me until my mid-thirties to struggle through the morass it left my head and to start to really think clearly for myself.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/communication-success/201704/7-stages-gaslighting-in-relationship
I don’t think it is just Marxists, or anything attributable to Marxism that avoids telling us what to do. People vary to such a great extent, personally, culturally, in their hopes and dreams for life, that there is no ‘one size fits all’ prescription that suits everyone. Recognising that fact precludes any form of imposed control from outside. It never works out as expected anyway, so smart people don’t do it beyond basic rules for harmonious social behaviour that everyone can easily follow.
This is good, from the same chap as linked above, an updating on the older ‘psychopaths among us’ of Martha Stout or the checklist of Dr Hare:

“bobo” is a term invented by David Brooks. It refers to the new upper classes who have “wed the bourgeois world of capitalist enterprise to the hippie values of the bohemian counterculture”.
There was a ‘bobo the clown’ also who was quite famous apparently, in the past, though your description sounds more applicable to Steve Jobs and how countercultures are continually co-opted to become mainstream capitalist enterprise when they threaten the status quo power holders:

The recent prolonged bombardment of the Damascus airport and its environs by the IDF should disabuse everyone of the notion that the S-300 transfer to Syria has done anything meaningful to alter the situation in Syria vis-a-vis the IDF. After a brief hiatus to reassess Russian intentions, the IDF has now established beyond all doubt that it is free to bomb Syria at will without fear of Russian (or Syrian retaliation).
The Russians (and the Syrians) continue to declare “red lines” and the Israeli continue to stomp all over those red lines while the Russians and Syrians do nothing. At this point it is difficult to see how any reasonable observer could conclude anything other than that the Russians are running a policy in Syria based entirely upon bluff and bluster.
In the past, Saker has argued that IDF air attacks in Syria do not substantially alter the course of the war or its outcome. I am curious if he still maintains that position and if he still believes the Russians/Syrians can deter the Israelis/US without actually backing up their declared red lines with real military force against real military targets? Thanks.
Damascus asked UN useless idiots why it does nothing to chastise Israel…and says it has the right to hit back at Israeli airport……I ask myself why not go to the head of the snake the government…. but maybe that is not sensibly proportionate….oh boy feels like we need a sitrep here….cos surely Iran’s patience ……is limitless? Or not?
ioan,
Coming to the cafe after a long break I’m feeling very lonely. Looking back, i remember many of our friends went out of this website, many are here with Saker.
For me, you were the longest thread of relationship – yes, at the fag end of life, I’m quite clear in my mind that human relationship grows more due to mental & intellectual wavelength, much less with blood & genetic lineage !
So, when you welcomed me 3 days back responding to my long comment and you stated that you are nearing end, a sense of gloom descended on me – someone who could read my mind and I could read his, will depart physically …. Well, I know, in the mental or metaphysical world you will continue.
I will request you to share some details, if you don’t mind, like your illness and which city you are living in. Don’t know if there is any possibility to see you…
Straight-Bat
i’m very glad you are here again ! If you want to know more, please ask Herb for my email address !
Life goes on, my dear friend, till the bitter end. I speak (write) sometimes in parable – probably too much poetry went on my mind but there is always some truth in it. I don’t know how much time you had to come here and read the Cafe, many interesting discussions occur almost always, in fact is hard to leave this scene. As the Cafe is Moveable, the landscape is changing from one cafe to the other, our good old host is the same, the waiter as well. Fairly enough, I used to speak with him often, he’s very friendly and has sense of humor, which some may lack or are shy to show it.
I still didn’t forget your appreciation for my drawings back in May last year and the ideas, suggestions you gave me (more on that by email).
On the other hand, I really missed you in a lot of discussions. I really hope that others will follow your example and come back as in the old times (which is not too old, just a few years have passed – but when man gets older, each day counts)
You know very well, what is meant by critical thinking – that is our freedom of saying and naming things by name, in a process to build a better society in general and as a mean to have really good, balanced conversation here. Welcome back to the Cafe : – Waiter ! please give us a bottle of Champagne, now we cannot complain, neither refrain !
Dear friend ioan,
I have always noticed that, most of your poetry is rooted in reality ! Your existence is tied with poetry where you beutifully portray reality and hope and despair and laments.
Yes, I can recall suggesting you to carry on with drawings on Russian land-people-society. But, it is great that you still remembered that ! Similarly, I remember your appreciation and thuoght response on most of my comments & posts.
We both want to build a better society that will uphold humanity, truth and justice – that is our common dream. I’m sure, future generations will pick up the thread we will leave – someday we will win our fight against evil (we may not exist physically on the earth, but our conscience will be with pious and righteous forces )
Looking forward to discuss more on email.

RT “gets” the USA wrong again. They should stay out of the culture wars until they can see a psy op for what it is. Initially their reporting on the Covington incident was just as skewed as the lame stream media. Ya think? you would immediately be suspicious, very suspicious of the package being delivered. It must be all those ‘lefties’ you have on your staff. The only proclaimed conservative is Peter Lavelle and he guards his bailiwick well.
When the CIA/CNN produces the next false victimization narrative as a false flag attack on the heartland, are you going to pause, step back and do careful journalism? One can hope so.
There is a reason I avoid RT America. With Gonzo, however, they may just be able to raise credibility. It makes me very suspicious about their reporting on what is going on in Russia, however. Here is the latest on this Covington charade. This kids are going to be labeled as one of the Covington 14 forever in the Looneyland of false memories never forgot. So much for the coming war of humanity against humanity.
https://www.rt.com/usa/449371-trump-silent-covington-scandal/
I pushed myself to watch the full 2 hour or so footage this morning. But, I do not see what the other people see. I see a fully created incident or, an incident which was used to create another, immediately. The whole thing is being shouted at with nomenklature, racism, innocent youth and and and blame, bitter blame and words, flaming words. Do people not have anything positive to keep themselves busy with? I think this made me realize even more what the so-called “cultural marxism” is all about.
You know, I am a parent. Sending kids of this age to go and attend a Pro Life rally (what do they know anyways?) and then set them loose in their MAGA hats is just looking for trouble. The boy kid that just stood there smiling at the drummer .. my mom would have clouted me one around the ears (and me, my children), if I did not give way immediately to an older adult … no matter what he was doing.
It is the first time that I saw the black Israelis or whatever they call themselves. It is venomous. foolish and ignorant garbage.
It sure is a different world.

Here is visual proof that the ice is melting do to man-made global warming is a total scam. There is not supposed to be any ice according to global warming theory and yet, unless you are blind, the above image shows the North Pole full of ice. [See image:Sea Ice Extent, Jan 08, 2018, National Snow and Ice Data Center, U of Colorado, Boulder]
It’s devastating news for human-caused global warming proponents. In reality it is “The sun, not CO2, that drives Earth’s climate,” says Dr Roger Higgs, long-time consultant geologist and sedimentologist. Global warming and cooling are driven by the sun, specifically by the solar-sourced Interplanetary Magnetic Field, which regulates incoming cosmic rays, which in turn govern cloudiness and thus global temperature. Earth is now cooling. Global warming ended in 2016: proof that the sun, not CO2, drives Earth’s climate. Moreover, from AD500 to 1200, CO2 levels were anti-correlated with Earth’s temperature.”
There is more extensive Arctic and Antarctic sea ice during recent decades than there has been for nearly all of the last 10,000 years. With all the hysterics about ice melting – Greenland Ice Sheet is far above the mean. This chart below from the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) speaks for itself. The blue line shows Greenland ice-mass balance as of today. It is greater than the mean – the average – from 1981 to 2010 (dark gray line)
image
For this year, the DMI scientists calculated a total SMB of 517bn tonnes, which is almost 150bn tonnes above the average for 1981-2010, ranking just behind the 2016-17 season as sixth highest on record.
You can believe that global warming fever is causing serious brain damage to its frantic believers when they come up with studies that say the exact opposite. Read the headlines! ‘Greenland’s Rapid Ice Melt Persists Even in Winter, Study Finds.’
In the latest troubling study regarding how the climate crisis is affecting the world’s iciest regions, a new report by the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) found that the second-largest ice sheet in the world is currently melting even in winter. The study follows a report released earlier this month showing that Greenland’s ice melt rate is currently faster than it’s been in about 7,000 years. The island’s 650,000 cubic miles of ice is melting 50 percent faster than it did in per-industrial times.
That was not enough for the real climate deniers (liars). Today we read:
Time Magazine published, “Greenland’s massive ice stockpile is melting faster than previously thought, and it may be too late to do anything about it except “adapt,” scientists have warned in a new study.
The rate of ice loss there is up to four times faster than it was in 2003 and is contributing to rising sea levels, according to the new data.
The findings, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), used NASA climate data and GPS stations to study Greenland’s ice sheets, the infamous Guardian reports.
Fantastic lies? Need more convincing that the mass media and most climate scientists and climate organizations are the real climate deniers? Look at the below charts and then below to see why global warming is the greatest deception in history.

“A Guardian calculation found the average heating across that 150-year period was equivalent to about 1.5 Hiroshima-size atomic bombs per second. But the heating has accelerated over that time as carbon emissions have risen, and was now the equivalent of between three and six atomic bombs per second.” Yesterday we talked about Bill Gate’s Climate Fantasies. The Guardian and many other major mass media publications that all try to outdo each other in publishing the greatest fantasies ever told.
Forbes Magazine, one of the few reasonable media organizations published about a study at the end of 2018 stating that the world’s oceans had absorbed up to 60% more heat than initially thought over the previous 25 years is being re-evaluated. Scientists are concluding that ocean temperatures are rising at a slower rate than the study previously stated.
Armstrong Economics writes, “As the fake academics keep pushing the Global Warming scenarios because that justifies more taxes and they are rewarded with endless grants, I have warned that it is Global Cooling we should be concerned about. Particularly the elderly should really try to relocate to warmer territory. The death rate caused by the extreme cold that has been taking place since 2015 is now officially twice that of the year before. In Britain, they call it Winter Deaths and in Wales, the death toll was DOUBLE during 2017-18 – rising from 1,850 the year before to 3,400 and winter is not finished yet. We are on track for doubling the 2017-2018 season this round.”
Fake news, fake academics, fake scientists, fake politicians are putting out so much hot air it is no wonder half the people in the world believing its getting warmer when the world is indeed getting colder. There is nothing fake about the weather today. It is true that weather is one thing and climate another but come on people we are not reading about heat waves unless you live in Rio in Brazil.
The National Weather Service had forecast that temperatures would be more than 20 degrees below normal across the Northeast, with wind gusts up to 30 mph (48 kph) and wind chills approaching minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 40 degrees Celsius) in northern New York and Vermont.
Atop the Northeast’s highest mountain, the temperature fell to minus 23 degrees (minus 31 Celsius) Monday morning and dropped to minus 31 (minus 35 Celsius) later in the afternoon, according to the Facebook page for Mount Washington Observatory, in New Hampshire. Wind chills were hovering around minus 80 (minus 62 Celsius).
Ottawa residents awoke Saturday morning to find themselves living in the coldest capital city on Earth, about 20 degrees colder than Moscow and Helsinki, even edging out Ulan Bator, Mongolia, by a degree. The low of -24°C (-11.2 F) combined with nearly 30 cm (12 inches) of snow made it Ottawa’s coldest snowstorm in more than 100 years.
The cold weather contributed to multiple deaths over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. Thousands of homes and businesses remained without power leaving people freezing inside. Of course the CDC will translate cold deaths to fake deaths caused by the flu. Or perhaps global warming maniacs will translate cold deaths into death by fever proving once and for all that the world is getting warmer and the sun does not matter to life, the weather or climate down here on earth.
Conclusion
I don’t think anyone is prepared to accept the level of chaos that’s coming from cold climate change and we have politicians, the media and governmental organizations to thank for this. Perhaps 95% of the population doesn’t give a damn about anything other than their social media posts, celebrity news and fashion shows. Fifty percent believe in man-made global warming so they are not expecting cold snowier than normal conditions to affect them. Most people’s ability to face reality on any subject — politics, finance, science, ecology, etc. — has collapsed to almost zero yet as the yellow jacket revolution is suggesting, for a growing groundswell of people, this is changing rapidly.
Just for fun: It’s so cold, parts of Niagara Falls have frozen like a scene from a Disney movie. Global warmers please read again, it does not say its so warm! The American and world public of course are going to feel swindled.
AND, The links are??? Apart from this one:

News on ‘Tommy Robinson’ who has had a better reception in the US than he has ever had at home, where his career first as a football thug, then EDL agitator, his very brief ‘conversion to peace’ and subsequent return to street agitation with connections to Israeli funding, is somewhat better known:
https://www.rt.com/uk/449437-syrian-schoolboy-facebook-robinson/
There were select committee (Parliamentary) hearings into Facebook late last year where some moderation practices were admitted:
‘It emerged last year that prominent far-right activists on social media such as Robinson are protected from the normal rules of moderation. For violations that would usually see a page removed, Facebook does not act as “they generate a lot of revenue,”’
What wasn’t examined was the role of the police in covertly nurturing and encouraging such groups in the first place, for reasons of their own, but the presence of undercover police spy infiltrators in domestic political protest groups has been common knowledge since the 70s. They tend to make the best agitators being both more extreme and more ruthless than the usual members. Its Gladio-esque, or new wine in old bottles.
@ Sam…Your ideas about ice reminded me of a movie…and also of a fellow who wants to believe. Climate changes. Fascist Capital colonizes whatever it can… Nearly everything they say is suspect…but the geological evidence and the physics simply is, quite independent of belief. You can effect zero change. Read, study, chop wood, carry water, repeat, and hope dies last, thank goodness.
But to the movie…”Cold Heart” – I understand it’s Berlin slang…Kuhle Wampe…
Not so many years ago the syllabus or canon for intellectuals in the Occident included Brecht’s movie Kuhle Wampe oder: Wem gehört die Welt
The final 8 minutes is especially fun…I like the final words and songs…
But it’s a movie that seems just now as Yellow Vests and peripheral nutzlossenvolk act in ways not desired by the ruling class, just now seems worth a full viewing.

Recently through the agency of a so-called “think-tank” it’s become plain that Imperial Lusts for Russian Treasure – all of it, and for free – motivate the aggressors.
This is not a new development.
The Tank? http://theduran.com/is-the-violent-dismemberment-of-russia-official-us-policy/
and https://thehill.com/opinion/national-security/424511-managing-russias-dissolution
But that the greedy goal is of long-established provenance? Where do we see this?
Here, in their own words, they describe the wealth they were unable to grab with the experiment of European Fascists, At that time the sinister control by Britain’s deep-state of the US was incomplete, FDR and many other stood in the way, and for the American Republic. Such restraints are now liquidated.
Anyway the movie describing the treasure? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrKDBFJoo2w
It’s interesting what the film claims inter alia — that Russian will to Freedom is an historic tradition, while also the will to power animates “our enemies” eg animates Russia’s enemies… I should like to see American TV describe the matter today…and try to weasel out of the contradictions, let alone the greedy and obvious implications…
This is good, Mean Mary playing ‘Iron Horse.’ The US has some fabulous landscapes, so varied and strange:

Thank you, one minion for this one, reminding of the natural America one fell in love with forever,
like with Russia.
Macron has been promising reform to the Yellow Vests as he acknowledges what happened to previous sovereigns who ignored calls for reform (Louis XVI).
However, he is promising something else entirely to the concerned CEO’s of multinationals that he met to alleviate their worries about investing in France at this time. He and Merkel are agreed on the need for a Europe-wide Army, in addition to and running parallel to NATO structures already in place—so this is an addition, not ‘instead of.’ NATO stays.

The gist reminded me of Maggie Thatcher with her insistence on ‘TINA,’ and “There is no such thing as society” and her labelling of the working class in general and the miners in particular as “The enemy within” before setting out to break the unions.
There cannot be any doubt left that this is a continuing, unbroken policy being pursued directly against the people, the ‘deplorables’ (that’s you and me, folks, unless your daddy set you up a trust fund), can there?
This may be one coin with two faces, a Strategy Janus…as this “European Army” would have as primary function the control of “insurrection” or “disorder civil” etc…ie it’s not an “army” but a Eu SS
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schutzstaffel
Such an organization would naturally organize the dialogue and reform…
Shall I go on?
I have not yet watched the Battle for Russia film, but will do shortly. I have been reading on the Duran and found this piece, The ‘Integrity Iniative and British Roots of the Deep State’ written by a LaRouchian, as is obvious from the themes:

While I disagree with the popular internet view that Betty (QE11) and her brood are descended from lizards, I do agree that she has what is often called a vestigial ‘lizard brain’, as every last one of us humans has also, unless it is just a howling cavern of empty space up there in the head—– marginally possible but hardly probable.
Here is where the ‘lizard brain’ idea comes from. David Icke tweaked it a bit and ran with that idea, in a turquoise tracksuit, to a pile of riches beyond his wildest dreams. Betty is no different from you and me, just filthy rich and getting a whole lot richer every day:

Not a LaRouche fan, myself, by a long stretch but the above article is a pretty accurate history of Anglo-American relations since Cecil Rhodes finally decided what he was going to do with the vast colonial riches he had murderously amassed from across the globe.

re: Pantsir hit by Israelis. Isn’t common practice to deploy these in pairs and to stagger the firing and reloading so as to avoid just this eventuality?
Also Montreaux convention article 18: Now come Feb 11th whose responsibility is it to tell the Donald Cook that by international law it has overstayed its allotted time of 21 days?
