“Look out of your windows, watch the skies
Read all the instructions with bright blue eyes
We’re W.A.S.Ps, proud American sons
We know how to clean our teeth and how to strip down a gun
We’re the 51st state of America
Our star-spangled Union Jack flutters so proud
Over the dancing heads of the merry patriotic crowd
Look out of your windows, watch the skies
Read all the instructions with bright blue eyes
We’re W.A.S.Ps, proud American sons
We know how to clean our teeth and how to strip down a gun
We’re the 51st state of America
Our star-spangled Union Jack flutters so proud
Over the dancing heads of the merry patriotic crowd
Tip your hat to the Yankee conqueror
We’ve got no reds under the bed with guns under our pillows
We’re the 51st state of America
Here in the land of opportunity, watch us revel in our liberty
You can say what you like but it doesn’t change anything
Because the corridors of power are an ocean away

Heads up : Venezuela. It is reported ? That Colombian army tanks are lining up along a Venezuelan border state where the followers of Gweedo Gusano have organised a protest.?
Also Since the US has blocked the additives that Venezuela used to increase the grade of its oil and because transit costs will rise drastically in shipping to China and India, the economy is taking another big hit.
2 million Venezuelan are organised into citizen militias.
Needlessly provoking statement removed by The Saker
January 30th marks the anniversary of Hitler’s Machtübernahme. I suppose Juan Guaido in Venezuela is quite pissed as we speak: Despite the full backing of Western imperialism, he seems to have botched his glorious Machtübernahme as January 30th draws to a close.
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
Hitler para consultar
What the above lyrics hint at is that Hitler, unlike Trump and the US neocons and their support of a pathetic piss-ant in today’s Venezuela, was quite a cunning specimen. Our contemporary Pindos are just possessed by narcissistic evil.
I get it: Flapper Cafe.

Oh, here’s an update on the Demons, Psychopaths and Cannibals series of posts:

Q: “How is all this related to Baal Worship and the Canaanites, down to today?”
A: “Well, one of the things that inspired me to even start this whole thing was an equation that I found, I don’t even remember whether it was on Instagram or the web, but it said, basically:
Baal + Canaannites = Cannibals
The Blood Plot (and Clot) Thickens.
You CAN opt out of the First, the Foremost, and the Last (“Ultimate”) Cult ………employing a combination of Faith….and Reason.
If you skip the blood, BTW.
I didn’t want to add “Vampires” to the other 3…but maybe I have to..
The flappers never fail to make me gasp in awe. In style and attitude they remind me of early 80’s American punk rockers (you had to be there)
By the way, does Q have anything to say about Elliot Abrams, Guaido, Gilet Jaunes, Venezulea and how they all relate to “the Plan”?
I see Q as an after-(high) school job, written by millenials somewhere, oh, say in the middle east. High hourly pay, online posts paid by word count. Every now and then a bonus occurs and they produce promotional videos. Blogs and youtubers are monitored to ensure comments sections stay within the barely-believable.
Warm regards from this battle weary corner.
I had a grand aunt who was a flapper. When I knew her she was an older lady we visited on holiday occasions…she worked for the state department of usa in London “durch der kreig”, and was particularly taken with the Polish expat officers she bedded, evidently in joyous promiscuous abandon.
How I wish I could chat with her now.
She knew all sorts of secrets…first-hand.
Would love to have talked to her too; also, Louise Brooks.
Would love to hear more about the ternary computing you discussed a few weeks ago, most interesting subject.
Picture of the Past
by ioan
Those women in the picture
Beauties of the past,
Where are you now my ladies,
If not in grave and dust ?
Full of hope and full of life,
Sweet with sorrow and glamour,
Softly dresses, kinky hats,
And Champagne to make L’amour !
Charming smiles and tender steps,
In a breeze of sweet perfume,
Tempting, cheering on the street,
On a day in mid of June.
In a blinking of an eye,
Train arrived, they said goodbye,
Oh, that world has gone so fast,
In that picture of the past…
What remains for us today
Is the picture and a liquor
On the table in Cafe
While the time is getting quicker.
And the horror was creeping nearer
when those fashionable ladies
joined the magic mirror of style
paid with early custom of lying
each ‘in innocence’ everywhile
and Sun and Mercury in suspending Aquarius
are suspending the center by the publicness of
its aggressive plans in the current week
see:
https://astromundanediary.blogspot.com/2019/01/suspension-and-enlightment.html
and meditate the unconscious eternity out of and in us
Mars on a mission
Thrusts against a Pluto push back
So starts the tettering
The shifting
The wavering
Until with Uranus
The sudden slip
And tumble down
And all the King’s horses
And all the King’s men
Couldn’t put Trumpty-Dumbty
Together again.

The EU Parliament voted to recognize Guaido as interim president of Venezuela :
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-venezuela-politics-eu/eu-parliament-recognizes-guaido-as-venezuelan-interim-president-idUSKCN1PP1HQ
They also asked all members of the EU do do the same. The Empire has gone in full offensive mode and they won’t stop. I wouldn’t be surprised if they will activate the Hague Tribunal in advance for the bloodshed which will come in Venezuela. The strategy is the same old one as everywhere, the tricks are working only Syria is an exception until now.
ioan, keep the faith. Syria is an exception yes, but it took many years. The Venezuelans may just be the new exceptions on the block. Remember ‘Assad must go’? Well, Assad is still there. The powers that be have not managed to overthrow Venezuela up to now … so, they are trying something new, which is to split the leadership – they have failed up to now. The Venezuelans, the real people, understand regime change and they will fight. Not that anyone wants to see a fight, but Syria had to fight. The sheer level of indoctrination and population mind-control around Syria was as bad as what we see now for Venezuela. Keep the faith!
ioan,
First, I have sent email from my emailbox to webmaster requesting your email i.d. Hope to receive soon.
Now coming to my response to your post. I’m 100% sure that upto 90% of all countries may recognize Guaido (due to strong arm tactics by Zionist Imperialist Deep State & where manipulation fail, disbursement of cash-fried “cookies” do wonders with the political leadership and governing bureaucracy). But that doesn’t mean the Venezuelan and Colombian revolutionary heritage will be tamed by the shameless attempt of seizure of Petroleum reserves by the Neoconservative-cum-Neoliberal psychopath gang. It actually have helped the anti-imperialist anti-capitalist revolutionaries to regroup and fight untill victory in Venezuela and Colombia !
Got that mail, our revolutionary spirit made that possible, especially yours after making the good steps.
No amarynth, I’m not losing my faith, I’m losing the patience but even that would not be a problem if, if not for the expected bloodshed scenario which had been repeated and repeated again in the wake of the UN impotence over the last 29 years (at least).
As you say Straight-Bat, they will, especially the europeans. I won’t be surprised if the EU has already in their mind to send financial help to Guano.(Guaido)
… it seems Italy is not to be infected with Washington’s greedy ambitions …
Italy’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Manlio Di Stefano told the Tv2000 broadcaster on Thursday,
“Italy does not recognize Guaido because we absolutely oppose the fact that a country or a group of third countries can determine internal policies of another country.
This is called the principle of non-interference and has been recognized by the United Nations.”
https://sputniknews.com/latam/201902011072014281-italy-not-recognizing-guaido-venezuelan-interim-president-deputy-fm/
EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Federica Mogherini should be stating what Italy’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Manlio Di Stefano stated above, but hasn’t got the guts.
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201902011072013436-eu-venezuela-contact-group-establishment/
(The Venezuelan people have had a fair election and that is that, and it’s their business and does not require confirmation by meddling foreigners.)
Hopefully Italy will stand firm to this position and get some allies…I’m saying this with a spoon of skepticism.

They stroll in style without a care

To spoil an outing on a day they share
Now they’re set…..

These gals so very cheerful and gay
Will finish up feasting at our moveable cafe

“You can hear it coming
Like train out of control
Surely leaves you wondering
Exactly where your ticket goes
You scream to the conductor
He’s been deaf for twenty tears
Hear the other people laughin’
As he grinds through every gear
Go to grab your nerve you find that its been missing
Seems you lost your faith in everyone you know
I surely hope that you don’t plan on winning
Best start paying more attention to the ones that throw you clear
Your seconds from the impact, and moving way too slow”

http://www.minareport.com/2019/01/25/greek-mp-lets-stop-with-this-nonsense-macedonia-was-never-greek/
Greek Macedonia never was, but became “Greek” thanks to the Bucharest Treaty in 1912/13, and importing massive population in 1921/22 when refugees from Asia Minor came. There was no Greek majority in Macedonia. So we made it “Greek” with a population exchange, through difficult events that we survived as a people, but not just us, but other people in the region. When I hear and read signs saying “Macedonia is one and Greek” – who are we kidding with this, we’re only mocking ourselves – stated Greek MP Nikos Filis in speech to Greek Parliament.
To help the Greek MP, a little fact of Aegean Macedonia is that when the land was ripped away from Macedonia ( Bucharest Treaty ), only 9% of the population there considered themselves “Greek”, while 76% was Macedonian, and 15% was of Turkish descent.
A well known song in Macedonia – Vardare, Pirin kaj ti e, Egej kaj ti e…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIyNK7DAIi0
The title asks, “Vardar, Where is Pirin, where is Aegean…”
After 500 years of Ottoman occupation, Macedonia was divided amongst its neighbours. Greece received the lion’s share, Aegean Macedonia, just over 50% of the entire territory, Serbia received the Vardar region, under 40% and Bulgaria the Pirin region ( Albania was afforded a small area next to Ohrid Lake ). The Balkan Wars resulted in the so-called Bucharest Treaty, dividing Macedonia and submitting the native Macedonians to heavy assimilative pressures from the occupying countries. Later, Vardar region ( named after the famously fertile Vardar River ) was returned to the Macedonians ( from Serbian occupation ) as part of the Kingdom of Jugoslavia. This is the basis of the lie spread by Greeks, Bulgarians Albanians and many Serbs, that Tito “created Macedonians”, a lie which is especially ironic in Greece’s case, as we know that “Greeks” themselves were created by the West.
The project “dismemberment of Republic of Macedonia and dissolution of it’s identity” is a US led effort where native populations are cleared away ( sound familiar? ) in order that the occupying US/EU client states, are then expected to cow-tow to US interests in the region. With the imposition of US created R. of North Macedonia, Macedonians formally no longer exist. ( Macedonians in the diaspora will not accept the new name, and I expect many lawsuits will follow where Greeks etc. will try to take that as well… )
With Tsipras claiming the newly created North Macedonians as friends ( sorry, I’m not one of them and nor will any self respecting Macedonian ) and Aleksandar Vujčić saying Serbia will be first to “recognise” North Macedonia, we see that Vujčić along with Tsipras, is 100% client of US/NATO. This is in stark contrast to Putin/Russia who said they will not recognise the name as anything other than Macedonian. Those that remain in recognition of Macedonian name as belonging to Macedonians, are Russia, China and Turkey. Out of 145 bilateral recognitions, 3 remain. Btw, is Vujčić that clueless, ie; does not know that dissolution of Macedonia means Serbia is next?
The Might is always right
The winner takes it all
While the weak, in his plight
Crashes head on Mighty wall.
Nothing changed from the beginning
Weaker side gets spit on face
While the Angels keep on singing :
“Blessed are those in Grace !”
— and Aleksandar Vujčić saying Serbia will be first to “recognise” North Macedonia —
This is wrong but you overlook that Macedonia was quick to “recognize” Kosovo. And Macedonia did serve as a launching pad for NATO’s attack on Serbia and for the KLA militants.
I remember in late 2000/early 2001, that Serbia kept warning Macedonia of Albanian terrorist militant groups training camps all over northern Macedonia. But Macedonia kept dismissing it.
I think Macedonia thought that the terrorists would only attack southern Serbia so they didn’t care.
But then they launched a war in northern Macedonia and soon Macedonia was screaming for help about it.
So Macedonia betrayed the Serbs first.
Plus you ignore that ethnic Serbs were cleansed and discriminated against the Yugoslav communists and that 100s of thousands of Macedonian Serbs left Macedonia right after WWII.
In recent years, Macedonia had harassed the Serbian churches and clergy in Macedonia.

The CLC, Canada’s Labour Congress, representing over three million Canadian workers, issued a statement Wednesday calling on the Justin Trudeau government to promote dialogue instead of intervention and a military coup.
“Venezuelans need to resolve their differences through constructive dialogue and democratic processes without resorting to violence,” said CLC President Hassan Yussuff.

Trump’s wall is being built to keep South Americans in place, but will not keep Washington in its place … “a one sided wall”.
Venezuela … a positive note …
Russia has backed Maduro’s socialist government to the tune of billions of dollars, and is standing by him. Russian Mercenaries arrived in Venezuela this week to shore up Maduro’s rule by protecting the President.

The Moscow Times is a fifth columnist newspaper.
You must not believe this dirt sheet.
Azorka, as I read quite a few political articles before posting just one, I do suspect The Moscow Times is not doing any favours for Russia. If the story is true, then it would be better to keep this quiet. These days who do we believe? Well amarynth suggested to me some time back to read TeleSur News, but even here we should bear in mind that South America is divided and partially conquered. Personally I would not send mercenaries to protect Maduro, but would send special Russian/Chechen undercover trustworthy professionals. The Kremlin has admitted that some personnel were flown in, but is not saying who they are. Whatever the truth of this story it will have caused the plotters to settle down for a while. Also, if gold has been airlifted to Russia this is good because money is owed to Russia and London refuses to release Venezuelan gold holdings. All this reportage, in my view, is good for Maduro and Venezuela, and the truth of it is of secondary importance. Sometimes fifth columnists can be useful in their miscalculations.
Percy Bysshe Shelley, husband of Mary who wrote the story ‘Frankenstein’ as an exercise to relieve boredom whilst on holiday, himself wrote this epic poem, ‘The Masque of Anarchy’. It was written in response to the Peterloo Massacre of 1819 when peacefully protesting commoners were slaughtered by sword-wielding mounted militia in Manchester, England. (The Guardian newspaper was also founded as a result of this massacre, as the Manchester Guardian—-things have changed a bit since then.)
Percy’s poem has inspired many, from Gandhi to Thoreau and the ideas crop up in many later works, the most quoted being the last line in the last stanza, which is a bit of a repeated refrain:
‘Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number—
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you—
Ye are many—they are few.’
I think that Mary wrote her story as a cautionary tale, which was the fashionable thing in those days, not as something to aspire to, at least, that’s how I read it.
The whole thing (Percy’s poem) is worth a read, if you like that kind of thing:
https://www.poetsgraves.co.uk/Classic%20Poems/Shelley/the_mask_of_anarchy.htm
Funny to read “Percy Bysshe Shelley, husband of Mary who wrote the story ‘Frankenstein’ when usually the case is presented the other way round. What a pity that we have no printed literature from Frau von Goethe – her brother was a successful playwright: “Goethe, brother in law of Christian August Vulpius…”
But yes, “Percy’s poem has inspired many, from Gandhi to Thoreau and the ideas crop up in many later works…”, and one inspiration I never saw mentioned is the idea and form for Bert Brecht’s “Der Anachronistische Zug oder Freinheit und Democracy” written in 1947, with contemporary germ content. Aw yes, Brecht was the husband of Helene Weigel.
Do you have a problem, Anonymous, with my choice of word order?
It is my choice, not yours, and I own it. I have no problem with it or I would not have used it.
No, one minion, I haven’t, did not mention it (Kaufman did or does once in his text, which I read with more interest than disgust about literature about literature about literature), did not remark anything strange or unwelcome about it and certainly did not want to steal it from you… so that you may relax.
You can further relax in case you were worried that I might have wanted to criticise you, this was also not the case. You did present a well-known fact the other way round than it is usually done – not a case of word order but of ranking, or Rangordnung in germ language and society – which I found “funny”, since an unexpected event is often tentatively accepted as humour for avoiding more sinister interpretations: Shelley, an author famous for having been wed to the inventor of the well known Frankenstein character…
I admit I never heard of Wolfenstein or Kaufman or the Romantic Circle of the University of Maryland. I am glad I know now that Shelley reacted with emotion, intellect and creativity to a contemporary social event, just like Brecht did in 1947 with writing his version of Shelley’s structure filling it with the German situation of 1947. Then, in the 1990s+, appeared the children of Benjamin, Adorno and what today counts as literature (namely about literature about literature etc. etc.), and they made street theatre out of Brecht’s Anachronistischem Zug, thus showing how bad things were in Germany in 1947. And that’s the last revolutionary literary word written here about here.
55 years ago I filled a big bag with books I thought I no longer needed and tried to sell them to an antiquarian. Well, ok, I was allowed to take out one of his books in return, and it was Shelley, in the Canterbury Poets’ series, bound in leather. My English was not good enough for “Adonais”, but I understood and liked “Feelings of a Republican on the Fall of Bonaparte”, and later I found a parallel in Lermontov’s “Poslednee novosel’e”… responses to politics as they happen, unwanted by today’s standards, nd no more seen as examples to follow, but only as stuff for endless well-paid grinding of theories about theories.. A certain lady from Germany had a cat named “Shelley”, that was the only time I found him mentioned.
Then, in the early 90s, I had a correspondence with an american gentleman who worked in England and later in North Africa. He recommended namely to me reading a science fiction novel in two volumes with the title of “Hyperion” and as content the story of a universe wide conflict with the potential of everybody destroying themselves. The antidote to this menace and solution for the problems of universal self-destruction was, according to this work’s author, the soul of a certain deceased person, which had been harvested somehow and was kept in a certain spaceship somewhere out there. This soul with the potential to save us all was that of P.B. Shelley. And I had been chosen to pick up this message, probably for being able to tell others about it, which I do now for the first time. I wondered why namely I was chosen and about my correspondence partner. I tested a certain theory about his possible affiliation/s, and the test was positive. Later, the internet affirmed: yes he worked or had worked for the CIA, so that his recommendation may have been that of the company. What does this tell us? I don’t know, Kaufman did not mention this factor, probably because the CIA had not been already mentioned by Benjamin and Adorno.
For anyone interested (which I doubt, somewhat) here is a bit of filling (one person’s take) for the gap mentioned above by Anonymous:

Excerpt> “We distinguish [see] today yellow jackets of [as] thugs. This has no reality. To the extent that the ruling class refuses to change the paradigm of society, it forces it to violence. What we have seen for the moment is [minor] not much, vandalism and looting, some killings without the will to kill. However, the entire ruling class refuses to address the issue of financial globalization. In doing so, it pushes society towards violence on a very large scale. Do not think that what happens abroad can not happen in France.”
Well worth a consideration…
Yes, a very good interview with Meyssan, but I still think his fondness for the Donald inexplicable. He does make a good point here:
‘This is why the Yellow Vests movement will take the time it will take to deconstruct the mistakes that have been made since the end of the USSR. We are entering a revolutionary period of at least a decade.’
At least.
The forthcoming publications he mentions will be worth following, regardless, and I will have to buy a book as he seems to be stymied for other means of funding himself. The shape of things to come, I fear.

@ one minion > Funny, I just happened to re-read Frankenstein… And yes, she may have been suggesting a caution. I agree.
My previous description of the conservation of wolfishness is a disagreeable esthetic, ugly, provable, and absolutely non PC. Of course this is a matter not to be recognized. It’s a terrible reality to see. But real as sunrise. I find it very disquieting, but inescapable.
Because of the latency period length and the hybrid character of humans, individual variation tends to produce an obscuring of this principle. Nevertheless deliberate great expense as well as both genetic and epigenetic forces do conserve cold cunning and greed in the so-called “elite”. No different than dogs, simply a longer latency and a lower efficiency because most of the work in dogs has already been done. In humans, the curation and conservation often produce failures, these are eliminated by the wealthy clans and clubs from operations so far as can be done. I said hybrid referring to humans, yes, in reality we consist of a hybrid population of chimpanzees formed by a heterogeneous mixing of perhaps 22 now subsumed and therefore extinct chimp species…the boffins say they see evidence of 22, according to my memory – anyway hybrid variation is a large factor that is less in dogs than humans.
Quite probably it is such a disagreeable reality that agreement here that it even exists is probably unrealizable.

They ‘interview’ two ‘soldier defectors’ (they would be called deserters anywhere else, assuming they were real) who demand arms from US as ‘evidence’ of ‘popular uprising’ against Maduro… I mean, wth?
Just how jaw – droppingly stupid is this ‘report’, whatever you think of Maduro?

The Canadian regime under ‘boy’ junior Trudeau appears suffering from the same mental illness that Its US counterpart has succumbed to.
This article trots out ad nauseam the usual jibberish that we have all heard before. Its mention of the ‘rules based international order’ a sly, deceptive corruption of ‘international law’ (which it most certainly isn’t) condemns it as a hegemon alphabet agency mouthpiece.
The usual rogues gallery is present e.g. -Bandera girl and criminal Browder.
What I am confused about is this line: “The petition also details allegations of Putin’s abetment in the bombing of civilians in Crimea..”
Say what? Did I miss something?
https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/government-rejects-request-to-label-putin-a-war-criminal-1.4275306
Trudeau is a lapdog for US policies. Putin would Never sanction any bombing of Crimea. Just another deep state attempt at tarnishing Putin: harrassment.
Bezan is a Ukrainian/Canadian and an MP: The Ukrainians in Canada still think of the Soviet Union days and WW II; that`s why they are conservative: they have their heads on backwards like all conservatives,but Trudeau wants that Ukrainiane vote,same as Harper did.
But what ‘bombing of Crimea” allegedly took place?? When? Where? What are they talking about???
There was some teenage suicide nutcase who shot and killed 19 at a Kerch college and also set off a homemade nail bomb but I hardly think that could in any way be attributed to Putin.
Trudeau is a little spineless shrimp, but, boy, I was happy to see that scum Harper gone …
Happiness, we are all in it together!
I’d initially have agreed with you but junior is not much different, grovelling to Israel and the USA. His is just a hugs and smiles LGBTQIA veneer on top of the loathsome Harper regime.
Where was this “bombing of Crimea” that allegedly is Putin’s fault as he apparently encouraged it???
Friend,
We are certainly not seeing the best and the brightest are we? It’s unclear to me whether that is good or bad in the longterm. Maybe it is neither and therefore irrelevant.
It seems the CTV rag can’t tell the difference between Syria and Crimea -they sound alike don’t they?
I suspect Austria and Australia might be far too much for them, let alone Moldova and Monrovia.
https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-1757
So the russophobe petitioners might be brighter than CTV – but not by much.
“Bombing Krim”? oh, sure! >65 years ago we were taught in USA public schools about the nazi (pioneered in Imperial Histories of UK, Rome, and USA and adopted by German nazis) – about the nazi technique of the Big Lie…one of the several examples they used was that of the “Überfall auf den Sender Gleiwitz”.
Nazi method feeds on the meat of conflict. As Solzhenitsyn pointed out, when the lie is the method violence follows… a perverse form of Hegelian dialectic is curated by nazis (aka Dima’s ultraliberals) to create the chaos of war, war creates the meat which feeds the nazi evil.
Antony Sutton saw this decades ago, and quit the fascist Hoover Institute over the morality, the lack of morality, involved. see> https://duckduckgo.com/?q=antony+sutton&t=ffab&ia=web There are several videos on this @ you tube. A. Sutton discussing Skull & Bones in the context of Hegelian Dialectic gone nuts.
If I were superstitious I’d simply say that the Devil has a nazi army…idiot nazi servants, like Trumper/Bolter/Pomper & Co.

Two rather fun period piece films, “Sapphire” and “April Fools” stand (on YT) as example of insinuating agencies implanting seeds of consent for ultraliberalism and the curation of conflict by means of the destruction of marriage and family. Very fun flicks…they had to be. But seen now, they have an entirely different effect…look and see…

I’m talkin’ ’bout Judaism at the Zionist Level…I’m talkin’ about the Moloch stuff…the hard core…I’m talkin’ about Matza Balls with Christian blood in them.”

A bit rushed so I can’t be sure about the Virginia Legislature’s latest..
But not surprised in the least at what is proposed. Saw all this coming 30-35 years ago. When Bill was maybe 5 years old..
You sort of proclaim your comments and the hell with it if anyone answers you, right? I get it. Very good. Sadly, not a great conversation.
I remember when we used to trade drinks and ideas in this space but that was years ago.
I don’t even want to argue with you about anything… I know we will disagree… I just don’t want to be talking past each other.
See above. Also, I came back here after six months away because you asked about me, probably in some Q post of intricate detail… I don’t think you even remember? Hmmm…
Anyways .. what about those matzo balls? But Trumpie and Co on Venezuela? Not a word. Strange that!
I have a sense we do not know who the Shadow Government is. We gotto start knowing that. We cannot fight ‘the devil’ in matzo balls. Things are a little more clear in these days.
Anyways, in the larger context, today is a day to watch Venezuela. There are both pro and con marches planned, probably on the go in an hour or so. My heart fell in my shoes when I realized that. An amazing opportunity to shoot both sides of the march, and the blame game will begin. I hope I am very wrong.

P.S.
There is no subtlety in Vodka. You just get drunk. The social part if you drink with Russians is ok. You get drunk, have a nice time, they get even more drunk, and disappear into whatever “wilderness” Russians do when they are drunk, and your’e alone as usual.
I prefer other stuff. Those of you that have been here for a while knows what that is.

Thanks Ioan for much needed “medicine”.. Amarynth, I just noticed that POTUS has nominated the (zionist) Halliburton boy to be… wait for it.. secretary of interior! Strangely, Q is silent on this and many other important matters. Also, there hasn’t been a recent promotional film. Perhaps “afterschool special ’82” has found better things to do? They’ve done a hell of a job on z’hedge in the comments section. You’d scarcely recognize it now. Mission accomplished?

“We need it”: Schröder reminded Europe of the important role of Russia
2019-02-01
Berlin, February 1st. Europe needs to maintain cooperation with Russia in order to withstand the
United States and China. This was stated by former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder.
According to him, the policy of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin is aimed at
building equal and mutually beneficial relations with the countries of the West. Schroeder stressed
that Putin has repeatedly called on Western politicians to cooperate, but each time they rejected his
proposals. The ex-Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany noted that at present the Euro-
pean Union has a chance to become a bridge between Russia and the West, but this requires
changes in the foreign policy of Western countries and Russia.
“If we, as Europeans, want to stand politically and economically between the US superpowers and
China, we cannot do this without the potential of Russia. We need a market and, above all, resourc-
es of this country, ”said Schröder in an interview with the German newspaper Spiegel.
He also added that Russia has enough internal problems, but this does not give Western countries the
right to use them to attack the Russian Federation.

Crosstalk today also seemed to expect the affair to involve military force.
So do I.
What Bolton says in transcript is worth considering, and more significantly, the implied assumptions that can be deduced from his fairytale speech.
The guy’s a whackjob, barking crazy. And if he’s nuts now, how’s he going to act when the Imperial Forces are handed a defeat…that can happen.

This answer to the question ‘Why Don’t South Koreans Speak English’? over at Quora really made me smile :
Language acquisition influences and modifies the way people think.
When Japan occupied Korea, they mandated Koreans to speak Japanese as a form of cultural take-over– forcing us to become culturally Japanese.
We resisted Japanese occupation.
The result: Korea now belongs to Korea, speaking Korean–not Japanese.
Koreans, therefore, unconsciously resist fluent English acquisition knowing it’s Globalist colonization of the Korean soul.
Koreans instinctively know if the Globalists get us talking fluent English– we will become Social Justice Warriors adopting their worldview and labeling each other as “racist, hater, misogynist, Islamo-phobe, homophobe, Nazi, etc.”
Koreans know this weaponized Neo-Marxist mindset leads to national demoralization and inevitable civil war (such as is taking place in America)– no thank you!
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.
In other words, Yankees got us Koreans acting and dressing like them (hunched- over cellphones wearing business suits, ties, and spit-shined shoes compelled to work 8-10 hours a day in corporate cubicles) but they can’t make us talk like them.
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Teach us all the English you want!
You can’t make us learn!”

I try never to advocate save for Peace and tolerance. Why? Because violence has unintended bad secondary (and often primary) effect. How do I know? I remember.
Because I remember I may make fair general (and sometime specific) predictions.
If cops shoot at people, at crowds of the Polis, the sans-culottes, if they do this under direction, then the directing agency desires reciprocal violence.
This means Macron & his control agent desires the crowd to shoot at the cops.
If they do not, then some “special agents” will – as at Kiev, so also in Paris. Mr Macron is attempting to curate such violence as to (he hopes) create consent and circumstance for a civil war in France…
This may “benefit” a few, but he’s (perhaps unwittingly) placing his future in the hands of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice. The rank but powerful foolish amateurs running him have zero loyalty…he may become a pharmacos in an instant…and ought to remember le guillotine…
Found on another thread, an informative article on Venezuela and a more comprehensive round-up of the various internal forces in play that Maduro has to contend with before the country can realistically make any progress.
By chance, I met some very elegant and gracious Venezuelan ladies in 2014. Several had recently fled to Miami and on to London to visit an old diplomat who was dying there (they were elite ladies). I was reading a memoir of Stan Goff on his time as an Imperial soldier in Haiti and one lady, seeing this, explained the current position in Venezuela to me as I explained what my book was about. She was very pleasant and friendly and gave me a book about New Age spirituality to read after the Goff book. I did read it, having time on my hands, but it was not really my sort of thing.
From the article:
‘After this, of course, none of the “highest elves” recognised it, but since Maduro openly gave all the elves the finger… the latter invented their “president”. For the role of President they chose a “poster boy” who doesn’t represent anything and who shouted out something at a meeting with 30,000-40,000 protesters, and after this he immediately ran to the Embassy of Colombia, where he still sits to this day. This boy refuses any contact with the authorities’

It’s all about the money: US defense of democracy is a pretext for seizing control of resources
https://www.rt.com/op-ed/450065-venezuela-us-control-resources/
I see these repeated same tactics are becoming known and now can be recognised.
The Soviet Union was crushed by similar tactics … interference with supply and demand (via two stupid laws issued by Gorbachev) and paid shit-stirrers creating civil unrest. The Soviet system was becoming a threat to the Western World. Venezuelan’s have in the past been able to purchase gasoline for one cent per litre. I need 60 litres per tank fill which costs me one hundred Australian dollars, and expect the Venezuelan gasoline price to soar if their socialist system is defeated.
Can any westerner imagine paying less than one dollar to fill their empty gas tank ! ?
Also, I would like Russians to be asked of which system they were better off, so please let me know of any results.

Dr Wolff, economics professor, on the Venezuelan gold that the Bank of England is refusing to release and what that will do to the reputation and business prospects of the City of London. The financial sector is all that is currently keeping Britain afloat as a going concern.
As far as I understand, the Bank of England (headed by a Canadian, Carney) is independent now of the government, so that pressure is likely coming from elsewhere, BIS? Not that the government would do any different if it were in the position of influence, of course:

But they are also flaming red.

Yo se de un pesar profundo I know of a profound weight
Entre las penas y nombres: Among the pains and names.
La esclavitud de los hombres The slavery of mankind
Es la gran pena del mundo. Is the Great Penalty of the world
Now, for Bolivarian Solidarity the Cuban guy singing from Barcelona at 4 min 19 sec:
No me pongas en un Oscuro Don’t put me in a dark place
A morir como un traidor. To die like a traitor.
No, te digo, no me pongas No, I tell you, never put me
No me pongas en el oscuro Don’t put me in the Darkness
Yo soy vivo como muevo I’m alive like I am moving
A vivir y morir para mi corazon. To live and die by my own heart
Asi vivo yo! That’s how I live!
