John Pilger on the Assange arrest:
‘Real journalism is the enemy of these disgraces. A decade ago, the Ministry of Defence in London produced a secret document which described the “principal threats” to public order as threefold: terrorists, Russian spies and investigative journalists. The latter was designated the major threat.
The document was duly leaked to WikiLeaks, which published it. “We had no choice,” Assange told me. “It’s very simple. People have a right to know and a right to question and challenge power. That’s true democracy.”
What if Assange and Manning and others in their wake — if there are others — are silenced and “the right to know and question and challenge” is taken away?
In the 1970s, I met Leni Reifenstahl, close friend of Adolf Hitler, whose films helped cast the Nazi spell over Germany.
She told me that the message in her films, the propaganda, was dependent not on “orders from above” but on what she called the “submissive void” of the public.
“Did this submissive void include the liberal, educated bourgeoisie?” I asked her.
“Of course,” she said, “especially the intelligentsia …. When people no longer ask serious questions, they are submissive and malleable. Anything can happen.”
And did.
The rest, she might have added, is history.

We have now officially entered new dark age where voices of truth and freedom are brutally silenced in plain daylight. I have great admiration of John Pilger’s work, and the day will come there will be no-one of his caliber to speak for us. May God help us all.

A quick update of Canadian Anglozionist activity: from the National Post for April 13th:
– on pg A12, below a half page of Brexit coverage, lies an ad for “Spirit of Hope” featuring Nikki Haley (more at http://www.spiritofhopebenefit.com) in Toronto. (Why Toronto??)
– on pg. A17, an article by Conrad Black (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrad_Black) — “A good Day for Israel – with More to Come”
Where does the Brit-Anglo end and the Zionist begin? Hard to tell in this country sometimes.

“Wow! WTF is going on here?”, asks Jimmy. “Tucker Carlson Defends Assange. Huh??”
Well, Jimmy, Revolutions do turn things upside down. I understand your righteous anger……..But it’s All Good!
If telling the truth loses you friends, …..good riddance!! And just get better ones!
That shouldn’t be all that hard to do, in these days of the world wide web.
Yes….the more you know!
“You have the site, we have the source”
… if Jesus Christ arrived tomorrow and praised the efforts of Julian Assange, what then ?
Hmmmmm! Good question….PAUL
With some confidence, my answer is:
The Romans (now the Vatican) and the Pharisee Jews (now the Zionists….not the Good Ones) of the perverted egoic mentality and dark mysticism instilled in them through the Babylonian Captivity………… Would Crucify Him Again….If They Could!
However, there may also arrive enough dawning awareness and discernment and “Awakening”….among enough human beings to avert Calvary Hill # 2
Since it is Palm Sunday………..let’s go a little deeper into that subject ……….with a Peter, PAUL and Mary song about Jesus………..and Lazarus:
Tramp on the Street https://youtu.be/R53VDssFTjw
Jesus he died on Calvary’s tree,
Nails in his hands and nails in his feet…………
Mary, she rocked him, her little baby to sleep.
But they left him to die like a tramp on the street.
Now, we’re supposed to “imitate Christ”…but most of us. to date, may be a little bit more like his friend, Lazarus:
“Only a poor man was laz’rus that day
When he lay down at the rich man’s gate.
He begged for the crumbs of the rich man to eat;
He was only a tramp found dead on the street.
He was some mother’s darlin’, he was some mother’s son;
Once he was fair, and once he was young.
Some mother rocked him, her little baby, to sleep;
But they left him to die like a tramp on the street.”
But the story goes that Jesus “awakened” him:
https://newtheologicalmovement.blogspot.com/2011/04/lazarus-resuscitation-compared-to-jesus.html
I think I remember another song about Lazarus……….
Bro, my idea in the question is to question Christian values and it becomes apparent we are governed by non-Christians … puts a sour taste to the concept of “humanity”.
The disgust and negative impact on our human values are yet again affected and altered … this is deeper and wider than press freedom and is an outright attack on Christianity, as one major aspect.
I see the clergy are very quiet, as usual …
those who call for peace every Christmas are also very quiet, as usual …
their combined silence is deafening.
You think Pakistan should be run by Christians, Mike Pence?
The Cat
well, I sleep all day
and I roam all night,
stalking creatures
wandering astray,
my reflexes rare
I bring to bear,
they don’t feel a thing
it’s best that way
when dawn rolls around
I’m just about done,
let those that survive
freely tread,
it’s then I go back
to my dish that’s full,
with a yawn and a stretch
I’m off to bed
I live with a human
he’s trained quite well,
I’m always surprised –
such intelligence!
at the end of the day
what matters most is
he understands
my preeminence
queens have I many
friends they are few;
this street-wise Romeo
doesn’t care too much,
patrolling my borders
expanding to new –
I’ll maintain my ground
while I’m in touch
that which I see
I surely will get
taking position
the ball’s in mid-bounce,
that battle is fought
most of each day
old habits die hard
waiting to pounce
a bundle and a half
of contradictions it’s true;
a master hunter
and ‘man of great clout’,
a cold-blooded killer
ruled by instinct,
a soft cuddly toy
friend throughout
well I sleep all day
and rove all night,
stalking creatures that
wander my way,
my reflexes rare
I bring to bear…
they won’t feel a thing
it’s best that way
Brilliant!
Applies 100% to my cat.
Thanks Oscar. We cat people know what we mean…
that battle is fought
most of each day,
old habits die hard
waiting to pounce,
that which I see
is that which I get,
to know what I want
is all that counts
You might like this very old poem about a monks’ cat.
It was found inscribed on the edges of a very old Irish manuscript, but now located in Italy.
It was written by an unknown monk – although I feel I know him very well :-)
I and Pangur Ban my cat,
‘Tis a like task we are at:
Hunting mice is his delight,
Hunting words I sit all night.
Better far than praise of men
‘Tis to sit with book and pen;
Pangur bears me no ill-will,
He too plies his simple skill.
‘Tis a merry task to see
At our tasks how glad are we,
When at home we sit and find
Entertainment to our mind.
Oftentimes a mouse will stray
In the hero Pangur’s way;
Oftentimes my keen thought set
Takes a meaning in its net.
‘Gainst the wall he sets his eye
Full and fierce and sharp and sly;
‘Gainst the wall of knowledge I
All my little wisdom try.
When a mouse darts from its den,
O how glad is Pangur then!
O what gladness do I prove
When I solve the doubts I love!
So in peace our task we ply,
Pangur Ban, my cat, and I;
In our arts we find our bliss,
I have mine and he has his.
Practice every day has made
Pangur perfect in his trade;
I get wisdom day and night
Turning darkness into light”
“ban” means white. He is “white Pangur”.
What a wonderful poem and story, I’ll definitely keep this one. Thanks so much for sharing, Pamela. PS, He does make you feel you know him!
One wonder what impact this will have on the OBOR initiative. It seems like Khazakstan is no longer interested in participating. The Khazak people are driving out the Russian speaking businesses needed to make it work.

New York’s Yemeni bodegas called to boycott NY Post as row over Ilhan Omar’s 9/11 comment heats up
https://www.rt.com/usa/456439-new-york-post-omar-boycott/
“The Rupert Murdoch-owned daily has drawn the ire of the Yemeni Americans after it clearly accused Omar of downplaying the grave human cost of the 9/11 attacks.
But while New York Post apparently took chances to capitalize on the hype, it might yet prove costly for the paper. Accusing it of “undermining national unity” as well as “spreading violence and hate in the community,” the Yemeni American Merchants Association announced a boycott on the sale and purchase of the daily.
Yemeni American Merchants have declared a boycott of the racist NY Post! Starting tomorrow morning Yemeni American merchants will be rejecting the sale of the NY Post! NY Post take your papers back! #BoycottNYPostpic.twitter.com/TE5uP7qFjU
— RABYAAH ALTHAIBANI (@rabyaahahmed) April 13, 2019
“This rhetoric threatens the safety and wellbeing of Omar, Muslim leaders, and the larger Muslim American community at a time when Islamophobia is at an all-time high,” the association said in an open letter
The group represents Yemeni Americans, who own and run between 4,000 and 5,000 of New York City’s delis and corner stores – a sizeable portion of the total number of shops commonly known as bodegas. The boycott has no “end date”, Ayyad Algabyali, the group’s director of advocacy, told the media.
The move immediately got traction on Twitter. But unlike the reaction to Trump’s tweet, this time the social media was much more unified in its condemnation of the paper. The Yemeni community rallied to the association’s call, and the outside supporters have even calling on the paper to be “put out of business” altogether.”
Put out of business is what the zionazi-gay media needs to have done to it, at a bare minimum. Ideally, the owners and staff of these despicable rags should be thoroughly investigated and prosecuted for war crimes.
YAMA should also boycott RT after the recent shipment of TOS-1A to Saudi.
Taliban Claims It Shot Down US B-52 Bomber in Afghanistan – Reports
https://sputniknews.com/asia/201904101073997340-taliban-shoots-down-us-bomber-report/
“Taliban* militants have claimed they shot down a US B-52 heavy bomber, Syrian news site Muraselon reports.
The incident purportedly took place when the aircraft was departing from the Shawrab Airbase in southern Afghanistan in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
“Mujaheddin (a militia fighter) of the Islamic Emirate targeted a US B-52 bomber with heavy weapons today early morning in Lar area in the Washir district of Helmand Province,” a spokesman for the Taliban was quoted as saying.
The B-52 is said to have crashed after the strike, killing all of its crew. Both Afghan and US authorities are yet to comment on the matter.”
Taliban Claims It Fired Deadly Missile at Largest US Air Base in Afghanistan
https://sputniknews.com/asia/201904111074023557-taliban-missile-us-airbase-afghanistan/
“The alleged development follows reports that the Taliban brought down a US B-52 heavy bomber as the warplane was ostensibly departing from the Shawrab Airbase in southern Afghanistan on Wednesday morning.
The Taliban* launched a missile at Bagram Air Base, the largest US base in Afghanistan, on Thursday morning, according to a message tweeted by the terrorist group’s spokesman.
While he claims that the attack has inflicted damage on the airfield and caused human losses, the United States has yet to confirm or deny the information.
The purported incident comes only a day after Syrian news outlet Muraselon reported that Taliban militants claimed they had shot down a US B-52 heavy bomber.
“Mujaheddin (a militia fighter) of the Islamic Emirate targeted a US B-52 bomber with heavy weapons today early morning in Lar area in the Washir district of Helmand Province”, a spokesman for the Taliban was quoted as saying.”
US bars BDS co-founder from boarding DC-bound plane in Israel, despite valid travel papers
https://www.rt.com/news/456300-bds-founder-banned-us-israel/
“The co-founder of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement has been denied entry to the US, where he had a speaking tour scheduled, despite having valid travel documents. This was done in Tel Aviv on US, not Israeli, orders.
Airline staff at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport informed Omar Barghouti on Wednesday as he prepared to board his flight to Washington that the US consulate had been ordered by US immigration authorities not to allow him to travel, even though he has a US visa valid through January 2021.
Barghouti was given no explanation for the US’ decision to bar him from the country beyond an “immigration matter,” according to the Arab American Institute, which had invited the activist to Washington, DC for a series of speaking engagements and classes. He had also scheduled events at Harvard University and New York University, meetings with “leading policy makers, thought-leaders and journalists,” and – before heading home – his daughter’s wedding.
While Barghouti, who is a Palestinian and has permanent residency status in Israel, has had problems traveling in the past, Israeli authorities were always responsible, most recently in February when they refused to renew his travel documents until Amnesty International interceded with a demand that the country “end the arbitrary travel ban on human rights defender Omar Barghouti.”
“It is clear this arbitrary political decision is motivated by this administration’s effort to silence Palestinian voices,” AAI President James Zogby said of the US’ move. “At a time when some members of Congress are advocating for regressive anti-BDS bills and resolutions, when states have passed legislation targeting the non-violent boycott movement in violation of our protected First Amendment rights, it is disturbing that policy makers and the American people will not have the opportunity to hear from Omar directly.”
More than half of US states have passed laws to economically sanction or otherwise penalize companies or individuals that boycott Israel, and federal legislation targeting BDS has even included attempts to criminalize such boycotts – a measure opponents slammed as profoundly unconstitutional as it failed to pass last year.
The BDS movement launched in 2005 as a nonviolent protest against Israel’s construction of illegal settlements in the West Bank, as well as its military occupation of the territory and other acts of violence and oppression against the Palestinians. Likening the Jewish state to apartheid South Africa, it uses many of the same tactics activists used to pressure that country into dropping its racist policies.”
Co-Founder of BDS Movement Denied US Entry Despite Valid Travel Documents
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201904111074051329-omar-barghouti-bds-movement-co-founder-denied-us-entry/
“In a Thursday statement, Barghouti said that the US entry ban was “ideologically and politically motivated,” and that it was part of “Israel’s escalating repression against Palestinian, Israeli and international human rights defenders in the BDS movement for freedom, justice and equality.”
“Israel is not merely continuing its decades-old system of military occupation, apartheid and ethnic cleansing; it is increasingly outsourcing its outrageous, McCarthyite repression to the US and to xenophobic, far-right cohorts across the world,” he said.
“Supporters of Israeli apartheid in the US are desperately trying to deny US lawmakers, media, diverse audiences at universities, a bookstore and a synagogue, their right to listen, first-hand, to a Palestinian human rights advocate calling for ending US complicity in Israel’s crimes against our people. But all my talks will go ahead, with me speaking online.”
And so he did. For the first event, a “candid conversation” with CNN contributor Peter Beinart, Barghouti participated in the discussion through video conferencing.
James Zogby, the president of AAI, said in a statement that Barghouti’s denial of entry is “motivated by [the Trump] administration’s effort to silence Palestinian voices.”
“At a time when some members of Congress are advocating for regressive anti-BDS bills and resolutions, when states have passed legislation targeting the non-violent boycott movement in violation of our protected First Amendment rights, it is disturbing that policy makers and the American people will not have the opportunity to hear from Omar directly about his views,” he added.”
Quite clear the israeli jewnazis ordered their quisling trump traitors to do this, just like they order the rest of their pindo colonials to outlaw criticism of zionazism.
What we are looking at here is not so much the tail wagging the dog, but instead, the substance that exits dog from directly under its tail totally controlling the dog in every aspect of its behaviour.
Zakharova has a detailed post about France not permitting RT and Sputniknews journalists to French state presentations even though their credentials are sound…..says it will take assymetric actions…..Poland has banned a Russian sail training ship from its waters…..
“ICC rejects request to investigate war crimes in Afghanistan”
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/world-asia-47912140
Why dont this discredited joke and sad travesty of an institution just rename itself the ICCA – The International Criminal Court of Africa?
Because arent Africans the only ones that ever end up in its docks?
With all the countless atrocities perpetrated by Israel and the US and countries close to them, this body is seemingly fixated on bringing only African “warlords” to “justice”.
Their decision to shamefully cave in to US bullying and drop their investigation into crimes commited by the US and its allies in Afghanistan’ should be the final nail in the coffin of this discredited fraud of an institution.
All countries, especially African countries should withdraw from the Treaty of Rome that gave birth to it.
If they are unwilling or unable to prosecute real war criminals like: George W Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Tony Blair and the blood-soaked murderers in Israel et al, then they should close down and beat it!
I expect they will now be clamouring to have Sudan’s Omar al Bashar appear before them.
Sudan should really tell them to just f#*@#off!
Selah
The Thanatopians thought it funny, and doubly insulting, to appoint a treacherous House Negress, Aunty Tom, Bensouda, to oversee the ICC ignoring US and Israeli crimes, while continuing the persecution of the Empire’s victims. A truly vile (several expletives deleted) typical of Uncle Satan’s global network of Quislings.
The header photo of today’s Cafe is one of the best, a beautiful composition, everything its at its place, a piece of art !
Yesterday my internal warning bell went off … time for some other activities, activities that feed the soul and the belly. My alarm or warning bell usually is a silent one. I just kinda find myself in the kitchen, cooking. Cooking everything in sight . no rhyme or reason, just cooking and baking whatever there is to cook or bake – either to freeze for later, or to make something that is put together in the way that it wants to come together – where the ingredients speak in some strange and silent way and tells me what it wants to be.
So, I have a pot of dried beans simmering now being done in the way that my Latin American friends taught me. Never ever put salt in the cooking water. Always soak the beans for at least 12, but preferably 24 hours. Rinse those beans at least 5 times with fresh water and freshen the soaking water. Then it is cooking time .. put in the pot, cover with water, put in selected herbs or a bouquet garni or a whole quartered onion, bring to the boil and then simmer. Add water (or vegetable stock) as necessary and once it gets to almost done stage, let the water simmer down to end up with only some juice. The almost done stage is when a bean can be easily crushed in your fingers, which is when you add salt and cook down the water a little. You don’t want to end up with a pot of water, but just enough to use if you’re planning to make a bean dip. So, this method ends up in a pot full of real savory tasty beans. These are going to be used for 3 things .. some will be frozen for some simple rice and beans sometime in the future .. some will be used for a bean dip, and if I’m energetic, even a 7-layer bean dip and some will be used for a classic chili.
So, most of us know the children’s rhyme about dried beans:
Beans, beans a wonderful fruit,
The more you eat, the more you toot,
The more you toot the better you feel,
So, eat some beans for every meal.
These are the secrets to avoid the tootin’ factor. You need fresh dried beans, preferably this season’s beans that were dried this season. Then, you have to soak at least 12 hours and you have to rinse and change the soaking water regularly. This also removes any toxins from the skins. And then, do not salt before the bean can be crushed in your fingers. I’m not usually fussed at which type of beans I buy excepting when I’m making something really special and need a white bean or a specific type. The criterion for me, is the freshness of the dried beans.
Also in the pot is some pork short ribs that were patted with a dry rub of herbs and spices, and these are cooking up pot roast style. It is a slow cooking style, but with a little stock on the side to add just a bit, when the cooking juices get too little. This cooking method takes time and continual attention. If you try this, don’t get scared if you’re a little late to the pot and it starts frying a bit too much (which is what just happened to my pot – actually a high sided pan) .. Just take the stock, deglaze your pot and continue on cooking. A little flair at almost the end of cooking, is something sweet to add to the cooking juices. This time I’ll use a spoonful of apricot jam.
Next a cheesecake – but not a normal cheesecake – a baked one, half of it is cheesecake and the top half is a cream mix that also firms up like the cheesecake. So, this one will be baked, the cheesecake portion first, then cooled a good 12 hours, then the cream mixture on top and baked again for the cream mixture to firm up. Its like a Montana Mom’s Dynamite Cheesecake if you want to go and look for the method and recipe for this delicious delightful bit of soul and belly food. This one will be cut into serving slices and very carefully packed to freeze – and when we want some, a few slices can just defrost on the table or counter top. Of course you can cook up a quick strawberry sauce or something like that for serving – with whatever fruit is on hand.
Of course I have no idea what is for lunch or dinner but sure, the cooking muse will whisper in my ears and let me know.
I need to get some tomato sauce and tomato paste going and we’re short of hot sauce. We don’t buy bottles and jars of stuff in our household. Everything gets made from scratch, but not usually on a Sunday. My long-suffering husband, having lived through years of my cooking emotional cool-offs, will be happy to go and buy a case of ripest tomatoes he can find at the local market and a few spices that are a little too little. I think this is going to be a week of fill up the freezer, make some peanut butter and I should check if there is any Tahini left, as we have last year’s small organic sesame seed harvest on hand to use.
I hope you enjoyed my cooking adventures as a bit of relaxation. Tomorrow we will take up the Julian Assange fight, Venezuela and a host of other burning issues while leaving some space in the days to come for completion of the cooking marathon. It is not all indulgence. I find myself with grateful prayers that I am not in some war or destabilized zone somewhere, that I have all the helpful goodies in my kitchen that my heart desires and that I can peacefully cook, bake and make.
Indeed, it would be good not to be cooked by a TOS-1A in the mountains around Hodeidah.
Yum! thank you for the mental fuel . I can smell the beans cooking now and my mouth waters for cheesecake lovingly and patiently prepared.
Frijoles a la Olla, one of the joys of life, a Mesoamerican masterpiece.
Did you know that there are theories in Mexico that the method of making a pot of beans might have also been a pre-Columbian distillation method, and Mescal/Bacanora/Tequila might be one of the oldest kinds of hard booze? They’ve found these strange pots and little cups that might have been used as stills.
I always slice an onion in half, and throw it in there. The only way to do it is a long, slow, boil, five hours or more, an antidote for the stress of the modern age. 24 hour soak, then rinse for sure — what’s the rush? Just like with lentils, all that stuff that rinses off… your GI will thank you. And Epazote. Chop up a capsicum, herbs from the garden like oregano/bay leaf added depending on what mood you’re in.

A Cafe Moveable Unmovable!!
Hello! That’s me drinking in and thinking up
at the Cafe in the World’s Heart!
Earth Elder’s work has its early start
at the town square with coffee cup!
Bitter news and tortuous fight ahead
with moxie not dread we face instead
Because of others clear and dear
together gathering, sharing here
A view of Assange as a person as well as a cause celebre:
It has come to my attention that Julian Assange as a child was trapped in a cult called The Family which was characterized by ridged control and sexual boundary transgressions. Most tellingly, many fervent supporters were the rich and powerfully connected so- called “good” people of Australian society. Just why a single mother with little social support or possibilities falls prey to such clever ghouls is another question entirely. Many people have such a desperate search for family and meaning these days that I hesitate to speculate on Julian’s mother”s psychology. It is enough that she is fervently and ferociously fighting for him now.
I can understand exactly why Julian Assange will never, ever cease his truth telling until his last breath against the abusers of the world and their silent and not so silent accomplices. He is a brilliant, difficult and probably barely socialized individual and so he must be to accomplish his very difficult task of world service.
It is very important that he know that he has support even if he is locked in some dark closet alone. Maybe we are abused also by the powerful in many ways but we will not stand silent while he is being brutalized flagrantly, illegally and verbally as well as physically. Know that they are torturing him right now and will continue to do so until we insist that they stop. Transparency now! (No, I am not starting rumors or surrendering to fear. I recognize the Beast, the type of people who work for It and how they operate)
An international letter writing campaign must begin….Does anyone know if this is happening? or What the most effective addresses might be to post my outrage ? I refuse to be diverted by silly cat stories,despicable humor, or continual lies by the CIA-World Media. Kudos to RT by the way for relentless dedication to the story!
We are all Julian Assange!!
There are a number of petitions online at the usual places. I am happy to sign but don’t think petitions have any clout anymore. There are also numerous support groups, some dating from 2010, which are being reactivated. All are likely to have an online presence, if only on twitter. I favour face-to-face as being most effective so would look locally at existing human rights (secular and church oriented) groups who would also organise for Assange and Manning.
Amnesty would normally have a letter writing campaign going for political prisoners but the US branch at least has lately been co-opted and is a sham, so I’d be wary of the big orgs.
“We are all Julian Assange!!”
Not this particular anti GOP (one of the two war party’s) supporter. Assange’s genuflection to GOP was insidious.
Whether you like and approve him as a person is immaterial at this point. If it can happen to him, it can happen to you, arrest and forcible rendition on bogus and trumped up charges.
So despite your limited view, you too are Julian Assange now, along with the rest of us, no matter how much you protest or believe yourself protected.
There is a good film on surveilled life in the DDR before the wall came down, ‘The Lives Of Others’ (Das Leben Der Anderen) 2006. Control techniques have moved on a bit in the 30 years since.
Welcome to the world.
One Monion, I agree with you, and apparently, so does George Galloway:
“You don’t have to like him, you don’t have to like everything he’s ever written or published, but if you like the fact that we have the right to speak and know the uncomfortable truths our rulers don’t want us to know, then you should be here in person, or, at least, in spirit,” Galloway said.
He said this is exactly the type of situation in which one must take sides, and either stand with the “executioners” or oppose them.
“If Julian Assange is criminalized and incarcerated for revealing the truth about what our rulers are doing, have done, then you might as well deliver yourself behind those walls, you might as well volunteer for a prison cell yourself, because you’ll no longer be free, and you’ll never be free again,” the former lawmaker said.
“If it can happen to him, it can happen to you”
You had previously said that you do not wish for my conversation.
Anyway, have you any proof that Assange has actually been holed up in the embassy (rather than living it up with a bevy of blondes in some remote paradise)?
I have every confidence that we (mostly) are unprotected.
No, no proof—but then neither have you any proof of your assertion, so its a timewasting and nonsense riposte from you. As is your complaint regarding my conversing with you. Differentiate which Anon you are and I will happily avoid responding to you, otherwise it is a lucky dip and you will have to take it on the chin.
“so its a timewasting and nonsense riposte from you”
Without the proof, ditto.
There is ‘no proof’ either that he was not living on the far side of the moon, but the probability that he was is infinitesimally small.
Assange made NO ‘genuflection’ to the Republicans-that is Clintonite disinformation.
The Family, or ‘Children of God’ as they originally called themselves, was actually started in the US in the 70’s during the Jesus-freak craze and still exists, though much reduced today. The founder, David Berg or ‘Mo’ (now dead, thank the gods) was the usual narcissist and psychopath who sees a way to fulfil his own needs by being a parasite on the hopes and dreams of other, more gullible, types.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Family_International
There are a lot of online testimonies from escapees from this cult, attesting to the inhuman and barbaric control exerted over those ensnared by Mo, a charismatic psychopath.
My understanding is that Assange’s mother became romantically involved with a devotee of Berg, who proved violent and controlling (no surprises there, look what he took as his exemplar) so mother and son went on the run for several years to escape him.
It was clearly a formative experience for Assange, and one I wouldn’t wish on anyone else.
I said I am not a “believer” in Q…just an observer.
But where ever possible when I quote Q……….I use quotation marks and end with a…….. Q”
I never saw Hawksmere comment on anything before I saw his reply to my post above about “More From Dore”.
I welcome his comment but I am going to now add ONE quotation mark and the Q to it, for the sake of Assange and Journalism….and “Accuracy in Media”………since…..LOL:
“You are the news now.
Q”
So…..Hawksmere Friend, I don’t mind if I do (And I hope you don’t mind, either!):
Yes….the more you know!
Q”,
and,
“You have the site, we have the source.
Q”
which refers to a very important distinction by Q, namely that supposedly…… now Wikileaks is compromised and now a tool of the CIA and Deep State …..whereas Julian Assange is not “property of” but rather an ally of “Q Team and The White Hats”.
Or so the Q Movie script goes.
“You are watching a MOVIE now.
Q”
Now, I watch some movies and even sort of informally “review” one or two, from time to time.
As I am sort of doing with occasional notable scenes from the Q Movie, Playing Now, In the Global Theatre, Near You….
What I find amazing, however, is the number of “expert reviewers”….that haven’t even watched ….0.001% of the “scenes from the movie” yet!!!!
Now, y’all who like their “expert reviews” will be even more pleased by a REAL expert,,,,,Sebastian Gorka,,,,,,,,who has come out with THIS……most succinct and pithy NEGATIVE review:
“Q IS GARBAGE”
Feeling better , now??
Careful!
“Deception is necessary
Q”
And we’ll get back to Gorka later.
But right now….the subject is ASSANGE (a key actor) and here is a Short Part of The Assange Arrest Scene I would like you to spend 5 seconds observing:
https://youtu.be/MKIQcDGe65o?t=111
Where Julian flashes the front of the Book by Gore Vidal, A History Of the National Security State….just before being loaded inot the police van.
Do you think that Julian might be asking us to read that book???
Should Herb add it to the Vineyard Book Club List….if it’s not there already???
“So many wonderful books to read, so little time!” LOL
Remember….or at least consider:
“You are watching a MOVIE
Q”
Ok, it DOES seem like that could be the case……………but who is producing it…..and what is their “PLAN”???
“Should Herb add it to the Vineyard Book Club List….if it’s not there already???”
Nope. Zero information – everyone knows they are being spied on. Reading about insult to injury is futile.
Bro, news for you–there is no plan except pumping up yet another bubble by any means possible as a distraction from what is really going on, the psychopathic search for control of all or ‘full spectrum dominance’. It will go on for as long as you, yourself, buy into the scam, as you all too obviously continue to do, despite your current disclaimers.
Since according to Bildeberg we are now ostensibly living in a post-truth world I’d like to semi-solipsistically offer an observation or two.
Gore:
I remember my High School American History teacher, a local celebrity, praising Vidal’s historical fiction, but being of little brain (or perhaps patriotism) it was not something I ever got into. A book mention in a previous cafe, Jasun Horsley’s The Vice of Kings mentioned some of Vidal’s publicized (sexual) antics to illustrate some point or other, but the exact point escapes me, and have since misplaced the book…
In this following clip, William F. Buckley debates Vidal, the exchange gets heated around 10:30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY_nq4tfi24
Could the genius of the American System be the choreographed pitting of fagotry versus fascism?
One Minion, News For YOU: All bubbles collapse, so if “They” (in their various non-monolithic manifestations) have No Plan…..You and Me….WE….would be at least advised to struggle to come up with one ourselves while also seeking out others that have a head start on us and have more viable ideas than we do.
Unless, that is, being a “minion” of the all-powerful Satanists is your identity…..in which case I would not be surprised to hear this constant, impotent refrain out of you. (How dreary!}
And unless the nostrum “God helps he who helps himself.” is total hogwash. LOL. I don’t think it is, BTW. So try helping yourself and others to help themselves, instead of trying to talk everyone out of even trying!
Chimmy: While I am not an enthusiastic fan of (Far too graphic language,removed MOD)
could you enlighten us as to exactly what is the point of your reply??
It is well known that Gore Vidal was homosexual. Tell me something I don’t already know!
Butt: Does that mean that:
1) Assange is also homosexual and should not be a subject of current “strategic situation” discussion, despite being an historical figure, unlike you or I?
2) That no humans of that particular erotic or amorous persuasion have ANYthing of any value whatsoever to say, on anything??? I think that that is plainly NOT the case! Much as I find their persuasion quite unappealing.
A question I am obviously pointing to is: WHY do you think Assange flashed THAT COVER of THAT BOOK and not:
1 Who is (was, now) worse, William F Buckley or Gore Vidal??
2. OR…which is more regrettable….”fascism” or “faggotry”…as you put it?
By the way, that’s one that is SO easy to answer:
Fascist Faggotry in the person of Deep State “intellectual” William F Buckley, is worse!
WFB whose brother was Skull and Bones and whose initiation into that Cult includes being sodomized by the initiator…..just to get the “pecker order” firmly established from the get-go………of young “elite” Yalie Deep State EMPIRE…careers.
However: The more important and up to date question remains: Why that book cover flashed by Julian Assange in London just a few days ago………..and no other???
Come on, people: Leave your egos and impotent prejudices out of it and THINK.
We need signal, not noise. I mean, really! What do these comments have to do with the price of amarynth’s beans???
This is not Primary School “Show and Tell Time”.
At least I hope that it isn’t.
Sorry anonymouse. No time for whiners right now:
Amarynth is cookin’ up grub for a pro-Freedom of Speech, Anti-Fascist Offensive starting Monday morning and I think Assange is a more worthy subject than any reply to your Empire Serving “Resistance Is Futile” extremely “non-revolutionary” and deflationary impotence.
She doesn’t need such flat tires in the rear echelons of logistics slowing down her offensive!
I wouldn’t think…..
Butt now HERE’s a puzzle for y’all ……………….and your brainstorming on this topic just might get the Hive MInd BTC – BCH – BSV project out of the crypto-doldrums ……”So lift up the John B sail…..See how the mainsail sets!”…and force me to return to that, Now, More Strategically Central Topic:
https://youtu.be/4FC6qKFnw8A
Thanks for the strategic squall winds, Julian!
A Theory About Julian Assange:
Namely that HE, Julian Assange ……….. is Satoshi Nakamoto!
If you love Julian, but hate crypto, hang in there!
The video leads with a Scotsman who rants and rails that he knows who SN is, and when he reveals The Real Name of the Creator of Bitcoin……”Bitcoin (but which does he mean….BTC, BCH…..or The Real Bitcoin (BSV…according to Dr Craig S Wright….who amarynth deems insane because he runs contrary to her emotions on the subject……”Emotions cloud judgment. Q” ….and has publically come out as Satoshi…..to howls and screams of “Faketoshi!” all over the crypto internet blogosphere…..) Will GO to ZERO….Overnight!
And wouldn’t THAT boost your anti-Crypto morale!
Then go further!
Assange, the linked video asserts is the same age and went to the very same school in Australia as Dr Craig S Wright ……and like him………….. developed an early interest in cryptography. And was last heard from as “Satoshi” just days before seeking refuge in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London
It’s like Christ and the Anti-Christ, huh, amarynth???

Don’t Be A Professional Spectator, Now, Ya Hear?
Bro, all bubbles collapse, full stop.
Assange is a reader, like me. As any reader will tell you, the reason he was clutching that book is because that is a book he was reading at the time and he knew he would need something to read during his sojourn in the cells.
Its real life, not a Hollywood scripted movie or LARP game. The man is going to prison where boredom is one of the greatest threats to sanity and some bored inmates easily succumb to grotesque fantasies instead of facing the harsh realities of life. He was incarcerated before, so he knows the score—-you are the one trying to make it into something its not, into some big make or break signifier to the world, a mysterious sign from beyond the veil that only you can interpret correctly. Now that is a grotesque fantasy.
Bro, greetings from the Antipodes.
Im actually thinking of growing a serious commercial crop of popcorn. Thinking this little show has the potential to blossom into something of epic proportions. Might be a handy little earner as I sit back and enjoy the spectacle. “Optics are important. Q”.
Geez Bro, I’ve never seen so much throwing shade. There is a good thing and it is that you’ve illustrated beyond a reasonable doubt the exact miring in the mud that most of that group that you so like, participate in — ’tis a movie, ’tis a book, ’tis the school, ’tis the cryptos, ’tis Satoshi Nakamoto, ’tis 4D chess, ’tis anonymouse, and Amarynth is slow cooking beans omg that must be meaningful and change your tires … and so on, ad infinitum. Anything and the kitchen sink to avoid reality and change the narrative of what is happening. ‘Tis only a movie, not to worry but don’t be spectators – in the signal to noise, I hear mostly noise.
This ‘movie’ Bro, is damn serious with damn serious consequences.
The issue is Assange and Extradition to the US – most that even vaguely understand this, are fighting hard against extradition. We’re fighting with words, with poems, with information to our own circles, with signing every petition out there, with correct information and with focus.
The petition that I like (for what it is worth) and because it has a lot Ecuadorian support, is https://www.change.org/p/free-julian-assange-before-it-s-too-late-stop-usa-extradition
They’re looking for 75,000 signatures and have over 60,000 now and will petition the Australian .gov.
There are others petitioning other so-called governments.
Bro, either your boat is still tied to the dock or you’re floundering in irons just a tad offshore. Get sailing and get out of the myriad of meaningless Q Quotes. It is clear you are struggling with what is happening.
More generally: So, the White House came out with a statement. They say that Trump’s initial statement (2016) that he likes Wikileaks, and have you seen what they’ve just come up with, clearly, was just a joke.
I kid you not – just a joke Sarah Sanders states.
“Look, clearly the president was making a joke during the 2016 campaign,”
https://www.rt.com/usa/456501-trump-love-wikileaks-assange-joke/
So somebody went to count and found he made that “joke” 141 times during his last month of campaigning.
This ‘joke’ is not funny.
The Assange Lawyer’s twitter to see what is happening on the legal side.
https://twitter.com/AssangeLegal
Detailed there is the secret agreement between the UK, the US and Ecuador as well as a very interesting legal opinion. https://twitter.com/RickPetree/status/1116704236526555136
Look, whether you like the man or not, the principle is that if this extradition goes forward, it materially affects the safety of all of the few decent journalists left and the principle of free speech for all of us.
I thought the the “semi-solipsistically” absolved me of having to make a point. But if I had to make a point, it would be that like it or not, all of us are engaged in myth construction, and this fact is baked into the options we are presented with.
Kinda like we can have dissenting voices and display them like trophies. This woman is brash wears a hijab, thinks Israel is bad, but hey Freedom of Speech, ‘Murica!
2. I thought everybody knew that Buckley was worse than Vidal.
chimmy,
I never read his books, tried ‘Myra Breckinridge’ but found it insufficiently interesting to finish, a rarity for me. His journalism though was very witty and accomplished, Vidal was a joy to read on any subject in article form. No knowledge or interest in the other guy, or his brother.
I agree about the myths, they are all we’ve got to hang onto, so they assume vital importance. The trick is in picking more rational myths to believe in that expand the concept of humanity rather than reduce it and in reducing it regressing back to the ‘nasty, brutish and short’ version of life that is never too far away, no matter what we believe.
My books of Gore’s essays are a constant delight. What a bitchy bastard he could be. The story of his riposte when being told of Truman Capote’s death-‘In his case, a clever career move’-breaks me up still.
Very symbolic book….to keep.his heart burning and knowing he has done so much to.expose so much.

Palestinian family attacked with stones as Israeli settlers storm village in West Bank (VIDEO)
https://www.rt.com/news/456481-settler-attack-urif-village/
“Human rights groups Yesh Din and B’Tselem said that around 50 Israeli settlers from Yitzhar in the West Bank entered the neighboring Palestinian village of Urif on Saturday, smashing windows of cars and hurling stones at houses.
Security camera footage from Urif shows a group of masked men run down the road and throw stones at a family as they were about to get into a car. The father and the hijab-clad mother rush to grab their children and then flee in the house, while several of the stones hit the vehicle’s roof. The mob then proceeds to attack another car, parked nearby.
B’Tselem released photos of masked men roaming the area, some holding stones, while the IDF soldiers are standing at the background. The rights group reported that the soldiers used tear gas and live rounds against the Palestinians and didn’t detain any settlers.
Yitzhar and the surrounding area remains one of the hotspots for settler violence in the West Bank. Just between January 2017 and March 2018, Yesh Din recorded 40 cases when settlers and “other Israeli civilians” came from Yitzhar to attack the residents of six nearby Palestinian villages.
All Israeli settlements in the West Bank are considered illegal by the UN.”
What disgusting ‘antisemites’ these ‘two-legged animal’ Palestinians are. Imagine the Jew-hatred that drives people to force peaceful, law-abiding, God-fearing, Jewish people, veritable angels upon the Earth, to smash their cars and houses with their precious stones, such blessed ornaments of Eretz Yisrael. It is disgusting, and, no doubt, Jeremy Corbyn is somewhere, somehow, behind this ‘antisemitic’ virtual pogrom.
This psywar isn’t exactly new, but rather an expansion of long established practice by jewnazia.
Israel Training Troops to Act as ‘Army of Ambassadors’ After Release – Report
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201904141074128034-israel-idf-troops-ambassadors/
“A former captain of the Israeli special forces set up an initiative to train tens of thousands of released Israeli soldiers to act as ‘ambassadors’ during travels abroad, teaching the veterans how to talk about Israel with non-Israelis,
“We understood that Israel has a ‘hasbara’ problem and that the people dealing with it the most are recently released soldiers and they have an opportunity to positively influence how Israel is perceived,” captain Eyal Biram said in an interview, using the Israel-specific term for Tel Aviv’s efforts to spread positive propaganda.
“More than 400,000 [Israelis] between the ages of 20 and 24 travel abroad each year. Basically, a group that is mostly made up of recently released soldiers. […] Each of them is basically an informal Israeli ambassador, for good and for bad,” he added.
Biram, together with partners Jonathan Svorai and Barak Deri, approached the IDF with their ‘Israel-is’ project.
“It’s not their fault that they’ve only heard bad things about Israel,” Biram said.
“By the end of the conversation, they still might not like the State of Israel and what it does, but they will hopefully like the Israeli they were speaking to,”
One program instructor said that while responding to foreigner questions, it is most important to establish that “there is no black and white, but 50,000 shades of gray.”
“And remember, if you can’t beat them, confuse them,” the instructor quipped.
The program has become mandatory for Israeli servicemen preparing to leave the military and all departing service members must undergo an Israel-specific pre-release event detailing the benefits available to them in the outside world.”
Several years ago Gilad Atzmon wrote an article about this israeli practice of weaponizing their tourists, workers and students abroad, in a story about his encounter with one of the freaks driving a cab in China. This phenomenon of every israeli being a hasbarat goes way back, what we see here is doubling down/expansion of the practice.
When encountering one of the things, just remember that friendly, smiling face belongs to a life form that views you as cattle to be used and exploited and everything it says and does is to facilitate your acceptance to being their cattle.
I met a couple, years ago, in India-they turn nasty very easily, particularly if you know what you’re talking about. Mentioning Chomsky and his works exposing Zionazi crimes against humanity seemed to particularly inflame them. And never forget-arguing with one of these Gods Upon the Earth is an ‘antisemitic’ outrage, a veritable pogrom.
Strategy and Tactic of the Israeli policy
“The state of Israel must invent dangers, and to do this it must adopt the methods of provocation
and revenge… And above all, let us hope for a new war with the Arab countries so that we may
finally get rid of our troubles and acquire our space.” — From the diary of Moshe Sharett, Israeli’s
first Foreign Minister from 1948-1956, and Prime Minister from 1954-1956.

The Jar
by ioan
When soul and mind are worthless gold
Clock is still and heart runs crazy,
When every sentence has been told
There’s nothing more to do my baby,
When soul and mind are being sold
And every chance is fading out,
When every sentence is a fault
There’s nothing left to do about.
Oh, hear, oh, hear, those who have ears,
How could it be, the door is shut
And nothing left just pouring tears,
With singing angels, silent god,
There are no windows, only walls
The silence and resounding words
With little rays of light as wonder,
In the shallow night with thunder,
And it goes, it goes so further
As if most important mission
Every day and every night,
Learning lessons, repetition.
The Sun is settling down in west
The Moon is waltzing in the clouds,
They’re doing always all their best
Only the people keep their mouth :
Where are you Reason, where’s your home
Where resides your lucky star ?
You turned your back, you are no more,
Letting people smash their jar.
ioan, you show in your poetry understanding of the implications.
When Ecuador changed its mind about “diplomatic immunity” an alternative should have been quietly investigated. This would have resulted in Julian Assange being secretly transferred to the Russian embassy in London, and from there, onward to Russia.
The straight line distance, the shortest route between the embassies of Ecuador and Russia is one and a half miles and is across Kensington Gardens.
When within the Russian embassy compound, using a third party prearranged ladder if need be, one then requests political asylum and protection with secret transfer to Russia being arranged ASAP (as soon as possible).
The Russians could not, and would not have refused, had Assange “dropped in”.
Paul,
Brits are the most surveilled people in the world. When I, an ordinary nobody, go to do my grocery shopping I expect to be on at least one (and likely 6) CCTV camera at every point, from leaving my house until I return. For years there was a heavy physical uniformed police presence outside the Ecuadoran Embassy, the fact that it was removed didn’t mean that the surveillance was removed. Every Londoner knows that Assange would have been captured the moment he set foot on the pavement, off Ecuadoran soil. There were always plain clothes police lurking in the surrounding streets. There was no physical escape available 7 years ago, otherwise he would have taken it.
So for seven years he saved himself from what…………………..
And to be honest, after seven years and all those health scares, his cheeks were chubby and rosey, not gaunt like one has been led to believe, he gave the biggest wink, John Cleese couldn’t have done better, and the thumbs up of a soccer wriggler being carried off the pitch…………bloody hell mate……….let’s wait and see whose hand is behind the curtain.
You might like this tale of the long wait for justice that is all too familiar to older Brits. Its about football, (soccer) and an illustration of the long-term grit, spirit and determination required by ordinary working folks to get their point across and secure some justice in the face of the arse-covering machinations and downright lies routinely peddled by the political class and establishment:

Perhaps we can open this discussion again. The one of these heavy flame throwers called TOS-1A MRL.
Perhaps we can discuss this realistically and even if we come up with a bunch of proper research ask The Saker for analysis. But before then, lets get the bitter Russia hating short sentence tossing business out of here and do it properly.
So, background. In the previous Cafe, Ali gave us a link from Sputnik.
https://sputniknews.com/military/201904101073985275-russia-saudi-arabia-solntsepek/
and quite rightly raised the possibility of this being used against the Houthis.
This link quotes ‘informed sources’.
There was a similar type release somewhere on Tass as well.
Then, we had this beauty from ‘comment tossing Russia hater anonymous’:
https://defence-blog.com/army/russian-heavy-flamethrower-spotted-in-saudi-arabia.html
This link quotes social media with pics with skew decals added to the pic. Is that even a pic of this weapon?
So, far, nothing is real to me.
Someone questioned those add-on decals on the pics – Ali said it was a camera thing. I simply see skew decals added afterwards.
Janes say something different: “Russia’s Interfax news agency cited an informed source as saying on 10 April.
On the previous day photographs began circulating on social media channels that purportedly showed a TOS-1A in Saudi Arabia. The MRL was seen loaded on a trailer that appeared to have the insignia of the Royal Saudi Land Forces (RSLF).”
https://www.janes.com/article/87819/saudi-arabia-takes-delivery-of-tos-1a-mrls
So we still have ‘informed source’ and ‘purportedly’ and ‘appeared to have’ but nothing official from the Russians or anyone else.
Can anyone give us anything that is not ‘purportedly’ and ‘no name no source informed sources‘.
If anything is official, and not fluffly, we can of course ask The Saker for comment. What I do know, is that I don’t ask him anything based on ‘purportedly’ and ‘no name informed sources’. Things better be properly sourced else he will probably put me in the spam box forever for sure.
Ali, apologies for sidetracking the first very important question. Can we start over again?
Definitely skewed decals
“Definitely skewed decals”
Imprinted on the photos by the good old boys over on the SAUDI_POWER0 twitter feed https://twitter.com/SAUDI_POWER0 (scroll down to 9 April).
Here is the link just presented to us:
Here is the link: https://twitter.com/SAUDI_POWER0/status/1115675682770759680
That is a picture with some hashtaqs and a description. Translated it says:
ROCKET ROCKETS # Russian Flaming TOS 1A Saudi Arabia # Regulates to arm # armed forces where they have the ability to fire rockets loaded with highly fueled combustion and carry 30 rockets providing support for pedestrians and tanks.
This is an announcement far as I can figure out.
2nd tweet in the stream translated says:
# Russian TOS 1A where # company signed
Saudi Military Industries Memorandum of Understanding with the company # Rosoborone # Export for its production Model (TOS-1A) locally in Saudi Arabia
Now I’m using a translator and certainly don’t speak Arabic and this 2nd tweet in the stream talks about a MoU signed with Rosoborone. A MoU does not indicate a sale. A MoU does not indicate delivery. A MoU does not indicate that its feet are on the ground.
I cannot find anything that says this thing is in Saudi Arabia as the tweetstream goes on to other things.
So, the statement made by anonymous is not coherent with what I see on the tweetstream, but I don’t speak the language of course. If you can speak the language anonymous can you check the translations? I see some guy talking about a MoU with Rosoborone with a picture where the decals moved.
The next tweet in the stream has a laughing face icon with God forgive you. And the next one says: I swear by God. May God forgive you.

Before Islam: When Saudi Arabia Was a Jewish Kingdom
by Ariel David – publisched on November 29, 2017
In 2014, researchers from a French-Saudi expedition studying rock inscriptions in southern
Saudi Arabia announced they had discovered what could be the oldest texts written in the
Arabic alphabet. But they did so very quietly, perhaps because the context of the texts is
something of an embarrassment to some.
https://www.haaretz.com/archaeology/.premium-before-islam-when-saudi-arabia-was-a-jewish-kingdom-1.5626227
Yes, indeed. Various Zionazi propagandists associated with the ultra-Right and the Talmudists have long claimed Saudi Arabia as part of Eretz Yisrael. It’s a big place-in fact it is everywhere that any Jew dwelt, ever, for any length of time. God, bless his blood-soaked hands, gave it all to his dearly beloved people. And to deny it is dreadfully ‘antisemitic’.

Al jazerra too
It was undergoing construction – though that’s a good cover for tampering and placing incendiary devices.
I suspect Illuminati/deep state world government spooks behind this.
Several years ago on Orthodox Easter multiple churches around the world went up in flames on May 1st (an important Illuminati date): the Serbian church in New York City, a Macedonian church in Australia, one in Russia and there may have been another one too.
The news of the fire of this famous beautiful cathedral shook me deeply.
I thought the same. In which case we will know that it is no ‘accident’. No doubt they will find a yellow vest, carelessly discarded, at the scene, lying intact, like some miraculously preserved relic (or passport) at the scene.
Great Caesar’s Ghost! They’ve found Jeremy Corbyn’s passport, miraculously intact, amidst the ashes. The bounder thought that it was a synagogue! Remember-you heard it here first.
Watching Notre Dame being devoured by flames is the saddest spectacle I’ve ever seen. I am in tears. In all the images I’ve seen I’ve hardly seen firefighters. It looks like the firefighters were not at all prepared for this eventuality. I have barely seen any firefighters in all the videos and pictures of it. Could they not have sent firefighting helicopters?
This is totally heartbreaking. I look at it as a landmark in the demolition of western civilization. I am not convinced this was purely accidental.
I can only see 4 fire hoses looking quite inadequate….but maybe a big dump.of water by helicoper could blow out standing walls..blow out the stained glass…
seems so intense….I wonder if they were treating roof timbers with preservatives of a kind that were solvent based…..missed the beginning was there sheet film coverng the building? Glasgow school of art by fameous architect Mackintosh was undergoing restoration of an earlier fire….also most seriously caught fire again while under the care of the restorers…..
Tweet….all the treasures and works of art are safe
I’m not really in shock because this seems standard procedure for as long as I’ve lived in France. Most church fires in this country happen because of work done for maintenance, repairs or restauration. The workers and organizers never seem to realise the risks and there never seem to be enough (or any) fire extinguishers near the job sites.
The fire fighting also seems way under par, new technologies exist that require much less water and a many times better extinguishing effect. Watching the fire rage through the cathedral unimpeded leaves me speechless.
Latest …fire may have spread to one of the towers….hope the forest of scaffolding does not collapse would be very messy… burning timbets are lodged in it…modern scaffold is aluminium ..?anyways would not like to be someone checking that out later……5 hoses in op now…..I can judge….
Oh heavens .. this is heartbreaking.
What is just strange is that this happened just a little bit before Macron was going to ‘speak to the Nation’.
Wonder what Jesus might say………waste of land, hmm, ediface to oppulance, hmm, cost of construction could minister to so, so many poor, hmm, was there a soup kitchen at the cathedral? Now that would be a huge loss for the poor, not the well heeled ner do wells throwing money in the pot of mammon. I think he’d laugh, then cry at all that was wasted for a building. The yanks have bombed and blown up nicer looking mosques all over the ME, where is the outcry………….silence.
The Notre Dame is on fire :
https://www.rt.com/news/456608-notre-dame-cathedral-fire-paris/
Notre Dame burning,..on Eastern eve ? many important historical relics…what happened to them ? and the symbolism, the signification ? accident or sign ?
… I wonder what the people of Libya must be thinking at a political level, and about French Christianity right now ?
(include peoples of Syria, Venezuela, Yemen, Serbia and many more)
Of course it is a loss … NATO bombing is a terrible way to die and cancer causing depleted uranium is causing much misery and will do so until the end of our solar system.
Paris is seeing a minor tragic incident … no loss of life.
Let us all think very deeply about our good Christian values this Easter and onward, because as Bro often reminds us … Karma is a ***** …
A good Crosstalk today from RT, on a single subject, Assange and how the reporting on him (character assassination) is pure distraction from the realities he has consistently disclosed:

‘Firefighters are tackling a huge blaze at one of the oldest church buildings in Blackburn.
…
The Grade II-listed building is thought to be the oldest church in the town.
The Dean of Blackburn Cathedral, the Very Reverend Peter Howell-Jones, tweeted: “Very sad to see…….just praying now one was hurt.”
Blackburn with Darwen Council, which owns the building, said it would work with the Bureau’s directors to discuss its future.
Watch manager Chris Archer said the cause of the fire was not suspicious.’

CHURCHES across France have been set on fire and poo smeared on walls as the country’s Christian heritage is said to be under attack from “militant secularism”.
Recent incidents have included a fire in Saint-Sulpice church in Paris, human poo daubed on a wall in Notre-Dame-des-Enfacts in Nimes, and an organ vandalised at Saint-Denis basilica outside Paris.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8804063/france-church-arson-attacks-vandalism-christian-heritage/
Unconfirmed, don’t know what to make of it, a rumour (tweet) that cathedral staff had said that the fire was intentionally set: https://www.citizenfreepress.com/breaking/notre-dame-worker-says-fire-was-deliberately-set/
Sloppy maintenance wouldn’t surprise me as well. I’ve seen scaffolding in France on official buildings that I thought an African contractor was hired.

False flags by you know whos, I would say. A war between Islam and the West is good, but one within the West between the religious and the supposedly ‘militant’ secularists would be cream on top. When you have as many groups set against each other as possible, the tiny ruling elites find mass control that much easier. After all, did not the Oded Yinon Plan set out the fomenting of sectarian hatred between Shia and Sunni as the prime means for destroying Israel’s Arab neighbours? I keep thinking of that ludicrous World War Z where Israel is the only refuge from a world consumed by crazed zombies as some sort of psy-ops project, but I’m growing more paranoid by the day. But even paranoiacs have real enemies, after all.
Not to nit pik, but Crazed Zombies already live in Occupied Palestine………..not sure if you knew that…………thought I’d just point it out.
Jeez, sean-that information is truly valuable. I don’t know how I missed it. Thanks a lot.

US unseals affidavit against Assange, revealing a sole conspiracy charge. The document itself shown here:
https://www.rt.com/news/456650-us-unseals-assange-affidavit-fbi/
Charging the US with being “the most warlike nation in the history of the world,” Carter explained that his country had a habit of trying to force other countries around the globe to “adopt our American principles.” According to Carter’s estimate, the US has only had 16 years at peace in its 242 year history.
“If you take $3 trillion and put it in American infrastructure, you’d probably have $2 trillion left over. We’d have high-speed railroad. We’d have bridges that aren’t collapsing. We’d have roads that are maintained properly. Our education system would be as good as that of, say, South Korea or Hong Kong,” Carter estimated.

I’m so inspired by my Poetical- Political-Polemical Coding Project this morning that I have arisen before 3 am to give a gentle nudge today to your Most Prolific Poetical Producer Self, with these lines from Fellow Englander “Sammy C”:
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round;
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
Here’s the rest: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43991/kubla-khan
So much inspiration…….so little time!

BY SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE
It says… “ Or, a vision in a dream. A Fragment”
And what are our lives, in this vast Cosmos, but tiny fragments of code (DNA) tenuously joined to others through a dreamlike, intermittent individual consciousness shuffled and muffled and kerfuffled together on the internet!???
I know you Central Europeans are not the sea-faring sort, but you do have rivers and today I will be roaming about in the desert crossing over one that runs under ground….through Mojave Caverns of my Deserted Imagination.
It could be that you are far too coy in your socialist virginity to romp along the rivers of capitalist cryptography and even play along reluctantly (get your CentB on your phone or Electrum SV on your desktop as instructed and linked in the March 27 Café Link /moveable-feast-cafe-2019-03-27/#comment-630223 ) on the shores of this sort of currency, but please know that while the offer of a gift of one Learning Public BSV will always be open to you in the future, in the “now” I need a Platonic Crypto Playmate to romp along this Crypto-graphic River and Its Caverns Measureless to Man (or Woman!….No gender discrimination here!) and be slightly less coy!
Who will it be?
Maybe Anonymouse will take up the invitation to spy on us Little Englanders( after ALL, that’s all we Yanks, Aussies and Kiwis really are…..while as I have written twice before, a Modern Viking on a Viking Ship explained to me that the Irish are Different….yes, his Brothers! Of The Shipwrecked Viking Variety.
Or Pavel, perhaps, if he could be pried away from his Pyramids ever so briefly?
I had one Cryptic Buddy out of the Many Thousands that frequent the Vineyard Moveable Feast Café……we dabbled briefly in the Golden Dawn of EOS. Maybe he will stop sulking about its pullback from 7 to 20 USD in those Halcyon Days to the Gloom of All Too Recently……Under 3!!!
To emerge from his cave and play along with Me and BSV!
Oh what the heck! The Invitation is Open to Anyone Who Publically Corresponds and lets us know his Public Key…whereby I can send him or her his or her Their VERY OWN….. ONE BSV!!!
(Pipe up publically if you need help with the above wallet install and operation. If I miss your comment/questions because of running underground through some Cryptic Caverns Inconceivable to Ordinary Man …………I trust Trusty Ioan will alert me by email….)
You may be asking yourself:
“What the Devil does Bro and BSV Have To Do With ME and Multi-Polarity???”
Fair Question!
Answer(s):
First of all, we have it from our own resident Internet of Money Honey(amarynth) that the Leader of the BSV Project (CSW in Cryptic Code) is “certifiably crazy and Bi-Polar”. Check! NOT Uni-Polar! We are off to a good start!
Second, as I linked yesterday, the Theory Is That He And Julian Assange Were Not Only Class Mates at the Same School in Australia But Both Into Cryptography at the Same Time and the Same Place…..and therefore could both be, or alternatively be… Satoshi Nakamoto!
In the Crypto-Politico Sphere……….you can’t get much more strategically Bi-Polar (or Multi-Polar) Than That!
But Wait! There’s MORE!

CSW was in Venezuela fighting Human Trafficking!
To quote partially from the above link:
“I was offline for much of January 2011. During the time, I had travelled to Venezuela where I was working with a “Jawbreaker” team. The work was focused on stopping the trafficking of humans for the sex trade. I was in “prevention.” I did not bring people to justice, I worked with teams to stop things, permanently.
My “Blind Date” in Venezuela had me progressing West to the border of Colombia. It was my last operation of the type. I was shot twice, and evidence of it is likely to still exist on the Internet for all my efforts to have destroyed it. I met with Colombian El Departamento Administrativo de Seguridad (DAS) agents, as my job was accessing systems and information, and on the occasion, it was related to an operation associated with garnishing evidence against FARC-V. Before, I was what some people would call an “agent of influence.”
I’m not ashamed of my past, but I never wanted to talk about it. I still do not. The best answer to many aspects of life, the darkened dirty parts, is a solution delivered through a salve of sunshine. So, rather than staying in silence and allowing others to paint a false picture of my life and Bitcoin, I am going to fill in the missing pieces. I always had enough people to be proud of what I did that I did not need to make it public. My uncle knows me well; Don Lynam was very senior within military intelligence, and I grew up respecting him and my grandfather. I saw their sacrifice, and I wanted to emulate some of it.
People smuggling, sex slavery, and many forms of illicit exchange exist in the modern world. People do not like to talk about them. But they exist, and they are insidious, and they are evil that must be stopped.
Terrorist financing occurs because of the existing banking system and the ability to lose transactional data. I worked on Bitcoin for a long time before I found something that would not be able to be used in a manner that was anonymous. A system that economically collapsed to one or none. It needed to be private allowing people to engage in their day-to-day lives and even do things that were mildly wrong. At the same time, it had to be the ultimate anathema to all that was evil in the world.
I designed and created Bitcoin to stop the need for people like me — people who worked with SAD operatives and even those acting in the tracing of funds.
I was a pastor for a time. (Bro, aside: maybe this Theological connection will “on-board” that overboard shipwrecked Viking Dennis O’Leary…..) But, the images of what I have done, what I have seen, and the cruelties I have witnessed in the world led me to abandon the position. I have witnessed children as young as 10 with AK-74s and women who have been forced to watch the death of their children knowing that other members of their family are being held and, if they try to escape, will be killed. All of it exists because of a system that allows records to be lost.
I designed Bitcoin to create an immutable evidence trail, money that is private and yet does not suffer the fate of Gyges. Anonymity is a curse. Nothing good comes of it.”
Seriously, Folks: I can’t make this stuff up. But I can find it on the internet. LOL.
Ciao, schuss and Hasta La Vista, Baby!
I have to do some “trading”right now, in the wee hours of the morning….. based on this inspiration and an intuited hunch………before I travel along an underground river today………With Caverns Inconceivable to Man.

Oh boy! That is just so funny Bro. Craig Wright claiming he is the issuer of Bitcoin therefore it belongs to him. Wow wow … Not consistent with the White Paper though – in fact wholly inconsistent. And he is now reportedly written to Adam Back to sue him as well.
What is happening in reality though is that the exchanges are ‘en masse’ delisting BSV. Binance, Shapeshift, Kraken in the process, and so on, one after the other they’re making their delisting announcements faster than what they can type – on the basis of voluntary association and the exchanges have decided to voluntary disassociate, i.e., neither buy, nor sell, nor trade and not deal with this man and his coin whatsoever.
Vitalik Buterin has disassociated some time ago.
Wallets are delisting as fast as what they can delete the code. BSV is taking a slow ride down CMC both in terms of price and marketcap. You know that song .. Freefalling.
The space is in uproar (grins) – a great old crypto fight in the grand tradition of crypto fights. I’m actually quite enjoying it.
Here is one answer to Craig Wright … 14 seconds flat …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ygv-2YXrxxA
I did tell you it was a good training coin, but now I’m going to tell you that imv you be riding a donkey in a horse race. ;-) and
nobody but nobody excepting those that are doing experimentation are going to deal with BSV.
This is valid for the next six months or so.
The grander community is now not just calling him certifiably nuts, but also a sick, psycho.
As I said, I’m quite enjoying it.
What a fight to follow. No, I don’t watch boxing or such things, but a crypto fight is epic and my language skills improve each time (not for the better). The Winklevosses (for whatever it is worth) are simply saying …

It can be called a mob action, but it can also be called that the healthy sections of the community are just extirpating the less wholesome.
Dear friend Bro, thanks for your open mail, I cannot say “I’m on” because I’m not, As you know very well, my time is limited and this issue needs concentration and technical knowledge. If things can go from bad to worst on my home-front, well, they do. For the time being, I have to postpone this thing, please do understand, not that I don’t pay attention to it. My first worries are elsewhere now. From time to time I come here to be informed and add something to the Cafe, that not requires too much time and doesn’t makes me unwanted stress. Citing Rocky Graziano “somebody up there loves me…” well, if that is Love…
@Amarynth – I am thinking on what you suggested in your reply on the other thread, but I can say the same thing, lack of time to prepare the works in a proper way keeps me away for a while to do anything for myself. Thank you both for understanding !
Well Mulga, that didn´t take long before a Gilet Jaune was connected to the Notre Dame fire:
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-04-16/internet-erupts-speculation-about-who-started-notre-dame-cathedral-fire
Look at update 2. You know what I see? I see a construction worker. It is very common that construction workers wear very distinguished clothing, to be clearly visible within moving equipment and materials (safety issue). A yellow vest is quite often used. And I think I also see a safety helmet on his head.

I tend to agree. Children can benefit from lessons in morality, including acceptance of others and not being hateful towards them. Bertie Russell, during his short attempt at education, wished to emphasise ‘kindheartedness’ ie compassion, and oppose unkindness. Sounds good to me. Sexual education before sexual maturity seems to me to be most ill-advised.
I wonder if Oleg Deripaska the oligarch boss of Rusal lives in Russia.And has his money in Russia. He certainly has the base of his wealth in Russia.And as a pro-US liberal he also certainly doesn’t contribute to Russia’s national policy. One would “think” that someone of his power and influence would be a pretty intelligent person.But after just getting out of US sanctions by kissing the US’s feet.Its shocking to see him getting ready to be fleeced again by the US.He is investing millions of dollars of Rusal money in a plant in Kentucky.Which means it will be so much easier to just seize that investment whenever the US decides to “punish” Russia some more.Please President Putin stop letting these idiots take more wealth out of Russia. Isn’t the billions they’ve looted from the country enough. Instead aren’t there a few acres open in Siberia to dump them in,so they won’t do more harm to Russia.
