Thank You Paul for posting this vignette
Great to see and hear oppressed and victimised people speak their Truths.
The issues are not black versus white; the issues are power versus powerless.
It is the age old story of Might is Right in order to preserve the status quo
May there be strength in your peace

Thank You Paul I’m thrilled and honoured to be recipient of your very fine work.
I read the Saker as often as I can but am very time poor with looking after the mess my father has left, still wanting to control affairs from beyond his grave, and my mother who at 91 next birthday is still quite feisty and spritely-she is happy she won the competition of Life.

Love that walks its Talk. Therein lies redemption
Things are going to get bad in Europe- for the English and American terror regimes. Russian war ships re fueled in the Spanish ports, Spain said “Russia is welcome to use our ports because Russia is no enemy of Spain, but the English occupying forces must leave Gibraltar!” This is very significant. Spain has a Socialist government. In surveys Spain is always the most anti USA/English, highest support for Palestine, lowest Russophobia. All this despite main news being controlled by Anglo. RT Spanish language news is the second most popular news site! Not a single person is Spain wants war with Russia. Spain is there fore an enemy of the Anglo-Nazi war machine and is in their target sights. The USA is openly supporting a neo-Fascist political movement Vox, to destabilise Spain.
Spain must prepare for a full war with England over Gibraltar at same time as Malvinas is taken by the Argentina brothers. Does anyone believe the full power failures in Argentina was not a USA/UK terror operation? Hundreds of people died in hospitals because of it. Anglo do these things as a threat to Latin America- “ Do what we say, or we will make Chaos”. Argentina signed big mineral deals with China and wants to buy Sukhoi 34 jet bombers from Russia- the Anglo will seek revenge.
The Left is Spain is in love with Russia for a hundred years, from when CCCP helped Spanish Republic against the Nazi/Anglo puppet Franco. Anglo Saxons invented the Black Legends, rascist myths about the Hispanic people which Trump is just the latest version of. A Nazi-type supremacism which feels a genocidal hatred of ‘lesser race’, same as Nazis felt towards Slavics. The Anglo see our Catholic religion, the victory over their Islamic Al-Andalus allies in Spain, and they see our rich culture and the beauty our people and feel envy and insecurity when they compare to their own Puritan-terrorist history, obese and ugly people, ultra Capitalist ‘culture’ based on Greed alone. Russians are always welcome in Spain.
The Left also feels connected to the Latin American brothers the revolutionary anti-USA nations like Venezuela and Cuba, who are also strong allies of Russia and China. Spain feels hatred and disgusted at USA and UK fascist culture and want no part on it. Rumor is that Spain will formaly recognise Crimea as Russian land, which is a declaration of war against USA/England. England will starve if Spain refuses to sell vegetables to them after they leave EU. In my opinion Spain will be the first EU country to leave NATO and many other will follow, firstly Portugal which is ruled by radical Left also.
Spain was a case study. Under franco there was traction against the “judeomason”. Spain was friendly of all arab regimes, PLO while ocupying western sahara. But all changed as soon a a chance presented.
“la transicion” happened, CIA’s dirty fingers are all over the place. And the power transitioned from fascism to a preaproved monarchy. Corruption abounded, and even their first socialist president, campaigned on never joining NATO, which he joined soon after getting elected.
There is the ilusion of democracy, but the electoral methods date to facism, and votes are destroyed by law the night of the reccount. All spanish elections are plagued by hints of foul play, yet nothing happens, and go figure, the remainings of fascism win the “free” elections regularly, against all odds and even exit polls.
Russia is openly supporting the Houthi genocide via TOS-1A MLRS shipments to Saudi Arabia.
There is, therefore, nothing to choose between Russia and USA openly supporting a neo-Fascist political movement Vox, to destabilise Spain.
Just more of the same.
Okay, you are the troll who has been trying to post the exact same accusations for MONTHS now, sticking it in every possible location irrespective of the topic discussed. Usually the mods catch it, this time they missed you. So I will use this opportunity to reply.
First, the KSA buys for MANY HUNDERED OF BILLIONS of military hardware all over the planet: from the US, of course, but also from major EU countries and, yes, from Russia. You would have Russia not sell, leaving the market to everybody else. Ain’t gonna happen.
Second, Russia is trying to gain more traction in the region while trying to slowly push the US out. This is why Russia exports way more than just TOS-1As (which, by the way, Russia also delivered to the Syrian government). If you think that this is bad policy, you don’t understand geopolitics.
Third, I have yet to see evidence that the Houthis are “genocided” by these systems, assuming the Saudis have truly deployed them in Yemen. If they have, these are clearly used in a secondary role. BTW – genocides are usually committed with simple weapons, not very advanced weapons systems like the TOS-1As you seem to be obsessed with.
So, you had your say. I had mine.
Now stop trolling with this nonsense or be banned.
The Saker
What is the best investment ? Here : ” If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1Corinthians 13
I’d expand the three to five; compassion and empathy.

Ioan, Sean:
This is true!
But I would have to do a study, an etymological breakdown of “in-vest-ment” to go much further into detail.
II’ve got a sense of “in” (inner, into) and ment (mind?) but I am a little shaky on the “vest” part of the metaphor.
Vestal Virgins comes to mind, but there goes Dennis’ influence….yet again……. LOL.
The dryness of business and money is in contrast to the fluidity of love…..so I get the hint!—from your words and beautiful sketches!
An Oasis Cafe in the Desolate Desert of Commercial Life!
I will soon overcome my laziness and get…… yet another….sigh!…. log-in in and password for engaging amarynth in the Great Bitcoin Debate in the Vineyard Community Site or Page or whatever it is………… and spare y’all much (but not all!….you need the contrast…lol) of the parched furnace of desiccated and dreary commerce, replete with my withering blasts of hot desert sands!
Sorry…but I have to “go there” …into the teeth of those shamals…….for my 3 dependents who prefer the more temperate, softer climed OC ……..to the far, far more affordable but less habitable ………Mojave Desert communities.
And perhaps, besides amarynth and I…one or two more visitors to the Vineyard of the Saker may chime in there and deabte, wrestle….and brainstorm for the benefit of those that need to migrate to milder environments……or avoid losing footholds there and being pushed back into harsher, cheaper ones!
But first, here is a short-follow from my business partner ……….who describes himself as “a Doberman” (pick up your canine companion in your arms, ioan, to keep him safe!) responding to the video of Ed in the last Cafe:
“Got it. Way ahead of this but thanks for creepy Serbian guy who needs a shave and a shirt.
As I said previously, I am convinced CSW is playing this as I would. His adversaries are business amateurs and criminals. His whole epistemological approach resonates with ours, not the masses or his criminal adversaries. The question is not if he’ll move to take them down, it is when, and will he succeed. He could lose his life to these douchebags if he threatens their orgy.
His lawsuit with Kleinman brother is troublesome, because we have no real details.
But I’m betting on CSW anyway.”
My reply:
“Understood..
Thanks. But Ed is OK. Getting bombed by the Luciferian NWO….NATO…… makes you tough……razors become a luxury…..LOL
I understand you Bro, I know what is empathy, if you know what I mean. I understand many here in the same way, my problem is with the logic of things and their exposure. I understand your enthusiasm and that of Dennis even if both of yours arguments are totally different and in collision with each other. You are following your way and Dennis his way (as he used to say). That’s good but we are a community here, everyone has the right to have his/her opinion on certain things, even on cryptcurrencies, let them have it, let them search and have their own conclusions. You cannot save the world alone, neither I. In the lastest time, my friend, you are pushing cryptos as some kind of new religion of those who , as you say ” live with their feet on the ground”. Don’t get upset, I’m not trying to teach you – I have no moral right to teach anyone here – just telling openly as a friend of you, as an old comrade in the fight for a better world, not forgetting the ideals which took us together several years ago here in the Cafe and in the War-Rooms.
“no moral right” never restrict yourself, please. Great teachers are are few and far between. All words resonate, even when delivered in the most delicate manner.

The flame of love illumines us
It is then we are seen.

Future stars of a new heaven and a new earth
In Love’s creative power
We create ourselves anew
In Love’s burning fire
We become Essential
In World Existence

A little tongue in cheek – here is an ‘investment’ for you (grins)
Proverbs 31:10-31 King James Version (KJV)
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
Take a look at how much commerce this ‘virtuous woman’ does.
Very good, thank you amarynth !
Hi amrnyth, I was going to leave a comment on the community page regarding the politics of growing one’s own food, but the comment section does not work. Mundane questions, do you reside in a northern climate and is that a greenhouse that you are growing food in?
Hi seun the leprechaun .. comments on the https://saker.community/ all go into the forums. I cannot deal with spam on articles as well as forums. I’ll formalize this more as we grow. So, the forums are a more community based discussion place.
https://saker.community/forum/growing-things/
We are in a tropical climate and yes, that is a greenhouse but not like greenhouses for cold areas. That one is built from wood that we harvested from the forest and it has wall on one side and roof with sunscreening – some areas 50% and some up 85% sun protective screening. The sun is both our friend and our enemy in our world. That greenhouse is open on 2 sides for airflow. Depending on your climate, we probably grow some things that most people have never heard about. I’ll put some more in the growing-things forum – like Hibiscus tea, Moringa and Chaya. We tend toward healing foods and tend toward a permaculture approach.
Envy on my part, we just had a frost, hopefully the last, june 12th, so growing food in these parts can be hit and miss. Every year we expand our garden trying to grow more in an ever shortening growing season, first fall frost can come as early as first week of Sept. Should the ‘saker community’ take off so to speak, perhaps a disscussion in the future (if we have won, said grinning) on sharing of seeds. I am building a greenhouse this year (see; frost) so some things from more temperate climates could be grown inside maybe, plus it’s just fun to experiment and see what does and doesn’t grow.
Cheers, M
Try Hugelkulture-it works a treat.
In English, we call them raised garden beds. Which are great for small space gardening, providing one has the time to build and maintain them. They are not practical for large gardens in the 1000s of square feet. We have a few for specific plants that like well drained soil. Otherwise frost is frost, hence the need to extened the growing season with a greenhouse. I would say that for perennials the hugelkulture would be great, but for annuals especially food plants, rasied beds are not practical if you are trying to grow a lot of food. Which, in and of itself begets, preserving all that food. Another topic for another day.
I’m from south of the line living in my little antipodean bubble. The moveable feast cafe has become a very enjoyable and I dare say almost essential part of my day. Interestingly I’ve just spent the last month or so constructing a greenhouse and we run a property on somewhat biodynamic/ permaculture lines. I knew Bill Mollinson, he lived close to our family farm. Guess I’ll haunt the community growing things forum.
Wouldn’t it be something if or little band of cyber coffee drinkers were to meet up and continue the discussion in a real cafe. Perhaps once every 5 or 10 years or so in a different country in alternating Hemispheres.

Unique work, and I also “see” your strength is being restored.
The Bridge to Greater Worlds ( For my Father )
evening shadows lengthen and fall
across your darkening way,
strength that once carried you
beginning to falter and fail
do not fear the twilight, love
surrender freely all you may,
for as each purpose is fulfilled
what need is there to rant and rail?
you know that old and broken body
that garment now outworn,
will soon return from whence it came
and you’ll be finally free to soar,
do not fear the darkness, love
or the ferryman’s quiet advance
for birth and death are but a bridge
to greater worlds that lie in store
and when the rising whirlwind comes
and the great dissolving does begin,
deep within a remembering;
not once, not twice but countless times!
do not fear the day, my love
or the agony of being born,
there is a reason for the veil
and why the morning bells do chime….
you know that old and broken body
that garment now outworn,
will soon return from whence it came
and you’ll be finally free to soar
do not fear tomorrow, love
or the ferryman’s quiet advance,
birth and death are but a bridge
to greater worlds that lie in store
Dimitar my friend, this poem is one of your best, but you have many. Thank you for sharing it with us !
Thank you, Ioan. You’ve beautifully set the tone for this Cafe with your sanguine and your quote from St. Paul.
Dimitar.
Beautiful poem.
Thank you D-
I am not a frequent commenter in the cafe these days, but wish to express that I always find great depth in the poems you post here. You have a gift of insight which you deliver in beautifully wrought words.

Thanks so much, Hornswaggler and thank you, kinterra for your poem above, as well. The challenge here was to offset the bleakness of a ‘twilight poem’ with a counterpoint of hope. Lines 5, 6, 7, and 8, stanza 3, somehow manage to do that. In that blaze of light is the contrast necessary to the overall, ‘late autumn’ mood of the poem.
Dimitir one of your best with more to come I hope
Thanks Tera, best, D.
Latest post on Craig Murrays blog including further exposure of MI6s direct involvement with the British press and really what amounts to nothing less than direct control of articles relating to foreign policy and geopolitics.

Apparently last year is better than before…I am not so sure at the moment…..”The index from the Institute for Economics & Peace also reveals that for the first time in five years, there is a slight improvement in global peacefulness. On average, country scores improved 0.09 percent, as 86 countries recorded more peacefulness and 76 countries showed deterioration.
However, even as some crises and conflicts of the last decade finally begin to subside, the report found that the world is notably less peaceful than 10 years ago. Compared to 2008, the average level of peacefulness is 3.78 percent lower. Only three times in the last decade has the index recorded any overall improvement.” Etc.

… absolutely despicable …
because Russia and/or Eastern Ukraine had nothing at all to do with the downing of MH17
( this is an ongoing despicable “false-flag” fabrication )
We regret ‘baseless’ accusations by intl probe Russian military complicit in MH17 crash – Moscow
https://www.rt.com/news/462224-russia-response-jit-mh17-report/
Pavel (Paul), you are right but this is nothing more than a theatre.
The Dutch, the Russians and the Ukrainians know damn well what really happened, but for anyones sake they will keep their mouths officially shut. Just as officially still Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK, though the latest declassified FBI documents reveal that the front windshield of the car contained a bullet hole.
I have written about this before, so I am keeping this short.
– I’d like to invite people to look seriously to the pictures of the cabin of this plane. Text reveals that it is shattered by shrapnel of a Buk. Isn’t it curious, that all holes are about the same size, circular or elliptic? Isn’t it curious that both sides of the cabin show this? Isn’t it curious that those holes are partially with edges bound inside, partially bound outside?
Could it be, that these are simply bullet holes? And what do I need, to fire a large calibre weapon on 10 km. heigth?
– I can’t find it anymore, but a few days after the downing, a press conference was held by the top Russian Military, with all radar images and transponder codes. It was completely ignored by the MSM. At the end they asked a question, on which they knew damn well the answer, what this Sukhoi 25 was doing so awkwardly close to the MH17. Which people are allowed to fly with armoured Sukhoi 25 over the Ukraine?
– I have doubted this for years, but a long rumour has been going around over the internet that the Russian federal plane, with Putin aboard had been flying some 200 km. north of the MH17 at the same time. These planes look somewhat similar, though the amount of motors differ (4 to 2).
The RF has radar distraction capabilities, you can count on it that they were on.
Can we understand, that top grade politicians and militaries are silent on this? This is real dirt. The rest is just babble and theatre for the ignorant sheeple.
Cheers, Rob
I’m going to add something.
Imho it is impossible that the MH17 was hit by a Buk rocket. In the first place, a Buk doesn’t hit it’s target. Its head explodes close to ist target, the shock wave tearing the target to pieces. It’s designed for that.
If you look closely to the ground pictures of the downed MH17 plane, you can see that the hull, wings and motors, though shattered, are about in the same place as intact. This plane came down in as good as one piece.
When compared to the debris following the exploded plane above Lockerbie years ago, we can exclude explosives. This is a bogus story.
Cheers, Rob
[eng subs] KP: “Interview with new witness in MH17 case”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiH8KZOfNfg
Voloshin committed “suicide” as he was going to talk.
Important videos are now missing at YouTube.
I can tell you this … forget about Putin’s plane and the BUK.
(those are “red herrings” so to speak)
Interesting.
I’ve read this name ‘Voloshin’ and the plane ‘being at the wrong place at the wrong time’ also via other sources. The large hole behind the cabin of the MH17 is directing towards a hit by an air-to-air missile. Most sources are gone by now, and I’m cautious in what to believe.
But the official stories are crap.
Thanks and cheers, Rob
… and you will find Rob that sources that appear credible have been poisoned with disinformation.
Hi Rob,
your curiosity is encouraging. Someone has collected something about MH17 into a pdf that you could have a look at if a target email address was known (your physical address is not necessary for this purpose).

Arrogance does not describe it accurately. A tiny tribe of ancient, belligerent, Mafiosi, (and I am speaking of the Zionazi elites, not all Jews)who really, truly, madly, deeply believe that they are Gods Upon the Earth and all mere goyim must bow down before them. And if they dare refuse, or even hesitate in obeying, the ‘antisemitism’ industry fanatics begin screeching.

Thanks ioan!
I read a book or more,written by a contemporary saint,Sophrony Sakharov of Essex,the discipol of another russian saint,Silouan the Athonite. He had prayed to God for 30 years to get that Love,and Christ,in his mercy, offered him this precious gift.

God exists. There are major religions, and they are from God. There are many pseudo-religions and

But God is indisputable, eternal, and there is the creator of everything. THIS is the main thing.

The West is continuing with this attack:
Netherlands – International prosecutors announced murder charges Wednesday against four men – three of them Russians with military or intelligence backgrounds – in the missile attack that blew a Malaysia Airlines jet out of the sky over Ukraine five years ago, killing all 298 people aboard.
Notice that the vermin have invented a charge of ‘murder’ ie deliberate killing. OK, what is the motive? What? Just Russian Evil I suppose. For a long time the tragedy was described, sensibly, as an hideous accident, but now, solely for hate-mongering purposes, the charge becomes ‘murder’. And the charge, utterly vile and ludicrous to anyone who has followed the history, is taken, instantly and uniformly, by the presstitute vermin, as GUILT. Some show trial this will be, no doubt like the Lockerbie farce where US diplomats openly coached the prosecution from the body of the court.

0:59 – Gloomy, Strelkov, Gurza and Mole. International investigators send arrest warrants for the main
suspects in the crash of liner # MH17 in the Donbas. The reaction of the world and Russian media.
7:26 – “Demons” and “troublemakers” in the opinion of Vladimir Solovyov and Dmitry Kiselyov.
P.S.: Present Time is a fifth columnist russophobic youtube channel
German Chancellor Angela Merkel appeared unsteady and unwell as she met with Volodymyr Zelenskiy
in Berlin, her whole body visibly shaking as she received the new Ukrainian president at the chancellery.
Merkel later said she was fine.

I immediately thought that she was doing a ‘Hillary Clinton’ who fainted and fell into her car.
Hillary had a body double to prove that she was ‘fine’. I doubt whether Merkel has one.
Though there is a famous YT video of an apparently drunk tourist in Greece, ‘dancing’, that looks a lot like her ;-)
(careful, it is SFW, but what has been seen, cannot be unseen… )

OK, last chance to get on this train. We’ve started shaking out our feathers for the recipe and cookbook that should be ready by around October this year, so, the real work is starting. Its now the time to send your favorite recipes, and their stories – grandmother’s and slow food style.
I’ve been researching in depth for correct names of foods and different ways of preparation and realized I’ve eaten pancake, blini, crepes in 4 countries. That was quite a realization and because I gathered cooking methods where-ever I went, I can now make all 4 of those with different fillings, toppings, methods and so on. So, this will be an interesting book and fun to do and a good fundraiser for The Saker Blog.
Mid-July is cut off date for your recipes and methods. Someone from Hungary or thereabouts must help me out with an authentic old-fashioned way of making Goulash. The methods and the secrets please. To enjoy food together is to bring cultures together.
While looking at some Russian recipes I went looking for correct spellings and came across this food vlog. There are such good food vlogs out there, but this guy with his international flavor is just a feast. He also speaks English, German, Mandarin and Russian. So this one is from St. Petersburg with his grandmother and grandfather. Even if you are not in a food culture, take a look – those pastries at the end are just to die for! Truly enjoyable.

And then for some reason I got to wondering about the use of corn in Russia and found this tidbit. Is there anyone that can confirm this corn story about Khrushchev? It goes that he had an obsession with planting corn, and had a nickname of Kukuruznik (Corn Man). Is this true? Because I find some certain versions of corn bread that the legends say were made for him specifically.
Amarynth, the video of the German man in St Petersburg was/is great – especially when he is with his grandfather at the end, very enjoyable.Very likeable people.Thanks.
Thank You amaranth for this delectable slice of family food and fun in gorgeous St Petersburg
Truly enjoyable
Sorry amarynth for incorrect spelling of your name.
After posting my comment I was wondering about recipes I might contribute to your collection. But before I could pick one, I thought of a recipe to ask for, in the Saker community.
In the seventies I lived with my family in Wolfenbuttel Germany. My second son was born just before Christmas in BAOR Hospital Hannover.
One of my most favourite chores was to pack up the littlies and push the pram into a Konditorei- I can still re-experience the total sensory impact of stepping inside these delectable places.
Anyway, a steadfast favourite of ours was the authentic Hanoverian quark stollen.
And that is the recipe I’m searching for. Please?
I’ll keep thinking on what I might contribute- these days I cook mainly nutrient dense healthy whole foods. I’m not sure I have anything ‘unique’ or special to offer
Thank You again
… sacrifice a drone to increase the oil price and profiteer …
Oil prices climb 3% after Iran shot down intruding US spy drone
https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2019/06/20/598969/oil-prices-Iran-US-drone
According to Reuters, Brent crude features, the global benchmark, went up $1.38 at $63.20 a barrel at 0854 GMT Thursday, having risen as much as 3.3% to $63.88.
US West Texas Intermediate crude jumped $1.45 to $55.21.
( non-existent logic has been applied for profiteering )
For what it’s worth. Anytime there was a supply chain hiccup, Iraq, Lybia, Iran, Somalia, Venuzella etc……..out here in the hinterlands the price of gas would jump 10 to 20% just on the mention of it. With what is happening in the Gulf, Iran refineries on fire, tankers being damaged, the price of gas has been steadly declining, seems the hand behind the curtain is busy. But I seem to remember Russia and SA working out a deal on world pricing. Could they keep the markets stable even with a Tanker War in the Gulf.
… a statement from the chess-master …
During his annual Q&A session on Thursday, a journalist asked Putin if there would be a “grand deal” with the US on Syria as the country begins to recover from years of hostilities and destruction.
“What do you mean ‘a grand deal’? Sounds like some commercial act.
No. We don’t sell out our allies, our interests or our principles,” Putin said.
https://www.rt.com/news/462302-putin-grand-deal-syria/
Iran shot down one of the very large American drones, the type that is the size of a manned aircraft.
The Iranians will be salvaging the vehicle and studying its advanced surveillance and electronics technologies.
some updates:
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/28613/everything-we-know-about-irans-claim-that-it-shot-down-a-u-s-rq-4-global-hawk-drone
Evidently some confusion in the pentagon as to just which drone was shot down.
Trump gave the order to retaliate but then reconsidered, so 20,000 US servicemen and their ships remain safe for the time being.
Iran had locked on their missiles to all targets days ago.
What’s next ?
India is sending their military ships into the Persian Gulf … for what ?
(Iranian missiles have a maximum range of 2500 kilometres)
Excellent article from the Duran containing much information with the latest on the Great Game. It does not take into account , however, in its conclusions the influence of Israel and the total lack of creativity in the Pentagon which thinks it can ” take out” the Iranian nuclear program with a “limited, strategic” strike like how the Israeli’s did with an Iraqi reactor years ago.
https://theduran.com/declassified-the-sino-russian-masterplan-to-end-u-s-dominance-in-middle-east/
The A. Lincoln carrier has not entered the Persian Gulf and there is more than just one reason for this
Iranian military releases footage of missile strike on US drone:

FARS Agency track of drone: appears drone veared towards Iranian coastline and IF the white line is boundary of territorial air space, very close to penetrating it when it was shot down; big FWIW:

Everything is rerated.
A male cousin received my 2nd and last Crypto Hive Mind Project email and responded thusly:
“What effect will Facebook and Libra have on the crypto market? Just read the headline so far. As big as they are I’m assuming this will have a huge impact.”
I answered:
“FB?? You mean Fucker Berg??
I heard contradictory noises…everything from him building it on top of BSV or EOS……to starting his own highly centralized blockchain. He’s a total CIA creature that I never have had anything to do with nor will I have anything to do with….so I don’t care very much.
I makes half asleep dummies more aware of crypto…no doubt….but is that good?
All in all, I don’t think so. There are other use cases that are 1000 times better.”
He came back with:
“I know FB is part of the Machine. That’s why this stinks. Looks like a possible attempt to get total control of the crypto currency market. If that happens aren’t all the other cryptos then worthless?
Or can they co-exist with a Big Brother version like FB is trying to promote? The others may be 1000 times better but will they survive the FB challenge? It seems to me like it’s going to come down to who gets control of the market and everybody else is fucked. May not be fair but big fish eat little fish.”
My reply:
Oversimplistic and over-paranoid.
Everything is put in perspective by the question: “Compared to WHAT?”
Relative to the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s there IS a “Great Awakening’…..internationally…world wide
Still has lots of errors in it…its messy..has contradictions galore in it………..but take what you can get because it provides 1000 times more opportunity to skirmish and outflank EVIL on every level……….from the mind of the individual to the highest levels of global Grand Strategy TODAY…than “back then”.
Ergo, EVIL is not the logical, inevitable Winner……….except in the mind of the already defeated Loser.
The unconscious will give up all their data to Fucker Berg and enjoy being idiotic narcissist minions of the Deep State.
A growing number of conscious persons all over the world WILL NOT enjoy minionhood and will opt out, “voting with their feet.”.
Google, Facebook, Twitter behemoths may yet be broken up………..by anti-trust legislation.
Even if they aren’t they may lose market share ………to better newer platforms.
Stay strong.
Or if you don’t feel strong……”work out” your mind and will………..with the goal to get stronger, more mentally and morally fit!
Take a 5 minute break and listen to a beautiful prayer and remember there is one thing that never change.

Nice! I’ll fall asleep to that, Per. A good soul cleansing to finish the week…..
I just checked in at bedtime and 1 (ONE!) Café comment since mine….this morning.
I’ll take a short sabbatical to see if someone can revive the patrons ………who all went to sleep….except you, Per…after my comment about FB.
Dread of Zio-Coin froze everyone in fright? Novichuk from the Labs in London? What ails ye?
Communal Sex Theory was clearly more stimulating than the Crypto-Sphere Cafe….despite the sketches and poems on agape…….and the air …just got sucked out of the joint…..and, it went completely flat in 12 hours…..flat.
Wait! Come back!
You don’t understand! There’s real schadenfreude to be had …following developments in it’s 2106-2019 insane ‘coin-offering” inflation, bubble popping and absolute “in a moment” deflating…sure to come next…and soon!……(right after one last orgiastic Boom)….. ye non-crypto invested… .breathtaking, gut-wrenching schadenfreude IS on the horizon!
It doesn’t get any better than this! You just wait and see!
And I am becoming more and more convinced the Open, Public, Immutable Ledger of Truth will play a role in facilitating trade and solidifying a peaceful, multi-polar world……………. after the Forces of Evil get REKT!
Not as big a role as BRI…but a role, nevertheless.
So you see, Alabama, all the profit politically and personally-financially lies in following the solving of these puzzles BEFORE global adoption……while it is all smaller than Face Book and Google combined.
Not afterward! Before HUGE size, Sean….precisely early….when it IS so tiny!
THAT’s where all the creative Action and Traction is!
All creativity, all profit, ALL REAL LOVE.for humanity..lies not in the Indicative Case of What IS Now.After the Creative Act……like a dead butterfly collection….but rather in the Subjunctive Case…….of What COULD be….what SHOULD BE…..in the near and far future!
What could, should, CAN metamorphosize from Larva…to Pupae……….to Butterfly!
So don’t be bored! Listen for just 10-15 minutes here, where the scene is set:
https://youtu.be/hgUat0Lb42E?t=2321
Starts with reportage of Maxine Waters telling FB to STOP their Libra-Coin blockchain………until non-Geeks like Maxine and the rest of us can get a handle on…can comprehend what On Earth is Happening…with this Crypto-Mess….and then goes into the predicted implosion of (almost) the entire “Sphere”….
I have some music to make the point of the Nuttiness of the Crypto Orgy Which Must End.
But not now, …maybe in the morning…….since It’s One of the Stupidest Songs I ever heard in my life..(though it’s perfect for Lightning Network Orgiastic Disaster) .and wouldn’t lead to deep rest and renewal ….which I will now enjoy, from your link and hopefully then sleep like a baby…….
Thank you.

== Don't you see? it's over and you have only yourself to blame: you created an alleged enemy you spat at in every text of yours until somebody listened to you and banned your hate target, not because he had just done something wrong, but just because you asked for it. And now, having your Friedhofsruhe – you are still not content?
Makes one wonder about your Bindungen and Verbindungen… ==

Bro, according to Neon, his shortened compacted explanation, one needs to be really good at math to really take part in the cryptocoin world. I’ll take his word, he plays in the game. That rules me out, I hate math, unless I’m building something, then it kinda comes in handy, but otherwise it also rules out 99.9.9.9% of most people. We gotta eat.
The whole thing, for whatever reason, reminds me of the ‘freedom 55’ bs that was being tossed out for the past 30 yrs (pre 2008). Not sure if it was just a five eyes thing or many countries were selling it. Freedom 55; start investing now while you are young, and poof, when you are 55, you can retire. I know lots of retirees who played the “invest in the market Freedom 55”, many now in their sixties, some still working in their 70s because they got hosed by the hossers(canadian word). That’s why cryptos have my bs metre on high alert.
For those smart peeps out there, for cryptos, fill your boots, more power to ya. But, be cautious, cause when it smells so good……………….there’s a pile waiting to be stepped in somewhere.
Sean: The real extensive range of questions…regarding the best and worst of the Cryptosphere……. from the societal/civilizational good AND bad implications to the personal finance ones………….are not framed in any short comment…………but the answers come anyway…mostly from the experience and predispositions of most readers………and yours is not an unreasonable one at all. From the personal household perspective.
That perspective is not nothing…………..but neither is it very much, in the Grand Scheme of things…and I know that! Compared to the drama in the Straits of Hormuz, for example, which might affect a few Billion X more than the gain or loss of a single player in any market…….and a few of his or her dependents…..or possibly heirs.
Small potatoes…in the Bigger Picture!
As relief from the nail biting tension I might have added more, but today was a busy in the field day…so this will have to do for now….
For those who made their decision to opt out and not think about being a minor player that is fine, of course. Early birds get the worms, however…even if they are just worms of understanding!
ALSO, even a non-action is an action in the overall sense. Even if the player is “on the bench”, by choice………they are still……a bench player…that is warming it, at least………LOL.
Others like a little action, to learn faster.
Still from the safety of the bench, there are some societal aspects which I believe are worthy of investigation and understanding. Later…..
Cheers!
Per, beautiful song, beautiful prayer, thank you for sharing ! I read the comments too…
Donald Trump warned Tehran about an imminent attack as retaliation for a downed US drone, also giving “limited” time to respond, Reuters says. Trump reportedly ordered the strikes, but then pulled back.
The US president “gave a short period of time to get our response but Iran’s immediate response was that it is up to Supreme Leader [Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei to decide about this issue,” an Iranian official told the news agency.
https://sputniknews.com/world/201906211076002974-iran-received-message-from-trump-on-possible-strike-overnight-via-oman—report/
We’re on the brink people …
Oh boy, the plot thickens. Maybe it was this that made Mr Trump change his mind last night and call of shooting Iran.
Iran refrained from targeting US plane with 35 on board flying with downed drone – Iranian commander
https://www.rt.com/news/462387-iran-refrained-shooting-us-plane/
Moon of Alabama has some initial analysis:
https://www.moonofalabama.org/2019/06/white-house-pushes-trump-pulled-back-story-he-likely-never-approved-to-strike-iran.html#more
(I can also hear The Saker’s words in my ears – we have to wait for the dust to settle).
We need a tab at the top to keep the Iran subject comprehensive what we know sp far for certain what is speculative etc compiled as more info is coming out although I am unsure about the validity of the story various Iran ships being damaged or on fire elsewheres apart from the two incidents mainly mentioned in western press… updated etc? So …it means all the plans were made well before ( increasing my view this is all one big provocative setup)and risk assessed for exactly what were they going to do hit Iran….
Well, so far the US cannot bring together a ‘coalition of the willing’, Iran has grabbed the diplomatic advantage and one does not know what is a lie and what is accurate. The Saker will probably weigh in I would expect on the bigger overall picture. My own expectation is that there will be lots of words but we may be just past the point of no return and nothing is going to fly through the sky from the US side to make big bangs right in the next few days. (So she says hopefully). The gossip is that Tucker Carlson ‘talked’ Trump out of striking.
I’m basically following Elijah Magnier on his twitter: https://twitter.com/ejmalrai?lang=en and reading what he comes up with from there. He just wrote a piece here
https://ejmagnier.com/2019/06/21/iran-and-trump-on-the-edge-of-the-abyss/
and on his twitter he says Israel is in shock that the strikes were called off.
You probably do not want to know what I really think (grins). I think Iran called Trump’s bluff and all remains is for the US admin to try and save face some way or another. But hells bells, I may be wrong.
!
A previous post by Elijah that Iran had sent a subtle message by limpet mine via the first two tankers in dock I had doubts about ….but a good assessment in this one. Thanks for the link appreciated.
Iran showing it will be no pushover….just wish a few Chinese and Russian ships were present to show solidarity and actually some world leaders to publicly call out and tell Trump to get the hell out of the Gulf of Oman rather than just say the situation is critical.
Oh, this is far from over . The Israeli army was doing drills in this article , which if you read beyond the military jargon actually serving to disguise precisely what they were doing, is informative enough. Trump wants reelection, and according to HaAretz, the drill showed up weaknesses . The Israelis have about 16 months to remedy these.

While reading about independent contractors out of control with no supervision, I kept thinking about William Binney and Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS).
Followers of CA Fitts may have followed a group called BiggerThanSnowden,com, a web site (that now fails to open) that documents independent contractors “targeting individuals” for “mind control” experimentation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCGCAIC5dkE
I looked into it because I have an old friend who is an extreme example of “Targeted Individuals” living in Atlanta.
Putin ordered suspension of passenger flights to Georgia after anti-Russian riots. The riots were most likely backed by the U.S. A U.S. director of the National Security Council for Russia and also the foreign policy advisor for Biden, Michael Carpenter, had recently complained, on twitter, about all the Russian tourists in Georgia – speaking of it as an occupation and complaining about Russia buying up Georgian land.
