An excellent article, which I only got halfway through due to lack of time: https://www.mintpressnews.com/genesis-jeffrey-epstein-bill-clinton-relationship/261455/
Yes, Whitney Webb is amazing….on somebody’s show she just talks and talks, holding her audience, and the host sits back to relax and listen.
What she says is what everyone knows, deep down. She can give chapter and verse going back to Genesis. I wonder how she would do reporting live in action.
Jenise Fernandes reported non stop onsight as Dorian hit the eastern Bahamas…Channel 10 Miami news. She held us spellbound for several hours. We were all praying for her and the cameraman and the hotel. Check it out on YTube
This cool headed but warm hearted reporting is a treasure…I remember Edward R Murrow.
I got a similar feeling to watching or reading Webb decades ago when first reading Chomsky. It confirmed all my suspicions about the USA and the glorious West, but it took a while to read, and check some of the foot-notes at the library. But not a word of any of these facts ever entered the Free Press. In fact Chomsky was and remains a hated figure among MSM presstitutes, like Pilger, Assange and others.
Chomsky used to appear on the Government-owned ABC Radio, even his CBC Massey Lectures about deterring democracy through ‘Manufacturing Consent’ in the MSM. But after the Howardisation and, later, the Murdochisation, of the ABC after 1996, he and Pilger et al, were disappeared, in tribute to Our Moral Values of stupidity, pig ignorance, groveling service to power and all-round fifth-ratedness.
Mulga
Greg Hunter of US Watchdog has referred to Chomsky as a “commie wacko job”…I think you and I both know who the wacko job is…and it ain’t Chomsky.
Cheers
Col
PS He calls me the same thing…and worse!
Chomsky is an anarchist, quite anti-communist, and Herr Hunter is just another hard Right cretin, if you’ll forgive the tautology.
Agree, excellent article by whitney webb, who is truly remarkable; what hit me was the detail on the involvement of AG Barr, who worked directly for casey, ray gun’s cia director.
Barr was involved up to his eyeballs in the iran contra scandal and the mena airport guns and drug running “game” with clinton to include the coverup and pardons. One of the key figures in the actual operation, barry seal, was arkancided.
details under sub heading in the article:
Iran Contra, Mena Airport and the Clintons
Not a very confidence inspiring aspect to the prospect that barr and his DOJ really is interested in the pursuit of justice on the brennan coup kabuki.
As I understand, there is a saying that there are no ex-spies, just dead spies and those that continue “the trade.”
Speaking of the AG, I just had to bid on a copy of Donald Barr’s Space Relations: A Slightly Gothic Interplanetary Tale with the idea that I wouldn’t actually win, that I would keep the other bidders honest, make them, as it were, “to work for it.”
It came in the mail today. I can’t say that I am proud of myself, but now I am obliged to read it. I am confident that I lack the critical chops to winnow anything worthwhile, but if I find something I’ll share it.

A very good interview with Dmitry Orlov on collapsing the technosphere.
https://hermitix.podiant.co/e/collapse-and-the-technosphere-with-dmitry-orlov-37ae33c5169b56/
Interesting ideas by D.O. not unique, I must ad. I wonder however, how many are paying attention – maybe 5 from 100 – because there is a talk already about the technosphere collapse for years. How would that collapse look like, how bad will be in terms of affected areas, what would be the reaction primordially by the states, how long will last,etc….a lot of questions can arise. There is also the preparedness of the states and of the peoples themselves. Logically, the most affected areas would be those with the most widespread technological use…The large majority of people are not prepared for any such scenarios, there is a trust of convenience in those at command and in a better future (indifferent of their actual political attitude), but as Orlov noted at the beginning, the Soviet Union was a different pie, that collapse was not total due to the one-party-one government policy which was still in place at that time so that the basics were still functioning for the country. It has to be marked though, that the people of Soviet Union were “trained” very well by their historical past, they new how to survive. But today ? with the emergence of “democratic values” , when people became more and more individualistic ?
The guns make technological collapse so much more problematic in the USA. Particularly when the meat runs out and the carnivores start sizing up the ‘long pork’.
One solar mass ejection event like the Carrington Event of 1859, and the technosphere will collapse back to oil lamps and goose quills.
… my interest was really captured about 22 minutes into the podcast and I have contacted the author to share my experience of what I feel is systemic decay. Dmitry has positively replied … more later; all in due course.
Intriguing analysis by Elijah J. Magnier, always good informed on the Iranian side, about the actual tensions between the IDF and Hezbollah: https://ejmagnier.com/2019/09/02/hezbollahs-response-strategy-was-imposed-by-netanyahus-bad-luck/
Magnier postulates that the IDF used suicide drones. One of them failed, resulting in having proof for Hezbollah that the IDF was behind the attacks (though I find it hard to imagine which other party it could be), thus getting support of the Lebanese government.
The danger that the parties are tiptoeing around, is outright war. Therefore Hezbollah even refrained from shooting at a trespassing IDF boat.
Cheers, Rob
The Israeli Death Forces swore revenge after Hezbollah kicked their Chosen Arses in 2000 and 2006. IDF capi openly bragged of spreading the Dahiya Doctrine to all of southern Lebanon, making the civilian population the prime target in true Torah and Talmud tradition.
LOL, distracted by news about hurricane Dorian and the burned down diver’s ship, the oil tanker Adrian Darya (former Grace 1) has gone dark yesterday. Latest data: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:35.0/centery:34.7/zoom:9
I wouldn’t be surprised, considering distance and latest speed, that the tanker has already dropped anchor at the port of Tartus.
This isn’t about the tanker alone. It’s a truth or dare game imho, to show that the USA is far from almighty in trying to block Iran’s trade.
Cheers, Rob
Hopefully no “magnetic” mines so called will be used by various ” interested parties” if you see what mean…..still unknown who did previous ones.
If the tanker is at the port of Tartus, it’s in Syrian territorial waters and under the umbrella of the Russian Navy.
Since the tanker is far too large (deep) for the terminals of both the ports of Tartus and Banyas (this might have been the sweet decoy, LOL), it would make sense to unload the tanker into smaller tankers -this takes time, but can now done relatively safe- and ship them to Banyas, where there is a large oil refinerie. They can stay in territorial waters and, well, maybe a Russian ship will sail with them, just for company you know. It’s not far, some 40 km.
I don’t expect a last minute attack. Would you take the risk? That would also imply a nasty answer. And then eventually much more is at stake than just a tanker. The people really calling the shots don’t like to have their dear money too much in danger, I guess.
Cheers, Rob
Candles, tears & heartbreaking memories at memorial for deadly 2004 Beslan school siege
Published time: 1 Sep, 2019
Parents, relatives, teachers and survivors have gathered for a three-day memorial vigil to mourn
the 334 victims, mostly children, who perished in the Islamist-inspired school massacre 15 years

Fairly grim article on the casualties of the Yellow Vests: evident police motives to maim and permanently injure-remarkable in a very bad way:
https://www.globalresearch.ca/real-victims-france-yellow-vest-revolution/5687826
And yet, the FakeMedia is wall to wall with “Oh, baaaaaad Chinese regime, they used tear gas again in HongKong…”, but the YellowJackets have been memory-holed, even on DuckDuckGo.
The FakeMedia agenda aiding Macron is just as obvious as it is against China.
Huge congratulatations to Daniil Medvedev who just reached the US Open semi finals!! The ungracious New York crowd are having a collective temper tantrum..what a joy to behold ! But seriously, what is wrong with the US public? Their booing and abominable behaviour towards foreign world class athletes is shocking…the rowdy mobs of the colosseum right before the fall of the Roman Empire come to mind…..
Naomi Osaka who won the US open last year (and was also viciously booed) is loving it!!!

I remember back in the early 1970s in new york, the new york baseball fans threw things at the opposing team players. The new york team had to go around the field and ask their fans to stop. Something about new york that brings out the worst in people. Unfortunately, that new york govno attitude has now spread throughout the country, though pindo sports fans have a long history of very poor behaviour. It’s probably a genetic defect… ;-D
Down in Florida in the 1970s and 1980s, there were occasions reported in the newspaper when there would be an international diving competition at the Olympic-level center for diving in Ft. Lauderdale. All would go well until a Russian guy would be just about to do his dive, then some patriotic activist would run over and throw red paint of blood or something into the water, which would of course disrupt the event, make it impossible for the Russian to do his routine, and delay the entire event for a day or so. Too bad the security had no way to prevent such demonstrations of patriotism.

‘Stay out of our business’: Trump slams Sadiq Khan after golf jibe… but can he take his own advice?
https://www.rt.com/news/467906-trump-khan-dorian-golf/
Perhaps a necessary first step towards healthy political reform would be to ban golfers from holding political office? ;-D
A good first step of political reform is for mayors to look after their cities first, before insinuating themselves into the arena of world leaders. That great pretender, Khan, of the permanent scowl, ought to first deal with knife murders in his city.
Khan has no power to raise income tax. The main source of knife crime is poverty https://www.london.gov.uk/press-releases/mayoral/full-links-between-poverty-and-violent-crime
Get the great “World leaders” Trump & Boris to address the cause of the problem instead of adding to it. Trump has already decreased marginal US Income tax https://www.investopedia.com/taxes/trumps-tax-reform-plan-explained/ (top rate from 39.6% to 37%).
Exactly, Anonymous, Khan has little influence over the crime rate in London. I’m not much of a Khan fan, but any needling he gives the dump is ok with me*. In fact I’m fine with any criticism of that zionazi-gay quisling so long as it isn’t bs misdirection nonsense like the Russian collusion theater.
For knife killings on London streets, we could look at the killers’ nationalities, religious affiliations, last country of residence, etc… all of which will point Khan to the root of the problem: recent (illegal?) immigrants. But he wdn’t go there, would he? Better to be the idiot who don’t have the information and so, can’t solve the problem (plausible denial) than the idiot who has the data, but who still can’t solve the problem.
Khan, of the perpetual black face, is in charge of London’s public safety, not Britain’s taxation, so please do not absolve him by setting up the straw man of taxation policy.
“For knife killings on London streets, we could look at the killers’ nationalities”
I guess you’ll be blaming those pesky, er, “blacks” in America for all the knife crime there too.
‘Divide and Rule’ along racist lines is one of the ruling parasites’ oldest tactics.
Looking may well prove your point that knife crime is evenly distributed across all peoples.
Looking is not blaming. Looking is objective science.
Not looking is the ‘science’ of political correctness.
Not looking is to live in the fool’s comforting ignorance.
It is to let Empire continue its predation on good people,
and on ‘good’ people such as I hope do not include you.
Your emphasis is racialist, and mine social and class-based. You appear to have a poor opinion of certain people based on their race, ethnicity and religion. Am I correct? If so, then you are seriously misguided. It is social deprivation that drives most social pathology. How could it be otherwise?
Absolute cobblers, as the English say. Social conditions dictate most violence, not race. And ‘..of the perpetual black face..’, is just nassty.
Khan’s black face refers to demeanour, as in a perpetual scowl, unless the reader thinks that ‘black’ must always refer to skin colour? unless the reader stands with book-burning idiots who ban ‘black’ because it is ‘so very offensive’? unless the reader has fallen into Empire’s trap of making us think along rigid railroad-straight lines of ‘proper thought’?
Is it a valid observation that the sudden increase of knife murders generally followed the sudden (think Merkela’s “make-illegal-immigration-great-again”) rise of illegal immigration of Southern peoples into London?
Is it a valid observation that the knife murders themselves followed the particular rise in murder-by-truck in London, which itself followed the ( again, sudden ) rise in illegal immigration of Southern peoples into London?
[ For this discussion, I focus only on London, and I did not say America, so please do not stray. ]
And while it is true that social conditions and knife murders do co-exist, yet, is co-existence causal? There are other cities in Britain, but are knife murders in those cities so numerous? and did they increase suddenly?
Khan has good british civil servants & good well-meaning british policemen enough to manage public safety, if he will only push it, but no, other priorities come first.
What priorities? might they not be to oppose, belittle, ridicule, obstruct, slow down Trump?
Why? Trump is from another country — LOL — if not to carry water for Empire?
Might he be planning to buy a martha’s vineyard mansion next to the mansion of the other great pretender with the black face ( demeanour, please, not skin )?
Don’t be so disingenuous. If you meant scowl, say scowl. Good God-it’s ‘Southern people’ creating all this mischief, is it? How far south? Do we Antipodeans, being most ‘southern’ qualify as most dangerous? Or do you just mean South London? And the terrorist murders by fanatics LONG known to the security services (particularly in the Manchester atrocity)have nothing ie zilch, nada, zero, to do with knife crime in poor areas of London, much associated with the drug trade.
Our embarrassment is not yours to enjoy.I dislike Trump and Khan in equal measure-let them fight it out on the Golf Course of their choice-I suggest the 9th at Dunottar Castle.
In the business of stopping the Empire’s war on Russia (surely, this site’s purpose?), there is no “likes” or “dislikes” of the personalities of the actors, only interests that tend towards war, or interests that tend away from war on Russia.
We can agree, more or less, what “war” is, and we know whom “Russia” is. But who is “Empire”?
Trump’s rise to presidency has been followed by much sunlight shining on his intelligence agencies; his bureaucrats, the obama administration; the entire fakestream media / big tech / hollywood complex, wall street, Israel, and, significantly, Britain.
For all the good that Trump has done, or not done, what we do see on the outside is that possibly, probably, more than likely, he is being pulled erratically by internecine warfare between white hats versus black hats.
No matter if Trump ‘succeeds’ or ‘fails’ or is ‘arkancided’, the last three years alone have revealed the power behind the curtain — there are powerful and determined enemies of Trump at work daily to frustrate, terminate, reverse his best works, highlight his worst. Some enemies hide in deep cover. Other enemies make themselves obvious by public opposition against Trump, ridiculing, belittling, insulting him, often without good ostensible reason.
Khan, of the permanent scowl, is such an enemy of Trump. In as much as he opposes the person — and solely the person — of Trump, and that from the very beginning, Khan reveals he opposes all of Trump, dismissing whatever good Trump might do. Likely, Khan is on the side of Empire, not forgetting that his ward includes (impinges?) on The City Of London, which some say, is the very heart of Empire.
So, shining light on Khan is watching Empire in the actions of one of its minions. This mayor who would be statesman reveals more than he thinks.
Nothing to like or dislike there.
The empire consists of a bunch of Kleptocrat’s (including Trump) from a bunch of different places, including Russia.
I didn’t like Khan before you mentioned he is an enemy of Trump.
Trump and good in the same breath is oxymoronic.
I agree that the Empire we speak of here is not a geographic grouping, but is a mindset, where love of money and love of power predominate to the point of psychopathy.
The world is so confusing unless our eyes are opened to Empire’s strategic aim: denying the rise of the baaaaaad rivals, Russia and China; dominating global resources for profit; dominating global labour for profit; dominating water / food resources for profit. They have a high-sounding, self-congratulating, arrogant name for it — full spectrum dominance, but it is all just an aim, an intention, not a fact.
The world is made even more crazy, difficult to understand, because Empire, in following its strategic aim, is executing several contemporaneous tactical moves depending on which is most easily achievable at lowest cost, and depending on whether its victims are easily swallowed or if they fight back effectively. Examples of currently effective resistance to Empire dominion are Syria; Venezuela; Hong Kong.
The world is not a dichotomy of good and bad, right versus wrong. Leaders are like that. You and I are like that too. Aren’t we all 50 shades of good and bad inside? So, to say that Trump is all baaaaad is naive. Or that every action he takes cannot cause something good to follow. Or, since Trump is so baaaaad then his enemies must be all goooood.
Something crazy this way comes. No?
When Indiana, one of the last holdouts to adopt Daylight Savings time, went on DST, it was noticed that the suburban golf courses business picked up around Indianapolis, the Capitol.

Larks continued… thanks to Dimitar input.
Exaltation of larks
Show a man… the gallows
He will tell of many sorrows
Grinning nearer to the rope
Exhaled larks chirp no hope
His soul wipp’d cross shadows
In between skies and… crows
Wrestl’d clouds to push light in
Pourin’ down to wave off his sin
Sounds like a river or… brooks
Now swinging ‘tween two rocks
For all larks to see there’s a glow
From where new seeds will grow
In a glade by the wood
a man hangs dead;
They’d found a mote
in one of his eyes.
His soul, exhaled
dispersed and fled,
And walks through the clouds
of the morning skies.
Well, the river it sings
on its way to the sea,
As that murder of crows
caws with delight.
The baby it coos
on its mother’s knee,
And the seeds they’ll grow
till they reach their height.
The lark it sings
a merry song,
heedless of
the world of woe.
Far beyond
the teeming throng,
That only the winged
may ever know.
The water, the stone,
the weight each bears;
Carried a mile
against all hope.
The things men do,
raising their heirs;
To fill in the time
and escape the rope.
The river it sings
on its way to the sea
As that murder of crows
caws with delight.
The baby it coos
on its mother’s knee,
And the seeds they’ll grow
till they reach full height.
Canada Accused of Promoting Holocaust Revisionism with Memorial in Ukraine

‘Anarchy in the UK’. I’m observing it from the bloody continent with rising amazement:
https://www.rt.com/uk/467914-parliament-brexit-vote-galloway/
It’s nothing new that the authorities do something that is 180 degrees other than what its population wants. The way it is performed is hilarious, in a nation that is proud to be the mother of parliamentary democracy.
Last week BoJo gave the impression that there was some kind of ‘secret and cunning plan’ to get a new deal, but now I’ve the impression that unfortunately this is so secret that even BoJo doesn’t know it, and if it wasn’t BoJo wouldn’t understand it anyway.
I’ve often wondered what the UK did in the EU anyway:
-They still don’t know at what side of the road they should drive.
-They must exist, but I have to meet the first Brit that took the effort to learn at least 1 foreign language.
-Contrary to largely the rest of the world, they still use measurements like ‘feet’, ‘inch’, ‘gallon’ from medieval times; in the engineering world we call this *funny units*.
-They consider themselves as the foundation of Football, and the Premier League being a Walhalla, but the English national team hasn’t won a decent prize since 1966, and even that one was highly debated.
-The British kitchen should be forbidden in any developed nation. Breakfast is ridiculous, the invention of ‘mint sauce’ is the biggest culinary insult to mankind, and beer is extracted from horses.
-The systems on their nuclear armed Trident Subs are still running on Windows XP.
-Ok, I grant them that they gave the world Monty Python. Unfortunately also the NHS.
And this nation is run by clowns. Really, maybe a few years from now, a series of this will be made for HBO, Netflix or whatever, but what actors should play these blokes? It is that he is no longer among us, but the only one I could came up with was Marty Feldman, and then he should play all roles.
If I were a Brit, I would be embarrassed to the bone. ‘Your tax money at work’.
Cheers, Rob
I picked up bits and pieces yesterday on videos and it was really funny. Gives the truth to statements such as:
Bread and Circuses
Fiddling while Rome burns
the Emperor has no clothes
And really, how do these idiotic people get where they are? Voting obviously is not doing it for humankind and as they say .. If Voting changed anything, we would never be allowed to do it.
It is both run by clowns and populated by idiots – the biggest fraction of the popular vote in the 2017 General Election was for the Tories (at 42.4%).
The Tories won a ‘landslide’ in 2015 on 36% of the vote on a 66% turnout, ie 24% of the electorate. This is the ‘democracy’ that the compradore vermin in Hong Kong are demanding.
Things are equally bizarre out of the White House. I follow Trump’s twitter and yesterday he tweeted one weather report after the other about the hurricane the whole day long, he insulted China and I think the Mayer of London or somebody – that was his full tweet history. And today he is holding up an old hurricane cone forecast graphic, apparently ‘fixed’ by hand to include Alabama .. really … https://sputniknews.com/viral/201909041076724876-weatherman-not-required-trump-presents-altered-hurricane-map-falsely-showing-alabama-in-danger/

I’m not embarrassed by these people, I am just totally overawed at the visible story of it all .. there is no way that one can identify with these in the UK or in the White House – can we clone Putin? Create like six or so more Putins? to restore sanity?
That is one hideous dress.. together with the fake yellow hair and very poor posture..she looks terrible!
What about Kenneth Williams in full, manic, ‘Round the Horn’ form? Or perhaps the Goons, or John Le Mesurier as Sgt. Wilson? All the good uns are dead. Tony Hancock!

UK is a dangerous tyranny and not a democracy.
News today are not mainstream (John Pilger). We should stop using the word MSM (mainstream media it is false)(John Pilger).
Maybe a word like corporate news is quite accurate. It means that the news (media) is corrupt and fascist when government turn fascist. It is also the proof that governments are puppets of the very same corporations. And governments are supposed to implement laws on behalf of the people. It is not so. Governements implement laws on behalf of the corporations. EU is a fascist dictatorship by design, UK is not. But the results are the same. USA is not, but it is corrupted. The result is the same.
Because we (the people) have decided long ago that there is a democracy in power in which people have wishes and rights, and that politicians are there to carry out those rights and wishes, and that these rights and wishes are made into laws. It is not so. It is taken over by the corporate interest, in USA corporate interest is corrupted into national interest. They run the news! No-one else run the news!
Open your eyes John Pilger. You have been an idealist and been a great author and journalist perhaps, but everything has been corrupt all the time. It is only the policies of the corporations that has changed. The whole corruption scheme has been widely uncovered therefore they end the obsolete democracy idea that just was an illusion anyway. There has never been a democracy.
Regarding uncovering, search for Udo Ulfkotte for example, a german hero who they killed (as he left the CIA mockingbirds and spoke out ). But it is true like John Pilger also said, the journalists have given up. They either go with the program or they are no “journalist”. So journalism is dead.

Vladivostok conference: per RT reporting.
What an unbeatable combination: the best mathematical establishment ( India) on the planet unites with the best rocket scientists ( Russia). Now to send some young, skilled Russian technocrats who understand planning and earth friendly development and who are dedicated to making life better for everyone to the area to replace the old naysayer bureaucrats there.
Jeez, the man who whined to Putin? What was he thinking???!!! Neglect? Get out the way!
Kutuzov after the battle of Borodino and before the various commanders submitted their death totals in a fury tossed out the whiner who counseled retreat…Raevsky whose command was totally decimated and left on the field did walk in next with a plan for counter attack for the following day and was received graciously. But later, the Russian army, after a late night meeting and assessment, ended up pulling up stakes and leaving immediately back to Moscow. Strategy dictates tactics.
One does what the situation requires, but not until then. And this is just as much a war as Borodino–a long haul war. It is just the 21st century version but the stakes are Human life on this earth not just Russian life.

Me question remains – what do they get? what do they actually get?
They got NOTHING from VVP the last time
VVP is BFF w Xi
Xi would know all about what the last stunt and all its sequence
So what do they get? or what do they ***think*** they will get?
or am I slow to realise they ***don’t*** think or have lost the thinking-ability?
My unfounded imagination is —> the REAL colour-revo (a very short term one trick pony circus-show) is to create chaos and force the money to flee to USSA (which they are gasping from their internal death).
And if they are lucky, they will push for part (or whole) control of HK, like cowboys riding in to save the weak and the meek, like the demanded war compensation for Opium war all over again – they want to use the same chaos tactics again regardless of collateral damage (same as they did to the native American Indians btw – kill them off (with absolutely no acknowledgement to their humans rights) and steal their land and slave their offspring). Some of the western gambit goes even further to think, as HK falls, CCP will crack up and the west will ‘rape and pillage’ the entire China, like they did with USSR so successfully, which funded them another hundred years.
Everything else is lipstick on the pigs… really… like POT.US cares about human rights? He then should first crippled the MIC in his front and backyard to begin with – NO?
Did they get the intended-desired free money? Dont seem so… If so, china would not have trade talk in USSA in Oct… or rather, USSA would NOT be bother with trade talks as soon as they get they ‘next fix’ even if its so preposterously short! A tweet for one minute of market high? Anyone?
Bill is withdrawn but the colour-revo is still on… Is this really to cater for 1 Oct? If so, what happens after 1 Oct? What’s with the ‘catch and release’ show btw?
By my unfounded imagination, in the hidden game, somebody is seriously selling their country short… just don’t know which side/one is the “traitor”?!
I am beginning to think china may choke HK to ‘death’ and blame it on USSA… As mention HK has full potential (hot and hush money, old Brit regime, established east-meet-west spies network, national strategic location, Hk ultra rich, Chi ex-premier rumoured base, colour-revo student leader/participants side-kick incentive scheme, HK population as collateral damage etc) to change the land map of the current know world, def the ‘money’ world. And then CCP can usher in their ‘brave new world’ clean slate… is POT.US a highly-paid-insider or is POT.US an useful idiot?!
There are already talks that the colour-revo (as sponsored by the foreign regimes) has violated the old 50yr agreement, which would allow CCP to suspend 2047 delay, by the agreed law, and move in ‘tomorrow’ lawfully. (such as VVP took back Crimea) Is that why the military rotation (allegedly 50K) moved in last wk?! And shown in uncensored HD full broadcast?! The the bill is withdrawn thereafter as if it is hinting it is now ‘one country one system’? What extradition?! You are already in ONEChina, dear color-revo.
If that were to happen ‘tomorrow’, to begin with, what will happen to the USD-HKD link? If that is broken, like the trade-talk with no clear resolution or intention for clear resolution, would that be the seek-after killshot from the east for the ‘KING’ in the west? A pearl in the east is the poison pill for the west? Who will sink with the old queen mother ship? Some serious narrative there.
Let’s not forget The Switch!
HK blows up = all fiat+digital game blows up = pure physical + military/black ops/alien-toys fireworks + hotstuff is the only game in town!
Fast and furious is not just the movie title for your entertainment only… just as Dorian.
Of course, there could be a narrative that USSA actually got lucky! Murky waters indeed.
Hand of god is still the hand of god. Let’s not underestimate that.
What do ‘they’ get? What do ‘they’ actually get?
To know the game, we need to first figured out the players.
Nuff w my unfounded imagination…
Let’s try hard not to be anyone’s ‘collateral damage’ grade. Pls be safe.

( some folks in Hong Kong need to wake up and change their mindset before it’s too late to “jump on the band-wagon” )
There are thousands of Taiwanese and non-Chinese etc working in Shenzhen, because the Chinese welcome collaboration, Shenzhen is the global centre of hardware development and seed money is easily available. And, generally, the Chinese are trustworthy and reliable business parties. None of this is reported by our Free Press in Austfailia, who invariably paint China as a Hell on Earth, or the New Nazis or a cyber-threat, or something or other else, but always, as in the days of the Gold Rush, the Yellow Peril.
And compradore vermin from Hong Kong are on Austfailian media constantly (no voices, Chinese or local, contradicting the treacherous scum are allowed to appear, WHATSOEVER, in dedication to our beloved ‘Freedom of Opinion’), lying their dirty faces off, claiming that the rioters are ‘non-violent’ and the police guilty of repression. No local presstitute dares call out their lies of course-their careers depend on 100% ideological reliability, and hatred of China is now a sort of pseudo-religious cult among these vermin. One superannuated feminazi hag even ended an interview concerning ‘dark energy’ and the fate of the universe with a snide anti-China comment this morning. But racism has nothing to do with it, so they assure us.

There are plenty of videos on Youtube of these compradore scum, like the loathsome Joshua Wong, meeting their US paymasters, testifying in the US Congress as to their hatred of China and loyalty to the West, and their role as the ‘front-line in the war on China’. One slimy female liar made plain on our TV yesterday that they would now concentrate on disrupting China’s 70th anniversary of the PRC on October 1, usually reported by the moronic scum local presstitutes as the founding of the hated Chinese Communist Party, not the state. I do very much hope that after October 1, as the compradore demands grow ever greater, in true Gene Sharp, ‘Colour Revolution’ fashion, that the Chinese move in, grab the leading compradores, and invite the others to eff off to their Nirvanas in the USA and what will be left of the UK. This cancer needs excising.
Stillness
Just gone anywhere
Interlude is in place
In midst of a sphere
Watch this… space
Could only be a dot
As big as our sun
To roast on the spot
Either rise or… run
Ashes to… ashes
Dust to more dust
Erased in dashes
Yet… quite robust
Quiet but vanished
Infinitely everywhere
Yesteryears eclipsed
Are you still… there
Au Revoir
If you ask me, I’m still here
Together with my shadow
Jumping over there
From the hills down in the meadow
And you’re right with human drama
It’s not just comic, not just tragic
Its intense, like panorama
And I search where is the logic
If I’ll find it, I’m alright
And if not, god bless the world
Shorter days and longer nights
Hallelujah to the Lord !
today we will write
simple haiku to remind
us of who we are
a single pearl drop –
deep within the human heart,
crying out for love
singing a sad tale
of separation and loss –
will it ever end?
this world and that world –
the difference a hair’sbreadth;
which one do you want?
to see, know and be –
the secret of creation
lies within the soul
lost, but not forgotten;
love is too fine a flame
to not rise to the surface
again and again and again

Several maternal fluoride-offspring IQ studies should provoke moratorium on fluoridation
https://www.news-medical.net/news/20190831/Several-maternal-fluoride-offspring-IQ-studies-should-provoke-moratorium-on-fluoridation.aspx
Paul Connett, PhD, FAN Executive Director, says:
“For years promoters of fluoridation have argued that there is no harm from fluoridation; these and other studies indicate that there is potential harm and it is serious. It is unconscionable to continue fluoridation until this is resolved. For those who doubt the current findings more studies can be done once a moratorium on fluoridation is in place. To do otherwise is to condone a human experiment on millions of children.
To ignore brain health and continue fluoridation in name of dental health is a huge disservice to the children of this country. FAN argues that there are more effective programs to reduce dental inequities (eg, ‘Childsmile’ in Scotland) and communities can easily implement them.”
Paul
Fluoride is a neurotoxin, so too is mercury.
We are very slow learners indeed…even slower when we regularly drink Fluoride and mend tooth cavities with mercury.
Many people knew that Mercury had disastrous effects on health 200 years ago. The term “mad as a hatter” came into being because of the observation that so many hat makers ended up losing their sanity…mercury was commonly used in the manufacturing process.
If memory serves me correctly [and it probably doesn’t because I had a mouth full of mercury amalgam for nearly 50 years until I had them all removed] mercury is well towards the top of the poison charts and fluoride is only just below lead!
Apologies Paul…the above post was from me.

Fairly brutal article on zionist fifth column (over a year old); stumbled on this article searching for background on Sigal Mandelker, who was born in Israel and may still be an israeli citizen. She is Asst Secretary of Treasury in charge of office applying sanctions on Iran. It would be an understatement to say that she has applied these sanctions in a brutal and totally unjust manner (if sanctions could ever have any aspect of being just).

Hatred, genocidal hatred, is the Zionazis’ existential fuel. As the ‘accidental’ Jew, Madeleine Albright observed, with true Talmudic venom, the deliberate murder of 500,000 Iraqi children under five, killed by the US/UK imposed ‘sanctions of mass destruction’, was, indeed, ‘Worth it’, as her questioner asked. Good God-even Himmler would have blanched at that, but the she-Devil was totally relaxed, even nonchalant.
Speaking of evil, Samantha power is out with a new book (I will not link for obvious reasons) But the primary endorsement comes from, wait, Madelaine albright-gad!
Power’s evil R2P policy is/was responsible for the killing and destruction in every country upon which cast a gaze.

The Future of the Spectacle … or How the West Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Reality Police
C.J. Hopkins • September 3, 2019 •
– If you want a vision of the future, don’t imagine “a boot stamping on a human face — for ever,” as
Orwell suggested in 1984. Instead, imagine that human face staring mesmerized into the screen of
some kind of nifty futuristic device on which every word, sound, and image has been algorithmically
approved for consumption by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (“DARPA”) and its
“innovation ecosystem” of “academic, corporate, and governmental partners.”

The UK is run by clowns, but I’m also starting to worry that some eerie drug is in the potable water in Washington.
They are now doing military drills in the Arctic: https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-09-04/navy-marine-corps-begin-arctic-war-exercise-counter-russia-and-china
There are some true jewels here. They want to show force and not allow China and Russia to develop a polar Silk Road, which is considered by the USA as a ‘threat’.
Let’s have this sinking in. When a container ship or freight carrier wants to sail from the area Korea, Japan or China to Europe, the present shipping time is around 6 weeks. When this can be reduced to 3-4 weeks, not only the shipping costs are lowered, but the delivery time reduction allows customers to lower their inventory (which is dead capital) as well. So, this is win-win.
Add to that, all that stuff on a Chinese containership like clothing, electronics might actually be trade from USA-based companies.
And how do they envision to *stop* that (free trade, the horror)? The USA couldn’t even stop an Iranian oil tanker heading for Syria, and now they are going into the pathetic mode by bribing the captain, and now offering a lousy $15MM reward for helping disrupting Iranian oil trade (rewarded by a trillion dollar a year budgeted military force). You can’t make this stuff up.
I’m getting tired from this scenario. Drop a few hundred troops at a border, and then starting with gibberish language like ‘showing force’ and ‘applying pressure’. If that is what they are looking for: buy a compressor or a hydraulic unit, that will give more results.
Lately the USA stationed some 600 troops in Guyana, at the border with Venezuela. That won’t even be enough to combat the street gangs of MS13 in USA cities.
So, I have an idea. For free, in case some USA gov employee reads here.
Lately, Trump let off a test balloon, probably filled with hot air, to buy Greenland – all that potential of unexplored minerals. But, they said no.
But hey, then why shouldn’t they propose something similar for buying Venezuela? It might even be cheaper than going to war for it, that would cost trillions of dollars with slim chances to archieve result.
Like the motto on the T-shirt of teranam13, ‘Find a way, not an excuse’ ;-)

Aah, the boss is back from hiding from a hurricane which is of course the absolutely correct thing to do. For the workers, it was a little holiday but any day now, the holiday will be over. I hope the next hurricane does not aim in our direction but floats by somewhere on the ocean leaving good rain in its wake. It is peak hurricane season September/October and in November things usually calm down, unless we have a late storm which has been known to happen. So, a word about models – we have a stack of what is generally called spaghetti models. Those are the ones that Trump is trying to hide behind, the ones from early on somewhere in August, after he played weatherman and scared the whole of Alabama with his wrong ‘predictions’. So, even with all these models developed over years, the track, strength and landing spots of hurricanes still is not an exact science and not even Trump playing weatherman can predict these things. Having lived in hurricane area for many years, models are a predictive tool, only in as much as things do not change – And Things Always Change. Other weather systems interfere, I’ve seen hurricanes do a full circle in the ocean and a few years ago there was one on the West coast of Mexico that they said climbed right over the Sierras (those are big mountains) and continued in the Gulf of Mexico. I thought it was weather modification because this was too much to believe.
So, let me write this now – before the boss gets into work mode. We have these climate change models. They are too narrow to predict anything. They are not predictive and climate, even if the IPCC stands on a big mountain and shouts that out, changes anyway. We are not able currently to model the complexity of nature and use that as a predictor of the future.
I said a few Cafe’s ago, that many new voices are speaking up about climate change. Of course the climate changes. Of course weather is fickle. Some of the new voices make me glad, because those are made up of pastoralists and ecologists and oceanographers and so on .. people with very long years of experience of observing the ebbs and flows of nature, climate, weather and our physical world. These people are also not strangers to a laboratory.
One thing is for sure, the Chinese are not buying the IPCC stuff any longer. This is a bit of a puff piece, but of course, I cannot read the languages, so, have to draw the real information from this. The Chinese say that their observations are that we are in short term cycles of 500 +- years. It is good to read this, because they find no ‘human’ made climate change as presented by our current wannabe overlords.
This is the basis of this article:
“A new study has found winters in northern China have been warming since 4,000BC – regardless of human activity – but the mainland scientists behind the research warn there is no room for complacency or inaction on climate change, with the prospect of a sudden global cooling also posing a danger.”

People are doing things – wonderful things. On coral reefs, they are fixing, re-seeding and generally almost rebuilding the reefs. Here are 3 articles describing the methods – some older, and a very new method that combines technology very beautifully with repairing our environment. They found they could literally ‘seed’ coral instead of transplanting bits of coral – it is effective and they made an underwater robot to seed coral faster than what humans can do it.

And then, an experienced ecologist tells the truth. He says that we can stop using fossil fuels tomorrow and it will hardly make a dent. But, he tells the truth about earth, land, grasslands is his main field of study and this is something that we never hear. If you are a farmer, an ecologist, a permaculturalist or any of those, you will recognize truth in your bones .. And once this happens, you will never listen to a less experienced human being again. 22 minutes and it is a slow presentation, but every word makes sense. Hear what he says about where the earth is warm, and where it is not. And apply that for example to how climate readings are made today. There is much to be applied in this lecture.

Nice and Timely Storm Points, amarynth……
“People are doing things – wonderful things.”
Indeed!
Polarity (Good-Evil, Wisdom-Ignorance, East-West, Freedom-Enslavement, Ying-Yang) is said to be one of the 7 inherent and necessary characteristic principles of the Universe.
In thinking about Imperial Rot from Epstein to False Flag Deception to Neocon Double-Down Commitment even 18 years after MILLIONS are on to their 911 stunt ……….one contemplates the Slow Moving Pendulum of Polarity….perhaps slowing….pausing …and then almost imperceptively …….swinging the other way……….from demonic doom to………..A Real Future For Coming Generations.
In thinking about many regulars here who clearly self-identify as Resisters to the Evils of Empire …….but IMHO sometimes make unfortunate errors of judgment……I ask myself “Why?”
Then I reflect on Leibniz’s “This Is The Best Of All Possible Worlds” conception…and the whining complaint it is met with “But what about this great evil and that one and the other one???” and his reply:
“Well, there IS error.”
And there HAS to be! Or else there is no rising to any occasion with Right Action………unless the Polar Opposite…Wrong Action…(.or NO Action, more commonly….LOL) also exists.
For The Good….Truth to manifest….. Perception of evil, wrong is a necessary first step. But not sufficient
Speaking it to others so that they also see……. is a necessary second step….but also….. not sufficient for The Good……or Love…to manifest.
What needs a lot more work and clarity is the last requirement: A Clear Conception of The Good.
In other words, Humanity that is not yet totally degraded…..we can ALL pretty much agree readily on What IS Bad….but common agreement on What is Good……is a far more challenging objective to reach!
99% of discussion is various degrees of accuracy regarding What I Am Against.
More emphasis needs to be put on……What I am FOR!
Starting there….and working back the other way …in terms of obstacle removal to the fuller manifestation of The Good…is IMHO a more productive approach than emphasis almost entirely on what one is against.
Here is one expression, one example of what I am for:
“The great thing about space travel is that it proves that we are not living in a closed system in which raw materials are limited and the murderous views of Thomas Malthus, Julian Huxley, Bertrand Russell, and Prince Philip are correct. On the contrary, we live in an anti-entropic universe. Space travel is the irrefutable proof that the universe “obeys” an adequate hypothesis of the human mind, and that there is therefore absolute coherence between the immaterial ideas produced by reason, and the physical laws of this universe, and that these ideas are the spearhead of the anti-entropic dynamics of the universe.”
If any fairly rigorously, universal idea of The Good is strongly grasped….and the Eyes Are Kept on The Prize………………..all kinds of remedies against evil emerge…remedies in abundance.…such as ones you have cited……………and infinitely more, on even larger scales:
“We can discover new scientific principles of the universe in which we live, without limits! And these qualitative discoveries mean that, unlike donkeys and monkeys, we are constantly able to redefine even what we consider to be resources, thereby making resources unlimited. We can continue to improve the livelihoods of humanity!
We are experiencing unprecedented, fascinating scientific revolutions: The Chinese are exploring the far side of the Moon with their Chang’e Moon missions. They plan to mine helium-3 as fuel for the coming fusion economy on Earth. And next year a Chinese mission to Mars will investigate the conditions for terraforming the red planet. India’s Chandrayaan 2 mission to the south pole of the Moon will explore the ice in the craters there, which are always in the shade. Water is one of the essential prerequisites for life on the Moon. The European Space Agency is working on concrete plans for international cooperation on a permanent Moon village! The U.S. is building upon the Kennedy Apollo program with its Artemis program, and Russia, the U.S., and China all see nuclear-powered spaceships as the right choice for future flights to Mars and deep into space!”
This vision may even horrify some of you reading this.
But to those, I say, “Ask yourself if you are not old….and jaded by the fight…discouraged by the lack of Good (evil) and even corrupted by the pessimism that the masters and minions of Empire are committed to entrapping you in??
In contrast to the youth in the photo accompanying the LPAC Lead the above quotes are taken from:
https://larouchepac.com/20190904/international-call-youth-age-reason-stars
And if so, please pause and reflect how it came to pass that you may share axioms of belief with the Masters of Discourse for the Empire, as much as you despise them…..as that is….quite likely…a fundamental indication……… of Regrettable Error in the Making.
All I can see from your quotation about ‘abundance’ with its juvenile slurs of really great individuals like Russell and Huxley, (Prince Phillip I can agree with), is that you are a devotee of science fantasy. Where is this ‘abundance’? 90% of large pelagic fish disappeared. 60% of large, non-domesticated, land animals disappeared in 40 years. Forests disappearing, world wide. Sea grass meadows, kelp forests and mangroves dying off across the planet. Coral reefs devastated by marine heatwaves. A Holocaust of insects threatening food-chains and pollination. In short, a sixth mass extinction in full spate.
There can be no ‘abundance’ without abundance of Life on Earth. Smoke dreams about Helium 3 and lunar ice (the Indians, sadly, seem to have crashed)Mars colonies and nuclear propulsion are simply mad when Life on Earth is being extirpated everywhere in a frenzy of egotistic greed.
Coral reefs are NOT making a ‘comeback’. That is idisinfo. In the real world scientists reported recently that re-establishment of coral on the Great Barrier Reef is down by 89% since the recent bleachings. And remember that there were no bleachings, as assayed from coral cores up to 800 years old, on the GBR until 1998 and there have been several since. Furthermore re-seeding is POINTLESS if bleachings occur with increasing frequency and strength.
As for models, real scientists say that, ‘All models are wrong, but some are useful’. Computer modeling is used in all facets of life, and I imagine you reject them all, just to be consistent. As for climate models, they have consistently improved both in prediction and also in ‘retrodiction’ to be consistent with paleoclimate evidence from tree rings, ice cores, mud-cores,pollen deposits etc.
And as for farmers, gardeners and permaculturalists etc, I know many and visit gardens regularly for a chat. I have not met any, for some years, who are not absolutely convinced that the weather and climate are rapidly changing, with no two years or consecutive seasons like the norm with which they grew up. Some deny that it is caused by human actions, but they are growing fewer and fewer-just the hard Right nutjobs are left these days.
For anyone needing to hear the truth of the GBR’s dire condition, listen to ABC RN radio today’s ‘Roundtable’ on Sunday Extra. Three experts of the Reef, all telling the truth of its catastrophic condition. One or two more mass bleachings away from TOTAL devastation.
Besides a deeper dive into what we might be “for”, more precisely and rigorously….we can’t allow deflection of perception of what we’re against ……….evil that Epstein is just the “tip of the iceberg” of …….by people who are professional gate keepers for Empire.
Some in the Alt-media are taken in by them, but some are not. All, even the best, make an occasional mistake and require correction. I at least TRY to remain aware of that fact and make adjustments almost daily.
Now the following is going to be “hard to swallow”….and I certainly hope so!:
Two campaigns of deflection and damage control are underway right now…in response to the partial rude awakening caused by the Epstein Affair:
1. DEEP FAKES: The Idea that video evidence in general has to be doubted. That it is ALL suspect. This comes into play with an increasing push right now for the idea of “Deep Fakes”….the idea that people can take any personality (like Hillary, or Barack Obama, for example) and alter video and audio (using voice recognition technique, AI or whatever and fake any video evidence about anyone……….without any means of detection! (I am of the persuasion that this notion is false…..and that experts CAN detect audio-video alteration and faking…whereas you and I viewing something “unbelievable” should always reserve some scepticism.)
2. Believe it or Not…The “Normalization of Cannibalism”! (“It was dead flesh anyway. Why waste it? Better for the Environment NOT to waste it! That’s a benefit! Where’s the harm??”) Rather stupid arguments, but as we shall see (Quite Frankly……last night’s show this campaign is ON…since the Epstein arrest. WHY???
Frank discusses both last night, but mainly the second. I save the short on time 32 minutes or so of preview:

“Cannibalism to Save the World” 9/4/19
Frank: “Okay, now are you ready? Are you ready? Let’s do this, shall we? Let us do this. Here is from RT:
‘Academia Considers Cannibalism…The Thought Leaders and Philosophers of the Western World have recently turned their attention to a rather radical method of reducing our carbon foot-print…………..’
Now for the really, really , short on time, that doubt that there is ANY such Revision of Human Diet Campaign underway…..just 2-3 minutes and a graphic of Non RT…Non-Russian coverage of the Normalization Campaign…just might be the sort of “smelling salts” WAKE UP!!!! You could use on yourself and others:

Frank: “I’ll tell you what I think this is about, once again: They are getting people familiar with cannibalism so that they won’t be in shock when they find out that their leaders have already taken a liking to the stuff, just like the “Ambrosia” blood transfusions stuff that we were talking about not too long ago, and if you want to get a little bit more of an insight into what is really meant for common folk, because I do not believe that, as awful as it sounds with the whole human meat thing, I really don’t believe that it is meant for us common folk…..because what they have for us common folk is something else….and that’s insects….”

Passengers caught in ice
The ship M/V Malmoe featuring a climate change film team to document melting sea ice was caught in heavy ice and had to evacuate all the passengers among snowshowers in early September, not in any way a proof of the dangerous warming trend that is the favourite activist mantra. Scientist expedition calling such expeditions where they are literally caught in the opposite scenario a faulure (of their mission) is likewise in reality an end to science.
One of the silliest denialist tactics is to argue that the weather in one small area at one brief point in time somehow voids 200 years of climate science, the consensus of ALL the Academies of Science and scientific societies on Earth, 99% of actively publishing climate scientists, and the observations from reality across the entire globe. Those observations, IRREFUTABLY show the planet’s cryosphere in rapid retreat and decline.
Mulga, your statement is incorrect. It is as if you repeat the advertising.
This part: “the consensus of ALL the Academies of Science and scientific societies on Earth, 99% of actively publishing climate scientists, and the observations from reality across the entire globe”, is incorrect by orders of magnitude.
The IPCC publishes information – they do not research. They publish only in the field of manmade or anthropogenic climate change. Their founding documents spell this out clearly that their mission is nothing else.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established in 1988 under the auspices of the United Nations Environment Program and the World Meteorological Organization for the purpose of assessing “the scientific, technical and socioeconomic information relevant for the understanding of the risk of human-induced climate change.
Nothing more, nothing less – it is as if the sun does not exist – nothing else is in their purvey.
It does not carry out new research nor does it monitor climate-related data. It bases its assessment mainly on published and peer reviewed scientific technical literature.” The goal of these assessments is to inform international policy and negotiations on climate-related issues. Take a good look at the ‘negotiations’ word.
Once they select a number of authors – government authors, government selected scientists of various types, not just climate scientists – the various governments supply scientists, it is not a thing of independent scientists … they select technical papers and put together a summary report for government use. This summary report is distributed to the various countries — governments. And in a big discussion or a big ‘climate change meeting’, it is negotiated what goes into the final reports. And then the carbon trading begins.
For the last report, +- 100 countries sent scientists. At my last reading there are around 195+- countries in the world today. So, to say ALL is incorrect just on the basis of countries alone and we’ve not even looked at scientific institutions.
And to say ALL publishing scientists – only the ones publishing on manmade climate change because the IPCC has a narrow remit.
Although assessment reports are scientific – for the moment ignoring how we got to a report – their purpose is to inform international political negotiations on climate issues. Therefore, governments—as the key stakeholders in these negotiations—play an essential role in the report’s production. 99% of actively published climate scientists is absolutely incorrect. 99% of climate scientists publishing in manmade global warming because there is no other place to publish in this field. It is club, and you and I ‘aint in it ..
The nine most terrifying words in the English language “I’m from the government, and I am here to help.” I think Reagan said that.
It is funny that these people that wanted to go see no ice got stuck in ice. We have to wonder what that is about – perhaps the sea ice increased? OK; now I am just sarcastic. Of course it did in the Northern climes.
The IPCC and the Academies of Science are two different things. Can you name ONE national Academy of Science or scientific society that denies the science of anthropogenic climate destabilisation. This sort of denialist playing with numbers and inferring that the countries not represented on the IPCC, due to the cost or their lack of indigenous expertise, would deny the science, is bunkum. Among the countries not represented on the IPCC are no doubt numerous small Pacific Island states, yet they are vociferous in supporting the science because they are living the reality of rapid climate change as their low-lying homelands are flooded, soon to disappear beneath the waves. The IPCC Reports are, indeed, political documents, downplaying the extremity of our situation for decades in pursuit of ‘consensus’ with denialist criminal fossil fuel regimes like Sordid Barbaria and Austfailia. And the slur that climate scientists are not competent or honest because they belong to a ‘club’ of conspirators, is puerile bunkum. Where is your evidence of any conspiracy, anywhere, at any time, and to what end? Evidence for the fossil fuel and Rightwing conspiracy that is the denialist industry, in contrast, is voluminous.

Antarctic Sea Ice new record Maximum Oct 2014
And NASA is making this a business model to monitor and overreport climate changes. For example they introduced new model for measuring sea ice making the arctic seaice 500.000 km2 smaller compared to those reporting institutes that used the older model. I remember only some years ago before these models, Arctic sea Ice decline was fully countered by Antarctic sea ice growth , the cryoshphere expanded. It was a hoax.
By now everyone has to use the new model which is a way of underreporting on a large scale. A great business model for sure. Those reports are also funded by the governments as it is the models for funding the universities. Pushing the propaganda through media is also a totalitarian model. I am sure the climate has been warming, but I am not corrupt.
Your report is five years out of date, Rip. When you wake up you will find that total global seas ice, Arctic and Antarctic combined, is at record low levels this year. Do try and keep up.
Hmmm, Al Gore predicted that the Arctic would have been melted away completely around 2014. It might be viewed as remarkable, that with a predicted sea level rise of about 7 m., he himself lives in a villa direct at the ocean coast.
Now as we speak, the Arctic ice is still there, and the polar bear population flourishes.
(For young SJW’s reading this: ‘polar bears’ are dangerous predator carnivores that hunt and eat cute seals, and represent ‘White Supremacy’).
The Russians are expanding and modernizing their icebreaker fleet at a daft pace. Russian scientists don’t buy the global warming story (so do the Chinese). The Arctic is their back yard, if not to say their front yard.
Now, who could have the most realistic view here?
Cheers, Rob
Polar bears are NOT ‘flourishing’. They are under severe pressure across much of their range. Ice-breakers are still required in winter, but decreasingly less so in summer. The IPCC reports predicted an ice-free Arctic in summer for 2100 in their early Reports, but it is now clear that it will occur half a century and a few decades earlier than that. Any assertion that Arctic summer sea ice, in particular its volume, is pure disinformation. And China is 100% behind the science, because its leaders are tertiary educated and can read scientific reports. Any assertion otherwise is pure invention.
Not exactly.
Polar bear populations are flourishing.
Global Polar Bear populations larger than previous thought
The sea ice is underreported both by the new models from satellites and by claimed thickness of that ice all to support falsification, political forcing fo fake policies, and media cover.
Shockingly thick seaice
Ms. Crockford, the source of your disinfo, is an asset of the denialist hardcore ‘Global Warming Policy Forum’, of Lawson and sundry other major denialist figures in the UK.

‘West’s leading role is ending’: G7’s no good without India and China, Putin says
https://www.rt.com/news/468112-putin-g7-india-china/
“Putin shared his thoughts on the Group of Seven (G7) during the Eastern Economic Forum, held outside Vladivostok in Russia’s Far East on Thursday. He was asked whether he would attend the group’s meeting in the US next year if invited. US President Donald Trump said last month he will “certainly” invite Putin.
The Russian president hinted that G7 leaders should instead travel to Russia where the last G8 event was due to take place, in 2014, prior to Moscow’s expulsion from the group.
“We’re open [for contacts], and if our partners want to travel here, we’ll be happy [to host them],” he said.
Putin added, however, that the G7, in its current composition, is not up for the task of solving global issues.
I think it’s clear to everyone now – and [French] President [Emmanuel] Macron has recently said so publicly – that the leading role of the West is ending. I cannot imagine an effective international organization without India and China.”
Fox News Tucker Carlson.
Bill de Blasio want to confiscate what he calls assault weapons. Claiming they have no place in the hands of people! Also citing the constitution, he says there are a various of arms that may be used for hunting , self defence and so on.
So what was the constitution about? The main principle is “We the People” meaning the people are in charge, not the mayor, not the governor, not the president , not the congress (the senate and the house). The meaning of a mayor a governor a president a congress, is that there is put in place a common form of governance , so that the wishes of the people, the rights of the people, are enforced.
In the question of the Amendments, they were demanded by the states foreseeing the lack of corrective measures. For instance in the case of changes, changes has to be approved by the people, the change in this regard to the 10th amendment is from the individual states , to the new text the states or the people. This means that a governor cannot make those calls he must consult the people and today the most reliable or only method is by elections or voting. How many of the amendments that has been made over the yers are lawful ? Probably not done by the consent of the people, and they are therefore unlawful. I am of the conviction that there are only 10 amendments, and that for example Federal Reserve is unlawful since it is amended by the congress and the (individual states) but not by the people. This is just one example.
So regarding the Amendments, the foreword is important:
“THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.”
So the 2nd amendment’s desire of the people to bear arms is in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of power (by the congress, the mayor , the governor or the president). So please stop talking about personal self defence . “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” What does it mean not to be infringed. the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed? The right to bear arms shall not be amended . The right cannot be lessened or infringed upon.
So what does it take to change the constitution? The congress can not do it. The people must decide it, since the 10th amendment changed the original constitution on that point. Or the people. So a state legislation cannot simply be made. There must be a vote.
It turns out there are only 10 amendments, the Bill of Rights.
The Japanese early on banned firearms as ‘cowards’ weapons’. Seems about right to me. They should be confined to the armed forces and paramilitary police. No-one else has any need for them but to kill, intimidate and slake certain perverse psychopathological drives.

This may seem like a domestic Canadian news story but as a long-time Canadian politics/news watcher, let me say this is really, really significant. Barton is a North American heavyweight, lots of pull. He may be very diplomatic, but he’s no traditional diplomat!
Like Macron in France “rotating east toward China” there is a pragmatism in the ruling elites of Canada (ditto virtually everywhere…….) forced by the reality of China gaining economic and political weight in the world.
Elites play “The Long Game”….but some much longer than others.
Neither China nor Russia are 100% good….but at the present time they are THE primary imperfect bulwark against Global “NWO” Empire and what The Bloodline Families are determined to wear down and incorporate back into their Western Oligarchy dominated fold
I watched Lyn de Rothschild’s two videos on your second link. Given the history of her family and its Luciferian corruption, one has to be a naive fool to listen to her without consciously studying the silver tongued stealth of a serpent positioning itself to bite.
Given their deep spiritual corruption and proven psychopathic deviousness (she-wolf in sheep’s clothing) I see no reason whatsoever to give such people any more chances by listening in awe of their wealth, experience and power that they accumulated through psychopathic evil and are committed first and foremost to perpetuating and gaining far, far more of, without limit .
There are plenty of other smart,capable people untainted by psychopathic histories of their families……..that ought to be listened to more trustingly.
If Trump busts the FED and the Rothschilds are no longer held in slavish awe……regardless of the present “divisiveness” in American society that exists in that process…he could be appreciated even by some descendants of of his TDS infected present day opponents that eventually comprehend what happened.
Of course that’s a “Big IF”.
But I’d rather bet carefully on a long shot possibility than the certainty you can count on with a Rothschild or Rothschild Minion.
The interviewer asks Lynn Rothschild if she would be shocked if Trump won re-election.
Her Answer: “Not at the present time.”
Her deployment is crystal clear: To change that probability, within the next 12 months, you can be certain of that!
HOW?? Market Chaos before November 2020.

“US Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook dangled millions of dollars in front of the captain of beleaguered Iranian oil tanker Adrian Darya, Akhilesh Kumar, hoping to entice him into sailing to a country that would impound the vessel Gibraltar released last month – and warning that if Kumar did not comply, he would suffer dire consequences.
The US State Department is openly using organized crime tactics, including bribery and extortion, in an effort to bend Iran to its will after its usual allies refused to get sucked into a coalition to ‘police’ the Persian Gulf.
The Pentagon admits that “no plan” has yet come together to combat Iranian oil tanker traffic militarily – the usual “coalition of the willing” has not materialized, with nothing to gain from picking a fight with the well-armed Islamic republic – and has passed the issue to the State Department consiglieres, er, diplomats.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said:
“Having failed at piracy, the US resorts to outright blackmail – deliver us Iran’s oil and receive several million dollars or be sanctioned yourself. ”
These people are crooks and criminals. This is pure mob mafia. We can now call them the United Mafia Mob States of America.

I watched a few episodes of the old Startrek, Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, because I cannot find movies that are not full of social justice warriors breaking the social sphere apart with violence and twisted sex and screwed up racial issues, modeling just an inability to exist and survive as decent humans. These people are now the Ferengi, whose characters were written to be a satirical presentation of 20th century humans.
It is almost certian that the US is behind what is in reality anti-iranian actions in the Middle-East. The US has their well known proxies all over the region, and they are directly linked to the military groups. So for instance when a so-called iranian backed military force in Iraq fires a rocket into the US green zone, it almost certainly is not Iran that is behind it. Iran do not back escalation of war efforts against itself, that is certain.
So we might think who in reality ordered that rocket sent into the green zone. We learn that U.S. secretary of state Mike Pompeo visit Iraq May 7th 2019 to warn Iraq of increased iranian activity in Iraq. How impressive is that. Mike Pompeo know the thoughts of an unnamed iranian backed militia and travel halfway around the world to tell the iraqis about his revelations. Pompeo visits Baghdad
The next Pompeo revelation is of course after the attack occurs: quote Reuters see link:
“The attack came two weeks after U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned Iraqi leaders during a surprise visit to Baghdad that if they failed to keep in check Iran-backed militias, which are expanding their power in Iraq and now form part of its security apparatus, the United States would respond with force.” unquote U.S.-Iran tension simmers
Like a well played theater obviously.
There is also good evidence that both UK and US military has operated as al Quaida forces in Iraq so one cannot rule out that US military was behind the rocket directly, but they obviously finance and train militias, as their mercenary army(s).
This was supposed to be the approach to a red line of U.S. self indignation.
Then they arranged the provocation against an iranian oil tanker arrested by the UK in Gibraltar.
It was supposed to look like Iran responded in the next step of provocations which was blamed directly on Iran. The next step was the attack on the oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz off Iran’s coast.
Pompeo blames Iran on the tanker attacks
All of the above scenario was provoked by the U.S.
The next goal of the administration is according to a press conference by acting defense secretary Patrick Shanahan to present an international concensus on war on Iran and to make available the resources for this war to the military.

I reply:
Not sure!
I would just reflect on the fact that an early step in making the US less productive and more speculative was allowing Savings and Loans (until the 80’s and for decades before…a main source of credit for family formation/single family homes) to depart from their charters and make too risky loans.and investments at the encouragement of Wall St and London financial centers..which of course went bad…with dead asleep tax payers funding the bail outs…….
WHY?..besides corruption? Simple: Post JFK assassination.. END industrial progress and population growth. Sit on what exists….and LOOT IT. Use radical environmentalism and Malthusian ideology as justifications….to neuter resistance. An end to “growing the pie” or even maintaining much less modernizing much infrastructure or plant and equipment. Simply STOP….and hog as much of the existing pie as possible (sound familiar??) and squeeze unneeded populations, future generations ….. slowly out of existence. With a quick AND long term bonus (of course!!) to the sharks engineering the shifts and the huge resultant wealth transfer from the targetted middle class…..to themselves.
The Ego is the Enemy…..fundamentally, in every case I can think of, so far…………….
But things will evolve and the rate of evolution will doubtlessly increase.Unless there is catastrophic devolution…a possibility but not a probability, in my optimistic opinion! Too much growing, awakening resistance…to discount that new factor!

a few notable paragraphs:
“The primary concern as we see it is the volume of information people can find about ourselves. Our lives are not private, and they are becoming less and less private over time. The lack (sic…CSW must mean “need for”) of privacy is not about protecting criminal acts but rather empowering individuals to live the life they want to live.
We have been working on redeemable contracts. Our solution is the creation of a form of tradable, secure property rights that have been abstracted from the individual and the use.
An example would be the property title for a house. Just because you live in a house does not mean people need to know that you own it. In time, our solution will allow you to separate the ownership, occupation, and use of any property. In the example, we divide the ownership of the house into shares that are tradable and that link over the blockchain to redeemable contracts that are encrypted and stored in a distributed manner across the Metanet.
The solution will include a secure voting system and a revenue-distribution system. It will allow a homeowner to pay rent on their home at market rates. The rent will be distributed to the property under the shares. Where the homeowner owns 100% of the house, the money will be pseudonymously returned to them.
If they need to raise capital, as an owner of shares in their property, they can sell them on a tradable market. The purchaser of the shares will then retain dividend rights under the lease terms. We will be releasing details of the system in the coming months.”

Western Civilization is a 200 year old Ponzi scheme that began imploding once the regular infusions from looting India, China and the rest of the world began diminishing after 1945.

Dividing a house into shares, how’s that work at the “Land Titles” offiice? Will each owner pay their own land tax on their share? The Betty’s will want their ‘fair’ share too. As for who owns a house, it’s registered public info. For a fee, anyone can search any land title and find out who holds the mortage on the property. Well, that’s how it worked back when I used to play in the game, ’till cheap money made a shit boxes into a million dollar houses.
