Oldies and Goldies
by ioan
The days are going
and never coming back
Gone is the glowing
empty is the sack
As last resort
they gather in a pub
Trying to keep
the licence of the hub
And here they are
the creepy oldies
On their chairs and playing
everything but chess,
Remembering the goldies
about the dress, the mess
and stress.
Every day is a new opportunity, my friend, absolutely correct; but first we need to understand yesterday is gone forever, and who we were, along with it…
mirrored in the
lustrous eye of the gazelle;
crouching lioness…
Of course, they’re playing cards
And, from time to time
they do launch some farts…
Just slowly…without sound
watching carefully around,
according to the rhyme…
No, nobody gets sick,
they know each other
and they’re used to it.
Is that a crime ?
At least its free,
doesn’t cost a dime !
Careful to show their best poker face,
The friends gather round the old fireplace.
The kindling piled up, both warm and dry,
In that afternoon light, who’ll be the fall guy?
Old Henry he’s late, fresh from his snooze;
Since his stroke last year, he’s slow to enthuse.
He belongs to that corner and the corner to him,
With his back to his mates, and his useless limb.
Well, life is cruel and often it is.
Bill thinks the game could well be his.
He’s worried that Henry’s not long for this world –
What’ll happen then to the old girl?
Sweet old Meg, back in the day;
He’ll never forget how they rolled in the hay!
But that was before Henry came along –
Swept Meg off her feet with his dance and his song.
“That’s it, I’m out”, says Jim, “Time to fly!”
Bill’s reverie ending; he heaves a deep sigh.
They say their goodbyes and head for the door,
And look forward to next week, eager for more.
So sweet, this poem.
Thanks Tera. Somehow, Ioan’s study struck a compassionate trigger within, and this little tale, or concurrent tales, flowed forth; imagination is a wonderful thing!
the cafe
see shafts of light stream
into the young poet there
gleaning the awakening dream
ras
And so comraderie
camaraderie
undimmed by surface hoar,
settling like fine wine
9/11 Whistle blowers
“But someone would have talked,” say the self-styled skeptics who believe the government’s official conspiracy theory of 9/11. But there’s a problem with this logically fallacious non-argument. “Someone” did talk. In fact, numerous people have come out to blow the whistle on the events of September 11, 2001, and the cover-up that surrounds those events. These are the stories of the 9/11 Whistleblowers.
https://www.corbettreport.com/mp3/episode362-lq.mp3
I have just watched this 2 hr+ video!
The link posted by Mike is audio: This is a link to the video and transcripts:
https://www.corbettreport.com/911whistleblowers/
It is a remarkable and powerful report about very brave men and women who have tried to tell their stories, sometimes as witnesses to the event itself, and other times as witnesses to the fraud and deception that the govt undertook to cover up the truth.
Some of the commissioners on the long delayed and ultimately fraudulent report have stated that the commission was set up and designed to fail.
I urge the viewing of this video in full because it is powerful!!
(Transcripts are available on corbett’s site, as well as a video of the full report, which I believe has also been broken down into episodes or segments.
It is a tragedy beyond description that the govt would go to such lengths to coverup and to attack responsible people wishing to reveal the truth. They have lost jobs, careers, blacklisted, harassed …
With Israel spying on US president, America needs no enemies: Zarif tells Trump on Twitter

Remember how France denied Moscow Mistrals over Ukraine? Now Russia ‘to make own carriers IN CRIMEA’
https://www.rt.com/russia/468721-russia-helicopter-carriers-crimea/
“Paris refused to sell helicopter carriers to Russia after its reunification with Crimea. Now Moscow will reportedly build its own ships of this class, using the technology, training and cash from the aborted deal with France.
The first of the two Russian-made helicopter carriers will be laid down next May, with one of them set to be completed by 2027, sources in the ship-building industry told TASS on Thursday. The vessels will reportedly carry up to 10 helicopters each and have large hangar-like well decks to deploy landing craft. The contract for the ships will be signed “in the coming months,” the source said.
Moscow opted not to wait and demanded its money back. France not only lost a lucrative contract but was forced to compensate Russia for adapting its Ka-52 helicopters for the Mistrals’ decks and upgrading the facilities in the port of Vladivostok intended for the carriers.
In the end, Paris refunded Moscow nearly €950 million ($1.05 billion). Then-deputy PM Dmitry Rogozin said that Russia was more than happy with this outcome, since the sum in rubles ended up three times higher than the money initially paid to France.
Moreover, Russia gained valuable knowledge on how to build and operate its own helicopter carriers in the future, as Paris agreed to technology transfers when signing the deal. Around 400 Russian sailors were sent to Saint-Nazaire for training. The money spent on their trip was also later reimbursed by the French.”
Building the new ships in Crimea adds a nice touch. :-D

Water MetersWe all take a personal interest in our water meter when we receive a notice of excessive water usage from the council, translating to an excessive water bill. Unless you have proof of error, the council will force you to pay, and will not give you the benefit of doubt. In past years I have been informed by Council that the water meter will read less than the actual consumption as it ages with no exception. But I proved the council wrong. I photographed the meter, one day after it was read by council, and to my surprise I had used 97KL. And within 57 days I had used 280KL at a time when my actual usage was very low due to the rain season, and the sprinklers were off. Not bad for a residential dwelling without a swimming pool and no leaks. I presented my case to the council and they waved the bill for that period. It pays to take regular date stamped snap shots of your water meter and do a leak tests.
Thanks for bringing it up Mike
Some 15 years ago I bought a house and on possession date I took photos of every utility meter and kept doing that at every end of billing period day.
Later my bills were showing consistent apwards discrepancies of my utilities consumption.
Electricity was the worst, amounting to kWhr that I could potentially use even if every electrical appliance in the house was on 24/7.
Numerous calls to utilities providers didn’t do much till I threatened with lawsuit where they would have to reimburse all of their customers for electricity produced/billed difference. For me it resulted in not being charged for electricity at all for some 3 years as they got scared of this class action.
Around here (west) utilities could amount to 1-2 weeks of person’s salary and eastern Canada is much worse.
Now I don’t have any utilities connected and boy, do I live happily from the free energy harvested.
Utilities are just another way of enslaving people, some went to jail for not being connected. I believe it is Newfoundland where it is illegal not the be connected.
[Caps on] Check your meters people and have good idea of what you are consuming. [Caps off]
For electricity monitoring one can buy those monitors which give good measurements. Keep in mind that new smart meters may have back door algorithm for rescaling them to disadvantage of the consumer.

Come quickly! Putin Meddling confirmed!
From ‘Risks Digest’ 31.42 https://seclists.org/risks/2019/q3/10
“Subject: CIA source pulled from Russia had confirmed Putin ordered 2016
meddling (Zack Budryk/The Hill)
The Voting News Daily, a news service of Verified Voting
A CIA asset reportedly pulled from Russia in 2017 played a major role in the agency’s determination that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally ordered Moscow’s meddling in the 2016 election, according to *The New York Times*. The informant, while not in Putin’s inner circle, interacted with him regularly and was privy to decision-making at high levels of the Russian government, according to The Times. Information on the informant’s identity was so carefully guarded that it was kept out of then-President Obama’s daily security briefings in 2016, instead transmitted in separate sealed envelopes. In 2016, high-level CIA officials ordered a full review of the source’s record and grew suspicious he might have become a double agent after he rejected an offer of exfiltration from the agency, according to the Times. Other officials said these concerns were alleviated when the source was offered a second time and accepted.
[The original source is this:

Anyone else notice a common thread in the names? Any interest in bridges for sale?
Bridges? Hell yeah! Do you think they have some swampland for sale, as well?
Plenty of that in Washington -maybe put it up on Ebay?
This is plainly a BIG LIE to re-assert the ludicrous lie that Putin personally ordered the non-existent ‘Russian meddling’ in the US election sham, and smear Trump as Putin’s puppet. Indeed I would not be surprised if this fellow had been kidnapped from holidays in Montenegro, and, like the Skripals, will never be seen again. Coming from the greatest meddler in the affairs of other countries in all history, this was always the most deranged hypocrisy, but when one considers the ludicrous ‘evidence’ of the flimsiest effort ie one tiny troll farm which a US judge has decreed was not shown to have ANY connection with the Russian Government, to e-mails that we know were leaked, almost certainly by the then murdered Seth Rich, not hacked by Russia or anyone else, the sheer vicious insanity of Western elites is revealed yet again. But increasingly the Western presstitutes are screeching that this infinitesimal effort ‘swung the election to Trump’. Roll on Armageddon.
This is a remarkably detailed article on cia recruiting and control of agents. However, it would appear that brennan was played big time with his obsession to interfere in the political process such as it is to blame the russians for interference.
IMO, this is the most obvious explanation as it seems evident that the Russians are acting with confidence and competence as opposed to the bombast of pompeo et al. At the same time it appears that brennan was panic stricken, running to the obvious suspects, NYT and wapo.
Moreover, I doubt very seriously that smolenkov would be walking if there had been actual treason-treason is not taken lightly in Russia.

911 Special: DE-OCCULTING the CIA’s New Instagram Tied to 911 It was new @ Easter 2019
The two or three 2016 Trump voters, besides myself, who might have relaxed because POTUS appointed Gina Haspel CIA Director……and maybe the Days of Evil………….. Clowns In America….might be over…...Grow UP!!!
This is not an Easter Egg hunt…..although there are eggs hidden in the first picture of the CIA’s Instagram account or page….or whatever you call it.
Just because these current Clowns In America…strike up and Instagram Account Theme of It All Being in Good Fun……it isn’t For Kids……at ALL!!
Quite the contrary! Especially when you realize the implications of the CIA’s New Instagram account “following” exactly 11 other accounts………….among which is Tom Hank’s!
Phoenix Enigma connects the dots.
But I need to quote his very last point……because even religious persons who are undeniably aware of the chock full of numerology Holy Bible………flip out to readily over this stuff………….and that’s NOT the purpose of presenting it!!
The EXACT opposite is Cory’s purpose, which he ends his CIA Instagram expose with:
“The sorcery breaks, the sorcery cracks……….when you know how it works.
SO< know at least a little bit…about how it works……so that it WON'T work…..much longer! Duh!
A few highlights:
1) 40 photos on the CIA's Instagram Account. 40 is the biblical number of The Duration of Suffering……The Flood …it rained 40 days and 40 nights……Moses and the Israelites wandered in the Sinai for 40 years…just the most well known of many Tests or Trials of 40.
2) First photo of 40 is of a cluttered desk inside Clowns In America headquarters. Gina's original security pass badge hangs on the back of the empty chair. A Golden Owl (symbol for Moloch) sits inconspicuously on the desk.
3) Maps of RUSSIA, CHINA and IRAN are spread out on the left side of the desk
3) There's a lot more, MIKE, but I think you, in particular, may appreciate what time the Clock on the Desk of the first CIA Instagram Picture reads: 8:46……..the time that Flight 11 struck the north tower.
Way Past Time to Put ……Clowns In America……Out of the Witches and Warlocks Business…..
Edward Snowden Opens Up About His Life in Russia
https://sputniknews.com/world/201909141076799853-edward-snowden-opens-up-about-his-life-in-russia/
“One of the things that is lost in all the problematic politics of the Russian government is the fact that this is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. The people are friendly. The people are warm,” he said. “And when I came here I did not understand any of this. I was terrified of this place because, of course, they were the great fortress of the enemy, which is the way a CIA agent looks at Russia.”
The whistleblower said he is now comfortable navigating Moscow, and has gotten rid of the hats, scarves and longcoats he initially used as disguise, disclosing that in his first years in Russia, he felt “lonely, isolated and paranoid that he could be targeted in the streets by US agents seeking retribution.”
Snowden said he does not believe Russia would extradite him to the US, because his presence serves as good publicity.
“Why would they give that up?” Snowden questioned.
On May 2013, Snowden fled the US and landed in Hong Kong. He stayed there until late June, when he boarded a plane to Moscow in a bid to take a long complicated route to the relative safety of Ecuador.
During his flight, his passport was revoked and became stateless. Snowden was then stuck in Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport, and, while he continued his attempts to fly to Latin America, he says the US did everything in their power to keep him in Moscow so that Washington could paint him as a “Russian spy,” including pressing nations on his route to asylum countries. After spending 39 days in the airport’s transit section, he was granted temporary asylum in Russia, which was later followed with a renewable three-year residence permit.
Snowden’s memoir, Permanent Record, is slated for a 17 September release in a number of countries.”

This morning’s hearing was not a bail hearing, it was a technical hearing. Despite this, The magistrate preemptively refused bail before the defence requested it.

“District judge Vanessa Baraitser on Friday told Assange, who appeared by video-link: “You have been produced today because your sentence of imprisonment is about to come to an end.
“When that happens your remand status changes from a serving prisoner to a person facing extradition.”
She said that his lawyer had declined to make an application for bail on his behalf, adding “perhaps not surprisingly in light of your history of absconding in these proceedings”.

Not sure if the mods will allow or approve on repitition but I posted a link to an article from lewrockwell on non MSM news column on the consistent torture program being applied at the direction of the US govt.
Just noting here again as it is iimportant in reply to Amarynth.
Yes indeed Taras 77, and I did miss it on the sidebar. Let’s post it here for others to see before it scrolls off the sidebar. One can look at this and decide it is completely out of it .. but then, thinking about the torture program that to my mind never received enough attention, this makes sense.

Busted? Juan Guaido poses with notorious Colombian drug cartel at Venezuela border in leaked PHOTOS

“Juan Guaido may have some explaining to do. Photos have emerged depicting the Venezuelan opposition leader with gang members, confirmed by Colombian police to be leaders in the violent drug trafficking outfit, Los Rastrojos.
The photos first appeared in a tweet on Friday, shared by Wilfredo Canizares of the Fundacion Progresar (Progress Foundation), a Colombian NGO. They depict the US-sponsored “interim president” of Venezuela Juan Guaido posing chummily with two known drug lords, known under the aliases “The Brother,” and “The Minor.”
Canizares said the photos prove that Guaido “coordinated” with the gang to cross the border into Colombia in February, where he attended a Live Aid-style concert organized by billionaire philanthropist Richard Branson, hoping to gin up international support for the opposition’s cause.

US-backed Venezuela opposition caught embezzling ‘humanitarian aid’ cash
A spokesperson for Guaido denied any connection to the traffickers, and insisted “he took many photos and it was difficult to know who was asking for photographs,” while the opposition leader himself told a Colombian radio station that the group did not help him cross the border.
“That crossing was very complex for us,” he added.
The Colombian Ministry of Defense also denied the claim, stating that “Guaido was not accompanied by criminals while in Colombian territory,” though a spokesman for the ministry did confirm that the men in the photos were members of a criminal organization.
Meanwhile, the Venezuelan government announced that it would open a probe into the incident to determine what ties, if any, the opposition figure might have to the traffickers. Earlier, Interior Minister Nestor Reverol presented the photos on television and said he would submit them as evidence to the state prosecutor’s office.
Los Rastrojos (The Leftovers) was founded in 2004, and consists of the remnants of Colombia’s Cali Cartel, a major competitor to Pablo Escobar’s cocaine empire in the 1980s. Now largely dismantled, the group still exists in pockets across Colombia, Venezuela and other Latin American countries, occasionally skirmishing with local authorities.”

Remarkable developments, if true: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/israeli-attacks-syria-halted-after-russia-threatened-shoot-down-jets-report
“According to reports in both Israeli and Arabic regional media, Israel this past week was preparing to expand major airstrikes against “Iran-backed” targets in Syria, but Moscow imposed its red line. The Independent has published a story describing that Russia’s military in Syria threatened to shoot down any invading Israeli warplanes using fighter jets or their S-400 system.”

“In a remarkable motion fittingly filed on September 11th, Michael Flynn’s attorney Sidney Powell has produced a detailed request for documents which will tell substantial parts of the story of the British campaign, beginning in 2014, to shape the 2016 U.S. election and destroy the potential of Donald Trump’s presidency. She is telling the story through what appears to be a provable account of the targeting of General Flynn, beginning in 2014, by the highest echelons of Anglo-American intelligence, because he called out their alliances with Al-Qaeda and similar terrorists in Syria and sought a very logical alliance with Russia to fight Islamic terrorism. Powell is asking U.S. District Judge Emmett Sullivan to hold Robert Mueller’s prosecutors in contempt for not producing documents which would exculpate Flynn or support his defenses at trial, documents which her very detailed motion indicates she knows, definitively, to exist. The Constitution and Judge Sullivan, in particular, through standing orders in his court, require prosecutors to produce all evidence in their possession which tends to exculpate defendants or support their defenses.
General Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI based on an FBI interview conducted at the White House on January 24th, 2017, his second full day as Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor. While FBI Director James Comey previously testified to Congress that agents interviewing the General did not believe he deliberately lied to them in that interview, Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his henchman pursued Flynn, and his son, claiming that he lied in his White House interview, and claiming that he and his son were also unregistered foreign agents of Turkey. The Mueller knuckle draggers engaged in a relentless press campaign painting the decorated warrior as an out and out unhinged traitor and agent of Russia. By most accounts, Flynn fell on his sword and pled guilty to lying to the FBI on December 1, 2017, in order to protect his son, who was threatened with indictment, and to protect his family, whose finances were in ruins due to legal fees. Flynn is to be sentenced by Judge Sullivan having fired his previous lawyers and replaced them with Sidney Powell and others. Powell is the author of Licensed to Lie, a detailed account of Justice Department perfidies in the Enron and Ted Stevens’ cases, particularly focused on Robert Mueller’s chief attack dog, Andrew Weissman.
Powell’s motion seeks the details of Flynn’s targeting in 2014 by British intelligence, a provable plot with events including Sir Richard Dearlove, Christopher Steele, Stefan Halper, Joseph Mifsud, Sir Christopher Andrew, and others who appear over and over again in the concocted plot against President Donald Trump. She includes the first efforts to falsely paint Flynn as a Turkish agent through lies told by James Woolsey, Bill Clinton’s CIA Director and the man who sponsored Ahmed Chalabi, the “asset” who laid the basis for the disastrous Iraq war. As a result, Flynn was fired from the DIA, and subjected to counterintelligence investigations based on bogus British claims that he was way too close to the Russian GRU and had an affair with a Cambridge based Russian historian. Flynn was one of four targets associated with the Trump Campaign when the Cross-Fire Hurricane investigation was “officially” opened by the FBI. Way back in 2015, John Brennan had convened a special FBI-CIA taskforce at the CIA aimed at destroying the Trump Campaign. She is also seeking a British intelligence letter disavowing Christopher Steele’s reliability and sent to Susan Rice in the Obama White House and President Trump’s transition team, which undermines much of the predication for the FBI’s Cross-Fire Hurricane targeting of General Flynn.
Powell also outlines details of the now notorious ambush interview of Flynn at the White House, which is the basis of his guilty plea for lying to the FBI. She appears to claim that it was James Clapper who committed the felony of leaking classified conversations between Flynn and Russian Ambassador Kisylak to the Washington Post’s David Ignatius, in the elaborate setup conducted against Flynn. Ignatius claimed in his January 12, 2017 Washington Post interview that Flynn’s discussions with Ambassador Kisylak about the Obama Administration’s Russian sanctions violated the Logan Act, a 200 year old statute which had never been used. This article created the pretext for sending FBI agents to interview Flynn at the White House, assuring him, according to Powell’s document requests, that there was no active investigation concerning him and that he did not need a lawyer. Andrew McCabe conducted this setup proudly presided over by James Comey, sending the now infamous Peter Strzok to conduct the interview and record what Flynn allegedly said. Powell details that there are multiple 302s of this interview, a highly irregular situation in the FBI. Based on Powell’s document requests, Strzok and McCabe then met with Vice-President Pence to ensure Flynn was fired. On January 30th, 2017, a document was circulated in the Department of Justice and never produced to Flynn’s defense stating that he was neither an agent of Turkey, nor of Russia. McCabe in particular is singled out during this phase of the operations against Flynn, having declared, in an FBI conference call, “First we’ll F— Flynn, Then We’ll F— Trump.”…………….
Flynn is dead meat because the hanging ‘judge’ presiding is about as viciously bigoted against him as you can imagine. Emmet Sullivan spewed a tirade of abuse at Flynn, accusing the thirty year veteran (for good or bad) of the US military of ‘treason’ for ‘lying’ to the FBI after he had been set up by Comey et al in an ‘interview’ where he had no legal representation. The ‘judge’ hardly disguised his bias. The ‘Rule of Law’ in all its dreadful majesty.
Something that doesn’t get any exposure here and is relatively buried is the strange death’s of too far too many holistic doctors?
https://www.healthnutnews.com/recap-on-my-unintended-series-the-holistic-doctor-deaths/
1) June 19, 2015 – Dr. Jeff Bradstreet, formerly of Florida and now practicing in Georgia, was found in a river with a gunshot wound to his chest. The town residents ruled the death as a suicide, but many have their doubts. That same day in Mexico, June 19th, 2015, three doctors traveling to the state apital to deliver documents were reported missing. This is the only case outside of the U.S. Authorities said they recovered the bodies, but the families insist the bodies look nothing like their family members and are demanding more proof and testing. A sad but riveting article was written about those details, here. I also did an exclusive interview with the Bradstreet family. As they publicly said, I was the only journalist they trusted to talk with about the horrific incident.
2) June 21, 2015 – Father’s Day, coast of Florida, just up the road from us: Dr. Baron Holt, 33, a chiropractor and father, is found dead. Dr. Holt lived in North Carolina, the state where Dr. Bradstreet’s body (the first doctor to be found) was discovered two days prior, though Dr. Holt was visiting Jacksonville, Florida when he died. Dr Bradstreet (#1) had lived in Florida many years.
3) June 21, 2015 – Dr. Bruce Hedendal, 67, just down the road from us, coast of Florida, a chiropractor and Harvard PhD in nutrition, was found dead. He had practiced for years in Boca Raton. He had been at a competition and won a gold medal the same day of his death. Presumably healthy and fit, no cause of death has been listed in any articles we’ve seen. A lot of people have contacted me regarding Dr. Hedendal, but admit they were surprised by his death, and still find it shocking. Countless patients write me who tell me they had late stage cancer and he put them into remission they say. Some were elderly and are still with us today.
UPDATE: Family and loved ones of Dr. Hedendal have spoken to the media. They’re suspicious of his death and want answers. A few mutual friends of Dr. Holt have contacted me. They are doctors and have shared the cause of death with me. Baron Holt, the 33 year old father and holistic doctor and self described Christian, died of a drug overdose of a street drug “Molly” according to his official obituary which was sent to me by a family member.
4) June 29, 2015 – Beloved holistic MD Theresa Sievers was found murdered in her home. Known as the “Mother Teresa of South Florida,” her husband and children were attending a family reunion in Connecticut when she was murdered. The authorities, investigating “around the clock” for two weeks, now say she was targeted, that her murder wasn’t random, nor was it a home invasion, and that “books and movies will be written about it when the facts are revealed”. It’s that big of a story.
UPDATE 1: An arrest warrant has been issued in Missouri for the murder of Dr. Sievers.
UPDATE 2: Two arrests were made in the death of Teresa Sievers. One of the assailants called himself the “Hammer” on Facebook (Dr. Sievers was allegedly killed with a hammer). The other was one of her husband’s childhood friends who was recently extradited to Florida. His attorney says there’s evidence to show he had no involvement whatsoever with the crime. Her husband, Mark Sievers, hasn’t been arrested at this time.
5) June 29, 2015 – On the very same day, June 29th, Jeffrey Whiteside MD, a pulmonologist, disappeared while vacationing with family. Numerous reports called it “mysterious”, saying he was on foot and vanished without a trace. Police have been searching for three weeks. Colleagues have joined in (along with bloodhounds, drones search parties and helicopters), but not a shred of evidence has surfaced.
UPDATE 1: Dr. Whiteside’s death is officially ruled as a suicide but the local press calls the investigation a “mess” (described here in detail). Many are shocked at how long it took for details to emerge, and many people write me, voicing their doubts. Local authorities asked the local press if they knew about my stories. They admitted they were aware of them but hadn’t been contacted by the feds on the case.
UPDATE 2: Authorities announce they’ve found the body of Dr. Jeffrey Whiteside, who’d been missing for over three weeks. Chief Deputy Pat McCarty, in a news conference, said that a .22 caliber gun was recovered at the scene. Investigators believe the body was there for “some time”.
and on and on it goes???
Shocking and very sad! I recently mentioned the “alternative” medicine, ‘bloodroot paste’ and the very similar, ‘black salve’ which kill cancer cells upon application. Both are illegal, even though they’ve been known for millenia, by North American indigenous peoples as well as Auyvedic practitioners. A Google search will reveal rigorous scaremongering. When informed, an acquaintance, who’s a scientist “looking for a cure for cancer”, said, “were I to mention that, I’d be fired from my position”. What does this say, about human endeavour? Seems we human beings are expendable in the hunt for the almighty dollar.
For anyone with an interest in cancer, scaremongering, and also a truly uplifting read, take a look at
myycancerstory.rocks
The fruitless mainstream medical efforts to treat or cure cancer are worth hundreds of billions. A real cure, or even widespread prevention through a healthy life, are not what the medical-industrial parasites want. Where would their ‘profit expectations’ go? Where their ‘certainty’, or ‘return on investment’? Or their bonuses and dividends?

How do you stop hundreds of drones at once? My guess you can’t really so drones are the new super weapon yes?
As for the Houthi’s learning about them and people blaming Iran my guess is Hollywood provides the better example.
Just go watch the trailer for the movie Angel Has Fallen to see the truth of this.
https://youtu.be/XF8h3hOGBJM
Evidently the Russians at Khneimim in Syria have beaten off drone attacks. Perhaps someone with technical expertise can explain how.
From my guess using EW (take over/divert)and missiles especially if you get them bunched a bit and before they are too close to target. But????
I received a note from one of the many friends out there about the defenders of the Venezuelan embassy in the US. You may remember they did a sit-in and were eventually forced out.
The link that the friend gave me, is this one:
https://defendembassyprotectors.org/
This is part of the email : “I know one of the four people being charged for trying to protect the Venezuela embassy. No alt media that I know of has covered this. I did not find on the Saker or Unz or Corbett sites.
These folks are facing severe retribution from the United States government.”
Perhaps we can all help to distribute this through our channels.

Thanks JJ – the whole thing of ‘consciousness’ is getting a lot of exposure now. Everyone seemingly is looking for consciousness, which to my mind, is basically just man’s search for meaning. I don’t know any of the institutes and groups that you linked – all new work it looks like to me. One has to be ‘conscious’ lol as well, with this work. There is a large portion of it that is only interested in the control parts. What can I say? Protect your own ‘consciousness’ and your own search for meaning?
Perhaps, RT would be interested to cover this story?

My Name is Death
My towers gleam and beguile the eye.
I’ve split the atom and pierced the sky.
I’m the Lord of Sleep and the withered hand;
All bow then fall at my command!
Your fathers toiled and once they led –
Upon their graves my bootheels tread.
They are no more, like “God” of old;
My demon army fills the wold!
Your mother’s gardens lie disgraced;
Thistles and thorns of endless waste.
If you listen hard, you’ll hear my knell;
Abandon hope and enter Hell!
And as each day, the sun must rise,
You’ll raise your head and open your eyes.
Enjoy your time and count each breath,
For I approach; my name is Death!
What is Death if not a Gate,
In front of it, Peter our mate
He holds the key, no one dares get in
Who have committed the everlasting sin.
Most spend their entire life… dying
While others their whole death… living

An interesting piece, filled with truth and consistent thought, that i found on the website of Ayatullah al sayyed ali Khamenei. The west can say whatever they want about him, to me hes always been a truthful,wise, pious, upright accessor of things.
The contradictions in the Zionist western world will eventually spill over and become uncontrollable.
That is a very interesting line of thought.
I may differ on a few points as stated by Ayatollah Khamenei, but that is granted, I hope. Wouldn’t life be boring when we we would ever agree on anything? Btw, I like to have expressed how life is in Iran by Iranians themselves. Lately there was a post here on this blog by someone whose name I have forgotten (ok, shoot), about the system of Iranian authorities and elections. I was surprised at the amount of checks and balances involved.
Thanks for sharing. And be good, brother (‘Mach’s gut’, they say in Germany where I live).
Cheers, Rob

This is the wonderful thing about the Cafe, praise be to Saker; Seeing ioan’s art/poetry and yr poems resulted in 4 totally spontaneous ideas for me which are quite decent poems/haiku. Would not have occurred had I not come here! HUgs, back!
Somehow I thought of keeping it Westernized… changed it at the last minute. Otherwise it would have been:
“And chant my findings in mantras”
Perhaps reflecting more of practices on mental vibrations from a very condensed… and natural Abstract: prayers.
There are always a number of ‘solutions/conclusions’, and we’re generally led to one or another, that seems best at the time. Sometimes later, some of these change. The most important thing is the essence of the piece contains great wisdom, humility and a sense of the love youre describing. We can relate to it. However we approach the Great Mystery; prayer, mantras, is a personal matter, but yes, ‘mantra’ still does have a connotation of ‘the East’, a certain exoticism and so on thats slightly alien to the West, etc. Shakespeare;

Trump: US Knows ‘Culprit’ Behind Saudi Aramco Attacks, ‘Locked And Loaded’ to Respond
https://sputniknews.com/us/201909161076810937-trump-authorizes-release-of-oil-from-strategic-petroleum-reserve-amid-attacks-against-saudi-aramco/
(Iran has multiple US targets locked on for months plus the Iranian-Russian alliance)
“Locked and loaded”, eh? One of those gay redneck terms. Is bibi’s buttboi going to order a new presidential limo in the shape of a pickup, fully equipped, with flag pole mounted in the bed for the ubiquitous confederate flag? :-D
Yup, good old-fashioned unabashed American jingoist militarism. Popularized in the movies by John Wayne and in real life by Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. It doesn’t work for Trump though. His hyper-consumptive opulent lifestyle has more in common with a decadent Saudi Prince than a cowboy. And please, VT, it’s gotta be a gold-plated pickup not some car-dealer generic vehicle anyone can by. Gotta maintain the Trump brand after all.
‘Maximum lies’: Iran rejects US’ claim it attacked Saudi oil facilities, warns it’s ready for war
https://www.rt.com/news/468857-iran-us-drone-attack/
“Allegations that Iran was behind the drone attacks on Saudi oil facilities are “unsubstantiated” and false, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Seyyed Abbas Mousavi stated on Sunday. He also said officials in Washington are accusing Iran in order to tarnish its image on the world stage in preparation for “future actions” against Tehran.
The Americans adopted the ‘maximum pressure’ policy against Iran, which, due to its failure, is leaning towards ‘maximum lies’
The Houthi rebels in Yemen have claimed responsibility for sending 10 armed drones to hit two Saudi oil refineries on Saturday. The attacks caused massive fires and other damage to the sites, which halved the kingdom’s oil output.
The Houthis previously admitted to launching similar drone and rocket attacks against Riyadh, some of which were directed at oil pumping stations. The Saudis have been waging a devastating aerial bombing campaign in civil war-torn Yemen, where they intervened in 2015 on behalf of ousted President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi.”
The US regime, in its usual cowardly and brutal manner, is inflicting illegal sanctions on Iran, and, typically, bullying other countries into doing likewise. These vicious crimes against humanity are causing much suffering and not a few deaths, so, if the Iranians had decided to attack the US economy through operations against the Saudi oil industry, they would, in my opinion, be justified. However such a strike, if it caused the world economy to fall into recession, would cause great suffering for many millions of innocents. Such an outcome would never cause any qualms for US ruling psychopaths, but I imagine that it would cause the Iranians some pause, so I doubt that they were responsible. Besides, Pompeo said they did, and he is a recidivist liar-and boasts of it!
… Wally Wallington …
Several years ago, retiree Wally Wallington provided one plausible answer to the long-sought scientific mystery of how Stonehenge was built. Not a scientist but a Michigan construction worker and carpenter, Wallington started playing around with massive stone blocks in his garden. He took on the challenge of creating a replica of Stonehenge monument in his backyard. Using some easily manageable mechanisms and having a profound understanding of physics and mechanics, Wallington has been able to demonstrate how you can move massive pieces of stone, as heavy as a ton, without that much difficulty.

Moses Lazarus, Emma’s father, sought to secure a place for his family among the Christian elite.”

Thank you for the segue, Paul.
A regular emitter of statements that raise many eyebrows and infuriate a good many people……….(I am Satoshi Nakamoto. I invented Bitcoin”……for example) states in this interview
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBNT7X5sjPM MetaNetTV Livestream August 2019 – Dr. Craig S. Wright
that the Statue was originally intended as a gift to Brazil and was called Columbia…..the goddess.
in the same interview he calls Twitter “a platform for terrorists” which might even cause one of The Donald’s eye brows to twitch. Which segues into Twetch SV…..but later.
But, lest we forget, we builders, nerds and engineers must not neglect The Artists!
Wright seems to delight in informing people that they are wrong, which only wins him popularity contests with contrarian curmudgeons like myself. The Metanet TV interviewer veered into the arts..seeking refuge from the constant corrections on technical matters…and brought up the most famous piece of sculpture of Rodin….The Thinker.
“Well, you know that’s not the name of that Rodin piece at all.”, asserted Wright. “Fake news!” (Quite rough on interviewers, is he!)
“You see, there was a New York times art columnist who had not done his homework …and facing a deadline to get an article into print, the lazy bloke just made that title up himself. The sculpture is actually of Dante…and the original title in French in English translation was something like ‘Dante Contemplating His Imminent Passage From Purgatory Into The Inferno’. Even though Virgil was to be his tour guide…and urged him onward…to learn……Dante first had to very seriously consider the proposed entry into Hell….before getting on with it.”
All of these sloppy errors and accidents can be a thing of the past, and future historians will be able to prove their research digging into the Immutable Time Chain…..the Purveyors of Satoshi’s Vision...The Proclaimed Preservers and Protectors of Truth, confidently assert………

Bro … I look forward to promotion type ideas because how I’m doing things is too slow.
Without media backing a goy like me has almost no chance …
Paul, the only way that independent people sell their books, is by selling out of hand at book fairs, work with independent book sellers and do a show and tell and market this to the local community, and selling out of hand at a show and tell and book signing. Book stores like doing this, because it attracts people to come and listen to a show and tell, and of course book fairs are where the book buyers go. This is the hard news, and I have published a number of independent books. The authors that go ‘on the road’ so to speak are the ones that sell their books and they literally sell them one by one. This is true also of our authors where we actually expect just modest sales and we are not in it to make bunches of money. It is more a distribution of information and prices are set to cover costs with a modest mark-up that goes to the author.
Also, from experience, paper books nowadays sell in a ratio of around 50/50 to electronic books (ebooks, pdfs, kindles). Shipping prices are very high and generally people find themselves with constrained budgets and they don’t want to wait .. they want to download. I saw this so clearly with The Saker’s last book, where I sent a promo copy to someone specific who came back and said they prefer the ebook. Even those that publish through Amazon are finding limited sales unless it is very well known authors – and of course Amazon eats up almost every bit of profit.
One needs to ‘guerilla market’ in our world today, if you are not a conglomerate but a single person or a small business. They use books today to support an overall effort, and not as a single book. Even I, and I love books, now have most books in electronic form and what I consider the important ones, backed up. So, one has to recognize that the market has changed and you have to make your own press, locally, bookstore after bookstore and book fair after book fair.
I was hoping to establish a small ‘market’ for Sakerites with the saker.community. But I had uphill from a certain person who almost single handedly made it so difficult, that I either had to fight (for various reasons), or not. I don’t have energy for fighting. I even gave up on the food and recipe book that I wanted to put out as a joint effort from Sakerites – too little interest overall.
Your market is also exceedingly small – and only those that have an interest in Egyptian affairs, or those that don’t mind reading something different. You can increase your market by becoming visual yourself and interest people yourself.
So, if anyone in your position would ask me how to market, I would say go on the road to book fairs and show and tell book singing sessions at book stores and get an easily downloadable copy of your book ready.
I have just been through a consultation with a publisher in the US with a book (not quite completely written yet but I am editing because of certain knowledge), in the alternative health field. This is kinda a magnum opus and discussing with the US based publishers (they have a natural market because they publish christian literature), we again went through the amount that our author will get through amazon. Well, it is kinda very little and we will have to sell a million before we can actually count some income from that book. The author will not go on the road, so … he will not sell many and the effort of writing, editing, art, layout and all those things become almost a ‘cost of doing business’. Most small businesses and I talk of the alternative health field, the practitioners consider that writing their basic book is a necessary nice to have, but is only a small part of an overall marketing of their specific practice. So, a book is a support for other work.
So, that is what the environment for books looks like these days.
Explosion!:
Saudi oil well.
Was it a Bolton-from-the blue?
A false flag?
A clue is if anyone with fore knowledge anticipated the skyrocketing oil stocks.
Does anyone know if the drones attacking Saudi had Iranian passports on board?
https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2019/09/16/606294/US-Saudi-Arabia-oil-refinery
Interesting how the disinformation is already unfolding.
KSA: It were drones.
USA: No, it were missiles.
KSA: Oh yes, it were missiles.
Yemen: We did it, with 10 attack drones.
USA: It were the Iranians! KSA, please confirm.
KSA: …….
When they go along with the Iran story, and missiles start to fly, it could be the end of the KSA as we know it. If they confirm the Yemen Story, it would be embarassing for themselves and even more for the USA.
False flag? I have doubts. Rising oil prices is beneficial for the KSA, but doesn’t bring much when they lack capacity now to actually sell and export it, does it?
Interesting but dangerous developments.
Cheers, Rob
Interesting new insights from the Israeli site Debka: It were Houthi’s, using drones, from a site in Iraq.

If there is any sanity left in DC, they might consider the advise of Iranian FM Zarif:
>>Having failed at “max pressure”, @SecPompeo’s turning to “max deceit”
US & its clients are stuck in Yemen because of illusion that weapon superiority will lead to military victory.
Blaming Iran won’t end disaster. Accepting our April ’15 proposal to end war & begin talks may.<<
But well, 'sanity' and 'DC' in one sentence…
Cheers, Rob
I would not trust Debka. Rightly they are close to the gov and Israel spy agencies, but as such they are also a maximum deception site who are spinning outrageous stories for Israels exploitations .
They once reported that Osama bin Laden was living in Iran, while Israel was spearheading a campaign for bombing of Iran. So it is quite obvious this .
Israel is interested in creating a concensus in the media for its military attacks on Syria and Iraq, which are in gross violation of international law. Iran is their standard scapegoat.
Anything spins into their propaganda machines, and ends up in vicious statements from USA , both from Secretary of State Pompeio and pres. Trump, willing agents of the zionist’s empire, while we always sees Netanyahu’s smiling in the picture.
Right now Netanyahu is running an election campaign on military attacks on Gaza and annexation of parts of the West Bank.
But there is an elephant in the room, they are creating all these smoke screens in order to continue the war in Syria, occupation and annexation of the Golan Heights where there were large oil reserves . See who is running Genie Energy . The zionist empire created the jihadi armies that attacked Syria so that there was not a strong Syrian government to counter illegail oil extraction in the country, that were controlled by IS and ran via Turkey and Iragi Kurdistan. Now they want to effectuate their plans for oil production in the Golan Heights which are defended from the Syrian government by jihadi armies and israeli attacks supported by the US alliance.

First, An Older Brit interviewer with Bootcamp Organizer Jack Liu of RelayX who talks about how his team is paving the way for businesses to transition from the existing money world into Bitcoin as painlessly as possible and organizing the week long event in Bali to get developers to merge their skills and ideas cooperatively.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUV3u-jGhXQ ……. this is the longest @ 20 min but even snippets give the rough idea that Jack might be able to explain some things. No accent quiz…moving right along….the rest are about 4 minutes each…….with interviews of these young techies from all over the world (30 of them mainly working, not just getting lectured…..but travel log breaks each day…………
OK…quickly: Accent Brit (not sure what part)…..and SE Asian/US graduate school!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gR0RdhjyxA Welcome to BALI…..Day 1 Cambrian SV…..Cambrian because
“The Cambrian Period is the first geological time period of the Paleozoic Era (the “time of ancient life”). This period lasted about 53 million years and marked a dramatic burst of evolutionary changes in life on Earth, known as the “Cambrian Explosion.” …a quick search tells me.
30 SV startup company entrepreneurs too many accents too fast! Aussie Man obviously remotely….

Review of accomplishments. Some teams pairing up to co-develop in regular two week segments going forward with another startup…………..because of the catalytic effect of a few days in Bali
American, Brit, AUSTRIAN (sounds just like Ahnold S) and Aussie Cambrian Den Mother “so inspired by the beauty of hearing us live, in our own voices, in person instead of on-line”….only to be exceeded in emotion by the Afro-American Twetch guy…Aaron Burns.
These are humans! No need for fear and loathing……LOL
Just a correction Bro – on halvening : “…… reduces the available mineable coins by half…every few years”
No, that is a little confusion there .. no coins get reduced – it is 21 million in all the Bitcoin chains, and that is a hard number and that number is supported by a bunch of math – just a technical correction which is important. It is the reward from mining a block which is halved. This is a simple explanation but applicable to BTC:
“In 2012, the amount of new bitcoins issued every 10 minutes dropped from 50 bitcoins to 25. In 2016, it dropped from 25 to 12.5. Now, in the 2020 halving, it will drop from 12.5 to 6.25.”
https://www.bitcoinclock.com/
So the miners have to work harder and the result is mining difficulty increases.
Yes the 3 main Bitcoin chains are all looking at a halvening coming up. In the past we had price increases after a halvening.
About Twetch – I don’t know who picked it up, but it is probably a derivative of Kvetch, and Kvetch is a yiddisher word for .. kinda complain talk – kvetching – chattering like a bunch of women.
Then, I listened to the first youtube that you listed – the young developer. Just for broader perspective .. each application that he is talking about has already been developed and is working. Twetch, I can think of 2 off the top of my head .. brave browser and BAT tokens which I am busy setting up for us here at The Saker (hopefully today is the day to complete that), and Memocash – a well established twitter alternative that is already doing all the art and derivatives and music and poetry and stuff – on the BCH blockchain. There are more. And sometimes if one is not used to the tech world, you think that what you hear is the only thing. They got a bunch of young developers together. This is not great, or different, or something that is happening for the first time. The general word for that is hackathon – and it happens everywhere all the time in the world of developers and coders.
Writing this my mind gave me a description of the 3 main Bitcoin chains – tongue in cheek
BTC – wants to be the new financial system and run it like the old one.
BSV – wants to integrate with the old financial system and make friends with them.
BCH – wants to actually build a clean financial system and leave the old one behind.
That is about the description of where the various Bitcoin chains are positioning themselves in terms of marketing. So, of course the war for market dominance is on. BTC has increased their dominance quite markedly lately, to something like 60% + of all transactions.
Here are some pieces that I would consider must read if you are interested in this asset class.
A most peaceful revolution – https://medium.com/@nic__carter/a-most-peaceful-revolution-8b63b64c203e
And these guys I love – Regulatory Rebellion. They have exchange software and they have just made it completely open source – incase they get taken down by the powers that be, it is open, in the wild and can be used anywhere. https://beincrypto.com/bitcoin-exchange-releasing-code-in-act-of-regulatory-rebellion/

Yemen Houthi drone strike going out of narrative control.
Who dun’ it? Informational drones flying around everywhere.
Bolton wants to fight Iran (everyone else too but lately Iran)
Trump fires him but he says he resigned
We hear that Russia stopped Israel from attacking Syria and we hear that Israel may have been threatened that Russia will shoot back?
A few days later, Houthi’s drone strikes Aramco Saudi Oil Fields – and everyone goes nuts about oil price (and a whole bunch say Bolton was right!)
Remember, Saudi’s been bombing Houthi’s something fierce.
Houthis say – We Dun’ it!
US says – Iran Dun’ it.
To keep everyone properly scared, Trump opens strategic oil reserves – meant for major war, as if this is the only oil field in the world.
Now the pundits say, uhm, might have been missiles, and Iraq or Iran could have shot missiles into the oil field.
Trump says they know who dun’ it, and are waiting for the Saudi’s to confirm, and then “under what terms we would proceed!” Again, we hear “locked and loaded” talk. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1173368423381962752
3 Israeli’s are dancing (OK, not really, just my imagination going hot!)
Who dun’ it? Iran, Iraq, Yemen Houthis? but what about Israel? Netanyahu wants to make a big splash before he gets elected?
Who wanted oil prices up? Saudi is giving conflicting reports and when they can repair the damage.
The Houthi’s say — aimed right at ya mates! there is more where that came from, so, stop shooting us already!
Was those oil fields already somewhat clapped out? Were they insured against strikes?
My speculation and it is only speculation –
Houthi’s dun’ it … not false flag – they legitimately dun’ it with drones.
The rest of the clowns are all excitedly flying their own information drones now, jumping on an opportunity to make Bolton’s wet dreams come true.
Back in the back 40, India and Pakistan are threatening one another with nukes.
This coming week will be a big one.
Here is Moon of Alabama with a sober assessment.
https://www.moonofalabama.org/2019/09/damage-at-saudi-oil-plant-points-to-well-targeted-swarm-attack.html#more
This attack has the essence of inside Saudi finger prints. The attack was so specific as to disable a mechanism that takes 6 months to rebuild, 7 were hit in all. In order to know the precise location and use a gps device to navigate to that specific location, could not have been done by an Iranian operative secretly operating in SA.
To suggest so only shows the depth of incompetence or neglect to which one would make such a statement.
Many oil storage facilities were also damage and that will take a number of months, if not years, to replace. Do not expect to hear of any of this from the mains, and you did not hear this from me, no sir re.
Interesting thing in this assessment on MoA, is that the attack was thoroughly planned and that the hits came from the west. I still think it were drones, that can fly under the radar, but more important that they were probably launched from KSA soil itself. Just think about that, though it’s just an assumption.
For the rest, just await more clutter and disinfo.
The KSA doesn’t even mention what kind of weapons it were in their ‘evidence disclosure’, but they do know it’s Iranian – a contractor just painted ‘made in Tehran’ on the pieces.
The tweeter in chief today frogged around that the USA ‘doesn’t need ME oil’ and is a net exporter of energy. Ah. okay. No more need to import Russian oil then? We can close the Keystone pipeline through North Dakota, transporting Canadian tar sand oil with toxic stuff like mercury and arsenic compounds? That’s a relief.
Now we only have to shove Colin Powell back in with a tube with milk powder.
The Anglozionists are obsessed with Iran. The Israeli are suffering from a kind of ‘Purim Traumatic Stress Disorder’, but worse are the Christian Zionists that are glorifying the building the Third Temple, the end battle with Iran, and the so wanted rapture. Pompeo and Pence are princes of darkness in this. Just today I read an article of Whitney Webb about them, a bit long but scary stuff: http://www.unz.com/article/the-untold-story-of-christian-zionisms-rise-to-power-in-the-united-states/
Dangerous games. It’s only the world at stake.
Cheers, Rob
Colin Powell is already warming up behind the scenes: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/houthis-say-its-not-over-saudi-facilities-still-within-range-iraq-denies-its-territory , update 2.
“US officials have told FOX that the attacks originated from Iranian soil, which is the first time such a direct charge has been issued since the early Saturday morning crisis.”
Maybe I have the wrong map. In which direction is Iran directed from the KSA, when the installations were hit from the west direction? A compass, anyone?
Oh dear. And the zombies, occupied with the Kardashians are eventually gonna believe it too. Sane minds in the Pentagon left, that this might be not such a jolly good idea?
Dear Mr. General Valeri Gerasimov, you seem to have a collegial mutual understanding with Mr. General Joseph Dunford. Can you please call him? Were heading for disaster, steered by idiots. Thank you.
Cheers, Rob
“Here is Moon of Alabama with a sober assessment. ”
The concluding bit:
“It is high time for hawks like Pompeo to recognize that Iran means what it says and has the tools to fulfill that promise.”
In other words, it reinforces the zionazi-gay propaganda that Iran attacked saudi arabia. The material above that sentence serves to support that propaganda, while roping in the mark reading it that moa is presenting genuine opposition commentary.
The zionazi websayanim running moa frequently get detailed knowledge (provided by whom – think about it), then skew it with back door support for whatever the zionazis want their phony left marks to believe. Selling the zionazi pov as something pallatable to those opposed to this freakshow. It is the standard moa mo.
The point of the piece was to hammer home that Iran attacked saudi arabia. Is that what you want people to believe, amaryth?
Gossip and scandal, right before the Israeli elections ;-)
It appears there is a deep rift between the Adelsons and the Netanyahus: https://www.globalresearch.ca/adelsons-cut-ties-netanyahu-year-ago/5689313
If this is to be believed, Sara Netanyahu is wearing the trousers and takes decisions. She appears quite hysteric.
Immediately I had to compare it to the DDR – that was effectively led by Margot Honecker, a stenotypist from origin. That imploded too, though we say sometimes sarcastically here that effectively the DDR took over the BRD.
Cheers, Rob
Frau Nuttyyahoo certainly looks the part. A young Shelley Winters could have played her to histrionic perfection. The Nuttys are quite a partnership-made for each other. The offspring seem tasty, too.
“The offspring seem tasty, too.”

I only spotted this morning your scroll wheel comment on the PCR thread…not sure I really understood it…..but did my best to reply, here:

I’m excited! This got me Mod-Advice on how to more fully utilize my mouse and scroll wheel! LOL.
Thanks!
However, even more fun, and a lot more important, IMHO was the opportunity given by Anonymous and his or her posting of The Donald “changing his tune”….”flip-flopping” 48 hours after the Channel 9 spur of the moment “too frank for his own good” telephone interview on Sept 11, 2001:

Vowing annexation, charging voter fraud, ‘King Bibi’ looks poised to extend rule

The relentless logic of Zionazism, rooted in Talmudic hatred, settler murderousness and a unquenchable lust for vengeance for the Nazi Judeocide, leads inevitably to mass murder and genocide of all non-Jews inside Eretz Yisrael, and the expulsion of any survivors. And the world watches on, frozen into complicit cowardice by the ‘antisemitism’ industry.
Dear Mulga
I read with enjoy all your comments, I like your word creations,
for example FSM and Madcow (Madcow reminds me of
N. Gogol’s . . . Madman)
Do you know Gerard Menuhin’s book “Tell the Truth and Shame
the Devil” and Louis Marschalko’s book “The World Conquerors”?
A funny animal
https://gilad.online/writings/ladies-and-gentleman-please-welcome-the-jewish-zebra.html
One of my favourite theatrical memories was seeing Geoffrey Rush, twice, playing Gogol’s Madman, when we were both much younger. I’d love to see a theatrical adaptation of Dostoevsky’s Underground Man.
Channeling Bojo
First yawn in the… morn
And if you stretch it a little
You are… thirsty for more
Becomes a real… battle
Abridging a lie… too far
Is like a bridge on… offer
Give it a full moon on par
We’re now buyin’ a ladder
As you now know… Boris
Twas a good ole Irish joke
A Bridge too far for an exit
Does sell like a brok’n yoke
clowns pontificate –
the man in the moon yawning;
london’s burning bridge
Better title…
On your way out, mind the step
‘Channeling (for) Bojo’
Brilliant pontification, Dimitar
However…
To any recently elevated Pope
A clown would last the distance
When given enough… clearance
Between the deck and the rope
Food for Thought: Study Finds Hunger Leads to Poor Decision-Making

“Scientists at the University of Dundee in Scotland recently found that hunger changed people’s decision-making skills. According to their research, people who are hungry are more likely to make poor decisions than those who are satiated.”
Cush job, eh? (the researchers)
