VIDEO
The film you are about to watch will show people coming from Cité Soleil, a large impoverished area in Port-au-Prince, marching to Petion-Ville, which is a more upper-middle-class community. Protesters are making it clear
that they want the U.S.-backed President of Haiti, Jovenel Moïse, to go. They also want accountability for the
$4.2 billion loaned to Haiti from Venezuela in PetroCaribe dollars. They are demanding to know where that
money is, as it has disappeared. By Margaret Prescod
Egypt Protests
A Revolution is Brewing in Egypt – and This Time It Will Spread Far beyond Tahrir Square: Independent
https://www.middleeastobserver.org/2019/10/04/a-revolution-is-brewing-in-egypt-and-this-time-it-will-spread-far-beyond-tahrir-square-independent/
It all started on Friday 20 September. Tens of hundreds of people took to the streets across Egypt calling for
the removal of Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

Egyptian Protests: A US-Fuelled “Arab Spring” Reboot

When the West’s leading media organizations attempt to convince audiences they know nothing about where Mohammed Aly – a Spanish-based Egyptian protest leader – came from, the first thing one can be sure of is they are being lied to.Protests have begun to spread again in Egypt after nearly a decade of frustration in Washington over its inability to coerce Cairo into serving its regional and global designs.

Iraq Protests
Who’s been Trying to Destabilize Iraq?
https://journal-neo.org/2019/10/07/who-s-been-trying-to-destabilize-iraq/
The wave of protests that erupted across Iraq on October 1, according to a number of reports, resulted in dozens of civilian deaths and several hundred injured protesters.
The unrest that was sparked by the frustration that local residents share over the massive corruption, high unemployment rates, frequent power outages and water shortages, would soon lead to demands for the resignation of the sitting government, followed by all sorts of other political demands. In spite of the attempts that local authorities make to restore order by imposing a curfew, the intensity of the protests wouldn’t die down. There’s tires burning in the streets, demonstrators assaulting airports and government buildings.

https://journal-neo.org/2019/08/29/the-secret-war-on-iraq-it-s-2003-all-over-again/
On August 23, 2019, Nouri al Malaki issued a warning to Israel. Israel had attacked Iraq on August 19, four
days earlier and the stories about this attack had been circling the globe, their implications far beyond the
wildest imaginings of pundits and advisors. Let me explain.

Wind is Blowing
by ioan
Wind is blowing, up and down
Going forward, coming back
Sometimes playing on the street
Hunting, empty paper sack
On the sideline of the road
Loudly voices from the trees
Branches screaming within choir
For the loss of summer leaves
Oh, that wind, that bloody wind
Took my jacket, made me harm
Left me naked on the street
Before winter, took my charm
Wind is kicking, blows the sack
Sending it like funny gadget
On the largest tree of all
As a fancy paper jacket !
Thank you ioan :-)
When diamonds were a Jew’s best friend
The legacy of Cecil Rhodes

This headline caught my eye about a week ago from a blog site which I respect:
https://wallstreetonparade.com/2019/10/theres-nothing-normal-about-the-fed-pumping-hundreds-of-billions-weekly-to-unnamed-banks-on-wall-street-somebodys-got-a-problem/
Then there are these similar headlines from the same site up thru today:
https://wallstreetonparade.com/
I’m more than a tad over my incompetence level when discussing the repo markets and my guess that these developments are not on many people’s radar screen-comatose congress has certainly been remarkably silent which is nothing new.
However, we have heard about financial collapse and the end of the empire and on and on now for years if not decades while the evil empire continues its evil ways without hindrence; I have seen a report that the national debt has increased hundreds of billions just in the last few months to where, I believe it is now over $23 trillion.
What to make of this-I have no idea but it does not bode well for further war making, more insane defense spending on useless or non-functioning war toys. Maybe, just maybe, more and more trillions in debt might have a cautioning effect on the idiots in dc screaming for more war, more military buildups.
Nah, that would make sense.
Maybe, it seems just to me that they have no fear, as you say, it is going on for decades and they just continue to play the bogey, not seeing, not willing to see, or as long as the paper and printing costs are cheaper than manufacturing and selling common goods to produce money (or value), they are better “working hard” in the same old way : thin air profit. How long can this be prolonged is another question.
For that to answer, I’m not that smart at all…maybe they have already a genius out there to solve the problem with a miracle…
@Taras77: US debt gone parabolic since August:
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/memoriam-reality
The nation has been too preoccupied with political mud-wrestling to notice that the US debt has gone hockey-stick parabolic, racking up $814 billion just since August.
Math majors may see that’s close to a trillion dollars, or 4 percent of the total $22,837 trillion, just in a few months. Zowie! (Hat tip Steve St. Angelo.)
Parabolic trends don’t end well. In the meantime, the Federal Reserve, as usual, attempts to “fix” the problems caused by excessive bad faith borrowing with additional excessive bad faith lending in its overnight repo operations and revamped non-QE QE. That’s telling you something about where the dollar is headed: history’s graveyard of dead currencies.
The upshot is looking like an inflationary depression for the ages.
Might have answered the age old question of was the Feds balance sheet a part of the national debt? Or, since it is money’s given to the public treasury, a private debt held by a private source and backed separately by tax payer dollars? If the latter is the case then the debt is actually an unknown. B/c the brackets for debt are now debt owed to foriegners (some $6+ trillion), and the Feds actual balance #’s are now missing altogether so add another few trillion to those domestic customers.
That would be say somewhere in the ball park of $30 trillion and we have yet to ask our representatives if they ever intend to address the public debt issue?
Interesting links:

Current number=https://zfacts.com/national-debt-clock/
Cool stats, tks, I have also learned that congress is less concerned about debt and spending and more concerned about how to keep the population working, the working side of the equation always trumps the debt and spending side no matter the variables.
Its a non linear formula designed to produce and trick greater fools that the economy and care for the elderly remain a high priority for generations to come, and that public debt doesn’t matter.
Repo murkiness continued (I do not have twitter and will not have twitter but I stumbled on this post which caught my eye):

This one seemed fairly significant, the amount for intervention iper month s a fair amount of change:
Beginning next week the Fed will purchase $60B per month in US treasuries bills.
That’s a monthly intervention program equal or larger in size than the entire US military budget.
2019 US Military budget: $693B or $58B per month.
The REAL US military Budget is far beyond one trillion a year, if you count all the black money etc.

6 Ways Salem Witch Trials Were Fairer Than Dems’ Impeachment Inquiry
Attorney Greg Jarrett recently wrote, “It is Pelosi and Schiff who are abusing the power of impeachment in their latest ‘witch hunt.’”
This is wildly historically inaccurate.
Jarrett should immediately apologize to the memory of the prosecutors of the 17th-century Massachusetts witch trials. This is because House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Adam Schiff are currently running their Ukraine impeachment farce with far less due process than the superstitious and backwards legal system offered the “witches” of Salem.
Below are a few examples of how Jarrett has unfairly slandered the jurisprudence of 17th-century Massachusetts.
1. The Right to Be Informed of the Nature of an Accusation In 1692, the “witches” were tried under the Witchcraft Act of 1604, or, in long-form, “An Act Against Conjuration, Witchcraft and Dealing with Evil and Wicked Spirits,” a felony.
Then-President Nixon stood accused of “payment of substantial sums of money for the purpose of obtaining the silence or influencing the testimony of witnesses,” in violation of federal witness tampering statutes.
President Bill Clinton stood accused of perjury, lying under oath.
What law is President Trump accused of violating during the Ukraine phone call?
The accusations against Trump are far vaguer and never seem to relate to any statute, law, or provision of the Constitution. What little explanation there is for the “law” the president broke is extremely vague.
One fanciful theory is that the president violated 52 U.S.C. §30121 prohibiting a candidate from “soliciting” from a foreign entity a “thing of value” (meaning dirt on a political opponent) in connection with a federal election. This is the same ridiculous argument that was made in the Russia collusion hoax when Donald Trump Jr. supposedly solicited Russians for dirt on Clinton (never mind the “Russians” were in partnership with the firm Clinton hired to frame Trump). That argument failed in the Russia hoax for the same reason it’s wrong now: Asking for information is never a “thing of value” for purposes of election law.
Witches in 1692 knew exactly what law they stood accused of violating because New England witch hunters respected this principle of due process more than Schiff and Pelosi do.
The president’s counsel noted this deficiency in this letter, indicating that among the many unfair aspects of the procedures, the committee failed to observe “the right to be informed of the law of the charges against you.”
2. The Right to Public Hearings
We have reason to believe the witch prosecutors held public trials because a man by the name of Cotton Mather recorded accounts of many of the trials.
In contrast, as noted by the Wall Street Journal, Schiff is attempting to conduct “secret” hearings to cherry-pick and leak evidence (often with much exaggeration).
Schiff used a similar technique during the Russia collusion hoax, claiming (falsely) that he had seen direct (but secret) evidence that the president colluded with Russians. It’s highly problematic when the chairman of the House intelligence committee smears the president by making a non-factual claim about secret intelligence.
3. The Right to Confront and Cross-Examine Witnesses
It’s not clear that the accused witches ever had the chance to cross-examine their accusers.
So on that front, Jarrett’s comparison might be appropriate. However, the historical record indicates that the accused were present during the trial and given the opportunity to listen to what was being said about them.
In contrast, Schiff is running a sort of kangaroo court in which the public is only allowed to hear third-hand accounts of secret witnesses.
The identity of both leakers remains secret even as their allegations are being aired in the public.
Again, Schiff is using procedures that witch hunters in the 1600s would consider unfair……..
This is a kin to a fire on a ship, you either jump ship or fight the fire, rather than jumping ship and admitting defeat, they will fight this fire until the last breath of the last person is left standing.
Going down with the ship may seem a nobler end………..than being hung from a yard arm.
Ahh the metaphors on the 11th day of the tenth month of the year:
Wind (here we had some mild Santa Anas in the Southland…..warm winds from the deserts westward out to the sea).
Fire………on land these are fed by oxygen delivering and spark speading wind…..on ships sometimes by machinery…..sometimes cooking…..sometimes cargo self combusting………..sometimes attackers….
Ships…………..and today TWO missiles hitting an Iranian oil tanker carrying 1 million barrels …………in the Red Sea.
But it’s the Café and ioans poem…………….and these meaning laden metaphors reminds me of only one song….(surely there are many more .???..in other lands than the American West…)..but I heard it around age 7……..on American radio (ARAMCO??) in the Arabian Peninsula:
Maria…..pronounced Mar–I–A as in “They Call The Wind Mar-I-a”
Way out west they have a name
For Rain and Wind and Fire
The Rain is Tess
The Fire is Joe
And they call the wind Mar-I-a
That was Frankie Lane 1914-2007……..but since the tanker was hit off the Arabian coast…and that peninsula sure has A Natural Oil Bonanza………..gotta go with a Cartwright, Pernell Roberts:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRFqgZQZ-VE
Oh, London Paul (the Sirius Report Podcast ….$4.75 per month) says NO WAY…it was the Saudis…….as there is a peace for prosperity and development perspective emerging in the area…between Iran and Saudi Arabia …and MBS and Putin are due to meet next Monday.
“I have no proof that Israel was behind the attack….but it is certain they will be suspected as the ones wanting to derail such a Saudi/Iranian détente..” …or words to that effect…. were what I heard from his podcast recorded today.
https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2019/oct/11/iran-says-oil-tanker-struck-missiles-saudi-arabia/
The two missiles evidently were for “changing the narrative” as they came nowhere close to sinking the vessel…or even killing anyone…..it seems…(quick reading) which berthed on the Saudi Coast …made quick repairs….and continued its voyage.
Yeah but the price of a barrel of oil went up so perhaps that was the reason for the attack, we had gas w/a 1 handle on it the other day.
“6 Ways Salem Witch Trials Were Fairer Than Dems’ Impeachment Inquiry ”
The Salem Witch Trails were one monumental hoax. All roles – victims, perpetrator, jury, judge, extras – were played by Jewish Mafia lifetime actors. And, yes, our Jewish propagandist is right, the Dems’ Impeachment Inquiry is a hoax as well. Thanks for letting us know, we never would have guessed …

In 2008, Canadian banks were unaffected by the sub-prime mortgage fiasco (just by the ensuing fallout) because many years earlier, in a Chretien majority government, this guy, then Finance Minister Paul Martin told the big Canadian banks, “no”, when they asked for legislative reforms (which would have allowed the Canuck banksters to join the party.)
I wonder if we can get a glimpse of what Trudeau Liberal policies might be vis-à-vis banking from these interviews with Martin. These were from this summer. (BTW, does anybody know what he’s up to right now? Was he at the UNGA too??)
https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/paul-martin-calls-for-very-public-fight-against-trump-s-world-view-1.1289060
Last month, when Trudeau’s campaign plane was struck by a bus and sustained damage to its wing, I laughed heartily at one online commenter’s quip: “The Liberals have a left wing??” (*Exactly* IMHO) But then why is Trudeau wearing a bulletproof vest at a rally last night? Is the ‘French connection’ that threatening to TPT(wanna)B?
Today I checked in on the Twitter accounts of a few Canadian journos (Susan Delacourt, Chantal Hebert and more) and it’s led me to be even more concerned about the Trudeau bulletproof vest incident. A few questions:
1) This specific situation aside: is it possible for anyone in the world to order an assassination of a Canadian PM other than the President of the USA?
2) If this is an open American attack, does this demand some military response from Canada? (Don’t worry NATO Article 5 allies, no one from your armies will be sent — or welcomed — here. Trans-Pacific support only. Not the first time for this discussion. That’s how I remember it, anyway. Could be mistaken.) If some military campaign takes place, does this then become WWIII or is it possible for a localized conflict?
3) How is Mexico’s AMLO, who really is a leftist, faring?
So… answers come quickly (and privately) sometimes. Food for thought (although I feel queasy.)
Yes, it’s a localized campaign.
Russia will close off the airspace. To everybody, trans Atlantic.
Sweden’s invited. So is Australia. Japan will help.
No superpowers involved. The US of A is no longer considered to be one.
Yes, we can win this fight. The military’s got your back, regardless of who’s in power. We report to the Queen, via the Governor General.
(While this seems legitimate, maybe I’m receiving messages from an astute hacker. Buyer beware.)
Apparently we’ve taken Detroit. It’s under covert Canadian occupation. Here’s PM Trudeau campaigning across from Detroit earlier today, BTW.
https://globalnews.ca/news/6030766/liberal-ndp-coalition-election/
“…With the Detroit skyline behind him, Trudeau also argued that Canada needs a strong progressive government to stand up to mercurial U.S President Donald Trump.”

Kent, you will have my gratitude forever for introducing Joe Bonamassa on this site!
His music, the youtubes of appearances, his musicians, are of a class that is unmatched today IMHO.
I’ve listened to him over and over since your post.
Thanks!
When you like Joe Bonamassa -as I do- , have you ever seen this performance with Beth Hart? I consider this as a true classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Doy72nl9ZU4

Cheers

Col:
Good on you, Col. We will need a report, heh.
Drive on for Joe, absolutely none better in his blues-he owns them.
Best,
Taras
Thanks Rob!
Yes, I’ve listened to Beth Hart many times in the process of listening over and over to all available of Joe’s concerts.
She has an ability to project her soul and her anguish in her voice, an effect which is indeed chilling. When combined with Joe’s blues coming from his guitar (indeed in your selection the backup is chilling), the total effect is complete emotion.
This is also one of my favorites from Ms Hart: (Fire on the Floor)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV2BiD9LCn8
That’s a beautiful song from Beth Hart, thanks.
You decribed the music quite well – blues is so much more than a music style, it’s essentially a feeling, I guess.
Ok then – introducing a blues musician that I really like, though he’s untypically a ginger Italian – Zucchero Fornaciari. Here’s a duet he sang with John Lee Hooker, ‘Ali d’Oro’. The story goes, that John Lee Hooker was introduced to him – with the asked girls to fluff him up- and that Zucchero asked him to just sing what came up to his mind. John Lee Hooker came with this beautiful ‘I lay down with an angel’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReMX1oUha1Y
A few weeks later John Lee Hooker died. Zucchero and his music still lives.

I’ll take the Rach 2, any day-my favourite piano concerto.
Rach 2, Rach 3? Something like Mach 2, Mach 3 ? ;-)
Do you people mean the 2nd and 3d piano concerto of Rachmaninoff?
If so, I’m with Mulga. For many years already. Btw, thanks for the Albinoni link, that’s also beatiful.

Report from the Transhumania Front of the class war:
https://www.infowars.com/california-shutting-down-ham-radio-networks-despite-recent-wildfires-blackouts/
Preventative electrical outages came without planning or much warning about 3 days after many people in the rural red area of California had received their pension, social security or other forms of so-called “entitlements”
and had stocked their freezers with food for the month. No one is happy. My friends invited me up to their mountain abode for a feast of half frozen meatballs which they promised to grill and then they sent me photos of what their mobile home park looked like after dark. There were candles, kerosene lanterns and some campfires galore–all holding strong amidst howling winds. So much for fire abatement measures . At least PG&E cannot be sued because of shoddy line upkeep, monitor or repair. And that, we know, is the bottom line.
Good practice for “end times” perhaps? My community is served by a ( gasp! socialism!!!) municipally owned gas and electric company and there were no outages. This may be due to the advantage of living poor in a wealthy community, however.

Funny enough… remained in ‘that’ Intuitive space while getting there or about… and in my mind working on a ‘Love in the air, split hair’ type of stage settings.

Molten salts in a Twitter tidbit

Safer spots higher on wild runs
For wiser ‘feathers’ like our suns

Blood oil, exploited by IS in Syria, were transported into Turkey. Accordingly Turkey was an ally of IS(IS).
But the oil were shipped out of Turkey and probably have ended up as a US oil supply. USA is an ally of IS(IL) in fact it was their creation. So northern Syria became a strategic territory for USA. One must take all this into account when trying to understand the turkish military attack on northern Syria. Rojava as it is called is not an natural ally of USA . But Turkey is and a member of NATO.
The democratic model of PYD (established by kurdish refugees from Turkey were often PKK (communist)) do not suit USA purposes which is controlling the trade and resources in the region. It has nothing to do with democracy, the foreign policy is run by the deep state represented publicly by CFR and ECFR, Brookings Institute, Bertelsmann-Stiftung and so on, and interestingly these interests also expanded into the rest of the world through trade agreements and the Trilateral Commision for example (Rockefeller Rotschild syndicate), are called national security of USA. They are both USA, UK, and EU, and who control all main post within politics and the political parties.
These want to control Kurdistan themselves, and the easy way for them is a Turkish military occupation whereafter USA and the internationals mentioned may manipulate the territories of occupation and Turkey can be blamed (Erdogan plays his role). Controlling the territories of Kurdistan in such a way may well expand into the internationals controlled flow of oil creating a permanent occupation of Syria and the region under another pretext in the future. So we see the zionist agenda that is taking place, suddenly the kurds in Rojava are everyones enemy .
After WW1 the Mideast borders were redrawn so that each nation could be accessed by the sea. This cut out the indigenous landlocked kurds for they were not able to trade as a region but simply got broke up in 3 separate countries each having their own political systems. Without having the ability to trade as one region, their ability to compete was handicapped, being seen as the financial weakling among 3 religions, a religious thinning of the herd began, as the herd anticipated its extinction, it fought back. As the religious war continues, and the #’s continue to dwindle, no one knows what the future holds for the Kurds, not even the Kurds.
Let’s have a little “background dig” to the Unfolding Kangaroo Zoo south of the Canada – US Border…”Impeachment” with the accused unable to face his accusers……………and soberly analyze what Polly St Germaine has found out....going back to 1945….source documents some from way back then ……involving NAZI collaborator George Soros………..and his paid pawns ………..in Canada deployed into Ukraine …..starting before 1990.
Alberta, wake up!
Anti-Corruption is the New Corruption by Amazing Polly 46,820 views•Oct 10, 2019
The source documents are put on the screen and the names and dot connections are assembled right here:
https://youtu.be/VHud_qBZrhM?t=338 at 5 minutes 42 seconds for you to determine in a few seconds if this “dig” is worth digging into…….a little more deeply.
Let’s see:
1) Soros selects Bohdan Hawrylyshyn a (not) Ukrainian economist……to leave Edmonton, Canada in 1988 and go to Ukraine….become Chairman of the Soros Foundation there in 1990 to ” help(sic) steer its course into Democracy”.
2) His son Oleh Hawrylyshyn becomes Deputy Minister of Finance. Under Zelensky? Not sure….Oleh. Bohdan and other Albertans with hard to pronounce names popping up a lot in Ukraine, all Soros proteges…says Polly but here’s a name I could relate to more readily:
3) Freeland. ……………….No not Chrystia….her mom Halyna Freeland…….
arrives in Ukraine in 1992 to “work on” wtf! “a doctoral thesis in Women’s Studies”. Suddenly, the Fairy Tale Empire Narrative goes…..she is asked to put together a proposal for her ‘ideas’ (you can bet the whole setup is Soros’ ) for ‘legal reform’….in Ukraine…and with “reformist deputy” Serhy Holovaty…………and presumably Bohdan H writing the check for George S himself……The Ukrainian Legal Foundation is launched.Ukraine is becoming an “Open Society!”
Wonderful! What could possibly go wrong???
4) Other Canadians, and Edmontonians move in to complete the wrecking job: Bohdan Krawchenko, a third Bohdan….Budzan….”rebuilds” the Ukrainian Civil Services and, get this …dark humor doesn’t get much better!….”expedites the reform process….and promotes the independence of mass media..” George Yurchyshyn….another Cannuck deployed to join the wrecking party:..”There is no place on earth where the Soros Foundation is so plugged in at the top.” he marvels of his owner.
And so forth. But don’t get depressed!
People are waking up. Just read the comments:
A couple of samples:
Jmaxboom:
Miss Polly, we all love you here. We also heard Shaun Attwood say he might do an interview with you, that would be fantastic..
As for the United States /Ukraine situation……. It is all about exposure of decades-long corruption. I was not always a President Trump supporter, but I am now turning my attentions to what is actually happening. You have inspired me to do tons of digging and read everything, This whole Ukraine situation is just the tip of the iceberg I fear. Thank you for everything you do you’re great.
Soros money also involved in the Adam Schiff syndrome.(his sister is/was married to Soros son).
But Gerry Coogan corrects the error (Swallow ALL the bait and discrediting confusion results…) :
“Adam Schiff is as dirty, corrupt and evil as anyone can be and he’s completely owned by Soros but the story about his sister marrying into the Soros family is a complete myth. I have no idea why it’s circulating so widely because it’s not hard to check it out. For one thing, Schiff doesn’t even have a sister.”
The digging has to be precise……….people have to learn not to get carries away…………and discredited.
And more to the point than the dirty details……………is the Method…………….The Satanic Inversion…..that Polly “gets” in her title Anti-Corruption is the New Corruption
which IS a diseased methodology not only in Ukraine……..but right here in the USA, right NOW.
UKRAINE….and Canada…..is a most important key to quite a lot of current history.
And Schiff IS most definitely assigned to…keep that key hidden….now….at ALL costs.
People should get over their TDS ..ever so briefly….LOL… .and at least commit themselves to making that bug-eyed little weasel for Soros and Satan…. FAIL.
I have lived in Alberta since ’78. While what you say about the nazis being settled here is true, I’m not sure if people care. The young ones don’t know or care and the old ones are pretty well dead. The people who know the truth about the recent 90’s war in Kosovo, refugees,can’t get any traction in speaking truth. I tried to write a letter to our local paper , hand delivered it even. Published it on this website. I commented on Justin’s visit a few years ago to Ukraine in which he visited the Azov Battalion and gave a nazi salute. And don’t get me wrong—I lumped the red commissars, the haganah , and the nazis into the same bag and said his father would be rolling in his grave right now: at least Trudeau senior despised ideologues.
I ll just leave this right here. Eye opening for those of us who are not russio philes. Speaks a lot about the extent of Jewish influence on Russia and Putin.

Incidentally I think Saker should do Know More News show. He has a lot of info on the 5th columns influence on both American and Russian politics.
Concerning our duty as human beings to care for the weak and vulnerable among us: During the sudden electrical outage in Transhumania at 3AM a man totally dependent on oxygen woke up in a panic and died trying to reach his back up tank. you may scoff at this suffering ; after all people suffer more around the world every day, he had a severe underlying condition etc etc
The fact is that this happened in a fairly wealthy society in non siege conditions makes it an even worse affront against common decency. I worked as a respiratory therapist for years . The terror of someone unable to breath(akin to water boarding I suppose) is horrific.
Here is what “gruesome “ Newsom former mayor of SF and currently governor had to say ( whether he believed it or not):
“This is not a climate change story as much as a story about greed and mismanagement over the course of decades. Neglect, a desire to advance not public safety but profits.”
It is not so much the sacrifice that bothers people but the spirit in which it is carried out. And there temains a bad taste in people’s mouth which isn’t from the smoke.
Right, we have, as a nation, built more than we can maintain. Its all aging, the people being able to fix things should have become a priority years ago, as with fore site.
They ask me “what would all these people do if most everything lasted forever” My response is that we’ve already built enough junk, how about the ability to fix all the junk. Then just crickets.
I cannot cease to be amazed by Nancy Pelosi’s claims regarding the jobdescription of the House representatives citing her constitutional duties of checks and balances and claims of working and creating impeachment investigations in order to uphold the constitution.
It is revealing to realize that such checks and balances are not a part of the constitution, it is a fraud.
There shall not be an acitve check and balance by the House, that is part of the President’s duties.
The duty of the legaslative branch is to pass bills (legislations).
The House shall have the sole power of impeachments. What does that mean?
The constitution is pretty clear. It is all related to criminal behaviour in the government up to the highest level, the president in which case it is described as high crimes and misdemeanors, bribery and treason.
It does mean however, that a crime must have been committed, and exposed by a law enforcement agency or commonly a police agency. Only then has high crimes and misdemeanors, bribery and treason been committed and must be judged upon. In such a case, the House must prepare the impeachment proposal for voting and pass it over to the judgement of the Senate (and subsequent voting) for removal from office .
As we know , neither Rep. Pelosishe or the body of the Democrat party uphold the constitution
as representatives of the legislative branch since they are generally blocking new legislations required of this time, for example passing trade agreements required by the constitution. On the contrary the Democrat party are sidelining the constitution by their legislations over time, and specifically infringe on the people’s rights. In effect high treason (including misrepresenting the constitution and passing unconstitutional laws).
Regarding starting investigations a legislative branch shall not do so anywhere and certainly not in the House of Representatives.
Ecuador’s President Moreno Places Nation’s Capital Under Curfew, Military Control
https://sputniknews.com/latam/201910121077035761-ecuadors-president-moreno-places-nations-capital-under-curfew-military-control/
“The Ecuadorian Armed Forces announced that movement will be restricted across the country for the next 24 hours, according to Reuters.
“I have imposed a curfew and military control in Quito and its surroundings. It will come into effect starting 15:00 [local time, 20:00 GMT]. It will facilitate the activities of law enforcement agencies against excessive violence,” the president tweeted.
Earlier in the day, the mayor of Quito, Jorge Yunda, said that Moreno had agreed to reconsider his decree to end the decades-long fuel subsidies, the cancellation of which as part of an IMF loan austerity stipulation was the trigger for the violent and ongoing popular protests across Ecuador.
“The president, taking into account the complexity of the situation, has agreed to analyze Decree 883 one more time. In the next few hours, he will meet with the protest leaders,” Yunda said on Twitter.
According to Moreno, Ecuador could no longer afford the subsidies and claimed that the cuts could help the country save some $2.27 billion a year. The abolition of fuel subsidies was part of the Ecuadorian government’s austerity deal with the International Monetary Fund to be eligible for a $4.2 billion loan.”
Yeah, of course, the country cant afford 2 bil for the poor, but can afford, what, 4, 8, 12 bil in loan interest to zpc/nwo banksters.
Hopefully, the protesters wont buy this bs sop:
“Earlier in the day, the mayor of Quito, Jorge Yunda, said that Moreno had agreed to reconsider his decree to end the decades-long fuel subsidies, the cancellation of which as part of an IMF loan austerity stipulation was the trigger for the violent and ongoing popular protests across Ecuador.”
You got the quisling up against the wall, don’t hesitate, pull the trigger.
RT has more detailed coverage on Ecuador:
Protesters ransack govt buildings in Ecuador’s Quito as mayor claims Moreno will RECONSIDER anti-austerity policies
https://www.rt.com/news/470809-protesters-riot-quito-moreno-agrees/
“One of the conditions was that the talks be held in public and be broadcast live. “We’re not going to talk behind closed doors. It has to be with the Ecuadorian people,” one of the protest leaders said.”
I like that response.
RE: Unconstitutional demonstrations and protest against pres. Trump rally.
While it amounts to domestic violence (see US constitution) targeting people’s peaceful assembly (see Amendments of the Constitution) it is a major violation of the constitution, crimes against the United States (federal crimes).
The right to peaceful assembly is a primary right and can not be infringed upon (The Amendments of the Constitution). Accordingly those that target a primary right shall be arrested by law enforcement of the United States as under Article IV Section 4.
The executive Branch (Under the President , the law offices of the federal government shall provide protection , meaning arresting and prosecute violators of major violations to the constitution).

Always looking out for good movies and they are scarce. Looking for something to do on this Sunday? Here is an old old French tearjerker and also funny movie with lots of history connected to it. The rumors go that it was banned at some stage and it does look like something happened. I have a copy in my bunch of good movies and it is a favorite that we return to every now and again and always find something to laugh about. So on youtube, the versions of this movie are now cut into pieces, spliced and sliced with all kinds of stupidities in between and there is no good version. I think at one time many moons ago, there was a copy with an English soundtrack but then again, I may be wrong. So, I was happy to find this one on vimeo, fair quality and fair english subtitles.
For those that have not seen it, it a must watch. For those that have seen it, it is a watch again sometime. Refreshing to watch something that does not bombard you with current day idiotic social correctness themes.

One of my faves! Thank you for bringing it back to life.
Another charmer is Milagro Beanfield War- a far uglier and near humorless ‘oil field’ version which I am now living through.
Alas and woe as that big boot stamps on the face of little Ecuador and its brave and foolish indigenous. I did find an occasion to smile at a short video of a tiny little grandma throwing pebbles and sticking our her tongue at the police and the police laughing and stepping out of the way. And another of a native woman handing out bananas to the military. It is still all so human here- far too much so for the likes of the imf machine.

We Know that a Nobel Prize was Awarded to a Person who did Not Maliciously Slander the Innocent Serbian People or the Innocent Serbian President, Slobodan Milosevic.
This year’s Nobel Prize for Literature was Awarded to Austrian Author Peter Handke, has aroused Unjustified criticism from the Liars, Slanderers, Terrorists, and War Criminals, because of Peter Handke’s past Support for Slobodan Milosevic’s Government, and for the Innocent Serbian People.
Peter Handkle would Also have had the same reactions from Nazi England and from Nazi America, as the Western Weapons Inspectors of Iraq had, who said that Iraq and Saddam Hussein did Not have any weapons of mass destruction, but We All Know that the Evil Nazi Terrorist War Criminal and Warmongering Anglo America, Wanted a War Based on Lies.
This is because their Leaders are Anglo Saxons, but Not even one Anglo Saxon can deny such things these days.
The Nobel committee said that for several Decades, Peter Handke had produced “influential work that with linguistic ingenuity has explored the periphery and the specificity of human experience”.
Nazi Anglo America had demonized the Innocent Serbian People, and the Innocent Serbian President, and I realize that there are a few good Anglo Saxon People, but Nazi Anglo America Maliciously Slandered All Serbs at https://www.globalresearch.ca/demonization-slobodan-milosevic/763 .
After Deciphering the Lies spoken by the English author Orlando Figes, the Facts are that he was deeply shocked that an Honest Person who defended an Innocent People and an Innocent Government, that was trying to defend the Innocent Serbian People along with the Innocent Albanians, from the Terrorist KLA and Nazi NATO, had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature at https://www.globalresearch.ca/slobodan-milosevic-the-killing-of-an-innocent-man/5541534?utm_campaign=magnet&utm_source=article_page&utm_medium=related_articles .
Orlando Brownnose Figes said that because he is English , and we Know what America’s first 50 % Anglo Saxon Resident of the Whites’ House, Barack Obama, along with the Anglo Saxon Hillary Clinton did to Libya.
Peter Handkle Knew the Facts, Regardless of the Lies, and he Chose Not to Kiss a certain part of the Anglo Saxons’ anatomy, as Nazi NATO did, and where Nazi NATO, which includes Nazi Poland, Knew All Along, and for Decades since then, the Malicious Slander and the Lies that the Evil Nazi Terrorist War Criminal Anglo American Fourth Reich Spewed regarding the Innocent Serbian People, and the Innocent Slobodan Milosevic.
These NATO Nazis Cannot provide any Honest Answers, or even Confessions, because their lips are Preoccupied with being on a certain part of the Anglo Saxons’ anatomy, which they Think is Fitting for them.
This is because, these People Want to be the Brownnosed Puppets of Nazi Terrorist War Criminal NATO at https://www.globalresearch.ca/search?q=Kosovo&x=0&y=0 .
Nazi Terrorist War Criminal Anglo America has done the same types of things Deliberately on Many Occasions to different Countries.
Nazi Terrorist War Criminal Anglo America has committed Coups in South America, and they are trying that against the Democratically Elected President of Venezuela.
England Recruited Jeffrey Epstein to Secretly Film Influential Americans in Acts of Paedophilia, in order to Reaffirm that America is England’s Secret Puppet Colony at https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/money-and-power/a28339290/royal-family-prince-andrew-jeffrey-epstein-relationship/ .
We Know that Advertising Pays, and England Arranged for Jeffrey Epstein to have an Elaborate jail break, so that when he Visits Leaders of Countries, and they talk with Epstein and the other passengers on his Secret Visits to their Countries on the Disguised Lolita Express; be it in South America, or the Middle East, or Elsewhere, and when these Leaders see that Epstein is Alive, then they are Assured of Discretion, and of Indemnity from prosecution, and Epstein was Filmed Alive 3 weeks after his Alleged suicide, because Advertising Pays at http://aanirfan.blogspot.com/2019/08/epstein-rothschild-mandelson-savile.html .
We Know that England Stole Gibraltar from Spain, and England Stole the Falkland Islands from Argentina, and Argentina is having an Election in a fortnight, and the Brownnosed President of Argentina has recognized the attempted usurper of the Venezuelan Presidency, rather the Democratically Elected President of Venezuela, Nicholas Maduro, because he Knows that the Anglo Saxons are White, and that the Complexion of Latin Americans is Brown, and he thinks that All Latin Americans should be Puppets of Anglo America.
The Prime Minstrel of Canada, Justin Trudeau has put on Brownface at https://compote.slate.com/images/fa7a63f6-3a4c-4a85-b2c4-7b9b177fa1ff.jpeg?width=780&height=520&rect=2660×1773&offset=0x0 , and Canada has revoked the status of Syria’s Honorary Consul, because Canada is part of Nazi Anglo America at https://www.syriana-analysis.com/watch-shame-on-canada-for-revoking-the-status-of-syrias-honorary-consul/ .
We have heard that there might be a Deal on Brexit, and it could be that Northern Ireland may be given Autonomy in Trade Areas, and the United Kingdom and European Union Border might be on the Irish Sea.
I spoke to someone who is from Northern Ireland, and I asked him regarding a possible Confederation between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, or even a possible Reunification, and he said that it would be Difficult, because the British Pensions are Superior to the Pensions from the Republic of Ireland, and if Britain Increases the Pensions for Pensioners on Gibraltar, then that would be viewed as trying to justify Stolen Land, but Spain can Increase Pensions for Pensioners on Gibraltar, in order to try to reclaim Stolen Spanish Territory.
There Could be some People who Think that the Real Reason for beginning the Illegal War in Syria, and the Middle East generally, was to put Palestinian Refugees in those Countries, because of Nazi Israel’s Stalinist Policy of Involuntary Population Transfer, rather than Voluntary Refugee Resettlement, and does Nazi Brownnose Poland have anything to say Regarding this, since it is Allegedly Anti Stalinist, and since it was so Vehement on Territorial Integrity of one of its Towns of German Ethnicity, and where some People say that this was the cause of WW 2, but they are Not concerned with Serbia’s Territorial Integrity, or Syria’s Territorial Integrity.
There Could be some People who think that Israel, America, and Turkey have Discussed this a long time ago, because Turkey has Kurds and Israel has Palestinian Arabs, that they Want to put them in Syria, and that what Israel, America, and Turkey have done, and what they are doing in North Eastern Syria, is for this Evil Secret Reason.
It is for these Reasons that some People Think that Turkey Should Follow International Law, and Work with Syria regarding any concerns over alleged terrorists or actually terrorists that threaten Turkey’s Sovereignty and Territorial Integrity.
Orlando Figes is scum, so if he has attacked Nandke so much the better for Handke. The attacks on Handke in the Guardian sewer have been particularly vicious, but one thing that lying peddlers of fake news really, really, hate is a truth-teller who exposes their filthy and habitual lying.

No fires right around me that I know of………….in the OC…yet.
No blackouts either.
But Teranam’s reports and my Red Pilled Sister up in rural Oregon at least put the issue on the outer rings of my radar……faint blips…..but I’m adjusting the settings……..to see if any pattern emerges.
She emailed a few of us this morning:
“frankly, I’m not hearing much.. but I did hear about the simultaneous explosions.. and that there ARE fires.. but not where or how bad they are .. and turning off electricity in no way guarantees no fires … in California or elsewhere.. wondering is it’s back on yet..
https://twitter.com/Ph03n1x24/status/1183014695395049472/photo/1”
I read through the thread…which is consciousness terms …………..is rather “electric” with anticipation.
Of course one person’s Direct or Alternative Current………….is another person’s……… Static
I just replied:
“Thanks for putting this on our radar screens……..
Whatever the reality underground or with fires erupting (there are ALWAYS fires this time of year…dry brush….Santa Ana Winds…it’s the anomalies in the concentration and coordination that might tell you something….OR nothing…I lack the data….) I like the fact that a lot of people’s antennae are tingling and there’s a sense of humor….besides all the dread, the excitement, the questioning….”.What is a DUMB??”…….Answer: Deep Underground Military Base………….reflected in this Tweet….far down the thread:
“Got to get to the store and buy more tinfoil….before they run out!” LOL
PS: The opening Tweet in the thread suggests there is some sort of underground (tunnels and Deep (State) Underground Military Bases) war going on……..coordinated explosions along the proposed high speed rail route…and other interesting elements…..all only interesting speculation, for me, at this early stage of observation.
All I know for certain, at this point, is that imaginations are aflame…………and movies and reality have SOME relation….as We Are A Species That Tells Many Many Competing Stories.
You may want to have a look at Emir Kusturica’s film “Underground” (1995).
A very useful and detailed interview with Ecuador’s previous president, Correa.
Ex-Ecuador President Correa: ‘Lenin Moreno’s Government is Over, He is a Puppet of Lobbying Groups’
https://sputniknews.com/interviews/201910131077013677-ex-ecuador-president-correa-lenin-morenos-government-is-over-he-is-a-puppet-of-lobbying-groups/
“Rafael Correa: No. I do not think that there is an information war, everything is very clear. What really exists is the “wall” of the Ecuadorian press, which has obscenely been supporting Lenin Moreno for these two and a half years, so much that people on the streets react negatively to the journalists from Teleamazonas, Ecuavisa, El Universo, El Comercio. They do not want to learn anything from this press but prefer to receive information from small radio stations, from the alternative press, from the regional press.
The hegemonic press was Moreno’s greatest accomplice, it was linked with him; it is part of the government so much that, for example, the son of the Diario Expreso owner is the Minister of Transportation. This government abolished the Communications Law, stripped it of content and left only the framework. To hide the mistakes and horrors of this government and brutal repressions there exists this wall – manipulation and complicity of the media. We have an immature democracy, which is still surprised by such things.”
He covers a lot of other subjects, as well, and describes how the right wing moreno quislings took a vibrant, growing economy and wrecked it in 2 years.

Continuation of the discussion of the explosion of national debt in 2007 of $9.4 trillion to $19 trillion in 2016 to $22.8 trillion today:
https://www.theburningplatform.com/2019/10/13/underestimating-them-overestimating-us/#more-205171
(very long article but well worth the time to appreciate the greed and evil the oligarchs/central bankers have foisted upon this country)
From the article:
If you told anyone in 2007 the national debt would go from $9.4 trillion to $22.8 trillion in twelve years, they would have called you a loon and laughed you out of the room. Now the national debt is 105% of GDP and consumer debt exceeds $4 trillion. Millennials are enslaved with $1.6 trillion of student loan debt, up by $1 trillion since 2009. The ruling class and their propaganda machine have convinced the masses $1 trillion annual deficits are normal and sustainable. Nothing bad has happened – Yet.
It is a slow decay and so rarely noticed, yet I can attest that worst is yet to arrive and there is no telling just how bad his reaction(s) are going to be. He might bluff and fold, or raise and get whipped.

When asked how he went bankrupt..Ernest Hemingway replied…”Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”
The exact same scenario will apply to the Hegemon. The “gradually” phase is all but over as the Fed is all in now… QE till bust. The US’s financial train wreck is an absolute mathematical certainty. The only thing in doubt is the time frame. With an epidemic of money printing and financial chicanery, it could be six months or even six years down the track.
History will look back in aghast astonishment on how the most powerful empire that ever existed was so moronic as to allow their economy to be completely controlled by a central bank that was 100% owned by a cartel of thieving private banksters.
One of the all-time extraordinary and fascinating periods in history unfolds as we blog.
Once upon a time the sun never set on the British Empire…except it did!

Ecuadorean Situation Report: The Battle for Middle Earth Against the Empire’s Orcs
Much of the Ecuadorean government fled Quito more than a week ago with their tails between their legs. The government seat is evidently now in Guayaquil, in the south of the country.
We’ll see how long that lasts.
I am reminded of how the British governor of colonial Virginia, Lord Dunmore, fled Williamsburg, Virginia in a panic in May of 1775 to Porto Bello on the York River, before sailing away on a British ship that was laying at anchor awaiting his arrival; all of this succedent to the approach of Patrick Henry and his well-armed, 150 man Hanover County Militia down the Lower Peninsula to the outskirts of Williamsburg, on the eve of the so-called American Revolution.
The harsh terms of the multi-billions of dollars of IMF loans are unbearable for the majority of Ecuadoreans, most of whom are quite poor. So many thousands of people have taken to the streets.
The current chaos in Ecuador is a broad-based, popular uprising against a criminally corrupt government.
Discretion being the better part of valor, the President and Vice-President and others saw fit to abandon the national capital more than a week ago.
Yesterday, in my part of town, there were running battles in the streets between hordes of protesters and phalanxes of police. Actually, my neighborhood is not the exception, but the norm. There are protests, marches, confrontations with the police and military, road blockages and more, all over the country.
Protesters broke into the National Assembly building and the National Comptroller’s offices yesterday, and set fires and sacked offices.
Many roads and streets are blockaded by protesters. Many streets are clogged with rubble and barricades, especially, but not only, in central Quito.
The protests in Quito yesterday morning and afternoon, and in previous days, were MASSIVE. The government has lost control of the Ecuadorean street, and has lost popular support; that is why it has relocated to Guayaquil, in the coastal south.
What does it mean when a national government abandons its own capital city? This is an unprecedented event in Ecuadorean history, and in the history of most countries, I should think.
There was a lot of tear gas in the air yesterday, and pitched battles raging around major government buildings between protesters and government police forces and military units. Helicopters came and went to the National Assembly building through the smoke, explosions and chaos, delivering more munitions to the government forces. To say that the scene was violently chaotic and surreal is an understatement.
I hasten to caution that the Ecuadorean chaos should not been seen in isolation from events in the rest of the world. The whole world system is going to be rocked by the time the period of great change that we are now entering runs its course. Indeed, major events are already beginning or are underway all over the planet. But there will be a noticeable crescendo as we approach the second week of January. All of these events in Ecuador, in the USSA, in Syria, the Ukraine, Iran, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Venezuela, the BREXIT situation, the collapsing $$ dollar, the collapsing bond market and pension funds, the sharp uptick in earthquake and volcanic activity, the appearance of extra-solar-system “comets” that are just happening to zoom through the solar system at this particular time, the appearance of other planets in the near Earth vicinity, and much more, will all come to an immense crescendo in 2020 and won’t let up for a period of years. Much of what is to come, and has already started to occur, will be extraordinarily intense.
Much of this is karmic, in that so many souls have so much negative karma that they require the opportunity to balance their karmic debt. And the negative karma will be balanced, spectacularly so.
What is coming won’t be an academic exercise. We will all live it; and hordes of people may well die in dramatic, mass casualty events.
As I said, we are about 90 days away from very MAJOR events that won’t let up for about 2 to 4 years. The aftermath will be of an extended duration.
Very heavy events are getting ready to go down.
As for Quito, it is crawling with spies. I assume that most of them work for the IMF, the CIA, the National Police, etc. Over a thousand people have been arrested. I am a known dissident, so if I disappear, make an uproar. The Feds/CIA and/or the National Police/military here in Ecuador are well capable of disappearing dissidents in all of this confusion. They have been arresting people in recent days and hauling them away by the many hundreds. Who knows if all of them will make it back home again in one piece?
The tear gas projectiles that the police are firing by the thousands are actually 12 gauge shotgun shells with a tear gas cartridge, instead of the pellets of a normal shotgun shell. They are not really sub-lethal munitions. If you get shotgunned at short range with that stuff you are either dead or badly wounded, and there are now many dead and wounded. I have seen some hauled away in jury-rigged stretchers made of blankets and wooden poles who were in very bad shape. I attended the solemn funeral procession of one of the first, fallen warriors a couple of days ago, as pall bearers carried his coffin down the 12th of October Avenue under the watching eyes of a horde of National Police and Army soldiers surrounding the National Assembly. It was a very dignified and moving event.
As I said earlier, many of the main figures in the government abandoned Quito last week and fled to Guayaquil in the south of the country.
What does it mean when a national government abandons its own capital city? Isn’t that a retreat, or a de facto concession of defeat? We’re in uncharted waters here in Ecuador.
Last night there was a “banging pot” protest starting at 8pm, the hour when the government mandated curfew begins. People appeared in their windows and balconies in defiant protest, loudly clanging cooking pots with spoons and knives.
The national government is despised by many at this point. There is no government, only oppression. The monsters have taken off their masks.
It’s an open dictatorship now in Quito.
Just wait, what will happen in the USSA in 2020 is likely to make events here seem like mere child’s play, by comparison.
My neighborhood is at the epicenter of the massive battles that have been taking place. Yesterday the demonstrators burned and sacked the Ecuadorean Comptroller’s Office. It was very chaotic. Lots of streets and highways are blockaded and barricaded. There were many thousands of people out in the streets and parks. The word on the street is that 30 people have been killed. More than 1,300 have been wounded. I have seen many wounded myself, some of them severely wounded. If you get shotgunned at close range with one of the 12 gauge, tear gas projectiles that the police are firing by the thousands, you’re going to go down very hard, and may lose a leg, or an eye, or may even be outright killed.
The police and military moved in with great force and violence yesterday afternoon and swept through the streets and parks in packs, on foot, on horseback, on motorcycles and in trucks, dressed in black body armor, firing tear gas everywhere. I couldn’t see, couldn’t breathe, was gagging and retching uncontrollably, could barely walk, stumbling blindly along. It was overwhelming. It was a Hell scene with choking, searing clouds of tear gas everywhere, incessant explosions from the tear gas bombs and loud, flash-bang bombs all over the place. I somehow made it back to my room, but there were swarms of cops in packs all over the place going through the streets. They swept down the avenues in motorcycle platoons dressed all in black. The horses of the police cavalry are also covered in black padding, body and head. It’s fascism, no doubt.
It was like something out of a science fiction movie, or the Lord of the Rings movies. I am not exaggerating when I say that what is happening in Ecuador and in Quito is a battle for Middle Earth against the Orcs of the Evil Empire. The cops and military look like Orcs and they act like Orcs. Ecuador does sit directly on the equator, and really is in the middle of the Earth. Just a few miles north of Quito is the internationally known tourist spot called the “Middle of the World” — La Mitad del Mundo.
I can tell you that over the last 11 days I have had more than my lifetime quotient of tear gas. Lord have mercy. It’s strong stuff.
Don’t get me started on the armored vehicles from Hell that roam the streets firing tear gas. I mean it, they look like they’re from Hell and are operated by Satan himself — and maybe they are.
There are more than 1,300 of injured and many deaths. The word on the street is that there have been 30 killed, and maybe more.
The government has declared war on the people. We’re dealing with deep evil, great Satanic evil in positions of power. in Ecuador.
President Lenin Moreno has imposed military control on Quito. I don’t know what happens next.
Despite what the government says, this is a spontaneous, popular uprising against a totally corrupt government. The repressive measures and violent policies that Lenin Moreno has mandated only makes him more extremely unpopular than he was before. There is now broad based disdain and opposition to the national government.
Many of the young men battling in the streets against the government forces have served a year or two in the Ecuadorean military. They have had weapons and combat training. The front lines of these battles are quite dangerous, with protesters and police/soldiers engaging at very close range. I don’t go closer than a block or two away. I am not involved at all in that combat in any way. People are getting badly wounded and even killed at the barricades. It’s veryextremely noisy and violent. The tear gas is overwhelming beyond belief, and the government forces are firing a lot of it. Clouds and clouds and clouds of it. It will bring you to your knees or lay you right out.
The Ecuadorean government no longer has any meaningful base of support in the capital city, especially in the central and southern neighborhoods. Lenin Moreno, the National Police and the Army have burned right through whatever goodwill they may have formerly enjoyed.
For now I am O.K. I’m taking it a day at a time, a week at a time.
Mind you that we are just 90 days away from a time of incredible upheaval, in politics, economics, military affairs, geological dynamics, and more. The Saturn-Pluto astrological conjunction on 12 January 2020 will set the tone for a very tumultuous 2020. What is happening in Ecuador now is likely to be totally eclipsed by much larger events in the USSA and elsewhere.
The Lenin Moreno regime is highly unstable and is unlikely to persist. The more he clamps down, the more he is despised. The protests in Quito have been massive and widespread. The people do not want this government.
All of the links that follow are of scenes in Quito over the last few days and couple of weeks.. As compelling as they may be, they do not begin to do justice to the incredible ferocity of many of the events transpiring here.

God help us all if the USSA decides that it needs to send in the Marines to restore “freedom and democracy” in Ecuador, as has happened in so many other countries over the years, including elsewhere in Latin America.. They always — always — make things much worse.
In my part of Quito everything is closed — stores, markets, banks, shopping centers and malls, government buildings and offices, many of the highways and the airport are closed down, thousands of people are in the streets. There are no local buses, no inter-cantonal buses, no inter-provincial or inter-city buses. This matters greatly in a country where the majority of the population do not have a car (though there certainly are many people who do own cars). The government estimates that the social and political unrest is costing a quarter of a billion dollars per day to the national economy. I saw what was coming, so I went out and bought twenty pounds of lentils and fava beans to help tide me over. That’ll last me for two or three weeks. It’s not 4-star cuisine, but they’re cheap protein sources, something to fill the belly.
Hopefully the markets will open up again later this month.
Ecuador is entering a very tough period, no doubt about it. But not to worry, there is going to be real political upheaval and social unrest in the USSA, too. You’ll see what I mean over the next 3 to 18 months. It will be quite something. The global system is irretrievably broken. Ecuador just happens to be a small, poor country in South America that is one of the first to spectacularly crack under the burden. The debt in the USSA astronomically eclipses the debt in Ecuador, so just imagine what happens in the Lower 48 when everything dramatically unwinds, as it must and will. Ouchie!
Those of you in the USSA might want to buy some rust-proof, metal trash cans with lids, and fill them with non-perishable foods. Don’t take food supply for granted. Starvation will kill as surely as surely as a bullet or a 12 gauge tear gas shell fired in anger.
Don’t assume that current, chaotic, violent events in Ecuador cannot also come to a country near you. They can, and maybe will, with harsh effect.

There is nothing more utterly terrifying for any country on earth that is experiencing difficulty than to hear these words from Washington…” we are here to help”.
Thank you so much for your epic update…bravo to you and may I convey my very best and sincere wishes to you and your loved ones.
Col
Thank you so much for this report and the truly remarkable street photographs. God be with you.
Slowly, the shelves are thinning here in the states. The items can now breath and be seen as this trade war drags on. But somehow I believe that the cup cakes and twinkies shall always be arriving to feed the poor, and the truly rich live on ciggs, chocolate and cocaine so their calorie consumption is very low, as are their hours of deep sleep. The ones caught in the middle though, do need a plan, like spags.
Take a page from Russia, make your own shit, no need to buy shit made a million miles away. Make Yourselves Great Again. No? Or as Auslander says, “how many people would know how to………………..?” And that’s the issue………shelter, water, fire and food, the basics.
US Lawmaker Uses Image of Russian Battlecruiser ‘Pyotr Velikiy’ to Commemorate Birthday of US Navy

“A US military veteran and US House representative Brian Mast congratulated the US Navy with a tweet on Sunday. It would have been a mundane congratulation if only one striking detail did not attract attention. Mast attached a picture of the Russia’s powerful Pyotr Velikiy battlecruiser to his post.”
A republican skinhead. He is an army veteran, so perhaps ships are confusing to him. They don’t have wheels or treads, you know…
Reminds me of how the Americans decimated ISIS in Syria.
Saw a documentary film on construction of Golden Gate Bridge, detailing, as much as possible in one hour, the various intricacies of the design and planning, and the construction techniques; all backed-up with archival film footage, showing an impressive demonstration of man’s ingenuity. One particular point made throughout the film: the incessant squeal of naysayers, who from beginning to end, criticized and lambasted the entire project; when, despite their soothsaying projections of failure, the Golden spans miraculously joined over the waters (under budget—ahead of schedule), the nit-pickers and rabble-rousers, immediately turned their beady eyes away from their ingloriously crassness and folly, never to recant, of course.
What’s the point? The point is bias: the bias of the ignorant and uninformed, bias of the stupid and misled, bias of the naive and purposely provoking; bias is intrinsic to all, and for most, it must remain unbattled, since they do not know of it, do not perceive it, and will not hear it; the insinuation of bias is heresy! Furthermore, the skeptical are treated as enemies, and attacked endlessly for their crime, of rocking the fantasy boat of deception—truth is the enemy of the average person, despite their nonsense appeal otherwise.
This bridge was planned and built by a master bridge builder; the entire project was a culmination of a successful lifelong career; there were hardly any others, who, at the time, could have duplicated this feat. Nonetheless, the naysayers reigned right until the end, totally convinced of their rightness, declaring boldly that the Golden Gate could not be built—but it was. For a brief time, the scoffers were silenced.
Thinking to the Giza pyramid, where many ideas have been proposed regarding its construction, and then falsely presented to be fact, what is little more than unsubstantiated bias and conceit, much twisted by a narrow logic. The logic is narrow, because there remain greater mysteries than raising stones: anyone can move rocks around, to some purpose, or not, but few, if any, are master builders. The G.G. bridge was built with a purpose: to span, elegantly and economically, a swift ocean tide; to bridge two neighboring lands, by suspended roadways; to create distinction and forward movement for a far-flung Western land. Why was the great pyramid built? —Is it a bridge, a rocketship, maybe a telephone booth? No one answer is sufficient, because its origins lie in mystery, and its function is an enigma—those who say otherwise are liars or fools.
Until a reason is understood, until the question, “what is it!?”, can be answered, speculation regarding construction is wasted breath.
I feel that the problem with discussing the Kurds is that they’re too often lumped in with the YPG and PKK and SDF. These are terrorist groups and rebel groups in Syria. We must understand that most Kurds live normal lives and have nothing to do with these groups.
Anyway, that’s just my opinion.
By the way, I hope that the community and I will get along. Thanks in advance.

An interesting series of photos on Turkey’s military offensive in Syria. Notably, many photos are shown of Akcakale, Sanliurfa province, southeastern Turkey, at the border with Syria, where civilians are shown fleeing from incoming mortar fire from Syria, and so on. This would suggest that Erdogan’s offensive actually has some merit, in terms of national defense, doesn’t it?

Mixed Messages from Russia on Syria
by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman)
Time and again, Vladimir Putin, Sergey Lavrov, and other Russian officials expressed strong support for Syrian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Since 2012, Kremlin efforts have gone all-out to restore peace and stability to the country, so far unattained despite most areas liberated from US-supported terrorists.
It’s because the US occupies and controls 30% of the country, won’t leave, and wants endless war for regime change continued.
Cooperating with the Obama and Trump regimes on Syria and other geopolitical issues by Russia consistently failed to produce positive results.
Nor is future cooperation likely to turn things around with a nation bent on transforming Russia into a vassal state, its resources plundered, its people exploited, a scenario similar to devastating 1990s shock therapy under US puppet Boris Yeltsin.
Kremlin support for Syria is tainted by de facto support for Turkish cross-border aggression — based on Big Lies and deception.
Russia vetoed an EU Security Council resolution denouncing Ankara’s cross-border war. The following day, it blocked a draft SC statement, saying its members “expressed deep concern over the Turkish military operation and its implications, including humanitarian and security dimensions,” adding:
“They call upon Turkey to halt its military operation and to make full use of diplomatic channels to address its security concerns.”
What’s going on? Russia can’t be for peace and war in the same country at the same time.
Failure to denounce Turkish aggression supports it. There’s no in between. Russia’s mixed messages makes conflict resolution all the harder.
It’s devastating northern Syrian areas terror-bombed, shelled, and otherwise ravaged by Turkish forces.
It’s greatly exacerbating Syria’s refugee crisis, hundreds of thousands of civilians in harm’s way, seeking safe havens away from ongoing fighting.
Turkish aggression is more greatly destabilizing Syria overall. Supporting it by Russia mocks its call for US and allied forces to leave the country.
Lavrov blamed Trump for Turkey’s invasion by green-lighting it and redeploying US forces in northeast Syria away from territory Ankara seeks to control.
He accused the Trump regime of “contradictions (that) could ignite the entire region” while ignoring Russia failure to denounce what’s going on, effectively giving Erdogan its own green light for cross-border aggression.
Until Erdogan’s breach of the Russia, Iran, Turkey Astana agreement, these countries were at least nominally allied in seeking restoration of peace and stability to Syria.
They formed a trilateral mechanism for furthering these objectives and monitoring ceasefires.
They agreed to continue combating ISIS and al-Nusra, as well as other groups breaching the ceasefire, stressing conflict resolution is only possible diplomatically.
Following days of Turkish aggression, the Astana initiative is in tatters.
Ankara breached Syrian sovereignty. Its aggression is all about seeking to annex its territory.
Establishing a so-called “safe zone” in areas bordering both countries has nothing to do with helping Syrian refugees return home, nothing about enhancing Turkey’s security, everything to do with Erdogan’s revanchist aims.
Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov ignored reality on the ground, saying Russia supports “Turkey’s right to ensure it security” at a time when its only threats are invented, not real.
Interviewed jointly by RT Arabic, UAE-based Sky News Arabia, and Saudi Arabia’s Al-Arabiya, Putin said “(a)ll the forces deployed illegitimately inside any sovereign state – in this case Syria – must leave,” adding:
“This is true for everyone. If Syria’s new legitimate government chooses to say that they have no more need for Russia’s military presence, this will be just as true for Russia.”
“Syria must be free from other states’ military presence. And the territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic must be completely restored.”
Given the above remarks, similar to ones he made before, why did he OK Turkey’s cross-border aggression — unrelated to phony national security threats?
Why did his government fail to denounce it? Why did he instruct his UN envoy to veto EU condemnation, then block a similar statement the next day?
Syria has been ravaged by US-led aggression since early 2011. Turkey’s cross-border invasion makes restoration of peace and stability to the country all the harder.
It also inflicts greater misery on long-suffering Syrians in harm’s way.
From one direction, they’re terrorized by Turkish troops, from another direction facing the scourge of US-supported jihadists
Lendman usually provides a useful, if brief, summary of the subjects he writes about. This piece by him missed the boat, though. Seems to be sourced to a guardianista fake left pov.

what truly great news UN going broke lol
https://needtoknow.news/2019/10/the-un-is-going-broke-again-as-the-us-has-stopped-paying-its-assessments-again/
The UN says it is going broke because the US, which funds about 30% of the UN’s budget (about $10-billion per year) once again has stopped paying. The UN says that one-third of all member states are delinquent in payments this year. President Trump told world leaders last month that the UN needed to ensure that “no member state shoulders a disproportionate share of the burden.” State Department officials said the US government would pay up soon. [It always has done so in the past and undoubtedly will continue.]
and then there this ladies and gentlemen and no I have no comments just questions?:
https://leozagami.com/2019/10/14/the-antichrist-fatima-prophecies-and-prince-charles-in-rome/
I announced over a month ago Prince Charles’ arrival in Rome to see the Pope for the canonization of Cardinal John Henry Newman, C.O. (1801 –1890) the first non-martyr English Saint since the Reformation who was also a former Anglican priest. This unprecedented act is regarded as highly important by the Illuminati elite of the New World Order because it is done in preparation for the unification of Christianity and, of course, the upcoming false Church of the One World Religion that will serve the Antichrist. A video of this historic event is present on the site of the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera:
Actually I do have a comment about this “battle for the environment” by way of a question? Given all that the bible has to teach about climate change as the work of divine communication how come this sic question mark Father of the church knows nothing about its teaching? He actually thinks its industrial pollution?
The Prince of Wales can be seen in the video shaking hands with Pope Francis and complimenting him at the end of a brief chat for about his “battle for the environment.” This is, of course, referencing the ongoing Synod of Bishops for the Pan-Amazon region still taking place in the Vatican that is a very important part of the globalist agenda.
“See, the storm of the Lord will burst out in wrath, a whirlwind swirling down on the heads of the wicked. The anger of the Lord will not turn back until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will fully understand it clearly.” (Jeremiah 23:19–20)

This interpretation only justifies that today’s humans are indeed savages, and that rising sea levels and larger rainfalls contributing to a higher cost of living should only increase in the future as this life is a one way ticket, costs shall never decrease. I doubt the people fully understand this clearly. I mean who, or what, is worse than a savage?
@ Alabama
if only the savages can get a ‘wise mind’…
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” Mathew 7:24
Do you think Jesus was hinting at something?
“The Lord is slow to anger but great in power; the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished. His way is in the whirlwind and the storm, and clouds are the dust of his feet.” {Nahum 1:3}
I believe whirlwind in the modern vernacular is a tornado?
further who’s the cloud artist?

Its doubtful they ever could get a wise mind or they would not be technical savages.
And my whirlwind was a Vatican financial vacuum cleaner sucking up the last change the peoples of the planet has. You don’t honestly believe the people would be so well off if all their debts were paid up in full?

Philosophy’s Aspirant Tin-Pot Dictators
___
Over the period in which I’ve been covering the frolics of philosophy’s Woke Brigade (PWB), I’ve tried to maintain an overall amused (and amusing) affect. These are, after all, very silly people behaving in very silly ways, and as I near the end of my time parenting a teenager, I’ve learned that when confronted with juvenile behavior, a humorous ribbing is usually more effective than a head-on collision. But there are actions so egregious, so malicious, so destructive that they cannot be dismissed as mere adolescent antics, and I’m afraid we have reached that point with the PWB. What they are doing now seriously threatens the professional credibility and public standing of our discipline, and anyone and everyone who cares about academic philosophy needs to oppose them in the strongest possible terms.
The rest: https://theelectricagora.com/2019/09/08/philosophys-aspirant-tin-pot-dictators/
We Know that the President of Turkey has spoken words of criticism of Nazi Israel, in February of this year, regarding the Mistreatment of the Arabs of Palestine.
There are some Arab Countries, who have Not criticized Israel to the same extent, for the Mistreatment of Palestinians as Turkey has.
There is a saying that says: We see what you do, and we hear what you say, but What is the Real Motive Behind it, and was it perhaps to deceive People by pretending that Turkey was at odds with Israel, because of being a friend of Arabs, while perhaps in reality, Turkey was only making a virtue out of necessity with regards to the Palestinians, and perhaps Turkey was being callous with regards to Syrian Arabs.
Historically, for several reasons, the Turks have had Less commendation from Arab Countries, as perhaps the Turks Think that they should have had.
Perhaps it Could appear that Turkey Alleges that it has concern for the Arabs of Palestine, and Perhaps it Could appear that Turkey has little concern for Arabs of Syria at http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2019-02/02/c_137795605.htm .
There Could be some People who Think that if Turkey had concern for the Arabs of Syria, then it Would have mentioned that the President of Syria, Bashar al Assad, is the Legitimate and the Democratically Elected President of Syria, and Turkey Would have said that the Evil Nazi Anglo America Fourth Reich, along with Nazi Israel are Guilty War Criminals, who have Maliciously Slandered Innocent Syria, and Committed Many War Crimes in Syria.
I will try Not to make accusations, unless they are Obvious, but I Will mention what Could be considered to be some Apparent Inconsistencies, and state some Facts, and People can have their own opinions on this, and Could this be happening, Because America is Nazi England’s Secret Unofficial Puppet Colony, and America is Also Nazi Israel’s Puppet, and they can Offer Turkey what it Wants; whereas Syria Cannot offer Turkey anything regarding Kurds in Turkey or offer Nazi Israel anything with Regards to the Arabs in Israel, Unless it is Stolen Annexed Territory by means of Nazism, such as the Golan Heights and Northern Syria at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Areas_annexed_by_Nazi_Germany .
There Could be some People who are Wondering Why this is happening only days away from a possible Brexit.
I do Not understand Economics and Trade, and so I have No opinions on the Brexit negotiations.
We will have to wait to see if there will be a delay in Brexit, because of some reason.
There were Suggestions that there might be a compromise, and I mentioned in another comment, that perhaps Northern Ireland might be given some Autonomy, which would include Trade, and where it could remain in the European Common Market, and the Customs Union, while being a part of the United Kingdom.
I do Not care how long the Brexit negotiations go on for, because Britain and the European Union would Prefer to reach a Mutually acceptable deal.
We Know that Turkey has Kurds, and Israel has Palestinian Arabs, and Turkey Also has Syrian Refugees, Possibly with Bribed Palestinians hoping to escape years of Persecution and Injustice from Nazi Israel, and who Could be mixed in with those Syrian Refugees, and it has been Alleged that the European Union has Not been sufficiently Paying Turkey to look after those Syrian Refugees, and Turkey said that it is Not concerned with American sanctions, because England and America can Transfer Money to Turkey, and Turkey can Purchase what is Wants on the Black Market.
There Could be some People who Think that England timed Brexit, so as Not to be in the European Union to coincide with their Scheme for Turkey to take all of the blame for England’s Involvement in the Evil Scheme for an Anti European Policy toward Mainland Europe, with Turkey Threatening to Release millions of Refugees to Europe, if Europe calls what Tukey is doing as an Invasion, with trying to Annex Syrian Territory to put those Syrian Refugees, and possibly along with Turkish Kurds and Palestinians in Northern Syria, or Elsewhere in Syria, even as Nazi Anglo America has Schemed to work against Continental Europe with Kosovo and with a Nazi Ukraine, as Anti European Policies for Mainland Europe, to try to prevent or delay a European Self Defence Force, because All Europeans can see that NATO is a Nazi Organization, by Sanctioning Ethnic Cleansing in Syria and Turkey and Israel, even as Nazi NATO Sanctioned Ethnic Cleansing by their Puppets in the former Yugoslavia, and Nazi Ukraine, and it was Nazism that Destroyed Europe in WW 2, and they say that those who do Not learn from the past are Doomed to Repeat it at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_transfer_in_the_Soviet_Union , and at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_active_separatist_movements_in_Europe .
Most of Continental Europe Mainly has itself to Blame for this, because of its own Nazism, and Also with Allowing themselves to be Deceived by the Cunning, Devious, and Deceptive Nazi England.
We Know that America’s President said he wants to stop endless wars, even though he is Spending Big on the Military, and America Never had any legitimate reason to be in Syria, because it Only had Illegitimate Reasons to be there, which were to Transfer Palestinians and Turkish Kurds to Syria, then America Knows that this next Phase of that Evil Scheme against Innocent Syria that began years ago with the original Anglo American Engineered War, has to now be done Only by Turkey, for the Obvious Reasons.
There Could be some People who think that England Should help pay for the Resettlement of Syrian Arabs to their Homeland of Syria, but Not for the Transfer of Turkish Kurds and Israeli Palestinian Arabs to Syria at https://www.usdebtclock.org/ .
There Could be some People who Think that the Syrian Refugees should be paid an amount of Money every week for one year, that is the Equivalent to half the average payment of Continental European unemployment benefits, so that they can Sustain themselves while they are Rebuilding their Communities, and to Encourage Voluntary Resettlement back to their Original Location, because Syrians Prefer to be in Syria, rather than in Europe.
There Could be some People who Think that this Could be Funded by Continental European Countries halving their Military Spending for that one year.
There Could be some People who think that Israel, America, and Turkey have Discussed this Evil Scheme to annex Syria a long time ago, because Turkey has Kurds and Israel has Palestinian Arabs, and they Want to Many of them in Syria.
There are some People who Think that what Israel, America, and Turkey have done, and what they are doing either Obviously or Subtly in Syria, Could be for such a Secret Evil Reason, and there are People who Think that because of History and for Turkey’s own Benefit, that Turkey Should be both Reasonable and Responsible, and work with Syria regarding this at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_Genocide .
It is for these Reasons that People Think that Turkey Should Follow International Law, and Should Work with Syria regarding any concerns, over Terrorists that Threaten Turkey’s Sovereignty, or with its Territorial Integrity.
