@SG and all
They are HK police not china – this is important as they are under 2 different systems.
Like many who pointed out the problem, if this was under the china legal and police system, none of those would even start.
For a start the china ppl, though they too many many complains, knows 1) history and 2) math. How can a few hundred, or thousand or as they so badly want to claim, 1 million ‘special interest’ ppl group win against a country of billions, with particular flavour of regime, unlimited funding for all kinds of toys and are ascending in international status? The dumbest color revo ever in all human history!
Again, my unfounded imagination for their ultimate endgame, the highest and the most hidden level, is on the 812-styled money graveyard. I think they are looking for a pin to a bubble and HSABC may have been selected, since Douche and all other Euro bank are all chicken out and pussified. None of them are willing to bear the bad name and be shamed for all human history. They all saw how Lehman was remembered by THE PPL. Again when it comes to ‘banks’ – think unnamed private family group. HSABC is also uniquely located in HK, which is Asia, which is supposed to be under China sphere of control but yet its not under china’s control, notably The USDHKD PEG. The ‘players’ are making some very graphic symbolism through the black bloc idiots.
If and when, HSABC bank is pushed out of the window, and not coming back, all other banks will mysteriously unload their dung to the then-dead-HSABC and they will be relief and suddenly feel lighter and alive again. The same ONE TRICK PONY script all over again. And the post-roman western-regime extension system may run for another hundred years… maybe, they hope?
Think carefully, if and when the Eurasia regime is dominant on earth, what definition will they modify on ‘freedom’, ‘privacy’, ‘sovereignty’, ‘private property’ etc? It would at least have a eastern flavour, not necessary a CCP flavour. Hopefully a cultural defined, not political dictate flavour.
Again, all gov are regime and all regime comes and go. But ‘flavour’ can last a long time, like Old Rome is thought to be in the history section, and yet all of western civilisation is but an extension of that system/regime. Everything, from accounting standards to taxation/tithing, to money laws to phallic gender identity to nuclear family concept to individualism etc.
The east don’t do it that way or don’t necessary do it that way, let’s say the Indian/Iran way of life. India/Iran is also a big part of the east, not just Russia and China, and they too will want to re-define the New World and is in the process of ‘making the new world’ but sadly, the west only saw it as dedollarisation. Its much more than that! 1984 to different level of readers, reveal different layers of hidden and deeper meanings.
Back to HK and HK police – yes there are noticeable internal conflicts. Basically its the same as the entire HK-state. There are those who are pro-old-world (old extension of colonial-British-roman regime) and there are those who are pro-new-world (new China under Xi flavour). There are ways to ‘make HK better and ensure its ‘freedom’ status in the new china’ but “the dumbest color revo ever in all human history” sure ain’t one of them.
Why has CCP not acted? Because they are riding high on inland china youth circles thanks to HK dumb boys. CCP has spend millions and millions trying to ‘capture’ the loyalty of that group and they failed miserably and now its a free gift for them! Why would they stop it? Especially HK, in economic sense is minuscule to them now. Pride of the country is not what money can buy.
Why has Lam and the HK politician not acted more? Because there is an election coming also in HK, and if this mess is not sorted by then, there are higher chance the HK ppl will want the current gov-team to stay on (since CCP has basically hands off with their firewall fully erected). So the unofficial gossip is saying.
Why does the HK police not break the becoming regular and routine riot-pattern? Because they have spies within them and there are at least 2 factions as mentioned above. Because their personal life and the family are being attacked. Because some of them do genuinely care for the clueless rioters and care about them being ruin by a criminal record (and potentially what CCP will follow on years after) Because the HK legal system is under the western cabal.
That leave the rest of the public – I deemed the ‘collateral damage’ grade.
Those who are rich and are not blacklisted or namelisted, will migrate and live out their remaining years in a new country. They too saw that HK, even if order is restored, CCP China is unlikely to chip in to rebuild it earnestly. So the next 50 to 100 yrs is dead for HK, that is 3 generations.
Those who are unable to escape will die with the ashes burning and the ruins of HK as a backwater port. That’s their fate and luck.
Those who are black bloc, if they dont kill themselves due to shame and unable to face the world they have damaged, will for the rest of their lives be under the shadow of guilt and pain. Question: Which of the Tian An Men protest leaders and participants feels like a hero now? History ppl. Learn.
If the gossip is true, this HK burning is expected to last till next January, possibly March. But something should happen, I would think, after the CNY – the beginning of a new 12yr lunar cycle. The starcharts demands that. That is, if the post-roman system does not collapse before then. The money boys are all chocking for ‘money’ as seen by the orange man ‘sourcing money from everywhere” so much so he is willing to do “anything”, even those of ‘UN-american’. They are all so willing to sell ‘the other’ out to live another day. That could only mean, they have no more trust in the old-roman regime and its pride toys – the dollar and its MIC twin-brother. So if the dollar is no longer ‘valuable’ on the market place, maybe xmas will never come.
That’s why I said the western dumb boys have no idea what they are doing in HK. Its way more than a few bucks or few millions buck in the particular participants pockets. They have been ‘GO’ into writing their Requiem and they still thinking they are winning.
Let’s try hard not to be their ‘collateral damage’ grade.
Pls do be safe, you and your family and your cultural group.
Thank you for your message, ?,
You are right that there seems to be tension within the banks and HK-USD peg.
From Oct 14. (the same day you wrote for comment) the HK Monetary Authority decided to inject liquidity into the system:
“Economic indicators and other relevant evidence have signaled that the economic environment in Hong Kong has deteriorated significantly since June 2019.” Mr. Eddie Yue, the Monetary Authority, said. “Lowering the countercyclical capital buffer at this juncture will allow banks to be more supportive to the domestic economy and help mitigate the economic cycle.”

https://www.scmp.com/business/companies/article/3032890/hong-kong-adopts-its-version-quantitative-easing-release-hk300
HK Monetary Authority is expecting a recession and a banking crisis..It will be interesting to see how long the HKD- USD peg can hold.
Thanks also for your comments on HK police!
We can all agree, Trump did good with the Syria situation. We can also agree that the whole situation seems to be clearly highly orchestrated and there is some good Russian military planning there. In terms of military power projection, Trump has little to lose because the US still controls Iraq – but maybe not for long. Perhaps he gets the message to get out of the middle-east and let Israel stew in the cooking pot of their own making. We can only hope but there is those Jewish children of his in the White House.
Then can anyone explain to me why on this good earth he wants to now sanction Turkey? and not leave them to Syria and Russia and Iran and Hezbollah to deal with?
I am quietly doubtful of those ‘children’? Could it be just like the script from Barry’s – loaned for LARP?
and previously we have hitlerman’s illegitimate daughter? and other you know who royal mixed blood?
They love these kind of ‘i cover your eyes’ magic stuff… Just saying… what else would they do that is not in their ‘chosen’ blood?! Ha … thats their entire ‘kingdom’!
“Then can anyone explain to me why on this good earth he wants to now sanction Turkey? and not leave them to Syria and Russia and Iran and Hezbollah to deal with?”
Because the American people, despite vastly improving in political savvy over previous decades…….are still mostly ……Dumb As Fence Posts……. and just as fixed in US vs Them ………..”Be True to Your School” adolescent idiocy.
Therefore……… Optics Continue to Be More Important Than They Should Have To Be……..for short term electoral reasons…….as the bulk, the majority………all across the Identity Spectrum……. need to be spoonfed and have their diapers changed….and have a new genre of Bedtime Stories read to them ….for at least another year or two….to give them time to grow up.
Between 2020 and 2024 their maturation process in developing the capacity to support and contribute to a Competent Anti-Empire Presidency taking office in 2025 will be of utmost importance.
Multiple Generational Decay, Mind Control and Infantile Identity is not reversed fully in anything less than multiple decades.
“Between 2020 and 2024 their maturation process in developing the capacity to support and contribute to a Competent Anti-Empire Presidency taking office in 2025 will be of utmost importance.”
LOL, keep the goy marks pining for an illusionary utopian future that will never arrive, so that they tolerate/overlook that you continue raping their rear in the present.
The Zionazi policy for the Near and Middle East in unremitting violence and chaos. The intention is to keep the whole region from stabilising and developing societies that could oppose Israel and rescue the Palestinians from unending horror. In other words, the Eretz Yisrael project that has been central to Zionazism since its inception, and was outlined in the Oded Yinon Plan and its later reiterations. Their puppet hyper-power goes along, of course, any other course being ‘antisemitic’, and also to keep its friends, the Sordid Barbarians in power, and US control over the region’s hydrocarbons intact.
“Then can anyone explain to me why on this good earth he wants to now sanction Turkey? and not leave them to Syria and Russia and Iran and Hezbollah to deal with?”
Ummm, because trump, and his israeli owners, didn’t want the Turks forcing israeli’s american/nato terrorist enablers out of NE Syria and wanted to continue using their kurd proxies to destabilize Syria.
Trump didn’t “do good”, he was forced by Turkey, Syria and her Allies to take the only viable option available to him. For this, he, and his israeli owners are enraged due to their impotence and that they were completely outmanuerved.
See a previous comment (the first para, in quotes, is from a moa piece Amarynth posted which my response was a reply to):
“Since last year Trump looked for a chance to move the U.S. troops out of Syria. The borg made that politically unfeasible. The Turkish (Russian) move gave him the excuse he needed.”
This is pure nonsense, an attempt by zio-asset bernhard to spin the zionazi trump quisling in a positive light. Neither trump, nor his zionazi-gay owners have made any effort to cease their war on Syria voluntarily. They staged provocations incessantly, they increased sanctions and support for the zionazi terror proxies, they continuously ramped up the propaganda war. These are not acts by a regime intent on stopping a war, but those intent on continuing a war. Had it been politically feasible, trump would have done a Libya or a Yugoslavia. But he couldn’t get the public and political backing and Syria’s allies made sure trump knew the military option would be very costly.
The terrorist enablers are bagging it right now because if they don’t, they seriously risk a nato vs nato conflict. One that would surely be the death of nato as a viable military alliance. Trump and his likud owners have no choice, Turkey gave them no choice, either get out of the way or see off nato. It’s not about the pr bs of trump wanting out of the Mideast region, which is pure pr bs, he is actually increasing the u.s. presence in the wider region to increase the zionazi war against Iran, trump is being forced out, very much against his, and his masters’ wishes. The sods have been completely outmanuerved by those they looked upon as inferiors.
The Principle of the Flank:
Predictably fixed positions in warfare, science, economy or any other human endeavor ……….are not the most conducive to victory, discovery, or any further development of civilization.
Mobility, adaptability to new conditions, flexibility of strategy and tactics are vital, and where “the action”, the creativity, the profit, the scientific advancement, the cultural development, the evolution are located…………not in rigidly fixed, immobile physical fortifications, foxholes etc, nor in their mental ……political………nor psychological equivalents.
Yes, those working in advert agencies need to continually adapt their sales pitches to meet the changing public perception of the value of the product they are selling. It is unfortunate these people put all their effort into selling these toxic products.
Advertising is, in my opinion, purely malignant. The ‘scientific’ method of manipulation through psychological and social molestation, the fomenting of feelings of inadequacy relative and absolute, the reduction of existence to a simple Skinnerian relex of stimulus and response, all in order to drive the over-consumption that is destroying the natural world, and us, all for no reason but greed and that egomaniacal self-adoration of the advertising ‘creatives’. ‘Creating’ excrement, buried in land-fill and deep inside exploited psyches. A private tax appended to good and services to pay the psychological molesters huge salaries, the greater the higher up the dung-heap, as is usual.

Ta-I do like Hicks.
It’s all about the Boundaries.
OMG .. I’ll never hear the end of it :-) Making one positive comment on Trump. Let me ‘splain …
Trump did good by getting the hell out of the way – OK he was going to be overrun so he ran first, but first first, he declared victory. That is good! We are not in an age where we can expect any more than this from this regime – as long as we see clearly what has happened. As long as they run, we can accept that as good.
Bro’s description of the population made me think of In the Company of the Blind, the One-Eyed is King. And you all know what gets described in our lifetime as the one-eyed monster :-) a.k.a. dick.
He and NATO and everybody that can lick a spoon are now trying to sanction Turkey – to my mind, it is simply bad faith and bully style nastiness … You guys won – but, we’re gonna try and kick you in the buttocks anyway.
Ugly stuff all around and nothing new excepting more and more clear evidence that the empire is nearing its end. The end phase may be long and drawn out. Regarding Syria, I think Russia and Iran has Turkey nicely trussed up and Turkey will go only as far as it is allowed.
The two zionists in the White House – well, I think they cannot tie their shoelaces really. But it is clear Trump is grooming his daughter for a presidential run.

“OMG…”
You probably will like this response even less… ;-D

Well, trump did good for israeloamerican interests, they need nato. :-D But is that good for the rest of Mir? What if trump had drawn a red line in the sand and instructed the to fire on the Turks if they crossed? What if he ordered the troops to hold position and sacrifice themselves for israel? A fight between the usa and Turkey would probably put nato into disarray short term, open rifts, and likely see the war club break up medium term.
By fight, I do not mean total war between usa and Turkey, very doubtful it would go that far. But Turks knocking out embedded units on the ground and pindos replying with air strikes against Turkish forces. Even though limited, such warfare now between these two would see Turkey booted from nato (usa has more clout), but the internal political damage would probably be fatal to nato.
Personally, I see a weakening, road to break up of nato, and the weakening of the zpc/nwo military/geopolitical power base as a good thing. And trump’s (actually his owner’s) wise decision to make a strategic withdrawal, as a good thing for the other side.
What’s not to like vot tak :-) I think I understand your reasoning here, but also the very deep frustration. I share that, sometimes in some dark night and think to myself we should just bring this all to a final end in some final cataclysmic shootout at the OK corral or something. But personally, I cannot stay there staring into that abyss and my choice is even how frustrating, I have to be on the side that creates the most ‘peace’ .. even if that peace looks illusionary for the moment. I do have my moments though.
I expect NATO to slowly erode from the inside. Just now I see Norway has refused to put US missile bases in their country and Good For Them! NATO is now somewhat of a joke I would say – recruiting Bolsonaro in South America as a type of NATO friend. I mean, how stupid can one get. They will hollow out from the inside and one day we will wake up to find them completely toothless.
This Turkish incursion into Syria is not only an incursion – I think it is orchestrated and I think Russia holds the reigns of that horse very firmly in their hands. But see what it accomplished so far. Take a look at this Vesti Video. It is downright delicious! US Withdraws From Syria With Tail Between Legs! Russian Troops Move In to Keep the Peace! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3MmXcMlNOw
The Israelis are quiet at the moment and they have no real government for this moment. I also don’t see them shooting willy nilly into everywhere – right at the moment and for a few weeks now. So, Bibi did not win the election – and the next bit is pure speculation on my part – therefore Trump has kinda given up on him. And we don’t know the relationship between Trump and Benny Gantz. (Benny the Goose I call him).
It’s the frustration with this process of 3 steps forward and 2 steps back slowly inching along to a world where the power is more equally shared and we don’t have the current zionist/ziocon hegemonic power trying to beat the drum and control everyone. I’ve long been thinking on the economic side, that Russia / China are letting the US down easy (reading Chinese press confirms that opinion) so that a fatal economic crash does not happen overnight. At least those two countries mostly have respect for all that they are dealing with, and a fatal economic crash will hurt the whole world. I see now after Trump bellowing that a deal has been reached in the Trade war, it is also again just bellowing – The Chinese are saying wait a minute, you have to cancel some of the tariffs, before we buy more farming goods. The deal is of course only for the Chinese to buy more farming goods and not a comprehensive trade deal. In the mean time China’s trade with the rest of the world, even Mexico is increasing by orders of magnitude.
So, I think there are many moving parts to where our world is moving to. The US is reaching clapped out stage economically, as well as dealing with a massive crisis of governance (same as in Israel, same as in the UK and the EU can only clack their toothless beaks). The only real ‘weapon’ that the US has left, is economic sanctions and nobody cares a damn, as other financial instruments are now taking over clearing houses like SWIFT. This last weapon is being taken away from them a little at a time and soon they will find themselves only tilting at windmills. We also know what is most dear to Zionist hearts .. the Benjamin’s baby — so, with the economic situation, the Neocon/Ziocon relationship will change and the Zio’s will have to act like humans and work with other people. (Possible? that is questionable.).
Patience my friend. In our lifetimes we will see NATO in the dust, and my favorite – moving the UN. I also want to see Syria taking back the Golan Heights, the Gaza strip relieved of their jail and freedom for Palestine. A one state solution will serve those Zio’s just right! Just imagine … Then I want to see a few countries join back up with their Russian mothership. That is just the beginning of my peace list and I hope when I die, some of these are ticked as complete on my peace list.
amarynth, very good points – I agree.
How old are you? I want to know because, if you are in your 80s or 90s already, then your predictions may become true very soon and I will probably be around as well to see them happen. But if you are in your 20s…
” I think I understand your reasoning here, but also the very deep frustration. I share that, sometimes in some dark night and think to myself we should just bring this all to a final end in some final cataclysmic shootout at the OK corral or something.”
LOL, that is close to opposite of my reasoning.
so, will we see chelsea for the democrats and ivanka for the republicans? should be entertaining ….. pass the sick bag, alice.
I have often wondered how the western media is actually controlled and by whom. This is an article by a former reporter turned whistleblower in Germany.
https://off-guardian.org/2019/10/06/watch-udo-ulfkotte-bought-journalists/?fbclid=IwAR3ytfusLpB3zA42m6vlDgbj8TpFlDuFoy1P11e8zqS8IuUOFlbz_48QfnA
One of the things that he describes deals with a conclusion that I had already come to. The control is limited to politics and foreign policy. For instance, travel editors are honest but – at the same time – they know what is allowed and what is not allowed. However, travel reporters will generally give you a good and accurate report. Ditto with movie reviewers and so on. They are generally honest except as to sensitive issues in their domain where they know that there are certain issues that they must misreport even if they know better.
But a core of key reporters on issues like foreign policy are little more than intelligence assets.
This article is a good read and some of it even shocked me.
So mike from jersey is a guardianista, whood a thunk… :-D
Has anybody watched this video (in English) between Aleksandr Dugin & bernard-henri lévy?:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x70z5QWC9qs&feature=youtu.be
Maybe Saker would like to comment?
Dugin just disappoints me each time. He should have been prepared with statistics and facts, but instead wants to waffle off into some philosophical sphere whereas the other party is well prepared in the language of the West and Russia Bad! Dugin is also not well enough grounded for this kind of open warfare disguised under sweet talk.
OK thanks amarynth, I haven’t really bothered with Dugin, but was hoping he would wipe the floor with levy.
Could Dugin be a character for western consumption — an intellectual version of these guys?
BHL is a clown.
…. a sad clown, a clown that one may humiliate physically as with a pie or with insults (the crown of thorns), but not one that can be defeated with logical arguments– no, the thought guild must not, will not allow it.
After his Streicherian propaganda work in regard to the destruction of Libya, and general Zionazi aggression, I’d put Levy in the same category of ‘clown’ as John Wayne Gacy. Gacy was less of a narcissist, however.
I watched it and it was really disappointing to see Dugin struggling to reason with someone who deserves only one kind of treatment, such as during Lévy’s visit to Belgrade. Enjoy!
Peter Koenig describes another trump style war here. Very detailed, this article describes the economic war trump’s zionazi-nazi owners inflicted on Ecuador. One of his best efforts, I think.
Ecuador – and the IMF’s Killing Spree
https://www.globalresearch.ca/ecuador-imf-killing-spree/5691857
“President Correa left the country a modest debt of about 40% to GDP at the end of his Presidency in 2017. A debt-GDP ratio that would be no problem anywhere in the world. Compare this to the US debt vs. GDP – 105% in current terms and about 700% in terms of unmet obligations (net present value of total outstanding obligations). There was absolutely no reason to call the IMF for help. The IMF, the long arm of the US Treasury – ‘bought’ its way into Moreno’s neoliberal Ecuador, coinciding with Moreno evicting Julian Assange from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
The IMF loan of US$ 4,2 billion increases the debt / GDP ratio by 4% and brings social misery and upheaval in return, and that as usual, at an unimaginable cost, by neoliberal economists called “externalities”.
It was practically a US “present” for Moreno’s treason, bringing Assange closer into US custody. What most people are unaware of, is that at the same time, Moreno forgave US$ 4.5 billion in fines, interest and other dues to large corporations and oligarchs, hence decapitalizing the country’s treasury. The amount of canceled corporate fiscal obligations is about equivalent to the IMF loan, plunging large sectors of the Ecuadorian population into more misery.”
The way the quisling trump regime has attacked Ecuador and seeks to rendition Assange shows exactly what a duplicious pos trump is. During his prez campaign trump praised and made use of WikiLeaks/Assange published material often. As president, trump has sought to prosecute Assange and has attacked Wikileaks using his official and unofficial powers.
The trumpian war against Ecuador is hybrid, not a military invasion, but a war of aggression and conquest in the new zpc/nwo style, where everything but outright military invasion to bring a country under volonial control.
With Assange, “do gooder” trump showed he had no qualms about using people for his own gain, then putting them to the sword once he got what he desired. With his attack on Ecuador, “do gooder” trump has shown very transparently that his non interventionist rhetoric is pr, applied psywar, that is used to sell his actual policies of aggression and war by other means for advancement of the zpc/nwo oligarchy. In other words, he is no different than the previous “peace in our time” bs’ers that have immediately preceded him in the offal office.

Report from the Transhumania front of the war against humanity
The State of California has passed a law allowing gun owners whose mental health is suspect to be reported for now by lower level state bureaucrats . Well, if you voted Trump you are obviously unhinged !!! Ah, the first stage of totalitarian techie state: the list making. I received a phone call today from a friend who promised to help me buy and learn to use proper means of defense. “Let’s do it! Bring cash.”
And so it goes.
There are few people whose mental health cannot be called suspect – especially since mental health is often defined by conformist behavior.
“There are few people whose mental health cannot be called suspect”
Among guardianistas, most definitely. Given their extreme zio-fanaticism.
vot tak,
I really don’t understand how you have come to the conclusions you have come to.
If you look back at all my posts not one of them related in any way to the support of zionism. In fact, not one of them discussed zionism.
Just because someone does not agree with you on each and every point, that does not mean that that person can be classified as holding opinions that you loathe.

Fair is foul, and foul is fair:
Hover through the fog and filthy air. (Macbeth)
And so we wend our weary ways through the cafe… Only foolishness and false pride divide those striving for truth.
Buying a gun “legally” in California—first you have to register it by passing a test with a DOJ certified gun seller and wait 10 days for the DOJ to check you out. ( this is any gun—shot gun, hunting rifle, pistol etc). then if you buy ammunition you have a background check which you pay for ( of course any amounts and kinds of ammo are conveyed to the “proper” authorities.) You must pay $1 if you have registered a gun within the last 4 years or $19 for this check if you have not. Also, 10,000$ fine or 10 years in jail if you buy ammo for someone else.
So bingo—the state will know everything about everyone who owns a firearm legally. then they can start taxing you for owning a gun because the FSC ( firearm safety certificate) $25 worth is only valid for 5 years.
So much for a state that does rolling blackouts in the middle of the night—the urban legend going around (which probably has truth to it )is about the off duty sheriff deputy who shot a home intruder who decided to take advantage of the lack of electricity. With the San Andreas fault near the Mt Diablo rumbling, everone is
taking stock of the situation here in N. Transhumania, Looneylandia.
When the DOJ certified clerk smirked and added, “and it is illegal to go to Nevada and buy ammo to bring it into
California” , I gave her the gimlet eye and said “or you can make your own.” Well, we are not going to be like
Mexico with a bunch of armed gangs ( legal and illegal) running around killing us.
Not without a fight.
“When the DOJ certified clerk smirked and added, “and it is illegal to go to Nevada and buy ammo to bring it into
California” , I gave her the gimlet eye and said “or you can make your own.””
And now you have a red flag on your dossier – well played! :-/
Do what you deem right and let the “flags” fall where they may. Everyone other than the “Empire” has a red flag or two. If not, they make one up. Kinda like the tale of bad cops carrying a “plant pistol”. I, we, have all kinds of red flags for being “normal”. I’m not sure who to credit for this quote…..”I’d rather die on my feet than to live on my knees”.
This article in Foreign Affairs, “The Demolition of U.S. Diplomacy”, (linked to by Canadian reporter David Akin) discusses Trump’s influence on American diplomacy. There are several interesting articles linked from this one, and I think it’s worth knowing what’s been discussed, anyway. As a Canadian, I believed Obama 100 percent when he came to office (“hope and change – yeah!!”), and only now I am beginning to understand that Trump is carrying on his legacy in many respects (like, say, with Canada-US relations.) What I’m trying to say it that these complaints about the death of American diplomacy seem a little Trump-centric. Although that doesn’t necessarily make them false.
https://twitter.com/davidakin/status/1184270261895520256
‘U.S. Diplomacy’?? That’s the funniest thing I’ve seen all day. Next, like Pelosi, you’ll repeat that right rib-tickler ‘Our (the USA) Moral Authority’.
Yep, pretty much. So to spell it out for our morally authoritative friends — what I think David Akin was getting at by linking to this article: America – you need to call the Buckingham Palace (you know, the other big Anglo game in town.) And a quick check-in with King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden is probably not such a bad idea, either. There.
Obama endorses Trudeau in Canada’s federal election
https://election.ctvnews.ca/obama-weighs-in-on-canada-s-federal-election-backs-trudeau-1.4641296
(Hope this doesn’t stir up some unbalanced extreme MAGA white supremacist type.)
What to say – other than to agree with John4Truth from the previous cafe: “Nice, but could you make Obama more evil please? More like his own self, ( if it was there at all ).”
In the La Presse coverage of Obama’s endorsement of Trudeau, a video in included of Obama’s visit to the House of Commons in June 2016. While Trudeau is giving a speech, the camera shows Obama sitting next to Trudeau’s wife, Sophie. On my third viewing of this, I noticed suddenly that Liberal MP Dominic LeBlanc is sitting beside Sophie, leaning forward towards Obama. (You know, *that* Liberal MP Dominic LeBlanc) There’s much that I’ve missed this past four years – like the donation of two Swedish wolverines to the Detroit Zoo in 2018, btw.

Can’t resist one further post on this. Rick Mercer: ““The number of people who are going to want knees and hips in the next few years is probably equal to the number of trees that Trudeau wants to plant,” said Mercer, referring to Canada’s aging population (from the linked Reuters article.) I saw an interview with Mercer on Power & Politics where he was asked about Jagmeet Singh’s rising popularity, and he said well, he comes across as sincere, and it’s the old Hollywood adage, if you can fake that you’ve got it made. He comes across as sincere, people like sincerity.

Protection like this doesn’t come for nothing, though, does it. PBO? (Parliamentary Budget Office)
Hey, Bernie Sanders is back, I see. After the party blocked his progress before and everything.
Just to let you know, it may have something to do with Canada’s NDP leader Jagmeet Singh (you know, the sincere acting one.) Rumour has it, he has a following in the States.
More protection money?? Dominic LeBlanc was reelected too.
One phony endorses another. Obama was ‘charismatic’, but Trudeau only thinks he is.
US Deploys ‘Show of Force’ to Turkish-Backed Forces ‘Too Close’ to Troops – Report
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201910161077057101-us-deploys-show-of-force-to-turkish-backed-forces-too-close-to-troops/
“US military aircraft conducted a “show of force” in Syria after Turkish-backed fighters came in close proximity to American forces during a Turkish incursion into northeastern Syria, according to an anonymous US official speaking to Reuters on Tuesday.
The anonymous official said that the US military did not open fire but aircraft were directed over the area after troops still stationed in northeastern Syria felt Turkish-backed fighters were too close to them. The show of force by the aircraft saw the Turkish-backed fighters disperse.”
LOL, I’m reminded of the very gay tune these freaks have adopted as their “national” anthem:

“US Officials are reviewing plans to evacuate up to 50 nuclear bombs that have long been stored at Incirlik Air Base in Turkey in the wake of Ankara’s military offensive in northern Syria, according to a report from the New York Times.
The Cold War-era B61 nuclear bombs are said to be 100-250 miles from the Syrian border, according to The Guardian. A former US official told the outlet that Turkish diplomats responded to suggestions about moving the bombs by saying Turkey would start to develop its own.”

True, but a bunch more people are onto that game now, much, much faster than before, I’d say, so it is NOT all in vain, mates.

Yes, Yemen is a victim but yes, also Putin visited MBS yesterday and everything in the region is changing FAST……….but WAIT! Hold everything! Syria is higher on the list of prioirities than Yemen…ERGO: Denounce Putin for air defense system sales to KSA???……Seriously?????
…though Yemen is doubtless on the list….albeit somewhat further down…as beneficiaries of the larger coordination Russia, Iran….and YES even Barbaric Saudi Arabia are now engaged in….and Trump is exiting.
I know Anonymouse (if he’s here) will want to denounce Putin for not reversing that order of priority….but few others are that daft…..when it comes to Russian logical priorities………..that yes…even YEMEN depends on Russia getting the Bigger Picture In the Region Right….first and foremost.
AND: Yes Ecuador………and all of the Western Hemisphere has been a victim of AZ Empire for most of the time since Spain and Portugal officially gave up their colonies.….and again ….a smaller country must patiently endure and resist and persevere…...because…IMHO… the battle in Ukraine……..is just a wee bit more weighty (by maybe a factor of 1000 times!..)……. in the immediate Grand Scheme of Things...………..that ALL countries…including little ones Ecuador…Moldova, Georgia sort of depend on larger forces resolving more sanely….from the top down…mustn’t one admit, if one thinks rationally about it for a few minutes?? .
I suspect Trump and Giulani are 100 times more focused on Ukraine …..and DC…right now…………. than they are on the stinking IMF …..and all its victims around the world…Ecuador included. You’ve got a lot of the world in need…wounded all over the place. What to attend to FIRST? is the ever present question!
Ultimately, if Trump ever resolves the bigger issues but never gets around to a Friendly Hemispheric Development Perspective…rather than indifference to the IMF looting perspective of the Bushes, the Clintons, Obama administrations preceding his…………that will be a failure…and an incompletion of any positive mission….concerning the rest of the Western Hemisphere.
But at the moment enduring positive results are more dependent, even in little Ecuador…..on Americans getting clear headed on this Hunter Biden (as tip of the iceberg of the attack on Russia to enslave the entire world strategy) business and Impeachment of Trump kerfuffle …..for even so much as daring to raise the much, much, much larger issue of Regime Change on Russia’s borders (that Hunter Biden and others enriching themselves on the IMF strangulation of Ukraine to enrich Bidens…Pelosis, Feinsteins et al… directly leads to ) ….than dropping all of that…..and putting Ecuador first…immediately.

The Banks
The Banking system is nothing but an elaborate Ponzi scheme, called fractional reserve banking. The banks independently create money out of thin air. The money created & loaned in the form of credit is 90% of the fraction they have in reserve which is 10%. Because the money created exceeds the money in circulation, the banks are reliant on the money you pay with interest and repossessions. It is a rigged system of stealing real world wealth. They say the reason for the system is to expand the money supply which explains the ever expanding Debt. Nothing is going to change. The system is a rich man’s trick.

The Money Deluge
https://yadi.sk/i/CtpAGdVblmpvGg
Mike, thanks for the links, some of which I am familiar with….but it’s not that simple.
An Overview of the fuller complexity …of the matter:
Money…as well as banking…………… is a two edged sword.
On the positive side, money, as a widely accepted and commonly used, fungible (all units of account being interchangeable with all other units…..of a certain money) commodity of value accounting….or “measuring stick” of value (but not any intrinsic value in and of itself) cuts through the inefficiencies of barter and vastly facilitates trade in goods and services OF intrinsic value.
On the negative side, to this point in history, those trusted to maintain a money’s integrity. ..have regularly betrayed that trust and regularly gotten away with their betrayal.and deception.because they could count on those that they betrayed and deceived being too blind, lazy…or corrupted by the love of and worship of a mere measuring stick to bother to work to educate themselves on the matter…or work to insist on the honesty and trustworthiness of the system and immutability of its measuring stick unit of account.
Which unit of account (especially “paper” fiat….) would regularly and predictably be mutated at will by the few…to the disadvantage of the many, with occasional swings back to some sort of relatively improved integrity (as is being attempted now…with the return to the monetization of gold…and the “expiration date” of the Petro-dollar……….. fast approaching) by the public …………..until public awareness again fades, and complacency and gullibility and ignorance in mass consciousness returns.
As a result, most economists are always wrong ( equating money with “value” is the fatal error most …the vast majority of “monetarist economists” make right out of the gate….invalidating nearly everything they say…………..) on almost everything fundamental…and by way of policy prescriptions they are routinely incompetentbut not every economist makes that fundamental error.
A few economists in history realize that value in society is only increased by the human capacity (which no animal shares…) to consciously increase our productivity of labor through scientific and technological progress.
Most of the rest is smoke and mirrors, deception, laziness, ignorance and corruption…and longer term or shorter term theft.
A source of the corruption at the top is the realization by a few psychopaths that they can fool …or corrupt…………almost all the people, almost all the time.
Their temptation is massive….because experience has taught them that the laziness, ignorance and pessimism of the masses who accept their form of fiat money and fractional reserve banking.of an infinitely inflatable unit of account……….is commonplace…massive…and pervasive.
Rather than complaining about this state of affairs and deeming that it will always be so…the solution lies in becoming more conscious of this reflexive dynamic of corruption..………..and grasping the fact that “the little people”…the victims actually enable it…by their very pessimism….which IS the Corruption of the Victim……..of Corruption!.
So don’t say, “Nothing is going to change.”…because Pessimism = Corruption ..including the profound (and erroneous!) pessimism in those 5 words.
Grasp that simple reality..(pessimism = corruption) and work to change it…because there is hope…that enough people will optimistically discover ways out of the conundrum…..and it will indeed change …considerably………. if the knowledge and will to adopt new discoveries in the science of measuring value….and maintaining the integrity of the system of exchange is attained…and practiced by a conscious and conscientious public…….internationally…..insisting on much less corrupted leadership.
That outcome is entirely possible in our lifetimes.
Ergo, It most definitely CAN change, starting first with national leadership of high quality already available in large nations…(China, Russia….and “end the Fed” is also a rapidly growing mass sentiment in the USA…) very soon…and ending with the demystification of money and economics among the mass of humanity to follow, more gradually over time…….but as never before in history.
A change worth helping to make happen………. as opposed to waiting around and hoping for.
Most ‘economists’ are stooges of the rulers of society-the rich. Real economists, political economists, particularly the Marxians, but some in other schools, too, confidently predicted the 2008 implosion, and the coming ever greater implosion as trust in the fiat Ponzi scheme, and the US dollar in particular, evaporates. The Thanatopians have shot themselves in the head by using the ‘exorbitant privilege’ of the dollar as de facto world reserve currency, to impose sanctions right, left and centre, thereby forcing countries to drop it, therefore undermining its power. All based on debt and ‘men with guns’ ie the USA’s unmatched appetite for military aggression.

There have been water wars, inside India, between the states, for some time. The disappearance of groundwater, and the use of arsenic-laden ground-water from greater depths, is another calamity. India is in for a very bumpy ride, led by fascists. Not a great recipe.

This woman was arrested in Swedens main airport a couple of hours ago. The police does not tell us why. As a scientist she investigates the many rapes in the country. In the video she says nothing stupid or criminal. All talk of immigration problems are silenced. She can’t get a job and now she is arrested. She wants to give rape victims with ptsd syndroms the same help US veterans get. Not allowed.
If you know computers, has she done something wrong? Have I missed something?

Using a stock photo has backfired on Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fl), who wished the US Navy happy birthday
in a tweet using a picture of the Russian battleship ‘Pyotr Velikiy.’
The tweet appeared on the morning of October 13 when the US Navy was celebrating its 244th birthday.
It was soon deleted, but not before Politico’s deputy defense editor Dave Brown called it out, noting:
“That’s the Russian battlecruiser ‘Pyotr Velikiy.’”

Caitlin Johnstone has a piece out that I loved. She ends with:
So the establishment narrative managers now have an official three-word debunk of any criticism of the establishment which employs them, which applies even when that criticism is fully based in facts and reality. Facts are a Kremlin talking point, and anyone who believes them is Russian. Facts are Russian. Truth is Russian. Skepticism is Russian. Asking questions is Russian. Dissent is Russian. Revolution is Russian.
So let’s all get Russian then, baby. Let’s all fill our heads with objectively true Kremlin talking points and Cossack dance our way to a fact-based relationship with reality. Get as Russian as possible. Get aggressively Russian. Get offensively Russian. Get so Russian it hurts. Get so Russian it curls Louise Mensch’s hair. If they are going to start telling us that truth is Russian, then the only appropriate thing to say in response is dasvidaniya.

Instead of a concert performed only by great powers, the planet should hear the musical instruments of

politics. The head of state gave one example where different countries can find common ground: the
Syrian problem, which Moscow is actively helping to solve.

Andrew Philip Cross: Wikipedia Editing Scandal Continues (But For How Much Longer?)
https://sputniknews.com/columnists/201910131077038943-andrew-philip-cross-wikipedia-editing-scandal-continues-but-for-how-much-longer/
“Mr Cross told us that his son had Asperger’s.
“He’s not well. He doesn’t work. He spends all his time editing wikipedia”.
Asperger’s is a form of autism marked by very obsessional, repetitive behaviour which certainly fits with the repetitive, almost robotic pattern of Cross’ online activities.”
No surprise there the fanatic has Asperger’s. The Asperger’s/Autism mental defectives are reaching plague level in the west. I wouldn’t be surprised if some form of this brain dysfunction is behind many of the monsters past and present. What we commonly call psychopaths. The behaviour dysfunctions exhibited by psychopaths, such as lack of empathy, is present in the Asperger’s/Autism defect to varying degrees, depending on the type of defect.
We badly need the facts. The right kind of facts, the facts that fit me. We desperately need critical thinking. Critical thinking applied to the right kind of facts that fit me. We have a problem, some of them don’t fit, and we have enough already, they’re all placed in one basket like eggs . We carry the load of eggs around as if our lives depended on it and we’d be done for if we put it down.
Fear is everywhere. What life depends on now is mobility, flexibility of thought and comprehension. Deeper, wider, broader, sustained interest and evaluation of the nature of objective critical comprehension.
We need to regard knowledge extending beyond that defined as rigorously proven in only one area. Extinction rebellion, Ukraine, Venezuela, Epstein, what is human evil, what does it want and why ? The power of evil pervades our lives and every individual has to face and deal with what confronts her or him. It’s terrifying !
A shift of ways of grasping this and tackling truth in relation to human evil itself would be helpful. Knowledge is power, information is control but does not need to be. Only power itself dictates the need for control. And the need for power and control, ego and fear based steals free knowledge and thought !
But this is happening, in great swathes of people, this wider seeing of the whole picture. In regards to Epstein, that covers a complex, global network, it is called a ‘systems approach’ by Tiffany Fitzhenry, not limited but incorporating a multiplicity of facts and insights that generate an extended overview. Th wider it gets the more questions get asked. This is freedom from tyranny, and the opposite to what is presented as “facts” by the media, whose facts are limited and deliberately designed to hide and camouflage a system of evil operating with power and design as a functioning unit, or body, that in itself is flexible and highly mobile, organised crime.
Fully comprehensive one might say, exactly what is required by thinking and knowledge ! The power of the good, adapted and adopted by evil, even though it may tread on our toes and present challenges to our own ego and not fit, try it on anyway, knowledge is ultimately free from power.
I just read this and was somewhat flabbergasted: https://sputniknews.com/world/201910161077065273-Turkey-Says-It-Is-Preparing-Retaliatory-Sanctions-Against-US/
Let me get this straight – US troops were fighting in Syria without congressional approval, everybody looked the other way when Turkish troops crated havoc in Afrin, and now they are angry and come again with ‘sanctions’.
Especially this part:
“US lawmakers have introduced a bill imposing sanctions on Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and foreign entities engaged in defence cooperation with Turkey. ”
Wait a minute. Isn’t Turkey part of a defence cooperation called ‘NATO’, and harbours a large NATO airbase -including nuclear weapons- at Incirlik? Which is also rumoured to be a large hub in heroin transports from Afghanistan? And isn’t Turkey not unimportant for NATO due to ist location?
If this bill would pass, imho we’ll see the start of falling apart of NATO.
Cheers, Rob
The Arab Spring seems to have finally arrived in Lebanon, as mass protests against corrupt politicians and austerity taxes take place – they are blocking the road to the airport so that politicians can’t escape:

When Jews Praised Mussolini and Supported Nazis: Meet Israel’s First Fascists
Some worrying components of Hebrew fascism are still evident in Israel’s right wing, 80 years on

Honorary Jew of Italy – (Excerpts from the article)
By Anna Lesnevskaya —– March 3, 2016
The great conductor Arturo Toscanini was Italian, but fascist propaganda instantly dubbed him an “hon-
orary Jew” for not wanting to collaborate with the Nazi regime. He was struggling with excommunication
from the La Scala opera house in Milan, but the pain for the Jewish people was stronger. And in 1936,
without hesitation, he agreed to the request of the virtuoso violinist Bronislaw Huberman to conduct the
first Jewish orchestra in Palestine. It was thanks to Toscanini and Huberman that the Israeli
Philharmonic Orchestra appeared – one of the most prestigious in the world today.
Slaps of the master
When Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany in January 1933, the 65-year-old Toscanini was at the
height of his fame. In the prestigious New York Philharmonic Orchestra, which the maestro led in 1930,
they literally prayed for him. But there was one theater in the world where the great conductor wanted to
work more than anything, but could not – the Italian La Scala.
Toscanini headed this Milanese “temple of opera music” in 1920, conducted a radical revolution there
and created a powerful orchestra under his leadership. However, in 1929, the maestro had to leave his
beloved brainchild due to the growing conflict with the fascist regime and personally with Benito Musso-
lini. The Italian conductor partially inherited his political views from his father, a tailor from Parma and a
patriot who fought for the liberation of Italy in the camp of Garibaldi, who did not like the church and the monarchy. Despite the short proximity to fascism as the first left-wing movement, born on a patriotic up-
surge, Toscanini almost immediately abruptly broke with the party. For several years, the Nazis tried to
force the maestro to perform his anthem before the performances, and when they realized that the artist
could not be controlled, they literally survived him from the theater.
