It’s been a hectic week in the World.
May I suggest a, *comic relief* :
“ABC releases exclusive video of armed troops crossing the border from Turkey into Syria”

That is a good one.
Hillary Clinton thinks that Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/hillary-clinton-spews-conspiracy-theory-about-tulsi-gabbard-being-groomed-hand-trump-2020
Oh, Hillary. Ohhhhh, Hillary – anyone home? There is an alternative media out there and Russia-is-the-world’s-bogeyman just doesn’t cut it anymore.
Tulsi responds with both barrels, may gain her some visibility against this demented psychopath.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/twitter-war-breaks-out-between-russian-asset-tulsi-gabbard-and-warmongering-queen-hillary
I sent in a donation to Tulsi. I also sent a note. I told her that she has no chance since the media is against her and that Democratic party is against her. I suggested that she align with someone who has high visibility and run on a third party ticket. Maybe she could get Ron Paul to run. Paul isn’t afraid of anyone and a lot of people respect him.
Hillary would loathe Tulsi, as such psychopaths do, for being young and pretty. As for the Putin obsession, no doubt it arises from Vlad the Unmovable’s refusal to kick in for the Clinton Foundation, or follow orders. Dominatrices like Hillary hate knock-backs.
Clinton also called out the ”
despicable” Alex Jones in 2016 and his audience increased 60 % .
If you listen closely to her tirade you will hear sycophantic snickers and gasps from her companion .
These elitists have no idea how they make a bad presentation only
Worse. This only made most people ‘s stomach turn.
The only way she could attack a young war veteran would be to call her a potty mouth and a clueless useful idiot of the Kremlin. Even calling her Putin’s pal does not work because actually most American seem to like Putin although they know better than to say so.
I would like to like Tulsi. Few remember, however, that Obama in ’08 also said all the right things. Now she is a dark horse. If she were republican we could expect her to be a cult-candidate like Ron Paul who fights the good fight. What concerns me is her CFR membership, and the fact that she is a democrat which translates into a “more than cult following.” When the devil demonizes it becomes an endorsement– the question becomes, “Is this calculated?”
So will we have a conciliatory figure like Jimmy Carter–another Rockefeller minion– after the accusations and scorched earth counter accusations of the Trump years? Business finally realizes that we have reached peak neocon. Empire will remain but changes will have to be made. Austerity will come home.
Or is this a vain hope?
Pretty woman, what are you looking at ? your face, your shoulders, your hands are speaking…and you know that…of course, you’re not in a chapel.
Forever Dance
by ioan
I hear the waltz I danced back then with you
I hear that song so beautiful and true,
Arm in arm we swirled the room around
In happiness, forever we were bound !
The loneliness was far away from you
The grass was green and sky was crystal blue,
My heart has met your golden heart again
Let’s sing together now that old refrain :
Whatever may future bring, Whomever may pull the strings,
We’ll stay, we’ll stay together, We’ll love, we’ll love forever !
Whatever the stars shall tell, whomever may ring the bell,
We’ll stay, we’ll stay together, We’ll love and dance forever !
My stupid mind is pushing me on blue
There is no day when I don’t think on you,
My soul is lost in labyrinth of life
Where every day is yet another strife !
The loneliness is near with its clay
The grass is dark and sky is yellow-gray,
I wish my heart shall meet you without pain
And sing again that not so old refrain :
Whatever may future bring, Whomever may pull the strings,
We’ll stay, we’ll stay together, We’ll love, we’ll love forever !
Whatever the stars shall tell, whomever may ring the bell,
We’ll stay, we’ll stay together, We’ll love and dance forever !
We’ll stay, we’ll stay together, We’ll love and dance forever !
Ion, I really enjoyed your poetry. We (KINZAZA) wrote a song (about 20 years ago) called “Dancing”, it is performed in 6/8 (Waltz) and the poetry has some similarity to yours. If you have a moment, please check it out : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTakkQbBLcI
It is a song about illusion of choices, and the puppets who “give” us those illusions.
Thank you guys, I just did that, visited your website also, which I recommend to do for everybody who wants to enjoy good music. I like your style. Thank you again for sharing !

“Dancing” … “i’m a house with no walls…” reminded me of the English folk song, many different variations and recordings :
I will give my love an apple without any core
I will give my love a house without any door
I will give my love a palace wherein he may be
And he may unlock it without any key
My head is the apple without any core
My mind is the house without any door
My heart is the palace wherein he may be
And he may unlock it without any key
I will give my love an apple without any core
I will give my love a house without any door
I will give my love a palace wherein he may be
And he may unlock it without any key

Wow, what a find, this English folk song definitely has a lot of clarity in it. Good call!
Thank you ioan for your kind words. Our YouTube channel got blocked a number of times without any explanations. The subject matter of our songs is not explicitly political, however, the digital “overlords” probably suspect some danger in the sounds we make. We will try to re-upload our videos again and making things available on bitchute. Thanks again!
Okay, now I don’t particularly like Donald Trump or trust him. I certainly don’t trust either the Republicans nor the Democrats – but hear me out. Here are some thoughts that I have been having and please don’t denounce me as a traitor – just consider these propositions.
First, I think Trump entered the campaign attempting to parlay public dissatisfaction into his election. He succeeded.
Second, I really didn’t think he would change much. And nothing much did change. Generally the economy continues to be a rip off of the public, the war machine continues feasting on bloated budget and the empire continues operate throughout the planet.
This is pretty much what I expected.
Third, although he did not change much, he did not follow orders exactly. Had he followed the orders of “Whomever-Actually-Runs-this-Country” (hereinafter “WARC”), he would have stepped up the military offensive against Assad in Syria, invaded Iran, cut Russia off from SWIFT and so on and so on.
Because Trump refused to obey, WARC has come after him guns a’ blazing.
Fourth, Trump must know that if WARC removes him from office, it won’t stop there. He’ll be indicted, convicted and he’ll serve serious time. The charges don’t matter, if WARC wants someone they can get him. And Trump’s conviction will serve as a message from WARC to anyone listening that no “change” or even “attempted change” to the status quo will be allowed. Period. End of story.
Fifth, that being the case it might finally occur to Trump that “you know, this country really is corrupt.”
And, finally, if he survives the coup and gets re-elected, he might turn into a real reformer.
Just a thought, wondering what others might think.
I’ll defer to Bill Hicks:
Removed – please respect other commenters. Mod.
I think there is going to be a day when no matter who is elected (or selected) into their position(s), will find themselves being prosecuted. Their choices are few, take this new path your career demands of you, or refuse and walk off your job. They will refuse to obey, at first refuse to walk, but later come to their senses and simply disagree and walk off their the job simply b/c to stay on the job takes more stomach than they can afford to swallow. I dont see this direction changing until the reforms have begun b/c their is a mechanism (or their are mechanisms) to address all the issues of society’s ill’s.
That is a good point. It is just one more way in which the system is becoming dysfunctional.
I recently retired. In part, it was because – as you say – I just could not stomach it anymore.
Looks like the promotion of the trump prez campaign here through 2020 will be even more psywar elements than it did in 2016.
There is an old saying I’m sure everyone here has heard, but it still bears repeating:
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Promotion of the trump prez campaign???
Don’t worry about it.
It won’t ever happen in the next 12 months………… and it makes no sense for it to happen here, until some among the Lamestream Media are indicted for serious crimes………such as sedition…in the effort to overthrow or impeach/assassinate this president……and the American people overwhelmingly support Donald J Trump meeting with Vladimir Putin for constructive purposes benefitting the entire world…….by leaving this psychotic episode of history behind us.
This might conceivably happen in time for the 2024 election ………….in which Trump will not be able to run….. but if an actual decent and capable human being (not a Soros or Crown-appointed stooge such as a Bush or Obama or Clinton) is able to emerge, gain support, not get “Dallased” that will probably be more owing to Orange Wrecking Ball than to anyone else on the American Political Horizon………….currently visible.
ERGO if I were a foreigner I would focus more on positive attitude preparing for international support for confused Americans getting ready 2024 …rather than complaining about a few tentative voices like Mike’s….asking a few valid and tentative questions….. about a man that has made that opportunity infinitely more possible than anything you or I have even conceived of doing or saying or writing since we discovered this site.
If that offends you….all I can say is: “Get as offended as you like.”
But as you get as offended as you like, ask yourself just ONE simple question: Is the last phrase of my ERGO paragraph…..True?? or NOT True???
Meanwhile, for Mike and Whyatt and others that have more business being concerned about our elections and political campaigns than foreigners do I refer them to my comment earlier this morning in answer to whyatt’s sadness. expressed tersely…on the Conroy Article Comment thread:
/self-justifying-america-is-preparing-for-another-groundhog-day-presidential-election/#comment-710578
I appreciate your being on 24/7 guard dog duty against the Zio-Gay Masters of Discourse………..but simply barking all day and night long at sniffing one particular threatening scent
We also appreciate your being on 24/7/365/, 6 years already, guard dog on duty promoting The Donald and LaRouche….simply barking against anybody trying to oposse your political agenda until you get that commenter banned by continuous provocations/attacks which, astonishingly, never receive any editing or warning….
mod-to: This is the last word on the “detour” of this conversation. It seems to be degrading to a point of personal attacks. The rest along this vein will be trashed.
“ERGO if I were a foreigner I would focus more on positive attitude preparing for international support for confused Americans getting ready 2024 …rather than complaining about a few tentative voices like Mike’s….asking a few valid and tentative questions….. about a man that has made that opportunity infinitely more possible than anything you or I have even conceived of doing or saying or writing since we discovered this site.
If that offends you….all I can say is: “Get as offended as you like.”
No, I am not offended, but I am amused. So ‘the same old’ exceptional – telling ‘foreigners’ how to do it. Mmmm … lol … No. The confused has as many opportunities as I to become non-confused or to stay confused.
Let’s take a look at another ‘Mike’ of the Pompeo kind – you know the one that describes lying and stealing and other things of this nature as making one think of “The Glory of the American Experiment”. “Pompeo Says Israel Has ‘Fundamental Right’ to Bomb Syria.” He is just a filthy war-maker.
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201910191077096678-pompeo-says-israel-has-fundamental-right-to-bomb-syria-vows-to-tackle-iranian-threat–reports/
And this Mike of the Pompeo kind is highly influential and sits on Trump’s right hand or left hand or whatever hand that is close by.
So, I, as a ‘foreigner’ am not doing anything but standing out of the way of this empire and supporting those that are slowly but surely yanking this empire out by the roots in their countries understanding clearly that it is not even agreement-capable. This ‘hanging of hope’ on Trump is just another cop-out for the American people to not stand up and challenge their own very dirty regime and deflect their eyes to anything else, yet, not taking a look at what is happening really. Trump, and for the moment he must stay there, is a carnival barker. If you’ve ever been to carnivals in the US, you will know exactly what I mean.
Here is one view from an interview with Andre Vltchek
http://www.unz.com/avltchek/mostafa-afzalzadeh-interviews-andre-vltchek-for-farhikhtegan/
“Q: Is it the US that has weakened or countries that resist have become stronger?”
A: Both. The U.S. is weak because it is morally defunct. There is nothing optimistic in terrorizing other nations. To run an imperialist empire is deeply nihilistic and gloomy. To live from plunder is depressing. Depression and pessimism, nihilism and constant outbursts of aggressiveness, are weakening the spirit. On the other hand, positive resistance and revolutionary spirit, are strengthening both nations and the individuals. ”
This empire will have to be defeated (I truly hope rather financially or economically and not militarily) for the rest of us to be able to draw a simple breath. Because this empire, under Trump, is not yet reducing their effect on other nations, neither militarily, nor financially. Proof is Pompeo’s statement. Proof is Trump’ incessant sanctions. While most of us and most of the rest of the world want to continue living our lives as best we know how, this empire still offers an existential threat, Trump or no Trump.
So, now that the ‘foreigners’ have been told what to think and what to do, I feel justified in returning the favor.
Under Trump, there is a military build-up in this world of ours, that is literally frightening. This empire and Trump is continuing it, has broken every treaty in the world (there is only one left – START and that is slated for being dismantled) to keep major weapons systems at a reasonable level – the MAD doctrine actually worked and if that needed to be changed, the American regime could not be trusted to work out a new weapons doctrine in our world because they are not agreement-capable. Trump himself (and bear in mind, he should most probably stay right there as bad can become worse) is not agreement capable.
China is arming up to a terrifying degree and Russia agreed to place a defensive ring of missile defense around Beijing. Russia, well we all know what they did terms of defensive weapons, and weapons that can take out the source of anything aimed at them. Many countries in the world want the type of the S-400 and up missile defense systems. European countries have to decide whether, after the breakdown of the INF treaty (under Trump’s watch), they are going to allow missiles previously outlawed, in their countries. The US openly states that they now have a Space force, and will make space a warfighting domain. And I can go on and on with saying that the US holds for itself a so-called privilege of using nuclear weapons first.
I remind you of Putin’s words paraphrased from memory – Russia will not use nuclear weapons first, but retaliation will follow immediately – we (meaning the Russians) will die honorably, but they will die as dogs.
While Trump pretends to fight the ‘deep state’ and the democrats – he has not one moment hesitated to increase offensive weapons, the ability to offensively fight a war instead of defensive posture. You all may think it is cute that Trump is bellowing at everyone else on his twitter and have exposed the common discourse which is at a New York mafia don level and the only discourse that he is capable of, but few are looking into this offensive military build-up background ‘behind the curtain’ that is happening as we speak. Are US troops out of Syria? No way José, they just retreated to other areas.
This is what the US public must be made aware of. Tulsi is doing a good job telling the unvarnished truth, but of course, she is now targeted. Nobody else, like Ron Paul or say Rand Paul even and others were even paid attention to by the US public. At this stage, they should know and to beg that they should be given a ticket out because they are supposedly ‘confused’ is just hiding behind the curtain by the American public. The more bloodthirsty Trump is in his stump speeches, the more this self-same public cheers him on.
Wake me up when Trump tells the unvarnished truth.
Without weapons one cannot make war.
VVP’s S400 / TOS-1A MLRS sale to Saudi makes him a filthy war-maker too.
In a greater scheme of things, may be there is more than just this business of selling weapons to Saudi Arabia… May be SA changes its attitude towards terrorism, may be the arabs start considering Russia and China more seriously, may be… I always think that, in 2016, Brazil, one of the BRICS (at the weak, poor side of it), was lost. But, was it indeed? For how long?
On the privatization of water
https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-new-water-barons-wall-street-mega-banks-are-buying-up-the-worlds-water/5383274
All right, knowledge is power. My guess is this is the issue for the Great Lakes region, Lake Michigan specifically. (And this provides some background for the GM/Detroit/Michigan state economy, Canada/US (Sweden??) battle taking place regionally.) My guess is that the Great Lakes are so important to the Canadian side that they are prepared to use the military (like the army and the navy, not the cyber part) over this (authorized by Her Majesty, and presumably with the help of our military ally, Sweden… who is not stupid and capable of seeing an opportunity when it presents itself.) You occupy it, you own it, right? By that, I mean that those who occupy it will have to invest in the region, if the occupation becomes ongoing. (Something that is likely a bit too much for little Canada to take on by herself.) Would the British monarchy make an offer too? Or due to Sweden’s neutrality are they prepared to cede ground to His Majesty of Sweden? Seems unlike the British Royals to not have some political solution for the people of Michigan to consider. The people of Michigan may have their choice of political options in the near future!
There will be an Anschluss of Canada at some time in the near future, if only for its water.
The Hegemon has all it wants from Canada already, without the responsibility of formally running the state. No need for invasion or anschluss.
Prof. Chossudovsky at Global Research posted today the full text of a war plan from 1935 for invasion and annexation.

It concludes with:
” IV. Conclusions:
___________
a That the critical areas of Canada are:
_
(1) The Halifax-Monkton-St.John Area (The Maritime Provinces).
(2) The St.Lawrence Area (Quebec and Montreal).
(3) The Great Lakes Area.
(4) The Winnipeg Area.
(5) The Vancouver Area (Vancouver and Victoria).
b. That the best routes of approach to these areas are:
_
To (1) By joint operations by sea from Boston.
(2) From Northern New Hampshire-Vermont area.
(3) (a) From Sault St. Marie and the Soo Locks Area.
(b) From Port Huron – Detroit Area.
and (c) From the Buffalo-Niagara Falls Area.
(4) From Grand Forks-Crookston through Emerson.
(5) Along Puget Sound through Everett and Bellingham, supported
by an attack by water in Puget Sound.”
Quite the read.
On a lighter note, about American perspectives on Canada’s elections: Here’s the Washington Post on the day before Canada’s election 47 years ago.

The General Population are Cannon Fodder
The environmental activists are cannon fodder along with the general population. These are not my words but the words of David Land, a banker from Montreal who spoke during the 4th World Wilderness Congress meeting, caught on tape. He attended along with Maurice Strong, Edmund de Rothschild (Pilgrims Society), David Rockefeller (Pilgrims Society), and James A. Baker (Pilgrims Society; Cap & Gown; trustee American Institute for Contemporary German Studies; Atlantic Council of the United States; National Security Planning Group; Bohemian Grove; CFR; Carlyle; advisor George W. Bush in his 2000 election).
The 4th World Wilderness Congress meeting was the foundation of the environmental agenda.
Rothschild formed the environmental movement to create new resources. It’s my opinion the newly created resources funded by the people is a resource grab for the elite. I see on my rates notice an environmental change fee. This will finance new technologies which will be retailed back to me.
George Hunt became aware of the environmental fraud after attending the Wilderness conference in Colorado in 1987. From then until his death Dec 23rd 2013 George dedicated himself to exposing the environmental fraud. This is his story:
George Hunt, UNCED Earth Summit 1992 AGENDA, 720p
https://yadi.sk/i/bdj1gwbCN-gnVg Video
The focus is now on Climate change and, without the public even noticing it, the oiligarchs were able to wrap themselves in this new flag to appear not as the billionaire scions of the oil industry who made their vast fortunes by plundering the earth and monopolizing its wealth, but as crusading environmentalists who are going to save the planet from the “cannon fodder” that “unfortunately populates the earth.”
James Corbett details precisely this in his video.
Why Big Oil Conquered the World – Video
https://yadi.sk/i/R1y2at43Y_mFsg
The environmental agenda was NOT ‘founded’ at any one meeting of oligarchs. It has grown for centuries, thanks to people’s experience of seeing ecological destruction, and opposing it for ethical and self-interested (in human survival) reasons. And the ecological movement is now more powerful than ever thanks to the plain ecological devastation of the planet. To believe that environmentalism is an elite project, is simply elite propaganda, designed to protect their business assets in environmental destruction. And, indeed, the elites have been responsible for decades of environmentalist soft-pedaling the gravity of our situation, as they seek to please their elite financiers. To fall for elite propaganda while, ostensibly, criticising those elites, is a very grave error, with hideous repercussions.
Hi Mulga, I would like to give you the opportunity to back your statements with valid references or it is just meaningless opinion or hear say. I agree that there are some very real environmental issues for example radioactive meltdown of power stations and Oil spills. I disagree with deforestation and the killing of the whales. But that is not what we are talking about here. Please validate your loose comments for constructive analysis.
Mike, anthropogenic climate destabilisation is agreed to, as a standard scientific theory, by ALL the Academies of Science and scientific societies on Earth. It is also agreed with by 99% of actively peer-reviewed and published climate scientists. Nothing ‘vague’ about that.
Then there is the evidence. The last five years have been the five hottest in recorded history. Arctic summer sea ice volume continues to fall, and the ebullitions of methane from frozen east Siberian seas’ clathrates continue to rapidly grow. Moreover fugitive emissions of methane from fracking wells and natural gas extraction also continue to grow. Megafires continue to rage around the world, and fire chiefs from all States in Australia have issued warnings that climate change is making fire conditions impossible to fight. They frankly stated that they were ‘terrified’ about future prospects, even this year, as the east of the country sinks into ever deeper drought. Mass extinctions, marine heatwaves destroying coral reefs and kelp forests, the insect Apocalypse-on and on it goes, none of it in any way ‘vague’. All concrete, undeniable, reality.
Mega fires in Au? Russia reports all major fires out or under control, in Canada major fires down this year by up to 40%, that’s the two largest countries on the planet. It’s burning in Austraila, not so much in other larger parts of the world. Climate, like everything on the planet, and everything in the infinite universe, is cyclical.
Fires must end at some time, or the world will burn completely. The fires in Siberia were unprecedented and have died out in autumn. Do you expect them never to return? Canada is just one year, where the trend is also unambiguous. And there have been massive fires in Chile, Bolivia, Brazil, Indonesia, Angola etc, etc. Here in Austfailia we had megafires in September, an unprecedented event, many of which are still burning and expected to flare up as hot weather returns, as it does as weather troughs cross the country. And what of our fire chiefs? Do you deny there ‘terror’ at future prospects, too? They have stated, among many other dire forecasts, that it will soon be hard for fire-fighters to assist those in other states here, let alone overseas, because fire seasons are lengthening and the conditions are becoming ‘catastrophic’. Do you deny that they said that?
Seasons shift, too and fro, it’s a cycle. Will some cycles be catastropic, yes. And some will be calmer, part of the cycle of life on planet earth.
Now if you are seeing things weather wise as being catastropic, look up man, check out those planes spewing puke in the upper atmosphere then grab some info, all over the web, on weather modification and weather warfare. Don’t fall for the WMDs (Weather of Mass Destruction). It’s being forced, or do you deny that humans can change or modify ‘weather’?
Ecuador & the IMF
I regard most leaders as would be criminals, and Lenin Moreno’s IMF loan of $4.2 billion dollars raises suspicion. It is what the IMF does that concerns me.
“In 1987, Edmund de Rothschild creates the World Conservation Bank which is designed to transfer debts from Third World countries to this bank, and in return, those countries would give land to this bank.
The idea is for the IMF to create more and more SDR’s which are supplementary international reserve assets backed by nothing, in order for struggling nations to borrow them.
“These nations will then gradually come under the control of the IMF as they struggle to pay the interest, and have to borrow more and more. The IMF will then decide which nations can borrow more and which will starve. They can also use this as leverage to take state owned assets like utilities as payment against the debt until they eventually own the nation states.
Long ago George Hunt in his video documents Bank fraud at a high level implicating Third World Countries. They are countries which have emerged since WWII. George stated, Young and easily fooled the world-bank under Robert S McNamara played dirty tricks on them. Diverting billions of loan dollars back to Swiss Bank accounts through fictitious African Addresses. When this video was released they owed 1.5 trillion dollars to the world banking system with nothing to show for it except poverty and cruel loan collections.
This video covers many topics including this one.

@ Mike, reading both of your postings above, I have to conclude that the bigger fish will always eat the small ones. sadly, the human behavior had always been that and it will be so in the future, whatever the optimists are saying. Regarding the future (as being thought by the same people), comes in mind the globalization : what does it mean ? as you may observe, there are two emerging views : 1) the capitalistic and 2) the communist (socialist) one. Is there something in the middle ?
Of course, both (or any other related, in the shape or color) are sharing the same “democratic values” as a standard flag, waving it whenever thy need to do that. Well, the nr.1 and nr:2 are opposed to each other in their perception (Ideology), that’s why the “sharing of common democratic values” looks a little bit fishy. Hey, what is happening here ? are the 1 and 2 agreeing to disagree, or are they playing a dangerous game ? because, you cannot have “democratic values” when there is inequality and you cannot have the same “democratic values” when there is a dictatorship. Ok, but how can you have a future without a globalized, common approach when we are facing so many global challenges, meanwhile having or keeping, the entrenched ideological concepts ? that is a bigger challenge, to decide who will play the cards of the future. All parts have to give up something for something else they agreed upon commonly. They all know that already, the problem they face is how to solve it. Can the humanity of today grow up and let behind the old habits accumulated in thousands of years ? Are the politicians of today in such a state of mind and prepared for such a jump in the unknown ? Keep in mind that these challenges are emerging and they will be emergencies in the near future.The clock is ticking… the big crossroad sign is there for all to see, something needs to be done, otherwise the law of sharks will have its game won.
Thanks for your response ioan.
It is my opinion the same elite who control Russia and the Western World will control the NWO. The different flavours are just an illusion. The western world elite control the lot and want to remain hidden. When criminals continue to rule the world I can expect everyone will be kept in poverty with immense control over everything we own and do. True communism can work but not if it is controlled by the greedy Oligarchs pulling the strings. That is one reason why communist Russia failed. I have included references to the western world Oligarchs who created the Bolsheviks in the following podcast link.

Exactly Mike.
The small number of Trump admirers here are vastly outweighed by the large number who consider VVP a hero.
A very small number (inc Bro) worship both.
The gullibility of, most of, mankind is astonishing – they will still be patiently waiting for something “good” to happen as they take their last breath.
Mike has valid points…..of caution:
No easy, quick, Pollyana solutions.
But thanks, Anonymouse for your most useful comment, ironically useful …for purposes of illustration…….in its utter uselessness!
Because what, pray tell, Mouse Man………… do you offer…..or give offerings….”worship”…..to?
Pessimism!
That’s ALL I see in your bitter, spiritually shrunken comments.
The God of Pessimism!
Which you apparently worship, in your misery!
And seek to convert others to.
Well, “Misery DOES Love Company!” LOL
As a matter of fact, I don’t worship Orangeman nor Vlad nor (pay attention, amarynth….. one thing we can agree on is that this troll is a troll……conscious or unconscious…that’s debatable!) Dr. Craig S Wright.
Remember Mouse Man: Pessimism = Corruption
And that is the key to answering a fundamental question I’d ask Mike, and yourself, and anyone else reading this to reflect on……which is:
WHY?
Why are the elites in “communist” society or “capitalist” society going to end up….almost always…but not quite always………exploiting…rather than loving and uplifting …… the little guys and mice?
Many actually start out more idealistic than that, and are ground down by the obstinate pessimism of those that will not cooperate with their (always imperfect) vision.
And why are the Little People so obstinate? Why don’t they take the imperfect effort that is offered them…..and seek to contribute something to improve it???
Pessimism!
Giving anything, any ideas, any effort of their own into the situation……..That’s just too big a job for little people and rodents cowering in the walls….fearfully…pessimistically….. to take on.
They are too immature. They are not ready for it! They are relatively more infantile.
Plain fact. Cute, perhaps, and briefly loveable even…….but just give them a little time to stink themselves up with their pessimism that comes from diapers loaded up for hours or days…..and then check your “love” of parenting them. LOL
And bigger people, “leaders” with anything at all positive to offer must continually fight fatigue……the fatigue that comes from trying to “raise” the infantile (mostly) masses and lead them to something other than whining for their selfish little needs and desires………as infants do!
And more or less continuously “changing their diapers”…..can get old, mind you.
Raising children, and building a better society…..socialist or non-socialist………is a labor of love….and if you (hypothetically) were in power, Anonymouse how long would YOUR love last??
From what I’ve seen out of you so far, carping about Xi and Putin and Trump…..and every other imperfect “parent” trying something……. at least…(and actually accomplishing some visible results….at least in the first two cases…more notably, thus far……Less than a day!
Probably less than an hour.
So where do you get , with all your miserable complaining and carping about men who have shown an almost infinitely greater capacity to love, to mobilize, to inspire The Little Ones To Grow Up…and Do Something Better……and..at the risk of their lives..to get the Little Ones to Do 1% of What They would Be Capable of………IF they grew up….than you have so far shown….instead merely reinforcing the pessimism of others here….or wherever you go….and for WHAT?????
To join you in your miserable, corrupt, pessimistic Circle Jerk For Infantile Losers???
Pessimism = Corruption
Unless you cleanse yourself of it, I don’t see how you can contribute much constructive to the Greater Building A Multipolar World Task here………other than serving as a most illustrative example……..Of How NOT To Be.
Cheers!
Bro,
My opinion of the Kleptocratic war criminals is not pessimistic, it is realistic.
Mike is also the opposite of optimistic – if you imagine he has “valid points” then you must logically imagine that I do aslo.
Your worship of war criminals is, at best, extreme gullibility and, at worst, pure evil.
Either of these two cases are extremely common amongst the vast majority of humanity with little sign of change.
As such, there is very little to be hopeful about.
Little Englanders all assume the same position, bend the knee and “God Save the Queen”.
Cheers (but only if you are gullible)!!
Anonymouse,
The not ‘gullible’ (as you state) may just be immature, seen only the parts and unable to grab the whole; with maturity, they learn.
if you are good as a child and adult, and accept life somehow, however difficult, and work in whatever small space to elevate some tiny forlorn thing is in front of you, you are happy and optimistic, not always, as life gets one down and is hard, but that is temporary, and a personal matter. If you laugh the world laughs with you, it is happiness.
If you cry you are alone, even with other aloners crying. If you are bad and have been bad and done wrong, pessimism will follow, as it is born of shame. Unless that is, evil gets the upper hand, and you sink irrevocably deeper down into misery and gutless self loathing. It’s all rather simple and elementary, my dear Watson.
Better to be upwardly mobile in some form,preferably not with money demons in sight ! But take your pick however, choose your weapon, the world’s your oyster.
Gelda, awesome adivse for living.
Cheers, M
Gelda,
at the micro level one can be optimistic in the way you describe and I agree that it is far better to be so.
That does not preclude pessimism at the macro level.
Gullibility is only OK when the top brass have your best interest at heart – which they practically never do.
If you were one of the starving Houthi you might find it difficult to be cheerful, even at the micro level.
Living in socialist Canada, I always thought that socialism was the middle ground between capitalism and communism. Alas, regardless of the ism, greed is always the issue.
As a sometimes entrepreneur you should know all about that.
@sean the leprechaun
Yes, optimism is awesome for living, it transcends the momentary, sees beyond, connects to other vital strategies and creates potential even out of nothing ! This has been my experience time and time again, however hard and miserable things might get, optimism has many sides, and invariably links us to others and to solutions.
Pessimism is not sorrow, suffering, or profound grief, but something altogether different !
Nietzsche differentiated between the ‘pessimism of weakness’ and the ‘pessimism of strength’. The first gets you nowhere but drowned in self-pity and impotence in the face of a meaningless universe, whereas the latter sees you at least putting up a fight and retaining your personal authenticity, before you exit this vale of soul-making, or go bonkers, like Nietzsche himself.
Reading your bizarre attempts to link the corruption of the global financial elites to the environmental crisis is truly mind-bending. We are either in a global ecological crisis, or we are not, and the science and the observations from reality say UNAMBIGUOUSLY that we are. To deny every ecological catastrophe simply because the global financial and other parasite elites are attempting to use the crises to profit, and establish political and economic control over countries, is a complete non sequitur. And, as I said above, it actually plays straight into the elites’ hands, because it is they, and no-one else, who profit from the ecological destruction of the planet.
Ludik News Update:
The Florida pedestrian bridge collapse, which rocked the country while simultaneously crushing to death 8 cars and drivers and stirred up endless rumors of the consequences of a female design team has now been officially declared “laid to rest” by the NTSB, the National Trans Safety Board of America. After a year-and-a-half delay In issuing a final findings report that was confused by the issuance of multiple unofficial reports the NTSB has now released the 3000 page document revealing the exact cause of this horrific tragedy. As was first reported that the 37 year-old bridge worker Navarro Brown had single-handedly caused the collapse during a botched post-tensioning procedure which although specified by the contractor was performed incorrectly due to incompetence the latest report does not accuse Brown directly but only alludes to the likely repercussions of his actions. Mr Brown is not available for comment due to the life-ending injuries he sustained in the collapse. Instead the new report has caused quite a stir among the public because of the strangely indecisive conclusion which reached by the investigators which said that although there is conclusive evidence that the bridge did fail it could not be conclusively determined that the bridge ever really collapsed or that the bridge was ever built.
Asked to comment the lead spokesperson of the NTSB, Garvin Melitte, stated that this new finding is strictly in accordance with all facts and that all indications point strongly to this conclusion that the bridge was in fact not in existence at that time or maybe at any time. Asked to comment on allegations that Munilla Brothers Construction was being protected by the committee because of the amazing service they provided the government in building the 12 billion dollar Guantanamo Bay torture chambers Mrs Melitte stated there was no evidence that the Cuban construction outfit was favored at all.
What, for crying out loud, are the ‘…consequences of a female design team’?
I share your disbelief Sourpuss. A 3000 page document which could not conclusively determine that the bridge ever really collapsed or that the bridge was ever built is absolutely incredible.
A 3000 page document is six reams of A4 paper. A ream in Australia is 500 pages. I don’t know who would have the time to read the document plus a hard copy would be cost prohibitive. I feel sorry for the victims who are not easily going to see justice.
https://www.sott.net/article/422231-Poll-US-Jews-immune-to-Trumps-Israel-overtures-42-say-he-favors-Israel-too-much
So we’re talking about 42% of 2.5% (being generous) which gives us 1% of people (Americans) who feel a certain way. Am I missing something? Why is this important?
To a certain extent, those people being the people of course are going to immune to that part of the mythos that under girds the American narod — think the exchange between Shatov and Stavrogin about “The Russian God” (in Demons). Instead of the “Christbearing nation,” we have the Bless-those-who-bless-the-(redefined)-children-of-Abraham nation.

Is there any country left in the world that is not breaking out in violent protests?
Now it is Chile – Santiago in flames: Chile declares state of emergency as violent protests rock capital (PHOTOS)
https://www.rt.com/news/471276-chile-emergency-riots-santiago/
Bonus question : Are we seeing a world in flames because the peasants are all now revolting? everywhere? Against the simmering sheepifying and brutal control of everyone? Is this the trend?
Greedy, corrupt, rich and powerful people who don;t know when to stop have extracted all the wealth of the world and made life very difficult. for the vast majority of the worl’s population.
May be… If so, these struggling peasants may have been brainwashed, that is, they may have been ‘living in a fantasyland’, before… The objective conditions are dislocating their fantasies, putting reality back where it belongs in their minds, now.

The transits on three major players
https://astromundanediary.blogspot.com/2019/10/1092019-transits-on-three-players.html
Sure, sure these types of referendums are OK for Hong Kong or parts of Canada, but “keep you hands off Alaska, Russia!!” This is very naughty behaviour by these pranksters. But entertaining.
https://www.rt.com/news/471337-alaska-governor-russia-prank/
The Spanish Policia Nacional are using extreme violence against civilian in Catalunia:

A little food – I’m a hummus freak and can make it in my sleep and very fast. It is high up on my list of foods because it is really tasty and also very economical (although good olive oil is expensive these days). My ordinary hummus does not pretend to be super smooth as I’ve not always taken all the husks off all the chickpeas to keep it somewhat ethnic as if it was done in a real mortar and pestle and not quick in a food processor. Also, hummus is fine without tahini if you’re sensitive to the overall cost – it is better with, but quite fine without. In the video, they use oodles of olive oil – I use less, to be somewhat economical.
But this guy on this video absolutely made me UP hummus to a very different level and I’ll do it his way for special occasions. It is really good.
This guy puts some baking soda in the chickpeas when you cook them up and this loosens up the husks. Soak those chickpeas overnight and cook them instead of using a can of chickpeas. Then, there is a whole new level of complexity with lemon juice, garlic, tahini and cumin which is absolutely worth while to do (if you’re making hummus for guests). I usually just process the garlic and lemon juice and cumin together first, then the rest of the ingredients in the same processor with the tahini. So, doing it the way of the video, processing the 4 ingredients separately like he shows truly improves the taste and smooth texture. Yet, for speed and to use only one processor, I’ll still process the garlic, lemon juice and cumin together first, and use that same processor to add the chickpeas, olive oil, a little black pepper, extra salt if you did not salt the chickpeas sufficiently if needed, perhaps a little cooking water from the chickpeas also known as garbanzo beans, and the tahini.
Hummus is one of those things where one has to adjust your liquids according to the chickpeas, otherwise one can have it just too wet and runny or too dry. So, if you try it, be aware of that and dribble in the olive oil or a bit of extra cooking water if you’re not using tahini if the chickpeas are too dry in the food processor. If your food processor starts laboring, then your mix is too dry. I also use less olive oil in the hummus by using a bit of the cooking water, depending on how much olive oil is in the house as I am an olive oil snob :-)
And do remember to let it stand for a little bit – at least for an hour, to get those flavors to fully make friends and meld together.
Of course pita bread is traditional, but nothing is wrong to eat your hummus with some crackers, or any other flatbread or a dark bread or something like that. Hummus is versatile and lends itself to most anything – but be aware of flavors and don’t overburden the hummus.
A 10 minute video containing a beautifully complex tasty and smooth hummus, plus the pita bread and the mostly fresh condiments.

Adding water to hummus is what will make it soft and creamy.
amarynth,
Be careful with the husks as they contain lectins, a natural substance that is supposed to protect the plants from predators – not humans, of course. Lectins bind to minerals in your body and eliminate them – too much lectins may be very bad, indeed…
Also, bread made with wheat may be very bad for at least two reasons:
1) gluten (one of its components, gliadin, is adictive – this may explain why the obese adore pasta, biscuits…), and
2) glyphosate (= dilluted Agent Orange; if the seeds of the wheat were GM to tolerate glyphosate (RoundUp), they certainly are poisonous) – get organic flour.
I also love hummus. Thanks for the hints.
Hi MC, you’re touching on things that I just love .. so, sorry for the length. About the lectin story that Dr Steven Gundry in his The Plant Paradox made quite popular I have a number of reservations. Ok, clear to me: Let Food be your Medicine and Medicine be your Food (Hippocrates) is a truism in my kitchen and food education, and sure, do an elimination diet to see if any of the foods containing lectin (and there are many) have a result of any condition that someone is trying to solve. So, to me food is medicine and can be used as a health ‘protocol’, if you like.
I don’t buy the full Steven Gundry story because there are aspects that he either is not aware of, or did not mention. The style and content of the book looks to me like it was made into a book ‘recipe’ to write a bestseller and highly promoted. Have you read it?
The other aspects about food that is just left out of our modern food education is proper growing (i.e., non GMO, organically grown with the provenance and the farmer or provider known). Very few of us know the methods of even the philosophy of proper earth preparation through to harvest and to post harvest processing, example, fruit that is picked when it reaches the right size, but before it ripens, to extend shelf life – and then put in a type of gas chamber only to change color. That fruit and some vegetables does clearly not develop its fructose and with that, its taste. Best here is to stay local with fruit and vegetable purchases or some of us may be lucky and have farmer’s markets or during summer season, can dry fruits and vegetables or put up, or can or bottle some or make simple ferments. Sandor Katz, Wild Fermentation is the go to book for me. I learned canning or bottling at mother’s knee – old methods and have gathered and saved real original food preparation methods from grannies from many areas in the world – the stuff that you learn only by watching and doing, like fermenting the corn mix that is used for things like tortillas for example.
The second issue that is not talked about these days, is proper food preparation – methods, and why those methods. So, any beans and dry pulses must be soaked with soaking water regularly changed and cooked – old style and old fashioned methods of food preparation and not put into say a pressure cooker without the necessary soaking. Some foods need soaking specifically to dissolve those lectins, and they do dissolve – with beans for example, 12 hour soak and change the soaking water 5 times. The best example here is Quinoa – which is actually bitter with lectins if not very well washed. But again, these are foods that have been used and eaten for as long as what we can cast back into history, so, there is a good case to be made that our preparation is at fault and our food knowledge base is shrunken to a great degree. Here is a little piece from Charles Hugh Smith on that specific loss of knowledge base: https://washingtonsblog.com/
So, what is at fault here with the myriad of food allergies and sheer misery causing food illnesses that people have?. Take an apple, any apple bought from a supermarket, take a sharp paring knife, and scrape firmly over the skin of the apple a few times. You will be amazed (well, I was horrified) to see the amount of wax coming off that apple. Of course, one cannot clean this up and get the wax off. Again, this is for longer shelf life and to make it nice and shiny on the supermarket shelves. We now have to look out not only for non-gmo’s, proper organic growing and not just ‘green washed pretend’ organics, but also for waxed vegetables and fruit. Better to get unwaxed from a farmer’s market.
Wheat of course is not wheat any longer – the short stemmed wheat that was developed for modern agricultural machinery is almost just a bunch of empty carbohydrates. Original wheat was a tall grass, and a grass seed with deep deep roots bringing minerals up into the wheat berries during its growing season. Again here, we have methods that help like fermentation or say sourdough that lends that specific food a deeper level of probiotic nourishment. Here one just has to very carefully select whatever brand is the most pure – and this is difficult. I have only one brand that I use, Bob’s Redmill, but it is not always available everywhere. We have someone with severe gluten intolerance in our house and with years or cleansing processes and routines he is at a stage where he can tolerate a piece of decently prepared bread without literally falling asleep. This means that the bread dough is properly taken through a fermentation process as this is the way one should deal with wheat. But it has been years of work on only this one thing. So we usually do a paleo type bread for him but these ones are also stuffed with fats to an unhealthy degree (and I’m one of those that consider good fats very very good but too much of a good thing can also be just too much).
We need to be very careful nowadays in buying any meat, because the excesses there are not pretty to view. Meat glue, frankenfish, lab gown meat and this stuck together from vegetable slurry ‘Beyond Meat’ type stuff that is now in supermarkets in lieu of food.
Good food takes time and our food processes (and us) are assaulted every damn day of our lives. Best to stick with foods with a long history, know your provider, stay clear of gmo’s and any processed foods, buy organic if it is real organic and follow traditional, artisanal and historical processes of preparation. It takes time and most of us are too busy these days.
amarynth,
Thanks for your reply to my comment. I have read many books in the last 8 years, since I was diagnosed with pancreatitis in 2011. My pancreas is damaged, it doesn’t produce fundamental enzymes, and as a consequence I have serious problems of malnutrition. Cause? Western diet, obviously, flavoured with glyphosate (diluted Agent Orange weed killer, used in GM crops).
I have not read Gundry’s book; but, I visited his website and others on lectins – a natural defence mechanism of the plants. Lectins are known for a very long time, as you know, although not by this name. I am writing from Hangzhou, China. Another day, I counted about 20 different types of vegetables in our table in a restaurant. All of them have some kind of lectins. In China, some vegetables that contain lectins in high quantity are called ‘nightshades’ (tomatoes, bell peppers, chili peppers, white potatoes, eggplants, okra…). Nightshades are not recommended as staple foods; thus, just a small amount should be eaten. I eat some of them, sparingly, because it seems that they also contain ingredients that I badly need, such as certain enzymes that are not found in supplements…
In my present diet, I peel fruits and roots (this eliminates most lectins, as well as some of the insecticides/weed killers); I soak in salty water (ferment) beans for 24 hours before pressure-cooking them; and I ferment cabbage (sauerkraut), carrots, some spices, and cucumbers for 5-7 days. Fermentation is an excellent process to neutralize lectins, as well as to cultivate a healthy microbiome, which I need badly.
The Chinese also eat reasonable amounts of chicken, pork and fish – all Chinese produce! Yes, this is amazing – although there are over one billion people in China, they seem to eat very well, indeed! And I think we can trust that there is no glyphosate, here. The Chinese also make dumplings with wheat, which I believe is imported from Russia, so it is organic (I do not eat them, though…). My Chinese students seem to love them! But, unfortunately, sugar has been added in large amounts to their diet: I see children eaten those cotton candies everywhere…
I heard that the Chinese government allows the use of other poisons than glyphosate…
They also import soy beans and corn from the US and Brazil, which are grown from GM seeds and receive large amounts of glyphosate weed killer during growth for a profitable harvest… CAFOs (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations) are also used in the US, Brazil and Argentina, where cattle are fed with GM soy and receive other poisons, such as vaccines, hormones, antibiotics… So, I avoid beef everywhere I go.
Everything we eat is seasoned with soy sauce, here in China, which is unlikely from fermented soybeans. I hope that, one day, the Chinese make soy sauce like their ancestors did – fermenting for about 40 days…
The Russia-China cooperation in agriculture is promising: ‘Russia is planning to increase the supply of milk, poultry meat, soybeans and soy products to China, as well as to begin the export of beef’! (Xinhua, 5 Sep 2019) Besides, according to the Chinese Academy of Science, China has developed a high-yield soybean variety, which has good adaptability, using ‘molecular design breeding technology, hybridization, as well as radiation breeding methods’. (Xinhua, 02 Oct 2019) No glyphosate!!! I have thought that I should move to Russia or China…
Yes, survival is becoming a difficult thing for some of us…
You are right about Lectins MC. The effect I proved was weight gain. Lectins cause weight gain. It was not until I decided to remove some Lectins from my diet that I was able to lose weight. Lectins seem to make me hungrier as well. High on my ban list was bread, then corn, peas, tomatoes, eggplant and most vegetables with seeds including nuts. I was able to lose 1.5Kg per month with a total loss of 22Kg. Removing Lectins from my diet allowed me to eat more, with less hunger and still lose weight. Weight loss is about hunger management. I am now eating these foods I love again and gaining weight fast. These foods are my enemy.
Mike, I never heard of people losing weight because they stopped eating lectins… Lectins are inflammatory – you should check if you have a problem of GI inflammation….
There are many online references.

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin sat down with three Arab-language media, including RT Arabic, to dis-
cuss Russia’s policies and ties in the Middle East and beyond, as well as a looming arms race with the
US and NATO’s expansion.

Moving right along, on the Fall Cleaning List of Household Chores.
It looks like Other Commitments will prevent me from completing my self-assigned Crypto-Task of doling out the ebook A Short History of Bitcoin Myths a chapter or a half chapter at a time.
There wasn’t much of any discussion generated by it in any case, even from Nice English Crypto-Lady.
Only a scattering of indirect things from her, never addressing specific points raised in the first three chapters…..the last being something about “a money has to be useable (Anonymous-Anony-mouse??? Now That IS a big issue and bone of crypto-contention!) to purchase anything and everything….(illegal) drugs, included….”.
Ah! …Those “free-trading Brits”….and Scots (I saw the Movie …Shogun??? Scottsman with young Chinese lovelies fawning all over him…..Sick Empire Cinema Shite….) that set up Hong Kong……..as an offshore area from which to poison and loot China……..safe from the Yellow Mass Land Army……..LOL…
But listen up, Anonymouse…I’m about to give you some love…and if you pay attention….turn you into a ……A Communist Millionaire!!!
But: This is not investment advice, never risk more than you could afford to lose, do your own research…yadayadayada.
So, just in case anyone was halfway interested, I’ll finish that task and just dump the link to the entire 8 Chapters ( a quick read….I breezed through it waiting for a delayed flight) right here:
https://resources.bitstocks.com/hubfs/2019%20eBooks/A%20Short%20History%20of%20Bitcoin%20Myths%20-%20Bitstocks%20eBook.pdf?utm_campaign=Bitcoin%20Evolution&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz–B53Swf7XleivrTdJVIkE78zdRaA–xfyZkpWd4pCesDp7pTuKaKD1iEjeFpKCeoCt_bEddVZYlHikitDlDyc5wmKv4Q&_hsmi=76934246&utm_content=76934246&utm_source=hs_email&hsCtaTracking=f0779ab9-4d9d-4963-a74c-a890ce0fe9eb%7C82135526-21db-467e-97c4-162e7d7adf69
Besides lack of time for any further spoon-feeding, I cut short the endeavor (additionally) for reason of the following sober assessments:
1) While I believe the issue of Fragmented BITCOIN….and which is the REAL Bitcoin….and What About All the Rest of the Crypto-Mess???.. is a far, far more important issue, politically and economically than all but a tiny handful of readers around these parts are yet willing to consider…..I doubt any mass awareness of that coming importance…that imminent relevance….. is at all likely to dawn on more politically significant masses of people in 2019 ………………….or probably even 2020.
2) To me that’s a great opportunity and motivation to Puzzle Solve. But I understand that to most “normies” it’s not! It’s just another headache! So many puzzles, so little time, so little Aspirin!
3) Now I still have dependents…and I’m a hunter. I’m expected to regularly bring edible game to the dinner table….without fail……so when there is scent of “off the charts” favorable risk/reward ratio “in the air” …..I perk up and take notice. Just as I do with Danger……of Bubbles Bursting……….and landing myself and my 3 dependents under a freeway underpass somewhere……in dirty old sleeping bags.
4) I make no bones about it……….I made mistakes tracking the Crypto-Game….and I manage risk…so don’t worry about me..ioan (I do appreciate your concern, don’t get me wrong, my friend!) but to the best of my tracking ability I do have to conclude that Dr Craig S Wright (CSW) is indeed Satoshi Nakamoto…the author of the 2009 Bitcoin White Paper…..and is correct on almost all of what he says technically and philosophically on the subject (as well as deeper issues related to it) all the while being an easy target for the Crypto-Partygoers and Revelers to despise and ignore…….for what he says…and may very well DO….quite soon…in under 12 months…..can….and probably will rudely crash their party and impoverish a great many of them that operate by POSM (Proof Of Social Media……ie gossip….emotion)….
5) So, when that sank in several months ago……….I realized I had a sizable portfolio …….full of “Shit-Coins”.
And those no longer smelled like Potentially Edible Game…..to me. LOL.
6) However, a good hunter never panics. I quickly calculated that if CSW is correct, technically but is still an obnoxious, pedantic academic that talks down to people, making him an absolutely abysmal marketing man and I can operate on the basis of reality in this new, puzzling terrain……thank you very much, Craig Mason, and Ryan X Charles, and a few others..including Bad Aussie Man himself……for the Theoretical Overview of This Puzzling Crypto-Terrain…..I was previously lacking.
7) Hmmm. With prudent risk management….all I could manage was a handful (low single digits) of what I had thought was “Bitcoin”….BTC….as well as a diversified portfolio of other shitcoins (a few gainers X 10 that began to stink….mostly losers….by half (ETH) or more like 90% ) that I admit I kind of enjoyed playing with!
8) However, If Bitcoin Satoshi Vision is “The Real Deal” (months ago I had to conclude it IS!!) at $70 something per BSV…………..OH MY GOSH…..Still adhering to prudent risk management …..I could “get down” much deeper into realm of the Inner Elites of Cryptodom, have minimally several dozens of the Real Deal……and THEN…..The Best Outcome (for my hungry dependents mind you: My 6′ 2″ senior in High School comes home, typical day….looks to see what’s come out of the oven, what’s in the refrigerator…any grocery bags not yet unloaded..??….and announces: “I’m eating EVERYTHING.”……………..would be that my BTC and other Shitcoins went to ZERO and The Real Deal almost infinitely made up for that Crypto Learning Experience. And I mean by many, many orders of magnitude better than my previous goals. In some years of mass adoption, of course. This is NOT investment advice….Do your own research, yadayadayada. AND Patience! An impatient hunter is a lousy starving one…………
9) Anyway part of the hunting process is spending a lot of time improving tracking capacities and that’s just one out of several more time commitments (like rereading Paul’s book Raising Stone …and writing my review…after Fall Cleaning….I’m hoping I’ll find it! LOL) .) why I can’t read every comment or even every article in the Vineyard….and NO Anonymouse, even though I love rodent hunting….I simply cannot devote “24/7” to interacting with you! However, what I have been able to determine (with no help at all from y’all socialists and cryptophobes, mind you…) after several months have gone by and hundreds of hours of tracking and following the scent (it does fit into the Strategic Picture I’ve concluded…..exactly how I am not sure….but it is a very, very intriguing question) have been devoted to getting this right…. and finding only emotional (not proof by construction) objections…which will never throw me off a scent this strong….I continue to follow it…..and thank God….don’t have to endure CSW railing at Tone Vays, mispronouncing “Patents” …he calls them “Paytents”……”I have hundreds of Paytents…..I Don’t CARE what you think!”, says the Marketing Genius..to Tone-Deaf Vays……….LOL…the scent is only stronger, only fresher.
10) And the nice thing is that there are many, many far more pleasant people than CSW, like Chief N-Chain Scientist Steve Shadders…..another Aussie…and many more to learn from. Since 10 is the number of Perfection and Completion I will wrap this comment up now……more on the Personal Finance Realm than the Strategic Overview Realm with a recent video by River (another Aussie that has a business with Craig Wright’s sister, Susan, evidently….and is a much more attractive Real Bitcoin proponent than CSW will ever be, as recently interviewed by Me Cockney Mate Shem Booth, alias “Captin Bitcoin”:
BitcoinSV is the most undervalued asset EVER!! – River
I don’t know River’s last name. She is related to Craig..(Niece…???) but by blood…or marriage?
In any case she is a LOT easier on the eyes than Craig…..or Shem, this Glowing River.

I was unable to even give one away…to Our Most Prolific Poet. So why be nervous that a bunch of lemmings will plunge over the cliff???
Yet,,,,I will repeat: This IS Not Investment Advice…Do Your Own Research…Yadayadayada.
And I add some Hunter’s Advice: If you want to go hunting…..ditch your diaper…stop crying….and Put On Your Big Boy (or Big Girl) Pants.
Bro, if you decide to align with a community that states clearly that they patent in order to become rentiers, and in this way strengthen the current financial system that is not good for ordinary people, you may do so of course.
If you decide to invest in a community that is clearly heading towards big banks, big conglomerates and big finance and big Law with being friends with Microsoft types etc., of course that is your free right.
If you decide to align with a group that says they are going to chase the terrorists with their crypto, you are free to do that alignment – I would just ask who decides who the terrorist is? Don’t bother to answer, it is a rhetorical question.
You are free to do those things and there is nothing for me to say or to criticize in those decisions. If you investigate something and decide that it is a good investment for you, then of course it is your free right.
But to pretend that there are morals and ethics in today’s system, or the one of nChain, is of course deluding yourself. Do it, but don’t give us a pretense on the ethical and moral side. That part is bs and building a ‘better BTC’ and becoming more integrated in extending today’s system, is of course joining the current elite.
I will stick to working at changing the monetary system for the whole world and making money accessible to even the goat herder on top of a mountain in Afghanistan so that he with his cheap cell phone can sell his goats and buy another goat daddy as he wishes and without being called a terrorist in his way of taking home a meal for his family. A rentier system though with its cost will seriously impact this goat herder and hey presto, you have prototyped the elite’s new financial system for them, just like BTC did.
That is basically the difference and it is one of being human, or being livestock. I thought in the big picture that is what we are fighting, becoming livestock more than what we already are.
This short novel by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, which I read many years ago, I really liked.

Local media in Kiev is reporting that Poroshenko is preparing to flee the country. One of his close aides has been arrested on corruption charges and another has fled. His palace is being emptied. You might be interested in the following link:

Off to Israel, one assumes.
Venezuela and her mighty Orinoco River, which is the third greatest river in the world in terms of annual discharge, is linked by a canal to the Amazon, called the Casaquiare bifurcation, or Casaquiare canal. Although not easily navigable during the dry season due to sandbanks and ponding of the upper reaches, the canal is readily accessible to communication by canoe by means of numerous small portages over the obstructing banks. Spanning a distance of some 100’s of kilometers, before joining the Rio Negro, which is a mighty Amazon tributary and great river in its own right, the Canal is a potentially dangerous watercourse during the wet seasons due to the large outflows and steep gradients, yet the two rivers, the Orinoco and the Negro, remain inter-navigable due to a second channel to the West, forming only in the wet-season, which allows for a continued safe passage by means of a slight detour.
The question of its origins are mysterious since the Casaquiare is a watershed of the Negro, and not the Orinoco, and the two are separate systems divided by the Guyana shield, it is an anomaly by any standard of traditional measurement when considering the vastness of the hydraulic flows encountered—in terms of absolute capacities there is no other similar canal on Earth that is not artificially formed—because of its uniqueness and impressive facility in intercontinental communication, linking by river travel seven South American nations, the Casaquiare canal remains a case of underreported and poorly understood geology fully deserving of serious inquiry. That the starting assumption of all present inquiry begins with the colonial-minded premise that the Amazonia is a land of savages, incapable at any previous time of accomplishing works of civilization due to their undeveloped state, can only result in the single conclusion that the Casaquiare canal is a natural wonder, despite plain evidence of being an artifact and man-made wonder. Because all geologic evidence of human design is inconceivable to the Western colonialists, and is dismissed away as unthinkable, there remains little to no investigation of a balanced nature.

Two links, the first an account of canal building in ancient China, the second, a link to the Old World tradition of Qanats, aka, canals. Interestingly, some of the more ingenious and technically advanced Qanats are found in Chile and Peru, but as there are many tens-of-thousands of such canals worldwide, and very few are recorded or studied, there is not a clear understanding of the technological development.
Canals and waterworks are a sign of human civilization, and that just such civilizing projects span the globe, and are not easily dated, is all the more reason to give consideration to the possibility of the Casaquiare Canal as a man-made waterway, and not to childishly dismiss any idea we don’t understand, despite the evidence.
Wow, what an announcement:
Merkel Admits German Multiculturalism Has “Utterly Failed”
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/merkel-admits-german-multiculturalism-has-utterly-failed
There is something strange here – besides admitting that she was dead wrong all the time.
Check the date of the original article: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-germany-merkel-immigration/merkel-says-german-multiculturalism-has-failed-idUSTRE69F1K320101016
That’s nine years ago. It could be a typo, but I assume that date and time are generated automatically… But nine years ago she wouldn’t have said that.
Any ideas on this?
Cheers, Rob
You’re right. I think the zerohedge rat bit me. Now remember, never ever take anything from Zerohedge seriously :-)
Oops, Pocahontas is threatening Israel: https://freebeacon.com/politics/warren-threatens-israel-everything-table/
“It is the official policy of the United States of America to support a two-state solution, and if Israel is moving in the opposite direction, then everything is on the table,” Warren said during a press availability with reporters Saturday.
Ok, exit Warren, then Hillary can come to the rescue, she’s already warming up ;-)
Cheers, Rob
Is there a line in Vegas where one can place odds and bet about the return of hillary? If not, she can not be taken seriously, it would be the end of the democratic party if she was a two time loser.
Good article on the Overton Window: check the schematic.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/prying-open-overton-window
From the article:
The Overton Window describes the spectrum of concepts, policies and approaches that can be publicly discussed without being ridiculed or marginalized as “too radical,” “unworkable,” “crazy,” etc. The narrower the Overton Window, the greater the impoverishment of public dialog and the fewer the solutions available.
Those holding power in a socio-economic-political system that’s unraveling devote their remaining energy to closing the Overton Window so that only “approved” narratives and policies that support the status quo are “allowed” into the public sphere.
Capitalism rapidly turns fascistic and totalitarian when its dominance is threatened.
A great article by ‘tell it like it is’ Caitlin Johnstone:
““It’s important to point out here that a Russian ‘asset’ is not the same thing as a Russian ‘agent’,” tweeted virulent establishment narrative manager Caroline Orr. “An asset can be witting or unwitting; it’s any person or org who can be used to advance Russia’s interests. It’s pretty clear that Tulsi satisfies that criteria.””
“Isn’t it interesting how that works? Establishment loyalists get a damaging and incendiary tag that they can pin on anyone who disagrees with them, with the sole evidentiary requirement being that disagreement itself.
Author and antiwar activist David Swanson noticed this bizarre intellectual contortion as well, tweeting, “Notice that they carefully define ‘Russian asset’ to mean not necessarily an asset and not necessarily with any connection to Russia.””

I like the term “Virulent Establishment Narrative Manager”. It’s phonetically close to ‘venom’ -and highly appropriate.
Scratch any Clintonite, Blairite, ‘Rightwing’ Labour, ‘Free Market Fundamentalist’, ‘moderate’, ‘centrist’ etc, and you’ll find a fascist.
