I remember seeing this coup plot in Washington against a President before.Just not like today, in real life. But instead ,at the movies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOd5lGVXOZw. If they remake this they’ll have to change the plotters from the military,to the deep state instead.But otherwise,its pretty much here.
Original trailer : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWL06waOAGw
Curious, that they could say in the trailer “people say it couldn’t happen here” when General Smedley Butler had testified decades before that it had: he had been offered, asked, to head a coup d’etat and had refused and named the plotters.
A few decades later, Jack Ruby, the killer of Lee Harvey Oswald said “things are never going to be same anymore. There has been a change, a take over. I wont live to see it – but you will. The government has been taken over”. That there has been some sort of coup d’etat in America has been on the cards for along long time.
But I never saw this movie, so thank you Uncle Bob. I think I’ll enjoy watching it tonight.
Seven Days in May is a beauty. What a cast, what a script. They don’t make films like that anymore.
Mexico Grants Bolivia’s Evo Morales Political Asylum
(but what about safe passage for him)
https://sputniknews.com/latam/201911121077283294-mexico-grants-evo-morales-political-asylum—foreign-minister/
This looks worse by the minute. Mexico sent a plane for Evo Morales, but it has just been forced to land in Paraguy as “traffic controllers in Peru, Chile and Brazil banned the aircraft from passing over their airspace.”

Humankind is evidently getting more cruel as these days unfold.
He should have asked for Russian escort.
The US is determined to brand him historically as a bad man. The vassal governments obey the Hegemon, so they deny him free passage.
Putin is in Latin America in the next few days for BRICS. Morales needs to act now. Russian special services assets are in Venezuela. A unit could go secure his safety.
Bolivia, where Che was sold out for ’30 pieces of silver’.
Morales made it safely to Mexico, flying on the Mexican military jet.

It’s the meaning of the word apocalypse, uncovering. But the demon
is fighting with God. Time for heroes of reason and empathy.
What the monsters are capable for shouldn’t we children of the 20th
century know good enough.
Only doing the meaningful thing, each at his/her place plants germs
of new = old meaning
Love and Duty
When love takes duty as its bride,
Beauty’s wings are opened wide.
The blight of doubt has duly fled
And lovers make their unruly bed.
When love and duty are divorced,
It’s then that beauty’s hand is forced.
The seed of doubt takes root with haste,
And all good plans are laid to waste.
Way of peace…
Arms of Love
Legs of duty
Hands of beauty
Feet of unity
Path of war…
‘Arms’ of love
Legs of beauty
Hands of duty
Feast of enmity
Very good!
It’s been all hands on deck at the caff poetry bar, no shirking, where’s yours been ? an’ no fan clubs allowed btw, we’;re all pro’s ya know, can’t ya tell ? man, the style, the pure style…
Thank you, Lasttruebeliever + Anon, Had the kids at home yesterday due to fires raging out of control in Oz, and kpax’s reappearance along with ioan’s work, set off a ‘train of thought’, so to speak. Coffee wasn’t even spiked, lol.
Haha…
Landed last Sat in Perth 38°C… direct from London 3°C, no layover… after intense month away.
‘Screenshoted’ all poetry work in the meantime, not yet into it.
Felt the train and strain… back in the Oz brain… but locked on the ‘home’ feeling… instead. So peaceful in that space.
Yeap… Fires raging over East, smoke billowing, sun eclipsed through dark smog… very eery… yes… People, families, friends… their homes, their lives.
No fix in coffee… never, not even sweetened.
No fix in yr coffee? You’re doing very well, friend. I “spike” mine with sugar, no side effects yet. Lovely to hear from you, and wonderful to have you back @ the Cafe. As you can see, it’s ‘business as usual’. Waiter, make mine rakija, and a strong black for our friend, kpax!!
The poets fix:
Sunrise
Sundown
Night stars
Day stars
Love
You (plural)
Ducks
That’s enough fix’s to be getting on with
Up all night,
doing the work
that never ends.
You leave me no choice;
you’re always on the move.
I used to try and
imagine what love was.
Burning up inside…
every thought of you,
fanning those flames!
Home
Home… I have never left
Like a well… to its depth
Mirrors gulped in reverie
Faces drawn by memory
Home is neither a palace
Nor just some empty place
Never won by wish alone
By ‘Thy Will’… only to atone
Home… if you’re willing too
Blessings when required to
Always free if you know how
Only to reap… what you sow
Home… of all my torments
In reply to more… torrents
Time of a lost moment near
A vague echo or… souvenir
Home… to stay out of jail
In full trust without… fail
On a path to lead the blind
Never again to look behind
Home where the One living
Never been the one acting
Again will you remain still
If meant to know ‘Thy Will’
The King For Who I Am
Trying to remember,
Wanting to forget;
That King for who I am,
Has filled me with regret.
Playing with my heart,
A game I cannot win;
His glance it lit a fire –
Now it burns within!
‘Twas a day like any other,
Chasing down some prey;
My horse at once it threw me –
Out cold for some three days.
I woke in His pavillion,
That King that knew my soul;
A land the colour of sunset,
His eyes as dark as coal!
He read from the Book of the Heart,
Till I could no longer resist.
He taught the word of love;
He named the sky I miss…
When I came to at last,
Back in my age-old haunt –
The word had spread, I’d died;
So pale, wan and gaunt.
I heard the earth calling me back,
My loved ones’ ardent pleas.
But I know the time will come,
To return to that land of ease.
Now I’m trying to remember,
I’m wanting to forget;
That King for who I am,
That fate would have I met.
Playing with my heart,
A game I cannot win;
His glance it lit a fire,
Consuming all within!
Breaking: Syrian military intercepts several enemy missiles over strategic airbase in Damascus
https://mobile.almasdarnews.com/article/breaking-syrian-military-intercepts-several-enemy-missiles-over-strategic-airbase-in-damascus/
“Minutes ago, the Syrian military activated their air defenses after several enemy projectiles began targeting a number of sites around western Damascus.
According to a military source in Damascus, several enemy missiles, suspected to be Israeli, were fired at the surroundings of the Mezzeh Airbase, causing a number of explosions in the western part of the capital.
The Syrian military says they were able to shoot down several of the enemy missiles, but some managed to hit their intended targets.
If this is in fact an Israeli attack, this will mark the first time since late August that they have targeted Damascus and its surroundings.
Previously, it was reported that the Russian military was responsible for the absence of Israeli aircraft in western Syria; however, this was never confirmed by either Israel or Russia.”
Sounds like jewnazia has regrouped and is back at staging provocations. Really looking forward to the upcoming bug hunt.
2 martyred, 10 injured in hostile missile attack on residential building in Damascus
https://sana.sy/en/?p=178096
“Two civilians were martyred and ten others were injured on Tuesday due to hostile missile attack on residential building in Mezza area in Damascus.
A military source said that at 04:14 of Tuesday dawn, November 12, 2019, Israeli warplanes flying over the occupied Galilee fired three missiles towards Damascus city .
The Syrian air defense systems, according to the source, immediately dealt with the attack and destroyed one of the hostile missiles before reaching its target.
The source added that the other two missiles hit the house of the Palestinian Jihad Leader Akram al-Ajouri in the western Mezza neighborhood, claiming the life of his son Moaz. Al-Ajouri’s daughter Batoul was also injured.
Civilian Abdullah Yousef Hassan was martyred in the attack and 9 others were injured also, the source said.”
Russian submarine was spotted inside Israel’s territorial waters
https://mobile.almasdarnews.com/article/russian-submarine-was-spotted-inside-israels-territorial-waters/
“A Russian military submarine was spotted inside Israel’s territorial waters approximately three months ago, the Ynet news site reported on Monday.
“The submarine was located by the IDF naval forces some eight nautical miles (15 kilometers), while Israeli territorial waters stretch to 12 nautical miles (22 kilometers) off the shore,” the publication reported.”
Given the unreliable source, it’s likely just anti-Russia propaganda, but if true, the only reason the israelis detected the sub was because the Russians wanted them to see it.
VT,
Alerting folks to almasdarnews. com as unreliable is good work. Of late, they are putting out a lot of crap that misleads. May be taking payments from Israelis.
L445
The unreliable source I was referring to was ynet, the source in the above posted article by Almasdar News, not AN themselves. Regarding AN, they are hit and miss, depending on the source they using or duplicating in their material. They are much like ich (another very much hit and miss depending on who they duplicate) in that respect.
It’s Cold out There
by ioan
It’s cold out there
It’s cooling down inside,
the shadows, growing everywhere
around the yellow candle’s light
The winter slowly comes
like serpent in my inner room
I’m learning lessons all the way
barking to changing moon
It’s cold out there
I feel it in my heart,
Perceive it with my mind
then put aside the art
It’s time to sleep and rest
to dream about a place,
To follow on my way
between the east and west.
Autumn fades
as winter nears,
Darkness falls,
light disappears.
Trails of rime
on window sills,
Clouded breath;
evening chills.
Flickering candles;
shadows tall,
Serpents slithering
across the walls.
Moon begins
its supernal climb,
The voices of night
fall into time.
Heart and mind
against the cold,
Waging battle
since days of old.
Artists with hands
both sure and light,
Depict the hunt;
the thrill of the fight.
Time it comes
to rest the head,
Weary limbs
and stomachs fed.
Mind released,
from endless toil,
The soul flies free
of its mortal coil.
Dharma and Karma
soul returns to serve
to what it deserves
but never helpless
in service selfless
Love your poems. all of them..from everyone!!
“…but never helpless”; brilliant!
Dimitar,
Have you published any books of poetry? If not, I hope that you do in the future.
Thanks to ioan, whose imagery I borrowed, and fleshed out, and also Tera + Andrea.
Am preparing one atm, Andrea, combining poetry and art, will be self-published but fine art quality, hopefully ready next year. A kind of ‘Songs of Innocence + Experience’. My friend/editor also suggested smaller scale e-books etc. Some of the imagery can be seen here; http://www.valenis.net Galleries 1,4,5. Best, D.
Israel has threatenned to bomb Yemen reported by Mintpressnews.com today for the same excuse that it always uses, Iranians, although the Iranians are not involved in Yemen, why let tge facts get in the way. Iran has had a brutal history of aggression towards Israel, like the time that they freed the Israrlites from slavery and had a secular society that welcomed them into Iran where they freely practiced their religion, and still do to this day.
I guess that there may have been Iranians in the World Trade towers on 9/11 which would explain the dancing Israelis when they blew up from a missile with a holographic image over it that looked like a plane, but wasn’t confirmed by CIA expert pilot because aside from the physics being impossible, the holes were too small.
Of course Iranians worked in the WTC, they live in many pkaces in America. It looks like the United States must be next on the Israeli hit list for Iranians, or just another stick-up like 9/11 to distract the country from the fact that the entire stock market is complete fraud, especially since all this happened shortly after the dotcom bust. “Steal from the needy and give to the greedy.” – Ronald Reagan 1964 A Time For Choosing – I choose Iran as an ally over Israel every day of the year!
Here is the report by CIA pilot, John Lear:
https://newspunch.com/cia-pilot-presents-evidence-that-no-planes-hit-towers-on-911/
Who is investigating Larry Silverstein and the FBI, the government, and the suspicious firms that extremely and suspiciously low fatalities for these diabolical acts of treason?! Many firms reported 1 fatality, and many in double digits. Are we to believe that those at the top floor escaped before everyone else?!
“when they blew up from a missile with a holographic image over it that looked like a plane, but wasn’t confirmed by CIA expert pilot because aside from the physics being impossible, the holes were too small.”
I keep hearing this, every now and again. It puzzles me. Can you explain exactly how this would have been done,?
You see, I saw that plane hit the second tower, in real time. I was watching the TV interviewer, talking about the first tower crash with the remaining tower in the background. I saw the plane circle and approach it. I thought “that’s strange, it’s clearly not military. What on earth is a plane doing in that airspace at a time like this?”. Then I saw it get closer, and thought “What the blazes is going on here? This can’t be some sort of reconnaissance. They’d’ use military, or helicopters”. And then I saw it just plough into the tower, the reporter hearing something, turning, screaming. I was catapulted out of my chair. I’ve never forgotten a second.
So, if it was just a “holographic image” — what, exactly, did I see??
Nick Kollestrom’s Who Did 9/11? a view from across the pond may be of some help.
If we are wondering why no credible wreckage of planes was found at any of the four sites, then one answer to that would be, that whoever organized the Greatest Conjuring Trick of All Time could manipulate the military and top level civilian authorities, but there would be a whole lot of medium and low-level civilians who would not be so easily corrupted. If you ask, “Why would they not have just flown two passenger planes into the Towers?”, then one answer is, there would have been a whole lot of bureaucratic complications resulting, that the military intel — Israeli and US– would not have wanted to deal with (p. 141).
…Let us be crystal-clear, that two American Airline planes which allegedly flew into the Pentagon and WTC-1, did not do so because they did not fly that morning; while the two United Airline planes,one which allegedly flew into WTC-2 and the other crashed in Pennsylvania, did not do so because they were both registered as still airworthy after the event (p. 143)
I have decided to refer to war, including the attacks on me with DEWs as what it really is, Revenge Of The Retards!
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread,
Sowing seeds of hate, leaving trails of dread.
Destruction in their wake, pretending that they care,
Bowing to their “God”, sending out their “prayer”.
When dead men talk, it’s with a crooked tongue.
When dead men walk, you know the deal is done.
“Come walk a crooked mile, in my shining shoes,
No way you’ll take a hit, no way you’ll pay your dues.”
Wow! Mastering of different styles and different voices, you are. Dimitar. De meter.(to alter the pace of time and space) De mentir ( to deconstruct the lie)
Just playfully riffing on your name and no disrespect intended.
Not for a second did I ever take it that way.
“Mastering of different styles and voices…” I wish I could agree with you, Tera.
Honestly, the more I do this work, the less I feel I know. Writing poetry always begins with a feeling of complete inadequacy. Now heres the rub; there’s something inside that compells me to pursue even the faintest whiff of an idea… one sniffs around like some hound looking for a trail until something lights up. It will either light up or it won’t. As we know, a single spark is capable of setting off enormous fires. Where experience does come in is in the significance of an idea. Coming at it from many angles, before it finally falls into some kind of rhythm. There’s a sense that the inner self is calling out, trying to make connection with the outer. When and if lightning finally strikes, the actual writing of a poem can be very swift. However, the writing of reams of material, as I do, is a kind of ’tilling of the earth’. One cannot be too idle, the interest must always be maintained. And once you’re in the flow, you can’t sit back and say, wow, I’ve just created my masterpiece, think I’ll relax, now. You may find next time you’re “ready to work”, there’s nothing there, lol!
What’s in a name. I found this in a search of the meaning of names that always interests me :
The name Dimitar is a boy’s name of Bulgarian origin.
Dimitar is the Bulgarian (and Macedonian) version of Dmitri, which is itself a variation of the name of the Greek goddess Demeter, whose name means earth mother.
Ras
Origin of words/names from Western sources that don’t recognise Macedonia as Macedonian, is always tendentious. “Bulgarian” is a general term for a people that does not come out of the territory they today occupy.
Bulgarians themselves put their origins as non-Balkan, and their forefathers as Turko-Mongolic; Huns such as Asparah, 2nd half of 7th Century, is a ‘forefather’ of Bulgaria, for example. Today, they claim the medieval Macedonian heritage as “Bulgarian”, in a few short centuries they went from Turkmen, to Macedonic ( Slavic ) people.
As for “Greek”, the West created modern Greece, and assigned Aegean Macedonia to that country after it was annexed in 1912/13. There are countless songs in Macedonia about the dismemberment of Macedonia, about Filip and Aleksandar Makedonski, ( aka Alexander the Great ) whom is today considered bona-fide “Greek” whereas, the ancient Macedonians’ native language is in fact, Macedonian ( proto-Slavic ) not “Greek”. Hi-jacking the Macedonian heritage was a nice little sleight of hand by the West. You’ll find no songs about Aleksandar or Macedonia in Greece, as only yesterday, Macedonia was one of the most hated names in that country. In ’88/90, a secret campaign on the eve of Macedonian independence from YU was carried out to re-educate Greeks, where the erstwhile hated name, overnight became “Greek”. Voila! The Greek claim to the name Macedonia, was born. Annexed Aegean Macedonia was first named “New Territories”, then “Northen Greece”, finally “West Makedonia, Central Makedonia/Thrace, + East Makedonia” were born.
In 2017, President Putin thanked then Macedonian President Ivanov for “giving Russia their alphabet”. He didnt say Bulgaria, he didnt say Greece. I also believe that the ancient Greeks were non indiginous, ( their location points to this ). I have posted before the common roots between Macedonian and Sanskrit languages. This is far earlier than so-called ancient Greece etc. Over the last few centuries, Macedonian people have been slowly absorbed into Greek, Bulgarian, Serbian, Albanian identities due to expansion of these countries, and today, Macedonia is about to disappear due to continuation of Western policy of genocide and mis-representation of it’s origin/history/identity. It’s a tragedy that Macedonians have endured silently, the world has over-looked the enormous contribution of Macedonia to world culture and history.
I have learned much from your posts on the history of Macedonia, thank you, and it would have been better to have considered this more fully before the comment I made. Sometimes though, the general direction and drift of facts on here takes time to be fully absorbed ; so much to learn ! Thank you for your reply.
As far as I can ascertain however, Dmitri, Demetrius, Dimitar have arisen from Demeter, meaning love or devotion to the earth as mother. So, a beautiful name in whatever form, and that was naturally my point.
Ras
No offence taken, Ras. Balkanites are forever arguing such irrelevant matters. After being on the defensive for so long, I made my own research and found that my hunch is indeed true, ie; that Macedonia does indeed have ancient roots and the document I mentioned proves it, ( the one w. the Glossary comparing the Sanskrit and Macedonian languages ). Now, if it ended there, I’d be happy, ie; everyone has their viewpoints, evidence, conclusions etc. and I/we have ours. But, although the surrounding countries countries have their own squabbles, as far as Macedonia goes, they’re united, ie; they’re all against Macedonia, and forceably trying to claim our history, denying us at every single step of the way. It’s positively primitive. I know I’m like a broken record, but the truth as I see it, is all I have. It’s also something so beautiful, and perfect. I do appreciate your comment, and your well-wishes. It’s so refreshing to be civil.
Why yes, of course. The truth of what you hold is indeed beautiful, and valuable to share. I lived for many years in Australia, and returning to Europe traveled through many, many countries towards eastern Europe, but not as far as Russia ! I reveled in the differences of the countries, their atmosphere’s and peoples of 25 years ago. It was a fabulous experience after the ‘outback’ …
Even before that journey though, I sensed much of what you have shared here over time.
I’m sure others on here have benefited likewise.
So, you are not a broken record ; how many millions of people who have died for a just cause, how many people even now who are aware on some level of your history, have to overcome the tragedy and the broken heart.
We are here to help each other in that respect, hopefully, but it is not easy at all. Some do not appear to be interested. That is difficult and makes life a challenge, there are already so many, we are over loaded. Misunderstandings occur, even the poets are not immune..
Poetry strives to be a medium whose purpose goes beyond words used more conventionally.
I would be interested to read your thoughts on the name Demeter, that has an archetypal meaning that may bridge or leap languages, i.e. exist as a purely historical reality in time.
Ras
There could be People who are Wondering if the recent Coup in Bolivia, was one organized by the Legitimate, yet Rogue Regime of President Donald Trump, and this is because America is a Rogue Country, and Only has Rogue Regimes.
There could be some People who Think that it may have been Organized and Funded by Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation, Possibly, with the Assistance from the Lolita Express’ Evil mission a while ago to Bolivia, in order to make Secret Films on Influential Opposition Bolivians, who Orchestrated this Coup, in order to Blackmail them to conduct this Coup.
The False parallel narrative is that Evo Morales Allegedly rigged the Election result, even as Donald Trump Allegedly rigged the American Election, with the Alleged help of Russia.
Perhaps it will be Slandered that Russia helped Evo Morales in the Bolivian Election, and we Know that things America says, is later Proven to be Lies.
It looks like the temporary President of Bolivia will be a woman, and Hillary Clinton is a woman who Wants to be President of America at https://en.mercopress.com/data/cache/noticias/73193/0x0/file-20191111001547.jpg , and there are People who think that she looks like Hillary Clinton.
There could be some People who Think that this is a coincidence, while others may think that this would help Hillary Clinton at the Election.
It could be that there might be 2 women running for President in Bolivia, and that would mean that a woman would become President of Bolivia, and Hillary Clinton would like a woman to become President of America, by saying if Bolivia cab do it, then American can Also, yet Bolivia has become a Military Dictatorship because of that Coup.
It could that there will be 2 male Candidates for the Fresh Bolivian Election, but if a woman that is of the Opposition becomes President of Bolivia, then that could help Hillary Clinton in the 2020 Election.
Hillary Clinton Wants to put Donald Trump in Prison if he does Not will the 2020 Election, and if Trump is Responsible for this Coup, and for which he Could get the Blame for that, either rightly or wrongly, just before the 2020 Election, then he has Only himself to Blame for that, because Perhaps President Donald Trump organized this Coup in Bolivia, in order to make Hillary Clinton the Pied Piper Candidate for the Democrats, because it worked for him in the 2016 Election, and delayed a Dictatorship in America.
Hillary Clinton will Not admit to having anything to do with that Coup, or that Clinton Foundation Money had anything to do with that Coup in Bolivia, or that the Lolita Express Assisted with that Coup, and possibly suggest that Jeffrey Epstein it is the Reason for Bolivians and Americans to have a Female President, and if Jeffrey Epstein had underage boys working for him, then he Would have used them to Secretly Film Influential Americans in Acts of Paedophilia in order to Blackmail them o be Puppets of America’s Shadow Regime, such as Dennis Hastert, the former Speaker of the American House of Representatives, and the Judge referred to Hastert as a “serial child molester”, and imposed a sentence of 15 months in prison, and Perhaps Jeffrey Epstein Secretly Filmed some Influential Bolivian women, even as he Secretly Filmed Many Influential men.
President Donald Trump is on Record as trying to Commit Coups and Regime changes, and Syria and Venezuela and Nicaragua, are Examples of these at https://www.globalresearch.ca/bolivia-audios-linking-civic-ex-military-us-coup-plans/5694142 .
We saw what Happened with the False Charges against the Blameless and Innocent Julian Assange, and the Subsequent Mistreatment of Julian Assange and it was Only because Nazi Anglo America Knows that Julian Assange is against Illegal and Immoral Middle Eastern Wars, and there are Europeans who Think that Britain Should Fully Remain in the European Union, because it is Not decent enough to be an Independent Country, that can Think for itself, because of its Centuries long History of being the Evil English Empire.
We have seen the recent English Nazism and Injustice against Julian Assange, and so there are Many British People who Think that Britain Needs Tutelage and Supervision from the European Union, and there Could be British Voters who Will Write FJA or Free Julian Assange, along with No Extradition to America on their Election Ballots, so that England can at least have a fig leaf of the Rule of Law.
There are Many British People who think that there is a necessity to implement Brexit, and that the New Brexit Deal, is a fig leaf for England’s Constitutional Democracy, that Should be implemented before Britain can vote to rejoin the European Union, because there is No Constitutional Democracy for Britain, unless Brexit means at the Very least, a fig leaf Brexit.
There are Europeans who Think that Britain Should have been given a No deal Brexit all along, and 2 years after activating Article 50, and there are Europeans who Want one or more European Union Countries to Veto, anything that is Not a No deal Brexit Regardless of What Germany thinks.
If some Country, possibly, Japan Persuades Cyprus to do that, because Japan Wants a Free Trade Deal with the United Kingdom, then Cyprus could sell their Veto regarding Brexit to Best Bidder, including Germany, but Only After the Payment is Firstly in the Bank, because Cyprus and Greece were Unjustly and Callously dealt with by Germany, during the Eurozone Crisis.
The British Voters would Know and Consider that they Should at the minimum Vote for what the Brexit Party could describe as Johnson’s fig leaf Brexit, because Germany and Much of the European Union Needs to Restructure, and Germany and some other Countries Probably should Never have been allowed to join the European Union, or to use the Euro Common Currency, and if the European Union Depends upon British Contributions, then Continental Europe is better off being Independent Countries.
A Real Brexit would mean paying No fees to the European Union, and it is Not a Real Brexit, if Britain keeps paying Regular Membership Fees to the European Union, and Germany Encouraged the Nazis of Ukraine to work against their own Interests, and to Wrongly blame others for their Predicament, because Ukraine Should have said that they do Not Want to be part of the European Union, if it means that they have to be Nazis, and that Ukrainians want to be Decent and Hard Working, and that they Would have Prosperity and No Corruption if they did that.
Today, however, there is Widespread Corruption in Ukraine, and Ukraine is an Impoverished and Indebted Country, because Germany Misled and Exploited them, even as they Misled and Exploited Greece and Cyprus, as what happened under the Nazi Third Reich, and Germany Only Misuses the European Union for its Own Selfish Pursuits, and does Not treat it as a Union of European Countries, and Germany Callously Wants the Nazi Third Reich under the cover of Committing Nazism as a Puppet of the Nazi Anglo American Fourth Reich, and Germany is the Non English England, that works to Deceive Countries for the Anglo American Fourth Reich, so that it has Anglo America’s Approval for a Nazi Third Reich on Continental Europe.
Spain and other European Union Countries did Not like Germany recognizing Serbia’s Province of Kosovo as an independent country, and they may be in favour of a WTO Brexit.
The People of Britain Want to be Independent of the European Union, and Europeans Want a New Chancellor for Germany, because they are Not mislead, because someone is a woman, and they want a Male Chancellor for a while, because Europeans are Not Deceived by a Female German Fuhrer, or even a Male German Fuhrer, and they do Not want Germany to Discriminate against Men.
Perhaps South America needs a Free Trade Zone like the European Union Could have been, if they were Not the Puppets of Nazi America, and they Could ask the Brexit Party for some suggestions on how to Structure some aspects of a Latin American Free Trade Union, in the Context of Catering to Socialist and other Types of Economies, for those Latin American Countries that Want their Own Type of Economies in a Latin American Free Trade Union.
One thing everyone should understand about the US constitution is that the socalled Bill of Rights is not the bill of rights that is a misrepresentation used for desinformation purposes, but the very constitution itself. Amendments mean in general english repairments and that was actually what the several states that did not support the constitution came up with. It was the ten amendments. It was thus the corrected constitution.
Another thing everyone should understand is that Article 10 Amendments concerned the further making of amendments and its ratification. ( The several states may call for constitutional amendments or the United States congress may propose amendments ). These are all proposals. The president of the United States may not change the constitution. (So when a presidential candidate, like they to right now, call for confiscation of guns, limitation of free speech or the regulation thereof, they are violating the US constitution, and should be arrested for doing so by federal agents. The national guard of a state may also be called into action for violation of the constitution. (Actually this has happened in the past for equal rights issues at a university). It should be used against universites opposing free speach. FBI should arrest anyone opposing peaceful assembly or freedom of speach. Gun ownership and carrying is likewise guaranteed not to be limited. A president has no saying in these issues.
The amendment that changed the constitution on ratification of amendments was very clear( #10 ). It had previously been the state, it was amended to say “or the people”. Meaning the people must be consulted, and that means a referendum must be held. So nobody but the people can change the constitution. A state cannot change constitutional issues, it is done by the US congress, after reaching the determined number of states that ratified it (after a referendum in every state is held so people are consulted). The US congress mean the actual congress and the actual state administration , so a limited window of time is available for the propose. So when California has changed constitutional issues, when Virginia do so in matter of gun control, these are all serious constitutional violations. So the state of the US constitution is in shambles , and simply out of control. There is now also a corporate fascism on top of the government. Fascism do not go well with democracy, so democracy has evaporated. In some evil mind, establish a corporation and the US constitution do not apply. Facebook do now sensor speech, and it has become a cover by US congress hearings. Everything is being turned upside down, and all to develop a fascist dictatorship.
The ten amendments are the US constitution and violating it is a federal crime. Later amendments have never been subject to people’s approval they are simply administratory or mostly summary executions for political purposes .
There are no provisions for political parties in the US constitution, accordingly they are a violation of the US constitution.
There were very clear instruction for the construction of the United States and the several states government, its election and its branches, so any change (cration of political parties) is a violation of the US constitution.
There are by now tons of US code that now violates the US constitution as a result of unlawful changes but also new codes that do not comply with any constitutional basis.
The amendment states that in order to prevent misconstruction of government and abuse of power, The rights of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed upon. A clear example. US code now states that anyone that challenges the government shall be arrested. Just one example.
I challenge the gvt all the time, they leave me alone b/c I have an iron clad case against them that could be brought to and demand attention should they elect to confront me in such a manner as arrest. (everything I say can and will be used against you in a court of law).
As for political party’s, they were spawned from movements created by the people, the same people that you say can change the constitution, so, I dont see the problem here.
to challenge the government in the term of the constitution means to employ its text in order to challenge the constitution meaning that misconstruction or abuse of power has occur related to the constitution itself,
so that the people utilise the amended constitution :
AMENDMENT I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
I can easily see misconstruction or abuse of pwoer here, the abrdiging of freedom of speech giving away this amendment to corporations of the deep state, google/yahoo, Facebook,Twitter and others being given cover by the US congress to continue their practices of censorship.
The peoples right to peaceful assembly is also violated without federal law enforcement which is abuse of power. The petition of government for (these) grievances are also not happening whatever you may say that challenges the government which absolutely nobody takes notice of, this is not how it works any more. THey continue on and on and on like any opposition never exists, so that is a violation of the constitution as well.
As they are taking away and change the rights to bear arms for a purpose of strength, this was clearly opposed by US code that forbid any such challenges to the government not necessarily using weapons but show the power of the people that shall not be infringed upon while addressing grievances of power and opposing abuse or misconstructure of power. So actually infringing on all these amendments are a gross violation of the US constitution. And no state can enforce any changes to the constitution a practice thereof is a gross violation of the United States constitution.
You dont want me to get into constitutional law, I might find some mistakes there. I operate under the laws of nature first, and then human laws second, or as is said in the business, don’t put the cart before the horse.

A no-nonsense analysis of the situation imho.
But how did we get there? A genealogy of morals approach leads here: http://criticallegalthinking.com/2018/02/21/giorgio-agamben-oath/ So is the Constitution a testament to the belief in power of language?
The constitution established the United States, subsequently claiming the constitution do not apply mean that the argument establish that the United States do not exist, which is false.
As to language, the change of language has a purpose its is signifying or making identification of a totalitarian state at work as the language and use thereof are taking place as a result of policy on that matter. The nazi state of Germany changed the language (ref Victor Klempeler who survived the victimisation of jews) to establish the third reich famous for hatred of jews and subsequent concentration camp imprisonment for deportation to Palestine (the early policy) which ended in hard labour and death camps especially after such policies were decided following the Wannzee conference where the final solution of the nazis were established (formal or informal laws approved by Hitler)(Hitler ordered all documents to be destroyed since 1943 so only the witness report remain of the text and the necessity for Hitler to approve it) that accomodated the final solution of killing jews in the concentration camps (in Poland). This was all supported by language of the third reich. Today we see it again , the political correct language and actions. The victimization may be and is different , the policies of nazism has changed, but it is all the same again.
<a href="https://www.theholocaustexplained.org/the-final-solution/the-wannsee-conference/"<Wannzee conference
Victor Klemperer
It is very important to not let the governments change the language and political correct terms. This is thus the era of nazism and fascism over agian, since this has happened, never mind the policies of political correctness and behaviour has changed. It is the embodyment of nazism and fascism and the opposites of democracy.
Hannah Arendt who also experienced the german nazi state wrote an excellent book on “the Origins of totalitarianism” Hannah Arendt’s chilling analysis of the conditions that led to the Nazi and Soviet totalitarian regimes is a warning from history about the fragility of freedom, exploring how propaganda, scapegoats, terror and political isolation
Note. theDemocrat party are changing into modern national socialism (nazism) which they call democratic socialism from the nordic social democracy (also nazism). It has nothing to do with democracy since they change the norm of language and behaviou namely they decide.

Really good, yes.
A comment:
The creation of political parties which I have characterised, and I think rightly so, as unconstitutional, has as a result turned the Supreme Court into political appointees. Subsequently the Supreme Court has become political puppet masters for the corrupt party establishment, and in turn for corporations financing them and the polices they decides, as well as a larger deep state, not for the people as impartial . (That is why there cannot be political parties, and the reason why political parties are non-existent in the United States Constitution in the first place, the reason why the political system was established therein in detail).
The party’s might (well they did) have evolved and there was nothing in the constitution to prevent them.
Alabama:
“The party’s might (well they did) have evolved and there was nothing in the constitution to prevent them.”
I am afraid I don’t understand the argumentation, so I did not respond the first time.
There was indeed, the constituton has laid out in detail the form of government !
That means it is the legal requirement of the government to have exactly that foundation and formation.
For example in general :
If a law states something and has the legal basis for it, it must obviously be used as the exact norm.
If part of the society change the norm and start to practice it, they are not immune to the law itself.
Conclusion: The practice cannot change the law and is punishable by the law.
Well I guess you can always figure that if 50% or greater of the population do not follow said law, then that the people have decided that it should not be a law, and therefore not enforced, or as you say, not punishable by the law.
We have an old saying around here that says, if a law must be changed and you can not change it, you must break it. It apply’s to many circumstances too.
No, I said punishable by the law.
I think it is pretty clear though. You don’t really think that oracles should be consulted, not statistics, not poles, not discussion boards, not forums, nor any other entity. Only one source can be consulted, it is the law itself.
Exactly John4Truth! Congress has not been signing bills into law, they and the presidents through executive orders have been passing acts of treason, agsinst tge sovereign, we the people.
It is just too impossible to try to get inside the mindset of legislators and the presidents, not to mention the jucicial branch, that have all been bought with fiat currency primarily by Wall Street. I honestly cannot even begin to comprehend the sheer stupidity of these bufoons. They are the hovernment ( decided to leave typo since it is more accurate) and they can tell Wall Street, hey chump, take a hike on the highway to hell. We will print our own currency.
Congress of baboons, jackass brigade!
Now, now…please don’t be offensive to baboons, wonderful creatures. A ‘congress of baboons’ ( sure there’s a poem in there ) would be far more effective, than a congress of buffoons.
True Dimitar. The referrence is because of Planet of the Apes, which I believe describes what is taking place in Ameruca right now. My guess is that you are aware that a congress of baboons is actually the large plural for it. Pigs have many, but I decided to use one that I have not heard for pigs, which would be a pride of pigs, because I also find that fitting.
Here… we are going somewhere… to a very specialized location : James Lipton and his ‘Exaltation of Larks’ (revisited for the occasion).
JL didn’t venture so much into piggeries (thanks to his wide scope of understanding in groups and clubs…), boars and the porcine kind tend to be on the solitary… so the conundrum is in:
… a singular of boars, a drift of hogs, a sounder of swine…
If so-called proud pigs could fly, swim or vote… there would be an infinity of adequate terminologies applicable.
As to our referred baboons here above, according to JL…, ‘a rumpus of baboons’ is very sound or further into it… ‘a machination, wilderness or barrel of monkeys’, ‘a buffoonery of orangutans’… followed by ‘a shrewdness of apes’ (you know… the depraved and wicked kinds).
Let’s abandon these poor primates for a while… for there is enough to contemplate among many congressional gentrification types to choose from human varieties, instruments and their pets. Here we go:
A parliament of owls
A phalanx of flashers
A nullity of nihilists
A frenzy of cheerleaders
A concatenation of orgiasts
A lubricity of nymphomaniacs
A myopa of umpires
A troth of barons
A peal of bells
An embarrassment of beepers
A stain of neckties
A rhumba of rattlesnakes
A mask of raccoons
A ‘merde’ of caniches
A conflagration of fireflies
A totter of giraffes
A labyrinth of moles
A flock of lice
A bellow of drill sergeants
A bale of bondsmen
A magnum of hitmen
A perk of white collar crooks
A kilo of pushers
A demolition of dopers
An evasion of scofflaws
A Ho ! Ho! of loopholes
A push of peddlers
A seizure of corporate raiders
A twaddle of public speakers
A ‘branle’ of diplomats (Court dance… derived from ‘brawl’… or ‘a wank’ in French slang)
An odium of politicians
An inflation of democrats
A deficit of republicans
A fidget of altarboys
A loll of life models
A doldrum of reruns
A done deal of agents (see Dimitar’s… today post)
A gripe of grips
A grope of groupies
A flush of honeywagons
A cattlecall of extras
A black hole of fading stars
A dumbshow of mummers
A flatulence of bassoonists
A ‘oui-oui’ of pissoirs
… Just to cite a few… Lol…
To end this loop ‘hole’… coming back to the main meat of our topic, our very last:
‘A pigout of savings’
Ever thankful… to James Lipton’s great work.
What a brilliant example of an exceptional wit in ‘high-flying’ mode!
Continuing the theme ‘…the planets not going where you’re going.’
“I have seen tempests, when the scolding winds
Have rived the knotty oaks, and I have seen
The ambitious ocean swell and rage and foam,
To be exalted with the threatening clouds:
But never till to-night, never till now,
Did I go through a tempest dropping fire.
Either there is a civil strife in heaven,
Or else the world, too saucy with the gods,
Incenses them to send destruction.” (Julius Caesar)
“Though you untie the winds and let them fight
Against the churches; though the yesty waves
Confound and swallow navigation up;
Though bladed corn be lodged and trees blown down;
Though castles topple on their warders’ heads;
Though palaces and pyramids do slope
Their heads to their foundations; though the treasure
Of nature’s germens tumble all together,
Even till destruction sicken; answer me
To what I ask you.” (Macbeth)
“Blow, blow thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man’s ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen
Although thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
Chorus:
Heigh ho! sing heigh ho!
Unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning,
Most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh ho! the holly!
This life is most jolly.
Freeze, freeze thou bitter sky,
Thou dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remember’d not”

Lavrov: Washington continues support to al-Nusra terrorist organization in Syria
https://sana.sy/en/?p=178210
“Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov affirmed that the US attempt to control oilfields in Syria threatens the country’s territorial integrity.
In a speech during a forum in Paris on Tuesday, Lavrov said that Washington continues to support Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist organization in Syria and to hinder the reconstruction in the country with the aim of prolonging the crisis in it.
Lavrov called upon the international community to facilitate the return of the displaced Syrians to their country after the Syrian Government had provided the suitable conditions for their return.
Washington is trying to complete its colonial role in Syria and the region whether on the military or political levels through its forces which are stealing the Syrian oil and this is what has been confirmed by the Russian Defense Ministry lately as it published photos showing oil tanks while they have been smuggling oil outside Syria under the guard of U.S. military.”
US Wants to Create Illegal Quasi-State in Eastern Syria – Lavrov
https://sputniknews.com/world/201911121077287751-us-wants-to-create-illegal-quasi-state-in-eastern-syria-lavrov/
“On the eastern bank of the Euphrates River, they are doing everything possible to create the structure for a quasi-state, and are asking the Gulf States for major investments in order to create a local administration on the basis of the Syrian Democratic Forces, the Kurds – the YPG People’s Protection Units and others, with the clear intention of breaking this piece of territory off from Syria, and controlling the oil fields located there,” Lavrov said.
“When it comes to Syria’s reconstruction, we, together with the Syrian government, support inviting everyone [to participate], in creating conditions for the modernisation of infrastructure and the return of refugees, so that the country can return to a normal life. The United States categorically denies the need for this, and prohibit its allies – NATO, the European Union, countries of the region, from investing in any projects in the territories controlled by the Syrian government,” the foreign minister said.
“If from the start of the conflict, they decided that they can act with US support, when they announced the creation of the Rojava Federation, and that the US would provide them with support in a movement toward separatism, this was their decision,” the diplomat said. “We attempted to explain to them, and the Syrian government, that it is important to begin a dialogue between Damascus and the Kurds. The Kurds did not show interest in this. They were convinced that the United States would always support them,” he added.
Lavrov lamented that although Kurdish authorities did ask Moscow for assistance in starting a dialogue with the Syrian government, as the US announced its partial withdrawal from eastern Syria in October, they appeared to lose interest in such dialogue once the US said that they would return to the war-torn country to control its oil fields.”
Well….I really wonder ehat the options are now if there are any apart from Idlib finished as soon as possible and everyone absolutely evetyone heading for a grand ol ding dong in the north east… get it over and done with to.prevent further occupations.
Can someone enlighten me…Russia bombs etc Idlib terrorists supporting SAA there….but does not actively participate against Turkish backed militants to protect SAA outside that region…..just has some patrols in a limited area???????
The real mettle of the Western fakestream presstitutes is the way in which they ignore forty years of hard evidence of US, Pakistani, UK, Saudi, Israeli and other work to create jihadist terror, from the ‘Moral Equivalent of Our Founding Fathers’ as Reagan described the mujahideen in Afghanistan, through to the Colour Revolution in Lebanon, using secular as well as Wahhabist terrorists to attack Hezbollah, and decry every truth-teller as a ‘conspiracy theorist’. Today you can see a master-class in this lying perfidy, with the MOSSAD asset, Martin Chulov, singing the praises of the jihadist organiser, Le Mesurier, as a ‘humanitarian’ hero. And Heydrich was worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize, and I’m not joking.
Ah, the first dust starts to settle over events in Bolivia, of which the German MSM had the courage to call it a ‘Putsch’.
An interesting item could be immense reserves of lithium, of which Morales demanded to have it prefabricated in Bolivia in stead of just mining it, after protests from residents of the Potosí area. The region has 50% to 70% of the world’s lithium reserves in the Salar de Uyuni salt flats. : https://www.globalresearch.ca/bolivian-coup-comes-less-than-week-after-morales-stopped-multinational-firms-lithium-deal/5694772
“Bolivian Coup Comes Less than a Week After Morales Stopped Multinational Firm’s Lithium Deal”
“Bolivia’s lithium belongs to the Bolivian people. Not to multinational corporate cabals.”
Pure coincidence, of course. The bringing of ‘freedom and democracy’ will be soon in a theatre near you. The USA mercs are ready to ‘protect your resources’.

He handles all the historic garbage and lies thrown at him and Syria, all the intricate political and geopolitical questions, relationships with Putin, Russian military, and how he and Syria survived a decade of war.
Impressive. You can see a clear future by the time the interview concludes. There is no ambiguity about war, peace, Kurds, Israel, chemicals, reconstruction, Iran, China or Russian diplomacy.
Something uplifting for a change: This electro-neuro ( hopefully my rogue spell check will not change this word) system initially was developed in Russia from the needs of their space program.

The obvious, blatant contradictions of life continue here as people wallow in cognitive dissonance to the point that I think many people have turned subterranean, sullen and silent. It is football and family and a pox on
politics!
I trotted out with my flag and “Bring the Troops Home/ No endless war” sign and the response was after 3 1/2 hours and about 2,000 to 4,000 cars passing by very minimal: one sarcastic shout of “you are welcome for my service” ( NWO protocol is that one is supposed to gush all over a person identifying as a Vet by thanking them for their service) and 7 or 8 honks of support. One old man walked by, opened his wallet and showed me his veteran’s ID and encouraged me to “keep it up”.
But mostly silence and avoidance. Yep. a hard rain’s a’gonna fall. And then people will have to speak with each other in order to remain as human beings.
By the way, Gen Votel managed to stay in the Mid East to help maintain the grasp on the Syrian oil fields. Maybe he will be transferred to the Southern Command soon with his swamp creature buddy Elliot Abrams in order to deal with pesky Venezuela and the people’s war about to erupt in Bolivia.
Alarm bells for the Australian agriculture: https://www.globalresearch.ca/australia-organic-industry-sacrificed-sake-unregulated-gmo-tech/5694778
“Australia’s booming organic sector could be devastated if moves to deregulate the gene technology ‘CRISPR’ pass through the Federal Senate on the 13th of this month.
CRISPR technology involves removing unwanted gene traits from the DNA sequence of an animal, plant or microbial life form, or inserting a new wanted gene trait.”
“Australia could become the world’s leader in premium organic foods however, the potential for GM contamination will increase dramatically through the proposed level of deregulation, consequently closing markets that have zero tolerance for GM contamination to Australian producers.”
Hey, that CRISPR rings a bell. Wasn’t that used by a Chinese scientist to ‘make’ embryos that should be resistent to HIV, but may die earlier and are more vulnerable to other diseases: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/06/03/727957768/2-chinese-babies-with-edited-genes-may-face-higher-risk-of-premature-death?t=1573571663110

CRISPR is yet another road-sign on the road to omnicide. It is only to be expected that the dead souls who run Austfailia would embrace it enthusiastically, once someone waved a few dollars under their snouts.

I used to love and collect malaprops and share the chuckles…but it’s been quite a long time.
The best seemed to involve sex in some way ….a general theme notorious for the building of ….and then the release of tension….one of the most basic, elemental requirements of memorable humor, as well.
One of the best (in humor, not sex) that I experienced, evolved as follows:
Friends and associates were gathered in a private home for a Christmas party, Near Pasadena, enjoying wine and cheese.
As tongues and inhibitions loosened more and more, the conversation naturally got more risque,as general courage built to discuss less routine and boring social matters and venture into more forbidden territory.
A european woman became very animated by the new turn of the conversation and desired to contribute to it some datum regarding the role of the founder of the Playboy Foundation and Playboy Magazine……….and goings on at The Playboy Mansion.
Twenty years later I forget her point, but I will always remember that her excited remark ended with that man’s name:
HUGE Hefner
In that particular living room that night, under those circumstances……the eruption of laughter from the North Americans was positively explosive.
As was the rapidly following Second Wave of Laughter caused by the puzzled look on her face.
When it was explained to her that the “g” in the man’s name is a silent one…..and “Hugh” is pronounced the same as “hue” or “hew”….she finally got her own joke………and enjoyed the last laugh.
One a more serious note I find it entirely plausible that HUGE was in some way a CIA asset………and his mansion was most probably one of very many less famous “honey pots” equipped with hidden cameras for subsequent purposes of political extortion and blackmail.
That’s the “bigger” story here…….and NO joke.

There are accusations that eating meat is bad for the environment as has a large carbon footprint. Now, eating too much meat is of course not healthy, we are omnivores and also don’t have the internals of a sheep.
But we can lower the carbon footprint significantly in preparing meat. Just look at this marvellous invention of Thai scientist Sila Sutharat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK8Mvbp-ZpY
I must admit that this might not work thoroughly for a Christmas dinner in the area where I live (NW Europe). But hey, that would be a cool BBQ in summer ;-)
Cheers, Rob
Our closest relatives, the great apes, eat virtually no meat. Our ancestors ate little as well, as studies of dentition in ancient skulls show. We are healthier eating as little meat as possible, as rarely as possible, and it is better for the animals and for the biospheres. Grazing animals regeneratively helps sequester carbon and regulate the hydrological cycle, so, I suppose we might need to eat a few, but grain and soy fed feedlot animals are poisonous, to us, the environment and the poor, suffering, creatures too.
Apes don’t eat meat. Humans do. Apes swing through trees, humans build highrises and fly in to visit the apes in thier natural habitat……………….or whatever is left of it. Explain how Inuit/Eskimo only eat snow grass and ice pellets and survive. Humans, the most adaptable (scavengers) species on the planet, survives by eating what is in thier environment……..not wishy washy bs ‘this is what our ancesters ate’! You eat what is in your environment. Period. And that’s how civilization advanced. There is no where on the planet, under the planet, or above the planet that humans haven’t been, the apes……………………..still swinging in the trees.
“Explain how Inuit/Eskimo only eat snow grass and ice pellets and survive.”
I think they don’t. Are you sure Inuit don’t fish and hunt? Because I think traditionally they do: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit_cuisine
Though you can live on a vegan diet. As a matter of fact, my very father grew up under a very strict vegan kitchen, and still became a big strong man ;-)
Cheers, Rob
Rob, that was black humor, sorry if I confused you. The point is that humans eat what is in thier environment, Inuit eat seal liver, raw, you try it. No don’t. You’d die, overdose of vitimin A if memory serves. If we follow Mulgas advice every person on the planet would have to move. To somewhere warm, to graze on grass all day………yes, that’s more black humor, kindof.
Ok, granted ;-)
Your point is clear, it’s easy to eat vegan when living in a kind of (sub)tropical environment, but do that in Alaska (and forget the diesel slobbering ships that ship that healthy berries to the shops near you).
Btw, let’s be careful to use the word Eskimo. It’s derived from the French expression ‘Est-ce que qui maux’ which means something like ‘those who chew raw meat’. The Inuit (their own expression, it means ‘people’) consider that as an insult.
Black humor is ok, btw ;-)
Cheers, Rob
Rob, watch Life Below Zero, or Mountain Men, there are no stores, imported berries on a shelf don’t exist. What you collect, you eat. The people depicted in those shows, live off the land………….just watching Chip Hailstone’s recent ordeal (sno machine crash) trying to get to a Medical facility…………………wouldn’t take much to die out in the bush.
Disclaimer…………..as everything is scripted to some degree, they may well have a fully stocked Loblaws that they hide from the viewer……….but since we have people, Inuit, that visit and stay at our facility, I know that’s not the case.
Too bad the government forces/forced them to stay in one place………….something to do with nomads, soverignty, and the BS trappings that go with it.
All epidemiological studies have found lower rates of morbidity and higher life expectancy, as the quantum of animal protein in the diet decreases. You’re quite welcome to your meat, sean-I mean, who wants to spend extra decades in the nursing home or geriatric ward?
Mulga, I have it on good athority that one day we all will die. No one gets to choose the day……….nor how it arrives. Doesn’t matter how pure one thinks one lives.
I have heard that life is a sexually transmitted disease, with 100% mortality. Them’s the breaks.
There is growing number of people with vegan allergies and who eat meat only.
Food allergies are easy to come by these days.

Actually, a healty life requires ‘moderation’, with specific amounts from all food groups, including some tweeking as per each individual being geneticly different.

Actually, all the epidemiological studies have shown a persistent fall in morbidity and rise in life expectancy as meat intake falls (animal protein as a whole in fact) and consumption of plants, particularly beans and legumes, increases. Eating from all the so-called ‘Food Groups’ is industry propaganda.

“Subject: How Russia Meddles Abroad for Profit: Cash, Trolls and a Cult
Leader (NYTimes)
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/11/world/africa/russia-madagascar-election.html
Madagascar has little obvious strategic value for the Kremlin or the global
balance of power. But Russians were there during an election, offering
bribes, spreading disinformation and recruiting an apocalyptic cult leader.
“The Russians were hard to miss. They appeared suddenly last year in
Madagascar’s traffic-snarled capital, carrying backpacks stuffed with cash
and campaign swag decorated with the name of Madagascar’s president.
“It was one of Russia’s most overt attempts at election interference to
date. Working from their headquarters in a resort hotel, the Russians
published their own newspaper in the local language and hired students to
write fawning articles about the president to help him win another
term. Skirting electoral laws, they bought airtime on television stations
and blanketed the country with billboards.
“They paid young people to attend rallies and journalists to cover
them. They showed up with armed bodyguards at campaign offices to bribe
challengers to drop out of the race to clear their candidate’s path.
At Madagascar’s election commission, officials were alarmed. `’We all
recall what the Russians did in the United States during the election,’ said
Thierry Rakotonarivo, the commission’s vice president. ‘We were truly
afraid.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/11/world/africa/russia-madagascar-election.html
”
As I consider the NYT unfit for lining bird cages I have no subscription or login so unable to read the links.
I note that USAID etc. are in there therefore it is likely the USA is already meddling and threatening them with ‘democracy’?
https://www.usaid.gov/madagascar
No strategic importance? Madagascar would make an excellent airbase lilly pad for threatening and exporting US ‘democracy’ to African countries.
Could Ukrainians, with USAID help, pass themselves off as Russians and fool the poor folks in Madagasgar? Sounds completely like CIA fauxshit.

Climate Corruption
Climate Alarmists question the accuracy of weather instruments back in the 1800’s while ignoring improper placement of meteorological measuring equipment this century. The reason for this bias is to dismiss claims of hotter periods in the 1800’s to control the narrative that climate change in more recent years is created by humans.
But in modern times climate alarmists choose to ignore the inaccurate collection of data by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the USA. The document Titled “Climate Corruption” reveals a pattern of improper placement of weather measuring equipment resulting in bias.
Out of 1221, 860 thermometers were inspected by early 2009, 89% failed correct placement guidelines. The majority of them were too close to artificial sources of heat.
NOAA, have stopped using a handful of the poorly-sited thermometers whose photos have been circulating around the Internet. But the temperature data from those thermometers is still in the official temperature records.

Hong Kong colour revolution leader calls those who set others on fire “Fire Magicians” and celebrates it instead of condemning the extreme violence..
https://twitter.com/joshuawongcf/status/1186891914382938117
I’m just watching a local panel, including a leading local feminazi ‘Leftist’, on the Murdochised ABC, lying through their teeth about Hong Kong. One is the part-time spy-boy, and co-conspirator in the Russiagate plot to prevent Trump coming to power, Alexander Downer. As ever, no dissenting voice, whatsoever, is allowed. The fat feminazi just demanded we ‘leverage’ our trade with China to put pressure on China, apparently so effing moronic that she doesn’t realise that we have a 55 billion surplus with China every year, so our ‘leverage’ is zero. They are growing really frenzied in their hate, now, another geriatric feminazi hissing about the ‘Communist regime’, and a pet Moslem pseudo-feminazi moaning about the BRI project and China daring to ‘spread its influence’. Good god, the hatred is truly demented, but ubiquitous and universal.
My simple observation that this is nonsense disinformation from notorious denialists was somehow considered unsuitable. As I observed, perhaps this is part of the Great Warmist Conspiracy to destroy capitalism by undermining the fossil fuel Empires, their financiers and the petro-dollar, by faking the science, the observations and the opinions of tens of thousands of scientists, but how do they fake the natural changes? How do they fake melting glaciers, retreating rapidly, around the world, melting sea ice and ice-caps and permafrost?How do they fake the dying coral reefs, kelp forests, mangroves and sea-grass meadows? How do they fake the mega-fires, the record deluges and floods and the phenological changes? How do they do that, those awesome, omnipresent, seemingly omnipotent ‘Warmists’?
Maybe some hope for the hungry and save the planet…..”The firm claims to have produced protein flour from air using special microbes
These transform carbon dioxide, oxygen and nitrogen into a nutritious meal
NASA proposed a similar concept in the 1960s to feed astronauts on long trips
The product reportedly has a protein profile that is nearly identical to real meat”
Peanuts fix nitrogen also. Let’s hope these little NASA nitrogen fixers come hypoallogenical.
Canada’s famous hockey commentator, Don Cherry, offered job with Moscow ice hockey club Dynamo after being fired for offensive comments.
https://www.rt.com/sport/473319-don-cherry-russia-ice-hockey-club/
(IMHO, Dynamo watched CBC’s The National for Nov. 11, which led to this Tweet.)
I love that they included a snippet of Coach’s Corner from 1996 in this article. Back then, news was becoming all so very carefully scripted. And so was Coach’s Corner in its early years. (And Canadian news was coming under continual pressure from our Anglo superiors for being too biased. On and on and on about Canadian news bias… sigh.) So Coach’s Corner — there was a topic, an allotted time segment, a flamboyant coach (who’s likely to offend and raise ratings – age old tactic), and a cool professional broadcaster in Ron MacLean. Except as I remember it, Cherry and MacLean went completely rogue. Haplessly, they couldn’t keep to a script, let alone the time segment, or stay on topic. And Cherry’s capacity to stir controversy, to draw additional viewers, got entirely out of control of the producers. It was so refreshing to see these two guys defy the entire news establishment that they won Canadian devotion. Which saved them from being fired because they were on the state broadcaster. (*F*U* Anglo superiors!!) That’s my perspective on it. I still remember this so vividly that I almost sent an email to CBC insisting that they hire Cherry back again, even though 30 years have passed since that pivotal time, and I haven’t watched Coach’s Corner for a decade, and Cherry really is offensive.
Greta Thunberg is leaving the US. Be thankful, Americans. Her message is an echo of times passed. Politicians give me a sign! The future belongs to me! The environment, the stag in the forest? This is climate fascism. Close the eyes of the baby in the cradle. In the end you can see who may be behind this. An old man is worried.

Better ‘climate fascism’ than enialist death-worship and hatred of Life on Earth.
Throughout history we have seen some strange switch’s in power relationships. Countries that were “throwing shade” at each other one minute.Turning into “friends” the next.Stalin and Churchill during WWII.Prussia and Austria-Hungary fought a war in 1866 with each other.And a few years later became allies.France and Britain that had fought off and on for 2 centuries,became allies before the end of the 19th century.And Tsarist Russia,who hated them both (with good reason) became their ally around the same time.Then there was the Hitler-Stalin pact to postpone those two fighting in 1939.And the US and China becoming friendly in 1971,after decades of hatred between them .Erdogon shoots down a Russian plane,and their relations go to almost zero.And a year later,they seem to be friends (at least for a while). But with all those,and countless more.One of the strangest proposals for an alliance has just popped up in an article in RT.
One of the most powerful Ukrainian oligarchs,the dreaded Igor Kolomoysky.The Russophobe,killer of pro-Russians,funder of neo-nazi militias.The man many say was the mastermind of the Odessa Massacre in 2014.And who is considered the main backer and bank roller of Ukrainian President Zelensky.Has given an interview with the NYT ,and said Ukraine should ally herself to Russia.And have close relations.What to make of this I’m not sure.I do think its a good idea.But I don’t think he is serious.It looks to be a ploy to get more money out of the West.But I guess we’ll see.
https://www.rt.com/news/473355-ukraine-moscow-alliance-kolomoysky/
I think what happens publically in the Ukraine, remains a secret here in the U.S.
For once the truth is forced out to the public wild blue U.S. yonder, a great many, mostly democrats, are going to be a sorry lot of losers. And we already know about the Hillary loses election depression, that will be nothing compared to this. When the mains start crying live on the tv set, the wheels of justice should have good momentum and the people might, just might, start to waken about the consequences of it all.
Pentagon Says None F-35 Aircraft 3 Variants Meet Reliability, Maintainability Metrics
https://sputniknews.com/us/201911131077300645-pentagon-says-none-f-35-aircraft-3-variants-meet-reliability-maintainability-metrics/
“Operational suitability of the F-35 fleet remains below service expectations”, Behler told the US House Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness and Tactical Air and land Forces. “No F-35 variant meets these specified reliability or maintainability metrics”.
Behler explained that the F-35 aircraft breaks down more often and the necessary repairs take more time than expected.”
The ole american exceptionalism at work…
The bootlicking toadies in Austfailia have paid Imperial Tribute, as ever, to Thanatopia, and bought the F35 ‘Flying Turkey’. Lockheed and Raytheon are bigger financers of the local ASPI ‘think-tank’, the leader in racist and deranged Sinophobic hate sludge.
I can only hope that the Hegemon’s other obedient vassal, Canada, does not follow through and buy these overpriced ‘lemon jet’ hangar queens at taxpayer expense. A benefit to any adversary of course.
“Flying Turkey’ may be a slight misnomer in many cases since it implies that they do actually fly.
Will they live up to the title, ‘widow maker’?
Good….hope rhey bankrupt the military.
Can’t bankrupt a military when the tax payers pay the bills……………and if you bankrupt the tax payers………I believe that would herald in total anarchy………..along with that ‘cold dead hand’ thing.
V-22 Osprey
Despite Multiple Redesigns, US Osprey Aircraft Engines Still Troubled by Debris
https://sputniknews.com/military/201911131077300696-despite-multiple-redesigns-us-osprey-aircraft-engines-still-troubled-by-debris/
“According to the redacted report, the vacuum filtration system – known as the Engine Air Particle Separators (EAPS) – did not meet previous redesign guidelines set by the manufacturer, Rolls-Royce, and will require yet another redesign effort. The EAPS was previously redesigned twice: once in 2010 and again in 2011.
The Marine Corps’ MV-22 and the Air Force’s CV-22s both have Rolls-Royce T406 engines.
“When the [V-22 program manager] developed the specification for the original EAPS design, it did not require the EAPS to meet the Rolls‑Royce specification in all desert environments,” the report reads.
“The third EAPS redesign is intended to remove more soil from the air flowing into the V‑22 engine than the original EAPS; however, the soil ingested into the engine would be four times greater than the engine manufacturer’s specification allows,” the report’s executive summary reads.
However, the report does not appear optimistic about a successful redesign.
“V‑22 remains at risk despite more than nine years of EAPS redesign attempts. Additionally, the PMA‑275 cannot be certain that the third EAPS redesign will correct long‑standing problems with the V‑22,” the report notes.
According to Military.com, debris building up in Osprey engines has already been associated with a deadly aviation incident.
“Repeated, sustained flight time in brownout conditions … while attempting to land caused the left engine to stall, resulting in a loss of power that placed the aircraft in an unavoidable freefall to the ground,” a Marine Corps news release regarding the incident at the time reads.
The incident resulted in a guideline change: the maximum time that Ospreys can remain inside dust clouds was reduced from 60 to 35 seconds, The Drive reported.”
The osprey, an earlier version of the corruption and ineptitude that characterizes current pindo military/naval/air designs. They can’t even make a decent air filter. :-D
These guys really should have started on something simple before moving on to the hard stuff, either that or just get out of dodge while the getting is still good. If they wait to long they will be behind the crowd here on the streets of America.

Oh hark, the drums do beat, my love, no longer can we stay
The bugle-horns are sounding clear and we must march away
We’re ordered down to Portsmouth and it’s many is the weary mile
To join the British Army on the banks of the Nile
Oh Willie, dearest Willie, don’t leave me here to mourn
Don’t make me curse and rue the day that ever I was born
For the parting of our love would be like parting with my life
So stay at home, my dearest love, and I will be your wife
Oh my Nancy, dearest Nancy, sure that will never do
The government has ordered, and we are bound to go
The government has ordered, and the Queen she gives command
And I am bound on oath, my love, to serve in a foreign land
Oh, but I’ll cut off my yellow hair, and I’ll go along with you
I’ll dress myself in uniform and I’ll see Egypt too
I’ll march beneath your banner while fortune it do smile
And we’ll comfort one another on the banks of the Nile
But your waist it is too slender, and your fingers they are too small
In the sultry suns of Egypt, your rosy cheeks would spoil
Where the cannons they do rattle, when the bullets they do fly
And the silver trumpets sound, so loud to hide the dismal cries
Oh, cursed be those cruel wars, that ever they began
For they have robbed our country of many’s the handsome men
They’ve robbed us of our sweethearts while their bodies they feed the lions
On the dry and sandy deserts which are the banks of the Nile

Georgeous Sandy Denny vocal, and exceptional performance by all the members of the underrated Fotheringay. I know and love this song; a meditation that takes you to a place of longing and questioning of the bitter twists and turns of fate. All of Sandy’s work contains this same profound longing and sense of unattainable love. Some souls that become immersed in this state, never hang around too long, sadly. Nick Drake
is another.
Another week of sacrifice and conciliation. Don’t wait for the world to do it, do it yourself.

lol, I guess Trump is another John the Baptist to herald the coming of a Messiah?
https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/139943/rabbi-blessing-trump-as-king-shows-he-is-the-final-president-before-the-return-of-davidic-dynasty/
Note the Vatican hall makeover design for the King David crown. Still remember the photo’s posted of this interior.
Preparations advancing nicely for the new Messiah.
So this guy(your messiah) is just going to announce himself and the elites are going to bend over and obey his every word? I dont think so, this guy is going to have the fight of his life just to survive among the junkies.
For heavens sake read the link article to which my comment referred.. Who would have thought one would need to have used the sarc button on a site with such intelligent viewers.
I don’t click links. My bad, but there is a segment of the population who are expecting just that, some of whom are just now realizing that to overwhelm this(corrupt) system, would be what in the old days was referred to as, a miracle.
They offer their newly awaited friend a prayer, but the skepticism behind the offering suggests that they would not want to be among those who are being considered for such a challenge, lest they not make it and disappoint all the followers and the future they are destine to inherit.
On the other hand the rich also expect the messiah to be of their religion, and of course expect it to carry on as they so successfully do.

Come you masters of war / You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes / You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls / You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know / I can see through your masks….
You fasten all the triggers / For the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch / When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion / While the young people’s blood
Flows out of their bodies / And is buried in the mud.
— Bob Dylan, “Masters of War”
War drives the American police state.
The military-industrial complex is the world’s largest employer.
War sustains our way of life while killing us at the same time. As Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent and author Chris Hedges observes:
War is like a poison. And just as a cancer patient must at times ingest a poison to fight off a disease, so there are times in a society when we must ingest the poison of war to survive. But what we must understand is that just as the disease can kill us, so can the poison. If we don’t understand what war is, how it perverts us, how it corrupts us, how it dehumanizes us, how it ultimately invites us to our own self-annihilation, then we can become the victim of war itself.
this is what they call cartoons for children these days, please spend 10 minutes of your day and watch this.

Here’s a good summary of the James Le Mesurier affair, although I don’t think the ‘startling revelation’ described is anything new to many here.
Excellent though that this knowledge now has an official confirmation from the redoubtable Maria Zakharova.

Why would Russia eliminate this creature when they were exposing his intelligence links? But reason is not in the Western presstitutes’ lexicon. Servile subservience to power, always, but honesty, rationality and honour-it is to laugh.
@$$#*^& billionaires savage @$$#*^& Warren in order to fool Americans and give her street cred.
It just that they all strike me as phonies and I don’t like it when what little intelligence I have is insulted.
Clearly the US is breaking international law with it’s uninvited presence in Syria. I submit that Syria present an ultimatum, a date and time they want the US to leave or Syria will attack the US troops currently in Syria. Russia will chime in as well to back up this demand by Syria, stating that if the US does not leave by the determined date and time, and if the US fires on the Syrian soldiers when they attempt to force the US troops removal or arrest, that Russia will back Syria in Syria. It is time to stop the bullying by the US!
Hey Charles.
No sane person walks up to an 800lb irritable gorrilla and issues ultimatums.
To date the Russian/Syrian method of dealing with a belligerant irratic Us+NATO (including Turkey) and the Israeli menace has been effective.
Slow. Frustrating. Exasperating for armchair generals such as yourself.
Save your commentary for sideline analysis of the plays during Monday night football.
Eventually Syria will be sovereign and in control on its national oil and other resources.
But Russia is not going to start WW3 over a few oil fields.
Come back in 30 years and see who has control of Syrias oil.
Russia and China along with Iran, are playing the long game.
How long will Trump be president?
The US has already forgotten the Obama years.
Bush is ancient history.
And Reagan and Carter (who created al quada – branches of which later morphed into Taliban and morphed again into ISIS (all foujded and funded by the CIA)) that period of US history is lost and forgotten like some prehistoric time.
@ White Whale
I don’t disagree with your points and agree, Russia and Syria have succeeded so far. Yes I am frustrated and am simply – if foolishly – expressing that.

Maybe this will satisfy you (for now!)
“Kolomoskied “
NATO just May its pants sh-t
