Ok guys, here’s another boring poem from me (not for long, relax) :
Where Are You?
by ioan
Where are you Love, where is your Home
Somebody else sits on your throne
Where are you Good, where is your place
You are beaten, you are chased
Where are you Love, where are you Man,
It seems you’re loosing once again,
Departed, searching for new home
Leaving the place where you were grown
But don’t feel sorrow when you feel
That nobody will want to hear
About your lessons on the deck
When ship is sinking nearing the death.
So, what will happen next, with you,
Where’s your treasure in its truth,
Where’s your wisdom, your desire
Where’s your love and where’s your fire?
If your treasure lies in a bank
And you have angels in your flank,
You can bet, they’re close to you
They are dark and you are too
The trap is set, there’s no way out
You can succumb or play the game
You are your master, you are your god
You’re not alone but you’re to blame
Except,
Except for you’ll find the real reason
Behind the veils of hidden knowledge
On why you suffer in this prison
Hunting illusions, living on the edge.
My friend, don’t ever introduce your poems as ‘boring’, however humble you may think your efforts are. The reader senses where the writer is coming from and this is perhaps more important than the poem itself. Please forgive me, but it’s a form of black magic toward ourselves and helps neither you or the reader. Let everyone make up their own minds. Regards, D.
correct Dimitar-Ioans words hit me hard (just lost another loved one)kick him up the arse and tell him to keep up the good work
Thanks Dave, and sorry to hear about your loss. In my experience, however, life continues, and so, I’d have to agree with Sean below, love is “the one true measure of all”. It is the balm when the cold hard shears of death sever the physical bond between ourselves and our loved ones, and the thread that holds together the vast web of life.
Not boring at all ioan. You present your concepts in an unaffected and genuine way so that even I can understand it. But you also have a twist in the tail end, that invariably gives one a smack in the head :-)
Not boring and I missed your voice.
Thank-you.
Love; the only true treasure one should put in any bank………………….everything else is materialy immaterial. And what a gift to give, Love, unconditional……………..the greatest knowledge of all.
@ioan, nice to see you back, feeding the flame. Warm wishes to you this Christmas season of wonder, hope, and joy.
Cheers, M
merry Schistmas Chaun
What a relief to read your poetic offering! I had been wondering where you were. It is so good of you to check in at least once and awhile. We all have our unique voice and I had been missing yours. thank you

Security farters banned them, everyone –
when will we ever learn…
My dedicated Windows10 internet (hello, Saker, listen what you are about to buy into) computer was deliberately ruined by French security farters when I spent a few days in Paris this autumn, and only after these days, while waiting at the airport for the return flight. it was active again and started a show invented by The French Security Farters (FSF) (used already once in autumn 2015, but now adapted to W10)where your laptop tells that you are wrong thinking that you could start it to surf the internet – you cannot because “there is no harddisk in this computerв”, and this wisdom from the House of Rotschild is then repeated until you switch the thing off – and buy or find a new one..
Right now I wanted to find out who is responsible for such things including the present near perfect censorship of this Cafe in our country, tried “Bundeskabinett” and similar. They offer pdfs on everything, just press a key. When you do, Angela Rotschild-Schicklgruber and her slaves from Das Schwarze Corps tell you this…
WHEN, for instance, you asked for “Bundeskabinett”
and received [PDF] Das Bundeskabinett – Bundesregierung
https://www.bundesregierung.de/resource/blob/bundeskabinett-pdf-data/
and klick on it, THEN rhey refuse to deliver on the grounds that:
https://www.bundesregierung.de/resource/blob/997532/ 513938/2eac5b1a9d7faebd33ee47c45aacc597/bundeskabinett-pdf-data.pdf?download=1/
This however (what you get with copy+paste), is incomplete and a stupidly purified version for my use in this moment for posting to The Saker, but initially, before I thought I must tell the others about it, the response was (transcribed from my screenshot of it and with germ parts translated by me within marks В§DE-> and The web site under is possiblywise temporarily not disposable or has been permanently to another webadress moved Error unknown error<-DE§.
While I was trying to inform you, my friends, of this blatant censorship in the home of Angela Hitler, Ursula von der Leyen and Annegret Krampf-Kackebauer, somone was obviously shpitzelling into my writing, and moving into my field of view first one ridiculous lie, then, when i dawned on them that I wanted to post it, another equally blatant but less ridiculous, and finally the browser with all open windows was shot down.
So… that is "the most freedomly country that ever existed on german soil" with the heavenly task of bringing this version of "freedom and democracy" first to all other countries in Europe (Ursula von der Leyen and the Bundeswehr are fully on Hab Acht!)… and "morgen die ganze Welt" (and tomorrow to the rest of the world).
So much for now. Is it true that I have to fetch these pdfs with a secured smartphone, or what?
P.S. Same thing for the web adress "thesaker.is": at 17:37 CET it is possiblywise passinglywise not available or prepushed forever to a new web address. Did you know that?
There’s no censorship here, why isnt your laptop telling you you are wrong? Perhaps you should have it inspected by an expert, or maybe he’s(the computer) not as smart as you think he his.

At other side of planet I get same “warning”.
My IP refuses to allow me to view 4chan MoonofAlabama, The Duran.

This happens regularly with the two pro-Macedonian portals in Macedonia, edinstvenamakedonija.mk and http://www.dudinka.org. Edinstvena Makedonija, who is anti NATO, EU, also has total media blackout and is fast becoming a threat to both US puppets, so called Social Democratic Union of Makedonija and VMRO DPMNE, who’ve stolen the name of historic Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organisation. Edinstvena Makedonija promises to pronounce as null and void all anti-Macedonian agreements in favour of Greece/Albania/Bulgaria, and to turn toward Russia.
give a couple of bucks to Wikipedia
Well, Attorney General Barr says that the attempted coup against Trump is being run by a tight knit group of high level conspirators in Washington, DC. Looks as if the shadowy head-of- state of the deep state will be revealed soon.
So much for over-lapping Venn diagram or Deux ex machinus views of just what the deep state is or is not. Sorry. people and systems just do not work autonomously at least so far in human history, although there exists the illusion that some kind of mathematical equation will run the planet unchecked in the future. Shades of Asimov’s Foundation and Empire series.. (except in his last book, when the original Earth is found, it turns out that it has its own consciousness and plans and it is a despised yet loving, sensitive female who can hear it–not the head tripping, fact-bound male ) But I digress.
I sat down and watched all but the last 2 minutes of the 4 hour plus Putin press conference. Wow. He did muffle a few weary sights at about 3 hours and 40 minutes but soldiered on.
The backdrop was effective with the map. ( next time I will have a window open so I can figure out just where some of the reporters are from geographically). The signage announcing the conference rotated language in a
non intrusive way and the mural behind gave depth to the room in more ways than one.
But how did anyone ever run such a vast land with difficult climates and terrain, assorted peoples etc. and keep it somewhat cohesive?
A total Russian moment ( OK. Russian cultural moment…I have no idea what this is about and probably never will) was when a man jumps up brandishing and\ icon, a small flag and starts what sounds like an invocation-blessing and everyone quieted, Putin smiles. then off went the conference again.
The National Reserve Fund, inflation, productivity of the Russian worker, increasing real income, health care etc. etc. Like St Christopher, Putin carries Russia on his back and he really, really cares. He did not talk about wine caves but wine as a less toxic alcoholic beverage contributing hopefully to increased life spans and better health. And the population problem. Well, like Israel, Russia will have to do things high tech and smart, effective.
But the best take-away for me was the young Russian millennial ( she might have even been more like a Z generation) who invited people to a yearly unity concert that her group organizes. then Putin spoke about volunteerism . I think that the Russian young people will amaze the world really…and I am working with my twenty year old UCLA linguistics student( wants to work with robotics and language) godchild to keep her clear although she considers herself “woke”. Oh well, I just remember myself at 20 during the anti-war protests of Vietnam. then I smile.
Another thrill. And no. It\s not gone.
Enjoy.

“Fortunately there is one simple way to destroy a Boggart! LAUGHTER. You must force the boggart to take s ape you find amusing.”
Soon Donald Trump will make the face of Sham-peachment the visage of Nanci Pelosi, whose 2 year long crusade to overturn the 2016 election led to the adoption of TWO—count them, TWO– articles of impeachment. So pathetic are these articles, the Supreme Court has already ruled one of them unconstitutional, and she doesn’t even have the Labia forward them to the Senate for trial.
No need. That gives the senate even MORE time to investigate collusion between Pelosi, Schumer, and Biden. Lets hope to the mother of one of the countless girls he has fondled sues him for sexual harassment.
Indict Biden on Super Tuesday.
I say this once a year. You are all dear to me. And I listen and learn. Amarynth with her scholarly mind and earthy grounding in the essence of healthy food. I smell apple cider when I read her these days which is my transposition because she is in Australia . Dimitar with his koan poems and epic ballads and verse in between. And bro 93 Mr eclectic himself!! And plucky Ioan who wrestles so valiente with heart and head and inspires me to not be afraid of doing so myself. And I could go on. But thank you all for sharing, being your bold bad (ironic useage) selves! Oh did I forget mundanomaniac ? Am ordering “archetypes and collective unconsciousness” from Amazon ( yes I feel unclean and will do proper penance)
This is for you, teranam13. Based on a medieval Turkman lullaby.
Love Song
Good news, beloved, I bring to thee,
Good news to make you glad.
May your mountains reach the clouds above,
Their misty peaks in rainbows clad.
May your verdant forests cast their roots
Deep into the earth, my dear.
May no blade ever cut them down,
And may their shade spread far and near.
May your crystal clear waters run deep, my love
And may they never run dry.
May your waters that flow like blood through the land
Bring succour to earth and to sky.
May your wings grow sturdy, my dear sweet heart,
To carry you above the world of pain.
May they be strong enough to endure the sun,
And the endless storms of wind and rain.
May your white horse never stumble and fall,
May it bring you safely home to me.
May you never bow to the tyrant, love;
May your heart forever be free!
thank you. love it habibi
Thanks guys for your warm words, indeed I am less active these days, weeks, months, because I had to go back to work, living from art is a luxury for those who can afford it, so I have a few years until I get a full pension and the bills are coming…
Dimitar, my friend, the truth is that sometimes I’m so tired that no poems come in my mind, with doing art is the same thing, I have accumulated a lot of experiences and new ones are on the horizon, pushing me to think more and more deeply on what I am and how I get here, then continuing with the search for reason and logic and lastly, finding out how little I know. Interesting and sometimes chaotic thoughts until my head slips on the pillow in the silence and darkness of my room.
Regarding the censorship posted by Green Child, I have to say that it is not surprising at all, there were times when these happened more frequently, then slowed down for some reason and now they are up again for some reason. I hadn’t time to think about and study this fluctuation but there must be a tendency backed by certain decisions and plans, in other words, a strategy. It could be also said, that these are signs or precursors for something not yet visible. As Saker stated many times, the cyber warfare is going on…so, can we talk about happy new peaceful world ? As I said in the last Cafe, the humanity has a big problem which continues to grow like a big, big bubble, this bubble being a mixture of financial, political, demographic, ecological and social at the same time. Probably the guys up there are trying hard to figure out how to solve this Titanic Syndrome on a global scale.
Actually that guy(s)/gal(s) really don’t exist, to say solve globals.
It’s a most difficult task to just take a Palestine size state and attempt to figure out these most basic, and at the same time, enormous problems. It simply cant be done in the current hurry up global environment.
ioan, very sorry you have had to return to work, for many of us this is the same. Art is a very consuming practice. May peace be yours when you rest your head alone at night. The same also to anyone who hangs their head in shame for inability to rise to the understanding of the light of truth on earth that you have shared. Peace
Just another classic performed by a classic.

Looks like bad news here.The Swiss-Dutch company laying the Nord-2 pipeline has caved to the US threat of sanctions and is withdrawing from the project and stopping the pipe laying.The pipeline, from the comments made a few weeks ago, is around a month or two from being finished.There is speculation that Gazprom may take over laying the rest of the pipe.But I have have a couple of questions about that. First why haven’t they been doing that all along.And certainly since they knew the sanctions were coming. I’ve read about them for several months already.Are they not equipped to do that,and if that is true,why haven’t they been equipped by now.They are a very wealthy company.They should be fully equipped by now.And second,I’ve read that the EU adopted these crazy anti-Russian rules that the company that provides the gas can’t also build the pipeline.If that’s true,how can Gasprom build the line.There is a lot about the details of this project that aren’t very clear.
https://www.rt.com/business/476541-nordstream-sanctions-bill-pipeline/
Indeed, it looks like everything is recharged, a new bullet in the metaphorical pistol of this prolonged multi-sided Russian Roulette, as if the mild December made the Dutch feel enough confident that the whole winter will be easy from now on. On the other hand though, the mark is that of ambiguity, confusion in everything which has to do with Russian, therefore a lot of strings are being pulled in that direction. Well, that’s my view.
It seems just about anything can fall under the header of national security, even western political reform is a serious national security threat these days.
So when the tables are turned (as they most certainly shall) there should be no ill will from the politicians or the red line of hypocrisy will be drawn and used as evidence against them.
Maria Zakarova referred to this as “a new warrant for economic arrest”.
I’m quite sure there are alternative plans already being put to work. There is no way Russia is going to abandon the NordStream2 and so far Germany is not bowing under the pressure. The sanctions though also is on Turkstream pipelines. https://sputniknews.com/world/201912211077698979-nord-stream-2-sanctions-reflect-how-us-despite-22-tn-debt-stops-others-from-developing—moscow/
Are you all not just very very sick and tired of this perfidious bullying? This US administration has no sense of real people on the other side of their sanctions. They don’t care about humans, not even their own – this is a deeply treacherous administration, and so was a number of them before this one. These are the golems of our world. The sooner the rest of the world gets their alternative trading methods working, the better for all of us.
I think it is high time to close US embassies in Russia …..despite some vain hopes they might extend or renegotiate START etc……
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova lashed out at the US’ crippling sanctions regarding the pipeline this Friday.
“A state with a $22-trillion national debt prohibits creditworthy countries to develop the real sector of their economies!” she wrote in a Facebook post, adding that the “American ideology of living on loan has not withstood global competition.”
They will soon demand we stop breathing immediately. And many will obey, after all.

Foreign Ministry says Russia will continue projects regardless of sanctions
https://tass.com/politics/1102061
MOSCOW, December 21. /TASS/. Russia will continue to implement its economic projects, despite sanctions, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement of Saturday in connection with US sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 and TurkStream gas pipelines.
“Russia has implemented and will continue to implement its economic projects regardless of anyone’s sanctions,” the diplomatic service said.
https://www.logicno.com/politika/banditizmu-sad-a-usprkos-sjeverni-tok-2-ce-biti-gotov-na-vrijeme.html
Works can be completed by the Russian pipe-laying vessel which had already built the North Stream 2 along the Russian coast. 47 kilometers is missing to connect the first leg of North Stream 2 and to connect the second one about 70 kilometers. Together that is 117 kilometers of the total length 2500 kilometers.
The sanctions are irrelevant. Russia will complete and pay for the project itself, if required. The pipe is very nearly finished anyway. The Americans are wasting their time.
Wind of Siberia,
You are correct that the sanctions won’t stop Nordstream 2, but that is not what bothers me about it.
The mere fact that Congress and the President would alienate their European allies by such a totally ineffective ploy like this is disturbing. They seem to think that they can do absolutely anything – no matter how self destructive – and there is never a price to be paid for their actions.
My greatest worry is that the fall of the American Empire will end up in nuclear war. It is this type of action that increasingly convinces me that the people running the United States are dangerously out of touch with reality. I don’t think that is an overstatement. Remember when Hilary Clinton – on the campaign trail – promised to put a “no fly zone” over Syria – including a Russian Air Force Base in Syria. This latest act is just more proof that the people at the “top” of the United States are unhinged.
@ Uncle Bob
Excellent questions.
None here (including myself) seem to know the answer to whether indeed “the EU adopted … rules that the company that provides the gas can’t also build the pipeline”……
Concerning possible replacements for that Swiss-Dutch company:
(1) On 12 December 2019 Deutsche Welle said, https://www.dw.com/en/nord-stream-2-gas-pipeline-faces-sanctions-under-us-defense-bill/a-51641960 :
“…
“We will complete the pipeline one way or another,” a Gazprom official said Thursday. “The sanctions, if they come, will only delay the construction and make it more expensive. But they are not going to kill it.”
But Mikhail Krutichin, a partner in Russian consultancy RusEnergy, is skeptical about Gazprom’s claim. “There are no replacements [to the pipelayer vessels],” he told DW, because a likely alternative vessel, Russia’s MRTS Defender, can only lay pipes in depths of up to 150 meters (164 yards).
…”
(2) On the other hand, S&P Global reported on Saturday, 21 December 2019, https://www.spglobal.com/platts/en/market-insights/latest-news/natural-gas/122119-nord-stream-2-pipelayer-allseas-suspends-operations-on-us-sanctions :
“…
According to S&P Global Platts Analytics, Nord Stream 2 would have to seek alternative vessels and contractors to complete the remaining section of pipe in Danish waters if the sanctions are enacted.
“While the most challenging parts of Nord Stream 2 have been laid in water depths of around 200 meters, the remaining section in Danish waters at 90 meters depth remains complicated,” it said.
Russian companies operate capable offshore pipe-lay vessels, which have completed projects in challenging Arctic conditions, including the MRTS Defender, which worked on the offshore stretch of the Bovanenkovo-Ukhta pipeline.
Platts Analytics believes MRTS Fortuna could be used to complete Nord Stream 2, but is capable of laying just 1 km/d.
A further obstacle, according to Platts Analytics, is that the Danish permit application states that it is assumed that the vessels used to complete the Danish section will have dynamic positioning capabilities (such as those of the Allseas vessels) which are not present on MRTS Fortuna.
A Russian pipe-laying vessel that already has dynamic positioning capabilities, Akademik Cherskiy, could be used, but it would take up to two months to arrive to Danish waters as it is currently stationed in Russia’s Far East.
…”
(I can hardly understand on what actual grounds the Russian Foreign Ministry bases its present optimistic declarations…)
Surprise is always the best tool in the tool kit, And I wouldn’t be surprised if they have some robotic armed sub that would gently lay the pipe in its position. That and an override clause in the permitting and timing papers and the elites are back on edge with lost ground, lost credibility, and lost economic advantage.
Thank you Sergey for your detailed comment it was very informative.And it again makes me wonder how this problem was not dealt with before it came about.If the ship that can be certain to lay the pipe is in the Far East,the question is why.It’s not like for months we haven’t know the sanctions were coming.Did Gazprom just ignore that.Did nobody in Moscow bother to call Allseas and say “Hey if those sanctions are put on what is your company going to do”.And if someone did do that,why was the ship in the Far East not ordered right then to start on the way to the Baltic.Its reported today that Allseas has left the work site.So I wonder if anyone is guarding the area,there are open pipes unconnected somewhere there
seemingly open to sabatoge.There is also a report from Germany saying that the Nord-2 will be completed by the second half of 2020.That is a half a year behind schedule.This fiasco is not a good look for Gazprom,not at all.
https://www.rt.com/news/476644-nord-stream-completion-2020/
https://www.rt.com/newsline/476627-allseas-nordstream-ships-withdraw/
@ Uncle Bob
Indeed.
BTW, to top it off, one “tiny” detail: the U.S. sanctions law on Nord Stream 2 gave a 30-day “grace period” to participating companies to wind down their work. The wise Russian government was apparently “counting” (!…) on this, hoping to be able to hurry the whole job through that time window.
But now that the key pipe-laying company had already pulled out (with no chance for a quick replacement!), there will be no work of any kind – and the other European companies may well terminate their participation too by the end of the allotted month…
Investigative committee received evidence of change in the database of athletes done by Rodchenkov
https://en.news-front.info/2019/12/21/investigative-committee-received-evidence-of-change-in-the-database-of-athletes-done-by-rodchenkov/
The Investigative Committee of Russia (SC) said it had data according to which the former head of the Moscow anti-doping laboratory Grigory Rodchenkov handed over to the World Anti-Doping Agency WADA a modified version of the electronic archive of the laboratory. This was reported by TASS on Saturday, December 21.
“The facts of a remote visit done by the previous management of the Anti-Doping Center in 2015-2016 to the LIMS electronic database containing information on the results of the study of doping samples from IP addresses registered and located in the United States and Germany (the protocol of visits with dates, time and duration of work) were confirmed in LIMS was handed to WADA representatives in January of this year)” , – the agency quotes the official representative Svetlana Petrenko.
According to Petrenko, the evidence obtained by the investigation confirmed that Rodchenkov or other persons made changes to the database of the results of doping tests of Russian athletes.
In addition, the agency also has information that the former head of the Moscow laboratory transferred to WADA, as part of the cooperation, some alternative electronic archive of the laboratory, data truth of which has not been established.
………..
https://tass.com/sport/1101969
She added that the Russian Investigative Committee has information that the former head of the Anti-Doping Center Grigory Rodchenkov handed over to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) an alternative copy of the archive of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory. “The Investigative Committee of Russia has information about within cooperation with WADA Rodchenkov transferred some alternative copy of the electronic archive of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory, but its origin and the truth of the information contained in it has not been established,” she said.
At the same time, WADA denies examination of the base to the Russian Investigative Committee. “Foreign partners, giving assurances of their willingness to cooperate, evade giving the Russian investigation a possibility to conduct expert examinations of the LIMS electronic database version presented by Rodchenkov, and also refuse to conduct his interrogations on the criminal case, including video-conference,” Petrenko said.
Warm wishes to everyone for a merry Christmas, happy Holidays, wonderful Feasts, great Celebrations and most of all Healthy and Happy and Loving Families and for most, strengthening the bonds and relationships with the Divine, the Ineffable, or God or a greater Power.
A good friend of mine and a futurist trend type suggests that we’ll be into ‘global revolution phase’ up to and into 2026, so, we gotto keep our feet on the ground and hopefully our heads in the clouds and above all, remain sane and ‘get’ reality – an understanding of the difference between what is real and what is population entrainment will make a huge difference. Its going to be a phase of staying out of trouble rather than embracing mad mobs as seemingly everyone now joins a mob.
So will an ever present sense of humor make a difference – that is the difference between a human and everything else, I think is the ability to really laugh.
For The Saker Blog for the next year if I look at the statistics and such things, we’ve been given a swipe somewhere and visibility has reduced regarding the interwebs. We can even see that in the commenting population. To my mind it is not totally a bad thing, because it gives time to refocus, redesign and in terms of content to get closer to what we call and deeply sense to be the truth.
I’ll continue on to do the work that is there to do, (my mob is right here), from sweeping the floors to administrative stuff and sometimes high and lofty commenting :-) Personally I’ll continue to plant non-contaminated seeds, grow stuff and prepare good and non-toxic food in the correct ways to keep those around me healthy and fit for purpose. Of course, the ever present research on this topic or that is part of my life, as is resistance to empire.
This discussion – Dark Journalist and Catherine Austin Fitts touches on the real issues. CAF starts with her financial overview and how the normal person is now being fully carved out from any ability to have any power. Then the discussion goes into transhumanism, subhumanism, the part of the democrats which CAF believes is there at the moment to create dissonance, not to win per se. It would be interesting for all but it is long. “People who win in a rigged game get stupid!”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNG0lt3n2Us&feature=emb_logo
All the world’s problems can be solved in a garden. From CAF, it is time for each of us to say How can I be Useful and How can I be Productive.
Glimpses of the real al Qaeda.
It is general knowledge that al Qaeda was lead by Osama bin Laden until he was allegedly killed by US navy seals in Abottabad Pakistan. It is also quite widespread knowledge that al Qaeda was lead by CIA and MI6, cooperating with the Pakistan ISI, and that the name al Qaeda may refer to the list of al Qaeda members made by the intelligence agencies involved, it is also the training camp in which the al Qaeda was assembled and trained by ISI, CIA and MI6. Al Qaeda is the historic development of Mujahedin developed by the US state operations under pres. Jimmy Carter, US national security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinsky who personally interacted with and started Mujahedin (Jihad) in Afghanistan. This US operation was preceded by efforts to lure the Soviet Union into the country in preparation for the break up of the Soviet Union initiated by pres. Gorbachev that happened within the same timeframe of operations.
Al Qaeda must therefore occupy a somewhat heroic position seen from the western empire. That is obviously not the case rather the contrary due to later developments. Was that development somewhat a remedy of the western empires, destruction of evidence, keep everybody in the dark supported by well developed media cover by the corporations benefitting from occupation of Afghanistan, a cause developed from the very al Qaeda? The oil and gas transport from the former Soviet Union through Afghanistan was exactly the geopolitical goal, further to control the eurasian corridors through military occupations.
So who was these real al Mujahedin and al Qaeda operatives from the western empires.
Michael Semple fit that role perfectly, and his flimsy coverstory and rise to the title of professor is rather confusing. According to some his stories he replied to an ad in a british newspaper before starting working in Afghanistan in 1985. Certainly he must have been pretty young for a professor, and this is the time he learned to speak darsi perfectly working. Documentation for all the remarkable positions he held and has expanded into today, that there is no real knowledge of this man. On the contrary it is hard to establish whether his name is real or a spy name.
The lessons to learn is that the real operatives behind terrorist operations against the west, are actually agents from the west. And that these gain positions quickly into high positions of governments, and other organisations. Perhaps it is fair to say that to some extent al Qaeda is running massive propaganda operations, closely linked to corporate media, and are teaching at colleges and universities in the west.

Recently an al Qaeda operative working for the same western intelligence services were interviewed by Sophie on RT, also claiming a somewhat heroic role through corporate/state media, while the real story is large different from the narrative. These spies may have plotted extensive terroractivities in the west to start the fake “war on terror” declared by pres. George W. Bush.
Michael Semple, who was caught financing Taliban in 2007 for MI6 was under cover working at a EU agency, is allegedly an irish national, work in Northern Ireland, and the USA, was recently interviewed by al Jazeera as an expert on Taliban.
John,
Most of your links are from the 2008 period.
You may be interested in a book by someone I followed weekly on the old “Asia Times online” site along with Pepe Escobar from the late 90’s up to his assassination by Pakistani ISI in 2011.

I ordered and read the book a few months ago.

Note.
War on terror became very much the war on us, the people, it was the dismantling of democracy.

“Marching and chanting with our Chilean brothers and sisters along riot-scarred streets in central Santiago, past an astonishing number of smashed-up billboards, burnt-out subway stations, battered storefronts, broken traffic lights, boarded-up banks, hotels and businesses, it’s clear that elite control and “business as usual,” at least here in Chile, is no longer tolerable. Along the major thoroughfares such as Avenida Providencia, neighborhood or family-owned businesses, “somos pyme” have generally been spared, while colonial monuments, government buildings, Starbucks, McDonald’s, Oxxo, Domino’s Pizza the Crown Plaza Hotel, and other symbols of multinational control and consumerism have been spray painted, smashed and vandalized.
Supposedly prosperous Chile—the Latin America “free market” jewel of U.S. foreign policy (where President Nixon, Kissinger, AT&T and the CIA overthrew the democratic socialist government of Salvador Allende in 1973)—today has the surreal feeling of a post-modern dystopia. Block after block, mile after mile, with anti-government youth directing traffic at many of the intersections, every wall of the central city is covered with messages of resistance and solidarity, including heartbreaking photos of young protesters (my son’s age) murdered, blinded (the Carbineri have reportedly been deliberately shooting rubber bullets into the eyes of protestors) and imprisoned.”
Chile’s workers, indigenous Mapuches, farmers and the once-middle class, led by youth and students, are rising up against the one percent, despite tremendous repression.”
Major UFO Event over Las Vegas
https://youtu.be/Sr1MJ3nX3do
What will the military have to say about this? Quote Jesus? No I doubt that right?
“and fearful events and great signs from heaven.” Luke 21:11
Thanks for sharing this video, what struck me, irrespective of the UFO debate, was the magnitude of awe for what he saw and the burning passion to share this with others, of whom + 700 commented variously on.
People want to talk and write and share their experiences now like never before and seems there is still a window of opportunity for this, so far anyway the impact of censorship has not dampened the shifting interweb comments. On the contrary.
The awe and openness to share appear to be part of this consciousness shift, that has to do to my sense with the spirit of Russia, which can and will manifest anywhere on earth with the universal ability to stir conscience, to act, free of ego baggage.
It’s a wave of the future, for what’s new.
‘and fearful events and great signs from the heavens’ sure, why not, no good being fearful of the Antichrist !

“Corbyn was ‘smeared’, Johnson is a ‘buffoon’: Roger Waters says information war won big in UK elections (VIDEO)”
https://www.rt.com/uk/476555-boris-johnson-roger-waters-election/
“The new Tory majority in the UK Parliament is the result of a vast information war waged by the country’s elite, Waters told Afshin Rattansi, host of RT’s Going Underground. He went on to note that the manipulation of news and information has become “almost the most important thing in our lives.”
Waters said that Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn had been “smeared beyond belief” by the media, paving the way for Johnson’s success at the polls. Describing the prime minister as an “oaf and buffoon,” he suggested that the election results signaled more trouble on the horizon.
“The mainstream media is owned by very rich and powerful people. And in consequence it may be that they are coming closer and closer to controlling everything. Not just all the elections, but everything.”
He said that misinformation is the “elephant in the room,” arguing that it was the duty of dogged journalists such as Julian Assange to help educate young people about the true state of the world.”
‘They’ll soon demand we stop breathing’: Moscow slams Nord Stream 2 sanctions, says US hinders economic growth
https://www.rt.com/news/476550-zakharova-nordstream-us-sanctions/
“Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova lashed out at the US’ crippling sanctions regarding the pipeline this Friday.
“A state with a $22-trillion national debt prohibits creditworthy countries to develop the real sector of their economies!” she wrote in a Facebook post, adding that the “American ideology of living on loan has not withstood global competition.”
They will soon demand we stop breathing immediately. And many will obey, after all.
Russia “has implemented, and will continue to implement, its economic projects regardless of any sanctions,” but the whole affair will show whether European countries are ready to sacrifice their own energy interests for those of the US, the Foreign Ministry added later in a statement.”
‘Interference in domestic affairs’: Germany fumes at US sanctions on Nord Stream 2 pipeline
https://www.rt.com/news/476549-germany-responds-nordstream-sanctions/
“Germany “has noticed with regret that the sanctions initiated by the US Congress against Nord Stream2 and Turkstream [pipelines] came into force after being signed by the US president,” deputy government spokesperson Ulrike Demmer tweeted on Saturday.
“The federal government rejects such extraterritorial sanctions. They affect German and European companies and represent interference in our domestic affairs.”
Under the legislation, US visas and American properties owned by those continues will be revoked and frozen. Allseas, a Swiss-Dutch company laying underwater tubes for the pipeline off the Danish coast, already announced it is suspending operations in the area.”
Nearing the Christmas, here’s a short story :
Grown up in a updated society – named so by my westerner partners – I found myself in a strange situation when the youngsters of today are telling me the same : “oh, you’re updated, seemingly you belong to those in the past with your pessimist revelations…” and ” the world is functioning now totally different, going in the good direction…” . “well, that’s good” – I answered, “what do you suggest for me to do first , ” – I asked them.
” First you have to buy a smartphone…” .
Oh, I see, that way I’ll belong to the modern society and my chances to think more positively will increase dramatically…never thought that way, but the problem is that I’m stubborn like almost all elderly people, therefore certain changes I don’t like. That’s not a bad news for the phone manufacturers and different software companies at all, their target is not me and other prehistorical social two-leged animals anyway.
One day, travelling with the bus to the school, I saw an older man sitting and trying hard to figure out how to make a call to his daughter…near by, a group of younger boys and girls had a good laughing on this until I asked them to give a hand…which they did… in two times and three moves. The man, looking at me, told : “I will never learn how to deal with, my time is too precious now…”.
I very much like your story.
I too must serve as A Bridge In Between Generations.
I also have a story coming up, inspired by you and other wonderful Cafe Clients Past and Present.
Andrea, most recently was a Shooting Star….or Comet that WIll Return….Some Day? Such a brief but impressionable stay!
There was Elsie……..Basqueing in Artistic Passion and Communist Fervor…..and Her Mentor………..not a shabby socialist soul either!
Martin from Soviet East Berlin and Dennis the Menace coexisted peacefully……….demonstrating that Nuclear Annihilation …….may not be Inevitable, After All!.
Chimmy,who I could not chime in with….(Moderation Rule #15 which should be exchanged with # 17….just for the sake of coding accuracy)..Because: .we.gotta follow the rules, right?? First warning.
And then there was Ms Liberty who reappeared after months of being abused for liking Trump…to announce that Good E.T.s (Angel’s for Christian believers…..) were helping Russia Save The World (by providing the military tech edge to stave off the Empire) and ……………..Active Patriot……….of a less esoteric, less speculative bent with his FBI Anon research. That Poor Precursor was under threat of Death…. if outed.
Is there even a Wray of Hope for ANYone Good in that outfit???
I’m doubting it. Being modelled on the Napoleonic Secret Police…..and being run for decades by a Mob-blackmailed Cross-dressing Homosexual…is NOT ………..THE most promising start!
But I have indications that 2020 Will Be A Most Fabulous Year.
So be in Good Cheer!
(But Keep Your Powder Dry, Just In Case! This should be a given, that needs no repetition…..but “Are we there yet?” No….we’re here. LOL)
man, iaon, you are asking the young one for the way? you’re kidding? The young wine to tell us old ones?
But right you are, and that story, you tell, has an ovary for a coming bud. I love it. I ‘know’ these kids will
grow beyond low sensations in their right or left hand becoming older, might become able, to move clouds which we cannot fathom to move.
I believe in the breath of God-father and the son, into completely ‘normal’ souls. No, I don’t believe, I know it.

My Christmas 2019 Story
Neon Revolt wrote a book and released its first Edition a couple of months ago.
I bought five copies.
One for my Red Pilled Sister.
One for a Blue Pilled Relative (“Last Call to Kick Pheno-barbital”…………”Side-effects include a decreased level of Consciousness……”)
One for a friend that lives in Shiffty Schiff’s District….and is mulling running against him 2020.
One for a longtime, 40+ years LaRouche organizer that wants to celebrate her “retirement” (…..that would be less than 6 days a week, 52 weeks a year for 40+ years) in Russia for a month…spring of 2020…..and be in Moscow for Victory Day. With (well,in the same section of town….lol…).Trump (if he makes it) and Putin (who invited him.)
One for myself…and in Special Strategic Gift Reserve Status.
But I digress.
Since his book release Neon clammed up completely (except for Social Media, which I’m not social enough to partake in…and my time is too precious now to learn how………) and wrote no more articles at all for his website until late yesterday….which “notifications” on my phone drew my attention to, his last two on the website
neonrevolt.com. dated dec 21, 2019
There is where a reader commenter posted a kind of poem in solidarity with Neon’s Agitated & Severely Tested Faith……. in the penultimate article comment section (not the latest article on the Obamas’ Cabal Deployment to Asia to Try to Save Their Asses….from The Storm) which resonated, for me, at least…. with some of our poets’ passions, especially the Returning Most Prolific One (over time…..not every day…please everyone deserves SOME rest!) our own Drawing Artist, Poet and Short Story Writer, ioan:
Closure of the Day
Actually, I believe nothing,
and I doubt everything, even You.
But sometimes when I think that You are truly alive,
then I think, that You are Love, and that you must be lonely,
and that You are looking for me with the same despair
with which I am looking for You
This expression quoted by the commenter and quoted again by me here………..was in response to Neon’s declaration within that Blockbuster Penultimate article of his from yesterday…which was something to the effect that :
“I want to see the face of God.”
the commenter quoted him and said:
“I think that feeling is mutual … a Dutch poet once wrote this wonderful piece of text, that I will try to translate as best as I can:”
and then pasted………….. Closure of the Day…as I have here, after reading it a few hours ago. And this reminded me not only of ioan, but some other poetic Cafe Spirits….as well.
Much Scientific and Spiritual Speculation in that article and quite serious comments from readers for this Yuletide Time….but heavy on Theological Questions…a few of which I now post before my Wrap Up Christmas Thoughts Today:
A “Christian” Commenter short on agape…IMHO:
Hmmm while I COMPLETELY disagree with your analysis of the Bible and BTW doing so not from systematic theology in my head – I think u may have blundered in venting/ranting/waxing eloquent/whatever else u would call it – about Christianity. I fully believe everyone should have the freedom of religion, etc. But in an analysis/post to spend so many words on your flawed analysis/understanding/belief about the bible —- well I and I am sure others didn’t “come here” to “listen” to that. What ends up happening is….. static…..static…….disconnect.

I appreciate all of your hard work. People who preach the gospel often earn their living by the gospel, and I hope you are able to live well from your labor.
It does not surprise me that we have been kept in the dark about many aspects of God’s creation. God has his glorious plan that He reveals as He sees fit. The gospel was kept a “mystery” for thousands of years until the Messiah showed up, a complete surprise to the Jewish nation that was built precisely to help usher HIm in.
All that said, I disagree with all 4 points you made about what Western Christians haven’t considered. I can tell you that vast volumes have been dedicated to those very considerations.
I know you do not claim to be a theologian and are simply voicing your thoughts and your reasoning. There are many reasons to be frustrated with all of the various wings of Christianity over the centuries. However, I would simply caution you against stating in any way that Jesus didn’t die to purchase our salvation. No man comes to the Father except through the Son. Those who do not put their faith in the Son face wrath. Wrath that is Just. God is loving, but he is also righteous and just. None of us deserve heaven, we deserve hell. We are only reconciled to God through Christ. If you don’t believe there is a heaven or hell, or that Jesus’ sacrifice was required for our reconciliation to God, then you are lost. You don’t believe the Word of God, and believing the Word of God is the only path to God.
2 Peter 1:20-21
But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation , 21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
The Word of God is carefully crafted and clear as to the necessity of atonement and of faith in that atoning work being essential for salvation.
I don’t pretend to know all of what you have researched over the years. I enjoy reading your work and learning from you about these matters. However,I do know the scriptures. There is a heaven. There is a hell. There is a judgement. Not because I think there should be, but because God has said there is.
Brennan, Comey, Obama, the Clintons, etc., deserve the wrath of Justice. However, God would gladly welcome any of them into His kingdom if they accept the gift of His Son. He does this out of Love.
You stated:
“Full disclosure: I had a problem with the Western conception of Heaven and Hell for the longest time, however – and I mention that because I know I’m writing to (mostly) Protestants and Catholics (ie, Western Christians). The reason I had a problem with it is because, frankly, you have to erect a whole system of Penal Substitutionary Atonement around it – in which Christ basically takes on all the wrath of God which we deserved for our sins – in effect, taking on the punishment of Hell in our place.
And a lot of Western Christians believe that as Gospel without considering that:
It makes Wrath, not Love, the defining characteristic of God.
It makes God fundamentally unjust. If someone commits a crime, and I as a judge punish a completely innocent person instead of the criminal, well, no person on planet earth would say any kind of justice was carried out, no matter how willing that innocent person was. No, it’s still clear I wrongly punished an innocent person.
It also sets the persons of God against himself, turning God into something of a schizophrenic. I mean, really, if God the Father, and God the Son are co-equal and in perfect alignment, what benefit is derived from God punishing himself?”
It’s not actually in the Bible. It’s an extrapolation made by some theologians who come much later and get more than a few things wrong.
“And with that, I can already hear the REEEEEing coming from a certain corner, who have made certain “Systematic Theology” texts the cornerstone of their lives. But the fact remains – all this was an extra-biblical “innovation” which, at best, you can track to Anselm (Augustine, if you have no understanding of how the words he used were understood in his time, and how our understanding as modern Westerners differs).”
All of this is simply not true. Everything you state is “extra-biblical” is clearly stated in the Bible itself.
Rom 3:21-26
But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; 25 whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; 26 for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Rom 5:6-11
6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. 10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 11 And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
Isa 53:5-6
5 But He was pierced through for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,
And by His scourging we are healed.
6 All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all
To fall on Him.
I respect you, admire you, and hope and pray that God will continue to use you for His glory.
AND FINALLY:

You are right about Western churchianity—but perhaps ignorant of Christianity.
Not Protestantism, which broke away from Roman Catholicism a few hundred years ago, or Roman Catholicism, which broke away from the Church in 1054, but the true historical church, Eastern Orthodoxy.
Eastern Orthodoxy, for example, does see heaven and hell as ontological. And we see time in a way similar to what you describe. We see scripture as historical and moral, but also in mystical ways profoundly (cosmically) more mind-blowing than what you describe here.
I hope you will check it it out.
Thanks for the great work on our behalf!

I’m already Orthodox. Thought I made that clear.
Bro Back: Who says you shouldn’t EVER discuss politics or religion in polite company??
What Kind of Passionless Banal Cabal Pablum is THAT???
All for now!
Bro, you are a kind of Zappa to me, you dig it short and you do it in the long and winding way.
Truly, I imagine, that in the turmoil of US-Settling, you are one of the original Craws watching
(in a certain way, personal, with red and blue sisters, which is interesting, but on long and winded
ways, I’m not baked to follow.
You certainly got it, I’m swashed with the short waves and leave the long ones to the fellow-surfers.
This is it that eases my yoke. My part of the waves, leaving enough to the others.
There is something in our Bavarian kitchen, that compares with our connection at the vineyard: 2 of your shots in Californian desert – places.
Like the Saker, like some, you are living history with me and I’m glad to share the vineyard of coming vintages with you, and the poetical corner in the Cafe subtiliously shared with my Californian queen, and my goddess of another hemisphere.
All you poets off the effective thing in permanent invisible creation, out of my deep little lap in existence in the mirror of the bright spirit of Sagittarius, on the shortest day of the year I command us to:
the beginning which there was word, and the word was with God, and the word was God, and itself was with God in the beginning, and anything being made is made out of it …
This, in full might, is the alpha and omega to me, constantly enfolding it’s weeks, while presently the demonic actors are hysterically feeding their costly nets …
There is so much consolation in one Putin’s ‘professional ethic’, so much for a blessed youth, to work and have a family and mature in ‘normal life’ on the ways of humble triumph at last for planetary adaption.
And if it is only told to you by the gods – it is in world and soul, by All poets of life, blessed as you are – together with my point in universe – let’s have a vital Christmas and new Year
mundo
Bro, before we believed, we knew. This is what Joni meant, when she sang,”…and we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden…” And the way, no less, as Mundo says below, is the Word… and the word, should anyone like to know, is HU. The best ‘hit’ you’ll ever get, with no side effects. Man’s disease today, as always has been his “belief”, belief in one thing or another. But any insightful person will notice that our beliefs have already changed since yesterday, and jholding obto yesterday’s belief causes first conflict within oursleves, and then with everyone else. Knowing, a quality of Soul, unlike believing, a quality of mind, allows all to be whatever they wish to be.
Wishing the Saker community a peaceful and Blessed Christmas.
Pray for rain for our drought dry country to put out the raging bushfires that have burnt over 4 million hectares and destroyed 800 homes since July. The fires will only stop when there is nothing left to burn or it rains.

Sergei Skripal’s Three Telephone-Calls Open The Question Of Which Side The British Think He’s On
http://johnhelmer.net/sergei-skripals-three-telephone-calls-open-the-question-of-which-side-the-british-think-hes-on/
Sergei Skripal (lead image), the central figure in the British Government’s 21-month old story of an attempted assassination by GRU, the Russian military intelligence agency, is alive; not very well; and living in England.
Skripal has revealed himself in three brief telephone calls to his niece Viktoria, living with his mother Yelena in Yaroslavl. The first call took place on April 4 of this year, a year and a month after Skripal and his daughter Yulia were hospitalised in Salisbury, following an alleged poison attack in the centre of the city on March 4, 2018. The second of Sergei’s telephone calls home was on May 9, 2019, when he left a brief recorded message on Viktoria’s telephone; May 9 is celebrated in Russia as Victory Day for the defeat of the enemy in Europe. Skripal’s third call reportedly took place on June 26, following his own and Yulia’s birthdays….
London lawyers who have reviewed the new evidence observe that Sergei and Yulia Skripal are now healthy and articulate enough to testify as witnesses in the coroner’s court inquest set for early next year into the cause of Dawn Sturgess’s death. That, according to former Prime Minister Theresa May and the Metropolitan Police, was caused by the same Novichok as targeted the Skripals. “There is no other line of inquiry beyond this. And the police have today formally linked the attack on the Skripals and the events in Amesbury – such that it now forms one investigation,” May told the House of Commons on September 5, 2018.
London sources also believe the new telephone-call evidence has the potential to transform the British and international narrative of the Skripal case. What reason of state or law is there, they ask, for the authorities not to permit Sergei and Yulia Skripal to telephone Yelena and Viktoria in Yaroslavl, nor allow mother and niece to visit the UK? That question in London leads back to Viktoria’s question in Moscow – was the Salisbury incident staged, and if so, are the Skripals under British arrest?
This is just bad stuff to discuss here before the world wants to celebrate all in their different ways.
This is the Donald’s proclamation that space is now a war-fighting domain. This is anti treaty and anti peace.
The US now has a space force, and a space command.
“In a ceremony marking the force’s official launch, US President Donald Trump said that space is “the world’s newest war-fighting domain” and that “American superiority in space is absolutely vital.”
China says: “The specific US actions are a serious violation of the international consensus on the peaceful use of outer space, undermine global strategic balance and stability, and pose a direct threat to peace and security in outer space.”
https://www.rt.com/news/476656-china-us-space-force-threat/
So, I think we will look back on the end of 2019 as the moment that we are fully in a new arms race. We always say that we can thank Donald Trump for not having an immediate war after his inauguration as President. But with this last military budget just signed, we not only have sanctions against whoever the good Lord put upon this earth, but a new space force, a declaration of a new war-fighting domain.
The MIC cannot be curbed, otherwise the US will have to find another way to exist economically. But what are we going to do to curb this hunger for war which Trump shares evidently?
I don’t see an outcry in the American public to stop this. In fact, I see only rarara. What do they think this means? That they are going to shoot down ET’s? or any other country that is in space?
Eric Zeusse says in his piece posted this morning: “To this reporter’s knowledge (which, however, might be incomplete), the first-ever public report that the U.S. regime is using sanctions as the preliminary and cheaper stage toward a possible military invasion was here (from me on 27 May 2019). What Mnuchin on December 14th said, to CNBC, provides the first official confirmation that this reporter has yet seen of this now not-only-established but even officially acknowledged fact. It is now, officially, the U.S. regime versus, actually, the entire rest of the world, and sanctions are the first line of attack.”
Opening a new war-fighting domain is not in our interest as people that live on this earth.

Supposedly, Obama is secretly endorsing Elizabeth Warren to big Democratic donors:

This is just another example of how out of touch the American elite has become. For many people – including former Democrats such as myself – an Obama “endorsement” is not helpful, it is downright toxic.
Dear Amarynth, if you don’t mind, I will respond to your email openly, because this is something which I already shared within the Cafe some time ago. I told then, that I made a new Calendar for 2020 and there will be no separate Cafe Calendar for 2020. The new calendar had been sent to Saker some times ago, in its final version, which I did explained to Saker as much as I could. Everything is there, please ask Saker for further information, the final decision is his, not mine, I’m just a simple contributor of some sort and a reader as anybody else.Thank you for your best wishes, for your warm words and friendship, I really appreciate them, mostly now.
