An Israeli Journalist Interviews Ernst Zundel (full)
One of the most hard-hitting interviews an outspoken Ernst Zundel ever gave to one of his political
enemies. A stunning interview addressing the centuries-old enmity between the Germans and the
Jews.
A cultivated conversation between two men without interruption and insulting the discussion partner.
https://archive.org/details/youtube-SEqF4YQLhdw
Fascinating. This truly remarkable interview apparently took place in Canada, and if so, it was sometime before 2005, because he was deported from Canada to Germany in 2005. BTW, the YouTube links given in the archive are non-functional … “wonder” why……
I found another video titled: Ernst Zundel Interviewed by an Israeli
Journalist (1996)
This video also includes an introduction by Zundel
The interview starts at 11:17

Thank you. The YouTube video that you provide is then the above archive video – plus Zundel’s introduction. So: the interview was actually in 1996. If one looks at the biographic data about Zundel that is available on the web, one cannot but get horrified, what a gigantic life battle this able man was forced to fight just to get out the truth!
I cannot play your link, it gives an Error Code 224003.
Link plays for me without error code. Perhaps try again, mod
I did, still get the same error message. The second l ink, with a youtube URL does work though – fascinating and though provoking. However, I notice still the words of President Putin who has access to archival files of actual reports, paper work. He has stated that Hitler had planned the complete extermination of Slavic Peoples; and that millions were “tortured, included Russians, Gypsies, “. I do remember from an autobiography of a POW in Upper Silesia post war, his testimony to the horrific metered out to Russian prisoners. So – while some of waht this German gentleman claims is probably true, it’ needs sorting of the wheat from the chaff – which I guess is almost always the case.
I’ve just read the necessarily rather lengthy and thorough Ron Unz article published by Information Clearing House(Tom Feeley).
I’m sure our Saker has also, As usual Unz gets the job done. About a lot of things.

Something has been gnawing at me in the back of my head for at least a week now, ever since the obvious bio weapon was unleashed against China. Something almost there but not quite clear enough…
Then it just dawned on me, 5 minutes ago. The corona virus is a weapon against CHina sure, and it will have a profound effect on one big project CHina has been banking on…BRI. Forget the low death count, forget all the fear mongering, forget the broken supply chains, it was specifically designed to stop and prevent BRI, exactly how USA is working to prevent the North Stream from being complete..
As somebody about a year ago said on Zerohedge: “The Chinese will soon learn just how nasty the white man is…”
Funny, but NOBODY has discussed/mentioned the effect Corona virus will have on BRI.
@Hoyeru and all
a lot of ppl have and I am the only crazy one that goes way out to speculate a whole lot more…

Whichever way and what ever happens from here, EVERYONE, literally, is affected, health and wealth, and The Reset has been initiated… and many will die, from the bio-weapon virus and financial crisis and resource shortage (inc food, water, medicine etc) and lock down and ‘changes’ to the law/regime and on….

Vit.C as prophylactic against viruses.
You had me at “The Reset has been initiated…”
We may as well ask what the effect will be across the world – and that we do not know yet. BRI is not one huge project – it is many huge projects, and runs from China across something like 70 countries. Is this virus going to be combated, or break out across the world? Assume for a moment that the worst of it will be in China and only smaller and sporadic incidences in the rest of the world – then, the only BRI exposure would be businesses inside of China that will be affected of course and project management across the BRI. Across the complete BRI spectrum the effects will be muted. 70 Countries with rough reckoning and not taking economic metrics into account, approaches 40% of the world. China itself is going to pay a terrible price in terms of business and economy.
I see some crazies out there are trying hard and maliciously to change the narrative from ‘Novel Corona Virus’ to ‘Chinese Virus’.
Parts of his statement don’t make any sense, no offense to him naturally, but the only way to prevent it would be an economical one from severely stunted labor point of view.(and would most likely be a world wide recession or depression event)
And that remains to be seen from the direction of the spread of the virus, he fails to mention this as a cause, but is rather detailed in his statement of effect.
Question: is the weapon the virus itself, or the news that accompanies it? Hint: the word ‘magazine’ was
historically applied to periodical pamphlets after the first usage of the word — a part of a firearm.
One could consider the “virus” in its totality (pathogen+fear) as a stimulus designed to elicit an autoimmune type response.
Well we do know that many poisons exist thru out the human body, and some particular mechanisms to release said poisons are also a known.
How many and of just what form are probably still an unknown, so yes, is fear one of these mechanisms, I would gander yes. Is, or does, releasing, or removing said poisons, directly related to ones better health condition, I would also answer yes.
Should making known these mechanisms of release be considered a magazine, or a firearm, probably not although the end result would suggest that they would be considered as such as they are a rather internally violent method of release.
Did I answer your question or just add to the question?
Consider also that the ‘cure’ for the virus are nucleotide analogues (e.g. AZT an AIDS drug). Kimberly Bergalis recieved treatment and died as one would expect given that the drugs are poison; Magic Johnson did not receive anti-retroviral therapy and is still living. See Duesberg, Peter and Yiamouyiannis, John AIDS: The Good News Is HIV Does Not Cause It: Health Action Press 1995.
One has to view things through the eyeglasses of Mammon, to fully appreciate Western Civilization.
Yes; good question. The virus, although it may infect and kill victims worldwide, will not touch everyone. The fear, on the other hand, will (perhaps already has) reached into the heart of every man, woman, child (and dog) the whole world over. So fear is the real weapon. 40 years ago in Church I remember the Reverend defining fear as “False Evidence Appearing Real”.
There are a couple of social issues which will affect China with a Respiratory Tract infection, which will not have traction across the rest of the world – and these don’t seem to be getting any public discussion.
One is that China is the worlds No. 1 for smoking. It’s estimated 350 million Chinese smoke, and that it has a social cachet that has been eradicated elsewhere. We all know the damage smoking does to lungs, which means that many more people there will be susceptible both to contagion and severe illness.
The second has to do with transmission. I have spoken to two people who visited China a great deal at times over the last 10 yrs. Both report being shocked by the extensive nature of what we find an abhorrent and “taboo” social habit – expectorating in the streets. Spitting. Again, throat mucus and saliva are highly contagious, and very strong carriers of infection. I was assured by both people that, although most Chinese cities are in other respects very clean, and street cleaning trucks are out in the early hours every day, during the day the amount of expectorate on the streets becomes prodigious.
These are complicators for a condition like a new cold outbreak that other countries wont face.
I do have vague recollections from childhood of someone explaining to disbelieving me that the iron (brass/) open bowl on the London streets were “spatoons”, a receptacle for spitting into.
I don’t know if they were for smokers, or when they disappeared, along with the spitters..
Snakes spit venom, we know that, I guess people can spit venomous thoughts and words if they choose to – public health and safety thought spatoons ?
They were predominantly for smokers – but had originally been for tobacco chewers. Have to remember, there was a time when tobacco was chewed, as much if not more than, smoked. Chewed and then the dark brown, smelly saliva spat out. However, for those who just had a high level of sputum in their bronchi it was there to be used.
I think they have been gone a long time. I dont remember ever having seen such, and for all my life, public expectoration has been a social sin in England – and it was long before that in Cymru.
It’s curious that it has not been so long realised in England that saliva and gums carry a huge bacterial count. .
The Anglo Indian writer, M.M. Kaye wrote of a comment made by the Indian people, back in the days of the Raj, in the 1800’s, that in India the teeth were cleaned by picking a sharp thorn or stem of a Neem tree to scrape clean, and then throwing it away in dust “because it was well known that saliva, of all things, was most polluting. However, the English apparently did not know it”. This was because the English, as do we today, used a brush which they just left out and used over an over again, to the horror and disgust of the Indians. {Since that realisation dawned, I’ve never used a brush not maintained in either mouthwash or 70% etoh :-) ].
It would appear that knowledge of the polluting character of saliva is not known to the Chinese either.
I wanted to lean moore toward the behavioral aspects of this problem, and you might have hit on something there.
My main thought here is that in noting that, so far at least, the virus appears to mainly be infecting Chinese people, and I truly doubt there is any scientific basis for assuming it has been structured to be race selective, I was wondering about the social sphere in which it first appeared.
These are things, along with the huge “animal for food” population there, which it occurs to me have every bit as great a chance of explaining this observation.
It’s something that Xi could do a lot about. I’m sure he could rapidly make the street spitting a social sin, although trying to get smokers to quit would probably be a lot harder.
It’s a problem for the rest of he world only in that it makes for a pool, which could be a source of infection.
But the HIV sequences do indicate a very strong chance that this virus was constructed – if it was deliberately let loose in China, or escaped from a lab there, those social habits are made to measure for high rates of infectivity and fatality!!

There can be little doubt that the virus is worse for people from East Asia as was SARS. It need not be a deliberate thing but the virus uses ACEII receptors the same as SARS. Now I will not link it but i found this in a reputable scientific paper . What I am not sure about is the frequency distribution of these specific receptors (Dave’s link is not nearly sufficient).
I think that the street spitting stuff is frankly rather racist nonsense. The spread of the virus has been at about 5 cases per person based on the Singapore case history and I do not think too many of the senior execs at the Singapore grand Hyatt were spitting on the carpet. Nor the Brit who went to the French Chalet and infected 5 others.
i might add that spitting is now common amongst our white middle class boys who copy cricketers who are forever spitting on the ground. I have seen it to my disgust often by schoolboys. it stayed with me because i recall that the ONLY time my father ever hit one of us kids was for spitting and i recall telling MY kids that they could have any friends over but if I caught them spitting they were leaving.
I have had lots and lots and lots of experience with Chinese boys and never have i seen spitting. Smoking yes and one who expectorated in the bathroom but never spitting.
So get over this racist stuff ppplllleeeeaaaassse.
I will however agree that the number of smokers is high and that will increase the risk for older people.
“It need not be a deliberate thing but the virus uses ACEII receptors the same as SARS.”
This is no use if you dont give the link. Unless I see a genuine, scholarly, paper, with Materials and Methods I can examine, I refuse to accept this as having any validity. So far, it’s just gossip.
ACEII is the receptor for Angiotensin Converting Enzyme, which converts Angiotensin1 into it’s next active form of AngiotensinII as part of the entire Renin-Angiotensin system which controls blood pressure.
There are certain cells which predominantly have receptors for this, as part of the entire system of blood pressure control. I have searched scientific papers to find evidence that variation in the receptor occurs across races – which is what you are suggesting; in fact, that Oriental Males have a different form of receptor not found in any other demographic group. If they have a different form of receptor to everyone else, they must have a specific dimorphism of the enzyme itself, since receptors and enzymes are all highly specific and carry shape recognition in order to function.
No-where, no where at all, can I find ANY evidence for this. If it exists, I’d be happy to know of it.
Moreover, here is a summary of the action of ACEII;
“Flowchart showing the clinical effects of RAAS activity and the sites of action of ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers.
ACEIs–inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzyme are often used to reduce the formation of the more potent angiotensin II. Captopril is an example of an ACE inhibitor. ACE cleaves a number of other peptides, and in this capacity is an important regulator of the kinin–kallikrein system, as such blocking ACE can lead to side effects.
Angiotensin II receptor antagonists, also known as angiotensin receptor blockers, can be used to prevent angiotensin II from acting on its receptors.”
If the CoV-2019 is using ACEII analogues in order to attach to ACEII cells in the lungs, it should be a simple matter to treat this disease by using one of the standard drugs to control idiopathic Hypertension, to block the virus from doing this. Unable to attach to the cells, the immune system should just destroy it.
Nowhere have I read that this is the case!!
However I am extremely offended by the rest of your post.
I have two strong testimonies to the habit of the older Chinese males of street expectoration, one a New Zealander who visited often with his Chinese partner, and the other a Russian lady of Vladivostok, – which is a few hours drive from the border with China – who used to regularly cross the border on cheap shopping expeditions, as did many Vladivostok Russians. Both separately and unprovoked gave me this testimony. I
I am, frankly, furious that you should accuse me of “racist nonsense” when the one thing I have never, ever been is remotely racist.
And yes, cricketers do spit publicly, and many people abhor it. As to the kind of street kids you associated with, I can say nothing. None I knew, or have ever known, would have dreamed of such behaviour, but we all come from different classes of people I guess.
I repeat, you cannot just call a person “racist” – which if you understand what you are saying is a gross insult,- who is using information sincerely given and which would possibly contribute to wider understanding.
Certainly repeating that Chinese men have a race specific genotype making them likely to get or spread a disease based on no evidence what so ever, could be called racist.
Pamela
Sorry if I offended you but i find the “blame the evil “dirty, bat eating Chinese” meme offensive and distracting.
So some comments:
1. Here is the basic link to the ACEII receptor stuff but i think you probably already agree with that
I was able to click on an extract with this google search – ace2 distribution japan europe
the book is Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology Volume 581 – The Nidoviruses – Towards control of Sars and other Nidoviruses – Pearlman and Holmes. p211 has the necessary stuff.
2. Now I KNOW that I very explicitly stated that I was not certain of the distribution of AEC2 receptors. That is something I have not found in simple google searches but as a medico with access to journals and libraries i guess you could easily find out. Fairly obviously however there ARE racial/geographical differences in just about every protein/carbohydrate/enzyme etc produced in our bodies so the idea that there would be differences in the percentage of receptors in race/geography and sex and even age is hardly unexpected.
I would guess that epidemiology study of the SARS outbreak would give a definitive answer, but i do not have access to such data/journals etc.
3. Now as to the more sensitive issue of the similarity between the new virus and SARS here you go. Hope it is reliable enough for you – Lancet is such an alternative source eh what!
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/genomic-characterization-of-2019-nCoV-Lancet-1-29-2020.pdf
4. If your idea about spitting being an issue then i guess you would be predicting uncontrolled outbreaks in Malaysia and Indonesia where spitting betel is a particularly disgusting common habit. BUT NOT in Singapore where i think they lock you up for spitting in lifts (joking – a little – certainly they frown on it big, big time)
5. I guess I deserved a serve but you snobbish comment about “street kids” was a bit silly. I was observing while diving by high school boys walking home. Nice middle class area, very good school, high academic achievement.
6. Fairly obviously as the Singapore data shows (i gather similar stuff is also published in China but I do not speak Chinese) the infectivity of this virus is high – seems to be about 4-5 people infected for each case. we do not need to talk about spitting. I have read that gastro symptoms have caused spread, especially in hospitals where the disease was mistaken for something else initially. If this is the case i worry about India big, big time. Indeed I think I HOPE that there is a racial element to susceptibility and that it does not include the sub continent.
7. There is one thing that i have picked up on recently for which I think the Chinese government should be roundly condemned and that is that there is no free public health system. Many people could not afford hospital and hence the death rate has been high. I read that this HAS changed and the government will now make all treatment for this virus free (presumably that is what the new hospitals will do) and if this is the case then the outcome for china could in the long term be very, very positive. they can obviously build things quickly and quite well. They are well and truly in the developed world there but lack of a public health system puts them in the third world still. High time to rectify this.
i have the same thoughts, posted very informative interview 5 minutes ago, end of the caffee Saker.
The Morning Star
Wake up, my darling,
It’s time to leave;
The dreams of the night
Could not be retrieved.
Anguish has come,
And despair will arrive;
If we stay here,
We cannot survive!
Come, gather your things;
The morning is nigh!
Where once it was filled,
The well is now dry.
There’s toil ahead,
And danger it thrives.
But fear is of death,
And hope is alive!
Down by the shore,
The boatman awaits.
The water is wide;
His skills are first-rate.
In some other land,
We’ll seek our fate;
The way is prepared
So let’s not be late!
How the morning star shines
In the sky so clear;
How my heart aches
For you to be near!
So give your blessings,
And say your goodbyes –
Adventure awaits
your brightening eyes!
Absolutely!
It’s time throw off the mooring lines, and get under way!
Venus beckons, Mars sulks and recedes???

Oh Mars is only receding this year to paw the battle ground and go over old territory, old conflicts to fight again. It is especially strong this year in the world of metaphor.
The final countdown of metaphors.
teranam13
Mars may do a little more than paw the ground and sulk if he is on leave,
It may well be that those on earth who go over old territory and conflicts , who seek war, will be the sulkers and pawer’s of ground old and new…
There is a an Awakening, and Mars will remain powerfully connected to this behind the scenes.
Align with the Awakening and rise up to the Good and be of service to humanity !
Who is it mighty in battle but the Archangel Michael.?
As a late reply to you and Pamela from the last Cafe talks :
Silence Poem
by ioan
Write a story in few words
Sing a song without a sound
Without having instrument,
That’s the poetry about
Silenced by the rule of gold
Which is same for young and old
Muses enter in your world
Bringing peace handling a sword
Are they gentle, are they tough,
What you think they never mind
After entering your room,
They will use what they will find
Can you skip your thoughts while healthy?
No, you can’t, at least for now
They keep coming, poor and wealthy
In your mind, no matter how.
Understanding is a spiritual, not an intellectual process. Silence is it’s great helper.
Silence is Gold
You used to carry a beggar’s bowl,
Living off crumbs, down in a hole.
Looking for something that could never be told;
Words are silver, but silence is gold.
You used to carry a calligrapher’s brush,
Your elegance adorned the palace so lush.
The king would come by with his questions so bold;
Words are silver, but silence is gold.
You used to carry a sword of steel,
A pair of fine greaves, and a great big shield.
Dispatching your enemies if the truth was ever told,
Words are silver, but silence is gold.
You used to carry your heart on your sleeve;
Always crying about something, a lover bereaved!
One day you disappeared while out on a stroll;
Words are silver, but silence is gold.
You used to carry a burden so deep,
Through life after life, through waking and sleep.
A bagful of mysteries that could never be solved;
Words are silver, but silence is gold.
You used to carry a begggar’s bowl,
Wandering about in a blindfold.
Till the day you finally came in from the cold…
Words are silver, but silence is gold!
This one’s worth a final edit. Verses 4 and 5 should be switched.

Words are silver, but silence is gold.
You used to carry a cut so deep,
Through life after life, both awake and asleep.
A mystery that grew but could never be solved;

Thank you Ioan.
Certainly those thoughts come, and often when they will. There’s no denying them, although often they prevent sleep or rest. Peace can only come from expressing them, or from looking at things a different way; from giving the kaleidoscope of mind a twist in order to see the same things in a different pattern.
Still, the patterns that form, the words and images and thoughts that come, do come differently from different conditions of mind. Only in meditation have I found that “Eternal Flame” the Oracle of Delphi spoke of, that energy that pervades everything, that cannot be contained, for it is in all things, and all things are in it; that which I have come to call “the singing and the gold”. And while floating in that wondrous field, felt the sense of overwhelming joy and love too huge for the tiny spot of energy I am to grasp for long – but which has often preceded a sudden and valuable insight.
Certainly, it doesn’t come while just washing dishes and chastising my Samoyed friend for digging yet another hole in the garden :-)
Thank you for your exacting description of your experience with the “Eternal Flame”, Pamela. Remember, our small friends have their own experience of the same, so much so that to them digging holes in your garden is an entirely natural expression of the same.
If anyone will be in Moscow for Victory Day, please note that I will be there and look forward to meeting any Saker readers.
I also plan a visit to Volgograd and Mamayev Kurgan, and to Sevastopol, where I’ll be from about May 17 to 27.
If anyone would like to meet, perhaps they can let the webmaster know. I don’t think we’re supposed to leave contact details in comments.
Webmaster, is there any way that people who frequent the Saker site can contact each other?

Well, that is a good characteristic, it is exactly what is going on. Launched by the IS al Qaeda occupations inside Syria was planned by Pentagon for pres. Obama administration, USA carried out an international aggression on Syria by calling in all their allies in the region and elsewhere (NATO, EU) to support a gathering of syrian elite expats and foreign agents to represent an exile government (Doha Conference, Hillary Clinton), supported by an insurgent army mainly IS and newly formed al Qaeda groups al-Nusra front and FSA mercenaries supported by massive propaganda. Turkey (NATO) was then and is now a main aggressor. Supporting Turkeys own aggression against the kurds , IS attacked kurdish lands in Syria.

I know Wilson Center is CIA source but the document is pretty accurate.
I appreciate your views and the unique perspective from Vietnam that you offer here, Black Sheep.
It is a cautionary tale that nothing is ever so simple, so black or so wonderfully Good and Radiant truth “white”:
Not in China.
Not in Russia.
Not in Israel.
Not in the UK
Not in the USA
Not in Vietnam.
Not even in the consciousness of the individual human being!
Who, in the case of persons belonging to certain “elite” organized forces derive their identity from the power of their group (central bankers and narrative myth makers, at the top) to perpetuate their power, the dominance of their narrative, etc…in the form of both collective and individual ego….proclaiming it to be ….”The Very Best”….obviously! (sarc)
This dynamic can go wrong (more often than not!) or somewhat right (on rare occasions!)……...anywhere!
And for sure, this is both true of your huge neighbor….China ….and Vietnam itself….(in much less degree…in terms of the projection of its power or influence..just as it is true of you, I, or any individual person who rises to any significant power (which is what wealth can be!) or influence…..which is always powerful……as in …The Power of Ideas, or of spirit……….including anti-imperialist spirit….as is discussed by Susan Babbit in the newest Saker article:
/new-memoire-by-margaret-randall-intrepid-anti-imperialist/
Meanwhile, viewing the entire globe at the moment, the overriding idea of this blog, this Vineyard …..is that human goodness and truth depends a great deal on the survival of Russia and the rich contributions of Russian Civilization………..which has been for some centuries THE biggest, toughest and most enduring obstacle to a One World Empire or “Order” proclaimed not by Chinese…but by the Anglo-Zionists. “Anglo” including native english speaking elites in derivative form in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand……but in one way….. or another derived FROM….The British Empire and its Globe Enslaving Octopus Body (corporation)…the British East India Company.
This is what humiliated China for its Century of Humiliation.
This is what its minions in the US Eastern Liberal (Anglophile!!) Establishment tore Vietnam apart.
And as you know, your big neighbor can be frightening to you there in Vietnam, but remember what Fletcher Prouty said about who used Vietnam (as well as Korea) in their global plans of clear evil not just victimizing Vietnam and Korea…………but intending to enslave the entire planet!
Despite your warnings about China, I’d say most people who come here are appreciative of the fact that without the survival of Russia…..NO ONE….anywhere on this planet would have much of a chance of resisting that (central banker’s) Empire…and without the Double Helix of mutual Empire resistance ………….whose partner role could be adequately filled materially by China..(.and IS.filled..of late.)..it would be “Game Over”..some few decades ago.
Can you try to temper your vigilance in regard to your Big Chinese Neighbor……..with that far larger, more dominant and more factually overriding reality???
I hope so!
Your spirit of fierce independence is very admirable, as is the independence the Intrepid Margaret Randall loves in the Spanish Speaking “South”.
But the question I have is whether Vietnam or Cuba………..Or even the entirety of Ibero-America could, ( even if miraculously united!) …ANY TIME SOON….(like today!) be the historically required Double Helix partner and Multi-Polar World Guarantor…..displacing the China that you urge that we keep such a very, very careful eye on???
And we definitely must keep an eye on globalist Empire machinations there!
But my (IMHO) overriding question still remains!
Ummm???
Thank you for your kind word!
I just want to help people understand the true nature of Vietnam-China relationship during the Resistance War Against US.
About China, I am in fact also believe China is an anti-imperialism country but in my personal opinion, I will say that people should not put too much trust and hope into China.
I understand the double helix relationship between Russia and China, and I hope they do well in the future. From my own observation, I think Russia and China still don’t trust each other on something.
Your opinion is help so much.
Best Regards,
Unorthodox Black Sheep VN.
Yes, Eternal Vigilance everywhere! No blind trust…..only Earned Trust…through Constant, Unceasing Verification!
and not just externally!
Internally is even more important!
As (some) Americans who went to sleep for generations, and are just now, in greater numbers (but still small minority!) are discovering in their much belated and Rude Alarmed + Still Incomplete & Partially Deceived “Great Awakening.”
Messy, yes! But you have to start somewhere………………no matter how late.
China has been very quiet; drawn inward for obvious reasons.
What if they are also trying to confirm whether or not the corona virus is biowarfare against them.
Quiet dog bite hard.
Tell those you love that you do. Aim to be present as it unfolds.
What is is right.

China build Huoshenshan Hospital in Wuhan in 10 days is not impressive or surprise thing to me. China have done very good jobs to fight the Coronavirus, of course. The reason why the fast speed does not impress or be surprise me because:
1. Huoshenshan Hospital is Fabricated Hospital. Other Western countries can do the same thing like what China have done if they really want to do (no corruption, of course). Let watch some videos on building prefab structures:

2. According to the news:
Hero Chinese whistle-blower doctor who was punished for sounding the alarm over coronavirus DIES from it (I don’t think China Government kill Li Wenliang, of course):
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7974593/Coronavirus-whistle-blower-dies-deadly-disease-catching-patient.html
China had hide the information about the Coronavirus since the December 30th, 2019. That mean they already finished many bureaucracy processes and prepared money to build Huoshenshan. So this is reason why they build the hospital so quickly.
In my country Vietnam, many structure was build slowly and some of them are not finished in 10 years because the builder does not have money. When the money come, workers build the structures so quickly.
In conclusion, building Huoshenshan Hospital is just another ‘act big talk big’ to ‘save the face’, advertise how great China is to other country, corrupted or not corrupted. The ‘act big talk big’ make people, especially the pro-China ones, feel that they are very small to China, and they will believe China is some kind of God or Deity. In fact, if Western and US are not corrupted, they can build the prefabricated hospital like what China do with same speed and time to fight the virus like that.
Update information about China ‘act big talk big’
I usually avoid using MSM news like CNN, Fox, BBC, etc. but this CNN new about Wuhan hospital just confirm what I said about China ‘act big talk big’ and it is pretty reasonable to me:

The Corona Virus – we’re not seeing a clear inflection point I don’t think, but there is a clear change in trend if you plot logarithmically. Take a look at these two curves and click on the linear or logarithmic scales to see the difference.

Anyway, China is going back to work.
“We must take action immediately to resume operations to hold firm our standing in the global supply chain,” Wang Wen, executive dean of the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China (RDCY), told the Global Times on Friday. “We must tackle both issues simultaneously and firmly. We cannot just focus on the battle [against the epidemic] and on security and give up production.”
On Friday, officials were moving toward that direction. Following the press briefing by central government officials on Friday morning, a rising number of provinces from East China’s Fujian to South China’s Guangdong to Southwest China’s Sichuan have also followed suit in announcing their own measures to help businesses get back on their feet.”

Two new things that I see out in the internet wilds .. first is a new western story that the province of Wuhan was on the verge of an anti-communist social action just the same as in Hong Kong. This of course is garbage.
The second one comes from Dmitry Orlov, who noted again that whether the Corona Virus was designed or released as a bioweapon or not, the Chinese ptb treated it like a bioweapon. Dmitry muses that they may have taken this opportunity to actually strengthen themselves against this type of warfare. Interesting no?
I’ll take the information that was gathered in the previous Cafe and, over the next few days, see if I can roll it together as a Cafe Brain Trust Sitrep. :-)
Emperor Xi is still missing:
The government has remained tight-lipped about his situation. For the third day in a row, the foreign ministry batted away repeated questions at its daily press conference. A spokesman merely said: “I have no information.”
First, no reliable link .. just a statement that comes from many such statements flying around the msm. Just do a search and you will soon see who takes this statement to press. CNN, the Guardian and so on. They do this regularly. Here is one where he was missing in action for a whole two weeks .. and this was in 2012. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/mystery-of-xi-jinpings-two-weeks-in-hiding-8277816.html

“Few details about the American, who died on Thursday, were immediately available. According to the United States Embassy in Beijing, the person was 60 years old and died at Jinyintan Hospital in Wuhan, the inland metropolis at the center of the epidemic. Two people familiar with the matter said the person was a woman and had underlying health conditions.”

Full marks to worldometre.
I also use the John Hopkins for detail but it is no where near as good except for publishing deaths and recovery by province.
Yes the data is showing a leveling which may mean the worst is over for China. it back flipped a little yesterday but not as much as it seems because a huge whack of the new cases were outside China – 64 on the cruise ship plus Singapore getting its act together bid time so cases have jumped up sharply.
I would expect the number of cases to increase in China sharply over the next week, because of their detection and isolation strategies ie more cases being found including mild ones – plus with the new hospitals more people will seek treatment.
I would expect deaths in China to continue to increase exponentially for at least a fortnight since it seems that the really nasty effect of this virus takes a week or more to get going.ghastly!!!!!
Like others have noted I am concerned at the limited number of cases in Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. Hard to believe given the Singapore experience.
The information from Singapore and now France is showing a really scary infection pattern. What we KNOW about cluster 2 is that several Chinese from Wuhan met in the Grand Hyatt. There were more than 100 other attended. Two Chinese went home and were positive, as were two Koreans, one Malaysian and one British guy. Of the 15 Singapore residents 3 or 4 are positive – I would have to check the info but Singapore published detailed case reports of their current 38 patients. – Brilliant. Of the other 80 or so who attended we know nothing. so two Chinese and at least. Also a taxi driver and hire care driver. So it looks as if two Chinese resulted in a minimum of nine extra cases and probably more.
Then we KNOW that the British case went on to infect at least 5 others in a Chalet in France – all British but listed in the french statistics. we are obviously talking wealthy Europhile types here – not bat soup eaters. Again it looks as if the infection rate is about 1 case to five others. (of course some of the five might be tertiary infections – ie the Brit from Singapore infected someone who went on the infect others – eg the 9 year old child.
The other Singapore cluster seems to involve a Chinese tour group who seem to have passed the virus to at least three others and now at least three tertiary cases have been found. – eg the Filipino maid of one of the people infected.
Then there is the cruise ship – ONE guy got off and a week later 64 sick people. Wow!!!!!!

Now that the syrian’s own army has struggled for years to defend itself against foreign led and designed aggression and occupational forces and to retake control over its territory, it is worth thinking about what really happened and continues to happen. As soon as the syrian army liberated some area of their country, fighters
were sent in from a foreign country and established control again as soon as the bulk of the syrian army left.
Therefore it requires almost two seperate armies to regain control, one army to fight against the established occupants, another army to hold the territory.
It is well known who established this attack on Syria in the shadow of the wider “arab spring” they also organised and carried out, fuelling and hijacking peaceful events and demonstrations being the most common method. It was a orchestrated revolt against the countries of the Middle East in order to gain full control over their governments, thereby having the authority to control their resources, local and international politics, trade, communication and transport and to ultimately control the people . To call this empire a country is somewhat degree misleading, as it is not a country, but the policies are organised and carried out mostly by the USA the selfestablished leader of the empire, then Britain, the commonwealth, and EU. In other words, they can activate an agression towards Syria from a majority of countries especially since this empire already controls many of the countries in the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Bahrain whereas Israel is benefitting and expanding its power greatly on the expense of Syria’s loss of power. Their near objective militarily was to extract Golan Heights from Syria by occupation within Syria, by establishing a political regime that would separate Golan from Syria legally, achieved by an international settlement the new government would be installed by. Turkey would seek to gain further seperation of Syria in Rojava and Idlib.
Historically Hatay province was divided from Syria in the late 1930s by an agreement of similar international agreements with France (using the occupation of the French Mandate) where they used a fake referendum of turkmen residing in Turkey deciding to join Turkey by having a majority over Hatay citizens. The referendum was easy to arrange for Turkey. Turkey has already planned a very cunning plan for taking more of Syria via similar international settlements who would be corrupt.
It is worth looking at some historic events in the Syrian war on how USA wanted the Jihadi groups to be part of the new syrian government.
In october 2012 Hillary Clinton U.S. secretary of state called for the military leaders of their occupational forces to be part of the governmet of Syria they recognize and has gained international recognizion.
“There has to be a representation of those who are in the front lines fighting and dying today to obtain their freedom.” In effect USA planned to install a government with representatives of ISIL and al Qaeda in Syria.
By then Syria had become assisted by Russia and were successfully fighting the occupational forces. ISIL had become a government in itself in its occupied territories, and so was al Qaeda / FSA occupational forces suppressing the population. Still John Kerry supported them and not the people and still supported ISIL / al Qaeda forces which was the true nature of the forces that Sec of State (until Feb 1, 2013) Hillary Clinton wanted in the government.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-syria-usa-idUSBRE89U1AY20121031
“The meeting next week in Qatar’s capital Doha represents a chance to forge a new leadership, Clinton said, adding the United States had helped to “smuggle out” representatives of internal Syrian opposition groups to a meeting in New York last month to argue their case for inclusion.
“We have recommended names and organizations that we believe should be included in any leadership structure,” she told a news conference. ”
Sen. John McCain (R) in charge of NED, a political CIA org, was on the same team in that capacity travelled to Syria to meet with those military commanders which included Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (alias) their secret leader of ISIL, and others from al-Qaeda affiiation.
John McCain admitted he is regular contact with Islamic State
https://www.voltairenet.org/article178722.html
https://www.voltairenet.org/spip.php?page=recherche&lang=en&recherche=John+McCain&x=10&y=8
So why and who did John McCain meet with unless someone he trusted completely that already was involved
with the planned Syrian government and fighting actively for this in Syria were of course those that had visited New York to speak with the syrian governemtn in exile. Remember what Clinton said, adding the United States had helped to “smuggle out” representatives of internal Syrian opposition groups to a meeting in New York last month ? So who else could it be , these people had evidently established ties with the U.S. government that John McCain trusted.
Is this why we don’t hear anything about the syrian government in exile any more? Why John McCain is dead? And Hillary Clinton politically dead? I think that is a large part of the reason.
John Kerry U.S. secretary of state on Sept. 22, 2016 held talks with the syrian opposition at a meeting at the UN.

“They (all groups fighting on the side of Assad) are targeted by the opposition (military forces) which we are arming – and training.”.
John Kerry.U.S Secretary of State (2013) meeting in New York (UN) with the Syrian opposition “government in exile group Syria” .
23:50 Social Media Activist: “this revolution is just a romantic dream, we are not fighting ISIL hard, I don’t think we are arming the syrian people, we have ISIL who is controlling everything now.”
The response from U.S. delegation and John Kerry quickly derailed the idea of arming the people, that there was any reason to fight ISIL (their groups). Continuing to bash Russia for this John Kerry continued. “The reason Russia came in was because ISIL was becoming stronger and threatening to go to Damascus, because they did not want a daesh (ISIL) government. And supported Assad. ” Continuing to establish the reason for using ISIL, John Kerry continues:
“The congress will not authorize the use of force (US military forces) So we are trying to help the best way we can.” end of quotes.
This is the aftermath of the Obama Clinton failed plans. Still hard evidence for support of al Qaeda groups and ISIL. From Wikipedia: ” In late June 2014, the group renamed itself ad-Dawlah al-Islāmiyah (lit. Islamic State or IS), declaring itself a worldwide caliphate.[99] ”
Today Turkey is supporting the Jihadi forces of Syria directly by a military internvention in the North of Syria (Kurdish territories, Rojava), Aleppo and Idlib provinces.
Syrian Army is retaking control of their territory are being threatened by Turkey and turkish military forces on the ground in Syria.
https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/turkey-vows-to-respond-with-force-after-syrian-army-captures-saraqib/
All this evil emerged from the economic greed of a few people on the top of a pyramid discussions in the elite clubs maybe the committee of 300 including royalities and exported to the political branch of organisations and ended up in the cabinet of pres. Obama U.S.A. All this evil for almost nothing, some tea conversations, a few of the nobilty, the royal elties, a few peoples greed.
Today Turkey is supporting the Jihadi forces of Syria directly by a military internvention in the North of Syria (Kurdish territories, Rojava), Aleppo and Idlib provinces.
Note.
The strategy of occupation consist of using mercenary jihadi forces supplied via Turkey (also Iraq, and via Jordan but these routes have been suppressed), and to have these groups and military material enter Syria to infiltrate any area of Syria in order to resupply and to occupy any part that was liberated by the syrian arab army. Turkey made sure the supply routes has been kept open via Idlib province. The turkish military intervention was a direct support of Jihadi forces controlling Idlib Provice to the turkish border.
If the turkish army operates inside Syria, the war will therefore be kept going.
Correction to paragraph (added cut and move from earlier Clinton paragraph) should read:

‘End that son of a b*tch’: Duterte confirms US-Philippines military collaboration agreement is toast
https://www.rt.com/news/480372-duterte-us-military-terminated/
““The president said he is terminating the VFA,” Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana told ABS-CBN News on Friday. “I asked for clarification and he said he is not changing his decision.” The agreement provides legal immunity for US soldiers conducting military exercises in the Philippines.
Enraged by the US decision to cancel the visa of former police chief and Senator Roland dela Rosa last month, Duterte had given Washington a month to fix its ‘mistake,’ refusing to back down even as other members of his government urged him to reconsider.
“I’m warning you… if you won’t do the correction on this, I will terminate the… Visiting Forces Agreement,” Duterte said last month, daring the US to call his bluff.
I’ll end that son of a b*tch.
The hypocrisy inherent in drone-happy Washington once again criticizing Duterte’s government for extrajudicial killings – as the State Department did in a 2018 Report on Human Rights Practices – could have pushed Duterte to make the move against his advisors’ counsel. He reacted in a similarly intractable manner when threatened with a ban on entry into the US for Philippine senators involved in the detention of an opposition lawmaker opposed to his drug war.
Duterte has also expressed interest in moving away from dependence on the US toward alliance with rising superpowers, accusing Washington of “living off the fat of our land.”
The likud run israeloamerican colonial regime in dc continues to step on its own toes with its adolescent arrogance.
Duterte is the China puppet right now.

In my own personal opinion, Duterte is a Traitor.
You can walk anywhere in Metro Manila and no one will grab your phone or anything else from your hand. Never happened before Rodrigo. Duterte is cart blanche cleaning up and out the CIA TriAd drug running operations transiting through the islands that use AlCiAda as cover. Not my personal opinion, but what I hear from Filipinos on a daily basis. The only people that hate him are the ones having thier drug money supply cut off. He is working for his people and his country, you dance with everyone…………just like President Putin and his ‘partners.’

So, when a good man comes along with wisdom and knowhow, he is to be ousted and the devil himself will replace him. Not sure about the storyline, but the actors have done a great job. Lots of laughs … like repairing the “English spring” with saliva … the writer has been smoking something for effect for sure. Church politics was interesting … like a forest is best cut up and what a great fish catch that was, and so tasty … plus gems like, ” surely stealing cannot be a sin in Russia ! ”
A general overview with explanation might make better sense of this comedy for me.
… watch the confession from 16 minutes to around 20 minutes for what I consider the most moving and dramatic part of this movie ;-) Great acting with expression.

Vot Tak has the Duterte statement to drop the agreement with the US. I am not sure if this is their whole agreement or not (and then again that Duterte fellow is a potty mouth but sometimes very funny guy).
Really, my thinking goes to ‘inflection points’. So, we can count on the Philippines (fwiw) as more or less part of the resistance.
In the last cafe, I talked about Trump’s war talk, and his threatening of other countries. So, in Venezuela, the local airline has just been sanctioned. They are not able to fly to other Latin American countries, or even in this sanctioned position do flights between Venezuelan cities and towns. This is the kind of stuff that has to stop in our world. The US (and it is the US with some vassals) have now again put the screws on Venezuela. If you think it is fair and right, you probably also think it is all OK, as long as it is not in your backyard.
Keep all that in mind, because now we go and visit some countries with Mr Lavrov in Latin America where we find Russia’s response to Mr Trumps bombast about other countries in his SOTU speech.
Lavrov is still busy with or has just completed a trip to three Latin American countries (depending if you count Mexico as LatAm which I do). Now I don’t know if you know, but in the latest USMC trade agreement, Mexico is prohibited to do certain kinds of trade with Russia or other countries. So, I am not surprised that Mr Lavrov took clear aim at this, announcing that “Russia and Mexico may expand cooperation in the military-technical sphere.
And then Mexico’s spokesperson and Mr Lavrov noted that they feel the same about Venezuela. Mr Lavrov used strong words .. He called the neo-colonial Monroe Doctrine offensive. This is the direct response to Mr Trump’s belligerent State of the Nation speech.
Here is the Tass piece: https://tass.com/politics/1117501
So, Lavrov announced military/technical work between Russia and Mexico. (I think the US is fainting – right in their backyard just when Mr Trump declared this his hemisphere.)
His response to Mr Trump’s speech detailing taking aim at other countries .. well, I would call it strong.
He announced that Russia position and Mexico’s position on Venezuela is the same.
And then in Venezuela, he announced that Venezuela is a partner of Russia and they deem the attempts to interfere in Venezuela unacceptable.
Then he announced that the movement to defend the United Nations Charter as it is written, is a very pressing task.
In other words, translating the diplomatic words, we will stop you at the UN, we will make deals with what you consider your vassals and Latin America does not belong to you.
https://tass.com/politics/1117941
We have just seen one of those ‘inflection points’, with Russia standing up for liberation in LatAm, non-interference and calling the old Monroe doctrine offensive. In a way, Mr Lavrov has physically intervened (imagine a military technical agreement with Mexico – this is the type of stuff that the US wants to sell, like helicopters and close inshore boats and military grade equipment of various kinds) and is telling the United States and vassals that their interference is not longer going to be tolerated.
This is all good and one can marvel at those Russkies, but we are getting closer to more war, or a war or a continuance of little wars.
For the US, it is now a race to the election or an economic disaster.
Like the clever people say, in circumstances such as these, they always take us to war.
With the arming of US submarines with supposedly low yield nuclear missiles,
the statement from Trump that the US military needs landmines, long prohibited and treatied,
the Deal of the Century a dud,
Iraq’s new prime minister not a vassal and saying the US must leave,
the progress in Syria as we speak,
the resistance growing in Bolivia….
even old BoJo is willing to work with the Chinese on 5G (this is not talk about all the health concerns but more geo-politically). The gossip goes that Trump was purple with indignation and let fly with cussing when he spoke to BoJo.

The resistance is growing, and the inflection points are becoming more.
My expectation is that we have to be aware and look out for these inflection points. It remains to be seen if the Corona Virus is going to count as a geopolitical inflection point, or not.
Agree with comments pertaining to trump, amarynth.
One aspect of this post impeachment farce and the mueller farce, now trump’s gloat is neuseating but what I fear now is that he believes he has a mandate. When looking at the putrid cesspool that is the dimo party, he well may have what he believes is a mandate.
mandates in recent us history have been disasters of large scale
johnson, 1964, vietnam disaster big time;
nixon, the trick, 1968-1974, vietnam continuation, some 25k more american kia, thousands if not millions of civilians when he and the odious kissinger pushed for “peace with honor” when the war could have been stopped in 1968.
trump is more dangerous now exponetially than before.
I guess that all depends on which side of the trump fence you are on, the wrong side (of nature), yes I agree.
State of the USA
There are weeds that choke
Choke up garden’s so fair
Some are gardener’s friend
Other’s a recurring menace
Trolls disguised as good guys
Smirking behind a thorn bush
Roots that grow through others
Not strong enough to be alone
Evasive and so very pervasive
See them here see them there
Parasitical seeders everywhere
Poisonous so best not to touch
T77
Trump doesn’t make those decisions, his likud oriented owners do. His job is to sell the fecal matter. The impeachment was psywar, the trump quisling’s current adolescent nonsense is part of it.
Yes, it is the assumed (or perhaps real) mandate thing that is concerning and it is right through the administration.
This looks like all out McCathyism from Pompeo. This is Fox, and apologies for that, but this is where the speech is … Pompeo warns governors of Chinese infiltration into US: ‘It’s happening in your state’
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pompeo-warns-governors-of-china-infiltration
Its worth while reading that (even on Fox) because when you get to the point where Pompeo states that China has targeted K-12 schools around the world, well, my head tends to want to explode. I sure don’t see Chinese lurking around the K-12 schools where I live.
He talks about various Chinese friendship initiatives and says the US may not establish those in China, and so there is no reciprocity. I think of NED and USAid and such programs that are not there for friendship.
When he says that the Chinese Ambassador writes directly to governments of states, I think, but what does your Ambassador in Germany do? He writes directly to German business, and tells them they will be sanctioned if they do this or that. Even the Germans have had it with that Ambassador.
So, what it looks like to me, is as if the US Americans are being groomed to accept more war – the grooming of a population on the basis of exceptionalism. I keep hoping I am wrong and it is just election shenanigans. The Venezuelans are saying that the Guidò stunt at the SOTU was simply to get the Venezuelan vote in the US. I think it is more than that. The sanctioning of its airline is brutal – that means that a Venezuelan aircraft flying to .. say Russia, or another Latin American country, cannot land anywhere that uses the Dollar, to refuel and continue on their journey and probably there is all kinds of airspace difficulties. They also cannot fly to tell their story to the UN. https://www.telesurenglish.net/news/Venezuela-to-Defend-Conviasa-Airlines-From-US-Ilegal-Sanctions-20200208-0005.html
And the visa story is getting big .. that the US refuses visas to people traveling to the UN to join their working groups and do their work. If you like the UN or not, still it is the only international body to do international type work.
Yes, we are being prepped: Netanyahu is fixing to annex the West Bank and present it to the world as a fait accompli.
Created chaos is a deep state control technique as is encouraging everyone to label each other as “the enemy” or a “troll”.
I just voted by mail as non-party in the Democratic Presidential Primary in California–I chose Bernie because I think he is the best one to lead a discussion of real issues which the population needs and also as a rebuke to the Den party big wigs because if he wins by a big enough margin it will be harder for them to slip in that deep state mole Butti-who?.
.
I wouldn’t get your panties in a wad over there, Butti is slick talker where Bernie is the big established voice.
And if there were going to be a battle of the ages, this primary season should split the camps into their divides. My guess is the youth take to polls and out muscle and wear down the elderly.
So take the loss (if there is a loss) with pride and not prejudice, or your rising thermometer might bust its top and you’ll show your true cards.

The Democrat Party.
Changing the language.
Changing the rules.
Lies becomes identifications of statements that do not conform to the new rules, or the new language.
Identifying lies.
Democratic socialism = nazism (national socialism).
Example:
3 x 3 x 3 = 27 Democrats: “That is a lie”.
3 x 3 x 3 = 9 Democrats.
Extreme example for illustration only, it is not done that obviously false. Although it is used behind the scenes,
and there could be an example in Iowa elections where computer programs are use to count votes, an example of designing electronic systems in elections in order to assure that the “right candidates” are assigned as the leader . Electronic voting machines are in wide use in USA, they are now seemingly migrating to smartphones (that are easily cloned or manipulated by state actors or corporations or even other people). Elections are migrating into a controllable outcome (some electronic voting machines were run by corporations as well). From paperslips to 0 or 1 means easy manipulations , a manipulations here as well is their new god , the changing of the rules, the changing of the language, the identification of the lies, in short nazism and particular socialism is in reality an identification of totalitarianism.
Right extremism = fascism , nazism implemented by a state by means of force (police, military or legislation (voluntary fascism, see social democracy (nordic), Fabian Society (English, Coefficients Club (Rothschild Society), London Shool of Economics (Rothschild Society), Social Democracy (Nordic Social Economy based socialism, pure ideologically based nazism NSDAP program).
As in historical national socialism and modern social democracy and certainly has a historic tie to the democratic socialism that emerged from the Fabian Society ideology (killing of the useless, the pure economic model of society)(London School of Economics was created for education of future leaders was created by Fabian Society. Method of government consist of educating leaders and then have people elect them.
(LSE, PPE, Rhodes Scholar, John F. Kennedy School of Politics Harvard, Gates Cambridge https://www.gatescambridge.org/ are very valid examples of education of leaders, and similar education are established as part of the British Commonwealth, US programmes across Africa, Socialist countries have their own system, and EU countries are Rothschild run as solid as Britain especially France and Germany have their own systems, for example Ursula von der Leyen President (EU commision) was a LSE graduate, Angela Merkel a former communist, Emmanuel Macron a Rothschild banker (Bilderberg Associate).
References to historical nazism, anti-semitism, one can identify the same totalitarian factors identifying democratic socialism, social democracy, The Fabian Society, and the Democrat Party and ideological basis in America. America already has a corporate fascism developed from capitalism that need to be dealt with but it has very few similarities with nazism (national socialism that was used to create the third reich fascism the merging of the national socialism with the totalitarian power of the state and the use of force). So the
emerging problem of national socialism is far worse make no mistake about it.
Historical nazism the use of totalitarian power and the changes in language and identification of lies see:

Hannah Arendt, a critical interview “In Origins, Arendt had underscored the importance of ideology to the creation of the Nazi state. Embedded in the elaborate bureaucracy and obfuscating language and legal rules of the Nazi government, ideology served to inure people.” https://www.neh.gov/humanities/2014/marchapril/feature/the-trial-hannah-arendt Yet the real trouble, she wrote, wasn’t Eichmann; it was how many others were like him—terrifyingly normal, banal perpetrators of evil acts. What had happened, Arendt wondered, to make so many people thoughtless?

Syrian Arab Army will have to take control over their Idlib airbase in Taftanaz that was occupied by HTS (Jabhat al-Nusra) (Ahrar al-Sham) other US NATO Jihadis in 2013, The Jihadi forces and turkish military (NATO) has recently reinforced the base by an invasion force of tanks, armoured vehicles. What is clear is that NATO or Turkey or USA has no right to be in Syria according to international law and that they are indeed creating and supproting terrorism against the country, and has to leave this military installation.

Another large convoy of Turkish tanks, armoured vehicles and transport vehicles carrying arms and ammunition invaded neighbouring Syria Idlib province today protecting their US NATO Jihadi forces of Jabhat al-Nusra (HTS), FSA groups supported by Turkey and USA , to provide safehaven for the terrorists, so that these US proxy forces can move freely, and attack the Syrian Arab Army the government of Syria. NATO and Turkey has more recently been prevented from providing air cover, russian support of Syria establised air defenses S-300 and russian own operated S-400, and russian fighter jets . (al Qaeda Airforce is a term that has been widely used by critics in the west for US and NATO airpower in Syria, airpower was used to destroy Syria completely including its infrastructure and it was partly true they provided air support for al Qaeda and ISIL (FSA), later officially excluding ISIL which created a rift in the coalision officially, while still serving the purpose of USA ref John Kerry 2016.

The zionazi repression corps strike again:
Roger Waters ads banned by Major League Baseball after outcry from Jewish group
https://www.rt.com/news/480384-roger-waters-mlb-bds-israel/
“In January, Jewish advocacy organization B’nai B’rith International began a campaign to protest ads for Waters’ new tour, ‘This is Not a Drill’, which appeared on MLB platforms. The group claimed that the musician is an “avowed anti-Semite” whose views on Israel “far exceed the boundaries of civil discourse.”
In response, the League reached out the organization to assure them that “there are no plans to schedule more ads.”
I’ve long thought the majors were run by a bunch of craven queens. This confirms it.
The b’nai b’rith zionazis are a classic example of a hate group. They promote supremacy (Jewish), they slander and threaten. As they are also a front for israeli interests, their staff and membership should be considered agents of a hostile foreign power during time of war and investigated/prosecuted accordingly.
You don’t want to hear it…. I’m fairly sure….but the fact of the matter is that what drives Trump is the same thing that drives his domestic political enemies…. or Erdogan…or almost anyone else: Survival!
That is, winning the mud wrestling political match ……within the USA. in Trump’s case…of immediate survival priorities.
Everything else, at the moment, is much, much less determinant of any political player’s survival, including Trump’s………….. than THAT.
The losers can literally lose their lives and/or their fortunes, whether ill-gotten OR earned…..Including the Donald.
Much of the noise American politicians and media stir up outside of the United States ….or inside of the United States regarding places far away from here (China/Pompeo Ukraine …more interestingly! is distraction, deception, and YES, “optics” unfortunately…..campaigning for votes from an ignorant (but learning fast!) electorate and so forth……and counts for far, far less in assessing the potentialities of more positive leadership anywhere on the US political landscape than the realities underneath all of that confused mess of mangled and logically inconsistent narratives.
The reasons that amarynth and vot tak and others are apparently entirely closed to examining and testing this hypothesis is that what I would argue is priority # 1….that is war avoidance between the major powers USA-China-Russia is the prize to be won or lost in the current strategic situation…….. and they discount 100% the idea that that might even conceivably be Trump’s goal.
Against considerable and significant evidence to the contrary:
They forget that Trump was elected on the promise of ending the stupid wars…and that forgetting that 2016 campaign promise and starting another kinetic, escalating war .ANYWHERE…would fall straight into Sir Richard Dearlove’s MI-6 “Steele Trap” …pretty successfully side stepped since last Wednesday’s acquittal by the US Senate for more than 3 years.
But preserving British Empire Geopolitical Divide and Conquer axioms as the absolute prerequisite for survival of the Empire Model. And it is not just a matter of life and death priority for the Empire Minions…but also for quite a few people (especially from British Commonwealth countries……(have you noticed??) styling themselves as “free” of such imperial tendencies. U.S??? Maybe!
But British??? You’re showing me the opposite with the Orange Man Bad to the exclusion of more certain realities, focus and default setting prejudice.
Whether that’s conscious or unconscious…is another matter….so I extend the benefit of the doubt.
Meanwhile, THE REAL battle of ideas…….giving the only visible chance for Great Power war avoidance………has been an internal political struggle vastly outweighing any considerations of “enemies” real or imagined, by Americans. at least, overseas.
Our own corruption and stupidity is a greater threat than anything else, “over there”.
Russia is a Fake News MSM created Fake Enemy…..not Trump’s enemy…NOT an enemy to the bulk of his voters…..but his opponents’ actual survival depends on making that fact nearly impossible for him to clarify…or even for his supporters to openly proclaim………….YET.
Can you see that much of his…and his supporters’ awkward dilemma??
Maybe momentarily..for a second or two, mind you…….LOL…..but many here openly admit that they don’t really care……..about either pro or anti Trump sides in what is (outside of the Civil War, perhaps) THE biggest and fiercest and most “off the charts”, in terms of the hysteria and cognitive dissonance….and mass media being held in ONCE IN A LIFETIME levels of contempt and disgust by the Deplorables….and the other diametrically oppposite side………………… and y’all just want to see the Empire and its Dumb Brawn Bully Uncle Sam (on a British Geopolitical Leash for a solid century and a quarter, mind you!) get its just desserts, whatever that takes!
So WHO CARES about the nuances, right???
People who live in the US and who want international cooperation for peace and development, worldwide ………..as the only realistic pathway to durable survival….that’s who!
I got it: That’s not YOU! Even some of you who live here.
Fine, as long as you admit it!
However, if you’re writing off that possibility ..giving it ZERO chance because of yours TDS…….while lusting for the US to remain confused . hysterically divided and tricked into war by Soros and the Rothschilds………… so it can be humiliated, for your pleasure, THEN by all means don’t wait for Giulani’s Ukraine investigations’ documented evidence….showing the Obama administrations 2014 Maidan Coup as a way to trap humanity into “An Illegal War on Russia” as Beck’s latest Ukraine Report: The Final Piece…. lays out………… a war designed by psychopaths ….and only secondarily as a money laundering corruption bonanza….going way, way beyond the Biden’s to all the rest of Soros’ minions
But please try to understand the survival instincts of those of us that are much, much more patient than that, and set our priorities among all these confused, deceptive moving parts….differently…… for the sake of a more reasonable outcome, than someone else’s successful indulging in schadenfreude:
First and foremost Survival….which any dummy that isn’t blackmailed (that would be this president, mind you!) fully realizes is not in the cards…if things get too out of hand between USA, Russia, and China.
So let’s wind the clock back a little and ALSO………..hang on just a little bit longer to hear, for example….. from Julian Assange…perhaps very soon.
But first, back to the beginning of all of his troubles…just days before the Empire decided to make him and Russia and Trump….. the Fall Guys, The Necessary Expendables:
“Revelations like THIS, ought to interest you!”, says Quite Frankly
https://youtu.be/9oUpkg4W5F4?t=4620 Ellen Rattner talks about interviewing Julian Assange November 5, 2016….3 days before the election……
And it’s one big “Ho-hum”..at the time…….that would have been impossible….without turning into total hysteria just a few days later after Empire Propaganda Exploded “RUSSIAGATE” and unleashed it onto the world a few days AFTER the election.
Frank: “The guy next to her… is texting…at the time …it (her claim of an interview with Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, Nov 5, 2016, where Assange says his source was not Russia….) was just “interesting”…but anti-climactic.”
Next…the Seth Rich murder and his parents’ caving to Cold War Pressures….even in regard to the death of their own son!
Go along to get along, you see!
But wait. There’s more! Frank is leading up to what I agree is primary, is determinant here: WAR or Peace….as the lead in to the second part of that episode’s title…………..”…….Beck Solves Ukraine”.
“but there’s something about this last piece….that unsettles me…” says Frank.
And I had the same problem with it:
https://youtu.be/9oUpkg4W5F4?t=5282
regarding Glenn Beck Presents Ukraine: The Final Piece
https://youtu.be/dCSwqca8KXU
Some callers have a nuanced view of it (a continued element of Beck’s ambiguity in regard to Russia, that sticks out…incongruously……..STILL!) that is not entirely unplausible. I’m sick of the optics as well
Meanwhile, tomorrow let’s use Polly’s Phobia….the Blockchain and amarynth’s (and my own!) view that Polly is gripped by understandable but very oversimplified fear of the unknown….as a simpler example of rigorously reasonably sorting out….. what is to me, a much simpler puzzle…that still seems to overwhelm Polly ….and 99.99 % of all the rest of you, as well.
But pay attention Black Sheep: This involves Vietnam (and everywhere where else..in terms of method of analysis) specifically, in terms of Telecomm experts from Sweden, 30+ year veteran engineer employees of Errickson and other telecommunications companies……….with experience in many parts of the world.
This is a far simpler problem amarynth and I just might solve!
Though I have no illusions that the solution will come fast….or easily…..I know the benefits can be truly “asymmetrical” !
So, it’s worth it.
Patience!
Bro,
georgewebbyoutube is ahead of and over the horizon from Glenn Beck. What Glenn did is timely and much more is coming. Webb has 3 years minimum and 4500 videos documenting who the players are and their actions.
DJT has many cards to play but only what and when he needs to. The opposition does want big war. Many on this site don’t see what we see. I really don’t care. Thanks for your post.

Ok, re the paper you sent me a link to, in the summary, the conclusions that matter say :
Our phylogenetic analysis of 2019-nCoV, sequenced from
nine patients’ samples, showed that the virus belongs to
the subgenus Sarbecovirus. 2019-nCoV was more similar
to two bat-derived coronavirus strains, (….) than to known human-infecting
coronaviruses, including the virus that caused the SARS
outbreak of 2003.
Also regarding the infection transmission in the first state they note: However,one patient had never visited the market, although he had stayed in a hotel near the market before the onset of their illness. This finding suggests either possible droplet transmission or that the patient was infected by a currently unknown source. Evidence of clusters of infected family members and medical workers has now confirmed the presence of human-to-human transmission.
The first was reported in the paper from the Indian University, which stated that Chinese studies had found that the CoV-2019 Coronavirus was comparable to all other Corona viruses from China and other countries, with a degrees of variation in the ends of a spike protein which made it similar to the same protein in SarsCoronavirus, but that overall, the comparison is much closer to other non SARS like Coronaviri than to any other SARS or human infecting Coronavirus. Thus the statements that this is like the SARS is not born out.
Secondly, the transmission from human to human including one who had never been near the then presumed outbreak point is thought to have been caused by “droplet transmission”. Do you know what those droplets are?? They are tiny droplets found expelled from humans via sneezing, coughing and expectorating!!
Finally, the comment that Notably, the external subdomain of the 2019-nCoV
receptor-binding domain was more similar to that of SARS-CoV. This result suggests that 2019-nCoV might
also use angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as a cell receptor. However, we also observed that several key residues responsible for the binding of the SARS-CoV receptor-binding domain to the ACE2 receptor were
variable in the 2019-nCoV receptor-binding domain
This tells us that although there is a similarity to SARS-CoV in the receptor domain binding, which indicated that CoV-2019 MIGHT also use the ACEII receptor, they note that several key domains of the ACEII are variable, i.e. different, which would argue against this.
As I am still sure, there is no “engineered” part of this virus yet discovered that definitely uses the ACEII receptor site, nor that there is any difference in this particular genotype between that of the Oriental male and anyone else.
Thus that there is so far a concentration of infections among Oriental males has a cause that must be looked for elsewhere, and possibly in social structure and behaviours.
We do not know yet how many of those who succumbed were smokers, nor if there was any other predisposition. The friend who travelled extensively to China tells me he was in Beijing, that the parents of his partner – who had been very high level and well paid technocrats – informed him that in recent years the Chinese Government has paid a lot of money to country farmers to buy their farms. These people have taken up residence in the city, where their more basic countrified behaviours have been noted and rejected.
I pass this on merely for what it is worth!!!
I would add, I am aware that there are other Oriental nations who expectorate a great deal, as many hold the old view of many older Chinese that it is essential for good health to eject anything “bad” from the body. However, they are not so far experiencing the same degree of infection as is China. However, given that China was the focal point of the outbreak and has taken the brunt of the most infectious primary particles – most attenuate over repeated replication cycles – this also is not surprising.
This sounds rather patronizing:
Canadian Foreign Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne says Iran doesn’t have experts who can analyze the data recorders from a civilian airliner shot down last month, and it’s now time to send the black boxes out of the country.
“I think they have understood from the different civil aviation authorities in the world that the kind of equipment and expertise that you need to read the black boxes cannot be brought to Iran,” Champagne said
Vassal Canada at the Hegemon’s bidding would like the black boxes or their information removed to the US so that any indication of the 5 or 6 F-35 Lemonjets that Russia detected nearby meddling with transponder codes and other signatures are ‘neutralised’.
Man with knife & plan to ‘assassinate’ Trump detained outside White House
https://www.rt.com/usa/480455-man-knife-white-house-kill-trump/
” A man carrying a knife has been detained outside the White House in Washington, DC. He told the US Secret Service that he’d brought the weapon to “assassinate” Donald Trump.
The suspect himself approached a security officer who was patrolling outside the presidential residence Saturday afternoon, and told him of his plan. “I have a knife to do it with,” he said, according to a police report seen by AP.
The man had a 3.5-inch (around 9-cm) knife on him as well as an empty pistol holster.
After the arrest, Hedgpeth was taken to a hospital for a mental health evaluation. It turned out that he was a “critically missing/endangered person as well as a mental health consumer” from Brandon, Florida.”
Another mental case from florida, gee, what a surprise.
“critically missing/endangered person”. Odd turn of phrase…
“mental health consumer”. A consumer of mental health? He eats it? Or another mark to sell stuff to? The right/capitalists have a warped outlook on life…
“The health and safety of our guests and crew is of utmost importance to us … ”
