—> If You Meet The Buddha On The Road, Kill Him! <—
by BRIAN@BRIANSCHELL.COM, on December 1st, 2008
Question:
I have heard the phrase “If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him!” many times.
Can you explain this?
Answer:
It actually comes from an old koan attributed to Zen Master Linji, (the founder of the Rinzai sect).
It’s a simple one: “If you meet the Buddha, kill him.”– Linji
I’m sure you already realize that it’s not being literal. The road, the killing, and even the Buddha are symbolic.
The road is generally taken to mean the path to Enlightenment; that might be through meditation, study, prayer, or just some aspect of your way of life. Your life is your road. That’s fairly straightforward as far as metaphors go.
But how do you meet the Buddha on this “road?” Imagine meeting some symbolic Buddha. Would he be a great teacher that you might actually meet and follow in the real world? Could that Buddha be you yourself, having reached Enlightenment? Or maybe you have some idealized image of perfection that equates to your concept of the Buddha or Enlightenment.
Whatever your conception is of the Buddha, it’s WRONG! Now kill that image and keep practicing.
This all has to do with the idea that reality is an impermanent illusion. If you believe that you have a correct image of what it means to be Enlightened, then you need to throw out (kill) that image and keep meditating.
Most people have heard the first chapter of the Tao, “The Tao that can be named is not the eternal Tao.” (So if you think you see the real Tao, kill it and move on).
Find your SELF-GOD-TAO!
Happy self-RE-discovery meditation :)
If you THINK you are enlightened you become the Buddha on the road…..you’re an egotist, not enlightened, so, kill the buddha on the road. No Buddha, No Road. That is the way. Now for the sound of one hand clapping….
Ah dear friend A Simpleton… is not an egoist greater than the enlighten?
In the west all are progammed to believe an egoist is of the negative light
but what if to be an egoist is your birth right?

Energy Tools To Help You Feel Safer during the Corona Virus Outbreak

@amarynth if you have time pls do have a look at this and comment as you see fit :)
Be safe there
p/s you can combine it with meditation of your choice of power-chant/prayers :)
Yeah sure, but as a combined protocol with other stuff. This is what we have now from the TCM world from Wuhan where they’ve defined the classical meridians (those that they need to work with) from work on those patients and they actively use acupuncture – in the link they set out their protocol. So, if you know the meridians, all good. But how many of us know the TCM meridians and can take the pulses and so on? Very few I would think.
https://classicalchinesemedicine.org/report-from-front-line-wuhan/
Btw, I’ve done many of Donna Eden’s courses and there are a few methods that we use regularly in the house. If it makes you feel better .. do it :-) This stuff does not harm and is very good to learn. She is such an energetic person – it is lovely to see.
Btw, section 6 is up now in the community – https://saker.community/topic/6-use-your-usual-protocol-for-winter-colds-and-some-suggested-procedures/
Section 7 is also up but short of information that we’re waiting for.
You might perhaps want to investigate the work of the Heart Math Institute. They are scientists and medics, but who practice and research “outside the box”. They have recorded the emanations of EM frequency from the brain and heart – the heart is about 5000 time stronger than the brain – and the afferent / efferent communication between the neurites, that is the brain like cells in the heart, and the brain. The heart informs the brain much more than reverse.
They teach a very simple technique for good health and a part of the road to spiritual enlightenment, which is available to all.
Its part of a meditation, and even if you dont’ meditate daily for a 20 – 30 min spell, this little action takes a few minutes and you can do it everywhere and anywhere.
Once you become proficient and practise is regularly it helps to develop what we call “intuition’ too.
It’s called ‘Heart Brain Coherence”. I have been practising it since I learned of it and highly recommend it.
Incidentally, they have measured output of hormones from the pineal gland, called the ‘Youth” chemicals, and found many hormones involved in heathy growth, stability, and anti-stress rise substantially among those who practise the coherence meditation.
it has also been shown to increase the Immune system strength, so it would help in warding off attacks on this system too.
what is the heart that
it cannot be contained by
heaven or by earth?
It is the force of life
that pulses through all
and softly a heart
is beating love.
The first thing the growing baby becomes aware of in the womb, is the mother’s heartbeat. There is a divine ‘hum’,
a music of the spheres if you like, behind all of the sounds of life. If we can isolate and follow that sound, it will lead us back to our home in the heart of God. So I absolutely agree with you… It is the force of life that pulses through all!
“There is a divine ‘hum’,
a music of the spheres if you like, behind all of the sounds of life”
Oh Yes. You know, a few years back I happened on some work that had been done by deep ocean researchers, who had taped the sounds and singing of whales. They then fed the sounds through a computer program which plotted them for frequency, pitch, etc on a 3D graph.
And all the sounds thus graphed – made flower patterns. It blew me away. I thought, how limited we are, although we need to be immensely grateful for the ability to sense as much as we do. But I thought, on one level, we see an ocean, and it’s just a huge block of moving water. Put your head under it, and listen, and it is singing and sighing; and if we could but see, it would be full of flowers too!!
One thing about babies in the womb listening to mothers heart as they grow, is the sadness of being ripped away from that, and stuck in a soundless, soulless, detached surrounding, of cot, pram. Here in Ecuador, a thing I love to see is that no-one does that. Mum carries her baby always, either in her arms, or a sling. When she’s tired, sister, or Grandmother do. So baby still goes on developing to the sound of a living heart holding it in love.
So much better than some fancy over priced pusher I think.
Israel Hits a Brick Wall
https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2020/03/08/israel-hits-a-brick-wall/
Elections are supposed to solve problems by reordering government, adopting new policies, and putting new people in control. But how many elections must Israel have before it realizes it can do none of those things because it’s caught in an intractable constitutional bind?
The latest election, the third in less than a year, saw Benjamin Netanyahu surge past Benny Gantz, his slightly more moderate rightwing challenger. But otherwise it accomplished nothing since it still left Netanyahu’s coalition with just 58 seats, three shy of a majority. This was a slight improvement over the last election, which left him six short, but a step back from the election last April when he was able to assemble a hair-thin 61-seat majority – but which, in any event, fell apart after just a few weeks.
So Netanyahu is back where he started. No matter how many times Israelis go to the polls, they find that that a stable ruling majority is still out of reach.
Why? The problem, basically, is one of politics and demography.
I don’t want to alarm anyone but the CORONAVIRUS
will soon spread irreversibly.
The first risks of contagion are banknotes,
do not touch them, take them with gloves and put them in an airtight envelope and leave it outside your door.
Tomorrow morning I will drop by for collection and disposal,
I am doing it for public health! Do not thank me !
HA :) I think the virus could stick on to physical gold and silver bars too!
9 days they say :)
Somebody always gets unjustify/lucky richer in times like these….
Hahaha!!! Hehe..

I, also, am willing to put myself at personal risk in order to save you all from these deadly pathogens.
I consider it to be my patriotic duty.
Fantastic – although in a more abstruse manner I suspect the Bankers have beaten you to this.
However, can I copy it and post it further? I”ll give credit.
copy left and right no credit needed
And that bring us one step closer to a cashless society where Rothschild and Rockefeller will be deciding the fate of this world. May God have mercy on us.
And all I can say to that is – just try it here in Ecuador. There is truly no way I think, that anyone is gong to stop the Quechua and poorer, minimally educated Ecuadorean from using Cash. Heck, you can’t even pay a Government bill with anything but cash – and the people wont have it any other way. We saw recently how they react to Governments trying to tread on the things they hold dear :-)
I think Cash is safe in all communities like this one. It’s the “advanced civilisations” – hah – that need to worry. They are full of people who do exactly as they are told.
Pamela I, for one, would love to hear more from you on Life in Ecuador. You are very well travelled and educated.
Once my 4 kids flew the nest, I started to sponsor children through Compassion Aus, one of whom lives in Ecuador and is the same age as my granddaughter. Sadly her mother moved away from the Project and I’ve heard no more. But I’m endlessly intrigued with Life at grassroots around the world, as that is my origin also.
I was brainwashed for some decades but went through the unlearning process and now ‘closing the circle’
All Strength to You
Thank you Babuska. If you can think of a way, I’ll be happy to talk about what I have learned from living here – and what I picked up from 9 months in Vladivostok too.
Always happy to share :-)
Pamela
A while ago a café guest commented about life in Canada and its disadvantages for young family.
Then, having moved the family to Russia, wrote an exhaustive and most valuable article for The Saker
It became especially appreciated by numerous Vineyarders for a multitude of reasons
Or perhaps you could regale us here in the café with vignettes – you do have an appreciative audience here :-)
I’ve had extra time to visit and linger in the café these past weeks due to resting sprained ankle. Usually I’m busy with my mother’s affairs and my grandchildren. In those busy times I still make time to read, but as you have already said- it is tiring to write well
And you do write very well
I hope that helps?
Thank you Babushka. It seems good use of our Cafe. I’ll start to try. And thank you so much for your encouraging comments about my writing. it can be a lonely business, and a little encouragement goes a long way :-)
OMG, I almost fell off my chair laughing…Thank you Bernie, I needed that
Whats going on with the spreading of the Coronavirus? I find some things strange. California, in the US has a large Chinese population (millions I guess) so does New York, with many of them traveling to China in both directions. I witnessed this while waiting for a connection (3-4 months ago) in the LAX (Los Angeles airport). Considering this, I find very small the number of reported cases with infection (or deaths) coming out from the US. In time the spread there should be as large (or even bigger) than in China, since the US lack the capacity to apply similar drastic measures to isolate whole towns with the infection.
Right you are. China and California have been linked ever since the Gold Rush in the 1840’s and the building of the transcontinental railroads 20 years later.
If you do not like the source I am quoting ( by the way, it has been almost spot on since the get-go during the current fear-hype miasma spread by the ruling elites) then check out the blog of the professor from Seattle
https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-03-08-mutation-pattern-in-coronavirus-sequence-silently-spreading-usa.html
Well, I’d like to propose it’s because :
{a} The virus is NOT a geo-engineered entity designed to affect Oriental peoples [otherwise, ergo, those Oriental genotypes in California and NY would be likewise highly infected], and because
{b} there is perhaps a strong relation between social factors and incidence of lethality, i.e. smokers with associated lung disease etc. Perhaps the Chinese people of California and NY have been exposed to healthy lifestyles for longer, i.e, dont smoke, exercise, eat healthy Chinese style food etc. Thus have stronger systems and resist infection.
Just a suggestion – my apologies if it sounds “supercilious”. :-)
Let’s deal first with ‘supercilious’. What I said exactly, was:
“I do not know what is worse. Supercilious pronouncements about fear, or supercilious ill-informed complacency. ”
It is up to you if you want to put those shoes on, or not. Perhaps it would be more wise to take it just as written. I work here – and am very careful of ad-hominems. Other folks at The Saker had other descriptions of what was happening and I will not repeat that, but it looked to me as if there was a ‘measuring contest’ going on. But that is over now.
Thus far, you have not looked at anything that I posted, and gave a clear analysis of the issues that I presented, or proof of agreement or disagreement. This is how we try to work here, yet in the Cafe, things are much looser.
Answer to (a) – this is a geo-political blog mainly. It is just here in the Cafe where we play. So, let me give you the geo-political and factual answer to that. China is now only beginning to lift their heads – slowly. And they have not forgotten about the bio-weapon issues.
“Shen Yi, an international relations professor at Shanghai’s Fudan University, stated that global virologists “including the intelligence agencies” were tracking the origin of the virus. Also of interest, the Chinese government did not shut the door on this. The news report stated:
“Netizens are encouraged to actively partake in discussions, but preferably in a rational fashion.”
In China, that is meaningful. If the reports were rubbish, the government would clearly state that, and tell people to not spread false rumors.” So far it has been exactly that .. denying that it ever could have been a bioweapon. Well, things are changing as we speak.
https://www.globalresearch.ca/china-coronavirus-shocking-update/5705196
In addition, the Chinese 5th column has stood up overnight and there are calls for Xi JinPing’s resignation – for the government’s handling of the corona virus. This column is calling for ‘civil rights and China’s peaceful transition to constitutional rule’. (Where have we heard that before? Why do I immediately think Pompeo?). This may have been, and some speculate, a very specific false flag, intending to overthrow the CCP. In addition we have out of Taiwan, a virologist saying that this virus originated out of the US.
We don’t know, but what is clear is that it is not all as we see it. What is also clear, looking at the financial carnage among the rich in the markets today, some genie has been let out of some bottle. We will keep analyzing.
——————–
Answer to (b) – Why should this be a geo-weapon only targeted to China? It is a geo-weapon with a wide target or it morphed outside of its target field. Oops. Let your mind go. We have Italy, we have Iran, we have South Korea, and according to this morning’s numbers, the infected are jumping up in 10’s or more. Germany up 136 overnight, Spain up 300 overnight, France up 203 overnight. These countries have started testing. There are very few countries now with less than 10 new cases and the numbers are increasing at an alarming rate.
Half of Italy in quarantine, info from Russia this morning is that if anyone breaks quarantine, they will be jailed, in a quarantine jail.
Finally, I’m kinda done with speculating. Enough factual issues are now coming down the pike, that we can be enthralled with what is happening. But really my focus now is to help and assist with actionable intelligence, things that can be done and that an ordinary person can do to keep themselves out of most of the trouble.
I also stay with the analysis that I did for the blog a few weeks ago, and the 5 realities at the end of that. We don’t have much more yet, excepting we have a massive spreading thing called a virus that kills many people, potentially huge numbers more than seasonal flu. The fallout of what is happening is massive for our world.

(Just in general, the folks here are seasoned, they are ‘old sawlty dawgs’, they’ve seen life at its worst and at its best and they survived, they come from all places and all backgrounds, so, let’s chill out and learn. ioan is a most gentle soul for example, but when he writes his piece, it cuts like a very sharp knife – you never know who you are dealing with and what their background is. We have PhD’s, we have multiple Masters, we have soldiers and warriors, we have analysts in various disciplines, we have artists and poets, religious, irreligious, tarot card readers, visionaries, farmers and candlestick makers, working and retired — add and we probably have that.)
A fine lecture to one brilliant lady ! I guess she is more than capable of speaking for herself, but as i’t a Cafe and open forum, why not respond to her, or many others ? By the way, we have simpletons here too, and holy fools, and black sheep, they are very wise and caring souls, and sincerely concerned for humanity as well, I think they might add an extra Russian touch…

““I do not know what is worse. Supercilious pronouncements about fear, or supercilious ill-informed complacency. ”
It is up to you if you want to put those shoes on,”
Well amarynth, it’s a bit like Cinderella’s shoes isn’t it? if there was only foot it was designed for, it was bound to fit :-)
I am so far the only poster who has made a substantial comment to the effect that I feel the fear factor is being driven by the PTB far more than the disease itself warrants. So, I can’t see anyone else deciding that that shoe fits them.
So far not only did I read the genomic sequence for myself from the science lab which posted it, and thought “well, where are the vector sequences, what marker gene was used, where are the non-Corona sequences. This doesn’t look like any engineered virus I ever saw.” The laboratory which published the sequences demonstrated that apart from 4 insert segments they were ALL corona virus sequences. The 4 aberrant segments are present in other Corona viruses but as shorter and lesser fragments. In he CoV-2019, all 4 segments were a 100% fit with HIV sequences involved in coding for a coat protein. That alone made me think at first it was an engineered virus, until I saw there were no Vector sequences, and that these segments are present in other Corona viruses. I can’t go further than that, except to say that more labs are needed to replicate the findings of the first lab. So far, no one has come forward to publish a paper stating that they have found anything different. To me. that tells the entire story at the viral level.
It was from this I moved to seeing the outrageous hysteria .
Then I saw that other, international virologists far better qualified and experienced than I such as the Virologist at the Russian Health Ministry, were saying the same thing – so far, and let me re-iterate – so far, there is no biochemical or genetic evidence to show it was in any way bio-engineered. And I’m sorry, but nobody who has no science training, who cannot quote any science to disprove that, is going to change my view.
As for all the quarantining, the released numbers from other nations, I also cannot forget, ever, that I have not one iota of trust in one single thing any Western government says, especially given the various other explanations possible, nor of any single thing I read in any Western newspaper. And this fear hysteria, the numbers published, the quarantining, are ALL being stated or done by the very Empire minions who control minds we are supposedly aware of and fighting against.
Do you know what hysteria, fear, chronic stress do to people? Did you see this? https://www.tmz.com/2020/03/07/women-fight-toilet-paper-grocery-store-australia-coronavirus/
We might laugh at this – but on a bigger scale it becomes no laughing matter.
Where it is coming from is alone enough to have me dismiss this fear / hysteria – where it’s coming from. For example, I dont see anything like it in Russia. There are common sense controls, which anyone would put in place, there are a few announcements, and as far as I can see, life is going on as usual.
Which is as it should be.
I am merely trying to show another perspective.
For example, you quote “Germany up 136 overnight,” and you are seeing 136 people. Which is fine, but it’s a bit fragmented, as they are part of entire population of – 83,698,100, of which 139 is, 0.000162 % of the population. If you look at it like that, it seems to put it into another perspective, doesn’t it?
And I’m not sure I understand most of the rest of your comment. Your “I work here” for example, means — what? Also “Other folks at The Saker had other descriptions of what was happening and I will not repeat that, but it looked to me as if there was a ‘measuring contest’ going on.” I’m sorry, I have no idea what that means. I cannot respond to it in any way.
I have been reading here for a long long time amarynth. (Lets all try and not get personal. Thx. Mod.) I’ve been responsible for recommending it far and wide in other forums I’ve written on. I’m aware of the plethora of highly trained and intelligent people who read here – and don’t think my comment “talked down” to them in any way. In fact, my “pitch” of science and my take on perception manipulation are only really going to be accessible to informed intelligent minds.
Frankly, I’d rather let go the entire thing. I’ve said all I have to say really, and have not seen – so far – anything to change my mind.
Lol :-)
I strongly suspected that the bit you deleted here you wouldn’t allow through.
Sorry for laughing but – thanks for being predictable.
And – no – guys, i wasn’t personally insulting anyone. just revealing a bit of past history of mine.
Hey p., look at it this way, your complaint was posted. Mine never do
Sorry to hear that vot tak. Yes, I should be and am, grateful.
You said…”In fact, my “pitch” of science and my take on perception manipulation are only really going to be accessible to informed intelligent minds.”
Of course, my considerable personal limitations in vocabulary meant that I had to consult the online dictionary…this was what I found…
“Adjective…behaving or looking as though one thinks one is superior to others ”
This statement simply couldn’t get any more mind-bogglingly supercilious than this. ‘In fact’, I think the internet’s online dictionary should consider using this as its example…. it’s perfect!
LOL
Col
So you think that merely stating a fact is being superior”? Curious.
If the discussion under discussion here had been about – Oh, I dont know, lets say the physics of military equipment and why the Su-27 is a better plane than the F-35, and someone had said “of course, the technical details I’ve left are only going to be accessible to informed minds”, I’d think ” yeah, and mine isn’t on this topic, so thanks for giving me a heads up”. Who ever wrote it does know more than I do, and it’s going to take more than a room temperature IQ to teach myself what I need to know so it’s a fair comment.
I’ve learned a fair bit from reading and listening to Paul Craig Roberts, since his field was never mine. And I had to go look things up to do that too [ I have to admit, “nekkid shorts” had the imagination reeling. Turned out they’re not what I had imagined after a lifetime of Aussie beaches ] but I dont think he’s supercilious because he writes about things I am not familiar with.
However, it seems you would mutter “supercilious b******d” and leave it at that.
Just a difference in how we view the world I guess. I dont think an acknowledgement of a fact indicates anything other than an adherence to reality.
I have followed PCR’s work closely for at least a decade and have always had tremendous admiration for his work, his courage, and his attitude. He pulls no punches in spelling out the uncomfortable truths of how his country conducts itself on the world stage to such a degree that I have always marveled at how he has survived with such candid and regularly expressed honesty.
For you to assume that I would consider him supercilious is astonishing. In my view, PCR is incredibly well informed and knowledgeable and yet still comes across as humble and receptive to other views. I have never detected even the slightest hint that he considers himself to be superior or that his views can’t be grasped by the masses. I see him as an amazing noble and honest gentleman with absolutely zero assumptions of superiority. Indeed PCR is one of my all-time favorite commentators…goodness only knows where this absurd assumption comes from …nothing could be further from reality.
My one regret is that this man is such a rare commodity in a country gone mad on hubris and self-glorification to the stage that it is well on in the process of completely destroying itself from within. And all of this with no help from any of its contrived or perceived enemies. He also goes to great lengths to point out that in this process of self-destruction they run the risk of ending the entire existence of humanity.

Please do not dismiss this virus. Would you dismiss Smallpox when it first arose as “just another sort of cow pox – everyone gets it”.”
This is a VERY nasty virus.
The Chinese data I do trust. They have lots of cases and statistical confidence. So what we KNOW is that it kills between 3.4-5% of people (depending on the method chosen for calculation). However worst case scenario is as much as 7% depending on the outcome of those still in critical care.
Yes it is far, far worse for those over 80 but 1.3% of those between 50-60 also die. It also kills of health professionals probably because of viral load. But for those under 50 it is mild.
However for a very infectious virus that kills 1/100 of those in their 50s is is a very big deal.
I’m not dismissing it watcher. I’ve nowhere said anything to imply that. The elderly who have established ill heath are as much deserving of our care as anyone. I’ve nursed them, I should know, and I do.
I am aware of the virulence of the corona viruses. Along with the rhinovirus, they are responsible for about 80% of all Common colds and associated pneumonia’s, which do largely affect the elderly compromised.
You know we [medical people] used to call pneumonia “the old persons’ friend”, because it so often affects very elderly infirm, and they do die from it, but in a very gentle, pain free way. It’s a kinder death than many I’ve seen. My Nain [Eng. Grandmother] died that way.
I just think and have said, that I believe the hysteria being generated is way, way out of proportion to it’s profile, both demographic and medical. I used a comparison to show this – that of Influenza – which has a much higher death rate, yet generates no comment from the PTB.
And I believe that while this hysteria and fear is probably being deliberately caused, even if I am wrong and it is not, it has bad side effects on the mass of people – which I would rather not happen. I suspect that lot more people could die of fear than of this virus.
In fact, there is an excellent speech to the Smithsonian Institute, available on YouTube, by Michael Crichton, [the much missed very insightful ex-doctor turned writer and film maker], about this very thing. He demonstrated using verified figures, that more people died as a result of the actions they took out of fear, than did from radiation during the Chernobyl incident.
The thing that also amazes me is how everyone so quickly forgets, and loses perspective.
The generators of this fear are Empire + vassal governments and their propaganda arms, called MSM.
But how much of their lies and manipulations have we seen over the years, from the bombing of European Yugoslavia; to “weapons of mass destruction ” that never existed, but what terror was generated then; and the destruction of Iraq, and poor Libya. Lies by the OPCW to enable bombing of Syria, lies about Julian Assange who exposed the war crimes of the US in Iraq, on and on it goes.
Yet it’s these same people whose word is being taken for gospel by all on this virus outbreak.
There is a piece on Russia Insider from J.J. Watson about Russia and how it has a very low incidence. He asserts it’s because of Border Controls. I have written there to point out that there is also no panic, no hysteria no fear, and that I suspect this too has hugely contributed to its low incidence.
So – yes, it’s nasty but of limited damage ability, it’s following a well known and documented pattern of such outbreaks, it will soon go away and lose it’s virulence, to become part of the balance of host:parasite relationships with which we share this world, us and the many microbes that also inhabit it.
Again, keep murmuring the mantra – “Keep calm, and think for yourself” :-)
Another example of what happens when fear and hysteria get out of control; when people act out of fear and its associated hysteria, but on very very poor scientific grounds..
This is short, but good.
and you can trust Michael Crichton – not only did he always speak with authority as he did his research, I’ve researched the facts from this myself. They stand up.

Mod I wrote a reply to this – fairly long and detailed, but nothing in it I suspect which could cause offence. Its not here, but others I wrote much later are.
Can you find it please, and let me know if you are not going to post it for some reason?
Many thanks.

If you are referring to your post that begins…. “I’m not dismissing it watcher. I’ve nowhere said anything to imply that. The elderly who have established ill heath….” then – it was approved.

Watcher
Too True!
Albert Bartlett once said…” one of the greatest shortcomings of the human race is the inability to understand exponential function.
Exponential spread of CV-19 is precisely what we are already seeing in multiple countries and the doubling times should be ringing alarm bells loud and clear.
Imagine as an example flooding the entire Royal Albert Hall with water and only starting with 1ml but with a doubling time of 1 minute. It would take 21 minutes to get to one cubic meter of water. The hall is about 86,000 cubic meters in volume so it would take a further 17.5 minutes to fill it completely. That would be a total of 37.5 minutes to begin overflowing.
The Houston Astrodome is 14 times the volume of the Albert Hall. It would take 42 minutes starting with the same 1 ml of water to completely fill this giant stadium.
This is the power of exponential spread. If you convert the minutes in the above example to one or two or even three day doubling times the spread rate for CV-19 is totally horrific. This is what the “merely a common cold” brigade completely fail to grasp.
They will grasp it soon enough when they see the health systems in countries being completely overwhelmed. For some countries, this is only days away and with that will come a massive increase in mortality rates.
These facilities will quickly run out of beds, drugs, protective gear and of course staff as well.
Sigh
Col
Sigh…

…and… a doubling rate of 2.6 days in Italy in spite of widespread emergency measures to curb the spread…some “variant of the common cold” we have here!

A preventative, as well as a treatment for acute cases of CV-19, could literally be right under our noses.
https://drrowendrsu.com/our-blog/a-plausible-penny-costing-effective-treatment-for-corona-virus-ozone-therapy/
A couple of quotes from the link…
“Ozone is triatomic oxygen. Ozone therapy (OT) utilizes 1-5% ozone in 95-99% oxygen as a gas. As a medical therapy, it has been in use since the late 1800s, but is little known. It is not patentable for profit; thus, corporate interests have no incentive. Consequently, few formal studies have been performed. Yet prolific science article have been published, conducted in Italy, Cuba and elsewhere, demonstrating powerful biochemical effects.
Ozone is the most powerful oxidant found in nature. It actually is produced in our body, observed in a stunning discovery at Scripps Institute. Bocci and Menendez both published books summarizing their research groups’ published basic science works. , Briefly, OT improves blood rheology, oxygen delivery, oxygen utilization, and immune modulation via cytokine induction. Bocci privately regarded OT to create “super gifted red cells” and as the “ideal cytokine inducer”.
When blood is treated with ozone, ozone instantly reacts with electron-rich bonds and creates longer living downstream metabolites called ozonides: reactive oxygen species and lipid oxidation products, inclusive of peroxides. These molecules appear to act as messengers for the key biochemical and immune-modulating effects of the therapy. Menendez found that preconditioning animals with ozone is as powerful as dexamethasone in reducing TNFαin endotoxic shock. This would be exceptionally valuable as a means of safely suppressing “cytokine storm”, often the real killer in hot infections and seemingly with fatal Coronavirus.”
and…
“The world already has a most inexpensive, safe, and likely effective remedy for deadly viral diseases, which exploits their redox vulnerability at critical membrane cysteine sites. Ozone therapy could be easily deployed worldwide. This epidemic could provide a means to study ozone therapy very ethically by treating seriously ill patients, who might otherwise expire, with ozone therapy under the auspices of the institution’s review board. Governments should take notice.”
Of course, Big Pharma wouldn’t make a cent out of any of this…well, boo hoo hoo!

I notice something very strange in mortality rates from CV-19 in Germany on Chris Martenson’s site…the last time I checked it was 0 in 795 cases…this is a very conspicuous outlier when compared to other country’s outcomes.
It just so happens that Germany widely and routinely uses OT in its health system. Obviously there could be many other factors involved as well, but it seems to me this could be one of the reasons.

I myself have been treated with OT for the last 2 years because of a severe life-threatening COPD condition.
After regular bouts of pneumonia and very limited life expectancy, I now lead an almost normal life. I take no drugs whatsoever and scans show a 30% reduction in lung infiltrates…I simply undertake regular quarterly intravenous OT sessions with my local registered practitioner.

I think it is perhaps short period for Germany – it is a guess, I have not looked at their timings at all. But cases there are surging. https://www.rt.com/newsline/482617-germany-coronavirus-cases-surge/
“I notice something very strange in mortality rates from CV-19 in Germany on Chris Martenson’s site…the last time I checked it was 0 in 795 cases…this is a very conspicuous outlier when compared to other country’s outcomes.”
Or it might reflect on the ethnicity of those who contacted the disease in germany. Elderly male Chinese are at most risk of dying from it. Caucasians face much less risk of dying.
Vot
The mortality rate in Italy is very high. They like Germany do however have a very high world rank in terms of ‘Oldest Populations’….i.e. in terms of share of population 65 and older.
Japan ranks 1st at 18%
Italy ranks 2nd at 16.5%
Germany ranks 3rd at 15.6%
Germany is such a glaring example as an outlier in MR that it cannot be explained by ethnicity. IMO there have to be other factors at play here.

I just don’t know about the Ozone therapy Col. I looked at this perhaps 8 years or so ago, but we had nobody near to us with the technology. But what we did in the community is to take the stance of being in lockdown, in quarantine, with nothing available and preparing for that kind of circumstance. So, I just don’t know Col. Good to know that it works for you though and that you feel good and improving.
I haven’t seen such hype and fanfare for what amounts to the vast majority as nothing more than a bad cold. I’ve not, in my entire life seen anybody bunker up for the common influenza virus that kills magnitudes more elderly than the covid virus ever will. Simple common sense hygiene seems lost on so many.
Exactly.
We’ve been telling people for years to “wash your hands” with big notices in public toilets, and I wonder if anyone now remembers an old aphorism from way back “coughs and sneezes spread diseases” in posters telling everyone to cough and sneeze into tissues and then dispose of them.
I was forever telling student nurses “you are NOT being courageous and admirable to go to work when you know you have started a cold and are still infectious. All you are going to do is give it to everyone else. Find something useful to do at home until the worst has gone”. (they’re calling it self isolation now, and sending everyone into a shopping hysteria).
As you say – a little old fashioned common sense and standard hygiene measures and a calm rational approach are what is needed.

Interesting to note that that your advocated strategy for dealing with CV-19 is conspicuously close to Trump’s.
Of course, this idiot’s brilliant strategy response, in a nutshell, is very ‘simple’…wait for it…
…”Just stay calm, it will go away”
Well watch this space and see how this mind-numbing display of complete incompetence and cognitive dissonance works out!

If you obsess over the data as i have been for the last 6 weeks you will know that in fact the spread from Hubei province was very controlled and cases now on the very small side.
If you take the John Hopkins data you will see that of large provinces (eg Guangdong, Shandong Beijing etc, the infection rate has been relatively small – 1e 1,200 compared with Italy’ at 9,000. Given that most Chinese provinces have a huge population bigger than many European nations, you will quickly see that the risk of contagion from Italy is far higher than from 90% of China. In reality it is only Hubei province that is relevant.
So yes there is spread to the US from China but really only from Wuhan is it bog time. since nations were quite quick to shut out China, because they were hostile to China, they have been much slower to do the same with Italy.
So no it is not at all surprising that the infection with the Californian Chinese community has been relaltivley low.
Those with large Korean populations would be at far greater risk, although there seems to be good evidence to suggest that the Korean strain is rather less deadly than the Hubei strain.
For what it is worth it now seems that the “wet market” has been completely debunked as a theory, with the evidence suggesting that the ancestor is H38, a strain found in Guangdong and oddly enough in some of the early cases in the US and Australia. However I do not think this points particularly to a bioweapon origin of the virus, but it does place any inter species mix in Guangdong rather than Wuhan which makes sense given that that is where they more often eat weird stuff. It is also the home of SARS and you probably all know by now that this is in fact a SARS variant – not even given a new species name.
PS for those who did read my earlier post about a Taiwanese program, the above is what it is based on. I was able to track down the actual paper in English via a Thai medical site. What is wrong with western media that i need to do to a Thai site to find this. For doubters like Pamela, I promise you it is a really “respectable”scientific study not something put about by people with an agenda, although after reading the article in full I think the Taiwanese virologist had a bit of an agenda., but he was only using the paper – not presenting as an author.
I dont know about the post you made and referred to here, and have not caught up with anything official from Thailand, However i do have a Taiwanese friend. She informed me that they had about 60 cases, and 2 deaths from ill health elderly. She commented on their containment methods and said they were generally assessed to have been very good.
She informed me no-one in Taiwan is particularly anxious about the infection.
There is one thing I really wish the PTB would use this current hysteria for, which would be excellent since they generated it. But they wont. It might affect some Corporations profits.
But if they could point out that the worst demographic by far was elderly health compromised and in China especially smokers, and use this to try to inflict greater damage on the smoking industry – perhaps get smokers to quit – that would go a long way towards improving health. Also to point out that the healthy elderly were no more in danger – or not much – than healthy younger people in order to push the need for health measures to be taken BEFORE an epidemic hits. Such as a good moderate diet, losing some weight, doing some exercise, not drinking to much alcohol, never smoking or doing drugs and having regular medical checkups if they can afford it.
It would be the best use of the generated fear campaign than anything else I can think of.

I urge all viewers to go onto the Health Forum to download and experience the Rife frequencies. Please report back any experiences. We are trying to be of service–not just sound off pro and con THE VIRUS–so as much serious feedback information as possible is necessary.
I did the Viral (it’s 20 minutes ) frequencies last night. it was very irritating and I became extremely thirsty drinking about a quart of water during the course of it.
Keep track of your emotions during the sessions because what has been thrown into the etheric/astral envelop of the earth is a 3 pronged and maybe even more attack against the physical, emotional, mental/spiritual body of humanity. IMHO. How can I serve?
Not trying to scare anyone….just saying.. The second leading cause of death in Looneylandia for the young is
drug overdose/suicide. Powerful currents are whispering, ” die, die” subliminally.
A trial is underway in the Netherlands concerning the downing of Malaysian Air MH17.
Some questons:
3 Ukrainian air force SU-25 operating during the timeframe according to other public witnesses and 1 main witness from the base now in Russia. Ukraine has denied any operation and loss of 2 of the aircrafts.
No there has been no investigation into that. It is not allowed according to Ukrainian veto rights of the investigation, so obviously this could not have happened and is of no interest to the court.
Will he be called if there is new evidence. No. There will be no new evidence. (The airforce pilot is dead, so that is not going to happen). Everything is so convenient. Just as it is based on removal of witnesses and based on falsification. The 1 main witness from the airbase was also supposed to be eliminated, he escaped to Russia as he learned he had been reassigned to a ground unit in the frontlines of Donbass.
Just like it is a CIA conspiracy with the Ukraine state that was supposed to create a NATO invasion of Ukraine as the ukrainian government military occupation of parts of Novorussia had failed.
The court instead in the opening sequences has focused on the feelings of the families of the victims. As the court apparantly aim at pointing the blame at Russia or about creating a new wave of hate and demonisation, it is like another CIA / NATO operation as the original one, a part of the crime.
In my view a trial should not concentrate on the feelings of the victims, it should purely establish the facts and the sentence if applicable, feelings in that context is only a distraction.
So it seems the trial maybe is about compensation, a punishment to Russia as already determined by others and the JIT (predetermined guilt). I am not saying this because I support Russia, but because I have researched the downing of MH17 based on all available sources, and found the CIA/NATO narrative laden with false information.
Apart from the one russian guy attending plus attorney to defend himself …I wonder if anyone from Russia MFA or a legal dept is able to report the evidence back for further investigation follow up exposure by eg FSB and whoever….or is the evidence to be comprehensively made publicly available …….mind you some say could be a 5 year case…..
Well JJ, I just voiced my concern when I heard about it on RT today. The questions I raised were not from the trial but entirely my imaginary ones. No, I dont have much hopes for a fair trial obviously, and RT considered this a predetermined one way trial. My first thought were of a short and summary trial in the tradition of a military court, denial of witnesses and new evidence obviously, but the European empire has started to use long and extensive proceedings. in order to maximize political biased propaganda and emphasize the court’s own righteousness.

“you are relatively new here, therefore keep calm, you’ll have to get used to many different people’s mind, ask the waiter for a Wodka…I’ll pay !”
Thank you for your kindness ioan – with tonic if I may :-)
I do hope this doesn’t come across as being, I think he word is, “supercilious” :-)
Incidentally, I have often wondered if the “i” beginning your name here is pronounced as a “ee” or “y” as in Cymraeg. We have no “j” and often used Y or I to replace it. For example one of my names is Joan, which we would spell much like yours’
Actually it sounds indeed like Yoan, similar to the German Johann which sounds Yohann, but it has no importance, this is my name in this blog, my signature if you wish, choosing it to show some relevance with my Romanian mixed heritage.
Sigh. I really, really hate to be right about the quick lethality of this weaponized viral pneumonia but, yes, the cytokine storm can be that bad: No, those were not staged photos of Chinese keeling over in the street that we
first saw from Wuhan.
https://theweek.com/speedreads/900862/washington-nursing-home-coronavirus-outbreak-reported-shocking-escalation-from-no-symptoms-death
Okie teranam13 and all
I try to avoid this cytokine storm unfunny business but it seems we just need to deal with it…
This cytokine storm things has been around for decades, yes DECADES!
Its nothing new and definitely not specific to Wuhan.
It first happen in Japan and ppl just drop dead.
(Actually in the TCM teachings has many records of it too, so its been for thousand of years.)
Basically the cause is – extreme stress but the person still ignore the body signals and continue to push ahead.
For example, in Japan, male workers used to be pushed to the brink by their boss and company to perform more and more. So the option are jump off the building or push ahead regardless of what the body signals is flashing. Getting a new job is almost impossible and also losing job is a cultural humiliation to the man.
Some young boy in China die from cytokine storm, playing games. When he was discovered, wks later due to the stinking smell, dead in front of his computer, it logs that he has been playing 2 wks non-stop and he was surrounded by few empty bags of junk food and a whole lot of smokes.
Yours truly has an episode like that too and my body literally just shut down, like a switch, while I was on a train. Luckily it looks natural and it was a rather long trip so I looked like I was sleeping. When the driver/somebody came to shook me up, luckily I was able to wake up… still with a unbelievable headache and shortness of breath and the usual pain all round. Freaks me out ever since not to work 16 hours a day for weeks…
So there you go…
1) Its not a Wuhan specific but ppl who are there, appear to be in less than ideal health condition, are in the danger group.
2) Also, do take in consideration, ppl travel to Wuhan from all over china, so the person may not even be Wuhan resident.
3) The Covid19 may just be the straw that broke the camels back but Covid19 is not the direct and only cause to cytokine storm.
Be safe there
We are no longer talking Wuhan and yes there are different causes for cytokine storm and yes it has been around for awhile and no it is not a common phenomena at least until very recently. People drop dead of many things that are not cytokine storms ( stokes, heart attacks). Below is an article which helps define cytokine storm which is a specific sequela of events.
https://www.breakthroughs.com/foundations-science/inside-cytokine-storm-when-your-immune-system-too-strong
To keep balance in this health discussion, here is C. Austin Fitts and Jon Rappoport in a discussion which was
censored by Vimeo. Just that makes it very worth watching
solari[dot]com/coronavirus-epidemics-vaccine-mandates-with-jon-rappoport/
My take in English will appear as usual on Wednesday, but as there are German speaking
humans visiting the Vineyard, and the week started dramaticly there is a justified curiosity, hence I post my analysis of this week, beginning with today.

I’m Nothing just a Joke
by ioan
On the path of living my own life,
when people lived with dignity and pride
I met someone who had a lot to say,
Showing the light then letting on my way.
Then, years have gone with teachings over head,
Trying to earn my daily slice of bread
Refusing things but drinking my full cup,
Hunting illusions then sudden I woke up,
I used to be a bit stubborn in my ways
Clinging on hope in all my passing days
Hoping in better and never giving up
Taking the battle, counting every slap
Oh, Lord! Oh, Lord! Don’t let me now alone
An older kid in middle of the night,
Outside is dark, cold is the human heart
There is no peace, the matter is their might
The might of those who have the power and the dime
Above the multitude who dances on that rhyme
Therefore I realized, I’m nothing just a joke
Staying around, then later take my walk…
OK ! I like that poem.
Observing smallness is greatness,
Abiding by weakness is strength.
From Tao Te Ching, Verse 52.
(a machine translation)
knowing one thing well,
means understanding many;
the weak become strong
Fire and Clay
Early in the morning at the break of day,
You rise up early and you bale hay.
You toil and you sweat, you beseech and you pray,
And you build your house on a mountain of clay!
With the sun overhead in the middle of the day,
Your bales are heavy, and your horses they neigh;
“They’ll fetch a fine price some place far away,
They’ll stoke up the fire in my house of clay!”
With the sun gone down it’s late in the day,
The servant of the moon has something to say;
“A beloved appears each moment of the day,
When your house is emptied of your heart of clay!”
When nothingness comes at the end of the day,
Mountains surrender and are blown away.
Before the wind, but bales of hay…
And the fire that burns in the house of clay!
Though physical mountains will eventually be blown away by the Great Wind of Nothingness, the Soul survives all present and future conditions until the goal is won; acceptance and realization of Its own Divine nature! How does one realise one’s Divine nature? By applying the principle ‘As above, so below’, ie; imagining and acting as if the goal has already been attained.
“If the sun and moon should ever doubt, they’d immediately go out.”
“The fool who persists in his folly will become wise”.
“If a thing loves, it is infinite.” Blake.

Corona latest from UK’s Guardian
Those with flu or cold could soon be asked to self-isolate, government says, and chief medical officer says new regime for minor illnesses likely to start in next fortnight.
That’s nice, the government practicing a roll out of divide and conquer tactics via enforced isolation after 5 people have died of flue (deadly virus) so get ready to panic without company, however, Johnson added reassuringly that “the best advice so far was still simply for people to wash their hands.” The British government, democracy washing its hands of their subjects.

Sneering English supercilious-ness at it’s finest
Unfortunately Babushka, they still live. One is currently in charge of the kangaroo court currently torturing Julien Assange with a show trial, name of Vanessa Baraitser. Read Craig Murrays reports for her unbelievable, in fact I suspect almost illegal, behaviour towards Assange. Prejudiced doesn’t being to describe it – and by Murray’s accounts delivered in the same snotty nosed supercilious manner.
Yes Pamela I’ve been following the details of Assange’s life works since before 2010 when his mum was featured in the Sunshine Coast Daily. I wrote with her for a while and since then I’ve kept up via Craig Murray. Very knowledgeable people on the subject were ignored and dismissed
-just as did the UN rapporteur on torture, initially.
I’ve just loaned out a book written by a woman who was a child in the same cult family as Julian – she escaped and became a doctor. My understanding is that Julian was not there for very long. He is a remarkable human being and I pray for his strength and endurance/resilience.
It’s a hideous process these hideous creatures are pursuing. I quit government departments for the last time in 2009 surrounded by the spectre of monumentally inhumane behaviours.
We are all deeply grateful to Craig Murray for his determination and fortitude in insisting on being present for Julian and reporting to the world the horrific and illegal treatment meted out to Julian and his family.
Shame also on the Australian government for its cowardice
http://chng.it/sM4nTkMR
This petition for Freedom for Julian Assange managed by Philip Adams is going from strength to strength
Please sign if you haven’t already done so
Thank You
I dont know why Babushka, but the petition wont let me sign. it keeps saying “something went wrong with your submission”. I’ll keep trying.
Managed it. Gone. Also sent it to my FB page.
Suddenly I realise how different the world is now.
Like most, my view of the world was formed when I was a child.
Waaaaay back then it seemed that whatever happened, happened a looooooong way away from me, my family and everyone we knew.
All events, national and global, were remote and had zero impact on my life and anyone I knew.
Carnage, natural disasters, wars and pestilence happened elsewhere.
We would read about events, watch news on TV. Hear about places far far away.
Earthquakes. Moonsoons. Famine. Wars and genocide. Terrible tragedies, but all remote and irrelevant to me in my youth.
Nothing ever happened in my backwater.
I didnt really know what a "boondock" was. But I knew I lived in one.
As an adult I could see my small part of the world change around me.
The population more than doubled in just over 50 years.
But the number of beaches didnt double, nor did the number of rivers and mountains.
Slowly I started to feel the change. Places I visited for recreation were now crowded.
The acres and acres of wide open empty paddocks filled with hundreds of thousands of cookie cutter mcmansions.
But still in my mind I retained the idea, embedded before my teens, that world events would never, could never, reach across the ocean to meet me.
And then last week happened.
I went to an activity about 1hr from my home.
Just as the meeting started a woman arrived late. Instead of taking one of the 6-10 seats empty at the front of the room, she instead elected to grab a chair from the side and squish in beside me (we were seated in a horseshoe format).
She quickly realised the reason there appeared to be a slight gap beside me was because two tables met and the table legs prevented anyone sitting there.
Her solution to her discomfort was to continue to squish in and press against me.
At the break, I turned and spoke to her.
I wanted to say: "Why the flying figjam feck couldn't you take an empty seat?". "Instead of sitting on my thigh for an hour?"
But I didnt. I forced my face into a contortion that I hoped would be interpreted as a smile.
"Hello Susan." I said in what I hoped was a convivial tone….
"I havent seen you here for a while… maybe before Christmas???"
She replied: "I have been overseas".
"Holiday?"
"Not really. I have been 4 months in my country. My mother. She very old now. Very sick. I try to have her to this country. But they say no. This is wrong. Very bad."
My thoughts went in a couple of directions at once.
My elderly aunt. Now well into her 90s. Started work at 14. Been a taxpayer all her life. Self-funded retiree. But we cant access appropriate aged care for her.
So yes, Susan. By all means bring your aged, sick mother here. As a taxpayer I am delighted to pay for her care.
But of course I said nothing like this.
What I said was: "So where is home?"
"South Korea".
"South Korea". I repeat. In a tone I hope betrays no alarm or censure.
"And when did you get back?"
"Two days ago".
"Two days". I repeat.
(This was a week or so…. before flights were stopped. And also no screening).
Fortunately a colleague came along right at that instant to interupt.
"Susan has just been telling me she got back from South Korea yesterday" I said cheerfully.
And with that I grabbed my gear and fled.
No cause for alarm fellow cafeistas. I have zero symptoms and I doubt Susan was infected.
But I have been in self imposed home semi-quarantine.
Which has been excellent as I have had time to start a much needed paper pile throw out.
What has been shattered is my illusion retained from childhood that world events never found their way anywhere near my secluded pocket of the globe.
Suddenly I discover the world is much smaller than it once was. Crowded. With people connected to everything everywhere.
Even now, it would seem, even me!
Hi White Whale

Russia’s Exit from OPEC+: How Moscow Is Killing the Petrodollar.
The United States will lose its oil and gas industry, which generates $1.3 trillion a year and shapes 7.6% of American GDP. Finally, the collapse of OPEC, which served as the basis of the world system of the American petrodollar, will also benefit us. It will be a new OPEC+, with new, Russian rules of the game, not American ones.
Friday, March 6th 2020, will go down in history as the day of the collapse of the global petrodollar system that has existed since 1960. At the OPEC+ meeting in Vienna, Russia refused to further participate in the production reduction program to stabilise the price of black gold.

That’s what you get when you sanction the worlds largest oil supplier. They flood the market and put you out of business. Wonder how that really cheap gas/oil gets from Langley to Warsaw…………suckers!

claiming the current coronaviruses originated in the US should not be too surprising for the millions who already know that the 1918 virus originated also in the US, specifically in military training camps full of soldiers destined for Europe, as early as the Autumn of 2017.
Those who don’t know this, can easily consult certain parts of the 17-volume work published by the US Surgeon-General’s Office between 1921-1929, titled: “The Medical Department of the United States Army in the Word War” Look for it. You can download any volume.
In volume 12 you can read what was going on in the various training camps, all extremely crowded, like Camp Pike, Camp Greene and many others. A flu with huge mortality rates >3% among young men is by definition not your everyday flu. And then wave after wave of sick soldiers tens of thousands of them, were shipped to Europe, starting in early 2018. They quickly caused an epidemic in the port city of Brest, France, a major disembarkment point. And from there to the trenches and everywhere else. Exhibiting their great creativity in the art of nomenclature, they labeld this illness the “Spanish flu”. And the rest is history.
Did they omit the part where the soldiers were being inocculated against ‘the flu’ which is how the ‘flu’ morphed into the killer it was. Over crowding, eh, sounds like a whitewash.
I am not aware of their being inocculated as you describe. Is there documentation about it?
What I do know is that many of the tens of thousands of soldiers being shipped to Europe in 2018 were sick with a monster flu that had started brewing in US training camps as early as the Autumn of 2017.
There was/is, is it findable, can’t say. Inocculations were all the rage back then, remember it’s just a few years after Currie discovered penicillian. Basicly the start to big Pharma, and the test rats, no shortage. Gonna go out on a limb, I believe I read it in one of Sholnicks papers, which doesn’t make it true, but Sherman wasn’t one to lie.
Well, if you look in volume 12 of the work mentioned above,
https://collections.nlm.nih.gov/catalog/nlm:nlmuid-14120390RX13-mvpart
You will find 23 instances of words containing “inocul” as part of inoculation, inoculations, inoculate, inoculated). I have not checked what they are about, so maybe you are on to something.
Down under has gone shite house crazy.
Panic in the supermarket aisles has caused fist fights and chaos as customers load and overload their trolleys with not just a 4 pack of toilet paper but 100 ++ rolls of paper.
Well as of a few days ago the shelves have been stripped bare of toilet rolls, paper towel, wet wipes, hand sanitiser, baked beans and rice. Mind boggling.
First we have level 2 water restrictions during the drought, then the bush fires, then floods… now coranavirus crazy stuff. Fear of self isolating for 14 days has panic buying for paper, but not food apparently.
What else… the bank cut interest rates … so any cash in the bank gets zilch interest … so much for trying to support oneself in maturity after working a lifetime and paying taxes.
Appropriately, at pilates today they played ‘Its a mad mad world’.
Stay strong and healthy good people of the vineyard.
The Great Toilet Paper Shortage
Gone are the days of great big stacks,
Of toilet paper sitting on endless racks.
We took our time, we made our choice;
Seldom did we feel the need to rejoice!
Gone are the days of neat single files,
Of people helping people with pleasant smiles;
The great toilet paper shortage is here;
We hope it’ll be done by this time next year!
Well, they say there’s a time to turn the cheek,
When the strong must lend a hand to the weak.
But all that stuff is kinda passé,
When there’s no toilet paper it’s time to melee!
You may be foolish you may be sensible,
But its easy to agree, some things are indispensible;
To be alone at the ol’ launch pad;
It ain’t no fun and it ain’t no fad!
From W.A. to ol’ New South Wales,
Tempers are flaring and tipping the scales.
Please prevent us O’, Lord, from killing ourselves,
And while you’re at it, please re-stock our shelves!
Come gather round, people, we’ve been hit by a drought;
The big bad bugaboo is about!
Who’ll be the boy wonder, who’ll be Galahad;
To save all the families and the ol’ grandads?
Well, people are up at the crack of dawn,
There’s gouging and kicking and the triumph of brawn!
Whether you’re at the front or back of the queue,
Everyone’s got the sickness… and it ain’t the flu!
Wonderful light relief Dimitar. Absolute madness but my daughter with 2 kids actually ran out of the stuff and could not get any anywhere in affluent north Sydney.
Her brother in law found some and did a Santa run to save the day.
The SMHerald printed a few blank pages for emergency use.
Wonder how people will react when we run out of bread or milk.
Very nice Dimitar – and do I hear echoes of “The times they are a-changin’ ” in there? :-)
The last line was the kicker, of course, and leaving it there made it strong. And it’s the truth.
The world has been getting sick since WWI – I’ve long said it never finished really – we are still in the social and civilisation break down that it caused. I suspect historians down the years will look back and say
the Anglo Empire civilisation, which had spread around the world – as first the British Empire then the American,- lasting for 300 or so years, was effectively ended in 1918, which collapse lasted just over 100 yrs.
In days of Olde
When Knights were bolde
And Toilets, weren’t invented!
We droped our load,
Beside the roade
And walked away contented.
lol!

Trump Toilet Paper – We Are Going To Make Toilet Paper Great Again!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yz0lrR-tSvY
Time to construct composting toilets if you can….grab that sawdust.
Forget the markets.
Forget the oil price war and the Saudi Prince arresting his billionaire rivals. (boo hoo…such a bad boy!)
Forget the virus.
This Is The Main Event……………… which the above are mere subsidiary predicates of….and that which involves what many of you have wanted to avoid at all costs,as something too Orange and distasteful to even sniff, let alone put it through your cerebral geopolitical “juicer”.
But THIS is TOO BIG to ignore or disparage any longer as some sort of distasteful Pindoland Scuffle of minor importance.
Au contraire, mesdames et messieurs!
I can see this (if all goes well, and Hollywood is flushed) as a Huge, Huge YUGE blockbuster international cinematic Hit Movie …..soon enough.
Rollover, BOND!
Starring the brilliant (former) Cambridge Academic Svetlana Lohkova born in Moscow @ 38 years ago. Emigrated to Britain at the age of 18 and accepted as a history student…at one of the world’s top one or two universities……..enjoying a quiet life as a historical researcher of political intelligence services ………for most of the past two decadesT..but no longer…not in the present……….who got thrust by The Spider’s Web ….into the Spygate Trap.. in a Big, Big, Big, YUGE way since 2016;
Interviewed on today’s Dark to Light podcast:
https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/dark-to-light-with-frank-beanz/e/67894476?autoplay=true
Asked by the head of the History Department at Cambridge to collaborate on many of his researches requiring a Russian native speaker and trained research specialist, she became very respected and loved in that “boring” academic setting most of the world doesn’t give one hoot about.
But Cambridge University History Department was SO proud (some years before Maidan and Russiagate) that one of their own actually discovered (many things are no longer secret…if you go back far enough…) a postcard written and mailed in 1912 by a young Bolshevik revolutionary………..Josef Stalin on the run from and narrowly escaping the Czarist Secret Police…informing ….”in humorous tone” a comrade of his narrow escape.
Intercepted by the police…..the Cheka or whatever..when Stalin lead the Soviet Union….. showed it to him…the handwriting is his………and it was no longer a state secret……but rather a forgotten artifact of history…later digitalized and discovered by the young Russian-born British Subject Historian.
She was of course invited to give a lecture on the postcard in a campus auditorium with a seating capacity of hundreds of students. In the front row of that lecture (or perhaps subsequent ones…..not sure…review the interview) sat, sprawled out fellow “academic” (actually CIA-FBI Obama Deep State Operative) Stepan Halper…………”snoring”.
Many times in small study groups she sat right next to Halper (“a most unpleasant man” per Lokhova) who was always arrogant, rude and totally disinterested in anything she had to say academically or otherwise.
That changes BEFORE the 2016 election.
But before Maidan…in 2014 ….”The most exciting guest lecturer ever to visit the History Department in my time there…” then DIA head Lt General Michael Flynn is guest of honor at a dinner held by the head of one of the 7 “colleges” that make up Cambridge University.
And therein The Spider (the name of her new book, about Halper and Russiagate) began weaving the Web of Lies we;ve had to live with for nearly 4 years.
The Wall Street Journal outs Svetlana as “a Russian Spy who sat next to Flynn at the dinner and soon enough seduced him” (Absolute BS LIES……witnesses and photographs of the dinner show her seated across a big round table from the General….not her idea,,,,Cambridge tradition is that at least one female be seated at the same table as the guest of honor…but she was NOT by Flynn’s side……….her angry husband called WSJ yelling and demanded that the WS Urinal retract and correct…sent them the photographic proof by email…they refused…)and David Ignatius of the Washington Post go “Full Court Press” to oust Flynn…..and try to oust The Donald.
Well worth listening to the very end, folks:
Tracy Beanz meets Svetlana at the recent CPAC conference back east and this interview is arranged.
I think Flynn may have spoken there. His very active son was certainly there.
The President of the United States addressed the Convention.
And another future scene from the movie whose future scenes I am already imagining……..(and more are coming in the rest of March…April…May….a Very Hot Spring and Summer…this is by no means over yet!) played out at that convention last month:
Another Fake Academic….Actual Political Intelligence Operative (Svetlana names him….) from “The Cambridge Club”….identified by Cong Devin Nunes…as the origin of Spygate ……….is in the CPAC audience…..assigned by the Deep State to continued surveillance of our movie script’s Russian/British heroine.
Part 2 with Lokhova coming soon!
I’m ordering her book.
It doesn’t get any better than this. I mean c’mon, already!
Where’s the Russian-English heroine in Corona-gate??? LOL.
So what about Russian economy in a reality of very low oil price era?
https://oilprice.com/oil-price-charts/45
Good question.
$30 or lower is not the price of a great deal of oil in tankers around the world filled last week or the week before……oil in storage tanks in refineries, etc.
Plus who knows how long the price dip will last???
Can you think of anything that might cause it to shoot right back up …or way past $48….before those tankers loaded with $48 oil even unload their cargo???
It is all guesswork, as far as I can see, and while an important Question……I’m kind of doubting it is THE most important question.
But WHO or what is moving this piece on the chessboard, who is weakened the most, who is helped…… whether this lasts a week or a year………..is certainly an interesting question.
Harley deals with relevant aspects quite succintly …in a few short minutes:
https://youtu.be/ejEKn_y3nP0?t=265
A drop in Demand from China….lack of coordination and agreement among the major producers….and the Saudi decision to not cut back…..(and maybe even pump more than in Feb???).
Bro
Harley speaks with such integrity and knowledge…such a rare commodity these days.
Cheers

A quick overnight overview on this thing they call a virus ..
Italy is locked down – the whole of Italy now – closed to tourism – moratorium for people on paying their mortgages
Strict quarantine measures extended to all regions
Public told to stay home
Schools closed until April 3rd
No travel unless with a valid work or family reason
All public gatherings and sports events suspended
Israel – you wanna go there, you will go into mandatory 14 days quarantine – closed to tourism
Britain – rumblings there about cancelling school, football and other public gatherings
Russia – if anyone violates quarantine, they will be fined or put in jail
The WHO – here is their briefing for those that are interested (really, I got bored) – https://twitter.com/WHO/status/1237049051058561024
Latest comment out of China – this guy is a CCP ‘mouthpiece’ but he reflects the formal position of China.
“Obviously we’ve been underestimating the destruction of COVID-19. At first we thought its consequences would be limited to China, now we think it will hit global stock markets/supply chain. But it may have a much broader, deeper impact. We’re at the early stage of a major change.”
https://twitter.com/HuXijin_GT/status/1236921175122407424
In this comment is what those that say ‘it is just a cold’ do not usually get – We are at an early stage of a major change on our planet.
Kunstler says : “We’re in a new world, and one night later, out on the freeway of history, the engine of the global economy threw a rod.”
and
“We’ve apparently entered the hunkering-in-place stage of the crisis. Be prepared for plenty of action when the hunkering ends and the hungering begins.”
https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/things-take-a-turn/
My view simply is that we have to remain vigilant and I keep thinking – whoever survives (whether this turns out to be good or bad), it will be an opportunity to take our world back and re-build it as we would like to see it. So, if there is opportunity for the honest and the honorable and the ethical to serve, or to lead, take it!
The next bit can be classified ‘gossip’ and file under gossip, but don’t forget about these. I don’t have good support for these comments, but they nevertheless bear putting in a file and putting that file in the hopper. (We’ve been waiting for another 9/11, have we not?)
– It appears that Iran is getting their very big death rate under control – I hear that they have fully started using neutraceuticals, herbs and traditional medicines. A Chinese task force is now in Iran, to assist them.
– It appears there are 5 ‘active strains’ to this virus, each delivering a little bit different set of symptoms. They all appear to have race specific characteristics. It appears that they all came from a US military lab, Ft Detric. This lab was closed last August, for ‘failure to follow procedures’. From here, it appears to be that there were early infections in the US, buried under flu stats. No, I have no support for this, excepting whistleblowers working hard and under deep cover and the scientist out of Taiwan.
– In the Max Keiser video posted yesterday, he considers this a War on Boomers, in order to force a wealth distribution to the next in line. Make of this what you wish.
– It appears China is getting ready for a 2nd series of infections.
– For those that are poo pooing this ‘virus’ as just another scare .. uhm. I have never prepared for any of the previous scares. What is clear enough though is whatever your stance on this, none of us will escape the economic consequences to some or other degree. Have ever ever placed whole countries under quarantine for ‘just the flu’?
Something else interesting to me .. China handled this from a centralized management. Italy and Iran is handling it on a centralized basis. The US is trying both. Yesterday Pence said they (being himself and the other elites in the task force) are preparing a US wide response. Before this, all of the numbers out of the US were state based, a decentralized methodology as one can see from numbers reported. Its just interesting, perhaps only for me because social entrainment interests me.
And a little musing, a little philosophy or religiosity or things of the spirit and soul .. this is what operates for me. I am not fearful, and neither am I panicked and rather than fight for toilet paper, I will avoid that specific type of human hysteria. We know our battle is against powers and principalities – but, is the real battle not against death itself? Are there not other deep secrets in being in human body, that we have not even plumbed, or understood?

Best of luck with your great work mate…I am out of here…all of my posts are now being blocked by the moderators to the stage that I cannot even respond to ridiculous ill-founded accusations made against me by a certain very aggressive party.

I have left a message on the last comment of yours from today – there are no other comments from you in spam or trash either – so they don’t seem to have reached the site – please send again. You are not blocked at all. Mod.
Two things happening right now – materially important things ..
1. Xi Jinping, in Wuhan now .. signalling perhaps a ‘tipping point’.
Xi’s visit to epicenter Wuhan heralds new phase in fight against epidemic: analysts
https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1182117.shtml
2. The Russian parliament is not letting Putin go – based on the need for reliability while the world is facing unpredictable risks – applause in the Russian parliament after this proposal and Putin will be speaking to them later in the day.
https://www.rt.com/russia/482733-parliament-adjourns-putin-elections/
And on this very same day .. Tass says : Trump will not come to Russia for Victory Day celebration in May
The Kremlin does not know yet who will represent the US during the celebration events.
https://tass.com/world/1128263
Not surprising.
Every time Trump leaves US soil there is some sort of false flag or new Lamestream Media Fake Narrative launched.
Plus things could change in the next weeks.
Many are saying the Coronal travel restrictions and lockdowns within countries are cover for a massive move against the Deep State (securing the safety of key government operatives such as Gaetz, Nunes, Grassley and many more…..and cutting off the escape of “black hats” …..) but I can’t post that international twitter chatter here publicly because of rules.
Maybe a couple of people will get an email! LOL
Meanwhile I consider what Svetlana Lokhova showing up for the same CPAC convention Trump spoke at just a week or two ago on our eastern seaboard means.
Would you want to be a Russiagating Deep Stater or Massively compromised Presstitute that worked a web of lies with Sir Richard Dearlove (also a regular part of that “Cambridge Club” nest of academics and Empire spies that set up Svetlana, Carter Page, Papadapolous, FLYNN…) just now???
Or Svetana…who was obviously given some ummm…shall we say “official assurances” about travel to the USA last month….by the forces who are now “Rigged For Red” …as they say in submarine warfare …against Halper and his ilk?
OK, Moscow banned all big gatherings. We will have to tell them no to worry, it is only a cover .. Ireland just cancelled St Paddy’s Day parades .. no worries … it is only a cover for removing the deep state and so we can go on…
OK, I’ll stop there but I’m laughing. When is this excuse going to run out?
”The Kremlin does not know yet who will represent the US during the celebration events.”
How about Hillary Clinton? Just for the fun of it.

-case-of-the-disposable-indian-muslim/
INDIA – THE DELHI POGROMS AND THE CASE OF THE DISPOSABLE INDIAN
MUSLIM
At last count, 46 lives have been lost and 200 others had been
injured in some of the worst state-sanctioned violence, targeted
against India’s Muslim community, in decades.
Hemani Bhandari, a journalist from The Hindu who covered the
violence at the beginning of the week, said on Friday that one man
belonging to a Hindu mob told her: “If they [Muslims] want to stay
in Delhi, then they have to go live the way we do,” in reference to
the sentiment that first the protests need to end, and second,
Muslims will need to submit if they didn’t want to perish.
… Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova …
“The Soviet Union was important for more than one generation. I am not ignoring the mistakes, the highs and the lows, but as a whole. It is wrong to paint it only in dark colours. There was a lot of good as well”
“Putin took over a country that was on the brink of disintegration; he rebuilt it, and gave us hope again”
https://www.quoteikon.com/valentina-tereshkova-quotes.html
Yes, and here is some very promising news that I just read (Swedish MSM):
The mood of the Zionazis can readily be imagined.
I can so far only find a few fragments of VP’s speech with English, [Ruptly is only outlet to have the whole thing on YT, but although they give the Headline and summary in English, with logic that totally escapes me, they never translate the video], but I think that to this proposal of Tereshkova VP said there was no objection, but the Constitutional Court would have to examine it and give it’s approval.
So it’s not a “done deal”.
I know VP has said he is not tired of his work, and has no personal desire to terminate it, but still I feel for him. He must want to do things that interest him more, and make a change, if not a break. He’s been there so long, I feel as if the country wants to force him to stay until he keels over. And then what? they have to face a time when he isn’t there, sooner or later. Better to do it sooner, while he’s still around to give off-stage advice and suggestions while the new ruling group learn the ropes.
“He must want to do things that interest him more”
Why do you think he has other things that interest him more?
Hi vot tak,
Why do I think there are other things that would interest Vladimir Vladimirovich more than being President?
Things he has said and done himself really, down the years. In his autobiography “First Person” he states that the job he had before becoming head of FSB and PM – I forget the details but he was in charge of the various oblasts, meeting with their Governors and sorting out issues – was the most interesting of his jobs.
In another interview, he made a statement, in answer to a question about satisfaction at work, that he less likes a job where you are involved in issues of principles, plans that might take 20 yrs or more to come to fruition, conceptual designs, to one where you were involved in making something happen, building and solving problems right now.
I think it doesn’t take much imagination to see which of these descriptions fits being President. You watch him meeting other heads of state, in meetings. He is professionally courteous of course, guarded, a little tense. Then see him in meetings such as a the Open Russia Forums, chatting to the people, laughing, cracking jokes. No issue about who he likes being with.
So I suspect he’d like to go back to something like the PM role, where he goes out and builds bridges, hospitals, like the Dima Rogachev, roads, gas plants, hydro plants, and talks to the people who have problems and solves them for them.
It’s my impression anyway. I really think it would be good if he could go off and do that, and just guide and help the newbie guys to find their way, rather than stay in a job which, frankly, looks to me as if it is boring him to death, and then leave newbies with no mentor to help out,
Pamela’s comment mentioned “the Anglo Empire civilisation, which had spread around the world – as first the British Empire then the American,- lasting for 300 or so years, was effectively ended in 1918, which collapse lasted just over 100 yrs”.
My take is that Anglo Empire Civilization was a quaint misnomer for Talmudic Banking Period.
Starting in 2019, banking period is pulled, settling as high tower dust in its own footprint, to be replaced by Talmudic Rule.
We will see how that one plays out. Final dance of Kali Yuga.
Myself, I will keep my mind and my heart open. Love always wins in the long run, even when end is bittersweet.

Amongst my treasury of books is a title: The Island at the Centre of the World – the epic story of Dutch Manhattan that shaped America
I bought it at the bookstore while waiting for the ferry to take me to the Statue of Liberty.
Double Treasure
Until then I vaguely knew about New Amsterdam and Peter Stuyvesant, because being a Dutch immigrant child in Australia of course Englishness was hammered into us and all other ethnicities were pretty much shamed and blamed at worst, inferior at best.
I agree with your thesis as the Muscovy Co was the foundation of the stock exchange and precedes the establishment of the Bank of England by numerous decades but one can trace the ‘intention’ for domination of our Planet’s resources
PS Katamaranac
I was so busy replying to the historical component that I forgot to draw together the conclusions:
“We are used to thinking of American beginnings as involving thirteen English colonies-to thinking of American history as an English root onto which, over time, the cultures of many other nations were grafted to create a new species of society that has become a multiethnic model for progressive societies around the world. But that isn’t true. To talk of the thirteen original English colonies is to ignore another European colony, the one centred on Manhattan, which predated New York and whose history was all but erased when the English took it over.”- Russell Shorto in the prologue to the above mentioned title, which to me seems to be written with all the author’s heart, mind and soul.
Throughout history it seems the Dutch and English were bitter rivals. And as we know, accepted history is written and propounded by the victors
So yes to Love and Truth and Faith and bittersweet endings
Peace to You
Mathias and anyone else wondering about the oil price drop:
London Paul in the Sirius Report’s podcast episodes 870 and 871 has the most detailed analysis I have seen.
Relevant points:
1) Russia , Paul claims, can sustain a $25-28 per barrel price and keep producing at that level………..for 10 years…quite a bit longer than anyone else…and far longer than Saudi Arabia.
2) However the notion that KSA (MBS and the 80 yr old king) and Russia (Putin) are in some sort of war Paul asserts…is pure nonsense. They have a common aim, and it is shorter term than KSA’s endurance of sustaining such low oil prices: that aim is to Terminate the petro-dollar well before KSA collapses from the strain. If Paul is right this would mean my guess of the possibility of any oil volatility in a short time frame swinging high any time soon…is just an admittedly wild guess from lack of understanding WTF is going on with KSA and Russia.
So my adjusted guess is minimally a number of months..of oil in the twenties or low thirties in dollars…..but not so long as to Kill the Kingdom (one of the patients) but rather…The Cancer…….ie the Petro-dollar’s weakened but still lingering grip on world oil trade.
3) MBS’ uncle (and the king’s own brother ….and his son…I guess MBS’ cousin (both Naefs (phonetically) Paul claims are closely tied to US Intel and the oil frackers that BOTH Russia and MBS intend to sink …and the petro-dollar with it (far more importantly)……and were preparing a coup against MBS…..
That’s the gist. Where Trump versus the Deep State…etc fit into such a scenario …including the western struggle against central bankers ( “Gold Destroys the FED” and such hopeful slogans) Paul has not yet discussed and all of that is terra incognita as far as I am concerned.
I don’t pretend to know or even guess, as I am far more interested in US arrests…..than Arabian ones.
not a good idea to tangle with Zakharova, she destroys British propagandist, um journalist:

(2 minute clip from another site.
Syrian Arab Army SAA has uncovered a factory producing chemical weapons for various shells and delivery systems after liberating most of northwest Aleppo. Since the start of the conflict the terrorist forces of the US empire used larged gascanisters launched from various mortars as improvised weapons that were terrorising the civilian population. Some other canisters of gas that appeared in Syria had been photographed and originated in Turkey, and at some point gas supplies had been traced to a factory in Turkey. So while PressTv claim that the factory even produced gas for White Helmets. This may not be true but it makes the point that White Helmets produced fake videos claiming that the Syrian Arab Army SAA, the government, were using chemical weapons on many occasion, and they left some “evidence” of this at the scene. It was mostly all staged. There is no doubt that the US “leading from behind” occupation of Syria use all kind of terrorism against the people, and while occupied people are imprisoned or subject to severe supression and terrorism.

SputnikNews reports that the Court of MH17 downing goes into recess after only 2 days accused of weak evidence and flawed investigation.

Well, it appears that everything were flawed from the start, and conclusions based on propaganda news evidence and claims delivered from the US NATO CIA conspiracy that in reality were behind it to blame Russia. The history of NATO false flag attacks have been known and apparently originated with Operation Northwoods. Even Wikipedia reports Operation Norhwoods relatively well: “The plan was drafted by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, signed by Chairman Lyman Lemnitzer and sent to the Secretary of Defense. Although part of the U.S. government’s anti-communist Cuban Project, Operation Northwoods was never officially accepted; it was authorized by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but then rejected by President John F. Kennedy. According to currently released documentation, none of the operations became active under the auspices of the Operation Northwoods proposals. ”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods
Lyman Lemnitzer was the Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, and he was transferred into top NATO positions.
“In November 1962, Lemnitzer was appointed as commander of U.S. European Command, and as Supreme Allied Commander Europe of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). ”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyman_Lemnitzer
It is suspected that general Lemnitzer brought the false flag planning into NATO and is linked to Operation Gladio and continues today.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gladio
Coordinated by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), {the secret armies} were run by the European military secret services in close cooperation with the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the British foreign secret service Secret Intelligence Service (SIS, also MI6). Trained together with US Green Berets and British Special Air Service (SAS), these clandestine NATO soldiers .
So in this case Ukraine were full of CIA and Blackwater operatives and mercenaries. Ukraine SBU documents from a whistleblower has also confirmed an ongoing conspiracy with such forces, coordinated with SBU (and the Ukraine State involving military actors , radar, civilian ATC, military air control, and the airforce). There are evidence of what actually happened which has never been considered such as evidence of witnesses who observed at least 2 SU-25 circling under the coming flightpath of MH17. A ground crew weapons support for SU-25 (possibly off-duty on that day but on the scene) observed 3 SU-25 taking off from base, one of them equipped with air to air missiles , similar mission carried out daily for a week or so (russian state attorney office sworn evidence ) (personell escaped to Russia after being ordered to the frontlines in Donbass) , official mission must have been protection of high value targets . So these military attack aircrafts were circling under the coming flightpath of MH17 and dissappeared from the scene.

I graduated from Isaac C, Elston High School, Michigan City Indiana in 1965. I remember that there was a a young man who was a year or two older than I from that school who became General Lemnitzer’s personal aide when the the General was NATO commander, I believe, in Europe. Lemnittzer was a Freemason according to wikipedia and I’m pretty sure this “aide” was a member of DeMolay as were several of my high school friends. DeMolay of course refers to Jaques DeMolay the head of the Knights Templar who were captured of “Friday 13” by the French King and eventually burned at the stake. I did not understand what the Demolay organization was when I was in junior and senior high school but came to know later in life. These young men were “groomed” to be at the “service” of powerful men such as Lemnitzer. They were the “pretty” boys such as the “Cherry Marines” or “House Mouse”. The movie “Full Metal Jacket” is full of homosexual innuendo. I had a chance one on one conversation with R. Lee Ermey, who played “himself” in that movie, at Camp Perry Ohio National Rifle Championships that I was competing in. I came away from that meeting with him NOT liking him. I was a REAL combat vet. He was not. I was Army Airborne in 66′-68′ and naive to such things. One such young man I knew and played 9th year basketball with went on to play at a Jesuit College. After that he became very moody and died young. As i complete my 73rd year of human existence I see much more clearly how the world really works. The world runs on “compromise”.
Secret organizations are not secret because they are unknown, but because they have secret oaths for their members, usually to carry out orders, and to keep everything secret. That is why they are dangerous, in principle they carry out operations and that includes criminal operations according to their degree of personal involvement . They usually receive compensation accordingly, which makes them even more dangerous and what the name secret societies means.
So what do you think of ret. general Jack Keane? He was rewarded the presidential Medal of Freedom by pres Trump very recently. I have listened to him on Fox News on several occasions, he is totally aggressor for the warw and now pushing war with Iran for any reason at all to the extent that he appear to be a living nutcase in the service of the deep state. Apparently he is a Jesuit.
Here is from an interview with Fordham News (Fordham University):
“The way you describe the Army, in terms of opportunities for growth within a strict organizational structure, could also be applied to the Jesuits, I would think. You went to Catholic schools before Fordham, but was Fordham your first encounter with the Jesuits?
I told my new Army friends that after 16 years of Catholic education, the transition to the Army was very smooth! I think of Fordham and the Jesuits as a transformational experience. The rigor of the Jesuit methodology was evident in all classes. What they were least interested in is regurgitation of information. What they’re most interested in is critical thinking based on analysis and some rigorous method of interpretation using reasoning.”
Jack Keane. Snake.
Also, I seem to have read that DeMolay started boys as young as 9.
I had Catholic education 1-8 . An Uncle, mother’s brother, was a Catholic Priest and he died, with another Priest, in a camper truck asphyxiation incident in Arizona in 67′ while I was in Nam. He was not Jesuit order. He was a great fundraiser who would come into a Parish and build a school and move on. I never got wind of any sexual problems. He may have been gay but with other adult priests. He preferred blue jeans and T shirts and damning the creek for swimming holes and was a wild man on an accordion. He was an Army /Captain/Chaplain in WWII in England and named his horse “Captain” at his little cottage on a small lake. I still miss him.
I get it, deMolay is a young boys and girls associations of the Masons, age is from the age of 12 (boys) and the age of 14 (girls) and they observe rituals and secrecy and become servants of the elites already in power.

There is also a direct suriving link to the Knights Templars.
It is known that a core of Knights Templars escaped to Scotland on a ship and later disappeared just as the Illumninati who went underground after being uncovered by the Bavarian Police, they actually continue to this day. night Templar also became known within the Scottish Mason Society, I think it is a 22. degree Mason in the Scottish Rite and is quite common within Masons, and societies has reappeared such as the Yout deMolay International.

Intermezzo
May I share, slightly of the topic, but somewhat relevant, brilliant song by The Police
Spirits in the Material World
There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Our so called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
They subjugate the meek
But it’s the rhetoric of failure
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day
If it’s something we can’t buy
There must be another way
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world…

I’m not a doctor, nor an expert in nutrition, but I find the info about vitamin C very interesting in relation to the corona virus.
It seems Facebook, in it’s arrogance, believes it knows better than the great Linus Pauling, who had ample evidence that large doses of Vit C were essential to combat various ill health states.
It is so typical of the world we have that this man, one of the most important bio-chemists ever, who won two Nobel prizes and whose work not only deduced the secondary structure of proteins but stimulated the work of Watson and Crick to determine the secondary structure of DNA, among many other discoveries, has had his work on the immense value of vitamins discounted by modern medicine which with it’s pharmaceuticals is currently the 3rd biggest killer in US, and actually blocked by FB. !!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Pauling
Yes I have heard of Linus Pauling. He was a great believer in Vitamin C. Anything that would threaten big Pharma has to be censored or attacked. Facebook seems to be allied with those corporate forces.
Sorry about the dead link. Hope this one works;

An excellent writer, screen writer and film maker – he can delineate why fear is something we need to avoid at all costs.
He was also a great speech giver – a sense of humour, information with some laughter. So kick back, maybe get a drink or a snack, and just enjoy.

“he can delineate why fear is something we need to avoid at all costs.”
I dont hear any of that, Pamela
Michael Crichton was pointing out we live in a COMPLEX System World, thus we cannot treat any nature and social issue with linear thinking/solutions. He also said, we cannot control the complex systems, but we can only manage it (as best we can)
Fear is a complex system. I think you will agree with that.
And I think you will agree with me, fear induced by external agents and fear occurred naturally (no agents involved) are vastly different.
So, question for you, Pamela, if you have some time and are willing for an open adult discussion here…
and let’s pick the hot issue here – the Covid-19 fear-viral virus
Q: If the population does not dance to the FF (let’s just say it is FF grade), what is there to stop TPTB to unleash the Real virus and REAL depop?
Q: Do TPTB need us, the sub-human as per their cosmology? When they granted robot citizenship?
Q: FEAR is a complex systems affecting not just the physical body, the heredity gene coding, the frequency of the organs but also the spirits. What’s your cosmology you see TPTB is intending to harvest here?
Q: What do you think we, the sub-human as per ‘them’, have to change and fight back, if that were to be the proper and just response? If both the east and the west of THE PPL, are so programmed, after hundreds if not thousand of years by now? Is not The EGO and The NARRATIVES been long set in stones?
I respect you as a free spirit agent (though I observe there is no freewill in this holographic ‘reality show’) and you are obviously a deep thinker, so let’s hear from you, if you are willing and have some time :)
Thanks for sharing :)
… and be safe there
p/s case for you is, to date, nobody (from my viral research) has actually see the original live virus on TV but there are lots of data points pumping out like hot cakes… and free! This is rather uncomfortable to me…. its like they hose down a child (ON TV) and start yelling chemical attack…
p/s I am not so concern about the viral event that much as fate is fate, but I focus more on the inflicted FEAR as Purposeful Trigger and Systematic Programming unto the populations, possibly for Crowd Control Agenda 2030
p/s my cosmology question is still – What is a ‘human’? If we are not ‘human’, but spirits, what does this bodily-induced FEAR thingy matters?
Oh boy .. last question ? – it matters because fear stops you from walking off a cliff :-)
In my view, the physical human and the metaphysical human and the soup that we swim in together, is not at all understood. Some understand it, but they are probably mostly the meditators sitting on a hilltop in saffron robes existing on a little water and honey in the throat thinking on these things constantly.
To say fear is to be avoided at all costs is psychologically and physiologically very unwise. I would go further than that and find it strange that we have such a ‘fear of fear’ campaign. Crichton is not talking about the fear response that is physiologically hardcoded in every human being (excepting some really psycho ones, who do not have fear but a real talent for self-preservation – one should have a healthy fear of those).
Crighton is talking about (and it is complex) the fear response in humans (a normal and natural and vital and necessary part of our makeup), vs the fear response being used to make the lemmings jump off the cliff. Both staying a little bit away from the edge, as well as jumping off, is a fear response.
Fear is necessary, it saves us daily. Fear also leads to great feats of folks that we later call heroes. The mother that lifts an impossibly heavy weight that fell on a child, the soldier that against all odds saves his fellows with great feats of bravery. Both these have root in fear. It is the ability to respond to fear that makes adults.
Crichton is talking about fear that is not a natural response to our environment, but the fear that is used by social engineers to make us do things that we would not otherwise do with real thinking. You’ve all heard the cry .. What will make us feel safe? And this need to ‘feel safe’ makes one not deal with fear, and makes one fall for the tricks of the powers and principalities. Crichton is saying an acknowledgement and acceptance of the world as it is, and healthy management of fear, is what makes one feel safe. The knowledge (again I have to say both physically and metaphysically) that one is able to deal with circumstances that gives rise to fear is the antidote to fear. Fearing the fear is no antidote at all.
It is clearly necessary to have a level of fear against what we think makes up the rulers of this world today. They have the guns. It is also clearly necessary to have a healthy fear against this piece of current abomination set free in our world. It is also not necessary to stay in fear. Fight/Flight/Freeze is cheap psychology. There are numbers of other methods to deal with the warning that fear brings us as humans. If fear is run away from, and not acknowledged, if the origin is not found, if it is not thought through (say from dreams), if it is not dealt with in the physical and hopefully the metaphysical, that is when you birth phobias designed to keep you hooked on the powerful physical hormonal cocktail released when in fear. It is an addiction.
Fear of fear is a phobia.
Here is a little Krisnamurti on fear – easier to read than to work through the videos.
https://kfoundation.org/the-root-of-fear/
Wow. Amarynth. Fear. You said I touched your heart when I spoke of how exposing my eyes in combat saved my and others lives in tense situations. I Know fear. I had to conquer fear. It was not easy. Part of conquering fear is extreme fatigue. Military planners know this. They kept us tired and slightly starved because our senses were sharper and fear was curbed. The eyes see sharper and the senses are quicker when the animal is hungry. I spent a couple of decades as a Master Rifleman competing at National level and we ate little or nothing on big match days because our eyes would be sharper and heartbeat lower. A full stomach requires much blood and heartbeats. Fear is conquered in this way also. My combat in Nam Regiments’s motto was Nec Asperra Terrent….No Fear on Earth. If you have fear, you cannot fight. Our “rulers” WANT us fearful so that we cannot oppose them. I have no fear. You would see that immediately on meeting.
“Fear is a complex system. I think you will agree with that.
And I think you will agree with me, fear induced by external agents and fear occurred naturally (no agents involved) are vastly different.”
It is either late or early here. It’s that time in a sleepless night when one has to decide “shall I try to sleep, albeit not for long as it’s late – or – shall I decide it’s early in the morning and just get up”. Either way I suspect my mental faculties are not at their best.
Consequently I will answer the above only just now. In re the rest of your points perhaps you would be so kind as to give a key to your capital acronyms. I can’t decipher “FF” right now.
To start with, no, Fear is not a complex system. Fear is not a system at all. A system is a collection of ” a regularly interacting or interdependent group of items forming a unified whole”.
Fear is an animal reaction and one of the two basic emotions on interacting with the Universe, the other being it’s opposite, Love.
However, fear is not a fragmented entity devoid of context – actually nothing is. Fear is generated by something we have perceived, that is we have become aware of as an existent in this space we are ourselves part of, be it my living room here, or the world in toto. However, that “something” whatever it is, in itself does not generate fear. No matter what it is, it is itself, being what it is.
First, in order to feel fear, I have to perceive the existent as a threat – and herein lies the core of the matter.
If I dont perceive an entity as a threat, I shall feel no fear – and this applies equally to your two sub-groups, fear of an external agent and fear occurring naturally – although I feel these are redundant. Fear is natural, in that it is not unnatural. I suspect you are differentiating between fear of a lion looking at you with hunger in it’s eyes, and fear of statements made by governing bodies.
There is, in fact, no difference. Fear is the emotion we feel when we feel threatened either in our wellbeing, or the wellbeing of our loved ones, including that we may lose life itself. However, we can only feel fear if we have perceived the presenting item as a threat.
Thus, the fear is not generated outside of us, but within us. First we must decide that the entity IS a threat.
There was recently a report in newspapers, including photo, of a strange American lady, who had seen fit to climb over a barrier between viewers and lions in an enclosure. She was approaching a lion, making “come to mummy pussy cat” tweeting noises. She appeared to regard it as a rather large domestic cat. The lion was staring at her in puzzled disbelief.
You see, you and I would never do that. Because we perceive that a lion is a threat, and therefor to be avoided. Should it jump a fence and come trotting up to us, we would feel fear and either freeze or run. But this lady presumable would decide to pat it. Of course, Obama had told her she was one of the exceptional people so she presumable felt she was in no danger from a lion. :-)
In this case, What the Regime Rulers want, I suspect, is to manipulate our perceptions so we see the virus as a threat to our lives.They are, in other words, trying to manipulate our thinking and thus our reaction by trying to make us perceive the virus as a threat. They wants us fearful. Not just cautious, taking measures for self protection, and being sensible, but absolutely in fear. This is a state characterised by biochemical changes, outpouring of Cortisol,adrenaline and other hormones, changes to heart rate, Blood pressure and mental status. Chronic fear causing chronic stress leads to not only physical damage, but mental, as in cognitive dysfunction, confusion, and eventually, in some, breakdown.
Thus, if one is making statements leading to fear, one should be very very careful about when, and how to do it.
I am thus suspicious of this generated perception of a threat.
Crichton did talk of complex systems, and he is correct – they cannot be managed or changed, we have to manage ourselves in the face of them. However, he did say we had to stop being fearful, but it’s too late – or early – for me to go looking for his exact words.
I look forward to your response.
I’ll pick up only two.
“To start with, no, Fear is not a complex system. Fear is not a system at all. A system is a collection of ” a regularly interacting or interdependent group of items forming a unified whole”.
Right, and the production of fear within the human body, whether it only prepares for a physical or a physiological response, is one of the most complex systematic responses in the physical body. Things happen in a sequence and there is a system. Consult any good text on anatomy or rather physiology, and what we know of the fear producing system within the human body is complex and systematic just on a hormonal level, and not even blood leaving the organs to flood the stronger muscular structure (people in fear are white faced usually) in order to be able to take physical (or other) action. I’m not even talking about psychological or psycho spiritual effects (or perhaps roots) of this very marvelous system in our being. From people like Bruce Lipton, we learn that before the body complex kicks in, the stimulus is already active in the metaphysical sphere. So, from that perspective, it is the metaphysical, outside the physical, that first gives a warning that a fear response is necessary.
“Fear is an animal reaction and one of the two basic emotions on interacting with the Universe, the other being it’s opposite, Love.”
Fear is clearly a sophisticated response and if it is an animal response, so is hunger. If we have first a metaphysical nudge toward a physical emotional response, the ‘animal’ side of things is very sophisticated, and nothing to trifle with.
If in anyone’s world, your universe gives you the nudge that you have to be awake, even goes as far as to make you fearful, please pay attention. Our universe is not a fool, and does not do this stupidly.
The opposite of fear is not love – those are trite beliefs being seeded into our consciousness so that we do not search deeply. The opposite of being in a state of fear is clearly a state of *not* being in fear which is usually a state of ResponseAbility, i.e., we are able to deal with our world from a mature perspective.
I am here, doing early morning work .. my state is one of *not* being in fear – I am not in fear, but I am not in love either. I’m simply working without fear responses active in this moment because there is no need for a fear response. Love is not an antidote to fear. It is however a methodology outlined by many decent psychologists. (There are not many of them left).
These are complex issues and in my view, we first need to unlearn, sometimes to the level of Jung, (or Krisnamurti who I quoted), in this case Jung, un-knotted every single tie-line that he had to consciousness and to sober sanity, order to experience insanity and the state of fear raw.
A little bit of Psalm 91 is just goodness as well.
What are rational people to do when faced with Covid in its current incarnation? We know people are dying. And blow that whole story of ‘it is the older one’s, so not to worry too much. I love the oldies in my life, and they generally pray for me. I would like to see them go to death with a profound peace, not drowning in run-away lung fluids.
So, we need to stop focusing on the fear mongering – even the fear mongering about fear. Don’t we know that already? Don’t we know that it is the very first arrow in the quiver of those that mean us harm? Do we need to learn that again?
Pamela, I would truly suggest that you go and read what we have done, the ones who got calm and got to work, in the health forum.

Great Awakening
Unimaginable Fear
Overcome by Love
ras
Lets look at this ras.
God’s love calms fear. We know that or perhaps some of us only. But it is not if the things that we fear are taken away from us, it is the fear, and the fear of the fear that we see dealt with in things like Psalm 91.
A mother’s love calms fear when a child starts experimenting with vocalizing and verbalizing the emotion of fear. (Boogeyman under the bed or bad face in the window).
Breathing calms fear. The immune system crashes while in fear or in panic … you breathe shallow when in fear or panic. That is exactly why we were teaching how to do deep breathing here: https://saker.community/topic/1-stay-in-compassion-always-i-do-the-91st-psalm-be-willling-to-serve-2/
Compassion calms fear. The moment one can show compassion to another, you not only deal with your own fear, but a large part of the fear of the other. I have compassion for the oldies in our lives and I appreciate them and I cannot say .. not so important, it is only the old that will die.
Knowledge calms fear. If you know what you are dealing with, and you have the ability to deal with it, the fear dissipates (not disappears). This is exactly why some of us started writing up the combined knowledge that we need in relation to this virus. https://saker.community/forum/health/
A hard stance of ‘there is no fear’, or ‘we have to stop fear’, or ‘we have to fight fear’ or ‘we have to have fear of fear’ does not calm fear. It exacerbates the fear because it does not flow with ‘what is’ – it focuses on fear, instead of a state of bringing those things together for a state of non-fear. Fear is part of us and no struggling in the world will remove fear. We are hardwired in our physiological makeup (psychological makeup as well).
That is why love is not in opposition to fear. It is not an opposite state. It recognizes that as humans we have that and it frequently acts as a warning. Love teaches us how to live with it, to shelter in (in my world God’s arms sometimes with my own great opposition and hitting my own head against brick walls), to obtain knowledge, to breathe deeply because I know what fear does physically, to show compassion and work for the one next to me in these circumstances that we find ourselves.
We are no good to one another if we are fighting fear or fear of fear. There may be a bad virus loose in the world. We need to acknowledge the issues of fear and move on.
I forgot one .. Humor in the right place and the right time just melts fear away.
I have done so amarynth and congratulations on lots of work. I should add, in addition to the “mainstream medicine” Western model as practised by a hospital nurse, I’ve been very interested in alternative treatment for over 30 yrs, so have followed lots of it.
I wonder if you think it worthwhile to include regular meditation? I did a course in TM years ago, but it barely forms much of my meditation now. I meditate most days for about 45 mins, and include the Heart Brain Coherence as part of it.
It was the single thing that made the greatest difference when my Alt Health practitioner and I were working to clear a number of health issues from some years back.
I truly think that many things we use are like a crutch – they support because we can’t stand on our own. If you persist with meditation, you learn to stand on your own.
That’s my major treatment / health maintenance schedule, along with a necessary herbal support because it address a particular issue I have and Ca channel blocker. I learned a bit about ACEII when it turned out i’m allergic to it!!
I think your health forum looks to be very useful to lots of people, and well done putting it together.
Thanks Pamela – it was truly a wide collaboration and I am updating as we go. There is one section to write yet. But, just to be clear, that is not my site or my health forum at all. It is a Saker Site, one of the sister sites. I just look after it as editor. That site was built as companion to discuss those things outside of The Saker’s Blog direct focus.
Here is a little background f.w.i.w.
https://saker.community/2018/05/04/humorous-treatment-of-amarynths-hats/
I see you have not answered the question I sent earlier Mod.
I repeat, I sent some hours ago a response to this comment “the opposite of fear is not love – those are trite beliefs being seeded into our consciousness so that we do not search deeply. ”
Being accused of holding a “trite” spiritual belief.
So I’ll ask – do I have your permission to address it again”?
I find a lot of writing tiring – and hate to put a response together not knowing it if it will get censored.
I would very much like to answer that comment, but wait to receive your permission to do so.
Your comment was sent for review.If it has not been posted yet,either Saker hasn’t reviewed it yet,or it was decided not to post it.MOD
Thanks for sharing your ‘cosmology’ on fear :)
…that gives me (and other readers here) a better perspective on where you are coming from on this virus generated fear you strongly urge us to fight against :)
FF = False Flag
I think fear unfortunately its been weaponized a whole lot more (and they are very good at it) and I differentiate the 2 because I see one as, like ritual where the victim is being tied up, drugged, render lost of control with no escape or put under a entrainment/entrapment and volunteer oneself as the living sacrifice and the later is, like what you said, perhaps run into a danger object but one is still sovereign thus able to react as best they can.
One can go into many directions from here…
A lot of dark places… but I shall stop here (as many of the readers here are gentle souls)
Personally, this viral event, I see it as possibly a very good thing, if the RESET swings in certain way. It appears to me, the nature and market cycle is way overdue for a ‘change of management’, thus the new ‘products’ that comes with the new world. For example, Xi declare this is The PPL’s war and as I follow the Chinese news, I see countless of altruistic sacrifice stories. And now that Xi declare a win against the virus (and the originate source), its a win for The PPL and the Chinese history will record as that. Nevertheless, as in all wars, the winds can suddenly blow the opposite directions and the war, to me, is far from over…
Still Pamela, if indeed the ppl do and able to manage their fear in the face of this viral event, what good can they do? Stock up and go into a bunker and wait for the virus to clear?
This virus, if the data is right, is a silent body-jumper. Thus is can potentially stay with humanity in perpetuity and strikes at mass scale anytime. The west are already peak-individualism as it is.
The way I see it is, since we find ourselves already deep into their ‘showbiz’, there is no possibility we can choose not to play their game. Like we are already birth into this world, with death is the only certain outcome, there is no choice to say, ‘hey that’s my body!’ or ‘Excuse me I worked hard for all that money’ on the force exit. This viral incident bring to us, at least for a lot of ppl in the east, what is of REAL value.
Can majority of the west live without money and off the grid forever after? Or better take the country back from those TPTB? If no, then isn’t that already a threat, thus already would fit your definition of ‘Fear’? The west already lost their sovereignty, every person, even when they are chanting they are the greatest freedom loving country on earth, the virus is merely showing them the REAL fear, which most still don’t get it , that is TPTB can release death on to them at will.
Virus is just the ‘presentation’ tool and mean of manipulation. They could have introduce the aliens threat and it would still be the same ‘fear’.
BUT THIS IS MY POINT – The point is, according to their cosmology, you don’t own your body, your children, your assets, your life. Is that not a threat to fear for? Virus (being released) is just showing how defenceless we are and they are the saviour, or at least controls the valve that can turn on or off the source of the troubles. They alone can ease the pain they cause us. Thus, back to fear, they can control us and our fears.
So how do one fight or escape from that? Thus manage the fear. By sheer willpower or self-mind control?
You do agree the virus is real, right? So the threat is REAL, right? If the virus is real and the threat is real, then the implications and the projections are real, how can we not fear?
And what can we do, with the economy collapse is clearly to be seen. They can just shut down all the banks and access to our bank account anytime. (and they have had plenty of practise) And if I may go abit darker, it could potentially trigger a ‘yard sale’ where country will disintegrate and no more on the map. Such things happens at war time.
There is no way out for a whole lot of ppl. (which would translate to death rate)
This viral incident, I see, is potentially that potent.
That’s how I see it. Dark but I can go way way way darker…
So respecting your mind-field and not to ruin your night/day… I will stop here :)
I dont have a magic pill either unfortunately :(
Thanks again for your reply. Fight we must!
Be safe there
p/s if I am gonna die due to this viral incident, I will die by fighting for toilet paper and lost the war :) I will log off for now… Peace
‘How does one escape from that’ with the same ‘will’ and ‘lack’ of fear that the early christians showed the roman lions……………I think that requires a belief in something more graceful.
Yes, the virus is real, but no, the threat is not real except under certain circumstances. That is a thing that each one of us must decide – “do I come within it’s ambit?”. “Am I older than 60 or 80, with many underlying health issues? If no – then it’s not a threat to me.
If yes, It is a threat to me. Ask myself – So – what do I do? Shall I panic and have hysterics? Well, cant see what good that will do, and it will actually get me exhausted and terrified.
What can I do? Well, here is a place that lists precautions. Food, yes; stay indoors, certainly. rest up lots, sure. have my close family come by to help me, yes. keep warm and dry, and entertained to keep my mind relaxed. And find things that make me laugh. OK, I’ll do all those.
And if all my efforts are in vain and I get it – I’ll get myself to a hospital asap ++
And if then, with all my will to live and fight this thing, I die – then it was time I went; this date was written for me a long time ago, even before I was born, and I am going back to the God-head I sprang from, which will be a source of joy.
Right. All sorted.
@Pamela
Your intuitive, relaxed and intelligent voice here has brought a much needed blast of invigorating, feminine fresh air, where discussion, like the air, is free and open to share in a moveable, somewhat variable feast… Do you live in Australia, if you don’t mind my asking ?
Ras
Thank you for your kind comments. May I ask what is “Ras”. since you sign in Anonymously, I take it it is not a name.
No, I dont live in Australia any more, although I did for many – too many – years. I am Cymraeg and went to school in England, moving to Australia in my early 20’s.
I now live in Ecuador because I dont want to be in Australia and cant so far get to where I want to be :-)
Ras is short for Raskolnikov and sometimes I sign in with this. He is protagonist in Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, the name meaning schismatic. It is about sensitive femininity meeting evil, of which sensitive souls cannot but observe.
I do understand the position in being unable to get to the place where one would be happy.

The point is that fear responses are engineered as highly efficient methods of control. We all know this, i.e. fear exerts paralyzing responses negatively affecting clear thought.
A perfect distraction tactic, while other activities are unfolded, prepared, resumed or gathering momentum, while passing unnoticed by the so called ‘unwashed masses’…
Fear is a tool, might it prove wise to analysis the motives driving it’s use ? I would certainly be appreciative and grateful for any insights and analysis that lead to further understanding of these possible motives.
This site is gifted with intelligent minds, and chiefly about more geo -political analysis (I think) I have about 30, no exaggeration, alternative, complementary health practitioners and specialists in my area, but the political health benefits of truth are not so well represented unfortunately ; (

Human beings are prey to auto-intoxication, not only physically, but psychically, the worst being fear, anger, worry, envy and so on. The negative force, and its agents, through constant ‘top-ups’, keep the individual in a state of imbalance. One of the best ways to keep fear at bay, is to create a strong outflow, and we can achieve that by becoming good at something. This grounds us, makes us vigilant, etc. in effect replacing the passive state of being effect, ie; fear, with a dynamic state of taking command of one’s state of consciousness. The world sets a standard that it then demands we ‘live up to’, and of course, if we don’t, we suffer censure, disapproval, fear of becoming outcast, etc. All of this wreaks havoc with the individual, but these are simply some of the lessons we need to master; we need to remember that all experiences are to make us strong spiritually, or some might say, a whole person.

Yusuf/Cat Stevens; “One Day at a Time”
You know, while I was working in the kitchen, fixing pet evening dinner, I realised I had a song running through my mind. I stopped to listen as I’d been thinking of the PTB using the panic and fear they have generated to blind the masses to the reality of something; it’s like the stage magician and his powers of distraction – look over here, so you dont see what I’m doing over there.
This was the song my mind was telling me they are doing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW3MIixEps4
“The point is that fear responses are engineered as highly efficient methods of control”
Yes, and they work, horrifically.
The thing that does bother me, is that this “first we confuse you, then we terrify you” isn’t the last stage of the treatment. That comes when the majority have hit the stage known as “learned helplessness” and giving up.
They showed this with some truly nasty experiments they carried out dogs.
First they trained them to obey certain responses as part of normal life. i.e. hit the bell, food comes. roll over – get patted. etc. [I cant remember the exact stimulus – response, these are illustrative of principle].
Then, when the dogs were confident they knew where they were and what to do – they changed them. The bell didn’t deliver food, but a shock!!
Then they started switching green light product and red light product. The dogs became very confused, and then just gave up.
They would sit huddled in a corner. They were totally completely passive. They wouldn’t even eat food given to them. They were, in fact on their way to dying, until the experiments were forced to stop for animal ethics reasons. It took months to even start to reverse the damage done.
And that’s where we just might be heading.
First stage : all Anglo-Euro nations have had their sense of National Identity destroyed. Invasion by alien cultures, rampant crime, reversal of justice systems, introduction of insanity i.e. transgender [recently the UK National Health sent out a pamphlet about getting the cervical smear test for an early detection of cervical cancer test, specifying what transgender “males into ersatz females” should do. They dont have a cervix. They forgot to even mention what normal women should do. When this was pointed out, they referred to – No, not women, but “people with a cervix”. !!! ].
From National identity developed when young, we form personal identity in our teens – well it starts then. It leads to “this is who I am. I know who I am”. These days, just about no-one in the Anglo Euro Empire has any sense of this. Without either National or Personal identity, which is what gives us our anchor, our rock, our strength to face the adversities of life and fight them, people become “a person of straw, blown any way on the wind, as they have no anchor”
Second stage : Fear. The now anchorless masses are subject to constant attacks on their sense of security, a vital component for the stable, thinking person. They are constantly assailed by threats, fears. from 9/11, the “Arabs and Muslims”, to Russia Russia Russia, “election meddling” Russia bigger than ebola [another fear factor], Chinese invasions, Iranians, now the Common Cold turned into a massive world wide killer, – we see how few seem to have maintained a balance, and gone anal crazy stocking up, not on food but on toilet paper. Rats subjected to a similar experience of cramped city living did a similar thing, they would bite of each others tails and store them in their own sleep space, a thing no wild rat does.
Third stage”: learned helpless and giving up – here the people will say “resistance is useless; we can do nothing, maybe even what they say is right, I dont know, i dont care, i’m just going to stay in bed all day and not move”.
And thats when the PTB have won .
Want to fight them and be free? Work to stay healthy – dont wait for a panic driven epidemic, it’s too late then.
Stop yourself smoking and doing drugs [if you do], eat a healthy diet with NO junk fast food or drinks; exercise even if you only walk or garden; meditate in whatever fashion seems good to you, learn to find outlets away from TV, like reading, maybe painting, find a hobby, and – so important – learn to laugh and find happiness as a state of mind.
And then – flatly refuse to be frightened of them and the lies they tell, examine everything they tell you, and reject where you find it to be correct to do so.
Never ever be in fear.
and keep repeating the New Mantra for the rebellious healthy person: Keep calm and think for yourself.
I have to say, I’m sorry but I dont quite understand your questions; but I dont think that the Coronavirus 2019 is a False Flag, not in the way the Gulf of Tonkin incident was. I suspect that it was a normal mutant variant which happens in nature all the time, and the PTB used it along with Rahm Emmanuals’ “never let a crisis go to waste”.
It could have been isolated from a normal population and grown to high concentration then released, of course. I dont think we can rule that out. By whom is another matter, but I have to say, that the nations of the Pacific Orient are not in the habit of conducting such False flags, or deliberate manipulations. However, the Empire is. We saw the terror generated over “Weapons of Mass Destruction” when the PTB knew full well there were none. We’ve seen so many lies, manipulations, fear-porn campaigns, “election meddling”, Putin is planning to destroy us. Russia is our biggest threat, bigger than ISIS or ebola – note the inclusion of a scare infection there, too.
So – I think it’s a strong possibility that it was caused to make a huge panic, for some reason we can’t see, and the way to fight that is to refuse to panic. Refuse fear. Fear will mess with your mind, your body, your health. Let them drive you into fear, and they’ve won.
Now, why do we have fear if we are in spirit form? We have fear because we are here to do something, learn something, help someone. If we all just keep dropping dead we will never get around to achieving our lifes’ goal, in this incarnation. Fear keeps children from dying before reproducing as they learn “the burnt child fears the fire” we say for example. Fear of death or disaster keeps us trying to live to hopefully achieve the end we came here for.
But it should always be under control. Fear is a warning – it’s often our mind saying “hey, somethings wrong” and we decide, is this rational, should I act on the warning, or is it irrational and I will take no notice. It was fear that gave me a warning once, and which I heeded, and luckily [I have a very present and protective Guardian Angel] managed to just save myself from what would have been a very very nasty situation.
Even in body form, we still need to find ways to live long enough to achieve what we are here for.
It informs, but we must never, ever let it govern us and decide for us. And never, ever, let it keep us from seeking and trying for Love.
@Pamela
Like the song running through your mind…
FF is the Stage magic show (which is magic ritual to them)
And panicky FEAR is their magic wand/spell.
The virus is the ‘presentation’ that is the ‘look here’.
Now realised then TPTB has just pull one massive ritual show on all humanity all countries…
Is that no the REAL threat? therefore REAL fear?
Not the virus, but thier ability and willinness to unleash death on everyone…
I have deleted a whole chuck of my darker thoughts here…
but pls know there are plenty of agents working, seen and unseen.
Good to read your thoughts and reply.
There is much to do around here. I will excuse myself again.
Be safe there…
My response to this marvellous ‘talk’ is very different to others here
What a uniquely amazing classy man was Michael Crichton: he Loved, Lived, prodigiously Produced then Checked Out
I did go to see Jurassic Park at the cinemas but was far too involved with my own projects and battles at the time, to research wider.
So I knew nothing about the man until I watched this talk linked by Pamela. I was enthralled, then went to DuckDuckGo to find out more about the person. Only to discover he passed away in 2008.
Seems to me he was hung up about nothing. Not only that, he enjoyed himself immensely doing his work.
He got into the complexities and came out the other end in simplicity
A complete inspiration for Truth-telling
His star shines very bright
Thank You Pamela
My pleasure Babushka, I agree, he was one very classy man.
I think you would enjoy his autobiography, or the nearest he came to writing one. it’s more a collection of essays of different parts of his life, which he remembered strongly.
I should add, I’m an autobiography “freak” always have been. I love to learn from the lives of interesting people who have achieved much.
He described his early years as a medical student. He talked of making the film “The Great Train Robbery” in Ireland and the lesson he learned from Shaun Connery. And most interesting of all to me, was a session of a few weeks he spent on a very “New Age” course being run in the high desert of the South and his interaction with a particular cactus – it’s actually very touching. It is called “Travels”.
He was a very sensitive man, I think, and gave me the impression of someone aware that they were on a “journey” in life, He seemed always to be searching. He was married – I think 4 times – and I always hoped for him, that he found what he was looking for in his last wife. They certainly seemed very happy together.
Just a quick reply:
acc to Wikipedia MC was married five times
His 5th wife was 6 months pregnant with his only son so he has an heir plus a daughter with one of the earlier wives
I was not surprised to learn that People voted him one of the world’s top 50 beautiful people.
I will look for Travels

Whitney Webb and Web of Lies in Afghanistan by Tom Luongo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2M-Jn8ikYY
This week I sit down for a chat with investigative journalist Whitney Webb to discuss here latest work uncovering the history of the recently announced U.S./Taliban Afghanistan peace deal. Whitney does a fantastic job of breaking down the major players, the likelihood of success and what the real motivations for the U.S. in signing this deal are.
From there we take the discussion global to cover the political and economic consequences to the coronavirus outbreak and to what extent governments around the world will use this as an excuse to impose new draconian controls over their populaces.
Finally, in the last section we take some time to reflect on how all of this effects the current panic in the equity and dollar-funding markets.
Fear, where there is no fear.
Here are some ideas on the “carnivore-virus”, that I did not invent:
—it’s a weapon of the deep-state new world order
—introduces mosaicism/chimerism into host tissues
—infection is unavoidable can lie dormant until activated
—chronic re-infection like a plague or wasting disease
—beginning of unmasking of the powers that rule over us
To quote John Krestiankin: God rules the world. Just God, no one else.
(and the wisdom of God is foolishness to men . . . )
Amarynth has my admiration for resilient refutation of the fear-brigades who are hard at work, and have laid a groundwork prejudice and ignorance beforehand, to now reap human freedom —because we lose all freedoms when fear rules our hearts and minds.
@ ChrisK
A certain friend of mine, in a certain country way back in the days when bus drivers still took the cash for passengers tickets, while chatting on our journey and after casually observing a ticket inspector board the bus and walk slowly down the isle checking passengers had their tickets, said to me me in her usual, objective, matter of fact manner, how much she had always detested those employed to monitor others, meaning any system established for the benefit of all, in this case people whose intent was simply to reach their destination in the required way.
Can you guess who that friend was, and why I always remembered what she said ?
Reading through this Cafe, my feeling of intense joy and gratitude for many posts aside, I am reminded, time and again, of the importance of understanding the material from the following link:
https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/ctudv8/cointelpro_techniques_for_dilution_misdirection/
To Saker and all other truth seeking Falcons on this page, many heartfelt thanks.
Thanks so much for this .. its good to see the updates and now only did I grab it and made a pdf out of it. Really good piece of work.
That is an eye opening document indeed. How pervasive and established is fraud and hypocrisy, lies, lack of discernment, moral bankruptcy and with it, emotional sentimentalism posing for lack sincerity and spiritual truth.
Having read that, I am far closer to understanding how the internet corrupts the values mentioned above, and why people can’t accept this, and question, fight and hold on to what is morally grounded.
Sincere thank you for this great comment and link from Katamaranac friend.
Report from weaponized viral pneumonia hot spot, N. California:
The social committee meets tonight to cancel the St. Patrick’s day party, and, to discuss the future. As the most outspoken person and the secretary of the group, I have been told by the President to “make sure you take good minutes” ! I always do so. So what is up? What is she really saying? By the way, she is terrified of the situation.
My job is to tell people without scaring the pants off them just what might well be ahead so I am contemplating how to do this effectively. Most people have no idea what is required in a quarantine and that we are going to have to have an ad hoc committee to interface with whatever bureaucracy will be enforcing it in order to represent the needs of our community especially the most vulnerable and isolated ones. ( those with no relatives nearby to drop off supplies or to pick up prescriptions)
The problem is that a group of older people ( we are a community of aged over 55) is that we are seen both as
a possible patients/victims of this pneumonia as well as a nexus of infection. Not going to say that. sigh keep it simple. Start with what they can easily do to protect themselves. Don’t confront denial mechanisms and don’t become the focus of negative projection. i.e. the all too human tendency to kill the messenger.
I do suspect that only the stalwarts of the park will come so maybe 10 people out of 250. From the Front Lines.
I wish you the wisdom of the ages, and the agility of young deer :-). You can do it! First, take care of yourself because you are no good to anyone if you don’t care for yourself.

Well, these folks are so anti-Muslim that I am loath to post this except that the Pope, who ran around kissing people in a different kind of flagrant disregard of the virus, most likely has it also ( he was tested too soon for any kind of true verification one way or another).

But
Upon consulting Hafiz of Shiraz….I found him pertinent but much kinder:
#318 ( trans. Paul Smith). Divan
“… When passing through the street of our Beloved, be very careful,
for if not, by wall of Beloved’s street, your head broken will be
O heart, although company of health may happily come to you,
there is no doubt you will take the road to the True Territory.
While the Sufi from being slightly drunk tipped cap to one side,
with two more cups his turban will unwind and be falling free.
Heart of Hafez that has become accustomed to Your presence,
do not think of tormenting…for it has been blessed with Unity.”
dear teranam 13, your Hafiz “passing through the street of your beloved” I felt homely in the poem.
and your “I think that the Intelligent power of the universe has scant tolerance of a certain kind of fool.”
has a grip on me on the day I’m tuned to the vineyard cafe corner with my weekly “calendar”

Well I wanna stop and talk wit you
Wanna tell you how I come along
I know you’ve heard about Joshua
He was the son of Nun
He never stopped his work until
Until the work was done
God knows that
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
You may talk about your men of Gideon
You may brag about your men of Saul
There’s none like good old Joshua
At the battle of Jericho
Up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with spear in hand
Go blow them ram horns, Joshua cried
‘Cause the battle is in my hands
God knows that
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
They tell me, great God that Joshua’s spear
Was well nigh twelve feet long
And upon his hip was a double edged sword
And his mouth was a gospel horn
Yet bold and brave he stood
Salvation in his hand
Go blow them ram horns Joshua cried
‘Cause the devil can’t do you no harm
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
Up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with spear in hand
Go blow them ram horns, Joshua cried
‘Cause the battle is in my hands
Then the lamb ram sheep horns began to blow
The trumpets began to sound
Old Joshua shouted glory
And the walls came tumblin’ down
God knows that
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
Down, down, down, down, down
Tumblin’ down

“When the storm breaks, each man acts in accordance with his own nature. Some are dumb with terror, some flee, some hide. And some spread their wings like eagles and soar on the wind.”
Composers can rarely describe their inner-most thoughts and feelings in words. However, the quote above beautifully matches up with what HAVASI had in his mind when he wrote ‘The Storm’.
‘The Storm’ has become the most loved of HAVASI’s compositions. Whether it is performed in a solo piano concert or a huge arena show, it is always a highlight, richly applauded by the audience.

Right on … OK guys, I never work in the Cafe … I come here for the poets, and to Shoot the Sh!t, and to relax and to chat about serious and life changing happenings. But now I have to work a little.
A little much work for our moderators is being generated from the Cafe. We have a lot of new posters throughout the site, so, let’s be fair to the mods who are making the best calls that they possibly can. You may not agree with them – but you also may not argue – they have no time for arguments and bluntly, they don’t owe you any answers. Be kind to the mods – they are truly our lifeblood. Don’t ask them to take your pretty little buns/(add word to your own liking) out of a fire of your own making :-)
Kindly refrain from writing anything that the mods may have to edit, just because they are exceedingly kind and like to approve posts and will edit them, if that will save them. Let’s give them a break already and give them content that they can easily approve.
There sometimes also are technical gremlins, and posts sometimes do not reach through the wires, and get lost somewhere. So, if you know your post was clean, upon respectful inquiry, the mods will tell you if there was technical gremlins assuming your inquiry makes it through the wires. Something goes wrong, assume technical gremlins first and give it a bit of time.
Kindly focus on issues and not on people. Debate issues. I’ll quote a piece from the Saker here:
2) All comment have to be courteous to me, the blog’s author, moderators, any guest author and all the other commentators. You are welcome to criticize and even attack ideas, but not people. You are also not allowed to try something like “you are only saying this because…”. You are not God, so you don’t know why a person writes something.
Let’s be clear on what is an ad hominem, and what not. Polish up the debate skills and leave the straw man arguments for those that hang on Zerohedge and those places. Heaven knows, but this year 2020 seems to very heavy from all sides .. we could all do with polishing up the reasoning and logic and analysis as well. Don’t assume that if your ideas or arguments are debated or critiqued, that it is you that is being critiqued. We need to deal with ideas and not beat up people.
Deal? Dear cafe dwellers? We’re going to be more attentive to *not* giving the mods extra work and demand answers from them? No flame wars, debate issues and not people, and give me a break so that I don’t have to work here in the cafe, but can come here for the poets and to Shoot the Sh!t, and to relax and to discuss life changing happenings. We’re truly into those now. But I am also here as an anti-empire warrior and this is one of the few last clean sites left, that do that.
(ioan, are you pouring anything. like burgundy for breakfast? :-)

I have on two occasions now seen a response to my comment that carries what I feel was something of an insult. Either to me or to others I respect.
I did respond with considerable restraint, but my response has never been published.
I have not been given a reason, or any information i.e. I have forwarded your comment to Saker, etc.
This leaves the very unpleasant feeling that I can be insulted, but I cant defend myself.
I have seen others get angry about this too.
It truly is not a nice feeling, especially if one feels one is defending oneself from something said by a writer who appears to have a special place at the Vineyard.
So – could you have a rule, that any attack published must carry the defence unless [the defence is bad, full of insults and bad language of course].
This seems only fair – and could ameliorate much angst.
Pamela, the answer is no. This to and fro stops here. If you were the last in line, my sympathies.
I would suggest that everyone who has ruffled feathers, must now please unruffle the feathers and carry on with respect this time. The request here is not to waste any further mod time.
Have fun, don’t waste the time of the people running this blog. State your ideas, work with other ideas, learn, be damn good humans. Directly stated, we are in ‘The Saker’s House’ and have to abide by his rules.
I would like people to take this request seriously. Ban requests have been approved. It is only me and my ‘soft heart’ that is saving your bacons and only in the Cafe. Come-on folks ..
Capisce. (In a minute I’m going to drink the cooking rum!)
Great comments Amarynth. Agreed, let’s leave the nastiness to the ‘Hedge. Poor Hedge. I feel for them.
For the “I’ve got mine, screw you” capitalist top-of-the-heap crowd, there’s not a lot to like this week.
How ’bout them “markets”? Maybe they were over- “valued” all along? Who woulda thunk?
Dave Salmond: No worries. I have it on good authority that several million people got drunk last night.
Skol to all, it is not breakfast here but I am breaking my rules and drinking mezcal.
No amarynth, I’m usually pouring tea, having to cure myself for a while (no, not flue but something the men have problems with at this age)

For me, the most beautiful patriotic poem that Miklos Radnoti wrote.
Its Hungarian title is: I cannot know…
Miklos Radnoti – January 17, 1944
I cannot know…
I cannot know what this land means to other people.
For me, it is my birthplace, this little nation embraced
by flames, the world of my childhood rocking in the distance.
I grew out of her like a tender branch from a tree
and I hope one day my body will sink into her.
I am at home. And if a shrub happens to kneel down
beside my foot, I know both its name and its flower;
I know who walks on the road and where they are going,
and what it might mean when in the summer sunset
the house-walls shimmer and drip with crimson-agony.
For one who flies above, this land is merely a map,
and does not know where lived Vörösmarty Mihály,
what does this map hold for him? factories and wild barracks;
but for me crickets, oxen, steeples, peaceful homesteads;
he sees factories in his lenses and cultivated meadows,
while I see the worker too, who for his work trembles.
Forests, singing orchards, grapes and cemeteries,
among the graves an old woman who quietly weeps.
And what seem from above train tracks to destroy
is a conductor’s house and he stands outside and signals;
many kids surround him, a red flag in his hand,
and in the courtyard a komondor rolls in the sand;
and there’s the park, the footsteps of long-lost loves,
the kisses on my mouth both honey and cranberry.
And walking off to school on the edge of the road,
to avoid being called on, I stepped on a stone;
look, here’s the stone, but from above, this cannot be seen,
there is no machine with which all this can be revealed.
For we are guilty too, as other peoples are,
knowing full-well when and how and why we’ve sinned so far,
but workers live here too, and poets, without sin
and tiny babies in whom intellect will flourish;
it shines in them and they guard it, hiding in dark cellars
until the finger of peace once again marks our nation,
and with fresh voices they will answer our muffled words.
Cover us with your big wings, vigil-keeping evening cloud.
Translated by Gina Gönczi
———————————————-
Another translated version, titled: I can’t tell…
I can’t tell…
I can’t tell what this land could mean for someone else,
for me it is my homeland, a tiny place, up in flames,
it’s the ever rocking cradle of childhood memories.
I grew up out of all this, a twig out of the tree,
and I hope it will be this soil where my body returns one day.
I am home here, and when a bush kneels at my feet,
I’ll know it by its flowers as well as by its name,
I know who they are on the road and where they’re going,
I know the summer sunset’s painful red walls in the glow.
From their planes, flying above it, they’ll see it as a map
having no idea where that Hungarian poet lived
what’d they see on this map? factories, army camps?
for me it’s grasshoppers, cows, friendly towers, ranches,
through their telescopes it’s factories and fields,
but I see working men, working in that field,
I see forests, orchards, vineyards and lonely graves,
I see an old lady there who solemnly grieves,
what’s bombing targets for them, railways or factories,
it’s the house of the track-watchman and he’s watching a train to leave,
a red flag in his hand, around him children play,
and I see the playful dogs too in the yards of these factories;
and there’s that park, holding footprints of old time rendezvous,
those kisses I can still taste, some of them really felt luscious,
and on the way to the school, on those bright and sunny days,
I’d step on this stone of the curb just for good luck’s sake,
that stone is here, you see … but for them it’s imperceptible,
from above no device can make this discernible.
And we are guilty just like the other nations here,
we know our crimes correctly, when and what we did,
but there are workers here as well, poets who never sinned,
sucklings, bright and new minds, all ready to spring,
they keep it in dark basements, the brightness of their minds,
until white feathers of peace mark afresh our sky,
our stifled words will then be answered by their shout
Holy guarding night cloud, spread your dark wings above us!
Miklós Radnóti, January 17, 1944

This cafe has had 4050 viewers and 192 comments by seemingly well known and loved posters.
I am convinced this twice weekly joint is watched avidly by viewers for its latest news and views updates, its hilarious episodes of self righteous justifications, holier than thou sermons, back tracking, back stabbing, woeful whimsies, political in-house jottings and jostlings, adventures of the errant and foolish, poets corner brillante, and the latest intrigues concerning poems and comments sent to Saker for trashing without explanation.

low maintainace-suits me fine-almost like fine wine-I can’t spell.cant write,gotsa google everything now.Pretty much screwed by my own devices.Ain’t gonna jump in a lake-i miss Lisa so much -I want to go with her-I ain’t putin this on Facebook
you are the moderator nice one-Anon-what’s your point?Luv Y’all
Well put ras, where ya been? There’s certainly nothing like it on the internet.
“There’s certainly nothing like it on the internet.”
the internet is stuffed full of back stabbing, holier than thou emotionalism and the catch phrases and fake adopted spirituality, wordery and tactics of Googlerism, i did not mention above, but they rule the roost here it seems, and by the time they are circumnavigated by the intrepid or blind, the 17 rules of things not to be discussed have been adhered to, and comments and poems are still trashed, without explanation, then one really gets the idea of what one is dealing with.
it is not to saker’s benefit in the least,
never mind, he will learn, and we are (some of us anyway :( still here.
luv ya

The political outfall of Covid19 now reaching unpresidented levels. If we think about a bioweapon, it is now a political weapon. The Spokesperson and Deputy Director General, Information Department, Foreign Ministry in China has just tweeted out the following:
Lijian Zhao 赵立坚
@zlj517
1/2 CDC Director Robert Redfield admitted some Americans who seemingly died from influenza were tested positive for novel #coronavirus in the posthumous diagnosis, during the House Oversight Committee Wednesday
https://twitter.com/zlj517/status/1238110160884625409
and
Lijian Zhao 赵立坚
@zlj517
2/2 CDC was caught on the spot. When did patient zero begin in US? How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals? It might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data! US owe us an explanation!
Many of us have talked about the economic fallout, but here starts the political fallout. The Chinese are very angry because of the terrible level of blame and invective toward them from the US. If you go to those tweets, he has the support in videos. The Chinese have long said that the US knows more than what they’ve been saying. This is actually quite a thing .. patients tested for influenza and who died from it, were tested after death, and found to have COVID19 virus infection. So, the Chinese quite rightly asks how long this has been happening in the US. The testing in the US tests for influenza first, and if found, they don’t test for COVID19.
Please watch the short video on the tweet.
I call it the Lingering Sickness, of all the times I have been sick, this thing lasted over six weeks. Had to take antibios (two bouts) and anti virals. I thought my case was unique, drove off the road in storm, walked the three miles home in -35 wind chill weather. At 60 and still fairly robust, I didn’t give it a second thought, guess I’m getting old. Three weeks off work, wife got sick, kid got sick, Opa got sick………..unfortunitly Opa, after leaving the ER with a mild case of pneumonia and a ‘don’t worry you’ll be fine’ died on the 30 min drive home (sureal story for another time).
After getting back to work, turn out lots of people have had the Lingering Sickness, many of the same symptoms, the weirdest (among others) being the Micky Mouse voice. I’m still not 100%, but at least Micky is gone.
I have said all along the virus was out and about long before Nov. most cases (all) written off as ‘the flu.’ Who was testing for CV-19 prior Wuhan? The only common denominator for it first showing in Wuhan and it spreading to places that had no contact with Wuhan was the Military Olympics. And now we find out it’s been in the US for a while. Hmmmmmmm!
‘Tis all bollocks until the boys sort themselves out-dinna worry lassie-you ken what you mean -that should be good enough for us all-in case of mistransltations-you know what you say -and I automaticaly agree-my life in my youth was totally involved with my mothers work the in potato and raspberry fields of N.E.Scotland-I strayed.spellchecker works fine.
amarynth
Also some very comprehensive info on CV-19 with a critical care perspective from a family member who is a highly qualified practicing nurse…just thought this might be useful for you with your work.

@ Col…’the farmer from NZ’
This is VERY informative and up to date! Best so far I have seen!
Pls consider to repost in the New Cafe or even seek to publish as a article on Vineyard.
Be safe there
?
Will do!
Be safe where you are too.
This is now moving at a frightening pace in spite of the nay-sayers denials…one in particular LOL…actually it is not a LOL situation at all… it is now far too serious and out of control!
Cheers

Once upon a time
I worked in a Child Guidance Clinic within the state department of Health
We were meant to work in multidisciplinary teams for the good of children and their families. The various professionals were intended to deliver a broad range of checks and balances via diverse specialties
Great and honourable in theory
What in fact happened, was what can be seen in this Café, with many good people just walking away, having been rendered voiceless and worthless – powerless, by those with the biggest sticks.
What happened to the children? Look all around you at our so/called western civilisation.
It’s a haunting tragedy
Agree Babushka – we have a whole Empire of children with no sense of National Identity, no sense of Personal identity, being blown on the wind like straw bales – and no sense of anything having point either.
I guess I’ll try a bit more, but the next time I get my spiritual belief spat on or be told I’m comparable to an incompetent idiot for a view I hold, but my rebuttal is censored, that will be the end for me. I’ll just pack my bags and go.
Some times it takes a bit to type – especially if you have arthritis in your hands. There seems little point in expending all that effort just to get it ditched because someone you cant know decided they didn’t like it!!
As you say, It’s a pity.
I will take up your suggestion about writing some vignettes about Ecuador – maybe even some other places where things happened. But I might put them up on my own blogsite!! :-)
Stay well dear. Incidentally did you see a piece done by the ABC – my brother sent it via Facebook and I have no idea how to “lift” a FB piece and put it somewhere else.
It’s a satirical take, to The Man from Snow River – I think – but definitely Banjo Patterson – called “The Ballad of Dunny Roll”?
One thing I do like about Australia is it’s sense of humour when at its best.
