The EU Should Issue Perpetual Bonds
Apr 20, 2020 | by George Soros
The disruption in the European Union caused by the COVID-19 pandemic should be temporary, but only
if EU leaders take the extraordinary measures needed to avoid long-term damage. Fortunately, there is
an easy, fast and low-cost way to finance the proposed €1 trillion European Recovery Fund.

Maria Farmer dives deep in interview by Shaun Attwood. More and more layers of the onion peeled away, revealing something very near the truth.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hkh86BgsQKg
One thing you can’t call her is calculated. Her story is consistent. This is not the overblown drama queeniness of 4chan and the anons; the reality revealed is dreary and cold and all too real. No “white hats” in sight, sad to say.
Even London Pill admits they exist. Though he can’t relate at ALL to the 17 thing.
But London Paul explains that they don’t go on you tube…nor MSM.
But they might be the reason that Epstein, Weinstein, Keith Raniere and more to follow in the kind of thing Maria is coming forward on…..have been taken down and that more victims are getting feistier…with a bit more protection…than the virtually ZERO protection any of them had in prior decades.
Or maybe there is no cause at all ….just randomness ( or luck….lol….???) for the distinct change in the last 2 years or so???
The old article more than a year before 17 appeared: https://www.thesiriusreport.com/geopolitics/white-hats/
Paul’s wife Lisa writes:
“First of all, in our opinion the term ‘white hats’ isn’t very accurate, because this is most commonly used to refer to so-called good guys in the Pentagon. The reality is that most of these people operate not in the US, but in other parts of the world. Also, we find that a lot of information that has come out in the alternative media regarding the actions of these supposed white hats is questionable to say the least. Hardly have any promises or predictions from these white hats actually come to pass.
Furthermore, it should be noted that the real ‘white hats’, meaning people around the globe who are taking action against the cabal, operate like ghosts. These people don’t exist. This doesn’t mean they literally don’t exist, but what it means is that they are extremely obscure and do not like to be referenced. They go about their business quietly and don’t make a big fuss about it. It’s not an ego trip for them. Most of us are so used to people in alternative media who claim to have intel shouting it from the rooftops and making themselves out to be the person on top of the food chain who has all the answers to everything that we almost can’t imagine that maybe the real movers and shakers are actually the complete opposite of this. If they weren’t their very lives would be in danger.
There is also an idea going around that suggests that these ‘white hats’ are part of a loose alliance of some sort. This is inaccurate. There is a very coordinated effort underway, and has been for years, to remove the cabal. There are groups of people all around the world who are doing this in a concerted effort. They may have some different perspectives and viewpoints, but the general consensus is that they want to get humanity out of this mess.
A question that might arise is: ‘what do these people have that we don’t have?’ The answer to that is quite simple. They just happen to be in a position where they can affect change. There are many Trojan horses everywhere. One may then ask: how do we know we can trust these people? And why do they have the right to do this, because it’s not as if they’ve been elected. That is a very valid question and one that cannot be fully answered. The unfortunate truth is that this is war situation and the people who are working behind the scenes cannot take the risk of exposing themselves. We cannot have democratic elections to decide who gets to do this at this point in time. Only after the cabal is removed will that be possible. Although it should be noted that these people are working directly with elected officials such as Putin and other world leaders. This is the reality of the situation, whether we like it or not. What we can say though from our own perspective is that what was stated above is not guesswork on our behalf. We have no reason to doubt the integrity of these people. That may not be much of an answer, but it’s all that can be said about it at this point.”
My bold. And I just naturally assume that Paul is referring to some of his sources and contacts who have no desire whatsoever to be identified.
Sorry…for the Lisa/Paul confusion. Tired Lisa wrote it but they are a team…and presumably share their knowledge of all their contacts. And only with a long record of trust and confidentiality would I imagine any of those shadowy figures would have any of their cohorts add material to Paul and Lisa’s intelligence reports.
OK, that all makes sense, sort of, but I wasn’t saying there aren’t white hats anywhere. Obviously, there’s good people all over the place, even big tech and pharma and Lockheed Martin probably have a bright light here and there.
I was referring to any white hats in the systems that Maria Farmer mentions dealing with, particularly the current administration. You might want to hear the history of a guy like Barr, or what Farmer says about Trump. She’s made a new painting. The whole cast of characters is there — it’s very funny and quite poignant. Trump is in the painting.
As usual, I hope to God you are right, and would applaud any “good guys” who seize the day. I wonder how many good guys can survive the brown-nosing culture of D.C., the city, not the comics. It seems that competent people have been systemically eliminated over the years, government, MSM, diplomats, spooks, .mil/.gov, you name it.
When Shaun and Maria laugh uproariously at her picture of Maxwell, that’s the liberating sound of freedom, freedom from madness. I didn’t mean to imply no sense of hope; laughter is one way forward.
On one level: Agreed!
Ho, ho ho!
And I’m not talkin’ ’bout any of Baal Clinton’s girl friends….. so I guess it should be “ha, ha, ha” instead!
On another level (Trump, Barr…people deep in the swamp…in Barr’s case…..or in Big Bucks Business DJT’s case) I don’t think it is so simple as:
“None of them are ever in a million years capable of any good, because they are NOTHING like ME!”
“I know I’m good, so they are not! How could they ever be if they are nothing like me???”
Ever hear of The Damascus Road Conversion…… of Paul???
Imagine a capable person, his or her soul depressed by decades of hideous, disgusting corruption…which they had to swim in or around not to drown……….grasping a life line to redeem their own soul…..or in some remarkable leaders’ cases……….. the soul of their entire nation, as well.
Not a frequent occurrence, but it does happen…..especially if the awareness of a people to a Putin….a Ghandi a JFK or MLK resonates….. enough….to those flawed (or at least imperfect) people in leadership.
I once listened intently to James Bevel in a hotel room where a conference was being held, along with other conference attendees crammed in someone’s room. Bevel was one of King’s closest collaborators from Martin’s earliest days of emerging as the leader of the Civil Rights Movement. He knew what was going on. And he was quite clear that Martin’s biggest weakness was women………… and his extramarital relations with them behind Corretta’s back.
Which Gay Edgar Hoover was well aware of …and definitely used to try to blackmail and destroy King…..and who knows?…..maybe even played some role in setting up his assassination.
Reality is complicated. People are complicated. But they oversimplify things constantly.

Entered the cafe and without reading below your words, wrote my own, which is the same as yours…see how close in spirit we are ?
same thoughts
same feelings
same words,
what a gathering of old folks !
God bless you all !
pain is the
hidden purifier
of the human heart
I remember being a small kid who was trying to decipher the passing of time, feeling it as an almost physical pain, the passing events of a day, with all familiar actors playing in a past which was also present, like a deja-vu movie which could be seen from outside and from within in the same time – at least that was my perception.
The regret of each passing day and the joy for each new one as a prerequisite for better times; as something unseen, shrouded in mystery, with the illusion of some unstoppable happiness, conserving everything which was good and eliminating all the bad things, had also been part of the journey and perception.
I couldn’t understand why there is no constant in good, and if there might be, why all good constants cannot be harmonized in a perpetual world, putting an end to sufferings and losses. And so came the Time as the main culprit in the mind and imagination of a few kids who were looking at the stars from the top of a hay pyramid.
Often, during sweet-warm summer nights, we climbed on the fresh haystack and looked at the stars shining on the dark Prussian-Blue colored sky vault, observing that up there, there’s no change, every year the sky looks the same, the stars are the same, and the Moon as well. Only here down on Earth, everything is changing, our loved ones are aging and slowly disappearing and this is an unstoppable process led by something, much more powerful than the kids’ mind could comprehend.
But at least, we were thinking, and in our hearts we were probably much closer to the keys of mystery than we ever realized.

“Oldest Tree on Earth: The Curse of the Methusalah Tree shows how the climate and dramatic events –
from volcanoes to nuclear events – have effected its growth rings…”… Can’t help feeling there’s some lessons in this wonderful story of a 4,500 year old bristlecone pine tree, up in the highlands of California, after reading your comment, ioan. One can feel the consciousness of the tree in this remarkabe story of survival…acceptance, endurance, patience, non-resistence…
“I couldn’t understand why there is no constant in good, and if there might be, why all good constants cannot be harmonized in a perpetual world…”
The explanation lies in the fact that this is a warring universe. It is a testing ground and school where
Soul advances Its interests through determined effort and Its understanding through experience, especially the hard knocks. The reason Soul spends so much time in this world ( and others like it ) is that Soul generally unfolds by ‘taking one step forward, then two back’, ie; It takes Its time. God’s plan for Soul is nothing if not thorough and time is necessary for Soul to develop the love and stamina necessary as well as to tire of the things of the world. It’s given the freedom in how It wants to walk Its own path back to God, but Its path must be in harmony with the spiritual laws of life, the main one out of which all the rest spring, being Love all of Life. So, the world you sense does exist, and it’s right here and now, but it’s much subtler than the outer world. Generally speaking, most of us are far too over-polarised on this world and our standing in it, that it leaves us very little energy to explore the inner realms.
Yes, I couldn’t describe it better as you did, thank you my friend. Meanwhile I watched the documentary you linked above, it is almost unbelieveable to see that tree being still alive after so many thousands of years. Clearly, the time has another meaning from its point of view…very, very interesting. Thank you for sharing !
firmly rooted,
reaching up toward heaven;
the great tree of life!
This report by James Corbett on the Diabolical Baal and Molochia Gates Foundation is 2 days old…but if someone linked it…I didn’t see it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7A_cMpKm6w Bill Gates’ Plan to Vaccinate the World
Quite Damning.
Their contributions are to profit themselves. In Gates’ “Decade of Vaccines” the Gates net worth doubled from 50 billion to 100 billion….mostly through this “charitable” control freakish evil.
Amazing Polly referenced this by Corbett, as “excellent”.
The neuro-linguistic programming of these two Gates Snakes are so slick at ………… is just sickening.
I wonder what the opinion of Dave Emory on Julian Assange (and his imprisonment) is today in 2020. Back in 2016 Emory wrote an article accusing WikiLeaks as a “fascist, ‘Alt-Right’ institution that aided Trump’s election” and calling Assange himself some anti-Semite.
http://spitfirelist.com/news/alt-right-assange-the-facebook-virtual-panopticon-and-the-victory-of-the-trumpenkampfverbande/
As far as I’m aware, Assange’s only “crimes” were to leak Hillary Clinton’s e-mails and to expose war crimes committed by the US government.
How can I be sure that Emory isn’t lying about Assange’s “antisemitism”? Is there even any evidence of antisemitism on Assange’s part?

Just read the convo on homesteading on the previous Cafe. Just a quick follow up.
@KINZAZA, welcome to growing food up north. Luckily those of us in Canada ‘homesteading’ have food stores to go to when the frost comes early in the Fall, such are the perrils of wacky weather. Quebec will not be much different than where I am in Manitoba. Minus 10 this morning and first fall frosts can happen any time after the end of Aug. Long before fruit and veggies have started to ripen. Not sure what your building skill level is but in the links below you’ll find some handy and easy ideas for growing up north, or anywhere for that matter. I just finished the skeleton for my first go at a greenhouse this weekend.
The greenhouse frames are made from standard galvanized fence posts and top rails which can be bought from most hardware stores.

Cheers, and good luck………..the old rule of thumb here was never plant before the last full moon in May, which now is basicly out the window as frosts can happen (here anyways) up to mid June.
Great BTC Halvenning Day is here, and I’m Still A VERY Worried, Worried Man! BTC pumpin’ a few hundred bucks, but I think it needs at last $3000 more….like yesterday!
But let the “Bits” fall where they may, nothing we can do about the limp “pump” at this late stage!
Catching up with the last Cafe, I answer Mike from New Jersey there….I didn’t mean Trump is counting on a Covid 19 vaccine….I meant the cheap and effective Hydrochloroquine and its booster drug which has a Z in it.
Pleased to resonate with Hawksmere who I know nothing else about..but that may change!
But Hawk (and Hound) I think most of the “flak” I’ll get will be right here, from potential friends and allies not Adrenochrome imbibing Royals or deep State Demons. But not on the Adrenochrome Question…that’s just too dark an area in the strategic shadows for 95% of all good Multi-polar World advocates to ever muster up the gumption to peer into or “go there”.
Most people want to “go” where they will feel all warm and fuzzy, get social confirmation. a little mutual ego-stroking, etc. Unfortunately, I can only take about 10% of those sorts of pleasantries compared to most people before I get……..well, Bored To Tears! LOL.
Give me a rough and tumble rousingly polemical debate most any hour of the day! It’s not that I’m WC Fields and hate puppies and small children….NO! They are cute and cuddly! And very enjoyable to be with ….for a minute or two with a young dog or cat….and twenty minutes or so a day per son, average. It’s just that there are higher pleasures of the mind: Like Discovery…like Cognition. Like Science and Classical Art and current history.
Now those things can be shared with family and friends…in the case of sons, if you can pry them away from games..momentarily..mainly with FOOD….or in the case of spouse…from her lovely orchids inside which are taking over more and more space…or succulents, which are similarly conquering the patios and cramping my mobility……. and finances!
Next will probably be an Orange County Orchid Club expedition to China! Whatcha think that might run???
That’s why I am trying so mightily to separate “the Real Bitcoin………from the Actual Shitcoin”. On the micro-personal level that is. But the Macro Level and the Microlevel are mutually dependent to ever conceivably get ANY thing into focus: The Parmenides Paradox…….”The One & The Many”….guys: Foundational!
Now, regarding Crypto and Frank I gotta go Deeper Into The Woods with SP Wolfhound….and you too, Dave Salmond……..on the former.
Frankly, Hound…is 33 or 34 and has been doing a nightly live show since he was 21…for many years with just a small community…which is why…closing in on 60K subscribers….. his podcast still has an incredible intimacy and familiarity of “family” who have never met in person (mostly) but have by voice…and Skype, etc…many. many times. Quite Cool, actually!
And Frank can think and really reel off some stunningly insightful rants…ad libbing with the Best of All Time.
There are a few flaws there, things I would argue with him on….but he’s a lot better than just an opportunist riding a new wave of resistance to nutty shit happening with the Fake Left:
Example….two or three times I have heard him questioning the “western” anti-China narrative on COVID wondering out loud if they might not have been set up as “patsies” in a complex game of the Globalists using them…and then trying to screw them…like they do with everyone!
ANYWHO, Number and Magnitude and the subtleties between the One and The Many are the areas where I am the most sure-footed and fast, in all modesty, but without a few hours of one on one with Frank…or a Neon Revolt….or Red Pill 78…..they are just spread too thin on time …………to follow more than one tiny step…and boom…I’m out a quarter mile ahead conceptually and have lost them…in the Crypto-Woods.
Which might NOT happen with one of you…..if there were email connection (through Herb…we could do that..he has my email) and then phone connection.
Why bother??
Because of the Macro and Micro reasons, obviously. They are both DYNAMIC! Potentially personal life and civilization changing!
But it is necessary to get beyond Grammar (terminology) and Number (actually a further refinement of # 3……Logic…which has 3 “in order” methodologies to it …..Number……necessary to Measurement, Music ……necessary to Rythm. Coordination, Relationship, Harmony….and Astronomy which contains all the former plus is a check on the more Universal…the less local or particular…and so far here…..progress is waylaid barely into the Rhetoric stage by “feelings”.
Which will probably remain the case until some stunning confirmation indicates even to THE most stubborn “feelings”…that I just might be proceeding from a more reliable, more solid and stable epistemological foundation….than my competing-for-attention counter-feelings! LOL.
Anyways, The Worried (not really, wink, wink) Man’s Halvenning Update after shower and breakfast!
Enough for this early, early morning comment.
Lots said in the previous cafe and in the mostly poor cryptocurrency press about the Bitcoin (BTC) halvening that will happen in about 7 hours from now, when block 630000 is being mined.
https://blockchair.com/tools/halving-countdown
So, what is a halving? On Bitcoin (BTC) this is the third halving taking place. What it means is that the price that the miners (optimized computers and pools of optimized computers), now get for produced money (BTC) is 6.25x BTC coins, instead of 12.5 BTC coins before this halving. Miner rewards exactly cut in half, hence halving. This ‘solving’ is done by computers working through mathematical problems.
This halving is to reduce the money (BTC) produced by the BTC blockchain so that it does not pick up inadvertent debasement/inflation and it is now more difficult to produce BTC at a fair price. This is frequently described as ‘quantitative hardening’, the exact opposite of ‘quantitative easing’. In other words, the product (money) produced by the Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain remains scarce and expensive to produce. (Very hard and brutally competitive capitalism but can be used equally for all types of systems and beliefsets).
The difference between this halving and previous halvings is that we now have 3 versions of Bitcoin, instead of only 1 as in the previous halvings (there are more but let’s pick 3 that are in the top 10 coins. We should actually count Litecoin as well). It is good to remember that these 3 versions of Bitcoin are in hard competition, so, that is why I always say don’t pick one and advertise it – because if you do that, you are simply partaking in marketing and advertising.
With this halving of the price paid to miners, people expect that the price will rise, as this is what happened in the previous two halvings, i.e., it became more difficult to mine, the cost of mining increased, and the money (BTC) is now more scarce than before. (Those that did some economics theory with those incessant economics graphs, will understand ..
scarcity = higher price
non-scarcity = lower price. )
What is real here, is that any miner or pool of miners are dependent on the price of BTC in the marketplace. I’ve seen estimates that BTC now will have to increase in price to around US$12,500, in order for the miners to still make a decent profit, enough to keep them operating.
So, now remember that the 3 Bitcoins are in competition. So, lots of words are being spilled everywhere, to say this this one is better than that one. All that really happens is if the miners cannot mine at a profit, they point their mining rigs at another blockchain, that is more profitable, or the smaller ones go out of business.
Halvings in BTC (and the other versions of Bitcoin) will continue up to around the year 2100 +.
We’ve just seen what we call a pump ‘n dump’ by whales (big traders). They chased up the pre-halving price in the markets to just above 10,000 dollar per BTC, the pump did not sustain, and the price dropped back. Of course they sell when the price is high, and then buy in again when the price drops. Unfortunately in BTC now, it is all market action and they have drifted very far from the principle of peer to peer money for the world. They’re mostly just a bunch of traders, trading into and out of the fiat paper currencies.
The biggest competitor to BTC in the market now is Ethereum, and the other 2 versions of Bitcoin are lesser competitors.
(Clear as mud?)
Lots of stories going around the BTC has a bug and this halving will take it down via this bug .. as a market competitor. No way .. don’t pay attention. The BTC blockchain is robust and the tech and programming works (all software has bugs). For this halving we will have to see which chain the miners end up mining to figure out what will survive in the marketplace.
A little farther into Rhetoric, my crypto-friend but quite far from the realm of rigorous Logic.
And one obvious element of Logic is that if you have a “space” so absurdly fragmented into literally thousands of cryptos…..that like dot.coms are mostly just capital raising ploys..dead ends that are going to “blow away” with the next strong breeze..that might not be all that good!
So much as I shared your fun and emotional enthusiasm for the mess in my crypto-adolescence and had my “crushes” on EOS and Ethereum and ERC-20 (Ethereum chain) tokens by the dozens and still hold a few for sentimental and nostalgic purposes…..Time to Grow UP!
And now……..I never expect ANY of those…..including BTC or ETH to EVER become “world-wide useable money”. for rigorously logical and quite obvious reasons.
And my reasons have ZERO to do with “advertising”. They have to do with principles of science and unique singularities within ideas, designs and concrete projects, which once grasped can give one, you included internal authority instead of other-directed looking to outside authority, as is your primary M.O.
Allow the rhetoric (argument) and proofs (logic and time) to go forward not so discouraged and resisted that my good Cafe buddy ioan is intimidated to receive a gift (minimally of learning…that’s what all my former crypto-toys were at least good for….lol…after they fell 90% and mostly stayed down there……you want a couple of dozen graph charts???? And I’m not crying….I’m laughing at what I’ve learned! lol) because of his desire for Cafe Harmony Among Friends and avoidance of the disruptive kerffules and cattiness you all too often fall into. (Constructive Criticism……”grins”)
Because chances are virtually NO ONE in this Vineyard I am guessing has done more than stick a little toe in the Crypto-space….so you and I probably have no one to “protect” from the point of view of the other. YET.
What is unfortunate is the humorless school marm or Catholic nun sort of “order-keeping” you seem to think is necessary for some unfathomable reason. All it does is tighten people up, whereas what is need is a loosening up…not of pocket books…but of minds.
If someone already has BTC or ETH (I still got a little of one of them, but not the other…and I have no problem explaining myself….) they are presumably adults and they don’t need you or I to be their unpaid advisors. They gotta figure it out themselves. They aren’t children.
We all gotta figure out almost everything of any real importance for ourselves, without some Big Sister Censor coming along with a crypto-reed to rap little boys and girls’ knuckles or rear ends with.
Capiche????
And Time Will tell if Logic cannot do the job.
Now back to work on my Brash Britisher (not you) Who I just got less pleased with, yesterday.
Explanation coming right up.
Pump and dump and halving in the crypto currency sounds no different than any typical Pyrimid Scheme. Those in first, clean out the poor, over excited, ‘follow the leader’ dweebs. No different with buying ‘hot’ Stocks on the open market or looking for some stability in a pumped and dumped Mutual Fund scheme/scam. Fun disscussions for those with money……..to invest and loose…………..but for regular Joe and Jane, socialy seperated, standing in the long lines, just another way to get fleeced before you even get in the store.
In a sense, sean the leprechaun. From the early heady days of dreams of clean money and peer to peer electronic cash, we’ve come a long way in this asset class and it truly split between the honest and the dishonest. There are good people, good cryptos and good initiatives but these days – where-ever there is money, there are more sharks than dolphins. So, one truly needs someone to hold your hand in the modern environment, but mostly, one has to do hard homework. For me, about 3 years ago, I told all my friends … OK .. I’ve educated so far, now, the opportunity for the ordinary person is not so simple and you’re going to do some hard homework. Some did it, some not. Those that did not and ask questions now .. all I send them is a pic of the world’s smallest little violin :-)
https://us-browse.startpage.com/av/anon-image?piurl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F1f%2F55%2F2d%2F1f552dd2061fd76bf8aba69457455b8b.jpg&sp=1589208663T220aefc4ceae4771251b72937e05d496475e3423021c9b0878a115cd84eab71e
Still, this is the way of the world going foreward.
It’s all down to personal preference how much do you need to afford food, or can you lose and go hungry for a few days…………..luckily food banks don’t turn anyone away. My risk factor at age 60 is zero times zero, I need a tractor more than bitcoins. Leaving it to some kid to write about it in fifty years, on the back of some papryus toilet paper, stock permitting……..lol.

Title of the first song: Best Song – On the Great Victory of 1945
And its lyrics:
Cinema is,
Fighting platoon
Far year
On the tape, the old …
The hard way
Just a little bit
And fires burn out war …
Happy May
Favorite edge
Meet their soldiers soon …
From wounds insults
The earth trembles
The warmth of her soul Warming …
CHORUS:
And all of that spring
I saw in a dream,
Dawn came and the world smiled,
What blizzard swept away,
That blossomed willow,
And my great-grandfather came home from the war …
In a spirited battle
In a Strange Land
Let them keep
Love and faith
So more of them
It’s alive
And the rank and file,
And officers …
Come spring,
As my great-grandfather,
And sweet home
Open the door …
I remember the light
Distant years,
In your country
I’ll believe …
CHORUS: … twice

Before I express my dismay at the World View of yet another Britisher (my own fellow Little Englander, the Brash, Occasionally Brilliant and Always (well almost always…Not yesterday!)

The provocative opening paragraphs:
“Imagine testing out your first successful time machine prototype in 2018 and stepping through the matrix into April 2020. Your first sight of this time is a newsstand (albeit, rather deserted) with headlines blaring about oil prices crashing below zero.
Undoubtedly your initial response would be to suspect you’d accidentally jumped 20 years into the future, instead of two. You’d also be reasonable to suspect that this future society is on the brink of migrating to a renewable energy grid, turning crude oil into a burden to dispose of rather than an asset to hoard.
Only once you’d gotten beyond the headlines to read through the news articles would you grasp the unprecedented circumstances (in modern terms) that have led to the oil apocalypse of 2020.
Data as the Fuel of the Next Industrial Revolution……. read on.
AND:
“American technology giants – Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook, and Microsoft –- have already usurped energy corporations at the top of the NASDAQ stock index. Although these companies offer a mix of products and services, they have a key factor in common: they are all investing a significant part of their R&D on getting aboard the data train.”
Now, I don’t know about you but I like the above corps…maybe LESS than Royal Dutch Shell or Standard Oil.
The question therefore (for me) becomes: What does “Bitcoin” or blockchain offer that can make the next DATA Driven Companies NOT instruments of psychopathic imperial control freaks…………but of national and personal sovereignty, instead????
No takers, eh??
I’ll try to answer my own question later. Priorities get rearranged.
But I’m fairly confident that Libra is out of balance………and the only thing that will be weighed is Zuck’s guilt, not Fakebook Coin.
The question therefore (for me) becomes: What does “Bitcoin” or blockchain offer that can make the next DATA Driven Companies NOT instruments of psychopathic imperial control freaks…………but of national and personal sovereignty, instead????
Four questions marks, but I would need a good deal more in relation go any understanding whatsoever about bitcoin, it is a space time travel coin,, you can fragment it into shards or pieces without a hammer, it’s a coin you can’t see, it’s money, it’s funny money as it’s mined like gold even though there’s nothing to see, you put your coins into an invisible wallet, we’re all wizards of the future wielding blockchain power, bit of the coin data power ?
Maybe mental blockchain lockdown’s my issue, but some of the guys on the vids have an aura of catching entrepreneurship, new ways of dealing and thinking, a sense of identity with others in their ‘invisible industry.’ intriguing…. are we falling asleep when we should be getting up ?
And then there are the “whales” in the bitcoin world along with the sharks, but the whales with their big blocks of
ownership rule the waves of the bitcoin neptunian space. Not us. not us many who hold a pittance here and a pittance there even if thousands of us could conceivably act in unison to balance the splash of just one “whale”. It is the same-old/ same-old game but on a different play space.
And, yes, we need to get back to the earth and root ourselves there. At least we can see and touch those who have our back.
i am not earth rooted but cosmic rooted, and so i am intrigued by the consciousnesses correspondences of bitcoin space and planet earth time and space. seems from what i sees there’s a chance to grasp this moment in earth- time to realize individual human freedom while simultaneously identifying with other’s in an entirely new way that is bypassing the masses of rooted earthlings, waddaya say we stand up before the psychopathic imperial control freaks take the helm ?????!!!!!!!!!
Very well said anonchain
If I may be so bold as to add ‘consciousness’ to your individual human freedom quest?

An interesting development. I didn’t know they had it in them.
Thank You so much Richard
I’ve scoured the horizons for many months looking for Church guidance, to no avail.
Until this.
I’ve been in and out of churches all my adult life. Out for the past ten years due to essential failures as the organised hierarchies remain oblivious to some essential teachings of Christ.
I will write to these Church Fathers suggesting they add circumcised baby boy foreskins to the morally unacceptable contents of vaccinations.
“Let us also remember, as Pastors, that for Catholics it is morally unacceptable to develop or use vaccines derived from material from aborted fetuses.”
I in Christ and Christ in me
Thank You again Richard for this valuable development. I did not think they had it in them either.
Good News
The Catholic Church is very invested in the Fourth Industrial Revolution – ie Digital Dictatorship. Why am I not surprised?
https://wrenchinthegears.com/2019/06/21/doctrine-of-discovery-redux-the-vaticans-plans-for-impact-investing/
So the Dominicans are putting a shot across the bow of the pedophile NWO Jesuit Church hierarchy? you think?
Copy of my letter to the editor
“Baby’s foreskins used in vaccines.
https://vactruth.com/2017/09/28/foreskin-used-in-vaccines/
Even worse now vaccines has become part of WHO/Gates/Rockefeller UN SDG worldwide depopulation schemes so they are definitely well researched into that objective and are ill-advised and dangerous.
Gates also fund and research the coronvirus vaccine. It may well be part of a depopupalation plan on steroids.
To the Editor
Could you please pass on my request to the Church Fathers to include as ‘morally unacceptable’ , the cells of circumcised baby boy foreskins?
In 1972 I was given an appointment card to present my first born son to the doctor for routine circumcision.
I was a timid, usually compliant housewife with no education.
This instruction by hospital staff was so morally repugnant to me I said ‘No!’ and dropped the card in the rubbish bin.
I’ve been waiting a long time for Church Guidance on our current and most psychologically disturbing era in recent human history.
Thank You for this important letter

Yours in Christ”

I admit it, my mouth gaped open when I saw an article on the “botched Venezuelan coup d’etat” (exact words) in Canada’s official military magazine.
http://espritdecorps.ca/on-target-4/on-target-botched-venezuela-coup-detat-the-canadian-connection
Other topics in this issue: Canada & Russia Common Legacy, and an editorial “Holocaust Remembrance is Vital to Counter Nazi Glorification in Ukraine”
Whoa.
Odd timing, botched coup in Venezuala, and a RCAF chopper crash in the Med. Good way to cover for any Canadians that may not have survived the coup attempt.
Several years ago a co worker was concerned. Her Canadian military son had recieved quick deployment notice to Honduras. I said ‘don’t worry, likely just going to pull a coup.’ She gave me a weird disbeliving look. About a month later she pulled me aside and confirmed what I had said………..which I didn’t need, as Honduras already had a new President installed.
A small Iranian ship was heavily damaged in a training accident when mistakenly hit by an anti-ship missiles. Condolences to those killed and injured.

VIDEO shows damaged Iranian naval ship involved in training incident that left 19 dead & 15 injured
https://www.rt.com/news/488359-iran-damages-ship-video/
I posted this because it shows the Iranians didn’t try and conceal this accident, but instead have been fairly open about what happened, given the incident involved their navy.
The other reason I posted it was to show what modern anti-ship missiles can do to surface ships. There has been some discussion on this site about missiles vs surface ships recently, this incident shows how devastating a missile can be to a ship. This is a photo of the Konarak:
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTcwzHbpMQ45_iVS7Duwh_TFVan5JEG7GH4L5prfDjUPXymQDbWVw&s
Compare with the footage of her after being struck. Not much left above the hull, while the ship appears to have a broken back and is barely afloat. The Konarak is a small vessel, 650 tons and 165×33 foot length/beam. But the missile which hit her is also on the small side, with a SAP warhead of 165 kg (less than 400 lbs.). Being SAP (semi-armor piecing) means the explosive weight is much less than this, with much more of the weight taken up by the steel body than one would find with a HE warhead. A Tomahawk missile has a 1000 lb. warhead, a Kaliber, a warhead of about 450 kg.
In assessing damage, beam has more relevance than length in a vessel, so the relative small size of the Konarak is not so pronounced. The Sheffield, rn destroyer demolished by an Exocet cruise missile during the Malvinas/Falklands conflict, had a beam of 47-49 feet and displacement of over 4000 tons (and supposedly the Exocet warhead didnt actually explode, the damage it caused was due to the remaining fuel left in the missile when it struck). Yet this ship was completely neutralized.
And here it is. A 60 yr old professional mathematician in UK has taken the Cabals own data and tracking it’s growth against exponential proves that [a] the growth of Covid was NOT exponential and that [b] the whole Ferguson-WHO model is a deliberate fraud. They had this data before they twisted Government arms to do the entire “destroy the economy ” scene, and thus know full well that in fact ALL the outbreaks of Covid were tracking to start their decline.
It was over when they ordered us all to stay home and businesses to shut!!!
They have committed some pretty massive fraud, and should be charged accordingly.

I saw that Pamela.
My thoughts while reading, unfortunately turned to whatever ‘it’ is, waiting in the wings for Stage 2
I know, I must rise above it.
Keep on with the Good Fight
Yes, that’s for us all isn’t it – the need to rise above it, thank you for that. Babuska.
News from Aus is bad, as you showed us, and news from Canada even more so. People forcible removed from their homes and put in psychiatric “care” – because the protested the draconian measures Trudeau is enforcing!! The Gulag Archipelago comes to Canada!!
Bad night for sleep last night, waking early with this on my mind and the 3+ hour documentary I watched about the ways the Big International Banking cartel has been tightening it’s grip on power since before WWII.
I had never for one moment thought the end of my life would be such a dark time. I feel so much for the next small generation growing up, and wonder what they will face.
It’s good to meet with friends here at the Cafe, and know we at least are standing together.
Stay well amiga.
Thanks Pamela. I share similar feelings. And as a fellow Aussie I do wonder that our very tiny number of deaths (only 97 as of today) assumed to be from the ‘virus’ can be justification for the hyper media fear porn now everywhere – or just about.
So now we have thousands unemployed, small businesses closing, and the highest personal debt in the world. Our economy will not ‘bounce back’ as we are being told by our inept prime minister.
The spying phone ap now being heavily enouraged (voluntary for now) by our government has no ability to keep anyone safe. how? We are being data mined with Amazon the government’s choice to keep our data private – ha ha. So far, we mere peasants have not been told the terms and cost of this agreement!
The lesser of two evils – our economy/society may collapse before the digital dictatorship is imposed upon us.
i have not fear of the alleged virus, but i do fear what the future may bring, and am glad I am now in my seventies. I feel very sorry for young people who will have to sort out this mess.
Please don’t over sensationalize a few people ‘protesting’ being locked up, anymore than a few kids getting a ‘rash’ that may or may not be related to cv19. Protesters get locked up all the time, for whatever reason. No one in Canada has been ‘forcibily’ locked down, anywhere. We, like the Swedes, were asked to follow some basic social distancing rules, no one is under house arrest (unless one is sick and breaking quarintine, that’s a disrespectful idiot btw and even that I have not heard of yet), no one has governmnet installed tracking apps on their phones.
In fact it’s so free and easy here you could go on a rampage and, time permitting, kill dozens of people.
And you may not be aware of this but some protesters are freakin’ nuts and some protesters are agent provocatures……..and some protesters are opportunists, waiting for warm weather to protest a lockdown that is starting to be lifted, the horse already left the barn………….oh, I forgot, and some protesters are on someone’s payroll……
Cheers, M
We’re just ‘coming down’ from full moon Pamela, which could be one reason for poor sleep. I don’t even try – just use the energy for whatever needs to get done.
Yes I fully agree with you on this closing chapter of our lives- ‘they’ definitely want us gone; to get on with their dastardly plans.
As if the contrived
(“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality judiciously, as you will we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”

Rising above it all, and doing our best anyway, with what we have and where we are
Strength and peace to You
Indeed, sleep is now restored, so you are probably right about the full moon syndrome Babuska.
There are times when i feel as if a vortex of furious energy I am struggling to control comes swirling through my home and quiet life, and then after a few days is gone, peace resumes, and I’m left thinking “what the blazes was that”?.
I hadn’t thought of the moon, a dangerous thing to overlook.
Earth will be going through a massive asteroid debris field in the summer. Could be an ELE event.

It’s true, amarynth.
Saker did say “It’s over!”, after about thirty days into the current administration, when the story was that DJT fired Flynn because Pence claimed Flynn lied to him. About Ambassador Kislyak or something.
Hopes for the new administration were given a rude dousing with a bucket of cold water, awfully fast, since it all seemed so petty, and it was certainly not an unreasonable assessment to say that Trump had thrown the General Under The Bus.
But you know something problematic about citing reasonable intelligence estimates from even the best analysts anywhere that are several years old, to try to seal an argument by citing an external authority??
It’s called New Evidence.
It’s called Updates.
It’s called, “it’s okay for anyone, even a King, Queen or President of a Superpower to state the obvious:
None of us EVER have a 100% complete picture of anything. There’s always more!
Which might contradict an initial assessment and an investigator whose ego enables him or her to admit error due to insufficient or misleading data is a better investigator than one whose ego will NOT allow such course corrections…sticking stubbornly to a wrong path.
And yet, while we have to proceed with what we have at the time, KNOWING that there has to be more, it is incumbent upon us to keep collecting data, even data contradictory to our original assessment……continuously.
Case Closed??? Even in Courts of Law new evidence can REOPEN old “closed cases”.
Case in Point Lt General Michael J Flynn and Donald J Trump:
I have mentioned a few times in the last weeks that I was suspecting more and more that Flynn was bait in a massive deep “Sting Operation” to embolden the Obama minions in the Justice Department and FBI into massive overconfidence and committing dozens of further documentable crimes.
One tip off very early was Flynn’s lack of bitterness toward the President. In itself, that isn’t sufficient for any hopeful conclusions of a successful sting in some wild, uncalled for leap of faith.
HOWEVER: What the General actually meant when interviewed by the FBI agents sent to entrap him in the interview in the White House in the first week of February 2017………JUST MIGHT.
McCabe notes in his book, “The Threat” something quite odd that Flynn said THREE TIMES during that interview, as he gazed out the window at the sky:
“What a beautiful black sky!” , said Flynn.
Josepth J Flynn is the general’s brother and his tweet says:
Joseph J Flynn tweeted last week:
“What a beautiful Black Sky” @GenFlynn
CrossFire Big Brother tweeted:
To put @JosephJFlynn1 tweet into context, read the attached excerpt from McCabe’s book (left photo) following by the poem by JT Wilde “What a beautiful black sky” (right photo).
Incredible. I truly believe @GenFlynn set these MFer’s up.
Here’s the link

The above string of tweets includes a one word tweet from Trump …just “Interestingly”.
The whole string of tweets may be difficult to take…..but trust me…..better to have early warning (more on that in Crypto world tomorrow….) and reassess sooner ….to avoid the embarrassment of being one of the last…..than to have too much hit you unseen, from behind, later suddenly….without warning.

Isn’t it amazing… the ‘it’s nothing it will go away’ brigade apparently refuse to read data that doesn’t fit their narrative. None more so than when in the case of the most staunch member’s own country, Ecuador, is an unmitigated disaster with an increase in mortality of more than 300 percent since March 2020.
…quote from the below link…
https://ourworldindata.org/excess-mortality-covid
“There are concerns, however, that reported Covid-19 deaths are not capturing the true impact of coronavirus on mortality around the world. The FT has gathered and analyzed data on excess mortality — the numbers of deaths over and above the historical average — across the globe, and has found that death tolls in some countries are more than 50 percent higher than usual. In many countries, these excess deaths exceed reported numbers of Covid-19 deaths by large margins.
The picture is even starker in the hardest-hit cities and regions. In Ecuador’s Guayas province, there have been 10,000 more deaths than normal since the start of March, an increase of more than 300 percent. London has seen overall deaths more than double, and New York City’s total death numbers since mid-March are more than four times the norm.”
…end quote…
In NZ we have been very successful in our control in spite of the fact that we were severely at risk with our large tourist industry and in particular many thousands of visitors off cruise ships mingling with our local population.
We have managed to keep our death rate down to 4 per million population and are now in a very strong position to start winding back our control strategies.
Meanwhile, in so much of the rest of the world, the carnage is massive with the most glaring examples being New York State at 1388 deaths per million, New Jersey at 1073, and Connecticut at 844. One can only imagine what these figures would look like today if the absolutely idiotic ‘do nothing it will go away’ strategy had been adopted.
Cheers
Col
so good to read some sanity.
I am sorry to say that the “‘do nothing, it is just the flu dink tea, garlic or Vitamin C and you will be OK brigade” have shocked me so much that I no longer have the same respect for this site I once did.
I have been here much less and i guess that will continue.
I’ll write something again later watcher. At the moment I have to step back, because I can easily become scorching in my choice of language :-). All I know is that the gleeful fight – your numbers against my numbers – is not doing anyone any good, it simply creates another polarity, and I do think this encourages us to miss signals. In all of the numbers presented, we don’t even have population density as a variable. The numbers presented are all flat, y and x axis presentations, whereas we are dealing with something that has multiple variables.
Watcher, stick around and watch some more, there are always hidden gems among the idiots – oops sorry – those more impressionable commentators still lacking sufficient knowledge – those rare gems of stalwart commentators fighting the good battle against the empire.
For example, (I will not mention specific names, as those possessing superior intellect tend towards shy dispositions, and may not wish their shining intelligence to be paid heed to beyond their own esteemed posts) but, fear not, the drink tea vitamin C alternative health brigade have been well and truly put in their place on many occasion. Not that one would wish to cast nasturtium’s on the ‘do nothing’ brigade and their academia and scientific excellence. . .
@watcher
How can you be so sure that you are on the right side and those who have other view are wrong ? you, as a watcher, should be somewhere in the middle. As I rememeber, things have never been black and white as to distinguish pretty clearly the absolute right, that being the case in the political arena for many years, the main actors being the same as today with this issue on a global scale.
On the other hand, one makes some judgements on the overall history of events in the last 20 or so years and witnessed an aproaching of a certain peak. And the covid has introduced itself on the arena. Mother nature, wanting to avoid nuclear war, or some other hand behind the courtain we cannot see ?
Therefore, we will have to be patient as we are doing it for so many years. I’m sure, nobody will take our hand and give us the absolute proof for this or that, such an approach has never been in the cards of the grand chess players, indiferrent on which side they are staying, the name of the game being a global one.
In this sense, all of us are watchers, witnessing the daily meal we are being served.
A wise and balanced response ioan, much needed.
More people need to listen to you. It should be remembered, that before anyone makes firm statements about a country they know nothing about, they would be well advised to think about keeping their opinions to themselves, lest they end up with egg on their faces!!
I’d like to say that I agree with the wise words of ioan, though I can have some understanding for irritation.
Unfortunately there is a löt of confusion, babble (again today I heard our government warning for lockdown-criticism, which definitely must come from’extreme right groups’). I know people that haven’t been allowed to see their family for more than 2 months – I’m one of them, btw – can we understand their criticism?
Considering ‘a flu’ I’d like to invite people to read this extensive reconstruction of the spanish flu pandemic from 2018. Yes, those were other times: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/journal-plague-year-180965222/
An excerpt describing the second wave of it:
“Roy Grist, a physician at the hospital, wrote a colleague, “These men start with what appears to be an ordinary attack of LaGrippe or Influenza, and when brought to the Hosp. they very rapidly develop the most vicious type of Pneumonia that has ever been seen. Two hours after admission they have the Mahogany spots over the cheek bones, and a few hours later you can begin to see the Cyanosis”—the term refers to a person turning blue from lack of oxygen—“extending from their ears and spreading all over the face….It is only a matter of a few hours then until death comes…It is horrible….We have been averaging about 100 deaths per day…For several days there were no coffins and the bodies piled up something fierce…”
And that was a flu.
I have been in a self-chosen quarantaine for several weeks, being between 2 projects and living close to one of the heaviest hit areas in Germany (Kreis, something like a county), the most hit village is just 10 km away – some 2000 inhabitants, early March there were already 35 cases of which 8 have already died, status 3 weeks ago.
In this time I have read many scientific studies inasmuch I could understand it, from peer reviews before they would be published on Science or The Lancet.
What I distilled from it in a simplified summary:
– It is highly infective, being a variant of SARS with a delivery system identical to HIV.
– Many studies about where it might have originated. Nice for the blame game but it won’t bring us any further now, it’s simply there.
– A significant percentage (one large group study claimed 40%) is infected but has no symptoms at all.
– The virus can supress the immune system at first, incubation time can be days to even weeks, and you can get really, really sick in a few hours. It can last for weeks.
– Of the recovered patients, with damaged body tissue which might be permanent, only 20% develop immunity.
– It’s sexually transferrable, and also transferrable to animals (one might ask whether the reverse is also true). This is already known for almost 2 months.
– The idea that flu deaths are all old and feable people is not true. A young, strong and healthy teenager can die from a mild flu – this is related to variations in our immune system that is genetically based.
– Social distancing is pseudo-science, based on nothing else then the idea that it won’t work in the wrong direction.
– The virus contained in breathed aerosols can survive in the open air for some 30 minutes. On dead surfaces like doorknobs, tables for days.
I would say that there is a lot that we still don’t know.
Watcher, I understand your irritation, but we still know so little, there is much babble and mostly I just shrug my shoulders every now and then. Asking questions, listening to maybe other insights is never wrong. Just keep doing that. Wouldn’t life be boring when we would always agree?
Keep exploring, all the best, and stay healthy.
Cheers, Rob
Personally i think the possibility that low doses of ‘sarin’ type agents have been used in ecuador NY and London should be considered.
I am so sorry that I made this comment about Peskov. Apparently folks are ignoring that, and using this as an echochamber. People are trying to be right at all costs? You cannot be right, because this is not over.
Understand that others have different opinions. Allow for that.
ioan, in these circumstances unfortunately if one looks for balance, the ones that array themselves on this side or that will both sides shoot at you.
Apologies watcher. I had something that I wanted to post, but I will refrain.
I am really sorry that Dmitry Peskov got infected with Covid-19. He is healthy though and should come through it. I hope that he actually comes through without too much damage.
An interesting article on RT about hysteria from authorities in Germany: https://www.rt.com/op-ed/488384-german-merkel-protests-covid/
I can confirm that the analysis of RT is quite right. Yesterday it was even a main item on the MSM news. Of course, it is the fault of the AfD – which party is called ‘extreme right’ but is not more conservative then the CDU in the eighties, when one takes the effort to read or listen to their ideas.
Also, governmental blokes are pretty busy with monitoring ‘critical messages’ on social media, which of course is far more dangerous than a pandemic or worse, the economical damage from the lockdown.
On the average people behave disciplined, but also try to imagine that smaller businesses are going down the drain – what has been build in years is breaking down in months, and it’s frustrating.
As much as we should understand that we cannot allow a large part of the nation getting seriously ill, one should also understand that the effect on the economy could be massive.
The main driver of the government is that they are scared as hell.

US Mercenaries Went Ahead With Venezuela Invasion Despite Being Outed on TV Weeks Earlier – Video
https://sputniknews.com/latam/202005121079281221-us-mercenaries-went-ahead-with-venezuela-invasion-despite-being-outed-on-tv-weeks-earlier–video/
“Diosdado Cabello, president of Venezuela’s Constituent Assembly and second-in-command of the United Socialist party of Venezuela, the Latin American nation’s ruling party, revealed details about who was behind the botched mercenary invasion over month before it took place.
Cabello laid out the details of the plot on March 28 on Venezuelan national television. However, the presentation, which proved surprisingly prescient, detailed, and accurate, received almost no media attention at the time, and has been picked up by only one major UK outlet since.
In the programme, Cabello stands before a pair of large cork boards and a chart featuring the photos and names showing the elaborate ties between opposition figures, defectors from the military, weapons stocks in Colombia, and three ‘gringo’ Americans in the middle of it all, agents dubbed ‘Yordan,’ ‘Lut’ and ‘Aro’.
‘Agente Yordan’ is revealed to be none other than Jordan Goudreau, the former US Green Beret trooper and Silvercorp USA founder. Cabello presents several photos of the soldier turned soldier of fortune, and mentions Silvercorp by name.
“Without a doubt [Silvercorp] is a shell company that gives services to others, that’s how they do it. It’s a front for the CIA,” Cabello suggests. “The reality is that Silvercorp USA is used to undertake clandestine operations in various countries in the world, especially to finance groups of mercenaries and destabilize legitimate governments,” he adds.”
The cia went ahead with the attack even though it had been identified by the Venezuelans. Not exactly the brightest of moves… :-D
Just seen a CNN ticker tape, Pres Putin has cv19 and is in quarintine……….rumours?
CNN sean?? :-)
Seriously? LOL.
V.P. has been self isolating from day 1 – apart from support staff of course.
I noticed something once in a take from an office in the Kremlin, a stand alone pce of machinery with a fine grid front, quite big, what looked like a fan.
Turned out it was an air purifying unit, filtering all air of microbes, fungi, etc.
So I’d suspect he’s been very well protected.
Guess you missed ‘rumours’, and no, I don’t watch CNN per se, it’s called ‘monitoring the enemy’ otherwise one does not know what bullshit the rest of the plebs are being sold. So when I walk by the common room where several 80 year olds are glued to the screen, I like to razz them while they listen to the bs coming from the CNN talking heads. In good nature mind you, which they still don’t like, cause CNN always tells them the truth. Yikes
Yes, I did miss them,[rumours] and yes, do understand abut what “know what the enemy is doing”.
It’s why I used to read the UK Daily Mail and read some of the comments – watching the quality sink over the years tells me something of what is happening among the more educated and intelligent of the population are thinking.
Few of those bother to comment at DM, and the rejection of the Russophobia has grown, I think.
AS to the 80 year olds believing everything CNN tells them – yes, I remember that – as with obeying everything a doctor told them to do. A case of “old habits die hard” I guess.
But I was only “razzing” you , as you pout it. I have no doubt you dont take in the ilk of CNN for anything at all.
We are all so surprised, are we not, so many of us, at the behaviour of the USA lately??
I seem to keep reading articles about how “we are so close to fascism” in America, and “these latest laws, behaviours etc, are dangerously like fascism”.
I would suggest America has always been fascist, by design. ?
How do we define “fascism”? It derives of course from the name from the Latin for a bundle of sticks bound together to form one item. Sometimes an axe was included in the bundle. This gave rise to a concept of a rule of dictatorship, where the “sticks” are the many, the many being the people of the society, and the binding into one was the tight rule of law which all must abide by without question, surrendering their individual lives to the “bundle”, the many.
And the hand that held the fasces, was and is, always, held by the one who rules, be it one or a group. This symbol was used by Rome in it’s days of rulership and Empire. And it is the by Empire of today.
All we have to do is look back at the history of these people their utter destruction of any who would not follow their ways, their ideas and rules – the original inhabitants, the so-called “Native Indians” who are now estimated to have been a complex of separate peoples who yet lived together, and numbered close to 100 millions and are now about 2 million. The list, as we all well know, goes on into an unimaginable distance.
Yet they were actually telling us, all along. They’ve “hidden it in plane sight”
In their “American Symbol Eagle”, the right claw [hand] holds an olive branch [hah] and the left? Well, it’s a bunch of arrows held in one claw. Not exactly tied up, but it’s still the concept of the fasces.
But then they get more explicit. Both the Coat of Arms behind Congress, and the statue of their idol, Abraham Lincoln, very clearly and specifically bear two copies of the fasces.
Not making any bones about it, exactly, were they??
Great comment Pamela
On the money, as they say
Thank you Babuska.
It was a real “turn around” moment for me when I saw those things. When we recall the awful things the fascists of Nazism did, the blood runs cold at what the future might hold for so many. But it explains so much. Those early “Founding Father” and revolutionists had their sights set on what they wanted and planned down the years I suspect.
You made some intriguing comments in the last cafe, especially about some mystical things that happened to you – I’d love to carry on with that. If there’s one area that has always intrigued me — it’s that one. I suspect many of us have known such things, yet for some reason we never talk about them – I liked it that you did.
You must have felt so comforted by that assurance – that you weren’t alone.
How did I come to Ecuador? It was really just a process of elimination. The driver was that I had felt I had no choice about staying in Australia for the sake of my children in the early days. I didn’t like the place, but at that time I couldn’t give them the same life style anywhere else. When I was left alone with 2 little ones, I wanted to leap on the first plane back to Britain – but mainly finances stopped it. In UK the ruling class have made it hard to give kids from a not well off background the same chances I could get for them then in Aus. Also for myself as the doors were opened to “mature age” students. I could go to University, always a dream of mine, and there was no way I could do that in England. So I stayed.
But by the time both my children had both left for foreign fields, their own families and life, I felt I was free to go. And again it became a question of economics. Having a comfortable income opens doors. Having to count the pennies closes them.
The exchange rate between the Aussie $ and the UK pound was not “do-able”. I didn’t want Pacific Orient or Polynesian Spanish, or Africa – all far too hot and just not my thing. Europe was too crowded and expensive, so in the end Ecuador became the best choice. I didn’t know much about Russia at that point, except that it was very hard to get into due to highly selective Visa criteria. I was desperate to leave what had always felt like a foreign country – I thought “go and work the rest out from there”.
Seems odd I know. it’s not where I want to be, or would be if there were no barriers, but as a place to be which is very much 3rd best, it could be worse. It has it’s charm, it’s own unique atmosphere and culture. It’s just not “home”.
It’s a strange thing – I remember standing in Vladivostok looking around – at the huge, almost brutal architecture of the “Khrushchev” buildings, enormous blocks of apartments like nothing I’ve ever seen anywhere, so big they have multiple entrances, and the Cyrillic and Russian language signage everywhere, knowing nothing but a few roads and bus stops, yet I felt at home. I read of a few other Cymraeg who have said they found the same thing.
My memories are sharp and vivid, even to how the clumps of grass grow beside the road to the university on Russky island :-). But I dont feel like that here.
The old building around el Centro Historica have a strange, tumble down, ramshackle look, tall and slender, with memories of ancient diluted Spanish grandeur – wrought iron balconies, faded brick and potted geraniums.
But the people are different. I’ve never found people anywhere like the people of Russia.
There is a series on YouTube put together by a man – about in his 40’s I think – who had been in local TV in UK, and wanted something different, so he bought a “narrow boat” – long and thin built to travel the canals which were built to criss-cross the midlands of England really, up to the border with Cymru, for commercial reasons.
They hauled coal, in day gone by before huge highways and trucks were built. And other things. Now it’s a pleasure thing, but you can live on those boats. I love watching the English countryside go by as he details his trips, and the quaint oddities, the locks and their small pubs that I knew as a young woman. It’s good to see they are still there, and see an England not much changed to what I remember, and different to horrors recounted from the cities there in the GovProps.
Strange the things which interest us as time goes by, isn’t it?
but; – I’m rambling, i’m sorry. must be time for bed. :-)
Stay well mi amiga.

Came across this through an Awful Avalanche blog post.
Thoughts on this? Anyone?
I think he just decently stated the facts as they are, I’m sure this will continue, during summer in the northern parts the numbers will decrease and will increase in Africa and South America. That means, the statistics will have some changes until October, then another statisctics will take over with new numbers.
What I mean to tell, is that there is already a statistics-war in the making and we are just at the beginning, while the truth has to be discovered by us in the middle of a constant controversy.
Our beloved leaders have such nice plans with regard to microchips, immunity passports etc. always containing the sentence fragment ‘when there is a vaccine’.
The virus part which makes it so infective, is its highly effective receptors that are used to penetrate the cell membrane. They are identical to those of the HIV virus.
In some 40 years time we have not been able to develop a vaccine against HIV. What makes everybody so confident that we will find it now?
I’m not a microbiologist nor a medic, but sometimes I ask myself what we are going to do when we don’t have a vaccine.
Cheers, Rob
What on earth is happening in Russia with this Covid-19 disaster. Russia passed into second place behind the US for number of cases,and the figures are rising.The neo-liberals all over the world have used this hysteria over Covid-19 to secure their power over the world.And as of now are very effective.For years they have wanted to bring down Putin,and they have a pretty good shot at it now.Top officials in the Russian government seem to be catching the disease daily.Today one of Putin’s closest advisors Dimitry Peskov has been hospitalized for Covid. How long until Putin catches it? They could/should have learned from the Chinese.Very few of the Chinese leadership has been exposed to this disease.They seem to do a better job of protecting their leadership.And now the government is reopening the economy because they can’t or don’t want to,I don’t know which,continue to pay unemployed peoples wages.At first I thought Russia was doing better than anyone else with this pandemic.But now I see there is no national plan in place.And they turned over the Covid policy to the 88 regions in Russia to handle.Russia doesn’t have the kind of system for that to work.And nobody seems to be happy with it.The latest polls show Putin’s approval rating at the lowest of his entire terms in office.Instead of closing down the economy when you don’t have the means to pay people.They could/should have followed the policy of their closest neighbor Belarus.Who refused to close their economy.The latest figures show Belarus with a death rate of 15 per million people 142 in all,and no lock-down. And Russia at a death rate of 14 per million people 2116 in all, with a lock-down and damaged economy.
Of course Belarus is different, we must not forget that for many years, the west is portraying Lukashenko as the last dictator of Europe ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Lukashenko ) the country being isolated from the rest of Europe. The Belarus leader is still having the soviet spirit of handling his country which, until now, has shown a better effectiveness in this situation. Had the Soviet Union been alive and in full power today, we would have witnessed probably a much different picture than we have with Russia today.
A local case here that is starting to get some national traction, another pursuit that ended with a dead innocent black man, a case of citizens arrest gone afoul.
https://www.wrdw.com/content/news/State-legislator-to-hold-12-pm-news-conference-at-cemetery-where-Ahmaud-Arbery-is-buried-570403201.html
The reason its getting national attention is that new law is being considered based on this case. It appears that a significant, substantial number of these citizens arrest are made by ex or off duty cops. These are already bad guys in a bad profession who simply are having a hard time separating their professional duty’s from the private emotional side of the job. They just cant, or wont, let go of their need to target someone for personal control.
They are attempting to create a bill that among the contents is a no more citizens arrest clause. Now at first blush we as a nation automatically harp on the loss of citizens rights, and this could easily be portrayed as a loss of citizens rights, but in reality, (b/c we as a nation are not the sharpest interpretation tool in the shed), its a blessing b/c our citizens will no longer be targeted by the predators, “who do we go after next”, ex or off duty legal gang.
Now the legal gangsters will propagandize this to hell and back as criminal, but they are naturally the ones losing power so expect this from them.
Soon we’ll begin the media public debate on this subject to take our minds off the bug thing.
@alabama.
This issue is being agitated now to provide cover for the release of docs showing Obama was aware (maybe directing) the set-up of Flynn.
The incident/ death with the jogger happened 3 months ago. But only now the outrage switch has been dialled up to 11.
The idea is to have the race issue primed and ready to roll if Obama is implicated further in the Flynn fiasco.
BLM was funded by Soros, remember…
Ahead of Pompeo trip, US official says annexation can wait until after July 1
Senior staffer says timetable ‘isn’t rigid’ for US, message passed to Israeli officials, warns Palestinians
of ‘negative consequences’ if they sit out peace talks
by Toi Staff | May 13, 2020
A senior US official indicated that Israel could consider delaying a controversial push to annex parts of
the West Bank, according to a Hebrew-language report Tuesday.
The official, who spoke to Channel 13 news on condition of anonymity, said July 1, when the country’s
nascent coalition agreed it could kick off the annexation drive, “is not a sacred date” for the United
States.

Accidental Bleach, Disinfectant Poisonings Spike in US After Trump’s Injection Comments
https://sputniknews.com/us/202005121079286814-accidental-bleach-disinfectant-poisonings-spike-in-us-after-trumps-injection-comments/
“Based on the US Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, accidental poisonings from bleach and other disinfectants were in fact on the rise from January 1 to March 31, before Trump’s comments. However, they skyrocketed after he made the medically unsafe suggestions.
Accidental poisonings with household disinfectants in January, February and March of 2020 were up 5%, 17% and 93% respectively compared to the same months in 2019, according to the AAPCC. Following Trump’s comments, the increase for April 2020 was 121% compared to April 2019.
Days later at another White House briefing, Trump told reporters that he took no responsibility for the fact that some individuals took him seriously, stating that he couldn’t “imagine why” such a spike in reported poisonings would be unfolding. Following the questionable remarks, Trump reiterated to journalists that his comments were meant to be “sarcastic.”
A person with functioning grey matter should be able to make a reasonably intelligent judgement…but that precludes pindo zombiefication. Litterally the american mindset is more monkey see/hear (from “authority”, the lack of questioning, especially from the rightwing critters, is quite amazing) than human. No wonder zionazia found the usa such a pushover.
Actually, the Commonwealth Chorus may be close to being the most Clueless.
They just can’t seem to rid themselves of their E-Liz-a-bast-ard Queen and spend SO much energy on hating those other Once Luckier Colonials That (Partially) Escaped The Empire Upon Which The Sun Never Sets.
Like crabs or lobsters that reportedly use their claws to grab the tail of one getting out the trap’s tunnel they too SO resent those that dared to get partially out, once upon a time …that they apparently must soothe their highly offended egos……and play into Empire Games Like:
“Why Don’t We Get The Americans and Chinese To Fight???”
“Jolly good show, eh??
And goading the Amercans is ALWAYS great fun! That way we can feel better about ourselves being Commonwealth Country Subjects and Slaves.”
Of course you can find stupid people anywhere.
There’s no challenge in THAT!
The challenge is…can you overcome your ridiculous prejudice long enough to listen to an American that is strongly pointing to NATO (That means the Commonwealth TOO, y’all!) being the explicit agency behind this global False Flag that still has y’all fooled into your same old same old “little old victim-subject me” racket???
I’ll help George break it ( a slightly more productive, more effective approach than joining you in singing in the Empire Amen Chorus) down into little digestible bites for you.
For a little immunity from the Anglo-Virus…….first let’s start with the French National Anthem. Y’all DID wear them frogs down eventually……but for a couple of decades DeGaulle DID keep them out of NATO. I gotta give The French THAT much credit:

Webb’s Higher Hypothesis: This is NOT China OR the USA. It is A NATO run operation to use Military Athletes as carriers by air travel in similar fashion to the way that troops returning home from WW I…..by ship…and rail 102 years ago……spread the famous “Spanish” Flu.
And the Military Games in Wuhan were the planned gathering and spreading point……but Obama’s and Hillary’s people seeded the pathetic US Military Athletes Team with the virus to kick it all off.
With the help of not just American traitors to the human race….but a couple of key Iranian ones…….a few Chinese and Japanese and Korean globalist biowar psychos ….and so forth.
5 short videos lay out the most compelling hypothesis I have yet to run across…..in its relative completeness:

Pentathalete Elodie Clouvel….and her Wuhan Games Frecn Teamate and boyfriend Martin who have the antibodies now……because they were sick with it before the Competition in China ended…last October.
Video # 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRj9z2afXRY 6 min 39 sec Webb….an American thank god, not a Commonwealth Chorus Choir Boy……lol….agrees with the Chinese Foreign Ministry::
Stop focusing on petty fears and hatreds and start focusing on the soldier-athletes that visited China in October 2019.

Who could co-ordinate such a thing and HOW would they do it??? The NATO Blackberrys….citing the expertise of Lee Wheelbarger…a person that worked for Bill Binney at NSA….the NSA cannot penetrate those blackberrys…they say…a unique group of Empire Criminals with the secure communications needed to pull off such a Grand Caper….AND .the whole overview of the Plandemic In MULTI-YEAR PLANNING and something very much missed by all but WEBB: THe Cover-up of Bio and Chemical War Crimes from Libya, through Sudan, Syria and Yemen……..in a little more interesting fashion than citing MSM faked numbers like Colonel is still trying to use against Pamela…..and the Great Disaster In Ecuador that should have her scurrying back under the Lizard Queen’s skirts with the rest of y’all… to join the .Chorus of Fear and Loyal Royal Hand-Wringing in Anti-American Solidarity……as though Trump is the Villain… and not the target…quite obviously..

Bavari’s Nebraska Biotech and some more criminals of various nationalities….including Guiseppe _____….yes an Italian..and even a Russian or two. Unlike the Wuhan games this is NOT about national loyalties like the World Cup or some simple minded sports stupidity……
The ONLY time a flu virus ever spread so simultaneously like this was 102 years ago: MILITARY to Civilian Contagion…..but with air travel this time..
Identify the arsonists and stop their next bio-“arson”. And don’t blame Aunt Bessie’s (or whatever her bloody name was) Cow for the London Fire.
Blame the NATO couriers ….and the treasonous “mules” that transport the chemical and bio-agents…who can be of ANY nationality.

Are there plenty of Americans among the Empire psychpaths and their pimps and prostitutes?
Absolutely!
But I’ll wager there are also a lot more Americans fighting them on a MUCH more effective level …per capita.
The LAST thing I want to do is take anything from the really good patriots there …in K…AUs…NZ…etc….where it is TEN TIMES harder to free your minds…FACT!!!.
But before you indulge in the silly pretense that there are no Americans more effectively fighting the Empire …I merely suggest that you Brits…..Aussies….Kiwis……Afrikanners….Cannucks and all the others that still can’t quite get that portrait of the Lizard Queen off their living room walls……do THAT first.
Once y’all are finally liberated by yelling “F-her” instead of “God Save Her”…and y’all toss her wrinkled old mug in the trash……….we might finally get all the English speaking people of the world free and finally immune from……. That British Oligarchy Mind Control Over All Her “Loyal Subject” Peasants and Minions……VIRUS.
That’s a bigger threat to the human race than a good chunk of “Murica” is….at the rate things are going lately. Rapid improvement here: FACT

Even farther to go where y’all are from: Third Fact
G’night
(Oh …and please deal with the information in the videos…..not the deliverer of them. I’m just a steam vent….a pressure relief valve….. LOL)
I won’t pothis who was behind the spread, Nato, Zioto, or anyone else, but I have said since I was sick in Jan that the Military Games and the spread of ‘some’ virus in Wuhan were linked. The fact that cv19 was out and about in EU and US before games leads me to believe it was a ‘military’ innoculation for ‘some’ virus but mutated and spread. That the PTB would have prior knowledge, ready with alternate games plans, just in case, does not surprise me. Just looking at how different countries handled it differently, looks like part of the plan i.e. what works, what doesn’t, how much can we squeeze etc.

On the subject of world economy, politics, trafficking, pedophilia, sex, the British Royalty and artists, here’s the interview once more with the artist Maria Farmer :
https://www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/interviews/epstein-victim-maria-farmer-speaks-with-whitney-webb-full-phone-call-part-1/
Long conversation, but if your interested in any of the above, plus the double hub role of England – USA, listen.
This is just excellent! Absolutely fantastic interview with a highly qualified scientist from Ireland, who is totally shredding to bits current COVID narratives. Please watch it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Avc6_ftzk3w&fbclid=IwAR02uTnIIUtKbElrVgv8f4RY8-2mnWSrgKcBMXKCB-kDdYHYU7ZbVCFO5Xo
Agreed. If I were 10 years younger I would dub it into Spanish and get it down to the Ecuadorian Health Ministry before they heed the Covid Colonel.
Predictions:
1) If Pamela hates my reply to vt …………….she will nevertheless really like your Irish Doctor Dolores Cahill rebuttal of Cowardly Compliance With The Covid Cabal.
2) The Colonel will be MOST displeased.
3) So also will Baal Gates be highly annoyed.
Its amazing that that which is the MOST transparent in terms of globalist genocidal and regime change (in the USA) motives…… is most opaque to victims of Empire Mind Control.
Oh Bro, dear Bro
I hate to confess
of what you replied
to vt
I couldn’t know less.
I must have skimmed or read
late at night
or I surely would have said
“Oh yes, you got it right”.
But it’s a mystery to me
like wondering
what lies
in the depths of the sea
So would you, could you,
pretty please,
tell me again,
what it led to?
And ohh yes, the wonderful Doctor Cahill, what a wealth of knowledge and experience, what a depth of grasp of a very complex world. Courageous, objective, fully informed. It was a link well worth having, and needless to say, has been shared!!
Yes the victims of Mind Control are “gone” I”m afraid. The Mind Benders got their brains and ate them all up long ago. All they can do now is echo without understanding.
We can only pity and let them stumble by.
Poor Colin, I feel he might be feeling the tide sweeping o’er him. The Ides of March are past, and tides are changing, sweeping away the old; what they bring however, is another thing.
On the contrary, I would be delighted if Cahill was correct on all counts…but…
#1 She claims that she has had Cv-19 but has recovered and is therefore immune for life. She doesn’t offer any evidence as to why she assumes she will have life long immunity. How can she claim this any more than saying she has immunity for life from the common cold, the flu or shingles?
#2 She completely ignores the obvious spikes in excess deaths in her own country…
https://www.rte.ie/news/coronavirus/2020/0506/1136898-explainer-excess-mortality-and-how-its-calculated/
…and in countless other countries around the world which show excess mortality rates dramatically spiking in direct correlation with the spread of CV-19…
https://www.health.org.uk/news-and-comment/charts-and-infographics/understanding-excess-mortality-the-fairest-way-to-make-international-comparisons
#3 Which leaves me to wonder…is it the scientific voice that speaks the loudest in this instance or perhaps the political point-scoring one?
#4 Cahill acknowledges the fact that this virus has been lab-engineered but then appears to assume that it is predictable in the way it will manifest itself as it spreads around the world and will turn out to be a non-event…all I can say is, best of luck with this glaring assumption.
I do love her views on vaccines, however.
Cheers

#2 She completely ignores the obvious spikes in excess deaths in her own country…
Probably wise to do so.
The last time detailed statistics were provided in the North of Ireland (17th April) the median age of death was 81, on page 9 here:
https://www.publichealth.hscni.net/sites/default/files/2020-04/COVID-19%20Surveillance%20Bulletin%2017.04.20.pdf
“Of 175deaths with data, the median age was 81years old of which 76(43%) were female and 99(57%) were male.”
Let’s assume a symmetrical distribution around the median then the median and mean coincide.
All cause death for NI is:
https://www.health-ni.gov.uk/news/publication-life-expectancy-northern-ireland
“In 2016-18, life expectancy in Northern Ireland (NI) was 78.7 years for males and 82.4 years for females, similar to last year (2015-17).”
If these all cause figures were applied to the health service reported covid-19 gender split the average age of all cause death would be
78.7 x 0.57 + 82.4 x 0.43 = 80.29
This, being less than the health service covid-19 reported male/female age of 81, infers that the covid-19 sub-group deaths are, in fact, helping to raise the all cause average age of death.
So, if there is in reality any excess death then it is mathematically impossible that covid-19 is its cause. You should look for a different source.
Regarding your cdc.gov link, there are no average age of death statistics reported it is therefore impossible to say whether, if there is any excess all cause death, that covid-19 is responsible
Regarding your #1, totally agree, very strange comments from Dr Cahill.
And the excess mortality rate for New York where the deaths per million are estimated at 1402… https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6919e5.htm
…not pretty, neither are these numbers…
New Jersey 1092
Connecticut 853
Belgium 763
Massachusetts 746
From that cdc link:
“The 5,293 excess deaths not identified as confirmed or probable COVID-19–associated deaths might have been directly or indirectly attributable to the pandemic.”
On the other hand they might have been directly or indirectly attributable to the excess alcohol abuse or lack of cancer treatment etc etc
https://www.itv.com/news/2020-04-22/60-000-cancer-patients-could-die-because-of-lack-of-treatment-or-diagnosis-oncologist-on-coronavirus-dilemma/
“Coronavirus will steal the headlines, but cancer kills 450 people a day in the UK – there is no peak and the numbers aren’t coming down. Unless we act urgently, that number will rise. A group of oncologists, including myself, estimate that 60,000 cancer patients could die because of a lack of treatment or diagnosis.”
Thank you very much for that link KINZAZA – it is indeed and excellent interview with a very hihly credentialled woman. Indeed, when Governments aren’t listening to what someone of her calbire is telling them, a woman who has been a Government advisor for years, then it more and more throws the ligt onto the question “What in blazes are they doing and why?”
There truly is no longer any excuse for the actions they are taking which causing such a massive melt down in economy and human health.
We have to say, if Governments are ignoring this lady, Dr.Markovits, epidemiology specialists, microbiology specialists, practising doctors from Europe across the 5 eyes nations in order to listen to ——Bill Gates——- a man with not one iota of any medical, scientific or public health training or experience, but a Johnny- come – lately with a big wallet he got from gaming the system — just what is happening ??
Got this little story second hand from the persons involved, not from internet or social media but many people may recognize similar somewhat *cov-19-cough-cough* inconsistent “security” situations world wide.
Personally I do find it funny: THEY, power grabbing and policing, don’t grasp virus logic, they now expose themselves with their “security measures” having not much to do with “our security” at all.
“Funny or not, it makes you think.

The airport of Zurich almost empty but there was a lot of armed police to ensuring that distance is maintained and that nobody sits on the benches, because forbidden.
Signs ask to keep distance and loudspeakers repeat it continuously.
Then my acquaintance can finally get in… into a full plane, indeed.
FULL, not a single empty seat.
So you sit there for 3 hours packed, but okay, everybody’s got their mouth mask on, such a relief.
But then comes the moment of the meal, and… well,
I’ve seen somebody smoke with a mouth mask through a hole, but eat??
So everybody take off their mouth masks and have a nice feast.
Getting out in Lisboa, again one around except, police, signs and speakers.
Of course that flight did make money roll, the two way ticket was about 1300 euro.”
Well, people still have the habit of eating and drinking not only foe joy but for necessity, that will not change. But nowadays this is giving some haedaches to those who want to reform all this. Soon the restaurants will open and probably the same will happen as in that plane. I don’t want even to speak about what would be if…let that remain as a bad immagination…hopefully it will stay that way.
Talking of Empire Crab mentality, and those that got away, well, it’s definitely enough to make you weep, and I can’t resist sharing this speech from Shakespeare’s Two Gentlemen of Verona :
I think Crab, my dog, be the sourest-natured
dog that lives: my mother weeping, my father
wailing, my sister crying, our maid howling, our cat
wringing her hands, and all our house in a great
perplexity, yet did not this cruel-hearted cur shed
one tear: he is a stone, a very pebble stone, and
has no more pity in him than a dog: a Jew would have
wept to have seen our parting; why, my grandam,
having no eyes, look you, wept herself blind at my
parting. Nay, I’ll show you the manner of it. This
shoe is my father: no, this left shoe is my father:
no, no, this left shoe is my mother: nay, that
cannot be so neither: yes, it is so, it is so, it
hath the worser sole. This shoe, with the hole in
it, is my mother, and this my father; a vengeance
on’t! there ’tis: now, sit, this staff is my
sister, for, look you, she is as white as a lily and
as small as a wand: this hat is Nan, our maid: I
am the dog: no, the dog is himself, and I am the
dog–Oh! the dog is me, and I am myself; ay, so,
so. Now come I to my father; Father, your blessing:
now should not the shoe speak a word for weeping:
now should I kiss my father; well, he weeps on. Now
come I to my mother: O, that she could speak now
like a wood woman! Well, I kiss her; why, there
’tis; here’s my mother’s breath up and down. Now
come I to my sister; mark the moan she makes. Now
the dog all this while sheds not a tear nor speaks a
word; but see how I lay the dust with my tears.

Why it’s wrong (and racist) to blame Covid-19 on Chinese ‘wet markets’ – May 13, 2020
https://www.newcoldwar.org/why-its-wrong-and-racist-to-blame-covid-19-on-chinese-wet-markets/
The stigmatization of Asian people and their culture as “inferior” or “exotic” isn’t a new phenomenon. What is considered acceptable or “strange” meat is often the result of arbitrary cultural norms, and Chinese food has often suffered from hypocritical cultural appropriation once it became popular, before being stigmatized again by racist and propagandistic news coverage following the Covid-19 outbreak (FAIR.org, 3/6/20, 3/24/20). Alongside a spike in hate crimes against Asian people are reports of Asian restaurants and other businesses—especially those owned and run by Chinese people—struggling to survive because of resurging racist stereotypes about “dirty” Chinese eating habits
Russiagate has morphed into Obamagate.
Where is this ‘gate’ thing from. It is old and comes from Watergate where Richard Nixon resigned the presidency instead of being impeached.
It is just a continuation of a very long list of political scandals in the US, and is not special. It is, as they say in golf which I played one time in my life .. par for the course and serve to remind us that the US government and its crony capitalism and its elites are the dirtiest bunch in the world.
People are all up for Obamagate and they think something will be done to Obama. Well, I think what will be done to Obama is exactly the same as what was done to Hillary. Nothing. It is just given to the US people to let them think something is being done but the administration saves itself.
All the ‘gate’ scandals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_%22-gate%22_scandals
Just in case you felt a bit bored with Covid-19 fears, and would like something else to keep you awake o’nights, here’s a nice little bit of bed time reading from Vladimir Platov.
https://journal-neo.org/2020/05/13/pentagon-s-silent-killers/
Oh dear.
Not to worry – I don’t have Covid-19 fears. I was talking about the various ‘gates’. Did not think that was so difficult to follow.
I was being flippant only amarynth. And although I did put it in a ‘reply” to you, I must admit I was addressing it everyone in my mind.
I dont think everyone is afraid of this virus. I know I’m not.
it’s just a figure of speech, you know. Perhaps my “Australian” street speech is not familiar to you
I guess we’ve all done something like that before. No, I would expect that few here would get Australian street speech. Let’s not derail the topic though, in whichever language.
So, this guy has a good writeup about so-called Russiagate. While there is a big shoutout that these people wanted to destroy Trump, there is little attention paid on the destruction that it caused for Russia.
Turns out that the US .gov was all time time paying for this. This is a longer article so, a short quote cannot really do it justice.
“Pushing the hoax
Of course, promoting ‘Russiagate’ wasn’t limited to the immigrant community. The likes of Bill Kristol, Michael McFaul, John Podesta and Clint Watts are all connected to the German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMFUS), another DC lobby group which receives US government funding.
Watts was front and centre in pushing the hoax, while McFaul was at one point ubiquitous on cable news shows waffling on about Russia helping Trump to win the 2016 election. Podesta, meanwhile, alleged his emails were hacked by Russia while he was chair of Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential campaign.
The GMFUS receives over $1 million annually from both the US State Department and USAID. Meanwhile, the Atlantic Council gets between $500,000 and $999,000 a year from the same State Department and $100,000 to $249,000 from each of the US Air Force Academy and the US Department of Defence.
Which means Trump’s government is partially funding the people who tried to destroy his presidency, based on a falsehood obvious to honest observers from the very start. So much for the US president’s campaign promise to “drain the swamp.””

Perhaps we should bear in mind the damage done to Russia.
As this Cafe session sinks into the sunset, I’m called to do doggerel :

Views not hip?

Rats jump ship?

Just as I was ‘called’ to call out the snitches and sly snipers here
Well done Synchronicity
You have saved me the effort
Thank You Anonymous

The way I see it, this Café community of the Vineyard might be a Brains Trust in which we each bring the best of ourselves, and allow others to do and be the same.
Not one of us is perfect.
If anyone watched the video I posted ‘in the morning’ of this Café, JP Sears presents an hilarious yet sincerely serious lesson on how to embrace one’s weirdness: how to be uniquely you
In our heavily-programmed/brainwashed/confused society, we learn to expect pain and humiliation.
Egos clashing with egos leads only to more crushed egos.
How does that help anyone, let alone our broken world.
Why be a perpetrator of all that brokenness and destruction?
There are many wise and balanced, talented and earnest commentators here, with diverse backgrounds, skill-sets and world views.
Let us celebrate our differences while fighting the good fight
Sly snipers and snitches, you know who you are. Please grow some maturity and wisdom.
Enjoyed that JP Sears video Babuska. Thank you.
I tried a second time to bring an article by Vladimir Platov, maybe that could generate some discussion.
More and more I am seeing a world confused by it’s attempt to live as we always have on a limit of energy, water, and most of all, ideas.
Except ideas for ways to destroy the planet. I increasingly wonder if it’s becoming a race between the Empire destroying the world and world waking up in time to stop the Empire.
At the moment, I just dont know. I want to believe the World will stop the Empire, but there are times when it doesn’t seem to so likely.
And we have another month of being locked away and living in isolation. Being surrounded by what seems like increasing insanity doesn’t help balance I fear.
The little wild cat that came here for a feed ran away to make babies. I think she has the right idea :-)
You are right, understanding that others have a different world view and we all grow if we share our different talents is the best and happiest way to grow.
I found a fascinating quote from Charles Darwin, which I had not known he said:
“In the long history of human kind (and animal kind too ) those who learned to collaborate most effectively have prevailed.
Not what the ersatz-nuevo-Darwinists would have us believe he thought, is it.?
But I think more and more that it’s the saving grace for humanity. To live in small communities, which live by the principle of mutual aid to mutual benefit, and acceptance of minor differences, growing the community intelligence because it becomes an entity, not of one mind and one talent, but of many minds and many talents.
It isn’t growth of population that leads to happy feeding troughs for the psychopaths, but the concentration of many in vast cities, where power over millions of others resides.
The village civilisation lasted across vast lands and many nations for millennia. Perhaps its where we need to return.
What strikes me in this conversation between Ivor Cummins and Dr. Paul Saladino MD is that both are truly not callous or insensitive. There is stuff like 9/11 from Saladino but let’s allow him his eyepatches in this instance, because his other work is realistic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRL_Mgiu_uc
Early on there is reference to a model, which I have not checked out but I think it is likeable, because it is a multi-variable model. Interesting comments – like, you can’t hide from a virus – well you can hide from a virus if you are physically in a state of strong immunity. You duke it out .. what is stronger. Its either you, or the virus. (OK, the factors here are more complex in reality but this is a starting point).
They also talk about how the numbers change – and the numbers and statistics war is a war for yesterday, because today it is materially different. There is solid analysis in terms of where we stand now, but the metric used is one of total death count/total mortality rate in relation to previous years because this is the only reliable statistic. I like the way that Saladino approaches this by following a design and engineering approach, if we don’t have this or that, we start postulating from what we have .. the last point of accuracy. That feels comfortable, because we know that either it is too early for real numbers, or the numbers are politically used. It is a simple metric and overcomes all the nonsense about excess mortality rate which most countries do not count, or who wrote out a death certificate for what, frequently political views.
The overall idea here is that lockdowns (if they were any good anyways) in the west came too late to change anything. Make of that what you will but it is altogether interesting – well presented and without hysteria. They speculate about the why, and the ‘rescue’ of the medical infrastructure. They do not go into economics but there was an ideal space for that.
We see a numbers war, but we forget that the numbers that we need to war about is the economic numbers. The one fellow mentions that once one deals with the rational facts, people do not answer, they just walk away. And finally, this virus will be with us for some time to come.
And then the issue of immunity is by no means clear.
What still strikes me, is the ease of who decides who can die and it will be OK. This makes me want to resign from the human race.
There is good discussion about why it is that our old people are infirm. There is an infirmity with age, says the one fellow. Well, what are we eating?. Perhaps I have been fortunate. My father in law was still teaching the local primary school kids how to grow flowers at over 90 years of age. I asked him one time, why he is not as sick as the people around him and to tell me what it is like getting old as elegantly as he was getting old. He explained .. well, you do just what you want to do, you just plan better and you do it slower but you keep busy. I do not believe age must equal infirmity. I like what Saladino says about accelerators of aging that people choose to do .. and again, diet and health is key. If you take nothing away from this, start at timemarker 1:00 and the takeaway there to absolutely reduce your chances of being infected by immune system strengthening.
So, I would recommend this video to those who want out of the hysteria and the numbers war. No, I am not fully in agreement with everything, but I find the approach and the discussion worth while.
And then a final comment (not in this video). It is noticeable how many of the western people that discuss this, are not taking China’s experience into account, and this is completely ignored. All in all the western viewpoint, generally what the western thinkers will consider fair exchange (for example, how many deaths per population and so on), is not acceptable in China. It is glaringly clear now that they think differently and the sheer size of the civilizational misunderstanding is clearer and clearer in our world. The other issue is that I’ve often made people aware that China is expecting a 2nd phase. This indeed is happening now. Again they are locking down where they have outbreaks.

Its like the flu, at one point in your life you get the flu, and you either survive the flu, most cases a bit weaker than before you contracted it, or you dont. They say over time, many years, everyone will eventually come into contact with this bug, and you will either survive it, weakened or not, or you wont.
You can chalk it up to gods plans for everyone and take it as you must, hard or soft, the choice is yours. What is not yours is living a normal life w/o coming into contact with the bug.
Came across this video on WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, and Mossad.
youtube.com/watch?v=UjW4s5EtG6s
Thoughts?
@Digby
My thoughts= complete and total disinfo BS…
Assange is terrifying to Them.
One of their many tools is to create multiple narratives, “limited hangouts” that contain some verifiable “facts” and then veer off into the weeds.
We see this with 9/11. Now so many versions and distractions around the mechanics of *how* it was done.
All leading away from the all important *who* and *why*
Assange is the hero we don’t deserve.
I could’ve sworn something was fishy.
In case you’re wondering where I first found it, I stumbled upon an OffGuardian column someone embedded in a previous Moveable Feast Cafe.
One commentator posted the video in an attempt to change OffGuardian’s minds about Assange (or ‘Mossange’ as he/she calls him).
Another commentator had a link to SpitfireList which IIRC back in 2016 considered WikiLeaks to be ‘fascist’ and ‘alt-right’. (I mean, Assange managed to expose USian war crimes, and this is how Dave Emory thanks him? Or is he bitter about Clinton’s defeat?)
Ok. Here’s a topic i thought could do with some exposure, even discussion.
https://journal-neo.org/2020/05/13/pentagon-s-silent-killers/
Doesn’t look hopefull.
I read it the first time you posted it, Pamela.
Made me feel sick as it made me think of those people who poisoned the village well.
Those people who spawned The Messiah; who taught people to do good to their enemy; to love neighbour as thyself.
Nothing has changed, except for the increasing ‘sophistication’ of the usual suspects.
I’m noticing these days how especially schizophrenic is the bleating of the crass media, here in the antipodes where on the same page one reads about trade bans with China, wealthy Chinese coming here in pursuit of wealth and health, buying up firesale properties, it just burns out your brain if you spend time thinking on it all. Meanwhile, out on the streets we meet crowds of new arrivals from far away countries and in the stores, some staff almost spit with nasty venom while others turn themselves inside out with kindness.
Yesterday I saw a check-out staff member wearing one of those clear plastic protective helmets.
Someone stands to make a lodda money out of that monstrosity.
We are not allowed to live in local communities with shared values. We will be hounded and hunted, like the children of the pedophiles.
Smart Cities are the way of the globalists.
Hence a new ‘ancient city’ named Babylon in western Sydney.

This interview has no doubt been presented here before.
In the last section Bezmenov describes 4 stages of totalitarian takeover:
1.Demoralisation – demoralised people are unable to evaluate truth/reality
2. Destabilisation
3. Crisis – might only take 6 weeks
4. Normalisation – promising all the goodies; creating false illusion that ‘they’ have the situation under control
This phase lasts indefinitely
There is a serious discussion elsewhere in the Vineyard about Israel
The way I see it, the ‘empire’ is not just US but also the UK, Germany, France
The factions which created Israel are in all these countries; they also created UN et al
As I’ve said so many times before: we are all Palestinians
American Indians
Australian aboriginals
etc etc etc
Ours is now a universal struggle for Life
