The unlevelled heads
Caught in times warp
Of Obama misfortune
Talking about Trump
yet to be humbled;
big heads are last to make it
through time’s warp and woof
”the threads that run lengthwise ( warp) and crosswise ( woof) in a woven fabric’ 15th century idiom !
the warp threads are held secure and straight by the weft (woof) threads.
the warp and the weft of time’s weaving make the fabric of human solidarity and love.
lockdown warps the mind.
wee willy littley,
weeping quite bitterly,
eating his curds and whey;
that winsome boy,
caught in a ploy,
trying to make words play…
tried to say something,
make it as one thing,
but words they got in his way!
the whey of the warp and the woof ! classic electronic confusion, curds eater, its like this.
first comment/post, people stuck in the mind-set of Obama negativity, trump impeachment fans ?
Dimitar’s first haiku, big heads meaning arrogant, as large heads need some slimming humble pie ?
second comment meant warp in the sense of warped wood or the mind, as weft lacks the woof… so social distancing erodes solidarity, warps the mind, solidarity comprises the weaving together of lives in marvelous manifold ways, so off topic, in a sense ; )
I’ve sent Wee Willy to bed w/out supper for getting mixed up in our ‘big folks business’…ccc…
Matthew 7, 1-6 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
It is little Miss Muffet who eats curds and whey, and the spider who frightens her away, and she should not be condemned to go to bed without supper. Willy Winkie has had supper already, and is having fun :
The correct children’s rhyme identified, found on the English for Students website…………
Wee Willy Winkie ran through the town
Up stairs and down stairs in his night gown,
Rapping on the window,
Peeking through the lock,
Are all the children in their beds?
For now it’s eight o’clock.
Prefer to make up my own, but thanks for the refresher. I like the absolute simplicity of nursery rhymes.
ananonimous winkle had tons of word pun-fun, but thanks for the refresher ; )

For those confused about the lyrics, the things the singer asks for in Scarborough Fair are all impossible.
A shirt with no seams.
An acre of land between the sea and the beach (seastrand).
To harvest grain with a leather blade (leather isn’t very sharp), and bundle the stalks with heather (a fragile twig-like flower; doesn’t make for very good rope or string).
The singer says his ex-lover will be his true love again once she does these things (never).
Great song with great Lyrics, without the absurdity of questions it wouldn’t be, yet absurd and impossible live in harmony in this song.
Here is something for you and all Babushka’s we remember, a song by Karel Gott with the title Babitscka (Babuška, Babushka, Grandma) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMYR30EwOxA Karel Gott-Babicka
Many thanks ioan. Such a happy, jaunty, innocent European sound, which I’ll always love and always miss.
I do feel very blessed that I can be and do these things with my precious, lively grandchildren, well, maybe not stealing horses, and no church bells in Australia, but the other ingredients are all present, in these sad and tense times
Peace Strength and Blessings to You

It’s Simon’s weaving of “Canticle” – the second song – into “Scarborough Fair” that makes his version special.
Mars in Pisces uniting the sharp entity of syringe with the commitment of innocent love.
Into this constellation fits the commitment of scientists of the Russian team that injected their invented vaccine into themselves. And now appeared all of them developed antibodies !! Heaven rules: it has to be so. And if man acts off love, it will be so.
https://astromundanediary.blogspot.com/2020/05/a-square-of-spirit-and-physical.html
The best vaccine I can think of is a total shutdown of the biological weapons-grade labs that created the virus.
Yes, yes, and yes again to the dismantlement/disarmament of labs of mutual destruction. Perhaps one of those astroids coming earth ways will do it for us? People have crawled out of caves before after mass extinction events or so the story goes in some quarters.
The bright side of the age of Aquarius is that there will always exist a resistance to the bully-Aquarians who set up the new better, best order ( Lenin types) and demand total adherence always in the name of some higher good, mind you.( even FDR and Abraham Lincoln, yes in their day) Then there are the rebels with or without a cause Aquarians sometimes a thorn in the side to the former types .
Rosa Parks, Angela Davis, Virginia Woolf, Anton Chekov, and my favorite, Galileo….( social credit score of zero in his day)!
I hear that all too often ‘…when we have a vaccine’.
Unfortunately, what I have distilled so far from scientific studies:
– A significant percentage (I’ve read 40, but also 80% – so it might be 60%) of infected people have no symptoms at all.
– Of the people that get sick, only 20% develops immunity.
– Both tests of infection, and developed antibodies are very unreliable (uncertainty 80% and 50%, respectively, and that last one was warned of by the CDC).
– The infective part of the virus is identical to HIV. In some 30-40 years no one was able to develop a vaccine for that. SARS vaccine was tested on animals, but unfortunately all animals died – from the vaccine.
And just today, I’ve read that the published study in The Lancet about dangers of Hydroxychloroquine are based on quite corrupt data (e.g. only patients without the Zinc component, which is essential, and so some more): https://www.zerohedge.com/health/lancet-study-caused-who-drop-hydroxychloroquine-trials-falls-under-scrutiny
This stinks. In some countries (like France) it is even forbidden. I think, while this method is relatively cheap, that Big Pharma demands their earnings.
@John4Truth: Agree, but let’s keep in mind that Ebola, Spanish flu, Lassa, Marburg and the like didn’t come out of a lab…
Cheers, Rob
I am pretty sure the swineflu was created in a lab, and I believed in the scientific report that proved it and thought the WHO would take notice when that came out, but they did not. They already had their science fixed as always so that was the first time I became of the enormous corruption involved in science. There is an enourmous corruption now and science are more political than ever. China have the largest output of science reports in the world and they keep referring to each other works of course which means they are published as peer-reviewed for example in Nature. There are schemes for payments for researchers to be attached to reports as reported from Chines. At this time the Chinese communist party are controlling all reports pertaining to the coronavirus. So when you say Ebola was not developed in a lab I don’t believe it either. Judy Mikovits just confirmed that the Ebola virus that may infect humans with the disease were developed at Fort Detrick she was actually involved in the work while there.
The spanish flu were an early Rockefeller situation so more or less an exact copycat of today’s biolabs funded by the globalist operators such as Bill Gates, the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds (IBM) and has even a globalist Gates Cambridge School in the tradition of the Rothschild syndicate, and he is very predictably into vaccines, depopulation and the Planned Parenthood or medical abortion for the same goals. “We may reduce the population by 15 % vaccination and health services” according to Bill Gates.

Interesting links, thanks for that.
Swineflu: definitely. Also interesting that this disease has a mysterious appetite to pop up in populations that needs to be put under USA interest controls.
‘Spanish flu’: There is not so much ‘spanish’ to that. It might have originated in Kansas. Those experiments are imaginable (funny that the Dr. involved also has the name ‘Gates’), the circumstances not favorable (end of WW1), and a medical science a far cry away to what we have now.
Which leads to the ethical question, what persuasion is fueling the need for mass murder if not to say genocide. It is definitely not corresponding to my moral and belief.

OK, Rob . I think there are several stages or levels involved in that question so it would take a lot of analysis to get to the bottom of it. So on the operational level one may think it has been fueled by a mix of Fabian Society Socialism which was national socialism that disagreed with the german NSDAP on the question of racial discriminination, and the fear of the nobility of being overrun by people. and that was making the elites support the policies of socialism as it was taught by national socialism and democratic socialism . The two system are basically the same stripping out german national interest from the NSDAP programme to create that system generally in the world. In democratic socialism of the Fabian Society, it became a pure model of economics and based on pure logic of the Society, a worker or citizen had to prove their own supportability to society (sic.) contrary to the racial “proven” (sic.) inadequate supportability of the society. The goal seem to be the same, the disappearance of the “useless”, killing of the “useless” citizens. So it may seem that Fabian socialism (democratic socialism) is an ulitmate or developed model of discrimination and subsequent disposal of undesired people.
Modern theories of sustainability (Rockefeller, Rothschild org.) that dominate politics and various organisations that run politicians have adopted a policy of sustainability thereby creating an ideological basis of depopulation and a one world government governance based on their corporations that practically run the EU, UN and the politicians of the world at this time, base their policies on creating a socialist world government that are used for depopulations, in effect the old policies of nazism and socialism using virus , vaccines, and modern “health and medicine” as well as war to achieve their goals.
In effect people support killing themselves, or as the old nazi scheme, transport themselves to the work camp.
The elites behind this are not creating any form of democracy such as in the name of democratic socialism it is the vessel to achieve their goals, and a dictatorship.

Dragan Dautovski; “Kluč” ( Key ), Master Musician Dragan Dautovski plays glass replicas of a 6,000 year old ocarina ( neolithic globular flute ) and Kaval ( Macedonian wooden flute ). Evocative and otherworldly, accompanied by Harp.
Beautiful, never seen and heard something like this before, time ceased to exist as this man gave life to these old instruments again, making me have a long forgotten nostalgia buried in time and space.
Thank you for sharing !
The notes coming out of the ocarina suggest a very far-off world… considering it’s neolithic origins, it’s an insight of sorts into a state of consciousness far and away from our own. When he comes in on it, after opening with the kaval, it initially sounds North American Indian.

Madness in Minnie last night. The Apartheid trainded cops whacked a US citizen Occupation Style. When theys stops brezzin, theys dead! Less medical bills for the state to worry about, long term recovery and all that.
My respects and condolances to the family of the man killed. We really are all Palestinians.
Please read Jim Stone on that stunt:
http://82.221.129.208/.vl0.html
To sum this up in terms that my fellow inhabitants of Looneylandia will understand, The US pilots were d-cking with the Russians ( stupid threats and invasive fly-bys) and the Russians decided to say, ” Do not, we repeat, do NOT F-ck with us.”
OK,now who is the alpha in this brinkmanship game?…
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/watch-russian-jets-another-unsafe-intercept-us-spy-plane-near-syrian-airbase
Further rant–feel free to skip: It is depressing…
by the way, the young of Looneylandia are on line playing, yes, stupid cyberspace games.. We are dealing with a generation of people who think they can achieve success in fantasyland without real consequences in the physical world
…or that burning down small businesses in your own community is a revolutionary act. That building united fronts with other people who happen to be white against police brutality is an act of racial betrayal. Or hiding the fact of police brutality of black cops on black people is showing true race pride.
I just lost a friend for awhile ( we aren’t speaking) who thinks the likes of Bill Gates is the way of the future( (take your CCP social score and shove it) and that any opposition of the merits of 5G is Luddite folly.( no, there is always alternative fiber optic network) So I have decided to lower my expectations for rational thinking in America these days. The fall back is Metaphor and sarcasm.
My local grocery store has someone on a microphone watching via hidden cameras and if you forget social distancing ( even with an N95 mask on) they go on live mike to remind everyone to social distance. Soon they will be calling you out by name and exiling you from the store. thus, I am going to the local farmer’s market where at least the Farmers think that social distancing in an open air market is nuts….but they pretend compliance with masks and lines etc.
Now at the really poor people locations: Convenience stories and laundromats ( shunned by the middle class etc) no one is paying any attention to masks or distancing because they are too busy trying to survive economically and psychologically. I keep wanting to say…”Vitamin D and MK7, zinc..magnesium,C– take them…they are cheap, you can buy them at Walmart.” If only one,,,,then Vis D!!! at least.”
sigh.the real coup is that now everyone views everyone else as a potential contaminant—gone in the wind is social solidarity.
Potential contaminant…………….no more hand shakes, no more hugs and kisses. No more shared communal pathogens, no more herd immunity.
I was pondering hand shakes, a man thing. Then I thought of all those women, every where, who greet with a hug and or kiss. Is this a form of lost ancient knowledge, of how herd immunity works and why personal touch makes more sense (for the relitivily healthy) than social/physical distancing?
…and, an entire industry (maybe the oldest) went in geopardy. I’m gald I’m not young and have no such stringent needs any more. If it wasn’t clear enough, I’m speaking about sex-industry which got a huge hit, no talks here about that even if we are not in a church. I was thinking on how the police or whomever, could stop the spread of oldest business now turned to be made in shadow and darkness like with the alcohol prohibition in the US of the 30’s. If you think people will behave in fear, you’re wrong, it has already started, being caught they are learning but not giving up.
I liked your rant terra, even I understood it ; – ) And you wrote of aero-provocations directed at Russia, that was interesting.
The issues regarding loss of social solidarity arise from fear leading to distrust, anger, paranoia depression, suicide and so forth, and are really what many warned of on here from March, including the UK updates I wrote. Everything you write above is much the same in England since 9 weeks..
Nothing is enforced yet, the lockdown strangely lessening without clear guidance, while increased public notices about Covid doomsday, microphone reminders in stores, indicate more repression …
I appreciate the complementary health input, but once fear has developed and played out, we’re on different ground requiring radical new thinking.
Yes, I also like the rant. What I see, is the anger these last few days. People are angry and it is a thin line between acceptable behavior and the unacceptable. I also wonder in terms of social solidarity .. how deep does it actually go? If it can be wiped out in a few months?
The question of social solidarity and how deep it goes is very good, but the anger in this case is a state in a chain reaction, not necessarily the healthy rant kind ! Its in process as the 5 stages of dying identified by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, where social distancing and lockdown are mandatory and lead to the death of social cohesion, lovelessness between people.
I don’t see it as a good idea to judge behaviors as being acceptable or not, based on this picture.
Touch and physical contact are hugely important in everyday life, a child who has been deprived of this sense of touch will die, that is proven in orphanage situations, and also increases their susceptibility and risk of illness.
“(take your CCP social score and shove it)”
That made me laugh out loud – thank you for that. And Applause Applause for the statement :-)
I like your rant, and unfortunately the same observations can be seen here in Europe too…
That ‘social distance’ is a kind of pseudo-science. What is a safe distance? 1.5 m. or 2 m. (both are mentioned for certain cases), or 6 feet in the USA (ca. 1.9 m.)? Just see this Japanese study, in a room the aerosols can be around for some 20 minutes. Important is *ventilation*.
I can sense the frustration especially in the car traffic. Suddenly ‘distance’ is no longer so needed, making room for inserting cars, why? And you can almost feel the short fuses.
Let me add a couple of numbers of the first breakout in Germany, when our dear leaders and experts still did nothing and hushed it away. In a small village (Gangelt, ca. 2000 inhabitants), 300 people have partied carnival in a local hall. A few weeks later 755 people were sick, and 8 have died insofar – status 3 weeks ago.
But hey, an ‘app’ will solve everything, no?
Cheers, Rob
Oops, I forgot to place the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2azcn7MqOU

Rob,
they did do nothing but not in the way you describe.
The Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) accounts for all asymptomatic and undiagnosed infections. The population of Gangelt is over 12000.
Based on your figures the case fatality rate rate would be 1.06%.
This study https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-05-team-covid-infection-fatality.html says:
“Approximately 15 percent of Gangelt had been infected. The total number of infections allows us to determine the infection fatality rate. In Gangelt, the IFR after the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak is 0.37 percent,” says lead investigator Prof. Dr. Hendrik Streeck, Director of the Institute for Virology at the University Hospital Bonn
…[]…
With an extrapolation based on 6,700 SARS-CoV-2 associated deaths in Germany, a total of 1.8 million infections can be assumed. This number of unreported cases is about 10 times higher than the officially reported cases (162,496 on May 3rd, 2020).
…[]…
Interestingly, 22 percent of infected persons in Gangelt were asymptomatic.”
Germany had an estimated 9 million influenza-attributable medically attended acute respiratory illnesses in 2017/18 with around 25000 deaths (Case Fatality Rate of 0.28%, see /moveable-feast-cafe-2020-05-24/#comment-810385). If we assume 22% of flu as asymptomatic / undiagnosed the IFR becomes 0.23%.
All of the cases linked to the Gangelter Carnival were placed in home isolation, the worst possible location for development of pneumonia (/moveable-feast-cafe-2020-05-24/#comment-809102). Saving 4 of those 8 lives would bring the Gangelt IFR to around 0.23% which, somehow, seems familiar.
There’s one thing you mention which is 100% correct – an app isn’t the scamdemic solution.
@median,
I appreciate it that you corrected me – I hit the wrong key with the amount of inhabitants. Still, I can remember vividly that reporters went through the streets and it was like a ghost town. People were afraid to leave their houses.
I can imagine the present frustration due to the measures as well.
In German we call that ‘Der Teufel austreiben mit Beelzebub’ (something like ‘exorcise the devil with beelzebub’).
Cheers, Rob

Paul (Павел),
Thanks for posting that.
Great article.
They just left out one thing.
People like myself, living in the West, see all this quite clearly. Many of them will not support the empire’s destruction of everything around it – along with the empire destroying itself.
It is just a small elite bent on self destruction, that supports this.

(Thoughts about Cioran’s “Heights of Despair)
Love,Oh, Love
by ioan
Love, oh, Love, how oft I think on you
You gave me joy, you gave me pain
You showed once more the only truth
The only one with noble fame
Between dispair and hope, there’s love
True, there’s you and me and many others
Who seek to keep the love above,
Planting the deeds of blooming flowers,
While there are those who have a joy
In playing dirty, with help of cruel powers
The more I search for things that matter,
The larger is the pit I fall in
With countless boxes, hidden doors,
With thousands traps and sharpened thorns
There’s no way out nor helpful ladder
Only my questioning got forced
Love, oh, Love, I think on you so oft
What value has my life if you’re not here
On earth, in heaven or between?
What would be the value for reasoning and care
When every caring heart is bent to disappear
Retreating as a tired, wounded queen?
What scattered pieces of a mosaic they share,
For me, for you, to play the role of good
Running in a circle, though hoping for a win
Then, being blamed again for falling in a sin,
You’re beaten like a dog, then crucified on wood
And nobody will hear because you are unseen
An earthly saint you’d be, surely you would die
Even if they promised you, thereafter,
Like an angel, you will fly,
Within a world, much different from this earth
Until one day, you’ll have to say goodbye
Being sent back to enter a new birth
And then, despair and hope, oh, human soul,
Maybe you’d better not been born
To feel, to think and act another way
Pressured by time and ruled over your head,
Playing a game you didn’t want to play,
And ending as a number among the many dead.
But Love, oh, Love, you are most precious treasure
A treasure for my soul above the earthly things,
Above the time and space, above my comprehension,
So close, so far away from many human beings
Though always patient, pure and everlasting,
Blessed is your presence, blessed are your teachings !
Very nice, ioan, thank you. In reply, I’m going to post a snippet of a birthday card to my son, from a year or two back, simply because it’s such a pure example of what you’re saying. It’s a precious glimpse into the world of 6 year-olds, and their experience of love.
happy birthday alex,
I love you since I saw you;
you are beautiful
Peace to you my friend.
Brother Blue Iconoclast
sorry to be depressing here in this cafe where I guess many come to escape the cold winds blowing around the world these days – but this is important, and, as James Corbett says “time is not on our side”
If you have not already caught up with this excellent production by JC, may I bring it with my highest recommendation.
It’s quite lone, but can listened to while doing a few jobs. But I think it’s essential to get the words out – and fast.
If any agree and feel like it, can I ask to spread further by whatever means you have.

I would like to add another “good reading link” for those who are interested in such things, a copy of a treatise to Government outlining why vaccination is abhorrent, is killing more people than the mass of citizens are aware, and should be stopped and certainly mandatory i.e. forced, vaccination prevented.
Thing is – it was written exactly 100 yrs ago, in1920, and detailed events from the years before that!!
They’ve had this information for 100 yrs – and it’s never been discussed; in fact, the vaccination programme has steamed ahead.

Pamela, on your second link .. two quotes:
“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.”
(Dr. Marcia Angell, NY Review of Books, January 15, 2009, “Drug Companies & Doctors: A Story of Corruption)
And here is another one, from the editor-in-chief of the prestigious journal, The Lancet:
“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness…”
“The apparent endemicity of bad research behaviour is alarming. In their quest for telling a compelling story, scientists too often sculpt data to fit their preferred theory of the world. Or they retrofit hypotheses to fit their data. Journal editors deserve their fair share of criticism too. We aid and abet the worst behaviours. Our acquiescence to the impact factor fuels an unhealthy competition to win a place in a select few journals. Our love of ‘significance’ pollutes the literature with many a statistical fairy-tale…Journals are not the only miscreants. Universities are in a perpetual struggle for money and talent…”
(Dr. Richard Horton, editor-in-chief, The Lancet, in The Lancet, 11 April, 2015, Vol 385, “Offline: What is medicine’s 5 sigma?”)
I saw a sentence last night that just seemed perfect for vaccinations: “If we have to kill twelve people to save one human life, it will have been worth it.” And Americans are willing to make it so.
Or, we had to kill the human race, in order to save it.
Days ago I stumbled across the article published this past January regarding the use of the coat of arms on ruble coins minted since 2016 and discussion on the Central Bank of Russia being a branch of the Federal Reserve (/why-did-russias-central-bank-change-their-eagle-emblem/).
I tried to look up which countries not named Iran or North Korea had central banks that are not private (i.e. completely state-owned). I came across a Wikipedia article about national banks, and managed to find examples of state-owned central banks. While Iran was definitely mentioned as one example, some other, rather surprising, examples included Bulgaria, Canada, Denmark and Serbia. China was not mentioned, although whether that’s a surprise or not depends on who you ask.
While the ‘discovery’ was exciting at first, I suddenly had a bout of skepticism (e.g. aren’t the Bulgarian lev and Danish crown pegged to the euro, itself controlled by private bankers?) and had to look up the Wikipedia articles for the central banks of various other currencies. The article for the Central Bank of Russia claims that it is ‘100% state-owned’, which paints a completely different picture from what was discussed in January. Either Wikipedia is lying as usual, or somehow ‘state-owned’ in this context is not what I think it means.
Regarding the central banks the keyword is nationalised. What it means though is that they are controlled by the government. But in reality nationalised means that the owners managed to get their private banking schemes into the governance of a country to create a stable control whereas before they may have been vulnerable to countermeasures. The central banking scheme create an immediate fortune for the bankers and rip off the people of a country that must be taxated to cover for the loan and the losses involved. This also creates inflation depreciation of already printed money or other instruments that also rip off the people. Some countries has changed the constitution so that the central bank is the countrys bank by law. It cannot change. The scheme is permanent. https://bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica2/sociopol_globalbanking609.htm
Biblioteca Pleyades have more sensible information than the globalist owned manipulated Wikipedia. the quality of Pleyades Biblioteca articles vary of course, but there is a lot of information more related to the real situation. https://bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/sociopol_globalbanking.htm
https://bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica2/esp_sociopol_rothschild59.htm
Josep, the piece that you are missing I think, is the commercial banks. Central banks, but commercial, i.e., supporting other banks.
Central banks can be state owned and do both functions, both policy and decisions about the monetary system, example fiscal regulation and holding foreign exchange reserves. The commercial banks supply money to other banks.
China has two central banks – the one is People’s Bank of China, which is state owned and is involved with policy and Bank of China, which is commercial and not state owned. These two functions has been broken apart and even in the US there is more than one central bank.

Though Stalin spared the life of Boris Pasternak – whose novel-in-progress, Doctor Zhivago, was suspected of being anti-Soviet – he persecuted Boris’s mistress, typist, and literary muse, Olga Ivinskaya.
Twice Olga was sentenced to work in Siberian labour camps, where she was interrogated about the book Boris was writing, but she refused to betray the man she loved. When Olga was released from the gulags, she assumed that Boris would leave his wife for her but, trapped by his family’s expectations and his own weak will, he never did.
Drawing on previously neglected family sources and original interviews, Anna Pasternak explores this hidden act of moral compromise by her great-uncle, and restores to history the passionate affair that inspired and animated Doctor Zhivago.
Filled with the rich detail of Boris’s secret life, Lara unearths a moving love story of courage, loyalty, suffering, drama, and loss, and casts a new light on the legacy of Doctor Zhivago.
good review of their story, but not sure about this :
“she assumed that Boris would leave his wife for her but, trapped by his family’s expectations and his own weak will, he never did.”
could be, but was also deeply influenced by his inability, to make his wife suffer by leaving her.
human dilemma, tragedy.
regarding the above, that is the clear impression remaining with me since reading Lara: The Untold Love Story a very long time ago, but perhaps it has another meaning for you, Babushka in Oz . . . ?
Thank you for that link, Babuska!
Indeed, life obtains value through suffering!
Very important distinction which Pasternak made:
the country was Russia, not the Soviet Union, which was a horrendous regime imposed upon Mother Russia and the Russian Narod by Jewish/Zionist Bolshevik bankers. To say that that Russia and the Russian Narod suffered under this Soviet/Bolshevik horror would be an understatement.

Utah University Atmospheric Sciences Professor, Tim Garrett, claims civilization is a “heat engine” warming planet Earth. A growing economy requires more fuel, which warms the planet even faster.
Professor Garrett says, “Only collapse of civilization prevents abrupt runaway climate change.” He also says, “The collapse must be sufficiently rapid to maintain” anything like the present living arrangements.
The Deep State know all this, of course, so don’t be surprised when they up the present “perpetual state of emergency” into overdrive.
Numbers – Oh those pesky numbers that are wrongly counted everywhere. Seemingly Sweden counted only those that actually made it to a hospital. And clearly, Sweden had their old people just die by decree. What would it have been today if we all stood together and said: “Don’t let our old people die needlessly”?
https://www.rt.com/op-ed/490012-swedish-directives-covid-elderly-cruel/
“Letting the elderly die
Horror stories have played out across the country. At Karolinska University hospital in Stockholm, one doctor told the Dagens Nyheter daily that triage has been made so difficult that “we are being forced to let patients die in front of our eyes.”
Another Swedish newspaper, Aftonbladet, saw official documents instructing that patients aged 60 and above with multiple conditions, and all those aged above 80, should be denied intensive care, even though Sweden apparently has plenty of ICU beds.
And there is plenty of anecdotal evidence of an unacceptable number of deaths occurring without medical attendance. What is the strategy behind this?”
This is by By Jon Tallinger, Swedish medical doctor and human rights activist.
“The directives are, essentially, asking me to get rid of anyone who is sick. Is it ethical to instruct doctors to first prescribe morphine, rather than oxygen? Is it ethical to deny elderly patients oxygen in most situations? How would you feel on finding out that your parent in a care home will not be given critical care, or curative care, or oxygen therapy, because they are deemed irrelevant? Why is this the case? As Sweden has five factories producing oxygen, supplying oxygen outside of a hospital setting should not be an issue.”
Who is it that said how a society treats its most vulnerable is the measure of its humanity.

In order to reduce the dependence of the Russian economy on sanctions imposed by the United States
and its allies, and to ensure its sustainability in a hybrid war, immediate measures must be taken to
de-dollarise the economy. Let’s consider what it includes and what economic outcome this will achieve.

The mass movement of citizens interested in longevity and health can help transform the state social and

support look at themselves that way. They do not believe in themselves, their strengths and capabilities.
I have been missing Jimmie Moglia’s writing on The Saker, so I looked up his website to find another gem: “Anatomy of Absurdity”. Not sure why it was overlooked;
https://www.yourdailyshakespeare.com/2020/05/08/anatomy-of-absurdity-brief-analysis-of-the-absurdities-in-the-coronavirus-phenomenon/
Jimmie Moglia is truly a ‘doubters companion’
What an excellent find siljan – thank you so much. I foresee many pleasurable hours filled reading such reasoned, rational, calm and clever writing.
And how good is this expose of all that is irrational and strangely hysterical in the “Whatever it makes sense to do – do the opposite” reaction of the ruling junta’s of UK, US and most of Europe to a generally mild infection, dangerous only to a very few who must, of course, be the only ones singled out for special care and attention.
As you say, shame it seems to have been overlooked.
More and more the world is relying on those few with the courage of their convictions to turn whistleblower”, – usually putting their own careers, livelihoods and even sometimes lives on the line – to bring us the truths of Government mis-management, stupidity, cupidity, and criminal activity all being carefully covered up with lies and the loss of all news outlets to GovProps.
This is going to blow the lid off many more I suspect – and hope. Germany seems to be leading the rest of Europe in it’s fight against the Empire Hegemon.

Well said Pamela. I think more and more people are waking up everywhere, even here in redneck Alberta.
People are starting to question and doubting. They want answers. I find it easier to talk to people now than only a few years ago.

Great release from Germany at Strategic Culture, mind blowing to read what amounts to a bullet point, clearly stated delivery of every single issue raised on here with endless links and video’s shared in support since the Corolla virus pan-scandal began.

@Josep Those listed countries might have a nominally state owned CB BUT the countries are otherwise under total control by outside forces, regarding Bulgaria, Denmark and Serbia it’s self evident with Canada a little less, but the history shows that they are under total outside control as well (one very revealing ocurrence was when Canada’s jet-industry had to be destroyed through ministerial order using hacksaws and hammers literally in the late 50s within 24 hours, when they developed a very andvanced Jet-Fighter).
Canada as a soverign nation did not exist in the 50’s anymore than it does today, after ’67 the Libs took the Royal out of the Canadian military and in the 2000s the Conservitives put the Royal back in. Know who owns you please. What Canadian jet program? The Avro? It belonged to Britian, not a non existant country called Canada. After the war the US was collecting on debts owed. Part of the US deal to save broke Brittian from the big bad Germans was; well, how do you pay off your wars debts? Espicially when you are broke. Hmmmm………..bend over perhaps? You give up all your proprietory property rights to all future inventions. And that’s how US industry leads the world in developement………………it’s doesn’t. It steals and picks and chooses the brightest from those indebted nations.
While poking around the Strategic Culture website, I found this very interesting little chapter in diplomatic history — certainly not to be found in any “American history” to which I was exposed in school.

Old folk song, sung by Andreas Scholl

I will give my love an apple without e’er a core,
I will give my love a house without e’er a door,
I will give my love a palace wherein she may be,
And she may unlock it without any key.
My head is the apple without e’er a core,
My mind is the house without e’er a door.
My heart is the palace wherein she may be,
And she may unlock it without any key
Thank You dear Raisa for thinking to connect me to this exquisite treasure
I meant to post this earlier this month, but didn’t partly because I was not sure at the time if it would be painful for some people who read here.
But it’s about May, and remembering a brave patriot and the poem he wrote, and May is nearly gone for a year, so I hope it doesn’t offend anyone if I post it now.
It’s called ” To Die in May is not so Bad” by a A. B. Nizgovoi
“To die in May is not so bad
the earth is soft to dig a grave
And nightingales are all around
to sing me on my final way.
May thunderstorms will roar for me
instead of droning farewell prayers
And rains that wash the grief away
will more than substitute for tears.
Grass will engulf my earthen mound
much better than gravestone moss
And birch trees will lean over me,
although there may not be a cross.
Their branches reach out to the May Sun
The meadow is with flowers gilded
And in a world that bursts to life
I’ll be the only thing that wilted.
To die in May is not so bad
to stay forever in the spring
There are some I things I left undone
and yet, i dont regret a thing.
To die in May is not so bad.
Written by Alexei Borisovich Mozgovoi 2 yrs before his death, when he was ambushed and killed May 2013, leader of the People fighting for freedom in the Ukraine Civil War.
It always brings back to me the heroism of people who die for their belief in the right to freedom and peace for others, who often are thought of as the “small people”; who are pretty much unsung, unknown, unrecorded by History, yet are as great as any acknowledged hero.
Trump blustered and bellowed over China, the pandemic, Hong Kong, poor little ole America being ripped off by the sneaky Chinese stealing our factories and “offshoring” our jobs (not corporations doing this from their cushy board rooms, but the sneaky Chinese doing it).
Amazingly, he laid out the disappointment that China had not modeled itself after Hong Kong!
Imagine. That’s like saying the US should model itself after how eskimos live in Alaska.
Hong Kong, who under the British rule for over a century never had one single freedom. None. No elections. No free speech. Nothing. Nada. They were a subservient colony. Second class people.
So, if the Chinese modeled themselves after Hong Kong, they would have less freedom than they have under Communism. The real freedom valued by the West in Hong Kong is its banking, trade and wealth management rules which are the freest in the world (granted by those devilish Chinese Communists).
The hysteria of Trump, Navarro, Pompeo, et al in the administration need to blame China for everything gone wrong, for their inability to compete, for their inadequacy as leaders.
The Chinese will intensify the competition and further move out ahead of the US in the critical technologies and sciences.
Sadly, the global scene will be bifurcated. Already, the UK under Boris Johnson, has called for a D-10, sort of a Digital G-10, the regular G-7 group, plus Australia, South Korea and India to combine resources to compete with Huawei in 5G.
What does that tell you of China’s lead in 5G? It will take 10 nations, which includes the US, to compete with one corporation (a private company, employee owned) that has leaped out in front of every other corporation in 5G.
And stupidly, the US is now going to block Chinese grad students from studying and researching in the US.
China was sending their best and Trump is shutting them out.
Tells you how stupid American leadership has become.
Notably, Trump did not do much to further decoupling from China. You know why? Wall Street wants in on the biggest economy growth to come and that is China’s domestic market. He isn’t allowed to stop that. They will “Dallas” him if he messes around with the tens of Trillions to be made inside China.
Or maybe he’s just got more urgent domestic priorities, currently……..what with Minneapolis Burning and Soros bussing rioters in from Chicago and other areas to get Race Wars going, since the Corona Thingee kind of fizzled, unable guarantee Lock Down til November and an Upset for Biden.
Public utterances by the mayor and newsmen on the scene, in front of burning buildings, calmly characterizing the riots as “protests that are fairly orderly” remind one of this movie scene from Naked Gun:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmtH2tZjsvw
“Please disperse folks! Nothing to see here!”
Will the National Guard go in this weekend??

Sorry about that!
Larchmonter, my friend and comrade,
I’m sitting here and watching from afar and I’m not believing what I am seeing, it’s like our country has gone mad almost overnight. Is there something in the water over there that drives Foggy Bottom et al insane? I’ve said for years that the Empire will slowly descend in to irrelevance over an extended time, but I’m watching our country fall in to absolute chaos and anarchy overnight. Riots, killings, burning, shooting, the empire lashing out at everything and everybody, the dollar tanking against the ruble and euro, Germany getting nervous, China looking aghast and Putin appalled, National Guard mobilizing and rumor has it regular Army units are quietly standing to. B-1 bombers flying over the Baltic and Black Sea, closely watched by Russian planes, almost waiting for the bomb bay doors to open. What the hell happened? What the hell is going on over there?
Auslander
Auslander, good friend,
The US government has it all under control. They have a Reaper Drone up over Minneapolis, presumably to enforce the Bill of Rights for all concerned. Hellfire missiles?
Meanwhile, Soros’s best, Antifa, is there in full regalia, setting fires to appropriate buildings.
What’s wrong with this?
Oh, the police abandoned their post and lit out for the hills. Sworn to Serve and Protect, they chose to protect their own asses, leaving a few buddies on the rooftops to be helo’d out, ala, Saigon ’75. America does helo egress well.
As for the US B-1 bombers practicing their final moments should those bomb bay doors open over the Black Sea environs, I chalk it up to enlarged prostates among EuroCom. They think with their crippled dicks and believe they can sneak over the borders, past the red lines, and blast Russian cities and facilities.
What we see domestically and in foreign affairs, particularly military foreign affairs, as well as the Cold War 2.0 affair now aimed at China, is the throes of the Hegemon, the fractalization of the social weave, the spasms of a very sick system.
MAGA, America First, USA, USA are over. The signs point toward civil unrest on grand scale.
What could a Reaper over a major city mean but the government cannot control the streets, runs away in the middle of the fight for Rule of Law, and is incapable of protecting its citizens from chaos.
Like a regime in the third world at the moment of collapse, the institutions (Bill of Rights, especially) are turned to ashes, and it is everyone for himself. Rioters take what they want, vandals burn what they want, and cops kill who they want.
Trump can lose it all swiftly in these conditions.
He needs an infrastructure program. Instead, he tweets.
40 million without jobs. He tweets.
He’s President. But he prefers tweeting.
His litmus is the Stock Market. Green arrows and he thinks he’s doing the right thing.
Right now, with the virus still alive and probably set to return in the fall and winter, with so many families in deep economic trouble, with so many bankruptcies wiping out small businesses, we get Tweets.
A great sadness is descending on the people. They are enraged, powerless and desperate for inspiration.
They can’t turn elsewhere. The Dems have nothing to offer.
They need a leader. But he’s obsessed with Tweeting instead of leading.
It’s depressing even to write about it.
“He’s President. But he prefers tweeting.”
The phrase “Nero fiddling while Rome burns” comes to mind. Almost literally.
It’s to be expected. It’s not something a single one of us is familiar with – nothing like it has happened in our lifetimes, nor those of our going back great-great-great grandparents. Yet here it is. End of Empire, collapse of an Empire, a civilisation, a way of living.
Fin de siecle mes amis.
Where we go from here no-one knows. Here in Ecuador it’s reported that the extremely unpopular President who turned Empire puppet as soon as he was elected, has gone into hiding – not for the first time – and has handed all his Presidential powers over to a barely heard of deputy.
Fury is building at the “stringency measures” being put in place following receipt of an IMF loan. For details to follow, just read John Perkins “I was an Economic Hit Man” Just a case of “rinse and repeat” all the time.
The major airline of Andean Continent, LATAM has gone into receivership. The Ecuadorian airline is gone, as is a very good offshoot airline, Avienca. If I wanted to get out, have no idea how, now.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring for any of us. Many saw it coming, years ago. But whilst we could say “the collapse is now inevitable” no-one could say “It will be at 3.30pm on Monday the 24th May” or whatever.
Will America recover? It might have a small hiccup, what is called, rather unpleasantly a “dead cat” bounce.
But it’s over guys. Everything we knew, is going or gone.
As the lady -almost – said “Fasten your seat belts. It’s going to be a bumpy ride” .
Larchmonter, that was a bunch of vile insults wrapped in another bunch of inability to deal with the world as it is today. But more seriously, it is a cut-off of relations or de-couple … in the normal style .. He is taking his toys and cannot really declare victory so will not really go home, but do a whole of things to make it difficult for the rest of the world. This was truly not believable from Trump. It rang hollow, he is out of anything but threats and insults. And everything was insulted and most everything threatened .. stock markets, chinese students, Hong Kong changes in legislation and an impotent demand that China should give information about the virus and be transparent. This was the most impotent that I’ve seen Trump. And if he thinks that big international business will return to the US under the current circumstances, he is blowing smoke. Protecting the financial institution of the US?
But, the US is leaving the WHO. Now dare I remind you that they are by the name of Pompeo trying to get back into the JPCOA after leaving that.
We are of course now entering the dangerous phase in the cold war. Decoupling has never worked for us – some kind of war follows. Remember his words on the entry to the trade war … A Trade War is Easy to Win. Yeah right. Sometimes you reap what you sow. Goodbye US .. the greatness will be in your own minds only for quite a number of years. Become a ‘normal’ country and the world will have you back. Currently, please leave.
The EU, for what its worth, is not joining the US party here.
“The European Union has ruled out further action over China’s plans to impose a national security law on Hong Kong, saying it wanted to focus on dialogue with Beijing.”
https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3086763/eu-expresses-grave-concern-over-hong-kong-security-law-rule
So, the many partners here for the US would be UK, Australia and Canada

Dont know if you’ve caught up with this amarynth – I recall you commenting on the fact that Dmitry Orlov has resiled from his previous position on so-called “AGW’.
Here he explains his reasons – the data that emerged that convinced him
I think it takes a very honest person with a strong sense of self to say “I was wrong, I’ve changed”. Over my life, I’ve come across that so very rarely, so I honour him for that.
But – here he will tell you why. It’s pretty interesting – well, I thought so :-)

Somebody asked, “What the hell is going on over there?”
And I noticed a great deal of angst and competition to outdo each other in pessimism and abandonment of all hope. But that is a subjective state of mind…and not the full story by any means.
. Not only am I a “glass half full” kind of guy (which makes it impossible for me to agree that the glass is empty ...because it isn’t ) but the only response to such indulgence in pessimism is ……counter-indulgence in annoying platitudes such as…..”The Darkest Hour Is Just before Dawn.”…..”This too shall pass!”…etc.etc.
And what’s so damned tough about enduring another lousy hour or so, anyways???
But the more direct answer is:
A lot of very corrupt and arrogant people including the most recent ex-president of the United States (Obummer) committed treason in many acts but especially in the last weeks of the last national election and its aftermath. The corporate news media hired many of these bad actors and are themselves at risk of being substantially implicated, prosecuted, convicted, and bankrupted. And justly so.
SO:
You will see a series of more and more desperate acts following on their failure to leverage the Steele Dossier into impeachment, set war traps in Korea and other places, leverage a “perfect call” from the White House to Zelensky as being worse than Biden’s and Kerry’s call with Poroshenko about removing Shokin in another desperate feeble impeachment delaying tactic and finally ……….failure to keep the US locked down and not opening up again, so that a nation ruined by fear and ridiculous ( “face panties” should be the enduring image of the Spring of 2020) levels of initial obedience to absolute nonsense and lies.
But it did not work near well enough.
So race riots are the solution de jour to maintain the hope for escaping the impending prosecution for those very serious (some capital….in degree) crimes.
“Regain the narrative at ALL COSTS!”…… or they are royally screwed.
What could be more obvious??
Do you panic when your (domestic) enemies are panicking……OR do you get more confident,,,,as well as more vigilant, because their desperation makes them take crazier risks???
The remaining options for the seditious ones are getting more and more constrained…….and less and less likely to succeed in doing much more than worsen the punishment that they so richly deserve.
This was a long. long time in coming. So I can’t say certain aspects of it are not very welcome indeed.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Saker
I have noticed something that I have never seen before during the Minneapolis riots. Members of CNN being arrested and fired at with rubber bullets. That’s right, the enemy of the state are being arrested and shot at.
I saw video postings myself on the Twitter handle #Minneapolisriots. Are these orders coming directly from Trump?
I understand that having a “weak kneed” response to the US’s criminal actions against their own nations is the normal policy for world states.But a person might expect that some great powers might grow a pair someday and turn the tables on the US.In response to the US’s actions against Hong Kong,China and Russia should publicly “warn” the US not to use violence against the rioters,urrr,I mean “protesters” in their cities.And announce sanctions against the US over their actions to interfere with Nord-2.If these countries aren’t even willing to defend themselves why would we here try to defend them.That is pretty counter productive for us.
Not one word of understanding the anger breaking out in the US. Of course they are trying to say these are race riots, but they are anger riots. Of course every Antifa and Black Bloc types will be out in the street creating mayhem while there is a true outpouring of anger. This does not look like a few bad apples: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/violent-demonstrators-attack-cnn-headquarters-atlanta-during-second-night-nationwide
And Trump, he felt very safe when they stormed the white house. If these people broke through he says, they would have been met with vicious dogs and ominous weapons.
So, instead of understanding the underlying anger in the US, its vicious dogs and ominous weapons for the people. Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire! Animal Farm.

I’m waiting for the response ” I dare because I know that the price of me not speaking my truth, of being silenced, is far higher than any emotional blackmail you can throw at me”.
Of course, we do have a “right back at ya”!!

America not only stealing the oil and foods starving Syrians need desperately for themselves, they are deliberately burning an essential harvest of food for Syrian civilians.
HOW DARE YOU, America????
I just read an article on Sputnik. The United States has 15 bio-labs on Russian border countries. Does anyone have more facts on this? What would be the purpose of all this except for military use?
Well, just as they do their torturing at black sites across the rest of the world and like Guantanamo Bay, in order not to be caught in their own locale, so is it with the bio-labs. Whatever must be hidden, is taken off-shore.
I’ve spent a good part of the day watching this ongoing mess in SehSha. I’ve watched hours of live and archive footage of this nationwide melt down plus earlier similar events. Here’s my take on this, and let me make this very clear from the beginning. I’ve watched the tapes of the murder of the petty criminal from half a dozen different angles. There is no doubt in my mind that the police officer with his knee on the neck of a handcuffed and not resisting citizen committed deliberate murder. His fellow officers on the scene are guilty minimum of aiding and abetting, pure and simple. Not a one told the killer to take his knee off that man’s neck….not a one, ergo they are just as guilty as he is. Whether or not the man died from the pressure of the knee on his neck or from a medical condition, the fact that the man clearly and frequently stated that he could not breathe showed he was in distress, and not a one of these police did a thing until almost three minutes after the man was silent and motionless, read clinically dead.
With the Flynn tapes coming out and other evidences being slowly but surely dragged in to the light of day, some very high political heads are going to roll and these rolling heads will go back in to the previous administration and political organization just as sure as God made little green apples. What better opportunity to deflect the inevitable than ‘spontaneous’ demonstrations that evolve in to riots that evolve in to looting and burning than the event of an unknown prisoner’s death? Or was it spontaneous? I don’t believe in coincidence and never have, this is just too convenient.
The tactics of the rioters and looters are similar to what I’ve seen before, I instantly recognized the organization of the cadre leading the individual ‘death by a thousand cuts’ campaign, just like in the ‘shut down Wall Street’ attempt of a few years ago and chapter and verse of the four months I witnessed live streamed and in living colour in Maidan from late 2013 through mid February 2014. One can readily pick out the captains directing the lieutenants directing the sergeants directing the troops, the only difference between now and Maidan is the lack of coloured hardhat ‘helmets’. Instead, they use different clothing (black being preferred) and mask styles. Watch them, you will see what I mean. They start the individual actions and the gullible crowds willingly join in the orgy of looting and burning. They’ve even gone so far as to ‘attack’ CNN news types. What for, the sacrifice of a few drones for the good of the masses? And the minute the useful fools dive in and start looting and burning, the cadre magically disappear, only to appear again at another location. Same folks? How do you know if they all wear masks? Simple. Tattoos, masks and hats are the same, as is the clothing and distinguishing articles thereof, even body motions as they give each other shouted and hand signals. These folks are very well trained, which defacto means well paid, and they are dangerous, much more dangerous than many of you think.
So, bottom line the virus is suddenly forgotten and gone and you watch, all this mess will be dumped on President Trump’s desk in yet another attempt to keep him out of office in the rerun. Do I like him? Not particularly, and my screamed advice to him is get the hell off ‘twitter’ or whatever it’s called and govern the damned country and stop these endless wars like you said you would!!
That being said, never forget, our other choice was Hillary Diane Rodham. Never forget that, and never forget that often as not in our ‘free election process’ we are faced with not the choice of one candidate who is better than the other, but one candidate who is the lesser of two evils. As for the coming election, the choice will be President Trump or Joseph Biden, the Biden who is to all intents and purposes dead, he just hasn’t fallen over yet. His VP candidate will be Hillary Diane Rodham and she will give him the push and set herself at the desk in the oval office.
And oh, yeah. Surprise of all surprises, the word is already going around that Russia and China are using and assisting in these riots to further their agenda, which is to get President Trump another term, which is a given as long as Biden is running against him. Bottom line, more sanctions on Russia, China and I’m sure for good measure Iran and Venezuela.

Dear Auslander,
Those are very sharp observations and analyses, the same observations as I did but so much better put into words. I fear that you are right in every detail. I might wish for a deteriorating health for Hilarious Clinton (stepping into a van is such a damned thing), but that is against my moral and belief.
May God help us all…
Cheers, Rob
And the lawlessness and chaos that the US has so irresponsibly and cruelly inflicted on much of the globe since WW2 now comes home to roost with a vengeance.
It arrived on the streets of many of the shining exceptional cities that perch, albeit somewhat precariously, on their respective hills. Yes indeed Uncle Sam is a salient example of exceptionalism…but exceptionalism from the perspective of widespread moral decay which shapes its foreign and domestic actions.
What we witness on the streets from Baltimore to Atlanta, and to LA is mayhem and lawlessness. The very same model that Trump and his predecessors have imposed on the world. It is nothing more and nothing less than the US’s actions on theglobal stage…it is equally as inexcusable as it was inevitable.
The evolving blueprint was expanded by the Bushes, Clinton, and of course Obomber aided by his cackling SOS. Trump rudely grabbed the blueprint and with Pompeo, arguably the most obscene and dangerous political psychopath since Hitler, put the finishing touches on it.
During his four-year tenure, Trump and his thugs took serial and disgracefully bad behavior to new levels of complete chaotic bungling. Now they don’t even bother to try to disguise their actions anymore. On the contrary, they often brag about their murderous deeds, whilst time and again they demonstrate a complete lack of moral compass or even the most basic grasp of the difference between right and wrong.
Half of the world laughs at Trump’s idiotic behavior… most of the remainder see absolutely zero humor in this unfolding tragedy. They fully comprehend just how utterly dangerous these lying incompetent imbeciles are and reflect on the fact that humanity’s survival hangs by nothing more than a precarious thread.
What a profoundly tragic situation humanity now contemplates. Of course, in some ways, almost as sad and astonishing is the fact that some of us continue to endorse this buffoon and his murderous cohorts and to this day actually claim there is some sort of method in his blatantly infantile behavior.
And to quote my hero Van The Man…there is definitely and categorically… “No Guru, no method, no teacher”… in this chaotic and tragic theatre….with the possible exception of course of the Roman Empire.

“What a profoundly tragic situation humanity now contemplates.”
It could get worse, at least for “whitey,” as speculation is out there that possible vp candidates are harris, stacy adams, or even michelle obama. Biden if elected would prob vacate fairly quickly as he is one step away from being committed to the funny farm if he is not already there.

Precisely! As dreadful as Trump is it could actually get worse…and the message…where ever you live on the globe be very careful what you wish for when it comes to US election results.
Indeed the forthcoming election is a bit like being on death row and the leader of the firing squad pays you a visit to enquire as to what caliber you prefer them to use when they execute you tomorrow.

Just thought I’d share one of my favourite movie clips – I’m not a Hollywood movie fan, not by any stretch, but sometimes the odd thing caught.
A sort of modern “David and Goliath” – I see Tub o’ Lard Pompeo and his ilk taking on Russia and Putin somehow.
Anyway it lightened a cold, dull, grey afternoon :-)

Very, very interesting… If I had better intelligence I could see this more clearly. Ok. two nights ago in Louisville someone with a gun started shooting people in the crowds gathered? Hmmm. Now when someone shows up with a gun trying to blend in with the protest they are getting “taken out” mysteriously and quickly by other un-uniformed people. It looks very counter intelligence op to me. Trump is no idiot about what is going on with Soros, Black Lives Matter and Antifa ( which has been infiltrated from the beginning with Federal agents).
These agents are not the Joe blow, open carry people ( white or black) standing guard defensively in front of small shops, houses and other buildings in their neighborhood .
Hilarious.. a double talking politically correct “activist” was laboriously talking about Melanin-dominent people and melanin recessive people…. Looks like just as you must say” I am born biologically female and I identify socially as female/heterosexual” , it looks as if you must do mea culpa b.s. in the form of saying not that you are an anglo American but rather you are melanin deprived or some thing?
Like I say…it has gone bat-sh-t crazy here. Do you hear anyone calling for community control over police review boards? or that police live in the communities they patrol? These were just basic slogans from the 1960’s.
What is going on with the dearth of political thought? And with the lumpen intelligentsia saying such nonsense as ‘the oppressed have a right to commit crimes due to their victim status”. i.e. trash their own communities like this is some bold revolutionary act . And the lumpen thugs claiming that they are “making history” ( oh, this is just going to be a sour footnote in the events- tsunami of the next few years) and that they are heading to the suburbs next?
Yeah, just head to the suburbs…you just try that.. uh huh…And in LA, you just try to burn down anything in the Latino districts…uh huh. One will see the myth of the solidarity of “people of color” based on victim status (and not the solidarity of mutual concerns) break down immediately.;
As Caleb Maupin ( RT) pointed out—why did this MSM orchestrated days of rage not happen when (Black cops) broke the neck in cruel fashion of a kid in Baltimore ( Black also) in 2016 and there were riots? AHHH, this was under Obama, the great liberator’s watch!!!!
What is going on with the dearth of political thought?
The prohibition of thought and establishment of control.
‘intelligentsia saying such nonsense as ‘the oppressed have a right to commit crimes due to their victim status”
A very weak argument. Anyone still thinking has the right to grasp the nature of the forces of evil working behind the scenes. Revolutionary acts are verboten in USA.

… this was aired by PBS in USA four years ago …
“Could you come up with $2,000 in 30 days if you had to? As many as 40 percent of American families can’t, despite the improving economy. Among them is Neal Gabler, who is frequently broke despite his successful career as a writer. As part of a collaboration between The Atlantic and the PBS NewsHour, Judy Woodruff looks at why Gabler and so many other Americans are struggling with savings.”
Why so many Americans in the middle class have no savings …

The municipality of Chongqing, which is around the size of Austria, includes the city of Chongqing and various non-connected cities. As the Chongqing municipality government directly administers the city of Chongqing, as well as rural counties, and other cities not connected to the city of Chongqing, Chongqing municipality can technically claim to be the largest city proper in the world, even though this is due to a classification technicality and not because it is actually the world’s largest urban area.

Lots of interesting articles to agree or disagree upon or being somewhere in the middle !
Whatever, it’s a journey – needed in a world made of corporate media sheeple !!!
Surprise of all surprises, some MSM is beginning to pick up on the ‘antifa’ gig, the blatant fact that it’s antifa behind the riots, looting, burning and killing. Methinks this is going to get ugly.

It’s all because of the flu
All the things we don’t do
Like being open to listen to
A few waving above the crowd
So why not sing it now out loud
Round and round and round you go
Same old same old dancing a tango
Following the obvious diversion signs
So surprisingly easily distracted minds
Power’s superficiality rules so jolly well
The flu games a racket right out of hell
