Well, I have my own work commitments, plus family, I enjoy to meet and talk with a wide range of people, keep up with the latest news and vies from many sources, and regret to have to say, I am unable to continue writing poems or comments on this site due to conflicts of interest and censorship. All the best comrades !
Raisa,
i’ve found both your own and Pamela’s scamdemic comments entirely refreshing. If only you would realise that “Russia’s” covid-19 response and arm sales to Saudi put it right in the middle of the same stinking pot as the rest we’d be even closer.
It could be worthwhile to endure the conflict/censorship issue. If nothing else, as Pamela recently said, even if few are listening, to voice your own opinion is therapeutic (when those comments ever reach the light of day).
In any case, good luck – it’s nearly all that most now have to rely on.
I’ve very much enjoyed your comments and poems Raisa, so I’m certain many others of the ~3000 who visit this thread have too. Remember, a lot more visit and read than comment, and your words have touched many.
I know the frustration of censorship – and indeed the disappointment, but I do hope we see your words here again.
if not – have a lovely life and good luck.
Twitter just de-platformed several accounts I used to read. “Account does not exist”. That’s censorship.
Getting parts of a comment modified/ deleted because it is off-topic or impolite is not censorship, get a grip!
From what I saw of ALL Raisa’s comments – that is those not deleted because no-one saw them – I find it hard to believe that she was ever impolite.
Your assumption speaks more to who you are than to it does to Raisa – and your snapping an order at her seems particularly offensive to me.
To put anything down on paper out in public where it can be commented on (hey, for a laugh, read anything Saker has posted here, go over the comments, pretty tame, due to mod and site policy, then go to Unz for the same article and read the comments there, imgine being an editor on a bad news day) requires a thick skin and a brass neck…………
Cheers, M
Pamela, No need to get on your high horse, I was merely repeating the moderators comment guidelines.
As for Raisa’s claim about being censored, I find it very unfair (to the moderators and to the Saker site) and exagerrated since she is obviously still here to make those claims.
who’ll take up the slack?
living up to your name;
raskolnikov!
I think this passage from a last poem fits for Raisa :
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?
Thank you for kind words and thoughts There are great writers on here, I am truly grateful to you all,
God bless and protect you.

Former minister at church used for Trump’s photo-op: ‘It was a sacrilege for all people of all faiths’
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/55171.htm
“Rev. Gini Gerbasi, the rector at St. John’s Episcopal Church of Georgetown, said she was at the scene when police fired smoke canisters and pepper balls to disperse the crowds so that President Donald Trump could walk over to the church and take photos.
“I am shaken, not so much by the taste of tear gas and the bit of a cough I still have, but by the fact that that show of force was for a PHOTO OPPORTUNITY,” Gerbasi said on Facebook. “The patio of St. John’s, Lafayette square had been HOLY GROUND today. A place of respite and laughter and water and granola bars and fruit snacks. But that man turned it into a BATTLE GROUND first, and a cheap political stunt second.”
She (Gerbasi) and the other staff never said a word about the church being set ablaze.
The hypocrisy is palpable.
She tasted smoke, not tear gas. Why? The crowd defied orders from the Secret Service to move three times.
The Rule of Law in the US is simple. Obey the orders of cops when you are out on the street, in public.
I’ve been in plenty of marches of protest (the eighties especially). It’s simple to go by the rules.
Even “Labor Strike” and “Union Actions” have rules to obey.
Once you disobey the orders of cops, you can expect rough handling.
As for the PHOTO OP by Trump—that is what he determined was needed. Did they want him to break into the boarded up church to pray?
He took the sacred ground back, symbolically, showed that the government would protect churches.
Did he do anything wrong?
The touch he missed is he should have read a short verse from the Bible that would have been appropriate to the action. But it seems, he did the entire thing on the fly, surprising all with him.
Next day, he and Melania, who is Catholic, went to a Catholic Church and the Archbishop criticized him for that.
These “clergy” are all wackjobs of the left. Their religious positions are part of the amalgam of the Cult of Liberalism.
What matters is Trump is protecting the Bill of Rights, the Rule of Law.
The streets are running full of anarchists. This isn’t political or social protest. This is terroristic anarchy.
Trump and his AG Barr understand this threat.
More cops shot and stabbed last night.
My position is clear. Shoot the anarchists, clear the streets. Rioting, looting, carnage against civilians and cops requires whatever is necessary to stop it immediately. Thousands of innocent civilians have been ruined by the looting, fires and physical attacks by the mobs.
And the bozo clergy who condone it all as if Social Justice was appropriate are harlots, selling out to the sociopaths.

George Floyd death: US police view Americans just like military view people in Afghanistan… as enemies in WAR ZONE
https://www.rt.com/op-ed/489948-george-floyd-police-enemies/
“Any investigation of Mr. Floyd’s murder, however, cannot cure the illness of militarization that has seeped into the very culture of American policing today. Police officers often view the neighborhoods they patrol as a war zone, and the citizens residing within as the enemy.
This “us versus them” mentality creates the exact same friction as it did during the occupation of Afghanistan, leading to the same escalation of violence by the militarized police delivered to a population that has been for the most part dehumanized.
The American model of policing is a sickness of pandemic proportions, infecting every corner of American society. Supporters of American police often decry the acts of the so-called “few bad apples” without reflecting on the reality that the entire system is dysfunctional in terms of serving and protecting civil society. While there are no doubt many “good” police officers, they reside within a system that promotes self-protection, the turning of a blind eye to infractions carried out by their fellow officers, and the acceptance of the kinds of racist and misogynist beliefs that the society they claim to protect rejects.
And had the crime not been captured on film by a civilian bystander, the likelihood of the Minneapolis Police Department sweeping this matter under the rug, assigning full blame to Mr. Floyd while exonerating the officers involved, is high.
The Minneapolis Police Department is not unique in this regard. Indeed, it is the veritable model of how policing is conducted across America every day. Until which time every police department in the US recognizes the illness that has infected it, there can be no cure. And the sad truth is that, just as the US government will never allow the ICC to investigate the crimes of American military members in Afghanistan, the American police establishment will never allow a full and complete investigation into the foundational practices and beliefs that guide American policing today.”
What ‘american’ model of policing………….it is an Apartheid model of policing, it happens all over the world, security trained by mass murderers………that’s the model. Just like knees on heads and necks, no self respecting cop would ever do such a thing. Now put a thug in unifrom, trained by Shin Bet and you get state sanctioned murderers in uniform.

Police And Their Apologists Have Already Lost The Argument
https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2020/06/05/police-and-their-apologists-have-already-lost-the-argument/
“Wherever these videos emerge online you will inevitably see a deluge of cop apologia (which I decided just now I’ll be calling copologia) saying the footage is fake or the victim deserved it and the cop’s just trying to get home to his family blah blah blah. There is not enough gold in the earth’s crust to make the number of olympic medals these people deserve for all the mental gymnastics they are performing to excuse unprovoked, completely unnecessary acts of violence from public employees whose job isn’t even statistically all that dangerous.
Most of these copologists do not even know why they are falling all over themselves to try and justify police brutality. It’s a conditioned response, like turning your head when someone calls your name. They don’t think about it, it’s just something they’ve been conditioned to do by decades of media and cultural indoctrination into an empire whose survival depends on the existence of a violent and militarized police force. They hear Pavlov’s bell and start salivating, just as they’ve been programmed to.
The thing is, their creative energy is being spent entirely in vain. Police and their apologists have already lost the argument.
A police force which cannot respond to protests about police brutality without the internet being flooded with a steady stream of police brutality footage is a police force in sore need of drastic overhaul. It has already been proven that that is in fact the case. There’s no taking it back. There’s no fixing it. It’s done. The debate is officially over. Huge, sweeping changes must immediately be made, and there’s no valid reason for the protests to stop until that has occurred.”
Surely Trump must’ve known that carying a bible in a Episcopal church is considered gauche not that it matters to everyday Americans. BTW, that particular denomination was a sanctuary, a source of spiritual solace and strength for erstwhile Catholic social climber Madeleine 500k-children-worth-it Albright — before she discovered her Jewish roots.
Among Trump’s many lacking skills is caring how what he says and does affects others. His standing almost at attention while proudly displaying a book which we were all supposed to assume was a Bible, waving it around, and pointing to it were all quite repulsive to me even though I generally support what he does and also even though I am now a non-religious recovering true believer and do not consider the Bible to be Holy or special. I immediately knew that he was making a complete ass of himself on national tv, and he would receive a torrent of hate on social media for his stupid stunt. He is still a bold, boisterous, bullying businessman and a brash social buffoon. But still far, far better than the only other choice we were offered by the Deep State in 2016.
An aspect of cop bullying behaviour I have not seen much mentioned here.
Race war or bust? MSM smothers racial unity over police killing of Minneapolis man by reminding blacks & whites to hate each other
https://www.rt.com/op-ed/489945-police-killing-minneapolis-racial-division/
““Liberals and conservatives alike were horrified on Monday by a widely-circulated Facebook video showing a white police officer choking an unarmed, handcuffed black man to death by kneeling on his neck for upwards of seven minutes, ignoring his increasingly feeble cries for help until he went limp. Regardless of their race, viewers demanded the officer – Minneapolis Police Department’s Derek Chauvin – be charged with murder and cheered at the news he and three colleagues present during the Memorial Day incident had been suspended from the force.
Thousands of protesters marched on Minneapolis’ third police precinct headquarters on Tuesday, carrying banners demanding justice for Floyd and his family. While a small group broke windows and sprayed graffiti en route, the riot-gear-clad cops met the entire racially-heterogeneous group as if it were an invading army, hurling stun grenades and firing rubber bullets and tear gas into the crowd. At least one woman was shot in the head.
Journalists and politicians on social media reacted to this appalling show of excessive force not by unilaterally condemning police violence – that would risk cementing the dreaded “unity” – but by contrasting the crackdown with last month’s docile police response to a “Liberate Minnesota” protest against the state’s Covid-19 lockdown. Hundreds of mostly-white protesters, many strapped with guns, had surrounded the Governor’s Residence of Democrat Tim Walz, demanding an end to the pandemic-inspired stay-at-home order.”
Racist Killing and Impunity
https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2020/05/racist-killing-and-impunity/
“A social culture where perception of others is not conditioned by skin tone is obtainable. In the process of getting there, a system of law with no impunity for racism and with exemplary punishment for agents of the state in contravention is essential.
A court will judge whether there was intent to kill George Floyd; what is absolutely apparent is there was certainly no intent by the police to preserve his life or health. It is also plain that the force used was wildly disproportionate for the alleged offence. It is further undeniable that police violence in the USA impacts particularly on black people, and that in dealing with black people the police act with an arrogance founded on anticipated impunity. The societal change whereby the majority of adults have camera phones at the ready has given a new power of resistance to the public in this regard. That must be reinforced by exemplary sentencing.
The law currently takes the opposite approach….Police who kill in the course of their duties are given every latitude by the courts and far lower sentences than others who kill. That attitude needs to reverse.”
Interesting Murray also thinks cops who commit crimes should receive heavier punishments than regular citizens would. That is something I’ve been advocating for many years now.
Times for the history-books, parts of the silent suffering 90% now kneeling and raging on streets and places known as Twins areas. Now Mars is approaching Neptune, who will placate the igniter.
A new Zeitgeist emerging in the families.

Agent Provocateurs: Police at Protests All Over the Country Caught Destroying Property
https://www.mintpressnews.com/agent-provocateurs-police-caught-destroying-property-protests/268125/
“In Seattle, police were caught on camera smashing through the door of a local Target, seemingly far away from any conflict or commotion.
In Boston, video circulated appears to show multiple police officers destroying their own car.
In San Bernardino, CA, protestors claim they held four hours of peaceful demonstrations until the police arrived, at which point the area was engulfed in flames.
In Chicago, images show a group of police swarm a car, hitting it with clubs. Eyewitnesses say they were looking for looters but they attacked the wrong vehicle anyway.
Earlier this week there was also the suspicious case of the Minnesota vandal dubbed “Umbrella Man.” Video shows the oddly dressed individual methodically smashing the windows of an Autozone store. Umbrella Man was immediately identified as Jacob Pederson of the Minneapolis Police Department by online sleuths and real-life acquaintances, something the police have denied.”

Population control is overdue. Big cities are too complicated. Why are we waiting ? … are we lost ? … are we waiting for divine intervention ?
Please Paul, are you a eugenist? Population control? Humans are now divine? Big cities too complicated? No, the greed of the .00001% at the top runs rampent. There is more than enough on the planet to share, fair and square………see; opulant waste on materialism with complete lack of compassion for sacred divine life………….will you be on the volunteer list for those choosing to free up some space first? Who do you choose to off ahead of you?
Add some perspective, like me living in the second largest country on the planet, population 37 million. Most large cities have larger populations. Third world countries are where most of the over population takes place, yet they have a much smaller ecological foot print than first world countries. First world countries over use, lets start the population control there first.
What is the role of TIP (Turkestan Islamic Party) in Syria ? Occupation proxy for Turkey of course. The Turkish annexation of the province Hatay was based on the same strategy and the french handed it to them in other words sold out Syria to Turkey for some gold money to the Rothschilds. Turkey bussed in turkmen that falsely claimed to be historic residents and claimed the annexation of Hatay were based on a referendum. It was as unjust as the creation of a jewish state in Palestine under another Rothschild clan, the zionist Rothshild in London. The french Rothschilds were also zionist directing french policies, as were the british Rothschilds directing british politics, and the two countries together had occupied the entire Middle East, installing their vasalls, and directing the policies of the emerging nation states through vasall rulers. The british singled out arabs of the hashemite kingdom of Hejaz, the sons of the emir became King of Jordan, another King of Syria, and King of Iraq. The occupation of Iran failed. Palestine were to establish the jewish state of Israel within Palestine. The King of Syria was shortlived and the king was moved to Iraq. With this the british/french established the assumption of an arabic Middle-East were they could simply move their allied arab leaders of Arabia into any country to establish a vassal government. One with dictatorial powers so as to write over any business and resource to the british/french. Official agreements were signed to last for 100 years. Then Hejaz was denied its independance as guaranteed by the treaties and Saudi Arabia, Arabia given to the head of the family of Saud, it implies a person of absolute power and a family dynasty of Wahabi were to govern Arabia as a whole. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Arabia_1914.png
The Middle East of course had been under arab conquest and were culturally arabic ie. language and culture as established by the Chaliphate they established. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashidun_Caliphate
Middle Eastern peoples are not arab however. For example Palestine are more greek and roman peoples and ancient isrealite commonly known as palestinians in modern history, Lebanese, Iraqi, Syrian, Iranians are all peoples of many historic nationalities separate from but not excluding arabic peoples of course especially during and after the Caliphates.
So how does the Turkish empire (Ottoman) that lost this war against the british and the french with arabic support actually be given the Syrian province of Hatay? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatay_Province
The real answer can not be found in Wikipedia. Syria rejected the arab king and became a hot contest for independence from the French and British. They therefore sought to establish a contested region with Turkey a permanent division between Syria and Turkey and the historic significant Hatay was perfect for their conspiracies . Golan Heights was earlier established as part of Syria in an exchange between the French and the British Mandates,and the division of Palestine itself from Syria is a subdivision since Palestine was Southern Syria even back in ancient pre-isrealite historic times when the Amorite King ruled the Jebusite City of Jerusalem, and certainly during the Ottoman empire. But the british/french established the entire Middle-East falsely as arab and established arab rulers as a norm.
No turks ever lived as an ethnic group in Alexandretta (Antioch) the significant (and strategic) seaport of Hatay.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c5/Turkey_Peace_treaty.gif
Very few turks at all lived in the border areas to Syria, it was mostly armenian and kurdish.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb/Ethnicturkey1911.jpg (disregard the common british nominator arabs and substitute for syrian, the indigenous peoples of Syria including arab ).
So the zionist plan is to enlarge the zionist capture of Palestine, and diminish the historic peoples and lands in the Middle East and pertaining to Syria to continue their war and occupation now performed by NATO Turkey in Idlib and Latakia and Israel in the Golan and in the rest of Syria by their mercenary forces under the disguise of revolt. That was always a false pretense. Those forces were prepared as an occupational army from the activities of al Qaeda in Iraq under US / British leadership in particular by recruiting forces and form it into ISIL .
Covert activities hijacked peaceful demonstations and created subversive activities such as killing of peaceful demonstrators and blaim it on the government and in particular on president al Assad. In parallell a government in exile was prepared, and with it an international alliance to occupy Syria and form a government with al Qaeda and ISIL participation so as to destroy the country for other purposes than international corporations running it and partition Golan to Israel. It seems that Turkey was promised more territories in Syria and they are now occupying Idlib, Alleppo province and parts of kurdish Rojava with its army, and both Idlib, Alleppo, Rojava and Latakia with proxy turkish occupants using the same stratey as with Hatay. Turkmen military groups have occupied these provinces and are part of the turkish occupation. It is not just a turkish plan, it is that of the Rothschild plans such as represented by the french, british and american governments and military operations.
Syrian warplanes now attack groups of TIP (Turkestan islamic Party) in Latakia and Hama.
https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/syrian-warplanes-unleash-heavy-overnight-attack-on-foreign-jihadist-base/
Sadly the occupation of Syria receive support from a large body of Rothschild (zionist) controlled NATO countries that make illegal wars across the world.

So I did the old lady confronting the “Black Lives Matter” protesters: yep, I shook my finger and told them not to trash my community and that they would have to deal with me first if they tried. Then I snorted, ” yeah, Black lives matter” except those in Venezuela and Iran, huh? ” Accused them of hypocrisy and invited them to be out with me on Veteran’s day with protest signs. November 11th is a long, long ways away—too long for their little ahistorical attention spans.
“So uncool, old lady who won’t virtue signal…no matter…the future be ours”. was the sentiment..
Little dumb-*ss privileged white kids who will be recruited out of this mess to run the NWO surveillance state: that is the plan, my man.
I think it is fairly safe to say that the country has been taken over by the Obama/Sharpton hucksters (the murder was a serious crime but the victim was not in any way a national hero-tragic to ever expect this country will heal and get back to normal, whatever normal means these days-to state the obvious, the agenda here will be fulfilled and in no way will the criminality of the obama/biden admin ever be exposed).
No serious thinker in the world can take any joy from these scenarios playing out: blundering, bumbling trump with his zionist incompetent son in law will be sent back to new york; biden in his dementia will get a black vp selected by clyborn, will be selected (the odds makers increasingly are predicting) and he will stumble his way back to his basement.

The Anonymous comment above from last night was by Raisa, I hope you realized, and sorry to forget my name. I wrote it because of your thoughts and poems not being with the other’s above, and who I thanked today, to my having to depart the Saker’s now, and because of the urgent message I felt compelled to share with you.
I found this article when I accidently clicked an article link. Don’t normally read atlantic articles, but the title piqued my interest. It turned out to be a surprisingly well done article. Which is why I recommend it here.
The Myth of the Kindly General Lee
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/06/the-myth-of-the-kindly-general-lee/529038/
This is how it ends:
“The most fitting monument to Lee is the national military cemetery the federal government placed on the grounds of his former home in Arlington.
To describe this man as an American hero requires ignoring the immense suffering for which he was personally responsible, both on and off the battlefield. It requires ignoring his participation in the industry of human bondage, his betrayal of his country in defense of that institution, the battlefields scattered with the lifeless bodies of men who followed his orders and those they killed, his hostility toward the rights of the freedmen and his indifference to his own students waging a campaign of terror against the newly emancipated. It requires reducing the sum of human virtue to a sense of decorum and the ability to convey gravitas in a gray uniform.
There are former Confederates who sought to redeem themselves—one thinks of James Longstreet, wrongly blamed by Lost Causers for Lee’s disastrous defeat at Gettysburg, who went from fighting the Union army to leading New Orleans’s integrated police force in battle against white-supremacist paramilitaries. But there are no statues of Longstreet in New Orleans.* Lee was devoted to defending the principle of white supremacy; Longstreet was not. This, perhaps, is why Lee was placed atop the largest Confederate monument at Gettysburg in 1917, but the 6-foot-2-inch Longstreet had to wait until 1998 to receive a smaller-scale statue hidden in the woods that makes him look like a hobbit riding a donkey. It’s why Lee is remembered as a hero, and Longstreet is remembered as a disgrace.
The white supremacists who have protested on Lee’s behalf are not betraying his legacy. In fact, they have every reason to admire him. Lee, whose devotion to white supremacy outshone his loyalty to his country, is the embodiment of everything they stand for. Tribe and race over country is the core of white nationalism, and racists can embrace Lee in good conscience.
The question is why anyone else would.”
The answer is…because it is FAR, far more complicated than your simple formulation.
I think Lee was a traitor.in effect….but not in intent….choosing his native Virginia over the Union.
Auslander …might not.
Did you notice??? “War of Northern Aggression.”, were his words.
Yeah, in the midst of Sherman’s March to the Sea….it might maybe could look a bit like that.
It did to those Unionist forebearers of Ryan Dawson in the outer Banks, North Carolina that switched to the Southern Cause….because of General William Tecumseh “War is Hell” Sherman tearing up the south in a way they simply could not bear.
Remember, they had one male slave they gave a dinghy to and had him row to the mainland…and freedom in those precise days of switching allegiances.
A bit late….lol…but that was their conscience at the time.
“White Supremacists”??? Or not quite so simple???
I think Lee made a serious blunder as did his men. But that doesn’t mean Lee or all his men or Auslander or others from the Southern States today that object to Lee’s statues being torn down fit your “one size fits all” Sorosian “Black LIves Matter” utterly foolish and similarly tragic “White Supremacist” over-simplification..
Their error was lack of knowledge of the global strategic situation of their time, and oversimplification of that situation in their own egoic and local terms.
That’s your error as well. Which is how you land in Soros’ bed dreaming of someone taking out the US President. Without realizing what he is doing, as in that “photo-op” with the bible at the church.
Hook, line and sinker man, and it pains me to say it. But get this: Under placid social conditions, during his presidency in the 1990’s, Bill Clinton held up a bible in front of that same church…in almost exactly the same pose.
But the Soros mob …including some Dem senators went nuts when Trump did it a couple days ago. You also lost all judgment of the actual situation.
Y’all evidently never knew about the Clinton scene at that church (like you…or I …before I dug for MORE) but if you think Orangeman didn’t have that ace in the hole photo of Bubba many hours before he walked across the street to that church……..I don’t know what to tell you to help you think a little better….next time.
So you’re not played by Soros….and the Atlantic Monthly….again.
But they had more of an excuse…as a real picture of the wold is infinitely easier to access today than it was in the 1860’s.
What’s required is the realization of how incomplete that picture is….and keep working at it instead of being satisfied with the picture you have..or had 3 years ao….because it still “feels so good” to you..
No one’s picture is ever quite complete. But realizing that, early, early on…. is at least a halfway decent start.
You’re reacting on a quote. And even for a quote, it is always someone else’s fault. Someone elses ‘error’.
I’m weary of this nonsense. Someone else that is at risk of being manipulated by Soros. Someone else .. that does not get it someone else that is too emotional .. someone else that cannot possibly get the very complicated issues. Yeah … I’m weary of this kind of pretense.
The president that you love so much says he does not know if the US can get along with China. And accuses China of not stopping the virus in China – idiot – If I knew there is no stopping a virus, how could China have stopped it? But then again, you think there is no virus. Is your position the same as your president? Or is it too complicated?
amarynth
You said…”I’m weary of this nonsense.”…well that makes, at the very least, two of us that are extremely weary.
This nonsense that you refer to is the very reason I hardly bother to comment any longer.
Cheers from the south seas
Col
Bro, is your position the same as your group? Your group that is so destructive and toxic for affairs of this planet of ours, that it is has now reached the Chinese Press.
“A new research has revealed that twitter accounts of Trump supporters and infamous US conspiracy-mongers endorsing the QAnon movement are at the center of a coordinated astroturfing campaign to spread rumors about the coronavirus, particularly the conspiracy theory saying “China created the virus as a bioweapon,” an unverified accusation repeatedly embraced by the US president and his administration, leading many to suspect the political purposes behind the coordinated retweeting campaign in promoting the interests of far-right US politicians.”
Read it slowly, very slowly, as it is a long and complicated sentence and they are fairly emotional. I liked this sentence specifically:
“Widespread conspiracy theories and rumors across Western social media reflect how anti-intellectualism prevails among the US public, said Li.”
https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1190679.shtml
Do you still stand with your group in their astroturfing campaign to further destroy relationships with China and increase the possibility of a deteriorating cold war and everything that comes out of that?
I like this sentence as well: “In many ways, this particular conspiracy theory has been very damaging for foreign relations between China and other countries – this is a terrible loss, as we all have shared goals and can benefit so much from good will, exchanges of culture and trade opportunities.”
Is it reaching the grey matter why I consistently spoke up against this specific ball of (bbbaaaddd wwwordds).
Its quite fine to say the American public are learning out of this, but, what are they learning, and what have they just caused?
(Kindly note that this topic has been banned by the Saker and I’m truly pushing my luck here. My intent is not to discuss the group and their ‘super dooper’ nature, but simply to find out if this regular poster that is so frequently accusing others including myself, of taking joy in America’s current failures, or having some kind of schadenfreude for someone else’s troubles, are grokking or getting the harm that is being caused. I am pushing my luck because this is serious.)
Accusing others of schadenfreude is both shortsighted and really idiotic. Most here will understand what the fall of the Dollar actually means for those parts of the world that are unable to hedge against it, and for us that are still in total shock seeing what this current administration under Trump is doing to try and outMAGA and outTHUG anyone else. My fear is that we are getting closer to a state of warfare and it is simply who is going to run out of energy first, or who will make a mistake first.
Right, so we have full-on sanctions to block the Nord Stream 2 pipeline’s completion.
This will “apply to vessels engaged in all pipe laying activities, as well as to those who facilitate providing those vessels, as well as to those who provide insurance, port facilities, or tethering services for those vessels, and ultimately to any company that provides certification for the Nord Stream 2 pipeline to begin operations.”
Forgive me .. but .. riot boys! riot! Burn the system down! (not the neighbors, not the mom ‘n pops’ not the burbs, the system! This is just a mindless shout – I don’t really want riots. I just want the incessant war of the empire to come to a hard halt!
https://sputniknews.com/world/202006041079520295-newly-introduced-us-bill-imposes-sanctions-on-all-companies-working-for-nord-stream-2/
But, but, but…trump’s economic war is nicer, more humane than “the democrat’s” economic war.
That’s one small step for US Senate, one giant leap for war !
I think that the incessant war of the empire will come to a very hard halt!
… another American “Green Zone” … but on the inside …
New anti-riot fencing has been installed around the White House complex on Thursday in the aftermath of protests sparked by the George Floyd killing, in Washington DC.
The additional fences range from seven feet (2.13m) to more than nine feet (2.73m) high and extend the perimeter of the previous one placed on Tuesday along Lafayette Square to keep protesters further away from the White House grounds.
The presence of the National Guard has also increased, as troops can be seen lining the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and patrolling other federal monuments across the US capital.

(what goes around, comes around)
Assorted Haiku*
when the hunt begins,
even the shadows make way –
cat on silent feet
malevolent one;
beware the demon slayer,
he knows things you don’t!
how to become wise;
when trying to fool the Gods
you will always fail
the arrow that strikes
the eagle is made from its
own tailfeathers
what is death
but a letting go and a
fierce remembering?
* Dedicated to Ras/Raisa who was instrumental in awakening my love for haiku.
A fanciful tale of ‘a wandering louse’.
My Elephant From Laos
I am a poor
wayfaring louse.
I’ve had me a cat,
I’ve had me a mouse.
I’ve had me a dog,
out in the doghouse;
But nothing compares
to my elephant from Laos!
Down in the soft folds
of his trumpeting trunk,
He’s heaven on earth,
my lumbering hunk;
Cats put up a fight,
mice stay up all night,
But elephants are big
and filled with delight!
There’s breakfast and brunch,
and so much to explore.
There’s drinks after lunch,
and siesta at four.
There’s time to make hay
and nymphs galore;
Games to invent
and so much more!
My elephant is tall,
he lopes and he sprawls.
There’s time to think,
while unhindered, I crawl.
The only thing you need
is earplugs real small.
Oh God, please don’t let
my elephant fall!
Once had me a human,
but it proved the pits;
I staked out that head,
and filled it with nits.
But spritz of foul liquid
that gave me the shits,
Meant I barely survived
and so called it quits!
I am a poor
wayfaring louse.
I’ve had me a cat,
I’ve had me a mouse.
I’ve had me a dog,
Out in the doghouse,
But nothing compares
to my elephant from Laos!
earplugs so small against his thundering bawl? So fun–this poem of yours, Dimitar.
thanks I needed that after fielding a Skype call from a friend overseas telling me how insane the USA looks from abroad. Tell me. the louse life looks lovely!!!! from here.
Hi Tera, it’s one of those poems that’s so far out you think, ‘this is simply ridiculous’. But after jotting down the opening verse in two seconds flat and closing the book on the idea, I came across it this evening and it seemed like fun. So, nose to the grindstone, it all came tumbling out. In fact, I’d been working on animal haiku which metamorphosed into the dedication to ras, and then the personification thing occured with this idea, which started as a playful take on “I am a wayfaring stranger”. One can never second guess the Great Spirit, and of course, the trick is finding the angle that is often so elusive. So thanks, again, and I’m glad it was an enjoyable experience as it was for me. Cheers, and love, D.

Peter Lavelle poses the trenchant question—class or race? or is it class and race?
Where is ioan? When was the last comment by him??
I’m full of questions about everyone everything including “Bitcoin”.
Like: What does that word even means now, with it so diluted in so many contending pretenders to the name?
Or:
What was it supposed to be, in the intent of its inventor?
AND for the purposes of this comment:
“Does it have any serious relevance to the global strategic matters discussed here….or not?”
If it doesn’t I don’t have time for it. However that is not proven yet, for either good or ill, as far as I am concerned. And evidence to the contrary, Questions to the Contrary…..keep arising.
And so, transcripts of a June 28, 2019 court deposition ( a LOT of questions….a few answers….lol) evidently became public for the first time this past Monday June 1 right here:
https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6309656/550/37/kleiman-v-wright/
and since the latter section of the deposition is termed “the national security section of this deposition” by the judge….and since around page 98 (blue numbers) or 486 (black numbers) Clintons and Putin come up …..the number of questions needing answers….continues to grow
That “National Security” Section…more or less near its start:
5 Q. Where in New York were you?
Page 487
6 A. I don’t remember the name of the hotel.
7 Q. What was the purpose of your trip?
8 A. I was on my way to Venezuela.
9 Q. What were you going to do in Venezuela?
10 A. I was doing forensic work.
11 Q. For who?
12 A. I was doing forensic work with a group
13 associated with ICE. We were tracking movement of
14 money associated with FARC and FARCV.
15 Q. What is ICE?
16 A. ICE is customs enforcement here in the U.S.
17 Q. Was there anyone else at the meeting
18 between you and Mr. Williams and Dave Kleiman?
19 A. No.
20 Q. How long did the meeting last?
21 A. Less than half an hour.
22 Q. What was the purpose of the meeting?
23 A. I was discussing tracking of SWIFT-based
24 assets, and Mr. Williams also had — Mr. Williams had
25 a theory that a number of Russian oligarchs and
133
1 Mr. Clinton had a relationship.
2 Q. What — what was the relationship?
Page 488
3 A. He believed that Putin was funding the
4 Clintons.
5 Q. And how did that involve you?
6 A. I helped train Mr. Williams.
7 Q. Who — who was Mr. Williams?
8 A. Mr. Williams was formally of mi6. He was
9 of GCHQ. He was an operative involved in the tracing
10 of monetary funds between different European
11 countries over SWIFT.
12 Q. So was he working for the — the United
13 Kingdom Government — sorry. Strike that.
14 Was he working in his capacity as an agent
15 for the Untied Kingdom Government when he
16 participated in this call with you?
17 A. Only partially.
18 Q. Why do you say “only partially”?
19 A. Because he took software that I wrote and
20 he used it to break into American servers because he
21 had — had this bee in his bonnet about the Clintons.
22 Q. And why did you involve Dave Kleiman in
23 that conversation?
24 A. I wanted to clean up everything to do with
25 Satoshi. Dave was not only my friend, but he’s a
133
Page 489
1 forensic expert. I wanted to ensure that there was
2 no record of my being Satoshi left.
3 Q. What does that — what does that have to do
4 with Mr. Williams’ theory about the Clintons and
5 Putin?
6 A. Mr. Williams was a little bit like me, in
7 that when he gets focussed on one thing, he keeps
8 going back to it.
9 Q. I’m — I still don’t understand.
10 Can you elaborate what the connection
11 between your connection to Satoshi and Mr. Williams’
12 theory about Putin and the Clintons? I don’t
13 understand the relationship.
14 A. Mr. Williams helped me with some of the
15 nature of SWIFT transfers and monetary transfers with
16 data around e-gold and other things that were using
17 to fund crime as well as movements of Russian
18 Government money.
19 Q. And how did that connect to erasing your
20 connection to Satoshi?
21 A. Part of that was to do with the fact that
22 Bitcoin was created as a system so that people
23 couldn’t bypass controls around things like SWIFT.
24 Bitcoin was created as a system of money with an
25 evidentiary trial that could not be bypassed. It was
133
1 designed to be private so that the NSA, who
Page 490
2 Mr. Williams had been seconded to, couldn’t monitor
3 everyone’s transactions; but people like the State
4 Department, who would take down individual
5 transactions and follow these, so that they could do
6 good old-fashioned policing, so to speak, and analyze
7 the transactions between individuals, such as in drug
8 markets or other crimes.
9 Q. How did that have to do with you erasing
10 your connection to Satoshi?
11 A. We had a communication before I left to go
12 to Venezuela, where Dave and Mr. Williams were all on
13 the line. Mr. Williams had helped me in the early
14 days when I was creating Bitcoin. And no one else,
15 other than Dave and Mr. Williams, knew at that point
16 that I was definitively Satoshi or what I’ve done.
17 Q. And when — what was the date of this call,
18 video call?
19 A. I don’t remember the exact date.
20 Q. And what did Dave Kleiman say during this
21 call?
22 A. I don’t remember his exact talks, but he
23 was willing to help me because we had been friends a
24 long time. He was —
25 Q. When — go ahead.
133
Page 491
1 A. He was willing to help me get rid of all of
2 the past.
3 Q. Was this call the time when Dave found out
4 you were Satoshi?
5 A. No.
6 Q. And you made that ask of both Dave Kleiman
7 and Gareth Williams to help you erase your
8 connections to Satoshi on that call?
9 A. Yes. I agreed with Gareth that if
10 Mr. Williams deleted all the records of what I was
11 doing and helped me, that I would help him with
12 software that was necessary for some of his
13 investigations that were outside the scope of his
14 normal work.
15 Q. So you reached an agreement that he would
16 delete the records of you being Satoshi. What —
17 strike that.
18 What records did you ask Mr. Williams to
19 delete?
20 A. Communications between myself and him.
21 Q. And what were the contents of those —
22 sorry. Strike that.
23 And the content of those communications
24 would have revealed you being Satoshi?
25 A. Some of them, yes.
133
Page 492
1 Q. What method of communication did you use
2 with Mr. Williams?
3 A. We used the number of encrypted channels,
4 including things like Cryptcat.
5 Q. Did you use Bitmessage?
6 A. No. It didn’t exist at that point.
7 Q. Was Mr. Williams involved in Bitcoin in any
8 way beyond helping you — beyond agreeing to delete
9 the records of you belonging to Satoshi?
10 A. Yes.
11 Q. How was Mr. Williams involved?
12 A. Mr. Williams was a very good mathematician,
13 and I used his skill of knowledge in analyzing graph
14 theory in associated with the creation of Bitcoin and
15 some of the mining algorithms that I was planning to
16 implement.
17 Q. Dr. Wright, you helped the U.S. Government
18 build cases and apprehend Viktor Bout?
19 A. I was involved with giving evidence or
20 producing evidence.
21 Q. Can you tell me about that a little bit.
22 What work did you do in that case?
23 A. I created software to break encryption and
24 to put back doors in systems allowing the capture of
25 data.
133
1 Page
Q. Did the U.S. Government reach out to you 493
2 for that help?
3 A. No.
4 Q. Who reached out to you to provide that
5 assistance?
6 A. I had contacts with people like
7 Mr. Williams who worked for GCHQ.
8 MS. MCGOVERN: Your Honor, I’m going to
9 object to this extended line of questioning.
10 I believe the limited scope of the
11 deposition at the deposition was for
12 purposes of identifying individuals involved
13 or, as the claim — or, as the Plaintiffs
14 believed, were involved in the Bitcoin
15 system. And this goes beyond that.
16 THE COURT: I’ll sustain that
Shucks! I need even more questions and answers, troubling as they may be!.
Just caught a small piece on a small site called Putin Today, regarding the issues of America as seen by many Russian people I suppose. The article was asking what would happen if Russia sent medics for a viral infection to America, and nuclear weapon sites were involved. The translation was too bad for it to be fully understood, but this readers comment comes across loud and clear.
Just one person? Yes, but every one person who writes, there are hundreds who agree but dont write. I dont know – but I hope Russia isn’t storing up problems up for herself and can learn from the disaster that is the US>
Galina Artemonova:
“Ouch! Let them sort out their own problems better. Millions of homeless people, including the crazies(watched the video-closed psychiatric). Gays,lesbians and who do not understand.The middle class used to live at the expense of the whole world.The problem of health insurance has not been solved.The property is mortgaged and re-mortgaged .And also African-Americans who require special treatment for themselves(I’m not talking about this tragedy). Well, here they are or similar dark-skinned people in Moscow.
I go to the subway once(not now of course , two or three years ago the case was.) And in the subway, a wild scream at the entrance.Three black guys are trying to get through on the same ticket. Duty officer im explains that a ticket for one trip can be used by one person, so buy tickets. A young man shouts, ” you’re not letting us in because we’re black!”” And he speaks pretty good Russian-you can tell by the students. “Guys, do you know what would happen to you now if you were Russian? they would have taken you to the police,” I said.They looked back at the scowling security staff and went to buy tickets.”
Hmmmmm.
People deserve a fair shake to get on their feet.
But in some instances they don’t really want that fair shake …..and the chance to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. That puts a bit too much pressure on some of them to actually take responsibility for their lives. And so, ……quite perversely, some are actually conditioned to adopt a “winning formula”….which is to be losers….irresponsible infants…and run their silly rackets on society…other races…or even within their personal relationships..
Again the majority of loser crabs are threatened by any trying to escape the traps they are all held back in….identifying themselves as victims…and try to hold back those that have a lot more of their stuff “together” , to be like all the others that have nothing going except victimhood.
This is what is incomprehensible to liberals with too much heart and too little brain.
Tolstoy even wrote a book about it, a short novel, His own idealistic commitment as a young man to eschew the social life of Russian nobility….in St Petersburg and instead tend to the family estates….in order to “serve God and Humanity” and uplift the peasants who though “free” were still quite serf-like in their habits of squalor and hopeless lack of vision to be any other way. He wanted to see them improve their dwellings, their agricultural management of their plots, save, invest in their own freedom to better themselves,etc.
His ideas were not their ideas…and in not so many years, he was perplexed and fatigued by one frustration after the next.
I remember one positive exception: A young peasant that always outwitted Tolstoy’s every plan for him, but found freedom and happiness in an enterprise no one in his family ever had the opportunity to try: He travelled around his part of Russia with a cart full of goods plentiful in one area but lacking in other towns and villages, became prosperous and very much enjoyed his wandering, goods trading lifestyle.
Tolstoy’s character (himself, no doubt) with his cares and worries about many other people he felt responsible for gave hints of envy of the young cheerful peasant and had to reflect that he never would have suggested the trading life this peasant found. But maybe there was some small, unintended influence in the course of the young man rejecting his master’s ideas….and coming up with his own.
There can be a similar dynamic with parents and their children.
In Koenig’s article you ask of Mr Chapman to be more specific with what Chavez “stole”.
It could very well be the privileges of sellout Venezuelans to the foreigners! It’s called “Nationalization.” to most but “theft” to others.
There could also be considerable mismanagement and bungling.
The IMF and their “banker’s arithmetic” are a huge problem stunting the development of Latin America and Africa, It is necessary to free such places of that usury.
But by itself even that may not be sufficient:
Some of their own cultures and habits are as big a problem as the IMF…the Empire is.
Let’s see if China has better luck!
Now I’ll finish up with a little video of an articulate young black woman that I especially recommend for vot tak so that he might grow out of his Sorosian “White Supremacist” formulation that just perpetuates the infantilism and Empire methods of Divide and Conquer….”pimping out our black struggle” as Officer Tatum puts it:

Candace Owens: “I DO NOT support George Floyd!” & Here’s Why!
That’s a relatively newer “delta” …a significant change…clear thinking. leadership and maturity. And I sure would prefer her as the first American female president over those absolute freaks …Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton,
Some more on Floyd George and his supposed killer Mr Chauvin.
Because Candace misses something that the occult controllers in Clowns In America (CIA) love to practice, just as their senior partners in the Occcult Bureau of British Intelligence do: Subliminal Mind Control.
Chauvin as in Chauvinist????
Come on guys!
Talk about “In Plain Sight!” LOL
That is worthy of considerable suspicion and further investigation. Which my next researcher source ……with a lot of help from others…is digging out of Minneapolis…and Texas…….with some very, very interesting leads….already..
Lugansk People’s Republic legislature adopts Russian as the only official language and on March 6, Donetsk People’s Republic amended its Constitution, defining Russian language as the official language.

Query: “Is this your first Soros Rodeo???
The Southland Report
First I heard some rumor that only poor neighborhoods were vandalized, the looters destroying the more industrious business owners of their own communities…..and that Beverly Hills was quiet.
Then my wife informed me that no, some shops on Rodeo Dr had been vandalized and looted.
I took visitors on a tour there once. We marveled at the beauty of a man’s shirt in a shop window and guessed its price. My guess was $300. I went inside and asked. If you need to ask, you don’t belong inside those shops, you need to go shop somewhere else: The price of the shirt was $1,750. Twenty years ago.
Since only a Filthy Rich Gay Peacock Of Man would ever wear a shirt like that…I’ve avoided that Rodeo ever Since Sticker Shock.
Let’s poke some fun at the American Psyche.

Home On The Range
Oh give me a home
Where the buffalo roam
And the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day!
Home, home on the range…….. blah, blah, blah
Happy (sometimes) for some, but most don’t know these late 1800’s lyrics that will excite the self-righteous contempt of those descendants of Europeans and English that stayed behind, in the-more- locked-up-by- hereditary-wealth Home Lands of the Old Countries:
“The Red man was pressed
From this part of the west,
He’s likely no more to return,
To the banks of the Red River
Where seldom if ever
Their flickering campfires burn.
How often at night
When the heavens are bright,
With the light from the glittering stars,
Have I stood there amazed
And asked as I gazed,
If their glory ……
Exceeds that of ours.”
Wow! Those English, Scots, Germans that sang those words were sure full of themselves! If only y’all could drag them back to the confines of the Old Countries……the buffalo might still roam!
NEXT: A New Soros Rodeo for y’all’s passionate Anti-‘Murican venting. Many of you already bought the tickets to it.

Nice and snappy and oh so true – a snippet just delivered on the latest “Renegade” on RT by a noted economist:
“it’s said that we {UK and US } have the best democracy money can buy and that is true — because money bought it. “
I’m struck by the utter hypocrisy of the generals and admirals coming out against trump in this latest episode (yes, I know, I’m back into the frustrating corner of defenses of trump), but these are the guys who were and are responsible for the endless wars on defenseless countries, their civilians, and infrastructure with millions of casualties and utter destruction.
mattis coming out with his clutch pearls atk in The Atlantic, the vipers nest of zionists and neo cons is particularly telling. These guys were and are well paid tools of the MIC and for them to come out now in defense of the Constitution is remarkable in a very bad way.
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/political-commentary/james-mattis-trump-mullen-allen-protests-white-house-constitution-police-1010164/
It takes an article in Rolling Stone, of all places, to put the hypocrisy in perspective:
What is it about a retired military general speaking up that causes so many otherwise intelligent and shrewd people to fall over themselves with praise? What is it about old white generals that is now so convincing and powerful when so many others, including people of color, have warned about this president’s worst impulses for so long?
These are, after all, the same military leaders who endorsed and defended a policy of forever war that has led to tens of thousands of American deaths, hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis and Afghans and Syrians and Yemenis and Pakistanis, hundreds of thousands of injuries physical and mental suffered by U.S. service members, and many billions of taxpayer dollars poured into endless conflict.
These are the same military leaders who have presided over the longest war in U.S. history, the Afghan war, a conflict so prolonged that there are soldiers old enough to serve who weren’t yet born when the U.S. first invaded in 2001.
These are the same military leaders who tell us that the “insurgents are on the defensive,” that we’re turning the “corner,” even as the Taliban insurgency regains territory and strength.
These are the same military leaders who insist that a full withdrawal of troops from countries like Afghanistan would be folly, and that the key to success is “boots on the ground.”
Besides the hypocrisy and the virtue signalling and the sheer ‘sick’ of the matter, if I was the occupant of the big white house, this would really be a disturbing trend. The military is a group onto themselves and massive clout. Pat Lang had some sour commentary : https://turcopolier.typepad.com/sic_semper_tyrannis/2020/06/will-muriel-lead-the-attack-on-the-white-house.html
Jeez, this one is a stunner: NED, the architect and financier of the empire’s regime change activities around the world since Ray Gun dynasty in the 1980’s comes out in support of Black Lives Matter: (It seems that we are setting new levels in hypocrisy these days as the cravens are rushing to embrace the riots, um protests).
https://www.sott.net/article/435829-Empires-regime-change-tool-NED-endorses-BLM-protests-calls-for-racial-justice-and-to-improve-our-democracy
When the NED enters a country, destabilization and chaos follows, all to the benefit of the US empire.
Taras, it’s the Anglo-zionist Empire…not the US Empire. The US is just it’s “muscle” not its brain center
Trump’s crime in their eyes is his intent to cut the brawn of that Empire (the United States) off from it’s “Brain”.
Most people are empiricists and they can’t see that fact yet.
Actually more Americans than foreigners see it, thus far….which is why Hillary lost and also why Dogs of War like Mattis are barking on cue.
George Washington would have him shot.

To my mind, whether it is anglo-zionist or us empire, it is a distinction without a difference.
I have not seen any intent by trump to cut the brawn with his continued sanctions, continued theft of syrian oil, continued obsequious support ot israel, aipac.
I will start to consider when bubblehead kushner is kicked out back to nyc and pompass is fired.
Kushner reportedly wants to run trump’s re-election campaign; this will assure with 100%certainty that trump is toast.
The next “Event” by the globalists to “correct” the “mistake” of the American electorate in failing to follow orders from the MSM Masters of Discourse in terms of electing Hillary Clinton…..will likely be a Food Crisis.
No, Food Riots and the danger of hungry males of whatever color, confident you are unarmed, cleaning out your USA pantries is NOT forecast to be Event # 3. Except of 2020.
There were numerous minor events prior to 2020 aimed at the “correction” but for brevity’s sake, I’ll just lump them all under The Big One…..”Russiagate”…. Event # 1. Now crumbling under the very weight of its absurdity for most everyone except Susan Rice….who even blames Russia for Minneapolis….no wait! For Everything.
So now we’re in # 3 (Soros Funded Race Riots) after The Thingee and # 4 will most likely be a deliberate destruction of food supplies and distribution. Since Deep State fortunes and the very lives of some of them are at stake, they will not stop unless #3 or #4 succeed…or until they are crushed and unable to pull off # 5 or # 6 or Event #7.
This is not a game. It’s a fight to the death. And I am NOT referring to the apparent deliberate asphyxiation of George Floyd OR the even more absurd deaths of numerous persons in riot demonstrations subsequent to his apparent demise. I’m referring to Soros vs Trump.
I say “apparent” in regard to GF’s demise because I didn’t see his dead body and people closer to the situation than I am are actually promoting the whole thing as Fake…..Staged…FF. Believe it or not.
I don’t go by belief. I go by proof…or I don’t know.
Like he was rushed into the police van, taken away and is just fine with the subsequent deaths “in his honor”. Well, Stranger things may have happened. But being in no position to either prove or disprove that theory, and given that many real subsequent riot deaths outweigh a police brutality death and death of Law and Order in a nation of 340 million outweighs a hundred deaths in a week, I’ll just move on from that theory….until the absolute proof is in…either way.
Either way, it is not the crux of the matter…..in any event. Or series of coup events.
Soros vs Trump is the crux. But the crux is rarely clear to people. It is obscured by evil going to great lengths to confuse and manipulate the perceptions and emotions of millions of people.
It is possible (but not guaranteed) that Minneapolis may be what clears away the fog, the smoke bombs and the tear gas…so that people not be fooled….. yet again, into supporting another Soros “Color Revolution”.
Neon Revolt has a new article Soros’ Color Revolution Aims to Topple Olympus Before the Onset of The Storm, but prior to that he put out a video (with transcript) titled FENTANYL FLOYD, MONEY LAUNDERING, AND HOW THE MEDIA LIES ABOUT EVERYTHING. (his site’s caps).
You can go to http://www.neonrevolt.com for that as there is a rule against posting the title to that latest article here.
On that site you can also scroll past the most recent article and come to any prior article and click on “read more” on any of them to open any of them…in one long scroll.
But there is no rule against this SOTT (Sign of The Times) article
https://www.sott.net/article/295896-George-Soros-The-hidden-hand-behind-color-revolutions
which needs to be constantly kept in mind before getting to the strange “coincidences” particularly in Minneapolis, which Neon aggregates from the work of various other named and anonymous …..anti-Soros sources.
Otherwise it’s easy to get sucked right into the minutae…where you can’t see the forest for the trees…and can’t find George among them.
NO! I don’t mean GF. I mean GS.
Caitlin Johnstone series of tweets https://twitter.com/caitoz
– I’ve been arguing with people the last few days who claim these protests are being staged/controlled by powerful elites, and not one of them has been able to provide a lucid argument using solid facts for why that’s true. Not one. Yet it’s a common belief in conspiracy circles.
– Obviously whenever something’s happening that has major political and societal consequences you’re going to have manipulation coming from all directions trying to advance certain agendas, that’s a given. But I’ve seen no coherent arguments that it’s anything like a driving force.
– “Corporations, Democrats and MSM are defending the protests!”
Of course they are. Liberal manipulations designed to nullify and neuter anti-establishment movements on the left are always preceded by the words “I hear you” with no intention of change. Obama did it for 8 years.
– “They’re trying to oust Trump!”
No they’re not. Why would they? He plays along with all their agendas. Everyone who knew anything knew Russiagate would fizzle (I said it from the very start), and anyone who could count senate seats knew impeachment would fail. It was kayfabe.
Anyway it’s an election year, dumbass. If they wanted to get rid of Trump why wouldn’t they try to use that, rather than set the entire nation on fire where they have vast fortunes and investments protesting the militarized police force they rely on to defend their kingdom?
– That’s not a lucid argument, it’s an incomplete thought. Where’s the rest of it? How are the orders coming through Soros to BLM? How are they going to the overwhelming majority of protesters who aren’t with BLM? And toward what end? Use complete thoughts.
The lucid argument would be the organization most prominently behind the protests is Black Lives Matter, and elites fund it through some of the most famous elite foundations in the world, including Ford Foundation & Soros-funded groups.
“An oligarch gives money to liberal political causes” is not an argument. Oligarchs seed money everywhere, mostly to shore up public approval and sow the bogus “philanthropist” narrative. Conservatives do it too.
The Word “Philanthropist” Is Poisonous
Well hot damn, we’ve lost a Koch brother! Do your happy dance, call out the munchkins and let your voice shake the heavens with a rousing…
– Again, the fact that manipulation is happening is not evidence that Soros or Russia or China or whoever is planting bricks. Have you considered that it’s the FBI or local police, or some other agency looking to manufacture consent for martial law?
Sorry but “Conspiracy Circles” itself is a CIA mind control technique.. neuro-linguistic programming only a fool would fall for.
Absurd arguments. Just absurd.
If everything is all sown up and nothing can be done …like you said about Billionaire Bill Gates REMEMBER ?? …what are you even pretending to do?? Why bother if it’s all hopeless???
Because arguing with incredibly LESS proof ……the absurd proposition …..that Trump and Soros are on the same team.”just turns you on”??
Prove that.
I know you’d like it to be true because it would relieve a lot of your stress. But this isn’t about relieving your stress.
Meanwhile let’s see what the evidence to the contrary is. You’ve got to be more patient. It’s coming. I just have to take a few breaks to attend to other things, occasionally that’s all.
Watch the blame game that these folks fall into … every time. He is in my head – he knows what turns on me, and he knows what I’d like to be true.
Stupid stupid.
“Because arguing with incredibly LESS proof ……the absurd proposition …..that Trump and Soros are on the same team.”just turns you on”??
Prove that.

Watch these Trumpers .. they’re gonna resurrect the dead guy, and they’re gonna blame it on the dead guy and they’re gonna connect the dead guy which will now be alive to everything else even previous dead. Sheep? Rabbits is a better description. They’re gonna blame it on the dead guy which will be alive and Trump will be perfectly right. He will have done everything perfectly and would have extra-sensory perception because he saw everything coming. And they will accomplish nothing, excepting another rabbit hole.
You’re not in my head Bro, but you’re hearing voices in yours. Stop the accusations to others. Are you not yet getting the message? Oh and btw, what you know about NLP can be written on a postage stamp. You are being fed with stupid conspiracy and you fall for it every time. Somebody does not want people to clearly and rationally respond, think, debate or come to conclusions.
Watch it – dead guy gonna live.

In America you can surely trust the “Christian” MSM….like Christianity Today (formerly run by Rev Billy Graham) right??
In FENTANYL FLOYD, etc Neon says of Christianity Today:
I want to read you an excerpt of the article they published on their website in the wake of the death of George Floyd, which was entitled:
George Floyd Left a Gospel Legacy in Houston
and ran with the subtitle of:
As a person of peace, “Big Floyd” opened up ministry opportunities in the Third Ward housing projects.
“The rest of the country knows George Floyd from several minutes of cell phone footage captured during his final hours. But in Houston’s Third Ward, they know Floyd for how he lived for decades—a mentor to a generation of young men and a “person of peace” ushering ministries into the area.”
“Before moving to Minneapolis for a job opportunity through a Christian work program, the 46-year-old spent almost his entire life in the historically black Third Ward, where he was called “Big Floyd” and regarded as an “OG,” a de-facto community leader and elder statesmen, his ministry partners say.”
“Floyd spoke of breaking the cycle of violence he saw among young people and used his influence to bring outside ministries to the area to do discipleship and outreach, particularly in the Cuney Homes housing project, locally known as “the Bricks.”
“George Floyd was a person of peace sent from the Lord that helped the gospel go forward in a place that I never lived in,” said Patrick PT Ngwolo, pastor of Resurrection Houston, which held services at Cuney.
“The platform for us to reach that neighborhood and the hundreds of people we reached through that time and up to now was built on the backs of people like Floyd,” he told Christianity Today.
The article ends by comparing all the deaths in this supposed canon to the death of Able in the bible, therefore, and by extension, comparing all those supposedly “guilty” to Cain, the first murdered in the Bible.
Well, at least Kate got two things right: George Floyd was from Houston, and “Big Floyd” certainly was his nickname. But it was a nickname he got from his career in the porn industry, working namely for Houston-based porn company, TheHabibShow.com
I don’t recommend you visit the site unless you absolutely have the need to see a dead man naked on a grimy, dimly lit porn set.
That’s not to stand in judgment of Big Floyd, either. The gospel does change people, so perhaps this was from a time before his conversion. Maybe he had truly changed and walked away from a life of darkness. Maybe he was trying to be good.
But this is where the plot thickens, things become that much more interesting, and the hyperbolic, manipulative conniptions of the media become that much more apparent.”
Enough for one comment. GF did not deserve to die for any of his past,
But let’s see what kind of a Deep State Movie Studio employed this 2 bit porn actor……….and his co-worker for many years….said to have killed him with 8 plus minutes of knee pressure on his neck.
This is like Lee Harvey Oswald, unaware of his own patsy assignment, passing out Free Cuba flyers half a block from where FBI man Guy Bannister’s office was working on the JFK assassination team.
But NO, amarynth: Nothing to see here at all. Don’t be a conspiracy theorist. Move right along…to give the billionaires we can’t stop …… Gates and Soros…especially…. as much of a free pass as possible.
I get it, I get it:
Stopping them just isn’t any “turn on” at all…compared to stopping Orange Man Bad from putting their globalism out of business!
The plot really thickening part, next.
Neon continues:
‘Let’s go back to the Christianity Today article for a moment, because there’s an interesting line in the middle of it’:
“Floyd moved to Minnesota around 2018, his family told the Houston Chronicle. He was there for a discipleship program including a job placement, according to pastor Ngwolo. “A ‘Bricks boy’ doesn’t just leave the Third Ward and go to Minnesota!” he said. Floyd told Dunn he had plans to return this summer.”
The Daily Mail would go on to report that he had actually moved there in 2014 to start a new life, following nine separate convictions and five separate jail sentences ranging from things like theft, to possession of controlled substances, to aggravated assault, to one once instance in 2009 where Floyd had entered a woman’s home and pointed a gun at her stomach while searching the premises for drugs and money.
Me: Can y’all see why black folk like Officer Brandon Tatun and Candice Owens and others neither wanted GF dead….NOR lionized as a saint….. by white exploiters “pimping out our black struggle”???
Neon: ‘So Floyd had been trying to leave his troubled past behind, and he did so by trying to pursue honest work, starting over as a bouncer at a local club in Minnesota.
But this is where it gets interesting:
It turns out that Both Floyd, and the police officer who allegedly killed him by choking off his air supply, one Derek Chauvin, already knew each other. In fact, the two had been co-workers, with both working security at that same club, a Latin dance club named
The…………… El Nuevo Rodeo club in Minneapolis.
And this makes sense: Chavin had his police experience and Floyd was a big guy, clocking in at some six feet, six inches tall, so both fit the job description. Clubs need security, and so they were bound to have known and interacted with each other during their years working there. But that’s a heckuva coincidence, wouldn’t you say?
So Anons started digging on this club connection, and it turns out that the club is owned by a Somali-owned company called Omar Investments Incorporated. Now remember, Minneapolis has a huge Muslim population, and in particular, the largest Somali population in the US, most of whom arrived there following the Somali civil war in the 90’s, and because of both these factors, the area has a huge issue with terror recruitment. A number of Isis fighters have actually been born here, on US soil in Minneapolis, and then been recruited by the terrorist organization as fighters. So to combat this, there is a huge national security presence in that region; the largest in the United states, in fact.
Anyway, to get directly to the point and not belabor things, Anons began to suspect that club itself might be connected with some of these same intelligence operations.
The primary connection came from the owner, one Muna Sabri. In 2001, it turns out a close relative of Muna, one Basim Sabri, a real estate mogul in Minneapolis, was caught by the FBI trying to bribe Minneapolis Councilman Brian Herron, to help assist with the development of a hotel on Lake Street and Second Avenue.
The Latin Dance club that Floyd worked for? Located on East Lake Street.”
Enough for one comment. Time for dinner.

I was just being quiet …nothing much new to say
Lying low and tending the garden
burning off karma;
rechemicalization
of human beings
Dimitar, friend, no insult intended but ….”huh, wha”. I am not arrogant ( ha, on that one) enough to demand that you write spectacular poetry always but…”rechemicalization” in a Koan-type poem seems a bit of a stretch.
still am enamored of your “lovely, lonely, lively louse from Laos”
That is however, what occurs, hence, the term.
As Polly would say, it is a known tactic of spooks to colonize an area –here Minneapolis– with emigres (Somalis) who are vulnerable and who then do the agency’s bidding.

I’m not especially a fan of blaming China which is blaming a region and a people for where the operators are based– I imagine the triads, the scions of the opium traders, but I digress. What is politics if not the subtle art of accusation
For the Saker, with thanks…
There is a valley in Egypt named ‘Wady El Khitan’, meaning ‘the valley of the whales’.
In the desert, the eastern desert…There is even a lake, beaded with greenery…A small one.
In the midst of the soft and treacherous ocher sands and the sculptured dunes and hills there are still huge bones of the wales died so long ago, when this was once a sea.
I went there many times and walked it with my happy big dog running like a beast – these were immense and arid timeless spaces.
Sometimes, still blinded by the light, I would pick up a tooth of a shark, maybe million years old….Just like this…
Why I am saying this?
You said once you were the submarine in the desert. There is dignity to it. And the feeling of change..
Thank you for everything you do

I posted this unbelievably beautiful song which has been with me since my youth, as a sign of my sadness for what is going on now in America. And the world.
Once there was so much creativity and beauty coming from this country.And all other countries…
I passionately hate the politics of USA towards the world, but I started to realize that USA is abducted since a long while..It is just the face of a bigger agenda, a rented thug.There are also smaller ones, like EU etc. etc…
Soros. in his own words:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv6MoaphJYQ
Naw…it’s just talk. He can’t do anything! He had nothing to do with any Color Revolutions…including Maidan in Kiev 2014. (Sarc)
But this “Supremacist” putting out this video...WHY HE…the wrong color???
Just a comment on Saker’s most incisive article about race, the riots and the crumbling of America… I have seen it reproduced in at least 4 other “publications” online. Perhaps it takes someone who is knowledgeable enough but still at root an outsider to write such an analysis. Sadness, grief, cultural memory, old internal thought forms seem to block most people from being able to step out of the comfort of angry positioning on the recent events. And so the slow ( the only quibble I have with the Saker on this is the speed at which it will happen) dissolution and disillusionment of Looneylandia continues.
Right now, I will not abide the Kal-ifornia Ku-tural K-oup of the Ku-lt left so I am at least contemplating escape to (sigh)a more physically agreeable place to live i.e. where I won’t be subject to forced vaccination or 5G on my rooftop–both untried, untested and unnecessary technologies. Fiber optics do as well as 5G and immune system support is better than vaccine for viral infection. As a child I lived in Grand Forks, ND ( brutal winters 40 degrees below zero) and like clockwork every year around January -February I would get sick. As long as I keep my Vitamin D at decent levels I am OK. and Vit C. But I know that now . As a respiratory therapist I watched people sickened by vaccines in the 1970’s with Guillan Barre. Every time I see doctors they try to push the latest vaccine on me and I patiently explain why–mostly they don’t bother arguing with me. Vaccines are made in China with miserable quality control ( do not, I repeat, do not accuse me of racism as I have dealt with products imported from China from various factories in different areas–unless you have a permanent quality control person stationed in the factory who reports to you, forget consistent quality control)… Not that they will necessarily be made any better in the USA–especially in these days of greed, mayhem and lack of accountability.
