A new Cafe header piece of art, capturing what was………….or perhaps, the new ‘old’ normal…….. such were days………
Something from ioan’s collection? It carries his style.
Cheers, M
Ah yes. The days when ladies and gentlemen wore hats; when a gentleman would pull out a chair for a lady, and ladies followed the edict of Edward Longshanks from 1200’s who asked that “ladies would cover their bosoms” :-)
And a civil conversation was almost always the order of the day; wit, humour, kindness.
Was it all just an illusion I wonder???
It’s such a lovely, sepia-soft depiction of a moment in time
Maybe partly an illusion, an acceptance of, and adherence to a commonality in socially-sanctioned social desirability, and maybe a bit of projection, because, after all, nothing is as it seems.
Certainly, your combination of wit, humour and kindness do mark a deeply attractive quality to social interactions which have mostly been shattered and scattered to the four winds by sadistic satanists who create never-ending situations of depravity, destruction and terrorism.
Stay kind and laugh at adversity anyway, dear Pamela.
Thank You for your thoughtful description of your life in Ecuador, in the last Café. In many ways, to me it seems idyllic, up in the highlands with indigenous people, eating locally produced healthy, organic food.
Yes the despair is all around us. The media suppress it, altho big names when they suicide /die do get mentioned. Yesterday it was a 29 year old AFL star who was a shining role model for young women. How she died was not mentioned yesterday; just that she had suffered mental health problems.
For me in Queensland I kinda schlepp around at my own pace in my own way; I notice things but only once was I approached by an authority figure who very kindly advised me to move on, when I sat on a low wall to retie my shoelaces. The buses on which I travel are largely empty. I don’t know how they can sustain their regular routes with no or very few paying customers.
The drivers get furious with kids brazenly not paying.
Obviously, it can’t go on as it is. Bars and restaurants seem to be doing brisk trade here, with the public seemingly happy to be contact traced. I’ve never seen police threaten people about social distancing or masks. And I see very few masks.
Yes, grocery items are creeping up in costs while shrinking in size. I suppose as an elderly person, this should not be too much of an issue. It’s the growing families with working parents who have the real needs.
A friend of mine has an horrific medical story which to me sounds precisely in accordance with the depopulation theory. She has a friend who is 83. He had a recurrence of melanoma. There was an operation, followed by severe infection and the conclusion that they had not got it all’.
Next, he was off to the GPs surgery, to have it removed in the treatment room.
No success. More infection. More antibiotics. Finally, last week, a consultation with specialist back at the hospital. Thinking there would be positive, therapeutic action, my friend was told to take him to a dermatologist, given some cream and sent home. My friend said the doctor looked like he was not with it.
I’m wondering what diktats he had received from the bureaucracy?
I was horrified to read of law passed in WA about the authorities’ rights to remove underwear if necessary, to give mandatory injections.
Therefore I’m hoping and praying that the lawyers who are preparing their cases against proponents of fraudulently used data which are used to crater our economic and social well-being, and especially our health, are successful. I realise it’s going to take time and requires monumental backing from the public.
Yes, I grew up reading about how we were /are a fourth rate culture…in those days I revelled in our relative freedom. Now of course, I see it all differently.
I know there to be highly intelligent people of integrity and kindness here, but of course, they are quickly deprived of oxygen once their originality rises above the parapet. “Cutting down the tall poppy” syndrome.
Now, I wonder, where have all the poppies gone?
Immediately my mind returns to Flanders Fields… it’s such a recurring scenario…
On that note, for now I’ll wish you well, glad that you are writing and continuing with learning and development, keeping as happy as you can, with what you have and where you are.
That includes us- hallelujah:-)
“It’s such a lovely, sepia-soft depiction of a moment in time”
Yes, I think that’s what prompted my sense of a dream, something I visited while sleeping, and remember in it’s softness and wistful memory.
Thanks for your update of life in Qld Babuska. At least thank goodness you’re not in Victoria. LIke you, I’m trying not to pin too much of my hopes on those planning the law cases against t hose who have committed these appalling crimes, purely because the disappointment would be so acute should they fail.
I note amarynth observations – that those countries who accepted IMF funds are being pressured to have a second “lockdown’.
Since Ecuador is one whe fell to the visiting Economic Hit-men, I’m awaiting that too, in hopes in we escape it.
As you say, I think although it’s vital we keep our fingers on the pulse of events, we need to find joy in simple things too.
I’m planning my next batch of mango Chutney and lemon marmalade, and planting out some mixed leaf crop with coriander. Heres hoping :-)
Not after females assumed all bonuses of maximizing their sexual strategy, while males reaped all negatives in every category of responsiblity without having authority. Not only god died, I’d mention to Nietzsche: Traditionalism, logic, fact and much more is done too.
Hypergamy + thot tools like tinder, bla bla… have finally put to death any point to relationships.
You will see single rates go up to 70-80% and birth rates go to 0 in the not so distant future.
Immigration will give a death blow to any kind of cohesion in Western societies.
The barbarian is at the gate, in the US he’s called civil war. In Europe this will be an inter ethnic war, look up the recent Chechen incident in Burgundy.
Kind the point of this site point out the obvious. It’s become almost impossible to make this point in any good think MSM rag. Go figure
Tyson B and Col..the farmer,
in answer to your posts in last café – this is the article I referred to :
https://www.globalresearch.ca/coronavirus-where-did-it-come-from/5707838
and from it the following relevant passage :
“….In a recent study focussing on the transmission of the virus, Larry Romanoff comes to the conclusion that the coronavirus could not have spontaneously “travelled” (“on its own”) from one country to the next infecting 85 countries in a matter of a few days starting in early February:
A natural virus hasn’t the ability to simultaneously infect 85 different countries on all continents of the world, with outbreaks in multiple locations in each country
More peculiar is that these countries were by no means all infected with the same variety of the virus, which means the simultaneous infections in these 85 countries were not from the same source. – and to do it without the vehicle of a seafood market full of bats and bananas….”
It becomes really clear if one looks at all the mutations. OK, we know that RNA virii mutate easily, but this picture is astounding. (Open Source site)
https://nextstrain.org/ncov/global
Thanks Amarynth,
sorry, the article I posted above was not written by a scientist as I thought ( though I still think it is quite compelling ). See my reply to Col below.
These are frightening times indeed.
Col the farmer,
the article you posted in the last café is from the same author – but with the additional terrible theory – that China was reseeded with the virus after recovery.
One thing I must point out is that I was wrong – he is not a scientist – his background is in business. He is also a visiting professor in Shanghai. This leaves him open to criticism / accusations of pro China bias.
Having said that, what he has set out in these articles makes sense to me – but I’m not qualified in this subject. It’s always better if these kind of articles are written by people with relevant credentials, like Didier Raoul or Prof Suchant Bhakdi – who have both been very critical of the response to covid.
Thanks Col.
Point taken Sandra
But as you well know there has been an enormous amount of misinformation put out there by people with “relevant credentials”. This can be for any number of reasons including parochialism, funding expediency, personal agendas and one-upmanship to name just a few.
Sometimes because the ‘science’ can be so utterly contradictory and confusing we sometimes have to step back a bit and use some good old-fashioned garden variety tools like common sense and intuition to really get to the bottom of these matters. Cui bono is always an important aspect…although in this instance it is more a case of who on earth would be dumb enough to think they would benefit…no prizes for guessing that one!
By the way, I am from Scotland too, albeit five generations ago…[only just lost my accent LOL] …thank goodness though I didn’t use your system to arrive at my commenter title…it would have been ColDUM…this doesn’t read that well…although I would hazard a guess that there are at least two cafe patrons that would like to see me make the change.
And why ColDUM..well the nearest town that my ancestors emigrated from was Dumfries and a YDNA test confirms that I descended from the Maxwells of Caerlaverock..so too Max Keiser the quirky RT staff member. I hasten to add though I am no relation whatsoever to the dodgy Robert Maxwell nor his daughter Ghislaine…he was actually born in Czechoslavakia…real name Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch!
And yes indeed I am with Tyson… you are both a gentlewoman and a scholar…I read and enjoy all your posts!
Very best regards
Col
Thanks sandinED for following up – youre a gentleman and a scholar!
Regards
Tyson,
you’re welcome, and thanks for posting so much good info here – I always look for your posts..
Gentlewoman actually – my name’s Sandra, my dad always called me Sand – I live in Edinburgh. Hence sandinED. The capital D was just a mistake :-)
oh sorry, I’d assumed Ed was short for Edward
Glad you get something out of my comments – we’re all helping each other in pulling the pieces together or as the saying goes: ‘one hand washes the other’
… and I’ve been to Edinburgh – loved the place!
Kind regards
Tyson Tyson,
don’t you know gender is just a patriarchal construct ? ( or something . …isn’t it ? )
.
I have to try to make a joke sometimes – or persistent misery may take hold of me – then refuse to let go.
“dont you know gender is just a patriarchal construct? (or something…isnt it?”
Good one!
Hahahaha
Cheers!
With dedication to ioan,
and of course, all the ‘fish in the sea’… you know who you are.
The Fish of the Sea
Some fish have scales
Of silver and gold,
That dazzle the eye
with charms untold.
Many’s the hour
I’ve watched from the lee,
Such are the fish
In the deep blue sea.
Some fish have fins
To help them swim
To carry them through
The waves at whim
Many’s the time
I’ve wanted to be
Down in the depths
With the fish of the sea.
Some fish have tails
To push them along,
They find their rhythm
And then their song;
Many’s the night
I’ve wanted to flee,
And follow the strains
Of the fish in the sea!
Some fish have wings
To carry them high,
Out of the water
And into the sky.
Many’s the day
I’ve been on the quay,
And seen for a moment
A fish of the sea!
O, the fish of the sea
Have a mind of their own,
From the time they’re born
To the time they’ve grown.
Many’s the time
I’ve set them free,
Back into the ocean
Where they’re meant to be…
Some fish have eyes
Of silver and gold,
That dazzle the heart
With charms untold;
Many’s the hour
I’ve wanted to be
Down in the depths
With the fish of the sea.
Wonderful Dimitar! This is so quintessentially ioan. Especially those fish with a ‘mind of their own’ :-).
Give me a fish with a mind of its own any day over a, well… mindless one, even though they’re a lot more ‘troublesome’…lol.
Dimitar, that’s wonderful. You get better, like an aged wine, as time passes :-)
For those interested, check out the initial sketch, and the resolution of all of the threads, presented. This poem is a wonderful example of the poetry writing process! It weaves at least three narratives seamlessly together into a cohesive, entertaining whole. Enjoy!
The Fish Of The Sea
Some fish have scales
Of silver and gold,
That blind the eye
And bewitch the soul.
Many’s the hour
I’ve watched from the lee,
Such are the fish
Of the deep blue sea.
Some fish have fins
To help them swim,
To carry them through
The waters at whim.
Many’s the time
I’ve wanted to be,
Down in the depths
With the fish of the sea.
Some fish have tails
To push them along,
Toward the melody
They hear so strong;
Many’s the night
I’ve wanted to flee
And follow the song
Of the fish of the sea!
Some fish have wings
To carry them high,
Out of the water
And into the sky.
Many’s the day
I’ve spent on the quay,
Trying to net
The fish of the sea.
O’ the fish of the sea
Have a mind of their own,
From the time they’re born
To the time they’re grown;
Many’s the time
I’ve set them free,
Back into the ocean
Where they’re meant to be.
Some fish have eyes
Of silver and gold,
That bewitch the heart
And blind the soul.
Many’s the while
I’ve laughed with glee…
Thinking I’d caught
A fish of the sea!
You brought me right back to that special day while snorkling, upside down – like flying – and there came a large flock of Barracudas exactly how you described it. Just as a week ago while walking in the forest in autumn winds, a sudden feint smell of sea provoking an overwhelming sensation of sea – the smell – with a desire stronger than anything to be there again.
At the first day snorkeling we suddenly saw a large tortoise, three four meters down, very slowly and very mute moving along, seemingly burdend with the weight of endless journeys and time, a being so old, so unimaginably pre historc enshrouded in deep mystery and some sort of sadness, it headed for the shore only some hundred yards off, though we never saw it again or heard anything about it (which should have created some attraction on the shore, because it was really big !)
What a vivid picture you’ve painted HDan. Thanks so much for sharing…
For those Peter Lavelle watchers…today…he has a cat!!!! See 9:00 to 10:00 min. The episode gets better after the break. Lavelle was the best contributor over all although one man makes the point about the difference between absentee ballot and a mail-in ballot used in this election which has no verification that the person has registered to vote at the address or is even alive. The democrat was good but turned out to be a party hack after all–AOC is ok in the Democratic Party but, oh no, not Tulsi Gabbard.
https://www.rt.com/shows/crosstalk/503343-election-voters-parties-democracy/
Well spotted – I didn’t see it. I’ve always liked Peter Lavelle. I warmed to him immediately for just being so genuine – and he always speaks sense. I just like him more and more as his animals make guest appearances.
I always say, all the best people are animal lovers.
The atmosphere in ions cafe is nostalgic. Though the faces do appear a bit preoccupied with their own thoughts, – no one is probably worried about being entrained or mind tapped, which as amaranth shared in last cafes something we really need to be pay attention to.
Voice to skull subliminal messaging is patented and we are being experimented on- a certain part of the population determined as ‘highly susceptible.”

Armenia-Azerbaijan part 2 Imran Hosein. for those who appreciate a different perspective on the question of why this war, why at this time how does it fit into the larger picture and to whose benefit is it?

http://siberiantimes.com/other/others/features/red-book-saker-falcon-wounded-by-poachers-gets-wings-extensions-so-it-can-fly-again/
“A team of Irkutsk Zoo Gallery vets created feather extensions of syringe needles and glue to reconstruct both wings of the traumatised bird.
The young saker falcon – to be sold to a rich buyer at the United Arab Emirates if not police intervention – was tied up with a rope so strongly that it lost most of the wing feathers, and would have died without urgent medical help.”
So sad to think people will do this to a magnificent wild animal. While empty headed rich freaks are willing to offer large amounts of money, there will always be people willing to do it. I hope they get the maximum jail sentence.
Also, can’t something be done about the clients creating the demand ? After all, no demand, no crime.
Great to see the birds saved.
Now the United Arab Emirates saker falcon will have a bird’s eye view of the Vineyard !
Anonymous,
yes ! We must hope so :-)
An article on Amnesty / Roger Waters / Syria – the title is self explanatory : ‘ How rock star Roger Waters was hung out to dry by Amnesty and Bellingcat for his views on Syrian ‘chemical attack ‘ :
https://www.rt.com/op-ed/503461-roger-waters-douma-syria/
Excerpt :
“…That the White Helmets are a Western construct disseminating propaganda to facilitate governments dropping bombs on people, as per Roger Waters’ phrase, was amply confirmed by the recent release of internal UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) files by hacktivist collective Anonymous…
…….Among other things, the documents expose a vast and extremely well-funded multi-year operation to produce propaganda targeted both at Syrians and Western populations, forging perceptions of a coherent, credible, moderate opposition to the government of Bashar Assad and extremist groups such as Islamic State alike, and to cultivate support for British-facilitated regime change …”
Sometimes I marvel at the blatant nature of the false narratives we are constantly fed. There was a film shown on the BBC the other day, ” Bellingcat. Truth in a Post Truth World “. Marvellous.
Has every so-called independent organisation been co opted to peddle official lines or are they just run by weaklings, protective of their salaries, who immediately yield to establishment pressure on request ?
I wonder if you watch UK Column sandinED?
Wed 14 Oct edition has Vanessa Beeley detailing her stoush with a BBC journalist. At the end she is basically saying ‘please do take me to Court…’ so that she (Beeley) can reveal the complicity of the UK in crimes against humanity.
I regard UK Column as an exceptional program from exceptional people. I also intend to follow the podcasts on common law which Alex Thompson is putting together with his other colleagues.
For Tuppence: the presenters described again the warnings of a German survivor, ten years ago, of the creeping powers of the state.
Just as I heeded the warnings of my 93 year old Dutch friend/survivor here: these people sniffed the familiar winds of war ten years ago.
When to speak out and when to stay silent is indeed a fine art
Babuska,
thanks. Yes I do like UK column and 21st Century Wire, where I found it. I haven’t watched that one yet – but I certainly will. Vanessa Beeley has reported from on the ground in Syria to 21stCW quite often. She unmasked the White Helmets very effectively, years ago. As a truth teller she is, of course terribly maligned.
She should wear the abuse as a badge of honour – I think she does.
Thanks for the recommendation. With so many sources to look at ( which is a good thing, I keep finding people worth reading ), I may have missed it. :-)
Babuska,
that whole show was really good – not just the Vanessa Beeley section. I must admit I haven’t watched UK column for a while. Thanks for reminding me.
One of Per/Norway’s recent posts about Fortnite caught me by surprise, particularly the fact that there were any Fortnite players here. What wasn’t surprising was the ‘wokeness’ of EA teaming up with the Anti-Defamation League.
In a similar light, in May 2019 there was controversy with a DLC (downloadable content) of the game A Hat in Time, where a painting resembling a transgender flag is depicted. On a kids’ game. Even if the depiction of a trans flag wasn’t intended, those who bought the game and took offense to it voiced their objections and demanded refunds. The comments were then blocked by the game’s Denmark-based developer. That alone was the deal-breaker for me.
Until 2016, Sony Computer Entertainment (the developers of the PlayStation console) had branches in Japan, the USA and Europe and managed releases of games for their consoles in these respective regions. Come 2016, SCE would rebrand itself as Sony Interactive Entertainment and move its headquarters from Tokyo to San Mateo, California. Since then, every new game would be judged and censored by Western standards even if said game were Japan-exclusive. As a result, the PS4 versions of new games would have censorship applied to them that is absent in the Nintendo Switch and PC versions.
There is apparently a wokeness among these Western game developers that seems to be absent in Japanese game devs, and this is why for now I am more looking forward to the remake of Super Mario 3D World and the sequel to Puyo Puyo Tetris. It’s also why I’ve been putting off purchasing the new Crash Bandicoot game for my PS4 (I’d be tempted to watch walkthroughs/cutscenes of it on YouTube, but then it’d ruin the surprise.)
For many of you, understandably, gaming may not be your cup of tea, so I wouldn’t be surprised if you haven’t heard of the above titles, let alone played them.
Good article by Engdahl, whom I respect: it is obvious that all of these blow ups, belyrus, amenia-azeri,kyrgezstan, are now occurring almost simultaneously and may be following a coordinated plan by “think” tank Rand. One can easily see the fat fingers of pompass and his zionist backers all over this. And of course, trump prob thinks it is good election strategy to threaten Russia and China simultaneously (sic).
(BTW, I posted a summary article over on non-msm column as to which of these war mongering shills is receiving the most loot from the pentagon-turns out that rand is at the top of the list-strange that but seems to be earning its share of the loot by advocating threats to Moscow on many levels).
http://www.williamengdahl.com/englishNEO13Oct2020.php
“RAND and the Malevolent Encirclement of Russia ”
From article:
The Turkish-backed attacks by Azerbaijan against Nagorno-Karabakh, igniting a territory after almost three decades of relative stalemate and ceasefire, the ongoing destabilization of Lukashenko in Belarus, the bizarre EU and UK behavior surrounding the alleged poisoning of Russian dissident Navalny and most recently, the mass protests in Kyrgyzstan, a former part of the Soviet Union in Central Asia, bear the fingerprints of the MI6 of Britain, the CIA and an array of regime-change private NGOs.
If we examine the growing pressures on Russia from the examples cited here and compare with the language of the 2019 RAND report it is clear that many of Russia’s current strategic problems are being deliberately engineered and orchestrated from the West, specifically from Washington and London. How Russia deals with this as well as certain future escalation of NATO pressures clearly presents a major geopolitical challenge.
————————————–
Also, not coincidentally, as cited by Col cassad, our friends from the belyrus episode, Institute for the Study of War, has a newly released “study” to advocate challenging Moscow’s so-called strategic plan of hybrid war:
http://www.understandingwar.org/report/russian-hybrid-warfare
Is this for real? Or a conspiracy theory. It’s very disturbing.

I saw that first video, the question in Parliament being answered by the Premier. I thought that the Premier’s reply was robotic, rapidly mouthing the terrifying words without engagement of heart, brain or guts. I suppose once the objectives are achieved, useful idjets like this will be disposed of, in the usual manner.
I lived 2.5 years in Toronto Canada in the 80’s and found it culturally frozen, everyone going through the motions of materialistic advancement.
I’m not at all surprised
“This leak from the inner circles of the Canadian government confirms all of our worst fears. They plan to use the COVID hoax as a pretext to destroy the economy and put everyone in the world under lockdown unless they accept the vaccine.
They want to confiscate all of our property in exchange for a guaranteed income. And yes, they have a stronger virus planned.“
The above is the introduction to article on Henry Makow’s website 14 October
Most Canadians, as of yesterday’s figures, are $200 dollars away from insolvency. If someone, government, wants to confiscate anyone’s property, they’d be taking it from the Bank, few Canadians own their homes outright. Even me (for a reason), but without the bank having a stake, it’s difficult to leaverege money, so one plays the game. And game it is!
For those Canadians, not in the know, it’s to pity, for unknown to them, everything in Canada, people, money, resources, land, lock, stock and barrel, belongs to the Queen of England, not the people, or the nation of Great Britton, but toThe Queen, her family, and heirs. So it’s nice she lets us use all that stuff on her benevolent behalf. Wrap one’s head around that.
They can’t use covid to destroy the economy, it, the economy, was non existant before the virus. Sheep buying nessesities with a few baubles thrown in. Stock exchanges are mainly between businesses, buyouts, buybacks, the ‘market’, western economy died in ’08……..everything from there out is a cash crash landing with war as a marker on the table……….lucky us.
I do like Henry, I remember when he ran afoul of the SJW crowd at the university here, before SJW’s were in fashion. But sometimes it’s almost, and not just him, but the entire ‘chipped, locked down masses’ stuff is bordering on fear mongering. From many writers atm it’s almost panic for the sake of panic. Just my take.
Cheers, M
I think sean, if a premier is saying it, then there’s that stuff happening for real
Like our PM at the time Gillard pronouncing about her vision for Australia, without ever articulating that vision, all the while Australian production centres closing and moving off-shore.
Canada and Australia have always been England’s bastard children. Having lived in Toronto, my intuition /experience then told me that regular Aussies were more brazen in your face dissenters than regular Canadians. I saw a very big division of Jewish people in the Toronto establishment with a huge Chinese population. This was long before Australia had a significant Chinese presence.
Being children in immigrant families, like Henry, I fell for the demands placed by the English establishment – we chose the path of ‘respectability’ and ended up paying a hefty price.
Being Irish, you always knew it was what it is. The school of hard knocks comes to us all at some stage. So I’ve survived and learned. Much later in life than you.
Now, to use a well-worn cliche, I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees.
I always enjoy your salt of the earth commentary sean
Stay well and strong
Or it could be a correct conspiracy theory.

Co-creating a new and better normal
The beauty of the vision articulated by these sincerely dedicated professionals moved me to tears
Great video. This deserves to ” go viral “. ( I suspect videos are either promoted to or at least allowed to go viral, while others are prevented ).
I do wonder why so many medical professionals have gone along with these anti covid measures, which they have to know are doing terrible harm. People’s lives and livelihoods are being ruined.
I really do hope this video gets widely shared and brings some hope that this madness can be stopped.
Thanks Babushka.
I’m so glad these positively radiant people have given you some glimmer of hope sandinED; honestly I felt goosebumps with each person’s words. When the Dutch psychologist stood up and spoke the words about every child being a miracle, I just wept.
Most people in our society have lost touch with the super powers with which they entered this world.
I now have these discussions with my ten year old granddaughter, who looks at the super power entities peddled by the usual suspects. I tell no, she has all her own.
It is, of course, a journey for her, as it is for each and every child that is born…
“We are not afraid” is the acu mantra. I stand with them and give them and others, like Reiner Fuellmich and of course, Craig and Julian and Vanessa Beeley my full support.
Thank YOU for the great feedback. Hopefully other readers will be inspired
A Little Too Much
He was raising sand
A little too much,
Always ran with
The wildest crew.
A demon at the wheel,
Hell at the clutch;
How I hate
To bid him adieu.
He ived on the edge
A little too much.
He always held
Everything inside.
A little too sensitive
To the touch;
They said he took
The corner wide.
He was tempting fate
A little too much;
How I’d pray to the stars
And heaven above!
It’s just as well,
It woulda been hell,
But I cry all the same
When I think of his love.
Two streams come to mind today. It is hard to see the IMF handing out austerity loans to country after country, and thereafter the specific country calls for a 2nd or more rounds of lockdowns. I’ve been watching this – actually been watching 3 countries and then Alan MacLeod for Mintpressnews, obviously also watching this, tells us that it is something like 81 countries and multiple loans.
https://www.mintpressnews.com/imf-seizes-on-covid-crisis-to-pave-way-for-privatization-in-81-countries/271917/
So if your country calls new lockdowns, watch if they received IMF or World Bank loans – that is your signal – austerity and privatisation is coming and your .gov and the rest of the criminals will suck the living blood out of you. Plant garden, arrange for farmer to household direct food, and protect yourself, spiritually, emotionally and physically.
Here is a very short piece on the saker.community on The Great Reset, but the pics speak volumes about the plan being rolled out.
https://saker.community/2020/10/14/the-great-reset/
In the US election cycle, they threw another one to the crowds like proverbial Christian to the Lions, to keep the bloodlust perfectly simmering. Biden’s son this time, but what nobody asks or even looks at, is who else? Where is Cookies Nuland? (I am not in any way saying that Biden’s son is innocent of wrongdoing and that he need not be thrown to the lions, I’m commenting on the cyclical nature and the mesmerizing of this whole country with these kinds of events as political fodder while nobody speaks about the actual Maidan and the state sponsored corruption in the Ukraine).
But, this keeps us entertained and we don’t look at what is happening anywhere else. Bolivia has new elections on Sunday, and there is a fight on that one cannot believe. The MAS party against the ruling coup party. It is an all out killing, maiming and warlike fight, against those that steal Bolivia’s riches for the likes of Elon Musk. Think a moment about those people, that are fighting to the last drop of blood, just to stay human. The alternative is to rejoice in the screwings and cocaine doings of the ‘little dirty dog’ Bidens of the world.
Don’t lose the plot folks.
I have no doubt that we will be entertained soon calling this Biden Boy part of the plan that is to be trusted. Trust nothing.
This all against the backdrop of Russia saying NYET. You’ve all read Lavrov’s speech and specifically the Questions and Answers. Russia is reaching the end of her patience for this western crappy nonsense. So now, as a follow up to that, Russia has left the pointless six year MH17 investigation. https://www.rt.com/russia/503535-mh17-russia-netherlands-australia/
and the word is out, there is no hope for the New START weapons treaty that expires in February, at which time the evil in our world will with impunity continue building the most extreme weapons that could turn our world into sand and glass.
I have not seen the world in such a state in all my life, and I grew up with geopolitics, from sitting on the steps of the verandah with my grand-father most early evenings, while he listened to the world news on the radio, and commented continually and the many lazy Sunday mornings lying on my belly on the family room rug with my dad, with two notable newspapers and discussing these things with my dad. We did not grow up with television (thank heavens for a narrow religion that called it the one-eyed monster and they were right) but I grew up in politics and geo-politics and it is a mess but not yet outright war, yet, it is different kind of war where people are killed with sanctions.
—————-
And now, to get to what is actually on my agenda – in this cafe, where ioan’s whimsical pencil drawing set the tone.
So, let me pay homage and respects to two good people.
The first person is ioan. I’ve seen a bunch of his art, and some I have in high quality pdf’s – even some photos of other places and other homes where his art is on the walls and I’ve been lucky enough to be the recipient of good quality photography, showing it framed and in place. I love ioan’s art and my favorite is the old woman sitting on a bench in the square – the blues win me over – and I know where it is hanging and what it looks like, and sometimes I dream about it and become the woman on the bench.
In the style of his pencil sketch here there is a collection of 12 drawings of horses, various, horses drawing carts or with riders – same whimsical style and representing an older era. So, we had some of this art in the community site for sale and had some interest, and in each case it was a damn dirty art scammer. I was sickened and ioan rightly withdrew his art. Soon after that. he put away his brushes, paints and art equipment and to today, I still get the feeling that the experience with the scammers had something to do with that. I never asked him, because I don’t think I can deal with it if he says yes, it did have something to do with the art scammers. And this is a good person and nobody deserved to have to deal with this junk.
This year we will not get a wonderful Orthodox Calendar from ioan, because he has physical challenges, and he put away his art equipment.
Why do I tell this story now? So that those that complain that the saker.community site insists on registrations and logins and security, must just please eat my shorts or go and take a good dive through a rolling donut. If you are not prepared to do your part for security (because we still sell books there) kindly stay away. If you are prepared to do your part and want to discuss issues that are ruled out on the Saker Blog, you are welcome.
That little site was designed to take overflow, outside of the warlike environment in our world described in the first part of this post, but not trolls.
(Strange that the only time when this issue arises, is when they complain they cannot talk Qult here in this Cafe and use the opportunity for a complaint to drop a few memes as well. Never had a complaint that we cannot talk Climate issues – that shows you the duplicity from these recruiters and as usual, it is truly not everybody – just a very very few – but I am now pointing this out to you. I feel about them the same as what I feel about the art scammers.)
The second person (not in importance, just someone has to be second), is Kevin Henderson – a friend of our Falcon and of me as well. I remember so clearly the evening when his music was sent to me. I was tired and thought to put this ‘chore’ off to another time, but thought to listen a bit first and became just energized. I was astounded, charmed and almost breathless, immediately getting into the music and not able to wait for the next notes — saying, what is this, what is he playing, how come this makes me think of all the music in the world, how did he do this? Kevin himself says that this was a period when he couldn’t get anyone to understand what he was doing.
Kevin’s album had the effect on me, same as when my friend, possibly one of the best Vedic classical drummers in the west, drums for me. It has something to do with what is called Kundalini and I feel it in my bones.
So this older album of Kevin is still in the community site for download. It is called Watch Your Head, a solo masterpiece. Watch Your Head because it will blow you away. I still receive bits and pieces of music from Kevin and each time I count myself so lucky. The Saker, also a musician says: “… what you get is a sense of the amazing emotional palette of an extremely talented artist.”
I am the lucky recipient of a new Rock Pic, that I received from Kevin. He looks so very serious and so very ‘rocker’! Its funny, I happen to know Bon Jovi’s tour manager or director, whatever he calls himself and don’t like him too much but he is always perfectly ‘rocker dressed’. He so much looks the part but it always feels like a little bit of pretense. I was tempted to send him Kevin’s Rock Pic and say: “Try the real thing!” lol, but that’s nasty thoughts.
And that is my story for today. We’re racheting up tensions in the world and have to personally guard our defenses on many many levels and layers. Don’t lose the plot folks.
The art world has been subverted. For anyone who has talent, but is not of the chosen, you get to flip burgers or pull coffees. Whereas if you are a chosen you can squat, shit, or if of the femme fold, bleed all over the canvas and have it hang in the National Gallery……………say what one wants about Miles M, who can actually paint and draw, and one learns quickly where the real talent, like ioan’s, gets scammed…….or banned.
Cheers, M
Precisely M
On that IMF piece from Mint Press News, I just saw CAF’s comment:
“The mother of all debt entrapments is working. Here comes Blackrock and the private equity firms and hedge funds with free money printed by QEing central bankers.”
Interesting read, your early family memories and connections to politics. Now we have to begin to feel the world family, and for that to start the hard journey of objective, self scrutiny, a path that cannot be avoided for those striving to live in truth. Re ioan, don’t forget the fantastic fun in the earlier poems, and humor and metaphor also in many other ways, and how this enables someone to use satire effectively, and finally, his clearly stated experiences of the Cafe as it has become over time.
“Cookies Nuland”?
Yes, Amarynth I have always had a pet theory that this creature would re-emerge as SOS the instant the Dimos got their foot back in the door of the big old house.
Sad to say she certainly has form being a foaming at the mouth neocon nutcase and having worked with Sleepy Joe under Obomber…what more could they ask for…oh come to think of it being a compulsive liar is yet another incentive.
One positive thing… perhaps…could she be any worse than the current dangerous imbecile.

Mundo’s selfcomment on Thursday. While last night (UTC) was the second case of being ‘non-commited’ to Sakers Cafe, in my reflection firstly appearing: what did you wrong? Or did something change? Such didn’t happen since 2014. But anyway, always we, when unconsciously being inserted by the archetypal self, use to have a verisimilitude for acting including me. Maybe a blind spot in one’s ‘eye’ has escaped one’s consciousness.
What has to be said, quite apart from mundo, JUNG and any Jungian ( me included) hold for, that the archetypes always contain the whole characteristic spectrum between angel and devil. Each one has his/her range within the 360 degrees of light and shadow.
My focus is on the possibility of the ‘easy way. Hence I don’t believe, there is any other ‘conscious’ idea in God than their succeeding. Wishing that for any creature in Nature, hence my astrology, faces the contradictions in the zodiac by preferring to read them contradictions as natural tasks to overcome the nonconstructive aspect by striving for an artful union of unique meaning in its eternal environment, of what is programmed by the spirit of God to mix with another.
After loosing the holy unconsciousness of the animals and natural people we humans have been waxing in the unholy consciousness, loosing more and more all leading by our ‘naturaliter religiosa’ called soul, into which God placed the ‘compass’ with the axis in his spot in our heart.
So yes, this is a week full of contradictions: three oppositions, two squares, one big conjunction …and the idiot (in us) only realizes strive, the dreamer(in us) unites but but might fail in personal passion, but the thinker (in us) at last has the spirit of love to unite the contradicting colors in a ‘win-win’- form and a joy for the watching God (in us).
Well, this is it , this ominous 42. week, brimming with contradictions.
https://astromundanediary.blogspot.com/2020/10/faithfulness-and-miracles-reloaded.html
mundanomaniac, confusion reigns, contradictions abound, folks do funny things. That is the only thing that changed. I had two such experiences just lately .. strange, confusing – these days sometimes there is no reason for things. We just have to deal with anomalies which are frequently not synchronicities, excepting perhaps in our analysis of them. Not very Jungian, but still – layers of stress abound and sometimes we end up in such a stress eddy just because there is so much of it. Give yourself a break lol.
correction: first line: meant was ‘non-admitted’
Yes, I got that, but from a technical perspective it would be ‘non-committed’, which would indicate gremlins in the system, a dead thing, and not an interruption in the force, a brilliantly alive milieu. Big big difference.
indicate ” gremlins in the system, a dead thing, and not an interruption in the force, a brilliantly alive milieu. Big big”
this sounds like old Chinese oracle. Thank you for this ‘brilliantly alive milieu”.
Cheers mundo
Dispatch from the belly of the technofascist beast:
A friend of mine who is instructing me blithely trotted off to the local big box store to buy ammunition and he was told that he could only buy one box of shells for a gun which had to be registered within the last year plus the sale( both guns and ammo) had to be registered with an I.D. check. He was shocked but has his alternate sources which I will not mention at all ever. Perhaps that is because supplies are limited but I think not—it is the control mechanism of Kontrol Mechanism. And, of course, Antifa will be well armed with unregistered guns. ( not doing duck hunting) and no questions asked.
Find ways to buy food under the radar or to grow it–every small town should have a huge municipal community garden and placed not under an EMF tower like the one where I live. I planted a pomegranate there 6 years ago and it makes wonderfully big fruit pod that duly reddens and cracks open but the seeds are only pinkish with no flavor. Food Kontrol will be next–maybe via electronic (ration)food cards and it probably will not be real food.
Anyway, we are going “duck hunting” to fire off a few rounds in an unincorporated farmland area and then to leave quickly before someone reports us.
This is Life in this insane semi-lockdown maybe new normal!!!! The old folks have got to go!!! We have too many institutional memories for the likes of the new Kontrol Kompany Kommunity of Bael Gates el alia
Very good Crosstalk from 7th October with guests Michael Hudson and Steve Keen:
https://www.rt.com/shows/crosstalk/502697-presidential-election-2020-permanent-inequality/
It exposes the myths peddled by economist and politicians, Some of the points made :
The new normal since 2008 is wealth to the 1%, debt service and debt deflation for the rest.
QE to boost asset prices – stocks, bonds, real estate which benefits 1% the rest get only minimal trickle down..
Economic models leave banks, debt and money out – so useless.
Central banks take over economy, ignore the real economy leading to socialism for the rich.
Banks don’t invest in the real economy, but existing assets. push up stock prices/ dividends / real estate prices and seek foreclosures – leading to de industrialisation.
The parasite ( financial sector ) has taken over the host’s ( real economy ) brain and convinced it that the parasite must be looked after first, i.e. feeding a parasite and asking it to share with the host.
Obama peddled the myth that $1 to banks would be multiplied to $8-10 in the economy – the opposite of the truth – a tiny fractional trickle down.
Obama knew – he invited the bankers to the Whitehouse saying he was the only thing between them and the mob with the pitchforks. He delivered his voters to his campaign contributors – the real job of a politician.
Peter Lavelle finishes by saying we’re heading for serfdom.
You can’t taper a Ponzi scheme. This is where covid 19 is indispensable. They couldn’t have gotten away with a repeat of 2008. Covid is the pretext for eye watering amounts of money given to the 1% again. It has led to a frightening removal of rights and threats of military on the streets. In France you can be fined on the spot for being outside your house after 9pm. Tougher measures are constantly threatened. Dissenters are demonized ( soon criminalized ? ) The police state is all but here. Many people not only comply, but ask for more, such is the success of the fear campaign..
Governments are supposed to protect the people from rentier predators and monopolies – no more. There has been a corporate coup d’état.. ‘ Fair Trade ‘ deals lead to ISDN Investor State Dispute Settlement cases where governments are sued for trying to protect their rivers/ environment or for trying to raise the minimum wage. Corporate lawyers preside. With all the chuntering on about human rights and democracy – what a sick joke it is..

Absolutely great link!…two modern-day heroes in the field of economics and MMP and the added bonus of being interviewed by such a thoughtful and enlightened historian.
My take homes…
#1 The wonderful quote…”giving food to the parasite and saying, please share this with the host”….doesn’t this absolutely define MMP, how far the west has strayed from sustainable capitalist working model and of course highlights the neofeudal/banskster model that has evolved. Even helicopter money dropped on Mainstreet gives 7-10x the positive ecomonic effect compared to handing it out on a plate to Banksters.
#2 How farcical it is that Trump crows about the stock market being driven up and has the absolute cheek to take full credit for it when it is the FED that has manipulated this by completely destroying the market forces that once led to some semblance of sanity in the indexes.
#3 The financial sector is not part of the real economy…it grows by purely mathematical laws…the amount of debt grows much faster than the economy…money creation in its present form is not productive…80% is for real estate loans and most of the remainder is for stocks and bonds…there is minimal lending for industrial capital formation simply because of the money-making time frame.
#4 The system that has evolved is an extremely abhorrent form of inverse socialism that Trump is too moronic to even understand, let alone challenge. Biden enthusiastically supports this farce because he is so up to his eyeballs in the feeding frenzy which the system promotes that even if he could grasp [fat chance] what was happening to his country, why the hell would he change anything!
#5 Both Keen and Hudson are heroes in that they have the courage to point out these extremely uncomfortable home truths. But the fact remains they too are intimidated into mentioning the root cause of all this monetary mayhem [Da FED]…can’t say I blame them…after all who the hell wants to be JFK’d!
#6 Until the private banskter owned FED model is completely dismembered [hopefully in a macabre Khashoggi style way] the US will continue to degenerate into social and financial chaos.
My prediction from afar…both POTUS candidates have their obnoxious snouts in the same trough…neither will lift so much as a finger to change this ludicrously destructive current status quo.
Cheers from the south seas

Big FWIW: The least important election in history-we are screwed either way!
https://www.dollarcollapse.com/least-important-election/
Somewhat unusual but possibly accurate assessment of this election, on the system, and what will change and what will not change.
For my own perspective, I have been looking for ways to avoid the feelings of helpless and hopeless rage, to reduce the bile coming up after reading reports, etc.
I “may” have found a way towards distraction by making an informal list of the plusses and minuses of either side “winning.” Impossible to find any pluses with either side.
For the dimo’s, the minuses:
-complete mystery as to what the hell the dimos are up to with the team of a senile crook locked up in his basement, a vp who has obviously no competence or presence; do the dimos even care, they believe they have this system locked up, regardless who the hell is sitting in the oval, he or she has no power or authority. The “system” will be managed from behind the curtain by the big money, who is, as we speak, rewarding itself with additional unaccountable billions.
-the press will clearly reward the country with continuing quotes from congenital liar susan rice in some position, nuland or he husband kagan, samantha power and her R2P insanity, the flaming a____ mc fowl (sic), and on and on with the vast slate of neo cons/zionists. Hell, maybe hillary may even find a slot as she reportedly is now writing for foreign affairs with orientation to becoming sec def (ugh).
-Big pharma will continue to win hugely, look at the payoffs to the obumers.
-prob not any improvement on current insane policies of threats/sanctions toward russia, china, Iran, and groveling to israel; maybe some change toward china from biden/dimo past “associations.”
-filibuster rule overturned, supreme court packed;
-enough minuses: just look at the super pac’s for the huge money, the slate of “Transition,’ the zios will be crawling all over themselves, the MIC will be ecstatic (no change here with either side “win,’ the embedded obumer holdovers, of which there are many in govt depts, will survive and prosper.
The repugs:
-minuses:
– current all talk no action on domestic front continues in spades;
-continuing approach of threats, sanctions to china, rusisa, iran,groveling to israel;
-massive financial conflicts of interest continue and expand, what the hell, no consequences;
-possible continuing presence of grifter kusher, pompass; (pompass may go off and prepare for his planned 2024 pres campaign, with support from odious zionists in FDD, et al
-the repug swamp in the senate may continue if trump “wins,’ otherwise, see above, dimo changes on filabuster, packing supreme court, etc.
-no change from the bluster, incompetence, corruption, grifting;
-no improvement in swamp appointees in doj, cia, fbi, neo con/zionists, pro-israel extremists, embedded in state, defense, treasury;
Well, that is enough for me for now, Trying to keep the level of bile, stress down to manageable levels at the unbelievable cess pool this country has become, internationally and domestically. It is not “fun” just to survive in a hopeless environment!
Again, a big FWIW!
I find myself stumbling into more and more ‘conspiracy theories” as the issues progress but this article from, yes again, zero hedge, should cause a fair amount of alarm, not necessarily about the election outcome because, as noted above, we are all screwed, whatever the outcome.
I hate being backed into the corner again about the lesser of two evils but a biden “win” will invarable contribute to more chaos, more interventions, more authoritarian violence (if possible) than what we have now.
Here is the link from zero:
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/election-war-games-new-america-waits-wings-after-pre-planned-chaos
I do not much about the blog site or the author but I do follow whitney webb, who i believe offers fairly valuable insight and analysis-she is quoted extensively in linked article from zero and has analyzed the TIP fairly extensively.
Her article:
https://unlimitedhangout.com/2020/09/investigative-reports/bipartisan-washington-insiders-reveal-their-plan-for-chaos-if-trump-wins-the-election/
(an excellent detailed summary but long-well worth the read if one has the time)
A list of key players in TIP seems ominous enough but one stands out for me: Wilkerson, who i had believed had a reasonably decent perspective on interventions for regime change and permanent war mongering, altho he was powell’s chief of staff in bush II neo con dominated admin.
i was surprised that TIP published details of its war games but wilkerson quickly disabuses one that we know what the planning entails:
In an interview in late June with journalist Paul Jay, Wilkerson notes that the TIP lacks transparency and that, aside from their “war games,” their other activities are largely confidential.
He specifically stated that:
“There is some confidentiality about what we agreed to, and what we’ve put out publicly, and who’s responsible for that, and other aspects of our doing that. The Transition Integrity Project is to this point very, very close, whole, and confidential.”
In that same interview, Wilkerson also noted that the current “combination of events” involving the recent unrest in several U.S. cities, the coronavirus crisis, the national debate over the future of policing, the economic recession and the 2020 election was the foundation for a revolution in the U.S. He told Jay that:
“I want to say this is how things like 1917 and Russia, like 1979 and Tehran, and like 1789 in France. This is how these sorts of things get started. So we’ve got to be very careful about how we deal with these things. And that worries me because we don’t have a very careful individual in the White House.”
My comment:
To state the obvious, it seems that I revolution is in the offing-I would note that large numbers are not necessarily required for a successful revolution, a key cadre of jewish bolsheviks was successful in russia in 1917 and Castro was successful in Cuba with a relatively small cadre of key players. (Simplified of course but the main point is valid).
Taras,
” ….The Schmidt-led NSCAI and other bodies determining the country’s AI policy plan to implement a series of policies that will be deeply resisted by most Americans – from the elimination of individual car ownership to the elimination of cash as well as the imposition of an Orwellian surveillance system, among other things.
All of these agendas have advanced under the guise of combatting coronavirus…”
We have to waken up from this because the use of the virus as pretext for everything can be applied endlessly – it’s a new wave ..hospitals will be overwhelmed… it’s coming back and it’s your fault for not hibernating – so new powers for police…, .here’s another wave,.. and the most chilling this is the new normal.
I agree with your comment – I made a similar one about the French revolution in a previous café.
Thanks for the links :-)

Thanks for Heroes Sean- it was one we played on the car radio when I’d be driving the kids to and from ….
This is another; we played it loud and sang along in an era without internet… it holds very special memories for me because in Brisbane where we lived at the time, in November the magnificent jacarandas are in full bloom-and at every turn in the road, or along the river, the stunning display of lyrical blue against the sky would just about take my breath away. We were young, healthy and full of hopes and dreams that all would be well

Babuska, thank you. I remember the first time I saw Slash straddle the Grand Piano and pull of that most amazing riff, the hair on my neck stood up. Classic song. My wife and I danced to Patience at our wedding…………….so I’ll leave you with this remake from Chris Cornell, no one other than Linda Ronstadt can remake and own a tune like Chris. Tragic loss…………such is life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myZ32Pf-5PE
Cheers, M
Not sure if you are familiar with Chris Cornell. But since the Cafe coversations have touched on ‘mental health’ issues and their sad, sometimes untimely culmination I do recommened him to anyone looking to understand the emotion and turmoil some, if not most people endure throughout their life. He just, thank God, put it in words and music (a comfortable haven for me to escape to, now a tinged with sadness)……….I found Chris through Audio Slave but he also has amazing stuff with his origional band Sound Garden. And, on that note, a few more words of his wisdom, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WC5FdFlUcl0 ‘just be yourself, it’s all that you can do’.
Babuska,
Axel Rose’s parents, not sure they are still alive or not, but they live(d) about one mile from my home in West Lafayette, Indiana. When Gun’s N Roses were hot I was well into my 40’s with a teenage son. Jeff Isbell aka Izzy Stradlin was also from our area. After Izzy and Axel had the falling out, Izzy, (Jeff Isbell) moved back here (90’s) and bought an old 19th century brick home on acreage east of Lafayette Indiana across the Wabash Valley from me. Neighbors spoke of wild auto gunfire erupting from that property. Being a combat vet, “wild auto gunfire” kinda made me smile knowing of those folks. I didn’t know Izzy but he needed some master carpenter work to remove and replace a large entry door and sidelights and someone recommended me. I met with him and we hit it off and I was hired. I found him to be a very composed, sober, fit, and gracious man. He had married a Scandinavian woman, QUITE attractive, that kept him such. She was international model in looks and stature but had calloused hands from working a local organic farm. Izzy had a complete audio studio on the second floor and invited my son and I up to see it. Not what I expected. Total Satanic. All black. Real human skull with candle inside. WTF. I had meals with them and heard of the wild trips GNR had around the world with suitcases full of cash. The doormat in the entry where I replaced the door complex was from an Asia trip and it depicted an AK-47 surrounded by what looked to be Roses. Perfect. Izzy eventually moved to LA and was writing songs and started another band. I have no idea where he is now. He made a good impression on me and my son.
As far as GNR, I liked their song “Sweet Child of Mine”. Bands like theirs were “candles in the wind”. Blind Melon was also from around here. Shannon Hoon was their troubled lead and he overdosed in New Orleans on a comeback tour and is buried in a quiet cemetery SE of Lafayette about a good arrow shot from a good friends mini ranch.
Thanks for spurring my memory. “November Rains”………my first month in Nam…..

Thanks for sharing your wonderful stories, Babuška and Steve.
Forgot you, sean the leprechaun, as well.
Yes a big Thank You to you all, for generously sharing the music, personal experiences and memories: they not only make us who we are, but the sharing generates ongoing consolations inspirations and God only knows what else :-)
Last I heard of Izzy he was hanging and playing with Keef in the Expensive Winos.

…play with fire, you play with me…
The wretched mock the mourning
Like piranhas they attack
And whose victims now are mourned
Through thousands of small attacks
Persistant, insistant, nearly traceless assaults of
Collectivist tiny invisible hacks on those that refused their ilk
Of life devolved into a wretched existence that they must conceal
Too corrupt to realize the difference between that which is sacrosanct
And that which is their fraudulent sanctimony
Which are atrocious crimes against humanity
That are undeserving of respect, forgiveness, mercy, or kindness, and certainly not gratitude!
Spare us the platitudes!
What a pity for the world that they exist while we mourn the loss of their victims!

Jeez, I hope this was not a scam (sarc)! This is the wonder drug that trump touted as bringing him back from the hospital. Many “experts” questioned why this relatively untested drug was given to trump. Now I’m wondering if the kushners had a stake in this drug.
More scientific fraud by those who pretend to care while profiteering off of what they know already results in cellular damage! On the sly, 135 scientists and physicians say that they need to Study the effects of 5G! No, you really do not need to study something that you know to be harmful! You are evil frauds and Nazi Psychos!
You really need to insist as scientists and physicuans that 5G be stopped, rather than profiteering off of it like evil, sadistoc, Nazi, junk science,psychopaths!

Many years ago in Australia I was telling people that the world is not giving us any Mozarts et al because kids like him are being medicated and sidelined by modern medicine.
Needless to say, I was in turn smeared and shunned…
This video is an interview with a woman who tells an amazing story. I only know her through this interview, but grew up with displaced European people who got sent to Australia after the war.
The story of weaponised medicine that she describes, pretty much parallels everything I experienced…
Well do I remember drugs such as Librium and Serepax and Valium etc and the effects they and the prescribing psychiatrists had on their victims err patients.
We were indeed, a fourth rate culture ruled over by ruthless, smiling, silver-tongued psychopaths.
I’ll never forget Dr (psychology) Carmen Lawrence legislating for the police to intervene when psychiatric patients went out of control.
I guess I’ve been lucky, like the lady in the video, that I eventually became able to trust my instincts and seek out the good people in a mindless, dumbed down society.
So now more than ever, we do need to search each other out and stand against the sadistic evil that is coming at us.
This interview is an inspiring story of survival and striving for excellence in the face of being totally cut off from ‘the known world’ and all opposition.
I’ve not yet seen Part two but will look out for it.
Very good discussion on Assange with Roger Waters, Ray McGovern and John Pilger :
https://consortiumnews.com/2020/10/15/watch-the-trial-of-julian-assange-with-roger-waters-john-pilger-ray-mcgovern/
Pilger describes propaganda as universal, how journalism is being made a crime and that we’re living in a lawless era.
Ray McGovern talks of the process against Assange being made as brutal as possible as an example / deterrent to other journalists.
Roger Waters is the star. He’s funny and angry and entertaining. Some of his profound lyrics, ( some written when a young man ), are repeated here. He credits his mother with giving him the best advice – ( which was roughly ) to look at all sides / get the evidence then do the right thing. I love him.
It’s a good watch if time permits.
Excellent! One can feel the rage expressed from this very eloquent set of people.
But they did kick over my last piece of hope against hope and are expecting Assange to stay in jail for some kind of appeal. OK; we keep praying and hoping.
Amarynth,
I too had allowed hopes to rise after some of the evidence was allowed towards the end – albeit in precis form. On reflection though, the fact that it was quickly read into record in a truncated form, and the fact that the mainstream can be relied upon to not mention it, I think Baraitser will conclude that it’s been sufficiently circumscribed so she can ignore it ( notwithstanding the great efforts of Gosztola and Murray ). As Waters said, the MSM has overwhelmingly larger reach that the truth tellers.
Also, she’s quite capable of finding a pretext to simply find it inadmissible. Murray also believes Assange will lose – but has some expectation that he will win on appeal. The trouble with that is he’s still in a torture chamber.
I hope we’re all wrong and Baraitser surprises us by doing the right thing. I was going to say stranger things have happened – but have they ?
Amarynth, you’re working very hard. Have a break / listen to this beautiful song with equally beautiful lyrics :
https://youtu.be/kFn8x4TnzKY
It always brings a lump to my throat. It’s a soothing respite from all the cares of the world.
Forgot to say – it’s pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here.
Thanks so much for the lovely kindness. Yes, I’m burning the candle at two ends at the moment. But only for another few hours it is fingers on keyboard and then clearly … It will be Music Time :-)

THE GREAT YOUTUBE PURGE OF 2020
Your subscriber list might be looking a little thin after this morning.
The Great YouTube Purge of 2020 is upon us, the worst purge of truth content the platform has ever commenced upon it’s users, a digital book burning of the ages. Any channel that shared too much hardcore, relevant conspiracy truth or dare utter the slightest whisper of
***One Letter Here Between Asterisks Censored for our overworked Censor***** Anon
support has vanished. Dozens of channels gone within hours.
(Sather Says: Here is the email YouTube sent me this morning: (Form email letter they ALL got)
As you can see, no specific video or content is referenced as breaking the rules, only a vague excuse as to why I allegedly violated their “Guidelines”. This is how Big Tech usually operates when removing content, trying to tiptoe around any liability.
This has now been my THIRD suspension with this YouTube channel, the other two being in 2018 that I resurrected from both times. THREE terminations now in total. And this one comes only two weeks after losing my 200,000 follower Twitter account.
Been a rough October.
Here’s an incomplete but substantial list of channels that were terminated this morning:
Destroying the Illusion
Red Pill 78
Joe M
IPOT
Praying Medic
X22 Report
SGT Report
Edge of Wonder
Space Shot 76
Woke Societies
Amazing Polly
Truth and Art TV
Patriots Soapbox
Dustin Nemos
And We Know
Stroppy Me
Just Informed Talk
Sarah Westall
TruReporting
We must remain active in creating account on new platforms and sharing content, especially those from this list who will have to resort to backup channels, alternative accounts, or posting directly to their own website. Bookmark all the pages of all of your favorites and find their new accounts! We are all in this together!”

Hi there all
I’ve read many of your comments here today and if I may offer any solace at all:
• lets all acknowledge that, yes, it is a difficult time we’re all going through
• this is not a time to despair (& allow our own vibration/frequency to diminish)
• understanding whats going on makes a world of difference – in the very least we can defend ourselves – and our loved ones – as we can identify what the next threats to our human dignity will be (referring to domestic enemies of the people)
• in life, all things of *lasting value require time (and effort)
• we are witnessing a tremendous turning point in world history – in which the world will be radically different geopolitically from what we’ve known most of the last 250 years (give yourself a great big pat on the back for being here!)
• there is a Community of Common Destiny for Humankind emerging – the trick is *not to get sucked into thinking Russia-China (who are defending themselves against existential threats) are the same as the Western so-called ‘liberal democracies’ (the pathetic caricature of democracy that they are!)
• I have shared with Cafe’istas before, that the nation-state of Russia will not just survive – but prevail (that due to two personal experiences in 1978 & 1991 – which I didn’t understand at the time (without going into the detail, for those of you who are people of faith – think of private revelations). These happened long before I knew of Fatima’s 1917 private revelation (which is often misunderstood by Orthodox Christians – and given the Vatican’s scumbaggery down thru the centuries, understandably so)
• If feeling stressed/anxious its extremely helpful to remember to do our deep breathing (aka yogic breathing) – which develops the Relaxation Response which is the opposite to the Stress Response (see title by Harvard’s Dr Herbert Benson for the science behind the reasoning)
http://healingfromburnout.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/The-Relaxation-Response.jpg
• As the Buddhists say ‘Everything is impermanent’ (I’m not Buddhist but have enormous respect for the teachings & have sat 3 x 10 day silent Vipassana retreats)
Lastly a gi-normous thankyou for amarynth’s heroic efforts on this site – and thanks for sharing some of your journey here with us today. I am totally blown away by the resources you get your head around and share with us so succinctly here in the Cafe. Much appreciated
Peace be with you all
Onwards and upwards,

US Is the Top Human Rights Violator in the World, and It’s Not Even Close
The ideology of American exceptionalism has created the illusion that the U.S. deserves to hold a monopoly on the issue of human rights. American exceptionalism presumes that the United States is the model example for countries and peoples all over the world. However, the days when the world was forced to bow to the U.S. are over. Most of the world sees the U.S. as the biggest threat to human rights and a peaceful existence. The U.S.’s human rights track record suggests that the world is correct, and it is the entire planet that suffers when issues such as war, climate change, poverty, and racism are blamed on China rather than addressed with solidarity and cooperation at a global level.
Its why USA has walked away from International Court Criminal Justice. Thus exposing their guilt to try to not be held accountable fir their actions.

Have you read Fritz Springmier’s book on the so called 13 bloodlines? Not sure what to make of it. In the past year I read Joseph Farrell’s Babylon’s Bansters, Financial Vipers of Venice, and Thrice Great Hermes There is a lot to sort out. It doesn’t start with fake news a lot of history is also fake.
If Covid is an AngloAmerican stalling tactic, and Germany is hitching up with Russia/China could this have something to do with the class action lawsuit against the lockdowns (which is centered in Germany)?

Where was I? Jim Willie in these videos say that Elvira Sakhipzadovna Nabiullina, head of the Russian Central Bank was fired? Really? I must have been relaxing under a rock. When and how did this happen? Far as I know, it did not happen.
And he really must fix his understanding of ‘digital currency’ and ‘crypto currency’. Also he says the US and Britain talks a lot about digital currency, but not a lot of acting. There is actually real acting here but the EU is taking the lead for the ‘bloc’ if you like.
A good article by Gordon Duff on the Journal of New Eastern Outlook – a real “ripping the veil of illusions” depiction of the truth of what happened to the American Armed Forces, and what they have morphed into.
It’s also a little food for thought for those who would revert to a previous time – back to medieval views of what constitutes an Armed Services, and why those who own them, pay them, and use them, want them the way they are.
It’s also worth considering for those who fear the Empire plans an armed invasion of Russia – and that it would succeed.!!!! I doubt they are planning such – because the forces they constructed aren’t designed for that purpose, and even they must realise how hopeless outmatched they would be against professional, skilled, intelligent forces who fight for one thing – love of homeland and her people.

Trump and Biden are cold blooded mass murderers, like all of congress. Having cold blooded mass murderers running the country is obviously not working out. Is that the best that we can do? Murderers?! I refuse to support and vote for murderers, it’s just so uncivilized!
We should try electing people that are opposed to murder, and see if it could Make America Great Again. I think that there just might be a correlative effect between murderers running the country, and America being a Shit-hole nation. Go figure! Who knew?!
Andrea Iravani
Hmm….apparently Erdogan and Zelenskiy have met earlier today and gave a press meeting announcing agreements….and status of their relationship……….
Check out UK’s freaked out support bubbles! Required to register with the government if your household forms a support bubble ( socialization ) with another household, punishing any hosehold with an adult child of 18+ years of age living at home, and everyone in the home must be in the same support bubble, and if anyone in the bubble tests positive, all are subjected to quarantine! This is just sick as hell! Obviously, a young adult living at home might gain an economic advantage over others that must be extrajudicially punished, because they really hate families helping eachother out since it reduces the psychopaths necessity!

Searching for an interview of Giulani regarding the Hunter Biden laptops abandoned for 6 months plus at a Delaware computer repair shop which I saw hours ago on my phone.
Maybe it was taken down already by the Russia, Russia, Russia Full Court MSM Protect Hiltelry and Obummer At ALL Costs………Full (Royal) Court Geopolitical Press. I’ll keep looking because it had (or has if it can be found) one of the BEST 2020 Campaign One Liners YET:
The non-MSM resporter nevertheless feels the Empire Heat and is a little skeptical of Rudy Giulani…… throwing him some interview curve balls…nothing slow and “over the middle”. But Rudy stays in the batters box, swinging away.
Finally the interviewer admits that the laptop holds “a photo of Hunter, asleep in bed, with a crack pipe in his mouth” which the reporter HAD seen.
“Cracked” Giulani: “WHAT…..Only ONE???”
I see Massive Damage Control Spin by The Empire (just when some thought Russia! Russia! Russia! was a beaten absolutely TO DEATH “horse”…………they are saddling it up AGAIN) and trying to run down Giulani with it…………… but I am betting this tough Prosecutor gets them before they “get ” him.
While I look for that inspiring (and humorous!) interview………..Y’all CAN get that photo of Hunter With The Crack Pipe ………………from the UK MSM:

Turkey undertakes strengthening in Idlib: a large contingent introduced
After several months of relative calm in the Idlib de-escalation zone in Syria, where a ceasefire has been established since early March of this year, the Turkish Armed Forces have introduced a large contingent into the north-western region of the Arab Republic. The Turkish newspaper Milliyet reports today, on 16 October, that a convoy of 70 pieces of heavy armoured vehicles, including tanks and self-propelled artillery units, crossed the border on Thursday evening and entered Idlib.

Think again!
The Minister of Truth Lays It On The Line That Divides the BLUE CHECK Approved Version of “Truth”…………from the Red State Flyover “Theories”……………. he doesn’t like………….
“Intelligence” Committee and self-appointed “Truth” Ministry head starts the meeting off………with a WHOPPER:
“The vast majority of the Committee’s work necessarily takes place behind closed doors….. (You see, YOU Can’t Handle The Truth! Leave it to the Committee of Witnesses!) but we also have a responsibility to take testimony from those outside the US Government and inform the public about growing trends that could endanger our nation in both the short term and the long term. Building on prior unclassified hearings today we examine the risks posed by:
1.Misinformation (any opposition or guffaws of laughter responding inappropriately to “Russia! Russia! Russia!” hysteria and fear-mongering Mind Control…and not taking it vewy, VEWY seriously indeed!)
2. Conspiracy Theories (anything other than Clowns In America approved Fake News)
AND:
3. “INFODEMICS”
Tore should sue Adam for plagiarization: That’s her word invention I’ll venture to assert. She is on record calling Stupid 19 “an Infodemic whose purpose is Impeachment” back in March. Look it up if you don’t trust her and Millie Weaver…..like Alex Jones and Robert David Steele….also don’t.

Quite telling!
Instead of a civil war, maybe the US will simply be conquered. It’s possible that Mexico and the rest of Latin America will spontaneously form an alliance and rampage across North America and Australia, putting an end to Anglo-Imperialism once and for all. A global quasi-indigenous revolt, justified in the name of environmentalism and the idea of reversing European imperialism instead of continuing it under the false name of “progress”.
European Imperialism was often sudden and dramatic. Mongol Imperialism was even more so. Russia wasn’t an Empire, then one day it was. Arabia too. Who knows what new empires will pop up this millennium? If times get desperate and Pope Francis declares a crusade for the sake of climate refugees, the conflict may end quickly as the US army will be too oriented towards offense in the Old World and not prepared for internal conflicts and britzkriegs from nearby enemies.

However: Hard Evidence………. Beats Propaganda………………in The End…….. I’m willing to bet.
How about you??
What I like the best from this story is Hunter’s Pure Unconsciousness, Utter Stupified Incompetence, and Totally Degraded & Debauched Identity:
1) Leaving laptops with a repairman in Delaware for 90+ days past the time that they are “abandoned property” belonging to the repairman AFTER the 90 day window to return for them expired.
2) His email to his own sister, saying he, Hunter is doing the best he can to “set up the whole family for 30 years to come” (so stop pushing him for cash) …but “unlike Pop, I won’t even take a 50% cut.”
The Acorn (NUT) Doesn’t Fall Far From The Tree.
I have not read this book that was republished, but I have to say that I am surprised that this group has not sued publishers of the Bible.
If the Bible in The Book of Kings, repeatedly accuses Jews of worshipping 666 talons of gold, and statues, sleeping with their mothers, having male prosititutes, 700 wives, and 300 concubines, it is really surprising that this group of extra sensitive Jews let the religious organizations get away with publishing the Bible!
But at least they were circumsised! Oy Veh!
Get over yourselves!

Oct. 14
— Russia has approved its second coronavirus vaccine, President Vladimir Putin announced as the peptide-based shot developed by a Siberian biotech company readies for large-scale trials.
— Russia has cleared two antiviral drugs called remdesivir for coronavirus treatment after doctors used the drugs to treat U.S. President Donald Trump, the Health Ministry announced.
So, using massive, meaningless RT-PCR based testing techniques, skyrocketing infection rates as pretence, the Russian people are being led to an, ultimately mandatory, vaccine zombified “new normal”.
Just like everybody, everywhere https://www.trtworld.com/life/china-s-sinopharm-covid-19-vaccine-to-be-available-at-end-of-2020-38989
“The head of a major state-owned Chinese pharmaceutical company says its coronavirus vaccine will be commercially available by the end of the year.
Sinopharm has said its experimental vaccine could be ready for public use by the end of this year. It has entered a late-stage human test in the United Arab Emirates to gather proof of efficacy for final regulatory approvals.”
Nearly exactly the same timescales as operation warp speed.
No. Your comment about a mandatory vaccine is a lie.
Putin has specifically said there will be no mandated vaccine – it’s up to the individual to choose.
ad hominem removed … mod
I’m laughing Pamela. In the quiet here, I repeat your ad hominem, even though I have no idea what it was. But I say it tooooo lol!
More seriously, they’re moving to blood assays for testing. I’ve had no time to follow this through at all and I don’t know if I’m even going to but there is an issue of ‘herd immunity’ that is being computed. (For myself, I have no faith in the ‘herd immunity’ concept but anyways, that is what is happening).
But take a look, that link there is about China, not about Russia lol. And please educate this fellow on PCR tests and this is not one test .. these tests are made by many many labs and they are different although maybe conceptually similar.
In Russia “Thus far 114 test systems for diagnosing COVID-19 gained approval of the relevant authorities, 794 laboratories work across the country to analyze results of tests taken.”
https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/moscow-begins-widespread-free-covid-19-testing/1912634
Anyway lol … thought to tell you we’re joint ‘ad hominests’ today.
“I repeat your ad hominem”
I also find myself smiling at your repetitious ad-hominem – I think I have have a fair idea what both your’s and Pamela’s was.
In any case, so long as everybody is happy it might be a case of “nothing really matters” (but I doubt that).
Have a nice day (cough, cough).
Who is the anonymous troll who is allowed to post, often with repeated themes and links, with content included printed in cursive ? A respected and highly intelligent commentator replies, contradicts, including a personal remark and this is removed by the moderator outlined in black for emphasis.
Maybe Pamela does not mind, she is incredibly diplomatic at times and will go a long way for the truth, fighting like a tiger in fact. I do not find it funny, but game playing serving as distraction.
The global Covid theme of fear and panic by the MSM for 8-9 months 24/7, including test details, numbers of tests, false tests, types of virus diseases, types of Covid deaths, number’s of deaths, all of it has and continues to be recorded in detail by endless sources, with often truly moving accounts of brave medical and scientific professionals speaking out and connecting to hundreds of related professionals at the same time.
The movement of this voice of strong individuals and those who do not believe the propaganda is growing all the time.
What we are coming to terms with, is how Covid 19 plus ruthless restrictions, that is distraction for total control, will not only will be used as an excuse for economic collapse, but to manipulate political, economic power interests towards achieving the subjugation of billions of people.
They will not be subjugated – this side of hell anyway – but numberless other’s lives ruined, and meanwhile, the global sexual predators of children will continue to exert its terrible power.
Please don’t think I spend time thinking about all this, it is there, in the back of my consciousness, that is all, but I cannot remain silent in the face of needless distractions to genuine efforts undertaken towards truth.
Not to worry Earth Rattler. Gremlins get into the gears more frequently than what we may think. I’m not sure if it is a ‘sign of the times’, or just gremlins. Gives an opportunity for a good laugh sometimes. For somebody with my brain, I immediately want to call a competition for the closest guess to the ad hominem, but alas, we cannot do those things here.
I do know that humor shrinks gremlins.
“I do know that humor shrinks gremlins.”
Unfortunately, mankind has always been “shrink wrapped” by psychopathic “leaders”.
Thank you for your kind words Earth Rattler.
I do understand your frustration and indignation – it is something I think we share. My one source of hope these days is, as you say, the growth of the number of highly respected doctors, medical specialists and scientists who are making their voices heard. Not, judging form the insanity currently raging in the UK, that it affects the stubborn minded politicians of the world, who have not one iota of knowledge of any of these fields, yet the power to act on their emotions, suppositions, and personal band wagons, to the detriment of thousands and thousands.
Economies have been wrecked and with it millions of lives, children deprived of education and now often, food, as malnutrition rates have soared in so many places.
The issue with these tests is that every testing method had it’s flaws and failures and these have to be taken into account – yet for the RT-PCR, which the man who invented specifically stated, in the paper which won him the Nobel Prize, that it was incompetent for, and should never ever be used for, diagnostic purposes. Yet here they are, blatantly flying in the face of the one person who knew more about it’s efficacy than anyone else.
This issue of a test having false negatives and positives, and a Gold Standard it must be measured against, is a big issue in itself.
I’d like to recount a little anecdote of my own experience, from a family incident.
About 5 yrs I got a sudden Skype call from my daughter one morning, in a distressed state. Working in Korea for an international Oil and Gas company with mandatory health screenings, her husband had been informed that his Pancreatic Cancer test was positive, and he had Pancreatic Cancer.
“how long has he got” she sobbed.
After I’d pulled out of the initial shock, I said “You have to go home. At a time like this, you need your own people and language around you. Moreover although I’ve had criticisms of Australia, it has one of the leading edge cancer centers in the world. You organise your flights, someone to stay with, I’ll call The Peter McCallum”
After this was done, my analytic side kicked in and I called her back with details of the appointment I’d made but also said “Remember to take all the paper work and tests, and while we’re here, tell me what test did they use and what was the result?”.
I did some research for this test and was able to email back “look, it’s too early to break out the champagne yet, but we have a ray of hope. This test carries a very high rate of false positives – some countries dont use it any more, some only to monitor chemotherapy results, so be sure the Peter Mac know the test used”.
Long story short, the P. Mac agreed they never used this test, used two other more stringent ones, and happily, it had been a false positive.
Any “test” has to be clear about what it measures, and that this has all been proven in several labs. It has to have established the false +ve and -ve rates, and how it rates against the Gold Standard. The Gold Standard is the test which always gives you a true reading. For example, for Pancreatic Cancer as for Prostate Cancer, it’s a biopsy. No arguing with cells seen and identified under a microscope.
The test for Prostate Cancer , the PCA, although widely used and with lots of scope, still has a higher than required range of false returns.
This is the problem with Covid testing. The method of collecting samples is very “hit and miss”, the number of false negatives is thought to be very high, and worse, the very test itself, the PCR, IS the “Gold Standard” – but compared to a biopsy, it’s not one at all, as it is the test, not something the test can be compared against.
And it’s this hit and miss method which is being used to justify massive dislocation and collapse, and disaster. It’s this which has caused massive economic collapse, suicides, death from lack of treatment, like the young mother of 29 reported in UK with Stage 4 Colon Cancer who was told to wait for chemo until the Covid was over. She died 3 days ago.
And as you say, known horrors of paedophilia are going un-combated.
It truly is enough to have us clutching our heads in despair sometimes, until remembering that despair is a sin :-)
@ amarynth — LOL. Thanks for the laugh amarynth. Similar minds, yes? Interesting how sometimes we humans can understand each other without direct communication, even on electronic.
I mean, I thought I was just making an observation :-) :-)
@anonymous
Normally I don’t respond to anonymous comments but in this case I think it is perhaps warranted…
You really do need to be made aware that the mantra [“meaningless RT-PCR based testing techniques” ] is completely at odds with the NZ experience in its control and ringfencing of active cases of Covid-19.
It resides with a long list of other misleading claims that have been regularly made on this site which are equally dangerous… I will mention only 2 as I don’t want to be here all day…
#1 Viruses don’t exist…what an extraordinary claim! And yet some commenters on this site persist with this in order to bolster their argument…yet in the next breath completely contradict themselves when they claim that the Covid-19 virus [which five minutes ago didn’t exist because viruses, in general, don’t exist] are actually so minute in size that it is futile to use any mask as a control measure…if they don’t exist they don’t have any measurement…they can’t have it both ways!
#2 Masks are useless and counterproductive in all circumstances and should not be used even in surgical procedures because they actually increase the chances of infections. Based on this ludicrous premise they then go on to claim that the same applies to mask effectiveness for control of virus spread.

NZ has done extensive testing to monitor progress to date and as a country has gone for long periods of time without any sign of community spread. If the test was as unreliable as your claim makes out then this could never happen, as the sheer number of false positives and negatives would completely negate any efforts to ringfence outbreaks.
For anyone to make this claim flies in the face of the success of many countries in the world who have had extraordinarily low infection rates and have used this, along with mask-wearing in appropriate circumstances, and of course social distancing.

…some quotes from this link…https://thespinoff.co.nz/science/21-09-2020/how-the-pcr-test-works-and-why-its-such-a-critical-weapon-against-covid-19/
“According to the Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics’ dashboard there are now hundreds of versions of the PCR test. What differentiates them is the equipment they are designed to run on and the specific genetic sequences they look for. Some of the test kits can detect as few as 1-10 copies of the specific viral gene they are designed to pick up. That makes them super-sensitive.
Around the world countries are grappling with how to deal with the pandemic. This is clearly a difficult virus. People are infectious before they have symptoms, and many of the symptoms mimic other infections and health conditions. Those are not reasons to quit trying to prevent the virus from spreading. The PCR test is a valuable part of our toolkit to do this and it’s working really well in New Zealand.”
…unquote…
And meanwhile, the increase in infections in many European countries like Belgium make the Herd Immunity theory as a stand alone strategy look more and more forlorn by the day…
…and a quote from the link…https://www.pnas.org/content/117/41/25897…
“Confronted with escalating COVID-19 outbreaks, countries at the leading edge of the pandemic have had to resort to imposing drastic social distancing measures which have serious societal and economic repercussions. Establishing herd immunity in a population by allowing the epidemic to spread, while mitigating the negative health impacts of COVID-19, presents a tantalizing resolution to the crisis.
Our study simulating SARS-CoV-2 spread in the United Kingdom finds that achieving herd immunity without overwhelming hospital capacity leaves little room for error. Intervention levels must be carefully manipulated in an adaptive manner for an extended period, despite acute sensitivity to poorly quantified epidemiological factors. Such fine-tuning of social distancing renders this strategy impractical.”
And last but not least it appears that covid mortality in counties and states in the US also had high vote share for Trump…now knock me over with a feather…who on earth would have thunk!!!
…a quote below from this link…https://voxeu.org/article/us-excess-mortality-rate-covid-19-substantially-worse-europe-s
“A study of COVID-19 deaths and infection rates across US counties finds that counties with a high 2016 vote share for Trump have higher rates of COVID-19 mortality, accounting for population density, racial/ethnic composition and other controls (Desmet and Wacziarg 2020).
This result appears to be confirmed at the state level when using excess mortality as the dependent variable: states with a higher share of the Democrat vote in the 2016 election have lower cumulative P-scores, given appropriate controls.20
While the dense, urban Northeast had the highest excess deaths, the Midwestern and Southern states, many of which have Republican political leadership, also suffered higher excess mortality than Europe (Figure 4), despite being substantially less dense, more rural and having advance warning.”

I’m not too clear re the “dense” in the last paragraph and whether it refers to population distribution or intelligence levels…I sure Nostradamus 93 will chime in and enlighten us all though.
Scathing analysis from a Reagan insider Dr Paul Craig Roberts (and some excellent remarks on financial markets rigging incl gold)
I disagree with his final pessimistic conclusion, so I fixed it for him:

Regards
The article is from 2014.
At that time, Pessimist (which is a fundamental form of corruption, blaming everything outside of one’s self, and posturing to be “pure”…………. while offering little or nothing by way of solutions to rally around…..or even grasp, conceptually……..) Paul….had plenty of cause for alarm, midway through the second term of the most corrupt presidency, probably….in US History.
And it is a service to call out problems and issue warnings.
But only as a first step.
There must be optimistic follow-up or the Voice of Doom………..simply becomes an agent of the enemy of humanity. Whether they are witting of that fact….or..as is very often the case…..they are completely … unconscious of it……but most ironically…..willfully so…in way too many cases.
How do I know??
Talk to people. Get under their skin…..to help them “get” the above plain fact of the matter.
And quite a number will tell you shamelessly: “I don’t want” .…( to get…..that fact.). They prefer the satisfaction of mere posturing….and complaining, all too often.
And what is one messy, but undeniable fact?
It is that Trump has inspired the optimism of multiple millions of people to destroy the MSM Mind Control over themselves…..(and Big Tech …in Macon Georgia…which he specifically pointed out and “called out” at that rally….yesterday or the day before….) ..which (MSM) PCR…to his credit has pilloried (but pessimistically) for a very much longer time, somewhat less productively……as….. “presstitutes”.
He may have originated the term?
But the messy, imperfect but mass & effective followup? 1 million times more DJT than PCR
Just a “first step” (putting “the Failing New York Times” WAPO etc out of their misery……”Long Live The Post!” LOL ) to exiting Empire of Corruption (with fundamental pessimism…at its core).
But a necessary first step…without which no subsequent positive steps….. are even possible..
Onward and upward, Paul!
May you “go out” at the end of your long struggle……a happier, more fulfilled, less bitter…and yes “optimistic” old man!

BTW, Trump says if he does not win, he will leave the US. That man will lick a dirty sidewalk for votes – I’m not saying this critically, I’m just expressing the level of salesmanship.
He says it well. But talking about war and corruption, looks like Wall Street is going for Biden – by the mouth of Jamie Dimon.
Dimon Says He’s Hopeful Biden Would Fix Some of America’s Issues

This actually surprised me but it should not. The utterly corrupt calling for the utterly corrupt over many years, and the new money given by Trump does not stack up against years of collusion and corruption.
For that “Anonymous” who keeps turning up here ranting about how Russia is colluding with the West over Corvid, and has many “sick and dead”, this today from “Aftershock”
In mid-may, Moscow announced a mass screening for antibodies to covid-19, with the number of tests up to 200 thousand per day.In order to identify the true number of infected patients, including asymptomatic ones.They promised to publish the results weekly and even with a breakdown by district.The last report was on may 23 that 14% of Muscovites were found to have antibodies.After that, don’t say anything.Did something go wrong?Or did I miss something?‘
There are a number of comments below, most of which are supportive of the writer, with comments about the few Corvid Ab+ve people found in their own towns/regions. What is clear is that the number of tested people who where Covid Ab+ve was very very low!!
Which indicates that whatever “test” is being used and published in Moscow mainstream media, about the thousands dropping dead from Covid – or, are “cases” – is probably based on the highly discredited PCR, or similar.
Either way, the Authorities are staying very tight lipped on the entire debacle, and reports published in all Russian MSM are to be taken with a big big pinch of salt.
“Which indicates that whatever “test” is being used and published in Moscow mainstream media, about the thousands dropping dead from Covid – or, are “cases” – is probably based on the highly discredited PCR, or similar.”
This is the gov.policy on testing https://xn--80aesfpebagmfblc0a.xn--p1ai/faq/#faq34
“Diagnosis of a new coronavirus infection is carried out by molecular genetic methods – PCR (polymerase chain reaction). For the study, a swab from the nose and oropharynx is taken, as well as other tests as prescribed by the doctor.”
You say:
“the Authorities are staying very tight lipped on the entire debacle”
The opposite is the case.
gov.policy here https://xn--80aesfpebagmfblc0a.xn--p1ai/ states the current covid-19 death count is 20,002. There is a plethora of information on the site about the “debacle”.
Out of some interest, why do you consider the rt-pcr test as discredited but the antibody test (prior infection) as valid?
“(prior infection) as valid?”
oops:
(
priorpost infection) as valid?I’ve already said why the PCR is discredited – in a reply to Earth Rattler, should be “up” shortly.
Antibodies just measure what is there, taken from a clearly infected patient, and should have been measured from several tests of the same subject over the course of the illness, from peaking at peak of symptoms to declining as recovery occurs.
I dont consider it totally valid in this case, as the isolation procedure for the Covid RNA is so contentious, it could actually just be an Ab to a common cold. I have seen no evidence of what it has been measured against.
I also have previously quoted research done by a colleague of mine in North Queensland, where she determined that a high percentage of those who had had a “case” of Ross River Fever had not “sero-converted” i.e. had no Antibodies. Interestingly, they recovered over the same time span as those who had produced Ab’s.
I just find it interesting that a test which possibly is more reliable than PCR showed [a] far fewer +ve returns and [b] appears to have been ditched!!
This looks like a much more complete interview……………………………… of The Falconer (Allen Perrault….not “Parrot”) by family (father and brother) of Ty….one of Seal Team Six conveniently killed by Biden-Hillary-Obama to hush up the Trophy Kill of Osama Bin Laden……gone wrong.

Benghazi Bombshell
Note Well: All of this information is not new. Anyone with half a brain knows something is amiss if OBL’s body was “buried at sea”. (these guys say his double’s body was dumped out the helicopter door over the Kush mountains when it was clear the mission was a failure…getting “the wrong” OBL…..) and even more so after the Entire Seal Team on the mission in murdered……and added to the Clinton Kill List.
What is new is the public surfacing of Perrault and his purported sharing of hard evidence in terabytes of audio, video and text files, scans of documents with 1 at least 1 unnamed US Congressman………..and the gradual making of many parts of the evidence public…..in drip, drip, drip fashion between now and Nov 3.
Similar (we are told) to Giulani’s approach with Hunter’s laptop…… and so forth.
Not to even speak of Hillary 33,000 emails…….or The Anthony Wiener laptop….as reserve ammunition.
The idea is make the Deep State run out of ammunition first.
And their “Russia is behind Rudy”…..”nothing to see here”…… panicked defense…is quite pathetic….and shows they are ‘scraping up’ whatever they can desperately scrape up.
Which ain’t much, is it???

dispatch from the belly of the techno-Fascist Beast. 10/17/20
Everyone is going a little crazier here lately. The zionist Christians are having bible study groups–book of Revelations, the owners have issued a veiled warning that the donut-coffee drinking outside gathering each Friday might be “cancelled” because of poor mask adherence by the attendees, my next door neighbor who was planning to lead Christmas caroling was hauled off by paramedics to the hospital with a mysterious (they think it’s viral infection/not covid) inner ear issue which caused the doctors to shuffle through medications until they found one that was effective, the professional managers of the park whose sage advice is pretty much ignored took a week off to buy land in high desert Arizona .
Rays of light. Catherine Austin Fitts was on Alex Jones show ( she listened carefully to his usual demagogic interruptions, and answered them effectively). By the way, her take on the Pistes Sophia path parallels what Sheikh Imran says about the recitation out loud of the Koran—that the original language is encoded with passwords but requiring faith and wisdom. ( one has to study and think, think, think) to be allowed to access the higher spiritual realms.

The Neighborhood Watch folks—the crazed artisans are organizing a drive by pulled pork event combined with a Halloween dress up challenge to the Park. And my French citizen friend ( who has never voted in a US election because she is not a citizen but was mailed a ballot for Nov 3rd) is quietly reciting the psalms. She said that when she had a mental breakdown years agot she just kept reading the cycle over and over for a year until she healed.
Meanwhile, the Christians at our Monday prayer meeting ( 15 min) are busy testifying about Christ, Israel and president Trump. Mainly, I listen, but I think they are rather clueless about the historical process ahead, how they need to prepare and how terribly tested everyone will be, but it’s not my place, so?….When they talk about Abraham ( the Isaac faith story) , I talk carefully about Gideon per Catherine Austin Fitts discussion. But Jesus is going to come and make it allllllll right. At the risk of being judged for insufferable arrogance, after another woman asked in prayer for help with her falling problem, I did get a copy of Psalm 91 ( Christian based) and gave it her saying, ” If you recite this, you might still fall but you won’t be hurt.”
Hey, that is what my lived experience with the psalm has been, so? and that is literally what the psalm says, so? and she did ask, so?
Did I mention that we have a huge EMF tower in our community which groans under the weight of the units placed on it? Both women with falling problems(atrial fib) and inner ear ( “viruses”) have small dogs which they faithfully walk every day at least twice a day. Just saying… My little cheap-o EMF meter goes red as one walks outside in the direction of the tower and stays orange otherwise–it’s only rarely yellow and never green with one exception. The spot outside where we have both the prayer and social club board meeting is shielded by an aluminum clad mobile home on one side and a line of glorious old tall Cedars on the other. There the meter shows green. (I’m wise enough to keep my mouth shut about all this–except to my very discreet psalm-saying French friend).
The day has come. We will see how it goes, but the JPCOA is done with. OK, the US then instituted draconian new sanctions against Iran, but I don’t think many are going to worry about that too much. There are too many methods now for money transfer and for goods transfer into Iran.
Iran claims victory over US as UN arms embargo expires

Now for tomorrow I hope for a victory of MAS against the Coup government in Bolivia. If that happens then Evo Morales can come home and Bolivia can take their own resources and their lithium back. I am following with Ollie Vargas here; https://twitter.com/OVargas52
Results will be out on Wednesday.
But the crowd is all there, Max Blumenthal, Anya Parampil, Benjamin Norton and they’ve been threatened. The international observers are being threatened and sometimes assaulted and overall mayhem runs high. This is a fight, hegemon vs bolivians.
https://twitter.com/OVargas52/status/1317549869557555208
This is of course the coup that when Elon Musk was accused of having a hand in it to secure Lithium, he said…. We will coup whoever we want to coup. Get used to it. Just days before this coup, lithium prices rose quite sharply, and that is how I picked it up, and I knew something was up. It was well planned by the usual suspects who have been coddling the right wing coup government. The coup government of course also has a self-declared president which is becoming somewhat of a feature in Latin American coups.
Of course just a little before that Evo Morales announced that Bolivia will now further work with their lithium and start making finished products, i.e., batteries. Of course lithium is also used in medicine, nuclear reactors, even modern air conditioners. Morales did create somewhat of a miracle in Bolivia. Yet, he underestimated the ability to bribe his military and they did not stand with him during the coup. He has a good heart and is generally greatly respected.
The question here is that MAS is very clearly organized, came together in one leftist bloc and so far in the polls it is a clear win. And if this election is meddled with, this country may break out in further violence and the Bolivians may carry the coup government out of their positions, chairs and all.
With you in praying for them amarynth.
Did you catch the latest re Russia in Venezuela?? Stands to make billions from recent confirmed and extended input to oil purification, has invested hugely in the oil plants, so that if Tub o’Lard and his cohorts try anything V. again, it’s Russia they’ll be taking on. Ven. oil ships are sailing under the Russian Flag. Wonderful news.
{Oh, dear, was that, er, ad hominen :-) }
I’m either too switched on, intuitive, or plain naive, but I don’t believe the Biden laptop T.V episodes, too scripted, too media manufactured corruption for political manipulation orientated.
It seems part of a great, unpredictable side show, the unpredictable bit is the hanging in the balance moments, the tipping points one way or another, and then unexpected changes, depending on what – ? a myriad, multi dimensional layered strata of possibilities, life is dependent on people. Politics means people, not abstract pie in the sky.
Censorship is very real, what is it but bare tyranny ?
