Who is TPTB? Group of 300 probably, but who pays them. Blackrock, Vanguard, Goldman Sachs.
Blackrock, the biggest, is a very qualified guess. They have economic key positions in all important countries and International organisations, UN, WEF, etc.
Our world of today are micromanaged by investment programmes and profit logarithms in every area of society pushing all natural behaviour, desires, emotions and human heart aside.
Know your enemy, Mr. Global, a step further up. https://journal-neo.org/2021/06/18/there-is-more-to-blackrock-than-you-might-imagine/
if that is the case, would the shareholders/private clients not be More powerful? Who are the shareholders/private clients of blackrock? perhaps they are the Real group of ‘300’ behind the fake front group of 300?! who are the shareholders/private clients of blackrock?
The tax payers are. Pension funds, public funds, property funds, other Investment funds (Vanguard the biggest).
It is impossible to get names out of the ownership, other than the operative level CEO’s and Fund Managers.
Its because I know Blackrock is sending threat letters to even big multi $billion Corporations to do this and that (change to green energy, women equality, change business to ….. ) “or else” the Board will be levelled.
CIA plus are also “asking friendly” these Corporations to do “favours” or else.
So its not easy to make business for the productive sector these days.
whats really dangerous for davos?

p/s warning for sensitive ears – colorful language
Mercouris video essay @ duran about Dutch ship deciding to run away… He says that the Dutch said that ship’s electrical equipment was “damaged”.
In other words the Dutch ship took a hit by Russian ECM, and, presumably left “Hors de combat”, not in a condition to fight.
Perhaps the entire intrepid flotilla would like to try the ride. In fact I bet the sailors would be pleased to get out of “rifle sights”…as they would get if the ECM fellas would only push a button and fry the circuits. Then everybody could go home and work in the garden. Ships generally are actually quite vulnerable, even a crack in a connector block can stop GT engines, let alone a powerful blast of well developed EMR. And the modern radars are intensely complex, ergo fragile, brittle, in a sense. The only protection would stoking coal by hand in a WW1 era warship – 100% mechanical, and totally useless.
I am still very interested in claims that Russian Pacific Fleet sent 2 vessels to the 12 mile limit (undetected?) off Hawaii…and the Americans did not shoot or, it seems, even know. (Hal Turner).
Hal Turner is a bad source if you like to know facts first.
The Russians were seen by Americans from the getgo.
The Russians were 20-35 miles from Kauai and Oahu islands.
This was all reported in mainstream open sources.
To suggest the US didn’t see Russia’s EW ship and then 20 ships exercising in the waters within strong binocular range is the kind of crap Turner might write.
The only English language US-based sources you should read for accurate information and rational analysis is Saker’ Vineyard and Andrei Martyanov’s blog, https://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/
The rest of the blogoosphere and social media is about propaganda, meme spreading and are a waste of time.
Outside the US, MOA has accurate facts, and intelligent analysis.
Thank you. I agree. But i said “claims”. I don’t understand why one ought not to be interested in claims, and it’s obvious the ol’ Hal is a huckster. I thought it was obvious to everyone, in fact. Perhaps it’s possible that I failed to be unsubtle.
The semantic value seems to be clear, it’s sarcasm but with a genuine open mind – I am waiting for evidence. It may be difficult to find, since the implication seems to have been that the ships were invisible. That’s a big claim, isn’t it.
Again, my deepest thanks.
Whether or not the claim actually happened, the claim is totally plausible in that the Russian stealth project 20386 corvette could have been finished ahead of schedule and dolled up with that fancy cloaking fabric they have these days so that a man with binoculars couldn’t possibly make it out against the uniform background.
Yes, I too think the claim is plausible. In fact I am sure I could have built boats to do it, if I were a young fella. The dope smuggler “simisubmarines” with fuel cells and electric propulsor and going with the tide and currents like living logs. But the Russians are smarter than I am, as an old fella. If they did come to 12 mile limit, they probably did it with bigger vessels that could carry “something”.
Speaking of “somethings”>
Let us recall the affair of the U 47 @ Scapa Flow…ahemmm…https://warfarehistorynetwork.com/2016/08/16/german-u-boats-scapa-flow-shock/
Withal, however, in war deception is a basic foundational principle…thus true or not, the claim has strategic value. Invisible “threats” demand effort, whether or not they’re real…is Strategy 101, “hullabaloo in West! Attack in East” an’ all that stuff.
Visibility at sea if one is near the level of surface, is very poor, most of time…maybe a mile or two in haze.
Radar is not much better, unless angles are good. Same radiation, different spectrum. Similar obfuscation of image. Digital broad-spectrum supersexy radar? Much better.
Very often, despite the hyperbole, H Turner site give leads to confirm or dis-confirm, which is sleuthing fun as we witness the business, this appalling business, of weaving histories.
I am not sure what MoA Mr “b”, if that’s one fella, is up to, but yes indeed, he’s pretty good source, :karlov1 is better, however…BND is on his shoulder? You tell me. Is obvious. Ergo, what does he not “permit”, and better still, what does this most esteemed and excellent and intrepid fella not say? BND is grandchild gestapo? Duh…well, they were of the finest character. I would never criticize. But yes, he tells of of the events “einmalig in der geschichte!” just like in the good ol’ days of Goebbels und der Volksempfänger. I shall prefer Klemperer’s Diaries, which I suggest all read.
I saw that on chinese state media news, w military-grade visual, thats why I mentioned it… not sure why its not in russia news? or is it? sorry i dont know russian sites…
anyway sb21 is on going and lots of sneaky stuff… happened!
… but I will wait for the russian media to spill and not jump the gun…
anyway, friends, observe what is happening here – all the social engineering, all of them, not one is rolled out as single-lonewolf-event, right b4 you!
How do you connect the ‘dots’ – the sequence of events?!
…and then act out accordingly …will determined your individual ‘future’ and your family and your bloodlines. (if you care about such things)

p/s thanks for all the sidebar posters – good stuff!
We are now coming to a very interesting part in the move to multi-polarity. I expect that soon we will be able to define ‘Zone B’ countries a little better. Yet, in the new world structure, countries may collaborate on some issues, but decide not to, on other issues. It will look messy, until it is understood. Some analysts are already saying that after Xi Jinping’s speech and Putin’s direct line, a massive river has been crossed. We’re now in a new dispensation.
People should also know that Europe is beginning to pump their gas provisions dry, and their is a hard refusal from the Russian side to pump more through the Ukrainian pipes. So Europe is beginning to really jones for NordStream2.
Putin, and you will see China following, is beginning to clear up older problems from old dispensation. You can expect him to address the UNGA, but in person? I don’t know. Some of us will remember his older addresses and this time we will see the plan come together.
After his direct line, he is on a visit to the oblasts and to the districts to go and check that they actually do what was identified in the direct line. You can be sure that he has every question asked about every area right in front of him, and he is going to demand action from the local authorities. He is also said to be restructuring – so, expect purging of local authorities that do not do their jobs.
It is always interesting to go and seek out some Russian views on what Putin said, after his speeches and specifically after his Direct Line. The internal understanding is sometimes different from what we understand on the large issues. So, from the Putin Today website .. https://www.putin-today.ru/
there is this .. about the Ukraine. OK, they ramble on a little, but you will soon see what the Russian understanding is of what Putin said .. I copy in full from Yandex translation.
Putin’s verdict: don’t expect mercy!..
“Good news: our Supreme Commander-in-Chief signed a decree on the resignation of… the President of Ukraine. Casually so, without too much pathos… Although in fact — never a joke, not only will President Zelensky resign, but in general the entire ruling Ukrainian elite: the words of our dear Vladimir Vladimirovich have simply not been properly appreciated yet. But he only announced the overthrow of the Kiev regime… But let’s start in order.
What did the president say? Literally — the following:
“Well, what to meet with Zelensky, if he gave his country under full external control. Key issues of Ukraine’s vital activity are resolved not in Kiev, but in Washington, partly in Berlin and Paris.”
It seems to be not news, but when did Putin himself say THIS in person? Never. Because such words should be followed by deeds. But with the cases everything is extremely interesting…
Putin said that he considers Russians and Ukrainians to be parts of the same people. And what does this mean?
Putin was just elected by the people-this is the first thing. Russians and Ukrainians are two parts of the same people — the second. Third, Ukraine is governed from Washington, not Kiev.
And what happens if you add these two plus two? Just one simple thought. And this idea betrays Putin’s entire plan for what awaits Ukraine. Vladimir Vladimirovich did not even let it slip — he just announced this plan of his. Quite deliberately. So:
Ukraine, according to Putin, is occupied by the United States. And the current Kiev authorities are an occupation administration, which our president does not even want to get dirty about — he doesn’t need to, he has a direct dialogue with the occupier, why should he exchange for his lackeys, who still don’t decide anything themselves?..
Ukraine is occupied, but at the same time a part of the united Russian people lives there. And the current Kiev authorities are an occupation administration. And Vladimir Vladimirovich is the legitimate president, who was elected by the people in order to pursue policies in their interests.
In short, Putin just declared the entire Kiev regime de facto illegitimate, that’s what was said. Putin declared war-not on Ukraine, no, but on the post — Maidan Kiev regime-yes.
Do you remember the battle cry: “Assad must go”? So, the current Kiev regime must leave-that’s what our president said in essence. Of course, not by accident, but quite consciously and planned.
Negotiations with Biden have passed. What was discussed at them? What kind of deal did you make? Putin clearly said that all vital issues of Ukraine are resolved in Washington. Well, here they are solved.
There are no sanctions on Nord Stream 2, and Kiev has no money ahead of it either. It would seem that here NATO showed support — this very destroyer “Defender” invaded our waters, and in general — the NATO naval exercise Sea Breeze began. Is this not a demonstration of support from the West, and for Russia – is this not a reason to be afraid? But it turned out that — no, not a reason. Putin spoke on this topic so coldly, indifferently and casually that the NATO admirals probably broke out in a cold sweat.
And then in the West they wrote with such hope: this is a horror, this is the beginning of the Third World War, everyone should be afraid, which means-what? So the Russians must not carry out their threat! Recall that Moscow promised next time not to open warning shooting and bombing on the course, but just immediately drown. Well, how is it possible? After all, this is a war!
So Putin answered this very question today. The hosts of direct line asked the same question — is it not scary for Russia to respond so sharply to the invasion of our territorial waters?
It’s not scary, Putin said. Namely, no Third World War will start for a very simple reason — because the Western countries know that they will lose it. Therefore, even a sunken British warship would not be a reason to start a war.
But this was the answer, of course, not to journalists, but to NATO: it was they who asked, aren’t you afraid, they say, to start a war? It’s not a big deal, Putin said, because we know that you won’t start it — you’ll just swallow it and get rid of it, because you’re weaker today.
This was the answer to the exercises that began: just try to repeat this number and you will go to the bottom of the Black Sea to feed the fish. Don’t hesitate, we will do it, and without hesitation. The time for warnings is over, our territorial waters are not a passageway for your warships!..
And finally, the third and most important thing that Putin said is that there is no point in restoring the Soviet Union. And then a very strange remark followed: not only does it make no sense, but it is also dangerous, because the demographic and social situation in some former republics is such that Russia may break down and pull it all out — what did he mean? Is it in Azerbaijan or where the demographics may be bad?
It turns out — no, everything is much more prosaic: Putin was talking about the same Ukraine! Although not only that, but also about Georgia and Armenia, where all the young people left, and the economy is so dead that it is already impossible to pull it out.
In fact, Putin has been declaring Russia’s strategy for Ukraine in the coming years without too much pathos. Unhurriedly, but voiced it all as an issue already resolved. So.
Two parts of the same people, so Russia will not allow these crazy experiments, when on the original Russian lands the Russian people are declared “non-indigenous” and somehow “inferior”. And even more so, as Putin said earlier — no one dares to use the territorial gifts of the Russian people in order to conduct an anti-Russian policy. Further.
Ukraine does not decide anything on its own, which means that it is occupied. The current Kiev authorities have placed the country under external control, which means that they are not legitimate, and the fate of Ukraine can and even should be discussed, but not with those who are sitting in Kiev — it should simply be released and put a normal government there.
Third — this issue of de-occupation was essentially discussed and agreed upon with Washington during the Geneva talks. And fourth — they have no way to change their minds and turn back, because Russia is ready for the toughest military responses in the event of aggression against us, and they will lose this war and know it themselves.
And the fifth thing is that there will be no unification into one country, and if you destroy it yourself, then you can fix it yourself, because Russia’s resources are not state-owned.
Russia has never declared its will in relation to Ukraine, and then suddenly — why would it, and even so abruptly? But because it’s time to act. The cards have come together, the time has come, agreements have been reached and everything is ready.
Oh, yeah. And most importantly, Nord Stream 2 has already been completed. It’s funny how many years we’ve been saying: gentlemen of Bandera, you should understand that you are spared only for one reason-Russia can’t afford to quarrel with Europe until our new gas pipeline is completed. But it will be completed, and then you will remember everything at once, and with the interest accumulated over the years. Leshenka Navalny, Gudkov Jr., Leonid Volkov and all the others-they will confirm that our government does not forget or forgive anyone, it’s just that everything has its time, and revenge is served cold.
But Bandera members thought that this day would never come, or rather-they did not think at all, they do not tend to plan beyond tomorrow. But the day has come, the gas pipeline has been built, and it’s time for everyone to pay their bills.
In Europe, there is already such a shortage of gas, and during this cold winter they have pumped everything out of underground storage facilities, and prices are already so cosmic that in the Old World they understand one thing: the slightest kick, the slightest attempt to say “we will not take Russian gas” – and the market will react so that prices will fly into space, and the entire European industry, on the contrary, will
Everything is calculated and timed perfectly: it’s not just artistic-the comedic young man is now running around like a madman, making the whole of Europe laugh and going crazy — in Kiev they understand that now they will be taken seriously, and the Kremlin even made sure in advance that no one dared to meddle in this sweet showdown, did not interfere with restoring justice.
So to whom was all this said?.. If Europe is already aware, and Biden was agreed in Geneva?.. Guess in one attempt. Kiev was told this: it’s time to change your shoes! To betray in time is not to betray, but to foresee! Smart people will be forgiven some things and left some places. If they make it to … what did Obama say?.. On the right side of history. That is, on the side of Russia. With which, as you know, God!..

I actually enjoyed this interpretation.
I very much hope he is right.
Cheers from France.
in EU religion collapsed then were to go for relief and solace ? Of course to anti depressants. And if an unexpected boon arrive at you whom do you thanks. The west was unable to progress beyond religion into the spiritual or the deeper core of their religions. That created a sort of emptiness, there is nothing and no Beyond. Sapiens and the great void. Then we got the famous “Muslim” terrorist ISIS etc etc. and their attacks like Charlie Chaplin hebdo. etc. There was no one to pray to. A wave of anxiety stated to fill up the emptiness. Then the “inevitable” war with Corea, Iran and the “danger” of Russian aggression and China overrunning the planet. Coupled with all this the influx of refugees from the middle East created further a strong unease ,annoyance resulting in uncertainty. While all this is going on there is the sex upheaval the cult of trangenderism, boys becoming girls and girls becoming boys. All this mixed with “How dare you” and the certain climate disaster
By then the emptiness was overfull with apprehension uncertainty and foremost fear and then came Covid the omnipotent and omnipresent master of the world and the world bowed down to “it”.
Or looking at it from another angle; the obvious disease of the human spirit.
(Excerpt from his book “Official Stories” / chapter 5: Vaccination – The Religious Science / pages 115 – 129
The industrial revolution brought a mechanization of agriculture to the growing U.S. population. More food was needed for the growing cities. People were living in tighter quarters; food was brought in by rail and cart. And to protect and preserve food and textile crops, grown in larger and larger mono-cropped fields, they were sprayed with toxic compounds like “Paris Green.”
Paris Green was the prominent agricultural product in the late 1800s into the 1900s. It was used to kill insects and bacteria. It was literally green, from the copper that formed part of its composition. It was made of copper and arsenic. Some versions swapped lead for copper, keeping the arsenic.
A note of interest for those of us not raised in the 1800s – lead, if ingested, can kill you. So can copper. And arsenic – well, that’s mostly what it was for. “Arsenic and Old Lace” was a comedy about murder, after all.
We like to blame invisible bugs for illness and ignore pollution. But the historical record tells us that from the 1700s to the 1970s (to today, in pill form), toxic, industrial poisoning was the norm: paralysis, illness and death were a result of industry.
The cases piled up in the 1700s and 1800s – lung problems caused by textile mills; scrotal cancer from charcoal exposure; mercury poisonings from felting; “phossy jaw,” a kind of paralysis from match-making; major nerve damage akin to polio or multiple sclerosis caused by arsenic-contaminated bread and wine; food poisoning from lead in canned food.
In 1900, Manchester, England was poisoned by beer. The sugar used to make it was contaminated with arsenic. An epidemic of nerve problems and shingles resulted. Cancer rates increased wherever industry grew, in the U.S. and India, chemicals used in the dye industry caused bladder cancers. In the U.K., shale oil used in industry caused scrotal cancers.
WW1 saw the mass-scale use of chemicals for warfare. Chlorine, phosphorus and mustard gas were sprayed on soldiers, civilians, farms and battlefields and killed over a million people. But these chemicals would continue to be used in agriculture, industry and medicine.
The 20th Century brought us asbestos, which caused lung disease and cancers worldwide. The camera came into vogue, and film was both manufactured and disposed of creating a toxic landslide. Disposing of film by burning releases cyanide, nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide; in one incident in Ohio, over 120 people died in two months.
Prohibition, 1930s: illegal liquor brewed with a toxic chemical caused major paralysis in the hands and feet of those exposed.
The neurotoxic agent caused hands and feet, arms and legs to drag and move unresponsively. The damage was long-lasting and could be permanent or fatal. Patients who died did so because their lungs became paralyzed, just like polio patients who had to be put in a breathing device – an iron lung. Autopsies showed the same or similar lesions on the spinal cord. But it was caused by the chemical in the booze, not a virus (somebody go tell Bill Gates). The drink was called “Ginger Jake,” and we even got a few songs out of it – “Jake Walk Papa” and the “Jake Leg Blues.” Not favorites of the people who couldn’t walk anymore, but, you know.
Can we see a pattern? There was no shortage of paralysis caused by industry in the 19th and early 20th Centuries. So what happened in the 1940s to bring polio to epidemic levels?
We Do it for the Children
Polio was called the “great crippler.” It was terrifying to mothers who feared for their children’s lives and loomed over towns and cities in the 1940s and ’50s. It was perverse – it appeared in industrialized nations, but it left poor people alone. George Carlin even made a joke about it. He grew up poor. He and his friends “swam in the raw sewage” of the East River. “It gave us immune systems,” he said. “Unlike you rich pussies!” He was joking, but what if he was half right? What were the mothers of middle-class children doing that the poor weren’t?
It didn’t act like a plague. It appeared in summer. Adults never got it from children. People didn’t “pass” it. It came out of nowhere and exploded in clusters. Whole schools would be taken down by a flash of profound muscular weakness, leaving some paralyzed and killing a few. Industrial history had demonstrated that neurological and paralytic Illnesses tended to act just this way – to explode, violently, in clusters.
But among academic scientists, there was no interest in toxins. The going concern in medicine was to nail down tiny particles. Pollution was not on the agenda. Instead, the focus went to something invisible that could perhaps be filtered from blood. Something never seen, but suspected to be there. These invisibles would be blamed for all illness. And vaccines would be invented to stop them. “Just as Pasteur and Jenner had done,” went the rallying cry.
But what was the real motivation, besides the fascination of some Ph.D.s with microscopes?
Ask the question: who funds university research? Who hires university researchers? The answer is the same: chemical, oil and pharmaceutical companies. And as my friend Janine Roberts (author of the very fine book “Fear of the Invisible”) says, “You can’t sue a virus.” That is, you can sue industry. If industry doesn’t want to be blamed for causing most of the ailments of the modern age, they have in their possession a ready scapegoat. A virus. Which they pay to discover and to develop vaccines for. And then you pay to be protected. But was the virus ever to blame? Was it ever really there? Back to history.
In 1909, Drs. Karl Landsteiner and Irwin Popper, hot on the trail of a “filterable virus” to blame for it all, decided to grind up some human remains and experiment with them. They got a spine and brain from a nine-year-old patient who died after becoming paralyzed. They weren’t interested in researching environmental exposures; they were virus-hunting.
They injected ounces of this ground cellular mash into monkeys; into their stomachs and then, directly into their skulls and brains. Crack, squish, plunge…ouch. They managed to paralyze one monkey and kill another. By this method, they claimed to have found the “cause of polio.”
We’re back in the land of Louis Pasteur, cutting dogs into pieces, opening their heads and putting in diseased material. It doesn’t seem to have occurred to these geniuses that if you grind up any material at all from a person, plant or thing, living or deceased, and inject ounces of it into a living creature’s stomach, you will without a doubt make it very sick and possibly kill it, depending on the dose.
And what will pumping a large syringe or three of fluid or ground solids through the skull and into the fleshy brain do? Besides death, I mean? Is paralysis on that list? Yeah, probably. Near the top. Just under, “For some reason, the subject became suddenly deceased.” Apparently nobody mentioned it to Landsteiner or Popper. Because to this day, this is considered proof that Polio is caused by a filterable virus.
Sanity
Back in the real world, a few sane doctors, like Ralph Scobey and Morton Biskind, were arguing that pesticides were responsible for the “summer plague,” as it was called, for appearing when children were eating chemicals sprayed onto orchard fruit and playing downstream from sprayed cotton fields and mills.
Both Scobey and Biskind prepared treatises to be presented to the U.S. Congress (and published in medical journals) in 1951 and ’52.
Ralph Scobey wrote a beautiful piece of research, called, “The Poison Cause of Poliomyelitis And Obstructions To Its Investigation,” in which he highlighted a recorded history of polio. Poliomyelitis, he says, has had many different names in different locations – paralysis, palsies and apoplexy. It’s a problem of chemical exposure. It’s been around since the time of Hippocrates and it reaches to the modern era.
Throughout history, all over Europe, workers, scientists and artisans exposed to the fumes of metals and chemicals developed paralysis; sometimes passing, sometimes fatal. The chemicals to blame: mercury, phosphorous, lead and arsenic. You could be exposed to a poison, and still become paralyzed a week later.
In an lab experiment, a dog was paralyzed by lead poisoning. The degeneration of the spinal cord was identical to “polio-myelitis.” (Do dogs get the polio virus? No, but they can be poisoned.) In another animal-torture study, a Russian scientist determined that nerve damage and severe poliomyelitis occurred in animals who were fed arsenic, even within a few hours of eating it.
During a polio epidemic in Australia, a researcher noticed that a fertilizer containing phosphorous – a neurotoxin – had been used widely that year. A painter using lead-containing paints died with paralysis in both legs; they did an autopsy and found the same “polio” lesions on his spinal cord.
It was recorded over and again – arsenic, carbon monoxide, lead, mercury, cyanide – chemicals used in industry, agriculture and life as it was lived, caused palsies, paralysis and death.
And then Scobey saw the bridge – and crossed it. He noted that medical injections, on the rise in the U.S. in the ’30s and ’40s, probably also causes “polio.” He cited the case of Western Samoa, 1936. Great white doctors trying to stop tropical diseases injected arsenic-containing drugs into the locals.
The result? “In one community all of the patients developed paralysis in the same lower limbs and buttocks in which they had received the injections.” (Oops!) “And this pattern was repeated in 37 other villages.” (Oops!!) “Whereas there was no paralysis in uninoculated districts.” (Uhm….oops?)
“The natives accused the injections as the cause of the epidemic of poliomyelitis. Most of the cases of paralysis occurred one to two weeks after the injection of the arsenic.”
(Well, what did they know, anyway? They weren’t doctors, after all! On the other hand, they’d probably never become paralyzed after being injected with arsenic, so you can’t fault them for applying a little logic to the situation.)
Scobey made a great argument, but the virus hunt was already on. And industry was trying something new.
Good For Me-E-E!
The chemical industries must have seen the writing on the wall for the age of arsenic, lead and (maybe not) mercury. They decided to roll out a new wonder-chemical. Something they would advertise to stop polio – and its invisible viral cause – dead in its tracks. And boy, was it a blockbuster product.
It got a big commercial push, even from the U.S. Government: “Use it to stop fleas, lice and ticks dead! And kill the flies that we think (might!) carry polio! Spray it liberally – in airliner cabins, in homes, on children! On their clothes! On their food! Spray it in clouds from trucks where mothers and children play, where farm-workers are exposed to deadly dirt from the fields! Spray it, eat it, breathe it, sleep with it!”
And people did. It was sprayed on the Philippines, it was sprayed on Philadelphia. From St. Louis to Dallas to Chicago. From Florida to New Jersey and every beach in between. And it really did work. It killed pests dead. Polio rates also skyrocketed and paralytic polio had never been higher, but, you know, nothing’s perfect.
Oh, right. I forgot to tell you the name! DDT, dichloro-diphenyl-trichloro-ethane. (Don’t try to say it without adult supervision.) It was a product of the great Monsanto company, manufacturer of PCBs, saccharin, Agent Orange and other hits. (PCB production alone has caused East St. Louis – home of Monsanto, Inc. – to be a dioxin-filled cancer-ridden toxic waste dump. So, you know, what could go wrong by letting the company loose on all of America?)
“DDT is good for Me-E-E!” went the copy from one ad, showing a mother bottle-feeding her child. Everything in view – orchards, apples, cows, their feed, their milk and the human baby drinking it, its mother, clothes, house, family and bottle – had been sprayed with DDT.
And then the major polio epidemics that we hear about – those of the early 1950s – occurred. As polio rates soared and children were dropping, a hew and cry went out for some relief from the dreaded “summer plague.” (Summer – when children at the beach were being sprayed with massive clouds of DDT. When they were eating orchard fruit, and bug spray – DDT again – was used liberally.)
Injection
The race to make a vaccine began. And here’s where I make a confession; it’s not something I had anything to do with, but it’s in the family. In fact, growing up, I was told to be proud of it. My grandfather – or so goes the family lore – did some initial work on the oral polio vaccine – the live one. He was a medical student and as part of earning a scholarship he set up a lab for Albert Sabin. I don’t know how much work, if any, he did with Sabin after that. But my grandfather, Robert C. Mellors, did spend a great deal of his career working on what came next – the hunt for a virus that could be blamed for cancer. More on that next chapter.
But even though my grandfather worked on the live vaccine, he wouldn’t let his children, or at least my mother, be a “polio pioneer.” That is, kids in public schools were being asked to volunteer to be the first trial mice for the injected vaccine – the one belonging to Jonas Salk. My grandfather said, “No, we don’t know what the effects of this thing are going to be.”
But it was Jonas Salk and his injectable wonder which won the field. He ordered monkeys from India, Asia and Africa – 17,000 of them – to be run out of the jungle, bagged, caged, caught and shipped to the United States. The monkeys were killed, their organs ripped out and used to grow…something. Albert Sabin, who produced the live oral vaccine, would mash up the kidneys of 9,000 monkeys and chimpanzees to grow his “polio” bug.
They decided that polio was caused by an ordinary stomach bug and they decided to grow “it” to turn into vaccines for all American children. And they needed living tissue to do it. This is the legacy of Pasteur, Jenner, Landsteiner and Popper. Modern medicine loves to chop up animals, leach something out of the mashed pieces and shove it into your body.
Which raises a funny question: why did the purveyors of the anti-religious, Western scientific method so deeply embrace something that even more brutally recapitulates the animal sacrifice of the ancient civilizations and is less medically-sound than voodoo? (And no, the ASPCA has no position on vaccination. Neither does PETA.)
Salk’s vaccine was released for massive public trials in 1954 and to the general public in ’55. It contained the material that he drained or siphoned out of these monkey kidney mixtures. It was filled with other chemicals (like formaldehyde), to stun or “attenuate” the virus. Or, whatever was in those brews. It was injected into hundreds of thousands of kids. And it was a great success and polio went away.
Or, that’s the picture-book version. But even the mainstream will tell you a version of the truth.
First, the polio rate exploded, especially the number of paralyzed children. Polio rates doubled, tripled and quadrupled – dozens became hundreds, following vaccination. States that had done the widest vaccination had the most cases. Massachusetts went from 273 to 2,027, after injecting 130,000 kids. The state banned the vaccine (for a moment). Numbers went up around the country: Wisconsin; 326 to 1655. Maryland; 134 to 189. New York State; 469 to 764.
The press jumped on it. What was wrong with the Salk Vaccine? The Roosevelt administration panicked. Harper’s magazine asked, “What the @#$# is going on here?” The medical authorities found a scapegoat – it wasn’t the vaccine itself. No, it was the fault of “bad batches.” The mainstream calls it “the Cutter incident.” But the program was damaged and they decided to switch to the live polio vaccine, given on a sugar cube, rather than injected directly into the blood.
But what about the chemical causes of polio? In 1950, Dr. Morton Biskind presented his thesis to the Congressional Committee. He pulled no punches:
“In rats, mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, chicks, goats, sheep, cattle, horses and monkeys, DDT produces functional disturbances and degenerative changes in the skin, liver, gall bladder, lungs, kidney, spleen, thyroid, adrenals, ovaries, testicles, heart muscle, blood vessels, voluntary muscles, the brain and spinal cord and peripheral nerves, gastrointestinal tract and blood. DDT is as lethal in repeated small doses as in larger single doses….DDT is stored in the body fat and is excreted in the milk of dogs, rats, goats and cattle and as we have shown, in that of humans too. Virtually all these effects have also repeatedly been observed in known DDT poisonings in human beings.”
Even Albert Sabin noticed the effects of DDT. He wrote that U.S. soldiers in the Philippines had a polio rate 10 times that of the mainland. What was the difference? In the tropics they were being being sprayed with DDT, to the point that it became a leading cause of death. But there was no polio outbreak among islanders who were not being sprayed.
This happens because DDT is an organochlorine neurotoxin. And that’s what it’s supposed to do – paralyze and kill. When we spray it on animals, they get polio. When we spray it on people or their food, they get polio, but worse because it triples and quadruples the number of paralytic cases. His argument was rock-solid. But nobody cared, because, well, you can’t sue a virus (but you can sue industry).
But ask the question today – as a researcher named Jim West did. How did the use and production of pesticides and DDT especially, stack up against the rate of the epidemic? West did the math, took the tablespoons and measured the amount of pesticides produced in the U.S. for the period coinciding with the major polio epidemic of the 1940s. And he found a correlation:
In each year following an increase in pesticide production comes a correlating spike in polio cases. When pesticide production goes down, you get a matching decline in polio cases.
West asks, does it matter that cows who eat feed sprayed with DDT produce milk that passes the DDT to their calves? Or that the baby cows become paralyzed and sometimes die? Or that entire schools, having consumed milk from a dairy using DDT, had a lighting-strike outbreak – a hundred or more people all at once, downed with polio?
The Re-Naming Game
But you can’t alter a madness in midstream, as the saying goes, or ought to – so the program had to continue. Money – I mean lives – were at stake. And the CDC and medical authorities devised a plan so cunning it made Albert the Cunning, of Cunningwood-on-the-Swamp, master of devious plans, champion con-artist and top cat burglar in all of the royal kingdom of Cunningham, look like an amateur slob at an open call for derelict nincompoops. (Any “Black Adder” fans out there? That was for you.)
The medical authority – our CDC, NIH and now the W.H.O. (World Health Organization) – decided that what was polio would be no more. And what would be called polio, would be a moo-cow of a different color. In order to get out of the increase in polio cases, they.. .ready?
You want to guess?
They changed the definition of polio. GOD, that’s clever. Wow. WOW! So simple, and they got us all. Sucker-punch!
We’ll just change the definition!
For the eternity of the problem of infantile paralysis, “polio” was the name given to any illness within a range of a neurological perturbance – some muscle weakness, a summer flu with tingling in the arms, a weakened limb and rarely, rarely, a flaccid or paralyzed limb, hand or part of the body. All of that was “polio.” If you had any of this for a 24-hour period, you had “polio.”
You could certainly get better – in fact, it was expected that with care (and there were lots of home remedies, more on that in a minute), you could or would get better. But even if you had it for a day, you had “polio.”
But that was no good for the numbers, which had to go down, to satisfy the medical authority. So, after 1956, polio was only one illness – severe paralysis. The majority of what had been polio just went away. It would have a new name. But we’ll get to that.
Only paralysis would count in the post-vaccine period. And not a 24 hour problem, either. No, you had to have it for.. .ready?
No, not two days.
No, not a week.
Two months.
From 24 hours, to sixty days. Overnight, polio, which was an illness that most often manifested in mild forms and went away, became an illness which had to cripple and last forever. “Polio” rates plummeted and the vaccine was publicized as a success.
Then the polio experts took a page out of ol’ Louis Pasteur’s playbook: the 15-day rule. After the vaccine was introduced, not only would polio not be “polio” unless you were sick for two months, but if you got sick within 15 days of being incepted – (do you want to finish this one?) – Yes! Then you already “had polio” and it wasn’t the vaccine’s fault. And it wouldn’t be counted as a failure. Hoorah for the vaccine!
Brilliant, huh? Or, devious or satanic or whatever adjective you’d like to use at this point.
It’s the same game that Louis Pasteur played. He destroyed animals that got sick from his injections – he hid the evidence and built his argument by excluding data. Jenner did the same thing – illness and death after injection was were called “spurious,” which somehow excused the pus-and-blood exposure and blamed, who knows? The patient? Or some “previous, unseen exposure.” They controlled the interpretation of data, so they wrote the history to reflect their great successes. Most important – nothing was never their fault. This motto became the operating manual for today’s medical priesthood, who write the official stories.
Super Monkey Ball
I want to point out one important bit of evidence which will bring us to the modern era. The “vaccine” of Edward Jenner – the pus and blood, er, “fresh lymph” had been replaced by something entirely different.
The Salk brand of vaccine would be grown in a substrate – a living cell matrix. Of what you ask?
And we’re back where we started: Ovaries. Kidneys. Testicles. Human fetal tissue. Dog, hamster, mouse organs. And of course, Salk’s 17,000 butchered monkeys. Very beautiful and smart animals, but who cares, right? He saved the world, after all.
But you can’ t just siphon off fluid and cellular detritus from animal cells – you have to mix it with chemicals, to insure that it’s stable, that it doesn’t quite rot and that it truly inflames and agitates the immune system. So the good people at Merck, Novartis, Glaxo and Bristol-Myers-Squibb have a batch of chemicals on-hand that they drip into what gets shot into your children.
Chemicals like thimerosal, for example, which is used as a stabilizer. You’ve never heard of thimerosal (thigh-mare-oh-sal), but you have heard of quicksilver. I mean, mercury. Because that’s what thimerosal is.
If you hear a ringing in your head, it’s because mercury is a deadly neurotoxin, that on its own causes paralysis and death, as has been known since the time of the ancient Greeks, as recorded in Hippocrates. (I hear your, “Amen,” Ralph Scobey.)
And then add squalene and so many chemicals; formaldehyde, tween-80, aluminum, ammonia, sucrose, MSG, phenol, aspartame and more.
This is a book of essays, not a textbook, so you should go look those up and then call your lawyer, because I think that every parent in the world whose child has been exposed to this ***** should sue these companies until they bleed black tar. But, hey, that’s just my opinion. (And you can see chapter notes for some sites to do that research.)
And that’s just about the end of the polio story. Except, what happened to all the mild polio cases? They’re still around. During the re-naming game, they got called something new. No longer polio if under 60 days, all of these mystery ailments are now go under pseudonyms: aseptic meningitis. That was the invention of the polio crowd. It is polio – non-specific partial paralysis, muscle weakness, fever and nerve issues.
Or, West Nile virus or Epstein-Barr. And the list goes on. All of these “new” viruses are about as dangerous as the bug they blamed on polio. And they did blame a stomach bug. And they eventually sort of photographed something.
They made a test for it, but medical tests aren’t ever for viruses, they are for proteins and proteins are never specific enough to show you a particular bug (more on that next chapter).
The anomalies pile up for the true believers. People around the world who were shown to “have” the polio virus never had “polio.” They were not paralyzed in any fashion. They were also not being exposed to pesticides.
On the flip side are the people around the world who do have “polio,” that is, who are suffering significant cases of childhood and adult paralysis, nerve damage and palsies – but do not test positive for the “polio” stomach bug. The medical authorities have a special designation for these people: “Non-Poliomyelitis acute flaccid paralysis,” or non-polio polio. (Gosh, they are clever, aren’t they?)
The problem with the polio bug is that it is, indeed, a stomach bug, not a blood or nervous system parasite. To this day, nobody can tell you how a common intestinal hanger-on, which leaves your body in your doo-doo and which occurs all over the world without incident, sometimes, somehow manages to cause tingling in your arm – let alone paralysis. Oh, they try to prove it. They take monkeys and rip open some part of their body. They expose nerves and inject laboratory ***** into their nervous systems. Then they delight in the fact that the monkeys no longer seem entirely healthy…
But come on. You can take a candy bar or a birthday cake, or a handful of good wishes, mash it up, inject it into a monkey’s spine or nervous system and kill it dead, fast. So, give me a break with that kind of laboratory “proof.”
But even the official version falls apart like a greek pastry given the slightest prodding. Let’s look:
The CDC (and this is repeated on the Wikipedia – the CIA factbook) tells us that the “polio” virus causes paralytic polio in exactly, precisely… drum roll please…. – .1% to .5% of people who are infected. Once more: one tenth of one percent of the time. The rest of the time, they say, it causes either no illness (98% of the time) or mild to moderate illness.
According to the official story, “polio” is the virus that causes polio – except 99.5% to 99.9% of the time. And never look at DDT, organophosphates and chlorines, or vaccination itself.
A statistician will tell you that statistics are all lies and you should buffer anything with at least a 5 to 10% margin for error. So, adding in a fair buffer for statistical error, we can fairly say that polio is the virus that causes polio, except for 104.5% of cases. It seems reasonable then to drug everybody in the world for a problem most probably caused by pesticides and heavy metals.
Animals
It might have crossed your attention that while the CDC is scaring us with notions of terrible viruses from chickens, ducks and little piglets, while assuring us that we need vaccines to protect us from these ravaging “new viruses,” they are, at the same time, injecting us with a brew of living ***** that comes from birds, dogs, rodents and aborted people.
Hey, I’m just pointing it out. Some researchers have gone so far as to say the monkey viruses in the original polio vaccines have caused terrible diseases in people who got them. And they may be right. If we’re supposed to be afraid of sneezing sheep or ducks or whatever’s next (“The snail flu is coming! The galloping snail flu!”), then we probably don’t want to be injecting ourselves with the insides of other animals.
Or, you know, forcing it upon entire nations. But, I know, I’m just kooky that way.
Free at Last
But it wasn’t all news on the polio front. One man who was ahead of even Biskind and Scobey in dealing with the problem was a Southern doctor named Fred Klenner. Klenner had an idea: “Let’s help people get better, we can worry about the cause later.” He had a favorite medication, which he injected with his large 50cc syringe. He would take ounces of this drug and inject it into the veins and arteries of patients who were suffering paralysis.
In 1949 he published a paper of his cases thus far – 60 out of 60 individuals, some with advanced and worsening cases of total, life-threatening paralysis recovered. An incredible report from the center of the polio epidemic, but there it is in the medical journal “Southern Medicine and Surgery.” And it’s not his only success with this drug.
So, what’s the drug? It’s something that works as a reducing agent – it allows the body to break apart and excrete toxic molecules like lead, metals, arsenic and other things that the body usually can’t deal with. The drug is cheap, readily available and non-toxic even in massive doses. And it’s in your broccoli, kale and oranges.
Got it?
Right. Vitamin C. Or, injected, sodium ascorbate.
It is also true that vitamin C is a chemical for making collagen, beating infections and mobilizing fifty cellular processes, It is also produced by all animals in their bodies, with the exception of monkeys, guinea pigs and we human beings. Go figure.
High-dose therapeutic levels of intravenous Vitamin C, an antitoxin, has not only reversed polio, but combined with green tea extract and selenium, has reversed and eradicated many cancers. You’d think the medical establishment would be happier about this good news. Unless, of course, they’re not really interested in that kind of thing – helping people get better with no side effects at a very low cost, I mean.
You can read about the wonders of Vitamin C in fighting and beating flus, polio, snake bites, poisoning and invasive cancers, in a number of books; I’ll recommend “Vitamin C Infectious Diseases & Toxins” by Thomas Levy. It’s wonderful stuff.

The industrial application of technology required plenty of labour. The Nazi had around 16 million slaves’ lives to expend.
That led to this: viz.

Now, if we may, we would benefit from reading he information published here:

Published in 2013 we learn the methods of “social engineering” as used by the UK government.
The UK and the “international community” has been on this course for a good while, led by the BBC and EEAS.
The aim and objective, of course is to seize the territory of the RF, by using “applied soft power”.
NATO knows well that they are out classed in the military sphere. Macron will beg the RF to stop at the river Rhine, while the dust settles.
Meanwhile “Big Pharma” is on the make: the same as I G Farben; one world, one rule, one people.
The EU is effectively the FOURTH REICH, and willing to risk all in the vain attempt to win the RF assets.
‘And it really did work. It killed pests dead. Polio rates also skyrocketed and paralytic polio had never been higher, but, you know, nothing’s perfect.’
– in todays WHO language, they tell you, its ‘benefits outweight the risk’.
so how much time do we have, bernie?! for the jabbed? and the unjabbed?! and the animals, the plants and the rocks?!
seriously, good vit C is hard to find these days…
thanks for the wonderful excerpt :)

Do you know why Putin continues to spew exactly the same kind of garbage:
https://iz.ru/1187449/2021-07-02/putin-podpisal-zakon-o-besplatnoi-vaktcinatcii-v-chastnykh-medorganizatciiakh
“Putin signed a law on free vaccination in private medical organizations.”
?
If you do not live in russia and thus not affected by ‘the law’, it does not concern you.
If you live in russia and are affected by ‘the law’, you missed you chance to talk-direct w putin.
btw, in the direct talk, putin specificaly said, vaxcination is not compulsory.
… but then again, you prob dont live in russia and really, you could not give a crap about putin or russia. Honesty?
If by chance you do give a crap about putin and/or russian, about ‘the law’, you should hand write him a letter of your concern. Nobody can help you here… w your regular-patterned expressive ‘issues’ – in this case, for today, is ‘the law’.
bwbs
If you do not live in russia and thus not affected by ‘the law’, it does not concern you.
Of course it does, it is a Global Mafia with ‘the law’ written by it..
Quote, Putin.
“You know, the things I heard: that there is nothing at all, that in reality there is no epidemic.
Sometimes I listen to what some people are saying – they seem to be grown-up, educated people.
I do not know where they are taking this from.
When you tell them that this is happening all over the world, they reply: “Right, country leaders have come into collusion.”
Do they have any idea of what is happening in the world, of the contradictions that are plaguing today’s world, where all leaders allegedly upped and conspired with each other? It is all absolute rubbish.”
Classic red herring argument from Putin both in refusing to address the fraud in the science of the establishment and refusing to address the substance in the criticisms of the fraud. Fraud so devoid of all scientific rigor that it cannot possibly be anything other than an organized psyop.
And also a red herring with his insulting of the inaccurate idea that the leading bureaucrats of the world such as himself are the ones to whom the conspiracy theorists are crediting the conspiracy. Nobody I know is doing that.
Weak sauce.
Thanks Bernie,
what a great overview – at first I thought you’d written it and I thought wow he’s good ! – and he’s gone to so much trouble, then I realised it was an excerpt :-) I had read most of it from various sources, but it’s good to have a succinct summary.
I’m alarmed at Russia’s recent embrace of vaccine proof for admittance to – everywhere, and Peskov’s statement that of course there must be discrimination between vaccinated and nonvaccinated. I note RT is recently pushing covid fear / vaccination hard. There was a medical spokesman on ( he wasn’t named as a doctor, some sort of health administrator ) who announced that people have only ever recovered from a pandemic by vaccination. ( Did stone age man have vaccines ? Was there a vaccination for black plague or for the ‘ sweat ‘ in Tudor England ? ) He went on to say it is outrageous that anyone would refuse a vaccine. This is becoming a cult and any resistance deemed heresy. I’m half expecting to hear the cry, ” burn the witch ! ”
We recently had a professor on BBC announcing boldly that the vaccine was 100% safe for children and a clinical psychologist declaring that masks and social distancing will be necessary for ever. Are these people insane ? Witty ( have you ever seen a more unhealthy looking man ) suggested schoolchildren should all be vaccinated – to prevent disruption to their education. The precautionary principle no longer exists, first do no harm has been jettisoned and there’s not even any pretence at seeking informed consent.
Interesting times.
thanks bernie for making germ theorists squirm. we’ll get them all aboard yet!
great original content of yours and a great excerpt too. regarding the sexual upheaval that of course is the result of pollution, too – most identifiably those chemicals known to be maternal endocrine disruptors that foul up the fetal terrain causing sexual consequences which are then psychologically amplified by identity politics.
bernie, thanks for the relay, the close up of animal torture in the name of helping humans get better*…. well, the same for babies and humans not even ill. People been asleep way, way too long, now they wake up and make a hue and cry when its a bit late for that. As for the present,, I am not anti vax and if it it comes to it and i am forced, why not, I am who I am. Fear is the great cat among the pigeons.
The torturers will have to suffer every second of the pain and humiliation they have inflicted. That is the wheel of karma.. but the animals,..
For anyone interested, a very good video. Ivor Cummins is an engineer who analyses all the available data on covid. Here he interviews a Professor from Croatia, ( did very well with no lockdown ). It can be listened to at 1.5 speed. I would start 40 mins in as it’s introduction / summary up to then.
https://thefatemperor.com/ep123-professor-gordon-lauc-official-pandemic-advisor-to-croatian-government-revelations/
Some conclusions reached :
– statistics misrepresented to fit narrative, i.e. fraud,
– comparison of lockdown versus no lockdown showing lockdowns yielded no benefit but multiple serious harms,
– covid 19 was lab-manipulated but not too dangerous to the healthy,
and more. Data / evidence does matter. The case presented here is I think unanswerable – if not someone needs to show equally convincing countervailing data / evidence. It’s not going to happen. The new science seems to be a case of ” we don’t need no stinking’ evidence “, as Paul Craig Roberts often observes.
Boeing 737 Engine Failure Reportedly Causes Cargo Plane to Go Down in Water Off Honolulu© Sputnik / Natalia Seliverstova

There are as yet no details as to the severity of crash and extent of the rescue operation.
A Boeing 737 cargo plane has reportedly gone down in the water off Hawaii’s capital city of Honolulu because of engine trouble, CNBC reported on 2 July.
?The incident is believed to have taken place shortly after the plane took off from Honolulu. According to the media, the pilot tried to get back to the airport, but had to land in the water. The US Federal Aviation Administration has confirmed the plane made an emergency landing with two aboard.
According to preliminary information, both crew members were rescued by the US coast guard.
Last year, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation published a report which revealed that both Boeing and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) employees worked together to manipulate recertification tests of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 after two fatal crashes that together killed a 346.
The 102-page report detailed that Boeing “inappropriately influenced FAA human factor simulator testing of pilot reaction times involving a Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) failure.”

CIA Director William Burns is currently on a visit to Colombia and Brazil. Possibly coordinating proxy regional governments in a plot against Venezuela, as done in the past, among other things, such as greenlighting a new Condor Plan.
https://www.brasilwire.com/cia-director-makes-secret-visit/
Russia, Iran and China are in the way of CIA plotting.
Venezuela’s oil is the collateral for loans to Russia and China, and the US would have to start a war against the trio of nations in order to wage a war against Venezuela.
Probably, Burns will decide just to spread dengue fever, swine flu and Covid in order to bring true democracy to Caracas. Tried and true tools of US statecraft.
Those loans by Russia and China, and also Iran’s investments in keeping Venezuela afloat, may themselves just be collateral for geopolitical horse trading among the superpowers that is to take place during the denouement. I expect the US to take control of Venezuelan oil as a result of the horse trading. And Bolivian lithium.
This weekend’s poetry roundup looks at a principle we can think of as ‘what goes in, must come out’. The poet does not wait for inspiration but moves actively toward it by studying the work of other poets, gathering ideas, snippets/tidbits, whatever may catch his attention, from as far and wide as he can. All of this then becomes grist for his mill; thinking and poring over these bits and pieces often then leads to your own poems. The following poem is inspired by three widely different sources. The first is a tanka by Hakushū Kitahara ( 1885 – 1942 );
you are leaving
on stones in this morning,
snow is falling
as crisp as
apples aroma
The title of the poem is taken from an Irish jig, and the quote, “My crown it is called content, a crown that seldom kings enjoy…” is from Shakespeare. All of these elements contribute to the poem, the final result building on top of this but expressing itself uniquely as always.
Apples In Winter
I’ll bring you apples in winter,
Kisses in spring,
Bouquets of lavender
And wreaths for your hair.
I’ll bring you songs and poems
After midsummer’s fling,
And content will be
The crown I wear.
I’ll bring you apples in winter
As crisp as snow,
With two strong arms
And legs to bear.
I’ll bring you laughter and joy
And friendship to grow,
And content will be
The crown I wear.
I’ll bring you apples in winter
Both tart and sweet,
Red, gold and green
Should you ever despair.
I’ll bring you fire at midnight
To make you complete,
And content will be
The crown I wear.
I’ll bring you apples in winter
And kisses in spring,
The fruits of high summer
And autumn so spare.
I’ll bring you bouquets and banquets,
The envy of kings…
And content will be
The crown I wear.
Taken from an unknown poet, written on the headstone of an unknown person
in an unknown graveyard…
Bring To My Grave
Bring to my grave both day and night
Lilies pink and palest white;
That I remember the scent of life
That I may forget my eternal strife.
Bring to my grave both night and day
Roses red and fine bouquets;
That I may recall midsummer’s flight,
That I may forget my endless night.
Bring to my grave both bread and fruit
The beat of the drum and the thrill of the lute;
That I may revive my voice unheard
That I may forget my days interred.
Bring to my grave day in day out,
Wine and whiskey and ale and stout;
That I may relive the fire in my head,
That I may forget that I’m long dead.
Bring to my grave year after year,
The breath of your body and the salt of your tear;
That I be reminded of your kisses fain,
That I may forget my eternal bane!
In the final instalment of this weekend’s poetry adventure, what was essentially a throwaway, has grown into a fine poem. The rule in poetry is ‘it ain’t over till it’s over’, ie; there’s always another layer to uncover. In this case, the added stanza (6) changes the mood of the poem entirely. So don’t sell yourself short, go that extra mile…you’ll know when you’re done. Best, D.
Bring To My Grave
Bring to my grave both day and night,
Lilies pink and palest white;
That I may inhale the breath of life
That I may forget my eternal strife.
Bring to my grave both night and day
Roses wrought in fine bouquets;
That I may recall midsummer’s flight,
That I may forget my eternal plight.
Bring to my grave both bread and fruit
The beat of the drum and the thrill of the lute;
That I may revive this mortal coil,
That I may forget I’ve long despoiled.
Bring to my grave day in, day out
Whiskey and wine and ale and stout;
That I may relive the fire in my head,
That I may forget I’m long since dead.
Bring to my grave year after year,
The breath of your mouth and the salt of your tear;
That I be reminded of your kisses fain,
That I may forget my eternal bane.
Bring to my grave, the wings of a bird,
That I may feel my heart be stirred;
That I may remember the freedom of skies,
That I may forget and once again rise.
Fabulous, altogether an inspiration – whole flocks of birds will be yours !
Finally someone in the Russian World is paying the West back in their own coin. It looks like Belarus is allowing Mideast immigrants to transit Belarus’s borders into the EU.Laying down the smackdown on Lithuania, I luv it. Now what they should do is allow dissident Baltic,Polish,and Ukrainian groups to shelter and operate in Belarus.Just as the EU does with Belarussian dissidents in their states. Unlike some others,they seem to realize that you have to fight fire with fire in the world we live it.

when it comes to believe systems whether it be Christian Muslim or others, it is all good on Sundays or Fridays and other special days but when covid comes one goes to the pharmacy and the prophets are forgotten. We are in the midst of an existential evolutionary crisis only a spiritual awakening can lead us forward
News from the water cooler- more accurately the local coffee cabana.
It is reported that police did a walk around yesterday of our tiny tiny pocket of shops. Fining people not wearing masks. Outdoors in the street. Miles and miles from suburbia. You cannot not social distance here.
Come home. Re check the mandates. Masks only required indoors. It’s been public transport for a year. But now it’s All locations, businesses, retail etc. But only indoors. Not outside.
Hmmm.
So now they are policing laws that don’t even exist.
Oh. And we are not a “one horse town”.
There were two in the Main Street at lunch time when I did a coffee run.
I wonder if the cops think you have to wear a mask when you ride?
When the “orders” came to keep 2 meter/ 6 feet away from one another, masks or not, in the beginning I tentatively accepted this as perhaps rational. I didn’t obey, but I considered it.
The wind blows.
I wondered, what wind speed was assumed in the presumed calculation that the “virus” died in air very quickly. Let us assume, I said to myself, a nice ordinary breezy air of 6 MPH / 10 kmh… (this remains undefined today) (I know, viruses are not living and thus cannot die, say “degraded past significance”)
Now lets assume that an “infected carrier spewing “killer virus” coughs and sneezes while I ride my motorcycle behind him at 60 MPH (88 feet per second, roughly)…I am blasted with germs, just as I have been for nearly 80 years…
Obvious the “requirement” and the masks, have nothing to do with protecting anybody. Obvious that there was no such calculation.
Obvious too, viruses enter through eyes, ask rabies sufferers who explore caves…
Obvious mask are symbolic of obedience and silence, nothing more, nothing less.
Riding horses? They harbor tetanus! Run fer yer lives! (neighbor just got gangrene from compound fracture created by horse kick, and curated by incompetent or evil “medical” at local Quackhouse “hospital”…pretty lady too, she’ll be lucky to keep the arm). The gangrene cost her $6,500 at the quacks, mountains more to fix.
WW, my heart goes out to you, whadda a trap.
(We still have a blacksmith! @ Anoxia, and itinerant farriers. Coal is impossible to buy, however.)
I would recall that the esteem in which the people see their government is essential to the ability to govern. In the example the government despises the people and liquidates all esteem, thus liquidates authority….that is state suicide and preamble to violence, as when lies fail, violence arrives. Friend, keep carefully safe. I recall a Canadian fella saying he was unable to turn in his guns, as they regrettably fell out of the canoe…that was terrible. He was ever so ashamed.

I must honestly admit I haven’t read much into the Myanmar coup.
Possibly stupid question: was it the USA that staged it? (Apologies in advance)

Here’s a reasonable assessment of Myanmar
https://journal-neo.org/2020/06/29/us-loses-myanmar-to-china/
Some background:
Ain San suii kyi is a CIA asset.
George Soros has invested billions in Myanmar
Myanmar is key in the Chinese BRI
The CIA instigated the Rohingya civil unrest a few years back to thwart the BRI.
While you are reading at New Eastern Outlook include these.
Or just put Myanmar in their search and a bunch of good background articles are there.
https://journal-neo.org/2021/04/26/sleepwalking-into-washingtons-next-regime-change-crisis-myanmar/
Excerpt: The crisis in Southeast Asia’s Myanmar continues to grow following the February 2021 military-led ousting of US-backed Aung San Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy (NLD) party.
Violence between US-backed opposition groups joined with US-armed and trained ethnic rebels and the central government has become the focus of the Western media as well as Western government themselves.
Just as was the case in Libya in 2011, the US government, the Western media, and a global network of US-funded fronts posing as rights groups and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are attempting to make the case for intervening in Myanmar – first through sanctions and then eventually through the recognition of and providing direct support to a US-backed parallel government and the armed groups fighting on its behalf.
The goal of destabilizing Myanmar mirrors similar campaigns of propaganda, violence, and instability in China’s Xinjiang region, Balochistan in Pakistan, and virtually everywhere else China’s One Belt, One Road development project is active – to encircle China with chaos and contain China’s rise upon the international stage………

A spiritual understanding of life, of being human, of all that there is on earth and in the cosmos, that this is the only future and way forward, I think many people sense, even if not knowing how to even begin to realize how tis might work, how to find it, and where to start looking!
The more insistent and urgent the call to an awakening becomes, the greater the opposition, the more desperate the forces of evil to subvert, confuse and create fear, and the more does egotism fanfare, and petty tyranny strut about and display itself.
Meanwhile, there is is that God-given sanctuary of peace and harmony as an inner rock, that we have fight for, uphold and sustain while on the path with others.
It all begins at home, and spreads from there… and I don’t mean no virus….
yes I fully endorse this.

I agree with what you have written Tuppence. It is a great tragedy that many don’t know how to find it and where to start looking.
Although I hold a low opinion of wsws in terms of intellectual rationality, which necessarily become irrational when served with ideology instead of morality, the site proffers now an interesting page “Eighty years since the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union”…which, in consideration of the big Putin interaction or Imperial Audience (see “Putin Talks to Nation” @ unz – where a link to English text of entire affair is to be found) In such consideration the WSWS page is highly relevant. https://www.wsws.org/en/special/pages/nazi-invasion-soviet-union-operation-barbarossa.html
Unz author I. Shamir, “… Russia came into being as a chain of Nordic princedoms that practiced this sort of direct access to their ruler; early Russian princes and Tsars posed themselves as an instance of last appeal and immediate access. Twenty years ago, Vladimir Putin resurrected this ancient practice…”
I. S. expects OTAN is resolved to plant flag on Crimea no matter what.
Nazipirates don’t leave until ship sunk. Evidently empire asks opponent partner for persuasion. Empire probably will then appreciate it when ship sunk, then have reason to leave Black Sea. Whether or not imperial geniuses realize it yet is irrelevant…VVP points at door…
Captain Ron gets away https://youtu.be/tr82gPYI24I (enjoy!)
Well, I’d submit that Shamir is failing to connect two dots thus far.
First dot, which followed Shamir’s quoting Putin’s triad of red herrings as Amarynth posted upthread, is this:
“It is indeed a strong argument: is it possible to imagine a collusion of Kim Jong-un and Khamenei with Netanyahu and Biden? President Putin is perfectly able to enter some agreement, but there are states and leaders who would never do. What would say our Mike Whitney? Would they all agree to vaccine that can kill their citizens?”
Second dot is this:
“This will be in line with Putin’s usual modus operandi: conform to the existing paradigm, roll with the punches and pull in as much for Russia as you can. Currently there seems to be only one game in town, one that is played by the Covid masters, big pharma, the digital giants, the IMF and orchestrated by the Rockefeller foundation. Putin does not want to fight against this extraordinary force; he thinks Russia can manage within the rules they set.”
Um, earth to Shamir! Lol. Power corrupts; if Putin washes his hands with soap for reasons other than to get petrochemicals off of them, then he is probably going to go along with the plandemic.
It’s extremely shrewd of Putin — and capable — to cast himself in the role of a democratically elected benevolent dictator. A democratically elected benevolent dictator: fancy that! There’s an old anarchist saying that the next best thing to anarchism is a benevolent dictator, and while it’s true on the face of it and when considering the alternatives, benevolence, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, and a singular conception of it when superimposed on diverse existences quickly becomes an impossible juggling act, a fool’s errand. Bigness is the chief cause of all misery, someone said.
I was happy to see Shamir cottoning to the Ukraine dynamic. I too expect Ukraine to return to Russian control when the dust from the stampede at the horse trade settles. What was stole comes unstole. The Ukraine is the US’ greatest piece of collateral vis a vis the Russia trade. The Venezuela chip probably depended on it. Venezuelan oil may have the lowest production costs in the world. It’s the oil analog to the Ukrainian best farmland analog.
Yes, generally I agree. Well said.
We’ll see about Venezuela. I have no brief to express about their fate, but I don’t expect them to surrender or accept suzerain occupation. Just my unstudied opinion about V.
They may have to fight more.
In late ’41 the probable defeat of axis nazi agents was visible, imho, but certainly by mid ’42.
Similarly today…the utter defeat of nazis is quite probable, and explains their silly and futile, criminal, stridency.
I expect V oil to belong to V people until it’s gone. Is faith. And calculus.
I hear you. It will help Venezuela accept the situation when the denouement Ends The Fed, the IMF, the World Bank, and the BIS – as we currently know them, anyway, in the process of the US turning NS itself, which is essentially what Venezuela is with its nationalized oil and its socialist economy. The US would rebuild the oil infrastructure in exchange for perennial food aid, military protection, and an extremely favorable bilateral trade deal wink wink nudge nudge.
What have been the two greatest, most divisive global fear-tactic manoeuvres of the 21c?
We know, and still getting to grips with the second one.
The first one was the bank bailouts of the GFC.

That’s one cool cat right there.
I expect them to drop the anti-gun push in the US. doing so will be one of the big reunifiers of the country under NS. having an armed black group of constitutional nerds taking a seemingly random stand against the Man, in the wake of armed white posses being allowed by the Man to conspicuously carrying arms throughout 2020, could lay the groundwork for the liberal youth to come to terms with the second amendment. A continent-spanning country that can politice itself is an efficiency gain. And these young black men are explicitly pro-government. Shrewd. And convenient for the government, too. Tucker’s gonna jump all over this.

Vaccine Shedding.
“There has been considerable chatter on the Internet about the possibility of vaccinated people causing disease in unvaccinated people in close proximity.
While this may seem hard to believe, there is a plausible process by which it could occur through the release of exosomes from dendritic cells in the spleen containing misfolded spike proteins, in complex with other prion reconformed proteins. These exosomes can travel to distant places.
It is not impossible to imagine that they are being released from the lungs and inhaled by a nearby person. Extracellular vesicles, including exosomes, have been detected in sputum, mucus, epithelial lining fluid, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in association with respiratory diseases (Lucchetti et al., 2021) “.
“Nature described a case of serious COVID-19 disease in a cancer patient who was taking immune-suppressing cancer chemotherapy drugs (Kemp et al., 2021). The patient survived for 101 days after admission to the hospital, finally succumbing in the battle against the virus.
The patient constantly shed viruses over the entire 101 days, and therefore he was moved to a negative-pressure high air-change infectious disease isolation room, to prevent contagious spread.”
Reference https://ijvtpr.com/index.php/IJVTPR/article/view/23/51
Indeed so. see “Marek’s disease (MD) is a highly contagious viral neoplastic disease in chickens. The disease is characterized by the presence of T cell lymphoma as well as infiltration of nerves and organs by lymphocytes. Organs that are commonly affected include the ovary, spleen, liver, kidneys, lungs, heart, proventriculus and adrenals.This is a Marek’s disease acase report in 32weeks layer with the following post-mortem findings:moderately emaciation, areas of whitish nodules on the kidney, liver and spleen, varying from 2-8mm in diameter, liver and spleen severely enlarged, moderate enlargement of sciatic nerve and kidneys. Histopathologically there were necrosis and desquamation of the hepatocytes with severe lymphocytic infiltration and lymphocytic infiltration of the spleen….” https://www.arcjournals.org/pdfs/ajavs/v7-i1/1.pdf
“Over the past fifty years, Marek’s disease—an illness of fowl—has become fouler. Marek’s is caused by a highly contagious virus, related to those that cause herpes in humans. It spreads through the dust of contaminated chicken coops, and caused both paralysis and cancer. In the 1970s, new vaccines brought the disease the under control. But Marek’s didn’t go gently into that good night. Within ten years, it started evolving into more virulent strains, which now trigger more severe cancers and afflict chickens at earlier ages….” https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/leaky-vaccines-enhance-spread-of-deadlier-chicken-viruses
But the fascist junta cares about the people and has a celestial mandate from Heaven, don’t they?
It may well be that our fates have been set – and that we are the chickens…. (this is a term in pervert sodomite lexicon, and that meaning may be relevant)
I’ll wait and see, Looks like extension of 1952 germwar. Naturally for the verybest of goal, characteristic of fascist regime to say ends justify method. Well, who would object?
and if human eats those chicken? what happend then?
People eat chickens then, and now. The claim is, I think, that since 100% chicken die w/o leaky vaccine, ( generally the corpses get “recycled” into feed for chickens), and the living chickens, all “vaccinated”, wind up being eaten.
That what happened then, and is happening now, I think.
What’s interesting is that we are the “chickens”, and those people “vaccinated” with leaky “vaccines” are said to be curating in their bodies increasingly virulent gain of function virus, such that the “unvaccinated” are liable to die, and the vaccinated too are liable to die early.
I do not think they plan to eat us, but they might. They’re crazy enough.
(I can’t die early, it’s too late for that! I have seen this rodeo since Truman was installed to prevent Wallace and enable using the bomb and smash Russia – (the big big plan failed, evidently))
(searchterm> “queer jargon “chicken”… yeah, we’re the chickens alright and gettin’ screwxd. )
Viruses travelling through the air being breathed in and entering cells is the germ theory religion. No method to track that full path exists so we might as well call viruses exosomes.
In a similar fashion, how are these exosomes proven to be able to to travel to “distant places” – it sounds like another newer religion?
if corona chan cannot fly in the air, then they can run on surface or swim under water.
the experts, the gov, the ultra rich ppl said so.
religion? science? same same.
why are you questioning so much here?!

Anon,
Horizontal/Lateral gene transfer is well established, whereby exosomal strands of proteins and nucleic acids preserved in fats travel between organisms all the time. This process constitutes the vast majority of evolution, which is a living process; biogenesis, in a word. Darwin’s false conception of mutating vertical gene transfer as all of evolution is upside-down. Vertical gene transfer is just replication, by and large.
Virology is not stupid in and of itself. Virology is just a misunderstanding of exosomal dynamics die to cultural stupidity. Exosomes fo enter cells, all the time. Entering cells is one of their main reasons for being. Over half of the human genome is believed to be comprised of exosomal protein chains not of human origin.
The idea of “Marek’s Disease” is not stupid in and of itself insofar as it is an accurate description of a set of symptoms common to cohabitating chickens, that seemingly spreads from one bird to the next. What’s stupid is the idea that a miniscule, inert particle full of I’ll will that has been named ‘virus’ can cause this disease. The idea that a non-living microscopic strand of protein can ‘do’ anything at all is the stupidity; when the kindergarten teacher asks his students if a rock can open a can of tuna the children shout “no!” in unison – and they are correct.
What is happening, more or less, with the chickens is the result of everything awful that has happened to them.
If they are layers then they have been intensively bred for centuries to produce ten times more eggs than they normally would, and this comes at a great cost to their general genetic robustness. If they are meat chickens they have been intensively bred to grow ten times faster and put on several times more muscle tissue than they normally would, and this also comes at great cost. That’s the awfulness of what their bloodlines were subjected to, that they get born into. The genetic baggage of a very dark past.
In life they are also abused, with grain-based vegetarian diets, chronic mold and dust issues in commercial feed, gmo ingredients, herbicides, overcrowding, lack of physical excercise, artificial light for production purposes, subject to anaerobic habitats inside and out, even in backyard operations.
Their intelligent bodies are unconsciously signalling these abuses to each other all the time, so that they can try and make beneficial physiological adjustments. So they can adapt to these negative ecological pressures. Since the chickens in the same flock are all in it together under the same circumstances, when cumulative health issues come to a head it only stands to reason that an important group of exosomes will get produced in large numbers, first for internal intercellular communication purposes in one or more birds, but then these messages will begin to be exchanged between birds and so it becomes THE big message saying that we’re in a health crisis and we need to try and do something about it.
And the doing something about it takes a physical toll, especially amongst a bunch of hypercontrolled, downtrodden birds that have almost zero control over the essentials of their existence, and can’t change the circumstances that have made them sick in the first place. They’re f**ked.
And the human comes along to sublimate the human abuse of the birds by deflecting their attention away from the root causes and deciding a virus is to blame, and at most simplistically making efforts to control the dust in the environment.
And the corporate scientist comes along and pinpoints that important group of exosomes the sick birds are producing, and creates a synthetic version of it and combines it with some toxic adjuvants and delivers that vaccine to birds not in a health crisis and the vaccine synthetically teaches the birds bodies — because of the adjuvants — to suppress that exosome if they ever come across it. Problem solved says the scientist! We have eradicated Marek’s Disease!
Smoke and mirrors.
antere, your description of the life of chickens remind me in an unpleasant way about ourselves. How dare you.
Right on Tomsen that’s about the size of it.
“This process constitutes the vast majority of evolution, which is a living process; biogenesis”
Yes, I was aware of exosome intercellular communication “theory” (I should really have added “and causing illness” to the end of my original “entering cells is the germ theory” statement to be clearer).
Here is an article excerpt which leaves me in wonderment:
https://www.quantamagazine.org/cells-talk-in-a-language-that-looks-like-viruses-20180502/
When Pastuzyn looked up the DNA sequence of Arc in GenBank (the NIH’s depository for all gene sequences), she discovered that the predicted structure of Arc most closely resembled that of Gag, a protein that forms a retrovirus’s capsid shell, which is subsequently encased in a host-derived lipid membrane.
Gag isn’t the only culprit, either. What researchers have come to realize is that sometime millions of years ago, part of a retrovirus genome inserted itself into its host’s DNA, and that sequence was then passed on to countless generations of offspring. Around 8 percent of the human genome is ultimately derived from viruses. Although some of this DNA is, in fact, “junk,” scientists are learning that much of it plays a role in our biology.
For the host, these viral genes provide a genetic junk drawer full of nuts and bolts for evolution to play with. Evolution, Shepherd says, is the ultimate MacGyver, referring to the 1980s TV hero who could defuse a bomb with bubble gum and a paper clip. It doesn’t invent things outright in an insomnia-fueled burst of creativity. Instead, evolution tinkers, cobbling together inventive solutions out of the spare parts at hand.
“Although these viruses aren’t good for individuals, they provide the raw materials for new genes,” Shepherd says. “They’re a potential gold mine.”
In the case of Arc, the Gag-derived viral gene gave mammals a ready-made delivery device that could be packaged in an extracellular vesicle. A retrovirus packages RNA and moves it out of the cell, Feschotte said. “Arc has preserved many of these same functions.”
I wonder,
1. On what basis did they conclude that millions of years ago that “part of a retrovirus genome inserted itself into its host’s DNA” rather than that part of an exosome genome was inserted into the host DNA?
2. On what basis did Shepherd ever conclude that these “viruses” aren’t good for individuals?
On the other hand we have:

IAV (Influenza A Virus) identification workflows
Once samples have been collected, the workflow for virus identification may proceed in several ways (Figure 1). The ‘gold standard’ for IAV identification is virus culture in embryonated chicken eggs or mammalian cells, followed by a positive result in an HA assay, and subsequent verification of IAV in HA-positive samples by use of a more specific assay, such as RT-PCR analysis of genomic viral RNA
and:
https://biosignaling.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12964-021-00730-1
Recognising exosome heterogeneity is essential to determine their content, functional role and to allow better EV differentiation. Currently isolation methods such as ultracentrifugation, size exclusion, immunoaffinity isolation coupled with analysis methods such as nanoparticle tracking, electron microscopy, flow cytometry and western blots are employed for exosome generation and characterisation [2]. Employment of global and targeted proteomics further aids this process [2]. However, lack of standardisation of these methods has led to substantial overlap in protein profiles of isolated EVs. Lack of specific or universal markers for EVs particularly for MVs and exosomes also complicates their differentiation
So, at the minute, a sizeable cohort doubt that the RT-PCR test (for IAV, SARS-CoV-2, any “virus”) has identification test validity (including Kary Mullis https://www.bitchute.com/video/I34oouXAb7Dj/) and the lack of specific/universal markers for exosomes appears to put that test in the same category there too.
It seems we are left looking at electron microscope images which can see things of tens of nanometres diameter but not readily otherwise differentiable and yet lots of inferences about “viruses” being the cause of illness and inference of “exosomes” carrying data in/out of cells but the only real difference being a magical incantation that “exosomes” cannot self-replicate while “viruses” can.
I somehow get the feeling that everything is smoke and mirrors with a fair dose of B/S thrown in too. – 2D data on the event horizon.
Awesome Anon. Thanks for pressing your point. I can only respond very briefly here as family just arrived for a visit and will have to come back to it. Hopefully others here are also interested in pursuing where your line of thought is taking us.
2D data on the event horizon. nice!
The expression ‘smoke and mirrors’ connotes a deception, and entails trickery employed in service of selfishness. Therefore I would submit that high-tech Big Science research explorations into proteomics and ‘biogenesis’ in and of itself is an earnest attempt to understand the wholistic dynamics of the symbiotic relationship between energy and consciousness. Can these explorations be weaponized? Absolutely. They are being and will be. That’s why they get funded in the first place. The truth is a double-edged sword.
Am I creating a story in my previous comment on chickens? Yes. And that’s okay, that’s what we do. No story, no culture. Nihilism comes from two conditions – lack of story or belief in a false story.
If a story cannot be falsified then it is a working story subject to future falsification and that is good enough. The more the story is developed without falsification the better the culture that arises put of that story because the more bulletproof is the truth. The more bulletproof is the truth the more more simple to grock is the truth, and the more universally is it’s adoption in a society. The more universal the adoption is the stronger and more high functioning is the society.
Gotta run.
I must have posted this in the wrong place. This is the right place. Ignore me in the other place. Sometimes one has to beat up the technology and sometimes it beats up one. But this is the right place.

I’m just stepping back a moment .. to those that advocate infanticide – and I’m wondering who takes that decision. Who takes the decision to kill babies as it is considered that there are too many. Considered by who … who takes that decision? Nobody picked it up at the time as far as I know, but I’ve been busy. Anybody – infanticide as a story OK with you?
Well, clearly it is not OK with me. A rock is conscious but does not know it has consciousness. A human is conscious, and actually knows it has consciousness. Careful of these chicken stories unless you’re OK with the killing of your old, and killing of your young, because somebody decides. Take a step back in this story being woven here and read the words carefully.
amarynth,
I don’t imagine that anyone has ever advocated for infanticide… nice try…
infanticide is also not a story. cultural stories are narratives of cumulative working truths resulting from the mature pattern recognition of living societies of people. infanticide was not a structural approach; it was an abject failure of a society and a deeply shameful occurrence. obviously. no doubt there was a inverse relationship between the quality of the animist society and the frequency of infant neglect.
infanticide entailed no killing event. it was the mother and the father wearing the infant on their chests until the child’s battery wore down. sometimes the child was in a basket under a blanket in the corner of the room. the idea that infanticide was rooted in carelessness and brutality is a supremacist idea; on the contrary; it’s reality was based on failure; who here has not failed?
every one of us here fail the sustainability test every day yet we want to look down upon the occasional failure of sustainability that is infant neglect. since the plandemic began a quarter million excess southeast asian infant members of the global economy have died, but not european or Chinese or Russian or American infants, due to economic dislocation. Those deaths are our failures at sustainability, too, because we are all connected in the same economy. To think that we wealthy folks are not structurally complicit in that mass death of infants due to the global society’s neglect of them is pure NIMBYism – is pure Dunbar’s Number at work.
in animist societies the parents ultimately decided on the infant’s neglect. obviously there were explicit, formal conversations across the tribe prior to any infant neglect as a peoples were struggling with looming overshoot in their local ecologies they were problem solving for ways to ameliorate the conditions. conversations about a disciplined practicing the rythmn method of birth control, etc. to conceive a child under those circumstances would have naturally been a clear and major violation of the social contract. actions have consequences. women of reproductive age living together all generally menstruate and ovulate together, so under the social prohibition there would have been a week every month during which intercourse was off limits. they weren’t stupid, and hewing to that prohibition isn’t THAT hard.
if the mother and father refused the consensus decision that infant neglect was warranted then they we free to leave, and anybody else who agreed with the parents were free to leave. these are voluntary societies after all.
such is Life.
Tomsen,
Its a very old phenomenon which was designated as ‘vaccinosis’. People in close contact with those vaccinated developed symptoms of the disease, for example mothers passed on their symptoms, post vaccination, onto their children.
Did somebody say masks? Or was it in the chaos over there that is greater than the Cafe chaos. Anyway, this is the only mask study that I ever found worthwhile. If you do not know who Nassim Nicholas Taleb is, look it up first.

sorry Amarynth there are several mask studies and several bad effects of wearing masks.
Ask the kids, when I tell them they can take off their mask” joupie” and the smile returns.
bernie, I’m not advocating anything. I said it is the only one that has ever made sense to me. I have peace with what people decide for themselves.
If virus or vaccine are shedding or jumping through sweat or breath, it makes sense to wear mask and make some distance to me.
you can read the conclusions if you do not want to read the whole paper.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7680614/
Conclusion
The existing scientific evidences challenge the safety and efficacy of wearing facemask as preventive intervention for COVID-19. The data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks. Wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse physiological and psychological effects. These include hypoxia, hypercapnia, shortness of breath, increased acidity and toxicity, activation of fear and stress response, rise in stress hormones, immunosuppression, fatigue, headaches, decline in cognitive performance, predisposition for viral and infectious illnesses, chronic stress, anxiety and depression. Long-term consequences of wearing facemask can cause health deterioration, developing and progression of chronic diseases and premature death. Governments, policy makers and health organizations should utilize prosper and scientific evidence-based approach with respect to wearing facemasks, when the latter is considered as preventive intervention for public health.
this is another study
Arthur Firstenberg on facial masks:
As a person who went to medical school, I was shocked when I read Neil Orr’s study, published in 1981 in the Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
Dr. Orr was a surgeon in the Severalls Surgical Unit in Colchester. And for six months, from March through August 1980, the surgeons and staff in that unit decided to see what would happen if they did not wear masks during surgeries.
They wore no masks for six months, and compared the rate of surgical wound infections from March through August 1980 with the rate of wound infections from March through August of the previous four years.
And they discovered, to their amazement, that when nobody wore masks during surgeries, the rate of wound infections was less than half what it was when everyone wore masks.
Their conclusion: “It would appear that minimum contamination can best be achieved by not wearing a mask at all” and that wearing a mask during surgery “is a standard procedure that could be abandoned.”
I was so amazed that I scoured the medical literature, sure that this was a fluke and that newer studies must show the utility of masks in preventing the spread of disease.
But to my surprise the medical literature for the past forty-five years has been consistent: masks are useless in preventing the spread of disease and, if anything, are unsanitary objects that themselves spread bacteria and viruses.
• Ritter et al., in 1975, found that “the wearing of a surgical face mask had no effect upon the overall operating room environmental contamination.”
• Ha’eri and Wiley, in 1980, applied human albumin microspheres to the interior of surgical masks in 20 operations. At the end of each operation, wound washings were examined under the microscope. “Particle contamination of the wound was demonstrated in all experiments.”
• Laslett and Sabin, in 1989, found that caps and masks were not necessary during cardiac catheterization. “No infections were found in any patient, regardless of whether a cap or mask was used,” they wrote. Sjøl and Kelbaek came to the same conclusion in 2002.
• In Tunevall’s 1991 study, a general surgical team wore no masks in half of their surgeries for two years. After 1,537 operations performed with masks, the wound infection rate was 4.7%, while after 1,551 operations performed without masks, the wound infection rate was only 3.5%.
• A review by Skinner and Sutton in 2001 concluded that “The evidence for discontinuing the use of surgical face masks would appear to be stronger than the evidence available to support their continued use.”
• Lahme et al., in 2001, wrote that “surgical face masks worn by patients during regional anesthesia, did not reduce the concentration of airborne bacteria over the operation field in our study. Thus they are dispensable.”
• Figueiredo et al., in 2001, reported that in five years of doing peritoneal dialysis without masks, rates of peritonitis in their unit were no different than rates in hospitals where masks were worn.
• Bahli did a systematic literature review in 2009 and found that “no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative wound infection was observed between masks groups and groups operated with no masks.”
• Surgeons at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, recognizing the lack of evidence supporting the use of masks, ceased requiring them in 2010 for anesthesiologists and other non-scrubbed personnel in the operating room. “Our decision to no longer require routine surgical masks for personnel not scrubbed for surgery is a departure from common practice. But the evidence to support this practice does not exist,” wrote Dr. Eva Sellden.
• Webster et al., in 2010, reported on obstetric, gynecological, general, orthopedic, breast and urological surgeries performed on 827 patients. All non-scrubbed staff wore masks in half the surgeries, and none of the non-scrubbed staff wore masks in half the surgeries. Surgical site infections occurred in 11.5% of the Mask group, and in only 9.0% of the No Mask group.
• Lipp and Edwards reviewed the surgical literature in 2014 and found “no statistically significant difference in infection rates between the masked and unmasked group in any of the trials.” Vincent and Edwards updated this review in 2016 and the conclusion was the same.
• Carøe, in a 2014 review based on four studies and 6,006 patients, wrote that “none of the four studies found a difference in the number of post-operative infections whether you used a surgical mask or not.”
• Salassa and Swiontkowski, in 2014, investigated the necessity of scrubs, masks and head coverings in the operating room and concluded that “there is no evidence that these measures reduce the prevalence of surgical site infection.”
• Da Zhou et al., reviewing the literature in 2015, concluded that “there is a lack of substantial evidence to support claims that facemasks protect either patient or surgeon from infectious contamination.”
Schools in China are now prohibiting students from wearing masks while exercising. Why? Because it was killing them. It was depriving them of oxygen and it was killing them. At least three children died during Physical Education classes — two of them while running on their school’s track while wearing a mask. And a 26-year-old man suffered a collapsed lung after running two and a half miles while wearing a mask.
Mandating masks has not kept death rates down anywhere. The 20 U.S. states that have never ordered people to wear face masks indoors and out have dramatically lower COVID-19 death rates than the 30 states that have mandated masks. Most of the no-mask states have COVID-19 death rates below 20 per 100,000 population, and none have a death rate higher than 55. All 13 states that have death rates higher 55 are states that have required the wearing of masks in all public places. It has not protected them.

The art of poetry, is deceptive! It is a double dealer, as it has managed by the grace of God to clothe itself in garments as an ornament to be tolerated but without serious use, and for which we can be eternally grateful.
Alexander Pushkin was highly politically aware, creating a unique, Russian art in his dramatic verse plays, and did so by concealing historical truth, and in various ways, which if understood, witness his unrivalled genius.
First of all, Pushkin did a lot of research for one play. He read earlier, and contemporary documents, wrote letters, dug deep into every source available, and there were many, to arrive at the whole picture surrounding historical truth, and his dramas contain all of this, sometimes overt, others marvellously hidden.
The drama Boris Godunov, in the past many times censored, (is there a future for culture even to be censored >?) – is a good example of all the above, and more…. You can still by the plays, if so, different translations are advised, with as many historical notes as possible included.
Here ‘s the chronicler Pimen in his cell, (Mussorgsky’s opera is another version), who will record the narrative of events, and whose words indicate their future significance:
PIMEN (Writing in front of a sacred lamp.)
One more, the final record, and my annals
Are ended, and fulfilled the duty laid
By God on me a sinner.
Not in vain
Hath God appointed me for many years
A witness, teaching me the art of letters;
A day will come when some laborious monk
Will bring to light my zealous, nameless toil,
Kindle, as I, his lamp, and from the parchment
Shaking the dust of ages will transcribe
My true narrations, that posterity
The bygone fortunes of the orthodox
Of their own land may learn, will mention make
Of their great tsars, their labours, glory, goodness–
And humbly for their sins, their evil deeds,
Implore the Saviour’s mercy.–In old age
I live anew; the past unrolls before me.–
Did it in years long vanished sweep along,
Full of events, and troubled like the deep?
Now it is hushed and tranquil. Few the faces
Which memory hath saved for me, and few
The words which have come down to me;–the rest
Have perished, never to return.–But day
Draws near, the lamp burns low, one record more,
The last. (He writes.)
From a Russian friend talking about Serbian-Russian friendship:
In 1914, the very existence of Serbia as a state was at stake. On July 11, Austria presented the Serbian government with an ultimatum that was completely unacceptable for an independent state. On the same day, Sovereign Emperor Nicholas II received a telegram from the Serbian prince-regent Alexander. It said: “We cannot defend ourselves. Therefore, we pray Your Majesty to help us as soon as possible … We firmly hope that this appeal will find a response in your Slavic and noble heart. ”
Three days later, the Russian Emperor sent a reply to Serbia. “As long as there is the slightest hope of avoiding bloodshed,” he wrote, “all our efforts should be directed towards this goal. If, contrary to our sincere desires, we do not succeed in this, Your Highness can be sure that in no case will Russia remain indifferent to the fate of Serbia. ”
In a return telegram, the prince Alexander wrote: “The difficult times cannot but seal the bonds of deep affection, which Serbia is connected with the holy Slavic Russia, and feelings of eternal gratitude for the help and protection of Your Majesty will be sacredly kept in the hearts of all Serbs.”
On July 15, Austria declared war on Serbia. She subjected Belgrade to artillery shelling, as a result of which many civilians were killed. In response to this, Russia carried out a partial mobilization, a few days later – a general one. Austria had to transfer most of its troops to the eastern front, and thus Serbia was saved. The Serbian people call the Sovereign Emperor Nicholas II their savior.
The meaning of the War of 1914, which is not clear to many, is questioned by many, is explained by the Russian sacrifice for the Serbs with all its evangelical clarity and certainty. For the motive of selflessness, the spiritual need for sacrifice for the sake of one’s neighbor, isn’t this a striving for the Kingdom of Heaven?
Opposite the Iverskaya Chapel in the Russian cemetery in Belgrade – a monument to Emperor Nicholas II and two million Russian soldiers who laid down their heads during the First World War; among them – a detachment of prisoners of war who refused to load shells sent to the Russian front. The monument is an artillery shell, on top of which there is a winged Angel with a sword in his hand, just below the Angel is the coat of arms of the Russian Empire, and even lower, at the foot, is a Russian officer.
Russia and Serbia are one whole. In recent years, the world “behind the scenes” took up arms first against the Serbs, and then against us. World evil strives with all its might to bring the coming of the Antichrist closer. He is already, one might say, at the door, all he has to do is cross the threshold. However, he will not do this as long as Orthodoxy shines, as long as the faith of our peoples is alive. When we are alone, when we are each on our own, then the enemy can easily overcome us, but when we unite (first of all, prayerfully), when we feel each other’s shoulder, when we acutely experience our pains and wounds, then the enemy will be powerless.
It would be appropriate to tell about one historical fact that has been unjustly forgotten and which every Russian person should know.
At one of the meetings with the ambassadors of European countries (this happened in the mid-80s of the 19th century), Sovereign Emperor Alexander III made the famous toast: “I drink to the health of my only friend, Prince Nicholas of Montenegro!” The next day, these winged words became known to the whole world.
There are two important points to note in this story. Firstly, this wonderful toast was voiced not in the circle of the Tsar’s Family, not in the circle of close friends and associates of the Tsar, but at a meeting with well-known diplomats of European countries. The Tsar was not worried about the resonance that this toast would cause – Russia at that time was so great and powerful that the Tsar could not pay attention to such trifles. And, secondly, both in the last century and in the present, true friends of Russia could only be in Serbia and Montenegro.
In 1936, when laying the Temple-Monument to the Royal Family in Brussels, the Serbian Metropolitan Dositheus, speaking on behalf of His Holiness Patriarch Barnabas, said: “Serbia honors the Sovereign Emperor Nicholas II as a saint, and at the Council of Serbian Bishops it was not so long ago to raise the issue about the canonization of the Tsar-Martyr Nicholas II among the saints of the Serbian Church. In two newly-built churches in Serbia, the Tsar-Martyr Nikolai Alexandrovich is depicted on the icon as a saint. ”
Soon the Second World War broke out, as a result of which Yugoslavia was invaded by the communists and the Serbian Orthodox Church itself was enslaved by the godless government.
Let us give examples that speak of the veneration of the Tsar-Martyr Nicholas II by the Orthodox Serbs.
In 1925, an unusual article appeared in the Serbian press. It spoke of a vision of an elderly Serb woman who lost three of her sons in the war. Once, after a fervent prayer for the souls of all those who died in the last war, the woman fell asleep and saw Emperor Nicholas II in a dream. “Do not grieve,” said the Tsar-Martyr, “one of your sons is alive. He is in Russia, where, together with his two brothers, he fought for the Slavic cause. You will not die until you see your son. ” After this prophetic dream, the woman received the news that her son was alive. And a few months later, she hugged him alive and well when he returned home. The whole country learned about this event. The Serbian Synod began to receive information that the Serbian people not only deeply honor the memory of the murdered Russian Emperor, but also rank Him among the saints. The first icon-painting images of the Royal Martyrs known to us date back to about the same time.
After some time, another miracle took place in Serbia, connected with the memory of the Tsar-Martyr. On August 11, 1927, a message appeared in Belgrade magazines with the title: “The face of Emperor Nicholas II in the Serbian monastery of St. Nauma on Lake Ohrid ”.
The Russian artist and academician of painting S.F. Kolesnikov, who lived in Serbia, was invited to the ancient monastery of St. Nauma, on Lake Ohrid. He was instructed to paint the dome and walls of the temple, giving complete freedom in creativity. The artist decided to paint the faces of 15 saints on the walls of the temple, placing them in 15 ovals. 14 faces were written immediately, space for 15 remained free for a long time – some inexplicable feeling forced Kolesnikov to postpone.
One day, at dusk, Kolesnikov entered the temple. It was dark below, and only the dome was illuminated by the rays of the setting sun. In the wondrous play of light and shadows, everything seemed somehow heavenly and unearthly. At that moment, the artist saw that the pure oval came to life: the mournful face of Emperor Nicholas II peered out of it. Struck by a wonderful vision, Kolesnikov stood in a daze for some time. Then, as Kolesnikov himself said, engulfed in a prayer impulse, he immediately began to paint with a brush without drawing the contours of the wonderful face with coal. The coming night interrupted work. The artist could not sleep all night. As soon as it was a little light, he went to the temple and with the first rays of the sun was already at the top of the column, working with unprecedented inspiration.
“I wrote without a photograph,” Kolesnikov said later. – At one time I saw the Tsar close several times, giving him explanations at exhibitions. His image is engraved in my memory. I supplied the portrait-icon with the inscription: “All-Russian Emperor Nicholas II, who accepted the martyr’s crown for the prosperity and happiness of the Slavs.”
Soon the monastery was visited by the commander of the Bitolsky military district, General Ristic. He looked for a long time at the face of the Tsar-Martyr painted by the Russian artist, and tears ran down his cheeks. Turning to Kolesnikov, he quietly said: “For us, Serbs, he is the greatest, most revered of all saints.”
On March 30, 1930, Serbian journalists published a telegram in which Orthodox residents of the city of Leskovac in Serbia turned to the Synod of the Orthodox Serbian Church, with a request to consider the canonization of Emperor Nicholas II, whom they venerate along with the Serbian folk saints: Simeon, Savva , Lazarus, Stefan and others.
In 1947, a message appeared in the Russian emigration press about a bold prayer appeal to the Tsar’s Family during World War II in Yugoslavia. A small detachment of Cossacks with a wagon train, in which there were wounded, women, children, the elderly and one priest, lost contact with the main forces and found themselves surrounded on three sides by the enemy and pressed against an impassable swamp. It happened on the day of the Name Day of the Sovereign Emperor. Priest Fr. Ilya, having called everyone to prayer, served a moleben “To Martyr Nicholas, Tsar of Russia” with the appeal: “Holy martyrs of the Tsar’s House, pray to God for us.” The whole detachment and everyone in the train sang. To someone’s objection that the Royal Martyrs have not yet been glorified and miracles from Them have not yet been manifested, Fr. Ilya replied: “But we will go out with Their prayers … Honor the instruction to you in the lives of the saints, when Christians built churches on the bodies of the holy martyrs, without any glorification, lit lamps and prayed to such as primates and intercessors …”. And indeed, a wonderful discovery about. Elijah’s detachment and the convoy left the encirclement in full force, passing at night through the swamp, directly to the location of the main forces, with which they joined. No one from the surrounding residents wanted to believe that they had gone this way. In the morning, the enemies could not establish a trace of where the cut off detachment, which they considered their loyal prey, had gone to.
There is evidence that believers resorted to the heavenly help of the Holy Royal Martyrs even before the glorification. This is exactly how Orthodox Christians have been addressing St. To Righteous John of Kronstadt, St. German of Alaska and Blessed Xenia of Petersburg.
In addition to the listed cases, Heavenly will protect
In 1921, a church council was held in Sremski Karlovtsy, in its address, to the children of the Russian Church in scattering and exile, it was said, in particular: “And now may our prayer be burning vigilantly – may the Lord show the way of salvation and construction of the native land, may he give protection faith and the Church and the whole Russian land, and may He overshadow the heart of the people; may he return to the All-Russian throne the anointed one, strong in love of the people, the legitimate Orthodox Tsar from the House of Romanov. ”
Every soul, imbued with ardent love for the Royal Martyrs of Russia, prayed for Them constantly, and with the prayers of these Martyrs, the Lord has mercy on the Russian land and the Russian people to this day. “Holy Martyrs of the Royal House, pray to God for us.”
I wonder how many people today in Serbia and Russia know of those events?
Yale-Common cold combats COVID-19
Staight out of “War of the Worlds”.
Why aren’t these questions being asked? I live in the sinus capital of the world and have chronic sinus which has enhanced my immune system the same as a common cold. Nothing ever makes it past my head, just something I have always known. Now Yale tells why.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6232691/
If you have sinus, I suppose allergies, anything your immune system does not like that gives you interferon-stimulated genes treat your own unique condition accordingly.
“Trials of interferon in COVID-19 are underway, and so far show a possible benefit early in infection, but not when given later.”
So another question, if your condition is pretty much around all the time, unlike the common cold, you would not have to worry about catching Covid in early stages?
By Bill Hathawayjune 15, 2021
Comparison of early-stage COVID-19 viral loads with and without cold virus infection
In a new Yale-led study, researchers found that in patients with the COVID-19 infection only, antiviral defenses are low and SARS-CoV-2 viral load is high, as represented in the circle on the left. When patients also have the common cold early in the COVID-19 infection, antiviral defenses are high and SARS-CoV-2 viral load is low, as shown on the right.
Exposure to the rhinovirus, the most frequent cause of the common cold, can protect against infection by the virus which causes COVID-19, Yale researchers have found.
In a new study, the researchers found that the common respiratory virus jump-starts the activity of interferon-stimulated genes, early-response molecules in the immune system which can halt replication of the SARS-CoV-2 virus within airway tissues infected with the cold.
Triggering these defenses early in the course of COVID-19 infection holds promise to prevent or treat the infection, said Ellen Foxman, assistant professor of laboratory medicine and immunobiology at the Yale School of Medicine and senior author of the study. One way to do this is by treating patients with interferons, an immune system protein which is also available as a drug.
“But it all depends upon the timing,” Foxman said.
The results were published June 15 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.
Previous work showed that at the later stages of COVID-19, high interferon levels correlate with worse disease and may fuel overactive immune responses. But recent genetic studies show that interferon-stimulated genes can also be protective in cases of COVID-19 infection.
Foxman’s lab wanted to study this defense system early in the course of COVID-19 infection.
Since earlier studies by Foxman’s lab showed that common cold viruses may protect against influenza, they decided to study whether rhinoviruses would have the same beneficial impact against the COVID-19 virus. For the study, her team infected lab-grown human airway tissue with SARS-CoV-2 and found that for the first three days, viral load in the tissue doubled about every six hours. However, replication of the COVID-19 virus was completely stopped in tissue which had been exposed to rhinovirus. If antiviral defenses were blocked, the SARS-CoV-2 could replicate in airway tissue previously exposed to rhinovirus.
The same defenses slowed down SARS-CoV-2 infection even without rhinovirus, but only if the infectious dose was low, suggesting that the viral load at the time of exposure makes a difference in whether the body can effectively fight the infection.
The researchers also studied nasal swab samples from patients diagnosed close to the start of infection. They found evidence of rapid growth of SARS-CoV-2 in the first few days of infection, followed by activation of the body’s defenses. According to their findings, the virus typically increased rapidly for the first few days of infection, before host defenses kicked in, doubling about every six hours; in some patients the virus grew even faster.
“There appears to be a viral sweet spot at the beginning of COVID-19, during which the virus replicates exponentially before it triggers a strong defense response,” Foxman said.
Interferon treatment holds promise but it could be tricky, she said, because it would be mostly effective in the days immediately after infection, when many people exhibit no symptoms. In theory, interferon treatment could be used prophylactically in people at high risk who have been in close contact with others diagnosed with COVID-19. Trials of interferon in COVID-19 are underway, and so far show a possible benefit early in infection, but not when given later.
These findings may help explain why at times of year when colds are common, rates of infections with other viruses such as influenza tend to be lower, Foxman said. There are concerns that as social distancing measures ease, common cold and flu viruses — which have been dormant over the past year — will come back in greater force. Interference among respiratory viruses could be a mitigating factor, creating an “upper limit” on the degree to which respiratory viruses co-circulate, she said.
“There are hidden interactions between viruses that we don’t quite understand, and these findings are a piece of the puzzle we are just now looking at,” Foxman said.
Nagarjuna R. Cheemarla, a postdoctoral associate in Foxman’s lab, was first author of the study, which was carried out by a team of Yale scientists in the departments of laboratory medicine, immunobiology, and genetics.
Other Yale authors included Timothy Watkins, Valia Mihaylova, Bao Wang, Marie Landry, Dejian Zhao, and Guilin Wang.

Just for the record, and wishing to uphold respect in a disintegrating world, if I may offer a free opinion on claiming to use the terms a and b zones in defining political, social and geographic realities, then it would go something like this, and not wished to be taken as argumentative at all, but as clarifying.
Sweeping statements tend to fall into one heap; they aim to simplify one or many factors in a conclusive form, but miss the all important constant of variability details in respect of peoples, countries and life diversity. They reflect back on the person who makes them using a convenience mode that is abstract.
The term really serves more to define the user, who in seeking to zoom out and get the big picture, overrides the individual, or collective of individuals, who make all the difference at any one point in time and space. The outcomes of this end up alienating individuals or people, rather than creating community.
Life shifts, and lazy thinking distorts the effort of creating the big picture through zooming out, when close up focus will in fact lead by itself to the creation of wide perspectives that harbour truth.
Effective ways of zooming out are created by humour, wisdom, love and Godliness, and the critical thinking which enables these in new, all comprehensive ways that people all over the earth are crying out for.

Mr P and others … on the Russian Pacific Fleet off Hawaii – I did not follow this, but came across this reporting in one of the Russian news media … machine translated, and I lost the link now but it comes from Inforuss. Not too sure if the translation in Yandex link will work. https://z5h64q92x9.net/proxy_u/ru-en.en.60afc0ca-60e2ee4d-f5022065-74722d776562/https/inforuss.info/tryuk-rossii-s-otpravkoj-boevyh/
“Russia’s stunt to send warships to Hawaii for training has infuriated the US
Russia
04.07.2021 Inforuss5
The United States is furious over the unexpected appearance of a group of Russian ships off the coast of Hawaii. This is reported by military analysts from China.
Author: Stanislav Blokhin, PolitRussia magazine»
Some time ago, it became known that ships of the Russian Pacific Fleet were spotted in the immediate vicinity of Hawaii. They arrived there for the purpose of conducting military exercises to work out elements of the fight against aircraft carriers of a simulated enemy. According to Chinese journalists, the maneuver of the Russian Navy ships caught the US military off guard, who did not expect such audacity from the Russians. Such data is provided by the Sohu publication. PolitRussia presents an exclusive retelling of this article
“This move took the United States by surprise. In the eyes of the US military, the Pacific Ocean has long turned into the internal sea of their country, and therefore the appearance of Russian ships off Hawaii was a complete surprise for them, ” the authors of Sohu report.
Chinese analysts stated that the US Navy was not ready to meet the ships of the Pacific Fleet — no one expected that Russia would decide to send such a large force deep into the Pacific Ocean. Two dozen surface ships were involved in the maneuvers, including the frigate Marshal Shaposhnikov. As noted by Sohu journalists, the Pentagon was annoyed because of the actions of the Russians.
According to the results of Russian exercises in the Pacific Ocean, it turned out that the US Navy in a hurry sent the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson to the region. The latter has been in the Asia-Pacific region for a long time and, apparently, its arrival in the Hawaii area is due to the high activity of the Russian fleet in this region. Thus, the Pentagon indirectly confirmed its miscalculation in underestimating the Russians, who are beginning to feel at home in the central Pacific.
“The Russian Navy has headed to the waters off Hawaii to conduct large-scale exercises. This made it clear to the US military that their fleet cannot tolerate provocations near the borders of other countries with impunity, hiding behind the rules of free navigation, ” the observers of the Chinese edition added.
The actions of the Russian navy fully comply with international law and this fact infuriated the United States. The US military realized that their favorite method of exerting pressure on competitors could be used against them.
Earlier, PolitRussia talked about the British ridicule of the American fleet due to the appearance of Russian ships near Hawaii.”
Thank you kindly.
Seems to me that the Russian group sent a clear message to the USN.
I recall that the 1962 Caribbean Crises the Soviet ships had considerable difficulty due to the warm seawater. All thermal engines’ efficiency is ultimately determined by the “delta” between hot and cold sides of their cycle, (it’s physics) and in motor and steam ships the cooling water flow and inlet temperature and heat exchangers (usually “shell and tube”), are designed according to assumptions about the temperature and characteristics of their heat dump to ultimate heat sink…ergo?
Ergo @ Caribbean Crises the Soviet ships (and submarines) which were designed for cold seas were unable to make designed speed. Nothing special about this, it also affects the USN, as I have heard from engine room navy guys I know and with whom I have worked. In the smashing of Iraq the intrepid saviors and defenders of freedom sailed into the warm Persian Gulf hearing the occasional plink of a rifle round on the hull or superstructure, and at least one mine detonation…makes a fella proud to be below the waterline next to boilers # 700 PSI…and of course they can’t leave their station… One does wonder about the USN, which is a warm water navy (mostly) building ships with less than protean cooling system sizing. I mean, they knew they have to sail/fight in warm water…
Evidently the Russian ships have proper warm water sized cooling systems…or, if not, they soon will have.
That’s very interesting. The indications, taken altogether, are that the thalassocratic methods of the empire will/are challenged by rising and massive land powers…said powers now developing high seas navy.
Well, what’s better, war at sea, and a resolution of conflict. Or land war in Asia/Europe with an impossible logistic train?
One can happen, not the other.
It will, mostly, be decided at sea so far as the decisive engagement. Of course land war may also take place, as it has been, while we await the big big fubar at sea.
To my old eyes the outcome was decided when the Trumperlection fubard Hillerbillie’s Big War Plan, thus giving VVP and XI the Gift of Time…and they wasted not a minute.
Nevertheless, politics demands a “proof” of defeat.
yes dear amarynth :( very bad!!!
since dear amarynth has started the discussion here, not sure where da Boss is, but things are really hot and anything could happen… really happen really fast…
also…
since its already in the media, that is the chinese media,
let me just briefly mention here ‘the gamble’ –
chinese military freaked out, initially, when the USSA partner w Jap for the ‘show’ in SCS
but let me first I bring upon you the more finer details,
guess who the USSA sent for the ‘show’?
The only group that has participated in all the ME wars, all of them,
meaning they are ready for … another one… any time… when they are called!
USSA sent 1,500 and Jap 3k – not a small number.
Initially chinese military is thinking they are coming for diayu dao or even taiwan,
but they quickly rule that out – why?
coz USSA will not risk diayu dao or taiwan over NY or DC, that is being nuk.
so what is it? the gamble that is… what is it?
this is where russia comes in…
there is a island that jap and rus has been fighting over near here in china, right across jap island
of course russia won and has few thousand russian living there
understandably, jap is freaked out as, if rus decide to station some toys there, well, jap freaked out even b4 that… so you can imagine
but russia has said, in open, no military will be station there
so now… whats the gamble?
Sneaky stuff what else do you expect from USSA?
You see, if Jap take down that island, then jap save face and also secure more of its regional security
and if Jap is successful, guess who will set up a military base there?
no to mention the few thousand prob will be massacre, emmmm… I mean collateral damaged.
so russia will be not safe from the east side, which currently, w the love fest w china, rus has almost none defense on this side, china alone is the military power here…
So the gamble – which explains why USSA is furious!
If indeed sb21 failed to take Crimea, Jap + USSA can take this russia island!
Sneaky!
So what did VVP do? He sent nuk.
Yup, birds are loaded w nuk, in black sea and for the first time, in SCS.
russia will invade hawaii!
that why USSA is furious!
the Jap + USSA show end on 11th – we have many more days and night to go…
anything can go BOOM anytime while in our sleep…
guess we can say whatever happen to c19 now?
that show’s over and proven unprofitable no more?!
you take care there dear amarynth :)
btw CCP china, by extension XJP ordered not to wear mask, is not denial of the existence of ‘virus’. The chinese media talk openly on this one too, so I can share w you here – the subtle msg is, to the west, china can hold water and china can deal w whatever the west ‘throw at her’. The stats shows that china dealt w the delta strain, in 2 wks! They know how to deal with ‘it’ now! Every chinese in china knows the deal now and are fully co-operating w CCP! Thanks TPTwannaB, you just solidify CCP like they cannot do it so easily themselves!
war is everywhere… stock up your cat food!
wanna stay alive? your know the drill!

aloha, there is nothing here that I disagree with. Yes, I saw the ‘no masks’ – same as the mask that Lavrov had one with his previous visit .. that said F Swift! It is clearly now a political signaling mechanism.
Anyone that talks to me about Covid and has no idea of the Chinese reaction or experience, does not have full information.
I agree with you.
long time ago (story from colleague that he got from his daddy) Situation > 12000 feet in Rocky USA mountains at a mine…snow all years round, snowed in 9-10 months (note, I have personally visited such mine, now ruins)…anyway, there were maybe 50 men, and one Chinese fella, who was the cook…and the other fellas were studly tough guys of various European examples of non-rente or working class fellas,,,they antagonize the cook once too often…meat cleaver bizerk…blood everywhere. Maybe it’s not “pc”, but my personal opinion is that I’d rather fight a pissedov Russian, than a pissedov Chinese fella.
This speak to the disconnect ‘tween the obvious and terribly wrong assumptions we witness from “some” bosses of some States.
OK, here you have it.
Russian virologists debunk the popular myth of Sputnik V
03 July 2021 14: 43 / Updated: 04 Jul 2021 09: 28
Moscow, July 3. The Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine is not able to affect the human genome, leading virologists from Russia have said.
Adenovirus is present in the nuclei of cells as a separate unit that does not interact with DNA in any way, explained Alexey Agranovsky, Professor of the Department of Virology at the Faculty of Biology of Moscow State University, in a comment. URA.RU. The opinion of the colleague was shared by Doctor of Science Sergey Netesov. He noted that adenoviruses lack a part of the genome, which distinguishes them from natural variants.
The Russian Ministry of Health has assessed the impact of vaccination on the course of coronavirus infection. The vaccine protects a person from a severe form of the disease, preventing the transmission of COVID-19 to others. Mutations of the virus also do not affect the effectiveness of vaccines, experts said.
This is straight from a white paper from Moderna (I’ve checked the pdf through virustotal.com – there you can do it yourself):
https://www.modernatx.com/sites/default/files/RNA_Vaccines_White_Paper_Moderna_050317_v8_4.pdf
Go to page 3 second big paragraph “DNA VACCINES”. It clearly states that there is a risk of integration. I have a different angle to criticize the white paper, but it is unlikely a straight up lie. As far as I am familiar with cellular biology, it is true that DNA is transcribed in the nucleus and the resultant mRNA is translated by ribosomes which are located around the ER with the final destination of the cell membrane. Read this for the mechanism overview: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8064729/ .
Therefore, I can only speculate that only with a compatible enzyme e.g. integrase, the risk is low but theoretically possible.
That being said, if I had to choose or die, I would go for Sputnik V.
The biggest downside of all of this is that no one is asking these hard question directly. Even Russian TV had a senior employee of the “Национальный исследовательский центр эпидемиологии и микробиологии имени почётного академика Н. Ф. Гамалеи”, the institute that developed the vaxx, on and didn’t ask these crucial questions.
It is by definition impossible to state the long term consequences of these vaccines. New technology and no 10 year plus application and systematic scientific research of the people who get vaxxed. It’s an experiment and maybe we will somehow encounter the results later by chance, because no long term scientific observational study (f.e. 10 years) is performed.
I’m sorry, but this is ontologically impossible to predict as of this day.
Nachtigall, it is by definition impossible to predict if you or I will fall under a bus tomorrow and break our legs.
Let me just say, I am not in a hurry to take any vaccine and maybe never. I have never been anti-vaxx, but I’ve not been stupid, and have been what can be called a vaxxx pessimist. I don’t believe that is the way to go for humankind. However, I am watching keenly incase I have to change my mind in these circumstances. Years past, when I had to go to a country (for business) that required yellow fever vaxx, I had to take it. I did not like it, but I had to take it.
All, and I mean all, affects us and our bodies. Long term effects of any vaccine are iffy, at best. Long term studies tying measles vaccines in kids to eventual shingles in old people were totally suppressed. I can’t even find it anymore.
So, I’ve decided — and this is not your problem. I will not even read any more western studies. I will not even listen to the various pronouncers and influencers. I’m done with them. Let them fight their own poisons.
And you know, there are English sites here ..
https://gamaleya.org/en/
https://sputnikvaccine.com/
They have a lot of information.
I’m reading at the moment a bunch of comments from a Russian site. I do like the sense of humor. Take a look:
An engineer and an anti-vaccination worker approach a bridge over a river teeming with crocodiles and piranhas.
The anti-vaccination worker asks the engineer —
” Is it safe to cross this bridge?”
The engineer responds:
– It’s 92.1% safe to cross this bridge
— – Hmm. Then I’d better swim, says the anti-vaxx worker.
Some really funny stuff that comes up as well, is that many Russians believe that anti-vaxx stuff is generally that of (and I quote), “faggots”.
I’m just stepping back a moment .. to those that advocate infanticide – and I’m wondering who takes that decision. Who takes the decision to kill babies as it is considered that there are too many. Considered by who … who takes that decision? Nobody picked it up at the time as far as I know, but I’ve been busy. Anybody – infanticide as a story OK with you?
Well, clearly it is not OK with me. A rock is conscious but does not know it has consciousness. A human is conscious, and actually knows it has consciousness. Careful of these chicken stories unless you’re OK with the killing of your old, and killing of your young, because somebody decides. Take a step back in this story being woven here and read the words carefully.
OK, very strange. This was supposed to appear under all the chicken stories. It did not. Did I make an error? Maybe.
Just for peace, this is absolutely not for you Nachtigall. I am sorry. Please ignore.
Most babies these days are ‘killed’ invitro, mainly western, first world, we are the bestest at everything, to me, it passes as infantcide, but I’m a leprechaun, what do I know, other than there being a ‘market’ for baby bits and pieces. Some places, live birth abortions are also normal, I almost puke writing that. Sad take on some people’s morals? Not sure how it is in Eastern countries or Asian……..I felt the remark ‘over the top’, almost like bait on the surface, I gave it a pass.
But then, ‘some marked both door posts with blood, and were spared’……………there is a precidence.
Cheers, M
took a week off, didn’t miss much………lol.
I have got to take a break. A month sounds good, maybe more. Enough internet discussions for me. Got to find a way to just look for the most important info. The internet makes me sick. Too much of a freak to let things slide. I want to know f everything.
Cheers
Nachtigall
Agreed.

By the way, the fact that “we are all Palestinians now” is clearly understood by ukcolumn.org.
Any support is very welcome.
And we are certainly not “anti-Slav”.
your benefit in c19 vaxx – The tool for the seperation of ‘species’ –
consider this!
Seperation is… to bring about contrast!
and w/out contract, we cannot ‘be’
so have you learn more about your ‘self’ (through c19 vaxx ‘discussion’ and choices)?
why did you come to earth this time?
there are some of us that live, and other merely exist.
‘be’ – are you?!
wind blows! where will the wind take you Next?!
bwbs
p/s notice these dumbfvck that want to ‘homogenise’ human only to force a contrast so undeniable, we must find our ‘self’ or ceased to exist – the very painful path of self-discovery, by force due to our will to survive. Thank you TPTwannaB! As me mate albama said to me – the mirror wants you dead! Love it!!!!
