While all eyes are on Taliban, Israel is bombing Syria for the second day in a row.
Will this ever end ?
Lebanon has filed a complaint with the UN today, regarding Israeli violation of their airspace.
Six missiles were fired by the Israelis. Four were intercepted by the Syrian air defenses.
Israel is just lashing out, throwing a tantrum, because they intuitively feel their end approaching. A few missile strikes here and there, targeting God knows what, seems more like a story for their media to jam down the throats of the Israelis: (excuse the caps)
WE HIT SYRIA!!!!!!!! BWAHAHAHAA!!! WE’RE SO POWERFUL!!!!! WE’RE INVINCIBLE!!!!!
If they are indeed so powerful, why don’t they lob a missile at Iran, and see what happens?
Just before the attacks – which were apparently against advanced Iranian weapons and Iranian forces (as is the usual excuse for war crimes) there were several stange “accidents” in Israel.
Two were caught on camera and reported in Iranian media – a) a fire onboard a ship at Haifa, and b) an explosion at a facility in Haifa.
The attacks on Syria (Iran) were likely in responce to the “accidents” around Israel – which were in turn likely in responce to earlier “accidents” around Iran.
From Iranian media:

Countless incendiary balloons have also been launched towards Israeli settlements last night.
The Israelis launched 9 missiles towards the electrical power plant in Gaza last night.
Last night’s airstrikes were a response to:

As the video clip on the timesofhell article portrays, a Palestinian stuck a handgun into the embrasure where an Israeli had a rifle sticking out, and shot the poor bastard right in the head at point blank range.
Before the Palestinians released the clip, the IDF thought it was a friendly fire incident, and they were all scratching their heads trying to figure out how it happened.
And last but not least, Hamas’ response to last night’s airstrikes: “Israel, as always, trying to hide their failures behind disproportionate bombings.”

I tried to find similar news on RT and Sputnik. Anyone else heard of the same news too? What are the implications for those of us sick and tired of lockdowns, face masks, social distancing, etc.?

Thanks for posting the link.
The staff of RT and Sputnik work under the same duress as most other western journalists.
In other words they are at personal risk: viz. the London and Berlin operations.
The “mockingbird” operation remains active in the “international” mainstream media, DW, ORF, France24, BBC etc.
This does not mean that RT and Sputnik are incompetent, far from that description, they are very competent.
For example the European Union Fourth Reich has a propaganda department within the “EEAS”
This department was run by a certain “Madeleine de Cock Buning”.
This lady’s job was to “syndicate” the EUR media into a “cult”. The LGBT community is celebrated highly.
The big legacy players, such as DIE PRESSE in Vienna, lead the pack to support the psychoptathic pecuniary interests.
The Guardian plays the same “twisted” criminal role in the UK.
So the best interests of 99% of the “common people” are not represented.
By the way the “academics” are now paid by public-private pecuniary actors.
Most of them are “owned”, that includes medical professionals.
The BBC is the prime example of a corrupted media source.

Don’t expect much media coverage.
What I found, is that the 1st October measure lifting was accounted for in a road map months ago. So, maybe it’s not a done deal yet.
In the meantime, in all silence, measures are also partially lifted in e.g. Portugal and some Bundesländer in Germany. Shhht.

Every new experience and situation we encounter brings about a subtle transformation within ourselves. The constant addition of new impressions serves to diversify and force the mind to become ever more complex and diverse in its outlook. We become ever more capable at whatever we put our heart and mind to. We move from ignorance to mastery, from selfishness to an ever expanding and all encompassing love for life. Imperative is to find a way to partake of the Waters of Life, preferably on a daily basis, through either prayer, meditation or contemplation. We realise one day, all is love and love is all. We make even greater efforts to become that love.
It’s our destiny and fate, and we stop fighting it and start moving with it in a slow and beautiful dance.
The Place Where You Forget Your Name
When you go to the place
Where you forget your name,
You lay down your sword,
You lay down your blame.
You lay down your memory
You lay down your game,
When you go to the place
Where you forget your name.
When you go to the place
Where you find your sight,
You no longer see darkness,
You no longer see light.
You no longer see wrong,
You no longer see right,
When you go to the place
Where you find your sight.
When you go to the place
Where you meet your soul,
There are no longer parts,
There’s only the whole.
There’s no victory, no failure,
There’s only the goal,
When you go to the place
Where you meet your soul.
When you go to the place
Where you forget your name,
There’s no way to return
To from where you came.
Nothing has changed
But nothing’s the same…
When you go to the place
Where you forget your name.
What a beautiful Poem,
it brought tears to my eyes,
I recently lost a dear close friend and guardian due to cancer.
This is what I wish for him
Nirvana !
Dear friend, first of all, thank you for your kind words re; my humble lines.
Secondly, be assured your friend is happy and in a better place. How do I know? B/c I have lost two Souls dear to me, and went on to meet them after their passing in the dream state! The first being my best friend who was taken from this world under terrible circumstances, and to make matters worse, at the time of his passing, had had a falling out with me due to a misunderstanding which was the handiwork of a third party. Not too long after his death, in a dream he met with me alive and vital as can possibly be, and in one of our favourite haunts to boot. He had the most infective grin on his face and we were able to experience a bear hug as was our wont, during his life here on the physical, every bit as “physical”, edifying and fulfilling as could possibly be.
What happened next though, ‘blew my socks off’; he proceeded to ask me about the said misunderstanding, and I was able to clear it up with him to his satisfaction. Talk about divine intervention. I awoke from that dream
knowing that there is no such thing as death, only change. And yes, we humans are very habitual creatures and get used to things being a certain way, and find it difficult when it all changes, esp. the physical death and departure of our loved ones.
The second was my mum, who on her deathbed, agreed to visit me in the dream state and let me know how she was faring. True to her word, she did just that! And, most interestingly, she was a younger version of herself but in a context that she never was in her physical life, which showed me that she had entered a new experience and had embraced it as normal and expected. Finally, in the dream, I was the one who saw her first, and she was smiling a smile that eased my anxiety as to her fate. In seeing that smile, I knew she was not only alive, but also happy. In our brief discussion, she also let on that she was aware of events that had been occurring ‘out here’, ie; within the family!
So, I reiterate, your wish for your friend will definitely be the case. In Spirit, D.
It is usually the case that in the heavens people take on the form of 20 – 30 year olds.
Nobody is old unless they choose that form.
One story out of countless: Two young novice monks in Thailand ( still boys) lost in the forest. Night came down with the boys still lost. A kindly old monk came to them and brought them to his cave. In the morning he brought them to a place where everybody was young and beautiful and all was beautiful beyond compare. The inhabitants gave the novice boys their alms food which was only vegetarian. After they had eaten the monk brought them back. From the cave the monk took the boys a few steps and they found themselves back in their home village. The monk had disappeared.
This happened in recent years.
When they have enjoyed the vast pleasures of heaven, the stock of their merits being exhausted, they return to the earthly plane. Thus, those who follow the religious rituals, desiring objects of enjoyment, repeatedly come and go in this world.
– Bhagawad Geeta 9.21
Shree Krishna explains in this verse that the celestial delights of the heavenly abodes are temporary. After people who have been furthered there have fully enjoyed heavenly pleasures and exhausted their merits, they are sent back to the earthly plane.
Thus, attaining promotion to the heavenly abodes does not fulfill the eternal quest of the soul. We have all been there many times in endless past lifetimes, and yet the hunger of the soul for infinite Bliss has not yet been satiated.
The Timeless is our real home. Each heaven realm is not yet the Timeless but there is a feeling of homecoming when the being has ascended to realms of light.
Forsaking hate, forsaking greed
The heart is home, has all it needs
Home again the being of light
Has opened it’s eyes, restored it’s sight

At least 9 Chinese nationals killed in massive explosion in Balochistan: Report
The report suggests that a convoy of Chinese engineers was targeted in the blast near the construction site of a road that is part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
By hindustantimes.com
PUBLISHED ON AUG 20, 2021 09:48 PM IST
At least nine Chinese nationals have been killed in a massive explosion reported in Pakistan’s port city of Gwadar, according to The Balochistan Post. The report suggests that a convoy of Chinese engineers was targeted in the blast near the construction site of a road that is part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The local government is yet to confirm the death toll resulting from the explosion.
The explosion has been reported around a month after a bus carrying workers was attacked in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province that resulted in the death of nine Chinese nationals and four more people. Pakistan had initially claimed that the incident was caused by a mechanical failure leading to a gas leak. But the Chinese side said the bus was hit by a blast.
This is a developing story…
I was triggered by the term ‘Balochistan’. That is a region mainly in the South of Pakistan.
Meet and greet the famous article ‘Pipelinistan’ of Pepe Escobar from 2009 (!). Just see what pipelines are planned there, and then imagine who profits (not to mention the used currencies):

Rob, right a desirable hub.
But what are we looking at here?
Syria wants Russia out, US in.
I believe Russia wants out of Syria and oddly seems to have initiated a partnership of sorts with US in Afghanistan.
So if Russia leaves Syria the US helps them in Afghanistan? Thats at the bottom. These countries, West and East are sending out decoy releases, not covering what is going on behind the curtain, and the analysts are buying into the fluff like crazy.
Glad you showed, any thoughts, it is strange?

Afghanistan
Somebody has been busy striking deals.
Lavrov says it is clear Russia and the West need to work together.
Saleh was also head of Afghanistan’s National Directorate of Security (NDS), the country’s main intelligence agency, which had deep and controversial ties with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), between 2004 and 2010.
Tajikistan immediately backs Saleh surely they know of his questionable CIA ties.
references….
KALININGRAD, August 17. /TASS/. The current situation in Afghanistan makes it clear that Russia and the West need to work together, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, addressing students and professors at Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University on Tuesday.
“Joint efforts [by Russia and the West] to help resolve numerous regional crises and conflicts are relevant. It has become even more clear after the situation in Afghanistan collapsed following a hasty withdrawal of US and NATO troops,” he pointed out.

Saleh was also head of Afghanistan’s National Directorate of Security (NDS), the country’s main intelligence agency, which had deep and controversial ties with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), between 2004 and 2010.
The Afghan embassy in Tajikistan also stated that First Vice President Amrullah Saleh was “officially the acting president” after Ghani’s “escape” from Afghanistan. The embassy also posted photographs of Ghani’s framed image being replaced with that of Saleh.
I have noticed that a lot of your posts here are straight up disinformation.
Russia has a lease on the Tartus Naval Base for another 40-something years. They are not going to give up that base.
Russia is also not going to give up the Khmeimim airbase.
And what’s more, the US is not capable of acting as an effective force in Syria, in any case. For one, how could they when all of their logistical convoys are being blown up in Iraq? And for two, where are they acting as an effective force nowadays?
The US will be out of Iraq and Syria before you know it, and Russia will continue to be there for the next 40 years, til the end of their contract.
New links from sis on the chatter jabber page.
Not sure what happened to my earlier post to the café, maybe failed moderation?? fell through the keyboard cracks??
Found this voice, maybe not everyone’s cup of tea but, looking at how Floyd, Hendrix, the voices of the sixties that spoke socially to my age group, changed our conscious thinking, our view of a crazy world, new musicians need to step up (in a cancel culture world), speak to todays youth, those that will inherit the future. What a crazy future that is.
I have hope those musicians, like we had, are still there. I find this young man’s message, spotlighting the woke, critical race theory culture, somewhat of a welcome backlash, rebellion is alive and well.

Cheers, M
I hear what you’re saying, sean. It’s such a shame that so many of the brilliant young musicians who have been born and who set out with a sincere love and desire to share their craft, their views and their gift with the world, have come to sad and premature ends. Friend, no one can take on the social consciousness and win. At best, they can be a force that initiates an eventual change where some detail or aspect of the social consciousness is concerned. An apt analogy might be, they might work toward a minor improvement in a jail, where all inmates may at some point in the future enjoy improved conditions, however, it’s so often at the expense of their own lives. Hendrix, Cobain etc. all became victims of the machine they railed against.
If we consider that the beast in question, is in fact a manifestation of “the Universal Mind Power”, aka. Satan and so on, who is Lord, judge/jury, of this world, we need to understand that confronting this beast head on will end tragically.
Why? B/c everything that we can see, hear and touch as “far as the eyes can see” is created, owned and “on loan”, from the great Satan himself. Even our own bodies, feelings and minds.
What does that leave us? Well, what the “great Satan” cannot and never will control, is that which animates the physical body, that which feels the feelings, that which thinks the thoughts. That entity or essence is who and what we are. If you have ever viewed a dead body, it is apparent that the life force has evacuated that body, b/c the body can no longer house it. It is apparent, for example, that in the case of a departed loved one, that our loved one is no longer at arm’s length, although we can still access them within our hearts. Those of us fortunate enough to have experienced contact with a loved one after the death of the physical body, may feel and/be convinced that our loved one is still alive, but somewhere beyond our reach. So this entity, that comes and goes is who and what we are. It can come and go at will and is able to have movement and experiences beyond the physical body, especially if exercised regularly.
My point, therefore, is that our only real freedom begins and ends with our awareness of this body – for convenience’s sake, let’s call it the Soul body – and our ability to act by Its directions or not. None can kill, burn, maim or cage the Soul body, it is born free and will only experience the conditions of being trapped if It accepts those conditions at face value. As a teenager, I had a book by Herman Hesse, and on the cover was a man in jail, who had painted a colourful landscape with a winding road on the drab grey prison wall, while he, the prisoner, had stripped off his prisoner’s garb and was about to step into the wondrous world. So it is with the Soul body, we need to locate It within ourselves, we need to exercise and listen to Its “still, small voice” and follow Its hints. All discontent arises from not listening to this inner voice, and following the rest of the flock blindly. The law of the social consciousness being “the greatest good for the greatest amount of people” is in direct opposition to the Law of Soul. God, or the Creator, does not care about temporal homes or worlds, IT cares about Soul, and man’s only true freedom lies within the Soul body.
This isn’t to say that it’s wrong or bad to fight for justice, and improvements of conditions around the world – that battle needs to be fought every day on some level or another – but it means that we need to understand the nature of the Beast and how to not become It’s effect. We need to be smart, silent and secretive, and above all, not to accept that 1. we are prisoners, 2. that nothing can or will ever change in the “finished creation” ( it will, but very, very slowly ) and 3. that within us lies the ability to “see, know and be”, and that we need to cultivate this inner voice and test Its veracity in our day to day lives as often as possible, and so begin to trust it above all else. If we do this, we will gradually find our way out of the mire and become effective as a unit of consciousness, and not the effect of what we consider to be “the real world”.
Everyone should pay close attention to what Dimitar says. He knows what he is talking about.
Thank you Dimitar. It is very rare to hear someone speak true and accurate ‘esoteric’ (for lack of a better term) knowledge these days.
My hats off to you.
Thank you Anonymous, but I can assure you I do have feet of clay.
I wanted to qualify something from the above post, b/c it appears to be a contradiction. We can effect change when we have command of ourselves and work with the Divine Power, ie; we’re working from a level that’s beyond the emotional plane. The angry mob approach simply doesn’t work, and plays into the hands of the agents of the Negative Force, so I’ll reiterate that we need to have a level of detachment and declare “Thy Will be done, O Lord, not mine”. We need to be smart, there’s a lot of mindless anger out there and it’s no good for anyone. Once again, thanks for your kindness, I’m humbled hence the lower case, ‘d’…lol
“Thy Will be done, O Lord, not mine”.
My Muslim countrymen call this ‘Islam’, which is surrender or acquiescence to fate/God. Regular surrender and acquiescence is born of weakness, but this special kind of acquiescing to fate requires tremendous strength: to go where fate leads you, happily and without resentment, no matter how difficult the road may seem, and no matter how much ‘you’ want something else, until eventually you realize that the ‘you’ who was always wanting one thing, and not wanting another, was not really you, but as you say, the great satan, until you become one with fate/God, ie. the nameless immensity out there.
I have nothing more to add. You have said it all.
Good luck to you, Dimitar, and best wishes on the long road ahead. May you traverse it with joy.
I am humbled by your exposition, hence the lower case ‘a’.
Dear anonymous, I always enjoy a sincere discussion on the subject of consciousness, and our exchange today has been rewarding and satisfying for which I thank you. I am grateful for your explanation of Islam. I admit I do not know too much about the finer points of Islam, being a ‘Westerner’ etc. apart from my love of Shams, Rumi, Firdusi, Hafiz, ie; mainly mystic poetry. I have been a student of life for many years and do have a teacher but that’s something I generally keep private, as I am an adherent of the idea as espoused by Rumi, being that I’m not so interested in the form that someone’s devotion may take, but the substance of it. Jaluludin said it best when he stated that Truth is found at the source of the source of the source of all religions.
If you are a regular poster or visitor here, I’d be only too happy to continue our association. You are dead right when you speak of the difficulty of true surrender, however, I see that as a process that occurs gradually over many lifetimes, the many cycles of experience eventually smoothing out the rough edges of Soul, until we become like a smooth ocean stone, each with a unique journey and story to tell.
Much goodwill in Spirit, and fond regards, D.
My interpretation of Sufism would be that people are at different points in a circle and each have their own unique journey to reach the center of the circle; the center meaning – the soul, truth, enlightenment, nirvana etc.
An interesting exposition of Sufism –
https://www.britannica.com/topic/Sufism/Sufi-thought-and-practice
I am delighted and honored that you like our poets, Dimitar.
In addition to those you named, I also recommend Attar of Nishapur, Sadie of Shiraz, and Omar Khayyam, with Attar being particularly suited to your taste, I think.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conference_of_the_Birds
Mowlana (Rumi) said about Attar of Nishapur:
Attar travelled the seven cities of love
We are stuck in the bend of one alley
You are right that devotion takes many forms, and as such there are many paths to spiritual knowledge: the path of the healer, the dancer, the poet, the storyteller, the warrior, etc.
My people used to take delight in poetry, philosophy, mathematics, alchemy, medicine, and all the arts and sciences, as expressions of spiritual knowledge, and Iran gave the world people such as Al-Farabi, Al-Khwarazmi, Al-Razi, and Avicenna, each one equal to Rumi and Hafiz in their own right, with Avicenna perhaps surpassing and exceeding them all in talent and knowledge, and Iran also gave the world ‘Islamic’ architecture and Persian rug designs, as expressions of the unnameable.

Today, the Iranian expression of spiritual knowledge manifests through warriorship, in the ongoing struggle against US-Israeli tyranny and oppression. There are no more famous names like Rumi and Shams among their ranks, I’m afraid, except the magician Qasem Soleimani, whose dead hand continues to orchestrate the downfall of Israel and the US, and the great wizard, Ayatollah Khamenei, all the rest are the nameless warriors of the Mahdi, as some call them.
But these nameless warriors, all of them ‘nobodies’ and ‘nothings’ (if you understand my meaning), are dligently and tirelessly working to bring down perhaps the greatest tyranny the world has ever known, a feat of sheer and stupendous magic.
They are the unsung, unknown heroes of our age, and I have a feeling that Rumi and Hafiz, and especially Ferdowsi, would look on their endeavours with the same delight and approval which their own poetry in turn has elicited in so many, over the centuries.
But all this world is like a tale we hear –
Men’s evil, and their glory, disappear.
Listen: this story’s one you ought to know,
You’ll reap the consequence of what you sow.
This fleeting world is not the world where we
Are destined to abide eternally:
And for the sake of an unworthy throne
You let the devil claim you for his own.
I’ve few days left here, I’ve no heart for war,
I cannot strive and struggle any more,
But hear an old man’s words: the heart that’s freed
From gnawing passion and ambitious greed
Looks on kings’ treasures and the dust as one;
The man who sells his brother, as you’ve done,
For this same worthless dust, will never be
Regarded as a child of purity.
The world has seen so many men like you,
And laid them low: there’s nothing you can do
But turn to God; take thought then for the way
You travel, since it leads to Judgment Day.
(^ Addressed to Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi who overthrew his brother to take the throne)
Such is the passing that you must leave,
All men must die, and it is vain to grieve.
– Abolqasem Ferdowsi
Hi Dimitar, we all have a path to follow, I think that’s the ‘free will’ part we were given, or the illusion of free will, if one believes like I, that at the days end, it really is Gods will……it will be done.
In the Luongo vid that amarynth posted, near the end he speaks of ‘community’ a need to stick together, Roger, in the Saker interview, near the end he too mentions community, we are humans, pack animals, we commune.
‘We shall not be divided.’ That needs to be said, sung, and screamed from every roof top, hill, and tower.
MacDonald in his songs, speaks to todays kids, ‘they are trying to divide us, race, privilege, religion etc…,’ speaks to the need to rise above the lies, hate, propaganda, and to not accept their fake woke reality. I truly enjoyed the Waters interview, but he speaks to us in our language, the kids of today don’t understand it. The kids that will inherit, buyer beware, our world, they speak in their own language, it just happens to be stylized rap. Listen to the music on any Canadian reserve, not old school chanting, they have that as a preservation of culture, but the native kids, Rap. Watch any UFC event coming out of Russia and the Eastern Bloc countries, the fighters enter the ring to local Rap songs. All kids today, regardless of race, they all commune with rap. Best take away line, ‘tell me, we evolved from monkeys, now we’re fucking sheep?’ I suppose we take our hope where we find it.
Thank you for the reply, lots of thoughts to digest, and for answering my question……yes! People still do throw Light. Very illuminating read indeed.
Cheers, and all the best M
Dear Sean, once again, I hear what you’re saying and agree entirely. Yes, the youth have new voices that speak to them in a language they understand. I have three children myself, two daughters, 17, 14 and my son, is 9. Through them I have a very clear window into today’s youth and it’s wonderful to see how they’re so ‘lit’, lol, ie; with it. Cheers, friend, Best, D.
The Old Stone Well
There’s an old stone well at the top of the hill,
Where the lovers once met and drank their fill.
And the words they carved are still there in plain view;
“Life was worth living just to love you!”
Well, a rumour began the way that it does,
People were whispering, the town was a abuzz;
The families were angry and tempers were hot,
Someone had gone crazy and had lost the plot!
It was said in hushed tones that blood had been spilt,
The dagger had been buried, right “up to the hilt”.
‘Twas the father for sure or the brothers at least;
They’d got up and left in the middle of the feast.
Plans had been made and deals had been struck,
The young man had been bold till he ran out of luck.
The ways of the world to some may seem strange,
But the schemes of men they never will change.
The sweethearts had fled like in some desperate dream
Till the silence was broken by bloodcurdling screams!
Now the whippoorwill cries and the night is coal black;
The lovers are gone and they’re not coming back…
There’s an old stone well at the top of the hill
Where the lovers once met and drank their fill;
And their words still remain, there in plain view;
“Life was worth living just to love you!”
“The Price Of Love” by ioan
How did I fall so deep in trouble,
How did I fall so deep in love?
My soul is laying now in rubble,
I cannot leave nor fly above.
The circle is closed, nothing to cheer,
Shortage of time, little to spend.
The one, who is for me so dear,
Not long ago, back home she went.
I have no words, I’m full of faults,
Living a life between two worlds.
My soul is crying my eyes are dry,
Thinking of you, my dear, oh why?
The sky is falling on my head,
I wish I wasn’t then so bad
Tempting the fate, letting it be,
You’re now so far away from me.
I hear the gang, something went wrong
Waves after waves, as tragic song.
I couldn’t stop it, neither could you,
We had to live it all the way through.
Who knows the mystery of the heart,
Who knows the mystery of pain?
When every hope just falls apart
As if we lived our lives in vain?
The price of love we had to pay,
Higher than we ever thought.
The path we followed in our way,
Got harder every day for both.
Forgive my weakness if you can,
Forget the hardships and all the sorrow,
May love be stronger now and then,
For we shall meet again tomorrow!
This is a warning – the following image is truly in bad taste but it tells a story. It is a joke about the US leadership.

HA xD that really caught me!!!
god save amerika!
lots of moving pieces, ppl! from ‘above’ to ‘below’, from ‘international’ to ‘local’…
you know the drill for self-survival.
seriously, learn to weaponize a fork to defned yourself!
p/s the rumble vid of the rabbi saving om is a good one – watch it if you hvnt! just some simple Q but strangely no answers! why?
Frankly, I almost fell out of my chair from laughing. On Joe we could have some doubts, but Kamala could have a lot of credits ;-)
This image of a movie poster is frequently shared in Germany, considering the upcoming ‘elections’ (some 30% of polled Germans is of the opinion that the elections will be manipulated):
https://ibb.co/kKm4D08
Text in the image:
“Wenn die Wahl gewonnen wird, ist es volkommen egal, wenn das Land mit untergeht. Ich könnte darüber noch keine Träne weinen, denn es hätte nichts anderes verdient.”
(Yandex) translate:
“If the election is won, it does not matter if the country goes down with it. I could not cry a tear over it yet, because it would not have deserved anything else.”

The New Normal in France. Apparently supermarkets there hired muscled people to throw out (well, they weren’t even in) customers who went there just to buy some food and stuff, as they could not show the Holy Grail of the obliged QR-code. Mind you, the customers are wearing masks. More videos in the thread:
https://twitter.com/_Mrtdogg/status/1428352447634804736
Ok, this is France. So, real activists started to block a supermarket entrance in Marseille altogether:
https://streamable.com/bkm1vt
(This upload is kind of experimental, I grabbed this from ‘Gallia Daily’ via a Telegram channel).
In Australia and New Zealand they seem to have gone bonkers. The NZ prime minister advised not to talk to your neighbors, even when vaxxed, and locked the nation – for one case.
(Advise for the NZ authorities: don’t forget to lock the escape bunkers of the foreign happy ‘fat cats’, and please lock them damned good. For quite a while please).
This is not exclusive, in China they locked the largest container shipping harbor for one case. This will not stay unnoticed, car manufacturers in Germany already scheduling down production. And that’s just cars.
My crystal ball is quite foggy, but I suspect that this ride might still take years from now. Oh dear.
Cheers, Rob
Rob, in a part of the world where cars rule, new car lots are empty of new cars, most major dealers are selling used. I’ve heard there is a ‘chip’ shortage affecting, not only cars but all industry across the board.
Cheers, M
Yes Sean.
Read articles on Zerohedge (don’t flinch amarynth) that said the US China trade war would lead to a chip shortage that would grind everything to a halt.
As ZH predicts the end of the world as we know it every article, I kinda went….
Yawn, next……
But maybe they got this one correct.
Even a broken clock is correct twice a day…..
Heheee … I’m not flinching. It’s you that has to flinch! (Just kidding and joking around with you).
From the Chinese side, the information that I see from there, is that they are working like the blazes on the chip issues. Who knows? But in the meantime, it is clear that a chip shortage is in our future. I cannot even guess how it will play out.
What is clear is that everything is now a scary story eh .. just everything. How can we live with this continual fear-mongering? If it is not chips, its the V or the Jab or the government or the Great Culling, or the money, or the food, or the whatever else. We got to get our heads read for sure. Fear-mongering is now probably the biggest short-term growth industry out there.
One would think ‘chips’, ‘cars’, I can live with that for some time.
But wait. Some 80% of goods transport is by sea, and some 60% of that with containers. Between ominous reports, there is also serious analysis available.
You can read this detailed article of William F. Engdahl about the disruptions in the supply chains, and it’s originally from July 22nd. It cannot be repeated enough: https://www.globalresearch.ca/impacts-of-the-covid-19-lockdown-on-world-trade-global-shipping-crisis-far-worse-than-imagined/5750765
Simply stated, combined with other reporting: chip shortage 2 years, maybe more. Shipping disruptions 5 years or more. This includes truck traffic (the gasoline shortages in the USA were due to that, forget those pipeline hacking tales).
Besides ‘stuff’, not mentioned here, be prepared that it may account for food as well. I already see partially empty shelves in supermarkets, and this will get worse. Expect rising food prices as well. And then TSRHTF (R stands for really).
Cheers, Rob
Speaking of NZ.
Where is Col????
Haven’t seen a post from him in a couple of cafes.
Calling Col….
pls report from the south seas.
Hi WW…I’m basically permanently signed out.
I read the comments from time to time but have a self-imposed limit of one comment a month. If you are curious to know the reason please email the A-team. Also, she could give you my email address if you wanted to stay in touch with me and also connect up with a wee think-tank I have going here. You could perhaps be our Ausy connection.
By the way…I always enjoy your input…I know you have a good dose of integrity and insight. I do notice a sudden huge change in the official Covid narrative for Aus with Hunt supporting Ivermectin and by definition slamming vaccine strategies!
I see the conservative western countries one by one beginning to step away from the drug cabal’s narrative…when bastions of lapdog like behaviour such as the UK and Aus do this it is a sign that the complete unravelling of the jab rollout is very close.
This won’t happen spontaneously in New Sheepland …… just as we were the last country in the world to cease manufacturing 245-T [Agent Orange’s close cousin] we will likely be the last to come out of our sleepwalk.
Our so-called DG of ‘Health’ [that label is such a profoundly tragic joke] is absolutely foaming at the mouth with anticipation and can hardly wait to begin vaccinating 6-month babies…YCHMTSU!!!
Very best regards always
Col
Col, I will ask for your email, but there maybe a lag of a month or so. Won’t go into details here.
Cafe had a good global coverage there for a while.
Ireland, Canada, NZ, Aust and many points in between (and of course the US).
[I miss postcards from Looneylandia and Teranum13.].
Australia has gone stark crazy insane demented…. insert an epithet.
It’s hysteria.
I used to be part of Duke of Edinburgh and be a leader taking teenage girls on bushcraft weekends. Friday night they’d stay up with torches in their tents telling ghost stories and scare themselves witless.
We used to let them. They’d be awake till 1-2am then be dead dog tired Saturday. We’d walk em hard.
They were asleep by 9pm Sat night and lambs till 3pm Sunday when mummy and or daddy came to drive them home.
The insanity in Oz at moment is the same nonsense of those girls in the tents.
Telling stories and scaring themselves.
Un f believable
I’m going to break my rule WW because of this vitally important news in the link below.
This is very important as we are about to deploy some new rules throughout NZ that we hope will have a major effect. We are sort of borrowing them from the UK in recognition that all their past strategies have worked so splendidly and because they have kept their mortality rate down to a mere 338% higher rate the global average.
Quite frankly I think Australia should look very seriously at adopting this initiative too…
Cheers
Col

BAA baa baaaaaabaaaaa BAaaabaaAA?
human translation:
‘dear sir, where is this ‘fight club’ pls?’
xD HA HA
you take care heaps Col :)
for the record, the bad weather is prob likely a terminal case of ‘lavabit’… coz the other opposing possibility is too crushing for ‘humanity’, esp for one person… speaking karmic burden
will you consider amendment to ‘once a week’? day? you’re a good sport mate Col!
was suddenly near death dog sick for a while… heck! guess times not up 4mua!!! they say, what cannot kill you…!!!
lots of pieces moving ppl, we can talk about plenty of new and up coming stuff,
not yesterdays fakenews of ‘thingeeee’…
dont be fooled by the optics, friend!
what does not exist is dead at pre-brith!!! (read again) everything else is mere shadow dancing! (read again)
I am currently considering (an intention only not exactly motivation xD) doing a deconstruction of the entire ‘thingeee’ even like post 9one1 analysis and show you how they do it!!! (and where to from ‘here’ of dear A has started)
of course, you get it only from dear A, if and as she choose to ‘dispatch’ it…
if, no promise… its quite safe now since circus is pronounced dead (that means the clean-up team is coimng in for the job!) but I am kinda too … lazy to do the prying-mantis kungfu chopping w 2 fingers-only on the keyboard… plus Zorin released a new 16Core and I am thinking to clean install but… nah… too comfy molding my S on this soft patch! WHAAAA? I sat on my… my cat is dead!!! XD HA
okie Col and all, bad weather is just that… never return are for those who dont survive! Fair?!
see All you around :)
…and also in the new community page smth :)
back to meditation (or OBE 4mua)
why hang around fixed earth-plane when the dimension(s) is/are ever event-horizon?! by imagination :) (aka activation of the 3rdeye)
you know the drill for survival… (while the optics cont to fade and the clean-up team push thier power button!)
learn to weaponize the fork for your self defense at your local lv.
let’s map the ‘brave new world future’ together here at the Cafe! (I’ll start: geo borders are getting Real! fuzzy and country labels are just that, more labels than country)
bwbs
p/s fightclub only exist if you get the link! but we still gotta keep the surface Cafe business going rite?! wink! ;D cheers, this one one mua!!!!
I recommend meditation practised as in – body experience rather than OBE. All the realms are found within.
Glad you’re better. I was wondering what happened with you.
Best wishes
Well, this is what it all comes down to: 823 afghan civilians on one flight out.

Some days ago the Saker’s RSS feed for RT had an article about Russians trading their savings from dollars to euros and other foreign currencies. What got me interested was the euro part.
https://www.rt.com/business/531928-russians-dump-us-dollar-savings/
One the one hand I can see where they’re coming from. Setting aside geographical and economic connections (i.e. Russia’s trade and close proximity with the EU), I’ve talked about the physical US dollar’s shortcomings as an everyday currency at least once, and I doubt it needs any introduction (unless you’re wondering, in which case let me know and I’ll write back). On the other hand, with certain folks uncertain about the euro’s future (e.g. discussions of the euro’s downfall), is the situation with the euro any better or worse than the US dollar, or are they equally as bad?
It appears that ones currency is directly related to the citizens (first, and secondly different country’s) confidence with its own gvt and then spills over to trade w/ different countries.
Seemed like a strange comparison but once linked with social unrest the actual currency doesn’t seem affected until just after the collapse, then it becomes a game of resources.
The social unrest is slowly building but the ideological differences have always been there and are the root of todays restlessness. I don’t think there is any where to go but down from here.
I opened a new refreshed Chatter and Jabber thread over in the community site and the old one is right there as well with all of de Lepre’s wonderful and regular information at your fingertips.
The new one is here: https://saker.community/topic/new-chatter-and-jabber-thread-saturday-august-21/
And if you go here, you can access the previous thread with all information gathered together.
https://saker.community/forum/forum/
This little library is growing.
So, there is something in the new thread, something new, something that may be necessary to talk about but we’ve not had guidance (or hope) so far. There is an early ‘recipe’ there – a hopeful one.
It’s nice to post stuff in an environment of no hysteria and thanks to the regular 200 to 300 or so readers. I need to go through my email and post up the worthies as I’ve had a barrage of information.
I see regular banned topics on the Reader’s Selected News on the sidebar. Folks we have a good place to post those. Could I ask that you kindly post that information somewhere else?
There seems to be a difficulty in registering with saker.community website, have tried several times with no success.
Sudhi, if I have your permission to use your email, I’ll set up a registration for you. I don’t see anything on my side, but then again, we all may be a little blind at this stage :-)
Amarynth, please go ahead and use my email to set up the registration.
Thank you.
Either there is no confirmation email or when trying to register on saker.community I get these messages –

The username as well as the email given for registration is the same as on thesaker website.
amarynth,
Many thanks for your help in registering my user account.
Just gave the new page a try, seems to work well…latest from sis posted.
Thanks amarynth, seeing lots of ‘unmasked’ defiant protesters worldwide, that news seems to be missing from the MSM. In the new Dr Martin interview I posted he talks about the designed, pre arranged, Main Stream Media compliance to ‘sell’ (his word), the pandemic to the public………create fear, check, create panic, check, create mass psychosis, gooooooooooooooooooooal (I think that’s Italian, I hear it at soccer games :) ) Off into uncharted water we go.
Cheers, M
maybe it’s psychological difficulties rather than technical, since many appear to share the same problem ?
From a Russian friend of mine:
US and UK forgot Ukrainian soldiers in Afganistan. Real friends. Now Russian ambassador trying to save them… Germans decided to withdraw 22 000 ltrs of Beer instead of Ukrainians ooooooh.
And a video on the situation,but only in Russian:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5ODWUipL9Y&ab_channel=%D0%9D%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%A0%D0%A3
I read somewhere the Talibs mistook the Ukrainians for Russians and let them pass. Imagine that coin toss, “heads, we wear Burka, tails we speak Russian….screw the coin toss, it’s Russian.”
Cheers, M
I think there are different levels of greed over there. Some of these so called friends were told (guilty enough of something) the Taliban were coming and to get rid of your passports so as to not be taken prisoner.
But once the Taliban arrived and no disturbances arose and said you can leave just show your passports at the airport, well these folks didn’t have theirs and actually caused there own catastrophe.
I mean these people really dont know what they are doing.
Haha,busted:
The head of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, “thanked” the Ukrainian leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, for the timely payment of his apartment in Livadia.
In Russian:

Aaah, sometimes it is time for despair. Per/Norway posted a piece from Pat Lang’s blog in the sidebar and I went to take a look. Oh boy .. these old boys are ready to start the war all over again. And you cannot say anything, then they insult you. (Not that I wanted to say anything anyway except grumble in my own kitchen).
These people are made and designed as warmongers. There is no war that they do not like. They have to create enemies. They are butthurt on the Afghanistan thing because they lost spectacularly and still in the process of failing spectacularly. I am on the fence regarding the Taliban because there is much that we do not know. How did they really develop in these last 20 years? Are they humans now? I just don’t know. But these old boys are ready to go to war again fer God’s sakes. No word about Israel and their continual wiping out of the Palestinians .. no, these people are not worried about that. But, they insist they must go and make war again against the Taliban because .. ‘poor Afghans’. They are ready to start another civil war.
What in heaven’s name am I missing here? Does it not get into their heads that the Taliban is about the only force that can keep that place free from war. I thought we had reasonable people left in the US. (OK, back to grumbling in my own kitchen :-)
amarynth, it’s the same B52 bombing of South Lebenon he bleeted about before, sore f’n losers the lot of them….they don’t see the entire carton of eggs dripping off their faces. Warmongering bastards. They lost. Period, so now the ‘Massod’ option “if we can’t have it, no one can”. That mindset….good God, the sooner they go the way of the dinosaur the better for all.
Cheers, M
I couldn’t finnish the article……and to comment, guess I’m not saying the right things, ‘God, flag and apple pie!’
I was going to link two articles from there yesterday…….but they don’t need the air time, promoting war and outright hatred.
« I see regular banned topics on the Reader’s Selected News on the sidebar. Folks we have a good place to post those. Could I ask that you kindly post that information somewhere else?»
Really! You Are Being to kind, and this is now getting beyond ridiculous!
Kent
Yes, but one must first block some holes.
I am being kind, as I don’t like to see posters being banned. I would rather make a low-key request to reduce that possibility.
I am being kind as I give alternative space for the serious to discuss without moderation. There is nothing in this for me, excepting extra work, which I need like a hole in my own head. These would be the ones that can discuss the work and are not into drive-by link-dropping, pumping up the low base notes of fear volume.
I am being kind because I act as a middle-man for much commenting where people do not want to put themselves out. For those, I post their work and their comments, with me being in the middle. I do that for them, but actually, there is nothing in that for me. Only an act of kindness to people that are serious but scared. This has happened on all topics, whether I agree or not, to give a level of safety if I am asked – and believe me, I am asked.
None of these kindnesses I have to do, yet, many know I do that for them and they have always received a kind response from me.
Now let’s see your kindness because I think I am all ‘kinded out!’.
I don’t have to teach you this. You know it better than I.

When people talk about exploiting the masses due to covid policy what people also need to understand is that too much of the alt media exploited covid for click bait purposes and to profit themselves.
I can give you names but decided I won’t give these names. Cry me a river for the various business strategy changes that people with my skillset were trained in, and therefore recognize. It is an extreme kindness that I don’t rip that lot to pieces. People will learn in their time.
