Saker Message:
Some here may recognize the name Robert David Steele. (I had my own thoughts about him fer sure but that is not the issue now).
If you know the name, please read this piece and kindly tell me if it is the same man?
https://saker.community/topic/new-chatter-and-jabber-thread-saturday-august-28/#post-6134
One of the far right megaphones, like Alex Jones, who, sadly, lost the health battle.
Is it the same man ?
If one forms ideas and opinions of another based upon the presentation image they project at any given time, and in tandem with ones own bias, then changes, altogether, are hard to assimilate
Life is never simple, though many wish it so and suffer the delusion that this the case.
Simplicity is the highest achievement and seldom realized.
Simplicity is what we humans make complexity out of.
Oh yes, but I was inferring the making, or creation of simplicity out of complexity.
That would be the taking of the ‘manity’ out of Hu-manity, thus leaving the Hu or HU, the vibration or essence/hum behind all of life. This HU, which is the legendary Lost Word, nor less – is a bridge between Heaven and Earth – and will unfailingly reduce complexity to its most essential parts. Since HU is the Sound of the Holy Spirit and Soul is created out of the same Holy Spirit, and, needing to maintain our individual centre and connection to the Life Force, we do so by intoning this mantra, name or song, ( or any of its variations ) which we offer up as a love song to the Creator and indeed all of life. The mantra acts much like a tuning fork.
We do this to maintain a balance as pertains to living in the complexity of todays world.
If I Try
If I try to touch the sun,
I’m not the first and only one.
Should I succeed or should I fail,
Or if indeed, I come undone
I’ll do my best to carry on
And live with all that I become,
But if I don’t I surely won’t,
So stand aside, cause here I come!
every day is my day
every breath does bring
a new breath
fate does often bring
every day a new day
I posted a screen shot of Pifzer’s strong arm tactics on the chatter page, if it doesn’t open I’ll transcribe it.
Cheers, M
thanks sean the leprechaun :)

Techie help request….
I have bookmarked a tweet from Aug 16.
I want to archive as I know it will be deleted in 3-2-1 when I link it here.
Tried archive.is, but couldn’t make it past the capcha…… any other ideas.?
It’s pertinent to Afghanistan and the deaths at the Kabul airport Baron gate.
You can try
https://archive.is/
and/or
https://archive.ph/
I don’t know what is the difference. I use the first one usually. Unfortunately, for some reason it never seems to work with PDF files, at least for me. I never had to go through captcha, ever. Strange.
Then there is
https://web.archive.org/
but they sometimes hide certain pages for political reasons.
If you are using Firefox there is a good add-on for archiving called Resurrect Pages. It makes a process much more convenient.
Hello helpful anon.
So archive.is I had originally tried….it would not let me pass thru the captcha gate.
Tried your second suggestion……. it saved and looked good, but it then also wanted captcha to complete.
Captcha said no.
Tried the way back machine…… it says the page is currently on the web…. so it doesn’t seem to want to play either.
I think my problems with captcha are because I am attempting to have my webuse outside google/ main tracking stuff. I am probably deluding myself, but because google “doesn’t know who I am, it won’t let me play with their toys,
@Amarynth.
The tweet is not deleted. It’s still up along with the comments.
It will be deleted in 3-2-1 if I post it to this blog ….. as the significance will be immediately understood.
So I want to archive before posting the raw link.
I already have it screenshot and saved to my device.
But this blog doesn’t allow upload of images…..so me having my own copy can’t be shared.
Any one with other suggestions?
Maybe maybe I could send it through and a mod or web clever person could archive before publishing ?????
“Tried the way back machine…… it says the page is currently on the web…. so it doesn’t seem to want to play either. “
Well, I think this is ok. I think it always says:
“Hrm.
The Wayback Machine has not archived that URL.
This page is available on the web!”
If you scroll a little bit down the page it says: “Help make the Wayback Machine more complete!”
And just bellow that there is a button: “Save this url in the Wayback Machine”
Just clik the button.
Then a new page is opened which has your url written in the box and “Save error pages …[something] …” is ticked by default. Here, there is another button “Save page” and you have to click this button too!
After that it saves your page. Wait for a web archive to finish saving and then you can click the link of your page, which is now ‘clickable’.
Sometimes there are glitches and you have to repeat the process later, but mostly it works fine.
A deleted tweet is a deleted tweet. It gets cleaned up just about everywhere. Best is to take a screenshot, save it as a jpg or png, and keep it on your own computer in that form. If you want to show the image then after they delete it, I can load it up for you so that you have a link to point to.
Florida Man Explains Why Florida Is Bat**** Insane
https://medium.com/thinkpiece-magazine/florida-man-explains-why-florida-is-insane-f466d6bc589
Enjoy.

I can testify to all of that stuff. Lived in Florida for many years and can add my own quips to those. Here is a song, when ‘they blew the circuit breakers at the souvenir shop’. Sweet funny story (but life was simpler).
Jimmy Buffet – Bob Roberts Society Band
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALSOMQoumCc
Longtimeago Mr P was fishing at the river, and a fella from Florida, who carried a gun and had a nice dog and a pretty sister came along and told about growing up (?) in Florida. Educated with degree in microbiology, he made his living (paid his way through college and grad school and “post graduate experiments”) doing synthesis of prohibited substances, he said. Precursor chem in drum from DIA with radio tracker? Youbetcha. Lead cops on merry chase through swamp, crazy ivan u turn and attack cops by attempted ramming. Cops then splash happily with swamp creatures…and so on.
It became quite clear that, if such story was true, Florida was an asylum…great place to not go!
I’m pretty sure everybody involved is dead by now, but I heard that fella went straight and discontinued his crime spree. Went to some government lab somewherez…Funny, I can’t recall his name…If I could recall, and if I could chat with that fella, I’d like to hear more stories. Bet he’s got (had) plenty…ahem.
Kent,
Thanks!! I did enjoy the Florida piece…..because it’s true!
Maybe it’s just me, but sure seems like there is a virtual draft blowing through the MFC the last few days…..probably just me.
Kent put me into a time warp and I’m listening to all that parrot head music of old and fun and sailing times.
Here is one for you:

By: jimmy buffett
1977
I took off for a weekend last month
Just to try and recall the whole year
All of the faces and all of the places
Wonderin where they all disappeared
I didn’t ponder the question too long
I was hungry and went out for a bite
Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum
And we wound up drinkin all night
Chorus:
Its these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of our running and all of our cunning
If we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane
Reading departure signs in some big airport
Reminds me of the places I’ve been
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure
Makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomorrow
I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son of a bitches
I’ve seen more than I can recall
Chorus:
These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
Through all of the islands and all of the highlands
If we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane
I think about paris when I’m high on red wine
I wish I could jump on a plane
So many nights I just dream of the ocean
God I wish I was sailin again
Oh, yesterdays over my shoulder
So I can’t look back for too long
There’s just too much to see waiting in front of me
And I know that I just can’t go wrong
Chorus:
With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of my running and all of my cunning
If I couldn’t laugh I just would go insane
If we couldn’t laugh we just would go insane
If we werent all crazy we would go insane

I’ve just posted a very good CAF video over at the end of this thread:
https://saker.community/topic/new-chatter-and-jabber-thread-saturday-august-28/
There are other updates as well.
We’ve been talking about the Japanese development of bioweapons. There is a pdf in there at the end of that thread, specifically on this. Again, details that I did not know. Where were the leaders of squad 731 trained, for example.
Enough already – I gotto go to do some real work.
Thanks dear amarynth dear :)
remember :) REM sleep is as important as vit D/C :)
trouble days, dear, will never end, dear :) there is always gonna be ‘smth else’! why? but why?! coz there is yin, there must also be yang! dear :) so better to get full REM sleep ya?!

Hi A
I am ‘assuming” your identity as the commentator who is Chinese and living in China, but had an academic career in Australia.
If my assumption is correct, were you in Australia in 1996, when the Australian Institute of Health, Law and Politics was founded?
I ask because of your reference to this:
Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights
O my, I slipped a Freudian
that should have been …Health Law and Ethics
dear Babuška my reply post didnt not make it here. I only reply as it is you :) otherwise I no longer post here other than a few special ‘someone’. pls stay safe :) all the best :)

The truckers down under have it sorted anyhow: – driver :”the problem is, people are not talking to each other” – no worries mate !
https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/world/australia-new-zealand-to-be-shut-down-by-truckers-on-aug-31-to-throw-off-the-government

One commentator, whose name I have intentionally omitted, says:
How can we be certain that 330 million people, minus any troops serving the USian military, committed murders in Afghanistan such that they deserve the destruction caused by a natural disaster? Certainly the politicians who created this mess in the first place are the one to blame, but the people?!
If the blanket condemnation were not bad enough already, there’s also the tying of natural disasters with the wrath of an angry God. I don’t know about you, but I would consider this to be witchcraft – in this New Testament era, a loving God would not willingly harm His children, let alone play favorites.
Maybe the simplest answer to all this could be that not everyone in the world realizes that tolerance is not a one-way street.
Young Abe argued with God about the destruction of Sodom, because there were some righteous people there…but he seems to have accepted the 10% principle…. eg 10% no smash.
That was the old Jewish God, of course.
Jesus would, people say, take the principle of forgiveness, of love, and spare the city.
At the present time the people in the US, probably 95+ %, believe the most astonishing lies and are functionally delusional. In the US just now it is not possible to engage in honest dialogue because of this vast delusional miasma.
Comrade Brother Ray McGovern reminds us of see eye eh director Casey’s big big plan to create this delusional arena. (see his website)
One does not smash or even blame crazy people.
There is, they say, a partial list of the guilty. Some say that those good people who signed the PNAC document, would be a fair start of any proper investigation. Naturally that good man, Casey, is no longer available.
Along the line of an insane period, I am reading with a sharp pencil “Master and Margareta”. Forming my own ideas from Bulgakov’s manuscript, the one that does not burn. And I would like to hear the ideas other have formed from the story.
…………
A blunt view of the Afnamistan @ club orlov > “…occupation of Afghanistan was rationalized based on an entire edifice of lies. At its foundation lay the lie of Nineleven. Above …” Comrade Brother Orlov minces his words, sometimes.
And I am recalling the principle of the relationship between lies and violence.
The brainwashing of the US population, I probably won’t underestimate. But they have lives too.
Yes, and most are decent people. Nevertheless they have a-priori assumption of “special-ness” hammered in, and many other silly idea…One of the Chinese bigwigs long ago said “the most delightful thing about Americans is their complete lack of historical knowledge”…or words to that substance. Imagine floating in a vast darkness and hearing voices, seeing images, endlessly….and that your safety depends on behaving as if these voices and images spoke the truth…
Brother Andrei (/why-the-current-hysteria/ ) expects…well read the essay, I don’t want to misrepresent his views. It seems to follow that the federal structure will fail when, after looting the treasury, the junta stiffs the military, and like Rome, fails to pay the army, so to say.
After that, loyalties resolve to the several states and regions. Like in 1860 when Lee followed his oath of allegiance to Virginia, but messier.
Like Carlin said, we have a front row seat at the freak show.
We’ll perhaps see Hawaii re-assert the Sovereign King. Alaska re-united with Mother…frogs, locusts, rocks bleeding, the seas turn red, weird chit. I must find the flags to welcome the fellas for we’re invaded by peace-keeping soldiers from China and Russia…
@ Mr P
“𝘓𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘯 1860 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘓𝘦𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘝𝘪𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘢, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘦𝘳.”
30 years ago, I read one of most moving historical novels – Michael Shaara’s The Killer Angels. It brought tears to my eyes.
Lee was revered by both sides and to this day by anyone with a sense of honor. He was offered the northern army, but as you note, chose to stay with his state and face inevitable loss given the correlation of forces.
Yet look at what is being done to his memorials, even within the heart of Virginia:
https://sputniknews.com/us/202109021083779889-virginia-supreme-court-rules-state-can-remove-richmonds-statue-of-confederate-gen-lee/
This is how to dynamite a union. Isn’t most of US mil from the south, the part with martial tradition, of which Robert E Lee was the epitome?
So we don’t distract from Aram Mirzaei’s excellent post, this is in reply to Mr. MacGregor’s comment from: /this-is-what-a-dying-empire-looks-like/#comment-970067
Yes, you are right it is more likely influence on the bosses. It is not practical to approach thousands of police districts, but the climate is being set from the top.
The question is why? Is it reflexive, like a political action group courting a constituency, to better attach USA to Israel, or something more?
Pax America has been collapsing for some time.
In anticipation, and in order to avoid anarchy and maintain a semblance of order, would not the police have to be prepared and retrained? This is what made me interested in the changed mindset in US police and Israeli connections. Creating extreme groups like BLM/Antifa has been effective too at shaping police attitudes towards their streets.
Or is it quite simple, this has nothing to do with gradually dismantling the US Empire, and that the old dialectic game has been afoot, a divide and rule, to keep US populace busy with internal strife while the old shenanigans continue in distant lands? If so, they have reaped the whirlwind, the internal US situation now is consuming them, they are running out of resources and time to deal with other fronts.
Thanks
Hanging a man from a helicopter. Larchmonter mentioned this in one of the Afghanistan threads, but I have no idea where, so I leave this here incase he pops in. Bear in mind I cannot verify the info.
Just check these two tweets. Both came from SyrianGirl’s Twitter stream
https://twitter.com/Shayan86/status/1432713377445462021
https://twitter.com/bsarwary/status/1432741986545676288
I think he may have also mentioned folk musicians being murdered. Of course, no evidence to back the assertion, as usual.
This snarky comment is truly uncalled for. You may be sure if he mentions something, he has something. Neither are the Twitter threads that I posted here reliable as ‘evidence’. I just left a little information here for him, and you try to use this little feather to attempt to create some chickens. Not cool.
If I wish to make a point, and decide to reference it, why would I do so without a reliable, evidence based source?
Does L45 require a “little information” not necessarily reliable, or any other intelligent person here for that matter?
I’m not trying to be under hand, just objective.
It’s not snark. If he has something, why doesn’t he share it with us instead of making evidence-free accusations? There are too many people, and sadly many here, shooting off at the mouth about all the evils that the Taliban are going to commit with zero evidence to back their claims. Reliable numbers are hard to come by but it seems that about 50,000 civilians have been killed over the two decades of the war, almost half of them women and children. And yet for some, it seems, that is preferable to the imagined horrors that women will now face under the Taliban. Why the rush to condemn the Taliban before they have even formed a government? Whose agenda does that serve? I pray that the Taliban leadership is listening closely to the counsel that I am sure it is receiving from Russian and Chinese diplomats. As for being “not cool”, well you nailed that one…that’s definitely me.
OK, hopefully this is the end of this stuff.
The singer that was killed by presumably (via reports by the family) the Taliban was so widely reported all over the world that I have to ask if you guys were living under a rock?.
Now, go and do a simple search and you will find literally thousands of media reports and this does not include Tweets or Essays or the non-search-indexed media.
I don’t know where you were to have missed this and asking for a link confirms that some people are not up to date and then try and blame others for it.
If you do not know it yet, let me repeat .. there are widespead reports and family interviews that the Taliban killed a singer in a province described as a ‘restive’ province.
“The shooting of a folk singer in a tense region north of Kabul was bound to contribute to such fears. Fawad Andarabi’s family said the Taliban shot him for no reason, just days after they had searched his home and drank tea with him.
“He was innocent, a singer who only was entertaining people,” his son, Jawad, said. “They shot him in the head on the farm.”
The shooting happened in the Andarabi Valley, for which the family is named, some 100 kilometers (60 miles) north of Kabul, where the Taliban battled local fighters even after seizing the capital. The Taliban say they have retaken the region, which is near mountainous Panjshir, the only one of Afghanistan’s 34 provinces not under Taliban control.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said his group would investigate the shooting, without providing any further information. The Taliban banned music as un-Islamic when they last ruled the country.
Andarabi played the ghichak, a bowed lute, and sang traditional songs about his birthplace, his people and the country. A video online showed him at one performance, sitting on a rug with the mountains behind him.
“There is no country in the world like my homeland, a proud nation,” he sang. “Our beautiful valley, our great-grandparents’ homeland.”
Karima Bennoune, the United Nations special rapporteur on cultural rights, said she had “grave concern” over Andarabi’s killing. “We call on governments to demand the Taliban respect the #humanrights of #artists,” she tweeted. ”
You all are able to use a search engine to search yes?
You know how to follow Zabihullah’s tweets yes?: https://twitter.com/Zabehulah_M33
Click on the tweet, it will open in a new page and on the left hand side bottom of the tweet is a ‘translate this tweet’ link. Click on that and it will auto translate.
“OK, hopefully this is the end of this stuff.”
I am not sure to what you refer by this “Stuff”, as the explanation of the life, times and death of Fawad Andarabi, was not my point above, anyway, but the twitter route to what is presented by the media as truth.
Leaving that aside, all events can be blurred, manufactured, blown out of proportion, or half truths. We do know however, that “the Taliban” comprises peoples of different interests and agendas.
And as for this : “You all are able to use a search engine to search yes?
You know how to follow Zabihullah’s tweets yes?”
Does it ever occur that so many commentators may have left because they do not wish to be spoken to like a recreant pre school child ? Departing in disappointment, disgust, or plain boredom, many of whom are or were, clearly far more intelligent than you are, wider perspectives, greater insight ? It may be worth while considering this question, especially if desiring any future, bare modicum, of harmony.
Forgive me for just not caring which link Larchmonter added, and which not, and what he ‘should have done’ and what he did not do. My level of interest is zero.
Forgive me for treating those who whine about that, like whiners – because they do not do a modicum of research for themselves.
As for the rest, my tolerance for social game playing and ‘correctness’ is zero.
I’ll play a little violin for you. A little finger violin – a tiny little one. Feel free to hard ignore me in the future. I give you permission. I won’t feel bad, promise.

I once said before: what grinds my gears is seeing anyone salivate over the prospect of Russia severing ties with Europe on a permanent basis. Not that I am willing to accuse anyone of that just yet, let alone the ‘salivate’ part.
https://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/2021/09/read-my-lips.html
Here, Mr. Martyanov mentions Shoigu’s proposal to build new cities in Siberia and potentially move the capital in one of them.
Further development of Siberia is understandable, I don’t mind. But how can we be certain that this is an indicator that “Russia wrapped it up with Europe”? Was there any mention of e.g. strained relations with Europe in official documents or statements?
joey_n, Read the Lavrov speech posted up this morning.
Well, thanks for the tip.
But even after reading Lavrov’s speech I’m not sure if it’s supposed to refute what Mr. Martyanov says. Maybe it implies that it’s not the end of the road for Euro-Russian relations?
I’ve been watching with amazement the stuff coming from CAF and the Solari Report. Cash Fridays, Hold onto your cash, a total rubbishing of digital currencies and truly, I did not understand it. I could not figure out why but could not even think that CAF went dumb overnight. She is a highly intelligent woman and I have a lot of respect for her. So, I kept listening and keeping a position ‘on the fence’.
Now I get it! and from the summary of her 2nd quarter wrap-up. It is now clear why I did not see her latest interviews and so on as applicable. Here is the summary and I bold the piece that made the penny drop for me:
2nd Quarter 2021 Wrap Up: CBDCs – Why You Want to Hold on to Your Cash with John Titus
“This week, we finalize our 2nd Quarter 2021 Wrap Up by discussing our theme: CBDCs—Why You Want to Hold on to Your Cash with John Titus.
It is essential to understand the proposals underway. In my opinion, CBDCS (central bank digital currencies) are an essential part of the ongoing financial coup d’état which—if successful—will end constitutional government and human liberties in the U.S. and G7 nations. You need to take this seriously. If the existing plans are implemented for vaccine passports, you will not have to worry about how to manage your assets. It is possible that you may not have any assets. So, this is a topic well worth your attention and action.”
So again we see the bifurcation between what we use as working terms, ZoneA and ZoneB. I truly think that those were somewhat visionary terms by The Saker. Now that I get her context, I understand CAF’s stuff again.
I had a convo with one of the ‘well-known names’ in our wide resistance community yesterday and mentioned that the polarization between these Zones is now so wide, that people like I almost cannot understand the ZoneA’ers any longer and they certainly do not seem to understand us ZoneB’ers. Remembering a conversation here in the Cafe about the middle of last year when I said that people need to be careful (it was a very emotional time), because they all call The Whole World into their words, and it is just not so. Folks were very angry with me at the time, as it felt as if I had pulled away a little ground under the feet.
So, this all leads to a question. I would like to see this Cafe continue into the future somewhat harmoniously, despite The Saker’s announcement that we will be much more ZoneB focused from now on. We’ve personally just about rejected most ZoneA’ers from our direct circle of friends as I cannot stand some of them and think they are mostly certifiably nuts, excepting for those that are not and there is a number of those right here.
How do we keep the peace while the world is breaking with one section going down the tubes and the other building the new? Is this even a question?
We are hard-wired, by at least 200,000 years of evolution, to be comfortable in the intimate company of up to about 30 people. So love thine own and love thy neighbours. And seek community beyond that in your neighborhood. And speak up in wider circles, as far as your ambition and imagination will fly. The rest is in the lap of the gods. To enjoy life is the best answer to the tyrants. And don’t forget to laugh at them. They hate that.
I have the utmost respect for the insight, experience and “street smarts” of CAF.
She has spoken of this digital transformation that is coming for a long time, in concert with Patrick Wood. He exposed the Technocracy behind this Great Reset a long time ago.
Please peruse his excellent website to get a background on technocracy and to get a sense of how CBDCs are part of a construct.
https://www.technocracy.news/
Anecdotally, it is the boomers (and older) and some minorities in the US who appreciate the sovereignty inherent in cash. Black Americans and others who continue to pay bills using money orders at the postal office to avoid being profiled by Uncle Sam. Once profiled, you are part of a database. And what opportunities do those databases present to busy little managers, such as those influenced by Soros et al?
Yes, the divide grows between the Zones. It is hard for normal busy people to comprehend the malignancy and betrayal in motion now. As a medical professional, I am endlessly saddened to see that my kind and public health officialdom and politicians will become persona non grata shortly, once it becomes understood how vaccine passports are being leveraged to establish a digital identity essential to CBDCs and in which we humans are the collateral. Maybe I will ditch the white coat and pretend to be dexterous veterinarian! Our Lord created us free and they want to enslave all?! Sharpen the guillotines.
Maybe a more pressing issue is that they are stuck. They rolled the dice and are sacrificing the 300-year public trust of the medical establishment (who replaced the clergy in effect), and liberalism itself, but need everyone to participate everywhere without exception before the trick is up. Yet Zone B is not playing game. This is part of the hysterics we see on MSM.
PS- now you understand part of my gripe with technology! Indeed we may soon envy the Amish and Pashtun mountain herders.
A.H.H.
I’m a “Boomer” born in 47,’ the 5th of 11 siblings, 5th generation Prussians in Indiana dairy farmers, wounded Nam vet, Purdue/Krannert graduate, retired home builder, successful husband and father of world class aero-engineer, who understands exactly what you say about Amish and Pashtun mountain herders. Cash is King. “Capital” is profit from efficient production. Real money represents efficient production. The majority of my wealth makes a noise when you rap your knuckles on it. Other items have color that fables are written about. My martial skills are still world class at this late date. I was raised very much like the Amish and was a “herder” at a very young age. I am not alone. I do understand the “zones” and walk freely between and among them. Technology allows me to do such. I use technology and don’t allow it to use me. Klaus Scwab et al will fail. They always do. The “Jab” will fail them as natural humans will continue to outnumber the weak who take their poison.

My sincere respects Steve. I pray you are correct.
My father was born in 1941, 6th of 10 siblings. About three years ago we were on a trek and he was able to walk me into the ground. Tough generation. More grit, clarity of mind, self-reliance, and purpose. Better lifestyle and health in their primes.
At least in Zone A, I have observed each subsequent generation has degenerated, for a host of reasons. How much resistance will the urban youth nowadays provide – distracted, debt-burdened and firmly plugged into their comfortable matrix?
I am a hopeless optimist, but we are on a razor’s edge.
You put it simply and beautifully. We will regain true sovereignty once a critical mass understand “𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘫𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘢 𝘯𝘰𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘢𝘱 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘬𝘯𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘵.”
Couldn’t we possibly define the Zone’s by awareness rather than through geographical boundaries –
Zone A = non-awareness
Zone B = awareness
In this age of interconnectivity through technology, as well as, ‘social’ or personal ‘distancing’, do geographical boundaries matter ?
Isn’t the closeness in thoughts, beliefs, values and ideas amongst people more important.

I don’t know if you spend much time in the Cafe but, if you are passing by, how is our young writer in the Donbas going? Will you invite her to submit an article, perhaps describing how things are going now for her, her family, friends and community there? Are things getting any better? I hope so. Best wishes,
hopefully, not a drive by on chatter, I did leave some leprechaun hot air.
Cheers, M
There is a response to you .. a small one – on account of exhaustion last evening. But a good night’s sleep is medicine and the coffee tastes wonderful.
There is also the issue of a typo … and I’m beating myself upside the head here.
