Someone was asking if Robert David Steele, who recently died, was the same guy who was known in alternative media. He was. Circumstances of his death according to Juan O Savin:
Apparently Robert David Steele was on a two month long bus tour of small towns of America. He had been suffering for some time from what seemed to be chronic bronchitis, decided he needed oxygen, because the oxygen level of his blood was dangerously low. He felt the best way to get this was in a hospital. However, he signed a DNI (Do Not Intubate) form, to let them know he did not want to be intubated, because he believed, that up to 80% of people with respiratory problems who are intubated, die.
Meanwhile, he brought with him the substances that he had been taking, among them Ivermectin, HCL, Zinc, Vitamins C and D, and so on, thinking to continue them in the hospital.
However, at some point hospital personnel wanted to intubate him, and he was “combative” with them. So they administered a sedative, “probably intervenously,” after which they intubated him, and he subsequently died.

Murder, she wrote.
Probably black mold in the RV or bus he rented…a pandemic in the RV world that sellers don’t mention.
Possibly a radiation attack. Shortly before RDS became ill, such an attack was launched against many people in California during the “Patriot Street Fighter Tour.” This tour was initially part of the RDS tour, but after 3 stops, it branched off. Scott McKay, Sasha Stone, Dr. Brian Isley (Orange County Patriot Organizer) and others were hit with something that initially resembled Flu or Bronchitis or Covid but a nasty rash on the back developed. Isley was treated for radiation sickness and recovered quickly. The others are still somewhat affected. A read of “Undercover Epicenter Nurse” reveals that a Deep State modus operandi is to sedate, then get permission to intubate from the family, then the intubation from which you rarely wake up. It is the combination of powerful psychotropic drugs and prolonged inertness that kills you. RDS was sedated and intubated in Florida in which the Deep State has less traction, but not to say “none.” Also, Michael Jaco reports multiple attempts on his life. I have worried that Juan O Savin took such a moderate and tentative view of the truth behind the death of RDS. Assassination should be the thinking man’s first choice. WWG1WGA
The deaths from intubation appear caused by the bacteria mechanically driven down by the intubation process.
Antibiotics are essential
A chosen and favoured presentation image must continually be recreated. Out of flickering concepts it assails one, leaving chaos in the mind in its wake. Fragments of changing thoughts, wishes, pre-given assumptions of something displayed as having value but ultimately empty. This sad show, but an accepted, grotesque simulation, has to be continually transformed inside the reader, or spectator, consciously creating a harmonious, logical continuum
What will endure is what represents the onward flow of human development and growth, in whatever form or way, providing it has the ultimate goal of the individual’s freedom of thinking, and right to discern.
That this is utterly corrupted is shown by the decline into barbarism, by that which is below human dignity, and further, justifies itself by flaunting mockery.
Continuing from the start of the last café thread, and conversation with Dimitar, was my point concerning simplicity among chaos and complexity.
Humanity, Hu and Many, he rightly advised, and the powerful expression of this for the individual. Respect !
My sense of the word simplicity was to do with Art, the art of life, of all arts, and rarely if ever achieved now, dead in the water so to say. You can’t copy, mimic or fake it, no poetic sweetness and charming phrases for effect can do it. It will only arise truly represented when Godless days are over !
Be well be safe.
If, as it’s said, at the heart of Truth there is simplicity, then that simplicity can be reduced to the statement “God is Love”. Everyone will have a different interpretation of what love is, and of what living by the law of love, consists of, but, once again, we can simplify to ‘do unto others as you would have them do unto you’, etc. and come to some basic understanding.
We need to maintain good neighbourly relations with everyone, as much as is possible, at least, and this means respect of another’s property, their psychic space etc. and also maintaining our own psychic or private space, if we feel it’s ever threatened. More complexity. An example of simplicity in practical terms ( since we can only make changes from within and not impose our will on others ) would be willingness to forgive our neighbour ( or ourselves, if we made the transgression ), then make whatever efforts are necessary at reparation, repair etc.
If we accept that Truth lies ‘at the bottom of all things’, then we will continually make the effort to find that truth in all of our daily situations. This can be very challenging to which I can attest, as I’ve been dealing with a very difficult situation on a personal level, and what I’ve learnt is that if I don’t live the simplicity that I know, then life gets complicated very quickly.
We need to accept too, that sometimes when we feel engulfed by a situation, it may be a sign we have let something slide in our lives and need to return our attention to a particular aspect or area which we may have neglected. Like our health for example. How easy it is to lose our overall wellbeing by simply being lax where some of our dietary practices are concerned. Once again, a “simple mistake” can lead to a complex outcome.
I agree simplicity in art, design, business etc. is more effective than what to the eye, the senses, emotions and/or, mind, can appear complex at first glance. Personally, I always try to find the shortest possible route to clarity and therefore understanding, as far as my ideas go. The challenge continues on a daily basis.
To sum up, life can be both simple and complex at the same time and is for most of us. If we try to maintain our integrity ie; live what we know, ie; the simplicity of truth as we understand it, we will fare better than by adding fuel to the fire, which often starts out in a benign way, ie; we add our two cents worth, which then becomes ten cents, which then becomes a dollar etc. A few thoughts on simplicity vs complexity to kick around, lol.
I had a dream where I was communicating with someone, and technology had so advanced, they were playing music on a keyboard, and this was instantly transferred onto the internet, a large screen showing instant accompanying film of one or two people, (dream like but perfect,) moving about and talking silently.
Digital transference of life, screen stimulation, intoxicating, parallel autism universe. Take away the human responses and feelings and experiences of all kinds, just try that, because that is the reality of what happens, (on a subliminal, sub conscious level).
Be well, be safe.
P.S, In response to your response to my comment ! What can I say ? Not much, you’re right of course. Thankfully we human beans are possessed of failings as well as attributes, which gives life colour and dynamic; .. I will always seek to remain on good terms with my neighbour, feel bad if I do harm, and hope to make amends. The difficulty is, this has to be met, acknowledged. Right now, humanity is descending fast, act while you can..

China Rebuffs Kerry In Climate Talks: ‘We’ll Follow Our Own Roadmap”
China and US fail to reach climate agreement…
sigh :( when china outright refuse to meet them face to face, in the same room, human to human, the msg is clear! No?
how is it these dumbf dont get it and still rudely demand white supremacy and exceptionalism when they got jack to offer and/or trade w china? at least confess their war crime and beg for forgiveness! to begin w… if they want a more favourable deal after the forced default from their creditors now openly discussed…
so which phase is the great USA?
bwbs
p/s The Highwire with Del Bigtree released a new vid on the ‘thingee’ if you are still chasing that kind of stuff… this is the same doc that save om allegedly, and warn about the ‘dropping like flies’… I might conduct a quantum entanglement so the fightclub dossier appears in the rightful end point once the stargate are tunnel through ;) I think I figured ALL of their circus magik tricks out now! promise you’d burn after read!!! there is no fighclub!
The big decoupling is on.
Say cheers to the petrodollar. I give it until the next Olympic games (all other things remaining equal and on current trajectory) and wammo. (Anyone for a bet :-)
Which countries will survive a major economic ‘reset’ (not the Davos reset – that is just little stuff), that is where my mind is now.
Just these last few days .. besides John Kerry and his horse being told to stop playing games … I guess the words are that China will follow their own roadmap thank you very much bye John Kerry and thanks for visiting.
Putin and Xi both presenters at the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum.
China told the US to get out of there with the US trying to get them to take Afghan refugees. China just stated that their own work in the world does not create refugees, so, they will not help the US with their problem that they created all by themselves.
Russia stated that this brain-drain with pulling out Afghans is not good for Afghanistan. Those folks with skills must stay and start working on their country. (I guess that they don’t seem to think people are in such big danger as is being presented from western climes – I don’t know).
China told the US that their fentanyl problem is their problem .. and not China’s problem and to quit the story that China is smuggling in fentanyl to the US via Mexico and the US must properly schedule their drugs.
Wow .. I’m kinda reeling under all the China news. Mentioned here is but a drop in the bucket. It’s a big fat STFU and go home and go and fix your own problems idiots – this is the true tone – as well as, you’re no good for the rest of the world in your current state.
This is just the coolest amarynth! I love seeing China feeling her oats. It’s about time. The US and Biden in particular haven’t a LEGacy to stand on.
sean de lepre, kindly see comments in the previous cafe.
was there and left a note….
Cheers, M

Thanks so much. I’m taking it very easy this weekend and for a few days and will play and listen as soon as the early morning work is done and I switch off … gotta take a break from thinking lol
The Song of the Wayfarer
The valley is wide, the desert dry,
The ocean deep and mountain high.
It’s said there’s a land on the other side,
I’ve been given a horse and told to ride.
The days are hot, the nights are cold,
I’ve forsaken my friends and my home of old.
It’s said there’s a place where I’ll be consoled;
I’ve been given directions and a cloak of gold.
The journey is long, the journey is far,
The dangers are many and deep are the scars.
They say there’s a Lord who must be redressed
But hides his true face from the one who is blessed.
There’s a cry in the wilderness year after year
That only the faithful may know and may hear.
It’s said that the heart must trust and be true,
And all that’s been promised will follow on through.
“The turning seasons have honed thy skill,
The way it has narrowed and is narrowing still.
I say there’s a secret that heals the rift;
All who would love must return the gift!”
The valleys are wide and the deserts dry,
The oceans deep and the mountains high.
They say there’s a world beyond the sky…
I’ve been given wings and told to fly.
the tide brings forth a new journey, but
last season’s pleasurable journey still lingers
riding the boat of drowning moments
the eye seeks company of pilgrims
Awesome and Sudhi too. I used to not look at the poetry so much but the last couple of months it really grabs me. Thanks so much.
Thanks Ruben, great to have you on board. The standard of poetry is getting higher, dare I say it, and that’s as it should be.
And Sudhi, I concur with Ruben, yr lines are perfect. Beautiful, understated, clear and direct. Getting a response like this is my favourite part of this process.
Thanks Ruben, and we should all be thankful to Dimitar for his poems which inspire us to be better.
The land is far but oh so near
For the spiritual warrior who perseveres
Patience his armour, wisdom his spear,
He reaches the place where none live in fear
Arrows of kindness, compassion his bow
Circumspect in actions for we reap what we sow
Sword of truth, blazing with light
Puts to flight all creatures of night
Home at last, awake and free
Birthright of all humanity
Thanks to the nothingness
that takes away our being,
The world of being emerges
out of love for nothingness…
“Love for Nothingness”,
from “The Hidden Teachings of Rumi”, by Doug Marman.
This wakes brotherly feelings,
thank you Dimitar
mundo
those drowning memory moments in a boat
bobbing along quietly now as a swan afloat
sinking into the dark depths of Lethe’s river
unseen and unknown will be recalled again
I thought you might enjoy this one, mundo… cheers and best wishes, D.
Thanks also to you, anonymous, for your intriguing lines.
In eight days, America will pause to remember the 20th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 pre-planned destruction of buildings in the borough of Manhattan, New York and the Pentagon. The attack resulted in the deliberate murder of almost 3,000 people, which kicked off the U.S. Military’s WOT (War on Terror) in central Asia and in the Middle East.
There will be a great deal of communication by the national MSM propaganda outlets to try and justify the WOT and rest assured the Taliban will be the center talking point to keep Afghanistan front and center in the American peoples’ mind.
I would like to read somewhere (The Saker Blog, SmoothieX12, etc.) what the intelligence agencies of the Russian Federation stationed in the U.S. knew about the activities that were going on in the months or days prior to 9/11. I suspect the FSO (Federal Protective Services) had to know something catastrophic was being planned from the SVR (Foreign Intelligence Services) that week in order to protect the diplomats and other high officials who had offices in the United Nations building as well as the personal schedules of their families who lived in New York City in order to keep them out of harms way.
The SVR had some foreknowledge of this historic event simply because they have eyes and ears everywhere, especially in New York City.
I would be satisfied if a person who has sources in the SVR writes, “they knew everything but will disavow it for State security reasons.” Then at least I know that they knew the truth, even if it remains undisclosed until such time (if ever) the Russian powers-that-be will reveal the facts behind the planning and execution of such as horrific act against America.
For years and years I was always intrigued and suspicious of how and why Australian Prime Minister John Howard was doing in NYC the morning of 9/11.
I read recently his “fortuitous” presence (remember there are no coincidences) his being “johnny on the spot” allowed info to get passed thru the 5eyes, in real time, providing a comms channel outside the other US intel.
Seems more than possible.
@White Whale
If you haven’t saved a tweet yet, there is still a possibility you can do it. It is difficult to know by text description but I think on a web archive page you stopped too fast. See my answer in a previous cafe.
/moveable-feast-cafe-2021-08-30/#comment-970058
I don’t have social accounts to exchange messages, otherwise I would gladly save it for you.
Hello helpful anon?
When are you likely to be hanging out at the cafe?
I’ll swim past about 6pm Sunday sept 5 Washington US time.
Let’s see if we can connect.
The tweets I’d liked archived would have found a place in Sakers “Wanna see what a US ‘hero’ looks like and how they really behave?” thread from sept 3.
Let’s hope we can connect.
Thanks for reaching out to help
WW…
I am CET (Central European Time) which is 6 hours ahead of your time. I will keep an eye on “Wanna see what a US ‘hero’ looks like and how they really behave?” thread but I can’t stay up until midnight. I will try though. If you are reading this on time try to make it a little earlier. Otherwise I will check first thing in the morning.
Hi helpful anon.
Are u online?
Can we ………*link* up…. pun intended
Yes, let’s do it now. As soon as you see this comment, post your tweet in “Wanna see what a US ‘hero’ looks like and how they really behave?” thread. I will keep refreshing that page. It is 10:37 p.m. now.
Ok anon
The absolutely damning tweet of the US snipers in position at Kabul airport is up over at the degenerate US army thread.
Given how many died from gunshots as party of the suicide bombing, I’m confident that tweet will be removed.
Thanks for offering to archive.
One day, when my blood pressure and equilibrium has returned, I’ll tell the story of how hard I tried to archive myself.
Thanks for your help
(And thanks too, mod for fast uploads… anon needs his/her sleep)
Good morning helpful anon….
Thanks for archiving tweet last night.
I’ll find a way to “pay it forward” as a karmic gift to you.
Thanks
Via sputnik 2 articles…oh boy
Pakistan’s National Security Advisor Moeed W. Yusuf on Friday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s federal government in India for its Hindu mindset. In a series of tweets, Yusuf said that Modi’s Indiap poses a risk for the entire world and if the world doesn’t wake up to the reality, it will be too late. He asked the countries, who see India as a partner, to do a basic analysis to compare the Indian government’s mindset and actions of German dictator Adolf Hitler.
new comprehensive study has shed light on the multi-trillion cost of the US’ post-9/11 wars, which have been funded via soaring American debt. The researchers say that no single US government has yet presented the true picture of the toll the wars have taken on the United States. On 1 September, Brown University’s Costs of War Project released a report saying that the total budgetary costs and future obligations of the US post-9/11 wars are “about $8 trillion in current dollars”. This figure includes more than $2.1 trillion spent by the Pentagon, $1 trillion in interest payments, and $2.2 trillion on future health care obligations through 2050. The report also found that about 929,000 people had been killed in the US wars on terror.
Lullaby
Go to sleep my little one,
The day’s been long, we had our fun.
Close your eyes my sleepy head
And with the angels, off to bed.
See the gentle lambs so rare,
Gambolling in the meadow there;
We’ll call them in in ones and twos,
And count them all as they pass through.
Hear them bleat and hear them cry,
Hear them fuss and hear them sigh;
Until each one, now bleary-eyed,
Finds its place at mother’s side.
And when the lambs are all asleep,
The owl and snake will surely weep;
For dreams await and you must seek,
You have no time to stop and speak!
Go to sleep my little one,
The day’s been long, ’twas so much fun.
Close your eyes my sleepy head,
And with the angels, off to bed.
Dimitar
So sweet. Please forgive me. But anytime I encounter “lullaby”, this piece from Tim Minchin enters unbidden.
Not as sweet as yours, but it always amuses me.

With all due respect,
1. Under what metric do they determine certain behavior to be “effeminate”?
2. Where does one draw the line when it comes to “masculine” women? (And under which category do ‘tomboys’ fall into?)
when you stop looking through the western filter and programing, and start looking whats really happening in the east (not just china) then we can hv a proper convo.
since you are from the west, picture prob suits you better.

I am moving the following discussion with anonymous to the MFC as it is a worthless distraction from Pepe’s article:
/why-the-taliban-still-cant-form-a-government/#comment-971217
How does your rude dismissive tone and attitude advance any debate? Are you Hasbara troll? Do you proof-read your posts before posting? How can you slander with my text available one line above yours? What triggered you? That I spoke on Iran without flashing credentials? I have not displayed anything contemptuous or disparaging regarding Iran. On the contrary, I respect it. And I am not your student, do your own research!
If you cannot maintain basic civility don’t expect a response. You are raising completely tangential points to our discussion on Afghanistan. This is not a discussion on linguistics or ethnography. Even if Afghanistan was populated by Bantus, Iran would be trying to stabilize it now to protect itself. What do you think the Saker forum is for?
Or are you angry and bitter because you are realizing your humanity degree was complete BS especially from ivy leagues and Stanford? I assure you, you participated in an indoctrination camp. If you were Galician, they would have taught you to say “Glory to Ukraine!” Did you imbibe every drop of the Kool-Aid they gave you? Are we descended from apes too? Are Wikipedia and Google your trusted sources of information? The Empire has true expertise in two things: Wars of pillage and how to influence human psychology. Please take time to learn other perspectives – primary sources with integrity from Zone B; your real education can then begin.
I have many friends and acquaintances in the MENA. The region DOES have the shared memory I mentioned, whether Zone A whitewashes it out or whether you acknowledge it or not.
Incidentally i have observed a lot of self-debilitating racism among some Iranians; be proud of your entire heritage. Looking down on semites or arabs will not win you any brownie points in the swamp of DC. It will add to your isolation in the region. Perhaps for about a century now, elite Iranians played along with this Aryan mythology (primarily from the Germans even before Hitler) to draw themselves closer to Europe. Are they starting to believe the propaganda now?! This foolish racism towards arabs, on the part of Iranians, was prophesized by the Islamic Prophet to his Persian companion Salman. Do your own research!
Iranians don’t hate Arabs because of race.
Iranians hate Arabs because they killed Iranian men and raped Iranian women indiscriminately, burned every single book in Iran, and imposed a religion on Iran which even the grandsons of Mohamad himself rebelled against.
As far as Iranians are concerned, Iraqis, Syrians, Lebanese, etc, are not Arabs. They are just the descendents of poor helpless people whose countries were raped and destroyed by the Arabs. But whereas Iranians kept their language and culture, those peoples’ languages and cultures were completely erased to make room for a racist culture of Arab superiority.
Iranians had no derogatory racist term for Arabs. But the Arabs, as soon as they came to Iran, started calling Iranians “ajam”, whom they considered vastly inferior to Arab stock.
But the supposed inferiority of the Iranian race did not stop the Arabs from raping every single woman and child in Iran, and taking 9 year old Iranians as brides.
Well I rest my case.
Take up your pleasurable hatreds with the Arabs then.
And thanks for making me laugh – the cliched statements about what occurred almost 1.5 millennia ago!
Life is too short.
And in current apocalyptic conditions requires laser focus and wisdom.
If even a sizable minority among the influential Iranian elite think like you then I feel sorry for the prospects of peace in the region.
I sincerely hope you are a bored Hasbara punching in his clock.
Iran is the natural unifying leader.
But you will have divided yourselves from your neighbors, most of whom are Arab, whether you recognize them as such or not.
Truly much of mankind has become American, a pristine tabula rasa as far as regards genuine history.
You need to get off your high horse, accept your neighbors regardless of ancient hatreds, to avert common annihilation.
Otherwise you will all remain the tormented playthings of Empire.
“Now hatred is by far the longest pleasure; men love in haste but they detest at leisure.”
Lord Byron
What has brought Iran so far, has been its lack of willingness to compromise with its neighbors, or with anyone else. This lack of willingness comes from the feelings of disgust, contempt, and outright hatred which Iran, as a collective consciousness, feels about the actions of Israel, Saudi Arabia and the other Arab wretches, including the Lebanese government, and the USA.
If our hate and aversion towards them was not so paramount and supreme, that we could not even bring ourselves to sit at the same table with them, then we would have sat at the table and negotiated and not struggled and sacrificed so much.
We will see whose ideology and mentality is the more effective; the Resistance’ mentality of no compromise, or this neo-liberal “must work with our enemies” nonsense that you seem to espouse for us.
Iran will act and make decisions based on the history of Iran. Or in other words, it is the weight of Iran’s past which dictates its future, just as any nation. There is no getting around this. This is called Karma.
Perhaps if the misguided Arabs had never invaded Iran, we would live in a different world today, a world of friendship between Iran and Saudi Arabia. But we live in a world where if Iran does not work to defeat Saudi Arabia and Israel and others, Iran will die. Iran will be divided into many small states, and it will die after 4000 years as a nation.
If hatred for the Arabs and the Jews and the Us is what is keeping Iran alive, then death to Israel! Death to America! And Saudi Arabia, isn’t even worthy of a death chant, the little turd.
Let’s see if you will allow this much free speech, Mod.
Here’s some great music from Iran, turn the volume up, perhaps hatred and all that palaver will be forgotten for a mo. (btw, seriously miss the many varied links, news and views of world events here, what a loss).

It’s not that I’m so cheerful, though I’ll always raise a smile
and if at times my nonsense rhymes then I’ll stand trial
My friends are all around me but they only breathe through fear
Were I to cry, I’m sure that still they’d never see a tear
In darkness through my being here, away from you
the bright light of your star confronts me shining through
Dull and sullen, much subdued, my skull a stony glaze
Whirlpools rage on constantly, I’m not so well these days
There must be something somewhere near who sees what’s being done
The harbour lights are burning bright, my wax is almost run
In darkness through my being here, away from you
the bright light of your star confronts me, shining through
Come Lollard, raise your lute and sing, and to my ears her beauty bring
like Maddox in the days of old we’ll feast and drink until we fold
And folding still we’ll spare a thought for what’s been lost and what’s been caught
and maybe then begin again for love is life, not poison
In darkness through my being here, away from you
the bright light of your star confronts me, shining through

I must honestly wonder how a selection of commentary automatically reflects the general opinion of an entire country of 126 million. And on a (presumably) Western-owned MSM outlet to boot.
IMHO it would be just as wrong to maintain that some of the commentary in the article in question (and the upvotes they get) reflects the general opinion of the the readership of an otherwise decent news site like RIA, much less the entire population of Russia.
(Only a few commentators OTOH were wise enough to point out that the population of any country is not a single monolithic entity.)
Then again, it does leave me a little worried when it comes to ‘yellow journalism’ in Russia. Is it any better or worse in Russia’s ‘SMI’ than in the Western MSM?

The New 3 “R’s”
REPENT, RETREAT, REJOIN!
Repent: Turn back from manifesting Satan among the nations;
Retreat: Retreat strategically from creating chaos;
Rejoin: Rejoin the community of nations as a partner—-not a hegemon.
If you do not have uncle Satan chained to you this is your way out. You can do it by submitting to the most high and acting in concert.
Brother Blue Iconoclast
‘nother one for you
Repent: Turn back from manifesting Satan among the nations;
Retreat: Retreat strategically from creating chaos;
Reconcile: Ask for forgiveness and do the required acts of repentance.
Rejoin: Rejoin the community of nations as a partner—-not a hegemon.
Yeah? No?
Reconciliation
Unfortunately, there will be no reconciliation, nor any of the other R’s, when endgame is in process.
A long but fascinating read –
http://thephilosophicalsalon.com/a-self-fulfilling-prophecy-systemic-collapse-and-pandemic-simulation/
The following excerpt is a good summary of the author’s key thesis:
“The mainstream narrative should therefore be reversed: the stock market did not collapse (in March 2020) because lockdowns had to be imposed; rather, lockdowns had to be imposed because financial markets were collapsing”
Ottima sintesi. Grazie.
There are none so blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know.
The darkness is not such
as one cannot see
There is no such quiet
as one cannot hear

Thank you White Whale for your appreciation.
“The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know.”
The reason most of us ignore what we may term, the “still, small voice within”, our conscience, or any other name we may care to give it, is b/c the mind asks the question, “what can I get out of this?”
Once we go down that road, we’ve given up what we know as right or wrong, b/c at this point, we bend our viewpoint to fit our ends. This also removes us from the natural protection that life affords us, and we surrender our fate to the Lords of Karma.
Twitter is so well named.
Any twit can tweet…..
When I saw the Afghans desperate to leave….I wondered if they knew the full harsh reality of life in the USA.

‘Any twit can tweet…..” nuff said :)
I hv lots of Q on the afghan explosion too – its the same as theplane that flew so low so steady and it precisely find the twins? hello? and many more Q still unanswered 20yrs passed now! and then the savior juice born out of ‘thingee’ whom existence is still highly questionable… like seriously we dare to claim to be ‘thinking’ beings?!
look forward to your ‘revealing’ WW :)
quick note on – Shoigu is being (or promised to be) groomed as VVP successor – if I may,
our most respected VVP has mentioned ‘retirement’ one or few times in public and on TV several times, understandably china is v nervous and want to ‘star-chart’ ahead. that news popped up and I hv a quick ‘swipe’ at the ‘source’ and determine its not 100% Troll and by the principle, there is a smoke there is a fire. so my read is, somebody in higher up china political circles, are expressing their preference for our closest partner, for the purpose of solidifying the foreseeable 100yrs of friendship and common shared prosperity. btw I am on record to say both china and russia will hv the new and biggest middle class on earth! obviously, americans dont read that or at that lv. so it is truly my bad and I confess my sins here! So, pls note its not done deal but a mere possibility, a preference. If you push it, dear Shoigu does hv more TV exposure lately. I dont follow rus politic so I dont know whats hot in motherland but Shoigu, as I said, hv my ‘vote’ and backing.
the New afghan is consolidating faster than I like – v good news! women came out and protest? WoW! though some of them got beaten… sigh :( bad bad man!
okie I cant help it here – let me just propose here smth that no one that thought about – there is an explosion and there is a suicide bomber requires a great leap of faith, like 9one1 and thingee. why cant it be that like the boston and somebody left a time sensitive baggage near the gate of americans? to imagine a brown person strapped w 25pounds on stuff pass the front gate of talib is smelly to me. seriously? talib, a pro in these kind of stuff, let this pass unchecked? unless its a white person who keep yelling, ‘let me pass I am american’ and then blow up inside. the possible narratives are many beyond the given by the official. and nobody said anything about the blown up yelling “Allahu Akbar” isnt this the media-spun hardcore sold narrative? not this time?! why? thinking being, we pride ourselves, arent we?!
again as w all 3 unsolved mystery above, I only said, ‘open question no answers!’
… but ‘thinking’, high quality reductionist, ontology, epistemology, I urge we quickly master it!
… if we dont want to get ‘schawbed’ again!
thanks WW I hv enjoyed your post here :)

Question for you.
I am not authorized to post on the ‘Orthodox’ thread so I am posting my question here.
Saker:
Is there a good ‘correct’ version of the Bible available in English?
Thank you.
I discuss this here: /orthodox-faith-yvonne-lorenzo-interviews-the-saker/
and /off-topic-but-apparently-needed-judaism-and-christianity-back-to-basics/
Kind regards
The Saker
Thank you!
