Saker Message:
I would be interested in hearing the opinions of the Saker Community.
What are the implications of the German election results for:
a) The EU
b) Relations with Russia
c) Relations with China
d) Trans-Atlanticism.
Mike form Jersey
There will be no short or medium changes as a result of the German elections.
The public “politicians” are not running the affairs of the EU.

Luka
Luka,
Thanks for the response. That makes sense. I get the impression that the Davos crowd is running the EU.
Hi Mike
Over at the moonofalabama site there’s a thread + 100+ comments.
White Whale,
Thanks for that information. I’ll check out those posts.
I’m aware that this might be somewhat disappointing, Mike, but imho – not much.
First of all, keep bearing in mind that Germany is an occupied nation.
Secondly, it keeps to be amusing that still people tend to think that politicians are actually gonna do what they promised. They won’t. Really, they won’t.
Third, even the former government building took an immensely time and even Bundespräsident Steimeier had to step in at a certain moment. Don’t expect improvement here.
Fourth, and most important: forget politics, it’s all about ‘power’ and ‘egos’. Let’s have a closer look, because I have the idea that even inside Germany certain things are not clear enough:
-Annalena Baerbock of the Greens. Yes, it’s ‘ae’ and not ‘ä’. Forget the green ideals, in reality she is a bankers darling, had years of training from the CFR and hangs on the strings on the WEF in Davos. Did anybody notice that she is so vehemently anti-Russia? Too bad that e.g. the German industry has quite another opinion on this. After years of preparation, she blew it in a few months and it is widely known that she is a fraud. Interesting how this will end, there are rumours that the greens already want to ditch her.
-Armin Laschet (CDU) and Markus Schröder (CSU) of the Union. Here we are confronted with a fine German tradition: we want a leader who has both a strong appearance and competence. Unfortunately Laschet only has the competence, and Schröder only the appearance. I guess this will be the end of both of them.
-That leaves us with Olaf Scholz (SPD). His party is for pensioners, and he looks like a low grade bank clerk, to paraphrase Nigel Farage. Since he is a minister he might air some confidence. But, be very careful.
Scholz has quite some history, and has even more quite some corpses in his closets. Nearly all are from fishy financial stuff, most of them when he still was the mayor of Hamburg. Somehow every time he miraculously escaped too much dirt. But the smell, people, the smell.
In other words: he is corrupt and bribeable. Americans are gonna love him.
So, not much will change and life will become more expensive. As always.
Btw, I saw her name passing by a few times here and on MoA, but really Sahra Wagenknecht has retired a few years ago as faction leader of Die Linke. Thereby this party has as good as disappeared.
If you want remarkable and flaming speeching in the Bundestag, then pay attention to Alice Weidel of the AfD. Her farewell speech to Merkel (Merkels legacy went through the shredder) really caused uproar – dignified Bundestag members were shouting through her speech, something normally unheard of in the most boring parliament in the world.
Cheers, Rob
Rob,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on those issues.
Art, creativity, poetry etc. is a crucible from which the artist, creator, poet emerges with a clearer picture of who and what he is. I should qualify that by saying, if he emerges at all. Many don’t. The reason being that to create is to enter into a direct experience with Divine Spirit, and not all are able to handle that that easily, and turn to various crutches to alleviate the intensity of the experience. So how does one survive?
Shakespeare wrote that there is no legacy as great as honesty. If we’re willing to accept what we confront and move on, then we needn’t spend endless hours questioning whether we are “right or wrong” in our conclusions, assumptions, assertions etc. instead we come to understand that our creations are a part of us, and spring from our experiences of being an infinite being in a finite world/reality. For me, the key to survival is detchment. Whereas my expressions contain my various experiences, they can never fully contain who and what I am. I believe writing poetry and creating art, or examplle, exposes one’s deepest longings, but that is a common human experience and the purpose in creating, is to share those experineces which we all have. So the key to survival is to keep on moving. After I complete a poem, my attention switches to the next one, and so I close the door of vulnerability, so to speak. As much at least, as I am capable of doing so.
Come To Me, Love
Come to me, love,
I’ve hungered for you.
All through the night
And the morning too.
Through the afternoon haze
And the call to prayer,
My heart it is broken,
My soul laid bare.
Down in the compound,
The mission bells ring.
The angels they gather
As the choir it sings
Remember Beloved,
Thy guiding light;
My eyes have been wounded,
I’ve no longer sight.
Come to me, love,
Wherever you roam,
Come gather me up
And carry me home;
My knees have been hobbled,
My tears have been spent –
I understand now
All that you meant!
All through the town
They’re weaving a thread;
“Some faerie or demon
Ran off with his head!”
Yet others are saying
He turned and he fled –
“He got cold feet
On his way to be wed.”
Come to me, love,
I’ve hungered for you,
All through the night
And the daytime too.
Remember Beloved,
Thy loving care…
My heat has been broken,
And my soul laid bare.
The artists way may be the only way forward with dignity
art is the lens
through which man views his own soul,
and so adjusts his
relationship to the world
“Per me, la chiave per la sopravvivenza è il distacco. ”
Quello che nella filosofia Taoista viene definito ” Vuoto del Cuore”.
Google translation,MOD:
“For me, the key to survival is detachment. ”
What in the Taoist philosophy is called “Empty of the Heart”.
he who tries to save
his life shall lose it, but he
who gives me all he owns,
shall have all life
Dimitar, that reminds me of this:

Hi Siljan,
I loved your musical links in the last cafe. The line ” somehow I’ll find my way home ” has always resonated with me – I’ve kept it with me as a kind of mantra for troubled times. I must say though, I do prefer the Jon and Vangelis version.
I’ve never heard of Bonamassa before. I think the performance was lifted by the girl with the two stringed instrument – it had a sound almost like a wind instrument / flute even – I could imagine ancient peoples hearing that same sound. I’m guessing it is an ancient instrument, Chinese or maybe Mongolian. That and the piano part – which was so simple – made an already good performance just magical. Thanks :-)
Hello SandinED,
I’m glad you liked the music. Yes Jon Anderson and Vangelis would know how to present that song since they wrote the words. Words about grace and hope, unity and love. We need more poets like that. Thank God we got some right here in this café.
Joe Bonamassa is more known for his ‘plugged-in’ heavier blues/rock style numbers. I like his un-pugged material. Even though he is a seasoned musician, singer, song writer and composer, he has never, as far as I know, had a radio hit song. I think that is why many people have never heard of him.
It’s evident that he likes putting together different instruments and sounds. From a concert at the Vienna Opera House, here is another example. At the far right is a guy playing ’nyckelharpa’, an old Swedish instrument. On the rest of the Album you will find Irish fiddle, banjo, accordion, old beer hall style piano, glockenspiel as well as various different percussion instruments. A great ensemble imho.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRpQetYqM-I
Nice to see you posting. Keep shining the light
Dimitar, I must reply to you. I’ve just been thinking over recent days that I must try to practice / find some detachment. In the UK we’ve just been told we’re to have fluoride in the drinking water – hurrah – who wouldn’t want a bit of neurotoxin in their water ?! I was feeling a bit down over it – and all the other arbitrary edicts we’re subject to. ( Wasn’t fluoride used in the camps during the second world war, to induce passivity ? )
No sooner had I thought about detachment than you wrote about it. It’s not the first time :-)
I was also amused when I had thought to write that my ‘ poems ‘ were more grumpy ranting with a bit of rhyming than poetry, while yours were a horse of a different colour. Then you wrote a poem about white horses. Perhaps I’m just seeing what I want to see.
I had an experience as a young child when I couldn’t tell where I ended and the rest of the world began. The phrase came to me, ” there is no separation “. I’ve had many experiences over the years that seem to suggest it’s true. I do believe, that on some level, there is no separation.
In an ocean of light no separation
The living light links all creation
The outer eye sees you and me
Inner eye sees only we
Ascend within, we raise our gaze
All is One in light of heavens rays
Thanks Anomalous,
your posts are always so simple, so articulate and just right in the thread.
Dear sand, detachment doesn’t mean indifference by any means. It means not allowing outer circumstances to throw us off balance inwardly. The control we aim to exert is detachment from fear, it’s even said if we can surrender our fears we need give up nothing else in life. So it’s a kind of becoming independent of everything in our lives, so that we’re able to maintain our inner balance. We still experience the joys, sorrows and everything else life has to offer, we can still even identify with all these things but we do not want our inner self to be tied up into knots and not be able to function. It’s not always easy, not by any means, but we need to survive spiritually first and foremost if we’re going to be of use to life, ourselves and family etc. For example, I spent maybe five days working on an artwork last week, and after putting in many hours, and everything I had energy wise I had to accept that I’d destroyed it, and let it go. There was a time that would have been devastating, but hey, that’s life. There are always lessons we gain from every experience, they just don’t always end up coming out the way we would like. We need to accept that some ‘white horses’, ( ideas ), simply won’t be corralled, no matter how much we’d like to ‘catch them and make them our own’.
“The devout seeker is he who mingles within heart the double currents of love and detachment, like the mingling of the streams of Ganges and Jamuna; In his heart the sacred water flows day and night; and thus the round of births and deaths is brought to an end”
Songs of Kabir
Perhaps a word is necessary on why we need this detachment. One reason is that it’s easy to get swallowed up by life. Responsibilities, duties and everything else that pertains to life in this world do not leave us much time and energy to go deep with whatever it is we love. So for me, detachment means to live life on my terms and to create the effects I want in life rather than be the effect of external events, situations, responsibilities and duties.
One must make a certain amount of time for one’s self, in order to probe the mystery of existence, and the only way to do that is to fasten the attention on something that interests us in a profound way.
“I had an experience as a young child when I couldn’t tell where I ended and the rest of the world began…”
Often we don’t understand an experience of this nature, but importantly, the purpose of an experience is so that we reach certain conclusions. If you came away from the experience, ie; even as a child you understood that there is no separation, ie; you’re not alone in life, then the experience is a special one.
Thanks Dimitar – I just saw your reply.
Yes it was an intense experience – and I remember it very well, though I was very young. Looking back, I have always thought it was a strange phrase for a child to come up with. But, I do believe children are often capable of making insightful statements – where does it come from ? Is it just that they are less encumbered with worries of past / future – they haven’t been conditioned / programmed too much yet and they can just be. ‘ Out of the mouths of babes…’
Had I known my lover would turn me away
I would have ripped and burned my veil away
The burden of shame did come in the way
Else I would have brought my lover to sway
My union my destiny is only with you
I direct my words and songs only to you
I decorate myself with ornaments only for you
All my hopes and desires reside only with you
My lover is still not on the homeward way
For whom I would have thrown my ego and body away
O friend, I should not have traversed loves way
O friend, I sorrow in the wedlock now
Had I not been ashamed of the world as now
I would have sent messengers to bring him to me now
Sent all my companions to bring him home now
– Amīr Khusrau (1253-1325)

Thank you kindly, Sudhi, you have a knack for finding the perfect reply that fits the mood of my poems. Also to Anomalous, whose always on board with his wonderful even handed lines to remind us of the middle way. Thanks to both of you in Spirit, D.
The poem by Amīr Khusrau is written as if by a woman, and I’m wondering if it was part of a series of epic verses, and thus he wrote from two different perspectives, including female and male?
“My body and mind are gieved for the want if There; O my Beloved! Come to my house.
When people say I am thy bride , I am ashamed; for I have not touched Thy heart with my heart.”
Kabir
Spiritual poetry is sometimes written this way. Kabir and Khusrau were both Sufi. Another such analogy is the parable of the virgins with the oil in New Testament.
“for want of Thee”
I have to figure out how to disable this autocorrect
for want of thee,
I wrote with care,
but now I see
for want if there
for want, if there
instead of thee,
is wear and tear
for you and me
Want, if there, will ruin your day
Detachment blows your cares away
how do you read ‘The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran’?
after these many decades and reading various analysis, I (believe I) still didnt quite ‘get it’.
do share if any of you hv some time :)

p/s for you dear :) Castles In The Air by Don McLean. Recorded at the The Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas in 1999. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXsMrohi_KQ
The appearance
of things changes
according to the
emotions; and thus
we see magic and
beauty in them,
while the magic
and beauty are
really in ourselves.
– Kahlil Gibran
love Don McLean’s – “Castles In The Air”
I’m tired of castles in the air
I’ve got a dream
I want the world to share
And castle walls
just lead me to despair
Hills of forest green
where the mountains
touch the sky
A dream come true,
I’ll live there ’til I die

Saker’s cafe has become in part a spiritual oasis for purifying and uplifting the mind in difficult times, an inspiration for every one, ancient wisdom and sublime thoughts, those of today, and that blend together. Warmth and the light of the mind, the right mindfulness, and it is evolving also I see.
A friend posted a good breakdown of Russia’s recent election:
The Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s policy continues to find huge support in the country, which maximizes the mostly miscalculation of the West, leading with the United States.
The results of the parliamentary elections indicate that there are no significant contradictions in Russian society and that the country’s trust is high enough, unfortunately for Western countries. The announced protests did not happen, which the minority money announced against Russia!
′′ Washington, Brussels, and their vassals around the world tried to put pressure on the people of Russia, promising in advance not to recognize the results of the vote and threatening new sanctions “. The West sought to influence the electorate, creating an ′′ international atmosphere of distrust ′′ against the Russian nation. The same criminal procedure was implemented by many individualists who unveiled their true colors.. However, as it has happened repeatedly, with no accurate information about the real political situation in the Russian Federation and the Russian moods – the western opponents of Moscow counted against a mole! “.
The One Russia Party, which has been the leading political force in the Russian Federation for many years, has actually gained slightly less votes (49,82 %) than in the last parliamentary elections in 2016 (54,2 %). This is due to negative economic impacts the pandemic and unpopular restrictive measures, which the Russian government (as well as other countries governments) forced to take. At the same time, the trust in the head of state of Vladimir Putin remains high, and this fact was not considered by the western opponents of the Russian Federation.
I think the Russian citizens are happy with the efforts of the president and the government, which have been able to significantly improve people’s standard of living over the last 10 years. That’s why they don’t want to destroy the existing political system. For many years the level of support for Vladimir Putin among the population exceeds 60 %. I think the popularity of the Russian leader is based on his ability to maintain stability. People simply trust their president, who restored and effectively maintains Russia’s status as superpower.
I believe that it was also possible to select leaders who are at the forefront of the general federal list of ′′ One Russia “. Among them are Russian Defense Minister Sergey Szojgu, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Denis Protsenko, chief physician of Kommunarka Hospital. Everyone is respected in the country because they have shown themselves in practice high professionalism – everyone in their own field.
Analyzing the results of the elections for the State Duma of the Russian Federation with One Russia, representatives of the ′′ traditional ′′ opposition – the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the Liberal Democratic Party and ′′ Honest Russia “, as well as new forces – New People won seats in parliament.
Alexey Navalny does not enjoy the real support of the population, and his influence was clearly overrated by the enemies of Moscow. Even if this pest could take part in the election, it wouldn’t be successful, I’m sure.
Navalny’s supporters, however, tried to influence the results of the parliamentary elections using a project banned extremist organization in the Russian Federation – the ′′ Intelligent Vote ′′ app, which was developed with the US Special Service. This was another attempt to interfere with the West’s internal affairs of another country.
Referring to the vote in Russia, attention should be given to the high level of election campaign organization – this is not up for discussion.
Now that emotions are down, the enemies of Russia who participated in the disinformation campaign and sowed ferment among the public needs to be analyzed and accounted for. Many of these provocateurs didn’t even hide with their pathological views as a result of which, they unmasked themselves and stopped being anonymous in their views.

Seems like the nobody Navalny and friends is even more likely to be neutralised along with his extremist organisation
https://tass.com/society/1343325
Being criminally investigated ..confirmed. interesting moment to do it …after elections have proven his irrelevance….rather than stirring up western humanitarian concerns before the elections .
I did notice though that there seems to be some members of the communist party kinda jumping on the N style bandwagon ….claiming election irregularities . Has it been infiltrated by Navalnyites looking to move on???? Hmm.
The second is the Communist party, which is even less likely than Russia united to bend towards liberal western policies, but rather be a force for stubborn resistance to them!
As well as pushing towards a quick Belarus/Russia Union State.
So far about 75% of Russia opinion appears to be anti-Western.
I have a post which, explains why nothing is random in life, and I would not have known this unless I initially wrote up an hour long post in type (really long- ) on i-pad and once again before I could hit the bar to send it- it went “poof’ disappeared (my screen went blank)- the curtains closed – shows over- fat lady sang.
I decided the show a’nt over– I am gett’n my lap top- I am liv’n thr” dangerous time- I’m still typing.
So I waited all weekend eminent scholar S. Hosein to post on “Quran and West” only to find out, via 2nd comment, in comment section of poster,,, tah it an’t happng.. due to others “double-crossing” it up. Other so-called religious scholars with political clout decided we do not get to benefit from knowledge… well I guess those same people who “decided” for us- go on using “paper money.” for their benefit ( lets see where that gets them …give them time… they will fix the system…with their…. silence… crickets cherps…frog…silence…repeat.
Back to my point : nothing in life is random:
I began to realize I would never be here, quite literally (and symbolically) typing this (mod pending) with the post, If I had not seen video- which by today’s standards seems like eons ago, with the Saker and Hosein on it.
You see, the only way I knew this website existed, or trusted to look at it was due to a video Sheikh did referring his viewers to this website (back in the day- so to speak.)
So I checked it, and, it turns out, not only was it good…it was hands down the best “news source” (in terms of critical thinking) on earth (I guess- cuz I am not able to speak Russian- so I can not check out theirs- or any other foreign one for that matter- so I can’t check out theirs either.)- It is ONE of the best…I can say that.
So I began to realize the chance meeting of mine, video with Sheikh Hosein on it recommending Saker, was not by chance (which until now I always assumed it was) it was planned ahead of time, by a Creator- which the show being canceled (the fat lady singing), led me to post this- which led me to realize the entire point of this post was the wider relationships we have in life are sometimes not visible in front of our face- unless something bad happens (hence his lecture being canceled) which led me to realize the greater good that the Saker and Co managed to accomplish all these years along with their contributors =
“the world got better” (God willing).
Thank you Saker and Co., contributors, posters, and family, and Sheikh Hosein- you have made the world, and our lives, (my life) meaningful.
May God shine his grace on you all (now and forever after.) -this matters most,.
While I want to agree that Nature and Life are not “random”, alas (!). Observation and understanding do not entirely support this attractive idea.
” Radioactive decay is the random process in which a nucleus loses energy by emitting radiation. This is usually in the form of alpha particles (Helium nuclei), beta particles (electrons or positrons), or gamma rays (high energy photons).” Nobody can predict the emission on an electron from a lump a radium, or when one will leak through a reversed biased diode. This is wonderful, I admit. It’s also fundamental to cryptography.
Randomness is essential to life. It’s part of God’s little joke. Even the books of Moses state that Thou mayest triumph (over evil) (Timshel, it says in Hebrew). And of course also that our Father Abraham argued with God, thus the big fella had not decided yet.
Pax, Friend.
Radioactive decay is a random process…but certain n’est ce pas?
Only “certain” in an proximate sense, which is to say “not certain”. That’s to say that statistical models may, with some inaccuracy, predict the large-scale decay in, for example, a 1000 Kg of fuel in a reactor, or in C14 decay in a dog’s tooth. However radioactive decay on the level of, say, a Geiger counter’s “click” or in a Wilson cloud chamber (cosmic ray tracks appear at random) is absolutely not predictable and is 100% random.
The matter is also, as I said, essential to cryptography. The OTP is unbreakable, for example. It is the only secure method of secret communication.
There’s nothing further to say, save, perhaps, the suggestion that readers might consider doing some serious study in physics and in cryptology and mathematics. The matter does not allow opinion as a relevant feature. It’s Reality. No one can change this by wish or belief or ideology, or in any other way.

We were unsure about this.
“MOSCOW, September 29./TASS/. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, who headed the federal part of United Russia’s list, have submitted applications to the Central Election Commission to give up their deputy mandates in the 8th State Duma, says a draft resolution of the Central Election Commission expected to be passed at a session on Wednesday.”

Some may recall the August visit to Vietnam by that good lady Mz Harris, where she every so adroitly managed to visit the memorial to the AD shoot-down of that also good man John “Songbird” McCain (by Soviet SAM AD system), and announce that “the US is Back!”. Some might think that the good lady “blew it”, and some say she does this quite well.
Following this Celestially inspired diplomacy, the non-delusional and very well educated Vietnamese State, a Civilizational State, made certain responses. Made these to China and to Russia. The response to the Reich is obvious. and in their language might approximate “làm phiền”.
Comrade Brother Mercouris discussed this in video presentation. Title> “Vietnam Repairs Damage After Kamala Harris’s Visit. Reaffirms Friendship with Russia, Distances from US”
The title may be misunderstood. Rather that “repair damage”, a Strategic Alliance was born.
Well worth the Time to listen to Mercouris. Mercouris, of course, publishes at “the Duran”
Naturally, one may be hard-pressed to grasp the subtle and thrilling wisdom behind the Celestial intellects crafting the foreign machinations of the Reich.
Some may recall the Soviet Union were guests at DaNang and Camran Bay, and reasonably expect Russian nuclear submarines and strategic aircraft to resume guest status momentarily.
Sometimes I have to ask myself,no not sometimes,a lot of times I have to ask myself,just how many “other cheeks” does Russia have left to turn. The US may start using Russian bases in Central Asia against the Taliban,just what on earth “could go wrong with that idea “. Having US spies,maybe some of them CIA roaming around an among Russian soldiers and others on the bases.Being able to check out up close Russian equipment. Maybe try to turn some Russians to spy for them.Just what is the years salary of a Russian grunt. Offering some big bucks can turn a lot of people,as the US certainly knows.As I recall it was exactly that type of close relations,officer to officer,and using Russian bases,by the Germans.That aided them to plan Barbarossa,and got several thousand Soviet officers and servicemen executed by Stalin in the late 1930’s. One would think the modern era Russian military would have learned from that mistake,but I see one would be wrong there:
https://www.rt.com/russia/536138-us-senator-biden-pentagon/
https://bulgarianmilitary.com/amp/2021/09/28/u-s-wants-to-use-russian-bases-to-attack-the-taliban/
Sounds like a double naught spy ring, probably wind up like one too.
Regarding the closure of two German-language RT channels on YouTube, I’m not sure how blocking Deutsche Welle, ARD, ZDF, and the like as retaliation would solve the issue. Whatever falsehoods those media outlets may say about Russia that may deserve a blockage, I’m not sure I see the connection in this particular situation (Deutsche Welle even denied accountability). Last time I checked, YouTube is owned by Google, itself an American company, and if I’m not mistaken its users are forced to comply to American laws and standards. Shouldn’t those reacting to this, claiming that Germany is “declaring war” on Russia, etc. redirect their ire to the USA, or at least Google/Alphabet, first and foremost?

are one such example I’m thinking of where YouTube’s actions are seen as “a declaration of war” against Russia by Germany. I’m assuming in good faith that Mrs. Simonyan is aware of who owns YouTube.
