Welcome to the ‘Moveable Feast Cafe’. The ‘Moveable Feast’ is an open thread where readers can post wide ranging observations, articles, rants, off topic and have animate discussions of the issues of the day.
The ‘Moveable Feast Cafe’ will have two new open threads each week.
The Saker stated moderation policy will apply eg ‘no caps’, no obscenity … etc to all post.
The Cafe is now open for business … come on in and have a good time.

“…As if it were not enough that Vladimir Putin’s Russia makes a monkey out of the US “anti-ISIS” campaign in Syria by accomplishing more in six months to damage the terrorist advance in that country than the Pentagon managed, with its suspiciously ineffective campaign in fourteen months. Now Russia delivers a huge slap in the face to US agribusiness domination of global food trade by deciding to make Russia the world’s largest exporter of healthy, non-GMO, non-industrial food….”
“…Russia also has an extraordinary natural advantage to become today the world’s most important producer and also exporter of high-quality organic and non-GMO food.
Russia today has some of the richest most fertile agriculture soil in the world. Because during the Cold War economic restraints dictated that products of the chemical industry were dedicated to national defense needs, the fertile Russian soil has not been subjected to decades of destruction from chemical fertilizers or crop spraying as the soils in much of the west. Now this becomes a blessing in disguise, as EU and North American farmers struggle with the destructive effects of chemicals in their soils that have largely destroyed essential micro-organisms. Rich agriculture soils take years to create and can be destroyed in no time. Where the climate is moist and warm, it takes thousands of years to form just a few centimeters of soil. Cold dry climates need far longer….”

Thanks so much for this heartening news. Now if the clean food idea can transfer to clean banking we’ll really be getting somewhere.
I plan to talk to the city council in about three hours along these lines. This report comes just in time.
Last Saturday we had Earth Day in this valley of about 30,000. About 500 attended. That’s something but when a whole country like Russia gets on the green band wagon it can be a clean, green, mean machine as far as the empire is concerned.
My diet has gone from meat and sugar three times a day to vegetarian to vegan to raw vegan to fruitarian. I’m no model for the mainstream obviously but even a glance up that road is of value.
I’m also reassured about Putin and Russia. I followed a link given here to a site called No BS Russia which is by someone who claims to be neutral but was saying some very problematic and provocative things about Putin and Russia. Really who can you believe if you’re not there yourself? If something is this good on food it can’t be all bad.
was an article coupla days ago, khordovsky and ‘friends’ still planning their revolution…………..loads on these people recently fortruss etc etc
Seems as though the observation that: “If voting actually made a real difference it would be illegal”, may be quite rational. However, millions of human beings in scores of countries do vote and expect real concrete (and somewhat democratic) results. The will of the hoi polloi.(?) That being said, in the U$A there appear to be only two people (not corporate “people”) who are not being bought by big bucks – Sanders and Trump. The so-called establishment candidates – Jeb! & Hillary – were/are happily taking the big-bucks. Of course Jeb! is long gone, so it will be (likely) Trump vs Sanders/or/Hillary. The corporate propaganda media has done a masterful job of keeping most of the establishment candidate’s very grievous missteps hidden. The DINO GoldwaterGirl is clearly an almost sociopathic war-hawk. IMHO she is the worst of the 3 selections we are asked to choose in the elections. So………………….,
If Hillary wins the US presidency, then the warmongers will have plenty of time to mount a provocation /possible war with Russia. But what would happen if she doesn’t win?
What if her campaign gets into serious trouble? Hillary already has increased unfavourable ratings and the FBI investigation may blow up in her face. They’re trying to stop Trump, but it’s not really working.
I’m worried if Hillary risks getting eliminated, we could see the warmongers in Obama’s administration trying to foment an incident while Obama is still in office, which means something, some political/military incident, could happen before Nov 2016.
It seems to me that the rhetoric is getting nastier, there are more provocations, NATO is moving troops to Eastern Europe, and now Syria is receiving troops..It doesn’t look good. Maybe I’m just being pessimistic, I hope it’s just that, and a Saker reader will debunk this.
Serbian Girl,
There have been indications that neocon elements within the US want a war with Russia. However, there are no indications that the Obama administration actually wants to fight this war. The operational capabilities of the US military are not unlimited. It will be up to European NATO to do this (or not) with the US in no more than a supporting role.
So how much power does this puppet presidency have over the state department and the war department?
If O was neither useful or compliant he’d be Kenedy’d.
You’ve missed my point a bit but raise another which is also quite interesting. That is, how much freedom of action does Obama or Putin, etc. actually have. There is a tendency to fall into the mindset of complete independence or complete control (everything is “Kabuki theater”). From what I can see, the reality is somewhere between these positions. If Obama is a complete puppet of the neocons, why has he essentially done nothing in Ukraine, little in Syria and worst of all, interrupted the progress to war with Iran. If he is acting as a puppet in these examples I would be interested to know who the puppeteer is.
Also, since you mention Kennedy, there have been some interesting signs of veiled threats against Obama in the past. None of these were overt and all had plausible deniability. In 2012, Andrew Adler suggested that the Israeli government should consider assassinating Obama over his Iran policy. A couple of months later, there was a peculiar intrusion incident at the whitehouse. Finally, in 2014, there was the strange “grassy knoll” reference in a translated speech of Netanyahu.
In any case, if Obama is a complete puppet it follows that whomever replaces him will be a complete puppet as well. So there is nothing to hope for from a Sanders or Trump presidency and nothing to fear from a Hillary presidency.

I think that Obama is trying hard -especially now – not to enter in any dangerous equation,at least as long as he is in office.So,in this way,maybe you are right,he is not completely a puppet.But why not then ? maybe the puppeteers have decided to let him this way.
ioan,
I am not an expert on the US presidency or on President Obama. I can only speculate based on what he has done or not done in office. Some points, such as Obama’s refusal to comply with Netanyahu’s demands for war with Iran have left me somewhat shocked. Dick Cheney and, presumably, Rothschild, apparently had a similar reaction.
Presidents that do pursue a sufficiently militarily aggressive policy are attacked in several ways, most often in the press, which can hurt the chances of the president for reelection. Obama is a lame duck so this is not a factor. Jimmy Carter was particularly vilified for being too soft on the Soviet Union. Ironically, such a president is referred to as “weak” although it seems to me that resisting the demands for war actually requires considerable strength.
From what I have heard regarding Obama, my impression is that he is not particularly engaged in foreign policy, especially not with Europe or the mideast. He is also not concerned about ISIS. I’ve seen it reported that he regrets the Libya operation and that may have hardened him against the neocons.
As to why Obama has not been forced to comply with the puppetmasters, this is unclear. Perhaps conflicted interests among the oligarchy. I did mention previous apparent personal threats made against Obama, however, these have not led to anything substantial either in the form of personal attacks against Obama or major false flag incidents. Time will tell, I guess.
It’s an interesting question. My take is that there are two sources that can create some presidential autonomy. One is that quite simply, the office of president is very powerful and “power behind the scenes” is never complete as compared to the basic overt kind. It is always possible for a president to tell the armed forces to do X, or tell the Justice department to investigate Y, or tell the Treasury to do Z, and so on–they might face serious flak and repercussions so they rarely actually do any such things if powerful interests would balk, but they can do them.
Most of the time, the more relevant one is that there is more than one US elite group. Oh, there’s quite a bit of overlap, big military contractors have financial muscle, financial institutions have fingers in many different pies and so on. But still, there is some distinction between them, and more importantly some distinction between their interests. There will be times when the military-oriented groups, who more or less want muscular US foreign policy for its own sake (whether to promote their careerism, sell their military toys or whatever), will have differences with the financially-oriented groups, who want muscular US foreign policy mostly to pry open markets and coerce countries into near-giveaways of their assets. The latter will have situations when peace is better for business.
Also, the world being a complicated place, even elite groups with basically the same interests may differ in their assessment of how best to pursue them, what the outcomes of given courses of action are likely to be and so on; these differences will be increased by differences in group mindset–there’s a lot of groupthink in elite Washington circles and it’s not all quite the same groupthink.
So any president is going to have wiggle room and will even be forced to make some decisions as to which among competing interests and assessments he will accommodate. The only near-constant is that the average wage earner or schmoe out of a job is not among those interests. In the case of Obama, I’ve tended to get the impression that he is more reliably slavish to the financiers than to the militarists, so where their interests diverge he will tend to back the former. Clinton, while certainly firmly in Goldman Sachs et al’s pocket, seems to have a very strong attachment to the military establishment’s worldview (well, to the militarists’ worldview–the actual military top brass, Joint Chiefs and whatnot, sometimes allow realistic assessments of readiness, modelled outcomes and so on to blunt their enthusiasm for a fight) and so might tend to let their positions rule more often.
True, T1, “he’d be Kennedy’d IF, IF, IF “they” could get away with doing that.
But he’s not Kennedy (he’s not even one millionth of JFK) and although he has to watch his step, because the whole system of global control is based on Ego and Fear, most assuredly in their own ranks, Obomber is relatively safe. Because though the elites are factionalized amongst themselves, while united against humanity, his puppet masters, the Windsors, Rothschilds etc are a very big faction that more than holds its own.
And if they instruct him to, he’ll try to push the button, if lesser threshold tactics do not wear down and defeat Russia and the emerging multi-polar world order. Nevertheless, despairing is absurd, as long as it is possible to raise enough consciousness to stop his finger from doing that.
The “Great Work” is the daunting task (to most) or the inspiring task (to some) of creating the conditions of aggregate consciousness where “they” who rely on fear to exert mind control over billions of people can no longer command humanity to destroy itself.
Impossible task? I don’t think so. In fact 911, viewed properly should give the weary a lot of hope. Why? Because flight 93 was meant for WTC 7 and somehow, someway, the consciousness of one jet fighter pilot stopped 93 over Pennsylvania. And the 911 ritual sacrifice and immolation of the Goddess of True Care was thus a partial FAILURE.
Why? Daft as people are, 2 planes in Manhattan bringing down 3 steel skyscrapers does NOT compute, even for many , many people under considerable mind control. So, what was meant to shake everyone up and lock down fear based mind control over them permanently, actually failed and at least on 911 (a vitally important factor,as is JFK official story rejection, very, very slowly, but steadily over the decades) a majority of Americans smell a rat. Are they still mostly under mind control?? Absolutely. But steadily,”the waking up is outstripping the shaking up”.
So, take what the Universe gives you, and give back. If a fraction of 1% of the population knew as much as many here know, it would be “game over” for the dark occultists of the NWO who run murderous clowns like Obama, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Kagan, Nuland, etc.
I’m not going to explain myself right here, right now, but I will soon.
First I have to answer Straight Bat and get out of here to make it to an appointment.
I’ve said several times before that if Hillary Clinton becomes President of the US,war is almost certain. And it looks like its almost certain she will be.If there was a fair vote in the US she would lose. But that isn’t going to happen. Almost all the elite are supporting her. Money is flowing into advertising for her. And the Democratic Party section of the elite are rigging the party vote to assure her of the nomination of that party. While the Republican Party elite are demonizing Trump worse than Putin (I know that’s a hard job,but they are trying). And if Trump does manage to get the nomination of that party. Many/most of them will support Clinton. That’s how much they hate the idea of Trump being President. The only hope as I see it lays with the Sanders voters. Many of them are the young. And are not fully committed to the Democratic Party.But if Sanders “loyally” supports Hillary if she is nominated. Then she is certain to win. If Sanders was to run as an Independent candidate. Or if his voters are so mad at the vote rigging we are seeing for Hillary,they might be able to stop her. But I don’t see that happening. I think it will take a miracle to see her not be the next President here. And when she is,we are in for a worse period of “exceptionalism” than we’ve yet seen.
Besides,the out and out vote rigging going on for her.Here is a small sample of her lessor tactics to steal the nomination as reported on RT today: https://www.rt.com/usa/341029-bernie-sanders-facebook-groups-porn/
And here is a article about if she becomes President from RT: https://www.rt.com/op-edge/340828-president-hillary-russia-american-relations/
This upcoming US election seems to be a turning point of history. Nuke war, or crash of the western system. They seem to be the only two options.
“This upcoming US election seems to be a turning point of history. “
Recall Rostislav Ischenko’s Pax Americana article of six months ago on the decisions faced by the American elite between the soft landing being offered them, or try to continue their drive to full spectrum dominance.
He closed it with “The point of no return will pass once and for all sometime in 2016, and America’s elite will no longer be able to choose between the provisions of compromise and collapse.”
It strikes me that America’s the decision making process that will answer Ischenko’s dilemma is this inimitably noisy American-style “election”. We’ll see.

@ Uncle Bob:
“Many/most of them will support Clinton. That’s how much they hate the idea of Trump being President. The only hope as I see it lays with the Sanders voters. Many of them are the young. And are not fully committed to the Democratic Party. But if Sanders “loyally” supports Hillary if she is nominated.”
For what it’s worth, I thought I mention a ‘twit’ from Trump himself:
“Bernie Sanders has been treated terribly by the Democrats – both with delegates & otherwise. He should show them and run as an Independent!”
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/04/27/05/33931C6500000578-3560520-image-a-1_1461732212456.jpg
–
Of course there’s a good chance he’s saying that on account of his on self-interests (running along the same lines of the theory that if Trump runs as an Independent, it would split the Republican vote, handing Hitlery the presidency, so maybe if Sanders runs as an Independent it could split the Democrat vote and hand over to presidency to Trump). Perhaps he’s just only hedging his bets here, but call me an optimist (I’m not, btw), this may be the first time I see some kind of a solidarity gesture from one party candidate to another.
Call me crazy (and I’ve suggested this before) but as things are going down right now, best thing both: Trump and Sanders could do is to join forces and run on an Independent shared ticket. Hell! If Cruz and Kasich can join forces in order to and I quote: “to stop Donald Trump”
http://edition.cnn.com/videos/politics/2016/04/25/ted-cruz-john-kasich-team-up-against-trump-dnt-newday-mattingly.cnn/video/playlists/race-to-2016/
Why can’t Trump and Sanders join forces in order to stop Hitlery?
-TL2Q
It would “actually” be an interesting idea,them running together. But I don’t see its possible. The ironic thing is that they do have some things in common. They both are “anti-establishment” in their parties. And though from opposite sides, they are both “populists”. But while both being populists would seem to unite them. They come to that from totally different angles. Trump from right-wing populism and Sanders from left-wing populism. I think that divide is too much for them to bridge-over together. They also seem to (from their statements) hearken back to the early post-WW2 era in US politics. Before the globalists in both their parties, took over those parties and perverted them. The Republicans in those days were more “isolationist”, and not wanting the US to get involved outside the American continents. The Democrats at that time, while more inline with foreign involvements, came from a FDR type of involvement in foreign relations. Not the later Truman,Kennedy,Carter, Clinton, and now Obama,type of involvement. Which was/is connected to neo-con thinking.The messianic “exceptionalism” we hear them talk about. I believe that is why the party elites are trying so hard to destroy them both. They both reject decades of US foreign involvement ideology.And if either of them won the Presidency (and or control of their parties) it could change the US governments thinking on foreign entanglements.Which is why the globalist neo-cons in the Republican party are already talking of switching to support Hillary Clinton if Trump is the Republican nominee. And why the Democratic party bosses are working with desperation to rig the primaries so Sanders can’t win the nomination.
Trump accused Bernie Sanders of being a “Commie'” (people protested Trump’s anti Muslim and xenophobic sentiments, and Trump accused Sanders of being behind the protests). Sanders has not said it, but Trump is generally regarded in leftwing circles as a fascist.
So there is Zero possibility of them joining forces. Neither they individually nor their followers would tolerate it.
“possible war with Russia”
Psychopaths have built in self-preservation “look after themselves” and are the opposite of stupid.
Why on earth would they want a (likely) nuclear war to taint the air they breathe.
If they know they can win by a massive first strike would that requirement not destroy the air they breathe anyway via multiple Chernobyl like secondary events (for example) anyway?
Interesting Counterpunch article on Ukraine, looking at an attack on the leader of an antiwar, left wing group by Banderist thugs–and at the way it was reported on the Ukrainian news.
http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/04/26/left-wing-antiwar-voice-in-ukraine-assaulted-by-rightist-extremists/
Typical of the Kiev regime, the reporter questioned whether the attack took place even as video of the attack was playing behind her, and ‘Further in the report, the 112 host says, “We want to find out whether the activists (far-right thugs, that is) will file a complaint against Volga for defamation.” She ponders whether the attack is, in fact, a manifestation of democracy.’
So there we have it. Thugs attacking people for their political stance is democracy, daring to say anything about it is defamation.
Also in Ukraine recently:
Kiev police are investigating possible foul play after a prominent politics expert fell to his death from the ninth floor. The deceased had called for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in eastern Ukraine and had branded recent political turmoil “a plot by oligarchs.”
Andrey Doroshenko was an independent political consultant and a regular guest on Ukrainian political talk shows. His body was found on Sunday in a street in the eastern part of the capital. Doroshenko apparently fell from the window of a stairway landing in a nearby house, which is located about five minutes’ walk from the man’s home, Ukrainian media reported.
The police are treating the 40-year-old’s death as suspicious and are investigating it as a possible murder. He died a few weeks after his home was robbed, his neighbors told journalists. No apparent reason why he would commit suicide was immediately reported.
The expert was a regular on Ukrainian TV political talk shows and panels. Among other things, in his latest interviews he had called for internationally-backed peace talks between Kiev and rebel forces in the east, similar to how the 1995 Dayton Agreement put an end to one of the Yugoslav wars. He also accused Ukrainian oligarchs of stage-managing the latest political crisis in the country through MPs they sponsor.
In the past Doroshenko worked as an aide to Taras Chornovil, a then-MP from the Party of Regions of the ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich. His latest work involved improving ties with Arab nations such as Algeria and Morocco.
Some sources linked Doroshenko with prominent Ukrainian politician Viktor Medvedchuk, who has served as a mediator between Kiev and the rebels. Critics accuse Medvedchuk of being pro-Russian and of sponsoring the rebels.
Doroshenko’s death is the latest in a string of similar incidents in post-coup Ukraine.
In March, Yuri Grabovsky, the lawyer of a Russian citizen who was accused of waging an aggressive war in Ukraine, was kidnapped and brutally killed by two perpetrators, according to Ukrainian military prosecutors. His client has since been convicted and sentenced to 14 years in prison.
Last year in April, prominent opposition journalist and writer Oles Buzina was killed near his home in Kiev. The suspects in the murder, who are Ukrainian nationalists with close ties to the notorious Right Sector group, are being held under house arrest.

The last Cafe was full of interesting debate and insightful discussion. I just need to sit here and chill and take it all in.
I just do not believe the FBI will go all out against Hillary Clinton in a timely manner. She and her cronies are too powerful and will stall and slow down any threatening progress. Once she is elected it will be too late and the matter will die a quiet death. The deep powers will make sure she reaches the pinnacle and nothing will stop them. Such is the sad state we have arrived at. Lord have mercy!
It will take a real revolution to correct this state. The real revolution does not start until people stop producing bullshit for a living. Only if mercenaries and slaves stop supporting a bankrupt system it will crumble. The real vote is a vote of consciousness at everyone’s daily work, not the official charade for presidency.
I think that the people always have the power to change things in their way, no matter what system they are living in. In the long run, there is simply no excuse for political or economic misconduct by the elite because it could be stopped if people would want it.
For the FBI agents working on Hillary’s case, it would mean that they keep going no matter what they are being told. I am aware that this will come at the cost of personal sacrifices for some. On the other hand, why should front agents suffer if they could place the burden on their superiors by working together?
U.S. senator McCain calls the F-35 project “a scandal and a tragedy” :-)
http://ria.ru/world/20160426/1420668388.html :
….. McCain reminded that it was initially planned to build more than a thousand F-35 aircraft of various modifications by 2016. In fact, only 179 aircraft have been built, and this affects the combat capability of all the armed forces, said McCain. Budget cuts and the high cost of aircraft led to the situation where they will keep being delivered to the armed forces until 2040 – when these aircraft will already be obsolete, the Senator added.
In addition, the already produced aircraft demonstrate a number of problems, he said. “There are problems with maintenance, test software, instability of the radar. The defects in the sensors, fuel system, structural damage during testing, the deficiencies in the reliability of the engine, limitations of the crew rescue system that caused the weight restrictions on pilots, and the potential vulnerability to cyber-attacks”, McCain listed the shortcomings of the aircraft. In addition, he criticized the entire course of the project, where the production of the aircraft goes on already a few years – even though the trials aren’t over yet……
If Hillary wins, war is what we may get. She will not start the war intentionally, but she will make some clumsy mistake that starts it. The neocons do not understand Russia.
Anton Johansson, a Swede living in Norway, was a prophet. He saw ww1 coming and tried to warn the German Kaiser. He also saw several US cities destroyed. He had visions at a time when such destruction was unthinkable.
A palm reader said in the 70s that he noted a strange mark in some hands of Americans. That could mean anything, but I associated to Anton Johansson and worried when a friends of mine went back to the US.
Vladimir Putin speaks differently nowadays. Russia has opponents, he says. He does not mention the word partners. Putin has been patient for a long time, but I think he is angry now. He will always protect Russia. His opponents, who are not right in their heads, do not get the message.
Prophecies are prophecies and should not easily be accepted. We have to wait and see what happens. There are several prophecies in Europe about a third big war. I read some prophecies in German. As I understand them Europe will have to fight alone, as Poland had to despite guarantees from France and the UK. The US will stand aside.
I read a post in German in another thread. We were warned against thinking everything is ok. I agree. Trump or Sanders may win, but what are the odds? Can they fight the one percent?
“The neocons do not understand Russia.”
Maybe not and why should they care since they do understand the one’s who control policy 100% http://www.globalresearch.ca/putin-blinks-in-ukraine-standoff-with-the-us-the-role-of-oligarchs/5382611
I can sort of see why the 0.01% can fight the 1% (remember the Panama papers – i’m not sure which division of that Trump & Sanders occupy) but falling out amongst thieves won’t help the big picture.
Everyone, a stiff shot of espresso! While that settles in the stomach and begins to radiate through the circulatory system, I’ll add this: I am also interested in prophecies. I follow this woman who receives channeled messages, Anna Merkaba. She recently received a message that, “The Catastrophe Has Been Averted.”

A pity Steven Hawkings didn’t write a book about The Weaponisation of Everything, rather than The Theory of Everything. Perhaps wood have been more of an advancement for mankind.
US with their full spectrum dominance doctrine have put plenty of time into the study of this. Experience from countless regime change operations, funded research and think tanks to the point manipulating normal human character and foibles is a science.
These things have always been exploited to an extent in the past by astute rulers and generals. But comparing that to what is happening today in full spectrum dominance is like comparing the invention of gunpowder to todays scientific weapons research.
When my kids were young a remember watching a news report on boat people coming to Australia from Vietnam. I saw small a boat full of families, people who had taken the huge risk of putting their family on a small boat from a dangerous journey to another country where they may not be welcome.
I thought about what it would be like to be in a position where I found putting my family on a small boat for a dangerous journey to an unknown future is better than remaining at home. It changed my opinion on refugees no matter the circumstances.
Now refugee flows have been weaponised, used to destabilise countries and regions and to move agents of full spectrum dominance from country to country.
Media. All now taken under control of full spectrum dominance whereas in times past some would side with establishment of the day, some would not, depending on editors and owners. Control of the media can dig into the very heart of human character and its weaknesses.
Protests, part of civilisation but now weaponised into colour revolutions.
NSA and corruption or perception of corruption.
And the list goes on. All the human weaknesses.
Orwell 1984, The Matrix, smoke and mirrors, all bundled together into full spectrum dominance. Results in a very confused, angry, mass of humanity unsure of where to direct their anger.
Keeping your feet on the ground, working out what is normal and what is manipulated, mind bending at times. Sometimes it is just a mater of waiting for the fog of full spectrum war to clear a bit and then the pattern can be seen.
Perhaps wood have….mm Perhaps it would have…
Although I have read all my life, it’s taking a bit to get my writing somewhere near readable.
I perfectly understand your feelings,moreover as you are a father,have family to take care of and your mind and soul is full of concern.Note,that only people with open mind and spirit could have a larger understanding of the world they live in.Of course,as you and I,and many others on this blog – which is a clear example of the wake-up – are searching for the truth and lusting for peace and harmony,many or rather the most people are stuck in their ego,accepting the lies as their daily bread.You and I and others here in this Cafe,while discussing the world’s fate,even of we can stand on our heads like the chinese thumbtack,could not explain to the most numerous out there,what is the truth.Sadly,they will not understand till the worst will come.As long as somebody will not use his/her brain and open his/her heart,nobody from outside can help.But is good the we meet here in this Vineyard Cafe and on the Vineyard battlefields to keep our mind and our hearts open and not let us fall asleep,not let us being swallowed by the mob.Let me put up here some examples of what Jesus said : Don’t be sad that the World does hates you,because you’re not from this world,if you were,this world would have loved you.
I have too much time to sit and think I guess. Not much else I can do at times because of my health.
Though I think about things that I’ve thought about all my life, and now with the internet can do a bit more research on.
It seems we at at the end of an era, a time of change, a lot a darkness but a few bits of light.
ioan and Peter forgive my stopping at your table, but I heard my former handle being voiced and couldn’t help myself.
“Mind and soul” it used to be
Until I sunk into sadness
And went down to the sea.
I stood and thunk and thunk
By eternity’s endless shore.
(Less “heart” I knew I was sunk!)
For two out of three
Is too lacking, incomplete,
Is just an impotent duality.
Stealthily, anonymously,
Snuck I back into the Vineyard
Until St Dennis rechristened me.
Now in search of anonymous/Kim
I must tirelessly seek and seek,
For the Goddess bids me to find him!
A Message from her I tirelessly bear.
I am instructed to find him, to find him!
It cannot wait, with him I must share.
Have you seen him here or anywhere?
The ardent message burns my hand,
Has anyone seen Kim—Is he here?
Bro Anon
Yes,Kim is here,he stands in the corner of the Cafe,hopefully he’ll catch soon on the discussion
Thanks ioan. I came home and caught a cat nap, real casual.
Walked into Le Cafe and told the barista “I’ll have the usual”.
Got my lap top plugged in, takin’ care of the day’s last loose ends.
Then it’s time to hang with a few new faces and some good old friends.
I’ll see what happens,what goes down, when I run into the burning suitor Kim.
Of course She has many that seek Her, yet none so fiercely ardent as him! ‘
Has anybody seen my love?
Go down to the river, babe
I will meet you there
Give me all of your despair
And the flowers in your hair
Haight-Ashbury flash back, Dennis? https://youtu.be/bch1_Ep5M1s
Gentle people with flowers in their hair mixed with future Mansonites and their Man-son, Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, dispensing LSD for the CIA and your uncle, Timothy O’Leary.
The gentle people thought it was about peace, but the dark occultists of the NWO, even then were plotting the murder of the Goddess of Love and True Care, and knew their WAR against humanity was going very, very well..
And many a pied piper, under mind control themselves led others ,where?

Now study those lyrics and wonder why we have an uphill battle changing the poisoned “Nowhere” worldviews of our western neighbors and compatriots. Do you think the Fab Four didn’t take lyric suggestions from The Tavistock Institute, and MI-5 or 6 or whatever the hell the number is assigned to domestic and foreign mind control tasks for the Windsors and Rothschilds, in return for a lavish lifestyle and “popularity”???
Then I’m sorry, you probably won’t be much help in this spiritual war against the satanic NWO.
Dennis, you know I am not speaking really to you, and that I know you are like a Timex watch, you can take a licking and keep on ticking!
I’m speaking to the world. Peace, Bro.
You are a good person Dennis. Never an angry word. It’s good to have you here.
Waitress,
A cup of Cappuccino please… A strong one to help me to overcome the gloomy and suffocating environment I find everywhere looking around.
Old men should live a peaceful life… Alas, I’m still feeling restless and hopeless – what a decaying, vulgar, amoral, and manipulative world I’ve been living in… What a pitiable society based on duplicity and dubiousness that the next generation will have to endure… I want to scream, and this cafe still has some vacant chairs !
Looking back into the late medieval historical ‘progress’ of mankind since 1492 when Jews were expelled from Iberian region, it can be noted how a dark evil power got formed and attained critical mass as the core ‘Zionist’ force (due to so many socio-economic, socio-political and anthropological factors, Israeli Jew as well as Khazarian Jew elites-aristocrats faced wrath of the rulers in medieval Europe and Mediterranean region kingdoms that can really be termed as ‘persecution’ which itself was an indirect fallout of the ‘special’ position of the Jew elites across entire region where the Jew elites controlled the largest share of trade-commerce-banking even if they formed smallest part of the population). The ensuing five centuries witnessed Jew elites-aristocrats spreading steadily in every trading-commercial hubs of the entire region, becoming the key drivers of economy in every region, and more importantly, occupying the most critical position of ‘banker for the kingdom’. How can the rulers remain passive now that most of them, individually, started acknowledging the ‘special capabilities’ of the Jew elites-aristocrats, as Jews have been trumpeting since time immortal that they are the ‘chosen people’? Since English (puritan) Revolution in 1648, the English speaking elites-aristocrats started forming another strand of the ‘double helix structure’- the cunningness, industriousness and military prowess of the ‘Anglo’ elites-aristocrats ensured that the combined ‘AngloZionist’ clique will be a force to reckon with. And, the combination proved to be the first power in the human civilization that set out a target of extending its rule to every nook and corner of the globe !
Between 16th and 19th century the ‘Anglo’ elites-aristocrats established Anglo societies/ countries in North America and Pacific Australia continents through genocidal murder of the local tribal population; while in African and Asian continents they implanted imperialist colonies that will forever maintain hierarchical relationship between ‘Anglo’ aristocracy and regional elites-aristocrats of the anglicized societies. Meanwhile the ‘Zionist’ elites-aristocrats were too busy to fund all such voyages to acquire territories, provide credits for carrying out trading including slave trading, setting up bank/usury in new land. Slowly but surely the ‘AngloZionist’ devil created a ‘capitalist system’ which sucks all resources of the earth, uses the intelligence/knowledge of society accumulated over generations, provides material comforts to people, only to pauperize the largest section of people in geometric progression, the AngloZionist bankers spread the fiat money printing and fractional reserve banking ‘culture’ to achieve ultimate control of the socio-economic affairs of the States and continents and the globe ! Finally, the devil captured all levers of power in societies across almost all countries to create a scenario where local elites-aristocrats happily coopt the oppressor’s activities which finally irreversibly harm their own community and country.
The ‘AngloZionist’ clique meticulously planned the destruction of every serious competitors who might stake their claims for global domination and executed them neatly with minimum material losses – first time, the decimation of Napoleonic French elites-aristocrats who were dreaming of global empire between 1800 to 1815, second time, the decimation of Kaisarian German elites-aristocrats who were on a serious global empire building process between 1890 to 1918 showing more grit and determination than AngloZionists could do in preceding century. Both the times, the English power manipulated Russian emperor to fight the non-Anglo power thereby causing complete devastation in the Russian empire, and both the times, the ‘AngloZionist’ clique became more prosperous and powerful! By 1918, the AngloZionist imperialists and their camp-followers of French, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese imperialists among themselves controlled the entire globe (excluding the tottering empires of Chinese, Russian, and Ottoman). The ‘AngloZionist’ clique however could not block the rising of a rival global power – between 1918 to 1990 old Russian empire was so transformed by its new rulers, the communist party, that after crushing the AngloZionist stooge, the German Nazi party in 1945, with unparalleled loss of manpower and materials, built the ‘Soviet’ power that truly rivalled the ‘AngloZionist’ power on a global scale. This bipolar world also ensured that the colonies across world got political freedom from the European imperialism (including the splendid win of Vietnam over France and USA) The ‘Zionist’ component of the ‘AngloZionist’ clique got a foothold in the ancient land of Jews as an independent state (Israel), which became the land of resettlement for the ‘ethnic Israelis’ Sephardi Jews as well as new settlement for ‘Khazarian’ Ashkenazi Jews.
Where are we in the post-USSR days ?
The ‘AngloZionist’ cabal planned and executed unipolar world order ever since 1991. After dissolution of USSR, most of the governments across every region in the world joined old or new alliance headed by ‘AngloZionist’ cabal. Those governments who acted or showed any inclination to act independently, were removed from power either through ‘colour revolution’ (Ukraine, Georgia) or through ‘invasion’ (Iraq, Libya). Countries like Yugoslavia, Russia and China were identified for dismemberment – an action that will ensure that, never in future those countries with historic anti-AngloZionist sentiment can pose any serious threat to world domination by ‘AngloZionist’ cabal. Unfortunately for ‘AngloZionist’ cabal and fortunately for the world, this dismemberment agenda could only be carried out in Yugoslavia. Russian government resisted the evil designs of ‘AngloZionist’ cabal and Russian society bounced back. On the other hand, Chinese government created a history by turning itself as cheap manufacturing hub for exporting products thereby providing employment to huge number of population.
The Hegemon depended on few key aspects in order to struggle for unipolarity (since 1944) and to maintain its unipolarity in the post-1991 world:
(1) Fiat Dollar was made the international exchange currency- not only the gold backing was withdrawn from Dollar around 1972 by USA government, but USA government also manipulated the Arab rulers to use Dollar as currency for most crucial commodity trading (of petroleum)
(2) IMF and World Bank spread its tentacles to every region of the world to ensure the control of ‘AngloZionist’ cabal over political power-economy-natural resources of countries in every region
(3) The decision-making process in the most important multilateral institution UNO has been brought under control by USA and 5-Eyes governments so that the ‘AngloZionist’ cabal can effectively use the UN for achieving its geopolitical objectives
(4) Unrivalled military prowess of USA and other 5-Eyes countries as well as west European countries (all of which are ruled by ‘AngloZionist’ cabal) has been consistently utilized to either decimate the independent countries (Yugoslavia) or to create permanent chaos (Afghanistan)
(5) Main stream media owned by ‘AngloZionist’ cabal across the world continuously spread lies and deception about ideas/governments of their disliking and simultaneously carry out disinformation campaign about (false) benefits of ideologies like ‘democracy’ and ‘capitalism’ to create public opinion that will ensure the power and authority of ‘local’ country-based oligarchy-politician elites who are in league with the global AngloZionist plutocracy
(6) Rapid development and modification of industrial and other technology by business organizations in USA and EU countries (all of which are owned by ‘AngloZionist’ cabal and its camp-followers) ensure that all other countries have to source the technology from AngloZionist plutocracy thereby creating a dependency
What are the key effects of capitalism in unipolar world ?
(1) Starting with the Bank of England in 1694, every central bank in Europe and North America was essentially founded by the Zionist banking elites-aristocrats. Thus the ‘AngloZionist’ cabal own the banking and money printing systems of both the continents. Since 1945 the finance-capital of ‘AngloZionist’ cabal, through a feudalistic concept, got linked up with all regional finance-capital owned by the local oligarchy except the Soviet bloc countries and China. 1991 threw open the door to the ‘AngloZionist’ cabal to own more than half and control more than four-fifth of the global wealth and finance-capital:
Link – http://euro-med.dk/?p=30120
(2) There is a frightening level of inequality across all regions of the world, rate of which is increasing exponentially in the 21st century. In 2015, 62 individuals had the same wealth owned by 50% of the humanity (that’s about 3.6 billion people), 1% of global population owned 50% of wealth, while 10% of global population owned 88% of wealth:
Link – http://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/jan/18/richest-62-billionaires-wealthy-half-world-population-combined
USA, the most successful showcase project of ‘capitalism’ driven by ‘democratic government’ (both philosophies conceptualized and spread by academicians-philosophers-politicians in British, French, German Europe, most of whom were ideologically beholden to the AngloZionist hegemonic world order) paints a dismal picture of income status of its citizens. In 2015 in US, out of 124.5 million people in prime working years (ages 25–54) about 29 million people (23%) is unemployed, and 51% of the employed workforce earned annual income less than 30,000 Dollar (officially in US, about 28500 Dollar is poverty level of family income):
Link – http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/23-percent-of-americans-in-their-prime-working-years-are-unemployed
(3) Across every region in all countries the ‘AngloZionist’ cabal promote destabilization to install its stooges in political power. Invariably those stooges act for enhancing the power and wealth of the local oligarchy and global ‘AngloZionist’ cabal, which are against the interests of the local population. To achieve the objective, the ‘AngloZionist’ cabal can go up to any level including ‘coup’ something which they showed in Ukraine. To achieve the objective, ‘AngloZionist’ cabal can dismember an independent country as they did in Sudan by partitioning south region.
(4) Rampant destruction of forests and hilly regions through mining and wood logging, rivers through construction of dams, agricultural lands through excessive use of fertilizers has been degrading the global ecology beyond the tipping point. Added to these mindless actions by governments across the world, the carbon emissions due to use of fossil fuels has resulted in overall worsening of the habitat – rise in temperatures, irregularity in rain and flood, scarcity of potable water etc. are becoming more and more acute every passing year.
(5) An artificial virtual world has been created through ubiquitous media propaganda, promotion of vulgar culture, and infinite supply of cheap gadgets. Peoples in most of the countries across all continents are being subjected to this artificial world since their childhood – by the time a child reaches the age of twenty, he/she is fully habituated in self-centred life style without any belongingness to the surrounding society, without understanding of the traditional culture, and he/she is addicted to Hollywood sex-violence movies/music and lives a ‘facebook’/’twitter’ virtual life detached from reality. Slowly but surely, such artificial living kills the thinking capabilities of the young people. What a pitiable condition of these brainwashed zombies to lead a life without a ‘soul’!
Why resistance to AngloZionist hegemony is required ?
Simply because, common people across the world wish to live a life with freedom – freedom from slavery of corporates and money, freedom from poverty and hunger, freedom from ignorance and insanity, freedom from immorality and vulgarity, freedom from manipulation and mind control; and, all of these are achievable when the devil gets crushed permanently and truth-justice-equality gets established. The common people of the world is at crossroads – either we will have to continue to watch and get affected by the savage destruction of all societies and entire nature, particularly of the regions whom mother earth has blessed with abundant resources (minerals, metals, energy, potable water, agricultural land, forest and river), or the sane countries jointly resist the against the evil Hegemon.
Who can and should form the ‘Resistance’ in eastern hemisphere ?
Countries who have large landmass, large population, and advanced civilization will have to lead such resistance. Ideally, those countries must be free from direct historic subjugation from AngloZionist imperialist forces in past, and must have large number of educated people with propensity towards open-minded scientific research and development. Russia and China jointly need to ‘lead’ the initiative with countries like Iran and Kazakhstan acting as the ‘rearguard’ – combined they can be ‘Fabulous Four’. If governments of these countries can’t form such joint initiative and carry on their individual struggle against the Hegemon, the eastern hemisphere will surely turn into graveyard of human civilization by 2050 AD, which will be used for sourcing materials, fuel, and foodstuff for consumption of western hemisphere population (with the migration into the new ‘promised land’ Americas going on for past four centuries, the hierarchical formation of society progressed far than people can imagine – while African community take up the low-skilled base, Latino community take up the semi-skilled middle, post-1950 migrated Indian-Korean-Chinese community as well as European community filling up high-skilled manager-researcher second layer, AngloZionist British/European and Jew elites-aristocrats form the controlling layer as oligarchs-bureaucrats-politicians at the top. ‘White Americans’ who actually are the descendants of Europeans migrated in pre-WW II era, are a community whom the AngloZionist cabal doesn’t want, since being ‘majority population’ of the land, they can disturb the hierarchical social structure by staking a claim on the life-sustaining resources and wealth) !
How are the countries offering resistance to the unipolar world ?
Frankly speaking, I had to wait two decades to spot coordinated and structured resistance to the hegemonic world order in the eastern hemisphere. After Putin’s election as Russian President in 2012 and Xi’s election as Chinese President in 2013, serious efforts could be noticed (channeled through multilateral institutions/programs in SCO, EEU, CSTO):
(1) With Xi cruising at a ferocious pace to restructure Chinese economy from product export-orientation to domestic consumption-orientation as well as decouple the Chinese economy from AngloZionist finance-capital, the entire Eurasia from central Europe to Pacific ocean, from Arctic to Indian ocean will get an economic boost from the recent initiative of One Belt One Road Economic Program – these will effectively peel away the entire zone from the poisonous embrace of the AngloZionist cabal.
(2) With Putin at the helm, Russian military industry has achieved a spectacular turnaround that has only one parallel in the entire history of mankind (Stalin converted a moribund military industry of Soviet Union into technically advanced war machinery within a decade) – the amazingly advanced equipment being churned out for Army, Navy, Space forces as well as unmatched Electronic Warfare systems and Nuclear Missile systems coupled with reorganized military personnel will be strong deterrence against the evil designs of the USA and NATO (owned by the AngloZionist cabal).
(3) Coordinated effort at the international level to bypass the ‘Dollar’ as exchange currency, simultaneous push for national currencies of China and Russia to be gold-backed, setting up of international banking institution like Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, and promotion of FTAAP as trade block of choice are four geo-economic agenda which will go long way to successfully resist the Hegemon.
Is there a need for ideology ?
Any movement needs an/a set of ideology which can act as ‘motor force’ for the movement and provide ‘direction’ at a difficult turn. All the religions (except Judaism), and its founders stood for and preached for truth-justice-equality-morality in ‘social life’. I feel, nothing is more distant to the concepts of ‘social life’ and ‘spiritual life’, than the concepts of ‘Capitalism’ (all shades, agricultural, industrial, finance). Weber was only partially right that Protestant behaviour helped capitalism to take roots, Sombart was perfectly right in identifying Talmudist (Jewish Zionist) belief and practice which ensured success of capitalism (it is established fact that Protestants, Puritans like Calvinists, Lutherans were influenced heavily by Judaism and Talmud). On the contrary, Marxian thoughts among all socio-political and socio-economic thoughts are nearest to the religious concepts of ‘social life’. The essence of Marxian thought is categorically anti-imperialist, anti-exploitation, anti-capitalist, anti-elitist which are precisely the perspectives required for ‘Resistance’ – thus Marxism and Utilitarianism can be natural choice as guiding principles of ‘Resistance’ movement.
Can I list down the stumbling blocks in the prevailing political-economic vectors in the key European and Asian countries that can grow into treachery in near future (even if the actors must be deluding themselves as if they have taken ‘strategic action’ / ‘hedging action’ in the interest of their country) against the burgeoning Eurasian Resistance as well as against their own peoples?
(1) The manipulation of Russian oligarchy and bureaucracy-politician fifth column to keep economy closely coupled with AngloZionist owned European and North American economy and establishing widespread kleptocracy- they are still dreaming about how to restart the wanton loot of the 1990s era initiated by Gorbachev-Yeltsin duo.
(2) The manipulation of Chinese oligarchy and bureaucracy-politician fifth column to keep economy closely coupled with AngloZionist owned European and North American economy and establishing widespread corruption and capital transfer- they are still behaving as if Deng-Jiang era of ‘getting rich’ (by hook or crook) during 1980-2010 is under progress.
(3) The manipulation of Iranian oligarchy and bureaucracy-politician fifth column to establish close economic dependency with AngloZionist owned European and North American economy and establishing widespread kleptocracy- they are still behaving as if Shah-era will come back.
(4) The denial of Belarus government to coordinate political, economic and defense related activities with Russian government and other members of EEU and CSTO- they are preaching ‘non-interference’, but in reality this is equivalent to assuring the AngloZionist clique about absence of Belarus from ‘Eurasian Resistance’ block
(5) The fraudulent gangster government of Moldova shedding all pretentions of international relations, is working for USA and NATO interests and the AngloZionist global order- can’t they apprehend how their land-society-culture-economy continuously getting jeopardized ?
(6) The duplicity of Serbian and Macedonian governments who pretends as if involved in balancing acts (between Russian and Eurasian interests vis-a-vis USA and NATO interests) but in reality serves the interests of AngloZionist global order- can’t they understand that their society-culture-economy getting ruined due to anglo-jewish-american machination against Yugoslavia ?
(7) The surreptitious Romanian and Bulgarian governments who want to take Russian government/ energy department to the court on account of scrapped ‘south stream’ project- it was their intransigence that resulted in cancellation of the project. Is the act of leaking the boots of AngloZionist clique enough for bringing cheap and clean energy to the south Europe ?
(8) The duplicity of Greek government with all its pretensions about ‘fighting the EU (and NATO) for the upliftment of general population’ actually goes on to strengthen the AngloZionist global order- can’t they understand that their society and people will be the first to get exterminated by the Salafist mercenaries (sorry, migrants) arranged by AngloZionist cabal as the plan to destroy the ‘old Europe’ is afoot?
(9) The denial of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan governments to discuss political, economic and defense related activities with Russian and Chinese governments and other members of SCO and CSTO- they are preaching ‘neutrality’, but in reality this is equivalent to assuring the AngloZionist clique about absence of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan from ‘Eurasian Resistance’ block
(10) The stupidity and duplicity of Vietnam government who actively promotes AngloZionist imperialist corporatocracy and kleptocracy by joining TPP ‘free trade block’, as well as actively promotes military block with the AngloZionist clique and its stooge Japanese militarists. Will the act of mindless escalation in Paracel bring them couple of more islands in the South China Sea ?
(11) The stupidity and duplicity of Indian government who actively promotes AngloZionist clique through agreement on providing logistics and communication support in its territory when the AngloZionist forces need (to contain Chinese maritime movements), as well as actively promotes military block with the AngloZionist clique and its stooge Japanese militarists. Will the mindless act of promoting secessionist groups in Tibet and Xinjiang bring them few hundred sq. km. of mountainous land in the Himalayas?
And, to cap all can I note down the ultimate treason being committed day-in and day-out in the following case:
(12) The fifth column of west and central European oligarchy-politicians-bureaucracy-intellectuals (elites-aristocrats following the AngloZionist camp) unmindful of how the living conditions of 90% of their fellow countrymen has been on a downward spiral during past decade, working hand-in-glove with the Saudi-Turkish-Israeli governments (managed by AngloZionist cabal) to bring in millions of Arab Sunni population as ‘migrants’ half of which finally will land up in Salafist mercenary groups based in Europe. When will these fifth column understand that these Salafist will destabilize and destroy the entire European society (including their own home) before achieving the ultimate objective (as set by the AngloZionist cabal) of marching to the borders of Russia ?
I don’t consider any action by governments of Baltic States, Finland, Georgia, Azerbaijan as roadblock or treachery, because, by expressing contempt of Russia and by acting against Russian interests, those countries simply try to justify their existence as ‘sovereign country’ ! Neither I consider actions by governments of east Asian countries like South Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, or of European countries like Poland, Slovakia, Czech, Hungary, Austria, Germany, France, or of west Asian countries like Turkey, Saudi Arab, Jordan, Pakistan as treachery – by no stretch of imagination the present governments of these countries could be considered as bulwark against imperialism.
These stumbling blocks need to be suitably dealt with before any of these can materialize into full scale act of treason against the “Eurasian Resistance” members. The leaders, the governments, and the people’s forums of “Eurasian Resistance” countries must discuss and coordinate actions to neutralize such stumbling blocks over a period of, say, 5 years. Every ongoing geo-political and geo-economic chaos/disturbance being orchestrated by the Hegemon in the eastern hemisphere need to be resisted (by suitable means- diplomacy, political, economic, cultural, military) by the ‘Fabulous Four’. The leaders, the governments, and the people’s forums of ‘Fabulous Four’ must simultaneously spread the what-why-how of the manifesto of ‘Resistance’ far and wide and actively engage in countering the disinformation campaign undertaken by the Hegemon and its camp followers everywhere – be it home, school, government office, public place, public forum, internet, news channels, or publishing media ! All countries of south-east Asia, south Asia, west Asia, central Asia, east Europe, west Europe, north Europe should be either turned into ‘supporter’ or at the worst, ‘neutral’. (The governments in 5-Eye countries, Israel, France-Germany, Japan-Singapore, Turkey-Saudi will continue to act as the AngloZionist cabal controlled ‘springboard’ who are actively building alliance with governments and oligarchy in the countries across the world). The ‘Fabulous Four’ of the ‘Eurasian Resistance’ must overcome the stranglehold of the Hegemon, they must decimate the AngloZionist cabal in the eastern hemisphere. History will not absolve them of their inability to do so.
Thanks to The Saker for allowing me to cry my heart out without reservation. I may not be always right (being cynical), but only time will judge me. To close the rant of this old haggard, I pray:
Oh God! Remove the veil of ignorance and greed from the souls of the treacherous oligarchs-elites-aristocrats and enlighten them with the light of truth and justice!
Oh Lord! Empower your representatives to crush the satanic vices and vulgarity and to establish the saintly virtues and beauty!

The Russian Foreign Ministry human rights ombudsman called for a careful investigation into the information about the torture of Russian citizens in Ukrainian prisons.
Moscow has information that Russian prisoners in Ukraine have been subjected to torture, Russian Foreign Ministry Human Rights Ombudsman Konstantin Dolgov said Wednesday.
We have evidence, in any case there is information, that torture is being used on our citizens in Ukrainian prisons, said Dolgov.
According to him, this information should be investigated carefully and seriously, reports Sputnik.
If these facts are confirmed, someone in the Ukrainian authorities will have to be held responsible, Dolgov added.

Several civilian houses were damaged during the night shelling of Yelenovka, which is located southwards from the Donetsk capital, when a local hospital was targeted by the Ukrainian troops together with other civilian targets in the area.
The bombed hospital is located close to the DPR checkpoint, where 6 civilian died and 10 people were injured by the latest terror bombing while waiting in a queue to cross the border between the Donetsk People’s Republic and Ukraine.
DONi News Team went to the scene to document the damages sustained by civilian targets. Just good luck has saved residents of Yelenovka from further casualties in the village. At least 5 houses were damaged and shells also hit the front-yard of the local hospital, which could be considered to have been the main target for the Ukrainian large-caliber weapons.
According to the local witnesses, the latest terror bombing which started at about 02:30 last night, is caused by nationalist battalions and western-backed mercenaries. In the shelled locations the marks of shelling gave quite a clearly visible evidence (and it can be seen in the pictures too), that direction from where the shells were fired is from the Ukrainian side.
Any military reason to shoot the village, the queue of civilian cars or local hospital can not be seen.

DONi News Agency
and that is just recent news reported today folks………………..
JJ,
Among the ‘pressure points’ created by AZ cabal for Russia (Ukraine, Crimea, Caucasus, Syria) Ukraine and Syria are very large humanitarian disaster – in both the cases, due to ongoing economic problems, international laws, and internal fifth column, President Putin has limited options of how to take effective action. Needless to say, in both cases Russia is building up its case patiently. If the AZ cabal directly or through its flag-bearers (Ukro Nazis, Salafist Fascists) continue their journey towards more chaos, Russia will have to engage heavily with all its might, to settle the score, at least for its own survival.
Similarly, there are couple of ‘pressure points’ for China – South China Sea, Taiwan, Hong Kong. And, China, till now, could do little about resolving South China Sea and Taiwan issues. Only silver lining is, these are yet to become humanitarian disasters.
I remember a poll that Saker did a year ago or so, asking his readers if the blog was focusing to much on Ukraine, and the readers voted “NO”, some commenting that the situation in Ukraine is very,very important. Saker wrote at that time that he also thought the Ukraine is very,very important.
I can understand that the situation in Syria had to take the “first place” on the priority list during the autumn and winter, but now? Has he given up that issue, hoping that other writers and commenters here on the blog will take the responsibility to keep the focus on Ukraine?
I trust Saker’s judgement, but I am still wondering why the focus has turned so much away from Ukraing on this blog. Maybe it is our responsibility to keep that issue in focus, and that we all have to come together and report more about the situation in Donbass, not waiting for somebody else to do that for us.
These days, ahead of the anniversary of the Odessa massacre, might be a good time to scramble our resources and again make Donbass the center of the blog.
Tegularius,
My rant was not really about ‘Ukraine’ or ‘Syria’ – it was about the ongoing devastation of the mankind in Eurasia (of which Ukraine and Syria are two pressure points being faced by Russia). As I have replied to JJ, Ukraine and Syria are very large humanitarian disasters, where President Putin is bound by limited options.
Having said that, I feel within two years time Russia might be forced to engage directly (the Ukro Nazis backed by Salafist Fascists will not come to senses) – then, the plausible solution will be to free Novorossia (currently east and south regions of Ukraine) from the current Ukraine government, which should declare itself as independent country.
as usual, western press the other day did an article-well the Uk Daily Mail heh??-on a ukrainian guy that had strung up a cat by wire and was torturing it, bearing it to death, photographed and reported by animal rights of course probably(perhaps it was an Azov or Aidar doing some army training)-but of course no news in western media re continuing escalation, shelling, deaths, injuries etc in Donbass.
So….press as just as sick is this guy perhaps.
JJ,
” So….press as just as sick is this guy perhaps ” >>
Do you seriously think that ‘press’ is a different entity than ‘this guy’ ?
In the east Europe after 1991, Soros (of AZ cabal) funded everything – political parties, governments, press, fascist militia, businessmen … everything you can think. Thus the ‘press’ and ‘this guy’ as well as ‘poroshenko’ all have the same ‘father’, and hence they are different heads of the same hydra.
“confirmation”
KIEV, April 27. / TASS /. The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) on Wednesday confirmed four civilians were killed in the shelling of the Elenovka border checkpoint of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR).
“According to a preliminary assessment, three vehicles were damaged, four civilians were killed, and an unconfirmed number of people were injured,” the SMM wrote on Facebook.
DPR Defense Ministry’s spokesman Eduard Basurin earlier said five civilians were killed.

MOSCOW, April 27. /TASS/. Moscow is surprised by the statement of Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko on the need to deploy in Ukraine heavily armed OSCE observers, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday.
“The president of this country (Ukraine) has recently made a statement, suggesting it is necessary to arm the OSCE observers in the southeast of Ukraine with heavy weapons,” she said. “We are very surprised by these statements made in an interview to Ukrainian TV channels.”
According to her, Poroshenko proposed to introduce in the southeast of the country “a special police mission armed with heavy weapons that will be able to ensure security and protect itself.” “A certain OSCE police mission with heavy weapons – it looks like another know-how of Pyotr Aexeyevich (Poroshenko),” Zakharova said. “Such a thing does not exist even in the UN peacekeeping practice.”

“We hope that by the ‘heavy weapons experience’ the ‘president of peace’, as he calls himself, did not mean nuclear missile or other weapons of mass destruction,” the diplomat said. Such ideas are completely divorced from reality. Of course, they have nothing to do with the civil mandate of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) deployed in Ukraine.”
Zakharova said that the OSCE SMM has the task to monitor the situation in the sphere of security throughout the territory of Ukraine, to monitor the observance of human rights, the fulfilment of obligations on the ceasefire regime and the withdrawal of weapons. “We are closely following the mission’s reports,” she said. “We are ready to regularly send to the Ukrainian colleagues the mission’s statistical data in order to protect the authorities in Kiev from such unrealistic beliefs.”

MOSCOW, April 27./TASS/. Tension is visibly growing in Odessa ahead of May 2, marking two years since the Odessa massacre; the paramilitary battalions Aidar and Azov, as well as the Right Sector movement have become increasingly active, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a briefing on Wednesday.
“Alarming reports have been coming from Odessa of late, tension is visibly growing in the city,” the diplomat said. “We all know that unfortunately, on May 2 we will mark two years after a tragedy at the Trade Unions House, where dozens of civilians died in the blaze, were killed by nationalists, radicals,” she went on.
“Once again reports come that trained militants from the groups ‘notorious’ for their crimes are being gradually concentrated in the city,” she said, referring to the Aidar and Azov battalions, as well as the radical Right Sector outlawed in Russia.

“Additional forces of the Ukrainian National Guard is moved into the city, the city police are getting ready for having wounded persons,” she went on. “In the past two years after the tragedy, the Ukrainian authorities have failed, or other failed or were unwilling, the second is more likely, to carry out a thorough objective probe into the crime with the aim to clarify all circumstances of that tragedy and to strictly punish those responsible,” she added.
“Clear preparations of the present Ukrainian authorities for whipping up tension and organizing new provocations cannot but cause alarm,” Zakharova said. “We expect that adequate politicians in Odessa, if it still has such, will manage to avert a new tragedy, prevent a new spiral of civil confrontation,” the diplomat said.

Rus v unhappy re NATO Black Sea Fleet proposal………
SB, you’re not a cynic. You are weary as every person is at times, and you wrote a great long comment that took a lot of work and ended with a prayer for a renewal of energy for all who are engaged in the Good Fight.
Here is a cynic, answering this post of mine /moveable-feast-cafe-2016-04-23/comment-page-1/#comment-232087 and disparaging Mr Putin and his Chinese counterpart.
we go back and forth a few times, and mods rightly cut off my ability to reply, as I told Anonymous that unless he picks a handle, after two efforts. “It’s over and out.”
But I like his reply, because, although stubborn on the handle matter, there is Progress!!!
If you see what I see. LOL It’s almost like I can’t deploy the “woof, woof!” polemic on him any longer (response was too human, less cynical than where he started !!) or this fun video:
https://youtu.be/Qkuu0Lwb5EM Who Let the Dogs Out??? Who??? Who?? for those that missed the fun.
Bro Anon,
Thanks for your kind words supporting my rant …
I went through the details of exchange between you and anonymous following the link you sent. I must say, the exchange was interesting yet depressing (because while you rightly pointed out the reality faced by leaders pitching for multi-polar world, the anon missed out some obvious things) – how long peoples (who are knowledgeable and intelligent) will miss out such obvious facts ?
Or, is it that, such behaviour is completely ‘the expression’ of a troll ?
However, Bro Anon, we have to carry on the fight for a just society.
Straight-Bat, here is my attitude about Free Your Mind From Canine Consciousness:
Although he or she will almost certainly never pick up the handle I have bestowed on him/her (or even the occulted FYMFCC), 1) he or she has been here for years,2) he or she “took a licking and kept on ticking”, 3) he or she ended thusly:
“I’ll keep half an eye on the spooky numbers.”
SB, that’s “family”!!!
Actually, a half an eye is way better than much of my family!!! Ha, ha, ha.
Troll? No, I don’t think so. More like “kindred, weary soul”.
Here is where Christ would turn the other cheek and give FYMFCC every opportunity to rise further off the checkerboard tiles of base consciousness where the great majority of the human race wanders aimlessly between darkness and light.
If half an eye becomes one eye fully opened, he/she is on his/her way and our ranks have swelled at least 100 times more than he/she can account for by his/her self, as others more timid than he/she, who just sneak into the Vineyard under cover of morning fog read and think and never post, do the same slow, perhaps reluctant, but partially expectant, cracking open of one of their sleep encrusted eyes!
Halleluja! The Great Awakening has begun!
Halleluja! The Dawn of Eye Opening can be sung!
For Venus is risen in the eastern sky
And mundoman has announced the how and why!
Bro Anon,
Agree – he/she is not a troll. Your observation is quite analytical.
Yes, we are witnessing the Great Awakening – the satanic devil must be worried, very worried.
If you let me know how your espoused “multi-polar” world is any better than a unipolar – in respect of this:
http://www.gks.ru/bgd/regl/b14_12/IssWWW.exe/stg/d01/07-01.htm (the term of particular focus is the Coefficient of funds (coefficient differentiation of income)10), in times).
i’d be a lot more interested.
Martin (who I always admired & liked & still do) would argue with me bitterly (and we both in bad temper) at times until he realised there is little (or no) benefit to a multi-polar world as it is currently conceived. Unfortunately my suspicion is that (because of the ferocity of those “conflicts”) he will never count me a friend (I hope i’m wrong though) – in the same way I railed against my dying father many years ago for his religious beliefs, I am not proud of that.
If i’m a cynic then this is summary why /moveable-feast-cafe-2016-04-23/comment-page-1/#comment-232287
“There is no good reason why tens of thousands of kids should die each day in this world of plenty. States are not a solution but a state, perhaps, is.”
I do wish strongly for a “just” alternative but I feel bitterly that Putin/Xi are further symptoms of the curse only. Unless “we” collectively identify the real problem it will be impossible to fix (and maybe not even then as Kim recently described most eloquently here /moveable-feast-cafe-2016-04-23/comment-page-1/#comment-231646). Simply put, fantasy is futile (in the same way that mankind generally has been hoodwinked to believe that “God is good” (if that deity exists) when a little reflection on the logical problem of evil should quickly dispel that myth).
Nice to know i’m not a troll, until the next time at least [or maybe this won’t “get through” :-( to wider gaze].
PS: Bro Anon/Mind & Soul – the reason for “Anonymous” posting is that I know my opinion is, mostly, unliked here and during the days with Kat Kan more posts written anonymously met the public gaze than those attempted with various handles through her.
PPS: While I don’t, generally, feel welcome at the cafe I do feel that i’m, mostly, among those who are searching (and thinking) for a better way. The (very) odd Saker rant makes me consider leaving for good but I have always, so far, returned. It’s a much better addiction than nicotine :-)
PPPS: Bro Anon, you could perhaps wish to clarify something that I found vaguely confusing after you said this:
“BTW, I am not religious, as Saker is. I am a lot more into knowing, than believing. But I do recognize seeds of truth in many religions, and today is a day to give some thought to one individual who had a lot to do with providing an alternative, more potentially human way of being to that bestial model of masters and slaves provided by “Caesar” and the dark occultists controlling the controllers in the regions of the Roman Empire of his day.”
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occult:
“Occultism is the study of occult practices, including (but not limited to) magic, alchemy, extra-sensory perception, astrology, spiritualism, religion, and divination. Interpretation of occultism and its concepts can be found in the belief structures of philosophies and religions such as Chaos magic, Gnosticism, Hermeticism, Theosophy, Wicca, Thelema and modern paganism.”
Since you believe in these “dark occultists” I guess you accept that part of their occultism was based in the study of religion? if so, why (or rather, how) can you not be religious, as I take it from what you said at face value (but have, perhaps misunderstood)?
It may also save us some comment, time and polemics – only outside the situation of a deity creator am I further interested in discussing your opinion here:
“No pain, no gain”, dude, or dudette! But that doesn’t mean you turn pain into your pleasure and wallow in it forever. That isn’t exactly advancing the task of creation becoming more conscious of itself.”
Within the context of an all powerful deity creator this is just kerfuffle on the way to the alleged final destination
In case it could help – I was about to comment that I am agnostic but realised that as nonsense since I find it difficult to conceive that there is not intelligent design & if that designer has an intimate relation with it’s creation and is all powerful then that designer is of a mixed character – a part of which is most heinous.
Anonymous, time is short, but these posts of yours merit a reply that might hold you for a day or two.
If people put nothing or “Anonymous” in the name box I don’t know if it is someone new, you, or Kim forgetting to put Kim at the bottom of his comment,as he usually does. If he put it at the top, that would be helpful, but he doesn’t get that . Yet. If you put Anonymous 2.0 like human 2.0 that would help. Simple.
Now, you said “Since you believe in these “dark occultists” I guess you accept that part of their occultism was based in the study of religion? if so, why (or rather, how) can you not be religious, as I take it from what you said at face value (but have, perhaps misunderstood)?”
A correction is in order. I don’t “believe in these dark occultists”. I KNOW they exist and I know I DON’T believe in what they believe in.
Occult simply means “hidden”.
There are very good reasons for positive elites and dark so called elites to hide certain things. If you can’t figure that out, I will illustrate why in my next reply in a day or two.
OR, since you have provided a great deal of insight into your thought processes, I invite someone like Sraight Bat, who agreed with my hypothesis that you are not a troll, and who thinks more or less (95%, easily) like I do on the macro-world, at least, to take over. It’s OPEN forum, guys and gals. Help me out! Gotta keep an eye out for Kim, at the bottom of new posts, since he’s into occulting the name box.
I have a message for him I am trying to deliver, non-publicly.
“Simple.”
Not so – my public posting success may suffer (as before) & therefore won’t won’t happen. Sorry.
“A correction is in order.”
Yes, a misunderstanding based on my omission. My meaning in the original would have been better stated as:
“Since you believe in the existence of these “dark occultists””
I’m open to an explanation of why wealth inequality in Russia has exploded during his oversight which might “paint” him as a positive elite.
Unfortunately the concentration of power in such leads to the (thus far, seemingly inevitable) problem of corruption by desire & ego so elitism (good or bad) by itself is the ultimate problem – Uncle Bob has previously expressed his opinion the best we can hope for is a benevolent Monarch more in touch with the people than with the nobles but that leads to the problem and vagaries of succession. I don’t wear any of that, we must get up off our knees and not look up or down to any other. It is exactly why I recently said this to Martin /moveable-feast-cafe-2016-04-23/comment-page-1/#comment-232287:
“Martin, I generally admire you also and happen to agree with you about Communism.
However, Kim has already pointed out its primary weakness above:
“That opened the floodgates and exposure to the lavish lifestyle of the capitalist world.”
Therefore, since temptation and ego will always exist then the existence of multiple states (who are not Communist) create the likelihood (or inevitability) for the failure of a Communist state.
I am not anti-state, I am anti-states and all the attendant discord and conflict that nationalism (and religion) brings with it.”
Will someone please explain to Stubbornly Anonymous, that Mr Putin has his hands full trying to save Russia, every bit as much, And MORE!!!!!! than FDR did when this man, Gen Smedley Butler revealed a fascist plot by banksters to Kill FDR and take over the country:
https://youtu.be/voZ-kRCtLYw
At 6 minutes 20 sec Butler exposes Morgan and others and to his shock and dismay, FDR (with his eyes on the immediate prize (economic mobilization to defeat fascism world-wide, not just on Wall St, the New Deal to uplift millions out of depression, malnutrition, hopelessness—can’t fight a war with total losers….. ) does not line them up and shoot them,as Stalin would have. And maybe Martin from SEB is right: If he (FDR) had been Stalin, that would have been better, and we would not be facing what we face today!
However the culture and the people vary around this globe of ours, and FDR, being no fool, calculated a compromise based on his assessment that he needed the cooperation of his enemies on Wall St and that liquidating them Stalin style would remove financial capacity that he believed he needed to do what he intended to do and DID subsequently do.
Now, Stubbornly Anonymous, compare Putin to FDR: No protection of two oceans from foreign enemies, has liquidated the worst of his oligarchs by legal means rather than death, and is giving you and I precious time to do what has to be done over here!
And you are complaining about the job he’s doing over there! removed – no attaking other commenters. Mod on Duty
I’m glad I found time for another reply today, but others more qualified than I will hopefully step forward and realize that you (and probably a thousand visitors a day to the Vineyard, that have the same “concerns about Putin” that you do could benefit from their expertise in making such historical comparisons for your edification X 1000 others like you who never post.
Got to go. But check this out /moveable-feast-cafe-2016-04-26/comment-page-1/#comment-233008 It’s also written with you in mind. Not that you were taken in by “The Summer Of Love”. I don’t know that you were. But I do know that millions of people who affect your consciousness, and Denis’ and Mine………… Were taken in, whether they were in SF, Woodstock, or somewhere in between, suffreing hte same setbacks in the spiritual/cultural/counter-cultural WAR going on in the guise of a “peace” movement.
Let the polemics begin:
Both removed – shutting down this type of commenter attack. Mod on Duty.
If you let me know how your espoused “multi-polar” world is any better than a unipolar – in respect of this:

i’d be a lot more interested.
“Will someone please explain…”
If you can rely on your own thoughts we might have a better outcome although, at this stage, I doubt it.
Straight Bat, re: trolIdom, I think that we need to reassess our agapic conclusion above.
Agape is one thing. Being a sap for disinvited trolls is another.
In another thread at this same Cafe, this Stubborn Anonymous posted this:

The same ridiculous high horse edict giving of several weeks ago. And zero humor. Very sad. Near 100% right brain atrophy, resulting in zero True Care.
He’s either a conscious troll, or he’s absolutely hopelessly damaged from left brain imbalance, and is an unconscious troll. which is worse, in a way: At least with a conscious troll you have some consciousness to work with!!!
Since I recognize patterns and have a pretty fair memory I will assert right now that his former handle is EWAN, and Saker invited him to leave, during “Spring Cleaning”. I couldn’t find the thread, however. It was a few short weeks ago. Keine zeit, nyet vreminye, etc.
I ask you to kindly check my revised analysis, if you have time, by examining his latest gems. Two heads are better than one. Much appreciated!
Bro Anon,
I’m very sorry to miss out your note dated 30-Apr in this blog, addressed to me.
I woke up to your comment through link in another post today.
The troll you mentioned is really of “unconscious” nature devoid of any logical thought process. May be you correctly identified the troll as former commenter EWAN (whom The Saker invited to leave).
“and mods rightly cut off my ability to reply, as I told Anonymous that unless he picks a handle, after two efforts. “It’s over and out.””
My understanding is…they didn’t.
There is a limited number of replies available to each comment (set in the blog software) – when that is exceeded the “reply” button is no longer available.
You could reply to a prior comment e.g. your own comment here /moveable-feast-cafe-2016-04-23/comment-page-1/#comment-232488 and (I think) it would be placed at a “reasonable” (understandable, at least) position in the comment thread.
You have got the hang of copying link addresses into comments very well.
A long and powerful rant with many meaningful points and logical construct.This is what you have done.Thanks…and now you can order a cup of Cappuccino for me too,with Brandy if possible…

Thanks for your supporting words …
Yes, these are logical constructs from my own experience and understanding.
Waitress,

Espina,
Thanks for the moral support.
And, I pray and wish more power to all of us who feel morally as part of the Resistance movement, and take part in unearthing the truth in The Saker’s blogsite.
Please spread the message as far as possible to as many peoples as possible.
@ Straight-Bat
I think your rant just covered it all and there is not much to be added to the topic. You even touched on “my lost masterpiece” theme of hegemonic mind-control. I’m going to put my pen down and relax for a while. Yet, recalling Lenin, “what’s to be done?”
Kim
Kim,
Theme of ‘hegemonic mind control’ and ‘ecological disaster’ are two of my favourite topics – the first one is ‘how’ the AZ cabal creates havoc in the world and the second one is the ‘effect’ of that havoc.
It is not difficult to understand that the entire game of ‘capitalistic economy’ is swindle of gigantic scale, still peoples seem to consider it as a panacea for the economy and ‘growth’ – it is due to the ‘mind control’ of the masses…
I really feel elated that the fellow commenters like you are finding my rant as a good coverage of the current (global) scenario.
Coming to the point of ‘relaxing’. I suggest, no, not at all.
You asked paraphrasing Lenin “what’s to be done?”, my response is – organize Resistance:
(1) if you are in the eastern hemisphere – organize forums to make peoples aware of the horrors of AZ plans, for common peoples outside such forum organize programmes and distribute booklets, organize pressure groups which can influence government activities …
(2) if you are in the western hemisphere – organize forums to make peoples aware of the horrors of AZ plans, for common peoples outside such forum organize programmes and distribute booklets … In the current scenario, I don’t know if any pressure group other than AZ owned, can make any influence on the government policies !
Straight Bat
Nukes and technology after WWII seemed to change the nature of the game. More subterfuge, more mind control as direct confrontation would end in mutually assured destruction. Vietnam changed war reporting. Until Vietnam freelance journalists could go to the US/western wars and have their stories published by MSM. Move on to todays US military doctrine where non vetted journalists are considered belligerents. All we see is a military spokesman making a statement and a picture of inflight refueling.
The mind control through total control of media and politicians throughout the US empire, the petro dollar – the world reserve currency controlled by one nation, something I think never seen before in history and a powerful weapon for control of other nations.
With the new cold war that US has started, there is no ideology to fight – to unite against. US has created the current cold war as it is, pursuing total full spectrum dominance over the world.
The steel fist is starting to come out of the glove to keep the “allies” in line. The more the US has to use direct threats to keep “allies” in line, the more the populations will see through the media spin and the more those populations will see that the US is an occupying force rather than an ally.
I think the most recent example of that was Obamas threats to the UK if they voted out of the EU. According to polls the no vote jumped three percentage points after Obama’s threat. Nobody likes being threatened.
Another thing I have seen. Hollande after the Paris attacks talked of working with the Russian force in Syria. He was called to a meeting with Obama after which France joined the US and then seemed to loose interest in Syria.
Australian PM Turnbull, when he first came to office, declined the US invitation to join their so called freedom of navigation exercises, and instead the Australian navy took part in live fire exercises with the Chinese navy. He was called in to Obama’s office and now Australia joins the US in its provocations in the SCS.
What happens when these heads of state are called in to see Obama? Direct threats against them and their families. What goes on here?
Peter AU,
Both your observations are very true – the reluctance of allies like France, Australia, and even UK to overtly get associated with US saber-rattling; US deploying more and more hybrid warfare which includes (mass) mind control.
My take on this is that, the ‘power elites’ (who directly deal with the governance after taking the instructions from ‘control elites’ who are the leaders of AZ cabal) of UK/AUS/NZ/CAN are worried about 90% probability of complete rout if and when a real war take place with countries like Russia and China in which case, the US will remain as safe as today walled by two oceans on two sides ! This worry creates such inconsistencies in their behavior, that again call for direct intervention of the ‘power elite’ of USA (who reminds them about the ‘booty’ or ‘boot’).
Mind control, as the most important technique used in hybrid warfare, will finally be the biggest weapon in the hands of AZ cabal ! I feel the Eurasian countries must carry out serious programmes/campaigns about the evil designs of AZ cabal.
Ah, ha! There you are (or were!) I can tell by your lingering cyber comment, anonymous/Kim!

“my lost masterpiece” theme of hegemonic mind-control.
A pity you lost it. The more input on this subject the better.
“One Step Forward, Two Steps Back.” perhaps.
yats has allegedly been given Canadian citizenship: http://www.breaking-news.ca/breaking-canada-grants-citizenship-to-ukraine-prime-minister-yatsenyuk-and-his-family/ ; Fort Russ reported he’s gone to Argentina (don’t know if permanently).
“Fort Russ reported he’s gone to Argentina”: to take over the reigns of presidency from Kirchner!
In the “things aren’t always what they seem category” – Pepe Escobar offers this view on the privatization of Rosneft: (https://www.rt.com/op-edge/341107-saudi-arabia-oil-wars/)
“…So a credible scenario seems to be a world not exactly awash in crude oil, and with the price of a barrel going up soon. And right at this juncture we find China’s CNPC making a play to become a major shareholder of Rosneft – Russia’s top oil producer, which plans to sell 19.5 percent of its shares.
Predictably, US analysts don’t seem to understand why Rosneft may become a top Russia/Chinese-owned corporation. This has nothing to do with selling oil assets when prices are down; Rosneft shares are doing fine, by the way. It’s about the energy/financial consolidation of the Russia-China strategic partnership – from Pipelineistan (those massive, $300 billion gas deals clinched in 2014) to the close connection of Moscow and Shanghai stock exchanges. Translation: all these sophisticated moves further bypass the US dollar.”
Now that’s tricky.
Kurds retrieved a body of Russian agent near Palmyra.
http://ekurd.net/syria-kurds-body-russian-officer-2016-04-27
That was the body of the officer that called in the air strike on himself.
From what I have read, various groups fighting in Syria will pay for the return of fighters killed or taken prisoner so often bodies are kept, and after a period of negotiations when a price is agreed on the body is returned. That seems to be what has happened here, where Kurds have been negotiating with ISIS on behalf of Russia, a price I take it, was agreed on, and the remains returned.
Turkish Writer, Who Revealed Erdogan’s Diploma Is Dated When Its University Was Not Existent, Found Dead:
Turkish writer Ergun Poyraz, who had earlier said that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has no actual higher education and as president he received this education illegally, is found dead.
Poyraz organized an investigation that proved that Erdogan’s diploma is a fake and he did not study at the university. Poyraz published the original version of Erdogan’s diploma, which he allegedly wrote while studying at Marmara University. It turned out that the diploma is dated when the University of Marmara was not existent.
It should be noted that the 4-year college education is mandatory for the election of the President of Turkey.
Turkish party “Salvation of the people” on the basis of the investigation lead by Poyraz appealed to the court, stating that Erdogan presented a fake diploma to participate in the elections.
Poyraz soon began to face various difficulties in Turkey. Now, he was found dead.

Sergey,
That’s very interesting, but not too surprising …. Here is a megalomaniac-fascist who has been nurtured by the Hegemon to take over the role played by Hitler in the last century. He has been following the script quite meticulously till February 2016 – yet to understand why and how the script and/or play seemingly got into some troubles (is the Kurd factor not appropriately taken into account by the script writer of Hegemon or, is it that the Russian Bear counter-played the Kurd factor ?)….

Donald trump on US foreign policy. Don’t bother with the article in the link, just the video. Well worth watching.
http://www.smh.com.au/world/us-election/donald-trump-promises-the-world-on-foreign-policy-gives-no-details-in-speech-20160427-gogp7x.html
That Trump’s speech: well said.
Incidentally, on Sunday before last, on 17 April, in Vladivostok, Putin stated that he hoped to see Trump in the White House – and called Hillary Clinton a termagant wife who bears the disgrace of supporting the terrorists in Syria. An excellent characterisation.
(That news is all over the web, check for instance http://hotcopper.com.au/threads/putin-supports-trump.2751776/ , or http://awdnews.com/top-news/putin-russia-hopes-to-see-donald-trump-in-the-white-house-as-he-fully-understands-the-impending-threat-of-terrorism-emanating-from-saudi-arabia,-clinton-is-a-termagant-wife-who-bears-the-disgrace-of-supporting-terrorists-in-syria , etc…)
Unfortunately this is exactly what Hillary’s campaign would like to hear. It will allow her to talk tough about Putin being “afraid to face her” and the “termagant wife” quote will allow her to play the crusading woman against the misogynist.
Hopefully this will not be picked up by US media.
Yes, I suppose you are right. Still … Putin said it as it is.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMZqS7q7voY
Excuse me, it seems that “termagant wife” is a rather tame insult for the woman who claimed Putin “had no soul”. But, then Putin has 100 times more class than the lot of them in power in Washington.
Hillary will play every dirty trick she can get away with and cry foul and even shed actual tears if it could not be turned against her. She will snivel as she shamelessly plays the “female card”. We shouldn’t vote for men over women because that is sexist; but voting for women over men is not? Hmmm judging by the quality of their character is so 20th century passe and examining their political program ( what is that?) is so very highbrow so we just can’t have that. Not in American politics.
We can thank our lucky stars that Mr. B. S. ( aka muddy-the-water boy) is falling by the wayside. Some of my friends are actually going to write him in as President.
I hope this isn’t so far down it isn’t noticed, but I don’t want to email Saker at his request right now.
Saker,
Please put a ‘title’ or caption on your images of Icons.
The Saint Mary of Egypt story was very moving, and I was able to figure out which one was her Icon of course. But, most of your Icons are new to me and I would like to be able to look them up and read about them.
Thank you!
Please put a ‘title’ or caption on your images of Icons.
Very good idea. Actually, others have suggested the same thing. I also would like to leave a “repository” of icons somewhere on the blog. I will look into this after Paskha or, better put, I will make the suggestion to my webmaster :-)
Cheers and thanks.
The Saker
I’m hiding in a corner sulking for the loss of a masterpiece just wrote about mind-control techniques used to keep us sheeple. It just disappeared in a puff, in a micro-heartbeat, and I’m heartbroken and desole’. Merde!
Kim
Don’t be desolé,you have very good comments and a few guys her in the Cafe are waiting for that.
By the way,there are a multitude of issues in the world and is over yet.Bro Anon asked if you are just at the restroom.
“By the way,there are a multitude of issues in the world and is over yet” – I meant – is not over yet.
sorry
You’re not alone, Kim. Soon incredible mental balance will be yours for the taking and these jarring incidents will cease to hamper you. Same vanishing work thing has happened to many of us. So, until your left and right hemispheres are in perfect coordination and balance, here’s a tip:
Construct your Magnum Opi ( Opuses?) in WORD first, use control “s” often to save work, and when completed, copy it all and paste into the Saker Blog comment box, and then do final tuneup before hitting the “Paste a comment” button.
You must be serene in your ardor to receive the Goddess’s invitation. She doesn’t dig bi-polar dudes, and your brain waves have been going a bit nuts, fluctuating wildly between anticipation, techno-frustration and compositional mania, and depressive lows. Realize you were never meant to be a yo-yo. And that the strength of your will is a big plus, so let’s try to overcome all other obstacles in your way. https://youtu.be/2OITxdCJg2Y Now you should be ready.
Here’s the deal. The Goddess does not want to wait for me to rest through Easter. She is the most ancient Goddess, but imitators have sprung up over the ages and one of those is Astarte. http://www.ucg.org/the-good-news/what-are-the-real-origins-of-easter And, believe it or not, Easter is nothing less than Astarte, the Chaldean Goddess or “Queen of Heaven” of the early Semites. Accordingly, real ,most ancient and most original Goddess of True Care and Love will allow Astarte her day without aggression against her, but will not stand down herself and rest for so long a time. Those who paint eggs and hide them and engage in such childish rituals may play with Astarte,.but the True Goddess will conduct her role with real men with the ardor to ascend, while mere boys plays with painted chicken eggs and plastic toys.
So I have a message for you from the Goddess. If you send your email to the Saker, he can send you my email, and vice-versa. OR, you can instruct him to keep your email from me and do this relay just once, for now. Either is okay with me. All I am is a facilitator.
I just thought that you might be a it more anxious if I simply posted the message on the Cafe for all to see, and might be more calm if that more public sharing of her message were to be made a bit later, by me, or perhaps by you. After all, I am somewhat hampered by my health and I have no franchise on anything! So Saker or mods receive your email from you and mine from me, and relay the attachment to you, or Saker emails your email to me and I mail you the attachment. That way you can ask me non-public questions by having my email. Your choice!!! And I hope “Kim” is in your email address, for Saker to check, because we don’t want insincere imposters butting in pretending to be Kim. They will get their chance soon enough. But you are first, bu qualified response, and will definitely have the best prepared mindset for my paper if you fully take in the Goddess’s Message.
So, I will wait for your reply and proceed accordingly on the deliverance of her message to you, if your will still holds . Meanwhile my paper on the Goddess, which if widely grasped, could bury Daesh, is nearly ready for the next Cafe, as this one is close to closing, I sense.
Looking forward to it Bro Anon, but beware of the sh.. oops.. er.. peasant. (Have upgraded my status. :)
THE POLONIUM HITS THE FAN AT THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
The Posthumous Papers of Boris Berezovsky’s London Club produce yet another surprise!
The Cast:
Bill Browder, American investor, thrown out of Russia in 2006, claimed by Berezovsky’s posthumous papers to have been a CIA agent all along with a mission to defame Russia.
Sergei Magnitsky, Browder’s business partner and lawyer. Died in a Russian prison, the Berezovsky Papers claim the death was arranged by Browder.
Andrei Nekrasov, Russian movie director. Has produced numerous films defaming Russia and Putin. Close to Berezovsky and said to work for him.
Heidi Hautala, Finnish Member of the European Parliament, vice-president of the Green/EFA group, Andrei Nekrasov’s partner / girlfriend. One of Europe’s leading Russophobes, Putin hater.
Act 1
Andrei Nekrasov produces a new movie exonerating Putin: (source)
Act 2
The film was to be screened in the European Parliament on Wednesday 27 April. The event was to be organized by the Green/EFA group: (Or was it?)
Act 3
Bill Browder hires lawyers to block the screening of the film: (source)
That is amazing
I have a number of questions here:
– Is it usual that films or documentaries are screened at a parliament? Or does it represent a new step-up in lobbying the members of parliament?
– Why do the organizers follow orders of lawyers of an involved party? Not enough money to dismiss an eventual litigation claim? For, if the documentary reports facts, its screening is legal.
Good article re this on russia insider by gilbert doctorow today. Surely I saw an article re kolomisky funding millions to get the Act passed?????
this might be well worth watching
“State Duma deputies have proposed to resume the intercept center in Lourdes and place Russian missiles in Cuba in order to protect the interests of Russia. Representatives of the Communist Party Valery Rashkin and Sergei Obukhov sent an appeal to the Russian president, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Defence chapter. Earlier, Reuters published information that the United States in May, intends to place missile launchers in south-east Turkey. “It is worth noting that the performance characteristics of said weapons, according to available data allow, among other things, use missiles with a range of up to 500 km Thus, a potential threat to Russian allies in the CSTO (primarily Armenian).” – It said in the appeal of deputies. The parliamentarians stressed that in order to protect the interests of Russia and CSTO allies is necessary to adopt comparable measures in response to the offensive actions of the US.
“First of all, we are talking about the deployment of Russian launchers similar or even greater range in Cuba. In addition, sees more more appropriate asymmetric answer to Washington in the form of restoration of Lourdes SIGINT Station “, – the statement reads. According to deputies, it was a tough response to the US action USSR during the Cuban missile crisis, to promote the prompt resolution of conflict through mutual concessions. A closure of the Russian base in Lourdes in 2002 under the pretext of budget savings was hasty and unjustified.”

I would like to see that. But I doubt the Cubans would agree today (maybe on the Lourdes base they would). Unless there was a pledge by Russia (with China) for massive economic aid to rebuild their economy. There would be nothing gained for them ,by angering the US unless they got a big reward for it.Making a possible target out of themselves for nothing would be foolish. And speaking of utter foolishness. If this story at RT is true. Moscow gets the award for that. Their handling of the Ukrainian coup crisis and its aftermath,gave them the head start for that prize. But this, if true,clinches them the prize:
“Ex-Ukraine pilot Savchenko extradition procedure begins – lawyers (RT)
“The procedure to extradite Nadezhda Savchenko, the former Ukrainian pilot jailed in Russia, has begun and may take up to two months, RIA Novosti quoted her lawyer Mark Feygin as saying on Thursday. He added that Savchenko had started to fill documents needed for extradition to Ukraine. Savchenko, 34, was sentenced in late March to a 22-year jail term in Russia for her part in killing Russian journalists in eastern Ukraine.”
After month, after month, of articles and comments on here and other sites about her being “finally” brought to justice for her crimes. And about how great it was of Russia not to knell to the West and free her. If that RT story is correct. Then we all wasted our time praising Russia for that. And have egg all over our faces. They decided to knell anyway.So much for bringing war criminals to justice for killing Russians. That “foolish “idea needs to never be spoken of again. Next time,and every time, the NAF catches some of these junta war criminals.They should just shoot them outright. Turning them over to Russia for a trial is a horrible idea.A month or so after the trial they’ll end up in Kiev making anti-Russian speeches. Or killing more people in Donbass. Only a one way trip to the “boneyard” will prevent that.And should have been the only policy for dealing with them since day one.
Always remember that Putin & Russia will always be patient and pragmatic and do what’s best for Russia. There are no black & whites, only shades of grey, when it comes to geopolitics..
Speculation:
It may just be that the ‘profile’ of Savchenko was raised in order that the value would equal a far larger number of exchanges in Donbas’s and Russia’s favour. There must be many other ‘Savchenkos’ out there that we don’t hear about.
Even after an exchange, nothing of course precludes, after a decent time interval, an ‘accident’ in Ukraine. If I was Savchenko -perish the thought- I’d be finding another country and another name and looking over my shoulder.
I don’t see it that way. I see it as the influence of the pro-friendship with the West,and make deals with Ukrainian billionaire oligarchs,5th columnists coming to the front.Certainly a deal could (possibly) be made to exchange prisoners. But I’d recall Stalin’s thinking when offered the exchange of his own son for high-ranking nazi prisoners. Giving the enemies of Russia a propaganda “bonanza” like Savchenko is a horrible move to make.I see her on every Western propaganda outlet throughout the World, as soon as released. Being praised as a “victory over Russian aggression”.And taking her seat in the Rada to joyous cheers from the fascist elements. As a symbol of “Ukrainian Slava” over Russia.Her having an “accident” (maybe,possibly,could be,etc) sometime in the future would do nothing to negate the damage done from her release.But even more important than all that. Is the glimpse we are seeing of the power in Russia of the traitor class. Instead of, as we’ve been hearing, that they are weakening and on the verge of a purge. I’m seeing the opposite of that. While among the populace they are despised and small in number. Among the elite,top levels of society,and in the government classes. They appear to be holding their power. And possibly even strengthening it.There are small signs about that. I see this event as another of those signs. I’m afraid historical memory is failing inside Russia. In the times Russia has been “successfully” attacked. The Mongol defeat,and the Time of Troubles. The reasons for those defeats can be boiled down to one big one. Disunity of the ruling elites. Rus was split into small regional states quarreling with each other.And not able to make a united front against the Mongols. And the quarreling elites in rivalry with each other during the Time of Troubles left them open to a takeover by the Poles. Until Russians united and freed themselves. During the time of Napoleons invasion,and against Hitler they were united.And defeated those invasions. Today the Rus lands are again split apart. And the traitor 5th column has a great hold in the Rus states. Unless they overcome those problems I fear for the future after Hillary Clinton gains power in the US. I’d say Russia has until November 2016,or at most the first half of 2017,to get their problems with their traitors solved. After that time they will face a massive assault of every dirty trick and hybrid warfare that the US can devise.Having traitors with so much power in place, its an open question whether they can survive this time.
As a side note concerning human psychology : Countries throughout their histories seem to take on a personality of their own. And you see it more plainly in the type of leaders they are drawn to. That they feel an affinity for. With all their differences in many ways. I’ve noticed that Germans and Russians both have the type of leader they admire most, in common. The strong confident leader. I’ve found that by examining peoples social media you can find out a lot about a persons personality and thinking (once you dismiss the superficial BS ). VK is a gold mine for that type of research,more so than FB. One of the most common items found on Russian and pro-Russian Ukrainian (actually many Ukrainian pages,pro-Russian or not) pages are pictures,quotes,of Tsar Alexander III. Not Peter I,Alexander I,or even Alexander II (the Tsar Liberator). So what conclusion can come from that. The others were known as “Westerners”,and Alexander III was thought of as a Slavcist. A very strong leader that took no insults from the West. That I believe is a key element to Putin’s popularity inside Russia (the same pages usually also have items about him on them.Even those that don’t like him.).He is seen by most people as a strong leader cut in the Alexander III mold (that may also account for much of Stalin’s popularity today. Also seen as a strong leader,in that mold.).
@ Uncle Bob:
“I don’t see it that way. I see it as the influence of the pro-friendship with the West, and make deals with Ukrainian billionaire oligarchs, 5th columnists coming to the front [..]”
As much I wish to view this in a better more positive light, I can’t escape the fact that my gut feeling agrees with you.
“Giving the enemies of Russia a propaganda “bonanza” like Savchenko is a horrible move to make. [..]”
Yup, an par with the early release of Khodorkovsky, on compassionate grounds, non the less, all because his mommy died. I wonder how many non-violent Russian convicts get the same considerations for early release if a close relative dies (?). Bad move that will come to bite either Putin, or Russia, or both in ass when/if the Hegemon deems it right to play that card if they need to.
“I see her on every Western propaganda outlet throughout the World, as soon as released. Being praised as a “victory over Russian aggression” + “Her having an “accident” [..] sometime in the future would do nothing to negate the damage done from her release”
Exactly! Her story faded from western mainstream media months ago. Just like a week is an eternity in politics, same goes for media cycles. News today, forgotten tomorrow.
Why revive this zombie-issue when it was more or less forgotten, and why is Russia bringing this kind of attention upon themselves for no decipherable reason? It’s madness!
“But even more important than all that. Is the glimpse we are seeing of the power in Russia of the traitor class. Instead of, as we’ve been hearing, that they are weakening and on the verge of a purge. I’m seeing the opposite of that.”
Sadly, that seems to be the case. At least from afar. It looks as if the ‘good side’ is being arm-wrestled into making all the “compromises” while I don’t see anything similar going on in the other direction, only token gestures that can be reneged at any time :/

This maybe a tad OT, but I didn’t like the way Putin blew a fuse on the failed Cosmodrome launch. Fair enough… there’s a lot of money riding on this Cosmodrome project, plus the economic commitments that must be fulfilled by actually flying those things into space, successfully and in time.
On the one hand; I actually enjoyed seeing him act like his good-old assertive self, but on the other… why he’s not equally, or at least similarly ‘gutsy’ when Russia’s name is dragged through the mud by the West and their lapdog media?
After failed launch, Putin demands answers on billion-dollar spaceport negligence

-TL2Q
An interesting story on RT about three members of Merkels party (the CDU) having on a trip to Latvia (geez,where else better for that,unless Ukraine) in 2005 made a video praising the nazis and holding up nazi memorabilia (the video is shown). Today they are committed pro-Israelis the story says.I wonder how they got the memorabilia. I thought it was illegal in Germany to have things like that with the swastika on it.Am I wrong about that? Also interesting that one of them has a Polish name. And “oh what a name” it is,Brzezinski .

Re: Gayane Chichakyan: It is so painful watching John Cirby of State Department infamy interact with her. I am so embarrassed for him. The other day when he was being slammed by another correspondent as he denied that Obama ever said there would be no boots on the ground in Syria, she actually threw him a lifeline with a wonderfully clearly phrased sentence. The relief on his face was painful indeed as he gave her a backhanded compliment and went for the opening.–“That was actually for once a very good question.” What a snotty, ill bred comment. And what a classy, kind lady.
The Russian Defense Ministry has confirmed that the body of Alexander Prokhorneko, killed during the Palmyra liberation, was returned to Russia.
“It was a matter of honor for the Defense Ministry to return the body of First Lieutenant Alexander Prokhorenko, Hero of the Russian Federation, from the hands of terrorists,” the Ministry said in a statement adding that the officer died while carrying out a military task in Syria.
“The fallen officer’s body was brought to Moscow after special actions involving the representatives of the Syrian government and Kurdish self-defense forces”, the statement read.
Alexander Prokhorenko was killed during the military operation to liberate the ancient city of Palmyra from Daesh terrorists as he was providing intelligence and coordinating Russian planes to attack targets in the city. During the operation, Prokhorenko’s position was discovered and he was surrounded by terrorists. To avoid being captured, possibly tortured and interrogated, the 25-year-old man called an airstrike on his own position.
The defense ministry’s medical department completed the identification of the body.

RE: No war crimes and “counseling” as punishment per the Pentagon. At least they are replacing the hospital maybe. My GPS takes me flawlessly to any Starbucks in the Universe and these guys did not know they were hitting a hospital? hello? Red Crescent and MSF painted on the sides and roof? Some things are “oops” but others are not—30 minutes of dumping Napalm like substances on a location does not qualify as “oops” or “mistakes were made” shrug, shrug or ” “Oh well, stuff happens”.
And yesterday that pitiful PR attempt of ” well, the Ruskies hit hospitals, too”. Even my gullible non political friends saw through that one when they called me up and asked what was going on in Aleppo besides the Beast trying to open the gates of Hell.
