For those news hounds who want an update and overview on the plays in north and west Syria, I recommend Elijah J. Magnier’s latest piece. I don’t always agree with his take but this one is comprehensive, very clear, and nails the situation completely:
Aleppo prepares for a major battle and the Kurds in Syria are attracting everybody’s animosity.
Magnier perfectly explains Turkey’s role, all the Kurds, the US, Russia, Iran, Syria and even ISIS, the least powerful of all forces in the game right now. If the situation strikes you as very complex and rapidly shifting, it’s because that’s what it is. Magnier makes this great observation I can’t help but share:
~~
Also, if the Hamadan situation troubles you, Joachin Flores has a good take on it at Fort Russ: Deciphering the ‘Russian Withdrawal’ from Hamadan
Working link to FortRuss about Hamadan situation:

“Now you see us, now you don’t.”
Where will Russian military forces unexpectedly next appear out of nowhere, do their work, then disappear again? Very Judo sort of tactics Russia is using to run circles around the lumbering zionazis and their self enforced mediocrity.
Re: “… and destroyed the dream of Erdogan who now finds that casting his lot with Assad is less painful than having a Kurdish state on his borders.” (1st link)
It seems clear now that the coup against Erdogan (and his support structures) was most likely an attempt by the usual suspects to weaken and confuse the Turks (as a national entity) as part of a stratagem to buy time in the ensuing stupefying chaos and deliver an emergent Kurdistan state(of affairs) as facts on the ground before either Turkey, Iran or Syria could object of react.
A kind of reverse mirror image of the Ukrainian break away states model — i.e., where Kurdistan is equivalent to Donbass etc and the US gets to play the role of Russia.
No wonder Erdogan woke up suddenly after Russian whispers and like Paul on the road to Damascus, had his epiphany on the flight to Ankara. If he keeps off the KoolAid then he may have a chance to join the emerging SCO circle and even benefit from China’s latest moves to prepared for the reconstruction phase in the Syria 2.0.
Indeed, if “Assad Must Go …” is still of any relevance, then it is that he must now go “… to Delhi”.
Ok then, let us Putin!
There is a russian language documentary ’bout the boss, and the moments I came up from it was largely about three or four episodes from about the carrier choices of our man. It is about 3 hours long…
The one that I bring up was about the reaction of the staff after 9/11
Them russkies were conducting a large nuke stanby tests right next to the ….khmmmm….events….saiz the boss, but than he and his next-to decided to postpone the $hit for in case bush junior got jumpy…
Next came a request for help in relocating some Christians In Action & Rangers through Russfed territory to the stans…
…then the the same Cee Iou Again sent message next day, through official channels, that the operations against Russians in the northern Causasus were going on as usual. No change, same jokers.
@ that point Me would have been slightly annoyed.
The boss carries his partners well.
Hope he remembers life’s little moquitoes…
Mosquitos. Yep.
Cafe De Flores is probably the name of this Cafe. I don’t know if there is pizza or some pie, but anyway, I shall make a try :
Bull pie, or Pizza ?
The following story is not something like horror
Yes, the Russians have a good sense of humor
I saw it on RT, it was real and very entertaining
Using such goodies for their laugh and training
Just imagine, the folks were throwing with pies
Instead of eating them ?, I’m not telling you lies.
It looks like pizza, but with other smell and color,
And easily recognized even by Lord Chancellor
Gathered with dogs, lackeys, hunting after foxes
Looking at parade, with other lords and horses
Following their old masters, following their track
Leaving on the street green pies from their back.
But the Russians, were using cow pies instead
Not quite fresh, and, throwing it over their head
Like in the army, by training, trowing a grenade
But this time, the fuse, from cow manure made
After such a story, guess what I’m gonna buy ?
What else then, a good hot and fresh pizza pie
Eating it with satisfaction, playing with thoughts
What if bull pie, as pizza, was given to Lords ?
ioan, you hit the veritable bull’s eye
with your volley of bull and cow pies.
And with all others seemingly departed,
(Lines and rhymes like old vapors farted,
Pungency and pith now a memory fading….
The Deadly Poets Society, with Time degrading?)
Nyet! For Valiant Iaon holds down the fort,
A moral legislator holding poetic court.
Your mind’s eye detects the “S” occulted,
And pompous puffery that should be insulted.
I admit I’ve been a stealthy freeloader
Tasting this, sipping that, in chaotic order.
Moving and travelling is my lame excuse,
But why try to explain? For it’s no use!
Sips and draughts of ambrosia imbibed,
And missing Leary love streams unbribed.
How to pay the tab of my mounting debt?
Flowers? That’s sex! We must ever beget!
Bro
Hello, my brother in arms, welcome back to the battlefield. I have missed you and I miss Dennis Leary as well but tried to keep the place warm for the Living Poets Society. I don’t know if you saw it, but Straight-Bat has come up with a very good short poem. I’m very proud for him. You don’t have to excuse yourself, as you see and feel, the time is running like a cattle in the Mongolian steppe, leaving behind clouds of dust. But, seriously, I began to have fears, as both of you live in California, and the news with the huge fire on that area made me have nasty thoughts. Hope you and your family have a good time in the new house in the new place. Well, if everything is okay, then you can help me with your poems and with your comments the blog. By the way, I miss Martin also, even more just recently, when we had here a large discussion over the communism, maybe you had the time to take a look. The discussion was released after the Mod has chosen a very good comment by Uncle Bob. Look forward for your action, in the right direction, for our satisfaction.
Martin, with my help over a long time, had come to realise that there is zero ideological difference between the West & East – his learning here is complete although his comments I also miss.
Bro considers the Apple factory in China (for example) as non exploitative but rather a method for hundreds of millions to pull themselves out of poverty – for that opinion there is zero excuse and I will never miss his lack of comment.
Have courage, Timid Anonymous!
Choose a number, don’t be timorous,
To distinguish yourself from mutitudinous
Anonymice squeaking in inchoate chorus.
BTW your Chinese factory construction is simply daft,
What you conjure in your own brain is of rigor bereft.
Martin? I like him, and Texas too.
But to say YOU taught him?
OMG, man, your a legend in your own mind!
Come down to solid earth,
Plant your feet on the ground.
Before you construct castles in thin air,
Make sure your foundation is sound.
Are you the dude that described as “too scary” the truth,
And I recommended you embrace your chains til you tire
Of them? “Wherefore art the facts? They are here, forsooth.”:
“Seek help!”, I repeat, and emerge from your mental muck and mire.
Best of luck with that! I’m pulling for you……
Now, if you don’t mind, I have a poem to transcribe, in memory of Martin and my desire to not lose him or men and women like him, in answer to Uncle Bob’s post of the Texas video………..
“How many Chinese may have taken the hard road of a few short years of such work provided by your friends at Apple to climb out of poverty? About half a billion so far.”
/china-and-russia-prepare-for-a-hot-war-with-eurangloland/comment-page-1/#comment-236398
Legend?
Only if you insist.
And your point, besides selling anti-China and anti-Russia here behind your self-styled “communist solidarity” in loserdom commiseration?
If it makes you feel any better I got rid of my I-Phone.
I want a tool for calling and texting, not something my boys will run off and play with.
That should warm the cockels of your anti-capitalist, anti-Apple heart, and make you feel better.
Anything else I can do to help?
BTW Steve Jobs fits in beautifully with my parental abandonment theme.
His father (who abandoned him at birth…..big financial blunder…maybe the biggest ever….) reached out and tried to connect with his son before Steve’s death. Steve basically told him to go f himself. Hence the dearth of spirit and maniacal corporate control paradigm that still infuses Apple.
Well, for a few more days I can spare 7 am to 9 am for Keyboard Commando duty…..but it’s already 10:05. Oooops! I am working for myself, and realistically, I should be fired!
But I savored the country pie down under
(Conceptually, mind you, this is no typo blunder…)
And now must answer remember Martin in Holy Verse before returning to the Capitalist rat race.
But link me to the communist discussion if you could,
My wife was a card carrying one, and one of my vows
Is to fully know my mate, as yet not fully understood.
And thanks for the BS imagery and pies made by cows!
“Back in the USSR” is the title of that thread.
I’ll look it up, tomorrow. Thanks, ioan. Gotta run. I owe, I owe.
Thanks for the mirth ioan and bro
Cow pat throwing is not as silly as it sounds.
Each year at Stoud (NSW) they do the rounds
Ladies bring your rolling pin
And give it a fling
Aim for the gent at the end of the ring
Men pick your dry pat
Cow or bull and make it go splat
But cling onto your akubra hat
Then all the old coots
Will toss smelly gum boots
All in good fun
All in good cheer
Come back next year
Very good Babushka, I have to say, With your poem, you make my day, and thanks for that, a lot, the pie in this Cafe is hot.
so clever…ioan!
from the twitter of Elijah J. Magnier:
“With the mediation of #Russia, a Cease-fire between #YPG and #SAA concluded. No forces in the city, only police units. #Syria.”

sounds good…
I gotta admit, GH Eliason’s reply started me thinking a bit. And rdrjames raised the subject of Ohio and Michigan, which made me wonder some more.
About Ketchum. And other similar agencies. For simplicity, I’ll just lump them all under ‘Ketchum’.
About how the Ukrainian Congress of Canada super-slickety lobbying piece looked so much like Monsanto’s GMO stuff (from what I’ve seen exposed on the web), and like the Conservative party attack ads. (Not to be partisan, but if you’re going to use the same service, it’s not ‘playing party politics’ to bring it up.)
In my mind, I’m envisioning the files at Ketchum, with all the agency dockets, and seeing paper files labeled for all these projects. It just blows my mind, thinking about it.
And I wonder what the label is for the docket for the project to deliver the Great Lakes to Israel/Wall Street. I imagine there would be a really big bonus for that account, and a promotion! I wonder if Ketchum was involved in the proposed sale of the Toronto airport to Israel, and did that sale ever go through? R.I.P. Jack Layton and Rob Ford. For those who are curious, compare the available info on Jack Layton’s death with Hugo Chavez’s death.
There must be a concept, a conceptual sketch, somewhere in Ketchum for the next version of color revolutionary to hit our streets. I’ve commonly referred to these “revolutionary concepts in action” as losers and pinheads. I’ve decided to stop that because at one time, it was commonly thought that drug addicts, alcoholics, survivors of trauma, and others, were all lost causes. And it wasn’t true. So I’m going to try and see these are self-abandoning revolutionary concepts in the same light.
Ketchum. What a thought.
Ecuadorian Embassy Hits Out At Scotland Yard For Slow Response To Intruder
http://sputniknews.com/europe/20160823/1044556138/ecuador-embassy-assange-wikileaks.html
“Wikileaks have since tweeted that the London’s Metropolitan Police Service took two hours to respond to reports of an intruder at the Embassy, “despite 24h covert op & police station 2 mins walk away.”
”The Ecuadorian Government therefore expressed its concern about the inadequate response by the British authorities, who only arrived at the embassy more than two hours after the incident took place.”
Notice how the police in just about all of the israeli colonies act in similar corrupt ways.
Any comment from Saker?: ‘The Americans have rolled up their gear and quit Ukraine, most likely because there is an agreement with Moscow on this “exchange”, according to which the US will give [Russia] the Ukraine, and [Russia] will … not be recruiting more of their future presidents (given what Trump said recently about former CIA Director Michael Morell) and [Russia] will not break open the secrets of the Democratic Party’s servers (as Clinton said).’ – http://www.fort-russ.com/2016/08/kievs-war-bluff-expert-opinion-round-up.html
This sounds more like a joke, don’t you think ? Where are we going, Fort-Russ ?
The BREXIT was the first stepping stone towards freedom, prosperity and a progression in mankind but it’s a long journey with many struggles to achieve the positive end goal. Britain needs to have a true government that is truly independent away from the Jewish Talmudic Templar banking influence.
Britain and Russia need a Modern Monetary Theory, Larouchian, national credit system or a currency system where money is borrowed from the State based on projected returns from the investment over 100 years, that has backing, and which is issued by the Central Bank or Treasury outside of a central ‘war’ bank such as the Venetian created Bank of England. All current central ‘war’ banks serve the Rothschild family (guardian of the Vatican treasury worth 500 Trillion Dollars, including 70% of all International Companies, 70% of World Banks and 100% of all Central Banks, and who are workers for the trillionaire crowned heads of Europe and the American Oligarchs like the Rockefellers who are just another branch of the Rothschild family) and the New Venice British Empire.
A current central bank could easily be converted to a bank which works for the nation and its people but in the current form these banks are instead designed to work against the nation and its people in order to become their slave-master through the use of totally fixed corrupt exchange rates, Libor rates, corrupt gold prices, corrupt oil prices, debt and debt instruments which end up replacing money and true value with a complete farce. You might like to watch the movie called ‘The International’ directed by Tom Tykwer as it’ll give you a clearer idea of what these banks are truly about and how they work with a look towards joining the BRICS and maybe replacing Brazil as the ‘B’ right at the front of the title next to Russia.
As it stands right now New Venice and Prince Philip are doing everything in their power to destroy both Brazil and South Africa by use of hybrid war. If Britain doesn’t do as I’ve suggested then it’s destined to fail. If one moves away from the Zeusian New World Order and over into the Promethean New World Economic Order then there’s absolutely no need to worry about a Bank pull out or lack of investment. If one stays in the Zeusian system and upsets the Banks then if they desert the land you’ll end up suffering more because they control all the wealth and corporations that make up the slave economy of most nations of the world.
Once the New World Economic Order is in place then we have a viable alternative this time built on co-operation and a win-win for all utilizing development and the increasing of the energy flux density. Why do you think the Banks bought about the 2008 collapse? It was to help consolidate their banking and corporate power by bankrupting small businesses and even some larger companies then the Oligarchs bought them all up for pennies in the pound using their private equity firms like Warburg Pincus. Who owns Warburg Pincus? The Venetian Del Banco family known to most as the Warburg family who also part own along with the Rothschild family the private bank known as the Federal Reserve over in the United States.
Please don’t be fooled that The Fed has been sold on to other players because it hasn’t. The Federal Reserve was set up in a way where the original players could never be bought out or removed and thus they still to this very day control this private bank.
The Warburg family have also taken control of much of the Internet whilst ruining the service as they’ve taken it over. You’ll find it very hard to find a U.S. Internet service provider who’s not owned by the Warburg family utilizing the Endurance International Group. The Rockefeller United Nations take over the Internet October 1sr 2016 under TPP. The control over the Internet allows for easy access to shutting down anti-Zionist information and the truth on the Zio serpent people of psychosis aka the Synagogue of Satan. The Warburg family also like to pimp out DWP workfare slavery in their stores such as Poundland owned by Warburg Pincus all of which were bought for pennies on the pound.
I’m wondering if there will even be a “Brexit” at all. This is 2016,I’ve seen articles that said they “might” get it started by 2019.That means there would be 3 years for the public to be propagandized.And to just forget that it even matters that they voted on it.In this modern age the “people” have short term memories. Many events can come up in a three year period. Look at how the World,and peoples thinking as changed since the “maidan” coup,as an example.I’m thinking that the political leaders think they can stall the leaving until people don’t even think it matters anymore. Then they can say,”well,so long has gone by now.The vote can’t be relevant anymore.Its old news”. And decide after the propaganda has dulled peoples memory to let Parliament vote on it. And we know how that vote would come out.The West is a”master” at stalling for time on issues they think they might lose. Only bringing them back up when they think they have a win. Of course my thinking might be wrong on this. But we’ll see if they announce the start of leaving before the end of the year. If they don’t ,I think I’m going to be right.
Hello Uncle Bob 1
Like you, am afraid that Brexit might never amount to anything more tangible than a word.
This image is illustrative of what I have in mind:

@ Uncle Bob
In the midst of all that excitement when the Brexit referendum results were announced, I raised a sombre reflection on the nature of the British political establishment and its capacity for skulduggery in a grand scale. My prediction was that the result was a pathetic damp squib.
Most people who know something about the English constitutional law tradition are or should be aware that sovereignty resides in the House of Commons alone (the Lords have some residual power but that is of no consequence in this case). Therefore, considering that referendums are not accorded any legal relevance in the British Constitution (and don’t look for a Section or Article about it because there is not a written one), and a promise by the PM has no value whatsoever, it means that only Parliament has the power to decide on Brexit, particularly if one remembers that the treats of accession to the EEC/EU required acts of Parliament to be valid.
The whole Brexit charade was a monumental trick perpetrated by Cameron in his attempt, I believe, to thwart the emergence of the UKips as a threat to the Cons’ constituency. The end result is yet to be played out via the judicial system – if not outright by Parliament’s initiative. My bet is that Brexit will never happen because, simply, sovereignty in the Britain is not in the people; it’s in the Parliament (the political class and ruling elite) and we all know where their interests are.

The Brexit Strawman..
What about Modern Monetary Theory?
Britain and Russia need a Hudson Modern Monetary Theory, Larouche national credit system or a currency system where money is borrowed from the State based on projected returns from the investment over 100 years, that has backing, and which is issued by the Central Bank or Treasury outside of a central ‘war’ bank such as the Venetian created Bank of England. All current central ‘war’ banks serve the Rothschild family (guardian of the Vatican treasury worth 500 Trillion Dollars, including 70% of all International Companies, 70% of World Banks and 100% of all Central Banks, and who are workers for the trillionaire crowned heads of Europe and the American Oligarchs like the Rockefellers who are just another branch of the Rothschild family) and the New Venice British Empire.
The Jewish Talmudic Templar banking influence?
A current central bank could easily be converted to a bank which works for the nation and its people but in the current form these banks are instead designed to work against the nation and its people in order to become their slave-master through the use of totally fixed corrupt exchange rates, Libor rates, corrupt gold prices, corrupt oil prices, debt and debt instruments which end up replacing money and true value with a complete farce.

Interesting what you say and very convincing. It looks indeed as the “Brexit” has been put on ice, playing the game as if the Brits were now out, in the same time being “encore” in. The postponing of the date till 2019 is a clear sign for what you say. But what will they want to achieve ? are they waiting for something to happen ? Interesting the recent meeting of Merkel, Holland and Renzi in Italy, on a military ship. The Brit Chancellor has not been invited. What they were talking about, and why the British Chancellor was not there ? Maybe we’ll get served with a special pie and lately we will not be thankful for that…
Addendum to this all, I was reminded just today of that JAN/1988 Economist plutocrat rag cover (guess who owns that!) proudly proclaiming “Get ready for a world currency by 2018”.
You can find lotsa pics of it all over with a search.
http://en.ria.ru/europe/20160824/1044575832/after-brexit-eu-doomed.html
Speaking on Radio Sputnik’s Loud & Clear program, Pilger declared that Brexit is the last nail in the coffin of the EU. “It’s very hard to find anyone in Europe who supports” the bloc, he said, referring to surveys conducted across the EU in the aftermath of the UK referendum.
“With democracy being sidelined in so many institutions in Brussels, I think many people in Europe will be feeling that it is time for their countries do what Britain did.”
Interesting rumours of Russia-Yemen links which if correct places added strategic intrigue and significance to China’s little plot in Djibouti. It’s starting to look like a SCO noose or cauldon is forming and the only ones left clawing at the cliff face as they slink off into ME history are the US, its EU Poodles and the obnoxious rotting Saudi Wahhabi regime. As for the Zionist entity in Occupied Palestine, they are smart enough to equally whore for Russia as they are for the USA. Clients are clients; and money is money. Why shouldn’t mainly Russian-orientated Jews on extended holiday smile from ear-to-ear as Uncle Sam pays their board and lodgings thinking?

http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/new-abedin-emails-reveal-hillary-clinton-state-department-gave-special-access-top-clinton-foundation-donors/
Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released 725 pages of new State Department documents, including previously unreleased email exchanges in which former Hillary Clinton’s top aide Huma Abedin provided influential Clinton Foundation donors special, expedited access to the secretary of state. In many instances, the preferential treatment provided to donors was at the specific request of Clinton Foundation executive Douglas Band.
The new documents included 20 Hillary Clinton email exchanges not previously turned over to the State Department, bringing the known total to date to 191 of new Clinton emails (not part of the 55,000 pages of emails that Clinton turned over to the State Department). These records further appear to contradict statements by Clinton that, “as far as she knew,” all of her government emails were turned over to the State Department.
It seems that since the West can’t face the “bear” and win. The hyena’s have decided to attack the bears “cub” instead. The CAS has rejected the appeal of Russia’s Paraoympians to compete in Rio.A most cruel and disgusting thing to do to people already handicapped by life.But the human trash that make up the Western leaders got their “victory”. As I said in other posts,this is “one” thing worth it for Russia to fight back on. Withdraw from that sports organization and form an independent one. This isn’t the main Olympic organization which is prestigious to belong to. This one is smaller. And the chances of success in forming a new organization that attracts other nations is very high. Now when it can be acclaimed as a righteous act is the time to do it. At least Russia today cut off the funds they pay to WADA (yes,you may be thinking “wht” were they “still” doing funding a Russophobic organization to start with).late, but still a good move.
https://www.rt.com/sport/356863-paralympic-russia-reaction-rio/
As a follow up. The decent Paralympic Committee of Belarus said they might carry the Russian flag at the games as well as their flag.But the human trash in the Western controlled IPC has threatened to sanction them if they do that:
” Today
21:13 GMT
Intl Paralympic Committee could sanction Belarus team for carrying Russian flag at Rio Games
If Belarusian athletes or the Belarus Paralympic Committee will really decide to carry their flag and the Russian flag during the opening ceremony at next month’s Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, it will be regarded as a “political protest” and, under the International Paralympic Committee rules, the IPC “will take action against the athletes and the National Paralympic Committee,” IPC spokesman Craig Spence told RT, referring to the earlier comments of the head of the Belarusian Paralympic Committee, Oleg Shepel, who said that Belarus athletes could carry Russian flag alongside with Belarusian one at the opening ceremony.”
They dared to claim that was a “political protest”. While their immoral banning of Russian handicapped athletes was exactly a political affair. Seriously if Russia doesn’t take an active response to these insults I will be disgusted.I don’t know which upsets me more. The West’s picking on Russian handicapped athletes,or Russia’s lack of an adequate defense of her citizens in this affair.
I see this as a premeditated attack against Russia, personally against V.V.Putin, having as a broader target the incoming Parliamentary elections. They will try to influence the Russian electorate by pointing the finger against Putin and his “corrupt administration who is to blame for the doping scandal”. However, that will may have a boomerang effect.
In my fantasy, ALL the Paralympic teams would carry the RF flag in solidarity with their Russian comrades.
Let’s see how many jobs will be left in the IPC when they sanction everyone…
Markin: SC wants to interview the President of WADA and the independent expert McLaren
Appropriate requests for legal assistance will be sent to the competent authorities of foreign States, said Markin
MOSCOW, August 23. /TASS/. The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation consider it necessary to interview the President of the world anti-doping Agency Craig reedy and independent expert Richard McLaren in connection with the investigation of a doping scandal. This was reported by the official representative of IC Vladimir Markin.
“To investigate the circumstances of the investigation it is necessary to interrogate the President of WADA Craig reedy and independent expert Richard McLaren, who prepared a report for the specified organization,” he said. In this regard, will be sent the appropriate inquiries about legal aid to competent bodies of foreign States, said Markin.
“Until now, the World anti-doping Agency has not provided concrete evidence of doping Russian athletes. Moreover, requests for legal assistance in Canada, USA and Switzerland, Russia’s Investigative Committee have not received any response,” he said.
As for the criminal case initiated on the publication in media about the use of Russian athletes doping, Markin has informed that SK Russia does not have yet evidence of the involvement of sports officials of Russia to the spread of illegal drugs among Russian athletes.”
He stressed that Grigory Rodchenkov, the head of RUSADA – one of the divisions WADA, was subordinated to administrative-only world anti-doping Agency. “Therefore, investigators have reason to believe that the command about the destruction of the doping tests he could get it from someone in the leadership of the world anti-doping Agency. And this version will be considered along with other”, – said Markin.
By the way, he continued, “in confirmation of this version says also that fact that you still have not presented concrete evidence of doping Russian athletes.”

“Russia has no right to speak at the Paralympic games in 2016 in Rio, so no one will carry the Russian flag at the opening ceremony. If the Belarusian athletes will carry the Russian flag during the opening ceremony, it will be treated as a political protest, and in relation to relevant athletes and/or national Paralympic Committee will adopt specific measures,” – said the press service of the radio station “Moscow speaking”.
Earlier Tuesday, the President of the Paralympic Committee of Belarus Oleg Shepel saidthat the Belarusian athletes at the opening ceremony of the Paralympic games in Rio de Janeiro, will carry the Belarusian and Russian flags.

Just had a thought reading one of the comments:
They pray in earnest to the wailing wall, I wonder if that has any connection to the corporate financiers located on Wall street of all names.
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2016/08/paul-craig-roberts/can-russia-survive-american-aggression/
Here’s an interesting analysis worth considering.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/brewing-collapse-of-the-western-monetary-system-german-government-warns-of-an-upcoming-catastrophe-tags-russia-as-an-enemy-nation/5542181
On a related note, against many Members of Parliament and several ministers, the German Bundeswehr (army) has declared Russia as an enemy nation. This is akin to a declaration of war. The head of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Russian State Duma, Alexei Puschkow, has posted the Twitter message:
‘The decision of the German government declaring Russia to be an enemy shows Merkel’s subservience to the Obama administration.’
it would not be surprising if some bold aggression – militarily, monetarily or both – by the West would rock the world. Indications to this effect are plentiful, other than the German appeal to her citizens to hoard food and money.
Could a fabricated incident, like a false flag event, in the Middle East trigger a Russia – US-NATO confrontation? For example, Syrian Government war planes a few days ago were bombing for the first time in the five-year Syrian ‘civil war’ Hasaka, a stronghold of the Kurdish YPG (People’s Protection Units), basically a group of mercenaries, supported and funded by the US and NATO. T
Hmm….connection methinks with german government advising or reminding populus to always have 10 days stocks of food water and cash?!!!!!!!

The fate of a general in Libya
A former CIA asset in Libya has fallen from grace with the US. Reports say Washington now considers Khalifa Haftar as a headache and someone who stands in the way of peace and unification in the North African country. A massive media campaign is under way in the US against the former army general, who is now called a renegade.
maybe they plan to expunge him with these… a little excessive, no?:

A great video by “Texas” in Donbass:
(VIDEO) Soul of Donbass: Texas explores “Orthodoxy and War”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjJaI_0LW8s
Thanks for the link, UB1.
Been missing Martin and that Texas video of orthodoxy and communism mixed was the perfect prompt to use some poetry to remember our friend from Soviet East Berlin, and touch a few of the many, many ironies still swirling around that politico/spiritual/psychic tornado from a couple of months back.
Holy Sonnet John Donne
WILT thou love God as He thee? then digest,
My soul, this wholesome meditation,
How God the Spirit, by angels waited on
In heaven, doth make His temple in thy breast.
The Father having begot a Son most blest, 5
And still begetting—for he ne’er begun—
Hath deign’d to choose thee by adoption,
Co-heir to His glory, and Sabbath’s endless rest.
And as a robb’d man, which by search doth find
His stolen stuff sold, must lose or buy it again, 10
The Sun of glory came down, and was slain,
Us whom He had made, and Satan stol’n, to unbind.
’Twas much, that man was made like God before,
But, that God should be made like man, much more.
Bro
Good poem, I hope Martin takes a try and digest it, after chowing it for a while. I have to add to your poem, if you don’t mind, that God has sent his Son – Jesus Christ – as The Son of Man. And that, to feel, to experience, to suffer, the joy and pain of his brothers, here down on Earth, by showing the example, by being killed for love…for his brothers and sisters.
Thanks, Ioan for your kind words and spiritual commentary. The last couplet of that Donne sonnet reverberates in my mind for decades, like a set of infinitely recursive mirrors.
Although I doubt it would cause Martin to think that much, in itself, because of his deep negative reaction to his Catholic father, whose Bible-thumping “truth” (probably accompanied by a great deal of hypocrisy, nonsense, and far from adequate love…………) his seething remarks revealed a clear loathing of.
I rather held out more hope in delving deeper into the realm of mathematics. But Martin, not comprehending my reference to biblical numerology (allegorical, not logical…) , stayed in what he knows of mathematics, and did not take up the invitation. And I don’t have the time to always answer in timely fashion and re-direct things that go off track.
And that left me and my intention unfinished, with his departure. Which to get back to Russia, may have something to do with what Dostoyevsky referred in his contention that “Two plus two do not always equal four.”
I hoped Martin would take me up on the most poetical mathematics that I know of: Godel’s Incompleteness Theorem and Georg Cantor’s Transfinite Numbers. These are the most clear mathematical portals to a grasp of the Creator that I know of. That’s where I wanted to go with Martin, but perhaps Oedipal rage overcame him, he smote the falcon cheek too often and far too rashly, and who knows if the Prodigal Son can or will make it home to the Vineyard?
On the subject of number and the divine, I conclude with another Yogi-ism that I consider pure poetry:
Yogi Berra went to his favorite pizzeria near Yankee Stadium and ordered a pizza. The waiter said, “How would you like your pizza sliced this time, Mr Berra, four slices or eight?
Yogi replied, “Oh, you’d better make it 4. I don’t think I could eat 8.”

I’m not really sure why this story hasn’t been more reported. Its really very “troublesome”. And should have been commented on by the Russian government. Its one thing to have non-elected leaders in a country insulting your President. But its another to have the US Vice President insulting an elected President and a public rebuking not given back to him. It seems the idiot Biden publicly called President Putin a “dictator” in a speech and was cheered for it. That type of insult needs to not be tolerated by the Russian government.I’m disappointed they seem to have let it pass. Doing that only encourages the US to continue with that manner of propaganda:

No information from CCTV cameras, no interviews of bystanders, railway staff or investigation ?
Is this for real? Anyone have more info?
I’m wondering how we are going to spin this Turkish aggression to sound less bad than it is. So much for Erdogan turning away from the US. His troops invaded Syria today during a visit from Biden.US bombers are flying in support of them. And Biden caved into Turkey’s demand that the Kurd forces must not cross the Euphrates river if they want to keep getting US aid.So maybe its time we remove the rose colored glasses. And accept the fact that Erdogan is still the tyrant we thought he was. And that while he probably does want better relations with Russia (pre-2015 better relations). He still is playing both sides. And the US must have offered him a bigger paycheck for now.The only “bright” side to this is the Kurds “might” wake up and see the US regime for the liars they are. And maybe start to be friendlier to Assad and Russia.But lets not hold our breathe on that either.Pretty much I don’t see any real bright side to a Turkish invasion of Syria.
re: Erdogan. Turkey and Erdogan. Does a tiger change its stripes?
The silence is thunderous from Moscow vis a vis the most recent proclamations of the US military in Syria. Equal silence, but this is the silence of the tomb, is from Washington DC and the hall of Congress where declarations of war are constitutionally mandated to be debated and voted upon. Next, will the silence-perhaps the most blessed silence-of the void be upon us?
Jarabul-us will confound-us.

(CNN)A US Navy official told CNN four Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps vessels conducted a “high-speed intercept” of the USS Nitze in waters near the Strait of Hormuz Tuesday, deeming the incident “unsafe and unprofessional.”
The official said two of the vessels slowed and turned away only after coming within 300 yards of the US guided-missile destroyer.
Re: for the sake of right and measure.
Of what measure and of what right are right and measure? Are they the right of measure for measure? God geometrises it is said, but does he measure – who can measure right and wrong – who is like God?
In Christ Death becomes Life. It means all things are possible and human freedom creates a potential for a realisation that is beyond time and space.
At the Edinburgh festival this year, the Moscow Pushkin Theatre’s production of Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure, in Russian, has been rapturously applauded as the definitive statement of contemporary Russian society, and of the ruthless regime of Putin.
Who measures the famous worlds mountain of hatred hurled at Mother Russia which one word of truth will outweigh?
Thanks for your profound words, we can meditate upon. The measure of hatred is greater than ever, many will understand and many will never.

RE: Apparent Turkish invasion in north of Syria
Canthama says:
August 24th, 2016 at 9:57 PM [Level 10 – Cesar]
Thuc, I believe this is part of a broader understanding between Russia-Iran-Turkey-Syria. The western MSM is trying to convey the US is behind it but my best guess is that the US is surprised with it. There will be fight between the turkish backed terrorists and SDF, there is already in few villages, the SDF is trying to race to the border to keep the turkish backed terrorists in a pocket, ugly battles will be fought.
In my humble opinion, the US and SDF were too bold, the new US military commander in Iraq is a arrogant bastard, he is the one that order the Kurds to attack Hasaka and to scramble jets to intercept SAAF over Hasaka city, he is trying to show power and what he brought down is certain defeat.
It is impossible to know the backstage, but one can clearly sense there is some sort of major bargain done between Russia-Iran-Turkey-Syria, Iran is having a high level meeting in turkey in few days and Syria is the subject.
It will be interesting to see whether western Aleppo battle will end soon, if a bargain was reached, Aleppo will be encircled and the terrorists inside will have to leave or die without help. Furthermore it seems the Kurds will have a much tougher life in Syria from now onwards, the Hasaka showdown will cost a lot.
As soon as thousands or SAA are relieved from Damascus (after west and east Ghouta are totally under control or most of it), then the soldiers will move to link Palmyra to Der ez Zor, ISIS is dying and speed is a must to re captured as much ground as possible, and Der ez Zor is vital for the future of Syria, besides, with a proper link and supplies, the SAA could move up to Hasaka in no time, or head to al Bukamal, but my best guess the Iraqi militia will move up the Euphrates and kick ISIS out from SE Der ez Zor, so maybe the Kurds will face the SAA soon enough in Hasaka Province, a hell of year end.

And to create chaos in the mind and spirit.
A stated aim of the US for some time has been the capture of Raqqa.
Judging by the way ISIS either vaporised or morphed into moderate terrorists helping the Turks capture Jarabulus, it seems the US aim of capturing Raqqa in the near future with – Turkish assistance to vaporise or convert ISIS headchoppers into moderate headchoppers – is quite feasible.

As to the history of US with China, besides what I have posted in Twitter today, the Chinese were never seen by the US as human beings.. The US was terrified of them. So they used them, hiding the plans to take China over, steal everything and empty her territory for only US use. The US railroad across the American continent was first.
China, have been left prostrate with millions dying of poverty , humiliation, foreign genocide, after Britain moved out needed enough work for millions to just eat, so the chance to build the railroad was heaven sent. US banned from speaking to each other as they worked with super human determination and innovations, they met and surmounted any challenges. There were many.
I think there needs to be translations from old Chinese of all the books written in China during those years. The US fear of these small superhuman men of a different colour and visages was so great, when the Golden Spike was hit into place by the US President, the Chinese were long scattered to places of safety from the deadly bands on US settlers joined to massacre every one of them.
Then gold was found in California and gold mine workers were needed, the Chinese were asked to come and do the worst work and came in droves, many stopping on the way in the sugar cane fields in Hawaii. Work there too in an inforced silence, not one Chinese woman or any woman allowed or death to the worker, it being too expensive to return them home. Not considered human either, USA did not care at all. Anyway the Chinese were still starving so much in China from what England had done to it, many were naked too, nothing on feet or heads either.
Now we come to WW2 and the Asians families who called themselves Japanese were grabbed from their homes and businesses as having evil plans to take over America, same as the Russian and Muslim US propaganda today. The Chinese very few…except in Hawaii.
By the 1950, very few Asians, especially Chinese, as Japan had been so US bombed it was an US slave state, were allowed over a few hundred a year. Maybe a few thousand, carefully checked. A straight line from the the cross country train building abuses..
By then China, in order to clothe and to feed her millions accepted Communism. After the brutal years of revolution horrors, the Chinese began to eat and be able to make their clothes and businesses, fervently Communist. For good reason, Western reasons, which have been eliminated for all Western history books deliberately. Savings, left over rules from when China was a vast, very wealthy and powerful, well educated Empire, were national reintroduced.
Britain had shredded Chinese culture with great pleasure as their God given right to do to . China, not a revenge prone culture, terribly poor from the British rape of it, everything about new China under Communism was being learned. But the 35% to 40% saving rate comes from the wiser years of Empire under strong Asian religions.China goes back over four thousand years.
Chinese culture and Russian culture compliment one another. War is not the cornerstone of identity as it is in the very young West. They are natural partners. Japan and India are thinking to join it.
Terrifying the genocidal West.
The Chinese empire should be in all Western schools to learn well, the language especially..
