I’m amazed that they are getting away with copying the business model yet paying no royalties to the purveyors of that time-honored all time champ of frauds, the pay-to-pray organized religions.
Every time I think of a way to visualize their weekly take, I mean rake, with absolutely SFA to show for cumulatively the tens of trillions taken in down the centuries, I think of the old Jerry Lewis Labor Day MD Telethon, where he’d return from break to light up the board with the latest total.
Survey says…!
George Orwell – Nineteen Eighty-Four is a dystopian novel by the English writer George Orwell, published in 1949. The story, which focuses on the life of Winston Smith, was Orwell’s vision of a totalitarian state which has absolute control over every action and thought of its people through propaganda, secrecy, constant surveillance, and harsh punishment. In some editions it is retitled 1984.
The object of waging a war is always to be in a better position in which to wage another war.
From the moment when the machine first made its appearance it was clear to all thinking people that the need for human drudgery, and therefore to a great extent human inequality, had disappeared. If the machine were used deliberately for that end, hunger, overwork, dirt, illiteracy, and disease could be eliminated within a few generations. And in fact, without being used for any such purpose, but by a sort of automatic process—by producing wealth which it was sometimes impossible not to distribute—the machine did raise the living standards of the average human being very greatly over a period of about fifty years at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries.
But it was also clear that an all-round increase in wealth threatened the destruction—indeed, in some sense was the destruction—of a hierarchical society.
In a world in which everyone worked short hours, had enough to eat, lived in a house with a bathroom and a refrigerator, and possessed a motor-car or even an aeroplane, the most obvious and perhaps the most important form of inequality would already have disappeared. If it once became general, wealth would confer no distinction.
In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance.
The problem was how to keep the wheels of industry turning without increasing the real wealth of the world. Goods must be produced, but they need not be distributed. And in practice the only way of achieving this was by continuous warfare.
The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labour. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent.
In principle the war effort is always so planned as to eat up any surplus that might exist after meeting the bare needs of the population. In practice the needs of the population are always underestimated, with the result being that there is a chronic shortage of half the necessities of life; but this is looked upon as an advantage. It is deliberate policy to keep even the favored groups somewhere near the brink of hardship, because a general state of scarcity increases the importance of small privileges and thus magnifies the distinction between one group and another.
War, it will be seen, not only accomplishes the necessary destruction, but accomplishes it in a psychologically acceptable way. In principle it would be quite simple to waste the surplus labour of the world by building temples and pyramids, by digging holes and filling them up again, or even by producing vast quantities of goods and then setting fire to them. But this would provide only the economic and not the emotional basis for a hierarchical society.
The empirical method of thought, on which all the scientific achievements of the past were founded, is opposed to the most fundamental principles of Ingsoc. And even technological progress only happens when its products can in some way be used for the diminution of human liberty.
The two aims of the Party are to conquer the whole surface of the earth and to extinguish once and for all the possibility of independent thought.
All rulers in all ages have tried to impose a false view of the world upon their followers.
War was a sure safeguard of sanity, and so far as the ruling classes were concerned it was probably the most important of all safeguards. While wars could be won or lost, no ruling class could be completely irresponsible. But when war becomes literally continuous, it also ceases to be dangerous. When war is continuous there is no such thing as military necessity. Technical progress can cease and the most palpable facts can be denied or disregarded.
Nothing is efficient in Oceania except the Thought Police.
War, it will be seen, is now a purely internal affair. In the past, the ruling groups of all countries, although they might recognize their common interest and therefore limit the destructiveness of war, did fight against one another, and the victor always plundered the vanquished. In our own day they are not fighting against one another at all. The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact. The very word “war”, therefore, has become misleading. It would probably be accurate to say that by becoming continuous war has ceased to exist.
A peace that was truly permanent would be the same as a permanent war. This—although the vast majority of Party members understand it only in a shallower sense—is the inner meaning of the Party slogan: War is Peace.
War is Peace
War is Peace and Peace is War
Should I cry, should I implore
As it is, I want no more
Neither Peace, nor the War
Many questions in the air
Answering at all, is fair ?
If it’s War or if it’s Peace
We will wait until release
From the Peace which looks like War
And from War which looks like Peace
War ! stay away, we don’t miss you
Peace ! very hard to get it through
But wait ! today is like yesterday ?
War and Peace keep their own way
Peace and War ?
Give us no more,
If the price to pay, is always the same
To Hell with you, who play this game !
Dear Anonymous, the last line is not referring to you.
this is very important statement from a truth teller called an Alt right by Killery who has millions of viewers each day in the USA. Alex Jones tells it like it is:

I was looking for some good weekend reading and googled Soros leaks/Open Society. Instead I stumbled upon the Soros Open Society report on Education for Roma minorities. I looked through it, and I couldn’t believe my eyes…
Here are some of Open Society’s recommendations on how to improve education for Roma children: (This was for the national education system in Serbia)
1. All schools shall accept all Roma students even those that have incomplete documentation.
2. Teachers must interview the child in their native language, (e.g Romani for Roma) regardless of the classroom language. If the teacher does not speak the child’s language, then the school shall request a translator from the government. (!)
3. Testing standards need to be adjusted in order to adapt to the underperforming Roma child.
4. Any assessment of children with motor or sensory disabilities shall be conducted in such a manner so the child can respond optimally to the test.
5. It shall no longer be possible to create special classes for underperforming children. Each teacher needs to provide support individually or in small groups.
6. Schools need to hire more Roma teaching assistants.
7. Schools need to allow “personal helpers” of Roma children into the classroom. (!)
These measures may well increase the % of Roma into the Serbian or any other country’s public education system, but at the expense of the quality of that education for everyone.
Interestingly, OPEN Society makes no mention of possibilities of music scholarships or music education for Roma.. (which is a typical strength within the Roma community)
Here is the original link:
https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/reports/roma-children-special-education-serbia. The report claims that it “makes concrete, constructive and specific recommendations—important not only for the government, but also for local self-governments, schools, civil society organizations, and experts, as well as for the international audience of researchers and policymakers.”
@ Serbian girl:
Sounds about right. This is happening all over Europe, not that you would hear about it because the MSM is not covering it, but yes, schools are being forced to accommodate, by adding translators (for example) for any and all foreign children from anywhere they hail from.
All at the expense of both; the taxpayers, and the native language-speaking children’s learning-time, who have to pause their lessons to allow the foreign children to understand what’s going on while the translator speaks to them.
I hear there are exceptions to this ‘model’ in some EU countries, like in Spain for instance. They have a no-nonsense approach to education, foreign children sit at the back of the class, and if they can’t speak the language, well…that’s not the school fault in their view. And that’s the correct view in my opinion.
Enough with this crap that certain countries must bend over backwards to help every single needy person that happens to land on their shores!
This nonsense needs to end! Like, yesterday! But as you wisely pointed out, there are big powerful interests – like Soros – behind these, on the surface, seemingly insane policies.
Only; they’re not insane policies at all, their aim is to rob taxpayers blind, put as many countries in as much public debt as they can (to pay for all these ‘displaced’ people, that to top it all off, won’t “integrate”), aaaaand also it’s all about dumbing down the children the natives produce in the process.
The dumbing down of the ‘western’ population is not a new thing either, it’s something that’s been happening all across the western world since the 70’s… or 80’s at least. It’s just that now, ‘they’ found a new excuse to get away with it: you have to be “patient” and/or compassionate with children who don’t understand the language.
It’s disgusting.
I hope you Serbian people retaliate against this globalist onslaught against your people, and your people’s future.
-TL2Q
“It’s disgusting?” No, it is far worse. the West led by the US intends to erase at least 4 billion humans as they begin to design the new world humans by fiddling with DNA, they plan (as did the Nazis)to create an Underclass who obeys only.
@Serbian Girl
The Soros education is not about lifting all boats, survival of the fittest, in harmony with
Darwin’s Theory of Evolution.
Much better to sink a few boats in a Cultural Evolution.
And Soros has plenty of company.

Really?
Sure that ‘example’ isn’t a hoax?
https://www.truthorfiction.com/smithsonian-admits-destroying-giant-human-skeletons/
There is plenty of evidence that Sorosians are using ‘philanthropy’ to further agendas inimical to human health, wealth and happiness – women being the main target, especially in the developing world.
No need for such specious analogies.
@ Eimar
Speaking of specious analogy, please consider,
“The Ancient Giants Who Ruled America: The Missing Skeletons
and The Great Smithsonian Cover-Up” … by Richard J. Dewhurst
No link.
And I would need more than one claim of cover-up to consider it credible.
I also think it highly unlikely such a group would only manifest in US archaeological digs: if evolutionary precursors to Homo sapiens, their remains would likely have been discovered in other regions too.
I’ve sometimes wondered if rumors of the Smithsonian-suppressed giants and the ape-like Sasquatch might have originated from the same source long ago.

I tried, but before posting replies, another cafe opened and my replies were left on the dusty, crummy coffee and cream stains of Cafe Last.
But here was for Ioan and Martin and those that can entertain the possibility of infinite incommensureables (Christ, communism, God, Science) all in their minds or hearts all at once. Like Texas. And those that can’t, just yet:

Bro
As I told you earlier, the time is running and together with, the Cafe. Nevertheless, I have enjoyed your reply left on the table in that last Cafe. As I hoped, you find yourself again, anew, with your specific style which I liked before, even if some folks, have another thoughts. I love the peace and not the war, as I said it well before, why to have some painful showers, instead to have a rain of flowers ?
You may have to be more balanced, not to pick up all the balls and not send them back in an emergency mode, thus trying not hurt somebody’s views and ego. I consider you to be smart enough to make your comments and your poems in such way. Many people will not change but I recommend everybody to make a try, before hitting the sky.
Nice! But I have to look at your Martin poem again, and better comprehend. Seemed a bit rough, on first reading, but maybe I misread. Or am becoming a big softie.
I tried to bounce back here (to play cat and mouse with Anonymouse, but a sturdy Finnish feline kept him at bay, and I am so grateful for the mice patrol relief!!) in the afternoon but fatigue from the last two months including two weeks of do-it myself painting and repairs in hurry up mode around a family and all their stuff caused body and brain to go into deep sleep all afternoon. And only half recover. Too complicated to farm it out to anyone else. 90% done. But two days of straight rest are required before tackling the remainder.
Enjoyed your offerings only at the end of my Saturday evening, when others are already commenting Sunday morning.
By the way, I will offer help from time to time,as unpaid editor, though the fearless approach you have as an English as second language poet has charm I would mess with only sparingly.
“Pride”, for example is the noun and “proud” is the adjective only, a cafe or two and a dozen poems back. Guten nacht!
Never mind, Martin and other germans will understand and thanks for your help offer regarding my english.
Just a few seconds ago, I wrote an answer to your comment on the last Cafe, but it has just simply went off “we discovered a duplicate of your comment” or something like this. Anyway, keep the line, and don’t be outraged against anybody, why to have painful shower, instead of rain of flowers ?
Putin’s Russia makes a difference.
Anonymous Western dolts do not.
Putin has a rock-solid mass base
Anonymous Western dolts have not.
Anonymous Western dolts revel in vainglory
Putin and Russia do not.
As for Marxism, its classical, ossified Western rendition — not least in the context of today’s world — comes across mostly as a quaint form of Liberal Western supremacist fantasies. In reality, it never was much different from the latter: Euro-chauvinist to boot and with a strong anti-Russian strain which has been readily passed on to its modern brand of squalor known as Cultural Marxism.
With regard to Russia and China, this is the crux of the matter:
The Oppressor Nations of the world exchange commodities with each other at roughly equal rates of Purchasing Power Parity whereas the Oppressed Nations exchange commodities that are undervalued with the Oppressor Nations. Russia and China are working hard to break up this relationship, which will free the world from the currency-regime of the Western imperialist countries, thereby threatening to kill the imperialist system completely. Russia and China are not hated by worthless Western Leftists for any other reason.
In view of the above, it’s amusing and comforting to be corroborated by the fact that the Russian and Chinese governments stir up more trouble to Western imperialism in half an hours’ time than what the entire Western Left would have accomplished in all its pathetic history.
Nussiminen,
you never did answer the question related to the set of figures 3rd from last here:
http://www.gks.ru/bgd/regl/b14_12/IssWWW.exe/stg/d01/07-01.htm
Because of that I wouldn’t say you are an Eastern dolt at all – just a “Nussiminen” Eastern dolt (in Finnish of course).

“And your point, besides selling anti-China and anti-Russia here behind your self-styled “communist solidarity” in loserdom commiseration?”
The point is simple:
a multi-polar world based in Capitalism is of no more benefit to the “ordinary man” than a uni-polar world based in Capitalism.
In fact, for the ordinary man, a multi-polar world is potentially much more dangerous when their rich Masters (of competing groups) decide to use the tools of nationalism (and religion) to set the “ordinary man” against his brother.
I’m not into bashing amorphous groups childishly referred to as “China” or “Russia” or “the West” – I am into bashing the organisation of society (aka Capitalism) by the rich for their own benefit.
Your prior comment re Steve Jobs father in terms of a “big financial blunder” still gives me the impression that you are very motivated by counting your money.
“self-styled “communist solidarity” in loserdom commiseration?”
What on earth does this garble of words refer to…
Bros? probably not.
A classic case of projection on your part, Anonymous, as you keep going around and around in circles to the same agrieved spot of fixation on haves and have nots. Of money!
Clearly Job’s father’s error was more spiritual than financial, but, predictably, you took the bait and went for the easy way out, instead of realizing from other commentary of mine that I clearly recognize the spiritual to be above the material, and even more so, above the fakery of the false religion of money—-Mon (One) Eye Incapable of In Sight.
Steve didn’t learn from his father’s error, and committed his own spiritual error: You don’t forgive people that keep smashing you in the face, but you do forgive them when they admit their error. That’s clear, but rather than be didactic about it, I left the expression of that to you. But you dropped the baton and fixated on the financial joke I made. Maybe the hand-off will go smoother next time.
I hope so. I’m pulling for you. Including to come out of the shadows and not get banned a second time.
As a transition to a system of greater justice multi-polarity certainly Is preferable to uni-polarity, for it offers some significant maneuvering room as opposed to None, which is the Empire’s objective. Yet, in your peevish insistence on perfection right now, you stubbornly discard the efforts of Putin and others to increase that maneuvering room, effectively acting as an agent of the slave masters, IMHO.
But at least we agree on Apple!
Will try to get back here and catch up in a few hours, but a quick scan of comments allowed me to at least spot yours.
“self-styled ‘communist solidarity’ in ‘loserdom commiseration’ ? What on earth does this garble refer to…”
It refers to the highly evident fact that Western Leftists keep veering forever between defeatism, utopianism, and Western imperial arrogance, their “message” boiling down to something like the following:
“We are Western ultra-super-duper-revolutionaries promoting freedom all along the line. However, as long as our Earth-shattering über-revolution doesn’t materialise, we’ll settle for Western imperialism”.
Putin and the Russian people have very little interest in, let alone any enthusiasm for Western Zio-gays and everything that goes with them.
As an aside, it is a pretty tantalizing thought experiment imagining Putin “seeing the light” and duly stepping down in favour of our proud little Anonymous over here. Care to guess what would most likely happen with Russia’s income disparities? Answer: They’d disappear on the spot since, by then, Western imperialism would finally be able to smash Russia to pieces, hence no more Western supremacists giving a hoot about the subject.
There is no hope for Russia as long as Anglo-American corporations own 20% of Russian media. The independent Russian central bank also works against Russia on behalf of western interests:

Question:
Does anyone know has Paul Craig Roberts ever been to Russia for any length of time and does he speak the language?
Paul Craig Roberts has a degree from university in Russian Studies.
& the MSM has been going all-out these past few days, recycling old garbage at a frenetic pace in their rags, something I have noted is an extreme rare occurrence even for them for their sickening strings of lies & made up facts they spew.
repeat of what I recall way back 25 years ago in the demonization & vilification of another Sadman.
according to the msm, we got:
A Sad Man is dropping barrel bombs again;
A Sad Man is unplugging baby incubators somewhere in a baby neonatal ward in syria somewhere;
A Sad Man is using chemical weapons used, undeclared & hidden from the 2014 supposed handover & disposal;
By repeating this mantra again and again, having the MSM as their trumpet :
Repeating is the father of knowledge
Moreover when it’s a Lie put on edge
The Master of Lie, shows us his Back
To have a look in his ugly, stinky Crack
So I’m moving along in my book Nicholas I just passed and the serfs are emancipated under Alex II. 1861.
He writes about Alexander Herzen as someone who after seeing emancipation realized, increased his demands, asking for constitutional rights, common ownership of land, and self-government of the people.
Of Ivan Kirevsky he writes, “he extolled communal ownership as exemplified by the mir.”
Question:
How does this common land “mir” exist when nobles owned the land? Did the mir live on the noble’s land, at the noble’s discretion? Or was it maybe a community driven governance when nobles only collected annual tax?
In the mir under Alexander I, who enforced the law?
And, since I am going to Russia soon, so I am moving along my guide of Moscow and St. Petersburg…..
In the section dedicated to Ermitage I read:
“Dvorcovaia Square”.
” Palace Square has been one of the most important places in the history of Russia. Located behind the Winter Palace of Peter the Great was the scene of the revolutionary movements of the twentieth century, which were failing one after another until October 1917.
A January 9, 1905, Father Gapon led a large number of workers who, carrying icons and portraits of the czar and czarina, appeared before the palace to ask the Tsar to intervene to get some improvement in the hard labor conditions. The response was unloading the rifles of several thousand soldiers stationed around the square. The carnage was wild. The police report said that the dead were more than thirty. Father Gapon was hanged in 1906 by revolutionaries by a Finnish lake, having said that what he headed was a revolution….”.
So, one can easily conclude that the hard conditions of slavery or semi-slavery in which most of the Russian population lived in those Tsarist years was what led people first, to ask for changes in a peaceful way, for, once seen that the greed of the elites would not give rise to any concession to them, and that any claim or protest would mean losing life, to radicalize and attempt to overthrow these extractive elites in several revolutionary attempts and not just one.
It seems rather a natural evolution of people ad nauseum instead of a Jewish conspiracy as several here want us to make believe.
It also seems that some honest religious figures, as happened with catholic priests of Theology of Liberation, found just the demands of the workers and decided to lead some peaceful protest marches in the hope, certainly, that the monarchs would listen to a religious man, to find that, when it comes to share some wealth or power, monarchs normally park religion anywhere it fits them.
In harsh contrast, in the next page, on the Winter Palace, we read:
“Winter Palace ( Ermitage )”:
“(…)The first czar who lived in the place was Pedro III that would occupy the first floor rooms in the southeast corner, while his wife (the future Catherine the Great) resided on the opposite side. When she came to the throne room she redecorated her late husband´s rooms, which were occupied by her lover Count Orlov.
From the reforms the most interesting we can highlight are those made during the time of Nicholas I, who lavishly embellished his quarters. His wife Alejandra was not far behind sending decorate a large room with emeralds and gold (Malachite room). This room would be used by his grandson Nicholas II as part of its private dependencies….(…)”
And in the chapter on the Kremlin Armoury, we read:
“The tour begins on the ground floor where we find the Hall of Garments, in which fabrics and dresses are exposed both religious and secular.
It highlights the Chasuble of the 1000 silver crosses, woven in 1322 for the Metropolitan of Moscow, Peter.
Later we will see the splendid Chasuble of Photian, with abundant gold thread, silver and pearls. Beside it exposed another part of the same metropolitan, which were embroidered with equal wealth scenes of the Passion. You also can not help but see in this room the Layer of Patriarch Nikon, with abundant pearls, precious stones and metals, the Shroud of Christ from 1441, the Dalmatic of Patriarch Joseph from middle seventeenth century, and the impressive collection of miters in which highlights in gold and precious stones from 1634 by order of Tsar Mijail Romanov.
The next room is even richer in dazzling pieces of jewelry. It is the Hall of the Crown Jewels and the Thrones …..(…)
…..(…). They are also very valuable crowns those of Ivan IV the Terrible, with rubies, turquoise, gold and a large topaz, and of Mikhail Feodorovik, from the early seventeenth century, with a spectacular emerald. The crown of Anna Ivanovna takes crimps about 2500 diamonds. (…)
(…) No less important are the magnificent thrones, especially of Ivan III, made of ivory, and the so called Diamond Throne, which belonged to Aleksei Mikhailovich, held in 1659 and which were used, along with thousands of pearls and turquoise,185 rubies and 870 diamonds ….”
That’s quite a lot of talk about riches. Why you write that to me? Does your book have something on architecture? Its hard with the inter webs, but honestly I’d be way more interested in that.
However, I was asking about common land, common ownership, and what is a mir.
A few pages later he writes,” “allocations in each village were held in common property by the mir.”
What was going on?
” Why you write that to me? “
Not for you but for all here.
I have only taken advantage that you were talking about Tsarist times to comment what, by casuality, I am also reading on the same times.
These quotes, not really about riches, but about megariches ( outrageously and shamefully riches compared with the situation of their so called servants despite the mir or any other intend to share only some crumbs ), are not quite, since I have not brought here all what is related there about the extravaganza in which these people, Tsars, nobility and high religious hierarchies, lived.
My aim is to prove that there were enough reasons for to lead people to revolution, and not through a unique intend but that there were several tries throughout those times, as it is quoted in my guide.
I can not help you with the mir you are talking about, so sorry.
BTW, can not resist quoting another interesting information about Ermitage Museum:
“(…) in the nineteenth century it was admitted the visit of the public (of course not the rabble); it would be the revolution who finally opened the doors of the museum for all.(…)
(…) One of the great museums of the world and also one of the largest since houses nearly three million art objects distributed not only in the main building, but continue in the Old, Small and New Hermitage buildings. In fact, -perhaps it is one of those famous Russian jokes- they tell us that if we spent one minute to see each object in the Hermitage, it would take us eleven years in seeing them all …..”
At this point and, and as you point “in harsh contrast” , would be interesting reading this excerpt translated into Spanish in a Spanish blog from Stefan Zweig´s book “Decisive moments in history”:
http://marat-asaltarloscielos.blogspot.com.es/2016/08/el-tren-precintado.html
I am translating only an excerpt from the excerpt for reasons of space. Try to translate the whole.
“The sealed train”
The man who was staying at the cobbler´s home.
(…) Switzerland, the small island of peace whose coasts were battered on all sides by the breakers of the World War, it was during the years 1915, 1916, 1917 and 1918, the continued scene of an exciting detective story. Hotels in fashion, the envoys of warring powers, which a year earlier had played bridge together in the friendliest terms and had changed invitations for banquets, passed now next to each other without a slight greeting, as if they were unknown. From their departments came a train of figures without further relief -delegates, secretaries, businessmen, ladies veiled or unveiled-, but committed, one and all, in secret commissions. Below they moved decorated beautiful cars with foreign badges and , when they stood still, they landed industrialists, journalists, virtuoses, or people who claimed that only traveled moved by entertainment. But in almost all cases they had the same committee: gathering information, spy on the ground. The same carriers serving such people, the maids who cleaned the rooms were also bribed to observe and hear. Everywhere they vied with each other organizations: in taverns, in the guest houses, in offices, in cafes. What passed as propaganda was more than half espionage; betrayal wore the mask of love; and behind the declared occupation of most of these hurried visitors a second or a third that was unknown hiding. Everything was reported, everything was inspected, just a German of any position could set foot in Zurich without being instantly sent to Bern, and an hour later to Paris, a report on his arrival. Complete volumes of real or not information were sent daily by big and small players to aggregates, and were passed by them to their bosses. The walls were as transparent as glass, telephones were connected; with waste from bins baskets and the blotters correspondence was carefully reconstructed; and so crazy became the hubbub, that many of those included in it could no longer tell whether they were hunters or hunted, spies or spied upon, betrayers or betrayed.
Only about a foreigner in Switzerland was rarely reported in those days, perhaps because he stood out so little, never entered into an elegant hotel, he never sat in a cafe or attended a propaganidst meeting, but lived retired with his wife in the house of a cobbler in which he was staying. Their rooms were on the Spiegelgasse, close to the Limmat, on the second floor of one of the tenements solidly built in the Old Town of muddy facade, partly because of the age and partly because of the fumes of a small sausage factory working under the windows. His neighbors were the wife of a baker, an Italian, and an Austrian actor; and they only knew about him (being very uncommunicative)that he was a Russian with an almost unpronounceable name.
Perhaps the shoemaker’s wife, the hostess, knew more than the others: it had been for years a refugee, and who was in difficult circumstances for not having a lucrative job. All this was deducted from the meager meals and tattered clothes of the two Russians, whose total possessions just filled the battered trunk with which they had arrived there.
The man, short and strong, he had nothing of striking appearance and was visible that he wished to go unnoticed. He dodged society; their neighbors could rarely catch a glimpse of her dark eyes, but sharp and narrow; and very few visitors came to see him. Regularly, day after day, he went to the public library at nine and was there until noon, when it was closed. At 0:10 he was back at home, to leave at thirteen and ten and be the first to come back to the library where he stayed until eighteen. But as the agents of the various belligerents who were in the Confederation only followed the steps tothe loquacious, and did not know that, invariably, the lonely, who read a lot and learn a lot are more dangerous and most likely revolutionizes the world, they did not write information about this man who went unnoticed and was staying at the house of the cobbler.(…)
(…) His arrival at the station did not arouse interest. No reporters form dailies were present nor photographers. Nobody in Switzerland knew nothing about Herr Ulyanov, who, with brimmed felt, a threadbare suit and boots with nails (which used until the group arrived in Sweden), as a member of a band of men, women and children loaded with luggage, quietly and unobtrusively were looking for a place on the train. There was nothing that distinguished them from the countless refugees -Serbians, Ruthenians and Romanians- who were seen frequently at Zurich station sitting on their wooden boxes taking a break on his trip to Geneva and beyond. The Swiss Labour Party, who disapproved the trip, did not send a representative. Attended only a few Russians, some to say goodbye; others to bring something from the little they could have, and some food for the travelers; some to send greetings to friends in Russia; and still others waiting deter Lenin from “his outlandish and criminal enterprise”. But his decision was irrevocable. At 15:10 the guard´s whistle blew, and the wheels began to turn as the train was leaving for Gottmandingen, the station at the German border. It was 15:10 and, since then, the clock of the world has marked a different time.(…)”
Interesting.
I am reminded of a BBC documentary from the nineties about the Moscow real-estate boom.
The guide was a charming young real-estate agent, a Russian. Yet, underneath his sales patter, I sensed a palpable anxiety – what was this ‘boom’ doing to Russia, to society?
Often wonder where he fetched up…
One if the interviewees was a mogul who had become rich through the takeover of an industry sector.
He guides the camera crew through what could only be described as a palace – very much in the French fin-de-siècle style, complete with gold-plating on just about every decorative surface.
He himself was dressed casually and plainly.
He recounted that the local Communist Party (I think he was still a member) called him in about his wealth and it’s conspicuous consumption/display.
CP: ” All this wealth you now have. Do you not care about the people ?”
Mogul: “No. I don’t care about The People.”
I laughed at his cynical rejoinder, even though the nineties has since emerged as far from a ‘laughing matter’ for too many Russians.
Then he said something which gave me pause, as he waved a rather bored hand at an opulent, totally over-the-top gold-plated bed:
“I don’t really care about all this. I do it to give work to artists.”
Makes you realise that people cannot be neatly categorized – he was a ‘god-send’ to artisans whose skills might otherwise have rusted through disuse or been diverted into monotony and drudgery.
The ‘cynic’ seemed to have some grasp of how work that is fulfilling and skilled is good for the soul.
Maybe the ‘cynicism’ was deserved, and he felt he could offer better lives than his former comrades ?
Or maybe he was ‘rationalising’?
It gave me food for thought anyway.
My understanding is that after the serfs were liberated they began the slow process of giving them land.The noble land owners in most cases were willing to sell off large areas of their estates,or the entire estate to the government. Which bought it and sold it to the peasants. Since their freedom was partly useless without land. Depending on the area of Russia, not all serfs were farm workers,many were in other trades that paid a portion of their income to serf masters,and didn’t work the land.Though the vast majority of serfs were land peasants.The serf villages had pooled their work on the estates together under serfdom,and there was a controversy among the officials whether to make the land into individual farms for peasants. Or to give in over in huge plots to be shared by all,in a “mir”.The government favored doing that. Since to divide the land individually would mean some lands might be better land ,some worse land.Some peasants had large families,some small. And they thought as the peasants had a tradition of “collectivist” working of the land. That that was the way to do it. Years later under Stolypin,the government wanted to adopt a more “capitalist” approach to the land. And started to break up the “mir” into individual farms. To solve the problem of some peasants being shortchanged under that arrangement they began large scale colonization efforts in areas of vacant land in Siberia and in whats now Northern Kazakhstan,and the North Caucasus region. They moved several million peasant families under individual farms to those areas. Those plans continued until WWI and the Revolution. After that the new government decided to go to collectivization of agriculture. Which in some ways was to recreate a “mir” situation again.
Awesome. Thanks.
“Painstaking historians have counted 556 (uprisings) during Nicholas’ reign of thirty years.” I think that includes as one the Dekabrist Revolt which went down the same year he got the crown from Alexander.
I’m trying to read for the relationship between the nobles and the peasants.
If Kirevsky “extolled communal ownership as exemplified by the mir” then I assume that was akin to common lands in England prior to the industrial revolution, or in Mexico prior to the Porfirio.
If Kirevsky thought the mir exemplified communal ownership, and some randomly appointed noble had rights to collect tribute to the King, then the land I’d think would be owned by the King rather than in common by the people.
Maybe there is no track record for having the decision making power over what gets planted where, and not owing taxes to any overlord. I mean prior to Ivan 1, it was kind of an invite to be over run by the Cimmerians.
I also do believe it may be well time to start.

For the record; neo-Ottoman Turkey has invaded northern Syria. Ankara did not bother to ask the government in Damascus; the UN; and not even those clowns in the Arab League.
Well, if the Empire of Chaos can do it, why not the neo-Ottomans?
It happened when Keystone Cop Biden was in Ankara. That implies a green light from the Empire of Chaos. After all, US troops are already – illegally – operating in Syria.
Western corporate media refuses to admit this is an invasion. The EU is mum. NATO is mum. So international law is definitely for suckers.

I know! Awful, isn’t it? (I’m so not being sarcastic. Just to be clear :/)
-TL2Q
In the memory of our friend, Martin :
Looking for Freedom
I’m looking for freedom, and I want it right now
I’m looking for freedom, being stuck with a Frau
A Frau is the reason I can’t find now the freedom
Waiting for a wake up call, in shadow of the wall
The man, is sitting in the sattle, and riding a cattle
Speaking very stinky prose, under people’s nose
Opening his big mouth, indeed like a Sauer Kraut
Looking sick and proud, screaming to the crowd
Very hard and very laud : “You are the excrement,
You have to be removed, not the establishement ”
The man in his power, came under heavy shower.
They shouted : “Waiter, take away this ugly traitor,
go back in your sack, cause we are the pack ! ”
But the pack is shallow, where’s those who follow ?
Where’s the working mass, waiting for their pass ?
Better to emigrate, than fighting for their own fate ?
At Brandenburger Gate, is your history, your fate
There is the place, where you’ll brake your chains
What’s bad, throw away, who’ll stand in your way ?
If you’ll stay again united, the victory will be granted
On second reading, seems more nuanced, less rough.
“Sattle” and not saddle is an invented word of Germano-poetic license, or an innocent error?
Still tired, so I’m going to watch that movie about a train to Lisbon.
And then try to Finnish (pun intended,as I am relieved of rodent guard duty) my poem about Ramblin Man..then get to my Very Moving Story….and numbers are doing a number on me, so I must leave Kropotkin alone for a few more weeks, go Back to the USSR, put out something I think at least Peter AU will get, and then get to eleventy-seven other items on my To Do list.
But without rest, it all crashes and burns. Ah, such a sleep I anticipate, rocking to the rhythm of the railroad tracks, all the way to Portugal.
A universal lullaby for souls on the move:
https://youtu.be/9f_QySKfsgI Most of the fiddlers in Nashville….
https://youtu.be/nAmrKeyeHKA Or the Man in Black gets it with the harmonica.
“Hey, looky yonder comin’, comin’ down that railroad track!
Hey, looky yonder comin’, comin’ down that railroad track!
It’s that Orange Blossom Special, bringin’ my baby back.
Or for those locked up, but yearning for that archetype of soulful movement.
You’re right, initially I wanted to write “sattel” (german) which means saddle (english). Thanks for the Blossom with Johnny Cash in western style. Where are those people now ? I’m looking forward for you poem about the Rambling Man. Do you here something about Leary ?
Well that’s a new international poetic genre (mixing languages together….)! Go with i!
Here we have spanglish. My best construction worker uses 90% Spanish except for construction tools and items which are better expressed in English when communicating about supply runs to Home Depot. And when explaining something he has completely forgotten the word “entonces” and naturally uses the far more economical English “so” seamlessly and very often amidst his Spanish.
Spanglish. Always reminds me of the 60’s song Woolly Bully, which starts on the fifth beat after “Guan, two, tres, cuatro” :
https://youtu.be/7CHiUN8XTWs
The Vietnam War photos are so appropriate to this stupid, stupifying music which just might be not so subliminally satanic:
“Mattie told Hattie about a thing she saw,
Two big horns and a woolly jaw
Wooly Bully, Wooly Bully, etc etc.
Mix in some drugs and you can cut the cognitive capacities of the cannon fodder in half right quick. “What are we fightin’ for? Don’t know, I don’t give a damn, next stop is Vietnam!”
Thanks for your good point, this was my first attempt to do it (to mix-in two German words – Frau (woman) and Sattel (saddle) because it was intended mainly to Germans – who may understand the broader image – but definitely you are right. This site is in English, so from now on, I’ll try not to be a clown. Hope, you understand as well, hitting hammer with the nail, even if that’s opposite, hammer hits to nailing it.
I’m enjoying your ‘experiment’.
Keep on truckin’!!
I agree with Eimar’s comment! I really savored the flavor of this poem. Like the chunks of salt sprinkled on a fresh pretzel. Zesty, startling, and satisfying.
That’s the best “fusion” I can come up with. :-)
I liked your „Frau“ here, ioan, sounded to me like the occasional „Frau“ in Russian war movies, expressing a very special mixture of disgust and respect for another specimen of the herrenrasse, however, a Frau, not an SS man.
I am worried somewhat about this „In memoriam Martin“ atmosphere. To what extent did he leave us? How did it happen? What did I miss? Probably it‘s a taboo, still I‘d like to know.

I’ll answer in the new cafe, in case your question is left here alone with the cups and saucers of Yesterday.
Dennis Brunnell, a 33rd degree Mason and a Grandmaster in the Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) had become “disillusioned” by the Illuminati’s present activities. Originally believing that the Illuminati was a mystic lodge designed to illuminate one into mystical heights of ascended awareness.
The Rituals used from 10,000 years of Molech Ritual burning human sacrifice immolation, molestation and Cybele and Adonis – State Religion of the Roman Empire – with its homosexual, pedophile satanic rituals, castrated homosexual Galli priests and Russian Skoptsy and Amazon Breast castration all point to how Satanic Ritual has been used to create a psychopathic overclass, control the lower orders and degenerate society for thousands of years.
Dennis eventually learned that such metaphysical talk was just so much hot air designed to gain the willing assistance of lower-ranking “lodge” members, who were unknowingly being manipulated into serving the hypocritical, self-seeking and self-serving imperialistic goals of a relatively small inner core of “illumined” members.
Some years ago a man by the name of John Todd, a member of a family who were high-level and generational members of a druidic witchcraft cult, alleged that through his occult contacts he was chosen to be initiated into a deep-level Illuminati lodge. He claimed that in doing so he had to “unlearn” much of the wiccan philosophies which he was taught at a young age.
These occult teachings were merely a means, he soon found out, of this inner core of initiates to control the lower ranks of the lodge.
This inner core, which consisted of 13 individuals, were (he claims) the leaders of all the large wiccan/witchcraft organizations as well as the leaders of World Freemasonry. These men controlled both movements from their lofty positions, along with much of the world’s drug trafficking, and had powerful influence in NGOs like Soros world economic and political movements. Mr. Todd soon learned that this inner core were continually fearful that the lower-ranking members of the occult societies would turn against “them” if the lower members ever found out that this inner council were merely using these “lower pawns” to increase their own wealth and their god-like power and authority over the rest of humanity.
The Rothschilds of London, he also learned, were at the very heart of this conspiracy, along with the Jesuits in Rome. The Rothschilds were considered to be “human gods” by many occultists and, according to Mr. Todd, were in constant communication with “Lucifer”, who they themselves considered to be god.
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 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.
Dennis Brunnell, John Todd and in fact millions of former Communists, realized that there was an incredible contradiction between what these world socialists were telling their “followers” and what these inner elite were actually practicing. The connection we make between Illuminism and Communism, which is still very strong in mainland China as Mao was a 33rd Degree Mason, is no coincidence, as both are socialist movements.
Also, according to well-known geo-political analysts such as Dr. John Coleman, Karl Marx himself had known ties with 33rd degree Masonry and the Jesuit Order.
Just as the creation of Wahhabism in 1708 AD by the British Secret Services paying Abdul Wahhab for the Destruction of the Ottoman Empire and later its adoption by British created Saudi Arabia in order to create ISIS terrorism worldwide and its colour revolution hybrid warfare destabilisation the Middle East, Russia and China as well as of Europe and USA to create police states for the “protection” of the populaces.
Indeed the problem, reaction, solution dialectic is used by Illuminism to control society and dumb it down in this way.
Brunnell alleged that some within the Illuminati were so heartless as to believe that their socialist “World Order” must be brought about even if the orchestrating of wars, etc., had to be accomplished in order to create the conditions necessary for establishing it… or, in other words, that the end justified the means. These lost souls were and are apparently convinced that they have the divine right to decide the fate of nations, and that the masses of humanity exist for no other reason than to serve their cause.
They consider themselves “gods” and the rest of humanity as “mere mortals”. So much for the end-result of the false promise that was given to man by the serpent race as revealed in Genesis chapter 3, which was that men could be as gods, and that the creature could be independent from or equal to the Creator.
Prince Philip of England of the Coberg Saxe Gotha clan, descended from Vlad the Impaler or Dracula of Transylvania, – Price Charles has a “Stake” in Transylvania and lives in Dracula’s castle six months out of each year and has blood transfusions regularly from young children to make him live longer like many of the billionaire Globalist class like Al “Gore” of the firm Blood and Gore who skims off the Carbon Tax scam – Prince Philip once asked ICL for a secure operating system of 15 levels where you could see your level and the levels underneath you, but not the levels above. This indeed is the way all Secret Societies work and like Russian dolls, one within the other, the secrets get more deep and more secret and that all the myths expounded by all the lower levels are lies and the highest level only tells the truth which explains all the other levels.
This final secret must be intense because only the highest psychopaths can implement it as they are Globally implementing it now….
I had a strange dream the other night which was clearly influenced by P.K. Dick’s Ubik and Dostoevsky’s short story Bobok. In it there were a group of people, who did not believe in God, or rather perhaps believed in God the way that demons are said to. What these people believed in was something called asymptotic awareness and they put much store in the subjective dilation of time in life’s final moments. They built massive tombs, clouded in secrecy, like the ancient Pharaohs on the public dime, and warred against the living whose psychic robustness threatened their peace.
Dostoevsky’s Bobok – The narrator, Ivan Ivanovich, is a disgruntled, unsuccessful writer who has had one novel and numerous journalistic columns rejected. He is haunted by an enigmatic sound—“bobok.” In order to distract himself, he attends the funeral of a distant relative, where he is treated haughtily, adding to his humiliation and resentment. After the funeral he remains in the cemetery, sits down on a tombstone, and becomes lost in reflection. He lies on a long stone shaped like a coffin and begins to hear muffled voices coming from the earth below.
As he listens, he distinguishes various voices of the dead: the weighty, dignified voice of Major General Vasily Vasilevich Pervoedov; the saccharine, ingratiating voice of the court councillor Semyon Evseich Lebezyatnikov; the masculine, plebeian voice of a shopkeeper; the haughty voice of the irritable lady, Avdotya Ignatyevna; the frightened voice of a deceased youth; the lisping, peevishly imperious voice of the privy councillor, Tarasevich; the insolent, gentlemanly voice of Baron Pyotr Petrovich Klinevich; the cracked, giggling, girlish voice of the young Catiche Besetova; and the bass voice of an engineer. While listening to the conversations, Ivan realizes that the life of the dead resembles the life of the living:… asymptotic awareness. We live forever..
God is Good etymologically speaking Good is God. God gives. My nightmare is that of people worshipping Gods who are not really God. Gods like, Lucifer, Satan, Molech, Cybele, Beelzebub, Baphomet.
These demons promise psychic powers, eternal life, life after death, how to enter the body of another in psychic possession time after time for thousands of years – dark immortality to their worshippers – which is a lie as we are already immortal – if they only parasitise the energies, sacrifice, kill, the living. Satan takes – is a vampire who, through mastery of the dark side of the Force for thousands of years, sucks the psychic energies of man in order to live forever. Satan perverts, degenerates, distorts, lies. To this end Satanic Ritual includes Human Sacrifice, cannibalism and castration.
The only protection is goodness.. to school yourself and attain mastery in meditation and psychic protection and the connection with the goodness of the one true good God. Be Good. Do Good..
I think that dreams are the neurological equivalent of a fart, and that the meaning or significance is added. The dream I had conforms with my worldview. Eschatology too, I think is worldview. What is one’s worldview and how does one come to have one? Dostoevsky has a quote about art/beauty at first imitating life and later informing life, but I can’t recall how he put it, at the moment. The author of Hebrews mentions ” a great cloud of witnesses” and when I watched the youtube of Texas in the church my eyes were drawn to the icons in the background.
re: psychic vampires—also, learn to recognize them because they are not stupid nor does their leadership walk around with “satan” stamped conveniently on their foreheads, although with oozing Killery one has to wonder if she is a deliberate smoke screen due to their overweening arrogance of power.
The game is that the vice presidents really are the NWO back up men as Biden’s little show up and pat on the back ( and head) to Erdogan demonstrates. So look at Caine and look at Pence who was put in at the insistence of the Republican party stalwarts who made a deal with Trump for him and know that both are the organizational men for the neocons. They are the bland faced bureaucrats of the NWO.
Let us hope that the populist movement behind Trump starts to self educate and self organize and brand itself with a better term than “alt-right”.
If Hitlery is not the most despised woman on Earth right now, it’s only because she’s not in office yet, and hopefully she’ll never be.

“They either know nothing about the world, or else their job is to report a bare-faced lie,” Yildirim snarled when asked to comment on accusations the operation was not targeting ISIL but Kurds.

US seeks to block Eurasia maritiame trade routes with Iran arms claim in Yemen: Analyst
http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2016/08/26/481812/Iran-US-Yemen-Saudi-Arabia-Kerry-weapon-terrorism
Wakim: Definitely because the US considers that the war in Yemen is part of its global strategy to contain Eurasia that consists of mainly three powers that are China, Russia and Iran and it needs to block this Eurasian giant from having access to maritime trade routes and that is why we see that the war in Yemen, the true objective is to block Iran and behind it China and Russia from having access to the Red Sea and to the gate of the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean and it is not strange that this comes after two days of Iranian boats intercepting an American destroyer in the Hormuz [passage].
If this works, I can see Trump stealing the glory shine by claiming he thought of it first in his wall announcement of may months ago.
Unless he claims he got the idea from those rude boorish troglodyte frenchies & their Maginot Line.

The Broken Chessboard: Brzezinski Gives Up on Empire
by MIKE WHITNEY
The main architect of Washington’s plan to rule the world has abandoned the scheme and called for the forging of ties with Russia and China. While Zbigniew Brzezinski’s article in The American Interest titled “Towards a Global Realignment” has largely been ignored by the media, it shows that powerful members of the policymaking establishment no longer believe that Washington will prevail in its quest to extent US hegemony across the Middle East and Asia…..

Toward a Global Realignment
ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI april 2016
As its era of global dominance ends, the United States needs to take the lead in realigning the global power architecture.
Five basic verities regarding the emerging redistribution of global political power and the violent political awakening in the Middle East are signaling the coming of a new global realignment.
The first of these verities is that the United States is still the world’s politically, economically, and militarily most powerful entity but, given complex geopolitical shifts in regional balances, it is no longer the globally imperial power. But neither is any other major power.
The second verity is that Russia is experiencing the latest convulsive phase of its imperial devolution. A painful process, Russia is not fatally precluded – if it acts wisely – from becoming eventually a leading European nation-state. However, currently it is pointlessly alienating some of its former subjects in the Islamic southwest of its once extensive empire, as well as Ukraine, Belarus, and Georgia, not to mention the Baltic States.
The third verity is that China is rising steadily, if more slowly as of late, as America’s eventual coequal and likely rival; but for the time being it is careful not to pose an outright challenge to America. Militarily, it seems to be seeking a breakthrough in a new generation of weapons while patiently enhancing its still very limited naval power.
The fourth verity is that Europe is not now and is not likely to become a global power. But it can play a constructive role in taking the lead in regard to transnational threats to global wellbeing and even human survival. Additionally, Europe is politically and culturally aligned with and supportive of core U.S. interests in the Middle East, and European steadfastness within NATO is essential to an eventually constructive resolution of the Russia-Ukraine crisis.
The fifth verity is that the currently violent political awakening among post-colonial Muslims is, in part, a belated reaction to their occasionally brutal suppression mostly by European powers. It fuses a delayed but deeply felt sense of injustice with a religious motivation that is unifying large numbers of Muslims against the outside world; but at the same time, because of historic sectarian schisms within Islam that have nothing to do with the West, the recent welling up of historical grievances is also divisive within Islam………
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has accused the US of importing terror to the Middle East through its interventions, pointing to Iraq, Libya and Syria as examples.
Speaking at an event being held in honor of the holy Islamic day of Eid’l Fit’r in Davao City on Friday, the leader challenged the narrative that the Middle East is the root of terrorism. “It is not that the Middle East is exporting terrorism to America; America imported terrorism (to the Middle East),” he said.
Duterte slammed the US and UK for presenting Saddam Hussein as a dictator in order to justify the Iraq war of 2003, and for failing to admit their mistakes after the fact. “They forced their way into Iraq,” he told the Muslim crowd.
“After almost 10 years of investigation, it turned out there was no legal basis to declare war against Iraq. You see, it’s a useless war,” he explained.
“Look at Iraq now. Look what happened to Libya. Look what happened to Syria. Even children are being doused with gasoline. They were pushed to the wall for the failed promises,” he added.
The Philippines is not without its own issues of unrest, as groups in the country’s minority Muslim regions have been fighting for autonomy in the largely Christian country since the late ‘60s.
Duterte wants to hold peace talks between groups in the region, the Moro National Liberation Front, and its offshoot, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, in order to work out details of an autonomy agreement reached in 2014. He urged the leaders to focus on peace.“Let us build a nation that will be founded on peace and understanding,” he said.
“It will not come overnight. Certainly, it will not come next year. Probably, it will be something about two to three years from now. But I assure you that something will change before I end my term.”
Duterte also said he would not call the Abu Sayyaf rebel group criminals, as they were “driven to desperation,” thanks to failed promises and a lack of governance. “That’s why they were pushed to the wall,” he said. “They were radicalized.”

many books a quite unknown chapter in US history of spreading their kinder gentler genocide everywhere they set foot is General ‘Black Jack’ Pershing, a WW I figure, doing gawd’s work in the 1920’s sent there their colony/possession (of War of 1898) the Philippines to root out muslims & the newest invented bogeyman at that time, commies.
Quite the change of scenery & battle to go from the green lush rolling hills & wine areas of france to steaming, thick (can’t see anything from 10 feet around you) suffocating hot jungles & marshes with all manner of poisonous critters.
Already the first sentence describes the pathological mindset of globalistas:
“….the United States needs to take the lead in realigning the global power architecture.”
It is this urge to self-appointed leadership, undeserved by past results, that failed in current accomplishments, which clearly points out what can be expected from its future performance, if it ever comes in the position to do any “realignment” on global scale.
I would say that the only leadership US has any right to is to realign itself, that is, a very local realignment.

This comment, in response to an article that decries a ‘top-down’ (referencing Jill Stein) approach to socio-economic inequality in the US for a ‘grass-roots’ , Eugene Debs mass-action, is interesting:
Enjoyed the article. One thing, among many I might add, particularly caught my attention; “The problem is not with Stein herself, rather the problem is with the entire conception of what the Left is and should be and how it ought to make decisions about moving forward.”
Would you perhaps agree that the old paradigm of left vs. right needs to change? There has been talk over the years that a new political paradigm has come into existence, and that it more resembles the four directions of a compass. And that at each of the four points are groups of voters put together by shared values but with different numbers in terms of actual votes.
Picture if you will a compass laying flat with the four points laid out as would expect. In the very center is a circle that represents at least 20% of the people who don’t vote, never will and there’s no point in trying to reach them. Now in the East, we have a group of voters who share common values such as leaving the U.N., jingoistic, extreme hate of foreigners, strong faith in Christianity, very much conservative, capitalist tendencies. Their vote count is around 10-15% of the people that actually vote. The South contains the international business sector that has a sprinkling of conservatism, free trade, some multilateral-ism, like trade agreements and limited U.N. involvement, belief in U.S. world leadership and military intervention when needed. Their vote count is around 10-15%. The West has the sector that demands total multilateral-ism, total commitment to U.N. policy making over U.S. unilateralism, drastic cuts to defense and massive increases in domestic spending, end to the War on Drugs, total non-intervention unless for peaceful purposes and an end to all religious affiliation with politics. No fossil fuels to be tolerated of any kind, ever. In fact, they’re also pretty much atheist and/or agnostic. Their vote count is 10-15%.
The North has folks who share commonality in the sense they want government to perform certain functions by making sure their taxes are spent appropriately like paving roads and the mail arrives on time, some U.S. international leadership is warranted but endless wars perhaps not, international trade must exist but not at the expense of racing to the bottom, fair treatment and respect of all races and religious creeds, creating more opportunities that lead to a lessening of the wealth gap, more choices in politics, greater transparency in government and by authority figures, they’re pro-choice, don’t care about guns and believe in a path to citizenship for illegals as long they pay taxes. The North believes it is long past due the U.S. had a comprehensive manufacturing and realistic energy plan that makes it more self-sufficient and creating more viability for the long-term, for example, solar and wind power alone aren’t going to cut it for the short term but natural gas may be the bridge fuel for the next twenty years so we just need to clean up the extraction process. They believe in the EPA and leaving the environment better off than they inherited it but are practical about how to achieve the end game. This group comprises nearly 40% of the total electorate that bothers to vote.
As elections go now, the Left (democrats) merely borrow enough policies and messaging that appeal to the North, the West and some from the South to get elected but rarely follow through on definitive actions, as in no long-term planning for manufacturing and infrastructure improvement, no end to mass incarceration, and no end in war making. The Right (republicans) do the same thing by saying just enough to pull votes out of the North, East and South to get elected by promising more law and order, greater U.S. international leadership, creating fear of outsider influences, less taxation and government intrusiveness. Of course as we know, even if they achieve some goals such as militarism and intervention and taxation doesn’t increase; racism still perseveres and government just got bigger. Meanwhile, the North goes on feeling frustrated and resentful at the continued gridlock, slow growth and increasing tension among us all.
Yet it is the North that is under-represented by either of the mainstream parties even though they count for double in terms of votes. This is where I believe the Green Party can migrate to and be more effective in the coming years. I feel what you say about the necessary social movements that need to arise but I also share your feelings that the likelihood of it happening except in disparate cases is the apparent outcome. I think the Green Party can attract good quality candidates and keep them in the Party by adhering to values held by a greater percentage of voters, like those in the North, than by continuing to just stay in the fringe, adhering to an old political paradigm, like left vs. right.
“the Left (democrats)” “the Right (republicans)”
LOL
A major problem with discussing politics with americans is they are completely clueless about the left and what leftwing politics are. Their media and education system has completely dumbed them down to the point where their political “reality” is purely a propaganda fantasy construct.
I’ve given up pointing out that totalitarianism is not communism.
Or that communism is not fascism.
Or that capitalism is not freedom/liberty.
Instead, I focus on neo-liberalism/globalism as the scourge that needs to be defeated.
Let them have their capitalism if that’s what they want. The most important objective is to support a non-ideologically hidebound socio-economic paradigm that excludes warfare as an essential component of wealth-acquisition.
Everyone is better-off ultimately if they grasp this simple verity, not least themselves.
I believe that is beginning to happen.
The next objective is to abolish tax-havens worldwide. It is these that are enabling the financing of a globalist criminal cabal.
One step at a time.

I have also sometimes the same thoughts, I have realized that the individual people are inclined to greed, they love to have self properties (which is natural) but some want more, then more. The envy is also there of course.Then comes the exploitation of his brothers and this is supported by liberalism – the bath water of capitalism.
I think this compulsive desire for more and more wealth/power is a mental illness – a kind of neurosis rooted in a need for personal security.
Of course it is also motivated by psychopathy – power and greed coupled with lust. This mentality respects no boundaries.
The sociopathic policies of the political class in Europe and US are the inevitable outcome of the pathologies of financiers.
@Eimar:
“[..] Instead, I focus on neo-liberalism/globalism as the scourge that needs to be defeated.”
^ Hear! – Hear!
And I see it’s beginning to work, people are abandoning ideas of left vs. right, or centre vs. anyone (etc), in favor of identifying the main enemy: the globalists.
And the people are staring to understand they’re everyone’s enemy: left, right, socialist, communist, libertarian (etc), even staunch capitalist supporters (like the ones who post in places like ZeroHedge and oppose every single aspect of the welfare state) know darn well the globalists are out to get us all, and that includes them.
It’s quite a unifying force if you think about it, this popular push against globalists.
Of course you still get the old timers who just can’t help themselves and blame it all on “commies” and “lefties,” when they really should be blaming the neo-liberals and their neo-con siamese twins conjoined at the hip.
The younger ones are starting to be a bit more discerning though… they’ve identified the faux-left as being the ‘regressive’ left.
Spot on, in my opinion, since the left is and always was traditionally progressive, the whole ethos of the true left always was about the abolition of inequality (including things like reducing the wealth-gap between the rich and the poor), care for those in need, protect those who need protecting, true Social Justice… things like that.
But genuine progressivism doesn’t mean that men who fancy themselves as women should be allowed in women only spaces!
^ That’s the regressive left for you.
That last part of my comment kind of ties-up with a previous comment you made earlier on a different subject. And I agree, you’re absolutely right, these globalist are targeting women first and foremost. I forget who said this, but it reminds me of this quote [paraphrasing, of course] “Get the women and children first, and the men will follow.”
They are indeed targeting the weakest – ok, that can be interpreted as being condescending, allow me to correct myself; they’re targeting the more vulnerable portion of the population (50% plus, non the less) first in order to get the other 50% to toe the line.
There was this good article I read on the RussiaInsider (I can fetch it for if you ask me), the topic was about the so-called “alt-right” (a term that even Killery used in one of her most recent speeches), that put it all together. The bottom line was that the people who populate the ‘alt-right’ understand that the true battle is between: nationalists/sovereigntists vs. globalists.
And nothing… it’s just that your comment reminded me of that article I’ve read :-)
-TL2Q
Thanks TLTQ.
Yes, if you have the time I would be interested in that RI article.
There was a very interesting one by a German academic on the nature of European civilization (though Nuss would no doubt scoff at the notion :-)), which traced it to its Christian artistic heritage.
It is related to the globalist threat, and I wish I could remember the title,

“you still get the old timers who just can’t help themselves and blame it all on “commies” and “lefties,” when they really should be blaming the neo-liberals and their neo-con siamese twins conjoined at the hip.”
Very appropriate observation from you. It is the AngloZionist-owned media that spread the lies and deception across the world – the deplorable sorry state of the world today is entirely due to the neoliberal-cum-neocon policies, but Marxism is blamed for every ill !
Eimar,
I’ve given up pointing out that totalitarianism is not communism.
Or that communism is not fascism.
Or that capitalism is not freedom/liberty.
…The most important objective is to support a non-ideologically hidebound socio-economic paradigm that excludes warfare as an essential component of wealth-acquisition.
I beg to differ with your first part of statement – eternal truth must be told in no uncertain terms … always … everywhere. As an activist seeking a society based on truth-justice-equality-morality, you should never get tired of telling the truth !
Also, if you dig out the details of history of mankind, you will conclude yourself (without taking any particular ideological ‘route’) that human ‘civilization’ (i’m inclined to use the obvious truth here but for the sake of maintaining the academic decorum I could not call it as ‘savagery’) has been using power projection and warfare as the most profitable way of wealth-acquisition. (Francis Drake was a fearless pirate who laid the foundation stone for British empire, and the elites-aristocrats-bankers of British empire amassed wealth completely backed by military means)
Thanks Straight-Bat.
You’re right.
It’s just that ‘correction’ makes people switch off – especially if done repeatedly.
The prime objective is to raise consciousness against warfare-as-normative and integral to economies.
When that is achieved, the next is to argue for systems of effective wealth-distribution, not feudalism/vertical condensation.
It’s simply a matter of first things first, not surrender :-)
Never that!!
Eimar,
Agree with you completely on the objectives.
But, I feel, you shouldn’t try to identify ‘first thing’ – those are integral issues … abundance of warfare in imperialist society (pre-capitalist and capitalist era) will naturally have inequality and skewed wealth-distribution.

Having directed this question to an astrologer, his answer is: the only measure is the zodiac
the only right ist the right for a 1/12 = 30°- portion for every of the 12 variants of the whole in the circle.
In modern words, the measure of every funktion is its fitting quality of time.

Celtic Cross
Is a Celtic Cross a scientific instrument as well as a sacred symbol?
Is it possible there is more to the cross than we previously understood?
Resurrected by Crichton E M Miller in 1997 the ancient working cross
has been awarded two Patents. The cross was demonstrated twice at
Cambridge University by invitation in 2006 and 2007.
( http://www.crichtonmiller.com/index.html )
Celtic cross, one of the many symbols created by the religious human soul of finite life – “crucification” within the eternal circles. The human soul, according to the astrology of the zodiac, is placed as “ligamentum” (link) between the “concupiscence” of the flesh ( Leo and Virgo) and the visions of the non-temporal spirit (Libra and Scorpio). The later part of the soul appeares producing the religious symbols as best possible ways to ‘coin’ hunched overarching truths (JUNG).
Cheers
as for the symbols, produced by the soul: the “Vineyard” is, as every christian knows one of the
major centering symbols in the New Testament and the saker as the guard is providing us with
this cafe for not to forget the sybolic truths of eternity over the politics of each day. Remember every day:
beware of ‘winning the wold and loosing ones soul’
Funny you should say that Mundo.
I knew a very wealthy individual for whom the phrase ‘the world is your oyster’ could have been coined.
He’d been everywhere, tried everything (and it seemed, everyone :-)
Yet his was a soul in chaos. No peace of mind. Constant dissonance.
I sometimes wonder if he’d made some Faustian pact while young to become so wealthy.
And the consequences eventually could no longer be buried in the subconscious, but kept spiking up, like thorns.
He was obsessed with forgetting as a ‘life-strategy.’ Said it was necessary for ‘re/invention.’
It was the weirdest idea I’d ever heard. Like voluntarily choosing Alzheimer’s.
I couldn’t be around all his spiritual agitation. It was making me sick.
So I said goodbye.
Maybe I didn’t want to be the one to hear his eventual confessio.
I now believe the path to serious wealth is fundamentally corrupting, and I don’t envy it.

You write:
“I’m having a dark cloud kind of a week. And these 5 messages give me a silver lining. Or more precisely, an impression of what a silver lining would feel like if I could see one which I can’t. But what I can see, and read, are these 5 messages. Really glad for you all, bringing what you bring, to the thirsty ones (such as me) in this café.”
What your metaphor of the “dark cloud” resonates to in me is the synchronicity with my reading this week, which is an old text of the 13th century, the “Aurora” (supposedly by St. Thomas) which JUNG and his assistant M.L.v. Franz wrote about. A cleric about his vision: ” Contemplating from afar I saw a huge cloud which overshadowed the entire earth black, by having sucked her in … ”
In the psychological comment, v. Franz is contemplating the psychic meanings of the black cloud-metaphor, surrounding the silver line – metaphor, like you are calling it. The ancient Greeks realized Zeus’ judgemental lightnings being flashing out of the black clouds, … the brain might dread the dark cloud but the soul seems to “know” about the light, the cloud is announcing.
Really, Your comment touched me, your ” really glad for you all, bringing what you bring, to the thirsty ones (such as me) in this café”. Thank You from Bavaria to Canada.
mundanomaniac, your reply provides further synchronicity for me. I was specifically thinking that imaging North America (and the world) with the Great Lakes under the total control of Zionists/financiers is like imagining the world with no sun. So your quote, “Contemplating from afar I saw a huge cloud which overshadowed the entire earth black,” — this is precisely what I was feeling. Just no light at all. No bright side, no silver lining, just black.
Where did that silver lining saying come from anyway, now that you mention it? Your further comments above are very helpful to me, really. “The brain might dread the dark cloud but the soul seems to ” know” about the light, the cloud is announcing.”
Just helpful. Thanks again to you and the other Bavarians who comment on this site.
The more I think about it the more Erdogan’s move into Syria looks like a major game changer in the middle east has most likely put the US on the ropes.
The US had to very publicly turn on the their only ally, the Kurds to try and stay onside with Turkey as a NATO ally. Who in the middle east would have any trust in the US now. What are the Iraqi Kurds thinking as they watched Biden publicly turn on the Syrian Kurds?
Perhaps this is the major move that will push the US out of the middle east. There can be no peace in the area until the US is pushed out.
Syria, Iran, Russia all seem ok with Erdogan’s moves. Erdogan taking direct control of ISIS and AQ in Syria and kicking the US out.
Erdogan’s Ottoman ambitions seem for Turkey to be the world leader of Sunni muslims rather than wahhabi/US backed Saudi and Quatar can’t be all bad? Or can it?
Some deal has been hammered out by Russia, Iran, Syria and Turkey before Turkey’s move into Syria. I guess we will get to see what it is sometime down the track.

An arrest warrant had been issued for the terrorists by the Iraqi government and they fled the country with fake identities and passports.
The terror group also sided with Saddam during his 1980-1988 war on Iran.
Iraqi leaders have long urged MKO remnants to leave the Arab country but a complete eviction of the terrorists has been hampered by the US and European support for the group.
In December 2011, the UN and Baghdad agreed to relocate some 3,000 MKO members from Camp Ashraf in Iraq’s Diyala Province to Camp Liberty, which is a former US military base.

TEHRAN (FNA)- Media sources disclosed that a Chinese military delegation in a visit to Damascus explored avenues for the dispatch of a number of warplanes to Syria to intensify war on terrorism in the Middle-Eastern country.
“In a surprising visit, a Chinese military delegation conferred with Syrian Defense Minister Fahad Jassim al-Freij over engagement of Chinese fighter jets in bombardments of terrorist groups’ positions in Syria, mainly in Aleppo,” Debka file quoted a military analyst as saying.
“Chinese jets may launch bombing of positions of Jeish al-Islami al-Turkistani with over 3,000 Uighur fighter,” the analyst quoted senior spy officers of the US intelligence as saying.

The 89-year-old Oligarch firmly told passionate pro-European Mr Clegg that she believed the EU was heading in the wrong direction.
Her stinging reprimand went on for “quite a while”, leaving other guests around the table stunned.
The account of the bombshell lunch during the last government – which a handful of other government ministers also attended – has been relayed to The Sun by a highly reliable source.
The senior source said: “People who heard their conversation were left in no doubt at all about the Queen’s views on European integration.
“It was really something, and it went on for quite a while.
“The EU is clearly something Her Majesty feels passionately about.”
The monarch is also said to have revealed her Eurosceptic feelings during a separate conversation with MPs at a Buckingham Palace reception.
One of a group of Parliamentarians in a circle with her at the time asked Her Majesty for her thoughts on Brussels.
The Queen is said to have snapped back angrily: “I don’t understand Europe”.
A parliamentary source, who relayed the remark to The Sun, said: “It was said with quite some venom and emotion. I shall never forget it”

Theresa May is the Queens first Minister. She does what the Queen says.
Theresa May has been accused of displaying the “arrogance of a Tudor monarch” over her reported intention to deny a parliamentary vote on Brexit before beginning the process of pulling the UK out of the European Union.
The prime minister is allegedly planning to prevent MPs from voting on the decision to leave the EU before article 50, the legislation that will trigger the UK’s formal exit from the bloc, is triggered.
There has been a post-referendum debate over whether the result is merely advisory, as the act that created it did not specify whether the result would be binding. Some have argued a vote should be held in parliament to ratify the result.
The Telegraph reported that May had been told by government lawyers that she did not need parliamentary approval to trigger the procedure, but it is believed that the prime minister could face legal challenges over the decision.
The vast majority of MPs – up to 480 – and most Lords have supported remaining in the EU.
Some reacted with anger at the news..
The Queen as a vampire,lol. Haha,Britain was the first country to popularize tabloid news. I think I see how now.
But on a more serious note,the 1st part of the post is I think just more proof that British “officialdom” is planning to get out of Brexit. They will “stall,stall,stall” as long as possible .And once people have almost forgotten about it. And the MSM has trashed the idea “enough”.They’ll announce that Parliament needs to vote on something “that important”.And the pro-EU stooges there will vote to not leave. They’ll claim that the EU is “offering” them a “better deal” now. And that it would be best to take that instead.The empire has been the “master at stalling” for years. And I smell that tactic in this matter as well.
However, the “old strategist” is not of the same opinion, since he leaked to me these three articles in one shot:
http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2016/07/22/downfall-britain.html
http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2016/07/29/may-day-calling.html
Also, related but in other vein, the third leakon the unprofessionalism in MI5, could well serve as reflection for some who for once in their life scratch any sense of power and have stopped for a moment feeling themselves a nonentity and because of this feel compelled to develop a behavior more worthy of the Gestapo, or, to put it in plain English, the Thought Police of their national George Orwell, which merely inform themselves/ us of their true nature:
http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2016/08/25/mrs-may-and-mi5.html
That last article was fascinating.
Also funny ( well, if the subject matter wasn’t so serious).
The ‘stupid services’ instead of ‘intelligence services’ indeed.
The writer is a good example of a certain kind of English psychology I have always liked – truth-to-power, contemptuous of greed and status, with a certain valour in the face of overwhelming odds. I think it comes from the defiant Christian tradition of the Quakers and Methodists.
Really liked the tone of the article, cutting the self-styled ‘mistress/masters of the universe’ – and their jobbing minions – down to size.
Yes, the guy has good sense of humor….
I do not know about the situation of British “so-called” Intelligence Services, but certain parts of the article made me feel a great empathy with the author as I felt the same when being banned myself or saw others banned by some in certain alt-media and applied similar Hazing manouvers, precisely by a “british agent”:
“(…) I was both flattered and amazed. Amazed that they would bother themselves to take exception to what I had written and flattered that they felt so affronted because I was exposing the reality of ( Britain’s so-called intelligence services ). If what I had written was simply a load of rubbish they surely would have just ignored it. By reacting so strongly against intellectual freedom and free speech they confirmed to me that I was on to something. It never occurred to me that in a democracy there were certain ( institutions ) that were above criticism….(…)”
These articles proposing that British intelligence is stupid are purposely written by British Intelligence to introduce into blogs in order that you underestimate their intelligence.
Mycroft Holmes was the brother of Sherlock Holmes who was much more intelligent than Sherlock Holmes – posit an IQ of 200 – who actually ran the British Boris Foreign Office no matter who purportedly ran it..
Babylonian Intelligence had Mycroft Aristotle the Poisoner of Alexander the Great charged with satanising logic and dumming down science – denying the actuality of the Soul – so much so the the Aristos – Aristo-crats – Satanists became in charge of society.
The Babylonian Secret Service morphed into the Venetian Secret Service who had Mycroft 200 IQ Paolo Sarpi as their James Bond.
Then when Venice took over London and formed the British Secret Services which then trained the CIA and More Sad.
For thousands of years, control structures have been formed to hide the people in charge.
The Forbes list of Billionaires is a joke as it does not list the obfuscating interlocking Holding Company Trillionaires.
We have to understand that Russian and Chinese Intelligence must know the truth behind the lies yet they do not say this truth directly – they only release this intelligence through their conspiracy theory minions.
I think we investigate the Minions and forget the Mycroft.
We know that Presidents are not really in charge so any idiot will do as long as they comply..
Like Russian Dolls, one within the other, who is really in charge?
Who decides the policy?
Who is charged with carrying it out?
I doubt there is any ‘Mr. Big’.
Just a bunch of ‘Mr.- I-Am-The-Biggest-Of-The-Mr.Bigs’v.
Each believes they are The Controller.
That only they can exploit and control Chaos.
But Chaos doesn’t give a fig about such human delusions of omnipotence.
That’s when the Imp of Blowback kicks in.
As for Liz Regina…her power is purely psychological, as all power ultimately is.
The power to kill another resides in all humans, so that is not the source of control.
It’s in your own head.
Free your mind.
How?
Want nothing, and remain incorruptible.
Caveat: this does not address torture I know.
That will end with real people-power.
Note: An IQ of 200 is more likely to be correlated with severe depression/schizophrenia than any special ‘powers.’
Never stopped anyone from self-harm, addiction or any other ‘stupidity’.
You invest it with a significance it simply doesn’t have.
Einstein did something groundbreaking with his intelligence, but megalomaniac
psychopaths never do.
And thats just sad.
In Britain everyone does what the Queen says.
The Queen is head of all this – the MI4 Royal Guards, MI2 – Army, MI3 – Air Force, and MI1 – Navy, and has weekly meetings with the top Generals and in every mess there is a picture of the Queen whom everyone toasts.
She meets weekly with British Secret Services MI5 and MI6 from whom she gets information about her very underreported investments being the richest person on this planet.
Every week she meets with her Prime Minister.
She is toasted in every Freemasonic Hall where to be promoted, every Banker, Policeman, and Judge must be a Freemason.
So when she says get out of Europe because the Venetian Banking Center City of London, where each Royal Ancient Livery Company – like the Petrolliers Oil Companies who run Saudi Arabia and the Gulf and the Apothecaries big Pharma etc – is a separate Freemasonic Lodge, are now Agents for China, everyone jumps.
There has never been an uncorrupted vote in any election in Britain so if there was Brexit, the Queen fixed it for them..
I don’t share your view on the absolute power of the Queen in Britain. I figure they would “love” to have that absolute power. But while they do have “influence”,since the 17th century the elites have taken the absolute power from the British Monarchy.
@ Uncle Bob:
“But on a more serious note, the 1st part of the post is I think just more proof that British “officialdom” is planning to get out of Brexit. They will “stall, stall, stall” as long as possible .And once people have almost forgotten about it [etc]”
Oh! I wish I could disagree with you. As soon as May (now nicknamed: Sharia May) got into the PM position, backed by virtually all the MSM and their pundits, I knew the Brexit project was out of the window before it even begun.
At the moment… there are plenty of distractions (pacifiers?) for the plebs to not express their anger… 1- Parliament is off on holidays for a month (that’s the whole of August, btw. On top of all the other holidays they get, like in X-mass time [that‘s another full month off] and Easter… don’t get me started) 2- the bread & circus the Olympics are providing the populous with, are proving to be somewhat effective to crush popular discontent 3- As soon as this god forsaken Olympics are over, the Para-Olympics will start, and if that’s not enough to keep you distracted, some kind of international European football competition will kick-in at around the same time.
I’m sure it’s all just one big coincidence. Nothing to worry about :/

New Work by Eric Tymoigne: Towards a Heterodox Perspective on Money, Banking, & Macroeconomics
Posted on August 27, 2016 by davidmfields
By Eric Tymoigne
This work covers banking, central banking, macroeconomic topics, and money in a completely different way than the typical text with a focus on balance sheet: Gone is the money multiplier theory, gone in the financial intermediary theory of banks, gone is the idea that central bank control monetary aggregates, gone is the idea that finance is neutral in any range of time, and gone is the idea that nominal values are irrelevant. Preoccupations about monetary gains, solvency and liquidity are central to the dynamics of capitalism, and finance is not constrained by the amount of saving. Financial interdependence are emphasized, the “money” topic (usually just an after thought at the beginning of chapter 1) now takes three chapters and is fully integrated with the rest of the text.

[“Central bank independence is a core principle of neoliberalism that is at odds with both economic liberalism (laissez-faire) and democracy. It is also at odds with a managed economy, where the purpose of management is public purpose. Central bank independence with respect to monetary policy is a command system that acts chiefly in support of finance capital.” (Mikenormaneconomics.com)]

Whom does the Bank of Russia serve? At the moment, the Bank of Russia is not subject to the Russian government, but acts “independently”. This means that its actions are not necessarily for the benefit of the Russian people or the Russian state. Actually, most of what the Bank of Russia has been doing over the past years is contrary to the interests of Russia. Its high interest rates reduce the will and opportunities of Russian industrialists to invest in Russian industry and the economy, thus rendering the country more dependent on foreign banks and foreign credit for development. Continually buying American state bonds strengthens the US economy, not Russia’s. This lack of state control over the Bank of Russia is dangerous and counterproductive. Even most of the Russian oligarchs should understand this fact. The bank’s separation from the state was achieved during the catastrophic Yeltsin years, when liberal traitors sold out the whole country. This was done for the benefit of the USA and foreign banks, not for the benefit of Russia. It was done to keep Russia down as a Third World country, as a mere exporter of natural resources without its own industrial production.
President Putin must immediately take back control over the Bank of Russia and monetary policy. This can be done by collecting a 2/3 majority in the Duma and passing an emergency law that re-subjugates the Bank of Russia to government. Then, the Bank of Russia would cease to work for foreign bankers and governments and start working for Russia. I am sure that the opposition parties would support such a step, as would even the oligarchs and businessmen (if they are not bought by USA) insofar as such would benefit business and investments. Just look at the Chinese. They also have bankers and oligarch-businessmen too, but they are Chinese first and foremost, and proud of it. They do not betray China for dollars. I hope the Russians can be as patriotic as they are, and then Russia will be stronger, which is good for Novorossia too!
Now, of course, business is business, but business cannot be done properly with people who want to kill you, destroy your people, and only try to fool you. I hope president Putin understands this. The Western countries with whom Russia has done “business”, particularly the USA, are not our “friends” or “partners”. Such “friends” or “partners” can only be enemies. Whey see the world in the following way: first comes the US, then England (and other English-speaking countries), then Germany, France, the rest of Southern Europe, and then the Baltics, Eastern Europe, and the Balkans. Then they place Russia at the very bottom, together with Africa, South America, and Third World countries. This is the place that liberal traitors want for Russia. They must be neutralized. I also hope the President Putin has realized that any concessions to the West only bring Russia more trouble, not benefits.
Because of these facts, it is important for Russia to continue and even accelerate its shift in business-orientation from the European Union (who are actually slaves of the USA) towards the free countries in Asia, first and foremost, of course, China, and India, but also towards Turkey, Iran and Indonesia. The countries of South America such as Brazil as well as Argentina and Venezuela should be considered new preferential trading partners. Such a “gravity switch” in economic relations would weaken the euro and the dollar while strengthening the ruble and yuan and opening the way for a new international currency that could be called the “RUAN” (RUble + yuAN). This name also leaves room for ReAl (Brazil) and RUple (India) to form a genuinely new world currency backed by industrial power, natural resources, and gold.
As anyone can see, I am in fact speaking of the BRICS countries who are already considering this move. All trade between these countries should be in “RUAN”, in the currency of the countries involved, or in gold. Russia must also stop buying American state bonds and if, on top of that, Russia announces a decision to replace SWIFT (international banking transaction system) as soon as possible (in stead of letting the West use it for blackmail), then this would really mean the start of a new, multipolar world. The other BRICS countries will surely prefer to use a new international banking transaction system – at least between themselves and with any other country that wants to reclaim its economic and political independence from the West. The countries of the Customs Union would also use the “RUAN” and a new international banking transaction system.
Now, how would all of this benefit Novorossia? The answer is obvious. By detaching Russia from the dollar (and the euro), the sanctions that are imposed to hinder Russia from helping Novorossia lose most of their effect. Russian aid to Novorossia could increase decisively. This can be done more quickly than most people want to admit – even in this year, 2016, already. Most, if not all of what was said above could become a reality. In the meantime, it is extremely important to support Donbass and Novorossia to the extent that the militia, the Novorossian Armed Forces, can begin the liberation of the parts of Donbass occupied by the Kiev Nazi Junta as well as liberate the other 6 occupied oblasts. The conflict must not “freeze” – it must move westwards! Russia has no obligation to “de-Nazify” Galicia or liberate anything Northwest of the Dnepr – let the West take care of the Nazis and fascists that they have created themselves. But Russia has every right and a moral obligation to contribute actively and decisively to the liberation of all of Novorossia, all the lands East of the Dnepr, as well as Transnistria. The majority of people in these parts remain under occupation by the same sort of regime which attempted to destroy all of Russia and Ukraine in the USSR in the Great Patriotic War. Let us never forget this for a single moment!
[The above quote on the central bank by Mike Norman belongs with this article]
What an excellent comment. I have to agree totally with it.
” Just look at the Chinese. They also have bankers and oligarch-businessmen too, but they are Chinese first and foremost, and proud of it. They do not betray China for dollars. I hope the Russians can be as patriotic as they are, and then Russia will be stronger, which is good for Novorossia too! ”
the chinese oligarchs are not jews. according to amy chua, 7 out the 8 oligarchs who plundered Russia, after the sovietunion, were jews (khodorkovsky, berezovsky et.al.)… the question is, when someone has dual citizenship ( e.g. usa and israel ) where do their first loyalties lie.. are they ‘ israel first-ers ‘ ?
e.g. ” Jonathan Jay Pollard [right] was an American-Israeli citizen who worked for the US government. He is well known because he stole more secrets from the U.S. than has any other spy in American history. During his interrogation Pollard said he felt compelled to put the “interests of my state” ahead of his own. Although as a U.S. Navy counter-intelligence specialist he had a top-secret security clearance, by “my state” he meant the state of Israel……..
Ben-Ami Kadish, a Connecticut-born U.S. dual citizen who worked in New Jersey was arrested and charged with giving top secret nuclear information and details about the US Patriot Missile to an Israeli agent — the same agent involved with the Jay Pollard case. The espionage charges reportedly stem from acts committed in the 1980s. These activities, like the ones with convicted spy Pollard, were immediately denied by Israel (Pollard pleaded guilty in 1986). It is further reported that Israeli officials instructed Kadish to lie to US investigators. “

List of Politicians with Israeli Dual Citizenship –
22 June 2011 at 04:12
Dual Citizenship — Loyal to Whom?
by Dan Eden
So, you might ask, are there any other dual Israel-American citizens who hold US government positions that could compromise American security? Yes. Consider the following list that I obtained on the web:
Michael Mukasey
Recently appointed as US Attorney General. Mukasey also was the judge in the litigation between developer Larry Silverstein and several insurance companies arising from the destruction of the World Trade Center.
Michael Chertoff
Former Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division, at the Justice Department; now head of Homeland Security.
Richard Perle
One of Bush’s foreign policy advisors, he is the chairman of the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board. A very likely Israeli government agent, Perle was expelled from Senator Henry Jackson’s office in the 1970’s after the National Security Agency (NSA) caught him passing Highly-Classified (National Security) documents to the Israeli Embassy. He later worked for the Israeli weapons firm, Soltam. Perle came from one the above mentioned pro-Israel thinktanks, the AEI. Perle is one of the leading pro-Israeli fanatics leading this Iraq war mongering within the administration and now in the media.
Paul Wolfowitz
Former Deputy Defense Secretary, and member of Perle’s Defense Policy Board, in the Pentagon. Wolfowitz is a close associate of Perle, and reportedly has close ties to the Israeli military. His sister lives in Israel. Wolfowitz came from the above mentioned Jewish thinktank, JINSA. Wolfowitz was the number two leader within the administration behind this Iraq war mongering. He later was appointed head of the World Bank but resigned under pressure from World Bank members over a scandal involving his misuse of power.
Douglas Feith
Under Secretary of Defense and Policy Advisor at the Pentagon. He is a close associate of Perle and served as his Special Counsel. Like Perle and the others, Feith is a pro-Israel extremist, who has advocated anti-Arab policies in the past. He is closely associated with the extremist group, the Zionist Organization of America, which even attacks Jews that don’t agree with its extremist views. Feith frequently speaks at ZOA conferences. Feith runs a small law firm, Feith and Zell, which only has one International office, in Israel. The majority of their legal work is representing Israeli interests. His firm’s own website stated, prior to his appointment, that Feith “represents Israeli Armaments Manufacturer.” Feith basically represents the Israeli War Machine. Feith also came from the Jewish thinktank JINSA. Feith, like Perle and Wolfowitz, are campaigning hard for this Israeli proxy war against Iraq.
Lawrence (Larry) Franklin
The former Defense Intelligence Agency analyst with expertise in Iranian policy issues who worked in the office of Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith and reported directly to Feith’s deputy, William Luti, was sentenced January 20, 2006, “to more than 12 years in prison for giving classified information to an Israeli diplomat” and members of the pro-Israel lobbying group American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
Franklin will “remain free while the government continues with the wider case” and his “prison time could be sharply reduced in return for his help in prosecuting” former AIPAC members Steven J. Rosen and Keith Weissman, [who] are scheduled to go on trial in April [2006]. Franklin admitted that he met periodically with Rosen and Weissman between 2002 and 2004 and discussed classified information, including information about potential attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq. Rosen and Weissman would later share what they learned with reporters and Israeli officials.” (source: sourcewatch.com).
Edward Luttwak
Member of the National Security Study Group of the Department of Defence at the Pentagon. Luttwak is reportedly an Israeli citizen and has taught in Israel. He frequently writes for Israeli and pro-Israeli newspapers and journals. Luttwak is an Israeli extremist whose main theme in many of his articles is the necessity of the U.S. waging war against Iraq and Iran.
Henry Kissinger
One of many Pentagon Advisors, Kissinger sits on the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board under Perle. For detailed information about Kissinger’s evil past, read Seymour Hersch’s book (Price of Power: Kissinger in the Nixon White House). Kissinger likely had a part in the Watergate crimes, Southeast Asia mass murders (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos), Installing Chilean mass murdering dictator Pinochet, Operation Condor’s mass killings in South America, and more recently served as Serbia’s Ex-Dictator Slobodan Milosevic’s Advisor. He consistently advocated going to war against Iraq. Kissinger is the Ariel Sharon of the U.S. Unfortunately, President Bush nominated Kissinger as chairman of the September 11 investigating commission. It’s like picking a bank robber to investigate a fraud scandal. He later declined this job under enormous protests.
Dov Zakheim
Dov Zakheim is an ordained rabbi and reportedly holds Israeli citizenship. Zakheim attended Jew’s College in London and became an ordained Orthodox Jewish Rabbi in 1973. He was adjunct professor at New York’s Jewish Yeshiva University. Zakheim is close to the Israeli lobby.
Dov Zakheim is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and in 2000 a co-author of the Project for the New American Century’s position paper, Rebuilding America’s Defenses, advocating the necessity for a Pearl-Harbor-like incident to mobilize the country into war with its enemies, mostly Middle Eastern Muslim nations.
He was appointed by Bush as Pentagon Comptroller from May 4, 2001 to March 10, 2004. At that time he was unable to explain the disappearance of $1 trillion dollars. Actually, nearly three years earlier, Donald Rumsfeld announced on September 10, 2001 that an audit discovered $2.3 trillion was also missing from the Pentagon books. That story, as mentioned, was buried under 9-11’s rubble. The two sums disappeared on Zakheim’s watch. We can only guess where that cash went.
Despite these suspicions, on May 6, 2004, Zakheim took a lucrative position at Booz Allen Hamilton, one of the most prestigious strategy consulting firms in the world. One of its clients then was Blessed Relief, a charity said to be a front for Osama bin Laden. Booz, Allen & Hamilton then also worked closely with DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is the research arm of the Department of Defense.
Judicial Inc’s bio of Dov tells us Zakheim is a dual Israeli/American citizen and has been tracking the halls of US government for 25 years, casting defense policy and influence on Presidents Reagan, Clinton, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. Judicial Inc points out that most of Israel’s armaments were gotten thanks to him. Squads of US F-16 and F-15 were classified military surplus and sold to Israel at a fraction of their value.
Kenneth Adelman
One of many Pentagon Advisors, Adelman also sits on the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board under Perle, and is another extremist pro-Israel advisor, who supported going to war against Iraq. Adelman frequently is a guest on Fox News, and often expresses extremist and often ridiculus anti-Arab and anti-Muslim views. Through his racism or ignorance, he actually called Arabs “anti-Semitic” on Fox News (11/28/2001), when he could have looked it up in the dictionary to find out that Arabs by definition are Semites.
I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby
Vice President Dick Cheney’s ex-Chief of Staff. As chief pro-Israel Jewish advisor to Cheney, it helps explains why Cheney is so gun-ho to invade Iran. Libby is longtime associate of Wolfowitz. Libby was also a lawyer for convicted felon and Israeli spy Marc Rich, whom Clinton pardoned, in his last days as president. Libby was recently found guilty of lying to Federal investigators in the Valerie Plame affair, in which Plame, a covert CIA agent, was exposed for political revenge by the Bush administration following her husband’s revelations about the lies leading to the Iraq War.
Robert Satloff
U.S. National Security Council Advisor, Satloff was the executive director of the Israeli lobby’s “think tank,” Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Many of the Israeli lobby’s “experts” come from this front group, like Martin Indyk.
Elliott Abrams
National Security Council Advisor. He previously worked at Washington-based “Think Tank” Ethics and Public Policy Center. During the Reagan Adminstration, Abrams was the Assistant Secretary of State, handling, for the most part, Latin American affairs. He played an important role in the Iran-Contra Scandal, which involved illegally selling U.S. weapons to Iran to fight Iraq, and illegally funding the contra rebels fighting to overthrow Nicaragua’s Sandinista government. He also actively deceived three congressional committees about his involvement and thereby faced felony charges based on his testimony. Abrams pled guilty in 1991 to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to a year’s probation and 100 hours of community service. A year later, former President Bush (Senior) granted Abrams a full pardon. He was one of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the Reagan Administration’s State Department.
Marc Grossman
Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs. He was Director General of the Foreign Service and Director of Human Resources at the Department of State. Grossman is one of many of the pro-Israel Jewish officials from the Clinton Administration that Bush has promoted to higher posts.
Richard Haass
Director of Policy Planning at the State Department and Ambassador at large. He is also Director of National Security Programs and Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). He was one of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the first Bush (Sr) Administration who sat on the National Security Council, and who consistently advocated going to war against Iraq. Haass is also a member of the Defense Department’s National Security Study Group, at the Pentagon.
Robert Zoellick
U.S. Trade Representative, a cabinet-level position. He is also one of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the Bush (Jr) Administration who advocated invading Iraq and occupying a portion of the country in order to set up a Vichy-style puppet government. He consistently advocates going to war against Iran.
Ari Fleischer
Ex- White House Spokesman for the Bush (Jr) Administration. Prominent in the Jewish community, some reports state that he holds Israeli citizenship. Fleischer is closely connected to the extremist Jewish group called the Chabad Lubavitch Hasidics, who follow the Qabala, and hold very extremist and insulting views of non-Jews. Fleischer was the co-president of Chabad’s Capitol Jewish Forum. He received the Young Leadership Award from the American Friends of Lubavitch in October, 2001.
James Schlesinger
One of many Pentagon Advisors, Schlesinger also sits on the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board under Perle and is another extremist pro-Israel advisor, who supported going to war against Iraq. Schlesinger is also a commissioner of the Defense Department’s National Security Study Group, at the Pentagon.
David Frum
White House speechwriter behind the “Axis of Evil” label. He lumped together all the lies and accusations against Iraq for Bush to justify the war.
Joshua Bolten
White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Bolten was previously a banker, former legislative aide, and prominent in the Jewish community.
John Bolton
Former UN Representative and Under-Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security. Bolton is also a Senior Advisor to President Bush. Prior to this position, Bolton was Senior Vice President of the above mentioned pro-Israel thinktank, AEI. He recently (October 2002) accused Syria of having a nuclear program, so that they can attack Syria after Iraq. He must have forgotten that Israel has 400 nuclear warheads, some of which are thermonuclear weapons (according to a recent U.S. Air Force report).
David Wurmser
Special Assistant to John Bolton (above), the under-secretary for arms control and international security. Wurmser also worked at the AEI with Perle and Bolton. His wife, Meyrav Wurmser, along with Colonel Yigal Carmon, formerly of Israeli military intelligence, co-founded the Middle East Media Research Institute (Memri),a Washington-based Israeli outfit which distributes articles translated from Arabic newspapers portraying Arabs in a bad light.
Eliot Cohen
Member of the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board under Perle and is another extremist pro-Israel advisor. Like Adelman, he often expresses extremist and often ridiculus anti-Arab and anti-Muslim views. More recently, he wrote an opinion article in the Wall Street Journal openly admitting his rascist hatred of Islam claiming that Islam should be the enemy, not terrorism.
Mel Sembler
President of the Export-Import Bank of the United States. A Prominent Jewish Republican and Former National Finance Chairman of the Republican National Committee. The Export-Import Bank facilitates trade relationships between U.S. businesses and foreign countries, specifically those with financial problems.
Steve Goldsmith
Senior Advisor to the President, and Bush’s Jewish domestic policy advisor. He also served as liaison in the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (White House OFBCI) within the Executive Office of the President. He was the former mayor of Indianapolis. He is also friends with Israeli Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Olmert and often visits Israel to coach mayors on privatization initiatives.
Adam Goldman
White House’s Special Liaison to the Jewish Community.
Joseph Gildenhorn
Bush Campaign’s Special Liaison to the Jewish Community. He was the DC finance chairman for the Bush campaign, as well as campaign coordinator, and former ambassador to Switzerland.

I don’t know about you, but dual citizenship is fine with me for an ordinary citizen. But if you hold an official position that demands that you put American interests above all else — if you should look transparent and fair to the rest of the world regarding your formation of Middle East foreign policies, then this is a dangerous trend. Even if there were no pro-Israeli agenda, the fact that decision makers have a bias or an allegiance to one of the parties involved in the current conflict should have raised red flags long before now.
If you think we’re being unfair here, ask yourself: How you would react to the Head of Homeland Security if he or she were a dual national with citizenship in Iran, Lebanon or Saudi Arabia? Ask yourself why you don’t feel the same about Israeli dual citizenship. Then you will understand how powerful the Israeli lobby has been in “adjusting” your acceptance of their special status.

Useful compilation, excellent find. Thanks.
That really is a very important issue. And not “just” for the US. Why would a nation,”any nation”, permit people to hold positions in their governments (let alone high positions) that have dual-citizenship with another nation. Even if you considered that nation as an ally or friend. People who are supposed to be loyal to your nation could never be trusted if they hold citizenship with another country. You could never be certain to which state their loyalty would lay. Immigrants or children of immigrants are another story.If they have renounced their old nation.And taken citizenship in your nation. Then under most nations laws they are now your “fellow citizens”. But by holding “dual citizenship” that says that they don’t consider themselves a part of your nation. But only “half” a part of your nation. Which of course means they could only be “half-loyal” to your nation. I doubt most nation’s citizens feel that “half-loyal” is good enough for someone having power in their nation.

Another way to see this move by Erdo into the future province surely to be named after him (erdostan? sultanstan?) as somewhat impromptu & forced on him in an ultimatum by one side or the other is that he has not yet locked down Turkeystan to his liking from the coup days of 6 weeks ago.

A Turkish court on Saturday placed under arrest three former top diplomats, including an advisor to ex-president Abdullah Gul, over links to the failed July 15 coup, state media said.
Today 27th there was a rocket attack in a Turk town on the airport, & in a display of UFB incompetence & recklessness, the local unterfuhrers herded up the sheep INTO the main terminal building for ‘safety’ (where a lucky hit could produce hundreds of casualties), instead of dispersing them where the 99.9% open space outdoors nearly guarantees a miss every time.
Erdostan. Sultanstan. Turkeystan.
Lol!

And ‘GrabAstan’ (Why not? They’re just lying there, ripe for the picking…)
But what about Putinstan?

Leaked Memos Show George Soros Plotted to Oust Putin, Destabilize Russia
http://sputniknews.com/russia/20160828/1044703488/soros-memo-oust-putin-russia.html
“The recent DC Leaks document dump of over 2,500 documents from George Soros’ Open Society Foundations illustrates a disturbing trend by the billionaire of using his wealth and influence to sow chaos across the world in a bid to profit off of global suffering and impose neoliberal ideas on an international scale.
The document proceeded to provide an extensive bullet point list of “what must be done” in order to destabilize Russia including working to flood the country with migrants and influencing the country’s media operations. The memo was followed up with what was called “the Russia Project” which called for identifying and organizing opponents to Putin, advancing principles of globalism, and undermine Russia’s image in the lead up to the Sochi Winter Olympics.”
Pussy Riot — the Soros harridans that didn’t try their luck at the Maidan two years later. Maybe a wise decision on their (that is Soros’s) part. Drooling Russian punks might had been too much for the Ukronazis, the latter trashing the putsch in blind rage and fury.

Dear Eimar,
I can only decode half of your comment, do you understand, you are fluent in English and you treat people like that?. You are using language abilities to beat on me. You have no idea how I with blood and tears had to learn three foreign languages without being asked for permission.
What I honestly can tell you is that German and French are precise languages, while English is mostly good for literature and politics. Propaganda. What I say about French is also true for other Latin languages.
When I worked as a translator, I only once stumbled on one, say one, precise manual in English.
When I learned a little Russian I got in contact with a much richer language than English.
English has a basic Norwegian grammar, which is good, but the many words from many languages make nuances difficult to understand. As I see it, Englishmen talk and talk just like our women, but what do they say? Nada, niente, rien, nietchevo. What is the difference between gail, storm and tempest? If you look at wind, window, winding (as from a well), you find a good understanding in the North, but not in English.
I am getting irritated. You can stuff your English culture where it belongs and it is not in Scandinavia or Russia. Not in the multipolar world.
Easy! Calma in the Cafe!
Eimar is using Irish/Gaelic at the end https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiocfaidh_%C3%A1r_l%C3%A1
Seems something to do with freedom, not irritating anyone.
You can’t get much more anti-English than the true Irish patriot!
Mullet, I didn’t know either, from California and being quite uninterested in popular culture trends, haircuts, etc. but turns out it is a haircut for men, short in front and very long in back.
I appreciate your musical contributions.
English was made for punning and “green language” more than any other. And for irritating the heck out of nearly everyone that does not delight in such subtle or “in your face” mockery.
So your irritation is understandable. But here we are in a Russian Vineyard in the USA (It ain’t the only one: https://youtu.be/rZJkrRv7jQk and https://youtu.be/mkGvE2UGyaI ) for the purpose of using English to get Amercans to stop the Empire’s War on Russia and themselves.
Huh??!!
Dude, you’ve got it *all* wrong.
I have the greatest *respect* for the multi-lingual, especially translators ( an art in the hands of the best, not only a high-level skill)
English is not my culture though the language is predominantly spoken here. I didn’t speak it much for the first four years of my life.
My comment was a joke about Viktor’s hairdo. (Ever heard the claim by fashionistas that the seventies was the decade ‘style forgot?’ Not that I give a hoot , personally. They looked like they were thoroughly enjoying themselves :-)
Re your points about the lack of precision in English: completely agree.
That lends it to unparalleled sophistry. I often think of it as the language of lawyers/liars, while German is the language of philosophers.
The mindless rhetoric of public discourse in America – especially irrational ideologies like ‘transgenderism’ – is a case in point.
But the French influence of post-modernism must take a fair share of the blame for making utter nonsense ‘respectable’: they recently awarded that specious academic twit, Judith Butler, a prize for her po-mo drivel.
Michael Hudson made a similar point to yours about linguistic precision in a review of a recent ‘history-of-finance’ book.
Will post a link when I find it.
Cheers!!

http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2016/08/25/syrian-flashpoint/
“Instead of confronting the Russian military in Crimea, the NATO-crats are choosing to make Syria the battlefield, where Russian troops will have trouble making an appearance.”
Yesterday night, for once since long ago, the TV catched my attention, it was a film really worth the view on life, God, eternity, love, resistance…….:
In Spanish:
“Tren nocturno a Lisboa”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp143xEGV9k
In English:
“Night train to Lisbon”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMfLEy_CaSc
Enjoy!
Many thanks for the goooood recommendation !
Instead of train rhythms bringing sleep (the railroad segment only lasted seconds…..) I was riveted awake by a very compelling story, rich in all kinds of relevant allegory. I just wish I knew more about the political backdrop to the movie, the anti-Salazar resistance and how that fit in (and still fits in??) to the global strategic picture.
Interesting how the professor, apparently in his late 50’s, achieves balance and completion for the first time in his life by “accidents” such as bumping into the beautiful young student on the bridge, the student leaving coat with book behind in his classroom, the book leading to a night train to Lisbon, another “accident” there with the bike rider crashing into him and breaking his glasses, etc, etc.
And you know he will finally “get it” and stay in Lisbon, and really begin to “live” as he himself put it about Amadeo, his pharmacist friend, their common revolutionary heroine love, and a few others. So many accidents are no accident.
Very well done!
Read an English translation about four years ago – very compelling.
Didn’t know it had been made into a film.
Wouldn’t go near a Hollywood version, but this is not the case here.
Thanks for the recommendation Fatima.
Ps. Strongly recommend Gregory Roberts ‘Shantaram’ for anyone unaware of it.
The natural diversity of the human species gene pool become dependent on human genetically engineered organisms (DNA genes humanly deformed to exclude self replacement), eaten from the GMO plants resulting from planting the non replaceable seeds, creates generations of artificially created, actually non-human, deformed insect, deformed animal species that normally self destruct as they are unable to replicate themselves. Those replacement genes have been humanly removed.
Removed not to increase profits at all but to create a self annihilating force for change (self genocidal)
as the West has embraced an impossible goal of a globe holding a Master race a one billion master race (see Third Reich Nazi-ism explained, promoted).
GMO producing seeds were first researched seriously in the Nazi Holocaust prisons, later stolen by the Americans by giving free land and lives to Nazi officials in return for that ‘safety’. Tested by the US on the burgeoning US prison population which had to be privatised to continue the DNA research uninterruptedly. 9/11 had to be supported and planned in order to remove all US laws in order to begin spreading DNA open research and implantations and births globally. US Mr. Soros’ arm of construction and minute control of all European elections enabled the US hegemony control over European officials agreeing to such DNA control in all positions of supreme power. They still hold this power as long as Mrs William Clinton is globally allowed to lead the world by way of waning US power structures…including clearly genocidal wars.
a third and supposedly last of my Sunday sermons:
“Everything that man conceives as God is a psychic image, and it is no less an image even if he asseverates a thousand times that it is not an image.
If it were not, he would be unable to conceive anything at all.
That is why Meister Eckhart says, quite rightly, “God is pure nothing.”” (JUNG)
An who knows if nothing isn’t something, but invisual with physic eyes?

Unfortunately not available in English but yes in several other languages, this interesting article from Red Voltaire. In Spanish, translated only the title.
“After the image of the child Omran Daqneesh”

For London, propaganda is an art

I wonder why in this blog where there are several authors reporting from the very Middle East and besides we have the daily reports from SouthFront, any of these have told a word about the so called NGO “White Helmets”…..
Regarding the white helmets, if I recall correctly, there was a comment with link here in the cafe quite a while ago. The link pointed to a video warning that the NGO has close ties with the head-choppers.
I’ve been aware the White Helmets are a propaganda outfit for at least a year..
They are linked to the immigration racket and possibly British secret services.
Also with the FSA.
At least people are beginning to doubt much of the ‘humanitarian’ reports that are obviously political – the widespread dislike and distrust of Soros and his ilk is raising scepticism. And the MSM is clearly propagandist, so further eroding the emotional impact of these psyops.

Here is a poem by Goethe from his collection of poems called the West-Eastern Divan.
He says in different way what the poem that I posted below is saying.
(The West Eastern-Divide Orchestra Daniel Barenboim named after these poems!)
https://youtu.be/JKUdWAR5x2g
Tell it no one but the wise,
The crowd will only jeer:
The living thing I praise,
That longs for death by fire.
Cooling, in those nights of love,
Conceiving as you were conceived,
A strange emotion fills you
While the quiet candle gleams.
You’re no longer in the grasp
Of shadows, darkening,
A new desire lifts you up
On to a higher mating.
No distances can weigh you down,
Enchanted you come flying,
And greedy for the light, at last,
A moth, you burn in dying.
And as long as you lack this
True word: Die and Become!
You’ll be but a dismal guest
In Earth’s darkened room.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Thanks for initiating the Goethe thread.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element.
It is my personal approach that creates the climate.
It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
I possess tremendous power to make a life miserable or joyous.
I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration.
I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal.
In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or deescalated, and a person is humanized or dehumanized.
If we treat people as they are, we make them worse.
If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming.
Many thanks for sharing it !
Anonymus you touch me,
thank you for
Goethes “Blessed Desire”
I always thought
always avoid
an only half-hearted flight
because a half-hearted flight
into the light
might be the flight
into the plight
You are welcome.
Correction to the orchestra name, which is West–Eastern Divan Orchestra, not Divide – the opposite – he is bringing together! Rejoice Goethe, you are here with the great Barenboim!!
Phoenix
Are you willing to be sponged out, erased, cancelled,
made nothing?
Are you willing to be made nothing?
dipped into oblivion?
If not, you will never really change.
The phoenix renews her youth
only when she is burnt, burnt alive, burnt down
to hot and flocculent ash.
Then the small stirring of a new small bub in the nest
with strands of down like floating ash
shows that she is renewing her youth like the eagle,
immortal bird.

Now the Wall Street Journal has its “no fly zone” in N. Syria which it proposed publicly well over a year ago. Let us hope the Russians do not let the NWO outmaneuver them in the situation which will develop out of this: Operation Soft Underbelly is alive and well.

someone another post gave example of Germany turning because there was a recent planted story in a major rag there, rabidly pro-zio, that admitted to some past “policy errors” in their support onside of ZATOs wars.
didn’t germany actually supply troops allied with the Clingon war rampage & death spree through
the balkans late 1990’s?
then there’s that hemming/hawing over that contingent (about 250) of germans stationed in Turkey, that under pretense of their inspection experts not being allowed access, threatening to relocate those 250.
here’s another example, from the industrial/business magnates there:
http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2016/08/28/482114/Germany-says-TTIP-talks-with-US-failed
Germany says negotiations between the European Union and the United States over a free trade agreement have failed.
Germany’s Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel told reporters that the talks had failed to make progress on any of the major sections of the long-running negotiations over the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, or TTIP.
Israel?
Their quest for Lebensraum makes them a dirty little country but without the US backing they are a piss-ant.
AIPAC? Half the AIPAC lobby are singalong talk in tongues type who believe the Israelites are gods chosen people.
Israel has leverage over the US only because a fair percentage of US voters think the Isralites are gods chosen people rather than the zionists having total control over the US government against the wishes of US voters.
Russia is a democracy. Putin is the popular leader by far.
Turkey is a democracy. Erdogan is the popular leader.
US is a….. Clinton is the anointed and will become president.
Do not confuse democracy with words like humanitarian and human rights. They are separate issues.
Always respect the abilities of the enemy.
The four eyed nips (propaganda of the day) sunk the us fleet at pearl harbour and took the empires impregnable fortress of Singapore with ease.
Although the Japanese did not win, the world now has nukes.
How many suicide bombers about with Nukes?
For Russia mutually assured destruction is the last resort.
For the US, with a history of never being invaded or defeated in their homeland in their short history, have the belief that they will prevail even in mutually assured destruct.
Russia/China are dealing with a suicide bomber.
Your Majesty,
I lately pass’d through Flanders and Brabant,
So many rich and blooming provinces,
Fill’d with a valiant, great, and honest people
To be the father of a race like this,
I thought must be divine indeed! and then
I stumbled on a heap of burnt men’s bones!
. . .
True, you are forced to act so; but that you
Could dare fulfil your task—this fills my soul
With shuddering horror! O ’tis pity that
The victim, weltering in his blood must cease
To chant the praises of his sacrificer!
And that mere men—not beings loftier far—
Should write the history of the world. But soon
A milder age will follow that of Philip,
An age of truer wisdom:—hand in hand,
The subjects’ welfare, and the sovereign’s greatness,
Will walk in union. Then the careful state
Will spare her children, and necessity
No longer glory to be thus inhuman.

Someone here asked if anyone was watching the moon any more, about a week or two ago. I had no time to answer.
I was watching it by intent 2-6 months ago, but since early July it is built in, by default. I didn’t choose the new abode for this feature, but when I glance to my right when lying in bed, the eastern horizon is there across a several miles wide valley. Before sleep, or upon waking, usually before dawn, a glance at the horizon is virtually automatic, with ease, through a large picture window with nothing but air between it and the horizon several miles away across the valley.
Today, at 6:00 am a sliver of a new moon rose in the east, about 45 minutes before the sun, which must have caught up to it and blinded us to its presence above us much of the day quite early in the morning. I think about what and when it will be in the same spot tomorrow.
I also notice planets “rising” in the darkness pre-dawn or at night before bed, but I don’t know which is there in the early dawn or predawn or pre-midnight sky, and which are somewhere else. That will take more time and astronomical resources than I have in summer 2016, but I certainly have the horizontal observatory platform in place for that!
44 years ago a sailor hippie dropped me off on a desert island over the horizon from Key West (about 90 miles from Cuba) and came back for me a week later. This was an extensive, solitary night sky experience for a week, then interrupted by decades of mostly ignoring the sky. One thing I was startled to experience was that Venus was bright enough to casts its reflection upon the calm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, just like the moon. I was several miles west of Key West, on the Gulf side of the Florida Keys, in shallow waters with some deeper channels. So the “rising” of celestial objects in the east was in the direction of KW and Cuba, but over waters frequently mirror-like, which would not exist in Key West looking east over the much deeper and rougher Atlantic waters.
I’ll watch for your english version this Wednesday, and learn more about the sky, so I can ensure that the boys be 50 years ahead of me, in this and many other things. Danke shoen!
The US embassy in Buenos Aires at the time knew otherwise: Argentina’s military quickly eliminated the few hundred guerrillas who had been involved in lethal action, before they began to murder thousands of other young people unconnected to any violent activity. “Few who have disappeared since about mid-1977 could be considered terrorists or security threats,” reads a US state department cable recently declassified by Barack Obama after his visit to Argentina in March.
The killing numbers also refute any notion of a war. In a 1980 report titled “Terrorism in Argentina”, the dictatorship estimated that guerrillas killed only 687 people during the entire 1970s, compared with the 22,000 people the dictatorship told Chilean intelligence it had killed by 1978 alone. As many as 30 to 40,000 men and women were raped, tortured and their children, born in custody given to army families.
At the Esma death camp in the capital city of Buenos Aires at least 3,000 civilians were mercilessly tortured, murdered and thrown out of planes over the atlantic. by the dictatorship.
Denial is the natural choice of those with no heart and no humanity, who lack the guts to confront evil. It is the currency of the mob, who find certain truths too “inconvenient” to recognise yet merrily slander and attack those with the guts to remind them of that truth. It is the home of the morally shallow, who look the other way when evil is done and rush to sweep unpalatable truths beneath the carpet.
Deniers cling to the coat tails of thugs, bullies, “authority”, authoritarian politicians (of church and state), powerful business moguls, military regimes and, ultimately, of dictators – because it makes them feel secure and because they have no compassion. This widespread, pathological trait is ever apparent among those whose buddies/relatives have been the mindless or vindictive tools of abusive leaders – they spit tacks of denial when told that innocent others have been wronged and just love the smack of a tyrannous leader.
Which is why we will never be free from tyrannical rulers and corrupt or deluded leaders – folk who live only to pull all the levers of power over others. Nor will we ever be free from the wars and genocides that those leaders will self-righteously perpetrate while riding on the backs of such amoral followers.
“They consider military repression was a good and morally unquestionable act,” he says. “To them the cold war was a religious war.” Even today Ranaletti overhears Argentinians who argue that “they should have killed them all.”
Exactly that in Brazil too, especially when it comes to soon to be ex-president Dilma. There are far too many people, dangerous amounts, who look back fondly on the dictatorship years and have conveniently forgotten the miserableness, the economic difficulties (even worse than recently under PT), and the food shortages in a country with abundant everything. There has been plenty of revisionism which seems to believe that 70s Brazil was this paradise of good organisation and economic stability rather than high inflation and ordinary people losing all their savings in currency swaps, while the military families and their enormous pensions remained the same.
Sounds like Argentina and Brazil are heading down the same hybrid war, colour revolution, path right now, the shift to a right-wing cycle is almost complete in both.
There is one thing that is True of a Democracy, and that is should be very difficult or at least it is very rare to have 100 % agreement on any matter, and if a Government demanded that All People thought exactly the same way on even one issue, then that Government would cease to be Democratic, and it would be a Dictatorship.
We have seen further Lies and Slanders from Hillary Clinton and her Campaign against Donald Trump in the Election Campaign, and it is Interesting that Hillary Clinton has said that it is Donald Trump that is a racist, rather than the Republicans.
The reason for this is that Hillary Clinton is Primarily Interested in the Presidential Campaign, rather than with the Congress or the Senate, because Hillary Clinton Knows that the Republicans and the Democrats are Essentially the same Party on things that Really matter to America’s Plutocrats, and the American Plutocrats Know that there has to be at Least 2 Political Parties to give the Illusion that America is a Democracy, and Hillary Clinton is Slandering Donald Trump as being a racist, even though he is Not racist.
The use of the terms KKKlinton and KKKaine are Legitimate for as long as the KKKorruptocrats are Wrongly accusing and Slandering Donald Trump, and Hillary Clinton would find it Difficult to say that the Republicans were racist, because the Democratic Party were once Officially the KKK Party, and there are People who think that the Democratic Party are now more Subtle and Cunning on that, because they Opt for Convenience, and we Know that Hillary KKKlinton said that she used a Clandestine Unauthorized Secret Email Server for convenience, and her running mate Tim TTP KKKaine Knows this.
We Know that in America there is Freedom of Speech, and that People can Vote for whom they like and for whatever reason they want, whether it is a properly analyzed reason or if it is an imaginary reason, and People can be Intimidated or Bribed to say what the Clintons want them to say.
If a group of Voters said that they were in favor of landing a Person on Pluto, and said that they are Voting for the Presidential Candidate that they thought would be better able to achieve that, then there is nothing any of those Presidential Candidates could say to them, because if they had been listening and Not twisting the words of a certain President Candidate, or come up with strange imaginations, then they should realize that they will have to wait for some other Candidates at a different future Election who may be interested in a manned mission to Pluto.
It is the same thing with those who think that Donald Trump is a racist, because they misinterpreted certain things he said, or because they been Deceived by the KKKlintonites.
It may or may not be the right thing to do with asking someone who is Not a Citizen, or a Refugee, or a Tourist in America, as to what they are doing there, but is Not racist to ask such as question, because every Country asks that, and so that would mean that the Entire World is racist, and if the Entire world is racist, then America should learn to live with it, but it is Not racist to ask that question, regardless of whether it is a foolish question or if it is a Legitimate question, and so Donald Trump is Not a racist.
I do Not think that one race is superior or inferior to another, because of their DNA, and there are People of any race who are superior to, and inferior to, some People of their own race and of any other race with regards to an attribute and or an achievement in one or more areas of Human character or endeavor, but they are Not superior or inferior to People of another race because of their ethnicity.
There needs to be Great Care taken when discussing the matter of race, because you could wrongly be accused of being a racist.
This is because other People can misunderstand what was said, while there are always the mischief makers who will twist what was said and Deceive People and even Deliberately Lie for their Secret Agenda.
We Know that most races have a characteristic that applies to the average Person of that race, and some races are more industrious than others, and some races like to drink alcohol more than other races, and it is Not racist to notice these things.
This is an imperfect World with imperfect People, and most People do Not think that they are superior or inferior to any other race because of their ethnicity, and they do Not hate others or wish them any harm because they are of a different race, and even if there are some People who prefer to associate only with their own race, but as long as they do Not think that they are superior or inferior to any other race because of their DNA, and they do Not hate others or wish them any harm because they are of a different race, then Many People would say that they are Not racist, because they have a Human Right to associate with who they want to for their Pursuit of Happiness.
It is Unconscionable for Hillary Clinton to campaign using Slander and Wrongly Accusing others of being racist, but Hillary Clinton does Not have a Conscience, and she is trying to say that Americans who think that Hillary Clinton is Unqualified to be President for so many reasons, are somehow racist or associated with racists, but Hillary Clinton is Lying Again As Usual.
It appears that Hillary Clinton is saying that it is right for Black People Not to associate with the KKK, even though Lawyer Bill KKKlinton and Lawyer Hillary KKKlinton could create arguments as to why it would be Racist for African Americans not to be Good Friends of the KKK, if there they thought there were more Votes in that, and when a White Person does not want to unduly associate with someone of their own race who they think has objectionable habits, then we Know that this it is Normal, and when a Person of any race does not want to unduly associate with someone of their own race who they think has objectionable habits, then we Know that this it is Normal, but when a White Person does not want to unduly associate with someone of another race who has what they think are objectionable habits, then the mischief makers Slander them as somehow being racist, rather than that this is Also Normal, and a Human Right.
We Know that if Hitler who was a Premeditated Cold Blooded Mass Murderer were alive today, then he would Endorse Hillary Clinton, because he Knows that she is just like he was, and there Many American Voters of All Races who will Endorse Hillary Clinton because they Know that she is a Warmonger.
People could use a Hitler look alike in a Political Ad, and mimic Hillary KKKlinton’s Slanderous Political Ad that tries to link Donald Trump to Alt Right and other similar groups, and have a reporter ask the Hitler look alike why he is Endorsing Hillary Clinton, and it is because Hillary Clinton is a Warmonger just like he was, and that Hitler approves of non racists being Slandered as racists, because they are the New Hitler’s Jews which are Needed for WW3 at https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/30/bf/5f/30bf5f53440175f93f102b039259a0dd.jpg , and we Know that there were a few Jews who did Collaborate with the Nazis, and there are People think that Senator Sanders has been a Deceptive Puppet of the Establishment for a long time, and there are those who once supported Senator Sanders who will Vote for the Green Party at http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/bernie-sanders-new-group-hits-major-trouble-launchpad-n636741 .
Hillary Clinton did All of her Secretary of State work on her Clandestine Unauthorized Secret Email Server, and there is one question that needs to be asked of her.
That question is that; as Secretary of State, did she Know after her Briefings with Security Officials that she would ever deal with National Secrets, given that when she was the More Dominant Co President with Bill Clinton, and Knew how to Safeguard National Secrets then and Secrets of the State of Arkansas when the Clintons were the Governors of that Arkansas, and that Bill Clinton Mentioned National Secrets every day and how to Safeguard them every day for years during the Co Presidency of the Clintons.
Hillary Clinton Knew All of these Things, and If Hillary Clinton decides to be Answer Honestly and say that she Knew All of these Things, then Criminal Intention to Commit Espionage and Treason by Hillary Clinton is Confessed, and if she said that she did not expect to Send or Receive any National Secrets as Secretary of State, then that is Evidence for Gross Negligence, which is a Also a Crime, but at the Very Least it Proves that Hillary Clinton is Unqualified to be President.
Hillary Clinton could either answer Yes, No, or I do not know to that Question, or she could Plead the Fifth Amendment, but any of those options who Disqualify her from being President, and this is because Hillary Clinton is Unqualified and Unsuitable to be President.
We Know that Hillary Clinton used her Clandestine Unauthorized Secret Email Sever for Clinton Foundation work, and these Emails Should have been given to the State Department, because there was a Agreed Requirement between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the matter of Conflict of Interest, and that Makes them Work Related Emails, and it is yet another Crime to have Deliberately and Intentionally Not given those Clinton Foundation Emails to the State Department.
This is why Hillary Clinton and her Lawyers Deleted those Emails which Proved Many Pay to Play Situations, and because there were so Many of these Emails that Proved the Guilt of the Clintons, then this is why a Team of Lawyers employed by the Clintons had to Carefully Read on those Many Emails, and they Needed a long time to Read and Delete those Emails which contained further Irrefutable Evidence of the Guilt of All of the KKKlintons, including Hillary Clinton’s daughter, and the Guilt of the Lawyers who are Accomplices after the Fact.
We can see that Hillary KKKlinton is a Very Unethical Person in Many Ways, and there are Doctors who say that she is Also Physically Sick and has dementia, and that she is too Incapacitated to face a Court Trial, and this is Proved by her Not being able to hold Press Conferences.
There will not be any Trial of Hillary Clinton, because the FBI Knows that she is too Ill to face a Trial, but as long as Hillary Clinton wants to be President, then the Congress has to pursue Hillary Clinton’s Crimes and Corruptions, because the Congress has a Duty to the American People, and so Americans want Hillary for Pension, rather than Hillary for prison, because she will be an embarrassment to American women and American men, because as the Most Corrupt Candidate ever, and only staying until a little after her inauguration, so that she can say that she was the first female President of America, and American women and American men are owed much better than that, and so if she manages to hold the Charade up until Election Day, and if she is Elected by means of a Rigged Election, then Tim TTP KKKaine will want to become President, and People can do their own Research with a Video Search of, Hillary Clinton’s Illnesses, and they could do a Video Search of Hillary Clinton Rallies are Staged Fake, even I have Not had the time and I do Not understand the Technical Hollywood Special Affects Technology, and that I do Not have an opinion, but there are People would Not put it past the Clinton Campaign to stage fake rallies, because of her Poor health, and Hillary Clinton continues to be as Unaccountable and Deceitful, and as Criminal as she can be with the American People, and we Know that the Clintons will Not tell Americans who have a Right to Know, what Hillary Clinton’s Real Medical Problems are, Exactly as she did with her Clandestine Unauthorized Secret Email Server and her Emails.
There are Americans who think that a Bankrupt America with High Real Unemployment Cannot afford to have many migrants at the moment, and does this compare to the Warmonger Hitler, and Most Americans who support Donald Trump are Not racist, because they believe that it is the Citizens who should decide who comes to America, and under what circumstances.
There are Racists who will Vote for the Democrats, because they think that the more illegal migrants there are in America, then perhaps there will be fewer African Americans in America, or perhaps Poverty and Prison Incarceration among African Americans will continue to increase, as they Know that it already has under the KKKorruptocrats, and regardless of whether or not it is Hillary Clinton’s Secret Policy towards African Americans, then these People will vote for Hillary Clinton for that Specific Reason, because they Think that they Understand that Hillary KKKlinton gives Hope to the Racists even though she uses Subtle, Cunning, and Deceptive Language, which has come to be Known as Clintonspeak, and there are Politicians who think that if they want a Voter’s vote again, and they do, then they Need to keep their Promise.
People can Vote for who they want and for what reason they want, because Much of Politics is about Perception, and the KKKorruptocrats Know this, and they will Secretly and Gladly take anyone’s Vote, even from the Gullible to the Greatest Racist, and Many American Voter have Correctly come to the Conclusion that on Many Things, it is the Opposite of what is being said by the KKKlintons that is the reality, and Unethical People, Cunningly and Wrongly accuse and Slander others for what they Themselves are Guilty of.
We can assume that Many Americans who have problems can blame other People for 50% for that, with the Clintons NAFTA as one example, and they can blame the other 50 % on themselves, and so they should do what Only they can do and work on that 50 % that depends upon themselves, but those who do Not want to do that find it Convenient to Wrongly blame others for some of their problems, and wrongly accuse them of being racists, because that is what they heard from others, and because they do Not want to do for themselves what Only they can do, while there are some Honest ones who do Not blame others for all of their problems, because they Know that they are to blame for some of their problems, and they realize that it is Not because of racism, and they do not Slander other People.
We Know that most of that illegal immigration is from Mexico, and do the American Citizens of Mexican ethnicity consider themselves to be Americans before they consider themselves to be Mexicans, and the answer is that there are differing opinions amongst them, but Many American Mexicans are Americans before they consider themselves to be Mexican, but I do Not except any ethnicity in their entirety to be perfect in that regard, and so there is a hope that the Majority would have the Proper Attitude towards their Country.
We Know that George Soros is a Democrat and a Multi Billionaire, and If I were a Plutocrat, and I wanted to Control America, then I would set up a Mainstream Media, and I would Know that the Money I Paid as Good Salaries and Secret Payments to the Corrupt Fifth Columnist Journalists would be an Investment to make a Profit on, but I would want a Guarantee from those Journalists that they would be my Puppet, and they can provide that by Volunteering to be Filmed in an Act of Bestiality or Criminality, and to avoid Embarrassment or going to Jail, then they will be my Puppet, and those who have seen how George Soros does things, then have also seen how the Hillary Clinton who Receives Campaign Donations from George Soros does things.
We have seen how the Clintons have warned their Bribed and Corrupt Puppet Journalists with Reminding them, that even as Anthony Weiner coordinated with the Clinton Campaign to act inappropriately with his texting pictures, that the Clintons have the Pictures of their Puppet Journalists, and that Fifth Columnist Journalists Need to keep being a Fifth Column for America, by trying their best to deflect the News Stories away from the Clinton Foundation Scandals at http://observer.com/2016/08/media-orgs-donate-to-clinton-foundation-then-downplay-clinton-foundation-scandal/ .
The Vote can and has been Rigged and so Voting may be a waste of time, and so People Need to Make the Mainstream Media be Honest and Accountable, and that is the Key to Reforms in America, and it has to do with the Journalists’ Statement of Integrity, which Needs to be discussed on Talkback Radio and Social Media.
There are Journalists in America, who may think that because of these and other things, and because of the Bribed and Corrupt Fifth Columnist Journalists, that they will use Journalistic Affirmative Action rather than being Totally Unbiased to help compensate for those Bribed and Corrupt Clintonite Fifth Columnist Journalists for this Election.
It was the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community who referred the Treasonous and Criminal Activities of Hillary Clinton to the FBI to Investigate, and the Inspector General did the Right thing, and it shows that Not all of the System is as Corrupt and Untrustworthy and as Inept as Hillary Clinton is.
We have seen the Greatly Rehearsed Charade of an interview that the FBI held with Hillary Clinton, and where the Questions she was asked were given to the Clintons and their Lawyers long in advance, and may even have been written up by the Department of Justice or the Clintons themselves, and it shows that it was the Clintons and their Lawyers who were the ones who were Really in Charge of that Mockery of an investigation, and where the FBI were their Servile Puppets, because the Director of the FBI was quick with what is said to be assessment of his Boss, Hillary Clinton.
We Remember the Clandestine meeting between the Attorney General and Bill Clinton, and it Could Easily Be that Bill Clinton was bringing the answers to those FBI Questions which can be described as the Clintons’ homework exercise, which Bill Clinton gave to the Attorney General and possibly a Bank Check to share with others, *and that was Funded with Clinton Foundation Money, during that Clandestine meeting, and the Attorney General passed that Clinton homework assignment onto the FBI Director, who already Knew what his Script was to be, and there are People who think that the FBI Director was Pressured to use some Deceptive language and even Lie for some reason or reasons, and why the FBI Director was able to make such a fast Statement on Hillary Clinton.
We have seen from the FBI Written in Advance Script, that Hillary Clinton has either Real Amnesia or is Faking her Selected Amnesia, because otherwise it would Incriminate her Much More than it Already does.
Perhaps Medical Experts Know if there are some People who have Selective Amnesia, but we Know that Lawyers Know that Criminals are Known to Fake their Selective Amnesia for the Obvious Reasons, but I think that Hillary Clinton’s Dementia is becoming worse, and that it is Wrong for the Corrupt Undemocratic National Committee or UNC rather than the DNC to make Hillary Clinton try to campaign, but we and Senator Sanders Know that the Corruptocratic National Committee are Corrupt.
Hillary Clinton was Responsible for Ascertaining whether information in her possession was Classified and Acknowledged that Negligent Handling of that Secret Information could Jeopardize National Security, and she Knew that Secret Information had to be Kept Secret, and that Secret Information which Must be Kept Secret and Must be Stored Safely may or may not be marked with one of its three levels of classification, which are either Confidential, Secret, or Top Secret.
Furthermore, anyone with Security Clearance, which includes a Secretary of State would be Expected to Easily Recognize Secret Classified Information by simply reading it and using their brain, even if they had Average Intelligence, which is sufficient, and this is stated on the Legal Contracts that Hillary Clinton signed at http://freebeacon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/HRC-SCI-NDA1.pdf , and at http://freebeacon.com/politics/clinton-signed-nda-laying-out-criminal-penalties-for-mishandling-of-classified-info/ , and at http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/02/hillary_obfuscates_lies_when_asked_about_nondisclosure_agreement_that_says_classified_info_doesnt_need_to_be_marked.html .
Tim TTP Kaine said that Hillary Clinton was unable to discern Secret Information in Emails during her tenure as Secretary of State, because Identifying Government Secrets is not always a simple matter.
If what Tim TTP Kaine says is true, then All State Department Material would be Automatically Assumed to be Secret by the Selected Puppets of Plutocrats until it was made clear by the State Department, and Not only by anyone in the State Department, but by People with High Intelligence in the State Department.
This is Proven by the Fact that some Information that was not at one time considered to be Secret is Retroactively said to be Secret, and this would be used by the Unprincipled Bush and Clinton Dictatorships to remove any Honest People in the State Department, and Tim TTP Kaine Knows this, and he Knows that Bush and Clinton Dictatorships Permitted America to have their Puppet Obama Administration in order to try to conceal that otherwise it would have been for the Overwhelming of American Voters would Realize the Most Obvious Bush and Clinton Dictatorships since the Puppet Reagan Administration began in January of 1981, and which extends till this day, and the Clintons want to be Co Presidents again.
President George Bush the second said that Bill Clinton was his brother, and that Hillary Clinton was his sister in law, and American Social Democrats can see this in the photo of George Bush the second and Hillary Clinton that was taken in this Election year, and they say that a picture tells a thousand words at https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/0de1c75741d26ac1ee1d4449038900d3e8830469/45_232_606_363/master/606.jpg?w=700&q=55&auto=format&usm=12&fit=max&s=85016df7b6cb42e07e51911542152cfe , and then there is President George Bush the second campaigning for a Fellow Member of the Establishment Family at the Clinton Foundation at http://assets.bwbx.io/images/iwqGD6mTY9iY/v1/1200x-1.jpg , and so we can see why Hillary Clinton made an easy choice for an Unethical and Unprincipled Person, and took the Bribe, and did Not acted with Unprincipled convictions, and the Video is Titled: Graphic Footage of Hillary Clinton Could Damage Her at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6dd_mtZvJE .
Hillary Clinton who was the Dominant Co President with Bill Clinton, and then as Senator Clinton was on the Armed Services Committee during 2003 to 2009, and then she was Secretary of State 2009 to 2013, and Tim TTP Kaine said that Hillary Clinton had never received Training on how to handle classified information, and that when she was shown an email with a “C” marking on it, indicating that it was classified, Clinton told the FBI that she thought the letter was there to help organize the paragraphs alphabetically, but Secret Information is Not classified with the Generic word of Classified, but with one of its levels of Secrecy classification or levels of Secrecy, with either Confidential, Secret, or Top Secret, and so that C could stand for Confidential, and Not Classified, and Tim TTP Kaine Knows this, and Hillary Clinton wrote a Book which could be viewed as a Diary in 2014 describing her time as Secretary of State, and that Book was published a few months before the Benghazi Hearings, and it is Evidence that she Knew what she Should have been doing, along with other Books that she wrote or were written on her at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_books_by_or_about_Hillary_Rodham_Clinton .
This is because Tim TTP Kaine went on to say he deals often with Secret Information as a member of the Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees, and he said that such Secret Information can be difficult to identify, especially when it is not properly marked.
Obviously, Tim TTP Kaine Lied Again As Usual, because if that we true, then why are there any Elected Representatives doing on any Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees, and Unelected Public Servants should be doing that work, and perhaps they are, because what is thought of as Elected Representatives is Often Selected Puppets of Plutocrats with Gerrymandering and Electronic Vote Rigging, and People can read the other Lies he said to try to cover up that Hillary Clinton is too Ill to hold Unrehearsed Questions and Public Press Conferences at http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/tim-kaine-clinton-emails-227720 , and this is why there are People who want 100 % Public Funding for Elections, and that Only Paper Ballots be used for Elections, so that those who have at least Average Intelligence to understand what are National Security Secrets can be Elected by the Voters to serve on Committees, or to have a Government by Competent Bureaucrats, rather than Incompetent and Corrupt Puppets of America’s Dictatorship Selected by Anti Democratic Funding and Rigged Elections.
We Know that there have been People who say that Donald Trump should release his Tax Returns that were prepared for him by his Accountants who may have been Intimidated or Bribed or Blackmailed by the Dictators of America, but the Tax Laws are Ambiguous and can be used by the Dictators of America to make someone appear to be guilty even though they are Really Innocent, even as the Dictators of America are trying to make the Guilty Hillary Clinton appear to be otherwise, and Donald Trump and his Taxes will remain the same, whether he is President or not, and Donald Trump did Not make the Tax Laws, but he could change them if they are not the best Tax Laws to create Full Employment, and so Tax Returns are Not an issue, but who will be the better President for America is the Real issue, and anyone who speaks of Tax Returns or Tax Laws except in the Context of whether they will create Full Employment is either Ignorant or a Mischief Maker and Should Be Completely Ignored.
The Benghazi Hearings of October 2014 occurred after Hillary Clinton said that she fell and suffered concussion in December 2012, and we Know that Hillary Clinton did Not have any Selective Amnesia then, because that would Not have been good for her Usurping the Corruptocrats’ Presidential nomination, and Hillary Clinton said Under Oath at the Benghazi Hearings that she did not do the bulk of her work on Email, and that some of the Information as so Top Secret that they were brought it into her Office in a locked briefcase that she had to read and immediately return to the courier, and Hillary Clinton asserted that 95 percent of her Emails were on the State Department server, even though the Inspector General’s report said that less than one percent of her Emails were at the State Department, and there are probably other Contradictory Statements made by her Under Oath during the Benghazi Hearings, and it is now the year 2016, and we Know the Emails from WikiLeaks that Huma Abedin said that Hillary Clinton is often Confused and Needs Much Rest and Sleep, but those Statements and the FBI Statements would not be contradictory if Hillary Clinton’s Dementia is worse now than it was in the past, at https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/oct/22/hillary-clinton-benghazi-attack-hearing , and at https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2015/oct/22/hillary-clinton-benghazi-emails-committee-updates , and it is Highly Suspicious that someone would go to such Great Lengths to delete innocent Emails on Yoga, and Normal People would want to keep those memories, but we Know the Real Reason was to try to conceal Evidence of Pay to Play Criminal Activity regarding the Crooked Clinton Foundation.
The Reason for the Clintons Operating their own Treasonous Criminal Clandestine Unauthorized Secret Email Server was to enable the Clintons Additional Legal Opportunities to Block Government or Private Subpoenas in Criminal Administrative or Civil Cases, because the Clintons’ Lawyers could object in Court, before being compelled to turn over any Emails, especially those that had to do with Pay for Play for those Donating to the Money Laundering Criminal Enterprise Euphemistically Known as the Clinton Foundation, and which is what happened, with 33,000 Emails being Deleted from the Clintons’ Treasonous Criminal Clandestine Unauthorized Secret Email Server.
The Clintons Will Continue to be Traitors, and even Bigger Traitors to Americans if they become Presidents again, and they will Take Money from Foreigners in one way or another, and Almost Everyone Knows That, but the Leading Corruptocrats, which may include Senator Sanders, will Financially Benefit from that Corrupt Arrangement, and the Video is Titled: US State Department Toner, Laughs at Democracy and Transparency at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MDqfg3tYIQ .
There are People wondering if they have Amnesia on their Student Loans and on their Bank Loans, then they might be able to use the Clinton Precedent, and tell the Banks that they have No Debts, or Convicted Criminals can say that they were Law Abiding, but the Police the Police overlooked All those Times and All those Years of them being Law Abiding, and just picked on their Criminal Activity to bring them to Court, and Hillary Clinton told those she saw that they would Receive a Discount on their Contribution if they Find Other Clients to Donate to the Clinton Foundation Pyramid Corruption Money Laundering Scheme, and this is why those Emails had to be deleted, because they Constitute Evidence.
We have seen how the Clintons want to be Presidents again, with wanting a Forum hosted by a Clinton Puppet, rather than a Debate, and Hillary Clinton has Already received the Questions along with the Answers weeks ago, and they want to ask Donald Trump questions in order to find some fault, and there are People who think that Donald Trump should make himself as small a target as possible of the Bribed and Corrupted Fifth Columnist Journalists, and that he should Not attend such a forum, but that he would provide his answers after consulting with his foreign affairs team, and answer in writing to the same questions that Hillary Clinton was asked and it will be published on the Internet, because Barack Obama is the President and responsible for those matters until the inauguration of the next President, and those answers will be provided at least a fortnight before the Election, and the audience appears to be that of Military Personnel, then they Know that they have to support Hillary Clinton or they might be allocated to the front lines, where they could be killed because they did not act as was Demanded by Dictator Clinton, and the Veterans will be Known to Hillary Clinton and the Clintonite Corruptocrats, and this is what Corruptocrats want to pass as American Democracy and the American Republic, while other Americans want a Better America at http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/matt-lauer-moderate-presidential-forum/2016/09/02/id/746479/ .
There are People who think that Donald Trump should say that he will Not release his Tax Returns for the purpose of Discussing the Real Issues regarding the Tax Laws to create Full Employment, and how the Dishonest Dictators of America by means of their Bribed Corruptocrat Puppets will use the Ambiguous Tax Laws for their Anti Democratic purposes of Slandering Honest Candidates, who want to create Full Employment.
We Know that George Soros is a Democrat and a Multi Billionaire, and If I were a Plutocrat, and I wanted to Control America, then I would set up Mainstream Medias, and I would Know that the Money I Paid as Good Salaries and as Secret Payments to the Corrupt Fifth Columnist Journalists would be an Investment to make a Much Profit on, but I would want a Guarantee from those Journalists that they would be my Puppet, and they can provide that by Volunteering to be Filmed in an Act of Bestiality or Criminality, and to avoid Embarrassment or going to Jail, then they will be my Puppet, and those who have seen how George Soros does things, then have also seen how the Hillary Clinton who Receives Campaign Donations from George Soros does things.
We have seen how Hillary Clinton is wrongly blaming some Foreigners without any evidence for hacking Computers, while there are Many Americans who use foreign proxies for their Hacking of Computers in America, but there are Many People from Many Countries who hack Computers, and if American Political System were an Honest System of Government, then they would Not have allowed Criminals like Hillary Clinton to be a Presidential Candidate, and it is Disgraceful that Americans have to Rely on American Whistleblowers like Edward Snowden, and possibly on foreigners for the American Political System to be Democratic.
This is because the National Security Agency has All of Hillary Clinton’s Emails, and that Information is Shared with Britain, and they are Spying on everyone in Anglo-America, and the FBI Should have done its job, Except that America has become a Corrupt Dictatorship, and so Hillary Clinton should Not blame foreigners, because she Knows that she is the Wrong type of Person to be President, and so she should Not have Usurped the Democratic Party’s Presidential nomination.
Hillary Clinton has Many Health Problem, and is too Ill to take on the Stress of being President, and if Hillary Clinton becomes President, then she have to give the Presidency to Kaine.
Hillary Clinton had to rest for several minutes during the Debate in the Democratic Primaries, and it is because she Needs Much Rest and Sleep, and she Cannot have meaningful Press Conferences that are Not Staged and Rehearsed and this is why she Prefers to be seated during such events and it is said she wants to use her plane for Staged and Rehearsed interviews allows her to be seated, and Many Americans think that Hillary Clinton should retire from the Presidential race, because the Presidency is beyond her physical and mental capabilities, because of her Many health Problems, and a plane allows Hillary Clinton to get as Much Rest and Sleep and Coaching because she needs this.
There are People who think that there are Many Proper Reasons why it is Not wise to vote for Hillary Clinton at this Election, and there is the issue of the Fifth Columnist Puppet Media, which is Greatly Responsible for America’s current situation.
We have seen how the Clintons have Reminded their Bribed and Corrupt Puppet Journalists and other Puppets by using Anthony Weiner to act with his inappropriate texting pictures, and this Reminds others that the Clintons have the Pictures and Videos of their Puppet Journalists, and that Fifth Columnist Journalists Need to keep being a Fifth Column for America, by trying their best to Lie for Hillary Clinton, and to Slander Donald Trump, and to try to deflect the News Stories away from the Many Clinton Scandals.
There are People who think that those American Journalists who Care about America and other Americans should sign a Statement of Integrity in order to Ensure a Good Economy, and to Minimize Corruption in the Government.
The Opinion Polls and the Voting has and can be Rigged and so Voting may be a waste of time, and so People Need to Make the Mainstream Media be accountable and honest to some degree, and that is the Key to Reforms in America, and Rescue and Safeguard from Treason, because a Corrupt Mainstream Media will lead to a Dictatorship and High Unemployment and High Crime and No Accountability, and it has to do with the Journalists’ Statement of Integrity, which should not be diluted by those Americans who want a Good Economy that provides Jobs and Services, and which Minimizes the Federal Government Corruption.
This matter of signing the Journalists’ Statement of Integrity Needs to be discussed Often on Talkback Radio, and on Social Media.
That Statement of Integrity would say: While I deny all such allegations against myself, I Admit that there Could Easily be some Journalists who have been Bribed for Big Money and who have Volunteered to be Filmed in an Act of Bestiality or some Criminal Offense, and because they do Not want to be Embarrassed or go to Jail, and lose their Lucrative Jobs, and that they have been and they are Fifth Columnists who are the Puppets of Others, and they are Traitors to America.
There are Journalists in America who may think that because of These Things and Other Things, and because of the Bribed and Corrupt Fifth Columnist Journalists, that they will use Journalistic Affirmative Action rather than being Totally Unbiased to help compensate for those Bribed and Corrupt Clintonite Fifth Columnist Journalists for this Election.
