The Hearty Salon, 07 April 2025 … Open Thread

[AHH]

Y’all know what a history buff I am. And how cyclical and rhyming it goes, so best to heed. Sometimes YT recommendations and clickbait are delightful -starting with the leading poem guaranteed to draw me. I do strongly dispute they were either the first empire or the first evil one, but a useful paradigm in more recent recorded history.
Title: “Assyria – The First Empire of Evil”

“The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold,
And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold;
And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea,
When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee.” — Lord Byron
A fitting review of the Siege of Jerusalem in 701 BC by the Assyrians, given the straits and fate of Zion today

some notes:

• (09:30 min) The late bronze age collapse he describes includes 1177 BC, presented so well by Prof Cline..
• (11:30) as with the MIC of Pax America bringing unforeseen civilian benefits during the process of permanent wars on humanity, so the development of one of the earliest postal systems was used to monitor and maintain distant garrisons. In fact the Papacy and the British Empire innovated similar technologies for remote control (electric telegraph by Brits in mid-19th century, then Morse code by Yanquis).. at heart of such plundering slave empires is SPYING. For the wicked can never trust, especially their own distant gauleiters and vice-roys
• other similarities between aggressive evil empires were exceptional roads and connectivity arteries, to facilitate movement of their troops in all directions, internal and external. Long before the world-famous Roman roads, or Nazi autobahn or punctual Fascist trains, or the Eisenhower Interstate Highway System, these Assyrians appear to have set the template.. more recently, as sea peoples, the sea became the key “roads” of international commerce under the grip of the Iberians, then most comprehensively by the Royal Navy, then Yanquis; even their civilian and cargo insurer Lloyds dominated, up to the 2022 SMO.. the obverse is equally true at tormented lands – for centuries, prior to the atomic age, Russians kept their roads, especially to heartland around the two major European cities, without a direct and well kept road system, given predictable periodic Drangs every 30 years or so … I would think similar pattern existed in China, concurrent with Great Wall.
• Note the pattern of loathing by all in contact with the Assyrians – and how dismembered abruptly at the end, simultaneously within and without, whilst seemingly at height of their powers!

Just some Trump porkies, incase we forget ..

Trump said he is having direct talks with Iran today, while so far there has only been an exchange of letters between the two countries, which Trump considers direct talks.

He said that the talks next week will be direct, while the Iranians officially denied it. Apparently, what direct talks means to Trump is different from what it means to everyone else.

All he is doing right now is a failed attempt to save his face…

and

Trump says Israel “should never have given up the Gaza Strip,” before the conversation shifts to the “resettlement plan” for Palestinians—Netanyahu claims there are several countries “willing to take them in.”

-I don’t understand why Israel previously abandoned the Gaza Strip.

-The Gaza Strip is like a death trap, an extremely dangerous place, and will take years to rebuild.

-We will call Gaza a “Freedom Zone” after relocating its population.

– Netanyahu is trying to package genocide and ethnic cleansing as voluntary migration: “enabling the people of Gaza to freely make a choice to go wherever they want.”

– Netanyahu, in justifying Trump’s plan for ethnic cleansing: We did not besiege Gaza-they are besieged!
During his visit to Washington, the war criminal stated that in all war zones, people had the option to leave, “except in Gaza, where the people were trapped — we did not besiege them, they are besieged!”

Heaven help us!

OK; reality:

US-Iran talks: What is known so far?

Donald Trump announced direct negotiations with the Iranian side at “almost the highest level” this Saturday.

🔶 NYT journalist Farnaz Fassihi reported that the meeting will take place in Oman and will be indirect, citing Iranian officials.

🔶 Tehran has previously ruled out direct talks with Washington under threats and pressure, but has left the door open for indirect negotiations.

🔶 Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Russia, China and Iran will hold talks on Iran’s nuclear program in Moscow tomorrow.

Prof. Marandi confirmed:  “Iran has not agreed to direct negotiations with the US.”

Respecting dialogue at Chronicles …

Brother Crooke at UNZ has a published an essay, which, inter alia compares the Trumpist ultimatum to Iran that that which Austria-Hungary made to Serbia… that’s to say demands that cannot be met, which in realpolitik are simply masks for aggression, for war. Alastair goes on… fine essay. see>

‘Break-a-Leg’ (that old Mafia warning), by Alastair Crooke – The Unz Review

(I prefer the dead fish in newspaper)

https://x.com/nxt888/status/1906249031430685063

Therein Brother Crooke calls down little Scotty’s foolish statement:

“I’ve had an interesting exchange about the Vietnam War. You know, we could have ended that instantly. And there were plans to do so. Nuke Hai Phong. Nuke Ha Noi. War’s over. Ends instantly. We didn’t—because we made a decision that that’s not in our best interest, that that’s not the right direction to go. But we didn’t not do that because we were afraid of anything. We made it because it was the right decision.” (Ritter, Lassen Sie die Absätze zusammenschnappen und rufen Sie „Jawohl!“)

Remarking that the calculus in the Pentagon Papers, iirc, was that “victory” in Vietnam required the “taking” of Hainan Island from China, which would result in a nuclear war with China – which the Pentagon was afraid of losing, one way or another…. Little Scotty is 100% mistaken…obviously nuclear bombs on Vietnam’s cities would have, similarly, resulted in nuclear war with China….at the end of a long logistic chain. With any concentration of US troops being killed…many thousands in a day… Scott’s full of … (quiz Friday).

I agree with Crooke, so far as he goes with his reasoning. However the destruction of Iran is not only a zionist necessity, it is a necessary nazi prerequisite to starving China of life-blood oil, to bringing China under obedient nazi control. To spiking the cannon of the World Island.

[emersonreturn]

as you know, i’ve questioned the slick presentation behind some of these videos, particularly on some african sites.    the last couple weeks i’ve thought some may be produced by china?  AI?  this one from ancient craft & the one on the african thread addressing the recent split between niger & china fuels this conjecture.

 

[amarynth]

Yup, they are made with AI. It is quite easy and I’ve played around with it. You still need to write your plot, but the thing is, these days AI (DeepSeek or Qwen or a bunch of others), can write the script for you. Then you turn to a video making AI, (Invideo, Canva or a bunch of others) choose your pics or a theme basically or ask the AI to choose for you and it makes the video for you – of course some canned voice reads the script then. If one spends time, you can make a good thing.

Even on X the Elon Musk AI can write your tweets for you. I hate that thing! Each time there is a disagreement on a thread, somebody ‘asks GROK’ and what the AI says is taken as gospel.

So, it is a question of what is good and what is not. If a good script is written, the video can still be good, never mind the AI overlay. It is the difference between art and painting by numbers.

I’ve had fun with that stuff but have not spent enough time making something good. One day, AHH and I played with image-making. I often use an AI to make an image for me, but I think AHH just died a little. He likes good images and art. For me, it saves oodles of time searching through image sites, and one does not have to worry about copyright, which is another story.

I’ve even turned articles or posts over to the AI and told it what I wanted and to rewrite them, but they always read like some newsreader, so I throw them away. I’ve even had an AI argue with me, and then I found out that the database was older, and I was talking about last week—so, no wonder it was arguing with me as I was talking about stuff that it did not yet have available.

It’s like anything—if you spend the time and get really good at it, you turn out something good. If not, it is barely passable.

I like sometimes asking the AI to seek out for me – because one can be really specific. For example — I’ll tell it — I’m looking at information about xxx and I want 60% results from Chinese sources, 20% from western sources and 20% from Russian sources. It is not a search engine, but the results are much better than a search engine. You just gotto talk to it as if it is not a search engine.

It is a new world where search and email are passé.

If you guys would like to try some of this stuff, let me know and I can at least make a thread and take us through the basics. At the China Writer’s Group there are a few folks that do a lot of their work by training their favorite AI – but they are more into serious academic work. They would specify what they want, and they would specify which type of footnoting they want, exactly how many, and they want quotes to be rendered, and so on. I never repost those articles as they do not sound right to me – but the facts are correct.

Anyway, I’ll happily create a basic tutorial for anyone who wants to try making an image (train the AI) or writing (again, train the AI). It is not difficult.

“The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) conducted a secret search for Adolf Hitler in South America for a decade after his supposed death, according to declassified files.

No further CIA documents made public suggest that agents continued searching for Hitler after 1955, the WaPo reported.”

The implication is that they found him. Maybe Bormann had a persuasive argument that convinced them that the wise course of action was to forget about it…certain incriminating documents for example…

How the British Caused the American Civil War

💠@DDGeopolitics:
⭕On This Day – April 13, 1919

🇮🇳The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre Shocks the World.

On April 13, 1919, one of the darkest chapters in India’s colonial history unfolded in the city of Amritsar, Punjab. What began as a peaceful gathering at Jallianwala Bagh turned into a horrifying massacre that galvanized India’s fight for independence.

Thousands of men, women, and children had assembled in the walled garden to protest the Rowlatt Act, a repressive British law that allowed imprisonment without trial. As the festival of Baisakhi brought large crowds, people gathered to listen to speakers and peacefully demonstrate.

Without warning, Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer marched in with 50 soldiers and ordered them to open fire on the unarmed crowd. The main exit was blocked, and bullets rained down for about ten minutes. In total, 1,650 rounds were fired. Official British reports claimed 379 people were killed, but Indian estimates placed the number well over 1,000, with many more injured.

The massacre sent shockwaves across India and the world. Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore renounced his knighthood in protest. It marked a turning point in India’s freedom struggle, fueling national outrage and uniting people across the country.

Though General Dyer was relieved of duty, he faced no formal punishment. The event remains a symbol of colonial brutality and is commemorated each year as a reminder of the cost of India’s independence.
[☝️☝️☝️ The savagery on display in the Holy Land today, the dissolving crown jewel of the Last Satanic Empire, reminds of this prior era where the similarly desperate British Empire, having staggered out of WW1 bled white on Flanders Fields and other fields of futility in endless homage to Moloch, fought tooth and claw to retain their crown jewel Raj from the restive Indians disgusted at the barbarity of WW1 and on their subcontinent. The British Secretary of State for the Colonies at the time was Alfred Milner, of the Round Table and trustee to Cecil Rhodes’s will. Much of the subsequent course of Pax America over the next century (think tanks, academia, media, intel, spying, financialization, economic hitmen, reserve currency…) was crafted in South Africa in late 19th Century by their cabal that melded Anglo-America.

Less than two years after this massacre, Churchill became the next criminal in charge of the colonies, intensifying the bloodletting over the next three decades into the famine of millions through deliberate starvation policy. Remind you of ongoing policies??

During the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, Churchill was the Secretary of State for Air where they undoubtedly developed the principles of firebombing then “worked out” in Guernica, Dresden, Tokyo etc. Note the British pioneered the subspecialization/regimentation of their air force for terrorist force projection long before the Yanquis]

Good Lord .. Seun did this one around 10 hours ago and since then, the Trump game has changed again. Trust the Plan hey ho!

I feel particularly tired today .. one of those days where I want to just not look at anything and I read my novel and stagger back to the computer or take a peak at the incoming on the tablet anyway.

The folks in the US must start telling us about prices there. I know they bought eggs from Europe, but no more, and people in business are posting up their invoices with a separate line item for Tariffs. So, I made an egg salad today, with all the trimmings and we had that with fresh and fat tomato slices and stuffed the egg salad into herbed flatbread. A little food chopping always is a pickup for me. Perhaps the new batch of chickens are producing now in the US but it feels too fast. Those new hens lay only tiny little eggs. We have eggs, lovely and good quality eggs, not washed so stored outside refrigeration. It feels bizarre and absurd to read that the US has an egg shortage.

Anyway, a good night’s sleep is called for. The site is being cleaned up and maintained (a long list of about 35 cleanup and maintenance items) from our lovely new tech, the jewel frog, all the way from Bangladesh! They are all out in the streets for Gaza today.

But I called it the State of the Nation and that feels good. “The strategy of empire going forward will be one of denial of world development through chaos creation.” So we’ll be swimming through chaos for a while longer.

I don’t see fusion ever working as a source of commercial energy, Mr P.

Almost 60 years ago, I used to have a buddy who was doing research on fusion at a lab, just after he had gotten his PhD at a university here in Canada. He would tell me how they had achieved fusion for about a billionth of a second, reaching the temperature of the sun, where it is continuous of course. And he was sure it would be commercialized in 50 years.

I don’t need to be a nuclear physicist to know that mother nature would never provide free energy on earth. Because the first law of nature is: There is no free lunch!

[Mr P]

It was not my opinion, but that of the speaker. My opinion is that it’s been achievable for a long time. see>

https://archive.org/details/42244c-us-hydrogen-test-mos

And space travel with boosted nukes? see Project Orion. I assume boosted because Orion used collimated gamma and bomb orientation, shaped charge techniques, and other schemes that remain classified.

Of course the speaker was imprecise, saying “fusion power”, but it’s self-evident that Ivy Mike and RDS-37  demonstrated power, ie F x D, kilowatt hours.

They say that He3 will allow practical commercial electrical generation via fusion (and boiling water!), and that the Chinese intend, tentatively, to mine He3 on the moon.

………

Airplane J-36. That what seems to be a coating is actually a RAD coating is simply an assumption. I thought that the technical presentation of the mechanism of RAD materials was worthwhile. Whatever is on the airplane may be a coating, and it might be a deception.  However, it may be that the cloaking device used by the Klingons and Romulans was copied from China!

Interestingly, btw, I have been able to minimize the cop radar return in a couple of bikes I built, not by coatings but simply be scattering, return angle planning, and 1/4 wave elements in control cables, etc.  I thought about a mechanical jammer concealed in a plastic “dome” (aka a “spare” helmet” ) but it’s never been worth the trouble, and since it would produce readout of very high speed, eg >100 mph, it might be “counterproductive”. 😉  Some corvette cars had radiators set at recumbent attitude. Those reflected the copradar into the sky. Our local cops generally simply “admonish” rather than write tickets, if you live in the area. Mostly they pull over “foreigners”, especially cars from other states, run the occupants’ id through “SCMODS” (Blues Brothers) and do their best to search the car, or occasionally, motorcycle. Once in a while they make a big cop “score”. There is no practical route to avoid town near Anoxia, it’s a focal zone.

Woops! Gotta run, the Klingons just joined the 2 meter net, and their accent is very entertaining, they sound like Boris Badenov! Regards!

911… whoever did the jobs that day had weeks of unfettered access to at least 5 major buildings. four in NYC and one in DC.  Airplanes are obviously distraction. Tucker’s guest seems sincere. If he is, he fell for the gag. My considered view is that “Al Kiada” (the patsy) was being run by a zionist agency, and that US persons in positions of power were in on the job…the remarkable coincidences and the forensics for explosive residue and thermate and thermit are really quite plain.  Plain and simple 911 was an inside job.

We discussed the meaning of “military technical” previously here. An example is the SMO zone 404…

[Mr P]

speaking of “military technical” fun with cyphers and radio! Ruski Sender UVB 76 4625 kc sends secret traffic…probably it’s not Plan R… but ya never kin tell…

I take the following, especially the tone, with considerable skepticism … and lotsa salt. My best guess (and hope) is that it’s just test traffic. Generally they transmit a meaningless signal, however actual traffic is rare, and often associated with or coincidental to military technical actions.

As I recall from discussion at Saker, “Hooligan gang” is roughly the meaning of the original German slang term “nazi”.

https://www.moonofalabama.org/2025/04/growth-of-ukraines-azov-units-follow-path-of-the-waffen-ss.html#more

“Azov started as a violent hooligan gang in Kharkov. It mixed nordic myth and Nazi ideology. It found rich oligarchs as sponsors and in exchange provided them with the necessary muscles to solve ‘business conflicts’. It has its own youth organization and international network.”

And did the violent zionists also begun similarly? Just speculating…

sean chats about china & argentina, & i remembered pepe patiently explaining argentine elites are like none other, & i wondered, amarynth, if it may be possible the elites in Argentina are beginning to divine their interests may be better served—or if argentina is going to be a trojan horse?

 

[amarynth]

Milei is a chainsaw wielding madman and great friends with Elon Musk.  He made major promises, but has to borrow from the IMF – the highest IMF loans in history in our world over a long time now.  I really don’t know how much of Argentina still belongs to Argentina as they sold themselves off to the IMF during the years.  China will sit back, help where they can (only a swop line, i.e., a trading ability), with a hope to the future, and let the mess fall into a heap.    Argentina is out in the streets on a weekly basis and people are being brutally suppressed.  It was funny .. this is the one country that Michael Hudson once asked me a 4 word sentence about, and I was stumped and felt utterly stupid, as they are just about the worst example in the world in terms of western owed debt and a country belonging to the IMF.  Their major trading partner is Brazil and for such a beautiful country, their exports are so poor: https://oec.world/en/profile/country/arg

I’ve been there—not a long time, but just short—and I don’t belong there. But the food is gorgeous!  What tremendous agricultural riches that country has!  I think if Sean is saying there is a change, he is grasping at air.

Argentina has to buy somewhere, and there is only China and Brazil.  They jones to fall into the trade with Brazil who sells to China like hot cakes.  Neither of those two countries are fully reliable with Argentina in a wild hot mess.  We don’t have our correspondent from Argentina any longer unfortunately and I doubt that he would say anything anyway.  Do a search on Argentina people out in the streets .. there are 4 million out in the streets at any one time.  I cannot tell you who is a reliable correspondent and who is not.  Argentina cannot even at the moment make use of the Chancay port, because they have to cross Bolivia or Chile and they have no friends in the region as Milei is a madman.  He talks west and visits west, but hopes that China will somehow be at his back.  He is the guy that gave Elon Musk a golden chainsaw and Musk jumped all over some Trump stage with his chainsaw, for cutting the government expenditure.

Expect the region to remain in turmoil as it is there that the Monroe Doctrine is being felt the most.  China may be helping with a swop line, but China will not do anything about their IMF debt.  But we hold a very small hope that with the current chaos, just maybe something will change because we cannot help ourselves.  Hope dies last.

thank you, amarynth, for a realistic clear-eyed response.  few can forget the staged chainsaw massacre & meili’s visit to the zionist colony to blow & kiss, or that his name derives from the same root as nutty’s…yet, i continue to marvel that china continues to entertain canadian & argentine emissaries & if not sign continue to go so far as leave the papers scattered on the table, pens ready & the chair invitingly positioned.

china’s wisdom is foreign to the west, & therefore impossible to read, the traps are set in such a way to entice the poacher, encouraging him to assume he’s detected a pattern, oblivious the crumbs & trail were to entrap the trapper.

i suppose it’s only a matter of time before the argentine millions on the street take charge, canaduhians will never mount a greater crowd than the sucker punched truckers canvassing banks for the safe return of their savings accounts.

still, greenland is considering a master stroke.  to quote a friend, what days!

 

[AHH]

The Truth always outs… and one cannot fool any civilizational-state for long

Millei danced the one-two tango with the preceeding liberals to waste China’s time and soak their FDI and wealth. A serious time waster, like Europe for all the civilizational-states too. Time, energy, wealth, opportunities and other resources that coulda been spent on the sincere and global south were squandered on behalf of Empire in these two directions.

But I do not think any will waste any more resources in either direction. Irredeemable compradores that chained themselves to the Titanic shall be left to dance alone with their chosen master — as both head straight down to Davy Jones’s locker..

California Sues Trump Administration to Block Tariffs

Note the Congress is the only agency permitted to make tariffs.

However rule by ukase is characteristic of empires in collapse.

“………administration already faces three similar lawsuits – one in the New York-based Court of International Trade by business advocacy group Liberty Justice Center seeking to block all of the tariffs, one in Florida federal court by a small business owner seeking to block the tariffs on China, and a third filed in Montana by members of the Blackfeet Nation – a Native American tribe that spans Montana and Canada’s Alberta’s province – challenging Trump’s tariffs on Canada.”

ahbetcha this goes to the USSC…where some say blackmail presides…

(as always—why now?  why, unlike most dissidents/whistleblowers he faces neither smear campaigns, charges, nor censure?)

 

[AHH]

this overweeningly arrogant guy is unbelievable! He takes us for fools! A risible oily-tongued siren, spouting the very truth to mislead!

He wants China (and us) to think the Orange wrecking crew is haphazard, incompetent and driven by sheer emotion and hate. That there is no “continuity of government” or long-term thought process put into the eCONomic Samson attack underway. That it is totally determined by hedge fund degenerates who make it up on the fly.

IOW – “stay quiet, and take the pain. The fools shall soon reverse themselves” – and in the meantime, the Drang has advanced to greater catastrophes. Like that joke about having two bullets and having Ayn Rand, Stalin or Hitler in front of you, and using both bullets on Ayn Rand, I would say the same of this “professor.”

Another point the good professor omits: the Parasite is unconcerned for the former dying western Host. Orange was brought in as liquidator maximizing the final dividend.

The clues on what horrors await China (at unconcerned expense of common man in USA) can be seen in West Asia and Novorossiya.

Russia is embroiled in totalen krieg which keeps expanding and can be maintained on simmer for at least a decade, even when the larger war has been lost; Rules-based Terrorism, by air and sea shall seamlessly take over, international law and reputation be damned. The wholesale holocaust of ALL arabs is quite nicely advanced, paid for & whitewashed by satanic demented oil-rich arabs, international law and reputation be damned.

What comes to China will not only complete the demolition job on the old order, but will embroil China and Asian tigers in such Chaos that if not immediately halted will stillbirth the rising Asian Century.

As the ongoing bilateral Russian genocide was designed to largely remove Russia from global interventions for allies, and has largely worked, and the arab holocaust to smother mankind in despair, lack of hope and will to fight for true liberation, and is working to date; so the started assault of China will remove our global majority economic engine and usher in a universal backward and superstitious Dark Age to match the old cherished feudal one of the westerner Antagonists of All.

Of empires, collateral & financial fraud

(worth a look, considering the 500,000 & the 51st)

[Grieved]

Thanks, that’s a good article. Detailing how the Iraq invasion of 2003 was to keep Iraqi oil off the market as massive Alberta bitumen was certified as “proven” – which in turn supplied collateral for loans that fueled the US housing boom until its crash in 2008.

I has always thought it was purely from the Iraqi decision to price its oil in Euros instead of Dollars, but I could see this too. They like to kill multiple birds with the same stone, and significant market moves have a way of coinciding with significant geopolitical moves.

Another fine interview with Ray, John and Nima. John is a little less tense this time, but lots of interesting information, especially from the Russian side:

[Anil]

This trip by the Saudi defense minister to Tehran is one for the history books, in my opinion.
In the middle of the Gaza genocide, he meets the top Iranian officials, all the way to the Supreme Leader, is quite stunning. A visitor from the top Sunni country, meeting with the leaders of the top Shi’a country, is dripping with significance:

[AHH]

They are wholly untrustworthy, even standing on the precipice, like the EUroCrazies today in similar predicament. Absolutely inadequate in self-preservation.

They’re on the cusp of losing their oil wells and being demodernized, mere weeks from the USUK murder-suicide against Iran, which will draw them in. And if Iran doesn’t blast them, Yemen and the Iraqis will. Or their sea of oppressed Shia which live around the oil wells. It is astounding the suicide in progress, matching that of the imperial suzerain.

A hint that the GCC are not sincere, and have no goodwill to any humanity, even their own population: they are silent today whilst Gazan civilians are being incinerated in their tents. Instead they continue to host western bases which burn Yemen daily from the air, and now prepare to detonate Armageddon in the Persian Gulf.

Last, recall their flurry of activity with Al Assad of Syria in his last days – reopening embassies in Damascus, inviting him to cuddly Arab League summits, etc — even as they plotted to depose him with their salafi Horde

A nazi or Anglo elite will change spots first

[Anil]

Good points, I forgot about the sweet nothings that they sang to the Syrians, before the treachery that culminated in al-Assad’s overthrow.

[AHH]

It helps to see them as two-bit well-kept actors, wheeled out at various points, such as to sabotage BRICS.

The Legion (or Big Club) of the Last Satanic Empire is awesome to behold, encompassing most global elites. They make up for countless mistakes, lack of true cohesion, and bottomless immorality with sheer diversity, numbers and dark passion. This has permitted them to eke it out, and last long past the date homogeneous empires would have already fallen.

And above all, these lesser salafi members of the Club have no agency whatsoever, like the EUroCrazy technocrats on current display. When they go on charm offensives, great evil is underway
