      Guernica, 1937

      I grew up adoring Spanish and Latino culture. I was put off by Picasso’s Guernica, very disturbing. I understood he was attempting to depict the senselessness of war.

      But now Gaza brings new perspectives! It is the SAME nazi effort to intimidate and subjugate mankind through the savaging of the helpless innocents.. identical to Hiroshima, or Dresden, or Falluja.

      Note the occult motifs he rightly strews about which indicate the spiritual elements.. the horned one-eyed Bull (Moloch or the Golden Calf) receiving his due. The Sun God, camouflaged as light from the light bulb (Lucifer bringing his Light, reinforced through the hand-lamp too).  Triangles and pyramids.The sacrificed children. The smashed, jumbled humanity and animals, cut up into pieces of meat and stacked randomly, under rubble and whatnot. The pure madness which prevails during the ritual. I don’t care to look too closely, but there appear several demonic figures too. Aren’t all these the key, necessary elements to their age-old rite? The war gods they unleash to bring to birth their crazed evolutions and new consciousness?? It is directed trauma, like MK-ULTRA, but on a massive scale, in order to transform all of mankind towards desired goals.

      I had to load a new thread as getting full (and hard to load for user and servers thereafter).

      ZZzzzzzzzz……………

        Sudhi, done. Thanks for reminder.

        It is easy to create new threads — any one registered in this Salon/Forum can set up their topic of interest.

        Scroll to bottom of main Forum page: https://sovereignista.com/globalsouthforum/forum/the-hearty-salon/ then type in a title, add the first content, tag it, and you’re good to go. That easy.

        Maybe, per Putin’s meeting with the Chinese military leader today, we will soon need someone to start and maintain an Asia-Pacific Thread! The world is seriously careening off all known tracks. The crazies don’t even have 600 for this Charge. It is the Charge of the Fifty Fanatics, towards every quadrant on earth at the same time, and absolutely bereft of capability in any one single direction….

      When the nazis did Guernica, Henry Miller (iirc) visited the scene of the crime under control of the fascist army… he wrote, iirc, that the fascist officer informed him that the commies did it. Speaking of blowing up the Reichstag, er, wait, no, the buildings in NYC, no, wait…the pet a gone…no wait…

      I have never examined the painting. Unbearable.

      the genius of picasso is in his complete honesty.  he did not present us a mask  to remove, or a landscape to plow in order to know his heart’s ground.  it’s in front of us.  his daughter, paloma, opened a museum in paris & she wisely placed each piece in chronological order;  along with notes, letters, reviews, newspaper clippings, all & sundry relevant to that moment in picasso’s life, & the particular painting/drawing/print we are looking @.  it’s essential b/c he painted the moment, what he was living, thinking, addressing, & above all feeling.  regardless of how it might be interpreted or viewed, regardless of how shallow or selfish he might be perceived, he had the courage to put it all on paper/canvas/clay.   guernica was (i believe) his only work that he did not do in the moment but after.  long after.  it was simply too horrific.

      Mr P we recently discussed cannabis use and dangers of its non-medicinal use, particularly among the naive and vulnerable youth. This was known decades ago — during medical training it was called “a gateway drug” for the youth — and why pushed in the streets. First step down slippery slopes…

      This statement was posted today by the Russian MoFA:

      ⚡️ Joint Statement at the Intersessional Meeting of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs (Vienna, 23-25 October 2023)

      📃 We acknowledge the progress made in the implementation of the international drug policy commitments due to the enhanced efforts of the national competent authorities in addressing and countering the world drug problem as well as the broad technical assistance provided by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.

      • the current developments related to the world drug problem are alarming and represent a global drug crisis. <…> The range of illegal drugs and illicit drug markets are expanding and diversifying, compounded by the increase in both global supply and demand.

      ☝️ We are deeply concerned about legalization of cannabis for non-medical purposes. <…> We emphasize the detrimental effects of the legalization of cannabis on public health, safety as well as the decreasing perception of risks related to drug abuse in society, particularly among children and youth, and call upon the UNODC and INCB to continue data collection and analysis of harms posed by the legalization of non-medical use of cannabis.

      • Strengthening of cross-border law enforcement cooperation is essential in our joint endeavour.

      • We reaffirm our determination to counter the world drug problem and to actively promote a society free of drug abuse in order to ensure that all people can live in security, peace, health, dignity and prosperity.

      ❗️ We call on all Member States to work constructively and in good faith towards adopting a concise, action-oriented document at the opening of the high-level segment of the 67th session of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs within the framework of 2024 mid-term review and reaffirm our commitment to accelerated implementation of all existing international drug policy commitments beyond 2024. [emphasis in original]

      What an age, as masks are dropped all around. LaRouche had a book cover title I loved above all. It succinctly described the British Empire: Dope Inc. This paradigm has always been operational! What I have come to love about you is you always return to this essential topic too. Dope is at the Heart of Empire. The Opium model exported to all mankind, nonstop, for centuries… We are all a China being endlessly raped..

      But the world quickens, as the globohomonazi system, lubricated on dope to keep folks compliant and deviant and easier to assault for endless plunder, and to fund black budgets, is itself under total assault. The full-pronged politico-diplomatic maneuvers and “levée en masse” of the Russians against the fallen West is breathtaking. Even if they lacked the military fist, the resources, the resilient culture, they would be targeted for these comprehensive intellectual and moral responses to unrestrained global assault of the satanic system.

      I have non-integrated thoughts about the matter. Ethics, I am confident, is a manifestation of Character, Reality, and Perception. Thus take the dope or not is situational…especially in the (Dugan ) Liberal period…and I recall Lincoln on prohibition…it goes against everything that America is about, iirc…. I note that adults using the several popular sorts for the first time— they have troubles, often, and often not very much trouble…they learn to moderate, and get tired of it… Children are another matter. Burning in read only receptors and habits is a “pregnantly” very bad idea. I am recalling https://youtu.be/alasBxZsb40 Aldus in 1958…the fella was said to be doin’ a lotta chicks and acid, in those days… How lucky I was… !!

      The balance between the interests of the State, the Society, and the Individual is self-evidently an Ethical question…and thus a matter unsettled and ever in dispute. 😉 But generally, in time of crises, it’s obvious that the interests of individual are less… Thus in principle, I agree with the Russian proposal…for the moment… Quakerness being somewhat aloof in attitude…there being no canon, nor church….inebriation happens, management also happens, and all is changeable according to need.

      I think it was Jefferson who observed that wine growing regions tended to be impoverished as opposed to the more sober yet similar regions… I agree. A reasonable sobriety is highly desirable.!!

      Russia severely tightens movements in the Barents Sea areas of its
      littoral (thx to Nat South TG):

      “In areas No. 13 and 27, the navigation of all vessels is prohibited, with the exception of ships, boats and vessels of the Navy and FSB agencies

      No swimming areas have been established in the Barents Sea. The order of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation dated September 29, 2023 (No. 330) “On the establishment of prohibited areas for navigation in the Barents Sea and the rules for them” was published on the portal of legal acts.

      According to the appendix to the document, in areas No. 13 and 27 of the Barents Sea, the navigation of all vessels is prohibited, with the exception of ships, boats and vessels of the Navy and FSB agencies.

      The order, signed by the acting Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation Andrei Kostyuk, was registered by the Ministry of Justice on November 7, 2023.”

      Perhaps new phases and missions dawn in the unfolding Global-SMO… happy hunting fellas!

      This is as likely a defensive posture — protecting the Northern Sea Route (NSR) now active between East Asia/India and western Russia/Europe, as well as protection of the North Fleet sub bases and oil/gas installations.. since 22.2.2022, Norway, on behalf of NATO, was already aggressive with ISR intrusion flights and attempted denial of shared Russian ports and outposts at Svalbard

      The US is about tapped out in conventional rearmament capabilities, with even bleaker prospects?? 86% of its “50 critical minerals” are “import reliant”.. a sure and easy way to squeeze the warmongers into obsolescence if not into full submission. See the gallium move wrt to Chinese chips saga. What other surprises do the “critical-minerals-rich” civilizational states have in store for the permanent-war junkies??

      Again, we return to Ray’s attractive locked box on the top shelf! The Gun in our ongoing Third Act

      💠 @Intel Slava Z:
      ⭕ “Military rearmament is just getting started — without enough critical minerals.

      Secure critical mineral supply chains are essential to sustain any significant military.  The challenge: the US identified 50 critical minerals in 2022 but was 100% net import reliant for 12, and had a net import reliance greater than 50% of apparent consumption for 31 others.

      In other words — as highlighted by recent export ban on gallium and germanium by China, which supplies 54% of all US Germanium — the US military critical mineral supply chain is extremely vulnerable.”  📎 The Oregon Group
      ⭕ “Outside of mineral constraints, there are only two facilities capable of producing military grade explosives in the entirety of the United States, neither of which have been modernized in decades and don’t have expansion plans until the end of this decade.

      There is a reason, after all, the U.S. keeps missing it’s production targets…”

The discussions lasted three days and culminated in the signature of the Protocol of Sèvres.  British, French and Israeli sources are used here to reconstruct the sequence of events that produced the most famous war plot in modern history.)

      This is no joke! The same criminal who detonated the Kiev Maidan was promoted to be an Assistant Secretary of State and made the same threat as Nuland before they blew up the Nordstreams. Smelling the wind, just hours later, the Russians tightened movements in the approach of the Barents Sea to LNG-2…

      The criminality and aggression is ENDLESS and limitless and breathtaking in scope. The fight will be eventually taken to them. The crazed leave no alternative.

      From The Lookout-Z:
      “US puts ally at risk just to ‘kill’ project in Russia

      The United States is seeking to kill the Russian Arctic LNG-2 project implemented by NOVATEK. This was stated by US Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Geoffrey Pyatt.

      “Last week we leveled new sanctions against the Arctic LNG-2 project which is NOVATEK’s flagship LNG project. Our objective is to kill this project.”

      Such an open confession, however cynical, this time is not only about Russia.

      It remains unknown whether Mr. Pyatt is aware that Japan, the US’s closest ally in every way, has invested $3 billion in the project.

      As of 2021, the Japan Arctic LNG owns a 10% stake in it.

      And despite the unfolding Ukrainian conflict, the Japanese government insisted that this involvement be continued due to the project being vital to Japan’s energy security.

      Japan’s Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Yasutoshi Nishimura said that the latest US sanctions against the Arctic LNG 2 project will surely have an impact in the country and they now need to assess it.

      These words are quite interesting since they prove that the imposed sanctions came as much of a surprise to Japan as they did to Russia.

      Perhaps even more so, since allies are not usually expected to undermine your own energy projects.

      Thus, Mr. Pyatt just made it clear that if there is an opportunity to ‘kill’ an opponent’s project or two, it makes absolutely no difference who else gets hurt in the process.”

      ====

      Note the dual-use term “to kill,” even more explicit and evocative than Biden’s “put him down.” And what are the odds the Japanese will demonstrate more self-preservation than the Germans at what unfolds?? But the sappers first need to get to the Russian terminals. This is qualitatively different than simple gas pipes with ease of access in NATO waters.

        ⭕ The United States is again threatening to blow up a Russian gas pipeline.
        Elena Panina, director of the Institute for International Strategic Studies:
        If someone promises to kill you, it’s better to believe him. Moreover, in this case, “killing Arctic LNG-2” is threatened by the same Geoffrey Payette, who, together with Nuland, distributed cookies at Euromaidan as the US Ambassador to Ukraine.
        From a technical point of view, “killing Arctic LNG-2” is [not] possible except through sabotage. All other options are excluded because the necessary equipment for the project, much to the surprise of the Western media, was imported after the sanctions were imposed.
        One way or another, Russia needs to be prepared for new sabotage at infrastructure facilities. And also prepare to punish those who try to harm us.

      LNG plant has many hydrocarbon fluids, the cooling process uses propane, ethane (iirc) and several stages, then of course, the product is stored cold under low pressure… if a leak happens and the fluid contacts sea water rapid phase transition explosion then results in bigfatvaporcloud…which will probably find ignition at the cloud edge…followed by a very big air-fuel explosion. The opportunities for sabotage are manifest and many. The target may be the ships…not the ports. The robot torpedo gag in arctic… why not? Actually, while imho insane, it looks pretty easy…

      NOVATEK obtained a federal patent No. RU 2645185 C1 for its proprietary natural gas liquefaction technology called “Arctic Cascade”. The patented LNG technology is based on a two-stage liquefaction process that capitalizes on the colder ambient temperature in the Arctic climate to maximize energy efficiency during the liquefaction process.

      The Arctic Mix liquefaction technology using equipment produced by Russian manufacturers will localize the fabrication and construction of LNG trains and modules to decrease the overall cost of liquefaction and develop a technological base within Russia.

      https://tass.com/economy/1631715
      Novatek has obtained a Russian patent for its proprietary technology called “Arctic Mix” for large-scale natural gas liquefaction using mixed refrigerants, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.
      “The LNG process has been developed to implement the company’s large-scale projects on gravity-based structures with a production capacity of over 6 mmtpa per LNG train,” the statement reads.

      Mixed refrigerants in the process allow it to be used in a wider geography with a better energy efficiency and leaner equipment list, Novatek said.
      “This innovation is an important step towards the localization of liquefaction process trains in alignment with the company’s strategic objective to develop LNG technologies in Russia. Leveraging domestically manufactured equipment for critical parts of the process will enhance the competitiveness of large-scale LNG projects implemented by Novatek,” according to the statement.

      “For the first time since its creation, a representative of Russia was not included in the International Court of Justice; Judge Kirill Gevorgyan could not be re-elected for another term – the organization’s website

      Gevorgyan has been a member of the court since 2015, and since 2021 has served as its vice president. Now his place as a judge from Eastern Europe will be taken by the representative of Romania, Bogdan Aurescu.

      The International Court of Justice was founded in 1945 and began operating the following year. The Court resolves legal disputes between states and gives advisory opinions on legal issues referred to it by other authorized UN bodies.

      The court consists of 15 people whose mandate lasts for nine years. Every three years, five judges are elected, who must receive an absolute majority of votes in the General Assembly and the UN Security Council.”

      ZZzzzzzzzz……………

      There will be no international tribunals, at least involving the West in the Judges’ row…. Victors’ Justice, a la Nuremberg is baked in. So sad.. The entire edifice of the post-WW2 system built by the Anglo-Americans during the Atlantic Charter is being dismantled. Lavrov recently remarked on this future course, sans the West:

      🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks and answers to participants’ questions at the federal educational marathon “Knowledge. First” (Moscow, November 6, 2023)

      Key talking points:

      💬 International politics has entered a new phase and is undergoing tectonic shifts that are driven by the ongoing formation of a multipolar international order. <…> The new global architecture will not be ruled by a single hegemon, but will be genuinely democratic and fair.

      🌐 The polycentricity or multipolarity that is taking shape right before our eyes is truly inclusive in its nature. New global decision-making centres are emerging and strengthening their positions in Eurasia, the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.

      Today, #BRICS and the #SCO are the key pillars of the emerging multipolar international order.

      • I would like to make it clear that this does not mean starting from scratch and erasing everything created by our predecessors. The foundation for building a new world is in place, and it is strong. It is the UN Charter.

      🤝 We see positive developments in Eurasia that are designed to harmonise the potential of various regional initiatives, including the EAEU and China’s Belt and Road initiative.

      • International isolation, which some said was in store for us, is not reality. We engage with the Global Majority countries, which make up 85 percent of the world’s population. People in these countries (the vast majority of them) see Russia as a good friend and a reliable partner, who has repeatedly proved its reliability and has done a lot to build country-to-country relations based on internationally recognised norms of international law.

      Protective nets and cages around armored vehicles are rendered futile! Are those armored land armies lacking these drones now obsolete or prostrate?? Their armor will become sitting ducks like surface fleets… This is a serious revolution in militay affairs! Smoothie, where are you? Start the next chapter of the Book.

      “In recent footage, a drone struck a Bradley infantry fighting vehicle.

      The new Lancet kamikaze UAVs received additional cameras that ensure the operation of LIDAR, a system for obtaining data about distant objects by reflecting light and scattering it in transparent and translucent environments.

      With this technology, the warhead of the drone detonates at a distance from the target; after the explosion, the cumulative jet reaches the object and hits it. A few meters do not reduce the penetrating properties of such ammunition.

      If the modification gains momentum, then the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ equipment with protective nets, which even before could not boast of excellent efficiency, will become defenseless, Ukrainian resources admit.”

      More on Dope.. Are the extant US blue-blood money all built on opium wealth?? Two centuries and more.. I read this years ago too…

      💠@Slavyangrad:
      Medvedev [his latest Telegram today]:
      “According to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, drug production in Afghanistan has decreased by 95% from the end of 2022 to the present day. And this applies both to the reduction of poppy cultivation (from 233 to 11 thousand hectares) and opium production itself (from 6.2 thousand to 333 tons). In less than a year, the Taliban (banned in our country as a terrorist organization), no matter how we treat it, has done what the coalition of NATO impotents led by the Americans, supposedly fighting terrorism in the country, could not do in 20 years. This is what happens when the one who was really interested in exporting heroin to Russia and other countries leaves the region. Extra joy: everything is still the same in Mexico…..”

      Note: once the invisible hand of the market was removed from Afghanistan’s throat, the system began to work differently….
      I wonder if there is the same invisible hand of the market behind fentanyl.

      ⭕ By the way, developing this theme.

      What is the secret of your untold fortune? Oh, I’ve just been working hard

      Historian and writer James Bradley at the presentation of his book China Mirage:

      “When we hear the name Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the first thing that should come to mind is China. Because it was one of the major influences on young Roosevelt’s life. His mother, Sarah Delano Roosevelt, grew up in Hong Kong. She was the one who paid Franklin’s bills. Franklin Roosevelt never had a high paying job. For most of his life, he was a civil servant. Yet he had yachts, townhouses in New York, a summer home in Maine. Where did he get all this money? From his mother’s family– Delano. Where did the Delanos get their money from? His grandfather Warren Delano was an American drug lord in China, the largest American opium trader in that country.

      It’s the same as if the Cali cartel, which supplies cocaine to the U.S., had nurtured the president of Colombia. It seems wild to us. But Warren Delano was an opium trafficker, that is, a criminal from the Chinese point of view.

      You think I’m giving you an unusual example from history? Not at all. If you drive up and down the East Coast of the United States, there are traces of the Chinese opium trade.

      Take Yale University. The Tomb, now the headquarters of the Skull and Bones Society on the Yale campus, is still funded by the Russell Trust. The Russell Trust was the largest drug trafficker in China, and Warren Delano worked for them. Yale University was built on land given to it by opium drug lords.

      The most famous building on the Columbia University campus is the Lowe Library. It is named in honor of Abbott Law, who traded opium in China with Warren Delano. Princeton University’s first major donor was Stephen Green. Stephen Green took over Russell and Company’s opium operations after Warren Delano, having gotten rich, returned to the United States.

      America’s first industrial city, Lowell, Massachusetts, was founded by opium merchants. The first railroads on the East Coast? Opium money. How did the great American transcendentalist philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson have so much time to do philosophy? Because he married the owner of an opium fortune. Take the Council on Foreign Relations. It’s the Coolidge Family, opium again. Chiquita banana company, AT&T phone company? Same thing. Dig into the history of any person with the last name Forbes. For example, in the family tree of (former) U.S. Secretary of State John Forbes Kerry. What do you see there? You’ll see a fortune made in the drug trade because his great-grandfather traded opium in China.

      When the Chinese talk about a century of humiliation, that’s what they mean. We sold them opium under the roof of the British, French and American fleets. Warren Delano was consul in Canton, he welcomed the first ships of the American navy in the First Opium War. If you come to Canton, what is now Guangzhou, you will see a statue dedicated to the man who asked Warren Delano to stop supplying drugs to China. Go to Chinatown in New York, there are two statues erected there. One to Confucius, the other to an official named Lin, who begged Warren Delano to give up the drug trade in China.”

        hahaha, nothing against you dear emerson. I merely copied & pasted the blurb. He could have used any of 1,000 easy examples from New England. A region marinated in Hypocrisy! Puritans and Pilgrims who came to establish a New Jerusalem.. and merrily joined in the British Empire’s looting and doping and corrupting of mankind. The clipper ships, some of the best and most elegant and fastest sailing vessels of the opium era were built in New England..

        And I probably knew the offspring of several of these robber barrons! I was fortunate to receive a full boarding scholarship in a New Hampshire private school throughout HS — being top of my class, with a visa straight from Africa. In perusing the school albums of prior generations, I was struck at the graduating class of a century earlier numbered about 8-10 individuals and all went to the Ivy Leagues. The school had opened up by my time, allowing colored folks, and had become co-ed only a decade or so before I arrived too in 1970s. Some of my classmates are famous olympians, and some unfortunately infamous, tarnished with Lance Armstrong in the [doping!] cycling scandal at the Tour de France.. New England remains a region of financial influence and coordination hub of the Anglo-American Alliance, even as the working class has sunk into the despair and abandonment of rust belts.

        Indeed, I always wondered at the famous question of Henry David Thoreau. [[ He was thrown in jail for refusing to pay a poll tax which he believed went to funding an unjust war (sound familiar?). When his friend Ralph Waldo Emerson goes to visit Thoreau, he asks him, “What are you doing in there?”. I believe Thoreau asked him if he thought there was any fairness in the tax, and when Emerson concluded there wasn’t Thoreau’s response was “Waldo, the question is, “What are you doing out there?” ]]

        Perhaps the familial affiliation and entrapments of Ralph Waldo Emerson helps explain why he was on the outside of the bars looking inside at the honorable prisoner!

      about the old dope trade…it was bad, but not yet criminal…this is a legalistic take… 😉 anyway…when a crime stops, generally, Time takes a toll, and there is a period after which the prosecution is prohibited… that was then…this has merit, as dredging up past wrongs may inhibit progress and peace…as is obvious… it’s a delicate political balance between the crime and the tort and the necessities…a subtle equation best left to well educated and sober expert diplomats.

      I would ask, did the crime stop? Actually sort of, the French took it, they say, imho more or less. Briefly.

      See> https://www.amazon.com/Politics-Heroin-Southeast-Asia/dp/0060129018

      The sober expert diplomats are getting ready to bail

      Russian Dep FM Sergei Ryabkov: “I don’t rule out anything at all (in Russia-US ties.) The level may be lowered; and the severance of diplomatic relations is also possible.”

      MOSCOW, November 9. /TASS/. Washington’s behavior may compel Moscow to downgrade diplomatic relations or even cut ties, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said.

      “We are indeed going through an acute crisis in relations, the likes of which we have never seen before. We need to carefully calibrate and verify the steps we are taking to prevent further escalation. Our leadership encourages the Foreign Ministry and other federal government agencies to act this way, which is what we are guided by. However, we have seen the Americans take a series of irresponsible and escalatory steps with regard to Ukraine, and not only there,” the senior diplomat said in an interview with RTVI. “That is why, if we look at Washington’s current behavior model from this perspective, I don’t rule out anything at all. The level [of diplomatic ties] may be lowered; and the severance of diplomatic relations is also possible,” he added.

      Still, the deputy foreign minister stressed that Russia did not plan to initiate the severance of diplomatic relations with the US. “We believe that diplomatic relations are an element of international affairs that need to be taken care of because otherwise we will lose all that’s left of civilized channels for sending messages to each other,” Ryabkov said.

      In this regard, he pointed out that November 16 would mark 90 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and the United States. “Our relations have been through various phases; there was even a period of allied ties and brotherhood in arms in the fight against a common enemy, Hitlerite Germany, that was waging a war against us and our allies, which included the US back then. Later, there were the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis and a period of detente. We’ve seen many things,” the Russian deputy foreign minister noted.

      The senior diplomat also pointed out that Russia would always respond to any US challenges and provocations. “I think the Americans know us by now, watching how firmly and consistently we defend our interests in all areas,” Ryabkov emphasized.

      my shameful country founded upon genocide tears down first growth homes to put up cement towers to house populations fleeing empire’s never satiated never ending global genocide.  on a whim for  years i’ve saved keys fitted for those old well made front door locks.  for no reason, none that i knew, although occasionally i did question myself, i never came up with a sensible reason & yet continued in the folly.

      it’s come to me:  this christmas i shall assemble my collection of keys & hang each from a lovely ribbon of black statin or silk velvet to give as gifts: my prayer card accompanying each: “Join Fatima.  With faith & courage wear this key to pledge Fatima’s right of return.  Free Palestine, from the river to the sea.  For in truth Fatima’s return shall be our own.”   blessings

        this is a more recent imitator of Naji:

        saving “keys fitted for those old well made front door locks” is an honored Palestinian tradition, handed down generation after generation since the 1948 Nakba.. It is one of the things that me made love Naji Al Ali; it features prominently in his art, usually worn on a string around the neck of the good man’s wife (Fatima). It is how they maintain last ties to stolen homes, lands and treasures and keep sane. Some of these keys are really antique and a huge size…

      Yeah, I love Prof Marandi, but the Empire lacks the time. The Financial Economic Ponzi, vassal-escape of the PetroSheikhs under pressure by Russia-China-India, and the lost military supremacy all dictate the frenzied tempo. Gaza was the opening gun. The USS Ike is now positioned as the sacrifice off the Gulf of Oman.

      And more importantly, like all its wars since 1991, they aren’t meant to be won, but to destroy, per Rumsfeld-Cebrowski. Meyssan misses the spiritual elements a lot, but he understands Empire better than most. They are unrolling a “cordon-sanitaire” from the Arctic down to Yemen, and around China in the South, to hem in the Heartland powers. An area to be liberally burned. Remember the MacArthur’s Bombs for China, to be walked from Korea all the way deep into China?? An old playbook.

      How would the Heartland powers respond to non-allied Global South nations getting nuked?? Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, even false flags of the arab oil infrastructure on the Persian Gulf attributed to nefarious Iranians. It may be the Empire that needs Hormuz closed, and quickly.

      If they are to maintain any hegemony whatsoever, they must broaden the war.. After 404, losing the base of the Petrodollar is a nonstarter.. IF they must torch the entire region, using the horrifying Gaza Genocide as the kindling, then so be it. Two aircraft carriers and nearly 200 capital ships of the combined West are nothing in the overwhelming calculations. The more that die the better in their satanic weltanschauung. IMO, at this point, it isnt even about controlling — but denial to rivals of the oil/gas in the region, severing trade connections, collapsing global economy, cutting the BRI Levantine land-bridge, harming well-armed rivals of the zionists such as Egypt, Iran, Hezbollah, Yemen, etc.. lots of nukes on the table for this round.

      That’s why the unimaginable horror of the live Genocide doesn’t perturb them.. after what’s planned, this will be peanuts vis-a-vis their global image and entirely livable. Will many even live to hunt them afterwards??? We return to the mineshafts and their air ducts, water and calorie reservoirs, nubile inhabitants, and judgments to come..

      🗣 “This is the evidence base that shows that Western countries, primarily the United States, are behind the explosions at the Nord Stream pipelines in one way or another, in one form or another, ” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday.

      This caused the infrastructure projects to be weakened in six months, and now there are even threats against the upcoming infrastructure projects in the same area, she added.

      Earlier, US Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources Geoffrey Pyatt said that the United States plans to stop Russia’s Arctic LNG 2 initiative by using sanctions that are organized with the support of G7 partners and several other countries.”

      “Product 30” gave the Su-57 a number of important advantages:
      https://m.vz.ru/society/2023/11/15/1239775.html
      Russian fifth-generation fighter Su-57 began to equip the engine of the second stage (“Product 30”). One of its main features is that it develops supersonic speed without turning on the afterburner. This not only reduces fuel consumption, but also increases the combat radius of the aircraft.

      In the first ground launch of the “Product 30” demonstrator engine, compared to the AL-41F1, the Product 30 increased the thrust from nine tons (in afterburner mode) to 17.5-19.5 tons. The engine itself is characterized with increased fuel efficiency and reduced life cycle cost. According to Evgeny Marchukov, General Designer and Director of the Lyulka Design Bureau, the Product 30 will surpass all foreign analogues in terms of specific thrust.

      From the technical features, it is also known that the oxygen-free ignition system on the upgraded injectors ignites the fuel immediately after it enters the combustion chamber, and the new nozzles control the thrust vector. The expert community agrees that

      With the second-stage engine, the Su-57 gets a number of undeniable advantages. In addition, this achievement allows Russia to remain among the great powers leading in the engine industry.
      “This engine improves specific readings both in terms of thrust and fuel consumption. There were reports that the plane’s visibility indicators might change. But one of the fundamental issues is to provide cruising supersonics without turning on the afterburner, which will allow you to quickly and secretly reach the borders of the use of weapons. This is especially important when performing missions over vast areas, ” says Oleg Panteleev, Executive Director of the Aviaport Agency.

      A good preview of the BRICS internet on the way… a COMPLETE decoupling is in the offing. Apparently negotiations didn’t go well in San Fran.. “Dictator” was mumbled out immediately. With Russia in charge, 2024 is going to be even bigger than 2023. The BRICS currency may be delayed, and that is OK given exchanges in bilateral currencies and rampant bartering, but this BRICS internet may come fast. All are painfully aware of the use of social media and the internet in driving color coups and internal destabilizations. The achievement of “informational hygiene” was pegged by Patrushev and Putin among the key foci in the sovereignty drive of Russia (and by extension the Global Majority tagging along).

      Speaking of forces we cannot control… planetary influences on sunspots permits some degree of prediction of probability of bigbig CME, https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.08317.pdf

      (below my bold)

      The sunspot number record covers over three centuries. These numbers measure the activity of the Sun. This activity follows the solar cycle of about eleven years. In the dynamo-theory, the interaction between differential rotation and convection produces the solar magnetic field. On the surface of Sun, this field concentrates to the sunspots. The dynamo-theory predicts that the period, the amplitude and the phase of the solar cycle are stochastic. Here we show that the solar cycle is deterministic, and connected to the orbital motions of the Earth and Jupiter. This planetary-influence theory allows us to model the whole sunspot record, as well as excerpt abstract>the near past and the near future of sunspot numbers. We may never be able to predict the exact times of exceptionally strong solar flares, like the catastrophic Carrington event in September 1859, but we can estimate when such events are more probable. Our results also indicate that during the next decades the Sun will no longer help us to cope with the climate change. The inability to find predictability in some phenomenon does not prove that this phenomenon itself is stochastic.

      NATO is working overtime to interdict and block Russian subs and fleet outlet into the North Atlantic… when the big dance officially opens, these two areas, along with several areas in the Baltic (adjacent to Denmark and at the Gulf of Finland outlet of Kronstadt) should get red-hot.

      💠@Оперативная линия via Nat South:
      “Over the past eight days, a representative team of American-English-Canadian scientists from the European branch of the overseas institute for the study of man-made noise in the World Ocean and the occurrence of magnetic anomalies of the Earth in their flying laboratories continued to explore vast areas of the Northeast Atlantic (NEA).

      As of today, we can say with confidence that the main interests of scientists are localized in two regions of Northeast Asia, approximately shown in the picture.

      Speaking about the intensity of flights to these areas (at least 4 – 6 flights per day or approximately 2-3 flights to each of the areas in the mode of constant presence in it), it should be noted that something similar was noted in memory only in the now distant 2019 year.

      And what is most interesting, unlike one beautiful country, probably none of the flight personnel of these laboratories burden their native command with low clouds, overwork, “wind in the wing” and other aviation wisdom from the series “so as not to overwork and no matter what happens.”

      The Economist’s Prophetic Cover is Decoded:
      https://m.tsargrad.tv/news/putin-s-trampom-si-i-bajden-porozn-prorocheskaja-oblozhka-the-economist-rasshifrovana_909492
      On the cover there is Zelensky, over which” hung ” shells and the silhouette of a stranger. He looks at Putin through an hourglass. Images of Putin and Zelensky are flanked by space rockets and satellites, and below that is a ballot box. According to the magazine, in 2024, more than 70 elections will be held in countries with about 4.2 billion people.

      The ballot box means that Zelensky, Putin, and Biden are up for election. As for Xi Jinping, he just finished the election, and successfully. The hourglass just shows that everyone’s time is running out. And for Xi Jinping, that time is already going backwards.

      On the right side of the cover is a fall chart with four currency symbols-pound sterling, euro, dollar and yuan.

      The question of currency is what will be the main one in the future. We have come to the conclusion that in 2024 there should be a clear definition of which currency will begin to pull the blanket over itself if the dollar does not stand up. And he, apparently, will not resist. Anyway, I can see that this is a cover for the whole year, so it’s natural that we will see this chart, the rise or fall of currencies.

      Brain Drain:
      To the left of the urn are brains with wires-probably a hint of a new breakthrough in the development of AI, but at the same time we see how information is being “pumped” out of the human brain.

      This is artificial intelligence. At the same time, there is a brain drain, I would say. Brains are running out, and the essence of artificial intelligence will probably be based on the fact that the human brain should be the main one here for now, and artificial intelligence should be trained.

      Russia will bring peace:
      At the same time, Zelensky is on a red background, and Putin is on a blue one. The bird carries a branch for the red background, i.e. for Ukraine. This is not just world peace, but purposefully Putin is working to bring peace to Ukraine. There are ballistic missiles near Zelensky. But he would like long-range, the most dangerous for Russia.

      Mysterious circles:
      According to Koshkin, the characteristic feature of this picture is an eclipse, and getting out of it may mean enlightenment in relations between Russia and Ukraine.

      The eclipse occurs in the center, and then again the relationship is enlightened. Prospects for the development of relations between Ukraine and Russia.

      It is worth noting that the section between the equatorial visualization and the lower belt is shown below, but here the circles already have red and blue colors, he added.

      Blue is the US, red is China. But they also interact very actively here. But in the center of the question, how will the confrontation between the United States and China end? At the same time, there is just a dark circle on top. That is, we must go through the dark days, and then the dove of peace will still change the situation.

      Containing China:
      I think that China wants to integrate Latin America, that is, China wants to go to the backyard of the United States, and the United States wants to go to the backyard of China – in order to contain. And we see the battery. On the one hand, it is a fuel supply of the car, on the other hand-the transition to climate-friendly conditions. Probably, these rare-earth fossils from below-this is uranium and all that stuff-again characterize China’s desire to find itself in economic power for the whole world. In Biden’s squares, we see the same thing, a green economy, but these are wind farms-therefore, wind turbines that generate electricity, and it is delivered all over the world.

        The Economist is the premier “hoi oligoi” media arm of the supranationalist satanists. The layers of its covers are fully indecipherable to the sane, at least to nonstate individuals without access to supercomputers or paranormal abilities. Perhaps a schizophrenic Zionist has inbred facility, lol! A natural internal “Turing” codebook permitting recognition and interpretation the world over.

        Btw, how easily can schizophrenia be induced? iirc, many aren’t genetic. I note Israelis were the most vaxxed population on earth.. what was in their batches? Elsewhere, some were kill-shots, some saline, some mildly induced chronic disease, others cratered innate immunity leading to AIDS and unusual cancers, etc.. but the stormtrooper settlers of the Holy Land would have a different mission and thus profile, no? Something to decapitate conscience, smother empathy, boil away self-preservation, tighten testicular fortitude for one-way Light Charges, etc etc. A metamorphosis into highly focused (if inept) zombie killers!

        Sudhi, other ways one can interpret this terrible Economist witches’ rag. They pine for Putin’s death or overthrow. Much of the cover encompasses ill-wishing against him.

        The hourglass is his time running out. And it really is, being over the age of 70 years. But they need it expedited.

        The satellites at his back — he will be forced to attack them, given the relentless use of NATO ISR. Just today a huge but foiled attack on Crimea, nearly every week now, using NATO drones and ISR.. this technological empire survives on three crutches atm — Petrodollar, Narratives/PsyOps, and ISR targeting systems..

        Also note the chart between the four currencies beneath him is trending DOWN.. like a medical screen of vital signs.. his heart rhythm flatlining?? The deviants really engage in nonstop black magic; any prop to wish into existence their crazed desires. Note the cargo ships, increasingly trading in Yuan, link to China. China-Russia trade is booming, replacing some of the West for both; Russia’s economy is surging and has escaped the West. Both must be attacked too. Sea Wars on the horizon…

        The missiles over the Comedian’s head are pointed straight down at VVP. The equipment at the Comedian’s back — is that a bullet for Putin? Or a syringe?  The space launcher also happens to look like some complex viruses like bacteriophages (images above) — a launch of another biowarfare, carefully tailored to Russian genes this time rather than Chinese?? To be injected using the connected syringe? And note beneath him are the four AI brains hooked up into the All-Seeing Eye. Dark Forces align with the Comedian. The US tries to compensate for military inadequacy through heightened narrative PsyWar, mind-control, and outwitting the traditionalist camp, led by Putin’s Russia.

        Note the similarity in appearance between VVP and Biden. Both being ushered out? Again, they pine for Putin’s exit, even though they know who ever succeeds him will be harsher. But he will command less respect and devotion worldwide, less experience and strategic thought and self-control..

      Just now Meyssan’s The Collapse of Israel and the United States. (14 November)

      Recalling Szilard predicted that the US and the USSR were a pair, one dissolves, then the other must also…machine logic…a metastatic structure…triggered when the USSR blew it…. so? So here we are! (he says, but does not mention the learned inventor of the bomb)

      Withal, excerpt>

      Even more than Russia, which had to break away from the Baltic States, the United States must prepare for domestic uprisings. When the US is no longer able to impose the dollar on international trade, and its standard of living collapses, the poorer regions will refuse to obey, while the richer ones will become independent, starting with the republics of Texas and California (the only ones legally able to do so, according to the Treaties) [1]. The break-up of the USA is likely to result in civil war.

      [nochit!]

      The disappearance of the USA will lead to the disappearance of NATO and the European Union. Germany, France and the U.K. will find themselves faced with their old rivalries, having failed to respond when the time was right.

      Within a few years, Israel and the “American Empire” will disappear. Those who fight against the direction of history will provoke wars and unnecessary deaths in their numbers. ENDE  https://www.voltairenet.org/article219991.html

      fwiw I rather imagine that legalistic argument for seceding might be conjured up for “States” additional to Calif and Texas…Hawaii and Alaska, for example seem pretty easy to imagine…as we recognize that Power and Realpolitik have a profound influence on Courts. Actually the outcome of the Mexican War might be re-negotiated, or repudiated – releasing the affected States to, we presume, decide their own fates by referendum, or by other, cruder, methods, ahem… Perhaps there will be a fire sale to China…who can say?

      “Perhaps there will be a fire sale to China…who can say?”

      Yes. The Celestial Emperor may have been in town in part to survey domains.. Like a young George Washington surveying “Indian lands.” Wasn’t there an ancient Roman principle, and other Empires besides, that the Sovereign owns all lands on which he physically trod or that his envoys saw??

      Father would have known offhand the provenance of the Principle, and yes, I think it’s Roman Law…but there are probably older examples . His Popeness (speaking of Rome!) called it Christian Discovery. I found this> In the 1823 US Supreme Court decision, Johnson v M’Intosh, Chief Justice John Marshall wrote,”…discovery gave title to government…[and] the sole right of acquiring the soil from the natives.” This decision underpins US property law. Marshall’s deliberate use of the word “discovery” is an intentional reference to 15th Century Catholic Papal Bulls, which stated that any Christian who “discovers” a land populated by non-Christians has superior title, or rights of ownership, over that land. In essence, Johnson codifies into US law the principle of Euro-Christian domination over Indigenous Peoples. In the most devastating sense, the Doctrine of Christian Discovery (DoCD) legitimized exploitation, extraction, and enslavement globally and enshrined these practices as the basis of U.S. property law still cited today as recently as 2005 (in Sherrill v. Oneida) and 2020 (McGirt v. Oklahoma).

      Papal Bull “Inter Caetera,” issued by Pope Alexander VI on May 4, 1493, so they say.

      https://m.vz.ru/world/2023/11/19/1240455.html
      Russia conducted a brilliant special operation in Ukraine. It’s not yet in the official reports, but an active pilot of the Ukrainian Air Force flew to the location of the Russian troops on his plane.
      According to some reports, the Ukrainian pilot flew to Russia on a Su-27 fighter jet. According to bloggers, at the moment the Ukrainian officer is cooperating with the Russian competent authorities. Undoubtedly, his professional knowledge of the activities of the Ukrainian Air Force can help Russia in the course of a special operation.
      “The Ukrainian pilot, who from the very beginning of the war went over to our side and helped us with information and not only, is now in Russia, “writes another military blogger, Radio Russia host Daniil Bessonov.

      More seriously… “The UNSCOP [UN Special Committee on Palestine] Majority Plan is not only unworkable; if adopted, it would guarantee that the Palestine problem would be permanent and still more complicated in the future.”
      “The proposals contained in the UNSCOP plan are not only not based on any principles of an international character, the maintenance of which would be in the interests of the United States, but they are in definite contravention to various principles laid down in the [United Nations] Charter as well as to principles on which American concepts of Government are based.”
      “These proposals, for instance, ignore such principles as self-determination and majority rule. They recognize the principle of a theocratic racial state and even go so far in several instances as to discriminate on grounds of religion and race against persons outside of Palestine. We have hitherto always held that in our foreign relations American citizens, regardless of race or religion, are entitled to uniform treatment. The stress on whether persons are Jews or non-Jews is certain to strengthen feelings among both Jews and Gentiles in the United States and elsewhere that Jewish citizens are not the same as other citizens.”
      “We are under no obligations to the Jews to set up a Jewish state. The Balfour Declaration and the Mandate provided not for a Jewish state, but for a Jewish national home.[2] Neither the United States nor the British Government has ever interpreted the term ‘Jewish national home’ to be a Jewish national state.” Loy Henderson (US State Dept)

      The Britz say that they had a little bitty problem with one of their boats It was entering the “danger zone” when engineers at the back of the 490ft Vanguard-class vessel spotted a second gauge and raised the alarm. https://t.me/DDGeopolitics/92836

      This is not a Brit Boat> https://youtu.be/O1SEes5TGbg  (But one gets the idea!)

      “A naval source said the near-miss had showed that safety systems worked. “

      (That’s nonsense, a lie. It proved just the opposite. Think about it…)

      Let’s assume they’d lost the boat, and would they not (probably) blame the other fellow… and cry Ruskiedidit! (as it is, good sense calls for dry-dock and inspection…a deep dive in an old (calling fatigue life fellas) boat may have resulted in some squishy stuff, 😉  Steel is friendly, but not that friendly! All machine desire death, and some want to take you along for company…especially submarines, although oil refineries and chemical plants try pretty hard as well! (Motorcycle is safer!)

      Conjecturally speaking, the ocean has lots of crud that gets into the pipes and through-hulls…plastic trash mostly… generally one never trusts gauges entirely, and “blowing down” (in some way or other to assure clear pipe and working condition), and taptap on the glass…is the way of things I’ve seen…same problem can foul the cooling system…reverseflushing and watching the differential pressures with hawkeyes…such actions are essential…conditions and physics… noting that submarine boot is supposed to keep quiet, and purging and flushing can be noisy… no makie bubbles an’ all of that stuff.wet wreck

      If the period of tension goes on long enough, major unexpected events (like broken depth gauges in antique boats!) are liable to bring major amplifications in violence, significantly these mechanisms run through political calculus as well as the larger geopolitical epochal forces as well as human emotions. tictictic

      💠🇷🇺 🇺🇸 🇫🇮 A rather interesting exercise began on the territory of a newly formed member of the North Atlantic [NATO] bloc – Finland. From yesterday until December 1, the Finnish Armed Forces will continue training as part of the joint NATO forces Freezing Winds.

      On the Finnish side, an F/A-18 squadron, warships and marine units are participating. And NATO is represented by ten F/A-18 US Navy, one Atlantique 2 patrol aircraft of the French Navy (flying to Tempere air base) and permanent group No. 1 of the NATO Naval Forces (a total of 30 ships and vessels).

      📌 And the emphasis of this event speaks for itself: the scenario of a crisis situation in the waters of the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Finland is being worked out as part of combat units of diverse forces at the Dragovik training ground and in the coastal zone.

      The training takes place amid of the controversial closure of border crossings between Finland and Russia and provocative actions in support of Ukraine. And this does not take into account two more exercises of the Finnish ground forces, conducted at the same time near the borders with the Russian Federation.

      The Alliance’s attention to Scandinavia once again confirms the thesis that the struggle in the Arctic region is only heating up.

      China’s People’s Liberation Army – Navy ship “Longushan” is reportedly ablaze just off the coast of China tonight. The vessel is reported to be “China’s most advanced warship.”

      No OFFICIAL word on what caused the fire. I am not sure if China has acknowledged the fire yet …

      All mention of this is being rapidly scrubbed from China social media networks, and no official information is coming out of Beijing.

      The vessel bears Hull Number 980 and is described as a Type 071 landing ship.

      China’s fifth Type 071 amphibious transport dock (LPD) Longhushan; with hull number 980) was commissioned with the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN or Chinese Navy) on September 12, 2018 in Shanghai.

      Originally designed after the Taiwan Strait crisis in 1996, the Type 071, measuring 210 meters long and 28 meters wide, is capable of carrying an 800-man marine battalion and some 20 amphibious tanks. ENDE

      Dear Emerson, regarding our moment reviewing Leningrad. On the 22nd of each November, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs commemorates the first supply lines reaching Leningrad over the frozen Ladoga Lake. This may have preserved Putin’s mother, allowing him to be born some years later. There are so many parallels between Russians and Palestinians.. the ultimate survivors and eternal enemies of the combined West. Both will outlast and triumph over their tormentors.

      🗓 On November 22, 1941, the first supply lorries drove across the ice of Ladoga Lake into besieged Leningrad. The 30 km-long route became known as the Road of Life — the only transport route linking the northern capital with the mainland during the Siege.

      Over 2.5 million people, including 400,000 children, still remained in Leningrad on September 8, 1941, when the Nazis besieged it and thousands of people were dying of hunger daily before the Road of Life became operational.

      🌾 During the first relief trip 60 of the legendary GAZ-AA “polutorka” lorries delivered 70 tonnes of flour to the people of Leningrad. Despite extremely bad weather conditions and constant Nazi shelling and bombing, the participants in the operation ensured the uninterrupted functioning of the transport route, making up to 3 trips per day to deliver the food to the residents of Leningrad.

      🕯 To give you the scale of the operation: 300,000+ people were involved in the servicing and using the ice route. Nobody knows the exact number of people who gave their lives on the ice of Lake Ladoga. They were drivers, antiaircraft gunners, repairmen & traffic regulators.

      💬 Driver of the 804th auto base on the Road of Life, Leonid Barkovich:
      Each of us wanted to avoid an enemy shell but everyone knew that death alone would prevent us from doing our duty and carrying out orders.

      Overall, more than 1.6 million tonnes of cargo were delivered to the besieged city and 1.376 million people were evacuated by the end of the Road of Life’s operation in the spring of 1943. Combat hardware produced by Leningrad plants were carried in the opposite direction. This included KV tanks that were critical for the front and were manufactured only in Leningrad at that time.

      Owing to the incredible efforts of drivers, freight handlers, engineers and auto mechanics, tens of thousands of people in Leningrad were saved from starvation. The delivered relief allowed them to survive the most horrible days of winter in the besieged city.

      btw, Ladoga Lake is playing a role today too in preparations against the same combined West.

      Mr “b” @ MOA hosts a review and remarks in re “Sub-Imperial Power” , (Clinton Fernandes) A. Bertrand

      (good essay, thoughtful topic)

      excerpt> “something unique about US geopolitics, and that of Western colonial states before it, in that they have these extremely aggressive characteristics – the impulse to subjugate and pillage others – that actually often harm their security rather than safeguard it. And he explains this with the undue power the moneyed class has over the state in those systems of government. Which is hard to deny if one looks at things historically: for instance it is the East India Company that initiated the colonization and pillage of India, not the British state that only came afterwards to essentially pacify growing rebellion in India so as to perpetuate the ongoing pillage. Or take a more recent example: the war in Iraq”

      (Hudson addresses this elsewhere in some depth!)

      I note that people opine that one group or another is superior to “other” in context struggles Yemen and context struggles Palestine…(and I suppose Kenya, back in the day)…and this puzzles me, as many profess their views do not admit such possibly “tribal” or “racial” ideas. (I agree that it does appear to be true, Yemenis and Palestinian are tougher than their enemies) We wonder and consider that there may be subtleties of genetic response to tribulation over generations, a mechanism, or probably imho, several. Speculate that tough times shape, distort, the future generations in a way that in a snapshot of time, a moment that we live, seems to support wrong-headed racial theories. It’s more a matter of time scales, I bet. Peoples become what they must become, and there must be subtle ways that happens…cultural and biological? Heterogeneous global conditions and pressures force heterogeneous adaptations in a plastic structure…that we call ourselves.

      Can we conceive of the animals (and the rest) as eddies in a vast riverain flood and flow of changing chemical life, within these eddies the third chimps occupy here and there for a brief time – and within this, the tiny micro eddies we see in this instant seem static, and look like “race” …. it’s a flow but because life is short we get a distorted view?

        @Mr P – yes, I thought it was an excellent observation by Fernandes / Bertrand / b – I could spend some time digesting that concept and reworking my understanding of things.

        For example, we talk – even in today’s discussion here – about the end of empire, but we should look to the end of the corporations before we celebrate the end of the superficial “statecraft” that provides cover for them.

        So, it’s an important concept that we should be conscious of, I think. We should discuss this more, perhaps even in the front end of the site somewhere.

        Also, your own observation here is very important, about chimps caught in the snapshot of time, while all along being simply part of the ebb and flow of external forces and internal momenta.

        You place it within a chemical plasticity, and a Buddhist view would agree (without subordinating it to chemistry especially, probably rather subordinating chemistry to it – but not a crucial difference). The point is that humans wisdom can easily accommodate this thought, and I would love to pursue it over time.

        Perhaps discussion itself forms part of that plasticity. Hard times produce strong people, etc – and perhaps important discussion cuts through a lot of that and saves many steps?

          Thank you kindly.

          Mrs P observed a Quaker Meeting and remarked that “They’re Buddhists, and mostly don’t know it.”  I myself am estranged from the communion type Q, but remain in the world, and not of it…hence zero political advocacy, etc…mere witness, except for charity to neighbors in harvest, fixin’ a car for free, such stuff. Beyond my fence I rarely venture.

          I was raised in the Anglican rituals, but they never caught me! (Father had notions)… For a significant time the Quakers married in, several hundred years. This created a conservation of certain characters…both genetic and cultural and philosophical…and an attitude of…well, it’s like the feller wot stood up during the Evangelical preachers’ polemics and shouted “that’s not true Brother!” (of course that’s hyperbole, but that’s the Character Quaker, imv.) Mother knew many details, now lost, her family were “outlaws”, smuggling escaped slaves, constantly in peril of lynching by their neighbors in Ohio, and other stuff…buying slaves to free them. Mind you Scotsirishandhillcountyhardscrabblefolk forged in the Limey civil war…) Now these genes are being re-distributed as the biological breeding experiment “Q” has come to its natural conclusions and the seed are cast back into the gene-pool…the in-marriage has more or less turned into something else.  Ahrekon. Noting that the epigenetic and mysterious “toughening” of a long tribulation has subsided for the Quakers… no more forcing of genetic subtleties. A minuscule eddy flowing away into the vast chemistry…which is more properly electro-chemestry, with spooky action, imho.

          To the matter of “corporation”… indeed is this not a polite way to describe a racket? They meet and plan and operate almost entirely in secret, by law…under the cover of cunning lawyers, hitmenand bribes…calling Mr Epstein…  Thus as mafia US 1060 supplied many valued things and even provided benefit, they became a “licensed” arm of see eye eh… And, Luckup Corp building atomic bombs is not a racket… ?? In working days I never witnessed an honest deal…in sporting days I did…an inversion, if you like, or morals exist upside down in corrupt period of empire.

          Overnight these conspiracies, the licensed ones, can be made and they can be unmade…it’s part of our more significant eddies(?) These conspiracies were hatched out from the European Peninsula, I believe, by accidents of geology, tin copper coal iron, and waves of diseases that periodically depopulate the zone and make tougher and more aggressive people (and they are rich due to their cohorts demise, hence capitalized) more numerous in this brief period…they are geographically set to become global pirate raider, ie Imperial – they have steel, smallpox, measles, and gun-powder…soon enough the chronometer and Newton…more tragic arc than anything else…like a dope fiend with limitless dope…an adventure that end in not a good way. Shall we consider a “corporation” to have the function of a syringe to a junky? 😉 I am inclined to think so.

          The people would be happier if they had agency in their benefit over the conspiracies… Guess imacommie at heart, sympathetic anyway…  Best! P

      There has been SO much going on in West Africa. Mali is rolling back the terrorist hordes of NATO, having taken the Kidal stronghold of the Tuaregs, which had been held from the central gov since the 2011 “Arab Spring,” with Wagner support. As the UN “peacekeepers” increasingly leave, less territory is able to be held by “insurgents” surprise, surprise. The UN is truly a criminal front in Africa. Then, the Niger Junta leader travelled to Mali and Burkina Faso to show his appreciation for their support. And now a possible new coup in Anglophone Sierra Leone, one of the small ECOWAS members, albeit it didn’t support intervention in Niger and kept neutral. So now the Junta Belt may be marching on…. I cannot cover it all. I need to save my energy and time for Genocide.. Just be aware, ground continues to be lost in the Four Corners of Earth for the Last Empire.

      💠@Arab_Africa:  
      Head of the Niger Military Council arrived in Mali. On November 23, the head of the Niger Military Council, Abd al-Rahman Ciani, flew on a presidential plane to Mali, where he met with the head of government, Assimi Goita. This visit is the general’s first international trip since the coup in July of this year.

Immediately after his visit to Mali, the head of the Niger Military Council, Abd ar-Rahman Ciani, flew to the capital of Burkina Faso, Ouagadougou, on the evening of November 23. He was met at the capital’s international airport by the head of Burkina Faso’s transition, Ibrahim Traoré, after which the two leaders held talks at the Koulouba Palace.

      “The use of Art as a maddening Device..”
      The evil of Hollywood is incalculable in seducing and corrupting mankind. Numbing and titillating westerners to the spectacle of their own Disintegration, but also distracting non-westerners from fleeing the sinking ship or fighting back effectively. A Last Empire that kills those that heed remotely through Fear. And this understanding immediately offers the antidote: unplugging from all their narratives, especially their now demonic Arts. Like Gazan children within their prison systems, they overtly seek to wound us all through induced madness. This short review of EA Poe reviews the use of western Art to mesmerize and degrade humanity through the Horror enveloping all aspects of their lives. Unplug! Get sun, exercise, eat organic, laugh and play with children (not like Biden), travel the land, focus on attaining restorative sleep, meditate and pray and charge the spiritual batteries

      yesterday, scrolling smoothie’s threads, i skimmed a comment, quoting a russian from a trench in 404 (i haven’t been able to find it to link, apologies, it was pure tolstoy which i shall hash, regrettably).

      distilled, it went something  like this: they hate us, they’ve been taught to hate us,  their hate has been nurtured, we cannot alter it, they are impervious, we can neither fix nor extricate it, they hold it unto death.  it’s why they keep coming, knowing the fight is futile, they are lost, hate driven to continue coming.  it is tragic & irreversible.

      again apologies for making a hash…words quickly skimmed  kept returning, roiling, i could not stop fumbling my way through that eloquent russian soldier’s pathos; having to kill b/c he was left no other choice, or chance.   existential.

      <span style=”font-size: 16px;”>in times such as these, all thoughts lead back to genocide & palestine.  the similarity of hate in 404 & palestine echoed through the day, through the night.  it’s with me still.</span>

      israelis hate with a fervour greater than the ukrainians, 404 hate is relatively new, nothing like the zionists’ strain, honed for centuries.   yet the two mirror each other.  in this age of reckoning, it seems crucial to come to terms with this serpent, satan within humanity’s heart, so that we never give it life, or light  but extinguish it with love, hope & faith.  here we are called to prayer, to stay connected to our higher self & the divine.  vigilant & faithful.  to love each life as our own.

      hamas’ treatment of hostages, the palestinians returning home & taking their loss & grief to prayer, these graces lead us now, this is our way, there is no other.  we are here, @ this place in time where we fortunate witnesses must for the sake of humanity’s history & future, come to this—love.  our world depends upon it.  forsake hate, forsake fear, forsake avarice & jealousy & return to love.  foster it, nourish love & compassion, let go of domination & corruption.  hold fast our key of humility.

        well said. We should never hate another human. Defend if attacked, and hate the crimes and evil, but not the demented essentially empty vessel. Even Netanyahoo and other fools. Ultimately they work day and night to harm themselves. Tomorrow they could repent, reform and help us unwind their plots.. Some of the best warriors for truth were those who left the other camp. If all blindly hated them and fought them no matter, many a war would have been lost or unnecessary prolonged..

        And the same with indulgence in fear. That was why I posted the piece by EA Poe.. It is why so many do not achieve their potential and become helpless sheep. Why evil prevails today in the face of billions of self-muted onlookers…

      ⭕ Key statements from the Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia, Sergei Ryabkov, on the sidelines of the “Primakov Readings” forum:
      🔹Russia is working on the release of all Russians held by Hamas.
      🔹Waiting for signals from the new authorities in Buenos Aires regarding Argentina’s interest in BRICS membership.
      🔹Dialogue on strategic stability between Russia and the U.S. is unlikely to resume in the foreseeable future in its previous form.
      🔹If Russia decides to respond to U.S. proposals on strategic stability, there will be no concessions in the response.
      🔹Ryabkov ruled out a meeting between Lavrov and Blinken at the OSCE Ministerial Council Meeting.
      💠@Slavyangrad:
      Laszlo Kever, The Speaker of the Hungarian Parliament made a number of interesting statements :

      🔹The US Ambassador does not exist, the UN is a propaganda tool, and the Hungarian opposition politicians are all traitors
      🔹Hungary does not want to leave the European Union because we need a common market

      ….develop a strategy… C’mon man! Ordinarily iiuc, these things are supposed to exist on the shelf… “Hey Bob, pull Plan R, ok?”

      Those comedians at Pet A Gone are highly amusing fellas! “Develop a Strategy, right after I do this line…then lets find some broads…”

      Seriously, do they not say that they had a strategy, and now they don’t because the “enemy” failed to cooperate, again, and again, and… eh? Talk about admitting failure!

      Speaking of chaos and internal contradictions in the Base Zone West, including foundational structure USC as “amended” see>

      Moore v. United States

      They tax income that is never realized…. you pay tax on money you didn’t get. Very democratic…that’s the case topic, not the illegal “ratification”, which everyone wishes would be forgotten. Well, “coveredup”. Speaking of…

      The amendment, I was informed by a political person then involved, was not ratified. That’s to say that “ratification” was recorded fraudulently. The entire argument, which addresses the charming practice of taxing income that you never got… (!) rests on dung. One branch, one feller, of now gone family was on the periphery. He told Mom, and she tol’me.

      However, they’re not going to argue that… and it really doesn’t matter how it’s decided…it itself, res ipsa loqitur, demonstrates a foundational flaw of ineluctable significance…

      All machine fail from such basic defects. “Time’s up”…all have time to failure feature. Living structures may adapt…and carry on until they don’t.

      Speaking of the protean living structure (Type R) and the devastatingly able Zakharova, the interview associated with https://www.rt.com/russia/588110-us-blind-ukrainian-terrorism-zakharova/   was impressive!

        “Make friends. Hard times are a’comin.”

        Might we assume the intent is to strip all friends and the sane from the very company and consideration of the combined West by those parasitical supranationalists hellbent on suiciding it?? To bake in the more complete annihilation and disintegration of Westzone, so that none will deign to even visit to succor the few survivors the Day After? The Gaza Genocide is sufficient to this task, but their continuing efforts — full steam ahead on all quarters — is breathtaking in scope and portent for the West..

        I posted the above sequence, going downwards from non-smiling Ryabkov to the plain-speaking Hungarian NATO-member to the grinning Ice Cream Men to other non-smiling men manning the Russian MIC. My father was a very senior diplomat, with exquisite experience and facility with diplomatic norms and international relations — recall I recounted he visited the Raygun in the Oval Office with our nation’s delegation and was subsequently offered to head a coup back home, which he exposed and fortunately survived. The way Ryabkov spoke is to me almost as shocking as the Gaza Genocide. This is not how senior diplomats speak to empires.. it is an enforced perfunctory communication to degenerate underlings, or children, and largely for the record. We are in the Era of Shoigu for the duration. everything will be determined according to the military-technical

Primakov Readings..I listened…  Recall I am of this, and it’s personally difficult, horrible really, to witness the contradictions combining into exothermic manifestation. At one time the US had options of a good character…wantonly wasted and squandered. We were forced out of politics in 1912…by colonialist elements…I have diaries…and can’t bear to read them.

        At Saturday’s great march in support of Palestine in London, police arrested members of the Communist Party of Great Britain Marxist-Leninist (CPGBML) for having a pamphlet on sale on their stall.
        “The “illegal” pamphlet is entitled Zionism: A Racist, Anti-Semitic and Reactionary Tool of Imperialism.

        Just what is illegal about it, I do not know. The authorship is ascribed to the CPGBML. I have looked through it and it is scrupulous in distinguishing between zionism and judaism. Criticism of Israel and of the zionist movement is not anti-semitic.

        I suspect what may have upset the authorities are the passages on collaboration between some leaders of the zionist movement and the Nazis.”

      ⭕ And so on the 24th, the European satellite Sentinel-1 tried to take an image of Sevastopol in the radar range – only then a surprise awaited it.

      The Sentinel is equipped with a radar that allows it to form an image of the earth’s surface even in conditions of interference. This radar operates at a frequency of 5.405 GHz. Accordingly, any radiation (primarily from military radars) at close frequencies creates interference for the satellite radar.

      But in the photo it is clearly not interference from the operation of one or more radars, but the result of the operation of an electronic warfare complex, jamming the radar frequency with counter interference over a huge area.

      Of course, this will not save you from optical monitoring, but the ability to “turn off” satellite radars is worth a lot. Low bow to the electronic warfare service and engineers!

      I have no idea how the presented pattern of interference might be achieved. It’s astonishing. It also must be giving some people conniption fits! (and some other fellas medals!)

      Radar lore…the spark-gap trigger used in W2 radar produced triggerpulse at slightly random instant that could not be predicted, thus making these simple sets “unjammable” within the skill then generally available.
