KeymasterYemen war on 4 fronts; Why should they be separated?
⛓️ The border of reality – Tasnim news agency’s interpretation of the war
🔹 To understand the developments in Yemen, 4 fronts must be distinguished.
The expert of the “Border of Reality” program of Tasnim news agency explains four important axes in Yemen’s military developments:
🔹 front of Taiz city
🔹The western front of Lahj province and moving towards Bab al-Mandab
🔹Saudi Arabia’s operations against Ansarullah
🔹 Ansarullah’s attacks deep into the territory of Saudi Arabia🔸Why can’t we get a complete picture of the developments in Yemen without separating these four fronts?

KeymasterPeriol says: “It is difficult to know what is actually going on in the war area. ”
Yes, and the media and the commentary and the action is so fast, that we remain in fog of war.
You are doing the right thing and making the correct choices. Best we can do!

KeymasterSo happy to see Schryver debunk Fiorella Isabel. A little history – I dropped this lady and her regular interview partner Vanessa Beeley like hot cakes. This was when they started blaming Russia for not defending Syria and they would not take a hint from anyone that knew the story .. We saw FM Lavrov being furious at the last 4-country meeting – I thought he was going to toss chairs at the oil sheiks .. he was livid! We knew what Russia did and why they did not start a war in Syria, and we see them today trying to calm troubled waters. We also saw Russia seeing to the safety of Bashar al-Assad. The ladies were idiotic with their expectation that just for them, because they thought it right, Russia should start a war in Syria and they keep to that to today. To today I do not trust any of their proclamations so it is nice to see a scathing ‘come to jesus’ comment.

KeymasterYears ago I read everything about climate change – the pro, the con and the financial con.
What eventually got me to accept the concept of Global Warming was when I realized the Russian Permafrost is really melting and saw some videos and plates of permafrost just falling apart. I had prepared an essay for the old Saker site on the Russian sciences, and then Andrei decided to lock the topic. I had worked hard on that topic and struggled to get a hold of the Russian sciences so, I was not too happy but things happen. I won’t fight for Global warming because I think what is happening on the planet climate wise and change wise may yet have surprises in its future. We just have never experienced this.
But check it out …
Arctic ice retreat gives birth to new islands — sometimes in just one year
New islands are emerging in the Arctic as ice melts, but predicting exactly when a new landmass will break free is virtually impossible, Andrey Leonov, associate professor at the Makarov State University of Maritime and Inland Shipping, told Sputnik.
🔶 Scientists use satellite imagery and other remote-sensing data to track changes across Arctic archipelagos
🔶 A new island can only be declared once the ice bridge connecting it to the glacier breaks
🔶 Hydrographers must verify the new landmass on site before it can be officially recognized and added to Arctic maps
🔶 The rate of glacier retreat varies significantly across the region
One Arctic island emerged in just a year after a 200-meter-wide ice bridge connecting it to a glacier melted far faster than scientists had expected, noted the expert.
More than 15 new islands have been discovered in the Arctic since 2015 — promising real strategic gains.

Solidarity wins case against race-based codes in the legal sector
Solidarity has won a High Court case against the Minister of Trade and Industry’s race-based codes for the legal sector.
The codes were declared invalid, and the minister must pay Solidarity’s legal costs. Several major law firms joined Solidarity as co-applicants.
According to Dr Dirk Hermann, chief executive of Solidarity, the ruling is a major victory against the government’s reckless racial policies.
According to Solidarity, the sector codes, which came into effect in September 2024, amounted to racial scorecards for the workplace, with far-reaching implications for law firms of all sizes.
One of the most controversial changes was the lowering of the threshold for “exempt enterprises” to an annual turnover of less than R5 million. This meant that even smaller firms had to comply with stringent requirements.
Solidarity argued that the sector codes were unlawful, irrational and unconstitutional.
According to Solidarity, the codes not only undermine the independence of the legal profession but also impose an unrealistic administrative and financial burden on legal practitioners.
Solidarity also argued that the public consultation process was flawed.
According to Anton van der Bijl, head of Solidarity’s legal services, 76% of the comments opposed the codes, but those comments were simply ignored.
According to Van der Bijl, the court found that the minister’s decision to issue the codes was irrational and that he had failed to comply with statutory and constitutional requirements. The codes were therefore set aside with costs

KeymasterThe Araghchi thing will go away. It is just Iran and someone is mad because he did something they did not like. They are after Ghalibaf as well. There is a few that do not want to negotiate at all and any contact with the US is considered bad.

KeymasterOh, I have one answer and I can tell you about Galloway. It is totally self-serving. Secrets Revealed: George is my final break to get some time free on a Sunday. He has two interviews plus his own and we hear some from Europe which we don’t usually feature. I don’t have to check him before I post him so, for me, Galloway means a little feet-up worry free time. I put him up and put my feet up and worry to listen to him in the evening. Most of the rest I have to check and listen to.

KeymasterA little bit for Mr P:
Nobel Prize in medicine awarded for method showing how nerve cells shape memories, feelings
Karl Deisseroth (US), Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel (Germany) were honored for developing optogenetics
The technique uses light to control nerve cells and has transformed brain research

Keymaster“Thoughts of the “fluid” of agencies that may account for Jung’s thesis of collective subconsciousness being real, and not metaphysical, continue to come to mind. As Persig persuasively argued, however, “science” while it increases knowledge also increases the unknown, since every investigation produces more questions than answers. More ignorance than understanding. At least so far in history this is the principle.”
Well, Jung said that the collective unconscious is ‘stored’ as an 1)inherited, 2)universal layer of the human psyche shared by all people, distinct from our personal, individual memories. (Genetics was not so prominent in his time but it was there as part of the scientific body of work). So, then he went to define all of that into the archetypes. He said that the collective unconscious is passed down genetically as a biological and psychological blueprint. OK, there is that. Genetics and these days as I mentioned, epigenetics. But one cannot touch it or see it really. Only effects …
These days I question that universal aspect – perhaps only in the archetypes. Learnt too much of too many to easily accept that those ‘German’ archetypes are universal (and I am not dissing Jung .. I am a Jungian). But this is my own musing and a piece of Jung’s work that I question these days – it just feels that it is not applicable universally on his archetypical structures. The rest OK .. I can go with it.
There is this one guy in the Chinese group who was educated in classical Chinese schooling. And he has given me bits and pieces of the I Ching – Book of Changes Hexagrams, of which there are 64. If those are not Jung’s archetypes but only massively developed then I don’t know anything. (And I don’t know anything.)
I don’t think it is biological. I mean we have Einstein’s Spooky Action at a Distance that shows the biological effect — of these frequencies and patterns which are stored according to Jung .. Einstein’s Spooky action at a distance one can also see effect, where, if the same DNA is stored in 2 places (does not matter how far apart – other side of the world would be fine), and one piece is stimulated with a certain frequency or a set, the effects of the stimulation can be seen or measured in the other piece. So a biological effect can be seen, but how truly biological is that? Same with humans or animals or birds or anything alive.
I can truly disappear into all of this for years. But, it may all be analysis paralysis.

KeymasterGot to think a bit but I’ll be back. Telomeres are biological. Jung’s collective unconsciousness as a theoretical construct is metaphysical. There is interaction. I would search first in a sphere of epigenetics, just as a first thought. That is the first sphere that comes to mind that combines those thinkings.
