Two civilizations, two visions on the world.

The year of the Horse – Fire Horse for this year.  (I don’t know if we can mix cultures and mix Revelations with a very long standing Chinese 12 year interval zodiacal calender.  The one has been there forever and the other is the writings of someone who ate desert mushrooms lol (in my view – and not for everyone).

There is a fascinating legend about how the horse was chosen as one of the zodiac animals. In the ancient tales, the horse had magnificent wings. It was incredibly powerful, capable of running on land, swimming in water, and flying in the sky. Later, the horse was hailed as the “heavenly horse” and became the God of Heaven Jade Emperor’s favored steed in the Heavenly Palace. However, due to the Jade Emperor’s excessive indulgence, the horse gradually grew arrogant and often behaved recklessly. One day, it broke out of the Heavenly Palace and charged towards the East Sea, trying to force its way into the Dragon Palace. The tortoise guarding the Dragon Palace, along with the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, attempted to stop it. Humiliated and enraged, the horse kicked the tortoise to death. When this incident was reported to the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor ordered to remove the horse’s wings and imprison it under the Kunlun Mountains for 300 years as a punishment.

More than 200 years later, when the ancestor of humanity passed by Kunlun Mountains, the horse cried out, “Kind human ancestor, please rescue me. I am willing to serve you for life.” Moved by its plea, the human ancestor saved the horse. To repay the favor of being saved, the horse accompanied the human ancestor to the human world and dedicated its life to serving him and his descendants. In daily life, it plowed fields, pulled carts, and carried heavy loads, ready to do any work. During times of war, it was saddled and armed, charging onto the battlefield, sharing life-and-death moments with its master and achieving numerous military feats. From then on, the horse and humans became inseparable good friends.

When the Jade Emperor was preparing to select twelve zodiac animals, the horse was one of the most highly recommended by humans. Considering its meritorious deeds and contributions to humanity, the Jade Emperor approved the horse’s inclusion in the zodiac.

As for why the horse ranks seventh among the Chinese zodiac signs, a traditional explanation related to the Chinese time-keeping method goes like this. In the twelve time slots cycle of a day, the seventh period, “Wu” from 11:00 to 13:00, is when the sun reaches its zenith, casting its most intense rays. The horse, with its spirited and fiery temperament, is much like the mid-day sun. A prime example is the red-maned steed, whose vibrant coat and energetic demeanor mirror the brilliance and intensity of the sun at noon. Thus, the horse is associated with the “Wu” period, and accordingly ranks seventh among the zodiac signs.

So, in this philosophy, year of the horse, or this year the red maned fire horse is time of energy.  In Chinese culture, the Horse represents vitality, perseverance and success. There’s a popular phrase, “马到成功” (mǎ dào chéng gōng), which translates to achieving success swiftly and smoothly, just like a victorious horse arriving at the battlefield. It implies that success can be reached rapidly and with less struggle.

That is why Xi Jinping made the Fire Horse part of his new year speech.  It is a positive portend.

Anyone that still follows or takes a look at the Epstein files – she is a serious researcher and it is easy to scroll through.  There are some amazing things, specifically because Taylor-Green had some interview and told that when she insisted on releasing the files, Trump called and screamed at her that ‘his friends will get hurt’.

I’ve seen a number of reports that Bella1 was boarded in the last day or so.  So I really hope the reporting that she is still running, is true.  Mehr news says she is surrounded and under surveillance.  That would also be just fine!  Because another one slips through behind her.

Mr P, I have two Chinese X feeds that in the past I got a lot of info from.  OK, so there is history.  They both claim special knowledge and some weeks ago, they both went stealth and closed to only verified viewers.  But, there has been a change – both are open now again, but much less detailed and interspersed with general information.  So now and again there are snippets here which may be lost on me, but you may find something.

Agitprop, for sure, but historically these two were my go-tos for planes, ships, drones, missiles, and stuff of that nature.

That is true and very close to home.  We have a very good friend of the site whose account disappeared just a short while ago.  Nothing so far has helped to restore it.  Of course they don’t say why, they just make stupid noises.  I had some chat with Pepe and he has hardened himself as well with having to go to Europe so every now and again.  It is a tricky thing.  Does anyone remember Dr Reiner Fuelmich .. the covid attorney?  There is an update on his state on Strategic culture … https://strategic-culture.su/news/2025/12/23/the-vindication-and-brutal-punishment-of-dr-reiner-fuellmich/

and he is only now being sentenced.  They kept him in jail for years.  https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/niedersachsen/braunschweig_harz_goettingen/Goettinger-Anwalt-Fuellmich-zu-Haftstrafe-verurteilt,fuellmich126.html

This all is fully fledged fascism now.

I have seen no footage of Lavrov leaving Africa – Cairo. The joint statement was read last evening – Russia-Africa Ministerial. Lavrov made a speech last evening, Cairo Time. Unless in the middle of the night, I don’t see it. And I don’t think Lavrov will land in Germany. That is what I know.

Anyway, looking through the various reports, I have no clue where Lavrov is.

Dugin? has gone nuts. A total Trumper, hanging onto the western schtick. The west drives everything and it is all a game.
