KeymasterI’m not sure about Medvedev .. I think he was giving a warning.
Got a 2nd source for India. Site is a bit messy!
KeymasterToday, keep a little container of salt next to you and lick with salt anything strange.
We gotto wait a bit. The only sure thing is a rocket to Kerch and that was reported by the local government – but no reports of what ..
Medvedev is playing the flute –
“If the attempt to attack the Smolensk (Desnogorsk) nuclear power plant by NATO missiles is confirmed …
He does not say there was one .. He is saying … In the event of …
Lots of smoke and mirrors today – it is a slow news day – people are making their news.
That little Mevedev speech is being twisted around something fierce – everyone is reading their own wishful thinking. The direct translation ….
If an attempted attack by NATO missiles is confirmed
Anyway the one thing that looks correct, is that India is pulling out of a BRICS Currency. Note, I have not seen this anywhere else. So far, it is a one-source report and oh boy .. we cannot believe what we see, and also what we don’t see.
India’s External Affairs Minister, S. Jaishankar said in a press conference on Monday that India has no plans for a BRICS currency. The minister made the big declaration a month before the summit hinting that India might back out from creating the new currency.
KeymasterThe Ancient Cooling systems are great for their climate. When we lived in the desert, we had one of these evaporative coolers (electrical) and it was fine up to a certain temperature and then it was just hot! They’re called swamp coolers. For us, tropics, they are not effective whatsoever as the air is moisture-laden anyways. We have air conditioners running around the clock now because it is just hot! If it does not rain regularly, we get baked into the earth and the cool tiles in the house are hot under my feet. A little rain, and the earth cools down. I’m gasping for the end of August and then we will have decent and lovely weather again. I usually step out first thing in the mornings to get a look at what the outside looks like, and these days, first look is up to see if we have cloud cover between us and the sun. Today, it is whispy – oh boy.

KeymasterMajor disengagement of minds.
I’m always too late to add my comments here. Stupid stupid question. We have an example already. See what happened to Macron (before the current meltdown) and angled for a BRICS invitation. NO, NYET, FU Smartly! was the answer.
That answers my question.
KeymasterIn relation to the above, Larch hopes that as things shake out, the US will be welcomed as a participant to the world around the round table.
I see that only in many many years. I wonder Mr P, is that a regular feeling US side? For me, from the outside, I see the anger, and only many years and many real actions of goodwill may change that.
KeymasterDo read this … planning, or rather not planning but leaving space, for evolution, fast evolution.

In order to safeguard national security and economic interests, China’s Ministry of Commerce and General Administration of Customs announced export restrictions on gallium and germanium-related goods on July 3.
This statement goes into effect on August 1, 2023. Gallium and germanium are both critical elements for #chip manufacturing. China produces 96% of the world’s raw #gallium, a soft, bluish metal used in making chipsets, while no US domestic gallium has been recovered since 1987.
The US depends on imports for 100 percent of its gallium supply – and on China for 53 percent of those imports.
Gallium is also one of 35 elements that the #US government calls a national security concern.
The announcement came just before US Treasury Secretary #Yellen was scheduled to travel to China. After the chip prohibitions imposed by the #Biden administration and #Blinken’s pompous trip to China, the Chinese have concluded that the United States is not to be trusted.
This sends a clear message to the United States that imposing chip bans or other sanctions on #China will only result in the downfall of the United States.

KeymasterA little bit more happiness:
KeymasterWe’ve seen the start of the Great Losing this past week! Big Time! Even Ukrainian Zalushni (reconstituted) says so. He has no more military. Stick a fork in it, its done! Little fat ladies singing everywhere, still hiding under the furniture, but they be singing!
KeymasterAHH, sorry for this very late reply re Twitter .. Yes, lots of changes and also it was cut in France, so those cuts may have reached strange places.
I have a Twitter account but I never tweet. So, they will probably get to me as well. My account is there only for following others and I have a big bunch of private lists in there, i.e., not visible to the public. Telegram has announced TG Stories. I’ve not looked at it, but it will be a big headache if my Twitter lists disappear as I have all the Chinese that tweet in English in there. Better go and make a list of my list.
KeymasterWe had a very tough day.
Here is a snippet of a conversation between me and Tech.
Tech: “Go and reload these core files – and a list of files.”
Me: “I don’t wanna – I’m scared!”
Tech: “Wussy!”
Ok, that of course put the gauntlet down – it was a major provocation lol. I reloaded those core files.
I guess we just have to ready for it – any time, any place and we get hit. The reason for the latest, is the BRICS provocations. Now Lavrov spoke out about it. Before now, it was myself and Pepe.
I’m with China today .. the People’s Liberation Army will not hesitate to “beat the crap out of” whoever stands in the way.
KeymasterA little decompression. Humus, humous, whatever is a staple in our house, but recently because of dietary requirements we have not had too much of it.
The time has come and I have garbanzos soaking on the kitchen counter top. Please! not the canned stuff! You can make this – just make it – as people scramble eggs .. No instruction is needed. But this time I’m doing it up a little. I like it not so very very smooth, so for that, you have to keep some skin on – old old style and not new new smooth as silk style.
Beans soaking, add a little baking soda for those skins, take off about half the skins by rubbing beans between your hands, rinse beans really well and a number of times, put beans up to cook with a pinch of salt and that will be quick if they were well soaked but not oversoaked – depending on the age of your dried beans.
Cool a little and into the food processor. First process garlic, lemon or lime juice and cumin together. No, I have no idea how much – you have to have ‘hands’ for this one and read a bunch of recipes so you can get used to the ‘how much’ of things. I use a whole bag’o’beans, and perhaps five garlic ‘teeth’ as they call it here, a lemon or lime juiced, and half a teaspoon of cumin, depending if you use tahini or not. You may need another pinch of salt.
Then, the question – humous is humous – tahini humous is tahini humous – depends on what you like. If I have fresh tahini, and we do have a field of sesame seeds on the farm, make tahini humous and now add tahini. Not too much, because I like the garbanzo and garlic and lemon taste and just a dab of tahini.
Now add the beans to your first mix – and process with about half a cup of olive oil. Repeat so as not to overload the food processor. Keep enough out to eat, and freeze the rest in containers. It has to rest a bit, for the flavors to meld.
Now comes the fun part – either make some kind of flatbread quickly, or use tortilla or other big hearty chips of some kind, or even toasted bread if you have nothing else on hand, and serve with black olives and any kind of pickles on the side and fresh big summer tomato slices and a further drizzle of olive oil over the top. Garnish with a bit of curly parsley or even some chopped sweet basil.

KeymasterNEW YORK SUPREME COURT: COVID VACCINES ARE NOT VACCINES:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. won the case COVID VACCINES ARE NOT VACCINES.
Finally the ruling of the Supreme Court “COVID VACCINES ARE NOT VACCINES”.
Fox News reported 20 June 2023:New York Supreme Court reinstates all employees fired for being unvaccinated.
Hardly anyone noticed that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. won the case against all the pharmaceutical lobbyists. Covid vaccines are not vaccines. In its ruling, the Supreme Court affirms that the damage caused by Covid mRNA gene therapies is irreparable. Since the Supreme Court is the highest court in the United States, there are no further appeals and the appeal options have been exhausted. In an initial statement, Robert F. Kennedy emphasized that this was a success that was only possible thanks to the international cooperation of a large number of lawyers and scientists.
Of course, this ruling opens up new possibilities internationally against the entanglement of politics and the pharmaceutical industry. In Switzerland in particular, this ruling is likely to make waves, because Switzerland has a special position here with its federal constitution. On the one hand, the Nurenberg Code is in the constitution with Article 118b, and the misuse of genetic engineering on humans is prohibited in Switzerland, according to Article 119 of the Federal Constitution. This is supplemented by Article 230 bis of the Criminal Code,…Thus, the perpetrators face up to 10 years in prison.
But this verdict should also make the rest of the world sit up and take notice, because the Nuremberg Code has international validity and is also included in Article 7 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. In the case of criminal charges, reference must be made in the declaration to the thalidomide scandal in order to lend particular weight to the significance of this charge. So politics is in for a hot fall. It should also be noted that the German lawyer Dr. Rainer Fuellmich and more than 100 German lawyers have participated in these trials.
No media talks about it, neither in Switzerland nor in Europe. This will be reported, if at all, even in the government loyal German public media, unfortunately, only when it is unavoidable for politics.
KeymasterYeah, I did not buy the helicopter shoot down or the fixed wing shoot down initially. But Prigozhin himself said that the fixed wing families will receive some money. Then again, he said a lot of things.
My opinion is that Prigozhin, and I listened to his ranting and his telegram shoutings, experienced a psychological breakdown. If I noodle on it, I think he was bought, but not long time ago, quite recently, and he broke down, as he was really a patriot. I think it is the bought status that drove him to psychotic break. A little more .. In the old days, we called this a bipolar episode. Where one is happy, so happy that you will believe you can fly off the roof and keep flying, and the other pole a deep depression, so deep that hospitalization and straight jacket is necessary, because you will fly off the roof and not keep flying. Then you think you are Cleopatra at least for a while, until the BigMeds cocktail starting with Lithium kicks in. These days in modern language it would be spectrum language. He did not present quite normal at the end there, no matter how broad one kicks out the ‘false-normal’ description.
I once worked with a fella, many years ago, and only for the paper and the cap and the gown, because I was headed up a different direction, that bought a bunch of ships full of rice while he was on high ground – all good, all legal, correct documentation, bank guarantees and all that, but by the time his bunch of ships full of rice arrived, he was in straight jacket. Never knew what happened to the rice.
I’m sorry that the mystique of PMC Wagner has dissipated like mist before the sun. We need some heroes. And there are some Wagner groups back in Syria. I guess the Russian will pick that up.
