    Thanks for the update on Zone Cuba, Mr P.

    I also miss Fidel, and Ernesto.

    I like the gentle Southern way she uses the f word. And I am not sure, but it sounds like she affectionately calls them the Republic#nt Party!

    Thank you, Periol, for the wealth of information.

    I am a little puzzled about the intent of these coded 666 messages. It is obviously not addressed to the average member of the public. And it strikes me that it is intended as a tribute to some entity, otherwise it makes no sense.

    I read that article by John Helmer that Cronetoo posted. This makes for depressing reading, but I hope this is some sort of chess move. Having sacrificed so much in blood and treasure, no outsider is qualified to speak for Russia, of course. President Putin is well aware of the machinations of the “West”, so I hope there is some plan that we are unable to fathom yet.

    Thank you very much, Cronetoo, for that link to the Indigenous Revolution.

    I simply used “fossil fuel” in the conventional sense. As to the origins of this liquid, I am sure there are many theories, including the one developed by Immanuel Velikovsky in Worlds in Collision, who proposed that Venus was ejected from Jupiter and caused cataclysms on Earth, allegedly raining hydrocarbons (oil) down upon the planet. I wouldn’t know, a little before my time!

    In the spirit of always looking at improving our understanding of this subject, I feel we have not looked at the whole picture.

    To create electric power, we still need to burn fossil fuels at the power plant, and there are the losses associated with transmission to the points of use.

    Solar and wind have costs associated with the technology that do not make them economically viable. And nuclear have long term risks that are hard to quantify.

    This interview that Nima had with Pepe in Hong Kong started out ostensibly as addressing Trump’s latest trade shenanigans. But it turned out to be a master class on Chinese history going back to Deng Xiaoping to the present. Really worth a listen:

    I can’t get over the parallels with Vietnam. The French leave, the Americans moved in. Now in Burkina Faso, the Yanks are pushing a load of lies, to insert themselves. Thankfully, Russia will back them up. Unlike Syria, Ibrahim is made of sterner stuff.

    Great news about the oil in Burkina Faso.
    About the origins of oil, I remember years ago a friend of mine gave me a book to read, by a Russian author, about how oil came to our planet from a collision with an oil containing meteor.
    I just searched the internet, Google, Amazon, no luck finding the book.

    ZeroHedge has a good article on the recently released Covid 19 report:

    https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/lab-leak-white-house-unveils-massive-report-true-origins-covid-19

    Some of the takeaways:

    *The Biden Administration’s HHS engaged in a multi-year campaign of delay, confusion, and non-responsiveness in an attempt to obstruct the Select Subcommittee’s investigation and hide evidence that could incriminate or embarrass senior public health officials.

    *The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature.

    *A lab-related incident involving gain-of-function research is the most likely origin of COVID-19. Current government mechanisms for overseeing this dangerous gain-of-function research are incomplete, severely convoluted, and lack global applicability.

    *The WHO’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic was an abject failure because it caved to pressure from the Chinese Communist Party and placed China’s political interests ahead of its international duties.

    This brings up a concern I have about the CCP, and one-party governments. Because the Biden government was voted out, this report is now available to the democratic world. Democracy is not of course the best form of government. But communism is much worse, in my opinion, because you could have a mass casualty event, and the world would not be any wiser.

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

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