Alastair Crooke on the shifting geopolitical landscape… and Israel’s options… given the last day’s events, it looks like the answer to his question (posed in the headline) is “yes”.

A nasty bunch of conspirators…. “Genie Energy’s strategic advisory board includes Royal Dutch/Shell owner Lord Jacob Rothschild, former US Vice-President D.

More relevant today with the possible attempt to retake the Golan Heights shaping up as Syr-ran’s response to Trump, Nut, and Yahoo provocations and attempt to strangle Iran economically. Unlikely though it may seem, it could very well end up in Syria retaking the Golan Heights from Israel, given motivated and battle-hardened victorious fighters…[Read more]

I’d like to think the Syrian Arab Army is that confident of their strength but I think it’s got other more immediate problems with ISIS/ISIL/DAESH pockets still needing to be addressed. Plus the US is still camped out in Eastern Syria and shows no signs of leaving….
-
I am not so sure anymore, because except for IDLIB pocket which is policed by Turkey, all other pockets of rebels have been taken over (and are being cleaned out) except the ones in southern Syria, Daraa, etc, all east of Golan Heights. Assad could boost his legitimacy in the sunni arab world like Nasrallah by scoring a victory on the ground.…[Read more]

Well… I’ve been working all night, and listening to my other favorite Bach, Carl Phillip. Mozart is alleged to have said “He(CPE Bach) is the father; we are the children. All that we do right, we owe to him. He who does not own to this, is a scoundrel.” Here’s why (from 1753): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPWeL-7HkJE

Well .. at least you haven’t been listening to Tolec …. 🙂

This is an interesting interview with a professor Isa Blumi on the larger context surrounding Yemen and the war being waged there. It’s the usual story of economic hitman strategies and various parties vying for control of strategic resources and geographic position but the details and particulars are made clearer. Interview starts about 6.30 m…[Read more]

All of the above and MUCH more besides… I think, probably, this is the most difficult book I’ve tried to tackle, and on a very difficult subject. But it’s not just esoterica or theology nor all ancient stuff either… the historical span is…well….. LONG, as is the theological-philosophical… Sorry I can’t be more specific, but it is…[Read more]

But is there enough midnight oil to last the distance. Even George Ann would be scratching her head.

Aptly put, that IS the problem I’m having, not WHAT to write, nor even how, but how to GROUND it, so to speak.

I hope you find space for some of that material you DIDN’T put in the Transhumanism book.

M. Granié, a senior French police officer, has apparently been confined to a mental hospital after making controversial political statements; videos show demonstrators calling for his release. While he might have been imprudent to say (in uniform) that France is a dictatorship, confinement to an insane asylum does not exactly call to mind…[Read more]

If France still has “insane asylums” then it probably doesn’t deserve the good attention of these demonstrators.

I can’t listen to the clip (at work at the moment) but judging from your post, I can only say that I’m so glad to be here … I can now detect the signs of a cult – and it seems to me that this one, the grand EU Cult is showing it’s ugly teeth: “Agree with us or get locked up”. Sounds familiar: “Either you’re with us, or you’re against us”…[Read more]

And the final movement of “it”, as my Oxford friends and I nicknamed this piece. Wq 23, III… this is one of the movements of Wq 23 I analyzed in Thrice Great Hermetica and the Janus Age. It’s composed around two, and only two, motifs, a falling octave (with all possible permutations), and a falling sequential three-note motif, f-e-d. Then a look…[Read more]

The problem with CPE is most folks are NOT aware that his output is in two tracks: “Gebrauchmusik”, i.e., “necessity music,” composed for popular tastes, and then the music which, by his own statement, he composed “for himself and in full freedom.” Among these are many, but not all, of the sonatas, trios, and so on, but MOST of the early…[Read more]

Some light on the control structure of the nuclear-aeronautics complex hidden in opaque legalese (anybody who has read corporate reports attentively will know this). All the more interesting if taken in conjunction with yet more news coming out about nuclear fusion engines for space travel.

The conversation referred to Kozyrev’s concept of time and consciousness; according to the astrophysicist there are irreversible causes for given effects, so that although our present actions can determine the future no future condition can act in reverse. Of course this idea involves more specific definition of all the terms used, otherwise it…[Read more]

The whole discussion on time is stuck in linguistic traps, and one has to define time and space as well (and it seems they are artifacts of something else, even according to physicists – information/consciousness).
One idea is that the present is not an instant. In other words, you can imagine experiential moments of time as spikes on a linear…[Read more]

Clif discusses Kozyrev’s experiments with time (from minute 24):
https://youtu.be/xE0MoTvCopE-
Very interesting, but I am not sure I totally understood the part about time.
Does he mean that retrocausality is only possible if an action is reversible, and not otherwise?
Bear in mind that retrocausality means, for example, that the past can be changed by the future , or to be more precise, an action in the future can cause changes in the…[Read more]-
On a personal note, I believe or fancy that I was able to change the past (a couple of years ago). In other words, something I expected did not come through (I have the dated letter) … being greatly disappointed I withdrew into my shell and started watching — and believing (or being convince) — Phillipe Guilleman’t description of the nature of…[Read more]

Perhaps your concentration affected the consciousness of the persons involved in the circumstances related to the writing of the letter, a record of the past. The later positive response did not change the negative conditions existing in a certain moment of the past, it is just a new set of circumstances. Use this method with caution 🙂

Downunder, Al told me that he’s in the middle of a very important move, and that things will be back up eventually. He indicated to me he’ll make some sort of announcement. That’s all I know.

Thanks Joseph for the heads up, one wonders if Al is moving house or country.

Interesting article and though labelled as “artificial intelligence” this text reading software seems similar to that developed for printed and handwritten texts. Palaeographers will tell us that in manuscripts, and especially the ones by ecclesiastical copyists, a variety of fairly standard letterings were used over the centuries. So that it…[Read more]

yes, that’s going to make it interesting, but I wonder why this needs to be done under the aegis of AI ? Surely not because it’s faster and more efficient. I suspect then plan is to search for something specific by the pretence of innovation.

This could well be.

My favourite is the Adagio from his Pathetique. When I used to play it, I’d be in shivers all the way to the end 🙂

The Waldstein is a bit more neutral — not as melodious. German-engineering on the piano should satisfy Dr Farrell, I think 😉

Well it seems like “classical” music is the tone for the day. So lets shirt gears here and go to Eumir Deodato the world famous Brazilian electric keyboardist. This is a live recording of one of his hits “Super Strut”. If you don’t know who he is, he wrote the music for the movie 2001 a Space Odyssey.

And I wonder what evolution did to modern humans that makes us more fish-like than the great apes (here, I am relying on old knowledge, cannot cite sources but you can research).

… which reminds me of an episode of Blue Planet II where a mini sub went so far down that very little light could penetrate the environment.
