This made me laugh… weaponising capital? Echoes of the “bankers are evil” meme now coming from from the public relations pitch of the US navy, except in this case only Chinese bankers are evil.

This is interesting. The German AfD are actually on the ground in Syria and are tweeting from there some more truthful information. Hopefully people are paying some attention. Hats off to the AfD, it’s a good plan, I.e. tell the real story.

Long-Legged Fly
That civilisation may not sink,
Its great battle lost,
Quiet the dog, tether the pony
To a distant post;
Our master Caesar is in the tent
Where the maps are spread,
His eyes fixed upon nothing,
A hand under his head.Like a long-legged fly upon the stream
His mind moves upon silence.That the topless towers be burnt
And men…[Read more] -

Perhaps they’ve seen how well things are going for president Putin in his political career so they’ve decided to try 🙂 … after all, “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”!

So they’re running for the state Duma…er… Congress are they? Why does this feel like Yeltsyn’s Russia?

Oh but they are “former” so that’s fine!

Thanks Freefall. She’s feeling miserable (the doctor calls it malaise) and sleeps much of the time. Thanks for the prayers! I will let her know they continue on her behalf.

Japanese Super Monster Wolf robot anyone? Apparently it works to keep pests away from agricultural crops by imitating a real wolf…. runs on solar power. Not too pricey at just under $5000.

Actually .. I wouldn’t mind one of these charming little “numbers” at the end of my driveway ..
It’s gettin’ pretty damn crazy out there these days and I am surrounded by pests ..
Most of them are family ..
Speaking of … how is your mum doing Cara? .. Am keeping up the prayers ..-

Interesting summary report of foreign direct investment into Africa. Many details in the report illustrating the “business game” going on. Most interesting to me was that the largest sector of investment was real estate…. people buying land in Africa it seems.

The husband of a friend related a story about two years ago about how he ended up at a fancy apartment in New York with some monied, powerful people…. who were raising money for Malema. Powerful fingers stirring the pot. Motivation? If we can’t have you as a client state we will destroy you and then we’ll scoop up the res…[Read more]

Messages being sent I think. There is something metaphorical about the use of a nerve agent. Nerves = system of signals… spies = system of signals.

This whole episode is just despicable. I find it appalling and horrendous how, over and over again, humans are “used up and thrown away” in service of political and ideological goals by power players.

Thank you Yiannis, Dr Farrell, Freefall, and Margaret (and others) who prayed for my mother. I spoke with her this morning and she sounded noticably better. She even asked for an explanation of what was going on in Syria! She has some way to go to recover but I am feeling more confident now. Thank you for your prayers.

And will continue until she has made a full recovery ..

Remote praying , is there such a thing? Yes! It is universal, add side effects remote healing. Good news😊

What a damm sorry state we allow ourselves to accept. I had the luxury of traveling through entire coast of Turkey in the late 80’s. Marmaris, Bodrum, Izmir, Ephesus, Istanbul.
