Russia to the “rescue” in the Middle East? First it was Syria, now perhaps Iraq? And there are those noises Russia has been making about Afghanistan. I wonder if there is an unsaid “agreement” in play: as the oil economy declines (read: is destroyed), Russia is allowed to pick up the broken…[Read more]

The biographical note at the start of the book is quite startling and eerily reminiscent of the Trump of our own times!

It’s very interesting how language is learnt. My husband is Italian but learnt English as a young child so has no accent at all, just that of a native speaker of South African English. I learnt French in high school for five years (along with Afrikaans – 12 years – and Zulu – 3 years), whenever I come across a foreign Latin-based language my…[Read more]

Thanks Kenny. That is quite a different brand of Spanish, I only understood a few words of it! . . . . Languages are so interesting. Over the years I’ve learned French, Italian, Spanish, and German and speak each with varying degrees of proficiency, and find it easy to move into the accent of that language . . . but when stumped for a word in…[Read more]

I guess they are repeating the patterns of speech, hence an accent. We are fast speakers, sometimes I have to tone it down, depending on the circumstances. The other thing, fascinating to me, is the future of English in Puerto Rico and how the language is going to develop. There is a phenomena that is unique in PR, there are more Puerto Ricans…[Read more]

Teaching my two Irish American nephews the Spanish language. These kids have so much energy, an Irish-Puerto Rican nuclear reactor. They are learning so fast and already getting an accent.
I am fascinated by it, because I can control form and grammar, but not the accent. Leaving that to them, to figure it out. Is almost an alchemical process.…[Read more]

This guy has about the most psychotic-looking eyes I’ve ever seen in a free (non-locked-up) human being. He’s like Hitler, but without the full emotional range and expressivity. Meet your new autism-spectrum fuhrer, ladies and gentlemen. And I bet he can’t even give a rousing speech or throw a decent parade…

Why CNN keeps saying White Nationalist ? I being following the events at Charlottesville and they keep repeating White Nationalist. Notice they don’t mention White Supremacist or Nazis. Nope is White Nationalism, this is some gnostic tactic.

If these actions are “spontaneous” and not inspired by the Deep State, then my name is Santa Claus.

Coincidental that Aug. 12th was George Soros’ 87th birthday? Lionel Nation offers an excellent analysis of the cause and purpose of the tragedy. He has no doubt that it is another Soros funded domestic color revolution op. It’s sad but Nation does bring in some humor, imagining casting crisis actors for their roles in the riots. #Ch…[Read more]

Well, well. So is this a “lucky” excuse / trigger for Japanese arming up (or demonstrating that they are in fact armed)? Or is this part of the large plan unfolding around the N. Korea histrionics? Given the long history of Japanese-Korean-Chinese relations, there is more going on here than reported.…[Read more]

More drip fed info in the media that indicates the histrionics are part of a larger plan:
“Even as the rhetorical battle between the US and North Korea threatens to spiral out of control, a report by the Associated Press suggests that their diplomats are already quietly talking to each other.It seems that the diplomatic contacts between the US…[Read more]

And perhaps this? I am not sure about this but it may be the case:
“A case can be made that President Trump is using North Korea to kick the 24/7 Russia-gate narrative out of the US news cycle. It’s certainly working. After all, in Exceptionalistan weltanschauung, the prospect of war and its possible rewards certainly trumps hazy accusations of…[Read more] -
More “evidence” of a larger plan? Condoleeza Rice speaks out against Trump N. Korea rhetoric:
“Susan Rice, former US ambassador to the UN and national security adviser to Barack Obama, has blasted President Donald Trump’s “reckless rhetoric” on North Korea, saying that the US can “tolerate” a nuclear-armed Pyongyang.In an op-ed published on…[Read more]

There are curious rumours out there of significant Japanese influence over Korean affairs (considering the colonial past this is not surprising), but also of Korean families having strong “undercover” influence in Japan. We need a “Japanese Farrell” in this sector – or maybe there is one but the books are not translated…

Watching an interesting 1997 BBC documentary about Sikhs and Sikhism. Lots in here about religion, politics and culture. Very interesting to see parallels in other cultures.

This amateur historian has been drawing historical maps for much of known history. They are of what he calls the “Eastern Hemisphere”. His earliest is 1300 BC and he has quite a few showing various empires at different points in time. I find them facsinating:

Thank you for sharing. I browsed a couple of his maps.

So I was wondering what the difference is between facism and totalitarianism… here’s what I found as an explanation. Which best describes where we are? (If you remove the spectacle of public politics):
http://www.differencebetween.net/miscellaneous/politics/differences-between-fascism-and-totalitarianism-ideologies-and-their-applications/-
According to historian Emilio Gentile, the Italian fascist regime from its inception in 1922 to the defenestration of Mussolini on 25 July 1943 should be defined as authoritarian but not totalitarian…

“Libyan National Army Commander Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar said Monday he raised the issue of Russia providing military help to Libya during his meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
Haftar and Lavrov met earlier in the day in Moscow.
