Caravaggio Conversion on the way to Damascus 1600-01 Something’s been nagging me for the past few days, and I’m not sure I’ve figured out why y
[See the full post at: The Dying Days Of An Empire]In the 1970s/80s the US turned a blind eye to South Africa’s apartheid regime while the South Africans fought a 12 year long US proxy war in Angola (probably over oil rights). When Russian Foxbat Migs joined the fray, South Africa chickened out of the war and the US suddenly had a ‘Damascus moment’ and went from tacitly supporting the South Africans to crushing their economy. Within 6 years the Apartheid regime was over. Weaponisation of the US$ has been going on for decades.
So, the US cyberattack on Iran failed, and all those defensive systems lit up Thursday morning, before the attack, and it had to be canceled. I like that a whole lot.

They are not going to put up with any more dictating to Venezuela and Iran, but they will be nice and polite and flattering. Is he agreement-capable? Does it matter, now?

What is going on in that weird painting?No, not that I can see; but the rest? I don’t know either.
Conversions could often be brutal and deadly though…
Caravaggio was reputed to be a violent person and his art work seemed to bear that out…“Conversions could often be brutal and deadly though…”
I used to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit pretty quickly, when I was going to high school in Japan.
I read the stuff about Saul of Tarsus getting knocked down by a blob of divine light, but I always felt odd about the account, and odd about a lot of other miracles, too.I used to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit pretty quickly, when I was going to high school in Japan.
I read the stuff about Saul of Tarsus getting knocked down by a blob of divine light, but I always felt odd about the account, and odd about a lot of other miracles, too.LOL; once upon a time, long, long ago, I seem to recall the U.S. was going metric in the 80’s.
Nary a peep since…
One nice thing about living in Asia; they’re metric; no conversions (violent or otherwise).
😉Interesting; miracles have become like hero’s; there’s one around every corner…
Why do you suppose that so many of the major actions by the United States appear as though they are deliberately intended to destabilize and to ultimately collapse the entire human industrial society?
And by the way, the seemingly universal habit of talking about a President of the United States as if the person is anything more than a hood ornament and somehow is in possession of some decision making authority drives me completely crazy. I find it to be patently absurd, illogical, and completely incredible. Perfectly intelligent and educated people do it all over the world – WTF?
Absolutely. He’s just a guy. One guy can’t be everywhere and do everything, so he is by definition a team, a power block.
“What Trump did comes awfully close to signing the death warrant for the USD as the global reserve currency. And it’s really only because he and his people weren’t paying attention.”
He said he would do this coming in. He said he understood this during the campaign. He says exactly where the U.S. needs to go according to his team, that is, the U.S., America First, NOT world interests and domination for Exxon/Raytheon. When you stop world domination, you MUST retreat to your borders, which his faction of Military/Intel put him in for vs the OTHER military intel in of CIA/Google (but I repeat myself) and for some weird reason the DNC. So that means industrializing and stopping imports, tariffs, and KILLING THE USD RESERVE CURRENCY that makes the present system exist.
It’s literally impossible he and his team don’t know this, and that’s BESIDES that after 40 years, compound interest must mathematically kill it, and Bush/CIA/WorldManiac™ team openly tried to re-set the system by taking over the world using the denial and control of oil in 2001. Obama attempted to extend the clock by invading, splitting Russia’s attention and starting WWIII in Bzrezinsky’s Ukraine, getting enough gold to hold the Reserve currency together for a few more years. Yet although every letter agency, President, advisor, Fed Bank, economist, and even dummies like me know this, he doesn’t? He and his team must be the only people on planet earth who don’t, then, ’cause all actions of everybody else, every nation, army, service, market, and investor says they do.
““All of these countries should be protecting their own ships on what has always been … a dangerous journey,” Trump said. “We don’t even need to be there in that the U.S. has just become (by far) the largest producer of Energy anywhere in the world!”
This is literally signing the death warrant of the USD, or coming as close to it as can be done. This is him advertising not only the FACT that the Petrodollar is dead, not only that he’s in favor of it, but even the TIMING of when, which is soon. If not, 500 billionaires would call him on the phone 5 minutes later and explain to him exactly what he didn’t know. Just like they would have the last 50 times he said the same thing, but not as strongly. HE KNOWS. We all know. Everybody knows. They’re just not going to tell you. Partially because the people have intentionally been made too stupid to understand and so pig-headed they wouldn’t believe the truth if you tied them to a chair and made them watch the raw footage, but partially because it doesn’t matter to line cooks at Taco Bell, it only matters to diplomats and traders.
Everybody wanted the U.S. out. Everybody wanted the U.S. to stop being an empire. Everybody said it was inevitable, marked by each of many military and financial points. Yet when it happens, nobody knows nothin’ and it’s all some kind of weird accident that was prepared for 20 years, was an open insider coup, an ongoing battle on the front page of the NY Times, and have had more white papers written on it than anyone could read in a lifetime.
The other half is: Yes, each “accident” by Trump, who is constrained by his internal own civil war and therefore is doing exactly what the Deep State wants him to at every point it will utterly destroy the USD reserve currency, destroy CIA credibility, destroy the sense of their power and ability, and if China and Russia won’t move, by GOD we’ll f’ing MAKE them get out of the SWIFT system, MAKE them create a parallel financial structure, and MAKE them get out of the USD, OR ELSE. The Deep State, being composed of mouth-breathing idiots like Bolton, approve and cheer these USD$ attacks that will destroy the Deep State warmongers (but I repeat myself). Where that aligns, Trump — or rather his team — says, “Really? You’re totally right! Let’s do that thing! You know, the thing where you guys lose to some random Guido, get bounced out of Syria, strengthen Russia’s internal market, break your PPT treaties, force people to start to fight for their sovereignty, force Europe to stand up for themselves for a change, and get the planet off the USD before it fails and they blame us.” On other, non-USD, non-ending affairs, you notice he’s still fighting the Deep State and getting slandered daily.
Since the shoot out, Iran and the U.S. seem to be on the same page now. Iran is calling Trump a Dotard and Trump is calling them Rocketman, as we’ve seen already beta tested in NoKo. This keeps the idiots in the media busy attacking shadows so they can focus on hammering out real treaties. Why? Because if they weren’t slinging the hottest rhetoric they could find, He-who-cannot-be-named would blow up a few more ships and a couple more Boeings at 300 civilians per. So long as they two LOOK like they’re on path for WWIII, the Deep State, Raytheon, CNN, and Rachael Maddow are atwitter with a joy barely contained, and can leave all us non-psychopaths alone for an hour. Blessed relief.
Bitcoin up another $1,000 a day. It’s one of the few markets (mostly) not rigged. Gold that Russia/China are buying will only go up in the re-set to a Gold Trade Standard at the end of the USD reserve, because that re-pricing IS the monetary re-set. Coming soon to a planet near you.
So please, Dr D, please clarify for me: In the US civil-war-at-the-top, who currently has the upper hand: the isolationist/nationalists, who want to pass the big-enchilada-baton to anybody who will take it, or their subset who want to do so towards a more stable, “fairer” multi-polar world, or the Zio-globalist financier-corporatists, who want a permanent and uniform human-Gods/subhuman social order for the planet?
