From the article: "The silence of the dead Is the loudest voice, heard with the soul. Not just soldiers But children mothers and fathers murdered. Do you feel their fear At the darkness? Listen with heart Never forget." (JM) When I was a teenager (JR High School, not Middle School whatever the hell that means) my oldest brother was killed in the Vietnam War, and this is what awakened me to EMPIRE! Watching my father cry during his first-born child's funeral. I have a picture of Robbie in his Army uniform, and I think to myself, what a baby face: What a waste! He was not allowed to marry his High School Sweetheart. Never to have children nor grandchildren like his siblings. Not allowed to enjoy that wonderous world of adventure which takes place in our world: The Good. The Bad. And the Ugly!

Thanks for the exposition on how the Iranians will mine the Strait of Hormuz to keep it closed. Seems the US military will huff and puff and never achieve its goal.

“What could go wrong?”

Well, rather than working with safer, cleaner, more efficient technologies that could have evolved over the past 47 years, the US will bring a number of old technology nuke plants on line. Stores of spent fuel rods will accumulate at a rate far greater than ever before. They will require power and water to keep them cool for 10 or 20 years before being sent for reprocessing or dry-cask burial. If power drops for whatever reason, diesel generators will be fired up to keep the cooling going… if there is diesel to be had. I guess windmills and solar cells can also be used … ha, who are we kidding.

If the spent fuel rods from numerous nuke plants can’t be kept cool, the last thing humanity will need to worry about is carbon emissions.

Here in Japan I just did a video on the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant and their efforts to clean it up. Not easy. I also remember working years ago for the people building it, talking to an engineer over drinks and him saying, "it will be an accident waiting to happen".

There was a time when Amsterdam was the target of Portuguese Jews, who fled from Spain, where the Christians kicked them out. - After the wars with The British Empire -they lost- they moved to the city of London. But their language remained. Folks speech. Here a translation into English:

Song, based on many Jewish words in use in Amsterdam in 1955. Every coin and banknote had its own Yiddish name. It is difficult to translate. Here it is:

Poen, poen, poen, poen

One says geld, the other money, but we say poen

Poen, poen, poen, poen

You wouldn't believe what you can do with poen

You often hear people say that happiness isn't for sale

But money works wonders and especially when there's a lot of it

Poen, poen, poen, poen

Poen, poen, poen, poen, poen, poen

A duppie is a beissie, a kwartje is a heitje

A gulden is a piek and a rijksdaalder is called a knaak

A tientje is a joetje, twenty-five piek is a geeltje

But what is a hundred-guilder note called, ?

meier, hit !

Poen, poen, poen, poen

One says money, the other money, but we say poen

Poen, poen, poen, poen

You wouldn't believe what you can do with poen

You often hear people say that happiness isn't for sale

But money works wonders and especially when there's a lot of it

Yes, yes, yes, Poen, poen, poen, poen

Poen, poen, poen, poen, poen, poen

A boy is a dude, a girl is a greed

She dresses up nicely when she goes hooking up

A tan on her face, some powder on her nose

Her guy says lovingly: "Now you look just like a pipe of gunpowder"

You often hear people say that happiness isn't for sale

But money works wonders and especially when there's a lot of it

Yes, yes, yes, Poen, poen, poen

Poen, poen, poen , money, money, money.

Here the song from 1955:

They moved to the city of London, to create/strengthen the city of London? Maybe we shouldn’t have let them go?

I wrote a document 'The Monster', to avoid being sanctioned or worse.

It explains the origin of what we experience as 'Evil' and is a short story of how The Monster and its tentacles grew and moved from Empire to Empire.

Its main weapon is Language, Narratives and its tools are inhumane Brainwashed puppets who were forced to be silent and to do what they were told. You don't have any idea what Power controls them, you cannot imagine that Power.

Short: After the fall of West-Rome the Money changers from Rome didn't feel safe, parts went to Londinium in 400 AD, other parts to Venice and some to Byzantium.

From Venice they went to Amsterdam, From Byzantium they fled after its nearing fall to Khazaria and after its fall joined the Middle Europe Money Chancers, until they together joined and left Europe to create The British Empire around ~1900-1917.

I am afraid that no country has the Power to influence them. They are the rulers of empires. (It changed its name in American Empire...)

Thanks Cassandra uit Schagen. Can you elaborate a bit about the creation of the British empire around ~1900-1917 or is that a typo?

Cassandra Occupy's avatar

Thank You, Marledonna.

My very short summary here means:

'they together joined and left Europe to create The British Empire around ~1900-1917.'

Meaning: The European money changers joined, and together they joined the 'City of London' and became part of the British Empire in 1917. But there was a discussion going on from ~1900, mainly around the Zionist movement. From that moment this tentacle started to grow and take over the American Colony by controlling President Woodrow Wilson and drag it into the war with the German Empire. The lending of money to the German Empire stopped and went to Britain. - A lone soldier 'Adolf' heard this in the trenches and swore to fight the Power which betrayed Germany.

“But the US is a bubble world. A bubble economy. A bubble society in a bubble universe.”

Says it all.
