    The conspiracy of human meddling and bumbling around with mono directional selective breeding, regularly makes a very strong case for itself. Even vegetable crop selection having prerequisites with priorities more focused on aesthetics and hardiness than mineral content.

    Yep, the boxer breed, small hips for aesthetics = compulsory caesarean birth.

    Another thought. It has been said that money is like manure. Keep it piled up and it stinks, spread it around and one can have abundant and healthy growth. Ergo; making money with money is like trying to make manure grow into more manure. Maybe the logic is not bulletproof.

    Modwiz, "Trying to make manure grow into more manure"

    Whether or not your logic is flawed, that's funny. You're spot on about spreading out the money. We need abundant and healthy growth. Not the growth at all costs regardless of the outcomes. Money as it's own end is destructive.

    With regard to the British referendum, I have to wonder if some psychological warfare is not apparent in the picture the press used to represent the Brexiters. There are three people in this picture and none of them would be called comely. The woman on the right, pushing what appears to be her snacking cart before her, is definitely chosen on purpose, IMO. I think the message is to paint an image of the "types" that would vote for a Brexit. The sign clearly indicates who they are portraying.



    Man, if Obama thinks staying is a good idea, then it is a screaming declaration that it is not good for common people.

    Central Bankers Around The Globle Scramble To Defend Markets: BOE Pledges $345BN; ECB, Others Promise Liquidity

    Officials in London, Frankfurt and Zurich are having to take the baton in the efforts to control the turmoil from Asian central banks, where the Bank of Japan reiterated its readiness earlier on Friday to intervene to hold down the yen, as investors sought refuge from plunging asset prices in Europe. Beyond the initial gyrations, central banks will face questions over how they can support growth and hit inflation targets at a time when policy instruments are already stretched.

    Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda and Japan’s Finance Minister Taro Aso, whose country currently heads the Group of Seven, highlighted that central banks of six major developed nations have currency-swap lines at the ready to provide liquidity. Those lines, among the Japanese, U.S., euro-region, U.K., Swiss and Canadian central banks, were set up during the global financial crisis and made permanent in 2013. G-7 officials will speak by phone some time after midday European time, according to two people familiar with the matter, who declined to be identified because the talks are private.

    The world is going into panic mode as a new day begins following the referendum in Britain that voted for a Brexit. Financial markets are in turmoil and almost every capital in the Western united kleptocracy is scrambling. Currencies are fluctuating and those who bet against the Brexit will be hurting.............badly. Except Moscow. Even Beijing has exposure to the sickness, though little mention of it has been read by me.

    The USD is strong against European currencies today and that is bad for its exports. If it had any beside debt and GMO produce. I look forward to see how the Ruble does in this financial tempest. It may have been the safest currency in Europe and just yesterday those currencies would have bought a whole lot of rubles. But what does Russia have to offer besides much needed petroleum products and and its growing organic produce market that Europe can't buy because of its sanctions. Some serious schadenfreude going on here in the tent.

    Schadenfreude (/ˈʃɑːdənfrɔɪdᵊ/; German: [ˈʃaːdn̩ˌfʁɔɪdə] ( listen)) is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.[1] This word is taken from German and literally means "harm-joy". It is the feeling of joy or pleasure when one sees another fail or suffer misfortune. It is also borrowed by some other languages. An English term of similar meaning (but with no noun equivalent) is "to gloat"; which means to feel, or express, great, often malicious, pleasure, or self-satisfaction, at one's own success, or at another's failure.[2]

    Some people do not learn unless kicked hard in the butt. The Anglo-American Empire and its vassals had this coming.

    This thread may be older than some of our members have been here so it may not ever be what it once was but, putting some content in it will give some feedback.

    It is a thread meant for open conversation about almost anything with an emphasis on being somewhat dynamic and not too dreary. We have threads for the latter.

    A lot of newer members have no idea who I am or my history in the alternative forums. I have been in four to five of them for over six years now. Not so long but, long enough to be one of the "old timers". My style is not static and represents a certain mercurial nature so the style has some variance. I have been known to be somewhat merciless but, that has softened somewhat. Moving into my heart after finding Gnosis has had an effect that does not allow for that. So much. Mercurial is as mercurial does. However, I believe people are safer around me than in the past where one mistake could result in my wit being unleashed in sometimes traumatizing fashion. That does not work for the forum we wish to build. Hobbits are nice people and not known for their intellectual skills. Although there are some exceptions that are well exemplified in Tolkien's works.

    With that said, I will lean towards the side of sweetness. There are differing kinds of bone-heads requiring different approaches. Someone like Blufire, needs a special kind of love, lol. I actually like her and appreciate her for her intelligence and no BS approach. She seems to be a very capable and productive person in the physical world as well. It would seem she spends far more time doing real things than typing on a keyboard and I am sure she is serious competition in an arm wrestle. Enough about her, she is also a major pain in the ass sometimes. Comes with being genuine and cantankerous. Something I can relate to.

    I hope to gently ask questions when people are genuinely confused, to clear the fog perceived in some posts. There are some members with their own threads it would be wise to never say a word and probably avoid. Like cheese, one tastes can vary and each to their own.

    Going to the very first page of this thread will give an idea of the original ambience that was trying to be created here in this cyber-tent on the Edge of Mirkwood, once Greenwood the Great before the coming of darkness to our world. A place to gather for discussion of ideas and speaking from the heart. Poems, musings and thoughts both deep and not so deep to be shared with other tent visitors in a big open cross dialogue with no particular theme or direction other than to know each other better and form better friendships. I will even drop my usual harangue about not knowing what you look like. It may be for the good, lol.

    Here is a link to my very first post on page one.http://jandeane81.com/threads/1771-R...ull=1#post9704

    We will see what happens.

    Vermont senator says he will probably vote for Clinton

    US presidential hopeful Senator Bernie Sanders has expressed willingness to vote for his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the US presidential elections in November.
    He really does have other options but, it is not for me to list them. He knows what they are and has decided to not consider them. Hillary has served us well though because she allows us to see the true colors of a person. Now, some people support her because they are just ignorant and that is a lot of people. Emphasis on the rights of separate groups instead of a broad and fierce avocation of human rights for all has created special interests that would make a human body die if it did not treat all of its organs with equanimity and according to what is takes for optimal health with what resources are available to it.

    Politics at the macro level is dysfunctional and leads ultimately to death of the organism/nation. Sudan was once one country. Not anymore. The breakup of fake countries like Yugoslavia or Czechoslovakia do not apply here. Iraq is another example. Iran/Persia is not. Sykes-Picot took a pencil to the ME and turned into Frankenstein's monster. The pencil was really more of a knife. Much of NE Turkey was once Greater Armenia which extended into what is now Syria. That is why there is still an ethnic enclave of Armenians there. The Kurds are invaders from much of the same area of the Steppes that the Turkmen come from.

    Sylvie's Survivor videos lay much of this out, though maybe not in detail. The Steppe people are allied with the parasites, although it is important to make the distinction of goobermints and the people who ae under them. Goobermints use ethnicity to emotionally capture people's allegiance. Parasitism is a mind virus.
    Hillary is a parasite as is most of the ruling class of USA who can usually trace blloodlines back to the English crown. Which we know is really Germanic or, what is now called German.

    The Survivor videos give us a window into the real Human past and the glory we once were. We were connected to Spirit and, hence, our hearts. We could source Wisdom there and we were working with the Elementals and other forces of Gaia to inform us and be in harmony with Creation. We are currently a fallen people. As David Icke encouraged, "get off your knees".

    Shame on Bernie Sanders and his sycophantry. His words/talk was just that. His walk shows us the real duck. However, if one checks his tax returns that he files with his wife, it is hard to find a more honest politician where politics do not matter. Too bad he is a politician, he is a decent man in many regards.

    US presidential hopeful Senator Bernie Sanders has expressed willingness to vote for his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the US presidential elections in November.

    In a strong expression of support, Sanders made the announcement during an interview with CNN on Friday when asked whether he would vote for Clinton, saying, “In all likelihood, it will be Hillary Clinton.”

    “My job right now as a candidate is to fight to make sure that the Democratic Party not only has the most progressive platform in the history of the Democratic Party, but that that platform is actually implemented by elected officials,” Sanders added.

    Putin crushes CNN smartass Fareed Zakaria on Donald Trump and US elections

    This video is very much worth a view. Watch the judo master put this twister of of Putin's words and smack him with his own distortions in a most gentlemanly way. Putin is a world class statesman and a voice for sanity in our insane world. Putin as "thug" is a media creation and has no basis in reality. If you think he is a thug, you have been snookered by a lying media. We are not speaking of how he runs his country but, how he conducts himself on the world stage. We share a planet with him, not a country. He speaks without a teleprompter at his interviews. Hillary recently spoke the word 'sigh' because it was written out for her to emit one. This is how phony most of our politicians in the USA are. So, please refresh yourself with a genuine human because there are so few of them left in politics.

    The heartbreak from the Brexit referendum continues. Get your tissues ready, from Bloomberg News. World’s 400 Richest People Lose $127 Billion on Brexit.
    Full article below, short and very sweet.

    The world’s 400 richest people lost $127.4 billion Friday as global equity markets reeled from the news that British voters elected to leave the European Union. The billionaires lost 3.2 percent of their total net worth, bringing the combined sum to $3.9 trillion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The biggest decline belonged to Europe’s richest person, Amancio Ortega, who lost more than $6 billion, while nine others dropped more than $1 billion, including Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, the wealthiest person in the U.K.

    I don't think it would be because I happen to have moved the tent a few meters. It is now located where it used to be on the old maps.

    This is my first time looking through this thread. In the beginning you were talking about Forrestal being a reptilian and now 266 pages later it is about Trump/Hillary and Brexit.

    So basically Rhosgobel Tent is a thread about random topics. Bound to be a lot of interesting things in here.
