I often find your work to be amusing Banzai7, and always thought provoking. But this morning I'll add chilling to the list, because this image brings memories of the bad old days right back to the fore...
It needs to be spread far and wide, so maybe folks will think a bit and get a grip.
My regards
Yes, I have vivid memories of the elation that followed the "fall of the Berlin Wall."
So much progress was made thereafter and the fucktard Vichy DCs, with the retarded assistance of their idiotic followers in Europe and Central Europe, are deadset on dimantling all of it.
We are regressing. I say we. What of the they, the they Goldman sucks promoted as BRICs.
They are progressing by leaps and bounds and good for them.
Bro Back indeed.
Of course there are people who made a nice living off of the bad old days and they and their ilk are very much behind this Cold War replay scenario.
"Sanctioneer," I prefer "sanctionista".
okay, WildBill, that's some good stuff: the sorta thing for which your fans click on the trademark WB consonant/nouning -- by now familiarly framed in bold and blue for all who know and love yer stuff. cheers, WB.
but i don't like to go on like this...janus' most sincerest complements come by reciprocity -- you be good to me = i be good to you. and so i thank you. furthermore, i think i'll write an open letter to vladamir putin...now that's reciprocity!
open letter to vladamir putin, from janus publicus:
dear president putin,
i want to begin by quoting your most famous ex-patriot american, and with the quote in some way convey my sincerest gratitude for your hospitality therewith, "there are many who'd like to see me sad; i expect that they will continue to be disappointed..." good ole Snowden's almost poetic in his cross-atlantic taunts -- maybe he's been reading his Checkov afterall. time will tell (will it not?).
janus has been observing you carefully for quite some time, mr. president. you certainly are a compelling case for the observant sort, like janus. whether you are representative of the emergent slavic ethos or whether the reverse is the case, again, only time will tell. for the time being, i keep my ears and eyes open.
mr. president, you unnerve a goodly share of the aggressively american element, and that is because you've identified our intrinsic flaws. big doesn't easily bend; i get it, too.
but i wonder about you, mr. president. i wonder to what extent the dimensions of your designs impugn the boundaries of fair-play. it concerns me that your ambitions may imperil some certain things i adore. and, in all meekness...janus doens't intend to come-off the menace...it's only that, i suppose, any man of subtle and expansive intellect should recognize the tendency to indulge outsized ambition, and must also consider where that ultimately ends; precisely where you're manipulating the exposure of amorican weakness.
it is one thing to reflect fear back upon its promulgators (an art janus has mastered), it is quite another to permit the will to be governed by the lust for revenge...such is the worst of all vices. be ye therefore wise, mr. president. in spite of it's many and abundant flaws, the human race is the very treasure of planet earth...sometimes that fact is obscured in the shuffle of our 24-hour news cycle.
as to present affairs, i can in you find very little fault. it is only my suspicion of what you 'may' endeavor that troubles me. and, mr. president, you should know that out-right and explicit provocation of these peoples is highly improvident (we are elementally war-like). amorica may be bumbling through a bleak miasma, but that only belies a fearsomeness beneath the haze.
essentially, mr. president, what i'm requesting is that you stand with janus, as a spectator & non-agressor, and with me witness the natural and inevitable implosion of this morass...no shots ever need be fired; no more competing world-orders needs be established and then crushed...it will of its own accord collapse, and i predict that something far more cooperative will from within it emerge. the very best strategy is to conduct a siege against duplicity...you simply cannot fail.
always remember the power of radical apposition -- when your enemy is frantic, remain perfectly calm. when they call for war, you demand peace. wherever they ease pressure, you apply it aggressively. when they counterfeit lies, you coin truth. when they thrust themselves upon, you use their momentum against them...it's all in the Bible. good read, The Holy Bible.
anyway, mr. president, i wish you godsspeed and much success...i'm disgusted with these varmints, too...i grow increasingly nauseous at their every mention. but, mr. president, beware what awaits on the other side of a mortally wounded amorica -- it is, as i said, a fearsome thing. but, in the end, i very much favor it over the current fiasco...i think you likewise long for a legitimate challenge. perhaps you shall have it.
careful what you wish for...

tally-ho,
janus publicus
dear janus: As the French say, Comme ci, comme ça, Bush is Obama, and Obama is Bush, but Napolean found Moscow a bit chilly. Some of you American intellectuals have made a pasttime of forgetting history, since you have so little of it, and most of this history it is to your advantage to forget. So I won't bore you to read Stephen Ambrose', Rise to Globalism. I will confess to you here, that I offered your President Bush a Machievellian compromise, afte he placed missiles aimed at my capital, in the new Nato countries, and then invaded Iraq and cancelled our oil contracts. I said, Mr Bush I have armed a serious object of your hegemony in the ME, which should put an obstacle to making war on the Persians more than a bit difficult, however if I gave them the weapons, I can give you the ECM keys to those weapons, the cheat codes as you American gamers call it. All this for a price, such is what we call security. The Bush people had far too much on their plate, or they are as you say real pikers. Now that I have seen that the real American character is not Kennedy but PT Barnum, the offer no longer stands. You would conquer the entire subcontinent for what? To build a new WalMart next to every Mosque? Perhaps in a hundred years we will talk again, our leaders, when you have gained some maturity as a nation. I notice you keep electing younger and younger leaders, does that mean you fear your youth is slipping away. Obama seems old to me, a golfer, a step and fetch it for the Wall Street bankers, a baptist revival leader for the American progressive movement. Certainly you want someone better? Meanwhile I will continue to deal with all countries, and your own as equals in those things, according to our ability, and our needs.
Nice
Thoughtful letter to Putin from janus publicus; as in fully thought ---out.
Obambarians at the gate again? Tell 'em I'm at the ballet.
Why do I feel the Crusades have started up again...?

we can see very clearly the action now is in anticipation of the fact tthat ukraine freezing its balls off this winter. so they are now escalating the violence in one last 2 month long push before october/november when the cold comes.
after that, ukraine will begin desperately fucking with europe's supplies of gas in transit. and then the question is whether or not europe will give ukraine money to buy their own gas, or money to kill their own people in WEST ukraine.
OR wether putin gets his way and has europe totally fucked off so bad, they call a non-emergency emergency negotiation----and actually come to a deal and remove the sanctions. if that happens, or is at risk of happening, expect sabotage of ukrainian gas pipelines by america (framed as rebels blowing up the pipelines) . possible as always expect a false flag or two.
i expect within the next 3 months, lavrov will make a case to the eu that america covered up the 'ukrainian' plane shoot down of the mh17. as a way to embarass the americans in front of the eu precisely at the time where they are trying to get the EU to cut a deal .
all the while this happens-----the cool fall in the desserts of northern iraq should result in total fucking massacres occuring with mass genocide by whoever the fuck saudi-aberiqatar happens to be giving weapons to.
it's been awfully quiet in iran. and chinese meanwhile keep on building the SHIT out of africa. expect south africa to eventually begin going loco on the united states. and nigerian sunni islams to start a massive civil war where chrisitans muslims and natives begin killing the shit out of each other.
it should be an interesting winter....
Don't need to grab a newspaper left on a Russian tank to know which way the wind blows. At check point charlie
