The Euphemisms

I am very pleased - not 'proud;' proud isn't the right word for it - that I was a private student of Paul Ritter when he was alive.

You may not know who Paul Ritter was, but let me give it some context - the former Prime Minister of Australia, the staggering genius Paul Keating, as well as his nemesis Piers Akerman the journalist, would immediately know who you are talking about when you say 'Paul Ritter.'

Brilliant, brilliant, psychologist

Paul Ritter was a trained Psychoanalyst of the 'European School' (which is a Federation now or 'Institute' form or organization which covers the field of trained people with roots back to Jung and Freud and Rank and Adler). This does not appear in his biog in Wikipedia but it is the case all the same. What does appear is the narrative that Paul Ritter was 'devoted' to the infamous Wilhelm Reich and that Reich appeared to suggest Ritter had taken the ideas of Reich down a different path. Well, I mean what's new about that kind of dialectic between psychoanalysts?! LOL

I don't think he was devoted to Wilhelm Reich or his ideas particularly. Ritter possessed an abundance of knowledge about many people's ideas and he himself was much more well-known as an architect and engineer and town planner than as a psychoanalyst in any case.

But he was a psychoanalyst and a very good one.

There are not too many people who know that it is Paul Ritter's name that was on one of the Twin Tower Buildings' foundation stones...

Now there is another Paul Ritter, who is an actor who played a small role in the Bond flick Quantum of Solace. I don't know that guy... I hardly recall having seen him in the movie. I have seen Lee Pace though, who might play the next Bond...

Anyway. 

So, the point here is that there are many people, ideas, even things, that are quite obscure to the public, and have never been pushed forward into the public eye.

What you will read about Wilhelm Reich, a major figure of psychoanalysis along with the more well-know luminaries of the field, is that some of his ideas were 'crackpot.' Or in fact, that he was a crackpot, or that towards the end of his life he became a crackpot.

It ought not to make any difference to you what the truth of it all was or may have been, because this is not a two-way discussion we are having here - I am writing this Blog, and there is virtually never any open public responses to it. And so, I am just preaching away, to no one in particular, in my own corner of the Universe, unknown, like Ritter, unseen, but at least, not attempting very often to 'make it rain' via some 'cloudbuster' contraption that I am aiming up at the sky.

Peter Reich, Wilhelm Reich's son, was interviewed once and he casually mentioned that when he saw the movie 'Star Wars' at the part where they introduced Obiwan, he felt ripped off because that was his father they appeared to be depicting.

You have to watch out for aristocrats - when they use words like 'Bohemian' they don't mean people who have to live out in the streets and are homeless.

"Setting The Agenda"

Nobody who reads a lot of newspapers and scans the global media can have failed to observe how much 'follow the rabbit' is going on at the moment.

It used to be that the media prided itself like the Devil himself, in 'setting the agenda.'

Now, at least to my eye, the agenda has become like the rickety old English club scene with the same items on the menu day in and day out.

'The Day the Music Died.' Don McLean.

Design is about real knowledge,
of shapes and corners and aspect ratio
and things like that

Well this is more or less the day the media died.

What we need to signify it in the common mind as having actually happened for real, is some kind of 'event' or incident - almost an act of god, if you will.

So what are 'the big stories' right now? Mosul - the defeat of ISIS there, maybe. Trump, well, Trump anything. Protests against Trump, Washington correspondents' function, Hollywood using the Oscars against Trump. Trump Trump Trump.

That's not 'agenda.'

Agenda is tax cuts and the stock market going through the roof.

Agenda is scalability.

Agenda is how to leverage the current amazing turnaround in 'optimism' as far as equities are concerned, and 'get in' maybe by some back-door as the Dow runs away from everyone accept the Fed, basically, which was 'holding paper' when everyone else claimed it had a 'poor Balance Sheet.' 

The Fed doesn't have a 'Balance Sheet.' (Read that with a scoffing voice). It has power and control. It doesn't need a 'Balance Sheet.'

The Fed is right now selling dollars and cleaning up. Saudi Aramco is pretending it is going to sell equity in itself... What a laugh. Saudi Arabia is so broke going forward it doesn't matter. 75% illiteracy and 70% single commodity-led GDP. Broke. Dead. Finito la musica. Gone, baby.

All of these people who have played the 'I have more cash than you and so I can fly to the Moon' lunacy for decades are stuck with the fact that there simply is no such thing as 'diversifying an economy away from oil,' now that oil has run its race forever and nobody cared a lot earlier. It's all too late now.

And superb confection is about how to create function
out of form and substance

Today's technology is utterly deflationary and so what we are looking at here, is a massive swathe of losses about to be realized absolutely everywhere - except in US companies of course, for no absolutely good reason, and I do mean AMERICAN companies, not just US listings.

So how can you short London properties...

There's nothing quite like a Bear Market to create this snowballing effect of panic and loss and fire sales. The US Dollar will probably drop at least enough to savage the Euro economy into severe social panic and no doubt violence. The Chinese will squeal at this but to no avail. Serves them right.

Interest rates will go up. 

The GBP is a fantasy-fiction currency and so it will likely go up as the UK government monkeys around basically practicing self-interested fraud with no one to stop it now that it has thought about stepping out of European supervision of whatever it does. They haven't realized the silver lining to their 'cloud' of having to leave what they all thought was a bigger gravy train of fraud against taxpayers, namely the Euro-zone and the Euro (currency).

You watch as the British politicians suddenly wake up to the benefits of cheating on their own National Currency Balance Sheet.

The Euro is utterly doomed and so is the Euro-zone but whether any of the Zombies there will do anything about it I seriously doubt.

Russia? They must be laughing all the way to the gold vaults.

As you know I don't give out exact 'recommendations' here because I'm assuming not a lot of you have any money to go take positions in anything. But that is all right too. Being forewarned is being fore-armed, and, as you all know, from having read Baldassare Castiglione and his Art of the Courtier or whatever it's called: 'the principal profession of the courtesan is the profession of arms...'

And thus at least, you are all now armed, and not unable to 'make war' as it were. Armed with knowledge. And that is all you need and all it takes. And a bit of patience like the skilled fisherman.

James Dumb, not James Bond

I am hoping, this will be the very last 'spy-tale' post for a while. Things are going very well in spook-land, and as you know, these kinds of things thrive on quietness and 'nothing going on.'

The fact is, it would be slightly remiss of me to leave you all without some exactitude in understanding what has been going on. Personally, if I were you, I wouldn't worry all that much about people looking into your communications - the thing cuts both ways, and apparently, 'they' haven't even worked that out yet... There is no indication in the bought-for media that anyone has.

Our friend Lee, giving out 'hate Trump' pamphlets

Anyway, back to the main matter here: I would like you to recall the kidnapping by Hezbollah in 1984, of Lieutenant Colonel William Francis Buckley. He was subsequently held, tortured for 15 months and died.

Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for his death.

More recently, in 2011, an individual, one 'Manssor Arbabsiar' was apprehended in the middle of what appeared to Intelligence as a plot to assassinate the then Saudi Ambassador to the United States, Adel al-Jubeir in New York - who is now Saudi Foreign Minister under King Salman. Arbabsiar had engaged some members of the Mexican Los Zetas drug cartel to kill al-Jubeir.

Hezbollah funds itself through its control of Bekaa Valley heroin. And drug cartels in Mexico have had relationships with Middle Eastern and Eastern European drugs controllers in the past. To say that 'security' is a problem in Mexico is putting things mildly, and when you keep in view little incidents such as the temporary 'theft' of Iridium-192 in 2015, and the ease with which false ID papers can be procured in Mexico - you have a matter that has to be treated seriously by security officials and strategists.

Our friend Lee in Russia

I don't really need to make a lot of gratuitous remarks about judges whose motivations are less than entirely obvious, or whether they should be made to watch videos of the torture of Buckley and others - but I will probably end by echoing what Roger Stone recently said about ex-CIA chief Brennan, namely that he was a Communist from way back. It sounds like a REALLY STUPID thing to say in the modern era, post-the Cold War and post-the Soviet Union, but what he means is not 'Soviet' Communist, but academic Marxist-Leninist social and political organization theory 'Communist' and who had some formal affiliation with organized groups of this ilk. Some people call them 'Neo-Marxists.'

There is a saying 'someone convinced against his will remains unconvinced still.' And I am simply not interested any longer in trying to 'convince' anyone of anything.

I just stated the fact that Willam Buckley was really horribly tortured. What you make of it is up to you. And, hopefully this will be the last of these kinds of posts for a while. 

And, finally our friend Lee, at a 'gathering momentum' never Trump rally

Every Drop Of Faith

Yesterday I encountered a very strange thing. A friend of mine, who runs a tiny independent Spanish radio broadcaster, mentioned the name of someone he met at one of the Puerto Banus nightspots - someone whose surname was 'Khashoggi...'

And so I said, no, seriously? 

But then my friend started to describe the person, and I thought, well, hell, that isn't the Khashoggi.

Taken a while back, when Paris
was being young and silly

Turns out this individual is one of the sons of Adnan - one of the most successful salespeople in the world of all time. Possibly it will be many more years before the CIA will de-classify files related to what Adnan Khashoggi did for them over the years. Suffice to mention for the moment though, that Richard Perle shot off to see Khashoggi in Switzerland the minute 9/11 happened; well, a very short short time afterwards, anyway. 

As you will know too, I'm sure, Adnan Khashoggi is(was) Dodi Fayed's uncle.

Oh dear, so many wheels within wheels.

So what is young Khashoggi doing? Well he's arranging these super parties for extremely wealthy people all over the world - he runs a company called ELEQT, whose business is events planning and high level introductions and access. Sort of a 'pre-lobbying' stage, almost gate-keeping, thing.

Same guy, of course

Anyway here's my message to you - you clever clever people who come here and read:

Of course, you can stick your head in the lion's mouth... If you want to. I wouldn't advise it though.

How much trouble is going to end up resulting from all of this? 

Would you say? Knowing, that MI6 fucks up virtually everything it gets its dirty little hands into.

SMH.

Slipping Back Into The Night

You know, if the detective didn't walk down a long dark alley, it wouldn't be that kind of a story, would it. (Why don't you go to the bottom of this piece and play the music video... It'll help). 

It is however exactly that kind of story.

Shadowy figure, dark alleyway, night-time

You must have noticed how suddenly now everyone in the media is an expert on Russia, spying, 'Deep State,' even human psychology!

Amazing, isn't it.

Anyway it's time to place all these toys back into their box now for a little while. In my view anything you see or hear in the wider media about whatever went on, or is going on, so-called behind the scenes, is uninformed right from the get-go. And that includes, I'm afraid, Alex Jones to some extent as of the moment. 

You don't need to be hearing from people after the event - you want to hear about stuff before it happens. Which is not to say AJ doesn't have a fair record of getting some things right ahead of the curve. But he is committed to having to produce a show every day, more or less. Russian spies, Russian spies. Palace intrigue. Bohemian Grove, crazy rich people.

Don't get me wrong, he's a good journalist no matter what you think of his style. He lets all the balloons float but then he also checks facts too.

But hell why is the media the story? We all know the reason there - the lights go on, the cameras have their little pilot lights go blip-blip and the guy up there in front can't help his ego get in the way of it all. God knows, I probably would be the worst.

Why do we have to have earth-shaking things to talk about all the time in any case? You'll become hyperactive and over-anxious if that were the position all the time.

Time to take a deep breath. 

'Did you get it?'
Or, in proper English: 'Did yoh ge i'?'

You know if you read very very carefully between the lines from here on in, you'll 'get it...'

Spies? Russians? Don't know; wouldn't know anything about that kind of thing. Leaks? Wouldn't know anything about that. Way too sophisticated for me. That's what we have the FBI for, to go after the leakers. To find suspects and then fuck them up good.

Alleged leakers anyway, because we have this 'innocent until proven guilty' thing here. It's part of our values, of our system. 

Now don't bring 'morality' into it, will you?!

Just watch the fireworks and enjoy the ride. 

But you do know, don't you - I have never cried wolf, not even the one single time.

You're gonna watch the 'leaker' burn and fry. Sorry, alleged leaker.

Poor bastard, never leaked anything at all.  (For female, it's also 'bastard').

You got that, didn't you? Like any investment, there are FOUR ways to hold a position: the right to buy, and the right to sell, the obligation to buy, and the obligation to sell. Four, ways.

Flynn was one side of an intercepted conversation. And he was identified by the media.

Got it now?
