was it a passel of 25s, then, that the dastardly lizard-semi-people Hebrew Freemasons of the Illuminati used to control-demolish Building 7 after remote-control-flying 12th-dimensional steel-hulled paper airplanes into the Twin Towers for the greater glory of Anglo-Zionist hegemony uber alles alpha unto omega, amen, amen?

The Manson killings were a false-flag operation. Jay Sebring was preparing to blow the whistle on the Hebroid follicles he fondled, so the Conspiracists (see above) massacred him and the rest, and pinned the crime on "hippies." E. Howard Hunt, Donald Rumsfeld, and Jackie Mason were among those Involved.

Anne Boleyn is a reason for Protestantism. Henry got frustrated with, when he was tired of wives, having to beg annulments from the pope, or lop off the wives' heads, so he invented a new religion, and in that way he could have divorces, like a normal Trump.

Messalina was the original sex machine. She once challenged the most famous courtesan of Rome to a fucking contest, in which Messalina prevailed, after taking 25 men in 24 hours, at which point lassata viris, nondum satiata, recessit (tired, but not satisfied, she retired).

Robert Boyle was also, I believe, an Egyptian plague.

Lest we forget: the total bummer-downer tune "In The Year 2525," recorded in a cow pasture in Odessa, Texas, by Zager and Evans, who disbanded and retired shortly thereafter, because they were Sorry.

Morning, folks.

I should be posting the "Outside impressions" as I find them. They're often insightful. The other day, I ran across a an article that was running in several newspapers in China. It was written to help the people understand "election season" in the US. "Don't be alarmed," it said. "China bashing is an old tradition among Presidential candidates in the United States."

Anyway, you may have seen the one below from the Guardian, explaining the new political insurgency going on to the English:

We’re in an era when nobody likes anything and the two people most vocal about not liking things are Trump and Sanders. From two different directions, they’ve attracted people who like the way they see the world.”

They divide along a line seldom acknowledged in US discourse: class. Sanders draws strong support from graduates and students, whereas most of Trump’s followers are on low incomes and did not go to university. One hammers Wall Street, the other demonises immigrants, but both are perceived as authentic and unspun, right down to their oddball hair. They are two sides of the same coin.

Neil Levesque, executive director of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College, said: “I talk to many people whose first choice is Trump and second choice is Sanders, even though they’re diametrically opposed. People feel Trump is saying what they think, and if you asked supporters of Sanders, one word they would use is ‘authenticity’. A lot of this is the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street. Those were the seeds and now the grass is growing.”

The news that a movement few had heard of is threatening an obscure town in Syria was never going to set the world on fire. But it is important for three reasons: first, Isis is now almost sealed off within its self-declared caliphate; second, the Syrian Kurds, using their surrogate, the SDF, have crossed west of the Euphrates despite Turkey’s threats never to let this happen without a military response; third, and most important, the attack of the SDF was supported by both US and Russian air strikes, though not at the same time. “The Russians are now carrying out most of the air strikes there,” said a Syrian Kurdish representative. In other words, the US and Russia in this part of Syria are acting as if they had a de facto military alliance.

The big loser here could be Turkey, which seemed to be in such a strong position to extend its influence across the Middle East in 2011. Its image as an economically prospering, democratic yet Islamic, state was attractive to many Arab protesters looking to overthrow and replace dictatorial rule. But the Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, soon made clear that he was supporting a Sunni Arab sectarian takeover that was anti-Shia, anti-Kurd and anti-secular and was bound to be resisted. Having first backed the Muslim Brotherhood, Turkey then tolerated or helped Isis, al-Nusra and extreme jihadi groups.

It was a calamitous miscalculation for Syria and for Turkey. For all President Erdogan’s neo-Ottoman dreams of making Turkey a great power in the Middle East again, he has achieved the opposite. How he responds to this failure should become clear in the coming months as the US and Russia try, in different ways, and in support of a rather different list of allies, to close the border between northern Syria and Turkey.

This time may be different
