16. NASRUDDIN AND THE GOAT

Nasruddin and his neighbor were quarreling.

“You stink worse than a goat!” his neighbor said, so Nasruddin took him to court for slander.

The judge said, “Bring in a goat for comparison.”

They brought in a goat, and when the judge leaned down to sniff the goat, he fainted. That’s how bad the goat smelled.

They revived the judge with smelling salts, and then the judge said, “Now bring in Nasruddin.”

They brought in Nasruddin, and both the judge and the goat fainted. That’s how bad Nasruddin smelled.

They had to throw both Nasruddin and the goat out of court.

This quote is not meant to be a 2024 forecast — but history does rhyme.

If you just put the path of the Great American Eclipse of 2024 and the path of the Great American Eclipse of 2017 on a map, they combine to form a giant paleo-Hebrew “Tav” over America…
The heart of the paleo-Hebrew “Tav” forms a giant “X” that falls directly over the New Madrid fault zone.
One of my readers pointed out to me that we have seen a giant “X” like this before. The path of a solar eclipse that occurred on June 16th, 1806 combined with the path of a solar eclipse that occurred on September 17th, 1811 to also form a giant “X” over the New Madrid fault zone.

I have quoted from the excerpt

This quote is from an excerpt from Colonel Jacques Baud’s latest book, The Russian Art of War: How the West Led Ukraine to Defeat. This is a detailed study of the two-year old conflict in which the West has brutally used the Ukrainians to pursue an old pipe dream: the conquest of Russia. The book is being translated into English which I hope I can find for free soon after it has been published.

The reason the Russians are better than the West in Ukraine is that they see the conflict as a process; whereas we see it as a series of separate actions. The Russians see events as a film. We see them as photographs. They see the forest, while we focus on the trees. That is why we place the start of the conflict on February 24, 2022, or the start of the Palestinian conflict on October 7, 2023. We ignore the contexts that bother us and wage conflicts we do not understand. That is why we lose our wars… the belief that we are superior makes us vulnerable… From an article about the book
