Dear Christopher Black, After discovering yourself to be such a learned man, I wondered who you might be after reading your article comparing Nato’s recent activity to Operation Barbarossa, and how you developed your disposition towards western governments. After your experience in Rwanda, I now understand and empathize. However, in every conflict, there are always two sides, and the stories that are told and remembered are left to the victor/victim to write or re-write as favors the author. World hegemony is an interesting game played on a stage far beyond myself, yet my best tools are information and an educated vote. Woefully, there are few who can wield either without some bias. We disagree on the need for balance in world hegemony, and while you aspire that America and western governments may not be without blame, there are other leaders of non-state and state powers who require a balance on this world stage, albeit asymmetric in force and in rules of engagement. In a perfect world we could have more action than discourse to solve poverty, World Hunger, or develop Free Energy. Sadly there are too few people like Mother Theresa or Nikola Tesla, and greed and capitalism rule the majority. You are a thoughtful, brave, and courageous man and my comments are left to achieve balance, rather than the rhetoric of “..a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing”.

It’s not just my experience in African and what the west did there but also in Europe and elsewhere with my other work eg counsel to President Milosevic. There are in my experience two sides to a story as you say one true and one false and the western media puts out always a false image of reality which I had to learn the hard way. I am an admirer of Nicola Tesla but certainly not Mother Teresa who was, for me, a hypocrite of the first order, pretending to help the poor but never ever wanting to change the society that produced that poverty. But I appreciate your comments.

Kind of an oxymoron re: your “the need for balance in world hegemony” , that is if I understood you correctly…
it’s either hégémonie (eg “hégémonie mondiale”) or balance of/ between 2 or more world powers…
Apologize if I misunderstood you 😩

Hey Christopher,
My name is Patrick. I am not sure you remember me, I am actually most sure that you do not. We met at Mango Tree in Arusha during the Augustin Ndindiliyimana case. I had attended the proceedings earlier and we spoke about how the defense was totally unprepared, and how the whole process felt like a farce. That was 2013, and I just went back to pull some court documents from the case. I just wanted to congratulate you on the acquittal. Hope life has been good for you since.
Cheers,
Patrick

Hello, I attended both Milosevic meetings you spoke at in London in the early 2000s. At the first you convinced me of his innocence and after the second meeting (actually in a restaurant – we all went for a meal) you introduced me to the idea that the Rwanda narrative was not what it seemed. You are a courageous and principled man and I salute you. I visited Serbia last month and laid flowers on President Milosevic’s grave on behalf of his supporters in Britain. Best wishes from London, CK (aka Christopher James).

you can send me a message on faecbook or my email is bar@idirect.com. Re Assange, I do not think so because the British would have to expel the Ecuadoren embassy staff first and seize the building. The US cannot do that in the UK. And I doubt the UK would ever do such a thing-they can do bad things but the regard the rules of diplomacy as sacred almost. The Americans are alone on this and made themselves look like fools. But frankly I am not a fan of Assange and have my doubts about who he really works for.

Mr. Black,
Let us extend an offer to you and/or your readers to participate in an interview by answering the (4) questions posed to Alfred recently in post: “An Interview Of Alfred Gluecksmann” at The Oneness of Humanity. Future posts will carry the same title: “An Interview Of (Your name here)”.
***
Question 1…) What was your primary motivation for entering the world of blogging on the worldwide web – on the internet?
***
Question 2…) How would you describe yourself with regard to spirituality? What were some of the most memorable transforming points across the years (books, personal contacts, mystical experiences, etc.) in the developing of your current spiritual perspective?
***
Question 3…) What is your greatest wish for readers as a consequence after reading/considering your writings?
***
Question 4…and final) Can you offer any advice to people having a difficult time dealing with government and media lies, especially as it pertains to so many average citizens who hold erroneous perceptions on important events and situations around the Earth?
***
If you (or anyone who passes this way – this proposal is open to all) would like to share your (their) thoughts take as many words and as much time as necessary to accurately convey your responses, then – when completely satisfied – email them (please refrain from email formatting as it makes it more difficult to copy/paste/edit into a WordPress post) to jerryalatalo (at) hotmail.com., whereupon I will publish each individual’s response as a stand-alone post – with the ultimate goal of inclusion/compiling in a book.
The potential book’s title has yet to become decided upon. There are no rules besides the obvious (no profanity, etc.), no word-count limits (1,000/10,000 words might suffice as a suggested lower/upper limit) or time deadlines (hoping for pre-Christmas 2017 self-publish date – Kindle, Smashwords (eBook), Amazon (softcover) … ), but only honest observations.
Thank you and best regards,
Jerry Alatalo

Hello Christopher,
I found your article/analysis “Trump: Bring Me the Head of Luis Obrador” spot on.
Except for the fact that you got Mexico’s President’s name wrong, (it would be nice if you could edit that); his name is Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, better known as AMLO, you dissect pretty accurately Mexico’s weakened position in front of the world’s biggest bully.
Keep up the good work – people ARE reading you. Mainstream media is so corrupt, I appreciate hearing a counter narrative and have shared your article.

I’m sorry to see that Christopher Black (like so very many progressive voices) is missing in action on the covid 19 pandemic hoax. (Why is that hoax/terrorist operation continuing? People, addicted to corporate media and treating tv reporters like priests who tell no lies, are obeying the fascist authorities. That has emobldened those authorities and now we are getting the global biosecurity police State.) I would have just emailed you Christopher, to ask you what your thoughts are, but I see no contact form (such I use for my WordPress blog). I read through most of these comments and then simply entered “covid” into your search field and got zero returns. That’s hard to believe. But I’m seeing that all the time now. I’m seeing people get ‘taken’. A lot of us are witnessing that phenomenon that Christendom – fake, mainstream Christianity – calls the rapture.

I have referred to it here in this poem:
While robins woke to fading stars,
That drew fat worms to morning doom,
And tired hands sought coffee jars,
Still half in dream and nightly tomb,
While prostitutes and presidents,
Walked secret streets, or secret rooms,
And madmen claimed it all made sense,
But nightly danced in drunken fear,
While others stared in innocence,
But couldn’t help a sudden tear,
Rising from their aching hearts,
For those they lost they once held dear,
A message came from foreign parts,
Of something strange passed through the air;
As if a fusillade of poisoned darts,
That pierced the old and young, the sad and fair,
In silence, swift, and thus, unseen,
As Satan climbing Heaven’s stair,
His strength renewed and body lean,
To reclaim his old authority,
And sit the chair where God had been,
Sans remorse, regret, sans pity,
First one succumbed and then the many,
From east to west, in town, in city,
The working poor lost every penny,
And sat alone, apart, in wonder,
For them escape there was not any,
As the world around them broke asunder,
For existence cares not what your name,
Or what day they put you under,
And while many played the ancient game,
Of searching entrails for some secret reason,
A bleating scapegoat they could blame,
Others knew we’d had our time, our run, our season,
Had squandered all, destroyed the world,
Against Life itself had plotted treason,
So down the great abyss were hurled.
You have to explain why it is a hoax and by who and you cannot. It is real and deadly. How can you explain the Chinese, North Koreans, Iranians, Cubans, venezuelans, Vietnamese governments all acting to do their best to suppress it if it some sort of hoax,-you think those goverenments are stupid? It seems to me people who share your views are enganing in wishful thinking, whistling in the dark, for what i see isnot a plan but proof they have no idea how to react to this in the west -so chaos-there is no plan. This is a fantasy.

That is so utterly bizarre and perverse a response, I hardly know how to respond. I’ve done 108 blog posts on covid alone, repeatedly answering all the questions that you say I’ve not answered. Your arrogance and perversity is astounding. You can’t do over a 100 blog posts on any subject and not know something about it. I’ve been researching (open source) this pandemic hoax since it was improperly called on March 11, 2020. (WHO changed the definition of pandemic in 2009 in order to protect vaccine markets.) It sounds like all of your research has been done sitting in front of big pharma-funded tv. Either that or else you ‘do’ know what’s going on and have simply chosen to side with those playing God in this war between those playing God and the true God. It’s a free universe. But it’s not one in which we are free from the consequences of our actions.
