if you cannot trust them all - you cannot trust nobody

probably won’t be taking any more future orders in any Serbian restaurant (inclusive of gyros, pljeskavicas, cevapcici, etc) because if you cannot trust all of them - you cannot trust nobody. and the straw that broke the camel’s back was my today’s - 5/28/23 - order of medium size gyro sandwich at the place nearby kalenic fresh food market in belgrade … the guy said you should wait half an hour but then promptly went with: okay we can go with chicken, which was served cold by the way, the whole enchilada was cold, the damage costing 670 dinars including fries and toppings was a big shame and my tummy felt bad until I had a horrifying scene later on and out of blue, having a shit and leaving it all over the place entirely unable to control the huge explosion so I believe there was something wrong with that gyros. there were no secondary discharge sessions; I now feel some tummy tension and same around the kidney area plus some heart pressure and the rough feeling in throat probably from acidic reaction. in 2015, when my French business partner led me into a Parisian joint run by the mujaheddin, on entrance I saluted Shalom! ... thinking that my French friend was Jewish led me to believe that he picked out a Jewish joint (it turned out the fellow was Catholic) and I only realized that I was in the mujaheddin place (the guys with long beards) much later … however, during the entire time they were extremely polite, and I did not have such a revolt in my stomach after shouting Shalom! which could have been taken as a provocation … but hey, that was France. here in Serbia some people want a piece of you attacking on every step of my way and nobody knows why – at least I don’t – assuming only because someone said or had ordered so – WHAT HAS BEEN MY CRIME SO SOME SERBS WANT A PIECE OF ME, I WOULD LIKE TO BE ADVISED?! - Im pretty sure these guys have no clue why they are attacking me tho I believe I have been serving as a good public decoy for the government when the things are going south like now to deflate powerful / delicate political or economic matters of national importance (I have not been publicly pro American either so they can have a reason for sponsoring attacks) … for me, any of these unknown people that were coming at me (going for my health in the ways I won’t be describing herewith to minimize copycatting, ways much different from the ways of hostiles acting as funky ass chickens playing stupid games all the time, doing the same obnoxious things which are benign if you got used to them) for all I know, could be my meal (order) servers / food preparers in any Serbian (regional) restaurant or joint so even tho I have been on guard in the past, occasionally when I had let my guard down and ordered stuff, the things happened, I was then reaching in the nest of unknown haters, and that was no coincidence … everything being anointed … even though I was having in mind if you don't care for yourself who will care for you … meanwhile, those who run a tab scanned my cautionary behavior and are using it against me probably saying abhorrent things to the local pool of haters which it takes for granted, the local powers that be counting on not so super-duper bright minds in these necks of the woods! instead, they come in handy, very gung-ho hostile on orders given … poor me, and I am not kidding … a friend that owns a bookstore specializing in antique books somewhere in Europe once told me, Im not letting everybody in, just imagine what would happen to an old precious book if I'd let everybody hold and breeze through it? you'd have to throw it away following several cruder inspections. then imagine what has been happening to me, how 'unsalable' I have become if only every 50th Serb has been trying to harm me and take a piece of me, on them and their children as one would say, in these 21 years of my stay here. they have shit into my life to the point that Im shitting myself without control … in serbia, you'd rust the nerves of steel - not to mention that doctor who checked my anus in zemun hospital a few years ago did it violently, to the point that I felt violated and from that point on I had a problem with my sphincter that now won’t hold gyros excreta … I relate everything to the hostility that Im experiencing in Serbia and rightfully so … I overheard his father, also a doctor, saying to my friend who was a private patient of his father that “all scum comes from Bosnia” … perhaps Im somewhat overly sensitive but having in mind everything – the consequences – I now wonder was that a proper procedure to hurt (that) much, or had it something to do with either the public perception of me in Serbia or eventually my alleged Bosnian heritage on alleged premises if judged by the surname … which is false … everything is mismanaged and misconstrued down here ...

i know who y'all are.

it does not matter if you have all the necessary paperwork issued by experts or if the works you own are authentic beyond reasonable doubt, inclusive of verifiable provenance, for in sooth there are several rogue art dealers that rule over the market and if you are not in their good graces and stepped into their territory, they will spread out backstabbing rumors that the works you own are not palatable or even worse off - fakes or stolen, and will not let you exercise the full potential of value over your holdings. once they ‘burn’ your possessions, these artworks will not be viable market-wise locally in serbia as well as the region as these unfair traders are networking across europe with their peers based on the wave of power they have been generating, respectively. it happened numerous times to me. the only way to keep these malign individuals at bay would have been to make them scared somehow, extremely scared ... but often times they are backed by the government and powers that be creeping in as weekend bbq friends or clients. it is not that this market is not infected with fakes of all kinds, but it is also very hard to find honest to goodness half decent discerning experienced individuals to talk about everything and get some protection and support as the evil has been expanding itself proportionally symmetrical to the increase in the size of their wallets.
