      ⏰ Buying Time

      The major theme of this report is that the US is supposedly delaying its Iran strikes until it can send more air defense systems to the region. But, from what I have seen, they have already delivered pretty much all they’ve got. Short of denuding Guam of its two THAAD batteries, the cupboard is bare.

      Most of the US/NATO Patriot batteries have been burned in Ukraine, and besides, the Patriot has proven to be woefully ineffective in terms of ballistic missile defense.

      If they delay much longer, it’s not because they are trying to deliver more AD, it’s because they’re trying to figure out how to back out of this mess with minimal humiliation.

      Marked safe from Western Propaganda

      @b_tella

      When I saw this yesterday I was just depressed. Not because I’m surprised by the vileness of our enemies no. But how fucking cooked we r in their hands.

      The average African today will tell u they don’t like Somalians and one major reason being Somalians don’t identify as African or whatever….

      My sharp mind knows we believe this because it’s useful to some people for us to believe it…

      As it turns out Israel has had its eyes on their water for a long time!

      Making us hate Somalians and not care about them as much as other Africans was deliberate.

      A sort of separating them from the herd to take them out.

      Most of us in sub Sahara don’t care or notice these things.

      When the evil Zionist start raping our children and stealing our land and we start hollering the world will say – first they came for the Palestinians and we said nothing, then they came for the Somalians and we said nothing still….

      I don’t know what to say today. We are ruled by abusive monsters.

      The US is preparing for war with Iran.

      They’re going in for the kill shot on Cuba.

      The latest batch of Epstein emails looks horrifying.

      The US is full of protests because ICE keeps killing people.

      Israel is still massacring civilians in Gaza as Australia prepares to host its president for an extended visit.

      Reuters has confirmed that Biden officials actively obstructed the circulation of internal USAID reports that Gaza was being turned into a nightmarish hellscape in early 2024.

      There’s so much cruelty. So much abuse.

      You’d think all this evidence that we are ruled by deranged psychopaths would unite us against them, but it doesn’t. The population is more angrily, bitterly divided against itself than ever.

      Political discourse has gotten as intensely vitriolic as I’ve ever seen it as Trump supporters take their stand behind the current abuser-in-chief and defend the status quo warmongering and tyranny with all their might. Discussing politics on social media feels like stepping into an emotional blast furnace these days.

      They’ve done such a good job dividing us and conquering us. It’s really incredible how good at it they are. It would be awe-inspiring if it wasn’t so evil and destructive.

      I haven’t felt like I’m in the zeitgeist recently. Usually I feel like I’m surfing the crest of dissident political consciousness and can provide insight and information into what’s coming up for us as a collective, but everything’s been so chaotic and frenzied lately it’s like trying to ride a bucking bull. I don’t know if that makes any sense to anyone but me, but that’s what it feels like.

      I don’t really have anything to add to that right now. I try to write something every day, but today all I’ve got is a feeble “There’s so much cruelty, and it hurts.”

      It fucking hurts, man.

      In the spirit of always looking at improving our understanding of this subject, I feel we have not looked at the whole picture.

      To create electric power, we still need to burn fossil fuels at the power plant, and there are the losses associated with transmission to the points of use.

      Solar and wind have costs associated with the technology that do not make them economically viable. And nuclear have long term risks that are hard to quantify.

        I would not be sad if cars died out.

        At the moment that doesn’t seem to be happening though.

        Seems pretty clear though the transition to electric is happening because those in the know realize the oil can’t last much longer.

        The overall thermal efficiency of a combustion powerplant is rarely 50%. From the power output (at best that’s half of the input energy) something like 10% is lost in transformers and long transmission lines, substations, and so on. Electric car batteries are not very efficient either, they lose quite a bit in charging…and there are numerous other losses. But efficiency is only one part. The absolute power requirement is very significant, basically the mass of the car. We see that electric bicycles make sense. In cars with combustion engines it’s rare to get 40% – the rule is 33% efficiency. We must reckon with the losses between oil well, refinery, and local filling station. Refineries use quite a lot of oil and gas just to run…but light weight cars that burn diesel or petrol and go 100 miles per gallon make sense. These are not imaginary…they’re buildable and pretty cheap. It comes down to a complex calculus as to what’s best in a given situation. Electric urban rail seems to me like a very good idea, and very thrifty. It worked very well in Los Angeles before and during WW2. That said, it’s fun to have a little pickup or car that mostly doesn’t get used, but is handy for specific jobs… and even powerful motorcycles get over 50 miles per gallon….they don’t have the mass of a car, be it electric or combustion. I object to the term “fossil fuel”. Petroleum is not a fossil fuel. Coal is. It’s absolutely clear, proved, that petroleum is the product of planetary outgassing of primordial methane….the entire chemical sequence is established.

      I simply used “fossil fuel” in the conventional sense. As to the origins of this liquid, I am sure there are many theories, including the one developed by Immanuel Velikovsky in Worlds in Collision, who proposed that Venus was ejected from Jupiter and caused cataclysms on Earth, allegedly raining hydrocarbons (oil) down upon the planet. I wouldn’t know, a little before my time!

      @Tamer_Alnoaizy

      I don’t know if you are aware, but today the Rafah crossing was opened, or rather the Rafah crossing prison, which is the simplest and most truthful description. In front of the world, it is being said that the crossing has opened normally and that we are allowed to travel and return whenever we wish, but the reality is completely different from what is being reported in the news.

      Only 100 people are allowed to leave per day, and those permitted to return to Gaza do not exceed 50 people. Even this return is not a right for everyone. It is restricted only to those who left Gaza after October 7. Anyone who left before that date is permanently barred from returning to Gaza. Worse still, anyone who leaves now is not allowed to return to the country again.

      Even those who are supposedly eligible to return after October 7 are forced into an inhumane choice inside special interrogation rooms under military questioning. Either they are allowed to return to Gaza, or they are detained and banned from returning. There is no sense of safety and no guarantees, only fear and coercion.

      The gate of the Rafah crossing itself has become a real prison gate, with barbed wire, surveillance cameras, snipers, and scenes we never imagined we would see at a place that is supposed to be a gateway to life. Here, we are not treated as human beings, but as numbers or threats.

      What is happening is forced displacement, openly and without shame. Every means of life here is being destroyed step by step to force us to leave the city and depart with no return. It is one of the most vile policies being carried out against us, a policy of coercion and breaking, executed in front of the entire world, while we are expected to believe it is all normal procedures.

      @LH_86_

      Since yesterday, Western media outlets have been deliberately distorting Xi Jinping’s announcement on Saturday, digging up an old speech he gave in 2024, recently republished in @QiushiJournal magazine.

      They are either pretending not to understand or are afraid to understand the significance of what he said.

      The Chinese president simply listed the attributes necessary for a financial powerhouse such as #China: a robust economic foundation, leading economic and technological power, and a credible and widely used currency.

      He merely publicly confirmed what has been happening in the markets for almost a year, namely an appreciation of the #RMB against the USD, which signals a fundamental change of direction in China: a move away from deflation through reflation, i.e., by ceasing to print #Yuan to maintain the 7:1 parity with the dollar, and thus allowing the yuan to appreciate against the dollar.

      The artificially low yuan of the past eight years has favored exports. In this respect, it has enabled China to improve its industrial production chain to the point of becoming the world leader, to move upmarket towards high-tech products with high added value, and to gain sufficient market share worldwide to continue this momentum.

      Today, Xi Jinping has basically announced that China needs a strong yuan. In a domestic context where the authorities have been announcing for almost two years that they want to make domestic consumption a second engine of growth (alongside exports), this means that China will import more, not only raw materials but also finished products.

      This is good news for the Chinese, whose purchasing power is increasing, but also for exporters around the world, if they know how to position themselves.

      Ultimately, this creates the conditions for an economic recovery for the whole world, with China at its center.

      This is good news, which the Western media will hide for as long as possible, so that a revival in Western exports to China is not attributed to the latter.

      The weekend articles, which are (deliberately?) off-topic in treating the RMB as a reserve currency, reveal a fear in the West of a strong RMB, as a replica of the strong yen of the 1980s.

          The Russian government intends to restore the military-technical support of their ships at the former military base in Cam Ranh (Vietnam), Lourdes (Cuba) and the Seychelles. So far, this is not about plans for a military presence, but rather the restoration of the crew resources. However, a solid contractual basis should be developed for these plans.

        I recently posted on this…the cooperation with France in the nuclear bomb program leads to the logical opinion that the German bomb can happen very rapidly…perhaps weeks if the French wish it. See the French https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction   I have longtimeago read that the actual production of the French bombs, the special material part and assembly, was done by the Germans, but I can’t find the article…
