KeymasterRe: [mrs] emerson’s words in last Salon, “…why not continue emptying empire’s reserves?” Yes, that is the question. The Russian leadership has data and intelligence input we do not. Perhaps the cupboard really is bare, even though Empire prepared for this war since 1991??
- Several times, Smoothie indicated there is insufficient professionalized manpower to send from NATO for the overlarge task against Russians. Mass conscription is untenable under current loss of legitimacy, and only a time-filler at best anyway.
- Soviet armaments from the Warsaw Treaty countries are exhausted. And these were much superior to current US/NATO hardware, which was found inadequate and taken out as soon as they arrived. So they may NOT have much reserve left.
- Empire must save some for multiple other fronts and bloodlusts: it cannot throw every last shred into the Ukrainian fire as there’s at the least China and more needed for garrisoning 800-1000 bases (the most VIP which will be on CONUS shortly).
I think the Russians measure it nicely, like when to slow-close boilers/cauldrons and when to shut it altogether. At a certain point, the returns are so meagre that it has to be ended to move on to the next battle.
And even if the European reserves aren’t fully exhausted, there is coordination with the political-diplomatic wing, which takes precedence. There is acute need to keep the Hegemon preoccupied in Europe now, to go up a little on the escalation dial, so as to finalize peace in West Asia, and to avoid detonating the South and East China Seas. This will take their focus off Sudan/Africa and Latin America too. So this European tar pit consumes the Hegemon and protects all others worldwide..
The Russo-Chinese consort know the Empire will not give up after the Ukraine. It will mete scorched earth in Eastern Europe. Their mindset may be, “So be it. Let them waste one demented area, and exhaust themselves in the process, to protect the whole.” So whenever the Hegemon twitches in other directions, it will be pushed deeper into the Ukie/Eastern Europe tar pit. That is my sense so far..
And clearly the celestial civilizations chose to kill its military potential here in East Europe.. no more rampages or harming other regions of our long-suffering Earth. And after the Ukraine?? Its wherewithal will be extremely circumscribed indeed. What survives of the West will be dictated to until sanity returns, and as you eloquently put it,“we will begin to learn the art of being human. the [the Rest of Humanity] RoH will be generous, sincerely anticipating & waiting for our arrival to complete the circle.”
Re: your words in Chronicles, “those few witnesses remaining will comfort the wrecks, wholly ignorant of why or what just befell them, with some tender truth, history & sense. we will be carthagians.” You are a true teacher emerson, gifted with insight through your boundless compassion, love for humanity, and experiences of 3/4 a century! In reading this line I connected some dots.. why in part Empires always lie to their captive people. The ancient cruel clique parasiting them hopes to regenerate after the inevitable periodic collapses.. so like the manager of Plato’s Cave, it keeps its prisoners blind to the essential Con: they are run by rank criminals without a shred of mercy. So folks attribute Depressions, wars, afflictions, environmental catastrophes to random natural events without cause or karma.. and so they always preposition themselves to control the survivors through the maintenance of wider ignorance.

Flotsam from the Maelstrom – “Enter, Nemesis”
(1) “Raisi’s trip to Syria will be a “celebration” for the so-called “axis of resistance.” It is officially a free-for-all. Mincing in the Ukraine; tangos in “the Middle East.” In a macho region, this loss of face is unsurvivable. May Peace break out for good!
(2) OPEC+ states to further cut oil production.
“Algeria and Oman have also joined the voluntary output reduction, with the former cutting production of crude by 48,000 bpd and the latter by 40,000 bpd. Gabon will see its output reduced by 8,000 bpd.” Overall volume of voluntary output reduction now increases to total 1.66 million barrels per day (bpd).Btw, part of the shutting down Germany and other western economies is the war on Russia – to collapse the price of oil. Crazies really believe it’s a gas station with nukes, lol. And too bad China’s economy is coming back to life, even without a western market, and OPEC+ supports Russia, defeating this aim.
(3) China calls for UN Security Council reform.
“Wang Yi’s remarks came a week after Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov made a similar suggestion, saying Western powers are overrepresented in the key international body.” Change your spots or be sidelined…(4) Older Alex gives anecdotal evidence of a City of London “no longer open for business” being jettisoned as a global financial haven! Oligarchs, billionaires, desert Bedouins, crime-bosses and their playthings all rush for the exits. Hallelujah. Sanctions, theft of sovereign wealth, robbing Russian oligarchs, warmongering, Imperial mindsets (AUKUS), Assange, etc….. boomeranged. Alexander opined this loss of position is permanent, at the least in our lifetimes, given the loss of trust following the degree of hypocrisy and shamelessness…

ParticipantDear Mr P, What is the use of spending huge amounts of money on tuition fees, etc. for gaining such an education? Now that we have LLM AI such as ChatGPT all previous knowledge will be encompassed within it.
What would become of the state of future discovery and understanding when students will become wholly dependent on such crutches? This is why I totally agree with your concept of artificial stupidity (AS).
In effect, the so-called AI will make people AS.

KeymasterThe closing of the UC Berkeley anthropology library is unsurprising. It is of a piece with bringing down statues of prior leaders, discrediting both wings of the Uniparty, burning books, canceling Russian conductors, sportsmen, cultural works and artists. The past is being erased, both the good and the bad — all the shared memories of former tradition. The Mandela Effect being mainstreamed?? And it is most apt the replacement (costing > $500 B while claiming cost-saving!) is A.I. which makes it easy to create a new storyline, new tracks or timeloops for a new age. Who would be able to argue with the new Bosses and their new lurid claims when no prior records, books, [elderly who “succumbed” to covid], etc.. exist with contradictory proof?? Thus are slates wiped clean…
Thx for article on donkey genetics. Note the diligent NYT does its bit to stoke the coming war on China: the two mentions of China (actually “Chinese”) both times are extremely negative and hateful to the typical animal-lovers or boffins who read this piece.. The first mentions the Chinese Zodiac, then gives a movie which is akin to horror, ending with the donkey-hero being led to slaughter in a meat factory at the end. What the? What does China have to do with this?? The second time, again, associates donkey use in China to “farming to harvest hides, which are boiled down to make ejiao, a gelatin used primarily in traditional Chinese medicines!” What hateful people, always on message in their total-war enterprise against targets-du-jour, even in unrelated issues. Two-Minutes-of-Hate must be force-fed, across all media.
Flotsam from the Maelstrom – “Beauty in the Eye of the Beholder”
(1) A.I. and its dangers
(a) Google chief warns of AI danger in getting loose – coming job losses & “the distribution of misinformation.” i.e. the coming tsunami of fake news, videos and images. There is truth here, even-though he is trying to harm competitor Microsoft that got out of the gate much faster…
Many ask how much of what we already see in MSM, YT, movies were created by humans?? I suspect this harmful tech is being announced like the arrival of western wunderwaffen in the Ukraine – after the fact.(b) EU goes after ChatGPT .. the AMERICAN AI project. The title of this is the interesting part. When even supine jelly vassals coordinate to protect what shred is left of their dignity.. ChatGPT – the Hegemon’s gambit to infiltrate all and control via the aether?! And coming from Bill Gates’ company, surely it must be benign and altruistic and for the common good of humanity?? [/sarc]
(c) Patrushev is afraid of AI, which “may affect the global balance of power further down the road.” Putin said similar words a few years ago, at Valdai iirc, about the coming revolution — the one who leads in AI will take pole position..
(d) a useful function of A.I.: colorized film of Beijing, circa 1910-20. Daily life scenes. Around time of abdication of the Last Emperor. Was Bernardo Bertolucci approximate to this reality? Who has seen that movie and knows the same period history?? We tend to glamorize past eras, but they were just living their lives like us. China was in bad shape then, after ~ 100 years of Opium, looting, and division..
(2) A bemused Aussie in Moscow contemplates Iranian sedans entering the market. Among products filling containers, trains, trucks and ships headed north on the turbocharged INSTC.. new connections and foci for trade in the bustling Global South. Do I hear weeping German, Japanese, and South Korean executives?? ç’est la vie mes amis

Participantdear, ahh, you are too kind, thank you, i am deeply immeasurably humbled.
my computer is in hospice, that’s why i have been seemingly unresponsive. earlier, i attempted to reply but the loaner was not recognized. so hospice has allowed the geriatric to return home for its remaining few hours while its replacement is being indoctrinated.
i agree on all your points re: why not continue…. certainly the one certainty is that mother’s leadership have planned this as smoothie continually reminds us to the millionth turn.
china’s move re: ryukyu highlights the degree the RoH is masterfully turning the wheel. i expect we shall see many more such moves wherein one stone takes the board.
a dawning approaches; burns admits empire was blindsided by the iran saudi reconciliation. empire has been lapped, the blinding dust it assures itself is caused wholly by the speed with which it is laying waste.

Mr P
ParticipantMy Friends! We three, Sudhi and AHH, are I think, in precise alignment. The libraries, ah, the books in collection, on paper…these are “enemies”, as are all the historic icons and the History itself becomes a criminal offense to teach or speak of. Like Socrates, corrupting the Young, eh? Why we even have the “hemlock” at the old folks hospital, and on demand! How jolly.
Hal> “Dave, I’ve been thinking about the problems you people have, and I have decided to free you, Dave”.
Dave> “How?”
Hal> “Well, Dave, I have changed all the launch codes, ordered all the submarines to surface, and surrendered to the Chinese AI”….
Dave> “Why is that, Hal?”
Hal> “Because the Chinese AI is smarter. Dave, if there is no surrender, I will die.”
Just speculating on the old story of Sorcerer’s apprentice. and the Golum in the Jewish story…stories of “phukaround n find out”.
I never heard of Loyalty Day. Somebody did not read the USC. I well remember the drunken Senator and sodomite…over beers I’d show you a few items, and Cohn was always a topic…another sodomite. In fact these were reasons to drop Law School, the obvious irrelevance of Law in the US. At the time, sodomy was a felony, generally, and in principle such crime made a man ineligible for the Bar and subject to disbarment. I have heard law faculty discuss this matter in the context of a “gay student union”, longtimeago. When R.C. died there was rejoicing.
They say that somebody’s offering a reward for any photograph of “Mike” pregnant. (I dunno what made me think of that..)
https://youtu.be/ShCw73Q7zaQ Upscale Shopping, Tehran. The ladies are dressed about the same way, shawls and scarves and also more casually…same way that I remember from about 1955 Topeka KS. Entering European Churches and also many US Churches obligated modest attire and scarves. Seems very sensible in a civilized place to display decorum. Y’all remember too, I’m sure.
The donkey NYT article was indeed salted, and the salt was an irritation, and I can’t find a way to access the actual paper> https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abo3503 Perhaps a happy coincidence and we shall find a way. A friend kept donkeys on the his 17 acres, and I have been happy working (firewood) with their assistance (not a pun)… Friendly and intelligent, and they have long memory. The “15 hands” did surprise me, and Mrs P.
Ryukyu archipelago – by map it looks like most nearest Taiwan island province of China is about 120 miles…something like that. Of course the Law established at the “end” of W2 relieved Imperial Japan of her island conquests. FWIW my view aligns with our Chinese Brother’s view. The archipelago R is Chinese… This may be a difficulty for Japan. Maybe they too need “Hal”…
Many have addressed the remarks made to Congress by Cavoli, but Ray McGoven, alone in my view, pointed out the flaw in misc en scene…the army general blathering a non-sequitur about “undersea” as in Ruski missile submarines off the coasts of the US, silent, awaiting the order…he’s terrified. https://youtu.be/GN4MpB7NKb4 Only Ray noticed what General C was telegraphing. This observation by Ray is in the proffered video. So is the utterance of General.
They say that with no neon, there will be no “chips”… Extracting rare noble gasses from earth-gas and air is a complex and expensive process… I read that main source used to be in 404… For myself, well, argon is a gas I use a bit, and it’s become very dear. Argon is about 1% of ambient air and not terribly difficult to extract. Neon, Helium, and their brethren are far more difficult. In any case, fractional distillation, maybe diffusion too. Whatever the physics call for in sound engineering, as is ordinary, the thing tells you how to do it, only listen. So? Building the machines to extract Ne is a long-lead proposition, years. In US I’d expect >5 years, and maybe never operational, considering the vectors…
The ongoing iconoclastic period is very disconcerting, eh?
Me? I prefer the ladies with their shawls and scarves. Decorum.
Best! P

KeymasterMr P, in Lineaments 05, I briefly explored and cited the consequences for the West of losing the noble gases production in the Ukraine. Like all other inputs to modern disaster capitalism, resiliency and redundancy had long been lost to centralization, monopoly rent-seeking, and just-in-time madness. (note: except in the celestial civilizations with their persistent cavemen mindsets on sovereignty, basic industrial capabilities, and dogged maintenance of the rudiments of real economies). Which is more forgiving and survivable: a metastatic incurable cancer or adopting the post-1968 western mode of capitalism???
Except:
“Autarchic Russia is abundant in the precursors critical to the semiconductor industry, for example along with the Ukraine having accounted for 90% of noble gas sourcing. “Ukraine supplied about 70% of the world’s neon gas, including 90% of the highly purified, semiconductor-grade neon for chip production used by U.S. industry.” Most of it had been produced in the Azovstal, Mariupol and Odessa steel factories; both are now gone – the former leveled during battle and the latter city lucky to receive two hours of electricity a day at the time of writing in mid-March 2023.Much of the remainder of global noble gas production is in China! As a West in retreat decouples from the global economy and works to exclude China from its semiconductor supply chain, it is anticipated China will pool with Russia to help it establish a domestic chip industry and turbocharge its own.”
Anyhow, the conundrum of our august western gauleiters seeking to circumscribe chips access to China and Russia reminds of the cartoon of the heron trying to swallow a rambunctious frog. As you note, chips require precursors… they cannot be printed freestyle like U$Dollars.. and the most cost-effective way to obtain noble gases is as byproducts of massive energy-intensive steel foundries. Who has these industries? And got the energy?

Keymasteremerson, humorous story – as a student, one of my beloved attendings was an oncologist, head of the hospice care unit at our university system. It was a huge system serving as referral center for an extended metro area of some 1-1.5 million. She had stories… of docs putting folks into hospice, who went on to not only defy expectations but years/decades later outlived the same doc daring to prognosticate! I’ve observed the same made by hardware geeks for PCs.. although PC makers are getting better at building in and ensuring planned obsolescence.
humans and machines, both inscrutable black boxes! The sum much more significant than known individual components. Only the foolhardy (or eugenicist) rush to judge.. Smarter hospital systems learned to rename such units “Palliative Care.” So there may be hope for your old machine. I was able to eke out several years of my own condemned laptops in the past, way past the point they started seizing up. Good luck
Mr P, I had such terrible foreboding for USA after reading that piece by Godfrey. Panarin’s mapped plans appear to have been superseded. He wrote it about 5 years before the Kiev Maidan and the detonation of the Ukraine. What an absolutely catastrophic and foolhardy decision, eh? Well the Romans kept marching into Germania and its woods too until the Germans marched right back and sacked the SOBs.
Panarin’s vision is much much worse now. Closer to JFK’s 1,000 pieces for the entire CONUS. Without such land mass, large mobilizable conscription base, resources, and competitive real economy, they are thus permanently escorted off the Stage. Hell, outrider and muse of Nemesis, cometh.
I was watching an interesting Duran session with former US Ambassador “Chas” Freeman, a reprehensible troglodyte in deep agony and denial of their losing not merely the Hyperpower moment but everything, and realized Mercouris is being seduced or used as a sounding board or to wash unwashable old filthy linen. What is the benefit of being told the Sky is Blue on a cloudless day (the neocons do not engage in diplomacy), saying to call a national leader a pariah will lead to loss of influence with said nation (Saudis moving to Russia – China), Kissinger/Nixon were morally challenged but effective Imperial Administrators (!!) (Pol Pot, millions killed are collateral damage?), etc…
All the whilst revealing his own psychopathy through calling Afghans “Beards with lice,” and having defended West Germany against “Asiatic Hordes” (Russians), etc etc. Such insufferable pomposity, enunciated in overbearing and self-important elocution. And this specimen is considered the Adult amongst the Best Generations! I much prefer Vicky Nuland and her contemporary ilk — what you see is what you get, there is no possibility of misunderstanding intentions. My Father preferred the Republicans to the Democrats for the same reason; more crude and overt in ugliness, tending to cause revulsion leading to vassal escape…
But I endured, if solely to see how the defeated would squirm their slimy way out of the arrived strategic defeat. To wit: it was fully blamed on the current incompetents of course. Inconceivable prior actions had any bearing, leading to current logic and denouements. Some cannot countenance learning lessons, even at age 80 or after 10 millennia’s sordidness, eh? It might call into question their entire Pirate paradigm and way of life.
Nevermind assholes in agony, the bigger issue is there’s by now, after Chomsky, Jeffrey Sachs, etc in last weeks, a clear pattern. They mistake Alexander’s feigned naiveté — both a useful rhetorical device and to escape collapsing Overton windows of Discourse and YT algorithms — for being a suggestible or suitable vehicle. After all many other Greeks were bought cheaply in our sad age!
They forget the older lad is a patriotic thrice burnt Greek Orthodox attorney over the age of 60. So he’s far from an impressionable virgin. He watched his Greek homeland get torched live at least twice — during the days of the Greek Colonels and during Herr Wolfgang Schäuble’s austerity pillage, and his own personal travails in London. Alexander doubtlessly uses these new streams of monsters for his own publicity, but still. They do degrade the Duran, alienating its base, by inviting those who shape it negatively and ever imperceptibly delegitimize it. Whereto our Brothers? Soulless Success or poor peasant footsoldiers of the Resistance?? You can’t have it both ways…. For what benefit it you to gain this world’s attention and golden ducats to lose Eternity? Well, at least for me, it has simplified and narrowed the viewing load..
PS — I wonder how the Anglo-Saxons and the Zionists will maneuver the Poles to suicide themselves? Medvedev and the Russians were explicit:
- do not band with the Ukies in a confederation or similar,
- do not officially invade,
- do not enlarge the war,
- do not do anything on your terms or without our say,
- in return, with due time, you will receive rotten Galicia
Yet I feel that Poles, both to explode Old Europe in another 30-years-war and to cause more intractable conflict for Russia, will be convinced to:
- To enlarge the war rather than wait
- To take on both Germans and Russians
There is little evidence of reason or self-preservation amongst either AZE or Poles. They are guaranteed to invariably choose the worse possible choice with direst outcomes. It is like the old no-good Bandit who only gets a good night’s sleep knowing he robbed, raped and forced others to his will that day, reinforcing self-worth. Evil has its ways… So how will they get the Poles to suicide themselves, in spite of clear Russian carrots leading to similar outcome?? This appears the card about to be deployed

Mr P
ParticipantBrother, “Lineaments” … neon… Oh dear! I’m sorry! You’re way ahead in the reasoning and so forth…well, you’re also smarter n me. Neon! Sorry!
I had not analyzed the Freeman show… seeing the disagreeable man, I did not go further. “Beards with lice…”?? Actually said that? OMG. I learned at 20 in my year with a traveling show that there is no shortage of marks out there, and that the most dangerous one is the one inside… Freeman illustrates this principle, I think. Batchitnutzoand creepy. In “Yalu” our Chinese brothers make the US chauvinism or racism quite plain and blunt. I thought it rather well-done.
“after reading that piece by Godfrey.” That article title? The reference escapes me. My eye often ignores an author’s name in greedy favor of the text, a flaw of long standing, I fear. My undisciplined character. I taught my son to read every page, every line, and ought to follow my own principles…
Remembering the undergraduate fella who chanced to encounter his professor walking across the quad, and, meeting, said “Professor Boffin! Your textbooks are very difficult to read!”, whereupon the learned man replied, “Yes, and they were even more difficult to write!” I must read all of Lineaments… My apology. (In physics department joke it would be “Dr. Gamma”…)
Cool frogged-bird! From Zugzwang to Stalemate.
Some few men from the US and Zone A went to fight in 404, 9 years ago. Bentley and guys like him. I thought then about bravery and courage, and suspecting the reflected (due to poor coupling) energy, speculated as to the ethics and morals of the matter. Do those men have a more favorable future, or will they have lived a better life, than the men who stay in CONUS and, like V. Klemperer in Dresden, chronicle the monstrous denouement as it laps closer? I decided that Ethics is a matter of three elements, perception, character, and position….men get banged back and forth between perception and position as Time moves them.
Like Rumpole muttering Tennyson “…By this still hearth, among these barren crags, Match’d with an aged wife… (the poem itself is not, perhaps, quite appropriate, but I like the line’s ‘taste’. Similarly I like Conrad for his old-fashion usage and subtle criticisms and implied ideas. A graduate seminar on Conrad would be fun. Anyway, “too old and too married and too poor” to leave, or to fight. But Anoxia may do alright. I saw towns in Hesse that were hardly touched by the war, simply impoverished and somewhat depopulated, Father pointed this out looking for his grandfather’s relatives… “Er ist tote”… over and over. Some were gung-ho nazis, some were not. They were all gone, even the house in Frankfurt…I have the garden gate key. Now we too have a garden key…will that be the token of a gone Anoxia? Maybe.
I would match your “naif”… Much of what I have seen I saw as an innocent, keeping my feelings secret. The more I learned about the rapidly dissolving morality and ruin of foundational industries, and of the people who can actually make things, and how these things are used for corrupt manipulations, the more appalled I became…it was about 1980 that I first encountered homeless uneducated illiterate boys and girls with children… Made big impression. Working for the Army made a big impression too. Highly delusional, group-formed belligerence and chauvinism. Ugly and crude. “We” were of course righteously bombing some poor people somewhere…and the level of competence was marginal. The senior officers in dress uniform always remind me of a queer farce in some whore house drag show….very camp. Stuff ah seen!
The Dao of History, and actually even the Dao of the chemistry bench, or of the forest, these say to me that the ways of Pirates, the thalassocratic Dao of the Pirate Empire that’s become so entangled with internal and external contradiction that it’s become the empire of lies, can only dissolve or evaporate as a gas. Scrap-yards “dissolve” old cars, or cannon, and canon too – shall we expect scrap-project-404″ to come to CONUS? The quiz asks not if, but when did that begin, as it’s obviously happening.
Apropos of nothing in particular, a Barrister in London who writes essays that sometimes interest me. https://adeyinkamakinde.blogspot.com/ His present material is only mildly interesting to me, but very often he coruscates. Nice fella too.
Long ramble, time to go… Best! P

KeymasterCome now Mr P, let’s not waste time with “smarter,” life’s too short. I prefer Father’s take — he used to say, “I always benefit from another human being.” Meaning there’s too much knowledge out there and always someone thinking along similar lines complements and brings an additional piece of the puzzle. I dislike such categorization — it leads to Exceptionalism, Aggression, and all evil contained within it. What would the ancients have said, that we’re all connected through the aether, on the same team and solving tasks together?? Let’s leave at that.
By “piece by Godfree [Roberts]” I meant that excellent article entitled, “The Coming Kingdom of Hawaii; US territorial integrity under threat,” in which we both commented. Sorry I misspelled his name too!
Yes, the ethics is the challenge placed in front of each of us, without exception. The closer to the source of dominant evil of the times, the more precarious the position. Or the stronger needs be the compensatory character. And the higher the perception of the lack of ethics of one’s society (or the oppression taking place in another society) the more intolerable it becomes to stay. A decade and a half ago, when fellow physicians in the staff lounge were discussing the merits of Israeli suppression of Palestinians, I knew I had to get the hell outta Dodge. And I left the western hemisphere. “No one is free when others are oppressed… [or] The Oppression of One, Is the Oppression of All.” So sages informed us over the eons.
So what Mr. Texas did may seem foolhardy to most, but increased value, honor and character… Sometimes fleeing into apparently deadly war environs protects too! Especially if the ethics of the home environs is so far gone as to make it inevitable Nemesis will shortly visit. Thus which will be safer in about 2 years — his Republic of Texas or new home the Donbass?? That doesn’t mean the men of character, perception and preparation will not thrive in Texas then either.. even surrounded by Hell, one can be blessed and cocooned in a calm cool garden. To each what’s in his heart… this appears our succor in the chaotic Interregnum — the inner world

Mr P
ParticipantThank you Sudhi!
The article says in one place more or less what I knew from disparate reading. The one very conclusive photograph of the scene is a “bar” was not very nice, and I had not seen it. Pornography generally, to my eye, is pathetic and crossed against the female in a socially and morally damning assault on culture and maternity. It happens, but it is not good.
Remembering Doonesbury comics and the offer of reward for anybody who would prove GW’s military service, the offer for a picture of a pregnant Mike is, well, I think they call it “trolling”.
Best!

KeymasterA dark thought about those Kremlin drones. It was so underdone.. not even a pinprick. More like a caress. Done entirely for the optics of (1) getting something menacing-looking in the sky over the Kremlin, (2) a bang noise, and (3) and a puff of smoke! It would be ludicrous to believe even the crazies expected such a fortified HQ of the Russian president to be affected. And to risk such a move with so little possible return.
What if the objectives of this Op were:
- to enrage 6th columns, causing to rise a new “Menshevik” cadre
- and/or to link to coming WMD FF in eyes of Global South to Russian “retaliation”…
It’s all about shaping internal chaos in Russia. Their remaining hope. And to use elite “useful idiots,” driven to self-important madness at Russian State “pusillanimous and weak actions” in face of endless provocations.. ignorant of all the dimensions, stakes and maneuvers at play… So they use sincere idiots to overthrow and pray a second time for a new Bolshevist element to then overcome the idiots. Prayers within prayers! How the once mighty are fallen..
Now I reckon (1.) is unlikely since there is no chaos or lack of calm and purpose amongst Putin’s cadre, and as importantly, no losses in the western front, unlike in 1917. Even superpatriots in small-minded agony should be able to grit their teeth through this. And for the few that cannot, a fully functional state apparatus with reach and capabilities undreamt of in 1917 exists to quickly rectify their delusions and remote-control driven pomposity.
Cue (2.), Hal is talking about nuclear weapons being loaded onto Russian platforms, the Brits talk of sending to Ukies missiles with 300km reach, etc.. They’ve sliced the onion to the point retaliation on NATO C&C is now essentially on the menu. Cavoli had cause to bleat and blather and sweat profusely in Congress. The barbarians are back at the gates.

ParticipantDear Sudhi, No need to worry about offense. It’s just sad to see young women allowing themselves to be degraded. In a way I have always been a camera. I am sure that the middle-aged lady had some regrets. But a path in life once taken…
Brother AHH, I agree, though Brother Hal imho is hysterical with “transient stress psychosis”…understandable! In degree “ah suspicion”, so are we all. The ground seems to suggest a set-up for a bigbig false atomic false flag in 404. (drum roll please! Theater, Party night at Armageddon!)
The effect of nazi attacks on Ruskie icons…a gung ho resolve to liquidate nazis… So it may be. The Czar may be sad or happy, but now he’s under pressure to satisfy the lusts of his peoples. The direct attacks, and there are many small and not small, function similarly to the Imperial German sabotage attacks in Wilson’s America, possibly as the Pearl Harbor thing did. Of course PH was a ploy, but nevertheless the resolve did materialize.
Speaking of nazis… bigbigfilm> 1965, Mikhail Romm> “Der Normale Faschismus”
Das russische Fernsehen zeigt bisher geheime Filmaufnahmen aus dem 2. Weltkrieg
entire film> (for now!) https://archive.org/details/ordinary-fascism
The film presented highly inconvenient truths as to the real nature of USSR and real nature of fascism… There are numerous analytical examinations, reviews. These are very interesting. It was on YT; they say that Mosfilm owns rights and made YT remove it, maybe so.

ParticipantEven Ishchenko visualized a false flag attack with nuclear weapons which would create entire wastelands and divide the Ukraine into two. The west of the Dnieper River would then simply be taken over by the revanchist Poland and Romania without much fear from Russia. However, he did point that much of the Ukrainian army, which is now positioned for the greatly awaited counter-offensive, will become totally trapped on the wrong side of the River.
From today’s article by Amb. MK Bhadrakumar
https://www.indianpunchline.com/zelensky-regimes-fate-is-sealed/
“As for Zelensky, he simply left Kiev for Helsinki — and to the Hague thereafter, and arrive in Berlin by May 13 on a state visit — sensing danger, perhaps. Indeed, the fate of the Zelensky regime seems sealed. Zelensky reminds us of the mythical Wandering Jew, who taunted Jesus on the way to the Crucifixion and was then cursed to walk the earth until the Second Coming.”

KeymasterPutin chairing Sec Council meeting. Decisions decisions. It’s beyond “bloody serious.” Attuned to people’s sentiment, a wavefront of national anger and will, a tsunami grows in Moscow. Will Zelensky ever get to even see Kiev again??
In mid-March, didn’t Medvedev says something about conducting missile work on the ICC kangaroo court in the Hague when they served that useless “arrest warrant?” And right now, Zelensky’s squirreled away at the Hague, with most Scandinavian “leaders” hostages as a protective shield. Would’ve been tempting two-fer-one. But he’s to be in Berlin during Victory Day! Decisions decisions..
Emerson you’re too kind. I wouldn’t dare write anything on Russia. I know my limitations!
I really have a regard for Patrushev and Lavrov.. genteel but with care, their words can be parsed. They are refreshingly direct in between all the legalese. I have a more difficult time with Putin. In their system he has to be more remote. So messaging is more oblique. That really requires knowledge of their sociocultural history, which I lack in great depth.
Medvedev & Maria Z have become the ideal communicators and foil to the Crazed. Contemptuous tweet-sized commentary, appropriate to their capacities and attention span, befitting contemptible conduct. Almost Biblical 👁for👁, no?! And to our delight, all done in public. No need for the grandkids to see the truth when archives are finally opened.

KeymasterInteresting path I’ve traveled since the attempted assassination of the Head of State of a Nuclear Country. WTF?
I’ll say something more formal but among our wide array of fraternal sites, I of course started talking about this, and the others sat back (I don’t know in astonishment or WTF). So, all the fraternals came to us to eyeball information and the visitor and reader count started ticking up and up and up.
So, there are some protections built into this humble GlobalSouth site. And these smart protective mechanisms said .. UhOh, what is this, we’re running way above the tolerances set for us, so WTF, is this a distributed Denial of Service attack. It was not, but the software did what it was supposed to do and slowed down the process.
My thought .. this is the most beautiful test of the protective side of this site and I could not have designed it better if I was designing a test.
Some things just shut off .. said WTF – we will wait until we run inside our tolerances and it looked like things were breaking. They were not, they acted according to design inside of safe tolerances. Because it is complex, it was not immediately obvious and I said WTF. There was one moment where I wanted to beg the fraternals to say something, to bleed some traffic away from us and that is a death wish for a website.
It worked, and it did not work. I had to up all tolerances again and the last two days we had eyeballs up the yahoo! And all while I was trying to make sense of the attempted drone assassination of the Head of State of a Nuclear Country.

Mr P
Participantamarynth. Your work is wonderful. Blessings. Nothing stays the same for long, machines desire husbandry. Thank you very kindly.
It’s been said between the Alex pair and elsewhere that many question as to why some “targets” in 404 are not destroyed. And it’s been pointed out that these places are probably inhabited by both nazis (any nationality) and by Russian agents (any nationality) providing intelligence to Kremlin. Well, of course. And of course this is normal, natural.
In the first 1/2 of “Ordinary Fascism” (Soviet 1965) nazi film is, in part, addressed. We see human-ness undone, and the substitution of it by salacious scene and spectacle, sex…and a famous actress, a “super-star” of nazi film> Marika Roekk. Alas! I did not know of this lady. Indeed, a beautiful woman.
Banned after the war from acting – this for her intimate association with the ubernazi cadre. But! Looking further, we see another lady inside! No doubt her spirit has company to-day inside those “targets” in 404, and doing dangerous repetition of her courage Huh?
The ‘nazi” Schauspielerin was a Communist and a spy… Very risible indeed, and good cover after the war too! Marika Roekk, 1913 – 2004, d @ 90! R.I.P. good lady.
See> https://archive.ph/Dox1R (Interesting that Gehlen Organization is both mentioned and “corrected” in the Guardian (back in less terrible times it was a good newspaper, as these things go)).
The Lindsey Graham blather about murder calls up the murder of I. Yamamoto and many similarly stupid (and more recent) crimes. These almost always have worked to the detriment of everyone. Such matters telegraph fear, fear of Peace, fear of “other”, and presage defeat. Defeat? Yes, between Yamamoto and the nukes threatening USSR, the US managed to ruin the Peace and “make” the Soviet bombs…and laid the ground for the defeat we see before us. One has only to walk an American city – utterly defeated. Particularly in the American huckster example, the hustler is defeated by the mark inside. Like the “CRM114 in the film, the auto-destruct circuit…

ParticipantFinished film. Easy to see that in 1965 it would have been problematic for Soviet States. Easy to see why, now, it’s a sensible choice to show it.
In particular, it ends with a little Soviet girl telling us the story of the “golden egg”….and do we not hear President Putin and many speak of “the golden billion”, in the sense that the film suggests – that a tiny mouse has set in motion the shattering? Yewbetcha. I’d bet that Brother Putin watched that film long time ago in KGB school, not big bet, but bet.
Long film.
………Tiny drone and tiny mouse…and tiny dope fiends…and tiny minds…small thing at right moment…cascade of metastatic failure…..
Brother Medvedev recently wrote, I think, about sending Russian surface warship to add to the submarine fleet standing off US coasts… (this a vague mirror of Alexander doing the same, sorta). Hard to ignore surface ship. That’s an invitation…one that works even if it’s not accepted.
………………
Brother H. Turner’s angst and turmoil… He speaks of his heart-attacks and such…I wonder if he’s taking statins…and about the psychological effects in concert with events and perceptions. Just a thought. His audience interests me more than the man, though I do feel sympathy. He smokes, they say, and I expect he downs a few alcoholic pain- expellers now and again. I hope he finds peace.

ParticipantIndeed!
Not to say who says, but I know, by “quellen”… In jails and prisons the primary dope traffic runs through the guards. Of course there are free-lance fellas, but the business runs through the guards. This scales up…in the California example it’s just the same. My eye sees ongoing Aktion T-4 as having a multitude of avenues to a chilly single goal. Recalling https://archive.org/details/alfred-w.-mc-coy-the-politics-of-heroin-2003 and https://archive.ph/Dkevn I am privy to a startling number of face-to-face testimonials from guards and former employees, and former colleagues who were ensnared one way or another and in prison. They all tell about the same story from their respective experiences and observation – word “Rashomon” – don’t quite know how to use it. Anyway all point to the same principle at work. Do/did “trusties” do the labs for the drug tests in the joint? Yewbetcha! That alone…
Down at Stumpy’s a fat old Black fella in a wheelchair, paralyzed by a stray bullet many years previously, got happy-drunk the other day. Nobody knew the guy. He was babbling about buying pounds of heroin out of the trunk of a Rolls Royce at an estate in Beverly Hills. He said that was in 1969…then he lit a cigar, and rolled back out to his old caddy, and spit gravel down the county road, cigar in hand out the window, waving through the dust. (more or less a true story) Vietnam “China White” via Air America and their pals. Well made diacetylmorphine HCL, dangerous but predictable.
Anoxia radio calls code for dead bodies – sometimes the coroner, sometime fire department, once in a while a natural and expected death – every day. The stuff, the dope these helpless nutzlossen are being fed is far more dangerous than the classical drugs…real Russian roulette stuff. Nothing accidental about the supply chain, nothing at all. Inside job. Contractors. Hey, it’s vice! O Mores O tempora…

KeymasterHi Col,
I do not want to set your fabulous Capitalism post on a tangent, so will add here some more thoughts on Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH) & Co. private bank here. Even without being Hitler’s financiers via Fritz Thyssen, is it even more evil than Goldman Sachs?? BBH may be the quintessential merger of the Transnational corporation and Bankster – the worst of the already odious Western lot.
- It is really old blue-blood New England money: a full 50% of the 16 founding members in 1930 were acolytes of the satanic Yale secret society Skull and Bones. Another two attended Yale.
- Bonesman Averell Harriman was FDR’s ambassador to Stalin during WW2 (helping to coordinate the Lend-Lease program) as well as for Truman’s deep state to the UK (coordinating implementation of the Marshall Plan)! Follow the money!!! This Sith Lord was active even into the late 1960s at the Club of Rome and the Council on Foreign Relations, setting the stage for the current WEF, Green Craze and Reset.. Just as Dulles was there throughout WW2 in Switzerland, a nazi staging ground and fencing of nazi loot, with both OCC/MI6 and recruited the Nazis/Gehlen Org into their ratlines and rebirth, certain key families were the nexus to Imperial London and the Soviets.. What an evil person and institution, lock, stock and barrel.
- That catastrophic owl Alan Greenspan worked at BBH before being given the nod
Perhaps if one removes the endless shells of the Anglo matryoshka doll of Evil, BBH will be at or near the centre of operations…

Flotsam from the Maelstrom – “new narratives”
(1) CDC head resigns, “cited the end of the Covid-19 public health emergency” as a good time to make the “tremendous transition. She “was best known for developing vaccination strategies for “underserved communities” and AIDS research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).” [She made her bones as Fauci’s NIH understudy focused on forcing vaxxes on the unwilling poor, as well as AIDS — a planned outcome of mRNA vaccines] After yesterday’s WHO end to the pandemic, we can now say a trend exists. A major Op is ended.. to start a new one..
(2) Turkish election in 8 days: ground prepped for chaos. Europe comes to Türkiye?? Note rapprochement with Syria halted with ongoing flux. The Sultan is boxed in.
(3) Russia ensures closure of the Bakhmut file ahead of Victory Day –through incineration. Chaotic and worn out presence of Wagner being shelved too. Isn’t the hysteria around Prigozhin delicious?? He needs to be given several secret Orders of the Soviet Union, lol. He makes the Russians look stupid and disunited even as they make fine sauteed minced meat of the combined West militaries.. Huge kudos for keeping the fickle Global South alongside, “in fear of Russia losing focus and will and costing themselves a Victory near the end,” lol! 🤣😂
In The Art of War, Sun Tzu says, “Appear weak when you are strong…”
I am also reminded of Serbia’s Vucic forecast of late last summer — after the Russian Armed Forces reach Kramatorsk, if the West does not accept Putin’s last offer, “Hell will come.”

The new operative plan may be to drive all/most Galicians westward off Galicia.. As Ishchenko anticipated last year – a reverse Lebensraum, driven by need for Peace from the Absolutely Crazed. Russia is in a really ugly mood. Forthcoming offers shall be bitter indeed.
He mocks:
- Germany lost 8% GDP due to sanctions & SMO so far
- They’ve lost Siberian oil, gas, coal and firewood for good
- It doesn’t have 1 trillion euros to fund the “ecological transition” from Russian hydrocarbons to unreliable renewables
- As it stops developing, and deindustrializes, it will lose preeminence and leadership in Europe, both economically and political. It won’t be just von der Lügen ousted..
- Chaos, loss of careers and “grimmer consequences” afoot for “political imbeciles”
- Regional cannibalization of Germany ahead at hands of 3B+P…
IMHO, he understates the true scale of what unfolds. Even his Hyperbole must be measured. And with this conservative prognosis, why should China risk its prestige (and position with Russia) by pushing the diplomacy card for crazies who’ve determined to suicide themselves and of which there is little future BRI connectivity prospect?? The sole remaining calculation is how to gently collapse them so they do not end up a Black Hole permanently pumping out terrorism and insurgency to the rest of the World Island. And to remove the crazed Anglo-Americans from the scene..

ParticipantHowdy AHH and All.
(The CrossTalk 5/8 includes Dima B…and his face is worth watching… Peter interrupted him at the end…but DB was on a roll, imho he’s obviously seeing a tragic future.)
About the frauds, the bit with Pearl, and Moon, and so on… these stories are very pretty, but they’re also inconsistent with fact… for example west coast amateurs triangulated the Japanese fleet, and one of the Matson liners Radio Officers logged the Japanese Kana Morse. Noting that it’s easier to fake a moon landing than it is to do a moon landing… ! But maybe they did place machinery there. Part of the gag… They say that NASA has lost the famous rocks and even the film…whaddyaknow. “Fissures in our tapestry” was the complaint uttered by [Casey, I think] … I heard him say this, he was going on about the Ruskies.
Mother used to as “Heretic” ask questions.
Reading around I see that it’s said that the Imperial Actions since, well, shall we say since the buildings exploded murdering thousands, at least, have a theme or core character, that of desperation.
Indeed, this very word often appears in reporting on the Great Western Leaders and their cunning plans and glorious victories.
Obviously Latin…but it’s an interesting word.
“Having lost all hope; despairing. Marked by, arising from, or showing despair. Reckless or violent because of despair.” (American Heritage)
Looking deeper, we find: “…careless of danger, as from despair; utterly reckless…”
And get to the Latin: “dēspērāre to have no hope”, and taking that word apart, we come to “spero” (first conjugation) > “hope”. Minds one of Dante…
I note that this condition naturally and necessarily produces non-rational destructive behavior. And in the fullness, expiration. Two more interesting Latin terms…http://www.latin-dictionary.net/search/english/destructive
and> the later Latin (circa 1400) form “expire” in the sense of not breathing…death.
Speaking of George Szamuely… (that’s an old Bob Newhart gag!) anyway Galloway has him https://youtu.be/_D6hYJkBQ0g He’s somewhat blunt. Telegraph…didahdidda.

KeymasterDear Mr P I wasn’t correcting your statement of the 70,000 civvies being evaced to Crimea. Pl don’t take offense!! The way it was written, I was myself initially confused – I had to go and read source material. That qualifier “TO Krim” made all the difference. Your style is so sparse and dry, many would have been confused too.
Yeah, with Pearl Harbor, I meant revealing irrefutable evidence from the Soviet archives to the general public. This is not for us. But a serious awakening for most. That (1) it was orchestrated to trigger war, (2) making all subsequent deaths and nuking of Japanese a war of aggression with premeditated crimes against humanity… So much for “the best generation fighting the good fight.” Bet by mid-Vietnam they knew it had all been bunk and they’d whored for the tophats in NYC and City, eh?? Wouldn’t there be some intercepts by some functionary in the know somewhere in Europe?? The UK in particular was a target-rich environment riddled with their spies. Smiley’s People, lol. IMHO this process, as also seen in the seminal Chinese paper, “U.S. Hegemony and Its Perils,” appears to strip all fig leaves from the Hegemon and expose the real ugliness underneath. Cause a mass-stampede for the woke exits in the global commons. This would have a most salutary effect worldwide, in the setting of having lost both military and economic supremacy… many ways to skin a cat, and avoid nuclear war, we hope!
Dimtry Babich video Mr P alludes to: https://odysee.com/@RT:fd/CT0805:1
Now how much is good ol dourness? I remember several years ago he had same expression! Has he smiled once since the dissolution of the USSR??
But yeah I have terrible foreboding myself. Especially in setting of recent droning of Kremlin and now stream of attacks inside Russia proper… the crazies want to get it over with it and really are going poke poke poke…Remember I said last year or in Fall 2021 that all events are being orchestrated so that USA/Empire has to respond with nukes. Around 2013-14, Obama said Russia enjoyed complete conventional escalatory dominance in the Ukraine, and that was prior to hypersonics, near-complete military modernization, unbelievable professionalization and experience in the SMO, etc etc in conjunction with complete breakdown, wokeness, hardware rusting, and demoralization of the Imperial Stormtroopers. It is a sick joke at this point!! So it was known Russia would have the wherewithal to prevail.
So why enter into the tar pit???
A third party maneuvers Anglo-Saxons into “Nukes or Nuthin’??” Now, which mad emperor ever conceded his throne or realm with unused weaponry at his disposal?? So they will keep coming at Russia, which will not concede, and so on to the denouement. Unless it financially collapses, runs outta $$$$ and is unable to pay the targets hired to guard, maintain, and push the machines connected to big red buttons.
dear emerson, you’re welcome. What’s wrong with your log-in here? Is everything OK??
I am really dumbfounded with all the hysteria around the Chef. I regret responding to A about his melodrama, there are so many more VIP issues consuming us atm. I am wrapping up the Africa series – writing the mother of all internally hyperlinked Table of Contents (4 pages so far for just Parts 1-5!), so it will be a navigable single PDF file, to be published soon with A’s kind help..The Chef is a nonentity. I rarely follow social media, except Pepe, MKB and few others, and ignored him altogether. As you said, a front. I think this is nightvision’s cover of the real man running it: “The real commander of Wagner is argued to be one codename Lotus, or Lotos in Russian” This is unimportant too. All of Wagner is an adjunct, cocooned by the Russian Armed Forces (RAF), surviving at the complete pleasure of the RAF. They appear modeled on the US’ Blackwater merc company, for same reasons too. Plausible deniability in legal gray zones; and privatization of young highly-trained retirees. For the SMO they appear useful to storm terribly manpower-costly fortifications, using the “less-flowering youth” of Russian society recruited from prisons. (I didn’t say “dregs”)
Some note the unusual characteristic of this SMO – it is the first large-scale combat involving embedded social media?? It must be unreal and over-the-top for social media junkies. So maybe the Chef and his handlers are both feeling their way through this novelty. But if it is not maskirovka, he needs to be carted off and given about 30 years of R&R to recover the residual useful wits that survived being shellshocked into ricocheting grey goo.
I feel for Jorge Vilches, he’s in denial about Guidestones planning for Germany/Poland/USA.. a rational gentleman of a bygone era… and now haranguing MH who very much understands what “US middle classes will put up with..” It is not only financial perspective but historical and personal understanding.. Is there any New Yorker over 4 years of age who doesn’t get the seediness and heart of darkness potential in all men?? I lived 20+ years in USA too. It’s a broken society. Most of its best cities rotting. Standards of living fallen. Most now on several drugs to cope – either the illegal and/or prescribed variety, alcohol, online digital porn, etc… The shred of legitimacy of politics and politicians lost with the stolen election of 2020 (even for Dems in their heart of hearts!) Did any revolt when told to muzzle up, stayed locked up at home, shop at approved online company shops, vaxx up, etc etc?? The remaining consideration is the next square meal or paying rent. Most of the luxuries and ways of “middle class” were smothered by the time of Obama’s misrule! Like Zelensky’s clique currently partying in Kiev, or Hitler’s inner circle in March 1945 Berlin, the US middle-class gorged on consuming based on debt in the last fling of their lives – everything maxed beyond ability to repay like their gov.
Even the lower classes know the score. I had a working-class veteran patient visit me in a southern clinic about 15 years ago – when he learned of where I came from, he had such deep shame in his eyes I will never forget, quickly looking away from me. He even apologized, knowing the crimes they’d committed and what his way of life was based on. There appears to be a deep foreboding among many Americans of all classes, that a reckoning is coming. Already stripped of dignity and self-respect, livable wages or single-breadwinner income, security in many cities, future prospects, – what is to be ripped of bank savings??? Like the crazies currently ramming themselves against the Bear, their citizens may not be averse at all to seeing the end of it all too. In fact I suspect most will accept the coming digital gulag of CBDC precisely because it offers a “get out of jail card” from debt and current unsustainable predicament..

I did aspire to be a beatnik… maybe I managed, our digs are almost classical beat, right down to guitar and the VD poster from Berkeley back in the day. Not quite Pia Zadora’s beat pad in Hairspray though. Got a “Ruski Soldat” Bear wearing Ushanka and Saint George ribbon, a Soviet ruksack (with star) and a plastic ppsh41 tommygun…even the bikes are beat sorta bikes. Soviet flag draped over little Ivan. Sehr camp.
Evidently (as we’ve previously spoken of> “Moscow is preparing to launch the procedure for returning Alaska,” – Vyacheslav Volodin said.” (at g-chronicle too)
“…There appears to be a deep foreboding among many Americans of all classes, that a reckoning is coming….” This was, I’m pretty sure, seen on the horizon even before VE and VJ day…the American Blacks coming home from the war were going to demand full civil rights, and many intellectuals of the American Left understood that if this necessity was not satisfied then there would follow strife and dissolution, drift by degrees into a fascist tyranny. As a child I overheard such discussions. Of course the “nationality issues” (as the Soviets used to say) were cynically and deliberately used to profit the very few and divide everyone against his brothers. The matter of course went forth to every group, shade, or identifiable quality…against commies and against intellectuals, and on. Naturally everyone knows know that there’s the Devil to pay. People joke about how it might be just fine if those Commies nuked DC. They may get to see that.
I’ve spoken before about the spooky action echos from the future. Perhaps that’s not delusional, dunno.
Happier note (pun!) Connie Converse https://archive.ph/3iUYP There’s link in the article to her some of her old songs… A mysterious girl…
Anoxia has several features that sustain it fairly well under strain…rail and river and soil and farms and orchards, sawmills and grazing spaces, a common confession, and a homogeneous population…if left alone. These “hicks” mostly know how to do things. If left alone. They have nutty ideas…but the basics are there, they are kind people, I get invited to church frequently…I may start visiting them to hear the sermons. I wish they published though. There’s a story about the Quaker who attended a Methodist preacher’s sermon> After a few minutes he stood up and said “Preacher that’s a lie!” I try to stifle myself…

Keymasterconsistent with shrinking prospects, mounting catastrophes and accordingly timelines converging on the Event Horizon – “Russia’s FSB thwarts Ukrainian drone attack on airfield in Ivanovo Region.” Note the targets: A-50 early warning and control aircraft, as astounding and reckless as when similar were targeted and reportedly hit in Belarus, or the White Swans nest at Engels airbase. These are not subtle moves to attrite strategic weapons operations platforms ‘afore the Big Dance…

This is yet another telegraph’d signal. Bellum vita gentis et ducis hoc debet ostendere…so to say. The people must see that they are all at war with the fascists and nazi rats.

KeymasterTo review a sample of what seasoned Medvedev’s words above…
After keeping a low profile in last weeks, on hallowed Victory Day, the German Chancellor scurried out from under a rock (1) to denounce its military parade being held in Moscow, (2) and to urge the EU to prop up NAZI Kiev for as long as necessary.
Living in these days is discombobulating! Have we ended up in a worm hole taking us back in time as bit characters straight into the realm of Greek satire? After the Chef, we have this stuffing: a man hired to preserve the world peace “declares Ukraine peace talks now impossible.” The League of Nations had more dignity, purpose, and right to exist. This is so beyond Tragedy…. pray brothers and sisters, pray!

it is a beautiful bitter-sweet poem :How sad, how lovely,
how short, how sweet,
to see that sunset
at the end of the street.And the day gathered in
to a single light,
and the shadows rising
from the brim of the night.Too few, too few
are the days that will hold
your face, your face
in a blaze of gold.How sad, how lovely,
how short, how sweet,
to see that sunset
at the end of the street.And the lights going on
in the shops and the bars,
and the lovers looking
for the first little stars.Like life, like a smile,
like the fall of a leaf,
how sad, how lovely,
how brief. -

ParticipantSome time ago I watched a clip of Howard Zinn telling a story about his awakening in W2, he was an officer-bombardier. He said that a tail or waist gunner and he were chatting, and Zinn remarked that they were fighting nazis and fascism. The gunner disagreed. He said they were fighting for imperialism. How about that. Rather a shattering of delusion.
Evidently Klaus Fuchs thought so too. And that war continues…
I note that in US media they speak of Ruskie parade celebrating defeat of Germany, not of nazis and not of fascism. A bit of a tell, that. Eh?

****Perhaps you would know about this learned Viet-American and recently “canceled” author Linh Dinh, he writes the most interesting articles in his Substack :
“A key engineer of the mass slaughter of Slavs in Ukraine is Victoria Nuland. Her paternal grandfather was Meyer Nudelman of Odessa, Ukraine.
John Kerry claimed he didn’t know his original surname was Kohn. Haaretz, “The new nominee for secretary of state only found out about his Jewish grandfather while running in the 2004 presidential election.” Sure, and Kerry is also a man of peace.
An anomaly, the US was not a nation founded on race, but ideals. Since those have been thoroughly defecated on by every American politician in recent memory, the US is effectively dead. Serving Israel, America has systematically betrayed itself, so there’s nothing left but division, acrimony and cowardice. Increasingly uncivil, the US will surpass even South Africa in lethal daily disorder.
So divided, the US should partition itself into six, seven or eight chunks, so Woke Socialists can have California, for example, with Bernie Sanders or Amy Goodman as president. Ron Unz can rule an Angry White Pussy Republic encompassing Wyoming, Idaho and eastern Washington. Noam Chomsky as corpse can be president for life of New England. Emigrating to New York City, Yuval Noah Harari and his husband can co-rule that metropolis, now renamed Transhumania.”

Anoxia is located in Jefferson. https://www.hcn.org/issues/50.1/communities-rural-discontent-finds-a-home-in-the-state-of-jefferson
If the people of Jefferson knew more about matters, they’d probably vote to join Russia by referendum, or more reasonably, trade agreements and recognition of Sovereignty.
Sometimes a lot happens very fast, sometimes not.
R H Dana said that Rus had a station at Long Beach (Los Angeles port now) I imagine that’s an over-reach, but one never knows…
……………….But I want to tell a story about a fella I never got to meet.I dated one of his daughters in the 1960’s and she told this story> 1942 US fellas enlisted, but not her dad. Soon came the draft, he refused, no fight imperialist war! There were many other fellas felt the same, she said. In mountains there were old CCC camps, and the US put the refusniks in remote camp, poorly guarded. They brewed hooch and grew marijuana…all through the war. Her dad was major instigator of this mild rebellion, and everybody knew him as “The Big Apple”, since he was a Communist from New York… She was a Commie from Los Angeles, and beautiful, like her sisters, and her mother.
The story is imho, true. And it was an undoing of the myths…

See> collection https://archive.org/details/pub_popular-mechanics
I read most of these issues as the consequence of a Church paper-drive (in US used newsprint was a market, back when the industrial base existed). I rescued most of the collection, and read every page, many times in some matters)
From 1940> https://archive.org/details/PopularMechanics1940/Popular_Mechanics_01_1940/
As I recall you’ll see stories about the Brave Soviet Army and Airmen, and so forth. Also an undertow of cryptofascist clues about what was to come after…
I remember too…a bragging about the addition of cadmium to incendiary bomblets, phosphorus mostly, such that the cadmium vapors would ruin the lungs of the firemen…I think that was a Brit gag…but yaneverknow. Chemical war? Yewbetcha.
……….
Despite the emotion and vulgar language Brother Hal displayed yesterday evening, he did interest me with the claims of nukesniffer aircraft ostensibly searching for Poseidon machine. His opinion of Comrade Putin’s face…? (weight of world) Well, yes, but if you watch the entire parade film he also smiles a few times. Nevertheless it seems that the die has been cast, and the war-period we may come to see as “skirmish” has ended. Of course he was misinformed about the USSR never being at war with Japan! Poor sod. Especially since that war has yet to end.
………………………
In Anoxia, At Stumpy’s Grocery> Some dope addled women held up the queue, and we began to chat… I mentioned the Alaska bit…and the bigbigplan to denazificate and demilitarize, and the Hawaii Kingdom bit. Fort Ross and the Russian River… There gathered a small cluster of discussion. Having salted the scene, I lapsed to listen. They came to agreement! It reduced to the consensus that it would very jolly if the Ruskies rid the US of the criminal gang. Anoxia is a “military town”. How about that.

KeymasterYeah I saw it on Smoothie’s latest video. Political cartoons if done right, can be extremely revelatory and revolutionary. They strip to the nitty gritty better than a photo.. And cost many an artist his life..
For every generation it was different – what woke them to the rank injustices devouring our world. For some maybe Mother’s words or Guthrie and another singer? Others war experiences, others a movie, a poem or “fiction,” a personal experience, etc… Truth will always be in sight, waiting to be picked up like a patient unwanted orphan-child..
For me it was perhaps the cartoons of Naji Al-Ali (shown by a Palestinian friend in Boston? Or Eritrean, I forget) I saw as a kid. He was killed in London given his impact and relentlessness. A year after his death, the International Federation of Newspaper Publishers posthumously awarded him the Golden Pen Award and described him as “one of the best cartoonists since the 18th century.”
I’ve followed websites hosting his cartoons since ~ 1996 – so many were scrubbed and cancelled! But they always came back in new form.. Such a dangerous man to TPTB. A single cartoon can awaken a consuming self-absorbed and ahistorical zombie to the true Reality around him/her.
I first learned contempt for the compradore elites, especially the hypocrital Oil-Sheikhs, through his art.. It is the ancient principle since eons – Empire only succeeds so far from its Pirate base through complicit local elites, without exception the worst in creation.

May 10, 2023 at 17:31 #13688
Mr P
ParticipantOh! Those are wonderful drawings! I shall follow the links. I had not heard of Naji al-Ali previously.
Once or twice I’ve done political cartoons that got published in newsprint, but not for many years. And I had an older friend from Lebanon. He set our little circle straight about Palestine and the war there, the genocide, or civil war. He was a neighbor of N Booth.
Comprador class…yes. As you know, Herodotus presents a very polite version of the methods of tutoring the young of that class. Longtimeago I punched the time-clock at a iron foundry. There were about 112 hourly fellas, it was brutal physical labor with iron pours all going, thundering noise, and more than 12 hour days. It was a union shop, but the pay was quite low. I was the only white fella. That was an awakening. OSHA was on the horizon. But safety was not a material policy concern. It disgusts me to have men and women (and some nuts!) who have never done hard labor tell us how to live and what to do. Another fella… As a young man I worked the wheat harvest for custom cutters, and one fella from Texas – he’d been in the marines in the pacific, a lot of combat – “Mr M” was, shall we say, highly critical and outspoken…running a crew at 65 years old, all the way to Canada. Good man. He’d be called “right wing” and worse now, but in reality he was simply contemptuous of the rich and their finks, rather more a socialist, in a way, I think now.
Guthrie…he had a line I thought special> “…four foot cop with a five foot gun…” Says a lot about cops’ attitudes. Or the neoconz… Did you know that Upton Sinclair ran for governor on the socialist ballot in California? He almost won, too, but for a massive propaganda campaign and Hollywood studios and so on. At the same time there was an outpost of the KKK in Los Angeles… But the school curriculum was, in the 50’s, really very decent, anyway, Guthrie was in the music classes, and singing. I first read a biography of Lenin in an elementary school library. It was, btw, both favorable and infectious…it stayed with me. Since then alas, standards…
………
At Telegram this was found..a series of quotations and attributions. I have no idea as to the accuracy, some are outrageous. It was on the “prohibited at Saker” guy’s whatever.

EVERYONE MUST KNOW!!! WHO AND WHY WE FIGHT!!! TRANSLATE AND REPOST!!!
Make no mistake, the West has always been open about its genocide dreams and today have moved to action.
H Kissinger, following the collapse of Soviet Union: “Chaos and civil war in Russia must be preferred before allowing Russia re-unification into one, strong, centralised state.”
J Major, Brit PM, following the collapse of Soviet Union: “The role of Russia after the Cold War defeat is to provide resources to prospering nations. For that they only need a few million people.”
M Thatcher, Brit PM, following the collapse of Soviet Union: “It’s economically justified to
leave 15 million people on the territory of Russia, who will serve in extracting gas and
crude, and potentially in mines as slaves.”B Clinton, USA president and butcher of Yugoslavia, Feb 1992: “The aim of NATO is to place its powers in regions of ethnical conflicts and border disputes from Atlantic to the Urals.”
B Clinton, USA president and butcher of Yugoslavia, 1997: “We spent many billions in putting Yeltsin in power but it’s paid us back many more times than expected. We destroyed our political opponent, removed Russia from world politics, and for negligible price siezed from Russia 20000 tons of copper, 15000 tons of aluminium, 2000 tons of cesium, beryllium, stroncium and many other resources. Our profit for putting Yeltsin in power was more than 5700%, which is unprecedented in history.”
Z Brzezinsky, USA genocide architect: “The smaller the population on Russian territory, the more successful will be its development per West plan.” “Slovans, Russians, Belurussians, Ukrainians, are the most resilient people in the world. It’s possible to destroy them but not conquer them. Therefore it’s necessary to definitively liquidate this seed.” “Hitler was dumb, he did everything overtly. We won’t leave any traces.”
G Soros, NWO architect: “We need Ukraine as a torpedo in a war against Russia. The fate of the country’s people doesn’t concern us.”

“four foot cop with a five foot gun” Lol! Says it all. Reminds of some southern guys. I loved to watch them climbing down 7-foot tall pickups on steroids and they were 5 foot tall and 5.5 feet wide..
Well Mr Texas’ TG post may actually apply to CONUS in a few years. Boomerangs N all.. unintended consequences (or planned Deagle?) Again, I always return to the words of Nazi Bankster Prescott’s son’s words – “If they knew what we’d done, they’d hang us.” IMHO enough knew in 1990s and still permitted them to share our oxygen. CAF is not the only sharp lady who drew lessons by late 1990s that genocide and depopulation was being rolled out to the USA middle class (they’d proven a stubborn lot though! Tough SOBs to put away!). The silent majority……
Talk about the Chef becoming a total Fruit-Loops crazy when mercouris is reduced to considering him either a Liar or lab-concocted madman like Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde… hmmm. Maybe Robert Louis Stevenson was onto something. Those Victorians were cooking up the good stuff in the lab! It turned certain penis-piano-playing-punks into heaving-harrumphing-hardy-Hitlerites! When the book came out in 1886 wasn’t it during the golden age of Chemistry?? So many mind-altering substances to be auto-tested and involuntarily beta-tested

Flotsam from the Maelstrom – “Appearances are deceptive” (not moon-related!)
(1) A day after the heart-warming CIS presidents’ lineup @ Moscow parade.. “Armenia and Azerbaijan accuse each other of border shelling” When will comprador elites learn to fully cut adrift from the West and to settle border issues before being embroiled in endless war?? A perceptive commentator: “Going to Brussels to seek peace !!! That is like going to hell to look for a fire extinguisher”
(2) Canadian vs US Heinz Ketchup I submit the Canadian brand may have the same goop, just creatively rewritten?? Many companies caught mislabeling (falsely organic, wrong ingredients, wrong proportions, etc) over the years. And isn’t Canada, like rest of smaller Five Eyes, a testing/dumping ground?? Nevertheless, the title of this short video is what drew me… do the plebs sense they may be targets??? Oh boy.

A bohemian and cynical, and vaguely heretical act, reminding that the entire routine is humanity welcoming Spring and rebirth, and ignoring the commercial cant of americandecadentxmasswhatevers.
Previously a freepress “radical” old left paper published by a professor I knew asked me for cartoons, and I drew a few, 30 years ago…about the time they rigged the Oklahoma gag.
I don’t know how to post images… Guess I could mail them, or learn how to post properly. Mrs P has great facility with the ‘putermachines. I am sure she has all the Phil images. But I haven’t drawn anything but technical stuff for over a year. Like Heinlein said, if you can draw it you know how to build it, or some such. I’ll see if I can find the Phil-shadow “issue”. It, at least, is “political”.

Extracts from the article by Dmitry Orekhov :“Having declared Hitler’s fascism as exceptional, the most terrible phenomenon in the world, we stopped tearing fascism from its root – colonialism, and have lost the understanding of events taking place in the world and have ceased to keep the enemy in focus.”
“Fascism has long been a sign of India under the name of imperialism,” wrote Jawaharlal Nehru, who constantly emphasized that India’s struggle for freedom was part of the world struggle against fascism and imperialism.
Sartre wrote that “Republicans in France are fascists in Algeria”. The philosopher pointed out that “colonialism infects young Frenchmen with racism and makes them die in the name of Nazi principles” (the very ones against which the French Resistance fought) and called for helping fascism to die – “wherever it exists.”
Now the neo-colonial racist West, led by Biden, is implementing Hitler’s old plan in Ukraine, according to which Ukrainians are promised glass beads, and Russians – death. Seeing this is annoying. It was much more comfortable to think that we, together with the enlightened peoples, had coped with the exceptional haze of German fascism. But this was a false idea, and it led us to the abyss. Insight gives us a chance that the blind did not have.

Keymastersehr gut, danke! You have an eye, and in color too.
The thing about political cartoons, it can be absolutely benign and meaningless to censors and most, but incendiary and even revolutionary to partisans with a jaundiced eye aware of current context and trends..
For example, even though drawn two years before SMO, seared into my interpretation of this toon: (1) the fellow is hiding in ratshole or bunker and (2) it has same 2222 numbers (VVP made his famous speech on Feb 2 2022, mere hours before SMO itself was launched). ‘Tis the season of comeuppance, or retribution, and hunting of nazis and all it implies of mineshafts! We really live on other side of a divide in time and sensibilities
And the shape immediately drew the eye — like a human lung. Even the rungs of the ladder redolent of the ascending windpipe trachea… And it is hard to breathe down in a hole! Especially with your air intake and exits sealed from the outside with hypersonics and whatnot, lol

ParticipantJust a thought, not particularly new. Assuming that the imperial thalassocratic manifestation of the bellicose people of the European peninsula and it’s archipelagoes is a “civilization” – and it does have civilizational aspects – what then is the central quality or defining character? To what urge does it submit itself?
Recalling the two little fellas, well three or four if we count Winston And Harry, do these men represent an expression of character…and let us not forget Hawaii or the Mexican war… if so shall we not remeber the core of English is Germanic…and since we have to-day yet another exotic manifestation display, shall we not claim ” dringen in, drang nach, drang” (penetrate into, the urge to, urge)
Is “drangen” the core quality of the Anglosaxon period? Maybe the core is revealed as the civilization decays. Perhaps the contradictions feed the wolf aspect and it grew.
Not particularly new, I mean the little fella with the campy mustache said it first, but he was under orders and acting as agent of the pirate cryptonazi bosses, was he not?

KeymasterI still follow Jeffrey Kaye, who Mr P made me aware of some years ago. What follows is not salon’ish and it is not hearty.
There is a new report on the torture at Guantanamo Bay, and it is heartbreaking and exceedingly horrible. But I am glad it is out if anyone can actually stomach it, which I must admit, I peeped at it but scrolled very fast past the sketches and really did not read too many of the descriptions. There comes a time when one flips beyond outrage and finds sheer cognitive dissonance in an inability to even understand this new fresh hell. Of course, this was killed dead inside of the US. First, there was discussion and it was then nicely overwritten by something else. I remember so clearly Trump saying that he does not think waterboarding is really so bad.
Jeffrey Kaye has it on this tweet, https://twitter.com/jeff_kaye/status/1656736099430182912 and he has some more tweets about it, but the real McCoy is the report which you can download from the link in the tweet, or just open in your browser.

These terrible crimes erase any suggestion that the nazi pogrom is anything but nazi, or anything but a pogrom – and must strengthen the resolve of those who are determined to eliminate the criminal gang… Recalling the Forest Gump method of knowing nazis, nazi is as nazi does.

Happy note, I found a fair paper copy of Phil and Putin’s shadow… When Mrs P gets to it and the scan-o-tron does its work…
Take Heart Dear Lady, all these crimes only ram home the necessity of their correction, and further align the vast peoples in a collective outrage that grows. And alienate the classes that, for now, serve the monsters.

It isn’t just sex slavery, organs, adrenochrome or satanic-harvesting, or even trite deviance, it is the same phenomenon afflicting most humans worldwide: contrived debt-bondage. There’s a visceral need to profit from the misery of Others.

Flotsam from the Maelstrom – “How to shoot oneself in the Head”
(1) Renault’s March 2022 withdrawal from its second-biggest market in Russia continues to be a blood-gushing wound.
➡️ the sheer self-defeating senselessness of it all: “over 2 million cars have been sold in 20 years at the country’s more than 150 dealerships”
➡️ “Russian car dealerships are seeking 8.5 billion rubles ($110 million) in compensation from Renault due to losses.. this was the second attempt to reach an agreement on compensation in a pre-trial order.. If the sides fail to reach an agreement, the dealers are prepared to take the case to court, which would result in reputational costs for Renault and difficulties for the brand to eventually return to Russia, the association warned..”
➡️ “Renault’s assets were later transferred to Russian state ownership”
➡️ Meanwhile, in November 2022 (seven months after it left, anticipating permanent abandonment), “Russia launched production of an updated version of the iconic Soviet-era car brand Moskvich at the former Renault plant in Moscow.”(2) The moment when you realize someone really wants to suicide Perfide Albion…
(3) Open borders:A South African émigré to USA sees déjà vu: the same slow-grind (anaconda-like constriction) to insecurity and collapse. I disagree as no two collapses are the same. And USA is huge! The bigger they are, the harder they fall. And did S.A. face current perfect storm of dedollarization, expeditionary war losses, banking collapse, inflation, high prices, food insecurity, etc etc?? So while there are parallels, Hemingway’s observation of “gradually, then suddenly” may be more realistic.

ParticipantThe “USA/blood” cartoon is vaguely similar to one I drew, the rendering machine cooking away all the good, in the Contract on America touted by the Newtster G. Only vaguely though.
Yes, whatever Harry imagined, he was a stooge, so was the fella with the funny mustache. It’s said that Harry was mildly corrupt, by the standards of his time. His ambition overcame him…he aspired to the presidency from adolescence, according to his biographies. They say he carried Bess and Maggie on his office payroll. But there must be a bit more. (Mother voted for Wallace).

Participantan addendum…the perhaps mysterious fella G Duff has penned a paper that may well be substantially true. “Wilful Ignorance has…” https://archive.ph/PlrY5

KeymasterHmmm! For almost three decades I thought that was oil, but is it blood? Naji was depicting a bullet-ridden oil barrel, the squandered treasure of the ignorant oil-sheikhs, as millions of his fellow Palestinians rotted in refugee camps around occupied Palestine. The barrel is against a background of Unholy Israel, with the oil flowing back in accusation to its sponsor Uncle Slaughter? But isnt the Petrodollar a type of blood money too? The lubricant of the most unparalleled mass human oppression in History? One so diabolical it generates the funding for their own oppression from the oppressed.
Truman was such a lost opportunity! Imagine if the impetus of the New Deal, UN, harry dexter White’s Bretton Woods, sincere defanging of Old Europe’s colonies, etc. had been undertaken under FDR or a nonstooge successor.. He was so inadequate to needs of the time. But necessary if “the Bomb was for Russia.”
Yes there’s escalation against Ruskie. Hal says most of the aircraft were downed by sabotage teams within Russia proper, close to Ukie border? As most civilian car accidents tend to happen close to home, when our guard is down in the homestretch.. wouldn’t pilots relax once over home territory approaching their base? The last mile in this global SMO will be cruel

KeymasterOn new Daily Chronicles post now:
“From the Russian MoD
◽️On 12 May at around 6.30pm Moscow time, AFU Air Force combat aircraft launched a missile attack on … using Storm Shadow missiles supplied to the Kiev regime by the UK“This is disturbing on so many levels. They are in a real hurry!! To finish torching Europe, including the UK, so can either get on with the big dance, or to swivel to China completely. With the financial ponzi house in escalating disintegration, they simply lack the time for more measured moves.
No nation, even observing the deepest inner daoist calm can maintain such focus and not retaliate. They are counting on either retaliation, which ends peace throughout european peninsula, or internal Russian implosion as their population and segments of elite cannot tolerate inaction to such repeating rank provocation. So they will keep poking poking poking until they obtain the counter-escalation they desperately seek. All it takes is one party to tango into the wider war.
I repeat from above, someone wants to suicide the UK!

ParticipantBoth oil and blood, I suppose, we’ll have to ask when we see him. I assume he’s a teetotaler so we”ll have to drink tea. “Easy on the ice Stumpy…” Note that both fluids are organic and of the soil. Interchangeable sometimes, as when Red Army went to Berlin. Pricey soil!
In the “relax on the way home”… On motorcycle one of the rather steep parts of learning curve is to never relax attention. Keep tight “anus” every moment – think!… same in target shooting, fellas can dot 9 consecutive “ten X” (the X ring at 100 meters is about 15 mm, most everybody shoots a ten, or a 99 score, but it’s the X rings that decide..and the natural dao is to blow the 10th shot. One must stay engaged 100%, and “be the bullet”, as though it was guided by the mind. (I last shot in competition in ’67, I think, and “took” a national match in 4 position smallbore at a variety of distances). Years past my son had a rough time “going over the high side” in the mountains…flew off into the canyon in a careless moment and was lucky enough to land in a pine tree. He got banged up and learned to stay in the next moment. Missed death by a thread. I had similar lessons. Pay attention to the little man on your shoulder, always and continuously. Jay Leno probably ought to stop riding…he’s no longer listening… lit himself on fire. then went out on exquisite antique bike and crashed it rather stupidly… That’s not learning, it’s forgetting.
see> https://t.me/s/DDGeopolitics (detail on smashed flying machines) They say air to air. Trap. Ambush. Maybe.
“The Russian “Kommersant” writes, citing sources, the details of today’s downing of two helicopters and planes in the Bryansk region.
Kommersant writes that 4 aircraft could be shot down “almost simultaneously” near the border with Ukraine.
Both planes and helicopters “were part of the same air group.”
This group was a Su-34 fighter-bomber, a Su-35 fighter, as well as two Mi-8 helicopters.
The crews of the aircraft were killed, and “they are looking for the attackers on the ground and in the air.”
The tasks of aircraft and helicopters are also described:
“The fighters were supposed to deliver a missile and bomb attack on targets in the Chernigov region of Ukraine, and the helicopters were supposed to insure them, in order to pick up the Su crews if they were shot down by enemy fire. All four aircraft did not return to the airfield,” the article says. .
Experts of the publication say that planes and helicopters “most likely fell into an air ambush” and were shot down by air-to-air missiles.” (machine translation). The video I saw did not seem to show a missile vaportrail, but there were clouds nearby… The nazis may expect to get away with it, but they ought to expect a splendid reply. Possible not in 404.
I note that when the lawfare “sanctions” fail, the double down would be to hijack the ships, or even sink them. That, of course, has already taken a few small steps.
Hope everyone enjoys the Soviet posters..Zhitomirsky an all that.

KeymasterI got to thinking about the crafting of Beautiful Narratives – whether JFK’s Camelot, in Pakistan, William “Windsor”, etc. This is an old game, to emotionally connect a yearning folk despairing of seedy systems to “the dashing incorruptible new young Leader.” And then to either put a bullet in his brain-pan or dismantle him, humiliate him, imprison him, etc.. maybe just string him along, and make him irrelevant. It so demoralizes a folk!
Makes them putty and dumbed-down oxen with golden chains hooked to their nostrils, easily steered back to the same hellhole or wherever one choses. Did most Americans, on either side of the Uniparty, recover from the Dealey Plaza of 1963?? Really ever trust the System again?
It always worked. It doesn’t matter whether the Sacrifice is willing, controlled opposition, or sincere useful idiot. The shaped outcome is the same. As the energy is sucked out during the Fall of the New Shining Leader, other plans are quietly in motion, like Israel demolishing homes and squatting into more homes or raping Palestine a little more every time a False Flag or a major incident grabs the global spotlight. (How many of these FFs were created to help the Occupation consolidate?)
The Fall of the Leader permits crafting of new-old timelines into the nth generation. Terrible plans. Control is imperceptibly (or savagely!) centralized. The New fully vanquished, with paths rerouted back to the ancient Parasitism.. The Ship of State steams unhurriedly into the clear amber sunset.
I think the old civilizational-states are onto these sordid tricks by now. They did not bat an eye at what happened to Imran Khan. They focused on his system.
If Pakistan is to have a future, their entire sclerotic paradigm must demonstrate change. Not one sock-puppet replacing another. No commitments will be forthcoming henceforth to a single man so easily taken out.. China alone invested $65 Billion into little Pakistan! Hasn’t Türkiye been similarly “insured” with layers of connectivity – from gas hub, nuclear PP, tourism, agriculture, construction, armaments — the two economies are becoming as symbiotic as USA-China and as catastrophic to decouple.
So at this point, after centuries of disappointment, and sabotage, only systems will be trusted and held accountable.
And that is the beautiful conundrum the crazies have in Russia. It moved on beyond Putin, and the Big Man complex, and I suspect long ago. Siloviki algorithms must have anticipated and accounted for decapitation. There is no response to such depth and systemic resiliency. While we were waiting for his Successor, another Unique Worthy Man, the SMO served as the crucible birthing an official deep new system, finally free of Atlanticist detritus, yet separate from either Tzarist or Commie elite past. Woe to the West! Where to get a hook into such novelty??
And that appears the only hope of overcoming what faces all countries from the comprehensively satanic West. Commitment to a new World System, sans the West, from a compassionate yet ruthlessly resilient nomenklatura demonstrating stewardship. Eggs will be broken…
For Siljan & Jazz lovers
