And there is a little hope. Thank you! The rediscovery of one another as tribe.

On Mexico .. that clip of the guy that slobbered all over Claudia Sheinbaum made the rounds OK.

She is cool. Visitors to the Zócalo in the mornings during her Mañanera are searched before they get in, and she is very popular. Her risk is small. The previous president, AMLO flew in normal aircraft and used normal airports. Of course they have security, but it is advance security. And she, and AMLO had their times in the streets and she is a street fighter.

She filed charges against the amorous fellow and said he was completely drunk. He apparently drunkenly confessed that he is so in love with her.

Claudia Sheinbaum stated that she decided to file a complaint because this issue concerns not only her personally but all women in the country. Her popularity rate rises once again.

There is media that President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria is going to have a meeting with Trump. Please bear in mind that Tinubu was the Chair of ECOWAS, who was (and still is) in stark opposition to the Sahel States. He is a US puppet hiding neo-colonialism.

This is the deal but partially:

Nigeria’s Dangote Eyes Expansion to Rival the World’s Largest Refinery

🇳🇬🛢 The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced plans to nearly double its capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day, positioning it to become the largest refinery in the world, surpassing India’s Jamnagar Refinery.

Aliko Dangote, president of Dangote Group, revealed the expansion in Lagos, stating it will significantly increase production of polypropylene and other key petrochemicals.

“[Supportive government] policies are driving a revolution in Nigeria’s downstream sector, promoting domestic refining and export of finished petroleum products,” Dangote said.

👉 The project is expected to save Nigeria billions in foreign exchange, create 65,000 construction jobs, and strengthen national energy security, according to Dangote.

The expanded facility will also meet stringent Euro VI environmental standards and maintain a workforce that is over 85% Nigerian, he added.

…

Dangote is the wealthiest family in Africa, and they will play with the highest bidder. I’m afraid this is a sneaky attack on the Sahel.

Nigeria has a big border with Niger, who is arguably the weakest member of the Alliance of the Sahel States and the region that is most attacked by Wahabi-Takfiri types.

Don’t know what you think AHH but I think this has a double cover .. the first one stated – Christians and the second one a direct line to the Sahel States – and then of course, if there is oil, why not.

The Charlie Kirk story .. more the Erika Kirk story continues.  Lady wants to be first Lady, and she is cuddling into Vance .. the way that one cuddles .. ya’know.

Chat with a friend …

Just happened to find the photos again.  OK; I won’t even hug my cousin like this.   I won’t hug my brother like this.  An adult woman does not hug a married man like this.  Men don’t take a hug like this.  I mean … you hug differently.  You cover for your stuff!  Yout hands are in different places.  You don’t put your hands into the hair of the one you hug – that’s love making.  You don’t put your hands on the hips of the one that you are hugging.  That is pulling the lower body into yours.  You don’t stick your boobs into the chest of the one that you hug.  Erogenous Zones R’Us.  I seldom pay attention to stuff like this, but this screams.  Lady wants to be First Lady.

Vance was babbling about hoping his wife would become a Christian.  Uhm ….

Given that the stuff coming to me is that Trump has had a very serious setback with the Xi Jinping talks .. well, I think the various factions are setting up – smelling blood in the water.

Yeah. Nothing to say. He has said it all. The beast shows itself with clarity.

4th Strongest storm in history. I saw it turn, and it lost a little force. It made a sharp right. NOAA is talking about ‘total structural failure’. We will see what is left of Jamaica.

A certain fleet will be fine. They went south and are bombing boats on the other coast. Already days ago they locked up Guantamo and battened hatches.

I don’t know. I don’t know whether I should say this, or not. It has been a few months.

I love Africa, but I am not a resident or a citizen of any place any longer. I cry, then I laugh, then I think of a few years ago when my husband marched up to me and said, “I’m going to burn my passport!” He was American and I, really shocked said .. “WWwww a i t, You mean Immediately Now? Well, let’s just talk for a moment. No Dammit – that is part of you! You are not part it, and keep your darn passport as we will need it soon! Or at least, get another one first. I’m not used to you not being absolutely practical. Let’s go buy a flag and barbecue it!” At which stage he said … On my barbecue? Never!

The reason is simple. I cannot live with what the current African governments are doing and have done for 30 years since Mandela died, or since Thomas Sankara or since any of the African Greats. And I cannot live with what is supposed to be ‘my people’. They are entirely Western-influenced and mostly zionist to boot, even if they don’t recognize that.

So, I cry, and then I laugh and then I repeat all the Spanish cusswords that I know.

They call Trump a bitch. I cannot convince them that it is pendejo. Shhhh .. don’t say that in front of the Children! Down here, Trump is a bitch, in front of the children too! That is his name. When I came in to our very small block of apartments with my brand-new paperwork and everyone relaxing on the porch, the shout was Tequila! Tequila. And they jumped around and danced and I followed and jumped around and danced and shouted Tequila!

So now the bitch wants to shoot the LAC.

So, let me cry, and mourn, and shout Tequila and dance and say Bitch in front of the children!

The stuff about calling the Mozambique channel a choke point is blowing smoke and is a joke. A choke point means one has to go through there to get where you want to get. Choke points are bounded by hard land or mountains or something. For this Mozambique channel, which is really short, you go oceanside. You don’t have to go through there so their ain’t no choke.

I want to tell you about China’s ‘transparent ocean’ which is a defense strategy. I can only post snippets as it is highly copyrighted and protected information. If Russia obtains a military base in the broad area, they will slot in with that. It is a cross-domain maritime network that spans space, air, shore, surface, and subsea platforms to support situational awareness and environmental monitoring. Ocean University of China reported building the first Kuroshio Extension observation system, a chain of anchored moorings and repeat stations complemented by a roaming layer that keeps watch on one of the Western Pacific’s busiest water highways.

With this, China owns the first ocean chain defensively as they can missile almost by rote. I am not sure about the 2nd island chain. Russia will slot in here. Does China want to extend this ‘transparent ocean’ to the African coast? It is a stretch of the imagination to think they will choose Madagascar. (Forget about the oodles of fresh food. The area produces generally a tropical style crop and how long are the seamen going to live on sweet yams and good vanilla, with a coconut cooked fish throw in?

Mozambique is trying to shift to major rice production and struggling. South Africa does not have enough wheat for itself Meat? where is it? Where are the production facilities?)

Transparent ocean Self-healing – it will soon come clear that the basis has shifted and thinking about one island on the African coast is not any longer sufficient. It can be by definition a node on the web and no more.

In an influential primer, “From Kill Chain to Kill Web,” PLA theorists warn that a traditional, linear “kill chain” collapses when a single node is destroyed. Their response is the “maritime adaptive kill web,” a resilient, mesh-style network that offers multiple paths from sensor to shooter and promises instant bypasses for any node failures.

A mature Transparent Ocean system is designed to automate this flow at scale. For instance, a Dalian Naval Academy study demonstrated a space-guided sea strike model that can compute 45 alternative paths and rank them by strike power and closure time. A PLA team developed an algorithm that reassembles broken chains by matching surviving nodes to the next‑best route. This ability to instantly reroute broken kill paths, a measurable metric for the PLA, is key to keeping the web fighting under fire.

This concept has moved quickly from the lab to the ocean, with a number of building blocks in the Transparent Ocean blueprint coming to fruition over the last decade. It also shows the sea-bed side of civil-military fusion efforts.”

Anyway, later. We gotto start thinking differently. The systems are much bigger than an island off the African coast. They are now netted and webbed. It is here that we have to listen to Smoothie with his conceptual net-centric warfare. (He has himself in trouble again, this time with the Africans, so, keep to war and weapons. He is also I think and this is not said critically, not up to date with Chinese thinking.). If I think about it, and Russia does want a base on the Eastern African coast, they might want to slot into China’s transparent ocean network for the second defensive island chain, but most probably not as a single node on a lonely island. At this stage Mozambique itself is really not BRICS or SCO or anything like that. China is helping out with road building and airport building and they’ve had to take certain installations back to manage themselves because of the incessant theft.
