A note on Ritter(Ripper).
Using a similar situation and I don’t like the man and I don’t trust him. I will accept technical explanations should they read true and should they bear out to the reality. His stories leave me cold as his stories serve only Scott. His tone, his politics, his attiude .. that can fall by the wayside and I’m not interested.
Let’s just do a comparison of how we take in information.
Elijah Magnier is a beloved of certain circles. I don’t like him, I think he spreads his own news that he maybe invented himself. But, he is beloved. Taking a look at the other side of this:
This happens – and there is a benefit in taking a look at those that we despise. (I really do kinda despise (Ripper) but I learned the type from him.
I’ve never seen this kind of pushback against Elijah Magnier – yet, I ignore him and have done so forever. It is a sense yes .. we have those senses.
Sometimes they bear out true, and sometimes they don’t bear out true. The two women journalists on Syria and the region, and their schtick that “Russia lost Syria”, made me sick. Yet, those were the two to wised me up on Ritter and they tore him apart. Now I mainly ignore them excepting that the are on the list to check on the region.
It is just a thing of following one’s own bliss. If you don’t trust someone, don’t follow for sure. In this case Ritter broke the story of the medium range missile into Russia – he broke it for the western world. Nobody in the western commentating sphere would have understood why Russia is so mad and why they are threatening nuclear retaliation. What I gained, is that I could go back to the Russian world and compare why they are freaking out. Knowing via Scott the specs of that Flamingo, I understood the Russians. Smoothie had not said a word and still he has not explained it because he assumes everyone knows what a medium range missile does, and what this one can do. I certainly don’t natively but I do know the times that Russia’s nuclear shield was attacked. Twice with drones and I did not know that they had this Flamingo thing. Now drones they can deal with. Seemingly they can deal with the Flamingo because it is slow. Yet there is always a bleed through.
In a sense I agree with Larch. But I do not expect the Russians to react as the westerners would like them to react.
So, there are ups and downs to hearing out someone that one inherently does not trust – and then, verify! I had to take a look at Trump last evening. No need to verify because we know the lies. The two things that I picked up were worth while .. and the one is that the Epstein Class is making a turn and going for the midterms. Perhaps we will get somewhat of a break, a respite. Consider Tucker Carlson – I mean, I don’t care for him. But his interview – more the way that he did it, is causing a diplomatic rift between gulfies and zionists and that is a good thing. I had a complaint because I spoke about the interview and got a little feisty .. Told the guy that what I am saying is true for that day, and tomorrow is another day. It so happens that the fallout of the interview developed legs.
We are in unique times – truly flying solo, and I go through my international relations training processes kinda daily, and those make little sense excepting that it gives me somewhat of a structure.
Screw Scott Ripper and thanks for all the fish on the Flamingo.
Mario Nafal is an idiot.
Jalisco, Guanajuato and some unrest in Veracruz. Schools and Universities in the affected states will be closed tomorrow and airports will be decided upon in the next hours. The rest is peaceful and as usual. Today I read that the major collection for Cuba at the square (zocalo) in Mexico City was massively successful.
People that write stuff like this: “Pretty close to a full on WAR in Mexico” just do not know what they are talking about. Puerto Vallarta is a tourist town and the tourists are going nuts seeing cars burning and busses burning. So the rhetoric is over the top. We will see in a few hours what Claudia Sheinbaum has to say in her morning review. DD Geopolitics is not so bad. They have this taco stand that is continuing to operate with customers waiting right in Puero Vallharta. I was there when this little tourist town was just beginning to develop and it was sweet then – still a local flavor. Now I don’t know.
I don’t see Mexicans reporting about violence in this night. The tourists are going bananas. Mexicans are calling US interference.
At least CartelWatch is not too bad this time but usually they are feral:
Chaos erupts across parts of Mexico, particularly in Jalisco, following the confirmed killing of CJNG leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias "El Mencho," in a Mexican military operation.
