    I’ve always said Elon Musk is not a friend.  His daughter started talking out.

    Yes, its been all over today, but mostly his friends.  His TG channel moderator posted a message that reads like this:

    Stay calm!

    We have all read the news. There is no full information at this time.

    All that is known is:
    https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/authorities-raid-home-scott-ritter-19626034.php

    Until the situation becomes clearer, to avoid speculation, comments will be temporarily closed.

    We are awaiting further instructions from Scott.

    We will provide all the official updates. Do not trust other channels speculation.

    Sincerely, admin Alexandra Mad.

    But, clicking on that media report they want your email address.  Not so happy with that, so I gave them nothing and don’t know what it says.

    As soon as my kitchen is workable (I moved house during the past few days), I’ll tell the story of my father in law and when and where he was in Russia and what he told me when he was old, and could tell.  This does not surprise me.  The ‘left-behinds’ are still there.

    This Postol guy was speaking about that with Mercouris and Glenn Diesen.  I did not understand a word but he had charts to explain the hypersonic thing.

    Joti Brar said just this very same thing in her TG channel just a few hours ago.

    “Islamophobia has been systematically stirred up for more than 20 years as part of the imperialist propaganda campaign to justify its aggressive wars in the middle east.

    Having made this the ‘acceptable’ face of racism also serves to keep the working class divided and impotent as our rulers wage a relentless attack on workers at home and ramp up their vicious war drive abroad.”

    With clarity.

    I’ll object vehemently against the underlying racism in the piece as well as in the comments.  Good Lord, they are into The Bell Curve now.  Look, I grew up in Africa under Brit rule,  and racism I can smell from a distance.  Those Brits are doing what they do at soccer games, turn into hooligans – it is part of their own national pride.

    This has nothing to do with an open immigration policy.  This has to do with saying people kill because they are black, or it is the Muzzies.  It is p-poor governance from the English nancy boys and has been so since they lost their racism card and plenty victims in Africa.  In addition, they are fighting the fight in the middle-east by breaking down the muzzies, yeah that is what they call them, in their own country.

    Also, Maria commented because the  Brits accused Russia of starting the riots.  Nobody even said that.  She did not do that for the sake of sarcasm, she did that because her job requires her to defend issues like that – Russia being accused.  So, she did it sarcastically but she is not a racist.  She speaks about citizens quite correctly and with style and grace.  The Brits are playing the same cards as when we saw these play out in the US a few years ago.  They are short of victims of their bullying, so anyone who is not pinkish Brit, they will enforce victimhood and inculcate hate for their own victim.  Those people are living the poorest of poor lives.  They also have nothing to exist for.  They were brought into that country, all cultural bonds broken (and the US and Europe) to try and solve the problem of not having soldiers, of a reducing rate of babyhood, of not having a servant class.  And now they are paying the price for a zero education of their imported classes.  They did not want them educated.   That is extreme governmental and governance failure, not the color of a person’s skin or their religion.  The educated classes there diddle babies and young children.  What a sick society.

    Haha .. I saw stuff like that from the most scruffy guys who knew their stuff.  Cannot do that hotdogging with a catamaran.  You know we sailed the whole of the Caribbean – 2 years we were out, climbed masts, fixed engines, sewed sails, cleaned yuck the watermaker, fished for supper, dove, snorkeled, got tired of eating lobster and conch ceviche and what, another uninhabited Caribbean island .. another Jimmy Buffet party, and then got offered a dream project.  Back to work!

    Glad I was not there .. Wow!  scary stuff.   But what?  Strange story but it happens.

    Got sailing stories.  Long periods of boredom with moments of sheer terror!

    We were sailing in the Caribbean with a rookie crew .. well, it was not a crew, it was some young nephews that got the titles first mate and little mate on the fishing boat because of the weight they could carry, fish or paraphernalia.  When we planned the cruise, they were very upset that they were losing their titles and I would be the first mate always to be obeyed immediately after the captain.

    We practiced long and hard, with them standing on chairs doing their tasks, tying knots, jumping up and down and just practicing whatever may happen between boat and water and learning safety rules and safety clothing.  Falling into the pool to be rescued and such stuff.  So coming into dock – came in a tad fast and we were going to hit the dock hard!  .. 50 foot catamaran.  The ones without title were in charge of dropping in the bumpers and I had them well positioned, bumper in hand, nicely tied off (I checked the knots and they knew by then not to get their hands between the line and the thing that they are working with – and believe me, this happened once or twice), spare ones in my hands, and ready.  But when things went a big fast, and the dock came closer too fast, their mouths dropped open, their mother shouted hysterically we are going to hit, we are going to hit .. and the two young seamen without titles stood frozen big eyes.  So, first mate ran and did some strategic things, shouting .. drop the effing things now – between the boat and the dock and come and tie mine off!

    So, we did not hit but afterwards they said they now knew why I was the first mate on this cruise – I shouted louder than their mother!   Then we killed the captain lol, who immediately said that he has to trust his crew dammit – what is a little speed between a boat and a competent crew!

    Lots of fun, but that one, the one with the boys on board, straight according to the rules – safety first – they remember it to today and still have their photo albums and are adults now.  They stood their shifts and we went to bed … not a lick of wind and not danger and we would wake up anyway should there be a different movement, but they stood.  Kids should learn to sail the right way, excellent discipline.

    Another quicky .. sailing on a large lake on a hobycat .. with me 8 months pregnant .. beautiful day and just playing on the water when glug glug, someone forgot to put the plugs into the back of the hobycat.  I was not floatable at the time, and luckily another cat came and hauled me off quickly.

    Needless to say, there were only two captains that I would sail with.  The one was my husband, and the other one sailed for Pepsico, tall ships and sailed all the tall ship parades.  The calmest bugger you could find anywhere!  There is no space there and distances should be accurate.

    This has already been done some time ago – when China said they will not export what can readily be used for war.  They said nothing about parts, the first time, about 4 months ago.  I think this is an eyeblind thing .. they say for civilian use (and military use) but China is not playing with the US any longer.  The US will not have drones from China whereas Russia will have everything not on this list.  Perhaps they are building a few new series.  It is not on the list.

    Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty has expressed his country’s support for Lebanon in confronting Israeli threats, as fears are growing about a full-blown war between Israel and Hezbollah.

    The chants reverberating the crowded streets signified that the Jordanian people, despite the Jordanian regime’s insistence on normalizing and assisting the occupation entity, remained in steadfast support of the resistance.

    Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE and Baharain.

    So far all I saw is that there are talks.  I don’t know if we can call those talks ‘helping Israel against Iran’.  They may just do something like closing airspace.  I don’t know, but no BRICS for them.

    This seems to be the third ship today:  We have just received breaking news about a new fire outbreak on a container ship belonging to the “Maersk” company, which supports “Israel,” with firefighting efforts continuing for the second day off the coast of India.

    Also, from IranDaily24 … translation: Non-stop flights of IL-96 cargo planes from Russia to Iran, carrying heavy military equipment.  I am just not sure of that … https://t.me/iran_daily24/54395

    This was trolling I believe, so not true.

    This is mind-blowing. The resistance is slowly getting themselves together, they are not doing anything except saying “The punishment is coming and you’re gonna cry”, and this while the empire is sending ships, worrying, eating pizza, and trying to figure out what is going to come their way … I know who is sweating and who is calmly working. In the meantime, Bibi’s parliament and others are squeezing him more and more … According to Israeli media reports citing families of Israeli detainees in Gaza: “Netanyahu is heartless, yielding to Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, which is why he is ruining the exchange deal.”

    Careful, it is now war froth.  This is untrue – I just listened ..

    Iran announces in the middle of the Security Council that it has no other choice but to strike the evil entity.

    They asked for/demanded sanctions and action.

    Here is PressTV:  Iran has called upon the United Nations Security Council to take immediate and decisive action against recent Israeli attacks in Tehran and Beirut, saying the regime must be held accountable and face sanctions to prevent further violations.

    Speaking about a SMO – special military operation that will be authorised. But .. it does not mean if authorization exist the military operation will continue.

    All I am saying is hold one, for the reality. Don’t believe the bullet if you don’t see it lol
