Germany Stuck Without Russia: Icebreaker Sent to Rescue Trapped Gas Carrier Breaks Down

The German icebreaker sent to save a gas tanker trapped in ice has itself broken down and is now stuck nearby.

⚠️ The only vessel capable of a real rescue is a Russian nuclear icebreaker, but sanctions on Russia are delaying the operation.

Not a good thing to get hooked on watching the regular George Galloway on Sunday nights.

The possible war on Iran.

I’ve been listening to a few major speakers at the Munich Security Council and it does not seem as if this War on Iran carries a high importance, at least in those lofty circles. They are more busy trying to make war against Russia.

If we do not see shooting break out in the next two weeks, it will be long drawn out, with a consistent weapons threat in the region .. about how things stand now with Venezuela .. control it, but not a full-on regime change. They want the oil, and regime changes will stop the flow because of chaos. So, Trump said yesterday .. Regime change sounds good but at this stage of the game, I think anything sounds good. He is not getting his win. We also saw when Netanyahu come to visit him in DC, there was some journalist question and his response was strong: He will make the decision, nobody else. Toward the end of the month there also is the first meeting of the BoP. I think (and this is tentative .. if nothing over the next two weeks), we will wait for a better opportunity. So far, Iran is steadfast ..they will not go for a perfomative – you shoot once or twice and we shoot once or twice, both declare victory and walk away, they will not negotiate on their missiles (same as Hamas and Hezbollah – same principle – they won’t give up their weapons), and they will not negotiate on their right to have a civilian nuclear program – the only negotiation is what to do with the results of enrichment and how much.

I think we have two weeks – the next round of performative negotiations, the BoP first meeting and then we assess again.

Mearsheimer fwiw considers that Trump recognizes that he has no way of using military force to pressure Iran into accepting Israel’s demands or overthrowing the government to install one that would comply.

It seems to me as if the whole administration is becoming a little careful because of mid-terms. Trump knows that a misstep now will be devastating to him.

There always is a catch.  ICE stays eh.

What did a friend once say … Don’t Worry, it can always get worse.

One of the biggest surprises to me when the SMO started, was to see that nazism is alive and well. Oh, I knew there were nazis around but I never could think it was at the level that we saw and see in Ukraine and in Europe. Far as I was concerned, there were a few people around who still had parties on Hitler’s birthday – just splinters left.

Now we see that fascism is alive and well as a natural outflow of nazism. My biggest surprise is where the current US administration found all these (and we see it in the women in the administration most intensely – possibly because of the more visible emotional expression) fascists. How on earth is it possible that so many of those birds can flock together in one administration, and not even hide what they are.

Many theories come to mind. These days I tend to the theory that these types were bred or trained in for the job. If one looks carefully at the various speeches and interviews, at least to my eyes the signs of emotional meddling in the psyches can be picked up. When I was sponsored for training at a quasi Tavistock many years ago, I saw signs of this. At that time I knew I had to get out because I had no hard proof, and possibly could not even express it with clarity at the time. I just had my nose and my eyes and my kineasthetic sense that something was really wrong and I have to get out, but oh so cleverly, ’cause they won’t let me go.

This ‘meddling’ (for the lack of a good psych word which probably is programming but that is too mundane) in my opinion cannot be fixed – it is not like a cult member that can be recovered with some good therapy. It sits deeper. I am not really one that describes it as devilish or devil worship although of course the rituals in that life set it apart. It is more like that genes have been changed, but on an epigenetic level. Be assured, to do that, if one is of an age that one can understand, this happens with full agreement of the victim. Children are just lost and for them we can have empathy, but for the older ones, there is no empathy at least from me.

Prof Jiang had a video some months ago as to how trauma based processes are used for this epigenetic programming, how the trauma creates the binding secret that makes ’em flock together. For males, yes. For women, it is more subtle. And then women become much more feral.

Yeah, of course she agreed as she could not do otherwise.

Massie says Pam Bondi’s staff gave her flash cards on how to insult Congress members.

How very wonderful Cronetoo!  Beautiful people and truth!
