ParticipantThere’s perhaps worth in reading Winston’s History, biased and mean though he, and his work, is. His History. Pity, they don’t study the History at the US academy. They might fear the prospects, the fates, they themselves create by cruel and stupid violence and greed.>

The Story of the Malakand Field Force, by Sir Winston S. Churchill
“Nor are these struggles conducted with the weapons which usually belong to the races of such development. To the ferocity of the Zulu are added the craft of the Redskin and the marksmanship of the Boer. The world is presented with that grim spectacle, “the strength of civilisation without its mercy.” At a thousand yards the traveller falls wounded by the well-aimed bullet of a breech-loading rifle. [elsewhere he speaks of “illiterate and poverty-striken tribesmen possessed of the finest Martini-Henry rifles] His assailant, approaching, hacks him to death with the ferocity of a South-Sea Islander. The weapons of the nineteenth century are in the hands of the savages of the Stone Age.
Ref Salamis> By deception the Persians were induced to spend a long night at sea looking for the absent Greeks, by the following afternoon they were physically exhausted, their ships sodden and heavy, as the Greeks went forth knowing the winds and current, fresh and determined after a good night sleeping ashore, their ships, having been beached, were dry and lighter. And few Persians could swim, while those that managed to reach the shore were hacked to bits. Greeks were of course, when necessity obliged them to swim ashore, welcomed.
I don’t expect they study Salamis at the academy… 😉 If they did…then they might recognise the game!
Sal the Sailor is permitted to teach “history” They actually pay him!
ParticipantRemarking that a slight bias-change in the individual might be expected to skew the collective bias in a large set of linked individuals, in a “nation” or “community” perhaps a subtle but fatal change in the public mind. Thus this (and other) drugs might be functionally an element in a large scale policy of mind and consent control…a splendid nazi policy! Relieve the herd of just a smidgeon of good sense, and perhaps moral scruple? Just what the putrid fascists need!
With such ideas and questions in mind…
see Effects of acetaminophen on risk taking | Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience | Oxford Academic
abstract>Abstract
Acetaminophen, an analgesic and antipyretic available over-the-counter and used in over 600 medicines, is one of the most consumed drugs in the USA. Recent research has suggested that acetaminophen’s effects extend to the blunting of negative as well as positive affect. Because affect is a determinant of risk perception and risk taking, we tested the hypothesis that acute acetaminophen consumption (1000 mg) could influence these important judgments and decisions. In three double-blind, placebo-controlled studies, healthy young adults completed a laboratory measure of risk taking (Balloon Analog Risk Task) and in Studies 1 and 2 completed self-report measures of risk perception. Across all studies (total n = 545), acetaminophen increased risk-taking behavior. On the more affectively stimulating risk perception measure used in Study 2, acetaminophen reduced self-reported perceived risk and this reduction statistically mediated increased risk-taking behavior. These results indicate that acetaminophen can increase risk taking, which may be due to reductions in risk perceptions, particularly those that are highly affect laden.https://academic.oup.com/scan/article/15/7/725/5897711?login=false

ParticipantI suppose we may was well take Clausewitz in the long form too>
ParticipantWhen is a good question. I did some thinking and checking.
“Thus, war is an act of violence in order to force our will upon the enemy.” On War – Volume I – Chapter II, Clausewitz. ( by v C., terrorism and war appear to be indistinguishable.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_War
We probably ought to take heed of Sun Tsu as well. Because “War is the life of the State”, we may say, I think, that Clausewitz’s definition would be qualified by adding at least one State to the set of participants. Recently VVP has said that Russia is “at war with NATO”. Since NATO is an alliance and the US is a principal member…well, there’s no lack of violence, there is declared intent by the US to destroy Russia, and there are several opposing States engaged.
War is illegal under the UN Charter, excepting pursuant to Art 51, (immediate self-defense) iirc.
Yes, dear, it’s a war. It is also terrorism, since it’s illegal violence for political objective. And yes too, the escalation ladder climbs very fast. Any lingering doubts will probably be swept away in a few days, or even hours. Ah betcha STAVKA and VVP will be burning the midnight oil. Miss Hazel may fly again too…
We here at the digs don’t “do” Christmas, though sometimes a gift passes. I bought a little folding knife for my adult son, and one for my disabled US navy biker pal. What a hell of a Christmas! Most murkinz have no clue, though a few seem to know, working class middle-aged fellas.
To his credit, the hysterical Hal seems to know…and he does have an audience. And Napolitano has about a million subscribers. His guests seem to know…but they’re pretty reluctant to be explicit. He himself, being a Constitutional expert and also pretty sharp with international law, must know.

“It is too early to speculate on who could have done it, but Ursa Major is a large vessel and what is described sounds like torpedo attack at the screw-rudder group (винто-рулевая группа). We still have to wait for information though.
(I have difficulty with the “3 explosions” from a torpedo, unless it was 3 torpedoes…which seems like over-kill. iirc torpedoes also have acoustic “signature”…so the subs in the Med probably know a lot)
“But here, there is no doubt that it was a terrorist act with Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer jet.” (exit holes from internal event)

“The emergency shutdown of the EstLink 2 direct current cable between Estonia and Finland occurred on December 25 at 12:26 Estonian time (13:26 Moscow time), reported the Estonian electricity and gas network operator Elering”

………………….
The sunken ship affair does begin to look like sabotage by explosives internal…they’ll “get to the bottom” and find out. I seem to recall that the acoustic waveform from an explosion is characteristic…so who was listening/recording…just about every submarine in the Med I expect…so the preliminary story is probably on Putin’s desk.
External magnetic mines can be detonated acoustically from a sono-bouy or sub… internal by radio from an aircraft, or so I am pretty sure. The nazis did Nordstream acoustically, Seymour R claimed.
It would hardly be the first Ruski ship to have been sunk by the enemy, the nazis.
Similarly…Airplane crash… Putin’s demeanor seems to me to suggest that he’s pretty sure that was sabotage…and it would not be the first passenger aircraft destroyed by the nazis.

ParticipantYes, it sounds like sabotage/attack of ship. Still, crankcase explosions happen in multiples, generally 2 , but it can be three.. Forensics are called for. I wonder how deep she is.

ParticipantEngine-room explosion. Ship sank. Remarkable coincidence!

Participant“Project Zonker?” 😉 Group publishes details about CIA mind control studies — RT World News
https://www.rt.com/news/609860-cia-mind-control-records/
“The experiments, including those done on unwitting subjects, largely stemmed from interest in anti-war sentiments expressed by US troops who fought in the Korean War and went through captivity. The media coined the term ‘brainwashing’ to explain why soldiers would sympathize with the Communist enemy. The CIA hoped it could replicate the effect, conducting research under the code names BLUEBIRD, ARTICHOKE and MKULTRA.” (my bold)
“The Archive pointed the finger at pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly & Company as the supplier of “tonnage quantities” of LSD to the CIA. ” (100 microgram is a serious dose!)
“It is “a history marked by near-total impunity at the institutional and individual levels for countless abuses committed across decades,” the group said. Some of the research was akin to what was previously done by “the Nazi doctors who were tried at Nuremberg.”
After almost 140 days of proceedings, including the testimony of 85 witnesses and the submission of almost 1,500 documents, the American judges pronounced their verdict on August 20, 1947. Sixteen of the doctors were found guilty – seven were sentenced to death
and hanged at the Landsberg War Criminal Prison on June 2, 1948; the other nine were
sentenced to terms ranging from 10 years to life. All of them were released early, and none

ParticipantUS government agencies and private contractors, including companies from so-called ‘Big Pharma’, are involved to establish cooperation with local specialized ministries,” the general said. “The result of this ‘selective assistance’ is a transition to American standards for personnel training, as well as the transfer and consolidation of information about the biological situation, the degradation of national healthcare systems, and the imposition of medical equipment and supplies providers. As a result, participating states lose their national sovereignty in the field of biosafety and become completely dependent on the United States.” Africa is ‘new focus’ of US biolab activities – Moscow — RT Africa
