    Yeah, he’s a showman, like TR was. They say getting shot at, and getting hit, has a profound effect on the man. Assuming he is now a shoe-in, if there is an election, it may be that there will be a big payback. Seems reasonable. Noting that it sounds to my ear like a simi auto pistol, I count about 8-10 rounds fired. They always double, so the implication is that there will now be a “main event” in order to “postpone” election due to “civil unrest” etc etc. It seems like a machine logic read only program, end of empires go this way.  Does not seem to me like anything but a genuine assassination attempt, one that failed to kill the target. I have long speculated that if, at Dallas, it had failed, John would have been guaranteed re-election, and with a stong mandate for peace with USSR, as was his promise. The numerous political shootings – Japan, EU – recently, coincidence theory weighs in.  ie no coincidence. The shootings all point to desperation and fear and panic, and a common agency, ahem. I wonder if at Martha’s Vinyard  they’ve sent out for extra vodka and coke tonite. S. Stone spoke of antififa and speculated that it is an intelop, (duh!). The lit fuze may be, but it looks like a damp squib. If is not a coincidence and they screwed it up, look for encore of some sort, ie more lighting of fuzes… I don’t imagine it was a coincidence.  What will be will be. Nasty business. Trumpster now, as a “wounded animal” will be an especially grave danger to his enemies…that outcome is about as bad for them as possible, I think. Nobody should be surprised. Nor be astonished when things get worse.  FWIW I note that Trump’s response was brave.

    Teddy Roosevelt got shot and went on to give a speech, pulled up his shirt, and yelled, (iirc) “…and not only that! I’ve been shot!”  Very effective!

    Re abilities to support expeditionary adventures   Military Sealift Command 75th Anniversary | (Ep1) Founding of Military Sea Transportation Service – YouTube    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIxXuBlsbVU

    (we wonder if Mister Sal realizes that about half of the military material is sourced in China? Very droll. And chauvinist, and one might ask how MSTS will operate if when the shootin’ starts “Capitán, ¿qué pasará cuando este barco se hunda?” )

    FWIW, USN has a problem with costs and shooting machines. G2mil has interesting story. It seems to imply that USN does not want nice big cheap effective long range guns, just really spendy rocketty thingie projects. 8-inch Naval Gun https://g2mil.com/8inchguns.htm (This is ok I guess, as if they had nice guns they’d shoot them at people I like. I assume the Ruskies are amused and choking on their tea.)

    I am not able to express an opinion of this claim, but neither can I dispute it> https://www.voltairenet.org/article221120.html  (Alfredo Jalife-Rahme – Mexico City )   It seems well taken.

    claim> The reception of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by a joint session of the U.S. Congress is not just an operation against President Joe Biden, it is also an endorsement of Israel’s parliamentary majority in its continuation of the massacre in Gaza. What’s more, given Netanyahu’s insistence on going to war against Hezbollah, involving Iran and bringing in the United States, this will be one more step in his strategy to atomize Persia.

    The anthology Miracle in the East (WW2 Yankee news articles) https://www.fiip.ru/upload/iblock/2ae/u3ha1bq2s3t8kctxjfq2k97tzq8oc690/Miracle-in-the-East-english.pdf   is very fine. There are several similarities to our time. And the characterizations of Stalin, and the War, coincide with opinions expressed in the 1970’s and 80’s by Molotov.  Not all the Yankee press was favorable to the Soviets, just as not every Soviet Policy was perfect, or even logical. “Let Heaven judge them”, Putin said. I agree.

    Even the mob had better manners!

    ………

    The ability of sealift has been mentioned in respect to the nazi delusions about being able to support their overseas militaries. Ability? Not much. I have been hearing lurid stories since even the time of the big buildup the nazis did to waste Saddam… obsolete unreliable ships and no qualified crews.  Now, like everything else, far worse….or far better – depending on point of view. Anyway the vastly dispersed forces and endeavors can’t be supported. This is, as smoothie says, not 1943..or ’44. Nazis are hysterical and hallucinating. see> The US Navy’s Military Sealift Command and Royal Navy’s Royal Fleet Auxiliary Face a Crewing Crisis  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWCF00C_Vtw

    If the RoW takes the decision to sink or bang up the few ships, as they may, (taking inspiration from our Yememi brothers) it gets even more, ah, innarrestin’ I note that while navy fellas have a stark choice of obedience or mutiny, the merchant “service” cannot be forced to crew a ship.

    I do recall irresponsible chatter about a special skills draft… But there really are not nearly enough men with the skills, nor ships. Those few fellas would have a poor attitude as well. 😉

    Transit of Cape. Previously I looked up materials respecting the loading of grain. The assumption is that the laden ship will not roll more than 20 degrees. If she does, the repose of the grain fails and the cargo shifts. At sea there is little or no ability to restore the shifted grain to the propper repose. In the example of the very rough seas in the Cape passage this means loading less grain in order to increase stability, which means a “stiff” roll, and a more expensive passage for the delivered grain… and if things get serious, as they will, it means capsized ships, cracked ships (which may break open and sink).

    Speaking of “capsizes”, I note that Dr Marwa Osman opined that the US “election” will in her opinion not take place. https://www.rt.com/shows/direct-impact/600846-biden-nato-orban-putin-meeting/

    Essay, to which AHH has given the url above ( The Ashes Will Come First ) refers to Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America. He examined America together with a colleague.  Each wrote a book, each complimented the other. Gustave de Beaumont wrote Marie, or Slavery in the United States

    Marie can be read as Beaumont’s version of the second volume of Democracy in America, it would seem that Tocqueville , in the end, did not regard Beaumont’s novel as having exhausted the subject of American mores

    The internal contradictions were self-evident long ago, then they were :fissures in the tapestry” now they tear the hysterical machine to pieces.

    For reason painfully obvious these and related works are not in the canon, nobody reads or studies Marie. Melville’s The Confidence Man is never read, nor studied either. The collapse ought not to come as a surprise.  For many it is already happening.

    My chemistry ‘speriment, a probably useful, cheap, and effective insecticide more or less nontoxic to mammals (note, the isopropanol is toxic, it’s “rubbing alcohol”. (No drinkie, and transdermal absorption does happen… go figure! Why they call it rubbing alcohol remains an open question)

    everything is overthecounter cheap

    at room temperature, no flames, don’t smoke. Wash your hands.

    borax 3 gm

    Boric acid 9 gm

    vodka (40% ethanol, 60% water) about 400 gm

    Rubbing alcohol 70% isopropanol 30% water about 400 gm

    The mix of boric acid and borax increases solubility

    Put it all in a squeeze bottle, an old quart rubbing alcohol plastic bottle will do. That’s what I used.

    Shake it for a few minutes, Hold it up to the light and observe “snow” settling, Shake some more. Repeat until no “snow”, ie all dissolved. Squirt into insect crevices and so on. Ants roaches earwigs and so forth cannot long survive. The water and alcohols are simply carriers, upon evaporation the stuff remains deep in dark insectiverous lairs and continues to work. That said, the alcohols probably are paralytic to the (formerly) happy little fellers.

    Shelf life probably years. No let freeze. Keep away from children. (ya never can tell what they’ll do)

    We use it for ants in the kitchen. In hot weather the little guys move inside… and it’s hot!

    Both boax and boric acid are flame retardant and with that much water it’s very unlikely to ignite. Still, keep away from flame. Don’t smoke, wash your hands.

    It is a ‘speriment though. Better ‘n raid, imho. Dunno about lice or bedbugs…maybe? We must ask the Frenchies!  Hello Paris?

    Thanks, Sudhi.

    The details seem realistic, well reasoned, the estimate seem about right too. To me the conflict has always been existential, inescapable, merely a matter of time.

    One question arises however. Aleks writes>  I’m afraid the Americans will have even bigger trouble by 2030. That is the forecast of the Chinese intelligence services. By 2030, the American problem will have solved itself without intervention.

    The Chinese forecast was unknown to me. I don’t dispute the conclusion, but would like to read the details, of their analysis about the US civil war (2.0, as the first episode was “solved” by occupation and violence, and did not put to rest the internal contradictions, which have only festered).

    I would add that the second phase of this, like the first,  is surely going to involve appeals to outside assistance, and since many dangerous materials and wanted criminals are presumed to be, in 2030, in the US, the outside assistance is liable to come. It’s hardly in the interests of the world to leave nuclear power plants to spew , nor to fail to arrest major war criminals. And there is the matter of the nazi character of the us itself, arguably it’s a nazi base, and the nazis must not be permitted to prevail. Then too, reparations will be necessary. In that respect, whither Alaska? 😉 Whither Hawaii? 😉

    Sacrebleu ! Yet another remarkable “renovation” coincidence! https://www.rt.com/news/600861-gothic-cathedral-catches-fire-rouen/

    The Gothic Notre-Dame de Rouen has had the tallest church spire in France, soaring over 150 meters above the ground.

    ….and what pray tell 😉 does coincidence theory say of this?

    I listened to D. Orlov’s more recent interview. I can’t disagree.  I note what Napolitano quoted to-day, when all else fails they take you to war. Bearing Orlov’s brutal and accurate analysis in mind, the war-path left for zone nazi seems to be surprise nuclear attack, though to be fair they’d probably try to bluff with just a gadget or two. We must recall that they’re crazy. And hope dies last. They’re delusional. And they have gadgets and submarines and such… Noting that they have already taken their zone to war, and are failing at it.
