ZH tells of forward bases and da krauts…jus’ like a da ol’ days…  On Monday, Germany sent an advance team of 20 soldiers to Lithuania, laying the groundwork for the recently discussed establishment of a permanent brigade in the NATO country.

iirc the rule of thumb for build up stages is decimal…1, 10, 100, 1000 and so forth. The rate however is unknowable from Anoxia… So? 20 200 2000 20000 Noting that there isn’t much time…rates can be forced…

Kicking nazis outta Odessa… On April 10, 1944 in the course of Odessa operation which took place 26 March – 14 April, 1944 the armies of the 3rd Ukrainian front liberated the city of Odessa. The symbol of the city liberation from the occupants was the red banner raised on the very same day over the Opera theater.

Some might say that the Czar has little choice in the matter of liberation the second time.

Well – assuming the proposal is genuine, then we ought to assume that the Iranian fellows have suddenly and miraculously developed trust in the US Government. This is difficult to credit. And it assumes, or implies, a belief that the individuals representing the US, the Biden Blinken Sullivan Obummer cohort have the freedom to act… That’s to say they assume that Netyawho does not have Jeff’s Files…won’t use the bomb, won’t do a FF in US (another one I mean, 911 an’ all) and the rest… These assumptions and implications, indeed the whole routine seem naive to me, and therefore unrealistic. Let’s try reversing…

In such a case it seems to me that the cunning Iranians expect the deal to be refused…thus, after the fact, it will be shouted out that the US could have stopped the terrible Iranian attack on innocent Israel, but refused…thus dividing somewhat and adding to the woes of the Byedonelectionfiasco… There’s probably more that does not occur to mind… smart fellas.

…proliferation of deepfake materials in the turbulent sphere of modern global politics no longer seems harmless or amusing. After all, the fake politicians or celebrities appearing in materials created with this technology say things the real people never said, and do things they never did. As a result there is a real danger of social networks being used as a channel for spreading fake news, slandering opponents, manipulating public opinion and committing other illegal acts that may have far-reaching political consequences.

Russian lawmakers are justifiably concerned about the dangerous consequences of the uncontrolled dissemination of deepfake materials. The State Duma of the Russian Federation is currently considering a bill designed to create a strict legal framework to regulate this type of activity in Russia.

Western politicians and political operatives appear to be taking a diametrically opposite view of the deepfake issue – namely that a skillfully used “fake” can have successful results. For example, in unfolding US presidential election campaign, which promises to be one of the dirtiest in the country’s history, there have already been many examples of the creation and dissemination of openly provocative deepfakes. For example, an audio fake has been discovered in which the voice of Joe Biden “strongly encourages” voters to abstain from voting in the Democratic Party primaries in New Hampshire.

A report by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, one of the country’s most respected think tanks, analyzes the role played by deepfakes in US political life and its potential for future development…. and so forth. Do read the article. see https://www.csis.org/analysis/government-use-deepfakes

Which article refers to a learned paper> https://csis-website-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/2024-03/240312_Byman_Government_Deepfakes.pdf?VersionId=OAFKvrOi9ojseIjOKhzqi672claqU.if

And which begins> This paper examines several scenarios in which democratic governments might consider using deepfakes to advance their foreign policy objectives. It argues that officials should consider the following factors: (1) the likely efficacy of the deepfake, (2) its audience, (3) the potential harms, (4) the legal implications, (5) the nature of the target, (6) the goal of the deepfake, and (7) the traceability of the deepfake back to the originating democratic government. In general, the authors argue that deepfakes should not be used as they are likely to reduce the credibility of democratic governments if their use is discovered, though there may be rare circumstances when their use deserves serious consideration. This paper also proposes a process for approving or rejecting deepfakes that ensures that a wide variety of perspectives are brought to the table.

Ah! Imagine the possibilities!

In US funny stuff. First off, the efficiency of the existing HV transformers in the electrical grid varied from 97 to 99%. It is said that it is possible by using amorphous electrical steel core to gain some 50% in the efficiency of an example over the normal grain-oriented electrical steel. So? So at vast expense, because there’s little capacity to make amorphous electrical steel, the cost of and limits on availability of electric power will rise – while the lucky fellas wot invested in the steel company and who sold their shares in the other… Vast racket…and if it happens that the machines actually get replaced we shall have 1/2 of 3% to 1/2 of 1% gain… how jolly! https://www.energy.gov/articles/doe-proposes-new-efficiency-standards-distribution-transformers

Meantime Lavrov offers possibilities… I would like to add that these assessments do not rule out the possible resumption of relations with the West. If it comes to its senses and sees that it is no longer possible to act as the colonial or neo-colonial power, and that the world has changed and there are new centres of power, economic development and financial might it must respect, it will be able to join these processes on the basis of equality, respect for each other, mutual advantage and a balance of interests. With this aim in view, we will maintain contacts with the West at the UN. We will work with those who are prepared to do this on an equal footing.

Remarking that the first and second uses of the atomic bomb were, in addition to effects tests on a “clean target”, deliberately;y intended to create fear and obedience in USSR. Speaking of the unlocked little top shelf thingies… This indicated a provincial ignorance of great moment…and I note that this ignorance has advanced to previously not-imagined depths.

The argument in law is presented, sorta… But the US is a Common Law zone too…such that the reality is actually somewhat undetermined at this time. Like the man said, the Law is what the judge says…and that’s in the future…and depends on assumption Deagel no happen 😉

The over-riding reality is what Mao said… the bailiff with his gun…and we note that these persons do not always obey the Courts. Nor is the Judiciary independent, as the Law requires… Such is the state of affairs.

I met a Georgetown Law graduate who did not know that there were three branches of the US Federal Government… no kidding. Ignorance or realpolitik? Dunno…

Meantime, always believe everything they say, right?
