Mr P
ParticipantI suffered through…as I have done with worse. He is bamboozled of course, but there were many details and insights…withal he says> great uncertainty, great hysteresis in the transport systems…great expense…details such as the 2024 freight rate was about to be set, and now it’s going to be set higher. Just because he’s a nitwit outside his expertise, doanmean a thing, I think his near-term analysis is close to spot on…where we diverge of course is when the larger scope of history illuminates the scene…there we see juxtaposed vast and great civilizational states and multitudes of peoples against a moribund empire…he’s right, great change, but he underestimates the about to be. Like the dog in the night, what he does not know matters. Best! P
ParticipantAh! Let us pray that the History continues long enough to be written…and I wonder how these peoples came to be ruled by nazis…and doubt the genetic or racial aspect is deterministic. There may be, from the experience of 500 years of brutality, significant epigenetic and/or cultural “effects” that require some supervision, I will grant. Mostly their blood is red. One might claim credibly that these people are hijacked, and regarded as deplorable by the nazi junta, eh?
But what’s on my list is this> https://youtu.be/QDx9w1G7PqU Fairly timely 51 minutes on global shipping… hold nose!
Freight Rates go aloft! https://www.rt.com/business/589511-ocean-freight-rates-skyrocket/ Price gouging ? Aw shucks… say it ain’t so…
And ( nonfunctional url note detail ) https://theduran [dot] locals.com/upost/5039515/red-sea-shipping-crisis-hoax-people-should-stop-talking-about-a-red-sea-blockade-there-is-none
TEXT of opinion>
RED SEA SHIPPING CRISIS HOAX
People should stop talking about a “Red Sea blockade”: there is none.
If there was one, Ansarullah would suffer itself most from it because the territory they control and administer depends on the port of Hodeidah for all its essential supplies. For that matter, the port is working normally (I know since I happen to work for Middle-Eastern shipping and logistics companies).
In reality, the “Houthis” have indeed been attacking Israel owned or operated ships, or ships destined to or coming from Israel ports. Reports of attacks on other merchant ships are just that: reports. Sources mainly are the UK and US military, very little photographic evidence is produced and, miraculously, among this deluge of missiles and drones raining down on ships, nobody got injured, no pollution occurred, no ship sank. Gulf of Tonkin, anyone?
Shipping lines and oil majors reroute vessels through the Cape? Ofcourse [sic] they do that, they should be stupid not to. Prolonging the distance reduces capacity and increases freight rates. Same for oil prices. Shares of listed shipping lines which reroute went up and this includes Israel’s ZIM. Stock markets are no one’s fool.
ENDE
Noting that the truth in the matter is mixed with prejudice and emotion and great complexity…and the beliefs… If the claims and views are set all together they do seem to nest, warbucks companies gouge and bribe, brave men fight others not so brave…thieves steal, pimps blackmail…desperadoes rampage…great obsolete fleets steam in circles..and this begins (?) the shape of W3, ahreckon.
ParticipantObserving the above note beginning It is important to note that according to Soleimani’s strategy, Iran is not going to fight itself. He is going to fight against the United States and Israel with the help… observing that this is Ropeadope, but with elegance… how so? Because the Plan, the Strategy, requires agreement and shared will among many thousand of disparate persons and areas with independent wills and agenda…now set in concert. That’s the achievement. Blessing upon Soleimani… gleichschaltung anybody? Is big prerequisite to victory. Quiz question> This quality “coordination” resides in what degree in nazi zones? And in their foe? 10 points!
Mediterranean affray.. iirc the Iranians spoke also of Gibraltar. I can imagine only one method available, rockets. Considering this, yeah, they could make the Strait pretty dangerous…too risky, I expect. Firing zone circle is immense.
ParticipantThey say that the various missiles that Yemen uses are guided via ADS-B. And that this works with an ap anybody can use, presumably on a smartphone. They also say that the ADS-B can be used to intercept the missile, or at least discriminate between targets. So it’s said… I have no competency in this matter. Improving the guidance might be pretty easy, imho. And the story may be inaccurate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Dependent_Surveillance%E2%80%93Broadcast
This may return us to GPS Jam … 😉
ParticipantRifles, Making of… see illustration and find “axle shaft”. These are made of very strong steel. A gunsmith I knew as a boy, and who made his own 30.06 bull barrel target rifles, informed me that he made his barrels from 2 1/2 ton Ford rear axles. They’re long enough too, and essentially free for the taking. Of course boring and rifling is another matter, fella needs a mill and a lathe and also a forge for heat treating and annealing… anybody can make a gun, with a good enough reason…and at some point, an experienced smith to instruct.
ParticipantTheodora, you’re very welcome. I thought the significance was that the network permitted it… Note Benz respecting the spooks and the media https://youtu.be/WnMnGn7XgfU and recalling Laurel Canyon and more > https://centerforaninformedamerica.com/laurelcanyon/ Maybe a one off, but I doubt it. Signals fracture, imho. Best! P
ParticipantThank you Brother!
Generally imho this is what Muhammad Ali spoke of as Rope-a-Dope, exhaust opponent while avoiding serious injuries to the program…in boxing this means taking a few bruises, and it depends on being in better shape so far as quickness and stamina, and determination. I had not imagined Uncle Ben knew of the Master, but I am sure they know one another now!
Recent scope of Russian executive statement imply (no promises!) that their desire, inter alia, is to preserve the continuity of government in NA, but to reform it. That’s to say, more or less, they follow the Policy of Alexander II in 1860 in this respect. Of course, Policies may change according to the situation. It may be that the US becomes a bit smaller pretty soon, Mexico and Russia have potential claims… These may become leveraged….you know, realpolitik.
We shall, evidently, experience Perestroika, and follow the patterns of the Soviet adventure in re-birth. Your correspondent and friend, already somewhat decayed, may not survive it, but even if things go very nicely… Anyway, Hobson’s Choice. I am not planning om dying anytime soon!
Orlov gave a NATO opinion to-day, Kaputski, in brief, and of course his expectation for the US is well known.

ParticipantStandard Missile-2 or 3 or whatever >missile> iiuc these launch from vertical cells. These cells (100 of so per DD) cannot be reloaded at sea. When there are no more missiles, BOTH the DD’s and their Carrier must retreat from the danger zone to find a cooperative port…with carnes and special stuff, and spares. Rather a humiliation, one may surmise. Ok, I’m outta ammo fellas, wait for me while I get more, ok? Ok… Just wait… Hello?
ParticipantAt the beginning, we are taught, one of the great men in the History of what’s now known as the US Empire was Benjamin Franklin. And we are taught that upon the declaration and the Constitution he remarked “A Republic, if you can keep it.”
But before these things we have political rhetoric and polemic… I encourage everyone to read and consider his Rules by Which a Great Empire May Be Reduced to a Small One (1773)
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Rules_By_Which_A_Great_Empire_May_Be_Reduced_To_A_Small_One
Prescient, ain’t it?
Quiz and essay Monday…
ParticipantThe reference above to Helmer leads to The Foreign Ministry communiqué summarizing the discussions in Morocco declared: “There was a thorough discussion of the situation in Syria, Libya, Yemen, Sudan, the Ukrainian crisis, countering terrorism and extremism, and the creation of a zone free of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East.”
The deal? imho The deal that FoB-zone P is going to make will be that the colonialists trade the bombs for their lives, and the surrender for trial or specific criminal persons, and so forth. Ruski will probably do the same with the bombs as with the chemical arsenal of Syria…
ParticipantThe domestic propaganda washing over the US people, as all propaganda, reveals agenda when it’s examined properly. And the agenda is substantially influenced by clandestine agencies, and obvious ones as well.
Accordingly radio show https://www.coasttocoastam.com/show/2023-12-20-show/
The “guest” in that episode contradicted essentially the entire propaganda story paradigm in which the people have been washed for many years.
Never mind belief or magic, the point is what he says and more especially the venue…coast to coast hours long night time inserting into drowsy minds…long haul truckers, the guys running the trains, cops, the girls at the cafe… BTW he expect the proposed treaties of Dec 2021 to be agreed to, and that NATO is finished…and so on.
Thus, kindly do read what the new predictive programming agenda reveals. Whether this represents a weakening of the control, or a phase of control strategy…well, it probably does not matter.
Withal> the guest’s predictions> http://www.hogueprophecy.com/
excerpt> I recognize yet another fulfillment in play, Russia leading the way with China and the BRICS nations, bringing what Edgar Cayce so long ago predicted that Russia would be in our time, “The hope of the World.”
He improves on that!

ParticipantThe serene passage of Ruskie tankships en-route Syria through the Gate was noted. People are nice when others are also nice!
Mines… The channel running from Perm to Yemen beach is disputed as to innocent passage. It is also shallow enough to allow mines to be moored by cable, eg it is way closable. The main channel is too deep, but there are no promises…
Inflow is on surface, outflow sub-surface.
Opinion of legal sort> Maritime security threats and the passage regime in the Bab el-Mandeb https://site.uit.no/nclos/2021/06/21/maritime-security-threats-and-the-passage-regime-in-the-bab-el-mandeb/
ParticipantMines. Main channel too deep. The channel between Perm Isl and Yemen shore just right. This waterway is disputed as to right of innocent passage. We shall see that the dispute is no more, mines being hard to argue with. The Ruskie tankships steamed serenely past the guardian of the Gate, en-route Syria, they say. See what happens when people are nice!
Thread takes long time to load, sometimes fails to.
Hi MistyAnn

Participantrecalling that, as Olaf and other have from time to time displayed evidence of injuries, black eyes, etc… recall that Bush43 in 2000 also… I remember. People said he was drunk…well, I have been drunk a lot, and it never produced a black eye! Generally they are associated with getting hit in the face…baton, fist, 2×4… and so forth.
ParticipantAs we see, bombing cities only creates a bitter resistance and willingness to suffer any cruelty in order to fight back. It pisses people off. And it is a crime now, as it was then. As we know, there were many nazi and now their offspring…and I have in bar hopping days encountered several nazi German expats…and with my poor kraut engaged with them in their stories. It’s just about as David Irving has written.
BTW recently I found cursive notes on the 1938 visit to NZ by Luckner…(sailed there from the Baltic in a Finnish fishing schooner)…. and his wealthy Swedish industrialist wife. They were terrified of the Bolsheviks. This explains his A, early support for Hitler. and B, his double agent status after 1938… He was always an intel guy, because of his ability to adopt different classes, or persona… an actor, essentially. Luckner was a Mason, btw… lodge of 3 balls Hamburg, iirc. Got it?
Best! P
