“Hostages, prisoners, captives…” It may be best to have one simple term, prisoners, I would suggest. Otherwise one engages in the nazi rhetoric…imho. If there is exchange and so on there is some sort of equality, thus better take neutral term for each party, even the criminal party…they say that “arrest” and imprisonment without trial is mere kidnapping, after all….and then too, one observes the conditions kept in the prisons… Hamas takie highground…made friends! Smart fellas! Best! P

Observe it is clear, or very probable, that west or client naval forces are entirely capable un-seizing boats from Yemeni fellas, so far as such a small operation might go. Particularly when the seizing is proximate in time or underway. What is not clear and very interesting is why these naval forces do not un-seize. Perhaps there might be a heavy cost to naval forces…or to the States that dare to un-seize…and we speculate about the form of such costs. Naturally un-seizing would be attended by much blood. But when did that bother nazi bosses? Perhaps the oil machine, wells, tanks, cookers and crackers…  ashore is the treasure the nazi fear might be ruined, eh? Maybe… Best! P

The Carlo was a term unknown, see> https://www.timesofisrael.com/say-hello-to-carlo-the-cheap-lethal-go-to-gun-for-terrorists/

imho highly nifty weapon…though amarynth’s old Mauser are aesthetically akin to Mosin Nagant, and very fine, it’s a needs must choice, and Mr Carlo seems to my eye nearly ideal… costly to feed and keep 😉 But veryverysmartchoice. Best! P

Thank you kindly.

Mrs P observed a Quaker Meeting and remarked that “They’re Buddhists, and mostly don’t know it.”  I myself am estranged from the communion type Q, but remain in the world, and not of it…hence zero political advocacy, etc…mere witness, except for charity to neighbors in harvest, fixin’ a car for free, such stuff. Beyond my fence I rarely venture.

I was raised in the Anglican rituals, but they never caught me! (Father had notions)… For a significant time the Quakers married in, several hundred years. This created a conservation of certain characters…both genetic and cultural and philosophical…and an attitude of…well, it’s like the feller wot stood up during the Evangelical preachers’ polemics and shouted “that’s not true Brother!” (of course that’s hyperbole, but that’s the Character Quaker, imv.) Mother knew many details, now lost, her family were “outlaws”, smuggling escaped slaves, constantly in peril of lynching by their neighbors in Ohio, and other stuff…buying slaves to free them. Mind you Scotsirishandhillcountyhardscrabblefolk forged in the Limey civil war…) Now these genes are being re-distributed as the biological breeding experiment “Q” has come to its natural conclusions and the seed are cast back into the gene-pool…the in-marriage has more or less turned into something else.  Ahrekon. Noting that the epigenetic and mysterious “toughening” of a long tribulation has subsided for the Quakers… no more forcing of genetic subtleties. A minuscule eddy flowing away into the vast chemistry…which is more properly electro-chemestry, with spooky action, imho.

To the matter of “corporation”… indeed is this not a polite way to describe a racket? They meet and plan and operate almost entirely in secret, by law…under the cover of cunning lawyers, hitmenand bribes…calling Mr Epstein…  Thus as mafia US 1060 supplied many valued things and even provided benefit, they became a “licensed” arm of see eye eh… And, Luckup Corp building atomic bombs is not a racket… ?? In working days I never witnessed an honest deal…in sporting days I did…an inversion, if you like, or morals exist upside down in corrupt period of empire.

Overnight these conspiracies, the licensed ones, can be made and they can be unmade…it’s part of our more significant eddies(?) These conspiracies were hatched out from the European Peninsula, I believe, by accidents of geology, tin copper coal iron, and waves of diseases that periodically depopulate the zone and make tougher and more aggressive people (and they are rich due to their cohorts demise, hence capitalized) more numerous in this brief period…they are geographically set to become global pirate raider, ie Imperial – they have steel, smallpox, measles, and gun-powder…soon enough the chronometer and Newton…more tragic arc than anything else…like a dope fiend with limitless dope…an adventure that end in not a good way. Shall we consider a “corporation” to have the function of a syringe to a junky? 😉 I am inclined to think so.

The people would be happier if they had agency in their benefit over the conspiracies… Guess imacommie at heart, sympathetic anyway…  Best! P

Mr “b” @ MOA hosts a review and remarks in re “Sub-Imperial Power” , (Clinton Fernandes) A. Bertrand

(good essay, thoughtful topic)

excerpt> “something unique about US geopolitics, and that of Western colonial states before it, in that they have these extremely aggressive characteristics – the impulse to subjugate and pillage others – that actually often harm their security rather than safeguard it. And he explains this with the undue power the moneyed class has over the state in those systems of government. Which is hard to deny if one looks at things historically: for instance it is the East India Company that initiated the colonization and pillage of India, not the British state that only came afterwards to essentially pacify growing rebellion in India so as to perpetuate the ongoing pillage. Or take a more recent example: the war in Iraq”

(Hudson addresses this elsewhere in some depth!)

I note that people opine that one group or another is superior to “other” in context struggles Yemen and context struggles Palestine…(and I suppose Kenya, back in the day)…and this puzzles me, as many profess their views do not admit such possibly “tribal” or “racial” ideas. (I agree that it does appear to be true, Yemenis and Palestinian are tougher than their enemies) We wonder and consider that there may be subtleties of genetic response to tribulation over generations, a mechanism, or probably imho, several. Speculate that tough times shape, distort, the future generations in a way that in a snapshot of time, a moment that we live, seems to support wrong-headed racial theories. It’s more a matter of time scales, I bet. Peoples become what they must become, and there must be subtle ways that happens…cultural and biological? Heterogeneous global conditions and pressures force heterogeneous adaptations in a plastic structure…that we call ourselves.

Can we conceive of the animals (and the rest) as eddies in a vast riverain flood and flow of changing chemical life, within these eddies the third chimps occupy here and there for a brief time – and within this, the tiny micro eddies we see in this instant seem static, and look like “race” …. it’s a flow but because life is short we get a distorted view?

I have no solutions other than just be nice, polite and straight, stuff Mothers teach little kids…and stick up for your brothers.

So Ahbet.

They say there is a very popular line of Ruskie clothing, a blazoned upon which we see learned quotes from Comrade President. From these fragments we may prise out one particularly interesting > “Russia’s borders don’t end anywhere”, but all are worth considering. https://www.rt.com/pop-culture/587858-putin-merchandise-quotes-frenzy/

What does this mean?

Can our Chinese brothers not also say the same?

Ahsuspicion this> The foundational flaw in US History, the big contradiction of colonial enterprises generally, which we call “racism”… this characteristic, which may vary according to culture and custom, is, evidently manifest as “nazi” just now – this anachronistic defect has been very significantly mastered in Russia, and in China… and the natural drang is that this “de-nazification” shall extend to the zone west. I suspect this meaning from the quote> “Russia’s borders don’t end anywhere”…

Noting the color is red…

God bless you archeon.
