Thanks kindly. Yes,the secondary after-effects of the crime will, as you noted, be great intimidation. That also creates or brings forth actions in other ways, as we see has developed in Palestine…but the process is slow. And it summons cops and spies to dig and pry and decoy the bad fellas (or the good fellas) into revealing themselves. And other after-effects too> After Dallas, for example, the illegal gun laws were passed – iirc copied fairly closely from the translated Weimar Gun Law in the Library of Congress.

Coma… minds me of All Things Bright and Beautiful, xtr 30 and the sick ewe, and 31 the sick poodle.

My Freudian suitability rate… of course I thought survive-ability.  Still, the slip works pretty well!

Apropos of history and reliable machines…………Lube oil… On the WW1 and WW2 Liberty ships the “engine oil pump” had a 20 minute  (I was informed) job. He carried the oil to the oiling points, and poured it in by hand and eye at each point…thus inspecting every bit, and noting any excess or too slow drip drip drip, so to say. Then he repeated the pass, and so on, until his watch was relieved. The crank is open. There are little tubes and metering devices “lubricators” that have little windup crank…a skilled oiler-man…a cybernetic oil pump, if you will. In a rough sea, beam, on the job must have been a challenge. However noting that the engine axis is close to the center of roll, which is better than being aloft or on deck, and probably safer and warmer.

I’ve been aboard a Liberty in engine room when they lit off a boiler and brought the plant up…it takes hours before she’ll go ’round. First the engine is rocked by reversing back and forward, a little at a time, till she’s unstiff enough to roll clear over. In the Vietnam affair they actually used the old recip Liberty ships, at least a bit…verbal from a QMED (unlicensed, but qualified member engine department) who was amazed to have been dispatched to a “phuckin’ up and down”.

@ What’s Going on with Shipping>  Why Did Dali Lose Power in Baltimore? | NTSB Releases Preliminary Report   No need to bother with this video. The substance is that the main engine cannot run without the main generator set powering the lubricating pump and cooling water pump. They also cannot use the rudder w/o electrical power to the hydraulic pumps in rudder system. Ditto thruster. There are 4 diesel generators. And a small emergency genset. Interconnections abound. These gensets are high voltage 3 phase. Obviously the circuit breakers and so forth trip if limits are exceeded, such limit including synchronization, etc. Evidently a HV CB tripped. I’d guess transformer defect and/or CB defect and/or synchronization defect. It’s pretty clear that a material defect in systems existed. Speculation on my part is that the engine department concealed a problem they did not fully understand. I suspect that based on personal experience and especially on the El Paso LNG ship grounding @ Algeciras long time ago due to a boiler water level controller problem. (The story is that the Engine Department used channel locks to bash the unit until it worked, and kept this known defect/problem from a series of USCG inspections). That was an American crew, btw.

………….

In a classical steamship, both reciprocating and turbine, the lubrication system is designed to gravity flow such that a L.O. pump failure leaves something like 20 minutes of oil from a tank flowing happily to main engine. A CMA graduate marine engineer told me personally that this design was specifically to prevent loss of propulsion in a harbor or tight channel. Evidently, imho, increasing fuel economy requirements and various regulations have obviated that sound and basic principle. In classical diesel motorship the cooling and lube oil pumps are duplicated, these main pumps are gear driven from the main engine, and the electrically driven pumps are “auxiliary”.  Increasing complexity creates sinister machine death wish to manifest. The real fault imho is a mismatch between the grey matter and the unforgiving nature of complex machines, poor real-world design to squeeze out the last morsel of of rent extraction. Ultimately that mismatch exists as a delusion in being. A clock to fubar. It’s not a fixable problem within the present day way of things. They’ll probably blame the fellas who had nothing to do with the design and operating requirements. Probably somebody knew they had a problem they did not understand, and which brought consequences they did not anticipate. The skipper reported to the pilots that the ship was in good condition. He was mistaken… And let’s ask how long he’d have been employed if he’d said otherwise..and ask this also of the engine department.

Noting that zone 404 Ruskie advance, by doctrine-necessity, iiac, will be attended by waves of new Ruskie holding forces and logistics. Such forces are now train up, they say.

Our great intellectual guitar player…did he threaten the cokester “doan yew dare run away boy yew is the man (and the martyr to be in nazi propaganda)”.

Speaking of holding forces, these invite attack, do they not?

IIRC from 1950’s nukedoc the idea was to waste the enemy force with a tacnuk and then occupy his zone, etc. Speaking of Barbarossa, er, well, ahfergit. Catchem with their pants down would be the stratagem.    😉    Speaking of antique flyer F16…and special capabilities.

Recalling fat fella Mr Lie Cheat Steal & West Point ?? “We’re in a live exercise here…”

Looks pretty lively to me.

nazi propaganda is a part of the chronicle…remembering Simpson “prequel” we have now bigbig attempt to frighten the nutzlossenvolk of Europe.  https://www.bitchute.com/video/4c4zoSj6QY2o/   Maybe the nazis are being unrealistic, eh? Now where did I put that white flag, and, oh yes, that Soviet one we saved… 😉  2 vastly amusing minutes of fear… right.

Remarking that phrase …. are taught to dehumanize their enemies from a young age, all financed with American tax dollars…. might be by some thought to be somewhat misleading, inaccurate and, the trite part (tax dollars), particularly so. For the financing of this vast crime spree originates not from tax paid, but by debt undertaken by a nazi junta in the name of the people of America, in combination with rent extraction facilitated by servile foreign fascist outposts. Proposing the trite and possibly misleading phrase be replaced with the more nearly true and brutal “illegitimate debt” or other suitable similar forms. These debts, sage boffin of finance and Marxist Theory Comrade Hudson and others say, will never be paid. Remarking that “paid” is a slippery concept. Indeed, they may well be paid out in the destruction of the nazi nest, in kind, so to say, and very possibly at the order of courts trying the criminals. Last time the payments took place at the end of a rope, so people saw the settlement of debts…although many escaped the obligation, that time.
