Things happen when what everyone knows and was afraid (mostly) to say out loud, begin to speak… I don’t know how causative this is, it may be more a marker, anyway one straight talk…https://youtu.be/ibj7HZpzOhg  “you can’t talk of NATO and Peace in one sentence…” Julius Malema (of whom I have never before heard, I’m sorry to say.)

Astonishingly Brother Hal Turner to-night gives a solid outline of the actual real history and the details… Niger and Vickie-the Well-Nourished  and the crooked fascist ride war by war… A Fine Job Bother! He even mentions the smack dollars and Chicago and Niger dollarwashingcooks…the gas pipe…graft to the Big Guy even   Hal’s getting close to the bone. He had a non hysterical night. He may be a fink, and I’m glad he’s somewhere else, but I kinna like the cat.

(I think maybe Hal has overdone it… he has an audience. Recalling Orwell and the quote about telling truth…)

The visit to their old Territorial Sea Alaskazone by Reds, with their Chinese comrades amuses >  relevant old propaganda film https://youtu.be/ZbWeQPUWynA  Reds and Yanks as allies in W2 and at sea… worth watch imho. Evidently Great Naval Experts are unaware that Ruski Fleets occupied both US coasts to interfere with the British interference in the US political dispute known as the northern war of aggression…Anyway the film is interesting in terms of cinema-graphic character and style. Also Historic images. Good in silence first. Then with voice. It does not align with the mythic fogs of spume’d lies of to-day, eg not pc. BTW that series was presented endlessly on the new to all TV system in US…back in day. Formative then, forgotten now, mostly.

Sudhi, your Pushkin> Yes indeed. It may be that the best is to train up a system to create high quality leaders by design. Seems to me that’s essential; to identify the moral motivations of “students” and track the morally lesser into activities that do not reward their corrupt ambitions, but do reward…just keep them away from power and wealth, keep an eye on them…while of course promoting the selfless and capable…the quality people. A system to create “Putins”. It’s trying to grab at stability in a whirlwind… “aristocracy” is a tricky matter, who does not want rule by the best? The problem is to create the best and to get the best into position, and the notbest out of there and off running a forklift in a factory. Easy to say. Eh? I’d rather be a hand on the job. So would most people. That says something…about identifying the best.

Speaking of Great Leaders and Territorial Sea… did a bit of sleuthing and realized Admiralty Law is maybe mysterious to old cat… but it seems that  “territorial sea” or “territorial waters” is established according to the US view by “presidential decree”. That’s it. Lex Romae est quidquid dicitur. Potestas iudicat ius et iniuriam et dominium secundum possessionem. Or so to say. So? Smiling at the risible idea that the Taiwan Strait might become, very briefly, a US Territorial Sea according to some PCP-influenced, possibly with a line of coke…some  sort of contrived legalistic deceit. Wave the paper Joe.

adding > In one of the videos at https://maritime-executive.com/index.php/article/video-explosion-rips-through-turkish-grain-port    One can see the beginning of the destruction. Point of ignition. They say that the work underway was unloading 404 wheat from 404 ship to the silo… so? It’s unclear how the wheat was being handled…clam-shell bucket is one way…another is bucket elevator. Thence to belts and so on. Either way it is easily imagined that there was a mine amongst the material. So not only naziwheat, nazi ship, but also ship was unloading…and they say there are handy explosives rather easy to lay hands upon. Having run combines harvesting wheat in peaceful Kansas I judge it impossible that an explosive could have innocently got caught up without detonating in the harvesting machinery. However…

Yes, maybe accident, however that begs question, what’s an accident? In many aspects modern “large stationary machines” such as refineries, grain silos, power stations and most other nifty stuff reside at apex of a support base pyramid… These “machines” then have a foundation. Like Steinbeck’s “dynamo”, they wreck themselves – sometimes with no hand. Simply not doing dust control blower belt replacement might cause “accident”. btw in some machines the belts are special non-sparking…something as trivial as saving a dollar by buying the cheaper sorts is like tossing a match. I can’t imagine that the wrights at the locus in quo were well-paid and well-staffed, with everything ship-shape. Not competent repairs – I have been called in after fires and discovered cause was incorrect bearing replacement, for example, and called in other times and discovered cause was careless operation – not working…just letting it run and smoke to ignition-explosion.  Is not doing an accident? OSHA goes on about dust and housekeeping… so not doing…

At River longtimeago acquainted with fascistazzwhole retired arson cop. (He quit the police when SF bought cop cars sans cigarette lighter, which, he said, was previously used (generally on the face or nose) to enhance field-confessions from men and women he saw as contemptible  untervolk.) West to the cop part of the fire department.  So? This finefella said many times that about half of fires in his experience were arson. I myself return to the original question…

Even a small charge would if placed properly, deep I suppose) create a dust cloud, with secondary explosion. Two stage bangs happen… even inside large engines in ships…see http://machineryspaces.com/explosion-relief-valve.html  (these prevent, one hopes, the secondary bang)

I don’t buy “accident”.

Note Yellow Freight Lines in USA kaputski. That was a large dynamic machine, also on foundation of deteriorating stability. Accident and coincidences in supply occur not only in Turkey. (Since Rus needs thousands of truck drivers right now, we speculate that a few of the Yellow Freight drivers have some Russian… lotta fellas from India drive US trucks… highly amusing to imagine that in a year or two they’ll roll on Ruskieroads.) US cities are highly vulnerable to supply “accidents”. We might speculate as to why “infrastructure” is not maintained properly…bridges and railroads might be a place to investigate motivations to “postpone” repairs… Spooky action happens, but most stuff is by obvious agency…so not accident.

The perspective I get from the news and propaganda, together with a bit of background reading, leads me to see the present conflict as in phase “skirmish”, the resolution and post bellum conditions are, I think, years away. Deagel… And the actual LeMay… his theory of war was to kill the opponent until there were so few remaining that they could no longer fight back, iirc.  https://youtu.be/E1NV0MDXw7o  @ 00:36 +  and @ 3:29 “Buck, Honey, I’m not sleepy either” is a favote Mrs P likes very much!)

Yes, I saw Dima’s …

Oldfella opinion> 5G… note that graphine oxide is highly ferromagnetic, and sharp. Noting 5G is 24 to 47 GHz radio, my view is that the injected animal near transmitter-emitter would experience tissue damage due to the ferromagnetic molecules vibrating according to the physics of electronic coupling, rather like the “60 cycle hum” of a transformer in a battery charger or tube radio, or a shorted motor. Since these tiny bits are embedded, their movement would be damped by viscous nature of the flesh, and work would occur. Making heat…and also tearing…maybe even cavitation if the couple is good and the power level sufficient. Microscopic phase changes, given the assumed temperature and material, micro boiling perhaps, with the problem of gas formation in situ, like the bends for divers, perhaps. Note that this defines the general outline of a lab experiment with animal subjects… which would be easy even for a High School lab… so it’s been done. Bet on it.

Mrs P informs that she has read that typhus is now among the poor of Los Angeles. Dengue in Texas and Florida… first suppress immune, then…

…….drone-torpedoes > since they have navigation and control by relay and radio these have antennas and emit at least several watts from torpedo, at least often. There are therefore EW strategies to defend. However better torpedoes are easy, just more spendy. Note that the relay, the bird aloft, cannot be hidden, ahem. One may expect pesky uncooperative degenerate enemy will get his “shot-gun” and “eagle” will take one in the gut pretty soon, feathers an’ all. Reaping the reaper, so to say. A mere footnote in the History…

The Battle of Black Sea, then BoMed, thence Atlantic and Pacific! Just like the ol’ days! Only the imperial mind believes some silly things… 1, that they won W2, and 2, that they won because of the bomb. These false beliefs lead them to ruin against the forces that did win W2, the Red Armies. Now combined, with shiny new navies, and the best submarines in the world.

These days it hurts my head to do algebra…nevertheless>https://archive.ph/5ixBl These would be only general for the GHz, I expect…but the power transfer at high frequencies can be dramatic. Possible implications? Obvious.

………..We have ripe corn, variety “Papa’s Red”… a good solid commie corn. And beautiful!  And we got a pair of old bicycles…. in view of the tanker war… 😉 I have bearing change stuff to do on one…

Note that hegemonic submarine force is not maintainable due to shipyards’ inadequacies, age of boats, and the general de-industrialization of imperial base, inadequate personnel, etc. Note said “40%” not available for sea”.

Somebody at the Dew Drop was chattering about how evildictator could sink ships in imperial harbors… Well, I do suppose that’s a possibility… Like Ripper said, two can play…

Brother, All, remark> “…There is a qualitative escalation. Oil tankers… too m…”

Noting that naziwest is running out of ammunition, Comrade Ray (RT Crosstalk / 8 4 23 opined his fearful anticipation that the loser will use what’s left, eg (according to Ray) “mininukes” Noting that the smallest such machine is calculated at 500 tons of TNT, according to learned boffins. Like dope, one tiny error can lead to a miserable fubar, eh?

Is is not an elegant auto de fe that the Sea Pirate Empire has been maneuvered by circumstances to initiate the vast Sea Battle that, if hegemony is to be destroyed, must be defeated by Land? Indeed, fear not, as Comrade Medvedev wrote only yesterday “sic fata voluerunt” > “…What I fear, as seen in now attacking oil tankers, is scorched earth on the high seas (!!) I am eager to see Russian res…”

Recalling with wry amusement the revolver of Time and that Heaven loves tricks and gags and jokes…and a Rabbi story too. https://youtu.be/fSCWi0ivx9w?list=PLMOJ05TrdIZA7pNQa5YjrHuPIDPdHPIod

The battle at sea has been initiated by the sea people most vulnerable to defeat at sea, while yes indeed, as Winston starved India, this time far worse and global, probably.

Coffeetime…

That they deserve… well, that will lead them to defeat anyway. My few cohort are mostly combat vets. Not Stalingrad mind you, but they have been in the zone and expected to die, and got shot at…these fellas quit the service rather that countenance the queer stuff. Or even having women aboard…hound dogs being somewhat sporting and tending to disregard the imaginary red line ‘tween officer and enlisted, they rather quit than face court marshal over a trivial matter of “unauthorized” fornication aboard ship. All kidding aside, the foregoing is true. And they’re aghast at the queer stuff.

If a fella set out to destroy good order and discipline and a military organization, would it not be rational first to weaken it by divisive and incompetent policy? Maybe it’s spooky action, maybe design, maybe the drang of history, perhaps the stars…

Just thinkin’

Yes Brother, thanks. Heart’s ok. I feel an especial sympathy for Brother G. Note about motorcycle fatigue… the cat was not of clear mind, not after blasting 1,400 k on a bike. Not at 55, no way. Quite a bit older, yes, but after an hour on the highway I am DFD (done for day, not able to maintain situational response in good form). Comrade G had/has more money than I had, a lot more I think, but he’s in a jam like I coulddabin, some I slipped away from too. Both the Man G and the bike are iconic characters, imho. The war subsumes people. Sometimes they reappear. I see a distorted shadow, perhaps, of mine own. Spooky stuff. Whatever. Remembering The Big Sleep and the grafter-blackmail cat who got Sternwood once, so he tried it again… perhaps run rabbit is just to shake down more cash. It worked once…

Generally an enjoyable motorcycle ride is not much faster than you’d go on a bicycle. Blasting down the interstate is brutal.

My previous ( opinion) > Solarweathermagnet-o-sphere. Funny coincidences in history…Not all BS> https://youtu.be/tbxSAUD5BLY  Not limited to Milankovitch cycles. Climate CO2 racket and so forth… we’re down for a ride… and bovine flatulence ain’t why. Period of rapid change, like it or not. Recalling story> Year of the Jackpot and “Potiphar Breen” the statistician, and coincidences independent from any evident agency… simply put, the earth seems to exist in a highly variable position so far as extraterrestrial influence, physics. Not magic.

Thanks! for Things Fall Apart. I shall take a close look. These days I read more on paper. The toreadlist is endless.
