Yes, Greeting Brother an’ Friends, There’s a term in the Rabbinical lexicon for discovering a legal path ’round a difficult Law, but I don’t recall it…

Juntas> Hudson, iirc, reminds us that the original meaning of tyrant was that tyranny was the necessary phase ending aristocracy and introducing popular rule… more or less. If that’s about right, then it’s “Junta”, but it means the same thing, the transition phase, which may take a long time, and may fail, and reoccur…

Speaking of Junta> What legal principle authorizes “EU” to send army to BF, or anywhere, and what army?

I used to wonder why the great land empires were now building vast navies. That was a silly question, I think. (he wrote rhetorically ) Shall we have a “Battle of the Chesapeake?” A “Salamis”? Where, precisely, is a pirate gang defeated? Just thoughts.

Vague legalistic memory of the UNSC and the “Korean War” within the compass of the UNC. From the hip and shooting a bit wild > memory, after all.

The situation at UNC after the fascist Korean army invaded the turf of the Communist Korean Army, the fascists had their bigbigplan fubared by the commies and went and cried to the UN. China was “represented” at UNSC by fascist Chinese, to which USSR objected, naturally. Understanding the UNSC procedural rules of UNSC was that a 100% quorum was prerequisite to voting to take action, USSR did not attend. Arguably, then (and in my own view) the UNSC vote was taken illegally. Thus the entire matter of the so-called “Korean War” – as the derivative of a crime (illegal vote) , the US and its allies making war on Korea (and China), all the dependent actions since are highly questionable as these constitute a continuation of the original, ongoing, crime.

Evidently Comrade Kim has a similar opinion. His opinion, however, is supported by a powerful military and social establishment smackdab on the Asiatic geopolitical axis.

There’s a story about Kim…maybe true. He and his Father and their small circle were in some spendy place on the Med playing on the beach with jetski and such, and young Kim questioned this luxury – he knew how the People worked and lived in severe circumstance…the juxtaposition bothered him. (Me too, btw.) I have the idea that Kim is a good able ruler, a moral man…with Korean characteristics. (!) That’s to say toolsteeltough.

(at the creation of both the UN and later NATO one of the legal questions was the common understanding of the UNC, which many men assumed prohibited bilateral military treaties. The common understanding (and I think Dean Acheson wrote about this “impediment”) was that such legal matters were prohibited unless they were via the UN. That understanding went poof longtimeago. )

All from the hip… subject to hearty criticism.

I note that when poor people become rich, they tend to excess… as Korea is about to rapidly become by degrees “rich”, Comrade Kim and his circle are going to have a serious moral challenge over the next few years. Sudden wealth is perhaps a very dangerous process.

” so who’s in charge if neither the inadequate political generals nor the intemperate and miseducated pols?”   (below)

It was sloppy of me to leave “double” out, or perhaps telling with a slant for fun. It worked! 😉  You caught the ringer!  But seriously, Ripper was well-read, self-educated in any direction that suited him…whence came the dialogue in re Clemenceau?… well now you’ve touched my curiosity … it may be, as perhaps we both suspect, that the Ripper apology, his presentation critical of Clemenceau and the fellas, was ad lib. I believe much of the final film was ad lib dialogue. Like Rip sez, pols are not competent to play with infernal agency. Although I’d heard the apology many times, it never occurred to me that it was from Ripper’s gut, or that it was probably either ad lib or hammered out over whisky, quasi ad lib, sorta. Theater, yougottabethere… There’s a Rumpole on this… “Show Folk” all about dressup and fake it. Very queer, speaking of Mike…

(forgive me please ! I get a kick out of non-sequitur transitions and double entendre )

As global-antinazi coordinates, the counterpoised turbulence in nzaiHQ heats to boil, as it must, since it’s an “ionic couple” – like it or not, one Earth, after all… Thus below>

Notes> Stone and others say Mike is the next prez with the VP “for sale” – suppose the bidding goes to the slick cat from California.

Speaking of slick cats> https://youtu.be/S3HnlgEC4sM Comrade Galloway seems to entertain the (gasp! Oh! Say it ain’t zo!) thought that Barky and Chef… well, something is wrong when two ( two ) chefs drown and the boss has indications of being in a fight, and the corpse has blunt force injuries… What would Sherlock say?

Note that boiling involves phase changes.

Who’s in charge> This question has long been in mind. I wrote a remark about the semantic shift from “teach” to “train”. Along with this shift we have “procedure” replacing Policy and judgement by the individual. If a fella, any apparatchik, “follows procedure” he’s absolved…never mind the dead kid, or whatever. And saving a life by non “approved” or “authorized” methods? Liable to gitchya arrested or involved in a legal mess.

General observation is that in collapse no one is in charge, people simply follow procedure and hope. Macgregor remarked recently in this respect that retreat is the most dangerous maneuver – obviously because no one is in charge…after all, who wants to take the blame…. https://youtu.be/HblPucwN-m0 (Sgt. Schultz – I Know Nothing) That leaves “structural logic” the vast complex vector sum of a universe of procedures…rather similar to an aircraft with no control?  It’s self-evident that the process is self-solving, just like the aircraft’s problem – it won’t last long.

(cop o tronic says that at village 15 klik from Anoxia a contretemps with some fella “pistol whipping” a car window (glass broke) and a spirited bunch of dope fiends. Friendly fellas! Wish the boys would leave the guns out of things, dangerously metastatic agents. And using one as a hammer is a low quality action…what if he broke his gun? Stupid! He may need it in working order pretty soon! The cops are sending reinforcements and the chopper… what a happy Sunday evening…)

Ripper. I was acquainted with his lawyer, and well remember when he took his kids, who were living with their mother, with Court permission, in his sail boat from Marin to Santa Barbara (Patron Saint of Gunners!). Circumstances vary at sea, and it is for the captain to judge the proper course. They went to Tahiti. Perhaps it was urgent. Sage opinion from on high was that the children were surely better off there, learning French and going to school than they would be without a father in Hollywood (or anywhere else)   https://www.sausalitohistoricalsociety.com/2019-columns/2019/6/26/sterling-haydens-tahiti-voyage

The French showed spine, and told the US Court to pizoff.

Ripper was a mighty independent fella. Genuine. Tragic. Heroic. Father and I sailed, once, Booth Bay, where Ripper lived for a time as a kid. One Summer I spent gunkholing ’round his old boyish haunts. The lobster fellas still ran one-lunger engines tatukkakatuckka….come over the surface mists.

Alas, Wanderer ist kaputski. Once the Gracie S, pilot schooner Frisco. Some sailboat!

River pilot… In the late 1980’s I spent much time afloat on big river. At night, softly turning the prop and slipping along with the exhaust rumble just a burble, and the horizon invisible since the stars’ reflection is nearly as bright as those in the heavens, sippin whisky from the coffee cup by the fathometer . Vertigo is prevented only by the compass light. Well, sometimes the fellas fishin’ along the bank took offense and sent one – I assume intended to miss. Everybody likes a telegraph, eh? Used to be, and maybe is, legal to take a pistol with the tackle when goin’ a fishin’. I suppose that’s tempting at 1 AM to a bored fisherman. Seems crazy to me… But it happens. As for Ripper, OMG the nazis flew over the route, and the partsans might not be your friend… he lived with the Yugoslavian Communists for a year… I doubt they carried and dead weight… aheeem.

The “sofrep” has a run down of details”

excerpt> (note Brit interference)

“…OSS had set up a smuggling operation using ships to provide food, weapons and other support to partisans fighting in Yugoslavia. Hayden, never one to mince words, described that operation as the first time he’d met OSS operatives who were actually doing a job. But the British Navy was hampering operations, something the Americans felt the British were trying to ensure they failed.

After being forced to move their operation further down the coast at Monopoli, the American commander was called to Cairo. Hayden/Hamilton went to Yugoslavia in his place, his motor quit and he paddled back to the mainland. He hooked up with Tito’s Communist partisans.

Hayden recalled “We hooked up with about thirty of the toughest bastards on earth. None of them had had a bath in years. All had been in the thick of the fighting and marching all up and down Bosnia and Croatia. They would only take one cigarette at a time, which they passed around in circles.”

The year he spent with Tito’s men left an indelible mark on him. “the crews of planes would leave their shoes, anything they could spare, with the Partisans . . . We knew they were Communists, we knew they had commissars, but there was very little discussion of that.”

Hayden was involved in several close calls during combat operations where one evaluation report said that he had a “reckless disregard of his own life.” His men were attacked by Stuka dive-bombers, he captured a German E-boat, their version of the American PT boats, they were ambushed by the Germans where his jeep driver was shot. He arranged for a rescue of 26 downed American airmen, including 11 nurses who were forced down in German-held Albania by engine trouble…”

Mr Simplicius > mobilization article. Long. I ran fast through. I formed opinion. Russia intends to mobilize until they don’t need to. They evidently, imho, are coming to view that they may be obliged by circumstances to send large force to naziwestHQ and points west of that HQ. You may recall that I have long held that view…probable circumstances may call for such projection, wearing boots. That’s not what Mr S says, mind you, but my opinion of the matter, partially based on his article. Mr S, imho, tends to confirm my ideas. Evidently our Ruskie Brothers desires options. If necessary what ? 5 million? Not overnight though, and maybe never… It’s going to require a lot of men.

Kennedy…….. now being attacked via ad hominem – in part focused on fornication. But the propagandists show him shirtless, handsome, attractive…with the obvious result that ladies will appraise this, and be sympathetic rather than offended… all of which tells or suggests the character of the speaker is of a low or “abnormal” nature, aheem. I note that the clan Kennedy is known for a healthy exuberance in respect to both good looks and a sporting disposition. As an implied counterpoise to the globablhomo agenda, his tomcattin’ will work to his advantage. “Michelles” are of no interest…

Ibrahim Traoré ( your > https://nitter.net/apocalypseos/status/1685093260887539712#m) is imho precisely correct, courageous, and smart…and so, as the Commandante did, he ought to keep his gun by his side for the rest of his life. Fidel favored the .45 APC, they say.

ahh, a clarification> “these two peoples” was a sloppy way to put myself, it was intended to refer to the Korean people and to the African people, although it’s awkward to say since one refers to a single natio and the other to a multitude in a vast continent.

Yes, the symbolism of Comrade Shoigu in dress uniform alongside his Korean counterpart is thrilling > implications beyond imagination! All the pirates’ napalm did was make our Korean Brothers into steel.

Thanks! > Very cool map Rhine-Danube gunrun… I cannot imagine this came as a bigbig surprise, between Doctor Electron and Comrade “Stierlitz”… well, longshoremen see all sorts of funny things. Von Luckner hints that he, working for Imperial German Naval Intelligence as saboteur, used to get such work, and secret in the cargoes demolition devices and also of course, make reports. Merchant seamen, whores, bars…there are no secrets. One might speculate, since the long river run must be piloted, what the several pilots know of their cargoes as they navigate the system… iirc, explosives and ammunition cargoes require flagging…and somebody’s license, and many insurance policies, might be in peril if the regulations were ignored, and there were to be an accidental collision and subsequent “Halifax” event. Naturally, “accident” can happen…
