Dear Friend Sudhi…

“If the main purpose of any air defense (AD) system, including the Patriot SAM, is to destroy incoming missiles, then the new generation AD systems would be built around algorithms capable of intercepting hypersonic missiles”…

They say “Patriot” design was to shoot at aircraft. The calculations necessary for intercept are necessarily slow, I am told, because they involve fractions, which base 2 has to estimate. That’s above my pay grade, but I have had discussions about it with a competent mathematician and computer fella, who used to work for some sort of airplane company…I forget when and what he did, maybe I did not know…

It’s always going to be more advantageous to shoot down in a gravity well of 1 G, as opposed to shooting upwards. @ https://archive.org/details/TheMoonIsAHarshMistress_201701  In the text of the crpto-fascist story the advantage of shooting down, rather that up, is discussed.

I agree though, that the machine logic can’t be fast if there’s a human involved in a “switching mode” saying shoot or no shoot.

IMHO Mach times 10 can probably be doubled, if necessary, or tripled. Similar improvements in AD would have to be energy beams, or magic.

They say that in the 404 matter Rus has escalation dominance. That makes the AD Patriot just a dangerous target set, like the rest of the nazi scrapmetal, and the nazis themselves.

Yes Brother! Don’t do dope… many people learn this sooner than the pictured examples of people who are still studying, so to say! Many of my old youthful cohort were fast learners! And some were not. It’s a walk in the danger zone, and a willful submission – not good. It’s also “political”, the Rockefeller Drug Laws being crafted deliberately to result,in concert with enhanced supplies, in the removal of targeted “demographic groups” from the political arena, via incarceration and removal of civil right to vote, and having the effect of supercharging the city gangs. More recently, the “un-measurable and unknowable potions being flogged to  die unnötigen Menschen.

…………..The Patriot AD firing the entire battery in rapid sequence, whether by design or protocol, or by panic – (which are good questions!) had the effect of minimizing secondary explosions.

……………amarynth> Yes, the doc puts it very nicely. The political effects are pregnant with dramatic cascade over many years.

………………..It would be interesting to make a list of the many congregations ’round Anoxia and make a policy of attending services at each, in sequence, and writing a brief precis of each sermon…taking the realpolitik pulse of a rural West Coast village. An anthology of the moment, as it’s perceived (or at least spoken of) in the eyes of the preachers. I note that the idea that Religions are not political is silly…at least so far as I have observed.

Recalling “Seventeen Seconds of Spring and the intrepid Comrade Stierlitz, It seems that the KGB had an agent that looks vaguely familiar… evidently it was necessary to let Stierlitz know about Crimea, hence the face to face… Enjoy!

an addendum…the perhaps mysterious fella G Duff has penned a paper that may well be substantially true. “Wilful Ignorance has…” https://archive.ph/PlrY5

I may be that a club exists that the mark can check into, but never leave, not alive anyway.

It’s obvious.

How you know who’s who… Old Soviet understanding of the little fella… a famous poster, and honest! I hope nobody minds. ……………….I suppose it’s Soviet copyright, of which I am uninformed. But I doubt there’s a problem.

Poem (hereby I relinquish copyright)

Under the Sun and the Moon

The River Meniscus forms a Delta

The Estuary that flow to the ice-dark depth curves up

Warm-’round the piercing rocks and lappings.

There it gives Birth

In grateful counterpoise to death’s abyss.

That is the introduction to a story> Sunday Morning’s Eucharist. Unpublished, except in a reading I did longtimeago.

Searching for the old drawings, I found a picture of Mrs P at 38, a stunner! Stuff yafind!

Just a thought, not particularly new. Assuming that the imperial thalassocratic manifestation of the bellicose people of the European peninsula and it’s archipelagoes is a “civilization” – and it does have civilizational aspects  – what then is the central quality or defining character? To what urge does it submit itself?

Recalling the two little fellas, well three or four if we count Winston And Harry, do these men represent an expression of character…and let us not forget Hawaii or the Mexican war… if so shall we not remeber the core of English is Germanic…and since we have to-day yet another exotic manifestation display, shall we not claim ” dringen in, drang nach, drang” (penetrate into, the urge to, urge)

Is “drangen” the core quality of the Anglosaxon period? Maybe the core is revealed as the civilization decays. Perhaps the contradictions feed the wolf aspect and it grew.

Not particularly new, I mean the little fella with the campy mustache said it first, but he was under orders and acting as agent of the pirate cryptonazi bosses, was he not?

The Phil in Donbass shabby job is “fair use”, I think. Bits from here and there…and thus “original”, imho. The cards were mailed to a few friends.

Best! P

Just a sample I was able to find…some may be lost, some on paper…I want to scrounge around.  I think I have 5 or 6. Never really thought to save.

Serbia shoot> However these kids are manipulated it’s evident that nazi HQ West dictates that the punishments will continue until Serbian attitude improves. Or until Red Army makes adjustments to nazi attitude. This may take a while.

One year I did the Phil-the-groundhog casting a morning shadow of VVP upon a boulder. Only one fella twigged. Groundhog day card tradition began with a pal of my grandfather’s, and I never send “holiday” cards. A bohemian and cynical, and vaguely heretical act, reminding that the entire routine is humanity welcoming Spring and rebirth, and ignoring the commercial cant of americandecadentxmasswhatevers.

Previously a freepress “radical” old left paper published by a professor I knew asked me for cartoons, and I drew a few, 30 years ago…about the time they rigged the Oklahoma gag.

I don’t know how to post images… Guess I could mail them, or learn how to post properly. Mrs P has great facility with the ‘putermachines. I am sure she has all the Phil images. But I haven’t drawn anything but technical stuff for over a year. Like Heinlein said, if you can draw it you know how to build it, or some such. I’ll see if I can find the Phil-shadow “issue”. It, at least, is “political”.

………………….

I understand that the shooting sprees are a product of the psychotropic treatments of already depressed young men, who would be far, far, better off running laps and bucking bales of hay. You’ll recall the Simpson’s “Focusin” episode… An obvious racket, since the assays are never spoken of by propagandafinks aka media. Instead the people who did not do it get blamed…
