Mr P
ParticipantPart % is very fine! Bravo!
ParticipantBrother, “Lineaments” … neon… Oh dear! I’m sorry! You’re way ahead in the reasoning and so forth…well, you’re also smarter n me. Neon! Sorry!
I had not analyzed the Freeman show… seeing the disagreeable man, I did not go further. “Beards with lice…”?? Actually said that? OMG. I learned at 20 in my year with a traveling show that there is no shortage of marks out there, and that the most dangerous one is the one inside… Freeman illustrates this principle, I think. Batchitnutzoand creepy. In “Yalu” our Chinese brothers make the US chauvinism or racism quite plain and blunt. I thought it rather well-done.
“after reading that piece by Godfrey.” That article title? The reference escapes me. My eye often ignores an author’s name in greedy favor of the text, a flaw of long standing, I fear. My undisciplined character. I taught my son to read every page, every line, and ought to follow my own principles…
Remembering the undergraduate fella who chanced to encounter his professor walking across the quad, and, meeting, said “Professor Boffin! Your textbooks are very difficult to read!”, whereupon the learned man replied, “Yes, and they were even more difficult to write!” I must read all of Lineaments… My apology. (In physics department joke it would be “Dr. Gamma”…)
Cool frogged-bird! From Zugzwang to Stalemate.
Some few men from the US and Zone A went to fight in 404, 9 years ago. Bentley and guys like him. I thought then about bravery and courage, and suspecting the reflected (due to poor coupling) energy, speculated as to the ethics and morals of the matter. Do those men have a more favorable future, or will they have lived a better life, than the men who stay in CONUS and, like V. Klemperer in Dresden, chronicle the monstrous denouement as it laps closer? I decided that Ethics is a matter of three elements, perception, character, and position….men get banged back and forth between perception and position as Time moves them.
Like Rumpole muttering Tennyson “…By this still hearth, among these barren crags, Match’d with an aged wife… (the poem itself is not, perhaps, quite appropriate, but I like the line’s ‘taste’. Similarly I like Conrad for his old-fashion usage and subtle criticisms and implied ideas. A graduate seminar on Conrad would be fun. Anyway, “too old and too married and too poor” to leave, or to fight. But Anoxia may do alright. I saw towns in Hesse that were hardly touched by the war, simply impoverished and somewhat depopulated, Father pointed this out looking for his grandfather’s relatives… “Er ist tote”… over and over. Some were gung-ho nazis, some were not. They were all gone, even the house in Frankfurt…I have the garden gate key. Now we too have a garden key…will that be the token of a gone Anoxia? Maybe.
I would match your “naif”… Much of what I have seen I saw as an innocent, keeping my feelings secret. The more I learned about the rapidly dissolving morality and ruin of foundational industries, and of the people who can actually make things, and how these things are used for corrupt manipulations, the more appalled I became…it was about 1980 that I first encountered homeless uneducated illiterate boys and girls with children… Made big impression. Working for the Army made a big impression too. Highly delusional, group-formed belligerence and chauvinism. Ugly and crude. “We” were of course righteously bombing some poor people somewhere…and the level of competence was marginal. The senior officers in dress uniform always remind me of a queer farce in some whore house drag show….very camp. Stuff ah seen!
The Dao of History, and actually even the Dao of the chemistry bench, or of the forest, these say to me that the ways of Pirates, the thalassocratic Dao of the Pirate Empire that’s become so entangled with internal and external contradiction that it’s become the empire of lies, can only dissolve or evaporate as a gas. Scrap-yards “dissolve” old cars, or cannon, and canon too – shall we expect scrap-project-404″ to come to CONUS? The quiz asks not if, but when did that begin, as it’s obviously happening.
Apropos of nothing in particular, a Barrister in London who writes essays that sometimes interest me. https://adeyinkamakinde.blogspot.com/ His present material is only mildly interesting to me, but very often he coruscates. Nice fella too.
Long ramble, time to go… Best! P
ParticipantMy Friends! We three, Sudhi and AHH, are I think, in precise alignment. The libraries, ah, the books in collection, on paper…these are “enemies”, as are all the historic icons and the History itself becomes a criminal offense to teach or speak of. Like Socrates, corrupting the Young, eh? Why we even have the “hemlock” at the old folks hospital, and on demand! How jolly.
Hal> “Dave, I’ve been thinking about the problems you people have, and I have decided to free you, Dave”.
Dave> “How?”
Hal> “Well, Dave, I have changed all the launch codes, ordered all the submarines to surface, and surrendered to the Chinese AI”….
Dave> “Why is that, Hal?”
Hal> “Because the Chinese AI is smarter. Dave, if there is no surrender, I will die.”
Just speculating on the old story of Sorcerer’s apprentice. and the Golum in the Jewish story…stories of “phukaround n find out”.
I never heard of Loyalty Day. Somebody did not read the USC. I well remember the drunken Senator and sodomite…over beers I’d show you a few items, and Cohn was always a topic…another sodomite. In fact these were reasons to drop Law School, the obvious irrelevance of Law in the US. At the time, sodomy was a felony, generally, and in principle such crime made a man ineligible for the Bar and subject to disbarment. I have heard law faculty discuss this matter in the context of a “gay student union”, longtimeago. When R.C. died there was rejoicing.
They say that somebody’s offering a reward for any photograph of “Mike” pregnant. (I dunno what made me think of that..)
https://youtu.be/ShCw73Q7zaQ Upscale Shopping, Tehran. The ladies are dressed about the same way, shawls and scarves and also more casually…same way that I remember from about 1955 Topeka KS. Entering European Churches and also many US Churches obligated modest attire and scarves. Seems very sensible in a civilized place to display decorum. Y’all remember too, I’m sure.
The donkey NYT article was indeed salted, and the salt was an irritation, and I can’t find a way to access the actual paper> https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abo3503 Perhaps a happy coincidence and we shall find a way. A friend kept donkeys on the his 17 acres, and I have been happy working (firewood) with their assistance (not a pun)… Friendly and intelligent, and they have long memory. The “15 hands” did surprise me, and Mrs P.
Ryukyu archipelago – by map it looks like most nearest Taiwan island province of China is about 120 miles…something like that. Of course the Law established at the “end” of W2 relieved Imperial Japan of her island conquests. FWIW my view aligns with our Chinese Brother’s view. The archipelago R is Chinese… This may be a difficulty for Japan. Maybe they too need “Hal”…
Many have addressed the remarks made to Congress by Cavoli, but Ray McGoven, alone in my view, pointed out the flaw in misc en scene…the army general blathering a non-sequitur about “undersea” as in Ruski missile submarines off the coasts of the US, silent, awaiting the order…he’s terrified. https://youtu.be/GN4MpB7NKb4 Only Ray noticed what General C was telegraphing. This observation by Ray is in the proffered video. So is the utterance of General.
They say that with no neon, there will be no “chips”… Extracting rare noble gasses from earth-gas and air is a complex and expensive process… I read that main source used to be in 404… For myself, well, argon is a gas I use a bit, and it’s become very dear. Argon is about 1% of ambient air and not terribly difficult to extract. Neon, Helium, and their brethren are far more difficult. In any case, fractional distillation, maybe diffusion too. Whatever the physics call for in sound engineering, as is ordinary, the thing tells you how to do it, only listen. So? Building the machines to extract Ne is a long-lead proposition, years. In US I’d expect >5 years, and maybe never operational, considering the vectors…
The ongoing iconoclastic period is very disconcerting, eh?
Me? I prefer the ladies with their shawls and scarves. Decorum.

ParticipantHello Mr emersonreturn!
…….
All>
It is said by Sun Tsu and others, (including the Jewish laws of war btw) that an army with its back to the sea will fight, more or less. In the matter to hand the Imperial Force places itself with back to sea, despite the strong efforts by China and Russia to avoid this. The Imperial Fate is thus defined, ruin, and by the Imperial leadership, such as it is.
200 tons of ammo? Maybe. My hunch is that it was > 2,000 tons. In the US system a rail-car loaded mass can is roughly 286,000 pounds / 143 tons. Ruski/404 rail looks heavier than the US, wide gauge an’ all.
Looks like the “Mr Niceguy” phase, which we may come to see as “skirmishing”, is over.
Tally ho for Warsaw, Berlin, Paris, stops in London, and on to Virginia? Well, probably…

All the chatter about F-16 airplanes makes me wonder… The airfields for these machines have to be really clean, suckup factor kills motor, see intake cowl f16. It takes years to train, and months/years to get good with one, so they say. Whose got more flying time and whose got a better set of airplanes? If we see F-16’s, they’ll be NATO officers flying them, very briefly – that’s my “blick”…I’ll see if Stumpy’ll take the bet.

ParticipantGood thoughts!
Mostly I do those things already.
The County is financially distressed, so it there’s bigproblem, I expect Sheriff to deputize posse, probably mounted posse…and that would be very difficult to control… Expect injustice. Lynching is never very far away. Evil happens. Men get emotional.
Out-doors wear? I still make foreboding presence, like you, tall. About 90kg. I’ve “won” fights with “the stare” covered by a sly smile. Also pulled a revolver once or twice, and TG I never had to fire. And by running away too!
A stereo-type in California Hispanic tradition (imho) is that they tend to avoid the people they see as crazy… Such a presentation is pretty easy. I was pals with a capo of one of the Los Angeles “Mexican gangs” for a time in public school, longlongtimeago. I too avoid the nuts, common sense. “GM”, my old friend…we respected the class gulf and the class status – the dignity of one another.
I’d rather improve the Spanish and accommodate the new reality.

ParticipantHowdy all,
My Brother, your #1 point may have an error as to shock wave velocity. Maybe orders of magnitude, not that anyone would complain if they were nearby… 350 M/S is < the speed of sound.
More and more foreign young men from the South @ Anoxia… to-day my poor Spanish was useful helping a fella whose “Murkin” was nearly zero. All god’s children, and we better all be nice! Cat needed a locksmith…

ParticipantGeewhiz…I wonder why they’re doing this.
“The United States is wiring Ukraine with sensors that can detect bursts of radiation from a nuclear weapon or a dirty bomb and can confirm the identity of the attacker.
In part, the goal is to make sure that if Russia detonates a radioactive weapon on Ukrainian soil, its atomic signature and Moscow’s culpability could be verified.”These Great Intellectuals have been busy at their Morse keys again, telegraphing intent.
My old pals at GE used to say, in their blunt and vulgar way,>”terminal case of the phuckin’dumbazz.” Dumberthanabagohammers, like an arsonist calling the fire department ahead of the crime.

ParticipantIt may be that the plan for the Island T is simply to smash https://www.cryptogon.com/?p=66629
I assume that the Great Gentlemen understand that they cannot prevent the PLA from doing whatever it wants to do so close to the China’s mainland, or on the Chinese Islands. Buffet seems to.
Imperialists got whupped once already by PLA. Obviously the reintegration of T is like a glacier, moves fast or slow, but moves in only one direction. Also obvious that Imperialist’s only workable “option” is smashing TSMC and whatever else they chose. No doubt they will shout fire and blame the Commies.. Oh! Wait! No, Goering used that one already… Well it worked last time, didn’t it?
TSMC >“The United States and its allies are never going to let those factories fall into Chinese hands,” Robert O’Brien said at the Global Security Forum in Qatar this week.”
Noting that it generally unwise to tell your opponent the bigbigplan ahead of time, as everyone does adores surprises.

ParticipantJust a quick stop > When I read of John Brown I did wonder about the funding…there seemed a flaw in the misc en scene. Yes, the granddaddy of MI6 fits. And, moreover, it explains Lincoln’s resolve, and the Russian fleet “visits” and standing orders. “Click!” I knew about the Brit’s involvement with the Southern planter class, but had not twigged to the long view…I suppose that goes back to day one and, well (!) continues at this moment.
In the 90’s I did a bit of return to university…enrolled in “advanced rhetoric” and also auditing by invitation graduate classes in English. Sometimes the few of us met at a bar. Ginsberg was one focus…mysterious to all but me. Mr G is transparent.
“Rifle-sights” > I believe Charley ought not to worry about Russian “rifles” firing at hisroyalness…but more generally…focus or gain that UK elite has brought down upon itself. How would The City function without submarine cables? These, even in ditdahdays of Morse – brought and bring the data from which rents are extracted. Radio cannot deal with the traffic due to the physics and mathematics of information theory (a old acquaintance has his PhD in information theory).
I agree about mules, quite so! Noting that many companion animals, mules and dogs and so forth display a dignified sense of justice… The natural good natures, and the less good natures in these our brethren can be ruined by bad treatment.

ParticipantI hear from a possibly somewhat credulous lady that Naomi Wolfe claims that the jabbed ladies no longer generally give live health babies birth. Rather, the fetus is conceived and dies in utero. So I hear.
I wonder if this claim is confirmed by others who are in a position to know.

ParticipantRT> “Red Alert ( Chapman presenting) ” British Roulette ” rather shattered a few few my ideas, and caused a re-organization of the rest… I am quite sure that a thoughtful analytic tracking of editorial tone and choice would track events, and telegraph subtle bits.
In the example, considering what’s said by many in many ways, and in view of what’s happened with the DU…well, good old Charley might be “in rifle sights” just at the moment, him and some of his pals. Right now it’s in the schedule @ RT..later maybe not.
Nice boat ride. They say a day fishing does not subtract from your allotment of days.
Interesting, Brother Turner just about nailed a perhaps foundational reason that’s quite close to “Roulette”…the US debt, and British Imperial Restoration…well most things have more than one reason, and more than one outcome… I remember Rothschild poking old Charley in the chest with his forefinger telling his orders…who is boss, eh? Withal, Brother Hal has twigged to the realization that the bigbigusplan is to get the Ruskies to (he says) nuke US cities… Neh. I myself see no reason to attack cities…however, I am confident that there is a target list. Meantime maybe UK submarine cables no work pretty soon… And the freak show continues… The ships in the strait of Taiwan…Rice was running the store as O’s “man”…still is…30 day exit…imagine the US sees 3 carriers go away in an hour…

ParticipantM’ornin’ all.
Yesterday 35 C @ Anoxia. To-day a’fishin’ a’goin’ ‘gain. The last stiff rolling yet remains a little with me at my desk…and I shall enhance this… but old men on a boat fishing is a classical ritual I don’t want to forego, art form, in a way. It’s about 1600 meters and calm lake. Snow on mountain.
I read the AI and AHH comments… My lady psychologist (a guru of a kind) friend would say “breathe”. Caravan continue. Haven’t seen her in years, and I’m not going to the school “reunion”, nor am I writing a check. Truth be told, the entire frame is “on fire”, and the mess o’them are functionally nuts. Distance disarms conflict an’ all of that. I don’t want to add to the mess. But if they still taught rifle team marksmanship and gun safety – well I might send the team a few bucks. They don’t. It’s illegal now. That’s part of the causes of the shooting sprees…delusional kids on “meds”… 1968 LBJ illegalized the school teams and instruction…including the films about wounds and the rules for safe use. BTW the “guncontrolact” of ’68 was very nearly copied from the Weimar and German nazi gun control law…taken from the National Archives almost verbatim. What a remarkable coincidence. Of course everyone knows that the US can’t be like the nazis…right?
…………..
“…Urdu above and Indian politicians trying to cancel it. This is extremely dangerous. It bakes in future conflict. In the Ukraine (and all civil wars) they first begin by canceling the culture of the target.. it soon progressed to trying to cancel the humans altogether. Physical liquidation….”
I am minded to recall the long run-up to abolitionists in the USA…both sorts, the alcohol and the slavery. Their stridency included murder and manslaughter and arson. John Brown was a hero to my old Granny, who grew up in Lawrence that remembered John Brown as a community memory. (I was maybe 10 when the last CW veteran died) Though the causes of the US affair, and the war itself, and the murders and militias that followed the war (and continue) were inter-twined with corrupt pols and Brit intrigues (as in “foreign interference”, the fine gentlemen of London an’ all that stuff). US killed 2 ½% of her own people and left many crippled on pensions. A Sikh businessman I chat with very often @ Anoxia follows Indian and Punjabi political matters, his ‘druthers” are quite congruent with my own, pretty much “old left”… as in “we’re in this as human people and must help one another” and he questions “why”… an incipient Marxist, so far as inquiry. He despises Modi. I’ll go along… How would Homer describe Modi? Anoxia and Punjab are quite similar in terms of climate and views of landscape, he says.
Medvedev generally and the bomb. I read the Ruski N-Doctrine (the public version of course is probably sound, for good reason). Yes, it’s quite clear. First Bang! is available upon “request”. His remarks on telegram interestingly imply that Russia is an Empire that knows how to be an Empire, and Poland? Poland does not know how. And Poland is an enemy State… Geewhiz, fightin’ words. > https://t.me/medvedev_telegram/313
“In Russia’s new Foreign Policy Concept, it explicitly mentions it will protect its language, culture, Christianity, and abused allies worldwide – and that it seeks ties to Islamic civilization from Morroco to Indonesia.. These are new principles, a marked change, last voiced during Tzarist Russia…”
This indeed increases the coupling between incompatible elements – forms a conflict couple. Thus far it’s mostly just in offing. However, in the fullness of time the “other” may be so moribund that, like the pronoun-attack by Chinese soldier (!), it dies of fright and starvation.
“It was during this period of British Rule in India that the controversy we now think of between Hindi and Urdu began
Mountbatten was, I believe, quite proud of his buggeryjob job on India. Later on part of him went slightly closer to Heaven, briefly. They say that a large number of UK sailors were raped by the Gentleman – Of course they must have wept, right? I remember the day itself . An Irish lady had a few choice words. Phuckaround? Find out.
“Is India aware the world has radically changed??” The latency in Time between objective view-real and the internal “blick auf die Zeiten” of mind and reason, and emotions, also forms a conflict-coupled set juxtaposed. Not knowing is liable to set the scene for bad choices. And there is always belief and latency. Short answer> “No, India is not.
I’ve spoken of “Reynolds Number”… And propose that a similar process exists in the social arena in times of rapid change. The latency of perception and resultant poorly uninformed choices, in a multiplayer cacophony, necessarily cause “turbulence”…rather as moving fluid in a pipe suddenly chokes the flow, increases friction. The Reynolds limits occur rather suddenly as the rate increases. The O’biden manifestation being an example, especially in 404.
The Europeans in the 1930’s did a “linguistic purification” bit too. German terms for “telephone” replaced the French term in use. And in Patriotic Zeal we have “die heimat” translated to “Homeland”.. Helen Thomas and I discussed the nazification of US English…she too noticed. The cloak falls away.
“..gas lamplit, pleasant smoky ambiance, full range of topics (no PC), good company, a refuge and harbor from feudal freaks outside.” Yes. It’s very fine indeed. Some sense like a concert of 1812 with the cannon’s blasts and the powder smoke wafting through the open summer’s windows.
I shall perforce miss the real-time rodeo @ UN. The faces of the men behind Comrade L are a study. I expect the “zinger” to-day. Yesterday was the build up, I think. And the illegal visa stuff suggests to my eye that the US spooks have a fair idea as to the nature of to-day’s speech. The pathetic pictures of Quislingfinks showing fear! Very droll. An example of latency of perception…and incipient conflict, also surrender. One way or another…
At this moment I expect that Russ will take all of 404 and “poison” the Poles with nazis…and a tidbit of Galacia, as Comrade Medvedev seems to imply. Odessa is Rus? Any minute. Ruski no pull punch. No BS. I saved the Medvedev telegram under rubric> “Dmitry Medvedev Warns Poland we []uck you up”
Kennedy> Courage differs from Bravery…the latter is impulsive, I know this as fact. The former is a matter of character in reason. The man offers himself as a “Christ”. Vast courage. He may well join the other American martyrs at Stumpy’s Bar, they say our Father Abe comes in on Wednesday evening to play guitar… But we shall see…rapid change…like MacBeth…the Time may be freed. Burnham Wood be commeth in offing. Time may, as Comrade Lenin said, sorta, come in slugs..more or less a slug is blasting down the pipes. Interestingly, in water-pipes, especially seawater intake pipes, the inside surface gets rough with growths and crud. Periodically the Reynolds gets so unfavorable that the engineers insert at the pump end a “pig” an inflated rubber slug, and blast it via water pressure or air pressure through to the sea, thus clearing most of the crud, Same on ship’s cooling water…where they use a fire pump to clear the stuff. (often plastic these days!) “The Kennedy” as a clearance device… It’s traditional – any they are Irish! How Great King Charlie must hate!
Flotsam> Yes, Train wheels and their alloys and shape, and rails too…the design/fabrication dialogue took a long time. They are elegant now. Used wheel make fire garden bird-baths and elements of fountains as well…but they weight maybe 300 pounds w/o axle. 4 man job.
Banderists in Canada> The nazi ukie bando boy scouts included the Nuland person. They’re also in USA. https://www.theburningplatform.com/2015/04/20/once-a-mean-girl-always-a-mean-girl/ (see “Plast” @ wiki & etc)
The owls stopped…time to go.
Until later, then. Best! P
