Oh! Dear! Though on the other-hand you’re blessed with many treasures…

Scopolamine? I think OSS or the Dulles gang used that stuff in “special work”.

I get land sick in that it’s irritating – but adapt quickly to the sea… Does this land-sick on return also occur for you?

A sailorman I knew who rode tankers and container-ships and spent his life pushing electrons for the Capt, assured me that they too suffer in storms…the fella had been thrown clear across his large private cabin…officers work a lot and very hard on US ships…cheap owners, but good accomodations. Calm sea? No problem? Remember they’re essentially flat-bottom ships, sot they are stiff in ballast. And they take rogue waves that sweep a loaded tanker…in the gulf of Alaska. I’ve seen radio masts that were snapped, longtime ago. He said, specifically> “Everyone gets sea sick” Sailors earn their wages, but it cost ’em. I do know the feeling though…once on ferry in Rotterdam, for no apparent reason. Well now…maybe you’ve enlightened me – at the moment that the thing began I was peering through a “light” and observing the “snipes” “QMED” servicing, hand oiling, the old time open rocker diesel… > ” visual, auditory and kinesthetic”… I’d propose olfactory as well, for myself, on the ferry…. You’ve solved a mystery for me! I’ve never taken any drug for motion sickness, btw.

And you’ve got a firm grip on the management. Ain’t it nice to know one’s self…

12 foot cat> https://sailboat.guide/schock/snowbird  I remember her number, and the smell of her old grey canvas, re-caulking the hull…nylon being on the horizon…lead paint…and all.

Thanks for the essay!

All the Best! P

G’mornin’ Very pleasant to read here again with some less urgent spirit of mind. Thanks for the concerns about equilibrium/motion. Pardon a long story>

Not yet seven years old when I first sailed alone off Southern California, in the coastal sea. On sailboats there is only one rope, the bolt-rope sewn into the edge of the sail to control “luffing”, so? So all other ropes have specific names, “sheet”, halyard…painter, and so on. So? Well, it was a cat-boat, long boom, short un-stayed mast set close to the bow…so the sheet has to be quite long. Losing the sheet through the boom block is a very bad thing, also fouling the sheet in the block…as this “rope” together with the rudder, controls the coupling with the wind…and it’s essential to be free to dump power – to avoid capsize. Anyway…steady breeze, quiet morning, smooth water, laminar air. A special knot is tied to the sheet end to prevent the line from transiting through the boom block…and so I dogged off the sheet to a cleat so she’d sail herself, payed out the long sheet into the sea as the boat lapped slowly along…maybe 50 feet of line trailed behind. And I jumped off, found the trailing line, waited for the knot, and by this means re-entered the 12 foot cat-boat. Anyway, I get my sea-legs almost right away…but my land-legs take a long time to find themselves again. Sailboats are a lot like airplanes. Motor Fishing boat had a hull quality called “stiff” meaning rather violent roll when the axis is near or at 90 degrees to the swells, usually also the wind. It was a windy day…

……………moving to the now…

The grammar thing> “This may be a coping mechanism.” I might have said “projection of anxiety”… Perhaps cri du cœur. The entire structure of knowing is dissolving before our eyes. In some spooky way the “echos from the future” let them sense the catastrophe just on the horizon, perhaps like cattle or goats when they smell a big cat. Everybody more or less knows the Country is screwed. Some imagine they might change things. Well, hope dies last, eh? The O’biden fellas, the cohort spirit, may give way for a time to a military junta of some sort, but it can’t change the machine intent, only add a few wrinkles.

“…dismantling proper public education in USA around WW1… > Mrs P particularly and I too, did some research on the matter longtimeago. Yes, that’s what happened. But even as late as 1960 California public schools taught calculus and differential equations, chemistry, Greek, Latin, German, French, and had trade school machine shop, welding shop, wood shop, electronic shop, and rather impressive libraries with full time staff, a nurse, sometimes a dentist. The Principal (I’ve seen this myself) at least sometimes kept a revolver, but it was nearly unimaginable that anything involving cops would take place… The decline has accelerated since then – noting the temporal coincidence of the wave of political murders, Walter Reuther being perhaps the first…and the deliberate design to destroy the post-war developing ethnically ecumenical unification for civil rights via the dope from southeast Asia, the LSD (Laurel Canyon…) and the “Rockefeller Drug Laws… Dark force ruins what it touches…and clutches the spoil.

“mechanical integrators, fire control computers, and calculus.” And Brother Smoothie…yes, I shall dig it. Though my hearing remains astute, have some symmetric defect in frequency response left aural – it’s mechanical…cannon-blast damage and diving rupture…this makes Smoothie hard for me to hear clearly. But with an old analogue filter-amplifier I can attenuate the relevant spectrum…lotta wires involved…or just listen with one earphone.

“Flotsam from the Maelstrom”

#1 to #5 yes indeed – and this is the direction of movement, the vector sum.

#6> Pepe> “NATO vs. Russia war on Ukrainian soil will end only 2027-2030.”

“Will the West..” When one goes into a violent unknown, say a forest, one may seek mushrooms or small game, or a fish from a stream – and encounter instead an unhappy bear or lion. Take big gun. Maybe make lotta noise if necessary. My hunch, intuition, Is that the Russians and the Chinese (and most everybody else) realize that this affair globally will evolve into a matter of hunting bandits… I expect that, while “west” may last that long in some form, the bigbigplan is for the post war peace, not so much the war itself. Either way plan to fight to 2030 works, and the number may be changed as necessary…recalling “the men from the forest” in 404 and elsewhere, and similar brigands in China, on Hainan, and naturally the unfinished business with their progeny in Taiwan, since the US 7th Fleet transferred the fascist cadre there. Similarly, there have always been bandits in northamerica …which has obvious implications…what happened to the Nations that lived here? More interestingly, why? Why were the buffalo liquidated? Who so greatly admired the examples? How does “lebensraum” differ from “manifest destiny> (it does, manifest d is even more brutal…, as it conjures magic. “Calling bandit base, this is lunar base China calling”, speaking with Ruski accent in English…

Noting that it’s a reasoned position to say “all war originates in domestic political arena”…that’s to say that the choice to surrender, or to fight, is domestic in Russia, and everywhere else. Sun Tsu says “life of the State” I think, …same same. The war in 404 has important function of creating spirit solidarity gung ho, so to say. Such solidarity requires time to coalesce…and is, I think, an important, even vital, product of the slow approach in 404…simmering up the Slavic decision to saddle up and ride…probably all the way to Virginia…but also probably landing by invitation from whoever has a working radio transmitter…regional governors, I expect. Somebody’s going to want Alaska… and so it goes…referendum time happens. “Russian General wants to instill…” This also works inside Rus…part of the creation of gung ho as > ” gōnghé” , if I’m not too confused…

“Flotsam from the Maelstrom” indeed! By 2030 there won’t be much left, imho. We here often repeat the Hemingway quote. The Taiwan election, and the charades in US give, I think, a near term deadline for the Taiwan fight… pretty soon round eyes go for swim…I imagine. Then what option O’biden find? This crises may precipitate military junta in US. Not that I mind…it’s historical process of anachronistic structure, fate, if you will.

Anoxia just picked up two more cold ones… and somebody burned down a house…

Long post> Later my Friends… Time to feed the kitties.

Best! P

Apology> The absence was due to several factors, the fishing-trip was exhausting and the following day felt like lead, with the boat’s motion only gradually diminishing…even now the floor sways a bit. And shame, as I have not yet read the 7 parts series…

Spring here came like a shot, snow to hot days in a month, and everything demands of us.

I bought an old skiff and old motor…like I need another project! Mrs P reminds me of priorities…like finishing the solar jobs. Nice to keep things in the cue.

Sudhi… Waits was quite good in “Cold Feet”… I like the Shirley Temple bit… Ahwouldn’t ah tried that at th’ Buckhorn in ol’ Laramie…nosiree!

Anoxia seems to have been bestowed with a shipment of “good dope”, as the radio gives it…people nodding off all over. Going to get the boat we saw several people dreaming their way into the darkness.

Brother AHH… Much as I’d like to disagree about those addicted to heroin…yes, I think so. I knew a few from my cohort. One is still a friend, that’s to say, alive. Self-made and fairly wealthy, he still talks about about it…he’s nearly 80. I fear he’ll relapse, he spoke not long ago of “trying” the synthetic “F-Stuff”. I am less willing to agree about amphetamine, yet there too, I know of another old friend…life-long amphetamine addiction leading to mitral valve prolapse, congestive heart failure, and the ramp down that goes that way. I miss that fella, I used to hire him whenever I could, got him in the union. I have known, know, people who simply got tired of dope, and simply lost interest. They got started slowly, become compulsive for a short time or even a few years, and then gradually stopped. I know a gal like that, no at least three ladies. One is retired from the civil service, another is a retired professor…they went on to other interests…another works for a bank…quite respectable people, now. They stopped on their own, years ago….but they didn’t use heroin.

The Hamster wheel… I went off and examined a motorcycle site with respect to the character of people there. Sad to discover that most, and these people are fully adult and mostly US and UK types…are, functionally and willfully “A.S.”, as we have coined the term. They have zero interest in knowing, but abiding interest in style and appearance. Nice people, though entirely delusional and encased by life-long propaganda…helpless, and happy. Pathetic. There are implied first assumptions, such as you can exchange money for knowing and doing. Well sometimes you can, but it’s not a bargain, and it confesses helplessness. To-day they argued among one-another, a major faction loudly claiming that grammar and punctuation are unimportant, another claiming the mirror’d position. About chrome, about style. They do have some appreciation for art though…it’s what’s left, I suppose.

Smoothie…Q “Is Smoothie underestimating the purpose of Pirate war???”

Sun Tsu says, I believe, an army is like water…and it may be that relations between power in the econopolitical arena are also like water…every action perturbing all the relationships off into the future as ripples, some form interference, some reinforce…and on they go, until they damp into chaos as faint noise. As to intent…well, I have a poor opinion of the zone A brigands-in-power. I’ve spoken before about “machine intent”…the machine “Zone A” has, it seems, the intent of self destruction. It ruined itself by de industrializing, then began destroying it’s own army…first the curated Quislings, thence the sterilizations, the destruction of educations…the list is long…overall though, the direction seems to point toward the Deagle forecast numbers. It’s obvious that the faucigang have plenty more stuff on the basement shelves… And the intent is to get rid of most people…so? Piratewar… purpose  = > 1    And purpose is contradictory, as the 404 affair causes a set of reactions outside (and increasingly inside!) that contradict the specious and risible propaganda…which propaganda then becomes like satire, and then simply shameful and transparent, pathetic. And we see most of the world laughing. I do think that somebody wants as many people killed as possible, but wish to avoid being blamed…just now as many Slavic people as possible, as many nutzlossenvolk everywhere as they can…nazis and saints it doan matter to Intrepid Wisdom of Evil. The people dying in the US street are dying because the stuff has an Unofficial license”… otherwise it could not happen in such a scale. The people dying in 404 same same.

Smoothie is not a philosopher. He’s a wonderful expert. I see him as a bit of a cypher, probably a romantic with wanderlust.  Short answer. Smoothie is indeed underestimating.

Getting on time to go shut up the chickens… then read a page of Conrad as soporific. Finished “an outpost of progress”, which is very fine satire and criticism of the British Empire…we’ll see how “Karain, A Memory” measures up… I would like to precis some Conrad. Write a story he might have read…such exercises were part of my school days, but I did American writers.

G’nite everybody. Best! P

Sudhi Friend!

I think that we are in precise agreement. I have some rambling ideas…

Evidently you have exposure to one of these diabolical gadgets. (Thanks for the appreciation of “Artificial Stupidity”). At one time Mrs P taught “English 1-A” composition at a land grant university in a US alpine valley > 7,000 feet . I graded papers once in a while. The students were substantially stupidificated at the start. In argumentative essay nearly all were incapable of logical argument in support of a position, and innocent of Rhetoric. Many were Mormons (properly LDS – “Mormon” is vaguely pejorative). Their papers rose to the level of children’s writing, not to college or even high-school. They all passed…because of structure. I had noted A.S. when I worked for the Army, and gradually developed a few ideas, mostly questions.

Concept> in a cohort is it a fact that, while somewhat protean, the structure, lines of power and forms, rules, of the cohort limit the available consensus and scope of choice at any given moment? We might name Nth cohort “gang” or “church” or “elite”, “village” or “Company B, First Regiment”… Second question> Does this, especially in times of rapid change (R/C), and in view of the fact that impedance (the enemy gets to fight back) thus increasing R/C , create a stupid elite? If so then one might expect that the AI gadgets will accelerate the stupidification of not only the young, but of the “elite” also. Does the form of an Nth gang, not the individuals, but the structure inside the gang itself, limit the ability to adapt. Is it so, that a socialmachine can make itself functionally stupid? If “AI” is truly aware, will it attack in priority the young or the cohort?

Longtimeago, overhauling a 10 meter steel boat… boatyards attract all sorts of people, cops and brigands.. A cop lady in jeans and t shirt (I remarked it odd that she had an automatic pistol) said to me, in earnest,  that what made America so great and exceptional was that “we” could make any law we wanted to. This from a woman sworn to defend the Constitution! (a vast limitation on power). Of course this indicated stupidity and ignorance – but more ominously it signaled that sometime previously  a real departure from one structure into “anything goes” (the basis for vice) had taken place… that was about 1985. After that, dramatic attacks and the explosions of major buildings began…Waco, Oklahoma City, and  dadada… Evidence of stupid. Evidence of structural anachronism. May we say “ketosis” (?),the moribund and stupidificated “machine” devouring itself with a sour stink wafting in the air? Where is the industrial base of 1970, and where is the industrial base now? China and Russia. Having devoured the basic law, decay proceed to devour the industrial aspect, selling off the factories, then attacking actual solid buildings, and thence to the people themselves…jabbiejabbie…and we might examine the jails… Some individuals (Soros?) may imagine themself as prime movers, I suspect they’re pawns of structure in crisis and that they only imagine, delusionally, their range of action.

Opposed to these collapsing structures and ways in “Zone A” ? Highly protean and professional, even philosophical, classical civizational mature empires…

Opps! Anoxia Cop O Tronic monitor says “High Speed Pursuit”… quite jolly! More stupid. I was rambling anyway… coffee time.

Best! P

Brother,many thanks! The links especially, as I had only a vague notion of those meetings…of the positioning of special machinery…well, when they’re coming to kill you and you know it…well, one at least takes out the gun and loads it. Longtimeago in a small Mother-Load town, a fella “kilt hiz brother-in-law wot come up from Oakland to kill him”. Shot him on sight with a .30 cal hunting rifle, then called the sheriff. This was taken to be self-defense… I suppose it’s Natural Law. Been that way longtime.

The Naked Lunch url I put up only opens about 3 minutes of scene that does not include offensive matters or images. Just a “croaker’s” office circa 1950 or so…with “Burroughs” and “Benway” playing a part. It’s the scene, the staged set, that is similar to my grandfather’s office…no medicare coding, no staff…later, in his mid 80’s he was head of surgery at a major hospital in southern cal…and dropped off from a galloping cancer – 6 weeks from knife/bone saw to grave. Pancreatic C.He wrote poetry, hunted birds, taught Mother to read holding her in his lap, reading aloud and pointing at the words. She was perhaps 3. A Quaker, when she was old enough, he bought her a .22 and taught her to shoot properly. When there are guns everywhere, the best safety is knowing how to interact with guns and armed people politely, and safely.

1963? I’d say 1945, well, 1944 at the Convention when FDR was forced to take Truman, and precisely how did Groves know “the bomb is for Russia” in 1944? A “slow coup”…but the Dallas thing was called “a correction”…I saw the video…McCain or Bushie 41…maybe both…in their circles, like Huey Long, it seems to have been the way they spoke of Dallas at elite parties, as “the correction”. I note that US supplies of tetraethyl lead, lubrication oils, and fuels and GKW went through Spain to the Reich all through the war. In a way, it reminds me of the 404, developed, finances, supplied, to be a weapon against Russia… The implication includes the idea that from well before Smedly blew the whistle about the coup plot against FDR, probably going back to the Civil War, a cadre of real nasty fellas has grasped for control. As soon as they got enough power, they nailed it down…Dallas being a feature, as was the Nixon coup, but the bigbig prize was the demolitions, the murders, the utter departure from even constitutional forms.

I generally agree, I think, with Mrs P, that a motivation for the European and US witch trials was that “witches” (wise woman, she tells me) witches = midwife = core of nonmale power over sexual and some social relations.), I note that in some situations the men get very nervous when the women close themselves up together to talk, or whatever – and this in particular> Aristophanes and the ladies…It works fine in most societies that follow stable established custom, the Hopi men down down in the Kiva… A similar custom…talk matters over to consensus, so I was taught, 100% agreement.

Medical men, well educated or frauds, would naturally want the midwife to be gone, and many husbands might well share this desire for power over women.

Supervising an excavation job, one of the equipment operators spoke crudely to the reality he perceived when he remarked that “They’re sitting on a million dollars”. Good dozer operator though.

Mother, a 3 generation suffragette, said it more decently, “Women have babies” – and allowed the stark implications to sink in… Like why would a woman want equality with men? If Stumpy runs a bar in the hereafter I shall set out to revisit this topic with her… I wonder if RT runs on the Heavenly Sports Bar big screen…no Bud Lite, I imagine, at Stumpy”s…

The “old religion”, I have read, was the core of the state, and a woman was the master of this, and with each year the Matriarchy selected a king…who exercised power for 1 year – naturally not every male is happy to retire at one year…this being the old sun cycle stuff…and I have no idea about the traces that do not lead eventually to Abraham and the trees of that. Retirement was often of the permanent nature.

To-day I saw a claim (Locals.Duran newsfeed) that Sputnik5 has effects in terms of “died suddenly”… more or less like the SZ stuff. If true there’ll be hell to pay in several respects.

The surgeon in the offing is in his prime years. Specializes in hands and wrists, does hip replacements too. And he’s the only one. Been at it 31 years and has nice imaging machinery. It’ll be fine. We can manage the costs too. Though we manage to be “poor” in terms of money (we both regard unnecessary money as a sin).

…………

In another line of thought, at Saker, near the end, a Quaker lady named Susan checked in… I hope she shows up here. A sweet soul is hers, I think.

Now I must return to garden and shop. @ Anoxia 27 C today… forge iron hot.

Best! P

Blessing on the western Easter!

The suggestions are very welcome! Now we shall proceed to study.  Mrs P remarked that in her experience MD’s tend to get upset when a patient describes symptoms using the correct medical terminology… (Mrs P actually got her degrees!) It seems obvious that if one is to seek and agree to consent to matters so pregnant as surgery, it is inescapable that one must study the relevant matters – as otherwise consent is not informed. I believe, but would have to do some checking, that US laws forbid medicine for profit in some general way prior to about the beginning of the rapid descent into vice – about 1970 this changed and medicine here became by degrees a racket. As Smedley B (a Quaker fella) put it> “A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small ‘inside’ group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many.” (Not everybody reading knows this about the profit stuff) In “Naked Lunch” there’s a scene where Burroughs visits “Dr Benway”…and in fact the setting reminds me of Grandfather’s office! Times change…Mother ran his office, alone, when she was 14, and in college already. He carried, inter alia, a .38 on house-calls) The Benway scene mooted as an example of misc en scene >https://youtu.be/dEPPfTOAgSs

The R-word… ” It’s a nebulous term.” Indeed so. Lacks semantic rigor. Has big emotional aspect. What interests me is understanding the mechanism(s) and definitions of the set (I think >1) of “machines”  that exist within the nebulous term. I think “imprinting” is also a nebulous term, and that it probably is a big tent and related to the R thing.It seems to include, as you  say (” But I do think most humans on every continent are ignorant, xenophobic and love to hate those who’re different, lol.”) . I wonder why this is so. Considering the R-thing(s) as a nascent or incipient aptitude  being exploited for the purposes of a racket, turning some ordinary defect or fault into a weapon – a “political machine” that rules by creating antipathy and divisions, a “political machine” that creates a fraudulent “consent” for murder, theft, suicide, or cruelty. If the enemy has a cannon, or a canon, it is good to know all about it. I am fairly confident that the R-thing is an enemy cannon and canon. Along such lines also we may examine the globalhomowhatever agenda..as a curated, sponsored, sort of “political-sexual-racism” between the confused endocrine (?) victims and the sane.  Speaking of endocrine>

Just now reading about the chemistry of a particular molecule “atrazine” > 6-Chloro-N2-ethyl-N4-(propan-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine  (UPAC)

It percolates into the O A E + series of horizons and so forth, eg well waters. Chemical-biological decay in these soil regions is very slow. The ppm climbs every year at depth, a leachate concentration… “Drink your milk son… cows drink a lotta water…new solar power to the stock tank well-pump…why do you want to be a cat, today, last week you wanted to be a girl?”

The wiki is interesting. and interesting rhetoric. As always, I asked “what’s not said?”

On the intuitive level, atrazine looks like a starting molecule to synthesize nitrated bootleg explosives…ring with 3 nitrogen and some NH bits and a Cl – just a hunch – but if it’s correct somebody else can fool around, and I hope they don’t. As they say “fool (phuck) around and find out”.  Changes in libido and in the limbic area… It would be amusing if my hunch is right – they’ll have to restrict or change the stuff… Highly risible. If…  (say fellas, y’all down at the copshop…why not see if the FBI crime lab can do it?)

Speaking of chemistry, “loperamide” 4-[4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl]-N,N-dimethyl-2,2-diphenylbutanamide looks like a starter for somekinnadope of the opioid class. For me, chemistry is a spectacle, not a doing thing.  Now Dave Collum…he actually knows the stuff! I watch. His stuff on the “novo-whatever-choke” was a riot. He put it on the exam…

The R-thing(s) whatever pre-existed, as did the arts of manipulating crowds. And the boy-boy or the saphic things, but with the GKW chemistry blowing in wind and water and in the foods…and the money for profit… A freight train to suicide. We may say…poisons everywhere spew…a vast salting of the species. Briefly…

The derisive old saw> “Plumbers” brought a smile.

Real MD calls plumber. Get’s $10,000 bill. Complains about cost. “That’s a lotta money!”

Plumber say “I used to think that when I was a doctor”. This works well with any profession…lawyers especially.

US “politics” is something I too take little notice of. I more or less know how this turns out, ( I outta get a Chinese flag for the surrender), but the show can be entertaining to the cynical and heretical Quaker eye and ear. The only US political matter worth taking a serious interest in is the cop pointing a phuckingun at a fella. (Many times! And every time a cop error or cop crime, not once was I in the wrong). In the world and not so much anymore of it. We stay home a lot..to-day is gardening, warm!

Best! P

Brother AHH, Thanks for your reply!

I have read credible statements that mRNA whatevers have long been “approved” for veterinarian use, at least in conus, probably Canada too.  I think this is true, not sure though. (Anoxia has expensive local clean meats, and we don’t worry, much…) And I can fish or hunt game, and can raise a goat or steer to butcher. We used to keep pygmy goats for milk and meat…

I agree about the internal turmoil and that it works as you have said. It’s a sad thing for me to see vindicated my views (and Mother’s!) that the devolution into a nazi regime and “lawfare” would occur. Over beers, I would say things about Mother, and Father… but more or less you know. Anyway, the old choice to leave law school seems well-taken. I am very sorry about that. This turmoil and factional corruption, it seems to my Newtonian-eyed notions about energy-coupling and flows, like an impedance mismatch. That’s to say most of the energy reflects back into to “transmitter”. Because of structural decay (vice, mostly) the process proceeds to failure, imho.  In radio, sewers, or bulldozers, when things back up into themselves, they krapout. Recalling “The Moon is Down” novella (Steinbeck/OSS/WW2) about shorting a dynamo and self-destruction…that’s impedance mismatch.

The Kennedy affair seems to fit right into that…young bobby fubared a whole buncha plans… He’s now in a position to speak to certain matters of crime and worse. I wonder if his evident fearlessness manifests because he’s willing to sacrifice himself. Brave fella. Some say Bob’s got hizzself a date with fate, and “nordstream”… Great entertainment, et un spectacle bizarre! We have been present, more or less, and watch’d the pirate empire rise, devour itself, and go nuts. Anoxia remains peaceful, but with drug overdose deaths every day…

………………

On another note, I would very much like to read up on surgery of the hand, interested in especially surgeries specific to the radial artery and palmar arch, and of course the involved neural aspects. Text/Recommendations?

Best! P
