Bribery… longtimeago with bigbigcompany I was in position to drink with both buyer and seller. For a while it was fun. Many bribes were offered. Not a boy scout or saint, and also strongly averse to entering into a stupid criminal relationship with men I rather liked… so I never did. Mayor LaGuardia, formerly iirc, bigboss city purchasing dept… gave good advice for men when they’re offered a bribe… “If you hesitate you’re saying you’ll do it. After that it’s a question of how much.”  I have probably muddled the quote, but the Mayor was right. So? So I asked a powerful rich “seller” how the business of bribes was done…I might have been 28… He said, simple, make happy chatter and let him speak, after a while he’ll tell you what he wants, sex? No problem, what sort how often? Money? No problem, whatever he wants I get 1/2, and I tell him that. Some guys straight out request a bribe. He had a clan of beautiful whores for a while as sales girls…but it got out of hand, he said. I bet it did! Had a vast villa in San Marino richphukneighborhood.  I miss the fella.

What happened to German nazis in W2 Africa … well, funny question. After messing about in terrible death dancing with Brit and Yank, Afrika Korps surrendered and went to the USA. No kidding. Of course many died first, trail markers, and not all of them stayed in the US. The prequel to Paperclip. The other nazis in Africa? South African weirdos imho, – well, they went on changing clothes until they ran the country for, what 45 years, and it’s said they built atomic bombs…even tested one or two with their nazis pals from the “Middle East” Vela incident. I knew a Canadian fella that danced the Afrika Korps under Montgomery – said Monty was “intensely disliked and incompetent”

The “missile crisis, and the attack at Bahía de Cochinos and the embargo were seen by many as guaranteeing the Revolution by solidifying support, and removing revanchists and fascists. May it also be so for Niger and for Africa. I am sure it will be.  There is always a price, and fighting is sometimes the coin. Brave men. Bless them.

Just a note about Korea and the nice airplanes… see https://peacemaker.un.org/sites/peacemaker.un.org/files/KP%2BKR_530727_AgreementConcerningMilitaryArmistice.pdf

specifically art II, para 13, section “c” and section “d”.

The way that reads out, the parties have agreed that modernization of equipment in zone K is prohibited since 27 July 1953. That means Sherman tanks and M1 rifles, F86 sabre jets and MiG 15, Mosin Nagant bolt action rifles (some made before 1900!)

These things, if the agreement were observed, would be available, mostly, either from special-built factories that do not exist, or from museums.

In view of the actual modernization, the “agreement” is self-evidently a mere pause. From the standpoint of those aspiring to hold the pivots of Heartland in Zone K,  l’accord de 1953 permet à la guerre de continuer

404 > Calling 404 a State was not, is not, the same as 404 being a State. In a sense can it be that this error accounts for the conflict, misapprehension being a foundational principle of creating conflict? The case, I believe, for holding the view that 404 has never been a sovereign state, is a strong one.

…………………….

The recent events and statements from Rus with regard to Zone 404 and its future speak, to me anyway, whispers of what must follow the encapsulation of the Zone, what must take place outside the Zone. It being a highly dubious enterprise to “fix” 404 without also arranging certain matters outside…such as the expose of the germlabprogram implies very clearly. No fixum 404 without also fixum the entire “machine”.

This may dovetail to note/question of ahh> “is it single-minded demonic spite to kill off Rummy’s “Old Europe,” or part of the unsaid negotiations with Russkie?? Russkie will be asking for the proverbial pound of flesh in return for what was/is forced to endure in 404… why not a gram or two of Sahara-grilled filet mignon as a preliminary offering of penance? As USUK are beaten back to their island bastions, so the Eurocrazies back to their resource-poor peninsula — the risible British Commonwealth and Françafrique both to be flushed down the toilet!”

A broken “garden” presents the option of fixin’ it. In Europe, and everywhere it needs weeding. In this process it seems that it’s the poor management of US Policies that create the opportunities to fix the Russian “near abroad” and indeed, to set the post war scene. This may take decades, but it moves very fast just now, eh?

The propaganda this day from “BBC in America”alarmed me a bit.

live feed that Anoxia gets> https://www.ijpr.org/  (see “all streams”, see BBC )

(see the site )>https://www.americanpublicmedia.org/ that flogs all sorts of funny stuff)

An historian analyzing the rhetoric and “factual matter” that this agency of occult or grey province insinuates into the aethers creates a vast illusion. In W2 the Brits had a (then) vast enterprise doing the same thing, but that was then ,right? Ahem. The W2 job was aimed at the top German leadership, much by turned spies, some by maskirovka, some by radio. This time the target is also the enemy, the westpeoples, deplorables, mostly. Nobody else is stupid enough to buy into the rot.

The alarm? Well “Ruski is facing defeat and it is feared…”   …and so forth…more strident that any I have previously heard.

Lies always tell, after a while. Thinking Brit is rabid, more rabid than yanklandjunta. Maybe Brit send sapper with gadget blame evil Ruski… Senile cat get big ‘sprize?

The BBC US paints a vast picture of inconsistencies and lies totally a tapestry the raveling and constant plaster over in/of which will surely bring very sudden change, – one way or another.

Raisins usually take 24 hours in home kitchen dehydrator. This is >14 hours dry > fresh ripe Thompson . Cauldron water that’s 0.2% NaOH @ >85C. 30 seconds. quench tap water STP, submerge then in cauldron @ STP water with 0.2% citric acid. In preparing the solutions, NaOH is  dissolved in 500 cc distilled water. Same citric. Don’t mix ’em, duh! Use different saucepans. NaOH even in .2% will irritate skin, wear safety glasses. The taste is actually improved. Vacuum seal. Glass jars. Ambrosiated food.

Hal, obligingly, recounted last night how the political police for whom he worked asked him to applaud the murder of a judge on his (then?) website…in order to identify, to call out, the defective criminals and in order to achieve some [political] objective of his employers, such as entrapment, and we assume, finding more informers…looks nice on the cop weekly activity report, eh?  He said this before he went on to say “newsie” stuff. I thought this most honest, in the funny ways of things. Understand, for me it’s a cynical amusement, nothing he says is anything but salted, even when there’s meat. What interests me is the audience and the implied agendas. I listen to WW2 broadcasts, and real time radio chatter and ham radio chatter for similar reasons. Listening, not suspending disbelief, with the skeptical editorial eye/ear… speaking of… Bear in mind that I live in the world, but not much “of the world”… it’s all history for me. It’s not “political”, not in the least. Old Candide?

I agree that Lira did outline a transmission principle, as he defined it. What I have in mind….not same, maybe similar. general principle, not specific case (See PNP NPN transistors) Carrier, as a passive “hole”…   Estrangement/time being in the nature of a machine, a telegraph, that can materialize effects in the future.  (prayer for the gonzo)

It’s a developing idea. Example: Granny grew up in (mostly) honest earned wealth before the empire, Grand Tour honeymoon in pre-w1 Europe and northern Africa. This lady passed to me the pre-imperial memories. (her observations did not accord with the canon of my school days) Now then, some 120-140 years later, in the fuzzy sense of time’s memories, hers exist juxtaposed to now in her grandson. Since 1900, or so, and in fits, ebbs, starts, and episodes of increasing frequency, terrible fast Change. Much by violence. The result is that a carrier transmitted shared (or even individual) memories in proportion to median age and rate of change etc (there’s an equation I bet)…transmitted quietly with no evident effect, really no physical existence, no deliberate purpose, transported estrangement through time.

So? That’s another line, but it seems reasonable to expect that some people might be motivated by the “delta” ‘tween memory and now. They might act, possibly in lard way, probably in small ways… If so, then the carrier would be said to have released its cargo. I note than in times of slow change, this manifestation is a stabilizing feature in human groups, while in times of rapid change it births conflict and sometimes violence.

I want to re-read Uncle Karl on his definitions…maybe this is old stuff. The canon says there are four kinds. It seems that there is, as well, a “meta estrangement” or a 5th kind. It’s unclear to me if this is #5 or a meta. Old fella grey cells slow, and whimsical too..but Karl’s estrangements are all immediate… so I’m tending to the view that there is a “magical” meta-estrangement principle that is running so hot just now that the wires are burning, so to say. I think in Global South Peoples this “E-telegraph” is white hot, no pun implied!

Note that transmission of estrangement by film, fake memories, undermines the natural “tribal” transmission. Is case for “censorship” a variable and proportional discretion guided by custom and informed logic… perhaps as my Friend AHH applies to “Naked Lunch” and so on. But the argument is bidirectional, even though non symmetrical.

Withal, I’ll make a few jottings…we’ll see if it’s interesting.

John Pelletier gets sworn in today alongside Deputy Chief Charles Hank III.

Pelletier already laid out budget priority requests, which include the establishment of a dedicated civilian recruiter; creation of a part time cold case team; and creation of a patrol K-9 program.

Pelletier has served the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department for the past 22 years in numerous capacities. He oversaw the K-9 and SWAT units and served as commander of the Convention Center Area Command, which is responsible for the Las Vegas “strip.” – – – …ncident commander for the One October mass casualty event in Las Vegas. His Deputy Chief selection, Hank, was also part of the command for the incident and provided after-action presentations across the country on preventing, responding to, and mitigating similar active shooter events.”

A  dynamic duo and charming couple… sterling fellows, who could possibly doubt their dedication to selfless service? I not that the establishment of a network of doggie sniffers of crime, and somewhat simian “civilian” agents, and a “part time” cold case department of snooping into dirt on everybody via, w assume, “forensics”… How very regrettable the coincidental (obvious) crime wave of mysterious arson. Pity…
