@ Anoxia the open cycle evap “swamp cooler” works pretty well, and it’s cheaper to run…the salts? Run overflow…to garden or pond.

In the old story from Pravda about VVP saying that the missiles back in Cuba… complex “Oak” was written of…as if that was the technical name of a missile system…but it isn’t. Not quite. This was a mystery.

Evidently Comrade was having in mind something to do with smoothie’s favorite flyer the TU160. If so, then yes, of course, the missiles are back…I do recall that at about that time they did fly one in to the Caribbean “unsinkable aircraft carrier”. Note that one such flying machine….

Garden day… Best! P

Usage> “Banana republic”… about the time that Bushie v Goreya was decided illegally by the Court, Andy Rooney did his routine on CBS “60 minutes” as a telephone skit… chatting with an imaginary foreigner. Brother Andy> “Yes, it is a lot like a banana republic…” and so forth. Anyway, since the label has been applied by august CBS, who am I to avoid it? This skit, tellingly, soon went poof. I applaud the re-election of whatever stooge the fascist junta proposes.  Let us exceed the paltry 81 million votes for the guy who campaigned by the basement! macht durch gefälschte Wahlen! https://youtu.be/_2WwxFMAynI (Big Muddy) Best!

As we know, industrial civilization runs on oxidation reactions. True whether it’s food or fuel or “energy” in the handy form of electric power. That this could take place is beyond words. Utterly insane. Mass murder in somewhat slow motion…gee! what’s that up ahead?

We had, I think, similar educations, up to a point. I never fit in very well. Fate released me from discipline too soon, and that made a difference. I became a sort of “anthropologist”…or Candide, present, and also a shadow. Interestingly, I think, Mother too had wanderlustic nature…full scholarship to Stanford at 16, a job, and a shared apartment in Palo Alto…only to accede to her father’s wishes and go home…in 1932, I think. Anyway, my roguish behavior was understood sympathetically. If Father had lived longer… well! I wonder about that. I wonder how much choice we really have.

The coal stations “de-commissioning” sounds like “scrapping”. If so, the machinery is probably lost to the fellas that buy old steam machines and re-sell them. Turbines get repurposed in canneries and such, for example I’ve installed marine Elliot turbines from ships to run tomatopaste pumps.  Anyway, no turning the plants back on, ever.

Funny powder… I have seen in acute amphetamine cases the dope fiend get so out of it that they forget where they put it, or just leave the stuff on the seat…you know. So? The kid lost his dope. Duh. Ahseenitafore. I have sent those guys home without a drug test. Once. Next time no more Mr Nice Guy…grow up! It worked ok.

Icemachine… Well they did it first…I guess. But Franklin did it in London iirc, ethanol evap. I shall savor the video! Thanks!

Meantime, fits and starts and I’m gaining on my solar project. Fuses and DC breakers. Boyscoutphysics. But bad choices in machine building can be lethal. Anoxia too may not have electricity, someday. Speaking of argon…I shall have to pay the cost.

what else to say?

If this were a soap opera we’d now have some criminal family running th’ banana republic. And such juntas tend to fall to military coup. I mean, they have the guns, right?

FA>FO reaction very interesting.

It may be that decision has been taken, specific plans in review. Such my gut whispers.

I do wonder if Comrade Medvedev does not read here, in “spare time”… If so… Well howdy !

Well, I took the oath. And keep it. But not blind. I think the US will be lost from the discipline of the nazi cadre and dissolve according to the “reagent” conditions – and “chemical” reactions. These take time…how “molar” is the soultion? (that’s a pun). How “hot”? 3 meals to riot….A violent and horrible process. Now, obviously, well begun. I expect it will go on, until it don’t. I hope they leave us here @ Anoxia alone. Maybe they will. Nobody can say. The cities are self-nuked already.

It seems that there is no US. What we see is simulacrum, a shadow. Persistence of image.

What they design to do to the world, will befall they themselves. Everybody knows. Most people are both optimistic and resigned to let the Fates roll, ’cause everybody knows they will. Of course individual “churches of ways of seeing”, tinted glasses…some of these are bald racist ideas, some are crazy, some are smart and decent, they vary, but everybody knows. We went a-drivin’ in the hinterlands to-day, and everybody waved hello…lambs and goats and some Brahma cattle. A smallish coyote. They all know they’re getting screwed…and enemy of my enemy is probably being thought….since they all know they’re being lied to.A neighbor, one Sunday, braced me with a warning that that in a few years we would have to defend our neighborhood again’ “Islamic Turrusts”…I gave him a beer. It’s in the air, we’re phucked…we just don’t know how badly or which special ways. Hereabout, the native families and the whites from the gold rush are now antediluvian, admixed…and everybody knows what happened here. Baldy, extermination by gun and death march. Forgiven. Not forgotten. They just want to run their businesses and be left to get on in peace. But elsewhere! Ah…I’d rather not look.

Yes indeed, it is entirely unrealistic to remove the “stuff”. In a sense, imho, NPP-Z is not defensible. Oh yes, it is defended, but stationary targets are stationary targets, that this target is “pregnant”. So? How defend the indefensible? Indirectly.

“Go-!” said he sternly then. “We will call it a stand-off, a Mexican stand-off, you lose your money, but you save your life!” (ostensibly) F. Harvey Smith, Sunday Mercury, New York, 1876″ (wiki)

What that would be in the present circumstance? I imagine, it might involve “rifle-sights” and certain back-channel communications.  https://youtu.be/4OcM23Hbs5U (Walter Huston is a trip! Sierra Madre “badges”) Recalling that technical means to blast from one side of Earth to ‘tother and hit a designated office chair exists, aheem.

Oh! I get it…the “several decades” from Brother L445… We, he and I, disagree. I had read it, it’s an opinion. Where we disagree is in the assumptions of imperatives. I estimate that it is not realistic to assume a constant rate of degeneration, nor of ascendancy. I estimate that Russia is constitutionally obliged to “interfere” inside the US…mostly because there are so many dangerous “lose cannons, and lost canons”. The silly propaganda about “Russian interference” is BS right now…but it’s the gun on the wall in act one. The US won’t have, does not have, decades. Like the fellas say motus in fine velocior.

Longtimeago I used to subscribe to wallstreetjournl…and there read story of innate stability of USA juxtaposed to innate instability of filthlygodlesscommieussr. The idea being that if DC were vaporized the Country would take the hit and recover within the Customs and Laws, unchanged…but! Ah! If Moscow were vaporized, the USSR and Russia would disintegrate into a vast sea of disparate statelets, all at war with one-another. Obviously, I thought about it. It may have been a serious, if wishful, speculation in 1975, but I had doubts even then. So?

No responsible prevailing power is going to permit the insane and ruthless, delusional, fascists to keep nuclear and biological “machinery” without “discipline”…which means Power…and Mao told us whence comes Power. It’s a brutal logic, but the US zone gets occupied, probably by invitation and without violence. Well, without very much violence…it remains to be seen. Maybe Mr Texas will get his ride in Ruskie APC through Houston. If the Comrade gets to Anoxia and sees the flag and stops, it’s vodka or tea….

Meantime, US military recruiters reject 91%, I hear…too stupid, too sick, too addicted, too ignorant…and that’s with specially low “standards”… and the military families that “supplied” fodderunits for generations are advising their kids to avoid the military. Thus closes 80% of enlistments… Never mind the practical aspect…this means the young men are functionally in rebellion, they will not fight. What’s left is mercenary and dangerous and without loyalty…gangs. Good luck with the “decades”…

That’s why I didn’t bother to shake the argument. Red Army is just getting started.

All this would have been avoided if Wallace had been on the ticket in ’44, All this would have been avoided if the State had kept to the Constitution. And the first use would not have already happened. What would Benjamin Franklin, er “Prudence Goodbody” have said?

Quick note, Brother…mostly re above, yes.

Note that as The Emperor N is said to have said, you can do anything with bayonets except sit on them…Wagner bad boys will, I expect, not be dispersed, rather most of them will die in combat.  Brutal, but “best”… and fair, too. Let Heaven judge them, and their cases may have merit at celestial trial.

Speaking of which…I often think about Bontsha the Silent… his crime was meekness…their crimes are of another character…but both sorts are defensible, and charity mitigates, they say.

Preface> I want nothing to do with dope or the rackets or the people that do.

The French narcogang stuff is way beyond me. I’ve seen terrible stuff, but mostly among people of better class, not to be snooty. My opinion is that the dope business and the gun business, the war business, the armieswest rackets and the bank business and the mafia and the spies are one in a vast incestuous bordello. A tiny example…for decades amphetamine was more or less legal and over the counter. It was also easy to synthesize, if anybody wanted to. And doing so was not illegal. It was not much of a social problem. The (calling Laurel Canyon and Company) happened, and it was popularized in “Look” and so on, and on TV…and there was a baby boom and the mothers were working….an epidemic of injection use of amphetamine followed in waves…and now it’s super illegal and functionally impossible to synthesize … while massive factory scale synthesis goes on in Mexico…and there is no Southern border to speak of…big (like D=1 meter) reaction vessels in parallel batch production according to snapshots I’ve seen. That means it’s licensed. Protected. An instrument. The only rational view of this is as a business model, with Government (Pelosi did her part) in league with organized crime and the rest of their charming circle of finks, cut-throats, pols, and richphuckazzwholecapitalistdogs. The French gangs probably have similar associations. I do wonder if our dear little Macron is being punished for some rule violation….

When the US and the USSR both had stand alone industrial economies things were free and easy…though I can’t speak to the US South or East…but out West it was easy for everybody, and the economy was fairly honest, people made things. Steel. Railroad wheels, table saws…ladders. There were few laws, little crime, dope was almost legal and nobody wanted any… fairly healthy, outside of the smoking and excessive drinking, and much of that was from PTSD and the war. There were more or less no gun laws either…and few shootings.

The cash is, they say, keeping banks and rackets “solvent” This was the theme from https://www.amazon.com/Big-White-Lie-Operation-Sabotage/dp/0985238623 Mr officer cop Levine

My gut hunch is that once you make a gang it’s silly to expect loyalty…

They say that the tinder is even drier in Germany… “And yet, based on the available data, the situation in France is not as explosive as in Germany or Austria” https://www.rt.com/news/579041-france-riots-migration-unrest/  (I am delighted that Dr K Kneissl has found a good position! Her treatment by Austria was shameful)
