Mr P
ParticipantOh! Brother! No sweat! No offense whatsoever. I agree that my syntax can be, often is, unpolished. I did aspire to be a beatnik… maybe I managed, our digs are almost classical beat, right down to guitar and the VD poster from Berkeley back in the day. Not quite Pia Zadora’s beat pad in Hairspray though. Got a “Ruski Soldat” Bear wearing Ushanka and Saint George ribbon, a Soviet ruksack (with star) and a plastic ppsh41 tommygun…even the bikes are beat sorta bikes. Soviet flag draped over little Ivan. Sehr camp.
Evidently (as we’ve previously spoken of> “Moscow is preparing to launch the procedure for returning Alaska,” – Vyacheslav Volodin said.” (at g-chronicle too)
“…There appears to be a deep foreboding among many Americans of all classes, that a reckoning is coming….” This was, I’m pretty sure, seen on the horizon even before VE and VJ day…the American Blacks coming home from the war were going to demand full civil rights, and many intellectuals of the American Left understood that if this necessity was not satisfied then there would follow strife and dissolution, drift by degrees into a fascist tyranny. As a child I overheard such discussions. Of course the “nationality issues” (as the Soviets used to say) were cynically and deliberately used to profit the very few and divide everyone against his brothers. The matter of course went forth to every group, shade, or identifiable quality…against commies and against intellectuals, and on. Naturally everyone knows know that there’s the Devil to pay. People joke about how it might be just fine if those Commies nuked DC. They may get to see that.
I’ve spoken before about the spooky action echos from the future. Perhaps that’s not delusional, dunno.
Happier note (pun!) Connie Converse https://archive.ph/3iUYP There’s link in the article to her some of her old songs… A mysterious girl…
Anoxia has several features that sustain it fairly well under strain…rail and river and soil and farms and orchards, sawmills and grazing spaces, a common confession, and a homogeneous population…if left alone. These “hicks” mostly know how to do things. If left alone. They have nutty ideas…but the basics are there, they are kind people, I get invited to church frequently…I may start visiting them to hear the sermons. I wish they published though. There’s a story about the Quaker who attended a Methodist preacher’s sermon> After a few minutes he stood up and said “Preacher that’s a lie!” I try to stifle myself…

ParticipantHowdy AHH and All.
(The CrossTalk 5/8 includes Dima B…and his face is worth watching… Peter interrupted him at the end…but DB was on a roll, imho he’s obviously seeing a tragic future.)
About the frauds, the bit with Pearl, and Moon, and so on… these stories are very pretty, but they’re also inconsistent with fact… for example west coast amateurs triangulated the Japanese fleet, and one of the Matson liners Radio Officers logged the Japanese Kana Morse. Noting that it’s easier to fake a moon landing than it is to do a moon landing… ! But maybe they did place machinery there. Part of the gag… They say that NASA has lost the famous rocks and even the film…whaddyaknow. “Fissures in our tapestry” was the complaint uttered by [Casey, I think] … I heard him say this, he was going on about the Ruskies.
Mother used to as “Heretic” ask questions.
Reading around I see that it’s said that the Imperial Actions since, well, shall we say since the buildings exploded murdering thousands, at least, have a theme or core character, that of desperation.
Indeed, this very word often appears in reporting on the Great Western Leaders and their cunning plans and glorious victories.
Obviously Latin…but it’s an interesting word.
“Having lost all hope; despairing. Marked by, arising from, or showing despair. Reckless or violent because of despair.” (American Heritage)
Looking deeper, we find: “…careless of danger, as from despair; utterly reckless…”
And get to the Latin: “dēspērāre to have no hope”, and taking that word apart, we come to “spero” (first conjugation) > “hope”. Minds one of Dante…
I note that this condition naturally and necessarily produces non-rational destructive behavior. And in the fullness, expiration. Two more interesting Latin terms…http://www.latin-dictionary.net/search/english/destructive
and> the later Latin (circa 1400) form “expire” in the sense of not breathing…death.
Speaking of George Szamuely… (that’s an old Bob Newhart gag!) anyway Galloway has him https://youtu.be/_D6hYJkBQ0g He’s somewhat blunt. Telegraph…didahdidda.
Best! P
ParticipantIndeed!
Not to say who says, but I know, by “quellen”… In jails and prisons the primary dope traffic runs through the guards. Of course there are free-lance fellas, but the business runs through the guards. This scales up…in the California example it’s just the same. My eye sees ongoing Aktion T-4 as having a multitude of avenues to a chilly single goal. Recalling https://archive.org/details/alfred-w.-mc-coy-the-politics-of-heroin-2003 and https://archive.ph/Dkevn I am privy to a startling number of face-to-face testimonials from guards and former employees, and former colleagues who were ensnared one way or another and in prison. They all tell about the same story from their respective experiences and observation – word “Rashomon” – don’t quite know how to use it. Anyway all point to the same principle at work. Do/did “trusties” do the labs for the drug tests in the joint? Yewbetcha! That alone…
Down at Stumpy’s a fat old Black fella in a wheelchair, paralyzed by a stray bullet many years previously, got happy-drunk the other day. Nobody knew the guy. He was babbling about buying pounds of heroin out of the trunk of a Rolls Royce at an estate in Beverly Hills. He said that was in 1969…then he lit a cigar, and rolled back out to his old caddy, and spit gravel down the county road, cigar in hand out the window, waving through the dust. (more or less a true story) Vietnam “China White” via Air America and their pals. Well made diacetylmorphine HCL, dangerous but predictable.
Anoxia radio calls code for dead bodies – sometimes the coroner, sometime fire department, once in a while a natural and expected death – every day. The stuff, the dope these helpless nutzlossen are being fed is far more dangerous than the classical drugs…real Russian roulette stuff. Nothing accidental about the supply chain, nothing at all. Inside job. Contractors. Hey, it’s vice! O Mores O tempora…

ParticipantYesterday, listening to rural bus driver declaim as to the good and the not good he sees, he spoke to the helplessness of the people in the face of the ongoing. Passenger spoke of war 404.
Driver replied that Russia and China have the means to fix “Newsom” and the nazis. “They have armies.”, he said.
Everybody’s twigging to the gag. Even the hicks, er, “deplorables” > https://archive.ph/g7UgF motis in fine velocior, eh?

ParticipantFinished film. Easy to see that in 1965 it would have been problematic for Soviet States. Easy to see why, now, it’s a sensible choice to show it.
In particular, it ends with a little Soviet girl telling us the story of the “golden egg”….and do we not hear President Putin and many speak of “the golden billion”, in the sense that the film suggests – that a tiny mouse has set in motion the shattering? Yewbetcha. I’d bet that Brother Putin watched that film long time ago in KGB school, not big bet, but bet.
Long film.
………Tiny drone and tiny mouse…and tiny dope fiends…and tiny minds…small thing at right moment…cascade of metastatic failure…..
Brother Medvedev recently wrote, I think, about sending Russian surface warship to add to the submarine fleet standing off US coasts… (this a vague mirror of Alexander doing the same, sorta). Hard to ignore surface ship. That’s an invitation…one that works even if it’s not accepted.
………………
Brother H. Turner’s angst and turmoil… He speaks of his heart-attacks and such…I wonder if he’s taking statins…and about the psychological effects in concert with events and perceptions. Just a thought. His audience interests me more than the man, though I do feel sympathy. He smokes, they say, and I expect he downs a few alcoholic pain- expellers now and again. I hope he finds peace.

Participantamarynth. Your work is wonderful. Blessings. Nothing stays the same for long, machines desire husbandry. Thank you very kindly.
It’s been said between the Alex pair and elsewhere that many question as to why some “targets” in 404 are not destroyed. And it’s been pointed out that these places are probably inhabited by both nazis (any nationality) and by Russian agents (any nationality) providing intelligence to Kremlin. Well, of course. And of course this is normal, natural.
In the first 1/2 of “Ordinary Fascism” (Soviet 1965) nazi film is, in part, addressed. We see human-ness undone, and the substitution of it by salacious scene and spectacle, sex…and a famous actress, a “super-star” of nazi film> Marika Roekk. Alas! I did not know of this lady. Indeed, a beautiful woman.
Banned after the war from acting – this for her intimate association with the ubernazi cadre. But! Looking further, we see another lady inside! No doubt her spirit has company to-day inside those “targets” in 404, and doing dangerous repetition of her courage Huh?
The ‘nazi” Schauspielerin was a Communist and a spy… Very risible indeed, and good cover after the war too! Marika Roekk, 1913 – 2004, d @ 90! R.I.P. good lady.
See> https://archive.ph/Dox1R (Interesting that Gehlen Organization is both mentioned and “corrected” in the Guardian (back in less terrible times it was a good newspaper, as these things go)).
The Lindsey Graham blather about murder calls up the murder of I. Yamamoto and many similarly stupid (and more recent) crimes. These almost always have worked to the detriment of everyone. Such matters telegraph fear, fear of Peace, fear of “other”, and presage defeat. Defeat? Yes, between Yamamoto and the nukes threatening USSR, the US managed to ruin the Peace and “make” the Soviet bombs…and laid the ground for the defeat we see before us. One has only to walk an American city – utterly defeated. Particularly in the American huckster example, the hustler is defeated by the mark inside. Like the “CRM114 in the film, the auto-destruct circuit…

ParticipantDear Sudhi, No need to worry about offense. It’s just sad to see young women allowing themselves to be degraded. In a way I have always been a camera. I am sure that the middle-aged lady had some regrets. But a path in life once taken…
Brother AHH, I agree, though Brother Hal imho is hysterical with “transient stress psychosis”…understandable! In degree “ah suspicion”, so are we all. The ground seems to suggest a set-up for a bigbig false atomic false flag in 404. (drum roll please! Theater, Party night at Armageddon!)
The effect of nazi attacks on Ruskie icons…a gung ho resolve to liquidate nazis… So it may be. The Czar may be sad or happy, but now he’s under pressure to satisfy the lusts of his peoples. The direct attacks, and there are many small and not small, function similarly to the Imperial German sabotage attacks in Wilson’s America, possibly as the Pearl Harbor thing did. Of course PH was a ploy, but nevertheless the resolve did materialize.
Speaking of nazis… bigbigfilm> 1965, Mikhail Romm> “Der Normale Faschismus”
entire film> (for now!) https://archive.org/details/ordinary-fascism
The film presented highly inconvenient truths as to the real nature of USSR and real nature of fascism… There are numerous analytical examinations, reviews. These are very interesting. It was on YT; they say that Mosfilm owns rights and made YT remove it, maybe so.
Best! P
ParticipantThank you Sudhi!
The article says in one place more or less what I knew from disparate reading. The one very conclusive photograph of the scene is a “bar” was not very nice, and I had not seen it. Pornography generally, to my eye, is pathetic and crossed against the female in a socially and morally damning assault on culture and maternity. It happens, but it is not good.
Remembering Doonesbury comics and the offer of reward for anybody who would prove GW’s military service, the offer for a picture of a pregnant Mike is, well, I think they call it “trolling”.
Best!
ParticipantI suppose I meant something like “industrious”… “smart” being vague, and simply as a casual remark. I don’t see it as hierarchical…a bit of Candide. Of course, I agree with your father’s saying. Actually it rings familiar.
Best! P
ParticipantRead 5, not %…
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.
