Seven Black Jays
Seven black jays in ecstatic trance,
High up on a windy branch;
Congregation in full swing,
As fervid throats take turns to sing:
What do they say, what do they mean;
Are you well, how have you been?
Perhaps to share some wisdom gleaned,
Perhaps to vent a little spleen?
Is it the wind and the joy that flies,
Is it the place where abundance lies?
Is it the storm in yonder skies,
That sparks the passion in their cries?
How sharp the beak that bears the brunt,
How sure the eye that guides the hunt!
How firm the claw and fleet the wing –
Are these the things of which they sing?
But by and large, I must confess
At what they say I only guess;
Their vocal skills bear me along,
My heart it thrills to hear their song!
Seven black jays in ecstatic trance,
High up on a windy branch;
That congregation in full swing
As fervid throats in rounds do sing!
Ten Little Blue Jays
Ten little Blue Jays standin’ in a line,
One toddled home and then there were nine;
Nine little Blue Jays swingin’ on a gate,
One tumbled off and then there were eight.
Eight little Blue Jays gayest under heav’n,
One went to sleep and then there were seven;
Seven little Blue Jays cutting up their tricks,
One broke his neck and then there were six.
Six little Blue Jays kickin’ all alive,
One kick’d the bucket and then there were five;
Five little Blue Jays on a cellar door,
One tumbled in and then there were four.
Four little Blue Jays up on a spree,
One he got fuddled and then there were three;
Three little Blue Jays out in a canoe,
One tumbled overboard and then there were two.
Two little Blue Jays foolin’ with a gun,
One shot t’other and then there was one;
One little Blue Jay livin’ all alone,
He got married and then there were none.

Star Spangled Blather
Obey and believe
that wrong is now right
and so soundly we failed
as the sheep are still sleeping
whose bold lies and strifes scars
there are no facts in sight
O’er the media we watched
were so blatantly deceiving
and the rot and despair
masked sheep gasping for air
gave proof through the night
that truth is not there
O say, does that star-spangled blather yet rave
O’er the land of the fact free
and the home of the faux brave
An interesting map on projected US summer blackouts.
https://powerthefuture.com/two-thirds-of-the-country-face-the-prospect-of-blackouts-this-summer/
It focuses attrition of the western and middle 2/3 continental US. Isn’t this essentially > 90% of the food basket (california, mid-west, ranchers)?
Another consideration may be, in the setting of bankruptcy and hoarding / prioritization of dwindling resources, similar to emergent life-saving mechanisms of a wounded animal shunting blood from the extremities to the essential core, the US is having to chose what to save in which order. Of course, NYC, DC and Virginia, not to mention media in Georgia and Ivy Leagues & academia in NE, take precedence. So as the world separates into the West vs the Rest, a similar process appears within the US itself, a death spiral, of intent to save the East Coast core. No, we no longer can; Skeletor Pelosi and the West Coast being jettisoned?! Interesting protocols underway.

Chinese Capitalism has decisions to make too.
We can imagine these type of discussions in current Chinese boardrooms. A big messy divorce is unfolding.. decisions on what to salvage from the excesses of the last generation as civilizations burn bridges.
End-stage Capitalism eats itself, like the ouroboros.
https://youtu.be/Hhy7JUinlu0
and who will be their Carmelo the Enforcer?!
Interesting form: ” …similar to emergent life-saving mechanisms of a wounded animal shunting blood from the extremities to the essential core, the US is having…”
We have long seen and said that this process is like ketosis, and like that process, it stinks. But also, it seems, the process is approximately symmetrical in that the most recent appendage of Empire, Europe, is being left to rot before, say Hawaii or Alaska…so, as you say, the core of the beast, East Coast, dies last. However…
However “…having to chose what to save in which order….” may not be entirely a matter for the US nazi junta. Some may expect that as W3 proceeds to denazify the world, there may be other force vectors for the fine gentlemen to consider…such as, when the pitchforks arise, how to save their own selves. At some point, it’s reasonable to expect these Great Men to run away. Perhaps to Patagonia, like their servant did in 1945. I see that Comrade VVP is making nice with Nicaragua, and recall a Pravda report that VVP suggested that the rockets return to Cuba (I contacted Pravda about that…. VVP said it years ago – and it telegraphs, I think, part of the long laid plans…step by step the kettle is formed. As ketosis proceeds, infections are to be expected especially in the bloodless portions, eh? I wonder if the contraction policy assumes mass die-off from vax and/or disease… “…They ravage, they slaughter, they seize by false pretenses, and all of this they hail as the construction of empire. And when in their wake nothing remains but a desert, they call that peace.”
As Empire leaves Europe to rot, when will it depart from European bases? That’s liable to present thrilling images…like Saigon, or Afnamistan’s midnight escape. I must go see if Stumpy will take a bet on that.
Michael Hudson in his recent article asks –
Is US/NATO (with WEF help) pushing for a Global South famine?
https://michael-hudson.com/2022/06/is-us-nato-with-wef-help-pushing-for-a-global-south-famine/
Is the proxy war in Ukraine turning out to be only a lead-up to something larger, involving world famine and a foreign-exchange crisis for food- and oil-deficit countries?
Geewhiz, ya’tink? One may contest that thesis, but that is surely the direction, the “machine intent”, and naturally, in accord with the nazi morality that tells us that murdering Iraqi children, 500,000 children, is “worth it”. But the idea that the nazi Plan applies only to Global South…well, why stop there? BigbigPlan is global de-population, and baldly stated. Like all bigbigplans. it’s a phuckup, but “bad”. And naturally antinazi “enemy” gets a “vote” .
The nazi morality is being applied everywhere

If food shortages gets severe they will probably ration food. To get your ration you will probably need a Digital ID and to get the ID you will probably need to be “vaccinated”. In politics nothing happens by chance.

Here’s Putin doing his bit on the vaxx front https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSbwYyyCIJU
“I see that Comrade VVP is making nice with Nicaragua” Yes. I even heard obviously unverifiable rumors Russian troops will be stationed there by end of 2022! Imagine the effect, and how Mr. Monroe will spin, and the salutary effect on Latin America. btw, the Bolivian lady who couped Morales in 2019 was sentenced.

I recall there were some descendants of Nazis among her footsoldiers – Croatian ustasha? As you put nicely, “ketosis proceeds, infections are to be expected especially in the bloodless portions..” And so the trend accelerates of the outer provinces seizing up and falling away, as the center itself is busy hemorrhaging..
“step by step the kettle is formed.” Yes. I think even the Eurolemmings start to comprehend the full meaning of military-technical; it is not space-limited to the Ukraine or time-limited, as indicated by increasing fracturing (fall of Estonian, Bulgar, & soon British govs) and second-takes in Scandinavia. The agony of self-preservation seeing the still-hot gun muzzle pointing your way.. And the irony of the Sultan perhaps being the final straw breaking NATO! I wonder if he was willing (settling old scores) or maneuvered by circumstance (greed) which his colleagues were too arrogant to satisfy?
“As Empire leaves Europe to rot, when will it depart from European bases?” Operation Z prematurely exposed this scorched earth policy against Europe; some in east/central Europe may get away now. The western countries are too-tightly buttoned down. Success was contingent on quick Russian losses in reputation, finances, economy and the physical war.. But defeat, inferior weaponry & warfighting doctrines are all bitter orphans. It is the AZE which is now isolated, broke, stark naked and stuck in the tar baby. I wouldn’t want to be in Camp Bondsteel and the foreign 800+ “lily pad” bases in the coming months!
Regarding California, there may be claims as strong as with Alaska. Was a fast one pulled, just before the 49ers Gold Rush? Russians only left in 1841 and Alaska much later.. I remember hearing CA and Oregon both applied to accede to Russia during the mess just before the civil war? I don’t have the source. Maybe at current pace of events, the AZE will soon be limited to one ocean – on the rims of the north Atlantic..

Sudhi:
“Is the proxy war in Ukraine turning out to be only a lead-up to something larger, involving world famine and a foreign-exchange crisis for food- and oil-deficit countries?” This is what we are all waiting for – to see the Russian and Global South counter to this demonic plan. As Hudson says, “𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘜.𝘚. 𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘥𝘦-𝘥𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘰𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘜.𝘚. 𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘰𝘳𝘣𝘪𝘵?” AZE gets a say too and already offed at least 4-5 African presidents during covid alone, for ignoring their narrative.
I didn’t read Hudson much recently, so was surprised to see so many hard-hitting points:
(1) “𝘒𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘴 𝘚𝘤𝘩𝘸𝘢𝘣’𝘴 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘌𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘶𝘮 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘱𝘰𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 – 𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 “𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥” 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦.. 𝘉𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘎𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥: “𝘗𝘰𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘯 𝘈𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦.” Gates even named Nigeria. The mushrooming US biolabs in Nigeria was brought up by Russia at the last UNSC bioweapons briefing.. The US will go down in such infamy as to make the 3rd Reich look like whistling angels!
(2) “𝘎𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘰𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘣𝘺 30 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘣𝘺 [1] 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 [2] 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 “𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳, [3] 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳.” It must be said this has been a successful strategy in the West so far! In fact, in conjunction with Thorsten’s recent pieces on more successful AZE Project Japan, this appears to be a universal Eugenicist template. But some cultures are more traditionally grounded and better at defending themselves..
(3) “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴, 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 “𝘣𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘯𝘦𝘨𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵”? 𝘈𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴? .. 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦, 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘺 𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬? .. 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙣 𝙣𝙚𝙜𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩.

Silence at this point equals complicity given the scale of criminality in motion. And as FDR said, “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
There are so many other points that can be raised in this VIP piece. Thanks for sharing!
The visit of the Senegalese president to visit with Putin on behalf of all Africans as current head of the African Union (AU) was promising. This is huge – too big an opening for Russia not to take advantage of the golden opportunity. If Africa openly joins Russia-China-India-Iran-Turkic lands, it is Game Over.
Russia should be able to send wheat/grain and oil at concessionary price (and in Ruble) but there are likely more interesting moves afoot. 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙘𝙝 𝙬𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣 𝙡𝙤𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙐𝙎𝘿 𝙨𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢 𝙞𝙩𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛, 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙛𝙤𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙡𝙤𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙈𝙧. 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙨’ 𝙀𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙘 𝙃𝙞𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣. All the West’s intentional obstacles can still be overcome, such as blocked shipping insurance, the mining of “𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘜𝘬𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘚𝘦𝘢, 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘺𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘙𝘶𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘢 𝘪𝘯 𝘥𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘙𝘶𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘢.” The main impediment is the will of Africans to reverse paralyzing inertia. The West’s lose-lose gambit can be turned against them: instead of servicing malicious odious loans and starving themselves of food and energy, Africans can take the leap of defaulting and obtain real freedom.. Interesting times ahead.

Yes, perhaps Michael Hudson would not go so far as to include the golden billion for the planned global “Holodomor” (death by hunger).
The US while asking all its subjects to sanction and stop all purchases from Russia itself quietly seeks to purchase food, fertilizers and even crude oil from Russia –

Indeed Sudhi,
it will be a long/slow starvation for, nearly, everyone.
In the meantime most Russians will be calling for slav blood while the westerners will be calling for, er, slav blood.
No need to worry for some though, AI will make everything better and VVP will, eventually, take his hazmat suit off.

A good article showing what the Kiev Natsiks have been up to over the last 30 years trying to destroy the Russian language in Ukraine. Hopefully the SMO will put paid to all of those issues. And Russian will not suffer any longer there:

RT
– The Russian Academy of Sciences has been conducting studies and “collecting facts” related to extraterrestrial life and UFOs in particular, Rogozin stated, adding, though, that 99.9% of all such cases reviewed by the Russian specialists have turned out to be “atmospheric and other physical phenomena” that have nothing to do with any extraterrestrial intelligent life hypotheses.

Example of “atmospheric and other physical phenomena” here
– Nuremberg broadsheet tells of an April 14, 1561, aerial battle involving a variety of strange objects — globes, crosses, and tubes — that turned to steam upon hitting the ground (lower right). People viewed the event as a divine warning.

Just dropping in old man… I’d suggest “H”..and all of the above…with “B’ a biggie. “H” would be mutiny in form of sabotage, or simple sabotage. “A contractual long term association with US Army comprised a vast kabuki dance of fraud in a legalistic cloak…essentially “pencil-whipping” tasks…” well, that’s what a fella down at the Dewdrop Inn said. Anyway it’s not hard to fake maintenance if nobody cares..(that’s what killed Rancho Seco)…speaking of Doonesbury…do you remember the one at the cusp of Iraqwar where in desert the Vietnam vet fella was being asked by the younger fodderunits “No kidding? You really shot your own officers?” It seems to be missing, anyway I can’t find it.
But really I have a serious question…Lavrov said, I believe about a year ago, that “Ukraine would cease to exist” under some scenario that had been posited… What was that scenario? I don’t recall that specific.
I think it way have been in the context of Minsk2…”If this then that” I wonder if we have arrived at such a scenario.
Your: “An interesting map on projected US summer blackouts” happens to dove-tail with our solar project Thanks! (Handy gadget “P3 kill o watt”)
I’ve been thinking about Vietnam and reading some of the relevant law, and may make up a brief in simi-legalistic form…one basic question regards the Tonkin Gulf Resolution (88-104, I think) and its merit in Constitutional Law. It seems to conflict with Art 6 USC and the UN Charter…and since it is provable that the fabricated and false reports to Congress used for the purpose of creating the Resolution, and indeed the Resolution itself drawn up months in advance, were evidence of treason within the Johnson Administration…this opens the matter, at the least.
Down at the Dewdrop I was listening to a guy brag about his 4 years in Vietnam, and wondering about his possible criminal status, and of course, about mitigation, and about my old colleague the AF recruiter who cried recalling the boys he’d been tricked into deceiving. Is it a defense if you were tricked, lied to? I should add, Tonkin was repealed, and the US got sued because they kept on blasting away…and a circuit court found the war illegal, reasoning was that Tonkin was a declaration of war… which brings us back to the UN Charter. It also especially opens the question about the status of combatants during that brief period.
Took the bike up in the mountains for a day…like Pirsig…I think on a motorcycle…now time to get on the solar work…I have some serious out-of-round problems. As the carpenter might say, half a bubble off.
Later, P
As my Tyrolean friends would say, “Grüß Gott!”
“But really I have a serious question…Lavrov said, I believe about a year ago, that “Ukraine would cease to exist”” Indeed! And Putin promised there would no occupation.. If there is no Ukraine, is there any occupation? 8-D
Yes, sabotage is likely and should increase. Old Microbiologist mentioned, and I read it years ago too, that “the actual gunfighter strength of the US military is in the neighborhood of 87,000 soldiers including the National Guard.” Most of the 1+ million official troops are ancillary and hirelings, a discrete way to keep people afloat on the dole. None of them want to die for a paycheck. This includes the significant shadow armies built by Rummy and Cebrowski – they know the score, what it entails facing the Rooskies. No easy defenseless turkey-shoots. Among the mercs, are only the fanatical deadenders left on the ground in the Ukraine now? All those with functioning higher brain activity have seen which way the wind blows and gotten out or stayed out. ‘Praise be Mr. Kinzhal and pass me the next Global South safari!’
Some suggest the shipping of Harpoons and other western weapons by the Danes / other vassals is a secondary effort due to foot-dragging and noncompliance by the Pentagon, which refuses to rubberstamp the neocon march into an open hot war against the Russians. Goodness, when the War Department has the residual sanity in the Empire..

In this nascent Age of Retribution, AZE psychopaths have a heightened sensitivity of finding refuge against the coming storm. Determined hard men come for them from all corners of the Earth. Satellites and ubiquitous ISR make it difficult to hide above ground, even among a sea of lemmings, which they are busy pruning anyhow.
CAF and those tracking missing trillions of USD have postulated funds vacuumed worldwide from productive society were used to fund a secret space civilization or parallel civilization. What if it was used for more mundane existential purposes, of digging downwards like blind naked mole-rats seeking to defend ill-gotten loot and the coming day of accounting? And imagine how many generations were beta tested down there over last 3-5 generations, raised and even born without sunlight, to adapt them. A forgettable movie (reprise of ‘The Lord of the Flies’ set in Space) predicts having to raise children without sun in this sci-fi movie, of habituating them to dark environments.
https://youtu.be/HpGOk5-LQOs
btw, which nuclear by-product that is bluish and in US water supplies serves as “a chemical ingredient .. that affects their personality. It makes them dull and docile, decreasing their desires and pleasure responses. They are being drugged and pacified, so they don’t reproduce naturally and overpopulate..?” @ 3:00 mark. So many gems in Hollywood, if you affix the right viewing lens!
~ 40,000 children disappear in the US alone each year. Not all are needed for elite depravity and rituals. A portion would incrementally provide a solid backbone to a prepared remnant. A small self-contained Strangelovian community to serve as the feedstock of the Eugenicists.
Hollywood and their arts predicted long ago the future terrain of war would be brought underground, after the despoliation of the surface. The Matrix, Aliens and countless zombie apocalypse fare, etc.. feature tunnel war and living in self-sufficient underground cities. For over a century sci-fi has foretold of a need to leave the Earth due to mishmash of excuses, – running out of food, other essential supplies, overcrowding, terrible wars, etc.
Anticipation of the last oligarchs being hunted down too? Many folks wondered at the prolonged fixation and h0rror of the western MSM focus on the Stalingrad of the Ukie war: Mariupol’s Azovstal. And the determination of Russians to capture it, no matter the timeframe and howling and external threats and counter sallies. Were useful lessons learned, such as attacking water supplies and other points of vulnerability, of these artificial subterranean strongholds? It was a proving ground for both sides. Is the formerly rock-solid concept of an elite bolt hole now passé? Azovstal was a powerful microcosm of the arrived Future War, as the delirious will be exterminated in-situ or surrender to war crimes tribunals.
Elite Underground: https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol_underground35.htm
see the size of those boring machines! But the vastness and depths of those strongholds perhaps no longer sustain their hopes?! The beauty of the lessons of Azovstal..

Cool clip. New to me. Thanks. sehr mucho. Minds me of old (true?) story…I think it was Kesey – he was on the lam in Mexico and wanted to cross back…and bought a burro and crossed as a hung-over cowboy Texan drunk riding the critter…they let him in, but not the burro. That story might be in “Electric Acid Cool-aid”…and another…”how did you bring in 20 tons of weed?” reply: “On a hay truck…at 1 AM…handed out $1000 to every agent in sight.” (a hitch-hiking story from the Carmel Valley)…back in the day…we were blasting away at beer cans on some dirt road…cat had a barn full of weed and a cute dog…looked just like snoopy. In those days a grand was a whole lotta money. I remember a 30.30 lever action, I had a .38.
One of the objects and ideas that the fellas at Kent State didn’t like was the liquid crystal research lab…because it would soon lead to electronic cameras phucking everywhere, and zero privacy…I believe they burned that building down. The ROTC building was secondary… The students that got shot were shot with M1 Garand… not the first time nazis have shot their own children. Using weapons on children is a nazi trait, and tells us about nazis. Standards have been in decline for some time… The missing children…well, you may be right. There are stories about “young blood”, as I have mentioned. And we see how they condition them in 404, and “harvest” organs…a continuity with esteemed Josef Mengele’s little projects.
“US water supplies serves as “a chemical ingredient .. ” https://youtu.be/Qr2bSL5VQgM (the pervert aspect with the pistols in background are great! as is cigar) Seriously, I wonder about the sodomy and “identity” epidemic and ” endocrine disruption” in food and fluids…)
The idea of vast tunnels…I don’t want to think that, but do. That Good Man Dick Cheney as VP attended a considerable effort at digging in DC…see cryptome, they had aerial images and commentary. And old film> https://youtu.be/iTezJveMglU (Invaders from Mars, 1953). I’m pretty sure that Ruskies have a fair idea, as along with mutinies come special confidential informants like Fuchs, and most of that sort of work involves civilian contracts and is impossible to properly conceal….the tailing debris and all of that…however in recent 20 years many construction projects I know of have dedicated “security”…as in they have a stooge-fink that does nothing but evaluate the labor force…and remove men who seem too smart and thoughtful…this is true at power stations, and food processing establishments that I have observed…still, Ruskie not stupid, and finks are obvious targets for kompromat. I have known US Army NCO’s that were entirely corrupt.
At high differential pressures, even in hardrock, it’s difficult to keep water out of bores…and ultimate heat sink for prime-movers gets especially problematic… I expect the tunnels and bores will give away their position via venting, and have limited life due to fuel limits…the “Strangelove nuclear reactor” still needs heatsink…a lot of it. I wonder how such problems were dealt with under Avovstal.
Logtimeago I knew some of the Kesey people, and changed a broken piston in a Cadillac engine Kesey had stuffed into an old Ford school-bus..he kept the automatic, but the bus still had a two speed behind it…so 6 fwd gears…in front of Nesdon Booth’s house. The style of the mounting of the air-brake compressor was “acid-creative”! At that time Booth Sr was gone. In those days my ride was a BMW bike…wish I still had it…craig’s list recently had one at 18 grand…outtamahleague. Your putative colleague Oliver Sacks in his amphetamine days had a very similar “scooter”.

To-day we hoisted mast #1 of solar as a fitting exercise…it’s back on deck with marks for cuts…like I have said…the job tells the craftsman how to do it…maybe that’s a Quaker thing…anyway I like to go slowly and listen to God, so to say….then rode the old Harley to visit a (disabled veteran) pal…who agrees btw, that the junta is a nazi junta, and consists of traitors….which makes me wonder how his cohort thinks…when the veterans begin to see the rulers as “other”…well…how long until (more) mutinies? I often recall the giant rats in the gutter across the street from the LA induction office…celestial symbolism. They said that I might “rehabilitate myself”…still working on that…

How, I wonder, will the orchards be harvested? How will the fruit be dried and processed and moved to market? What market? Highly metastatic situation is polite speak. Fubar is more accurate.

Glad you liked the clip. You’ll really enjoy the movie, “No Country for Old Men (2007),” extremely well done and poignant. An introspective on Americana, gangsterism and things as they start to fall apart. The relentless psychopathy of the new Technocrats is alluded to through the antagonist. At times I do feel like that old sheriff who has outlived his time and cannot fathom the new breed of crooks and the rootless times.

Btw, Rheinmetall unveiled their new battle tank at a Paris arms expo, nicknaming it the Panzer.. Along with sending UkroNazi materiel on June 22.. Russians are really being stoked by the AZE poisoning wells on the way out to wall off these lunatics for the next 10 generations, and to ensure they are assisted in a return to the Pastoral State. For sure all gas is cut by year’s end. But at this point, do Russians even care? I hope these are further items noted on the accounting ledger along with civilian shelling of Donetsk.
I saw favors are being called in to Hal. Chinese bank runs and other agitprop will really bloom in the coming period of focus on China. If the republicans return to power, Steve Bannon and his sidekick Guo Wengui should be resuscitated too. China has to make decisions soon, no more “running with the hare and hunting with the hound!”
It is heartbreaking to see the winding down of Petroleum Man on such a criminally rapid timeline. The natural end to a Cycle is one thing, but this is malevolently augmented, or “goosed.” Most will not see it coming and be able to prepare, being deliberately blindsided to maximize pain and losses. And it is not merely exorbitant costs of living and making all commodities unaffordable, the sabotage of food supply continues unabated. There is an urgent need to defend all critical points and to focus on local resilience..

What will most do? Many are older, unfit or infirm, city slickers reliant on food and basics being trucked in over long distances. When the grid and all that is withdrawn, it will be hell on earth. If it is in summer season, many will succumb to heatstroke and dehydration alone; if in winter, many will freeze in-situ alone. This has already occurred for several decades on a small scale in poorer neighborhoods or among the isolated elderly, during cold snaps or heat waves. We are all extremely fragile. Commentator North East below nails the conundrum; we are in a race against time for enough to realize the unfathomable betrayal in motion. Whatever was the old Social Contract, it has been unilaterally abrogated, perhaps since JFK days. It should have been crystal clear by Waco, 911, Katrina Louisiana disaster, foreign expeditionary wars, 2008-2009 bank heists, stolen elections, and certainly through the continuous school shooting FFs and relentless push on the 2A. The Empire has turned inwards to eat its own, eviscerating itself to gnaw on its own entrails like some nightmare Titan figure in a Goya painting.
Yet everyone remains frozen. There is a lack of honest leadership, apathy and recourse to consumerism escapism and psychotropics as time tick ticks away.
Has it always been thus at the end of major Historical Cycles?

Actually, while I am sad about this history, sad that it must flow along, and sad about all the terrible things, I am not surprised. It was accepted in my youthful circumstance that the US was in the process of decay into a fascist catastrophe…not proper commies, both had studied Marxist analysis….still, dad especially, was naive. The red hunt and McCarthy and all of that was a big deal…so sad, but not shocked.
Hope, they say, dies last…as Minister Hempf said in Other People…and mockingbird and all the rest, plus all sorts of diabolical matters…but it may be said by historians that the Republic died at Alamogordo and the Empire arose with the smoke of Asian cities.

Biden responds to calls for overhaul of gun laws
Similar rallies took place in other cities across the US on Saturday. The participants demanded stricter gun laws in the wake of a series of deadly mass shootings.
https://www.rt.com/news/557020-gun-control-rally-chaos/
RT is promoting gun control (??)
Slaves, generally, are prohibited from carrying weapons. (Cicero wrote of this) But how can a free-man have gun control without a gun?
Guns, weapons, create two different power vectors. The more powerful vector is latent. This is when the Prince rules by consent armed men, a militia, at peace. The lesser vector is “active”…this is rebellion. And never mind the army…an impecunious Prince cannot pay them. See MacBeth…
Seriously, RT it pretty straight, but one must bear in mind several aspects…among these are the propagandized young people that run it. Another feature is the necessity of avoiding in audience cognitive dissonance. RT repeats some mythic lies, like magic airplanes in New York…I assume that’s not from stupidity, as they are not stupid, but because their audience would not accept the bald (and obvious) facts.
If I could wave magic wand to make guns physically impossible…would I? Probably not… It’s a world full of guns, and they are easy to make….
The pacific vector of guns…believe me brother, this has a Bigbig effect of rulers, they think of this potential rebellion force every moment, and hate the prospect. Hence the “random school shooting” routine and campaign to disarm the slaves.
Total failure (by the RT people)
– The Ratings Show Primetime Congressional Hearings Were A Failure
The congressional hearings that aired in primetime television on the incident at the Capitol that happened on January 6, 2021 were an abysmal failure.
– Almost 20 million viewers tuned in for the hearings on Thursday night, according to The Hill. By contrast, President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address in March pulled in 38 million viewers. In 2018, then-President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union attracted over 45 million, per the New York Post.
Just how many slaves can we afford today?
The congress wanted to, was leaning towards, sending the slaves back to Africa where they came from , and this was one of the reasons. That they could do more damage in the form of setting fires than the service they could provide as a watched over slave, (big lashes to any slave being caught with fire making equipment), so sending them back where they came from rather than setting them free and then trying to manage the former was a common political direction.
The former won out with a side of prejudice but with so many more slaves to money today, is society going to survive if the slaves do revolt and cause more damage than the service they might have provided if weren’t say economically forced into being a reluctant slave.
People are starting to ask this question entering the recession even the elite are not going to avoid being drawn into, so they are warning.
Interesting. I’d go further and ask what if the master is unable to provide food, shelter, basic services to today’s ‘reluctant slave’ in the near future. Or has knowledge of such an untenable situation a few years out. The agriculture industry usually solves similar problems with a cull – 100 percent of the herd sometimes. Also the prospect of being outnumbered by armed slaves no longer bound by ‘expectations’ and who will almost certainly seek scalps because of the excesses. Taking things to the logical conclusion means preemptive culling of as many ‘slaves’ as possible before the realization of the master’s untenable position.
Some of the things that could be by elites to increase their chances of winning an unavoidable revolution / war.
1. Seek a major distraction or artificial quests. String as many as needed with no time in between to reflect.
2. Sow mutual distrust and disunity. Cultivate a culture that incentivizes informants.
3. Disarm or render privately held arms ineffective.
4. No peer to peer communication between slaves except through ‘proper’ channel. Cut off and isolate into easily manageable groups. If they can be made to self isolate, even better.
5. Reduce or eliminate the ability to travel and freely associate. Many ways to do that including financial (high gas prices) and internal checkpoint system (green pass)
6. Impoverish slaves as much as possible to reduce their options except to the ones favor elite chances
7. Cut rations to wartime level, if not starvation,level. Conditions to accept scarcity and reduces the ability to fight back.
8. Condition non questioning obedience to illogical policy.
9. Systematically cut off escape routes and mechanisms. Leave one ‘escape’ route open ie cattle chute to killing floor.
Most of the list is in effect or well on the horizon making it easy to come to the conclusion: elites in every Western nation regard the vast majority of their fellow citizens as an imminent existential danger to their own survival – not theoretically as before, but it’s life or death now. I find it amazing the vast majority of people haven’t yet realized the extent and the level of conviction of this sentiment among Western governments.

https://russia-insider.com/en/history/we-need-great-historians-david-irving-our-knowledge-ww2-completely-wrong/ri23744
Implication us USSR WWII history has to be rewritten. USSR WWII history is basically the same as Western history.
David Irving is not a historian, he is a charlatan as demonstrated in the Lipstadt trial.
No doubt, since you have used ad hominem and avoided addressing Irving’s evidence, you agree with it. I do too. There are plenty of examples of Irving’s regrettable, as well as logical and reasonable prejudices. These however may be mitigated by the facts that he discovers. Many of these facts are inconvenient and incompatible with long-woven zionist myths. Zionist attacks upon him of a personal nature are, no doubt, one reason he seems “antisemitic”. I dare say anyone would be liable to become “antisemitic” if so attacked. Nevertheless, I find his crude prejudice offensive and unbecoming to the man.
The famous trial may be seen to have demonstrated the long reach of zionist influence, as confirming or buttressing Irving’s evidence in the Berlin zionist Hitler NSDAP finance matter. Naturally, as the Assange affair shows, the Justice of Her Royalnesses Courts, the trial must have been free of influence and entirely fair.
Until Irving discovered and published things zionists found prejudicial to their agenda, Irving was widely lauded as an eminent historian.
Did Irving fake, inter alia, the personal letters that establish the proof that Churchill was aware of the zionist Berlin bankers financial support of the German NSDAP and Mr Hitler?
They say that “If you want to know who rules over you, look at who you are not allowed to criticize.” (attributed to Orwell, and by some to Voltaire)
How much criticism did the zionists get for bombing Damascus airport? Is any US pol free to criticize zionists?
If you discovered major war crimes, such as zionists murdering US Navy sailors, would you be able to criticize? https://www.veteranstoday.com/2021/05/04/israels-attack-on-uss-liberty-the-full-story/ Or would you be sworn to silence?

“I don’t know what the best defense is.” This is what I said a few days ago. Sometimes I’m really stupid.
Of course the best defense is a great offense – duh.
Part of that is what was discussed – evolve the consciousness.
What exactly does that mean? Perhaps increase its abilities? What abilities? One of them is its ability to access and discern information. There are a number of ways to go about this. Today I am sharing one key method and no it doesn’t involve the quiet contemplation ritual (though this is also useful).
Here is a video about Water – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W80mHIGg9v0
Earth is here to assist us. Water holds memory. We need to remember many things – history and real science are very important things. Tip, the more pristine the water, the more clarity is offered. A bubbling brook doesn’t babble but “treated” water does. “They” have the information and “They” are using it against us. “They” have hidden this information from us – stolen it and hoarded it. Let’s take it back.
Tip number 2 – your shoes have rubber soles – they insulate you from the Earth’s frequencies which are harmonious with life. Taking your shoes off and standing on bare ground helps re-harmonize your body. It counters and corrects the disharmonious frequencies we are exposed to through our devices and man’s infrastructure (if you live in a city, you are being pummelled by harmful frequencies even if you do not play with wi-fi devices). Just a few minutes of barefoot “grounding” a day can help a lot; more is better but if all one can manage is fifteen minutes, then that will help you.
We are our own saviours.
God bless,
Puzzler
The markets affect the economy(s) – inflation and supply in particular are impactful to all of us – yes, stating the obvious.
The market action gives us clues as to the timing of certain events – this is why it is important to pay attention to it even if you do not invest in the stock market.
The “building” is beginning to sway back and forth as if feeling the winds gather for a major storm. Personally, I don’t see the macro picture as being ready to unleash the storm that will likely severely demolish the “building”. However, I could absolutely be wrong; regardless, that day is not far off (months?). So, best be in the know so you can do what you think is prudent to support you and yours during the tempest.
Here’s a link to a gentleman that, in my opinion which is based on observation over time, does a pretty good job of watching important financial indicators and sensing the pulse of actions to come fairly accurately.

All is connected. The parts affect the whole and the whole affects the parts. Macro and micro are fractal reflections of each other – i.e. the pebbles matter just as much as the boulders and vice versa.
I think the news cycle is changing again, it seems the more you hear about something these days, the more no one can do anything about it, and sometimes for a good long while, I think I’ll keep a running list from here on out.

“…when answering a question about the deployment of Russian missiles in Cuba and Venezuela, Putin’s official spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that those were sovereign countries. According to Peskov, it is up to the Latin American countries to decide whose military bases they are ready to have on their territory.”
Both Pravda stories are well worth reading in detail. keep copies.
Returning to self-aware machine “Mike” and presumed machine “LaMDA”, and recalling Soviet boffins, is the AI in Kremlin basement named “Ivan”? Will Comrade VVP host a telethon to name this machine? I propose “Zhukov”.
(Interesting, Soviets built some base 3 machines…and these do fractions really well, which makes me suspect that further development of base three machines has gone on and that the grandchildren of old Soviet B3’s are used in superaccurate weapons – just an intuition…many of the Ruskie superweapons are derived from Soviet work)

PUTIN SAYS MISSILES ARE BACK IN CUBA
Author`s name Dmitry Sudakov

Russia to https://english.pravda.ru/russia/121804-russia_army_base/ revive army bases in three oceans
Russia » Politics
The Russian government intends to restore the military-technical support of their ships at the former military base in Cam Ranh (Vietnam), Lourdes (Cuba) and the Seychelles. So far, this is not about plans for a military presence, but rather the restoration of the crew resources. However, a solid contractual basis should be developed for these plans.
The intentions were announced on July 27 by the Russian Navy Commander Vice Admiral Viktor Chirkov. “At the international level, the creation of logistics points in Cuba, the Seychelles and Vietnam is being worked out,” Chirkov was quoted by the media. The issue was specifically discussed at the meeting with the leaders of all countries. President of Vietnam Truong Tan Sang has recently held talks with Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev in Moscow and President Putin in Sochi. Cuban leader Raul Castro met with Putin in Moscow earlier this month. A little earlier the President of the Republic of Seychelles, James Michel made an unequivocal statement.
“We will give Russia the benefits in Cam Ranh, including the development of military cooperation,” the President of Vietnam told the media. Cuba that has an American military base in Guantanamo Bay and is protesting against the deployment of new U.S. bases in Colombia, of course, wants to acquire an ally in Russia to be able to contain the United States. Seychelles in the Indian Ocean has always been in the zone of Soviet influence. In 1981, the Soviet Navy helped the government to prevent the military coup and before the collapse of the USSR the Soviets had a constant presence in the area. In June of 2012, at the opening of an Orthodox church in the capital city of Victoria, James Michel spoke of Russia’s role in combating piracy and supported the Russian idea to build a pier in the port of Victoria, designed for the reception of the Navy warships of Russian Federation.
Following the statement by Vice-Admiral, Russian Foreign Ministry and Defense Ministry made it clear that they were talking about rest and replenishment of the crews after the campaign in the area and not military bases. It is clear, however, that Russian warships could do both without special arrangements, given the good attitudes of the leaders of these countries toward Russia. It can be assumed that the Russian Admiral unwittingly gave away far-reaching plans of the Russian leadership. That would be great, because from the time of Peter the Great, Russia had a strong fleet and army. In addition, it is worth mentioning Putin’s statement at the G20 meeting in June. After the meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama, Putin made a sudden harsh statement to the press.
“In 2001 I, as the President of the Russian Federation and the supreme commander, deemed it advantageous to withdraw the radio-electronic center Lourdes from Cuba. In exchange for this, George Bush, the then U.S. president, has assured me that this decision would become the final confirmation that the Cold War was over and both of our states, getting rid of the relics of the Cold War, will start building a new relationship based on cooperation and transparency. In particular, Bush has convinced me that the U.S. missile defense system will never be deployed in Eastern Europe.
The Russian Federation has fulfilled all terms of the agreement. And even more. I shut down not only the Cuban Lourdes but also Kamran in Vietnam. I shut them down because I gave my word of honor. I, like a man, has kept my word. What have the Americans done? The Americans are not responsible for their own words. It is no secret that in recent years, the U.S. created a buffer zone around Russia, involving in this process not only the countries of Central Europe, but also the Baltic states, Ukraine and the Caucasus. The only response to this could be an asymmetric expansion of the Russian military presence abroad, particularly in Cuba. In Cuba, there are convenient bays for our reconnaissance and warships, a network of the so-called “jump airfields.” With the full consent of the Cuban leadership, on May 11 of this year, our country has not only resumed work in the electronic center of Lourdes, but also placed the latest mobile strategic nuclear missiles “Oak” on the island. They did not want to do it the amicable way, now let them deal with this,” Putin said.
It is obvious that Russia will not stop simply at “resting” their sailors in the area. Now back to the statement of Chirkov. Americans have not officially resented it. For example, the Pentagon spokesman George Little said that Russia had the right to enter into military agreements and relationships with other countries, as does the United States, according to France Press Agency. The reason is simple: American analysts believe that Russia now cannot afford to create its own military bases.
The Americans talk about Russia’s lack of influence, money and the actual fleet. Western media quoted an “independent expert on the defense” in Moscow Paul Fengelgauer. He said that Russia does not have the necessary naval resources to provide constant presence outside its territorial waters, as it has only 30 major warships that serve five fleets. Therefore, the possibility of placing an additional station does not mean the expansion of sea power in Russia. This is largely an objective assessment. But since the crisis in the West in 2008, Russia began to recover part of its navy. The loss was not that great – about a quarter of the Soviet reserve. Another thing is that we should talk about the modernization of the fleet. There is much to maintain. On Thursday, Chirkov said that this year Russia’s naval forces can be replenished with another 10-15 warships, including destroyers and nuclear submarines.
As for the influence, judging by the words of the Russian President, Russia is also actively growing in this regard, although work in this direction has only begun. As we can see, Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans are involved. This is due not only to geopolitical reasons, but the growing economic presence of Russia in the regions. For example, “Gazprom” is actively working on offshore Vietnam. In the Caribbean, it also participates in the construction of Meso-American pipeline and field development in Venezuela. An ammunition plant is under construction in Cuba.
However, one should start with a solid contractual basis. Take, for example, agreements on mutual defense that the U.S. has with the Philippines, Japan, Colombia, and Mexico. In the presence of such agreements military bases cannot be challenged as a military expansion. Russia has room to grow – of the 16 operating in the Soviet era military bases today there is only one left – Tartus in Syria, or two, if we consider the base in Sevastopol.
Lavrov spoke “Ukraine would cease to exist”….but I can’t find the contextual questions, venue, and so on…so semantic value is indeterminate, but bracketed…I don’t remember the proper jargon from set-theory…but you get the idea. So?
So Smoothie says >https://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/2022/06/larrys-thoughts-on-ukraine.html “…, Stoltenberg’s “formula”–meaning Ukraine ceding territory for peace–begins to preoccupy Western world. But that too is a moot point, because we don’t know Russia’s plans for Ukraine and something tells me that Russia may not be inclined to let Ukraine exist at all. …”
It’s proper that he puts it that way, but everybody knows that it’s existential conflict, and while they may pretend otherwise, everybody know what “existential” means. This telegraphs the Ruskie Plan for 404 and AZE….and perhaps has something to do with tunnels.
Lest you imagine that’s unsupported theory, well…missiles back. 404. Many new ships. Sexy subs and rockets. NASA has to pay in Rubles…
It’s, I think, advantageous to set aside the last 110 years of Western History when we examine modern Russia…inaccurate perhaps to simply see a returned Imperial Russia with Soviet characteristics, but it seems apt and it works…

As to claim in modern times…the Kosovo con job and NATO bombing campaign to force the con…like General Ripper said, two can play…as ketosis and necrosis follow the landscape, so regions and people will follow the light. If memory serves, California was once a Nation State, briefly, and as a sort of game, but in Law an Independent Country…Kosovo can do it, anybody can do it…and Hawaii is going to be a thrilling rodeo…Commie aircraft carriers doing R&R at Pearl…imagine that… We @ Anoxia have long had a small political effort to secede. I have nothing to do with that sort of thing, but it’s not difficult to imagine the antediluvian folk-families doing what circumstance might oblige them to do…make nice with Ruskie Bear and get some people back to productive jobs…the Country of Jefferson make treaty with Ivan, invite reclaims? Interesting times…we’ll see. I know there’s a beautiful Russian-cast cannon – I think it’s at Santa Rosa. The casting is a superb example of the founder’s arts.
