re: closed consulate in San Francisco: I’d have to go to Vancouver, Canada to get a Visa to Russia which is the closest one now. Grrrr. Give the neocons a big legal hassle, please!
And get back money due to denial of use…tick, tick each day $$$$ increasing because that area of SF is very, very wonderfully beautifully pricey. Has great views of the bay.

I was at a party a little while ago and there was a woman there that I found quite abrasive. She was quite opinionated and when she started talking about the 340 in her Dodge Demon, I figured out she was actually a man. She was drinking a bottle of Crown Royal Northern Harvest and getting belligerent. She kept asking people if they have a problem with transgender people and then she went on and on about how it is discrimination to refer to her as he, him, his etc. And that it is a form of discrimination and hate not to treat her like a woman. Then, quite drunk, she started talking about the restaurant that her kids took her to for Father’s Day. I had to laugh.

A little conspiracy pondering for the weekend! Jim Stone (jimstonefreelance.com) claims that a small nuke was detonated underground in Washington, DC causing a tell-tale earthquake a couple days back.

Then, yesterday, the Empire’s most-favorite Canadian, General Vance gave a year-end interview to the Canadian media. (Dec. 1st year-end? I guess it could be.) In response to a question about North Korea firing a nuclear missile Canada-ward, he replies:

“The consequences for the use of force, particularly a nuclear weapon, would be severe not just on the part of Canada but on the part of many,” he said noting multiple world leaders have made that clear.

“The decision to use it would be facing almost certain destruction of much of their military capability in the short or long-term. The U.S. is certainly on record saying that. Canada would be very involved in terms of its interest in this and again, decisions would be made [by the government] on the specifics. We all need to know that part of what holds back North Korea or any country that has a nuclear force at it’s disposal is deterrence, and that’s very much in place.”

Bring out the sick-bag. Disgusting!! Just a reminder, since I assume that you all know it.

Most, if not all of us has very little actual/factual knowledge of various scenarios of cometary impacts on our planet in the past, and have some fairly simple (promoted by the MSM) ideas, tending on the romantic side of what might happen or has happened in the past. (the big one making a crater, causing tsunamis etc.)
In reality some of the previous cataclysms (in fact quite a few of them) are quite different, and much more devastating.

Here is an example.

A Comet Storm!!

Imagine along with me for a moment. What say we take a great big comet, say 50 to 100 km wide, out of the Oort Cloud, or the Kuiper belt, and inject it into the inner solar system. And we park it an elliptical, Earth crossing orbit, and break it up into not so little pieces. Let’s give it enough time for tidal forces to break it up completely, and stretch it out a bit. Our average fragment Should be about the size of the Tunguska object. But they ranged from more than a half mile wide, all the way down to clouds of dust.

As the Earth’s orbit brings it across orbital path of the giant, fragmented comet’s debris streams , the fragments begin to fall into the atmosphere from the south at a low angle. And more than 30 km/sec. The first fragments to hit will produce atmospheric temps well over 100,000 degrees C. And they’re just cheerleaders, twirling batons in front of a parade. The rest fall into already superheated atmosphere, and just crank up the heat, and pressure. In this way, almost 100% of the kinetic energy of the fragments gets translated to heat, and pressure in the atmosphere. And that heat, and pressure, hit’s the ground as an almost continuous, supersonic, stream of airbursts, hotter than the surface sun.

With just a few short minutes of that, I’ll bet we could sterilize the whole lush, African Savanna, and make it look just like central Mexico, and the American Southwest. And in fact, according to the fossil record, every mega-faunal ecological niche we see in the African Savanna, and more, is represented in the fossils below the Younger Dryas Boundary layer. But not above it. All that astonishing biodiversity was burned, and blown away in seconds.

Some time between 20,000, and 30,000 years ago a great comet 50 km to 100 km wide was thrown into the inner solar system. And it immediately began to break up. That disintegrating comet was the progenitor of the Taurid Complex. A family of objects in related, short period, Earth crossing orbits. And 12,900 years ago, just after the end of the last ice age, two large clusters of fragments from that monster, both with the fragment size, density, and distribution like we see in comets Linear, or SW-3. Had a celestial train wreck with this fair world of ours. The individual fragments of each cluster were so close, that in the heart of their respective impact zones, only the first fragments to fall, fell into cold atmosphere. The rest fell into the already superheated impact plumes of those that had gone before. And they just cranked up the heat And pressure.

Something like 1.1 billion tons of material fell in those two clusters. And the event lasted a little over an hour. The progression of the event was a result of the Earth’s movement along it’s orbital path, as it crossed through the orbital path of the giant comet’s debris stream. Not a product of the Earth’s rotation. So that, if it was a daytime event, the fragments would’ve been outbound from perihelion. And as the Earth Crossed the debris stream, the airburst storms would’ve began in the west, and progressed to the east. In a night time event, the debris stream would be inbound towards their perihelion, and the opposite would be true. You get a better idea of the progression of the event if you consider how fast the Earth itself is traveling.

Assuming that the Earth’s orbit is roughly circular, we can work out it’s orbital speed with some fairly simple algebra. Since the average distance from the Earth to the Sun is 149,597,890 km., the Earth travels a distance of 2*Pi*(149,597,890), or 949,951,264.43 km per year. But I can’t wrap my brain around that number when you write it that way. I need it broken down a little more. There are 365 days in a year, and 24 hours per day. So we get a velocity of 107,300 km/h, or if you prefer, 67,062 miles per hour. So what? How do we put that into a scale that makes some sense?

We need to put that number into some kind of subjective context to make sense of it.
Consider this: Earth’s Diameter at the Equator is something like 7,926.28 miles, or 12,756.1 km. Which means we’re riding the Earth through space along her own orbital path at a little more than 8.41 times her own width every hour. So, as the Earth crossed the orbit of the Taurid progenitor’s still concentrated debris streams, she would have only been in the path of that stuff for about an hour. And the two large clusters of fragments would have fell within a few short minutes of each other.

The eastern end of the Laurentide Ice sheet got hit in an area from Northern Minnesota, and the Great Lakes to the Arctic Circle. When the down-blasts of thermal impact plasma hit the Laurentide Ice sheet, they caused titanic hydrothermal explosions (steam) that lofted huge icebergs hundreds of miles in all directions. In a matter of minutes, much of the eastern end of the LIS was obliterated. Much of which probably went into the atmosphere as steam.

The ice sheet impacts evaporated millions of acre feet of ice directly into the atmosphere as steam. There was probably much more of the ice sheet that went up as steam, only to rain down in the days, and weeks, that followed than was melted to flow into the sea. As North America burned, the storms around the world raged. There were probably torrential rains everywhere in the northern hemisphere for weeks afterward. How long exactly? Who knows? We can only estimate. But for a good ball park figure to start from, the biblical 40 days, and 40 nights, sounds about right to me.

And the signs of massive flooding that have been attributed by generations of geologists to the bursting of ice damns holding back Glacial lake Agassiz are very probably the flood effects of the flash melting of major portions of the eastern end of the Laurentide ice sheet. And the outflows from the resulting floods would’ve been to the north into the Arctic ocean, and the North Atlantic. There would also have been armadas of icebergs after the event in both areas. And I expect that the glacial till in those bergs must have been deposited on the ocean floor below as they melted. So I’d expect to see some evidence of that armada of icebergs in ocean cores.

Sea levels rose as the blasted, and melted, ice sheet flowed in mega floods to the sea. And just as today, most of the larger populations would have been in low lying areas. The seas would’ve risen too fast or anyone, and anything, living in coastal areas anywhere in the world, to escape. Every coastline all over the world was effected. And everywhere it would have been much like a giant tsunami. But this time, the flood waters rose and never receded.

Much of an ice sheet bigger than the Continental United States was destroyed. The whole world was shaken to the core. And, like taking weight from a floating barge, the sudden shift of the weight of so much ice caused a massive uplift of the middle of the continent. Coupled with the powerful detonations of so many exploding comet fragments , it caused earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions all over the world. And global seismic activity was the worst in many millions of years.

Out of tens of thousands of large, air-bursting, fragments there is not one single impact structure the northeast impact zone that bares any resemblance to what standard impact theory might expect. There are a few hundred normal craters averaging about 100 meters width, in the southwest, on the outskirts of the primary impact zone there. And that have been pretty much ignored by the academic community. But for the most part, all of the planetary scarring of the event has been mis-defined as ancient volcanogenic. And most of the ages of those blast effected materials have been over estimated by orders of magnitude.

The other much larger cluster of fragments hit in central Mexico, and the American southwest. And it produced the most devastating geo-ablative effects of the two.

The Mexican cluster was approximately 500 miles wide. As the first of the fragments hit, they detonated high in the atmosphere. But the explosions retained their downwards momentum. And they hit the ground as devastating supersonic down blasts hotter than the surface of the sun. And as I said, Only the very first fell into cold atmosphere. The rest of the fragments just piled on in, and added to the heat, and pressure. Mexico didn’t have an ice sheet to protect the surface by exploding on impact like reactive armor on a battle tank. And there, the overpressures from the blast waves were so powerful they blasted whole mountain ranges aside like clumps of flour on a bakers table.

As the comet’s debris continued to pile in, the heat, and overpressures, continued to build. In seconds all of North Central Mexico was pulverized into a surreal, and blasted, landscape of heavily ablated, and melted terrains, like a Salvador Dali painting. It generated a post impact storm front, hundreds of miles wide, and hundreds of miles from front to back. And it rushed downrange to the northwest at supersonic speeds, sterilizing the western half of the continent on a swath from Mexico to the Arctic, along a storm front extending from California to the great plains.

Here is what we have from our very own Indian lefty M K Bhadrakumar:

Maldives is testing India’s patience
http://blogs.rediff.com/mkbhadrakumar/2017/12/03/maldives-is-testing-indias-patience/

“The parliament in Male held a special session on Wednesday to approve their Free Trade Agreement with China. The government was in a rush. Male wanted to be ahead of the imminent FTA between Sri Lanka and China, which threatens to overtake it like a black Porsche coming from behind on a German autobahn in the grey afternoon with steady drizzle drifting in from the dark woods, and zipping past.

The stakes are high. Both countries hope to attract Chinese investments in their respective special economic zones. The factors of advantage favor Sri Lanka, which has a domestic market. Maldives’ exportable surplus is fish, for which the FTA may help gain preferential access to the Chinese market. The compulsions are pitiable.

Provided, of course, we are capable of the milk of human kindness. But we have stony hearts. We won’t have an FTA with either Sri Lanka or the Maldives, but disapprove if China has with those countries. Male’s decision ruffles Delhi’s self-esteem too, because its lawmakers met in the afternoon when our spooks and diplomats were taking siesta. Inevitably, we have taken to geopolitical heights to vent our mounting irritation with the Maldives, a country, which PM hasn’t yet visited.”..

I have to say he has to be sarcastic:
“he ongoing US-Indian consultations to discipline the Maldivian ruling elite aren’t really working. Our Foreign Secretary keeps meeting the ethnic Indian-American US ambassador to Sri Lanka and Maldives, but the Male elite remain fiercely independent. The Foreign Secretary could be mandated to implement the Diego Garcia formula and hand over Maldives to the Americans. Just think it — a “Quad” Secretariat could also be established in Male.

Simply airlift Male’s current rulers and dispatch them to Guantanamo Bay. Former president Nasheed can settle down in Goa. As for remaining 417492 Maldivians, they can be evacuated to India and settled in the southern states, which won’t even make a drop in the Indian bucket.

The Diego Garcia formula will breathe life into India’s globalization too. Where will the GIs go for R&R when they are alone and feel lonely but to the teeming Indian cities? Which in turn can give a big boost to our services sector – as the Philippines and Thailand once discovered. India too will have secured its due place in the global supply chain, finally.

Delhi should act quickly. The CPEC was bad enough. Now we are to cope with a potential CMEC (China-Myanmar Economic Corridor). On top, the CLMEC (China-Lanka-Maldives Economic Corridor) threatens to sail into view. If these economic corridors keep mutating, it can only bring disrepute to our unique “vikaswaad” based economic growth without jobs. Read the apocalyptic Economic Times report here.”

However, in one of his article, he did feel very certain that US will punish Pakistan if it doe snot comply to it command. But in a few days, US made another U turn…

Where is Putin? The last updates on the Kremlin’s website are from Dec. 1st. “Consequence management” for the Delaware earthquake as alluded to by Gen. Vance? If not, then why not? Exactly when do the consequences kick in???

Just examining Delaware Bay and the Halifax Harbour and the two areas do resemble one another, if this is some ultra crafty imperial threat. Note: all the death and destruction in Halifax in 1917 was on the North side. (See Global News for details.)

Kevin Spacey is a psychopath being able to perfectly play the psychopathic roles. I personally like his House of Cards performance (sad, but real political reality show). And his psychopathic movie-wife there is an intelligent cold-hot femme fatale… :)

His brother’s interview (if true, but why not) is kind of revealing about the influences that shaped this pretty unique character:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5032809/Kevin-Spacey-s-father-Nazi-child-rapist-brother-says.html

I checked some old photos of Kevin (after reading the article) to see, how his cynical psychopathic appearance developed during the years. And, wow, what a statistical coincidence of such a hand gesture, as we can see on the photos no. 5, 6 & 7. These guys are all Faust-characters, who for whatever reason decided to sell out. Spiritually, of course…

Fighting Israel’s Wars

http://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/fighting-israels-wars/

“No one but the Mueller commission has considered contact with a Hungarian citizen to be a potential threat to American democracy. But then again, no one has really made the case in any kind of credible fashion that meeting with a Russian is either ipso facto criminal or treasonous, or that Moscow’s media does anything beyond what other state-owned broadcasters tend to do, but you wouldn’t know that from reading the mainstream press or from watching MSNBC and CNN.

An independent observer might well note that there is more than a whiff of hypocrisy in all of this. Case in point, the latest globalist-interventionist-neocon think tank the Alliance to Secure Democracy is currently being funded by a bundle of foreign governments, presumably doing so without any interference from Mueller or from those who run the Foreign Agents Registration desk at the Department of the Treasury.

And one other thing you can bet on is that Mueller will not be looking at the country that actually does interfere in American politics most, which is our best friend in the whole world and greatest ally Israel, the beneficiary of roughly one billion dollars-worth of lobbying carried out by hundreds of full time staff on its behalf.

Punish Israel for corrupting our politicians and media? On the contrary, now that we are officially into the holiday season, a whole bunch of goodies designed to make Benjamin Netanyahu’s eyes sparkle are pending. The highest priority item is the Trump Administration’s cooperation with the Israeli government in a frantic effort to bury a United Nations report that includes a database of all the companies that operate in Israel’s illegal settlements. Also regarding the U.N., Congress is considering a bill that would block U.S. aid to any country that opposes “the position of the United States.” Lest there be any confusion, Ambassador Nikki Haley has made it clear the American “position” would pretty much consist of never criticizing or voting against Israel.

Congress is meanwhile also making a list and checking it twice, looking into the vexing issue of how to make any and all criticism of Israel equate to anti-Semitism as a step forward to turning such activity into a hate crime with actual criminal penalties. The House Judiciary Committee has been holding meetings to try to decide how exactly one might do that without completely jettisoning the First Amendment, which once upon a time was intended to guarantee free speech. On November 8th, nine experts, seven of whom were Jewish, were summoned to address the issue of “codify[ing] a definition of anti-Semitism that incorporates a controversial component addressing attacks on Israel…[as] a necessary means of stemming anti-Semitism on campuses.”

The proposed amendment to the Civil Rights Act would use language being considered for the still pending Anti-Semitism Awareness Act to considerably expand the currently accepted government acceptance of anti-Semitism as “demonization” of Israel and/or its policies. A broader definition would have real world consequences as it would potentially block federal funding for colleges and universities where students are allowed to organize events critical of Israel. Fortunately, the hearing did not produce the result desired by Israel. To their credit, four of the witnesses, all Jewish, opposed expanding the definition of anti-Semitism and even some congressmen uncharacteristically indicated that to do so might be a bridge to far.

Indeed, one might argue that there is a tendency in Washington to see the world and even domestic policies through Israel’s eyes. One might even suggest that the United States government is being progressively Zionized because of the free hand that Israel and its supporters have, which gives them the ability to seek benefits for Israel that they would be unlikely to pursue for the United States. To cite only one example, an Israel Victory Caucus was launched in the House of Representatives in April advocating Israeli defeat of all its neighbors. The keynote speaker at the event, noted Islamophobe Daniel Pipes, explained “Victory means imposing your will on your enemy so he no longer wants to continue to fight,” before demanding “What I want the U.S. government to do is say, ‘Israel, do what you need to do to win your war.’”

Israel has been uniquely successful at imposing its will over Congress and the White House. Every freshman class in Congress, plus spouses, is automatically whisked off for a deluxe all expenses paid propaganda trip to Israel, which is funded by an affiliate of the American Israel Political Action Committee (AIPAC). That is supplemented frequently throughout the year through taxpayer funded CODELS by established politicians to find out the “facts” on what is going on in the Middle East. During congressional recesses Congressmen are sometimes more likely to be found visiting Israel than dealing with problems in their own districts and they routinely return spouting whatever line is being promoted by the Israeli government.

There is also the training of American police in “Israeli methods,” which is funded both by government and foundations set up for that purpose. Less well known is the inroads Israel has made with the American military establishment. Shoshana Bryen, former executive director of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) and currently affiliated with the Jewish Policy Center, who has been involved in hosting the indoctrination of U.S. national security personnel, recently described it this way: “I have taken more than 400 American security professionals – primarily retired American Admirals and Generals – to Israel in more than 30 trips. And at the other end of their careers, I have sent more than 500 cadets and midshipmen of our service academies to Israel before they received their commissions. And I can say that they all understood the fundamental and profound principles that guide both the United States and Israel. They don’t always agree with Israel’s politics – or Israel’s defense choices – or any other single aspect of Israeli political, military and social life, but I never found one that didn’t believe in the relationship between Jews and the land of Israel. The United States military, then, is a Zionist institution.”

And he is just getting started about the zio-problem.

Music

Music is my house
Because wide is the sky
And deep the sea surrounding us.
She is mine, I need her so
I make her follow
Where e’re I go.

A tune is often bouncing in my head
A song not far behind.
When I’m working on the car
Or digging ditches deep
I sing the blues
Or move to house
My soul is hers to keep.

Oh she’s got me in her thrall
She knows my heart so well
She’s my shining, shining light
The one I love so well
Baby, baby oh sail on
Sail on my Israfel!
