    @Zerosum: Letting some oil through to Cuba looks better than the Bay of Piglets fiasco that Vance “was briefed on by Marco, but we don’t know much yet”.
    They were “not believing the Cuban government” and “determined to get to the bottom of it”…

    Now it just needs to go away.

    To further support the point that Topcat is making in his reference to Bill Mahr’s awful movie, Pizza Man

    Along the lines of the comet/meteor strike event 13.5K ago that wiped humanity’s clock clean and reset the have/have not spectrum of Knowledge.

    What’s your take on the Antikythera Mechanism estimated to have been constructed somewhere between 204-87 BC and found in a shipwreck.

    If you have done any amateur metal machine work, without CNC, it’s an astonishing piece of craftsmanship.

    Cutting gears by hand, while not impossible, is very time consuming to achieve that level of accuracy.

    That level of mechanical sophistication the Greek got was not duplicated by the Romans and was basically forgotten and not replicated until the mechanical clocks of the 14th century, fifteen centuries later.

    Shows human technological skill can be lost for huge amounts of time.

    The Mayans were great at astronomy but to my knowledge never manifested an Antikythera Mechanism.

    Mutiny is a very serious matter. Very. It’s when the slaves say “No”, and when the slaves are no longer willing to put up with all the abuse that they are subjected to, and start figuring out (and implementing!) ways to avoid doing what they’re being forced to do against their own best interests, then the leaders & rulers have got a big problem on their hands.

    And that’s exactly what’s happening on the USS Gerald Ford. Mutiny. Sailors are covertly sabotaging the sewage systems (flushing T-shirts into the piping which then also fouls the pumps and valves).

    Although that is a very quiet and covert form of rebellion …. but it is mutiny, and the powers that be have a BIG problem with the world re-shaping consequences that this particular mutiny is already having on the bad guy’s Grand Plan in the middle East and elsewhere. It’s hard to terrify their intended targets when they can’t even keep their own slave army in line and carrying out terrorism as ordered.

    About F-35 doctrine, policy, tactics (and far more!) being taught to Chinese fighter pilots (and the folks who plan ways to employ those pilots in service to China)

    I would like to draw attention to the “invisible” (and devastating) part of this worst possible news for the US War Fighting Machine.

    It is NOT just a matter of adversaries knowing the Air Force’s doctrines, policy, tactics (and more), which is already very bad just on the obvious face of it.

    It is also that the adversary will INTEGRATE that huge advantage (we must assume the Chinese got everything, even if they missed some. Can’t take that chance) into their own doctrines, policy and tactics which we do NOT now know, even if we knew everything about those things prior to the big leak.

    But even that isn’t the worst part.

    The worst part is that the ONLY WAY way US Forces are able to function or fight AT ALL is contained in, and limited to, those self same doctrines, policies and tactics that are now unsafe to use because the adversary has them down pat, chapter and verse.

    The US Air Force, to operate at all, depends utterly upon following those doctrines, policies and tactics to the letter… else chaos reigns and airplanes can’t even fuel up, take off or reach their targets.

    Use the old (now compromised) system and get blown out of the sky, or DON’T use the system and never get off the ground. Damned if they do, and double-damned if they don’t.

    That invisible catastrophe, in it’s basic form, applies to every other system that the bad guys depend on in order to function at all. If a situation falls outside of their secret internal rules book, then there’s not a damned thing they can do to fix it, because that secret internal rules book (on how to be a successful psychopathic anti-social criminal) is the only way they can co-ordinate their activities or get anything done.

    I’ve done just enough analog metal work with mill, lathe and hand tools to REALLY respect and admire the real guys who know how to do it well. Have you checked out Clickspring on You Tube? A demi-god in brass mechanism, and artist on top of it. He has an entire series which defies belief covering his step-by-step replication of the Antikythera Mechanism,

    Thanks for the Clickspring link.

    Ah’merica needs more trades training, far, far less college.

    As a kid there was a retired machinist on every block for miles in every direction with a home mini machine shop and they could make you any part you needed for any thing you owned for some good cigars and a six packet. :>)

    Whole blog post in the morning will start with this:

    Jessica Rose Ph.D. on the handwritten diary of a young teen, missing her newborn daughter, for which purpose she was bred through Epstein.
    There is much more about her rapes, bloody torture-“games” and her near death from fever:
    I haven’t had my stomach turn this much going through data since combing the VAERS baby reports
    ​ So. The Epstein files.
    There’s a diary written by one of the victims.
    She wrote in a kind of cypher – probably in hopes that one day someone would read her words…
    ..My brain immediately ignored the english text and went straight for the cypher.
    It took me 30 seconds to see how to “decipher it”. So I did…
    ..Do not read the words below if you have a weak stomach. I feel quite nauseated – not gonna lie…
    She didn’t shut down -despite the fact that what she wrote about being put through – would likely shut anyone down…
    ​..”​She was perfect. I can’t bring myself to write what happened. I am beyind broken. I only got 10 minutes to hold and feed her before they took her. She is mine. I want her back!!! https://jessicar.substack.com/p/i-havent-had-my-stomach-turn-this

    Iran:

    I noticed that none of the above videos even mentions the logical fact that maybe Trump is trying to prove to the Israeli warmongers, that the US no longer has the military power to force Iran to give up any of their sovereignty!

    CIA:

    The CIA built a survalence system to spy on the Americam people.
    Little did they know, that instead they built a survalence system for the Chinese to spy on the CIA!

    Training Chinese Pilots:

    Maybe Americans training Chinese pilots is a perverse way to prevent a future war between the US and China driven by the US’s Bankers/MIC?
    Sometimes things aren’t always what types seem at first.

    Regarding your comments on Iran, CIA and Chinese pilots. Three hits in one time at bat. Wow.
