    At this late stage in the game stealing Russia’s billions , perversely and ironically enough, would actually help Russia and harm Europe at the same time, in one swell foop. This is because stealing the so-called money actually means using the stolen billions to purchase something from someone willing to trade stuff for cash dollars. Wherever that “somewhere” happens to be will will then no longer have any need to sell their goods to some other trading partner, who thereby LOSES $300 Billion in potential sales. That’s not going to be too good for future European business, now is it?

    In fact, in addition to causing European markets to LOSE $300 Billion in lost deals (the queered deals that now won’t happen) the only tying Europe gets in exchange is another dilution of the currency by essentially taking in it’s own laundry. The ONLY guy who takes money home is the asshole of stole it. Everybody else loses EXCEPT RUSSIA!

    Russia gets to cause precisely $300 Billion damage to the Western “dollar economy” without lifting a finger or firing a shot. That’s a lot cheaper than spending a billion dollars worth of bullets, bombs and breadbaskets to blow up each million dollar Bradley in Ukraine.

    The whole joke reads like Briar Rabbit putting another one over on the dumb greedy fox in an Uncle Remus story.

    I hope I’m not the only one who finds that painting somewhat disturbing.

    after Israel alleged 12 UNRWA employees were involved in the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack.”

    Alleged. That’s all it takes. While an actual court ruling means no actions. Court = Not Court. Not Court = Court in #OppositeLand. #AntiLogos.

    Our only enemy is #Reason. #Truth.

    “A country without borders is not a country at all.” Ding Ding Ding.

    People had to be removed back to first principles. But obviously we defend borders of any nation on earth…except ours. Borders are critical, important, worth killing for and worth starting even a nuclear world war over…except ours.

    See the problem when hypocrisy no longer has the slightest effect on anyone?

    “The tragic irony of our current open border policy is that it benefits nobody”

    Hell, if it helped the migrants, they’d probably have to stop it. It is importing slaves in a two-tier society of legal untouchables. Perfect continuation of Obama opening slave markets. These are the new Slave Ships landing everyone is trying to prevent 200 years ago (ie. “the Past”, as “Time exists”) but encouraging today.

    “Biden already has authority to shut down illegal immigration. And now he’s telling us he’s willing to do that, but only if we pass a new law”

    As with every word in the Constitution, and like every other law Congress passed but hasn’t enforced in 100 years but complain about daily. Like Section 230. Censorship. Evidence without warrant. And so here we need a law to tell us to follow the law about the law…then no one enforces the law, only only against your friends. How about this: what he’s doing is ILLEGAL. YOU arrest him. YOU have the power. Remember when AOC and others went there and were like #Hashtag “If only we were Congressmen or something and could DO something!

    So you don’t have the power, you win: I believe you. So then who DOES have the power? Point. Blink twice if I move in their direction.

    “The president has been clear, we need action on the border,”

    Apparently Biden has no power to do anything but has #Hashtag called to action! Since he has no power, truckers are going there instead! Your wish is our command!! So who DOES have the power, Joe?

    ““We don’t want to do anything to undermine him,” McConnell allegedly said.

    I see why that was – journalistic ethics – “Allegedly” said instead of “He said”. McConnell could never have said such a thing, his mouth would catch on fire and he’d go up in smoke.

    “seized and used to rebuild Ukraine after the conflict,”

    Again, we’ll give them to your heirs when the last Ukrainian is murdered. …And legally, your heirs “R” us! So keep a’fightin’ boyz! Everything they’ve said for months is the same. We’re going to build a weapons factory…next year. UK promises to send all 50 British soldiers…after the conflict is over.

    You won the PR battle: stop shootin’! We give up! You totally, totally took and occupied the VR landscape. However, the REAL Ukraine, and the REAL Army, government, nation, and ethnicity (if there is one) has lost. They can’t notice as they still have their google glasses on.

    “”We are coming out of 30 years of peace… from which we have all benefited.”

    Most people, experts, and historians disagree with this statement and many many books have been written about it. It is an axiom of our time that we had to peace dividend thanks to Cheney and her acolyte Nikki Hillary, DNC candidate at large.

    “Pistorius told ZDF on Monday that Germany should be ready to respond to a possible Russian attack.”

    Good idea! That being your only job and all. Have you given any thought to getting some men and tanks? When all your equipment is up on blocks in the front yard and you have no mechanics, it doesn’t give your organization a good look. — Or their leadership. Which is YOU. I mean, operationally, you’d have to at least cure OPEN EMBARRASSMENTS, right? Nope! That’s what makes him an “Expert’.

    “[Biden] is “putting together the new strategy,” which includes helping the Zelensky regime strengthen its armed forces and economy in the face of the Ukraine funding impasse in the U.S. Congress.”

    He’s going to shout a bunch of “Atta boys!” and “You show ‘ems” from across the ocean. “Let’s you and him fight.” There are still Ukrainians left alive. Something must be done. If Biden doesn’t kill every Ukrainian – much less every Slav – they’re going to call him a failure.

    ““..in a number of European countries, Russophobia is being promoted as the state policy.”

    Progressives are always for Racism. I mean, it’s Progressively-minded people in Europe, widely considered very “Left” that run things, that displayed these specific acts, right? Like erasing Russian born Classical Musicians from Orchestras, even as they lived in Britain for years? Just one example. Sadly there were thousands. How about closing their bank accounts, much more sinister?

    But heck, nothing says “Love and Tolerance” “Diversity” like shutting off the bank accounts of a well-protected and major opposition party head, Nigel Farage, right? “Love is Love” “Kindness is everything.” “No human is illegal”. Unless they’re Russian or own a bank account. That’s illegal. The one true kindness is for them to be homeless and the State re-home their children. Illegal = No Law and Legal = Against known law.

    “To the extent that Morris was not acting as a lawyer but as a businessman or a friend, these conversations (and related records) may not be protected.”

    This may not be clear, but the Attorney-Client privilege is a perimeter made up of more than one border. Yes, one of those borders is providing legal advice, but the others are that they therefore can NOT be your patron, your bodyguard, or arguably even your friend. In theory you would be sued and disbarred for ethics, or worse, any case you filed would be considered tainted and worthless. CLEARLY they cannot have privilege to commit felonies in secrecy on your behalf, as Perkins-Coie specializes in, and as Morris appears to have.

    This is why you can’t have a breakdown in ethics much more widely than just a breakdown in law. And all the other lawyers in America – who have unlimited free time to do something about protecting their reputation and industry – don’t go press the case to reprimand, remove, or even jail the constant misbehavior of thousands of bad actors such as Avenetti, running a literal extortion racket from his office. Or the whole ADL and SPLC who do the same thing. Or Scientists, especially, including medicine.

    “know, agents and managers … publicists. You know, whatever. And what I do is I oversee … sort of the squad. Sort of like a general counsel.”

    The lawyer does not oversee the house painters and HVAC work, nor would it be protected. What “Law” is involved there? The very act of you doing it disqualifies you as a lawyer overall.

    “Members of the Biden family received payments from the Chinese deal even though they did not work on it. “

    I receive money all the time from work my 2nd cousins did, even though I know nothing about it. Don’t you? The parasite class get almost all their money from doing “no work” so it all seems normal to them.

    “Boeing’s Nosedive: How Greed Ruined A Great American Company (Johnston)

    I dunno. They can have a s—t tonne of greed but still be able to use a “Wrench” to put on “bolts”. In fact, it’s far, far cheaper to do all things correctly. It’s just management. I’ve been in many companies where I was like “I can save you a million dollars in no time by ‘Not Being Stupid’, and ‘Doing what lost you money yesterday over and over again today’” and they fought to the death, then died on that hill, then the whole COMPANY died on that hill, rather than save money by doing what made obvious common sense to begin with. Ask JB. Hey, is answering the calls nicely, quickly, with proper staffing levels, and getting them off the phone quickly and happily the first time cost less than routing it to 4 operators, 3 of which are minimum wage, solve nothing, make the call 5x longer, then finally have to resolve to a specialist or manager who was the same as your original “normal” employee used to be, only all 4 workers plus the client are pissed off and wasted most of a day instead of 10 minutes? And you paid 4 people instead of one and THEN were sued for it? Yeah, that sort of thing.

    Like a guy cutting engine blocks, refuses to check his work and use the machine correctly? So we had this block cast in China from iron ore shipped from Australia, shipped to Kentucky as a blank, then melted down and thrown away because he can’t use a 0.004 shim correctly, yet no one fires him, his manager, or his-his manager, so that he destroys 4 blocks per shift for no intelligible reason at all? Or how about doctors and medical billing…but my point is made.

    IF YOU WERE REALLY ‘GREEDY’ YOU WOULDN’T BE STUPID. You would cut that s—t out and PUT THE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET, and the pockets of all your workers. It’s not “Greed”. Sadly. That might be rational.

    Again: IF ONLY these guys were greedy, I could work with them, save the company $1M and buy them a bigger yacht. WITH HAPPY CUSTOMERS. They’ll have me fired if I were to so much as SUGGEST it. Such an emotional affront would it be that they, and everything they ever cast thine eyes upon, were not ALREADY perfect in every way.

    “It was no longer about making great airplanes; it was about “moving up the value chain.” What it was really about was maximizing shareholder value.”

    As you see, it was about MINIMIZING shareholder value, as the company loses its reputation and goes bankrupt. Fast. Nor is that a theoretical, psychological event: as errors occur, Boeing must pay for their repair. It’s not FUTURE planes they’re losing – although they are – it’s NOW. This quarter’s profits. All zeroed. That is not some kind of “gamble’ or “surprise”; it is the logical and inevitable consequence of actions they were specifically warned about in writing for years. And people resigned the company for it many times. And they already had 100 near-misses for, both in mechanics, but also in financial markets and stock prices. Yet they persist in NOT making money, but LOSING it. Why? 1,000 employees told them they would LOSE money and the company if they continued, yet they continued hell bent for leather. WHY?

    “Downstream from these changes are … outrageous cost overruns,” That is, IMMEDIATELY losing money and stock value, DIRECTLY attributable to the actions of SPECIFIC persons. Yet they persist. WHY?

    “The intellectual underpinning for this change in approach came from economist Milton Friedman’s Chicago School, whose theory that executives had a “fiduciary duty” to maximize shareholder returns”

    Great! Good idea! ...Except they’re doing the #Opposite. How does your “Chicago” theory work, or your attribution they were following it occur, when all actors involved are doing the #Opposite of what Chicago said? Are they just exceptionally bad at reading?

    “Now, a naive observer might assume that the path to achieving this lies in using one’s assets more efficiently to generate more money.”

    Yes, the naive observer might think this is the very definition of “Capitalism”, but apparently, according to this article, he would be wrong and they would do the #Opposite of “Capitalism.” That is: HATE MONEY.

    Deeper: “In other words, today’s profits trump the company’s future.” Or put another way, Today’s profits trump tomorrow’s profits, or any profits at all. In other words: it’s merely time preference, not “Reputation” or “Profit-driven” at all. Time Preference is what happens when you create inflation. Let me repeat that:

    —– Time Preference is what happens when you create inflation. —–

    There’s the “Central Planning” and its effects are well-known and also well-proven, essentially agreed on, and irrefutable. “Interest rates” are the “Time value of money.” If rates are an average 5-8%, that is how much people over 300-year periods value “Time” vs “money”, like a human constant. So when you LOWER interest rates, irrationally and force markets to be contrary to price discovery – the entire PURPOSE of the modern Fed – then you therefore change the “Time preference for money”, that is as we defined, equivalent to “Interest Rates.”

    Now rates are 500% LOWER than they “should” be, you are directing all people and actors in your system that MONEY HAS NO VALUE. Or in Time-Terms, in Time-Value Terms, THERE IS NO TOMORROW. It’s directing them the same as “There’s a war on: LIQUIDATE EVERYTHING!!!” “Sell, Mortimer! Sell!!!”

    I asked “WHY?” rhetorically, but think for yourself. Here is my answer. Where were they getting this ANTI Capitalist, ANTI Profit, ANTI Corporation, ANTI Human, ANTI Work, ANTI Success directive from? Why were they CLEARLY and OBVIOUSLY destroying and liquidating their own company, murdering their own golden goose despite 10,000 warnings?

    Right here. Central Planning. ANTI-Capitalist monetary SOCIALISM. Where the Fed “Directs and controls the means of production.” Not the companies. Not the people, even. Not the engineers. Not the pilots. Not even the stock traders. The Fed ORDERED Boeing to LIQUIDATE itself, OR ELSE…or else they would go bankrupt in this crooked, irrational monetary scheme, be taken over, and be liquidated by someone else.

    When I’m talking about “Control the money”, this is what I mean.

    “When people say I changed the culture of Boeing, that was the intent, so that it’s run like a business rather than a great engineering firm.” “[In] sync with the zeitgeist of the time,” “That he felt he could unabashedly broadcast the destruction of Boeing’s finely hewn, decades-old culture says as much about the country as it does about the man.

    Yes, it does. And I bet their answer is “More Government”, “More Socialism”, “More intervention and central planning.” We gotta fix this!!! There oughter be a law!!

    And THAT is when you have no shells to send and no planes to fly them there. Your air force is 50 years old and your country polluted, corrupt, and falling apart, with “Misery spread widely” just like East Germany, Bulgaria, Columbia, Argentina, Venezuela…

    The sun shines? The answer is Global Communism. Trust me.

    ““..Trump will have to soldier on. He must stay controlled amid the tsunamis”

    No. Trump needs to stage his death and go away because HE is not the answer. WE are. Even if he did save us, we wouldn’t deserve it, nor could we keep it. WE have to decide, then WE have to do the work. …Thankfully, Trump is already a figurehead, a furry mascot doing nothing, so it’s not that hard. Like the “Wizard of Oz” they just need the Switcheroo at the end where we had the Brains, the Heart, da Noive to get home all along. God, will this movie ever end?

    “there is something unsettling if they are post facto laws “

    Yeah, uh, Post Facto laws are always illegal. Obviously. But like the Constitution, that doesn’t stop anybody and they pass them all the time. Because: universal #Illogic and #Immorality. Imagine they pass a law saying calling somebody a sissy-pants in grade school was a crime. Yeah well, you COULDN’T have done that, because you had no way of knowing that would be illegal IN THE FUTURE. It’s bad enough they pass 100 laws without sending you a mailing notice now. Better, then they selectively enforce all the laws, which is the whole PURPOSE of law: to hurt my enemies and enrich my friends.

    I remember a case where a company was sued for dumping something that wasn’t illegal when they dumped it. Yes, they shouldn’t have, but it wasn’t a law, perhaps no one even knew it was wrong. They just passed a law – or I think not even passed it – just PRETENDED it was illegal years ago when the action occurred, sued not in the past, but the PRESENT, and won. Nobody cared that they prosecuted a perfectly legal action. Suppose they pass a law saying it’s illegal to sleep with your wife, then Post-Facto prosecute everyone for all the years before now?

    I’d say it beggars all reason but we see this daily and that is barely the most unreasonable or irrational actions, which is why it’s something of a footnote in this article. They also can’t pass a law for or against a SPECIFIC PERSON or company, and do that all the time, too, daily. A famous one was a “contract preference” for military aviation, for companies that were West of the Mississippi and also above elevation of 4,000 feet. …Guess how many aviation subcontractors fit that description? And also had to have a company name beginning with “A”. I mean, Jesus Christ.

    Nope! All legal with me!

    If you want a nation that is stupid, rich, lazy, and free, you want something that never has been, nor ever will be. It’s a Republic…if you can keep it.

    Pushed today: “The American Obsession with Lawns” Scientific American, 2017
    https://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/anthropology-in-practice/the-american-obsession-with-lawns/

    No need for review. Practically everything in this article is wrong. And wrong in a really, really weird way. Like some is made up, sure. Most is misrepresented for CIS-Hetero Patriarchical Oppression, of course, that’s what Science™ is. But a lot of it is like…she don’t know Jack, so she misses the mark on every sentence? No coherent, consistent thoughts have ever adhered in her head, so she doesn’t know what they look like? I’m like an AI construction that makes grammatically plausible sentences (and not that either, as there are open grammar errors) but sentences which have no point?

    So “Scientific American” is wildly lower than Buzzfeed…seven years ago. Before Covid even, when Science was LESS bad. Even PopSci can transcend this at times, and it’s supposedly the “Pop” version. “Scientific American” is supposed to be…well, straight “Science”. …And you should see their Climate section. Unprovable allegations to the walls, calling Climate for any fire every lit, any culture or event occurring anywhere in the world at any point in history, however distant or unsupported.

    Here’s one: “Renewable Power Set to Surpass Coal Globally by 2025

    Uh, no. Renewables commonly run at 15% of their rated capacity. And China and India just added 30 new mega-coal plants. P.S. that’s “tomorrow” and are you ready to shut off every nuclear plant in America? All 95 Gigawatts, 20% of the nation? No? Then your whole article is a lie. They know it’s a lie, don’t care it’s a lie, and keep lying.

    “Turning Doctors into Climate Health Advocates Is Good for Patients”

    It hurts when your elbow does this? Must be Climate Change. Um, no. That is categorically BAD for patients. Ain’t nobody got time for that. And not asking them about their guns at home either. Very “Scientific”. And “American.”

    Here’s one that didn’t age well: “Hawaii picks Maui luxury resort as site to test smart-grid technology
    On front page, but 2009. So Maui is all self-sufficient, right? No end of sun at that latitude and weather? No? You had 15 years and aren’t a minute closer to your goals in all that time?

    And from elsewhere, “Carbon footprint of home-grown Food 5x Greater than that Grown Conventionally” (i.e. with oil in 1500hp tractors, on 10,000 acre monoculture sprayed monthly.)

    Not to be outdone: “Food from urban agriculture has carbon footprint SIX times larger than conventional produce, study shows” — Science Daily. (Literally, they cite the U-MI paper.)

    Leading to this important point:

    “The biggest problem for GloboLeft© is that food from your garden gives them no profits and gives them no control over you.  We have the technology to turn bugs into a tasty protein source:  it’s called a chicken egg.  But they want you to eat the bugs, because if they humiliate you enough to eat the bugs, they know that they can make you do anything.  Anything.”

    And like I said, not only were there 1,000 matriculated hours of this in College, after 14,400 hours of this in public school, but I read 300 pages of this stuff posted on Slate, Yahoo, and MSNBC comment section where every Left or Democrat apparently advocated for the open mass murder of every Republican, rural person, and worker? That was many years ago indeed, almost 10 years, and it was considered top “Emily Post Good Ettiquette”, “Excellent good form old chum” for 20-30 years before that. Kill. Every. Human. Who does not agree with me. Because “Love is Love”.

    That is, we’re not fighting this NOW. We’ve been fighting this quite a bit longer, as per the social engineers as easily tracked by their elephantine financial footprints, like per buying out the whole Chicago School of Economics, e.g.

    What do THEY eat at COP28 after flying private jets from yachts worldwide, which aren’t even “Yachts,” which implies sails, but “giant 2,000hp power boats” burning 20 gallons a minute?

    “Traditionally Cooked Smoked Briskets, Smoked Ribs and our Smoked Wagyu Burgers. Our Style of Cooking gives unique taste and technique in Authentic Gourmet Foods.” Think I’m kidding?  Here’s the LINK. https://www.cop28.com/en/food-and-beverage/swaggers

    This may seem all over the place, but it’s not. Science™. As the justification of rape, theft, and murder. “Murder” of “masses,” and “rape” of your daughter. Picked up from Minnesota Band Camp, where they have their own private cabin. Or U-Penn.

    It all starts with articles that are completely lies, which contain no logic or humanity, and are all nodded to without opposition, and the magazines that stay in business printing them when 30 are retracted a pop. From Harvard, the plagiarists in chief. If you see a lie: Point it out.

    …The Morgana Tweet changed right before my eyes, and yes I understand it’s not a color-match but optical lensing effect instead.

    Hey, I just invented a new Chinese Proverb.

    Those who stand close to the fire soon forget that the man behind them is cold.

    Any person elevated to a position in the hierarchy wherein they extract more real value from the system than they contribute to it is stealing from the entire, and this thievery will soon show up in the form of the entire system being continually left by these so-called “elites” in worse shape than the way they found it.

    I hope I’m not the only one who finds that painting somewhat disturbing.”

    You’re not the first to call that out. The painter was a perv (and quite Jewish, by the way) but protected enough to get away with it. He painted the same pubescent girl (Theresa Blanchard) at least 10 times from age 11 through 13) in sexually provocative poses at least one of which was full frontal genitally detailed nude. Balthus was a straight up pornographer and pedophilic sex abuser, with influential “friends”.

    “A major retrospective overseen by the artist’s wife, Ideta Setsuko, was held in 2014 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum. An exhibition of Polaroid photographs taken by Balthus at the Museum Folkwang in Essen, Germany, was canceled over accusations of pedophilia.[21] The German newspaper Die Zeit called the images, which depict a model named Anna from ages eight to 16, “documents of pedophile greed.” — Wikipedia.

    So…I’m guessing “Modern” art was really the Hunter Biden model: the “artist” gives you “access” to someone: nude models who are flappers, swingers, jazz singers, known by reputation…or children. And then you “Pay” the artist both for the access and his silence by buying his art and cross-promoting each other’s careers.

    This was probably superseded by not having “access”, the mere possibility if you play your cards right, but actual forced sex acts, however arranged, perhaps with training from childhood in the essential rightness of it, including drugs, behavior reinforcement, cult-like conformity of your own people, and wild “success” if you do…and certain death if you don’t.

    But anyway, that makes most 20th century art make a lot more sense. Actual artists with talent can’t compete with that.

    The Chicago School:

    Besides helping Boeing kill people, Chicago also gave us mass murderers Milton, Obama, Hillary Clinton. AL Capone was Chicago’s only hero and saint for running a soup kitchen and not paying taxes to 1913’s organized criminals! A true freedom loving Patriot!

    In Soviet times, individual gardens provided nearly half the food eaten in the country. If it wasn’t for these gardens, communism would have collapsed over a hundred years ago! Vodka was needed to sedate the people from revolting too. i saw the gardens and vodka first hand.

    DC’s Word Salads:
    McConnell doing everything to (not) support Trump.
    Biden doing everything to keep the border wide open.
    RINOs doing everything to keep the border wide open.
    RINOs doing everything to pull the “border” rug out from under Trump.
    RINOs doing everything to send aid to Ukraine via CIA so Trump can’t stop future aid.
    RINOs busy passing new laws to stop Trump from being able to do anything.
    RINOs doing everything to avoid impeaching Biden.
    Mitch ensuring deep state agents remain legally embedded in all gov depts so Trump can’t remove them.

    It would give me, as President, a new emergency authority to shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed.
    What does that phrase mean: “shut down the border?” It sounds like no one comes in or out, not just that immigration would be affected — like the small AZ border crossing that the feds suddenly closed with no warning, leaving the folks living and working in the local vicinity who regularly, (legally,) crossed the border, stuck. It sounds like collective punishment. “If I can’t get what I want, then nobody gets what they want!”

    Agreed. There is way too much focus on the girl’s crotch. I have NEVER seen a girl of any age sit that way with a skirt hiked up in that manner— not even a toddler — skirts do not fall that way naturally, the skirt was “artfully” placed that way.

    Lawns
    Yesterday, one of my sons reminisced about the small lawn we used to have under the two citrus trees. The kids loved playing on it when they were small…but it was under two citrus trees, did not get enough sun, and after about six or seven years was very sparse, so I put the hen yard under the citrus trees. Hens gleefully pecked out the remaining grass. It remains their space 10 years later, nothing green there grows, and the hens bask in the sun or shade and take dust baths.

    There are few lawns where I live — out of about 20 homes on the street only four or so have lawns out front. I welcome the lawns. See, we are at stage 1 drought, and every quarter the water bill contains a statement comparing my home’s water usage with neighboring homes. Mine is high — because my front yard contains an edible garden, and only a quarter of it is irrigated by water from the shower. I hope to bring all of the rainwater from my roof to the gardens as well, and my intention is for that to further reduce my dependence on city water for the garden…but in the meantime, the neighbors with lawns make me less of an outlier for the water that I use in my yard. I have a general concern that at some point there will be penalties for using more water than the neighborhood average….

    Define insanity:
    Insanity is the belief that there is more than there is.

    There was a contract to develop a residential structure in Seagrove Beach, Florida. The contract originated from a single investor’s plans to utilize single family residences as commercial rental properties. During the time of the first draft a real estate agent partnered with the original investor. The real estate partner convinced the investor that the structure should reflect features of all of the most popular and most valuable properties moving westward from from Grayton Beach.

    The residence was to be four floors placed on one of the originally platted lots in the Seagrove subdivision. A mansion on a postage stamp. Light frame construction was the chosen structural medium.

    Moving forward from the first draft the real estate agent relayed the design intent to the person doing the (can’t use the correct word here without getting in trouble with the Florida Department of Business Regulation). The plans for the structure were being developed in a BIM program. When the design intent for the third floor was received there was an immediate question sent to the real estate agent. The question was, “What is going to hold this up?” The investor was copied in all communications. The response was immediate, a phone call which of course cannot be copied without a conference call. The voice on the phone said, “Don’t worry the engineers will figure it out.” The returned reply, “This is light frame construction”. The voice on the phone once again said, “Don’t worry the engineers will figure it out.”

    Structural engineers work from the top down. Mass, environmental forces, load path, foundation. We don’t know what it is but we have a name for it, Gravity. You know, that thing the Alchemist brought forth a formula for.

    The model was completed. All of the features of the ornamental facade were modeled so the engineers would be able to quickly and easily begin their calculations. The cantilevered elements were modeled as place holders for the engineers structural elements. Like the man falling from the top floor exclaimed, “all good so far”. The completed model was sent to a wooden truss vendor and a few days later, “You Have Mail”. “Hey cracker, there’s no load path”. Rhu Rho. “I will send another structural layout next week”. Have you ever heard fingers laughing as they touched the keyboard. Two weeks later, “Load path present, light frame will not carry the load”. You know, fiber bending and all that.

    A few days later seated around a nice table looking out at the mountain of Mountain Drive were gathered the investor, the real estate agent, a contractor, two structural engineers and the modeler. Just a coincindence, but the modeler was selected on the recommendation of the engineers. The mathematician of the engineers looked at the modeler and asked this question, “Did anyone say -“This is a bad idea”?
    The real estate agent responded, “Yes”. The mathematician replied, “You should have listened”.

    At this point the investor asks, “Can it be built?” The mathematician replies, “Yes with steel super structure”. Investor, “how much?” Mathematician engineer, “Thumbnail, 2 mil plus the cost of the designed facade”. Have you ever been in room where several people stopped breathing simultaneously? Try to get the last draw of your contract at that point. (The Art of the Deal – who doesn’t get paid)

    The 3d renderings of the model were beautiful. The dreams of profit were, well, beautiful dreams of profit. Every person seated at the table with the exception of the mathematician and the modeler lived in a fantasy. All of the digital information remains, the postage stamp was incorporated in the lot immediately to the north and a portion of another structures is in place. In Seagrove Beach the fantasy continues to grow and is as vibrant and surreal as it was when the first subdivision of that government block occured.

    The entire project from inception to collapse is an example of how the most beautiful model can exist in mental and digital space and where there is no load path or foundation there is no reality.

    Start with whichever economic school you wish, and you will find the same human weakness. That weakness is insanity as defined above. The most beautiful model of a dream is a beautiful model of a dream. To believe at this point in the twenty first century that the global economy is profit based is to have a model of a dream as your reality.

    The flow of money is the sole driver of the global economy. Derivatives are the fantasy reservoir of money imagined, that will flow through human endeavor and require the building of another fantasy reservoir of imagined money. A few went apoplectic, including all standard definitions, the last time this was written. The skim of the flow of money is the global economy.

    What has been the worry of some realists since October 2, 2024? The fear the flow of money would slow and the derivatives securties chain of calls would collapse the entire global economy right down to the ATM in the parking lot of your bank, is the terror at hand. When the velocity of the flow falls below the volume of skim – collapse. Be completely assured, profit has nothing to do with any of it, it is insanity.

    The problem is not at the border, folks. Just like the Jan 6 protestors were walking thru the wrong doorways in the wrong building.

    The problem is the network of power THAT YOU ARE STILL ACCEPTING AS ACCEPTABLE (as evidenced by the fact that you are still …..demonstrably …..accepting it.

    When you stop accepting its orders and stop bowing to the mounting pressures to comply, and refuse to go along with that suicidal bullshit AT ALL, then it’s power vanishes in that instant.

    I know that you are not yet convinced quite enough just yet, as in possessing sufficient certainty to put belief into nonretractable ACTION. But you will be soon. Be ready for that moment. Be prepared. It will happen as fast as the blink of an eye so it’s going to help to have your ducks in a row.

    Benton, It actually reminded me of an old movie. All the Leftist adore it. Called ‘Cradle Will Rock” about Communists getting one over on those stoopid Capitalists who like, “work” instead of making theatre. Damn them for letting us eat!!! Scene is here, https://youtu.be/rqPE0YYgwjI?t=1656 But there’s a later scene too, I think, where he’s getting drunk with the loose Harlem Jazz ladies. If memory serves.

    What is the real purpose of the German nuclear phase-out, and why is the policy shrouded in so much silence and mystery?.

    Short answer: because of the Green Nazi Party in control in Germany at the moment

    Ecological Warwhores

    “Back in December, for example, the erstwhile leftist thug and former Green Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer demanded the rearmament of Europe in response to the “imperial ideology of Putin.” Specifically, he insisted that the European Union requires its own “nuclear deterrent.”

    “Fischer has a long history of deploring the dangers of nuclear power, and his party was of course responsible for shutting down the last German nuclear plants in April of last year.

    In the bi-polar world of Fischer:

    1) Nuclear power plants are too dangerous to countenance

    2) It was fine to demand disarmament during the Cold War

    3) But now “the world has changed” and Europe needs nuclear weapons.

    Gosh, even high school physics taught me the only way to produce the non-natural element of plutonium, essential for nuclear weapons, is in Ta-Da >>>>> commerical nuclear reactors

    You know, the ones the German Green Nazis shut down last year.

    Germany is basically alone in the world in its simultaneous insistence on Net Zero goals and its phobia of nuclear energy.

    Hahahahaaha!

    The Green Nazis of Deutschland want to destroy the ‘nation-state’ of Germany.

    [1] Blow up the Nord Stream pipeline and have no one in the German Press or politicians talk about it, cutting off affordable Russian gas and making Germany dependent on Empire of Lies LNG at triple the cost, thus making Germany PERMANENTLY noncompetitive on the global market place stage. CHECK

    [2]. Be sure there is no backup nuclear power to fill in the huge intermittent energy gaps in wind, solar, hydro. CHECK

    [3]. Put farmers out of business first with high fossil fuel costs for farm equipment, then make fossil fuel powered farm equipment illegal, only electric tractors. CHECK

    [4] Spend the rest of the severely contracted Germany budget on free stuff for the now unemployed immigrant population and send the rest to their brother Regular Old Nazis in Ukronaziland. Double CHECK

    Last one out of German, blow the candle out!

    Prost!

    Per MoA/DownSouth: Members of Ukraine’s Rada are caught in a Catch 22 situation of their own making.

    They face passing a new mobilization bill that basically exempts nobody except those who can continue to pay ever larger sums of money. This bill is very unpopular. They have been stalling the bill for as long as possible. But time has now( run out.

    They also can not quit the Rada as too many have already left, nor can they now leave the Ukraine either.

    They are, one by one, being pressured by the NAZIS SBU to vote yes or face retribution against themselves and family. Obviously many Rada members thought, when worst came to worst, they could simply escape by leaving. That door is now closed. Only the smart Rada members manage to escaped.

    Remaining Rada members know passing the mobilization bill also signs their own death warrant.

    Vicky Nuland is quite pleased that the Ukrainians are fighting to the last Ukrainian, as planned.

    About that very-dark-shade-of- pink movie, Cradle Will Rock.

    Somehow I missed that one and didn’t even known it existed until you mentioned it here and posted the link.

    Very interesting piece of work (and I mean “piece of work” in all of the various ways that term is used). The cast list reads like the roster of Hollywood’s entire A-List, which ought to tell us something without even bothering to hit the Play button.

    I would expect an enormous heap of impressive acting vignettes, with all that talent crammed into one flick, and even bigger, towering, heaps of steaming horse shit. I might watch it one of these days, if I can gird up the stamina to make it through 2 hours and 12 minutes of slyly insinuated Commie propaganda in one sitting. Maybe if I wore some kind of Personal Protection Equipment. Where in the hell did I put those hip waders and gas mask?
