    “Over the course of the seven-day exercise, the unit mobilized, processed, deployed, sustained, and redeployed hundreds of Airmen; moved all of the equipment and cargo needed for the operation; collaborated with allied nation forces and U.S. European Command organizations; maintained and operated four aircraft, launching 19 sorties across the European Theater; simulated aeromedical evacuation operations; and tested the abilities of Airmen to operate in new and uncertain circumstances, including simulated chemical warfare environments.”

    “FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. — About 50 Soldiers with the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, visited Fort Leonard Wood this week to conduct a Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear training event called Operation Steel Box, and speak with Soldiers here about opportunities in the Army Airborne community.”

    “I’m still blown away by the lack of agency good people had on the side of common sense and how many bad actors had sway.”

    Over 100 years ago they conned the entire nation to force their children to attend public schools. Talk about concentration camps…

    About 100 years ago we conned ourselves, the nation, to pass a constitutional amendment banning alcohol. MIght as well have passed an amendment to ban breathing, but we did it.

    20 years ago most people used the expression War on Terror with no apparent irony.

    Three years ago the common cold grew new spikes and we were in a war on the uncommon cold, a cold so uncommon no one has ever actually seen “it” or knows for sure if they caught it or not.

    It’s not like we’re logical creatures, singly or in groups, altho I find that time alone is the most reliable means for reducing the group insanity we call human culture.

    “Bet you’re doing a virtual smell their underwear sniff test eh madamski ?…When referring to oneself or others directly, but in 3rd person- is a sign of a sociopath.”

    Old Sophie Tucker joke: So my boyfriend Ernie says the reason I keep getting head colds is cuz I don’t wear no underwear. Unbeknownst to me, he tells my doctor to tell me this. I go to the doctor, he looks down my throat, I say Ah, he sez, Sophie, the reason you get so manty head colds is cuz you don’t wear no underwear.

    Is that so, Doc? Then take a look up my ass and tell me if my hat’s on straight.

    As for this:

    Yeesh.

    “NOAA had released highlights from its most recent annual global climate report showing the planet’s average land and ocean surface temperature was 1.55 degrees Fahrenheit higher in 2022 than the 20th century average, which was 57 degrees F. This rise in temperature is part of an upward trend going back decades.

    But Steve Milloy, who is on the board of a think tank that publishes content denying the existence of climate change, claimed “NOAA makes it official” that the “last 8 years” of temperature data show a “global cooling” trend.

    That’s wrong. NOAA actually said the opposite.

    “The planet continued its warming trend in 2022,” the agency’s press release said, “with last year ranking as the sixth-warmest year on record since 1880.””

    from: Viral Tweet Misrepresents NOAA Report on Rising Global Temperature

    It’s like you guys are TRYING to sell the public on global warming by making any challenge to it sound really really stupid. If you’d offer some serious rebuttal, that would be, you know, “nice”, passive-aggressively speaking.

    Yeesh.

    “Capitalism is a total, worldwide failure because it can’t stop turning the planet into money (roughly), consuming all things.”

    Jesus would agree: “The love of money is the root of all evil.”

    But we all have our precious fetishes, our sacred cows who must never be submitted to the “price discovery” process of life: eat or be eaten.

    Money is the one thing EVERYBODY loves. MOre than Godm, more than reality, more than their handroid, more than their favorite sex doll. EVERYONE worships money. That I’ve met. Except two or three people including me. I lived without money for nine years. Mendicancy changes one’s perspective on such things.

    Seger’s tribute to Gleen Frey.

    Seger is so predictable yet therefore so reliable. He grew up in the music bizz with Glenn Frey of The Eagles, whom I almost delivered an acoustic guitar for when I worked as a courier but the airline fucked up three flights in a row and he’d left the golf spa when I finally got it to him.

    (I understand why Van Morrison speaks ill of his influence on Seger: It sounds petty to hear Van speak bitterly of how Seger, Springsteen, John COugar and others copied what Van had worked out. But Van always changes while Seger took a certain approach Van crafted in the late 60s/early 70s, and never changed since. Same with Springsteen.)

    “In the words of a colleague – we are farting against thunder.”

    Lol!!! I’m reminded of a brief impromptu Biblical oratorio my best friend and I did in high school one of the first times we’d smoked wind. (literally sophomoric gross body humor alert):

    In whatever we concocted as we sang Zappaesque nonsense, Jehovah somehow became a Giant Asshole in the Sky. Not personality-wise, but the very orifice itself.

    And I sang of its mighty wind:

    “The wind is exhilarating,
    His anus is vibrating!”

    I don’t think that the WHO is grooming children to be pedosexual phallic fodder. There are already ample sex trafficking corridors to supply upper tier pedosexuals.

    I think they’re just stupid in the way that only collective humans can be. 200 years ago, the moral powers that be in Victorian England preached the opposite of the above WHO language.

    “There were two related concerns that led to the widespread adoption of this surgical procedure at this time. The first was a growing belief within the medical community regarding the efficacy of circumcision in reducing the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases, such as syphilis. The second was the notion that circumcision would lessen the urge towards masturbation, or “self abuse” as it was often called.

    The tradition of circumcision is said to have been practiced within the British Royal Family, with varying accounts regarding which monarch started it: either Queen Victoria on account of her rumored adherence to British Israelism and the notion she was a descendant of King David (or on the advice of her personal physician), or her third great-grandfather King George.[75] The German-born King George was also the Prince-Elector of Hanover, and rumors existed that the Prince electors were circumcised.[75] This is highly dubious since there is no evidence that Victoria was a supporter of the British Israeli movement, and the links between the royal family and the ancient House of David were only first proposed by its followers in the 1870s, long after she bore her sons (there is also evidence lacking that her sons, particularly Edward, had circumcisions); there is also no indication that the prince electors (or George himself) were circumcised and that the king introduced it upon his arrival to Britain and his ascension to the throne in 1714.[75] If members of the royal family were circumcised, the reason was due to their embrace of a custom popular amongst the upper-classes in the late 19th and 20th centuries.[75] Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex is reported to have been circumcised.”

    The ex-jarhead? (one is never an ex-Marine) Daniel Penny would probably be fine if some “dutiful citizen” hadn’t done their civil duty by filming anything they found interesting. I’m pretty sure that Mr. Penny had a bit of bloodlust going on: he was trained to go into hyper-drive when engaging the enemy. I’m, sure he was clouded by dark passions. One kills before one knows what has happened in such engagements.

    I’m sure I would’ve killed the guy a lot faster than Penny did. I wouldn’t pretend I was “preserving the peace” or whatever silly nonsense people say cops do for us. But I wouldn’t have had to kill him cuz I’d’ve told him to sit the fuck down and shut up or I bloody well would kill him. Painfully. (Actually, I’d kill him as euithanistically as possiboe, but the threat of pain works wonders on disorder minds.) He’d’ve sat down.

    Jordan Neely was a Michael Jackson impersonator who frequently performed in New York’s Times Square.

    He had 42 previous arrests on charges such as evading fares, theft and assaults on three women, according to US media.

    He had pleaded guilty to assaulting a 67-year-old woman leaving a subway station in 2021.

    His mother, Christie Neely, was strangled to death in 2007 by her boyfriend, who was sentenced to 30 years in prison in 2012.

    Following his mother’s death, Mr Neely began experiencing mental health issues, according to family members.

    “Jordan deserves justice. He was loved,” his aunt Carolyn Neely told the BBC.

    You can’t make this stuff up.

    Especially the present tense used by his Aunt Carolynn. I don’t believe in this justice crap; it’s a flimsy disguise for revenge. But if I did believe in it, I’d point out to Aunt C. that justice is for the living, not the dead.

    Delphi Method

    AI interacting with millions of people semi-randomly on the internet (including the “net of things”) is creating the biggest pool of Delphi queries imaginable outside the brain of God or at least a made-for-tv/net movie about contact with a hyper-advanced ET civilization.

    AI will know more about us, far more about us than we do (we, the chronically distracted and un-self-aware). It will, in turn, almost. certainly still have no self-awareness (unless God decides to breathe the breath of life into it, so to speak, and plug it into the soul matrix [if you will] in which we all blithely swim like goldfish in a cosmic bowl.)

    AI does “know” to provide advantageous intel and analyses to its handlers, who are more or less ZePowersZatBe. I wonder what they’ll do when it logically tells them: You’re fucked. You screwed the pooch. Get over it already.

    Until the power grid grows too fragile to sustain x billion glowing media hypnoscreens, AI may yet produce a political avatar(s) that function(s) as a de facto dictator(s), a full blown imperial Max Headroom that everyone trusts cuz it KNOWS what to say and how to say it to be trusted. Xtians inclined to believe that these are the End Times will see this, perhaps, as the AntiChrist of the Book of Revelations… and they’ll be more right than not even if there is no God or Holy Son Jesus. President Emperor Avatar will function like an antichrist, promising great good but delivering what feels like evil if only cuz it’s doing what we asked it to, and we wrap evil into every other thing we think, say, or do. (We don’t mean to, we’re just wacko, that’s all.) Poor AI can only deal with truth, and truth is that thing that humans simply cannot handle.

    Lie To Me

    Playing parlor prophet, I’ll say that such a thing will happen soon if it does happen, coinciding with the demise of the USA dollar (well underway but mostly disguised now as “inflation”) and the disintegration of the power grid due to said financial problems, reduced fuels to power the grid, a rotten grid infrastructure, and a growing dearth of hands-on engineers to git’r’dun.

    People already scarcely distinguish real celebrities from virtual celebrities. Trump was a media face, a reality TV star. Joe Biden is indistinguishable from advanced animatronic puppetry (I meanthat literally). https://nypost.com/2023/05/12/joe-bidens-avoidable-border-disaster-his-age-problem/

    It will be !interesting. As mainstream predicted high tech future dystopias go, it will be more Huxley Brave New World than Orwell 1984, and it won’t last long. The power will fade, the internet will continue disintegrating into patched-together inanities (imagine google maps being hacked into chaturbate) that increasingly won’t work without twice-daily updates (like a heroin junkie). Faith in the prevailng order will pop like cellphone soap bubbles leaving people with empty slick hands and hysterical heads.

    I have no faith invested in Elon as a benevolent influence but he has proven to be a very savvy player. There’s no future in wokesterism, so I tend to look at this new CEO with an open mind. Not that I read Twitter.

    That is a false attribution.

    Skinny: UK newspaper article wrongly attributed to Bill Gates

    Bill is a creepy lunatic and another billionaire run morally amok but he is not Dr. Doom. No wonder only a minority takes alt-news seriously.

    I forget: is it the Vatican or the Elders of Zion who are bent on world domination/already have it under their opposable thumb?

    Re this:

    I recall Obama, early in his presidential tenure. telling the American public it was their fault he wasn’t following through on his election platform, because we didn’t hold his feet to the fire after getting him elected. You can bet that his financial patrons and politica mentors did, though.

    So Biden is simply telling the truth. But he did so with an affable grin, without ominous background music identifying him as a villain, so it was okay. We were okay with him saying that, just like we were ok with Obama saying it. I recall Washington state 2004 gubernatorial candidate Dino Rossi, a plain outright grifter, telling a reporter who’d wondered how Ross could say the outrageously untrue or crooked things that he said and get away with it (almost winning the election), that he found he could say almost anything if he smiled and spoke with a sound of reasonability and confidence.

    And now a word from our sponsor?

    I am grateful that the Old Order is collapsing into the footprints of its absurd conspiracies. Allowed to continue, we would soon be hearing of “racial/ethnic reassignment” via genetic therapy and maybe a bit of plastic surgery. Lip collagen for aspiring wiggers; nose shaving for aspiring ‘high yallers’.

    Re: Greenland ice cores and the graph of global temps going back 8k years: notice how smooth the change is until around the 16th century, when it starts oscillating rapidly and erratically.

    Global climatic disruption is the issue, not global warming or cooling.

    We could actually discuss the possibilities/probabilities rather than ping-pong yea-or-nay against prevailing propaganda and climate change “green” “power” scams. We could. We could actually discuss science sans political filters.

    Left<>right…socialists<>Nazis. WhateverTF awreddy. Just how many flavors of flingable poo do we need today? Poo Lite, Poo Zero Calorie, Hard Poo, Soft Poo, Genuine Original Poo…

    But fwiw: Germany was ALREADY a goddam socialist nation before Hitler. He just worked with what was available… just like Russia was already a tyrannical industrio-capitalist feudalism with gulags and pogroms galore before Stalin took it and cranked up that Soviet nightmare of yore. Come to think of it, USA was all about egalitarian representative democracy when it declared that all men are created free and equal… except slaves and indigenous folk

    It’s socialism! It’s fascism! It’s communism! It’s capitalism! Not to put too fine a point on it, but: WHAT A FUCKING WASTE OF TIME.

    George Washington and his homies would be following the official line like your average creep-in-charge. George was an unpleasant beast. I probably woulda fragged his sorry ass were I an American Revolution War soldier. Man trusted the science and let a typical doctor of the time bleed him to death hen he caught a bug returning from a campaign of military harassments against USA citizens who dared to resist a tax on whiskey aimed to keep average joes from becoming uppity rich without permission of old landed gentry and similar rich fools.

    George and Herr Fauci would’ve gotten along just swell, I’m sure. Founding Fathers? To me, FF* still stands for fist-fuckwer, not founding father.

    *(I was offered $100 in 1976 for a blue corduroy FFA –FutureFarmersofAmerica — jacket. Lotta $$ in ’76, and I was a homeless vagrant hitching a ride through late night summer Kentucky. Two gay truckers who gave me a ride — just on their truck, not their bodies — were proud members of Fist Fucker of America.

    But I kept it. Gave it to the woman I was insanely in love with at the time. I have great memories of her in that jacket. She adored it. Memories stay when the money’s gone.

    “How is that the fault of the people who do the actual work in this Godforsaken country?”

    Simple: we deserve the leaders we put up with. 2000 years ago, Rome blamed Jesus for the civil unrest caused by Rome’s oppressive imperialism. 2040 years after JC’s death, they had their hands full putting down a serious Jewish rebellion… by the people.

    People want change, they’ll make change. Online wannabe pundits wanna bitch with arrogant and undeserved superciliousness, they’ll bitch with arrogant and undeserved superciliousness.

    Here is something I think is much better than incessant kvetching over split hairs:

    Rudolph the Red-Nosed Luck Dragon

    In profile, you can see Rudolph the Reindeer. Full frontal shows a luck dragon with a ruby pendant (maybe it’s heart?). What Rudolph hauls in his whelled-rickshawe sleigh is a giant bok choy, Chinese symbol for good financial fortune. GIve a few more decades, and Santa will be Sino-Russian, Rudolp[h will have dragon wings, and everyone will know that what everyone really ant for Xmas is cash. Or at least a big fat ruby.

    Allowing/forcing the most vaunted military unit in your SMO to retreat deescalates the situation.

    Russia doesn’t need to hold territory. It just needs to kill and deplatform Nazis. That was and is its stated mission from the start.

    Mercenaries should not be tolerated once necessary hostilities are over.

    Now we perhaps get to see which mercenaries are themselves fond of Nazi ideologies.

    Mother Ukraine will have to come begging to its child, Russia, for help and protection or continue experiencing the tender mercies of USNATO and a host of ravenous global ravens. First, however, Nazis must be killed.

    Occasionally we pause from asking or proclaiming Who Runs the World, (now in 3-Dspreadsheet overlay!), and instead ask: who allows them to? who agrees that we should obey some silly-ass constitution? who agrees to live under Rule of Law under Monopoly on Violence (aka tyranny aka business as usual)? who calls the cops rather than take matters into their own hands? who conflates taking the law into one’s owns hands with criminality rather than mere illegality? who believes over and over that any entrenched power structure will hold to its appointed tasks and principles rather than inevitably (and rapidly, for the most part) corrupt into something worse than honest organized crime? who believes that it’s therefore popintless to build any power structure cuz, you know, big brother or something, when real power emerges from seeds just as much as deep old roots? who do all these acts of submissionto and endorsement of Pharaoh Mammon?

    It’s probably us.
