on second thought:
anyone who openly brags about murdering our martyred brother Qassem Soleimani is an idiot. You do the math. What are the walls of your prison comprised of?i am to believe that one of the most financially secure citizens of the United States ability to secure competent legal representation is as shown over the last seven years.
i am to believe that any honorable member of the bar would not immediately resign and refund all fees to a client who would chose self incrimination within a kangaroo court.
Mr. Trump may very well be an idiot and the man may also be the tool of a political faction. I lack the intellectual gravitas to accept he is a willing martyr.Central Bank Digital Currency – Central Banks within the western power structure are the engine whose purpose is to drive growth. Growth of industry, growth of trade, growth of ever expanding debt based capital is the function of the institutions. When i hear or read an opinion that central banks will create a prison planet by limiting growth and access to markets i am highly sceptical. i also know the source is one who lacks the courage to acknowledge there is another foot with another boot. Anyone who believes 15%, perhaps 1%, of earth’s population will control the universe is lacking in depth of perception or has an ulterior motive. Ask yourself this question, “Whose bread is this person attempting to butter”? There are two types of prison. In one setting the constraints are within the walls and in the other the constraints are outside of the walls. The paradox of course is who is the prisoner and who is free.

Do you own your car outright? Do you own your water craft outright? Do you own your home outright? Are your clothes part of your credit card debt? Did you add the fabulous vacation you posted images of on social media to your credit card debt?

i saw pictures and videos of members of the United States armed forces patroling and, thus by their presence, protecting poppy fields in Afghanistan. These images were created during the presidency of Donald J. Trump.
What i did not see was a video of Donald J. Trump acknowledging the corruption and bringing forth court martial procedings for anyone in the command structure of the U.S. armed forces. Lest someone raise an objection. One of the functions of the Executive Branch under Article II of the United States Constitution is found in Article 2, the president is the commander and chief of the Army of the United States.

Crackeroxymoron if i am “possibly another” i ask your forgiveness.
When i was five my father was the chief deputy sheriff of a county that emcompassed a large southern metropolitan area. On a particular evening our family was loaded into our Plymouth Suburban station wagon and driven to witness a cultural event. Due to his postion we were able to park in a moderately close position to the extravaganza.
I have no matrilineal claim to anything and i am caucasian yet this cultural event was directly related to a part of my identity. The KKK sponsored this event and it was staged just down the expressway service road from my families place of worship.
I grew up in a region of the world that Righteously hated Jews, Niggers and Catholics. My father made damn sure i learned this lesson about the social construct i was immersed in. Politics being what it is and hatred being what it is there are two things i never told anyone as a child. I never told anyone my last name and i never told anyone i was Roman Catholic. I have understood that compared to my sisters and brothers with dark skin judicious use of language afforded me a shield from hated. I did not have to say “I’m Catholic” and that omission gave me the safety of just another little white boy. My black sisters and brothers have no such luxury.
There are two things i know for sure. First i know being hated for belonging to a certain class of individuals. I also know being hated for not hating another class of human beings.
Watching a cross burn down the street from your church brings a certain clarity of mind. In that state of clarity i know there is no “Righteous Hatred” or “Cultural Superiority”.as i said regulary as a child and from a now cemented realization, “forgive me for i have sinned”.

Words for today:
Sect –
1. A group of people forming a distinct unit within a larger group by virtue of certain refinements or distinctions of belief or practice.
2. A faction united by common interests or beliefs.Sectarian –
1. Adhering or confined to the dogmatic limits of a sect or denomination; partisan.
2. Narrow-minded; parochial.Myopia – Lack of discernment or long-range perspective in thinking or planning.
Those who become slaves to the Enlightenment may indeed be divided into sects. The sectarian divisions range from clueless arrogance to dogmatic, inquisitorial fanaticism. A trait common to all in service to the Enlightenment is myopia, though the depth of the malady differs among the various sects.
The most romantic state of learning is discovering how much more there is to learn. The archaeologists were pretty smug before the discovery of Göbekli Tepe, which also put a hitch in the get-a-long of the Egyptologists. Now, with the aid of LIDAR and satellite imagery, the jungles of South America are yielding information that shakes the foundations of the history of the Americas.
The problem with this new knowledge is the reduction of profit to and status of the accredited intelligentsia. Most of the “knowledge” held by the western mind is facing the same process. To paraphrase, “it’s hard to be humble when you’re Enlightened in every way”.71 years of age

or both as the case may beSaturday and Sunday millions are drawn to their television sets morfphing their identity into that of a faceless crowd wearing a team jersey. Hour after hour multinational corporations pay to insure the identity loss drug is freely dispensed. James Taylor described a similar experience: “No I do not dig the big time rock n roll, sit in the dark be somebody else”. What a wonder is the satellite broadcast of faux pagentry and talk, nostalgia inducing sounds and talk and talk and talk at radio wavelengths. Please do not forget you are a profit center and the marketing arm needs your help. Proudly say to yourself, “I Am A Profit Center”. Careful! don’t injure yourself patting yourself on the back!!!!!
The multinational corporations that dispense the identity loss drug and work assidiously to assure total lack of satisfaction might be compared to pin worms. What do these multinational corporations do with the profits so willingly provided to them? Profit driven, the sponsor of the intertainment you deserve invest in starving, maiming, poisoning and murdering children. C’mon man 10% for the Big Guy.

1979 saw the beginning of a thirteen year investigation into the truth concerning a rather famous celebrity. There was little fanfare in 1992 when the results of the investigation were revealed to a less than curious humanity. This lack of interest is quite understandable, the celebrity in question was convicted in the year 1633. That’s right girls and boys three hundred and forty six years after conviction and an additional thirteen years of investigation later the celebrity was absolved of his transgression. The ruling of the investigation? “It moves”. This is the world of the “Enlightenment”. This is the world where dogma, DOGMA to be more accurate, still holds the reigns. The celebrated “Reigns of Reason”.
Were there brown or red human beings whose cultures had produced astronomical maps and histories prior to the year 1633? Were there black human beings in Africa whose culture had knowledge of our solar system and the local cluster long before the charge of heresy? Simply stated, yes.
The celebrated celebrities of our day have placed The Enlightenment and It’s (purposeful choice of diction) bastard child, Western Civilization, at the center of the universe. The Roberts and Hedges are members of the Moral Inquisition and just like the Inquisitors of 1633 no evidence contrary to the Moral Burden will be tolerated. That there has been lies, torture and genocides is of no consquence when your emotions and lack of spiritual awareness are central to the functioning of EVERYTHING. The logic goes something in the neighborhood of:
“Yes we wiped out the cultures of two continents and carried centuries of created value back to our lair, let bygones be bygones. The important thing to consider is that we must murder and rob the Chinese. We are at the Center of an expanding Universe and our position must be mantained. What is to be done with the populists, the socialists those huddled masses yearning to breathe free? Murder them and their fanciful yet unenlightened philosophies and cultures. Taking profit from a closed system is our moral imperative.”“White Hats” The moral elite who have starved, maimed and poisoned infants, children and their mothers for profit. Those paragons of virtue who see the value of Their portfolio diminishing and are driven to ensure the profitability of that subsection of immorality. Theodore Parker be damned.
The “White Hats” have one intent, keeping their bread buttered.
The spice must flow.
Anyone Enlightened can see that.
Do we have nine hundred and fifty years?little comfort is to be found in the realization that with two hundred and fifty thousand years of the selection process humanity has managed to raise the specie’s intellectual capacaity to a level on par with that of the yeasts

Reconaissance in Force: an attack by a large force for the purpose of discovering the position and strength of an enemy. Please note that Webster does not use “armed force” in the definition. Let one be reminded that the armed force of Ukraine at the start of the SMO was estimated to be five hundred thousand. The ace in the hole is the group in question has not been trained by NATO.
Those among The Smartest Man in the World suggest that my fellow human beings did not have at their command up to date information about:
1. Location of local militias and special forces adjacent to Gaza.
2. The identity of persons in the militias and special forces.
3. The names and physical characteristics of those who have taken and occupied territory by force.
4. A widely advertised hedonistic festival adjacent to their border.
5. Known adversaries that would be present at such a festival.
6. The movements of the known states military forces.
7. The stated doctrine of the known state to prevent the capture of a member of their force.
8. The stated doctrine of the known state to take and occupy by force a LARGE area in the region.
9. Stated doctrine of racial superiority.
10. The raison d’état openly espoused by the known state.
Those among The Smartest Man in the World seem to have never heard the term “para military group”, ie “settlers” and “civilians”.Not to mince words, the moral outrage directed at my fellow human beings who have been offered the option to be slowly murdered or be murdered today is repugnant at best. This group of morally superior human beings who wholly accepted, and to a degree encouraged the murder of five hundred thousand Iraqi children to achieve “limited policy objectives” as stated by a Secretary of State is nothing less than demonic. As a word of encouragement to those already on their way, “GO TO HELL” and please pause just long enough to kiss my ass.

Small bore rimfire observation and analysis seems to be the table d’hôte at the moment.
The keyboard warriors and armchair generals should all be acquainted with the term “reconnaissance in force”. The quote from Mr. Churchill today will do as an example of small bore rimfire capacity. “A greater race” motif will do quite nicely. There is a place where armed militias make regular raids across a border supported by special forces and a known state military. Special forces of the state military make regular cross border projections of power. These state actors trumpet far and wide their superiority in all things regarding surveillance and security. These state actors enter and patrol a small area with a population of perhaps 2.2 million souls. In one of today’s news items it is revealed that private cell phones are in the possesion of members of these probing projections of power. As a reward for reading this news piece it is suggested that a social media platform is used to communicate planned movements and locations of those engaged in the border crossings. There is a known border, there is a known conflict and a known underlying objective.
The “settlers”, the “unarmed civilians” are part of the modern world. The modern world is united by the handheld communication device. A cross border raid and taking of property must surely be supported by some type of communication system. How is an armed small militia going to call for support from locally placed special forces? A safe bet is some type of handheld communication device. Another safe bet is the gps driven location system of said device is enabled.
One of the greatest powers of a class of handheld devices is the resolution of the onboard cameras and the ability to record video. The advances in face recognition software are often reported in the news space. The handheld device in my possesion has a multicamera system which of course is functional without a network connection. The point being, photgraphs and video can be created, downloaded to a laptop computer and placed into a file system. A simple USB memory device can carry files to a more powerful computer with the capacity for facial recognition software. Would this be a good time to note that all of this technology is at human scale? A populace with only consumer grade electronics has the ability to create an identification database of enormous depth. A population with a median age of less than twenty years with a unifying purpose has these tools in their hands.
The known state and it’s military administration believe that a unified and aggrieved group, perhaps five hundred thousand human beings between eighteen and twenty five years of age, are incabable of using consumer grade electronics. How does one communicate the distaste for the concept of “A greater race”?Do you ever ask yourself?

EoinW and Oxy i am a citizen of the United States and the true elephant in the room is the degree to which we, citizens of the US, have been and are being propagandized. The cartoon series The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends was broadcast from 1959 thru 1964. The entire time frame each saturday morning was propaganda, the entire time frame, including the commercial advertisements. A short list of saturday morning children’s television from my youth: Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Skyking, Rocky and Bullwinkle and the Our Gang Comedies. There was also two shows i remember that were in the later child viewing time frame, Victory at Sea and Victory in the Air. The television show Lassie and Ponderosa, the Cartwright family, were billed as family time entertainment. Not to be forgotten is Superman “Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never ending battle for truth, justice and the American way.” Hour upon hour week by week, month by month, year by year the lesson of might makes right – only we hold the truth is the curriculum. Can you name a single voice that points to Thoreau or Melville as voices of sanity? Has your child read Kipling and had a romance with Captains Courageous?
There are some who comment here who cannot say often enough how stupid my fellow citizens are. There could be nothing further from the truth. The citizens of the United States are the most educated national population even today. We have been in a learing environment our entire lives and learned well the lessons provided. The most pernicious theme in our current education process puts forth the idea that propaganda originated in the twentieth century. The second most destructive concept that has been taught is propagated by those who organize the propaganda, the idea that there has been a FREE, FAIR and OPEN PRESS. One need only look to the contests between Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Adams to be diasavowed of the idea of a Free and Fair Press.
We the People have experienced an almost limitless stream of information that glorifies what is now vastly more than a millenia of pillage, plunder, rape and murder done by blood thirsty savages. My first knowledge of political correctness, and still a burr under my saddle, was Dizzy Dean being removed from the broadcast commentary of baseball for his use of idiom.There seems to be great solace taken from the following interrogative:
“Who could have known?”
perhaps those who know the hatred created by one who is failing to go along and get along.
the most powerful nation “in the history of the world”, as Mr. Biden noted, is hopefully the last iteration of the Western European Age of Terror. Such hope is truly frail, now even the woke are calling for Mr. Trump’s return that fresh coal may be thrown into the furnace of colonial empire.

the social circle i navigate is small, i do not know one person who can form the thought that western dominance is temporal and not the Divine Right of Kings.

There is a video of a conversation between Hoyle and Feinman that could be accessed from Youtube. The setting was contrived and the role of narrative was quite visible by today’s standards, yet there is value in the conversation. There is gnawing evidence that some reject the Uncertainty Principle the Observation Problem the double slit experiment – Particle/Wave duality – and indeed entropy. At times it seems as if everything from Heisenberg through Hawking and Penrose have gone out the window with the baby and the bathwater. Nature of course abhors a vacuum and the empty space has been filled with the absolute certainty of Brooksian whataboutism. I do miss Feinman’s impish grin and wrinkle of the nose.
There seems to be quite a lot of certainty in the peanut gallery of late

Nicholas Klein,1918 speech “First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you,”
a short note to those advocating for the existence of a hidden or unkown body in control of the West. The first point is the nature of the internet, open communication. The information age has not only revolutionized communication between private citizens it has also had the same effect on all communications, public and private.
The Treaty of Dunkirk, 1947, and the first stirrings of the origins of the European Union in 1948 are the base of the timelines of NATO and The European Union as presently constituted. The colonial powers of western Europe all managed their colonies with differing methods, some more brutal others less brutal. The fact remains the western European colonization process was brutal and inhumane. NATO and the European Union were created to formalize and integrate the relations between the colonial powers. The press release for the creators of the Union was to “make war unthinkable and materially impossible”. The actual purpose was to make war unthinkable and materially impossible against the colonial powers. The evolution of NATO and the integration of the United States into the European colonial powers is not hidden from anyone. That the true purpose of these bodies was the continuation of the colonial purpose is not hidden.
The seventy three years between The Treaty of Dunkirk and the advent of the Pandemic of 2020 is an open book for all to see and the history is written. I know that the seeds of the Viet Nam conflict were sown before the Armistice of the Korean Conflict came into being. I know the citizens of my home, the United States of America, have openly supported the colonialist aspirations of our nation over the course of my life. My nation has engaged with the European colonial powers to enslave the balance of humanity.
The phantasy that the purpose of NATO and the European Union is noble is just that, a phantasy. The citizens of the western nations to a large degree coalesced around the notion “might makes right”. Time after time, year after year, election after election citizens of the west voted into place those who expounded this position most clearly. In essence the most callous adherants to this philosophy were placed into positions of authority. The rapine of the lesser nations was celebrated openly.
Year after year organizations of control were created to further the ambitions of each nation singulary and in concert with the formal international bodies. When the information age blossomed all of these existing organizations had the advantages of instant communication that private citizens acquired.
There seems to be a feeling that, “My view has changed and there is suddenly a new phenomena emerging”. Let it be suggested, guess again. Buyers remorse is part of the human experience.

crackerphoenix the reason i am a carpenter and not working playing popular music is i could not properly support my children in the night club scene and those were the gigs available. When i was fifteen and attempting to self teach myself piano my mother stood behind me for a moment as i struggled with one of the Inventions and commented “your taste is all in your mouth”. On the path it takes a long time from the moment you are introduced to Piston and music as math for the benefit to appear in your playing, that is my experience. I am a mechanic not a musician, as a mechanic value is in the music not in one’s ability. “I’ll See You in My Dreams” is one of those 20th century folk music pieces that remains. The Chet Atkins, Mark Knopfler recordings are quite nice. Yes most popular music is produced and consumed. Rascal Flatts is one example of a studio/label producing music and then marketing a band as the creators. The Monkees were perhaps the earliest open example of such activity. One of my friends worked as a stable drummer for a man that owned a small label. My friend was with the same players under differing names over the course of each month based on regional sales of records. None of those players were on any of the promoted recordings.

V. Arnold, our resident mining engineer can probably help with some of the electric vehicle quandries. Commercial trucking is what catches my attention. The amount of copper that would be needed to bring fast charging for commercial vehicles along the US interstate highway system into being is not on hand. Copper is the “One” for high ampacity transmission and that is fast charging. The second problem is the added weight of the battery and the extra ton allowed for electric commercial vehicles. The road beds are designed to weight per travel mile. Reduce the payload of the vehicle means increase the traffic. Catch 22 for aging roadbeds. Manufacture of cement is one of the most energy comsumptive human activities and as we are told petroleum and thus asphaltic concrete are on the way out. No copper, no inexpensive limestone based concrete and no asphalt. Over simplification of the situation, my specialty. I just know that you need a piece of string to fly a kite.
Transportation in the west needs to be rethought. I am not as pro automobilejb-hb the skim from the English colonial system is what financed all of Victoria Queen of the Ocean and the colonization of Australia as a penal colony.
yes human beings are as brutal as they appear to be, every single one of us, without exception
jb-hb when one looks at the debt load carried by all western economies it is clear there is not enough value added production to sustain any of those economies. When a person looks at debt to earnings ratio in the mainstream economy as well as any government economy all that one sees is debt. Going along to keep the get along going is skim. I certainly am not innocent. Every plan set i produce for residential or light commercial projects is paid for by debt skim. Real estate, construction and mortgage lending are all based on upfront skim of the underlying debt. The United States economy has been non-productive far longer than most care to admit. Nixon and the Petrodollar noted the end of any recognizable productive activity in the US. The Petrodollar is the most recognizable face of the skim. Living in a western society means you are part of the skim. That “public relations” ,as discussed yesterday, has painted a noble face on consorting with the devil that in no way changes the reality of going along to get along.
The larger your personal debt load, the greater your part of the skim. No matter that oxy is a noble man, the economy he lives within is bankrupt and depends on skim of debt. Why do you think over 500,000 human beings have been murdered in the last eighteen months? Without that skim you, i and everyone in western culture is a pauper.
thank you for responding,
crackerDr D, on the immigration circumstance. Keep your friends close keep your enemies closer. The humans who would stand up and resist are being brought to the United States to prevent resistance to the wholesale rape of their nation of origin. Much cheaper to place the immigrants among a docile and passive population, who are already betrayed, than to have your bidness men shot on site on sight.
to paraphrase Rodney Carrington, It has happened here once, a lot of times
oxymoron the “Normies” know their entire world would collapse without their part of the skim. My friend where will the funds to support your promotion and gigs come from? The skim. Where did the funds to colonize Australia originate? The skim.
What is happening in the U.S. Congress right now is perhaps the most cynical protection of the skim ever. The citizens of the United States have been informed about “missing funds”, expensive hammers and unaccounted for military equipment for decades. We know that our public servants, beggars mounted, insure corruption for their part of the skim. What little i have is my part of the skim. I know that i have been completely ineffective in my protests over the last fifty eight years. I am still breathing, that is all the proof needed.
