    The message I get is the CIA knew a head of time about the prisoner exchange and wanted to prevent any future talks between the Ukrainians and Russia of any kind.

    These prisoner exchanges have kept a back channel door open between the two countries. That back door has now been slammed shut for good just like the US cutting Germany off from Russia by blowing up NS2.

    By the way there was a second plane carrying 80 POWs right behind the first plan e but managed to escape.

    So yes the CIA 100% knew all of this ahead of time. The prisoner exchange protocol required the Russians to advise the Ukrainians of these flights, time, place, so to be openly transparent about what they were doing.

    It is this loss of “trust” that was targeted by the US. This was no mistake. It was very intentional.

    This was another escalation by the US. This war is not going to end anytime soon.

    As people are slowly learning, the hard way, the deep state has no intentions of stopping any wars it starts. Rather it seeks to constantly start new wars and escalate existing wars.

    Ukrainians will never figure this out because they will all be dead before this happens. Same for Palestinians too. Same for covid vaccine believers too. They should have all died yesterday.

    No farmers are protesting in Europe. Actually there are no protests at all. Everything is calm in Europe. Everybody in Europe is content!

    The US wants to close the Suez Canal, therefore daily bombing of the Houthis will continue until morale improves!

    US Uniparty warmongers know they only have a 9 month window left for starting new wars, so they need to escalate everywhere now!

    Everything is so calm, the US dollar is going up and gold and sliver prices are dropping!

    Despite thousands of NATO personnel dying in the Ukraine, there have been no public announcements of any of their deaths.

    These dead people simply get “cancelled” 1984 style, as if they never ever existed. So no loss.

    This just goes to show how tight the msm/gov control of info really is. Not a very reassuring fact of life.

    Actually I didn’t forget about the energy required because you would need a good size forest to supply some of that needed energy. The forest is one of your energy generators using Mother Nature’s tried and proven green, sun to carbon, energy storage, trees!

    Your food supply would also depend upon the sun too. Don’t forget the water.

    What Dr. D said about conservation is so true.
    Whenever it snows, look at the roofs of your neighbors and see how quickly the snow melts off their roofs.

    Not to make lite of your valid question.

    The simplest way to live off grid is to accept no running water (buckets) and no power.
    Just a well with a hand pump, a wood stove/fireplace, hand saws/axes, shovels/hoes, hand tools, an outhouse, and candles.
    House with 360 porches with cellar.
    Barn(s).

    So House Speaker Johnson wants some “border changes” (unspecified) before approving aid to Ukraine.

    Then he uses weasel words like right now isn’t the time to overhall immigration because it is too complicated and takes too long! (This has nothing to do with border security!)

    No, the border could be closed before tomorrow!

    Pumping Water:

    A big factor in pumping water is that water pumps are less than 50% efficient! That is a mighty big hurtle to overcome, if one is considering pumping water uphill to a storage site.

    So basically you need more than 2 units of power “now” to generate future power of less than one unit of power “later” .

    As far as I know, hydro dams are still the best “energy storage devices” we have! We rely on Mother Nature to do the heavy lifting.

    I guess you could say, with hydro, we are socializing the work and privatizing the profits!

    When it comes to water, air, or the ground you are standing on, the government owns it!

    As Red said, if you try to do anything in the way of generating power, you need the government permission first! If you try to do anything, the government will be down your throat and up your ass before you know what hit you! And not in a nice way.

    When it comes to water, big brother beat you to it centuries ago!

    I have a cottage on the St. Lawrence River. It is considered crown/US/international waters. If you want to install a floating dock, the only kind you are allowed, you first must get permission from your 2 adjacent neighbors, before you can apply for a dock permit! I believe the Canadian coast guard (representing US coast guard) needs to approve of it, in addition to the relevent Environment Canadian federal government.

    For a while, no new docks were allowed until some bright blub in Environment Canada noticed that whenever you put out a floating dock, in the spring you get a bass guarding it’s newborn offspring underneath the dock! We have some fishermen who’s whole bass fishing stragedy is to fish from one dock to the next!

    At home in Toronto, in the early 2000s, I at one time wanted to install solar panels on the roof and passive solar heating panels.on the sunny side of my house’s walls. Caledon was choosen as the greenest city in Canada that year.

    So I phoned the city’s building permit office. They told me yeah, sure, as long as none your neighbors don’t object (everybody who could potentially see our house, like 10 to 20!) and then we will increase the tax ascessment of your house’s property taxes by at least $400 minimum (10%-20%)! Plus the passive solar heaters more of the same!

    Well so much for my city being green! All show to make politicians look green!

    To this day there are no solar panels anywhere in the town! Only a few solar panels in the country. No wind turbines either!

    As far as water turbines generating electrical power, nobody has yet succeeded commercially! Not even in the Bay of Fundy with it’s daily 33 feet high tides! All need taxpayer’s money!

    The very best example of stored water generating hydro power, that I know of, is in Kitimat, BC. My brother worked one co-op work term there, while taking mechanical engineering. There they have a dammed lake many thousands of feet up in the mountains directly above.. The water pressure is so great that only about a 1 or 2 inch diameter water nozzle is sprayed against each of the power turbine’s blades. The perfect water storage project!

    I only know of 2 sites, both in Europe, where water is pumped uphill at night when power is cheap, and then flows downhill during the day during peak power usage. They both take advantage of the price difference at night and during peak demand to economically survive this rather inefficient water pumping process.

    Just before Christmas, in December of 2023, the Fed suddenly announced they would be cutting interest rates 3 times in 2024.

    Everyone said the Fed was just cutting interest rates to help Joe Binden’s re-election campaign.

    Then shortly afterwards, Fed governors began, one by one, quietly walking back the “talk” of interest rates cuts.

    Now, in mid January 2024, the Fed governors, one by one, are now aggressively talking back the prospects of interest rate cuts.

    You want to know what I think?

    I think the Fed was out to “burn” anybody who was shorting US bonds, big time.

    Manipulating the markets isn’t a crime, if you are the government.

    Wind Power:

    When it comes to using the power of the wind, our ancestors failed to fully understand the next dimension of how the “lift” power of winds could be harnessed, until just over a 100 years ago when humans learned to fly airplanes.

    Our ancestors certainly understood how to use the power of the wind. They used wind powered sail boats, windmills, and kites. They certainly knew when the wind “lifted” things, it often spelled sudden trouble! They just missed the dimension of how to harness the “lifting” power of the wind.

    Windmills Verses Wind Trubines Leverage:

    Yet another way to visualize windmills, is they provide “no power leverage” to the wind speed.

    A wind turbine provides “power leverage” to the wind speed.

    Visualizing the difference between windmills and wind turbines:

    Another way of comparing the power output differences, between a windmill and a wind turbine is to compare their respective power output curves verses wind speed.

    A windmill’s power output is pretty much linear to the speed of the wind. As the wind blows faster the windmill’s power output will increase too.

    However, for a wind turbine, it’s power output increases more exponentially as the wind speed increases, compared to a windmill.

    So visualize a windmill’s power output as a linear graph.
    For a wind turbine’s power output graph, visualize an exponential graph.

    So a wind turbine’s power output, at a given wind speed. will be exponentially greater than a windmill’s power output, at the same wind speed.

    Water Pump Windmills:

    My Grandfather had one of these big water pump windmills on his farm to pump water from a well to keep a cattle water trough full of water. The well wasn’t a particu deep well as the water table was pretty close to the surface. The windmill was installed because the farm had no electrical power until into the 1950s.

    The thing about these stately looking windmills ìs they had big wide curved blades to produce the necessary torque required to operate the water pump, which was just a version of the well hand water pumps everybody used at the time.

    The water pump was a long steel rod with multiple plates spaced to lift water out of the well. These water pumps where not particularly efficient but were simple and they worked.

    When using the hand pump version, one had to vigerously pump the water pump’s lever handle, up and down, a number of times before any water started to flow. The deeper the well, the more you had to pump the handle before water flowed. After a few minutes sitting idle the water pump had to be reprimed again to get the water flowing again.

    The main thing about the design of these water pump windmills was the big blades could not rotate faster than the speed of the blowing wind. They were designed not for speed but to provide the necessary torque required to lift the water out of the well to about 2 to 3 feet above ground level. As such these windmills produced very little power despite their impressive visual impressions of power.

    The new wind turbine’s blades are however designed for speed not torque. Wind turbine blades can go faster than the speed of the blowing wind! They are shaped to “cut” into the wind.

    Wind turbine blades are similar in design to propeller aircraft blades, in that they are designed to provide “ĺift” while rotating, similar to the “lift” provided by an airplane’s wings. It is this “lift” which allows the wind turbine’s blades to rotate faster than the speed of the wind, thus more efficiently generating power than a windmill ever could.

    “Lift” is the reason you sometimes see wind turbine blades turning even in relatively low wind conditions. Wind turbine blades will start turning as soon as there is enough “lift” generated to move the blades. In contrast, in such low wind conditions the windmill would not rotate because it can’t generate enough torque to start moving it’s always attached water pump load.

    Notice nobody at Davos is offering Ukraine any of their own money, only other (taxpayer’s) people’s money. Like $300 billion in Ukrainian Rebuilding bonds (Russia’s money). A rather nice way of seizing Russian money (putting lip stick on a pig). So the US is indeed going to do this.

    I am becoming more and more convinced that Russia is simply going to sit tight right where it is, and wait until the Ukraine collapses. In severe delusional cases, people in the crowd only come to their senses, one by one. Meanwhile, until then, western taxpayers will be bled dry.

    Red:

    Thanks for the update on surviving the winter months when being off-grid. It just seems to me that during the winter months you can not depend on either the sun to shine or the wind to blow.

    The sun and wind both seem to let you down at the same time when you need them the very most. Then in the summer, both produce the most power when you need the least power. There seems to be no win-win situation in this matter.

    Yesterday I listened to a Black Mountain video of retired colonel Valadimir Trukhan (army staff officer?). One of the moderators provide “short” translations as best as he could. I suspect much info was lost in translation. With my poor hearing I also missed much/liiely misinterpreted too.

    Most of Ukraine’s USSR Air defenses were destroyed in first 2 months of the SMO by Russia. All remaining Ukrainian air defense missile systems are now located around big cities to protect military industry. Most of these are US-NATO air defense systems, many of these are no longer used by NATO. The newer air defense systems are all manned by NATO personnel.

    S-300 missiles need to be updated every 10 years or so. This might explain S-300 launch failures hitting so many buildings in Ukrainian cities.

    Russia’s 3 line defensive lines were designed to require 100 tanks to breech first line, then another 500 tanks to breech the second and third lines. So 600 tanks in all. (We know no tanks reached the first line as all were killed in the grey zone.) These defenses placed where Russians wanted to break opponent.

    Russian logistics have included upgrading roads/railways to within 10 km of front lines. (We know Russian logistics are good since Ukrainian soldiers complain about the Russians having everything they need while Ukrainian soldiers have nothing.)

    Most NATO supplied equipment to Ukraine can not be repaired behind the front lines and must be shipped back to NATO for repairs, creating logistic nightmares. Most Russian military equipment can be repaired behind the front lines and quickly returned to service. Only badly damaged equipment is returned to factory for repairs.

    NATO strategy is focused on using air power/missiles rather than ground troops. NATO tries to find a weak spot and attack there. Russia focuses on ground troops/artillery/air defense.

    Currently there are no assault operations in cities as casualties would be too high. He pointed to Gaza City as an example why. Also no big arrow movements as casualties would be too high, like in first 2 months of SMO. Also commanders are under no time pressure to help keep casualties down. Can retreat to keep casualties down.

    NATO/msm propaganda very useful to Russian military (like in not so dumb farmer looking dumb?).

    A brand new Russian army being formed in St. Petersburg area. (Wonder why?)

    Goal is to degrade Ukrainian capabilities and break front line (not sure what “break” means – guess we will find out over time).

    Learned a very interesting fact. C/o Col. Valadimir Trukhan – Black Mountain

    Russian made S-300 type Air defense missiles need to be updated every 10 years or so. If they are not updated then the first and second stage rockets can (partly or fully) fail. (Assuming the issue is solid rocket fuel degrading over time). Most Ukrainian S-300 missiles were likely not updated in last 10 years.

    Most remaining Ukrainian air defense missiles are now located around the major Ukrainian cities to try and protect industrial military production facilities.

    This might explain the high numbers of Ukrainian fired S-300 missiles crashing into local civilian city buildings.
