Are you an idiot?
If you listen to an idiot’s tale, you are probably an idiot, too.
Yesterday, I wrote about the fact that so far I've seen no statement regarding missile strikes on Russia from the White House—nothing about a major change in policy – an explicit, official change.
Why? Has Joe’s Teleprompter not been fixed yet?
Everyone takes for granted what the legacy media interprets as “official” US policy, which they say is something different, something new— a change in direction — rather than just what everyone is used to —America continuing to do what was done before just as always. Same old, same old. Kinda like Biden.
Today, Keir Starmer said he was OK with Ukraine using Storm Shadow missiles to attack Russian territory because the US is OK with it. Biden’s dementia is contagious I guess.
Who in the WH said what to Keir? Where are the details? Why is it that only the NYT seems to know? And there is a Pay Wall on that.
I have NOT seen Biden standing up to express US policy as US leaders were once expected to do.
Ah, those were the days!
Now, we have Government by Media….
Of course, the situation is different from, say, 1941. Or even 1968.
Of course, the US and NATO de facto "green lit" long-range precision missile strikes on Russia a long time ago.
Crimea is Russian territory – at least for the Russians. The Donbas and Lugansk are also Russian territory – and if they were not, they would be independent states, as is their right to declare under international law.
No matter how you spin it — this time around it’s the US that’s the aggressor.
Poor Mary Hopkin. “Those days” are gone forever.
So Biden hides and the Media rule.
The mainstream media therefore area shadow government for what can no longer be hidden in the shadows. Who controls the media? A handful of rich billionaires. The same people who control the Democratic Party. Distinct from another cabal that controls the Republican party.
Such a situation requires that what you might call “alternative opinion” truth-seekers be more responsible.
We cannot base our work on what the Legacy Media spin as “truth” —as Alex Mercouris has unfortunately been doing recently-- much to the dismay of his many fans – myself, Brian Berletic, and others.
As someone who worked in the media and whored as a consultant for major government ministries, I find it very disappointing.
Especially today— when Ukraine launched 6 ATACMS missiles, all hit by Russian air defenses . According to the MSM….
Oh my, the Russian war effort has been put back years!
But the Russian MoD, whose reports are normally very truthful, said:
⚡️ Today at 03:25, the enemy launched strikes by six ballistic missiles targeting a facility in Bryansk region.According to confirmed data, U.S.-made ATACMS operational-tactical missiles have been used.As a result of anti-missile operation, S-400 and Pantsir SAM systems shot down five missiles and damaged one.Its fragments hit the technical territory of the military facility in Bryansk region, causing a fire that was quickly eliminated.There are no casualties or damage.🔹 Russian Defence Ministry (https://t.me/mod_russia_en)
Of course, the Russians are lying. It’s the vodka y’know.
Newsweek backed up its forever narrative of “Ukraine on the Road to Victory” with yet another story, which Alexander appears to have accepted without bothering to check.
The RBC-Ukraine news agency reported in October that Russian soldiers have started training on North Korean self-propelled artillery systems, which indicated that Russia could not independently produce and repair its own heavy weapons in the required quantities. Newsweek
Mercouris insisted in his recent podcast that the photos of North Korean howitzers supposedly in the Ukraine justified his assertion there were Korean troops there too. Not necessarily fighting, of course, but giving the Ruskies technical advice. Or drinking vodka.
Above, you see North Korean North Korean M1989 Koksans. They fire 2 rounds every 5 minutes. The photo is not date stamped but location info is provided.
A little far from Ukraine, I think. But maybe the Russians intend to attack Mongolia.
Russia obviously needs help.
How do we know? Because the MSM tells us so. Like Jesus.
Russia is running out of everything. It’s production of artillery has only grown sixfold since the war started. And all it has is are few Koalitsiya-SV self-propelled howitzers. Probably just a few hundred or a few thousand.
…with a 152mm 2A88 cannon with a rate of fire of over 10 rounds per minute and advanced automated guidance, target selection and navigation equipment. The motorized artillery system is mounted on the chassis of a T-90 tank and is designed to strike a whole range of ground targets: command posts, signal centers, artillery and mortar batteries, armored equipment, air defense and anti-ballistic missile defense weapons and enemy manpower at a distance of up to 70 km.
Never you mind, the Ukrainians are winning!
Of course, their use of ATACMS is boosting sales for Russian S400s and Pantsir systems. Buy yours now - Black Friday every day! Is this all a marketing campaign?
Bitchin’ Glitches
There are minor glitches for the Ukies.
In Kursk, for example, the Ukrainians have suffered over 34,000 casualties – perhaps 35,000 or moreif we estimate the number of mercenaries killed since they are not counted.
Glitch!
Zelensky has visited Pokrovsk— a key logistics hub— just as he visited Bakhmut and Avdeevka before they fell. Ummm…glitchery or witchery? He puts a hex on any place he visits. Does he work for the Russians?
Moscow is not going to do an nuclear strike on Ukraine. Not when 400s are selling so well. But there is fallout nevertheless.
Glitch!
Embassies in Kiev—who read the MSM too—not having access to Pornhub in Ukraine— have closed fearing a Russian missile strike or maybe a horde of North Koreans.
In retaliation for something —nobody knows what— the US has also authorized the shipment to Ukraine of anti-personnel mines banned by the Ottawa Treaty.
Finally….thus spak the Donald
The Donald, as I predicted, is leveraging all this nonsense.
I will prevent World War III
Even though I’m not currently in office, as President-Elect, I still have influence.
I will ensure that Biden doesn't allow Ukraine to use US-supplied missiles against Russia, as this could trigger a nuclear conflict,. Trump on X. (Tweeted - or X’d?)
Trust in Jesus. Trust in Donald, who died and was resurrected.
A lot to think about.
So, for inspiration, I turned to my friend Bill, who you may know. He writes for Hollywood.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."
- William Shakespeare, Macbeth, 5.5
Biden is a walking shadow. So too, Zelensky. Poor players strutting upon the stage and then heard no more. Hopefully.
The Legacy Media are idiots all. And their narratives “full of sound and fury” signify nothing.
The Ancient Egyptian Meow
This painting show what was probably a common type of Egyptian cat. An orange tabby eating a fish. The similarities to modern indigenous Mau types are considerable.
Notice that strong,muscular hind legs, the long body, the ears and the relatively small head. These cats probably evolved from desert cats common to the Middle East as a whole— who moved to the Nile Delta where there was all manner of food. Birds, fish, rodents. Some cat species are solitary; others are very social. These were social .
But not all Maus are Egyptian! This is an Arabian Mau!
Again, notice the back legs, the ears, and the markings on the forehead. The cat has stripes, but some are broken and look like spots. Their personalities are identical to Egyptian Maus.
Take another look at YOUR cat and ask yourself what God it represents. Worship anyway.
Andrei Marytanov has stated recently as it regards the North Troops in Ukraine as an impossibility at this point in time. He says that North Korean Army infrastructure is radically different from that of the Russian Armed Forces. As a result, it would take some time for such troops to be integrated with the Russian Armed Forces if they were in fact planned to fight side-by-side with their Russian comrades.
As of now, the only thing we really know is that North Korean troops have been in Russia training...
In Sri Lanka. There are 'wild swimming cats.'
Nearly extinct.
Thy only live on fish.
NOT really commenting any more because I have got to the point of saturation.
IF it is about animals I will listen.
Wish I had NOT had kids/lived on a farm with millions of needy animals.
