Hello Karen, it's nice to have a bit of peace come through no matter how brife it is. The Evangelical Christians are calling for war on Iran even though Israel came out relatively undamaged. Just like all of wars, those that want war the most set behind desks,and are in no danger. It feels as if Biden needs war to keep his money coming in, so war we will have. If Trump were in we'd be in the same spot. It's hard to say when Washington became a subdivision for Israel it may be as far back as WW2.
We're stuck with it now. As I see it the big shots really want a full out nuclear war.
Last thing first. No problem - nukes are psyops! They still have lots of big stuff but no nuclear wastelands.
I agree they're all eager for war and have been all along. That little chorus line of "no spreading the conflict broader in the region" was total fiction. Probably all had fingers crossed.
It's just like the constant "no rules broken" stars for Israel after the "worst" offenses against humanity. They can't make it any clearer that "Animal Farm" is the real documentary. We're just the farm critters. No questions or even thoughts allowed. So this may get pretty dark. But those Evangelical Christians are about to see what getting what you ask for means.
It's about to get wild - insane, even if not fast moving every day. But i.was prepared for this. Just because of how stupid Netanyahu is. They can't afford to let a bullet or lightning bolt find him until he's gotten this party underway to the point it's irreversible.
Another episode out tomorrow regardless of what happens overnight. This is too important to miss all the nuances. So much of the story is in them.
Very true, Karen. As we wait and see what our fearless leader does (besides poop his pants ) we have the fun of knowing that lots of old farm dogs still can bite.
No doubt in the main part of them. I managed to partially convert a few, but nowhere near to completely! I find the stronger binds to be religious rather than age. But it's certainly an aggravating factor!
Yes. Many have been for as long as there's been an Israel. The Brits in particular had the region all primed except Palestine for the Exodus. I believe the US was completely infiltrated with Zionists since before the turn of the 20th C. But they weren't as visible in that operation. Gaza happened before.on a much bigger score. Nabka, I think they call that genocide. If you can find it in print anymore. No objections from the neighborhood then. Even just verbal ones like today.
I read the book The Exodus in High School during class. It was a definite mark on my psyche. Don't think I ever saw the movie though. Or even others like Schindler's List. It did inspire me to go on a school trip to then Soviet occupied Germany where Potsdam, Nuremberg, Dresden, Weimar, and Buchenwald were on the itinerary. Another mark. Trying to reconcile so much evil in such great places only 30 years beyond. Italy was the majority of that trip but we had 10 days in Germany - almost all in the Eastern republic. I can still visualize a great deal of it now.
I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Germany, France, and Scandinavia. Only got to Italy a handful of times. Not a big destination for some reason for the groups I travelled with.
I probably should pick up Exodus and watch it again. I haven’t seen it in decades now. I had forgotten that until you triggered that memory.
An exhaustive summary of prior, during and post. You’ve once again done your homework.
It’s interesting to see the differing interpretations of events. Of course anyone following Ukraine at all is kind of familiar with the methodology the Russians have used to crack the air defense. I don’t think a lot of people realize how long the Russians worked on this system dependent on various goals. It will be interesting to see Israeli response. My personal opinion is they will have to do something. Hopefully the Iranian comeback will be more emphatic next time. This rather passive attack I believe has been misunderstood. Possibly not by the more initiated but who really knows how many of those folks are around.
Exhaustive I know probably means exhausting. I just can't make myself pare the picture down to even an apple and orange on a plate instead of the full cornucopia!
Western militaries treat war like a sport; the only real trophies are casualties. The eastern mind doesn't work like that. It's much more about messaging. Whether it's kinetic, asymmetric, economic, psychological - the most important thing besides winning is the enemy getting your message. As I think was amply understood by the sources we follow who understand that.
All Israel/Netanyahu perceived today is embarrassment. All there was to do was defend. And other than the low tech junk drones and old cruise missiles they spent more than $1B swatting flies. The thankfully few ballistic missiles evaded their defenses at least 50% of the time. If for no other reason he needs his defenses to get more target practice.
Q drops told us Easter was the start. Well yesterday was Catholic/Christian Easter on the Julian calendar. One of the reasons that was our ending. The one day calm before the storm.
I enjoy your analysis. You don’t miss anything. You let me decide what’s important. Others make that choice for me with their analysis.
I did see something that Simplicius had regarding the missiles that actually did the damage. I don’t remember if it was him or somewhere else who drew the comparison with a late North Korean creation. We have a tendency to forget about them but they’re grinding away in the background.
A hell of ROI for their defense though. Chi has to be grinning as the missile defense capabilities of Israel and Ukraine suck up Western resources.
There's never been a more potent alliance than Russia - China - Iran. Some of their strength has been handed to them by Western wokeness decimating their troops' readiness and numbers. But the technology and weaponry designs are almost all due to those countries efforts and willingness to invest their lives into it. The only Western contribution has been destroying the education systems and demanding higher than ever profits from recycled barely altered remakes. The extreme maintenance required on sub par performance American (especially) weapons cuts both ways. Our own forces can't have the funding to maintain highest readiness. Maybe even medium readiness.
This is an Eastern Western thought war as much as White Black Soul or God Satan Spiritual one. The split will.likely shock a lot of people.
I know here in the States I have been completely unsuccessful in my personal circles convincing people that even just our government is on the dark side of the Force. Much less any other parts. They still buy the best country in the world tags!
The Boomers still think that this is the America they grew up with. As the generations progressed from there everyone took the superiority for granted and paid no attention to how things were degrading. People make jokes about the Made In China stickers on everything they purchase at Walmart, but never stopped to think about the implications of that…until Covid brought it home. Manufacturing was shut down everywhere. Stuff is either made in China or across the border in Mexico.
The military now is a joke but only some have begun to realize it. They tried to sell it as a video game with kills being made by drones in faraway places while being controlled from an air conditioned office somewhere. No one was ready for Ukraine. I keep seeing your points about the weapons in commentary. U.S. weapons techie but unreliable. Russian weapons rather unassuming but work everywhere. Except where did the Russians get those damn washing machine chips to build those supersonic missiles that keep turning off our lights.
I know. I was one of extremely few Boomers that resigned from the designation in name. Things were good when I was growing up but by the time I could drive prices were outpacing wages and pretty much kept on into the 80s. But even when that ended mostly, there were always problems of other kinds. My son and I had to fight degrading school systems starting in kindergarten. I never saw America as a perfect or even very good existence. By 2010 I was pretty much done. By 2013, my whole life was off its former economic rails.
But I could see we were in these end times then. Or close to it. But I basically hibernated until COVID. So my interest and of focus has only been for those four years. And took to this writing 15 months ago. That helps really - even digitally, it clarifies my thoughts and I retain them so much better.
Nothing of the conditions in the country today are unintentional. This has all been carefully created going back hundreds of years for this time frame, thousands overall. But certainly Truman is the architect of our latter events. He redrew the UN structure after Roosevelt died. Which is how we have no effective international law. Before that you can see the seeds in Woodrow Wilson with the Fed creation. Nixon - removal of the gold standard. Obama stealing anything he could reach. Clinton making a moral laughingstock of the country. GWB starting the most inhumane wars. If I was more conversant in earlier American history I'm sure it goes all the way back to 1788 (first election). But the future is the thing; we can only correct the past - not change it.
Thanks for that interesting recounting. I never appreciated how good I had it growing up. I grew up in a rural setting and couldn’t wait to leave. I did the college thing but after trying history and music I settled on English not really thinking about how that could make a house payment. I stumbled into writing contract pieces for Rolling Stone and a couple other mags and through that fell into doing a security gig after doing a couple interviews with AC/DC on their first tours of the U.S. That changed my life. It put me on a carousel that lasted for 25 years until I finally flew off. During that time I had knowledge of world events but no real understanding despite being in a lot of the countries in the world.
I had to do something else and decided on IT. Then I had to learn the stuff so I could. That happened quickly thankfully. I started becoming more politically savvy in the early 2000s. I bought into the Iraq debacle completely. I bought into the “vote Republican to save democracy “ bs. It was tough because I really didn’t like McCain or Romney. I thought Trump could make a difference despite being frustrated with him. I thought he lacked focus and could have done much more. He lost me with his Covid response. I was doing some pro bono tech work in Senior Centers when Covid hit. I was desperately trying to get the residents up to speed on some low level Zoom use to communicate with outside family. Because of regulations I had to stop before success was attained at a high level. I had to learn about several of my students deaths not being able to contact anyone. No one gave a crap. I got angry and I’m still angry. Biden took it further but Trump started it. When I wanted him to be the authoritarian dictator the left said he was, he turned everything over to Jared, Fauci and Birx. Screw both of these clowns now is my mantra. I guess we all have our crosses to bear and I’ll bear mine.
I do appreciate the efforts you put into this product. More people should see it.

Boomercon won’t let it go.

You're right,Daniel. Some things never change.
I did download that NO app just for fun and to check it out. YIKES. Everyone is in bed with Israel it appears.
Yes. Many have been for as long as there's been an Israel. The Brits in particular had the region all primed except Palestine for the Exodus. I believe the US was completely infiltrated with Zionists since before the turn of the 20th C. But they weren't as visible in that operation. Gaza happened before.on a much bigger score.

Yes I believe I saw a Paul Newman edition of that story. 😀

Once again you provide solid research. Thank you.
