In the first article about Abrams tanks, someone mentioned they can go 500 km or miles… forgot. But later someone mentioned miles: 300 of them. One can easily envision an afternoon excursion almost 100 miles deep into Russian territory and spend an hour (another 100m fuel) shooting up… a military stagion depot, any airport w/ a military target. Smoehow – almost regrettably – the Ukraine military refrain from the same uncivilized carnage the Russian inflict on civilians. The Russians will not be constrained until they feel the loss, when a sizable segement of the population is killed. This will, of course, be the 500,000 currently (Feb,23) being recruited or trained.

We would be most disapointed if currently there are not Ukraine pilots training on F-16s. Why F16s ???? In the big picture they are the equivalent of the Leopard2 tank: made in numbers by an ally & sold widely to many other countries & in reasonable quantities to support maintenance programs. The latter being friendy enough to Western interests & democratic ideals to qualify to buy them. Some of them will band together and form an alliance of sorts and insist that the US also take part, just like Germany reserved last OK for the tanks.

NOTE: In the tank deal, the US threw in something “new”. That is, with this behemoths burning aviation fuel in a damn jet engine to get enough power to take them to a dragstrip, this represents a sort of “icing on the cake”. Now in reference to F16s, a small addition of some A10s would be superb in the coming narrative. The US has developed more advanced models recently & more than few of the “older” models would be a good addition.

The Ukrainians don’t even have to go to Russia, a forbidding landscape for vast swaths, to kill attacking Russians. The Russians are making themselves available, literally for slaughter, locally – all 500K of them!!

OUR …. VISION

To end this war we refer to Peter Zeihan, who says Russians have only accepted defeat when a vast, ie V A S T, number of casualties were inflicted on them. Let it be! The Russians/Putin have started a war & put us all in commercial difficulty, but a clear understanding among the modern world – with devastating problems so much more important than a war-criminal, gangster, neurotic 19th century dictator – that if that – mass death – is necessary for this tragic, senseless war to end, so be it!

Putin .. hubris … a tragic figure on the world stage: Putin has amassed a financial fortune, so much as to be a fanatic king of all the oligarchs. But Putin is a ganster, a severe lack of morality seems to run with dictators. He saw himself among the world’s most powerful leaders, a kingmaker. Gangsters self-justify their immoral life by believing that everyone else is a gangster. Anyway, something has occurred to us…

Referring to and justa-phrasing Peter Zeihan, who states that both Putin & Xi have very much isolated themselves. We would say more crudely pretty much like mob bosses can’t trust anybody.

Well, does this mean that the communication between these two is the mainstay of the daily entertainment schedules of these two dictators? More on that later…

Well the tanks are rolling – and it feels good! The follow-up scenario will mimic the tank saga, but will be for F16s and different countries in the roles. Now the US instead of Germany; as the mass producer of F16s; will face a host of assorted countries, NATO & otherwise who will be willing to give their planes to Ukraine. Again to build a coalition, the US will though more willinglingly take part.

Abrams tanks should build additional Ukainian jet fuel infrastructure which will come in handy when F16s arrive.

But before we get lulled into this feel-good moment because we know that the West will supply whatever it takes to win this war, let us reflect if there is something missing in the bigger picture. To wit: Putin knows the war is getting difficult. Escalating to nukes doesn’t bring anything except total calamity. But a million Americans died of Covid. Why not Putin get a batch of better stuff from the Chinese & send people out to spread it in the USA. The mass Russian propaganda apparatus can spread even more disinformation & weird conspiracy theories.

If Putin is capable of sending people out to poison different people all over the world, why not a step further & poison enough that it causes social upheaval. Such would be truly Asymetrical warfare!

We’re really feeling foolish about ravings for Mr Musk…. most likely talented engineer, but just another MAGA guy sprouting endless population growth, busines growth…

Pertaing the Twitter saga we are reminded of the original Peter’s Principle: people get promoted to their level of incompentence. Of the many successful Musk enterprises, they seem to encompass the technical, the objective manipulation of data & tools. In essence: making stuff. Even PayPal is an IT project handling clear defined transactions. With Twitter you’re dealing with people – a LOT of people. Besides the programming, now you have involved interfacing with a LOT of users.

Was going to quit, but … what the heck! Starting a series about Ukraine War, seems to be all-encompasing living here in Europe.

The following chart should show Covid in recurring, but declining waves. We are – internationally – in decline, but another, smaller wave is most probably likely – if nothing worse happens. “Small wave” internationally probably means giant waves in a few locales. By the time of the midterms, one million Americans will have died from Covid! Imagine saying to a firefighter person that has just put out a fire in your house “That’s Ok, I didn’t need you, it would eventually have gone out all by itself.

The sheer amount of intellectual discord in a supposedly modern nation is a sure sign education systems are lacking. Now Republican states unashamedly adopt Nazi regimes in book burning banning. But continued Covid care is costing some states dearly. Will “Covid MONEY” come into the political discussion. (We keep saying “discussion”, when you see/hear the lunacy of Fox-type outlets confusing so many people, just for the Murdochs & others to gain money, political power over actual corpses, maybe its time to communicate a bit more frankly, call a spade a spade, a nazi a nazi. America is facing external threats & part of the strategy of these adversaries is supporting tacitly, financially exactly these movements e.g. Qanon, in the domestic American population to stir dividedness, disseminate hyped or total false information to scare & make people uncertain. Call everything into question! Probably find that in Trotsky’s notes somewhere….

Solid political stance relevant to Covid seems difficult to cultivate from this current fixed divide. I privately wonder if the main news outlets will look at Covid deaths in the runup to election and analyse if it made any difference in the results. Simply how many Republicans, Democrats, etc. died & was it large enough a number to influence an election. Want to tread carefully here, but… you reap what you sow!

In succinct, but brutal words: the 1% now owns everything.. literally! And the FED for 40 years has been the official enabler. Most people think of the word rent, in terms of the pad, house, apt… domicile facet. In financial terms it encompasses all income from ownership of rented assets (ie. everything). That’s why billionaires have become so media aware. In times past, wealthy people simply stayed to themselves. They make good press now, even tout their do-good causes, but the real dirty work is done by other funds, institutes… extraneous organizations. Blackrock now is bringing homelessness to Europe, the way they have mastered it in the stateside. There’s even a fixed coefficient in their formulas, though it differs region to region. This matrix coefficient, empirically based, relates homelessness, media coverage thereof, rent optimization, base prices.

For 40 years, the FED has steadily & relentlessly widened inequality to the point of national concern. Probably brushed off as circumstantial, or however you say collateral damage financially, in their hallowed halls, it is starting to enter the national discussion. We are convinced the pending attention paid to next federal budget authorization; budding finance hysteria; even all other news, will eventually devolve toward the current status of gigantic financial misalignments. Will people quietly accept their serf status in a medieval world?

Let’s get real for a minute: if enough of the querdenkers vote into local state office enough of loonies like Marjorie Green in any 1 state, even a single state with a Republican Governor, expect that state to secede! We discuss this later, here just want to make the point that this social calamity is something in the making of years and years by the FED – totally open.

In political terms, Pres. Biden re-appointing latest Greenspan-Resurrect is a sign of weakness, a prayer to the status quo. Any big change coming from this FED, instead of a new face, would only be seen as panic, not decisiveness. That is sad, their effectiveness has been neutered by their past lethargy. Of course, there are academic scenarios where just a few points move by the FED would bring down the whole house of …. debt. “No good choices” as described in John Mauldin articles.

ADDENDUM Jr.

Today RUSSIA, under Putin the CZAR, has INVADED the closest non-Soviet, democratic and next-door neighbor country Ukraine!!

The FED, regardless of any opprobrium deserved, now has no choices! Some jawboning may even pick up, but supply chains are going to be massively adjusted. Rates will have to remain low! Money will need to keep flowing! We’re on pump – all of us: EU, US, ASIA, … but now this war is going to quickly spill over to commerce. Militarily nukes are out (hopefully!!!), but in the economic theatre, total warfare is called for, actually be unavaidable. If for no other reason is that they have already started, in bad faith, long ago. The constant cyber-attacks coming from Russia against any & all targets: corporations, water works, electric networks has clearly shown their active hostility.

Dictatorships, left or right style doesn’t matter, all of them cannot stand comparisons. You have to block out (eg. North Korea) or destroy anyplace that shows a richer, happier population. Yeah, that sounds “korny”, but this war is going to test many loyalties, even convictions about democracy.

Can you believe that an insane (& dumb!=) ex_President and a major network feeds (FOX NEWS et al) are cheering Putin on??? How effective has Russian propaganda been in America?

Europe needs to get off Russian gas! Gas is going up as we speak. How cold are Europeans willing to live to help establish a new eco-political order? If not, Czar Putin will put stronger touch on Latvia, Estonia & Lithuania even though they are in NATO. That is going to cost everybody massively but the balance sheets are not as healthy as when Pres. Reagan outspent & ultimately led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

The only way to topple Czar Putin is by his own people, at least a couple of the rich, powerful who wanted to travel the world. If Russia is nothing but a giant gangster gas station, it’s time to turn off the tap. That will cost & the FED must pray that the status quo holds for awhile longer.

The Importance & Impact of the 2022 Mid-Term Elections.

In more normal times mid-term elections see fewer voters as national elections & often the party in power nationally sees a reverse of fortunes in the Congress. So much for normal times. Let’s get right down to why this is not anything like normal times & will not be for quite some time! We had intended a more normal rah-rah for how important this particular mid-term election will be. But other cataclysms seem to be on the horizon that completely upgrade the urgency.

In no particular order:

• Climate Change is an established topic can be relegated back to academia & research centers for further study. Back here on earth, the term now becomes weather has changed! It will take monstrous public works projects to mitigate – at best – flood & storm damage occurring w/ much higher frequencies anticipated.

As of this writing, a massive storm has swept over England & northern Europe, causing a lot of storm damage. This is after the US experiencing literally a stream of very similar structured storms, with each wave causing serious infrastructure damage in one area after the other. Who is going to campaign for cutting fire fighters and other state-funded emergency personnel with only bigger & bigger storms more & more certain? Answer: The same minority hoard that never recognized Covid as an emergency! So weather disasters in a political campaign are not going to convert any of the many flavors of querdenkers out there. “Querdenker” is a new German word & means quer => across; denker => thinker. Pretty much someone who stands in the way of things, thinks against prevailing ideas; even lining trucks across the road to block, keep it from being used. In Germany it’s the people who demonstrate against …. (waiting for a noun? No, no noun necessary. These certain groups resemble a little child that simply throws a temper tantrum; says no to everything … on “principle”; and perseveres as far as they can take it. What can happen?!?! It’s a high for them. Of course, being childlike, they are not aware (or worse!=[)  of any possible grave consequences.)  Point is, however, that MONEY will be a campaign issue. Weather Changed = MONEY

WAR! Just listened to Putin & – I swear – he sounded just like Hitler talking about German speakers in neighboring countries in 1938 & his “worry about them.”… exact same verbage. Our personal opinion about the man goes back to these pics of him riding bareback & bare. Could it be that these enhancing weightlifter drugs are causing him to think of himself as resurrected Peter the Great (or maybe more like Ivan the Terrible), bringing Russia to Europe. In his big speech, he listed off the many countries the Soviet Union “lost”. Donald Trump, a simply despicable person in our opinion, his mentor** Putin is now on a MAKE RUSSIA GREAT AGAIN! Campaign.

**Yes,yes, he fell in love with Rocket Man & still keeps his letters, but Putin is the one who gave him a football!

• WAR!!! Xi has China in a nationalistic mood, what will be necessary to take Formosa. In the countless U-tube channels about Chinese economy, has it occurred to anyone that an easy unifying action/distraction is a war? Maybe some old faction in the Chinese commie world thinks it’s time to remind the populace who is in charge? Especially now, because the real estate debacle is making local governments look corrupt, weak, underfinanced… susceptible?! And what would be better than a nationalistic unifying endeavor, a simple non-nuclear clash? Then everything else falls back in importance; Evergreen? Has to wait…poisoned water, air? Later….
• Inflation! Simple as that! Inflation is kryptonite to this Super-Bubble. What the FED has done now for 4 consecutive chiefs (actually “chefs” of easy money salads, just green everywhere, for years & years, same stupid salad, never changing….  in the end looks almost criminal. Whether corrupt or not arguments will probably arise. The longer inflation runs, the more the damage. But it will recede occasionally as things really slow down. But it will be like a rattler drawing back his head, just building for more forward momentum, probably for the next supply chain surprise.

Inflation in US/EU is there! Exact numbers, ranging though probably 5-10%, are not as important as trend. When will a clear, irrefutable trend be established? Answer: Exactly in the run-up to 2022 mid-term elections! Meantime, the Fed runs this game of MANY rate hikes (sounds just sooo hawkisch), but each is a puny  ¼ of 1% and they are starting …. LOW! More important – to the FED – is that there will be PAUSES (as in MONTHS…. EACH!!! ) between these …..hmmm**… moves that will placate politicians that the markets are served.

**’momentous’ wanted to say in sarcastic way. But if the FED/politicians don’t get this right, manage to steer some kind of way through the brewing The Great Reset ocean storm, then there won’t be any FED anymore to worry about anyway. These actions – as they stand now – will be well remembered as a momentously monumental fiasco!! But the FED people will still get their milli$on $peaking engagements…or will they?

Ok, back to the topic at hand:

2022 Notes

We made the case that Mr. Musk would be more than a valid contender; however, we realize the man has bigger projects in mind – really! And in recognition of the growing power of corporations (corporations that know they need to be international players to be viable), eventually political power will come to him without him having to chase any elected post. This is not to say that Mr. Musk will at some point be forced into a more active political role. The German government must be driving the man mad w/ never ending pettiness from a visionless bureaucracy. In the US, Pres. Biden sets himself up beside the old hallmark GM as the “EV Leader of the World” even as slowly people discover the hidden deal GM made with China. In short, GM completely sold out (probably didn’t have a real choice on their way to bankruptcy), gave away all leading tech they may have had and now a large majority of EVs come from China, then Mexico. A Chinese Cadillac anyone? Pres. Biden has made an absolute fool of himself parading around with the GM CEO  but he can’t help it: he is simply a product of classical American politics going back ages. Which brings us to a crucial question for Democrats: will they save GM again w/vast taxpayer money??? This time it will not work, instead it will absolutely backfire. Should this administration even try to save GM, there would be national coverage of GM’s EVs made in China, made in Mexico, the details of deal made w/China! (We  cover the impending chaos that will bring this question into the public discussion in “2022 or NEVER”)

Soon we will have to more seriously discuss traffic & scrap in space – on an international level. Will Pres. Biden again ignore Mr. Musk completely & maybe just invite Amazon Bozo to stand next to & proclaim as the “world leader” …for whatever??

We leave this topic with Democrats in a precarious position, unable to unite; the Republicans busy experimenting with the Nazi Handbook for National Power ; and the idea an independent faction having possibilities in 2024 – especially with a star-powered, non-political candidate. (see “2022 or NEVER”)

Since everybody is talking about alarmist theories today, we want to do our part & offer ours. Enjoy!

Never thought I would be an alarmist…really!?! So, let me start slow (like talking to someone from ______[ur fav joke pers.=]

War is about “beating” the enemy – let’s leave that general definition momentarily. Maybe a couple million years ago… naw, maybe, anyway – TODAY – there ought be something positive comes out of it, for the winner anyway. OK, we’re tempted a lot, a really lot, of preponderance, BUT the 1^st prize to wage war today is land, space… livable space. What a simpleton, you say to yourself- I see that myself in the news daily from Palestinians losing it, Kurden are losing it, Etheopien minority tribes are losing everything….

But the biggies, the ones with the nukes…naw. Why in living wonder would Russians want to invade en masse… not happening…. Our best estimate is that Russia simple has to pull other nations down a la true soviets (And keep Putin’s ass out of prison… as long as everywhere alse is bad, you get awa with anything)

Which brings me to a sidestory and then visit at end this Russian war again:

Why this  COVID? I mean here you have Covid “leaks” out of Chinese Lab for (among whatever else????) … ta da   … Covid. Now here the story branches a bit, deeper versions, but all end same punchline. The deeper, go right into it, simply says China has already started its war on Formosa. If Russia can grab Crimea, Chinese commies are sure as hell going to get Formosa. But, here’s the catch: how to “tame” such a large population and also very important, leave the infrastructure for future growth. Solution for a long time was this big bomb that spread gamma or whatever wavelength it was that cooked people’s brains, and in the end was unfunded ‘cause you still ended up blowing everything up anyway. (Gonna write this as if I ever seen this shit). So what about… Covid ???

First! You have to infect the rest of the world – with their mild versions… don’t want to be obvious you’re the one causing this. When Covid is part of our daily lives (another blog about future life with Covi forthcoming), and different “waves” worldwide, you bring in 200 agents to spread the really good stuff around Formosa, you seal the border, you wait. The resulting international tragedy will force the Chinese commies to come in and help. Just like the Israeli government goes into West Bank to help. I mean face it: West Bank is lost; tribal lands all over Africa are in dispute – on top of terrorism; all the victims of the recent spate of weather disasters – on every continent! All the fires are horrendous, so it is more disturbing to see groupings of Mediterranean fires. Some areas brought more money ie. N, but all of them provided for a lot of people. So many, we’re talking about whole villages, even regions were impacted.

Back to Covid: The Cc is smug, they already have the “good stuff” developed, not the cheap stuff they peddle worldwide. Probably call it Covid235 to play homage to the atomic stuff. The really deep version says they have this all by plan as it is. That is, they would have regions infected. We’d like to give them credit for wanting to test it on themselves first, but….. naw, they just needed the whole population doing innoculation drills. When the time comes, Cc will spread the “good stuff” from the military to the general population…but it should be in a disciplined and practiced drill. The country is so corrupt, bet all the party people got theirs long ago.

The Cc want to show big show – make leader look good => quick-> Formosa W/many maschines. OK, that’s the deep version, Cc is in full swing, just waiting for the right moment to lay the big egg on the island.

More down-to-earth is just a reasonable assumption that is, actually is the eventual plan, but while still in preparations some Covid (the light stuff, not in a real DANGER zone and therefore more relaxed part of the lab) hung onto a labcoat of someone working long hours and who had to rush to get to the big market for something before they close. Nothing more than that, but the Cc can never-ever admit it. Now all their planning & preparations were for nothing as we now have a good start on vaccinations.

Or is it that everything is going according to plan this very moment?

Oh yeah: the war with Russia. Putin has really hit a jackpot with this egocentric, uneducated “orange useful idiot”, to fully put himself on the world stage, almost a  guarantee for job security at home. EX-Dictators, in today’s world, are not as well treated as in past decades. They always end up the same: stealing soooo much, that soooomebody got mad enough to want to do the job better. The Cc has learned from Russia, when Putin was the first to cut some heads off of the super rich if they got uppity & to reign in the rest. King of the Hill reigning at home is easier when you’re standing on a/n (international) mountain!

When the FSB “listed” names of American business people in Russia, to see who had any weaknessses generally. A buffoon like Trump at an international beauty contest got red flags and even stars next to his name.

Putin does not want to invade, nuke or anything violent actually. Remember, if a city – any city! – were to lose only one of many centralized systems it would already cause riots! We’d like to say “turmoil”, but let’s face it, after Jan. 6, it should be obvious that black & white Americans are united! They’re BOTH pissed off! It has been supreme KGB work by the Fucking Sinister Bastards to do so much to undermine trust in the government, Constitution & leadership of the United States of America. As we speak, IT types go to work every day – on BOTH sides to see how to do damage on the other side. OK, except they are already using it. Maybe a few guys went private from this official work (couple examples of same such for Secret Service & other fed agencies, no finger pointing) to become more profitable; to extract vast sums of money from American companies; or even to endanger whole populated regions with intrusion tactics on power networks, water work operations, and now: financial systems seem hot.

If national resources were applied to the digital tricks a few gangsters exploited to attack a complete countrywide network, wether water, electricity, comm, financial it would truly be devastating. And also by now all code, directions & descriptions are also in the hands of the …FSB (Gotta be careful, maybe someone will give me PLUTONIUM RED Wine someday!=/

Anyway, Putin has job security as long as he can show pictures of America on the bad side! Helps to instigate the set – make the picture more dramatic …. yeah, throw in a little staging. Simple as that!

After a review of the comments to date, we are convinced of the simple truth that no one reads this blog! Yes, there is a single digit group… hopefully, maybe they’ll come back….

The most – by far – comments were spam machines that found us & were promoting porn, drugs… that kind of stuff…. Another interesting group came from Russia. Seeing comments in Cyrillig, with their length & obvious preparedness, suggested we collect, group the IP addresses. No doubt most of these were generated by the KGB (or whatever Putin calls his Fucking Sinister Bastards!=)**

But the last group I want to talk about caused me to reflect on a class in my graduate course close to 50 years ago. Info Science (aka computer stuff), Georgia Tech and I’m sitting in a semantic class. If it really was called that, can’t remember, but we talked about various aspects of language, including how to program it. We just want to say that if you construct an AI system to learn like a human, it will make the similar grammatical faux pas  as beginning adult English students.

Maybe scrap all comments & start over….hmmm, yeah. ..
