I ENJOYED THIS

They are rarely seen in this Age, but once were numerous. Found at Assistant Village Idiot.

WHAT IS THE WORD?

The collective western powers are laying in sanctions on Russia. From here in middle-America the word for what they are doing is, ECONOMIC WARFARE. As we did against Japan in the 1930s, we are dabbling right now in open warfare against a major power and 99% of the people in America and Europe don't realize it.

in other reports this morning, Russia placed its nuclear forces on alert. Those familiar with Sir John Hackett's book, The Third World War might say a little prayer for the good people of Birmingham and Minsk. It didn't end well for them.

THEY HAVE BEEN PRACTICING

All Biden needs to do to hurt the Russians is do to their economy what he and his idiot advisors did to our economy.

IS THERE NO END TO THIS IDIOCY?

I have a bit of text from here. But first, a map or two.

There was no Ukraine before they signed up with the other communists to be good communists under the rule of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. You can see it was not there after Metternich and the Concert of Europe, nor before The Great War and only existed as a remote and disposable province of the USSR in 1941. It is now the casus belli of the idiots in the West who really are too stupid for words. Here is where they really jumped the track.

My objection goes to the part where the author mentions that US airborne forces are poised in Germany, Romania and Poland. Just out of curiousity,

1. Has anyone discussed with the boobs in the White House just how long parachute dropping aircraft survive in contested airspace when both belligerents have the most modern anti-air weapons on the planet?

2. Has anyone discussed with the nincompoops running the State Department if any of the named countries are willing to be a party to staging U.S. forces for a counterinvasion of Ukraine should it come to a shooting war with the Russian Federation? Those familiar with history have to look no further than our first big war in Iraq when our NATO ally and partner Turkey stabbed us in the back and refused to give permission for the 4th Infantry Division to transit Turkish soil forcing them to go around to the Persian Gulf if they meant to take part in the invasion and sort of putting a wobble in the devestating pincer attack that Schwarzkopf was going to destroy the Iraqi army with. And, let us not forget our ever faithful ally France which joined NATO allies in Spain and Portugal and refused permission for the USAF F-111s staging out of bases in England to overfly their sovereign territory when we retaliated against Qadafi and Libya for the PanAm bombing.

I really don't think Poland and Romania will give permission for attacks out of their sovereign countries and I know Germany won't. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about and can't help but wonder if we're watching morons slide us all into a war they created because they cannot think of a non-embarrassing way of saying, "oops, sorry about that."

Look again at the maps and see how many countries that once existed less than a hundred years ago no longer exist and the plethora of 'new' countries that sprang into existence when nobody in the White House was looking or cared.

#ME TOO!

It is to laugh.

WATCHING

We really enjoyed Reacher on Amazon Prime and Gunpowder Milkshake on Netflix.

I looked up the old Watchers Council just to see if the Glittering Eye was still a thing. I think it is defunct and a number of the blogs that made up the Council are long gone. They survived many years in the early days of the blogosphere.

CANADIAN PM VOWS TO KILL ALL UPPITY WORKERS

I'm enjoying the fooforaw up north. It's about time they regained their God/English given sense of humor and fought back. I'm still waiting for it to happen here. If you asked me five years ago if I thought Australia and New Zealand would tumble into fascist dictatorships and lock all their people up for years I would have laughed in your face. And now look at those pathetic drones who serve at their master's pleasure.

Tucker is always good but he can raise the old blood pressure.

TWO TINY LITTLE THINGS

To end the "crisis" over Ukraine and Russia all Biden has to do is declare that NATO will not expand to encompass Ukraine which is no more than what we solemnly agreed to with the dying Soviet Union when they permitted the two Germanies to reunite again at the end of the Cold War. Simple. Easy. Forthright. Shows integrity.

All Canada has to do to end the trucker strike is strike down the ridiculous, stupid and counterproductive vaccine mandate and the truckers will all go back to work. That's it. Nothing hyper complex. No endless wrangling over wages and benefits. Just get the damned government tyrants back in the box and go back to work. Simple. Easy. Forthwright. Scientifically valid.

12,000 hours of news coverage from the usual suspects plus PBS, NPR, Deutche Welle, France TV news, Japan news and not one peeop anywhere about bringing these things to a screeching halt by just behaving like rational human beings. On the gripping hand I really hated reading Econ texts which always started out with the line, "we assume all states to be rational actors." You could fool me.

TARGET, FIRE FOR EFFECT

GoFraudMe has been caught lying to its benefactors for the zillionth time but this time they didn't just throw themselves on a grendade of their own making, they shoved it so far up their own ass their elbow got stuck. The notorious company of thieves and liars was the site of a gofundme supporting the Canadian truck drivers and their battle against the utterly stupid and scientific fraud ruining lives and businesses under the name, "mandates". The fraudsters running gofundme decided to simply steal $10 million and use it for their own purposes sure and certain that they, as technocrats of the left coast would, as usual and just like the rest, enjoy complete immunity for fraud, deceit and theft of goods and services. It is after all what the west coast does every single day. They reckoned without even considering the millions of enemies they created by behaving exactly the same in previous thefts on their website initiated by them. They were wrong.

I watched it happen in real time yesterday and again today. I knew what they tried to do and then must have heard from their corporate lawyers who, even if located in Washington DC could have been heard screaming "NO!!!!!! NO DAMMIT!!!!! NO YOU IDIOTS!!!!!" all the way out in Redwood City, California which is a city just south of the famous metropolis now called the 'Open Sewer by the Bay' and wouldn't Herb Caen roll over in his grave if we referred to his city that way but he'd agree if he was familiar with the last 30 years of San Francisco's collapse as a city once favorably compared to Baghdad by the Bay back before we destroyed the better parts of Badhdad and occupied it for 20 years. The little town of Redwood City is well known to me and my car still wears the little license plate frame from the Redwood City VW dealership.

This is what a search of our nemisis, google turned up in my first search to see what was happening today with the story of out and out theft.

That is a fail right there and a very pathetic one at that. Google is dead to me after this.

This is from the ducks.

and the next page down for more context.

I have to admit that I'm kind of glad I moved out of California. They along with their counterparts on the east coast are completely ignorant of what hatred is even though they never hesitate to accuse conservatives, christians, whites and republicans of hate crimes every time their lips move. I'm OK with that now. What they don't realize is that we mostly simply dislike them and while we wouldn't kill them, neither would we cross the street to piss on them if they were on fire. That's us. The people who really hate them because they 'speak for America' are a different story. They're the ones that hijacked four airliners with a well thought out plan to fly them into major American landmarks. They got the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Kind of wonder where we'd be today if they had managed to destroy the Capitol or White House. They hate the voice and the image of America and that voice and image they know so well is generated in Washington, DC, New York, New York, San Francisco and Las Angeles.

The Chinese have shown how very easy it is to tailor an ordinary everyday harmless virus into a killer and let it loose and the people that could do that once won't hesitate to do it again and again and again because there were no consequences. By the same token our other enemies have also shown and demonstrated how very easy it is to make nerve gas and release it on the subways in Japan. Airplanes, trains, virus they're all everyday threats now but they're not targeted on me and mine anymore.

I'm really looking forward to the news in coming weeks about the fraudsters at gofundme. They also made some real enemies out of governors and states attornies general. They seem to believe, as does Newsweek, that have declared their intent to steal and then walking it back elminates the legal case against them. Nope.

THE PRIMARY DIFFERENCE

The primary difference between liberals/progressives/socialists and people who are not woke is simply that the not woke don't watch or believe anything spewed by the mainstream media. We get our facts and our information from the primary sources that tend to show the underlying reality that the mainstream media no longer broadcasts or tolerates.

The Canadian truckers is a case in point.

IT'S A MONSTER

I read Larry Correia every now and then here. He usually posts in face book and I don't pay any attention to that. When he gets banned there he drops a few words of wisdom on his old blogsite. This was pretty much in the x-ring.

It helps to know who the enemy is. They have been manifesting themselves quite brilliantly ever since the election and the virus counter-response. They really are singularly inept. You should read it all.
