Stop worrying and learn to love the bomb.

Maybe the bomb isn't the big deal that we are led to believe. That's why no one's using it.

Well there is that story the Japan was not bombed by atomics but by conventional firestorm bombing. Thesis is the bomb would not work if dropped. This of course is trivial in 2023. The bomb has been used in Iraq-Falluja- and Afghanistan-some cave complex the other heavy bombs used did not crack.

DEWs blamed on global warming allow easy denial.

However, the perps might enjoy everyone knowing that they have the power, instead of just a handful of Substacker saying that it was a satellite shooting out DEWs.

Is it enough satisfaction for the perps to just have mad conspiracy theorists know who dunnit.

I rather doubt those gangsters are concerned overly much about public opinion. We are in a "soft" totalitarian status and before 2024 Democrats and RINO's expect it will be full blown and no exit without civil war with the Federal Raj.

Lahaina is not so soft and the blatant aerial spraying is in the face.

"before 2024" Hey, that's about now!

Sooner than we like to think the mask falls from the face. Lahaina is absolutely a transition to totalitarianism. And each day we go deeper. Here I am going to excerpt Aimee Cesaire who observed the crime of the Nazi was treating white people like natives. I apologize for the lengthy quote but placed against our present change a few names and yet disguised smiles Hitler. Klaus Schwab is a good Hitler.

Yes, it would be worthwhile to study clinically, in detail, the steps

taken by Hitler and Hitlerism and to reveal to the very distinguished, very humanistic, very Christian bourgeois of the twentieth

century that without his being aware of it, he has a Hitler inside

him, that Hitler inhabits him, that Hitler is his de mon, that if he

rails against him, he is being inconsistent and that, at bottom, what

he cannot forgive Hitler for is not the crime in itself, the crime against man, it is not the humiliation of man as such, it is the crime against the white man, the humiliation of the white man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the "coolies" of India, and the "niggers" of America.

And that is the great thing I hold against pseudo-humanism:

that for too long it has diminished the rights of man, that its concept of those rights has been-and still is-narrow and fragmentary, incom plete and biased and, all things considered, sordidly racist.

I have talked a good deal about Hitler. Because he deserves it:

he makes it possible to see things on a large scale and to grasp the

fact that capitalist society, at its present stage, is incapable of

establishing a concept of the rights of all men, just as it has proved

incapable of establishing a system of individual ethics. Whether one likes it or not, at the end of the blind alley that is Europe, I mean the Europe of Adenauer, Schuman, Bidault, and a few others, there is Hitler. At the end of capitalism, which is eager to outlive its day,

there is Hitler. At the end of formal humanism and philosophic

renunciation, there is Hitler.

And this being so, I cannot help thinking of one of his state

ments: "We aspire not to equality but to domination. The country

of a foreign race must become once again a country of serfs, of

agricultural laborers, or industrial workers. It is not a question of

eliminating the inequalities among men but of widening them and

making them into a law."

That rings clear, haughty, and brutal, and plants us squarely in

the middle of howling savagery. But let us come down a step.

Who is speaking? I am ashamed to say it: it is the Western

humanist, the "idealist" philosopher. That his name is Renan is an

accident. That the passage is taken from a book entitled La Riforme

intellectuelle et morale, that it was written in France just after a war

which France had represented as a war of right against might, tells

us a great deal about bourgeois morals.

Escalation ladder will not reach battlefield atomics until the Russians are ready to win. And one cannot be sure if they want to. In fact, I think sometimes that despite the talk talk talk of the territorial integrity of Russia in Century 21 every dog for themself and if plutocrats decide Russia is ungovernable with the amount of graft they generate and they make more by breaking the state apart-it shall be done. I also think WEF has no desire for large nation states well armed with governments that function. So Ukraine is ideal for making this so.

That presumes Russia is governed by Russians, rather than Communists. However, if it is Communists, this is just one more step in the chess game, a game that has as its only objective the United States of America.

No I think a much larger game of total world domination. Communists or Russians in a way the only issue is does the Kremlin have the ability to go eyeball to eyeball with atomics without first strike. Say Bidumb lets Ukraine use a tac nuke near Moscow.

Sleepy Joe would only give Ukraine that capability with China's (and Russia's) blessing.

I would like to think so. I do not. There are loose nuclear weapons and some of those are Russian though old. Then who knows what the far right hand of Discord will do? I do think in a way that this escalation will not arise until the West is totally trapped by it's "Guided" policy in defeat.

Who's stopping them.

I'm not noticing restraint in other areas.

Russia has oligarchs with roots in Ukraine. Russia is fighting a tactical war of attrition and I think to split up the Ukraine by letting Hungary and Poland and maybe Romania to chew off some turf and Russia keeps the Donbass and creates a rump Ukraine. They do wage war, but not like West. Many commentators think Russia made a tremendous error by not doing the blitzkrieg in the first month of the war. Even now many major targets remain intact.
