** 16-Dec-2021 World View: Giving back



Thanks for the compliment.

Setting up an account is free and takes 15 seconds. Why don't you
give back, by registering and becoming a member.

I have bought copies of your last three books. I didn't buy the Coming Storms simply because I would have to leave a trail. I have a friend who told me about this site and buys yours books and I have him buy extra copies for me. But I decided years ago to not register on this site. I knew that one day America would have a dangerous government like Biden's. I use DickDuckGo to post here and them burn the IT trail behind me. One day, people on the website will be rounded up. No thanks. I am heading for the hills with my guns, ammo, and determination. I never post from my laptop either. America stop being free completely in 2021.

Based on my recent experience, I don't believe you need to have any concerns about registering on this site. I was called in for an in-person interview with the Department of Homeland Security recently for a routine matter. When I went into the interviewer's office she had a file on me sitting on her desk. She told me that she had just run a background check and reviewed the file before calling me in. The conversation was friendly and there were no issues raised. It had been in the back of my mind that I might have been flagged as a problem because of the amount of time I've spent on this web site but that apparently was not the case.

I recommend DuckDuckGo because of the incredible, off the charts, level of censorship going on at Google. I started using DDG after someone posted about on this website. It was a revelation. I had heard of "shadow banning", but what Google is doing i scrubbing the Internet. But DDG using Bing. There is another search engine called Brave which is even better.

America is not free anymore. Big Tech already controls us. I pray to God that some hacker group will totally destroy Google one night soon. I no longer trust anything online. I guess that's part of the Left's strategy: get people to stop trusting any news sources.

So, America is going to fight China for "freedom and democracy"? Yeah, right. Sure. Okay.

Free speech is already dead in the UK.

Last night I was watching an England based person on a (non-YT) social media platform discussing immigration and every few minutes he would decline answering the questions of a foreign guest because he didn't want to be arrested for "hate speech". He was asked questions like, "Why doesn't the British government just kick out illegal migrants?' He was afraid answer because the answer could be considered "racial".

Google has purged just about every conservative voice that they can off of You Tube, now the police are hunting down people. Freedom is over.

** 20-Dec-2021 World View: Manchin's announcemeent

> What is the real story on what the media is calling Manchin's
> blow?

Other than the timing or venue, Manchin's announcement was no
surprise. In July he wrote a letter stating the conditions under
which he'd vote for the "build back better" bill, and those conditions
have most emphatically not been met. So Manchin finally made his
announcement just before Christmas, probably much to the relief of a
lot of Democrats who are glad that he's taking the heat and they won't
have to.

However, that isn't stopping Biden and the other left-wing nutjob
Democrats from launching vicious attacks on Manchin, calling him
everything from a liar to a coward to a traitor.

Something that nobody is talking about but which I find really
interesting is the venue -- Manchin chose a major Fox News interview
to make the announcement. That selection can only REALLY PISS OFF
Biden and the state media, including the NY Times, CNN and MSNBC, and
also gives a big boost to Fox News's credibility. Manchin must be
aware of this, so he may be sucking up to Fox News in preparation for
next year's battles.

Our cold war with China has never been about freedom and democracy. It has always been about maintaining America's status as the sole global hegemon.

In other words, even if China were a democratic country our government would still be manufacturing an excuse for a cold war.

I don't think so. China couldn't behave the way it does in a democracy that had to answer ti its voters. The squandering of public funds on the BRI, for example. Also the arrests and public persecution of celebrities would unpopular. Cancelling cute boy bands and actors from the media has not been popular either.

** 20-Dec-2021 World View: The Sound of Music

• Mary Martin, Theodore Bikel and cast of 1959 play, Sound of Music

On Sunday evening, I watched the the 1965 movie The Sound of Music in
four hours, including commercials. The movie was an adaptation of
Rodgers and Hammerstein's play on Broadway in 1959.

Over the years, I've watched both the play and the movie several
times, and I'm always amazed by how good they are.

However, as I was watching it on Sunday evening, I was reminded
(again) of an enormous plot change that was made in going from the
play to the movie.

The play takes place in Salzburg Austria in 1938, as the Nazi
Anschluss (annexation) was occurring. There is a love triangle in the
play. Widowed Captain Georg von Trapp is engaged to a wealthy Vienna
Baroness Elsa Schräder, and he arranges for a girl, Maria, from the
local Salzburg convent to serve as governess to his seven children.

In both the play and the movie, von Trapp breaks up with Schräder and
marries Maria. But what's interesting is that there are two
completely different reasons given for the breakup.

In the 1965 movie, von Trapp throws a big party for Schräder, but
during the party he and Maria share a very hot Austrian folk dance,
The Ländler. After a few bumps in the road, von Trapp tells Schräder
that he can't marry her because he's in love with Maria.

In the 1959 play, the breakup is quite different. Schräder and their
mutual friend Max Detweiler gang up on von Trapp and tell him that he
must learn to compromise with the Nazis. They sing the song "There's
No Way to Stop It," and this song is missing from the movie. Von
Trapp refuses to compromise, and the resulting bitter, angry
disagreement is the reason the Schräder and von Trapp break up in the
play.

This was a highly significant plot change from the play to the movie,
and I've always thought that it was curious and interesting. Rodgers
and Hammerstein had previously written the play South Pacific, about
World War II, and Rodgers had also written the music for a TV series,
Victory At Sea, documenting the war in the Pacific. So it was natural
for their 1959 play to reflect the bitter pro- and anti-Nazi
disagreements in 1938 Austria, and those disagreements are similar to
those we're seeing today.

But by 1965, America was in a generational Awakening era, fighting the
Vietnam war, and WW II was a distant memory, so the Nazi plot line was
softened in the 1965 movie.

However, there's still one more twist to this story. In 2013, the NBC
network presented "The Sound of Music Live!" which was a live tv
adaptation of the original play. By 2013, America was once again in a
generational Crisis era, and so the original Nazi plot line was in the
adaptation, as was the song, "There's No Way To Stop it."

In other words, even if China were a democratic country our government would still be manufacturing an excuse for a cold war.

If we were so "anti-competition" and fixated on "global domination" we would never have enabled opening up China to commerce and industry. Instead we would have worked hard to keep them technologically and industrially backwards.

(The Chinese military of the 1970/80s was so backwards that their tanks, copies of the Russian T-55, didn't have a power drive for their turrets. They had to be hand cranked)

The competition with China is currently a direct response to their ridiculous fixation on Taiwan and acquiring territory to which they have advanced extremely questionable claims.

Yes, good stuff Navi.

This was PNAC's speculation in a report published in September 2000.

Although it may take several decades for the process of transformation to unfold, in time, the art of warfare on air, land, and sea will be vastly different than it is today, and “combat” likely will take place in new dimensions: in space, “cyber-space,” and perhaps the world of microbes. Air warfare may no longer be fought by pilots manning tactical fighter aircraft sweeping the skies of opposing fighters, but a regime dominated by long-range, stealthy unmanned craft. On land, the clash of massive, combined-arms armored forces may be replaced by the dashes of much lighter, stealthier and information-intensive forces, augmented by fleets of robots, some small enough to fit in soldiers’ pockets. Control of the sea could be largely determined not by fleets of surface combatants and aircraft carriers, but from land- and space-based systems, forcing navies to maneuver and fight underwater. Space itself will become a theater of war, as nations gain access to space capabilities and come to rely on them; further, the distinction between military and commercial space systems – combatants and noncombatants – will become blurred. Information systems will become an important focus of attack, particularly for U.S. enemies seeking to short-circuit sophisticated American forces. And advanced forms of biological warfare that can “target” specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool.

https://cryptome.org/rad.htm

When I read this in the early 2000s, I wrote to an old friend who was a biology professor at the University of Maryland at College Park (near Fort Detrick) (she is now at Cornell) and asked her if she thought it would be theoretically possible for specific genotypes to be targeted with biological weapons. She never responded and I didn't try a second time.

It has been my belief that the Chinese read this report and took it seriously.

Weirdly, what you both have in common is that you both want to believe it's possible.

It is not. Period.

I have advanced degrees in all of this stuff, you can believe me or not, what's more likely though - the Chinese are trying to do something that would help them win a doomsday scenario, or they are just hoping that it might work and are wasting money because of the potential upside.

Anyone with cursory biological knowledge knows this is BS. The only people who would buy this are the futurist types that think humans are so much more advanced than they actually are, and the covidians who think sarscov2 is actually something dangerous, which it is not, according to the data regarding population level studies (it's a strong flu or common cold, period). These same people don't even realize the jabs are meant as the real biological weapon, because in both the short and long term, they do more damage and kill more people, especially when accounting for fertility and age.

I'll laugh if someone talks about how effective China can be if wiping out another country's 80 year olds. LOL!

Didn't have these world problems with Trump in office. Just sayin!
