Much as I am deeply worried over the harm they are now self-inflicting, and the grave risk viral hysteria is leading to much worse, this from Maniak truly must be the strong line each and every one of us holds to:

"I'm not in it to get half a country out of a fucking cult. I'll be there to help those who start seeing what they've been sucked in for so long, but I'm not interested in saving the "hey I was just following orders" collaborators. And this is literally where we're at now. 80 years later, same shit, even wider region.

I'll have sympathy for those who demonstrate some kind of cognition of what's been happening and want to climb out of it."

Why?

Because they will show no mercy to non-complying by us on even the smallest most irrelevant item or agenda.

They have become the monster, and reaching out to them is dangerous to our own safety on multiple levels, as well as our loved ones.

And on that note- only and EXCLUSIVELY those you truly love personally should be shown at least some grace or neutral responses if they are caught in the cult. But not more than caution and neccessary distancing if they view you as an enemy and wish harm upon you if you disagree with them.

While the Ukr nationalist below is indeed a threat in Ukraine, the numbers mentioned are hilariously high:

Azov itself has been wiped completely out repeatedly, then reconstituted with new members and sent into battles yet again- very few being the fanatical Bandarists, seeing as attrition is so high it is to the point of almost all troops now sent to the front lines are forced very reluctant recruits.

Those Bandarists left, like Right Sector, routinely refuse orders from Ukr MoD to engage with Russia or to go to the front lines and instead hover on the back edges as enforcement lines to force raw troops to stay...

But considering desertion in Ukr is now estimated as likely in the thousands a week very recently I strongly suspect very few are left even at that line.

I think they pooled most still alive into the ranks of the ill fated Sumy to Kursk action, and they along with quite a few "int'l legion" men (aka westen special forces troops sent in as fake discharged) are trapped and dead or soon to be so.

But yes, the scarce but remaining will be a huge risk to any nation's govt pushing non nationalist agendas- why do you THINK the letter agencies were trying so hard to recruit and ship over imaginary "Nazis" here? 😹🤦 But they instead got propagandized NAFO fellas and idiots, plus the apolitical mercs who work for the paycheck and care nothing for nation or political agendas.

Oh, and all those weapons missing? Long gone, sold to the known orgs and operations running in or through Ukraine for decades now- then sold on to various countries and warring groups across the planet at a tidy profit. Because everyone knew Ukr was a corrupt shithole they also knew this was going to happen to anything transportable delivered there, and it would mostly end up in warring nations and in the hands of many that hate the West.

Putting this under every thread relating:

What’s more important is that he faces charges of possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. That effectively makes the weapon untraceable (unless for some reason there’s ballistic evidence tying it to another crime). The only reason serial numbers are scrubbed is to protect the seller, or whoever gave him the weapon. Thats where conspiracy investigation begins. As a felon, who can’t legally possess a firearm, there’s conspiracy to provide him with it.

Now… what really strange here is that Florida has a private sellers loophole (gun shows) where purchasers don’t need a criminal background check or waiting period to buy an SKS. Just a drivers licence the seller has to record. There’s no reason to file off serial numbers, because a non-licenced private seller wouldn’t be breaking the law selling to Routh or any felon.

Logically, someone sold/gave him the gun, and filed the serials, becuase they knew what they were doing was illegal or he was going to do something illegal with it.

And as a final thought:

Imagine this. You're sitting at home. An alert blares on the radio, your phone, all your devices. Everything starts blaring.

Incoming missile attack, seek shelter! over and over again. You panic, you scramble, you try to find the safest spot you can go to, or you just sit hugging your family. A little time passes, and all the power goes out. Hours more, waiting for the flash, and finally, whatever had batteries blare to life again. ALL CLEAR, STAND BY FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS! Soon, a message from your country's respective leader informs you that you were attacked, but, your missile defense systems stopped most of them. The other guys got it really good though. Now, be careful because some did land here, here, and here. So don't go there. There will be road blocks and troops to keep you safe and out of those areas. Now, we must all work together and trust our glorious leader to see us through the dark times ahead. Power should be restored in the coming weeks, however, all communication to outside influe...I mean locations have been severed.

Now consider the latest hysteria media narratives and OUR GOVT'S claims against our lived realities, 😒 like "the communists" didn't migrate here en masse during the Stalin era and their descendants become the basis of both the Neolibs and Neocons:

nooo you're not allowed to have opinions contrary to the official government position what do you think you are some kind of free citizen??? oh my god everything or opponents believe in is Russian propaganda and disinformation! what a crazy coincidence! nobody could ever generate any of these opinions organically! your gas and groceries being twice as expensive is just a psyop!

That's the thing that gets me. All of this is common sense shit that a lot of people freely talk about. Suggesting that there needs to be any outside influence is absurd before you even break down their bullet points.

I could write paragraphs about why each bullet point is common sense stuff.

This “leak” is a psyop by the DOJ. It’s designed to make you think that if you have any of those beliefs, that you are a victim of Russian brainwashing, and did not arrive at those conclusions by coming to them yourself. Then, I suppose, you would be expected to react against this by changing your positions.

Why are all these “leaks” just bullet point allegations with no evidence? This didn’t need to be leaked, they’ve been making these allegations without evidence for almost a decade.

If a politician says something, people don't believe it. If a department accidentally leaks something, people believe it. Cmon, these tricks have been being used for a year or two now. Get with the program.

Same script as eight years ago. Same jingoistic seething, as if a Democrat gave a fuck about America and wouldn’t rather replace it with the old Soviet Union.

Why yes I too believe a Russian military PSYOP will be planned in English using Microsoft word…….no you fool, this is CLEARLY whipped up by an NGO at the behest of NATO. It’s tha classic five eyes shit:

I didn’t lie to you British agents lied to me I just passed it along to you.

It works WHEN you have a total lockdown on all media sources. If just one source isn’t in your control it always blows up in your face.

While Russian propaganda is definitely real it is almost entirely inwardly directed- and their population just ignores it.

This leak just reeks of western elite desperation trying to any silence opposing voices with the same old muh Kremlin playbook garbage.

Also imagine a fucking secret Russian document entirely in English and fucking mentioning both gamers and 4chan, it's either a shit troll or lefty psyop because their brigade is filled with waterbrains who'd use this kind of language.

"The US literally has the best military on earth. Even Russia and China will concede to this. Russian nuclear assets are very outdated and likely inoperable." How are people like you even real? Literally every single thing you wrote is incorrect.

If they could they would have done it already. The USA couldn't even take on the Houthis and you expect me to believe that the only reason they don't take over the entire world is because they don't want to?!?

If that was the case, US would definitely jump Russia already. Just like Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya. But for some reason something is deterring them. I guess getting nuked back.

I think the average American really believes we have a first rate military and that’s why it’s one of our largest budget deficits. All the area 51 and space tech propaganda also bolsters this belief

The mere fact they are posting this kind of shit is scary, like there is some faction of Western power who thinks their worldview can be saved if they launch a first strike.

And now about our Nuclear capabilities.... Let me do this the easy way and put up a few cogent accurate statements made by others recently.

THIS is closer to the likely outcome:

The claim the U.S. could strike "all Russian and Chinese nuke launch pads in 2 hours" is pretty useless when everything they have will have hit the targets here, at sea, and in allied nations, AND what WE have may not even launch more than a fraction after the first 30 minutes though; worse, we'll just end up hitting their empty silos while they'll hit our mil and govt extensively as we still go hand in hand to extinction.

You are not disabling silos with tomahawks. Mobile launchers? Yes, some. Silos, no. Land based silos are designed to withstand around 10kT of boom. The nuclear tomahawks are all retired. If you're talking disabling silos, you're talking MIRVs.

"Look into the flaming pumpkin seed. it's a 14,000 mph spacecraft with about 60 nukes on it." Your most recent ICBM entered service in the 70s. Good luck, you're gonna need it.

The US currently needs to liquidate its stocks of aging LGM-30s, too. Dark futures.

Every major nation has early warning detection for this type of shit.

And those Russian launchers can send nukes into space in 10 minutes, and when its in space each messile split into 12 hypersonic (20 000 km/h) nukes. you aint stoping that. Plus looks like the us lacks "hypersonic" missiles.

Going to need to get that first strike hit down to 2 minutes unless you're ready to get nuked.

That's cool and all, but it takes like 20 minutes to launch a nuke and hit a target with one. For real, like they wouldn’t see that shit coming and immediately counterstrike.

We could launch this puppy, and within about 0.5 seconds every nation with satellite infrared technology would see it. They would probably wait until it became hostile, and if it actually deployed its payload, IMMEDIATELY you would see a full-scale nuclear response from our enemies. We could probably take out 1 or 2 before they had a chance to respond.

Nice, if only this was early 60s and nuclear missiles were launched from launchpads.

More importantly, my understanding is that they don't exclusively use fixed launch sites, and their doctrines have a strong focus on mobile launch capability; trains, trucks, tunnel systems, SLBMs, specifically meant to mitigate the efficacy of first-strike and aerial attacks against them.

Their arsenals are mixed use. They only have a smattering of fixed launchers. Russia specifically has used mobile launchers since the fuckin 60s, precisely because it's not possible to locate them in that much terrain. Hell, even their own government doesn't know where they are most of the time.

Most of the Chinese and Russian nuclear arsenals are on subs or mobile launchers. Imagine actually shilling for a nuclear war and thinking you'd somehow survive it rather than watching your skin melt off.

Most of Russian hypersonic missiles are nuclear capable. The entire Russian nuclear fleet has been replaced with new models. Those models are newer than the US fleet. The entire russian nuclear triad was overhauled over the last 20 years. None of the old weapons are even in service anymore. You have the Sarmat, Zircon, Kinzhal, the new SLBM RSM-56 Bulava, all of which have been tested and put into service. All of which are more modern and more capable than anything the US has. There are literally videos of Iskanders dropping on top of Patriot systems, you can even see the Patriot firing its missiles and failing to shoot it down. The US canceled their new SLBM project due to rising costs and failures, as well as their main hypersonic missile program. The sarmat was successfully tested again last year and is now the world's longest range ICBM with hypersonic glide vehicles and MIRV capabilities. Russia has a nuclear triad: even if you disable all silos in one go (which you can't, since they have active missile defense systems like the US does), two thirds of the nukes are hidden on nuclear submarines and those transporter launch vehicles with the rockets on them.

Now why should you listen to ME vs the "experts" and/or "media" and/or "your team" ideologically or politically?

Look, this is going to come off as incredibly arrogant and talking down... even delusional to some who have believed for a lifetime the now-internalized U.S. narratives.

I know this. BUT SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP UP AND SPEAK OUT.

Fact is I'm smart and endlessly curious, have always been interested in history and the moving parts, and have an agile comprehensive memory. And I do not blindly believe or trust authority, and have never bought into any ideological or economic OR political beliefs while frequently dissecting and critiquing any promoted.

I am also sitting on a lifetime of experience and knowledge, even before the last half a decade and more of myriad and diverse very public debacles we have all been subjected to.

And I have finally understood I am not the average and that the majority of humanity does not, CANNOT, think and analyze without any real effort like I do.

Let alone have a neutral mindset and prefer the harsh truth over comforting beliefs.

Add- My own father was an investigative reporter, and much others would never question or be exposed to was involved.

Then I was gifted with a nuclear reactor engineer stepdad, one who was in the Navy then corp latest best research and builds domestic and internationally. And he talked a lot, often, at length about what we and friendly countries had, knew, were doing or building both as energy and militarily. Better, nearly everything he said back then is now being revealed as absolutely 100% factually accurate and true. I expect the last bits are as well.

BREAKING: Ukraine F-16 Crashes by RandomCollection in WayOfTheBern

[–]sdl5 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

So.... Trying to not smirk too hard here, but our prima donna fussypants flying house of cards plane was NEVER going to function in the Ukraine.

Now as to what happened.

Three actual event destroying it possibilities are A pilot error/ground conditions crash, B1 shot down by Russia or B2 friendly fire, C bombed on the ground.

I am actually ruling out B1 as no Russia linked claiming of the credit in any way. Not even the no source braggers.

So the first A is an easy choice for Ukraine leadership to make- and almost excusable.

But it both took too long to say this AND Z summarily fired the Commander General of UAF shortly after.

Combine that with the truly horrific history of Patriots shooting down allied planes AND the F16 identifying radio comms being the cause of past targetting by FF (used to be openly written about in Western and mil pubs).

And there is an interesting tidbit that a PR event was held with the Mom of the OTHER Ace pilot already killed- on the ground where the F16s are at... and subtle visual details exposed it as a specific location i n W Ukraine.

And last is that it happened the very same night extensive Ru missiles came in across Ukr, including 8n Kharkov with valid targets- that DAYS later Ukr PR have tried to paint as vicious civilian destruction with bizarre overtly questionable photos and detailed claims.

Leaving us with B2 as highly likely and C as a definite possibility.

Soon enough the US and its vassals will abandon Ukraine and it will then suffer huge internal problems because it's a nation ravaged by a war it should never have entered into.

Russia is NOT going to take on or take over the Bandarist areas or Westen Ukraine. Period.

Real politick is very obviously telegraphing just that.

They can be the West's problem for eternity, from the insane debt to the questionable land sales/corp relationships to the boatloads of war cripples to the progressively more inoperable or damaged Soviet era infrastructure they have utterly failed to maintain.

And the Dniepr zone will be the demilitarized line one way or another- imo, it should extend to Odessa south in a line from the Bug and due north through I believe that's Pavlograd to the border juncture with Belarus and be done with these cross border rockets and attacks on civilians. The Belarus border is a wide swath of nearly impassable swampy ground for most of it and Chernobyl for the other, so no need to worry much about that stretch.

Maybe even Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania can reclaim deeply historical chunks too, and let Poland deal with the rest as proxy since they so fervently want to be a US guard dog 💁

Anyone that refers to Russian forces as the Mongol Horde is severely lacking in historical knowledge. As is thinking NK is ethnically related to GK hordes more than peripherally- if they were arriving at all.

And the Chinese, definitely heavily Han aka Mongol GK hordes in upper classes, has a laughable joint exercises force in Belarus, not conflict zone- and that nation won't be engaging unless directly attacked first.

[–]sdl5 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Well.... First off this was made up by pro Ukr western propagandists: "As we all know, North Korea is sending troops to fight in Ukraine, alongside their Russian allies. A nuclear armed military of 1.3 million men. And, it's more than even that."

It was SUPPOSED TO make Putin look weak and desperate for more troops. LOL

Next, Russia isn't pacifying Ukraine. They are neutering it's ability to be a problem later and purging via artillery their pro Bandera population. And, since so many of the older surviving hardcore are the behind the front blocking forces still, this is a slow process of forcing more into direct front line exposure positions.

But yeah, the civilian targeting actions are all the Ukr crazies in charge have left, their fronts are steadily collapsing, they have almost no functional AA left and what they do have is more likely to ram itself into the "protected buildings" than not when fired.

Meanwhile mil spending in RUSSIA is mostly domestic greatly boosting their real economy, creating tons of great paying jobs, and solidifying stable trade outside US influence.

And as a bonus OUR WESTERN MIL IS BEING DEFANGED AND LEFT DEFENSELESS TOO. By our own willful actions of sending nearly everything held by allies and much internal to be BIG BADA BOOMed in the front line cities, train yards, and mil bases across the Ukraine.

I call that a win, as only a true personal fear of dying will perhaps get through to the ex Bolshevik families and their kids currently controlling our levers of power.

The Most Common Essential Jobs in the US Don’t Pay a Living Wage by RandomCollection in WayOfTheBern

[–]sdl5 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

ok no

First, the moving goalpost of living wage that is rarely benchmarked now.

Also, No real hard data vs cost of living locations. That can be expanded on below.

Second, by clicking the income linked words I find... THEY FLAT LIED in their first paragraphs:

Healthcare aides pay median is the top figure of 33.5k, not the 29k lowest of the four.

Next, and this is a HUGE red flag that every single one of us that survived lockdown should reject, is their idea of  Essential Worker jobs.

Exactly ONE of the top listed jobs is essential, the others are modern service economy tasks that were more than tossed to the curb.

Fast Food, Retail Clerk, Customer Counter had been all but made redundant across big swaths of open businesses for pushing TWO YEARS, and many never brought back more than a fraction of past staff numbers even post.

So I must ask: Seriously?

Now a caveat on the one qualifying job: What kind of skills, experience, training, or licensing are pay levels? And are they calling to pay more to the most questionable hired peeps, even the same as good skilled staff?

I am in and out of these places EVERY SINGLE WEEK,  and when I say the majority have no business working with vulnerable patients I am being polite.

And based on a further list linked these jobs could be best classified as Helpers, not more. So pay them MORE? More like fire the lot currently heavily imported to do the work , and also promote junior college and training in High School to attain the related work with a decent pay range offered to them, AFTER STARTING IN THE HELPER JOBS.

Then we get into the rest of the Under Livable Wage jobs claimed-

Some are, Some most assuredly are NOT.

Now keep in mind the actual medians of the rest are both essential and employ many, courtesy OF THEIR OWN LINK-

NETWORK ADMINS (what keeps it all working online) 95k


The final kicker to me is the intense deflection from the CAUSES OF OIR CORE URBAN HOUSING CRISIS:

"Despite a much-touted economic recovery, about half the country is still living paycheck to paycheck, and deep income inequality is increasingly the throughline connecting so many woes and resentments. From the polarization and anti-immigrant animus exploited by Trump and the global far right, to skyrocketing housing prices and mass homelessness, the affordability crisis is taking center stage in the public consciousness."

"Despite a much-touted economic recovery" is a flat lie- There is no economic recovery, there is  Wall Street and Inflation Bubble, and INVESTOR owned housing.

"From the polarization and anti-immigrant animus" is a direct result of mass supported BY THESE TYPES of legal and major illegal immigration into already depressed economy and overwhelmed housing markets, then giving housing to them over residents and encouraging hiring of same.

Guess why a poor jobs market, lack of housing and an affordability slash inflation crisis is happening?

This claim is just not true, and has not been for decades now.

These death and mortality stats are ZERO SURPRISE to anyone familiar with our vast homeless enclaves, the efforts to get them into even just shelter, and the resistance to anything resembling safe behaviors.

If they were honest and used the housed who are ALSO suffering debilitating mental illnesses, abjectly addicted to severely harmful illegal substances, engaging in various crimes regularly, trading unprotected sex for drugs, and not eating healthful foods even when given....

Why are we still out there at all? Let alone funding countries against a regional nation? No, real practical reasons not self destructive in the end.

I cannot think of anything to justify this idiocy.

I think we will find this is a blatant delusion, and sooner than later:

"America, however, has a great degree of strategic depth - the same strategic depth which allowed it to withdraw from Vietnam or Afghanistan with few meaningful ill effects on the American homeland. The possibility most certainly remains for a prosperous and secure America long after withdrawing from Syria and Ukraine"

We are teetering very close to implosion, financially, domestic economically, energy, infrastructure, internal population issues, imported bodies, and most certainly the MIC which is all but missing the I now.

Private equity should share more wealth with workers, says US pension giant | Calstrs investment chief says industry needs ‘to do a better job’ in sharing profits with employees of companies it buys by RandomCollection in WayOfTheBern

My guess? Pension funds, particularly those for government employees, have invested FAR TOO MUCH of their equity they need for pension payouts into private equity ops- and are just getting to the point pf graspong that the drained and killed companies to pillage are running out.... and thus the value of those PEFs they have all their needed money in are going to start being sucked dry by execs then shut down with losses.

Also- the unmentioned status of whether or not that "mild covid" was prefaced by the vax, and any boosters....

15% lung reduction alone is probably NOT long covid- but it definitely indicates he was not nearly in as good shape as he claims.

I say this as MY lung capacity was worse than that when no real active activities with lots of fresh air up to age 49... but dramatically improved after that even with all the childhood ear nose throat bugs I thought were the reason.

And yes, the one nasty bout of catching c19 in Dec 21 took me out breathing wise for 2.5 months- but after another couple months of outside activity and mild exertion daily even the remnant issues faded away and I am fine again.

But he is longterm debilitated???? Nah, he is hiding in a bubble and not actually healthy.

An angry ex prisoner with unresolved issues driving their entire worldview and attitudes is NOT a rational person to give a writing platform to.

I would say this no matter who they were.

And any sane publisher or media site should pause and think very hard before considering putting his words in front of a large audience as if mainstream.

For ghis part- This is really how Putin responds to live questions, lol

He's been known to sit for many more hours taking live calls from the public, reporter questions, expert queries, and fire off incredibly detailed thoughtful and complex answers that most of us would spend a week of intense focused research and writing up our notes to come half as close.

Personally, I think he has a steel trap mind for retaining info combined with Asperger's.

Much as it sounds coldly inhumane, you cannot transfer poison to other substances and expect it to not create a new poisonous location, no matter how small the volume.

These people are literally virulently toxic, and no niceness or opportunity to do good will cure them.

This is quite literally their entire worldview and reason for existing.

They do not WANT to be rescued, and will simply spread the rot wider if you try to incorporate them into healthy groups.
