Who is this badass??


Answer at bottom.


Army soldiers glowed back in the 50s...


The Army demonstrated its new atom-powered X-ray unit designed for combat use. It weighs only 48 pounds, is powered by radioactive thulium and can produce an X-ray picture without electricity, water or darkroom. Dr. Stanhope Bayne Jones, (right) technical director of research and development, Army Surgeon General's Office, adjusts the portable unit carried by Captain Eugene W. Coleman, of Monroe, Michigan. (1955)


For the first time, quarks and gluons were used to describe properties of atomic nuclei, which until now had been explained by the existence of protons and neutrons. The temporary pair of correlated nucleons is highlighted in purple.

October 19, 1931: John le Carré, one of the greatest spy novelists, was born in Poole, Dorset, England. His 3rd novel, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, became an international best-seller and was followed by others including: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Smiley’s People, and The Constant Gardener.

Michael Dean interviews John le Carré (pen name of David John Moore Cornwell) in 1974.

Le Carré: "The notion of secret service is that they do with their left hand what the government would like to do with its right hand. The gov't lays down its policy and the secret service, by secret means furthers that policy."

"And what has happened with the CIA in particular, is that you have frequently a weak, fumbling gov't where your chief executive is absorbed by all sorts of other activities. And you have a lot of experts in a hothouse, hacking out policy and then carrying it out. So, they're doing both jobs. And you abdicate to a secret service, the CIA, which is heaven knows how many times the size of the American State Dept. and has an appropriation which would be larger than our own national budget, I should think. You delegate to that organisation not only the execution, the clandestine execution of policy but alas, for want of a better one, the formation of policy."

Interviewer: So the secret service is strong when gov't is most weak?

Le Carré: "That's right - is at its most autonomous when the gov't dithers. And jeepers, we know about that."

That right there is a very good description of the "Deep State" and what it does behind the shadows.

Le Carré died at Royal Cornwall Hospital, Truro, on 12 December 2020, aged 89. An inquest completed in June 2021 concluded that le Carré died after sustaining a fall at his home. His wife Valerie died on 27 February 2021, two months after her husband, at age 82.

In 2023, biographer Adam Sisman in The Secret Life of John le Carré identified 11 women with whom le Carré had affairs during his second marriage.

Le Carré's son Timothy died on May 31, 2022 at the age of 59, shortly after he finished editing A Private Spy, a collection of his father's letters.

There is the other kind of book where you take one character, you take another character and you put them into collision, and the collision arrives because they have different appetites, and you begin to get the essence of drama.

The cat sat on the mat is not a story, British writer John Le Carré has said. “But the cat sat on the dog’s mat is the beginning of an exciting story.”

I guess it's high time to abolish the Department of Education.


It appears the increase in spending on public schools went entirely towards empowering local Karens with administrative positions, and those Karens proceeded to spend all their time demonizing little boys and trying to force them to behave like little girls.


This AI depiction of purgatory is terrifying. Even Kubrick would have vomited at the thought of it.



All of these clowns are on their way out, whether they admit it or not. Meanwhile Poland, increasingly the military heart of NATO, was suspiciously uninvited, even when led by a pliant Donald Tusk. (Prime Minister of Poland)

Have you noticed when plugging in search terms into the machine that Google now responds first with a crafty AI overview.


I've also noticed (actually for quite awhile) that almost anything old you search on the machine only coughs up links to articles within the 21st century...for endless pages of search results. ANYTHING in politics and you'll spend hours searching for what you're actually trying to find. Then spend even more hours on trying to find respectable sources to give credence to said articles. The Ouroboros of Futility.

More recently, depending on your search terms the first or second link will be to a tweet. LOL!! Back during the Covid Op, Google was blocking twitter. When searching for providence on a old quote or an old photo you get nothing but BS, like a tweet from a bot! Not always but damn too often.

Also, that 2 trillion dollar machine is now funding nuclear reactors to provide the much needed energy to serve you more of that AI BS!!



October 19, 1987: the U.S. Navy destroyed two Iranian oil platforms during Operation Nimble Archer. The operation was in retaliation for Iran's missile attack on a reflagged Kuwaiti tanker. Iranian forces had been using the platforms as command-and-control posts to track shipping.


Twenty minutes before the surface action group opened fire, USS Thach radioed the platforms, telling the crews to abandon them, you are about to be bombed.

Four U.S. destroyers lined up — USS Hoel (DDG-13), USS John Young (DD-973), USS Kidd (DDG-993), and USS Leftwich (DD-984) — at 2 p.m., Gulf time, the ships began firing hundreds of naval gun shells at the platforms. The facilities stubbornly refused to crumble; their steel lattice proved almost impervious to the blasting shells. But the incendiary effect eventually set them afire. I was stationed on the USS Leftwich, except years later. Which ironically we did same shelling in the Persian Gulf and had a SEAL Team onboard to place explosives on the oil platforms.




One full year and we still haven’t stopped the Houthis from attacking US warships nor cargo & oil tankers. You gotta be joking me. From forever wars to low level perpetual conflicts. This has to be by deliberate choice - there's no reason why the ragtag Houthi forces should still be allowed to pose a threat to anyone unless we decided to allow it.


How one warship thwarting a Houthi attack a year ago changed the Navy
