Good morning gg, thanks for that. Still the best version, imho

Some good news about Ukraine/Russia war, sorta
Just today really. Maybe not the best of news but hopefully derails at least for the time being a full blown war in Europe.
US sees no signs that Russia is ready to blow up nuclear power plant or use nuclear weapons – Kirby
The good news here is that Biden admin signaling to Graham and Zelinsky not to damage the nuclear power plant to create a reason for direct NATO intervention into the Ukr/Russia war.
US Senate proposes that radioactive contamination of NATO territory caused by Russia be considered as attack on Alliance
Zelensky kept warning that the Russians would deliberately create a massive act of environmental terrorism by bombing the nuke plant. Ukraine even had drills in case this fictional even happens. Pretty obvious Zelensky working directly with Graham to pull us into a direct war with Russia. I would guess the Biden admin is not happy with some crazed senator deciding when the US should go to war.
The second good piece of news is that the Russians have fairly secured the plant to stop any sort of Chernobyl event.

The irony of course is that the UK has sent depleted uranium tank shells to the Ukrainians.
Good morning Mr. W. Thanks for the good necws, such as it is.
The pea-brains in the elenski regime have had this fixation on attacking the Z reactor almost since the day this fracas started. Personally, I hope they use an infantry strike force instead of a missile barrage, because the latter has some prospect of partial success that I suspect the former would not. The Rus know of the Ukie fixation and are no doubt prepped as best as they can be.

If they want to create
a dirty bomb, the way to do it would not be to attack the containment structures of any of the reactors. The way to do it would be to attack the spent fuel pools, which are much softer targets: a cruise missile fuzed for second contact could punch through the roof, splash through the water, and detonate near the bottom of the pool, lifting the contents out and distributing it around the neighborhood.
It would not be as toasty-hot as the fuel still undergoing the initial post-shutdown cooling in the reactors, but it would be quite hot enough to do the job. Especially if that was combined with an effort to kill the last of the cooling for the reactors themselves by knocking out the one remaining power feed to the plant and the diesel backups: the initial fuel-scattering would render the site inaccessible and unrepairable, and then it would just be a matter of time until the hottest of the reactors boiled dry to join the fun (one is still generating steam and power for the site and the nearby community of Energodar). Not something for those seeking instant gratification, of course, but it'd make a fine, permanent mess. It'd just take a little longer to happen than it did at Fukushima.
I'm reminded of Mercutio's speech: "Marry, 'tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church-door, but 'tis enough, 'twill serve: ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man."

I started watching Chernobyl again after reading about the
false flag on the power plant and boy are those who are thinking of doing fcking idiots! If people hadn’t risked their lives to get the fires extinguished and the other things they did millions of people might have died. They showed the people who had gotten lethal doses of radiation just before they died and good gawd anyone thinking of planning to blow it up must be there in person.
Once upon a time the thought of nuclear war was enough to convince people of the insanity of it, and yet here are people who think that it’s survivable. They should be removed from government and sent for psychiatric evaluation! Who gave them the right to risk billions of lives?

The rich seem to think they can survive a nuke war, etc
Interesting essay from a technologist invited to a meeting with a select group of super wealthy talking about how best to survive the worst of disasters. He tried to tell them that the way to survive is to ensure systems that make us all survive.
The super-rich ‘preppers’ planning to save themselves from the apocalypse
My take is that if the super rich could get into their bunkers, the best they can hope for is to live a bit longer than those who died during some great event like a nuclear war. But not by much.
I love those
ultrarich preppers. Talk about having no idea about how the world actually works...
I suspect that their carefully selected enslaved security goons will give them a couple of weeks of living like kings in their bunkers- until said goons can no longer stand the 24/7 bitching, as the Beautiful People discover that they stocked the wrong wine/cigars/ice cream/whores and they can't go to Starbucks and the air smells funny and their tans are fading and worse yet the avocados are brown and the arugula is wilting. Horror.
The goons will then come to the realization that *they* can live like kings instead. About two weeks in, the lifeless carcasses of the original rich people will be flung over the walls of their compounds by their own muscle. This interim situation will then persist until the raging zombie masses show up and the ammo finally runs out.
End result will be the same. I just find it so very amusing that the rich people are very effectively breeding and arming their own apex predators...

Chris Hedges said that the guards will take over
For some reason, reminded of this scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Our future I suppose.
I remember when the PTB started building bunkers in NZ
My thought was why would anyone want to live underground and in a basic prison instead of trying to fix the world that they already have? Just goes to show that just because one is smart enough to game the system and make loads of something that the world just made up doesn’t mean they are smarter than the rest of us. High IQ folks are dumb in lots of other wayy. Have you ever had a conversation with one? Sheesh I wondered how they lived as long as they had.

This essay might interest you too
It’s on the potential false flag attack on the nuclear power plant. Alex thinks that this video of Budanov was computer generated.
As mentioned NATO has already planned to attack Russian targets with depleted uranium, but it’s presumed that Russia already blew them up, but Biden has authorized us to send them too. And remember that Lindsay Graham recently met with his BFF Zelensky and said some weird things and now he’s introduced legislation that says if Russia does blow it up then that will be an excuse for NATO to invade. Or maybe put NATO peacekeepers there. Graham and Bluementhol should be the first 2 removed and sent for psychiatric evaluation.

I'm all for Graham and Blumenthal
standing with Ukraine.
Preferably somewhere like Bakhmut. Give them some big Ukraine and Azov flags to
wave around...
And just as much training as some of the new recruits
are getting. I wonder if any of them are being trained how to detect mines or how to avoid them? The video I watched yesterday has stayed with me. It looked like the guy patiently pulled out his tourniquet and got it on even though he had to be in excruciating pain.

I was discussing a profferred plea bargain
with my client, and told him that I had an idea to get an even better deal.
I approached the prosecutor, said I believe my client is an excellent candidate for a Hunter Biden deal, and that it would demonstrate the county does not have a two-tiered system of justice.
I got it! My client is an educated, extra smart, extra handsome white guy. The prosecutor got a big laugh out of it, even the judge liked it.
What a day!

A terrific bit of socio-political legerdemain. Your client is
very lucky to have you as counsel.

IWW was heavily targeted under the Espionage Act
I know that because Bill Haywood talks a lot about it in my copy of his autobiography.
And now they're using it to go after Trump.
Vivek Ramaswamy is vowing to get rid of it if elected:
Good morning BR, thanks for the info. Repeal of the
espionage act, though a great idea, is sadly not gonna happen, but it is good that somebody is putting it in play in the public square
