OT WE 18 JUN 25 ~ Test


~
This is only a test! For the next 60 seconds you will be exposed to noise.
A test of the emergency national security broadcasting system (funded by you).

Naw, just kidding folks. It has been a long time since I've had to listen to a emergency test taking over the
airwaves on the radio, so maybe it has been tested out? Doesn't matter too much either way.

So getting back to your regularly scheduled broadcast, I am devoid of much more than the falsely
promoted concept of 'national security'. Can't find it anywhere, even looking under rocks. Only worms.

Open Thread so share whatever you have.

Sort of lost in the fog here.
Comfortably cool and calm.
Hope it is manageable out there
on your end.

Cheers!

@QMS
The fog will burn off in an hour or so. Upper 80's to low 90's in the forecast.

Congrats to all the new grads.

Spot on. Certainly, the America that I remember (and mourn) has already been made to go away...

I am enjoying my coffee, wondering why Aljazeera is very hinky this morning. Videos just go black. Truly, nothing to see here, amirite?
A final divorce hearing is coming this afternoon. Opposing counsel doesn't have a single friend in the legal community. Here's why: Her poor, abused client is a poor woman, asking for 2 modest properties worth $68,000 total. She agrees my client can have a $15,000 boat and $15,000 truck, $38,000 in cattle, as examples of how fair she is. Problem: Public tax appraisal records appraise her modest properties at $187,000. The boat is old, has no title, can't be put into any waters except privately owned ponds. Kelly Blue Book values the 21 yr old truck at $1200. Cattle are valued at auction prices
It's gonna be a long afternoon.
My client can't read, and doesn't understand words above maybe 4th grade. I can't let opposing counsel screw around with him.
I will be looking around the internet in search of truthful info from the ME. Wish me luck!
Thanks for the OT, and may the fog clear, friend!

Just like in old Soviet and East German times when access to non-Soviet controlled media was verboten. So much for the “free” in the “Free World.”

still go out here with regularity in these parts, due to our occasionally-insane weather: tornado warnings are done when the line of cells get big enough to threaten multiple counties, or worse, organize themselves into a derecho. Colorado gets a fair number of derechos, as the storms are born and grow here in the wind shadow of the Rockies, before they graduate to pound the crap out of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska.

They changed the noise a few years ago. Instead of a nice pure tone followed by a broadcaster reading the alert, they now consist of a long burst of modem noise, followed by a poorly-synthesized voice reciting the concern, followed by three final farts of modem noise. Doesn't have the same cachet, somehow.

I'm glad that they happen relatively often, at least in the spring and summer. Helps keep the panic down.

Reminds me of the intro to the outer limits...

Been hand digging the gravel out of a roadside drainage ditch. More rain due this pm. I've got it cleared enough to handle it, I think. Tomorrow I'll touch it up with the box scrape. Always something.

Hope all's well in your world!

I got automated phone call warnings on my land line. I think we received at least 3 calls. First time that has happened.

If this is true then Iran is having better luck than the Houthis.

This is the 2nd one I’ve seen do this. The other one was even more spectacular.

Normally, in such failure scenarios, the missile remains structurally intact and crashes along an uncontrolled, random trajectory. However, in this case, the mid-air breakup significantly altered that behavior.

.... China launched 11,787 drones all at the same time in the night sky over Chongqing, China — because they are really, really good at mastering complex technology systems and making impossibly beautiful images. At the same time, China also made history by setting a new Guinness World Record for the largest aerial image ever created by multirotors and drones.

That's how the People's Republic rolls.

...on Deep Dive today. He even brings up the Israel nuclear blackmail issue, that they would threaten to use nuclear weapons in extreme conditions, and the potential outcomes.

He understands the situation, and the limited window we have to avoid catastrophe. He's not all that hopeful. I think it's an honest, accurate appraisal. It's an hour long, but it's a quality evaluation worth the time if you have it. If anyone has any sense in the administration or Congress they'll give up their self destructive course, and take his advice.

Six days and still no Tat for the Iranian Tit

Of course there could be a mushroom cloud over Tehran at any moment, but for right now it looks like my skepticism was justified:

It is 10:15am on the west coast and NBC and ABC are covering the escalation of violence between Israel and its enemies. In a titanic wave of irony, both networks are referring to Iran's "retaliatory" missile attack, even as they cheerlead for Israel and the Pentagon's defense against it.

If Iran is "retaliating," that means that Israel started the ruckus. That blows up the propaganda about Israel just defending itself from "terrorists."

If one takes all this at face value, we will all be dead or envying those already dead from nuclear war within a few days.

I do not have a scintilla of evidence to support my skepticism about this CRISIS, but I suspect that we are watching another version of the Ukraine-Russia war that sure nuff kills a lot of people, as the fighting drags on toward its third year with nonstop bullshit perpetually claiming that Ukraine is "winning."

The imperative is war. But if somebody actually wins a war, the gravy train stops.

I also suspect that some other mysterious agenda is at work to establish a new world order.

It seems to me that we are being treated to a non-stop show of frightening waves of chaos. Covid, Ukraine, Hamas and now Iran. The scares are buttressed by a lot of dead bodies, making it hard to argue that it is all hokum.

If I am just wrong and there really are Zionism supporting Billionaire Power Mongers who imagine that Israel is winning, just like Ukraine is winning and like Pfizer won the war against Covid -- I won't ever have to be embarrassed about my error as we will all be dead.

No matter how hideous the "news" may be, it is impossible to be certain about what is going on. Keeping us chasing after our favored boogie bears is an easy tactic for the Powers That Be to keep us running around in circles
