Panic mode
Spent the weekend at the farm to lead a pack of kayaks down the Cowlitz River on one of the hottest days of the year, over 90 degrees. All of us being family members who had come up for the day to cool off. Nice 3 hour float with sightings of Bald Eagles fishing for lunch and deer munching on riverside grass.
That was Saturday.
Sunday brought the annual Cheese Festival to the nearby town of Toledo (pop. 530) complete with sizable car show, parade, craft show, and book sale at the library. Very pleasant morning.
The local townsfolk take the opportunity to hold an area wide yard sale. so we cruised up and down each street and stopped at every yard sale and picked up some good stuff.
Then we pulled up to a house that had signs out that said "everything free". We mulled this over, as could there be anything worthwhile to look at?
As it turned out there was. I found an Everly Brothers CD that I have been pining for and E2 found a beautiful Vince Camuto leather handbag that was brand new. When we got home she she looked it up on Poshmark and it was on sale for $110, marked down from $770.
Score!
The thing is, she picked it up thinking it would work as a cheap beach bag. Now I don't think it will ever leave the house. Beautiful bag though.
So when we got home is when I had discovered that Trump issued his ultimatum to Russia to "make a deal" with Ukraine in 50 days or else.
Everybody knows the "deal" isn't going to be with Ukraine, it's going to be with Trump. He has to prove he is some kind of dealmaster, but he doesn't realize this isn't a real estate sale. It's a war. And Russia is winning on the battleground. Trump is demanding a surrender.
He is bloviating. The fall will be devastating to his ego.
Meanwhile, TPTB are beginning to panic over losing the plunder of Russian wealth and the unstoppable growth of the BRIC+ organization. And the Belt and Road map. And the Polar Maritime Silk Road, of which the entire western world is terribly un-prepared.
The U.S. Navy has been rendered obsolete.
Add to all this the growing debt of all western nations, and panic ensues.
Watch closely for a false flag event.
Thread is open.

Good morning, e1!
Sounds like you had a fun kaying and festival trip. All I can say about the hand bag is "Damn"!
Thought I would drop in this 52 minute Mearsheimer interview on Deep Dive about the latest Trump war and tariff nuttery.
Thanks for the OT!

Thanks for the Davis clip,
am watching it now.
Just went through Storm Front. The US is militarizing Moldova, opening up another can of cannon fodder.
I'm beginning to think TPTB are really trying to empty the planet of young military age males.
Thanks for stopping by.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
I haven't watched it yet,
but Davis is consistently good.
Glad I visited Moldova before it gets bombed to pieces.
The global elites seem to regard young men of military age as if they were chess pieces. Their deaths or injuries mean nothing. I often wonder if a rich and powerful person has even known love? Compassion? And do they experience joy from anything other than gaining more wealth and power?

Most Americans
are still under the delusion that the POTUS is the most powerful person in the free world.
He is not.
They are still deluded into thinking he is the actual leader of the American military.
He is not.
They think the American military is the most powerful on the planet.
It is not.
They still think America is a force for good.
It most certainly is not.
We live in a country peopled by largely deluded sheeple who believe they are something special, emulating the people of Israel.
It is eventually going to come crashing down, with much gnashing of teeth.
I don't know if I will be sad or happy.
The key event, IMHO, is exposing the western MSM as the propaganda organ that it is.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
I will be happy post-crumble.
I have friends that served during the Viet Nam war. They still believe our military is the best on the globe. That is what the MSM does to people.

Good mornng e1. Sound like fun times up there. Focused on
my chores so far today but I did see that il Dunce gave the Rus an ultimatum and also put a 17% "tarriff on Mexican fresh tomatoes in order to icrease US tomato production. I guess the idea is that a 17% price increase in tomatoes will lure US farmers into tearing out some less profitable crops and replanting tomatoes, and building hothoes or something like that. What an ass.
Too bad about Moldava. An intelligent government would just recognize Transnistra's independence and work out good trade and political relations with it, but I guess that would bar them from ever entering the EU. Ah well.
be well and have a good one
That, in its essence, is fascism--ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. -- Franklin D. Roosevelt --
If I recollect correct
the majority of Moldova's electric power come from Transnistria's USSR era power plant.
Talk about shooting one's own foot.
Good to hear from you, EL.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.

Cool kayaking flotilla
.
We are also in kayak country.
A perfect day to take a paddle on the lake.
Glad you can enjoy the summer with your
family!
Shut off the news feeds for a few days.
Switched it back on this AM as had to make
some kinda essay for mañana. Amazing how
all the noise doesn't change.
Thanks for the OT!
Zionism is a social disease
Thursday will be off
to the San Juan Islands with some of the family camping out.
While we are up there we will head up into Canada, if they will let us in.
Hope to post an OT from there next week.
Thanks for the post.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.

I am so jealous!
I haven't boarded a plane or used my passport since Dec. 2019. In fact my passport may need to be renewed, and I know my trusted traveler GOES credential is expired.
Let us know if Canadians blame us plebes, or understand it is TPTB!

You can bet
I won't be making remarks like "Just coming up to look around our new state".
Effin' Trump.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
I can't imagine how I would approach them,
other than to deflect. "I'm from Texas." I did it for 15 or so years of international travel. It worked. Very genuine, given my godforsaken accent.

My fave Everly Brothers song

Another great version of this great song ...
Have I heard this exact guitar chord pattern
in Neil young's Harvest Moon?

You're right!
