    Kursk 2.0 update

    Not a lot happened in the past 2 weeks.

    Around 2 weeks ago, Russia did a couple of deep penetrations into the western base of the salient. No new changes since then – except for some minor nibbling at the eastern base of the salient. Nothing substantial.

    Daily “clashes” showing at the tip of the “finger” pointing northwest towards Koronevo these past 2 weeks. Either Ukraine was continuing to attack there or they were at least consuming resources beating off Russian attempts to reduce this sub-salient. It is STILL not moving. It must be difficult for Ukraine getting reinforcements and logistics up there. Satellite imagery shows a nice big forest blob up there (far more substantial than a treeline) in Ukrainian possession, so I guess they want to hold onto that?

    Yesterday there was finally a new development – the longer sub-salient pointing almost due north has been reduced, pushed south about 5km.

    Amazing Russia took Ugledar. Been seeing reports of assaults on it for what, 2 years now? And the MOMENT it was taken, everybody switched to calling it Vuhledar which was confusing. Can you just please stick to the names on my WW2 maps so I can understand wtf is going on

    Chasov Yar – advances are being reported in terms of what street they are on. Not across the canal yet.

    Kessels everywhere, they say. The big map never seems to change.

    US Education is much the same. Higher Edu, College in the US — is expensive, paid for, gone into debt for, the aim being ‘getting in with the in crowd’ or ‘accreditation’ for this or that …. then Education becomes a Biz that sells diplomas, awards, etc.

    HR is doing this catastrophic thing to the US as a whole – the total cost is massive, almost incalculable. Just think of the cost of a useless diploma as a hurricane ruining your house and you have no insurance.

    Entry level position. Bachelor’s required, Master’s preferred. 20 years experience please. Nobody over 30 please.

    Please, for the love of god, just ONE corporation, get rid of these worse than useless HR lady clones who seek Highest Perceived Social Value.

    Instead, do aptitude tests and educate your workers for their tasks IN HOUSE. Somebody. Just TRY it. Fire your HR dept and spend your stupid HR budget on training.

    Milton is going to scatter, displace, distribute more that the piles rubble from Helene.
    The millions of people who moved out, the billions of 4 legged and many legged creatures will all be trying to get back into the regular environment which will no longer be livable.

    $5m modest houses; $300 oil…
    Sounds a tad inflationary. I wondered why that wasn’t mentioned.
    I expect to see a lot of US economic policy to make the most of inflation (anyone here seen their property taxes rise despite no improvements?). Let’s tax unrealized cap gains!

    “…worth it to get 30-50% the value out of it and be done with it.”
    And that sounds deflationary. So let’s freeze prices!

    Israel as Americas greatest ally ?

    America needs new friends and leadership- if your best friend is a narcissistic serial murderer, a chronic pathological liar and thief, commits terrorist acts against you constantly begging for moar money and weapons to continue its murder spree- maybe America just needs a lobotomy.

    74% of Americans are obese and overweight….

    Not deflationary – look at it this way:

    China got a 200w Marshall stack back in the 90’s and it was really cool back then.

    But for the past decade, it has sat in China’s living room, basically unused. It’s not good for much anymore – he and everyone else just plugs a little amp modeler into the PA for rehearsals and performances. No bandmate wants to help him load/unload that beast for gigs or practice. It’s too loud to play at home. At reasonable volumes, China’s 5w Yamaha THR does the trick for home practice. China’s wife has been referring to it as The Oppressive Monolith or The Iron Lung for years already.

    It’s becoming worth it to sell for $300-400 and get 1/3 of the value back.

    The Marshall stack is China’s dollars. China will be happy to sell the dollars to get 1/3 of the value back in gold, coal, lumber, rare earth minerals, or whatever. Only way to unload and not have it taking up space collecting dust.

    It takes three 200w Marshall stacks now to get what you used to be able to get with one. Stop printing amps, Marshall!!! (there are near infinite hypothecated Marshalls out there now in the form of amp sims and amp profiles)

    I suppose inflation of prices for things in nominal dollar value = value deflation of dollars themselves.

    TBOC Sorry mate didn’t mean to say it was a nothing burger. I’m quite sure the storm surge is going to be crazy bad. What I was alluding to is the inland infrastructure damage well away from any surge that will be blamed on a massive storm that isn’t there, as far as the wind speeds are concerned. I haven’t been to Tampa or Florida, I do however live on the Atlantic coast and have seen first hand the damage a hurricane surge can have. It’s the inland damage from a mild blow on the scale of hurricanes that is making me wonder about these wind speed predictions. Anyhow we shall see the “official” explanations for the coming disaster soon enough. Our province has sent 35 hydro repair workers to Florida in the yesterday I believe to help in the restoration effort that is coming.

    I decided to check – on a journalistic basis – what The Experts were saying about Milton

    I found that white lab-coated Weather Experts were claimed, by sources, to have said or at least implicitly thought, probably:

    “The focus of current efforts should be on equity and safety. Our studies have found that Americans are 4,275% more buoyant than peoples of other nations…”

    “…consequently, so long as one is fully boostered, the only slightly lesser priority must remain body positivity and the avoidance of fat-shaming. Especially in these times of rapidly rising ocean levels due to Global Warming and Climate Change, it is essential to regard body positivity – and the resultant Enhanced American Buoyancy Levels (EABL’s) – an integral part of our Strategic National Security Policy.

    “We can expect peer adversaries such as Russia to experience an ever-increasing Buoyancy Gap in the coming decade. The walls are closing in for Putin.”

    “For the unevacuated, you’re looking at a week of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm.”

    Blackhawk Rotor Wash Assault https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/blackhawk-rotor-wash-assault

    I don’t know how that couldn’t be true, although it’s wasteful, pointless, and will backfire. What it shows to me is these guys are so far removed from reality and consequences, they think we won’t get hold of that helicopter and throw them out of it. Someone will demonstrate otherwise. Also we know who they are. These things have to radio call to take off unless he’s in even a lot more trouble than just with us.

    Last note: that’s not a Bell 429 or EC135 copter, just some commercial jackass. It’s a Blackhawk. Comin’ for ya. Never forget.

    JB’s got it from this MoonBat guy: ALL sales have a buyer, a seller, ALL sit in accounts, and generally ALL accounts are in the system: Fed, Banks, or Brokerages, ALL of which are one team. So again: prices can’t and don’t go up and down then, right? Or it’s all rigged, because it’s been that way since the 50s? Uh…don’t think so.

    Also there’s no “Negotiations” for our upcoming reset unless you happen to feel like giving the treason and criminals something: erase ALL accounts, good and bad. Then erase ALL debts, good and bad. Everyone keeps what they have, I give each person $100, equal. So…why are we having “negotiations” again? Won’t that kinda take too long? And tell me WHY I can’t just print $100 Nouavo Dollars and hand them out? Today’s dollars have no backing or value either: what’s the dif? Europe has done this a hundred times. (Actually, Greenspan and the Fed have arranged to fill the accounts on the basis of your Social Security inflows over your life, in anticipation, now 30 years ago. That’s why there’s a hard cap: no SS above a certain income.)

    As added, that system will work fine, day one. Question is: what’s the price of gold?

    “For Profit Health Care, without any community / state / group / input, legislation, control, to stop wild profiteering, will result in financial exploitation that veers between keeping people alive – so that they continue to pay – and killing them off – because they are no longer profitable.”

    Absolutely! …Now can you tell me why that never happened for 250 years? Only started a year after the government got involved in 1992, or their previous round of rule-setting, in the 80s?

    Job hunting: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/psNEHdsDYqE
    Yup. “Can’t find people! Don’t understand!!!”

    Fire.

    Your.

    HR.

    Suddenly company will zoom, every position filled, all work getting done, top 10 workplace.

    If those weather and maps are right, the anti-weather riggers are out STOPPING the storm and dispersing it. I can mentally understand that, but socially, IF such a thing exists then HOW would you not have a crew out, pro and con, for every storm, so every storm was a battle we could see? Nobody just forgets the storm puffers are out there, lets a NC happen, then pow! Re-hires their crew and sends them back out for FL? That’s not “human” behavior. Whatever it may be, that’s not how humans act.

    America still has water service lines that use lead, can you believe that? It is well over 50 years since lead was identified as a problem. How is it possible in a country who’s MIC mislaid trillions that gives 100 bn to Ukraine has a population willing to accept lead in their municipal water supply? Sure, old buildings have this problem, but that is for the owners to fix, but in the municipal supply. Wow. Looks like yet another reason why Americans are so retarded, the effect of lead on the brains of children is well known. Lead with your American beer, yikes.

    What I am finding fascinating about this US election is the MSM talking heads are all Kamala all the time, while in real life, it is increasingly hard to find any unpaid individuals who will own up to supporting Kamala.

    The second part is that Kamala is helping with the writing of her jokes.
    Her actions and behaviors are creating more new jokes every day.
    No matter what she is told to do, she keeps digging her hole deeper!
    Even putting down her shovel doesn’t stop the hole from getting deeper!8*

    If she loses the election, it may not have anything to do with her policies or lack thereof, it will be due to the loss of personnel respect.
    Death by a thousand jokes.

    One can talk all day about the dollar, the Euro, the pound, the Yen, etc. and how different money/banking systems work.

    But when “TRUST” is finally lost, no paper/digital money/banking system will survive.

    Remember, the concept of “money” is a creation of the human mind, so it isn’t real.
    That piece of paper in your hand that you call money, is merely a symbol representing the idea of money.

    Only gold and silver can never lose their “TRUST” factor and are real.

    Dr D, that is plain bullshit, I have been involved with Cognizant over the years and their tactics are fairly standard in the USA. They recruit Indians and get them the H1 visa, they illegally pay them a fraction of what the equivalent American would be paid, they maintain this low cost manpower through the threat of removing sponsorship, then only after they have done their time are they free to move and receive a local wage. Seen it so many times, it is just standard practice, but there are many Americans willing to take those jobs, but without enforcement of the rules, the Indians become the cheaper option. And Cognizant are not the only ones, I know of silicon valley firms that do the same, first hand experience of colleagues who went through this system.

    Getting close to evening over on the east coast, last chance to see via webcam. Couldn’t find any livecams of Venice, which I am guessing is where Milton is headed. I don’t think Tampa is going to get hit as hard as expected.

    This has a couple cams on Sanibel, which is pretty exposed and closer to Milton’s path than Tampa

    This one flips between Naples and 4 different locations. You can really see how Naples, further south, is getting winds perpendicular to the shoreline.

    Nanny-state rule and banking-cartel may crash out coal plant and 4% of our electricity after Christmas

    Delta Electricity, which operates the Vales Point coal-fired power station in New South Wales, has requested an urgent rule change from the Australian Energy Market Commission after 15 banks refused to offer it credit on emissions grounds.

    On emmission grounds means ESG. Bankers rule the world, they just try to keep it hidden, but obviously this company was not willing to cave in to their ESG demands, so the company suffers and the Aussie government, instead of supporting all the businesses that the country requires, it instead sides with the bankers. Why doesn’t the government pull their banking licenses? The government is not who you think they are.

    Taxpayer Skimming Operations:

    Banks love their global warming, climate change, ESG, etc. programs because they are near riskless money laundrymats where they get to make the rules of the game while retaining the power to change the rules in the middle of the game, if they aren’t making enough money or are losing money.

    The government serves as the “rules enforcer” face, nicely hiding the banker’s fingerprints.
    Politicians love these rackets for the endless money.

    The only one not represented in all of this, are the fleeced taxpayers.

    Severe Geomagnetic Storm To Hit Earth As Hurricane Batters Florida

    by Tyler Durden
    Wednesday, Oct 09, 2024 – 03:50 PM
    NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) warned Wednseday that a super fast Earth-facing coronal mass ejection (CME) erupted from the sun at a speed of 1200 to 1300 km/s and would spark a severe (G4) geomagnetic storm on Thursday, potentially disrupting critical assets on the grid that are crucial for powering modern society.
