The MoA Week In Review – OT 2019-48
Last week's posts at Moon of Alabama:
The violence led to a backlash. Today was another pre-approved protest attended by less people than previous such assemblies. It ended peacefully. There were only few policeman around. A man from mainland China who passed by the protest was harassed. The black block now waits for the peaceful protesters to leave to cause trouble.
Turkey sent 'rebels' from the occupied Afrin to help the Jihadists in Khan Shaykhun. The Russian or Syrian airforce bombed some who were on their way. After repelling a counterattack the Syrian army operation continues as foreseen.
Is the war in Syria a civil war? The numbers answer that question.

#Syria / July 2019: based on #SOHR victims' statistic, 96% of #SAA + allies fighters are Syrians. For Jihadists / "opposition" fighters, foreigners are clearly the majority (60% – 40%)

 bigger – bigger – source data
The borg sayz: "There is nothing to see here. Please move on."
Other issues:
737 Max: The Wall Street Journal produced a detailed piece on how MCAS came to be:
The Four-Second Catastrophe: How Boeing Doomed the 737 MAX At the root of the company’s miscalculation was a flawed assumption that pilots could handle any malfunction
This is concerning:
In designing the flight controls for the 737 MAX, Boeing assumed that pilots trained on existing safety procedures should be able to sift through the jumble of contradictory warnings and take the proper action 100% of the time within four seconds.
That is about the amount of time that it took you to read this sentence. … Regulators endorsed that determination, along with the single sensor. The FAA certification rules under which the MAX was allowed to fly assume pilots react correctly to certain emergencies 100% of the time.
The so called 'startle time', the moment it needs to react to unexpected complex events, is usually considered to be some 30 seconds.
And this is not only racist, but criminal:
The FAA is reassessing some of its key assumptions. The agency said certification procedures are “well-established and have consistently produced safe aircraft designs,” but it is rethinking reliance on average U.S. pilot reaction times as a design benchmark for planes that are sold in parts of the world with different experience levels and training standards.
Some 80% of FAA certified Boeing planes are sold abroad. If there is difference in the reaction time of "U.S. pilots" and foreign pilots, which I very much doubt, the safer number has to be applied. Also no safety criteria should ever be based on "average pilot reaction times" because that obviously means that 50% of all pilots will fail to save their own and their passengers asses.
Use as open thread …
I posted this on another blog but believe it has much relevance here, concerning the true nature of the ‘Occupy Operation’ now being conducted by Globalists in Hong Kong, and of the position of the Chinese elite relative to their supposed enemies in the West:
Yale group spurs Mao’s emergence
http://letsrollforums.com//yale-group-spurs-maos-t31764.html?s=4b6a1c57b5efe87f30d87fb3608787ac&s=a8f0c4b670936f3e7a0d58d51b472e57&
Why did Yale and the United States government provide such critical support to Mao, and indeed abandon the Nationalists in favour of the Chinese Communist Party in the late 1940’s?
This is a matter of history you apparently know not. Chiang Kai-shek and his wife went to the graves muttering about US and British ‘betrayal’ of the Nationalists.
Why did most industrial production in the Anglosphere get relocated to Communist China after the infamous visit of Nixon to China? Why did Mao’s successor Deng Xiaoping subsequently declare it is glorious to grow rich?
This is a matter of more recent history you emphasize not. Only Nixon could go to China indeed, do you get the inside joke?
There are long standing ties between the British Empire and China going back to the Opium Wars of the early-middle 19th century. The British needed to sell opium to the Chinese but required the help of locals to do the job of street level drug dealing — and that is the origin of globalist organized crime in China and of Triads in particular. Not long after this relationship between Anglo and Chinese criminals began, Chinatowns began springing up all over the Anglo-American space, because the elite that controlled the Anglosphere, and who built their empire literally on trade in Opium, found Chinese gangsters to be most useful partners in Crime.
Globalists, by definition, have no loyalty to any country whatsoever. Their primary loyalty is to money and power and so they conduct themselves as such, rising to the top of all systems just as reliably as scum always floats to the top.
There is nuance of course. There are Nationalists in China, as there are Eurasianists in Russia. Gangster-Globalists do indeed compete on some levels, because they are greedy and unscrupulous people, after all. Globalists and criminals have never been shy about playing the Nationalist card in any case and in China the situation is more complex still, because Northern Chinese gangster-elites generally support the CPC, while southern Chinese gangster-elites harken back to long standing relationships with the Anglosphere.
What is not arguable is that Globalists, from whichever country they may originate, have more in common with each other than they do with the common people over which they preside. When it comes to deciding who will take the hit, Globalists always agree it should be the serfs who take it on the chin, meanwhile opposition to Globalization, in alt-media for example, mostly consists of not opposition but support for Globalization and Capitalism – so long as it includes so-called Chinese characteristics.
Globalists organize Colour Revolutions for multiple purposes, not just to overthrow supposedly unfriendly governments. Sometimes they run Occupy-style colour revolutions to defuse public anger on the one hand, and at the same time turn the non protesting segments of society against the protesters, thus diving a society straight down the middle. When these sorts of protest were run in Russia, they caused the people to run into the arms of the government. When they were run in the Ukraine, they set the conditions for the overthrow and replacement of the local Yanukovych regime, who despite garnering support from mainly Russian speakers in Ukraine was still Gangster and Globalist to the core.
The current protests in Hong Kong pit Northern Mandarin Chinese speakers against southern Cantonese Chinese speakers, two languages that are mutually unintelligible. There is almost no support for the protesters outside of Hong Kong and the Cantonese speaking part of China. tEven in Hong Kong protesters have long over stayed their welcome with only Black Block types still attempting to engage with Police, with most locals now tired of the disruption and fearing they may be fingered as supporters of US sponsered regime change operations.
When the protests in Hong Kong have run their course, Chinese will be no more enthusiastic about supporting any protest whatsoever, legitimate or not, just as Americans no longer supported protests after the Occupy Operation had run it’s course. Chinese, especially outside of Hong Kong, have an additional problem because with the Sesame Social Credit System already in place, merely having the wrong opinion can get you fired from your job, kicked out of your apartment and unable to board a train to get to the next jurisdiction and start a new life. Most people who are socially excluded in this way will end up killing themselves or emigrating to the West, which is again useful to Globalists wherever they may be.
If people cannot protest against their elites for legitimate reasons, or address genuine grievances, then we will have allowed a hitherto unimaginable kind of fascism to take root and we will have no ability to oppose it when the gangsters predictably begin going to far.
