NATO exercise Red Storm Bravo is set to kick off tomorrow in Hamburg. „Our choppers are especially loud“ say politicos. They will pretend to guard convoys through town at night. Other Bundeswehr units are training to subdue protesting locals. Meanwhile the (wellfare benefit) jobcenters are practicing to connect their „customers“ to the war economy; for now testing postal infrastructure – I presume they plan to go full Ukrainian shopping mall with that.

Anyone still interested in what happened at UVU there is a vid of a gun guy breaking down his rile with scope and putting it in a large back pack and reassembling it. Worth watching because it shows how much time is taken to perform the task. The back pack used is larger than the one worn by Tyler Robinson and is inadequate to hide the weapon

The vid is on Musk X and the account name is Twinnymctwins

I watched it on Scott Creighton’s site, American Everyman where it is included in his Tuesday update.

Peter AU1 @8:

When dealing with people mired in delusion, sometimes it is best to just feed their delusion with a slight twist if that gets them to do as you want. Humoring crazy people and working within their craziness can be more productive than trying to explain to them how their craziness is wrong. For example, for someone who imagines himself to be Napoleon you can pretend to be one of his generals giving him a battlefield update and slip in the suggestion that he brush his teeth and get ready for bed between various details.

Is Trump really always changing his mind, or is he feeding different groups’ differing delusions?

I always remember an early interview of Trump. The interviewer asked him about the glitter and bling of Trump tower. I forget his exact words – but he was luring in the young Italian men with a red car and a beautiful woman as they had money. It was their money he wanted. No doubt the fools forked out their cash.

Per the nytimes when editorializing about the narco-terrorists blown out of the waters off Venezuela: “The United States, created in opposition to monarchy, should never become a country where the president can order the unilateral killing of people merely because he has deemed them to be criminals.”

Erm, nytimes, what about the precedent Obama set w/ drone assassinations-?
Death From Above, one each week specially approved by Obama.

Nota Bene: the U.S. military had deemed it permissible to take up to 20 civilian lives as collateral damage w/ each drone assassination.

Obama was not a king, of course, just a King For A Day, every Tuesday.

Yes, Trump understands marketing. As president he is handicapped by the fact that everyone hears all of his marketing spiels, regardless of who they are intended for. He cannot narrowly target demographics. It is entertaining to see the freak-out when people misunderstand the messaging intended for other audiences, though.

Will Moon 7 & too scents 24,

Excellent & >>> positive <<< contribution for discussion. Thank you. This is not a rifle I am familiar with but, I too do not believe the rifle-break-down-story as it is being told.

To disassemble it prior risks an errant shot and since the bullet struck just off the vertebrae in the neck the windage was correctly sighted. Assuming the shooters aim was the center of the cranium the elevation/drop was incorrectly sighted but, that can happen when elevation of the shooter and target come into play. I would really like to see film of the shooter at the time of the shot to judge from what position he fire and if there was any support/rest for the rifle.

If the guy running on the roof is the actually shooter, it’s doubtful that he took the rifle with him and he definitely didn’t have the time to break it down. I’m speculating that, if that is indeed the shooter, any rifle used was left at the scene. And, if you are trying to conceal a weapon, why would you reassemble it to make it plainly obvious? That applies to where it was “concealed” and harder to conceal during recovery. I don’t know where the truth lies but, the story, in it’s current form, appears false. I guess will just have to wait for a modern-day Jack Ruby to tie up the loose ends before dying of some strange brain cancer…huh?

There are different aspects. Wanting detente with Russia is real and I think that is good.
Gaza, Iran, Venezuela are also real and I think that is bad.

Trump has declared war on the woke. Have talked to my sister a lot and the woke are nuts. I drink booze and she reckons that’s bad, but the fantasy world she lives in…. not even booze takes me there.

Trump lives within US old school, but well schooled in American exceptionalism. Watching the western world imploding is interesting. When I thought I had a family I worried about it a bit. Now I just imagine its a good British comedy of the eighties. Euro fags like turds dressed in green t shirts, the American hustler.

A ‘Carry On’ name would be good for this comedy. Not sure what to call it though. Perhaps ‘Carry On up the Empire’? Trump could play the part of Sid James.

Peter AU1 @31: “There are different aspects. Wanting detente with Russia is real and I think that is good. Gaza, Iran, Venezuela are also real and I think that is bad.”

True and true. But Trump wasn’t elected to end the Empire but rather to salvage it. That’s why I couldn’t vote for him. What do people expect from a US president? To dissolve the United States or something? Trump never even remotely had that intention, so it doesn’t make sense when people are disappointed that he doesn’t pursue it.

The Empire needs resources, markets, cash flow. The US president’s job is to make sure the Empire gets what it needs. The only reason Trump opposed the war in the Ukraine was because he understood that the Empire couldn’t win without inviting Armageddon to the chat. For me, stepping back from that precipice is still a positive even when it comes with lots of negatives.

If people want a communist revolutionary who intends to overturn the world order, then that is what they have to fight for.

I’m still available for that job, in case anyone is interested.

I’m 100% certain that Kirk was killed by a pistol bullet i.e. a small projectile from a small cartridge.

As stated on the old site, I suspect a remotely controlled (with camera) small gun from a short distance synchronized with a faked rifle sound from the roof.

They tore everything down immediately to remove the evidence.

Posted by: Norwegian | Sep 24 2025 17:52 utc | 34

The only thing to be 100% certain of is that our government is lying to us.

A handgun-type shot seems too inaccurate to risk. I like the idea of the “potted plant” sniper guy from CK’s upper right, with exit wound front left neck. But what kind of tech does USrael have – who knows? And tearing everything down and re-pouring concrete right away is very fishy – a la scrubbing the roof right away at the Butler “assassination attempt”.

Who the hell knows? Since that’s a valid question, the answer is clear: disband the USA. It’s guilty of so many death-penalty offenses.

My comment at yesterday’s open thread, regarding the disturbing trend of netizens in China supporting Japanese PM candidate Sanae Takaichi, was the 100th one in the thread. The lack of feedback suggested to me that either no-one here had anything to respond with, or its placement at dead last in the page caused it to be obscured. Now the OT it was in is inaccessible, and by the time it comes back it would have already been closed.
Anyway, and since this is a non-UA, non-Palestine Open Thread, I can paraphrase the comment, to the best of my memory, upon request. Not that I’d be surprised if nobody did.

And with the imminent closure of TypePad, I wonder if anyone else remembers David’s Medienkritik.
It would complain about what the owner perceived to be anti-Americanism in the German mainstream media, starting at the onset of the Iraq War when Schröder was chancellor.
David apparently has a chip on his shoulder regarding Vladimir Putin(‘s Russia). Having learned from the likes of The American Conservative and Russia Insider that Russia was a target of Anglo-American warfare and not the aggressor David made it out to be, I stopped buying into what David had to say and moved on. The last time I was there was today, just to check and see the newest post – dated January 2025.
With more light being shone toward the abuses of US hegemony, I doubt a lot of people will miss Medienkritik once TypePad shuts down.

@40 joey_n

Seems like another fake nationalist, a la Meloni in Italy.

Bottom line: you can spout all the nationalist rhetoric you want, but until you scrape the empire off your boot and move on, it will cling to you.

Meloni in Italy is crypto-elite, full-stop. A country in Europe, right now, under control of TPTB can not buck the trend of forced migration and population transfer and the erasing of heritage/history.

What would happen would be the immediate apparent good outcome of ridding oneself of the parasite of unfettered migration and from this, all kinds of other nationalist questions would recoil from this: do we need the EU? Do we need America? Look at all the trouble we were put through, us common people, just because the elite wanted to scramble the cultural fabric.

In Japan it is the same thing: whe appears to be a fake nationalist and is riding the tide of anti-immigration sentiment but will no doubt do nothing to undo the dreadful repopulation problem Japan is up against.

First things first: as it stands, don’t trust the U.S.

I think this is where I need to elaborate on the crux of yesterday’s comment so there’s no misunderstanding.
Takaichi’s rhetoric involves militarizing Japan, increasing its involvement in Taiwan (more or less a complete U-turn from Shigeru Ishiba’s). Said Chinese netizens are supporting her on those grounds, hoping she would make good on her threats and give China the perfect excuse to take revenge on Japan should war break out between the two.
Then my comment asked whether this was some fringe minority in China, what Mao Zedong would’ve thought and (for anyone Japanese politics-aware) how her rival Junichiro Koizumi is doing in the polls.

Italy’s Rage for Gaza Must Spread

Why ruling classes fear us breaking the chains of “learned helplessness” more than a million peaceful marches. Such actions signal a recognition that the traditional channels of power—the votes, the petitions, the carefully worded statements—have been revealed as elaborate theater designed to channel dissent into harmless ritual. When the machinery of official politics fails so completely, people create new forms of resistance that bypass the gatekeepers entirely.

There are a number of subsonic rifle rounds. Actually considered whether that is what was used. No, the ft. lb.s of force is still quite large as the grain weight is increased, speed lowered and would have gone straight through like a supersonic rifle round, but different characteristics.

.300 blackout
8.6 blackout
6.5 Creedmore

These rounds are designed to be very quiet with a suppressor, while retaining lethality. Short range, for a rifle, though the 8.6 is good out to 400-500? yards due to a high spin rate.

The exit wound would have been massive with either sub or super sonic ammo.

Pistol caliber rifles exist and can be accurate.

I suppose an under powered 30-06 round could have been used at close range.

None of this conjecture is warranted, All of this should have been transparently disclosed 13 days ago.

The whole thing is intentionally confusing and lies to cover up whodunit.

The real power behind the throne/presidential seal remains shadowy. If their method of control devolves to assassination then they are as strong as spider webs.

Handloaders can concoct subsonic rifle bullets with ease. No sonic crack heard by bystanders.
Some handguns fire rifle ammo. e.g. Thompson Center Contender, IIRC, been a long time since I saw one. also Remington used to make an XP100 in similar calibres.
As we have no way of knowing how long ago the decoy rifle was secreted in the woods and I have discovered it takes 300 party balloons to lift a 10 pound rifle, should the fibs be looking for the guy/gal controlling the real weapon’s getaway drone?

There’s a western canard which ask nonchalantly,
‘Why cant the Chinese let bygone be bygone and move on’ ?

The problem,
‘What if there’r,

No Punishment, Little Remorse

‘Head of the Unit 731 Partly because the Americans helped cover up the biological warfare program in exchange for its data, Gen. Shiro Ishii, the head of Unit 731, was allowed to live peacefully until his death from throat cancer in 1959. Those around him in Unit 731 saw their careers flourish in the postwar period, rising to positions that included Governor of Tokyo, president of the Japan Medical Association and head of the Japan Olympic Committee.

By conventional standards, few people were more cruel than the farmer who as a Unit 731 member carved up a Chinese prisoner without anesthetic, and who also acknowledged that he had helped poison rivers and wells. Yet his main intention in agreeing to an interview seemed to be to explain that Unit 731 was not really so brutal after all.

Asked why he had not anesthetized the prisoner before dissecting him, the farmer explained: “Vivisection should be done under normal circumstances. If we’d used anesthesia, that might have affected the body organs and blood vessels that we were examining. So we couldn’t have used anesthetic.”

When the topic of children came up, the farmer offered another justification: “Of course there were experiments on children. But probably their fathers were spies.”

“There’s a possibility this could happen again,” the old man said, smiling genially. “Because in a war, you have to win.”

Japanese pirate, or woko, assaults on China lasted for centuries, with their activity peaking from the 14th to the 16th centuries

Japan officially annexed the Ryukyu Kingdom, a Chinese tribulate, establishing Okinawa Prefecture and fully incorporating the islands into Japanese territory in 1879.

Japan formally annexed the Diaoyu Islands in 1895, after the First Sino-Japanese War,

Japan annexed Taiwan in 1895 after defeating China in the First Sino-Japanese War and forcing the Qing dynasty to cede the island in the Treaty of Shimonoseki

Japan began its full-scale invasion of China in 1937

Don’t mind me george. Have cranked a few motors in my time to get them started.
My son had a bit of an ongoing saga with a lighting plant engine. His missus would have to crank it for a long time to get it started. He was talking about starter motors and stuff so one day I offered to send him a chrome plated crank handle he could give her for Christmas. He said ‘no dad, she will throw it at me’. There was a bit of fear in his voice.

I had a look at it when I went up. No wonder his misus was cranky. It had a blown head gasket.
A new head gasket and a new set of rings and it would fire with half a turn. Marriage problems fixed.

The issue raised by Kobyakov is not whether the U.S. can erase $35 trillion in liabilities through stablecoins. The more pressing question is whether the global financial system can withstand another shift in U.S. monetary rules without breaking trust in the dollar.

I believe that the answer is no because of the efforts of the China/Russia axis to move away from the jackboot of global private finance.

Nvidia engines running on censored and poorly written script called AI, the massive array of so called data banks now being built, crypto, shit on an American device hanging about in the cloud.

Currency that vaporises the moment the electricity is turned off…. the days of the dying empire.
