Of course I have to wait until they accept my return and bill me. I think I’ll just pay the state the 21 bucks I owe them.

NATO Planning ‘Military Schengen’ – Report
Plans are underway to create a network of “military corridors” across Europe in an effort to bypass complex regulations which currently restrict the exchange of equipment and personnel between NATO nations, The Times reported on Sunday.
In November, NATO’s European logistics chief Lieutenant-General Alexander Sollfrank urged countries in the region to establish zones to allow for the rapid movement of troops and ammunition in the event of a major conflict with Russia.
The idea has been floated by military leaders for years, The Times noted, saying talks on creating the corridors “are now underway” and the results could be announced before NATO’s next summit in July.
The “byzantine tangle of regulations restricting the exchange and transport of military equipment” in the EU has created a “significant headache” for NATO planners, the outlet said.
Cross-border exercises frequently involve dizzying quantities of paperwork that would cost critical time in a military crisis,” it added.
In an interview with The Times, Sollfrank said the US-led military bloc members must begin without delay, making efforts to “reduce or adapt the red tape” wherever possible.
”Everyone can start. Just do it. And don’t wait. Because in the end we have no time to waste,” he warned.
The logistics chief pointed to the example of paratroopers being prohibited from using parachutes belonging to other member states, even when there is no reason for such a restriction.
“Where’s the problem, for example, with a paratrooper from a European nation A using a parachute from a neighboring nation B after having been trained on this system, or attaching equipment from one nation to the helicopter of another nation?” he asked. If there are no “technical or security” issues involved, there should be no impediments, he said.
However, Lieutenant General Jan-Willem Maas, the chief of Defense Support Command for the Dutch armed forces, told The Times that there was still plenty of preparation needed. “We are not where we should be. That’s clear,” he said.
In recent weeks, senior officials in several European nations have been urging their citizens to prepare for a potential military confrontation with Russia.
Moscow, however, has repeatedly insisted that it has no interest in waging war against NATO, with Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissing the warnings as “nonsense,” saying Moscow has “no interest” in attacking any bloc members.
@ coldwarrior:
Just ask cold warrior about the annual NATO exercises across Western Europe’s countryside. There is a long term SCAM in operation, where Western European plant ‘sacrificial crops in the way of next year’s annual NATO exercises. Tanks and assorted trucks and logistics vehicle traffic then crush these sacrificial crops and farmers claim ‘fanatical’ subsidies for the planned destruction. This game playing even has rules for crying out aloud and it’s been in play for the past 70 years.
This suggested ‘military version’ of the Schengen Charter is just more of the same UNLESS some wild eyed 3 star NATO ‘womble’, based in Belgium NATO HQ, has ‘Dr Strangelove’ delusions and is actually planning to launch an actual NATO attack on Russia or Eastern Ukraine. Obvious there are delusional middle ranking NATO General staffers, who have not assimilated the facts that Russian Defence Policy has NO specific divide between Tactical / Operational warfare and TacNuke release protocols!
Strategic nuclear release is a different ‘kettle of fish’ and the Russian Strategic nuclear release mirrors Wretern Nuclear Release Policy. NOT SO with Russia’s Operational war fighting policy. Russian TacNukes are seamlessly blended into the continuum of Operational war fighting. It’s not a National Secret for crying out aloud and has been openly published for the past 50 years!
This is like some NATO 3 Star playing with matches in a powder store!
Sheesh!

JOHANNESBURG, Jan 31 (Reuters) – Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have confirmed they are joining the BRICS bloc after being invited last year, South Africa’s Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor said on Wednesday.
The five countries were extended invitations along with Argentina at a summit in August in Johannesburg to join the bloc comprising Brazil, Russia, China, India and South Africa. Members say the move would help reshuffle a world order they view as outdated.

People familiar with the story coming out tomorrow keep texting me, asking me about fear. I’ve taken the time to write a careful response.
At 39, I’ve lived a good life. Whether it’s complete or not is not up to me. What happens next, I don’t know. If there’s more to come here, so be it. I’ve learned the pursuit of truth requires extreme risk while operating without a safety net. I’ve experienced so much. I’ve lived ten lives compressed into a fraction of one.
.
.
I’m not suicidal, but I’m also not afraid to die.
Now, I’m indifferent to the outcome and frankly numb to the consequences of truth-telling. I’ve adapted to faith over fear.
The mission is to discover other people whose principles are not for sale — who will do the right thing rather than talk about doing the right thing. I’m tired of seeing 10s of thousands of people sliding into my DMs complaining to my team about how bad things are… and then they make excuses or do nothing.
I’m tired, Boss.
So here I stand; I can do no other. As has been said, “If they’re gonna kill me, they’re going to kill me.” Let’s do this. Let’s get 2024 started. Let’s inspire others to be brave. Let’s raise the stakes. Let’s expose them all!
In Truth,
James

Thanks for the vid mate. You will note that with the number of ‘bad-arsed B-1s’ involved each aircraft managed to kill on average about 2 1/2 each for a 22 hour operation involving 6x B1s and an unknown number of tankers and protection. THAT is a very poor use of a shitload of airframes.
Given the 6 days ‘farting about time’, dithering days, and the warning out of Iranians, to ensure that no high value Iranian leadership was involved, the whole exercise was basically a waste of Jet-A-1. Bombing empty warehouses is becoming a bit of a bad habit for the USAF. Just making a point that Biden is a wee bit upset but waaaay below a serious action to make some Iranian cry over lost General Offices.
Yawn!
Just another ‘smoke and mirror exercise’ put on the compliant lap-dog’ media. The Iranian Republican Guard General Officers know who’s ‘the man’ and it certainly NOT the USAF who is tip toeing about playing Wack-a-Mole with outsourced Iranian allies. Leaving Reserves spread all over the Middle East without significant anti-air is a ‘sin’. The US Defence Department know it, the Iranians know it and Biden remains both delusional and uncaring about exposing his troops.

THAT is the only response to Iranians. After all the West is only satisfying the Shi’a requirement of being martyred so that the Twelfth Imman can unmask and begin the Muslim Apocalypse. Iranian fissile enrichment is now over 60 % and just a single step away from an operational nuke. Why is the world playing nice with the Iranians? There has got to be a covert plan that answers the big question buried in there somewhere.

I remember when I was researching houses in the knoxville area and I found one that simply did not meet our reqs but I fell in love with it and I couldn’t figure out why.
Then I realized – it reminded me of all the houses I had grown up around/with in Pittsburgh. The coziness, stained glass windows, dark trim, deep porches (cuz who wants to shovel snow), the fireplaces.
That was the one non-negotiable point I insisted on when we moved here. Gas fireplace. Oh, and a large yard that was already fenced in or could be fenced in.

Diana had serious problems, no one could have dealt with her as a sane person. Because she wasn’t.
And she stepped out with James Hewitt far before he and Camilla hooked up. As for Camilla’s husband at the time, he cheated on his marriage the entire time. He was famous for it. BEFORE he married Camilla, he dated Princess Anne.

I never dived with it even though it was supposed to be rated at 60 feet. Deepest I dived was in excess of 100 feet retrieving #1 son as he sank away into the depths whilst intent on sorting his Buoyancy compensator problem. He was on his first proper qualified dive, after completing his 1 Star PADI qualifying dives regime.
We had a double emergency, what are the odds! His BC malfunction and he was attempting to blow it up manually and didn’t realise that he was sinking into 250 feet of water. I grabbed him passing 110 feet and then my high pressure line fractured dumping ALL of my air over board. He kept his head and we buddy breathed and swam towards the surface, hung on an anchor chain for a while to ensure that we weren’t going to be ‘bent’ and surfaced. We chatted about the odds of something like that happening , borrowed two sets and did another dive to 60 feet. Assuming that if one falls off a horse it’s wise to climb back onto a ‘horse’s soon as possible.

I believe that your time line has a few flaws. Chuckles and Camilla were an item way before Diana came onto the scene. You’re correct regarding Camilla’s Brigadier husband who was a rake. Still Camilla cast her web for Chuckles whilst the crown was casting about for a known virgin! Yup! Not an easy thing to do in the UK at the time! The media destroyed Diana’s slim hold on reality and she was also responsible for enjoying being coy with a press who considered royals as blood sport. Chuckles was deeply ‘cunt-struck’ with Camilla well before Diana entered the scene. Royal Family and courtiers pressure arranged the marriage and in the process destroyed whatever hold Diana had on the reality, of being in the thrall of that rather toxic family.

They married because HIS father and HER father connived together to place an engagement announcement in the newspapers and they were stuck. Camilla was taken out of circulation while Charles was at sea.
Charles and Diana both brought their lovers to Highgrove -on different weekends – when the other had other places to be. The staff were told what to expect and EVERYBODY knew what was going on.
Diana’s maternal grandmother, Baroness Fermoy, and the Queen Mother, her great friend, offered up Diana on a plate. Baroness Fermoy was a conniving bitch. Her daughter, Diana’s mother, filed for divorce against Diana’s father because he beat her (a behavior that goes back thru several generations of Spencer men). Also, she wanted to marry someone she had just met from Australia. Diana’s father fought for custody and Baroness Fermoy sided with Earl Spencer instead of own daughter. Why? Because she knew her daughter would take the children to Australia and they would no longer be royal-adjacent.
And people wonder why Diana expected to be betrayed. She was a lamb to the slaughter

BREAKING: After RedState’s Reporting Rocked RNC Winter Meeting, Ronna McDaniel Is Stepping Down
The chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, Ronna McDaniel, has told former President Donald J. Trump she is planning to step down shortly after the South Carolina primary on Feb. 24, according to two people familiar with the plans.
Mr. Trump is then likely to promote the chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party, Michael Whatley, as her replacement, according to several people familiar with the discussions. Under the arcana of the committee’s rules, however, Mr. Trump cannot simply install someone, and a new election must take place.
Mr. Trump likes Mr. Whatley for one overwhelming reason, according to people who have discussed him with the former president: He is “a stop the steal guy,” as one of the people described him. He endorses Mr. Trump’s false claims about mass voter fraud and Mr. Trump believes he did a good job delivering North Carolina, a 2020 swing state, to him.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) recently announced that, along with Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation, it will establish a GovTech Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR) in Ukraine to advance the nation’s role as the esteemed leader in the digitization of the global economy. That’s no small announcement. The WEF press release, dated January 18, 2024, praised Ukraine, remarking that—thanks to its U.S.-funded Diia app allowing Ukrainians to “access essential documents and government services”—it is the first country in the world to have a digital ID system that can be used nationwide.
Overlapping with the WEF news, USAID—the U.S. agency behind the implementation of Diia—declared that it intends to provide at least $650,000 to collaborate with Ukraine to bring its digital triumph to other “partner countries” who seek to accelerate their own digital transformation. Indeed, USAID’s funding in Ukraine is extensive—it provided funding to the Ukrainian government to develop Diia and has allocated another $8.5 million to help expand the app’s services during its war with Russia.

The inmates have truly taken over the asylum!
A shocking Zoom call recording shows Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officials discussing how to reduce the number of white males in the aviation industry while fast tracking unqualified people into key roles like pilots and air traffic controllers.
The DailyWire’s Matt Walsh obtained a Zoom call from 2022 between senior officials at the FAA’s Flight Program Operations division talking about implementing Diversity Equity and Inclusion measures in the aviation industry.
“The footage begins with FAA acting deputy chief operating officer Angela McCullough saying more workers need to go from ‘ramp to cockpit,’ meaning she wants to see more baggage handlers become airline pilots,” Walsh noted on X.
McCullough then complains that Flight Operations is “white-male dominated” and tells the managers they need to “talk about what the future could look like.”
FAA’s Vice President of Flight Program Operations David Riggins responds, “That’s great, honestly. Those are some words that we really need to spend some time digging through and thinking about.”
Walsh added that in addition to receiving the video call footage, he also has been hearing from insiders and whistleblowers in the aviation industry warning that DEI is taking precedence over the industry’s once-stellar culture of safety.
For example, Walsh claimed a Delta pilot told him that the airline promoted a “trans-identifying pilot who repeatedly received bad reviews from captains.”
“According to the source, this pilot ‘would likely not have’ survived probation if he weren’t trans,” Walsh noted, adding the airline catering to “trans” employees has become standard practice.
But the DEI insanity extends far beyond the pilots.
According to Walsh, an “industry-wide embrace of overt mental illness afflicts every aspect of aviation.”
This comes after the FAA announced a diversity push that would include focusing on hiring people with “severe intellectual” and “psychiatric” disabilities.

@ Aussie Infidel:
This is a natural extension of the idea that there is no objective truth or reality, just “your truth.”
If “your truth” is that you’re a woman, despite clearly being male, then you just are one. If you’re a one-armed, color blind midget who believes that he/she/it can be an airline pilot, great. Anyone who says otherwise is a “hater” and must be shunned.
Sure, a lot of people will probably die, but that’s a small price to pay for the sake of diversity.

Marmite is a yeast extract. It has its uses. This is not one of them. Vomit.
Vehicular batteries are explodin’
And when they don’t, they take too long loadin’
The cars don’t go as fast or far as those you once rode in
That’s why nobody’s buying ‘em despite the government’s goadin’
It’s what they call lettin’ your wallet do the votin’
And you tell me, over and over and over again, my friend
You don’t believe we’re on the EV of destruction?

Tucker Carlson’s interview with Putin:
Is Joe Biden “above the law,” or merely beneath contempt?
Biden just said “since I was a senator in 1970”
He wasn’t a senator until 1972

CLIMATE SCIENTIST MICHAEL MANN WINS HIS LAWSUIT, with $1 in compensatory damages from Rand Simberg and Mark Steyn. However, the jury awarded $1000 punitive damages against Simberg, and $1 million against Steyn. D.C. Jury. People on the right need to come up with a similarly reflexively sympathetic jurisdiction.
Rand’s thoughts: “I am pleased that the jury found in my favor on half of the statements at issue in this case, including finding my statement that Professor Mann engaged in data manipulation was not defamation. In over a decade of litigation, the sanctions levied against Professor Mann dwarf the judgment against me.”

Beyond our wildest dreams’: 2.34 BILLION metric tons of rare earth minerals discovered in Wyoming that could make US ‘world leader’
America is poised to become the leading producer of rare earth minerals
Rare earth minerals are crucial for smartphones, hybrid cars and military tech

Processing the ore is a very dirty job and most First World countries outsource the processing from ores to metal as far away from their domestic population as possible. Oz has a shitload of Rare Earths, not on the Chinese scale but still a shitload, until recently outsourced the processing to Malaysia! The Aussies have bought ore bodies in the US SW and SE and plan to process the ores in situ for the US market!

@ Aussie Infidel:
Same for uranium mining. The US has huge uranium ore deposits. A large part of the economy in New Mexico used to be based on uranium mining. It’s pretty much all shut down today, though. We buy most of our uranium from overseas now, instead of mining our own.

There is a LOT of processing tech being developed at the University of Queensland Aussie’s major mining engineering centre also with the Uni of NSW in Sydney. Oz has global levels of three of the BIG four rare earths as well as a slew of the remaining dozen minor rare earths. My brother did a 4 year Mining engineering degree plus Engineering Technology at UNSW and a double Masters at U Queensland. Loved hard rock mining but ended up running 3 heavily automated coal mines. Long Wall mining was his speciality. Did a doctorate in explosives tech and explosive damage mitigation in mines. Lectured and ran the research mine at U Qld. Aussie Rare Earths have only scratched the surface in Oz so far and they are I believe #4 in the world in Rare Earths production. If they can clean up their processing tech, Oz will supply the world in REs and tell China to take a hike!
🙂
You guys tell me. Is the tech for auto windshields available or no? Was running errands yesterday and that damn winter sun was just deadly. And not just me, it brought westbound traffic on the main drag to an almost complete halt. Even with polarized sunglasses.
Can they not produce windshields that filter that sunlight?

This is wild. Fani Willis allegedly gave access to Michael Isikoff (yes, *that* Michael Isikoff, the Russiagate hoaxer) of all things to do with her Trump investigation, including “exclusive access to thousands of secret documents, emails, text messages, and audio recordings”.

@ eaglesoars:
Did you see where Isikoff has a book coming out later this month?
Hmm…looks like it’s actually already out
I guess they rushed it out when the issues surrounding the book’s “hero” started to come out

No I did not. He is not someone I pay any attention to.
