Pattern of #Brain Damage Is Pervasive in #Navy #SEALs Who Died by #Suicide

source: https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/pattern-of-brain-damage-is-pervasive-in-navy-seals-who-died-by-suicide/

The vast majority of blast exposure for Navy SEALs comes from firing their own #weapons, not from #enemy action. The damage pattern suggested that years of training intended to make SEALs exceptional was leaving some barely able to function.

...

At least a dozen Navy SEALs have died by suicide in the past 10 years, either while in the #military or shortly after leaving. A grassroots effort by grieving families delivered eight of their brains to the lab, an investigation by The New York Times has found. And after careful analysis, researchers discovered blast damage in every single one.

Is this the last summer of relative peace?
enter image description here
The satanic cabal known as "politicians" that roost over the populations of the West have discovered the joys of war-talk, and they can't start World War Three fast enough. But why this sudden push? Even leaders of countries that are mere specks of dirt on the map (Estonia, for instance) squeak about "bringing Russia to its knees." Sure, Western politicians are lapdogs of Washington, but why this naïve war-talk? Is it just deep duncery (usual for the Western politician), or is something more sinister afoot?

We use the term "satanic" purposefully. We have long known that the Western powermongers are neo-Malthusians — that is, they all believe that the planet has too many people and we need to do something to bring the population down. The less people living on the planet is better. This is the guiding principle behind every aspect of modern life, so that every political, social, and even cultural decision is guided by this principle. Culling humanity is the grand, moral goal — the postmodern utopia, where we only have as many people as we need. The "we," by the way, are the powermongers. What's the point of having millions of useless eaters, they reason? Culling the herd is good management of nature (the planet): Woke husbandry pushed to its ultimate limit. Such overarching evil can only be satanic.

And then along comes this war in Ukraine. Here is a country that is not part of the EU, nor a member of NATO, but all the Western politicians latched on to it, because it was "existential" somehow for each of them. For places like Canada, the UK, New Zealand to be truly safe, Ukraine must win. If it loses, well, it's slavery and the dull road to the Gulag, for the whole world. It's absurd really that we are ruled by such morons who spew endless lies which are sadly believed, and therefore the general populace keeps electing them dutifully (but let's not digress).

The entire war in Ukraine, for the West, was a round-robin of wonder weapons that were going to "bring Russia to its knees" — so many that it's now hard to keep track... there were HIMARS, Leopards, Abrams, Patriots, Bradleys, and let's not forget the much-bruited 61 billion that was going to be the bee's knees of military might which was going to undo Russia lickety-split; and of course the much-awaited F-16s. To be charitable, let's not forget the various armchair journo-strategists who have been meaningfully employed for the past two years; anyone that can put two (or less) words together has advice to offer on to conduct the war. It's tiresome to even parse the endless strategies spun out. Are these people being paid by the word, one might begin to wonder? (By the way, you can easily spot these experts — they love to use the term, "geopolitics").

The current buzz, the new wonder weapon is the great theater of "allowing" Ukraine to use NATO supplied weapons to strike deep inside Russia. The propagandists tell us that thus far poor Ukraine has been fighting with one hand tied behind its back. If it had both hands free, Russia would be... well, on its knees. How stupid do these politicians think we really are? Or, perhaps the question is better another way — how stupid do we think these politicians really are? When did Ukraine ever set up a network of satellites in space that guide and program each and every missile and drone launched every day against Russia? When did Ukraine train such expert cryptographers who can handle the guidance systems and then identify Russian targets to be struck — last we heard, said Ukrainians were hard put trying to learn enough English to somehow get an F16 up into air and keep it there — thus far that has been mission impossible.

The short answer to all these questions is — Washington. Ukraine would not be able to fight its way out of a paper bag if it weren't for the Americans and their various lackeys, like the Brits, the Germans and the French. There's really no point mentioning Italy, Poland, and all those others that fall under the rubric of "etc."

Shocking as it may seem to the various journo-generals, it is Washington that has a massive network of sophisticated military satellites which alone can manage the war that is being currently fought in Ukraine — and it is a huge credit to the Russians who are fighting this mighty American capability to a standstill. Despite the highly sophisticated lethal gadgetry, Washington is losing the war, and on an epic scale. What does that tell us about "allowing" Ukraine anything? The private citizen that is now the martial law coordinator of Ukraine (since he declared that having elections during a "war" is pointless) is Washington's bobblehead (but that's hardly news).

So, all this talk about the moral hemming and hawing of "allowing" Ukraine to strike inside Russia, of untying that one hand, and allowing Ukraine to fight more freely, is simply flapdoodle ("twaddle" works well here as, so feel free to substitute). But it does give employment to the faceless many among the bureaucrat types who would otherwise be unemployed.

And because Washington is losing badly, it wants to let all of us know that it is now going to hit Russia — and we should look after our affairs as best we can because when Russia responds, we are all collateral damage (and that will include the many journo war experts) — only the powermongers with good underground bunkers will survive.

In other words, all this war-talk about "allowing" Ukraine to hit Russia is a message to all of us — a major war is on its way; call it World War Three, if you like, though that term is meaningless, since most of the world will not be lifting the proverbial finger to "protect" Washington and its lickspittles, its tufthunters, commonly known as "politicians" in the West. Washington has decided that it wants a greater war with Russia, which it will lose, just like it lost so many others. (What's the thinnest book ever written? Wars Won by America after WWII).

America has declared war.

Why does the entire Western #political class want a larger #war? Well, can you think of an easier way to cull the herd? The clot-shot didn't work so well with the Covid business in thinning out humanity... but a nuclear bomb — well, that's quite a handy thing to have lying around to get that job done. This is why no one who is sensible can make any sense of why "we" fight on in Ukraine.

This next war is not going to be about power, resources, or real estate. It's going to be a grand neo-Malthusian project, in which the real enemy is all of us who need to be taken out, so the planet can be rid of all the useless eaters. This is the real point of all the war-talk by out #useless #politicians. We are the #real #enemy.

In other words, the West has reached the final phase of its Woke logic — it is now eager to kill off the majority of its population. We are being frog-marched into annihilation.

So, who is my enemy?

War for profiting

It is important to know who are those who like to win.

According to the Monitor, “Ukraine has become a giant testing ground for #drones from all over the world – the United States, #Germany, #Poland, and other partner countries. Countless new companies are taking shape around the technology; teams of engineers are tinkering on prototypes, trying to clear the Ministry of Defense and NATO checklists of technical requirements, hoping to nail a military contract…Oleksandr Yakovenko, CEO of TAF Drones [said] the company already has four factories spread out across #Ukraine – despite suffering a sabotage attack that destroyed equipment worth $300,000 in July. The bulk of its supplies (90%) come from #China or #Taiwan. The remainder comes from suppliers in #Europe and the #US. ‘We have to create products that are cheaper than the targets,’ he says. ‘Otherwise, we will not win because our #enemy has more resources than our country.’ ”

#UK government records for a parallel-named Piranha Tech company, operating in the Liverpool area on “computer related activities” and “information technology consultancy activities”, indicate the possibility that the #Israel'is and their Ukrainian partners were considering a British company front during their start-up.

How #Israel helped create #Hamas

source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2014/07/30/how-israel-helped-create-hamas/

The Israelis saw Qutb's adherents in the Palestinian territories, including the wheelchair-bound Sheik Ahmed #Yassin, as a useful counterweight to #Arafat's #PLO.

...

Yassin's Mujama would become Hamas, which, it can be argued, was Israel's #Taliban: an #Islamist group whose antecedents had been laid down by the West in a #battle against a leftist #enemy.

What is #Hamas' #strategy and is #suicide a strategy at all?

For those who know little about the #MiddleEastConflict, Hamas' strategy seems very irrational. Sure, they have caused a lot of deaths on both sides, spread #fear and #terror, but they cannot win and now bear the #consequence of the #destruction of the #Gaza Strip.

What we have to keep in mind is that the #peace process (if it would be successful) would make Hamas obsolete. #Israel has recently moved diplomatically closer to Saudi Arabia. This does not please #Iran, which in no way wants its #enemy #SaudiArabia to be strengthened by peace with Israel. Iran, in the other hand, is Hamas's suspected main weapons supplier. Therefore, the American aircraft carrier at the coast of Israel makes sense. This is a sign to Iran, because the aircraft carrier is useless for the pacification of Gaza.

The question remains why the Israeli ground forces have not yet stepped forward and why the aircraft carrier is useless? Gaza has multiple levels of tunnels underground, and these tunnels contain command centers, weapons, and supplies. A battle in these tunnel systems would be very costly for the Israeli army. With airplanes and bombs you can bomb the Gaza Strip (which only hits the civilians) but not the tunnel system.

Which brings us back to the Hamas strategy:
1) Preventing the #peace process.
2) Spreading terror and fear in Israel.
3) Provoking the Israeli army to cause a lot of collateral damage in order to discredit it in the world press.
4) Activating sympathizers worldwide for the supposed Palestine cause.
5) Helping states like Iran and #Russia destabilize Western democracies.

Gaza bombed

Sy Hersh can literally be labelled the most prominent #investigative #journalist of the past fifty years.

He won a Pulitzer Prize back when they were still only awarded based on accuracy and credibility. He literally exposed horrific incidents in both the Vietnam war and the second Iraq war. His findings were irrefutable.

Now suddenly Western Mainstream Media wants to act like he is a nobody whose journalism doesn't warrant coverage.

Western #Mainstream #Media only wants to feed us Propaganda and Narrative Control. They truly are 'The #Enemy #of the #People.'

Details of '120,000 Russian soldiers' leaked by Ukrainian #media

source: https://www.theregister.com/2022/03/02/russian_soldier_leaks/

#Rumors swirled on the internet that activists were behind the disclosure. The Ukrainian news agency said the personnel records were obtained from "reliable sources." Whether or not the #database's contents is real, the impact on Russian military #morale – knowing that your country's enemies have your personal details and can contact your family if you're captured, killed, or even still alive – won't be insignificant.

7/ Takeaway: early in a #conflict w/disrupted internet, #satellite internet feels like a savior.

But it quickly introduces very real, deadly new vulnerabilities

If you don't understand them, people die needlessly until they learn & adapt.

This has happened again. And again.

Know Your Enemy: How to Defeat Capitalism

by #MichaelALebowitz

We must put an end to #capitalism. To do that, we must know the #enemy#capital. We will never defeat that enemy if we do not understand it – its effects, its strengths and weaknesses. If, for example, we don’t know capital as our enemy, then crises within capitalism due to overaccumulation of capital or the destruction of the #environment will be viewed as crises of the “economy” or of industrialization – calling for us all to sacrifice.

Indeed, so long as #workers do not see capital as their own product and continue instead to think of the need for healthy capitalists as common sense (and as in their own interest), they will hold back from actions that place capital in crisis. Even if we are successful in struggling to gain control of the state, even if we manage to take government away from capital, we’ll continue to think of capital as necessary if we don’t understand it.

Something important happens when you struggle along with others. You win sometimes, and you learn the importance of #uniting. But it’s not only that your prospect for victory improves. Also, you change. You begin the process of shedding those sides of yourself that capital has produced. You are changing your social relations: in place of separation, there is #solidarity. You know yourself as part of a #community and you come to recognize others as part of that community too. You change in another way in the process. You develop new capacities. It’s what #Marx called “ #revolutionary-practice” – the simultaneous changing of circumstances and human activity or #self-change.
