Sandbox – 20jun23

[Public service information – The most recent edition of modern strategy makers was just published.  The New Makers of Modern Strategy (2023, Princeton University Press) follows the second edition (1986) of collected writings on transnational strategies that was launched with its first edition in 1943.  The collected essays by history’s notables range in time from 4,000 BC to the present.  Heavy emphasis is on thoughts of 20^th century world leaders and luminaries.  The 1,100+ page tome is edited by Hal Brands and put out through the auspices of the Henry Kissinger Center for Global Affairs.  In its various editions Makers continues to be the handbook for analyzing, understanding, and formulating the strategies of empires and sovereign nation states.  The contributions from Sun-Zi through Mao Zedong are classics which bear on decisions made today on the national objectives and conduct of military, economic, trade, etc strategies.  The book reads well and its heft promotes maintenance of upper body strength for the diligent reader.  gjr]

Fresh litter!

I'd still like an answer from Crabbman.

I was at a children's theater performance where a parent and grandparents were faced with a child (age 11) trying on a brand spanking new gender identity, with no warning... gone are the days where such things were shared beforehand.

Fair warning to everyone on the strategy book. It's largely about strategists, not strategy.

The real deal is cheap and readily available. For one thing, I'd say that Alfred Mahan probably has more to do with the modern world than any other single writer besides Marx.

re: Transkids.

I wonder sometimes, given the easy comparisons to be made between 'Woke' and religions, if the transkids represent something really special in the Progressive Cosmology. Something between an angel and a crazy holy man. Mock them or try to save them at your peril as the avenging mob is easily ginned up.

I'd still like an answer from Crabbman.

Crabby... put yourself in the shoes of the parents and grandparents of a child on stage in a gender that they were not born to. The folks who love the child didn't have a clue it was coming, but the theater folk running the program DID.

Now, I know you've never been involved in a child's life as a parent or a grandparent... but just what was that 'toon trying to state?

It is intended as a destabilisation of family. More of the same as Traditional and Critical Theory, Horkheimer 1937, the document that sent the Frankfurt School down the Critical path.

Children belong with and to their parents. Not to the federal, state or local governments.

[scenes]

re: 'It is intended as a destabilisation of family.'

Making children view The State or any social movement as family is a tricky business. Making an omelette requires a certain amount of damage to eggs after all.

There's probably a book in that somewhere, whether it's the way that the Spartans or Zulus operated, selling off slave children, forced boarding schools for Native Americans, or simply a high degree of propaganda stuffed down a kid's maw ala Pavlik Morozov.

This modern variant seems rather new to me in that it is taking advantage of wide-spread mental illness (anxiety, etc.) among youth. Why? No doubt there's a bit of cyclical madness going on, but it's hard to avoid the internet, particularly the portable variety, as a prime mover. Given you are starting with an unusually fragile generation, pushing them off the cliff seems easy enough.

I can't blame the 'Progressives' for taking advantage of the situation, but then I can't blame The Devil for occasionally using good lookin' wimmen.

Newsweek is trying to be honest:
"By pleading guilty, Hunter Biden robbed the narratives around his crimes of additional oxygen, helping hurry the story into obscurity."

Into obscurity...

Ah, yes - let's push history into obscurity. That's the way we do it.
The funniest part of this is watching all the lefty black "leaders" swallowing another case of a wealthy white boy getting a slap on the wrist for what black men go to prison for. Where are the brave civil rights leaders, now?
So, it has turned out much as I predicted. A back room deal with greatly watered-down charges and plea-bargained penalties amounting to nothing and announced at just the correct time.
Perfect.
If.
The House Rs don't manage to stumble onto the money trail from overseas to the US.
Look - any half witted DA could have nailed Hunter's ass years ago just on the gun charge. He was never going to jail nor will any other Dem, save a possible predetermined scapegoat. Biden just might end up having to pardon his son.

Scott writes "Biden just might end up having to pardon his son"

You mean just like Trump pardoned Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Scooter Libby and dozens of others? He has also promised to pardon possibly hundreds of Jan 6 rioters including Proud boys etc if re-elected. I don't recall Scott, Bessee, fishhole or Gregory complaining about that. Correct me if I'm wrong showing that any of you opposed any of Trumps pardons. Trump granted 237 acts of clemency during his four years in the White House, including 143 pardons and 94 commutations.

"Obama holds the record for the largest single-day use of the clemency power, granting 330 commutations on January 19, 2017, his last full day in office.[6][7] He also issued more commutations than the past 13 presidents combined.[2][8]"

The more pardons for Jan 6 the merrier.

So Gregory you would have no problem if a group of people smashed down the doors and windows and overwhelmed police and security while breaking into your house, also being followed by hundreds of followers who would then loot your personal offices stealing personal records and information. That's exactly what happened on Jan 6 and you believe they should be pardoned,

What does you're 12:52 have to do with your desire to support pardons for the invaders of the US Capital on Jan 6? That's a very clumsy diversion by changing the topic.

So, Punchy approves of violent rioters who were trying to burn down Federal buildings not even getting arraigned. Figures.

So now the American citizens demonstrating on Jan 6 are "invaders". Really, Paul? Of the ~1000, how many were armed, and how many can be assumed to be the owners of at least one gun? Why do you think so few gun owners would show up for an invasion armed?

BTW I do not approve of the murderer of Airman Babbitt getting the same treatment. Nor do I think that any of the rioters should have preferentual treatment... but if the hard Left are not getting charged at all, the Right shouldn't, either.

[Don Bessee]

Thank God someone in leadership is acknowledging the truth -

"Based on my travels and conversations with Airmen of all ranks I have noticed a common concern regarding standards," Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force JoAnne S. Bass wrote in a memorandum to members Tuesday. "History shows that when standards erode, military capabilities and readiness decline."

The letter comes as all branches of the military have faced questions over the seemingly "woke" turn the country's armed forces have taken in recent years, with some critics arguing that prioritizing programs such as diversity, equity and inclusion over standards and training have left the country ill-equipped to win future conflicts.

The concern over falling behind rivals was apparently shared by Bass, who warned a decline in standards would leave it more difficult to "keep pace with the rapid expansion of the Chinese military, Russian aggression, and other emerging global challenges."

"In our profession, second best won't cut it," Bass said in the memorandum. "We must hold ourselves and others accountable. When any of us walk by or tolerate something below high standards, we damage our credibility."

That has been investigated Scott and it has been shown to have no substance according to the Duram investigation and others. Not one indictment. It's all fake and phony stuff.

[Scott O]

Paul - you are confused, per usual. The Durham report found there was no substance to the phony Trump/Russian collusion story that you totally bought into. Further he found there was never any reason for there to be any investigation in the first place. It was a BS story cooked up by the Dems and carried forward by the corrupt FBI who knew it was phony and lied to the FISA judge to harass Trump needlessly.
There is a report by a paid FBI informant that the Biden family got 10 million from Ukraine and funneled the money back into the US through shell S-corps.
The FBI openly lied in public claiming that such a report did not exist and then tried to withhold the document from House scrutiny.
Of course there will be no indictment.
The Justice Dept is corrupt.
Corrupt DAs don't indict themselves.
The fake and phony stuff is the lie you banged on about for years. You are the idiot dupe and you won't admit it.

Durham:

"In short, it is the Office's
assessment that the FBI discounted or willfully ignored material information that did not support
the narrative of a collusive relationship between Trump and Russia. Similarly, the FBI
Inspection Division Report says that the investigators "repeatedly ignore[ d] or explain[ed] away
evidence contrary to the theory the Trump campaign ... had conspired with Russia .... It
appeared that ... there was a pattern of assuming nefarious intent."

psul: "Not one indictment."

You know, that really got me thinking. Is everything legal, or even a smaller subset, anything that doesn't result in official charges, moral? This is the lesson the Right really needs to learn. What matters is winning, not being correct. Team Blue plays by the rules of victory uber alles and if you don't respond in kind, you are screwed.

Today's column by Tom Jerkin... up top, he states "Monday, March 27, she was found dead in front of her tent covered by a sleeping bag in bushes in Brunswick Basin. She had been dead for several days".

A sad end to a homeless woman with a severe drinking problem. Sure led me to think the poor lady (dead at 55) was living in a tent, but at the end of the piece he wrote:

"Deputy Beauchamp examined Lisa Marie White’s motel room. “I located a letter on the bed that appeared to show remorse. I was unable to read the whole thing due to handwriting, but there was a part that stated ‘by the time you are reading this, I should be dead…’”

So, she had a tent and a motel room, and it may well have been a suicide.

And because it simulates the activity of this hormone, it shuts down the activity of the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is this almond-sized structure in your brain, it’s one of the most primal structures we have, and it controls all the other hormonal structures in your body—your sexual development, your emotions, your fight-or-flight response, everything. But it shouldn’t be described in such cold physiological terms because your hypothalamus is not just a hormone factory. It’s this system that allows you to stand in awe of the beauty of a sunset, or to hear the sounds of orchestral music and to stop whatever you’re doing and want to listen. And I always think that if someone were to ask me, Where is it that you would look for the divine spark in each individual? I would say that it would be somewhere “beneath the inner chamber,” which is the Greek derivation of the term hypothalamus. To shut down that system is to shut down what makes us human."

Warning to readers:

Just be aware that Gregory is a fake Libertarian that supports Trumps desire to pardon most if not all of those convicted of crimes during the Jan 6 2021 insurrection at the Capitol. Libertarians are supposed to defend the Constitution which Gregory refuses to do when a mob attacked the Capitol with the intent to disrupt the election process of Biden as our legally elected President.

Sometimes the interwebz serves up some tasty phrases.

"The West is falling because people give too much credence to the opinions of losers, dorks, and degenerates.

Instead of laughing at them, you let them set national policy."

"That's what happens when 'diversity, inclusion, and equity' are put above competence and character."

"Seriously. Look at the people setting the rules and boundaries on everything.

Tyranny of the weakest."

"Tyranny of the weakest".

That's really good.

If "Bison Boi" accepted a plea deal then he admitted guilt so whats there to complain about after the fact?

Prosecution didn't give them all the information they had that showed the guy was innocent.

A bozo no-no for the prosecution.

punchy 226p

Really, punch? Really?
Miss working at KVMR much? Just why did they push you out the door?

If I see you in town, we will chat further. You may not enjoy it.

One of those things you run into. Planned Parenthood in Canada doing God's work with 9th graders.

"Planned Parenthood went to Lumsden High School (LHS) for a sexual health presentation “related to contraceptives, sexually transmitted infections, and consent,” according to an email allegedly sent to parents after the presentation."

here's the cards. The card for 'A' already appears to have been distributed to the local Democrats.

lol. Maybe we could get some sets printed up. Perfect for raffles at the Drag Queen Story Hour.

Groomer Nation really is a thing.

[Paul Emery]

I always enjoy our conversations Gregory. Looking forward to it.

[Scott O]

Paul 12:42 - "Then can we agree that those who did so on Jan 6 at the Capitol were justly indicted and convicted ?"

'Did so' what?

Paul 12:43 - "Is it a "petty misdemeanor" to do so in your opinion?"

What is "it"?

Did some one stick a squirrel brain inside Paul's cranium?

[Scott O]

Paul 2:28 - "...so whats there to complain about after the fact?"
I guess in your world, Paul - nothing.

Stalin would have loved Paul.

Warning to readers:

Paul Emery is on a steep mental decline, much like his hero, Joe Xiden. He last attended school circa 1960 when he earned a high school diploma. He spent a couple years on active duty in the USAF unloading caskets from transport aircraft returning from Viet Nam.

Since then he sings for his suppers.

He hates losing arguments and lashes out when he feels like he's lost a'gin. Which is most all the time.

Give him a pudding cup and call 911.

Gregory

Can you give us a review ow the time you spent serving our country in the Military? I was in the AF reserves for 6 years recieving an honorable discharge in 1974.

[Gregory]

"ow the time I spent serving our country in the Military"

English. Do you speak it?

Also, it's receiving, not recieving.

[Gregory]

scotto 251p

Stalin's Beria wouldn't have wasted any time on Paul. Just a bullet.

That's what useful idiots got after outliving their usefulness.

[Paul Emery]

Okay I'll repeat it just for you:

Gregory

[Scott O]

Paul 4:13 - I'll repeat this just for you, Paul:
I asked you 2 questions at 2:44.
Why should Gregory answer your questions if you won't answer any one's questions?

And Gregory 3:54 - Yes, in the end Paul would be shot. But Stalin would have loved him in the meantime.

[Gregory]

I could but i won't. Punch, you're being too much of an asswipe.

Aww, hell, ok. I spent two years working at a Naval Weapons Station attached to Camp Pendleton watching over AIM-54 missiles being tested after returning from cruises. That's the Phoenix missile that was carried by the F-14 for carrier defense.

It was a kick getting saluted by Marines on the way to work.

Now, fuck off.

[Paul Emery]

So you never served in the military Gregory. Just confirming that.

[Gregory]

The military is famed for killing people and breaking things. Which of those did you do?

The work I did for the US Navy might have saved a carrier from being sunk in the first hour of WW3 had it happened.

[Paul Emery]

Gregory

Of course you supported the invasion of Iraq, you're on record as doing that from previous posts, but you leave the killing and dying to others. Typical for you being a phony Libertarian and all that. You are certainly no supporter of Ron Paul who wrote "Why We Fight" opposing the War in Iraq and other military adventures during the Bush administration.
