The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 4/19/24

Good morning, kids. Were it not for the fact that Israel evidently launched what it describes as "limited" yet by most reports pretty sharp retaliatory strikes on Iran – that is directly and overtly on Iranian territory by IDF assets, not merely suspected covert Mossad assassinations or sabotage – you would not know (if you weren't reading this editorial) that the braindead kohlrabi-in-chief, or his puppet-master(s) as James O'Keefe seems to have officially confirmed in his latest undercover exposé, has yet again abandoned American military personnel to their fate in yet another international hotspot that doubtless would not be so hot had the 2020 election not been stolen. This time, it's Niger. Wait, do I have to write that as Ni*er so I don't get sent to a gulag?

Ironically, when I think of Niger, I think of yellow cake. You might recall that that's a form of uranium-containing ore which supposedly the wizards of smart at Langley back during the Dubya years used as the proof that Saddam Hussein was intending to go nuclear, and thus a/the casus belli for Gulf War 2, Shock and Awe Boogaloo. Maybe if we told Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants that Niger is holding Betty Crocker hostage, he'll launch a rescue mission for our trapped soldiers.

Be that as it may, the stumbling, shambling, stuttering clusterfuckery that is our foreign policy might well be shoving us down the slippery slope (sorry Xi) towards a major conflagration in the Middle East.

Israeli missiles hit at least one site in Iran, ABC News reported, citing US officials, and Iranian state media alerted citizens to explosions heard in the central part of the Islamic republic.
The attack comes after Iran rained down more than 300 drones and missiles toward the Jewish nation last Saturday — though nearly all were intercepted by Israel and its allies. Israel’s early morning retaliatory strike, however, appeared to be “limited,” a military source told Fox News. Israeli officials notified the US on Thursday that it had planned to strike Iran within 24 to 48 hours, according to Bloomberg News.
The Biden [junta] “didn’t endorse” Israel’s response, a US official told CNN.T
he city of Isfahan – home of Iran’s Natanz nuclear research facility and a major air base – appears to have been Israel’s primary target. A scroll alerting viewers to a “loud noise” near Isfahan was displayed on Iranian state television, but provided no other information, according to the Associated Press. State television claimed that all nuclear sites in the region were “fully safe.”
Hossein Dalirian, a spokesman for Iran’s civilian space program, claimed that the explosions were the results of three quadcopter drones that had been shot down, dismissing the threat Israel’s apparent retaliation posed to Iran. Iran’s air defense systems were activated in several provinces after the explosions first rang out, state news outlet IRNA reported, according to CNN. . .
. . . “Hearing [Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei] is having a blast today on his birthday,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) wrote on X, shortly after reports of the Israeli strike began to emerge. Khamenei, 84, was indeed born on April 19.

Maybe we can dress up a goat to resemble Marylin Monroe, replete with full burqa-witz, and get it to bleat "Happy Birthday" in a sultry manner. Or we can deliver Rashida Tlaib on a silver platter with an apple in her mouth. Same difference.

In all seriousness, the world has been destabilized, not only in the Middle East, but almost everywhere on the map as a result of the head-up-the-ass Ivy League/Kennedy School/Johns Hopkins-fueled delusions of the Foggy Bottom elites whose worldview is completely out of phase with reality and just plain old Jew-hatred that's also part and parcel of that worldview. As I implied, if elections indeed have consequences, take a good look around and consider the consequences of stolen elections.

The only thing that irks me from that report is that Israel supposedly informed the White House (boy, you talk about the term "Occupied Territories") that it was going to retaliate, and if that is true, likely the extent/nature of the retaliation. I imagine this was some sort of face-saving diplomatic gesture but the real-politik of who is a friend and enemy kind of blows this out of the water.

In any case, on the broader diplomatic front of this brewing war, the Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants banana-in-the-tailpipe junta might have totally screwed itself – and that means some good news for a change for Israel and all of us.

The United States used its veto on Thursday at the United Nations (UN) Security Council to block a Palestinian state from being declared unilaterally.
American policy has held for decades that a Palestinian state should emerge after negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Still, the Biden administration played coy until the last hours before the UN Security Council vote, with the White House dodging questions about a potential veto until the State Department announced the U.S. position earlier on Thursday. . .
. . . The U.S. tried to portray a Palestinian state as something that “Hamas and its Iranian backers” would oppose, though Hamas denounced the U.S. veto.
Israel welcomed the veto. The Israeli government had argued against Palestinian statehood, either at the UN or outside of it, arguing that recognizing a Palestinian state in the present context would reward Hamas for terror.

This comes a couple of weeks after the US stabbed Israel in the heart by not vetoing another General Assembly vote which paved the way for "Palestinian" statehood. There's either no one at the helm or Commodore Decker has sealed himself on the Enterprise bridge and is intent on ramming us down the throat of the planet killer; that cheapo model on strings that resembles a Biden ice cream cone on end.

At least, to paraphrase Gil Scot Heron, they might have "lost Detroit." But for sure, they've lost Dearborn and possibly Minneapolis. Will they have regained some (most, all) of the self-gassing idiot Jews who had initially distanced themselves in the wake of 10/7 to come back and open their checkbooks for the DNC? TBD.

So, let's take a quick gander at the state of play on the RISK board:

IRAN – is going to have to respond to this, and with the abject failure of its mass aerial assault last weekend, I would imagine there will be some sort of mass combined ground and artillery attack from Hezbollah coming from Lebanon.

ISRAEL – no doubt sees this and perhaps is preparing some sort of preemptive strike on Iranian assets up north to blunt that attack, or whatever command and control assets Iran has up there and possibly in Iran itself. Combined ops of Mossad and Sayeret Matkal, the IDF's equivalent of the SEALs/Delta Force.

The Biden-Junta-controlled USA – in order to salvage the Muslim-Marxist voting base might have to somehow intervene militarily or otherwise assist Iran to defend itself if they catch wind of what Israel is going to do. Oh boy! Talk about getting hair mussed.

In any case, this may be anecdotal but remember that there is a lot of pent up hatred of the mullahs in Iran itself:

The Iranian police reportedly arrested Iranian national volleyball team player Mobina Rostami for condemning the Iranian attack on Israel:

Iranian national volleyball team player Mobina Rostami posted on her Instagram account: “As an Iranian, I am truly ashamed of the authorities’ attack on Israel, but you need to know that the people in Iran love Israel and hate the Islamic Republic.”
She was reportedly arrested shortly afterwards. One of the comments on her post came from an account associated with Iranian security forces, stating: “We will shove you in a bag.”
“Only God knows what fate awaits her,” her friends posted on social media.

No one knows where she is right now.

Pray for her. Pray for all the truly innocent Iranian people who think like her. Pray for Israel, Judeo-Christian civilization as well as for our personnel abandoned in Ni*er.

And Joey should only choke on a big fat slice of yellow cake. How fucked is this world with Obama or whoever pulling his strings?

BIDEN: "I made it clear to the Israelis — don't move on Haifa!"
. . . Biden has tried to pressure Israel not to enter Rafah, a city in Gaza on the Egyptian border that is thought to be the location of the last Hamas battalions, and the remaining Israeli hostages.
Haifa is considered Israel’s third city, after Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. It features a large port in a natural harbor. It is also seen as an example of coexistence between Arabs and Jews, and is a headquarters for the Baha’i faith.

My latest essay is up at Taki's Magazine. Please read and comment.

Have a good weekend. And as Buck Turgidson said to Suge (not Knight) "Don't forget to say your prayers!"

60 Oh, FFS.

Tchiani already told Victoria Nuland (quite literally) that she's too fat, that her regime in Niamey had run its course, that her puppet Bazoum was not going to be released under any circumstances, and that US financial and military assistance was no longer required in Niger.

His current assessment that the DC regime is "unserious and predatory" is correct - and, given that it both trained him and elevated him to flag rank in the first place, he'd be in a position to know it. His current demand for us to vacate is his right, since our status-of-forces agreement expired last month.

Brandon's handlers are deliberately putting these troops in harm's way, in hopes that Tchiani will get trigger happy and provide them with a pretext to overthrow his government, as revenge for him insulting their corpulent, toadlike warlord Nuland.

Our government is truly disgusting.

85 Why the US has military bases in Niger

The U.S. has a military presence in several African countries.

In Niger, the U.S. has had two military bases, called Air Base 101 and Air Base 201, and first started drone operations in 2013.

While Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world, its geographic location and natural resources have increased its importance to global powers. Specifically, Niger’s location gives the U.S. ability to engage in counterterrorism throughout much of West Africa.

++++
Two things here, I think.

First, with the possible exception of Japan (and even that is questionable), there is no such thing as a nation state with a "civilian space program." Private outfits like SpaceX, sure - but even *that* is questionable given the number of military and spy satellites they launch for the US government. A nation state does not waste money on a space program without an ulterior motive - like cover for developing ballistic missiles or delivering intelligence or weapons payloads to orbit. That there are tons of civilian benefits is somewhat beside the point. None of it happens without significant strategic state interest. Bragging rights just aren't worth it.

Second, "Iran’s air defense systems were activated ... after the explosions first rang out" is a damning statement.

Yes, but the wider problem is a lot deeper. The world order is cracking up in real time. The American empire is finished. We're tapped out but even if we weren't, it's now too inconsistent, the goals too misaligned with national interest and we have a competence crisis at all levels.

The way I think of this is that we are in the opening stages of a vast, world-shaking rejiggering. The world, for all intents and purposes, ended in 2020 and we're in the opening stages of the aftermath. The deed is done. The world as we knew it no longer exists, and figuring out what the hell that means is extremely disruptive and dangerous.

Watching not only the fall of an empire, but the end of the world (they often but not always coincide) unfold in real time is quite interesting. "Chinese Curse" kind of interesting.

Unfortunately he created the NRC to oversee it and they staffed up with commies and immediately scuttled the plan.

What difference does it make? If the UNSC recognizes a state or doesn't, what changes? The UN can say it's a state, but that doesn't mean that Israel or her Arab neighbors will, and they have the greatest interest. Does it unlock anything meaningful? Does it change the basis or quantity of aid, or enable "legitimate" weapons transfers or result in some kind of enforceable changes to treaties or anything like that?

Clearly, the US is experiencing Mass Formation Psychosis, or in terms of Mimetic Theory, Mimetic Crisis. In a Mimetic Crisis, you have this large scale vicious circle where those in the Double Bind will compete to out-do the other (and there are a lot of others) where you have an irrational and obsessive focus on a single target. This is the scapegoat. The catharsis is to kill the scapegoat (which isn't really a scapegoat, but I didn't come up with the theory).

The problem isn't them humiliating, bankrupting and killing Trump - which they most certainly will do, its that the crisis itself is left untreated and they will quickly seek another focus, which will larger and even more ambitious - e.g. The Christian Church.

That Gone With the Wind article is interesting.

That movie is the lovely and discerning Mrs naturalfake's favorite. She was really disappointed in missing the April 12th showing on the big screen.

Originally, not my kind of movie, but I've seen it several times now. (the lovely and discerning Mrs naturalfake's favorite, yo!)-

and have come to admire and enjoy it. Or, at least, significant parts of it. It's pure storytelling and characterizations are excellent.

I also think the handwringing over racism is way overblown in these stupid times. That era is in the far past and dead and never coming back. So-

I tend to look at the slavery as something that was of the time. Do I get all angry when I watch a show like "Rome" with its Germanic slaves? Do I howl at the indignity done my ancestors?

No. I do not. I realize things are a bit more complex than that, however-

People need to grow up. GWTW is not responsible for the failures in your life.

On a drive recently I heard someone discussing King Kong and how it was a theatrical masterpiece in large part because the director didn't want a man in a gorilla suit, and how the proportions of Kong kept changing throughout the film.

They discussed the enormous torso and hand that was made but IIRC they weren't sure if they'd use it or be able to finish the film since it was in the middle of such hard economic times.

The conversation was about a recent book IIRC, and it sounded really interesting. I need to re-watch King Kong soon.

217 I recently learned that Nixon had workable plans drawn up to make the US power grid 100% nuclear by 1980.

100% is folly because nukes are base load (constant supply) not peaker plants, and simple observation of demand curves over time would reinforce the idea of oversupply, unless the excess was used for desalination, pumping or some other activity that can be intermittent. (like Bitcoin generation)

Furthermore, a pure nuclear, or any other fuel system is incompatible with competing power auctions which are held every few minutes in most RTOs. With today's MBAs who don't know how to increase productivity but only can "cut costs" (mostly through deferred maintenance and short-cuts), this only means a degrade ability to generate power with no upgrades or new supplies being built due to the non-competitiveness of a single fuel energy source.

231 On Wednesday, Biden claimed that his uncle Ambrose Finnegan crashed on an island in New Guinea and was eaten by cannibals.

“He got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals at the time,” Biden initially told reporters. He was visiting a war memorial in his hometown of Scranton, Pa., that bears his uncle's name.

“They never recovered his body, but the government went back when I went down there and they checked and found some parts of the plane.”

It's a good story. Too bad it's not even close to the truth.

235 FAA to now require that reentry spacecraft get landing license before launch
=======================
The fricken FAA has done such an excellent job with their statutory job hiring and DEI training AT Controllers and overseeing Boeing and other aircraft manufacturers, that they have extra time to load on useless regulatory controls on a company that is figuring out the hardest flight engineering problems existing. ...

I wonder what the legal justification is given that nobody (I don't think) operates a land-return spacecraft anymore. Yes, I know we're post-law, but all of this nonsense has *some* paper-thin legal justification.

If it's going to land in the sea, what's the justification? "If you launch from here, you shall comply?"

People insist pot is non-addictive and doesn't cause any more harm than anything else, but for some weird reason the stereotype of a pothead has existed for decades and everyone knows a few losers from high school that remained losers as adults because of pot.

I haven't checked but I assume it's tied to the 1963 Communist Goals.

242 Naturally, the Biden campaign had to respond so they sent him to a Wawa in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with Mayor Cherelle Parker. According to a report from CBS News, "Biden ordered a classic-size Italian hoagie with American cheese and a black-[and-]white milkshake from the Delaware County-based convenience store that recently celebrated its 60th anniversary."

Because, you know, he's a regular guy.

But the stop was another bust. Video from the visit showed that the only fans Biden had at the event were those in the media covering the campaign stop, and what made it even more hilarious is that Biden struggled to close his takeout box before ordering one of this handlers to take the box so he could order a milkshake.

248 Do you think Iran will not respond to an attack on its soil? It will have to counter and then the US and Europe are likely to get drawn in. All western leaders begged Netanyahu not to this.

They begged Netanyahu not to. All they do is beg. (Then send money and weapons.) And the ethnic cleansing of Palestine grinds on.

Israel has not "ethnically cleansed" the 20% of its citizens who are Arabs. But, it is fighting a war against the Iranian backed terrorists who have and still are attacking Israel.

Ethnic cleansing is the polite term. Most call it genocide. And killing over 13,000 children is not self defense. This is now what Israel will be famous for. Thirteen thousand dead children. Killed for being Palestinian.

Polite? A more accurate word would be "biased." The Hamas war headquarters are in underground tunnels and bunkers beneath (and sometimes inside) civilian sites. It is intentional on the part of Hamas in order to protect themselves at the expense of their own civilians.

people concerned about civilians, direct anger at the Hamas cowards who hide behind civilians to save their own murderous hides.

They do. It's called "the academic milieu."

Academic language is an ecclesiastical language derived from mid-century postmodern philosophy. Once you learn the language, you just ... speak it. If you keep running in those circles, you'll remain abreast of the new vocabulary through osmosis and it's easy to do because you already know the new language's rules. We have new words all the time in the main language, too and it's effortless to pick up on them in you run the circles where they appear.

306 Note: Most Muslim Arabs in Israel moved there after the start of Zionism.

The European Jews that moved back home brought money, skills, and European technology which then led to a booming economy in what had been a backwater (we have descriptions of what it was like from various Christians that traveled there in the 1800s).

Arafat, for example, was Egyptian.

309 I suspect it is, in large part, like alcohol. Some people can handle it, some can't. Add in the fact that it's been changed to be more potent over time and you've gone from the equivalent of kids having a beer to kids downing shots of 151.

Of course. It’s like most things done to excess isn’t good for you. And beer has become more potent as well. When I was growing up beer was pisswater Bud. Now there is 8% or 9% beer out there. A couple of those beers gets most people drunk.

311 >>Two biggest stoners I knew growing up ended up as a high end lawyer and a diplomat respectively Wait maybe you’re right and it does cause mental illness after all.

Always amazes me that when it comes to pot, some people can never accept that for some percentage of the users it has a harmful affect.
We can all see that while many people drink alcohol, some become alcoholics and it destroys their body (slowly). With smoking, we accept that it causes harm to the lungs, and for some, can lead to cancer, etc.. A lot of people like sweets, but for some who overindulge, it can lead to serious weight gain, diabetes.

But no, because some guys you knew smoked some pot and went on to be successful, discussing how it can and is harmful to kids is a joke. Whatever, duuuude.

Yes just like alcohol. And coffee. And sugar. And pretty much anything on the planet.

THAT is the point. There will always be the exceptions to the rule. Most people can smoke a joins now and then with no adverse effects. Just like most people can drink a couple of beers on a Friday night with no adverse effects.

Yet weed is treated as if anyone who touches it once turns into a vegetable or something. Which is absurd.

And I haven’t smoked in 15 years. It was something I did in my younger days. And I find it hilarious how some people think of weed as if we’re back in 1955 black and white PSA movies about it.

>Peoples Dispatch, Why has Niger declared US military presence in its territory illegal?
Only months after forcing its former colonizer France to withdraw its troops, Niger, West Africa’s largest country, has said the presence of US troops is illegal. This could be a major blow to the US military’s power-projection capacity in the region, March 19, 2024 by Pavan Kulkarni

In begins, "Niger declared the US military deployment in its territory “illegal” on Saturday, March 16, after a US delegation allegedly threatened “retaliation” against the largest country in West Africa for its ties with Russia and Iran."

And, "...Like in neighboring Mali and Burkina Faso, the presence of Western troops in Niger for nearly a decade only saw an increase in the spread of violence by Islamist insurgencies they were ostensibly deployed to fight, after spawning them across the Sahel by destroying Libya in 2011."
