Finally figured out why the whole 'Moon Landing Never Happened' thing got started. It's bullshit agitprop produced by America's enemies. You might ask why? Well, follow this THREAD and see...
Hypersonic weapons are currently all the rage. The Russians are working on a nuclear powered cruise missile that can run forever – more or less - in the upper atmosphere, maneuvering and coming down at incredible speed whenever required.
China is working on all sorts of hypersonic weapons, hoping that missiles operating at incredible speeds can be used to asymmetrically offset the enormous military advantages enjoyed by the US – particularly with carrier strike groups.
Hypersonic weapons can get going really fast because they get into the upper atmosphere, or just outside it, in order to speed up with very little resistance. Then they come roaring back down to earth at heretofore unseen velocities.
One way to deal with this would be to throw up sattelites that might be able to address such threats – to some extent anyway. Or even larger stations in orbit. But what if there were an even more substantial base, beyond the lower orbital reaches cluttered by existing satellites?
What if control of the moon will be central to the future of global military dominance? In such a situation the nature of the territorial claim, and its primacy – not to mention its authenticity – will be of critical importance.
If you don't believe me watch the international spats now erupting about Arctic access (and even Antarctic access). The standard approach of Russia and China – for decades – has been to peddle disinformation, distorting and eroding where they can't make a frontal assault.
THAT, my friends, is why there's been such a push to inculcate the whole 'we never went to the moon' bullshit. If China & others can eat away our claim's foundations, it will be that much easier to mobilize resistance against US moves to militarize the moon. Or so it seems to me.

This is my best guess on what's going down in Afghanistan

[THREAD]

Biden's a dipshit. They know he's a dipshit. USA has long played the revolving dialectical game of Republicans make war, Democrats make peace. Of course it's a lie. But bear in mind they run things in cycles.
So Biden's perfect to oversee the phase of mock humiliation. The narrative is globally fixed that Afghanistan was a blunder. That the US are inept. That valiant goat herders with matchlock jezails destroyed the world greatest superpower blah, blah, blah.
And you've all seen that this narrative has taken root. Helped along by Tony Blair's remarks about 'imbecility', mind you.

So "The US is floundering." "Afghanistan was lost." "Biden is manifestly incompetent & oversaw this" etc. etc.

Catching up on my @RoyalApostolic streams. 30 minutes into this one on the origins of the Kievan Rus & it's a particularly good one.

A few (very) random thoughts follow 1/6

1st regarding Khazars: there's old story of how they came to adopt their religion. Perhaps you mention it later but you didn't in yr discussion of Khazars thus far.

Ruler of the Khazars decides he must choose among the religions of the book to select one for his domains. 2/6
He summons representatives of all 3 Abrahamic faiths who arrive & argue on their own behalf. Christians & Muslims give long & eloquent expositions of their faith, doctrine & history.

The Jew, when his turn comes, say "We were first" and the Kaghan chooses Judaism. 3/6

Songs For The Right

A thread to which I will occasionally add songs.
"Listen he ain't for sale. Never for the law to ride."

There are many live recordings of this song, each a bit different. All worth checking out.

"Dinn, dinn, daoñ, d'an emgann ez an!"

Just had this one recommended. It's EXCELLENT. Really a surprise. Absolutely TOP DRAWER. How did I not know about this? ImageImageImage
"You expect me to believe these Apaches will turn agains their own families, track down their own people?"

"Why not? Everyone else seems to be doing it." Image
Much better than I'd thought it would be. Image

I catch flak for calling events at The Capitol a false flag.

I was referring to people starting fights at The Capitol while Trump was still speaking, before he finished.

Trump supporters I've encountered would stay there at the speech, until it was finished.

I was also talking about those who first went in, exploiting photo ops. What's the negative PR value of that Confederate flag?

But it goes further. Capitol can lock down in a minute. Maybe two minutes. It's the fucking Capitol. Get real.

Heavy, locking bronze doors.

So why were the doors left open? Who decided to let these people in?

Sorry. I simply do not accept that the building could not be secured quickly. Very quickly.

They doubtless run drills. Smell the coffee.

Don't even know where to start. There's so much of it. I'll give the quotes including as little as possible so it will fit in Twitter. If you want context just search the terms in the transcript.

Mind you, this isn't all of it.

"And we are quite sure that’s going to happen."

"Ballots were dropped in massive numbers. And we’re trying to get to those numbers and we will have them."
"And they supposedly shredded I think they said 300 pounds of, 3,000 pounds of ballots. And that just came to us as a report today. And it is a very sad situation."
