How common sense is concealed as a state secret:

kill switch
noun
a computer function for disabling software or a device remotely: 100 percent of the French high-tech arms exports concealed a kill switch which could render the weapon useless

“Senior MPs have called for an inquiry into claims that France deliberately withheld secrets about missiles that killed 46 British sailors in the 1982 Falklands War

“The Telegraph has been told that French-made Exocet guided missiles contained a “kill switch” that could have disarmed them, but that France denied such a device existed

“Three Royal Navy ships were hit by Exocets during the Falklands conflict, two of which – HMS Sheffield and the merchant vessel Atlantic Conveyor – sank. Sailors died on all three ships

“The missiles were made by the French firm Aerospatiale and, as the Royal Navy task force sailed south to retake the islands from their Argentinian occupiers, Britain appealed to its ally for information about how they worked and whether they could be disabled

“British experts believed the Exocets contained a kill switch, which arms manufacturers sometimes secretly build into weapons so they can be disabled if they fall into the hands of a hostile state

“According to a highly-placed source, France denied that the kill switches existed, but British officials became convinced it was not telling the truth, partly as a result of investigations carried out on an earlier variant of the missile that had been bought by the UK”

knucklehead |ˈnəkəlˌhed |

“Serbia plans to purchase Rafale multipurpose fighter jets from France, President Aleksandar Vucic said  … which experts saw as the latest sign of Belgrade distancing itself from its traditional military supplier and ally Russia

“”We have been negotiating this purchase of 12 new jets for a year, and we are also looking at buying another 12 used (Western) planes from another country,” Vucic told Reuters. He did not specify the type of the used planes.

“Serbia and Dassault Aviation discussed the purchase of the 12 Dassault Rafale jets, France’s La Tribune weekly reported last week

“In 2019 Serbia bought France’s Mistral surface-to-air missiles and in 2016 it acquired helicopters from Airbus

“Croatia, which is an EU and NATO member and Serbia’s wartime foe from the 1990s, also operates Rafale jets”

Right. So, Serbia will be ‘BFF‘ with Croatia & NATO and, never a worry shall arise that, when a Croatian/NATO Rafale fighter jet takes on a Serbian Rafale fighter jet, the Croatian/NATO plane will be, in every case, ‘a winner by Dassault’ .. er, excuse me, I meant winner by default (it’s the kill switch for the knucklehead with a short attention span)

So, about those Mistral missiles Serbia purchased which likely won’t touch a NATO jet; Serbia is arming up with systems that will (maybe) work against a single entity and that entity would be Russia.

And then, the preceding brings up the countless shoulder launched anti-tank & anti-aircraft missiles abandoned on the field of battle in Ukraine by Kiev’s forces as though they were useless as the NATO states pour thousands of new man-portable missile systems into the conflict and suddenly the Russians get serious about taking out the NATO supply lines. Did a Russian ‘hack’ driven software change become necessary?

A plausible WWIII footnote would be, if the French made Exocet of 1982 possessed a ‘kill switch’ and it almost certainly did, it stands to reason nearly every subsequent high-tech generation weapons system would be adapted to this ‘furtive’ technology, no matter the geo-political alignment of the manufacturer. Example given, should Russia be concerned about the S-400 system it sold to Turkey in case of hostilities with the double-dealing & back-stabbing Turkish President Erdogan? Probably not.

“Toynbee believed that societies always die from suicide or murder rather than from natural causes, and nearly always from suicide” [1]

The “nation” is the ethnicity, the culture, the collective psychology of the people, the soul of the land shaping the populace. This is a natural phenomenon, based in feelings, from which true, not artificial, revolutions are born. It is the underlying self-identity of the people. Naturally androgynous, this instinctive understanding becomes weighted to a feminine intelligence, refusing to be dominated, when threatened.

The “state” is the mechanism that should have served to keep the nation stable, flourishing, and sustained in such a way as to provide a complete nutrition, temporal and spiritual. It is an artificial entity. The state, more often than not, morphs into a disciplinarian and reactionary male mentality, when threatened.

From the first, natural event, the second, artificial event must draw its legitimacy, in order for the state to sustain. This second or the state, to survive, must accurately reflect the ‘feelings’ of the first. The mistake of the state is to lose sight of keeping the woman’s happiness (the people) paramount as the only means to stability, and health in the relationship.

In the paradox that is liberal democracy and the West, the cycling and recycling of domestic violence, the rise and fall of the state, is result of a misapprehension of reality by Plato, and in the case of France, it is the mistake of Plato’s progeny: Descartes.

plato2

What Plato had done,  is to deny ‘feeling’ derived from instinct as a form or source of healthy intelligence, when assigning a paramount value to male understanding and the evolution of the state. This subverts any natural and healthy self-identity or what could be described as ‘I am French!’ in a sense of positive populism, into a malignant populism that is quite angry with her lover, wishing to throw him out of the apartment constituting the state. However those politicians educated by the Catholic church might wish to deny this is a ‘state’ of chauvinism in relation to the French people, infecting the state institution, in fact, according to French revolutionary principles, ‘Liberty’ is a church persecuted woman demanding bread on the household’s table:

Image result for lady liberty france

Plato’s (and Descartes) unnatural chauvinism is simple result of denial mechanism, burying feeling and related instinct with the spade of logic and, when your political foundation is Jesuit educated over several generations, Lycée Louis-le-Grand example given, it is small wonder the state should go on to produce a Hungarian elf with an erection, Sarkozy, who’d pandered to the French deputies with the aroma of L’Oréal,  followed on with a flaccid body & mind that looked as though it’d not stepped out of his prostitute’s apartment in Quartier Pigalle for decades, that is Hollande, and now we have the moral midget Macron who’d seduced his elderly lover as though, in his fantasies, he were the spawn of incest that is Mordred coveting the throne via seduction of Guinevere. But the actual portrait is rather one of Sarte’s ‘undead’ consort grimacing her pleasure at the murder of Lady Liberty. It’s small wonder Paris burns.

The ‘undead’ de Beauvoir

 

Meanwhile, if we can thank the counter-revolutionary Napoleon for the unifying of the German state, we can also thank Bismark for schooling the most part of a Catholic Germany into a collective, singular, Prussian mentality that dare not deviate from the artificial; or a Plato inspired supremacist state where a pretense of civility thinly conceals an undying, authentic nazi nature in the ruling structures. If the contemporary German ruler historically need little fear their own thoroughly cowed populace, where free thinking is crushed in the children as easily as one might swat flies, the German state does fear (with a vengeance) the French style or feminine liberté, égalité, fraternité in its origins or revolutionary state. It follows, a ‘vichyphile’ or ‘Mini-Merkel’ is replacing a tired, barren, reactionary product of a failed Marxist state, that is one Dame Angela, even as a familiar, malignant form of nationalism erupts in Merkel’s own eastern homeland.

In short, an intensive education in physics, that is Merkel’s PhD, shapes the brain away from intelligent instinct, a legacy of Plato, and this phenomenon of an education in ‘hard science’ should never be underestimated in a context of possibility for rendering a person or body politic to become utterly, socially stupid. Without good instinct, there is absolute inflexibility when it comes to what cannot be grasped, how the land’s culture shapes the nation’s soul, especially inability to grasp circumstance where this soul is threatened. Populism and related nationalism manifest in two forms, the healthy and unhealthy, the benign and the malignant, the tranquil and the rage.

It follows, Merkel lacking real insight, and having altogether failed recognizing cause underlying her own people increasingly rejecting her, even as Germany implodes, anoints a caricature, a small freak intellect that is mirror image of its mentor and a dead instinct’s policies:

‘Mini-Mutti’ & ‘Mutti’

 

What’s to come? Even as Paris burns and Berlin has become a singular, large crime scene where AlexanderPlatz in the city’s center is now a no-go zone for ordinary citizens, this Mini-Merkel will push forward Mutti’s failing vision of globalism, with associated, lesser-privileged EU satellite states further forced into privitization, ripping off the people to benefit those corporate shareholders comprising 1%, multiculturalism and associated social friction will be an unrelenting drive, NATO aggression and associated hostility towards Russia must increase, and the new Mini-Merkel certainly will perform political fellatio on fellow minions of the Western oligarchs and the likes of Macron who admires the nazi puppet & Vichy hero Marshal Petain; if only to prop up the European ruling class of the rich becoming richer. Deutschland Über alles requires what amounts to collaborators governing in France and the spots on that nazi phenomenon have nothing to do with Marine LePen. The nazi is Macron.

Populism’s ‘yellow’ adorns believers in LePen on the right, Mélenchon on the left, and all of the disaffected between the two of them in a nation with soul burning in torment. It is the nation at the stake, where Macron holds the torch of a divorced (from the people) state that will see France burned alive on behalf of a blind arrogance; while Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer’s Prussian mentality no doubt habitually masturbates to her fantasies of a French Jesuit educated consort of the undead that constitutes the German state’s romance with a necrophiliac; as Europe crumbles from within. The social psychology of the damned, as it were…

I left this as a comment at Phill Giraldi’s Unz Review column. Time to time my comments are inspiration for my blog but this is the first one I’m bringing over here verbatim:

When the middle east was ‘decolonized’ (in name only) there were artificial boundaries left behind resembling those of the American Indian reservations where tribes with a long history of mutual animosity were forced into cohabitation. Secular strongmen kept a lid on the religious animosity between Shia and Sunni (the main and most problematic rivalry) in a region with an otherwise naturally decentralized body politic represented in various tribes and clans with local tradition of authority. There is no nation state tradition per se in the sense we know in ‘the west.’

The folly of attempting to impose western style (liberal) democracy on what amount to artificial entities to begin with (‘states’ comprised of arbitrary, colonial era drawn borders, incorporating peoples with longstanding differences and simmering animosities) is certain to see profound consequence. As much as it might be an undesirable short term and self-centered interest of less than noble parties to break these artificial entities up, the reality is any previous delicate balance has been so deeply compromised and poisoned, and the historic animosity between the areas indigenous rivals so stirred, there is no going back to the old status quo. ‘All the king’s horses and all the king’s men won’t put this humpty back together again.’

In the short term, America’s neo-cons (and neo-liberals) have, in a sense, won. But what? No one can predict where, when or what is going to come of this incredibly stupid gambit where the attempted overthrow of Assad was so great a fascination of converging, short-sighted interests, to go so far as to knowingly allow, nay, actually make that fostering, the rise of Islamic State.

Sunni Iraq is de facto broken off from Shia Iraq, Sunni Syria is effectively broken off from Alawite and Christian Syria and the Kurds, the largest stateless ethnic group in the world, is a wild card determined to have what they should have been allowed in the beginning, their own nation-state. Most Kurds are in Turkey with sizable populations in Iraq, Iran and Syria. Kurd national aspirations trump their largely Sunni religious affiliation. Erdogan, reflecting a long time Turkish chauvinism in relation to other ethnic groups, has destroyed what little rapprochement had been accomplished with not only Turkey’s own Kurdish population, but has alienated the Kurds of Syria and Iraq.

Phil [Giraldi’s] ‘destroying ISIS but how?’ has to take the long view where all of these complications are in play. Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Qatar all might give lip service to reasonable solution but the only solution they actually desire is Assad’s ouster and a compliant puppet to replace him. Meanwhile, the western powers have so much ego invested, they can hardly stand to turn a new page if they can’t write the script, although the ‘chickens come home to roost’ in Paris might have slapped some sense into Hollande, but we won’t know this for certain right away.

That sole, overarching fact is, international law and the United Nations, based in western traditions, are no match for the forces released with the meddling in this region by the no less than incredible stupidity of the western powers leadership. When the dust settles, let’s just hope it’s not radioactive –

Today’s media, FOX being the poster child, is exploiting the ignorant and narcissistic hate endemic to the uneducated White lower class in the USA, while parroting the official line. There is a deep and abiding fear underlies this hate, a social-cultural phenomenon rooted in a history of class exploiting race, whether the racism of ‘manifest destiny’ in relation to considering Native Americans sub-human to justify theft and murder; or the ‘White trash’ whose racism had been historically fed and exploited by the ‘southern aristocracy’ for political and pecuniary purpose.

Social phenomena being what it is, it follows there is the inter-generational aspect where the ignorance is sustained within family and community. ‘Mean people make little mean people.’ This ignorance is, in turn, exploited by the politics of fear mongering in the present.

Whether it is the fairly straightforward lies of the Rupert Murdochs (FOX News) in our world or the more insidious Hasbara of Israel, example given, posing as White, racist, anti-Semites in the article comments at Unz Review to smear authors like Phillip Giraldi with a false flag generating guilt by association, it is old tactic in play.

Now, Arabs (and Brown anybodies) are the new Native American to be feared as ‘savages’ in the 21st century edition of empire (manifest destiny) and, of course, there is underhanded play aplenty to radicalize just enough of the new ‘savages’ to insure a few will behave shockingly enough for media sensation. Meanwhile ’empire media’ will present ‘White Europe’ as the model of civilization under attack by barbarians, never mind we prop up the likes of ®Saudi Barbaria™.

Saudi Arabia, whom the USA has just sold another billion dollars plus in arms, exports Wahabi Islam that crucifies, beheads and delivers lashes in increments of 50 over years of torture as the victim is allowed to heal between the last fifty and next fifty to the number of 1,000. This cruelty is reflected in the close Saudi connections to, and support for, al-Qaida and Islamic State and with the Saudis financing mosques across Europe, what would one expect? That Brussels, example given, would become Europe’s ‘jihadi’ hotbed? The result is bringing discredit on ordinary, law abiding people of Muslim heritage everywhere, secular and religious.

This matrix of evil is all interconnected in the USA’s so-called ‘vital national interests’ where intelligence agencies, backed by corporate co-opted media, geo-engineer entire societies, whether via ‘color revolutions’, coups d’état or in the present ‘Arab Spring’ attempted overthrow of Syria’s Assad.

This immediate preceding case is where the so-called ‘Arab Spring’ had been prostituted in a case of converging interests; Saudi Arabia and Qatar looking to overthrow Assad to essentially to poke Iran in the eye with a sharp stick. Turkey to quash its paranoia of the Kurds exercising of any right of self determination exterior to its borders. Israel supporting al-Nusra to remove a thorn its side constituting the Golan Heights where they will be looking for a surrender of sovereignty in a weakened and compliant Syria broken off from Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The USA appeasing Israel, and as well, appeasing ally (oil supplier) Saudi Arabia at odds with Iran also plays into the equation, as well USA, France, Germany and Britain play if only because they’re addicted to the profits from weapons sales propping up corporate neo-colonialism.

The result has been establishing (by the CIA in concert with Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Israel and to some extent the British, German and French intelligence agencies) the so-called ‘Free Syrian Army’ which has served as little more than a front to train and arm Salafist (extreme Wahabi) militia represented in al-Qaida and the emergence of Daesh (Islamic State, IS, ISIL, ISIS) as a device to overthrow the secular regime of Syria, noting any ‘real’ moderates are fighting on the side of the secular regime.

The result has been several fold; the flood of refugees out of Syria, the Paris massacre, the accelerated rise of a police state in the so-called ‘free world’ and not least, the overall increase of the value of stocks in the so-called ‘security industry’ (includes the profit margin increases of armaments producers across the board.)

All of this can be accomplished in the case of manipulating press to insure an ill educated and misinformed populace is thoroughly fear mongered; terrorists here, terrorists there, terrorists everywhere:

They see you when you’re sleeping (CNN)
They know when you’re awake (Al Jazeera)
They know when you’re out to dine (Le Monde)
So stay home for safety’s sake! (Der Speigel)
So you better watch out (The Daily Mail)
You’d better not fly (Canadian Broadcasting Corp)
Al-Baghdadi is coming to town (The Jerusalem Post)

Now, if any of you have any doubts as to the preceding, take a look (again) at what I’ve been hammering on at this site; we have a bonafide, (no doubt mistakenly or incredibly courageously) declassified intelligence report from the Defense Intelligence Agency that says in no uncertain terms the rise of Islamic State, as stated by the boss of the Defense Intelligence Agency when that very report was written, and speaking to that very same report, was “willful” and “a policy decision”

Now, ask yourselves, who is to blame for the attacks in Paris? I’ll name the names at the top: USA’s Obama, Turkey’s Erdogan, the House of Saud, the rulers of Qatar, France’s Hollande (and Sarkozy prior to Hollande), Britain’s Cameron, Germany’s Merkel and Israel’s Netanyahu.

Now, ask yourselves the more difficult questions; what western democratic constitution allows for intelligence agencies to engineer the rise of terrorist organizations for sake of geo-political manipulations? The plain answer is none. If Iran is the world’s premier sponsor of state terror as alleged by the USA Department of State, what are the so-called western democracies by comparison? It wasn’t Iran butchered the Parisians, it wasn’t Hezbollah and it wasn’t Assad either. The massacre in Paris is the direct result of the USA, in concert with Britain, France, Germany, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Israel deliberately creating and feeding the conditions that saw the rise of Daesh (Islamic State, IS, ISIL, ISIS.) A secondary, but no less malignant result, will be the rise of the far right and nationalism in Europe, breeding fear, loathing and Islamophobia with growing radicalism on all parties part.

It should come as no surprise that those nations arming a dark ages regime such as Saudi Arabia would be criminal regimes in their own right, particularly noting in addition to the USA, France, Britain and Germany. Meanwhile, the criminal leadership of the western democracies has been cutting their own people’s throats. In every nation named, the actions of their respective intelligence agencies is directed from the executive level.

This is the real intelligence on our leaders and it’s not rocket science:

This is information primarily of interest to the several national security services and police of the European Nations I have been active in:

If requesting formal meeting with me or interview concerning my work, I am generally unavailable in person for security reasons, but I will consider any requests on a case by case basis. As you may well imagine, anti-corruption work can (and sometimes does) make powerful enemies, and it happens there are personalities in certain institutions of western democracies who are both corrupt and violent. Relevant to this, my work can lead to interesting circumstance, such as my present overstay in the Schengen zone of Europe, a technical violation of civil law.

I fully understand my present circumstance is illegal (overstayed non-resident) but I fully intend to remain in Schengen for the present, to work out wrapping up the ‘alpha project.’

Per a recent order from a certain national ministry of the interior, I have relocated from my previous residence on 14 March. When the present phase of ‘alpha’ is completed, and/or it is possible to deal with administrative authorities more securely, I will return and take the necessary administrative procedure to correct my technical violation of the Schengen zone rules and the relevant laws of your nation.

If perchance you are with the security services or police of the several EU nations where I have been pursuing ongoing activities, and are unfamiliar with my work, you may read the history of ‘alpha’ HERE. Presently I have the information developed in ‘alpha’ placed the hands of the appropriate committee of the European Parliament with a request for parliamentary inquiry. It would be a good thing if this were allowed to be pursued without interfering with myself as a witness; over a minor civil offense (Schengen overstay.) If, as police, you have in future, uninformed supervisors set on my expulsion from the Schengen zone, I would suggest directing your supervisor to my strategy in the event of my detention, which may be read HERE. They would be well advised to refer this strategic plan (already in the hands of a lawyer) to the political persons responsible for your agency. It is entirely possible they, not only myself, would prefer not to pursue this path.

My sincere thanks are extended to those low and mid level police of Germany and Spain who have been most helpful over these several years, with informal cooperation developing information on organized crime in NATO and other institutions (and special thanks to the brave woman agents in Spain who saved my life on two occasions.)

The Arab Spring for Dummies

*

Stooge TV

Al-Jazeera TV had been the bedrock of trusted news for over a decade (since its founding) in the Arab world, until its independence touched too close to home, i.e. the Arab ‘Gulf States.’ At the point of honest reporting on Qatar’s involvement in the overthrow of Gaddafi, Qatar’s rulers asserted control over Al-Jazeera and the honeymoon with truth was over.

There is a snippet article at Wikipedia ‘Qatar-United States relations’ of which this quote is a major part:

“Qatar and the United States coordinate closely on Middle Eastern regional diplomatic initiatives”

I would point out the phrase ‘diplomatic initiatives’ in the western democracies definition includes political ‘arm twisting’ (Blackmail), threats of violence, following up with violence, out and out lies (Propaganda) and of course, the employ of information operations to make oneself out an angel and your target the devil. In this brief ‘The Arab Spring for Dummies’ (Syria edition) I set out my case for honest reporting on dishonest behaviors, or better said, expose the rank criminality of our political leaders in a state of ‘democracy’ where political lies are protected free speech.

In this interview from over a year ago, it is clear that Qatar would not have armed the so called ‘rebels’ (Blackwater trained mercenaries) without a green light from the USA.

In this Business Insider article, the tepid reporting of the neo-liberal New York Times is clarified by a writer obviously familiar with what has actually been going on, Qatar and Saudi Arabia had armed Al Qaida to the teeth with USA approval (aforementioned green light) with the UBER-RETARDED philosophy ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’

Meanwhile, Syria’s Assad has recovered the initiative and the USA, having started and now faced with supporting a losing endeavor, promises all hell will break loose and American NATO franchise muppets Britain and France strong-arm open the door to pouring weapons into the conflict (in vast amounts on top of vast amounts poured in already) and via Stooge TV the western democracies scream bloody murder at Russia for matching them tit-for-tat, claiming it threatens Israel, who has bombed Syria three times already in the present conflict, and Netanyahu, who pulls the trigger as easily as a child with a toy gun, is willing to bomb some more (the USA & ‘allies’ relationship to Netanyahu appears to be that of Eric Cartman’s mom’s parenting model; Netanyahu throws a tantrum and gets what he wants)

Finally, a Stooge TV personality, a Sunni cleric (must be sort of like a Rick Warren evangelical show) keeps the USA’s promise of all hell breaking loose by calling out to his 60,000,000 (sixty million) potential viewers to pile on Syria (and don’t worry about bringing along weapons, we’ve got plenty in the pipeline) inviting a regional sectarian war (already spilling over into Lebanon and Iraq)

Now, what do you suppose all of this might have to do with virulent Islam hater (and Blackwater founder) Erik Prince setting up a private army in Abu Dhabi? Sort of like ‘Christian Taliban’ General Patraeus setting up sectarian civil war in Iraq by training and arming Shia death squads and then training and arming Sunni ‘Awakening Councils’ that were supposed to counter Al Qaida (but that was ultimately a fairy tale)

The outcome? Let’s try calling it “It’s amazing what Uncle Sam can do in the process of biting himself in the balls” (also known as we are all going to pay for this insanity)
