there were alternatives to what happened
that is actually what our evolutionary design is, it kept the village safe, the enemies knocked up, the population under control and sufficient resources for young breeding couples when it was needed : o )
we are now in some indianization , like what happened in india during and after the raj, the young have little money at their peak breeding ability and as a consequence children are growing up subtlely malnourished and mentally impoverished, the old are living longer and retaining resource control, infant mortality is too low to permit any genetic winnowing, the species is creeping along the path of cretinization and infirmity : o )

he has diplomatically and materially damaged the west's interests
there will have also have been the deaths of some those working in the west's interests in places like afghanistan exposed by wikileaks documentation
he could have been much more limited and cautious in his publication of material, but he crossed the line into the dangerous world of espionage and counter-espionage and will be hard pressed to avoid fatal consequences for himself !
i'd be pretty sure he has killed people in afghanistan and set back the west's interest there !

didn't the russians know what would have happened if germany had made peace with england, they never forgave him and kept him locked up until he died !
i quite liked hess's vision
“ my coming to england in this way is, as i realize, so unusual that nobody will easily understand it. i was confronted by a very hard decision. i do not think i could have arrived at my final choice unless i had continually kept before my eyes the vision of an endless line of children's coffins with weeping mothers behind them, both english and german, and another line of coffins of mothers with mourning children. ”

christchurch pales into insignficance beside fukushima, it’s really interesting how incompetent their society is with this sort of problems, even the russians were better with chernobyl, i have seen figures that fukushima has emitted 8000 time the amount of radiation compared to hiroshima to date, but tepco are still trying to recover the reactor and don’t appear to be entombing it which i think is all they can do. anyway japan has a horrific cancer burden coming up !
i was reading about the japanese entry into WW2 and it’s like a farce, two of the main players, yamamoto and the emperor thought it would be the disaster for them what it was, but they both plunged ahead , the emperor was not just a figurehead btw, quite an astute ! yamamoto had spent three years at harvard !
ho chi min also spent two years in the usa !

a trillion dollars to properly entomb fukushima ?
fukushima is partially melted down and the total effect is worse than the atomic bombs dropped in WW2 though in a different way !
there's no direct casualties but a lot of genetic damage
the big difference in the assessment of radioactive damage now is not simply the external radiation dose which is how it has always been assessed, but the ingestion of radioactive particles which nuclear power plant meltdowns produce in plenty !
it’s interesting that japan despite all the intelligence of it’s race is so vulnerable to bad decision making at the top which was also it’s problem with making war on the usa in 1941
chris busby is very good and not at all FLAKY
_________________________
busby is actually making some waves in japan, newspapers are using him and he is acting as an expert witness for a town close to fukushima !
he’s saying anywhere within 200km of fukushima is very significantly impacted in terms of health damage
the japanese goverment may be about to find out about an independent judiciary and torts !
imo this new ingested radionuclide model really requires nuclear reactors several generations ahead from where they are now so that any disruption to function shuts down the reactor intrinsically and not just with added mechanisms, so if you defeat the back-up mechanisms the nuclear fuel doesn’t go into meltdown.
this is doubly important so that terrorist or enemy action on the reactor doesn’t turn them in fukushimas or chernobyl
imo the nuclear industry has already been affected and australia is feeling the loss of wealth on it’s sharemarket from this long delay in uranium as a useful electrical power source again !
this is a significant world wide economic burden and more than most things is inducting a period of economic depression and instability

i am understanding it's much more of an issue than i had previously thought, but the problem is in japan and not california or the usa
also the northern and southern hemisphere have separate weather circulations so really the impact is zero down here from a radiation point of view so i am limiting my concern
i still can't believe the japanese were so incompedent as not to tsumani proof their back up power generators , the failure of which has created the problems and all it would have taken is a few hundred grand and the cost will be trillions to them at least by now !
it's interesting that power stations can be more damaging than atomic bombs because of the sheer volume of radioactive material that can be dispersed, sorta a dirty bomb if you will and i guess this makes them very potent targets for terrorists or an enemy in war

depeleted uranium shells sound really bad news !
as does high uramium hair levels !
anyway chernobyl was an explosion of the actual reactor that went 2km high into the air and the radioactive particles got deposited over half europe depending on the winds at the time
if you have read the account of what happened it's like a farce, everybody at the plant on holiday except two engineers just out of university getting things wrong in an experiment and then shutting down the core which exploded the reactor because the fundamental physics was wrong at the design level !
in japan there has been no such explosion of the reactor and mostly the winds have gone out to sea and radioactive particles gone into seawater

years
you
might
get
a
doubling
or
tripling
of
density !
i
am
all
for
religion
as
a force
for
social
stability
that
is
when
it
is
socially
stable
which
it
always !
history
of
war
is
a
history
of

george
bush
junior
was
schizophrenic
and
intellectually
retarded
he
would
have
never
been
voted
in
if
not
for
his
father
who
really
was
quite
compedent
it's
not
generally
appreciated
george
bush
senior
advised
his
son
against
the
iraq
war !
a
generational
decline
in
american
voting
choice !
the
iraq
war
was
a
disaster
karl
rove
should
have
been
hung
drawn
and
quartered
since
it
was
his
baby !
a
hard
hitting
arsehole
his
excrement is
smeared
through
every
vet
hospital
in
the
U.S.A.
the
purpose
of
war
is
losing
your
arms
and
legs
which
is
what
iraq
seems
to
be !
there
is
always
a
cultural
ennui
of
christianity
compared
to
islam
because
of
the
failure
of
the
crusades !
in
the
same
way
ww1
and
ww2
failed
and
europeans
got
disenchanted
with
large
scale
war !
no
loot !
trouble
with
war
is
it
suits
human's
natural
abilities
too
closely
the
french
revolution
freed
the
marquis

sade !
proportional world population map
china and india are scary !
gee china is scary !
the ruling regime in china with their one child policy are doing everyone a big favour
stalin
was
an artists
and
writers
worst
dream
come
true
a
particularly
murderous
dictator
who
was
artistically
senstive
bulgakov
got
lucky
sort
of
but
most
of
the
rest
with
any
talent
didn't !
failed
dream
interrupted
by
when
stalin
got
to
hell
the
devil
brought
up
ivan
the
terrible
so
they
could
both
bow
down
before
him !
federal
governmental
systems
have a
huge
power
yet
are
monster
beautiful
woman
autistic
nightmare !
the
aridity
of
the
steppes
socialism
a
incredibly
cruel
pain
in
the
arse
system
where
a
few
men
rule
and
everyone
else
suffers
the
curtailment
of
opportunity
and
the
abandonment
of
hope
by
communism
was
born
in
the
failures
of
rabbinical
belief
and
russian
orthodox
christianity
what
an
unholy
child !
it's
a
very
violent
thing
to
impose
on
the
brain
interests
that
it
does
not
have
yet
thats
exactly
what
school
and
education
does
the
american
bombing
of
hiroshima
and
nagasaki
was
one
of
the
most
intelligent
things
they
ever
did
they
didn't
bomb
tokyo
and
kept
the
leadership
intact
and
a
coherent
goverment
that
would
be
anti
soviet !
you
may
like
the
intellectual
life
but
there's
no
money
in
it
and
poverty
is
the
sequitur
i
think
one
of
the
things
about
the
middle
ages
is
that
technology
was
static
and
there
where
huge
population
pressures
on
limited agricultural
land
hence
the
constant
warfare !
they
were
locked
into
certain
ratios
of
manual
labour
and
agricultural
output
so
that
even
the
black
death
had a limited effect on
reducing
war
since
the
other
side
of
the
equation,
that
of
manual
labour
was
reduced
stalin
was
a murderous
arsehole
does
any
more
need
to
be
said ?
the
wonders
of
communism
everyone
equally
broke
but
they
weren't
quite
were
they ?
mao
tse -
tung's
palaces
and
stalin's
country
stalin
had
good
taste
i'll
say
that
for
him
communism
replacing
religion
is
one
cult
replacing
another
leftists
are
air
heads
politicians
are
like
the
wizard
of
oz
some
front
that
gets
pushed
out
into
the
media
that
then
gets
forgotten
what
was
unusual
about
stalin
is
i
don't
think
anyone
else
would
be
as
careful
and
persistent
in
destroying
an
opponent
there
are
no
benign
communist
regimes
all
murderous
had
the
right
idea
he
shot
his
philosophy
tutor
politics -
alliances
formed
and
wars
fought
the
KGB
was
just
into
killing
men
to
make
plenty
of
women
available
for
themselves
certainly
beria's
escapades
bore
that
stamp
even
the
origins
of
the
early
church
are
not
distinct
they
are
an
evolution
from
mithraism
and
an
inwinding
of
egyptian
deities
whats
wrong
with
a
working
class
culture ?
they
are
very
anti - artistic
ignorant
and
conformist
communist
societies
are
working
class
cultures
empowered
to
murderousness
so
are
islamic
militias
i wouldn't get too hung up on corruption etc or trying to right the wrongs of the world
just be aware and careful
a lot of the problems and attitudes in the usa are due to the sheer size of companies and government, russia has a lot of the same problems
but they are an aggressive and stupid people, the contrast with canada which is much more an english culture is interesting
most
places
a
working
class
culture
is
in
control
the immigration pattern is much more eastern european
one
of
histories
greatest
philosophers
was
a
vociferous
nazi
it
made
intellectual
resistance
a
bit
difficult
what
the
failure
of
the
russian
communist
system
shows
is
that
all
the
huge
economies
of
scale
available
couldn't
compensate
for
the
bad
decision
making
at
the
top
receivership
underpins
economic
rationality
because
then
mismanagement
is
visited
with
consequences
part
of
the
problem
with
sharemarkets
during
booms
is
when
new
funds
support
underlying
mismanagement
the
reason
for
capitalism
or
the
allowance
or
forcing
of
bankruptcy
is
that
most
people
are
not
economically
rational
either
it
works
or
it
doesn't
stalin
someone
who
makes
ivan
the
terrible
look
like
a
little
mouse
i
don't
like
what
communism
does
to
artists
and
poets
it
lines
them
up
up
and
shoots
them
basically
because
it
cannot
tolerate
any
freedom
of
expression
even
nazism
did
not
do
that
hence the reality of communism is thuggish
theres
something
about
the
middle
class
that
gets
squashed
the
upper
class
and
lower
class
have
always
been
united
against
the
middle
class
democracy
the
middle
class
paying
for
the
breeding
of
the
lower
class
politicians
have
no
friends
except
expediency
the
invasion of russia
on
a
broad
front
by
the
germans
was
suicidal and bizarre
but
then ww2
always was
advertising
is
todays
propaganda
of
the
state
apparatus
which
is
democracy
it's
better
the
chinese
buy
in
than
march
in
to
australia
and
new
zealand
an individual
cannot
challenge
the
might
of
the
state
successfully
anyway
you
do
it
to
your
own
destruction
education
is
a
malignant
cancer
on
the
brain
of humanity
dumbed
down
conformist
solutions
in
a
a
box
what
else
can
you
say?
politics
has
become
more
south
american
where
the
difference
between
the parties
is
pretty
nominal
and
its
more
about
who's
in
power
great
men
are
easily
offended
is
that
because
they
are
great
or
less than great?
the
interesting
thing
about
judaism
is
how
do
you
explain
the
holocaust?
in the same
way
the crusades
killed
christianity
you
would
think
the
holocaust
killed
judaism
both
very
unsuccessful
paradigms
the
crusades
were
expensive
in
terms
of
life
and
effort
basically
they
were
just
fighting
over
a bit
of
desert
there
was
nothing
elegant
about
the
nazi's
execution
of
the
jews
not
even
a
hymn
before
death
holocast photos (disturbing!)
suppression
of
the arts
and
philosophy
is
essential
to
communism
because
it
claims
to
be artistically
and
philosophically
correct
what
that leads
to
we
all know as unbearable kitsch
entire
world
would
be
socialist
except for
the
fact
it
doesn't
work
that is,
it follows
human
behavior,
inclination
and
power
strategies
but
it
doesn't
work
its
tyranny
by
uncultured
thugs
problem with autocrats
is when
the state gets too big to be controlled by an individual
like the russian czars and the
following communists, also
autocrats
the decision making is
too
poor
hereditary autocrats are much
better
than
compedent ones
like stalin
the problem
with
stalin
is
he was
too
smart
for
everyones
good
just execute
all dissenters
one
way or
another
and thats
what
he did
his genius
hereditary autocrats are never as compedent
and
brought
up
in luxury
that can
take
a
wider
view
of
their
demise
there
was
actually
some
cultural
intelligence
before
world
war
I
the
selective
heavy
and
extraordinary
losses
of
WWI
ruined
everything
because the system
was not capable
of running
nuclear power stations
safely
several times you have seen him say, i think this is a winner about a ticket and then he wins
he offers you a ticket one day, saying he thinks it's a winner
do you accept?
all the studies say prizes are random and follow probability distributions that this friend profoundly violates
it's exactly the same as this mania for “ evidence based medicine ”
you need to look at what's happening under your nose and not just the studies
evidence based medicine really means the evidence we agree with
it is in fact a politically cultured doctrine and has some very big losers
i am the first to say studies are useful, i read them all the time, but they aid, not substitute one's own decision making
just reading on the web its very simple
france always had a problem with the local aristocracy being more powerful than the central government and they were confiscating local land without the confiscatee's having any redress
this is why this question of rights versus responsiblity comes up, the french aristocracy through its involvement in the judicary was all rights and power and no responsibility
revolution was the consequence and when the manors were sacked, the title deeds of the confiscated properties were the first thing the looters went for
in other words there was a force for centralization, not just this dispossession of land but technology and increased urbanization were also necessary or otherwise the country would have fragmented and reverted to feudal
the sheer wrong mindedness of schooling is just bizarre, i wonder if it has always been this way
you don't want to fight for its own sake, vacate under cover with maybe an effective parting shot for confusion
history is the history of disease, technology, tools and supercompetent men
history is the history of disease, technology, tools and supercompetent men
there's a good photo of stalin with his thumb on his nose waving his fingers which summed up his attitude but he was got in the end, tho at 75 he mightn't have been reluctant to go
the catastrophe of lenin and stalin was set in motion by nicholas I with his execution of the decemberists, (and he got a second chance to reverse his decision!) if he had moderated his stance, made
some concessions and started to distribute power a lot of this twentieth century catastrophe would have been avoided, but there is no remedy for human error and stupidity
they were basically fighting on improved WW1 equipment, the quantum jumps eluded them
one of the interesting problems the germans had was the loss of all their quality officers and men on the front line and the total arseholes in the ss etc. being out of the front line mainly killing jews etc. became increasingly dominant in military command as the war progressed which was the reason for the failure for germany to surrender much earlier than it did
rommel, while a good strategist and tactician had a huge personal failure by not joining the plot to kill hitler, he could have carried it off and in the end he got blamed anyway and forced to take poison, he was a fool, actually a coward
urban enviroments are a waste of time, you only lose, look at the germans and stalingrad and leningrad
the other problem is the degree of vaccine damage in the troops now, unreal to destroy the health of your troops before they get to battle
iraq was always quite managable but the americans alienated the sunnis who in fact were their natural allies, and befriended the shi'ites who are their natural enemies
stupidity at the top of the command chain always loses, napoleon in russia, hitler, pearl harbour, the list of historical failures through incompetence at the very top is endless
_____________________
the usa is sacrificing its own soldiers to keep things "nice".
i remember a while back a sergeant being court marshalled for summarily executing some enemy fighters in iraq
if you don't execute them they just go back into circulation killing more us troops
it's a mugs game being in the armed services now, if the vaccines don't get you, then the crappy command does
what impressed me about this sergeant was he seemed for real and very effective
he was not wanted and paid the price
_____________________
the usa should have never been in iraq, if hussein was brutal, that's what it took to keep the place together
i remember at the time of the iraq invasion wondering if they had made a mistake
the us had had a big success in afganistan, defeated the taliban
then it overreached itself by its invasion of iraq
this is so typical of life
the sniper skills out there are incredible
