This good news for the Ukrainian Army. The double envelopment(“pincers”) is ideal for a case where the attacker has high mobility and the defender has low mobility(Cannae: Roman Army all infantry(and poorly arrayed in a tight chaotic mass), Hannibal used his infantry to fix the Roman front and the “pincers” were his very numerous cavalry). Here the Russians have a much greater number of armored vehicles, and the Ukrainians have been fighting almost solely with infantry. This situation is ideal for a double envelopment, and had me greatly alarmed, with the possibility of the Russians concentrating on a very narrow front(schwerpunkt) punching through and getting ahead of any attempt by the Ukrainians to interfere, until it was too late and the encirclement was complete. This present situation with the Russians moving slowly, dispersed along an extended front is ideal for the way the Ukrainians have been fighting with small teams of infantry with Javelins/NLAWS and mortars, lots of mortars(and spotter drones) to strip the Russian infantry away from their tanks leaving the Russian tanks vulnerable to ATGM ambush. The Ukrainians will need trenches and bunkers to ride out the artillery storm because General Dvornikov will be using plenty. If the Ukrainians can deliver another sickener like at Kyiv and Chernihiv the Russian offensive will collapse. In that case Russia will go to a defensive posture and I don’t think the Ukrainians can lever them out, but that won’t matter because Russia will be finished as a great power.

The latest is that Lavrov is chiming in with Shoigu’s message: Russia’s goal in the war is the seizure of all the territory of Lugansk Oblast and Donesk Oblast. What a climb-down from the ultimatums of February 24: 1) Regime Change, 2) New Government Approved By Russia, 3) New Constitution Forbidding NATO Membership, 4) Demilitarization, 5) Denazification(whatever that is supposed to mean), 6) Recognition Of Crimea As Russian. However the last demand, Recognition By Ukraine Of DPR/LPR has been replaced by an escalation. It looks like Russia expects Ukraine to agree to the annexation by Russia of Lugansk Oblast and Donesk Oblast, although that has not been explicitly mentioned, it is implied. Ukraine will never agree to this and such an annexation is entirely illegal under The United Nations Charter, of which Russia is a signatory. This will lead to permanent war with The Ukraine, and the possible expulsion of Russia from its permanent seat on The Security Council.

And Frederick Maryland is ZERO miles from Fort Detrick, what point do you think you are making????

The problem with saying the missile was launched from the Russian side is the orientation of the “booster stage” found near the parking lot. The front points at the train station, the rocket exhaust end points toward Ukrainian territory. One could try arguing that the missile followed a circular trajectory, or spun as it was falling, but that would be an uphill battle. However, if it was a Ukrainian false flag, the propaganda program would have been pushed vigorously, and it wasn’t. If it was a Ukrainian false flag the spray painted slogan on the booster would have been different, more overt, like “From Russia With Love” or “Die Ukie Scum”. Instead the slogan “For The Children” sounds like Ukrainians saying “This Is Vengeance Against Russia For Killing Our Children”. I think it was a missile malfunction that went very wrong, Ukrainians won’t admit it, and blamed Russia because it’s convenient.

True, we with so little information have extreme difficulty knowing what’s going on. Certainly, using Cannae as the template, an initial frontal attack is used to “fix” the opposition so the two “pincers” can execute the double envelopment, but usually that frontal attack is limited, like the USMC frontal attack in the opening of The Kuwait War in 1991, with the big forces reserved for the “pincers”. However this attack is high intensity, it feels like the main attack to me. It is the second day and no sign of the jump-off of the north and south pincer. The only reason I have talked about the double envelopment is because all the retired US generals on TV, Petraeus, Clarke, etc, have been promoting this prediction, so it has to be considered as a topic of discussion. Russia already tried a complex four spearhead operation at the beginning of the invasion of The Ukraine and fell flat on its face, so they are thinking don’t try that again, go for a simple direct crude plan that is within their capabilities, also this is in line with General Dvornikov’s style. Certainly I could be totally wrong here and tomorrow the double envelopment could start. I think they are aiming here for the certainty of occupying the entirety of Lugansk Oblast and Donesk Oblast so they can declare victory, then negotiate and end to the war where Russia keeps some territory and withdraws from some. Russia knows The Ukraine doesn’t have the military strength to force them out, nor the economic strength to endure an endless war. Defense Minister Shoigu has issued a statement that Russia’s plan to liberate Oblasts Lugansk/Donesk is proceeding methodically and that The West is trying to prolong Russia’s “special operation”. Translated, that means Russia has radically downsized its ambitions and desperately needs a quick finish.

Your memory does not serve you at all. Springfield Virginia is the location of the nursing home. Washington DC, Baltimore, Alexandria Virginia, and Hagerstown Maryland are all closer to Frederick Maryland, the location of Fort Detrick, than Springfield Virginia. No “mysterious outbreak” in Frederick Maryland either. Godfrey Roberts already humiliated himself over this goofy “theory” two years ago, and you are still shilling it???

The Ukrainians say the offensive is on a front of 480 kilometers, and that Russia has taken the small town of Kreminna(pop 18,000) after pounding it flat with aerial bombing and artillery, the Ukrainian army withdrawing to avoid the bombardment. Kreminna is in western Lugansk Oblast at the extreme east of the salient. Another small unnamed town was taken as well. Otherwise no major successes. It doesn’t look like Russia is trying the double envelopment(pincer) tactic to create an encirclement of the eastern salient, but rather a direct frontal assault on the eastern edges of the salient. This could be an attempt to over-extend the Ukrainian Army and cause a collapse in the front facing Lugansk and Donetsk, or merely a grinding action to gain more territory. I don’t think the Russians feel their army is capable of the tactical sophistication of the double envelopment and this crude frontal assault seems more General Dvornikov’s style.

As I wrote, I can feel the hesitancy of the top commanders from here, but your comment has me rethinking the mindset of Putin’s commanders and I agree with you that “some of them ARE having grave…doubts about all this”, and you are totally correct about the Russian junior officers and the feedback loop that could lead to Russian command paralysis. In that light I searched General Alexandr Dvornikov, who has recently been promoted to overall commander of the war. There are a number of photos of the promotion ceremony, and the look on his face is shocking compared with photos from 2017. The tough, self confident, totally in control Dvornikov of 2017 is gone, now his face looks like a man staring down a highway watching a Mack truck roaring towards him to squash him flat. I agree with your prediction of a stalemate. I think that’s the best The Ukraine can get. I don’t think The Ukraine has the strength to go on the offensive to drive Russia out if Russia choses to assume a defensive posture and squat on whatever territory it has gained. But that would be a bleeding ulcer for Russia and would result in a worse fate for Russia than trading its meager territorial gains for going back to the status quo pre-invasion. All Russia cares about is keeping Crimea. But that might result in the resignation of Putin. The invasion of The Ukraine is a total disaster for Russia that will result in The Ukraine joining the EU and Sweden, Finland and The Ukraine all joining NATO.

All true, except this is not the time to become complacent and careless, but treat the imminent Russian offensive with deadly seriousness. After being driven out of Kiyv and the Northeast followed by the sinking of Moskva, Putin and Russia are desperate but also have entered a psychological state of delusional denial. Notice that Andrew Anglin has gone silent on the sinking of Moskva, meanwhile “The Two Andres”, Raevsky and Martyanov are maniacally flapping their hands and squeaking that the sinking of Moskva “doesn’t matter”, and the defeat suffered by Russia in North Ukraine was actually a brilliant “feint”, with the Rooski Fanboy commentariat joining in in chorus. They mirror the mindset of Putin and his commanders. Russia is now in a similar position to Germany in 1943 just before The Battle of Kursk. As at Kursk the choice is go apeshit in a last all or nothing offensive or admit defeat. As at Kursk, the generals are not confident, you can feel their hesitancy, and they are correct, but the maximum leader, in this case not Hitler but Putin, drives them on. The offensive should have started a week ago, every day it is delayed means the Ukrainians are more prepared and better equipped by The West. Notice how the tactical layout of this coming Russian offensive resembles The Battle of Kursk. You have the “salient” in the Donbass, with the promise of an encirclement achieved by a “pincer” from the north driving south to meet a “pincer” from the south driving north. This resemblance is an ill omen for Russia, and the history of war is full of such spooky omens, a good general takes them seriously. The Ukrainians should fight a defensive battle that seeks, if it cannot blunt the Russian spearheads, to channel them west so they can’t link up, or better yet, both. A smaller scale attack on the west flank of each Russian spearhead will force the Russian spearhead commander to divert troops and his attention, increasing his anxiety, and further blunt the Russian attack.

The black cheerleader was murdered in Mount Vernon, 60% black, by another black, who also stabbed another black female age 15. This incident is not unusual for this area, the Hudson Valley communities just north of NYC. It got press because it was solved quickly by tracing the killer’s cell phone location. Most of these killers go uncharged despite knowledge of the attackers identity because witnesses fear violent retaliation. Relatives of the victims even fear to visit the crime scene to light a candle because they fear being attacked in the neighborhood by friends of the killer. The entire area is infested with gangs with charming names like Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation. Most of the attacks and killings are not “business related” but merely idiotic social beefs. The Mount Vernon attack was gang related, and an idiotic social beef. Wherever blacks go they bring The Heart Of Darkness with them, and yet are so lacking in self-reflection, such low intelligence, with overinflated ego, they appear genuinely perplexed at why The Horror rolls on. Joseph Conrad’s “Kurtz”, immersed in The Horror saw with clarity the only realistic solution: “EXTERMINATE THE BRUTES!!!”

Rooski Fanboyz have turned The Unz Review comments section into sewage.

Stop lying. RT is most definately not banned in Canada. I want in RT just now to check. I don’t have a VPN.

I downloaded the French IFOP poll. Nowhere does it ask the question “do you support Russia in its invasion of The Ukraine?”. So your assertion that 52% of the French population supports Russia in its invasion of The Ukraine is false. What the poll actually says is considerably different than your assertions: only 22% of the French polled believe that the Russian invasion is justified by the risks that would be incurred by Russia if The Ukraine joined NATO.

The Ukraine is not “acceding to Russian demands”. When Russia invaded The Ukraine it presented six ultimatums: 1)Regime Change with a new government approved by Russia, 2) a new constitution with a clause forbidding The Ukraine from joining NATO, 3) Demilitarization, 4) Denazification, 5) recognition of Crimea as Russian territory, 6) recognition of Donetsk and Lugansk as independent(without clarifying if that meant DPR/LPR or Donetsk Oblast/Lugansk Oblast). These were presented as ultimatums, not initial terms of a negotiation to end the invasion. Russia did not intend to end the invasion until The Ukraine had been defeated and occupied. These ultimatums were presented as the minimum demands for Russia to leave The Ukraine’s territory. In Russia’s cracked brain there were to be no negotiations. Once Russia realized the invasion had failed they agreed to Ukrainian proposals for a negotiated settlement to end the war. The first four ultimatums have been rejected outright by The Ukraine and Russia has not pressed for those to even be starting points of negotiations, a major climb-down by Russia and a sure sign of Russia’s abject failure. The first four Russian ultimatums are dead. The Ukraine has proposed “neutrality”, on the condition of security guarantees by a set of third party nations. “Neutrality” does not mean “demilitarization”. After defeating this idiotic Russian invasion there is no way The Ukraine will give up its Armed Forces, no nation would. The Ukraine has stated it is open to discussing the possibility of a pledge to not seek NATO membership, and to start talks about the status of Crimea and Donesk/Lugansk.

You actually believe the comments section of The Crapyard Of The Faker has any credential???
The statements about the Javelin missile are categorically false. The Javelin is not being “phased out” nor has it demonstrated “dismal performance”. “Thousands of Javelins” have not been supplied to The Ukraine. Out of the 17,000 anti-tank missiles so far supplied to The Ukraine, only a few hundred have been Javelins. This is because the Europeans initially led the supply effort. Two appropriations bills out of Congress have commited the US to supply about 4,600 Javelins in the near future, along with Stingers. The Ukrainians have requested as many Javelins as they can get, why would they request a missile with “dismal performance”??? The Javelin missile has been proven in combat numerous times before the Russian invasion of The Ukraine. The NLAW is also excellent, and has been used with devastating effect on Russian tanks, but the chief advantage of the Javelin is that it has about 3 times the range of the NLAW, and so putting troops at much less risk. You must close to about 600 yards with the NLAW, putting the operator at risk from snipers and heavy machine guns.
More crap from the minions of The Faker regarding the F-22. First of all they aren’t being “scrapped”, but put in storage. These are 33 of the Block 20 F-22s that were built as trainers, they have never been assigned to combat squadrons, which fly the Block 30, Block 35, and Block 40. It is all about budget allocation. The Block 20s could be upgraded, but that would cost 2 billion dollars. That money is being reallocated to upgrade the combat F-22s with new sensors.
The USAF has moved on to the Next Generation Air Dominance program anyway(AKA “6th Generation Fighter”). The F-22 will remain in service until replaced by that system, which wont be long.
I do read the ever nauseating Crapyard Of The Faker to get the lastest delusional anti-American propaganda and have noticed the past ten days Andrei”The Faker”Raevsky has become quieter and quieter. Gone is the bellowing of “Russia will roll over ‘Country 404’ in 72 hours”. He started to take days off. The latest news from the negotiations has completely shut The Faker’s mouth. The Faker knows that Russia is losing the war and losing the negotiations.

I only have a cell phone and it “doesn’t permit me to make paragraphs.”

Kenneth Franklin Shinzato is a NEGRO. Real surname Gadson.

The claim on the wikipedia article(Kinzhal invisible to active radar systems) that you have blockquoted is unsupported by the citations.

Meanwhile, back in The Real World….Russia has caved in negotiations.

I do not own a computer, I only have a cell phone and it doesn’t permit me to make paragraphs. “My Deepest Apologies”. I made my argument succinctly and with crystal clarity refuted the gibberish in your comment point by point. Thanks for conceding.

The fissile components for Little Boy and Fat Man were not completed until the the last week of July, 1945. Therefore months too late for use on Germany. Get your facts straight before you make stupid assertions. You will need citations regarding the “8 five star generals”. I have spent a few days checking and find no support to your assertion. In any case, the five star generals were not party to the decision making process, they were personally informed of the decision to use the A-Bomb in February 1945. Nimitz, Halsey, and Arnold supported using the A-Bomb. Leahy claims in his memoirs he objected to Truman, but there is zero written, or witnessed oral objection, on the record. Marshall didn’t object but prefered a wholly military target. Eisenhower didn’t offer an opinion, but was somewhat uneasy. MacArthur seemed to only care he got his precious invasion of Honshu. King had retired in December 1944. So your assertion that 7 out of 8 five star generals objected to using the bomb goes straight to the trash. On August 6th Japan had certainly not “retreated to its home islands”. Japan still held all the vast territory it had seized from China, and the Chinese were not retaking anything. The Soviets did not attack Japan until August 7th. Japan had been blockaded for 10 months at this point, with almost nothing crossing The Straits of Tsushima from Korea. There is volumous evidence from Japanese records that preparations for a finish fight on the Home Islands were in progress and the military element in the Japanese government, which had a stranglehold on Cabinet, viewed surrender as out of the question.

All too aware of that topic, but your cited incident is totally new to me. This stuff started early. At Midway, captured US airman were stuffed into 55 gallon oil drums and tossed overboard to their deaths. At Guadalcanal, captured Marines were brought to within earshot of American lines and tortured to death slowly so American Marines could hear their comrades screaming. Thousands more similar incidents. The cannibalism by Japanese troops was common and hushed up after the war. There is an interesting Japanese documentary film The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On, that is a must see, that deals with a tiny part of the cannibalism issue. There is the mass slave labor program, with maybe 10% survivors, the deliberate starvation program of civilians in Viet Nam in the last year of the war…the list goes on and on.

Japan had not been “trying to surrender for several weeks”, your language is totally dishonest. The Japanese ambassador asked the USSR to transmit a request to The United States to begin negotiations to modify the Potsdam Declarations. That was it. There was no offer of surrender by the Japanese. The USSR played coy but never transmitted. Yes, The United States was aware through radio intercepts, so what, what point do you imagine you are making? If the Japanese were serious about surrender they could have done what they did on August 15, 1945, have the Emperor broadcast a surrender message. It worked perfectly on August 15th, it would have worked any other time as well.

I wasn’t expecting this article to be interesting, because of the title, but quickly found it to be, and not at all a tedious read despite its length because of the highly concentrated information and fascinating narrative. Your article should be required reading for anyone seeking a career in political campaign management or students of political science. The lessons taught by this article are perhaps unique in American election campaign history particularly as this narrow issue was tested in multiple “diverse” jurisdictions over a short time frame. Pure gold for a serious scholar of American elections.

When Emperor Hirohito’s recorded edict of unconditional surrender was broadcast August 15, he specifically mentioned the atomic bomb as a reason for surrender. Since the recorded surrender edict was broadcast 6 days after the Nagasaki strike it is dishonest to attempt to argue that Hiroshima and Nagasaki had nothing to do with Japan’s surrender.

I am aware of that alternative theory, however when Emperor Hirohito broadcast his recorded edict of unconditional surrender on August 15 he specifically mentioned the atomic bomb but made no mention of the entry of the USSR in the war. The USSR had a miniscule amphibious capability and was in no position to mount a significant amphibious assault of the Japanese Home Islands.

The Atomic Bomb was intended for Germany, but was not ready by the time of Germany’s surrender on May 6th 1945. The only reason the A-bomb was used was the alternative was an amphibious invasion of the Japanese Home Islands. Contrary to what the anti-American crackpots baselessly assert, Japan made zero attempts to surrender until immediately after the two nuclear strikes. In July 1945, Japan had moved six Divisions into the southern tip of Kyushu to reinforce the three divisions already emplaced in an extensive bunker network. This was in expectation of the American amphibious assault of Kyushu to seize flat land for airfields to support the landings on Honshu. The entire Kyushu operation would take place on a tiny area of three peninsulas at the extreme SE tip of Kyushu, and no farther. American planners knew of the three Japanese divisions, so originally nine American divisions were to be sent in. The new Japanese defense of nine divisions, which American planners became aware of in late July, would have required 27 American divisions. The Japanese had prepared a force of up to 1,000 kamikaze aircraft to attack the Kyushu landing fleet. In the horrific battles of Peleliu, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa(and others less well known) the Japanese had been able to inflict a 1:1 casualty rate against United States forces(although Japanese casualties were nearly 100% dead and American casualties were dead+wounded). Therefore the Kyushu operation would have resulted in as many as 90,000 American casualties of the landing force. The casualties from the mass kamikaze attacks are not included. This for an operation to seize a tiny part of Kyushu. The invasion of Honshu would have been many times as large, with perhaps 500,000 casualties of the landing force. Little discussed is the affect on Japanese civilians in the event of a landing on Honshu. With Kyushu the landings were to seize a tiny area so the small number of civilians affected would have been evacuated to other areas of Kyushu that would not be affected by the war. In Honshu, there was no place for civilians to go except the mountains where there were no cities no shelter no food. Additionally the Japanese military intended to press gang civilians into mass banzai suicide attacks. The United States had already witnessed the Japanese military using civilians as human shields on Okinawa and on Saipan forcing civilians to commit suicide. A campaign on Honshu would have seen an amplification of these sinister practices and on a gigantic scale. The campaign on Honshu was expected to last to the end of 1946. With no summer harvest in 1946 for the defenders, the last six months of the Honshu campaign would have been an abyss of horror for Japan. These are the conditions the American planners had to face when considering whether to use the atomic bomb, which offered a high probability for a quick end to the war. Do you get it now “littlereddott”??????

In Russian tanks with an autoloader both the commander and gunner are in the turret surrounded by the main gun ammo, which is stored vertically in a carrousel concentric with the “turret ring”. Haven’t you noticed the photos from the Russian invasion of The Ukraine showing numerous Russian tanks with the turret blown off? That is the result of the ammo “cooking off” after a hit to the hull side, below the turret, throwing the turret in the air. Crew can’t get out, makes me ill thinking about it. The Ukrainians know how to use their ATGMs. The M1 Abrams stores ammo in the turret “bustle”, projecting from the rear of the turret. The “bustle” can be jettisoned away from the tank in the event of a hit. Ammo is separated from the interior by a steel door that cannot be left open. Best system. The Chinese copied it. The T-14 Armata is not in service and not in production and has missed every deadline for test batches. The T-14 engine program has been cancelled for unstated deficiencies. No engine, no tank. The Russians have, at most, 12 “test batch” Armatas, don’t know what engine those 12 are using, perhaps that’s why one broke down in parade in public. The T-14 uses the same turret ring carrousel to store ammo, one hit will cook off the ammo and destroy the tank. Crew is better protected though. You are delusional regarding “minimal” Russian casualties. I certainly do not believe Ukrainian government claims or some of the higher claims in the MSM, but neither do I believe Russian claims. The truth is somewhere in between. Russian MOD claims of Ukrainian dead are absurd. Same for alleged Russian territorial gains, somewhere between what Russia claims and what the BBC claims. That is bad news for Russia. Russia invaded The Ukraine intending to win, and it is not winning. Russia is not being “careful”, Russia is failing. But Russia hasn’t “lost” yet, nor is Ukraine “winning”, but Ukraine isn’t “losing”. Bad, very bad for Russia, and worse for Vlad.

The Barcelona Sewage story is from 2019, not 2018. After finding SARS-CoV2 in wastewater samples from January 15, 2020, 41 days before the first case in Spain, Spanish authorities decided to test wastewater from earlier dates. They tested samples from 2018 and 2019, ALL negative except ONE DAY, March 12, 2019. They used a PCR Test, and tested for three genes. On the March 12, 2019 sample they got a positive for one of the three genes. It took 39 cycles to get this result, described by the team as “low level”. They said they “screened for two regions of this gene”, whatever that means. It should be noted that the block of frozen wastewater used for March 12, 2019 had been handled previously to obtain samples to test for other viruses. The team did not include the March 12, 2019 test result in their report as it was an outlier needing repeat testing. Since that first story two years ago nothing else has appeared in the media confirming the test result. The story has just died. Good for click bait, the media is fine with that. Best explanation of the March 12, 2019 outlier is it was a false positive or a contaminated sample.

The Chinese military has never claimed it can hit a moving Naval target at sea with a DF21D ballistic missile, and with good reason, because it cannot. There is zero evidence of any tests, successful or unsuccessful, of the DF21D against a moving Naval target. We can have that discussion about the difference between an “indirect fire” ballistic missile, most of its flight unpowered; and a “direct fire” missile like the Exocet, powered throughout its flight if you like, but you don’t want that. BTW, the Exocet is an excellent system, but in The Falklands War, out of seven launches, there were three misses.

Ukraine doesn’t have to negotiate because Russia is losing the war. Russia has already given up on their demands of Regime Change, “De-Nazification”(whatever that is), and Demilitarization. Lavrov is now only demanding “neutrality”, (as Pepe Escobar sheepishly acknowledged in this article), gone is any demand Ukraine make a binding agreement not to join NATO. Nothing says failure like starting out with an extreme ultimatum, then suddenly dropping it, and Russia has failed comically. Why can’t you understand why the war is still going on??? Russia started it by invading Ukraine and Ukraine will continue to fight the invader. Ukrainian nationalism has jelled and any internal conflicts no longer exist: it is the Ukrainian people against the Russian invader. Russia started this war with every advantage, complete tactical surprise, superiority in numbers, and zero Ukrainian troops deployed opposite Russia’s spearheads. All the hype here at TUR about the awesomeness of the the Russian Army and when it comes to the test The Russian Army reveals itself as a third rate military act.

The DF21D is the only model touted as an anti-ship ballistic missile. There are no DF21E…F…G…or H models. You would not have to make any effort at all to find media accounts if China had hit a moving Naval target with a DF21D. Not only would such a test be impossible to keep secret as it would have to be conducted in The South China Sea, but the Chinese government would not want to keep it secret, in fact they would be bellowing news of their success at maximum volume 24/7. The fact is the Chinese military has never claimed a successful test against a moving Naval target, or any test at all against a moving Naval target.

Can’t stay on the subject can you, “Truth Vigilante”??? The Chinese military have NEVER claimed the DF21D ballistic missile can hit a moving Naval target at sea, NEVER. There are ZERO demonstrations of a DF21D ballistic missile hitting moving Naval targets at sea, ZERO. To accomplish that feat, which even The United States does not claim to have achieved, would require extensive tests with multiple failures before attaining capability. If the Chinese military have never claimed to have this capability, and have never conducted the tests to prove it, why should I take your claims seriously??? Regarding the performance of the French Exocet in The Falklands and Millenium Challenge 2002, you are equally in error but I don’t feel like dealing with that now. But I will if you are stupid enough to challenge me, go right ahead. IN THE MEANTIME, show me that the Chinese have successfully hit a moving Naval target with a DF21D…even without any American countermeasures, which are extensive…anything will do…but you can’t because you have nothing…GO AHEAD SHOW ME.

Kool story bro….

China has NEVER demonstrated a hit on a moving Naval target with the DF21D, or any other ballistic missile. NEVER. If they had they would be crowing about it at maximum volume. Until they demonstrate the capability, they don’t have it. To achieve that capability would require multiple exercises with numerous initial failures before achieving the capability. There is no evidence of even one attempt. Not. Even. One. Attempt. The Chinese yackity yack about “carrier killer” ballistic missiles is bullshit.

NO THEY CANNOT, and never will. Never been tested for that capability, and will never achieve it anyway. You really don’t get it. You are dreaming. Hypersonic missiles cannot receive initial guidance nor use onboard radar/sensors for terminal guidance. That is what is required, along with “kill chain” tracking, to hit a Naval target at sea with a non-nuclear warhead, and that is the accuracy required to wage realistic Naval War. Wikipedia is merely bullshitting. China is trying(fruitlessly) to achieve enough accuracy to use a nuclear warhead against a Carrier Battle Group, but believe me, The Slope doesn’t want to go there, but they are certainly stupid enough to try. Nimitz and Ford Class carriers are designed to survive a nuclear strike and continue air operations. If The Slope trys to go nuclear in a Naval conflict they will find out what HELL is.

Dozens of Ontario Trucking Businesses Shut Down Following Freedom Convoy Protests

The Ontario Ministry of Transportation has reportedly shut down 39 trucking businesses for their part in the Freedom Convoy protests. (Truck News)

Another 27 seizure orders were issued outside of the province, which effectively bans operators from using a commercial vehicle in Ontario.

“In an effort to preserve future police investigations into the illegal occupation in Ottawa, the ministry will not release the names of affected businesses at this time,” a ministry spokesperson said.

10,000% Truth, And More. I watched your linked jootoob video. Unbelievable that American-Chinese skier twat participated in that atrocity. A half-assed male nigger-ape with his arm around an Asian girl, then she turns to check out another male nigger-ape. It is totally totally divorced from reality and totally satanic.

The DF21, or any other “hypersonic missile”, cannot hit a moving Naval target. Sorry to burst your fantasy bubble, but that is the truth.

I would be interested to know what you think the rationale for Serbia voting “yes” might be. I expected Serbia to vote “abstention”. The “yes” vote is surprising, that’s why I mentioned it. I doubt many people have noticed it. Is it because Russia recognized DPR/LPR and that resembled recognizing the secession of Kosovo?

The Indian dude couldn’t figure out which one was “Mr McAdams”. Forget India, just as insane as China, just as arrogant, just as incompetent. Nothing but garbage from “The Global South”.

I should be “jewish”??? Wow…that really hurts, “annamaria”, you should know me better than that now. I am not taking sides here. I am talking about how you conduct yourself in a dirty street-fight. Have you ever faced three assholes in a dark parking lot that want to kick your ass??? I have. More than once, and they have never kicked my ass. Not saying I won, but I did not lose… do you understand the difference “annamaria”??? The Faker is an idiot, a worthless imbecile that lives in New Smyrna Beach Florida while shitting on The United States. I am a true son of North Florida and The Faker does not have my permission to live in North Florida. Putin walked into the trap and now Russia will pay The Price. Russia has a way out…join in the coalition to “contain” China.

The UNGA Uniting For Peace Resolution has NOTHING TO DO with Russia recognizing LPR/DPR. The Resolution is solely about condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a clear unambiguous violation of The United Nations Charter, and Serbia voted “yes”. The relevance of Serbia is not it’s world status, but that it …was…a staunch ally of Russia. Sanctions have just begun, the other nations “on the fence” right now will fall into line, they have to. UN sanctions can only come from a UNSC Resolution, which Russia will veto. A veto will further isolate Russia. Further UNGA Uniting For Peace Resolutions calling for sanctions will follow. All countries opposing, like China, will be isolated. China showed no spine, it merely voted “abstention”. If it had spine it would have voted “no”. The hamfisted stupidity of Russia is laughingly absurd. The smart practice for Russia would have been maintaining the status quo. Ukraine would have never become part of the EU or NATO, and it would have been hobbled by the bleeding ulcer of the DPRs, now Ukraine might very well be part of both. Moldova is coming on side, why not Ukraine? Instead Russia went Full Retard. To win, Russia had to win, and win totally, in the first week. Now Russia is bogged down. Russia will be taken apart piece by piece. Russia’s only alternative will be to join The West in containing China.

52 nations did not vote “no” for the UNGA Uniting For Peace Resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Only 5 voted “no”. Two of those, Russia and Belarus are perpetrators of the invasion, the other three are North Korea, Syria, and Eritrea. 13 nations were “not present” for the vote. 1 nation, Venezuela, could not vote because of failure to pay UN dues for the past two years. 34 nations voted “abstention”. Wikipedia and the MSM have falsely reported 35 “abstention” by placing Equitoral Guinea in this category when actually it was “not present”. The bar is high for passing an UNGA Uniting For Peace Resolution, a 2/3rds majority is required, although I don’t know if that is 2/3rds of those nations present or 2/3rds of the 193 UN Member States. That would be 120 votes if the former, 130 votes if the latter. Clearly, about 3/4 of the world’s nations voted to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Of the former Soviet Republics in Central Asia, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan were “not present” for the vote. Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan were “abstention”. Serbia voted “yes” to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Serbia voted “yes” for the UNGA United For Peace Resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

“Aggression is a relative term”, in your mind, but that is entirely irrelevant in the real world. All that matters is the definition of aggression according to The United Nations Charter. When Russia invaded Ukraine, Russia walked into the trap. It is all over for Russia. China, in its smug idiocy, is neither opposing nor supporting Russia. China sees it as a win-win. Russia becomes more of a junior partner in the Sino-Russo Alliance and lots more Siberian lumber pours into China, plus cheaper natural gas and more Chinese leases in Siberia. China not too bright. China is the real target here. With the idiotic invasion of Ukraine the present Russian government must collapse and realign. Russian sovereignty will remain. This might take awhile. Meanwhile all barriers to Ukraine becoming part of the EU and NATO have vanished. Next Russia. A matter of time. Without Russia the ambitions of China are finished.

Many thanks for that link. The videographer is an idiot, and I had to watch the video many times, but I disagree that half the chamber stayed to listen to Minister Lavrov. I counted, at most, thirty people that stayed(during the video). That would mean LESS THAN ONE IN FIVE remained. One was Brazil, which has stated it will be neutral, for now, because of fertilizer imports from Russia, that will change believe me. I saw no “coordination” among those who walked out on Minister Lavrov. This is a disaster for Russia. For a civilisation with a 1,000 year history, the hamfisted stupidity of Russians always astounds me. The United Nations Charter is explicit, aggressive war and invasion of a sovereign nation state obligates all United Nations member States to stand in solidarity against the aggressor. I am an American, and I understand how The United States has pushed the UN Charter to its limits, but we always have our legal back covered. The arrogant idiots of the world think Americans are stupid, but when it comes to gangsterism, and a whole lot more, no one else on the planet is smoother than an American. Russia however is in the little league and has hoisted itself on its own petard by invading Ukraine. There is no way out for Russia.

The T-14 Armata is not deployed nor in serial production. Every delivery deadline since 2017 has been missed, despite ever smaller numbers promised. Russia likely has no more than seven Armatas. These appear to be experimental models with a non-standard engine as the T-14 engine development program has been cancelled due to unspecified failures. There is no evidence a T-14 Armata production line is even in the earliest stage of being set up.

Why does the one guy that is “leaving the building” have to walk through a metal detector, but not the crowd “entering” the building? Why are two security guards stationed at the “exit”, but none at the “entrance”?

Darrell Brooks’ trial has not yet occured. He pleaded “not guilty” to 77 counts including 6 charges of 1st degree murder. His, duty counsel, lawyer has asked for a change of venue and a change of judge. Darrell Brooks will be convicted and the anti-White media will do its best to ignore it. Of course no “hate crime” charges or President Brandon shooting his mouth off…If any “analysis” is done Darrell Brooks’ crime will be blamed on “white supremacy”.

A small national flag of Afghanistan is displayed by the soldier in the foreground. Looks like two more Afghanistan flags in the background. These are Afghanistan National Army troops, not soldiers of any NATO member nation. Bizarre the author chose this photo to head his article.

You have posted the leonard r jaffe nonsense previously, it is irrelevant. As is clear on the video of Floyd’s arrest, he complained “I can’t breathe” while in the squad car before he was ever in restraint by Officer Chauvin. This is indicative of the peculiar nature of Fentanyl, in contrast to a natural opiate like Heroin, that makes it such a dangerous drug. With Heroin, an addict’s tolerance to the euphoric effects and the respiratory suppressive effects are proportional. That is an addict can take larger and larger doses without dying. What kills you in an overdose is the respiratory suppressive effect. With Fentanyl, an addict will take larger and larger doses to get the same “high”, the euphoric effect, because of increasing tolerance, but will not build a proportional tolerance for the respiratory suppressive effect. This is called “differential tolerance”. George Floyd thought he could swallow his whole stash because he was used to taking a high dose but did not realize he lacked the same tolerance for the effect on his breathing, the respiratory suppressive effect. In an overdose of a natural opiate like Heroin, the addict “nods off” heavily, losing consciousness while his breathing is shutting down. An overdose is obvious to a casual observer. Not so with Fentanyl. Floyd was conscious and not feeling overly “high”, that is “nodding off”, losing consciousness, while his breathing was shutting down. There was nothing to indicate to an observer that Floyd was overdosing, and he didn’t tell anyone he had swallowed a gigantic amount of Fentanyl. The arresting Constables were preoccupied by Floyd’s resisting arrest behavior. The trial of Derek Chauvin was a hideous dishonest kangaroo court.

Gawd, are you back with your idiocy Loup-Bouc???? George Floyd died because of the “differential tolerance to the respiratory suppressive effects versus the euphoric effects of fentanyl” as contrasted with the same effects of the conventional opiates. George Floyd complained “I can’t breathe” while in the squad car resisting arrest. Officer Chauvin, nor anybody else restricted St. Floyd’s breathing. St. George would have died despite any medical intervention. I have been over this issue with you, Loup- Bouc, extensively, just give it up.

Yeah, not one close up of Brian Jones, who invented The Rolling Stones. Like Bill Wyman said: “The name The Rolling Stones was Brian’s, everything was Brian’s”. Plenty closeups of those two talentless posers Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Mick and Keith who you don’t even notice in the early PR photos, but Brian shines like the star he always was. Who stole the copyright of the name The Rolling Stones from the murdered Brian Jones??? Who stole the copyright of songs like Ruby Tuesday, written by Brian Jones??? Who murdered Brian Jones, who benefited from his murder??? The Big Lie. Are you gonna post about the Russian Army armoured vehicle that swerved to roll over a civilian Ukrainian automobile crushing it and it’s driver inside??? Are you gonna post about Russian Army vehicle’s drive by shootings of Ukrainian civilians walking the streets of their own country???

How does Putin “escape this trap”??? Very easily, simply do not have regular Russian Army troops cross into DPR Donesk/DPR Lugansk ON A LARGE SCALE. Then The United Nations Charter would kick in and all would be lost for Russia and the DPRs. Not necessary anyway, Ukraine failed to reduce Donesk/Lugansk in 2014, and failed to renew the offfesive in 2015 and hasn’t taken the initiative since. DPR Donesk/DPR Lugansk has been de facto independent since then, and time is on the DPR’s and Russia’s side. Every year the DPRs fight they get sharper. Russia has plenty of deniable options: logistical support(food, uniforms, boots, body armor, tents and bivvy bags, radios, binoculars and night vision, rifle optics and ammunition, you name it, DPRs got it), resupply, repair, and replacement of DPR heavy equipment. Intelligence and targeting information(BOTH CRITICAL!!!). Special Forces training, command, advisory, and organizational support of DPR troops. Russian Special Forces operating manpads, anti armor teams, sniper teams on DPR territory, antiaircraft missiles and artillery support from Russian territory, air dominance operations over the DPRs, medical evacuation, surgical hospitals and long term care, the list is endless. It is unlikely to be necessary, but the Russian Army could conduct quick decisive interventions at the battalion level, then return to Russia. That would be deniable. Really all Russia has to do is maintain the status quo. In two years it will be 10 years since the DPRs separated from Ukraine, every year makes Ukraine’s claims more irrelevant.

It went much deeper than anything a goyim could know. There was a place “The Green Iguana” a space rented by a fellow Jew, located on Markham Street( AKA “Mirvish Village”). A nice space, a whole house converted, illegally from residential to commercial. Merely a front for drug dealing. Dealt in Nepali gold stamp hashish smuggled into Canada by some Montreal Jews that operated a phony “drive away” operation that transited Winnebagoes into Canada from the USA. Very low key and long term. A smooth operation. The guy that operated “The Green Iguana” once bragged to me how Ed Mirvish visited his place and remarked “I hear you can buy anything you want here”. Like that line from “Alice’s Restaurant”. “Darryl”, who operated “The Green Iguana” took that to mean he had permission from Ed Mirvish to continue drug dealing in “Mirvish Village”. From Jew to Jew to Jew, Winnebagoes to Darryl to Ed, so cozy.

It is not merely Israel, but the jewish consortium worldwide, they protect each other, and the criminal behavior is at every level, from the most petty to large scale Ponzi schemes like Madoff. I offer an example from Toronto Canada. The well known “Honest Ed Mirvish”. Ed Mirvish was a guy who ripped offed his customers without mercy while mocking them with goofy discount promotions of $1.99 turkeys and signs in his store: “Just Don’t Stand There, Buy Something”. Everything in his shitty store was substandard merchandise that was illegal for sale but offered at a slight discount to the chumps “Honest Ed” despised. Ed Mirvish was in bed with the Mafia, 100%. That was Honest Ed’s scam, manufacturers would have a run of substandard product. They would deduct that from income, then the Mafia would pay cash and hand it over to Honest Ed for disposal. Everything in Honest Ed’s was defective. Rancid butter. Light bulbs with half the pack defective. Toilet paper wound wrong so the perforations don’t line up. Hot plates that break down two weeks after the warranty expires. Pots and pans where the handles fall off. Phony brand name brand shampoo and conditioner. There was more sleazy stuff, too long to list here, EVERYTHING in his shitty store in fact. A phony restaurant called “Casa Lucia”. That was on Markham Street in “Mirvish Village”. A total Mafia money laundering operation. Part of Honest Ed’s deal with the Wop Mafia. NEVER any customers. I figured out the guy that ran it and he knew it and hated my guts. Just one slimy Italian clown with no emplyees who never looked concerned he never had a single customer. From 11AM to 10PM he just stood there, a smug Wop. Back of the restaurant had no regular dumpster, no grease dumpster and no cooks smoking at the back door…nothing. Once to confirm my suspicions, I went there to get a takeout cappuccino so I could get a look at the kitchen. No employees, no pots and pans, no groceries, no nothing. I have been a cook in a working restaurant kitchen and I know a phony kitchen when I see it. Worst cappuccino in the universe, I threw it out cuz I figured he spit in it. That guy really hated me. I was the only one in Mirvish Village that figured him out. After Ed Mirvish died his son David shut down “Casa Lucia”, he was sick of his Dad’s sleazy antics. I rented a tiny artists studio in Mirvish Village, that was Anne Mirvish’s project, she was a good girl, had a studio for her mediocre art there and her son David had “David Mirvish Books On Art”, a modernist construction that required tearing down several houses(the street was not commercial, I don’t know how Ed got the permits). One day I was crossing Markham St diagonally, it was a quiet street owned by Ed Mirvish, every property both sides, and I saw him crossing the same way, headed right toward me. I smiled and said “Hi!” and the look on his face was priceless. He looked at me like “Are you here to kill me?!?!!?!”. Total fear. He knew. If he was gonna be hit is would be right in the middle of Markham Street. After his mother Anne died David sold Honest Ed’s and the Markham Street properties. I would see him occasionally with his Mom when she would visit her studio, the pink building on Markham. He was dressed English style, bowler hat and expensive, but very discrete, navy blue coat. David Mirvish has been trying for years to develop the properties at King and University where the Mirvish Theatre is. He wants to build a tower, commercial plus condos with a museum to house his collection of “color field” paintings and a space donated to the Ontario College Of Art. He can’t get approval from the city and I know why, his Dad Ed Mirvish was a sleazy crook.

Yes I have seen the rifle recovered at the TSBD. The photos taken by the Dallas police are easily available on the internet. And no I am not repeating what I read in a book. This is original research on my part. It started very recently when a commenter here at TUR posted a video that showed some, but not all, of the available photos, plus the critical information of the 7.65mm bore size. Having never heard of the 7.65mm bore I was intrigued and that led me to the existence of the only cartridge in that bore size: the 7.65×53. From there I looked at rifles chambered in 7.65×53 and found the only one that resembled the Carcano 91/38 was the Mauser Model 1889, which shared with the Carcano the distinctive magazine/triggerguard assembly with the small tab of metal projecting from the front of the assembly. However, careful examination of the photos of the recovered rifle showed that although it had a similar magazine/triggerguard assembly to the Carcano and the Mauser 1889, it differed in a critical way: the assembly lacked the metal tab. It took some time but I discovered an obscure variant of the Mauser 1889 made only for the Ottoman Empire, the Mauser Model 1890 Turkish, which resembles the Mauser 1889 in every way except that the magazine/triggerguard assembly lacks that projecting small tab of metal. The Mauser 1890 Turkish matches exactly in appearance the rifle recovered at the TSBD. The Carcano 91/38 does not. It is just as simple as that, the rifle Dallas police found at the TSBD is not a Carcano 91/38, it is a Mauser Model 1890 Turkish. Like it or not, Alden, facts are facts. There is also the matter of Obstruction Of Justice commited by the FBI. The FBI took control of the rifle from Dallas police but when next seen and presented to the Warren Commission the Mauser 1890 Turkish had magically transformed into a Carcano 91/38. Tampering with evidence is Obstruction Of Justice and so the FBI is guilty of being an accessory at least but more likely guilty of Conspiracy Murder, as no one but a party to the murder would tamper with evidence of the murder weapon.

You’re talking crap again Alden. The Dallas police report described the recovered rifle as a 7.65mm Mauser. Nowhere is it described as a Carcano 91/38. As I have explained to you repeatedly in exhaustive detail, apparently to no avail, the rifle in the Dallas police photos taken at the scene cannot be a Carcano 91/38, but can, with absolute certainty, be identified as a Mauser Model 1890 Turkish, chambered in 7.65×53.

But the rifle Dallas police recovered from the sixth floor of the TSBD was not a Carcano 91/38, chambered in 6.5×52. The Dallas police report describe the recovered rifle as a 7.65mm Mauser. How do you account for that, Alden??? I have proved irrefutably that the rifle recovered by Dallas police from the sixth floor of the TSBD was, in fact, a Mauser Model 1890 Turkish, chambered in 7.65×53. How do you account for that, Alden????

You early know nothing about the Dallas police search of the sixth floor of the TSBD. Everything you wrote in your comment #157 is garbage. At least a half dozen officers, led by a senior officer, made a calm, systematic search of the room. They were not concerned about being ambushed in the least. First they found the four expended 6.5×52 cartridge cases by the window. Next they split into two groups and began searching the large number of cardboard boxes stacked in the room. They quickly found a rifle and spent a leisurely period examining it and photographing it from many angles. The written report by the Dallas police stated clearly the recovered rifle was a “7.65mm Mauser”. The police report did not mention a Carcano 91/38 rifle, which is chambered in 6.5×52. Only one cartridge was ever designed in the highly unusual 7.65mm bore size: the 7.65×53. Of the 14 models of military bolt action rifles manufactured in the 7.65×53 chambering, only one, the Mauser Model 1890 Turkish is identical to the rifle Dallas police recovered from the sixth floor of the TSBD.

Please state the comment number where I claim the gun used to murder Office Tippet was not Oswald’s. But you can’t, because I have made no such claim. In fact, I have never written anything on the Office Tippet murder, it doesn’t interest me.

The irrefutable fact that the Dallas police recovered a Mauser Model 1890 Turkish chambered in 7.65×53 from the TSBD is absolutely critical to the entire case of JFK’s murder. Why you cannot understand that is beyond absurd. The rifle recovered by the Dallas police, a Mauser Model 1890 Turkish chambered in 7.65×53, was seized by the FBI. It then morphed into a Carcano 91/38 chambered in 6.5×52. This Carcano rifle was presented to the Warren Commision. This is the basis of the case against the dead Lee Harvey Oswald. That Oswald purchased a Carcano 91/38 chambered in 6.5×52, that 6.5×52 expended cartridges were found under the sixth floor window of the TSBD, that a 6.5mm bullet was found in a gurney at Parkland Hospital on which JFK’s corpse was lying. Since the rifle recovered from the TSBD was not a Carcano 91/38, but a Mauser Model 1890 Turkish, the government’s case against Oswald falls apart completely. Not only that, but the FBI is guilty of Obstruction Of Justice by tampering with evidence by substituting a Carcano for the Mauser 1890. Since the FBI is guilty of Obstruction they are assumed to be party to the crime of the murder of The President Of The United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. EVERYTHING turns on that Mauser Model 1890 Turkish. EVERYTHING.

I am not talking about evidence to make a probable cause arrest, I am taking about the evidence that would be used at Oswald’s murder trial that was never held. This same evidence was used by the Warren Commission to declare Oswald the killer of JFK. That is what the discussion here is all about. I don’t know where you get the idea I have expressed an opinion on the Office Tippet murder, I have never mentioned it. I don’t care about the Tippet murder. I am only interested in the kill shot that blew out the back of JFK’s skull. The rest of your comment is simply deranged.

The expended cartridge casings found by the sixth floor window were 6.5×52, the chambering of the Carcano 91/38. Supporters of the conventional narrative, and the Warren Commission, consider this evidence of the shots fired that killed JFK. To this they add the fact that Oswald purchased a Carcano 91/38 and Oswald worked at the TSBD to conclude Oswald fired his Carcano killing JFK. Of course they need to provide the murder weapon and point to the rifle recovered by Dallas police on the sixth floor as that murder weapon. No one supporting the conventional narrative has suggested the recovered rifle was not the murder weapon. However, I have provided irrefutable proof that the recovered weapon was not a Carcano 91/38 chambered in 6.5×52, but a Mauser Model 1890 Turkish chambered in 7.65×53. The FBI seized the recovered rifle, however when it was presented to the Warren Commission it had transformed into a Carcano 91/38, complete with a handprint of Oswald and a FBI crime lab report that the 6.5mm bullet found on the gurney at Parkland Hospital had been fired from the presented Carcano 91/38. Clearly there is something
dreadfully wrong with the evidence.

Ah yes, the analytical Alden I know returns, at long last. Why am I so obsessed with the Mauser 1890 Turkish? A very good question, my dear Alden, and absolutely critical for the murder trial of Lee Harvey Oswald(never held). You know, having had a career in the justice system, that establishing a positive connection between the proved murder weapon and the accused murderer is key. By all supporters of the conventional narrative that Oswald murdered JFK, the evidence trail is that Oswald purchased a Carcano 91/38, which is chambered in 6.5×52. At the sixth floor window of the TSBD several expended 6.5×52 cartridge cases were found. A bullet of 6.5mm diameter was found on a gurney at Parkland Hospital, and was assumed to be associated with the murder. Compelling evidence indeed when Oswald worked at the TSBD on the day JFK was murdered. Unfortunately for the conventional narrative, the Dallas police arrived and recovered a rifle, and no you are absolutely wrong, the Dallas police DID NOT declare that rifle a Carcano 91/38. The police report stated the recovered rifle was a 7.65mm Mauser. This is not a Mauser model number, but a designation of the chambering of the rifle. 7.65mm Mauser would be the American convention for metric cartridges, which are officially named by the CIP, the European agency governing firearm cartridges. There is only one cartridge produced in the unusual 7.65mm bore, named by the CIP the 7.65×53, designed by the legendary Mr Mauser. The American convention 7.65mm Mauser is appropriate and understandable to any American firearm enthusiast, as they would also recognize the American name 7mm Mauser as meaning the CIP designated 7×57, a legendary cartridge, also designed by Mr Mauser. The Dallas police would have known the recovered rifle was chambered in 7.65×53 because that would be stamped on the barrel. All rifles have their chambering stamped on the barrel and that is the first thing a gun guy looks for when examining a previously unknown rifle(particularly, for obvious reasons, before loading a rifle). It is what us gun guys do. The cartridge is the soul of the rifle. We can therefore be certain that the rifle recovered at the TSBD was most certainly not a Carcano 91/38. As I have demonstrated with absolute certainty, that rifle MUST be a Mauser 1890 Turkish. However, the FBI seized this rifle, and by the time of the Warren Commission, falsely presented a Carcano 91/38 as the rifle found on the sixth floor of the TSBD. This is most obviously tampering with evidence of a capital crime by the FBI. This is the crime of Obstruction Of Justice. As you should be aware, due to your career in the justice system, those guilty of Obstruction, having tampered with evidence, are assumed to be a party to the crime. This my dear Alden, is why the Mauser 1890 Turkish is critically important.

The wikipedia article on the Mauser Model 1889 is quite good. If you scroll down you will come to a subheading for the Mauser Model 1890. Displayed is an excellent 19th century photo of an Ottoman Empire soldier with his Mauser 1890(31 inch barrel version). The magazine/triggerguard assembly is clearly visible. It is identical to the magazine/triggerguard assembly on the rifle recovered from the sixth floor of the TSBD. There are several photos of the sixth floor rifle, not murky at all, that show the magazine/triggerguard assembly quite clearly.

You can’t “point out” anything to me as your only knowledge comes from the Hidell video, although as I have written to you before, Hidell and I are basically on the same page. Hidell’s weakness is he starts from Sherry Fiester’s inadequate analysis. Fiester claims to be a professional firearms forensic expert, but makes a basic error. She places the asssasssin on The South Knoll embankment, below the Terminal Annex Federal Building parking lot. This spot is clearly too far to JFK’s left for the kill shot and totally exposed. Alek Hidell is hung up on The South Knoll, but he is very close. It seems, from viewing his video you so graciously embedded(unknown to me before) that there is a basic problem with the Terminal Annex Federal Building parking lot site. It is too far to JFK’s left for the kill shot, and Hidell senses that. He therefore proposes that the assassin was in the very small triangle of land at the extreme NW of the parking lot. This spot, as seen by a plan view map, has its west border the railroad tracks and it NW corner the abutment of The Triple Underpass. It is therefore but 20 feet from my proposed site. Hidell and I are very close in our analysis so I have no idea why you are so fixated and argumentative. The difference between Hidell and I is I started from plotting the trajectory of the kill shot and Hidell started with Sherry Fiestsr’s faulty, but tantalizingly close analysis. Regarding you “objections” to my proposal that the rifle shootist was sited on the south end of The Triple Underpass, you are erring on all points, so I’m glad you brought this up. There is excellent cover for the rifle shootist at my proposed site. He was seated concealed behind the concrete guardrail(since removed), and kept his AR10 in his lap until bringing it to battery as JFK’s limo turned onto Elm St. He was surrounded by the Commander, Spotter, and Assistant which created a crowd effect further concealing him. All would be wearing railroad company overalls. The “railroad men” you mention, about twenty, were crowded at the north end of The Triple Underpass and were there to run interference and block the way of any curious persons. They wore railroad company overalls but were not employees, no one knows who they were. They were all part of the plot and, except for two, promptly vanished after JFK’s limo sped under The Triple Underpass. The two Dallas police officers you refer to are an especially interesting case. They were stationed at the mid point of The Triple Underpass, one one the east side overlooking Dealey Plaza and the other on the west side. The officer on the west side testified at The Warren Commission that “a train passed on the overpass” during the time JFK was shot so he “saw nothing”. How convenient. There has been no confirmation if a train was actually on the Underpass as he states. The officer stationed overlooking Dealey Plaza never testified at The Warren Commission nor was ever interviewed. I have neatly disposed of all your objections except one. You claim no one saw any rifle shootist on The Triple Underpass, as if that is a clincher. Well, no one saw a rifle shootist in the Terminal Annex Federal Building parking lot either, so what point do you think you have made??? Everyone in Dealey Plaza was looking at the limo in the moments before the killing, and noise makers were set off on The Grassy Knoll to get everyone looking 180 degrees from the real shooter on The Triple Underpass so of course no one saw anything. It was all superbly set up. Your problem is you are not looking at this from the point of view of a rifle shootist. I am. I am telling you everything about the position on the south end of The Triple Underpass is utterly perfect and supremely comfortable for a rifle shootist, and given the difficulty of that shot, “comfort” was a key factor for success. It gets right down to simple things like no obstructions, ease of making small adjustments of position, and the superb rifle rest of the concrete guardrail that gives a sweet spot for the right elbow and the left hand on the forearm of the AR10. In contrast, your proposed site requires a vehicle to be put in an awkward position in “the triangle”, shooting through the obstruction of a fence, an the inability of the shootist to assume a comfortable position or make small adjustments in his position, because he was cramped in the back seat of a vehicle. The alternative was to stand in the parking lot with shooting sticks(do you know what shooting sticks are, Sparkon???) a seriously idiotic plan. The main problem of using the Terminal Annex Federal Building parking lot is the possibility of a vehicle or, worse, a pedestrian, entering the parking lot and noticing something weird going on. The Triple Underpass site in contrast is on the railroad tracks, so no vehicles could access it, and no pedestrian was likely to intrude and anyway the kill team would be dressed in railroad company overalls and would warn any(highly unlikely). intruders off. A further benefit is that the takedown AR10 could be concealed in a railroad company equipment bag, creating zero suspicion. You are really playing out of your league here, Sparkon. What I do admire about you is you accept Hidell’s basic premise. Hidell, of all the JFK killing researchers actually gets very close to the truth. He is just a tiny bit off because he doesn’t think like a rifle shootist. I admire Hidell. The rest of the clowns with The Grassy Knoll and Daltex Building nonsense just unwittingly contribute to the coverup.

Pilpul. You have earlier made the direct claim that the rifle recovered on the sixth floor was a Carcano. You go on to claim that proves Oswald was the shootist. I have proved that the rifle recovered was actually a Mauser Model 1890 Turkish. Since I don’t own a computer, I cannot post photos here, but if I did post one of the several available you would see the magazine/triggerguard assembly of the recovered rifle, though similar to the Carcano 91/38, lacks a small metal tab at the front of the assembly. Therefore the rifle recovered by Dallas police from the sixth floor of the TSBD was not a Carcano 91/38. The magazine/triggerguard of the recovered rifle matches exactly the assembly of the Mauser Model 1890 Turkish. The Dallas police report stated the rifle was a 7.65mm Mauser. This refers to the cartridge the rifle was chambered in. All rifles have their chambering stamped on the barrel. There is only one cartridge in the world in the 7.65mm bore size: the 7.65×53. That would be what was stamped on the barrel. However American renderings of metric chamberings generally use slightly altered nomenclature. For example the 7×57 cartridge is often refered to as 7mm Mauser in The United States, as Mr Mauser designed this legendary cartridge, as he also designed the 7.65×53. Given the 7.65×53 chambering, and the appearance of the magazine/triggerguard assembly, there is only one rifle that fits that description: the Mauser Model 1890 Turkish. As I stated before, if the conspirators had only stashed a Mauser Model 1889 on the sixth floor of the TSBD the deception would have succeeded as the magazine)triggerguard assembly of the Carcano 91/38 and the Mauser 1889 are identical, including the small metal tab at the front of the assembly. The Mauser 1890 Turkish, an obscure variant of the 1889, has a nearly identical magazine/triggerguard assembly differing only in lacking the small metal tab at the front. Really Alden, you are completely out of your depth here, which is understandable. Knowledge of the many models of 19th century Mauser bolt action battle rifles is a subject for enthusiasts. I myself don’t know much because I don’t like bolt actions (or semi-auto) rifles, my thing is break action single shots and double rifles, but when I heard about “7.65mm Mauser” being the recovered rifle’s chambering, and having never heard of this obscure bore size, I began searching, which was when I ran across the Mauser 1889, I then instantly noticed the magazine/triggerguard assembly of the sixth floor rifle was different that the Mauser 1889. It took some digging for me to discover the Mauser 1890 Turkish. As I wrote before, of the 14 battle rifle models chambered in 7.65×53, only two the Mauser 1889 and 1890 Turkish have the distinctive magazine/triggerguard assembly that hangs below the “belly” of the rifle stock. Therefore it is a certainty the recovered rifle was a Mauser 1890 Turkish. After being taken by the FBI this rifle magically transformed into a Carcano 91/38. All this is proof positive of a government conspiracy to alter evidence, that is Obstruction Of Justice, therefore the government was an active party to the murder of JFK.

JFK was shot from the front. The exit wound on JFK’s lower right rear skull proves that. Rifle bullets have trajectory, that shot could have only come from the top of The Triple Underpass. I don’t think Lee Harvey Oswald was spotted on The Triple Underpass, and everyone who thinks Oswald shot JFK insists he was in the TSBD, therefore he did not shoot JFK, no other conclusion is possible. I laid out my argument in my comment #102. You seem to think a suitable reply is pressing the LOL button. That is the behavior I would expect from a mentally ill Leftist, is that who you are? I will give you another chance, try to falsify my assertions in comment #102, but use rational arguments. It is entirely irrelevant that Oswald ordered a Carcano 91/38, all that matters is the identity of the rifle recovered by Dallas police from the sixth floor of the TSBD. If you carefully reread my comments #18, #97, and #103, I prove that the rifle recovered by the Dallas police from the sixth floor of the TSBD was not a Carcano 91/38, or any Carcano, but was a Mauser Model 1890 Turkish(the carbine version with 17.6 inch barrel produced in very small numbers, normally the 1890 had a 31 inch barrel). This rifle was seized by the FBI and when next seen had been magically transformed into a Carcano 91/38. I challenge you to falsify my comments #18, #97, and #103. Go ahead give it a go, but remember, use rational arguments.

Correction. The cartridge in question is the 7.65×53. There is no 7.65×54 cartridge. I also erred in stating only two rifles models were chambered in 7.65×53. There were 14 rifle models and six machine gun models chambered in 7.65×53. However, for the purposes of this discussion only the Mauser Model 1889 and Mauser Model 1890 matter as the other 12 rifle models lack the distinctive magazine/triggerguard assembly that protrudes below the belly of the gunstock. The Carcano 91/38 also has this distinctive assembly, which is how the 1889 and 1890, in carbine barrel length, might be confused with the Carcano.
