I Guess It Is In Their Nature.

Russiagate hoax is not just imploding, now, for real, it is imploding with a serious implications for Mr. Obama--a mediocrity and small fragile man elected only because of his skin color and America, naively, thinking that he was a change everyone needed. Boy, did this guy Obama really brought a change. Now, this cesspool of Obama's top officials sing a very different song about Russiagate, because of being under the oath and fearing for their dear existence behind bars where all of them belong. I don't like this Judge Jeanine but her being a lawyer helps in her, quite correct, summary of Obama's instigated coup, which not only resulted in destroying US-Russian relations, but endangered the very existence of the United States as a nation where, at least internally, some laws were still working. Not anymore. 

So, there was no collusion--we knew this all along. DNC, as I state ad nauseam, is a mafia structure designed for only one purpose--grabbing power by ANY means. I hope that after General Flynn's case was dropped at least some indictments will follow. I do not hold my breath, though--US political system is corrupt top-bottom and is dysfunctional, Wake me up when Comey, Strzok or Clapper go to jail, then I may change my mind. But at least now we have official, under oath, confirmation by all top Obama's officials that this was all BS to deny Trump presidency. If it meant destroying relations with the only nation in the world capable to wipe the United States off the map in half an hour, Obama thought it was a reasonable price to pay.  

Speaking of Russia, to the greatest credit  of the former US military attache to Russia, Brigadier General Zwak, he tried to mitigate this Victory Day "history" piece on the White House web-site, which created a shitstorm not just in Russia. This is laudable (in Russian).  Other related news, however, are a bit unnerving for Pentagon since Russia just tested a brand new hypersonic missile (specifically stated--NOT X-32, which is very high supersonic M=4.6) for updated version of TU-22M3M (in Russian). As was predicted--saturation of Russia's forces with hypersonic weapons continues apace and we will not recognize warfare as a whole very soon. So, TU-22M3M will be able to carry not just Kinzhal but new system tailored specifically to these bombers which can strike deep into the Europe or oceans. 

In other related news, this morning I read a very funny (no, really, I mean it) piece of "economic analysis". 

Why the Dow can jump 400 points even as the economy destroys over 20 million jobs

LOL, I have an answer--because Dow is related the same way to economy as I am related to the greatest Sumo wrestlers. It is all fraud and cooked books. That is why. I also can give a hint: COVID-19 is merely a detail here, however convenient, for finding excuses for what has no relation to COVID-19 whatsoever and started long before pandemic arrived. But, hey, what do I really know. 

I Am Not Surprised At All.

I already tuned myself to more damning things coming out of Boeing. I do not work at Boeing, so I am not in the position to judge company's current atmosphere and mood, but this caught my eye.  

Boeing has had issues with several models of its jets over the last year. The 737 Max has been grounded since March, the 787 and 777X have engine problems and the KC-46 tanker is restricted from carrying passengers and cargo.AirInsight, an aerospace research, data and analysis firm created in 2009, says it has never before called for any aerospace industry CEO to be replaced.

And then they explain WHY Boeing's CEO Dennis Muilenburg must be replaced. Here is explanation:

"While reducing costs and being competitive is laudable, it can, and has, gone too far at Boeing," Arvai wrote. "Safety appears to be the victim of rushing and cost reduction pressures, guided by a corporate culture that starts at the top." Muilenburg's strategy appears aimed at maximizing the Boeing Company's share price and his executives rather than investing more in new products to better rival Airbus, Arvai argued. The result is Boeing’s market share is falling and the jet maker's failures have caused the company to lose its long-standing reputation for quality and safety, Arvai said.

Ah, isn't it "wonderful" when "financialization" hits the fan and bottom line becomes the only guiding principle behind what is tantamount today to killing Boeing's long time accumulated reputation for quality. I sure as hell recall really well when magnificent B-777 took to the air and it was barely 20 years ago. Today, saying (as it is printed on Boeing's mugs and other merchandising) If It is not Boeing I am Not Going (If ain't Boeing, I am not going) seems like a bad joke. But I wouldn't go as far as this:

"We’ve been looking for good news about Boeing, but simply can’t find any. The 737 Max will end up years from now as a Harvard Business School case study in mismanagement, and the buck stops with the CEO," Arvai wrote. 

And what is so significant in Harvard or any other Business School in America, most of which preach a complete monetarist voodoo BS as an "economy study", when Boeing is just a private case of a much larger complete dysfunction of American political system, much of which is infested with the products of Harvard and other Ivy League degree mills in nothing practical or scientific. Boeing and its current worrisome fate (and I always liked Boeing's aircraft) is just a manifestation of the profound crisis of American statehood. Take a look at Democratic Party--those guys are a complete mental basket case and, as Paul Craig Roberts (correctly I may add) states:

If you are such an insouciant, dumbshit, totally stupid American that you cannot see that there is in front of your eyes, assuming you have any eyes open, an attempt based entirely in the constant repeat of lies by the presstitute media to destroy the political stability of the United States, you should be lined up against the wall and shot for your unimaginable stupidity. That is the message I am getting from many readers. The reason is that it now turns out that the “whistleblower,” an orchestration, first spoke to the piece of dog excrement “Shifty Schiff,” who helped him to write his false complaint before leaking it. The totally false story hyped by the whores who comprise the US media was contradicted in whole by the released unredacted official transcript of the alleged impeachable telephone call.

So, what is the Boeing's case against the background of slow, insidious coup and high treason being committed by primarily democratic establishment against the country? Both are related to what I repeat ad nauseam--they, the so called "elites", do not give a rat's ass about what remains of the nation. Money and power rule, in Boeing's case it is greed of the fat cats, in case of DNC--it is all consuming hunger for power based on delusional and dangerous ideologies. The loss of competence is beginning to reach catastrophic proportions. They simply resorted to making shit up--be it safety of aircraft or basic functions of the state. Does Putin (and Xi) know something we don't? Yes they do. We are left, however, with only one thing--to make sense of the pattern and, if need be, buckle up.

I Am Still Keeping A Pause

I am still keeping a pause in regards to Turkey's events. I just don't like to jump to conclusions, especially when events are so chaotic and so complex--Turkey is a very complex country. I am also waiting for tomorrow's Ankara's "announcement", which, as is being stated in media, will be sensational. Before I drop some of my thoughts BEFORE this announcement (whatever it may be) I want to point out to a yesterday's interview of Turkish Navy's Rear-Admiral (Ret.) Soner Pollat to Azerbaijan's news outlet Haqqin (Time). Admiral's interview to Zaur Rasulzade has a telling title: 

   Washington D.C.  Is Behind The Coup

The interview is in Russian but Google will be able to do the job. I am not going to speculate who was behind the coup until all details emerge. But ramifications of coup's failure--and I am beginning to lean towards the version that the coup was not staged--are tectonic and global. The reason for that is simple: if Erdogan is not an idiot, and if he allowed the coup to play out it means that he is not, his political good fortune and fate, as well as Turkey's, are not in EU or NATO--they are to the East. Erdogan, as I type it now, is already doing a real hard "reset" with Russia both by stating his desire to work with Russia and Iran on Syria and by arresting pilots who shot Russia Su-24, "allegedly" by Gulen's "orders". OK, we know that it is all expedient political spectacle, but there is little doubt that Erdogan has emerged  from this coup empowered and with mandate and his obvious re-orientation towards Russia and, by default, with it to Eurasian Economic Union is unmistakable. The time of turbulence for Turkey is only starting but for Erdogan and his people it becomes obvious whom they should talk to and those are not people from D.C., let alone Brussels. That is much is clear now and the implications are colossal, especially when one considers that Erdogan started rapprochement with Russia BEFORE the coup and this fact speaks volumes. Let's wait till tomorrow....
