It Is All Interconnected ...

 ... Larry Wilkerson is straight forward with this whole Mossad and IDF thing. 

Cannot get any clearer than that, but we knew this, if not knew then suspected anyway. So, this should not come as a surprise at all. Meanwhile, in other theater: 

UN, March 23. /TASS/. The Kyiv regime, refusing to negotiate and continuing the war, will soon face new conditions for resolving the conflict. This was stated by Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, at a meeting of the Security Council on Ukraine, convened at the request of Kyiv. "The President of Russia has repeatedly confirmed that we are unequivocally committed to a negotiated solution and achieving the goals of the NWO by diplomatic methods, but since the Kyiv regime is not ready for this and, instigated by its European friends, is going to continue to fight at any cost. He will soon have to face new settlement conditions," Nebenzya said.

This is for those who lose focus. I, obviously, cannot vouch for 4 (four) S-400 systems (whatever that means) delivered to Iran, but it becomes clear that WSJ's lamentations are not baseless. 

And Israel's attempts at striking Bandar-Enzeli port at Caspian Sea is an indicator of them understanding that the line Astrakhan-Enzeli may become a very intensive SLOC (Shipping Line Of Communications). RT is pressing me to give commentary to war criminal Lindsey Graham's statement that US marines took Ivo Jima and they can take Kharq Island. Anna Paulina already reacted: 

I am deeply upset at the lack of respect for life Senator Lindsey Graham is displaying when talking about our troops. He is acting as if they are expendable cattle. This is unacceptable and dark. There were over 26,000 American casualties at Iwo Jima.

Well, Lindsay Graham, as most of the US Congress, are as removed from real war as humanly possible. Obviously such simple things as "fire impact", "fire density", "weight of the salvo", "casualties" and other entry level terms for a platoon CO are not known by Lindsey (yeah, "a veteran") and "long range fires" are used in Pentagon (which is controlled by Israel) only when applied against the enemy. The whole notion that your troops are defenseless against long range fires of your enemy is beyond the grasp of the graduates of the US War Colleges. But yes, Top Gun: Maverick did really well at the box office.

Let us recall, the conclusion to Dune by Frank Herbert. Report on the Bene Gesserit Motives and Purposes:

The Lady Jessica was ordered to produce an Atreides daughter. The plan was to inbreed this daughter with Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, a nephew of the Baron Vladimir, with the high probability of a Kwisatz Haderach from that union. Instead, for reasons she confesses have never been completely clear to her, the concubine Lady Jessica defied her orders and bore a son. This alone should have alerted the Bene Gesserit to the possibility that a wild variable had entered their scheme. But there were other far more important indications that they virtually ignored: In the face of these facts, one is led to the inescapable conclusion that the inefficient Bene Gesserit behavior in this affair was a product of an even higher plan of which they were completely unaware!

"An even higher plan." But how can you explain a child of five what System of Systems is and what this (among many other things) ...

... a simple MDP (Markov Decision Process) with three states (green circles) and two actions (orange circles), with two rewards (orange arrows) is, and how strategies are developed. Impossible in the culture shaped by Hollywood and GIGO. Repeating "the spice must flow" many times doesn't change anything unless you are aware and internalize. For those who want some idea about Markov Chain--here is an excellent intro. 

Try it, it is not as hard as it seems for intro level. 

You See ...

 ... she operates within the cognitive confines which require no in-depth understanding of the nature of SMO, and, by extension of Russia. Not to mention the fact that operating within US military bubble doesn't help--in fact, it confuses people and they fall for their own biases, especially when one considers such fraudulent academic background as "political science". She speaks arithmetic, trying to apply it to a differential equation. Her logic works only within narrow confines of a primitive model which is consistently wrong. Working at RAND and Carnegie altogether disqualifies her from offering any opinions on SMO, or Russia in general. 

But, that is why I love the conclusion of Herbert's Dune. It is one of those things which must be considered:

Sounds familiar, doesn't it? 

I Am Not Going To Lie ...

David's death got me, big time. We attended our friend's wedding where in Twin Peaks Laura's body was found (a hint--it is before the bridge to Bainbridge Island) relatively recently. Yes, it is still there. The diner is still in the Snoqualmie Falls too. This whole universe could have been created only in the state of Washington. But (apart from Eraserhead) it was this which announced, fucked as it was by the studio, of a visionary of an immense scale. Forget about the Elephant Man. 

Star Wars, heh, a lobotomy to sci-fi. This was the world so bizarre and so enticing that the whole view, lacking dramatically in Herbert's books, of the Dune universe came alive. Frank Herbert, ever present on the set was in awe from David's vision. Weirding modules--that's what David's art was. Weird, bizarre and infinitely beautiful. But it was this, probably, which describes David the best. 

Of course, Harry Dean Stanton too. We live in the presence of a true artist (please, don't give me this Tarkovsky shit) and his body of work is immense. 

There will never be another him ... 

The State Of The Affairs...

 ... in the world today as expressed by David Lynch in his masterpiece. 

I have to admit, prescient in Herbert's book and Lynch's fantastic imagining of it. Reminds you of anything today?

There Are Now Videos...

 ... on YouTube on why Dune captured the imagination so much of so many. It is really simple, actually--true heroes, sacrifice, real men and women of incredible courage and dedication--all of this against the background of wussies and woke amorphous losers promoted as the "It" current thing. This poor generation doesn't get real examples of incredible courage and human spirit being blocked from the real world by perverts from establishment, but it still penetrates... In all different ways and it is like antibiotic whose action is not always noticeable at first. I would have never loved the book if not for Lynch's incredible vision:

Granted, buttressed by a universal love for Twin Peaks and Paul Atreidis--Agent Cooper and bizarre and fascinating world of David Lynch (and Kyle). But what many forget is how the miniseries created Princess Irulan, acted by incomparably beautiful Julie Cox, who embodied an unanswered love and a mother figure for children of a man who should have been rightly hers and whose children she brought up as her own:

Will see, I guess, how the second part of Dune will play out, but new Irulan, so far... well, will see--a tough act to follow after Julie...

Use as Open Thread...

I Stole It From Femi...

 ... on a lighter note.  Recall the immortal:"I am Spartacus, I am Spartacus, I am Spartacus..." from Kubrick's masterpiece. Well, evidently some in Africa took I am Putin thing literally and started to work on the issue))

LOL)) Who knows how many Putins are spread around the world. And how can this be?

Use as the open thread.

I Could Have Written About...

How Russia sent NATO packing, and rightly so, but when I was about to write how

Russia suspends diplomatic mission to NATO after 'spies' expelled. Russian officials announced Monday that the nation would suspend its diplomatic mission to NATO following NATO's expulsion of eight consecutive Russians for spying, a report said. The staff members at the Western military alliance's Moscow mission are to be divested of their accreditation, and NATO's office in Russia will be shuttered, said Sergey Lavrov, Russia's minister of foreign affairs."If NATO members have any urgent matters, they can contact our ambassador in Belgium on these questions," he added.

I don't know why this hasn't been done earlier but, evidently, even Russians have their limits, when a very dear friend of mine sent me this: 

U.S. Assistant Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine became the first openly transgender four-star officer in the uniformed services on Tuesday after she was sworn in as the first female four-star admiral of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. The Department of Health and Human Services announced Tuesday that Levine was ceremonially sworn in as a four-star admiral, making her the highest ranking official in the commissioned corps and leading 6,000 Public Health Service officers.

Sergei Viktorovich.... help!!!  

This is beyond surreal. Masha Zakharova spoke about the situation with 80 genders three days ago in Moscow (in Russian). This will not be shown in the West. You know, "free" West with "freedom" of speech and all that. But you know what? Because I am getting tired of talking about primitive one-cell creatures populating D.C., and I mean both on the "left" and on the "right", here is how aesthetics of free people looks like, granted, it is 32 years ago. 

Today, the only thing you can get is...transgender admirals and fugly woke, whatever they are, things which kill any testosterone and drive what's left of the US into the state of a permanent freak show which you have to accept or you will be sent for the attitude adjustment in the labor camps to kill any desire to want a woman, like your wife, you know, because being sexy and desirable is verboten. Like, you know, ask Robert Duvall and George Lucas...

...before Lucas lobotomized and killed the genre of science fiction in less than 12 parsecs... 

In related news, I really like this this piece that came out yesterday--it is very true, David Lynch never made a movie designed for "normal" people, he left that job to George Lucas. That is why Lucas never produced anything of real value after the rape of original Star Wars, while Lynch stunned the world with his work time after time until he reached a pinnacle of cinematography with his Twin Peaks: The Return in 2017. I don't know if anything in modern TV can ever top this--the bar is too high, you need 12 parsecs to top it. 

Remember This Guy;)

 You know, Star Wars emotional soy-boy? 

Of course, that was me today, LOL! And you know why, because they finally released the trailer today. Hollywood is 95% shit, but even slightly "woked" Dune--Dr. Kynes, played in Lynch's Dune by incomparable late Max von Sydow, is played by a black female actress--comes across well, from what I saw. So, here it comes:

The most anticipated movie probably in a decade. Looks good, so far. Reference to Pink Floyd is also good. At least something to look forward to.

Now I Saw It All.

For starters--I love this guy. He is amazing in his grasp of Dune epic and is joy to listen to. I am subscribed to his channel on Youtube and went today to get my updates on the new Dune movie.  

And while enjoying it I was dropped to the floor by discovering that The National Interest which was turning into tabloid for years now got itself into the... Dune universe. Get a load of this:

Here is the big disconnect between us and Dune. Our future is inextricably intertwined with technology. Unless the screenwriters can figure out how to bridge that divide, Dune will be no more relatable than the dragons in the Game of Thrones. In the real world, how we handle technology could dramatically impact the course of great power competition. If those challenges are woven into the film, it might well provoke some serious thinking about our future—making the movie truly great science fiction.

Oh, goodness, no "technology" in Dune, like faster than light space travel, which sure as hell doesn't qualify as "technology", right? Obviously lack of computing power wiped out in a Butlerian Jihad somehow should make, in accordance to the author:

Otherwise, we’ll have to hope it has terrific special effects and a music score equal to what John Williams produced for Star Wars. Lacking that, Dune is destined to be another crashing bore, because the actual characters in the story are not very relatable or likable.

Evidently, former Lt.Colonel James Carafano, doesn't understand the difference between cosmic fairy tale of Star Wars, which lobotomized Sci-Fi genre (not to mention borrowing heavily from Dune, admitted by none other that Lucas himself) and actual Sci-Fi which Dune, certainly, is. Not to mention that relatability of Dune to modern movie-goers is absolutely irrelevant here--Dune is not for consumers of woke Star Wars, Wonder Woman and other woke and talent-less PC shit being poured over the heads of infantile cretins who never left their childhood even when in their 30s. If they don't get it--fvck them, life will (already) teach them a serious social lesson on how to relate to real manhood, or femininity, sacrifice, friendship and love, things these people hardly know about. 

Dune is not for them, it is for those who appreciate real life, with all its complexities and, often, horror, conveyed through what arguably could be called the Sci-Fi equivalent of War and Peace which is classic for a simple reason--remaining relatable for normal people throughout centuries, with or without smart-phone in their hands or ability to grasp how firing solution is developed in missile, because it is the story of a human, in the end. But I am sure Mr. Carafano is aware of that, right? For everything else, there is Star Wars. After all we all can make it to the movie theater in less than 12 parsecs. 

I Will Be A Bit Cryptic;))

Here, the post which I will have to elaborate on later and which should have the title: what they are afraid of. I know, I know (wink, wink). The matter, actually, is very serious and requires serious elaborations. So, consider this as staking one of the most important topics of the 21st century. It has everything to do with fears of Bene Gesserit.

Ohh, Goody!!

Turks are now openly talking about it. 

Turkey is close to reaching a deal with Moscow over the purchase of Su-35 fighter jets as well as co-manufacturing some components of the Russian-made jets, Turkish sources said Friday. Turkish and Russian officials are discussing the details of the sale of a total of 36 Su-35 fighter jets to Turkey, two months after President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's visit to the International Aviation and Space Salon (MAKS) aviation show outside of Moscow. Sources added that officials are also discussing Turkey's possible involvement in the production of some components of the fighter jets, including its precision weapons and ammunition.

It was expected, but still comes as a surprise of sorts.What is it there also besides this?  Was Erdogan made aware, was given a hint,  during his latest few visits to Russia about what Turkey may get if she plays in concert with Russia? Obviously, Syria deal is not too bad for Turks who overwhelmingly view Kurdish groups as clear and present danger to Turkey, but it is more than that. S-400? Of course, it is a huge deal and the United States is beginning to look desperate on this front:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States is still in talks with Turkey to get Ankara to 'walk away' from the Russian missile defense system it bought, a senior State Department official said on Friday, but warned Turkey that the risk of sanctions over the issue persisted. 

But 36 SU-35s with all weaponry which goes with them is a huge-huge deal. It is reformatting Turkish Air Force away from old two-engine F-4 Phantom IIs into the immensely powerful Generation 4++ fighter squadrons (36/3= 3 squadrons per Russian TOE). It is also reformatting Turkish aerospace and, in general, defense industry which will be fully engaged in participation of production of arguably the best air superiority fighter in the world today. And, in perspective, of SU-57s which will be only logical continuation of what emerges as a strategic realignment in the region. Now, the question--if S-400 deal was bad for NATO "unity", how this whole situation is going to look like for NATO? Just FYI, the first gas will flow into the TurkStream in a few weeks. Now ask yourself a question what S-400 and S1s are doing in Serbia at Slavic Shield exercises and a sharper picture begins to emerge. If true (Su-35s contract), I will repeat a question--what else was Erdogan made aware of by Putin? Sure, money (capital) talks, markets matter, energy is our everything, but it is security, I think, and perspective umbrella over Turkey (yes, cutting edge mil-tech) which make Erdogan move that fast. It is access to the tools which allow Erdogan and his people realize even if in part some Neo-Ottoman visions. 

In all, there is, frankly, so much shit going on as of lately that one literally has to check news every hour or so--it just piles up. And we all may only guess, in Frank Herbert Dune's tradition, what are those plans, within plans, within plans. The spice must flow. And how can this be? For he is the Kwisatz Khaderach(c).

                                               

Let the force be with...or they don't make them like this anymore.

In 1984 a movie came out. No, I am not talking about "it can get there in 7 parsecs" Star Wars VI which, actually, if my dementia doesn't fail me, came out in 1983. No, I am talking about Dune. Specifically, David Lynch's Dune, made as an adaptation of Frank Herbert's immortal novel. Basically, Herbert's Dune is a War And Peace of Sci-Fi and, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest geopolitical novels of all time. But that is not the point--the point is the movie, which since then was condemned, degraded, humiliated to the point that David Lynch disowned it, having some Alan Smithee shown as a director and none other than Judas Booth (rings a bell?) as a scenarist, exhibited in a credits to a famous 3hr 15 minutes uncut version. 31 years has passed since a "box-office bomb" and all "thumbs down" version which became....a cult classic. What was forgotten, that Herbert was extremely dry in describing the universe of Dune. He wrote a superb geo(space)political palace intrigue and drama, while remaining surprisingly uninspiring in giving us a glimpse into what this world looks like. It took David Lynch's genius to give us a picture which, since 1984 disturbs, excites and fascinates true lovers of a genre. Herbert himself conceded that, far from being "consultant" on the set, he was simply amazed at what he observed. 

All those art "specialists" define the style of Lynch's Dune as noire-baroque. It is more than that--it is bizarre, it is dark, it is horrifying, it is paleo futuristic  and it is inhuman and that is precisely why Dune's characters come across so alive (how about outstanding actors' work?) and so human. No adaptation (well, Sci-Fi Channel's one) came even close in conveying the awe, horror and wonderment of an incredible world of the Spacing Guild, Space Travel, Bene Gesserit and a boy, grown to become a leader. The picture which was painted did become Dune and I am eternally grateful that this cinematic masterpiece came out when there were no imbecile teenagers publishing their "opinions" on the net from their iPhones and when the standard of human (especially female) beauty, friendship and sacrifice was high. Ah, yes! In the year 10191 there is NO democracy and the Universe is ruled by the Padishahs-Emperors. It is feudal.....and no computers. 

Music by ToTo and Brian Eno--it is the awe and shock!!

The spice must flow...........
