1 PETER 4:12-19
12Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which comes upon you to prove you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13But rejoice in so far as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. 14If you are reproached for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. 15But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a wrongdoer, or a mischief-maker; 16yet if one suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but under that name let him glorify God. 17For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18And “If the righteous man is scarcely saved, where will the impious and sinner appear?” 19Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will do right and entrust their souls to a faithful Creator.
PSALMS 126:1-6
1When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. 2Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” 3The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad. 4Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like the watercourses in the Negeb! 5May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy! 6He that goes forth weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
MATTHEW 10:34-39
34“Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36and a man’s foes will be those of his own household. 37He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.

What an inexplicably exhausting day….
What a relief to have DePat’s wonderful Thursday post to read and relax with.
Do you know which company is best for whale watching(4hr) in monterey? Best spot to see otters? And was steinbeck a commie?
I don’t know of a specific company. It’s largely the luck of the draw.
Same for the otters — they are nomadic and move around from place to place depending on food. Some days they might be at the breakwater, some days out by the Aquarium, some days out at Lovers’.
Steinbeck certainly hung out with enough Commies, but was knocked about the head by reality enough to not fully commit. He did some very Commie things — toured the Soviet Union, signed letters, attended Commie hangouts — and then turned around and had splashes of patriotism and respect for “common people”. Try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Steinbeck and see what you think.
To be slightly more specific about whale-watching, it will go best if there are whales there to watch — and different whales will be there at different times for different reasons (none of them just live there).
The California grey whale is fairly common. They feed in the cold waters off the shore of Alaska during the summer, then go to Baja California in winter. https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/west-coast/science-data/gray-whales-eastern-north-pacific https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_whale .
Just about every gray whale calf is born in a Mexican lagoon within a six week period near January. By May, all the whales have cleared out of Mexico and are headed north — they can travel 120 miles per day. They start heading south again around October. June through September are not prime whale-watching times for gray whales near Monterey.
Blue whales are endangered. So far as is known, they are the largest animal ever to have lived on earth. They can be found off the coast of California during summer and early fall. They dive deeper and swim further out from shore than gray whales — and seem to avoid being around other filter-feeding whales. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_whale
We have seen a Minke whale on a whale-watching trip off of Victoria, BC. Otherwise, I’ve never seen another. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minke_whale
Humpback whales are not particularly rare and are common “targets” of whale-watching expeditions. Like every whale so far listed, they migrate from cold waters in the north to feed, to warmer waters in the south to breed. There is a group of humpbacks that travel from the area around Hawaii to the area off of Alaska. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humpback_whale
Orcas don’t tend to migrate nearly as much as these other whales. Various populations can be “residents” of a particular area, and can be reliably found there. These generally eat fish. Other groups of orcas may be “transients” passing through a region, frequently eating mammals (seals). Other groups are commonly known as “offshores”. They are highly social animals and can teach each other behaviors — one, for instance, learned to come close to the surface and regurgitate some of its earlier meals of fish…..when seabirds flew in to investigate, the orca then ate the birds. Then it taught four of its friends how to do the same trick. One orca, “White Gladys”, off the coast of Spain has a grudge against sailboats and has figured out how to disable (rip off rudder) and sink them. She’s teaching others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orca
Each of these types of whales move up and down the coast to their own rhythm. On a day when the Monterey region is packed with whales, any competent boat will provide a great tour. On a day when there are very few whales to be found, only the best boats will be able to find any and you may be disappointed in the results despite their skill.
There are sightings of eat of those now. I had no idea orcas hung out up there. Of course its also great white season. There was one of the coast of Torey Pines that killed a dolphin a couple weeks ago.
One peculiar resource for finding otters is to stop at a dive shop and ask where divers have seen them. If you go around noon, you can get feedback from returning divers who have actually seen them in the water.
Two shops are: Aquarius https://aquariusdivers.com/ — this is out north of town — and Bamboo Reef (831) 372-1685 at 614 Lighthouse Ave. Monterey, CA 93940 — which is closer in.
One thing to note is that otters are a bit of a pest around divers.
In the Monterey area, several animals think it’s funny to be a pest to divers. They somehow know that divers cannot legally approach or pursue them, and that they can do no wrong in the eyes of the law.
This, for instance, is a dive float. A dive class will frequently put one of these in an area where they’re going to have some divers. Inside might be some spare weights, the class roster, stuff to be used in the next exercise, etc.
While the sea otter is playing with it, it is illegal to even come near it — much less dump the otter out and slap the water or blow a whistle at it.
**********************
Seals swim through the water, but sea lions fly — their “arms” can span a reach longer than its body, and its neck is as flexible as an eel. At one point, I was diving at Point Lobos with a couple who had written a book on the colorful sea slugs (nudibranchs) in the area. They were shoulder-to-shoulder, carefully inspecting this section of rock, while I was no more than ten feet away. This sea lion evidently figured that whatever they were looking at so carefully might be edible, so swooped-up behind them and poked its head between theirs. Seeing nothing tasty, it pulled its head back and swooped away. After the dive, I asked what they thought about their visitor………they hadn’t noticed.
************************
On another occasion, I was diving at Monastery Beach. It’s a very interesting place where there is a nasty surf zone, an area about the length of a tennis court that is shallow, then a cliff that goes down about 1200 feet. People have seen big pelagics there — sunfish, manta rays, sharks….
The guy I was diving with had gotten through the surf more cleanly than I had, so he was about 20 feet in front of me. I had gotten my trim together and was trudging out — I’d been in swimming pools that were deeper. Then something grabbed the tip of my fin.
I rolled over into a sitting position to see what was going on, to find a seal looking at me over my fins. He moved toward one, and I did a “shoo-shoo” with that one — then he moved to the other. I didn’t know if he wanted to play fetch or do swimming races, but I wasn’t in the mood. Eventually, he turned and swam off — and I was almost 40 feet behind my dive buddy.
I gues i shouldve known you cannot approach them but that surprised me a bit. Glad it was only a seal playing w your flipper!
Lol! Animals.
When I lived in Hawaii, I loved the sea turtles. Of course, it is totally illegal to touch them, but someone forgot to tell the turtles!
One day, I walked down to the beach. It was super hot, so I just sat down at the edge of the surf. Then a wave came up and washed a two-foot turtle right into my lap!
I waited for the next wave, and as it went out, I sort of lifted the turtle into it. I was so glad I was the only person on the beach.
The Fiancee reminded me of another notable animal encounter. We were doing a dive on the back side of Anacapa Island off of Ventura. There was a bit of a current, so a lot of sediment was in the water, and we were keeping fairly close to the anchor line. Slowly, out of the murk, we became aware of a fish that was about two feet tall, a foot wide, and about five feet long.
It didn’t seem particularly upset or anything, but it was facing us. To add to the surrealism of the underlying metaphor, the fish was vaguely silver and lightly covered with black polka-dots the size of silver dollars.
The Fiancee had a camera, and I tried to give her a good shot. She interprets this as me backing away and signaling to “eat her first”, but I was really hoping for a pic. OTOH, who knows what the reaction might have been to the camera’s flash? It might have turned out like one of those “take a selfie with a buffalo” stories….
Turns out, this was a well-known denizen of the area. https://www.nps.gov/chis/learn/nature/giant-black-seabass.htm This one was named, IIRC, “Hank”. It was a great relief to us that we didn’t have to convince a skeptical dive boat captain what we had seen.
Spots….
Wow, that’s cool. Big fish are scary.
I was once attacked by a ten-inch long Humuhumunukunukuapua`a.
I had no idea, but the males guard the eggs, and I was too close. It swam right up in my face twice.
You’re lucky that’s all he did — they bite through solid coral to eat the coral critters inside.
Yes, I was told I could lose a toe, and to stay away!
Thx!
Thx!!

Children’s Health Defense:
Who were those babies? What parent signs up their child to test an unproven vaccine?
Orphans?
I wondered about that, but what would make it okay to experiment on children just because they do not have parents or guardians? I know it has been done in the past, but that doesn’t excuse it.
“I wondered about that, but what would make it okay to experiment on children just because they do not have parents or guardians?”
____________
Nothing.
Nothing in a million universes.
Having parents, or not having parents, has nothing to do with the inherent value of any child’s life, or any child’s right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The existence of parents increases the chances that the child will be protected from monsters until he or she is old enough to protect himself.
Yes. My question was rhetorical. Some unfortunate children have no one to protect them, or they get taken from their protectors, and then they become prey.
No child should be used in an experiment. None. Should be a criminal act.
Never, ever forget Fauci’s AIDS children, whom he murdered. I won’t:
https://www.theqtree.com/2022/01/03/what-or-who-killed-all-of-these-children-the-world-deserves-to-know/
Still shocking.
I think about this a lot.
It’s hard to accept as reality.
That’s why I tried so hard to disprove myself, Wolf.
I looked at cemeteries in major cities all over the country, trying to find a similar situation, in case it was common for orphanage children to be buried like this. I could not find one case like New York. Not one.
YIKES.
💰?
wait until Big Pharma start producing lab babies with no real parents. The corp will legally own them and do with them as they please.
Horrific!

A monster.
Believing itself to be virtuous, no doubt.
Just decided, as a senior citizen, to put on my Advanced Directives – NO VACCINES – of any kind ever.
Good call. I was going to enter, no mRNA vaccines. No Vaccines better.
Along with no ventilators, Paxlovid, Remdisivir…
—
For giggles, looked into Philippine recommended treatments for Covid.
NO, HCQ, Ivermectin, Azithromycin.
Do use ventilators. Did not recognize any other recommended stuff.
Looks like EVERY Covid Injection IS recommended.
👍
AND, PFIZER-BIONTECH IS GOING AFTER PREGNANT WOMEN WITH ITS RSV “VACCINE” —
One: on 18 May 2023, the FDA’s VRBPAC panel “approved” the use of the Pfizer-BioNTech RSV “vaccine”, called RSVpreF, to be used on pregnant women in the THIRD trimester of pregnancy to “prevent RSV infection in both mother and baby.”
THIS “VACCINE” IS STILL IN CLINICAL TRIALS UNTIL NOVEMBER, 2023:
https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04424316
HOWEVER, an almost-identical “vaccine” by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), ALSO in clinical trials with pregnant women was stopped because IT WAS CAUSING PREMATURE BIRTHS.

Nasty!
They also have two RSV vaccines for old people, including one from Moderna that uses mRNA.
HA! AS IF!!!
It’s irreverent of me to post this due to the loss of life in the Titanic submarine…but it’s funny…
^^^ Belly laugh on that one. 😂 😂 😂
The propane tank reminds me of something.
I once knew someone who had a double length tank. It really did look like a submarine as it had the right proportions.

Verse of the Day for Thursday, June 22, 2023
✟
“Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:”
Psalms 139:23 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
duchess? you there?
Guessing ya did not get a reply yesterday.
Sure hope Duchess is doing well.

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.
BE MY VOICE
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
Thank you for these.
amen

BIDEN BLOWS UP BLINKEN’S DIPLOMATIC MISSION TO CHINA

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/boe-shocks-markets-surprise-50bps-rate-hike-crusade-against-red-hot-inflation”
from ZH’s ‘Peanut Gallery’
———————————-
“inflation was never at 2% so this too is a lie.”
—————————————————-
“The rest of the west is going down with the UK. Lol You did not think the UK was going down on its own did you?
At the moment the criminals will need too implement the CBDC sooner rather than later.”
—————————————————–
“It’s not sticky inflation that is the problem. It’s sticky stupidity that thinks you can trigger a war with Russia which supplies crucial materials and fuel as well as trying to convert to carbonless sources of energy at the same time. Also, asset inflation eventually feeds through to goods and services inflation.”
——————————————————
“F@cking pointless raising rates when the biggest spender in the economy is government (all welfare and employees as well).
Next round of wage demands will override any benefit of interest rate rises.
When the government spending as a share of the economy is small rate rises would work but government spending is the major share of the economy.
It is in an inflation spiral and government cutting is the only way out.”
https://michael-hudson.com/2023/06/sending-dollars-abroad-via-the-military/
Excerpt:
———————
” … China has a great benefit that the Western countries don’t — it treats money as a public utility. Its banking is a state bank, not a private banking system. In America, the private banks lend money to the financial sector to make money in the stock market, in the bond market by buying stocks and bonds already issued, and in the real estate market by buying homes and commercial real estate that’s been built long ago. Banks in the West do not lend money to build factories or machinery. They don’t lend money to set up business. They leave that to the stock market, basically, but not the banks. China uses its Bank of China, its government central bank, to actually spend money and provide credit to the real economy, to build new real estate, to finance new industrial producers, new manufacturing facilities. That’s the great advantage of China. To the extent that America tries to produce sanctions on China, the effect will be the same as producing sanctions on any other country. They’ll force the country being sanctioned to replace imports with its domestic production to do import substitution. You can be sure that that’s what China is doing right now, especially with the information technology that America is concentrating its sanctions on. If you look at the number of patents that are made in information technology, China’s way ahead of every other country in this. They’re producing an enormous educated engineering class that is not being produced in the United States or the West. If you are a leading student and you want to make money in the West, you’ll go into finance. And finance has the effect of destroying industry, not helping it. Whereas China is sending its graduates into engineering and the computer technology and the science primarily not into making money by financial maneuvering and getting the rest of the economy into debt to yourself.”
Nothing to add.
My thoughts EXACTLY…
In agreement, the majority of Americans don’t even know that any of these hearings are being held let alone following along to know what’s actually happening.
How many at this point in time are like “who’s Durham”?
In case one missed Rhonda showing his true colors…
Wishfully thought that was the Babylon Bee–apparently Sundance was right on RDS 🙄
Yes.
I resisted for awhile. spose another reality, I did not want to acknowledge.
But, Rhonda is full on Uniparty AND Owned by Wall Street.
Agreed. At least we see it “clearly” now, before being tricked into supporting him if “they” somehow manage to sideline Trump…
Just my opinion –
Mike Holly’s story on the Fed/Markets in DePat’s links is a good one. Big picture without getting into the weeds for the less financially astute.
If WEF/globalists succeed in stealing the next election and keep enough traitors in Congress to control, expect a real depression as they make their mad asset grabs from the sheeple to counter BRICS. Middle income down will suffer big time. So prepare as if it is going to happen and pray for PDT and MAGA patriots to win out.
#1 priority, get out of debt as much as you can and reduce stock market holdings in your 401k’s and investments until the dust settles. If PDT wins with enough patriots in Congress, there will be plenty of time to reenter the markets and improve your financial condition.
The question then, what’s the best alternative to the market with ones IRA? Asking for a friend of course.
Yours Truly is not a financial professional, but it seems that some considerations could be:
What control does one have over the investment “allotments” within the IRA?
If the IRA is invested in mutual funds, can this be changed to individual stock holdings of the “safer” types?
Can any / all of the IRA be changed into cash holdings and/or CD’s?
Yours Truly feels there will be pitches for “now’s the time to convert the IRA into gold and/or silver” approaches. One believes that any precious metal holdings need to be in direct physical control (holding) of the individual and kept under lock and key.
100% agree ^^^
Self directed IRA’s can go into bonds and CDs for safety.
From the lessons learned by Yours Truly based on the 2007-2009 real estate crash:
making a budget that’s between 25%-40% below what one has available currently, and living within that budget.
This is in addition to the suggestions of our good TradeBait 2, above.
👍
One thing that’s going to be difficult in the potential “Great Depression II” is that, while personal / family budgets will have to be tightened in every way possible, taxes and “fees” of all kinds will go up — even if items like real estate tax assessments remain relatively “stable.”

The enemy attacked the bridge on the border with the Crimea with Storm Shadow missiles
V. Balance: The criminal Kiev regime carried out a barbarous shelling of civilian objects – bridges on the administrative border between the Kherson region and Crimea near Chongar.
▪️Kyiv terrorists want to intimidate Kherson residents, sow panic among the population, but they will not be able to do this. We are able to repair bridges quickly: the passage of cars will be restored in the very near future.
▪️According to a preliminary assessment, British Storm Shadow missiles were used. The road surface on the bridges was damaged. There are no human casualties.
▪️We have an answer for every step of the enemy. The communication between the Kherson region and the Crimea continues to operate – the movement of vehicles along the reserve route is temporarily organized.

Exact thought I had, Dora.
Bet FIB guy didn’t have either permissions nor a security door on that bathroom like Trump had. 😁
We should all remember the stories of Trump being asked up grade his security door by the FBI the first time they were out to visit him. So likely the bathroom was a spare that was set up to hold the docs and Trump is likely not emphasizing that point at this time, but we know something like that to be the case considering the past stories. Meanwhile stuff on the stage was simply memorabilia and all these leaked photos are simply DOinJ doing optics.

More Falsehoods of World War II – The Burning Platform
Thanks for that! Absolutely fascinating!
Unz is – to put it mildly – controversial – but I know that he’s citing a LOT of very valid information there. Not only had I heard, when I was young, the basic theory that Stalin did want to invade Europe – I am fairly familiar with the complexities of the German race laws and the Nazi violations of the same – a multi-tiered legal system which granted all kinds of favors when expedient. There is a lot of valid information being given.
The crew of the submarine has been declared dead.
https://www.nbcboston.com/
They found 5 major pieces of debris from the sub in the area of the Titanic. Nose cone, front end bell(?) of the pressure hull(?) — indications of a catastrophic event. Found the other end of the pressure hull in another debris field.
Sorry for the victims and their families. Once again woke ideology is killing people.
Yes, so sad. May they RIP and may the families find comfort.
The reporters were asking if efforts would be made to recover remains, but reports were that there was a catastrophic event and “implosion.” I wouldn’t think there would be any signs of remains, but I don’t know. Of course, they wouldn’t want to say that at this time out of respect for the families.
It seems fitting that there wouldn’t be millions spent on negligible to none remains..these people took the risk. They were on the ultimate thrill ride so RIP where they are?
Coothie did the numbers on this yesterday, something like 5000 PSI (pounds per square inch of pressure at 12000 feet under)…
As Scott replied later, instant crush…
Sometimes old white guys know how to design things after all… He should have read up on the “Skunk Works” at Lockheed Martin, for instance…

yep! exactly like that
I think lots of money will still be spent to try to find out what happened.
All they have to do is read here. Our “experts” seemed to know what would happen and why but you’re right…committees and people scratching their man buns will be pontificating for months
I think they’ll be searching the ocean for some time too. It would be useful for marine experts to know what went wrong (even thought we can speculate because of safety breaches).
“I think they’ll be searching the ocean for some time too. It would be useful for marine experts to know what went wrong (even thought we can speculate because of safety breaches).”
____________
They already know what went wrong.
The whole thing is like a parable of human arrogance and stupidity, a laundry list of the things you should never do, based on common sense and from ignoring all the accumulated experience (and lessons from tragedy) going back to the first submarine.
They rejected all of that. They rejected reality. When their fantasy was put to the test, reality rejected them.
The problem for the talking heads will be trying to explain what so obviously went wrong, without insulting the memory of the people who did it, without comparing their intellects to that of a mushroom.
It’s the kind of breathtaking stupidity that could only manifest in a bubble of willful lunacy.
Based on the the CEO’s own words, the stupidity was intentional, proudly predicated on Woke BS.
And since Woke BS is the new religion of the realm — and when put to the test, the Woke BS resulted in a catastrophic loss of life — the high priests of Wokeism have to figure out how to explain this catastrophic failure, without condemning the Woke BS that directly led to the failure.
And they can’t do it, not without admitting that all their Woke theory and related BS is pure fantasy that will get you killed in the real world.
So they’ll do what they always do.
They’ll just lie.
They’re going to lie to themselves, and they’re certainly going to lie to us.
Safety breaches for which they fired their safety officer, and bragged that such things held them back…
From safety, as we now see……

Well, the good news is that it wasn’t a lingering death by suffocation. Any collapse that results in pieces will have been quite sudden.
There were reports that the sub would automatically release ballast after a certain amount of time, which theoretically would propel it to the surface. One nightmare scenario was that it could be floating but the crew couldn’t open the hatch from the inside. I’m glad that didn’t happen.
With a carbon-fiber pressure hull, it doesn’t flex before it essentially disintegrates. The average remaining piece size of the pressure hull may be 3″x3″ or less — smaller than a CD. I wouldn’t expect that they will ever find substantial amounts of the hull or crew.
Was a carbon-fiber pressure hull not optimal for this vessel?
There are several answers to this question — from the very flippant, “well, not this one…..” to complicated engineering-calculation laden things — but I’ll stick with the “not in concept, but in implementation” line.
If I were designing something to dive to 13,000 feet repeatedly, I’d build it capable of hitting 26,000 — and, then, I’d inspect it after every dive. This one was designed and built to hit 12,000 and not regularly inspected.
If I heard correctly, it was tested once to 3,000 meters with a crew of 1 (the CEO), and that was it.
It had never been tested to 4,000 meters.
But it’s being tested now.
I believe that other paying customers and/or “referrers” (media people) had ridden it down to the wreck. They’ve all got to be saying, “there, but for the Grace of God….”
I read that the company has other submersibles that may have been down to the wreck, submersibles of more customary design (not carbon fiber).
The only info I have found about the Titan submersible (the one that imploded) is that it was experimental, that it was not certified by any regulatory body, that journalist David Pogue went on a dive in it that ended at a depth of just 37 feet after they had a problem, and that the CEO had been to 3,000 meters once, by himself.
I have not yet found any information that any successful trip was ever made to the bottom, to the Titanic wreckage, in the experimental Titan submersible.
Other people had successfully ridden this contraption before — https://www.foxnews.com/world/former-oceangate-tourist-calls-his-2021-titanic-sub-trip-kamikaze-operation#&_intcmp=fnhpriver_21
A slightly different take….when it comes to “strength”, there are various types. There is compression strength, which is whether it deforms when squished between two surfaces. Tension strength is when one end is anchored and the other pulled. Torsion strength is when one end is anchored and the other twisted. I forget what it’s called, but if one end of a bar is anchored and the other pushed at 90 degrees, that’s another.
Carbon fiber materials are made by taking carbon fibers and embedding them in a resin. It excels at certain kinds of strength but not at others. It can make very light, very strong shells — but, just like when you crack an egg, the strength is dependent on the shape’s ability to distribute forces. It is not particularly strong in tension or torsion situations.
When you crack a pressure shell at 5000 pounds per square inch (or even 2000 pounds), the edges of the crack will be twisted and forced apart — which are precisely the types of strength where carbon fiber is not particularly well-suited. Thus, if it fails, it will fail catastrophically.
Perhaps “KNOCKING” in an attempt to alert potential rescuers was not such a good idea, in retrospect…
“Was a carbon-fiber pressure hull not optimal for this vessel?”
_____________
You know the cardboard tube at the center of a roll of toilet paper?
As a practical matter, it’s basically like that, on steroids.
At 12,000 feet, those steroids came up short.
The tube shape itself isn’t even optimal, a sphere would be.
Reminds me of the Columbia Shuttle, in an odd sort of way…
Here’s hoping and praying that their pain was short…
Note that this would have been about 2 hours into a six-eight hour descending dive profile.
So they never got to see the Titanic after all.
Eh, the movie was better….
Moar.

An insane new Housing Act will allow municipalities to force homeowners to sell their homes ONLY to people with a lower to middle income.
In other words, the government decides who you can sell your own home to and would force you to accept a lower price than the market value, because a “marginalised group” would be making an offer.
How can we even still say we have property rights, when this is our reality? We’re not “losing our rights” we’re straight up already living in a neo-feudal system. Wake the hell up, people.
I think this will eventually lead to war if it’s not stopped. And definitely here in the US, there should be nothing of the kind.
Agreed.
It’s happening here These Truths….we are at the point where private companies may file eminent domain at prices set not by the farmers….
A company called Summit Carbon Solutions has filed an eminent domain lawsuit against farmer Jared Bossly to build a carbon capture pipeline on his property.
Surveyors came onto his property without permission and they falsely accused him of threatening to kill them (he spoke to them for 6 seconds on speaker phone).
They then filed for a contempt of court charge that would have prevented him from being on his property when the surveyors come back but the judge ruled against them today.
50 landowners showed up in the courtroom in solidarity with Bossly. The eminent domain lawsuit continues…
The Biden Administration Non Governmental Organizations have already filed 80 eminent domain lawsuits against farmers in South Dakota alone.... Republicans remain silent and South Dakota Decepticon Senator John Thune who supports the Net Zero agenda is set to take over the Senate leadership in the near future…

Shoigu claims that if this happens, they will consider this as a red line escalation, and will immediately strike Ukrainian “decision-making centers”, meaning Ukrainian leaders, a la Zelensky.
I have a much broader interpretation of the following:
The Ukrainians have already attacked the Kremlin. That would be like an attack on the White House and the Pentagon combined.
ALREADY HAPPENED.
Sure, it was just drones, but when American missiles go deep into Russia, the gloves come off.
Depending upon where American weapons strike in Russia, I expect equivalent strikes on Washington and London. People in Washington and London are not being realistic. Explosives have a way of making people realistic.
Vlad decides to wake up the Pentagon Gay Blades or Sleepy Joe, he has the hypersonics to do it, and there’s nothing to stop it. Doesn’t have to be nuclear.
Russia has LET the bear be poked for decades. NATO is gonna get a bloody nose, looking down the barrel of a nuclear gun, which just fired a conventional rubber bullet at them to PROVE the gun works.
I mean, I’m warning people. If I was in Vlad’s shoes, and American missiles start going into the wrong places, it’s showtime. I’m not saying I like it. I’m saying he’s got the position on the chessboard to do it, and the whole damn world will CHEER when he does it.
And all China has to do is not send parts. And they’re just itching not to send them, IMO.

KA-52 Alligator vs. Leopard 2 | Musings from the Chiefio (wordpress.com)
I keep seeing articles and tweets about the MTG/Boebert spat(s). I think it’s unbecoming on both of their parts, that it looks like petty female cat fighting, and that it is only hurting our cause.
Now cue the idea that it’s all for show. I don’t see any benefit to a fake fight that distracts from serious issues. And I think it’s turning some voters off.
IMO, they need to show some emotional IQ. How about meeting in one of their offices or in a private place to discuss their differences, rather than in a restroom in the Capitol or on the House floor? How about showing some decorum and considering how this looks to all of us. I’m sick of both of them.
agree 100% and too late for decorum. The deed is done.
Because it was a spat I did not follow closely. Next heard Bobert was being condemned by members of the house for wanting to move on impeachment of Biden over immigration. Now we have this which appears much wider than just immigration.
Loves how she’s naming names here. They can be worked over by the public over summer recess by the public.
MTG is naming the toads in the road. And I assume the spat was just about tactics and techniques.
I’m a Southern woman who now lives in the West. These are two very different kinds of women.
A Southern woman like MTG, who is extremely direct, outspoken, and accustomed to “ruling the roost” will bowl right over a Western woman. Western women are strong, but in my experience much less direct, and are more likely to be passive-aggressive as opposed to what I call my Southern self, aggressive-aggressive.
I can see this dynamic playing itself out with these two.
Nailed it. That’s why it’s as entertaining as a burlap bag full of cats.
Lol. Yes, I am entertained.

U.S. Navy Heard What It Believed Was Titan Implosion Days Ago
https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-navy-detected-titan-sub-implosion-days-ago-6844cb12?mod=djemalertNEWS
I’m posting something that I don’t agree with.
Jack Posobiec:
The WSJ article is the one I referenced here. It says nothing about Biden holding the news. It doesn’t mention Biden at all.
The facts are straightforward that the Navy heard what they thought was an explosion but that they weren’t sure, so they didn’t want to declare the people dead before they had all the facts and evidence. IMO that was a reasonable course of action. “The entire thing was a distraction op” is a made-up supposition presented as fact, which I have no respect for. News of an explosion, if they had been sure about it, would have also distracted from other news, including Hunter, for days. I’m not impressed with Poso on this one.
The previous article stated it………….now, it didn’t say Biden held the info back but somebody did.
“While the Navy couldn’t say definitively the sound came from the Titan, the discovery played a role in narrowing the scope of the search for the vessel before its debris was discovered Thursday, the officials said.”
Oh my g..
It is pure speculation that Biden told the Navy to withhold that information because of Hunter. It might be possible, but it is not fact. My objection is the reporting of it as fact when we don’t know for sure. This happens way too often in the conservative community, IMO.
I get that and totally agree with the all too often speculation but on this one (and all things) it’s not Biden making ANY decision imo. His handlers do it .
I thought the same thing when I read that they discovered the debris Thursday. Why not tell the public, tell us Friday, tell us Saturday, Sunday…it smells like distraction to me also.
Also gives some plausible reason why other rescue outfits from UK were unceremoniously barred from helping. just saying
It very well might be distraction, and that can to be explored.
They are the people who kill living babies and sell them for body parts…
They will do ANYTHING if it fits their agenda… even if only for propaganda, brainwashing, or “motivation” purposes…..
I hear you. Without proof, assuming the sounds were an implosion might be fatal for survivors if it was not correct.
Yes. It would be no trouble for people to say, “Here’s my theory. I think Biden ordered the Navy to withhold information to shield Hunter.” Or “This makes me wonder if Biden…” It might or might not happened that way, and it is something that people can think about, but the element of uncertainty needs to be present if the reporting is going to be truthful.
This is how innocent people get convicted. (And I’m not saying Biden is innocent. He is one of the worse political criminals on the planet. But the truth matters.) People decide they *know* what happened or how it must have happened, when there are factors they either are not aware of or refuse to consider. Reference the movie “12 Angry Men.” This is a major pet peeve of mine. Truth is paramount.
“worst political criminals”
Love that flick.
Poso’s Point.

Might be worth re-posting this material on Friday’s thread so it gets more visibility. Great Work, btw!
Drug addict on a hissy fit for his next score w pops. Foul people everywhere. Anyone defending them is equally treacherous atm.
I have no issue with any point Poso wants to make, as long as he presents it as a theory and not a fact when we don’t know it to be a fact.
But that’s not the point. How many of the above stories were we familiar with? That’s the point.
Now if anyone can find out Biden or his close minions had anything to do with holding back the sub story, well that enters a whole new sphere of conspiracy of which we all strongly suspect happens and would love to see proof of and you rightfully point out he offers no proof, but our focus should be on those stories and not the sub and we know this but the sub stuff is just too sexy to ignore.
Quick run down on the LA Sex Club story.
Founder (but he’s since sold the club) of Club banned Hunter Biden from the club after his first visit because “He’s a scumbag”. Story alludes to 75,000 a year membership. Founder has banned from his own club that he sold because he mentioned Hunter Biden being a member and a scum bag 😬😮🙄😏😆
Wow… way to go Hunter.
I watched the news conference yesterday:
It was appalling from the start. The first 6 minutes was patting themselves on the back for all their expert prowess and cooperation and recognizing every agency under the sun with proper reverence, and plenty of CYA speak.
When they finally took questions, everyone was well-trained to answer every question with a narrative, indicated by starting every answer with the word “So…”.
Questions do not call for a response that begins with “so”.
The hyenas and jackals asking obvious questions were trying to elicit basic information, which the ‘responders’ dutifully tried to be as obtuse about as humanly possible. I was about ready to throw a brick through my screen.
If people like these are in charge of the rescue effort, you don’t have a chance.
They were asked repeatedly about the ‘noise’ every 30 minutes, for all the obvious reasons.
If the noise is NATURALLY occurring, then focusing all (or most) resources to investigate it would be STUPID.
So you better have a way to distinguish natural from human-made sounds.
If the noise is NOT naturally occurring, then most likely it was human, and the only living humans under water in that vicinity were the missing people
Is the noise occurring EXACTLY every 30 minutes (which would be mechanical in origin), or is it ROUGHLY every 30 minutes, like someone checking their watch and then banging on the metal end of the submersible with a hammer?
But they played coy about every question regarding the sounds that were reported.
It was like trying to pry power away from a politician. The whole event was an exercise in hiding the truth, covering their asses, and promoting their expertise (primarily expert at divulging no meaningful information of any kind that wasn’t already known).
Now it turns out that they KNEW about the acoustic signature of the implosion which occurred at the same time as communications were lost.
They didn’t say SQUAT about that during their propaganda struggle sessions with the media.
And at issue is WHY they didn’t say anything. We can disapprove of their withholding information, and we can argue with their reasoning. My ONLY point is that people should not be presenting theory as fact. We DO NOT KNOW what Biden did or did not do regarding this. He MIGHT have ordered information to be withheld, and he might not have. If he did, it MIGHT have been to shield his son. But we don’t know that.
I would love to tell Poso to his face to present theories as theories. We can debate them all day, AS THEORIES, until we know the truth (if that ever happens).

First EU said your cell phones have to use USB-C chargers
Now the EU is saying the cell phone batteries have to be easily replaceable
I am definitely no fan of the EU, but if they’re going to abuse their power, they couldn’t have picked a more deserving bunch of a-holes.
EU Parliament votes 587 to 9 (20 abstentions) to require cell phone manufacturers (cough APPLE cough) to make the batteries easy to replace.

The EUnazis! Bringing back the Warsaw Pact!
Why shouldn’t cell phones have batteries that are easily replaced?
If I was going to get a cell phone, I would want one with an easily removable battery, to shut off the tracking device with certainty.
(FIRST THOUGHT that came to me ! I remember reading “tracking” (even when “OFF”) MAY have been the reason “They” made it difficult to access…)
😉
Of course the devices should be made so that they are servicable, particularly the batteries. Would anyone buy a car where you can’t replace the batteries? And don’t say “Tesla” . . .
I disagree strongly with the EU butting their nose in every pickle jar, and particularly picking winners and losers in tech. Dictating which charger connector type a cell phone must comply with is how we get stuck with old technology that should have been obsoleted decades ago still hanging on. EU’s history with telephony is a great example of how to ruin technology through committees.
Still, it’s nice to see Apple’s and Google’s and Meta cut down to size. The egos need a lot more deflating.

Facebook to end news access in Canada over incoming law on paying publishersBy Ismail Shakil and David Ljunggren
June 22, 20237:12 PM EDTUpdated 3 hours ago
FTA:
OTTAWA, June 22 (Reuters) – Meta Platforms Inc (META.O) plans to end access to news on Facebook and Instagram for all users in Canada once a parliament-approved legislation requiring internet giants to pay news publishers comes into effect, the company said on Thursday.
The legislation, known as the Online News Act, was approved by the Senate upper chamber earlier on Thursday and will become law after receiving royal assent from the governor general, a formality.
The legislation was proposed after complaints from Canada’s media industry, which wants tighter regulation of tech companies to prevent them from elbowing news businesses out of the online advertising market.

So all the people who get their daily dose of MSM brainwashing via Facecrook will be cut off?

It’s like watching the enemy attack itself 😂

How giant does an “internet giant” need to be in order to be tagged for the tax…
Could be a thinly-veiled way of stopping ANY news from coming out on the web….
