THREE CARD MONTE, THE NUCLEAR FOOTBALL, AND THE SECDEF

As I was plowing through my swollen email inbox after the holidays and trying to get an idea of what to blog about to start  the New Year, this story submitted by K.M. (with our thanks) immediately vaulted right to the top, because of its intriguing potential relationships to that Russian school textbook story I blogged about this past Monday, the one where Russian school textbooks are openly stating that the 2020 American election was stolen from Mr. Trump as the result of "obvious fraud." Indeed, this story was one of the stories that convinced me that I had to lead the year's blogs with the Russian schoolbook story, for while that story may seem to be a trivial and minor matter, it is really hugely significant for what it portends geopolitically and culturally, namely, that in their desperation to retain power, the American deep state, the Uniparty, the Swamp - whatever you wish to call it - may have permanently crippled and hobbled America's status on the world stage.

Add to that story the recent kerfuffle about Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin's recent absence from a White House meeting:

The Lloyd Austin fallout is growing: ‘Someone’s head has to roll’

While this whole article is important enough on its own, a few paragraphs in particular caught K.M.'s eye, and mine too, as well they should:

Days later, Austin’s secret hospitalization has spiraled into a drama engulfing the upper echelons of the Biden administration. Senior White House officials are struggling to answer questions about who knew what, and when, about the former general’s medical emergency. Criticism is pouring in from Congress and the media.

And since the Pentagon went public with the situation Friday night, new reports are coming in, including POLITICO’s disclosure on Saturday evening that the Pentagon had not informed President Joe Biden or the National Security Council for days that Austin was indisposed.

...

There has also been no accounting yet for the decision to withhold information about Austin’s medical emergency from the public and even the president.

That eventual disclosure blindsided Austin’s close colleagues. Austin joined a White House meeting about attacks in the Middle East by Iran-backed proxies by phone on Jan. 1 — the same day he was hospitalized. Baker’s appearance at another White House meeting last week — this one about the deteriorating situation in Haiti — did not raise any eyebrows.

So... in this game of three-card monte with the Secretary of Defense - was he or wasn't he virtually present during a meeting and was he or wasn't he present during surgery, or was it both, or neither?

Of course, the more important issue is, "Why was the president not informed?", a crucial question, along with, "would it have done any good to inform him anyway, and would he have known what it meant?"

The answer to the latter questions is probably in both cases a firm "no".

Which brings me to the real point of this story, and the above crucial paragraphs: the Pentagon did not inform the Bai Den Dzhao avatar about Secretary Austin because it simply was not necessary to do so.  Or to put it another and much more problematical way: the Bai Den Dzhao avatar is not in charge at all; there has been a coup, and the real people in charge are not in the White House, they're elsewhere. Anyone with some common sense, looking at the behavior of this regime since the election of 2020, will ave concluded that that election was, in reality, a coup d'etat, albeit a fragile one, since the lies needed to sustain it compound daily.

Consider for a moment what those above-quoted paragraphs actually mean. Imagine you are an intelligence analyst for the Russian Federalnaya Sluzhba Bezopaznosti, and you are handed this new story.  What do you make of it? Firstly, you confirm that it is an important story because it confirms other intelligence assessments that the USA is "not agreement capable," and that for one principal and over-riding reason: your intelligence service is unable to pinpoint the actual locus of power and decision-making that constitutes the Bai Den Dzhao regime: there is no one person you can call on the hotline. Rather, you're dealing with a shadowy group of people, perhaps even several ad hoc committees, and that they, not Bai Den Dzhao, are really in charge.  As you write up your analysis for President Putin, you also remind him of the post-2020 American election chatter led by none other than Nancy Pelosi, who called for a "committee" to take control of America's nuclear football because she (publicly) was stating that she did not want Donald Trump to have the possibility to launch a nuclear war. Privately what Mrs. Pelosi was probably really worried about was that the morally and politically compromised, and senile, Bai Den Dzhao should come nowhere near the football.

And with this "little" story about Secretary of Defense Austin, and the Pentagon's "failure" to inform its presidential avatar of Austin's location, we have perhaps another telltale indicator that Bai Den Dzhao is in charge of exactly nothing.  This is a government of, by, and for, unelected committees of oligarchs and plutocrats, with chains of command and network relationships that are unclear and obscure to the outsider.

And therefore, the government of the USA, whatever and whomever it currently consists of,  is "not agreement capable", and will remain that way until a clear and relatively consistent and stable  pattern of government and command emerges.  What's the implication of this high octane speculation?  There is one very clear consequence of this line of analysis: watch who among the American political and economic class the Russians do talk with, if anyone at all, in the coming months, particularly if those contacts are not through any of the normal or official - or federal - channels.  As with the Cuban Missile Crisis, both Kennedy and Khrushchev were forced to avoid the normal bureaucratic channels, because both leaders had good reason not to trust those channels.  Something like that, I suspect, has become the necessity again, but in reverse, with the complete disfunction of the visible institutions of "constitutional
government", more fluid, and less visible - and I strongly suspect less federal - channels are in play...  Let's hope the Russians have some success in identifying and exposing them...

See you on the flip side...

    It seems the UK Government is now giving orders to the Pentagon, and the White House. Thursday 19:45 hrs GMT, a Cabinet Meeting was held here in the UK by our Prime Minister and reports say he has authorised an imminent attack on Houti military bases in Yemen. So the UK is now the dog and we are wagging you tail! Presumably Biden was having a sleep and oblivious to escalating events in the Middle East! Sleepy Joe, bless him.

      When Sargon II kicked the bucket, and was eaten by dogs, it created a power vacuum in Nineveh, and plunged the empire into disarray, which created a Spartacus moment in the periphery, causing the thirsty winos, to head up north, through Caucasus, into Crimea, where British vessels brought them salvation, by fresh supply of fermented grapes.

      History repeats itself, in Doctor Who’s carousel.

    In one’s view, this latest distraction for tainted media is another example of incomplete data bits to drive narratives for notice. One aspect of this noisy drama has been overlooked. Patient – Docter confidentiality despite all the misbehavior on the planet. Secretary Austin’s deputies, no doubt, were adequately informed and had to make appropriate adjustments in their daily schedules along with intelligence agencies including an added variable in their information gathering & monitoring. The overall mission was more than properly covered by Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks and her team.

    There was even a mention of an elective procedure considered in lieu of current affairs. Timelines needing adjustment, no matter the drama elsewhere, were likely thought-out.

    Most likely a lot of whooey-about-notta for the frightened and ignorant as well as babbling fodder for those seeking every vantage of an assumed weakness non-existent..

    The Forces are well compartmentalized both vertically as well as laterally. Not to mention, responsibilities well delegated. The DoD is not a one person, one man, or one woman show any more than the rest of the branches of governance, especially, when these folks require security measures to ensure safe passage abroad.

    The media has a problem of credibility of their own doing. Useful idiots with quill n’ ink were probably been spoofed again.

      If you say that the media are useful idiots, then Biden is their Commander in Chief f*** wit.

        That may be so, one is not in their camp of malfeasance stumbling behind them nor emboldened to lump together all media players of investigative news, either, but do know that there still are the Siloviki (especially, their current leader), three letter agencies, criminally bent, and state sponsored terrorists (and their source states) in the mix that drive the narratives as well as inflict as much damage as possible to weaken and manipulate what would otherwise be routine commerce and inner workings of sovereign states. Not all colonists, party pejoratives aside, are aloof about what takes place or lacking because little is said about our nonaligned presence. Propaganda, for some folks, is their breakfast-lunch-snack-and dinner. They’re mean nasty players, too, without social reservations because they can, and given something of their handywork investigations yield – very well resourced, too, with lines of communication difficult to detect even from a military frame of reference which suggests a large organization (to include private enterprises and families) of sorts. Trump once mentioned that “they play dirty.” He’s very right on that score about some of those suggestive [they(s)]. One can easily speculate accurately about some of those folks involved without infringing on the Bond 007 type scenario copyrights even toward a flashpoint of high octane.

        One question goes begging for this folk on this side of the monitor, “Who or what contributes the opportunity(ies) toward these global players in the first place and can they be thwarted before wrecking the globe?” They’re not likely law-abiding citizens as their tradecraft takes them beyond the usual forensic detection systems, even those extra constitutional. That takes some practice as well as singular discipline with an ideology to boot. It also means a level of risk to anyone who voices an input.

        In any case, parroting and then embellishing a story that fails to include relevant details, or worse, that leaves out crucial facts, are as much at fault as actually being delinquent with information sharing of a chain of command (if that indeed happened) requirement. Reading more into what this story is seems a bigger mistake unless dezinformatsiya is its intent. It’s not likely that the mission of the Sec/Def was hindered or lost any more than various command personnel were at a loss or nonfunctional.

        Then again there is that matter of sowing doubt amongst the populace about a command structure and whose best interest it would be to exaggerate a situation. Something is not quite right with this hysteria of noise.

        Information flow is often secretive and on a need-to-know basis with a protocol followed to do so if and only if. The Sec/Def’s condition was not likely a mystery for members of the inner ring. They don’t require press briefings on such matters and usually aren’t taken to gossip conditions for a banner headline.

    “the Pentagon did not inform the Bai Den Dzhao avatar about Secretary Austin because it simply was not necessary to do so. Or to put it another and much more problematical way: the Bai Den Dzhao avatar is not in charge at all; there has been a coup, and the real people in charge are not in the White House, they’re elsewhere.”

    The Patel Patriot substack Devolution series (https://devolution.link/) examines the Continuity-of-Government (COG) protocols and the Presidential-Executive-Action-Documents, procedures put in place in the 1950’s to respond to a debilitating nuclear attack, and may have been updated by Trump to respond to anticipated “obvious fraud” in the 2020 elections.

    During the period from election day 3 Nov 2020 to inauguration day 20 Jan 2021, Trump may have activated these protocols and documents to install a caretaker government until the issues of fraud in the 2020 election could be resolved. This article from Newsweek (https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-inside-militarys-top-secret-plans-coronavirus-cripples-government-1492878) discusses a COG caretaker government.

    If Patel Patriot’s theory of COG is correct, the football would be in possession of the caretaker government and, in regards to national security, the location of Austin and Biden is no longer relevant.

    Russia will become the “kingmaker” in America, and – whoever takes the first step – towards a rapprochement in the Bering Strait, will become the one, in America, who sits on the “throne”.

    The Assyro-Zionists miscalculated in Palestine, because Judeo-Christianity is flawed, barking up the wrong tree, whereas the Last Supper confirms a 7th century BC rapprochement, in Crimea.

    Crimea is the lynchpin, because it is the historical site, from where the first empire was defeated, and Europe was created, which is an epistemological precedent, that will shape the world.

    A Second Coming it is, as scheduled.



    • anakephalaiosis on January 10, 2024 at 9:48 pm

      BTW, there is an obvious misdirection, occuring in the Gospels, because political facts are deliberately left out, to create a Doctor Who sci-fi fable, which is why, a Second Coming was always in the makings, when someday the narrative was to be explained.

      All roads lead to Crimea, which is the pivotal locus of power, epistemologically.



      • anakephalaiosis on January 10, 2024 at 10:08 pm

        BTW, the Ukrainian crisis is a Roman Catholic crusade, aiming at controlling Crimea, because the Vatican is threatened, by the prospect of the Scythian birthplace becoming a place of pilgrimage, amongst skull toasters, drinking memorabilia.

        The knights of the Holy Grail are rough riders, who are known, to have burned Rome.

    This sounds like a story from the Twilight Zone, The Outier Limits, X-fILES, Fringe but didn’t Alex De Tocqueville write when he came to America he found material more for the theater than real life.

    Perception management has to use the media to affirm the illusion that China Joe is President. China needs him; even if he’s is more of a hologram placeholder, than a presidential illusion.
    The other China reps, in the House & Senate wish to keep the illusion of self-governance as well.
    Unfortunately the USSA “government” cant keep any agreements solid, within their own house – let alone w/other factions representing the other USSA oligarchies in power.
    In fact, if truth be known; the USSA shot callers resemble more of a Russian icon:
    Matryoshka dolls.

    It really is beginning to look, more & more, like feudalism is taking shape in the USSA.

    There is also speculation around that Mr. Austin was in fact secretly in Kyiv on January first which was why he joined that meeting in a phone call but was subsequently wounded in a missile attack that occurred during that time frame.

    Again, that is simply speculation with no hard evidence. But also consider that the Pentagon must consider him essentially a non-factor in the chain of command, and just a mere figurehead so extending Dr. Farrell’s line of logical inquiry, who exactly has oversite of the Pentagon itself or has it broken away from the government in some fashion and operating independently depending on the country’s needs? Thats a rather scary line of thought. Consider also the Carrier battle group that was just ordered away from the eastern coast of the Mediterranean. It obviously didn’t come from Bai Den Dzhao.

    The non-agreement capability, of the imperial steamroller, paves the unilateral way, by flattening some redskins’ teepees.

    Great Chief in Swampington is a puppet, and the Hollywood playwright, behind the Punch and Judy, is on writers’ strike.

    Sargon II becoming dog food, is an auspicious moment for redskins, to abandon Assyrian reservation, and head for Crimea.

    Geronimo’s powwow!
