  1. BREAKING

    It’s too soon to tell, but this looks very much like a false flag type of event, and the lying news media includes some speculation that it may be related to a protest of a drag queen show nearby. Moore County is the home of Fort Bragg, the 82nd Airborne, and many Green Beret units. These are not generally liberals, and therefore would likely oppose bizarre displays of deviant sexuality. On the other hand, what sense would it make to blow up power substations in the area where you live as something to protest this deviance? It would make about as much sense as Putin blowing up his own pipeline that would supply Europe.

    No, I think the speculation is not only hollow but deliberately misleading. It’s likelier that the intention is to partially disable the fighting ability of the specialized troops and their families. By whom, and for what reason, it is too soon to tell. We should be alert to similar effects in other areas, like we had the rash of food processing plant outages in 2021. Stay tuned…

      1. The 82nd Airborne’s mission is characterized as “wheels up in 48 hours” to anywhere in the world. This is a rapid response base. The disabling of civilian infrastructure as has been done would greatly thwart family readiness and possibly availability of fighting men. .

    2. 275KV transformers are more or less a bespoke item. And they don’t fail. Well unless some form of sabotage is underway.
      I’ll guess these are the things Russia is targetting in Ukraine. Apparently only 6 to go to black out Ukraine entirely.
      BTW something similar happened in California around 2010 but they also took out fibre optic cables nearby.
      Somebody wanted to find out what would actually happen, I’ll guess.

  2. I just had to post this Catherine. My local Indeed job postings just listed this primo job of a “power distribution lineman” in Antarctica!
    I wanted to post the link but it was several lines long, so here is the company that posted the job on Indeed instead.

    1. Thanks for posting these thought-provoking scenarios!

      Eliminating the loophole for carried interest would wipe out not only the PE industry, but a vast swath of enterprise technology companies that are currently owned by PE, https://www.home.saxo/content/articles/outrageous-predictions/tax-haven-ban-kills-private-equity-06122022

      Does FASB 56 make a tax haven ban more or less likely? Would a ban increase the value of the ones that are not banned? Or would havens move from offshore to offplanet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuBRcfe4bSo

  5. ESCALATION: Military madmen attack air bases inside Russia.

    In spite of the marketing campaign, very few actual American people support the widening of the Ukraine War, a thinly disguised proxy war with the US, masquerading as NATO acting on behalf of questionable Ukrainian “leaders.”
