How the Battle of Surigao Strait Brought Revenge for Pearl Harbor

  • At the Battle of Surigao Strait, a line of American battleships, raised from the mud of Pearl Harbor, decimated a Japanese task force.

This article appears in: December 2008
By David Alan Johnson

*** begin quote ***

At 2:43 pm on October 24, 1944, one day before the Battle of Surigao Strait, Rear Admiral Jesse B. Oldendorf received a dispatch from Vice Admiral Thomas C. Kinkaid, commander of the Central Philippines Attack Force. The message was straightforward and direct: “Prepare for night engagement,” and was duly logged aboard Oldendorf’s flagship, the heavy cruiser USS Louisville. Admiral Oldendorf, commander of the Leyte invasion fire support warships, was not surprised by the order. Naval intelligence had already been apprised of the fact that a Japanese force was on its way toward Leyte Gulf

I can’t imagine the terror that these men suffered through.  A tremendous loss of life is just sad.

I assume that FDR, and all the politicians and bureaucrats of Japan and USA, bear a heavy share of the blame for these deaths and injuries. 

So sad. And, so wasteful.

Jill Biden calls it ‘ridiculous’ that Nikki Haley wants to impose mandatory mental competency test for politicians older than 75 as Joe, 80, weighs launching 2024 reelection bid

  •     Nikki Haley wants politicians over 75 to take mental competency evaluations 
  •     First lady Jill Biden said her husband would ‘never’ consider taking such a test
  •     Joe Biden would be 82 for inauguration if reelected and Trump would be 78

Jill Biden is pushing back on GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley, 51, for proposing that all politicians over the age of 75 be required to take a mental competency test to qualify to serve in public office.

I don’t see what the problem is.  

If fact, I like it for ALL politicians.

Maybe John Fetterman from PA isn’t fit to serve regardless of age.

RANT: Isn’t this like slavery or indentured servitude?

 JPMorgan Chase ‘requires its tech workers give 6 months’ notice before they quit’
By Ariel Zilber — March 3, 2023 12:08pm Updated

*** begin quote ***

A veteran JPMorgan Chase banker fumed over the financial giant’s policy requiring staffers to give six months’ notice before being allowed to leave for another job.

The Wall Street worker, who claims to earn around $400,000 annually in total compensation after accumulating 15 years of experience, griped that the lengthy notice period likely means a lucrative job offer from another company will be rescinded.

Taking to the social media platform Blind — which allows career professionals anonymity so that they can freely post without concern about retribution from their bosses — the worker in the e-trade division lamented over the policy.

*** end quote ***

Seems like this is a form of slavery.  Even if a well compensated form of it.  I can understand wanting to protect your business but it’s a fact of life that every night your most important asset walks out the door.  

A six month notice requirement is different IMHO than a noncompete clause.  One “indentures” you; the other just limits where you can go.

I would assume that if one litigated this, the courts would see it as slavery. 

Of course, that assumes you can get “justice” in a Gooferment court, when Big Business owns so many politicians and bureaucrats.

Argh!

GOVERNACIDE: Does the EPA demonstrate “willful ignorence”?

Here’s the real reason the EPA doesn’t want to test for toxins in East Palestine

Stephen Lester

  • The agency is familiar with dioxins, having researched its adverse effects, and if they test the soil in East Palestine for it, they will find it

Thu 2 Mar 2023 09.00 EST

*** begin quote ***

The most toxic form of dioxin is 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin or TCDD. TCDD is more commonly recognized as the toxic contaminant found in Agent Orange and at Love Canal, New York and Times Beach, Missouri, both sites of two of the most tragic environmental catastrophes in US history.

*** and ***

This is important because of the adverse health effects associated with exposure to dioxins. Exposure to dioxins can cause cancer, reproductive damage, developmental problems, type 2 diabetes, ischemic heart disease, infertility in adults, impairment of the immune system and skin lesions.

The EPA is very familiar with dioxins. For more than 25 years, the agency evaluated and assessed the risks posed by exposure to dioxins. They published multiple draft reports on the health effects caused by exposure to dioxins. They published an inventory of dioxin sources and devoted an enormous amount of time to studying dioxins. The agency knows this chemical very well.

So why is EPA unwilling to test for dioxins in the soil? My guess is because they know they will find it. And if they find it, they’ll have to address the many questions people are asking. It will not be easy to interpret the results of the testing for dioxins in soil, but to avoid testing is irresponsible. The EPA’s mission is to protect human health and the environment. Clearly the situation in East Palestine is the place where EPA should follow its mission and do right by the people who live in this town. EPA must test the soil in East Palestine for dioxins.

Time for the politicians and bureaucrats to get serious about protecting the public. (Like that ever mattered to them.). If they don’t, time to force them out and make them get jobs IRL!

INNOVATION: Why can’t air tags be put in a shoe?

Monday, March 6, 2023

I wonder when someone in the shoe business gets the bright idea to enable shoes for children and mentally disabled adults to have an Apple Air Tag or Tile Tracker to be inserted?  Then when someone goes missing, they can be quickly found.  Seems like an easy design change.  I was thinking about cutting the heel of a sneaker, hollowing out “cave”, putting an Air Tag in, and the epoxy the cut.  I was concerned that it might make the shoe uncomfortable.  I’m going to wait for him to outgrow his current pair and has a new pair ready to put into service. Then do a human factors test,  Laugh!

Found an interesting report of doing this exact idea.

cakeism

noun. the false belief that one can enjoy the benefits of two choices that are in fact mutually exclusive, or have it both ways. 

📝 The first records of the term come from 2016. Derived from the expression “to have one’s cake and eat it, too,” the term is especially associated with Brexit and Boris Johnson. 

*** end quote ***

I never had the concept of “false belief”.   It goes along with the Overton Window, the JoHari window, and all the perceptions that are “misleading” us.

Iran’s foreign minister could not stop smirking as he was grilled about his country’s record on women’s rights in a combative interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Wednesday.

Hossein Amirabdollahian told the host ‘this is not the way to conduct an interview’ after he insisted women in Iran had ‘all the necessary, required freedoms’ and accused Western media of fueling protests there.

It comes just two days after diplomats walked out of a speech given by the Iranian minister to the UN’s Human Rights Council in Geneva.

*** end quote ***

Sad to say, there’s not much that we can do to convince these men that they are wrong in their world view of women, women’s rights, and their role.  As a little L libertarian, I can’t solve the world’s problems.  BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), we can “help” them understand the issues.  How about we make all their men PNG and they have to stay confined to their cesspool until they fix the issue.  And, they shouldn’t have a role in UN “Human Rights” proceedings!

The Past, Present and Future of Gold

*** begin quote ***

Amsterdam had the first truly centralized monetary entity, as it opened shop in 1609, but the Bank of Amsterdam lasted longer without trouble, having “only” started collapsing in 1790. In essence, the BoA took our love of growth a little too seriously. It expanded from being mostly a storage intermediary for gold and silver to a lender. And, when it turned out it had nowhere near the gold and silver holdings it should to lend the amounts it has, a crisis hit… until banking was made very modern once again, with banks being able to lend far and away in excess of what they have.

*** end quote ***

It seems that a “bank” mixes up a “100% reserve custodian” and “fractional reserve lender”.

“We, The Sheeple” need to insist that the Gooferment differentiate between the two types of entities.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The Prosecution and Police needed a reprimand and retraining in this case

5 Key Facts About The Jessica Chambers Murder Case | Murders and Homicides on Crimefeed | Investigation Discovery

  • Jessica Chambers suffered an agonizing death: Firefighters saw her walking toward them, wearing only her underwear & burned over 93 percent of her body.
  • On December 6, 2014, a 19-year-old cheerleader named Jessica Chambers, pictured here taking a mirror selfie, was set on fire in the small town of Courtland, Mississippi.

Karas said that the judge concluded that any potential prosecutorial misconduct by Champion “was not prejudicial” to Tellis.

The Cell Phone Evidence

Intelligence Analyst Paul Rowlett testified about Chambers’ and Tellis’ phone data, and claimed that phone data put Chambers and Tellis together at the same location just before, or possibly even during, Chambers’ murder. The defense team has questioned Rowlett about the accuracy of the data.

Another troubling point for the defense is the fact that Tellis deleted all the texts and calls between he and Chambers after her death. Tellis, who has always maintained his innocence, stated that he deleted the data because he did not want a dead person’s information in his phone.

The cell phone data appears damning, but according to Karas, cell phone tower pings and other related evidence are not always conclusive — especially in rural areas where there are only a few towers. In these cases, she says, experts have told her that the location of the cell phone can only be narrowed down to an “around two to 10 or 20 square mile area.”

I watched this show all 6 or 7 hours of it over two days.  A lot of commercials and repetition to get thru.

  1. Race and the “Missing White Woman Syndrome”
  2. The Other Murder
  3. The “Eric/Derrick” Debate
  4. The Cell Phone Evidence
  5. The New Witnesses

There were also SIGNIFICANT differences between the two trials that the second jury wasn’t told about that were dispositive.  In my recollection, they mostly went AGAINST the prosecution.

  • The shoddy police work around crime scene search may have missed critical and “finding and photographing” the keys certainly was an attempt to fabricate evidence.
  • The testimony of the first responders in the first trial was very authentic; in the second, they all sounded rehearsed and coached.
  • The cell phone data was unbelievable and unreliable.
  • Where did they dig up the witness that supposedly gave him a ride? Her testimony had to be the result of a quid pro quo from the prosecutor for her son.
  • They couldn’t find the guy that found the keys was totally bogus.

Now this fellow definitely was not the sharpest tack in the box, and probably was a “bad guy” for other things, but the prosecution failed to make a good case.

I especially like the candid gang leader who said: “If he did it, he was a pretty dumb ***** to think he could burn up a white woman in Mississippi and get away with it.”

I don’t think the prosecution came close to proving their case and how can prosecutorial misconduct NOT prejudice the case against the defendant.

Watch it and see how incompetent the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats can be.  And be thankful that you’re not their target.,
