Paleo Bible

This blog introduces the new Paleo Bible app. Before that, some updates to the Story Grid. Then a discussion on Revelation 18, which showed up in last week's Sabbath Reads and informs an important headline. Finally, a headline review.

Story Grid

Ryan continues to work on figuring out the set of stories that make up the inspired subset of the Bible. The Story Grid app is where most of this work is happening. This week he traded rows for the Gospels of Luke and John.

This was driven mostly because this new placement causes the individual stories within those Gospels to follow patterns related to the row letter. Perhaps the easiest place to understand the letters is by thinking about the Qu Map. Let me start with John.

John

The Gospel of John is now on the Sa letter. So think about the Sa location on the Qu Map.

The Sa is a model of a post. This picks up the common meanings of the word post in English. So a post in a building or a fence post, or parcel post or outpost. On the Qu Map you can find San Antonio as the mapped US city. This city grew around the Alamo, what was an outpost. You can also find the iconic tower of the Americas, so a huge post. Historically there was also a major warehouse district, so parcel post. Jungle Cruise, at Disneyland, matches River Walk in San Antonio and picks up another theme, which is running from those who might seek your life. A row of posts is some sort of weak protection like a fence.

So going back to the Gospel of John we see themes similar to these across that Gospel. First point to notice is how nearly every story takes place at an identified location. Much of it takes place in secret, or at least to protect those involved. Nicodemus at night is done to protect Nicodemus from those who would want to kill him. Feeding the 5000 is an example of the supply sense of an outpost.

John explains that Joshua wanted to go to the Feast of Tabernacles but he needed to be careful because the Jews wanted to kill him. Think Alamo, or Jungle Cruise.

Ultimately the row ends with the Seaside Encounter. Here there is a miraculous catch of fish. This is a massive supply, again another example tied to the Sa letter and its related themes. In this last story, Peter is going to be given responsibility for what was Joshua's house. Peter is being "posted" there. He is being given the "outpost."

Note there is a curious number of fish, 153. This is the triangular number for 17, the price Jeremiah paid for land. This strange number is suggesting Peter is somehow following in the pattern of Jeremiah, but presumably with a much larger responsibility.

Luke

The Gospel of Luke is now on the Ze row of the Story Grid.

The Ze letter is a belt buckle. Similar to a lock. A buckle, of course, connects the 2 ends of a belt, so making a connection is a theme for this letter. Another theme of the letter is protecting places where not everyone can go. So secrecy, privacy and modesty are similarly related themes.

On the Qu Map, the 2 places that are most helpful for understanding this letter are Tom Sawyer's Island at Disneyland and Boise in the USA.

Tom Sawyer's island is locked away by raft from the rest of the park. The raft itself is like a buckle connecting to the island. That island is not always open because the island is used for fireworks shows after dark. The island itself is a treasure hunt, guests are looking for buried treasure, ultimately found at the back of the island.

In the USA this is Boise, which is the largest city in Treasure Valley. This is the name for the snake river valley in that part of the state. Again, you can see the theme of trying to unlock buried treasure.

This is also the general location for Idaho National Laboratories, located east of Boise. This is currently used for research and development of nuclear reactors. It is a likely place for the eventual burial of nuclear waste. This is a place where the public cannot go, at least not without permission. Of course the public is kept out for very good reasons. Those reactors and the radio active waste are behind a lock, or buckle.

So turning to Luke itself. Luke's Gospel begins with Gabriel's appearances to Zechariah and Miriam. These are connections being made like the 2 ends of a belt. These connections are being made in private settings. In Zechariah's case inside the Temple while there is a crowd outside. In Miriam's case she heads off to visit Elizabeth, but also to remain in private.

You can scan along the row and most stories involve some sort of important interpersonal connection, often in private, sometimes even at night. The calling of the disciples happens after Joshua is alone on a mountain for a night.

Even some small details involve this letter. The disciples are set to "unbuckle" the colt so Joshua can ride it for the triumphal entry. The very last story in Luke involves the upper room, a place of privacy, and then how Joshua is taken up from them. He was unbuckled from them.

Ryan is now working on story placement across these rows. He has put more attention across the stories of John this week. Those stories seem to be falling into place.

Paleo Bible

Several weeks ago I was suggesting here in the blog that the Paleo Bible app was a "couple weeks away." This past week Ryan asked me for some sort of Paleo search function for the Paleo Bible so he can find Paleo keywords in his ongoing story grid and BRB work.

It is hard to add a feature to an app that does not yet exist. So the first step was to get the app running with live interlinear data. Some of this is running a on shim that will be rewritten later, but at least the general interlinear function is now running.

Please consider this a preview. There is much more work still to come.

You can follow the link above to see this new app. The permanent link is off the front of Paleo.In. It is a web app like all of our other Bibles. So it can be installed on devices and run offline just like everything else.

The Paleo Bible does not yet have search, at least not this week. Search is very, very hard. Because letter level markup is coming, the manuscript does not ultimately have whole words like found in English. So search must be done very differently than we do in our current Bible apps. The words need to be indexed ahead, before they get letter level markup. Search will then work against indexes, not against the text itself. This is on my list of features still to add.

Interlinear Principles

I am currently attempting to identify all of the paleo root words found in the running text of the Bible. I have never had a strategy for this task in the past that actually worked. I was always in a hurry, so I was not giving time to understanding the real problems.

Words come to us as some sort of root that is surrounded by both a prefix and some sort of suffix. These are single strings of letters that must be broken apart. The prefix becomes stand alone words, usually 1 letter words. The suffix provides for various grammatical forms of the root itself.

Of course we are using an Aramaic manuscript base for this, and we have English interlinear available for most of the Bible. For some of the Apocryphal books we do not have an Aramaic interlinear, though you can see by playing with the Paleo Bible app that the Apocryphal books are filling in pretty well.

Troubled English

In this Lexicon work I am finding trouble with how the English is following the Aramaic. This is because 1) English is irregular in ways the Paleo is not. 2) Translators control tone so their readers can see words they expect. 3) The text has been edited, and editors and/or their translators used a different dialect from the base language. 4) Editors were dealing with topics for which there is no inspired vocabulary, so they were reusing terms.

I don't yet know what is inspired. So I don't yet have confidence in what English might be best for any given root. So I am attempting to give a "best guess" at what might be a trustworthy English word that matches each given root.

The lexicon is now an editable and maintainable resource, so it can be adjusted as the recovery work progresses. The English can be tuned as needed. This is an iterative process, and this is only the first iteration.

English Marks

In the Paleo Bible, on the English side of the interlinear, you will see a few important marks. These are indicating future work items that should get addressed as this work progresses. Let me call out the marks that matter.

? A question mark is used to indicate the Lexicon does not yet have any entry to explain the word in question. I am working to load all words into the lexicon. When that goal is reached, these question marks will go away.

?? A double question mark indicates internal problems in the lexicon itself. Typically, the inbound word is parsed, but English is missing. I will address these cases here soon.

- and -- so dash and double dash, are found at the ENDS of many English words. These dashes mark that I had trouble selecting the English word that should match the Paleo word in question. Note that there are a few hyphenated words in the lexicon so dashes mid word are OK.

A single dash marks a mild warning that there might be trouble. There is a suffix related analysis that waits for the entire Lexicon to be loaded. Single dash indicates this word has trouble which is most likely coming from the Paleo suffix. It should NOT be used when trying to understand the suffix. There may be better English.

A trailing double dash marks more serious trouble. This can be for a variety of reasons. Nothing about the English should be trusted. This is usually because there was no consensus in the available English I was testing when I was looking up the word. In this case I generally try and hint at the common English root, if that is even possible. The English word to the left of the double dash is thus an educated, but wild, guess. I treat the double dash as the "wild guess" marker.

Merging Roots

In many cases I find the English translation for a common word will use English synonyms. I am attempting to pick a single English root whenever this makes sense. A recent example was the Paleo word for "little." This can be applied to people, so it can become "young" or "little ones" in English. So I intentionally pick "little ones" as this triggers learning the root as "little."

This makes the English a bit strange. But this encourages learning the root word involved. When looking at sentences in the Paleo Bible built this way, these hints are usually enough to follow along with the meaning of the sentence, even if it is a little strange.

Conceptual Differences

Another word I ran into here recently was the paleo for "dwelling."

Nearly everyone reading this blog is going to picture a house as the core idea for this word. This is a mistake because of our modern world.

The underlying Paleo root word seems to indicate the geographic place where you live, not the structure.

So "camp" and "campsite" are closer in real meaning. Armies gather in these places. We just don't think of a dwelling as the place because we mostly live in fixed houses.

So in my attempt to pick good roots, I sometimes have picked roots that are unconventional because they pick a better concept space. Reading the text accurately requires some level of understanding the way of life of the people involved. I see this problem better now than I have before.

Crazy Differences

Another mind-bending example word from this week's set of words becomes in English "Holy" and "Holiness." This should not have been trouble. But, the Paleo root word here has a full set of the normal suffixes. None of those specific forms, beside holiness, ever gets translated into English at all.

Because English around the word Holy never needs to use grammar, I suspect our conceptual understanding of this word is badly messed up. I just loaded it as "holy--" for all grammatical forms in order to return to it later.

Irregular Du, Irregular Fe

The Du prefix in Paleo is irregular in English. I have loaded it as "of" for all uses in the interlinear. In English this changes based on the subject. "Who" is more accurate for people. "That" is used for certain types of things.

There is a "Fe" suffix in Paleo that I am loading into English as "he" or "his." This is the most common English. But, English for this is irregular. English adjusts the gender, so "Fe" might be "she/her/hers" or it might be "it/its." You will see this in the Paleo Bible interlinear, it is easy enough to see what is going on.

The Paleo I have looked at so far does appear to have a way to indicate some uses of feminine gender. A "Ta-Fe" ending is sometimes used for this purpose. But this is not consistent and may be a dialect issue springing from an editor.

Future Steps

Until we get through audit, we cannot tell what uses of Paleo words are actually inspired uses. So differences in word meaning cannot be accurately worked out until after we have first worked through audit issues. Words which do not pass audit, or which are located in sentences which do not pass audit, should not be used to inform common meaning.

So until that point, current English is a place holder. The lexicon will get adjusted to better English once we get a grip on the problem of inspiration.

It looks possible to add a hinting system into the lexicon to handle English irregularity. I have experimented with what those hints would look like. I am happy that such hinting is possible, but that work waits until later. Fine tuning English is not a task until after audit work is done.

Let me switch gears to the Revelation 18 story from this past weekend's Sabbath Read. That chapter hangs on the word Babel. A few weeks ago I showed how to define modern Babel. That definition was not complete. Let me review that term.

Babel In Palestine

When I originally worked through the Bible Time material I saw the 1948 formation of modern Israel as the "Jewish Return to Modern Israel."

I used that expression for a long time. It is based on the "7 times" prophetic offset from when the Babylonians invaded Jerusalem in Jeremiah's day. So this crude English construction was not so bad at explaining the headline.

Though I have not yet built the Crown Exhibit, I am starting to see history a little different. "If you cannot remember history, you are condemned to repeat it" is a different view, which is at least a working memory peg. This view is what we use whenever we rerun timelines. We expect the textual story to inform a headline in some way.

So instead of thinking of the Jews as returning to Israel, we should see the invasion by Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon as happening again in 1948. History was simply repeating at the 7 times offset.

In this view, we can expect that in Israel we will eventually see a Persian king involved in Temple rebuilding. This follows the "history repeating" view and has no explanation in the Jewish return view.

What is missing in this view is who or what was the Babel who invaded Palestine in 1948. In the language sense, of course, the heirs to the editors were involved in that invasion. But geopolitically, who is the powerful Babel that forced that 1948 invasion of Palestine?

So this past week's Sabbath Read included parts of Revelation 18. This is an end-times story about the fall of prophetic Babel. This chapter basically identifies the agents who are behind Israel, including all the way to this day. This chapter fills in our understanding of Israel. It also informs another obscure but very important headline this past week.

Let me start by reviewing Revelation 18, and what it says is going to happen. Then we will look at this week's headline.

The Fall of Babel

The link here is to Revelation 18 in the BRB. This is the core story that was at the bottom of last weekend's Sabbath Reads.

With all stories like this, there is the problem of identifying the modern location where it will take place. Conceptually, we have available to us all the information in the Lost Tribes study. We also have available the timeline. We also have available all generally known facts about the world.

Stories like this tend to pick off a cluster of identifying marks in order that at least some of them can be used by readers to match the fulfillment venue. If that chapter is new to you, or you are trying to learn how to do this yourself, I suggest reading the chapter and try and identify the modern location on your own, before you read my answer here.

In this particular story, there are certain identifiers that narrow down the problem and eventually we can identify London as prophetic Babel. Let me work through the main details.

The first main clue is the references to the "double portion." See Revelation 18:6. This is a tribal identity that applies only to Joseph. The seal date for this was in 1941 with the lend lease treaty that established funding for World War II. That date, of course, was between the US and the UK, which are the 2 expressions of Joseph's double portion. This is a point where BibleTribes.org goes into the details.

This narrows the search down to the English speaking peoples. But, how do we get to London?

In Revelation 18:10, Babel is called a "great city." So we would be looking for a great city somewhere in the English speaking world. In the UK the candidate is London. In the US that would be New York or perhaps one of the other large US cites. In any case, the judgment being described is now applying to a city somewhere in the English speaking world.

In Revelation 18:16 we see yet more description of the city itself. It is wrapped in basically "red white and blue" and inside is "gold, precious stones and pearls."

The cloth wrapping is a pointer at the flag. So the USA, the UK and for that matter Russia, all have this color of flag. So this is not particularly unique. But it is again limiting us to Joseph, but with a specific flag.

That same story also talks about an internal identifier of gold, precious stones and pearls. These are similar to what Solomon was collecting when he built his temple at Jerusalem.

These particular items are marking the reserve assets of international bankers and central bankers. Gold is the most common. In 1971 Nixon, at the direction of central bankers, took the US Dollar off the gold standard. Gold, of course, is referenced in Revelation 18. No gold means no ability to repay debt. Oil was established instead, and oil only pays interest. Once Iran wins, then there is no means to even repay interest. The Iran war is important.

Note that I am pointing at the US Dollar as the effective currency for London. Why? Central bankers use the currency of the largest military. After World War II, that shifted from the Pound to the Dollar. Bankers ultimately don't care what currency they are using.

So now we still need to narrow this down to either London or New York. The Federal Reserve has a building on the mall in Washington DC, but the main operation is in New York to be near the headquarters of the other main banks of the USA.

London, though, is a better match to the Revelation 18 story. The "City of London" is that square mile in the center of the metro area with its own legal rules. In particular, this is where Jewish bankers have mostly controlled the money of the world since about 1600 when usury was legalized in Britain.

By Revelation 18:17 we reach a passage dealing with boat masters and sailors. This is where the story narrows down to one of the main remaining industries of London.

If you have been tracking news for the last couple years you've probably heard how the west has regularly intercepted ships of the "Russian Shadow Fleet." France did this again this past week. This is a form of piracy on the part of the Zionist west.

Calling these ships part of a "shadow fleet" is a great example of Zionist narrative formation. Technically, a "shadow fleet" identification means the ship is NOT INSURED by any insurance firm based in London.

The problem with the war around the Strait of Hormuz is the insurance that ships need to travel at all. That essentially always comes from London. It is how London still takes a cut of every cargo shipped pretty much anywhere in the world. They close that strait at will simply by cutting off insurance. This is the industry that Revelation is using to mark London. This is how Zionists can open and close Hormuz, even without sending any naval ships to the region.

Revelation 18:11-13 gives a list of 24 different types of cargo that are associated with Babel. Again, London insures the transport of all of these things. In history they protected these items with their own naval fleet. Now through insuring, so taxing, all of these cargoes move around in the world at London's permission.

More Details

Once the city identification is made it is possible to scan it again looking for more details. Some of this is tied to the general history of London.

The 2 main historical points that matter is how London became the effective western capital of the Roman empire after the collapse of that empire. I was taught in school that Constantinople became the eastern capital while the western capital remained at the city of Rome.

I have read alternative history that suggests the culture of the western Roman empire remained better preserved at London because it was isolated on an island. London was across the English channel like Constantinople was across the Bosporus. Roman historical remains dot the landscape of southern England to this day. Think of the Roman Baths at Bathe. Think of Winchester's roman road design. Roman territory actually stretched up to Hadrian's wall.

Thinking of the Roman empire as splitting east and west suggests one capital went east and another capital went west. London is the western choice as the heir to the Rome where Paul ended his recorded travels.

Moscow, by the way, would be the modern heir to the eastern Roman capital. That matters to this week's headline.

Benjamin

Joseph was also brother to Benjamin. Joseph and Benjamin interact in strange ways when Joseph reveals himself to his brothers.

Benjamin was later mostly absorbed into the Jebusites. Reading that story in the Bible we can see links back to Sodom. We now know this linkage is expressed with terms like the "Epstein class." Modern politicians are chosen because they are fornicators of the worst sort.

Banking is another important historical national business of Benjamin. The Paleo root word for "Pharaoh" is the paleo term for "pay." Pharaoh can be known as a "pay master" or similar. The Pharisees of the New Testament are just "little pay masters." We know them as money lenders and bankers.

There are various banking centers in Europe. The Bank of International Settlements in Switzerland, for example. But London appears to be the operative capital for banking in the western world. It was London money and political power that drove the creation of modern Israel. There is a very well documented history of how London was ultimately the agent behind the formation of modern Israel. There are many, but let me review the easiest to remember.

Balfour Declaration

The link here is to the Wikipedia article with details of the Balfour Declaration from 1917 when Britain announced their intention to set up a Jewish state in Palestine.

Flipping this to prophetic vocabulary, this is prophetic Babel from Revelation 18 announcing their intent to invade Palestine as they finally did in 1948.

Modern Israel, of course, can also be called out as prophetic Babylon. They are the local agents from a bigger empire. This is all linking us back to calling London out as the capital Babel. This is in agreement with the Revelation 18 passage calling out London as Babel.

We can see more ancient manuscript hints at this in Revelation 18:3, where fornication is called out as an aspect of this end-times prophetic Babel. There was a cell phone video floating around a few months back of an apparently naked young man fleeing out an upper window of Buckingham palace. Presumably fleeing for his life. The Epstein class is going to be running everywhere.

Speed and Permanency

Near the bottom of Revelation 18 there are some details about the eventual destruction of this same prophetic Babel.

First point is that it happens fast. 1 hour is the time given in Revelation 18:19. In terms of ancient war, even World War II grade war, a 1 hour destruction of anything is nearly impossible.

Revelation 18:21 describes the weapon used as a "mighty stone." The most dense stones on earth used as weapons of war are nuclear. This is why depleted uranium bullets are used. They are more dense than lead. One large nuclear core will take out not just London, but southern England as well.

Professor Karganoff has been on western podcasts trying to warn the west that the western actions are causing Russia to contemplate the use of nukes in order to try and stop this war. So far, the new discussion is the use of small nukes as an attempt to get the west to back down.

Revelation 18 is telling us that Russia will not be successful in getting the west to stop attacking Russia.

Once Russia has enough and decides to nuke London, they may choose one of their larger weapons. Something that may take out not just London, but all all of the southern British Isles.

A large nuclear strike may leave a crater so deep that London is filled in by the sea, never to rise again. Mighty is the Lord God who judges her.

Current Headlines

This week we passed the 85th anniversary of the start of World War II in Russia. They call it the Great Patriotic War, because they were defending themselves from European, primarily Nazi, invasion. Russia has been fighting off Babylonian invasion since at least Napoleon. This is a long term goal. The bankers want to conquer the world. In any case, we are now 85 years out from the last time this was tried by war.

Russia is commemorating this event in various ways.

27 Million Trees

The link here is to a TASS post on Telegram with details of one of those commemorative projects. In this case the planting of 27,000,000 trees. 1 tree is being planted for each Russian death in that war.

But, the day after the Russian day of remembrance, we saw something else happen, also commemorating the 85th anniversary of the start of World War II. Here is the first link I saw in my news stream of what happened the next day.

Britain Attacks Russia

Leaked German Audio

This was the first, formal, overt attack on modern Russia by Britain. The attack was intentionally timed to mark the 85th anniversary of the start of World War II. It was ordered by British PM Starmer as his last act before leaving office. Starmer appeared to have delayed his resignation in order to be able to sign off on this attack, and leave his successor free from guilt. Of course they all work for someone else, perhaps the king, perhaps the king's banker.

Starmer was crying when he gave his farewell speech in front of 10 Downing. Likely those tears were because he knows he just caused the eventual deaths of himself and everyone else he has ever known. He just triggered the eventual retaliation by Russia as recorded in Revelation 18.

The Zionists have set a trap for Putin. If he does not respond he is seen as weak. If he does respond he gets blamed by western media as having started World World III. The Germans leaked some audio that points the finger at Starmer. Someone in Germany knows they also are dead because of this action.

By the end of the week Putin had brushed off the attack, and delegated response to the Russian military. Russia is stepping up operations against Ukraine. The Russia strategy is apparently to conquer Ukraine itself so future attacks must be launched from NATO territory. This would give Putin, or his successor, the moral authority Russia needs to deal with Babel directly. Russia is a moral people unlike anything we know living under Zionist rule.

I should note, that Russia does not get out of this mess without trouble too. We will return to Russia as needed in a future blog.

What I have sketched out here is how to link together all the war fronts going on around most of the world. The capital where this originates is called out in Revelation 18. That capital is fighting wars of conquest all over the edges of the empire. Most of Central and South America has now fallen to the empire. Russia, Iran and China are the 3 big powers not yet subdued. These 3 don't appear to fall before the events of Revelation 18. After the events of Revelation 18, the world as we know it is different. Likely timing for the main events in that chapter starts in early 2029, but can stretch out to 2038. Western leaders are publicly calling out 2030.

Watch Dates

We are continuing to watch 2026-07-13 as the next prophetic date in the current series. We will return to this date as we get closer.

Note that this past weekend there were some meetings held in Lake Lucerne area of Switzerland between the USA, Iran, Pakistan and Qatar. These meetings are attempting to work out a possible agreement beyond the MoU that is currently governing the cease fire with Iran.

These talks involved several points where the Iranians walked out because of Tweets issued by Trump. Is Trump an idiot? Or does he just play one on TV? Most likely he is trapped by Zionists telling him what to say.

There is some oil flowing through Hormuz. There is not enough to prevent tank bottom issues in the USA in the next few weeks. This is expected to be different in different regions of the USA. Gasoline is expected to be easier to find than other fuels like diesel and jet fuel. The west coast is expecting more trouble than the gulf region.

Shop Work

I continue to be focused on getting words into the lexicon. Here are the current stats as of this week.

The lexicon currently has 268 roots. This is going to be double counting certain roots which have mid-word inserted vowels. This is a curious problem for the audit to look at. An example is Qu-Mo. This is the root for "stand" or "rise" and it has 3 other forms with mid word vowels. Those vowels never add anything to English and I would expect the audit to remove them. We'll see.

There are 7149 different inbound word entries spread out under those roots. There are 43,764 still to add to the lexicon.

In terms of manuscript coverage, the lexicon can explain 340,913 inbound words. There are 195,107 words which the lexicon cannot yet explain. This is also a strange count because the lexicon often creates stand alone words in the final manuscript. So final word count is much higher than just adding these numbers together.

In prepping the Paleo Bible for release late this week I did see some situations where words are in the lexicon, but not creating English interlinear entries as expected. This is very raw new code. It will take time to settle down. There are still many bugs.

Headline Review

The following caught my attention this week. This has been mostly a slow news week without much of high interest.

Threats At Belarus

When Trump signed the MoU with Iran in Versailles, there was a group of European leaders who were also at the table. We don't know for sure what was really discussed, but escalation of the war seems to have been the main topic. Starmer's attack came after. So too did Zelensky start escalating against Belarus. The link here is to a post on Telegram with at least some details of that threat.

Again, the west wants to tell its public that the west was attacked. Western leaders want a moral imperative which they do not have. These attacks are trying to create that imperative. So far, Putin has played this game very well. He has a bunch of skilled advisors. The west is just gangsters.

Geofencing American Churches

The link here is to a long post on X detailing how Zionists are geofencing American Christian churches. This is a process of using cell phone tracking data to see who goes to church. As Netanyahu recently boasted, everyone has a piece of Israel in their phones. He should have added, and tracking where you go to church.

Ultimately someone wants to know everyone who regularly goes to church. What evil do they have planned? Debanking? Exploding phones? Flash mobs?

This post also details 1,700 pastors flown to Israel. By this they become Babylonian? Maybe a trip to London would work too. Unbelievable mess we live in. High tech was supposed to make life better. Instead it makes life very dangerous.

Red Heifer

More red heifer stuff. This link suggests Israel now has a domestically bread red heifer, not some Texan import. This makes it more pure. The timeline suggests Persia will issue the authorization to rebuild the temple. I doubt Persia needs such a heifer.

Ford and GM for Weapons

The link here suggests Trump has convinced Ford and GM to build weapons instead of cars, converting factories to build bombs for use against... Russia.

The strange problem here is these companies are no longer that good at making cars. So now they are going to be making missiles? Maybe Ford will open service centers at missile silos? That might be one way to prevent Word War III. (I'm sorry, this is all just so funny. Technically, I am getting jaded, and have fallen into using gallows humor.)

Is Trump an idiot? Or does he just play one on TV?

These already fragile companies now need to be boycotted for participating in genocide. They are on the wrong side of history. One possible answer is for their management to take as much time as possible to produce missiles. Maybe they will naturally take the same time they took to produce interesting EVs?

Running the clock is an interesting strategy for these companies that already regularly run the clock. Stall for 12 years you guys, shouldn't be hard.

Musk risks the same boycott related trouble with Starlink. Perhaps Trump is blackmailing everybody. Musk's problem is different. His companies are talented enough that he cannot use stalling as an excuse.

Venezuela Quakes

The link here is to a Lord Bebo post on Telegram with a video clip reminder that we had a double set of M7+ quakes in Venezuela. This is so large that it will take a few weeks before we know the death toll. Several other videos follow this one in that channel. Much widespread destruction including collapses of various modern towers.

Trump has been stripping Venezuela of resources to fund the empire. This quake should draw resources back to that country in order to support local rebuilding. In any case, not good.

More Later,

Phil
