Rapists!

This is coolbert:

Rape as a weapon of war!

Male on male rape in this instance!

At least to my knowledge nothing like this has occurred in one hundred years!!

Thanks to the English Guardian the article by Cecile Allegra that tip from Freeper.

"Revealed: male rape used systematically in Libya as instrument of war"

"Male rape is being used systematically in Libya as an instrument of war and political domination by rival factions, according to multiple testimonies gathered by investigators. ..In several instances, witnesses say a victim was thrown into a room with other prisoners, who were ordered to rape him or be killed. The atrocity is being perpetrated to humiliate and neutralize opponents in the lawless, militia-dominated country. Male rape is such a taboo in Arab societies that the abused generally feel too damaged to rejoin political, military or civic life."

"Too damaged". "Humiliate and neutralize". Exactly. Rape not so much an expression of sexual lust but rather a power trip for the perpetrator. "I dominate you and you submit to my will!"

English army officer as prisoners-of-war of the Turk during the Great War subjected to male on male rape. Degradation, abasement and humiliation the goal. The enlisted men will no longer respect you or submit to your orders!! You the victim too your very psyche and confidence in yourself probably ruined more or less forever.

Traffic.

This is coolbert:

Kim! Listen up and listen up good now!!

DPRK = NORTH KOREA.

A message is being sent to the North Korean! I hope they are receiving it. If they are not they should be! Perhaps if they have not received the message some one else will notify them [DPRK] in a MANNER THAT IS UNMISTAKABLE!!

"Here Are Some Interesting Details About The Way U.S. B-2 Bombers Trained Over The U.S. To Strike North Korea"

That article by David Cenciotti from the Internet web site "The Aviationist".

"Some unusual activity took place in the skies over Missouri a couple of weeks ago. Including B-2s referring to air strikes on DPKR target on the radio. Just routine stuff or a message to Pyongyang?"

"What appears to be a medium size exercise, involving several different assets, took place over CONUS (Continental U.S.) in the night on Oct. 19 and Oct. 18, 2017."

"Tons of military traffic, including B-2s and B-52s bombers, E-3 Sentry AEW (Airborne Early Warning) aircraft supported by KC-10 and KC-135 tankers were involved in a series of simulated air strikes on little airports all over Missouri. Radio comms [communications] over un-encrypted UHF frequencies as well as the use of Mode-S and ADS-B transponders . . . what is really interesting is the fact that, during one night, one of the aircraft radioed a message about a 'possible DPKR leadership relocation site' whose coordinates pointed to a hangar located at the Jefferson City airport."

Tons of military traffic [radio comms] sent in the clear [un-encrypted] manner FOR EVERYONE TO LISTEN TO AND TAKE HEED!

Unusual activity of this type purposeful not unprecedented. Think Giant Lance of 1969. Again, a message is being sent the content of which should be crystal clear to everyone. Kim too!

Carrington II.

This is coolbert:

UNCLASSIFIED.

"We want to continue building on the outstanding cooperative working relationship with the ARRL and the Amateur Radio community,” English said. “We want to expand the use of the 60-meter interop channels between the military and amateur community for emergency communications, and we hope the Amateur Radio community will give us some good feedback on the use of both the 5-MHz interop and the new 13-MHz broadcast channels as a means of information dissemination during a very bad day scenario". - - Army MARS Program Manager Paul English 

MARS = Military Amateur Radio System! ARRL = Amateur Radio Relay League. Interop - interoperability [the ability of radio systems to work together].

Click on image to see an enlarged view for all the tails. That message from the American Radio Relay League [ARRL] to all amateur radio operators. Exercises of this type not existing in a vacuum. NOT unprecedented!

Again, 4 November. Just a day away now. Those of you that possess high frequency radio receivers [VHF and UHF too] might want to tune into the activities.

Good hunting! And remember, it is just an exercise!

Carrington I.

This is coolbert:

4 November 2017. Mark that date and mark it well!

Forewarned is forearmed! Prudent and rational measures!

“This exercise will begin with a national massive coronal mass ejection event which will impact the national power grid as well as all forms of traditional communication, including land line telephone, cellphone, satellite, and Internet connectivity,” - - Army MARS Program Manager Paul English.

Preparations a prudent and reasonable the great fear in this case a solar flare ["massive coronal mass ejection event"] causing disruption and world-wide disturbance of a nature not seen since 1859!!

The Carrington Event!! 1859!

A solar flare of enormous proportions causing disruption on a planetary scale. Electrical and electronic devices either destroyed or made inoperative, for all that will mean for modern society!

London in 1859 an artists presentation of what the sky looked like in the immediate aftermath of the solar storm.

Regarding the Department of Defense [DoD] drill:

"DoD Plans Solar-Storm-Based National Blackout Drill During Antifa Protests In November"

"According to The National Association for Amateur Radio (ARRL), elements of the US Department of Defense (DOD) will simulate a  'communications inter-operability' training exercise across the United States on November 04-06. The announcement released on October 24 has not been widely distributed to the media, because the drill is simulating a total grid collapse and could spark public fear."

The electrical grid, indeed, all forms of electrical appliance and device as moderns understand it not present in 1859. Telegraph that only [?] widespread use of electricity at the time the Carrington Event causing disruption to telegraphy systems on a worldwide basis.

"Telegraph systems all over Europe and North America failed, in some cases giving telegraph operators electric shocks. Telegraph pylons threw sparks. Some telegraph operators could continue to send and receive messages despite having disconnected their power supplies."

Wait until the next one!!

Statues.

This is coolbert:

"Activists beware: Today, you remove the statues others cherish, but tomorrow the statues you revere may go" - - Ralph Peters.

Thanks to the New York Post and the article we have the pronouncements of retired Lt. Colonel Ralph Peters on the subject of General Kelly and the Confederate statue purge.

You need to read it all!!

"Kelly is right about Robert E. Lee"

"In these willfully ignorant, fiercely partisan times, let’s recall that we fought our bloodiest war to end human bondage. Almost three-quarters of a million Americans died in a complex struggle that began to right an inexcusable injustice."

"Now we’re re-fighting our Civil War with neo-Stalinist, fact-purging propaganda that makes cartoon villains of the dead. We rush to tear down statues of men we refuse to understand. We rob one group of citizens of their heritage to please another"

Consider also that Great Compromise as agreed upon by the warring parties in the AFTERMATH of the American Civil War, North and South it being agreed that:

1. It was good that the Union was preserved. [and it was]
2. The Southerner fought bravely for their cause. [and they did]

A reasonable compromise to heal and establish long-lasting peace and a compromise I agree with 100 %.

Compromise.

This is coolbert:

Loud and Clear

"General John Kelly: US Civil War That Ended Slavery Was a Mistake"

"Chief of Staff General John Kelly — frequently praised by liberals for being the adult in the room of Trump’s White House — gave an interview yesterday to Laura Ingraham where he said the US civil war happened because of a failure to compromise, causing outrage across the country."

Failure to compromise? NO! Emphatically NO! Compromise between the states in all cases regarding the issue of slavery.

For a FORTY YEAR period prior to the Rebellion and secession of the Southern states there had been NOTHING but compromise or proposed compromise.

Those most significant agreed compromise to include:

1. Missouri Compromise.
2. Compromise of 1850.

Add to list of agreed compromise those compromise and amendments not adopted or ratified:

3. Crittenden Compromise.
4. Corwin Amendment.

Indeed! The U.S. Constitution as adopted in 1787 having a number of compromises regarding the issue of slavery:

    "The new Constitution of the United States has compromises to protect slavery. Representation in the House and Electoral College is increased by counting each slave as three-fifths of a person (Article I, Section 2), the passage of any law that would prohibit the importation of slaves is forbidden for 20 years (Article I, Section 9) and the return of slaves who escape to free states is required (Article IV, Section 2)."

Lack of compromise? NO!

AFA Hagen.

This is coolbert:

COA = Committee Operational Analysis.

CBO = Combined Bomber Offensive.

"AFA Battery Works, Hagen"

"Supplier of all U-boat batteries"

Batteries in the sense of for underwater power and also for torpedoes too. The soup to nuts mix.

SUBMARINE BATTERIES AS WILL BE INTUITIVELY UNDERSTOOD A CRITICAL MANUFACTURING CAPABILITY OF THE GERMAN DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR. THE IMPORTANCE OF THOSE FACILITIES PRODUCING BATTERIES AN ASPECT OF THE ALLIED COMBINED BOMBER OFFENSIVE  SEEMS TO HAVE MORE OR LESS TOTALLY MISSED BY ALLIED PLANNERS.

See thanks to the wiki a listing by priority of those targets as deemed vital to the German war effort and obvious targets for the allied Combined Bomber Offensive.

"In 1941 and in the Pointblank-Directive 1943 the Allies under-estimated the importance of this industry and its production of U-boat batteries. The Hagen plant was the only known production site that the Allies had information about. The Hanover and Posen plants were not discovered by the Allies until 1945."

"After the war, the Allies commented that their under-estimating of the production of U-boat batteries was a great failure because the consequential elimination of the Hagen and Hanover plants would have resulted in a reduction in the shipbuilding of U-boats and would have had serious consequences for the operational fleet as well"

"It must be said that the Kriegsmarine was particularly dependent upon the AFA and its production of batteries for their U-boat needs, and in hind sight the Allies suffered a missed opportunity to cripple the U-boat fleet's effectiveness much earlier in the war than was done."

THE HAGEN PLANT NOT BOMBED UNTIL RELATIVELY LATE IN THE WAR. THE OTHER TWO PLANTS PRODUCING BATTERIES NOT EVEN KNOWN ABOUT UNTIL AFTER THE WAR!!
 
A submarine battery consisting of over one-hundred cells [the image accompanying this blog of a single cell] the dimensions and weight of which were:

"Each cell about 54 inches high  [1.4 meters], 15 inches deep [.4 meters], and 21 inches wide [.5 meters, and weighs about 1,650 pounds [750 kg]."

And thanks to the U-Boat.net Internet web site.
