□ [“Sturm Und Drang and Chinese Balloons"]

And here's today's big fun, a Chinese balloon has been going overhead for a couple days.  It's still in the atmosphere, @55 miles high, so it's definitely incursion.  It's generally agreed that national territory stops when the atmosphere does.  Not sure how workable any spying or weapons are from that distance, although balloons have certainly been used as weapons in previous wars.

Which is part of the problem, it's way too easy to go overboard imagining they can do anything with this magic device.  I prefer calm, rational assuming they can do anything with this magic device, but that just illustrates the insecurities we have.  This didn't happen in previous administrations, they didn't get enough money from China to permit this.

So of course we're stuck with differing viewpoints, none of which really make any sense.  Shoot it down?  Send a jet to take it captive and examine it?  Assume it's a friendly balloon?  None of those stick out as the best option.  How much spying can it really do from 55 miles high?  We don't know but we'd rather not find out the hard way.  But then why is it here, spreading a new virus?  The result is to leave the US helpless and defenseless.  Maybe just letting it go by and not responding would be the best decision, we'll never know one way or the other.

Biden Turns His Back on Reporters, Refuses to Answer Questions About the Chinese Spy Balloon Making Its Way Across US
February 3, 2023

My guess is that the balloon is either spreading the next virus (or some equivalent weapon) or it's just there to show off what China can get away with.  If it's the former, it's completely in-line with what our masters want.  As I write this, a new article says it's directly over Saint Louis.

Based on the expected direction, it will be heading right over Fort Campbell, Kentucky, home of, among others, the 160th SOAR.  It'll at least be close enough for special operations aviation to look into it, if that's something they do.  Maybe all their pilots are busy getting vaccinations so they can't fly, or sitting through gender-orientation classes, but anyway...

Or maybe Biden's just following orders.  An enemy nation wants to send something through the US by air, our leader just obeys.  You think China would let a US balloon just pass over them?  Not likely.

□ [“'No! It Was Already There When I Got Here, Man!' – Biden When Asked if He Takes Any Blame For Inflation"]

Whatever happened to "I'll take responsibility instead of blaming others"?  I guess that was just some nonsense he said to seize power and then could ignore.  But those of us who aren't rich and don't have servants to handle all our purchases know how much more expensive everything is now than it was a year ago, two years ago, three, four, five, six years ago.

But as we know, most people in America are rich and have servants, only a small minority are poor, so they don't matter.  That's why Democrats get all the votes.  Remember when Biden said it was "transitory"?  And then he said it was all Putin's fault?  Ah, the memories.  And now it was like that before he showed up in DC, he hasn't done a thing about it for over two years and it's not going to change, ever.

They've spent all this time claiming that the economy is doing great, which is as trustworthy as ending the virus, keeping the Taliban from taking over Afghanistan and the Russia/Ukraine thing being a "minor incursion," just to name a few other claims our rulers made in the last couple years that were completely 100% wrong.

They're going to send men with guns in against anyone who disagrees with them, once the next virus hits in the next few months.  They really don't like dissent.

He seems to be getting worse.  That's natural, aging does that, but it just gives the impression that he has no clue what's going on.  Maybe that's the point.  I've been wondering if culture and pop culture is now about actively wrecking everything they have, and nowhere would that be more noticeable than the fodder who self-identifies as POTUS.

It's like our rulers are trying to impress upon us how untrustworthy these old white guys are, so we need to get rid of them forever.  Never mind that many of them are old white people and far more untrustworthy.  It's an example of leftist idiocy/hypocrisy, we can't trust anybody so that's why we must trust them.  They don't even know how that works, that's why they're in charge.

Naturally there's more speculation, are the real decisions being made by China or our secret government?  Those are valid questions but the bigger question is why don't they see the problems with this?  Maybe it's just opposition to God.  They couldn't be here without Him, which they reject, so they're incapable of understanding anything.  It seems quite likely that people who believe in God can get into similar problems, but accepting the fact of our omniscient and omnipotent creator would let us realize that we're not remotely capable of perceiving of all this, much less judging it.  It's entirely speculation but the number of believers in these situations is far smaller than non-believers, precisely because it's just a good move.

Even without that, there's always the long-standing saying, 'no plan survives first-contact with the enemy.'  This probably contradicts my previous statements on the matter, that leftists *do* come up with plans, but it is recognized that they don't come up with good ones.  Yet beyond all reason, I think they really do stick with the horrible ideas at all costs, and self-identifying it as successful and hopeful, that's probably where the term "progressive" came from.

Massive Explosion Over Billings, Montana – Military Helicopters Have Been Activated – Montana Governor Weighs In

Just another question, but what are they doing with AI these days?  I've heard that some people are using it for school reports.  There are already jokes (assuming they aren't the truth) about it being used to manufacture music and screenplays.  Some of the posters I see on internet sites behave exactly like 'bots but capable of much more complicated interactions with others.

We just had a very entertaining video of Joe Biden saying there are only two genders and everything else is insanity.  It's entirely believable.  Biden is talking coherently and it doesn't look like old footage but otherwise it's totally believable.  It has to be a fake but who did it and what else can they come up with?

That's definitely something I think the rulers have up their sleeve, the ability to fake almost anything and anybody.  There must be some limits but cyberreality has come a long way in the last few decades.  Militaries and rich people would have been exploring the possibilities for a long time.  That's also something we need to look into, how can they use this and how can we defend ourselves?  A part of me still thinks they're trying to fake the climax of Watchmen and this would sure be useful there.
