Auckland time zone TJ. The 3am "tweets" are Donald Trump style insomnia "tweets" but prolix whereas his are brief.

I wrote a big post but just lost it.

I had just gone hunting for USA/NATO attack preparations when spastic clicking lost my post. Anyway, here's Atlantic Resolve army.mil 100 years since WWI and they are lining up to do it again, or replay the 1812 Overture, or the Charge of the Light Brigade/Crimean war, or Barbarossa. The military masters in the Pentagon have apparently no sense of history. Obama perhaps wishes to go out with a Big Bang. He has certainly got it lined up ready to go, along with threats and accusations to justify any MADness as in Mutual Assured Destruction.

I'm not really at full power or full spectrum. It's really just going through the motions. I have a good understanding of cognitive dissonance now. My heart's not in it. I won't bother trying to resurrect the rest of my excellent post.
