Channelling emotions

 Love and Hate are both powerful emotions and as creative and productive as the other destructive and lethal. Where I grew up the masters of hate took cover and kept developing their skills to put hate over love into human hearts.

Like in Star Wars the Emperor manages to push one of the most promising Jedi to the dark side, by playing hate into his heart and creating a channel for it, the new locals here are nice and welcoming to just cause pain and misery.

I always had an advantage by my skin disqualifying me for any other position, but being a slave, yet they tried hard and keep trying.

Instead of loosing it and freaking out I put the hate they taught me into training. From home alone push and sit ups to running and skateboarding or martial arts training I created my own channel for the hate all around me and got as a reward an even better skill set, even more self-control and even more ability to love.

I never took any toxic drugs and even kept low on prescription drugs in a world that had nothing to win for me, in which resistance is the only option except hate is the choice of live.

The others here in Hells Kitchen than just got more jealous as the better is their natural enemy and to survive I learned to cover up my actions and abelites as it is incredible how much on man can achieve, if he gives a shit about who takes the credit.

Since, I read in history books about the black death I knew that another disease would come along, but it was not HIV and if it is Corona is not sure yet, but this system called free, yet being based on credit line slavery and pure theft, will come to an end that most likely will be a mid-age like collapse and time of war and turmoil, because those being successful in it are incapable of admitting their mistakes and starting reforms to make it become fair. 

Basically, our free world is tolerant to the intolerant and accepts them in powerful decision making positions all over.

The others lived their hate and jealousy, pretend and lie when ever they can and managed to turn the average down onto historically unseen low levels yet keep pretending everything is better than ever.   

If I am right the near future will bring death and collapse of the world we know. A dystopian society would be the best we can get out of this broken system based on lies and a Mad Max world the end of all mankind. 

So, where do you want to go today, tomorrow and the day after? Love or Hate? Training or Drugs?

The biggest Sprawl on earth is....

 

In the Cyberpunk Dark Future dystopian utopias a Sprawl is a form of a MegaCity and home to millions of humans that are connected creating a micro cosmos in which only the MegaCons really have connection to other places.

And of course the elite of the underworld, the Shadowruners. 

Most will think of LA or London and possibly the Rhine-Main Area as a Sprawl and the first Shadowrun novels are placed in Seattle.

But, most don't see what is right in front of them:

 

The coast line is almost entirely enlighted at night and the pockets in darkness are few, compered to the towns and villages that row up next to each other all along the coast line.

The road network is Sprawl like well established, but traffic jams are few in rush hour peaks.

But ships make visible what most won't see. The real Sprawl like traffic.

Considering the airplane movements, it appears the poor areas are south...

Lucky Strike without a filter

So, last time when the flies around me here in Hells Kitchen figured out that I am the fan and not shitting anyone I needed the powers of the good herb to drive through hell fire.

Therefore, I used a rolling machine, lucky strike cigarettes, good high quality high-end direct import hybrid, a stamp of the lucky strike logo also to understand the tobacco filter end, king size rolling paper and a paper back fitting the size creating packs of lucky strike without filter, always having a pure one for anyone stranger asking for a smoke.

Anyone looking where his nose goes did no see what expected giving my feet enough time to carry my chest away, smoothly, sweet and easy.

Until next to Adam you can say: Eenn starke vogedreijde, ashtjeblieefd. And enjoy a day off the buzzy zones maybe even having a fresh sea breeze...in all honesty dropping the cover and mask.

PS: I got old for a good reason.

Modern Tank Wars

Heavy tanks that have been considered the main land based fighting force by cold war strategists are shot down like clay pigeons mainly in ambushes by light infantry in Ukraine, yet all of NATO keeps modernizing them. The upgrades are actually only making bigger what turns these weapons into easy targets: The armour and cannon.

But..

You still see shit being inside.

You still cannot hear anything except the engine or shell fired.

You still never had a strategist or politician taking your seat in one of them, just in a manoeuvre.

being a tank crew soldier.

Warfare developed along with industrialisation, but the heads of many think tanks are too heavy to manoeuvre quickly, just like tanks. 

Verdun showed the ill mind of ammunition mass production, by meters of gain for thousand of souls taken.

Vietnam showed mobility gone wrong by an average survival time of sixteen seconds in a helicopter drop zone of GIs. 

And digitalisation in the form of communication and data analytics basically is a topic for Hollywood, but none for tank crews and their commanders.

The conflict in Ukraine proofs that a light mobile force of small groups operating rather independently in a defined area using modern light weapons like shoulder launched rockets, short range commercial drones, light automatic weapons and standard medium artillery from mortars to 120mm Howitzers, using pretty much gang war tactics, are superior than at least average world war tactic based forces.

Instead of building expensive future metal junk being moving coffins for a crew that was even trained for months, the soldiers should learn how to drive off road cars and trucks, motorcycles, fire rockets, use drones, operate and move mortars and artillery, utilise hide and seek tactics, communicate securely and safely giving precise information and what to pack into rucksack, belt and trunk to make it alive out again facing modern battlegrounds.

Or....just drop that big thing and we all tear all known order to mankind down for ever...

NATO Vs Russia

In a YouTube Vid on the Russian military industry that was reformed by Putin and his secret service gang of buddies someone mentioned they founded in 2002 a company with about 100.000 staff entirely for building rockets. 

If I was Putin, I'd take my time waiting for NATO building up their arsenal in the three to four years timeframe that kept running through the media and shortly before the attack, cut a channel from Scandinavia through central Europe straight to the Turkish boarder with conventional warheads bombing all and everything needed for supplies from logistics facilities, to strategic cross roads, fuel storage and pipelines, airports and airfields, computer main frame facilities, telecommunication hubs from wire to satellite base, radio transmitters of all kind for public and military service and if some left also industrial production factories of the military complex. 

Due to modern just-in-time production a motorway cross road is more important than a factory. No lorries arriving, no tanks produced.

That way all troops east won't have resupplies and all west of a belt about 500km in width and 2500km long being modern logistically wasteland got stuck at about the Rhine, which was in cold war doctrine NATOs line of tolerance and if crossed would have triggered a nuclear counter strike.

All for a sudden Russia would have an almost perfect position for negotiations with the Americans and only the Americans, while most mighty NATO partners would be busy with civil war like chaos by the population having figured out that the constant media news on bad Russian equipment was a blunt lie, to have a confrontation on the sea turn avoidable between the naval powers of USA, UK and Russia, China with the less predictable smaller allies from Spain to France and India.

If along with military spending preparing for a last outcry of turning third from cold to hot also recession hits especially Europe, I might find myself stuck in pretty much the geographic centre of that attack, but without any firearms in my possession and surrounded by all those that after a few hours of strategic rocket attacks will mind a very lot that I was not just a joke to laugh about. 

Usually, that's when they get really aggressive, like loosing in Basketball, being outperformed in Skateboarding or getting knocked out in fights on the toilette. Just, this aint angry teenagers and a few teachers with some butterfly knifes possibly, but men with firearms full of hate against someone that already lost all and everything that was ever important by never having a chance to get a fair share of even his own intellectual creations.

The best scenario would be, if the hegemonial powers would agree on competing economically on all levels from building up 80% of mankind to be actually able to afford products and services the industrialised mobile digital world needs new customers for anyway, to secret service intelligence based war fare over eyeing the apparently red button that will kill us all.

It is interesting times we live in...and I won't go back to normal, granted.

My Cyberpunk Crew - The J4V collective

 If I had a Crew again that would be the dudes,

And that me,

Obviously.

And yes. I always have that face expression when anyone around calls a stupid a donkey, caus that stupid doesn't know about us; as in the lyrics from a song "bullet with a name on" published by a band named Nonpoint (that in no way is from them):

[...]

Oh
I'm working harder than a hundred black mules down in Mexico
No water, no cloud, no cover
From the hotter than hell
No dinner bell, empty oven again
From another bad opinion
I mean
Who doesn't want the cars, money
Fame, attention, bars, honey's
Games, attention, stars
Funny, How we say we don't need it
Then turn around and try to achieve it

Money systems

There have been several systems in place to push money into society to make the exchange of goods and services easier throughout history. 

The Egyptians used the build of the Pyramids during the flooding period of the Nile to hand out gold from further south to the people when they could not work on the fields; and giving out money is forbidden in all major religions, which is why especially religious Jews are the investment business big players in the western world and also rich Moslems will not give out money against interests, but only by participating in the profit created based on their money handed over.

Today, we have a system that creates money based on a central bank handing out money to banks based on an interest in percent of the handed out money and the banks give out that money again based on an interest rate to all those that have a security usually in form of wealth over an idea.

Banking therefore has several layers. From the short term credits to get a car to real estate and cash for a company the classic interest based credit based part is creating more overall money. 

Investment banking is usually stock market speculation in which company shares, or other products based on those, are bought and sold based on the expectation of usually future success of the company. The value of a company therefore is not only the land or real estate and all goods created, but also the value of all shares traded. That value goes up and down based on buyers willing to pay a price meeting a seller willing to accept the price and this again creates more money around, yet more indirectly than a bank getting a sum to pass on to the home builder from the central bank.

 If buyers keep asking for a stock and they don't find a seller the stock price will get up and so does the value of the company. No money was printed for that, but the overall value represented in a stock price shown in money gets up and therefore the value rises creating indirectly more value and therefore more money around, becoming a direct impact on the overall money around, if someone takes a credit based on the stocks value as a security.

Only in classic investment banking by becoming a partner on the future profits the overall amount of money around does not rise directly or indirectly.

Especially in alternative medias other systems of money are frequently discussed and promoted, because our interest based system has a flaw and that's a huge one: It creates conflict.

Looking at a simplified version of our money system to understand the problem, imagine to have only three parties: The central bank and two lenders and only one cycle of lending ending in one pay back.   The central bank gives out money in the beginning of that one cycle to the two lenders. That is a 100% of the all around money. The bank does that based on charging an interest rete. Let's say 1%. 

I am always surprised how many pass, on the conclusion, especially having a diploma in economics refusing to either understand or admit the very problem:

That is that both parties have to give back 101% of the money they lend and since both have to do so, the central bank actually asks to get 1% more back than she gave into the market.

So, where is that extra percent supposed to come from, if none of the lenders may create their own money?

Yeah, there can be only one lender surviving the cycle. Banking Highlander style.

The only way to avoid death of any lender is to ask for another cycle and another credit hoping to be more lethal at the end of that second cycle. A world in war...

I agree with most conspiracy theorist weirdos that step into what money is only on the point of this system is creating conflict and in the respect of money systems I am a religious money man.

What, if we had a system in which the amount of money depends on the value of produced services and goods put into the market?

 Every time a market participant creates value, the value creates more money around. 

A car manufacturer pushes a car out of production, the added value for the market which is on top of the cost the needed raw materials is pushed into the market making sure that someone will get the money to buy the car without the need to bring any participant of the money market into a position that is either his death or causing another credit?

Calculating the value is easy, it is the price the car is actually sold for. Like the aluminium, the electricity and rubber or electronics all made by companies that have to declare their profits to both tax and stock market in a tax declaration or stock market rules complying company balance sheet.

That way the overall money around is reflecting the goods and services around in the market and enough buying power is pushed into the market to make sure that competition can remain healthy and fair. 

The more bread around more the more money around and nobody has to be afraid to get taken from as there is enough around and we all have to just keep looking where it is floating.

If this system we have today goes down and I survive the hitting bottom ground I either keep fighting or we go for a value adding system over credit only.

Come on masters, it's sharpened...I wanna have money on the streets.

Information flow

Information such as ideas flow based on the same rules as a Virus or DNA. In school we used to play a game called silent mail in which in a circle of children a word is passed on from ear to ear and trying to keep it the same. I quickly started to manipulate the word and change it based on a rhyme or similar word worked best to avoid getting captured from the investigative teacher looking for the bad boy...

Virus spreading mutate to survive that means that their DNA changes to adopt and develop and DNA is the base information of all and every organic structure. 

Information and ideas are the peak of information spread out the same way. In early childhood I understood that growing up in this place I called Hells Kitchen, and all GIs immediately understood as an appropriate nick name, I will never ever receive fair pay or have a chance to get a share on what I do or create. Here, I was born a slave surrounded by free loaders that would not only steel and copy without acknowledging my most basic human rights, but do a lot that I would keep silent and leave it in peace.

The information itself is more important than the sender or creator and none of the freeloaders all deriving from SS families never understood what it meant. They just used it to make me even more angry knowing that I have no proof to use in court, that the entire system here is made in their favour and kept trying to pull me into their cult. 

They all talk a lot and like to show off living for status and fame while I quickly realized how much can be achieved when on does not care about who takes the credit and I can see that some of my ideas gone more than independent from those around me and their affiliates.

But than, a slave owner does not give freedom to a rebellious slave and only will accept the wilfairy accomplice rising in his favour. 

I am convinced that this time is ending like the pest and wars ended the dark mid ages, because mankind needs more collaboration and I met many others being in an as abusive position as I am within the system that blames to be the free world, but is full of slavery: Credit slaves in fear to loos their home, no free meals, but no work neither, pay not on the value of input, but based on certificates or diplomas and the relationship to the boss, beside blunt copy cat theft leaving no trace even so it must be sure that the publisher cannot be the creator based on his intellect and mind.

This system is about to collapse and again it will hit especially humans like me with violence, but the bandits in power over us will not give up, they never did based on the information from history books and especially all holy books spreading around.

Come on masters, let's get it on.

Ecuador's Kartell curfew

Ecuador, just south of Columbia is on heavy fire from the cocaine drug Kartells and the government declared a curfew to keep civilians of the streets in that very street war.

Fighting Kartells in the Americas south of the U.S. boarder is a form of gang war, but using openly military urban warfare intelligence based strategies and tactics that need support of the locals either by fear and bribing or trust and love.

For years most Cocaine is produced no more in Columbia, but in the deep jungle of Peru and since rural areas operating FARC was taken off the U.S. controlled international terror groups list they might have had so much success protecting and defending the Columbian farmers forced by fear into the Cocaine business, along with the Bogota run government forces taking out major parts of the Mexican origin Kartell operating and controlling the coast line with it's hundreds to thousands of underground cocaine trafficking harbours and submerge smuggle boat ship yards, that the Kartells moved operations further south to Ecuador.

Brazils Favelas, that had been home to Kartell stash houses to split loads for further transport towards Europe directly, Africa's hubs for Europe and Asia, but possibly also to enter North America, have been taking over by Militias that like ancient Knight or Lord Clans take tax in return for protection which is a way better deal than unpredictable junky gangs as neighbours. They tend to do what they say over constantly changing opinion based on the daemons they snore and inject. 

All third world nations have the same problem financing that defence war. Against the support of he civilians trying to live in peace, they face Kartell forces equipped with high-end military equipment and, if junky gangs can't cut it, these organisations are well able to pay even high-end assassins from any secret service gone rogue or most likely from a mercenaries background. They are rare, but exist.

Also, they are often used as a dumping place for outdated western military equipment of high standard, but designed for a world war and no urban gang war, beside expensive in maintenance and often difficult to use requiring dedicated special training. 

Ecuador is important to the Kartells to get the load out onto the sea. The U.S. coast guard uses high end equipment pretty much straight outa Boston Dynamics next gen think tanks like Satellite and high-end radar surveillance on expensive navy forces speed boats including intel from Air Carrier based F-15 and later surveillance jets on either routine or training missions to identify strange fishing boats or narco submerge speed boats. The 80ies style offshore race boats are already out of use since about the 90ies being intercepted in the Caribbean after those waters were turned into NATO Navy training grounds. It's the Pacific coast line now that takes the smuggling routes.

In the same way that a WW2 war bird replica, but equipped with state of the art electronics would be way cheaper to maintain and easier to operate than a cold war designed jet in a field of operation in which super sonic speed is not needed, but the running and acquisition cost is of major importance, U-Boat designs from about the same time are in no use, but would do the job.

Today, Submarines are huge rocket launch pads supposed to carry out nuclear or major rocket strikes being able to shorten the distance between launch and target or come as submarine hunters, but all modern submarines are way off the U-Boats from second world war that had been pretty much speed boats able to dive. 

Despite most Hollywood movies the actual tactic of U-Boat attacks was Wolf like pack sneak on, hit hard attacks covered by darkness and out running the enemy to get away as soon spotted by frigates or destroyers. Last time I checked Wiki listed the top speed of a German U-Boat under water faster than above, which only applies for stormy weather. Actually, the strategy of narco submerge boats to dive only a few centimetres below water is adopted from U-Boat tactics running away after firing their torpedoes or hiding from air planes during daylight. They were pretty fast as a boat and not that fast diving below the flat sea, while difficult to hit moving away fast from any boats cannons.

The physics did not change, but today with modern secure digital communication between turbo-prop reconnaissance war bird replicas, and U-Boat replicas hiding from narco spotters on fisher boats, but easily outrunning narco subs also third world nations could outgun narco forces even in the naval warfare part of the war without facing bankruptcy.
