Hi Gallier the Elder
You’re right the world of politics is rarely guided by the small citizen, perhaps locally, but even that is subjected to outside influence in ways it should not be.
I’m going to check out the linked piece.
And here’s hoping we all have a good summer, starting today the first day of summer and the summer solstice- Armegeddon is on my mind. War and financially for many many people.

Oh dear Penny, you are of course excused. Who would not want peace, except bought politicians and arms producers. But the world of politicians is rarely guided by the wishes of the small citizen.
I white on a side, where interesting about the topic war to read is. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/dissecting-west-point-think-tanks
I wish you and your family, and all commentators here, a nice summer. May it not end in an Armageddon!

In laymen terms, and this going to be rough to explain.

While using a car you have to from Location A to Location B. But while you could go in one go, which you would normally do(like how normal internet works).

Now with Tor you move from Location A to Location B making use of several warehouses between the two spots.

So instead of making a direct passage to Location B, you now go to a warehouse where you leave your car. The people in the warehouse blindfold you and move you from one warehouse to the other until you get to your destination. At your destination you pick up your package and get moved back to the warehouse you left your car(might be a different warehouse aswell, part of the service). This way is someone was following you, they would have a hard time figuring out who was in what transport and keep things under the radar so to say. Specially if there is a high volume of people making use of the service, you wouldn’t be able to connect the dots.

This is a very rough explanation and does not translate 1 to 1, but idea should be correct

Hi Kaz, well that’s interesting!
See this stuff is out of my league- I’m having difficulties understanding this site and managing it on my own- but it’s a learning curve and I’m trying!

Thanks for the suggestion radar! 🙂
I can’t speak to TOR myself, but, if others can and do use it and they can get here to read- that’s great!

Blocked resources are blocked, can’t be helped. But using TOR to bypass is not something I would recommend. There is not concrete signs, but enough speculation that U.S agency has control over several exit nodes where they could sniff data and use normal users to hide their own Covert traffic.

Hi Gary
I didn’t think you were suggesting that Russia not use this weapon- I felt you were rightly pointing out how terrifying that weapon is. And it is!

The DU tipped missiles wil sicken and kill for decades- the thermobaric pretty much ensure an instant or near instant death- it’s all awful

Hi Gallier the Elder,

yes, and all those things are true- make the best of what you have because, sadly, it can always be worse-
I had a tough childhood, myself, so I understand what it means to make the best of things or simply push on through- knowing you’ll come out okay-

But I find war so utterly horrific and brutal- it’s something that should only be taken up in the most necessary of situations- and those are really always few and far between.

At the heart of things, I’m completely anti war- thinking that diplomacy is the primary way of political dealings- but I also realize that war making is big business, very big business, like pharma companies, these industries provide the weapons of choice to fight that which should be avoided at all costs.
Example- diplomacy over war
Example- proper nutrition, clean water and clean food as well as clean living over pharma drugs and jabs

Perhaps I’m too much of an idealist? Oh well I can’t change now
(sorry for the ramble)
