The Deadliest Conflict is not what you think

If you want to know about the world there are three or four importance sources of information, and yet they show the world in a completely different light.  TV5, CNN and Al Jazera.   They all have their bias so you still have to think, TV5 is great about everything that is not Africa, Al Jazera is great about all things that are not the middle east, and CNN is not great it a source of sensational news that repeat the same thing over and over, but they do have a global reach (I may explain at the end).

By far the worst most dangerous, with the most death and the greatest attacks on civilians is Sudan, that terrible country which seems to go from one great tragedy to another, remember Darfur...

The cruelty, the number of deaths is scale worse than Ukraine and twice that of Gaza (lets not forget that its a tiny territory).   Yet there are demonstration about Gaza and money about the war in Ukraine, and virtually not a single news article about Sudan, with the exception of Al Jazera!  Why?

First, we don't understand or dislike some of the participants; As they say the Jews are not wrong.   America went to war with Iraq after 9/11 because of the attack -- yet there were no links between the 9/11 attack and Iraq, no one protested for the Iraqi!   Russia invaded and took over the land of eight countries between 1999 and 2020 and no one said or did anything.  Why Ukraine? Why Gaza?   

Normally no one would have cared about Ukraine, during the first 30 days of the war, they fought alone.  The Ukrainians proved plucky and the Russian so very incompetent as to almost be comic relief.  Running out of gas after three days and food is special!   Also the Russians are our natural enemies

Sudan is nothing to us, 99% of the population would be hard pressed to show it on a map of Africa.  I understand that a fair percentage of the population would have a problem with locating Africa...still.   As I mentioned Sudan goes from one tragedy to another.  

Finally, Sudan is economically irrelevant, full of losers!   People do remember the tragedy of Darfur, but just the famine and the decades old conflict.  As for the Palestinian and their supporters, well the Jews have screwed the pooch in so many ways.   I find it incredible that the Israeli's strongest supports of destroying Gaza are often orthodox jews -- who do not serve in the military.  There are some incredible own goals in the world, like Gays and Lesbian for Trump or for Palestine.  In both cases, they would be jailed by the people they support.  BTW what does people's sexual preference have to do with foreign policy?

Anyway, CNN used to be (30 years ago) not only the gold standard in international reporting but also the only game in town.   For the past 30 years they have treaded on their reputation that has long ceased to be true, but it is now the only US media that gives even the smallest interest in international affaires.  

The truth is, there is no truth, Sudan is by far the worse conflict in the world right now, and it is almost never mentioned.  That's interesting

Spray painting Taylor Swift G650 aircraft (updated)

 First, a bit of paint will not harm anyone.  These climate activities are going to learn two things in the next few days:  (1) Trespassing at an airport is a felony almost anywhere in the world.  That means criminal prosecution.   (2) removing paint from an aircraft is expensive.   So these climate activists are about to find out the reach of the British criminal system and it will not be pleasant, the UK has very strict laws about that, I would be surprised if cleaning the aircraft of all the paint will cost less than $100,000.     I am sure that when they planned (premeditation) this little show they had a very valid logic to doing this.  Tonight, they are probably realizing the depth of their troubles.   I understand that in the UK it's a minimum one-year jail sentence.    Also, good luck travelling with a criminal trespass charge against you.  I am relatively certain that the airline industry will ...

Farm; Half year performance

 People appear to be genuinely curious. 2024 has been a record first half for the farm.  The addition of high tunnels has greatly impacted our revenues.   While we expected Q1 profits to be higher, it really was the second quarter that produced the goods.  The terrible weather has greatly impacted the production of high-end vegetables. Energy costs are now very stable and have become a fixed variable especially now that our bio digesters are fully dialled in.   Replacing some of our pre-dryer equipment was covered under warranty, and the new equipment is far better at dealing with gas moisture, and much better steel!   Our diesel costs are what they are! Our biologist and ecologist devised a new planting plan for our high tunnels that greatly reduced pests, especially slugs.   We have seen a 90% decline in sluggs this year, resulting in better yields.   It seems that several plants act as natural repelants and if planted c...

Britain, France and Egypt

 The voters realize now that the Conservative Praty desire to return to 19th-century dominance has driven its hatred of the EU.  The voters realize now that departure from the EU has accelerated Britain's decline and may soon make it irrelevant.  At best it will have to kiss American arses to maintain its standing.  For this, the conservatives were punished.  The decline of Britain was inevitable, competition from Frankfurt and Germany in Finance was bound to grow.  The core of Europe (aka Germany) is aging quickly Macron seems to be winning his bet, the left alliance that won the legislative elections will not remain united for long, since they disagree on about everything.   The Far right though it was about to assume power is once again relegated to the back of the bus.   It may draw its own conclusions, but not all of these are good for France.  The far-right has won nearly 1/3rd of the electorate, that is not something to be ig...
