February 2024 Ramblings

 I found the movie "The Imitation Game" to be a very well acted farce similar to "The Inglourious Basterds". Historically accurate in that there was a man named Alan Turing and WWII did happen. As TIB was accurate in that Hitler did exist and WWII did happen. Beyond that, the movies were entertaining make-believe. I feel sorry for those who might accept the movie nonsense as fact.

Speaking of nonsense - Joe Biden. I'm not sure the guy is going to make it to November. He just had a Federal prosecutor decline to indict over classified documents because Joe's mental capacity is that of a feeble old man. 

The border has me concerned. Over 34,000 Chinese immigrants illegally entered the US in 2023 (US Border Patrol contacts - so we can reliably assume a much higher number entered). Many of which were single men of military age. Bret Weinstein interviewed some of these men in Panama and found them very tight-lipped - not at all willing to divulge their reason for heading to the US. Whereas other immigrant groups would share how they were fleeing conflict, poverty, etc. Thousands of Chinese military?

I was hoping the border would force Biden's hand. But his handlers seem determined to leave the Border unsecured as long as possible. A game is being played with aid to Israel and Ukraine - it is almost as though Biden is willing to concede Ukraine to Putin in order to keep our Southern Border unsecured. This is like the movie where the plane is in a steep dive and you keep wondering when the pilot is going to pull up. Are Biden's handlers really going to destroy Biden for sake of future Democrat voters?

Back to young Chinese men in the US for a moment: I heard a rumor that they were buying guns and practicing in Idaho. But they can't legally buy guns and nothing has been reported in Idaho where I reside.

A second fear of Chinese military age men is the remembrance of the Beslan Russia school massacre in 2004 (Google it). I've been comforted that our security apparatus tracks known Islamic bad guys deals with them before they can carry out an atrocity. But what about PLA military? We have zero intelligence gathering on China's soil and we have little experience in dealing with a domestic military operation - as opposed to a couple of jihadist crazies. Schools to power stations - a lot of vulnerability.

I don't think Joe's going to reelected.
