Beware of RGPO & IG (Range Gate Pull Off and Inverse Gain). There are many tricksters out there, as I am sure you are well aware. Haven't touched an AN/SLQ-22A(V)1 or AN/ULQ-6B since 1977...there may be more clever gadgets out there by now.
Yes. Different vocabulary for STG/STS v. EW.......sound v. RF. Have worked with ET(SS)'s before at ET(SS) Class "A" School. Bubbleheads and Airedale's always seemed smarter than me. It's the natural order of things and the doings of those PN-2612's.
Small world, shipmate. I have seen and talked to you on MeWe and read one of your short stories, and when I get time will buy your books. My reading queue has me really backlogged.
Is that part of the test where the goal is to center on seeing how long they can hold their breath? Or is that a cold water plunge for us? Used to do that after PT when I was stationed in the tropical climes. Very refreshing. I miss that. Anymore, a shock dose of cold water or wind near my nethers makes them turtle terribly. Coaxing them back out can be problematic.
I think part of "their" strategy is to exasperate us with obfuscation, babblespeak, TL:DR's and scary, depressing screeds so that we'll tune out and seek solace in Krispy Kreme donuts. I know a lot of people who have tuned out and seem happier for having done so. But I remember that blurb in the Captain's Night Orders that said, "Eternal vigilance is the price of victory." And most of us still remember the oath we took when we joined the military. I gnarf a few Krispy Kremes now and again, but it's only to give me energy.
What if you find yourself RULED "by people who don't answer the hard questions, have weak or no data, and are surrounded by fanbois " (like, oh, the media) ?
I stockpile things for the inevitable collapse. It may not guarantee my well-being, but it gives me solace. Being ruled requires consent. Most of us are faking it for now, right?
Lest we forget, there was always SOMETHING there at first; "venture capitalist Marc Andreessen" created the first modern "web browser" Mosaic while in college, and commercialized it as first Netscape and later Mozilla (the "Mosaic Godzilla"), which really WERE world-changing technologies. Calling Andreessen a "venture capitalist" is to point to his WEAKNESSES, not his strength.
30+ years ago the Soviet Union fell. We won the Cold War. Thought it was over for the Commies. Scratch that thin veneer of pseudo-skin off those folks in Washington now and underneath you can see our own home-grown commie reptiles. I was thinking at first that Maskirovka might have substituted well for misdirection. Then I was thinking of what Pogo said in 1970, "We Have Met The Enemy and He Is Us." *sigh*
I always felt like Sulla was going too far especially once the proscriptions named people just because of their property. I am increasingly nervous we cannot pull out of this nosedive without a comparably drastic correction by force
There is the "us" True Believers and the "them" True Believers that Eric Hoffer warned us about. How can this end well? Makes me want to say, "The Sulla solution would sully us all once the Rubicon has been crossed", but that makes it sound trite instead of terrifying.
"Walk away from personalities whose credentials are their personality." There is so much wisdom in that sentence it shines like gold. BZ.
not just your money. your health
Target acquired, weapon is range-gating.

bubblehead here, if my weapon is range gating, you're hosed.

believe me, I understand the backlogged reading queue! Thanks for the kind words.
Nicely said. Maybe a bit of a cold-water plunge to help center us for the new year…

In your personal financial life,if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t so avoid it.

Not so much faking as withholding the final argument.
Stockpiles are nice but training and tribe are at least as important.
As seen in our current government. Pillagers of the public fisc, to accrue power and money for themselves.
Boring AND hard

It is time to ask very direct questions of people in power, with harsh responses when we get lies and misdirection, in return.

Pogo was a singularity observant Possum.
