A new headache arises in an area well-accustomed to turbulence.

Armenia condemned its rival for both the most recent developments and the “mass crimes” it claims Azerbaijan committed during hostilities three years ago. The foreign ministry’s statement noted that the escalation in the region in 2020 also took place in September.

Azerbaijan has pursued “ethnic cleansing” of Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh, the ministry statement alleged, claiming Baku feels “impunity” given its open acknowledgement of its actions.

Earlier in the day, Azerbaijan’ Defense Ministry announced it had launched an operation against what it claimed to be Armenian military assets deployed in Nagorno-Karabakh. Yerevan denies the presence of the units in the contested region. Baku has pledged to only attack military targets and claimed that it was seeking to “thwart large-scale provocations” by the Armenian side.

Here’s hoping Iran, Turkey, or Russia drop the hammer before things spiral again.

A Smashing Success

Ukraine’s NATO’s great “counteroffensive” has succeeded in reclaiming the equivalent of a small US county over the past three months, all of it inconsequential and barely contested or uncontested territory. The price has, so far, been a mere 75,000 or so KIAs, factoring heavily into the 500K KIAs suffered since February 2022. By this link and other accounts I’ve read, many units have suffered 80-90% casualty losses of the men recruited or conscripted for the counteroffensive.

At this rate of defeat, DC may have to send in the F(U!)-35. That is, if they can find it.

Forget comparing wages to major purchase prices from 1973 or 1952. The cost of beer in the UK is up 500% since 1990. Meanwhile, wages have gone from roughly £20K to £33K per year. If they’d kept pace, Andy Capp would have 100K to spend at the pub.

‘Murcans, this obviously does not apply to you. Soon you will have, all costs aside, a B2 with a racing stripe the B21! CWA! CWA!

A General Review of General Intelligence

James Thompson reviewed The Science of Human Intelligence by Richard Haier, et al. It looks like an IQ tour de force.

It is a common trope among the uninformed that intelligence does not account for anything much in the real world. Being smart is being book smart, a rather limited ability. But this is not true. The authors show in tables that the relation between IQ and many desirable real-life outcomes is positive and significant. In contrast, the relation between IQ and many undesirable outcomes (e.g., schizophrenia) is negative and significant. Intelligence enhances and protects.

Other tables show more detailed relations between intelligence and workplace performance—which is high, especially for complex tasks. Despite searching for other contributing factors, including variables related to very specific jobs, a summary of thirty years of research on general and specific cognitive abilities concluded: “Still not much more than g” (Ree and Caretta, 2022).

Like it or not, g is the single best predictor of academic and occupational success. This section should be general knowledge, at least among psychologists.

…

The authors sum up:

Intelligence can be defined; measured; is reliable and valid; tests are not biased against populations when used properly; the general factor is the single most predictive score for a wide variety of real-world outcomes; and is linked to quantifiable brain features that appear to have developmental sequences; individual differences are influenced by genetics although details at the molecular level are only just being investigated; environmental factors are relevant though there is no clear model of their impact on the brain; the sources of average population differences are not agreed but are being investigated; there is no proven way of boosting intelligence though genetics may provide one; being more intelligent is no guarantee of being morally better (though you might be), but enhanced intelligence might help us solve important global problems.

It’s in my booklist, along with 50+ others. Based on Thompson’s review, it looks compelling.

Ukraine Drafts Women

This is beyond disturbing. Women with medical backgrounds and education are involuntarily conscripted now. Evidently, a general female mobilization for combat is coming soon. Read more at RT.

WarNews24/7 has slightly more comprehensive coverage, including recruitment videos. (Translation needed if one cannot read modern Greek.) Most likely by the end of fall or beginning of winter, we will begin to see videos of women delimbed, decapitated, and truncated.

I suppose 500,000 dead Ukrainian men, with twice that many maimed, just isn’t enough. It occurs to me that the satanic Anglo-zionist rulers of Clown World are actively genociding the entire Ukrainian population. Remember they or their predecessors have tried this before.

Ladies in the USSA and W. Europe, it might be wise to pay attention to this episode. This is what “equality” looks like, and these evil bastards will happily sacrifice you too.

Sometimes it pays to heed the advice of an expert – a real one, not the faux “science” kind. Scott Ritter broke down why he thinks Gonzalo Lira is now a mole, plant, or informant working for the SBU.

There is only one logical explanation for this chain of events. Gonzalo Lira was arrested by the SBU for crimes he himself admits gets people arrested, tortured, and murdered. He is released five days later—unharmed—and immediately allowed to resume the exact same activity that led to arrest in the first place, only this time on a computer and email account controlled by the SBU.

This is a classic “catch and release” scenario, with Gonzalo Lira playing the role of “police confidential informant”—someone who provides information in exchange for lenient treatment. There literally is no other plausible explanation for what happened other than this.

Read the whole excellent thing. I still hope he’s wrong, but I have to admit he makes a fair case based on his advanced knowledge and personal experiences and observations. I had not thought through the metrics he used to reach his conclusion. Regardless of what you think or want to believe about Lira, pay close general attention to Ritter’s reasoning and the psy-op methodology he cites. Understanding how (real) disinformation works will go a long way towards spotting future operations, hoaxes, and dangers. And we’re going to keep seeing them.

Also, I’ve added his book to my list. His review of a previous air landing in Novosibirsk (Новосибирск) sold me.

The Fauci emails, not that many read them, contained the recipe for making (in a lab) the C19 cold bug and hoax bioweapon. Now Dr. Roberts reports, backed by legitimate scientists, that all variants of the bioweapon are synthesized in a lab.

Although the whore media and the whore Medical Establishment continue to deny it, we have known for certain for some time from published articles by the world’s leading medical scientists that Covid-19 was a laboratory creation. We know from released official documents that NIH’s Tony Fauci financed “gain of function” research both at the University of North Carolina and then at the Wuhan Lab in China. There is no doubt about this. It is in the grant records.

Now we have a research report from two top Japanese medical scientists who show that all Covid variants are also laboratory creations, not mutations from a naturally occurring virus.

This is a devastating revelation.

At least there is an explanation for the continuing work. How else would the clowns get people to take new and evolving second-stage bioweapons if the first stage didn’t continue to (unnaturally) change first? The solution to all of this continues to remain the same.

Americans would have been much better served if they had avoided vapid creatures like this. But they are a stupid people after all.

Vox, in mentioning more evidence to paint Mr. Lunsford as the fraud he is, noted as follows:

When the United States of America collapses amidst violence, disease, ethnic strife, and religious conflict, as it is likely to do before 2034, I hope that none of you will be so stubbornly and infernally ignorant as to look to the skies and cry out in despair “why did this happen?”

I can tell you right now why it happened. It happened because Americans, and conservative Americans in particularly, are literally too stupid and too naive to survive.

Someone asked on SG, “is there any hope at all for the survival of the USA”. No, there is not. There is no hope whatsoever for the survival of the USA as a unitary political entity of 50 states spanning the North American continent. None whatsoever. And the reason is that after more than 75 years of relentless subversion, demoralization, inversion, and invasion, a significant percentage of Americans still cheer for and support those who are being used to destroy their nation and their society.

A people this wicked and stupid do not deserve to survive.

An unusual file for the nothing works anymore folder:

As Idalia hit Florida, all of NOAA’s hurricane-hunting planes were grounded

As Hurricane Idalia rapidly approached Florida’s Big Bend region early Wednesday morning, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration had to ground its last remaining “hurricane hunter” plane due to a generator failure.

Read the whole thing. With all the increasing talk about outright war between the GAE and Russia, know that the USSAF is in only slightly better shape than NOAA’s fleet. The big difference is that hurricanes can’t fire interceptor missiles nor level air force bases and supply infrastructure (not directly in their path, I suppose). Hurricane’s don’t normally destroy satellite ISR either. Little things like that.
