So let's look at the data points we have showing Ukrainian KIA in the 200-400,000 range.

- Population surveys
- Obituary counts on social media
- Cemetery construction
- Amputation disclosures
- Older, inadvertent official disclosures
- Endless connoscription but no army growth

It's all completely internally consistent, pointing to the same approximate number of casualties in the 2-400k range. This is exactly what you would expect if that was in fact the case - all these secondary indicators are consistent with each other and there is no countervailing data besides the obvious lies of Ukrainian officials.

Given that Mediazona's count of Russian KIA in the 30,000 range has recently been validated by another inadvertent disclosure on their side (of some 8,500 WIA returned to duty, total, in the entire VDV for the entire SMO) this also points to an absolutely brutal fact: for every Russian soldier killed in this war, somewhere between seven and thirteen Ukrainian soldiers die. That's apocalyptic for the Ukrainian Army and a disgrace for their Western advisors.

This also, by the way, aligns perfectly with the Ukrainian MoD's claims for -Russian- casualties. This suggests strongly that the Ukrainian MoD's infamously implausibly running count of Russian losses is, astonishingly, actually an accurate report of their own losses.

With regards to "Extinction Rebellion", climate change, which is natural and not man made, does not even make it to the top 5 of reasons for species extinctions, according to corporate science:

"The “big killers” of species, or the main reasons for extinctions in the order set below:

1 Overexploitation (6,241 species)

2 Agricultural Activity (5,407)

3 Urban Development (3,014)

4 Invasion and Disease (2,298)

5 Pollution (1,523)"

For the first time in nearly half a century, Russia has launched a spacecraft that is headed to the moon.

On Friday morning at a spaceport in the far eastern part of Russia, a rocket lifted Luna-25, a robotic lander of moderate size, to Earth orbit. It will try to land in the moon’s south polar region, where the presence of water ice has attracted the attention of numerous space programs, and make a year’s worth of scientific observations.

🌕 Luna-25's Russian Historic Mission to the Moon's South Pole! 🌕

For the first time in the annals of space exploration, the Luna-25 station is set to make a groundbreaking landing near the Moon's South Pole. This isn't just another lunar landing; it's a mission that stands apart from the rest. Why? Because unlike previous missions that targeted the lunar equator or middle latitudes, Luna-25 aims for one of the poles!

🔍 Why the South Pole? 🔍

Craters of Eternal Darkness: These mysterious regions could potentially house free ice. Easy extraction of this ice means easy access to water - a vital resource for both humans and spacecraft.

Peaks of Eternal Light: These areas, which remain illuminated even when night falls on the Moon, are perfect spots to set up energy sources.

The stakes are high, and the rewards? They could be as monumental as the very concept of human space flight itself! Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for a successful mission. 🚀🌌

@science

NOW - Russia launches its first mission to the moon in nearly 50 years in a bid to be the first power to make a soft landing on the lunar south pole, a region believed to hold coveted pockets of water ice.

A good jammer is basically a bad quality high power transmitter connected to a basic antenna. Generating a lots of harmonics as well in the range between 500Mhz and 7Ghz. This will disable:
1) drone video channels; no recce and bombing possible;
2) disturbing GLONASS, GPS and GALILEO; no RTH possible for drone possible anymore
3) disturbing drone telemetry channels,; will result in a "Fly Away".

As a former government EMC-EMI lab-TECH, I tested over 1K of drones past 5 years. Most of them from China.
The best jammers, actually have poor quality transmitters with poor filtering. Being of cheap and poor design, they not disturbed specific communication bands only, but generated and abundance of harmonics in between as well. Thereby becoming "wideband" jammers 😁
But there is also a glitch.....
Such jammers could easily be sniffed out by high quality spectrum analyses and directional antennas from R&S as well.

So jammers also show as "sore thumbs' on our spectrum analyzers from R&S (High End) and less expensive and older ones from HP, Anritsu and some other brands.
Triangulation got such jammers pinpointed in minutes.

In war theatres, it means jammers can be pinpointed with ease. That means automatically an Guided Krasnopol or AI missile, which not need RF guidance anymore in its final attack run.

Being a EASA certified drone pilot as well, chinese designers will allready have a solution with their Mini and Microdrones. After all they are market leaders and left (arrogant) western competitors light years behind.

I am waiting when the first turbine or impeller mini drones (up to 4kg) will start to appear on battlefield with speeds op to 600 km/hour will appear.
Commercially components are available freely. And some are flying around allready. However to my sadness the prices for mini turbines went up from average 700 to staggering 1600$ past year.
But I know from Russian Techies, Russia and China should be up to produce these in huge quantities. Because of the abundance of raw materials, which western industries are lacking ....

Firsthand Maui account from long-time friend of the channel whom I trust. Must read:

I was at Kanaapali beach from 1-13th.

Before the fire ever broke out winds ravaged the neighborhoods in lahaina. Shingles ripped off every other house it seemed. Winds were consistently 40+ for 2-3 days. 80mph gusts is what they said and i believe it, at times you had to plant your feet to not blow over walking certain ways.

The town is literally gone. Drove through it a few times. A local told me and my dad this at one point. "I owned two houses, i sold one to the government not long ago, then they burn us out and wont let us back in". He also spoke of their plans to install that smart city that weve seen info on, so this was something locals were well aware of. They intentionally cut cell service and internet. Im beyond convinced of this. We had both for 24-36 hours after the power went out. Then all of a sudden we didnt. They were trying to run people out of lahaina, and perhaps trying to fuck up all the residents in the process as the internet and cell service went just hours before the fire hit the town.

Another local said the towns reservoir was bone dry, and accused that of being intentional. Im not too familiar on what he meant but im guessing this would be emergency water to fight fires based on how he said it but i could be wrong there, he was livid about this though and owned a couple businesses in lahaina.

There was no energy weapon imo. There was a ton of wind. It appears to be a planned fire and comtrolled/directed fire. There was no firefighting that fire that hit lahaina, they were allegedly all fighting a different one at the time it became dangerous. The winds were changing directions with every gust it seemed, though it had kinda been like that (swirling winds) for a couple days i remember standing on the beach watching it burn with my dad and saying something about how it was changing direction but not swirling, just every gust hit you from a different way (and i wasnt thinking much of that at the time, may be useless info anyways)

Only other thing ill say was police/national guard bluntly told us to fly home without our stuff when we got trapped outside of our hotel, they had people sit in cars for 5+ days, locals werent even allowed back in til day 4, but you basically had to choose between a roof and a bed and cell service, and with flights changing a lot of us got hosed because of no cell service. Families were split up for days. Worst one i heard was The Whaler resort announced on intercom it was looking for volunteers to help locals get to south end of island. Guy volunteers. Does not get back to his family now, been separated for 36 hours when we saw him. Not sure if he made it back. (We made it back catching a catamaran delivering supplies, they were happy to take us back, free of charge but i forced them to take some money for supplies).

But after being there and seeing it, i think the most logical explanation is this was a fire whether opportunistic or intentionally started that was allowed or directed into lahaina. Land will change hands. They make land change hands easier if lots of death occurs since anyone living there will be glad to relinquish a home they lost loved ones or with so much tragedy around it. So i assume this land will get bought up pretty easily compared to before. Government was clearly already buying property.

As for posts you see about so and so mansion is fine. I saw plenty of nice homes. Theres usually no fuel around them, isolated mansions with rock around the property or sand. Just no timber or dried shrub. In fact the odd house still stood in the lower end neighborhood. Usually was a house with no tree in yard and some rock work somewhere. Though the fire was burning so hot as you see in some videos youd think itd melt the ones left standing, the winds were so active that it was pretty crazy seeing the glow and flame watching from a mile away.

Anyways figured id send this since i was there. Dont care if you use it. Just leave my @ and whatnot out.

PHYSICS NOBEL PRIZE 2022
SIGNS CLIMATE DECLARATION:
THERE IS NO CLIMATE EMERGENCY ‐

CLAUSER & a global network of over 1,609 scientists and professionals has prepared this urgent message:

Natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming

The geological archive reveals that Earth’s climate has varied as long as the planet has existed, with natural cold and warm phases. The Little Ice Age ended as recently as 1850. Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are experiencing a period of warming.

Warming is far slower than predicted

The world has warmed significantly less than predicted by IPCC on the basis of modeled anthropogenic forcing. The gap between the real world and the modeled world tells us that we are far from understanding climate change.

Climate policy relies on inadequate models

Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as global policy tools. They blow up the effect of greenhouse gases such as CO2. In addition, they ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 is beneficial.

CO2 is plant food, the basis of all life on Earth

CO2 is not a pollutant. It is essential to all life on Earth. Photosynthesis is a blessing. More CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth: additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide.

Global warming has not increased natural disasters

There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike natural disasters, or making them more frequent. However, there is ample evidence that CO2-mitigation measures are as damaging as they are costly.

Climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities

There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic and alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy proposed for 2050. If better approaches emerge, and they certainly will, we have ample time to reflect and re-adapt. The aim of global policy should be ‘prosperity for all’ by providing reliable and affordable energy at all times. In a prosperous society men and women are well educated, birthrates are low and people care about their environment."
