WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
The View from Above
byVanderleunonApril 8, 2022
Can We Hold the Line? – 4.8.22 – YouTube This is a livestream daily site that tracks air activity (mostly military) in the US and Europe and the globe. He also looks at troop movements between the US and Europe, plus Global Bot activity as well as cyber-attacks and US Immigration flights going to and from the States and Mexico and Central America.
“You can kinda see what we are dealing with here in Europe. It looks like Europe is positioning itself for this thing to go hot.”
“You’re going see what we are giving these guys to fight this war. And it’s going to come back and bite us. I don’t know how we’re going to get to 2024.”
It looks like the propaganda war’s won, morning perusal of the news, views, blogs and dog/pony shows all the bad guys are Russian, the EUs pure Prussian and all are alright with the upcoming fight.

Meh, none of us have any power to adjust, steer or manipulate anything essentially beyond our front doors so I’m not getting excited, one way or another. TGIF. The weather here in the Deep South is warming up and the bluegills will be headed to the beds soon. I have a great wife, a yard man, my kids are fine and everything else is gravy. And best of all, I never worry about anything.

Just adding some standard stuff. The military does: readiness. Repo Man’s always intense! Military’s always getting ready. But, the tempo is disturbing – no doubt. When I see USAF flyovers here, I notice the frequency and number, and direction. I look for anomalies.
Great website.
Biden’s on the way out – percentages are high on that. Did Japan just move on the Kuril Islands? Is the tinder gathered and are the matches ready? WTF is going on with the USMC? Every former MC Commandant in a piss fight with the current corps?
Russia desperately wants to ring Ukraine from the sea, but how do you do that with a limp dipstick army? Ask yourself this: do you want Russia with more power, or less? I did not ask do you want NATO/EU with more power. Never assume the consequent, Aristotle.

You can tell a lot from watching military traffic but just as often all you can tell is there is military traffic. One tell I often experienced was when multiple Air police were guarding a runway, storage location or aircraft inside the AF base when that wasn’t a typical event. When you see a C-17 off by itself with half a dozen or more air police with M4’s at the ready you can be sure that aircraft isn’t carrying MREs.

Struggling a little bit with YouTubers giving all the “inside” information. Having a hard time believing they are “allowed” to just put it out there uncensored. Everything can be digitally manipulated. Just saying, not that I know anything.

That’s a big 10:4 from my perch in these hills. I take everything I read, watch or hear from Medusa with a block of salt.
Amy, it’s ALL propaganda. I heard just yesterday that Russia lost the war! Not that I care a twit.

The war isn’t over but the Russians are in retreat. In that regard, they are losing the war. It’s very plain to see and no propaganda news is necessary to see it.

At one point, MW says that Turkey is Russia’s ally. That is some shit right there, because ostensibly they’re our ally – but then you watch the shit they pull, constantly, and you realize they bed down with the bear.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

“I don’t know how we’re going to get to 2024.” At this point I’d be happy just to make it through the summer. But even that is hit or miss.
What a world.
We?
I plan on staying out of the way til it gets in my way.
“hot” “kinetic” “spicy”, etc.
All the cool terms of late.
Think I’ll make taco’s for supper.

It raises my trust level with this guy.
A bully big country goes into a lil country, curb stomps the crap of of it, and retreats for dinner and dancing.
Casey you do understand this is a girl fight which has no intentions of being over,,,,,,,,,until it’s met others requirements/ expectations
Think I’ll go back to listening the The Grateful Dead Purple Begonia’s? “ Natilla, did I get it correct?
