Well written. I generally agree except about about the extent of the loss of agriculture market intelligence: U.S. farmers have access to an extensive network of formal and informal market information channels

Frank Herbert warns dramatically against attempts to 'total control', not only does the illusion leave the desirers vulnerable to unexpected events, but the universal reality will just go around them with the necessary changes.

This is also the message from Philip K Dick.

Glenn, have you and the Durans considered the possibility the Western fascist mercenaries (And shooters of Ukrainian conscripted civilian retreaters), were sent to Kursk to remove them? It would be very embarrasing were they to be captured during the fall of Ukraine and paraded on liberated Ukrainian TV along with their documented crimes against the Ukrainian populations. For the US and the other Western authoritarian regimes.

There's no way little green man is capable of thinking up such plans as an invasion of Russia - he was brought into this plan once the CIA had it moving, and according to Alexander, Sirsky was also not imformed. (Not informed he was about to lose all his Western 'elite' forces until it started? :o ).

They wouldn't be the first NATO sheep-dipped 'knew too much' dead either, many 'mercenaries' were found dead in Mariupol (I think it was), fx.
