Hey, at least Daily Mail is no longer owned by Robert Maxwell since he died a while ago.


Just yesterday an "inter alia" contact btwn. Julian Assange and another party, told me that Julian is totally frustrated that pretty much all media is spinning spins. Some hours afterwards Julian is internationally declared "caput gerat lupinum"

In my last post above I made a "lapsus". I dared to confuse the Daily Mail with the Daily Mirror. This is too obvious for a daily media spin which I regret.

I had to look this up:


Caput Gerat Lupinum is a Latin term that means “let him bear the head of a wolf.” An outlawed felon was considered a lone wolf who was open to attack by anyone.

Exactly, in more modern terms an "international arrest warrant" until the wanted subject is actually arrested.

Yes. I guess the "official agencies" do frown on the average citizen exacting justice on their own these days. Lol

It appears even after one week the "official agencies" have the same problem we all have in this situation: how to interpret international law unambiguously and correctly?

Not even the legal status of the "international arrest warrant" or the (legal) existence of an Interpol "red notice" can be determined.

Oh good. I was afraid this thread had died.

I actually suspected as much, I don't know my UK rags very well. I do however get a regular flow of people sending me various articles and this one showed up in a timely fashion. Was curious if anyone could share anything intelligible lol

so some time since my last posting has gone by, and now Interpol actually has a "red notice"

(jokes that i have are now so bad that i keep them to myself)

Disclaimer: here i really know for myself from pristine sources (both written and verbally) some facts which are not public hence i'll keep strict strategic ambiguity but do note my jokes are too dirty to tell -- so i keep them.

Obviously no welfare program hands out tanks...LOL. The point is that it is better for the economy, society, and especially the human psyche to create a job and BUILD a tank than to give it away in the form of welfare. The creation of that tank (or any other piece of hardware) creates jobs, technology, and provides a certain amount of national security. Welfare in general does nothing but create a class of lazy do-nothings that increasingly more and more never do anything. Welfare is good for the truly needy families, but take those away and the other 70% of welfare recipients need to get off their asses.....and build tanks.

And yes, you can sell a used tank to many 3rd world countries.....or melt it down and create more jobs.
