Is OAN controlled opposition? Or is this a hit job on them? - from RT telegram:
One America News Network 90% funded by CNN owners AT&T (Reuters)
Court documents seen by Reuters reportedly reveal the conservative network is almost entirely funded by platforms owned by AT&T, and was even the brainchild of the telecoms giant execs.
“They told us they wanted a conservative network,” OAN CEO Herring reportedly said, per Reuters. “They only had one, which was Fox News, and they had seven others on the other [leftwing] side. When they said that, I jumped to it and built one.”
The AT&T since then reportedly provided tens of millions to the network, with ninety percent of the revenue coming from the AT&T-owned platforms.
According to 2020 sworn testimony by an OAN accountant, Reuters reports - the network’s value “would be zero” without the contract with DirecTV, which is still 70% owned by AT&T.

This is getting pretty surreal now... remember the leads about "then strike like the fastest thing on earth!" - think it was Sun Tzu?
Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, strike like a thunderbolt.
Nothing can stop what is coming.
Nothing!
Rig for Red.

Wonder if that U.S. submarine struck a PLA navy sub. Possible if the Chinese play the same games with their submarines as they do with their fighter aircraft.
That guy Bernard Fick needs a new surname. In German, it means what it kind of sounds like in English.
Cheers
......The South China Morning Post reported the unmanned underwater drones could also be pre-positioned along the ocean floor, lying in wait and activating in the event of a military conflict.
Liang wrote that China has continued to advance its unmanned underwater drone technology in the years since the 2010 test, including improved sonar systems and improved artificial intelligence and communications systems that could allow multiple underwater drones to coordinate as a fleet to attack the same target from different directions. Liang also wrote that an improved power supply for the drones could also allow them to wait for longer periods of time before they are activated to attack enemy vessels........

Beijing going to be unhappy, GI ...
Sad thing is how many countries (including the USA) signed up publicly to treat Taiwan like dirt just so the communist riff-raff in Beijing could strut about.

"Why just two dozen members? Why secretly? The US should send 240 servicemen publicly, in US military uniform, and make public where they are stationed," Hu Xijin, the editor in chief of China's English language Global Times, considered a mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, wrote in a tweet accompanying the Journal's article. He added of China's military, "See whether the PLA will launch a targeted air strike to eliminate those US invaders!".....
it is the PLAN (navy)
....The reasoning behind the pansy being the symbol of freethought lies in both the flower’s name and appearance. The pansy derives its name from the French word pensée, which means “thought”; it was so named because the flower resembles a human face, and in mid-to-late summer it nods forward as if deep in thought. The French believed that pansies could make your lover think of you......
Pansies were used to foretell the future for King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table. Plucking a pansy petal, the knights would look for secret signs. If the petal had four lines, this meant hope. If the lines were thick and leaned toward the left, this meant a life of trouble. Lines leaning toward the right signified prosperity until the end. Seven lines meant constancy in love (and if the center streak were the longest, Sunday would be the wedding day). Eight streaks meant fickleness, nine meant a changing of heart, and eleven signified disappointment in love and an early grave.
Movie fans may remember Disney’s classical animated adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, which features a chorus of singing pansies.
China is home to an estimated 100 million dancing grannies. Square dancing allows older women, many of whom live alone or with younger family members who they accompanied on a move to the cities, to socialise. They form strong bonds, often shopping or doing other activities, including group investments, together, the South China Morning Post reported.
State media has described the square dancing, which has its roots in the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s, as a “positive and effective way to reduce the medical and financial burden as well as increase the life quality of older people”.
“Many participants are retired, their children are no longer around. Square dancing becomes a place for them to have a social life.”
In 2019, Tianjin City added new regulations on the promotion of civilized behaviors, allowing police to fine the dancing grannies up to 500 yuan (£56) if their music is too loud in public.
Some disputes have escalated to violence. In Shijiazhuang, neighbours fight back at the grannies by spreading stinky tofu, paint, and engine oil while they are dancing. One media report described a high rise resident throwing human faeces out the window at them.
“Most of them are the products of the Red Guard era, they don’t respect society or the environment,” said a young Chinese resident of Guiyang, who did not want to be named.
“Square dancing is a problem left over from history. Many elderly people feel that the whole China is built by their generation. They have the absolute voice and status. We young people have done nothing, and of course are not qualified to question them.”
The stun gun and other devices for sale online are part of an emerging market in goods to push back against the noise pollution while avoiding interaction. “I tried to communicate with them once, but the police stopped me,” said the Guiyang man. “They thought I was going to do something bad. You know the golden rule of Chinese policy: the larger number of people matters. Everything is based on social maintenance.
“Great invention, with this tool I will be the boss in the neighbourhood now,” said another. “This is not just a regular product, it is social justice!”
