During the 1991 Gulf War, the Iraqis laid over 1,000 mines off the Iraqi and Kuwaiti coast. The predominantly U.S. naval forces did not have sufficient mine-sweeping resources to deal with this situation and had a helicopter carrier and cruiser hit and damaged while trying to clear the area.
The most potent mine-laying vehicles in the early stages of a war may be merchant vessels. Fitting these ships with mines is not difficult. . . . The world had a taste of this in the summer of 1986 when a Libyan merchant ship secretly dropped a number of Soviet mines in the Red Sea.

Good grief she is an idiot:
Psaki Touts Biden’s Vaccine Press Release As ‘Federal Law’ Before Admitting No Official Rule Exists
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki touted President Joe Biden’s vaccine press release directing businesses with 100 or more employees to require the COVID-19 jab as “federal law” on Tuesday, in an attempt to downplay efforts by Republican governors to secure medical freedom for their constituents.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed an executive order on Monday banning COVID-19 shot mandates by any entity in the Lone Star State. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has also taken action to prevent institutions in his state from requiring “vaccine passports.”

This reminds me of the last time I went on a Police Ride Along. I had asked my friend where all the homeless went, they looked at me and said "away". They really didn't know, they just assumed that the homeless problem we were having just moved to another town, but now they weren't sure.
It would seem that even though the homeless issue in Seattle has gotten worse, the number of people that are homeless hasn't grown. Even in the city I live near it's the same. There seems to be either less people on the streets, or just less people. I had asked a Deputy Sheriff friend of mine if it would be possible to do a health and safety check on a whole county, and they told me that it might have been possible before the covid thing, but now they don't think it would work. People might be to afraid to open the door to law enforcement asking if everyone was doing ok. Personally I wonder if the threat of "door-to-door" covid checks was nothing more than an attempt to prevent people from knowing if a neighbor has died or not.
It all seems silly, I know, but they go drive around and see for yourself where are all the people?

Hold the line, Riders.
Justice is coming.
Q
.....In a video message this week, Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara urged his members to “hold the line,” daring officers not to report their vaccination status on Friday and instead flood the mayor’s office with exemption requests.
“It is the city’s clear attempt to force officers with a ‘chicken little, the sky is falling,’ into compliance. Do not fall for it,” he said. .....
.....Donald Trump recently spoke out about the sweeping vaccination goals by underscoring that Americans with natural immunity should be exempted from the agenda.
“They should not have to,” Trump said on Fox News. “If you get Covid, or whatever you want to call it, plenty of names: Wuhan virus, the China virus, you can call it – we got plenty of names. But when you get it, you shouldn’t have to be forced – they want to force people who have had it to have the vaccine. When in actuality, when you had it, you don’t need the vaccine. You become immune. So they say. And it’s rare… that you get it twice…”
“Natural immunity,” Sean Hannity commented.
“It is a natural immunity,” Trump said. “Why are they forcing people to take the vaccine? Remember this: The drug companies make a lot of money. And they like it. I don’t know who else wants it or likes it. When you get it, you don’t have to take the vaccine.”....
.....Rogan remarked that CNN has been “lying about me taking horse medication” and told the CNN correspondent, “Why would they lie and say that’s horse dewormer? I can afford people medicine, mother#er. This is ridiculous. It’s just a lie.”
“Don’t you think that a lie like that is dangerous on a news network?” he asked.
Gupta noted how there were people that did take the veterinary medication to treat Covid, but added, “They shouldn’t have said that.”
“Why did they do that?” Rogan asked.
“I don’t know,” Gupta said.
Rogan played one CNN segment as an example and asked if this is defamatory. Gupta said, “I’m not a lawyer.”
At one point Rogan even asked, “If they’re lying about a comedian taking horse medication, what are they telling us about Russia? What are they telling us about Syria?”
Gupta went into the science behind the drug before reiterating, “They shouldn’t have called it a horse dewormer.”......

They use the same equipment that was in the photo to gather corn and wheat. My first thought was "Wheat from the Chaff" and it is the time of the year to cut wheat but Grassley is from Iowa where their main crop is corn so I am not sure.
The dream sounds pretty vivid. Do you remember what you said? I still haven't dreamt. Let us know if you have another one tomorrow please.

They're coming out of the woodwork now..
Ozzy
Ozzy Osbourne is thanking Lucifer for protecting him from coronavirus.
The Grammy Award-winning heavy metal icon credited Satan for covering him during the pandemic, even as close family members contracted COVID-19.
“My wife had the virus; my daughter had the virus and I never got it,” he told Metal Hammer. “Being a devil worshiper does have its good points!”
Brace yourselves old schoolers....Ozzys not a man.
Britain should brace for an early flu outbreak this winter because cases are already rising in other countries, a top expert has warned.
The UK's flu season tends to last from September to March but the virus does not usually heap pressure on the NHS until January.
Latest surveillance suggests cases have more than doubled in a fortnight but remain below levels seen from the same point of the 2019/2020 flu season. Health officials insist the virus is only circulating at 'very low' levels.
China is upgrading three airbases located opposite Taiwan, boosting its airpower capability in an already tense region that is flush with air combat capabilities. Construction of the new infrastructure began in early 2020 and continued uninterrupted through the pandemic, underlining its priority.
The work at the Chinese air force's bases at Longtian, Huian, and Zhangzhou, all of which lie between 100 and 200 miles from Taiwan, give it an enhanced forward presence near the Taiwan Strait. This, when coupled with the flurry of flights through Taiwan’s ADIZ, all appear to be in line with Beijing’s evolving aggressive posture towards the island nation.

Some interesting Mr Pool comms with 3 posts this eve:

However, the report does look at the hypothetical mass adoption of digital currency. In a scenario in which the UK economy becomes, in the Bank of England’s words, “bitcoinized”, the central bank’s chief monetary authorities would become increasingly unable to influence prices and economic activity as a whole.
...
The report contains a hypothetical scenario in which digital currency served as the basis currency for an economy. Suggesting that price deflation and poor economic performance would arise, the Bank of England concludes that a bitcoin economy would pale in comparison to one backed by a centralized, national currency.

“It seems to me that the United States is making a very big mistake by using the dollar as a sanctions instrument... by preventing payment in dollars for the sanctioned products,”
“if the policy of the American authorities continues… then we will not have to do anything, the US will itself undermine confidence in the dollar.”
Putin’s tolerance of cryptocurrency comes as the White House considers launching a broad initiative to review and coordinate crypto policy across President Joe Biden’s administration that could lead to new regulations. China this year has cracked down on the industry and in September banned all crypto transactions.

If a large number of people were simply dying, and no longer needing to work or eat, wouldn’t that be more noticeable?
If people were dropping like flies, doctors would notice. Funeral directors would notice. Insurance companies would notice. Family and friends would notice.
That doesn't mean the MSM would report it...
