tsunkasapa Report post Posted June 21, 2021 9 hours ago, Rahere said: OK, the big hammer then. Right now, Robert Schumann, the founder of the operation I went on not only to work in, but to complete, is up for Sainthood in the Church. We already have a Nobel Peace Prize in 2012, for the reintegration of Europe, which I led on and actually got to make happen, myself being detailed off the welcome the First Secretaries and Defence Attachés of the Eastern European States, the first morning of the first step into full accession into Europe, with the Western European Union. I later completed Gandhi's work, tying up the loose end he was working on when he was assassinated, not as a personal initiative, but because the Nation concerned came to me and asked me to help, so I did, making something new, exactly as you make something new when you take a knife to leather, with an idea in mind, experience to make it happen, and the resources to deliver to hand. But you know what? It was lined up for me on high, only an utter idiot could miss. As the office boss Javier Solana said, so unexpected was it, "How on earth did that happen?" This is why Rome's scaling it up further, because the credit goes to the bloke on the cloud. The essence of it is that, as Henry Ford said, history is bunk. It's not where you were, but where you're going. Living in the past, wallowing in partly-fabulated mythology passing as history, just leaves you repeating the same old mistakes. I'm not a redcoat with a stock driving my head up into the sky, an ill-educated horny-handed son of a plough. They tell me I may gave set the top bar for brains. My reply is I was made that way because it was the only way a human could cope with the Boss, 'im Upstairs, however you know him. I'm the worthy child of my parents, my dad left us with hip implant technology, the ISO Standard for Pressure Vessels used in nuclear reactors, and the coordination which saved thousands of lives at the start of this pandemic, turning idle manufacturing plant to produce medical ventilators in just four days. After succeeding with the ISO standard, he did exactly what you would have done, made a masterpiece to celebrate, firing up his forge and crafting the first Pressure Vessel Quality Advisory Board certification stamp. Mum was former SOE, a Resistance fighter in Belgium, who went on to work as PA to Krishna Mennon, the Indian High Commissioner in London in 1946-7, during the Indian Independance talks. And that is why I have the authority to cite the Mahatma's reply when asked about Western Civilisation. He said it would be a good idea. Make it so. What I did was nail Clausewitz' nonsense, that war is the continuation of policy by other means. Glib, certainly, but shortsighted. No war has gone on eternally. I'm actually an academic expert in the roots of the Enlightenment, and part of that is shaking out from the near-collapse of Europe in the wake of the Black Death. It's a lesson in power play I well understand as a former European Crisis Manager, the finance man in the CFSP State Department. I saved Albania in 1997, at the head of the team of economic experts who sorted the wreckage of the Ponzi scheme which wrecked their economy, and did the pathfinding for Malta's accession to Europe. Essentially, given all wars end in peace talks once they've exhausted their economies, why start? My own body, the Western European Union, was born from the team of Civil Servants sent in in the wake of the Allied Armies to sort that mess out in 1944. That turned into The Western European Defence Organisation, and spun NATO off. So don't talk to me about future fears, please, you've over-egged the case. The UK's a generation since we disarmed our civil community, and is still producing the world's finest soldiers. Kids wandering around pretending to be a militia are just a joke, a sick one, admittedly, but none the less not to be taken seriously. I've spent 18 years as a top professional keeping the peace and have been personally recognised by the Heads of State, which is quite a story. I have the gongs. I'm fully certified both psychologically, by the Church of England, and Harley Street, as a seer medium, my weird having done its bit in full view of both the top medics and half the UK Government in 2015, accurately handling at four hours notice a major strategic issue, which from my side simply meant digging the study paper I'd started working on six months previously, knowing the question was coming my way. It may have caused the current fixation on geeks and misfits. You may dismiss this as Mitty syndrome - I'd reply you're actually perpetrating Cassandra's Curse. These things don't just happen, people like me make them happen. What am I doing here? Because one essential prerequisite of having your head in the clouds is keeping your feet on the ground. As I demonstrated in the Mexican harness thread, I also spin and work in rope. And long may that continue. Rant on, no one is listening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a unit constituted before a Nation had a Standing Army, of professional soldiers living in the civilian community until such time as their specialist skills are needed in defence of their Nation. Our Sappers were mostly miners, I was a logistics specialist employed by a major engineering company. The RMRE are possibly the oldest unit in the world, dating from 1415 or before. In organisational terms, it is listed in a separate section of its own between Regular Army and Reserves, because it's Regular, but not full-time. Your Militias were likewise constituted before you had a Regular Army.

Treaties can be dumped by those involved, like Brexit.... I know, I know....Don't feed the troll....My Bad. No, the Vienna Convention has. That's the UN and ICJ, the basic mechanism for diplomacy. You sign a treaty, you stick with it unless ALL signatories agree to dispense with it (eg Treaty of Brussels 1954). One party cannot ditch it unilaterally just because it doesn't suit. This is why the ICJ exists, to decide if a State has cause for complaint against another, and what a just solution should be. The US won't remain a world leader very long if it starts cowboying around, I assure you. Brexit didn't dump a treaty, it used Article 50 in the Treaty to withdraw, in due and proper legal form. There's a difference. The EU's German President has a very legalistic outlook, and a distinct dearth of practical experience. She had to be moved out of harms way after she f'ed up her previous job, Defence Minister, by leaving her Army without boots for years. So you may well find dear Ursula's the perfect person to take the US to the ICJ. It might not get her very far, certainly, but it'll give Russia a right belly laugh in response to the US interfering with their pipeline deal. References to Canada are not far away. Again, the reason the Vienna Convention was created was because your suggested policy was becoming commonplace. This is why your Security Services lined up behind General Milley in January, he talked of a Reichstag moment. That was very much Trump's advertised intent, and could have happened, had the Pretorians backed it. The thought of a new Fuehrer, which would have had most of the rest of the world in kittens had it happened, was clearly ludicrous to all but his hardcore devotees: his retreat to the bunker had many of us thinking of the same precedent. The world has moved on, and that kind of person isn't fit to lead a horse, let alone the world. He's a throwback, and he knows it. Me? I was 20 years, give or take, a senior staffer in the European State Department, and I'm the only spouse in 70 years to meet the standard set by the Rosenberg Interdict. Seriously. We held Germany's reins from 1945-1990, until such time as the Nazi party had become history. The UK outlaws such bodies routinely, making it a criminal offence to be a member. The US should consider doing likewise: there's plenty of precedent in the activities of the House Un-American Activities Committee, and what could be more un-American than trying to overthrow the Constitution by force?

No, because it still comes back to the basic question of marketability of certain products, things Etsy bans. Unless and until controlled availability is taken seriously everywhere (ie never, because there will always be some fool who knows better), it's hopeless to have it otherwise. I've just been explaining the international legal context, which is not that of the heyday of the cowboy. In the 1930s, what was suggested was true: it led to war, so the ground rules were changed.
