OSWEDA THREAD ON SULKYMANIAC TAKEDOWN-INCLUDES DIAGHRAM-I HAVE NO IDEA IF ANY OF THIS MAKES SENSE:
I’ve been studying these munitions since 2015.
As you can imagine, there’s no literature on them, so you have to search patents.
These were designed for urban warfare, so they have to have three characteristics:
One: control of the intensity of the blast.
Two: the ability to DIRECT the blast effect.
Three: the ability to make them pure blast weapons OR blast-and-fragmentation weapons.
You control the intensity of the by using dual warheads.
A fuel-air explosive consists of a vapor and a catalyst.
By using a duel warhead, you can determine how much catalyst goes into the vapor. This controls the intensity of the explosion.
This is a patent for a dual or binary warhead.
The catalyst is in the inner chamber (top drawing), and the explosive compound is in the outer chamber (bottom drawing).
We already have airburst munitions, but they rely 100 percent on fragmentation.
Directed-blast munitions are “precision obliteration.”
They’re weapons for urban combat in that they create zero collateral damage.

I DID NOT KNOW THAT. I’m trying to remember what else—there was something about making sure that a drug or arms Trafficking thing was not exposed—gonna have to sleep on it.

Apparently, former PBS newser Tavis Smiley thinks he was Slick Willie.
Ironically, his defense team entered a 500 page investigation report detailing his debauchery as evidence that he is innocent. They argue that accusations of sexual harassment, sexual assault, rape, etc. pre-dated his current contract.
I’m not a lawyer, so I can’t get my head around this defense. Suffice it to say that government-funded PBS knew what a dick he was for around 14 years and had no problem with it. When it became public, PBS fired him and is trying to recover almost $2 million in our money that they paid him. He wants some more millions of our money because PBS fired him and is racist to fire him just because he raped some employees.
You can read more here and try and make sense of it.
I really like that Pic with the bat man shadow.
You don’t pull on Batman’s cap
You don’t spit when given notice
You don’t want the explosive zap...
Then you don’t mess around with POTUS
I read Osweda/Wictor’s thread unroll.
He offers a layman’s analysis, which is okay.
He’s not right.
One example, the ‘concrete’ walls with ‘fragmentation’ damage. Those walls are only kind of concrete. They’re centered with very poorly mixed cinder-blocks then covered with a stucco-like covering. I could swing my...ahem...John Thomas at the wall and knock off some plaster. The holes in the wall do not indicate a fragmentation device.
It was not a fuel-air explosive either. The condition of the bodies does not indicate that type of damage. The fact that the torso was largely intact while the legs were gone is a big cue.
I do agree that this was a different type of bomb that I haven’t seen before.
Good to know. Sorry it wasn’t more helpful.

Here’s ThunderB with a great thread pulling back the curtain and showing everybody why the Deep State SpyGate plotters went after @GenFlynn.
Flynn told the TRUTH about Afghanistan & ISIS when the CIA & others were all LYING about it. ...snip...

What a load of crap. Tucker Carlson has apparently devoted his opening segments tonight to claiming Trump just killed Soleimani for the hell of it and the US is now “lurching towards war with Iran.”
I’m being reminded why I don’t watch this guy. ...snip..

Remember, Obama had a SECRET KILL LIST that he was using to target terrorists - AND THEIR RELATIVES - abroad and we only found out about it because someone leaked the documents to NBC News back in 2013.
Obama killed TWO AMERICAN CITIZENS with no due process. .snip...

MORE BRIAN CATES:
Look, this is simple.
Iran was **escalating** it’s attacks on US targets in Iraq.
Those escalating attacks resulted in the death of an American several days ago.
Then the Iranian-led attacks escalated into attacking our embassy in Iraq.
Trump told Iran to stop.
THEY DIDN’T...snip...

I keep telling you. This not your daddys Democratic Party any more.
GET OUT.
That party is now completely demented.
Trump just killed the worlds #1 terrorist thug after Iran killed yet another American & our embassy in Iraq.
Every top D candidate attacked Trump for it...snip...

That last post by Brian Cates re: get out of the Dem Party—pretty darn good read.
Tucker and Levin are the only ones that I will watch now on FAUX News. I was surprised at his remarks. Guessing he just does not have the big picture.
He had on 3 guests at once to discuss this and let all of them speak even though only 1 agreed with his position. So I don’t know what to make of it.
I read somewhere that Fox Execs have let the anchors know that they must be critical of POTUS or possibly be terminated.
Been a lot of changes there—most recently added Paul Ryan to Board I think, and IIRC, he said he was going to make certain to oppose DJT—or something similar to that.
I never watch Fox anymore—just Fox business—Lou Dobbs mostly. In AM, I’ll watch Maria B. and Stuart Varney, if I have time—usually busy doing other stuff though.
For the past 3 weeks, the only time I turned the TV on, I went to the music channel for traditional holiday music. LOL
Past time for bed. Catch ya later.

I was attending Southern Illinois University in the early 70’s. He was an iconic figure on campus although I don’t think he was a student. Too old even then and kind of a futurist wannabe jerk.
