#things that should hurt Prime but Prime doesnt care about anyone but himself so all that revenge is for no one but c137 himself

[lokis-wager]

Don't quite know where my thoughts are about this yet. But one of Rick C-137's greatest faults is his huge dependence on Morty. And one of Rick Prime's greatest faults is not caring about Morty at all.

HIII THABK U FOR THE TRIVIA AND ASHE SONG before i take forever 2 answer those or forget here is a blank ticket to please please talk about prime defenders and their AWFUL emotional literacy and processing skills i would literally love to read that essay so much ive also been thinking about it incessantly. big eyes staring up at u.png. ok ok peace out GOODNIGHT !!!! <33

i lied actually im not going to bed im judt thinking about this ans listening to St. John on a loop now. hello catkiss.gif i forgot how youve filled me with so much joy. that cat is so fuckign cute

anyway. hi :) prime defenders huh. this is gonna be less of an essay and more of a sleepy ramble but ohhh i have so many thoughts. they all process things so differently and none of them are good at it they all need therapy so bad. ms.g where is the hero therapy why didnt you build that into w.a.t.c.h ma'am

vyncent is probably the best at actually processing things out of all of them, he just internalizes everything to the point where he wont talk about it unless hes pushed past the breaking point. vyncent is actually very.. emotionally intelligent? i want to say mature but that feels like im singling him out because hes the oldest. i just feel like because he grew up on Fauna and had to be in basically survival mode in a world full of monsters trying to kill you.. that makes a person grow up quicker than they should. i think vyncent had a good childhood and for the most part his parents took good care of him but just.. living in that world doesnt seem like it leaves room for a whole lot of expressing emotions. vyncent is good at quick analysis of a situation, but unless a problem directly interferes with the current goal he doesnt externalize it to everyone else. but bottling up his feelings and emotions just builds up pressure over time until something like the lich makes him blow up and let it all out at once, usually in a dramatic monologue format bc condi is really good at those god damn it. also they played off the fact that vyncent said all of that to the lich and then missed his attack as a funny thing but i like to think of it as. he got too overwhelmed w his emotions and lashed out too soon it made his fighting messy. vyncent is so angry and honestly after what hes been through he deserves to be !!!!

william wisp. my boy. god hes just like me fr so much so that it physically hurts sometimes. anyway. i always think back to the scene where theyre all in the cabin talking about themselves/sharing backstories and william keeps desperately trying not to talk about himself. the fact that hes so ashamed of his powers he hides wisp form every time. two of his powers are LITERALLY a) turning invisible and b) turning intangible, usually as an excuse to leave whatever situation hes in ("accidentally" falling through the floor at opportune moments in season 1) . theres. a thing that happens at the end of episode 13/beginning of epidode 14 that youre really close to and i wont spoil yet but god it has to do with this so extremely much please come back to my inbox when you get there. youll know what it is trust me. um. yeah. so anyway. i think a lot of this comes from a place of. he doesnt want anyone to be scared of him. williams not stupid hes incredibly smart and insightful he knows his powers are objectively SCARY. hes scared of himself constantly, he doesnt want anyone else to feel that way about him, so he shifts focus whenever those aspects of himself are brought up because if someone were to think about it for any amount of time theyd realize the truth that hes scary and dangerous to be around (<< william logic. hey remember how one of the reasons he originally left deadwood was because the monsters there were attracted to the wisps and therefore Him so he left to keep his friends/family out of danger)

i think a lot about williams death and the immediate aftermath, i dont know how much you actually know and how much of this comes later but . how does he go home after waking up from that. his parents know about his powers, so they MUST know what happened. what do you think he told them when he god home muddy and dirty and broken and probably bloody after being missing for. god knows how long. how does he look his mother in the eyes and tell her her little boy is dead. but hes also not because hes standing right in front of her. how the fuck do you think he felt the first time he went into wisp form and saw his body laying there !!! of course he wouldnt want to talk about that!!!! youre gonna have to pry william wisps emotions from his cold dead hands !!!!!!!

dakota's response to the ashe situation was to run away in the woods and do nothing but train for 10 months. he didnt think about it for 10 months. i dont even have a whole lot to say about dakota other than like. stunned silence whenever his inability to process trauma is brought up because grizzly does such an incredible job at being like "you ask dakota how hes doing and his face is just blank" << paraphrased actual quote from an episode i cannot remember which one. either 11 or 12 ?

also because im thinking about him im including ashe in this. we didnt get to see a whole lot of his canon reactions to extreme emotional situations so a lot of this is just coming from My Mind but ashe seems like hed be the type to repress a lot of his emotions too. being alone in your house/in your room for extended periods of time will do that to a guy. i think he feels a lot of things and will probably very openly cry/scream/get angry when hes alone but as soon as he knows another person is there he can immediately flip the switch to turn it all off like nothing happened. very much a deadpan "im fine." if someone asks how hes doing, even if hes got like. the remainder of tear tracks down his face. cannot physically express his emotions in the presence of someone else

Loser Round 2: Sansa Stark (A Song of Ice and Fire) vs. Tails Nine (Sonic the Hedgehog)

Propaganda below the cut

Sansa Stark (11-13):

Ok so she's doing some mean things in the first book (lying, saying she "forgot" if her fiance attacked her sister or the other way around) and ratting out her father's plan to Cersei the evil queen™ so she's annoying in the first book

After, she's a child hostage in a court where she has 0 ally apart from maybe the creepy guy who sees her as both the child he never had and his crush (who is sansa's mother)

And she's constantly hated on and getting call names

----

Sansa is constantly accused of betraying her family and causing her father’s death despite being 11 at the time of his death. People hold her responsible for the actions of the real villains around her and claim that she deserves every bad thing that happened to her because she chose power over family. Her innocence was manipulated and then ripped away from her in a series of events no one could have predicted (and that’s literally why the series is popular, because no one saw it coming) but she is blamed for not knowing the outcome of these events. Her childhood is denied to her, both in and out of universe.

----

Sansa is 11 when she tells her future mother in law who she trusts that her father is taking her and her sister out of the city because she doesnt want to leave. Despite the fact that her father was not going to leave the city, fans say she should have been executed along side her father for betraying her. It was also common for people to blame her for not loving Tyrion enough, after she was forced into marrying an adult man who is part of the family that killed her parents, brothers, and beat/publically humiliate her on a regular basis. She is "a moon away from turning 13" when the marriage occurs

Tails Nine (8):

it might just be me, but i still keep seeing posts where nine is just summarized as "tails but emo" and it. kinda ticks me off because. nine is very obviously a version of tails that didn't have a sonic – or anyone – to save him, so he grew to rely on himself and *only* himself, and it shows.

there's just... it could've been so easy for the tails we know to have become just like nine if it weren't for sonic. nine never had a sonic to protect him, so he made himself seven metallic tails to utilize instead. nine never had a sonic who made him be proud of his tails, so he makes it look like he only has one. nine never had a sonic who made him feel loved, so he stuck to the ground, because reaching for the sky is something only idiots can hope for.

until he met sonic.

and god, just watching the episodes where these two interact can make your heart feel *so* warm, because nine is finally getting the love he deserves. you watch him reach for the instinctive snark before being shocked by sonic's genuine kindness. you watch him praise sonic even if they had only just met because finally, finally someone cares about him. you watch him *fly*, in front of sonic, and only in front of sonic.

of course, good things can't last forever.

[sonic prime major spoilers territory, don't read unless you've watched all of s2]

this fox has been beaten down by the world around him, it should come as no surprise that when he found out what the full extent of what he could do with the shards is, that his first idea was to create the ideal world out of a wasteland just for him and sonic. only them. because sonic was the only one who showed him kindness. hell, he even remembered the palm trees sonic mentioned. the ideal world just for him and the hedgehog that insists that he's his friend.

and that's where their views collide.

because while nine wants what he never had, sonic wants what he lost.

and doesn't that just hurt? it's rejection. something that he's grown used to. because as much as sonic tries, he never saw nine more than just another alternate version of tails. all those words of his were for someone nine wasn't.

it's rejection, and it just confirms to nine what the world forced him to believe.

he's all on his own.

it's really no wonder he took control of the shards to create his own paradise.

(side note: i don't *fully* blame sonic for this either. while yes, it's primarily his fault, i feel like he's been dealing with the consequences plenty by now. he's just doing his best to fix things back to the way it was before. sonic may be fast, but even a few days isn't enough to process all of that for the world's fastest hedgehog.)

[sessakag]

Okay...I know your on break, and you deserve it 100%! You wrote like a million words last year, no exaggeration! but omg, when are you coming back with updates to your fics???

I swear I'm like going through withdrawals! Secrets is my worst addiction!! I never liked Sasuke but you changed my mind on that and i never thought anyone could! I realize now he really was messed up back then, and after everything he went through at that age, and with Orochimaru's curse mark adding to his darkness, of course he went off the deep end!! I'm ashamed I wasn't more compassionate towards him. He lost his whole family, at the hands of his brother, saw his parents bodies and was shown the murder over and over again by his brother, wtf would anyone expect him to do??? He was like 5 or 6 or something right?? Just a baby! He needs to atone, yes but, hating him? Can't do it anymore, makes no sense.

A Cure For Love has become an obsession!!!! I DONT LIKE M/M FANFICTION ESPECUALLY NARUSASU BUT I CANT PUT THIS STORY DOWN!!!! Omg, how the hell did you get me into this???! It should be illegal to be this creative and good at writing! Who said you could write like this???! I actually like SasuNaru now 😭 and Hinata as a badass witch! She bodied a werewolf, vampire and fury all at the same time, omfg she's so awesome!! I cannot wait for the trio between the three of them!! How will those three come together? Sasuke and Hinata are connected through Sasuke's bite now, but what about Naruto? How will he find himself wrapped up in the witch he despises! I need to know!!!! Thats another thing you got me into! Throuples!!! I can totally see NaruHinaSasu as a loving trio, and I love that you don't want make them like obsessed over Hinata only, or have one person left out of the relationship, you adore NaruHina but you also care about SasuHina and NaruSasu. The love will be spread equal and I sooooo love that! I see it already in your Sims 4 posts!! They all love each other, no one is left out, and everyone loves the children no matter who the father is!

I LOVE Butterfly like you have no idea 😭I know people are not liking Naruto's actions right now, neither do I, but i like that you've wrote him being able to do something like that to precious Hina, your not going soft route and making him too nice or too accomadating, it really feels like he doesn't know her at all, which he doesnt! it's easy to hurt and use people you don't know and he's a prime example of that. He's not out to be malicious, but he's careless with her feelings because he doesn't KNOW her at all. People seem to shy away from making a character that flawed but you lean into and I love it! Naruto is setting himselg up for a WORLD of hurt, I can see it already! Knowing you dont' do sad endings, I can safely enjoy this angst and heartache!!

Monster is my heart!!!!! The Boruto series should have gone this route because the plot for the Otsutsuki is out of this world!! It adds so much tension and suspense, and the lovey dovey moments with NaruHina are like a drug I can't stop doing! I'm scared now though! Ino got those worm root things poured into her mouth by Shino and things are getting really weird and I know you warned us that angst is coming (again I'm gonna enjoy it since you don't do sad endings) but now I'm petrified because Hinata has been acting weird all the way up to this point, and I think whatever was done to her by Toneri is about to come fruition! I'm scared for her and for Naruto! That book is an amazing balance of horror, smut, love and angst!!

I'm DYING for more Prey 😭 I love me a dark fic and Naruto is stone cold crazy af and I love ittttttt! I want to see the meeting between him and the woman he's been stalking, his future baby mama, Hinata! How will she deal with his brand of crazy??? Who is Danzo and why is Naruto working with him??? How did Naruto become a killer like that????! I mean I know he was crazy as a teen and he's killed before but now its like his job??! How, what happened?? I needs to know!! And poor Sasuke 😭😭😭😭😭Naruto is a HANDFUL for him to have to deal with all the time!!

All of this was just to say I am dying without your updates 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 take your time on your deserved break but also come back soon!!!!

My break is just about over, sorry about the long wait! My stories have been calling me, especially my throuples thanks to my Sims 4 game 🤭I'm even more convinced now that a NaruHinaSasu dynamic is a special, beautiful dynamic and I cannot wait to finish my other throuple fics as well as add more. I'm very happy you enjoy all my stories to such an extent 😭I work pretty hard on them and am glad that I can create stories that can push a person from their comfort zone and still have them content in a new, unexplored territory! A Cure For Love was my first attempt at M/M action and people seem to enjoy it, shockingly, quite a few people that don't like M/M either but love the story regardless are REALLY into this story😵‍💫 and that still blows my mind! It's nice to see more people coming on board the MMF ship! 🤭It's really diverse in here. There's SasuNaru fans willing to give those two with Hinata a try, there's SasuHina fans willing to make room for Naruto, there's NaruHina fans willing to open their hearts to Sasuke, I love the vibe of that story so much. The community is so nice and amazing!

I'm glad I could change your perspective on Sasuke, he really gets way too much hate and not enough understanding/compassion in my opinion. I've gone through deaths of loved ones before, and that shit eats you up inside, it's like a lifetime disease that chips away at you non-stop, I could not imagine going through it to his extent, I'd lose my damn mind too. Idc what no one says, I love Sasuke and my heart goes out to him 100% and I don't say that lightly. I adore Naruto, and Sasuke shouldn't have put him through what he did, but I also am of the mind of Naruto. Sasuke needed help. He was self destructive and losing himself, and I'm glad Naruto could see that and help him. I wish I had a Naruto, I swear.

I love flawed characters like Naruto in Butterfly. You're right that there's gonna be some heavy angst, but as I said, I don't do sad ends, but I do want to hurt your heart 😇enjoy the pain, you've got three books of it coming up.

Don't even get me started on everything wrong with Boruto 🤦🏾‍♀️such lazy writing imo. It's like they skimmed through Naruto and Shippuden rather than watched it fully. That series is not canon to me, never will be. Monster is my horror baby, and you're right, it's about to get wayyyyy worse. Prepare yourself is all i can say.

Crazy ass Naruto shall be back soon, lol, and all your questions shall be answered over time!

I'll be adding my Enemies to Lovers fic and a chapter of Monster upon my return as those are the two that won the poll, after that, the rest will be updated, judging from what I've written in terms of next chapter for each, I think it'll be A Cure For Love, Secrets, Prey then Butterfly. Don't quote me on that though! I follow the path and dictates of inspiration!

Thank so much for reading! I hope you continue to enjoy everything. Thanks for waiting!

[insanityconflict]

.....then... I want thy lore dump *grabby hands*

EHEHEHE [rubs my evil rat hands together] this may be VERY long so i'll just hide it under a cut for anyone who doesnt wanna read and/or see it all MNSMNGasADGA

The AAHW and the Nexus Core team up sometimes when it comes to big scientific projects. A prime example of that would be the MAG Agent program, but that's a discussion for another time. While that's still an ongoing thing, there are quite a few things that either didn't work or just wasn't what they were looking for. A more recent collaborative project was the Pyrokinetics Experiment, which the Agency lead with Nexus keeping a close eye on them.

The project consisted of a total of twenty clones, each genetically engineered to be able to summon fire at will and use it as a weapon. It was supposed to anyway, before things went horribly wrong. The first ten failed completely, becoming charred and shriveled messes before any growth was made. The second was more fortunate, though they all still met terrible fates. Through either spontaneous combustion or just not being able to withstand the heat of their own flames, every clone met a very unpleasant demise; All but one actually survived, and even then that survivor was weak, considered a runt among other clones.

The Agency gave up, not wanting to put effort into a defect that probably wouldn't make it to the end of the week. That's when Nexus stepped in, taking the clone for themselves to milk every opportunity they had to take what was right and make it better for a future attempt. What wasn't expected was Phobos deciding that he would watch over the clone. Some may argue that it was because he wanted it protected from unpleasant employees who got a kick out of beating up weaker individuals, others would say that it was because Phobos planned on using it as his own weapon rather than an actual living being.

The clone did survive to the end of the week. With proper care - like they were a real person - they became stronger and more active, going from a pathetic whelp to an outgoing, and somewhat annoying, individual. Phobos liked this outcome for both a scientific and personal standpoint. As much as he'd deny it, he started to grow close to the clone as if they were brothers. Eventually Phobos gave it a name rather than a worthless string of letters and numbers. Besides, Deimos had a pretty nice ring to it.

As great as things were, Nexus was still a horrible place to be raised under. For three years Deimos had witnessed more death and famine than anyone ever should, and he still received plenty of negative attention from others when Phobos wasn't around to protect him. It only got worse when Phobos started going mad, becoming more and more restless and less patient when things didn't go his way. This resulted in plenty of undesirable arguments between him and Deimos, and what used to be a very strong brotherly relationship turned into a complete mess of anger and hatred for the other.

Deimos had never considered dissenting, at least until Phobos finally snapped threatened his life. That's when he started getting ideas, wondering if life outside the city was better than whatever hell was going on inside. Life was becoming unbearable, and he needed to do something now or things wouldn't be looking very great for him later on. He got the perfect chance when he was given his first actual mission that would send him beyond Nexus City and into the unknown. He had a very distressing dilemma, because if he did leave he'd never be able to come back. He was going to throw his entire life away, and for what? Just to die within his first few hours of fresh air? It wasn't an easy thing to comprehend.

The Agency had requested help from Nexus for assassinating a certain individual. When they caught wind of the fact that Nexus still had that one runt they'd surrendered years ago, they were dead set on sending him to do the job rather than anyone else because apparently he had the best "survival chance". Whether that meant in self-defense or what, that wasn't disclosed. Phobos didn't care, so he agreed and let the Agency do what they liked with Deimos.

The mission was supposed to be simple. It's just one guy that they needed dead, so how hard could that be? Very. Very hard. When Deimos found out who exactly he was being sent to kill, it was already too late to back out and say no. I mean, throwing hands with Hank? The Hank? What was he, a miracle worker? Not knowing what else to do, he finally agreed and went on his way.

His plan was to pose as a rogue that wanted to join the fighting cause, get close to Hank, then finish the job. And it all worked well and fine until he met the man himself. Fortunately, the guy he was partnered with worked great as a distraction. Besides, what'd he have to lose? It didn't hurt to have at least a little bit of fun while he was here, right?

He fell. He fell hard. See, Sanford was everything Deimos had been missing out on. A best friend, someone he could have fun with and talk to without having a gun pointed to his head when he stepped out of line. Plus he was hot. Like, really hot. When he realized he was crushing on the guy was when he knew he was in too deep. There was no way he was going back to Nexus after all of this. Abandoning all of this would be the last straw for him - this was the best fucking time he'd ever had in his life! There's no way he was just gonna leave it all behind and forget about it! It didn't take long for Deimos to put his foot down and say he's never going back. Phobos could shove it for all he cared.

It was the best decision in his entire life.

[goldenfoxthe1st]

dreams character on the smp is a combination of all the 7 deadly sins. why? lemme explain:

1: lust

-strong passion or longing, especially for sexual desires

now, clearly the sexual desires part doesnt apply to this. but the strong passion or longing? absolutely. we're not too sure what his goal is, but what we do know is that he has an odd attachment to tommys discs. hes passionate about keeping them away from him, hes passionate about destroying l'manberg. longing? from my analysis, i would say hes longing for the smp to go back to how it was. he never wanted l'manberg to be made, he just wanted everyone to be equal. he longs for the peace that the beginning provided. the calm, the fun, not the fighting and betrayal.

2: gluttony

-excessive and ongoing eating of food or drink

this... probably doesnt make much sense if you take a glance at it. but looking more into it, you can see how much it makes sense. there are two explanations i have for this one, and feel free to choose whichever one you want

from my theory, its not actually dream, its the dreamon from before controlling him. dreamons feed off of negative emotions, and in this case, it would be considered food. the dreamon "eats" the negative emotions to gain stronger and withold his control over dreams body

he always has golden apples and steak on him. why? because he's always on alert. he doesnt know when someone will attack him, so he eats everytime his hunger bar is even the slightest bit lower than it should be. after all, he needs to keep his saturation up if someone does decide to attack him

3: greed

-excessive pursuit of material goods

i feel like this one doesnt need much explaining. tommys discs? a prime example of this. tommys things when he was in exile? another example. i could go more into this, but i still have 4 left to go

4: sloth

-excessive laziness or the failure to act and utilitize one's talents

this one makes no sense. or does it? because i really looked into this one, i mean i cant claim he represents all the 7 deadly sins if i cant actually explain why. now, the laziness part seems to make no sense at first, but if you really look at it, you'll see it. dream himself doesnt cause the rifts between people, he merely creates a well thought out plan to give them a little push. he comes online occasionally, causes a bit of mental chaos, and then logs off. onto the failure to act and utilitize one's talents, this actually makes more sense. while it may seem like his fighting skills are his talents, that would be considered a skill. he trained to get to where he is now, he wasnt born with it. what would be considered one of his talents? the ability to make everyone around him happy. that sounds really cheesy, but its true. he has this natural positive energy that people feed off of, but unfortunately he chose the wrong path. instead of utilizing his talent to do the right thing, he chose to utilize his skills instead.

5: wrath

-a strong anger and hate towards another person

im not quite sure dream hates anyone, but in some moments he gets really angry. when tommy and ranboo burnt down georges mushroom cottage? not sure if he was actually angry or pretending at that, but we can count it. his "i dont give a fuck about spirit" speech? anger. strong anger.

6: envy

-intense desire to have an item that someone else possesses

this could easily be another "tommys discs" case, and it is, but there's more to it. you see, another word for envy is jealousy. before the dreamon took over dream (see my theory for more details) he was engaged to fundy. right before he said yes, he mentioned how sapnap and george are getting married. he said yes because he was jealous that they were finding love and he wasnt. so i guess in this situation, the item he desired was a wedding ring, a symbol of love

7: pride

-excessive view of one's self without regard for others

this one doesn't need much of an explanation, i mean dream is a very prideful person. he wants to be on the top, and clearly hes been stepping on quite a few people to keep his number one spot. i wouldnt necessarily say he has no regard for others, i mean george? hello? but sometimes he does hurt peoples feelings without even knowing it. an example would be his "i don't give a fuck about spirit" speech where he says that he doesnt care about anything other than the discs. in saying that, he hurt sapnap and george. whether or not he meant it in the way that they (possibly just sapnap, george is forever a mystery) took it, we'll probably never know. but, feelings were still hurt in an attempt to keep his pride when fundy, tommy, and quackity were all making fun of him as he started to tear down the obsidian walls surrounding l'manberg

feel free to add on or change anything

[ryeguns]

hey! so ive been missing streams 😭 and i was wondering wtf has been happening in the dream smp since the election results were revealed? i'm so lost and i really dont wanna watch all the streams 😔😔😔

oh god a loooot has happened; i personally recommend watching wilburs edited vids on his channel if u rlly want to understand everything but ill give a basic summary!! 

major MAJOR spoilers for the dream smp (obviously) so if u don't want to hear about it then don't continue on (also its kinda long bcause all i think about is the dream smp-)

SO schlatt and quackity won the election, schlatt banished wilbur & tommy from l’manberg & renamed l’manberg to manberg. wilbur and tommy created a new place called pogtopia which is a bit away from the manberg / main area. quackity is schlatts vice president, tubbo is secretary of state (i believe?)

 tubbo is a spy and is secretly working for pogtopia. technoblade joins the server and joins pogtopia to help take down schlatt. all he did for the most part was farm potatoes...and breed horses....

dream reveals he doesnt support schlatt out of fear that schlatt will begin to take over the entierty of the dream smp, but he cant show his support of pogtopia publicly. niki doesnt like schlatt, schlatt taxes her, they just hate each other in general. fundy is also secretly a spy, but hes not directly giving info to anyone, he just keeps a journal about what he has learned. fundy begins to question what side he supports, and begins to lean more in favor of schlatt because schlatt has been cleaning up the area and basically has been making everything look nice. 

tommy and tubbo make a giant tunnel under manberg that leads to pogtopia (which is also connect to the prime path for, well, obvious reasons). technoblade has mostly just been trying to get the best gear for himself & has been trying to breed the best horse (he gets a trident at one point). 

wilbur goes insane and believes he and tommy are on the bad side of history, that they’re the villians. wilbur gives up on getting l’manberg back and has settled on just blowing it all to shit so no one can have it. dream backs wilburs plan and supplies him with TNT and wilbur rigs the entire underground of manberg with TNT (much like dream did in l’manberg during the dream smp war) tommy doesnt support wilburs decision to blow everything up. 

(this isnt exactly really story-related but sapnap killed tommys cow, henry, and dream, techno, and tommy teamed up to fight sapnap and a few others. idk it isnt rlly important to the plot but i enjoyed it so :D)

schlatt announces there will be a manberg festival, in celebration of democracy and everything. wilbur decides thats the day hes going to blow everything up. tommy still doesnt support wilburs plan. tubbo and fundy (and i think quackity?? idk) set up for the festival. tubbo has a speech written for the festival and one of the lines is the cue for wilbur to press the button to blow everything up.

the day of the festival comes along, schlatt gives a few speeches, wilbur and tommy watch from the top of one of the buildings. everyone is invited (even technoblade) to the festival, except wilbur and tommy. technoblade brings and OP rocket launcher crossbow and tries to get info on manberg. they play games and stuff.

 wilbur starts to question if he really wants to go through with blowing everything up (because he will be blowing up all his friends in the process) and tommy continues to try to talk him down. wilbur ends up asking tubbo what he should do, and tubbo doesnt know. wilbur tells tubbo that if he says the cue in the speech, he’ll do it, and if he doesn’t, he wont. tubbos speech comes along eventually, and at the end he hesitates saying the cue, and schlatt begins to ask if he had anything more to say. tubbo eventually does say the cue, and wilbur goes and runs off to find the button to blow everything up. 

schlatt starts encasing tubbo in a box and wilbur gets distracted and goes back to see what is going on. schlatt announces infront of everyone that tubbo is a traitor. schlatt calls technoblade up to the stage and tells technoblade to “take him out”. technoblade tries to stall, wilbur and tommy assure tubbo that techno is on their side and wont hurt him. techno gives in to peer pressure and kills tubbo with the rocket launcher crossbow, killing schlatt and quackity in the process (because they were on stage as well and just vacinity stuff yknow).

tommy and wilbur panic. wilbur goes and rushes to find the button, but cant find it. tommy reveals his position and goes in to kill techno, claiming techno has betrayed them. techno just starts shooting his rocket launcher into the crowd, killing basically everyone. tommy and tubbo meet up in the manberg-pogtopia tunnel. wilbur, tommy, tubbo, and techno all go back to pogtopia. wilbur and tommy are the most mad at techno, but wilbur forgives him. tommy doesnt and still believes hes a traitor. wilbur manipulates tommy and tells him to use that anger and to kill techno, so they fight in a pit that wilbur made. tommy dies, and everything is basically settled (though tommy is still mad at techno). niki also joins pogtopia. niki, tubbo, and tommy meet up just outside pogtopia and discuss whats going on. they all agree that wilbur has lost his mind and that they can only trust each other, and they begin to discuss plans of building up pogtopia so they can fight back to reclaim l’manberg. sentimental bit of them three looking off into the sunset as tommy plays the original blocks disc. 

schlatt doesnt really care what happened, him, quackity, fundy, and a few others continue to play games after the whole techno thing. (i believe something with antfrost, bbh, and awesamdude happened? i dont quite know because i havent watched their pov yet but i believe they formed some kind of alliance to fight against schlatt? correct me if im wrong-) schlatt starts talking about his plans for manberg. he plans to replace the hto dog van with an apartment complex. fundy, quackity, bbh, antfrost, and awesamdude try to talk him down from it. they eventually come to an agreement that the appartment building will be built around it, so you cant see it. schlatt kills a few cats for no real reason. schlatt talks about how he wants to remove the white house (the one quackity built with wilbur and such), quackity gets defensive and tells him not to destroy it as it is a symbol of peace and he worked hard on it. schlatt still wants it to be removed but they plan to discuss it at a later time. fundy is left alone, he questions which side he supports. he is now more in favor of wilburs side because of the public execution of tubbo and the fact he killed cats. 

day after the festival quackity and schlatt are on, tommy eventually joins as well. tommy plans to JFK schlatt and goes over to manberg to do so. he watches quackity and schlatt from a far, who are both at the white house. theyre both arguing over whether the white house should stay or go. schlatt wants it gone, quackity doesnt. tommy doesnt make a move and continues to watch. schlatt begins to insult the white house and starts to take it down. quackity gets pissed and kills schlatt and claims that he is no longer a part of manberg and proceeds to run off into the forest. schlatt then continues to demolish the rest of the white house. 

tommy goes after quackity; quackity joins pogtopia and they head off to pogtopia. wilbur gets on and claims he has found where the button is and that he doesnt care if no one else is on, all he wants to do is kill schlatt and blow everything up. tommy tells wilbur quackity has now joined them. quackity and tommy then proceed to build a giant dick infront of the manberg flag.

 wilbur then goes and shows quackity and tommy the button, quackity finds out about wilburs plan as a result. wilbur tries to push the button multiple times and quackity and tommy try to talk him down from pressing it. quackity says the only reason he ran against wilbur was to prevent dictatorship. they continue to attempt to stop wilbur from pressing the button. tommy at one point stands infront of the button and wilbur tells him to move to the side if he trusts him. tommy hesitates, but then moved. wilbur then destroys the button. wilbur says that now tommy will be leading them and making the next move. before returning to pogtopia to discuss the new plan, wilbur asks for quackity and tommy to wait outside. theres a sad moment and wilbur sings the l’manberg anthem and places the button back and says its just incase, as a backup, just so he knows that if something goes wrong, he can always rely on the button.

the three head back to pogtopia and discuss a plan. im going to be honest i was v lost on what they were saying when discussing the plans because they were all talking at once basically but the first plan, named plan a, is to use quackity to get to schlatt (its named plan a because ass...), then the second plan, plan 1, is yet to be determined, and the last plan, if those two fail, is plan b, which is to go with wilburs original plan of blowing everything to shit (b because bomb haha) 

YEA thats the basic summary i think? theres a lot of other details like the fact that fundy, tubbo, and sapnap are now dreamon hunters but !! yea. sorry for this being so long aaaaaaa

[adventuresloane]

"i know it hurts, i'm sorry" or "look at me- you're safe." with taako and lup??? theyre v e r y good siblings and thats a relationship that doesnt get explored as often in fandom as it should

((F*ck it I know it's late but I wanna post this now.))

"I know it hurts," Lup says almost at the same moment he lets out another pained hiss. "I'm sorry." Both of his cheeks are scraped, and the disinfectant turns the constant dull burn into a sharper sting. This wouldn't be the first time his face has gotten scraped up like this. It isn't even the first time he's gotten his face scraped up after being dragged around by the hair by someone who'd caught him red-handed in a con. He knows it's got to feel worse before it feels better. That doesn't stop the tears from rolling down his face, mixing with the gritty dirt and the blood and the stinging stuff.

She's saying something else now. "Sorry," she whispers with every other dab of the cloth. "Sorry."

"I know you're hungry," Taako murmurs as she feels the familiar scrape inside her belly. The hurt is low and deep, like shame. Lately, she's been turning tail on more fights than she would have liked--or, rather, Taako's been dragging her out of every potential scrap, even when she's primed to charge in screaming. It's terrible. It's humiliating, to receive parting blows to her back as they run away, and she sulks at Taako for it every time. But she knows he's right even in those moments. She couldn't very well fight when sometimes just standing up made her vision go dark.

He's sitting with his back to the fire, hunched over and turned away from her. She knows what he's doing, though, because it's the same thing he's been trying to work on for weeks. It makes her feel useless just lying there, but all the same, each one of her exhausted limbs anchors her to the ground. He's brandishing a scavenged wand that he threw together from a broken yew branch and a tiger's-eye bead that had "fallen" (been knocked) from a jeweler's stand. If he can just get the gesture right, the precise flick of his fingers, he could use transmutation magic to turn the bark in front of him to a meal for them both. She knew he could do it. She hoped.

In the past, he's succeeded some. The food he crafts from magic fills her. That's all it has to do at this point. But that doesn't stop him from doing what he can to make it taste less like cotton in her mouth. Wild onions and berries that they'd found in sparse patches, not nearly enough to make a meal but suitable for flavoring. Grasses and herbs from the roadside. A single acorn. He tries it all. They both do whenever they're able, stirring ingredients in shoulder-to-shoulder. They dip small fingers into pots together, making faces at each other in unison when the experiment ends up tasting like shit, relishing quietly when it doesn't.

"I know when you're cold, Taako," she says with not a little exasperation. For probably the eighteenth time that night, she's just asked him whether he needs to share the blanket with her, and he's promptly denied it.

"What part of 'Taako's good out here' didn't you get?" he grumbles. She doesn't have to be so insistent. He hasn't even been shivering--he learned long ago how to stop himself from doing it. It pisses him off, sometimes, how she just assumes shit about how he's feeling all the time. It pisses him off more that she's usually right.

"Yeah, sure." She pulls the thin wool blanket over to where he lies on the floor of the abandoned house that they've found for the night. Then she lies down and pulls it over the both of them before wrapping her arms around his waist and pressing up against him. The wool cloth is barely enough to fully wrap around one of them. The cold starts to lose its teeth, though, pulling away from his chilled skin.

Only the warmth isn't coming from the blanket. It's too immediate. It soaks into him and settles somewhere deep inside, like it's making a home, like it's always belonged there. It's centered on his belly, where her hands rest. He looks under the blanket, and it's only because of the darkness underneath that he can see her fingers, just faintly, glowing. "Lup?"

"Something new I'm working on," she says quietly against his back, and even turned away from her, he can hear the smile in her voice.

"Dope," he whispers back. On the other hand, it isn't always bad, her assumptions.

"Okay, I know you're tired, but listen, I finally figured it out." The slap of books on the table echoes through the floor of the library, earning him several shushes that he ignores.

"You'd better have," she groans, forehead still pressed to wood grain. "If I spend another hour staring at this equation, I'm going to meld with this chair." It feels ungrateful even saying that. The IPRE Academy's dorm is both the most permanent and the most comfortable of homes they've had in years, and even if they've taken to doctoring up the bland cafeteria food with magic, they wouldn't trade their meal plan. The least she can do is put more effort into keeping the scholarship they've earned.

"Don't worry, I'll walk you through it, since as we're all aware by now I'm a goddamn genius. Hey, by the way, you look like death."

"Thanks for that," she mutters.

"You should skip class tomorrow. I'll tell the professor you were puking or something."

She sighs and finally lifts her head. "No, I should go, I'll just..." She trails off when she sees the cardboard Fantasy Starbucks cup that had been silently placed beside her. It smells of caramel and just the right amount of whip. She doesn't have to take the lid off to know that he got her order right.

"Koko...thanks."

"What?" he says, though she knows he heard her. "Here, let me show you how to solve this."

I know you want it, is what Lup says with the look she gives him. Her brows are arched and there's a smirk on her face and that's all the prompting he needs. He pulls the furry, five-colored, gloriously hideous jacket off the store rack and adds it to the heap he carries in both his arms. It's not like they'll have much time to shop for the two months that they'll be in space. Might as well get it in now.

Their coworkers at the IPRE will poke fun at both of them later for blowing their money on ugly crap. Let them. The only thing that matters is that the pair of them get it. Lup never asks why he needs a third pair of holographic pants. The whole point is that he doesn't need them at all, the same way she doesn't need a sequin dress she'll likely never wear--it's novelty, still, buying what they don't absolutely need. They'll surround themselves with absolute unnecessaries, to assure themselves that they're really and truly here, that they've made it to this place.

Lup also doesn't ask why he mends the same holes in shirts four times in a row, when he has so many others and it would be far less of an effort to just throw the old ones out. She doesn't ask why he saves everything, just like he doesn't have to ask why she dives for change she sees on the sidewalk. Nothing needs to be said.

I know you're out there, he thinks as he and Barry search yet another dripping cave. She's not here. He knows that they have to check anyway, leave no stone unturned and all that, but his gut tells him that it's yet another waste of time, that they'll hit the stone wall before long and find nothing. He would know if she were near, the same way he knows that she's not gone forever, yet. He thinks he would know right away if she were. He would cease to exist in his current form as soon as she left this world.

I know you're out there, she does not so much think as feel, because complete and coherent thought has not yet returned to her in this black place. She's a planet at the time of its birth, still formless and shifting unshaped in a lightless and soundless void. She doesn't know much yet--so little she knows, so little has come back to her--but she knows that she isn't who she was. She can't be, out of context. She can't be who she's supposed to be when she's not part of a system, when she's alone. The rest of her is somewhere among the stars that she can no longer see.

These people just don't get him. This old dwarf and beefy human he's traveling with, they ask him why he's so hellbent on stealing and raiding all the corpses for goods, why he needs to sleep near the fireplace even though the Bureau's rooms are well heated. He doesn't like questions, especially when they're about himself. He can't answer them. Why should he have to answer them? He doesn't have to explain himself. He's Taako, From TV. He's got needs.

He shouldn't get mad at them. It's not like he knows them either, or cares to. It's wrong, maybe, to expect that they should anticipate his needs, or that anyone should. But he feels like someone should. Just once, he thinks, he shouldn't have to ask before someone knows what he needs.

I know you, comes a voice from some dark place. Taako, I know who you are.

Kwami Buster and Loveater

Spoiler alert!!!!!!

So I watched both Kwami Buster and Loveater and I'm just screaming inside. So much awesomeness

So first Kwami Buster

I wanna say I love Ms Mendeleiev's determination and devotion to Science. I also think her Kwami Buster outfit was sick! I thought it was very innocent when she said really in response to Hawk Moth.

Multimouse! Oh my god! That is amazing! I love it so much!! Marinette you amazing superpower cutie!!! Her plan was awesome and her mentality and strength is displayed so well in this episode.

Adrien... look I love Adrien... I do but my god he is such an idiot at times. Right I get it. He thinks the girl he loves may be Marinette but dude there is a time and a place and when you know that there is a super villain who is literally about to throw someone off a skyscraper, you transform and go save them then worry about who ladybug may or may not be..... but this explains his reaction in Startrain, which kind of makes me be salty. Like is he actually showing Marinette love because shes amazing and awesome or is it because he thinks she's ladybug?

That illusion. Just wow. That's all I'm saying.

Master Fuu is impressed!

Now on to Loveater!

LUKANETTE!!! AAAHHHHHHH!!!!

Ok, ok. I'm calm. I'm good

As you all know, I'm a huge Lukanette shipper and this episode.... It had me screaming and fangirling. I think I died tbh. It all but confirmed my theory that silencer is set after Desperda! Why? Look at how Marinette and Luka interact with each other. Silencer has to be set after Desperada but before this.

And I hate to break it to all you lovely Adrienette shippers (myself included) but I think this ship is sinking 😭 til endgame (maybe) but we got some serious Adrigami moments including a kiss!! I also love that Kagami doesn't want to hurt Marinette but loves Adrien. Also the whole ladybug asking about cat not calling her my lady... I don't actually think she got jealous. I think she was surprised. He literally calls her it all the time and then suddenly isn't. Also his flirting with Rykuo is bad timing. Big creepy head thing to fight after all, which is something I see in my nightmares for the record. Anyway, it's not jealousy, its mild annoyance and surprise because fighting an akuma.

Back to Luka though....

Firstly, I love that he is a delivery boy! Thet moment when he was like "got it". Bet that person was like what the hell!

He's trying to find her melody! And that he promises he'll work it out and get it perfect! And lukanette cheek kiss!!!

But that ending! My god, he is such a sweetheart! That bike drop was significant as it had his guitar on it (headcanon: Marinette designed the design on it) to comfort her but more importantly, what he said to her and I quote:

"It's alright, Marinette. You can tell me everything or nothing if you prefer. You can be yourself with me you know. Just yourself,"

This! This! Like if you have a huge responsibility or a burden that you have to keep whatever it is, you need an outlet and that is what he is offering her. It doesn't have to be romantic or anything and hell, shes doesnt have to tell him what it is. That's what is so great about these words. There's no catch. No needing to be strong or heroic. No need to lie or to tell the truth. She can just be herself in that moment. He doesn't care about Ladybug or saving Paris right now. He cares about Marinette and it shows. He gives her the choice to tell him what's on her mind but is totally ok if she doesn't tell him. He respects her and clearly loves her!! Which brings me to a theory!

So it's all but confirmed that Dragonbug is gonna happen but what about Snake Noir? So Sass was taken by Hawkmoth along with the others and Chloe is going to corrupt them with her powers right?

But what if it doesn't work on Luka? What if she gives a corrupted Sass to force Luka on her side but it doesn't work? I'd even go as to far to say that he frees Sass from her control! How? Well there is one thing we know about Luka Couffaine. He is literally the most selfless person in the whole show (examples include desperda, captain Hardrock, frozer.. all of the episodes he has appeared in basically. Prime example been Party Crasher, where he literally sacrificed himself for Carapace, who he literally didn't know) and he is the complete opposite to Chloe in every sense. She's a lone child, he has a sibling. She's rich, he isnt (lives on a boat and has a job as a delivery boy. Obviously, he's supporting his family. Also anyone could totally like on a boat but look at the size and think off the bills. It would be cheaper then a house or a flat and also he shares his room with Juleka. If they had money, would they be sharing a room? Probably not) He's kind where she's cruel. He is free spirited and she's a control freak. He treats everyone with respect and as his equal. She sees everyone as peasants and below her. He is modest, she is arrogant but most importantly, he is selfless and she is selfish. Even Marinette is more selfish then he is. She has done some stupid things because she acted selfishly. (You all know what I mean) Sure, she's not mean spirited like Chloe but she can be selfish. A fine example is choosing Kagami in Loveater but so can Adrien (remember the Bubbler? Should have become Cat Noir straight away but didn't. Other examples include Frozer and Desperda as well as others) but like Marinette, he isn't mean spirited. In fact, all the characters can be... expect Luka. Even the reason for him been akumatized was selfless. Sure, you could argue Marinette's was too but was it? She got akamtized briefly because Lila framed her but that's exactly it. Sure, Lila was awful and it was a terrible thing to happen but she didn't get akumatized because it happened to someone else who she loved. She got akamtized because it was an injustice that happened to her. The same as everyone else really (apart from Tom in weredad maybe but I think that was more about him then his daughter) but that's where Luka is different. His Akumtize form was because he wanted to protect Marinette from Bob Roth and to prove her stuff got stolen. I don't even think he was 100% upset that his music had been stolen. Sure, annoyed but not enough to be akamtized. It was only when Bob threated Marinette that he got so angry that he got akamtized. Also Hawkmoth described him as a "pure soul". Since when did Hawkmoth describe anyone as that huh? Also I'm not saying that been a pure soul is important but literally in every fairytale or magic related stuff, been a pure soul is important. You know most baddies need a pure soul for a wicked ritual. Snow white and Cinderella had pure souls which is why they found the strength to forgive their stepmoms or at least in the Disney versions they did. Anyway you get the ideas and nothing in this show is pointless. They even pointed out that to use the snake miraculous, you have to be selfless due to timey stuff. So this brings me to my theory. Luka is so selfless that somehow he is able to break free from Chloe's hold or somehow free Sass but instead of becoming Viperion, he literally does the most selfless thing and gives up his miraculous to Cat Noir so Cat can become Snake Noir! Then Dragonbug and Snakenoir kick Chloe and Hawkmoth's asses!

mafia!Seungcheol “S.COUPS” #17

↻ masterlist — s.coups￤yoon￤hong￤wen￤hoshi￤jeon￤woozi￤dk￤kim￤xu￤boo￤chwe￤lee

boss/leader

leader of Homicidia/Homicidium Unit

the only member of seventeen that has actual mafia connections since birth with his family’s business

had it tough as a kid, but was heavily protected by family

not for seungcheol’s safety, but for the business’ safety

the business ran in a way that the youngest son of the family would lead their mafia once their father chose to pass down their legacy under a new name

unfortunately, seungcheol was the second child to the family, and the next boss

his parents always argued on how to raise him — his mother wanted him to be a normal boy, his father wanted him to be the next heir of his long line of underground work

seungcheol was a weak child in all honesty, so his mother protected and looked after him most of the time, not wanting a single maid to take care of him

he had enough of their arguing one day and chose to take lead of the new group right there and now, causing his mother to be distressed and begging him to take back what he said

on the other hand his father applauded him, which was the most affection he got from the old man after years

but seungcheol wanted things done under one condition: he does things the way he wants to

no assistance, no men working for him, no money, nothing — he was going to work for this if he was going to do it right

his father, not looking too impressed, thought about the offer and gladly accepted it

he told his family not to worry about him even though it would just be his mother who would and god knows if his older brother cared about him too and instructed them to move somewhere safe and far far away from seungcheol

to begin a new, quiet life, mainly for his mother to get the rest she deserves, and he made it clear that they shouldn’t try to contact with seungcheol anymore

instead, he reassured that he will meet with them one day, no matter how long it’ll take him

it broke his heart seeing his home empty the next day

but no one needs to know that

his grandfather was fifteenth in line to owning quindecim, named quattuordecim prior

his father was sixteenth in line to quindecim, now-called sedecim

and seungcheol, son to the ex-boss of sedecim and is now the leader of septendecim

but this was seungcheol’s group, and he changed septendecim to seventeen as it had a better ring to it

now here he is, an unexperienced seventeen year-old, with no guidance on what to do or where to start

the pressure was all on him

goes m.i.a for two years or so, learning all he can about his family’s connections with other families

luckily, seungcheol was never mentioned as a child which was the only thing he could partially give credit to his father for, so the families had no idea about all of the... home situations going on

in that time he had also tried to find every way to smuggle himself to japan to take notes on gang life as he joined from gang to gang in that time

despite culture difference, seungcheol picked up a lot of things from there

even became a top gang leader at some point before escaping to get back to korea, a little more confident than he was

the first thing he does when he gets back is climbing up a tall-ass building in public during the middle of the night to secretly recruit his best friend, jeonghan

but that’s a story for next time

and after, he then relied on jeonghan to choose the next member, then for that new member to choose the next recruit, and so on

seventeen was coming along its was very nicely

in a little over a year, seventeen had finally formed with its thirteen members

some which he still has yet to know how the hell they were recruited, but wouldn’t trade them for anyone else

he went m.i.a for another two months only to come back from japan with thirteen thick rings in his hands, each with their member’s name and a carat shining when put in sunlight

the members have been dying to know that story but he still hasn’t told them anything

at the beginning of seventeen, seungcheol had a lot of problems communicating when trying to get his group’s attention, let alone getting to know them

his youngest member was sixteen-turning-seventeen for god’s sake

everyone was really intimidated by him truthfully, so everyone went to jeonghan or joshua

however those two knew it was keeping the boss up late at night and decided to tell the member’s problems to seungcheol

so that was the moment he had to grow a pair and be the leader seventeen needs

meaning, drinks

but since half of them weren’t of a legal age yet, seungcheol was the only one that got drunk and ended up emotionally sobbing that ‘he’s their leader and should go to him because it makes him feel hurt if it doesn’t’

ended up saying a lot of more embarrassing things, but let’s just say he poured his heart out to them before passing out

the next day, the members quickly warmed up and assisted to help with the man’s hangover

often insecure as a leader

did i mention he has a big fear of failure

mainly due to the expectation and pressure he had gained ever since a kid

even wanted to change his position as leader because of that one time when they had a hacking situation and jihoon saved all of their asses last minute

and to seungcheol, jihoon looked so collected and organised

something that seungcheol thought he was lacking

but when confronting him to be boss, jihoon shrugged and replied

‘hacking is only my strong point. if we were physically fighting, it wouldn’t mean shit’

everyone was so speechless hearing jihoon say that

and clowned him for the whole month after that

but that’s when seungcheol initiated the ‘switch leader’ formation during missions, so it lets his members take spotlight and work on their skills as well as his

with soonyoung’s help, he was able to sort the group out into what we know are the units

and with jihoon’s aid, found a way to hide their identities by letting him appoint prime numbers to them as seungcheol’s last name idea was a bit risky but jihoon said it can be used just for seventeen secertly

and that’s how seungcheol became to also be addressed as #17

other than that, there are a few points that should be addressed

knows his places around very well and is trying to remember much about korea’s roads as possible

can map out half of korea so far and can find the best routes to get to places

he’s very popular in local areas

its both a sin and bliss, as he has people’s trust but he’s afraid all of the honour will be lost when he’s caught out one day

chooses to go by choi to the locals to lessen their risk of danger

loves his motorcycle a lot

shes called phenomenon

kids usually run up to him when they see him come in with his motorcycle and try to copy him when he's riding

it seriously messes up seungcheol’s image

usually is on his own when he uses his motorcycle, exploring the area for any activity going on, but has jihoon on a receiver to direct where to go or to talk to when seungcheol needs company

soonyoung joins too but its every other time since he lets him do his own thing at this point

seungcheol really cannot tell if soonyoung is being serious or not half of the time

he has this image to look very cool in front of his members and everyone

but he also has another fear of loud noises

so explosions and grenades sometimes guns aren’t his forte

the fear all goes away the moment he’s with his members, and cue the animalistic nature he has around him

this is the job he truly wanted out of this — if his father wanted a monster as a leader than a ‘weak, pathetic child’, he’ll give him a monster

aim gets x100 better when he’s in the zone and doesnt hesitate to shoot

has a natural instinct to protect all his members at all costs even when they know they’re capable and skilled in their areas

again, he’s scared for letting them down — he has a responsibility and role to follow religiously

if someone hurts his members, he’ll go out of his own way to treat them the same way

strongest in the group quite naturally

because of his weak state as a child, his father made him train mixed martial arts for most of his life

and it was the only thing seungcheol liked out of all the forced things he was made to do by his father

very old school for that reason, loves fist fighting and the raw feeling of doing things unarmed one on one

no one knows how his strategies are thought, and the members respect that even though they have no idea what goes through his head

he knows seventeen has his back; all seungcheol has to do is to do the same

seungcheol would risk his life for seventeen, despite having so much to lose

“I was afraid and anxious since I was all alone.”

MoA - Netanyahoo To Again Cry Wolf

April 30, 2018

Netanyahoo To Again Cry Wolf – But Something Bigger Is Up (Updated)

Updated below —

U.S. President Trump wants to end the nuclear agreement (pdf) with Iran and wants to eliminated Iranian forces in Syria which support the Syrian government. Something is being prepared to make that happen.

Last week General Joseph Votel, commander of CENTCOM – the U.S. military command for the Middle East, was in Israel. It was the first ever visit of a CENTCOM commander to Israel which usually works with the European command EUCOM.

Yesterday former CIA director and now Secretary of State Pompeo visited Israel. A few hours later Israel bombed two ammunition depots in Syria which are supposedly related to Iran. This was a clear attempt to provoke Iran into some reaction.

The Israeli defense minister Lieberman just visited Washington DC and only today came back to Israel.

Now the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahoo loudly announced that he will hold a press conference to present a „huge amount of new and dramatic information on the Iranian nuclear program“. He will allege that Iran cheats on the nuclear agreement (JCPOA).

Netanyahoo is a notorious liar and warmonger. In September 2002 he lied (vid) to the U.S. congress:

There is no question whatsoever that Saddam is seeking and is working and is advancing towards the development of nuclear weapons – no question whatsoever”

Only yesterday he promoted a false story that claimed Arabs in Israel had disrupted a minuted of silence for some people killed in a flash flood.

The IAEA says that Iran is in full compliance with the JCPOA. If there were any serious intelligence about any Iranian deviation from the nuclear agreement it would be presented to the IAEA and the six signature powers of the agreement. The IAEA would investigate and report back. If Iran cheated it would be put back under serious international sanctions. That Netanyahoo wants to present something publicly makes it very likely that he has nothing of relevance.

We hear that the documents he is said to present were compiled by one Christopher Steele and assembled with the help of one Sergej Skripal and his MI6 handler [redacted]. They will show that Iran attempts to buy yellowcake uranium from Niger.

This new comedy stunt by Netanyahoo is tightly coordinated with the Trump administration.  Trump’s national security advisor John Bolton has worked with the Zionists since early 2000 to push for a war on Iran:

During multiple trips to Israel, Bolton had unannounced meetings, including with the head of Mossad, Meir Dagan, without the usual reporting cable to the secretary of state and other relevant offices. Judging from that report on an early Bolton visit, those meetings clearly dealt with a joint strategy on how to bring about political conditions for an eventual U.S. strike against Iran.

Behind Trump, Netanyahoo and Bolton is one financier, the militant Zionist and casino magnate Sheldon Adelson. He financed Trump’s and Netanyahoo’s election campaigns and the various think tanks that create anti-Iranian propaganda and paid Bolton.

bigger

Trump wants to leave the nuclear agreement but the other signers, China, Russia, the UK, France and Germany want to keep it up. Just leaving the JCPOA without cause will increase doubt over any agreement the U.S. wants to make on other issues. The allegations Netanyahoo will put forward, no matter how ridiculous they may be, could give Trump some excuse to put new sanctions on Iran without actually leaving the agreement.

But even that does not explain all the recent meetings and visits by the various Israeli and U.S. officials. French soldiers and mercenaries from the UAE have entered north-east-Syria. What for? The Saudis are on board with any operation against Iran.

Something big is up and we do not know yet what it might be.

— Update

That was lame. Netanyahoo just finished his show (vid). He claimed that Israel got access to an Iranian archive of its former nuclear program dating from 1999 to 2003. In 2007 a U.S. National Intelligence Estimate found that Iran stopped all nuclear weapon research in 2003 after the U.S. had destroyed Iran’s then arch-enemy Iraq. In 2011 the IAEA reported in detail of Iran’s former „structured program“. It agreed that it had stopped in 2003.

All that Netanyahoo now claims to have acquired is old and known stuff. He refers to an AMAD plan Iran had as if that was some new intelligence. But the IAEA documented AMAD and its development in 2011 (PDF, Annex, page 5). He uses the archive documents with details of well known former programs to declare that Iran has cheated and is not trustworthy. He says that gives Trump reason to disavow the nuclear agreement the U.S. and others had signed with Iran. That is bullshit.

One wonders where the pictures and files Netanyahoo presented are coming from. I have a hunch that these were not obtained from a „warehouse“ in Iran but exfiltrated from a computer in Vienna where the IAEA analyzes the former Iranian research program from files Iran handed to it.

I had expected better from a serial liar. Some well forged documents or something more dramatic. This was just nonsense.

My feeling is that this is a diversion from an upcoming military(?) operation against Iran or its assets in Lebanon, Syria or Iraq.

Absolutely correct b. Something’s cooking and it won’t take long for the world to find out what it was.

Also, when responding to the Iranian threats to re-start their nuclear program, Mr Trump appears to have an answer pretty resolute i.e „They won’t be starting anything, you can bank on that“

One more thing I like to add. If Mr Trump withdraws US from the deal which is also endorsed by the UNSC, US will loose to IRAN in the war that follows-up.

Right now Netanyahu on CNN – Iran lied. Claims Israel has lots of stolen files.

OH no! not the yellow cake saga again. Well, if they can get away with the Syrian chemical weapons attack that the white helmets can fix with a hose pipe, then anything goes. It looks as though the Skripal affair has lots more secrets to reveal. This story just keeps on giving and giving, although if you looked for it in MSM you wouldn’t find anything on it. I don’t understand why the missile defense system doesn’t appear to activate for the Iranian contingent in Syria. Is it because this was a surprise attack and the Syrians?Russians were caught off guard, or are the Iranians left to fend for themselves as far as air bombardment is concerned? I get the feeling that the West is probing and poking the bear a bit at a time with a stick to get a reaction. They may well be sorry what they wish for.

Doesn’t look like fake anti-establishment, swamp-drainer, poseur Trump has given himself ANY leeway…

with which he might counter or to move away from the numerous neocon nut cases hell-bent for WW3 whom he has permanently invited to his war cabinet golden shower party.

Netanyahu is probably the most dangerous leader in this world, the raw lying and propaganda, its heinous. Not to mention this sick lunatic in Israel have some 300 nukes already themselves, IN SECRET!

Now he have come up with fake documents, trying to justify a war! Same jewish state that whine about antisemitism, this people are not sane…

Hopefully west dont accept this blatant sicko, because as usual, its not Israel that want to wage the war, no, the war must be fought by goyim europeans and especially americans.

With ugly pack of morons as Trump, POmpeo, Bolton, it doesnt look good.

This war hysteria just come weeks after the illegal and dangerous bombing of Syria. Netanyahu clarly is a psychopath.

What is going on with those s300s? Russia needs to give Syria/Iran the means to defend themselves from these repeated acts of Israeli aggression. It should not be so easy for Israel to take out Iranian forces.

Posted by: Jayhawk2018 | Apr 30, 2018 1:37:18 PM | 8

The only way to kick the legs out of Iran in a manner that Israel cares about which would also hurt Assad would be to destroy Hezbollah. The only chance of doing that would be to go full war crime mode and use the most vicious thermobaric or possibly tactical nuclear weapons.

If we did that or enabled the Israelis to do that then we will have reached total depravity. At this point I believe the U.S. public is okay with bombing anyone as long as U.S. lives are not lost. If the Israelis do it we cheer, if we do it then it shows the rest of the world who is boss.

This can all be easily followed all the way back to before the Iranian nuclear deal and a policy paper out of Brookings on how to set up Iran for war. Basically, it states make a deal with Iran then prove that although the West did its best, Iran broke the deal in whatever manner. Appears they have all the actors lined up. Now it begins. The war of words then war. Like we haven’t seen this before.

Nuttyyahoo is dangerous BECAUSE he is thoroughly enabled by the FUKUS, but especially the US in EVERY way – politically, monetarily, morally, and and he is promoted on every television network and mainstream media outlet.

Trump has become increasingly dangerous because he has surrounded himself with Pompeo, Bolton, Nikki Haley, Nuttyyahoo…

„That was lame.“

US/UK/Israel are not even trying for convincing narratives now. Sounds like F-35 was used to hit the ammo dumps in Syria. Maybe the zionists figure they have F35 bugs ironed out and its time to put it to work against Iran.

Nikki Haley aka Nimrata Randhawa, is obviously a mental lightweight and a „yes man“ for positive reinforcement & public relations/messaging purposes.

The others are genuinely depraved, lunatic warmongers whom maintain the ability to string together sentences.

I think b was being sarcastic although Netanyahu and Bolton really are dumb and arrogant enough to try it.

Posted by: Ghost Ship | Apr 30, 2018 2:19:08 PM | 19

Actually Iran has a long-time investment in uranium mines in Namibia, from the Shah’s time, and Ahmadinejad even visited Niger in Apr 2013 while that country was looking to diversify its uranium sales away from the French Areva. There’s nothing „secret“ about any of this, uranium is a fuel for reactors.

Posted by: Cyrus | Apr 30, 2018 2:20:01 PM | 20

… What I like about this story is that, even though smearing Iran doesn’t make any sense, narratives that don’t make sense are ’normal‘ for that bloodthirsty experiment in social engineering known as „Israel“. One wonders whether, if the „Israelis“ are serious about attacking Iran, then shouldn’t they be encouraged to give it a try, just to see what happens? If they’re not worried about blowback from Iran and Hezbollah, why should anyone else lose any sleep over it? When Medvedev was President of Russia he said in an interview (with Zacharia) on a US network that ab attack on Iran would create an „unimaginable refugee catastrophe“. Ironically (or Russian-ly), he didn’t say for whom it would be catastrophic…

Posted by: Hoarsewhisperer | Apr 30, 2018 2:20:13 PM | 21

The JCPOA is not a treaty it’s an agreement between the US president and some other countries. The fact that a US president would seek any agreement with its mortal enemy Iran (as dictated by Israel) is ridiculous, but Obama needed something positive for his presidential library besides mandatory medical insurance (Obamacare) so there you go.

So now there’s a new president who ran on a campaign of scrapping the Iran nuclear agreement (and Obamacare) and he’s doing it. It’s no surprise to Ayatollah Khamenei: Oct 6, 2013– Iran’s Leader “Optimistic” about Rowhani’s US Diplomacy, but Skeptical of Washington, Israel

Certainly, we are pessimistic about the Americans. We do not trust them. We consider the government of the United States of America as an unreliable, arrogant, illogical, and trespassing government, which is badly possessed and dominated by the international Zionist network. They are forced to appease the extorter and forged regime that has occupied Palestine to observe the illegitimate desires and interests of the international Zionist network. They ought to be flexible against it for the interests of the international Zionist network. They call it America’s interests, whereas America’s national interests entirely contradict what they are doing today in support of the forged regime. The government of the United States of America is blackmailing the entire world, appeasing the forged Zionist regime. We witness these facts. We do not trust the US government. We trust our own officials. We are optimist and we want them (officials) to take right and firm steps carefully and considering all aspects. They should not forget national interests even for a second. The important point for the Islamic Republic’s system is the internal strength of the structure of the Islamic Republic, the internal strength of the Iranian nation. This has managed to protect the country, national unity, respect to great ideals of the Islamic Republic, and respect to the national honor. The Iranian nation is a dear nation. The revolution gave honor back to them. . .here

Also, there was actually never any evidence of a nuclear weapons research program prior to 2003 either. The IAEA has specifically gone on record stating in 2009 that it has „no concrete proof that this is or has been a nuclear weapons program in Iran“. Gareth Porter has written more about the 2003 allegations and Israel’s later attempts to undermine the NIE by insisting that there was evidence of „continued“ nuclear weapons work. The worst that the IAEA could ever say it actually found in Iran, were „fragmented and incomplete feasibility studies“ that were „relevant to“ nukes — none of which is in any way a violation of the NPT which actually ENCOURAGES the sharing of technology „relevant to“ nuclear weapons including data from nuclear test explosions.

Posted by: Cyrus | Apr 30, 2018 2:25:01 PM | 23

Wow! The anti-corruption probe into Nuttyyahoo’s activities must be coming close to arresting him; so, to avoid arrest, he must start an actual war of aggression. Only problem is the Zionists like their Outlaw allies are incapable of actually defeating anyone they might attack.

What the Zionists are scared to death of is becoming irrelevant; their Airstrip 1 existence no longer of any value to the Imperialist Empires that created the Zionist state for their own geopolitical machinations. Is there any real reason to militarily attack the Zionists beyond reclaiming Golan? If Lebanon becomes strong enough–I’d argue it’s already–then a simple containment policy coupled with the international BDS movement will be more than enough to facilitate internal political change within the Apartheid State over time–containment will take several years to work as it did on South Africa. Zionist racism has destabilized itself. Talk about a state ripe for being Color Revolutionized. Those are the reasons for the easily seen and rebutted lies of a very desperate politico wanting very much to avoid prison for crimes he committed against his own nation, not the many War Crimes against others.

B.: I had expected better from him. Some well forged documents or something more dramatic. This was just nonsense. ______________________________________________

This is another example of a trend I’ve been on about lately. You’re quite right; the quality of the Western/ME hegemony’s Big Lies is deteriorating markedly before our eyes. But only the minority who are willing and able to keep their eyes wide open seem to notice.

It’s hard to tell if the proliferation of weak and incredible fabrications is based on the Big Liars‘ belief that the public is, or has become, so benighted and bamboozled that they’ll swallow anything, or if it’s an indication that they are running on empty. But, whether it’s due to hubris or degenerate incompetence, it indeed looks as if they aren’t even trying any more.

Then again, as you also point out, Bibi’s anticlimactic histrionics are on a par with his comical September, 2012 performance at the UN, where he produced that cartoon drawing of a „bomb“ in order to flog the typically mendacious and hysterical claim that the noble, harmless State of Israel was in imminent danger of destruction from the „Iranian bomb“.

It’s one thing when zealous Hasbarists, amateur or professional, troll/spam Internet comments boards with their rigidly fatuous, fantastic, Zionist Israel-serving talking points. One expects unsophisticated, fully-indoctrinated True Believers to spew rote talking points and dogma that insult the intelligence of anyone outside the Zionist Hive Mind.

But the fact that Israel’s leaders and authorities shamelessly rely on such childish props to sell their genocidal policies and actions suggests both hubris and abiding contempt for the rest of the world.

It’s hard to believe that Bibi and his allies and supporters don’t know that they’re insulting the rest of the world’s intelligence. I think there’s a word for this. Chutzpah, maybe?

This is an absolutely stunning breaking interview of the Syrian independent member of parliament Fares Shehabi by the bbc hardtalk program. The msm typically try to aggressively browbeat non-western interviewees that they disagree with. Unfortunately, most of the interviewees either get cowed or they get emotional and angry.

Fares Shehabi instead is factually and rationally aggressive, fact by fact, counter-argument by counter-argument, not allowing the bbc interviewer to shut him up. It is a model of how to deal with the msm.

the msm have already managed to get the interview wiped off youtube. but it is still available here

download it and upload it and torrent it everywhere you can so that they cannot wipe it off the net.

„unhinged“ = arrogance turns into stupidity? The latest in the continuing Net-job droning on and on „war with Iran“ might not go as well as he expects, given resistance to withdrawal from the JCPOA. A more easily applied application of „arrogance turns into stupidity“ is the White House Correspondents Dinner this weekend roasting Press Sec Sanders. James Woods‘ response did it nicely at „low class trash.“ More of this sort of thing will indeed be „a gift“ to the Republicans in the upcoming elections.

it’s getting harder and harder to tell what’s really going on. Sites like this are useful, but can only read between the lines: they simply do not have the resources to independantly uncover and vet primary sources of information. More the pity that our establishment news organizations are totally corrupt and have no credibility. That’s a bigger loss than one might at first realize.

That said, it’s interesting that Israel seems to be going real crazy now and not acting as it usually does through its proxies in Washington. I posit two possible interpretations, based on what I would expect as blowback from Trump’s latest Syrian missile strike.

1. The US strike really was successful, Russian air defenses are impotent against US weaponry, and Israel and the US elites feel that it’s now open season on Israel and Iran etc. Open skies, blast away!

2. The US strike was a failure, and Russian air defenses are potentially totally changing the game. Israel and US elites are going nuts and determined to strike hard and fast before the window of opportunity closes, and because they are just in general pissed off at having been defied (‚how dare they defend themselves from our holy humanitarian missile strike?‘). Israel is determined to build momentum for war before the military option becomes untenable. Even if Russian air defenses really are that good, the West can still prevail in the middle east through overwhelming massed attacks… for now…

Note that my thinking posits that our elites will go crazy regardless of what happens – which fits with past experience, but is not perhaps what Karl Popper would have called „falsifiable.“

@Fec 34 The F-35 is not capable of GBU-39 carry, also these glide bombs could be released over international water which safeguards the delivery system.

If Nikki Haley was supposedly voted most likable US politician hence I suggest, lock the US insane asylum and throw out the key, since now anything will be blabbermouthed and nothing of substance will really happen except some unwitting crisis actors will die, a fact of inhumane cruelty of imperial rulers.

Where are dire warnings from Russia about severe consequences if Syria attacked. Russians lost credibility of their threats which is even worse if they have never made them.

I do not know what it would take for people to see what cruel charade all this is, what would it take for people to realize that it is all Roman type of theater of wilderness and pain and we are audience and targets of this propaganda of fear of global nuke war and destruction that they want us to believe is behind all this cruel soap opera.

There will be no global war since there are no fundamental conflicts within global elites despite what propaganda from all sides claims and that including b, trying to make sense of utter unadulterated nonsense of MSM, for those establishment people in west who are already in it are not idiots but rational people who do that immoral, opportunist job for money knowing what they lie about, knowing that there is no danger of global nuke catastrophe whatsoever, otherwise they would act more sober like it was during Cold War.

However, there is logic in this madness, namely to forcefully align nations with discredited ruling elites who attempt to take role of saviors, when no other method of control over population works any more and policies of deliberated destruction of welfare and civil society, openly provoked mass unrest or revolution and instigated natural growth of working class movements in self defense. Warmongering was classical ploy against discontented population used many times in history and nor mere speculation.

Spreading of fear of global anihilation among populations is the ultimate objective of this unheard of verbal and acting belligerence on world stage, which upon examination of basic socioeconomic facts especially soundness and calm of global financial system indicates mood of world peace and love among oligarchic elites who have a good thing going while sheeple are orderly dying of starvation and fear.

But I guess even on this quite brainy blog people are more interested in menacing tabloid surrealism than boring naked truth. Otherwise, b would not have much to write about in his devastating reports on masive MSM lying, with implicit hope that one day may be NYT writes some truth.

It ain’s gonna happen b , their business is lies yours it seems is to skillfully debunk them, these are ironically two sides of the same coin of unsubstantiated hope of making any difference anymore.

Israel will not risk Jews so they will stick to launching air strikes from Lebanon. All of the characters will be happy to use another mercenary army of goys to attack the Syrian gov and it’s allies. Especially attractive might be to use these to buttress the SDF to hold onto eastern Syria or to attack Turk aligned forces.

b,

unfortunately the majority only read headlines. In a world where evidence matters not, details of Bibi Nuttuyahoo’s claim 1999-2003 is a side show.

Bibi is setting the stage for his managing director, D. J. Trump, to „honourably“ withdraw from the JCPOA on May 12 and to pressure the other signatories.

There are somethings larger – I do hope someone (Russia or China) will grant Iran their nuclear umbrella. And Kim, do make a note to self.

The Anglo-Zionists are deep in pretexts to coverup:

1. the black swan flying under heavy wings with $230 trillion global debt must be brought down. Not nearly enough in the ESF.

2.Revelations on the recent 100 missiles hoax to retaliate for the ‚chemical attack‘ that was not. Can’t disappear Robert Fisk’s expose – he is widely read..

3. Christoper Steele’s Case on the dock wherein he will be deposed. Oh wait, where is he in hiding with the Skripals?

Putin blocking the delivery of S-300 in Syria against the demands of the Russian Military

This was discussed by Putin with General Staff chief Valery Gerasimov and Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu on April 20. The Russian military, they told the President, want the go-ahead to deploy S-300 missile batteries to cover Syrian and Iranian forces against US and Israeli attack from the air. They believe Israeli threats to attack the S-300 batteries as soon as they are operational are a bluff which Russia must call if Russia’s positions in Syria, and Iran itself, are not to come under subsequent attack from the American-Israeli combination. Testing the threat in Syria, they argue, is the less threatening, less costly option than encouraging the Americans and Israelis to prepare their offensive against Iran. Putin won’t agree.

To respond to Putin’s reluctance, the General Staff and the Defence Ministry have devised a step short of the S-300, but with potentially enough defensive power to intercept or deter American and Israeli air attacks. This is the deployment of more Russian electronic warfare systems with the capacity to jam the surveillance, targeting, fire control and command signals on which the attackers rely. It is the Samson Haircut option – deprive the giant of control of his firepower, blind him.

Silently, Putin has decided to protect Deripaska; not to call the US attack on Rusal an act of war; and to test the Americans with an offer of armistice. International bankers close to Russian business believe it is a Russian illusion that an armistice with the US can be anything but temporary; pursuing it is a miscalculation of US intentions, the sources add. They warn that new attacks will come.

Putin Reportedly “Ready For Deep Concessions”, Seeks Deal With Trump

He understands Russia can’t compete with the West economically and he doesn’t plan to go to war with the West.

Kremlin has ordered officials to curb their anti-U.S. rhetoric.

Putin’s decision explains why lawmakers Monday suddenly pulled a draft law that would’ve imposed sweeping counter-sanctions on U.S. companies, two of the people said.

Posted by: Curtis | Apr 30, 2018 4:44:15 PM | 61

Et al–

Russia began its Syria intervention with an S-400 deployed in Latakia and has introduced several more since, one being in Sept 2017. Syria also has the BUK-M2E AA system and the Pantsir to go with its older and upgraded S-200 systems along with who knows what else. Just what was off loaded from Russian supply vessels under the cover of smoke last week (don’t know if such veiling’s continuing)? My guess is more AA systems of the type causing Zionists on both sides of Atlantic to freakout.

As for the Zionists attacking Iranian military bases, those Iran uses in Syria are joint-use with Syria regardless of what’s said by Zionists; so, any such attack will need to be aimed at Iran proper. The consequences for the region would be horrible–particularly for Zionists and Saudis: Dimona would be leveled as would Saudi oil infrastructure. The fallout and other pollution would be appalling. If the Zionists want to keep their skin, they’ll arrest Nutty before he gets his get-out-of-jail war started.

Zionists know they’ve lost and are contained and constrained, so they’re moving into desperation mode. Too bad they lack the courage to put a pistol to their head and pull the trigger.

There were a number of reasons for the Balfour Declaration, but one of the major ones was defense of the Suez Canal, vital for communications to India. The Turks had already attacked the canal twice by 1917. The Brits wanted a local group on the spot that would help to defend the canal. A Jewish settlement filled the bill.

Posted by: Bakerpete | Apr 30, 2018 5:48:45 PM | 76

Embedded in the news story (link below) is a video claimed to be of one of the bombs dropped during the attack described in the news story.

I have no way of knowing yet how many bombs were dropped in all nor what they were exactly. The report of the attack registering 2.6 on the Richter scale suggests that at least one hit was something VERY big. I am inclined to believe that this blast in the video is entirely independent of the earth-shaking explosion.

The explosion in the video is obviously of a uranium-based warhead. The brilliant white flash is NOT a nuclear (fission or fusion) flash (no mushroom shaped up-draft), and it is followed immediately by a scattering of equally brilliant white sparks and leaves a major fire burning. The sparks are bits of the warhead (which is actually made of a uranium-based alloy — at least 95% uranium) designed to shatter upon ignition in order to give access to air (oxygen) to all the metal mass of the warhead, thus enabling it all to burn simultaneously (i.e. within a few seconds of the initial ignition) and create maximum heat/destruction. The smaller the pieces, the better they burn in such an explosion.

When the uranium is ignited, it burns at +/- 6,000°C. creating heat on par with a nuclear explosion (but without that horribly inconvenient mushroom-shaped cloud). This one looks like a thermobaric bomb (a reworked up-graded, „enhanced“, uraniumized version of the „daisy cutter“ first used in Vietnam).

Visible near the end of the (brief) video are other, small explosions, which could be of the same magnitude but much farther away or which could be the result of other weapons near the same site but of much smaller power.

This bomb appears to be similar to those used in southern Lebanon in 2006. The United Nations Environmental Program’s post-conflict assessment unit found that those warheads had been made of low enriched uranium.

Noteworthy, and in contradiction to the official version of an attack on arms depots, is the lack of any cascade of explosions that such an attack would trigger among the arms in the depot. After the invasion of Iraq, there was an attack on a United States arms depot, and it was recorded on a fair number of videos, some quite good, all, as far as I know, long since flushed down the memory hole. The noise of the depot’s arms exploding was unmistakable, and there were major firey elements flying everywhere from those secondary explosions. There is none of that here.

No news site is perfect — much less infallible. However, Middle East Eye I have found to be one of the more reliable. Hence, I am inclined to take seriously anything that they publish, even when it does not seem to make sense to me.

Russia could easily give Syria the s300 system. But Putin clearly does not want to hurt his buddy Netanyahu’s feelings. They are always so chummy you can see there is a mutual respect between them whenever they meet. Russia is only in Syria to fight terrorism. They will obviously not confront Israel and go to war, and that is of course, understandable. But whats even worse is that they seem to refuse to give Syria/Iran the means to defend themselves from Israeli attacks.If its true Putin is blocking the delivery himself against the request of the Russian Army, that is even more shameful.I guess in terms of preventing a World War, it is good that Putin is chummy with Netanyahu.However a regional war is looking very likely at this point.Unfortunately the only way Israel will learn is by being smashed in the teeth. I’m sure in time Syria, Iran or Hezbollah will have to teach them another lesson.

It’s hilarious when some idiot suggests I read a book when almost my entire knowledge-base comes from various written sources including several thousand books over the years.

Seems the Zionist desalination program’s insufficient to solve Palestine’s water crisis, which is the primary reason Lebanon’s been invaded by them. Jordan’s situation is even worse as it has less water and faster growing population. Here’s one brief look at the problem but lacks specifics about the Zionist’s contribution–they don’t want to share with any non-Zionist. The Zionists new desalination plants would be juicy targets (yes, I know they aren’t supposed to be targeted, but tell that to the Killer Coalition Outlaws), more important than Dimona.

Or maybe it’s that Nutty has his own private Death Wish.

The fire-station in HOms 35km away from the strike main point was also targetted in a clear intend to avoid fire-fighters going to suffocate the huge fires in the aftermath, which is a despicable act much in line with Israel usual behavior.

Also, by attacking the „Zainabydoun Brigade“, where the young died soldiers belonged, Israel is clearly trying to provoke the Shia sector of the resitance, and especially Hezbollah,in the verge of the Lebanese Parlimentary Elections to be hold 6th May, where hezbollah could well consolidate, more if needed, its role as one of the main political forces in Lebanon with which Israel and the US will find it more difficult to continue labelling it as a terrorist organization…

A lot of Russian oligarchs are dual Israeli or American -Russian citizens. Even in the Soviet era while they provided just enough support to prevent the Arab countries from being totally defeated they stopped short of giving them enough to threaten Israel or defeat them. Putin has made peace with a number of the oligarchs that remain in Russia but he has to take care not to get the pro Israeli -US faction riled or threaten their overseas financial interests which Trump has threatened to do with sanctions targeted at the oligarchs

So Russia will prevent Syria from being totally overwhelmed but concede the US the northeast oil rich fields and Israel gets the gas fields in Golan. They will allow isolated missile attacks and bombing by US and Israel that both resort to for show to appease their hawks. In the meantime if Assad has an accident or gets overthrown due to economic reasons then israel and US may get their puppet state and Russia/Iran may exit. Then on to Lebanon and Iran.

Wars are not fought to be won anymore. They are fought to be long lasting. Perpetual War Abroad is Peace at Home

The strike on the Aleppo targets (only some civilian buildings were hit, either there was a glitch or they simply didn’t care what they hit) seems to have been carried out by Israeli aircraft releasing glide bombs from turkish (and/or US) controlled air space, similar to the 2007 warehouse attack.

As for the Hama strike, it seems that for the first time ballistic missiles instead of cruise missiles were used. These are more challenging targets than subsonic cruise missiles because of their high speed (The Scud for instance reaches Mach 5 / 1.7 km/s).

The „Pantsir“, the most modern short range AD system in syrian service is suitable for targets up to a speed of Mach 3 / 1 km/s. A new high speed missile for the system should enable it for target speeds of several km/s, but it is only scheduled to become available in 2019.

The most modern medium range system is the „Buk“ which is able to combat targets with a speed of up to 1.2 km/s in the M2 version. The M3 version gets up to 3 km/s but it is only available since 2016 and therefore not likely to be in Syrian service.

Syria does not have modern long range air defence systems with ABM capability like S300/S400. Note that because of the target speed the range of an AD system is lower against ballistic missiles, S-400 with its standard 48N6DM missile has a range of 240 km against aircraft, but only 60 km against ballistic missiles. Therefore the Russian S-400 system in Khmeimim was not in a position to do anything against the strike.

So the current capabilities of Syrian AD against ballistic missile threats don’t look too good – the S-300 really is needed.

Canthama at SyrPers provides this from the SAA’s FB:

Canthama: „I believe this an important statement from the folks of the SAA FB (not official SAA but with ex SAA and with deep connections to the SAA leadership).

„It confirms some of the info we shared early today, limited damaged, but it brings hints of a possible attack from the ground and not long distance missiles, that would explain the lack of SyAAD activity. Worth following this info.“

SAA FB:“We had a long post regarding last night and we were asked to put it on hold for the time being. We can however say that almost all the speculations and analysis that are circulating social media are false.

„A storage depot was hit by GBU-39B glide bombs not coming from the sea or South/West; the attack is highly suspected to be ground launched but we cannot confirm this.

„The type of ammunition targeted was insignificant, grad rockets and several other domestic munition; there was no sophisticated weaponry whatsoever; also, the level of attack was insignificant as well.

„What created the huge explosions was the fact that one of the major storage depots caught fire and exploded which resulted in what you saw.

„No side publicly claimed responsibility for the attack but that doesn’t mean the Syrian command isn’t aware of the side and the intention.

„Finally, and this message is to those in non-official military media; in cases of foreign aggression no one should be spreading any sort of information that they aren’t sure of, rather they should wait an official statement or only stick to the aftermath in their reports, rather than jumping into spreading rumors and analysis-based reports then calling it news.

„For the time being, we cannot answer more than what’s written here but perhaps soon we can have a long explanation posted.“

Canthama recommends this piece by Adam Garrie which I too find interesting. However, Garrie’s incorrect about the lack of fatalities; Canthama specifically posted these four–Captain Fadi Othman, Lt Hassan Zuhair, Suleiman Mohsen Al Malhami, Yahya Mohammed Alsaleem–out of an initial 13 reported KIA.

There is nothing new about Netanyahu’s nonsense-as everyone seems to realise: the only justification for his party and his particular brand of fascism is the belief that there can be no peace for Jewish people generally, and Israelis in particular until all potential opponents have been wiped out or terrorised into slavery. And he has managed to convince most Israelis of this-something which means that in moral and political, and probably clinical terms too, they are insane- beyond the reach of reason. What is new and makes the situation very dangerous is that the US is going along with this for the ride. It has run out of ideas on how to deal with the gathering storm of consequences from eighty years of arrogance and careless neglect of the inevitable fall out from its self indulgent policies. And Trump, under constant pressure from the idiots running the Deep State, has no conception of the implications of the little games that he is playing and encouraging others (see Netanyahu above) to play. In his mind he is starring in an extempore version of the Godfather. Way down at the bottom of things worth mentioning is the fact that the UK government is in an even bigger crisis. It is clearly doomed unless the world ends first, which is something it is happy to consider. May and her allies (who include the Blairite Labour party and almost all the political class including the SNP and the Liberals) will (as the recent attacks in Syria showed) go along with Trump whatever happens, which means that the other ‚eyes‘ the White Commonwealth of Canada, Australia etc will do the same. This is the problem with empires in decline, they become suicidal. And having reconciled themselves with death they lose any inhibitions. Poor old Putin just doesn’t understand that: for years it has been clearer and clearer that Russia and China were rational, legalistic and diplomatic while the ‚west‘ reverted to its barbaric ways, defying rules, breaking treaties, laughing at international law, drunken berserkers running amok employing the weapons that they have been accumulating for decades because fearing that the end is near they fear nothing else. The future holds no hope for them. Putin who sees only the reality that the US remains both enviably rich and powerful cannot understand how unstable and dangerous it has become. As to China, nothing surprises its leadership any more which is why it spends all day lifting weights and eating high protein foods, ready to defend itself and studiously avoiding involvement.

@karlof1 85 the [GB-39B glide bomb] attack is highly suspected to be ground launched but we cannot confirm this. Mar 10, 2015 Boeing, Saab Unveil Ground Launched SDB

The system essentially sticks a GBU-39B small diameter bomb, widely used by the US military and a number of international customers, on the front of a M26 rocket. The M26 is set to be demilitarized by 2018 under a set of cluster munitions treaties, meaning the GLSDB program would essentially be recycling an item that countries were planning to stockpile or scrap. The weapon is designed to be launched out of a multiple launch rocket system (MLRS), used by a number of US allies already, avoiding the need to design a new launch system. That MLRS can hold six weapons per pod, with two pods per vehicle. . .here

There would be evidence of the rocket, methinks.

„I’m still in shook Putin didn’t place 300s in Syria long, long ago“

Shocked? Lol

Israel ordered Putin not to sell the S-300 to Syria 7 years ago. It is a well known info. „Western Partners“ demanded that Russia never sells anything like that to Syria. Russia also complied with US sanctions against Iran and refused to sell them the S-300 until the JCPOA was signed. Even now, Russia offers the S-400 to Turkey and Saudi Arabia but not to Iran.

Not only that, but there is an agreement between Putin and Netanyahu where Russia allows Israel to bomb targets in Syria without any retaliation.

You see, Putin is begging to be admitted in the Western Club, as an equal. This is why he is doing those things. But they still don’t want him, as they want full control over Russia. They do not recognize „equals“. What he wants is that several different oligarhies carve up the world between themselves (multipolar world), and so that his group can control Russia and the surrounding areas (its sphere of influence). What they want is only one oligarchy to rule them all (unipolar world).

Syria is just a chip for Putin in that game to be part of the NWO.

@timbers 87

„I’m still in shook Putin didn’t place 300s in Syria long, long ago“

Shocked? Lol

Israel ordered Putin not to sell the S-300 to Syria 7 years ago. It is a well known info. „Western Partners“ demanded that Russia never sells anything like that to Syria. Russia also complied with US sanctions against Iran and refused to sell them the S-300 until the JCPOA was signed. Even now, Russia offers the S-400 to Turkey and Saudi Arabia but not to Iran.

Not only that, but there is an agreement between Putin and Netanyahu where Russia allows Israel to bomb targets in Syria without any retaliation.

You see, Putin is begging to be admitted in the Western Club, as an equal. This is why he is doing those things. But they still don’t want him, as they want full control over Russia. They do not recognize „equals“. What he wants is that several different oligarhies carve up the world between themselves (multipolar world), and so that his group can control Russia and the surrounding areas (its sphere of influence). What they want is only one oligarchy to rule them all (unipolar world).

Syria is just a chip for Putin in that game to be part of the NWO.

You don’t know what you are talking about.

For example, nuclear fuel rods are made of low enriched uranium typically containing 3% to 5% U-235, with the other 95-97% being pure uranium-238. While you wouldn’t want them in your pocket 24/7, you certainly could hold them in your hand without any great danger.

Even a sub-critical mass of uranium-235 is not going to go fissile and it will not „kill anyone trying to manufacture it, or transport, load, store etc.“

Please do a little homework before you rudely go off on someone without having any idea what you are talking about.

@bevin 86 the US is going along with this for the ride No, for the money. The simple fact is that AIPAC and Israel have an iron grip on each and every member of the US Congress. It’s been established that Israel rules, and Congressmembers get „contributions“ and trips to Israel and other perks. On the other hand, if any Congress member who gives a slight little anti-Israel (i.e. anti-Semitic) peep will become an ex-Congressmember. It’s happened, with highly-financed opposition to a deviant’s transgression at the next biannual election. One example is Cynthia McKinney (links broken.

@52 I don’t understand that argument, Don.

The Russians can unload any S-300 delivery at Tartus. There is zero chance that the Israelis will bomb them while they remain inside a Russian military base.

And those missiles can stay there while the Russians train up the Syrians in their use. Again, attacking while they remain inside Tartus is a no-go.

And the S-300’s are road-mobile. They can be driven out of Tartus to their eventual operational deployment, which means that they leave the protection of Tartus only when they are capable of defending themselves.

Or, in short: Israeli plans are predicated on taking out those missiles before they can be made operational. But they can be made operational while they are still inside a Russian military base protected by S-400 defences, and by the time they leave that protection the Syrians are already able to shoot down any attackers.

The only thing using a 95% uranium level is a fission weapon(supercritical reaction)…otherwise 95% is only found in top national R & D labs, working on fission efficiency…letting field grunts load a 95% uranium anything?…not in anyones imagination….

@ 92…do you understand why the majority is u238?

You wrote „A 95% uranium „anything“ is not possible“. Maybe you meant something else, but that statement is hardly true.

@97 we are not talking about a weapons R & D facility…we are talking applied munition in the field…scattering many kgs of 95% uranium in the field would be fairly easy to detect, and would bring you under immediate international scrutiny…
