Readers have asked me why 10 of 11 US aircraft carriers are lined up in a row in dock allegedly for maintanence. It reminds them of the battleships at Pearl Harbor. Readers ask if this could be an indication that the Deep State is planning a false flag attack on the carriers, as was carried out on the World Trade Center and Pentagon in order to get the US at war with the independent Muslim world, this time in order to get the US at war with Russia before Trump can restore normal relations.
I don’t think so. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was real, if provoked. The deception apparently was in the fact that Washington had warning but did not share it with the US Navy in Pearl Harbor. The Battleships were outmoded weapons, and the aircraft carriers had been removed. It would be extremely difficult to blame a false flag attack on US aircraft carriers on Russia. Indeed, if Russia wants to attack the US, the target would not be obsolete weapons such as aircraft carriers.
According to what I have been told by former(?) intelligence officers, the aircraft carriers are in dock so that their copper wiring can be replaced by fiber optics. Apparently, the Russians have the capability to shut down the operating systems of our ships and aircraft that are copper wired. In behalf of this conclusion, there were news reports that a missile ship Washington sent to impress the Russian naval base in Crimea had all its systems shut down by the overflight of one Russian jet. According to another news report, two Israeli US jet fighters were sent to express disobdience to Russia’s controlled airspace in Syria. The Russians asked the Israelis to leave, and when they did not, the Russians shut down the fire control and communication systems of their aircraft.
According to what I have been told, the Russians discovered that copper wiring permits them to disrupt the operating systems with certain radar frequencies built into their air control systems
If this account is true, and I lack the technical experise to judge what I have been told, we are presented with a test case of what we are told are Russian and Chinesa aggressive intentions against the West. With the US carrier task forces inoperative, this is a prime time for Russia to seize Ukraine and whatever else they are alleged to want, and it is a prime time for China to take Taiwan and Japan if they want it. There is no American Navy to deploy to stop them, and a nuclear threat from the clowns in Washington would mean nothing other than the complete destruction of the entire Western world, with the moronic idiots in Washington being the first to go.
The charges of Chinese and Russian aggression are fantastic lies. China has not declared the Gulf of Mexico or the seas off the California coasts to be “areas of Chinese national interest,” but the killer bitch Hillary in the regime of the Nobel Peace Laureate declared the South China Sea to be “an area of US national interest.” This is provocation beyond provocation. No intelligent diplomat would ever make such a ridiculous and provocative claim.
Russia conquered Georgia in response to Georgia’s invasion of South Ossetia, but released it and did not reincorporate the former Russian province back into the Russian Federation where it had resided for 300 years. Russia refused the requests for reincorporation from the Donetsk and Luhansk breakaway republics in Ukraine. Russia has not declared the Baltics and Eastern Europe to be areas of Russian national interest, but the US has and has incorporated them into Washington’s mercenary army, stationing troops, tanks, and missiles there with which to attack Russia. Russia has not responded in kind.
All of the aggression in the world stems from Washington. This is plain as day. How come so few see the obvious? Who else but Washington has been at war since the Clinton regime murdering people in nine countries?
Why is the entire liberal-progressive-left helping the entrenched CIA Establishment demonize president-elect Donald Trump, whose stated goal is to normalize relations with Russia? Is this an indication that the liberal-progressive-left is a CIA front? This possibility is not far-fetched. As it is a known fact that the CIA owns the American and European print and TV media, why would the CIA ignore the liberal-left “progressive” Internet media?
The rule is that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Clearly the Establishment enemy of the liberal-left is Trump’s enemy, so why is the liberal-left allied with its Establishment enemy against Trump?
The real question is: Does the US really have an independent liberal-left?
If so, where is it? The liberal-progressive-left has served as protectors of the fake 9/11 official story that a few Saudis uninformed by an intelligence service or a state apparatus outwitted all 16 US intelligence agencies, the National Security Council, the Pentagon, airport security, air traffic control, the US Air Force and Dick Cheney himself, along with Israel’s Mossad and all the intelligence services of the US Empire, and inflicted the most humuliating defeat on an alleged “superpower” in the entire history of the world.
Anyone stupid enough to believe the official 9/11 story is not sufficiently intelligent to be qualified to be left-wing or even a sentinent being.
What the Western world hurtling to its destruction desperately needs is a real left-wing, a left-wing immune to emotional disabilities that blind it to reality.
” …. this is a prime time for Russia to seize Ukraine and whatever else they are alleged to want, ” ——— PCR
PCR sucks diseased donkey dick.
If Russia wanted Ukraine, they could invade any fucking time they want, and literally be done with the invasion and total defeat of Ukraine in less than a week. And there isn’t a goddamned thing ‘Murika could do about it. Oh, wait …. SANCTIONS! Bwahahahaha
There is ZERO benefit to Russia to invade Ukraine. Perhaps PCR is confusing Russia with that other war mongering aggressive State …. the USA!USA!USA!
Fuck Ukraine!
It has turned into a big money pit. The Russians don’t want it because they want the West to pay for it. It is half Russian anyways. It is a carnival show done as farce and pulled by donkeys.
This is old clip. It is from RT, that purveyor of fake news, but it does give some flavour of the place. When the Russians take Odessa back most of the people in this video will be hanging from a noose.
All speaking Russian.
One is a Former Prez of Georgia.
The another a known Nazi.
damn, maybe you need to READ:
“…we are presented with a test case of what we are TOLD are Russian and Chinesa aggressive intentions against the West. With the US carrier task forces inoperative, this is a prime time for Russia to seize Ukraine and whatever else they are alleged to want, and it is a prime time for China to take Taiwan and Japan if they want it….”
Oxymoron: “…wing immune to emotional disabilities that blind it to reality.”
All this sounds like a setup for the outgoing Regime to sabotage Trump and the country, and to create a crisis to finally take over the government under martial law.
Being former Naval aviation(aircraft electrician AE) deployed on the USS JFK, I am fully aware of the mission of the carriers, and all of them sitting in port is nowhere in the scope. If the claim is that they are in port for upgrades I do not believe it. If you had 3 vehicles would you send them all to the shop voluntarily and be without transportation? This makes no sense as our first line of defense is gone as is the protection of the second, the rest of the battle group.
To be called to dock for weapons upgrades is normal but not all the carriers at once. One reality of the carrier is to launch all the attack aircraft it can before being sunk. So really, if Russia has the capability to shut down the ships systems it surely has the capability to just sink it or damage it badly enough to render it useless.
It may well be that we are being set up for a false flag, or perhaps it is simply that the community organizer in chief is pulling back from the Med and IO to leave Israel vulnerable to attack. That would surely set off WWIII.
Thank you. I live a mile as the crow flies from the largest naval base in the world, and I worked for the navy for 20 years. I’m no navy expert, but I do know it’s highly unusual, unprecedented even, that all the carriers are in port at the same time. But the sheep won’t even notice, and if they did, they’d tell you what a great job the warmonger in chief is doing.
“The rule is that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” ”
Stupid rule.
As often as not in today’s world the enemy of my enemy is another one of my enemies as well.
Aircraft carriers are obsolete, outmoded by anti-ship missiles. Even the Archdruid has written a fictional account of how they could be quickly sunk. Twilight’s Last Gleaming by J.M. Greer:

These carriers are all at the same base?
There’s safety in numbers.
I would be far more concerned if all of the Ohio class submarines were parked at the same time.
I don’t buy the copper wiring theory. If the Russians have discovered a deficiency in US ships why would we only upgrade the Aircraft Carriers? The entire battle group that protects the carriers would need the same upgrades or it would be pointless.
The implied jamming is not credible, I can’t see any other trigger since the wires must have an antenna to receive a good enough signal for any kind of jamming.
So what kind of threat are they talking about, what could penetrate the steel ship and affect copper wire? An EMP from a nuclear missile.
“And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people.”
“I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
” The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will be dissolved in the fire, and the earth and its works will not be found. “
It is concerning that that most of the carriers are in port. Ike just got back and the ChuckyV just went out. All others show in port or in maintenance.
However they are hardly ALL lined up in a row waiting for the Japanese to bomb them. The largest concentration of active carriers is in Norfolk, Va. Clocking in with 5. 2 of which aren’t going anywhere. The Lincoln is finishing a refueling and the Truman is probably in drydock.
All the other carriers are scattered along the west coast and Japan.

Maybe if a coup was planned, then you might want all your carriers in port.
