Oh Say Can You See?

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

“A modern nuc can fit in the trunk of a compact car. When millions of people can walk across our border with impunity what do you think the chances are we would catch something that size?”Sam Faddis, Retired CIA

Who was not impressed seeing the sudden and total collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge after getting its pylon bonked by the container ship Dali a few hours before the dawn’s early light in Baltimore harbor? In America’s ongoing death-of-a-thousand-cuts, that one literally severed a major artery, but it may take a while to know how badly the wounded colossus known as the USA is bleeding out.

“Joe Biden” emerged from his crypt pronto to state that the federal government would pony-up the cost of building the bridge back better, meant to reassure the public, you’d suppose. But perhaps the real reason was to obviate an otherwise requisite investigation of the crash by ship-owner Grace Ocean’s insurance company — since legal wrangling over responsibility would add more years to the already years-long estimated bridge replacement time-frame. And Gawd knows what else they might discover about how the darn thing came to pass. . . rumors of a Ukrainian captain at the Dali’s helm. . . stuff that the ruling intel blob might not want to get out there, especially given the still-murky role of the joint USA-UK black-op blobs in the Moscow Crocus Theater Massacre just a week earlier.

The Crocus op, you understand, was probably the worst clusterfuck qua Three Stooges blob operational procedure in memory, since four of the six surviving Tajiki shooters were nabbed in a car enroute to the Ukraine border (where they would’ve been whacked into silence, since they failed to martyr themselves at the scene-of-the-crime), and by now had surely sung their hearts out to persuasive interrogators of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) — the take-away being that President VV Putin has got to be mighty pissed-off and itching for revenge. Was the FSK Bridge take-down the first repayment for that, lots of people inside and outside Blob Central were probably wondering?

You’d also have to wonder, qua the bridge disaster itself, about the implied reverberations through the insurance industry. Consider that the insurance industry is a major cog in the machinery of finance and banking, since insurance company reserves are traditionally allocated in supposedly safe sovereign treasury bonds. Liquidations anyone? Maritime insurance was already groaning under the burden of all that monkey-business in the Red Sea, thanks to Houthi rocket and drone attacks on the shipping of Western Civ. Are the banks quaking harder now? Many across Western Civ were already trembling before the FSK Bridge job.

While the awesome spectacle of the bridge collapse traumatized the country, it also brought to mind the fantastic flow of ten-thousand illegal border crossings a day, stage-managed by the “Joe Biden” Homeland Security team. Did you kind of wonder how many in that 10K-a-day flow might be the same species of Central Asian mutts who volunteered to slaughter over 150 (so far) Russian concert-goers? Nobody is checking who they are, you realize. They just step on US soil, get issued smartphones, loaded debit cards, walking-around cash money, airplane and bus tickets and, voila, there they are in your home town tomorrow, looking for something to occupy themselves. Thanks a bunch, Alejandro Mayorkas!

Are you wondering what sort of mayhem they might be capable of unleashing any place from Bangor to Burbank in the weeks and months ahead? (And, while you’re at it, think about all the food processing plant fires, train wrecks, and other mysterious tribulations around the country the past couple of years.) Consider that this very week alone, following the SSK Bridge disaster, absolutely nothing has been done by our government to stem that flow of countless potential saboteurs into the country. The news media isn’t even talking about it (of course).

The prospects might look a bit unnerving, wouldn’t you agree? Things catching fire, blowing up, and falling down here, there, and everywhere. . . more of those thousand cuts adding up. Just maybe, the dazed-and-confused (possibly hypnotized) American public, a.k.a., the “voters,” might put together that “Joe Biden” and the Party of Chaos that owns him, are actually responsible for the on-going take-down of our country. After a certain point — now apparently passed — sheer incompetence is no longer a plausible explanation for what you are seeing.

Oh, one other thing, look out for on-the-ground economic reverberations from the FSK Bridge disaster. For instance, Baltimore is the USA’s top port for importing and exporting automobiles. Also, earth-moving and large farm equipment, fertilizer, lumber, coal, and steel. Other arrangements must be made, for years ahead, considering the trucking links. It’s especially an interruption for trucking between the mid-Atlantic / New England states and much of Dixieland. It will affect the transport of fruits and vegetables to the Washington-Boston corridoer. Things are going to cost more and we are already in an inflationary trouble-zone. How will this thunder elsewhere through an economy which, despite the japes of “Joe Biden’s” statisticians, is actively disintegrating? The fluttering wings of this black swan already throw a chill on spring’s incoming zephyrs.

The comment about this being an artery rather than another of the thousand pin pricks is accurate. The bleeding has not stopped and will require lots of plasma and stitches. The economic follow on will be a bitch and a half. Expect the filthy Progs to bleat endlessly about how much they are boosting everything with their aid packages.
The circus is coming to Baltimore. DEI will demand all top positions in the rebuild go to a color or lifestyle as opposed to a skill or capability.

“For instance, Baltimore is the USA’s top port for importing and exporting automobiles. Also, earth-moving and large farm equipment, fertilizer, lumber, coal, and steel.”
I believe Baltimore is the largest import hub of FERTILIZER into the country. The attack on food click into higher gear. Just in time for spring planting, there is no fertilizer. Uh-oh…

Oddly enough, late on Monday afternoon, about 8 hours before the bridge collapsed, during a period the plant was shut down for maintenance, a brush fire broke out next to the Mosaic Company plant in Riverview, Florida.
The fire occurred at the global fertilizer company’s third-largest production facility which mines and processes phosphate and potash minerals for fertilizer.
Firefighters were able to save the plant itself, however flames consumed the plastic high-density polyethylene pipes that service the complex. So it’s likely going to be out of production for a while at least.
But I’m sure that this is just a coincidence…… right?

Two things about Russia.. 1. They don’t react rapidly….If this is payback it is more likely for the attack on the Crimean bridge. 2. Under Putin they have mostly tried to act within international law…as THEY understand it. If this is payback they have just changed their policy.

Now what other country in the world is currently upset with USA, cannot be criticized, and has attacked before, both openly and with false flags?

On the other hand, if the captain of this ship was Ukrainian, it isn’t like they haven’t made threats too, if we fall to support them fully, but with the connection of whom you refer and Ukraine, your suggestion still might not be that off the mark.

We haven’t even begun to feel the aftershocks of the Baltimore bridge collapse. Based on my logistics experience, I know how strategic that port and bridge were having shipped RO/RO (Roll On Roll Off) through it hundreds of times. It’ll take a while for the supply chain disruption to ripple through the Global economy and for people to notice the delays and lack of availability.

Baltimore’s port is huge with an average of 173 ships per day. All inbound and outbound cargo must now find new ports. It’ll take a long time to reopen the port and years longer to rebuild the bridge. This will cause delays and congestion at other ports including Canadian which will also have ripple effects far into the future.

Compounding the problem, the bridge and the I-95 interconnection were the distribution bottleneck for the cargo handled at the port. It was also the major hazardous materials (petroleum products, etc.) and oversized load routes that connected the northern and southern states. This is now severed. All this cargo must now also be rerouted resulting in further disruptions and higher freight costs (i.e. inflation.) One example is aviation fuel that can no longer use I-95 to supply major East Coast airports. Another is the disruption of fresh fruit and vegetables. Many more will reveal themselves.

That bridge collapse was no accident. It was brilliant target selection and a strategic attack on critical American infrastructure, with minimal loss of life, cascading repercussions, no return address, and our intelligence agencies with egg on their faces pretending it was an accident. That was no accident.

You know why “officials” are downplaying it? Because unlike Gerold, none of them have any practical experience at anything beyond paper shuffling and academia. 90% of these people can’t change a tire or start a lawn mower. Fixing a broken logistics chain overnight affecting millions is way outside their wheelhouse.

The Soviets had perfected a “suitcase nuke” by the late 1960s. These devices were approximately 2 ft X 3 ft in size, by most accounts. And, from the late 1990s to not long after 9/11, it was widely reported that Al Qaeda had approached several top commanders of the old USSR satellite states, in pursuit of acquiring a few of them.

In 1997, a former Soviet general, Alexander I. Lebed, gave an interview to 60 Minutes in which he contended that the Soviet Union had created around 250 suitcase-sized portable nuclear weapons, similar to the United States’ B-54. Quite shockingly, Lebed said that 100 of the Soviet stockpile were missing and unaccounted for. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-sep-09-mn-30448-story.html
