Whitehall/205; Obama as “Manchurian Candidate” does seem to fit the evidence. I’d really like to know how the military below the JCS evaluates the situation

–me too, Whitehall. One wonders what an event horizon would look like. I keep having this waking nightmare of the USN being the only world nonpareil, and a coven of conspirators working on how to manipulate the American people into wanting to pull it back to anchor in the home ports — a la the German High Seas fleet after Jutland. i keep remembering all the fleet carriers we lost in the WW2 Pacific –to weapons systems nowhere near as effective as today’s.

Not that we don’t have any Admiral Ernest J. Kings anymore, but that we DO perhaps have an unprecedented presidential leadership impetus, separated from the whole past not in degree but in kind.
