Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
Portmanteau
Portmanteau is a noun that comes from the French words porter, meaning “to carry,” and manteau, meaning “mantle or cloak”, thus the plural of portmanteau is portmanteaux, following the French form for pluralization.
It can refer to a large leather suitcase that opens into two hinged compartments…or it can also refer to a word formed by combining two other words, such as ‘smog’ from combining smoke and fog.

Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
Epic
The word, ‘Epic’, is a noun which comes from the Latin word epicus…and before that, from the Greek word epikos…which meant: a long story, tale or poem.
Over time, the word ‘Epic’ came to be used as an adjective…to mean “huge, grand or impressive”.
Used in a sentence:
The Democrats’ display of epic weapons-grade-stupidity is almost like they view it as an art form that they are trying to perfect.

Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
Malapropism
‘Malapropism’ is a noun that means…the ludicrously wrong use of a word or phrase. It comes from the French phrase mal a propos, which means “inappropriate”.
A malapropism is often unintentional, when a person uses a word or phrase completely wrong, such as saying that ‘medieval cathedrals are supported by flying buttocks’.
But sometimes a malapropism is used intentionally for a humorous effect.
Used in a sentence:
The Leftist News Nozzles repeatedly beclown themselves with the malapropism of calling the paid professional rioters, “peaceful protestors”.

For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition from Fearless Motivation, titled ‘Persistence’:
Visual Descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful: Header & First Image: A young lady warrior is standing in a field of tall grasses, looking over her shoulder at us. Behind her in the distance, an enormous Tree dominates the landscape. Her long white hair and the tall grasses, are blowing in the wind. Her dark green velvet embroidered tunic has a band of metal armor at the hips, which comes to a V in the front and back. She has metal armor on her shoulders and forearm, and the wind is blowing the long dark green cape that is attached at her shoulders. She is holding a sword in her right hand and in her left hand is a round metal object that appears to be giving off a soft blue glow.
The enormous Tree is in the valley below her and there are gigantic arched structures built into the side of it’s trunk. White birds are flying out from the Tree, towards us. A few small structures dot the landscape around the base of the Tree, along with a forest of smaller trees. Beyond the valley, there are rays of the sun casting light on the Tree and the warrior, as the sun emerges from a distant mountain range. There are white clouds moving through a blue sky. Second Image: A stone pathway leads up to tall double doors, built into the side of an enormous tree trunk. The doors are arched and covered in ornate carvings. There are a few small points of light in the doors, giving off a slight blue glow. Rays of sunlight illuminate the path in front of the doors. Third Image: Is a cozy grouping of couches and chairs around a warm fire, under the watchful gaze of a Wolf on the wall. Fourth Image: Pres Trump is wearing a windbreaker, with a sympathetic look on his face as he meets with storm victims in the rain.

For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition from Marcus Warner, titled ‘Deep Blue’:
Visual descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful: Header & Top Image: Is an enormous Tree, fortified with an exo-structure around it’s massive trunk. The structures appear to have multiple stories, running up the expanse of the Tree. Flocks of large white birds are flying around the tree. The blue sky is filled with dense white clouds that give the hint of rain coming. In the distance are a couple of other large trees with similar exo-structures. Second Image: Is a stone path leading up to a door set into an archway. There is an ornate frame around the door, with single pillars on either side and a keystone arch above it. The door has an intricate carved pattern of circular medallions. Dense vegetation surrounds the doorway, including some rambling canes of climbing rose bushes sporting bright red blooms. Third Image: Is a cozy grouping of couches and chairs around a warm fire, under the watchful gaze of a Wolf on the wall. Fourth Image: Is President Trump, facing off with the press curs in a chopper presser. He is momentarily silent, having been gobsmacked by the idiocy of one of their stupid questions.

It’s Caturday.
Having won his fight with the tiger, Emmet was proud of himself:
The Enemedia thinks that we are all easily led:
But most of us see through their lies and mock them:
As well as giving other responses that they deserve:
We are Americans and defiance is in our DNA.
We will fight the ChiCom Media Nozzles and the ChiCom’s Pet Donkeys too…and we will win!
I’ll say this much – the people who actually BELIEVED the Chinese Communist LULLPROP disinformation that “Chinese can’t invent anything” are going to be busy hiding the evidence for the rest of this fourth-generation war, and probably LONG AFTER THAT.
Teaching Americans not to respect our enemy was smart. Teaching Americans to teach that to each other was – dare I say – inventive.
But far more inventive was the new Chinese Virus, a.k.a. Wuhan Coronavirus, a.k.a. COVID-19, a.k.a. ChiCom-19. I shall be using the latter designation, despite the fact that someday we will likely use some captured Chinese military codename for the virus.
I have already talked about this virus as a 4GW (Fourth Generation Warfare) bioweapon HERE:
This is a Twitter thread I just did, which Twitter is WILDLY SUPPRESSING for the ChiComs. Enjoy. W This person’s tweet was in reply to one of mine (see addendum), where I had stated to somebody else that I feared an Italy scenario would have happened in America if Trump had not THWARTED his opponents …
Fourth Generation Warfare (4GW) has many definitions, and I will defer to originator William S. Lind and his followers for the official one. But for me, it can best be described as “radar war”. It is more about direction than magnitude. More about broadcast than visitation. More about “over there” than “right here”. More about “them” than “us”. More about “information” than “mass and energy”.
Here is Wikipedia’s entry for 4GW under “Modern Warfare”. You will see that it’s nothing like mine, but that’s OK. Pick whatever you want.
Fourth generation warfare (4GW) is a concept defined by William S. Lind and expanded by Thomas X. Hammes, used to describe the decentralized nature of modern warfare. The simplest definition includes any war in which one of the major participants is not a state but rather a violent ideological network. Fourth Generation wars are characterized by a blurring of the lines between war and politics, combatants and civilians, conflicts and peace, battlefields and safety.
While this term is similar to terrorism and asymmetric warfare, it is much narrower. Classical insurgencies and the Indian Wars are examples of pre-modern wars, not 4GW. Fourth generation warfare usually has the insurgency group or non-state side trying to implement their own government or reestablish an old government over the one currently running the territory. The blurring of lines between state and non-state is further complicated in a democracy by the power of the media.
4GW is what the ChiComs do by nature, which Trump and Flynn understood, and which is why China had to try to stop them, using China’s 4GW assets all over the planet.
4GW is all about ASYMMETRY, or rather what everybody on this planet calls asymmetry, which is, to some extent, WRONG. What they really mean is a KIND of symmetry which involves small things balancing large things.
O_O and o_o have a certain symmetry that most people call symmetry.
o _ O and O _ o also have a certain symmetry, but everybody calls this “asymmetry”. WHATEVER.
I mean more like the second case, where there are “more apparent and more significant structurally balancing inequalities”.
A 4GW bioweapon isn’t going to be stupid like a nuke. The reason we HAVE 4GW is because of the stupidity of nukes. No – a 4GW bioweapon is likely to be rather unexpected. It may have MINIMAL biological effects, to HIDE its threat, and to allow plausible deniability, but at the same time, it may have devastating ORTHOGONAL EFFECTS.
You see what I’m sayin’? It might be VERY smart – even INVENTIVE.
Now, let me get straight to the point.
Tonight, watching a PBS special presentation of NOVA – actually a very old one – I suddenly realized that the ChiCom-19 virus isn’t just any old 4GW bioweapon – smart and inventive as that may be.
No – it’s designed to be the CENTERPIECE of a very cunning type of radiative warfare that we have never seen before.
I then realized that the ChiComs KNEW that the first historically significant use of a bioweapon could not be some crude bullshit like a terrorist attack. It had to be something completely new and unseen – JUST LIKE THE WEAPON ITSELF.
The PBS special was about the 2011 Japan tsunami that took out a significant part of Japan’s northeastern shoreline. And as I watched the program – both the graphics of the tsunami waves racing across the Pacific, and the very peculiarly non-obvious and victim-surprising dangers of the tsunami – I realized that the ChiCom-19 battle plan was build on the principle of a tsunami.
I even watched the wave race out and strike Hawaii – where there were NO DEATHS due to “over-reaction” by local officials, and realized what in the heck Mike DeWine was doing.
ASYMMETRIC DEFENSE.
Which is why old-school thinkers like Bill Mitchell – who try to linearize everything – are the SUPPORTERS, and guys like Trump and DeWine are the LEADERS. They see the idea of “balancing asymmetries”. And they see it pretty damn fast. Before I did.
FACE IT. Whoever came up with this Rommel-level attack is INVENTIVE AS HELL. I think we’ll be reading about him or her in MILITARY HISTORY BOOKS.
So now, let me explain – in much greater detail – exactly HOW this thing is modeled after a tsunami.
Let’s start off with something called THE TRUMP DOCTRINE.
Here is the SUNDANCE VERSION, which I think is a GREAT defintion:
Here is my version, which is pretty much the same thing, but coming at it from more of an enforcement standpoint.
And here, I’m being very specific to the case at hand.
The Chinese communists bitterly reject the Trump doctrine. It’s not hard to see why. Their FAKE, non-popular, elitist, broken version of feudalist socialism is built on dishonor, deception, and evasion of responsibility.
Generally speaking, the Chinese prefer to commit their crimes utterly unseen, but if not that, than at least unrecognized as a crime.
SO – how do you attack America with a biological weapon without being seen? Well, that’s actually pretty dangerous. In the end, an attack WILL be surmised, and it will be recognized as an act of war. So in this case, UNRECOGNIZED beats UNSEEN.
THIS is where the interesting symmetry of the tsunami comes in.
Tsunamis aren’t really tsunamis where they START – they’re EARTHQUAKES under the SEA.
Where the tsunami STARTS, it’s just a change in the level of the seawater, suddenly rising or falling a small height over a vast area.
From roughly the point of origin, a VERY interesting wave takes off in all directions. Now it may not look like what is shown above, but that’s the basic idea – a WAVE STARTS and TRAVELS OUTWARD at a very high rate of speed.
The thing is, that wave doesn’t cause a lot of damage. NOT AT FIRST.
In fact, until such a wave approaches land, it’s entirely survivable by boats. Here is the 2011 tsunami when it was actually very close to the Japanese shoreline.
These people unaffected by the tsunami are a lot like the asymptomatic carriers and “normal, young, healthy people” who experience ChiCom-19 either not at all, or like a mild case of the flu. For them, a tsunami simply “isn’t that bad”. Same with people farther inland. THEY THEMSELVES do not actually experience the devastating effects of the tsunami ON THEIR OWN BODIES.
In other words, they live. They may experience SOCIETAL EFFECTS, but they themselves survive.
Tsunamis only cause a lot of damage in specific places. To be honest, they don’t even LOOK as dangerous as a hurricane or a tornado. Not until the last minute. But the thing is, in the places where tsunamis DO cause a lot of damage – spread out widely from the point of origin – they cause a LOT of damage.
In the places where the tsunami hits, any people who can’t get away by SOME act of getting to higher ground, are basically screwed.
All of this – ALL of this – is perfectly analogous to what ChiCom-19 does.
Tsunamis don’t strike with the same intensity everywhere, and they strike at very odd times. None of it is linear. Because the waves change speeds, heights, and directions – following streets, rivers, lowlands, breachable obstructions, and other features they encounter, they can CHANGE dramatically.
Tsunami waves, when they finally reach their target, can be dangerously deep and murderous in some places, and defensible in others very closeby.
What is basically DAMAGELESS in one community can DESTROY another next to it.
In many ways, NURSING HOMES are the “seashore communities” of ChiCom-19. And it only takes ONE OR TWO SPREADERS to DEVASTATE THEM – just like a too-low seawall, or a bay feature, or a RIVER, was all that was necessary for the Sendai tsunami to destroy a village.
10,000 people died in one village in Japan – over a third of the total victims. How do we know that we would not have a city like that – somehow utterly unprepared for ChiCom-19?
What a beautifully sinister way to wreak destruction upon a foe. A CRIME with no apparent PERPETRATOR – just the FIRST VICTIMS in the country with the CRIMINAL government.
In Germany, those first victims – good German citizens betrayed by their criminal Nazi government – were killed just as cruelly as the first victims of ChiCom-19.
Just as a tsunami eventually impacts many things besides seashore communities, including the national economy, so the ChiCom-19 tsunami battle plan was designed as a form of economic warfare.
Just as the Japan earthquake created a tsunami that caused a reactor meltdown, almost destroying the Japanese nuclear industry, so the Chinese “rebellion-stopping internal virus release” created a viral pandemic designed to strike hospital intensive care units around the world – but particularly in the United States, where it threatened to destroy our healthcare industry, just recovering from the Stalinist and Maoist inefficiencies of Obamacare, so it might be forced BACK into socialized medical FAILURE.
The whole point is that China KNEW what it was doing. It KNEW what the virus was. It LIED about the virus to give it TIME to get to its destinations BEFORE people could react properly.
I could go on, but there’s no need. I’m going to let you readers have some fun spotting more shocking analogies.
Just read some articles and watch some videos about tsunamis.
Maybe look at some OTHER tsunamis.
You will see – this virus was given the characteristics, the circumstances, AND the ASSISTANCE needed for it to STRIKE America just like a tsunami.
So what’s happening now?
As far as I’m concerned, whatever our Commander In Chief wants to tell us.
