The Cockroach in the Front Yard

I've written about these assholes of the neighbourhood already once: Drunkards, lowlife losers, drug-addicts, thugs, you name it. I'm no perfect person but I have limitations and boundaries. If you have no red line that you believe you shall not cross at any cost, then you would do anything to achieve your goal and that's not too far to break a law. That's how I look at the things. 
With that in mind, we have this ugly loser whom I've written about earlier but I'd like to say about another encounter with this beauty queen! This ignorant retard is from Cosenza in southern Italy. For those how don't know, there's a big difference between the center and north of Italy and its south, including Sicily. That is why you see the majority or all the Italians who migrated to the US, in the 50's and earlier are from the south or mostly from Sicily.  I'm going to Italy this year, for the first time but my focus would be on north but from what I've read and heard about the south, including Cosenza, it is a poor region. I had a buddy here in Alberta who went back and now he lives there in his parents house. He worked as a painter here and told me once that he never had a chance to go to a school because he always had to work. I had this plan to go to Italy back in 2021 and he sent me a list of the things he wanted me to buy for him after telling me that I could stay with him and his Mom who was alive at the time. It was really funny:

• White Socks!
• Some sort of Vitamin (I don't remember what the hell it was)!
• Some other odd and ridiculous thing! 

He always complained about his life and everything related to it. He used to say that a friend of his lived and worked in a Pizza Shop (or owned it) in Ontario and then added: " I don't know how to make Pizza "! Or he said once that their home in Italy did not even have a stove! I don't know how they cooked and ate but I assume it was on an open fire. 

Now that you know how southern Italy is, a little bit, I go back to the Beauty Queen! She bragged about how his father was a business owner while she shopped at filthy stinking toilets such as Dollarama and Wal-Toilet-Mart! Despite the fact that, I think, she was looking for someone to satisfy her with her basic biological needs at the age of 62, and I've told that story, once we were talking, she kept saying " I don't work at the moment "! I don't know what she expected me to do for her! Hand her some cash? Bring her food?! You look like a healthy woman. Go get a freaking job anywhere in the city. You only have to overcome your biggest and most disgusting habit of being lazy. You can't do anything about the fact that you're a cheap, idiot. That's how your brain has been developed but you can stop being lazy and work. In this case you don't have to beg people for money. Then one day he said his Dad had passed away and he left her and her siblings some money. That was a big chunk in a way that she could pay her mortgage off! I don't know if you can do that. Most of the banks have regulations which prevent you from doing so as that is how they make money. You pay interest. Her begging and disgusting nasty behaviour did not stop there because once an animal is a filthy, nasty one, she most likely remains a filthy and nasty one. This time she started to convince me that I needed a major change to my yard to make it look better. I denied that. I simply did not want to spend any money. Then one day I came home and saw changes to the yard. It was not bad but it was unnecessary. I messaged her and thanked her. She demanded money! And I said to myself: Are you kidding me?! I'm not going to give you even a single Penny! First of all no one asked you to do so. You ain't even supposed to go to someone else's yard without their permission. Do I have to get a restraining order?! Secondly, You should've asked and negotiated the cost! Screw you. 

She barely talks to me after this which I'm thankful for. I'm just waiting for an opportunity to get the hell out of this shitty neighbourhood but I don't want to rush it. I will look for a bigger and nicer place within a better neighbourhood with less drunkards, drug-addicts, deadbeats, child-abusers, wife-beaters and mentally disturbed individuals! Seems to be a very hard task to accomplish but not impossible. I need to sell this place first.

XRF and Litvinenko

I was reading about this recent conflict in western Asia (not Middle East which the average stupid, ignorant, calls it!) and it somehow was redirected to the role of Russia and then how the Russian government kills, assassinates (same thing!), silences and kidnaps or exiles its opponents and critics. The story continued with the strange death of a former FSB * officer, Alexander Litvinenko in Britain back in 2006 and then pointed at a scientific fact which I had read about during my XRF certification studies. I think it would be interesting to say it here:
XRF is a method (an NDE) of analyzing the elements of a material and their percentage: What a material is composed of and what percentage of each element could have a significant effect on its characteristics and performance. For example Nickel (Ni) is added to Steel to prevent oxidation. This is generally between 8 and 10 percent. If a corrosion-resistance material is ordered and does not have MTR or the provided one does not look authentic, XRF comes to assist to see whether the right amount of Ni exists or not. 
Next I briefly discuss how is XRF generated. XRF is generated by the way of radiation. We need to know what ionization means so then we get to these two types of radiation:

• Ionizing radiation.
• Non-ionizing radiation.

Ionization happens when an atom loses or receives an electron. It's a negative ion if it receives an electron, of course, and it's a positive ion if it loses an electron. With that in mind, it is needed to say that non-ionizing radiation, although could cause burns, is not so harmful to the body. Examples of non-ionizing radiation would be light, cosmic light, microwaves and radio waves. Ionizing radiation, on the other hand, could be quite dangerous. In order to see the level of risk when exposed to such radiation, first we need to understand the different types of ionizing radiation. They are:

• Alpha particles (α),

• Beta particles (β),

• Neutron particles, and

• X-Ray or Gamma Ray.

This diagram shows how different types of ionizing radiation travel and how they could be stopped

Describing what kind of radiation each of the above ones are, helps to get closer to the answer:

Alpha particles consist of two Protons and two Neutrons. For that they have +2 charge and they are heavy. It means that it cannot travel more than 1 to 2 inches (25.4 to 50,8 mm) in the air, lose most of their energy and stop after that distance is reached. Alpha particles could be stopped by a piece of paper or the outer layer of skin but if they are inhaled or ingested, they could be harmful and detrimental. 

Beta particles have higher energy and travel faster because they are lighter. They have a negative charge and  travel up to 10 feet (a little more than 3 meters). They also are emitted from the nucleus of certain radioactive atoms. They could be stopped by a layer of a few millimeters of plastic, glass or metal foil.

Neutron particles are the next strong ionizing particles but we're not going further. 

When Litvinenko was first hospitalized, he showed some early symptoms of food poisoning:

• Nausea and vomiting,

• Extreme fatigue and weakness,

• Diarrhea,

• Headache and confusion,

When the illness progresses, other signs start to emerge after a week:

• Immune system failure. At this stage a rapid drop in White Blood Cells leads to the body being completely vulnerable.
  Increase risk of internal and external bleeding. This is due to loss of platelets. Platelet helps with clothing. 
  Hair loss. This also starts to happen despite the fact that Alpha particles do not affect the victims through the skin. This was seen in Litvinenko's appearance. A symptom completely different from food poisoning. That baffled the physicians at the time.  

The severity of these symptoms depends heavily on the dose but how Alpha particles reached Litvinenko's body is the next question. Polonium 210 which is the source of Alpha particles radiation is assumed to be brought to the country (Britain) easily by a Russian assassin. It could be simply put in checked-in baggage, wrapped in a piece of paper. There would be no way to detect that and no harm to anyone, neither the assassin nor the security personnel in Russia and Britain. Then slipped into his beverage or food and waited for the slow but effective reaction. First signs of food poisoning, as described above and then other signs and symptoms which refute the theory of food poisoning. He was gone by the end of the third week. 

The above theory is what was concluded after autopsy had been performed and investigations had taken place but no one was ever charged and prosecuted for this crime. 

X-Ray radiation which is the fundamentals of XRF has more energy, travels faster and longer. We leave it here because we just wanted to see the way that the former agent was assassinated scientifically. The part that does not make me angry with the Russian Government and whoever pulled this off is once you work for one side and you go to another side, you betray your country and you automatically are a traitor. Traitors deserve death and in this case a very painful death. He deserve it more than Robert Levinson did. He only acted as an spy, he was not a traitor.

* FSB is the Federal Security Service organization of the Russian Federation which has its root in KGB of the Soviet time.

The Sudden Jump

I went to get some gasoline on my way home from work yesterday and I got shocked! I knew the prices had gone up but I didn't expect $1.66 for a damn litter! It's in the news that the Strait of Hormuz in Persian Gulf where most of the oil and some other commodities have to pass through is chocked and that has resulted in this spike.

This picture taken from the south of the Persian Gulf, not the Iranian coast shows an UAE small warship escorting a commercial container ship at the Strait of Hormuz. This waterway has a width of 33 to 39 km.

Trump, as part of his confusion and the fact that now he doesn't know his right hand from left(!) has asked the European allies to help him to once again make the shipping possible through that waterway but the so-called NATO allies have said it was not their war! He's pissed now and has threatened to leave NATO!

I went to the port city of Mahshahr on the shores of the Persian Gulf just a few years before my immigration but have never traveled as far as that. I hope one day one the area is peaceful I can go and see this part of Iran.

The 1986 Bombing of Libya

How many nations have been attacked by the United States attacked, say, in the past 50 years alone? Should we count?! I think we shall see why they do that first. There're a number of reasons for that:

1) When the Second European War, which some like to call it the Second World War!, ended (We'll get to that in another post) in 1945, most of Europe had been turned to ruble. It was the US that assisted them with the Marshal Plan to rebuild their countries and make it back to Europe. The Marshall Plan was a sort of financial assistance which helped the devastated countries to get back on their feet. The US ,then, thought: Why don't we do more of this around the world?! We can make more money! We encourage the nations to fight each other. We not only sell, at times to both sides, weapons, but also will help them to rebuild their countries through long-term and tedious loans, after the war ends! 

2) Oliver Stone once said in one of its movies that war is an $B 80 industry in the US. It shall be ongoing to keep the wheels of the economy rolling. There're barely any other businesses in the US which could generate that much revenue. Perhaps it's correct to say there's none! Automobiles?! Except for Tesla which has made significant progress in the past few years, the other American automakers are doomed. Not to mention that Tesla's joy of sitting on the top seems to be ending soon when the flow of Chinese EVs is directed to North America and Europe. Aircraft. Not bad but Boeing had a major issue 

3) American society is a troubled one. More than many countries that you can imagine. Despite being known as the Land of Opportunities or the Land of Plenty, there are lots of issues in its fabric. Racial tensions, drugs, unemployment, homelessness, political division, you name it. It's not that other countries do not have these problems. War helps the governments to conceal the internal issues and distract the public. 

The Jeffry Epstein scandal has many worries that sooner or later they might get exposed and have to face the trail. The disgraced Royal Family is for sure one of them although this is not the first time they face humiliation and shame. The so-called Prices of Wales used to sleep with every Tom, Dick and Harry while she was married to the then Prince Charles! Now the son of the past Queen has been stripped of his title and shamed, although these animals are so filthy that they don't feel ashamed! It also seems that many other people were his associates and they're afraid that the truth will be told. What's better than a war with all American propaganda to make people forget about that?! 

The Plaque about the F-117's mission in the town of Tonopah in Nevada. I took this during my first visit 

With that said, we go back to 1986, almost 40 years ago because it was in April of that year when Ronald Reagan ordered Operation El Dorado Canyon after the Congress had been consulted and practices had taken place. This operation ordered American bombers fly from for missions over The Madman of Mediterranean's country, Libya! That was the nickname Reagan had given Qaddafi. The interesting thing is neither of the countries on the north side of the sea allowed American planes to use their air space! That resulted in extra fuel and longer mission time. The operation was in retaliation of the recent terrorist and terrorist supporting activities of Libya in Europe and everywhere else and was considered quite successful. The Americans lost only one plane which resulted in two casualties and despite the success, Qaddafi remained in power. This, as the date shows, was way before the operations in Iraq and the US did not have any plans to use ground forces.One of the interesting things about this operation was the fact that the US Air Force intended to use F-117 Stealth jets for the first time but the decision was changed and they did not appear in the skies until Operation Desert Storm (Or as the Iraqis called it at the time Operation Westerrn Bandits in Arabian Desert which was a stupid but funny name change!). The F-117s were stationed in Tonopah at the time and they were kept there secretly for another few years. Another proof that war is a big business in the US!

Dazed and Confused

The war against Iran has entered its third week and all sides are dazed and confused. Some more than the others! I'm against every war but if someone imposes on you, you need to defend yourself. That is your right. Here are the different sides of this useless war:

1) The criminals of the US Government, led by the crazy Donald J. Trump and his pets. I must add that I have nothing against the American people and the great country of the US. I admire its strength and its beauty but I condemn the brutality of its criminals against humanity, particularly in the recent war against Iran.

2) The Government of Israel. These people need no introduction to the world. When concert goers were attacked in Israel in Oct.07.2023, I developed a sense of disgust and dislike against the so-called terrorists. The real terrorist and war criminals showed themselves soon after: Killing innocent children, elderly and women, shooting aid workers, killing the journalists who reveal the war crimes, bombing schools and hospitals, blocking the flow of food, looting homes and blowing up buildings. 

3) The desperate people of Iran, many delusional, thinking the war against their own country would do anything good! Now they regret they had wished for that! Be careful with what you wish for, punk! Remember this line?! If anything should happen to the criminals of Islamic Republic of Iran, it must start from the inside. It takes time. The fall of the Pahlavi era took place after 37 years of dictatorship and only after several factors were in place: The West wanted the King to go. People were duped that he's no good and an Islamic system shall be replaced and some other factors. Those factors do not exist in today's Iran's society.

This map shows the spots that either Iran or his proxy groups have already targeted as well as the targets in Iran hit by the US and Israeli forces.

4) The disgraced, foolish and phony Crown Prince Reza! This guy is quite a character! He enjoyed the money that his family stole, when they fled Iran in 1979 and hibernated all these years. This guy and his family have not worked a single day in their lives and that's almost 48 years! All of a sudden there's an opportunity to take power, he's political! Travelling to Israel, meeting with the Clown of Kiev, giving speeches! The funny thing is even the crazy Donald (Credited from Joe Davola of Seinfeld!) he doesn't think he's the one who could be a good choice and now with this conflict taking much longer than everyone anticipated, he has lost most of his credibility because he was the one who said he would tell the people when to come out to take control!! The answer is not too soon, apparently! 

5) The insider supporters of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Every regime has people who support them, no matter what. They are given perks, government positions, you name it. They will always be there. Some desert. 

6) The proxy groups. They are all over Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon and other places. Their major hide out, Syria was taken from them when Assad's regime fell. They're still active but they have suffered a major blow. 

Everyone is dazed and confused now! What will happen? Trump sends mixed messages, as usual! You can never rely on what someone like him says! I bet neither him nor any of his pets and his biggest protege expected Iran to stand for so long. This war, like any other one, without a doubt, has nothing but waste and destruction but for the US is also millions and millions of dollars of cost, the pressure from the public, the Congress pressure and inner party and between the parties debates. The US has the experience of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. They should really be very silly to start another one!

Weird Foods (1)

  I'm going to start a series of posts under the title " Weird Foods ", today. This, hopefully covers the processed foods which are:

1) Harmful to the environment!

2) Harmful to the human body. Should come with a Health Hazard Warning!

3) Unnecessarily and unreasonably overpriced.

I must add that in North American societies and perhaps the other version of that, the Western European and most recently other societies of the world, creating revenue justifies doing anything. 
This first post is about a product from The Real Canadian Superasshole! It is called Naan Dippers! So what is it? It's a few pieces of flat bread made out of White Flour, in a plastic box and has 200 grams weight. It is sold for $4.99!!
Let me explain what it is and prove to you that The Real Canadian Superasshole's owners are nothing but a bunch of nasty animals and so is the Government of Canada. Naan in a few languages in western Asia means bread. What these filthy, disgusting animals mean by using a foreign language world and writing it with the English alphabet without having a translation of that, is beyond me! Then we go to the product itself: 200 g. of White Bread for $4.99!! You must be either a retard or born with some sort of mental issue to pay that!  
Here is the logic behind this and I admire it. These grocery stores lose thousands of dollars every month due to unsold, expired, rotten or stolen items. They need to compensate for that to be able to stay competitive. That is why they use dolts and blockheads as there's always an idiot who pays for shit. So here is a good example: a few grams of cheap White Flour, a little water and other ingredients and a few minutes turns to $4.99 product. What is the cost: Considering everything, not more than $2! However, you created a product which despite the fact that it generates revenue, it is harmful to the human body and to the environment. That little plastic box will not decompose for the next few thousand years. It's just another thing in the landfill. 
These people deserve a trial and a life imprisonment and the product shall be discontinued. Do you know how many different types of similar products exist in just The Real Canadian Superasshole?! And the asshole disgusting " Crap "ney called Canada " Environmentally Friendly "! What a piece of shit!

The President of Peace

Trump has started something that despite all the nonsense that his pets (Hegseth, Rubio and Leavitt) bark, has caused confusion not only for everyone around him, as usual(!) but also for himself! I, always among a few who thought that if he was selected, he would make a good president, particularly because of the way he went after Biden and the mess that he created in Afghanistan, leaving billions of dollars worth of equipment there. He criticized the 20 years of the waste by the previous administrations and called himself " The President of Peace "! He promised to end the war in Ukraine! Every idiot, including The Clown of Kiev believed him! You have to think about what people say and look who's talking! 

The 14-month grandchild of Khamenei was killed during the bombing of the Supreme Leader's Compound. Was she evil too?! What has been gained now? The son of the Supreme Leader has become the Supreme Leader, you idiots! You did nothing! 

Remember what Led Zeppelin says in " Dazed and Confused "? " Lots of people talk and a few of them know "! How could you stop a war after three years (the time Trump was elected president) without talking to both sides and see what they want?!

" The President of Peace " is now in shit! He thought Iran would give up after a few bombs are dropped. He knows that there's no way that they can deploy ground forces! His growling pet, Hegseth knows that too. They have learnt their lessons in Iraq and Afghanistan. They just bullshit and trying to get themselves out in the least humiliating way possible. 

If there was a fair international tribunal all these fake democracy and phony guys would be tried for their war crimes, killing innocent civilians including many children. There's no fair trail in the world, unfortunately and the United Nation is as worthless of a piece of cow dong and these people have no shame. Now he's saying the war is about to end and Cuba is next! That is " The President of Peace "! Here is the great George Orwell says about these wars which have all started by the West or have the West's benefit in them: " The War is not meant to be won. It is meant to be continuous ".

(Photo, top: An Elementary School for girls in Minab, a town on the edge of Persian Gulf, was destroyed by American missiles and more than 160 people, mainly female young students were killed! This is one of many very precise attacks that Pete Dogshit is very proud of!)

An Ideology is not Killed by a Killing

This recent attack on Iran was very unexpected but i think Iranians were tricked for the second time. The same thing happened last summer. Negotiation was going on between the Iranian and American officials and all of a sudden the air strikes happened. So did it this time. I was all distracted by the State of the Union and then the negotiations in Oman and then Switzerland and all of a sudden I heard on the news that the Americans and Israelis were attacked again! That's a dirty trick. 
What was more surprising to me was the fact that the Supreme Leader was not able to dodge Israeli attacks! There's no doubt that the intelligence system of Israel and the US is strong but could he not hide?! Were his security personnel predicting this?! What a bunch of ignorant and incompetent morons who only are able to kill innocent peaceful protesters!

Nevertheless we shall wait to see what this conflict leads to but one thing is certain: You cannot kill an ideology by killing a few people. Early celebration is ignorance. Look at the Taliban: The Americans were in Afghanistan for 20 years. They killed the Taliban's leader. Where is Afghanistan now? Back to the 15th century! Primitive and backward as always! Killing the supreme leader and the military commanders has certainly its effects but it's not the end of the story.
