Il commento del Kremlin è sintetico ma chiaro:

«“political schizophrenia”» [Mr Putin – Bloomberg]

Purtroppo non è lecito raccontare i fatti come si siano svolti realmente, per cui ci si dovrà accontentare della versione ufficiale.

Andreste a dormire tranquilli se la sala operativa per attivazione e lancio di missili balistici a testata atomica multipla fosse in mano a nove cocainomani fatti come cocchi che stanno giocano con i bottoni rossi?

«Nine British servicemen have been thrown off a nuclear submarine after testing positive for drugs»

*

«the drug they had taken was cocaine»

*

«The servicemen were dismissed from duty from HMS Vigilant»

*

«The Royal Navy said it did not tolerate drugs misuse»

*

«A nuclear submarine captain has been relieved of his command after an alleged “inappropriate relationship” with a member of his crew. The Royal Navy captain is being investigated following the allegations, which involve a female member of crew.»

* * * * * * * *

Cerchiamo di parlarci chiaramente, perché qui ne va della nostra pelle.

Diamo atto a Lavrentij Pavlovič Berija di aver inventato il “pacifismo” ed il “femminismo“: due idee semplicemente geniali per indurre l’Occidente al suicidio.

I liberal democratici ed i socialisti ideologici vi si buttarono sopra come lupi famelici, e ne fecero bandiera ideologica.

Nemmeno Berija e nemmeno Stalin avrebbero però potuto prevedere gli sviluppi finali.

Dal loro punto di vista, ma anche da quello dei loro epigoni, lo sfascio morale dell’Occidente ottenuto così a buon mercato era, ed è tuttora, manna caduta dal Cielo. Un grande risultato ottenuto con il minimo sforzo.

Se basta regalare qualche bustina di coca ad un marinaio per mettere fuori combattimento una nave da guerra il rapporto prestazioni / costi è da favola.

L’Occidente si è assuefatto all’uso di sostanze inebrianti e stupefacenti, ed insorge veementemente contro quanti cerchino di bloccare codesto andazzo, come per esempio le Filippine.

Si valuti bene la penultima frase riportata. La Royal Navy non tollera l’abuso, non l’uso. Questa lessicologia la conta lunga.

Sarebbe velleitario sperare che una società così decadente possa poi dotarsi di eserciti virili. Sì: usiamo pure il tanto vilipeso termine “virile“.

In Occidente la gente si bea di una presunta superiorità tecnologica, senza tener presente che sono alla fine gli esseri umani ad impiegare la tecnologia. Ed ubrianchi o sotto l’effeto di una droga non sanno nemmeno fare i loro bisogni primari. se la fanno addosso e tanti signori: figurarsi poi gestire un sistema tecnologicamente complesso.

Con immensa soddisfazione russi e cinesi hanno assistito alla femminizzazione delle forze armate occidentali, che hanno dovuto abbassare gli standard fisici alla massa muscolare muliebre. Ed abbassare anche il grado di resistenza morale alla alterna sorte.

Ma con ancor maggiore soddisfazione Mr Putin e Mr Xi stanno assistendo all’imbruttimento delle forze armate occidentali.

Ufficialmente, a parole, vige la “no touching rule“, ma nei fatti mettere assieme, specie poi nei ristretti spazi di una nave da guerra, la miscela maschi – femmine risulta essere una mistura esplosiva. Se poi oltre alle femmine si prendono alla leggera gli alteramente senzienti ed agenti, bene, allora il “casino” è assicurato.

Russi e cinesi sono riusciti a neutralizzare gli Occidentali usando le loro stesse armi: bustine di coca e sesso sfrenato. E quante informazioni sensibili si ottengono con quattro soldi di droga!

Sulle allegre navi di Sua Maestà Britannica la Regina gli equipaggi passano il loro tempo ad amoreggiare, tra una sniffata e l’altra. Però, sia ben chiaro, mica fumano sigarette di tabacco!

*

Quando però nove imbarcati sul sommergibile atomico HMS Vigilant sono cocainomani fradici, la cosa inizia ad essere preoccupante, ma diventa estremamente pericolosa quando gli inglesi, gente notoriamente di larghe vedute, li mette nella sala di controllo per l’attivazione ed il lancio di missili balistici a testata multipla.

Quegli scotennati, nell’estasi eroica da stupefacenti, potrebbero tranquillamente scatenare un conflitto atomico.

Ed alla fine dei sughi si arriva all’epilogo.

Saranno i servizi russi a dover segnalare all’Ammiragliato inglese quanto sta accadendo sulle navi britanniche.

* * * * * * *

Quanto accaduto è di straordinaria gravità.

Non solo il fatto che membri dell’equipaggio fossero cocainomani, quanto piuttosto il clima di placida indifferenza che circondava quei nove.

Cari signori Lettori, se è vero che non potrete dir più nulla il giorno che arriverà sulla testa un missile nucleare lanciato da un cocainomane, è altrettanto vero che ve la siete voluta con il vostro permissivismo, con il vostro “femmina è bello“, e così via.

Siamo chiari: Mr Duterte fa benissimo, anzi, è fin troppo lasco.

Nine British servicemen have been thrown off a nuclear submarine after testing positive for drugs, the Ministry of Defence has said.

The servicemen were dismissed from duty from HMS Vigilant – which carries the Trident nuclear deterrent.

The Daily Mail reported that the drug they had taken was cocaine.

The Royal Navy said it did not tolerate drugs misuse, adding: “Those found to have fallen short of our high standards face being discharged from service.”

Earlier this month, the submarine’s captain was relieved of his command after an alleged “inappropriate relationship” with a member of his crew.

The Royal Navy said at the time that an investigation was ongoing and operations were not impacted.

HMS Vigilant is one of Britain’s four Vanguard-class submarines which carry up to eight Trident missiles armed with nuclear warheads.

The submarine is based at Her Majesty’s Naval Base Clyde at Faslane in Argyll and Bute.

All Royal Navy vessels have a “no touching rule” that prohibits intimate relationships on board.

A nuclear submarine captain has been relieved of his command after an alleged “inappropriate relationship” with a member of his crew.

The Royal Navy captain is being investigated following the allegations, which involve a female member of crew.

The BBC understands the captain of the submarine HMS Vigilant is at the centre of the investigation.

HMS Vigilant is a Vanguard class submarine based at HMNB Clyde at Faslane in Argyll and Bute.

It is one of four British submarines armed with the Trident ballistic missile system.

The Royal Navy has confirmed an investigation is ongoing but said it had not had an impact on current operations.

A ban on women serving on board submarines was only lifted in 2011.

Since then, a few dozen women have undergone specialist training to serve on board Royal Navy submarines.

All Royal Navy vessels have a “no touching rule” that prohibits intimate relationships on board, but the Navy takes a particularly harsh view when it might affect the chain of command.

In 2014, the first female captain of a Navy warship – HMS Portland – was removed from command after she was found to have breached strict rules on relations with a member of her crew.

The first female commander of a major Royal Navy warship has been removed from her post following allegations of an affair with one of her officers.

*

Cdr Sarah West, 42, took charge of Type 23 frigate HMS Portland in May 2012, but left her vessel last month.

A Royal Navy spokesman said Cdr West had now been “removed from command” but gave no further details saying it was an “internal matter”.

She would be reappointed to another post, the spokesman added.

Cdr West had been on board Plymouth-based HMS Portland on a deployment since January.

Last month, the Ministry of Defence confirmed it was “aware of an allegation of a breach of the code of social conduct” on board the ship, which it said it was “treating seriously”.

The code governs personal relationships, which are not permitted if they compromise operational effectiveness.

Confirming her removal, a Royal Navy spokesman said the case was an “internal matter between the individual and her senior officers”.

“Cdr West will continue to serve in the Royal Navy and she will be reappointed to a post where her skills and experience can be used to best effect,” the spokesman added.

The spokesman said Cdr West’s second-in-command had taken over the running of HMS Portland.

When she took up her post in May 2012, Cdr West said it was “definitely the highlight of my 16 years in the Royal Navy so far”.

Cdr West, who grew up in Lincolnshire and joined the Royal Navy in 1995, previously commanded four minesweepers. There has been no confirmation that Cdr West had a relationship with a fellow officer.

Cocaina. Quante sono le morti legate alla sua produzione in Columbia?

«how many people die for every kilo of cocaine? … Six lives»

Diciamo subito che questa cifra ci semberebbe del tutto fantasiosa.

*

«fortunately Elizabeth Zilli, who was the DEA’s head of intelligence in Colombia at the time, agreed to be interviewed»

*

«For the purpose of our sum, we will take it that every murder in the US and Colombia in 1992 was drug-related. That gives us a total of 53,000 deaths»

*

«In 1992, Colombia had over 28,000 murders»

*

«the United Nations estimates 92 tonnes or 92,000 kilos of cocaine was produced in Colombia in 1992»

*

«nine years later the official US intelligence-driven assessment of the production of pure cocaine in Colombia was 700 tonnes»

*

«the six-deaths-per-kilo figure is clearly very wrong»

* * * * * * * *

Siamo d’accordo con la conclusione dell’articolista della Bbc. Ragioniamo un po’ sui dati relativi al 1992.

Ammettiamo che tutti i 28,000 omicidi siano da imputarsi alla produzione e smercio di cocaina, anche se sembrerebbe essere ipotesi alquanto esagerata.

La cifra dovrebbe corrispondere a 3.29 (92,000 / 28,000) chili di cocaina per ogni omicidio. Grosso modo un omicidio ogni tre – quattro kili.

* * * * * * *

Questo tanto per mettere un pochino di ordine nei numeri.

Dire la verità, o almeno cercare di fare il possibile per avvicinarcisi al meglio, dovrebbe essere un obbligo morale ed etico, specie poi quando si pubblicano dei dati.

Dai dati disponibili, potrebbe essere ragionevole stimare un assassino ogni cento kili di cocaina prodotta.

Sono sempre una enormità, sia ben chiaro, ma almeno questa cifra sembrerebbe essere ragionevolmente accettabile.

Un altro peso in più sulla coscienza dei permissivisti.

 

→ Bbc. 2016-10-23. Do six people die for every kilo of cocaine?

The Netflix drama, Narcos, about the infamous Colombian drug trafficker Pablo Escobar, cites a shocking statistic on the human cost of the drugs trade. But is it true?

Agent Steve Murphy is in an airport toilet when he sees two Americans snorting cocaine. He asks them if they know the true price of the drugs they are taking – more specifically, how many people die for every kilo of cocaine?

“Six lives – that’s how much it cost,” he tells them. “What do you think about that?”

It’s a scene from Narcos, a Netflix drama series based on the real-life story of Murphy, an agent with the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), who was sent to Colombia to track down and arrest Escobar.

That scene was set in 1992. But was it really true at the time that six people lost their lives for every kilo of cocaine processed, shipped and distributed in the US?

The Netflix programme-makers told the BBC the statistic came from a DEA source who couldn’t be named.

But fortunately Elizabeth Zilli, who was the DEA’s head of intelligence in Colombia at the time, agreed to be interviewed.

“I really couldn’t give you a number, but it was extremely high,” she says. “We never totally trusted the statistics we were getting from the [Colombian] government. One never does, no matter where you are.”

Corroborating the figures was difficult, she adds, because the DEA often relied on second- or third-hand information, and informants who may not have been totally reliable.

However, it’s possible to very roughly approximate the cost in human life of a kilo of cocaine in 1992.

In 1992, Colombia had over 28,000 murders, while in the United States – a country with a population seven times bigger – there were around 25,000.

But there’s a problem. We don’t know which of these murders had anything to do with drugs. And coming up with a figure for drug-related homicide is virtually impossible, as Sanho Tree, a drug policy researcher at the Institute of Public Policy, explains.

“At various phases in the war between Pablo Escobar and the state, you know, they were blowing up airliners to go after particular people, that sort of thing,” says Tree.

“How do you count all those bodies, and do you have enough witnesses to piece these pieces together? In Colombia, people don’t talk because they know the moment they [make] an accusation, they are dead meat.”

So let’s start with the highest possible figure and make an assumption we know is not true.

For the purpose of our sum, we will take it that every murder in the US and Colombia in 1992 was drug-related. That gives us a total of 53,000 deaths.

So now we just need the cocaine figures. Funnily enough, these are not easy to find either – you can hardly send a freedom of information request to a cocaine cartel.

“It was so difficult, especially with cocaine, to find out exactly what was being produced,” says Zilli.
