"Turkey marks 69 years in NATO with expectations from allies" The Turkish news is reporting on Ankara. The Germans maintain airbases in Anatolia. (February 18, 2021)

"NATO has just under 10,000 troops in the war-ravaged country helping to train and advise the Afghan security forces. Most of them are not U.S. forces, but the allies could not continue the NATO operation if American transport, logistics and other support are withdrawn." France24 is reporting on Kabul. There are defense contractors in Virginia who make a living coordinating military operations with the Pashtun tribesmen. It is possible that the Pashtun tribesmen are not reliable military allies. (February 18, 2021)

"China is now the EU's biggest trading partner, overtaking the US in 2020." The BBC is reporting on Beijing. There have been tank battles in North Korea. It seems like the Germans send weaponry to Pyongyang from Lubeck. Lubeck, Germany serves as a regional hub for naval vessels. (February 18, 2021)

Washington, DC

Why doesn't the carrier fleet do anything?
Because our laser weapons are too expensive and the Chinese military has developed carrier bombs.

I am writing about the navy in the Far East. The newspaper reported in 2010 or so that the Chinese had developed carrier bombs and so American ships had to move farther away from the Chinese mainland. The Pentagon sometimes releases statements about laser weapons mounted on ships. The image is that the ships are not capable generally of military operations in the Pacific. It is because of LASER WEAPONS and CARRIER BOMBS.

The carrier fleet is the Texas carrier fleet, and it seems to be idle because the Virginians are German immigrants. Admiral Nimitz is a famous Texan. It is a mystery why the carrier fleet is ineffective. The Virginians might simply not want to engage the Chinese and so the carrier fleet does not do anything. (February 18, 2021)

It is possible that the bureau and the Chinese police both use German-made police radios. The Virginians are German immigrants, and they work for labor unions.

The issue is whether the undercover agent should collect minimum wage.

Washington, DC

The covert operations desk might think it is their role to defend the Hoover Building from the liberals. It is why they do not pay the undercover agent.

The bureau has a covert operations desk, and they do not want to pay the undercover agent. They think it is not a big deal that the undercover agent does not at least get minimum wage. ["We want the salary to come from someone other than us."] (February 18, 2021)

"The Biden administration faces a conundrum as it rethinks the positioning of military forces around the world: How to focus more on China and Russia without retreating from longstanding Mideast threats - and to make this shift with potentially leaner Pentagon budgets." The Washington Post is reporting on the Pentagon. The laws in Virginia are friendly to labor unions. It might be that the labor unions do not want to oppose Beijing. (February 18, 2021)

It is a paradox: the Virginians are German immigrants and it is not clear what they're doing with the surveillance hardware. They say south but they might mean Germany. They are experts in criminal justice.

Bosnia

"In light of this, Russia called on Kiev to ensure the required level of transparency, which is especially important in the context of the continuing military operation in southeast Ukraine" The Russian news is reporting on Ukraine. Lviv, Ukraine serves as a regional hub for labor unions. (February 18, 2021)

"US Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III has stated at a videoconference of the NATO Defense Ministerial that members of the alliance need to maintain spending on defense to address challenges on the part of Russia, the Pentagon's press service reported on Wednesday." The Russian news is reporting on the Pentagon. The Virginians are German immigrants and they work for labor unions. There might be labor strikes in Virginia that have gone unreported. (February 18, 2021)

"The Bulgarian MEP noted that mutual trust between Bulgaria and the Republic of North Macedonia must be restored." The Bulgarian news is reporting on the Balkans. It is controversial generally about German trade through Bosnia. (February 18, 2021)

Melbourne

"Bulgarian Trade Unions: By 2025 Minimum Wage Should Be over BGN 2,400" The Bulgarian news is reporting on labor unions. Last summer there were labor strikes in Germany. (February 18, 2021)

The bureau and the British might use the same hardware for information gathering. My last name is Welles. I am a member of the White House church. My relatives arrived in North America from England centuries ago. The Virginians are German immigrants. Many of them arrived in the area from Prussia in the nineteenth century. It is never clear what the Virginians are doing. They speak in a regional dialect. The Virginians use surveillance hardware for covert operations. I never know if they are wanting to remain a part of the German army. It might be German labor unions that give the Virginians the hardware. It does not really make sense to me what the Virginians do with the hardware they have. And they are immigrants from Prussia, their relatives arrived in the area in the 1800s. Are the Virginians in real terms a part of the German army?

"Novak Djokovic delivers semi-final masterclass to beat Aslan Karatsev and reach ninth Australian Open final" The Telegraph is reporting on Melbourne. Novak will be in the final. [Djokovic speaks: 'This is the best I've felt in the entire tournament. I felt great. I could swing through the ball. No pain. Just the best match so far. It came at the right time. I am thrilled. I'm thrilled to feel this way."] (February 18, 2021)

There are rules of covert operations with surveillance hardware, they take pharmaceuticals when they use the hardware, they use the hardware day and night and on the weekends, they don't adjust what they're viewing. They are German immigrants using German-made hardware. They also for the most part ignore what is being said to them. "We don't take your orders."

The defense budget is controversial. The Virginians are German immigrants. They seem to buy a lot of German-made radios. There are tales about surveillance hardware. There are accounts that defense contractors take pharmaceuticals while they use surveillance hardware. It is strange about the budget and how the Virginians spend the money. They work at night and on the weekends.

It is Tuesday morning. The bureau is doing weird surveillance operations in an area that has been affected by a power outage. They are German immigrants. The power outage probably resulted from a German radio transmission. (February 16, 2021)

The defense contractors at the bureau do not read the newspaper but they watch movies with surveillance hardware. They think it is strange to pay people to read. I have said it is strange to watch movies with surveillance hardware.

"Cyprus green-lighted an independent investigation on Monday after police were accused of using excessive force against protesters, leaving one woman reportedly needing eye surgery." France24 is reporting on Cyprus. The Germans might send them police radios and that's why people are protesting. (February 15, 2021)

"Turkey insists that a 'two-state solution' is now the only way to solve the Cyprus problem, even if it contradicts UN resolutions for a federation model with political equality between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots." The Turkish news is reporting on Cyprus. The Germans maintain airbases in Anatolia. (February 15, 2021)

It's a sense at the Hoover Building that the employees need things. Conceptually, defense contractors need to watch movies with the surveillance hardware. They need to be in the building at night and on the weekends.

It's inefficient to watch a movie with surveillance hardware. Movies should not be watched with surveillance hardware. The bureau watches movies with surveillance hardware at night and on the weekends.

The British spend half the year in New York City. They all have four and five children.

There is a phenomenon that the British get excited about something and the Americans dread the same thing. For example, the British seem to vacation a lot in New York City. I never go to New York City. I dread thinking about New York City.

The defense contractors in the Hoover Building might show up to work on the weekends. There might not be much work to do. They stay anyway knowing they will not report what they did during their shift. It is a day of using surveillance hardware.

Covert ops is from the German army. The bureau says they are from 'the South'. They end up doing stunts in Lafayette Park or the Hoover Building.

The bureau watches movies with surveillance hardware, they do not know how to adjust what they are viewing, they do not report what they are doing.

'Covert ops' means that the bureau is using surveillance hardware. But then they do not report what they are doing, and the undercover agents do not get a salary and they are not allowed into the building.

If they cannot communicate with the radios effectively and they end up watching movies with the surveillance hardware. They watch the surveillance hardware as experts in criminal justice. They might not report what they observe with the radios. The Virginians are ethnically Prussian.

"What they end up doing is watching movies with the surveillance hardware. They are experts in criminal justice."

The Virginians are ethnically Prussian. They speak in a regional dialect. They seem to lobby to import German-made radios. They might not be able to communicate effectively with radios. It is short phrases. But they might not be able to say things and ask questions in a sequence such that they can learn things from a radio signal.

The Virginians are German immigrants. It might be that how they talk does not come across as clear information. It is when they send radio transmissions. They cannot talk in clear short phrases.

Washington, DC

Mogadishu is a port opposite Madagascar and Mozambique. 'Black Hawk Down' is about Mogadishu in 1993. It might be that foreigners gave the American infantrymen bad advice and that is why there were so many casualties. It might have been a joint operation.

The tank driving school kids might outrank the helicopter flight school kids.

I am watching 'Black Hawk Down'. When he was in the army Prince William was a helicopter pilot. That is controversial because it is not the same thing as being a tank commander. He is not like Patton and Monty and Rommel out there.

"Maybe baby the gypsy lied."

William studied at St. Andrews and he has three children. Wayne Rooney has four children.

"The bureau seems to go fishing with surveillance hardware. They might not know how to adjust what they are viewing. They're defense contractors who are experts in criminal justice."

"The bureau watches movies with surveillance hardware and the Germans aim drone strikes at two-car convoys."

I am writing about Vinnie Jones. He has written several books. He is from England but he now lives in Hollywood, California. His dad was in a labor union. His grandpa was named Arthur Jones. It's significant because it describes organized labor in England.

Washington, DC

"On Sunday, the kingdom intercepted two Houthi bomb-laden drones fired towards the southern garrison town of Khamis Mushait, the official Saudi Press Agency cited the Riyadh-led military coalition as saying." France24 is reporting on drones. Last year there was a drone strike that was fired at a two-car convoy. It's controversial generally about drone strikes aimed at cars. (February 14, 2021)

"If you're watching the same movie more than once with surveillance hardware."

"You have my complete attention."

The undercover does not collect a salary or enter the field office. The Virginians are German immigrants. The labor unions are in the buildings at night and on the weekends. It is not clear about any work to do at night and on the weekends. There might not be work to do. The undercovers cannot enter the buildings at any time, during the week or on the weekends. The newspaper reports on the bureau and surveillance hardware. The surveillance hardware might be used at night and on the weekends by labor unions. The defense contractors might use pharmaceuticals when they operate surveillance hardware.

"Militants of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) have executed 13 kidnapped Turks, including military and police personnel, in a cave in northern Iraq, Turkish officials said on Sunday, amid a military operation against the group." The Turkish news is reporting on Baghdad. There are reports about chemical munitions in Syria. The Germans maintain airbases in Anatolia. (February 14, 2021)

There are tales about the bureau and undercover agents. The undercovers might not receive a salary or enter the field office. The Virginians are German immigrants. It is not clear about the undercovers and labor unions. There are defense contractors in the Hoover Building. Stonewall Jackson died from friendly fire at night. The defense contractors in the Hoover Building seem to work at night and on the weekends. They might not have much work to do. Hopefully they don't commit acts of friendly fire.

The bureau does syndrome and the Germans do Venezuelan prison.

Washington, DC

Gulf War Syndrome
Prison sentences

In the 1990's the army complained about sleeplessness and anxiety. More recently there were two American servicemen arrested in Venezuela. It might be German radio technology that makes the army ill and arrests the soldiers.

"They think the machines work by reading their minds. They sit there and let the machines read their minds. They seem to take pharmaceuticals while they use the surveillance hardware."

Kosovo

"Voting in the early parliamentary elections began in the self-proclaimed Kosovo republic on Sunday, the Central Election Commission announced on Sunday." The Russian news is reporting on Kosovo. It is controversial generally about German trade through the Balkans. There might be airbases in Kosovo that manage regional trade. (February 14, 2021)

"Turkey launched the anti-terror Operation Claw-Eagle 2 on Wednesday to prevent the PKK/KCK and other terror groups' efforts to re-establish positions that were used in the past to carry out terror attacks against Turkey." The Turkish news is reporting on Baghdad. "Turkish forces kill dozens of PKK terrorists in northern Iraq" There are likely military research facilities in the Syrian desert. (February 13, 2021)

I am a Longhorn. Texas is in the Big 12 Conference. This is what I say to people from the Pac 12. "Didn't you guys used to be the Pac 10?"

Labor unions send nonsubstantive radio signals. There are too many sent at odd hours and on the weekends.

"The Prosecutors' College of the Supreme Judicial Council on Saturday elected ten European delegated prosecutors from Bulgaria. They will carry out investigations in Bulgaria on behalf of the new European Public Prosecutor's Office." The Bulgarian news is reporting on elections. There have been complaints about the hardware used by the German security services. (February 14, 2021)

"We'll call it even Johnny 99."

"I got a brother named Frankie and Frankie ain't no good." "Well ever since we was young kids it's been the same come down. I get a call on the short waive. Frankie is in trouble downtown." "As the band played night of the Johnstown flood." This is from a Bruce Springsteen song. The Virginians are German immigrants. There are sometimes efforts to upgrade the prisons in Virginia with defense spending. It is controversial because it might take money from the infantry. (February 13, 2021)

Washington, DC

I am writing about the island. In Europe there is what is called 'humanism'. It is a sense that everyone is valuable. In Greek and Latin culture there are villains. Sometimes the British behave as though they like everyone. It is easy for me to believe that certain people are more valuable than others. (February 13, 2021)

"According to Bagci, the S-400 deal will continue to be the biggest point of contention between the NATO allies given that the U.S. does not intend to compromise on the issue." The Turkish news is reporting on weaponry. The Germans maintain airbases in Anatolia. (February 13, 2021)

What I want to talk about is Novak Djokovic and Longhorn football.

Radio signals are sent over long distances.
It might be that too many signals are sent.
It is not clear about transmissions that are sent that are not substantive.
Maybe messages that are boring should not be sent.
It is possible labor unions send the messages.
Radio signals might be sent at odd hours and on the weekends.

Joining our voices with angels and archangels and all the company of heaven who forever proclaim the glory of your name.

Washington, DC

There are tales about the bureau and surveillance hardware. They might watch movies with surveillance hardware. Kevin Clinesmith is an attorney that lied about a surveillance application and he was given probation. Maybe he lied because they watch movies with the hardware.

Radio signals sent to Brandenburg from the bureau and the Pentagon.
Radio signals sent to the Pentagon from Brandenburg and the bureau.
Last summer there were labor strikes in Germany.
Maybe the bureau and the Pentagon are on a labor strike.
Maybe the radio signals coordinate labor strikes.

"...and reopened the casinos, although to non-Cuban patrons only." This is from a book about the Bay of Pigs invasion. Notice that there were ordinances that permitted only foreigners into buildings. There are military academies and tank driving schools in Venezuela. It might be that the Germans send tanks to Caracas from Lubeck. (February 12, 2021)

France24 is reporting on the navy. During the Korean War there are anecdotes about infantrymen. They demanded luxury food items before they would fight. (February 12, 2021)

'The Last Vampyre' is a Sherlock Holmes story. It is about Peru. There are two women characters that have moved to England from Peru. There is dialogue about the Incas and Machu Picchu. I am from Texas. The Comanche Indians lived in Texas. To the south were the Aztec Indians. The Comanches were highly skilled horsemen. It is likely the Comanches were the best horsemen in the Americas.

I am watching '1917' (2019). There is a character in the movie who is a British infantryman. He is a unit commander. He asks someone else what day it was. It was as though he was alright that he did not know what day of the week it was. (February 12, 2021)

I am watching '1917' (2019). Barbara Tuchman wrote 'Guns of August'. It might be that people out west have trouble reading the book. I have an easier time reading 'Infantry Attacks' by Erwin Rommel. It is possible that Tuchman wrote with New York City phrases. It makes more sense to me what Rommel was saying. Rommel for the most part makes comments about the French army. (February 12, 2021)

The White House has an area in the lawn where a helicopter can land. That is controversial because it makes the White House less of a home. The Eisenhower Executive Office Building is then some kind of airport control tower for the helicopter. Another option instead of the helicopter is for the president to drive to an airport. (February 12, 2021)

Australian Open

I am watching '1917' (2019). There is a Frenchwoman in the movie who seems frightened and timid. She does not use very many words. She is known as 'The woman in 1917'. It is a modern commentary about the French and if the French are reliable military allies. In the past it has been Freedom Fries and before that it was that the French do not have the stomach for war. (February 12, 2021)

Novak always dresses up like a crocodile during the Australian Open. It is because there are swamps in Australia. He is wearing a green shirt and white shorts. (February 12, 2021)

I am in Texas. I am watching the Australian Open on television. It is my favorite sports event of the year because it comes on early in the morning. It is right now 5:30am. Novak Djokovic is playing in the third round. He won the last two years. Two years ago he played in the final against Nadal. Last year he played in the final against Dominic Thiem. I thought last year Dominic interrupted Novak during his acceptance speech. When Novak wins he tells jokes during his speech. When he won the US Open he said a rap lyric. I wait the whole time until we finally get to hear Novak's speech and then last year it seems like Dominic interrupted the speech. (February 12, 2021)

"In asking a federal judge to detain Thomas Edward Caldwell, 66, pending trial, prosecutors revealed some of the most explicit evidence to date of discussions allegedly indicating coordination and planning among groups under scrutiny for the assault on Congress that left one police officer and four others dead, delayed the confirmation of President Biden's victory and led to charges against more than 200 people."

Dallas, Texas

When I was little my uncle sent us nice fishing poles. Our house was my parents, my sister, and I. My dad is named Henry and he was born in New York City. It was my mom's brother who sent us the fishing poles. My dad and I went fishing with the fishing poles one day. It would have looked like us standing there with the fishing poles with the lines in the lake. We would not have caught any fish. If we had caught fish, we would not have known how to clean them or cook them. We stayed for an hour or two and then went back home. I grew up in Austin, Texas and my dad worked for the Texas state government. (February 11, 2021)

I am writing about how people talk in Dallas, Texas. My uncle was an attorney there for decades. He went to SMU Law School. There is a concept about talking about other people. "He got fired from a [...]" It must be significant in Dallas if someone gets fired and what kind of work they were doing. (February 11, 2021)

I am writing about Washington, DC. The Virginians are German immigrants, and they work for labor unions. Many of them work in proximity to the prison systems in Virginia. Two different anecdotes recently are about the bureau. Kevin Clinesmith is an attorney and he has been given probation. He lied about a surveillance application. Thomas Caldwell was a bureau section chief. He has been accused of affiliating with an extremist group. Locally it is as though there is a disconnect about what is grave. "I am glad I didn't lie about a surveillance application." "I am glad I haven't been accused of affiliating with an extremist group." (February 11, 2021)

Thomas Caldwell, who authorities believe holds a leadership role in the extremist group, worked as a section chief for the FBI from 2009 to 2010 after retiring from the Navy, his lawyer, Thomas Plofchan, wrote in a motion urging the judge to release him from jail while he awaits trial."

I am at the Ronald Reagan International Airport in Virginia. The last time I flew I sat next to a defense contractor and he updated his fantasy football team during the flight. At the airport on the way home there was another defense contractor and he was from a small town in Florida. He was a US Marine and he went to a college I hadn't heard of. He had a Harvard Business School hat on. He'd used his GI bill to attend a certification program at Harvard. He said he thought that was fun because he was from the south. I asked him, "Did you go to the Harvard Business School?" This morning there was a defense contractor in front of me at the security gate. They searched his bag and found toothpaste. The security people threw away the toothpaste. (February 10, 2021)

Navy veteran Thomas Edward Caldwell - worked for the bureau and has been accused of affiliating with an extremist group.

Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith "Ex-F.B.I. Lawyer Who Altered Email in Russia Case Is Sentenced to Probation. A judge rebuffed a request by prosecutors to impose a prison sentence on Kevin Clinesmith, who admitted doctoring an email used to help authorize a wiretap on a former Trump campaign aide."

"The feds say he's an extremist leader who directed rioters. He also had top-secret clearance and worked for the FBI, attorney says." "Navy veteran Thomas Edward Caldwell led a band of the Oath Keepers extremist group to Washington on Jan. 6 to storm the U.S. Capitol, federal prosecutors allege, helping to mastermind a violent plot to stop lawmakers from certifying Joe Biden's presidential victory.

Caldwell also had a top-secret security clearance and served as a section chief for the FBI after leaving the armed forces in 2009, Plofchan said." The Washington Post is reporting on the bureau.

Longhorn Football

I am getting an MSLIS at Catholic University in Washington, DC. I really like my degree program. We're the Cardinals. My uncle was the Bishop of Kansas City. Bishop Welles lived in Kansas City. I tell my dad that I am Cardinal Welles.
I am reading the websites of other library science programs. Oklahoma University has a PhD program in library science. I have a few anecdotes about Texas colleges. I'm from Austin, Texas originally. I'm a Longhorn. I graduated Phi Beta Kappa from UT-Austin in 2005. When I was little the football team began the season playing Rice University. Rice is a small private school in Houston. The Longhorn football team did not have a hard time against the Rice Owls. What does that say about the academics at Rice? The admission standards at Rice are very competitive. As the admission standards at Rice are competitive, the football team isn't. It was an every year, the season would start and the Longhorns would win heavy handedly against the Rice Owls. And then we go back to the Rice University admission standards and how smart the Rice students are.
More recently, the LSU football team came to Austin to play (2019). LSU won. It means the Longhorns lost at home. But before the game there was an LSU player that went over to the Longhorn bench and drank from the Texas water bottles. His team won, but he was saying that he was very comfortable at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. Louisiana State University is in Baton Rouge, LA. That player that day visited Austin but normally he lives in Baton Rouge.
My complaint about the OU library science program is that they don't offer much to people who don't live in Norman. I don't live anywhere near Norman, OK. But I would like to read the website.

"We'd forgotten that you'd already been to Philadelphia." There are tales about the bureau and surveillance hardware. It seems like there are defense contractors in the Hoover Building. I can hear them talking on a radio. They might be in the field office and the Hoover Building at night and on the weekends. Kevin Clinesmith is an attorney. He lied to justify surveillance and he was given probation. There are disputes about salaries and building assignments. The Virginians are German immigrants. It's never clear about what they're doing with the surveillance hardware. (February 9, 2021)

I am writing about the Church of England. I read about the Irish and having children. Wayne Rooney has four children. I'm not married and I don't have any children. It seems to be my religion that I get weird that I don't live in a different city. My dad was born in New York City in 1956. I grew up in Austin, Texas. That wasn't easy because it's kind of boring there. I now live in Washington, DC and I like living here. I am describing a sense that I should live in a different and distant city. For example, I am going on a trip to Pittsburgh next month. I feel a sense of loss that I don't live in Pittsburgh. There is a part of me that feels like I should live in Pittsburgh. The same is true about Baltimore and Boston and Los Angeles. By contrast, Wayne Rooney lives in the town where he grew up and he's married and he has four children. He has to have a sense that it is his religion to have that many children. (February 9, 2021)

I really like my job. I'm from Texas. My uncle was the Bishop of Kansas City, Edward Randolph Welles II. He married a Dutchwoman. Her family had owned land in New York City. I make jokes about the Dutch because I think my cousins aren't good at school. It might not be prestigious to be a landowner, for example. I went to UT-Austin and then Georgia Tech for graduate school. I studied in Saint Petersburg. At Texas I studied the Russian language and the Polish language. Now I am reading the Serbian language internet more and more. I follow the Serbian diplomatic corps. Nikola Selakovic is the new Serbian foreign minister. He and I were both born in 1983. I like Nikola a lot. I'm not a big fan of Marko Djuric. He's the new Serbian ambassador here in Washington, DC. He lives with several relatives and I think he doesn't work much. I always want to report Marko to Nikola. Both Marko and Nikola studied at the University of Belgrade School of Law. (February 9, 2021)

"The bureau does lay and wait tactics for someone to read the newspaper. They don't read the newspaper. The labor unions in Virginia are German labor unions. They think it's a good habit for policemen to not read the newspaper. If someone does read the newspaper they're suspect."

There are accounts about long-term labor strikes in Germany. Last summer there were labor strikes in Germany. The newspaper sometimes reports on the bureau and surveillance hardware. There are defense contractors assigned to the field office and the Hoover Building. The bureau might use lay and wait tactics with surveillance hardware. If they do that at length it might be a labor strike. Kevin Clinesmith is an attorney. He lied to justify surveillance at the bureau and he's been given probation. The image is that the bureau spends days and weeks and months monitoring boring surveillance hardware. (February 9, 2021)

In the evenings there is a transition between 'laugh fight' and 'race fight'. In the mornings there is a transition between 'race fight' and 'laugh fight'. It's Spanish infantrymen using German-made radios. They send radio transmissions to Washington, DC from Madrid and Brandenburg. It's Monday night and I am about to go to bed.

At night it's 'race fight' and during the day it's 'laugh fight'. Spanish soldiers use German-made radios and the transmissions arrive here in Washington, DC. The image is that they laugh while they send transmissions during the daytime but at night they race. It's possible that Spanish soldiers study at military academies in Germany. It alternates daily between laugh fight and race fight. (February 8, 2021)

Locally, there seem to be labor disputes. The Virginians are German immigrants. They might say things into a radio that they wouldn't say into a telephone. They might do this because they don't want to be regulated. It's similar about who has access to police buildings. The Virginians are strange generally about women in police buildings. They seem to lobby to import German-made radios. (February 8, 2021)

It's Spanish soldiers using German-made radios. During the day they 'laugh fight' and tell me to clean things. At night they 'race fight'. I wake up every four or five hours. It's Monday morning.

Locally, it might be that defense contractors for years on end collect salaries but they don't work much. It's because of German radio technology. The Virginians are ethnically Prussian. In Germany there are accounts about long-term labor strikes. (February 8, 2021)

"The statement responds to a call by opposition leader Svyatlana Tsikhanouskaya to all non-indifferent people to support Belarusian protesters by joining the Day of Solidarity with Belarus, February 7."

'Covert ops' locally is controversial. There are reports in the newspaper about the bureau and surveillance hardware. It might be that the bureau uses surveillance hardware when they are doing 'covert ops'. There are additionally accounts about a radio. "In three years we'll pay you a salary." "You don't have a cert, we'll give you our cert." "You're not an agent, you're an op." It might be that defense contractors can talk to people through a radio. And then they'll say things that they might not have said on the phone. It seems to resemble labor unions and labor disputes. (February 8, 2021)

Patrick Mahomes

I am watching the Super Bowl. Kansas City won the coin toss. They deferred. I'd feel silly to defer. It seems like who wins the coin toss should start off with the ball. The announcer said that for the last several seasons who has won the coin toss has deferred.

Kansas City is losing 14-6 in the second quarter. Patrick Mahomes is the Kansas City quarterback and he went to Texas Tech. Tom Brady is the Tampa Bay quarterback and he went to Michigan. It might be that Patrick Mahomes will lose the game because he isn't familiar with the Michigan Wolverines football team. I'm a Longhorn. Texas plays Michigan in football. The Michigan Wolverines are hard if not impossible to beat. Patrick Mahomes might have prepared for the game believing it was impossible to win. It's Super Bowl LV. (Feburary 7, 2021)

Sentences he now says he didn't used to say. Sentences he used to say he no longer says. The British people I meet also act like they're married. (February 7, 2021)

It's Spanish soldiers using German-made radios. Here in Washington, DC I can hear commands through a radio. They 'laugh fight' tell me to clean things throughout the day. At night I wake up every four or five hours. It's 'race fight' at night. Today is Sunday and I am on my way home. I hear a command to take the garbage out when I get home. I often hear commands telling me that later I'll have a specific cleaning task. Also, I'm 37 years old. It seems like I'm too old for people to tell me to clean things. It seems like strange European culture when old people are told they're young. (February 7, 2021)

The field office and the Hoover Building are on 4th Street and 9th Street NW. It seems like there are defense contractors in the buildings. The Virginians are German immigrants. It might be that the federal agents in these buildings don't usually read the newspaper. They also don't use the telephone much. They might use radios instead of the telephone. Conceptually, they will only do work if the work doesn't involve the newspaper or the telephone. And so they believe there is work to do and they show up. But the work they do isn't what needs to be done. Last summer there were labor strikes in Germany. The Virginians might be on a labor strike because they won't read the newspaper. (February 6, 2021)

"It was obvious to Suleiman that the most likely place for their advance to be stopped was the river Drava, the only river barrier that now remained between the Sultan and Hungary since the fall of Belgrade.

My dad's brother was named Jonathan Sprague Welles. He was named after our relative who was a privateer in the War of 1812. He was an attorney in Dallas, Texas for decades. He went to SMU Law School. I am writing about how Uncle John talked. I grew up in Austin, Texas and we talk differently.

Do you know the elevation of that [specific] city? (My dad would ask)
Do I know the elevation of what? (My uncle would respond)

Conceptually, it's about asking people about where they're from. My uncle in this example needed some clarity about the question. They are discussing land use and topography. "Gino Anthony Pesi was born on 3 November 1980 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His parents resemble mixed ethnical background as his mother is of Croatian descent, and his father is an American. The actor possesses a unique charm inheriting different cultural blends from his family and stands 6 feet (1.85m) tall. As a child, Gino was raised in the Monongahela Valley with a passion for sports and entertainment. The actor wanted to become a baseball player or an actor since the age of six." Gino Anthony Pesi is an actor from Pittsburgh. There is a movie where he's asked a lot of questions. It would be fun to ask Gino questions about Pittsburgh.

I am building a savings account. I watch my credit score. I'm healthy. I go swimming at the YMCA and I use the digital scale. I'm about 135 lbs. I'm doing fine but there are two things that unsettle me sometimes, (1) it's hard for me about my age. 37 seems to be a hard age for me because I feel like I am getting older, (2) sometimes I wish I lived in a different city. I grew up in Austin, Texas. Sometimes I think maybe I should live in Boston or Los Angeles. It's a sense of places far away and maybe I should go there. "Maybe I should move to Baltimore. Maybe I should move to Pittsburgh." (February 5, 2021)

I hear "We need to show you how we fight." Also, at noon I hear a command to brush my hair.

I guess he was using cameras to watch his apartment door. The whole thing was at 6am on Tuesday.

Two agents died, three others were wounded. All to execute a search warrant at 6am on a Tuesday. It was near Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

"The suspect was identified Wednesday as 55-year-old David Huber, who lived at the apartment complex. A law enforcement official familiar with the matter said investigators are looking into whether Huber may have been using a camera to monitor the agents' activity before opening fire on them and believe multiple shots were fired through a door. The official could not discuss an ongoing investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
Three other agents were wounded, with two of them hospitalized. Both of the hospitalized agents were released Wednesday. The third agent was treated at the scene. Huber apparently killed himself after a standoff."

However, the exact reason for this 55-year-old doctor's death has not been announced yet. Navalny, who fell ill on the plane while on a tour of Siberia, was first transferred to a hospital in Omsk, and then to Germany for treatment, from where it was first publicly and officially said that he was poisoned with a nerve agent novichok. Namely, tests in Europe determined that the toxin was from the Novichok family of Soviet-era nerve agents." The Serbian news is reporting on Alexei Navalny.

During the Korean War there were American infantrymen taken prisoner. There are detailed accounts available at the public library about their time in prison. When they were released, many of them received half pay. It means there is a precedent for paying soldiers for time they spent in enemy prisons. Here in Washington, DC there are radio signals that arrive from Madrid and Brandenburg. It seems like the Pentagon either ignores these signals or they arrange for them. The signals are belligerent. There are accounts that radio transmissions are aimed at people here in Washington, DC. (February 5, 2021)

And the media reported that Britney and Justin had sex.
And it was in the media that she'd not had sex with anyone else before.
Justin then broke up with her.

Now on Instagram David Beckham makes comments on Justin Timberlake's account.
Britney Spears has a different boyfriend who is on her Instagram account.
(February 4, 2021)

I am watching Justin Timberlake videos. I'm doing this because I noticed that David Beckham makes comments on Justin Timberlake's Instagram account. I'm from Austin, Texas. Justin Timberlake is from Memphis, Tennessee. He's two years older than I am. I'm 37. He just turned 40. When I was little I knew not to listen to Justin Timberlake songs. It was a sense that it was unethical to hear them. It was strange about Britney Spears. They had been a couple but then they broke up. It seemed like he wasn't very nice to her. I'm learning about the British and how they keep up with America. I didn't know that David Beckham was friends with Justin Timberlake. Now I know that. (February 4, 2021)

The search was on Tuesday morning at 6am. That seems early to execute a search warrant. It was near Fort Lauderdale, Florida. (February 4, 2021)

Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake is from Memphis, Tennessee. I lived near Nashville for about six months. It gets cold in Tennessee in the winter. The clothes they wear are winter heavy coats. Nashville is a beautiful city but the weather makes it hard to get around. He is two years older than I am. I'm from Austin, Texas. I think Justin Timberlake still lives in Tennessee. Not everyone would want to live there. I now live in Washington, DC. I like living in the city because it's fun to do things in a big city. (February 4, 2021)

In the case of the British intelligence service. I'm 37 and I'm not married. That's a hard age for a woman who isn't married. British people get married more often than Americans maybe. They have more children than American couples. I feel like I'm here in Washington, DC and getting old. And all of the British people are married and they have several kids. I have to live my own depression of aging but they don't because they're all married and they all have kids. (February 4, 2021)

Locally, there are strange accounts about security clearances. David Petraeus was fired essentially because he was unfaithful to his wife. But the Virginians live as couples even if they're not married. They get married late in life. It might be that surveillance hardware is used to investigate security clearances. In the case of David Petraeus, it's not clear if there were efforts to monitor him and his girlfriend. I'm 37. I don't always know what the rules are for my security clearance in terms of romantic relationships, for example. I live alone and I'm not married. (February 4, 2021)

I read 'Moby Dick' sometimes. My dad is named Henry Welles. Herman Melville wrote 'Moby Dick'. I like the scenes in the book when the Dutchmen are making chowder early in the morning. They tell stores that aren't factually accurate. But they tell the stories while they're eating the chowder early in the morning. The novel has the stories they tell. There are historical references that aren't quite right. In Texas my dad worked for the Texas state government. He was an economist and so he made a salary that would be a good salary. But it was him, my mom, me and my sister in the house. When we ran out of money, which would be because we would spend it on stuff. It would be me and my dad competing for the money. I now know that he and I cannot coexist in peace if either of us don't have money. I live financially completely independent of my dad. The image is of me and my dad at the dinner table, and we'd fight over a small sum. It's what the house was like living in Texas and that my dad worked for the state government. (February 4, 2021)

My dad was born in New York City in 1956. His dad worked for Time Inc. I grew up in Texas because my dad got a job working for the Texas state government. It was evident in the house what culture had come from New York City. I have learned in recent years that the British work in New York City and they vacation there a lot. And so late in life I encounter the same culture from New York City. (February 4, 2021)

Labor unions are unique as they relate wages with age.

In Venezuela there was an army officer who was arrested in his 40's.

I live in Washington, DC. Virginia is south of the Potomac River. Locally, there is a phenomenon about security clearances. The locals seem to live as couples without being married. The Virginians are German immigrants. Housing costs are high and people simply live together even when they're not married. By contrast, there seems to be scrutiny over people from out of town. It's as though people from out of town aren't able to have sex unless they're married. A famous example was David Petraeus, who was fired because he was unfaithful to his wife. But normal young people who live locally, kind of don't have sex unless they're married. If they do they might lose their security clearance. The Virginians work for labor unions. (February 4, 2021)

Florida

They executed a search warrant at 6am near Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I guess the person shot back and killed two agents. It seems early to execute a search warrant.

Two FBI agents killed while serving warrant in Florida
Two FBI agents were shot and killed and three others wounded early Tuesday morning as they tried to search the South Florida apartment of a suspect in an investigation of crimes against children, FBI officials said, marking one of darkest days in recent memory for the country's premier federal law enforcement institution.
The deadly encounter was the first time since 2008 that FBI personnel were fatally shot while performing law enforcement work, and it drew comparisons to an incident 35 years ago in which two agents were killed and five others were wounded in a bloody shootout in a residential suburb of Miami. The bureau released few details of the encounter, other than to say a suspect opened fire on agents as they went to an apartment complex about 6 a.m. "to execute a federal court-ordered search warrant in furtherance of a violent crimes against children case."
Law enforcement officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, said preliminary reports indicate the suspected shooter killed himself, though they cautioned that investigators were still working to piece together the precise circumstances of the encounter. Authorities have not identified the suspect, saying during a news conference Tuesday evening that they would not do so before that person's family had been notified.
The FBI personnel killed were Special Agents Daniel Alfin, 36, and Laura Schwartzenberger, 43, who both specialized in investigating crimes against children. Two other agents were taken to the hospital in stable condition, each having been shot multiple times, and another was hurt but remained on the scene, officials said. The wounded were not identified.
"Every day, FBI Special Agents put themselves in harm's way to keep the American people safe," FBI Director Christopher A. Wray said in a statement. "Special Agent Alfin and Special Agent Schwartzenberger exemplified heroism today in defense of their country. The FBI will always honor their ultimate sacrifice and will be forever grateful for their bravery. We continue to stand by our FBI Family, and the families of these Special Agents, in the days to come, bringing every resource we can to get through this together."
The shooting took place at the Water Terrace apartments in Sunrise, Fla., a bedroom community just northwest of Fort Lauderdale. Royal palms line the nearby streets, with the complex itself located in a part of town where expensive subdivisions of lavish homes give way to middle-class housing. Officials said agents went to the apartment in hopes of seizing computer or other equipment from the residence when the shooting broke out.
George Piro, the special agent in charge of the FBI's Miami Field Office, said agents serve such warrants almost daily, and they "thoroughly research and meticulously plan to take into account any threats or dangers." Generally, he said, the serving of warrants ends without incident and investigators continue their work.
"The operation this morning in Sunrise ended tragically, with the subject opening fire on the members of the search team," Piro said, adding later, "Dan and Laura left home this morning to carry out the mission they signed up for and loved to do, to keep the American people safe. They were valuable members of the FBI and will forever be heroes."
The sprawling apartment complex, cut by a canal, is gated and surrounded by mauve-colored walls, and the units are housed in taupe buildings, some of them two stories tall. On Tuesday, children in multicolored backpacks were being escorted by crossing guards across the street, where yellow caution tape marked a police cordon.
The complex is within a four-mile radius of at least three schools, including the Franklin Academy Charter School directly across the street. Some parents there on Tuesday afternoon left work to pick up their children after hearing about the shooting.
"This is scary, but it speaks to our day and age," said Ester Fredric, 40, a retail clerk. "I feel like I need to sit down and talk to my daughter in ways she can understand. You know, 'No strangers. Be careful.'"
David Alfin, Daniel Alfin's father, said his son was a graduate of Florida State University who came from a family dedicated to public service. Daniel's older brother works in law enforcement in South Florida, and his younger brother teaches at the U.S. Military Academy.
"I couldn't be more proud of Daniel and his brothers," David Alfin said. "I think that they were incredibly great kids that were interested in helping others, and they found a way to do that through their service commitments."
Piro said Alfin joined the FBI in 2009 and initially was assigned to the office in Albany, N.Y. He had worked on cases involving crimes against children for more than six years and had been in Miami since 2017, Piro said. According to a 2017 FBI article, Alfin was involved in the investigation of the creator of what was believed to be the world's largest child pornography website: Playpen. He is survived by a wife and child, Piro said.
Schwartzenberger joined the FBI in 2005 and initially was assigned to the office in Albuquerque, Piro said. She was assigned to the Miami office in 2010 and had worked on crimes-against-children cases for more than seven years, including investigating those who assume fake identities online and try to solicit or extort nude images from minors. She would periodically talk about her work and the dangers of social media to students at Miami's Rockway Middle School, the school said in a statement.
"She would always say, 'I feel that coming here and talking about the hard stuff means that I won't see you guys on my end,'" the school said in a statement. "With her presentations, students would gain an awareness of online safety, cyberbullying, and experience the evidence response process of an FBI agent. Laura's commitment and dedication to not just Rockway, but the community as a whole, will be missed."
"The FBI is a family, and our chosen profession is fraught with danger," Piro said. "Today, this grim reality has taken two of our best from our family."
Across the country, current and former law enforcement officials praised the agents and said the shooting underscored the dangers of their jobs.
"These Agents were working to protect the most vulnerable in our society," said FBI Agents Association President Brian O'Hare. "FBI Special Agents risk their lives to protect our country, and the loss of these Agents is devastating to the entire FBI community and to our country. FBIAA hopes that all Americans will join us in our efforts to support these FBI families in this time of tragedy."
In remarks at the White House, President Biden said: "My heart aches for the families. ... They put their lives on the line, and it's a hell of a price to pay."
At the Justice Department in D.C., a spokeswoman said acting attorney general Monty Wilkinson was monitoring the investigation.
"We mourn the tragic loss of two of our FBI colleagues who were killed today in the line of duty," Wilkinson said in a statement. "Our thoughts are with their families and loved ones and with their three colleagues who were shot in today's devastating events. On this dark day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women of the FBI who put their lives on the line every day in support of our mission. We will never forget the ultimate sacrifice made by these special agents."
The FBI publicly lists 81 agents and other employees who have lost their lives in the line of duty, according to an FBI site that tracks that information. The total includes several, in recent years, whose deaths were attributed to illnesses linked to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
According to the agency's "Wall of Honor," the most recent shooting death occurred in 2008, when Special Agent Samuel S. Hicks was killed while serving a warrant near Pittsburgh. Authorities were executing a warrant at a house connected to a drug-trafficking organization when Hicks was fatally shot, according to the bureau.
Faiola reported from Sunrise, Fla. Julie Tate and Mark Berman in Washington contributed to this report. (February 3, 2021)

It's overwhelming here in Washington, DC because it's as though British men won't use condoms. It seems to be the culture in Great Britain that men don't use condoms ever. It's strange because I guess it comes from Ireland. I never have sex ever. I'm 37. And so I blame all of this on Scottish Protestantism. Here in Washington, DC the women agents don't have sex ever. But here are these British men who are married and they have several children. There doesn't seem to be a culture in London where people aren't married. London is a culture of married couples.

The Serbian news is reporting on the President of France, Emmanuel Macron. Bosnia trades in mark. It's controversial generally about German trade through the Balkans. (February 1, 2021)

"Agreement with Germany on exchange and mutual protection of classified information takes effect The Agreement between the government of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the government of the Federal Republic of Germany on the exchange and mutual protection of classified information signed on May 28, 2019, in Tashkent, entered into force on January 26." The Tashkent news is reporting on Brandenburg. The Germans have developed radios that can send long distance transmissions with precision. (February 1, 2021)

"The Anti-Corruption Foundation (non-profit organization recognized as foreign agent in Russia) created by Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny has reaffirmed its foreign agent status by calling on US President Joe Biden to introduce sanctions against several dozens of Russian businessmen and politicians, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters." The Russian news is reporting on Alexei Navalny. The Germans use chemical munitions for policing. (February 1, 2021)

"Belarusians want to have a country that only comes up with peaceful initiatives, but they are ready to respond to any provocations, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said Monday." The Russian news is reporting on Minsk. It seems like the government in Minsk imported German-made radios that they use for policing. (February 1, 2021)

Vietnam

"Myanmar's army seized power in an apparent coup during the early morning hours Monday, detaining de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi along with members of her party and declaring a state of emergency, which signaled an end to the Southeast Asian nation's nascent democratic experiment." The Bulgarian news is reporting on Myanmar. There have been tank battles in Vietnam. It's possible the Germans send weaponry to Hanoi from the Gulf of Danzig. (February 1, 2021)

"In March 1945 the Japanese staged a coup, deposing the French puppet regime and assuming full mastery over Vietnam. Colonialism was sustainable only as long as it appeared to subject peoples as the inevitable order, a perception changed forever in Southeast Asia." This is from a book about the Vietnam War. Notice the mention of a coup. There have been tank battles in Vietnam. It seems like the Germans send weaponry to Hanoi from the Gulf of Danzig. (January 31, 2021)

Kurt Cobain

This is from a 'Nirvana' song. I remember when Kurt Cobain died. I was ten years old and I was in Austin, Texas. I remember hearing someone say that he had died. That's how I learned that. In Austin we dress like the Nirvana band members. We wear long sleeve thermal shirts. For a long time there was a direct flight from Austin, Texas to San Jose, California. "Kurt Cobain died." Kurt Cobain died in Seattle.

Here we are now, entertainers
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito
Here we are now, entertainers

Houston, Texas

"Lookin' like a star in your Armani suit" This is from a Destiny's Child song. They're from Houston. Beyonce went to the Houston School for Performing and Visual Arts. "The club is full of ballers and their pockets full grown" I went to Lyndon Johnson High School in Austin, Texas. (January 31, 2021)

London

I'm writing about the island. I'm from Texas. It's clear to me that the English men's national team hasn't won the World Cup since 1966. I know that's true. When I meet the British, sometimes I'll mention this. They don't want to talk about it. I know a man named Chris who went to St. Andrews. I mentioned it to him and he didn't want to talk about it. I think that the British behave as though the men's team does win. They lost, but they pretend they won. Then there isn't anything to discuss and nothing needs to change. It's a sense of a group mentality. In Texas, we know they lose every tournament. In London, they think they win.

Texan to the Londoner: You guys lose every tournament. Why is that?
Londoner: We behave as though we win and we don't want to talk about it.
(January 31, 2021)

Washington, DC

"You guys call over here and you think the men's team won. I know they lost." The English men's national team hasn't won the World Cup since 1966. I am monitoring David Beckham's Instagram account. He comments on Justin Timberlake's Instagram account. It's as though nobody mentions that the men's team doesn't win. Maybe David Beckham could provide a theory as to why they never win. (January 31, 2021)

Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake is from Tennessee. I'm from Texas. Memphis and Nashville are music cities in Tennessee. Austin is a music town. Beyonce is from Houston. She went to the Houston School for Performing and Visual Arts. When I was little there was a story in the media about Mick Jagger. Mick Jagger was being critical of Justin Timberlake. At the time I ignored that. I am reflecting now about what that means. It's famous about the trade between Warsaw and Dublin. It's possible that the British heard more Justin Timberlake songs than we heard in Texas. Britney Spears is from Louisiana. It's possible that's also true about her. I am wanting to describe the music on the radio. Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears might seem irrelevant in Texas. Because, as I said, Beyonce is from Houston. There are accounts about Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears and their songs were popular in Great Britain. It has to do with the distribution network and which radio stations wanted to play their music. Texas radio stations wouldn't play that much of their music probably.

Justin Timberlake is from Tennessee
Britney Spears is from Louisiana
It's possible their songs were played more in Great Britain than Texas
Beyonce is from Houston
Radio stations decide which songs to play and not play
(January 31, 2021)

Brandenburg

I am writing about Los Angeles, California. It's well known that Werner von Braun worked at Los Alamos in New Mexico. It's also true that German philosophy experts and international theory experts went to work at UCLA. I occasionally encounter their writings. I've met a woman who studied at UCLA for her doctorate in international relations theory. CalTech is in Los Angeles. A stone's throw from CalTech is the UCLA campus with these German philosophy professors. It's strange what they build at CalTech. It's also strange what they write about at UCLA. For example, Marcia Bates wrote "An introduction to metatheories, theories, and models" in 2005. It's related to these Germans who worked on the UCLA faculty decades ago. "Department of Information Studies, UCLA" "Theories of International Relations, UCLA" (January 31, 2021)

"Another Landslide in Less than 48 Hours on The Roads of Bulgaria" "Collapsed rocks blocked one lane of the Struma highway in the section between Sofia and Pernik." The Bulgarian news is reporting on a landslide. It might be German radio technology that caused the landslide. The Germans have developed radios that can send long distance transmissions with precision. (January 31, 2021)

Virginia

A few examples about the military and age, (1) there was a middle-aged federal agent that went to Iran and he was arrested. He died in prison in Iran. He had worked for the bureau. Robert Levinson was in his 50's when he was arrested in Iran. (2) more recently an American serviceman was arrested in Venezuela. Airan Berry was in his 40's when he was arrested in Venezuela. The Virginians are German immigrants and they work for labor unions. It might be that people don't retire when they should. The Virginians make high salaries. It's strange that these men were deployed at these ages. It's probably because of defense contractors and salaries. (January 31, 2021)

Turkey

"On Saturday the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry announced that the joint Turkish-Russian observation center, established to monitor the cease-fire following the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, has come into operation." The Turkish news is reporting on the Caucasus region. It seems like there are belligerent radio signals coming from Anatolia. (January 30, 2021)

Texas

It's strange between Washington, DC and London. British men want to make a baby when they have sex. I think to myself, "I don't want to make a baby!" And so it's weird to talk to them. Because they don't really use contraception. What they think is a good time I know that's not a good time. For example, when Wayne Rooney was here they were excited that Coleen had four kids. I thought to myself, "Wow, British men really just want to make a baby when they have sex." What they think is fun, I think isn't fun. It's awkward generally between the Americans and the British. The British have so many children. I can't believe how many kids British couples have. (January 30, 2021)

Another difference between the British and the Americans is about married life. It seems like British couples behave as a married couple differently than they would as two people. This is true about age-related behavior. For example, British women will have sex with their husbands when they're in their thirties. I think it doesn't matter to Americans if it's their husband. What is strange, is strange regardless if people are married. Kate Middleton began having children in her thirties. It's a weird image around their house that they have two kids already and then having this third kid. As a married woman, they already had two kids. She was thirty five or so. I'm 37 right now and I feel too old to behave like that. It's a sense of my age and that I am getting older. I'm from Texas. It's possible women in Texas get arthritis or something and British women don't. I don't know how British women have all of this energy in their thirties to have children. "It's because it's her husband it's not weird?" (January 30, 2021)

I'm 37 years old. I'm from Texas originally. The British and the Americans are different about age. Kate Middleton is older than I am. They started having children in their thirties. I'm not married and I don't have any children. Kate has three children. I don't have a boyfriend ever. It's mostly because I think I'm too old to have a boyfriend. It seems like British women think they can have children in their thirties. I think I'm too old to have sex even, let alone have children. It's not clear what age people should stop having sex. It's weird to me that British women have sex when they're old. (January 30, 2021)

Washington, DC

I near commands to clean.
I cannot enter the field office or the Hoover Building.

Every day I hear a command to clean something every hour. Every day at noon I hear a command to brush my hair. Today I am hearing commands about something I should clean tomorrow. At night I wake up every four or five hours.

The newspaper sometimes reports on the bureau and surveillance hardware. The bureau might not pay the undercover agents. The Virginians are strange generally about women in police buildings.

As I hear radio signals telling me to clean, I'm not able to enter the field office or the Hoover Building. The Virginians are German immigrants and they speak creole. They seem to lobby to import German-made radios.

(January 30, 2021)

Jakub Vrana

The Washington Capitals have played eight games and they have won five games. Here are the players with the most points. Nicklas Backstrom and Lars Eller are from Scandinavia. Jakub Vrana is from the Czech Republic. It might be that German radio technology is used to recruit players for the hockey league. (January 30, 2021)

Vietnam

"Nonetheless Ho was readily accepted as leader of the group, and indeed of the new movement, which they called the Vietnam Independence League, shortened to Vietminh. Its leaders did not disguise their own ideological commitment, but only much later did they explicitly avow communism as their only permitted creed." This is from a book about the Vietnam War. Notice the mention of the Vietminh. There have been tank battles in Vietnam. The Germans might send tanks to Hanoi from Lubeck. Lubeck, Germany serves as a regional hub for naval vessels. (January 30, 2021)

"But they quickly realized that this was no local, and certainly no farmer. Ho drew maps of Hanoi for those who had never seen it, and advised them to dig latrines." This is from a book about the Vietnam War. Notice the mention of Hanoi. There have been tank battles in Vietnam. It seems like the Germans send weaponry to Hanoi from the Gulf of Danzig. (January 30, 2021)

Marko Djuric

"Maybe baby the gypsy lied." Marko Djuric is married to a woman named Adrijana. They have three children. Ambassador Djuric studied at the University of Belgrade School of Law. Alex and Anastasia Ovechkin have two children. It's remarkable to me about these men from the Slavic world. They're married and it seems like they don't work much. It's a lingering dispute between Washington, DC and Moscow. It's the Russians who are strange about social custom. Americans aren't married, so to speak, and we don't have children. (January 30, 2021)

Kevin Clinesmith

The bureau has an attorney that lied about a surveillance application. He altered an email to justify surveillance. He's been given probation. His name is Kevin Clinesmith.

There are tales about the bureau and surveillance hardware. The Virginians are German immigrants and they work for labor unions. They might 'laugh fight'. For example, they laugh fight stay in the buildings at night and on the weekends. They laugh fight speak creole. They laugh fight don't follow due process procedures. They laugh fight and don't know how to adjust what they're viewing on the surveillance monitors. They laugh fight and won't let the undercover agents in the buildings. It's a sense of labor unions and they laugh fight at work. (January 30, 2021)

Washington, DC

Every hour, clean something.
Every day at noon, brush my hair.
At night I wake up every four or five hours.
At night they 'race fight' and during the day they 'laugh fight'.
I hear, "We need to show you how we fight."
For example, they laugh fight tell me to clean.
They laugh fight tell me to brush my hair.

It's Spanish soldiers using German-made radios. It must be that Spanish infantrymen attend military academies in Germany. Radio signals arrive in Washington, DC from Madrid and Brandenburg. Right now I can hear someone telling me to clean something tomorrow. "Tomorrow you'll have to clean..." It's a mixture of things I should clean immediately and things I should clean the next day. It's Saturday afternoon. January 30, 2021

Marko and Adrijana Djuric have three children. Alex and Anastasia Ovechkin have two children. There are real concerns about radio technology locally. The Virginians are ethnically Prussian. It's as though normal people in Washington, DC must live as Prussians. Marko and Alex seem alright to live as married men. Marko is a diplomat and Alex plays on the hockey team. (January 30, 2021)

Myanmar

"...threats by Myanmar's military that have stirred fears of a coup..." The Washington Post is reporting on Myanmar. There have been tank battles in Vietnam. The Germans might send weaponry to Hanoi from the Gulf of Danzig. (January 30, 2021)

Washington, DC

"Ex-FBI lawyer who altered email used to survey Carter Page avoids prison" "Kevin Clinesmith gets 12 months probation after pleading guilty" "...to justify secret surveillance..." The Washington Post is reporting on the bureau. An attorney lied on a surveillance application. He's been given probation. The Virginians are German immigrants and they work for labor unions. Last summer there were labor strikes in Germany. There might be labor strikes in Virginia that have gone unreported. (January 30, 2021)

Bulgaria

"Bulgaria's road to membership in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) was the key topic of discussion during a video conference meeting on Friday between Prime Minister Boyko Borissov and OECD Deputy Secretary-General Ulrik Knudsen, the government's information service said." The Bulgarian news is reporting on the economy. Lviv, Ukraine serves as a regional hub for labor unions. Last summer there were labor strikes in Germany. (January 30, 2021)

"The specialized prosecutor's office has indicted four persons for participating in an organized criminal group for making and distributing counterfeit dollars and euros and Bulgarian ID documents. The accused have been previously detained during a police operation in January 2020. The printing facility was located in a hotel in the resort of Sunny Beach, where in 2018 a group dealing with the same illegal activity was busted by the police." The Bulgarian news is reporting on false documents. There have also been reports about false documents in China. (January 30, 2021)

Turkey

"In 1480 Mehmet the Conqueror turned his attentions against the Knights of Rhodes on their island fortress close to the Anatolian mainland. The Turkish landing was unopposed because the Grand Master d'Aubusson could not spare the manpower from the walls." This is from a book about the Ottoman empire. It's not clear about Turkish infantrymen and German radio technology. Notice the mention of infantrymen in Anatolia. (January 30, 2021)

"The Ottoman Army withdrew, but returned to Moldavia in 1476. This time the advance was supported by their vassal prince in Wallachia and from the north by the Tartars of the Ukraine." This is from a book about the Ottoman empire. Notice the mention of Ukraine. The Germans maintain airbases in Anatolia. (January 30, 2021)

Washington, DC

It's Spanish infantrymen using German-made radios. Radio signals arrive in Washington, DC from Madrid and Brandenburg. Radio transmissions combine with nanotechnology and objects are moved at long distances. It must be because Spanish soldiers attend military academies in Germany. Spanish infantrymen 'laugh fight' and 'race fight' with German hardware. "We need to show you how we fight." (January 29, 2021)

London

I'm writing about London. It bothers me that the British have so many children. British couples have more children than American couples. Wayne and Coleen Rooney have four children. Kate Middleton has three children. I'm not married and I don't have any children. The English men's national team hasn't won the World Cup since 1966. It's a culture of married couples in Great Britain. It has to be because of the labor unions. The men work for labor unions and the women are at home raising the kids. (January 29, 2021)

Brandenburg

"China has warned Taiwan that any attempt to seek independence 'means war'. The warning comes days after China stepped up its military activities and flew warplanes near the island. It also comes after new US President Joe Biden reaffirmed his commitment to Taiwan, and set out his stance in Asia." The BBC is reporting on Beijing. There are sometimes weapons garrisons near the Xiamen harbor. (January 29, 2021)

"Ajoint Turkish-Russian center to observe the cease-fire in Nagorno-Karabakh will come into operation as of Saturday, Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said on Friday." The Turkish news is reporting on the Caucasus region. It seems like there are belligerent radio signals coming from Anatolia. (January 29, 2021)

"London and Berlin are major centres of innovation and rank first and second respectively for investment, according to the latest Stockholm Fintech Guide. Based on the three-year average for 2017 to 2019, the Swedish capital ranked third in Europe." The German news is reporting on the economy. Last summer there were labor strikes in Germany. Frankfurt is the German banking district. (January 29, 2021)

Tennessee

Justin Timberlake is from Tennessee. I'm from Texas but I lived near Nashville for about six months. Fort Campbell is at the border between Tennessee and Kentucky. It's in Kentucky but many people who work at the military base live in Tennessee. Tennessee is cold in the winter. There are rivers in Tennessee with strong currents. I was walking once in Tennessee and I looked up. There were men wearing orange vests in trees waiting for deer. It's as though there aren't many deer in Tennessee to hunt. They might have been waiting for deer that would never come. (January 29, 2021)

These are photos of me and Justin Timberlake. I'm from Texas and he is from Tennessee. I live here in Washington, DC now. 1-29-21

Washington, DC

Every hour, clean something.
Every day at noon, comb my hair.
Throughout the day, drop things and fall.
At night, I wake up about every four hours.

Radio signals arrive in Washington, DC from Madrid and Brandenburg. It's Spanish soldiers using German-made hardware. The undercover agents drop stuff and fall all day. I hear commands and the commands form a queue. I drop something when I hear several commands at once or the commands are out of order. It's Friday morning. Earlier I almost dropped something when I was opening my closet.

"Do you understand? It's from Europe."

Washington, DC

I am writing about Washington, DC. I live here but I'm from Texas originally. I went to UT-Austin. There is a unique dynamic locally because the Virginians work for labor unions. The legislature is sometimes at odds with organized labor. It might be that politicians generally are capable of infidelity. The same personalities that run for office, might also be capable of infidelity. That's probably true for every legislature. There are real concerns locally about surveillance hardware. The bureau is in the newspaper about surveillance hardware. A bureau attorney lied about a surveillance application. It's as though the bureau wants to use surveillance so they can catch politicians committing acts of infidelity. There are strange happenings here with defense contractors and police buildings. The Virginians speak creole and they live in swamps. Virginia has laws that are friendly toward organized labor. It's not the same in the federal district about labor unions. And then people drive to Washington, DC from Virginia and they're still working for labor unions. The Potomac River separates the federal district from Virginia. The image is that the bureau and the Virginians cross the river and use strange surveillance devices to monitor what might not need to be monitored. (January 29, 2021)

Paris

"France says it bombed terrorists in Mali. Witnesses say it was a wedding." "French jets prepare to take off from a military base in Niamey, Niger, in 2017. This month, a French airstrike killed 30 in Mali." The Washington Post is reporting on the French military. There are concerns about warplanes and casualties. (January 29, 2021)

"The security situation in the Russian Far East is far from clear, but Moscow is aware of all the threats, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday, opening a meeting with permanent members of the Security Council." The Russian news is reporting on North Korea. There have been tank battles in North Korea. It's possible the Germans send radio signals to Pyongyang from Brandenburg. There used to be a large communications relay in East Berlin. (January 29, 2021)

Locally, here in Washington, DC the Virginians are German immigrants. They're Prussians. When they date, the woman buys dinner. I always tell people that I couldn't go out on a date with a man, if I thought I would have to buy dinner. (January 29, 2021)

Here in Washington, DC about dating.
But then Wayne's four kids.
Virginians want women to buy dinner.

"The Taliban militant group (outlawed in Russia) denies reports saying that it received offers from Russia to attack US troops in exchange for cash rewards, representative of the Taliban's political office Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanekzai told reporters on Friday." The Russian news is reporting on Kabul. There are defense contractors in Virginia who make a living coordinating military operations with the Pashtun tribesmen. The Virginians are German immigrants and they work for labor unions. (January 29, 2021)

"Police in the German city of Wagenfeld busted a gathering of about 60 people in a private residence, German news agency DPA reported this week, as quoted by Deutsche Welle." The Bulgarian news is reporting on Brandenburg. There have been complaints about the hardware used by the German security services. (January 29, 2021)

Washington, DC

David Petraeus was the DCI and he was fired essentially because he had been unfaithful to his wife. It's not clear about surveillance hardware locally. There are tales about the bureau and surveillance hardware. They might have defense contractors working in the buildings. They might work at odd hours and on the weekends. In the example of Director Petraeus, it might be that surveillance hardware was used to monitor him and his girlfriend. The Virginians are German immigrants. They seem to monitor if people date and other things of a romantic nature. If they do this using surveillance hardware it seems like graft. (January 29, 2021)

Marko Djuric

"We'll call it even Johnny 99." This is from a Bruce Springsteen song. Notice he's been given a long sentence. There are sometimes efforts to upgrade the prisons in Virginia with defense spending. (January 28, 2021)

"Put on your stockings baby because the night is getting cold." That's from 'Atlantic City' by Bruce Springsteen. Wayne and Coleen Rooney have four children. Marko and Adrijana Djuric have three children. It's strange people from Europe have so many children. "...and meet me tonight in Atlantic City." (January 28, 2021)

Ireland

Chris Evans is an actor from Boston. He went to acting school in New York City. It's a drama school affiliated with NYU. His dad was a dentist and his mom worked for a theater. He has a relative who was an elected official in Massachusetts. Mike Capuano is a politician in Massachusetts. Chris is two years older than I am. He's probably very boring because NYU is boring. Also, he is from Boston but he didn't go to school in Boston. If you met him, he would be boring to talk to. You could ask him about NYU but that would be boring to hear about. It's his relative the politician who is interesting.

"Together, Jason and Kelly bought a two-bedroom Mexican-style villa in Beverly Hills and, by Statham's account, tried to avoid the celebrity high life." This is from a biography of Jason Statham. Notice the description of his house in Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills is a neighborhood in Los Angeles, California. (January 28, 2021)

This is from a biography of Jason Statham. It's talking about 'Snatch' (2000). Notice the mention of these three American actors. It's saying that Brad Pitt played an Irish gypsy and that character was the most popular. It's famous in modern history about the trade between Warsaw and Dublin. That's remarkable if movie-goers in England watch films about Ireland. Dennis Farina is an Italian man. "While Dennis Farina and Benicio del Toro definitely enhanced the proceedings in their very different, stylish ways, it was inevitably Brad Pitt who attracted most critical attention." (January 28, 2021)

Washington, DC

"A hare has to outrun the dogs." Every day a cheetah and a gazelle wake up. It's strange here in Washington, DC because the Virginians are all on a labor strike. They live in a swamp and they speak creole. They don't read the newspaper. The Virginians are Prussians and they work as defense contractors. They don't all have a lot of formal education.

Marko Djuric

I studied the Polish language at UT-Austin. There are strange pronouns in Polish. It's as though Marko Djuric uses strange pronouns also. Marko is married to a woman named Adrijana. They have three children. Ambassador Djuric is a Serbian diplomat. It's remarkable if he thinks of himself as a man and that his wife is a woman. In Polish there are third person pronouns that have a gender. In Russian the pronouns resemble English pronouns. I, you, he, they. In Polish there are more quantity pronouns. Does Marko understand that he himself is a man and that his wife, Adrijana, is a woman linguistically? (January 28, 2021)

The Embassy of Serbia is at 2233 Wisconsin Ave NW. It's in Georgetown. Marko Djuric is the new ambassador. He went to the University of Belgrade School of Law. A few things, (1) it seems like the embassy won't schedule appointments with people who call. Residents of the District of Columbia cannot simply call the embassy and bring up issues to discuss. (2) the Twitter account seems to be updated in the afternoons instead of the mornings, (3) it's controversial about the Levant. There have been tank battles in the Levant. There might be tank driving schools near Tel Aviv. Yesterday there was a post to Twitter about Tel Aviv. (January 28, 2021)

"@markodjuric As one of #Terezin Declaration signatory countries, #Serbia was the first #European country to adopt a law on restitution of Jewish property. Today,#WeRemember and honor Jewish victims of the Holocaust and millions of other victims of Nazism. Never again. #HolocaustRemembranceDay" Marko Djuric put this on Twitter yesterday. Tel Aviv is a port on the Mediterranean Sea. There have been tank battles in the Levant. There might be tank driving schools near Tel Aviv. (January 28, 2021)

Kosovo

"The President of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, Ramush Haradinaj, stated that this unification is not connected with the agreement that should be reached with Serbia, but that it is an internal decision of Kosovo, reports Gazeta Express." The Serbian news is reporting on Kosovo. Albania, Bosnia, and Kosovo are Muslim enclaves. There might be airbases in Kosovo that manage regional trade. (January 28, 2021)

Kabul

"China still remains Uzbekistan's top trade partner. Bilateral trade between the countries amounted to $6.4bn, with the bulk of that trade favouring Beijing. While China's exports hit $4.5bn, imports from Uzbekistan amounted to $1.9bn." The Tashkent news is reporting on the Chinese economy. There have been tank battles in North Korea. It seems like the Germans send weaponry to Pyongyang from the Gulf of Danzig. (January 28, 2021)

"Kyrgyzstan's President-elect Sadyr Japarov took office as the head of state on Thursday. His inauguration ceremony was broadcast live by the country's state-run television." The Russian news is reporting on Bishkek. Herat, Afghanistan is sometimes included in maps of Iranian territory. The Tajiks speak a language that is similar to Farsi. It seems like radio signals are sent between Herat and Dushanbe. (January 28, 2021)

Washington, DC

The Virginians are Prussian immigrants and they work for labor unions.
The Hoover Building is on 9th Street NW.
It seems like there are defense contractors in the building.
They are in both the field office and the Hoover Building.
The field office is on 4th Street NW.
They are there at odd hours and on the weekends.
The newspaper reports sometimes about the bureau and surveillance hardware.
A bureau attorney lied about a surveillance application.
The Virginians might lobby to import German-made radios.
It might be that the bureau doesn't relay with accuracy what they learn.
If they view something on the surveillance hardware, they might not tell anyone.
They might not know how to adjust what they're viewing.
They're techs but they cannot build or repair the machines they use.
It's possible they think they're not supposed to tell people what they've learned.
There are accounts also that they watch movies and television with the hardware.
They might think they're supposed to view strange things with the hardware.
But regardless of what they view, they don't tell anyone what they've seen.
(January 28, 2021)

There are tales about the bureau and surveillance hardware. The Virginians are ethnically Prussian. They speak creole. They might not relay information with accuracy. The image is that there is a 'covert ops desk' and they don't talk about what they know. They work at night and on the weekends. It's not always clear what they're viewing with the surveillance hardware. If they learn something, they won't repeat it. They are defense contractors. It might be because they're German immigrants.

Turkey

"The Ottoman vanguard arrived early on 10 January 1475. It was a dark and misty morning. Held up by the fierce fighting of the Moldavian troops the Ottomans were crushed by a counterattack led by Stephen the Great later in the day." This is from a book about the Ottoman empire. Notice the mention of a counterattack. There have been tank battles in the Levant. There might be tank driving schools near Tel Aviv. (January 27, 2021)

"The force assembled at Philippopolis (Plovdiv) in May 1562, but because of Dracula's attacks on the Black Sea ports the Turkish naval involvement was minimal and they initially did little more than attack Brailla and Chilia near the Delta. The Turks then marched overland from Plovdiv and first tried to cross the Danube at Vidin, one of the few ports still left intact, but they were prevented by archery fire from disembarking on the far shore." This is from a book about the Ottoman empire. Notice the mention of Turkish infantrymen. The Germans maintain airbases in Anatolia. It's not clear about Turkish infantrymen and German radio technology. (January 27, 2021)

David Copperfield

Charles Dickens wrote 'David Copperfield'. There is a scene early in the book about people talking in London. There is a mention of a relative who had traveled to India. He'd spent all the money.

When the English live as poor people. How the mind blames immediate relatives.

Guy Ritchie

The Lowlands include Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. It might be that the Dutch have a hard time competing with the English academically. But the English sometimes live as poor people. New York City was a Dutch colony. It's a phenomenon that there are banks nearby and so a household can have very little money. It is common between the English and the Dutch about being poor. We are both sometimes desperate for money. It's different about schooling, the Dutch probably can't attend English schools. It's the same about living in poverty, the English sometimes live in true poverty. There might be no food in the house. In 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' there are scenes with Dutchmen. The film is in England with English actors. It can be enjoyable to the mind to meditate about the Lowlands. It's nice there is Dutch culture in the movie. (January 27, 2021)

Beijing

The German news is reporting on the economy. Last summer there were labor strikes in Germany. Frankfurt is the German banking district. "Presenting the annual economic report in Berlin, Economy Minister Peter Altmaier said it would take 'until the second half' of 2022 for the German economy to return to pre-pandemic levels." (January 27, 2021)

"The new administration of U.S. President Joe Biden has temporarily suspended the sale of F-35 jets to the United Arab Emirates, Bloomberg's defense reporter Anthony Capaccio said in a tweet late Wednesday. According to the journalist, the sale of munitions to Saudi Arabia is also under review." The Turkish news is reporting on Abu Dhabi. The Germans used to test warplanes in the Libyan desert. (January 27, 2021)

"China's central bank governor has signalled that the door remains open for Ant Group's stock market debut. Ant, backed by billionaire founder of e-commerce giant Alibaba Jack Ma, was set to list its shares in November. Regulators suspended the listing and the People's Bank of China later ordered a major shake-up at Alibaba." The BBC is reporting on the Chinese economy. There have been tank battles in North Korea. It seems like the Germans send weaponry to Pyongyang from Lubeck. Lubeck serves as a regional hub for German naval vessels. (January 27, 2021)

Washington, DC

Wayne and Coleen, four children.
Alex and Anastasia, two children.
Marko and Adrijana, three children.

These are people who live in Washington, DC or have lived here and they bring with them their relatives. Texas is the 'friendship state'. It's strange to me about these married couples and life with children in the house. It's a real cultural divide between east and west. I just live by myself. (January 27, 2021)

Marko Djuric

The Embassy of Serbia is at 2233 Wisconsin Ave NW. Marko Djuric is the ambassador. He went to the University of Belgrade School of Law. It's not clear if the embassy answers the telephone and schedules appointments. Logistically, it might be that residents of the District of Columbia cannot effectively communicate with the ambassador about issues. The embassy has a telephone number and an address. It seems simply that they're unwilling to schedule appointments with someone who calls. (January 27, 2021)

"#Saint Sava Day #Савиндан, #HolocaustRemembranceDay #WeRemember" I am monitoring Marko Djuric's Twitter account. Both the ambassador and the embassy have Twitter accounts. This morning the embassy tweeted twice so far. Both were about holidays. I enjoy reading about the saints. The other holiday they mentioned was Holocaust remembrance day. It's not clear about the functionality of these Twitter accounts. Ambassador Djuric studied at the University of Belgrade School of Law. I wish he'd post more on Twitter that is informative content. It's remarkable to me about Ambassador Djuric and what he puts on Twitter. He is married and he has three children. His wife went to the inauguration. He's living with these relatives. I live alone and I'm not married. (January 27, 2021)

"Before riot, D.C. Guard leader's powers diluted" "Pentagon required he get approval before sending in troops, adding to delay" "...requiring higher-level sign-off..."

Notice they said they required a higher-level sign-off. (January 27, 2021)

"Yemenis file rights case over deadly U.S. strikes" "...asserts that six drone strikes and one Special Operations raid..." The Washington Post is reporting on the Pentagon.

"Pristina and Belgrade are said to be discussing, over and over again, how to normalize their relations at least since 2006, and have agreed on many points but disagree on the most important thing that divides them: Kosovo's independence." The Serbian news is reporting on Kosovo. There might be airbases in Kosovo that manage regional trade. (January 27, 2021)

"Terminology used by Russia and the US describing the situation in Ukraine indicates serious differences of opinion but the sides are ready for a dialogue, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists on Wednesday."

The Lowlands

"Netherlands saw street riots for 3 days ending with over 500 people detained. In several cities, including the capital Amsterdam, some businesses closed early and emergency ordinances were in place to give law enforcement greater powers to respond to the rioting, which was prompted by a nighttime curfew to curb the spread of the coronavirus." The Bulgarian news is reporting on Amsterdam. There are routes to the Lowlands from the Gulf of Danzig. (January 27, 2021)

"Whatever is on the monitor they're paid to view that. It's regardless of what they're viewing, they'll watch that on the monitor. They also don't know how to adjust what they're viewing. They're techs, but they cannot repair or build the machines that they use. And they do this every day. They're in the buildings at night and on the weekends. It's police buildings and defense contractors using surveillance hardware." (January 27, 2021)

There are reports about the bureau and surveillance hardware. It's possible they view what's on the monitor. A few things, (1) they might not always be able to adjust what they're viewing, (2) they might think of it as viewing the monitor regardless of what they're viewing, (2) it's been said the bureau watches movies and television shows using surveillance hardware. Also, it's an image that they do this daily and so they're supposed to do it. The Virginians are German immigrants and they work for labor unions. They might be on a labor strike and they just haven't reported it.

Marko Djuric is the Serbian ambassador here in Washington, DC. He's been here about a month. He studied at the University of Belgrade School of Law. He updates Twitter in the afternoons instead of the mornings. He has a wife and three children. It might be that he doesn't work much. Both Ambassador Djuric and the embassy have separate Twitter accounts.

The bureau uses surveillance hardware.
The newspaper sometimes reports on the Hoover Building and surveillance hardware.
There are reports of misconduct.
For example, a bureau attorney lied about a surveillance application.
There might be defense contractors who operate the sureveillance hardware.
They might be in the building at night and on the weekends.
It's been said they don't always know how to adjust what they're viewing.
It might be that they watch movies, television shows, and sports using the hardware.
There are accounts about pharmeceuticals when they're using surveillance hardware.
The Virginians are German immigrants and they work for labor unions.
Last summer there were labor strikes in Germany.
There might be labor strikes also in Virginia.
The bureau might behave as though they're not supposed to adjust what they're viewing.
It's an image that they're paid to view whatever is on the screen.
They might be techs, but they cannot build or repair the machines they use.
It seems strange about the long hours and viewing things on a monitor.

It is from Boston. Conceptually, every day each person wakes up. It becomes evident the differences between the people. That is a New England lifestyle. "And the hare has to outrun the dogs." There is a scene in 'Snatch' like that.

I think it's bad judgement because not all political appointments are well liked. Joe Biden is 78 years old. He seems too old to be the president. Nikola Selakovic and Marko Djuric are attorneys.

The Virginians are German immigrants. There are tales that they like to keep secrets. For example, if they know something about labor unions and labor strikes they won't say anything.

There are swamps in Virginia. The Hoover Building is on 9th Street NW in Washington, DC. It's been said that they're in there watching movies and television shows with surveillance hardware. Either they don't know they're not supposed to. It's possible they don't know how to adjust what they're viewing. The undercover agents might not be able to enter the field office or the Hoover Building. Also, the undercovers might not get a salary.

But he has to drive into the city to play the games.
It's hard on the city that the team doesn't win more.

It seems like a statistical anomaly that he's won so few Stanley Cup tournaments.
It's possible they really cannot win because the players live in Arlington County.
(For comparison, John Wooden won ten national championships as the head coach of the UCLA men's basketball team. Ovechkin has a single title. In terms of statistics, it's strange that Ovechkin doesn't win more.)

"The key area of trade concerned economic credits, providing much-needed food, but some weapons arrived by means of unofficial channels through neighbouring countries. This relationship, though, suffered some setbacks, particularly the mistaken attack on the USS Stark by an Iraqi warplane firing Exocet missiles which killed 37 sailors in 1987; and, by 1990, the Bush administration had serious doubts as to whether the agricultural credits were being used to help the Iraqi population or to support the Iraqi military machine."

This is from a book about the Gulf War. Notice the mention of chemical munitions. The Virginians are German immigrants and they work for labor unions. It's not clear about infantry deployments in proximity to chemical munitions. The army reported sleeplessness and anxiety. It was called Gulf War syndrome. (January 23, 2021)

Marko Djuric

[@markodjuric Ambitious plans ahead for Serbia-US economic cooperation! Looking forward to working together with the US Department of Commerce & CDAS De Falco and his team @CommerceGov on boosting economic, trade, and investment opportunities in Serbia!] Marko Djuric put this on Twitter today. David De Falco works for the United States Department of Commerce. (January 23, 2021)

Today I went back to Ambar at the Clarendon location which is in Arlington, Virginia. It's a Balkan cuisine restaurant. I had the tomato soup again. Yesterday I had the same thing. They only have two soups, tomato and veal. I asked if they ever have meat soups other than veal and they said no. There are at least three Serbian men who work there and a Bulgarian. I asked each of them if they spoke Russian. The Serbians said that they don't. I think that's strange because Serbian and Russian are similar languages. Marko Djuric is the new Serbian ambassador here in Washington, DC. He eats there. (January 23, 2021)

Washington, DC

The image is that there are three children in the living room. And Wayne thinks Coleen should have another baby. It means that he has lost his mind. It's his children in the living room.

I played soccer when I was younger. There aren't any children in my living room.

Marko and Andrijana, three children.
Alex and Anastasia, two children.

It's not the religion of the Church of England that people are married and they are parents. It's unsettling that these people from the Slavic world have so many children. It's as though Marko and Alex aren't capable of living as single individuals. They require a wife and for their wife to have children. (January 23, 2021)

"Buy me a star on the boulevard it's Californication" That's from a Red Hot Chili Peppers song. Wayne Rooney has four children. The English men's national team hasn't won the World Cup since 1966. Alex Ovechkin is married and he is a parent. He's won one Stanley Cup with the Washington Capitals. It's strange they kind of stop being athletes and they get married. (January 23, 2021)

I follow these Twitter accounts. Marko Djuric tweets the least often. He is the new Serbian ambassador here in Washington, DC. I think he should put at least one tweet up every day. He sometimes doesn't tweet for a day or two days. The other accounts are the Uzbekistan embassy here in Washington, DC and the ambassador from Tashkent. Those accounts tweet every day. It's not clear why Ambassador Djuric doesn't use the Twitter account more often. He is an attorney. He studied law at the University of Belgrade.

"State media: Family killed in Israeli strike" "Syrian state media said Israeli warplanes fired several missiles toward central Syria early Friday..." The Washington Post is reporting on Tel Aviv. There have been airstrikes in Syria. There might be military research facilities in the Syrian desert. There have been tank battles in the Levant. (January 23, 2021)

"Border restrictions are a matter for individual member states but France and Germany plus EU officials in Brussels have been pushing for a coordinated response after the travel chaos that occurred during the first wave of the pandemic in spring 2020." The German news is reporting on border restrictions. Frankfurt is the German banking district. There have been complaints about the hardware used by the German security services. (January 23, 2021)

"China's coast guard has been authorized to fire on foreign vessels and destroy structures on features Beijing claims, potentially raising the possibility of clashes with regional maritime rivals." The Turkish news is reporting on the Chinese military. Notice that they're able to fire on foreign vessels. (January 23, 2021)

"China falling short of US trade deal targets" "China agreed to buy the goods in a trade deal with the US agreed last January in exchange for reduced tariffs on $120bn worth of goods. The agreement was seen as phase one of a deal aimed at resolving the trade war between the world's biggest economies." The BBC is reporting on the Chinese economy. Notice that they haven't met the conditions of a trade deal. (January 23, 2021)

"Issues of international security and arms control were in focus of a telephone conversation between Russian and Belarusian Foreign Ministers, Sergey Lavrov and Vladimir Makey, the press service of the Belarusian foreign ministry said on Friday." The Russian news is reporting on Minsk. It seems like the government in Minsk imported German-made radios that they use for policing. (January 23, 2021)

Washington, DC

"It's Friday evening. Radio signals arrive in Washington, DC from Madrid and Brandenburg. It's Spanish soldiers using German-made hardware. I worked all day in Arlington, Virginia. When I left work I put on my headphones. I heard commands about which song to listen to. The undercover agents in Washington, DC hear commands. The commands form a queue and then commands are given out of order. I drop something or fall when I hear several commands or the commands come out of order. Today I heard commands about which songs on my playlist to listen to. The image is that Spanish infantrymen in Madrid consider which songs I should select on my playlist as I walk home from work. It must be that Spanish infantrymen study at German military academies." (January 22, 2021)

Turkey

"Bayezid's response was to assemble his troops, drawing large numbers of vassal soldiers out of the Balkans and suspending the long siege of Constantinople just at the point when his blockade was beginning to show some effect." This is from a book about the Ottoman empire. Notice the mention of infantrymen. The Germans maintain airbases in Turkey. (January 22, 2021)

"Such far reaching plans required a secure base, so Bayezid I began his military career with a series of operations to confirm Ottoman influence and domination in Anatolia and the Balkans." This is from a book about the Ottoman empire. Notice the mention of Anatolia and the Balkans. Bosnia trades in mark. It's controversial generally about German trade through Bosnia. (January 22, 2021)

Today I went to the Balkan cuisine restaurant in Arlington, Virginia. I asked if they knew Marko Djuric, the Serbian ambassador. They said they know him and he comes in regularly. The restaurant is called Anbar and it's on Wilson Boulevard. (January 22, 2021)

"Then He Kissed Me" is a song in 'Goodfellas'. It's a Martin Scorsese movie about New York City. Ray Liotta is from New Jersey. He plays Henry Hill in the movie. The Virginians are German immigrants. They work for labor unions and they speak in a regional dialect. There are swamps in Virginia. Many people arrived in Virginia from Prussia in the early nineteenth century. They lobby to import German-made radios. The Virginians resemble Prussian people. (January 22, 2021)

There are routes to Ireland from Poland. I studied the Polish language in college. Polish has strange pronouns. Polish pronouns are sometimes gender specific. British English sounds like Polish to me. Sometimes the British government people behave as Prussians also. I live here in Washington, DC. It's remarkable if both the Virginians and the British behave as Prussian people. (January 22, 2021)

"NATO leader says Europe, U.S. 'need to rebuild trust'" The Washington Post is reporting on NATO. The Virginians are German immigrants and they work for labor unions. It seems like the Virginians lobby to import German-made radios. (January 22, 2021)

"Marko Djuric for B92.net: The inauguration was dignified; We will fight for Serbia. Serbian Ambassador to Washington Marko Djuric says exclusively for B92.net that the inauguration of US President Joe Biden was very dignified." The Serbian news is reporting on Ambassador Djuric. I am monitoring his Twitter account. It looks like yesterday he gave this interview but he didn't put anything on Twitter. The inauguration was Wednesday. Today is Friday. I think he should put something up on Twitter every day. Yesterday neither Marko or the US Serbian embassy posted on Twitter. (January 22, 2021)

"Despite the uncertain situation in the global economy and the external pressure exerted at Minsk, Belarus will not "fall to its knees" anyway, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said, according to BelTA report."

"The British coronavirus variant is already in Bulgaria and will start gaining momentum, this country's health authorities warned at the regular weekly briefing of the National Coronavirus Headquarters. For now, it is sure that after January 31, when the emergency epidemic situation expires, only measures regarding the return of students from the upper grades and the opening of gyms will be relaxed." The Bulgarian news is reporting on London. It's famous about the trade between Warsaw and Dublin. It's not well understood about trade between Warsaw and London. (January 22, 2021)

The Bulgarian news is reporting on energy issues. There were labor strikes in Germany last summer. There are complaints about the hardware used by the German security services. "Parliament on Thursday passed conclusively amendments to the Energy Act to scrap spinning reserve auctions. Under the provisions, the Electricity System Operator will secure the necessary reserves by concluding contracts for ancillary services on a market principle following an auction."

I am monitoring three Twitter accounts. Marko Djuric, Serbian Embassy US, and MFA Serbia. Marko and Serbian Embassy US did not Tweet anything today. Ambassador Djuric has only been here a month. The Serbian embassy is in Georgetown on Wisconsin Ave NW. Nikola Selakovic is the new Serbian foreign minister. MFA Serbia tweeted three times today. It's possible that the embassy here in Washington, DC should put at least one tweet up every day. I think there shouldn't be a workday when they don't update their Twitter account. (January 21, 2021)

William didn't go to Oxford. William flew a helicopter when he was in the army.

Kosovo

"Bayezid dealt with his rivals with great efficiency and annexed what remained of the ghazi beyliks of western Anatolia. In the Balkans matters went slowly but steadily. Bosnia held out until 1391." This is from a book about the Ottoman empire. Notice the mention of Bosnia. Bosnia trades in mark. It's controversial generally about German trade through Bosnia. (January 21, 2021)

"Murad was the first Ottoman ruler to adopt the title of Sultan, a status confirmed solely by his military prestige, but Beyazid assumed the role in a new legal sense as the legitimate wielder of power in his domains. He was the most ambitious of the Ottoman leaders thus far. The confident Bayezid also diverged from the policy of his ancestors in his determination to wage war on rival Turkish principalities in Anatolia as vigorously as he did against infidels." This is from a book about the Ottoman empire. Notice that Murad was the first Sultan. (January 21, 2021)

"The resulting armed clash was the famous battle of Kosovo, fought in June 1389, an encounter that still has tremendous significance in Balkan politics today. Among all the legends about the battle and its aftermath three facts stand out." This is from a book about the Ottoman empire. Notice the mention of Kosovo. It seems like there are airbases in Kosovo that manage regional trade. (January 21, 2021)

Georgetown

I'm from Texas. I don't really like going to art museums. A few weeks ago I visited my friend who lives in Georgetown. I met her on the street and we talked about having lunch. While we were walking she suggested that we stop in the art museum on Wisconsin Ave. It's because she was being polite. I went inside and thought to myself that I rarely or never visit art museums. My point is that people on the east coast often visit art museums. In Texas we don't as much. I actually don't like art museums and I always try to leave early if I go there with other people. (January 21, 2021)

Washington, DC

The Virginians get married late in life. They often work for labor unions. Virginians also live together when they're not married. I am opposed to couples living together if they're not married. I'm an Episcopalian. Virginia is the Commonwealth of Virginia and there are laws there friendly toward labor unions. It's hard for young people to live as a married couple if they're not married. You wonder if they'd choose to live like that if it wasn't for financial reasons. Young people should be working and in school. They might live together and split the rent, but they're not married and so it's not clear about work and school.

There are concerns about age-appropriate behavior and the army. Sometimes soldiers seem too old to be deployed. Recently an American infantryman was arrested in Venezuela. He seemed too old to be deployed on a secretive mission. (January 21, 2021)

London

It seems like British men don't use condoms when they have sex. It might be because of the labor unions. I live here in Washington, DC. There are sometimes comments from the British about contraception. It might be acceptable in Great Britain to have sex without condoms. (January 21, 2021)

Washington, DC

Spanish infantrymen use what they call 'robotics'.
German-made hardware
Radio transmissions
Nanotechnology
Long distance signals
Objects are moved at long distances
For example, a teacup in Washington, DC can fall off a table from a radio signal sent from Madrid.
In Washington, DC the US Congress has complained about robocalls.
Robocalls seem to be related to robotics
At CalTech in Los Angeles they build robots
Robots are likely energy inefficient
Not all engineering schools have robotics departments
The US Army more than the other service branches use robots

In the modern age, it's not clear the complaint coming from London. Because they have three and four children per couple and they travel frequently to the developing world. Usually they don't have a complaint. From the perspective of Washington, DC, most Americans don't have as many children and we don't travel as much. For example, I've never been to Canada. It's not really obvious there are things in London to complain about. (January 21, 2021)

Dublin, Manchester, London, and Arlington are labor union cities. The Virginians locally seem to enforce Prussian values as laws relating to the defense budget. It might be Polish immigrants in London who work within the defense apparatus. I wonder about Irish Catholicism and the Virginians. It seems like the British tell the Virginians it's alright to be Prussians. It is a phenomenon here in Washington, DC that people live as Prussians. It might be true also in Great Britain because of trade with Poland. (January 21, 2021)

From Washington, DC looking toward London. Dublin, Ireland is a port. There are routes to Dublin from Lubeck, Germany. Warsaw and Lubeck seem to be labor union cities. In London there are banks. It's not clear about the British government and the banks. There are labor unions in Ireland. It might be that there are labor unions in Manchester and London. The British government might be slow to respond to threats because the banks allow them to live comfortably. The response time of the British seems to reflect the fact that there are banks there. It's not predictable what the British will respond to.

As they live by the bank, the British are slow to respond.
It's not predictable how or when the British will respond to threats.

It's not clear how these players from Scandinavia and the former Czechoslovakia arrived on the Capitals roster. It might be German radio technology. But four Russian players were fined. The rest of the team are either Americans, Canadians, or they come from Sweden, Denmark, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. It's obvious there should be players from Canada. It's not always clear how many players should come from European countries. They act like they're on a labor strike. Don't they have relatives in the German infantry? (January 21, 2021)

[Jonas Siegenthaler, Michal Kempny, Jakub Vrana, Vitek Vanecek, Lars Eller, Daniel Sprong, Dmitry Orlov, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Alex Ovechkin, Ilya Samsonov, Zdeno Chara, Richard Panik, Nicklas Backstrom, Carl Hagelin] These players are listed on the Capitals roster. Four of them are from Russia. The others are from Scandinavia and the former Czechoslovakia. The team loses in the early rounds of the playoffs and they players spend the summer months in Europe.

When Wayne Rooney was here, he visited the Capitals' locker room. He made a big deal about meeting with Alex Ovechkin. Tom Wilson is from Toronto. He's #43 a right winger. He was drafted out of the Toronto Youth Hockey League. Tom Wilson is likely the greatest living hockey player in the sense that he's the best that has come from Toronto. The image that Wayne walked past Tom to meet with Alex. (January 21, 2021)

The Washington Post is reporting on the Capitals. There are problems on the team about the players from Scandinavia and the Czech Republic. It seems like the team loses in the early rounds of the playoffs so they can spend the summer months in Europe. Also, during the season the players seem sluggish and not wanting to win. For example, Jakub Vrana is a left winger from Prague. Lars Eller is from Denmark. (January 21, 2021)

Players are prohibited from practicing or playing while on the list, and they can be taken off the list at any time. In addition to Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Dmitry Orlov and Ilya Samsonov were placed on the protocols list and the team was fined $100,000 for the violations, which the league said 'involved social interactions among team members who were in close contact and who were not wearing face coverings.'" The Washington Post is reporting on the Washington Capitals. Ovechkin is from Moscow. It's been said that the team loses in the early rounds of the playoffs so they can spend the summer months in Europe. There are several players on the team from Scandinavia and the Czech Republic.

Spanish infantrymen send radio signals to Washington, DC. They call it robotics. Radio signals combine with nanotechnology. They laugh fight and race fight with German-made radios. "I drop stuff and fall all day." The bureau might not pay the undercover agents and they won't let them into the buildings. There are reports in the newspaper about the bureau and surveillance hardware. It's famous about the East German swim team. It seems like the East German swim team here in Washington, DC. The Virginians are Prussians. They're strange about women in police buildings. (January 21, 2021)

Syria

"At least 28 people have been killed in a terrorist attack on Thursday in the center of Baghdad, Al-Arabiya TV channel informed, adding that at least 73 people have been injured." The Russian news is reporting on Iraq. There are reports about chemical munitions in Syria. There might be military research facilities in the Syrian desert. (January 21, 2021)

Washington, DC

In the 1990's it was called Gulf War Syndrome. It's possible that German radio technology is responsible for the symptoms. In the 1950's there was frostbite. The infantry reported frostbite. Additionally, there were infantrymen that provided detailed descriptions of POW camps in North Korea. The guards had different things that they did. They'd move them. Sometimes the food was putrid. In the 1960's there were POW camps and Agent Orange. Agent Orange is a chemical that was made by DOW chemicals. There have been tank battles in both North Korea and Vietnam. It might be German tanks in both places. More recently there are accounts about Spanish infantrymen using German-made radios to send long distance signals. They call it robotics. It's radio signals combined with nanotechnology. "I drop stuff and fall all day." Objects can be moved at long distances. Here in Washington, DC, radio signals arrive from Madrid and Brandenburg. (January 21, 2021)

Washington, DC

"So confused had been the state of Albania that its rulers were used to calling in foreign troops to aid them against internal rivals, and so it was that the lord of Durazzo called upon the Ottomans as allies in 1385. The price was vassaldom and when the fortresses of Croia and Scutari fell to Murad I he handed them over to his loyal Albanian followers." This is from a book about the Ottoman empire. Notice the mention of Albania. There are strategic ports and railroads in Albania. It's controversial generally about German trade through the Balkans. (January 21, 2021)

Spanish soldiers 'laugh fight' and 'race fight'. "We have to show you how we fight." They use German-made radios. At night they race fight and during the day they laugh fight. In the 1990's there were reports about Gulf War Syndrome. It's possible that these symptoms resulted from German radio technology. Radio signals are combined with nanotechnology and objects are moved at long distances. Americans complained about sleeplessness and anxiety. It might be that Spanish soldiers would 'laugh fight' and 'race fight' with the Americans. There are accounts about infantrymen in Afghanistan firing their weapons without aiming them. That might be a variation of laugh fight. Madrid and Brandenburg seem to coordinate within their military academies. It's possible Spanish soldiers learn at the military academies to laugh fight and race fight.

Turkey

"The Ottomans were the first state to maintain a standing army in Europe since Roman times - paid, fed and unleashed through unsurpassable feats of organisation. When they marched on Persia in 1548 they were so well provisioned that they could cheerfully ignore the scorched earth landscape created by the Shah." This is from a book about the Ottoman empire. Notice the mention of the Turkish infantry. It seems like belligerent radio signals are coming from Anatolia. (January 20, 2021)

"Casual raiding became a less frequent occupation as the empire grew and by the time of the battle of Mohacs in 1526, the akinji were well accustomed to being employed for penetrating enemy territory ahead of the main Ottoman Army. They would secure bridges and take prisoners for interrogation." This is from a book about the Ottoman empire. Notice the mention of prisons and interrogations. The Germans maintain airbases in Anatolia. (January 20, 2021)

"Every mountain pass had its guards and every road had a military destination. It was a commitment that stretched to the very top of Ottoman society. At the siege of Baghdad in 1683, when the Persians demanded that the contest be decided by single combat, Sultan Mehmet IV took on the task himself and killed the Persian champion." This is from a book about the Ottoman empire. Notice the mention of Baghdad. It's not clear about how Baghdad can defense its ports from the Turkish military. (January 20, 2021)

There is a real falling out between Washington, DC and London. It's about marriages and the workplace. British couples have more children than American couples. I think the workplace in England benefits married people. That's not the religion of the Church of England. When I meet people from Great Britain, the dispute is that married people make higher salaries. The Americans can allege that the schools over there are struggling. Salaries should reflect education and experience. The British have salaries that reflect education, experience, and marital status. It should be taken seriously about this dispute. "The Americans aren't married. We don't have any kids." (January 20, 2021)

"His post quickly captured the attention of social media users - and it wasn't long before domestic media outlets found the children's birth certificates, which showed they were born in the US to two separate women in late 2019 and early 2020. What's more, Ms Zheng was listed as their mother - which surprised some, as the actress has never been seen in public visibly pregnant." The BBC is reporting on Beijing. Notice there are reports about false documents. (January 20, 2021)

"The defense agreements and cooperation between Ukraine and Turkey help to modernize and bring Ukraine's post-Soviet military systems up to NATO standards, Ukrainian officials said Wednesday." The Turkish news is reporting on Kiev. The Germans maintain airbases in Anatolia. It seems like there are belligerent radio signals coming from Anatolia. (January 20, 2021)

"On Tuesday, Chancellor Angela Merkel and Germany's 16 state premiers called on companies to allow working from home whenever possible. The ordinance, set to be in place until March 15th, was passed in part to relieve congestion on public transportation, especially during peak travel times." The German news is reporting on the economy. Frankfurt is the German banking district. It's not clear exactly how much of the German economy is tied to organized labor. (January 20, 2021)

In Afghanistan it's said that the infantrymen fire their machine guns without aiming. They do it because they think the bullets will be guided. It might be that the Spanish infantry participates in military training there. Madrid and Brandenburg seem to coordinate within their military academies.

I looked at the WomanTreaty website and I don't know if they have an office here in Washington, DC. They might. It's possible that the meeting was held remotely. The Serbian embassy is at 2233 Wisconsin Ave NW #410. About the organization, it is famous about Eastern Europe and domestic violence. I think that is related to Orthodox Christianity. I'm an Episcopalian. I'm not married. It might be the American view that people can get a divorce. If I did have a response to the ambassador, domestic violence is kind of European. American women can just move out of the house and get a job. Americans are unforgiving of domestic violence victims, because the solution is about financial independence. (January 20, 2021)

If there are three men from England, they won't say anything. The stereotype about the British is that they don't talk at all. If the American is there and there is a British person, the American talks more.

I struggle with the British because they seem to be married and I'm not married. It's weird to hear them talk about being married. I never know what to say to them.

There was a story in the news about Ireland. There was a woman who gave birth to a baby but the woman died during childbirth. The newspaper said that the doctor kind of chose the baby instead of the mom. It was a decision made by the hospital because they could only save one of them. I read that story when I was in Texas. When I meet someone from Ireland, I wonder about moms and delivery room physicians.

Today I walked to the Embassy of Serbia from Dupont Circle. Go west on Q Street and then north on Wisconsin Ave NW from Dupont Circle. It's at 2233 Wisconsin Ave NW #410. I took a photo of the outside of the building. Ambassador Marko Djuric went to the University of Belgrade School of Law. I went to Saint Petersburg State Polytechnic Institute. (January 19, 2021)

"We do not want you to laugh fight at your own agents."
Laugh fight resembles the East German swim team.
The Virginians might laugh fight and race fight with radios.
They seem to lobby to import German-made radios.
(January 19, 2021)

Locally there are defense contractors. The Virginians are Prussians. It's possible there are similar issues locally to the East German swim team. Radio signals arrive in Washington, DC from Madrid and Brandenburg.

The Spanish infantry 'laugh fights' and 'race fights' with radios.
They use German-made radios.
The Virginians might laugh fight and race fight with radios.
"We need to show you how we fight."

An example of laugh fight is that we're both working on the same project.
Also, in Afghanistan sometimes they fire machine guns without aiming them.

Marko Djuric is the Serbian ambassador here in Washington, DC. He studied at the University of Belgrade School of Law. I studied at Saint Petersburg State Polytechnic Institute. Marko might not be a hero of Russia. (January 19, 2021)

I studied at Saint Petersburg State Polytechnic Institute. That is where Mendeleev studied. Mendeleev invented the periodic table of elements. I lived on Ligovsky Prospect which is near Ploshad Vostania. That means 'insurrection square'. It's near the Moscow train station. There is a sign above the train station that says, "Leningrad Hero City". The Russian generals during tsarist times lived on that street. I lived in an apartment that specifically a general had lived in with his family. And then I took the metro to the institute which is in the north of the city. (January 19, 2021)

There are accounts about lunacy in Europe. In ancient times there was lunacy in Madrid. The Roman emperors didn't always visit Spain. In modern times there are similar accounts. The Spanish seem to 'laugh fight' and 'race fight' with radios. They use German-made radios. It's not well understood generally how the Spanish infantry interacts with foreign armies. (January 19, 2021)

The Germans have developed radios that can send long distance transmissions. It might be that the radio signals send strange messages. For example, the East German swim team is famous. There are accounts about the infantry and anxiety as well as sleeplessness. It might be Prussian signals about behavior. The radio signals come from Prussia. They include commands to behave as Prussians. (January 19, 2021)

Farah Pahlavi wrote memoirs. There are strange accounts about their wedding. It's as though the French gave the couple guidance about their wedding night. I always ask the British if William and Kate resemble Reza Shah and Farah Pahlavi. It's a sense of strange about intimacy and dating. (January 19, 2021)

I studied at Saint Petersburg State Polytechnic Institute. The Virginians are like Catherine II's husband. They're Prussians. There are routes to Ireland from Poland. It's famous about the trade between Dublin and Warsaw. It seems like it's bad for the infantry about the labor unions in Virginia. It's not clear about Polish and German bases in Ireland. Dublin is a large city. (January 19, 2021)

Commands consistently
Commands that form a queue
Multiple commands at the same time and I'll drop something or fall

It's Spanish soldiers using German-made radios. These radio signals arrive in Washington, DC from Madrid and Brandenburg. I hear these commands kind of at all times. The radios are used for internal security and to control infantry movements. (January 19, 2021)

Radio signals arrive in Washington, DC from Madrid and Brandenburg. A few things, (1) Spanish infantrymen seem to study at German military academies, (2) they use German-made radios, (3) the Germans sometimes trade weaponry through Spanish ports which results in inflation, (4) the radio signals are combined with nanotechnology. Objects can be moved at long distances.

"This morning I got up at 6:30am. It's Tuesday. When I was checking my phone I heard two commands at the same time and I dropped something else that was in my hand. I hear commands and the commands form a queue. I drop something or fall when I hear several commands or the commands come out of order. It's Spanish soldiers using German-made radios."

I think the Pentagon is in trouble because they use drones for domestic surveillance too much. The newspaper is talking about Pentagon attorneys.

President Vucic: Serbia is the first in Europe in terms of growth
Belgrade, 12 January 2021 - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic pointed out that Serbia is the first in Europe in terms of economic growth, which will be officially confirmed at the end of March, and that this was possible owing to the reform measures taken since 2014 and the rapid opening of the country after the first wave of corona virus.
The President pointed out that Serbia had a growth of 5.2 percent in the first quarter, while the Eurozone was at minus 3.2 percent, in the second quarter Serbia had a minus of 6.3 percent, while the Eurozone was at minus 14.7 percent, and in the third quarter, when the Eurozone was at minus 4.3 percent, Serbia's figure was only minus 1.4 percent. Vucic stated that Montenegro, for example, recorded as much as 26 percent minus in the third quarter.


Ambassador Djuric: We have a real chance to raise bilateral ties with the US to perhaps the highest level in history
Washington, D.C, 7 January 2021 - I hope that we have passed a critical point in our relations with the United States, where Serbia has confirmed itself as a constructive international factor, a responsible state, a guardian of regional stability and a growing economy - said Serbian Ambassador to the United States Marko Djuric
Could the change of the US administration shake relations between Belgrade and Washington, which had taken an upward path in recent months, how will Biden's victory reflect on the Kosovo issue, what is happening with the Washington agreement and how will friendly ties and cooperation between Serbia and the US be strengthened? We spoke about these and other current topics with the ambassador of Serbia to the United States Marko Djuric who, in an interview with Telegraf.rs, summarized the year behind us and revealed the plans for the coming period.

Drew Brees

Drew Brees lost last night. The Saints lost to Tampa 30-20. He is from Austin, Texas. He's got four kids. He set a record for passing yards a few years ago. I fault him for not winning more. He didn't go to UT-Austin. He went to Purdue in Indiana. I think he won one Super Bowl in 2010. Troy Aikman won three. It would have been nice for Drew Brees to have won last night. It's like the City of Austin has four kids because Drew Brees has four kids. He's from the suburbs, he went to Westlake High School. Westlake, Texas is a suburb of Austin. (January 18, 2021)

I have a hard time here in Washington, DC about the British. British couples have three and four children. British English seems like Polish. It's famous about the trade between Warsaw and Dublin. They talk about their wives and kids. I'm not married and I don't have any children. I'm 37 and I'm from Texas. I listen to the British talk about their wife and their kids. (January 18, 2021)

Ukraine

"In practice, however, training and replacement battalions were routinely used by the Germans as reserve forces and were thus utilized in battle at crisis points." This is from a book about German tank operations in Ukraine in 1943. Notice how the Germans strategize within tank warfare. (January 18, 2021)

"The Germans were handicapped by the need to use forward-slope positions due to the alignment of the ridgelines in the center, relative to the river. The three ridges across from Dmitrievka were not parallel to the Mius but instead stretched diagonally to the northwest. Because of this terrain configuration, the Germans were required to utilize many forward-slope positions in order to man a relatively straight line of defense and deny easy access to the Olkhovchik and Gerassimova Valleys." This is from a book about German tank operations in Ukraine in 1943. Notice the description of the alignment of the ridgelines. (January 17, 2021)

Dante's Inferno

This is from Dante's Inferno. Notice that the main character faints because he has a heard a sound. The sound is wailing voices. It's about literature and sounds we hear. "There, barring their way, is the hideous figure of Minos, the bestial judge of Dante's underworld; but after strong words from Virgil, the poets are allowed to pass into the dark space of this circle, where can be heard the wailing voices...the Pilgrim asks to speak to two figures he sees together." "At the end of the scene, the Pilgrim, who has been overcome by pity for the lovers, faints to the ground." (January 17, 2021)

"The souls here, including Virgil, suffer no physical torment, but they must live, in desire, without hope of seeing God." "As they come closer to the light, the Pilgrim perceives a splendid castle where the greatest non-Christian thinkers dwell together with other famous historical figures." "But soon they must leave; and the poets move from the radiance of the castle toward the fearful encompassing darkness." This is from Dante's Inferno. There are different images of daylight. Conceptually, we might get up early in the morning. It reminds of the Protestant work ethic. There are ethical discussions having to do with the time of day that we work. Farmers might have to get up early. It pertains to what we do for a living sometimes about daylight hours. (January 17, 2021)

This is from Dante's Inferno. Notice the mention of him walking and losing his balance. Also, they meet a boatman at the River Acheron.
Terrified at being alone in so dismal a valley, he wanders until he comes to a hill bathed in sunlight, and his fear begins to leave him. But when he starts to climb the hill his path is blocked by three fierce beasts: first a LEOPARD, then a LION, and finally a SHE-WOLF that fills him with fear and drives him back down to the sunless wood.
The Pilgrim recognizes several of these shades but mentions none by name. Next they come to the River Acheron where they are greeted by the infernal boatman CHARON. Among those doomed souls who are to be ferried across the river, Charon sees the living man and challenges him, but Virgil lets it be known that his companion must pass. Then across the landscape rushes a howling wind which blasts the Pilgrim out of his senses, and he falls to the ground.
Turn itself back to rebehold the pass which never yet a living person left. After my weary body I had rested, the way resumed I on the desert slope, so that the firm foot ever was the lower. And lo! Almost where the ascent began, a panther light and swift exceedingly, which with a spotted skin was covered o'er! And never moved she from before my face, nay, rather did impede so much my way, that many times I to return had turned.

Washington, DC

It's the British army, the intelligence community, and the embassy. With my own self, I will always hope they close down the British embassy here in Washington, DC. It's because of Coleen Rooney having four kids. I don't like that the Americans had to watch William's wedding and then Kate had three kids. I don't like that the army has tattoos. The British embassy here in Washington, DC isn't well liked. It's St. Andrews and Kate's kids. I kind of can't do it. (January 17, 2021)

England

I am from Texas. I went to UT-Austin. Wayne Rooney is famous in Texas. He says that he played in a tournament in Dallas when he was little. It might be that the media followed his career even since then. It's also famous in Texas that Wayne Rooney is friends with Ricky Hatton. Ricky Hatton was born in Manchester, England in 1978. Wayne is younger. I'm 37. Wayne is younger than I am. I am reading that Ricky Hatton has a longtime cocaine addiction. He has three children. Wayne has four children. I don't have any children.

"Former WBA light welterweight champion Ricky Hatton of Manchester, England tearfully confessed to a year-long addiction to cocaine. In his heart-to-heart talk with his fiancee Jeniffer Dooley, Hatton admitted being addicted to cocaine which is considered in UK as class A drug. The British boxing icon has promised he will enter a rehab clinic next week. Hatton was caught on video snorting cocaine during a binge drinking session in Manchester, England. The former welterweight king has reportedly been struggling with life outside the ring. His devastating loss to Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao over a year ago marked the beginning of his involvement in drugs and alcohol." This is about Ricky Hatton. Notice it says that he's been addicted to drugs. Hatton was born in Manchester, England in 1978. (January 17, 2021)

Virginia

"Every hour I hear a command about cleaning. Every day at noon I hear a command to brush my hair. It's Spanish soldiers using German-made radios. The Virginians are ethnically Prussian. Germans clean once a day. They have some habit about a cleaning chore they'll do around the house every day. That is a German pace and lifestyle. It seems like the Virginians are on a general strike. The Virginians seem to lobby to import German-made radios. The newspaper has been reporting that the Pentagon is nonresponsive to press queries, for example. It's not really clear why the Spanish infantry is sending radio messages to Washington, DC. It must be also that Spanish infantrymen attend German military academies. Consistently, every hour I hear a command to clean something. Once a day I hear a command to brush my hair." (January 17, 2021)

EITHER play sports OR clean every day.
Virginians don't play sports but they clean every day.
Texans play sports and they clean once a week.

Many people arrived in Virginia from Prussia in the early nineteenth century.

Georgetown

I am writing about the British. I know three people, they're all men. Eliot lives in Texas. Randy is a Virginian. James is a British national who lives in Georgetown. Eliot went to my high school. Years ago I would go over to his house over the holidays. The family sits as a group and slowly opens each present. It's a pace that made me nauseous. Every gift would be slowly unwrapped and discussed. And then we would move on to the next gift. It would take hours to open all the gifts. I sometimes think about those days and I get nauseous thinking about sitting for so long. Eliot's relatives has immigrated to Houston from Stuttgart, Germany. Randy is my uncle, he married my dad's sister. He's originally from Warm Springs, Virginia. He went to UVA for medical school. When I visit them I get the sense that people are required to do strange chores around the house. It's as though the kids get to live there so long as they do strange chores. The household divides up the chores, and everyone does each chore. It's a sense that if Randy's own kids don't do the chores, they might get kicked out of the house. I felt weird when I had to do the chores because I wondered what would happen if I didn't do them. I'm Randy's niece. Finally, locally there is a man from England named James. James lives in Georgetown and he is a tax attorney. His daughter is thirty years old and she lives in the house. It's a large house in Georgetown. His daughter has to do weird chores around the house like my cousins. James went to Cambridge University. I think it means that Cambridge should have some scrutiny. I am sensitive to household dynamics about chores in exchange to live in a home. James has this daughter who is thirty years old. I don't want her to do weird chores around the house. My grandpa went to Oxford.

At my house when I was little, there was only a group effort to clean the house on Saturday mornings. Only on Saturday mornings, the entire house was cleaned. The rest of the week was for school and sports, etc. We cleaned the entire house every Saturday morning. There were never chores on any day but that. Germans clean their homes every day. Italians clean once a week. My mom is from Indiana. Her brother went to Michigan State.

She came up to him and demanded to know whether he was a consul-general or a sacristan. She swore never again to set foot either in the Dolats church or in the parsonage." This is from 'Bosnian Chronicle' by Ivo Andric. Notice the mention of Turkish Catholics. The Germans maintain airbases in Anatolia. (January 16, 2021)

The US Justice Department charged him two years ago with running a global multi-million dollar money laundering operation that diverted Venezuelan state funds to overseas accounts."

I am reading in the BBC about Chinese textile factories. I have never been to China. It's famous about the police there. I'm always amazed that people travel to China and they're not afraid of the dangers there. It seems like China is a dangerous place. I wouldn't go to China if it was a free trip. I would be afraid to visit China. (January 16, 2021)

"The China Daily report focuses on an altercation outside the front gate of a textile factory in the city of Kuqa, where the BBC team was surrounded by a group of managers and local officials." The BBC is reporting on Beijing. Notice this description of textile factories in China. There have been tank battles in North Korea. It might be that the Germans send weaponry to Pyongyang from Lubeck. Lubeck, Germany seems to serve as a regional hub for German naval vessels. (January 16, 2021)

"A satellite photo, dated May 2019, shows a large group of people being moved between the Kuqa textile factory and a re-education camp located next door, complete with a watchtower and internal security walls."

"Vases of imitation porcelain were ordered from Vienna, and bargain candelabra and gilded twigs, all cheap and tasteless junk but a rare novelty in these parts. From Zagreb they obtained some embroidered brocade stoles and chasubles, made by the nuns of that city, which the Consul's wife donated to the monastery at Gucha Gora and to the priests of the village churches around Travnik." This is from 'Bosnian Chronicle' by Ivo Andric. Zagreb is the capital of Croatia. It's controversial about German trade through the Balkans. (January 16, 2021)

Marko Djuric is the Serbian ambassador to the United States. He just got here a few weeks ago. He went to the University of Belgrade School of Law. He put a video on Twitter today about the history of the relationship between Belgrade and Washington, DC. This is the 140th anniversary of bilateral relations. It's controversial about German trade through the Balkans.

When there is tension between Washington, DC and Belgrade, it pertains to the ports in the Balkans.
Bosnia trades in mark.
Albania has strategic ports and railroads.
Venice is an Italian port near the Balkans.
As there is tension in Serbian relations with Washington, DC, there is German trade through the Balkans.

These are photos of the intersection of 23rd Street and Q Street NW in Washington, DC. The Embassy of Romania is across the street from the Turkish ambassador residence. A few years ago the Washington Post reported on the Turkish building and Sheridan Circle. President Erdogan visited along with his bodyguards. It was the bureau that stopped the group and searched the bodyguards. (January 16, 2021)

"Tuesday's clash involving protesters and security guards for visiting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan prompted outrage by local and U.S. officials who accused the guards of using violence to quell what had been a peaceful demonstration in Northwest Washington."

"Included in the police search are members of Erdogan's armed protective detail, according to two people with direct knowledge of the case. Police are working with the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Secret Service to identify people seen on videos and obtain arrest warrants, even as they anticipated thorny issues involving diplomatic immunity or the special status afforded to those who guard visiting heads of state."

My grandpa's sister, Mabel Welles, married a medieval studies scholar named Charles Owen. He had been in the United States Army. Uncle Charlie was a professor at the University of Connecticut. I am a Russian scholar. I'm from Texas. I live here in Washington, DC. I know a woman locally who is a medieval scholar and she went to Yale for undergrad. She uses strange words for Russia. It makes me feel strange the words she uses for Russia. Today I am discussing a medieval Russian poem, 'The Song of Igor's Campaign'. This woman locally who went to Yale hasn't heard of it. I am not sure about Yale and the academic standards there. Conceptually, there exists a single medieval Russian poem. It's about the Mongolian invasion. And this woman hasn't heard of it. For a living she is a medieval studies scholar and she did go to Yale. Another detail, is that locally I have a gym membership and I go swimming at the gym pool. She doesn't. So the Yale kids don't always spend money on gym memberships. My intention is to discuss Yale as a academic institution. (January 16, 2021)

The Washington Post is reporting on the Pentagon. There might be labor strikes in the building. The Virginians are German immigrants and they work for labor unions. The Pentagon is across the river in Arlington, Virginia. (January 16, 2021)

"East Germany. The German Democratic Republic (East Germany) was proclaimed in the Soviet sector of Berlin Oct. 7, 1949. It was declared fully sovereign in 1954, but Soviet troops remained. Coincident with the entrance of West Germany into the European defense community in 1952, the East German government decreed a prohibited zone 3 mi deep along its 600-mi border with West Germany and cut Berlin's telephone system in two. Berlin was further divided by erection of a fortified wall in 1961, after over 3 mil East Germans had fled to the West. The oppressive Communist regime maintained control through the state security police, known as the Stasi. By the early 1970s, the economy of East Germany was highly industrialized, and the nation was credited with the highest standard of living among Warsaw Pact countries. Growth slowed in the late 1970s, because of shortages of natural resources and labor, and a huge debt. Comparison with the lifestyle in the West caused many young people to emigrate. In the late 1980s the government firmly resisted following the USSR's policy of openness (glasnost), but was faced with nationwide demonstrations demanding reform. Pres. Erich Honecker, in office since 1976, was forced to resign Oct. 18, 1989. On Nov. 9, the East German government announced its decision to open the border with the West, signaling the end of the Berlin Wall. On Aug. 23, 1990, the East German parliament agreed to unify with West Germany; this occurred Oct. 3." This is from the 2013 World Almanac. It's the entry for East Germany. Notice the description of the state security police, the Stasi. (January 16, 2021)

"The chancellor is due to hold talks with regional leaders of Germany's 16 states on Tuesday, as new infections remain stubbornly high despite a partial lockdown since mid-December."

"In the absence of German planes, only antiaircraft weapons of 20mm or larger were consistently effective against these heavily armored fighter-bombers." This is from a book about German tank operations in Ukraine in 1943. Notice the mention of antiaircraft weapons. (January 15, 2021)

"The German artillery and antitank positions in the depth of the defenses remained intact because the Soviets were not able to penetrate deep enough to force any relocation of the guns. In many situations, if German artillery support remained organized and shells were in sufficient supply, it was difficult and costly for the Soviets to make infantry attacks." This is from a book about German tank operations in Ukraine in 1943. Notice the mention of German antitank positions. (January 15, 2021)

Labor Unions in Lubeck, Germany

Lubeck 2
Lubeck-Blankensee Airport

Virginia is formally the 'Old Dominion'. It is the Commonwealth of Virginia. Many people in the area arrived from Prussia in the early nineteenth century. Prussia is in Germany's eastern provinces and Poland. Berlin is the seat of Prussia.
Warsaw is the capital of Poland. Warsaw is inland. Gdansk, Poland and Lubeck, Germany are ports on the Baltic. Sea. It's possible that Lubeck serves as a regional hub for German naval vessels. In the 1930's the Germans tested tanks near the Gulf of Danzig. The Blockade of Leningrad resulted from tanks that went north from the Gulf of Danzig. Leningrad is today Saint Petersburg. The city is also a port on the Baltic Sea.
It might be that the Virginians are ethnically Prussian. The laws in Virginia are friendly to labor unions. Last summer there were labor strikes in Germany. There might be labor strikes in Virginia that go unreported. The defense budget is vulnerable to labor unions and labor strikes. The Pentagon is located in Arlington, Virginia. It's controversial generally about labor leaders working at the Pentagon.
In East Berlin there were accounts about a large communications relay. In Poland there are large airbases. It's famous in modern history about the trade between Warsaw and Dublin, Ireland. Belfast, Dublin, and Galway are Irish ports. The radio towers in Warsaw might manage this trade with Irish ports. Additionally, there might be labor leaders who manage trade between Lubeck, Warsaw, and Dublin.
In terms of history, there are routes to Virginia from Ireland. Labor unions in Ireland might network with the Virginians about labor issues. It used to be that labor in Ireland was organized around child labor. The first labor unions registered in Canada were French-speaking Catholic labor unions in Montreal. In Ireland they were created to manage age and wages.
The Teamsters Union is an ethnically German labor union. A Teamster is a 'car man' or a 'cart man'. The Virginians seem to lobby to import German-made radios. In terms of defense spending, there are complaints about the detainee program and the targeted killing program. In Virginia there are sometimes efforts to upgrade the prisons with defense spending. Last year there was a drone strike in Iraq that was aimed at a two-car convoy. It's controversial generally about drone strikes that are aimed at cars.
The United States Department of Defense is led by the Secretary of Defense. A few weeks ago, there were accounts that Joe Biden's staff members were having trouble accessing certain areas of the Pentagon. The reports said there were 'roadblocks' at the Pentagon. It's not well understood about German-made hardware used by the Defense Department. Also, if there were labor strikes in Germany last summer there might have been labor strikes in Virginia.
Between Lubeck, Germany, Dublin, Ireland, and Virginia there are historic routes traveled by labor leaders. Workers move between these areas. Radio signals are sent between Brandenburg and Virginia. Finally, it seems like police radios are sent from Brandenburg to Virginia by way of Ireland.

Washington, DC

There are accounts about the bureau and surveillance hardware. The field office and the Hoover Building are on 4th Street and 9th Street. A few things, (1) it's not clear about defense contractors in the buildings, (2) there might be defense contractors in the buildings at night and on the weekends, (3) there are accounts that the bureau takes pharmaceuticals to operate surveillance hardware. Another thing is that the Virginians are strange about women in police buildings. It's been said that they watch movies using surveillance hardware, for example. (January 15, 2021)

It comes from Great Britain. I'm from Texas and I went to UT-Austin. I studied also in Saint Petersburg. The British allow for a command structure in the army that doesn't have much education. I wouldn't accept a commander who didn't have schooling. A British soldier will allow for a dimwitted commanding officer. An American won't as much. I am amazed at how the British are with the Virginians. It's obvious to me that people who live in a swamp and speak creole, would not be great at the army. The British ignore that they live in a swamp and that they speak creole.

American infantrymen: Won't accept commanding officers who are incompetent

Perryville, Kentucky is in Boyle County. Boyle County is a dry county which means you cannot buy alcohol there. There is a famous civil war battlefield in Perryville. My grandma and her parents, and her brother and his wife lived in Perryville. It's where I spent the summers. Arbor Davis Bottoms was in the United States Army. His wife is named Joanna. She was Joanna Yankee before they were married. The neighbor was named Beauford Bottoms. Everyone called him 'Boots'. Boots had been the mayor. I was there once and Boots came over. He said that his granddaughter, Tracy, showered every day. Joanna heard that and asked Boots if he showered every day. My cousins there moved to Lexington and they went to the University of Kentucky.

There are reports in the news about New York City police officers coming to Washington, DC to assist with the inauguration. The Virginians are German immigrants and they work for labor unions.

It might be that 'security' is that the women agents can't get into the Hoover Building. The Virginians speak in a regional dialect. There are swamps in Virginia. As the locals are 'securing' the buildings, these policemen from New York City are coming to assist with the inauguration. (January 15, 2021)

It's hard here in Washington, DC because the British have so many kids. British couples have three and four children. I think in Ireland they have more than that. It's overwhelming to think about the British economy and British couples having so many children. To think about living in London, every British couple has three and four children. It makes me kind of sick thinking about British women being pregnant so much. (January 14, 2021)

It seems like it's a dilemma of modern times about the British. It's as though a British man, in his life must be a father. The British seem like they cannot read. They spend the time being parents instead of reading. If a man walks this earth, and he is holistically a father. It's strange in Britain about the men and being dads. They seem to have a compulsion to get women pregnant. It's not well understood about the British and their need to be parents.

My grandpa was Sam Welles. He went to Princeton and he was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. He was a diplomat during the war and then he worked for Time Inc. My dad was born in New York City. Henry Welles. Born New York City. 1956. They lived in Pelham, New York which is a suburb. My grandpa was a Senior Editor at Time. He lost his job. They sold the house. They retired in North Carolina. I was born in North Carolina. We moved to Texas because my dad went to the LBJ School. He got a job working for the Texas state government. I went to Austin public schools and then UT-Austin. My friend from school works at Los Alamos. I live here in Washington, DC now. I've been here since I went to graduate school at Georgia Tech. I try to work really hard because we were gone so to speak from the east coast for so long. They sold the house in Pelham in the 1970s or so. That's when they moved to North Carolina. The Bush twins also went to Austin public schools, but we went to different schools. I went to Lyndon Johnson High School and they went to Austin High School. I graduated Phi Beta Kappa from UT-Austin in 2005. (January 14, 2021)

The British walk this earth. They might think they're supposed to be parents. And then it's strange about work and dating.

If there are two infantrymen, a British soldier and an American. The British soldier wants his girlfriend pregnant. The American wants his girlfriend to look nice. There are real problems when the British and the Americans coordinate between the armies. It might be Scottish Protestantism. I have a hard time here in Washington, DC because the British talk about being married so much. It might be that British English allows for conversation about marriages and child raising. (January 14, 2021)

I am writing about New Jersey. Ray Liotta is from New Jersey. He's Henry Hill in 'Goodfellas' (1990). It's a Martin Scorsese film. He has a girlfriend in the movie named Janice Rossi. Gina Mastrogiacomo is the actress that played Janice. When Wayne Rooney was here there were media reports about Coleen Rooney. The description is that Coleen would wear her engagement ring to dinner, and then she would move in such a way that she was sending a signal to Wayne. They have four kids. It's as though Coleen does this to signal to Wayne that she's ready to have another baby. "British girls have a specific move they do when they're ready to have another baby." There are real cultural differences between the British and the Americans. The British seem to really like making girls pregnant. British men, want to make women pregnant. I think Italians want their girlfriends to look nice. Men might, (1) want their girlfriends to look nice, or (2) want to make their girlfriends pregnant. Italian men want their girlfriends to look nice. The British want their girlfriends to make a baby. (January 14, 2021)

In an exclusive column for the Pavlovic Today, new Serbian Ambassador to the US, Marko Djuric, writes about Serbia's strong partnership with the US.
EXCLUSIVE: New Serbian Ambassador To The US, Marko Djuric, Has A Message for Americans
01/14/21 | By Marko Djuric | The Pavlovic Today
This year marks an important anniversary for The United States and Serbia: 140 years have passed since the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two great nations.
In 1881, when just a handful of modern countries even existed (slightly more than two dozen, at the time), our two nations were already exchanging envoys, trading, and signing international treaties, some of which are still in place to this very day. Through both World Wars, relations between Serbia and The United States remained steadfast, as millions of Serbs fought alongside Americans for values held in common by the two peoples.
Freedom-loving, like Americans, millions of Serbian people, forced by hardship at home and motivated by freedom, have made their way to the United States of America over the years. Here, they've enriched history.
Their names are now engraved in the hallway of the American dream. Nikola Tesla, the inventor of alternating current electricity, which we all use every day. Pupin, the inventor of long-range wireless telecommunications. NBA's Vlade Divac and Nikola Jokic, to name a few. Them, along with many thousands of Serbian doctors, nurses, engineers, construction workers, and university professors who gave their contribution to the American nation, became a part of it, and made it a better place.
During the past 140 years, our countries have been treading along a common path. A path that was rocky and challenging at times, especially during the nineteen-nineties, but it was and still remains a path of a long partnership, crucial alliances, and common values we share.
Serbs are, in my opinion, in terms of mentality, more similar to Americans than many other European nations. I would go out on a limb to say probably more similar than we are ready to admit ourselves, even though Serbia's neighboring countries may be geographically closer.
After three decades of internal, self-inflicted suffering in the face of the breakup of Yugoslavia, Serbia finally has a good thing going on. I write these lines hopeful that we will be able not only to be a part of this momentum, but also to capitalize on this.
Due to comprehensive reforms devised and implemented by President Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia was able, in just seven years, to rise from the verge of bankruptcy. Precisely from a budget deficit rate of 6.4% of GDP and an unemployment rate of 26.7% in 2014 to to the first place in Europe, in terms of GDP growth in quarters 1, 2, and 3 of 2020. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate has been reduced to 7.9%, with a steady three-year surplus and macroeconomic stability which is repeatedly praised by relevant IFO indicators and top executives.
Along with abundant incentives for foreign investors, this has led to Serbia becoming a destination that has attracted more foreign direct investments in 2019 and 2020 than the entire Western Balkan region combined.
Having just arrived in Washington DC a couple of weeks ago, I've learned already that a restaurant that serves Serbian cuisine and drinks has been ranked as one of the most popular restaurants in DC. Our national cuisine reflects the warmth of Serbian spirit and hospitality.
I invite you to embark with me and my new, enlarged team at the Serbian Embassy in DC on a worthy journey of transforming a long standing partnership between Serbia and the United States into something even more meaningful and substantial.
A new relation that will let us continuously discover new areas of cooperation in promoting peace and stability in our part of the world, a relation that will provide new economic opportunities from the nail pin of Southeastern Europe. Our 140th anniversary is a remarkable historical jubilee not many countries can boast about. I believe I am not exaggerating when I say that the stars are aligned for us to take part in the opening of a new, unprecedented chapter of mutually beneficial friendship and cooperation.
From here on, onwards and upwards, my friends.
