“Kushner says he and Witkoff ‘strongly’ believe Russians and Putin are ready for peace” and therefore Trump should proceed with Iran Takedown using maximum resources remaining available Sounds like Kushner-Witkoff conducted thorough pre-‘Iran War Phase 2 Post Midterm’ due diligence! 😂

Fascinating excerpt on '👼🏻El Niño–Southern Oscillation' (ENSO) weather phenomenon associated with coastal 🇵🇪Peru its impact on 'distributing' Warm Surface Water from a West Pacific Hot Tub 'Pool' which can warm up more towards say Australia during 'La Nina' or more towards Peru during 'El Nino' Warm Surface Water bothers rich marine life that thrives when deep cold current rises but this Warm Surface Water also produces more rain and fog that re-greens deserts sometimes rather dramatically This then goes to show you how the largest desert in the world, the Sahara in Africa, is also subject to various Cycles perhaps some sub-cycles correlated to ENSO but more broadly begins to expand your imagination into the mechanics of Climate Oscillation generally

"For all its remoteness of locale, the conquest of 🇵🇪Peru was a major episode in the 1500's 🇪🇸Spanish occupation of 🌎America, equaled in significance only by the conquest of 🇲🇽Mexico occurring ten or fifteen years before it. Like Mexico, Peru had an impressive Indian civilization and mineral wealth; like Mexico it quickly became the main center of Spanish civilization and government in a whole continent, and retained that position throughout the colonial period. Peru, richer in silver, less fortunate in its governors, its terrain more difficult, was by far the more turbulent of the two during the first decades. Yet a varied civil population was pouring into the country, creating lasting social and economic patterns, building a nation in the midst of political chaos. Spaniards reached Peru as explorers in the 1520's, but the consecutive history of Spanish Peru begins in 1532, when Francisco Pizarro's conquering expedition entered the country from the north and captured the Inca emperor Atahuallpa at Cajamarca. Within a year the Inca capital of Cuzco was taken, within another year Quito. There was hardly time to found a Spanish capital at Lima on the coast in 1535, before the newcomers were engulfed in a country-wide Indian rebellion, involving a year-long siege of Cuzco in 1536-37. Pizarro's partner and rival Diego de Almagro, returning in 1537 from his expedition to Chile, lifted the siege but did not bring peace. Almagro's claim to Cuzco set off a major civil war among the Spaniards, the first in a series which was to continue with little respite for more than fifteen years. These wars, not readily reduced to comprehensibility, were at first very largely personal and factional feuds between the Pizarrists and the Almagrists, but they were also conflicts between the rich and the poor, the well-established and the newly arrived. As time went on the factional element grew weaker, and the element of discontent and rebellion grew stronger. After the initial episode, in which both sides had an arguable legal case, the civil wars were fought between supposed loyalists and supposed rebels, and even to some extent between the sedentary coastal region and seditious Upper Peru. The first war, the "War of Salinas," ended with Almagro's defeat and execution in 1538. In revenge, the Almagrists assassinated Francisco Pizarro in 1541 and, under the leadership of Almagro's son, held much of the country until defeated in 1542 in the "War of Chupas" by Governor Vaca de Castro (allied with the Pizarrists). Both the Almagro wars were formidable affairs, but the most serious uprising of all came in 1544 when Gonzalo Pizarro, Francisco's brother, rebelled against the first viceroy of Peru, Blasco Núñez Vela, and the restrictive 'New Laws' [issued from Spain]. Pizarro attracted to himself not only malcontents, but a large body of the most powerful men in Peru, and proceeded to hunt down the viceroy, defeating and killing him in battle near Quito in 1546. To cope with the situation, the crown sent Licenciado Pedro de la Gasca, who, after amassing the largest forces yet seen in Peru, brought about Gonzalo Pizarro's fall and execution in 1548. After this there were no more rebellions by senior and powerful figures, but in the early 1550's Peru increasingly filled up with impatient claimants of honors, some of whom briefly seized control in the southern mining area in 1553 under don Sebastián de Castilla. The period of major wars came to an end in 1554 with the defeat of Francisco Hernández Girón, who, though he never counted the powerful among his followers, for a year dominated much of the Peruvian highland and even once advanced to within a few miles of Lima. Where, in this picture of turmoil, is there room for peaceful coloniza-tion? It is small wonder that many observers have assumed that real development of the society and economy began later, either with the rule of Viceroy Toledo in the 1570's, or at earliest in the later 1550s after the end of the civil wars. *The fact is, however, that to a certain extent basic development is compatible with war, political chaos, and bad governors*. Had there been peace and good government, no doubt marvels would have been accomplished; but much was done in any case, and indeed the wars at many points served as a stimulus to commerce, artisanry, and navigation. All the main population centers of Peru, all the main economic and social trends, had taken shape by 1545 or 1550, and in many cases much earlier, in the course of a spontaneous, undirected development concurrent with the conquest and civil wars. A quick glance at some aspects of Peru in 1542, just ten years after the capture of the Inca at Cajamarca, and a year after the assassination of Francisco Pizarro, will serve to show how much was done in a short time toward building up Spanish Peru. Lima, which was then, as it always afterward remained, the center of the Spanish occupation, was a quite imposing city, full of the large, sometimes palatial Spanish-style houses of the encomenderos, with artisans' and merchants' shops lining the square and central streets. Around the city lay a garden area where intensive Spanish irrigation agriculture was carried on, mainly by Negro slaves, to supply the local market. Encomenderos from the highlands, leaving retainers behind to care for their interests, spent much of their time in the capital. *Lima was the Peruvian headquarters of merchant firms, based ultimately in Seville, which traded along the route from Seville to Panama, Lima, Arequipa, and the highlands, importing goods and sending back silver*. The coastal cities contained strong elements of a civil population, including merchants, artisans, mariners, large numbers of Negro slaves in various stages of acculturation, and more than a few Spanish women married to encomenderos and artisans."

Zelensky is WW3 MVP If Ukraine defeats Russia, I would say he deserves to be Founder of Zelensky Dynasty, with potential to rule from Kiev to Vladivostok rendering 'Russia' a land-locked Volga River Basin sub-polity of the Ukrainian Empire, and granting 'promotions' to polities east of the Urals on the same level as 'Russia' We must rapidly assimilate the implications of Zelensky For instance, the rise of Elon Musk has Korean mothers at least subliminally trying to raise their sons to develop similar attributes... Visionary, Bold, Unconventional, Relentless... in a very distinct manner So we should do the same with Zelensky Zelensky is the Archetype that can most effectively lead entire nations on the world stage amidst "bat shit crazy" pace of technology and AI changing everything from ground war reality to sovereign debt What Zelensky proves is the power of *Improvisational Intelligence* Zelensky was an Improv Actor and became famous across Ukraine-Russia and the ex-Soviet sphere as an entertainer, a 'Personality' as we say We should not denigrate such professions The world of 'IMPROV' is segmented into say Comedy Improv and all other Improv What's interesting here is that most people on the street think COMEDY when they hear 'Improv' but the Skills developed as a de-facto Meta-SPORT are actually best nurtured when defining IMPROV as broadly as possible... Indeed, in the field of Personal Development, Coaching, and so forth, Psychological Therapy Movements such as 'Gestalt' have opened up to 'Improv' Acting as Practice for Skills or even for Team development Actors and Singers and other performers often utilize Improv as an explicit or embedded practice Yet, ironically, the highest *form* of performance Improv is still likely Comedy This is because provoking genuine laughter to a mass audience *live* is extremely difficult Performance Artists have long viewed 'Stand-Up Comedy' as the most 'Elite' as a challenge... and most Stand-Up Comedians work insanely hard to develop, practice, refine, iterate or deprecate... their 'bits' into themes, segments and shows But to do this well in an Improv Setting, introducing Team-Work... and even unpredictable elements To do this well, beyond the mere 'Variety Show' format... is probably the most challenging 'Sport' in the world The levers of 'manipulation' are unlimited This is why Pro Athletes in the traditional sense do not run the world... Traditional Athletes of traditional physical sports reduce the world down to a predictable game... within which there is still an infinity of possibility to manage and intuit But they are not as good at being leaders in chaos, in an AI world that is formless-amorphorous Zelensky excels because he is an Improvisational Leader Bibi as a high school student in the US played Soccer and Debate Debate is another Improvisational Sport In fact, American Debate as a de-facto Sport segments into Games such as 'EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING' where you are given a prompt, a minute to think about it or scratch some notes, and then give a full speech; and then you're rated on it There are formats where you debate 1:1 or as a team of 2 against 2... and for a given topic, you toss a coin to see who goes first to argue 'Pro'... and then you debate the same person or same team with reversed positions taking on 'Con' This is a further type of Rhetorical Improvisional Intelligence which is becoming existential to the leading of Nations in this world that Trump 2.0 post-midterms elevated his former SPEECH-writer Stephen Miller... to Chief of Staff that Trump is obsessed with *Copywriting* as the HIGHEST LEADERSHIP ACTIVITY that Trump is such an innovative BRAND ARCHITECT obsessed with *NAMING* these are all *intimations* of an emergent order of *being* which with the rise of AI LLM's, prompting, context windows... now feels even more intuitive
