Corbyn blasts May Brexit talks ‘stunt’, as activists applaud new referendum talk

PREVIOUS

17/01/2019 - 12:52:00

Jeremy Corbyn has blasted Theresa May’s offer of cross-party Brexit talks as a “stunt” – as he was applauded by Labour supporters for saying that a second referendum was still an option.

In front of a crowd of around 200 activists in Hastings, he said the British Prime Minister had made no “serious attempt to engage with the new reality that is needed” to get a Withdrawal Agreement through Parliament.

In a direct message to Mrs May, Mr Corbyn said: “Take no-deal off the table now please, Prime Minister.”

He reiterated Labour’s preference for a general election and a Brexit deal on its terms, including a permanent customs union, close links to the single market and protections for workers and the environment.

But, to clapping from the floor, he added: “If the Government remains intransigent, if support for Labour’s alternative is blocked for party advantage and the country is facing the potential disaster of no-deal, our duty will then be to look at other options which we set out in our confidence motion, including that of a public vote.”

However, taking questions after his speech at the venue on Hastings’ seafront, he left open the question of which side Labour would campaign on in a public vote.

“If a second referendum should take place, then obviously the party will decide what role we will play in that and what our view would be,” he said.

“But I can’t really go along with the idea it should simply be a re-run of what happened in 2016. There has to be a discussion about the options that we put forward and we’ve put forward the three options that I’ve outlined.”

Mr Corbyn is now the only Westminster party leader who has not held discussions with Mrs May, after she held out an olive branch across the Commons on Wednesday.

Speaking in the heart of an East Sussex constituency that voted 55%-45% in favour of Leave in 2016, he said: “Last night’s offer of talks with party leaders turned out to be simply a stunt, not the serious attempt to engage with the new reality that is needed.”

He added: “I say to the Prime Minister again: I am quite happy to talk but the starting point for any talks about Brexit must be that the threat of a disastrous no-deal outcome is ruled out, taken off the table, and we can talk about the future of the plans that we will put forward and the future relationship with Europe.”

A reporter who asked Mr Corbyn whether other Labour MPs were also barred from meeting Mrs May or other Ministers was met with audible discontent from Labour activists.

Mr Corbyn said he had written to the Prime Minister on Thursday setting out his position.

He confirmed that Labour will table amendments to Monday’s motion, putting forward its preferred solution of a customs union with a voice for the UK in future EU trade deals, a close single market relationship and protections for rights.

He held open the possibility of an extension of the Article 50 negotiation period, saying: “Quite clearly, if no agreement has been reached within the time it could be implemented by the end of March, the issue of extending the exit date, extending Article 50, does come into play.

“Indications are that that may well be the case.”

IRAN, CUBA TO BOLSTER ECONOMIC, MEDICAL COOPERATION

January 17, 2019 Written by Farsi News

Iranian Deputy Health Minister Mohsen Assadi Lari arrived in Havana late on Tuesday to attend the 17th Iran-Cuba Joint Economic Cooperation Commission, sign mutual cooperation documents in various fields and hold meetings with the Cuban officials.

Heading a senior delegation, he is slated to hold talks with that country’s officials, including health minister, vice chairman and minister of trade and foreign investment in the two-day official visit to Cuba.

During the trip, some six memoranda of understanding (MoUs) in the fields of trade, sports, agriculture, pharmaceutical products, transfer of knowledge for producing Pneumococcal vaccine will be signed by the officials of the two countries.

Head of Pasteur Institute of Iran (a major pharmaceutical research and innovation center) along with representatives from Export Guarantee Fund of Iran and Foreign Ministry officials are accompanying deputy health minister in his trip to Havana.

In a related front, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani cabled a message to his Cuban counterpart Miguel Diaz-Canel on January 01, highlighting the need for the expansion of bilateral relations between Tehran and Havana.

I hope that Iran and Cuba will expand their mutual cooperation in the future," President Rouhani said in his message, congratulating his Cuban counterpart on the occasion of the anniversary of the Cuban Revolution.

"We are happy that the Cuban government, with the support of people, has firmly resisted against all the conspiracies, threats, and sanctions over past 60 years, becoming a symbol of resistance against the Domination System,” The Iranian president added.

Michael Cohen offered Liberty University CIO $50,000 to rig two online polls for Trump, report says

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump's former fixer and personal attorney Michael Cohen paid a technology expert to rig online polls in Trump's favor, according to The Wall Street Journal.

John Gauger, the owner of Red Finch Solutions and chief information officer at Liberty University, said Cohen offered him $50,000 to rig two online polls, the Journal reported Thursday, citing a government document and a person familiar with the matter.

Cohen handed Gauger a Walmart bag loaded with about $12,000 in cash during a 2015 meeting at Cohen's Trump Organization office, Gauger said. But he never paid him the remainder of the promised $50,000, the Journal said.

Cohen denied giving Gauger cash. "All monies paid to Mr. Gauger were by check," he said, according to the Journal.

Gauger did not appear to have much success at moving the needle in the polls he was paid to manipulate. In January 2014, Cohen asked Gauger to sway a CNBC online poll on the top American business leaders with a program that could vote for Trump repeatedly, the Journal report said. But Trump did not break into the top 100.

In February 2015, Cohen asked Gauger to boost Trump in a Drudge Report poll on potential 2016 Republican presidential candidates, according to Gauger. Trump ended up coming in fifth with 5 percent of the vote.

Cohen also asked Gauger to create a Twitter account with the handle @WomenForCohen that would be run by a female friend of Gauger's to portray Cohen as a "sex symbol" and hype his statements in favor of Trump's presidential campaign, the Journal reported. The account was created in May 2016 and remains active.

"We can't wait!!! You will do a fantastic job! You are amazing leader &speaker #ThanksDonald #AmericaFirst," reads a Dec. 28, 2016 tweet, the last one posted to the account. That tweet was in response to one from Cohen's announcing he would be an honoree at one of the pre-inaugural balls after Trump's election victory.

Morgan Stanley Tumbles Following Huge Revenue, FICC Miss

After 5 out of 5 big investment banks reported disappointing FICC revenue results, hopes that Morgan Stanley would break the trend when it reported Q4 earnings this morning were subdued at best, and for good reason: moments ago the bank reported Q4 FICC revenue of just $564MM, a huge miss to the $823MM consensus expectation and a whopping 30% drop Y/Y which was also the biggest fixed income revenue drop on Wall Street.

The result was so bad, one has to go back to 2015 to find a lower fixed income print.

Had that been all, the bank may have scraped through unscathed like so many of its peers, but whereas other banks managed to cover up for FICC disappointment with the outperformance of other groups, Morgan Stanley did not, and as a result Q4 revenue printed at just $8.55BN, far below the $9.35BN expected and in fact below the lowest estimate in the range of forecasts of $8.97BN to $10.17BN.

This also resulted in a painful EPS miss, with the company reported 73 cents in Q4 EPS (thanks to a 16.2% effective tax rate), far below the 89 cents expected, a number which excluded a 7 cent per share tax benefit. And while net income more than doubled to $1.53 billion from $643 million a year earlier, that is because the firm took a $1 billion charge related to the U.S. tax overhaul last year.

So alas whereas other banks could at least pretend the core business is doing well, MS had no such luxury, especially since equity sales and trading revenue of $1.93BN also missed expectations of $2.01BN; the number was "essentially unchanged from a year ago reflecting higher revenues in the financing business, partially offset by lower results in execution services." As for the FICC plunge, the bank said that this is due to "unfavorable market making conditions that resulted from significant credit spread widening and volatile rate movements."

The company's key Wealth Management group also disappointed, reporting pre-tax income from continuing operations of $1.0 billion compared with $1.2 billion a year ago. Net revenues for the current quarter were $4.1 billion compared with $4.4 billion a year ago principally driven by losses related to investments associated with certain employee deferred compensation plans. Even so, total client assets were $2.3 trillion and client assets in fee-based accounts were $1.0 trillion at the end of the quarter.

There was a silver lining in the bank's investment banking revenue of $1.49BN which while unchanged from a year ago, was better than the $1.35BN expected.

Advisory revenues of $734 million increased from $522 million a year ago on higher levels of completed M&A activity across all regions.

Equity underwriting revenues of $323 million decreased from $416 million a year ago reflecting lower revenues primarily on IPOs.

Fixed income underwriting revenues of $360 million decreased from $499 million a year ago driven by lower bond and loan issuances.

Alas, this was not enough to offset the broader gloom. To be sure, the bank tried to make up for the drop in revenue by slashing expenses, as compensation costs of $3.8 billion decreased from $4.3 billion a year ago on lower net revenues, partially offset by

a reduction in the portion of discretionary incentive compensation subject to deferral (non-compensation expenses of $2.9 billion increased from $2.8 billion a year ago).

Of course, CEO James Gorman was optimistic, saying that "In 2018 we achieved record revenues and earnings, and growth across each of our business segments – despite a challenging fourth quarter. We delivered higher annual returns, producing an ROE of 11.8% and ROTCE of 13.5%, as we continued to invest in our businesses. While the global environment remains uncertain, our franchise is strong and we are well positioned to pursue growth opportunities and serve our clients."

Yet after the first truly dreadful bank results of the earnings season the market disagreed, and MS stock, which is a 0.2% contributors to the S&P, tumbled 5% and sent US equity futures near session lows and in danger of breaching 2,600 - the new key support - in the S&P500.

They got this shoved out the door early. Absolute pile of steaming crap here.

t does not get much worse than this. Fixed income dropped by 30%. Moar credit loss fuckery too. This one should have been suicided in 2008 as it was worse off than most even then.

A Canadian kidnapped in Burkina Faso on Tuesday has been found dead, a spokesman for the security ministry told Reuters on Thursday.

The man was abducted after nightfall by a dozen gunmen on a mining site owned by Vancouver-based Progress Minerals near the border with Niger, in an area that the government says is under growing threat from armed jihadists.

Global Affairs has not replied to a request for comment on the situation.

A spokesman for Burkina Faso’s security ministry previously identified the man as Kirk Woodman, who works for the Vancouver-based Progress Mineral Mining Company.

Zimbabwean doctors said on Thursday they had treated nearly 70 people for gunshot wounds while police rounded up hundreds after violent protests this week triggered by President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s decision to steeply raise fuel prices.

While some businesses and banks opened after the three-day stay-at-home strike, inflation data for December showed the annual consumer price index soaring to 42 per cent, adding more woes to citizens struggling with daily life.

Zimbabweans had hoped Mnangagwa would make good on pre-election pledges to revive the economy and break with the Robert Mugabe era, but Zimbabwe has fallen back into familiar ways.

The protests, which took place only five months after six people were killed in post-election demonstrations last August, pose a challenge for Mnangagwa who promised to repair the struggling economy after he replaced long-time leader Mugabe following a coup in November 2017.

Three people died during the protests but rights groups, lawyers and witnesses said scores were beaten by soldiers in a crackdown on dissent by security forces.

State broadcaster ZBC said 600 people, including a prominent activist and an opposition legislator, have been detained over the protests. A Zimbabwean lawyers’ group said it was so far representing more than 130 people arrested for protesting.

Evan Mawarire, a Harare pastor who rose to prominence as a Mugabe critic and led a national protest shutdown in 2016, will on Thursday appear in court to face public violence charges.

Courts dismissed two similar charges against him in 2017 for lack of evidence.

The Zimbabwe Association of Doctors for Human Rights (ZADHR) said its members had treated 172 people, some with dog bites, in private and public hospitals since Monday, when the protests erupted in the capital, Harare, and the second city, Bulawayo.

“There are cases of patients who had chest trauma and fractured limbs who were forcibly taken from hospital to attend court despite the advise of doctors,” ZAHDR said in a statement.

The casualty list included 68 people treated for gunshot wounds, 17 of whom underwent emergency surgery.

Fuel shortages remain

Some businesses and banks re-opened in the capital but others remained closed as calm returned on Thursday. But in the second city of Bulawayo, which witnessed widespread looting, businesses remained shut, local journalists in the city said.

At a branch owned by Stanbic Bank in Harare, the banking halls were empty with no customers and workers. An official said workers did not report for duty because they could not find public transport. There were very few public taxis on the road, leaving many people stranded.

Long lines formed at the few filling stations selling fuel and in central Harare, soldiers in two army lorries kept an eye at a garage selling petrol.

Media platforms like Whatsapp, Facebook and Twitter remained blocked because of a government order, leading to accusations that it wanted to prevent images of heavy-handedness from being broadcast around the world.

“Things are beginning to normalize now so going to work is the only option otherwise our families will suffer,” said James Vambe, a trader in Harare.

Dollar shortages are battering the economy, rocketing inflation is destroying the value of citizens’ savings and the government is reacting forcefully to crush dissent.

‘Fair competition’: US state proposes to oblige transgender athletes to compete under biological sex

State lawmakers in South Dakota, USA, have proposed a law banning transgender athletes from competing against rivals of opposite biological sex.

The new bill will require transgender participants to enter sporting events in accordance with the gender listed on their birth certificate, instead of their assumed sexual choice.

“Texas’ University Interscholastic League requires that students participate on sports teams that correspond with the sex listed on their birth certificate,” Senator Jim Bolin, a lawmaker behind the proposed bill said.

“I just firmly believe that those who are males should play in sports designated for males and those who are females … should play in sports designated for females, according to your birth certificate. It’s about fair competition,” he added.

ALSO ON RT.COM

According to the current rules adopted by South Dakota High School Activities Association in 2015 transgender athletes are allowed to participate in sporting activities in accordance with their gender identity, not assigned biological sex.

The controversial issue has flared up in US college sport after transgender competitors dominated female events raising questions of unfair testosterone advantage.

In October, the fairness of transgender athletes’ participation in sport was questioned again, after Canadian transgender cyclist Rachel McKinnon won the women’s sprint at the 2018 world championship.

It's not far fetched to imagine that this should unlock new applications of existing technologies. I can see a reality where a downloaded "person" can then be shot in fractions of a second via laser not only anywhere in the world (with precision use of mirrors), but potentially anywhere in the vastness of space.

Perhaps the next generation of space exploration (and maybe those already visiting us) will simply be data. No need for rocket propelled devices, warp drives, etc etc… All you need may be the data and a laser.

All that glitters isn't gold: Palladium hits all-time record as deficit boosts prices

Published time: 17 Jan, 2019 13:22

The price for palladium has surged to record-high levels on lower supply and increasing demand for the precious metal that is vital for the auto-making industry. It continues to beat gold as the world's best commodity investment.

Spot palladium soared five percent to $1,427 per ounce, having risen more than 10 percent so far this month. Spot gold increased by just 0.1 percent to $1,294.22 an ounce against a backdrop of various geopolitical concerns, including the US government shutdown, China’s economic forecast, Brexit, and US’ pending tariffs on European vehicles.

Russia looks to corner global platinum market

The price for palladium, which is commonly used in emissions-reducing catalysts for vehicles, has skyrocketed more than 60 percent since mid-August. In December, palladium price overtook gold for the first time in 16 years, making the precious metal the most expensive in the world.

“Any new high in the market is triggering additional buying… It is a good old-fashioned squeeze driven by tight fundamentals, strong momentum and low liquidity,” Saxo Bank analyst Ole Hansen told Reuters.

The latest move higher may be linked to short covering, according to Michael Matousek, head trader at US Global Investors, as quoted by CNBC.

A sustained period of record palladium automotive demand, with last year’s estimate of 8.5 million ounces, coupled with constrained mine production growth has led to demand outpacing supply over much of the current decade, reads a note from Metals Focus seen by the agency.

“In the long run, we believe that palladium will continue to benefit from exceptionally strong supply-demand, resulting in yet higher prices. However, in the near future, we believe that palladium is due a correction,” the consultancy said.

Police tapes, Pence, immigration raid rumor: What we learned from Pete Buttigieg's book

Police tapes

Buttigieg calls reappointing Daryl Boykins as police chief a few weeks after taking office in 2012 his “first serious mistake as mayor.”

When he demoted Boykins to captain in March 2012, he knew only that Boykins, believing that some other officers wanted his job, had allegedly confronted them with tape recordings that could embarrass them if disclosed, Buttigieg writes. Shortly after the demotion, media outlets began reporting on “rumors” that the tapes contained evidence of officers using racist language to describe Boykins.

A civilian police employee who listened to the tapes said the officers used racist language and discussed their own criminal activities.

Buttigieg writes that federal prosecutors sent him a “thinly veiled” message that they would charge Boykins if he didn’t step down, so he had to decide which scenario was more likely to “tear the community apart — a well-liked African American police chief potentially being indicted over compliance with a very technical federal law, or me removing him for allowing it to reach this point?”

But something had to change.

“Even leaving aside that I believed removing him was the best way to avoid him facing potential legal action, I had lost confidence in the leadership of a chief who had not come to me the moment he realized he was the target of an FBI investigation.”

In April 2012, Buttigieg said publicly he had “resolved the situation” to his satisfaction and a month later asked the U.S. Department of Justice to take over the case.

The police tapes controversy turned into a protracted legal battle, and Buttigieg acknowledges in the book that the issue “affected my relationship with the African-American community in particular for years” and that he saw important lessons about “the deeply fraught relationship between law enforcement and communities of color.”

The legal fight still lingers today.

Pence and social issues

Buttigieg initially liked Republican Gov. Mike Pence, but that changed when Pence championed and signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, a bill passed by the GOP-controlled Indiana General Assembly that would have let business owners cite their religious beliefs in denying service to gay couples.

Immigration raid?

One day early in 2017, shortly after Trump took office, the mayor’s phone started to “blow up” with texts asking if there was any truth to rumors of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid on the west side, where many Latinos live and operate businesses.

Buttigieg writes that he “asked around” whether there was any truth to the rumor, and determined there was not. But before he knew that for sure, several small businesses on the west side had closed for the day, parents were “grabbing” their children from school and families were taking refuge at St. Adalbert’s Church.

One evening soon after, he attended a “Know Your Rights” event at Harrison Primary Center, where a legal nonprofit had set up a projector with a slideshow. A group of mostly white students from Adams High School had volunteered to watch children of the Latino parents who had come.

“When I was in high school (National Honor Society), our volunteer projects had to do with things like litter cleanup,” he writes. “Now, in post-2016 America, there were whole new categories of things you can volunteer to do — such as consoling and entertaining six-year-olds while their terrified immigrant parents gather in a school gym to get legal advice on how to keep their families from being torn apart by federal agents.”

Bernie calls

When he was running for Democratic National Committee chair in early 2017, Buttigieg received a call from Bernie Sanders suggesting he drop out and make room for candidate Keith Ellison.

Ellison and former Obama Labor Secretary Tony Perez were the front-runners when Buttigieg entered the race late. Ellison, a Minnesota congressman, had the support of the party’s growing left wing, many of them young people, while Perez was seen as representing the party establishment. Buttigieg thought he might be able to position himself as an alternative to the party divide – a fresh start who could lead the party into a new future.

The longer the shutdown goes on the moar the Middlemen Insider Arbitrage Faggots starve.

Case in point - Govt Contracts - using simple numbers actuals obviously much higher:

Government RFPs out $2M IT project.

Insider Kick-Back firm wins bid fair & square because of course it was STFU or be blackballed.

Takes 750K off top and buys Hookers & Blow for party with Agency frens.

They RFP out the now $1.25M project to IT staffing Firm.

Another $250K cut taken for their hard working troubles.

That's $1M left for the you's & me's that sign up for the actual work.

You still take them up on it even though you're only getting 50% of what your labor is being billed at because….

It's a Govt Contract that was bigly overpriced and you still make a better rate than you would with the big/medium corp projects.

Woke up diggin anons. Carol Ann shows two addresses on the lake. Both addresses walking distance to a rail line with the line practically in the frontyard of the Lake Dora Address. Following the (rat) rail line, it travels around the lakes past a couple of industrial parks like the one near Dan's Coffee Repair for those folks that need to repair their coffee. Continuing on it passes the restaurant La Chiquita, and the Orlando Apopka Airport which is a small privately owned public use airport. Check the runway number. Then I looked a bit closer at the lakes and noticed the gated Deer Island Country Club Estates. Nice Y head logo you have there.

Symbolism will be their downfall

Including last nights find of the Ocasio Rothschild Pine Street address below conolidated for easy baking. Also, there are tons of names, addresses and phone numbers for digging for those that don't have to workfag.

YouTube suspends adverts on Tommy Robinson’s account

17/01/2019 - 13:36:00 Back to World Home

YouTube has demonetised the account of controversial British activist Tommy Robinson for breaching the site’s advertising guidelines.

The Google-owned video platform said it had placed the restrictions on Robinson’s YouTube channel – which has 270,000 subscribers – for content around controversial issues and sensitive events.

The ban comes a day after YouTube removed adverts for far-right group Britain First from the platform for breaching rules which prohibit content which promotes “hatred, intolerance or discrimination”.

Video creators on YouTube are able to collect money from advertising by allowing adverts to be shown on their videos.

Lawyers again urge ICC to release ex-Ivory Coast president

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Jan 17, 2019, 8:32 AM ET

Defense lawyers are again appealing for the immediate release of former Ivory Coast President Laurent Gbagbo and an ex-government minister from detention at the International Criminal Court following their acquittal this week on charges of involvement in deadly post-election violence.

Thursday's filings are the latest salvo in legal wrangling between defense and prosecution lawyers over whether strict conditions should be imposed on Gbagbo and former youth minister Charles Ble Goude if they are freed to ensure they return to court. Prosecutors plan to appeal both men's acquittals.

Judges ordered the men released on Tuesday and again a day later after rejecting a prosecution request to impose strict conditions on their freedom. On Wednesday night prosecutors asked for the release to be suspended while an appeal on the issue is heard.

INF’s chances of survival are slim, says Munich Security Conference head

World January 17, 16:34 UTC+3

There is little hope that the US and Russia will be able to preserve the INF Treaty, says Munich Security Conference head

TASS /. There is little hope that the United States and Russia will be able to preserve the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), Chairman of the Munich Security Conference, Wolfgang Ischinger, told journalists in Berlin on Thursday.

"I was in Moscow this week and had the opportunity to talk to people. I came back without much hope regarding the future decision. I will be unexpectedly and pleasantly surprised, if a decision is made," the official stated.

The United States and the USSR signed the INF treaty on December 8, 1987. It came into force on June 1, 1988. The agreement applies to deployed and non-deployed ground-based missiles of intermediate range (1,000-5,000 kilometers) and shorter range (500-1,000 kilometers). In recent years, the US has repeatedly accused Russia of violating the accord. Moscow has vehemently refuted these claims and voiced its own concerns regarding Washington’s compliance with the treaty.

On January 15, Moscow and Washington held inter-departmental consultations on the INF in Geneva. Following the talks, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov stated that the US was not trying to bring the parties together but showed willingness to "bring their position to its logical conclusion and wreck the treaty". In turn, US Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security, Andrea Thompson, accused Russia of violating the agreement and confirmed that the US would begin the process of withdrawing from the INF on February 2, if Moscow does not destroy the 9M729 missile. Washington asserts that this rocket breaches the agreement.

"The Work-Around"

Because of how crazy things seem sometimes I thought about this the other day as I was digging and following the current crumbs and threads of > research, comms and situational developments in "The Plan".

I was reminded of this:

In any good "Plan" there are, calculated-in = "Work-Arounds".

I've mentioned this before having worked for years in (Industrial Engineering & the Motion Control Industry)

Simplified explanation is the example of → (Ladder Logic) of the (PLC) Programmable Logic Computer.

Basically a spider web of circuits with (Pathways) which have a multitude of (Switches = "Bits") that are either (ON) or (OFF)

Switches = Bits

Bits can be "Toggled" = (ON) or (OFF)

"Toggle a Bit" = and it changes the condition of what the PLC is commanding the machine to do.

The caveat is: The condition of one (BIT = ON or OFF) affects all other (Bits) that it's connected to. Those affect the ones they're connected to and so forth. So you can see how things can get complicated very quickly. It's a (Cascading Effect).

Daily, we here who are doing serious research and analysis or lurking attentively, are constantly observing (Bits being Toggled). Sometimes our (Input) here (Toggles a Bit). Other times, POTUS, Q or un-named Patriots (Toggle Bits). Many times [The Enemy] (Toggles Bits).

My point: This is an ever-changing battle space that is like a (Fluid & Adaptable = Ladder Logic Plan) → With planned-in "Work-Arounds" depending on the (ON/OFF) condition of the various (BITS) in the (Diagram of the Map) → With (BITS) being constantly "Toggled".

———-

Just an observation to help remain flexible and adaptable to the "Work-Arounds" and the "Toggling of Bits" along the way.

———-

ps: Autists, don't beat me up too bad. This is meant to help those newer eyes following the ever-changing battle-space conditions.

* No battle plan (completely) survives the first engagement with the enemy.
