Here are some news stories that might be of interest. Most articles will be more or less summarized in the headline. You can skim the headlines and summaries, and click the links if they are of interest. Keep in mind, many of these reports are products of an unreliable news media, so although they will be what people are hearing and talking about, there is no guarantee any one of them is necessarily correct, and we have had cases of outright lies make it onto these pages.

Would be wonderful to wear glasses which identify stasi encountered on my daily walks. Presently, with the perfectly intersecting cars, I just make a point of trying to look them in the eye (impossible) or ostentaciously noting their license number. Would love to send them a personal message.
You can. They can hear your thoughts. You can even command them to do things. Try it and report back.
It doesn’t even have to link them to a government identity. Just being able to label them as “Person 1b6f6” and see the list of times your glasses have hit that person revealing that they were driving by when you left home in the morning, parked at the same coffee shop as you, were shopping at the grocery when you were, and then showed up at the same place to have dinner as you later in the day. That would tell you what you need to know.
Label them with a short description and see if they radically change their appearance often. That would indicate they’re trying to project larger numbers.
I think I mentioned this a while back, but around ten years ago a friend and I went out to lunch. We usually went to a fairly nice chain restaurant in another town, every four or six weeks, depending on our schedules.
Over time, we knew what we liked and always made the same orders; I have various substitutions, and he always picked up a to-go order for his wife.
The waitress – one we’d never seen before – came up, asked for our orders, and as soon as Mick started talking, she rattled off the rest of his order, and mine.
It freaked Mick out. We both always use cash, and they never had a credit card number, or even our names. Yet the waitress recognized us and knew our usual orders.
He’s a former IT guy too, but hasn’t kept up with things. I pointed out how it was likely done;. (remember, ten years ago)
There was off-the-shelf and open-source facial recognition software then. Reliability wasn’t great, but even 50 to 75% would be enough. The rest would just be a SMOP. (Simple Matter of Programming)
A) Put a camera by the door to get the face of each customer entering the restaurant. Put that in the database. That’s your primary key. When the waitress keys your order into her Point-of-Sale terminal, grab that data and link it to the face key.
B) A customer walks in and the camera+database say the customer has visited before. Pop the POS terminal data up to show their previous orders. When the waitress is assigned his table, she checks to see if there’s an order history for them, and remembers it long enough to ask if they want to order it again.
Why? Because that’s “excellent customer service”. People like to be recognized and remembered. For the waitress, that’s a chance for a larger tip. For the restaurant, it’s a happy customer likely to return more often. Everybody wins a little.
Companies usually get so fixated in collecting customer demographic information they often forget that they don’t always *need* an ID and demographics to provide their service.
“I pointed out how it was likely done;. (remember, ten years ago)”
Yeah, but that wasn’t what freaked out your friend.
Yeah. He had also worn the +10 Spiked Jackboots of Security Administration on the job, but he never made the jump to realizing he was being observed in meatspace.
Come to think of it, he was also one of the ones who was so upset when the Patriot Act was signed into law. It wasn’t anything new; all it did was wrap up a bunch of existing surveillance systems into one convenient package. He knew that, but again, had never realized that he was included in the “them” that was being surveilled.
Now, when I suppose that some guy is stalker, I try to avoid eye contact. They are co dusgusting, I don’t want have any connection with them. And stop dreaming Tonawanda, that “super glasses” will be “blind” when you point them on cabal prol.
“Would be wonderful to wear glasses which identify stasi encountered on my daily walks.”
In my own experience, most of them glow more than FBI. By a wide margin. You might not need glasses to pick them out, depending on how strongly they are targeting you.
“Would love to send them a personal message.”
Everyone’s situation is different. I’ve been a TI for decades now, at a level that is intense (but not AC’s level of targeting). At this point, they are really hard for me to miss. But maybe they aren’t as overt with you?
Anyway, my point is, if you want to send them a personal message, after you ID them, just walk up and start talking. You might be surprised at how it goes.
As soon as I read that he was wearing them during the attack but “didn’t appear to be streaming” I told my wife, “Ask AC — he’ll tell you he was streaming, just not to facebook.”
It is amazing. I was looking at the United Healthcare CEO shooting, and I think the woman on the sidewalk, when she turned to run, held her phone as if facetiming, but pointed at the shooter.
Somewhere is an ops center, where they are set up like a Jason Bourne movie, with some mousy guy telling everyone it is a Code Ten alert situation or something gay, as he tries to figure out how much celery I am buying.
How many ops centers are there like that? How many operations rooms like that are there per building? Where are they? How do you end up in one, following some soccer mom on a grocery run? Who is paying for it all?
What do you think those Fusion Centers were all about? And we are paying for it.
Maybe. My impression is those have some semblance of law enforcement about them though. The surveillance has none of that, IMO. It is strictly about finding anyone who might end up in any position of power and authority naturally, and making sure they stay in a lower station. Or get blackmail to control them.
This is the thing which murdered the Idaho college girls, killed Irah Sok, spotted victims for Jeffrey Epstein, and which over sees how the street gangs are running, and so on. There will be an FBI agent here and there who is in the conspiracy, but I am unsure they would show up to an entire fusion center just devoted to all that stuff.
But I cannot say no for sure, obviously those doors are barred to me.
I’ll bet that at a minimum they have a plant in every fusion center.
Huge facility UDC Utah data center. It’s all just a question of who has access. Large portions of the server could be dedicated to cabal with just a few key people to keep it compartmentalized.

There are probably layers of indirection; each level thinking they are the top dogs.

I’ve had a “lottery money” idea for a while to start a defense contractor on spec that makes 1 and 2 man electric go-karts for infantry that all charge up tethered to an IFV or a supply carrier type vehicle.
The idea for the supply vehicle was a M561 type vehicle with a modular trailer to just swap the back end based on mission. Diesel electric propulsion, with the engine compartment being a diesel generator, electric motor on each wheel hub, moderate sized battery pack, plenty of excess electric for the bed module or charge tethers. Infantry config is a command bed with platoon comms, TAK style terminal, and the rest is storage for rations, ammo, etc. Second vehicle is ambulance, literally the same bed but just designated for the medic and casualties. AC/heat in both. Stick a CROWS turret on top for self-defense.
As long as the trailer has motors on each hub, you just end up being limited by the power you can generate on the number of trailers you train along.
Once you start with this thing, every role on the battlefield will want one. An FSO version with a tethered drone for spotting. A mortar buggy. An FAC version with its own low-power radar station. Make one that’s just a huge water heater that drives around and gives troops a hot shower every few days.
Keep the buggies simple, though. Same electric drive idea, all battery power. No frills. A TAK tracker that can be controlled on the device (and turned off from the GOAT for emissions control) on a super low power mesh network, low intensity lights, crazy bright lights, and a hitch for an litter trailer. Keep your snivel gear on the GOAT to keep weight down on the buggy, you can get to it when you have to charge. A super simple “cruise control” so you can set a course and get both hands free for your weapon, but doctrinally you fight as dragoons, not cavalry.

Shit, it takes like 18 hours to print out a bracket for me to hang a NAS on my wall. You can probably mill it out of a solid 20 ton billet of steel faster.

I’m waiting to see the articulation/modularization and the go-carts, though.
Click in batteries like on the electric lawn equipment. Zero down time, just swap out batteries and charge them on the supply vehicle.
There’s a tradeoff between ease and reliability. These are military vehicles. That battery is a huge, delicate bomb. It’s going to have to have a ton of (not a ton, but probably 50-100 lbs) of armor. You’ll have to completely encapsulate the battery in some kind of composite armor box.
So, if the battery is being changed, does the armor live with the battery, or the buggy? If the armor goes with the battery, you can make some interconnects that make them easy and quick to change. If not, you have to engineer that box to be able to get the batteries in and out — without being damaged by a marine hopped up Monster energy and crayola — and also being able to reliably interconnect that power, without itself arcing and starting a fire or giving off a telltale EM spike that gives away the whole unit.
The whole thing would need to be modular, but I think the armor goes with the battery. That means that you can carry a couple of spares on the goat, but not a whole squad change, much less a platoon. High speed low drag guys with smaller unit sizes may be able to carry complete swaps, but not line dragoons.
There’s a reason the Toyota Hilux continues to win as the troop transport and agile equipment hauler top choice of insurgencies.
What you have may seem like a relatively straightforward build until you take into account how specialized it is in terms of repair scenarios.
Now if you can work about 80% of the HUD and mission logic into standardized components, with wiring kits to do mods in the field, that might be something that interests Big Western MIL and insurgents alike, especially if the mods are cheap, relatively fast and hard to fuck up, and can be moved as kits conveniently for installs and repairs.
But the first thought of any insurgent commander with money to spend on transport would be how many Toyota Hilux trucks they could buy for the price of one Gizmobuggy or its mod kits.
The second thought, of course, would be how many motocross bikes could be added to that order.
They might get most of the bang for the buck out of a mod kit in a backpack they can exfiltrate in a hurry, and so their third thought might be why they need to bolt all of this other shit on their perfectly good trucks and bikes.
Keep in mind one of the more successful military “mod shops” for Western militaries is up in Canada and they take Ford industrial trucks and harden them for conflicts.
They don’t build the core truck, they mod the truck as a rebuild, and they upsell the entire thing at a substantial premium. But in terms of concepts, you would be competing with anyone already working in that space for Western militaries, including those people if they decide to get out of the Ford MIL Hot Rod business and into buggies.
The Russians are thinking cheap, implementing cheap, and fucking with an opposing force who has trouble adapting to cheap hacks because of the Wondertoys at their disposal, hence the whinging of their women and also a few of their commanders.
Still, that Gizmobuggy sounds like it’s nice for some battle commanders to ride around in, the insurgents will be sure to swarm them with motocross bikes so they can requisition their own. 🙂
(This turned into a wall of text. Sorry, feel free to skip ramblings if you don’t care.)
I agree that a gizmobuggy is a disaster. I’m not proposing one. You asked about the HUD. No HUD. Mark 1 eyeballs. On the dash of the infantry buggy, it’s got a speedometer and a charge level gauge. Maybe a light that says “TROUBLE”. For the electronics, it’s got less than a $20 drone. A microcontroller to manage the battery, another microcontroller to balance the load between the motors. That’s it. No regen braking, no fancy efficiency BS, no tablet, just a dumb tracker that could be zip tied to the A frame in the prototype for the gizmos in the goat (which are current, off the shelf devices.)
I want an infantryman to get in this thing and drive it like a go-cart. He has a steering wheel and a brake pedal that makes it stop. He has a pedal that makes it go. That pedal has a detent at the “efficient” level of the cart, and if he pushes it hard, he pushes it past the detent into Military Power. No safeties. If you are in military power, you might burn up the battery or the motor or the wiring or all three. But if you need to take that chance, you NEED it.
The “cruise control” is a lever he can push on the steering wheel that locks the go pedal and the wheel in their current positions. That’s it. No fancy course following, no GPS, no nonsense. Just “keep doing this while I shoot that guy.” (I would like to test this in the prototyping. It seems better for it to be a pedal that he holds down with one foot, so if he gets zapped or thrown out the thing just doesn’t run forever, but I’m not sure how awkward that would be.)
Honestly, I expect these things to be so cheap that you swap out the composite battery armor with plain old steel and aluminum and sell them to the public as go-carts (with a hard stop on the military power where you can’t actually set the thing on fire by going fast.) Ogg should be able to explain how the thing works and how to work on it. “Battery make motor turn. Motor turn wheel, it go. Mash pedal, zoom zoom. Mash other pedal, errrrk. If light come on, sergeant yell at you. If you mash zoom zoom pedal past click, sergeant yell at you.”
Same with the goat. The back end can get as fancy as you want, but the powerplant is a bog simple diesel generator. You could probably take the drive train straight out of a Tesla and reuse all of it. Give the guy a military GPS unit in the cab, a little more control on generator output and all the gauges he needs for that, and at the end of the day, his controls aren’t that much different than the go-cart. Speedo, fuel gauge, battery gauge. I’m going back to the original Willys Jeep philosophy.
The original gama goat had two main problems. One, because it was diesel transmission driven, there was a complicated articulation between the front and the back to send power to the back two wheels, and it made the back an integral part of the vehicle. Second, the engine was fucking LOUD. TOO LOUD. TOO LOUD EVEN FOR A MILITARY VEHICLE.
We’re real good at making engines quieter now, and having it tuned for inverter use rather than transmission helps a lot as well. Changing it to electric also means that the complicated articulation is gone, and you just need a solid knuckle coupling that allows pushing and pulling from the back (because the trailers are also delivering traction) and some cables to connect the goat to the trailer (and through to doubles or triples.) You need a little more logic there to get the trailer wheels to steer with the goat, but again, that’s simple microcontroller shit, not a full blown computer. Also, now the back end can be its own traler, and you can get as simple or complicated as you want with that. In fact, as I’m thinking about it, you need a simple farm cart style trailer as a double for most missions, just to pile supplies in. If you really have to bug out from someplace, you can just combat-loss the farm cart and leave it behind. Toss an incendiary grenade in it and drive off.
Bikes are fantastic, but they take more training and are more dangerous. I don’t see SOCOM guys giving up bikes for these, but your average Kentucky redneck doing his six years before going back to Hawg Haller to join the PD? Yeah, these things are for Cephus there.
There are tons of ways that this idea falls apart. For one, getting the balance of “how much battery” for the goat. Diesel electric is hard to tune for small scale. It works for locomotives and mine trucks because they are SO heavy and locomotives don’t do as much stopping and starting. To accommodate the starting and stopping, you have to have enough battery for the spurts of power use, with enough generation from the inverter to charge the battery back up (plus overhead for the mission load). More battery means more weight, which leaves less weight for engine, fuel, etc. (Even if it isn’t street legal, the thing has to not be so heavy it’s street destructive.)
The point of this one is that you have to have the generator for the go-cart system. That means that the primary competition for this is, like you said, a hilux towing a generator trailer. That would be the price point that would have to be met.
I don’t know when they did it, but SOMEONE (guess which tribe lol) edited the Wikipedia page for Louis Brandeis and changed the Early Life so that what had been a more than sufficient description of Brandeis’s parents being Frankists is now a fragment and also slapped with a “citation needed” as if it’s even remotely questionable when it is, in fact, 100% FACT, and had neverrrrrr before been doubted. In other words: STREISAND EFFECT DEFCON-1, we found a winner, lads, this is a juicy target, frens, so, FIRE, by the grace of Saint Barbara AND Saint Barbra, for EFFECT! Spread the absolute shit out of any and every reliable source for Brandeis being a Frankist. There must have been way, way more famous Frankists than just Brandeis (maybe ALL the Jewish justices were Frankists, who knows yet) but more of the crypto variety. Here is a meme, attached, SPREAD IT, please. And here is a complementary Bitchute video with that meme as a preview pic and a YouTube video where some proud Jews paid video tribute to Jewish justices (without realizing it could be repurposed, probably) sped up and set to the Night Court theme song, creating a new video I’ve titled “Mite Court”, and if you like it, SPREAD THAT, also, please. Spread the meme and video like a crackwhore’s asscheeks, please, if you don’t mind, thanks. https://old.bitchute.com/video/gslrbWVpWaUX/
Trudeau announced his resignation.
One of the ways the Canadian political system is backwards is that they use a British style parliamentary system, combined with an American style convention system to select the party leaders. That means that months can go between a party leader stepping down and the replacement being selected. It doesn’t work if a replacement for the Prime Minister has to be selected now.
They are going to work around it by getting the Governor General to prorogue Parliament until March 24th, so no no confidence motion can be brought against the government in the meantime, and hopefully select the new Liberal leader then. This person could set a record for the shortest tenure as PM in Canadian history. But if the Cabal has a big move planned and coming up, this could all be just to buy time and freeze the Canadian political situation until they launch.
Its hard to believe this could be possible, but all of Trudeau’s potential successors are even bigger WEF stooges than Trudeau himself:

Canada as State? Even if it could be accomplished, MAGA should not want it. Imagine adding a net of 3-5 commie democrat/liberal reps and much worse…two commie democrat senators! No f*cking thank you. They have socialized medicine and a hard on for gun control, which is the will of the people (the people who count the Canuck votes). They’d endeavor to bring us their dysfunction.
Too much focus on the “practical” side of it.
Simple argument: Canadians aren’t Americans, so they can fuck off. No way for the enemy to weasel-word that into existance.
You’re thinking of it wrong. The same people grabbing American guns have been grabbing canadian guns. The same people counting American votes, were counting canadian votes. Merging the two countries allows Maga to Trump the Naga, cutting the serpent people off at the head, removing their nest.
Russia’s e-scooter soldiers
This is why long ago I came to the conclusion that some sort of walker, like a big ostrich, would be optimal. For speed, mine protection and cost.
Slanted bottoms and high off the ground would protect from mines like South African’s troop transports. Solar power roof with battery for 12 hours and diesel or even better heat engine back up for means cutting resupply lines. Weapons could be two Men, machine guns, portable anti-tank and they could also carry 120mm or other motors on swivel mounts. I wrote about this here with a, very bad, picture.

Needs a “Turtle” shell added like the Russians do in Ukraine.
And I’d mix it with Bradley like vehicles with Turtle Shells added for heavier firepower.
Whatever design you go with needs to be focused on being small, plentiful, fast, and cheap.
Don’t try to make the vehicle damage proof, weapons have surpassed defenses unless some new breakthrough occurs, it just needs to defeat small arms and hopefully allow the men onboard to survive and escape after it’s hit.
Lots of targets that are a waste of whatever heavy weapons are used on them is the way to go.
Air assets should go the same way as long as they aren’t replaced entirely by drones (manned vehicles can’t be jammed).
Instead of 2 or 3 expensive attack helicopters send out 20 minicopters.
The same needs to be done for weapons for different reasons, keep some of the bleeding edge high tech stuff, but make a bunch of low tech high volume rockets with warheads that just fly where you aim them.
Fire a pod of 9 at once at targets like a rocket shotgun.
Bring back ultra high rate of fire multi barrel mobile AA guns to swat drones out of the sky with a wall of lead.
Apply the same philosophy to every system you can think of.
The US and Russia won WWII, Germany lost.
So why have we been imitating Germany’s strategy of pushing the tech envelope instead of making something pretty good in mass quantities?
That’s the doctrine of China for years. Now Russia and Iran. That’s how Iran hit Israel so easily. They flew in hundreds of cheap junk missiles and hid the percussion rockets amongst them.
“…Whatever design you go with needs to be focused on being small, plentiful, fast, and cheap…”
“…Don’t try to make the vehicle damage proof, weapons have surpassed defenses unless some new breakthrough occurs, it just needs to defeat small arms and hopefully allow the men onboard to survive and escape after it’s hit…” Yes. I would armor to the level that it would defeat .50 cal. machine guns. High slanted walls as shown can take a remarkable blast from mines and not be destroyed. The legs might be blown off but that;s why Iincluded back ups.
“…The same needs to be done for weapons for different reasons, keep some of the bleeding edge high tech stuff, but make a bunch of low tech high volume rockets with warheads that just fly where you aim them…”
There is a role for some high tech if we could keep them from looting the treasury. You can get a ESP32 microprocessor that can do face recognition. It could easily lock on a target you select and then fly to it even if it moves as it would constantly be updated, so even if it moved it would be locked to the object, person, vehicle, whatever. These things cost about $4
“…ultra high rate of fire multi barrel mobile AA guns to swat drones out of the sky with a wall of lead…”
Agree again.
“…Apply the same philosophy to every system you can think of…”
Yes
“…So why have we been imitating Germany’s strategy of pushing the tech envelope instead of making something pretty good in mass quantities?…”
There is a problem with this. They almost won. I could think of a few slight changes Germany could have done, of course easy to see after the fact, and we would have likely lost. There’s also the distinct possibility that we are not seeing some things that Germany built that if they would have done so earlier and got some numbers in production could have ruined us.
And we’re not talking about much time either. If 6 months earlier Germany had 20,000 of those heat seeking missiles they made combined with their jet fighters they could have shot down every bomber and it would have crushed the pressure on them. Without air dominance we could not have taken France much less Germany.
One of my favorite examples is the Me323
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_323
If they had 10,000 of those when they invaded Russia they could have taken the oil fields in the South and then rapidly flew Men and supplies all over the steppes, cutting off Russian advances. The Germans lost Stalingrad because of insufficiency of transport. Or that’s, sort of, according to David Irving. To be clear he does not exactly state that, but it’s easy to come to this conclusion if you read all his books. That plane had great rough field capability. We should have this, now, ourselves.
In fact what we need is a heliplane. I have no idea why we do not. Boeing made a small one but abandoned it because it wouldn’t bring in quick revenue. A rotating/swing wing would be the ultimate transport. The one we do have, the V-22 is retarded and stupid. It doesn’t make a good helicopter because its propellors are too small, and it doesn’t make much of a plane either because of all the drag from those big ass propellers. It’s just stuipid.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_X-50_Dragonfly
They had most of the ideas right here by using the jet engine to drive the tips of the wings. Not like the retarded V-22 which burns holes in the runways with its engines. So take this and combine it with,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_wing
Wings that rotate like helicopters need far less power to take off. They use the speed of the air over the spinning wings and can slowly lift off. So you spin wings to take off, after you take off, stop the wing and make it perpendicular, for medium speed and high lift, or at high speeds (and low drag) scissor the wing obliquely. You also get short take off and landing at low speeds because you can make the wings long for low speed and by swinging them still have low drag at high speeds. Another benefit is if you have a runway you can way over load it, spin the wings or just use a long runway to take off and get in the air. But once you burn fuel and unload, then it’s easy to land and take off again for unimproved fields. So you get huge range from fixed runways while not giving up random fields to take off and land at.
Wunderwaffen are fine for research and a few elite units, but they must not be what you rely on in any great numbers, they break your bank and you lose too much when you lose one because you just wont have nearly as many even if you produce as many as you can.
And I’d try to armor the mass produced stuff against 20mm cannon fire if that’s not too much more expensive or heavy etc. than what it takes for 50 cal.
“…20mm cannon fire…”
I think that’s too much. Too much weight. I have a reason for stopping at .50 cal. .50 cal you can mount on a really small vehicle or in a dugout. Basically you can move it by hand reasonably well. Due to the high angles frontal on the walker it would be hard to shoot through even lightly armored walker. The 20mm is likely going to take a much bigger vehicle so…easier to see and difficult to wrassle around by hand without equipment. I think you could hit it, hopefully, before it hits you. Speed is of the essence. Hand held weapons can take out tanks. Better to have something small, superfast that you can haul ass up to attack ppints, fire off rounds then run away.
I’m thinking of ambushes.
But the 20mm is smaller than you think, the cannon is just a little bigger than an M2 Browning comparatively.

I thought 20mm was bigger. But I wouldn’t want to the one who had to tote that big thing. At some point you have to stop. I say .50 but you might disagree. I think you start having big weight issues and you are right back where you started with something you can’t move fast and sucks up fuel.
With armor piercing rounds it will be difficult to stop 20mm.
It’s about 1/3 bigger. .50 is 12.7mm.
Really it’s the same percentage jump from 7.62mm to a .50. That’s a huge difference.

No they are flat bottomed.
Robots are nowhere near good enough to be bipedal, and even further from being good at bipedal motion. It’s far too complex of a movement system for robots to comprehend for the next century at least.
Then there’s the intangible of being elevated unnecessarily high off the ground as a tactical failure point: can’t rapidly get out without risking injury, if it is legged or tips over you risk fall injury or getting crushed, you can be seen from further away, removed from natural ground-based cover and concealment, etc.
Tracked vehicles have dominated a variety of terrain for dozens of years. Easier to maintain, moves across a variety of terrain efficiently, less fiddly bits to get wonky than bipedal bots.
Simplicity is good.
This post is not helping us get to a place where we can have Mech Wars.
Use the gyro that keeps Segways from tipping over. The trick with bipedal transport is the constant balance. If the turret was stable that solves most issues. Abrams tanks use them in the turret to keep a stable firing platform while the treads are going all catawampus underneath.
You can get these in off the shelf drones. I really think with all the AI we have now it would be far faster to make something like this. In the old days you would calculate all this stuff and it would take forever. Today you could send the AI a CAD drawing, what weights it carried, what power it had to drive its actuators and it could give you some rough control circuit in a few minutes. Then run the thing around with all sort of weights in different conditions, all the while programming its control circuit and feeding back its responses to the AI. You might need a lot of compute to get the prototype software but once the control circuit is made you just copy it over and over. This is the sort of stuff AI’s excel at. They can’t do everything, but they are really good at basic engineering task if you point them in the right direction and give them all the data needed to make the compute.
“Robots are nowhere near good enough to be bipedal, and even further from being good at bipedal motion. It’s far too complex of a movement system for robots to comprehend for the next century at least…”
You’re just flat out wrong about this. Next century???? Try next year. We already have rudimentary ones now. Musk has one, and here’s robots playing soccer by themselves. They are preprogrammed and decide on all their moves independently. They look a bit retarded but that’s only because their actuators are not as flexible or able to bend in as many degrees as humans. But for a big mech human flexibility would not be necessary.

“…Then there’s the intangible of being elevated unnecessarily high off the ground as a tactical failure point: can’t rapidly get out without risking injury…”
I’m way ahead of you. Ever see a camel bend down to let people off? Same.
“…if it is legged or tips over you risk fall injury or getting crushed…”
The solar panel is mounted on a big roll bar. See the spare legs. You trip, the leg shoots out front and rolls you to keep you from face-planting. You also wear a helmet with a head/neck brace. They use these on Formula One race cars for the drivers. There’s a video of a racer that had his steering break, he runs into a wall at 140 miles per hour and while he does get burnt some when it catches on fire(they got him out), he is otherwise not hurt. You can take really high decelerations “IF” the neck is supported so it doesn’t break. I’ve put some thought into this.
“…you can be seen from further away, removed from natural ground-based cover and concealment, etc…”
Two ways to look at this. You can be seen from farther away up high, or, you can see farther ahead, up high. If you can, being higher up, see people sooner, you can shoot at them sooner. And don’t forget, it can squat like a camel
and shimmy forward. Let’s also not forget that ALL troop transports now are high because they all have slanted bottoms like the South African transports because to not do so means everyone is killed by mines if they hit them so…Normal new tracked transports can NOT squat down like this one can, so it makes mechs lower than what we have now.
“…less fiddly bits to get wonky than bipedal bots.

I suspect a few linear actuators driven by electricity would be far, far, more robust than tank tracks with all the serious major friction they have. Rolling metal parts with hundreds of bearings around in the mud is not a recipe for reliability. Electric actuators could be totally contained.
We already have the electric motors, we have the batteries, we have many large AI’s that could game the software, we have the solar panels and surely we can make a 3HP diesel. It mostly just needs someone to put the pieces together. I bet with a team fully concentrated they could build a prototype in 6 months, do the programming by running the things all over, self-correcting its walking programs by “walking it” for another six months and you would have it.

Somebody wants him gone, and this is the length they will go to in order to do it. You know he doesn’t go down alone for this.
Trump certified. Watch rats scuttle.
UK GCHQ boss, or MFI-6(?) resigned when Trump became POTUS.
People have been complaining about Trudeau for years. The media drum beat against Trudeau started hours after he said that he would uphold international law. Specifically, the arrest warrant on Netanyahu. The toppling of Trudeau is a measure of Jewish power and influence in Canada.
