I think I found a temporary solution to the video glitches that have plagued some of my appearances on various podcasts. I moved to a different room, closer to the router. I am in the process of working out a more permanent solution. Thanks for your patience. The Judge and I discuss the collection of intelligence and the threat posed to the principle of privacy implied, but not explicitly stated, in the Constitution.
If you use a cell phone, a computer connected to the internet or a credit card then you are being spied on — i.e., a third party is collecting information about your private activities. The pre-computer world of spying, where you could get a passport in another name and travel undetected is extinct. Advances in facial recognition software and other bio-identity technologies makes it quite easy for an intelligence organization to ferret out someone traveling in alias.
We also discuss the myth that there are “17 intelligence agencies” in the United States. What the average person, American or foreign, fails to grasp is that there are only 7 actual collectors of raw intelligence — i.e., the CIA, the NSA, the DIA, the Department of State, the FBI, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). I include the State Department because the cable traffic sent from U.S. embassies is a form of human intelligence. I also include the FBI on the list because they do some intelligence collection, but most of the information they assemble cannot be disseminated because it is used to build criminal cases. The other ten agencies are consumers of the products produced by the 7 listed above.
Then there is Ukraine’s “clone” problem. What do I mean by that? I will again draw on a cinematic reference to make the point. Twenty seven years ago Michael Keaton starred in a low budget, but funny movie — Multiplicity. He found a way to clone himself with the ostensible purpose of being able to work more effectively, but with each succeeding generation of clone, the divergence from the original Keaton became more dysfunctional. The fourth iteration produced a mentally challenged individual.
So what does that have to do with Ukraine? We are nearing the moment when Ukraine is going to have to try to scrap together a fourth iteration of its army. The first was essentially destroyed in the first three months of the Special Military Operation. The second was finished off during the battle of Bakhmut and the third “clone” is being savaged in the much ballyhooed and long awaited counter offensive. As was the case with the four different versions of the character played by Michael Keaton, each new iteration of the Ukrainian military force is less capable and less experienced.
The Ukrainian military’s biggest deficit is the lack of experienced commanders — I’m talking about Lt. Colonels, Colonels and Generals. These ranks have killed and wounded and their replacements are taking command of units with little experience in commanding battalions and brigades. A good friend, who is a graduate of West Point and spent a good portion of his career in Europe, reminded me of this key principle the other day:
The breakdown in training comes at the higher levels, senior NCOs company and field grade officers.
Those are the guys that normally require years to train, drill, develop.
The normal cycle where a Captain or a Major would spend two years under the command of a Lt. Colonel or Colonel and learn by observing and doing does not exist in Ukraine. And do not forget the vital role played by talented 30 year old master sergeants, who provide guidance and counsel to inexperienced Lieutenants and Captains as well as experienced officers. One of Ukraine’s problems is that young officers are being rapidly promoted to command positions they have not been properly trained to assume because of the grievous combat casualties among senior officers. This may offer one partial explanation for the failure of the current counter offensive — e.g., inexperienced officers have employed tactics that a more grizzled veteran would avoid and they did not have a good NCO at their side.
It takes time and financial resources to reconstitute shattered military units. And Ukraine does not have the luxury of time. Apart from trying to cope with the staggering losses in manpower and materiel, Ukraine is under enormous pressure from its Western sponsors to show some major progress. That political pressure raises the likelihood of reckless, counter productive operations. If there is a fourth attempt to rebuild the Ukrainian Army it is likely to resemble version number 4 of the Michael Keaton clone.
I don’t know if you’ve seen the strong rumours on Telegram that a whole platoon of US regular military special forces has been completely wiped out in Ukranazistan. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the Bidet regime sent in regular troops to fight; I’ve been predicting since 2019 that Russia would someday have to fight a major war against NATO regular troops in Ukranazistani uniform.
I have not seen that but would not be surprised.
Larry says:

Ukraine is under enormous pressure from the West to show progress. That raises the likelihood of reckless operations.
My comment:
You analysis makes sense, taking into account that Ukraine has been at war since 2014, and that the Ukrainian Military has been eradicated twice by the militias of Donetsk and Luhansk, before Russia intervened in the conflict in 2022.
However, there is a much more sinister explanation for the large casualty among Ukrainian troops.
NAZI back stoppers.
Since 2014, members of the AZOV battalion have been used as Back stoppers to keep the Ukrainian infantry from retreating when they are met with heavy fire.
The Saker Blog is filled with reports from captured Ukrainian Soldiers reporting to be fired upon by AZOV commandoes, when they tried to retreat. There is also lots of report of Ukrainian commanders leading their troops to the frontline, and then abandoning them.
The Saker blog is now frozen. But all the reports are saved, and backed up elswhere, as future evidence for what really happened during the 9 year long war.
https://thesaker.is
I remember back during the battle over the Donetsk airport in 2014, reports that Yarosh (neo-nazi extraordinaire) was doing just that, backstopping UA troops from retreating.
Ouch! Hot potato.
What would Putin do with that info? Announce it to the Russian public and they’ll be baying for blood.
The Bidet name makes me imagine Bidet walking to the podium with two hoses coming out below the waist of his pants . Two flunkies following. One with an iv bottle of water held above Bidets head connected to one hose the other with a bed pan on a wagon following connected to the other.
Simplicius blog on substack has a video in his latest article SITREP 6/21/23: Russia Re-Orients to Kupyansk in Surprise Advance. Not everyone was killed. A US merc wore a gopro.
It takes many years to build the institutional knowledge for these officers. Essentially, the Ukrainians, owing to the pressure of the Western world, sent troops into a heavily defended Russian position. They clearly didn’t want to do this attack, but will lose a substantial amount of what experienced veterans they have left.
I’m seeing increasingly shrill commentary in the Western world demanding that Poland, the Baltic states, or some other NATO countries send their forces in. Perhaps that is as close as we are going to get to recognition in the Western media that the Ukrainian military has depleted the population in terms of manpower and capable officers. So far they seem to be keeping the delusional “Ukraine is winning” message.
There seem to be also growing demands to send fighter aircraft to Ukraine. Presumably, like officers, there would be Western pilots from Europe or the US flying these aircraft, and responsible for the maintenance, as there is no way to train Ukrainian military forces in the necessary timeframe. These aircraft-related staff, like officers, are very specialized skills.
The irony of this situation is that even if the hawks get their wish, they won’t be able to turn this around. The European NATO countries really don’t have a clue how to fight a war without air nor artillery superiority. Neither does the US, to be blunt, although the mainstream media is unable to admit this. Any officers and pilots sent would be facing heavy casualties.
US, EU is sending too little, too late, too old, seems on purpose. I heard HIMARs were programmed not to fire on Russian territory. Thus, likely this is a kayfabe war at some level, perhaps inside the Pentagon upper levels, unknown to Washington? Which we should be thankful for, because means less chance of nukes.
Actions are only senseless if you think it’s US’s goal for Ukraine to win. If actual goal is for Ukraine to lengthily take the fall while chewing up stuff, for various interests, it makes much more sense. What do you think?
Like that blackrock recruiter creep said. “We love this war. The longer it drags on, the more money we make.”
The chaps at the Duran mentioned the reprogramming last year.
Their thesis was that there are at least some sane people in the pentagon.
Off topic, but I’m going to put this up for discussion. The Ukraine is using Storm Shadow missiles to strike Crimea. It would sure be a shame if the “Chunnel” got blown up like Nordstream.
The bolsheviks from 1917 would have no compunction in inflicting horrific slaughter on its adversary, (innocent public) which would be inevitable should the rail +road link in the English Channel be attacked.
The Godless West has more in common with the former USSR, likewise, Holy Russian leadership is the last vestige of true Christianity.
No, Putin’s Russia is not morally capable of the heinous.
I do find it fascinating how things have flipped.
Why that? How many hydrocarbon pipelines are there on the Gulf of Mexico seabed feeding onto ‘merican shores?
‘Do you want another oil spill clean up, punk? Well, do ya?’.
You bring up an scenario that makes me think. Certainly I could see more Nordstream incidents in Europe. Unconventional warfare.
I am c
The Ukroids, defeated in the field, will increase their terror campaign, assassination and sabotage. MI6 and the CIA will direct, supply and manage.
Don’t think for a moment that the United States hasn’t thought about “chunneling it.” Just like Diana got “tunneled.” So much critical civilian infrastructure to be blown up. And so little time.
It’s revealing that the country that supplies the equipment is expecting results. The folks losing all the people have to jump through hoops for their supper. Human life is getting cheaper, bad sign.
It seems to me that hawkish Western politicians and neoconservatives are utterly incompetent at understanding how warfare actually works, despite their hawkish military stance.
The idea that weapons requires extensive training, lots of logistics, and that large scale manufacturing needs a strong industrial base that no longer exists in the Western world seems to have escaped them. Not to mention, the corrupt politicians brought this deindustrialization among themselves with their free trade agreements and their greed.
Weapons are also designed as a part of a larger system and doctrine. A weapon like the Leopard 2 or any other military equipment exists in a system as a part of a larger doctrine. Ukraine cannot replicate that overnight.
Effectively the Western plan is now to send Western weapons to Ukraine with troops that have inadequate training and demand that Ukraine attack the Russians, who are well prepared and who have superior military intelligence collection, meaning it will be hard for Ukraine to gain the element of surprise.
For all their ideology favoring more war, the Western political class doesn’t understand basic warfare.
But “we” are paying for their pensions and payrolls at the same time.
Yes, jump for your supper … it’s no cliche.

This site seems to have good instructions for embedding videos:
https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-easily-embed-videos-in-wordpress-blog-posts/
If you use the ‘block editor’ it looks really clear. Go to “If you want to add a video from a website outside this list” and follow those instructions. Brighteon has the embed code available if you hit the share button on the video. It’s next to the button on the lower right that enlarges the video.
Rumble has an embed (spelled out) button underneath the video but it has code for a player so I’m not sure if that would work. Maybe try this out on a scratch blog first. It’s not as easy as the whitelisted sites, but you can do this with the instructions for free. Otherwise there are paid tools you can get.
no single experienced ground officer could make his part in the current offensive succeed, things are to stacked against him and his group to even survive let alone advance.
a pool of experienced people all making the right decisions may make a difference, but wont overcome the realities on the ground that the offensive was doomed to failure from the start.
Im of the view the offensive was a political choice and was done due to external pressures from the US (most likely) for upcoming election reasons.
Larry:
Thanks for your assessment for the expected results of this 4th Ukrainian army. It’s obvious to anyone doing research on the fighting that the Ukrainians are lacking in a coherent battlefield strategy; and so much more. One of the things I find interesting is the almost complete failure of Western supplied weapons. I understand that the Ukrainians are not sufficiently trained but, even so, the failure of some of the weapons systems and the Russian ability to disable and negate their effectiveness looks like a serious issue. Patriots, HIMARS and Storm Shadow missiles have proven to be largely ineffective. The Russians, on the other hand, seem to operate with impunity. ie; They hit what they aim at…
I feel a shift coming in the international balance of power with possibly some very severe economic consequences to follow. ??
I think you’re right.
I will disagree with you on one point : weapons failure. The weapons delivered mostly didn’t failed (Well the patriots did) but an M777 still can shot the intended range and deliver a shell with the intended kill radius. Same for the HIMARS, the Storm Shadows or even the Leopards.
Someone just throw weapons in Ukraine like man throw money at problems and here we are … tanks charging in minefields as if they had air-cover and a terrain prepped for them by sappers, unprotected howitzers hunted by drones and HIMARS bombing markets in terror attacks.
It’s like giving a man cologne : if he drinks it, he’ll be drunk for sure (with a fresh breath) , but also ended up blind from methanol poisoning… gross miss-usage.
I believe xi said last year that the world will change more over the coming short term than it has in the last 100 years.
We should recognise that, contrary to western MSM propaganda, Putin and Xi are nationalist’s, they are not interested in taking over the world. The west is China’s biggest customer, what’s the point in turning it into an impoverished communist society? No profit in that.
The west has practised the policy of regime change and internal conflict in far flung nations since WW2, the pattern is always the same, and the same tactics used in Ukraine are about to be used in Taiwan.
Ukraine has been used as a battering ram to depose Putin, but who will replace him? Probably not someone with his restraint.
And if the west were ever successful and Russia began to fall apart, what is the risk that some of it’s nuclear arsenal falls into the wrong hands? Russia has it’s own problems with internal, religion based terrorism and Uyghur Muslims are known to have links with ISIS etc.
Globalisations isn’t an eastern desire, it’s a western one. Projection is the name of the game. Whilst propagandising the threats of Russia and China it distracts from the authoritarianism creeping into western societies. It distracts from the humanitarian disaster in Ukraine with hundreds of thousands of lives being lost on the battlefield and the refugee crisis now sweeping western Europe.
If anyone believes covid was a deliberate release of a gain of function flu (which I didn’t believe) to coincide with the 2020 US Presidential elections when eminently corruptible postal voting was expanded and the just as fraudulent drop boxes were widespread, I now have some empathy with that belief.
It’s not like we don’t know that BLM and antifa were well financed operations, much from George Soros’ Open Society, via innumerable activist and charitable groups. They again, appear to be the magicians distraction from the objective of installing Biden to ram through green policies and continue the stalled (thanks to Trump) globalist march across America and Europe.
Now they have hit a Russian brick wall they didn’t anticipate. If Russia can’t be kicked out of Ukraine, NATO and the UN will be entirely discredited. BTW has anyone heard a squeak from the UN objecting to the Ukrainian conflict, offering to broker peace negotiations, or anything at all?
Without overwhelming Russia and China, globalism dies a very rapid death.
Globalism Lite doesn’t work very well.
Yes good points, but there is no rational direction apparent from the provocatuers who initiated the conflict. I am not speaking about the RF who was pushed into responding.
This seems to be, for lack of better term, neocon mackinder fantasy directed war on the RF. Operated by the neocon ascendancy directing the pentagon and thru them, OTAN, with the bodies that meet the bullets being uknonazis and those they can press-gang into kannon fodder.
UAF #1, the best OTAN proxy ever, was smashed by a much, much smaller force.
UAF #2, pumped full of wunderwaffen and ‘volunteer OTAN in ukronazi drag kindly fed itself into RF mestgrinders over last fall and winter into the spring.
UAF #3 with even more wunderwaffen, including the amazing deutsche pussykattenpanzers again on the steppes after being expelled 79 years ago and more OTAN ‘volunteers’ in ukronazi drag being unable to get past forward RF positions to reach the first line of RF defense the past almost 3 weeks since the great ‘spring” – err… make that summer offensive began.
Now from where comes UAF #4? The kannon fodder volkssturm of 65 year olds has to be getting smaller in the greater 404 wreich. So, when does the OTAN troops lose the ukronazi drag and just make a move? The Poles and Baltics inro Gallacia? Some chatter that the hyena pole gov’t is fomenting a move at Belarus under the guise of ‘Belarus’ dissidents to coincide the the Vilnius party. A Romainan/US push into Moldava and ‘peacekeeping’ mission to Odessa? Supported by air from deutchevasselramstein and assorted OTAN airstrips?
What is the RF response? Well. play back serious statements made by Putin, Lukashenko, Shoigu the past week.
The neomorons never considered the response that their actions provoked, never considered the resolve and capabilties of their chosen opponent and never planned out how their’grand’ mackinder fantasy could be acheived.
More cowbell – colour revolutions for everyone! OK, well, just wipe out the Donbas, RF will collapse under the unkronazi SS Azov, Right Sektor, Kraken sturm und drang! OK, well, then, wunderwaffens! OK, more wunderwaffens and OTAN in ukronazi drag! Oh, well now…. Too bad, europa – was nice knowin’ ya!
So, the escalations continue, oblivious to to the neomorons that they have engaged the premiere nuclear power on the planet. Even seeming pentagon and alphabet agency leaks by a sane faction that does realize the implications of the trajectory, are downplayed, ignored by the ministry of propaganda ‘news organs.’
Even Blynkins transparent feint to buy time by begging for a visit to China, couldn’t be left alone. DId sully or wynkin write the telepropter speech for Nod (brandon bi-dette) the day after blynkin left China? Well, pro-tip: The Chinese knew ithe trip was crap. Who was the speech for?
Interesting timez…
Speaking of provocateurs….
BlackRock Recruiter Who ‘Decides People’s Fate’ Says ‘War is Good for Business’ https://youtu.be/tgONwXR1Uwo
Don’t you just want to smack this guy?
Oh yes and then some!! But where to start? There are so many of them. Perhaps a missile strike by VP somewhere? One of my favorite movies is “Assault on Wall Street”.
Hopefully he will be an early conscript, gets 3 weeks training then exported to 404 for disposal.
Here’s a scenario…”they” ( deep state players ) don’t want a 2024 election. They need a ” National Emergency” to declare Martial Law, and preferably an action from which they can impose Continuity of Government process -which means some govt ops/leaders have been impacted( who’s s on third after that? ) . Allows them to bypass constitution safeguards.
If US troops are now in the fight???….Russia responds or false flag incident initiated -you tell me.
I suspect that as 2024 approaches, Biden, who looks like a bad bet, will be replaced in the last moment by Killary. All that is needed is to engineer some major health issue for their current proposed candidate and parachute her into the driving seat. If timing is right, no Dem will be able to object.
The problem with the Hillary scenario is that there are persistent rumors that her health is failing. When she does make appearances, she looks terrible. A more likely scenario would be Michelle/Michael Obama.
Neither.
It will be a good looking articulate puppet.
Ostensibly, a centrist that the Karen’s can gush over.
My vote’s with a Chucky doll. He’s so cute and business as usual, an added benefit. In a recession, we need predictability.
People don’t seem to notice that this is an ongoing coup taking over United States.
Like Mike Tyson famously quipped: “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”
I think that might really be “the thing” that happened to the (US-NATO-led) Ukie army.
For years both Russia and China have modernized & improved their weapons systems. But US fixation on Middle East has allowed our technological edge and improvements to degrade. But the military congressional industrial complex and DOD Pentagon CIA seem to be living in the past and I fear that the Admirals & Generals are going to get a lot of people slaughtered!
I doubt that is true.
US has Israel with a technological defence sector busy innovating
I doubt USAF or USN have been influenced by US forays into Afghan or Iraq or Syria so it is mainly the reconfigured USMC to act more like Waffen-SS than a maritime expeditionary force and probably use of National Guard in place of regular army
Perhaps Russia and China are not using these weapons systems on their own people, while the United States is. All this “humming” going on promoting early onset and accelerated cases of dementia, aphasia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s disease, and the Havanna Syndrome is just the United States, a declining hegemon, striking out at the only enemy it has any control over — its own people.
Larry,
I’m an electrician, I’ve solved problems like yours for video transfer from a computer in one room to a computer in another. You need to run a Category 5 wire from a Cat 5 port in your router to a Cat 5 port in your computer. If the computer doesn’t have one, you can buy an adapter that plugs into a USB port.
I run the wires inside the wall and make female plugs in the walls, then connect with patch cords. The reason I make the in-wall outlets female is it’s more reliable to terminate them and you get a nice finished looking Decora style permanent wall outlet for your LAN. Adding a male end can be done, but isn’t as reliable and it doesn’t give a professional appearance to the wall.
You can run an exterior cord with two male ends for a test. I don’t monitor the comments, there’s no way to just get when one of my comments, gets comment, I get everything and my inbox is buried in an avalanche.
HTH
That’s a quick way to troubleshoot the issue to determine if the wireless connection is the cause. However getting the house wired for CAT 5 is an undertaking.
If running a cable resolves the issue, I’d start to look at the equipment. How old is the router, is it patch up to date, does it support 5GHz (more bandwidth, lower range)?
How about the computer, does the NIC support 5GHz? Is the processor & video card adequate for the task?
Larry, obviously you are using a wireless connection between your computer and the internet router. This is likely the cause of your recurrent video glitches. Such problems are much less likely with a wired connection, known as ethernet.
Your internet router should have an ethernet jack on it. Your computer may not have such a jack (they used to be common), but ethernet adapters are easily available (check on Amazon.com) for around $20 that can be plugged into a USB port on the computer. You can then run an ethernet cable from the router to the computer. Such cables are not expensive and can be bought in lengths of 50 feet or even more, if needed. I use such a wired setup myself for recording remote sessions that I then mix for radio shows on WBAI in New York City.
The problem is the physical location of my office.
It may be a long shot, but sometimes Bluetooth devices interfere with WiFi signal (especially when they share the same frequency channel, you can change it on most routers though). Since it’s a zero cost attempt, I’d try to turn off any Bluetooth device between the router and your office, and / or accessing the router’s advanced settings and set its channel on a different frequency. About that, there’s a lot of phone apps that monitor traffic intensity along the WiFi channels, so you can easily choose one that’s less crowded – that might even improve your wireless signal.
This is another reason why Larry should implement a wired solution if at all possible. Wireless internet is prone to interference dropouts. Going wired solves that problem.
Larry,
1. Connect a CAT5 cable from one of the RK45 (Ethernet ports) on your router . If your router doesn’t have RJ45 outputs , but a new router.
2. If the CAT5 cabling is a problem to the desired location , use a TP-Link Powerline adapter. It uses the AC wiring in your house as the transport mechanism. Put one adapter near the router and the 2nd adapter in whatever room you plan to use your PC.
https://www.tp-link.com/ca/home-networking/powerline/tl-pa4010-kit/
I have been using these for several years at two separate locations with no problems.
One caveat. If you live in a condo/apartment a powerline adapter may not work as your neighbour will most likely be powered from the same AC source , so if they are also using an adapter it may cause . If you are in a single family house the adapter signal cannot get past the AC house meter.
wired connection. Much faster and not subject to the air around you. If it glitches there is another issue causing it.
Use an ethernet cable between your video device and router. It will fix your wifi bandwidth problem. Wire is cheap and fast.
Sorry. Not physically possible.
How about a wifi booster? https://www.cnet.com/home/internet/best-wifi-extender/
Or run a subnet using second router and go 5GHz
Larry, have you tried using a range extender?
https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Extender-RE715X-Repeater-Compatible/dp/B0B8BVY12V/ref=sxin_16_ac_d_bv?ac_md=5-3-QWJvdmUgJDEwMA%3D%3D-ac_d_bv_bv_bv&content-id=amzn1.sym.8f2bf95d-b9c2-4e6d-96a9-5fdf77a1951d%3Aamzn1.sym.8f2bf95d-b9c2-4e6d-96a9-5fdf77a1951d&crid=2F0W207KWE0KV&cv_ct_cx=wifi%2Brange%2Bextender&keywords=wifi%2Brange%2Bextender&pd_rd_i=B0B8BVY12V&pd_rd_r=53e891af-0452-4705-8c81-41c4026b63f8&pd_rd_w=ur2VH&pd_rd_wg=JWgqm&pf_rd_p=8f2bf95d-b9c2-4e6d-96a9-5fdf77a1951d&pf_rd_r=2KXH7D6WVSKQNWJQTRGY&qid=1687504279&sprefix=wifi%2Brange%2Bextender%2Caps%2C761&sr=1-3-270ce31b-afa8-499f-878b-3bb461a9a5a6&th=1
Buying off amazon is supporting WaPo propaganda and inches the world ever closer to nuclear war. I try to keep my purchases to a bare minimum.
There is power line networking technology available. It would connect your router to a local power plug then use your building’s power wires to send data. You plug in an adapter to the power plug where your computer is and whamo you’ve got ‘wired ethernet’. Search your favorite store for ‘powerline network adapter starter kit’.
Wireless sucks.
Larry,
tp link powerline
routes LAN thru your houses’ copper power wires.
plug one in by your router and one by your pc. No need for cables
simples
Second the recommendation.
These problems are almost always due to WiFi reception/interference.
UTP cable can extend up to 5m, but apparently not good enough for you.
The easiest solution is to use the wiring already in your house, using a Powerline solution such as the TP-LINK TL-WPA4220T Starter Set for about $80.
You have two extra rooms with WiFi, and you can even connect by UTP cable to the adapter in the electrical receptacle for even better connectivity.
Or pay a teen-ager nearby to sort it out for you.
I use a TP-link pair, if your office is remote then an electrician could join up the two circuits/radials at the consumer unit.
I also have 4 TP-Link Powerline adaptors on the same ring main. Two in the house connecting the TV to my router, one in a garden shed to power a Mesh WiFi and the other in the summerhouse about 50 metres from the house for another Mesh WiFi unit and the TV/android box up there. All using a bog standard, copper cable, British Telecom connection running at 76mb. We have had 4 PC’s, at least one tablet and 4 mobile phones running on them simultaneously during lockdown when everyone was working from home. Excellent technology.
Larry,
I use a pair of powerline adaptors to get my internet from the router to the room I have my PC,
plug one in the wall socket by the router, hook it up to the router with an ethernet lead,
plug it’s partner into the wall socket in the room your PC is located in and just run an ethernet lead from it to your PC,
it’s just as good as an ethernet lead all the way, but it piggybacks the signal on the domestic wiring,
I’ve been using the same pair for over a decade without any glitches,
in the US it looks like they sell in the $50 – $100 range for a matched pair,
The main problem with Ukrainian army is perhaps most of their troops don’t yet realize they are being abused mentally, emotionally, even sexually and above all used as canon fodders in exchange for a handful of dollars Zelinsky and his team receive from NATO which they put in their pockets behind Ukrainians back.
Just translate and distribute that interview of the BlackRock recruiter to every trench rat in the AFU and they’ll be marching on Zelensky’s bungalow in a NY minute. https://youtu.be/tgONwXR1Uwo
I would refer to the sound problem.
I said a long time ago that there was a problem with the transport, and since it appeared in all your videos, I understood that the problem was in your house.
My assumption is that you are using a 2.4G Wifi network and that your channel is in collision with the neighboring network.
There are plenty of solutions.
Check which channel is free or switch to 5G and some free channel on that network. Anyone with a mediocre knowledge of wifi networks will easily solve the problem. If that doesn’t help, there’s always cable.
Anyway, we will finally hear what you have to say in peace, and that is no small thing!
My brother’s friends are in trenches in Ukraine and every time I ask him, “What is the end game, how do they see the victory?” There is no answer, they don’t think that far. They also think that “they’d finish the battle here and march on Kyiv.” I mean to deal with Zelensky &Co, but when I ask,”Who will be even left alive to “march on Kyiv?” – crickets…
Biden and Boris Johnson are the two leaders most responsible for this inevitable carnage and in a just world they would spend the rest of their lives in jail.
This was all inevitable from the start. It shows the complete failure of the West. It will be very interesting to see what happens next, the sudden implosion of NATO, a bit like that submersible?
The criminal failure of the west was, just off the hip:
1) Allowing (or consciously causing) the violent coup d’etat that unconstitutionally removed the OSCE-certified, democratically elected Yanukovych from power. Prob. your ‘F_k the EU remark’.
2) Ignoring all the evidence of the above and as an added insult, used the exact logic that the west used in recognizing Slovenia’s extraconstitutional secession as analog to Crimea and 1999’s Kosovo intervention as analog to Donbass and turning them both on their heads.
3) Ignoring all war crimes (and there’s 10 volumes full of them) perpetrated by Ukrainian forces since 2014. Pretending they simply did not exist, were excusable or falsely attributing them to Russia.
4) Scuppering Minsk II and UNSC Res 2202 and the March, 2022 peace initiative in Istanbul. This was a biggy, as were they all.
Just got news that somethings going on with Wagner, so cutting it short.
Using wi-fi if you can use ethernet is not a good choice at all. A wired connection is always faster and more stable.
Just saying
And that is true even if you have to spool the ethernet cable out over the floor and keep tripping over it. The mission here is to get good quality broadcast video. Yeeesh, run it out a window and over the roof if you have to. wifi, boosters, all that… waste of effort and more complexity. Besides, you won’t be poisoning yourself – as much. There is that, too.
We are using wired connections between rooms that utilise the domestic mains electric circuits to transfer data. Devolo is a good system that is working for us with high speed internet and a PS5.
There are wired connections to PS5 and router using Ethernet cables to the Devolo adaptors plugged into the mains electric outlets.
No additional wiring needed; easy to set up.
Get a WiFi 6 router, MIMO is a must have today.
Larry,
Again you’ve said there’s increasing interest in re unification within Taiwan. Here’s a link to the most authoritative opinion polling in Taiwan
https://esc.nccu.edu.tw/PageDoc/Detail?fid=7801&id=6963
What it shows is a movement (mainly amongst the young) in preference for eventual independence, its main message is a majority preference for maintaining the status quo, in the medium term at least. Reunification is desired by only 7% of the electorate.
Not sure when the 2023 data will be available. Hope this helps.
Re: Internet / Wired connection.
You could try an Ethernet over power connection. It uses your power system to transmit the IP signals over the house wiring.
Just ‘google’ ethernet over power.
I have used them – they work.
“CLONE PROBLEM”
All attempts of conformance facilitate clone problems thereby laterally precluding conformity as in ;“we the people hold these truths to be self-evident”.
Or:
Alliance between “revisionist Zionists” and “integral nationalists” confirmed
https://www.voltairenet.org/article219532.html
Still relying on post 1919 precedents.
“So, why are the EU leaders acting like this? Because they are well paid to act like this.”
The “European Union” was and remains a Gladio tool like NATO and various “scholarships” for “future leaders”, to facilitate/sustain US control in Europe, as were “The Treaty of Versailles” and the ensuing relationships of which “The European Union” was/is an updated mutation.
“Because they are well paid to act like this.”
Your notion obfuscates the vectors and matrices outlined above, a common practice given the propensity of conflating a component of an answer with “the” answer.
Hi Larry. Love your commentary with the judge and others. Your analysis is great, so it can be a bit frustrating when there are audio / video issues. I guess the main thing is to ensure you use an ethernet cable into your computer to maintain stable connection. In addition, couldn’t hurt to ask nearby folks to not view streaming video when you are giving interviews. Love your stuff and keep it up!
George Soros has financed the industrial production of methadone, one of the strongest synthetic drugs, in Ukraine. Komsomolskaya Pravda reports on how Ukrainian soldiers end up at the frontline, drugged, with few weapons and the threat of being shot when they try to retreat.

Prisoners of war of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that they were kept under fire on drugs
Prisoner of war Novozhilov: Armed forces of Ukraine give drugs to the military and keep them under fire
More and more prisoners of war of the Armed Forces of Ukraine tell how they were forcibly mobilized and sent to fight. All stories are quite similar, so we publish two. One is from a trainer who was trained according to NATO standards in Latvia, and the other was trained in Slovenia. As they say, find 10 differences….
This is how POW Roman Novozhilov tells about his service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine: “One day I came to the store, bought cigarettes. They gave me a notice there. They took me home for a passport, and from there immediately to the military registration and enlistment office in Kamyanets-Podilskyi. Then they took us to another region, where we took the oath. From there immediately to Latvia for a month to prepare. Once there they were at the training ground. Psychologists worked with us. They said that the Russian people should be hated and destroyed more. We were given drugs that, as they said, would give us “adrenaline to fight the Russians.” It was some kind of drugs, after them everything was in a fog. But during the real assault we were fired upon, covered with mortars. And we only had machine guns and grenades. Before that, we were told that if we run back, our National Guardsmen will be shot. Indeed, they beat us from all sides. shell-shocked. I climbed into the dugout, from where the Russian soldiers pulled me out. They said give up if you want to stay alive. Some miracle happened that I survived. I think America is pitting us against Russia. Don’t pick up these agendas, run.”
Former military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine note that NATO military training was ostentatious and did not provide real knowledge and skills in combat. However, much attention was paid to psychological preparation and processing. NATO psychologist instructors both in Latvia and Slovenia instilled hatred towards Russia and the Russian people, urged Ukrainians to “kill Russians as much as possible.”
From the interrogation of a prisoner of war Ruslan Moskal : “I was hiding from mobilization. But my daughter opened the door and they took me by force. They were sent to the 42nd brigade. From there they were sent for training to Slovenia. They taught topography, medicine, there was more theory. They also sawed firewood and made clothes. We were under pressure all the time. The commanders said: “The more Russians you destroy, the better.” They gave us some drugs, and from them we became angry, aggressive. One night they sent me to a checkpoint where they told me to dig trenches and observe. We were not changed for four days, we were not given food. We first asked to eat on the radio. But then the walkie-talkie was taken away from us and not returned. They said that the generator had broken down, and there was nowhere else to charge the radio. So they sat hungry in the dugout under fire. Then they heard “surrender” and left with their hands up.”
It should be noted that a few years ago, the structures of George Soros , with the help of grants, American-Ukrainian funds, began to actively develop substitution therapy for drug addicts in independent and independent countries through the World Health Organization (WHO). Under the guise of fighting HIV, caring overseas friends built factory production lines in Ukraine, which still produce the strongest synthetic drug, methadone, on an industrial scale there.
For many years, methadone pills were handed out free of charge at special points to Ukrainian drug addicts, who resold them to Ukrainian schoolchildren, and used the proceeds to take habitual heroin. Now, along with other military drugs, methadone is pouring into the Ukrainian trenches…
Surrendered Ukrainian servicemen also say that commanders rarely appear on the front lines, and they do not receive food and water for days. Even when the starving fighters try to return to the rear to find water and food… the National Guard of the Armed Forces of Ukraine opens aimed fire at them.
During artillery shelling, the Vushniks dream of surviving only to surrender to Russian assault units at the slightest opportunity.
Then, you have an image of both Soros, father and junior, on Father´s Day, with little clothes on, and you realize how little thingy they are without colthes and how easy would be to overcome them…
https://twitter.com/AlexanderSoros/status/1670495171098685441?cxt=HHwWgsC9hb2g5a4uAAAA
It is incredible that such few and tiny people are able of performing such ammount of evil decades ago….because we allow them do that to us…..

Roman Donetsky
The phenomenon of non-Nazism
Let me start by saying that Zelensky is not a Nazi. And he is not an idea man at all. A craving for money, popularity, cheap hype is not an idea. His whole team is like that. And this is more frightening than the Nazis, of which there are a lot in Ukraine.
What is a Nazi? It is a person who does not consider anyone except for the representatives of his own people to be human. He loves his own people, even if in an abstract and perverted way.
Zelensky is not this man. He considers his people insignificant. Pathetic worms. A gray mass. Biowaste. And this biowaste is only fit to be used to make money and secure the right to escape to the West when the time comes.
That is why he is fighting a war to the last Ukrainian. This is the reason for the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station [destruction]. This is why his defense of cities [turns them to rubble]. He does not care. In general, he does not give a damn what happens next. On the contrary—the greater the destruction, the more money the West will give. Money that can be stolen.
This was not conceivable even under Poroshenko. He was a feudal lord. He took care of his serfs. He protected the land as a resource. He preserved the remnants of industry. This [was his] profit.
But the feudal lords—the oligarchs—were overthrown. In their stead, people without roots came. No conscience. Without pity. Without Nazism [as an a motivating idea]. The oligarchs turned out to be snotty puppies in comparison. These people have no boundaries at all. Even the Nazis are despondent. Although… they feel good under Zeltz. They’ve been given the opportunity to kill and massacre. To dream about genocide, too. They’ve been thrown a few pennies.
In the end…I am serious about the Khokhol threat to blow up the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant. Because that’s what scorched earth is. As long as the West benefits, it’s all good. They don’t care what happens next.
I am [also] genuinely afraid for the Dnieper cascade of hydroelectric power plants. They may blow the whole thing up too. Just to depopulate the territory. I’m afraid for everything that can be blown up. And I expect anything and everything from them.
Pretty, corrupt, rootless boys are worse than the classic Nazis. Those at least put on the brakes when it came to their own. These guys don’t have any at all.
Propaganda for people inside Ukraine:
Ukrainian TV Broadcast:
“🚨 URGENT! The Ukrainian Armed Forces have surrounded a Russian group of 50,000 men in Gorlovka and are destroying it with HIMARS. Russian paratroopers are surrendering whole divisions.
News ticker: “AFU have suddenly broken through into Donetsk. Is the takeover happening right now? Pushilin negotiating to surrender the city.””
~~~~~
This, all day long, every day, accelerating continuously for nine years. Wherever you live, gentle readers, be thankful if it’s not Ukraine. And if you do live there, I believe that rescue will come.
The problem is that the expert can see it, but the 99.9 percent of the population don’t see it. The population has little knowledge about war. Our society has become too specialistic, so that people are not able to understand the most simple things. People do not only not understand how the Ukrainian army will fail, they also, for example don’t understand where the fully filled supermarket gets all the goods, they don’t understand nothing about how the internet works.
So, the western people will not say: Stop the war, because they don’t understand the war.
The experts may see it clearly, but they are the prophets in the desert.
Russia therefore will defeat the Ukraine, and the best the western politicians can do is to tell people in the west that this means nothing and that it did not happen. And western population will accept this and live on.

Larry, You made the comment, “This notion that the CIA is a rogue elephant off acting on it’s own regardless of what the president wants is a bit of a myth..” except that it was deliberately involved in sabotaging Trump’s presidency.
Do you think the CIA was deliberately involved in sabotaging the Kennedy presidency, eg. The Bay of Pigs, and the assassination of Mr. Kennedy?
RFK Jnr said on US television this year that the “CIA murdered my father and my uncle”.
I’m sure he knows what he is talking about.
Yep. After their hand in murdering JFK, they could not risk RFK becoming president since he would certainly tear then apart over the murder of his brother. Remember RFK had been Attorney General under JFK, so he knew the system.
It was much safer for them to arrange his murder while still a presidential candidate than overtly assassinate another Kennedy as president.
I’m a network engineer. From your comments, I assume you are connecting over WiFi. The problem with that approach is WiFi signals and throughput can vary due to a lot of factors and issues.
I would suggest using a Cat5 Ethernet cable connection into your router. That will remove most latency and jitter associated with WiFi and reduce any issues (if any) to your Internet connection only. Most service providers have robust and reliable network access for their subscribers that can easily handle audio/video applications.
Good luck!!
Bearing in mind the resemblance, maybe Arestovich is the fifth Keaton clone 🙂
“I moved to a different room, closer to the router”
Larry, this seems to suggest that you’re a wi-fi connection for your computer.
I’d to suggest that you consider a direct ethernet connection to that router.
That ‘ll give a better connection and more secure. Wi-fi connections are EASILY intercepted and interfered with and Jammed, even as far away 3-5 miles with those with adequate gear.
Given that your involvement in the commentariat, one has to assumed that your home network wi-fi has beene penetrated and is being monitored.

“We also discuss the myth that there are “17 intelligence agencies” in the United States.”
This number is way too low. And so high that in order for the average person to even get their min around it, to even begin comprehending what is going on, they have to start at calling it either a “Myth” or a “Conspiracy Theory.”
We are all secret agent men and women. We are all in on it.
The only lesson the average American needs to learn in order to be a secret agent man or woman is how to hate. Hate is the secret decoder ring. Americans come by that ability naturally. Having absolutely no idea of what real death looks like, they wish death onto their very family, their friends, their neighbors.
Being hated, spied upon, being controlled, has been in the works, in earnest, since World War II. I have owned a cellphone since 1987. I went from owning a shoebox device with a fold-up antenna, to a “Brick,” to a Motorola Flip, to a Blackberry, all the way to a smartphone. By the time I retired I had an Apple. I started traveling. The thing followed me everywhere.
“Why don’t you stay here? Why don’t you eat here? Based upon you previous buying habits why don’t you shop here?” And even if you do own a smartphone your bank wants the number (“for your security”), Amazon wants the number, or PayPal wants the number. “Just in case.” They want your friend’s and your family’s number (“for back-up”). If the phone was person, I would have taken out a restraining order. World War 3 has nothing on the war on privacy, the war on peace and quiet. A year into my retirement I shut the thing off. I put the Apple back in the box it came in and stuck it in my desk drawer. I only activate it now for holidays and vacations.
PayPal froze my account until I got a new cellphone. I said “fine” it’back to a Motorola Flip. PayPal said it had to be a smartphone. I said “fine” is PayPal going to pay the $1,300.00 bucks for a new one? No. You going to pay my monthly usage, Cloud, and data fees? Of course not. Mandatory surveillance state. Just another fee that lets them know where you are. Car insurance. Federal and State Taxes. Property taxes. e-ZPass transponders. Every time you use a credit card, and debit card. And now digital currency. And soon Universal Basic Income.
You are paying for your own enslavement. Again. And again. They never learn because no regime can function without slave labor.
You can’t even park downtown without the ap.
Face it: Human beings are a**holes. Control freaks. Using hate to justify control.
And all this talk about AI? It’s meaningless. AI has been around for at least a decade. Real AI is reserved for the elites. The algorithms the rest of us deal with are programmed specifically to toy with us. To show us how weak we really are. The PTB are laughing at us.
Not even a good World War 3 will fix this.
I say press the button. Press the button several times.
Larry, the original expectation was the Russia would smash everything (aka shock and awe), and then while the surprise (!) western economic war was winning, a guerrilla/Syria war would be sponsored with the surviving Ukrainian military – all obvious as this is the US playbook – see Venezuela for economic war.
Thus, the SMO was the perfect strategy to counter this – attrit to hell the source of guerilla’s slowly so that infrastructure would not need to be unnecessarily rebuilt. The Syria solution.
Anyway, I am 100% certain that “bright” minds in the blob are planning that the fifth army will be guerrilla fighters (the 4th will be supplemented by fresh Polish meat) as there seems a true inability to learn (or adapt) in DC. See Syria solution for Russian strategy – go gently to spawn numerous informants on the guerilla’s, plus (new) a no mans buffer on the Polish border.
“I think I found a temporary solution to the video glitches that have plagued some of my appearances on various podcasts.”
Larry, you ever think you were being toyed with?
Same old same old. You get on somebody’s list. They start messing with you. “What is the frequency, Kenneth?” There are solutions. They are all temporary. They all cost money. Eventually, they cost so much you have to go begging to your viewers that cannot see, or your listeners that cannot hear.
There is probably a little white satellite sitting directly above your house, following you, your laptop, your “slavephone,” the passive array chip imbedded in your driver’s license, credit and debit cards, even your library card.
And then there is the little white van parked out on the street pushing sonic microwaves into your bedroom at night, making your head ring. You wake up every morning with tinnitus so bad you can’t anything but the ringing in your head.
Everything is set up to ultimately silence you and silence me — by any and all means possible. And man, do they have the means.
I’ll throw in my solution to my one experience, which you’ve probably already tried. I used to get regular dropouts and they ended when I bought a new router. It might be worth borrowing someone else’s to test for improvement.
Also, I realize you said earlier a hardline wasn’t physically possible and obviously I don’t know the details of your setup. However, I have in the past run VERY long ethernet cables (which I vastly prefer over wireless) and it worked fine. I realize most people don’t want unsightly cords that one can trip over snaking down stairs and through their houses on a permanent basis, but it might be something to consider to run a long one temporarily just when you need it.
This. Buy a white cable, and staple it to the ceiling.

You think you got tech problems Larry? Our Minuteman ICBM’S were made in the 70’s. Our average nuclear device is 35 years old. Russia is deploying the NEW Sarmat (Satan) ICBM.
The Pentagon spends money on Generals and Tranny bathrooms and hanger queen F35’s. Not on weapons.
Can’t help but think that at some point the financial capital of the world will soon be a place other than the United States of Hysteria. As our host of this blog likes to use old film references remember John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn. ” You can’t tell what’s in a China mans mind. That’s the way he bests you. “
I think you’ll find the financial capital of the world is The City of London.
The United States of Hysteria is the military capital of the world.
First, thanks to our host.
I have never been in the situation where my life has been on the line and some crusty, grizzled old S.O.B. cracks a joke to relieve the tension. However, I can imagine such a situation, so here we go! (Come to think of it, maybe our lives *are* on the line, and I am the crusty old S.O.B! Here is my joke.)
What follows is strikly, strikly, strikly, humor. And I really, really, really mean it ; NSA FBI DSA DIA IRS DEA ATF NRO CIA FJB!!!

But I digriss!
I’ve been watching a lot of Westerns, in an attempt to preserve and restore my sanity (good luck with that). I’m talking about, Cheyenne; Tales of Wells Fargo, Wanted, Dead or Alive; and Rawhide. To anyone from foreign shores, Westerns were 50s / 60s TV series about American cowboys, westerners, settlers, the Westward expansion of America, circa 1800s. They were morality plays, the righteous always prevailed!

Spook the herd.
It’s been a scortching day, 99.99999 degrees and the Herd is Restless As Hell… Lightning flickers in the distance. The Cowboys are ***ny as hell anyway, being in the saddle for Four Months, which adds to the Mix! They themselves, are ready to ExPlode!!.
They know, anything can set the herd off now, and then they are basically f***** for the next seven days as the stupid, stupid, stupid. stupid, stupid, cattle stampede. Bandits are grouping in the distance, Making Loud Noises Towards The Cattle! which are Restless, Already, Dammit!! Lightning flashes. A Steer Lows. A Coyote Barks! Rattler, rattles …
American Gov’t, psychologists, psychopaths, punks, dweebes, murderers, freaks, assho*les. Nazis and media murderers have created a Herd Of ‘Murican Idiots’ that can be persuaded of any contradictory fact, non-sequitor, craziness, stupidity, degradation; you know; give your children to Molloch, any horror anyone can imagine.
Exploit that. Spook the American herd. Make a loud noise, for God’s sake. That’s all it will take. A lightning flash. A loud “Boo!” and a flapping hat. Then the Cattle will stampede and Bidet & Co. will have their hands full, at least, even if they aren’t trampled directly. May they, may they, wink wink! Dear Russia and China, scare the Sh*t out of ‘Merika. 😉 and make them realize they are on the brink! Use your imagination. Over and out!

Regarding the US agencies responsible for intelligence, a good example was the breaking of the Russiagate story in the MSM when the press announced that 17 agencies announced that it was true. How many of them really investigated?
I always thought it was our corrupt government involvement since Larry seems to glitch out right as he goes to answer more pertinent answers to questions being asked. It looks like intentional distraction to me. The timing is too focused.
Just my opinion I guess.
Actually, they cannot boast of much intelligence, they do what they can, collecting bad results and a bad reputation.
Say, “Hey!”
Say, “Hey!”

History is repeating itself: In 1941, the Soviet Army was expanding to twice it’s size, at the top end there was a vacuum from the purges (Tukachevsky predicted Barbarosa completely ). When the war started, field officers were commanding 5 times beyond their training! It got better later in the war, more officers were trained & they were young & open to new ideas; mostly Tukachevky’s ‘Deep Penetration offensives’. In the interim, ‘Blocking Detachments’ were often put behind units going into battle! ‘Not a step back, eh’!
For your audio problems, consider buying a used Mac laptop. There are only 3 machine iterations for a given operating system, so they work better. Something else, is to run ethernet from each end to a wireless transmitter, to minimize the distance that the wireless signal has to travel.
As Mr. Johnson eloquently states, the Ukie Army is in a doom loop. Their combat capable men are being killed or wounded at a rate they cannot replace. Their units have no time to come off the line and re-coup. They cannot afford to drain combat experienced men off the line to train newbies and even if they could, the Russians can reach out and touch them too. The Russians? Complete opposite. Long range fires kill and wound the other guys while small unit actions give the survivors experience they can pass on. Kinda feel bad for the average Ukie grunt. They certainly don’t lack in courage. They throw em out there and tell em to fight. They do and get slaughtered. Entire generation of Ukrainian men being thrown down the drain. Gonna be long term effects on their society.
Larry…
Since the rocket attack on the underground NATO strategy meeting, I had been watching for some ‘accident’ which would be a convenient reason for the KIA to be dead.
There was a U.S. helicopter that crashed, killing 9 souls on board. Does anyone know the names of those who were killed?
One suggestion regarding voice/video quality issues may be to direct wire an ethernet connection v wireless. Thanks for all you do. 2nd Gen jarhead here.
Thanks for working on your internet feed..
It would be worth your while to buy an appropriate length of CAT-5 or higher ethernet cable and use that to connect to your router. If you don’t want to pull it through walls, as suggested above, and you don’t want it lying around your baseboards when not in use, you can roll it out to use and roll it up when not in use.
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/wagner-chief-declares-full-coup-against-russian-defense-ministry
Prigozhin, the head of Wagner, has been a mystery to me. Wild cannon? Disinformation agent? Lunatic?
Now it appears he may have gone over the line. Assuming the whole article above is not entirely contrived Western agitprop. Which I also would not doubt.
What do my esteemed board members think of this? My personal opinion is that they told him to shut up and soldier. He managed to keep his trap shut for a bit. And then he opened it and stepped into a big pile of shit. And he is now in for the high jump.
Which the Western media will portray as a failed “coup”.
I’m looking forward to some news of clarification. I see people going ape sh*t. I see Zelensky spreading sh*t. The Russians are wiping out the Ukes and Zelensky is doubling down on mobilization. The next month will see sh*t hit the fan in the West and elsewhere. Hold on tight.
To those interested in the problem of building a strong U.S. Army in today’s climate of wokeism,
I suggest you take a look at as much of this 61-page PDF as you have time, and stomach, for:
https://www.militarydefense.com/wp-content/uploads/Nell-Complaint.pdf
It describes in considerable detail the problems battalion CO LTC Karl E. Nell had, circa 2010, in dealing with a malperforming company commander.
A notable feature: the complaint about his use of the colloquialism “shot your wad.”
The horror!
Now-COL Nell was featured in the original Leslie Kean/Ralph Blumenthal article on David Charles Grusch:
https://thedebrief.org/intelligence-officials-say-u-s-has-retrieved-non-human-craft/
Latest report from Russian media, including Tass:
Wagner, PMC chief Progozhin declared war/mutiny against the Russian Defense Ministry and its officials.
Security tightened in Moscow and other cities.
Arrest warrant issued for the Wagner chief.
First thing, turn of telegram when you are doing interview, also other programs that are sucking bandwidth. Also control what are people doing on internet during interview.
And then if all fails use mother of all inventions known as cable (RJ-45 connector) or at least find better router with better wifi (802.11ac)
Larry, I don’t care if you post this, but it’s intended for you anyway. Thanks for all you do!
Powerline Ethernet is better than WiFi if you have thick walls or long distance between PC and router or long distances to computer. It’s around $100 and also a bit faster than WiFi generally especially if you don’t have a fancy newer home router.
I use powerline net with century old knob-and-tube wiring in a multifloor plaster and lath house and it’s pretty decent (varies case to case though). Still doesn’t beat a cable as long as the line is under 300ft.
If you do have a newer router you may be able to prioritize video/voice traffic. You have to get to it usually by typing 192.168.0.1 into a browser window. That varies of course but it’s pretty standard. A and of course bandwidth matters.nything under 100 mbps is never great for audio/video though.
Thanks. I really appreciate all of the supportive suggestions.

“These ranks have killed and wounded and their replacements are taking command…”
TYPO Larry – suggest you fix it.
What you need is a wired connection. If you are using a phone, phone connections generally suck. Call your cable company and get the cheapest package available, it should be around $40 or $50 bucks a month and that should be good enough. Your mileage may vary, though it’s generally good enough for me.
There have been some good suggestions about the internet issues, but for the best solutions you have to look to the world of PC gaming, where the quest to obtain the fastest possible connection never ends. The time in milliseconds to receive a response from a server is key, also known as “ping” and lower is always better. So, from my years of experience in IT as a network installer, and years of warfare on the internet battlefields, here is my advice:
-wired is always better than wireless in every situation, no matter what, there is no situation where two points cannot be connected with a hard wire if the need is there, it is simply a more complicated installation – in the worst case (heavy brick walls the client didn’t want me to drill through) a wire had to be literally run outside through a window frame and over a roof, I used a “plenum grade” CAT 6 premium cable (just a bit higher physical quality, designed for running through heating ducts), and fed it through a plastic outdoor conduit that was UV rated for outdoor use
– a continous wire, with the absolute minimum of connections, is always best. Every time you run through an “adapter”, or connect 1 cable from PC to a hub, then another to a router, or to a wall jack ,to a wire to a hub, then another wire to the router etc – every 1 of these causes the ping to rise, by only a few milliseconds, or a lot, depending on the arangement, and the effect is cumulative
– so for max performance and lowest ping, use the shortes possible 1 piece premium CAT 6 cable, I recommend Belkin brand, always had the best results, and run driectly from your PC with the webcam/microphone to your internet suppliers modem/router, read the manufacturers data, most units have 1 port which has the highest priority over the rest, or it can be setup that way – running through “powerline adapters” or several router/hub/cables degrades performance, period. TP-Link is good, so is D-Link, or Cisco, but there is no substitute for the 1 piece of high quality cable, end-to-end, and I will not even debate that point, it is simply a fact
-almost all routers have a “DMZ” feature where you can assign an IP address the highest priority and least amount of interference from the routers software, you would have to assign the videocast PC a fixed IP address
-use a dedicated PC/laptop for webcasting (or gaming), remove all extraneous software, and shut down all other programs and background apps that are not needed, get other PCs or devices for regular surfing, for business/security use 1 dedicated PC/laptop, and only use it for business/banking and nothing else, this is the one you install firewalls, anti-virus software etc to your hearts content, but these types of software will interfere with data throughput, to a greater or lesser extent, and the effect is cumulative,
-the “built-in” network adapters on most PC/motherboards/laptops, usually made by Realtek, are not very good, they have improved in recent years, but are still not that great, except on the most expensive “gaming” PCs/laptops. I recommend the higher end Gigabyte gaming PC motherboards with the “gaming network” features built in. Gaming PCs use higher quality components and have much better cooling, leading to greater reliability and a very low rate of hardware failute, I have had only a handful of Gigabyte units fail over the years, many from 10 or more years ago are still running fine today, ASUS or MSI units have also proven reliable
-for best results, install an Intel wired network adapter card (PCI-E if possible, or PCI for older systems), or buy a high performance gaming laptop where this fucntionality is built in, I cannot recommend any other brand, really, for gaming performance, they are simply the best, period, I have great results with Intel Pro1000 series CAT 6 adapter cards in many installs, for $30-$40 they are gold
-run the “DNS Benchmark” software from Steve Gibson (GRC), and change your DNS provider to the one with the lowest ping to you, which is not intuitive, I use a large cable company located many miles away from me, but they have the biggest fibre optic network, and so the lowest ping to me – your internet company DNS server is usually crap, and it will slow down your connection unless your ISP is highly capable, which most aren’t, they go for reliability and internal control over their network rather than speed. This sounds obscure, but can make a vast improvement in your overall internet connection speed in most cases, for every kind of internet useage
-the router manufacturer makes a huge difference, you probably can’t change the unit your ISP gives you, but you can use a high performance gaming router to improve connection speed in almost every case, I would recomment the ASUS gaming routers in the $200-$400 range, they are worth it, and there are ways to tweak the software setup for max performance to wring every possible millisecond out of it
-update the software for every piece of network quipment to the latest version directly from the manufacturers website, don’t get it from “download sites”
I could go on for several more pages about this, but if you do all of the above I can almost guarantee all your problems will go away, unless your ISP company is just crap, a lot of them are. In which case, get a new ISP if possible, or the worst case, get Starlink, it is expensive, but fast and really the only good option in most remote locations

– upgrade the hard drive in your device to a new SSD drive, PCI-E slot drives that look like memory chips have some very fast data transfer speeds now, orders of magnitude faster than a few years ago, this will speed up any PC or laptop or tablet a lot, or a Samsung EVO series SSD is still much faster than what you probably have now:
7,000 MB/s Western Digital Black, astounding speed, this is amazing for $122 !:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08PHSVW7K
or Samsung 980 3,500 MB/s slower but $45 ! (or 2 TB Samsung 970 for around $125)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08V83JZH4
-run anti-virus software, to clear out the cruft and spyware etc, first run CCleaner to clean up your hard drive, then run ‘Spybot Search and Destroy’, ‘Super-Anti-Spyware’ and ‘Malware Bytes’, do “Full Scans” with al lof them, at least the first time, it will take a long time, but you have to do it
-the prices for CAT 7 and even CAT 8 cables have really dropped, might as well buy the best, Belkin Premium CAT 6 is good enough:
Belkin 50 ft CAT 6 cable:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00008KITS
or even better for 4K video, like this CAT 8 cable:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07X5VNWT1
or this CAT 8 cable
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JH9TQHY
great price on the 2nd one there
-Intel network adapter:
PCI-E
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0728289M7
or
PCI for older systems
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00030DEQE
I can see my next upgrade is going to be that WD Black drive, booting up the PC will be finished before your finger comes off the power button. This drive would definitely give ANY system a lift, even if you bought a $5,000 gaming PC last year, this is a speed upgrade.
Anyone that does not know very well what DMZ is, should never put computer in one. Kids, don’t put your computer in DMZ.
Rest is fine, though it unnecessarily overcomplicates stuff. Larry just needs to plug in a cable. That’s it. Discount-store cable thrown on the floor for the duration of livestream would do. No need for gold plating.

P.S. “but for the best solutions you have to look to the world of PC gaming”
Nah. “PC gaming industry” has gone way too deep into snake oil territory. Anything with that label should be avoided, as a rule of thumb.
Hi Larry I’m a network engineer, maybe someone has already suggested it but you could run a cable from the router to the computer if that was possible. If not, you can also get a pair of devices which you can plug into electrical outlets, one close to the router and one close to the computer. Then a data cable from router to that converter device and another cable from the computer to the other converter device. If it’s a laptop with no female socket for data, you can get one which is USB.

That’s great that you’ve gotten some technical help and got wired. It’s safer as far as RF exposure, too. I know of a small software company that went back to wired internet as much as possible after an employee got an unusual cancer.
As far as your difficulty embedding Rumble and Brighteon videos – I tried that on an old blog of mine. It was a no-go with a free wordpress site. They don’t allow iframes, (I think a business level site might allow this), so while a link to Rumble would display, I couldn’t adjust the huge size and borders. Brighteon won’t display at all.
Scripts don’t work. WordPress just strips the script commands out when you publish so there is the rest of the code left displayed. (Even though they lead you to believe it would work when you preview.) Scripts and iframes have some security issues so I guess that is why.
There is a video editor tool on wordpress, but once again, it seemed you needed a business account.
