Stuart Scheller's "Motivational Poster" Should Adorn Air Force Hallways

The former USMC lieutenant colonel (who chose the defense of his nation over his own career ambition), combat commander, and current DoD official has absolutely nailed the most pressing issue of our military officer corps.  While the rank and file talk about "careerism" they don't actually get to the real issue with our failing officer corps.  Scheller cuts right down to it with his post and I've seen it play out in real life with grave consequences.

This post should adorn the halls of military buildings so that coward officers, who comprise the vast majority in our military branches, are less able to justify their failings to their subordinates and peers with the same ole "pick your battles" tripe.

I didn’t Speak Up because I was too young and inexperienced
I didn’t Speak Up because I have a family and a mortgage
I didn’t Speak Up because I worked too hard to get to this position

Face it, you didn’t Speak Up because you’re a f’n coward

 Very well said.

When the American Military Machine Turns Against America

 


The lack of concern for the Constitution and the principles of liberty keeps certain units freshly stocked with operators oblivious to their treason against the American people.

I Hope Iran Gets Nuclear Weapons

So that it will hopefully be able to keep the terrorist governments from murdering its citizens and violating its sovereignty.  Our terrorist government which is controlled by a Middle East terrorist government that conquered it, and controls it, after murdering American service members on the USS Liberty and then stealing nuclear materials from the United States to develop its nuclear program (which was forbidden by the United States, does that sound familiar) and which spies on the United States and has infiltrated our government in an amazing fashion.

That terrorist government knows that the American people and American service members are so incredibly unprincipled and stupid that it can control them with the most basic information campaign and it has done an amazing job.

Israel leveraging this center of gravity against America (its immorality and breathtaking stupidity) has allowed it to force cowardly politicians to sacrifice America's credibility, treasure, and lives in the idiotic campaign against Iraq and it knows the well spring of hypocrisy and idiocy that America hosts is ripe to be used again.

What a disgrace to our once great nation is our government, the average American military officer and the average citizen.

Our Enemy in the Middle East is not Iran, It is Israel

 

That foreign government owns our President and most of our government and uses it to loot American taxpayer pockets to fund its genocide and other violent actions.  That terrorist state attacked a United States naval ship that was conducting legal surveillance and murdered American sailors.  It stole nuclear material from the United States to develop its nuclear program when America had said it was not "allowed" to develop nuclear weapons.  They then had our puppet government invade Iraq on their behalf, robbing America of treasure and blood for a war of aggression based on their lies.

Israel will destroy the United States like other parasites that kill their hosts.  We need to cut all ties with that terrorist state immediately.

Of course this will never happen because they have conquered our nation.

Illiterate O-6 Politics Right Down the Middle


It was 1000 percent wrong?  Hardly.  It was a legitimate protest, which Americans have every right to do, and a small number of people got out of hand and a larger number of people were guilty of an arbitrary misdemeanor of trespassing on their own public property.

That does not in any way equate to "1000% wrong."  The people had every right to protest their tyrannical, lying, murderous police state of a government and the actions of a few people jaywalking and such does not change that.

And if you're going to call somebody a moron, perhaps leverage your years in DC and learn how to spell "Capitol."  You moron.

American Police State Wrongfully Imprisons Army Officer's Wife

 

The police state that America is (and if you think that is hyperbole then you are a moron) steadily increases.  Right now the push to further use our fascist DHS to increase its totalitarian powers is focused more on "illegals" because many know there are real issues, especially after the last administration, with illegal immigrants in the nation.  But this isn't about illegals or even non-Americans.  Even American citizens who enter their own nation, and are greeted by DHS agents that they employ, can have their laptops or cell phones confiscated and searched without suspicion of any wrongdoing on their part.  The DHS thugs can't keep you from entering the nation, but the federal government has decided that they can deprive you of your electronic devices so that they can hack them and download all your information (and you'd better hope they don't plant stuff).  Without any suspicion of any crime, and without our flaccid politicians-in-dresses at the SCOTUS putting a stop to such actions, our tyrannical government thinks it can sift through all your photos and communications simply because you would like to enter your own nation that you fund with your tax money.

About two decades ago I fought this thuggish unreasonable police state and spent about six figures of my own money doing it, only to witness the complete complicity of fascist judges all the way up to the highest court in the nation.

Understand this.  Regardless of political party or your service status, this government hates you and thinks it owns you and has absolutely zero concern for your constitutional rights or the law.  While you might have been able to comply and bow and scrape your way through this nation off the radar while deluding yourself about living in a free country, the economic realities that are unfolding now will quickly fix your delusion for you as it becomes undeniable.  But the truth is, if you don't realize that you're subjugated by a tyrannical government after the past two decades, you're honestly far too stupid to be free anyway.

Finally, an Unmanned Fighter Aircraft

For roughly two decades I have been scratching my head at the lack of an unmanned fighter aircraft.  I blogged about it back in 2009 in a post entitled Why I Believe UAVs are Better Than Manned Fighters and it led to some decent conversation in the comments section.  Since then an AI pilot flying a limited F-16 (limited by Gs like a human would be) was able to beat a manned fighter one hundred percent of the time.  And now the YFQ-44A, that has discarded those arbitrary limits that only apply to humans, is being made known to the public.  It's about time.

The Rosenbergs Could Have Been U.S. Ambassadors Under Our Puppet Government

General Mark Milley committed literal treason and didn't even get a slap on the wrist.  Now we have somebody in the white spying for Israel, and instead of getting punished, Mike Waltz gets made the U.N. ambassador.

It's readily apparent that We The People do not own our government.  Our government is owned by a hostile foreign nation.

Yes, it is the POTUS' Job to Interpret the Constitution


 

One of the most authoritarian posters at the digital clown show (similar to Shapiro and Murray and other authoritarian thugs who like to recite correct views when convenient) recently stated that it's not the job of the President to interpret the Constitution.  Of course he would also conveniently ignore his own oath of office in the military by claiming those above him have lawyers and therefore every order is presumed to be constitutional.

Pretty silly of our Constitution to require executive officers to take an oath to support the Constitution if what was really meant was just do what some lawyer tells you to do.  Which is why the document doesn't state that.  Back before cowards like Ratner became the norm within our ranks, it was common sense that educated military officers were required to be educated precisely so that they could bear the burden of interpreting words, whether to determine commander's intent, or to determine legality.  Apparently the training on LOAC that Ratner received was wasted since he believes you're supposed to just presume a lawyer said doing something was okay.

Trump's reliance on lawyers to tell him whether something is constitutional or not is a major black eye.  One would think the top of the executive branch would be bothered enough to read the Constitution himself and, just as a matter of professionalism, even take a gander at the words from the top of another federal branch of government.

But, no, apparently some nameless twenty-something year old law graduate will suffice.  That's the same way Obama behaved when he murdered Americans without due process.  Just get some spineless treasonous ambitious lawyer to write a secret memo saying that whatever it is you want to do is "legal" and away you go.

Lord Ratner has no business occupying a uniform.  By his own admission, he is not up to the task of performing the duties required of an executive officer.  And he's in good company.  Sua Stupidity is just one example, apparently under the impression that the legislative branch doesn't need to interpret the Constitution either.  The Constitution, of course, completely disagrees and charges everybody in the Senate and all judges and all executive officers with interpreting and supporting the Constitution.

It's no wonder we can't win a war anymore.

Are We the Baddies?


Yes, we are.  We are the country wearing the gimp mask with the bright red ball in our mouth, and a leash held by Israel.  Our politicians and industry and media leaders are not immune to bribes, blackmail, exploding Amazon orders, or JFK-style hits.

Why was Trump's second election rigged, and yet he walked right through on the third one?  He kissed the ring.  The same ring that orchestrated the lawfare and media blitz against him during his first bid for re-election.  But he kissed the ring, bowed down, groveled to his foreign masters, and suddenly the criticism was muted, Bill Maher started saying nice things, the fires and protests nearly ceased, and he got re-elected.  Where he serves at the pleasure of a truly evil foreign government.

Yes, we are the baddies and once they get through collapsing the economy as a pretext to introduce CBDC, the mask will come off completely.
