Blast From the Past -- Tony Carr Calls Me a "Raging Prick"

He's right in his characterization of my lack of social skills when dealing with public servants who are failing at a critical junction in the nation's history, and who are engaged in the profession of conflict where we blow people into pieces and watch their arms and legs fly in separate directions, set people on fire, and instead of protractors and calculators, we have nuclear warheads that can decimate entire cities.  That being the background, Tony is correct that when criticizing my failing peers, doing so in a way that makes them comfortable and feel good about themselves isn't always, shall we say, a priority of mine.  Tony also got some other things right about me in his recent LinkedIn article that people may want to check out.

I don't have LinkedIn since resumes are not really my thing, unsurprisingly I'm sure, but somebody I know stopped by to share the comments from his article with me.  Depressing as expected.  Much too accommodating for fascism masquerading as intellectual debate and absent the kind of responses such views deserve.  Even now, even in this context, a polite and cordial seat is positioned at the table for those who hate our nation to its core; a center of gravity that has been exploited and led us to this day, but much more importantly, is leading us to a nightmare that will finally be undeniable to all.

For all Tony's faults cataloged on this blog over the years, providing a place for discussion of important matters when it comes to public service wasn't one of them (even though he banned me from those discussions).  Control of information is the first step to ensuring truth doesn't rear its inconvenient head.  Truth is fine, even useful for tyrants and oligarchs, but only when it's controlled, otherwise, well, things get messy and truth has a habit of escaping its cage.

Such control of speech has turned the Internet from its promise of citizens discussing important matters, and using harsh words rather than soft bullets, into the greatest tool of tyranny known to mankind.  Just ask free speech champion Elon Musk, about that.  When I criticized a sitting member of Congress (who Tony Carr has praised), Elon banned my decade old account that had somehow survived those on the left operating the platform.  Dozens of appeals later didn't matter.  Because Elon knows, like any politician, that most people are morons (and he loves to employ hypocrites who say one thing and do another) and you can simply claim values you don't have and then take actions that are the opposite with little criticism.  Words are easy.  Action is all that matters.  And if you can't even get words right, you're a non-starter.

All this is just to say, Tony Carr was claiming to value free speech and debate while banning voices like mine before it was cool.

Despite the highly censored landscape of today, Tony shares some truth in his article that we can all agree on (well, with one caveat):

Alas, it jaded him. He's viscerally hostile to anyone he estimates to be morally lacking, whether he's ever met them or not. Especially USAF officers, hailing as they do from an obedience culture that adores deference and promotes those who ask the fewest questions.

He flames, trolls, and harasses hapless path-crossers for the sin of having their own opinions, unwittingly commanding mental compliance he knows is wrong. Rick enjoys conflict. He doesn’t observe rhetorical limits. He enjoys helping others acclimate to the discomfort he enjoys.

The one caveat is that me not agreeing with somebody and harshly telling them as much, is not me commanding mental compliance.  I have no such power.  However, if that option were available to me, I would most certainly exercise it when it comes to military officers and all other public servants.  Get your thoughts correct, this isn't Burger King, you don't get to have it your way, think and act correctly when you do your job, anything less is unacceptable.  While creativity and debate is valuable for how to best execute the mission, the basics of public service and our Constitutional limitations, our primary purpose spelled out in regulation ("to support the Constitution"), our law and our oath, aren't up for debate; it's not an academic circle jerk where you get to play cutesy with words to get the result you personally want (that just coincidentally meshes with your political affiliation), at least not in a sane healthy America, but of course we don't live there.  Anyway, Tony's article is worth checking out and was a nice trip down memory lane.  And, Tony, I had to share the image up top.  It's one of my favorites and, after all, I'm a raging prick.

Oh, and for those who want to stop by and share your view that I'm a "total asshole" while collecting a like from Tony, you can do that on his Substack where he posts a similar article.

Hey Prosuper, Never Miss An Opportunity to STFU

Just one of many idiots over at the Digital Clown Show fumbling to defend the legally indefensible.  It's noticeable he doesn't talk about the War Powers Resolution and not surprisingly, never quotes any of the laws he lists (but hasn't read) to show how they support murdering Venezuelan boat operators.  He also is confused as to what is "liberal" having apparently missed the whole conversation that conservatives want to conserve the recognition of our laws and rights and restrain government.  But he's a moron who hasn't thought about anything of the things he brings up.

But with an officer like Brabus to lead him, what would we expect?  Brabus has now walked back his assertion that the strikes don't come even "remotely close" to crossing a legal line, to now being made aware of the War Powers Resolution, mischaracterizing it, and claiming it's now a "grey area."  It wasn't remotely close the day before, but now it's a gray area because Brabus-the-Brainiac thinks drugs being smuggled into the United States is what they meant when they wrote about unilateral POTUS action in response to an attack on the United States or its military.  Just like any idiot leftist blue-haired nut job, Brabus demonstrates no integrity and an oh-so-clever ability to twist words ("what is a woman?") to get the result he wants, without any concern for how utterly stupid he looks doing it.

But anyway, we're talking about Prosuper's vomiting a list of laws he doesn't understand and hasn't tried to understand, none of which do what he claims.  He put no effort into his assertion without evidence, so I won't do much more.  Note that even the treaty from the United Nations doesn't do what he says, and the United States never ratified that treaty anyway so it's not even legally binding.

10 USC 124

10 USC 522

10 USC 526

United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) -- Not Legally Binding on the U.S.

So Prosuper, don't miss an opportunity to STFU.  Seriously, you fucking moron.

Idiocracy Meets Stripes - the Dumbification of the Military Officer Corps

 

This blog is nothing, as its three readers will attest, if not a long prediction of a turnkey tyranny due to an incompetent and unprincipled military officer class.  Leave it to the Digital Clown Show to provide evidence as usual.  Idiot military officers plus social media does not disappoint.

Brabus, a military officer and pilot, in a profession of lethality, educated by the American taxpayer and sworn to support the Constitution of the United States, doesn't think the strikes on Venezuelan boats even come close to a legal red line.

Wow, breathtaking incompetence from a guy who doesn't know the first thing about his job.

Even those without his college education might go, "hmm, using the military to kill people for crimes seems kind of new.  I wonder why we just started doing that?"

They might wonder why suspected criminals, more than a thousand miles away, are suddenly being vaporized without evidence being presented to anybody, instead of the Coast Guard rolling up on them and arresting them, searching the vessels, photographing evidence and putting criminals on trial.  Since simply blowing them up is apparently not even close to any legal line, why didn't we do that all along?

History buffs might remember how the U.S. military went into Panama, and lost American service members during the operation, to arrest Manuel Noriega for suspected drug smuggling and then gave him a trial and imprisoned him.  Why didn't the military simply kill him from the air as the current administration is doing?  Why spend all that money and sacrifice American service member lives for Operation Just Cause when Brabus-the-Braniac would have offered up Operation Just Cuz instead?

Even slightly educated people know one reason is because in the civilized world, post Enlightenment, we in the western world have generally had this feeling that Brabus lacks that, "well, we should be able to prove somebody has committed a crime before we punish them for it, instead of just killing whoever we want willy nilly."  It's kind of one of those things we from America have prided ourselves on that separates us from countries like North Korea or China or from the rule of King George (Brabus, that was the guy who ran Great Britain when we broke away and set up a system that included jury trials, don't spill your juice cup).  And, strangely, until recently it has been widely understood in the United States that crimes like drug smuggling don't come with the death penalty.  But apparently that common more is out the window as well despite the U.S. government's well known history of trafficking drugs and even getting American communities hooked on them (CIA, I'm looking at you).

Educated military officers (not to be confused with Brabus who simply checked a box without learning a thing) who swore to support the Constitution should be able to enunciate this line of thinking more clearly and point out that our supreme law requires "due process of law" before "life, liberty, or property" can be taken from folks.  There are exceptions for war, of course, and Brabus would no doubt claim we're in a war (because he's a moron as cartoonish in real life as he is in his avatar).

Somebody from Brabus' intel shop should sit him down and show him some flash cards.  "Brabus, I'll show you an image, and you tell me if the thing I show you is a war thing, or not a war thing" and then give him a treat when he gets it right.  Show him a flash card showing a tank.  I think he'd get that one right.  Show him a card with a MIG-29 and he'd probably get that one right, too.  But show him a card with a school bus, or an unarmed, unmarked, boat flying no flag and operated by men not in uniform and he might struggle.

Fear not.  Our Founders set up a system of rules and regulations for dipshits like Brabus.  All he has to do is know the rules and follow them and everything is good.  Then he can know if we're at war or not.

And in so doing, Brabus would discover that we are not at war with Venezuela or with Venezuelan boat operators.  How do we know this?  We know this because our Constitution gives the power to declare war to Congress and Congress has not declared war against suspected drug smugglers down south.  "But we haven't declared a war in forever," Brabus might proudly opine, and he'd be correct.  That's because in addition to giving Congress the power to declare war in Article 1 of our Constitution, it also gives Congress the power to make "all laws necessary and proper" for bringing into execution (hint, execution is an important word here) all powers granted to any part of the federal government.  That means that if the Constitution grants a power to the President, Congress can still dictate how that power will be executed.  Or they could pass a law on how to execute their own power and that's precisely what they did with the War Powers Resolution which dictates when the Commander in Chief can execute war powers.  And that law gives three conditions, 1) after Congress declares war, 2) after Congress authorizes war, and 3) if the United States or its armed forces are attacked, the POTUS is permitted to engage in war for up to sixty days with some caveats.

None of those three requirements are met with suspected drug smugglers.  So Brabus is right, this doesn't come close to the red line of legality.  It blows way the fuck past it.  There is zero question that the strikes on these boats are illegal.  None.

But given that our officer corps is filled with absolute incompetent morons like Brabus, our law and our oaths to support that supreme law have become meaningless.  And America is a lawless rogue nation as a result.  And Brabus is perfectly fine with that because he's never actually known America, let alone served her, and so he certainly doesn't care about her being destroyed from the inside.

You Coward Drone Pilots Need to Refuse These Unlawful Orders

It shouldn't need to be said.  Striking civilians in an undeclared/unauthorized pseudo-war about fucking drugs?  Are you shitting me?  What's next, drone strikes on people for their tax-evasion-terrorist ties without due process?  Jay-walker-terrorists being napalmed?  Get a fucking grip.  This discussion is as completely retarded as men being allowed in women's bathrooms, it's the same level of stupidity but with even more dire consequences.  There is no excuse for this un-American position being touted on social media.  It's not a left/right issue, it's a people being manipulated by the Internet issue and you need to snap the fuck out of it.  Particularly you military officers.

Break, break.  This video from THIRTEEN YEARS AGO distills what is happening right now.  Not because this particular POTUS is particularly bad (yet) or because of all the leftist lunacy and calling everybody Hitler (which really does make you tired of such comparisons, doesn't it, almost like a psychological shaping operation) but because it explains why so many among us today "don't do politics on Facebook" and choose to remain silent publicly, only talking about trivial matters to their neighbors and friends and countrymen while their nation is conquered and destroyed on their watch right in front of their eyes.  I have posted this video for more than a decade on this blog and it's well worth your time.

Learn the law that you should already know about your job, you spineless cowards who participated in these missions (and then do your country a solid for the first time in your life and resign).  But don't think this is one of those intellectual issues that requires a degree and a lot of study, it really only takes about ten minutes to know your profession if you can tear yourself away from the NFL game and its Drag Queen Story Hour half time show, or whatever the flavor of the week is, that you're so against with your professed opinions (but not your action).

It's pretty basic stuff.  We arrest criminals for their crimes and give them their day in court where a JURY decides their fate after evidence ("oh, you mean maybe politicians lied and those people weren't giving voluntary customers drugs???").  You don't just kill them because some politician tells you to (whether it's Donald Trump, or his twin, Mark Kelly, who won't name a specific unlawful order in all his media appearances because he doesn't actually care about unlawful orders, he's just playing his part in the puppet show).

Fuck Trump and fuck Kelly.

Don't let these political pieces of shit factor into your obligation and oath before the American people.  And don't factor your own convenience into your obligations of public service!  If you know you don't have what it takes for such a difficult job, then go get a job on the outside!

Don't be like Dave Blair.  Demonstrate your love of America by your actions when it's hard, not by your made up bullshit words and professions about the Constitution for a military journal, followed by your failure shielded by some dark shipping container and secrecy.  Maybe nobody will ever know your coward name and you'll get promoted, but YOU will know you're a worthless un-American pussy.  And others will too.  Eagle or stars on your shoulder ain't shit compared to innocent lives taken, duty shirked and the once greatest nation to ever exist being extinguished... by worthless people like you charged with defending it, funded by a single mom who works at Waffle House and who struggles to make ends meet instead of playing grab ass at the golf course on the public dime, and who expects you to defend her family's freedom with the money forced from her insufficient bank account.

If you can't do that, get the fuck out!  The slippery slope argument is tired and you're going to be seeing trains headed toward camps here soon.  Some of you clowns will be driving them.

If you bastards can't figure it out very quickly (having failed to figure it out already as you should have), I sincerely pray there is a reckoning, and you get the due process required for your treason and your cowardice and for the suffering that you inflict upon struggling Americans who can't depend on you to get it right with your tax-paid education and training and your six figure salary.

Seth Hettena Writes About Me Refusing an Unlawful Order in "The After-Action Report"

Trump Says Urging Troops to Refuse Illegal Orders Is “Sedition.” This Air Force Officer Once Did Just That. by Seth Hettena

In 2011, Air Force Maj. Richard Rynearson refused a drone strike he believed was unconstitutional in a real-world test of the debate now consuming Washington.

Read on Substack

I have been contacted a handful of times by reporters wanting to talk about the mission I refused.  I have declined them all.  Despite my lack of cooperation, Seth Hettena went ahead and crafted an article about the unlawful order anyway.

His article is well done and fair.  It's always a pleasant surprise to see a journalist take their job seriously given how vital the profession is to the health of our nation.

You can follow Seth on Twitter and read his article here:

https://theiceman.substack.com/p/trump-says-urging-troops-to-refuse

As our criminal Department of Defense (so incompetent today that it can't even remember its own name) tries to intimidate military officers and retirees (and I have no doubt it will make good on its threats at some point), service members have got to do a gut check.  Refusing unlawful orders is mandatory, it's an obligation, it's not debatable no matter what the domestic enemies of our Constitution might say.  If you can't do it, get out of uniform now because your departure from the service would actually be the best thing you could do for your nation.

Senator Kelly, while a hypocrite who doesn't actually care about the Constitution (simply raising it for his political ambitions) and a threat to our nation as much as the current administration, is nonetheless correct when he says military members must refuse unlawful orders.  Things have gotten very bad in the nation, but they have been bad for a long time, and being a faithful public servant will never be easier than it is today (which is hard).  But there will soon come a day when exercising free speech will be far more difficult than it is today.  Just ask Sophie Scholl about unchecked power.  Then factor in our technology.  While you might feel safe speaking truth and exercising your God given right to free speech to challenge tyranny because you don't have a platform and therefore aren't threat enough to the tyrants, there will come a day when simply having a non-state approved viewpoint will be handled with extreme prejudice.  Use your voice now, be ready for the worst.  Truth is treason in an empire of lies, and it may well cost you everything.  Like it did for Charlie Kirk.

Years After My Lawsuit the Border Patrol Surveils All American Drivers With Cameras

 

Fifteen years ago I sued Border Patrol agents for violating my rights by stopping me without suspicion of a crime and detaining me for half an hour.  Fortunately I refused to exit my vehicle so I was spared them destroying my property as they had done previously.  I'm a slow learner.  I burned about six figures of my own money trying to defend the Constitution in court by hoping the architects of the police state I had encountered would admit what they had created was unconstitutional.  The entire judiciary declined to hold themselves accountable with the exception of a single appellate judge who got it right but was in the minority.  Like I said, I'm a slow learner.  During all of this, lots of mouth-breathing boot lickers I knew held the position, "well, I never have a problem with them because I worship them and bow and scrape and don't care about the Constitution I'm paid to support."  But it turns out they have a problem with them now whether they know it or not.

The fascist organization within the Department of Homeland Security has expanded.  Here is what it is currently doing.

1.  Without a warrant or suspicion of a crime, tracks and logs the driving patterns of all Americans through cameras across the nation (the border was never really their thing as the flood of illegals has demonstrated, their real target has always been the American people themselves)

2.  Decides if an American's "patterns of life" are "suspicious."  If the term "patterns of life" sounds familiar to my three readers, it's the same thing we looked for when surveilling the enemy overseas.  So if you are driving to a new place instead of going from your residence to work, you might be flagged by the Border Patrol as "suspicious."  Don't let the fact that this warrantless surveillance violates the Constitution bother you, and don't lose too much sleep over you simply going to a new place raising "suspicion" since it's actually an improvement for the Border Patrol that there is *some* level of suspicion (that level being a moronic level for the average Border Patrol agent) given they've been operating checkpoints in the nation for decades and seizing people absent any suspicion at all.

3.  They then pass you as a target to local law enforcement so that sheriffs like those in the Bexar County Sheriffs Department in Texas, can whore themselves out to the federal government, remove the benefits of federalism, and advance the cause of tyranny at their local level.  Despite all the claims of sheriffs being of the people and a check on federal government, they're just lap dogs to the federal government carrying out unlawful operations because the federal government thinks their vehicular travel is suspicious.

4.  The local law enforcement then uses WhatsApp or Signal (to avoid FOIA law and transparency and keep their conversations from becoming known) to come up with a made up reason (a lie) for stopping you.  As in the case of the innocent American video above, they chose "weaving inside your lane" -- always a go to made up reason to violate the Constitution; the driver above had dash camera footage showing he didn't weave inside his lane but the boot-lickers will tell you the road is no place to argue the Constitution, you should instead wait for court after paying tons of money to then lose even when the court agrees with you, because of qualified immunity.

5.  The local law enforcement then stops you and can order you out of your vehicle and cuff you, thanks to the un-American ruling in Pennsylvania v. Mimms where the court says the safety of cops in bulletproof vests and armor and loaded with weapons is more important than a mere American citizen who pays their bills who is simply driving to the store in a t-shirt and flip flops.

6.  Then Border Patrol arrives with a specially trained dog (trained to alert when it knows its handler wants it to alert to give the pretext to search your car).  The Supreme Court consistently allows these dogs to provide "probable cause" for searches despite knowing the dog doesn't sniff for any particular offense (is it people, legal or not, hidden in the vehicles or is it drugs -- or a large amount of cash that government can steal using asset forfeiture without even charging for a crime?).  No matter, the dog knows what its handler wants and dutifully obeys much like a boot-licker.

7.  With the fake dog alert, the agents then rip your car apart looking for a reason to throw you in prison, or looking for large amount of cash to steal without charging you for a crime, and they're not gentle so expect damage as the guy in the video above suffered.

8.  After an hour or so of them not finding anything and destroying your vehicle, they tell you to have a good day and you get to collect your property strewn along the roadway, put it back in your vehicle and go about your way.

9.  You spend a ton of your own money to sue (unless your case gets picked up by one of the few remaining gems of America, the Institute for Justice) and then your case gets dismissed because the judges say "you're right, your rights and our supreme law was violated by the government actors, but you still lose because they have qualified immunity, good day to you."  And nothing changes except for the amount of savings in your bank account.

This is the absolute, crystalline, pure un-American police state that we live in.  It has gotten worse because most Americans do not value their constitutional rights and it is now at the point where even boot-lickers will be targeted and not escape the full dose.  Your bowing and scraping and subjugating yourself before your "bro" won't work in this situation.

Enjoy what your cowardice and hatred for America has produced for you and your children, Bryan T. Gray.  When the next Biden implements the next lockdown and you complain on Facebook (now that you're suddenly into rights and no longer in uniform and charged with supporting them) make sure you have a good laugh with the cops who pull you over for weaving inside your lane.

Elon Adds New Feature -- Removes It After Showing DHS Account Run From Israel

I guess it makes sense since so much American taxpayer money goes to that foreign terrorist nation that operates our government.  So it shouldn't be surprising that the Department of Homeland Security's Twitter account is run out of there.  Oh, you thought they operated our homeland's security?  Silly you.

Elon quickly disabled the newly released profile-location feature.

Edit: as would be expected, the corporate media has kicked into gear calling this story a hoax and misinformation.  That's possible of course.  The logo does look pretty suspect.  But, as usual, that such a thing is so easily believable points to a real problem regardless.  When President Trump meets with an Israeli spy at the White House, a spy who sent Top Secret documents (including a thousand names of American intelligence operatives) to Israel which then sent them to the Soviet Union, well, it's kind of understandable.  A person could be led to believe Israel runs the DHS account knowing that when one of his cabinet members, Mike Waltz, was caught spying for Israel, Trump made him ambassador to the United Nations rather than having him charged with espionage.  It almost seems like Israel runs our CIA and our government, so running a website really doesn't seem like that much of a stretch.

I'm just waiting for the American flag to be lowered at the White House and replaced with, well, you know.

And yeah, turns out the DHS page was in fact operated out of Israel.  The nation that has literally, quite literally, conquered the United States and which all Americans are occupied and fleeced by.

Traitors Tell Military Members to Refuse Unlawful Orders -- and They're Right

— Sen. Elissa Slotkin (@SenatorSlotkin) November 18, 2025

https://x.com/SenatorSlotkin/status/1990774492356902948?s=20

In a video released on X, various politicians remind American service members that they have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders.  And while these politicians include the anti-American traitor, Senator Mark Kelly, and the un-American traitor, Senator Elissa Slotkin, the fact remains that their message is correct even though they don't believe it.  Senator Mark Kelly was all too eager to have the government use force to murder and imprison Americans who dared protest on January 6th while the FBI instigated minor law breaking and the CIA planted a pipe bomb.  He is one of the worst politicians to ever disgrace a uniform.

Senator Slotkin is a career CIA officer.  She worked in the defense establishment under President George W. Bush while he had the CIA unlawfully torture people, and she worked in the defense establishment under President Barack Obama while he was having the military unlawfully assassinate American citizens outside war zones, who were no imminent threat, without charge or trial.  But she is really concerned about unlawful orders these days despite her silence, and most likely complicity, back then.  And, of course, she advocated for government violence being used against American protestors on January 6th because, you know, she's really concerned about the Constitution.

But despite the absolute despicable nature of the messengers here, there are plenty of unlawful orders the military should be refusing.  The strikes on Iran, on behalf of Trump's foreign owners, were unlawful as they were not authorized by Congress.  The same goes for his unlawful strikes on Venezuelan boats.

Their video says they will have your back if you refuse orders.  I can assure you, they will not.  Military members are nothing more than pawns to these scum on both sides of the pretend aisle.  But that should not factor when it comes to your obligation to refuse unlawful orders.  Nobody will have your back.  There will be no ticker tape parades.  Your peers will turn on you.  Faithful public service ain't no chump game.

The traitor currently in the White House, Donald Trump, is now calling for these politicians to be arrested and hung in yet another display of his unfitness for office.

But this is all theater.  Trump and these Democrats are working for the same awful people who actually own our government.  The goal is to get all Americans to consent to the full force of government being used against the American people in contravention of the Constitution.  Under Biden, the so-called Left gave its consent as it called for American protestors to be killed and imprisoned on January 6th, and while Biden labeled Trump supporters domestic enemies while Marines stood at attention behind him.  Then a fake power change through the facade of elections came about, and now consent is being gathered from the so-called Right using the justifiable hatred so-called conservatives have for the evil people on the Left who want to violate their rights.  The end result is most of the country consenting to its government being used in the worst ways to violate the rights of Americans.  Each fake "side" will just differ on who they think should bear the brunt, because they're too stupid and too unprincipled to realize that those wielding and controlling our government see their two sides as the same.  It's just theater to divide the people up and use their hatred against each other to grant them the unconstitutional powers they seek.

But don't worry, they'll let Americans on both sides keep their prejudices.  When the train makes its departure to the camps, they'll have one car labeled "Democrats" and one labeled "Republicans" but the train will still stop at the same destination.

None of this should matter to service members though.  Military members need to remember they serve all Americans (even the gullible and easily manipulated ones which make up a majority near one hundred percent) and they need to remember their obligation is to the Constitution and not a political party or individual.  The depraved politicians in government do not factor.  Ignore them.  Do your job.  Do it right.  Let the chips fall where they may should you need to refuse an unlawful order.

Joe Rogan Makes it Clear He's a Deep State/Israel Plant

 

Some serious propaganda jujutsu right here starting at about 22:10.  Theo Von brings up how people are starting to see those who are controlling them and Joe goes right into the discussion of how magical corporate owned Internet companies like YouTube (owned by Google) and Spotify are some kind of mystical alternative to "lamestream media."  As if corporations that own digital companies cannot be controlled by the same forces that own CNN, Fox News, etc.  It's an idiotic claim that Dave Smith and the man-child Michael Malice like to repeat (because they're trying to build up that space so they can sell out even more than they already have) and Rogan is happy to parrot this idiotic fantasy that you're not being lied to if you're on the Internet.

Then Rogan offers Theo some coffee and then launches into a long ass ad about Black Rifle Coffee (an obviously foreign controlled organization pretending to be pro-America that is actually anti-gun with its money rather than it's dumb t-shirts) and coffee history and irrelevancies, and then Theo tries to bring it back to real discussion by bringing up the courageous Candace Owens and Joe immediately rolls right into cracking wise about Theo using notes and then goes into ANOTHER ad campaign about "Alpha Brain."  This goes on until 28:00 or so and then fades into silence about the serious topics Theo brought up.

Joe Rogan is an anti-America asset.  That was clear after his three million references to how he had "F you money" and couldn't be controlled by the Woke (Israel) and saying people shouldn't apologize and then, once they got on him, he started repeating their nonsense and apologizing and then parroted their nonsense by saying that people of a certain color should not be able to say things, becoming the racist they accused him of being.

Rogan is not on the side of Americans.  He's a sophisticated enemy of the United States.

SSgt Michael Holtzclaw is an Exceptional Recruiter (for the USN, USMC, and Army)

 

The other branches should give SSgt Holtzclaw a recruiting award since his Desperate Housewives level of rant likely drove up the number of potential airmen into the arms of the other services.  After all, according to the official Air Force recruiting Facebook page, airmen should be happy to just accept whatever job they're given and not try to negotiate the best fit for themselves.  Just be happy about the "free healthcare" that is so free that you only get it in exchange for your service and potential risk to life and limb, in other words, the kind of healthcare that is the opposite of free.

Glad he took his post down but I'm amazed he put it up in the first place and kept it up so long despite the righteous backlash it engendered.  Perhaps somebody with some common sense above him took it down.

The service might also need to take a look at the requirements for the Levitow Award.

As I Said, Israel Murdered Charlie Kirk (Obviously) -- But Our Government Was In On it

The bullshit narrative offered and the *yawn* response of the FBI shows that not only was Charlie Kirk murdered by the hostile foreign terrorist nation that Charlie Kirk righteously abandoned just 48 hours before his assassination, but shows that our foreign-owned government was in on it.  Of course they were.

Traitors are running the show.  Thankfully the courageous Candace Owens is providing reciepts.

Do the Traitor Accounts on BaseOps.Net Get $7000 a Post To Shill For a Hostile Foreign Nation?

I don't know if they do, these two obvious sus accounts might do it for free.  But this thread about bought-and-paid-for propagandist, Coleman Hughes, seems like it's worth at least .69 cents.  Hughes got crushed during this interview by Dave Smith because Dave is interested in facts and Hughes is interested in propaganda on behalf of a terrorist nation that is hostile to the United States.

Dave Smith is the guy that really angered Zionists toward Charlie Kirk, when Kirk allowed Dave Smith to crush another Coleman Hughes clone during a TPUSA debate.

It's not a conspiracy theory that hostile foreign actors use accounts on social media, like the Digital Clown Show, to express propaganda to an American audience.  So when you see stupid posts like these that attempt to benefit the greatest foreign enemy of the United States, realize that enemy pays people to post idiotic shit just like these two do.

Hang in There Service Members Being Targeted for Speech

I don't know how credible the claims are in the video above, but I have certainly seen a huge crack down on the free speech rights of American service members.  Morons, which are plentiful in our nation and in our ranks, along with bots pretending to be morons for propaganda purposes, are busy stating idiotic and untrue things like "when you sign up for the military you sign away your rights" and "we defend democracy, we don't practice it."  There is an intense propaganda effort and political effort, on behalf of a hostile terrorist foreign nation, to roll back our constitutional rights.  The situation is dire.

To those in the service faithfully defending the Constitution in accordance with your oath by practicing your First Amendment right to speak out about the many wrongs in our nation, you're doing the right thing.  That doesn't mean things will "work out."  Public service isn't about a story book ending.  We fight when we have to fight, we give up our lives in that pursuit, we don't simply fight when we think we can survive.

Keep your heads up, don't worry about the results, keep speaking to defend your nation from the domestic enemies who run this government on behalf of foreign enemies.  Remain peaceful because violence is what they want and it will not advance the cause of liberty.  Don't let the bleak outlook get you down or dissuade you.  America is lost, but your self esteem and pride is not, so don't sacrifice your honor just because the reality is that our our nation has been sacrificed.

It doesn't matter that your peers don't agree with you, or the citizens of this nation.  It's not about them.  It's about your oath and your country.  A country that is lost and that most of your peers have never known, a country that has been conquered by a terrorist foreign nation.  But you don't have to be conquered.  So hang in there.

Foreign Puppet, Donald Trump, Commits Literal Treason

 

Declaring war on Americans and using the machinery of war and the tactics of war, and authorizing full force rather than the due process for alleged crimes, against them is the literal definition of treason.

Article Three, Section Three of our Constitution states:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

Donald Trump joins Barack Obama as a literal traitor to our nation, using our military to wage war against us, denying American citizens their right to due process.  His foreign masters love the work he's doing for them to assist them in the further conquering of our nation to further their foreign agenda.

Antifa nut jobs are a real threat.  They are dangerous and most of them are mentally ill.  I have had very real fights with them in ways most Americans have not, and I detest them.  They do great harm to our nation.  But they are Americans, they have freedom of speech, they have freedom to protest and when they break the law with their action, they enjoy due process rights in our criminal system.  They are not to be treated as "terrorists" and an enemy in a "war" where our military uses "Full Force" against them.  Not in a free nation.

But we are not a free nation.  Not even close.

Secretary of the Air Force, Troy E. Meink, Violates New Air Force Social Media Policy!

First Amendment violations aside, the stupidity of Meink's memorandum, dated 16 Sep 26, is hard to overstate.  But, of course, I wanted to do my duty and join the throngs of un-Americans serving up service members they don't agree with to the SecAF over social media opinions.  So I took to the Internet to see if I could find somebody violating his memo.

His memo states that "social media posts...that advocate for or condone violence in any manner...will be dealt with immediately."

It didn't take long to find a violation. I found one such social media post made just two days after this new guidance was issued.  I'm looking forward to him dealing with it immediately!

What a fucking moron....is also an example of speech under fire and threat of punishment in this brain surgeon's memo, which states that "offensive" or "inappropriate" language on social media will also be "dealt with."

Now I'm just waiting for Starbucks to follow the lead of this brainiac and issue its own guidance to employees preventing them from advocating or condoning coffee.

Seth Dillon of the Babylon Bee a Foreign Agent?

I keep hearing Seth's name pop up over this Charlie Kirk murder.  I haven't looked into it much, but I knew he was working against America's interests years ago.  We had a few interactions on Twitter and I had a positive impression of him until I realized he was a fraud.  I challenged him several times over his painting of Elon Musk as a savior of free speech, and he began to ignore me.  Then I saw him shamelessly gush all over Elon in an interview he did with him, flagellating himself before the billionaire and claiming Elon (the guy who was banning people left and right on his new platform) had saved free speech on the Internet and that's when I knew Seth was purchased.  I figured it was just to secure his access on the platform, I hadn't yet made the connection between Elon and the hostile terrorist nation that owns our country, the one Elon paid homage to like so many "American" politicians do.

So at the time I didn't realize just how apt my criticisms were, calling Seth a Judas, selling out for a handful of silver.  Maybe that is why Seth ignored those criticisms.  But that same criticism put a different way managed to catch his attention.

Seth Dillon then re-tweeted my criticism with his own humorous response that ignored the substance and pinned it for about a week on his own timeline.

My criticism got more than a million views before Seth un-pinned it.

Elon stopped by to laugh at Seth's response.

Neither Elon nor his slavish little PR minion wanted to discuss how Elon had said all kinds of great things about free speech but, in reality, was censoring people all across the spectrum.  Like so many politicians, Elon's followers were quite happy with him saying one thing despite him doing exactly the opposite, no doubt partially due to the intense propaganda effort painting Elon as something he was not.

Not surprisingly, this second account of mine was banned by Elon, just as he had banned my original account which I had for nearly a decade without a single instance of censorship under the Dorsey regime.  But Elon, The Savior of Free Speech Online, just could not abide me insulting a sitting member of Congress like Adam Kinzinger.

Anyway, just a trip down memory lane given how much Seth's slimy name keeps coming up today.  For more context of how bought-and-paid-for propagandist, Seth Dillon, keeps popping up in the Charlie Kirk murder discussion, see this recent video starting at about 12:35...

Or see Tucker discuss Seth Dillon at 26:25 or so:

Coward Donald Trump Knows Bibi Will Charlie Kirk Him Were He Actually America First

People need to realize how bad it is.  Trump is completely owned by a hostile foreign terrorist nation, along with most all of Congress, the intelligence agencies, the fascist tech-surveillance industry and much of the rest of the centers of power in America.

America is not a free nation.  It doesn't even exist.  It has literally been conquered by Israel.  As you see your constitutional rights continue to be ignored, realize it's because you no longer live in America.  That nation is no more.

Break break.

An Army veteran was making a movie about the future he saw.  This was thirteen years ago.  I had some email discussions about providing some feedback and he sent me his script after I signed an NDA.  I blogged about his project back then.  Then he and his family were murdered, it was pinned on him, and the details are truly awful.

But the trailer he made for his script over a decade ago painted an accurate picture of our nation today, the violation of our rights, and the increasingly powerful techno-police state that Trump is working tirelessly to bring to reality for his foreign masters that own him and our conquered nation.  It's worth a watch.

SMSgt Adam Antonioli Feel Free to Drop Me a Line...

You and I will most certainly not agree about the merit of your statements, your politics, the Constitution, or free speech.  But it would appear, based on your comments that have been released on Twitter and which were responded to by Undersecretary of the Air Force, Matt Lohmeier, that you are having your rights violated as a result of your constitutionally protected off duty speech.

Feel free to drop me an email at wingedryno@gmail.com if you would like some help finding legal resources and exploring options.  Free speech is right up my alley.  You appear to be a fan of Chief Bass.  I sued her successfully for violating the First Amendment on social media because she didn't like my comments on social media.  I also successfully sued the State of Washington for violating the First Amendment and had an unconstitutional law struck down that was being used by leftist fanatics who tried to do great harm to me and my wife because I had the tenacity to say things on social media they didn't agree with.  After I beat these insane Antifa nut jobs in court, I turned around and helped one of them by filing an amicus brief in support of his free speech rights. before the very judge he and his comrades had violate my rights.  While my arguments didn't carry the day before her in my legal proceeding (she was soundly reversed on appeal and ridiculed in media), they did in his case before her.  Have no doubt, I loathed that individual, and that corrupt judge, then and still do today.  They are both truly awful, truly evil, people and at least one of them (and probably both) agree with your disgusting view of Charlie Kirk.

You and I will not be friends (yet I am Facebook friends -- the ultimate kind of friendship -- with Matt Lohmeier and I'm deeply disappointed in his recent action against you).   Not only will you and I not be friends, I am certain you won't likely even see the value in my assistance or share my concern for our right to free speech.  But I don't make this offer because of you, I make it because of the First Amendment and its vital importance for a free nation.

Reach out if you would like to have some assistance defending your speech from somebody who doesn't agree with your speech, but will help defend your right to express it.  As all good Americans should.

Israel Murdered Charlie Kirk

What a tragedy.  The evidence isn't out yet, and as is the fashion when it comes to the evil nation that owns our government and picks off our politicians and thought leaders at will using blackmail and violence, we may never "know."

But it's obvious.  Charlie was pro-Israel but definitely wasn't toeing the line and was platforming people telling the truth about Israel.  Charlie's trend was toward America and away from that fascist little shit hole.  It was a professional hit.  Assassin escaped about as quickly as the Israeli NSA head, Tom Alexandrovich, recently did after getting arrested for trying to molest an American child before escaping to Israel which has a pattern and practice of providing safe haven for pedophiles.  And the timing was convenient as Bibi was able to tweet about how Charlie was just about to visit Israel (an invitation Charlie did not accept).  And the New York Post is publishing idiotic articles about an "expert" saying the shooter was likely an "internet shooter" rather than a military trained marksman, putting out propaganda to distance the shooter from the nation that routinely uses such tactics.

Israel is by far the greatest enemy of the United States and it has a whole menagerie of American Judas' on strings doing its bidding.  Trump is chief among them at the moment and you can be assured as our society further collapses and is ripped apart over this and the fake left/right dynamic, more controls will be introduced on our society.  Those controls will include more digital AI surveillance and digital money from companies owned by Israel and pushed by Trump.

Tragedy about Charlie Kirk.

12 Sep 25 edit:  it's good to see others discussing the obvious.  We Americans have got to realize that the terrorist state of Israel is waging incredible warfare against our nation and has its cronies installing surveillance and other digital systems that will allow it to surveil, de-bank, blackmail, or Charlie Kirk any single one of us for expressing the wrong opinion anywhere, regardless if you're somebody with an audience or just a regular joe you erroneously thought nobody paid attention to (they do and will).  If you support the terrorist nation of Israel, you are literally supporting the murder of your neighbors by a foreign government.  Don't think for a second that your politics play one way or another into it.  The enemy that is Israel cares nothing about your politics.  And for those of you indoctrinated by your corrupt churches, you need to pull your head out.

13 Sep 25 edit:  Israel's immediate and dishonest attempt to frame Charlie Kirk just goes to show how prepared they were for it

14 Sep 25 edit:  More than likely Israel will go for the two-fer and go after Nick Fuentes (I have no position on him and know nothing about him other than he correctly identifies Israel as an enemy of the United States) and it's very telling that American traitor, and Israel-plant, Ben Shapiro is determined to pick up and represent college campuses "for" Charlie Kirk.

15 Sep 25 update:



16 Sep 25 Update:  Retired Air Force LtCol Karen Kwiatkowski I think is correct when she says she thinks Israel's assassination of Charlie Kirk was really a message to Trump.  Of course I think it's pretty clear that Trump knows the details of the deal he signed up for (unlike a courageous president like JFK who was truly America first and didn't sign a deal).  This was messaging. 

And that messaging has been received by "influencers" like the libertarian comic Dave Smith who hosts the Part of the Problem podcast, a serious Israel critic who in my view has made it clear he's ready to curb his criticism of Israel because he's frightened.  Dave is intellectually right just about 99% of the time, but he has some character shortcomings and a track record of playing nice with power (see Elon Musk) and some insecurity and ambition issues along with a lack of standards for who he puts in his orbit, so I expect he will continue his new habit of carrying Israel's water on its assassination of Kirk.  I hope that I am wrong, but I don't think Dave Smith has the courage or character or sincere love of America to actually speak the truth when Israel demands he shut up, despite all his anarchist rhetoric.

That Time I Told Laughlin AFB Leadership They'd Bend Metal, Then They Did

From the ole memory vault.  Leadership from Laughlin AFB thought it would be good to implement indefinite six day work weeks, so I sent an email to the morons behind this dumb idea including then Col "Pulse" Wills (a clown I had previously called "un-American" to his face when he tried to dress me down in his office with me in my blues and my DO standing next to me), and I made sure my email got sent around the base.  It had the desired effect and this dumb idea got shut down.  Here's a blog post from that time period.

Months later when I was out processing from that shit hole, they brought the plan back.  My very last stop before heading out the gate to my next assignment was to visit the 85FTS commander.  I told him that they'd bend metal if they did this.  He told me to enjoy my next assignment and then said, "by the way, you won't be getting a medal for this assignment."  I laughed and told him I wouldn't disgrace my uniform with a medal from AETC.  I then hopped in my car and drove to my next assignment back to AFSOC.

Less than two months later that 85FTS commander had a Class A when an instructor inadvertently shut an engine off in flight, fouled up the restart procedure, and then failed to dead stick into the aux field.  Fortunately both the instructor and student safety ejected and there were no fatalities.

Here's an email chain between me and a FAIP (now a fighter pilot and commander) from the first time I got this dumb idea cancelled where I laid out how bad an idea it was:

No, they said the meeting was not in response to any particular request... which is bullshit, they were trying to save face after your email had made its rounds and shown the emperor to be nekkid. 

The current WX is a convenient thing to blame our timeline problems on, but that is not the root cause of the issues, the increased training load coupled with shitty leadership that wants to see fucking magic happen and won't listen to reality (we lack the resources, AKA triple-turning and manning) are the root causes. 

We'll see how it all ends out, and I'm very happy to be getting "out" by being a student again soon. My fini is on the 12th, see you there?

Subject: Knock it Off Request 

Sir, 

You stated in your email that a mishap is not worth the increased ops tempo. Given this information I would like to provide my assessment of the situation, as I understand it. As a loyal member of the Air Force and the 85th FTS, I believe it's my duty to pass information to my superiors even if that info may not be welcomed. I would like to provide my perspective concerning the increased ops tempo and six day fly weeks that have recently started. I know there is a great deal of information that I don't know and I realize leadership doesn't take action arbitrarily. Given the current climate, there is a chance leadership is not being provided high fidelity information and I hope this email provides some information that is useful. While I can't provide solutions with every perceived problem I identify, I hope my contribution will be seen like the call from the loadmaster who spots fuel leaking from the #2 engine. He might not know how to fix or solve the problem, but he provides a service in merely identifying it to those who can. 

The short of my message is this, there is a belief shared by many that six-day fly weeks are going to become relatively standard for the next several months and perhaps longer. If true, and if squadron members still enjoy the briefed ability to call "knock it off," then I am calling knock it off. I believe this significant increase in ops tempo will increase risk greatly. If the ability to call a KIO has been removed from squadron members, then I would like to give my reasons for my position and provide information and recommendations to help mitigate the increased risk. Whatever decision is made, I, and every other pilot, am ready to implement whatever action leadership decides. 

A 1999 Air Force Times article entitled, "Worked to Death - How Doing Too Much Cost 12 Crewmen Their Lives" took a look at a fatality at Nellis involving two HH-60s that had a midair collision. According to the article, the overwhelming contributing factors that led to the disaster cited by the lead investigator, Col Denver Pletcher, included "a high ops/pers tempo coupled with leadership problems, internal and external training deficiencies, broken squadron processes, low aircrew experience level, and midlevel supervisory breakdown." The Colonel wrote that the "squadron was on a path to disaster." The article explains that the squadron had been operating under that same ops temp for five years prior to this accident but that "By then, problems were chronic: Squadron processes broke down, morale was bad, the training burden was increasing and there seemed ever-less time to prepare for the next deployment or exercise." 

I believe this safety report could easily describe the 85th FTS, and several of your instructors are already citing the squadron as being on the same path to disaster. 

1. A high ops tempo. As you know, your instructor pilots are working roughly 12 hour days, five days a week, with a smattering of cross country weekends thrown in. Several in the squadron routinely work more than 12 hours in an effort to catch up with flight management duties. 

This current 5-day week ops tempo is seen as a grind and I have heard of at least one instructor who has nodded off while taxiing as a result of fatigue. This is the status quo ops tempo and not the greatly increased ops tempo of the six-day work week. 

2. Leadership problems. This may be evidenced by the relatively recent increase in alcohol related incidents that have taken much of the Wing Commander's time lately. I believe it's also evidenced by a perception that leadership has responded with an iron fist that hands out punishment with a sledgehammer rather than a scalpel in many instances, a perception I believe has had a severe morale degrading effect. The most important leadership problem I believe exists is a punitive environment for dissent or bearing bad news or for simply having unpopular opinions. While my own personal experiences with the chain of command show punishment will be delivered without an infraction, others' experiences create the perception of unjust punishment. In other cases, punishment is provided in response to mission-centric loyal dissent. 

Careers are ruined for providing mission inspired professional opinions to our leadership and this is widely known to be the case in our ops group. Command leadership from top to bottom in AETC role models a disinterest in the reality of mission related problems and the message is understood to be "I don't care...just do it." It is widely understood by multiple instructors that loyal dissent is simply not tolerated in our wing. This climate, in my opinion, may serve to stifle accurate information from flowing to decision makers and may potentially derail safety processes. The thermometers may be broken and leadership may not be getting an accurate reading. For example, instructors are seen as the last defense against unsafe flying operations and are told "there is nothing we do in training that is so important we can't do it tomorrow." This message isn't supported by leadership actions, however, and the six-day week belies this correct training perspective. 

Instructors are told they have the ability to call safety can ops cancel a sortie. It may be illuminating to track how many instructors have taken this option despite a grueling five-day week. 

3. Broken squadron processes. I believe there is a widespread

perception that the squadron and flights are unable to accomplish everything required without cutting corners. One example is the failure of the squadron to accomplish PT (a requirement that has recently been removed from regulations in testament to an inability to comply service wide). From my perspective, other issues are presented including time to complete routine syllabus events, computer based training events, etc. I believe corner cutting is standard to make due and I think this perception is shared by most of your instructors. 

4. Low aircrew experience level. This is a hallmark of our training

environment in which many pilots are low time FAIPs and the students, of course, bring less than limited experience. It's a continual factor in what we do and an ORM risk that sets us apart from the operational Air Force. 

The cited article discusses an increasing training burden. 

My understanding is the root of the problem in the 85th is exactly that; a significant increase in the number of students to be trained without an increase in instructor manning and given daylight flying hour limitations. Further, my understanding is higher headquarters does not want the 85th to wash out or wash back students in response to this increased burden. 

The article also discusses poor morale. I believe our squadron suffers from poor morale as well, particularly given the leadership climate, although instructors do a good job of dealing with it given a weekend to unwind. A weekend is a light at the end of the tunnel and pilots use it to reset. If this time is taken (cutting off time by 50%), I believe it will exact a psychological toll that exacerbates existing challenges much further than "simply one more day of work." A six day work week is merely one crew duty day from working continuously and will, in my opinion, lead to an outsized decrease in morale and leadership challenges.

A six day week exacts a real toll as people, even now, don't fully use that time to rest but to complete other Air Force related tasks such as PME and master's work in addition to the tasks that every individual in America must do...paying taxes, rent, housing repairs, etc. This is to say nothing of family obligations and raising children. I have talked to instructors who have pulled out of masters programs due to the ops tempo and know of one who predicts he will fail a course as a result of six day weeks. I believe the increased ops tempo, like sleep deficit, will have a compounding effect as individuals are not able to accomplish tasks in both their personal and professional lives. 

Of course, we are a military unit in a time of war. There may be times when we have to give all of our time to the mission. MWS instructors such as myself come from units that have done precisely that and have, in many cases, come to AETC seeking rest from heavy combat operations tempo, realizing they will go back to that same tempo when they leave Laughlin. 

I strongly recommend leadership discontinue any plans to leverage the weekends of its instructors and students. If, however, leadership continues this plan I make the following suggestions in an attempt to mitigate risk. 

First, leadership needs to communicate clearly the importance of the task that is justifying the increased risk through the higher ops tempo. If there is a valid justification, this will not only increase morale and win support for the decision but will serve to bolster the idea of operational risk management. Unless this clear justification is provided, the message may be received that risk does not require a clearly worthwhile reward and may have unintended negative consequences. While communicating to pilots the reason for the increase in ops tempo will not remove the increased risk, it will help mitigate it. 

Second, leadership should communicate an end in sight so people can buckle down and get it done. 

Third, leadership should spread the pain so that six day weeks are not encountered back to back and do not allow a night week to be a six day week which increases the risk even further and enhances the feelings of fatigue. This will allow airmen time to better take care of time sensitive tasks (like PME and master's work). 

Last, leadership should emphasize that the ability to knock off a sortie for safety is not only acceptable, but expected to happen with increased frequency. 

As to solutions on how to accomplish the increased training requirements without increasing the instructor force, the solution is simple. Commanders need to successfully meet their obligations to provide the resources to their people in order to accomplish the mission. Simply put, magic is not an Air Force core competency and there is no magical solution. The often heard "10 pounds in a 5 pound bag" is a denial of reality. This denial isn't healthy for an organization. It reminds me of an account where Jeff Skilling, president of Enron, was presented with information showing that Enron was employing magical solutions that would exact a price in reality. Skilling told the employee that he never wanted to see the slide again. The employee said "it's the facts" and Skilling said, "It may be the facts, but I don't want you to think about it like that!" Enron failed because it refused to accept reality. 

The fact is, as I see it, we can only accomplish so much safely until commanders provide the necessary resources. 

In summary, for the sake of safety I am calling Knock it Off on the six day week plan. If that ability has been removed, I have provided my recommendations to mitigate the significant increase of risk of flying six day weeks. 

Respectfully,

Maj Rick "Ryno" Rynearson
