Veteran Wins Against Navy Base Commander Censoring His Social Media

Congratulations to the Center for Individual Rights on yet another victory.  This time it was a military spouse, himself a veteran, who was banned on the Facebook page of the Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay installation.  Apparently they didn't like his comments about a power outage.

That, of course, violated the First Amendment (that's part of the document the commander of the installation swore to support and defend) and the veteran, Sergio Rodriguez, filed suit on the commander and his public affairs staff.  It should be noted for morons and Stetson-something-or-rather law graduates that government officials censoring people on social media violates the First Amendment while non-government people censoring individuals does not, because the First Amendment restrains government rather than private citizens.

Sergio was victorious and the installation admitted it violated the Constitution and has agreed to change its policies.  Good on Rodriguez for his defense of our rights and, as usual, the Center for Individual Rights for doing the heavy lifting.  They provide pro bono services to clients and depend on donations for their great work, so if you're so inclined, please consider supporting their work.

There aren't many perks to legal action, but one of the few is getting to see your legal action help somebody else in their fight against tyranny, whether through legal precedent (which isn't the case for settlements) or by demonstrating that Americans do have some recourse which can inspire others to also defend our rights:

The pattern goes back further still. In August 2022, the Center for Individual Rights won a similar case against the Air Force, when a settlement required Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force JoAnne Bass to update comment policies on her official Facebook page after blocking retired Air Force Maj. Richard Lee Rynearson III for critical posts, according to Military.com. Taken together, the cases against the Air Force, the National Guard, and now the Navy point to a recurring problem of military public affairs offices trying to curate online forums even as courts and the services' own rules increasingly say they cannot.

Israeli Thoughts on Using Debt to Get Americans to Join up For a Ground Invasion of Iran

 From the Jerusalem Post:

Economic enlistment for indebted military-age Americans

The narrative war on the domestic American front has already failed. The Pentagon has not been able to sell this war to the American public because the war has been rhetorically fused with Israel's operations in Gaza, and the American public rejects the fusion.

Recruitment numbers are running below what a ground invasion of Iran would require. Estimates for a successful ground campaign against Iran's 31 provincial commands and its Mosaic Defense Doctrine run between 750 thousand and 1.5 million American troops. The current active US Army stands at roughly 452 thousand. The math does not work, obviously. 

Based on American history, however, there is a path forward. Not conscription or a draft in a world war-era sense, but enlistment through a “debt forgiveness program.”

The average American aged 18 to 34 carries more than $40 thousand in non-mortgage debt across student loans, credit card balances, auto loans, and personal loans, with some estimates go as high as $100 thousand.

This is the cohort the Pentagon needs. A federally administered debt-forgiveness enlistment program that fully discharges student loan, credit card, and loan balances after 24 or 36 months of service, and extends the GI Bill, would produce voluntary enlistment at scale.

This is not theoretical.

It is the American state doing what the American state has always done when it needed staff it could not otherwise generate. World War II offered the GI Bill. Vietnam offered college deferments. The post 9/11 wars offered signing bonuses and citizenship pathways. The Iran war will need to offer debt relief. The economics of the indebted American 20-and 30-something make this the most efficient conversion mechanism available to the Pentagon and the Trump administration.

The moral reading on this is uncomfortable. But states generate the soldiers they need through the incentives that work on the population they have.

Just wait until Israel, which controls our puppet government, uses our unconstitutional draft in order to send our slaves to die for Israel against their will.  History shows this is often the fate for a conquered nation, supplying flesh for their master's war machine.

Traitor and Foreign Operative, Brian Mast, Considered for Secretary of the Army

So Florida's representative, Brian Mast, is being considered for Secretary of the Army despite him being a foreign asset who wears his IDF uniform in Washington DC.  Here is a propaganda article mentioning the move which doesn't fail to remind the reader that if you are concerned about a U.S. Congressman wearing the IDF uniform at "our" nation's Capitol, well, you're just antisemitic of course.  What a shocker the article comes from the great satellite state of Florida, where the Israel-puppet governor signs unconstitutional bills that violate the rights of Floridians, and does so over in the motherland that is Israel.  It's still mind boggling that DeSantis has any support whatsoever after that treasonous move.  There is the West Bank, there is Gaza, and then there is Florida.

Not that the United States as a whole is doing much better given that 98% of Congress takes Israel's bribes, the President is a foreign-asset, and Israel is allowed to murder folks like Charlie Kirk while its puppets in "our" government cover it up.  Not to mention their child trafficking intelligence operations.

Oh, and let's not forget the bill waiting for the Senate to vote, Section 1217, which would merge (hand over) our military and intelligence capabilities to Israel.  Our nearly-completely-owned-by-Israel media will, of course, tell you this is a conspiracy theory and it doesn't "merge" our military it just "increases cooperation."  So Israel won't have to spy so hard in the future in order to gain that "increased cooperation."

What a weak conquered nation is the United States of Israel.
