Veteran suicide

As a combat veteran, well and truly shot at a fair amount in the unfriendly skies of the Vietnam war, I am amazed at the non-veteran, catch-all campaign against veteran suicide.

Please consider this ONE salient point here: The vast majority of combat veterans are NOT afraid of death. Their training removed that worry, and successful combat operations reinforced it. In fact, dying heroically has been glorified in all military structures since the beginning of organized warfare. Dying in combat IS the ultimate expression of a soldier's duty performed. Why then, are these non-combat REMFs (look that slang up) so insistent that a veteran CHOOSING death over life are so puzzled by veterans who make that ultimate choice?

The "New" World Order and why it must die

A somber subject to be sure.

Eighty years ago, most of the world went to war with National Socialists. The National Socialists, aka "Fascists", declared their "1,000-year Reich", a World Order, and were then totally defeated.

 

The victorious Nations got together, formed the United Nations, declared that National Socialism would never again besmirch the world, but the collegial diplomats did NOTHING to protect their planet.

 

Today, we have the "New" World Order, a shadowy group very much dedicated to achieving the same goals of Socialism that were defeated 74 years ago and were outlawed by those United Nations 70 years ago.

 

In the meanwhile, the United Nations has now become the biggest enabler of National Socialism, which masquerades as other things, but on it's face, real socialism can't hide it's face, even when it tries hard to do that.

 

We're about to have another war to defeat Socialism right here in this USA, and the "New" World Order will see to it that the war is again, a World War.

 

My father fought in WW2, won that VICTORY, and passed the ensuing Mantle of Peace down to me. I did MY military duty and protected it, as best as I could, and the Oaths I swore are as sacred as the Oaths my father swore before me and my Daughter swore after me.

 

Every day, in many ways, the "New" World Order of Socialism tries to blunt my Oath, and I will eventually have to take up arms again to make good on that Oath.

 

The "New" World Order has an objective: after destroying the world as we now know it, rebuild a nation-less global society, no borders, no ethnic differences, total fealty to the Order and it's leaders. There are over 6.5 billion people on this planet now, and the "New" World Order has decided that all but a billion of them are surplus, and famines and war is the best way to reduce the populations to their target level. Oh, abortion, also.

 

Maybe 30-50 people sit in the top rank of the "New" World Order, and at their behest, five and a half billion people must die, if their goal is to be met.

 

Unless that 30-50 people in the "New" World Order top rank dies first, the depopulation of the planet will happen.

 

YOU face a choice of whose side to take in this conflict.

 

I'm already sworn as to which side I will take.

 

Yes, the choice has come down to this.

Wishful Thinking

I have observed that President Trump is a Wishful Thinker. He WISHES that the D-Rats would end their "Resistance" and let him govern as he was elected to do, and maybe even JOIN him in governing.

Sorry, Mr President, that isn't going to happen. To the D-Rats, Communism here in the USA was INEVITABLE, Hillary's election was INEVITABLE, and killing off GOPes as a Party with illegals voting was INEVITABLE. You have interrupted the INEVITABILITY of their process, so they say that YOU must go, Mr. President.

So we now have YOUR Wishful Thinking, Mr Trump, and it's delaying the D-Rats' inevitability. This confilict will only end when one side vanquishes the other, sir. Unless YOU want to surrender to the D-Rat Communists and be vanquished, YOU must vanquish THEM. As in, REMOVE them from the conflict. Since it's too early in the conflict's rational continuum for guns, YOU must arrest a few of them for the obvious corruption charges you can prove and thereby force the others to retreat into obscurity. You have no choice in this process, Mr President.

It's YOU or THEM.

There is NO middle ground.

ACT, Mr President!

Marxism 102, short course

Election 2020, Marxism on display. I give you "Marxism 102" to help you sort it all out.

 

There are two kinds of Marxism in the world today: Classic (Maoist) Marxism and Oligarchical Marxism, which we could call "Modern Marxism", I suppose.

 

Classical Marxism, the Marxism of Che Guevara, the Sandinistas, Mao in China, Nikita Kruschev, is all about "we are going to FORCE Socialism on you, and no, we don't care where the necessary money comes from, we'll tax at 100% to pay for it." In other words, with Classical Marxism, there is no wiggle room, no one is allowed to be rich except the State.

 

In Oligarchical Marxism, the Marxist dictator (the Oligarch) ALLOWS some of the benefits of Capitalism: you CAN accumulate $$$ to a degree, also, consumer goods past the bare necessities of life ARE allowed. The State still controls most everything, such as banking, education, etc, but to the slaves laboring for the dictator, it ALMOST seems like freedom. This is the Marxism of Vlady Putin in Russia, of Xi JinPing in China.

 

Application time. Hop back into our borders (everyone else wants to!) and let's look at what Marxism HERE feels like. We have Election 2020 coming up, with our Soft-Capitalist President running against a bunch of Marxists. BTW, we retired an Oligarchical Marxist (Obama) when we elected Trump. Trump now faces the (whoever) Marxist (fill in the name) for election in 57 weeks. Trump campaigns on his Capitalist successes, and the Marxists are all campaigning on THEIR plans to destroy those successes and put Marxism in place of them.

 

All of the high-ranking Democrat contenders are Classical Marxists except Biden, who would be an Obama-style Oligarchical Communist, but he will go away quickly now because he couldn't zip his lip and boasted about his oligarchy on video. Oligarchy is still frowned upon in America.

 

Bernie, Harris, Warren are the front-runners left, and they ALL have spouted Classical Marxist lines of destroying business and industry by Nationalizing it, financing Statism by doubling taxes (or more than doubling, if you do the required math). Of course, removal of Civil Right is a theme all three follow, also: you can't have that pesky R2KBA and that pesky Free Speech undercutting Marxist power, can you?

 

Nope, the Democrats have seen and felt just how fast Marxism can be reversed with a Capitalist at the helm, so now they abandon their gradualism approach to Marxism and go Full-Frontal Communist.

 

The D-Rats will lose next November, and Trump will be re-elected, perhaps even changing the House back to GOPe control in the process. Communists ALWAYS lose elections when they have to play by Freedom's rules, but they have a Plan for that, also: It's called Revolution, the bloodier, the better.

 

When Trump wins, or maybe even before that if the polling shows him to be unbeatable by September or October next year, USA's streets will run in blood. That's sad, but necessary, because the Final Lesson of my Marxism 102 course (this will be on the Test) is that old truism that Marxism can be VOTED in, but it can only be DRIVEN out, by force of arms.

 

You know what, students? The Communists think the same way about Marxism, and we Liberty-loving types have backed the commies into a corner now, so yes, people, you WILL get to use those #TenMillionRifles in anger...

It was a helluva fight...

...for this hero to stay in the military.

I had my own such fight, but mangaged it to eventually retire.

Read about this amazing soldier here.

War Spirit vs war psychs

Wounded Warrior Project just put up an ad claiming to "help wounded warriors forget".

 

NO! NO! NO! A thousand times, NO!

 

War changes you. A LOT! The lazy psychs who claim to deal with it lump the changes under the heading of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome). That's the way the APA (American Psychological Association) does things - sloppily. Don't believe me? Grab a DSM, 0pen it. Look at the way it organizes not-normal behaviors. Enough said.

 

Back to wounded WARRIORS (emphasis mine). The psychs TOTALLY fail to account for the Warrior's SPIRIT.

 

Warfighting is NEVER a natural human condition. You have to be trained to fight. However, it's up to the individual Warrior to strengthen his or her war-Spirit. Most Warriors do that, whether they mean to or not. It's part of focussing on war. Once your war-Spirit is strong, only Death can interrupt it. Not idiocy in leadership, not idiotic ROEs, not inferior weaponry, only YOU and Death can hurt your war-Spirit.

 

Along come the psychs telling us that PTSD-wounded warriors must be taught to obliterate their war-Spirit, to suppress it.

 

Here's news you can use, bonehead psychs, you are doing it completely ass-backwards. A Warrior with his/her head in the wrong place needs to FIND and STRENGTHEN their war-Spirit, not suppress it.

 

Your strong war-Spirit got you through your wars, got you home alive, even if damaged, and that war-Spirit will now let you come to grips with the horrors that WERE in all that fighting. It will let you heal yourself back to the level you had when you fought your best fight.

 

You are a Warrior. No one can take that away, and if they try, they are the enemy, trying to do behind your back what they couldn't do to your face on your battlefields.

 

Keep fighting, my brothers and sisters. God will relieve you of Warrior duty when it's your turn to be relieved. I have your back. You have mine. We fight together. If there is Peace to be found, we will find it together.

News item: Trump to GTFO the 'Stan

Cue the Paul-bots cheering.

Cue the NWO wallahs and Soros popping corks.

Cue Trump losing the 2020 election!

Trump: US will GTFO 'Stan! Sir you just lost the election and doomed the USA! Read on!

The "plan", a NWO creation, hinges on the Taliban promising they won't launch terror in other countries! Guess what, you dipshidiots, they already do. See: Waziristan. See Chechnya.

The War on Terror now becomes just another Vietnam. Never Again? My ass! Here's what your "plan" will do, my fine NWO President: millions of Veterans, expressing disgust, will not vote next year. Trump then loses a perfectly winnable election, and the USA becomes a 'Stan itself, not under Islam just yet, but quickly under Marxism.

All you effwads who kept telling me that Trump has this magic, his personal "I can out-deal anyone" schtick? Well Trump's "diplomacy" has worked just WHERE? You claim it worked with 'Lil Kimmy. He's laughing at you, shooting missiles every day. You claim it worked with the PROC's Chairman Xi: he's killing us with Fentanyl, which he promised YOU that he would ban the export of.

You now say you can "deal" with the Taliban? You just doomed thousands of Afghans who fought on our side. You just doomed the sane people in Pakistan, who control their NUKES, and will now be forced to give a few to the Islamists, to use on Israel, which causes them to use theirs and the Middle East will glow for milennia. I'm beginning to believe the entire "DTS" rubric is a NWO "maskirovka", a deception move. Trump is THEIR man, looks like to me.

Now it ALL makes sense that he didn't boot very many "Obama Generals" from the Pentagon: he needs their surrendering "expertise" to get us out of yet another war we had previously won. Remember back after 9-11-01, when we sent the 10th Mountain Division there, with NO ROE's, and they kicked ass and cleaned house in less than a year? I remember that. Then we removed the 10th Mountain and sent in the Lawyers, who started arresting our OWN troops for violating suicidal ROEs. Me? No, I was retired in '95, but I went to SE Asia to fight for the USA FIFTY years ago, was there 3 years, then we just quit THAT war.

BTW, I was personally involved in an aborted bombing mission that was the first example of that quitting. I was Wave Lead Navigator on that mission guiding 18 BUFFs into Laos, when Nixon allowed Kissinger to rat out our target to NVA General Giap. My target was the entire POL supply for the NVA armored push through Laos into the Parrot's Beak and South Vietnam. We could have killed all that NVA armor when it ran out of fuel, just like in the Battle of the Bulge in WW2, but Kissinger sold out the target to the NVA just for a PROMISE of "peace talks", which the NVA reneged on just hours later, but by the time a second attack on the POL supply was organized, the enemy had dispersed most of it (it was on 30,000-gallon fuel lighters in an arm of the Ton Le Sap Lake). Over a dozen steel barges I had under the crosshairs on my bombing radar. At 120 seconds to bomb release, we got the coded abort message and went to our secondary target, some truck parks on the Trail. Nope, that's MY 'Nam PTSD, knowing that I, PERSONALLY, might have helped to WIN the damn war and they wouldn't let me. We now will do that again, so I'm angry.

How angry? Well, I know lots of Veterans, and if my 'suasion is still any good, NONE of them will vote for Trump if he pulls this shit.

File this "plan" under "How to kill the morale of the entire military in one fell swoop".

Invasion solutions

The UniParty in Congress is working VERY hard to facilitate the illegal invasion across our southern border. I have a solution.

 

A military solution. If MX Pres. Obrador fails the "agreement", we CLOSE the border, evacuate all US tourists and ex-pats who will use their brains and accept ending their vacations, then counter-invade Mexico.

 

Mexico has NO jet fighters, just some prop-jet COIN aircraft hardly suitable for attacking a hardened mechanized force like our Army and Marines. Our troops would be there for ONE purpose, to guide and guard trucks full of Invaders back into Mexico where they came from. We would establish supply depots of humanitarian aid out in the Mexican hinterlands, up to 100-150 miles inside Mexico, and the trucks unload there. Railcars could also be used for this if we can secure their railroad for that job. This process continues indefinitely.

 

Next, we apply economic pressure. No, not puny 5% tariffs, a complete commercial EMBARGO, both ways. No dollars get to Mexico, in any form, in this plan.

 

Next, we ask for REGIME CHANGE. We tell Mexico to boot their President and replace him with someone selected SPECIFICALLY to honor the integrity of the US border, and who will accept the return to Mexico of up to 5 million illegals per year until we have no more to return. Dollars might be given to Mexico to facilitate that.

 

Believe it or not, these are only medium-grade sanctions. Mexico HAS declared WAR on us by facilitating this Invasion, and we are entitled, both by the Treaty of Hidalgo (1848) and by the UN Charter, Article 51, to defend ourselves, AND take measures to ensure relief from additional Mexican war moves. Those measures could and SHOULD include permanent incursions into Mexican territory to strategically deny them the ability to mass such invasion forces in the future.

 

This isssue lends itself to such plain and simple solutions. It has only become complex because the Left has decided to use the full force of politics to defeat common sense and US self-protection.

 

You will notice that my plan does NOT include taking any action against the Democrats. They have already committed crimes against this country, we have the evidence in hand, and are waiting for who-knows-what signal to begin to imprison them, so that's a separate set of circumstances and must be kept separate.

 

Let's git 'er done, but station one battalion of MPs in Washington, DC, to move in and remove the Congress, should their Treason become any more obvious than it already is.

We're at WAR, Mr. Trump, fight and win it for us!

Re: The Democratic Party: What you have here is a POLITICAL PARTY tying to overthrow the legitimate government of the USA with acts of force and violence. I don't know what YOU call that, but I call it WAR. The USA is at WAR with the Democratic Party and their sycophants, and the USA seems unable to properly fight back. THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE USA CONSTITUTION WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE A COVER FOR REBELLION VS USA GOVERNMENT.

 

President Trump, the "shrug and hope it goes away" strategy has failed. For starters, the Democratic Party needs to be sued out of existance as a Racketeer-Influenced Corrupt Organization, and doing so would be a slam-dunk court case. If this fails to stop the Democrats, then bump it up: POTUS can, as the legitimate Head of State, declare in the United Nations that the USA is in a state of violent armed rebellion. POTUS uses Article 51 of the UN Charter for that (self-defense of members allowed).

 

If the riots, etc, persist, the President can call out the Militia, and order the Armed Forces to support it. Can you see Pantifa standing up against a Well-Regulated Militia trained and equipped to use deadly force and commanded by officers with ONE order only: Restore Order and end the leftist predations? I can't see that happening.

 

At some point, the POTUS will need to ask the SCOTUS to remove the jurisdiction of the lower Courts in favor of the Militia's use of the Universal Code of Military Justice during the Restoration period. Yes, that would be the dreaded "martial law", but the USA has already had Martial Law four times that I can read about in the History books: War of 1812, Civil War, World Wars One and Two, each time applied in varying degrees to keep the USA safe from it's sworn enemies.

 

It's WAR, Mr. Trump. It's not fun, it's not nice, but we have it now, deliberate WAR brought by the Democratic Party. Please, Mr. President, REMOVE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY UTTERLY FROM OUR POLITICS, CULTURE AND MIDST.

 

We are close to having to rise up in our own counter-rebellion, start a Civil War and do the job ourselves. That would be ugly, and leftists from outside of our borders would probably try to get involved on the Democrats' side. Follow my plan to take out the Democrats, Mr. President, and you have no worries about exterior forces coming into play.

"Obama General" runs the Oregon National Guard

I just watched the Governess Kate Brown Show on her Wildfire Conflagration Declaration (although she wasn't smart enough to use that proper term) on KPTV Ch 12. She mumbled through her part of the presentation, then presented various agency heads to give spiels.

I watched the Adjutant General of the Oregon National Guard, MAJ GEN Michael E. Stencel, with interest, since I am an Air Nasty Guard retiree and worked for the Adjutant Generals while I served in the Air Guard. Right off the bat, General Stencel goes political, profusely thanking (D) Senators Merkely and Wyden for getting the Oregon National Guard training money so expeditiously.

This caused me to issue a "HUH?", because other than their votes for the current NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act), the Senators could have had NOTHING to do with getting that money out to Oregon in a timely fashion. That would have been the responsibility of the National Guard Bureau, and ultimately, Sec/Def Mattis, who works for TRUMP, last time I checked.

Next, this caused me to go to my study and get out the latest copy of the "Oregon Sentinel", the excellent quarterly put out for Guard folks (and whoever else cares to read it) by the Oregon National Guard Public Affairs Section. This issue is Vol. 16, No. 2, and it contains TWO articles on topic. The first, on Page 2, by General Stencel himself, is titled, "Oregon Guard uniquely suited for domestic response", in which he describes his job of leading the Guard, especially in readiness for exigiencies such as a bad fire season. He doesn't mention any Democrats in this article. The article is aimed at members and leaders of the Guard, is a very rah-rah article.

The second article, on Page 7, is titled, "Chinook helicopter unit prepares for homeland missions", and refers to the B Co, 1 BN, 168th Aviation Regiment, a CH-47D outfit operating out of Pendleton, Oregon. The article mentions that this helo unit is the first to be certified in "Bambi Bucket" water drops by the US Forest Service's Aviation branch flight-check section. This is where that NDAA money went first, the money that GEN Stencel gave credit for to Merk, our Jerk, and Wyden, New York's Third Senator, for getting these dollars to us.

Speaking of Oregon's two Senators, how did they vote on the 2018 NDAA, HJR 2810? According to this: they both voted "Nay", or no! The Bill passed the Senate 89-8, by the way.

So, GEN Stencel, do you think that maybe, just maybe, you might want to issue a clarification about your profuse thanks to the Senators who ACTUALLY voted to DENY Oregon the funding to train the National Guard for firefighting service?

If you fail to issue this clarification, General, we have no choice, sir, but to label you an Obama General, and if I know Sec/Def Mattis, Obama Generals are on his Do Not Retain list.
