Just a thought - ref Daniel 5

 Mene: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.

Tekel: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.

Peres: Your kingdom is divided 

Short answer

 I was asked twice by non-veteran friends what I thought of the story carried by numerous journals about today's Navy.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/can-the-us-navy-fight-and-win-a-war/ar-AAPVHgC

Short answer - fight?  Yes, it'll be receiving rounds soooo ... it'll be in a fight.

Win?  NO.

The Culture is toxic.  No warriors.  No leaders.  

https://blog.usni.org/posts/2021/10/27/a-culture-of-lying-a-profession-in-a-crisis-of-candor 

Personnel.  Critical perishable skills gone.  Time wasted on marxist indoc and ass covering.  

And are they tough?  

Ships and combat systems material condition?

But, hey, whadda I know?  What today's Navy has is "Diversity is our strength".

Good luck wid dat sailor.

Somehow requiring voter ID makes sense in Nigeria.  How come it doesn't in Virginia?

Of course Barry Soetoro KNOWS the truth.  And I've told you it was coming almost since I started this blog.

Rx - Remove ALL UNIPARTY 4th Reichers from positions of influence on elections and campaigns.

Do it now.

The Storm

We know now the shape of the regime in in the US, the 'fourth reich'. Lots of socialist jabber but at core totalitarian, even facist.  Joint mega corporate and race obsessed government.   It even has it's own Dr. Mengele (Fauci).

Xi and the CCP vs. Soros and the Davos crew are the two players competing for world domination.  Soros apparently feels the US is under control sufficient to focus on Xi.  There will be rear guard action to maintain control, throwing elections and such, but he's probably right in his assessment.

So, what for the middle class, working Americans?  Where do we turn for support while the reich turns the screws ever tighter?

Here's a great speech by an actor I've never noticed before.  He has the conviction to deliver his message powerfully.

Home from a short vacation

Nothing clears the mind and mends the soul like a week or so (almost) completely away from the daily outrage of the the 'news' and time spent in contemplation of Gods work in nature.  

HRH and I went via road to Durango, Colorado, then to Santa Fe, New Mexico.

The late autumn colors in the Colorado mountains were wonderful.  And riding the steam powered narrow gauge train from Durango this time of year is recommended.  (Dress WARM)

Inspiring but, after Switzerland (1),  not exactly evocative of Tolkien's Misty Mountains.

Moderating the experience there was the sense the city was going to seed with the homeless, pot shops, and bizarre, confused young people about.

Santa Fe was a shorter visit (RO1N) than planned due to some berthing issues.  A quick tour of the shops in the towns center revealed it's targeting fools with money to waste.  No opportunity to see GRR Martin's theater and coffee shop.  

Then again, no injuries due to commie lib gun slingers either (that I heard about).  

And now, sigh, back to life in modern America.

1. the actual inspiration for Tolkien's Misty Mountains and Rivendell were in Switzerland.  https://stories.jungfrauregion.swiss/en/story-tolkien

  

Defund Police? No. Defund Public Schools!

 The need to rescreen all personnel involved with public education is clear.  Individuals like this should be institutionalized, not teaching in institutions.

Admin Note

Busy family day.  But 2 items to share.

I've given up on 'how late is it' missives. In case you missed it, as described by the oddball, but frequently insightful, Styx. we are already in an Authoritarian State, aka the Fourth Reich.  The threat of government/corporate punishment is already shaping behavior.

and

I'd like to highlight two tools I use in research I've added to the sidebar: Discover the Networks and OpenSecrets.  If you explore them you'll see why I use them.

Homework assignment for anyone with the time.  Research https://ruckus.org/ and https://amgreatness.com/2021/05/10/why-is-the-government-hiding-january-6-video-footage/

Just a matter of flexible definitions

If you had any suspicion the Fourth Reich in DC might be skirting the law to surveil political opponents - you're absolutely right.  

"... according to the White House’s National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism, I am a potential domestic extremist. "

Also note the demand FBI has made for some 200,000 Protonmail accounts.  

Hmmm ,,,,   

Doubt the veracity of the 2020 election?  

Know the truth about HZQ/Zn?  

Got a Protonmail account?  

Hey, BINGO! I resemble that remark.  

Do I get any points for having told 'ya so?

Hanlon's Razor

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." 

Ohhh .... he's this Mattis.

Perhaps a fool and not a traitor.  Either way, would have been better for the Republic had he the decency to  'fade away'.

Then ... again ... is this merely stupid???  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9652287/The-Pentagon-funneled-39million-charity-funded-Wuhan-lab.html

Right about the problem - wrong on the answer

More than Half of Trump Voters Would Like to Secede from the Union While Most Americans Believe We’re No Longer a Democracy

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/10/half-trump-voters-like-secede-union-americans-believe-no-longer-democracy/

They're right.  The fourth reich is soundly in power.  BUT - secession is NOT the right answer.

Let's kick CA, NY,  and IL out instead.

Problem solved.
