It’s my well-informed suspicion that sooner or later, things are going to go dramatically wrong. Wrong is a relative state of reality. Drama, at least, we have already. I think in hindsight, it will be mind blowing how badly the average American failed to interpret what’s right in their faces. My mind was blown years ago, so maybe I don’t have the best gauge on such a nebulous concept that can’t really be measured through a quantitative method.
If one side is saying there are only two sides, I can agree with this in terms of good and evil. However, if this side is conducting a genocide while the world watches, and presides over an attempt to force usury, sodomy, and trannies on the entire world as part of an attempt to dominate it through what is essentially a Satanic cult, I find it inappropriate for this side to call itself the side of light.
Unless they mean this in terms of the meaning of the name “Lucifer.” Maybe this is what they actually mean and think the rest of us are too stupid to notice or understand the reference. This part, I’m not sure about, it’s just all very bizarre. Perhaps, let’s just go with the terms “good” and “evil” and skip all the occult references these creatures employ.
So, in conventional terms, whoever is doing or enabling what I’ve mentioned above would be on the evil side. In terms of Netanyahu’s rhetoric, this would make whoever is not doing these things, and in militant opposition to them, the good side. Pretty simple, right?
This would make Vladmir Putin, Iran, Kim Jong Un, the Houthis, etc. the good guys. For instance, Kim Jong Un claimed he had a plan to nuke Austin, Texas. Some Texans might support this plan, but it was actually a threat in response to the army we’ve placed on his border and our attempts to starve his people to death with sanctions. He was willing to negotiate until the neocons sabotaged Trump.
Is North Korea’s army on our border? No, it’s being overrun daily by hordes of human detritus. Why then would it be our obligation to care about anything that goes on in North Korea? Netanyahu’s ilk even made the remake of Red Dawn about North Korea invading America. The premise is so fundamentally retarded I couldn’t even watch the trailer.
Likewise, the Houthis have declared that their blockade is a response to the genocide in Gaza, and that they would stop if the genocide stops. Putin tried to peacefully resolve his dispute with the Zionists for years before having no choice but to intervene in both Syria and Ukraine. Even then, he tried to negotiate a way out of the current slaughter. The Russians are still conducting their operations with remarkable restraint.
I think to be an American who’s been around for decades yet who fails to understand how we fit into the big picture in Netanyahu’s terms requires being delusional or an idiot. Perhaps some Americans aren’t paying attention and dwell out in the middle of nowhere. In that case, good for them. They’re living their best lives I suppose.
What I’m referring to are my former comrades with silver oak leaves on their shoulders who are still pretty enthusiastic about our military and its current and potential adventures. They have advanced military educations and a great deal of experience at this point. Why would they think that any foreign excursion conducted by our military is a good idea?
The U.S. military isn’t going to subdue Yemen. It’s a rugged, mountainous country that’s only a bit more connected by modern infrastructure than Afghanistan. We failed at this task with troops on the ground in Afghanistan for decades. Air strikes are supposed to accomplish anything? How would they even know what to strike?
Are they aware the Houthis defeated the Saudis, who had no moral scruples whatsoever in the conduct of their campaign, and were supplied with the best money they could buy from Uncle Sam? Do they comprehend that the Houthis have Iran behind them, which entails them being supplied with very dangerous weaponry to American personnel? Do they understand that the most sophisticated weaponry hasn’t been used yet, so that we don’t know about it and thus would have more difficulty trying to employ countermeasures?
Just because the Houthis or Iran haven’t landed a heavy blow against the U.S. military doesn’t mean that they can’t do it. This is very basic stuff; you don’t need to be a contemporary Carl von Clausewitz to understand it. Nothing I’m writing in this article is anything more than informed common sense. That’s what I find so exasperating.
The Saudis went in with the most modern versions of the Abrams tank and the Houthis took them out, just like Hamas is doing to Israeli Merkavas in the rubble of Gaza. Nobody really cared about Yemen, so this didn’t get a lot of publicity, but these military professionals ought to know about all of these things. What the hell do they teach at the staff college?!!!
How do you keep thinking an organization’s ideas are good when they all consistently turn out bad? First, we had Iraq and Afghanistan, then Libya and Syria, and now everything is going horrifically wrong in Ukraine. Okay, so you think we’re still the good guys, but on what logical basis would you predict that we’ll encounter any success against the Houthis?
All America would need to do to stop the Houthi blockade is to stop flying cargo planes full of bombs into Israel for the genocide. Countries that aren’t complicit in the genocide aren’t having their shipping targeted. This is all very simple, and why nobody else wanted to participate in this stupid “Prosperity Guardian” operation in any meaningful way except for the UK. There’s no military solution, only an escalation towards disaster. This could all stop tomorrow if the genocide stops.
What I don’t understand about my former comrades is what they think is going on in the heads of these bad guys. I’d assume that everyone attempts to perform this procedure when they deal with other people unless there’s something wrong with them. Do they think the Houthis are doing this because they’re assholes?
Putin talks at great length about why Russia is taking its military courses of action, addressing specific issues with specific reasoning. Do they think he’s a villain from a Tom Clancy novel? America politicians don’t talk like this, so maybe they don’t have a frame of reference, but still. Ostensibly, the U.S. military is led by a senile man who can only remember to be a pervert to young girls.
I totally understand that you’ve been through a lot for Uncle Sam, so you need to get at least your 20 years in so you can collect on the pension you’re owed. But why the enthusiasm? This is especially after your promotion gets held up because you’re a White male. There have been so many experiential reference points at which you should be able to discern that America isn’t on the side of angels or at least that the general situation isn’t developing positively for the U.S. military. Sometimes my former comrades interpret me as a profound cynic, but I’m just interfacing with reality.
If someone is telling me something that doesn’t make sense, and the predictions this person makes consistently turn out to be wrong, this is someone I interpret as having no credibility. This applies to the U.S. government and our military. I’m not denigrating anyone’s service. I also get that we’ve all got our responsibilities and the salary from Uncle Sam is a significant part of how these responsibilities are met.
But, isn’t raising one’s young children preferable to getting killed in a foreign military adventure? Maybe they don’t even see that as a possible outcome or that foreign military adventures don’t serve the security interests of the USA. One of them told me we need a war to sort things out with Russia and China. I’ve been observing a lot of rah, rah, rah about the Houthis. I, just for the life of me, can’t understand the enthusiasm, let alone the expectation of success. I could rant about this all day, so I’ll just cut it off here.
At least the younger guys are getting it:
I’m proud to officially announce my candidacy for the office of Dogcatcher.
“Nothing I’m writing in this article is anything more than informed common sense. That’s what I find so exasperating.”
AMEN to that, my friend!
Perhaps a clue to this exasperating impenetrability can be seen in this excerpt from Donald Day’s ‘Onward Christian Soldiers’:
“In his book ‘Innocents Abroad’, our Mark Twain devoted a few scathing paragraphs to the Czar and his regime. Twain exemplified the attitude of the average American, who is little different from the average human being and is prone to form opinions upon hearing one-sided or insufficient evidence. The extremely bad reputation which the Czarist regime had abroad for cruelty and despotism was largely manufactured by the Jews. The old ruling class in Russia was mostly of Nordic-Teutonic origin. This class learned to know the Jew through centuries of contact. And the better they came to know them, the more adamant they were against allowing them more privileges.”
Donald Day, ‘Onward Christian Soldiers’
German Confederate.
The book ‘iron curtain over America’ by Beaty (SMU professor) 1951, has the timeline of the German Czars and their interaction with the Jews in it.
The book I’m reading now ‘Twilight of the Hapsburgs’ Zab Zeman 1971 is really answering a lot of questions for me. For example p. 37-38.
A moderate faction separated from the movement; its leaders recognized that, in alliance with Germany, the Supra-national character of the monarchy could survive. Schonerer was irreconcilable. He engorged the Slavs, the Catholic Church, the Jews, the dynasty without a nationality, in a continuous fierce battle. He became a Protestant because, in the words of his Los-von-Rom manifesto, ‘ever more clearly and plainly we may see the Slav insolence and Roman lust for power have closely allied themselves in the old German ostmark In order to annihilate Germendom in this empire which has been built up on German foundations’
Young Adolf Hitler, an Austrian by birth, became an admirer of Georg von Schonerer. He hated the Hapsburg state and everything it stood for, and fled to Munich in 1913 rather than serve in the Austro-Hungarian army. The situation that he experienced in Vienna before the war—the decline of the power and influence of the Germans—occurred again, in his view, after 1918 when Germany lost the war. It was re-enacted on a large scale: instead of Austria-Hungary, the whole world witnessed the humiliation of the Germans. Hitler at once recognized the situation for what it was, and reacted in a way Schonerer would have approved of.
I find that fascinating being a history buff and whom was heavily influenced by Catholicism as a younger man. What do you think?
God Bless you always Sir
Hello Outside Looking In!
I have ‘Iron Curtain Over America’ and read it many years ago, but perhaps should revisit it. I’ll have to learn more about Georg von Schonerer.
This may be somewhat off point, but I’ve always been struck by how the NSDAP was such a popular movement and always had its hand on the pulse of the people. Christian critics of the Reich like to point to the infamous T-4 program of euthanasia without giving any thought to the context. As a Christian myself, I don’t defend it except to add that the program was abandoned in response to public outcry. By way of contrast, the ‘decent’ Christians of our own country seem at peace with years of abortion and sodomy and the few remaining protesters are basically ignored by TPTB.
I’ll only add that even unlikely non-Christian National Socialists like Dietrich Eckhardt and Himmler acknowledged that Germany was a Christian country and they sought to govern accordingly for the most part. By contrast, America is avowedly a Communist country and they don’t care if you like it or not.
The reason I find that excerpt so fascinating is because I know how worldly the Catholic power became in my mother’s country Portugal, she was named after a German nun by a very devout mother.
I am ashamed at how the Portuguese men were herded to the trenches of WW1 to fight Germans without protest, after our King was murdered in 1910 by Judeo-masons. That’s probably why I respect the Germans so much with their fight for freedom and nobility. The true children of the living God as far as I’m concerned.
I know the company Siemens were behind T4, but cannot remember all the particulars. I know the gravely ill were put to rest.
I have been very tired from work the last few months, I wish I could have engaged with you a lot more. Thank you for your reply.
To be fair, here’s the preceding paragraph to my excerpt above. P. 37
The slow decline of the German influence in the Austrian part of the monarchy, and the fast rise of the Czechs to prominence in Bohemia and Moravia increased the bitterness of politics within the empire. Extremist parties like the German National movement (Deutsch-national Bewegung) led by Georg von Schonerer in Vienna demanded that the Germans should be given a majority position in parliament. They wanted Hungary to be linked with Austria only by a personnel union, and the alliance with Germany to be strengthened.
God Bless you Sir

So much still to learn and so little time. Thanks for all the information that I’m hopeful will lead me down other ‘rabbit trails’.
I know that both Hans Ulrich Rudel (Stuka Pilot) and Otto Weidinger in their memoirs give special mention of the Czechs as being bestial and dishonorable in their treatment of Germans when defeat was inevitable. Yet, David Irving writes that when Reinhard Heydrich was assassinated, many thousands of them mourned his death because German rule had brought them close to full employment and much-improved living conditions?
I think fighter pilot Hans Ekkehard Bob put it so well regarding Germans when all accounts are settled:
“Germany has become a sort of Canossa Republic, a republic of remorse. … I think Germany has always been a Canossa Republic and it is a predisposition of German character. … Maybe we want to thus excuse ourselves all the time for being so efficient. … This causes envy, and envy is the father of war. p. 155. … When the day comes that the powers of this world are … measured by … their mental, scientific, and cultural achievements and, not least of all, their contribution to the freeing of the human race from fear and suffering, then the Germans will not take a bad place in the ranking of nations.” p. 157.

Today, the neocon monsters that run Instapundit are attacking Mennonites for their participation in the Gaza genocide protests at the Capitol. Commenters are accusing the Mennonites of supporting genocide. Mennonites!!! Strict pacifists and practitioners on physical nonresistance.
The Ashkenazis are truly the Sons of Satan.
Military behave like children. When I was at Benning, people were excited about Grenada a year and a half later. The army’s track record has not been good but that does not deter young guys who think nothing will happen to them. I am glad recruitment numbers are down.
Anyone who thinks Netanyahu and his neocon minions (and their predecessors)in the cesspool on the Potomac have initiated a righteous war in the last 163 years deserve nothing but contempt. That’s the only thing they get from me: contempt.
