Sounds like allot of envy here and we understand exactly what is happening in our Country. The pendulum swings from a natural order. Now that the natural balance is swinging the other direction it is like a loud mouthed bully finally getting punched in the throat. The Democrats and Socialist Left tried everything to criticize and dehumanize Trump, and now the consequences of their actions are being made public and they are being held accountable. How dare they be confronted by their own miserable ways?
Just imagine that civilization is a ship on the vast ocean. It is the man made vessel designed to keep you from being swallowed by entropy (the water).
Now imagine the borders are like the hull. And the swarms of these invaders are the water.
Whoever the captain of the ship is, can order the hull plugs to be removed, letting water flow in.
Eventually the ship sinks.
This metaphor is designed to make you ask why. Why would a boat captain want to sink his own ship?
The answer is, of course, demonic in nature. Rooted in the spiritual war that rages in this realm around us. It is anchored in envy. The have-nots viscerally despising those who have.
But more importantly, why would the crew (the population) EVER allow the captain to remove the hull plugs in the first place?
Wouldn’t mutiny be justified at that point?
Mutiny is DEFINITELY justified at that point. Otherwise the captain will sink the ship.
Civil war in Western Europe is inevitable. It is not an if. It is a when.
My favorite breakfast story... in the 80s we had a MKT section attached to our unit in Belgium for a company level NATO exercise... the XO had the old style Unit Credit Card and went out on the market to purchase local food to feed the 100 paratroopers. Our attached cooks made us some of the best food I've ever had in 30 years of the Army. Thick cut bacon, fresh eggs, local smoked sausage, fresh hasbbrowns! I can still smell the bacon drifting throughout the position!
@markbdelaney@dmbkparker My free-thinking intel section of the OPFOR came up with this profile and targeted some of the intel guys in the Division staff they were up against
@Sassafrass_84 I've been saying this for a long time... our Lake Time is a beautiful place full of hard working people who find the lake a paradise without all the issues of society the Democrats keep provoking!
One matter of fact, I've never seen a flag on any boat supporting Democrats!
Nick Shirley says the reason why California Governor Gavin Newsom and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz are attacking him for exposing fraud is because “They actually rely upon the fraud”
He explains that even if these Democrats don’t personally get the money being sent to these shady organizations back as campaign donations, the money is still being used by nonprofits to support Democrats. These are the organizations who do the work to get Democrats elected
One giant money laundering operation
He says that’s why they are getting so upset by him exposing the fraud in their states
A PERFECT example of this is Gavin Newsom and the nonprofit CHIRLA
- Gavin Newsom sends them tens of millions of dollars
- They organize street protests, demonstration events, even act as a voting center for Democrats
- They also have been exposed as sending some of that money back to Gavin Newsom as campaign donations
It’ll never stop until politicians are held accountable.
I have seen the marginalization of NCOs through out many Corps, Division, Brigade, and Battalion Staff. It always seemed like another, "I'm smarter than you" atmosphere. And at that time, many NCOs when marginalized simply shifted into the shadows for the Officer to micromanage every task. For some reason this attitude seemed predominate in the Heavy Mechanized Units where I expect the ideals of controlling a formation was demanded for effective maneuver.
In the Airborne world where I was raised from a Private, it was honestly the opposite dynamic. First of all we had some of the finest NCOs of our force, but everyone had the concept of Mission Command before the term was ever considered.
The Airborne Officers understood that in the chaos of the Airborne Operation the LGOPS (Little Groups of Paratroopers) regardless of rank would ultimately achieve the mission given they understood clear mission and intent.
It was disheartening to me to know such formidable subordinate NCOs were not be elevated to their full potential! I am definitely not trying to divide NCOs and Officers, but when those cogs of our machine all function with precision our Soldiers flourish with mission accomplishment with the least resources and time! If your Mission Command is working, the staff is really just managing these two essentials; resources and time!
The great and enduring challenge to human civilization is preventing the rise of gatekeepers who capture noble institutions and then make the institution itself more important than the institution’s original mission, thus rendering that institution ignoble.
Historically this has been true in great religions and civilizations, and we unfortunately see it all too clearly in the USA today:
-Unelected federal bureaucrats whose first loyalty is to their agency and not to the agency’s mission or the taxpayers the agency is intended to serve.
-A “free and independent press” that is neither free nor independent, and which instead exists to enrich those who have made it past the gate and are willing to lie for status.
-Sprawling empires of academia who no longer seek knowledge or truth but who now only seek what can advance their careers inside the crumbling edifice of “higher education.”
-Our military has barely escaped this death spiral, as it was on a trajectory of full politicization of the senior ranks via the evil political doctrines of DEI, a cataclysmic decline that has been reversed only by the grace of God and the election of Donald Trump.
-Even for-profit, capitalist endeavors that should rise or fall based on profits alone lose sight when they get too big—consider Bud Light embracing the idea that men can be women if they wish hard enough.
Institutional capture is the great evil of our day, and it is those who most loudly trumpet the virtues of captured institutions who are least to be trusted.
@TimSheehyMT Exceptional speech and effort! Thanks for all you endured in service to our Nation and all you're doing to eliminate the bastards that have terrorized our Nation and fellow service members for years!
For 47 years, American families and brave warfighters - including friends of mine - have been asked to absorb brutal attack after brutal attack by an evil Iranian regime who wants all of us dead.
President Trump is the only president in my lifetime who refuses to kick this problem to another generation of American soldiers. There can be no equivocation with these murderous lunatics. It’s time to finish the job.
O’KEEFE UNDERCOVER: Senior Pentagon Director Caught On Hidden Camera: Spills On A “Gay” Date With O’Keefe That He WILL "Undo Whatever's Been Done [at the Pentagon]" After Trump Leaves Office To Reverse His Agenda…
“I've seen some things. In true D.C. nature, you don't always reveal everything in D.C.”
“I have the influence…., I can undo whatever's been done.”
“I think Trump is a narcissist.”
“Yeah. I think it's [War in Iran] completely stupid, but it's driven on one man’s [President Trump] ego to me, in my own personal opinion.”
“I mean, you [O’Keefe] could be a news reporter.”

What’s happening in America right now regarding the Iran War is giving me sickening flashbacks to 2004.
Democrats didn’t care about the mission accomplishment of the men and women our nation sent downrange to fight in Iraq. They didn’t care that the one and only tool the bad guys in Iraq had was to randomly kill a few Americans every week for the specific and deliberate purpose of breaking the will of the American public. They didn’t actually care about the sacrifices of our war dead and injured.
No, they saw the war as a political cudgel that they could use over and over and over to achieve power, with utter disregard for how their inflammatory behavior emboldened our enemies and helped those same enemies achieve their strategic aims.
The same exact thing is happening now with Iran, with a difference being that soulless, amoral NeverTrumpers have joined the Democrat bandwagon of fulfilling our enemy’s strategic aims.
There is, of course, one other major difference: the mullahs of Iran actively seek the wholesale destruction of the USA and Israel, have a fanatical theological basis for wanting to do so, and nuclear weapons are their quickest path to that goal.
An Iran run by the mullahs with nuclear weapons would be the greatest danger to human society to emerge since the dawn of the nuclear age. Thankfully, our President and his team understand this stark reality, a reality that Democrats/NeverTrumpers ignore, because power is all they can see or value.
