I want to tell you a story about a “journalist.”
I’m pretty sure the journalist in question was Scott Pelley, but for reasons I am about to explain I can’t be 100% sure—I just know it was a major US TV reporter.
August, 2003.
I was the G-4 of the 82nd Airborne Division. The IED threat had just become a real thing in Iraq and the 82nd—having just returned from Iraq—was sent back to the fight.
The “Division Support Area” was earmarked for a place called al Taqaddum, or “TQ.” I led the advance party to occupy the site (we drove from Kuwait). TQ was a huge area on a high bluff, west of Fallujah, and had a cratered Iraqi Air Force airfield. Later in the war it was a plush site with a PX and restaurants, but when I occupied it, it was nothing but a bunch of abandoned buildings, hulks of old Iraqi fighting vehicles blocking the runway, nightly rocket and mortar attacks, and constant probing of the huge perimeter by insurgents.
The IED threat was happening because insurgents were pulling artillery rounds out of abandoned Iraqi army ammunition supply points and turning them into roadside bombs.
We had been on TQ about one full day when the front gate called me on the radio: “All American 4, we have some TV reporters here, they want to come in, what should I do, over?”
After telling the gate to check IDs and do a sweep of their vehicle, I said: “Send them to me, over.”
A few minutes later an armored Mercedes pulls up to our TOC. The “talent” is in the very back where I could barely see him, but I’m pretty sure it was Scott Pelley. (Pelley was definitely in Iraq at the time, I checked.)
His producer gets out from the air-conditioned Mercedes plushness and pulls out a map. He arrogantly points to an Iraqi ammo supply point between TQ and Ramadi and demands: “I need you to escort us to this location.”
(They wanted to do a story with reporter speaking against a backdrop of an ammo supply point, because that’s where the IEDs were coming from.)
“NEED? I’m sorry sir, that site is not secured and I am not putting my paratroopers at risk for your story.”
Big disappointment and head shaking. I’m thinking: “The NERVE of this guy. Does he think I work for him?”
He then asks: “Well what will happen if we go by ourselves?”
My response: “You’ll probably die.”
(Important background: TQ also had a giant Iraqi ammo supply point that was inside the wire but we had not cleared it yet—it could have been booby-trapped, we just did not know at the time.)
He points at the map again: “Well how about the ammunition right here? We can just drive over there, right?”
“No sir, you cannot. We have not cleared that site.”
By this time he was visibly angry, he had a chat with the talent in the back, and then they all got back in and left without even saying thank you or good bye.
(Important point: the ammo on TQ he wanted to use as a backdrop for his “story" was SECURED from Iraqis grabbing any of it, yet they wanted to use that as a backdrop for a story on Iraqis grabbing ammo.)
The point of this story is this: those “journalists” were incredibly arrogant, incredibly dismissive of anyone in uniform with dirty boots, and basically oozed a sense of entitlement as if they were on some sort of noble mission, when in reality their mission was to smear the effectiveness of our operations because Bushitler.
When you hear Scott Pelley talk, oozing with arrogance over his “combat” experience, remember that he is of a breed that all think and act alike. To those "journalists," we were not American fighting men and women in combat. No, we were there for their convenience. It sickened me, and still does.
You think you hate journalists enough...
Scott Pelley says Bari Weiss asked 60 Minutes staffers: “Why do you think the country thinks you’re biased?"
Pelley: "Why do you think so? Do you have a poll? Is there market research? What are you talking about?"
"Because we certainly didn't believe that."
Incredible.
Rodney King, OJ, Michael Brown, George Floyd, Karmelo Anthony. My entire life I have watched black activists rally around the most dysfunctional, degenerate, morally repugnant parasites imaginable. Celebrating and defending the absolute worst of the worst. People who contribute nothing to society. When’s the last time an actual virtuous and heroic black man won popular support in his own community? It seems that kind of black man is more likely to be shunned than celebrated.

Dear LGBTQ+ People:
We don’t care who you love.
We don’t care what you do to your own body.
We don’t care what you do in private with other consenting adults.
We really don’t care. (And I would protect with my life your right to not care what I think and my right to not care what you think.)
I think I speak for most conservative Christians when I say all that.
What we DO care about is when you endlessly try to shove your lifestyle down our throats and when you try to convince children to join your lifestyle, against their parents’ wishes. Further, we DO care when you require us to accept things that our faith says are sins as not being sinful.
That’s for each of us to decide, and not you.
This is why conservative Christians despise the fact that you attempt to take an entire calendar month to shove your lifestyle down our throats. Live and let live, we say. But you cannot accept that.
It is YOU who are intolerant.
I know not all LGBTQ+ people think this way, but to those who do: KEEP IT PRIVATE BECAUSE WE DON’T CARE.
Love and Peace,
Conservative Christians Everywhere
A civilization that could carve this into a door treated beauty as a public duty.
Stand before the door of Duomo di Milano long enough, and the modern world begins to look painfully soulless.
CNN fired me for telling the truth about Charlottesville.
New indictments further incriminate the corrupt SPLC, a leftist group that financed and organized the underlying staged event.
A lie stacked upon a deceit…

This is justice in a blue state (New York).
State Trooper Christopher Baldner pulls over a family SUV for speeding on the Thruway.
Driver Tristin Goods refuses to show ID and escalates the stop. Trooper uses pepper spray.
Driver floors it and flees at high speed.
Trooper follows training and uses pit maneuver to ram the vehicle and stop the threat.
The SUV crashes. Goods’ own 11-year-old daughter Monica is tragically killed.
Result?
Trooper Baldner was just sentenced to ~7 years in prison for manslaughter.
The father - who caused the deadly chase - walks free after claiming he was “scared for his life.”
@visegrad24@cdrsalamander Meanwhile, we mostly protest for black criminals who kill innocent people for no reason or get killed by police while trying to kill them.
The Native people of the UK deserve to have their homeland back. We must respect indigenous culture and identity, and acknowledge the deep and enduring connection that the Native communities of the UK maintain with their ancestral homeland, affirming and honoring their rights and heritage. We must support decolonization efforts and acknowledge the historical harms inflicted on the Native peoples of the UK and the broader indigenous community all across Western Europe and the entire Anglosphere.
So much of the commentary on this horrific act, and the evil response of law enforcement, has focused on the race of Henry Nowak: he’s white, and his assailant is not, and as a result, the authorities coddled the murderous Indian immigrant and punished the innocent white victim. Obviously this is anti-white racism, right?
Yes, but I think it is worse than that. Because skin color here is being used as a proxy. The actual target here, and the reason for the global demonization of white people in every thriving and successful civilization they have stood, is the deliberate dispossession of any and all systems and societies that have western European Christianity as their foundation.
On the surface, it appears to be racially driven, and for most of the people committing the actual violence, it may well be. If Henry Nowak weren’t white, he wouldn’t have been stabbed, he wouldn’t have been cuffed, and his killer wouldn’t have been treated with kid gloves. But the forces driving third-world immigration into the West don’t care about skin color nearly as much as they care about destroying the Christian foundation of modern society. The communists tried this with class, and it didn’t work, so now they’re weaponizing race on behalf of the revolution instead.
When they whine about “colonization” by countries like England, France, Spain, and Portugal, what they actually hate is the spread of Christianity. Africa, South Asia, South America, North America, you name it. As the West spread, so did Christianity.
Never mind that the men who conquered the baby-sacrificing savages of Latin America were Spanish. Ignore that the Portuguese civilized large
swaths of Africa. They’re “white” according to the race revolutionaries.
Did you think it was an accident that France and England and Spain and America have all been similarly targeted for replacement, displacement, and destruction via immigration? It’s not because they’re “white.” It’s because of the values that each great empire held that made them great.
A thief looks at productive land or a productive business and believes he is entitled to its fruits, paying no attention to what is required to produce them. So he raises any army by fomenting resentment, and he takes over Rhodesia. He takes over South Africa. And once fertile and lush civilizations are destroyed seemingly overnight, much to the confusion of the revolutionary. Like the locust, which can only devour, the revolutionary destroys the land and is left to rule over the wasteland.
Having lost any sense of identity or will to defend itself, England is circling the drain. The Christianity of the Brits launched a global empire, and eventually birthed the greatest nation in all of history. And having discarded that which made it great, with no seeming desire to return to its roots, England will fail. So will France. And Germany. And the rest of the West.
They will be ruled by pagan savages and descend into death and chaos and misery. But it won’t be because of “anti-white racism,” even though that racism is real, deadly, and spreading. It will be because the great modern civilizations are monuments to the power of Christian belief, Christian morality, and Christian fortitude. These great nations have been dubbed as “white” because that makes them an easier target to destroy given the madness of the modern age. But “whiteness” here is not the ultimate target. Christianity is.
