larry johnson speaks about current events in our various wars including a video on the subject;

To explain the dire plight confronting Ukraine, I will plagiarize James Carville’s slogan from Clinton’s 1992 Presidential Run — It is the training, stupid. As someone who trains instructors and average citizens on how to properly and safely use a firearm, I know that the best way to learn is by doing. But learning involves more than just acquiring knowledge, you must be able to apply that knowledge while under great stress. The same applies to military training.

I believe one of the major contributing factors to the dramatic increase in Ukrainian casualties is the lack of trained personnel. In sharp contrast to the Russian approach, the Ukrainians are grabbing guys off the streets, shoving them into vans, hauling them to a collection point where they are issued essential military equipment and then sending them to the front. Ukraine is circumventing the normal process of conducting at least three-months of basic training, followed by an additional three to six-months of advanced individual training — e.g., learning how to operate an artillery piece, a drone or a tank. Once that training is complete, the new soldier is still green, inexperienced. Ukraine is not doing that for its new recruits.

Once a newbie arrives at the front — in an ideal world — he would be surrounded by grizzled veterans, seasoned non-commissioned officers (NCOs) who would show the new guy how to stay alive on the battlefield. But that is not happening for the Ukrainians. Most of their seasoned NCOs are dead or wounded and their places have been filled with inexperienced sergeants, who also have little formal training. While there are some exceptions, I am talking about the majority.

The Ukrainian soldiers now fighting who have had some formal training are also at a disadvantage because the training has not been uniform. Some have been trained in Poland, some in Romania, some in Germany and some in the United Kingdom. That is the problem. While all the countries are NATO members, there is no guarantee of standardized training. Each country has a tendency to do things their on way..........more.........

A Vote for Kamala Is a Vote for Tyranny

When We Lose the Constitution, We Lose America

Paul Craig Roberts

It is clear that large numbers of Americans have no conception of what is at stake in the November presidential election. Insouciance, being an American trait, is especially high this Labor Day Weekend. Probably few heard Kamala Harris say on August 30 in this video — https://x.com/ClownWorld_/status/1829652525315944693 — in what seems to be an interview at a CNN event that free speech, guaranteed by the First Amendment of the US Constitution, is impermissible without oversight and regulation and has to stop.

Yes, she said that, and in the same 28 seconds said a number of other unbelievably stupid things that demonstrate her incapacity to serve in any political office even at the lowest level.

For example, Kamala said “he (Musk) has lost his privileges and it (X) must be taken down.” Kamala is saying that free speech, the bedrock foundation of American freedom is a privilege granted by government, and by refusing to accept government censorship of free speech, Musk has lost his “privilege” to operate a social media company, which “must be taken down.”

For example, “the bottom line is that you can’t say you have one rule for Facebook and a different rule for Twitter” (she means X). There is no such rule. What she is saying is that Facebook’s cowardly or woke management has agreed to censor in order to protect the lies that constitute the official narratives, and Elon Musk, being a person of character and integrity, has not. Kamala Harris is so totally ignorant and so totally uneducated that she is unaware that the US Constitution governs the US government. She thinks our Constitutional rights are subject to regulation by government in order to conform us to official narratives..........more.......

“On many subjects important to public life today, vast numbers of people know the truth, and yet the official channels of information sharing are reluctant to admit it.” — Jeffrey Tucker

You might wonder, as I do, whether Kamala Harris can even stay in the race until November 5. Based on her grim appearance in last week’s “interview” with Dana Bash, slumped at the table of a crummy Georgia café under poor lighting, her trademark cackle suppressed, she looked psychologically wilted. Don’t be surprised if late this week she “catches Covid” and asks to “postpone” the September 10 debate with Mr. Trump.

     Consider the depressing reality of her situation, lately cloaked by the farcical “joy” motif put out by her party’s campaign spin doctors: First, the cabal running the White House bum-rushed “Joe Biden” out of the campaign, just hooked him offstage like a broke-down vaudevillian annoying the audience with his tired antics. Then, the same gang buffaloed Kamala onto center stage by some mystical process that disregarded her lack of preparation, her proven unpopularity in the 2020 primaries, and her near-invisibility in 3.5 years as veep.

      For a couple of weeks her head must have been spinning with sheer intoxication at the amazing turn of events. Who wouldn’t be amazed to find him or herself unexpectedly selected to run for president? But now, post the artificial hoopla of the convention, the dread steals in. If she was previously used to self-medicating with chardonnay during the irksome veep years, imagine the pressure now on those campaign bus trips.

      She has a lot to be afraid of. She’s not nimble of mind in the spotlight, and she knows it. When she tries to riff on anything off-the-cuff, all that comes out are laughable tautologies. She really doesn’t know much about the world, even about simple geography, certainly not the complex interplay of national interests. Her economic notions are a kind of Frappuccino® of processed Marxian sludge from the Berkeley cafés. If exposed regularly to even friendly reporters, she’d ignite howling embarrassment for herself (and the party). And, after all, there’s her record, including hundreds of videos on the Internet showing plainly the crazy policies she supports and now has to pretend to dissociate from......more........

years ago i heard people say that 'our free press' was biased. i didn't see it though it was in plain sight. now days i see at least some of the bias and this post clearly displays the difference. we have a librul media and our world is shaped because of it; 

Video that’s gone viral online highlights the alarmingly favorable bias of the legacy media, specifically CNN, toward Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat’s 2024 presidential nominee.

The video, which was cut by The Washington Free Beacon, splices together clips from two interviews conducted by CNN’s Dana Bash: one of Bash interviewing Harris and Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), and the other with Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), the GOP’s VP nominee.

“Watch this video and see if you can spot the difference between how CNN treated [JD Vance] versus how they treated Kamala and Walz,” GOP strategist Andrew Surabian commented. “How can any honest journalist defend this?”.........more........

some of the empire's gulag, political prisoners, speak out here and its quite pertinent, will probably not get much traction and will be a source of comment when we're in the pokey together, along the lines of the famous solzinitizen quote i paraphrase here: how we burned in the camps at night realizing if we had made them pay a price for our arrest there may have been fewer of them; 

J6 political prisoners Jonathan Mellis and co-Host David Dempsey have released a new episode of the “We Are Good Men” podcast from directly inside the DC Gulag.

The new episode features J6 political prisoner Marc Bru.

During an interesting and informative interview, Marc discusses how he fought his case pro se and caused uproar in the courtroom.

Co-host Jonathan Mellis is one of several January 6 defendants who witnessed Officer Lila Morris brutally beat Roseanne Boyland’s unconscious body and attempted to stop police from brutally beating demonstrators.

The government attorneys fabricated instances of Mellis assaulting cops with whom he had never interacted during his sentencing hearing.

David Dempsey is a young father who was ripped from his family in the early morning hours by a counter-terrorism task force armed to the teeth. He was ripped so hard from his daughter’s and wife’s grasp that his wife was left with bruising to her ribs from being hit with the barrel of a gun to scare her and move her away.

During his time in the gulag,  he has been exposed to multiple different diseases in high concentration, and his chronic conditions,  kidney stones, IBS, and chrons disease, have not been properly treated.

We Are Good Men lets J6 political prisoners tell their stories in their own words.

The intro to the podcast shares:.......more.......
