the not ready for prime time pentagon delivers one more time, or not;

US Navy oiler USNS Big Horn ran aground yesterday, leaving the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Group without it’s primary fuel source. The Navy doesn’t have a spare oiler to deploy and is now scrambling to find a commercial tanker.

Karl Denninger comments on the naval foul-up:

We have only one oiler — vessels that carry fuel for things like, oh, aircraft — available where that ship is. ONE, and it just went hard aground and apparently, from that video, ripped up the rudder post mount quite nicely, shearing off several bolts.

How much damage was done to the underwater gear? I don’t think anyone knows yet but it clearly is leaking so the answer isn’t “none.” Whether that damage impacts its mobility (e.g. rudder jammed or the screw damaged) is an open question, but its not going anywhere while hard aground — that much I can assure you.

How “capable” is our allegedly “great” military of doing its job right now? You know, actual fighting in a lethal combat situation where the other side can shoot back?

How many of our “officers” running said vessels and other assets are not competent to do the job under pressure when they ground ships (or, as we’ve previously seen, run them into other vessels) when nobody is shooting at them?

How many of said “officers” were promoted because of their blue hair, what they have between their legs and/or pronouns rather than because they were the person who was most competent to take that command irrespective of any of that horseshit?

You better pray we don’t find out the hard way; not only may thousands of our troops die but you may glow in the dark...........more.......

 jake reveals his true nature;

Jake Tapper, an anchor with CNN, asserted on Thursday that Hamas “murdered thousands of civilians” on 7 October.

This is a lie.

In fact, contradicting Tapper’s propaganda, approximately 1,200 Israelis were killed that day, over 300 of them soldiers and police officers, as The New York Times noted in a correction I suggested to the newspaper of record last year.

Some Israelis were even killed by the Israeli military that day, though CNN anchor Erin Burnett shockingly failed to ask eyewitness Yasmin Porat about this reality or, if she did, failed to include that segment in her report.

CNN, in contrast to The New York Times, never corrected any of the lies about casualties from anchor Dana Bash I pointed out to them.

Abby Phillip interviewed an Israeli settler from the West Bank whose mother was killed on 7 October. That settler, Betzalel Taljah, declared war on Palestinian civilians during his interview with Phillip.

Neither Phillip nor Wolf Blitzer, who interviewed Taljah two days later, followed up with a question about the ethics and legality of a war on civilians. Taljah later expressed genocidal views regarding Gaza on Facebook........more......

 so many public officials aren't obeying the letter or spirit of many of our laws;

Secretary of State Antony Blinken buried two government assessments finding that Israel was deliberately blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza in order to keep weapons flowing to the Jewish state in violation of US law.

From ProPublica, "Israel Deliberately Blocked Humanitarian Aid to Gaza, Two Government Bodies Concluded. Antony Blinken Rejected Them.":

The U.S. government's two foremost authorities on humanitarian assistance concluded this spring that Israel had deliberately blocked deliveries of food and medicine into Gaza.

The U.S. Agency for International Development delivered its assessment to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the State Department's refugees bureau made its stance known to top diplomats in late April. Their conclusion was explosive because U.S. law requires the government to cut off weapons shipments to countries that prevent the delivery of U.S.-backed humanitarian aid. Israel has been largely dependent on American bombs and other weapons in Gaza since Hamas' Oct. 7 attacks.

But Blinken and the administration of President Joe Biden did not accept either finding. Days later, on May 10, Blinken delivered a carefully worded statement to Congress that said, "We do not currently assess that the Israeli government is prohibiting or otherwise restricting the transport or delivery of U.S. humanitarian assistance."......more......

pcr tells you about some potentially nuclear times;

 This Week the Most Momentous Decision of Our Time Will Be Made

Paul Craig Roberts

With the US government–State Department, Treasury, Homeland Security, and Justice (sic)–in the hands of Zionist Jews, only the Pentagon speaks for Americans. So far the Pentagon has refused to approve the firing of missiles into Russia.

Zelensky whose “democratic” credentials are shattered by him continuing in office without reelection after his term has expired, is coming to Washington this week to plead with the White House for missile strikes into Russia.

Will the Pentagon be present at the meeting? If so, has the officer ranks been so purged and depleted by wokeism that it cannot take a firm stand?

Putin has stated that missiles fired into Russia means the US and Europe are at war with Russia.

Are Americans aware that this momentous decision is being made this week, and if not, then the following week? The British Prime Minister has already agreed. The sole holdout is the Pentagon.

Likely, the impending Florida hurricane will divert the news from this momentous decision.

We could simultaneously be presented with the outbreak of war in the Middle East. Israel, having eliminated many of the leaders of Hezbollah, is intensifying its strikes on Lebanon, which is more or less under Iran’s protection. According to reports, the US 101st Airborne Division has been deployed to Israel. If the reports are correct, it appears that the US is prepared to enter the war on Israel’s side. Putin has indicated that Iran is under Russia’s protection..

We are very close to nuclear Armageddon. And insouciance rules while Zionists take us to war and destruction.........https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2024/09/25/this-week-the-most-momentous-decision-of-our-time-will-be-made/
