when down to it, this is all you have;

 

 Respect falls like dust in the wind. Trust shatters like glass under pressure.

But loyalty… is forged in fire—and given only once.

It is not a word for the faint of heart. Not a bargain, not a game, not an empty promise. It is an oath that lasts—or abandons you forever.

The ancient Germanic tribes knew this. For them, loyalty was not a feeling, but a law of blood and honor. A warrior stood by his tribe, by his word, by those who fought beside him—until their last breath bore his name.

Whoever broke this bond lost everything: their place, their honor, their heritage. Death was not the greatest punishment—but being forgotten was.

And today?

Too many speak of loyalty without bearing its weight. Too many demand it without having the courage to live it themselves.

So listen carefully: If you ask for my loyalty, then step forward—with your own in return. Because loyalty isn’t given because you want it. It’s earned… or you’ll go away empty-handed.

As on an old battlefield, it still holds true: Only those who are willing to fall with you will stand by your side..........https://appalachianrenegade.com/2026/05/01/loyalty/

 vietnam since we've now got another war we couldn't avoid, so have some video;

 

 After early domination through Operation Thunder, three years of B52 raids, napalm and Agent Orange drops. In 1968 the Vietcong Tet Offensive turned the tide, the TV war began in full, anti-war demos, the Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy assassinations and My Lai massacre the war was now being shown on the nightly news for the first time.

 most probably this is because it was a nun because this sort of israeli crap is more than frequent; 

 

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM – A video circulating online has documented a violent assault by a settler on a Christian nun in occupied Jerusalem, triggering widespread anger and condemnation.

The nun was injured in the attack, sustaining facial wounds after being assaulted by an extremist settler in the city.

In response, the French Consulate in Jerusalem strongly condemned the incident, calling for the perpetrator to be held accountable. In a statement posted on X, the consulate expressed its wishes for the nun’s speedy recovery and stressed the need to bring the attacker to justice.

The statement came in reaction to remarks by Olivier-Thomas Venard, director of the French Biblical and Archaeological School in Jerusalem, who denounced what he described as an “unprovoked assault.”

Speaking to Agence France-Presse, Venard said the 48-year-old nun, who works as a researcher at the French institution and prefers to remain anonymous, was attacked when an individual forcefully pushed her from behind into a rock, then proceeded to kick her while she was on the ground. …..........more.............

 what is this foolishness? we know that britain is the home of freedom of speech. starmer told us so when meeting with the trump; 

Laws aimed at pro-Palestine protests should always be looked at as efforts to ban criticism of Israel. That’s what we’re seeing in the UK as the prime minister encourages the prosecution of anyone who says “globalise the intifada”.

“If you stand alongside people who say globalise the intifada, you are calling for terrorism against Jews and people who use that phrase should be prosecuted,” said Keir Starmer during a Thursday press conference. “It is racism, extremely racism and it has left a minority community in this country scared, intimidated, wondering if they belong. So, I say again this government will do everything in our power to stamp this hatred out.”

The UK has already banned any expression of support for the activist group Palestine Action, and recently passed a ban on repeat protests, and has already arrested demonstrators for using of the word “intifada” in their pro-Palestine activism on the basis of “racially aggravated public order offences.” And now the prime minister wants them all to be prosecuted with increased aggression.

This is all a thinly-disguised effort to throw a chilling effect over the entire pro-Palestine protest movement. The goal is to just keep adding more and more protest laws until nobody’s willing to attend a pro-Palestine demonstration without a lawyer present to advise them on exactly what they may and may not say if they want to avoid being sent to prison...........more..........

 the israeli cops arrest this 'brave' citizen after he attacked a nun but it happens regularly and the only reason he was arrested is because it was big and caught on camera; 

 

Israeli cops have arrested the Jewish extremist suspected of attacking a Catholic nun in Jerusalem on Tuesday.

The victim, who toils at the French Biblical and Archaeological School of Jerusalem, isn’t identified, but the suspect in the brutal wilding, X reports say, is Yonah Schreiber.

Israeli cops say they won’t tolerate anti-Christian harassment or violence, but the Religious Freedom Data Center avers that attacks like that on the nun are common, and last year numbered 181. So far this year, the center has recorded more than three dozen such attacks............more.........

 larry johnson on the blockade; 

 

Pete Hegseth is lying about the US blockade of Iranian ports. On April 12, after JD Vance announced that talks with Iran had failed, Trump declared a naval blockade of Iranian ports and coastal areas. CENTCOM clarified that the blockade would be enforced against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports, but would not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports.

Now, after more than two weeks, Pete Hegseth has been saying the US blockade is working and getting stronger, describing it as “ironclad,” “tightening by the hour,” and even “going global.” He said the Navy had turned back 34 ships, that transit through the Strait of Hormuz is now “much more limited,” and that the blockade will last “as long as it takes.”

He also framed the blockade as coercive leverage on Iran, saying it is meant to cut off shipping pressure until Tehran abandons its nuclear ambitions. In the same remarks, he warned the U.S. would “shoot to destroy” any Iranian boats laying mines or otherwise threatening commercial shipping.

Here’s what the available data tells us about Strait of Hormuz transits since April 15:

Daily volumes (around April 15): On April 15 alone, there were 19 transits — 5 inbound and 14 outbound — according to Windward. Around that same period, April 11 saw 17 transits, April 12 saw 21, and April 13 saw 17. United Against Nuclear IranWindward

Overall picture since April 15: A precise cumulative total from April 15 through today (April 30) isn’t publicly available in a single figure, but based on the data points above, daily transits have been running roughly in the range of 6–21 ships per day. Recent data from Windward and AIS trackers confirm persistent low volumes of 6–13 vessels daily............more..........
