An effective Military Must Put Hets, Homos And Anything In-Between Back into The Closet
[Hard Truth] In Sweden the military rally beneath the LGBTQ flag, saying this they will defend. But their primary purpose is to defend their borders and their people but they refuse to do that. WHY is the western military so emasculated? Might it be the feminine touch?

#1  The old saying was "There are no atheists in foxholes." These days an atheist is probably the least of a grunt's worries about the guy person individual next to him.

#3  /\ Segregation is the desired end state, the urban tribal reality.

Evy Poumpouras, Becoming Bulletproof, page 201.

"We're all deeply enfluenced by the people around us. We pick up habits from others, kntone and pitch, inflection and pacing. When I spend time with my mom, I notcie myself adopting certain parts of her speech patterns. It's entirely instinctive, and something that my husband always points out to me. But we all do this fromtime to time. If you have colleagues you want to impress, you pick up some of their speech patters. Or you might adopt the vocal mannerisms of your friends."

Africa Subsaharan
When Cops Run Out of Ammo (video)
When lawless mobs impulsively loot, commit arson, and kill the innocent, police can often restore order only with lethal force. But when cops run out of ammunition, what happens to social order at that point? The current situation in South Africa provides a real-world example.

Cannibal Island


by Andrei Filimonov and Robert Coalson

[RFERL] TOMSK, Russia – Every year, a small group of locals travels the 550 kilometers northwest from this Siberian city to Nazinsky Island, in the middle of the Ob River, to place a wreath at the foot of a wooden cross. It is a gesture of remembrance for the victims of the horrific events that unfolded there in the summer of 1933.

I wonder if the NEA would teach the such facts regarding the brutal, murderous inhuman nature of Communism and Dictatorship controlled Socialism.

China-Japan-Koreas
Gordon Chang Predicts the End of the Chi Com Regime (again)
[19fortyfive] The Delta variant is spreading across the country fast, and Beijing has no answer to the new strain other than draconian, totalitarian brute-force measures and blaming foreigners.

Millions of Chinese residents are now in various forms of lockdown. The recent infections constitute the most widespread coronavirus outbreak since the disease first hit China, sometime in late 2019.

The new flare-up, which quickly slipped beyond the control of the authorities, is undermining core Communist Party propaganda narratives....China's rulers have run out of options when it comes to the uncontrolled and perhaps uncontrollable spread of the newest variant of COVID-19.

Is their fate now in the hands of a virus named "Delta"?
Chang, who works for a Wall Street Legal outfit, authored a book about the coming collapse of China in 2001 during the Dot Com bust. He also predicted the collapse of China several other times between then and now.

USN Seaman Mays: I like the smell of napalm in the morning
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

See the link for the referenced graphic.

By Boris Rozhin

[ColonelCassad] This is Ryan Sawyer Mays. He posted this photo with the caption "I like the smell of napalm in the morning" on June 14, 2020.

But, of course, he became famous not for this photograph, but for the fact that, according to the investigation, it was he who organized the arson on the "Bonhomme Richard" helicopter carrier, which is now being sawed for metal in Texas. This photo was taken a month before the fire on July 13.

The case file contains testimony from colleagues that Mace expressed disdain for the authorities and the US military. Allegedly, Mace was dissatisfied with the fact that he wanted to become a "SEAL" and participate in underwater operations, but turned out to be an ordinary sailor on a helicopter carrier.
he failed out of BUD/S, with an "injury"
One of the witnesses saw Mace going down to the deck, where the fire broke out 5 minutes before it started. "But I did not see it in person, but identified it by its height and complexion."

It is also reported that the arson was organized on one of the lower decks - a container with petroleum distillate and various rags were used to organize the fire, while the fire-fighting equipment on the deck was disabled in advance.

An important detail, 2 days before the fire, an inspection of the fire-fighting equipment was carried out on the ship, but the senior officers were sure that it was almost unbelievable that the extinguishing equipment had not been tested on the desired deck.

However, on the day of the fire, they did not work. There was either profanity during the check, or they were put out of action in the period after the check and before the fire.

As a result, the ship was decommissioned, and the total damage caused to the US Navy was more than $ 1 billion. Mace is charged with aggravated arson. Mace himself denies any involvement in the arson. So for now, let's wait to declare Mace a prisoner of conscience.

In any case, whoever started the fire dealt a serious blow to the American military. This is apparently the most catastrophic case of deliberate arson of a large warship, which led to its destruction.

"I love the smell of burning aviation fuel spilling over the deck of the Bonom Richard helicopter carrier. It's the smell of victory."

I wonder how soon idiots will appear who will declare the negative impact of "Apocalypse Now" and demand to ban it for "

#1  "There was either profanity during the check"
I can easily say that if there was a navy cheif present then there was profanity.
