Well-meaning people direct the close minded to my blog. The usual response is, “It’s just a bunch of conspiracy theories.” No. I write about machinations, not conspiracies. Here’s the difference. Conspiracy: a secret plan that two or more people hatch in order to do something harmful or illegal. Machination: a complicated secret plan. Guess who…
Comparison: self-defense and intent to murder
July 5, 2016
Words have meanings. Every single time that an Israeli soldier kills a Palestinian, the world screams “MURDER!” I support Israel, AND I support Saudi Arabia and Iraq. All three nations are doing incredible work to improve the Middle East. Therefore I don’t criticize these countries publicly. Others can do that. However, it’s time to make…
Hidebound is another word that everyone should know
July 3, 2016
The reason that I’m a hermit is that most people are far too repulsive and belligerent for me to allow in my life. This is especially true in my main field of interest. Military buffs tend to be aggressively ignorant and hidebound. Because I don’t think like them, they’ve begun the fifth large-scale round of…
Psychopaths are reporting the news from Iraq
July 2, 2016
I learned in 2014 that most western journalists are psychopaths, meaning they lack a conscience and have antisocial tendencies. The current depraved version of events in Iraq is a perfect example of what these creatures produce. This is an attempt to once again both denigrate those fighting for freedom and inflate the capabilities of the…
Doomsday deferred at almost the last minute
June 30, 2016
“Doomsday Deferred” is brilliant short story from 1949. Author Will F. Jenkins (real name Murray Leinster) writes of a butterfly collector who goes to Brazil to find an especially rare specimen. When a peasant hands over thousands of cocoons and says “his friends” found them, the collector becomes suspicious. It turns out that the Brazilian…
Iran is directly arming the Islamic State
June 29, 2016
“Idée fixe” is a term that everybody should know. It means a viewpoint that will never change. One such idée fixe is that terrorist groups with opposing ideologies will never work together. This is false. Because they have converging interests, terrorists engage in “coopetition” or “cooperative competition.” I knew that Iran supported the Islamic State….
Rules of engagement must be changed to defeat terrorism
June 28, 2016
Terrorists attacked Istanbul Attatürk Airport today, using assault rifles and suicide bombs to kill at least thirty-six people. Dozens more are wounded. A troubling video emerged: Despite the decades of violence, it seems that too many security forces still don’t react efficiently. The world must adopt new rules of engagement that allow security forces to…
Secrets and lies define the wars in the Middle East
June 25, 2016
When I write my posts, I’m careful to not explain too much. I talk about good news from open sources. Also, the people I mention can always say, “He’s completely insane.” I’m not disclosing secrets that the enemy can use. Believe me, the Islamic State, al-Qaeda, and Hezbollah are fully aware of what’s happening to…
American response versus Arab League response to attacks
June 23, 2016
In Syria, Russia decided to once again test so-called American resolve. On June 16, 2016, Russian aircraft dropped cluster munitions on US-backed rebels in al-Tanf. The bombers were the Su-34 Fullback. To protect the rebels, the US scrambled two F/A-18 Super Hornet fighters from an aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean. The US pilots contacted the…
