The Germans invented the gunship in World War I. This armored aircraft had machine guns mounted to fire downward at a 45-degree angle. Gunships flew along trenches at treetop level, all six machine guns pouring fire on the men below. During the Vietnam War, the Americans created the AC-47. The circular orbit or pylon turn…
Stealth is not a violation of international humanitarian law
June 24, 2016
When Operation Iraqi Freedom began, I sat in front of my television for three weeks, watching the war in real time. I thought that it was a good idea to embed journalists with the troops so that the world could see that the US was not committing atrocities. Well, I was wrong. The Arab League…
Muse: inspiration, creative influence, stimulus
May 6, 2016
A muse is what motivates you to create. In Greek mythology, the Muses were the goddesses of inspiration in literature, science, and the arts. They were the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne. Hesiod wrote that there were nine Muses. Calliope – epic poetry, symbolized by a writing tablet Clio – history, symbolized by a scroll…
Performance art wins the war in Syria
April 18, 2016
Nobody will ever be able to write the history of the Syrian civil war. Too much of it is performance art that’s necessary to avoid the mistakes of every single western power that has fought in the Middle East. The performers putting on the show can’t take a bow, which is a shame. They’re absolutely…
Weapon descriptions for Colonel Richard Kemp
March 29, 2016

Pragmatism has triumphed over nationalism
January 11, 2016
Having stepped out of society, I’m able to perceive things that others can’t. It’s not that I’m smarter than anyone; instead, I’m simply unencumbered by fear of rejection. If I’m wrong, it doesn’t matter. Ridicule means nothing to me. What I enjoy most of all—after talking with my brothers Tim and Eric and collecting World…
New Middle East in one photo. I was 100 percent correct
January 1, 2016
I hate the people who I call “gore crows.” They can’t wait to tell you bad news. It’s a form of sadism. And to be honest, I no longer have patience for those addicted to fear and negativity. The new Middle East arrived in late 2008, and now it’s revealing itself. When I say, “Everything…
Avoiding the mistakes that western powers made in the Middle East
December 28, 2015
I urge everyone to take some time and watch videos put out by the Syrian Democratic Forces (QSD). Although the QSD are fighters, they’re also a political movement that was created in the hopes of avoiding the many blunders that the West has committed in the Middle East since forever. It appears that the greatest…
