The US military uses the “Continuum of Military Operations” to describe American war-fighting. It has six phases, at least two of which involve kinetic or combat operations. Phase 0: Shape the Environment. This phase involves those joint interagency and multinational activities conducted on an ongoing, routine basis to assure or solidify friendly relationships and alliances…
Incrementalism is how great change is made permanent
April 26, 2016
It’s official: The Saudis are remaking the Middle East. Deputy Crown Prince and Defense Minister Mohammed bin Salman gave his first press conference to foreign journalists, and he confirmed what retired Saudi General Anwar Eshki said at the Council on Foreign Relations on June 4, 2015. The key to successful change is incrementalism. You have…
Winning wars requires that we fight like the Arab League
March 9, 2016
Western powers don’t accept that journalism has transformed itself into advocacy for decay. The old dictum “If it bleeds, it leads” was meant to sell copies of newspapers, attract eyeballs to screens, and bewitch ears with radio stations. Now, journalists are opponents of progress. Rather than report, they choose to be propagandists for malefactors. It’s…
Pentagon confirms Arab League invasion of Syria
March 4, 2016
I love improvement. I love audacious courage. I love selflessness. I love competence. All the signs pointed to it, and now I have the evidence, as provided by the Pentagon: The Arab League has invaded Syria and is in the process of smashing everyone deserving of smashage. First, however, I should mention that March 4,…
Fantasizing belongs in the bedroom, not the newsroom
December 10, 2015
Today I spent several hours trying to find even one news report about the war in Yemen that didn’t slam the Saudi-led Coalition for its “complete disregard for civilian life” and its “indiscriminate air strikes.” Those are lies. Reporters are fantasizing this alleged ongoing series of war crimes. As of today, the fake civilian death…
How media dishonesty benefits us
October 19, 2015
For a variety of reasons, the international press is now dedicated to supporting terrorists. There’s no getting through to these people; I’ve had personal contact with them. They’re truly insane. Unreachable. But media dishonesty can actually benefit the fight against the enemies of civilization. Today on Twitter, I had an exchange with the usual rabid,…
Keep calm and prepare to celebrate
October 6, 2015
I earn my living though investing. My brother Tim manages my accounts. Investing isn’t for everybody, because the market is subject to completely irrational panic-selling. The world, in fact, is in love with fear. My message, on the other hand, is to keep calm. Everything will be fine. People are afraid because of articles like…
The war is saving Yemeni lives
September 28, 2015
Yesterday I wrote a post titled “In Yemen No Evidence is Required.” It’s about how the press and NGOs slander the Saudi-led Coalition fighting Ansar Allah, the Iranian-backed Shi’ite terrorist group also called the Houthis. One such dishonest NGO is Action on Armed Violence (AOAV), which issued the entirely fraudulent report State of Crisis: Explosive…
A letter from a Yemeni
September 8, 2015
This is a letter from a Yemeni. I’ll break it up into segments so that we can better grasp how amazing it is. The letter shows that I was right: “Social-justice warriors” have fallen deeply in love with another group of depraved terrorists. In this case it’s Ansar Allah (“Supporters of God”), the Iran-backed Shi’ite…
