Everyone should study hoplology, the science of combat. A good hoplologist can tell you about the video below. It’s said to show a Russian precision air strike on a tank of the Levant Conquest Front in Aleppo. The reporter is from al Jazeera. What actually happened is that the tank fired its main gun. That’s…
Terrorism always becomes an end in itself. Murder is the goal
July 26, 2016
“Experts” don’t know a thing about terrorism. The conventional wisdom is that poor, angry people take up arms in desperation. Nothing can be further from the truth. In reality, most terrorists simply enjoy exerting power over others. The longer a terrorist organization exists, the more savage it becomes. This proves that the members get jaded….
Antithesis: the exact opposite of something or someone
July 18, 2016
I love the word antithesis. Here’s a perfect example. This video is the antithesis of what you think. No, the fat man did not knock out the other guy. In fact the fat man is lucky that he landed his first punch. Only that blow connected. That’s a “sucker punch”: You catch the target completely…
Fake video of Russian helicopter being shot down
July 9, 2016
The Kremlin says that the Islamic State shot down a helicopter gunship, killing two Russian crewmen. For its part, the Islamic State put out a video showing the helicopter crashing. Both Russia and the Islamic State are lying. The video is fake. Someone created it using computer-generated imagery (CGI). Fake Russian announcement Here’s what the…
Putin was utterly destroyed by the Arab League
June 9, 2016
Last year US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter said that Russia poses an existential threat to our country. What did we do about it? Nothing. What did the Arab League do about it? They handed Vladimir Putin such a thorough military defeat in Syria that the Russians have been reduced to performance art. Putin gets…
Battle of Midway has been won in the Middle East
June 8, 2016
As I get older, I become more impatient. Therefore I’m not actually the right person to be blogging about the great changes in the Middle East. But since nobody else can see what I do, it’s my duty to keep writing. Today was typical in that once again, someone who knows nothing told me that…
PKK video of helicopter shot down is fake
May 19, 2016
I wasn’t going to write about this, but a western fanboy of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party or PKK made me decide to grind his face into his childish gullibility. I’m sick of smug imbeciles attacking me for no reason. Since they have no factual knowledge, they always resort to personal insults. They’re trying to drive…
Smokescreens allow very good things to happen
May 8, 2016
American Jew-haters always ask me, “What do we get for our support of Israel?” I used to give them examples of weapons, and they’d sneer and say, “We can build all of that ourselves.” Well, we were certainly unable to build what Israel has apparently given us. Multiple smokescreens were used to finance and distribute…
Tribalism is the downfall of the west
March 31, 2016
I’m old enough to remember a period during which Americans weren’t belligerent idiots. The cause of our decline is tribalism. Western tribalism is a sort of junk-food version, dumber and more superficial than what you find in so-called backward regions of the world. The blindness of tribalism I knew this was phony the second I…
Good conspiracy theories should be at least slightly plausible
December 23, 2015
Attention hog Seymour Hersh claims that the United States Department of Defense Joint Chiefs of Staff—the highest-ranking bureaucrats in the Pentagon—gave Bashar al-Assad intelligence to help him defeat jihadist terrorists. This isn’t even a good conspiracy theory. Hersh made it all up, as is clear by his claim that his source is a “former senior…
