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…
Adrift no longer. Without even knowing it, I arrived
December 17, 2015
I never knew what to do with my life. In very real ways, I never had a life. Some forms of trauma are impossible to “get over.” The closest I came to having a career was the ten years I spent as a music journalist in Los Angeles. It didn’t pay anything, but my parents…
Quiet professionals save us while we disgrace ourselves
December 14, 2015
The British have described the operation to kill Mohammed Emwazi, the Islamic State terrorist known as Jihadi John. This level of openness is unusual; special-operations units tend to be very quiet. The reason we’re hearing about this is twofold: psychological warfare, and also the Islamic State is under ferocious assault. It likely won’t be around…
Crankiness is making it harder for me to tolerate…everything
December 8, 2015
I know I should be able to distance myself from the avalanche of transparent lies that slams into me daily. The reason I can’t is that it plays on my worst paranoia, that everyone on the planet has been body snatched. This frustration-and-horror-induced crankiness is getting worse with age. My brother Tim and I are…
Immoral mutants who think words are as bad as murder
December 6, 2015
How immoral has American political culture become? Well, it equates words with mass murder. Actually, our political culture sees words as worse than mass murder. Look no further than this incredible op-ed. San Bernardino bloodbath born of bigots They were two hate-filled, bigoted municipal employees interacting in one department. Now 13 innocent people are dead…
More evidence that I’m doing what I was meant to do
November 22, 2015
Living for fifty-three years has been incredibly hard. In a lot of ways I never had a life, since my formative experiences robbed me of the ability to have relationships. Last night I had a dream in which God gave me a photo album of the life I should’ve had. I saw photos of myself…
The French confirm that they’re serious this time
November 20, 2015
The French have struck again. First it was in Paris, and now it’s Mali, where Islamic State terrorists took 170 hostages at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Bamako. American, Malian, and French special forces freed the hostages and killed the terrorists. It isn’t clear how many hostages died. It may be as many as twenty-seven….
Survivor confirms that Paris terrorists had no training
November 19, 2015
A man who survived the Islamic State attack on the Bataclan theater, November 13, 2015, has confirmed that the terrorists had absolutely no training. I was a little surprised, because I found them quite disorganised. They improvised a lot. This comes after the release of CCTV footage that shows terrorist Salah Abdeslam firing thirty rounds…
Everything you’re hearing is wrong
November 17, 2015
Most of what I post is based on conjecture. However, I’ve studied military matters—specifically weapons, munitions, tactics, and strategies—for forty years. Therefore I make guesses that are generally proven correct. The best armed forces in the world don’t advertise their capabilities or operations, so nobody is confirming anything to me. But I can tell you…
