Cavemen don’t win wars. They make threats and then die

I’m not able to tell you when or how Israel will take action against her enemies. The Arab League completely flummoxed me with its military brilliance; therefore I gave up trying to figure out what was going to happen next. I think Israel was waiting for everyone arrayed against her to become cavemen. That moment…

Posturing staves off disaster in the Middle East

One of the reasons that westerners can’t solve the problems in the Middle East is that we can’t distinguish between genuine threats and posturing. I admit that I myself have this deficit. It’s not possible for me to tell what’s real and what’s a performance. However, Middle Easterners understand what’s actually going on. There’s always…

Believe nothing you’re hearing about Syria

Let me reiterate: Everything I say in my posts is speculation based almost entirely on knowledge of munitions, weapons, military training, and the ways in which armed forces fight. You don’t have to believe a word I write. On the other hand, I recommend that you also not believe a word that you’re hearing from…

Tishreen Dam was taken in a ferocious battle

With each passing day, I’m more impressed by the ability of the Syrian Democratic Forces (QSD) and the Arab League to conceal what they’re doing in Syria. My little blog posts won’t change anything, because the plausible deniability is perfect. Operations security (OPSEC) is perfect. If I thought I were endangering anything, I wouldn’t do…

Choose: one cookie now, or two cookies later

As children, our brains go through specific stages of development. One of the experiments used to demonstrate this growth is to ask toddlers if they want one cookie now or two cookies in five minutes. Kids of a certain age are incapable of grasping the notion that if they just wait, their reward will be…

Jews and Arabs united are impossible to defeat in battle

And you thought I was crazy! In July of 2015, I became convinced that Israel and the Arab League had made peace at the end of 2008. I based my supposition on Israeli arms sales to Arab nations that began in 2009. Israel sold incredibly advanced technology to countries that don’t even recognize her. This…

More fake atrocities from the Islamic State

Today I studied photos and video of two more fake atrocities committed by the Islamic State. It’s clear why they would fabricate the burning alive of Royal Jordanian Air Force pilot Lieutenant Moath Youssef al-Kasasbeh: They needed full control over him in order to make the recruiting film of a lifetime, the ghastly Healing the…

The Kurds get the help they need

Sit back, and I’ll show you something truly incredible. I never thought I’d see it in my lifetime, but it’s happening. The Kurds are getting the help they need on the ground—but not from the US. That’s a good thing in the long run. We’re seeing cultures give up ancient enmities and religious bigotry in…

Fantasizing to death

Somebody sent me two photos, asking if they’re real. They aren’t. These transparently fake images are all over the Internet, passed around from cultist to cultist as medication to keep the mind from functioning. What so many people refuse to accept is that pathological fantasizing leads to death. By denying reality, you suffer at the…

Hacked again; up and running again

Sometime last night my Website was hacked again.    My guess it was my post “Submission,” in which I explained that I never join groups and I refuse to give in to threats. I have a private server now, so we can track down the hackers by looking at the log books. That information has…
