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…
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…
Personal views on the Orlando mass shooting
June 12, 2016
I never tell people how and what to think. We now know that the mass shooting in Orlando, Florida, was carried out by a Muslim American who had pledged his allegiance to the Islamic State. What follows are my personal views. For one, I’m not going to tell anyone to “stop blaming Islam.” Muslims will…
Prediction: Peace between Sunni and Shi’ite Muslims
March 25, 2016
My gut told me that something extraordinary was happening in Syria. It took me weeks to find the evidence. I’m now convinced that I’m right, so my prediction is that Sunni and Shi’ite Muslims will make peace within the next five years. A prediction based on fact I found video of something that I won’t…
Masters of chaos are unleashing total havoc in Syria

I can’t tell you when the Arab League and its allies began wide-scale operations in…
Arrogance blinds even the smartest people to reality
January 28, 2016
I’ve always been a patriotic American. Our nation’s ideals are truly unique. However, I’ve recently had to accept that much of the criticism we experience as a world power is completely warranted. The worst thing about us is our arrogance. We believe that we’re the best and always will be the best. This is wrong….
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…
The Paris terrorists had no real training
November 14, 2015
The Islamic State terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13, 2015, were very poorly executed. In order to prove that, I’m going to talk about mass killings in a way that may sound coldblooded to you. I’ll understand if you find this post offensive. However, it’s important for you to know that the Paris terrorists…
