Want to know why crime is out of control? District Attorneys!

Even Cardi B. knows the truth!

I get her concern from a business point of view. She's a rapper so the threat of economic downturn will hit her pocketbooks because there is already a problem with bootleggers selling her music at a discount.

But the reality is easy to see.

Even strippers are complaining.  They might not announce that we're in recession but it should be obvious to all.

Worse for Biden?

Once we go into recession the chance of us pulling out before Nov is practically nil.  They totally misplayed their hands and will soon reap the whirlwind.

This guy gets it! Included is a special message to the Brits & Aussie "commentators"

REDBACK on the Korean Peninsula

Textron Cottonmouth ARV sporting the RT20? Is the civil war over Force Design 2030 over?

Note that he also talks about an ATGM for the ACV-30. That's interesting. Is this also an indication that Berger and Krulak came to some type of agreement to end the civil war over Force Design 2030? That is definitely a tilt toward at least taking prolonged land combat into consideration (if the ARV isn't canceled that does too). Haven't heard much on FD2030 since Krulak penned his piece (except from one clown). Kind of amazing. It won't help much. The damage is done in my eyes.

When we hit $5 a gallon gas it will crack the American psyche...people will pull back so hard a DEEP recession is guaranteed

If gas hits $5 a gallon before the end of June then a DEEP recession is all but guaranteed. It won't matter what Biden does. It won't matter what Congress does. The psyche of the American people will crack.

Weaponizing food or going after a major economic driver of an enemy's finances?

They call it weaponizing food.

Would it be better to say that they're going after a major economic driver of an enemy's ability to finance its war?

Total warfare is a terrible thing.  It's apparent that many are just now finding that out.

What's amazing to me is that the West went over the top in its sanctions against Russia and now is CRYING like a child over retaliatory actions.

This should have been expected, planned for and mitigating actions put in place.

It's obvious they weren't so now many many many more outside the war zone will suffer.

If this wasn't so serious I'd be laughing my ass off.
Another weird Tweet. NATO is all in on fighting but wonders why your opponent fights back?

Flight is God

America's space program was filled with brilliance, arrogance, mad men, bravery, heroism and pure genius. I guess it takes a little crazy, bravery, arrogance and brains to do anything big.

This quote though....This is BIG!
 

Fully loaded Chinese UAV

I gotta see this live to believe it! Either that UAV is MUCH bigger than I'm thinking or those are some light munitions.  This makes the F-35 "beast mode" look downright puny!

Ukraine/Russia war. If it ain't over by the end of Aug, beginning of Sept the coalition will fracture.

 This is pure speculation on my part.  I feel comfortable now on giving a timeline.

If the war isn't over by the end of Aug, beginning of Sept the coalition will fracture and the sanctions will fall apart.

My reasoning.

The "vacation" or "holiday" season will be over.  Many will be going back to work, school, etc..Once normal activities like back to school shopping will raise the ire of the public.  Shortages will now be felt and outrage will be at an all time high.

One caveat though.

Hurricane season for the southern US.

If it's as active as the weather service is predicting then we will see oil production offline for weeks at a time.  Refineries too.  That will put enormous pressure on the Biden administration.

The howls from some of his most important regions (the East and West coasts) over the price of fuel and electricity will be too loud to ignore.

The Russians thought that they could end this quickly at the start of this war.  They thought wrong.

The Biden Admin thought that they could bring Russia to retreat with over the top sanctions.  They thought wrong.

What will that leave us with?

Probably a muddled mess.

A low grade, grinding war in Europe, an economically destroyed global system and politicians searching for distractions to calm the masses.

My guess is that once we get to that point, the Biden Admin will pressure the UN to call a ceasefire with the lines frozen and a bid to put peacekeepers in-between the forces.  Chinese? Indian? I see them as the only acceptable forces.  African forces will not be allowed due to the geographic "sensibilities" involved (being polite to the many racists I have on this blog...fuck you all).

Europe will be destabilized for a generation.  Congrats to all that decided to play an unwinnable game.

If the JLTV is gonna be the main combat vehicle for the New Marine Corps then they need all of them to have firepower...they need the R400S

 

How Marines maintain a Combat - Athlete Mindset

Have you noticed something about US forces versus the rest of the world (except maybe Poland - they push both...HARD)? We emphasize strength to a great degree whereas other forces seem to focus more on agility. That's just my observation and I could EASILY be wrong but it looks like it to me.

New Zealand PM visit Black Rock...the world's largest shadow bank

 

I wonder if this is telling. A PM visits Black Rock? Is something going on behind the scenes that should concern us all?

‘Emergency Action Documents’ Show How the White House Plans for Apocalypse

 via Vice

A 2016 House Committee Appropriations Hearing gives us an explanation of what PEADs are and what, exactly, they do. 

“PEADs are pre-coordinated legal documents designed to implement a Presidential decision or transmit a Presidential request when an emergency disrupts normal governmental or legislative processes,” it said. “A PEAD may take the form of a Proclamation, Executive Order, or a Message to Congress.”

Interesting.  I've wondered about "Executive Orders", "Executive Actions" and the seemingly unused "Proclamation".  Seems to me that it gives the "elected" President almost dictatorial power that is NOT in keeping with our constitution.

 One 1959 version of the plan assumes that the Soviet Union has attacked America with nuclear weapons. They even had estimates about how many people might survive. “In spite of the magnitude of the catastrophe and the possibility of additional but lighter attacks, about 120,000,000 uninjured people and substantial material resources remain,” the plan theorized. “Consequently, there is ultimate recuperative potential to meet the requirements of the surviving population.”

Here 

This last part has me intrigued.  I wonder if the assessment has changed but I've always believed that MANY parts of the US would remain intact after a nuclear attack.

I'm thinking more like a "FALLOUT" game type world rather than complete destruction.

It's a short article and just gives a surface view but it gets the ball rolling.

B-Roll: 1-14 Soldiers with TF61/2.4 fire HIMARS

 

U.S. Army soldiers with the 1-14 Field Artillery Battalion with attached U.S. Marines from Task Group 61/2.4, fire a high mobility artillery rocket system near Saaremaa, Estonia, May 24, 2022. Task Group 61/2.4 provides naval and joint force commanders with dedicated multi-domain reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance (RXR) capabilities. Task Group 61/2.4, under Task Force 61/2, is executing the Commandant of the Marine Corps’ concept for stand-in forces (SIF) to generate small, highly versatile units that integrate U.S. Marine Corps and Navy forces. Task Force 61/2 is deployed in the U.S. Naval Forces Europe area of operations, employed by U.S. Sixth Fleet to defend U.S., allied and partner interests.

Small Rant....Ukraine/Russian war signals return to total warfare.

 Like everyone else I've been watching the Ukraine/Russia war and one thing has me a bit miffed.

This conflict is a return to total war for the uneducated.

That shit scares the fuck outta most.

The problem?

It's always been total war for those that "don't count". The Iraqis? They suffered total war.  Even with allied forces doing their best to NOT engage, hurt/kill civilians, the very nature of the war landed on the feet of the average man/woman/child non-combatant.

The same applied in Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, the ongoing fight in Yemen/N. Africa, the various Middle Eastern Wars, Korea, Vietnam, etc...

What the elite don't realize (probably because they've worked so hard to "lawyerize" conflict) is that its just the way things are.

People look back at the dropping of the atom bomb on Hiroshima with horror? IDIOTS!  The bombing of Dresden made that look like weak sauce!

Because the elite actually care about this war and has caused the sheeple to care too they're making a big deal of civilian causalities.

They cry about the number of people being killed (which is the only justifiable thing they're doing from my seat), but they put in policies that will see FAR MORE PEOPLE killed outside the warzone...and then they tell the masses that its part of the price for democracy.

Normally I'd be raging at the pure insanity of it all but on this one I can only watch in awe.

We don't live in a world of reality.  It's all fantasy now.
