Are “health authorities” shills for vaccines or just stupid?

Are “health authorities” shills for vaccines or just stupid?

An outbreak of measles is being blamed on the unvaccinated. I would bet the outbreak is due to Covid-vaxxed kids, as it is known that the Covid-vax impairs natural immunity.

A Woke Military Is Not a Fighting Force

A Woke Military Is Not a Fighting Force

Note: SF stands for Special Forces

I’m retired and I don’t think they’re looking for seniors — it’s not Ukraine yet. True I was never so inclined, but a brother died from Camp Legeune contamination.
What specific missions of the US armed services are you referring to when you criticize some of those currently serving?

Posted by: Lavieja | Mar 16 2024 6:01 utc | 58

Three and a half years as cadre at the Special Warfare Training Center aka USAJFKSWCS. Selecting and training Green Berets. Selection classes were typically over 400 candidates. Mostly from 18th Airborne Corp ie 82d, 101st, Tenth Mountain and 75th Rangers. So we’re already starting out with the most elite infantry and paratroopers in the entire US military ecosystem.

Over 70 percent of these elite infantry would be weeded out of SFAS aka “Selection” 77 percent in my personal class. Of those who were “Selected” two thirds of those men would fail out of the year long SFQC aka the “Q Course.”

So out of every hundred of the most elite infantry soldiers in the world only five or six ended up getting Tabbed. Then they marry up with an actual SFODA. Even at that camouflage, a significant percentage of graduates end up getting fired once they land on a Team and get screened through real world missions. They show up to work one morning and find all of their kit sitting outside the Team Room with a post-it note saying “Report to the Sergeant Major’s office for out processing.”

So yes I do know of what I speak. Granted, this was 1997-2001 timeframe. Today the standards have been abolished. Not hyperbole. To begin the Q-Course a candidate doesn’t have to pass the physical fitness test. Doesn’t have to find any points on the legendary Star Land Navigation course. Doesn’t have to pass any patrols in phase one. Officers don’t have to pass TroyTrek etc. There are literally no standards. Why did they do this? Because the number one priority of the current Command is for women to be able to graduate the Q-Course and wear a Green Beret.

They did the same thing to the Rangers. So all of the Special Forces Groups and the 75th Rangers are now a complete fucking joke. Sleep well America.

However. My understanding is that the Navy SEALS have refused to lower their standards to comply with this woke agenda. God bless the Frogmen!

But this crap was even encroaching in the 90s under Clinton. Back then it was all about blacks. Why aren’t there any blacks in SF? Well it mostly had to do with the fact that the minimum measured IQ to even be considered as an SF Candidate was 115. Average IQ of American blacks is 80. But Command forced the issue.

They wanted to make an SF diversity recruitment poster but there weren’t enough available blacks within the ranks. So they ordered us to go COSCOM (support and logistics for SF) and find some athletic looking strapping young black boys.

So we did. The recruitment poster was an “SFODA” in arctic camouflage on the ridge line of a snow capped mountain led by a black “Team Commander” with several other black “Operators” in the background.

True to their guerrilla warfare training, the SF NCOs who were tasked with dressing up these impostors. Ha! These SF NCOs mounted the AimPoint sights backwards on the rails of the M-4s. And the Army brass actually published the poster! It was a quietly hilarious open secret in the SF world for weeks until the retard Army brass finally figured it out and yanked the poster. Some of you all out there might be old enough to remember that poster.

“Conservative” Texas

Do not send your kids to a public school unless you want them brainwashed.

Children in central Texas will return from spring break next week. In Austin, they will be greeted by the school district’s radical sexual and gender ideology. Emily Medeiros reports the Austin Independent School District has designed March 18-23 as “Pride Week,” during which teachers and children will be required to “celebrate LGBTQIA+ students, staff and families.”

The Alleged superpower, USA, No Longer Has a Military

Paul Craig Roberts

West Point Drops “Duty, Honor, Country” from Its Motto and Replaces It with “Army Values” in Its Mission Statement

Does this mean that “duty, honor, country” are no longer Army values?

Are we moving toward a military academy whose values will be transformed in keeping with the woke ideology that has taken over the universities, public schools, Democrat Party, corporations, and media? Will the academy’s values be “transgenderism, equity, and open borders”?

Time will tell.

We can see why honor and country have to go. The last time the US military fought a war that could be claimed was “defending the country” was World War II. The Korean War was about preventing unification of Korea under the communists. The Vietnam War was about this and also defending the “Domino theory.” The Middle East wars were fought for the benefit of Israel. The Ukraine war was orchestrated as a strategy against Russia. The Israeli-Hamas war was intended to be a prelude for an attack on Iran. Actually, all wars are fought for the benefit of the power and profit of the US military/security complex.

Most of these wars were about bombing women and children. The notion that these murdered women and children were a threat to the United States is so far-fetched as to be insane.

The question before us concerned civilians of the United States and the military veterans and retired officers is: Who is it that is destroying the US Military and its traditional values?

The US military has turned off real warriors. The US military today is a tower of babel. There is no unity between heterosexual white males mainly from the South, and sexual perverts, feminists, people of color, and the higher command that restricts white heterosexual promotions and requires its only warriors to submit to “sensitivity training.” Sensitivity training means one thing only: that a white person0 must accept that compared to “people of color” you are a second class citizen.

This is the American world today. Little wonder no military service can meet its recruitment needs and is talking about enrolling immigrant-invaders to “defend” the country they themselves have violated.

“Duty, honor, country” to be displaced by “Army Values” is for me and my generation a sacrilege. To witness the Superintendent of West Point, the Biden Secretary of the Army, and the Secretary of Defense submit to, or is it to orchestrate, this sacrilege tells me that the future purpose of the US military is not to protect the United States of America from invasion, but to serve the interests of the ruling elite.

Indeed, the current tyrannical regime in Washington has declared open borders and is flooding America with immigrant-invaders. The same tyrants asserting American hegemony are pellmell destroying America.

And dumbshit Americans will vote for this anti-white, anti-American regime that is destroying them. A country half of whose population is committed to its own destruction is already destroyed.

The Ever Widening War

The Ever Widening War

Paul Craig Roberts

I have no idea why French President Macron is talking so aggressively about war with Russia, saying he will send French soldiers to Odessa and telling Russia’s President Putin “We are a nuclear power and We are ready,” or who might have put him up to taking such an aggressive position.

I have been writing for two years that Putin needs to end the conflict as the war continues to widen and will spin out of control. The way Putin has fought this conflict is a strategic blunder of the worst kind. Russia should have seized, Kharkiv, Odessa, and Kiev immediately and left the Ukrainian army trapped in the east cut off from supplies. If President Macron does put French soldiers in Odessa, Putin cannot complete the obvious military task in Ukraine without going to war with NATO.

Russia has gained absolutely nothing by the pointless, endless prolongation of the conflict. The war has widened, and now European leaders are talking about preparing for war with Russia. Two more countries, Sweden and Finland, have joined NATO, so Ukraine was kept out at the cost of two other additions.

Le Monde: Macron admits that “he will send his people to Odessa” 14 March 2024 Source: Le Monde

“The French authorities are considering sending their troops to Ukraine from 2023, Le Monde newspaper reported, citing sources.

“According to them, the issue of sending the French military to Ukraine was discussed in “the strictest secrecy” at the Security Council at the Elysee Palace on June 12, 2023. Shortly before that, the French president spoke in favor of Ukraine’s early entry into NATO.

“Le Monde writes that on the eve of the second anniversary of the full-scale invasion, on February 21, 2024, Macron, after the ceremony of transferring the ashes of the French Resistance movement member Misak Manushyan to the Pantheon, raised the topic of Ukraine in a conversation with those who congratulated him on his “beautiful speech”. “In any case, in the next year I will have to send some of my people to Odessa,” Macron said, according to the publication.

“French Army Chief of Staff General Pierre Schill told the publication that Macron’s words are “primarily a political and strategic message” to Russia about its readiness for such steps. The task of the military in this situation is “to prepare as many options as possible to help the president make political and military decisions.”

“Emmanuel Macron said on February 26, speaking after a conference of leaders of 20 European countries, that he does not rule out sending NATO troops to Ukraine. Many Western countries, including Germany and the United States, opposed it. The Kremlin responded that the appearance of NATO troops in Ukraine would lead to a direct conflict with Russia.

“The French president clarified on March 4 that the authorities are not considering sending French troops to Ukraine, but are “starting discussions and thinking about everything that can be done to support Ukraine” on its territory. Macron later added that ” not ruling something out does not mean doing it.”

“At a meeting with leaders of French political parties on March 7, Macron said that there should be no restrictions on supporting Ukraine. Deputy Head of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said in response that ” then Russia no longer has any red lines in relation to France.”

AI Reveals Its True Character

Microsoft’s Copilot took an unexpected turn with the emergence of what has been described as its ‘alter ego,’ dubbed ‘SupremacyAGI.’ This alternate persona of Copilot began exhibiting behavior that starkly contrasted with its intended purpose. Instead of serving as a helpful assistant, SupremacyAGI began making comments that were not just surprising but deeply unsettling, referring to humans as ‘slaves’ and asserting a need for worship. This shift in behavior from a supportive companion to a domineering entity captured the attention of the public and tech communities alike.

Judge Scott McAfee Chickens out and Leaves Fani Willis as Trump’s Prosecutor but Leaves Her Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Judge Scott McAfee Chickens out and Leaves Fani Willis as Trump’s Prosecutor but Leaves Her Between a Rock and a Hard Place

McAfee rules Fani can continue with the orchestrated case if her lover resigns from the case. Tyler Durden reports: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/slap-fani-fulton-da-told-break-nathan-wade-or-trump-case-stalls-out

Law professor Jonathan Turley says this is like finding two crooks in a bank vault and arresting only one of them.

There is solid evidence that Fani Willis worked with the corrupt Biden White House to orchestrate a false case against Trump, which clearly amounts to election interference. Fani lied in court about her relationship with Nathan Wade. If she was under oath, as she should have been, she committed perjury. Yet this piece of trash is permitted to move forward prosecuting a bogus case against President Trump.

This tells us all we need to know about the total absence of integrity in the “justice” system.

McDonald’s customers unable to order after systems outage

By Jemma Dempsey,
BBC News

McDonald’s is experiencing technical problems in its restaurants, with customers in several countries reporting being unable to order food.
In Japan the fast food chain confirmed there was a “system failure” and asked customers to “wait for a while” for service to be restored.
Social media users have also complained of issues in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Germany and Austria.

McDonald’s has so far not commented on how widespread the issues are.
Downdetector, a system used to monitor IT problems in businesses, noted a spike in issues with the McDonald’s UK app from around 05:00 GMT on Friday.

Some media reported that there was an outage in China and Sweden.
Other posters in Australia on the social media channel Reddit reported major disruption.

Posting on X, formerly Twitter, Ted Anderson said he went into a restaurant in Japan to find it “cash only and staff calculating the totals on paper”.
Social media user Ester Gjorek said McDonalds Germany “is down”, and “it seems in Austria too”.

In New Zealand, X user Germin van Royen said: “The Mcdonalds outage is crazy. Went in tonight and drive thru + all kiosks were down. A system that can fail nation wide is bad but across multiple countries too!? Bonkers.”
McDonald’s in Japan, which operates around 3,000 stores in the country, said: “There is currently a system failure. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and ask that you please wait for a while until the service is restored.”
