veteranstoday--2020-09-22--Syrian Offensive to Retake Idlib from US Backed Terrorists Imminent

Key Takeaway : Turkey may have agreed to cede control of territory in southern Idlib to pro-Assad forces in a meeting with Russia on September 16 .
If the reports of a deal are true , a pro-Assad offensive is likely imminent .
Turkish-backed opposition forces and al Qaeda linked elements may fight back against advancing Russian-backed regime forces even without Turkish support .
Turkey is most likely to cede the territory south of the M4 highway , a zone in which Turkey had already agreed to allow Russian patrols in March but retained forces , including artillery units , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ISW warned on March 18 that this situation was likely untenable because al Qaeda-linked forces rejected Russian presence .
[ 1 ] Turkey could face backlash from al Qaeda-linked elements , local civilians , and even Turkish-backed opposition forces for negotiating away opposition-held territory .
Tripwire : Russian state-owned news outlet RIA Novosti reported that Turkey agreed to reduce troop numbers in , and withdraw some heavy artillery from , greater Idlib Province as Turkish and Russian military delegations met in Ankara on September 16 to discuss Syria .
[ 2 ] Other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ usually-credible Asharq al-Awsat , subsequently corroborated these reports .
[ 3 ] A negotiated removal of Turkish forces from areas of Idlib , if it does occur , would reflect a revision to the de-escalation agreement signed by Russia and Turkey on March 5 and would indicate a renewed pro-regime offensive is imminent .
Pattern : A series of recent events indicate Russia and Turkey have been negotiating an agreement providing for a partial Turkish withdrawal from greater Idlib .
• Turkey withdrew hundreds of Turkish Armed Forces ( TSK ) special forces @ @ @ @ @ @ @ southern Idlib towns in the Jabal Zawiya area ( Abdita , Ahsam , Al-Magara , and Beliun ) on September 8 .
[ 4 ] Turkey claimed the withdrawal was a redeployment related to Turkey ’ s ongoing maritime disputes with Greece , but Turkey may have used its dispute with Greece as cover for actions consistent with an impending deal with Russia in Idlib .
Turkey has previously redeployed Syrian fighters from Idlib to Libya .
Turkey ’ s redeployment of TSK forces from greater Idlib to another theater marks an inflection @ @ @ @ @ @ @ frequency of its military logistics convoys .
Turkey typically sends convoys carrying supplies and rotating troops into its military positions in greater Idlib every 1-2 days , but reduced this activity to only three convoys in the past 13 days ( two on September 10 , one of September 18 ) .
[ 5 ] Turkey ’ s force reduction and decreased activity along ground lines of communication may have been a Turkish demonstration of good faith as negotiations with Russia were ongoing or an early move to implement a soon-to-be-finalized agreement to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ area .
• The Assad regime organized violent protests outside Turkish observation points in Morek , northern Hama Province ; Sarman , southeastern Idlib Province ; and potentially elsewhere on September 16 .
The regime attempted to keep its role in these protests secret by encouraging protesters to dress in civilian clothing .
[ 6 ] These protests likely represent a regime effort to exert pressure on Turkish military positions and emphasize the unpopularity of the Turkish presence in regime-held areas of greater Idlib .
The regime likely sought levy an implied threat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a deal for the handover of more terrain .
Two recent Russian statements signal that a resumption of the pro-regime offensive in greater Idlib may be imminent .
• Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov expressed confidence that Turkey and Russia would succeed in “ liberating ” Idlib Province from terrorists in a press conference on September 7 .
[ 7 ] The statement was oddly optimistic following a string of Salafi-jihadist attacks on Russian-Turkish joint patrols along the M4 highway from late July to early September .
[ 8 ] • Russian General @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Center for Reconciliation in Syria , claimed on September 11 that al Qaeda-linked Hayat Tahrir al-Sham is planning a chemical attack on Jabal Zawiya .
[ 9 ] Russia has frequently accused anti-Assad forces of planning chemical attacks without evidence and has deliberately confused the information environment in the past to obscure the Assad regime ’ s exclusive conduct of such attacks .
[ 10 ] Russia could be preparing the information environment to justify a pro-regime offensive .
In a low-probability but dangerous scenario , Russia may have issued the statement to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ itself planning a chemical attack on Jabal Zawiya .
Turkey ’ s foreign minister , Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu , denied on September 16 that negotiations with Russia had been productive and emphasized the need for a political solution in Idlib .
[ 11 ] Çavuşoğlu may be trying to temporarily conceal the details of an agreement with Russia in order to preserve Turkey ’ s reputation among greater Idlib ’ s population and avoid backlash from opposition groups .
Pro-Assad forces have brought enough reinforcements to the Idlib frontlines since the March 5 de-escalation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an attack .
[ 12 ] Low-level frontline fighting and limited Russian and regime artillery and airstrikes have all persisted despite the de-escalation agreement .
[ 13 ] The operational tempo of pro-regime attacks increased in July as pro-Assad forces intensified their shelling of frontline towns and probing attacks against opposition defenses .
Russian airstrikes and regime shelling of opposition positions now an almost daily occurrence .

Key Takeaway: Turkey may have agreed to cede control of territory in southern Idlib to pro-Assad forces in a meeting with Russia on September 16. If the reports of a deal are true, a pro-Assad offensive is likely imminent. Turkish-backed opposition forces and al Qaeda linked elements may fight back against advancing Russian-backed regime forces even without Turkish support. Turkey is most likely to cede the territory south of the M4 highway, a zone in which Turkey had already agreed to allow Russian patrols in March but retained forces, including artillery units, that precluded a full regime takeover. ISW warned on March 18 that this situation was likely untenable because al Qaeda-linked forces rejected Russian presence.[1] Turkey could face backlash from al Qaeda-linked elements, local civilians, and even Turkish-backed opposition forces for negotiating away opposition-held territory.
Tripwire: Russian state-owned news outlet RIA Novosti reported that Turkey agreed to reduce troop numbers in, and withdraw some heavy artillery from, greater Idlib Province as Turkish and Russian military delegations met in Ankara on September 16 to discuss Syria.[2] Other sources, including Turkish media and the usually-credible Asharq al-Awsat, subsequently corroborated these reports.[3] A negotiated removal of Turkish forces from areas of Idlib, if it does occur, would reflect a revision to the de-escalation agreement signed by Russia and Turkey on March 5 and would indicate a renewed pro-regime offensive is imminent.
Pattern: A series of recent events indicate Russia and Turkey have been negotiating an agreement providing for a partial Turkish withdrawal from greater Idlib.
Turkey withdrew hundreds of Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) special forces and infantry and Turkish-backed opposition fighters from southern Idlib towns in the Jabal Zawiya area (Abdita, Ahsam, Al-Magara, and Beliun) on September 8.[4] Turkey claimed the withdrawal was a redeployment related to Turkey’s ongoing maritime disputes with Greece, but Turkey may have used its dispute with Greece as cover for actions consistent with an impending deal with Russia in Idlib. Turkey has previously redeployed Syrian fighters from Idlib to Libya. Turkey’s redeployment of TSK forces from greater Idlib to another theater marks an inflection, however.
Turkey reduced the frequency of its military logistics convoys. Turkey typically sends convoys carrying supplies and rotating troops into its military positions in greater Idlib every 1-2 days, but reduced this activity to only three convoys in the past 13 days (two on September 10, one of September 18).[5] Turkey’s force reduction and decreased activity along ground lines of communication may have been a Turkish demonstration of good faith as negotiations with Russia were ongoing or an early move to implement a soon-to-be-finalized agreement to reduce Turkey’s presence in the area.
The Assad regime organized violent protests outside Turkish observation points in Morek, northern Hama Province; Sarman, southeastern Idlib Province; and potentially elsewhere on September 16. The regime attempted to keep its role in these protests secret by encouraging protesters to dress in civilian clothing.[6] These protests likely represent a regime effort to exert pressure on Turkish military positions and emphasize the unpopularity of the Turkish presence in regime-held areas of greater Idlib. The regime likely sought levy an implied threat against Turkish forces, as Russia pursued a deal for the handover of more terrain.
Two recent Russian statements signal that a resumption of the pro-regime offensive in greater Idlib may be imminent.
Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov expressed confidence that Turkey and Russia would succeed in “liberating” Idlib Province from terrorists in a press conference on September 7.[7] The statement was oddly optimistic following a string of Salafi-jihadist attacks on Russian-Turkish joint patrols along the M4 highway from late July to early September.[8]
Russian General Alexander Greenkiewicz, who heads the Russian Center for Reconciliation in Syria, claimed on September 11 that al Qaeda-linked Hayat Tahrir al-Sham is planning a chemical attack on Jabal Zawiya.[9] Russia has frequently accused anti-Assad forces of planning chemical attacks without evidence and has deliberately confused the information environment in the past to obscure the Assad regime’s exclusive conduct of such attacks.[10] Russia could be preparing the information environment to justify a pro-regime offensive. In a low-probability but dangerous scenario, Russia may have issued the statement to muddy attribution knowing the Assad regime is itself planning a chemical attack on Jabal Zawiya.
Turkey’s foreign minister, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, denied on September 16 that negotiations with Russia had been productive and emphasized the need for a political solution in Idlib.[11] Çavuşoğlu may be trying to temporarily conceal the details of an agreement with Russia in order to preserve Turkey’s reputation among greater Idlib’s population and avoid backlash from opposition groups.

The most likely location for a forthcoming pro-Assad offensive is the Sahl al-Ghab and Jabal Zawiya areas south of the M4 highway, where pro-regime forces have focused their airstrikes, shelling, and frontline attacks.[16] If Turkey did reach a deal with Russia, it likely agreed to pull its forces back to the M4 highway security corridor, effectively ceding everything south of the M4 security corridor to the Assad regime. Turkey’s September 8 withdrawal already removed some of Turkey’s forces from this area. [17] The zone south of the M4 is Turkey’s least defensible territory in northwest Syria – regime forces are heavily concentrated along this frontline, the terrain is comparatively flat, and the frontlines have evolved such that the area is vulnerable to encirclement.

The Assad regime is likely to attempt to collapse the opposition pocket south of the M4 highway in a double envelopment with a western prong tracking north from Jabal Shahshabo and an eastern prong tracking north from Ma’arat al-Numaan before linking up near Ariha. Seizing the territory in question will not be an easy fight for the Assad regime; however, with Russian backing, regime forces will likely overpower the forces of HTS and smaller opposition groups absent Turkish support.

It is unclear what concessions Turkey may have gained from Russia in exchange for the withdrawal. Russia might have promised to coerce the Assad regime into permitting a Turkish offensive into the jointly regime and Syrian Democratic Forces dominated Tel Rifaat area. A Syrian state-linked outlet claimed on September 17 that Russia refused the Turkish delegation’s request to hand over the major population centers of Tel Rifaat and Manbij during the September 16 meeting.[20] This source has an incentive to lie to avoid the appearance of regime weakness. Turkey shelled areas near Tel Rifaat on September 17.[21] Russia may also have made concessions pertaining to northeast Syria, Libya, defense cooperation, or other areas in which both parties have interests.

However, the regime could gain significant territory by seizing Jabal Zawiya and Sahl al-Ghab and establishing a new defensible line, which would likely render its previous gains irreversible. Turkey’s willingness to make deals may create openings for further regime gains in the subsequent months or years. Further, a regime seizure of this area could enable it to use the M4 highway to link this new control zone in Ariha to regime-held Saraqib. The regime may also be able to create a vulnerable opposition salient to the west of Jabal Shahshabo, positioning itself to take difficult terrain more easily.
A Turkish withdrawal from southern Idlib would likely trigger blowback from jihadists and the local population. HTS has increasingly aligned itself with Turkey in order to retain Turkey’s support in defending Idlib and has attempted to curtail the activities of hardline Salafi-jihadist groups who seek to expel Turkish forces. A major Turkish territorial concession could cause HTS to reverse this position. Hardline groups will likely scale up attacks on Turkish forces in either case. The population’s response to the Turkish presence in greater Idlib has been mixed. The goodwill of local supporters of the Turkish presence is premised on Turkish defense of greater Idlib against the Assad regime.
Indicators: ISW will be watching for a physical withdrawal of Turkish forces and artillery from Idlib in accordance with Russia’s claimed deal as well as for any effort to create a new, defensible Turkish frontline. Intense Russian airstrikes intended to soften opposition defenses would indicate that a ground push by pro-Assad forces could follow in the coming days or weeks. The presence of key regime commanders from elite military units such as the Russian-backed Syrian Arab Army (SAA) 25th Special Tasks Division (aka.

The lack of an actual withdrawal of Turkish forces from southern Idlib or outright Turkish and Russian repudiation of the reports of an agreement would indicate that negotiations failed.

Health Editor ’ s Note : With Trump crowing over ‘ herd immunity ’ for a virus that offers no trusted immunity ( lasting antibodies ) against itself and a question of when or if there will be a vaccine that the U.S. will allow to be used , it is no wonder this group seeks to vet the guidance from the CDC and FDA .

needed to back it up .
His political aspirations for November and constant interference of his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ business has everyone doubting what the future will hold .
Do Note that there is no herd immunity possible without a reliable vaccine or at the very least , an immunity with antibodies , that fight off a future case of coronavirus .
There are reports of people getting re-infected at least a second time with a different strain of COVID-19 than they had the first time .
Sometimes the person is sicker with the second infection .
COVID-19 immunity only occurs when the body producing antibodies against the virus or from a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ immunity .

veteranstoday--2020-09-21--Intel Drop: Why no one should vote

Intel Drop: Why no one should vote

Every 4 years Americans demonstrate their knowledge of leadership and the character of their own existence .
Each year tens of millions of Americans demonstrate significant sub-human behaviors .
Insectiods may well be among us , the Late Show may say it better than I can but blaming evil aliens pleases readership so “ I am going to go there…girl ” : America had several good leaders in the 20th century .
Certainly FDR was exceptional , compassionate , strong , he saved America from starvation at the hands of the GOP/Rothschild financial cabal much as Barack Obama saved the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the collapse of 2007-8 and the looting of America ’ s banks .
As FDR staved off a fascist takeover of America , so did Truman .
Kennedy tried to take down the GOP/Rothschilds by closing the Fed in 1963 but was murdered .
Perhaps the greatest man to seek the presidency is Jimmy Carter , forced out of office by the GOP/Rothschild cabal who cut off the money supply and ran up interest rates and inflation .
They placed “ acting president ” Ronnie Reagan , “ Mister Teleprompter ” into the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of bumbling homilies while fascists consolidated power .
Today we face something so much worse , no attempt is made to present Donald Trump as anything but a child rapist and dime store Hitler .
If people want a “ dime store Hitler ” they should have one .
However , what if millions of Americans aren ’ t really people at all , not beyond mimicking what a chimp might do .
Ever try to talk to a Trumpster ?
Ever try to talk to a chimp ?
To best understand the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of spirituality as well , something quite vital , reading Castaneda is a good start , particularly Journey to Ixtlan and A Separate Reality .
This is the story of a Yaqui ‘ shaman , ’ for lack of a better word , who spends several years confounding a witless graduate student with the realities of the seen and unseen world .
Both exist and there is very much an unseen world that peeks through continually as those who use hallucinogens or practice types of meditation know very well .
Much of what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deals clumsily with this dynamic .
Those things out there , the unseen things , may well have ‘ organization ’ and ‘ intent ’ which in cases may not be conducive toward positive interaction with humans in general .
OK , I will risk this .
As part of a program I was introduced to many years ago , only initially through a government organization , such phenomenon was explored in relationship to its possible ties to UFOs .
That question , do entities from off planet , unseen that may have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ perhaps less , exist , do they interact with chosen groups of humans and are they directing the mayhem we see today ?
A strong correlation was developed though I was never made privy to the evidence .
I was , however , deeply chastised for drawing my own correlations between official ‘ findings ’ and my own views of history and religion .
The idea is that families like the Trumps and Rothschilds , but many more as well , are somehow infected by or ‘ possessed ’ by entities that draw @ @ @ @ @ @ @ norms in order to create chaos and suffering .
I was briefed on this hypothesis and then presented with first person testimony on the nature of how this works , not saying I believed it all , but that what I am saying is part of a belief system used by those officially tasked with very real ‘ X files ’ type work , which I am no longer allowed to talk about since blabbing on a major network talk show in 2009 .
The idea is this , as best I can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back thousands of years , do the kind of things described in the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion .
There is a reason I use this reference as it very closely describes what I was told is expected of those who serve those ‘ from the other side.
’ The Jewish part did not apply and I have no reason to think ‘ Elders of Zion ’ even exist but the dynamic as described is very much what was asserted .
Thus , leave the ‘ Semitic ’ part out .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ families aided by some sort of ‘ demonic ’ or ‘ jinn-like ’ beings ( I was warned never to use these references ) , families that for centuries have trafficked in humans like the Trumps or , on a grander scale , promoted wars , poverty and disease like the Rothschilds , did exist ?
Thus far we have never been exposed to the overt anti-human/non-mammalian behaviors of such families ( we are not following David Icke here but agreeing with many of his assertions ) until Donald Trump .
We can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of them .
We have friends in common and they find him heartless and manipulative to an extent , but much less than Trump .
Hitler was , when looked at without the cheap propaganda , not ‘ one of them ’ either .
So then , who are they ?
It has been a huge mistake to allow us to look at the Trump family and its overtly psychopathic nature .
Ivanka on the starving : “ Let them find ‘ something else . '
” Anyone see the film “ The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these people ?
While following my good friend Mehran Keshe and his journey ’ s , as Chief of Security and Director of the Keshe Foundation ( s ) , I tripped over what Qanon describes but with endlessly more detail .
We followed massive human trafficking efforts from Africa and the Middle East as orchestrated through powerful organizations in Belgium and the Netherlands tied to “ Black Nobility.
” This effort led to the murder of Scalia to silence him , the imprisonment of Sterling David Allen and the exposure of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ satellite surveillance capability , a long story there involving child kidnapping tied to Eu space agency scientists .
This is all real hands on stuff .
Now as a backstory .
Some 50 plus years ago I served in Vietnam as a Marine .
I was a ‘ rifleman ’ with a line unit in actual combat , more appropriately ‘ from time to time.
’ No one is in regular combat .
Later , as I wormed my way into a kushy job after 9 months of mud slogging , I got @ @ @ @ @ @ @ works , where lazy fat assholes visit combat , occasionally get shot , then run home to mama .
The feeling is very different , not anything like being engaged continually , on patrol , sleeping on the ground , living without food and water , always outnumbered .
There is a quality of experience there that either makes you the predator you are or breaks you .
A real predator , Jim Hanke is my hero to that extent , a real Rambo , is as with Castaneda , and we will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ warrior.
’ With this comes a complexity of spirit that is the basis of real leadership .
Combat is about ‘ not killing.
’ Everything we hear about the most recent wars , and we must accept that ‘ what we hear ’ is likely fake , tells us that our military is all frightened primitive types who seek approval from the fat asses by murdering civilians .
Those exalted as heroes are all this type , almost all , willing to shoot unarmed civilians randomly .
Reminds me of a Staff @ @ @ @ @ @ @ passed the word onto us that we would win silver stars if we would start killing with knives instead of guns .
This was December 1969 .
I remember him saying that , holding a carton of chocolate milk , it dropping down on his huge gut as his pink face seemed to glow with a special kind of sickness .
I only remember him leaving the wire one time .
He looked like a bear dancing on ball bearings .
To a real warrior , there is no enemy .
Anyone who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they have always lived , no air support , not driving around in an MRAP sucking on an energy drink while reliving moments from Playstation… The enemy of every warrior is the same…those who stay behind , the Trumps of the world , the heel spurs .
You either break or you move to another plane , one where you will never feel fear or hatred again and where you will never have an enemy , only brothers in arms .
Few of such people exist today , certainly none come forward .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Never have humans seemed more like angry , demented monkeys than they do now but why only in the United States ?
After all , what nation ’ s people can do what we see in the US ?

To best understand the reality of mankind, including the nature of spirituality as well, something quite vital, reading Castaneda is a good start, particularly Journey to Ixtlan and A Separate Reality.
This is the story of a Yaqui ‘shaman,’ for lack of a better word, who spends several years confounding a witless graduate student with the realities of the seen and unseen world.
Both exist and there is very much an unseen world that peeks through continually as those who use hallucinogens or practice types of meditation know very well.
Much of what is expressed in science fiction and religion deals clumsily with this dynamic.
Those things out there, the unseen things, may well have ‘organization’ and ‘intent’ which in cases may not be conducive toward positive interaction with humans in general.
OK, I will risk this. As part of a program I was introduced to many years ago, only initially through a government organization, such phenomenon was explored in relationship to its possible ties to UFOs.
That question, do entities from off planet, unseen that may have been here for millions of years, perhaps less, exist, do they interact with chosen groups of humans and are they directing the mayhem we see today?
A strong correlation was developed though I was never made privy to the evidence. I was, however, deeply chastised for drawing my own correlations between official ‘findings’ and my own views of history and religion.
The idea is that families like the Trumps and Rothschilds, but many more as well, are somehow infected by or ‘possessed’ by entities that draw on an inherent lack of mammalian behavioral norms in order to create chaos and suffering.
I was briefed on this hypothesis and then presented with first person testimony on the nature of how this works, not saying I believed it all, but that what I am saying is part of a belief system used by those officially tasked with very real ‘X files’ type work, which I am no longer allowed to talk about since blabbing on a major network talk show in 2009.
The idea is this, as best I can describe it:
Ruling families, going back thousands of years, do the kind of things described in the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. There is a reason I use this reference as it very closely describes what I was told is expected of those who serve those ‘from the other side.’
The Jewish part did not apply and I have no reason to think ‘Elders of Zion’ even exist but the dynamic as described is very much what was asserted. Thus, leave the ‘Semitic’ part out.
So, what if we had powerful families aided by some sort of ‘demonic’ or ‘jinn-like’ beings (I was warned never to use these references), families that for centuries have trafficked in humans like the Trumps or, on a grander scale, promoted wars, poverty and disease like the Rothschilds, did exist?
Thus far we have never been exposed to the overt anti-human/non-mammalian behaviors of such families (we are not following David Icke here but agreeing with many of his assertions) until Donald Trump.
We can’t even say Netanyahu is one of them. We have friends in common and they find him heartless and manipulative to an extent, but much less than Trump. Hitler was, when looked at without the cheap propaganda, not ‘one of them’ either.
So then, who are they? It has been a huge mistake to allow us to look at the Trump family and its overtly psychopathic nature. Ivanka on the starving: “Let them find ‘something else.'”
Anyone see the film “The Omen?”
So, who are these people? While following my good friend Mehran Keshe and his journey’s, as Chief of Security and Director of the Keshe Foundation (s), I tripped over what Qanon describes but with endlessly more detail.
We followed massive human trafficking efforts from Africa and the Middle East as orchestrated through powerful organizations in Belgium and the Netherlands tied to “Black Nobility.”
This effort led to the murder of Scalia to silence him, the imprisonment of Sterling David Allen and the exposure of a scheme to control the world’s satellite surveillance capability, a long story there involving child kidnapping tied to Eu space agency scientists.
This is all real hands on stuff.
Now as a backstory. Some 50 plus years ago I served in Vietnam as a Marine. I was a ‘rifleman’ with a line unit in actual combat, more appropriately ‘from time to time.’ No one is in regular combat.
Later, as I wormed my way into a kushy job after 9 months of mud slogging, I got to see how “fake combat” works, where lazy fat assholes visit combat, occasionally get shot, then run home to mama.
The feeling is very different, not anything like being engaged continually, on patrol, sleeping on the ground, living without food and water, always outnumbered. There is a quality of experience there that either makes you the predator you are or breaks you.
Most were broken.
A real predator, Jim Hanke is my hero to that extent, a real Rambo, is as with Castaneda, and we will talk more on this, a real ‘warrior.’ With this comes a complexity of spirit that is the basis of real leadership.
Combat is about ‘not killing.’ Everything we hear about the most recent wars, and we must accept that ‘what we hear’ is likely fake, tells us that our military is all frightened primitive types who seek approval from the fat asses by murdering civilians.
Those exalted as heroes are all this type, almost all, willing to shoot unarmed civilians randomly. Reminds me of a Staff Sergeant Lxxxx back with 1/26/Alpha Company who passed the word onto us that we would win silver stars if we would start killing with knives instead of guns.
This was December 1969. I remember him saying that, holding a carton of chocolate milk, it dropping down on his huge gut as his pink face seemed to glow with a special kind of sickness. I only remember him leaving the wire one time. He looked like a bear dancing on ball bearings.
To a real warrior, there is no enemy. Anyone who lives like a real warrior, like they have always lived, no air support, not driving around in an MRAP sucking on an energy drink while reliving moments from Playstation…

If you don’t know, you obviously weren’t in the Balkans when Yugoslavia bit the dust, we are seeing just that now but with a special flair, a particular kind of American dumb that makes those in Iceland or Ireland or Germany or even Italy cringe.
There is something ‘pre-radicalized’ in the genetic makeup of millions of Americans, entirely white, mostly Northern European, something missing as to a connector between reason and the baser instincts that mammals share, care for the young, predation only for food and patterns of behavior that increase chances of survival rather than decrease.
It is as though Decartes never existed, that cause and effect wasn’t observable and that physical phenomenon had no meaning.
Those who study anthropology around the world find themselves increasingly looking to America as a ‘throwback’ society where humans, based on a possible awakening of something hidden in their junk DNA have descended the evolutionary ladder out of the classification of mammal and even beyond amphibian and reptile.
Social psychologists are always trying to make excuses, blaming television, MTV for instance, heavy metal or meth addiction and those things certainly may apply but the problem is even more endemic than that.
It is obvious, the US is a failed nation. No election can fix it. Washington didn’t make America a nation of degenerates and idiots ruled by superstition and fear, that began in Salem almost 400 years ago, it is written into our history, which can only be read in the works of famed historian Howard Zinn.
You want to know America, read his ‘People’s History.”

Our first gift is intelligence, or was intended to be. My personal hypothesis is that mankind was engineered by an alien race, our ‘gods,’ who raised us from primates through genetic engineering that would be rather simple by today’s standards.
The skill it took to make COVID 19 for instance, could easily have turned a monkey into what we call human with this exception, monkeys are much less crazy though you can make a monkey crazy, make it act almost human if you abuse it enough.

Call this a generalization but it seems christianity itself was created to enfeeble and corrupt, a religion that embraces racism and hate so easily, one susceptible to open interpretation to feed the basest human instincts.
