Houston, we may have a problem.

Getting so daggum close to Christmas, and I really REALLY don’t want to post the negative crap, but dangit, people keep doing things that make me scratch my head and require a venting.

I don’t always agree with James Kunstler, and this is definitely a time where I am reading and going ‘uh, Wait a sec, did I miss something?  Did we fall back into a sane reality and no-one bothered to tell me?’

And if the Democratic Party loses as many seats in Congress and the Senate as it deserves to lose, not a single piece of their toxic legislation will see daylight until the mastodons come home in the next ice age.

Now, As I see it, in the last 24 months, we have been subjected to no less then three OBVIOUSLY manipulated election cycles, two of which were ‘stolen’ in cold light, and the other was ‘given away’, also in cold light: that last to ‘appease the masses’ IMO.    I’m sorry, but if anyone of a rational mind thinks that we are going to vote our way out of this???   Dammit, wake the fuck up PLEASE, the game is broken to allow for the steals and media plays it so that we THINK we have a choice.   As Carlin said, we don’t vote FOR anyone in this country, we vote AGAINST, and that means THERE ARE NO CHOICES TO VOTE FOR.   The writing is clear; we will NOT get a choice when the time comes: best get that through your head NOW.

And another article that had me doing the

“my beloved Corps” to quote the author,,,    former Gyrene meself, I can attest that we were the bottom shelf for most everything in the USDOTMIL.  Hell, we were still using the PRC68’s, a throw-back to ‘Nam, for comms!!!!    Couldn’t even order parts for the blasted things (other than batteries) because the archaic POS was out of production by at least 10 years.  Our radio guys were holding their burdens together with baling wire, bubble gum, spit and glue and the occasional curse towards DC and their ‘Budgets”.     Granted that was 30 years ago, and I know with all the forever wars since, things have improved, but the training was still that of Korea, and showed no signs of changing.  You don’t fix what ain’t broke. You may add to it though.  And that is the heart of that article.  Where I took my head scratching was in the tactical assessments.    If anyone thinks China has any intention of trying a mainland invasion on the US, they need to re-read Sun-Tzu.  And for someone that was supposedly in the Corps, that was required reading for E3s*.  China is actively doing what they do best, demoralize, belittle and subjugate the enemy.  Read Sun-Tzu again, and you will see that they will do everything they can to NOT FIGHT a war, before they have to go kinetic, but when they go kinetic, it will be like Vietnam all over again: waves of human sacrifice with winning not measured in life, but territory. 

And they know it won’t need to go that far, They already have controlling interest in our ‘hallowed halls’ .  They need only break the will of the people and their puppets are doing their outright best to do this as seen since Jan2021.   

Now, In his defense, he did state this at the end of his article.

The other possibility, and I say this with no evidence whatsoever, other than my faith in my beloved Corps, is that the Corps is training to operate independently of the rest of the military in any coming potential internal conflict, but I don’t want to draw Feds to the site by discussing that possibility.

THAT, I could buy into, but that leads to ‘conspiracy theory’ thinking and we ALL know how that goes of late.

I guess we will see won’t we,,,

But I stand on my TINVOWOOT statement,  I see no reason to think we are going to get out of this time period without a lot of pain to make up for the lack of Founding Spirit on display.

*(yes, muscles are required intelligence not expected’s had required reading lists and were highly encouraged to expand their knowledge as well as MOS.  I had two MOS numbers while in and both were wildly different but surprisingly compatible.   EOD tech and Truck Driver, and I was attached to mobile Artillery, the big ole niner-eights that weighed 14 tons and were hauled by a ‘5ton’ that weighed in at 11 tons.  150#boolits and powder charges measured in pounds fed into the breach in convenient bags (red side to breach bro! or it goes phfffft!!!)  As an example of how far ‘behind the times’ the Corps were then, we still hauled 155’s around on occasion and still had ammo for them (usually dated 195- sumpin,,,). The Corps always got the Hand-me-downs from the Army, with the exception of our Rifles.
