Love this story. My dad was securing the ropes on Ticonderoga or Galveston. Forget which.
1960's.
Early in Vietnam.
The admiral asks, "can you drive as well as tie rope?'
My dad answers, never drove a car, but know 100% that I am better than 99%.
The admiral laughed and said, "you are my new valet"
That admiral loved my dad.
Military has changed.
I must add. Admiral asked the captain how my dad scored on the military entrance exam.
Highest, you can score.
From an eighth grade education.
The Captain told the admiral, "Exxon is hot on him, but he thinks he can create a better company and rejected them."
Lol, my dad.
Times have changed.
Edit: had time period as 70's. Was a typo. Was 60's.
My sister was like, "oh, i cannot watch a military movie with husband, so she went grocery shopping, lol"
She was like, "oh, you will see."
This was a really fascinating movie to watch with him.
I learned all about HALO and HAHO. Heard of HALO before, but had no idea what HAHO was, so thought to share.
Also, learned about JTAC and JSOC.
Will share a few insights. He was asking me to pause movie every few seconds, lol.
Can see why my sister doesnt like watching military movies with him, but i found it fascinating.
First pause. One of the Delta Operators asks the JTAC if he has ever done a HALO jump?
Response is no.
My BIL says, stop!
This JTAC is in training and not far enough in the "pipeline" to do a JSOC operation.
This would never happen.
We continue watching.
In the helicopter, BIL says two things. Guns not properly secured while in copter for a HALO jump. Also, no sign of air canisters. I ask, "could they be in backpack?"
No, they would be visible on outside.
My BIL is retired Group 5, the asian SF. He was very familiar with this island.
Thats when he said, this should have been a HAHO jump. He explained, "the part where the pilot says, at 2k feet and going to 15k to drop is right, but. You do not want them to know you are coming. Say your target is 15 miles away, drop at high altitude, then High Open chutes and drift to the target."
But, requires high skill and a newbie JTAC could not do that and too hard to make sense in movie.
I could go on and on, lol, but will say one last thing.
Once they hit the ground, they were 8km from target.
My BIL said total BS. You are not traversing 8KM on that island without a bulldozer or paved road.
The scenes of open trails through forest are total BS.
Was interesting to watch with him.
I've viewed that absolutely weird and shocking video of P Diddy and Bieber.
Where Diddy says they are going "full" and he has Beiber for "48 hours".
All i can say.
RIP Dad.
I love you so much and miss you.
At Beibers age, my dad had to put up with so much crap from me, because "I knew everything"
I am so thankful that my father protected me as he did.
Thank you to all great dads!
Watching the recent SOTU speech was disturbing. It featured a man clearly on drugs who could barely walk to the podium. They call it the Lazarus drug. A drug so powerful that it reawakens the dead.
Sounds about right.
What really bothered me, though. SOH Johnson nodding and smiling with approval while Mr. Lazarus spoke about our need to stand with Ukraine to stop Russia from further expansion westward.
Few things.
There is no Ukraine left. More than half of Ukrainians have fled that country or died. From a population of 30m plus to less than 15m. Asked if they will return, no one says yes.
The eastern portion of Ukraine that is now under Russian control comprises 90% of prewar Ukrainian GDP. So, unless we are willing to fund Ukraine forever, they are essentially doomed.
Why did Russia invade? They did not invade Ukraine. They responded to an attack launched by the United States on ethnic Russian Ukrainians. In 2014 our state department along with the CIA installed dominion machines to rig their election and install an anti Russian government. Same machines they used to elect Mr. Lazarus.
Once this government was installed, they began killing ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine. Between 2014 and 2020 they were able to kill over 14,000 ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine.
That was not the only reason. Seems our CIA built biowarfare labs all over Ukraine. Most of them in the east. Why? Cannot make this up. They were bioengineering bacteria and viruses to attack Slavic people. They were grabbing ethnic Russian Ukrainians off the street and performing biological experiments on them.
Sounds crazy?
Well, explain this to me. Why did Chechen Muslims fight to the death at the battle of Mariupol? Scratched my head over this for years. Muslims fighting to the death for an orthodox Christian nation?
Well, those bio labs the CIA is running in eastern Ukraine target not only Slavs, but all Asiatic peoples. Yeah, the Chechens were targeted as well.
Straight out of a comic book or a bad movie series, the CIA created a Resident Evil bio lab in Mariupol that was a straight copy of Umbrella Corp, including a complex that stretched over 1,000 feet deep underground.
Our Clowns In America is comprised of dorks who love Resident Evil. Scary.
One of the wildest things I saw at the start of the war was an old woman leaving her apartment in Mariupol. She walked out of her front door then began to approach this man with heavy big beard in camo. Looked like the Taliban. She asked him “Is it safe for me to walk to my car? I need to grocery shop for my grandchild. He has a birthday today.”
The Chechen replied, “Give me a second. We need to lay down suppression fire before you can walk to your car. There is a sniper we have not been able to kill and you are in line of sight.”
He went on radio, shots fired, then he yelled at her to go to her car and this old lady shuffled to her car very similar to Mr. Lazarus, haha.
Russia went on to win that battle in Mariupol. Sacrificing none of their own National Military. Our MSM would have us believe that they lost heavily at the time. Not true.
Then the battle of Bakhmut.
Quite possibly, the most brutal battle ever fought in the history of our earth. This was not Spartans wiping out Persians with ease. This was Spartan vs Spartan door to door.
This was Slav vs Slav in door to door combat. I cannot even imagine how brutal this was. Ukraine had their best Nazi fighters in Bakhmut. True believers going all the way back to WW2. Vicious fighters.
On the Russian side, you had the Wagner Group. A privatized army made up of Russian prisoners. Your sentence is annulled if you perform for Russia in the military campaign.
Wagner group won. No Russian National military lost. They controlled the flank and encircled the city, but left all door to door fighting up to the Wagner Group.
Next up.
The counter offensive by the USA led Ukrainians. This is the most sad. Truly terrifying. Our Government sent so many people to their death. In 2 months over 200k Ukrainians lost their lives and no one on the Russian side died. Complete slaughter.
They were led to believe that USA had ISR and EW capabilities that surpassed Russia.
This was not true.
Going to add some Colonel Douglas McGregor quotes to the article now. Been watching him for last few years.
“Our Navy is comprised of targets and submarines.” Meaning? Our surface fleet is not guarded against the modern weapons our enemy now has. Russia jokes about our Capital ships being in range of their hypersonic missiles. Why? They can destroy our aircraft carriers at anytime. Why they have focused on submarines for last 40 years.
“Everyone rank colonel and above needs to be replaced immediately by lower ranked officers.”
Our officer class is a joke. Complete idiots. Why would the Pentagon authorize that Ukrainian counter offensive? They are stupid. Complete slaughter. 200k dead Ukrainians in 2 months, because Russian ISR EW is better than ours. In the SOTU address Mr. Lazarus gave? I saw a dude dressed in a female Air Force uniform. Really?
“tanks are a relic of the past”
Why would we send tanks to battle when Russia sees them in real time and has drones, artillery and rockets that can destroy them.
“Russia has not spent the last 40 years teaching itself how to kill people that live in caves and fight with RPG, AK47 and IED. They have been training how to fight a nation that has satellites in space and ISR EW capabilities.
Sad, but true.
Last quote.
“Russian MIC is designed to kill people and destroy shit. Americas is designed to make companies and politicians rich.”
We spend over 1 trillion a year on defense when you include intelligence. Russia spends less than 70 billion and has a better and more capable military.
Latest battle?
The eastern Donbass assault by Russia.
Russia has still not engaged their military in direct conflict. A million man army that has been training to fight the USA from the start. They are holding their best back in reserve for potential conflict with us.
The current fight is being done by ethnic Russian Ukrainians. All of the fighting you see now is Ukrainian on Ukrainian.
It was talked about by many in the MMA community. No way is Trump going to make the fight.
Hell, he is still speaking at his rally in Rome, Georgia and the fight card is about to happen.
Yet, as the fights begin, there is Trump in Miami, Florida.
My thought on this?
When Trump moves?
The world stops.
On the road, all effort is made for him. In the air? Traffic rerouted.
Why would they make such an effort for an ex president?
Someone recently posted a video of a guy being interrogated by russians that did not make it out of donestk.
They were keeping his head down the whole time.
They were trying to figure out how if he was Asov and he admitted to being in an Asov unit but only for 2 weeks.
He kept saying he was ordered to the unit.
These black people testifying in the Atlanta Trump case are so damn stupid.
They actually try to sound smart, but it is like they got their smarts from a cartoon.
They have the thinking of an 11 year old, but are grown ass adults.
Wtf.
So damn stupid.
Was wondering if any anons know about the Philadelphia fire and records lost pertaining to ww2 troops.
Supposedly, my paternal grandfather parachuted into Okinawa before invasion. Seems insane, but not unbelievable.
His records were burnt and he died soon after to a drunk driver.
A year later, his brother died to a drunk driver.
Both liked to drink and talk.
I friggin hate basically, all liberals.
They are all dog shiat stupid.
Bret Weinstein is the exception. Good guy. His brother, Eric? Total Douchebag. Worst of humankind.
Bret is a good guy, tho.
Love how he calls elites, rent control people.
For those unaware?
About 5 years ago, got burnt out at my professional job and started ubering.
Love it, but please tip safe drivers. They are not delivering food to a table.
They are risking their life and greatest asset for most (their car) to get you to your destination.
A tale of two people in need
First one was a woman at the QT gas station. I stopped to fill up. She approached me and said her thermostat went out and needed to get a new one at autozone.
She had sad face and looked very distressed.
Seen this play so many times. 53 years old and it is very common at the gas pumps late at night.
Told her, no "cannot help her".
She put her hands on her head and gave a convincing "woe is me" back into the car.
Car stood still until i went into the QT.
I did my business then came back out and got in car.
That girl? The one with broken car?
She was circling the QT parking lot as a passenger with the most pissed off look on her face.
As she passed in front of me, i could see a huge bald spot on the back of her head.
Please bare with me. This was not the mark of a cancer person or maybe it was.
It was a marker of someone that was not a good person. Hard to explain.
Saw it and immediately felt it.
Pure evil.
Two hours later, i meet Christopher. A black homeless guy with a blanket wrapped around his body asking if i can help out.
This is off Lancaster street in fort worth.
He says, im a Navy Vet that got booted from the military for something i did and went to prison.
He further said, going through a rough patch.
I asked him, " what is your mos"
He replied back, a very impressive skill set of duties he did in the Navy.
Then he says, were you Army? No, i replied, just a lot of my family served in Army.
He then said "mos is skill set for army. In navy it is rates."
This guy in a blanket.
I was looking him in the eye and it was opposite of the evil i saw earlier from that girl scamming the people at gas pumps.
i told him there was a bad storm coming in and did he have shelter.
He replied, "thank you for saying that. Had no idea a front was coming through. Have no phone."
Well, i asked him after giving my 5 one dollar bills and about 2 dollars in change, if there was anything else i could do?
He said someone else gave him food earlier and i just gave him some cash.
Nothing else he needs other than blessing.
Asked him if he was good at numbers. He chuckled and said yes. His rates was radar and other technical.
Told him, gonna take you to QT. Same QT as evil lady.
Your spending limit is 30, but ok to get close to 40.
At the end, shook his hand and thanked him for his service.
He said, "it has been so many years since someone like you, shook my hand."
My reply?
"God Bless you, Christopher. Storm is about to hit. Hunker down and hope to see you again."
Taylor swift produces music like we take a shiat in the morning.
None of it is good.

Fyi, mozart sucks. 13 year old degenerate. Never loved and cared for a woman.
Twitter, Facebook and Google are all government controlled.
Most likely, CIA. That is one of their expert abilities. Media control.
Dates back to the 1950's with project Mockingbird.
So how does Twitter get under the control of elon musk?
This is a platform that can change world governments.
No way the CIA allows it to change hands unless Musk is under their control.
Or maybe something else.
The CIA came after the NSA hard with the snowden release. I am not a fan of snowden. I think he was a bad actor working for CIA.
The NSA is pissed off and decides to take control of Twitter and place their favorite autist in control, elon musk.
To be honest, sounds a bit crazy, but i actually think, that is how it happened.

Pretty damn sure Ben Shapiro was showcased on Johnny Carson at 11 or 12 years old.
Why?
Groomed for controlled opposition for the right.
Cannot find that clip today.
To be fair, it is possible he does not even have a clue.
MKultra? Or he is just a douche.
Listening to a debate between Shapiro and Destiny on Lex Friedman. It is a colossal defeat for the idiot debating him.
Of course.
Shapiro is crazy good at debating, but never trust him.
I so much want to love Tucker Carlson, because he says such based things these days, but.
He is his father's son.
His dad did work for the Clowns as a propogandist with voice for america.
My philosophy has always been. Pay attention to what they do not say, not what they are saying.
What has Tucker not said?
3 big ones imo.
- Trump 2020 election fraud. Silent as a mouse.
- Coordinated overreach of govts worldwide on covid measures and the deadly effects of the vax.
Lastly and probably the most damning.
- Our money going to Ukraine and this proxy war with Russia. We could actually not wake up one day, because that bear facing an existential moment?
Decides to launch.
I often think of Rommel's radio operator while they were in Africa.
That radio guy was given a very direct order.
Message comes in and given to SS attache, then Rommel.
Rommel told his operator, "yes, do that, but! If anything comes through that is questionable, run it by me first."
Now, the radio operator has a conundrum.
Follow HItler or Rommels order.
He followed Rommel.
As a result?
The English POW, Captain Desmond Young was spared and would later write the definitive biography of Rommel, 'The Dessert Fox'.
Rommel was given orders to kill all his POW's on retreat from Africa.
Instead?
He gave them a compass and water.
Why is this so damn hard. I have no insurance to cover it and everyone i talk to wants to know my insurance.
I just want to talk to people that have a drinking issue.
Wtf. Why are such things so hard?
Trying to clean up my drinking.
Just spent last 3 weeks in S Africa. My BIL house builder introduced me to Rugby. He played semi pro, think they call it provincial.
We watched the Springbok vs All Blacks game.
S Africa vs New Zealand.
New Zealand destroyed S Africa. Uwe, my BIL builder explained that S Africa is handicapped big time. They can only have 50% Afrikaans and rest of team, blacks.
What i saw was the most physical man to man ever. Had no clue.
80 minutes with 1 ten minute break. Zero commercials during play.
I asked him, "do you know who Derek Henry is?"
He chuckled, "yeah and I know more than 30 people that never played pro rugby that would annihilate him in a 10 yard face off."
I believed him.
Our world is not as it seems in so many ways.
Was not really celebrating. Do not care much for the French. More of a sign of respect for their holiday, so put on the beret.
Funny thing, tho. There are no French in South Africa anymore, lol.
They are all assimilated into the dutch Afrikaan.
Anyway, was in Franshoek Huguenot Memorial Museum and there was this gigantic relief.
Biggest, in the museum and think it will resonate with many of you.
The Huguenot's made their way from France to South Africa in late 17th century.
That relief says,
"You have to understand no one puts their children in a boat unless the water is safer than the land".
It is profound to me. We think travel by water is pretty safe, but back then? Possible death sentence.
Living next to your land neighbor was a certain death sentence.
Mod's, i get it. This is not exactly Q message appropriate, but the Anon's are here.

I have always loved this guy. Reminds me of my dad.
During the interview, he says Hollywood seduces you with money, luxury and the threat to take it away.
He said he knew from his early childhood on the streets, the threat.
Wish he were alive today to see what Hollywood has become and offer his thoughts.
We have lost too many wise men and women.
It often feels like we live in an age of darkness.
Went from 350 lbs to 238 as of today. Over 110 lbs lost.
It is not easy and not fast.
But? It friggin works 100%.
One of the most fascinsting things i have discovered?
Ok, let me rewind a little.
I love to uber at night on weekends. Love the people and the interesting stuff that happens.
Well, about three years ago, McDonald's stopped selling their salads because of covid. I never really ate fast food unless as a convenience.
It was the only thing i would eat late at night.
Stopped eating late at night.
Soon, realized i was losing weight. I was doing these crazy 14 hour drives and not eating.
When i looked at my eat schedule, it was 16 to 18 hours with no food.
Then, came across a facebook post about intermittent fasting and was like, damn, beem doing that for last 6 months.
Did a big 6 month Uber bender, lol.
Never ate fast food. Wendys salads were not for sale because they close early and McDonald's took them off menu.
Here is the interesting part.
I cannot eat any fast food anymore, except from 2 restaurants.
If someone gets in my car with whataburger, jack the box, sonic, wendys, you name them?
I want to vommit from the smell.
But, i can comfortably still eat food from chik fil la and in and out?
Both of those companies have 1 thing in common.
They are believers in faith from the founders.
My question is this.
Not a God thing, but rather, did the founders of these companies purposely not put garbage into the food for an exra buck?
Is the reason, the food does not disgust me, is because the chemicals others put in are not there?
I find it interesting that they are the only 2 fast food restaurants that do not disgust me upon the smell test.
In the Movie, Book of Eli, Denzel Washington has God's hand. After this verdict and everything thrown at Kyle, it is very similar.
Gods hand.
Kyle will never have to buy a beer or meal again in his life!
God Bless him!!!
Was talking to a friend tonight that spent 5 years in a DOD SCIF.
Let me preface.
In years of talking to this friend they have never told me anything they saw or did in the SCIF. True ironclad on the security.
Anyway, they said something interesting to me tonight.
When they went for intelligence training, one of the first things they were taught was, all classified information is actually unclassified.
"You just have to be smart enough to piece it together"
So i asked them, "kind of like Sundance at CTH about Russiagate and the current barrage of doctors talking out about Covid and the vaccines"?
" and about Q"
They replied, "Yes, precisely"
I apologize for use of they as pronoun. Hopefully, it is understood.

Her coach told her prior to her vault, you must get a 10. She went on to score 2 10's in a row.
Amazing.
Simone wore GOAT on her leotard, but withdrew because of pressure?
Mary Lou might not have performed the difficulty of modern gymnasts, but the pressure was the same.
Worth a look as a great reminder.
