    The general tone of it is exactly the reaction of the British Army to industrialization around 1900. More and more of the would-be trainees were unfit for service.

    The secondary tone raised is very John Birch, so as to blame "the Communists" or something similar for disaffecting domestic quality in this way.


    I would say it is obviously partly true in the physical sense, but I disagree with the ideological response.

    So far "nothing shocking" about the exorbitant military use of cash when there is none. Ok.

    No one wants war. But would it make sense to run on NO new wars, only to have your adversaries believe they can take advantage of that agenda.?
    Would it make sense to not protect your nation, which is the Presidents no 1 agenda , from a pending war because you ran on it?
    Don't you need to read the play?
    There must be some reason for this and I am willing to say, I dont know

    But Doug, no nation is going to 'declare war' on the US. There are two large oceans in the way.

    (Of course, 5th generation hybrid warfare may already be well in progress, with all kinds of sabotage cells sitting quietly in the US ready to be activated. That's a very real possibility. So are the BRICS counter-dollar initiatives, and even highly disguised covert assassinations. (One of those may have happened recently.) But a missile attack, or a 'Red Dawn' style invasion, no.)

    My own personal guess is that this is all about a very hot war soon to be launched against Iran.

    If that happens, the very great likelihood is that Israel will emerge significantly disempowered and humiliated, and the US significantly embarrassed. That embarrassment could also lead to Trump's downfall in one form or another.

    The wild card here is Israel's possible use of nuclear weapons once it's backed into a tight corner. (That may even be Israel's plan.) But if THAT happens, despite devastation throughout in the Middle East, Israel will be destroyed completely and will pretty much cease to exist.

    I don't actually think that nukes will be used, and a while back I wrote on several threads that I felt very sure of that. But I have to confess I'm not quite so certain now, and it definitely doesn't seem absolutely, completely, impossible.

    Much better to be prepared than not.. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.. I don’t believe this was about new standards.. I believe there were some meetings before or afterwards behind closed doors with generals that could be trusted.. One thing for sure they didn’t want to talk about anything that could be intercepted.. In person was the only way to prevent leaks..

    US Navy Ret’d career officer and current miltuber Ward “Mooch” Carrol opines on the Big Powwow.

    He notes that in his current role as an educator (my description), he calls “balls and strikes”, from his position of experience. F-14 (plane in Top Gun) back seater, teacher in a military college, and lead guitarist to this day in a ~rock band.

    I find value in his comments. Vid length is 1:10:94, and he ~said he chose the most useful bits to look at. Was critical of some of Hegseth’s points, supportive of (seemed to me, didn’t count them) of the majority, and gave what sounded like good reasons.

    His reaction to the CIC’s following appearance and talk was almost all critical, meaning negative. And not much of that talk is included.

    Me though, about one of the few clips of Donny, where he mugs Jimmy Hendrix saying ~”it’s tough to follow you” as a stage act, I laughed. Because he knows himself, and, he just saw his Minista o’ Waa knock it out of the park.

    Bojan man, take heart! Your arch nemesis has been eviscerated by MOOCH! Hehe.

    Deep Intel on the Hegseth/Trump Speech to Admirals and Generals at Quantico

    Sept 30, 2025

    Quote Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called a short-notice meeting that happened early this morning, September 30, of all U.S. military generals and admirals – one star and above – along with their senior enlisted leaders at Marine Corps University located aboard Quantico Marine Corps base about 30 miles south of Washington DC.

    The meeting was for those in command billets only as opposed to those in staff billets. It’s unclear exactly how many military officers attended, but estimates from some sources go as high as 1,000 personnel. The Pentagon didn’t not publish a public agenda or give any indication what the unprecedented gathering was for, and reports suggested that the high-ranking attendees, which included combatant commanders in charge of the Middle East and western Pacific areas of responsibility, were also unaware of why they’d been summoned on such short notice, basically given four days to clear their calendars and get to Quantico.

    In this livestream, Mooch reviews the highlights of the event.

    Hi Bill…
    You are probably right about Iran. Things are hotting up. Still not sure about the Nuclear scenario though. Let’s hope it doesn’t.

    Satan's accomplice along with its many loyal, and or blackmailed subjects don't want to do any jail time for crimes never to be exposed much less even mentioned.

    Distractions work wonders, especially manufactured ones such as wars, of which currently there's a whole list to choose from and ignite still further.

    Such is the nature of the beast.

    One false flag or several and....

    BOOM, everything is toast.

    Prepare accordingly, trust in God, and go grab some popcorn.

    Edit more below…

    Hal Turner

    The Islamic Republic of Iran Army and the IRGC are on high alert, with Iranian media and officials warning of an imminent confrontation with the United States and Israel.

    UPDATE 10:00 AM EDT —

    President Trump just signed an executive order: ANY attack on Qatar = a direct threat to the United States.

    Remember: the largest U.S. airbase in the Middle East is in Qatar. And in the last 24 hours, dozens of American fighter jets and refueling tankers have been shifted eastward — many landing at Al-Udeid Airbase.

    This isn’t routine diplomacy. This looks like the U.S. setting the legal and military stage for an Iranian strike that could come from Qatari soil.

    The order states:

    “The United States shall regard any armed attack on the territory, sovereignty, or critical infrastructure of the State of Qatar as a threat to the peace and security of the United States.

    In the event of such an attack, the United States shall take all lawful and appropriate measures — including diplomatic, economic, and, if necessary, military — to defend the interests of the United States and of the State of Qatar.”

    Well, a war is a legal state of affairs with a goal in mind. A War on Drugs or a War on Terror is mindless.

    It's not a word we should toss around in every headline; it's intellectually dishonest.

    Qatar is not part of the United States. What has come out is the Truman Doctrine, "We have to fight them over there, otherwise we will have to fight them here".

    Republicans are formed around this imaginary Chinese invasion since the 1850s. They have been making up this delirium the whole time. Nothing new has come out of this meeting. It reeks of McCarthyism.

    It's not a viable political platform, it's a panic to overpower things they don't understand.

    Daniel Davis, Deep Dive with

    Colonel Douglas Mcgregor,

    The US prepares for war,



    Doug argues that despite President Trump’s claims of having ended wars (and his push for a Nobel), evidence shows the U.S. appears to be re-arming and positioning forces for renewed conflict in the Middle East. Key points:

    The Trump 21-point “peace plan” for Israel–Hamas is described as effectively dead on arrival because what Netanyahu accepted differs significantly from what was proposed, making an actual peace settlement unlikely.

    With the plan failing, Israeli leadership may prepare for a new phase of intense military action in Gaza — including massive bombing campaigns — potentially increasing civilian casualties dramatically.

    U.S. military assets are reportedly moving toward the region (tanker/air refuelers, large gravity bombs, older Tomahawk cruise missiles), which the guests interpret as preparation for possible strikes and a sign the U.S. is conserving high-end missile inventory.

    There are signs of high-level coordination: recent meetings between Netanyahu and Trump, and a gathering of senior U.S. generals, are read as aligning assets and plans.

    The discussion raises the prospect that Israel could open a wider front against Iran to distract from Gaza; Iran has warned it would retaliate against both Israel and U.S. targets if attacked.

    Analysts caution that Iranian integrated air defenses have improved but are not at full effectiveness, which some see as an incentive to strike sooner rather than later.

    The guests doubt that decapitating Iran’s leadership would collapse the regime and warn that Iranian society may be more cohesive and resilient than U.S./Israeli planners assume.

    Political dynamics matter: U.S. public opinion and congressional support are shifting, and Israel is reportedly investing in social-media influence to shore up support — factors that could affect timing and scope of future actions.

    Overall tone: the episode warns that political rhetoric about “peace” is at odds with military preparations and that a renewed Israel–Iran conflict (with U.S. involvement or exposure) is a credible risk.

    Trump suffers public brain rot (11:31)
    Trump delivers a bizarre speech to generals about non existing civil inner city 'disturbances' in LA, Chicago & New York. This was pure Nazi propaganda. It was an open invitation for the general staff to either support the military suppression of its citizens or get rid of Trump.

    I guess the meeting did not address this:


    Quote The United States government shutdown has entered a third day after the Senate failed to reach a deal on a crucial spending bill before observing Yom Kippur.

    The Senate floor was open on Thursday, but it did not vote due to the holiday, Judaism’s holiest day of the year, Al Jazeera reported.

    The next vote is set for Friday, but the chances of success appear slim.

    Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters a weekend vote is “unlikely,” which means the shutdown will likely continue into next week.

    Both Republican and Democratic spending bills have failed to reach the 60 out of 100 vote threshold to pass, as senators continue to vote largely down party lines.

    Trump has also threatened to use the shutdown to slash the federal workforce, going against the longstanding practice of furloughing hundreds of thousands of workers.

    He said on Truth Social that he had met with Russ Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, “to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent”.

    White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also confirmed on Thursday that cuts were “likely going to be in the thousands”.

    The White House has already frozen $26bn in programs in Democratic states like California, New York, and Illinois.

    I'm not sure anything addresses this. I would say the combination of non-management of domestic resources, together with mega preparation for overseas wars that supposedly "no one wants to fight" ranks the federal entity as a complete failure.

    Why anyone thinks it can be "fixed" is beyond me.
