The smart way to win wars is to shape the battlefield. It’s also called battlefield preparation. I believe that the Arab League and its allies have finished laying the groundwork for the final phase of the Syrian war. Final may not mean soon Although the fighting may not stop in the immediate future, it’s clear…
Purpose of American troops in the Middle East
May 20, 2023
US troops in the Middle East are part of Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve. Their purpose is to defeat the Islamic State. Nothing else. The reason I’m saying this is because of a tweet I saw. Azaz is where Syrian Kurds, Islamist rebels, the Islamic State, and Bashar al-Assad’s allies are all fighting…
PKK video of helicopter shot down is fake
May 19, 2023
I wasn’t going to write about this, but a western fanboy of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party or PKK made me decide to grind his face into his childish gullibility. I’m sick of smug imbeciles attacking me for no reason. Since they have no factual knowledge, they always resort to personal insults. They’re trying to drive…
Secular humanism and the wonderful job it does
May 17, 2023
Although I’m a theist, I’m not religious. Still, nothing irritates me more than secular humanists telling me that the religious are stupid. In reality, secular humanism robs everyone of common sense. It’s the religious who will save the world’s collective rear end. Secular dogma Anti-theists have created the stupidest religion in human history. It’s the…
Moral preening is terminal cultural decadence
May 16, 2023
First off: I don’t hate all Irish people. When I meet an Irish person, I don’t have any feelings one way or another. Irishness has no moral content for me. But for twenty-five years, I hated the Irish. It’s because the Provisional Irish Republican Army—not an army; a band of alcoholic terrorists—nearly killed my brother…
Preference cascade is underway in the Middle East
May 15, 2023
I never tell people how to think or feel. Everyone has to figure things out for themselves. However, I personally never believed that all Muslims are untrustworthy. I didn’t think that the Middle East would change as rapidly as it is, but I knew that someday things would be different. Now, we’re seeing a full-tilt…
Gradual unveiling of the new Middle East is taking place
May 14, 2023
Several months ago I began theorizing about what was happening in the Middle East. Now, the people changing the region have decided to reveal the new reality: Israel and the Arab League are allies, and Arab strategic special operators are possibly the best soldiers in human history. I came to my conclusions in a gradual…
Medication made me do this. I apologize
May 13, 2023
I’m on a new medication, which scrambles my brains and makes me tired. And pee. So here’s a passage from my book Ghosts and Ballyhoo. I used to be a music journalist. That forced me to spend a lot of time in Hollywood. Also, my 2007 iMac can’t handle OS 10.11.4 El Capitan. Thus I…
