Washington Post becomes propaganda arm of the Islamic State

I learned during the 2014 Gaza war that western journalists support jihadist terrorists. The main reason is bigotry. Western journalists don’t see jihadist terrorists as adults with the same brains as non-Muslim Europeans and Americans. To the average western journalist, Muslims are cute little aboriginals who can’t really do any harm. This is why the…

Intuition is a skill that almost anybody can easily learn

An ability to know something without requiring proof or evidence. That’s intuition. I do use evidence for my micro-theories. For example, when I wrote that Israel and the Arab League jointly developed new weapons. First I saw a video. The soldier walked away uninjured. Because the video purports to show an American BGM-71 TOW antitank…

Echolalia is a disorder. Get some help so that you can stop

In the last few years of his life, my father developed echolalia. “Where are you going?” I’d ask. “Where are you going?” he’d answer. Echolalia is the mindless repetition of what others say. My father had diabetes that he refused to manage. It wreaked havoc with his thought processes. The rest of you have no…

Turkish tank miraculously reattaches man’s severed head

The Great Turkish Purge continues. This is what I read during the middle of the “attempted coup.” Yet here’s what’s happening today. It appears that about 900 men in tanks and light armored vehicles actively participated. We know that somebody fooled an unknown percentage of them into thinking it was military exercises. Turkish officials are…

Antithesis: the exact opposite of something or someone

I love the word antithesis. Here’s a perfect example. This video is the antithesis of what you think. No, the fat man did not knock out the other guy. In fact the fat man is lucky that he landed his first punch. Only that blow connected. That’s a “sucker punch”: You catch the target completely…

Monsters are due on Maple Street. And in Tehran

Once again I find myself stunned. Yesterday we saw the most brilliant military operation of all time. The inspiration for this ingenious attack was Episode 22, Season One, of the TV series The Twilight Zone. “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” is the title of the episode. If you haven’t seen it, I won’t…

Understanding munitions allows you to know the truth

Journalists are utterly useless. Social media is full of lunatics with primitive tribal loyalties. “Experts” make fools of themselves in their rush to have an opinion. Everything all of them say is garbage. I’ll tell you the only thing that matters about the attempted Turkish coup. Understanding munitions will let you see it. Understanding Turkey…

Blueprint for defeating terrorism was created in 2004

By now you know that a terrorist killed at least 84 people in Nice, France. He injured more than 100. The reason he was able to do this is that the French aren’t serious about fighting terrorism. However, there is a deadly serious blueprint for completely defeating terrorism. Saudi Arabia created it in 2004. Blueprint…

Transparency is a vainglorious notion that loses wars

Last night I realized that the Arab League war-fighting doctrine is “counterinsurgent insurgency” (COIN-IN). In order for COIN-IN to succeed, it must be clandestine. That means that politicians and the military must junk the concept of transparency. President Obama’s words read like lines from a bad movie. This has no bearing on reality. The ugly…
