Allegory.
There are at most two Whites in this Freak Show. One is neutered and the other is dead.
There is no Constitutional means to free ourselves from those who rule over us and those who spread corruption far and wide. Remember that the only “law” that exists in the US is whatever the elites say it is. As they see it, they matter; you do not. The 3 letter agencies do whatever they damn well please. Their only competitors are other 3 letter agencies, the Pentagon and the State Department.
Go ahead and scream at the top of your lungs, “But it is illegal to spy on American citizens!” Do you feel better now? There are also those who actually believe that all that has to be done is to get rid of those 3 letter agencies. Oh really? Every one of their members hates your guts and all are well-armed. You can even believe the very well-fed Sean Hannity who bloviates that there are good men in Washington DC. Really? Where the Hell are they? Have any of these “good men” spoken out?
I am no Nostradamus but I make a pretty good Cassandra. It will get worse before it gets better—if it gets better.
So embrace the suck, enjoy the decline, and keep your powder dry. Just because the Four Horsemen are riding our way does not mean that you cannot have a good time.
“…well armed”? Compared to Montgomery County MD, maybe. Yeah, they got some no-kidding pipehitters on the payroll/contract but they’re gonna run through them pretty fast when things go broad-spectrum kinetic.
We’ve got a lot more work than just eliminating the “three letter agencies” and there are plenty of folks to help with the lifting.
Certainly “well-armed” by the lights of any other 3-letter agency. “Well-armed” compared to American citizens? Nope. We are better armed, better gunned, better manned and no doubt better looking. 150,000,000 against 85,000? Ok, I’ll take those odds.
how about hanging a goddam Baltimore Orioles cap on one of the little flagstaffs?
what a castration.
“Nice Adam’s Apple ya got there, uh, ma’am.”
I just threw up in my mouth.
I once wrote an essay at OCS that the commandant wanted me to publish. It was a response to a book the army publishes about the role of the US Army within the US. Without going long, the army serves the republic so long as it reflects the values of the citizenry. Americans don’t want a large standing army; never have. The unfortunate circumstance of a largish standing army has been brought about by the post WWII and the WWII eras. Because: Cold War. All to say that the army must align with the values of the US (although I dislike the phrase, it works here).
GEN Milley will go down in history as worse that Benedict Arnold, for his unhinging and violation of the social contract Americans have enjoyed with their military.
Milley’s only the latest in a long line. Anybody know the name of the “authority” who decided male ROTC cadets should march about in ACU’s and high heels? A thorough housecleaning is in order.
Gary Hart wrote a good book in the 90’s titled “An Army of the People” outlining an alternative to our bloated “military”.
O fuhk me I’m sure Kerry’s book was a real winner.
NOT “Kerry” …Gary Hart.
Do please pay attention…
I was reeling from that picture of the swell navy “woman”.
I always thought Gary Hart and John Kerry were the same guy, anyway. Prove me wrong.
Gary Hart, John Kerry: both pieces of dung.
