Its been two years since I wrote on this topic. At that time, at least 36% of U.S. mass shooters had been trained by the U.S. military. Since then, a grand total of nobody at all has written on the topic.

Im picking it up again, because people have started asking about it, prompted by a former Marine using apparently trained skills to murder a subway rider in New York, and shooters in Atlanta and Texas actually being identified as veterans in news reports an extreme rarity.

However, working from the database of mass shooters created by Mother Jones, I cannot include the Atlanta shooter, who did not kill at least four people, and I cannot include any strangulations, because those are not shootings. In fact, the recent Texas mass shooter is the only one of the 15 cases Ive added to the database from the past two years whom Ive been able to identify as a veteran. There have of course been more than 15 shootings, but most of them dont make it into the Mother Jones database, and some that do I eliminate in order to create a meaningful comparison. In the United States, 14.76% of the general population (male, 18-59) are veterans. By limiting my database to male U.S. citizen mass shooters, aged 18-59, I can point out that 32% of them are veterans.

Needless to say, out of a country of over 330 million people a database of 122 mass shooters is a very small group. Needless to say, statistically, virtually all veterans are not mass shooters. But that can hardly be the reason for not a single news article ever mentioning that mass shooters are over twice as likely to be veterans as the general population. After all, statistically, virtually all males, mentally ill people, domestic abusers, Nazi-sympathizers, loners, and gun-purchasers are also not mass-shooters. Yet articles on those topics proliferate like NRA campaign bribes.

There seem to me to be two key reasons that a sane communications system would not censor this topic. First, our public dollars and elected officials are training and conditioning huge numbers of people to kill, sending them abroad to kill, thanking them for the service, praising and rewarding them...

The May 11, 2022, killing of Al-Jazeera Arabic correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh is part of a deadly, decades-long pattern. Over 22 years, CPJ has documented at least 20 journalist killings by members of the Israel Defense Forces. Despite numerous IDF probes, no one has ever been charged or held responsible for these deaths. The impunity in these cases has severely undermined the freedom of the press, leaving the rights of journalists in precarity. A CPJ special report.

Its believed that, for thousands of years, certain members of human clans would wield some kind of magic stick. For example, heres one carved to look like a viper that was found in Finland. They claim its over 4,000 years old:

In some cultures, if the shaman or medicine man pointed such a stick at someone, that person would be immediately stricken dead. Stories abound across the globe of precisely this happening.

In many indigenous clans, the members would be raised to fear this stick from early childhood and thus, never do anything to cause it to be aimed at them. After centuries of conditioning, this conviction became sacrosanct.

Even if that stick contained no magic at all, belief al...

The Kremlin revealed on Wednesday that itll formally withdraw from the long-defunct Treaty on Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) that it had already partially suspended participation in and then pulled out of its mechanisms in 2007 and 2015 respectively due to NATO failing to fulfill its commitments. This arms control pact did exactly what its name implies by limiting the deployment of conventional forces in Europe, the purpose of which was to preemptively avert future security dilemmas.

That noble goal was sabotaged by the US as part of its global power play that began after the former Bush Administrations withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty in 2002 on the false pretext of needing to build a missile defense shield in Europe to protect against Iran and North Korea. In reality, this was actually aimed at eventually neutralizing Russias nuclear second-strike capabilities in order to place it in a position of nuclear blackmail so as to coerce never-ending concessions from it.

Despite being defunct for eight years already, Russia had thus far been reluctant to formally withdraw from the CFE Treaty since it held out hope (naively in hindsight) of US-led NATO once again complying with this pact as part of the larger deal that it sought to negotiate with the West. Even after Moscow was compelled to commence its special operation in Ukraine, its leadership still thought that the Wests return to the CFE Treaty could factor into a forthcoming peace treaty for reforming European security.

The timing behind this decision, being over one year since the start of this proxy wars latest phase, suggests that some of the subsequent events that unfolded since then were most responsible for the Kremlins recalculations in this respect. In particular, this likely concerns the...

For approximately a week, the Kiev regime has been claiming it shot down one of Russias hypersonic missiles, specifically the 9-A-7660 Kinzhal. According to the unsubstantiated (to say the least) claims, on May 4, air defense units deployed in and around Kiev shot down one of the air-launched hypersonic missiles allegedly fired by Russian Aerospace Forces. Various local sources published images supposedly proving the incident took place. In the first two days, the news went largely unreported by non-Ukrainian sources, but on May 6, CNN, the infamous neoliberal mouthpiece and the flagship of the mainstream propaganda machine among news networks, broke the story in the political West.

According to CNN, commander of the Neo-Nazi juntas air force, three-star General Mykola Oleshchuk, announced in a Telegram post that a Russian Kinzhal [commonly designated as Kh-47M2 by various media sources] was inbound until being successfully intercepted using American Patriot missiles. The intercept supposedly took place on Thursday night, with the Kiev regime forces claiming this is the first time the much-touted US Patriot SAM (surface-to-air missile) system shot down a target, and no less than a hypersonic one. The aforementioned images published by various sources show an object which indeed seems to have been hit by the Patriots kinetic kill vehicle.

Yes, we shot down the unique Kinzhal, General Oleshchuk stated, adding: It happened during the night time attack on May 4 in the skies of the Kyiv region.

Oleshchuk claims that the missile was launched by a MiG-31K jet from the Russian territory and was then shot down with a missile fired by a battery of Patriot SAM systems. In a separate statement from Neo-Nazi juntas air force spokesman Yurii Ihnat, given to Kiev-based Channel 24, he was boasting about the US-made Patriots supposedly proven capabilities:

They were saying that the Patriot is an outdated American weapon, and Russian weapons are the best in the world. Well, there is confirmation that it effectively works against even a super hypersonic missile successful interception of the Kinzhal is a slap in the face for Russia.

It is indeed a tale of many cities, worlds, perspectives, and then we have beliefs and morals. Add to that alternative and ulterior modes of realities, and we have a virtual Babels Tower of conflicting, contradicting and confusing form of discourse, or debate.  Never mind the Matrix angle of things! In todays Western Culture (sic), where I am firmly rooted (USA, West Coast, Rural Oregon, Tourist By-way, Retired & Service Economy),  there is not so much nuance anymore, inside the souls hearts and minds of my fellow Americans. When you really look at it, nuance (deep thinking, considering multiple ideas, counter-intuitive thinking, and conceptualizing contradictory  debates), or lack thereof, means lack of not only critical thinking, or even a deep mire into not only dumb-downing and infantilization, but of self-delusion, amnesia and agnotology.

Yet our distress comes from no failure of substance. We are stricken by no plague of locusts. Compared with the perils, which our forefathers conquered because they believed and were not afraid, we have still much to be thankful for. Nature still offers her bounty and human efforts have multiplied it. Plenty is at our doorstep, but a generous use of it languishes in the very sight of the supply. Primarily this is because the rulers of the exchange of mankinds goods have failed, through their own stubbornness and their own incompetence, have admitted their failure, and abdicated. Practices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of men. True they have tried, but their efforts have been cast in the pattern of an outworn tradition. Faced by failure of credit they have proposed only the lending of more money. Stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false leadership, they have resorted to exhortations, pleading tearfully for restored confidence. They know only the rules of a generation of self-seekers. They have no vision, and when there is no vision the people perish.

The money changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. We may now restore that temple to the ancient truths. The measure of the restoration lies in the extent to which we apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit.

Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. The joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. These dark days will be worth all they cost us if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered unto...

Its so inspiring that the Canadian military asked the public what it could change to get people to be willing to join. The obvious U.S. answer of poverty and grotesque prices for education probably wont work or at least may not be sufficient in the near term. And people would probably object to mandatory JROTC. Unfortunately, I missed the deadline to answer the survey, but I really want to help the Canadian military, so here are my answers to the questions:

Supporting our people

• How can National Defence modernize our approach to supporting a life in service, which has both unique rewards and unique challenges?
  Shift 100% of the budget to paying reparations to victims.
• What do prospective CAF members expect from their service?
  Moral injury, physical injury, global contempt, suicidal tendencies.
• How can the CAF increase its attractiveness in the 21^st century labour market?
  Lose the uniforms and the weapons. Murder is pass.
• What culture change reforms are needed to ensure that the CAF is a modern military that can implement its defence policy?
  Train the entire nation in unarmed civilian defense.

Building organizational capacity

• What insights might be adapted from other business sectors and the private sector writ-large to make Defence more effective and efficient?
  Other business sectors? Admitting that organized murder is a business is a bad look.
• How can DND/CAF best learn from innovators and entrepreneurs? Defence experts?
  Replace CANSEC weapons show with a gathering of experts in actual defence of human life and the environment.
• How often should the Defence Policy be reviewed and updated?
  Every time people catch on to its BS enough to ruin recruitment goals.
• How can ongoing engagement be reflected in that update?

The issue of food security has been in the news after Xi Jinpings recent article on agricultural self-reliance in Qiushi journal, a magazine published by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC). In this article, he pointed out that the Russia-Ukraine crisis has demonstrated that agriculture has become a foundation of national security and called for food self-sufficiency as one of the top priorities in the coming years. Even the government work report for 2023 has declared stabilization of grain output as one of the top priorities for the government and aims to achieve grain output of over 650 million tonnes (referred to as military order by Chinas agriculture minister), which has been continuously achieved since 2015 (Figure 1).

However, during the Xi era, Chinas per capita output of grains has increased only marginally from 462.5 kg in 2013 to 483.5 kg in 2021. This has resulted in growing dependency on imports during the same period, which, according to Xi, is a national security concern. This dependency has created several vulnerabilities for China which can be exploited in times of crisis. China is currently the largest producer as well as the largest importer of several other food items and thus, Chinas food security efforts will inevitably have an impact on the world.

(Figure 1) Source: National Bureau of Statistics

The Extent of Import Dependency

The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation has defined three levels of food self-sufficiency below 80% as food deficit, between 80%-120% as food self-sufficiency and above 120% as food surplus country. Chinas food self-sufficiency rate has decreased from 101.8% in 2000 to 76.8% in 2020 and is further expected to decrease to 65% by 2035 if timely measures are not put in place. Rising import dep...

Its a lose-lose situation for Ukrainians. While they are dying to defend their land, financial institutions are insidiously supporting the consolidation of farmland by oligarchs and Western financial interests.

So says Frdric Mousseau, Policy Director of the Oakland Institute, an independent think tank.

Depending on which sources to believe, between 100,000 and 300,000 Ukrainian soldiers (possibly more) have died during the conflict with Russia. That figure, of course, does not include civilian casualties.

The mainstream narrative in the West is that Russia grabbed Crimea and then invaded Ukraine. Russia is portrayed as the outright aggressor which wants to restore its control over large swathes of Europe. 

However, this narrative is false and has been debunked by various commentators who explain in some depth how Ukraine has been used and manipulated as part of a geopolitical campaign formulated by neoconservatives in Washington to destabilise Russia. 

The expansion of NATO towards the east, the US-backed coup in 2014 followed by eight years of the shelling of the ethnic Russian eastern parts of the country by the regime in Kyiv resulting in around 14,000 deaths led up to the military intervention by Russia, which regards the expansionism and militarism as an existential threat.

It is not the purpose of this article to explore these issues. Much has already been written on this elsewhere. But billions of dollars worth of military hardware has been sent to Ukraine by the NATO countries and hundreds of thousands of young Ukrainians have died. 

They died in the belief that they were protecting their nation their land. A land that is among the most fertile in the world.

Professor Olena Borodina of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine says:

Today, thousands of rural boys and girls, farmers, are fighting and dying in the war. They have lost everything. The processes of free land sale and purchase are increasingly liberalised and advertised. This really threatens the rights of Ukrainians to their land, for which they give their lives.

Borodina is quoted in the February 2023 report by the Oakland Institute in War and Theft: The Takeover of Ukraines Agricultural Land, which reveals how oligarchs and financial interests are expanding control...

Israel's Gaza offensive kills 21 Palestinians, prompting rocket fire at Tel Aviv

By Scott Horton | The Libertarian Institute | February 25, 2023

He wrote on October 17, 2001:

THE COMING CONFLICT: The sophisticated form of anthrax delivered to Tom Daschles office forces us to ask a simple question. What are these people trying to do? I think theyre testing the waters. They want to know how we will respond to what is still a minor biological threat, as a softener to a major biological threat in the coming weeks. They must be encouraged by the panic-mongering of the tabloids, Hollywood and hoaxsters. They must also be encouraged by the fact that some elements in the administration already seem to be saying we need to keep our coalition together rather than destroy the many-headed enemy. So the terrorists are pondering their next move. The chilling aspect of the news in the New York Times today is that the terrorists clearly have access to the kind of anthrax that could be used against large numbers of civilians. My hopes yesterday that this was a minor attack seem absurdly nave in retrospect. So they are warning us and testing us.

At this point, it seems to me that a refusal to extend the war to Iraq is not even an option. We have to extend it to Iraq. It is by far the most likely source of this weapon; it is clearly willing to use such weapons in the future; and no war against terrorism of this kind can be won without dealing decisively with the Iraqi threat. We no longer have any choice in the matter. Slowly, incrementally, a Rubicon has been crossed. The terrorists have launched a biological weapon against the United States. They have therefore made biological warfare thinkable and thus repeatable. We once had a doctrine that such a Rubicon would be answered with a nuclear response. We backed down on that threat in the Gulf War but Saddam didnt dare use biological weapons then. Someone has dared to use them now. Our response must be as grave as this new threat.

I know that this means that this conflict is deepening and widening beyond its initial phony stage. But what choice do we have? Inaction in the face of biological warfare is an invitation for more in a world where that is now thinkable. Appropriate response will no doubt inflame an already inflamed region, as people seek solace through the usual ideological fire. Either way the war will grow and I feel nothing but dread in my heart. But we didnt seek this conflict. It has sought us. If we do not wage war now, we may have to wage an even bloodier war in the very near future. These are bleak choices, but what else do we have?

Dog Poet Transmitting..

Day follows day with absurdity piled upon absurdity. From the top of the dung heap, the royalty of flies, feast upon the decaying matter that forms the altar they have built to themselves. It is naught but a filthy mirror, smeared with the offenses they have committed upon themselves and others.

There in the marketplace of useless things the merchants buy and sell. They rub their hands together. They are sure that a good deal went down deep and low. They are as sleek as otters surfing on an oil slick as it washes up on shore. Their expensive custom suits conceal the horizontal expansion of appetites indulged in at the expense of others whose lives and dreams they have consumed. Who can ever stop them?

They have purchased the governments. Law enforcement exists as their own army of rent-a-cops. They administer the cash register religions that have been further and further translated by them into the single dictate; me first, you later maybe. They crucified the one who lives still as a testament of what happens when you get out of line with the currency gobblers. Everything is backward and upside down.

From the cradle they have shaped the masses to see them as the rightful masters. They have fashioned the template of the temporal, and the controlled opposition too. You can go the wrong way in either direction! Its so fun! Life is a series of amusement park rides where cartoon characters sell you your weevil-ridden daily bread in Styrofoam shrink-wrap; with a straw.

From Pliny the Younger to Strictly from Hunger, your history is written for you to remember as something that happened at another time, as something that is happening now through acclamation, for this is the best of all possible worlds. From Candide to Candida, a fungus in the mind becomes a fungus from the mouth. It feeds on itself in a cannibal culture, where for some paradise is a parasite with no one the wiser.

They tell you this is the way it must be, and the way it always is. Better to be on the top than on the bottom, but in truth everything reverses itself. Existence is based on trading places. What you serve up gets served back to you. There is no workaround except for Grace. This is the inflexible law of action and reaction on every plane. On the higher planes, the residents have learned to exchange only the best of what they desire to receive. The lower down you go, the more brutish, callous, and uncaring it gets.

Introduction May 9, 2023

It should be borne in mind that President Putin has not entirely ruled out the possibility of a nuclear first strike, should Russia face an existential threat.

Thats why the recent flurry of activity among NATO surveillance aircraft, including planes that scrutinize the atmosphere for telltale signs of nuclear activity, should be a cause for concern.

Are the Western powers concerned that Russia may be preparing a nuclear strike on the West?

Large NATO Air Deployment w/ Nuke-Sniffer Aircraft

Hal Turner The Hal Turner Show May 9, 2023

Something seems to be up around the Russia-Ukraine conflict.  A large NATO air deployment is presently active; far larger than most prior air saturation.

We begin with A US Air Force Constant Phoenix which is a nuke-sniffer aircraft, running an odd air search pattern off the coast of the United Kingdom.  This aircraft takes air samples to detect the presence of nuclear material.  As seen on e radar tracking image below, the plane seems to be searching for what, may, be a deployed Russian POSEIDON nuclear drone, or submarines that carry such a drone.

Click to enlarge

Russia invented this unstoppable nuclear torpedo drone with the idea it can detonate a kilometer beneath the sea so as to generate a nuclear tsunami against the coastline of an enemy.  If that were to take place, a wave upwards of 1500 METERS tall (4500 feet) would wash-up on an enemy coastline, carrying deadly levels of radiation, and utterly smash everything within about twenty MILES of a coastline.

Worse, because that water would carry heavy doses of radiation, the enemy country would be unable to accommodate life for thousands of years!

Heres the aircraft search pattern:

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said peace negotiations to end the conflict in Ukraine were not possible at this moment, in an interview published by Spanish daily El Pais on Tuesday.

His statement came as the leaders of Russia and Ukraine both called for victory during events commemorating the end of World War II.

It is clear that the [two] parties are completely absorbed in this war and are convinced that they can win, the UN chief was quoted as saying by the newspaper.

Guterres said he hoped it was possible in the future to bring Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday at Moscows Red Square Victory Day parade that the world was at a turning point and claimed a war had been unleashed against Russia.

The day before, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed that Russian forces would be vanquished just as Nazism was defeated.

On Tuesday, Guterres received the Carlos V European Award, given to individuals and organizations that have contributed to the enhancement of Europes cultural and historical values or to EU integration.

Universal values, principles and ideas which unite us as the human family have not been under so much threat since the creation of the United Nations, Guterres said.

Thats why we have to raise our voice and reaffirm our values. And above all, we need peace, he added.

At least 65 military doctors and dentists in the Navy Reserves were told on Friday that they still had to undertake at least three more years of service, a shocking development caused by administrative record-keeping errors in their retirement credits, officials claimed as the U.S. military continues to face a historic decline in military recruits.

According to NBC News, multiple officers voiced their displeasure with the order, including one dentist who said, Theyre trying anyway possible to retain us, even if it is trying to strong-hand us.

To retire from the military with included benefits, members must serve a minimum of 20 years of qualifying service. Previously, physicians and dentists who successfully completed the Armed Forces Health Professionals Scholarship Program were credited with up to four years in retirement credits if they then followed up and joined the Selected Reserve the militarys main reservists force after completing their active-duty service requirements.

According to a 2002 Army memorandum, the Army, Navy and Air Force were using that credit as an incentive in an attempt to retain employees in the healthcare field, considered to be a critical wartime shortage specialty.

Starting last year, Navy Reserve members started to see their credit from participation in the program vanish off their official record. The Air Force and Army have confirmed that they do still include participation in the program as credit towards military retirement.

I feel like Im trapped, a doctor said. Its terrible. Its unfair. Its dishonorable.

In January 2022, one doctors record showed that he had completed 19 years of qualifying service. Six months later, it showed a decrease to 16 years.

Cmdr. Rick Chernitzer, a Navy Personnel Command spokesperson, stated to NBC News that a data migration issue within the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System prematurely credited four years of service credit to officers official records.

The clerical error previously permitted 95 people to retire with full benefits before being eligible, Chernitzer commented.

The Navy has said that the affected workers will still retain credit for their service during those years but only after they reach the required 20 years of qualifying service to officially retire. The military healthcare workers have voiced their complaints about the fact that this defeats the whole purpose of the promised recruitment incentive.

One of the dentists voiced his dissatisfaction and said he would not have accepted the offer in the first place had he known.

The four years was...

Tara Reade has previously and adamantly accused President Biden of sexually assaulting her in the 1990s and, as she prepares to testify in front of Congress on his alleged attack, she is making it very clear she is not suicidal and if anything happens to her, all roads lead to Joe Biden.

Reade is an author and podcast host who claimed in a 2019 first-person piece that Biden made unwanted sexual advances on her while she was working in his Senate office as an intern in 1993.

She made the statement in a cryptic message posted to Twitter, I want to make something clear. If something happens to me, all roads lead to Joe Biden. Joe Biden and DNC political machine threats, bullying and intimidation over the last three years will not work.

I am not suicidal. I should not be under investigation nor am I a foreign agent. I am a private citizen. I was a former staffer of Joe Bidens that has chosen to step forward to tell the truth. The tactics using intimidation and bullying to silence me and suppress me using DOJ and FBI and social media will not work. Leave me alone. I will testify under oath in Congress if asked to do so and tell what happened and what I know. The Biden corruption must end. Period Thank you @RepMTG and @mattgaetz for inviting me to testify and caring about the truth! Reade concluded.

During remarks before a screening of the Disney produced action comedy television series American Born Chinese, Joe Biden attempted to pronounce the names of some of those involved and suffered a complete mental breakdown.

The event was held to honour AANHPI heritage month, but as Biden attempted to gibber his way through his teleprompter comments, his brain stopped functioning.

Biden slurred some sounds and froze up for almost fifteen seconds before saying I think I pronounced that correctly, she can call me Joe Bidden.

The latest example of his mental incapacity came after Biden told the audience that he was basically good for nothing:
