Al Beinenfeld. who wrote that hit piece about Macgregor has the viewpoint of a sicko. Bienenfeld’s writing was glorious piece of: twisted logic, false analogies , false comparisons and spiteful hate.

Macgregor's points were correct, but Bienenfeld made the Colonel’s points to look like hate filled tropes.

Example: The Colonel said, Most Israeli weapons, in their origin, come from American. This is true. Beinefeld says, this is wrong. No Bienefeld, , your examples of Israeli weapons proves McGregor’s point. These systems had their basis in American systems. The Israelis did upgrades, mods and reengineering to create new systems. Another example of this is the Galil rifle. A great weapon, one of the best I have ever used. It was a synthesis of about 5 different combat rifles.

And to somehow equate Col Macgregor's actions, behavior and intent with the Protocols of Zion is absolutely shameful.

.

Read the article. It is an education in ad hominem, false argumentative and spite. A worthy piece of propaganda that is being used to silence those who do not follow the narrative.

For those of you old enough to remember: this is the same thing they tried to do to Pat Buchanan in the 80’s and 90’s. They tried to imply that the victim of such an article is an anti-semite just because the victim’s views did not follow the establishment party line. This is really sick and a sin.

And it's a disgrace that it was approved by editorial staff there who know better.

I posted about that on your most recent entry, not seeing that you two already covered it.

Nice hit job on Col. Macgregor.

The lack of author bio is frustrating. Seems the author is a retired developer/ builder, and descendent of German Jews.

Oh, yeah. Gloves are off. Macgregor tried to play it safe, but finally couldn't stomach the Israeli/US genocide.

Who do we trust? Certainly not Lindsay et al. I did my own research. I don't trust it either but in indicates we have at least one base in Syria which is fairly close to the secretive Tower 22 that is in Jordan. So much for secrets. Why are we in Syria? I am fairly certain is not with the consent of Syria. Since we are in Syria, without consent, should we be surprised that an attack is made on our troops. This whole thing stinks to high heavens!

When the Neo-con empire collapses and the economy tanks, they will do the same thing to us to keep their control of the central government.

War somewhere else not directly affecting people not reported on is a distant abstraction. Recall how war was reported when GW Bush was running things. We had huge numbers of people exposed so making it a story was easy. The draft during Vietnam meant real exposure for most people. If Trump is elected genocide, war, etc. will be laid at his feet. Why don’t you stop the killing Mr. President? Etc. The all-volunteer military means that war is something thousands of miles away happening to other people. Given the open border and migration/invasion (migrasion? Maybe not. Sounds like a bad headache.), proliferation of accurate ballistic missiles and anti-ship systems, and a political class that is unserious about the well-being of the American people I would guess we are in for a rough time. Our enemies know that the fact that we were the only major power with an intact economy at the end of WW2 allowed us to dominate while that circumstance held. They will do everything they can, for example paying our politicians to allow our industrial base to be deconstructed and taken over by communist Chinese, to destroy our economy. General MacArthur met with JFK and one of the things he discussed was the strategic depth of various nations. For Russia, distance. For China, endless people. For us our economy and agriculture. Kind of our ‘leadership’ to send our economy overseas. And of course the Chinese Communists are buying farmland! What better way to get our ag technology, seed technology, and develop biological weapons to destroy our crops grown with particular seeds produced by big ag! When will the hammer fall?

This is true. What does China have per Mac? Endless people, maybe, but a real shortage of readily arable land and fresh water to grow food for all those people. American farmland is a natural for them. Chinese who fly over the US or drive across it always come away stunned by the scope of our conveniently located agricultural richness, our well behaved (by their standards) great river systems, our vast reservoir of fresh water (Great Lakes). China by contrast has to deal with mountains and rivers and deserts in all the wrong places.

Good points. Hope they just want to do business. It does not seem like direct dominance but a slow erosive process.

Good point big C. It raises some questions largely due to what I do not know. Is it possible that Davos is a Chinese proxy? If that is not the case then we and the Chinese people, who almost certainly want to continue as a nation state, have a common enemy. Perhaps they and Putin understand that Davos is driving our conflicts around the world and will be careful to not make an enemy of the American people. It seems like Putin gets the divide between the ideologues and ordinary people. Perhaps their approach is to avoid direct confrontation and hope that ‘we’ come to our senses.

There's a recent video going through 9 or 10 coups the US has done over the recent years.

All involving the CIA.

Shaun Thompson on AM 560 plays on his show the audio of Albright’s comments on the dead Iraqi kids frequently. The way she comes across so casually in her tone and attitude is stomach turning. Shaun rightly condemns her to the depths of hell for her callousness. The mask slipped when she was captured speaking that way and allowed us mere little people a glimpse into the thinking and attitudes of those at the highest levels of “their democracy.”

It’s interesting that since the gulf war private military contractors have become the norm globally.

Removing whites from the forces makes me wonder whether the elites fear the US military is capable of mutiny.

I read somewhere that the Vietnam war ended because of the level of fragging which was covered up.

I can’t see how the US public could support a new war….then again they did with Ukraine.

Your question:

Why not step back and get a bit of perspective?

Maybe it is because we are dealing with Ideologues. It is like the old Soviet Union. These people do not care if it is true or false. They do not car if it is wrong or right. All that matters is that the word or deed follows the ideology, supports the ideology and ensures the forward progress of the ideology.

So talking to these people is like talking to a wall.

Or, As in the movie PLATOON, the main character says:

"Some one once said....Hell is the impossibility of reason"

Welcome to America 2023.

(Not sure exactly who this "we" is you talk about kemosabe...)

I think it is true statement to say that "America" funded the gain of function research which created the WhuFlu, and -- at least for me -- it is not a far stretch to say "America" is thus (also) responsible for all of the millions of COVID-19 deaths.

I don't think "America" has yet reached Mao's or Stalin's level, but in time I'm sure "America" can get er done.

It might be counterintuitive and I hate war but….

If we are going to have a chance to stop the neocons, stop the money printing, the open borders, and stop the woke and green movement we need Americans to get serious. Really serious as in it effects All Americans life in a bad way. A real wakeup event so even the dullards pay attention. Think a few carriers at the bottom, Ukraine overrun, China closing the China sea type of stuff along with a market crash.

America getting bitch slapped in the mideast, Ukraine, and maybe even in Taiwan at the same time might catalyze this. And the current Elite would be squarely to blame. America would lose prestige, dollar dominance and have to make decisions that hsve been put off for decades.

As fantasy world evaporates the chaff would be burnt away and the true soul of average law abiding good people will come out. No more bullshit.

It is a fourth turning after all

The NeoCons have as much feeling for their victims as Ted Bundy did for his.

If Trump wins he should offer to send the whole Psychopathic Cabal to the Middle East in chains and let the people there sort it out.

It would be a fitting end.
