Here I’ll try to round up a variety of stories that aren’t necessarily linked, although it mostly all works into the current crisis.Thanks for reading Meaning In History! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. This morning Larry Johnson points to three news stories
"Morocco—formerly a close collaborator with the US". That is not correct, Morocco is a very close friend and ally of the US. Nothing has changed in that respect.
Late to the discussion on the Simplicius piece. My view is that the democrats will, when they control the House, Senate, and WH again, pass a sweeping amnesty bill to enshrine themselves as the only power controlling the federal government. The basic building blocks are being laid now with unrestrained illegal immigration in the millions. In order to accomplish this, the filibuster must be killed followed by reworking election laws to make future election outcomes forgone conclusions. Neutering the SCOTUS by packing the court or impeaching conservative members which opens the door to rolling back the constitution - which is just a piece of parchment to them. Banana State stuff.
Will the conservative/Red states accept such a usurpation of power is the question, and that is where the talk of civil war and disunion become more than talk in my opinion. Such a challenge would need to occur before the Marxists/communists consolidate power which would likely follow historical precedents beginning with purging the military's leadership and setting up a massive security state operation - which is nearly accomplished already. Red state compacts, as Simplicius touches on, would need to be in place prior to any such power grab.
The situation regarding the two colonels . . . Chung is exactly the type of officer that should be in command of an elite combat unit. Sullivan, on the other hand, is just exactly the type that should be nowhere near any sort of direct support unit. I could care less if offend folks, I am certain that females are a net detriment to military effectiveness no matter what roles they are assigned to perform. Open homosexuals are worse, but not by as much as folks might think. Advisors wearing brown berets???? I will withhold my comments on that group!
I did not know about the US Seizing the tanker, and just outside Singapore before Mark’s post.
Incompetence or deliberate?
Incompetence not assuming the Iranians would respond.
Or deliberate wanting the Iranian’s to respond therefore increasing the price of oil? Putting the blame on Iran for higher oil prices? And also putting pressure on the Iran / Saudi Relationship?
The shooter in Texas was reported as a "Mexican National." Indeed, now we know as its reported he is not just a Mexican Citizen he has been deported twice before.
So how'd he get a bunch of guns, and how did he get a place to live and, presumably, a job since without money you're not paying either rent or a mortgage (never mind groceries and guns), are you?

I wonder if this is paving the way for another US Haiti intervention…
