  1. Holy shit https://twitter.com/NewsForAllUK/status/1427203279256227844?s=20
  2. Can you imagine making decisions that this C-17 crew is having to make? An unknown number/nationality of floor-loaded pax, Afghan clinging to the landing gear while you're taxiing in hopes of escape. Waiting at the end of the runway while two Apaches attempt to clear it of thousands of frantic Afghan civilians? Afghanis falling from the plane after takeoff? https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1427194671223250948?s=20https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1427194671223250948?s=20
  3. White House just outed members of the CIA, on Twitter, out of sheer incompetence, on top of one of the most humiliating days in the last 20 years: https://twitter.com/thomasbsauer/status/1427001051249512448?s=20

Silk Road Initiative. https://afghanembassyturkmenistan.com/12-reasons-the-silk-road-through-afghanistan-is-underway/ https://www.dailypioneer.com/2021/page1/taliban-seek-air-missiles-from-china.html [quote] Taliban seek air missiles from China Sunday, 01 August 2021 | PNS | New Delhi Delegation requests Beijing to help it with electronic warfare against US bombers The Taliban are desperate to get supplies of medium range surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) from China before the complete withdrawal of the US troops from Afghanistan in September. Afghan Taliban co-founder Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, alias Mullah Baradar, placed his desire to get SAMs before the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi at a delegation-level meeting at Tianjin on Wednesday. “The Taliban delegation requested SAMs from China during the inter-delegation meeting headed by Baradar from the Taliban and Yi from the Chinese side,” they said. Backed by technical inputs from the Pakistan Army-ISI complex, the Taliban have sought missiles capable of crippling the electronic warfare capabilities and jamming the radar of the American B-52 bombers as the configuration is estimated to be closely matching those of Rafale fighter jets being procured by India from France, the sources said.[/quote]
  5. Remember “Baghdad Bob”? https://twitter.com/CalebJHull/status/1426957410426630154?s=20
  6. No F'n way... Gotta be a glitch in the simulation.
  7. War is over. Time to turn inward.
  8. Mark Milley is too busy trying to understand "White Rage" to do any soul searching in AFG. Video of the scramble to board a C-17 in Kabul while AAA is visible in the sky. Sad. https://twitter.com/IntelOmarion/status/1426950526416134151?s=20
  9. What would make her look more credible on social media would be to site specifics as to what makes it an "unlawful order". If the DoD can't mandate a vaccine for Active Duty service members that has been approved by the FDA and recommended by the CDC for emergency usage, I question our ability to enforce anything in crisis much more severe than this one. That is a reasonable/rational thought. I like it.
  10. Well, that’s a wrap. All is lost.

    I expected it to be another awful inflight movie, but it was great. Had 20 minutes left when I had to deplane. Can’t wait to finish it.
  12. The simple fact that she is Tweeting this stuff prooves my theory, but I guess that's what all the cool people are doing these days, so.... Brother, if you’re attempting to justify your position that she’s an idiot, consider that what you just wrote about “proof” and “cool people” doesn’t exactly lend itself to a legitimate counter-argument. They definitely exist, but you can’t seem to find them. See Prozacs post.
  13. Whoa. Slow down. You read one tweet you disagree with and dismissed her as an idiot. I put a link to her bio in the earlier post. Consider reading it then asking yourself if you’re trying to disparage her because she has a different viewpoint, or because she is legitimately uneducated. Once, I had an UPT check pilot in my Stan/Eval office that debriefed a student that he was going to put an aircraft in the ground and kill everyone onboard because he didn’t know how to apply a cold weather altimeter correction.
  14. Anyone know C141/C21 pilot and AZ state rep Wendy Rogers? First I've heard of her.
  15. Taliban soldier twitter account. That helo will never see the air again, but they scored "innumerable" vehicles, weapons, and equipment. They are currently making gains toward Kabul. As the Taliban effectively overtakes the whole of the country and imposes Islamic law, the Biden admin thinks they deserve a role in the international community: https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1425511981277134855?s=20
  16. EXACTLY.
  17. That's like one of the worst things that is imagined. Just hearing those words should give one a surge of fear. Compelling fear.
  18. Right. That's why I posted the Dr's speech he gave before the Mt. Vernon school board. He cited scientific research from the same organizations who are touted as being trustworthy by the pro-mandate crowd, and provided sources. The problem being, even if we restricted ourselves to medical research case studiea, there is nearly always an equal an opposite medical research study. Studies, as you said... that are paid for. How many times have we heard that alcohol/meat/butter/salt/aspirin/prescription meds are good/bad for you depending on who you listen to? Although we've made amazing progress the last century, the amount we know about our biology is likely a fraction of a percent of what can be known about our biology. When overwhelming factual evidence is missing, inconclusive, or conflicting - all you're left with is a shouting competition of partial truths. That leaves the door wide open for those who wish to exploit the void of information for their own gains, especially if they have the capability to restrict your speech while they use a bullhorn.
  19. I may be wrong, but this is the only explanation I can think of: He took massive amount of flak for losing his self control (and dignity) during the hearing. He's hurt, insulted, and compelled to hit back on Twitter, but must do so in a 120 characters or less. So he makes a generalization about all of his critics and lumps them into the same category: Supporters of the Jan 6 riots, or people who think of themselves as patriots. i.e.: "If you are my critic, you must think yourself a patriot, but you're not". In his defense, some of the Twitter posts about him were brutal enough to make anyone cry. I mean, I cried when I saw it: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E8NIYCKWUAECdwR?format=jpg&name=medium
  20. It's inescapable. Mandatory annual/semi-annual vaccinations and passports, for (almost) everyone, for a pandemic that never ends. It's a shitty situation, but so is living in North Korea. Cede ownership of your body, attempt to escape, or check out. That's life.
  21. This and your earlier one are both good posts. This Doctor also expands on your point about COVID being similar to the flu virus in some ways. But one of his points you should consider is that vaccines are not only a poor solution, but can be dangerous. The inventor of the mRNA vaccine, Dr Robert Malone, also explains this in his recent podcast with Doctor Bret Weinstein. Why are we seeing breakout infections among the vaccinated in the summertime? Listen: If you believe the things he is saying are "counter-factual", here is a list of links to all of the official scientific peer-reviewed studies he references in the flash drive he provided to the board members: https://liveandlocalacadiana.com/a-video-has-surfaced-with-real-source-data-science-from-a-school-board-meeting-in-indiana/
