“If evil is coming at you with an 18 wheeler? – PAY FUCKING ATTENTION!” – Dr. Freckles
Wow … Gross … (if true)
*** FYI: people that abuse animals often abuse KIDS.
COMING SOON! (next shoe)
What’s happening …
- You invade VENEZUELA to cover up money printing.

PLEASE DON’T STAND IN FRONT OF MY BULLETS!
What kind of neo-Stalinist bullshit is this?
SCIENCE of IDENTITY FOUNDATION
Sexual Assault in the US military …
*** in a military institutional context, a soldier is captured. Captured and constrained by a system of controls that make reporting fraud, waste, abuse, criminal activity, and worse, DIFFICULT if not IMPOSSIBLE for junior officers, NCOs, etc. But the reality: it’s at the company level that many or most of these abuses occur. I will never recommend anyone enter the US military, for a myriad of reasons, but this is one: if you join, whether you like it or not, you are volunteering for torture and abuse, and the cognitive dissonance that comes along for the ride. BTW: whatever logic or deconstruction you want to apply to the Catholic Church abuse cases or the BSA abuse cases, you should apply doubly so to the us military, according to its design.

GUNBOAT DIPLOMACY
Here we are:
- People are going to make “comparisons” to other conflicts, given our history in that part of the world I think the best comparison would be to the “Banana Wars”.
- Technically, GUNBOAT DIPLOMACY is the use of force to open up diplomatic relations: see Japan 19th Century and CMDR PERRY.
- If there is still time on the clock, then expect this to be more like the 2011 LIBYA MODEL – we take the oil, take logistics required to support the oil, but we mostly neglect the interior and hand it over to drug lords, but they’ll be OUR drug lords. We might try to put someone in charge and provide limited support, but I doubt will connect ourselves too deeply to any one given dictator.
