A Plan Comes Together

“This is hilarious. The boss of Raytheon, one of the US top weapons manufacturers, says the company has ‘several thousand suppliers in China and decoupling . . . is impossible.’” [More]

Say, gang, I’ve got a swell idea! Let’s force that same dependency on America’s entire supply chain!

Any questions about why those bringing this about, like their masters, don’t want us armed?

Hey, who’s up for dying for “gun-free” Taiwan?

And Thank You for Your Service?

“Having a US military background is the single-strongest individual-level predictor of whether a subject . . . is classified as a mass casualty offender,” the study by Maryland’s National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) said. [More]

What it doesn’t say is what commonalities offenders share before enlisting. It also presupposes risks are evenly distributed rather than concentrated into observable subsets.

I can’t help but make the seemingly unrelated analogies that violent crime is not widespread but concentrated, and Trump is so good at firing people because he’s so lousy at hiring them.

No Tinfoil was Used in the Production of This Document

“proxy wars to test genetically modified soldiers.”“development of weapons capable of instantaneous, world-altering effects.” “shore up resources and enact Orwellian controls on society.” [More]

Whew! Good thing the standing “woke” Milley/Levine military is on our side!

Help Wanted, Inquire Within

Employer is a US-based private security company seeking multiple Evacuation / Extraction Team Agents to conduct evacuation missions of individuals and families who are currently located in Sudan. Only highly experienced candidates who possess at least 5+ years of military experience in this region of Africa will be considered for this role – no exceptions. Preferred candidates are already located in Sudan or a bordering country. Non-competitive candidates will simply not be considered or contacted. [More]

So they don’t have to comply with diversity, equity, and inclusion rules…?

Next thing you’ll be telling me they don’t train with empathy bellies…

UPDATE

It’s not like we need to worry about Sudanese biologicals with our “rigorous” border controls…
