It is really an old truism, when your sparring partners are 7-year old kids from the sand-box you are bound to lose qualifications and skills. When it is aggravated by the blind and illiterate geopolitical planning and doctrine-mongering–it becomes a recipe for the loss of situational awareness and a disaster. The United States may not have produced world-class strategists with the exception of Mahan, but operationally, come on–everyone uses Boyd’s OODA Loop, Net- Centric Warfare is a routine today in Russian Armed Forces, so why such a catastrophic failure to learn from themselves, forget about learning it from those who defeated time after time best fighting forces in history?
The answer is clear as a day: Wehrmacht couldn’t conceive that Slavic subhumans can produce T-34 and excellent fighter-planes, not to speak of a superb artillery. They also miscalculated with the level of education and adaptability of the Red Army, and in terms of Soviet industry. The US repeats here Nazi Germany’s path–US “elites” are afflicted by the genocidal, racial hatred towards Russians and they cannot conceive, especially through the “labor” of Soviet and Russian dissidents who sold BS about USSR and Russia for decades, that the US simply doesn’t know or understand Russia. That what it “knows” about her and her people is a complete bunk conceived in the dark recesses of ideological imperatives of the Cold War 1.0. “

The Transition To Military Power
h/t to commenter JayLib who posted this here yesterday:
Three Narratives About The Massive Troop Presence In DC
NOQReport sums up different narratives about the presence of massive numbers of troops in DC:
“Right now there are two mainstream ideas as to what is really going on with Washington DC’s military control. The mainstream narrative is that it’s a natural reaction to the violence that occurred on the Capitol Building on January 6th. The problem with this theory is that there have been no credible calls for an armed protest on Inauguration Day. In fact, Conservative voices have been telling people to stay home and to NOT come to DC. The only credible report that I could find of ANYONE planning on showing up was the Boogaloo Boys, but they are so few in number, that would not warrant the 35,000+ troops on the ground.
On the Conservative side, there’s the claim that this is Donald Trump playing 5D chess, and that the military is there to arrest all of the Deep State who are traitors to the United States of America. They cite the fact that there are fences facing inward, which appear to be designed to keep people IN as opposed to OUT. Now, if that happens, that would be epic and a total Trump move. But is that the game plan, or is there something more sinister going on?
Could this be yet another setup by the Deep State to take out conservatives once and for all. Just as much of the Capitol Riots were designed as a setup to discredit the Conservative Movement, this could be yet another one. They are setting the stage that the Right is extremely violent, and the visual cue for that is the thousands of troops protecting our nation’s capitol. But what happens if there’s an attempt of violence that they thwart or actually allow to occur? This could justify the outright targeting and persecution of all conservatives, treated as an enemy of the state.”
Well, this is was always one of my great fears and the reason I didn’t vote for PDJT the first time around. I thought his whole presidency might be a Trojan horse to discredit conservatives.
I don’t think that now, having watched him for 4 years. And right now, I don’t think this is a set up. The other side is absolutely desperate and the infiltration of the Jan 6 rally, like the hacking of the election software, is a Hail Satan pass born out of sheer desperation at the persisting support for PDJT.
National Guard Chief Says 65,000 Soldiers And Airmen In DC Now
I came across this video in which National Guard Bureau chief Dan Hokanson says that 65,000 soldiers and airmen of the NG [3 times the number being reported in the media] are on the ground in DC.
Why Pompeo Is Right To Rebrand Cuba A Terrorist Sponsor
From Townhall.com:
Most of Cuba’s economic infrastructure—especially tourism facilities—are owned by Cuba’s military. Hence every penny spent in Cuba by foreign investors and tourists lands in their pockets, hence Secretary Pompeo’s recent diplomatic “banana-peels” and “vandalism” (i.e. efforts to financially handicap mass-murdering, America-hating terror-sponsors.)
Every shred of observable evidence proves that travel to Cuba and business with its Stalinist mafia enriches and entrenches these KGB-trained, terror-sponsoring and heavily-armed owners of Cuba’s tourism industry. They’re the only outfit in Cuba with guns and they remain the most highly motivated guardians of Cuba’s Stalinist and Terror-Sponsoring status-quo.
Please note: there is no “doing business with Cuba,” as the Biden team and their media auxiliaries claim. There is only doing business with the KGB and GRU trained Stalinist fat-cats who occupy Cuba.
National Guard In DC Will Carry Lethal Weapons
From Military.com:
The National Guard troops deploying in DC will carry lethal weapons.
Army and Air National Guard members deploying to Washington, D.C. to help guard the capital and stay through the Jan. 20 inauguration will have access to lethal weapons at their commanders’ discretion, Guard commanders said Friday.
WARNING: Disable Updates On Cell Phones

8 hours agoBE PREPARED FOR AN IMMINENT BLACKOUT.
President Trump will be using be using emergency broadcast system.
We have a man of courage & faith at the helm.
He will be at the helm for 4 more years per the RULE OF LAW.
Pray for President, our country & ALL.
Steady.
As I blogged in the previous post, there seems to be a hint in Potus’ last tweet that he would be reaching supporters on emergency alerts on the Giant mass messaging system. There is a rumor going around that an automatic update to cell phones will disable the emergency messaging function.
So go into settings on your flip or smart phone and make sure to DISABLE AUTOMATIC UPDATES. You don’t want to lose that functionality.
However, just because we know how much disinformation is out there and because the deep state is always listening in to trap us with what we think we know but really don’t, it would be wise to make sure to check ALL update notices and see what they are about before unwarily installing something. The disabling mechanism might also come through a trojan or virus or even through some new app or software patch. No one can be sure.
Just be aware that there might be some kind of disruption in cell phone connectivity. Notice what happened after the Nashville bombing? Cell phone and internet services were disrupted in multiple states in the south for hours after.
Some people are warning about war being “imminent.” I have to laugh at that. Imminent? We are already at war and have been for some time. Cyber attacks, psyops, black ops, market crashes, disinformation, targeted assassinations and disappearances, weather modification, information black-outs: these are the weapons of the latest model of war.
MAGA’S Giant Voice
Trump’s last Twitter message, before he was banned from the platform, went:
“The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!”
This has been interpreted by many supporters, especially those who follow QAnon [I do not, though I frequently end up with the same conclusions], as a reference to a military communication system that they hope he will use to defeat his enemies:
https://www.fedsig.com/outdoor-sirens-and-speakers
There is a specific military communications system called Giant Voice Mass Notification Systems
That could have been the reference and the reason major social media platforms decided to banish him.
There could be a more sinister explanation for the reference, though.
POTUS could be playing the role of controlled opposition, using ambiguous phrases and words he knows some supporters will construe a certain way to trap them, while covering himself, either because he wants to purge radical elements from MAGA or because he is a part of the deep state.
I personally don’t think either of those two explanations is the case, but I’m sure some of his base is wondering about it. But I’m not a blind follower of anyone or any ideology, so it has occurred to me, as it did in 2016.
Why not now? Because having seen what he went through for four years and having seen what he did in that time, more than any president in my adult life, I really don’t believe he was intentionally deceiving us.
Powell Suggests Military Take Over Of Gulf Oil Disaster
We were waiting breathlessly for this:
“Former US secretary of state Colin Powell joined calls for the military to take command of the operation from BP. Powell said the problem was beyond the capacity of BP to solve and the government should bring in “decisive force”. He said: “The military brings organisation, it brings control, it brings assets.”
War has become nation-building and peacetime operations have become warlike…
Everything is a crisis, everything is a war. Everything is about ceding more power to the state, while allowing the “private” sector to dump its costs on the government.
Milgram On The Manufacture of Compliance
“The soldier does not wish to appear a coward, disloyal, or un-American. The situation has been so defined that he can see himself as patriotic, courageous, and manly only through compliance.”
