Ep 047 “Nagorno-Karabakh: A Dark and Robotic Future”

by Bill Buppert | Jul 15, 2024 | Chasing Ghosts Podcast

I discuss the Fall 2020 war between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the tiny sliver of Nagorno-Karabakh and why I would suggest that it was a glimpse into the future of warfare for the remainder of this century. the Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) for the following reasons: Robotics and drones are the new "low tech" answer to the First World's exquisite military platform that are over priced and have the same provenance of battleships planet-wide in January 1942. The electronic emissions environment in future conflicts will be a two-way street that will put any active acquisition sensors and...

US Government Teachers: The Overseas Army of Marxian Educators

by Bill Buppert | Jul 11, 2024 | Blog

When I was active duty and deployed overseas, we thankfully home educated our children because the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) is just as rancid and immoral as the government schools in CONUS. They lied, the DoDEA did not cancel their IED propaganda in the DoD schools. They shifted the funding to a less visible place. As you can imagine, it may be even worse than the NEA/AFT Marxist madrassas that soil the landscape of America in government schooling. The DoDEA refuses to disclose the individual salaries of its staff, unlike government schools nationwide and almost every...

Military Education and the Zampolit Parade Through the Institutions

by Bill Buppert | Jul 10, 2024 | Blog

The professional military education systems and the academies have been captured by the Inclusion, Equity and Diversity (IED) zampolit cadres in a detailed and comprehensive way. In the military a zampolit is a political commissar or political officer (or politruk, a portmanteau word from Russian; translated as a political leader or political instructor); a supervisory officer responsible for the political education (ideology) and organization of the unit to which they are assigned, with the intention of ensuring political control of the military. The report below is filled with citations...

Regime Apologists Continue to Insist the Carrier is Useful

by Bill Buppert | Jul 9, 2024 | Blog

They misspelled disposable. There is nothing hard to target about a very large ship traveling at very large ship speeds with very large wakes in the modern era by air breathing and non-air breathing detection assets. What this means is that all the carriers deployed (you'd be fortunate to get four of the eleven US carriers underway at once due to refitting and refueling maintenance cadence) can't get near contested coastlines of sophisticated militaries like Russia and China but then again the Houthis in Yemen recently chased off a carrier battle group out of the Red Sea with no Navy...

The F35 Continues to Excel at the Pentagon

by Bill Buppert | Jul 8, 2024 | Blog

The "mission capable rate" of these F35s is simply appalling. 23 years in and it still doesn't work. 23 years. And Congress won't kill it but continues to feed money into the F35 industrial wood-chipper. The jets have often been stuck on the ground due to engine design flaws that cause the aircraft to overheat, damaging parts and boosting maintenance costs. This inability to stay in the air has made it more difficult to get pilots sufficient training in real-life scenarios, which increases the likelihood of crashes and other costly accidents, according to Dan Grazier of the Project on...

“Trillion Dollar Trainwreck…”

by Bill Buppert | Jul 5, 2024 | Blog

Hot garbage on the wing. The pursuit of US and Western air dominance is a pipe dream but a fever dream for the military industrial complex. The existential failure of this fighter program has been stunning to behold. The days of manned fighter aircraft are numbered in years and not decades. It’s a startling development for advocates of American air power. For generations, the whole US military – not to mention the militaries of America’s closest allies – have depended on the US Air Force to achieve air superiority against even the most determined and sophisticated foe, affording freedom of...

All Hail Homo Sovieticus Booboisie in America

by Bill Buppert | Jul 4, 2024 | Blog

Happy Dependence Day, Helots. The Declaration of Independence continues to be a masterwork of brevity and directness in its promise to sever ties and formalize a divorce. There is no sizable sector of America today that would even have the temerity to sign it much less live up to it. Well, maybe at an abolitionist meeting but I digress. The Constitution is the tombstone for the Declaration of Independence. Most of the ahistorical tax Helots automatically associate the 4th of July with the wretched Constitution anyway. Constitution Day is in September but why wait when the DI has been so...

Unpossible! Another Fraud Complex Found in DoD Contractor

by Bill Buppert | Jul 3, 2024 | Blog

Another fraud incident with overcharging. Sikorsky is a Lockheed-Martin subsidiary. Sikorsky Support Services Inc., a helicopter manufacturer headquartered in Stratford, Conn., agreed to pay the federal government $70 million in a settlement alongside Wisconsin-based Derco Aerospace Inc. because of claims that it knowingly overcharged the Navy for spare parts and other materials needed to repair and maintain the aircraft it already uses. According to a release from the Department of Justice, Sikorsky and Derco, which are both owned by the same parent company, Lockheed Martin, entered into a...

Israel Winner of the 2003 Iraq Oil War

by Gary Vogler

From the Foreword by Lawrence B. Wilkerson: “[T]he debate over whether oil was a principal reason for the 2003 invasion has waxed and waned, with one camp arguing that it absolutely was, while the other argues the precise opposite.” “Mr. Vogler, himself a former...

Domestic Imperialism: Nine Reasons I Left Progressivism

by Keith Knight

Imagine the Catholic Church (or any person or group of people) doing what the government does every day: Everyone who doesn’t give the Catholic Church 25% of his annual income every year will be put in jail. If he resists the Jesuit officer, the officer has the right...
