Military Education and the Zampolit Parade Through the Institutions

by | Jul 10, 2024 |

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 | Jul 9, 2024 |

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 | Jul 8, 2024 |

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 | Jul 5, 2024 |

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 | Jul 4, 2024 |

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 | Jul 3, 2024 |

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...

Boeing, Boeing, Gone

by | Jul 2, 2024 |

There is nothing new here but the corruption is deep at Boeing: "It comes after an unnamed parts supplier uncovered small holes in the material from corrosion, The New York Slimes reported. The FAA is looking into both the long and short-term implications for the aircraft equipped with the faulty parts. It’s not clear how many planes have used components made from the fake titanium." Metal behaves differently at altitude and underwater.   Fake metallurgy. No maintenance workers at the airline that received these fake airplanes verified and validated metallurgy.   The chaos avalanche of the...

Ep 046 “Review and Discussion: My Lai: Vietnam, 1968, and the Descent into Darkness by Howard Jones”

by | Jul 1, 2024 |

I discuss the slaughter of over 500 unarmed men, women and children in My Lai in March 1968 by American soldiers. In concert with the Tet Offensive in 1968, this was the end of American arms in Vietnam. The collision of barbarism, toxic leadership and moral injury make everyone of these pages bleed. One of the most searing indictments of American arms you will read. This book is an acquired taste because it may crush your soul.
