Does anyone have the CRS or GAO report of the completed F35 OT&E [Pentagon’s Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E)]? Any documentation will do. They fielded the 1,000th airframe and it has NEVER jumped from initial operational capability (IOC) to full operational capability (FOC) until possibly this year. To quote Lt. Gen. Michael Schmidt, the F-35′s program executive officer, said during a 30 March 2023: The “F-35 is currently planning to achieve full operational capability status after the full TR-3 and block 4 capabilities of the aircraft are fielded in 2028 — 27...

Carrier Blues: Even the Mainstream is Waking Up

The ice is breaking on the stonewalling of the defense community and external observers to have an honest conversation on the aircraft carrier; they may be getting the message on how indefensible and anachronistic this extraordinarily expensive weapons system is. The Aircraft Carrier Industrial Base Coalition has already removed me from their Christmas card list. More and more of the Coprophile Media is reluctantly waking up to the apparently intuitively obvious conclusion. The defense journalism industry, like the cultural critics in Hollywood, tend to be sycophantic and are very careful...

Ep 051 “Cellular Ecology: Guerrilla Organizations and Grunt Math”

Episode Notes This is an episode to examine what cell structures look like and the methodologies of guerrillas and insurgents use to conduct clandestine or covert action. I further discuss traditional, subversive, critical cell and mass-oriented and unconventional cell structures. We visit some historical parallels and why the US and the West may not catch the next wave of terror in America (not cooked up by the clownish FBI like the Whitmer disaster).

The Royal Navy Stumbles, Again

The Fat Amy follies continue apace. We discussed this recently and it looks more and more likely that the hapless and increasingly Orwellian Starmer junta in the UK may be reneging on plans to buy more than the present complement of shoddy F35B aircraft they currently have. They have started to weigh priorities to shift to a new joint fighter venture with Japan and Italy. It will be as disastrous as the F35 and the stumbling efforts of the USAF to come up with a sixth-generation fighter aircraft. I am amused they are all that concerned for having carrier-borne aircraft since both of their...

Freedom of Navigation? US Navy Continues to Fail

It appears the US Navy and the NATO midgets continue to be thwarted in trying to secure safe passage through the Red Sea arterials against a foe which has no navy to speak of. If the data is correct, the Yemeni Houthis have no vessels beyond the size of a patrol boat with a provenance newer than 1973. You US Navy dollars at work. None of these efforts were helped when the EU formed a splinter coalition called Aspides so as not to associate with the US posture in Israel. The West’s inability to agree on how to perform a relatively basic task did not go unnoticed by potential adversaries. It...

Collision Alarm: Terror on the Horizon

"I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell." -William Tecumseh Sherman I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. The indicators and warnings on the board are lighting up more often now than in the past. I did a series this year called Storming America (Episodes 37, 41-43, 49-50) on the Chasing Ghosts podcast where I laid out the probabilities and architecture of an up-scaled 7 October 2023 Gaza-Israel complex...
