    Guardian’s new military ANALyst

    manning tears

    Nicki is just trying to piss me off today by sending us this link to the Guardian;

    Manning Guardian

    How desperate does the Guardian have to be to have an ANALyst on their staff who is currently serving in Leavenworth for crimes against his country? And, oh, by the way, he was a fricken private when he got arrested for committing his crime, so tell me, what special insight could a private provide the world?

    Insight like this;

    Based on my experience as an all-source analyst in Iraq during the organization’s relative infancy, Isis cannot be defeated by bombs and bullets – even as the fight is taken to Syria, even if it is conducted by non-Western forces with air support.

    “Based on my experience” as an infantry platoon sergeant, Manning is a complete idiot and has nothing of value to add to the discussion of global affairs.

    The Guardian is and always has been a real piece of shit publication, but this is lower than whale shit. What next? Is Charles Manson going to be their crime reporter?

  • Meanwhile, In Vermont . . .

    . . . the state has banned brownies and other chocolate treats in schools.

    Seriously.

    The late author Robert A. Heinlein said it best:  “Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.”

    So Louis sends us this photo which perfectly illustrates why you shouldn’t take your old uniforms to the second-hand shop. Some stank-ass gay hippie will scoop it up and put bling on it – including five stars General of the Armies rank, and wear it out on the town like he’s a fashion guru.

  • YGBSM. Again.

    Everyone knows that there are certain places EBT cards can’t be used.  Liquor stores, for one.

    So places where marijuana can be legally sold (in states where such sales are legal, like Colorado) must be places where EBT card use is banned – right?

    Well, actually . . . no.  The DHS has confirmed to Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama that EBT cards can in fact be used at shops where marijuana is sold lawfully.

    I’m not joking.

    Senator Sessions has announced his intent to introduce legislation banning that practice.  My question:  why in the hell hasn’t DHS done that administratively already?

    Oh, yeah – I remember now why.  The linked article indicates that DHS claims they have “no authority” to ban the practice.

    GMAFB.  Since when has that stopped anyone in the current Administration from doing anything?

  • GMAFB. Really? THAT’s Our Strategy?

    According to the WaPo, it looks as if the current Occupant, 1600 Penn Ave, Wash DC, has decided on US “strategy” for countering ISIS.  We’re going to

    • Strike ISIS in Syria (and, presumably, in Iraq as well),
    • Apparently with or without the OK of the Syrian government, while
    • Arming the allegedly “moderate” Syrian rebels against the current government of Syria, and
    • Without putting “boots on the ground” (presumably, that means “more boots on the ground than are already there”).

    Oh, and he says he doesn’t need Congressional approval, either.

    Yeah, that’s gonna work out just swimmingly.  Assad is going to love both the violation of his national sovereignty and the US arming some of his foes.  And we are also absolutely, positively certain that neither of those actions will cause any short-term or long-term problems.

    I trust the sarcasm in the preceding paragraph was obvious.

    Sheesh. If I’ve ever heard a more cockamamie strategy to counter a developing threat to US interests in the ME, I can’t recall what that absurdity might have been.  Only Jimmuh the Clueless’ strategy of “encouraging” the Shah of Iran to grant amnesty to ex-patriot dissidents, then leave in favor of “Iranian democracy” (which then promptly allowed that nice fellow called Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to return to Iran and ascend to power a few months later, and which was predicted by anyone with half a working brain in the event of the Shah’s departure) even comes close.

    As Harrison Ford said (in his role as Han Solo):   “I’ve   “I got a bad feeling about this . . . . “

  • Salafist Sharia Police not welcomed in Germany

    Salafist Sharia Police not welcomed in Germany

    Sven Lau

    Ex-PH2 sends us a link to the South China Morning Post which reports that Sven Lau, a German Salafist convert, thought it would be a good idea to form a “Sharia Police” in the German town of Wuppertal and the Germans aren’t amused;

    The Sharia Police reportedly told nightclub-goers to refrain from drinking alcohol and listening to music, and arcade customers not to play games for money.

    […]

    No arrests have been made but political leaders warned they would crack down on the Islamist patrol if it took its campaign any further, while the conservative daily Die Welt declared: “No tolerance for Salafists.”

    “We will not tolerate illegal parallel justice,” warned Justice Minister Heiko Maas.

    “Sharia law is not tolerated on German soil,” Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere told Saturday’s Bild newspaper.

    Bavaria’s interior minister Joachim Herrmann described it as a “direct attack by the Salafists on our rule of law”, in comments published in Monday’s Bild.

    Stephan Mayer, also from the CSU Bavarian allies of Merkel’s conservatives, called for the promotion of strict sharia law to be “penalised”.

    Yeah, telling Germans not to drink or gamble could be hazardous to your health. And, of course, they do like their pork products.

  • Don Morgan couldn’t finish bootcamp so he joined ISIS

    Don Morgan couldn’t finish bootcamp so he joined ISIS

    Don Morgan

    Jeff sends us a link to the NBC News interview that they had done with this Don Morgan AKA Nassar Abdul-Rahim in Lebanon last month who was looking to join with ISIS – even though he doesn’t consider himself a terrorist. I guess he grew up in North Carolina and joined the Army National Guard once and that didn’t work out, so off to the Middle East he goes;

    Morgan said he was first exposed to the religion as a university student in a course called “Contemporary Islam.” But he didn’t actually convert until some years later, after failing to complete the boot camp that would have allowed him to deploy with the National Guard to Kuwait during Desert Storm. He then found out that local law enforcement, where he served as a sheriff’s deputy, was not the brotherhood he sought either.

    “My entire life growing up was surrounded by the idea that I would be 82nd Airborne, I would be Special Forces, I would serve dutifully – duty, honor and country,” Morgan said. Later, “I thought that I would make this [law enforcement] my substitution for what I thought was going to be, in the beginning, a military career, an achievement, leadership,” he said. Yet after a year and a half, his deputy job was terminated. An official at the sheriff’s office would not give NBC News a reason for the termination.

    So, I guess we’re all terrorists in our hearts, because this fool made up for his inability to be a special forces killer by converting to Islam and trying to join ISIS. Anyway, Donny, the all-American kid turned terrorist , was arrested in New York the other day on weapons charges – he was a felon at some point in his misbegotten life (which probably explains why the sheriff department let him go) and he was trying to sell a rifle online.

    So in place of the order of a military life, this southern son turned to a different, brutal, terrifying kind of discipline and belonging.

    I guess we’re all lucky that we had the personal commitment to complete our military training or we’d be flocking to ISIS to straighten our lives out.

    I am really glad to here Jon Lilyea is dying of MLS. A wart of a man and a pox in public. You too should take an exit. Your sins are not forgotten and many people that you offended are taking note.

    See ya soon.

    Boy are you ex military types stupid, broke, with bad Internet skills and desparate outlooks on life. Just as I said, you are all low life thugs, from blue collar backgrounds, living life “large” in blogs.

    You poor attempts at any kind of communications are only masked by your low brow intellects.

    Two years have shown that you will contimue to live in the bottom 5th of society, and embittered by you betters.

    Several of you I am looking for as to your tongues. The blond bitch form the little por town in AL, wise ass Chip NASA and just an old dog. Lets see how much you like looking over your shoulder until the inevitable rattle in the night.

    Slugs, cretins and worms.

    Wow, even after being discovered, you stupid ex-military types are dumb, broke and with bad hobbies on the Internet.

    You have nothing to show for it and are really purile. NO worries all still being tracked. Lilyea is dying and seavey got suspended. Little pecker games, you worthless mutts and mongrels. Caht amoungst yourselves.

    Imbeciles– nothing to show for it.

    Fat stupid, drunk and with a finite lfespan is no way to go through life.

    Wickre Sep 1 visit-3

    Wickre’s new website for FirsTech.

    Palmer “Paul” Wickre, CEO & acting VP of sales has a storied past in startups, turnarounds, launches and public IPO’s. A graduate of Catholic University with a BSEE, an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh and a MS Law in Federal Contracting is his pedigree. Paul launched his career with IBM whereby he led the team that created the entire back office for MCI Communications, entitling the deregulation of US Carriers a $36B business at the time, He went on to US Sprint, and was the founder of the FTS 2000 effort, leading to competition in the Federal deregulated Telecommunication market, removing the AT&T Monopoly. During his tenure, US Sprint went from $17 to over $60, He has worked with a dozen startups consulting, on the way to IPO, successfully.

    NOTE: Picture there is not Wickre. It is a Shutterstock image of “Portrait of Young Businessman.”

    Karen Wiliams Chairman, majority shareholder is a long standing participant in US Public Policy, legislation and appropriations for the public sector, from her venue on Capitol Hill. She served in the White House for President Bush. Schooled in legislative affairs she has a lengthy history in the FL delegation, serving Jeb Bush, Charles Canady, Adam Putnam and now the Congressional (R-12-FL) representative, Con. Southerland. Karen’s reach is in International trade and oversight into security matters through the Department of Homeland Security. Karen is a graduate of Sweet-Briar College, and holds an JD from her graduate studies at George Washington University. She is known as the “best friend” of the US Trade Representative in matters of US export policy.

    NOTE: Picture is not Williams (Wickre’s wife). It is a Shutterstock image of “Business Woman in a black suit.”

    Note also that the business involves Federal Contracting, and Karen Williams is using her status as a federal employee of a Congressman for puffery.  She is the Legislative Director for Representative (“Rep” not “Con”) Southerland.

    Contrary to the bio, Representative Steve Southerland is a Republican Congressman in the 2nd District, not the 12th.   It has been suggested that a Legislative Director steering federal contracts to a company which he/she is the Chairman and Majority Shareholder of may run afoul of Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR Clauses).  I have contacted a lawyer friend specializing in Congressional ethics cases and will have more shortly.

    Representative Southerland’s race is considered a “Toss Up” by Larry Sabato at the University of Virginia Center for Politics.  His opponent is Gwen Graham, who has no employees or campaign staff who have ever to my knowledge threatened to kill my wife, get me fired or sent me racist, homophobic or sexist emails.  Also, I can not confirm that she has pure Viking blood.

    Apparently Karen Williams, wife of Paul Wickre (AKA Palmer Wickre), Legislative Director for Rep. Steve Southerland of Florida continues to solicit government contracts.

    When last we left this story, Paul Wickre, AKA Palmer Wickre of FirsTech had filed suit against Phil Monkress, APL Logistics.  I will have more on that case later this week, but from the initial complaint:

    Wickre v APL Complaint-2

    Failing that, because failing is what he excels at, Wickre offered Peace in Our Time:

    Subject: A peace Accord backed by circumstance and events

    Dear Mark,

    My wife, business assoiciates, government officials and interested
    parties have come to the conclusion that we should, after a year,
    disinvolve ourselves from the TAH interests, Stolen valor zeal, the
    American Legion, Yourself and Jon Lilyea, Matt Burden, Blake Powers
    and all the rest as no longer in our interests.

    Recently, there has been a decided declaration in our litigation
    involving APL, your initial target. I have control of documents and
    evidence, in a gesture to you, that would support your aspirations as
    to APL and Phil Monkress, even more than you suspected, or originally
    opposed.

    I would like to have a frank discussion, as to how to end our enmity,
    after many months, give you specific information on the case at hand,
    that would allow you to posture and actually show that your drumbeat
    was correct and there is much more afoot, that you did not know, all
    under oath, admissible anywhere and the facts and documnents
    supporting the TAH position.

    I am suggesting some very frank discussions, as to support of your
    position all along, as I am now legally concluded with Phil Monkress
    and no longer need be an obstacle to your position. Naturally You
    would end and sever mY mention for providing conclusive embarrasing
    litigious proof as to Monkress and APL regarding TAH.

    The olive branch comes with proposition of the handshake, as to lower
    the sword. The facts in eveidence in Court will startle you as to the
    bald facts as to what actually occurred. At this time I see no furhter
    purpose of opposing your group interests, converging supportive data
    as to your TAH Blog, a win for you and walking off the field. .

    Loving the movie ” BraveHeart” ” Peace is made in such ways.

    I still believe after the disarming of Lilyea under my and other peace
    orders as to a humiliating search and disarmamnet of his house by
    conjoint foes into MIneral County, that we would cease any action as
    to that effect. My wife is a called witness in four days to support
    Bernath. Another Federal Court action has been formed in FL. WE have
    allways had the presntation to Capitol Hill to Jeff all the way back
    to the Legion.

    It seems to me, in History, that Nixon, in bitter rivalry, summoned
    the VietCong to the Peace Table for conclusive discussions. However
    Nixon had the sword of continued B-52 strikes back to the stone age if
    the peace emissisaries would not gather.

    I have the ear and attention of my prior IBM collegues down to
    SoftLayer in Abuse, Sobpoenas, and my IBM Greeenwich school friend
    Dody LIra in the Copyright section, in Dallas on 4849 Alpha Road.
    LIke Winternet, then RackSpace, then Softlayer we have calculated that
    each move presents you the costs of reassmably of 8700 backlinks and
    18,700 html pages, in WordPress, fees, start up and programming.

    If you will come with clean hands to discuss matters with me as to
    non-iterfernece with the Stolen Valor drive and apparutus, we would
    drop all of it, walk away and hold nothing in reserve as to veritas.

    We would agree to special terms as to surrendering all of this
    shutting up Bernath, never irrititaing Lilea and again and reverse our
    momnentm, shutting off all adversarial actions under a durable
    agreemenet to you and TAH, stand down and provide legal transripts
    condemning your Stolen Valor Enemies with comment or interference,
    with follow up of VA malfeasnace to support our story line.

    I approach you with certainty, that I control all adversarial forces
    and issues, end them and provide out a blockbuster headline eveidence
    and truth, as to give you monmentum and all my arrayed forces wrill
    dissiapte and stand down say for a 2 year written agreement.

    ONce we can discuss the evidence and the form transferred and many
    express agreemments to reverse out foe voices, I wold think you would
    be very interestsd. MY offer is sincere, and this prposal is good.

    PLeasd pick a time thisi weekend when we can discuss as leaders, not
    as adversaries and end a senslelss dissipation of both our energies.

    Paul Wickre


    Paul K Wickre
    VP DHS Business Development

    FirstTech, Inc.
    6915 Wilson Lane
    Bethesda, MD 20817

    As Mr. Paul Wickre, (AKA Palmer Wickre) and his wife Karen Williams of Steve Southerland’s (Republican Congressman) office apparently have once again decided to take on TAH, I have crafted this eloquent response 5 months late.

    Dear Mr Angry Homophobic Racist Viking;

    Pog mo thoin.

    NOTE: Do not contact Wickre or Karen Williams by phone, email, mental telepathy, strippergram or any other way. I’m only posting this as information, since Wickre is apparently once again all out for us. Ergo it is purely defensive. I do believe that Representative Southerland should know who he has working for him, but that is a political matter, to be settled by the voters of Florida. And frankly I really don’t care. What I do care about is that clearly Wickre is ramping up to his old tune of threatening people and stirring up trouble. Jonn and I have retained counsel and are pursuing possible action. We’ll have more on that later as well. But read the Wickre v. APL lawsuit and hear how we are the “Blogsters that wouldn’t yield.”
