July 7, 2022: Reader Tips

This evening we present you a 1944 U.S. War Department film. One of the opening slides is interesting. It reads:

The mission of the United States Army is to destroy the enemy by offensive action. – George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff

We leave it to you, dear readers, to share what you think that quote might be for the U.S. Military in 2022.

Your best recent tips are very much welcome.

Bonus: We’re constantly told by the usual suspects that America is the most racist country in the world.  Some beg to differ.  Watch this!

    1. Complete garbage: “These estimates only account for benefits among those who were vaccinated and do not account for benefits to unvaccinated persons through reductions in disease transmission,” Steele said.” There is no reduction in transmissions with the vaccines. A dead giveaway that they are making it up.
      The claim of reduced deaths is based on a computer model — like so many of their misleading claims.

      100% pure undiluted Prefabricated BULLSHIT…
      presented by those who wish to see us all dead.
      WEF & the usual NAZI Boot lickers…….

      “See how well they worked..??”
      Yea, Actually we did….
      Precisely as you Satanic MOFO’s envisioned

      1. I am not defending the article, just pointing out how the mainstream definition of success keeps evolving.

    3. Computer programmers have a saying: Garbage in, Garbage out. GIGO. I’d like to see the input source data for those models that produced these results.
      I may not be a statistician, but I cannot for the life of me see how it would be possible to arrive at such conclusions. What is the baseline data? If we ever do see the input, chances are there would be so many holes. Reminds me of a similar study a while back conducted by an esteem Canadian Scientists also backing the vax. Byram Bridle destroyed that paper by just citing two flaws in source data. The first, the most damning, is that the author admitted that the numbers he used was just a guess. I suspect something similar happened with this “study.”

      1. Those are valid points (coincidently I do read numbers for life and make a pretty good living doing that). The 58% estimate is bullshit. They are working backwards in a way. They are saying that “people like you who do not have vaccines and contract Wuhan Flu die X% of the time, while people like you who have vaccines die Y% of the time” Y<X then just multiply X by the number of vaccinated people the difference between this product and the actual number of deaths in the vaccinated population is the excess death. Supposedly you do it for each cross section of the population based on age, sex, ethnicity and other demographics. And then add them all up weighted by cell size. The problem of course starts with the identification of "people like you" and if that is done wrong, then everything that follows is hogwash. $hit in, $hit out as you say.

        Every time they refine their model, every time they improve the identification strategy the less effective the vaccines turn out to be. Hence the goalposts are shifting.

        Eventually they will declare that they have always claimed that only people with significant comorbidities should be taking the vaccines. Or that young healthy males are safer without the vaccine than with it. But the new vaccines… lather rinse repeat and believe the science.

        The absurd, paranoid notion of believing the science without understanding it, being no different than a believing in supernatural escapes the UnMes.

      1. Like the old recruiting slogan of the late 1970s said, “There’s no life like it.”

        Has NDHQ tried to get former members of MS-13 yet? If they’re good enough for Brenda, they should be good enough for the military, right?

    2. “Yazzzzzz”! Just learned that term. Thought that it would be appropriate here if I am using it correctly.

    3. I keep having the image of the gay actor playing Hitler in the play “Springtime for Hitler and Germany” within the movie “The Producers” with Zero Mostel and and the actor who played in “Young Frankenstein”.
      (I am having an “old age” moment – can’t remember his name for the life of me!)

  2. From the “truth in advertising” department, I present Cliff Robertson in Battle of the Coral Sea:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afmVnsBpvpQ

    Robertson plays a sub commander whose boat is damaged and the crew are captured by the Japanese. For most of its running time, it’s a mediocre POW drama. The actual bang-bang and ka-boom implied by the title happens in the last few minutes.

    So why am I pointing out this flick? Robertson, as usual, gives a decent performance. It was made a few years after Picnic (which some may consider his break-out movie) and soon after he was in the war film The Naked and the Dead.

    Apparently, George Takei was in a “don’t blink you’ll miss him” role, though I didn’t notice him in this movie. Takei would later play the pilot of the ship that collided with PT-109 in the film of the same name.

    I had hoped it would be similar to the mid-1970s Midway, would have made it interesting, but, at least, this flick lasts just under 90 minutes.

      1. I have to admit that I haven’t seen too many movies about the French Revolution, except for, maybe, Les Miserables, partly because I had to read it while I was in school.

        Mind you, there have been TV shows which had it as part of their plots like one episode of Horatio Hornblower which ran on A & E about 20 years ago (back when that channel was still worth watching). I think the original Poldark touched on it as well.

        1. “Les Miz” follows the career of Jean Valjean from 1815 to the rebellion of 1832 , long after the French Revolution which began in 1789 and continued for some bloody years afterwards until the formation of the French Consulate in 1799. Napoleon appeared on the scene by 1799 as he served as First Consul from 1799 to 1804, at which point he became the Emperor of France.

      2. Or, as Abe Frohman, the sausage king of Chicago would put it, “It was the best of times, it was the wurst of times.”

    1. Just saw “ The Naked and the Dead” with Raymond Massey as well. Was way too over acted and poorly directed in my opinion and was for the most part unwatchable despite the fact that they had good source material. Cliff Robertson comes off like a smug liberal. They tried the same with the Caine Mutiny which is a masterpiece.

  3. Uniforms no longer divided by gender
    CAF uniforms will no longer be divided into “male” and “female” categories, and can be worn in combination.
    Link below. Note that it is the CBC, I hate giving them clicks.
    “Under the current Dress Instructions, only women are permitted to wear skirts and blouses as part of a uniform. The revisions allow men to wear these items as well”
    Yes, Pvt Bloggings can now have facial tattoos, long hair, and wear a skirt. That is sure to help recruitment.

    1. You can never find an asteroid on a collision course with Planet Earth when you need one……

    2. Basically they are destroying any moral left and making many question there commitment. Dress code is being tossed. The most important thing is the pronouns. It is just more destruction of anything that is seen as a core value .

    3. It’s almost… like… Jushitin wants to be… conquered… by…. China?!

      1. Those would be kilts. Back in the day men wore kilts while women in Canadian highland regiments wore trews.

  4. “The mission of the United States Army is to be absolutely fabulous, inshallah!” – Ray Jing Hardon, Chief of Staff

    1. Thanks for link Linda. 251 times higher viral loads in jabbed nurses.
      The health authorities knowingly spread the BIG LIE. But MPs like Poliviere had no clue and stayed silent vs, calling BS and exposing the big lie the mandates were based on ???

      1. JS

        That has been a Crusade of mine as well. Only 3 Canadian Politicians opened their mouths throughout this Tyrannical Bullshit:

        Randy Hillier
        Derek Sloan
        Max Bernier.

        The rest, Country wide including Provincial Politicians and Mayors all shut their mouths and said SQUAT….AND actively participated in this first attempt at GENOCIDE
        I for one, Will NEVER FORGET that.

  5. The mission of the US military is to move the degeneracy Overton window into crackpot territory.

    1. “The mission of the US Army is to lose.”

      Whatever happened to killing half of them and have the other half beg for their lives and promise to be good? 77 years since the US won a war.

    1. And, last year, its mission was to skedaddle and leave a lot of it behind for the enemy.

    1. Uh, wasn’t he a French war hero during WW I and that’s why those landmarks bear his name?

      1. He was.
        Later in life he was also the “leader” of Vichy France, who cowardly appeased, if not supported, Hitler’s regime.

      1. Or Mo Strong. Maybe what’s-her-name who’s on our $10 bill now. (I still don’t know who she is and why she’s supposed to be important and, no, I don’t want to find out.)

    2. Also about renaming but not BC

      Flaw in Moreland City Council’s rocky road to wokeism

      THE MOCKER

      Moreland Council is changing its name because of its links to slavery. Picture: Supplied.

      The decision last Sunday by Melbourne’s Moreland City Council to change its name to Merri-bek is but another example of confected outrage and ratepayer-funded revisionism.

      But in the council’s haste to act, its members have created a bigger problem in chambers, one that could put the fight for decolonisation back decades,

      The Mocker tells the mayor in this open letter:

      Dear Mayor Mark Riley,

      As one of the many Australians who is blinded by white privilege, I did not at first recognise that the name of an eighteenth-century Jamaican sugar plantation which used slave labour was detrimental to the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people of Victoria.

      Maybe my ignorance was due to irrelevant considerations such as Jamaica being over 15,000km from Melbourne. Or the fact that Dr Farquhar McCrae, who in 1839 named his newly purchased lands ‘Moreland’ after his grandfather’s plantation, was not a slaveholder but a surgeon. Silly me thought the Jamaican lands in question had as much to do with the plight of Indigenous Australians as you do with reality.

      And never mind that slavery had ended in Jamaica by the time McCrae named his estate. Even a lengthy academic report you commissioned concluded that “No historical record identifies Farquhar’s motivations or intentions for naming his colonial Melbourne property”.

      That was your basis for surmising there was a “very strong link” between slavery and the name of the council. “We really couldn’t just sit on this for too long,” you said in December soon after you were appointed mayor. “We needed to act fairly quickly.”

      Exactly why you and your fellow Greens councillors had to act quickly is not clear. Perhaps you feared the less enlightened elements of Moreland, having discovered this most tenuous of connections, would abduct Africans and enslave them. Thus began your tokenistic and expensive charade otherwise known as a “community engagement process”.

      Instead of asking Moreland residents if they wanted to change the city title, you told them to choose from a list of three names nominated by the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation. Would it be Wa-dam-buk, Jerrang, or Merri-bek? Presumably you would have no objections if in a few years a conservative-dominated council presents residents with a similar fait accompli. Guess what everyone: we are changing the name of Merri-bek, and your choices are Cook, Phillip and Macquarie.

      And this is where it becomes truly farcical. As the minutes of your last meeting note, “Children were consulted about the options for names at five early years centres across Moreland”. Early years centres? Yes, I’m sure that age category could readily and objectively assess the merits of this proposal. Of the 164 children ‘consulted,’ all of them were in favour of replacing Moreland with an Indigenous name. Funny that.

      Expensive as this pretence was, it is a pittance compared to the cost of implementing the name change. You have already set aside half a million dollars for the work to be carried out in the next two years, but that is just the start. The council concedes it will take a minimum of 10 years to make the necessary changes in an area covering 58 square kms.

      One of the dissenting councillors, Oscar Yildiz, estimates the full cost to be around nine million dollars. As the Herald Sun reported in March, you yourself allegedly intervened to stop independent councillor Helen Pavlidis from questioning chief executive Cathy Henderson about the cost of the name change.

      This logistical upheaval for the sake of semantics makes for one enormous carbon footprint. What was it you said last year upon being elected? “A warming planet is a risk to everything we hold dear here at Moreland: our environment, our health, our wellbeing, and our vibrant local economy. This is a critical priority for us.”

      Turn it up. Your critical priority is usurping the resources of local government to advance your undemocratic, militant, and pervasive ideology. And as this case shows, you see the ratepayer not as a constituent but as someone to sponge off to fund your self-indulgence.

      In February, ABC Melbourne reported that school children in Moreland were using pedestrian crossings unmanned by supervisors. Your excuse was you could not find enough people to fill vacancies. When asked by host Raf Epstein how much they were paid you had no idea. After all, that is a local government issue. You are too busy leading the life of Riley.

      Incidentally, you and your fellow councillors might want to consider the ramifications of this decision. For example, when speaking in December in support of a name change, Moreland deputy mayor Lambros Tapinos cited his Greek heritage to empathise with Indigenous Australians. “I understand the pains of past dispossession and I understand that this pain is cross-generational,” he said.

      Evidently Tapinos’s cross-generational pain is such he has forgotten that Ancient Greece was built on slavery. Next time he is invited to the Spartan Community of Brunswick, he might want to consider how helots fared in the society from which it took its name. Should Greek-Australians be forced to relinquish aspects of their heritage on this basis or does that apply only to Anglo-Australians?

      As for you, Mayor Riley, have you ever heard of Centre for the Study of the Legacies of British Slavery? They have a very interesting website. I just discovered that one Samuel Riley owned a plantation in Hanover, Jamaica between 1778 and 1823. And guess what? He also owned around 130 slaves.

      I know this revelation about your heritage must be devastating. But by your own measure, you cannot deny your surname has a very strong link with slavery. As the self-appointed commissar for correct names, you must act quickly and change it. I appreciate this is an obliteration of your identity, but as you constantly remind us, the priority is appeasing Indigenous activists.

      Admittedly there is much inconvenience involved, not to mention considerable expense. You would have to stick your hand in your own pocket, and I know how upsetting that must be for a carefree spender of other people’s money. You will be receiving as much compensation as the many Moreland businesses that have to cater to your folly. In other words, nothing.

      If you have trouble coming up with a new surname, give me a yell. Trust me, I already have a few in mind.

    3. Marshall Petain was a NAZI collaborator who after the war was sentenced to death…later Commuted to LIFE in Prison.

      I have the feeling those places named after hime were done so prior to WWII and shortly after WWI, in which he gained Fame for stopping the Germans.

      Why it took 75+ years to rename these places just blows me away.

      1. Does that mean that Prinz Dummkopf might go to jail for exaggerating his–ahem–“capability” with the ladies?

        (Pssst! Your Highness! Henry Stimson once remarked that “Gentlemen don’t read each other’s mail.” Then again, you’re not a gentleman, are you?)

  8. The mission of the US Army is to never allow confirmation that there are foreign enemies, and follow the orders of the C in C no matter what part of the constitution is violated.

  9. Boris Johnson is going to resign because his Cabinet is revolting.

    Canadian politicians are cowardly, and stupid, of course, but there’s faint hope they’ll learn something…

    1. Oh, I’m sure that Prinz Dummkopf finds his cabinet revolting (except for a certain minister who shall remain nameless), but that won’t be reason enough for him to resign.

    2. Considering they got their portfolio due to their ability to genuflect sufficiently to satisfy PM Leisure Suit Larry they will never do anything to jeopardize their meal ticket no matter how outrageous the malfeasance he commits.

    1. Ah, so Boris got the O’Noodle treatment. He was (Alison) Redforded off, so to speak.

      And this seems to comes as a SURPRISE to those doing the testing…

      And for those thinking about one…there will Be NO REVOLUTION in Battery technology – it’s already at its Zenith.

      Now a miniaturized Nuclear power plant…?? that would be the ticket no.??

      The article mentions El Dorado, which was a re-make of Rio Bravo (John Wayne and Robert Mitchum, directed by Howard Hawks).

      The Godfather wasn’t his only collaboration with Robert Duvall. They were in the SF movie Countdown a bit earlier (which, I believe, was the first one directed by Robert Altman–watch for Ted Knight as a NASA public relations spokesman). He played a civilian scientist astronaut and Duvall’s character came from the military.

      Other roles he played were a professional burglar in Thief, a soldier in A Bridge Too Far, and a sailor in Cinderella Liberty.

  10. While the Ottawa police force can spare four officers to fly to Alberta to pick up Tamara Lich for an alleged bail violation on a charge of mischief, it is doing nothing to stop the gang bangers shooting up Ottawa and each other. The latest gang killing was Tuesday, and, surprise, surprise, diversity revealed itself once more in the shooting:

    “The 24-year-old man who was shot on Tuesday on Banff Avenue has died, police reported on Thursday morning.

    The victim was identified by police as Abdulhamid Haji Ragab

    The shooting occurred at around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday in the 200 block of Banff Avenue, in the Banff/Ledbury neighbourhood. Police do not have a suspect in custody.”

    And as is also the norm, the shooting was in an Ottawa public housing project where diversity is most prominent.

      1. If the police do discover that information, they never release it since it would undermine the leftist narrative that banning legal gun sales will end gun violence.
        The police also never release the type of gun used which they usually know from the bullet casings recovered at the scene or from the bullets in the victim. Again, that would contradict the leftist narrative since it would reveal that it is a hand gun, which is already extremely difficult to purchase legally in Canada.
