Resurrecting This Old Blog

Lazarus was only dead four days.  CIIDG was dead nine years.  Don’t know how long it will stay alive this go around.  Took a long time to do what had to be done to post this.  Never had the patience or motivation until now.  Operation Enduring Freedom was 54 months of my life.  Three Forward Operating Bases.  Anyway, many dead links to be culled, prescient predictions to bragged upon, dumb stuff to be deleted.

The winning stock market strategy right now

BC commenter RagnarD:

5 to 10 acres in a defensible place with an off the grid water source. Greenhouse. Fractional precious metals in .223, .40, .45, .22LR, etc. Some stock like chickens, a pig or two, beef on the hoof. Hunting skills. Stashed starches in enough quantity to live for at least two years. Heirloom seeds.

Hard times are coming. Harder than most Americans can even imagine. Harder even than The Great Depression. Root, hog, or die, and the weakest go to the wall. Those who survive the culling will create a society with a low tolerance for bullshit and high expectations of the people it accepts as full fledged members.

I hope that’s what the unculled do. Hope is not a plan.

Cyberwarfare joins the curriculum at service academies

http://www.stripes.com/news/cyberwarfare-joins-the-curriculum-at-service-academies-1.158642

It is good to teach young butter bars cyberwar, but there are millions of their contemporaries in the general population who already have madder skills than these proto-Regulars will ever acquire on .gov’s dime. Whose job is it to seek out civilian irregular information operators and rally them to the .gov side?

Chinese military mobilises cybermilitias

http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/33dc83e4-c800-11e0-9501-00144feabdc0.html#axzz1adjgTg66

The cybermilitia’s tasks include “stealing, changing and erasing data” on enemy networks and their intrusion with the goal of “deception, jamming, disruption, throttling and paralysis”

What capability does the U. S. military have to mobilize American cybermilitias?

Interim Security of Critical Infrastructure

. . . an all-volunteer local defense force that vastly outnumbers the approximate number of insurgents in the district. Capt. Paul J. Kasich, the commander of the Marine police mentoring team in Marjah, estimates ISCI to be almost the size of a battalion.

At that size, ISCI is approximately three times larger than the insurgent force in Marjah was last summer, when resistance to coalition forces was notably stronger. At that time, there were between 200 and 300 insurgents, according to a Small Wars Journal article written by Brett Van Ess last July.

The emergence of ISCI has several implications regarding the counterinsurgency campaign in Marjah. The first is coalition forces obvious size advantage – ISCI being only a sliver of the total coalition force, which also includes a Marine battalion, an Afghan National Army Kandak, and various departments of Afghan National Police.

The deeper implication, however, lies in the composition of the force itself. Unlike the ANA and ANP, which are comprised of Afghans from all over the country, the ISCI is made up entirely of local citizens led by local elders. Members of ISCI patrol their own neighborhoods, which are delineated by a canal system the U.S. helped build during the 1950s. In essence, the local ISCI force represents a grass-roots resistance to insurgents.

Arbakai Shake Down

An anonymous Afghan employee of The New York Slimes contributed reporting from Kunduz, Afghanistan in which the term for the traditional Pashtun tribal law enforcement arrangement is used synonymously with Afghan Local Police, who should not be referred to as Sons of Afghanistan.

Primetime Propaganda

http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/06/primetime_propaganda.html

They’re more interested in creating liberal propaganda than in creating profitable programming. That preference is literally killing television.

The story of America’s victory over terror in Mesopotamia needs to be told.

Stealth Black Hawk down: revised sketch (via David Cenciotti’s weblog)

SEALs don’t fly these, they ride in them. Blowing it in place rather than attempting to recover it seemed odd to me when they were telling me it was a Blackhawk.

Here's the new version of the famous Black Helo which crashed during the Osama Bin Laden raid.  I've studied the details that surfaced in the last few hours and after reviewing the many feedbacks I've received (with suggestions, speculations, etc) Ugo Crisponi of Aviation Graphic has created another (more realistic) version of the helicopter. Thanks to all those who left comments to the yesterday's article. … Read More

Where is the strategic communication plan?

This group would screw-up a wet dream (pun intended).

Where is the strategic communication plan?

No picture, no thorough read-through before the presser. This from the most brilliant man to ever hold the office, who assembled the most brilliant team of adults -that would reset our relationship with the world.

By the end of this week, bin Laden will be on the grassy knoll with Adolf, Elvis, and Michael Jackson in a UFO built by the Koch Bros financed by money from the Templars en route to a meeting of the Council on Foreign Relations after first stopping at the Cremation of Care ceremony run by the Bohemian Grove and doing the bidding of the Illuminati and Howard Hughes’ love child GWB.

I have the utmost respect for Naval Special Warfare and the personal integrity of their operators. If one of them tells me they got bin Laden, I’ll take his word for it. From most others, doveryai, no proveryai (Доверяй, но проверяй).

Gas Pump Activism (via Disrupt the Narrative)

Do you have to take these gas prices in silence? I don't think so. All you have to do is download this pdf, print out a few copies and put them, along with a roll of Scotch tape, into your car. The next time you fill up, instead of watching in horror as the dollar amount on the pump races by as the gallons trickle into your tank, afix one of these to the pump. Take care to not cover vital information regarding safety, etc. and don't cover any adv … Read More
