Today let’s talk about Deb Holland.  She might be the bestest postergirl for what is wrong with America’s government right now. I just spent some irritating minutes watching YouTube videos of not-Democrat senators and congressmen asking her questions. If you want a quick political adrenaloutrage rush thing, this little series should do it.

As an aside, I want to go off in a direction suggested by the last of the above three vids — the plight of American Indian tribes and depredation of tribal lands brought by international drug cartels (presently of mostly Mexican ownership identity). The considerable deterioration in material life brought to the reservations by drug cartels is a byproduct of the Democrat open border policy, to include not only the huge increase in cartel footsoldier numbers, but also the impunity that Democratic Party structures directly and indirectly afford the cartels. It is another depressing and maddening shame brought to us by that collaboration of criminals. That said, I want to highlight an interesting more-than-detail regarding the nature of property ownership. It is something I saw in government-run land tenure systems and reform attempts in Mexico, Honduras, Colombia and other places in Latin America. Like the United States and Canada, the Iberoamerican countries are home to large indigenous landholdings. Summarizing mightily here, it turns out that socialist political parties, drug gangs and hybrids of the two greatly favor traditional centralized tribal leadership schemes over the privatization and particularization of land ownership. The former format keeps the vast majority of tribal populations powerless. Moreover, it presents to criminal organizations infinitely smaller tribal leadership target groups to bribe and blackmail. When we remember that there are a lot of bad people, and then we key in on the significance of planned impunity in their modus operandi, we again see why disperse property ownership is likely to correlate with liberty.

I decided to make another comment at Willie OAM’s site. Here below is that comment in full:

“Willie, at around the 19- or 20-minute mark you talk about how the US won’t pull out of NATO. You had also talked a bit about how Zelensky has a ten-year dream. Too soon to say, who can tell, but the probability is that we elect Donald Trump as the next President. The US Ship-of-State being large and cumbersome, any new helmsman who might want to radically change directions will find how the ship doesn’t respond thusly. The US especially suffers inertia in policies and in whatever ideology or interests fuel those policies. The deep state is real, durable and jealous. Nevertheless, things will have a different flavor if an anti-Democrat/anti-Uniparty crew gains top-end influence within the 2025 administration. The notion of ‘pulling out of NATO’ is too on-off, but NATO might take a serious demotion in accordance with the lack of respect a Trump crew will accord that gun club and its reasons for being. Money toward the Ukrainian laundromat will likely continue to flow, but at a much slower pace and lower level. Any decade-long vision for the Zelensky war will be moot nonsense. The borders of post-war Ukraine will emerge within two years of the new US inauguration, that is, by January 2027. What will they look like? Entertaining for us to guess, I guess. My guess? Russia keeps everything it has at this moment plus Kharkiv and Odessa. Curious to see if Transdniestria grows. The new Ukrainya will not be in NATO and will be allowed a military only suitable for defending itself against a Slovakian onslaught. In Muhther Ruhsia, peace treaty make YOU.”

Am I wrong?

I just now made a comment on the Willie OAM site. I had noted that during his presentation and unlike the Military Summary Channel’s moring report, that Willie had taken information about Russian advances in the Robotnye are ‘with a grain of salt.’ My comment was, in relevant part, “Makes sense, given so many months of back-and-forth followed by more of nothing from that direction. Still, it’s a place we should now watch with extra care. The Russians have a deception master plan plenty good enough to keep me confused. More consequentially, there is little reason for confidence that the Russians can’t keep Western intel agencies confused.  We might want to put the lull in Robotnye activity alongside the withdrawal of the Russian Navy.  Wasn’t there recently a burst in the use of Kalibre missiles?  Might be a tell, and so might  taking the little town of Robotnye. Maybe the Russians feel they have successfully addressed the fleet’s vulnerabilities. Maybe maybe the big play is to take Odessa, or maybe the big play is to make a big play for Odessa, thus leaving Kharkiv abandoned. In any case, his Macroness did noting to scare the Russians away from the jewel — which reasonably, historically, logically, strategically, is Catherine’s port. No?” Keep in mind, Willie OAM is almost always correct. So there is that.

Here’s how to do it in your community, county, state. (You’re welcome.)

1. Stop using the terms ‘homeless’ or ‘homelessness’;
2. Address five distinct if overlapping categories of persons —  criminals, drug addicts, mentally infirm, mentally retarded and shiftless;
3. Approach each of the five categories of persons in terms of geographic architectural isolation;
4. Build or improve a home for the mentally infirm. A gothic style building is entirely appropriate. Hire actual doctors and inspect. The facility should be located away from urban areas, a long way into the woods or on top of a hill if possible. Legislate to the effect that if a person with a clinical mental health problem is living out-of-code in a zone where building and occupation certification codes apply, that they can be removed and institutionalized.
5. Build or improve on jails or prisons. Soviet Socialist concrete modern is an acceptable style. Hire more policemen, legislate strictness and deselect soft judges such that more criminals are thrown into the jails and kept there, suffering so that would-be/wannabe criminals think it not a nice place to be. The facility should be located with good fields of fire, away from urban areas if possible.
6. Build or improve on drug rehab homes for public users of illegal drugs. Make it a felony for anyone to have knowledge of the identity or whereabouts of an illegal drug supplier without reporting same to law enforcement. In other words, even if recreational use is legal, withholding knowledge about the illegal drug supplier would not be.  Make detention in a drug rehab center the penalty for not giving information to police regarding the source of the user’s drug.  Do not allow drugs into the rehab home except as prescribed by a medical doctor. A gothic/soviet socialist postmodern hybrid design style is appropriate here. This facility should be located away from urban areas, not too far from the home for the mentally infirm if possible.
7. Build or improve on a work farm. Keep this well out of town if possible. This farm, for the shiftless (aka bum, hobo, vagrant) should have a camping area. The architecture should be Civilian Conservation Corps/ National Forest Fire Outpost style. Good ventilation. It should not be hard from which to escape, but a resident’s returning to a zone of removal (see number 9) should be a misdemeanor, recidivism for which could earn classification into another category.
8. Build or improve on school facilities and dorm opportunities for the mentally retarded and improve work placement opportunities and family outreach for these individuals. Keep them apart from the other four categories if at all possible. The architectural style should be as home-like as is affordable.
9. Create zones of removal wherein camping (defined as sleeping in a structure not in accordance with local building and occupation certification rules or sleeping horizontally without a structure) is illegal [with the exception of sunbathing, provided one is wearing a bathing suit, has been watching their diet, working out regularly and is not old old]. Here’s hoping the Supreme Court comes through in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson.

Winning Insurgent War, Winning Irregular War and On Multiform War all bored their dozens of readers with what a big deal roadblocking is. Roadblocks will be a featured layer in our coming GIS War for America Map. Roadblocks have been in the news recently in the form of anti-Jewish protests on major bridges. These protests were neither spontaneous nor coincidental. Sadly, roadblocks like these succeed most when local law enforcement structures are coopted, compromised or neutralized. Soon, on the Long Prompts page, I’ll post a ‘remastered’ version of the roadblocks section of On Multiform War. On Multiform War uses the word roadblock or a derivative about 87 times, about 33 of those times in ‘Section 78, Roadblocks and Checkpoints,’ 25 in cross references to Section 78, and the rest spread out into about fifteen or sixteen other sections. It probably could have fit usefully into more than a hundred sections, but hey, On Multiform War is a geography book, so of course everything is shown to influence everything else. Roadblocks have been a mappable thing in all kinds of warfare, very much to include multiform. They are today basic-basic, used effectively by all sides from Antifa (identity which these days paradoxically includes anti-Jews) to Belgian vegetable farmers (who by the grace of God have large tractors). As I like to repeat over and over again and again, we realize the full value of things only if they are moved, so reducing movement always threatens value. Where to block is therefore a central focus of a leader’s coup d’oeil.

1. There is no friendly, safe or peaceful intention to what the mullahs just did;
2. They launched a big test;
3. The test had the extra benefit of using up some Israeli air defense;
4. The United States government is feckless and deceitful in its attitude toward the Israeli position. The notion that Israel should make no offensive response (calling such a response an escalation) is evil nonsense. The only effective defense is to defang and declaw the enemy. Our administration’s policy is to deny Israel an effective defense. The Obama/biden stance is pro-mullah. Tell Israel they can only use the shield and not the sword? The Democrat Party has been trying to abandon Israel and is now succeeding;
5. Our legacy propaganda outlets paint Iran’s swarm drone and missile attack as a ‘reaction’ to and ‘retaliation’ for Israel’s bombing an Iranian military HQ in Damascus. That characterizing is disingenuous. Iran has been attacking Israel all along, and everyone knows it;
6. The Iranian attack had to have cost a lot less money than did Israel’s air defense effort;
7. The attack on Israel, as well as what’s going on in Ukraine, show us that industrial manufacturing capacity still greatly influences a county’s prospects in a war;
8. Enough low or medium-tech weapons can overcome top-end technological advantage;
9. The United Nations is of no friendly use in any of this, it is an enemy organization;
10. Our pushing Russia into alliance with both China and Iran is mega-geostupidit (or just treasonous). The American deep state/Democratic Party seems to have busied itself secretly aiding the regimes in Iran, China, Brazil, etc… (also aiding the anti-America United Nations) Our rulers keep giving advantage to these foreign entities in part due to a common leftiness and in part to pure corruption.  Those foreign dictators and clerics who our rulers help then ally with the leaders in Russia. Meanwhile, our regime sends money and weapons to corruptionists in Ukraine who are losing that space to the Russians anyway. It is all maddeningly dumb and evil and wholly anti-America.
11. Are we doomed?  Yes, if we don’t make a change pretty soon.
