Shouting into the void:
Fuck Palestine. We should raze the place to the ground, rout out every person we find, and hold the territory as an outpost for our mission to destroy Islam.
…and miss me with that “simping for the goos” bullshit. The bottom line is, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Taqiyya in action…
This is a new TTP, by the way, and they were testing it out in a regional theater where they could control things better.
Why try to hijack a plane from the passenger side when you can sneak a terrorist in as a pilot?
These types of attacks are the future.
They will utilize access and placement in strategic locations to lower risk and improve outcomes.
How many terrorists have been in the US for years training in jobs, maintaining a clean record, and even making friends, to hide their ultimate goals?
This is a long game strategy.
True masculinity is sacrificial; time and wealth, bodies and lives, safety and security, wants and wishes, we forego to provide for and to protect our families and communities.
“Toxic” masculinity is selfish and vain, always calculating what’s to be gained for itself. Duty and responsibility are an inconvenient imposition and a loathsome burden.
Thus, Christ is the ultimate masculine archetype. His selfless acceptance of indescribable suffering and an ignominious death for all of our salvation is the guiding light all men must strive to follow.
Christ is King.
Islam’s fundamental motivation is conquest… whether by the sword or by the ballot or by reproduction.
Since they cannot win martially, they are using our own systems and ethics to weaken our will and our institutions.
Rewatching the footage of that day really brings back, all at once, the emotions I felt in the aftermath: fear, rage, and incredible sadness.
This is perhaps the clearest audio of flight 175 barreling down and eventually into the south tower.
Those 2 young men, as well as millions of others who were rather in manhattan that day or watching events unfold live, knew in that instance that this was no longer an accident, and this was indeed an attack on America and it’s people.

Apparently, the University of Michigan’s College of Literature, Science, and the Arts has determined not to count letter grades toward its freshmen’s GPAs during their first semester, starting in 2027. The reason given is that this move will address the growing mental health crisis among young people. Nothing could be further from the truth. It will, in fact, exacerbate the crisis.
Across cultures, one can discern a common pattern in the initiation rituals of primal peoples. The elders of the tribe rip a young person from the comfort of his home during the night. He is then scarified or otherwise physically marked in some way—a tooth is knocked out or his face is cut—in order to impress upon him that life is difficult.
Then he is introduced to the lore and history of his people, and finally he is taken to the edge of the wilderness, given a few simple provisions, and told to make his way for an extended period of time.
The entire purpose of the exercise is to break him free from the dominance of his self-regarding feelings and to orient him to the achievement of objective goods.
Plato famously compared the soul to a horse-drawn chariot. The animals represent the passions, which provide energy for the vehicle, and the driver represents intelligence and refined moral consciousness. As long as the charioteer is in place, the chariot makes its way purposefully. But if the charioteer is kicked out, the horses will run amok.
Our “suicidally empathetic” culture, which consistently privileges feeling over objective value, has produced armies of dangerously uninitiated young people. In terms of Plato’s metaphor, it has given rise to lots and lots of chariots with no sense of direction, crashing into one another.
Electing not to count first-semester grades toward students’ GPAs in order to spare the delicate emotions of eighteen-year-olds is, spiritually speaking, about as dumb a move as a university could make.

This is a mental health incident, the man is clearly not fit to stand trial
I’ve also heard he was called a cracker and therefore we must see arrests for hate speech to find out if this was true.
🇬🇧‼️🚨 BREAKING: A SCOT WENT ON AN ANTI MUSLIM RAMPAGE WITH AN AXE!
The Scot: "I'm protecting the country from these fucking Muslim bastards raping our young daughters!"
5 people were injured, the Police said none of the injuries seem to be life-threatening. Two of the injured men were aged 22, and others were aged 24, 27, and 39.
BBC UNDERLINES RACE: “A 36-year-old white man has been arrested and counter terrorism officers have joined local Police Scotland colleagues in an ongoing investigation. “

Saying remigration is the solution to this is like saying morphine is the solution to a gangrenous infection.
The tribal warfare on your streets is the symptom, like the Babylonian invasion of old that was inevitable result of a nation that turned it's back on God.
So what, you kick all these guys out and then go back to being a godless heathen society that murders it's own babies in the womb and mutilates it's own children's genitals and then arrests pastors for speaking out against it?
Managing the symptoms is part of the treatment protocol, certainly - but the root cause of this sickness that needs to be addressed is the dead and rotting flesh that is the spiritual state of our nations.
Our departure from the righteous principles that upheld our institutions and our borders and the very morality of our nation itself is the very same cause of these hordes running wild in our streets.
Listen, I know about the people behind the scenes enabling this madness.
They are a parasite.
But a parasite can only thrive in the host, if the host is sick.
Look around you.
Does our society look spiritually healthy to you?
If it isn't this, what you see on this screen now, it will be invasion by a foreign nation, or economic collapse, or drought or pestilence and plague, or any of a thousand horrors that wait to befall a nation that no longer relies on God to sustain and protect it.
The West only exists because it was built on Christ.
Understand that when you say "the West" you are really and truly saying "Christendom".
My brothers, you can't have reconquista without first having revival.
You want Christendom back?
Put God in His rightful place, or you will see images like this flooding your screens day after day until there's nothing left.
2 Chron. 7:14

The last thing I’ll say tonight is that I’m not against ethical training. I’m against treating it as the first instinct every time.
If a Soldier can’t shoot, move, communicate, endure hardship, close with the enemy, and win, then we’re arguing about the paint color while the house is burning down.
The uncomfortable truth is that our ethics only matter because we possess the strength to enforce them. Nobody asks permission from the weak. Nobody fears the weak. Nobody follows the weak.
America brings light into the world because America carries a sword. The lantern and the sword were never competitors. One protects the other.
What worries me is the operational laziness behind all of this. It is easier to teach a class on values than it is to build a warrior. Easier to lecture than train. Easier to write a PowerPoint than create combat power.
Decadent societies always drift this direction. They become obsessed with appearing virtuous because they have forgotten the hard work required to remain strong.
Then reality arrives. Reality ALWAYS arrives.
And reality does not care how many ethics slides were in the briefing. It cares whether your Soldiers can fight and win.
I want this lazy virtue signaling approach removed from our military.
Well said Eric. Well said.
We're just going to skip the ethics of sending an untrained, physically weak, and ill-equipped soldier into combat and jump right to "this is how to behave".
Certain officers need to remember what the M in DIME-FIL means and that it is the "big stick" that makes every other letter meaningful. The M needs to be razor sharp, ruthless, and unyielding. If you want polite and "carrots" talk to the other letters in a respectful way. If not...you get the M until you want to be respectful. If officers want to be part of the "carrot crew" they need to get out and join the other letters.
Oh the irony!
