A Blood Sport, Not Politics – The Domestic Cognitive War
America is witnessing an internal insurrection and subversion from the enemy within. We must stop calling what we see “politics,” for it is not, it is a blood sport for absolute power…The Democrat party does not want a country of laws, it wants a dictatorship, hence it continues to project exactly what they are doing on others so that their sheep, the useful idiots, their indoctrinated masses who protest “no kings” will continue to do their dirty work for them.

The B in EBT stands for Bentley
“Somewhere in America, a Lamborghini owner is buying groceries on the taxpayer’s dime.” I owe my mean old wife an apology because for years I have told readers that she is the reason I don’t own a Bentley. Sure, she won’t give me permission to buy one, but that’s not the reason. The real reason …
Operations Of The Deep State You Can’t Handle The Truth Edition: Like Termites In Your House You Believe You Can Kill One At A Time (You Can’t) Part 2
Which means that when we see the near unanimous faux outage from the EU members against the Trump administration at something like the Global Security Forum in Munich, the LSMBTGANF in America fails to report among showcasing the effort that it has been bought and paid for by the Biden Administration through US tax dollars via US government funded and coordinated efforts and approved work plans through USAID and NGOs and US Think Tanks, FFRDC and academia, among other collaborators.

Parillo Examines Federalist 16
On why the Framers determined that our President should not and would not be a King
Velvet Chains, Filtered Reality: Freedom with Guardrails
Elections still happen. Parties still act like it’s a steel-cage match. But on the fundamentals—the wiring of the economy, the growth of the administrative state, the handshake between government and corporate power—the menu is pre-selected. You’re not choosing dinner; you’re choosing the garnish. The work of Martin Gilens and Benjamin Page (2014) didn’t need conspiracy theories to make the point: policy outcomes tend to track the preferences of economic elites far more than average voters. Translation: your vote counts; your leverage doesn’t.

The Separation Of Media And State
The freedom of the press is enshrined in the very first amendment for a good reason. It wasn’t haphazardly placed there. Our Founders realized that in order to control the urges of the powerful, who run government, to grow even more powerful, a free press was needed to keep tabs on the ruling class.
The Life of an Army Staff Officer in Operations Research & Analysis: A Journey from Captain to Lieutenant Colonel
The life of an Army staff officer is often defined by long hours, endless PowerPoint slides, and the constant demand for data-driven decisions. For those in Functional Area 49 (Operations Research & Systems Analysis, or ORSA), this reality is amplified. We were expected to be the Army’s decision scientists, using data and analytical rigor to guide strategy, resource allocation, and operational planning. However, somewhere along the way—from 1997 to 2017—the Army lost its way, shifting from genuine analysis-driven decision-making to an environment where analysis became a justification tool for pre-determined conclusions.
