WHAT IS STORMBRINGER?

I've been on the road a LOT, at least 50% of the past two-and-a-half years, to all the garden spots: Nigeria, Ethiopia, Dem. Rep. of the Congo, Pakistan, El Salvador (OK that wasn't so bad), Israel (THAT was a fun trip!), Bangladesh, South Africa, South Sudan, Kenya, Mali and East Timor. Work has interfered with writing, which is my main thing - or at least, I wish I could make it my main thing. Time for a realignment of the aiming stakes. If you're a new visitor to Blog STORMBRINGER, this is what it's all about. If you have seen it before, consider this refresher training. Cheers, and thank you for your support! -S.L.

STORMBRINGER is a military blog, primarily dedicated to honoring heroes of the great US / UK / ANZAC / CANADA / ISRAEL Alliance in this conflict forced upon us by the Evildoers of Islamic Fundamentalism. Themes include reports on international security, great battles and notable events of military history, the greatness of Ancient Greece and Rome (and how the civilization of Ancient Rome still exists and prevails), the story of United States Army Special Forces (the Green Berets) and of course from time to time bits of my personal philosophy; inspired by Aristotle, Cicero, Atilla the Hun, John Locke, Benjamin Franklin, the Duke of Wellington, Winston Churchill, Ayn Rand and Rush Limbaugh, to name a few.

An essential ingredient of my personal philosophy - a.k.a. The Philosophy of STORMBRINGERISM - is what Ayn Rand refers to as laizee-faire capitalism. The phrase laissez-faire (pronounced: lah-zay-fair) is French and literally means "let do", but it broadly implies "let it be", or "leave it alone." In economics, laissez-faire describes an environment in which transactions between private parties are free from state intervention, including restrictive regulations, taxes, tariffs and enforced monopolies.

Also from Ayn Rand, I embrace the concept of Human Exceptionalism; the belief that human beings have special status in nature based on their unique capacities. This belief is the grounding for some naturalistic concepts of human rights. Taking it a step further, Rush Limbaugh describes the philosophy of American Exceptionalism: the theory that the United States is qualitatively different from other nations. This stems from our emergence from a revolution, and the uniquely American ideology, based on liberty, egalitarianism, individualism, populism and laissez-faire. This observation is traced to Alexis de Tocqueville, the first writer to describe the United States as "exceptional."

STORMBRINGERISM is also about the Cult of the 1911 and the individuals right to self-defense - up to and including lethal force - is a justifiable defense in a court of law:

Pistol US M1911 .45ACP

But, you say, how does this include the Great Alliance; our worthy allies the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel?

Simple: the American experience would not have been if the foundations of Democracy had not been laid in Britain, and before that in Ancient Rome, and before that Ancient Greece. In that, the UK is the Mother Country - has been and always will be - and by default this makes Canada, Australia and New Zealand our brothers and sisters.

But . . . but . . . what about tiny (yet MIGHTY) Israel?

Israel is the oldest country, and at the same time the youngest. The ancient Egyptian Empire and civilization has come and gone . . .

Nobody speaks in hieroglyphics anymore.

. . . and the people who built the pyramids are not the same folks who live in Egypt today. Likewise Babylon . . .

Nobody speaks in cuneiform anymore.

. . . it is gone, ground into the dust, even less of it left than in Egypt. There is still a Syria, but the ancient Assyrian Empire is dead and gone and it's people flung far and wide across the globe in diaspora.

Of these ancient kingdoms and empires of the Old Testament, only Israel remains, the smallest - yet most powerful - of all the countries of the Middle East.

The oldest country in the Middle East is also the only modern democracy in the Middle East.

Modern Israel exists because of Britain and the United States - if it was up to the rest of Europe and the Middle East there wouldn't even be anybody left to occupy a State of Israel. The Islamists - al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Mullah-led theocracy of Iran - view Israel as a Western foothold in their territory, much like the Crusader Kingdoms a thousand years ago. They - the radicals who have hijacked Islam - consider it only a question of time until they drive the Israelis into the sea and get that land back.

As such, Israel is with us, or like the Israeli girls say:

"Don't worry America - ISRAEL IS BEHIND YOU ! ! !"

"VISIT ISRAEL BEFORE ISRAEL VISITS YOU."

Speaking of babes, when I first signed up, SOLDIER Magazine always had a bikini babe featured on the back cover. Along the way they started rationing the cheesecake until sometime toward the end of my first tour I picked up a copy of SOLDIER and flipped to the back page. Staring back at me was a sergeant; all cami'd up and in full battle rattle - talk about taking a hard dose of reality. Well every now and then some imagery may appear on STORMBRINGER that is a throwback to an earlier, simpler time when it was okay for a warrior to tape a pinup girl in his wall locker, or depict one on the nose of his mighty war machine:

People send me all kinds of stuff to post in STORMBRINGER and I appreciate all the support I get. Most of the material sent is political, Tea Party/Make America Great Again-themed stuff - which is great, although I usually tend to wave off politics because it's done elsewhere, and I don't have time enough to dedicate the energy & creative juices to do it right.

PAINT IT BLACK

The Information Age is great - I can have running conversations with people on the other side of the planet. This came out of a meeting with Special Agent SUPERFREAK over in the UK, planning the next phase of Project STORMBRINGER . . . this vid clip is the FREAK's favorite Stones tune . . . S.L.



I was stationed in Okinawa when this show was on, we used to watch it on the Armed Forces Far East Network. The intro was the best part of the whole show, the stories were lame. Back in those days there was one channel on the F.E.N. so you watched what they wanted you to watch. All the G.I.s called "F.E.N." the Forced Entertainment Network.

Conversation:

STORMBRINGER: I just spent the last hour and a half clearing walkways and half the driveway so we can get in & out in case of emergency . . . too much wind blowing snow to do all at once. Blowing snow & ice all over my face.

SUPERFREAK: I'll trade if you like, I'd rather be clearing snow than watching the rain piss down.

STORMBRINGER: I was thinking about that while I was handling that snow blower like a team of mules.

SUPERFREAK: Thinking about what?

STORMBRINGER: About how we get these great winters while y'all get mostly rain . . . but YOU'RE in JOLLY OLDE ENGLAND . . . while I'm stuck in boring old North America.

SUPERFREAK: Anyone who would swop "Jolly Olde England" for America must be considered clinically insane and immediately locked up for their own safety! For all the problems at the moment, the U.S. is still the land of opportunity. Britain is the land of missed chances and lost opportunity. We are still being made to pay by the rest of the world for the sins of our forefathers,we are overrun by immigrants who we daren't say no to, despite the fact they are draining our resources. A large portion of our own citizens seem to think they are owed a living without them having to lift a finger whilst deserving people get screwed over yet again . . . who would choose that?!!

STORMBRINGER: You guys need a Tea Party.

SUPERFREAK:We've already got a Tea Party going on over here, our kind of Tea Party . . .

. . . what we need is a bloody miracle!

True, that . . . although they've just about ballsed things up permanently over here with the Obamacare, and the lovers & admirers of Northern European Socialism are in for a rude shock when they see how much inefficient, low budget Government healthcare is going to cost in taxes, fees and penalties . . .

CRY HAVOC!

. . . and let slip the Dogs of War! 

- William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

STORMBRINGER is about to fully enter the Culture War: the Left has become so inherently dangerous to the lives of ordinary Americans, and as such I can no longer simply regard the mob from my virtual ivory tower. I display the Snake flag on my blog and the Tea Party has become SO overwhelmingly huge - who'd ever imagine we'd be so POPULAR??? - its time for me to fish or cut bait.

In keeping with the military inspiration, I will dub this latest maneuver Operation OVERLORD because, like Eisenhower's mission in Europe, this is a Crusade in North America. This is especially apropos because America's most hated enemies call our soldiers (and those of our Allies) 'Crusaders'.

Starting today - along with the usual Conservative themes I will bring light upon leftist outrages, disinformation and political skullduggery from the Other Side - remember I was among the first to alert on Operation GunWalker
(which Obama's Justice Department under Eric Holder is stonewalling BTW).

Over the past three-odd years we have seen the Obama Administration pile up greater debt than the previous 43 administrations combined - 14 TRILLION! Our grandchildren will be paying for their share-the-wealth pipedreams, state-enforced redistribution of wealth and thinly-disguised political finance ponzi schemes. We have seen the tearing down of American power and pride around the world; witness an American President bowing and scraping to Oriental kings and potentates:

. . .

This same President apologizing for American 'excesses' to crowds of foreigners - in BERLIN of all places to the GERMANS of all people (Hell-O-O-O - any of you clowns in the Left Leaning Lamestream Media ever hear of that Final Solution operation those people had going back in the groovy Third Reich days?). And remember Berlin is the same city we defended against tyranny for fifty years - more on that theme to come. Our manned space program is cancelled for the first time since 1961, and we're so lacking in national leadership we can't even knock over a tinhorn dictator even if we wanted to - has anyone noticed the air war against Gadaffi has gone on now for almost a month longer than the Kosovo air war?


Let us always remember that it's darkest before the dawn. Our enemy may seem unbeatable, of limitless resources, our task monolithic and daunting; still we must continue the good fight and never falter in our determination, for our cause is immaculate, and the alternative: Socialism, and the end of the last great shining hope of the world - America - this is simply unthinkable.

Lies, Damned Lies and Jewish Statistics . . . . . . . . . . . by Dan Friedman

Yesterday I sent around a Gallup poll which showed Obama maintaining most of the overwhelming Jewish support he received in the ‘08 election. Political strategist Dick Morris did his own polling and comes to a different conclusion:

Obama is in the process of breaking the close relationship between his party and the Jewish community, a liaison first formed by Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s. In increasing numbers, American Jews and Jewish Democrats are leaving the president's side.

Have a look at Morris’s numbers here. - Dan Friedman NYC

THIS IS YOUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TAKING CARE OF YOU:

DC PUBLIC SCHOOL SERVES RAW ONIONS FOR SNACK

Students at Southeast's Turner Elementary were fed raw onions on Tuesday, instead of the zucchini slices the school's food provider, Chartwells, said it would serve as part of a federal initiative to provide healthy food to young learners.

When Trevor Rill picked up the snack bags from the cafeteria for his third-grade class, he found bundles of raw scallions - also known as spring onion - usually reserved for cooking.

"I asked the cafeteria workers, 'Are you serious?' and they said, 'This is what they sent us,'" said Rill, one of nine City Year corps members assigned to Turner. "So I held them out and said, 'This is what we have,' and the kids went nuts. Two of them ate it in front of me and said, 'This is disgusting.'"

YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK

Turner Elementary is one of the District's 53 public elementary schools participating in the Federal Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. Under the 2008 Farm Bill, the District received $1.2 million this school year to serve students a vegetable or piece of fruit outside of breakfast and lunch hours. The program is likely to expand to more schools next year as funding increases to $1.7 million.


They can't even get a school snack program right for the District of Columbia, and yet they tell us they can administer a healthcare program for all Americans across fifty states - yeah RIGHT.


Sergeant-Major LocloMancil of 5th Special Forces Group was a full-blooded Payute Indian who served in MACV-SOG in Vietnam. He once told me, "If you expect the Federal Government to take care of you, then take a look at what happened to the American Indian."

STORMBRINGER is not a political blog but I am a conservative and I will not stand by blind-deaf-and-dumb as the Democrats and their willing lackeys in the LLMM - Left-Leaning Liberal Mainstream Media - do everything in their power to turn this country into what I've seen first hand in Europe AND in the country of my birth, Australia; it is called S-O-C-I-A-L-I-S-M and believe you me, we do NOT want it here.

ULTIMATE RED HERRING

I've been saying as much for the past couple years - the whole deal about WHERE Barack Hussein Obama was born is NOT THE POINT.

In other words - Obama could have been born in Hawaii, he MAY have been born in Kenya, he might be a British subject and the argument could be made that he's a citizen of Indonesia.

But ultimately it doesn't matter ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. He was sworn in by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, in front of God, Congress and everyone, and that makes him President of the United States, whether or not he was born in Kenya, Hawaii, or on the Moon.

Today I heard Rush pick up the ball on this subject*

Quoting from the UK Daily Mail: "Hawaii Governor Claims Record of Obama's Birth 'Exists in Archives' but Can't Produce the Vital Document."

Rush's take is that Team Obama is playing this thing, hoping to whip the Tea Partiers up into a Birther frenzy over the whole birth certificate issue. Then, at the appropriate moment - sometime prior to the 2012 election - the Democrats produce the necessary paperwork and we're all made to look like a bunch of John Birchers; Moonbats, right up there with the 9-11 denial crowd and the rest of the Tinfoil Hat Brigade.

He is a total political animal. 

He got himself elected President of the United States

- without doing a damn thing -

and then won the Nobel Peace Prize 

- without doing a DAMN thing - 

pulling off a flim-flam like this is child's play to the Bamster.

Timing is critical on this thing, of course. Rush reminds us that on October 31st, 2008, Chiyome Fukino - Director of the Hawaii Department of Health - released a statement on this issue:

"There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.

"Therefore, I, as Director of Health for the State of Hawaii, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama's original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures."

That tells us one thing: THE PAPERWORK EXISTS.

Think about it - for years before Obama even entered politics, he traveled overseas ON A U.S. PASSPORT. Somebody tell me how you can acquire one of those things WITHOUT a valid birth certificate showing you were born in the United States or its overseas possessions and territories?

Well, OK, there are a couple of options, neither of which would apply to BHO: a Certificate of U.S. Citizenship - such as required of children born overseas of U.S. parentage (such as children of U.S. military families) - or a Naturalization Certificate (such as I have) that documents U.S. citizenship acquired via legal immigration and satisfying the requirements of the naturalization process.

Back when I ran the S-2 shop for 1st Bn / 3d SFG(A), one of my duties was to manage official passports and visas for overseas travel. Except for contingency operations, U.S. military personnel travel on official passports. Well, we had one guy - a young NCO in the headquarters & support company - he'd been adopted at birth and raised on an Indian reservation - Lakota Sioux. He didn't have a birth certificate - don't ask me how the recruiters got him in the U.S. Army - he could simply could NOT get a U.S. passport, and as such he could NOT deploy overseas with us.

When I left that position we still hadn't figured how this guy could deploy with the battalion. I went back down to an Operational Detachment "Alpha" (ODA) and to this day I don't know if it was ever sorted out.

Bottom Line: no proof of citizenship, no passport - point, blank and simple. No matter who you are. Obama's been traveling the world - as an American - since before he was in politics. This guy's got a passport - ergo: the paperwork exists.

 

No reason to get excited, 

the thief he kindly spoke.
There are many here among us
who feel that Life is but a joke.

But you and I we've been through that
and this is not our Fate.
So let us not talk falsely now
the Hour is getting Late.

* As a member of the working class, it is not possible for me to tune into Rush during the show's regular hours. For the years I was overseas this was a struggle; the best I could do was look at the website and read the shows transcripts. Now - thanks to iPod technology - I can download the show and listen to it on my time; in this case, as I drove about on my Sunday errands.

SECOND CHANCE

In case you just emerged from a coma or you live in a cave in northern Pakistan; Ted Williams is the homeless guy who became the subject of viral video that captivated the Internet:

The talking heads in the (mostly) Liberal Mainstream Media are having a slobbering love affair with this guy.


Keeping in spirit of the Land of Second Chances, this piece of human flotsam has been offered a full-time job AND a mortgage on a home by Quicken Loans Arena and the Cleveland Cavaliers. CNBC's Darren Rovell confirmed the authenticity of the offer on Twitter - there is no word whether the offer has been accepted or signed at this point.


FOR THE RECORD DEPT:

Thanks to the way Barney Frank and Chris Dodd screwed up the credit market it took me over FOUR MONTHS of hardcore number-crunching and creative paper-shuffling to qualify for the mortgage on the house I just closed on. Never mind the fact that my Army retirement covers the payments - I could flip burgers and STILL be living in hog heaven - because I'm a 1099 contractor and not a W-2 I got denied TWO TIMES. The second time I was turned down by Fannie Mae was on VETERANS DAY. That's a nice touch there; that's your Government taking care of it's own there . . . heh . . .


This modern Cinderella story brings to mind the Peter Sellers film Being There - a modern fable by Jerzy Kosinski.

The story goes: Chance the simple-minded gardener spent all his life in the Washington D.C. house of an old man. Chance never left the estate he worked until his employer dies, when he is put out on the street with no knowledge of the world except what he has learned from watching cartoons on TV. After a run-in with a limousine, he ends up the guest of a woman (Eve) and her husband Ben, an influential but sickly billionaire (who dwells in a wing of the mansion that's been converted into a high-end oxygen tent). Now called Chauncey Gardner, Chance becomes friend and confidante to Ben, and an unlikely political insider.

So what we basically have here with this Ted Williams guy is the story of Chance, the Gardener. He has become the quintessential overnight celebrity:

Andy Warhol's "fifteen minutes of fame", personified.


Watching the boobheads gush over this knucklehead, I joked to my wife, "You know, he's dating Katie Couric."

"SHUT UP! Get out of town! . . . REALLY?"

"Oh yeah, the vid clip of them gettin' down, her doing her Cougar dance on him - it's all over the Internet."

"Hhhmmmppphhh!!!"

In Being There, Chance's simple utterances are mistaken for profundity. At the end of the film Ben (the billionaire) succombs to his Hollywood chronic disease; as he is being interred into his mausoleum, we see the power brokers and kingmakers confer - Chauncey Gardner will be the next President of the United States.

Ted Williams is the talk of the town; my brother and I reviewed this phenomenon for AT LEAST fifteen minutes:

"He looks like Obama."

"Rush Limbaugh says he looks like Geraldo."

"I think he looks like Obama, once he got the haircut. I think he's a dead ringer. They could use him as a double; that other Hussein guy had about fifteen look-alikes."

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! DEPT:

Homeless-man-turned-Internet-sensation Ted Williams, 53, has a rap sheet that includes theft, robbery, escape, forgery and drug possession. The Brooklyn native has at least six mug shots:

The conclusion is obvious; Ted Williams should be the next President of the United States. That new 'No Labels' crowd could run him as their candidate; he is the perfect counterfoil to the Tea Party's Sarah Palin. He certainly meets Bill Buckley's criteria:

"I'd rather be governed by the first 200 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University."
- William F. Buckley

I dunno about looking like Obama, though. If you ask me, they finally found Buckwheat:

That's my story and I'm sticking to it . . .

LOST IN THE MAIL

Several New York jurisdictions admitted that they failed to mail out absentee ballots which allow the military to vote for the 2010 election. This has been known by the Justice Department since October 2, apparently.



No surprise here.

As long as I was in the Army the absentee ballot thing was a joke. It was an open secret that even if your ballot made it to wherever you voted, the Acorn types and the bureaucrats (i.e. Democrats) who own and operate the polls would do everything in their power to make sure the military ballots hit the round file, on the belief that the military votes overwhelmingly Republican.

Guys who worked in the military postal system told us of cartons of absentee ballots being shoved aside, not making it to polls. There is a kernal of truth to these stories, just like the dead people who vote in Cook County, Illinois and the hordes of inner city types that Acorn buses from poll to poll, allowing them to vote early, and often.

Moral of the story: Democrats have to cheat to win.

How else do you think that clown Al Franken got elected ? ? ?

POLITICAL GENIUS

I'm guessin' he's Tea Party . . . S.L.

PERSPECTIVES

It's a type of angst . . . the problem is I just don't know where I'm going with this thing . . .


I asked one of my confidants, one of the Gurus of the BlogoSphere: "Am I getting enough site visits? I'm averaging over 2500 a day - is that a lot?"

I was told; "2500 is a fabulous number for a personal site: the typical blog numbers its readers in the hundreds. You don't become a business though until you pass the 100,000 mark however."


That explains why I don't have an entourage . . .

. . . like Gwen Stefani and her posse of demented female ninja . . .

I peaked over 4200 site visits one day last week.


People are reading my great thoughts.


When I was a kid, I wanted to be a great writer, like the great Hemingway:

The problem was, I didn't feel I had anything great to write about.

So I went out and had all these Hemingway-esque adventures. Now I don't want to write about them because I don't want to come off sounding like Hemingway; some kind of a chest-beating self-aggrandizer.


I felt I would become a philosopher.


Then this Irishman in a bar laughed at me; "A PHILOSOPHER? That's for the old men with the grey beards. You're a young whippersnapper, you should be out LIVING your life, not PHILOSOPHIZING about it!"


This pure Irish wisdom fell right in line with my Zen training, so I went out and lived in the Eternal Now.

The trouble with living in the Eternal Now is it leaves no room for philosophizing . . .

. . . these are some of the dilemmas I struggle with . . .

Then there's the Birther Doc thing . . .





My post on Lt. Col. WingNut generated several comments that all sounded a similar theme. Here are a couple choice quotes:


"We hung men 70 years ago who just followed orders. For this man, that history means something."

and

"The Numerberg Trials settled the question of whether a soldier should follow illegal orders. If the prez is illegal then wouldn't his orders be illegal too?"


Lemme see here - the man was sworn in my Justice Roberts - who with eight of his co-workers knows more about legal and illegal than all of us put together - and if there was a case to be heard about the mysterious origins of Barack the Magic Negro, you'd think it'd be investigated at that level.


WHATEVER . . . hundreds of thousands of American G.I.'s who take their oaths seriously just got equated to Hitler's Nazi goons . . . by a pack of scoundrels wrapping themselves in Patriotism . . .


Scenario:
"Hey Private! Mop and buff that floor!"

"No way, sergeant, I don't have to!"

"HUH?"

"The President of the United States was born in Kenya - so that's an illegal order. I don't have to follow it."


WHAT KIND OF A WAY IS THIS TO RUN A MILITARY???


I want you Birther guys to back up and look at where your line of reasoning leads; this is the same line of reasoning the Code Pink / MoveOn dot Org crowd was throwing out there about Bush - HE wasn't legally elected EITHER . . . REMEMBER ? ? ?

So, what? - are we supposed to have half the military go into a state of mutiny every four to eight years just because they don't like the outcome of an election? There are countries where that is the norm, and I have served in several of them. They are called Banana Republics - and they are HELL ON EARTH.

Now stop and think . . . is that what you want the United States of America to look like? Because that is where this sort of mindset leads - Barack Obama is playing you like a cheap violin, and you are enabling him right along to his ultimate objective: to destroy the greatest country in the history of the world, cut us down to size and make us pay for being the "oppressor" nation to all the Third World little guys out there.

Always remember - the American Revolution is an eternal revolution - true - but it is also an INternal revolution.



We will prevail - we always do - but we won't prevail by advocating mutiny and the chaos and disruption that will bring. That is not what Blog STORMBRINGER is all about, and that is NOT what the Tea Party Movement is all about, either. There are some important elections coming up, and we are going to run the Obama crowd out of town on a rail . . .

MORNING ROUNDUP

Texas Governor Rick Perry Shoots Coyote That Threatened His Dog

Canis latrans - Not normally a threat to humans, they do go after small pets. In some areas coyotes have begun to act aggressively toward humans, chasing joggers and bicyclists, confronting people walking their dogs, and stalking small children.

" . . . Perry carries a .380 Ruger with hollow point bullets when jogging, as the area is known for coyotes harassing dogs and cats in the area and sometimes people. He primarily carries the pistol because he is afraid of snakes."


The next time I pack heat when I'm out on a long-distance run through the woods won't be the first time - for jogging I carry a lightweight frame Charter Arms five-round snub-nosed revolver loaded with ratshot for the snakes interspersed with hollowpoints for the big, two legged snakes. - S.L.
