Milo Mindbender Rules

Image result for images of catch 22 cover

Milo Mindbender
was the metaphor 
for the Industrial Military Complex
now despite his efforts
the good guys won

If a conventional war
was fought today
there might be a
very different outcome

In Summary the Milo Mindbenders
masters of the USA
have squandered quite
pile of cash on
weapons and systems
that are not world class

Maybe it has always been
so obvious
and Trump has just made
it clear
American Foreign Policy 
today is nothing more
than a Black Friday
in reverse
The company forcing you
to buy by creating an environment
that is toxic

Into an area accustomed to 
the gloved fist
it will be interesting to see
how far bare knuckles
can stretch the reality 
distortion field

War Criminal Style Politics


It starts with a hard
issue that can
be painted black or
white
when really
its a rainbow
reflecting society
Mess up the colors
and you get Rwanda
or Sarajevo

The conservatives
are playing pure detective
with the fate of convicted
criminals of the worst sort
coincidentally both are female

The justice system is the
foundation of society
do not fuck with Judges
Juries or executioners of Justice

Its just like education
parents do not know
best

ROBIN TROWER - Bridge Of Sighs

Just a flesh wound in an existential fight for sovereignty

GOODBYE, NAFTA. HELLO,


In a David vs Goliath battle
with the loyal opposition praying
for defeat
Justin Trudeau
played a terrible hand
extraordinarily well
and emerged with only
a couple of flesh wounds

The Dairy concessions
were nothing new
we had already agreed to the
same terms with Europe
and TPP

Patent Protection was a complete
loss
but try fighting big Pharmacy
when the live on your border

Great Job Justin
suck it Scheer

good company


"I wasn't a misanthrope and 

I wasn't a misogynist but 

I liked being alone. 

It felt good to sit alone in a 

small space and smoke and drink. 

I had always been 

good company for myself."

Charles Bukowski

F35 heritage view


One of my hobby horses
is an examination of the F35
as a metaphor for the toxic
soup cooked by the 
Military Industrial Complex

The truth is out there
way out there in
Fifth Generation Stealth mode

The unvarnished truth right
from the horses mouth
comes from pilots who
actually fly the plane

Contrary to everything 
else the critics say
this is the best plane
ever in all its roles
and to top it off
its dirt cheap
talk about
salt pork

This is the money quote for me

"A former A-10 instructor pilot said the situational awareness aids associated with the sensor suite of the F-35A allowed pilots to execute close air support missions as well or better than the A-10 in low-threat environments. The F-35A is the only multirole platform capable of conducting close air support in high-threat environments." Weasel words in bold. A Cessna is suitable for combat in a low threat environment. The best multi-role platform in the world is useless if its the worst at every role.

I am not a pilot
never been in combat
however the A10 is a flying gattling gun
the F35 as of today does not have
a gun that works


The money quote
"Even if the designers are eventually able to fix the sighting problems, the design of the plane itself hinders using the cannon for the close support mission. Effectively employing the cannon requires the aircraft to fly low and close to the target and to survive ground fire, an impossibility for an aircraft as thin-skinned and highly flammable as the F-35"

Whatever the F35 turns out to be
a better close air support plane
than the A10 is almost

certainly nonsense

The source of the article
praising the F35
as Gods Gift to the USA
is the Heritage Group
who IMHO
have a heritage
of distortion
and disbelief
