Fort Knox Military Exercises Update

After publishing yesterday, Mr. Alexander was contacted by Command Staff at Ft. Knox who confirmed that there was a security exercise, but that the scenario circulated among officers, security personnel and civilians, had been altered to include "Tea Party" and "anti health care" protesters "in order to make it more realistic."

In his essay, Mr. Alexander wrote, "It's not likely that Ft. Knox Commanding General James Milano or Deputy Commander Col. David Teeples, or even the regimental and brigade commanders for the 16th Cav and 194th AB, actually read the exercise scenario..."

Indeed, Command personnel informed Mr. Alexander that they had neither read the scenario nor authorized it.

Further, Mr. Alexander was informed that the officer who authored the scenario had been identified and would be brought in for "appropriate counsel" to ensure no such highly politicized scenario finds its way into official channels again.

Mr. Alexander says he accepts the explanation provided by Command staff with the caveat that it is not clear why objections to this scenario were not raised within the command by those who received it, thus requiring objections to be raised by The Patriot Post.

I hope this is a lesson learned for those who needed to learn it. Dehumanizing opponents is the first step in creating a scenario of human rights abuse. We must continue to remain vigilant and not allow labeling or misrepresentation to occur. Unchallenged, it can have devastating results. Bravo to Mr. Alexander and the bloggers who publicized this story. And much appreciation to all of the men and women who continue to keep their oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Moscow Plans Posters Honoring Stalin, As US Troops March On Red Square

Stalin? STALIN??? Our young soldiers are going to be ordered by our Marxist-In-Chief to march in front of posters of STALIN in RED SQUARE? I think I'm going to be sick....

MOSCOW - Posters of Josef Stalin may be put up in Moscow for the first time in decades as part of the May 9 observance of Victory Day — the annual celebration of the defeat of Nazi Germany.

This year, the 65th anniversary of Germany's defeat, a contingent of U.S. troops is expected to march on Red Square, a striking sign of vaunted "reset" of American-Russian relations.

But Moscow city authorities may be preparing a less-welcome kind of reset with the posters, an honor denied since the Soviet dictator's crimes were publicly exposed more than half-a-century ago.

Excuse me. Our boys do not fight for this:

Under the dictatorship of Joseph Stalin, tens of millions of ordinary individuals were executed or imprisoned in labour camps that were little more than death camps. Perceived political orientation was the key variable in these mass atrocities. But gender played an important role, and in many respects the Purge period of Soviet history can be considered the worst gendercide of the twentieth century.

But it is probably too difficult to explain how offensive it is to a pResident who hangs a Mao Tse Tung ornament on the White House Christmas tree. To a pResident who flies the Red Chinese flag over the White House lawn. To a pResident who chooses avowed marxists as his advisors. No. I doubt he will understand.

OK, So the Pentagon Gunman Was A Truther And A Pothead

Somehow I doubt he was in the Tea Party.

Here is J Patrick Bedell's Wikipedia User Page in which he talks about "demolitions" on 9/11/2001, and complains bitterly about "unjust laws prohibiting cannibis." He linked from his Wikipedia page to the felony complaint by the Superior Court of Orange County, CA stating that he had cultivated marijuana and resisted arrest.

I'm not going to search for his photo. I don't like to put of photos of people like this. And by that I mean those who attack our brave American soldiers. Mr. Bedell is an enemy of the United States Military, and he is my enemy as well.
