Note from the Editor:
Teaching others to be wise killers, just like me, was the last thing I did as a United States Marine. As before, I was extracted from the unit I was with, sent off on my own, and commissioned as an instructor at the new fake town they’d built in the desert in the heart of our latest middle-of-nowhere base. For months turning into seasons, I trained and then helped teach and train thousands of others. All told, we put a dozen Marine battalions through hundreds of classes and courses, each, better preparing more than 33,000 U.S. Marines for combat operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and beyond.
There were days where the temperatures soared above 135, and shifts that never seemed to end. Sometimes, the other instructors and I didn’t make it back to our barracks or bunks until midnight or after, and sometimes not until the next day. Hundreds of Iraqi-American roleplayers hung out and vented with us out there, and I did my best to be hospitable to them –even when the braindead asshole Marines tried to intimidate us into staying far apart, never even communicating at all. It was an interesting time, and again I felt like I was part of some anti-racist ‘underground’.
I think my favorite moments during these final days and nights in the American military were when I pulled the best ‘underground’ members aside for training that was not approved; the kind of training that had worked on deployments overseas, and which would save their lives for sure. I taught them the things I’d learned while training with Recon and others. I showed them how to be more fluid, dynamic, and perfect. Small-squad room-clearing, new hand-and-arm signals, and even special ‘mind tricks’ were discussed and honed. It was the second-stage partial-manifestation of the Elite Team I’d set into motion as far back as high school, and I could see in their eyes how many ‘light bulbs had turned on’.

Poking Fun at Fake News:
Another few fake-news organizations worth mentioning in this final episode of the season:
- The New York Times: Follow the money; note where this one is based, who runs the whole city, and what their whole religion and philosophy are about. Not a single story ever aired, printed, or told by these people should be believed.
- The Society of Professional Journalists: I find it very difficult to believe that any organization which feels the need to include an adjective, such as “professional”, in their name is what they claim to be. Imagine adding that word to other business names; The Professional New York Times, The Huffington Post of Professionals, Professional Cable News Network, and so on. You get the idea; it is childish and suspicious. Why not also call it The Society of Grown-up Journalists, or more directly imply that all other journalist organizations are NOT professional?
- Al Jazeera: In case you don’t know this one, it is the biggest “news” presence across the Middle East and other regions overseas. Just like the Abrahamic-dominated ones you ARE familiar with, Al Jazeera is Abrahamic-dominated with the Islamic brand of ultra-biased gibberish.
Some simple logic for you: The bigger an organization gets, and the more people it tries to please and provide for, the more it tries to regulate what it puts out, not wanting to offend anyone, preferring instead to shock, seduce, and keep convinced. The biggest organizations, whether they are news outlets or superpowers, are subject to the worst of those effects. It is impossible for news passing through that many opinions and filters to come out the other side looking anything like it did when the stories were first generated. Watch and read with that in mind; you are getting fake news.
