Some Goodies From Ol' Remus
1943. Wilhelmsburg (?) Germany.
A flak tower under construction. This appears to be a Bauart Generation 2 Gun Tower, equipped with four twin 128mm Flak guns and many smaller guns. It matches up with a photo of this one in Wilhelmsburg . The famous Zoo Tower was a Generation 1.
G-Towers were accompanied by a smaller L-Tower used for command, armed with forty 20mm guns.
News24 - Rhodesians must 'come back and rebuild Zimbabwe', war vets say ... let's do it all over again
Gun control, Reason - Connecticut's recent "assault weapons" registration law achieved an underwhelming 15 percent compliance rate, and New York's similar requirement resulted in 5 percent compliance. Contrary to widely-accepted national myths, public gun ownership is commonplace in most European states. Public officials readily admit that unlicensed owners and unregistered guns greatly outnumber legal ones. In the United States "a pervasive culture of non-cooperation with public authorities" is exactly what we should expect in response to any future successes gun controllers might achieve legislation-wise. That will leave supporters of gun controls increasingly disarmed relative to their opponents.
American Pravda, Unz Review - The puppet master behind President Boris Yeltsin had planned to transform Russia into a fake two-party state—one social-democratic and one neoconservative—in which heated public battles would be fought on divisive, symbolic issues, while behind the scenes both parties would actually be controlled by the same ruling elites. With the citizenry thus permanently divided and popular dissatisfaction safely channeled into meaningless dead-ends, Russia’s rulers could maintain unlimited wealth and power for themselves, with little threat to their reign. Perhaps we can guess where Berezovsky got his idea for such a clever political scheme.
Diversity, Taki's Magazine - Pilsen is a predominantly Mexican neighborhood in Chicago’s Lower West Side. The protesters are “demanding that non-Mexican owners here and across the street get out of Pilsen.” Viva la Raza! There’s your identity politics, leftists. This is the logical conclusion of the race-centered worldview that the left encourages nonwhites to embrace. These “progressive” geniuses thought they could unleash that beast on whites alone. They thought they could feed it, nurture it, grow it big and fat, and still control it. How’s that workin’ out?
The Only Underwater Submarine Battle Ever, National Interest - ... Running submerged on batteries, Launders slipped the Venturer behind the German submarine and began tailing it. He was waiting for U-864 to surface before launching his torpedoes, but thanks to its snorkel, U-864 could operate underwater for extended periods of time. The German submarine began zigzagging side to side, likely having detected the British sub. After three hours of pursuit, the Venturer was running short on battery and would soon have to surface itself. Launders decided he would simply have to attack U-864 while it remained submerged.

I told you, barely more than a dozen hours ago, that someone would do a worldwide faceplant any minute.
USAFarce Gen. John "Dipshit Candyass" Hyten, come on down:
leaders managers to stop bending over with big red and white targets on their asses, and "Kick Me" signs on their yellow-striped backs.
So for the benefit of all concerned, the following.
I told you, barely more than a dozen hours ago, that someone would do a worldwide faceplant any minute.
USAFarce Gen. John "Dipshit Candyass" Hyten, come on down:
The top US nuclear commander has said that if President Trump ordered a nuclear attack that he disagreed with he would refuse.
Air Force General John Hyten on Saturday told an audience at the Halifax International Security Forum in Nova Scotia that he's thought a lot about what he will do if Trump orders a strike he considers illegal.
'I think some people think we're stupid,' Hyten said, responding to a question about the scenario, according to CBS News. He is the commander of the US Strategic Command, or STRATCOM.
'We're not stupid people. We think about these things a lot. When you have this responsibility, how do you not think about it?'
I'm not being insensitive here: I know picking on the US Air Farce, always an honorable alternative to military service, is like kicking the retarded kids. (But it feels so right!) So maybe those of you with influence in that organization could ask yourHyten said though that if the 'illegal' command did come, they would go through a process to find a better solution.

Fusion GPS paid journalists, court papers confirm
Via Billy
Newly filed court documents confirm that Fusion GPS, the company mostly responsible for the controversial “Trump dossier” on presidential candidate Donald Trump, made payments to three journalists between June 2016 until February 2017.
The revelation could be a breakthrough for House Republicans, who are exploring whether Fusion GPS used the dossier, which was later criticized for having inaccurate information on Trump, to feed anti-Trump stories to the press during and after the presidential campaign. The three journalists who were paid by Fusion GPS are known to have reported on "Russia issues relevant to [the committee's] investigation," the House Intelligence Committee said in a court filing.
But the recipients' names, the amounts, and purposes of those payments were either redacted from the documents that Fusion GPS filed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia or were not disclosed.

DOJ moves to strip citizenship for immigrant child sex abusers
Via Billy
The Department of Justice on Tuesday filed lawsuits to revoke the U.S. citizenship of five immigrants who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing minors in incidents determined to have taken place before they became naturalized, Fox News has learned.
“Committing fraud in any immigration matter undermines
the integrity of our immigration system, and is a betrayal of the
American people’s generosity,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a
statement. “It is especially appalling when it also involves the sexual
abuse of children.”
The Department of Justice on Tuesday filed lawsuits to revoke the U.S. citizenship of five immigrants who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing minors in incidents determined to have taken place before they became naturalized, Fox News has learned.
These individuals, according to the

concealing sexual abuse of minor victims during the naturalization
process.”

Justice Department Vows to Overturn California Judge’s Ruling on Sanctuary Cities and States
Via Billy
The Trump administration has vowed to overturn a federal judge's decision to block President Trump's executive order cutting off federal funds to sanctuary cities, counties, and states.
A federal judge in Northern California determined Monday that Trump cannot place new conditions on spending Congress has approved. The judge's ruling responded to lawsuits brought by two California counties, San Francisco and Santa Clara, taking exception to Trump's threat to cut off federal grants to localities that limit law enforcement's cooperation with U.S. immigration authorities.
The Justice Department late Monday countered that cities, counties, and states do not have the ability to flout federal law and continue receiving federal money without any repercussions.

Liberal California Now Poorest in Nation
The evidence is clear that if you want to live in a well-run state, you’re better off moving to a red one
A study by the non-profit group Truth in Accounting looked at the public financing and debt burdens of all fifty states, which have a total of $1.5 trillion in long-term debt. In blue states, there is an average of $22,214 in unfunded debt. In red states, that taxpayer burden is only $1,473.
Every day, roughly 1,000 people move from blue states to red states on net balance. That’s good news for red states. In 2013, Florida gained $8.2 billion in adjusted gross income from out-of-staters. Texas gained $5.9 billion in one year. And given the more business-friendly environment in red states, they tend to outperform their liberal counterparts in both population and job growth.
If you want a more extreme example, look no further than the most liberal state in the nation: California.

Accuser in UAB sex abuse case calls out Jones for 'hypocrisy' for position on Moore accusers
A woman who sued her university in 2001 over sexual abuse she allegedly suffered as a 15-year-old said Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Doug Jones questioned the timing and motivation of her accusations while defending employees of the University of Alabama at Birmingham in a $40 million lawsuit.
Brittany Benefield said she has been thinking about the case a lot in recent days as allegations surfaced that Jones' opponent, Roy Moore, engaged in inappropriate relationships with teen girls during his early 30s. Jones has said he finds Moore's accusers credible.
"I find it to be the height of hypocrisy that he sets his campaign to be on the moral high ground against Roy Moore," said Benefield.
