My time in the Marine Corps is coming to an end. I could stay in the organization as long as I wish, but I feel there is no point. All the talented officers I know are resigning

I wanted to share with Atlas readers a letter I received from a
Marine captain I correspond with from time to time. His missive is
tragic, and articulates all that I have warned of, predicted and worried
so over for years. It bodes most ill ........
Men carrying fake gun shot by real one in robbery attempt
Via Lone Voice
Two would-be robbers were shot Friday night after they burst into a home with a fake gun and, authorities said, met a person inside with a real one.
The two men were in serious condition at the hospital Friday night, and both had suffered multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies were called to the home in the 4400 block of Land O'Lakes Boulevard shortly before 6 p.m.
Five people, including a 2-year-old, were inside the home at the time of the attempted robbery, according to authorities.
No one inside was injured, deputies said, but a visitor to the home pulled out a .40-caliber handgun and shot the two men.
The suspected robbers stumbled outside and collapsed on the sidewalk.

New Yorkers attacked with hammers by black youths
Roundabout via Angry Mike
via The New York Post:
Two men were attacked blocks apart in Harlem early yesterday by a hammer-wielding gang of thugs, police sources said.
The first victim of the seemingly random violence, Timmie Sampson, 31, was hit in the head with a hammer outside 1370 Fifth Ave., at East 115th Street, at about 12:45 a.m.
Sources said he was set upon by a gang of five or six black males wearing white T-shirts, and that at least one of the goons struck him over the head with a hammer.
Although I'm a New Yorker, I have not stepped a foot into Harlem in over
20 years and for good reason. Ten years ago, Michael Bloomberg
attempted to gentrify Black and Hispanic neighborhoods through NYC.
Bloomberg's plan, if successful, would have relocated the people living
in those communities, which also happened to be high crime area but in
the midst of gentrification came the recession.
Next came the useful idiots, i.e., young Caucasian Communists,
Socialists aka Occupy Wall Street goons, most of whom are middle class
or elitists with a trust fund don’t have a clue.

Who's fault is it when someone chooses to rape, rob, beat someone, murder, deface or steal someone else's property and generally behave like a thug?

This gets really tiring.... (Robert Reich vomits forth)
Look Robert, I happen to know more than a bit about what happened in Detroit. My family on my father's side grew up and lived in River Rouge. Yes, that suburb of Detroit -- a place of steel plants, car plants and other industry. A gentrified area that slowly turned into a sewer.
Here's the real "awkward" question -- what is your rational response when crime starts to move higher where you live? Should you simply sit and take it as your cars are stolen, your building defaced, your daughter raped, your grandmother mugged on the way back from church, and in addition pay ever-higher taxes in order to "suppress" these changes? Or is it more rational to move and let the animals fight among themselves -- a process that continues until there are only animals left?
This gets really tiring.... (Robert Reich vomits forth)
In other words, much in modern America depends on where you draw boundaries, and who's inside and who's outside. Who is included in the social contract? If "Detroit" is defined as the larger metropolitan area that includes its suburbs, "Detroit" has enough money to provide all its residents with adequate if not good public services, without falling into bankruptcy. Politically, it would come down to a question of whether the more affluent areas of this "Detroit" were willing to subsidize the poor inner-city through their tax dollars, and help it rebound. That's an awkward question that the more affluent areas would probably rather not have to face.It is?

NC: Spanish fort discovered in Morganton
Via The Drawn Cutlass
Before the Lost Colony at Roanoke Island, before the Jamestown settlement in Virginia, there was Fort San Juan in the North Carolina foothills.
Archaeologists studying a ceremonial mound from a Native American town called Joara last month discovered the first inland fort built by Europeans in the New World, near present-day Morganton.
For nearly three decades, researchers worked at what’s known as the Berry archaeological site, certain it could reveal clues about the presence of one of six Spanish forts from the 16th century. But they lacked the evidence for any of the fortifications until now.
The discovery “solidifies our interpretation that we have found Joara and Fort San Juan,” said David Moore, an archaeologist at Warren Wilson College near Asheville and a co-director of the 27-year excavation project.

Why The US Is Building A Totalitarian System
…The key ingredient in bringing tyranny to America is a left-right coalition that will institutionalize the Surveillance State, and destroy the last remnants of the Bill of Rights. United on the need to continue America’s wars of aggression in the Middle East and elsewhere, this left-right coalition is closing ranks in Congress and in the hawkish wings of both parties in defense of the Surveillance State.
