Army Major Exposes The US Military's Empire Of Secrecy

Truth is, the journalists at the Post don’t know the half of it; nor do they bother to report on the genuine secrecy and increasing lack of transparency in the Department of Defense. Nothing against the Post - neither do any of the other mainstream media outlets.

The military is a fierce, potentially brutal instrument, and anyone who cares about liberty ought to watch it closely.

Only that’s getting harder and harder to do in today’s political climate. On one issue after another the U.S. military has recently intensified its secrecy, has classified previously open information and has suppressed any remaining sense of transparency. Don’t just take my word for it: This week a relatively mainstream congressional Democrat, Adam Smith - a ranking member on the House Armed Services Committee—wrote at length on this very topic.

Make no mistake, these trends are long-standing and gradual. So, what follows is not some vacuous liberal attack on President Trump, who remains, for legal purposes, and so long as I remain in uniform, my commander in chief. Still, the time is long past when someone needs to scream from the proverbial mountaintop about America’s expanding empire of secrecy.

Soon after the inauguration, the military—which had long recognized and planned for the existential threat of climate change—received guidance to all but purge the term from its reports. It was to be replaced with more nebulous (and inaccurate) phrases, such as “extreme weather.”

The Navy has stopped publicly posting accident reports.

Then there is the internal censorship within the military’s computer networks. Recently, credible, left-leaning websites such as Tom Dispatch and The Intercept have reportedly been blocked on many government computers. It appears that the only crime of these sites is that they are, indeed, left-leaning. Need proof? Well, guess which genuinely racist, conspiracy-theory-peddling websites are not blocked? You guessed it: Breitbart and InfoWars.

That said, much of the move away from transparency has little to do with combat, so to speak, and more to do with politics.

EXCLUSIVE REPORT: 98.4 percent of Mizzou admin, 97.6 percent of faculty donate to Dems

Campus Reform analyzed the donation records of the University of Missouri System (Mizzou) employees from 2017-2018, using publicly available records from the Federal Election Commission, in order to determine the political leanings of faculty and administrators at the college.

According to a Campus Reform analysis, 98.4 percent of all Mizzou administrators who donated to political candidates or causes gave a total of $30,019.97 to Democrat politicians or Democrat organizations, such as congressional candidate Hallie Thomson and embattled Sen. Claire McCaskill.

In total, Mizzou employees donated $422,044.09 from 2017-2018. Of that amount, 96.7 percent were made to Democrat politicians or Democrat organizations, while just 3.3 percent of the donations were made to Republican politicians or Republican organizations. Only 12 Mizzou employees donated Republican, eight of whom were faculty members; one was an administrator.

Three hundred fifty-six faculty members, specifically, donated a total of $317,149.47 to politicians or political organizations. They contributed 97.6 percent of the money to Democrat politicians or organizations. Just 2.4 percent of donations, given by eight faculty members, went to Republican causes or politicians, like Representative Vicky Hartzler.

Meanwhile, 60 administrators donated $30,019.97 to Democrat political candidates and politicians, such as Renee Hoagenson’s congressional campaign. According to the records, there was only one donation made by Mizzou administrators to Republican politicians or Republican organizations from 2017-2018.

End Citizens United and Senator Claire McCaskill received the highest amount of donations in the Democrat category.

Background on Stacey Abrams - Governors race for Georgia

This article contains explicit sexual content.

As a romance novelist, Stacey Abrams leaned heavily on the word "plunder." Her books are filled with bursting, cresting, and arching. There's a fair amount of savoring. Men’s thighs are described as "muscled" and "corded."

That should give you some idea of the Georgia Democrat's literary style. Abrams moonlit as a novelist for years under the spectacular nom de plume Selena Montgomery, producing eight very steamy books between 2001 and 2009. .

Stacey Abrams’ Alter Ego - Selena Montgomery - Might Be The Key To Winning Georgia’s Election

Stacey Abrams has a dual identity. Or so says the website dedicated to her nom de plume, Selena Montgomery.

Years before making history on Tuesday night by becoming the first Black woman to win a major party’s nomination for governor, Abrams had a career writing romance novels as her side hustle while attending Yale Law School. In her book “Hidden Sins,” Montgomery writes about runaway teenager named Mara Reed who teams up with a sexy forensic anthropologist to confront a gruesome discovery — a room full of one hundred dead bodies from an unsolved crime. In “Reckless” she tells the story of Atlanta lawyer Kell Jameson who is forced to confront her past as an orphan when the head of her orphanage in rural Georgia is accused of murder. Montgomery's publisher describes her as “a lawyer by day and a writer during every waking hour.”

I have yet to read one of Selena Montgomery’s eight novels, but as a Georgia voter, I love that she is a part of Stacey Abrams. Abrams has established herself as a trailblazer in the political realm alone: She became the first African-American to lead in the House of Representatives when she was elected as the Georgia House Minority leader in 2007 and was only 29 years old when she was appointed Atlanta’s Deputy City Attorney. But the fact that she allowed herself to fully embrace her passion for writing while rising through the ranks of Georgia’s leadership, for me, adds another layer to her candidacy.

It takes an extraordinary amount of self-love and confidence to accept and nourish the different, seemingly conflicting sides of yourself. Writing romance novels and designing tax planning structures aren’t exactly complementary interests. As a burgeoning politician, indulging in writing is not as not as shrewd as say, taking up golf as a hobby in order to better network with the higher-ups. If you’re writing sagas about undercover operatives and steamy romance plot lines, you’re doing it because it’s what you love to do.

Granted, Abrams created a pen name because she was aware of the risks associated with projecting both identities under the same name. I’d be surprised if her opponents didn’t use it as a way to undercut her credibility, as has happened with female politicians who have dabbled in this space before. But that risk has not stopped Abrams from selling over 100,000 copies of her books, according to her website.

Yep. That was the Irish backass wood belief.

Glad we got rid of those witches by drowning them.
