“We may not ever be welcomed back. “There's nothing worse for a soldier to imagine-that there will be no home to return to once the violence is over, no way to become the men we want to be. Instead, we’re trapped in these violent guises, guises we only ever had the courage to don because of how much we love our home. “Is this all we'll ever be?” - Darrow, Iron Gold by Pierce Brown

Thanks for sharing. We all grow and learn from our experiences. At least, we should grow and learn from them.

“It’s my duty as a free man to read so I’m not blind, being led around by my nose.” - Dancer, Iron Gold by Pierce Brown

“Our worlds made us what we are, and all this pain we suffer is to fix the folly of those who came before, who shaped the world in their image and left us the ruin of their feast.” - Darrow, Morning Star by Pierce Brown

Your task is not to foresee the future, but enable it. - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

“War is not monstrous for making corpses of men so much as it is for making machines of them. And woe to those who have no use in war except to feed the machines.” - Pierce Brown, Morning Star

What a great time to be a man

Dear MAGA, You don’t have to do what the TV says just because it’s your guy in the chair. The TV is still lying to you even when they agree with your guy in the chair. Especially when they agree with the guy in the chair! Respectfully, OpLibertas

Having fought in two of the wars they lied us into, I have first hand knowledge of an ally using a false flag to keep the US in a war by blaming a shared enemy. The last time it was Trump and it was a Chemical Attack. Khan Shaykhun, April 4th, 2017. Trump struck the Syrian Regime with cruise missiles. He was praised for looking “Presidential” by the media who hated him. Then I received a call tasking us to find evidence that the chemical attack was carried out by the Syrian Regime. As one of, if not THE, closets DoD asset capable of conducting this mission, it made sense. I wasn’t told this at the time but thanks to open source reporting and the Great Scott Horton, I figured out that the chemical used had been a known agent in the arsenal of an ally who had used it in the past. Don’t fall for false flags. The US government doesn’t need to conduct them anymore. The MIC has outsourced that to useful allies.

“It is not the strong who benefit in their system, no matter what they say. It is the weak. It is the ones willing to do anything, sacrifice anything, to rise. It rewards avarice.”

"That's the problem with people, though, isn't it? They always think that other people are the problem. You want to remove the Princeps The senators? You'll just become them, sooner or later. If all you're trying to do is change who's in control, then you don't really want to change anything." - The Will of the Many

This place has been open for as long as Iran has been 5 years away from a nuclear weapon

"The structure of this place is meant to mimic the Heirarchy. So how hard you work and how smart you are is ... not irrelevant, obviously. But they're only factors in a much larger equation. You keep thinking of it as a fair system. Be good enough, and you'll be justly rewarded. The best rise to the top. All that rotting nonsense. Do you think it's any different, out there? Do you think that every single Septimus stuck in their position is less talented than every single Sextus? Or even less talented than the Sextus they’re ceding to? A fair system only works if there's an unbiased means of assessing merit. When there is no pride or selfishness involved. Which means that fair systems cannot exist where people are involved.” - The Will of the Many, by James Islington

Happy Father’s Day

We spent 30 years listening to Israel say that Iran was 5 years away from getting a nuke Meanwhile, Israel has had nukes for over 50 years Who’s the real threat?

“That’s the power of the Heirarchy—we do, because there is no standing apart. You fight the tyranny of the many, or you are one of them. Silence is a statement, Diago. Inaction picks a side. And when those lead to personal benefit, they are complicity.” - The Will of the Many, by James Islington
