I just left the street to get to WiFi. This video is completely unedited.
I started shooting with my Canon Mark III 5d (ancient!) but switched to iPhone when a man got a violent look on his face. I did not switch to make him happy but because my iPhone has autofocus and can shoot closer. My guess is he was somehow related to the police.

There is massive faux outrage over the video and manifesto being shared online. Meanwhile, Hitler's Mein Kampf is being sold on Amazon.com, while videos of jets crashing into the twin towers are copiously available on YouTube. Videos of people jumping and falling from the burning buildings can be found in seconds on YouTube.

Amazing that Barbara and George were married 73 years. Barbara led the way only months ago. George was sure to follow soon. He must have terribly missed Barbara.
Should we mourn the loss of two such well spent lives? Such lives should be celebrated. Only their bodies are gone. They wore out their flesh but their souls are still here. Good people never die.
Barbara and President Bush fought the good fight, they finished the course, they kept the faith.

911, what is your emergency?
Countless journalists and others have dedicated substantial portions of the recent two years screaming that President Trump would start a war.
All this time later -- we were all supposed to be dead by now -- Trump has utterly failed at starting a war beyond Twitter.
But now, the latest great hope for Trump war rests on the brutal murder of a Saudi citizen by Saudi citizens almost certainly ordered by King Tut himself, probably while sitting in a gold jacuzzi with Stoney Daniels or whatever her name is.

"The three countries received a combined more than $500 million in funding from the U.S. in fiscal year 2017."
===
Cut it in half. If that does not work, keep cutting it in half month after month.
These countries should be amazingly wealthy. They live in a secure part of the world, other than from themselves. All three countries have access to the sea.
Honduras and Guatemala have access to the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico, with easy access to the United States and major markets across the world.
El Salvador sits right there on the Pacific.

Many words flying around: "Why doesn't Trump do something!?" (Always the interrobang on this one.)
Firstly, let's talk about precedence and reality. The world is filled with savagery. Pick any compass heading and there will be savagery. Often under our own feet.
Why doesn't Trump turn the seas into fresh water to solve the water crisis!? Why doesn't Merkel do this? Putin? That guy Xi?
Well, back to precedence.

The New York Times article linked at the bottom discussing the Chinese backfire is worth a slow, quiet read.
But first, Yuri Bezmenov, the famous KGB defector, talks about this problem during his interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX3EZCVj2XA
Yuri is worth watching start to end. I have published him numerous times.

1) FBI has already been caught red-handed trying to influence the election. There is no escaping this. No wiggle room. Simply busted.
2) Even if FBI were neutral.... No credible investigation, analysis, and report, and be conducted can completed in one week.

Suicide Car bomb: Our men were burning alive -- only brute strength and courage could get them out. Every second counted.
Secretary of Defense and former Infantryman James Mattis is under attack for experience-based common sense.
This is far beyond normal idiocy. This is the Twilight Zone of stupid.
I served in the Army during peacetime, and then later spent more combat time with infantry troops than just about any war correspondent you ever have heard of. That top 1% of 1%, I was there. Just like Joe Galloway and very few others.

This is great, but our space research remains frustratingly primitive. We are like a bunch of monkeys with a few pocket monoculars.
Even this, plus the Hubble, Chandra, Spitzer, Compton (R.I.P.), everything up on the hill in Hawaii, plus all the hills around the world, plus all the Celestron PowerSeeker 70AZs ever built, are together little more than the equivalent of handing out a few monoculars to map the earth on horseback.
Oh, and the Webb space observatory, gasp, which project first began when, 1848? Will it ever get off the ground at this rate? We sink billions after billions with enormous delays into single-use telescopes.

Afghanistan: British MQ-9 Reaper UAV Delivering to Taliban
Note: the author is aware that the word “drone” has been expanded by popular usage to include any unmanned vehicle whether remotely or autonomously guided.
“Drone” attacks are not new. From my upcoming book, THE BOMB BOYS:
“Chinese described using the fire pheasant about 1,000 years ago. The idea was to capture pheasants in enemy terrain and, when needed, attach incendiaries to the pheasants then release them to fly home.”

As per normal, some folks are upset that law enforcement has not immediately announced the name, and we all know the reasons why everyone wants to know the name and where the gun came from.
You will sometimes hear military and intelligence people using the term OODA Loop. Increasingly, my friends in law enforcement use the same term.
For those who never heard of OODA, great idea to study up. This is worth the time to web search and learn. Applications are endless.

The Chinese wage three types of war: Economic, Information, and Kinetic.
Our team is neck deep studying and countering the information war.
Daily Caller reports that Senator Dianne Feinstein's Chinese spy, Russell Lowe, went to work for a Comfort Women (CW) organization when he left her. Feinstein has been a primary CW proponent.

This was our final test to earn entry into Special Forces (Green Berets). It's called Robin Sage.
The short version is that your 12 man A-Team receives a mission. The team plans the mission which requires a great deal of thinking and finally memorization of details of the plan. The team then conducts a "brief back" to the commander and other involved commanders and parties.
For Robin Sage, the mission is to parachute into the fictitious country of "Pineland." (North Carolina has a lot of pine trees.)

Kevin Williams, left, and John Paul Finnigan were battle buddies in Iraq
They saw a lot of combat. I was with them for some of it. Great Soldiers. Swift and Bold was the moto of their unit, the excellent 2-Rifles.
I do not know who made the photograph of Kevin. I made the photograph of John after a big firefight in which about 30 enemy were killed. The unit later was accused of war crimes for that firefight but that was a lie. I witnessed zero war crimes. Just a big shootout with thousands of bullets coming and going.
The firefight.

BookX – The Michael Yon Campfire Series
I am an author, photographer, war correspondent, and former cannibal hunter. Stick with me, and you might find this to be the most interesting fundraiser you’ve ever seen. The best parts are near the end.
According to Los Angeles Times, my simple website was once one of the busiest in the world. This success was accomplished with only a laptop, camera, and willingness to swim deeper into war than practically any correspondent.
According to the New York Times,
“…[Michael Yon] has spent most of the last three years in Iraq, writing prolifically and graphically, and racking up more time embedded with combat units than any other journalist, according to the United States military. He has been shot at, buffeted by explosions and seen more people maimed — fighters and civilians, adults and children — than he can count.”
I was just getting started when that article came out in 2008. The ‘best’ is yet to come. Readers who invested in me always got their money’s worth.

We attended Winter Haven High School together and sometimes worked out together and were on the same football team.
Scott went on to become the youngest Navy SEAL ever, at just 17. The same age that some students today say, "We are just kids, leave us alone." At 17, Scott was no kid. He was a man. And a SEAL.

If it were not happening to me so often, all these complaints might seem like exaggeration. They are not exaggeration. Of the recent about 120 days, my account has been blocked for 60 days. Why? This earned the first 30-day Facebook suspension:
