Radical left-wing group posts BATTLE PLANS to unleash mass CHAOS and shoot Trump supporters in the streets if Trump wins the election
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
The left has always had their unhinged element. Occasionally they got to play in times past. There was a reason that Fidel sent his prison chief off to Bolivia. Sooner or later they start executing all and sundry. It takes a high level of stupidity and even blindness to walk their path.

The Allies Had the Germans Cornered, But the Battle for This Dutch Island Was Still Brutal
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* A key piece of Dutch real estate needed to be taken if the port of Antwerp were to become useful to the Allies. Look at a map of Holland. At the extreme southwest corner, connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway, is a peninsula known as Walcheren Island jutting into the North Sea. Think of Walcheren Island as a bowl, with raised edges and a depressed center (in this case, below sea level). Flowing south of Walcheren Island is the estuary of the River Scheldt that leads to the huge, deep-water port of Antwerp, Belgium. The port of ...
Why Did Joseph Stalin Purge the Heroes of the Seige of Leningrad?
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* In the late 1940s, Joseph Stalin fabricated criminal cases to accuse a number of Communist politicians of treason during The Leningrad Affair. *Key Point*: The people of Leningrad would never forget the treatment they received at the hands of Stalin’s secret police. Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin harbored a great suspicion of the people of Leningrad, even after the war.

*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* [image: Wikimedia Commons] A strong camaraderie soon built up among the northern soldiers sharing the excitement and dangers of war. Before the fighting even began, before the first impassioned chorus of “On to Richmond!” was raised by the men in blue, the soldiers comprising the Union Army of the Potomac during the Civil War had to create their own precarious living quarters in the forested wilderness of the eastern seaboard. The first camps were tent cities, thrown together hastily as new regiments arrived from the free states. The...

*by Noah* It's pretty stunning to some people that a nominee to the Supreme Court or any court would evade a question by saying they "don't recall." It was a tactic used in the Watergate hearings and led to perjury charges in a case or two. More recently such suspect individuals as Jeff Sessions and Scooter Libby have said they "don't recall" during Congressional hearings, but a nominee to the Supreme Court? At a confirmation hearing? The Kavanaugh Circus wasn't far enough? What Amy Coney Barrett did crosses a line even in corrupt Washington quarters. It's the kind of thing ac...

Artists have become legends in the past on the popular online video platform, YouTube. YouTube used to be the "great equalizer" where one could propel to "stardom" based on the popularity of the content produced. That all changed in 2006 when Google purchased YouTube for $1.65 billion. Today, October 15, 2020, Google wiped out thousands of YouTube channels in its on-going effort to stifle free speech and the truth, less than 3 weeks before national elections in the U.S. Channels that had hundreds of videos and hundreds of thousands of subscribers were eliminated, instantaneously. ...

Fire! A Brief History of American Field Artillery
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* [image: Wikimedia Commons] In combat the light artillery companies could fire their ordnance at a rate of one missile every 10 to 15 seconds—over five times that of their Mexican opponents. “It is with artillery that one makes war.” So declared Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the Great Captains of military history and a born gunner himself. In no war of the 19th century was this maxim so well illustrated as in the clash of arms between Mexico and the United States. Five primary operations formed the chronology of that conflict—Taylor’s bat...

The Obama/Biden administration was the most corrupt administration in U.S. history, despite the Clinton administration's efforts to be as corrupt as possible. The Obama/Biden administration used the IRS to prevent hundreds of Tea Party and Limited Government organizations from becoming tax-free institutions to minimize their effectiveness in the 2012 election. The fact that they got away with this emboldened them to go massively in on interfering with the 2016 election.

I was intrigued by the unbelievable corruption in Joe Biden's family and especially shocked by the extreme left-wing Internet companies' efforts to censor the news and interfere with the U.S. presidential elections that are just 18 days away.

*Warfare History Network* *History, Eurasia* [image: Wikimedia Commons] After easy German victories in Western Europe, the tenacity of the Soviet soldiers and their willingness to dispute every inch of ground came as unpleasant surprise.
