Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
Durham says CIA found data alleging Trump-Russia plot was ‘user created’
Sunday, April 17, 2022
Special Counsel John Durham claims the FBI knew Michael Sussmann's
evidence about Donald Trump and Russia was "user created."
Special Counsel John Durham asserted in a court filing Friday that
the CIA concluded data from Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann
alleging coordination between Donald Trump and Russia was “not technically plausible” and was “user created.”
In the filing, Durham responded to objections from Sussmann’s defense
regarding what evidence could be admissible at Sussmann’s trial, which
is scheduled to begin next month. Sussmann is accused of lying to the
FBI by saying he was not attending a meeting on behalf of a particular
client when he was actually presenting the information on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign and a technology executive with whom he worked.
Durham in February first revealed that the government would establish during trial that among the data “exploited” was
domain name system (DNS) internet traffic pertaining to “a particular
healthcare provider, Trump Tower, Donald Trump’s Central Park West
apartment building, and the Executive Office of the President of the
United States (EOP).”
In February, Durham said data was exploited “by mining the EOP’s DNS
traffic and other data for the purpose of gathering derogatory
information about Donald Trump,” adding the data was used to establish
“an inference” and “narrative” tying Trump to Russia.
But Sussmann is moving to preclude evidence concerning the “gathering” of that “DNS data” by “Tech Executive 1,” who has been identified as Rodney Joffe, and his associates. In Friday’s filing, Durham argued that the gathering of the data is a “necessary factual backdrop to the charged conduct.”
