Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

I watched “Number 24” about the Norwegian resistance the other day. Am watching “Watch on the Rhine” now. These stories are so darkly resonant now. I can’t help but wonder if they are more than that. Foreshadowings of choices we will all soon face. Am I being melodramatic? I fear I’m not.
