I wonder what Allstate's renewal rate will be like in the next few months with their addiction to divisiveness and negativity.

I don't think he could have fired a 50AE Desert Eagle inside an enclosed vehicle without it being kinda obvious in the video or anyone passing by.

^^^^^^ Why would anyone, especially a Green Beret, choose a .50 caliber handgun to put a bullet through his temple? I'm not saying that he did not do exactly that. I think there are records of his purchase earlier in the day. It just strikes me very strange, and I can't quite understand it. It's kind of like using a hand grenade to kill a mosquito.

Well, if you want to be sure it did the job and not lay there still alive and conscious because you used a 9mm. Also, maybe the Desert Eagle was one of his Grail guns that he always wanted.

False. There has been no mention anywhere of divorce. Though that was probably in their future.


I saw the 2 ex’s on a news clip online.

Other reports say he had at least one ex wife.
Other reports state Current wife is leaving him for his cheating.

So who knows.

As long as the lawyers get paid, that's all that matters... Wink

Oh for crissake....
You knew at some point the mil-pod/vlog sphere would spin into shitty finger-pointing and schoolyard accusations, looks like we're here as a active-duty SOF member clacked himself-off with a wild email that's capturing headlines and got every former mil/gov employee declaring themselves experts and all-knowing. <shaking head>

That's covered in the press conference as well.

...along with Tim Kennedy, who's now got himself embroiled in his own controversy with the veracity of his experiences in his recently published book.

Regarding the CIVCAS accusations: utter bullshit. I was in Nimroz in 2019 conducting strike missions; impossible to hide what he claims. It may be Afghanistan’s least populated province and there’s no way to hide losing that many buildings. To anyone experienced with the SOF targeted strike game, his claims are obviously false.

The rest I don’t know (although it all smells like BS), but all of his AFG claims are untrue and I would know. The fact he mentions USFORA and not the numbered Task Force names = he’s not someone actually involved. Not to mention the Taliban was active on twitter then and controlled Nimroz (which was at that time where a lot of the OG Al Qaeda types lived) and would absolutely have exploited such a thing… it’s just trash. Impossible to cover up what he alleged happened.

Thanks for your comments.

Regardless of his previous service and accomplishments, committing suicide in the manner he did* demonstrates that he was a very disturbed man. Can we believe that someone like that might lie about his knowledge and experiences due to a grudge of some sort, mental delusions or ignorant assumptions†, or for some other reason? I suppose I’m getting close to mental masturbatory speculation myself, but some speculation is more likely and meaningful than others.

* And yes, assuming he wasn’t killed by the real actors for some bizarre reason and left in the self-driving vehicle to make it appear that he killed himself.

† I know from personal experience that wild rumors and beliefs abounded during and after the Vietnam War that were spread by otherwise rational people.

“ Enlightenment is man’s emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one’s own understanding without another’s guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one’s own mind without another’s guidance.”
— Immanuel Kant

Every. Single. Time.
No one is really ever "held accountable"... no one is fired or pays personally.
The cost of government goes up, services get worse, debt increases.

Interesting new revelations from the Las Vegas Sheriff...

  • A longer (6 page) manifesto was discovered, but will not yet be released in entirety.

  • The suspect used AI for his operation.

  • His hands were on the steering wheel as he pulled up, an indication that the vehicle was probably not in any kind of self-driving mode.

  • The material in the truck bed included 75 pounds of lead birdshot, suggesting a more destructive intent even though he stated his wish not to harm anyone else.

  • The materials used included 60 lbs of pyrotechnics (possibly more), exploding targets similar to tannerite, smokeless powder, camping fuels, and racing fuel that was poured over the truck bed to initiate conflagration.

  • There is no evidence that any kind of detonation system or remote mechanism was used. The explosion may have been initiated by the muzzle blast of the Desert Eagle alone (the initial flashpoint was inside the cabin). A fuel-air deflagration in turn ignited the other explosives. It is not ruled out that simply a lighter was used just before the gunshot. Hobby fuse may have played a role as well.
