The Great American War Machine

Old Knudsen tries not to watch war movies cos he doesn't want flashbacks to Hamburger Hill ... the movie, not the battle, it was shite! 

I wanted some Netflix and chill so I typed 'watch free online' cos who the fuck pays for Netflix? but I was all out of chill so I watched the latest Brad Pitt movie War Machine with pirated Netflix and luke warm.  

Fuck yer FBI warning and yes I would steal a car so obviously I'll steal a movie. The money I've spent to be disappointed by Hollywood over the years I've finally caught on.     

The film starts with the great line, "Men are imperfect creatures, left to their own devices, all they really wanna do is play with their dicks and eat chicken."

The movie was loosely based around the firing of General Stanley McChrystal. If you recall he sort of resigned/fired because for some reason he did a Rolling Stone interview while in charge of the Afghanistan war and was pretty free with his words. 

He had to apologize to the then President Obama and VP Biden for smack talking about them. I'm surprised that Trump hasn't offered him a job. If Obama fired him then he must be good. 

General Pulver in the movie was loosely based on General Michael Flynn. A not too talented angry person that rode on McChrystal's or rather Pitt's character General Glen McMahon's coattails. 

This movie was based on the book The operators by Michael Hastings who was the actual Rolling Stone reporter that covered McChrystal. 

Ben Kingsley was born to play Hamid Karzai

Hamid Karzai the President of Afghanistan is shown as a figure of fun. This guy who is propped up by the West to lead Afghanistan had to give permission for a military raid but he knew that he didn't really have a say in it. He was hard to get a hold of so Brad Pitt's character McMahon told him to behave like a leader, he replied he was, he was being unavailable just like President Obama.  

Meg Tilly came out of retirement to act as McMahon's wife.That woman has always had a direct line to Old Knudsen's boner and seeing her older didn't matter. 

The one that got away

While the movie had some funny parts it also had a message. All that the US is doing is creating more enemies. McMahon said if you have 10 insurgents and you kill 2, how many do you have left? The answer is 20 cos those two killed had friends and family on the cusp of taking up arms and when you kill the 2 they had their minds made up for them. 

The figure is that for every civilian killed by the west 40 new insurgents are created. The movie saw a young boy killed by a grenade that was targeting insurgents on the roof of his house. The boy's father was given a couple of thousand dollars and told sorry. McMahon could clearly see the hate in the eyes of the young brother of the dead boy, another enemy created. 

You can't win the hearts and minds of the people when you are killing them. Afghanistan can partially be won but it can never be held. Alexander the Great, the British, the Soviets, history has been there and done that and failed. 

Obama had no appetite for this war, now with General Mattis in charge and an easy to manipulate president in his pocket there are more troops being sent there but no one really cares about the place. 

They grow heroin poppies because the US doesn't let them grow cotton as that would interfere with their own product being sold... you can't fight a war tied up and your certainly can't win it like that. 

If you bring the troops home you then condemn the population to Taliban rule and insurgents will grow in strength with free reign to plan more US attacks. It's a fucked up situation.    

General Petraeus or Bob as he was called in War Machine was McMahon's replacement. Just another war loving General with a chest full of medals, same old routine. 

Petraeus resigned when a NATO helicopter killed 9 Afghan boys out getting firewood. Not a career killing event just meh ... er I mean very regrettable. He became the CIA director until an affair with the author of his biography and the mishandling of classified info made him resign from that.

Scandals come and go and the great American War Machine grinds on creating dead bodies, 65 million refugees and more enemies. America has been at war 93% of its time since its creation in 1776, it's the natural state of the cuntry.

Man In The Gold Castle

The fixed Statue of Liberty

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free and once we've weeded out the undesirables and for a special one time low fee you can come live in America as soon as you've been tagged and registered. 

President Trump settled his fraud case for $25 million. The Students of Trump University were certainly schooled. If it sounds like a fart then it probably is a fart ::::trummmppp:::::

In the run up to the inauguration it has turned out he used $56 million from his Donald J. Trump Foundation to fund his election campaign. $880,000 for portraits given to friends, nose jobs for his loyal campaign staff and an SS honor dagger said to belong to Hermann Göring. Also 4 lawsuits for unpaid bills and services, 2 allegations of child rape and the hit and run of a homeless man outside of his Mar-A-Lago Estate home in Florida. 

It's a busy time for Trump which is why Obama has called for the people to support him and to give him a chance even though his Vice President Joe Biden challenged Trump to a duel which we've told cannot take place for legal reasons.  

The New York subway has been painted with Trump's new logo in celebration. 

Yes Muslims have to call into Trump Liberty Centers to be registered and tagged but what a small price for freedom and security huh. 

Yes there are bills getting written that limit the lies of the media and the biased stories they print. I think we all agree that the cast of Hamilton who asked the audience not to boo Mike Pence then asked him to serve the people with integrity were out of line, bullies. That show will be closing its doors in January. 

I'm sure you can agree that Alec Baldwin playing some kind of grotesque and not at all real version of the president elect is quite un-American and chips away at the security of the nation.     

Mount Trumpmore, tremendous, am I right am I right? 

There will be changes, America will be great again. There will be a roll back on ghey marriage and abortion cos anyone that does either is obviously working for Satan. Not my words, check the Bible, Jesus said it before he built the Ark of the covenant ... know yer scripture .... cos there will be a test on it if you think you can claim welfare and partake for free of such commie services such as the police and fire service. 

If you can't pay the crook gets away .... catchy huh. If you don't earn then yer home will burn. 

 Heil me! 

All the Obama FEMA death camps he was going to fill up with guns and rednecks will now become Trump Liberty Camps .... or TLC. They will contain liberals trouble makers who endanger democracy, and of course Hispanics, the cast of SNL, Hamilton and Muslims duh! 

All those far right white supremacists alt-right supporters who have been having rallies and shouting Heil Trump! etc will be rewarded as patriots and formed into militias as per the Constitution.  They will patrol the streets to make sure women are dressed appropriately.  

Ugly fat slobs will be kept out of the public eye but if everyone buys enough Trump points they will have a decent first world life .... it's America so don't expect healthcare or clean drinking water though, only magical make believe places have that. 

Americans will put up with a lot as long as they think their rights are not being infringed or that brown or black people are getting something they aren't. 

1) You can have free education, healthcare, a house, a safe clean environment but limited guns such as shotguns, single shot rifles and revolvers. 

2) Or you can have crap education, no university, no healthcare, you get a trailer or can rent, lead or rocket fuel in the water, fracking kicking up chemicals for your kids to breath in but all the guns you have now. 

Americans have repeatedly chosen the big steamy number two.   All the guns in the world couldn't make average Joe with type one diabetes and a bad back overthrow the well armed and trained government. 

 

If you took shit for granted, sulked instead of vote or didn't care what yer soldiers fought and died for and elected someone who was a coward and a bully then you just brought down everyone else to yer level of stupid. 

The smart and decent folk have to put up with 8 years of the US being 10 times the international joke it was when GW Bush was preez all thanks to you but you don't care because you think self-respect is keeping yer lawn mowed or yer car clean or maybe it's a classy neck tattoo, you just don't have a clue. 

Trump is like a partner that beats you but you say, 'maybe they'll be different, maybe they'll change' of course they never do because once they see what you'll put up with they'll only keep giving you more. 

       

What Are You Afraid Of?

Randy ‘Duke’ Cunningham loved his bribes. 

The US is a land in a constant state of fear. It's kept like this by the media who in turn answer to the uber rich people that own the outlets who also own many politicians.  If the US wasn't so afraid of something it wouldn't be in a perpetual state of war. Tell yourself yer the home of the brave but seriously people without a gun yer just a lost child with a leg covered in pee. 

Follow the money to see who benefits from the fear and you'll see shares owned by the same group of people and their friends. Food, weapons, healthcare, entertainment,banks and governments all owned by the same circle of people with various cronies dipping in for a share.  

Did Budd Dwyer take a bribe? He made sure his wife got his pension and avoided going to prison by blowing his brains out on TV. 

From surveys, the number number one US fear is corrupt government officials. 58% of Americans polled fear this. Is this why a non politician like Trump has done so well? Politics seems to be a very good money maker that people who have no skills or abilities can make a profitable career out of it. 

Being a doctor or a lawyer used to be thought of as a good career choice but even the doctors and lawyers think that politics is a better move.  

  Gearing up to kill some infidels at the weekend lol!

Cyber-terrorism at 44.8% is the next biggest fear. Causing disruption for social, ideological, religious, political or objectives. Hey as long as the North Koreans don't know my Pornhub passwerd then I don't care. 

I think the likes of Microsoft and Apple fuck us about enough without cyber terrorists getting involved too. 

That leads to the next fear of corporate tracking of personal information. We constantly give out our details, permissions to access our devices and location voluntarily but we worry that someone is actually tracking us. Of course they are you idiot. Then they'll spam you with ads to make yer experience more personal as they say. 

If yer so worried about corporate tracking then go off line. 

Support vets ... except for some.  

Terrorist attacks at 44.4%. The US doesn't have many terrorist attacks because they redefine their attacks into categories and terrorists become mentally disturbed white dudes. White people can't be terrorists, hey even the IRA are freedom fighters and the UVF are paramilitaries. Nope, no terrorist here, that's what brown people do.
 
What the US does overseas should get the US to have more attacks. The empire building, overthrowing regimes and collateral damage war crimes I think the US has gotten off pretty lightly so far. 

With reds under the beds type paranoia the average Fox news watching American will never meet or even see a refugee but knows for sure that they are all sleeper cell terrorists out to kill white free Americans. They hate us because they anus. 

No they hate you because you invade and meddle in their politics with very little grasp of what it is yer doing. 

       

41.4% fear government tracking of personal information. Yet when Edward Snowden pointed out that Obama was spying on millions of Americans they just watched Obama's latest buzzfeed video and said how classy he is. 

There is a lack of outrage with what Snowden uncovered. Most of the outrage comes from government spin branding him a traitor that allegedly put Americans in danger. 
That doesn't sit well with Old Knudsen, where is yer fucken moral compass? Obama is a bad one but not for the reasons the Tea baggers throw out all the time. 

Bush was a peace loving hippy compared to Obama. Can I not say that or is that racist?

Bio warfare and identity theft are also fears. How many Americans get attacked by bio weapons? What the fuck people? 

Maybe you wouldn't be worried about identity theft if you had some kind of filter on yer mouth that tells everyone yer details. Also unlocked mail boxes at the end of yer street. Why do you make it soo easy?

Economic collapse at 39.2% .... Thanks to Bush who fucked up Clinton's economy you've been in fear for well over a decade. Some day you'll run out of Middle Eastern cuntries to invade and unless you move onto Russia or China then yer economy should get better once you stop destroying and focus on building with all that money saved from the massive US defense budget. 

Ha ha, got him .... and 30 bystanders but they were probably terrorists too, right?

It should be a fear that warfare is becoming less and less about boots on the ground and more about technology. You honor the vets and the troops and keep people in fear in order for them to keep joining up as fodder for the war machine. 

Old Knudsen hates draft dodgers but just the rich ones that pay their way out of it. The poor pleb that flees to Canada is fine. The draft is wrong and the wars they used it for were wrong. I support the troops as it is a hard job but if you signed up for it then suck it up. Lots of plebs didn't have a choice. 
The wars in the Middle East are like home invasions, yer not going to support someone that breaks into yer house with a gun.  

So cute, I'll call you Veal.

Being in the military and being at war is like eating meat, you don't put too much thought into it, you just do it.

When the rich only need a few thousand troops to fly the drones and to train moderate fanatic rebels then what are they going to do with all those surplus people? .... Zika virus or Ebola may be. 

Warfare will be like waking up to check Twitter or Facebook, click BOMB, click BOMB, click SEND IN SEAL TEAM, click LIKE on the cat pic, click BOMB. 

Only 37.4% worry about running out of money and 36.9% worry about credit card fraud. Why worry about the bills, food on the table etc when you have Bio warfare to be concerned about?.... or terrorists in yer Cheerios.

Quick look! someone is disrespecting vets who died 70 - 100 years ago and aren't even at the fucken game.... yeah ignore the issue and get insulted for something else.  You know who doesn't care if you stand for the national anthem? .... dead people.
 

What about guns? What percent worry about their Constitutional right to be able to shoot school children? Sex tape? .... better look at it so I can be outraged. 

This pizza looks yuge in my tiny hands.

What about the fear of Trump actually winning the election? This survey was taken in 2015 so maybe people didn't really think he'd get as far as he did or maybe they really are that dumb and distracted. Uh lead and rocket fuel in the water, uh better buy bottled water as well as pay for the contaminated water uh .... I don't think too gud. 

These fears are mostly just that, fears . Sure some lower politicians get minimum jail time but the higher up ones continue on being corrupt. Presidents can lie and spy but will only lose their job, not their pensions. Bill Clinton has received $15,938,000 in Federal money since 2001, nice huh. 

Did fear of getting cancer from pollution or yer kid's future not make it into the top 10?    

Now Americans are afraid of people dressing up as clowns. But someone who is a friend of this guy I know read online that they are trying to lure children into the woods. 

He also said he saw a van and that people were stealing pet dogs .... aye that one never gets old. 

Watch out for Slender man he also lures children away. Fuck worrying about clowns, like any kid would go near a creepy clown. Worry about nice friendly nondescript blokes that have allegedly lost their puppy and truck drivers.    

For those in the UK their top fears were sobering up, running out of fags and having to go to the dentist ... Ka-Chow! 

It seems to Old Knudsen people are worried about the wrong shit and not about the right stuff. Maybe the rich people making money of our misery have the right idea cos going from that list we deserve their scorn and manipulation. 


 

Nations At War

So who is better, the US or Europe? Well the Americans are full of themselves and have guns while the Europeans are full of themselves and don't have guns, it's a no brainer.

Old Knudsen hates people but likes guns, it's harder to shoot people when you don't have a gun... logic wins!

Here are some other arguments that I researched online.

The Internet says that Europe rocks and the weemen are hot and easy.

 

The American Way

Did you feel mildly insulted when Obama said "We tortured some folks, we did some things that were contrary to our values."

"It's important for us not to feel sanctimonious in retrospect about the tough job those folks had."

Usually it's Radical Islamic Fundamentalists and now it's 'folks' he excused these as 'mistakes' made by CIA operatives at Black sites around the world because they were under enormous pressure to prevent another attack after the 9/11 attack.

He said he still had confidence in the CIA Director John Brennan who will make sure that lessons are learned from those mistakes.

So these operatives at bases in Thailand, Guantanamo Bay, Afghanistan, Poland, Romania and North Africa were all under enormous pressure and just had to use excessive torture, I say excessive because the US used torture before 9/11 but afterwards the gloves came off. As former President George W Bush used to and probably still says, “they hate our freedoms, it was them or us."
 
Cofer Black, the former director of the CIA’s Counter terrorism Center told the Senate that "from the point of view of the national security state, anything goes."

So what has changed? The Obama administration tends to use the NSA more and the CIA has fucked up too many times, funding needs to be directed elsewhere. The CIA are forever getting culled and downsized every few decades.

So now those practices of waterboarding, sleep deprivation/adjustment , 20-hour interrogations, isolation, exposure to extreme temperatures, enclosure in tiny spaces, stress positions, loud music, and light control, religious and sexual humiliation, abdomen strikes, insult slaps, shaking and controlled fear (including use of dogs) are now-discontinued, they were seen as questionable in 2009 but they have decided that they are bad.
In 2005 the CIA burned tapes of interrogations knowing full well they would get into trouble for it but having those tapes seen would have been far worse. It only took 13 years to realise that Enhanced interrogation techniques might be morally wrong.


Will they stop these integrations? of course they will, now they'll just hand the prisoners over to brutal non-American interrogators..... under American supervision of course. Nothing scares the ragheads more than the thought of being sent to a prison in a country who really hate their guts.

Ach we've seen Jack Bauer break a hand to get info it's no big deal and really, would these guys torture us?
Treat people as you'd have them treat you or get in there first and break some bones just in case they are lying cunts.  

Israel gets it, you have to fight to destroy and brutalize because the enemy fights like that, good guys finish last. We want to conduct war like how we buy our food in washed, prepared packages that doesn't look anything like the animal.     

We want to log on, fire off a few strategical Hellcats while eating M&M's and sucking on a Slurpee. All clean and civilised then we go home. 

A Gun From America

Drew Nelson the Grand Secretary Wizard of the Orange Order (Christian hate group) has demanded a meeting with the American Consul in Northern Ireland. Why? you must ask, is he trying to become a US citizen?

It's because that over half of firearms used by the IRA  which  killed Orange Order members during the Troubles (over 30 years of civil war/conflict) were from America.


What has that got to do with the American government? Any guns that were sent over were no doubt from private sympathizers, ya know, Plastic Paddies who go on about the green hills of Ireland and how it should be free and yet wouldn't want to live there.

In Boston there is a large Irish/American community and during the Troubles they did raise money and support the IRA .... that doesn't mean it was America.

America has a population of over 319 million people, if you ask 100 of them what the IRA is, 99 of them will answer that it's an Individual Retirement Account ...... the other one would probably just not know.
If you say yer from Belfast they will all say , "Oh I love Ireland and the Irish" not only do they not have a clue about this tiny decrepit arsehole corner of the UK but they don't care.It doesn't effect their lives and they don't hear any news about it...... we just aren't important. 

 Two typical Americans not caring.

149 of the weapons used against the Orange Order have the US as an origin, that's 149 in over 30 odd years. Quit yer gurning that's fuck all. Other cuntries were Eastern Bloc, Germany and England with a total of 266 guns .

How many weapons came from Libya and other places that weren't used and were decommissioned?  
A spokesman for the US Consulate said they “would be pleased to meet with representatives of the Orange Order to hear their concerns firsthand”. In other words sure we'll meet cos we need something to entertain us.

If the US did arm the IRA then you'd see a load of heavy weapons, more than 149, you'd have terrorists being trained in the US by the military and you'd have advisers hiding in the ditches of Armagh showing johnny terrorist how to shoot a helicopter doon with an RPG .  

Have you not noticed the cuntries that the US did arm like Afghanistan, Israel and Iraq totally went all out in destruction while we had about 3000 killed in 3 decades.  Besides Orange Order you won and now many of yer members are in power.

The Orange Order bigots are just looking for something to complain about coming up to the marching season, also it's just sour grapes that the IRA had friends aboard and no one liked the Loyalists enough to send them guns, they had to do it the hard way and join the police or the UDR in order to get weapons ..... what no outrage at how many Loyalist guns came from military sources? Go talk to David Cameron and demand to know how Orange Order members (who happen to be in the UDA or UVF) got a hold of those guns.

42% of murdered Orange Order members were civilians, 29%  were members of the UDR (a local military regiment) and 22% were members of the RUC (the police)

Old Knudsen speaks as someone who was a member of the security forces, he is proud of his service and has nothing to be ashamed about but seriously, there were a lot of others that needed a good killing, see Willie Frazer's family for example. 
One of the main reasons the Troubles didn't go too well was the fact that the military and police were mostly biased and that came doon from the top, old Maggie Thatcher hated  the Irish (including the

Loyalists) she wanted to beat everyone and anything into submission.

We needed troops and leadership like the US had during their race wars in the deep south. 

Just like with the US invasion of Iraq the British were instrumental in making their enemy stronger and encouraging others to support them by just being there invading ..... Only yerself to blame, at the start of the Troubles most of the Fenian cocksuckers were pro UK and the IRA were irrelevant and small at the time. If you had just given them some basic human rights we wouldn't have had those Orange Order deaths and all the others.  

The Orange Order also like to point out that over 500 children were left without a parent because of these killings. If their parent is one who promotes hate and wants their child to grow up and be just like them then good, probably the best thing to happen to them.

America Is The Greatest Nation In The World!

Happy Independence day to the greatest nation in the world! Aye it used to be Great Britain but since the UK tries to copy the US that says it all. All the other nations are pussies or evil.

If it wasn't for America we'd all be speaking German .... not even the Germans want to speak German.

Wrap an average American woman up in a flag and she looks hot!

This is what we have ...

Americans know customer service and the art of fine dining.

 Americans know funny, we have Father Ted and Benny fucking Hill.... both are dead. 

Presentation .... thats what it's all about. Old Knudsen would love to bust her lone star.

Go round the shops in the UK and you'll see t-shirts for Ventura and San Diego , go round the shops in the US and you won't be seeing t-shirts with Ballycarry or Croydon on them.

Loads of kids wear Hollister clothes, seriously children no one in Callyfornia wears that shite it's a midwestern company owned by those cuntbags at Abercrombie & Fitch that lies about it's history  and you buy it up  LOL!!! 

This is an ugly American woman!

This is an old age pensioner in America.... 66 and still leaping onto yer Ma.

Even in comics America leads and the UK follows, "I say, where do you want us to invade next old chap?"

Yanks can kill you by pushing a button. At 10,000 feet a US drone can pick out an innocent child from amongst a group of Islamists and kill them with death from above using a kid seeker missile.

 The CIA rock! and their rates of pay for foreign contractors such as myself is quite competitive.

Ach if it wasn't for that mix up in the courts Old Knudsen would be there right now spying on citizens rather than in the UK spying on citizens.

Old Knudsen getting ready for yet another mix up in the courts.

We salute you America for yer contribution to world culture and the arts. Happy 4th July and well done on being mature enough not to use this celebration to rub British noses in shit for getting their arse kicked.

If only we were that cool ... or even cool at all but if we win anything you'll never hear the end of it.

Fuck yeah!
