What a surprise:

Featured in the video are four generals and three colonels, including Maj. Gen. Jack Catton Jr., who is on active duty at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia. Catton was investigated by the Air Force last spring after he sent an e-mail from his work account urging Air Force Academy graduates to contribute to a Republican candidate for Congress.

Catton's spokeswoman said that investigation resulted in administrative actions that have not been made public. Catton declined to comment about the video.

Nice.

Yes, this is the very same General Catton who puts his country third on the list, after his family and the God of His Choice.

What's it all about?

It's the abuse of power, stupid.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
