Christopher Donahue “wants to go fast on this,” Lt. Gen. Charles Costanza, the Army’s V Corps commander, told Defense News in a recent interview.“How can you get the capabilities that are available now, get them into the hands of soldiers, to [get a] proof-of-concept and then scope and scale it so we can get what we…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog.  Was this just an isolated incident, or is this the beginning of the Big Crash?  The carnage that we witnessed on Friday was absolutely breathtaking.  The largest single-day wipeout in the history of the cryptocurrency industry was accompanied by a tech bloodbath of epic proportions. Many investors who were very highly leveraged got absolutely monkey-hammered.  In particular, wave after wave of forced liquidations caused a cascading cryptocurrency crash that was unlike anything that we have ever seen before.  Approximately 19.2 billion dollars in leveraged positions were suddenly…

Few gun owners were surprised when we learned that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) under President Joe Biden had fudged the numbers when reporting active shooters stopped by armed citizens. Now, however, the Trump Administration FBI is continuing the practice, far underreporting the number of incidents where armed citizens are the real heroes. According to an October 2 report by John Lott posted at realclearinvestigatiins.com, the past trend of the FBI underreporting armed citizens who stopped active shooters continues to be a problem. And Lott, president of the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), said it’s not just a small…

This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge.  In a historic day, Hamas has released all remaining Israeli hostages following two years of war. 20 in total have been released, with an initial seven handed over in the first wave, followed by 13 more. Twenty-eight additional deceased captives are expected to be returned, though there are reports that only four of the deceased have been transferred back to Israel at this point. In return, 250 Palestinian prisoners serving long and life sentences are now being released from Israeli prisons as part of the first phase of the US-brokered deal. Additionally, over…

Walk into any gun store in America, and you can purchase a muzzle brake, flash hider, or riflescope without filling out a single form beyond the standard background check for the firearm itself. But try to buy a suppressor, a device that serves primarily as hearing protection—and you’ll encounter a bureaucratic maze involving a $200 tax stamp, months of waiting, and ATF approval. This doesn’t make sense, especially when you understand what suppressors actually do versus what Hollywood has trained us to believe. Movies and television have sold the public a dangerous fiction: that suppressors turn firearms into whisper-quiet assassination…

THERE ARE PLENTY of mysterious tales about Thomas Bay in Southeast Alaska, which prospectors named “Devil’s Country” in the early 1900s, but the most prevalent is the legend of the Kóoshdaa Káa. Tlingit stories say the Kóoshdaa Káa is a shapeshifting otter-like creature that lures people into the wilderness, sometimes tricking them to their deaths. Many Tlingit, whose people have lived in Southeast Alaska since time immemorial, won’t go into Thomas Bay to this day. They believe it’s haunted. Growing up…

Top enlisted leaders who work on U.S. Army medical and operational needs said medical evacuation and its associated tasks require modernization for future large-scale combat.Casualty numbers in the Russia-Ukraine war point to likely large-scale casualty events in the future that will far eclipse the numbers seen by U.S. troops in recent wars, a panel of command sergeants major said Monday at the Association of the U.S. Army’s annual meeting in Washington.The three leaders agreed that one problem vexing units is the inability to move large numbers of casualties across the battlefield. “Everything that has wheels or tracks has a casualty…

United States ruler Donald Trump is threatening Russia, saying that unless the war is “settled”, Ukraine will get Tomahawk missiles. As Trump made the remarks, he made it clear that he is aware that sending Ukraine the long-range missiles will be seen as an “act of aggression” by Moscow. Russia has already laid down another red line, ready for the West to cross it. Russia Lays Down Another Red Line On Tomahawk Missiles Trump doesn’t appear to be looking for the end of this war, while he’s overly invested in ending the war between Israel and Hamas. According to a…

A coalition of gun-rights organizations has taken another step in the effort to dismantle the National Firearms Act (NFA). On October 9, the National Rifle Association (NRA), Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and American Suppressor Association (ASA) filed another lawsuit challenging the 1934 law. At issue is whether the law is even applicable now that the $200 tax on suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs) and any other weapons (AOWs), as defined by the law, was removed in President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.” In the latest lawsuit, Jensen v. ATF, filed with the U.S.…

Suddenly, it was all too easy. Ridiculous even. The impossible became the probable. The fool was being crowned king; the tortoise was flying to the moon. Quite simply, my crosshairs were on the eland bull, and whenI touched the trigger, nearly two decades of frustration would have a happy end­ing. Of the game I had seriously pursued during my hunting career, the eland had been the…

No more relying on the U.S. Army to protect the Air Force’s air bases — it’s time for the Air Force to take responsibility to defend its own airfields, argues an Air Force officer.“The Air Force is doctrinally responsible for its own force protection,” wrote Lt. Col. Phil Ferris, an airpower strategist on the Air Staff, in a recent essay for the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies. Currently, “the Air Force’s only current active defense option” comes from its own fighter aircraft.But that’s not feasible in many cases, Ferris argues.“Many air bases do not have fighters on station, including many…

Threats are not “the right way” to get along with China, the Commerce Ministry has said, in response to the United States’ warning that it would impose additional tariffs. Beijing’s rulers have made it clear that they won’t yield to Washington’s latest tariff threats, urging the U.S. to seek a negotiated settlement instead of escalating tensions. “China’s position on the trade war is consistent: we do not want it, but we are not afraid of it,” the ministry stated. “Willful threats of high tariffs are not the right way to get along with China,” the Commerce Ministry said. “If the…
