USSOCOM’s Post

I actually haven’t seen a single post about Dec 7, 1941, “A day that will live in infamy.” As a young private in the military, it’s was actually an old crusty E-6 Staff Sergeant Dave Anders who created an impact on me about the importance of remembering this date. On December 7, 1941, the attack on Pearl Harbor thrust the United States into World War II, challenging the Greatest Generation to confront unprecedented adversity. They responded with remarkable resilience, unity, and a commitment to service, both on the front lines and the home front. Key Lessons for Today’s Professionals: • Resilience in Adversity: Facing the Great Depression and global conflict, this generation demonstrated unwavering determination. In our careers, embracing resilience enables us to navigate challenges and emerge stronger. • Commitment to Service: Their collective efforts, from military service to supporting war production at home, highlight the impact of contributing to a greater cause. Prioritizing teamwork and community in our professional lives fosters a more collaborative and fulfilling environment. • Adaptability and Innovation: Confronted with rapidly changing circumstances, they adapted and innovated, leading to significant technological and societal advancements. Embracing change and seeking innovative solutions are crucial for success in today’s dynamic workplace. As we remember Pearl Harbor and honor the Greatest Generation, let’s integrate these timeless values into our professional journeys, striving to build a resilient, service-oriented, and innovative future.

Even if you live in St. Louis, you’ve probably never heard of the Battle of St. Louis. And yet, some historians believe it was a critical inflection point in the American Revolutionary War, and helped save the American West. The Battle Of St. Louis: The Unknown Yet Critical Point In The American Revolutionary War (One hour long) https://lnkd.in/gQhs5wte 20,579 views Dec 25, 2024 The Battle of St. Louis, also commonly known as the Battle of Fort San Carlos, took place on May 26th 1780 during the American Revolutionary War between the British-allied Indians and defenders of the Franco-Spanish village St. Louis, Louisiana - present-day State of Missouri. One of only two Revolutionary War battles that took place west of the Mississippi River, what took place in St. Louis that day reshaped the future of the city, and possibly the entire American West. In this documentary, the battle is brought to life, and the affect that has rippled across two and a half centuries of American history is examined.

lets start summer readings with this declassified CIA internal history of A.W. Dulles as DCI. It provides an excellent angle on two rather overlooked problems: developing covert programs that are consistent with and advance foreign policy and, two, managing covert activities to make sure they remained linked with policy.

BREAKING: U.S. Military Authorized to Kill Americans – Ron Paul Warns of Looming Civil War Under New DoD Directive! Breaking: The U.S. military has been quietly authorized to use lethal force against Americans on U.S. soil under DoD Directive 5240.01. Ron Paul warns of a dangerous shift toward civil war, as the government prepares for internal conflict. This is not a drill—it’s a declaration of intent. WARNING: The U.S. government has crossed a line, and the mainstream media is silent. The Department of Defense has reissued a directive granting the U.S. military the authority to kill American citizens on U.S. soil. With barely a whisper from Congress, Directive 5240.01 has been reissued—this time, it includes provisions for lethal force. Former congressman Ron Paul isn’t holding back, warning Americans: “The U.S. military was just authorized to kill Americans on U.S. soil… This is very dangerous.” This is no mistake. The military has been legally empowered to turn its weapons inward, and the battlefield? Our streets. Our homes. Our lives. What’s going on? Why isn’t the media screaming about this? The Department of Defense has made a calculated move. Directive 5240.01, reissued on September 27, 2024, replaced its 2016 version. But this time, there’s a chilling difference: the military can use lethal force on U.S. soil under certain circumstances. Your Government Just Armed Itself Against You This is no accident—it’s by design. The U.S. government has armed itself with legal and bureaucratic power to silence, suppress, and eliminate internal dissent. The reissuance of Directive 5240.01 is a warning shot. The military, created to protect us from foreign enemies, now turns inward. They aren’t preparing for defense anymore. They’re preparing for domination. The battlefield? America. The enemy? You. Martial Law in Everything But Name Let’s be clear: The U.S. military is now authorized to use deadly force against its own citizens, with little oversight or accountability. When the government starts seeing its people as enemies, what comes next? This directive proves the government is no longer focused on liberty—it’s consolidating power. This isn’t preparation for defense. It’s a blueprint for suppression. They’ve put their pieces into place, arming themselves while you weren’t looking. The Administrative State’s Power Grab This is bureaucratic tyranny. By reissuing a directive, the government has bypassed Congress and public scrutiny, giving the military power to kill on American soil. You didn’t vote for this, but it’s now the law. This isn’t hypothetical. It’s real. It’s ready to be executed. The government will define “emergency,” and that will be their excuse for violence. Ron Paul’s Urgent Warning Ron Paul’s warning is urgent. If we don’t pay attention, if we don’t fight back, the next step is full-blown martial law. The military’s role has shifted—they aren’t here to protect you. They’re preparing for conflict with you.
