The Militia and the Mole [Click] “Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.” ——Alan
WOW! I sat reading this, totally rivetted! Can you imagine doing that?! I hope his documentation makes a big difference. I can imagine it would have were Harris coming into office, but right now I really wonder.
Gotta say...it's been impressive watching the honour guards! They have their movements down to a science. Normally, I'm not fond of such stiffness, but there is actually something moving about it in this context. I think it's that it comes across as an art form and very much a tribute.
l haven't yet seen a video of the progress of President Carter's coffin toward the Capitol, but the French Foreign Legion's annual commemoration of The Battle of Camaron is breathtaking, particularly if one knows the story of the battle. To this day, when Mexican troops pass near the site of the battle they dismount, form up, and salute toward the site. ----Alan

Were I an elephant, I'd sure want to be tuskless.
