The headline in the Washington Times reads: “West Point deletes ‘duty‚ honor‚ country’ from mission statement.” The letter announcing this from West Point Superintendent Lt. Gen. Steve Gilland recommends that the iconic phrase be replaced with the following mission statement: “To build‚ educate‚ train‚ and inspire the Corps of Cadets to be commissioned leaders of character committed to the Army Values and ready for a lifetime of service to the Army and Nation.” The letter states that “[b]oth the Secretary of the Army and the Army Chief of Staff approved this recommendation.”  READ MORE from Francis P. Sempa: The Military Academies Have Turned Into Woke Wastelands Gilland explained the change by stating that it was the “result” of an “assessment” — an 18-month review of the Academy’s purpose — made by “leaders from across West Point and external stakeholders‚” and that the change reflects their “vision‚ mission and strategy” to “bind[] the Academy to the Army.” The Academy’s mission statement‚ he pointed out‚ has been revised nine times in the last hundred years. And he added that “[t]he Army Values include Duty and Honor‚ and Country‚” and that “Duty‚ Honor‚ Country” remains the Academy’s motto.  Sixty-two years ago‚ Douglas MacArthur‚ general of the United States Army‚ told the cadets at West Point that if the “long gray line” ever failed us‚ “a million ghosts in olive drab‚ in brown khaki‚ in blue and gray‚ would rise from their white crosses‚ thundering those magic words: Duty‚ Honor‚ Country.” Today‚ it is not the long gray line that fails us but the woke leadership of the Army that seems intent on substituting “Diversity‚ Equity‚ and Inclusion” for “Duty‚ Honor‚ Country.” Make no mistake about why “Army Values” are replacing “Duty‚ Honor‚ Country.” Army values‚ as we have seen‚ are subject to change. Today‚ Army values comprise “Diversity‚ Equity‚ and Inclusion.” Who knows what those values will be a decade from now. Duty‚ Honor Country‚ on the other hand‚ represent a timeless mission. But don’t take my word for it. MacArthur said it best. MacArthur characterized Duty‚ Honor‚ Country as hallowed words that “reverently dictate what you ought to be‚ what you can be‚ what you will be.” Those words “build courage when courage seems to fail”; help you “regain faith when there seems to be little cause” it; “create hope when hope becomes forlorn.” What else do those words do? According to MacArthur: They build your basic character. They mold you for your future roles as the custodians of the nation’s defense. They make you strong enough to know when you are weak‚ and brave enough to face yourself when you are afraid. They teach you to be proud and unbending in honest failure‚ but humble and gentle in success … to learn to stand up in the storm but to have compassion on those who fall; to master yourself before you seek to master others; to have a heart that is clean‚ a goal that is high…. They teach you in this way to be an officer and a gentleman. “The code which those words perpetuate‚” MacArthur continued‚ “embraces the highest moral laws and will stand the test of any ethics or philosophies ever promulgated for the uplift of mankind.” The Army’s mission‚ MacArthur reminded them‚ “remains fixed‚ determined‚ inviolable: it is to win our wars.” He told the cadets that the “very obsession of your public service must be Duty‚ Honor‚ Country‚” not vague‚ imprecise‚ changeable “Army Values.”  MacArthur knew that there were among us those he termed “pedants‚” “demagogues‚” “cynics‚” “hypocrites‚” and “troublemakers” who believe that the words “Duty‚ Honor‚ Country” are nothing but a “slogan” or a “flamboyant phrase‚” and who “will try to downgrade them even to the extent of mockery and ridicule.” Little could he have imagined that it would be the Army’s leadership who would promote their downgrade‚ who would delete the “hallowed words” from West Point’s mission statement.  MacArthur memorably ended his speech by noting that he had little time left on this earth: The shadows are lengthening for me. The twilight is here. My days of old have vanished‚ tone and tint…. I listen vainly‚ but with thirsty ears‚ for the witching melody of faint bugles blowing reveille‚ of far drums beating the long roll. In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns‚ the rattle of musketry‚ the strange‚ mournful mutter of the battlefield. “But in the evening of my memory‚” he said‚ “always I come back to West Point. Always there echoes and re-echoes: Duty‚ Honor‚ Country.” Not anymore at West Point.

Thursday‚ March 14‚ 2024. This morning‚ as America began its morning commute‚ the most powerful rocket ever built is poised to hurtle skyward from Elon Musk’s Boca Chica‚ Texas‚ Starbase orbital launch platform. The integrated Starship launch system‚ Booster 10 and Starship 28‚ towers 400 feet above the launch platform. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration awarded SpaceX a 110-minute launch window beginning at 8 a.m. EDT‚ and‚ of course‚ SpaceX was already leaning forward. But alas. The weather could have cooperated a bit more — overcast and windshear delayed the countdown. Commercial ship and private boat traffic could have cooperated a bit more — downrange safety zone violations needed to be cleared. The minutes ticked away. The flight director polled the various stations and verified a go for propellent load at T – 00:01:15‚ and the massive stainless steel wonder was poised in the chute — ready to race. T – 00:00:53: Ship liquid oxygen (LOX) load initiated. T – 00:00:51: Ship fuel (liquid methane) load underway. T – 00:00:42: Booster LOX load initiated. T – 00:00:41: Booster fuel load underway. T – 00:00:30: SpaceX flight director verifies go for launch. T – 00:00:10: Flame deflectors activated. T – 00:00:03: Raptor ignition sequence begins. All of the massive booster’s 33 Raptor engines ignite.  Finally‚ at 9:25 a.m. EDT‚ with only 25 minutes left in the launch window: Excitement is guaranteed. T – 00:00:00: BLAST OFF. There is absolutely nothing like it. A focused fireball of flame from 33 methyl lox Raptor engines lift the 400-foot integrated Starship launch vehicle.  T + 00:00:52: Accelerating to over 1‚200 miles per hour in less than a minute‚ the integrated Starship reaches MAX Q‚ the moment of peak mechanical stress on the rocket — and has to throttle down. T + 00:02:42: Most Engines Cut Off (MECO). T + 00:02:44: Hot-staging. The Starship upper stage vehicle’s six Raptor engines ignite‚ and the ship separates from the booster and reaches for Earth orbit. More excitement guaranteed.  T + 00:02:55: With the starship on its way‚ the booster initiates booster boostback burn. T + 00:03:50: Booster-boostback-burn engine shutdown. T + 00:06:30: Booster is transonic. T + 00:06:46: Booster landing burn startup. T + 00:07:04: The now-vertical booster shuts down all but 13 of its engines‚ using their gimble capabilities to steer the booster to its splashdown point. The plan was to then shut down all but three engines to simulate a return to the Boca Chica Spaceport launch/landing platform‚ to be captured by their unique “chopstick” arms. Although a glitch prevented the final three-engine descent‚ and the “soft landing” was “harder than optimal‚” the booster did achieve its targeted splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico‚ 12 miles from Boca Chica Spaceport. Although SpaceX will not attempt recovery of the booster‚ the telemetry and data transmissions continued all the way down‚ providing valuable data to inform the next iteration‚ Flight 4. Even more excitement guaranteed.  While the booster splashes down‚ the Starship vehicle second stage skips across the upper boundaries of the Earth’s atmosphere under full power before cutting off engines to enter a coasting phase. While in coasting mode and 12 minutes into its maiden flight‚ ground control opens the upper stage’s payload door and successfully closes them 12 minutes later — an essential demonstration for future Starlink satellite deployments.   Twenty-six minutes into the flight‚ the ship achieves an in-space transfer of propellant‚ another key demonstration of the flight to model a capability to move propellant from one tank within the vehicle to another. All while traveling 16‚300 miles per hour and 128 miles above the Earth.  At T + 49 minutes‚ Starship 28 successfully reenters the Earth’s atmosphere. At T + 50 minutes‚ all telemetry is lost — and the ship is presumed to have broken up‚ prior to achieving a controlled splashdown in the Indian Ocean.   But still‚ the furthest and fastest a Starship has ever travelled. Wow. This was only the third test flight of an integrated Starship. Flight 1 launched in April of last year — but the two stages failed to separate‚ tumbled back toward Earth‚ and self-destructed in a spectacular “rapid unscheduled disassembly‚” or RUD‚ SpaceX-speech for “an exciting end to its mission” (it blew up). Excitement guaranteed.  Flight 2 flew last November and saw the integrated Starship successfully launch and separate — but the booster exploded during its boostback burn. The second stage starship vehicle achieved an altitude of over 93 miles before a vent of excess LOX caused a fire that‚ again‚ resulted in a “rapid unscheduled disassembly” (it blew up). (RELATED: A Consequential Moment for Humanity in Time and Space) And now — less than one year after its very first launch — SpaceX has successfully launched the integrated Starship‚ built on lessons learned from the previous two flights. It’s a big deal. A very big deal. Four additional Starships and four boosters are already standing in reserve. The next ship‚ Booster 11 and Starship 29‚ may be rolled out as soon as this coming weekend — with a June launch not out of the question. The starship launch system is designed to be a fully reuseable two-stage heavy-lift vehicle capable of inserting 100 to 150 tonnes into low-Earth orbit when configured for cargo. Configured for personnel‚ it is designed to carry as many as 100 crew. After linking up in Earth orbit with a ship configured as a fueler‚ the ship can support lunar landings‚ manned lunar stations‚ and ultimately travel to Mars and beyond. Excitement guaranteed.

In the current discourse surrounding the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC)‚ a prevailing narrative has emerged‚ as highlighted in a recent Politico article‚ that mistakenly warns of a future Trump administration’s destruction of the IC as we know it. This perspective is biased and misguided. The real crisis in the Intelligence Community is not what Trump will do if reelected but how to resolve the total erosion of public trust in the IC due to the actions of the D.C. intelligence establishment over the past several decades. READ MORE: Still Looking at You‚ Kids: Congress Aims to Extend Warrantless Surveillance for the Foreseeable Future The intelligence officials quoted by Politico‚ in decrying politicization‚ ironically contribute to it‚ exacerbating the broader loss of faith in our institutions. The Intelligence Community‚ a cornerstone of our national security‚ must operate insulated from politics — a necessity for its credibility and effectiveness in safeguarding national interests. The moment intelligence becomes a pawn in political games‚ it loses its credibility. Intelligence professionals must be quiet professionals driven by a commitment to truth and security‚ not political agendas. Of course‚ the Intelligence Community has not remained insulated from politics‚ and its credibility has been tarnished as a result. The American public has developed a profound skepticism of intelligence practices‚ and Republican support for the IC fell from 71 percent to 51 percent from 2020 to 2022. In addition‚ trust in the FBI is at record lows‚ with only 17 percent of Republicans having a positive view of the agency. The “entrenched D.C. intelligence apparatus‚” a term I use to encompass long-time government officials‚ policymakers‚ and certain elements within the intelligence community itself‚ is largely to blame for this dramatic loss of trust by the American people. In fact‚ to the broader public‚ the Intelligence Community is known mostly for various scandals over the last few years. These include coordinating with big tech companies to censor Americans and control the public narrative‚ the handling of the Hunter Biden laptop reveal — where a letter signed by former IC heads declared it Russian propaganda for partisan reasons — and the selective targeting of groups like anti-abortion advocates and devout Catholics. (RELATED: Discredited: Senators Question FBI on Anti-Catholic Richmond Memo) Agencies have also labeled parents who oppose inflammatory policies in schools as “domestic terrorists‚” and the leak of classified documents has become a regular fixture of news headlines. When I enlisted as an intelligence analyst in the Army in 2015‚ sensitive compartmented information facilities (SCIFs) were not common knowledge. Now‚ users on X casually throw around the term in online debate regarding classified information. You see‚ there’s no need to warn of politicization in the IC. The IC has already been politicized and has found a willing partner in American mainstream media. Of course‚ even when the Intelligence Community focuses on its mission‚ it tends to make very public mistakes.  Unexplained secrets like the Chinese balloon‚ a massive intelligence failure precipitating the withdrawal from Afghanistan‚ and ignored warnings leading up to Jan. 6 are just a few notable failures from only the past few years. It may be difficult in an industry where your failures are front-page news while your successes stay classified‚ but a legacy of high-profile intelligence and communication failures are much harder to ignore when the American people no longer trust you. The credibility of the Intelligence Community is its currency; without it‚ its insights may be ignored during international turmoil. Safeguarding the integrity of the IC‚ therefore‚ is critical. It does us no good to have the most advanced and capable intelligence apparatus on the planet if the American people cannot rely on it to serve its function without political bias or meddling. It is not the IC that is solely to blame‚ however. Officials and lawmakers have increasingly used the Intelligence Community as a political cudgel with which to push their narratives‚ which has elevated it in the public consciousness. Selective release of intelligence and citing intelligence officials to attack political opponents are tactics growing more common in Washington. Restoring public trust in the IC is imperative. This can only be achieved by addressing the systemic issues within the D.C. establishment that have contributed to the politicization of intelligence. Donald Trump was not the person who brought about this mistrust; the very community of officials who now run to the media to prevent his reelection are to blame. The increasing politicization and waning public trust in the IC will eventually lead to a consensus on the need for substantive reform of the intelligence apparatus. This is not as radical as it sounds; instead‚ it represents a realignment of the Intelligence Community’s operations with its foundational principles. This may involve a thorough restructuring‚ possibly under the guidance of a bipartisan commission‚ with the aim of eliminating entrenched biases and restoring public trust. In conclusion‚ the issue at hand is not about the potential actions of any administration‚ least of all Trump’s. It has to do with a deep-seated problem within the Intelligence Community itself — a deviation from its core principles of neutrality and objectivity.

Leftist narrative totally falls apart A toxicology report released Wednesday from a medical examiner’s office in Owasso‚ Oklahoma‚ revealed non-binary teenager Nex Benedict died from an intentional drug overdose and not due to being attacked by peers in a high school bathroom. “The probable cause of death resulted from Diphenhydramine and Fluoxetine combined toxicity‚” the medical examiner’s report stated. Last month‚ Infowars exposed the mainstream media and Democrat politicians who echoed false claims about Benedict’s tragic death. While other news outlets and lawmakers used the teen dying to promote their agendas‚ Infowars reported on the Owasso Police Department investigation that determined Nex “did not die as a result of trauma” from the fight. Despite the fact the death is not being attributed to the physical altercation in the bathroom‚ politicians like Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)‚ Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) are using the tragedy to push their political agendas.Introducing Next Level Foundational Energy from Dr. Jones Naturals starting at 30% off!

Suspect apparently fled to U.S. in 2022 to escape impending statutory rape charges in Brazil‚ reports indicate A male illegal alien wanted for raping a child in Brazil has been arrested in Connecticut‚ according to authorities. On Tuesday‚ Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the apprehension of a 40-year-old Brazilian fugitive who was illegally present in the U.S. The Brazilian entered the U.S. as a tourist in March of 2022 and then stayed in the country more than a year after his visa expired until he was tracked down near his residence in Bridgeport‚ Connecticut. The illegal alien has been wanted for statutory rape in the Brazilian province of Parana since June of 2022‚ indicating that he may have fled to the U.S. to avoid impending charges at the time. ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) office in Boston became aware of the suspect’s presence in New England and finally apprehended him on February 14.Survival Shield X-3 is BACK at the Infowars Store!
