After the photos from yesterday’s post on clouds I think we’ve had quite enough beauty and it’s time to get back down into the muck of common humanity.

How low can humanity go?

Well let’s start with the story of Sam Brinton, fabulously acclaimed as the first ever gender-fluid person picked for a leadership position in a Federal agency, in his case becoming the deputy assistant secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the U.S. Department of Energy.

This is they – looking fabulous. Gender-fluid means that some days he’s female and other days a male, and on some days he’s one of the other 57 genders.

At the time that photo was taken people wondered about where he got that outfit from. Two weeks ago Alpha News broke the story about how he’d been arrested for stealing a woman’s suitcase from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. He was caught on camera and since he had no luggage there was no reason for him to be in the collection area.

But the question of his clothing choices has now been definitively answered as it turns out that he was caught a second time doing the same thing, this time at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.

Despite being the insane face of the Biden Administration, along with his mate, Assistant HHS Secretary Rachel Levine, Brinton has actually now been fired. It also turns out that a licensed psychotherapist, Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, had warned them about Brinton’s lies and psychological issues:

“Sam Brinton’s story was always too good to be true. But politicians and activists cared more about how he advanced their narrative than about ensuring that people understand that sexual fluidity goes more than just one way.”

Unfortunately it looks like just one firing won’t do. I know that General Milley was very worried about White Rage in the ranks, but it seems he’s not too concerned with this…. Systemic Perversion?

Looks like people finally found Joe Biden’s Real Dog-Faced Pony Soldiers. Is “Conduct Unbecoming an Officer” still a thing, or has that been trashed along with the rest of Western civilisation?

In Connelly’s defense, pup bondage is what Army Aviation Branch refers to as “Tuesday,” You don’t want to be around on Friday because you won’t like it.

That snark is from former infantry officer, Strieff, who goes on to explain that the US Army has launched an investigation, but that it’s just a sham:

The Army is trying to show the rubes in the cheap seats that “we’re really upset and we’re doing something, oh, and please tell your congressman to vote for the Defense appropriation bill, while you’re at it, how about convincing your kid to enlist.”

Comments in the thread about Colonel Pup Fetish indicate that, literally, everyone knew what he was into. He kept the mask hanging in his office. He and the other men (I use the term advisedly) involved communicated and shared images via social media accounts that were visible to anyone. This behavior went on because the chain of command of Colonel Connelly and his playmates were either OK with the sexual perversion or they were too intimidated by the Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity Gestapo to complain about it.

This is yet another one of those stories like Hunter Biden, Twitter suppression of Right-Wingers, the “fortified” 2020 election and so forth; “everybody knew” – and nobody did anything but accept the corruption. But this crap is having real-world impacts, as Strieff explains:

At one time, the code of the officer corps was the same as that of West Point cadets. You will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate anyone who does. The reason for this is simple. On the battlefield, the truth is vital. Even when the truth is unpleasant and places you or your unit in an unfavorable light.

He refers to a story he wrote way back in 2012 about Brigadier General Tammy Smith, the first lesbian general, which is now celebrated without mentioning the lies and deceit that enabled her to become a general in the first place. The modern chain of command is now okay with such as long as it serves a bigger cause, which did not used to be the case; your career would be trashed if you lied and deceived on duty, irrespective of whether it was in a “good cause”. That was the code.

The US Army is an institution in crisis. Culturally, it was foundering by the time 9/11 took place. The failures in Iraq and Afghanistan stripped the Army of its ability to resist adopting Critical Race Theory and DIE indoctrination, assuming arguendo that it wanted to resist. Indeed, the Army seems to have embraced every institution-killing novelty Ivy League race-and-gender faculties can dish out.

This has not happened without cost. The cost has been the warrior ethos any military force needs for battlefield success. The cost has been camaraderie replaced with division along race and gender lines. The cost has been the destruction of unit cohesion in the combat arms by inserting into those units sexual relationships, natural and unnatural. The yet unpaid cost is dead soldiers because the career possibilities for women were more important than lives (Women In Combat: Making A Virtue Of Weakness Gets People Killed).

The son of a good friend of ours is on the verge of entering the US Infantry Branch after finishing his Bachelors degree at Princeton. He’s White, Male, Catholic and Heterosexual. I have not the heart to send his parents this story, but given Gen Z’s Social Media habits he’ll know about it soon enough. Given his personality he will likely decide to stick with it and try to improve things, but given that his ideas for a good and effective infantry will differ markedly from that of his fellow officers, I fear for his professional future.
