  • Towards the peak of his military career, Bryan Ray had achieved nearly everything he'd set out to do. He'd excelled as a solider, embraced command, and been entrusted with the kind of decision-making that only the bravest dare to reach. But as any mountaineer knows, with the highest highs come the lowest lows, and it's all too easy for a leaders mind to wander when lives are at stake.
    Part 2 of Bryan's story picks up where Episode 131 left off - a harrowing story of how another day in the desert became an unforgettable experience, for better or worse.

    you know what really fkn sucks, what got these guys to go fight for this country, wasnt exactly fortright. The official version has so many holes. for instance the plane that the passengers supposedly fought back, causing it to crash off target. the locals previous to that crash on 9/11, eported a fighter jet circling around a field then launching a rocket /missle and hitting and causing an indent in the ground. the official version was the passenger jet hit the ground so hard it just liquified int the ground, pointing to the indent caused by the previous us fighter jet that launched a rocket and actually causing the impression in the ground. fbi blocked off an area out in the wods where the plane actually went down. they had summoned the help of local heavy equipmennt, and had the coroner signing blind,.

      Crashes where planes hit at full velocity always result in total destruction. It’s not just this one. Also, it’s normal for them to tape off crash sites and/or crime scenes. It sounds like you have some preconceptions you are stubbornly determined to believe regardless of, not because of, whatever evidence you’re presented with, so your conclusions aren’t very persuasive because you’re finding even normal stuff suspicious.

      @@animula6908 Its normal that a fighter jet launches a rocket to cause an indent in a field, then to believe the plane they said hit the ground so hard it just liquified into the ground. They never said it landed out in the woods where they actually were gathering the pieces. So a plane hits the ground, and liquifies into the ground, not one piece of debris was anywhere in sight where they said it hit. Why was the fighter jet out there just before the supposed liquification into the ground. Thats what is crazy, as smart as any special forces guy is, that anyone could look at the facts and not see they were had.

    I spent over 20 years in the health and fitness and supplement industries. In the presence of glycogen, your body and brain will always choose glycogen. You can spend 30 days on a keto diet and knock yourself out of ketosis with 20 to 30 grams of carbs. Taking indigenous ketone while not on a low carb or keto diet doesn't make sense. Sure, you'll piss ketones but your brain and body are still using glycogen, not the ketones. I'm a big low carb guy and I use ketones for jiu jitsu and training. Sometimes even in the morning for a quick boost. Ketones work. In the presence of glycogen, not so much.

      @@equinoxnemesis6170 I do have a permaculture food garden on my little suburb property I'm on. I own this from a "prior life" when I had different beliefs. I am currently trying to find and buy land in rural Oklahoma actually near the native reservations and national forest. I don't think getting off the internet is the answer as it is a resource and comms. That said so is 2 way radio, and I have that to. The main reason I'll remain online is I eventually plan on making some of what I say a reality. I'm not anti capitalism per se but capitalism like all organisms needs to be challenged. It needs competition to keep it healthy and I don't mean the market within capitalism here. We need real barter and trade infrastructure and real locally produced goods and people and their families and neighborhoods need to be the producers and not consumers. This isn't to remove a capitalist market it's to keep it honest. The more self reliant people are the less need there is to be the commodity in the capitalist paradigm if you don't need all the toys and luxuries that they say it offers. If poor people have a means to sustain themselves independent of capitalism most of the world's issues goes away because much of the elites power would evaporate. The capitalist markets should be for excess/luxury basically and those who would be the slaves in that paradigm need an alternate way to get their basic needs met and a barter and trade of goods and services without currency is that answer. Now is the time we can pull this off to because the elites won't really need human slaves as much as in the past to run their my money machine.
      Also, I don't necessarily mean to disrespect these fellow humans I simply want to make the point, loudly, that we can't just parrot servicemen as being heroes because it's condoning the current system. It's condoning murder for ideology sake. It's not about defense anyways, so this idea I need this army is even more moot in reality. All empires are doomed from their onset we have to learn to avoid trying to build them. These men like allen are not beyond redemption but the flag waiving has to stop
