Following independence from Portugal, the ruling Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), established a one-party, Marxist-Leninist state. Angola was officially a communist satellite from 1975 to 1992, with the country heavily aligned with the Soviet Union and Cuba, to whom much was owed. How they got to this point was a civil war between pro-western forces and the communist insurgents, supplied with weapons by the Soviets and military expertise by the Cubans. So

I’ve already explained the pervasive doomsday belief of the Iranians and how this makes it impossible to come to any sort of rational conclusion to the Iran conflict. They will lie, cheat, drag their feet while feigning compliance, and ultimately, break any agreement signed or otherwise agreed to, in order to advance their obsession with the “End Times.” But the Iranians aren’t the only ones obsessed with the return, or arrival of their Messiah.

The "wolf, sheep, and sheepdog" analogy was popularized by military psychologist, Lt. Col. Dave Grossman in his book “On Combat” and was brought to the mainstream in the film “American Sniper.” The concept divides the human population into three distinct archetypes based on their relationship to violence and capacity to act as a protector. The concept has been part of military and law enforcement training since its introduction. The three roles are defined as follows: • The S

I am going to tell you a story. It is about one of the most remarkable, and most suppressed intelligence failures in American history. I’ll be surprised that anyone you ask will tell you they know about this. There was this former Egyptian Army Special Operations intelligence officer by day, and an Islamist by night, Major Ali Mohamed, whose audacity and betrayal is the stuff of movies. He was a full pledged member of Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ), when he participated in a U.
