Why a New Organization is Needed within the Intelligence Community

Why a New Organization is Needed within the Intelligence Community by Kerry Patton “If you look back today over the last 25 years, it is a fact that we have had a progressive degeneration of our intelligence community in general; in particular in the field of human intelligence.” —Paul Bremmer _____ After the heinous attacks against the United States on 9-11-2001, the U.S. … [Read more...]

IS-K: Defeated in Afghanistan or Merely Taking Refuge for Global Expansion? by Kerry Patton Khorasan Province, better known as Islamic State Khorasan (IS-K) or ISISK (or any other ISIS acronym with a “K” attached) brutally destroyed parts of Nangahar Province over the years, specifically in and around the Shinwari District.

When a “Bully” Raises His Hand…Tackle the Darkness and Shed Some Light

When a "Bully" Raises His Hand...Tackle the Darkness and Shed Some Light by Kerry Patton Back in 2015, I was asked to be a guest speaker at a local elementary school to speak to children in Kindergarten through 6th Grade. I felt honored so I did it. Interestingly, they opened the event up with an empty chair draped with a white cloth and on top of it was a folded American … [Read more...]

Spouses in the Shadows: Life in the Clandestine Services

Spouses in the Shadows: Life in the Clandestine Services by Kerry Patton We often discuss our admiration for and give praise to military spouses. Rarely does anyone ever discuss the life of a spouse married into the secretive world of clandestine operations — spouses in the shadows. I learned of a spouse who passed away. How she died, I don’t necessarily know. What I … [Read more...]

Impeachment: The Democrat Shaping Operation

Impeachment: The Democrat Shaping Operation by Kerry Patton How many remember Democrats shouting, “Racist!” What about, “Sexist!” Or remember the screams of, “Homophobe!” Do you remember Politico’s April 17, 2016, article floating the possibility of impeaching Trump even before he was the Republican nominee? To quote Politico’s senior policy reporter, Darren … [Read more...]

“Do You Pay Taxes?” Thank You, from a Veteran

"Do You Pay Taxes?" Thank You, from a Veteran by a Veteran Veterans Day is a day when many Americans walk up to a Veteran and say "Thank you for your service." Some of us feel awkward and don’t know how to really respond while others eat up all the praises. Me? I just ask a real simple question: “Do you pay taxes?” Why would any veteran ask if an appreciative … [Read more...]

If Harvey Weinstein Had a Vagina

If Harvey Weinstein Had a Vagina by Kevin Wilson This first appeared in The Havok Journal in October of 2017. Shhhhh…. Don’t speak. Silence…. That is more than likely what would have happened if Harvey Weinstein were really Halley Weinstein (his female self). No one would say a word. Those that did would have been shunned. And the media would not have made his … [Read more...]

Why the Kurds May Be Blamed for the U.S. Pullout from Syria

Why the Kurds May Be Blamed for the U.S. Pullout from Syria by Kerry Patton Many Americans are upset that the U.S. is pulling troops from Syria. They are more upset at the fact they believe the move would cripple U.S. - Kurdish relations. While they may be correct, to a degree, the U.S./Kurdish relationship was already tattered two years ago. Few realize that the Kurds … [Read more...]

A Tragedy Ends with the Purest Expression of Love: Forgiveness

A Tragedy Ends with the Purest Expression of Love: Forgiveness by Kerry Patton A friend recently shared a meme on Facebook (because you know, that’s what we do these days). But it was possibly the most gut-hitting meme I have seen in a while. It struck a nerve deep within the world of truth. The words were simply: “We Are All Bad in Someone’s Story” Upon … [Read more...]
