Education is like the prison system: both are designed to make money. Both hold their “assets” in prison and both have a poor record of success.

Respect falls like dust in the wind. Trust shatters like glass under pressure.

But loyalty… is forged in fire—and given only once.

It is not a word for the faint of heart. Not a bargain, not a game, not an empty promise. It is an oath that lasts—or abandons you forever.

The ancient Germanic tribes knew this. For them, loyalty was not a feeling, but a law of blood and honor. A warrior stood by his tribe, by his word, by those who fought beside him—until their last breath bore his name.

Whoever broke this bond lost everything: their place, their honor, their heritage. Death was not the greatest punishment—but being forgotten was.

And today?

Too many speak of loyalty without bearing its weight. Too many demand it without having the courage to live it themselves.

So listen carefully: If you ask for my loyalty, then step forward—with your own in return. Because loyalty isn’t given because you want it. It’s earned… or you’ll go away empty-handed.

As on an old battlefield, it still holds true: Only those who are willing to fall with you will stand by your side.

From Huter der Irminsul

Learn From the Birds – about how animals can be teachers if we take the time to connect and observe, from shamanic spiritual guides to real world lessons.

How ideology is overriding our instincts to the detriment of our race. And how race is erroneously separated from species.

How our instincts in mate selection, drive to breed, how to choose and be a good mate, species in-group loyalty, self-protective caution, etc are all being skewed by unnatural ideologies.

I recall an interview Muhammad Ali did with David Frost years ago. Frost was attempting to push mixed race relationships. Ali’s response was, “Why would I want to marry a white woman. I want my children to look like me. Blue birds with blue birds. Red birds with red birds.” Even Ali understood. The birds know.

If entire US bases were wiped out in Operation Epstein Fury, the number of dead is much higher. The lies continue and our options are limited as Congress has completely sold out to special interests and foreign nations.

I’m shocked! Shocked, I say!

The Bogus Blockade Claim of the US Department of War

Now, after more than two weeks, Pete Hegseth has been saying the US blockade is working and getting stronger, describing it as “ironclad,” “tightening by the hour,” and even “going global.” He said the Navy had turned back 34 ships, that transit through the Strait of Hormuz is now “much more limited,” and that the blockade will last “as long as it takes.”

He also framed the blockade as coercive leverage on Iran, saying it is meant to cut off shipping pressure until Tehran abandons its nuclear ambitions. In the same remarks, he warned the U.S. would “shoot to destroy” any Iranian boats laying mines or otherwise threatening commercial shipping.

In order to understand Hegseth’s perfidy, you need to understand the US Navy doctrine for handling a blockade.

Standard Procedure for Seizure and Control

1. Interception and Warnings: US forces (Navy warships, often with Marine or Coast Guard support) issue radio warnings, visual signals, or warning shots to order the vessel to stop. Non-compliance can lead to disabling fire (e.g., targeting engines) to halt the ship without sinking it.
2. Boarding (VBSS): A specialized boarding party—typically from the Navy, Marines (e.g., 31st MEU), or Coast Guard—approaches via small boats, helicopters, or fast-roping. The team secures the bridge, engine room, and key areas to establish control. Teams train for both compliant and non-compliant (opposed) boardings, using tactics for close-quarters battle, searches, and restraint of crew.
3. Taking Control:
   • The boarding party assumes operational command of the vessel.
   • In a formal wartime blockade or armed conflict context, a prize crew (detachment of US personnel) may be placed aboard to sail the seized ship to a friendly port for adjudication. The original crew can be detained, removed, or (for neutrals) sometimes allowed limited continued presence under guard.
   • The ship and cargo become subject to inspection for contraband, sanctions violations, or blockade breach. Under prize law (revivable in armed conflict), a prize court may condemn the vessel/cargo as lawful prize.
4. Post-Seizure: Here is the key point: the vessel is typically escorted to a US or allied port for further inspection, potential forfeiture, or release if the capture is deemed unlawful. Crew handling follows LOAC (e.g., humane treatment; possible internment for belligerents).

The current US deployment means that the US Navy could do VBSS (Visit, board, search, seizure) operations on 11 vessels… Tops! But that would mean that US destroyers, which have the mission of protecting the US carriers from air attacks, would have to be pulled off of their primary mission leaving the carriers to fend for themselves. If we assume that all 11 US ships carried out successful VBSS operations since 15 April, that means between 89% and 96% of all Iranian ships out of the Strait of Hormuz have evaded the blockade. Hegseth is lying.

Of course he’s lying. When is the last time the US government actually told us the truth about anything?

Here’s what the available data (provided by Sonar 21) tells us about Strait of Hormuz transits since April 15:

From the Wandering Spartan:

Anything that deprives man of struggle, or denies him the chance to prove himself, consigns him to an emasculating, low-vril state of decay.

Adopt at once the principle of eternal struggle and declare war against all things tame and base, for your life, no, your very soul depends on it.

Steadiness, fortitude and strength of character. Resilience, perseverance in the face of difficulties.

Never more important to remember than today.
