gang to Michael Yon.

Quite the war/conflict/disaster correspondent – ex-military, smart as a whip, fearless but not stupid.

He writes what he knows about from either first hand presence or deep study of history. Here is the post from him that just came into my email.

Recommend you track him down, subscribe to his outlets, and pay attention. Pulls no punches and an entertaining truth-teller with bottomless energy. Quite the guy.

ALL THE KINGS HORSES
Am taking this opportunity to spotlight my old Afghanistan work. Important to do so because it turned out incredibly accurate. All this between 2006-2011. You may have heard of the Gell-Man Effect. The Gell-Man Effect is that thing that happens when we read an article and KNOW it’s wrong because the journalist is writing about something we know well. Such as our home town. Or one of our specialty fields. And they get it way wrong. And then we turn the page in the same paper and believe the next page from the same paper. This is the Gell-Mann Effect. There is an opposite effect. The Cassandra Curse. With Cassandra Curse, the persistent and long string of predictions that turn out to be accurate are ignored. Or, worse, Cassandra is punished as bearer of bad news. And so this incredibly long strong of high accuracy is like howling at the moon. Go back and read my enormous volume of work on Iraq and Afghanistan between 2005-2011. You will be shocked at the level of accuracy. And now Cassandra warnings: 1) PanFaWar: Big pandemics always lead to famine and war. These will come to pass. 2) These ‘vaccines’ will turn out to be catastrophic. On a massive scale. Details to be announced by historians. 3) United States will go into Civil War. Many people who think they want civil war will change their minds later. Too late. Others will love the war. Power will be reshuffled. China, Russia, and other tyrant’s will fill the vacuum. Japan will wake up too late. Taiwan will be lost. 4) US military will be used against American citizens. 5) People like me will be hunted and often terminated. You carry on. See this dispatch from Afghanistan. If nothing else, see the pictures. Afghanistan was foretold from the ground. Thank you for your support. I cannot do it without your financial help, and sharing my work. https://www.michaelyon-online.com/all-the-kings-horses-some-notes-from-a-weekend-of-thought.htm?comment_id=18896
