Look, I don’t know what MacArthur Park turned into after the pandemic because I moved away in 2020 but it’s a historically Hispanic and Korean area. Do they really want to fuck with the locals? Because MS-13 actually is in that area but they leave all the civilians alone. This is embarrassing. We are embarrassing as a country.
From William Arkin's 2002 article on the Iraq War planning:
"New weapons and equipment are opening the way to new strategies and new tactics, but the technology is changing faster than the understanding and vision of those who command it."
This is still applicable today, especially in regards to Ukraine and the evolution of drone warfare there.
Ken, I think you made a very good call to team up with William Arkin when you became an independent journalist and moved to Substack.
Nassau County New York Will Let Officers Wear Masks When Working With ICE.
The Long Island county, which recently barred residents from wearing masks in many circumstances, will allow police officers to wear them during immigration enforcement and other actions. HO HO HO
The brass is happy to do it. You could literally crack a skull and then be running ice. After enough of these a radicalized pfc going to fire off a round
Ken! Keep shining a light on these clownshoe operations. Also glad to know there are people inside who give a shit. I suspect it's more than a few
Lots of people who do! Just not at the top
Can't tell if this is bemusing and encouraging news or an immensely frustrating waste of money. Probably both, I guess
both in my opinion!

Give me a Sieg Heil!!
It is an embarrassment for the US. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😅
Excellent stuff. Keep your head on a swivel. OT, but shocking that Epstein didn't have a Dead Man switch to send petabytes of info to Anonymous.
Any idea which agency got the off-brand name? "Jack Daniels" would be pretty obvious.
"Cthulhu Six" is pretty goofy, but nothing will top "chatterbate".

Great stuff! And I’m always happy to hear an Arkin anecdote.
he's got so many good ones!
Well done...
Yes, “These guys are dorks” who have not produced a single photo of
hunter’s hawg.
Ken, it's always such a delight to read your stuff. The added humor and pointed ridicule is a wonderful addition.
Thanks! I believe strongly that even critical people's impression of the national security state gives it far too much credit. it's a circus!
Who? The ending is hysterical. You can't make this shit up! Thanks, Ken
i lol'd when he told me
All the world’s a stage.
but the stage is badly cast
Are you on a first name basis at this point?
