We normally think of terrorist training camps being conducted in remote areas in distant countries. But we now have evidence compiled by the Justice Department that as many as 35 terrorist training camps right here in the U.S. What group is sponsoring these camps? What violent acts has it already committed? What are trainees being taught? Where are these camps? Why isn’t the government cracking down? We ask these questions and more to Ryan Mauro, terrorism analyst for the Christian Action Network, which uncovered the Justice Department report and a training video from these radical camps.
David Bellavia and I discuss the massive porkfest underway in Washington for most of the first hour and barely scratch the surface of how horrible it is.
On his syndicated radio talk show today G Gordon Liddy was joined by Melanie Morgan from Move America Forward. Ms. Morgan and the Gman talked about why closing Gitmo would be a bad idea..Take a look at the ad Move America Forward produced.
Destined to become part of the literature of the Iraq War…a substantial contribution to history.
…about an anti-military book called Deserter’s Tale by uber-liar Joshua Key, you need the boys at This Ain’t Hell (who are on fire) and other milblogs (like this excellent post from ROKDrop) to have a dose of truth.
BTW, the LA Times also said the Joshua Key “is believable.“ I would add that it “is believable” only to those who need Joshua Key’s lies to fit their own narrative of our military and the war in Iraq. Here is the tribute video by Del Ryan whose wonderful attitude and utter cluelessness led to him being our first guest on Blue Falcon Radio.
David and I spend the first half hour discussing the cult of competent cultists President Obama has assembled but in the second half hour we hit comedy gold. We do an episode of the mythical Blue Falcon radio show with a gentleman who wrote a tribute song to weaselly lying deserter Joshua Key, who wrote the book Deserter’s Tale, which is full of lies about atrocities never committed. We spend the time telling him stories out of Platoon and other fanciful fictions and he bites and bites and bites. enjoy.

Update: Here is a serious tribute to Joshua Key that YOU MUST WATCH. WARNING: I’m still have tears on my face from laughing so hard…seriously, I was good until the part about Kentucky Fried Chicken…I think this dude hit the bong a few times before doing this very special tribute.
Here is our guest friend who is quite the deserter supporter.
