I hate Hegseth, but he is doing a GOOD thing to make the bases independent of the grid, those bases should also be independent of any centralized energy, each and every house, office and so on should be provided with GREEN energy which is a defense mechanism.

BECAUSAE THEY DON'T WANT CIVILIANS TO BE ABLE TO DEFEND THEMSELVES FROM THE KKKRISTOFASCIST MILITARY CRACKDOWN BY KNOCKING OUT THE GRID.

All I keep thinking, seeing him walking like that, is when is he going to buy a suit that actually fits him.

The threat to survivability is the assholes beating the war drums while claiming to keep us safe. Republican politicians & trump officials escalate conflicts, create enemies, then point to the blowback as proof we should be afraid. That’s not national security. It’s arsonists selling fire insurance.

brother gonna need to study survivability to make it past that impeachment vote waiting for him when the House comes back in session....

Their “Fortress America” is yet another scam. I guarantee you Trump insiders are engineering a land grab where DoW(D) will have to lease the land from them.

Furthermore, Trump connected companies will build and maintain the base infrastructure with materials sourced from Trump connected companies. And none of this will done at fair market rates.

I get that planning for all eventualities is part of being prepared but this promotion sounds like they are now trying to scare people into thinking end times are basically just around the corner!

Bet he thinks Trump is gonna pre-pardon him. I think he should spend some time looking at Trump's ankles and the weird leg thing he's got going on now. Trump isn't loyal to anyone and might just not get to it and I think he might become unable to pardon anyone before getting around to Heggy.

Sadly for him pardons only protect him from federal prosecutions. He's complicit in a bevy of state crimes that he can't be pardoned for. Not to mention civil suits for his discrimination against black, female and LGBTQ service members.

They’re trying to get us nuked and I genuinely do not understand why Trump is a fake-for-votes Christian so he must not actually want to cause an apocalypse or rapture or whatever the fuck those people are on about Hegseth is ultimately a soft handed drunk; he likes to bully women but he’s not

a tough guy among actual tough guys Elon’s ketamine supply will almost certainly run out; what is the point of siring 1,000 kids if you’re just going to get the earth nuked? None of this makes sense, and I’m pretty sure it’d be fairly easy to stop these morons if anyone really felt like it

Just how are they planning on making every base self-supplied of power? I'm guessing almost every military installation is pretty landlocked and has limited area to build some sort of power station.

Wake up and smell the fascism, folks! Hegseth’s lackeys trying to give the Pentagon an independent source of revenue by making a “deal” for Venezuelan oil. Now a plan to make domestic military installations independent of the civilian grid. All steps to wrest the Pentagon from civilian control.

Really good journalism right here. Shows the myriad devils in the details of the regime’s dubious effort to control Venezuelan oil; most notably this dangerous initiative to give the Pentagon independent sources of revenue. That is *not* a recipe for civilian control of the military, folks.

And the evidence keeps mounting. It’s right in front of our faces, folks. Hegseth grooming our military to be loyal to Trump, not to The Constitution. A recipe for a Junta. Stemming this tide, starting with Hegseth’s impeachment, will have to be the No.1 agenda item for a Democratic Congress.

📌NEWS: Pete Hegseth said that the Pentagon is eliminating 1 in 5 generals and admirals. 📌NOTE: Authoritarian regimes eliminate military leaders who they believe aren't loyal to the regime. 📌UPSHOT: This is a very concerning development in the GOP's ongoing attack on America and her Democracy.

He could always speak to the victims of Little Saint James or Lolita Express if he’s serious about understanding what’s survivable or who has survivability. Too bad he doesn’t want women in the military because they’ve proven time and again they are made of tougher stuff.

The way things are going, we’re just making enemies for ourselves. This is nothing more than a scheme to make the rich even richer, a complete waste of money that only ends up in their pockets.

He's playing War Lord again isn't he? Generate their own power....get outta town!!This admin is so stupid when it comes to energy or doing ANYTHING correctly is laughable. Shit, they cant even keep the troops safe and healthy on ships now. Settle down Captain Testosterone and go play in your room

This is what is called projecting "command presence". It is a tactic used by armed forces who are absolutely 100% fucked and outnumbered, but they make a biiiiiig ol cowboy stage show about how big and bad they are to make it seem like they aren't nearly as fucked as they really are...

So: Solar panels & windmills, with ranks of batteries? Sounds pretty sensible. I mean relying on deliveries of coal or oil to run generators isn't exactly self sufficiency. Or is he talking about a nuclear reactor at each facility?

How are they planning to do anything useful? These aren’t the kind of rich people who have a hobby farm they do useful things at sometimes to try and stay in touch with practical survival skills. These are ketamine rich people

What the rich can’t grok about the apocalypse is that in a survival scenario they’re useless parasites, and money won’t be a thing. As soon as the bombs fall, the big, strong, violent, heavily armed people they hired to protect them will be in charge and throw their asses out of the airlock.

Next he will announce a new Shogun where we also discover who the Axis and Allies are for our Conquest of The Empire

Aaaah so they can cut the civilian power grid if they start to lose control but major military installations (where the most toxic of Trump admin officials have been living this term for “security reasons”) will be fine. Nice. Nice nice nice.
