Norman Schwarzkopf Jr.
Tumblr media
Physique: Stocky build Height: 6'3" (1.91 m)
Herbert Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. KCB (August 22, 1934 – December 27, 2012) was a United States Army general. While serving as the commander of United States Central Command, he led all coalition forces in the Gulf War against Ba'athist Iraq. Schwarzkopf retired shortly after the end of the war and undertook a number of philanthropic ventures, only occasionally stepping into the political spotlight before his death from complications of pneumonia in late 2012 at the age of 78. Schwarzkopf was survived by his wife Brenda and their three children.

The Trenton, NJ native was one of the memorable things about the Gulf War, at least for me. Just by the look of him, I think the 6-foot-3-inch 240-pounder with grim determined eyes, Schwarzkopf might have been a hell of a good fuck. And with nicknames like 'Stormin’ Norman' and 'The Bear,' it really helps the fantasy. Schwarzkopf came home to a hero’s welcome, appearing at a ticker-tape parade up Broadway, the Pegasus Parade at the Kentucky Derby in Louisville and an unusual joint session of Congress, where he received a standing ovation. Even Queen Elizabeth II awarded him a knighthood. And I would have offered him 'the goods' if given the opportunity.

Schwarzkopf was a burly highly decorated Vietnam War veteran who was easily angered considered an exceptional leader. But they miss the gentler man who listened to Pavarotti, Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan; who loved hunting, fishing and ballet; and, like any soldier, called home twice a week from the war zone. Awww… now I feel bad for wanting to fuck him. Not really.

“Frankly, any man that doesn't cry scares me a little bit. I don't think I would like a man who was incapable of enough emotion to get tears in his eyes every now and then. That type of person scares me. That's not a human being.”

Ghostly Displays at Fort Lewis?
Some people believe that not only can buildings be haunted, but objects, such as clothing, furniture, and weapons, can be haunted as well. This might be the case at Fort Lewis Military Museum, outside Seattle, where there are rumors that certain objects on display are infused with some of the violence of the wars in which they were used.
Museum burglar alarms have been tripped both day and night, even though no one has been inside the building. People have reported seeing other people looking out the third-floor windows when the museum was empty.
Employees point out that the museum is an old building that sometimes creaks and settles, which may set off burglar alarms. They also store display mannequins on the third floor, which could be mistaken for a ghost in a window. However, employees admit that at least one person died there in the past, when the museum was a hotel. And once an exorcism was held to put suspected spirits to rest.
The museum has military displays from the earliest days of settlement in Washington, as well as from units that were based at Fort Lewis. It's also got the Jeep of General H. "Stormin" Norman Schwarzkopf Jr., a Vietnam and Gulf War hero. We don't know which items trigger ghost activity, but if you want to try to figure out which ones are the culprits, you can stop by the museum from Wednesday through Sunday, when it is open.

Kremlin Dismisses ‘Outrageous’ Hypocrite International Criminal Court (ICC) Claims
The Hague-based body has no authority in Russia, spokesman points out
"The decisions of the International Criminal Court have no significance for our country, including from a legal point of view," Zakharova wrote in a Telegram post Friday. "Russia is not a party to the ICC's Rome Statute and bears no obligations under it. Russia is not engaged in cooperation with this body, and any possible [orders] for arrests coming from the court will be legally null and void for us," she added.
Moscow is under no obligation to acknowledge the “arrest warrant” for President Vladimir Putin announced by the International Criminal Court on Friday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.
“We consider the very premise outrageous and unacceptable,” Peskov told reporters when asked about the warrant for purported war crimes. “Russia, like many other states, does not recognize the jurisdiction of this court. Accordingly, the Russian Federation considers any of its pronouncements null and void from the legal standpoint.”
When will “Hypocrite International Criminal Court (ICC)” issues warrants to arrest “REAL WAR CRIMINALS” Biden, Obama, Bush Sr., Bush Jr., Dick Cheney, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, Collin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Hillary Clinton, Madeleine Albright, Jorge Tenet, Norman Schwarzkopf, Nicolas Sarkozy, Tony Blair, North Atlantic Terrorist Organization’s (NATO’s) Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Palestine’s illegal occupier Zionist Cunt Satan-Yahu, MODI of India and so many around the Globe?
The ICC on Friday issued warrants for the arrest of Putin and Russia’s Children’s Ombudsman Maria Lvova-Belova, accusing them of “unlawful transfer” of children from Ukraine to Russia. They claim Putin and Lvova-Belova bear both individual and command responsibility for the alleged war crime.
Former Russian President and Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev summed up the "arrest warrant" with a single emoji, tweeting that there’s "no need to explain WHERE this paper should be used," accompanying the comment with a toilet paper icon.
The Russian authorities have evacuated thousands of residents from Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson – four regions that overwhelmingly voted to join Russia last September – to the interior, due the deliberate shelling of civilians by Ukrainian forces, often using NATO-supplied weapons.
"Today the jurisdiction of the ICC is unrecognized not only by Russia, but also by a number of members of the UN Security Council. Having made such an absurd decision, the ICC has embarked on the path of self-destruction," — Andrey Klishas, chairman of the Russian Federation Council’s committee on constitutional legislation and state construction,.
“It’s great that the international community has appreciated the work to help the children of our country,” Maria Lvova-Belova told reporters on Friday evening.
Neither Russia nor Ukraine have ratified the Rome Statute that established the ICC. The US, which underwrote the tribunals for Yugoslavia and Rwanda on which the ICC was based, adopted a law authorizing a military invasion of the Netherlands if any American is ever detained by the court.
People Comments:
The ICC is just one of the Criminals. Where is Cheney and Bushes Warrant for Mass Murder? Where is Obama and Hillary's warrant for Crimes they committed in Syria and Libya? I would think Europe and America have had enough War in the 20th Century. Why are they pushing for Nuclear annihilation in the 21st?
The ICC ought to be dismantled and put on trial for its cover-up of the mass murder of Iraqi civilians (overwhelmingly women and children) by the U.S.-Britain criminal gang of George W. Bush and Tony Blair. What is the ICC doing to stop the daily killing of Palestinian children by the Israeli Neo-fascist regime? For more than 8 years, the ICC turned blind eye to the killing and misplacement of women and children in Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson by the Ukrainian Neo-Nazi regime.
Again, another US controlled court with zero chances of being unbiase.

The Art of War (Chinese: 孫子兵法) is an ancient Chinese military treatise dating from the Late Spring and Autumn Period (roughly 5th century BC). The work, which is attributed to the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu ("Master Sun"), is composed of 13 chapters. Each one is devoted to a different set of skills (or "art") related to warfare and how it applies to military strategy and tactics. For almost 1,500 years it was the lead text in an anthology that was formalized as the Seven Military Classics by Emperor Shenzong of Song in 1080. The Art of War remains the most influential strategy text in East Asian warfare and has influenced both Far Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy, lifestyles and beyond.
The book contains a detailed explanation and analysis of the 5th-century BC Chinese military, from weapons and strategy to rank and discipline. Sun also stressed the importance of intelligence operatives and espionage to the war effort. Considered one of history's finest military tacticians and analysts, his teachings and strategies formed the basis of advanced military training for millennia to come.
The book was translated into French and published in 1772 (re-published in 1782) by the French Jesuit Jean Joseph Marie Amiot. A partial translation into English was attempted by British officer Everard Ferguson Calthrop in 1905 under the title The Book of War. The first annotated English translation was completed and published by Lionel Giles in 1910.
Military and political leaders such as the Chinese communist revolutionary Mao Zedong, Japanese daimyō Takeda Shingen, Vietnamese general Võ Nguyên Giáp, and American military general Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. are all cited as having drawn inspiration from the book.

Lindbergh Kidnapping
Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr., 20-month-old son of the famous aviator and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, was kidnapped about 9:00 p.m., on March 1, 1932, from the nursery on the second floor of the Lindbergh home near Hopewell, New Jersey. he child’s absence was discovered and reported to his parents, who were then at home, at approximately 10:00 p.m. by the child’s nurse, Betty Gow. A search of the premises was immediately made and a ransom note demanding $50,000 was found on the nursery window sill. After the Hopewell police were notified, the report was telephoned to the New Jersey State Police, who assumed charge of the investigation.
During the search at the kidnapping scene, traces of mud were found on the floor of the nursery. Footprints, impossible to measure, were found under the nursery window. Two sections of the ladder had been used in reaching the window, one of the two sections was split or broken where it joined the other, indicating that the ladder had broken during the ascent or descent. There were no blood stains in or about the nursery, nor were there any fingerprints.
The Investigation: 1932-1934
On March 2, 1932, after a conference with the Attorney General, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had contacted the headquarters of the New Jersey State Police at Trenton, New Jersey. He officially informed the organization that the U.S. Department of Justice would afford Colonel H. Norman Schwarzkopf, the Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police, the assistance and cooperation of the FBI in bringing about the apprehension of the parties responsible for the kidnapping. He advised the New Jersey State Police that they could call upon the Bureau for any facilities or resources which the latter might be capable of extending. The special agent in charge of the New York City Office of the Bureau, which at that time covered the New Jersey district, was instructed accordingly and, upon instructions from the Director, the special agent in charge communicated with the New Jersey State Police and the New York City Police, offering any assistance which the Bureau might be able to lend in this matter.
During the next few weeks the Bureau was acting merely in an auxiliary capacity, there being no federal jurisdiction. However, on May 13, 1932, the President directed that all governmental investigative agencies should place themselves at the disposal of the state of New Jersey and that the FBI should serve as a clearinghouse and coordinating agency for all investigations in this case conducted by federal investigative units.
On May 23, 1932, the FBI in New York City informed banks in greater New York that the Bureau was the coordinating agency for all governmental activity in the case. A close watch for ransom money was requested.

Both, World’s Deadliest Warmonger and War Criminal, Are Patting Each Others’ Backs! WTF?
John McCain Was a Good Man on the Papers, But He Was a “Deadliest Warmonger” as Well. Now Staying, Resting, Rotting and Burning 🔥 in Hell Forever. Just Look at His Records of Wars When It Comes to Iran, Iraq, Syria, Veitnam and Afghanistan. On the Other-hand Obama is a War Criminal and Should Be Behind Bars to Stay, Rest, Rot and Burn 🔥 in Hell Forever. Obama will Definitely Join the Club of War Criminals: McCain, Bush Sr., Rumsfeld, Collin Powell, Norman Schwarzkopf, Madeleine Albright and So Many Others Around the Globe. On the waiting list are: Bush Jr., Dickhead Cheney, Condomleeza Rice, Killary Clinton, Ashcroft, British Bloody Bastard Blair, Sarkozy and so many more Boak Bollocks.
