Going to have to give that another look. I saw it yesterday and what I saw was just him talking about cell phones spying on US.

Like duh!

Then he went on and on about a phone he was selling.

Seemed like a commercial.

Just listened to that one. Lots of interesting stuff in there. Even the sales pitch for his phone had a lot of information in it.

everyone is always selling something or a book. I hear ya.

but I don't care who you are. Prince is brilliant on history and is very interesting to me.

he also spells out a lot of things very wisely. I think he is a spook no doubt but he is smart.

If you want Zucker listening in your bedroom don't buy his phone.

Lots of information not necessarily heard by the general public: our military today has more 4 star generals, with only 10% of the soldiers, than similar generals in WWII. Each general has a valet, a butler, a cook & a driver. The average soldier in Afghanistan faced significant discipline if he lost his rifle. The U.S. left behind over $80M in arms & military ordinances & EVERY command officer received a promotion; no officer was disciplined in any manner. Prior to the invasion by Russia, the U.S. military had credible evidence that it was going to happen. At that time the Ukranian army was begging for air planes of any type. The U.S. Airforce, in that same period, sent over 2,000+ planes, fully operational, of all kinds to be grounded / retired in the desert. Where they remain today, wasted. Coming to drones in the near future will be ones with facial recognition attached, where one drone could be sent to hit one specific individual based on facial information contained in that drone.

I see this brought up from time to time.

You aren't punished for losing your rifle because of the financial impact to the country...

Also always interesting to see this dude's name invoked by the Muh Chyna crowd.

if someone keeps wifi and laptops the phone is redundant.

Prince would be a good DNI choice.

Prince's comment about a soldier losing his rifle had nothing to do with money. He mentioned the $80M amount just to lay out the disparity.

only DBuckeye could view Prince's viewpoints as the 'muh Chynah crowd"

his face is on the side of douchebag boxes. Ignore him.

Do you know anything about Prince?

He's exactly the type of dude you people would typically whine about...but, hey, he says some stuff you like.

Sounds fricking familiar...

80Million in arms, plus a rare mineral mining site.

I posted the article that China was there with the taliban as their bitch, mining the minerals. It has also been reported that the Afghanistan hardware, arms was backchannelled to Iran.

Has Kirby at the Pentagon made a statement on where all of the billions left behind in Afghanistan went? Did Milley buy an island or go to a def contractor position?

oh here we go. didn't you say Assange and Snowden were bad guys? Or was it just Snowden?

A Navy SEAL nerd that is educated on military and general history and independently very wealthy, that isn't hard on the eyes whatsoever...

What could you possibly say bad about him? That HRC railroaded him via the State Dept because his sister was in Trump's cabinet? That he is selling secure sat phones?

Did he pee in your wheaties while you were lion hunting?

Can't wait to hear you bash a Navy SEAL. Your viewpoint is so highly valued over all the interwebs and this forum. Please do tell us.

Snowden is a traitor to this country.

He had no problem taking what he learned working with JSOC and the CIA, and handing it over to China.

That is something you made up in your head. That is a very serious accusation.

If it were remotely true he would be in Leavenworth because the DC uniparty despises him.

Erik Prince sells America out to Chinese intelligence

He was investigated by DOJ and eventually left FSG.

But hey, the dude spent a couple years as a SEAL officer doing nothing but training, so let's ignore everything else...

You fricking people crack me up. You have no problem running down the service of people like McCain and Crenshaw who actually did some shite, but will prop up this fricking guy.

Erik Prince has also been accused of passing Russian info and communications to the Trump campaign. It could easily be stated that the Nuland/HRC State Dept has it in for him because he may spoil their color revolutions.

Your mentioning Crenshaw and McCain depicts the raw hate of politics into this subject. Your opinion about Snowden is also a political joke.

As I said Prince would be in Leavenworth if it were true. Do you trust the current DOJ and FBI? Would they leak false info to the MSM to disparage and accuse someone falsely? SEE: Trump.

Tell us how honorable Crenshaw and McCain are in 500 words or less.
