Written by Frank M. Lin on August 16th 2022 2:23am @ Shilin, Taipei, Taiwan – Military Intelligence is probably the most important branch of the government. American intelligence has always been among the best in the world. I’m not just talking about FBI and CIA, or even NSA. The actual branch of the military might even be better. This is all my speculation of course, since I have never served in USA. The reason I say that is because military decisions can only be made correctly with factual intelligence. In any case, this interview is REALLY good. I highly recommended it.
I’ve only begun to listen to this 2017 LP Album in the past couple of weeks. I’ve never heard the entire album before. The only track I knew was One More Light which was the title track, and is my favorite on the album. However after listening to the entire album for a bit… Battle Symphony has rise to second place. Actually I think I like it as much as One More Light.
When you read every word of the lyrics for Battle Symphony, it is so deep. Hits me really hard. Although I’ve had a easy life materialistically, there are many battles I have had to face. Many times alone. So this lyrics speaks to me profoundly. Mustering up courage to face the challenges. My armor breaks from the attack? No problem, I’ll just fuse it back together. FUCK YEAH. I love it. That hug at the end though. I need a ride or die chick like that. Where are you my love? I’ve been searching for you…
Battle Symphony – Linkin Park 2017 Album – One More Light
I got a long way to go
And a long memory
I’ve been searching for an answer
Always just out of reach
Blood on the floor
Sirens repeat
I’ve been searching for the courage
To face my enemies
When they turn down the lights
I hear my battle symphony
All the world in front of me
If my armor breaks
I’ll fuse it back together
Battle symphony
Please just don’t give up on me
And my eyes are wide awake
For my battle symphony
For my battle symphony
They say that I don’t belong
Say that I should retreat
That I’m marching to the rhythm
Of a lonesome defeat
But the sound of your voice
Puts the pain in reverse
No surrender, no illusions
And for better or worse
When they turn down the lights
I hear my battle symphony
All the world in front of me
If my armor breaks
I’ll fuse it back together
Battle symphony
Please just don’t give up on me
And my eyes are wide awake
If I fall, get knocked down
Pick myself up off the ground
If I fall, get knocked down
Pick myself up off the ground
When they turn down the lights
I hear my battle symphony
All the world in front of me
If my armor breaks
I’ll fuse it back together
Battle symphony
Please just don’t give up on me
And my eyes are wide awake
For my battle symphony
For my battle symphony
PSA: 1000% HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by me to all who come across this post. MAKE THIS VIDEO VIRAL. Such a great informative discussion it deserves all the audience it can get.
It’s quite refreshing to hear from intelligent, well educated Black men carrying serious conversations without victimhood mentality. I have enjoyed this episode tremendously.
Glenn Loury, Ian Rowe, and Robert Woodson all need to be in leadership roles big time. I hope they get into politics to lead their people.

Hmm, super interesting visuals. Some say this vid is to brain wash people into further compliance… however I think it might just be a reflection of how the past 3 years the big gov tried to force mandatory compliance on all of us. At first listen the music SUCKS. but the visuals is incredible. Take a look and tell me what you guys think….

Randomly came across this channel call Riss Flex. She appears to be an independent journalist. She is excellent based on a handful of videos I’ve seen so far. I high recommended. Since her videos are usually dense and long, I’ll keep this VOTD to just 2 videos.
Written by Frank M. Lin July 18th, 2022 10:15am @ Shilin home, Taipei, Taiwan – I’ve really enjoyed Bourdain’s work. He is insightful, and is down to earth. The world lost a good guy. Personally I love Mexicans. I love their food, fun loving culture. Mexican chicks are hot AF, especially before age 25. What’s not to like? 🙂
On Mexicans, Anthony Bourdain wrote this:
Americans love Mexican food. We consume nachos, tacos, burritos, tortas, enchiladas, tamales and anything resembling Mexican in enormous quantities.
We love Mexican beverages, happily knocking back huge amounts of tequila, mezcal, and Mexican beer every year. We love Mexican people—we sure employ a lot of them.
Despite our ridiculously hypocritical attitudes towards immigration, we demand that Mexicans cook a large percentage of the food we eat, grow the ingredients we need to make that food, clean our houses, mow our lawns, wash our dishes, and look after our children.
As any chef will tell you, our entire service economy—the restaurant business as we know it—in most American cities, would collapse overnight without Mexican workers. Some, of course, like to claim that Mexicans are “stealing American jobs.”
But in two decades as a chef and employer, I never had ONE American kid walk in my door and apply for a dishwashing job, a porter’s position—or even a job as a prep cook. Mexicans do much of the work in this country that Americans, probably, simply won’t do.
We love Mexican drugs. Maybe not you personally, but “we”, as a nation, certainly consume titanic amounts of them—and go to extraordinary lengths and expense to acquire them. We love Mexican music, Mexican beaches, Mexican architecture, interior design, Mexican films.
So, why don’t we love Mexico?
We throw up our hands and shrug at what happens and what is happening just across the border. Maybe we are embarrassed. Mexico, after all, has always been there for us, to service our darkest needs and desires.
Whether it’s dress up like fools and get passed-out drunk and sunburned on spring break in Cancun, throw pesos at strippers in Tijuana, or get toasted on Mexican drugs, we are seldom on our best behavior in Mexico. They have seen many of us at our worst. They know our darkest desires.
In the service of our appetites, we spend billions and billions of dollars each year on Mexican drugs—while at the same time spending billions and billions more trying to prevent those drugs from reaching us.
The effect on our society is everywhere to be seen. Whether it’s kids nodding off and overdosing in small town Vermont, gang violence in L.A., burned out neighborhoods in Detroit—it’s there to see.
What we don’t see, however, haven’t really noticed, and don’t seem to much care about, is the 80,000 dead in Mexico, just in the past few years—mostly innocent victims. Eighty thousand families who’ve been touched directly by the so-called “War On Drugs”.
Mexico. Our brother from another mother. A country, with whom, like it or not, we are inexorably, deeply involved, in a close but often uncomfortable embrace.
Look at it. It’s beautiful. It has some of the most ravishingly beautiful beaches on earth. Mountains, desert, jungle. Beautiful colonial architecture, a tragic, elegant, violent, ludicrous, heroic, lamentable, heartbreaking history. Mexican wine country rivals Tuscany for gorgeousness.
Its archeological sites—the remnants of great empires, unrivaled anywhere. And as much as we think we know and love it, we have barely scratched the surface of what Mexican food really is. It is NOT melted cheese over tortilla chips. It is not simple, or easy. It is not simply “bro food” at halftime.
It is in fact, old—older even than the great cuisines of Europe, and often deeply complex, refined, subtle, and sophisticated. A true mole sauce, for instance, can take DAYS to make, a balance of freshly (always fresh) ingredients painstakingly prepared by hand. It could be, should be, one of the most exciting cuisines on the planet, if we paid attention.
The old school cooks of Oaxaca make some of the more difficult and nuanced sauces in gastronomy. And some of the new generation—many of whom have trained in the kitchens of America and Europe—have returned home to take Mexican food to new and thrilling heights.
It’s a country I feel particularly attached to and grateful for. In nearly 30 years of cooking professionally, just about every time I walked into a new kitchen, it was a Mexican guy who looked after me, had my back, showed me what was what, and was there—and on the case—when the cooks like me, with backgrounds like mine, ran away to go skiing or surfing or simply flaked. I have been fortunate to track where some of those cooks come from, to go back home with them.
To small towns populated mostly by women—where in the evening, families gather at the town’s phone kiosk, waiting for calls from their husbands, sons and brothers who have left to work in our kitchens in the cities of the North.
I have been fortunate enough to see where that affinity for cooking comes from, to experience moms and grandmothers preparing many delicious things, with pride and real love, passing that food made by hand from their hands to mine.
In years of making television in Mexico, it’s one of the places we, as a crew, are happiest when the day’s work is over. We’ll gather around a street stall and order soft tacos with fresh, bright, delicious salsas, drink cold Mexican beer, sip smoky mezcals, and listen with moist eyes to sentimental songs from street musicians. We will look around and remark, for the hundredth time, what an extraordinary place this is.
Written by Frank M. Lin June 12th, 2019 @ Miao-li, Taiwan – Trade war has been going on for months now. I’m not impressed with how Trump has handle it. He is acting like a bully.

Written by Frank M. Lin on July 16th, 2022 5:59 am @ Tong-Xiao, Miao-li, Taiwan – Essentially my Good Guys List of 2022. These folks and institutions are invaluable. These are among the best minds with courageous and correct thinking. They thinking, speak, and do the “right” things. HEROS in my book.
Jordan Peterson. One of my favorite modern philosopher, thinker, speaker. One thing I have to thank the crazy left is for them to shed light on amazing people like Mr. Peterson. I also highly recommend the Hoover Institute, and if you can stand the jargons, James Lindsey’s New Discourses. One of the things I got to do in the past 3 years is to learn a great deal about how the left came about, how they operate, and why things are the way it is currently. The days of the left is numbered because the result of their “ruling” of the modern west is CLEARLY damaging. No sane or center (non-political people) people can stand them anymore… Antifa, BLM, 3rd wave feminism, even the anti-death league, climate change BS, and all that, gets exposed one by one. The truth always prevail in the end.
喬丹·彼得森。 我最喜歡的現代哲學家、思想家、演說家之一。 我要感謝瘋狂的左派的一件事是讓他們了解像彼得森先生這樣了不起的人。 我也強烈推薦胡佛研究所，如果你能聽懂行話，詹姆斯林賽的新話語。 在過去的 3 年裡，我要做的一件事就是大量了解左派是如何產生的、他們是如何運作的，以及為什麼會變成現在這樣。 左派的日子屈指可數，因為他們“統治”現代西方的結果顯然具有破壞性。 沒有理智或中心（非政治人士）的人可以忍受他們了……Antifa，BLM，第三波女權主義，甚至是反死亡聯盟，氣候變化BS等等，都被一一暴露了。 真相總是最終佔上風。
Hoover Institute is part Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. Stanford is ONE of the BEST University on the planet. They have great scholars and researchers. The campus is also amazing… Sometimes I wish I was more serious in my youth and gone to places like MIT, Caltech, UCB, or Stanford. 🙂 I would’ve made my family very proud. But it’s okay, my path is long and convoluted but I’ve enjoy every bit of it. I love my life.
“I actually think that this woke movement is evil. It plays on peoples best nature. It takes good people and twists them to its purpose.” – James Lindsey on Joe Rogan Experience, 2020
James’s actual channel contain basically academia type of deep research. It’s sometimes very hard to listen to… But he is a serious dude. I only recommend his channel if you got time to spare or if you truly want to understand the history of the left…
James O’Keefe of Project Veritas also made my Good Guys List. They are absolutely beasts and does great actual journalism.
Written by Frank M. Lin on July 10th, 2022 1:59pm @ Shilin Home, Taipei, Taiwan – I haven’t done a Videos of The Day blog entry in years. I think it’s time for a good one.
This angle of the eruption really does like a burning phoenix doesn’t it? Phoenix Rising.
First we have awesome footages from the eruption… It’s just beautiful and stunning, especially the night shots.
Truly EPIC FPV drone flight. Siiick.
Take on January 2022. Very well made… ENJOY.
Written by Frank M. Lin on July 7th, 2022 @ Taipei, Taiwan – The farmers tell you why. I’ve heard about food shortages for at least a year. This video explains why. Most people have no idea how America’s food supply chain works. This video will give you some understand of why foot shortages will happen. Preppers were laughed at for years about being ready for such situation… this is your final warning. Be prepared for hard times ahead. Inflation and these mis-managements is hurting USA. I have no doubt we’ll come through eventually but it won’t be easy. Better study up and learn how this world works.
Biden and Harris are USELESS. They blame everyone else… this is the WORST administration I’ve seen probably in my life time Kamala is absolutely WORTHLESS. She got her career boosted by sleeping with that old Black Grandpa Brown. Ever since then, she didn’t do anything worthwhile. She sucked as the DA, her policies were terrible. She kept on getting elected by playing the “black woman” card, not on merit. Everything I’ve said you can look up. She has a really bad track record.
Joe Biden, creepy Joe, need I said more. His own daughter write in her own diary that Joe did inappropriate things to her when she was young and that made her feel really uncomfortable. We can only guess what he did but it WASN’T RIGHT. Hunter Biden’s laptime, exposed all the crap the Hunter is into. Drugs, hoookers, girls, being butt naked around his niece, the bad list just goes on and on. DemaRats accused Trump of Ukraine connection. But it’s all projection. Just about EVERYTHING DemRats accused Conservatives of doing, they did it themselves. Total HYPOCRITS. That’s why I can’t stand them any longer.
