A Harvard psychologist turned countercultural icon, Leary helped bring psychedelics out of clinical & intellectual circles and into mainstream American consciousness. He also helped turn them into a media spectacle, accelerating...

🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸 Bruce Crandall kept turning his helicopter back toward the gunfire. It was November 14, 1965, in the la Drang Valley, Vietnam. American soldiers were surrounded and outnumbered. Enemy fire was so intense that medical evacuation helicopters refused to land. Wounded men were bleeding out on the battlefield. Crandall did not accept that. Born on February 17, 1933, in Olympia, Washington, he was a 32 year old Army major commanding an air cavalry unit. When he learned that injured soldiers were trapped without ammunition or medical support, he made a decision that could cost him everything. He flew into the landing zone. Not once. 22 times. Each time, bullets ripped through the air. His helicopter was hit repeatedly. The landing zone was barely secure. Soldiers dove for cover as he touched down. He delivered ammunition. He loaded the wounded. He lifted off again into enemy fire. Other pilots refused to fly. Crandall kept going. By the end of the day, dozens of soldiers were evacuated because he refused to leave them behind. Many later said they would have died without those flights. For his actions, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. It was later upgraded to the Medal of Honor in 2007, 42 years after the battle. He had already retired as a colonel. For decades, few outside military circles knew his name. He once flew straight into overwhelming fire 22 times so others could live. Recognition came nearly half a century later.

This is real gun camera footage from a P-51 Mustang, chasing a German Bf 109 down to the treetops until it goes down in flames. The American pilot flying it, Lt John Kirla, shot down five enemy planes in a single day, becoming an ace in one mission. This footage captures one of his victories over a Bf 109. This is his story.. From Trainee to the Yoxford Boys John Kirla was not a born fighter ace. He was an ordinary young American who had come up through flight training in Texas, graduating at the start of 1944. He learned his trade on trainers, moved up to fighters, and got just 15 hours in the P-51 Mustang before being sent to England as a replacement pilot. He joined the 362nd Fighter Squadron of the 357th Fighter Group, a unit based at Leiston that was already becoming a legend. The 357th was the first group in the Eighth Air Force fully equipped with the Mustang, and it would go on to produce more aces than any other fighter group in the Eighth, including Chuck Yeager and Bud Anderson. Kirla was the newest pilot in a squadron already filled with experienced aces. His job was to escort American bombers deep into Germany and protect them from the Luftwaffe. On November 27 1944, he got the day that would define him. Five Victories in One Mission That morning the 357th ran headlong into a massive swarm of German fighters trying to get at the bombers. Kirla's flight dropped their fuel tanks and dived straight into the middle of it. Almost immediately, the fight became a swirling, low-level brawl of Mustangs, Messerschmitts, and Focke-Wulfs twisting across the sky. Kirla picked out his first target and opened fire, and from that moment he did not stop hunting. In his own account, he spotted a Bf 109 that was attacking an American bomber. He went after it, closed to just 30 yards, and when the German threw his fighter into a tight barrel roll straight down toward the ground, Kirla stayed glued to his tail and, in his words, clobbered him all over until he went down. An Ace in a Day He kept finding more. Again and again through that wild, sprawling fight, Kirla latched onto an enemy aircraft and did not let go. At one point he watched a German fighter shoot down one of his fellow Mustang pilots right in front of him, and closed in for revenge. As he described it afterward, he opened fire, saw pieces start to fly off the enemy aircraft, and watched it fall out of the sky like a leaf drifting to the ground. Rather than breaking away and climbing back to safety, Kirla chased his targets down low, following them almost to the ground, the fighters weaving over villages and treetops until the enemy aircraft finally went down. By the time the fight was over, John Kirla had shot down five German aircraft in a single mission. He had become an ace in a day, one of the relatively few American fighter pilots to achieve that in a single mission. The Mustang That Changed the Air War The Mustang was the aircraft that made days like Kirla's possible. The P-51 combined long range, high speed, and deadly firepower, and it could follow the bombers all the way to their targets and fight the German fighters on equal or better terms. By the end of the war, P-51 groups had claimed close to 5,000 enemy aircraft shot down, about half of all American air-to-air kills in the European theater. Kirla's own group, the 357th, became the top-scoring Mustang group in the Eighth Air Force. Flying one of the finest escort fighters of the war, men like Kirla helped turn the tide of the air war over Germany. The gun-camera film rolling every time he pressed the trigger captured it all, including the footage you are watching. John Kirla's Legacy John Kirla flew on to the end of his combat tour and finished the war as a double ace, credited with 11 and a half enemy aircraft destroyed in the air. He was awarded the Silver Star and the Distinguished Flying Cross for his courage in the skies over Europe. He had gone from a trainee with a handful of hours in a Mustang to one of the deadliest fighter pilots in one of the deadliest fighter groups of the war, in the span of a single year. The footage of his Mustang chasing a Bf 109 down to the trees is only a few seconds long. But behind those few seconds is a young American who climbed into a fighter, dove into a swarm of the enemy, and shot down five of them before the day was out. This was the story of John Kirla. I post a story like this every single day. Most people never see them. Follow so you don't miss the next one.

Philip Mulryne once had the life many young men dream of. He was a professional footballer who played for Manchester United, Norwich City, and the Northern Ireland national team, earning 27 international caps. At the height of his career, he was reportedly earning around half a million pounds per year. After leaving football in 2008, he officially retired in 2009 and began formation for the Catholic priesthood. Mulryne later explained that football had given him privilege, comfort, and success, but not the peace he expected. He said he was shocked to realize that, even with the kind of life many young men desire, there was still a deep emptiness beneath it. That search led him back to the faith. In 2009, he entered Saint Malachy’s Seminary in Belfast. He studied philosophy at Queen’s University Belfast and theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. In 2012, he entered the Dominican Order. On July 8, 2017, Philip Mulryne was ordained a Catholic priest at St Saviour’s in Dublin. At his ordination, Archbishop Di Noia connected his life as an athlete to his priestly vocation, saying that his experience in football had helped prepare him for the priesthood because he already understood discipline, sacrifice, and working toward a goal. Now, that goal was Christ. Philip Mulryne left behind professional football, money, and public success to serve God as a priest. A life that once revolved around the pitch became a life offered at the altar.

▶️ Do you remember the story of the Iranian firefighter who saved lives during the January massacre? His name was Hamid Mahdavi. He had an Instagram page where he mostly posted funny videos (hamidmahdavi1987). On January 8, he, too, took to the streets of Iran to protest against the regime. While the regime deployed military equipment and stationed snipers on bridges and rooftops to kill as many people as possible, Hamid became an eternal hero. Again and again, he ran back into the crowd, lifted wounded protesters onto his back, carried them out of the line of fire, and ran back for more. The video of him went viral. His life ended there. He, too, was shot and killed while trying to save his fellow Iranians. The image of his heroic act is my profile banner. More than 40,000 people were massacred in those two days. Every single one of them was a life, a story, a family, and friends left behind to grieve. An entire world was erased with each of them. Now J.D. Vance is shaking hands with their murderers and wants to give them access to $300 billion - as if rewarding them for the massacre they carried out. Spill enough blood, and the Woke Right will reward you with a lot of money and political legitimacy. At the same time, Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz is using fake polls and conspiracy theories to silence every criticism of the deal. He has no arguments. Instead, he attacks individuals, going so far as to label people "Israeli bots" without evidence or even inventing CP allegations against them. The lengths he is willing to go to in order to protect this deal know no limits. His methods are just as dirty as the regime's. After all, the regime itself labels the opposition as Mossad agents to justify the massacre and the executions that take place every day. In 2022, Bruesewitz himself opposed a new deal. Today, he is one of its strongest supporters. What happened? What changed? Hamid and more than 40,000 others did not die for a deal that would enrich the regime on a scale never seen before. The JCPOA gave the regime only about one-sixth of what the J.D.POA would. No one at the negotiating table is thinking about Hamid or any other Iranian. The people of Iran are invisible in this deal - irrelevant, erased, treated as an inconvenience to be ignored. This time, they are being ignored, silenced, and oppressed not only by the Islamic Republic, but also by Vance and his team. We cannot let them be forgotten. They died once. Erasing their sacrifice and enriching their murderers means killing them a second time.
