The New Year of Task Organization: Telegram Changes on the Horizon

Topic: Elections

In late 2009, I received word my brigade would be deploying to Afghanistan in mid-2010, a very short turnaround for a unit that had just returned from Iraq months before as I was arriving at Fort Hood from training.  At the time, I was the assistant intelligence officer (S-2) of an attack aviation battalion, outfitted with lethal AH-64D gunships.  Thanks to a personnel shortage in a sister battalion, with only two months to go until deployment, I received a lateral transfer and found myself the de facto primary S-2 of a new unit, which would last for three months until the personnel issues were resolved.  This new unit was organized for transports and deliberate air assaults, possessing CH-47 Chinooks and UH-60 Blackhawks.

This deployment for the brigade took place in what was known as “The Surge,” an offensive designed to regain the initiative in the fight against the Taliban (or so we were told).  Our brigade covered practically every corner of Afghanistan, even primitive areas Americans had barely sniffed in the entire nine-year history of the war at that point.  The brigade underwent something called task organization, a temporary realignment and fusion of the brigade’s components into specialized units.  My battalion was reorganized as Task Force Comanche, taking on Apache gunships from one of the attack battalions and operating out of Regional Command-West at an abandoned Soviet airfield in Dasht-e Margo – The Desert of Death.

We were uniquely outfitted, with three major airframes, to conduct attack and reconnaissance operations in addition to the standard lift operations, including medical evacuation missions, that occurred in Blackhawk and Chinook units.  Our unit became the go-to unit for deliberate operations, primarily air insertions of multi-national Special Forces troops into remote valleys and crevices, and onto mountainsides.  It was my job to provide targeting analysis to these aircrews, and in many cases, we inflicted substantial damage on the enemy – including Biblical-level payback for an earlier mission gone wrong.  Task organization was critical to meet the needs of the time and to ensure the mission was accomplished.

Social media accounts are like airframes, or weapons systems.  I believe each has its own knack, even though some are redundant platforms.  For instance, SubStack is ideal for me to get long-form items or research entries etched into the record, and a discerning audience snatches those up.  Truth Social is a place to have fun, post memes or event announcements, and share fast-breaking news.  GETTR has many streaming functionalities, and Twitter/X appears to be from the pit of hell and filled with droning lemmings who regurgitate the left-wing lies they are told 24/7 (note: I may deactivate my Twitter/X account for a second time in order to concentrate my efforts more effectively).

Telegram, on the other hand, is a toolbelt with great work potential.  Everyone flocked to it in 2021 when the mass bans began from mainstream social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.  At my high point, my Telegram had more than 157,000 subscribers.  Today, it barely hovers over 100,000.  I believe many have left the platform over the constant drama present there, and its exposure to cyber pirates who prey on chat subscribers to sell them the digital equivalent of Oceanfront Property in Arizona, and I also believe subscriber drops, which every large channel has seen, come from bot accounts being cleaned out of the system.

I have decided, as a means of force multiplication, to task organize my Telegram account into a one-stop shop dedicated to all things 2024 U.S. election.  I am grateful for all who have followed my channel there for the past 2.5 years, and I have met many friends who will be of the lifelong variety.  Despite the pontificating of many who have little to do but gossip, some “influencers” out there didn’t start accounts for notoriety – and I sure as hell don’t intend to suffer a corrupt election system the rest of my life.

I am all in for 2024 and consider it to be the last meaningful election cycle in the foreseeable future.  If you want to see memes and color commentary about all issues, not just elections-related issues, follow me on Truth Social.  I am planning to invest a lot more time here on SubStack in 2024, so I encourage you to download the app and keep up with the “notes” section – which functions a lot like any standard social media application.

I plan to have these changes in place by tomorrow, January 1, 2024.  After tonight, the channel will be entirely focused on the 2024 U.S. Election cycle and Election Integrity specific matters.  It is intended to cross all factional divides and bring attention to needed efforts for everyone in every state to engage with and will immediately be the largest of its kind on the entire platform.

Author’s Note: I am not able to feed every platform known to man, and additionally, I will be on the road for much of 2024 leaving it on the field for November.  Please consider subscribing to this journal for constant updates, and I am asking all of you to play a role in taking power back in this country.
