GUNS: Taking all the gun away from the people in the USA — not very likely

Thursday, November 17, 2022

https://www.quora.com/Why-cant-we-create-an-agency-to-specifically-collect-guns-from-gun-owners-in-America-It-will-consist-of-1000-members-and-will-make-an-announcement-for-every-house-It-will-ask-the-owners-to-come-out-with-their-hands/answer/Ferdinand-Reinke?prompt_topic_bio=1

FROM QUORA, by a troll, obviously looking for clicks

*** begin quote ***

Why can’t we create an agency to specifically collect guns from gun owners in America? It will consist of 1000 members and will make an announcement for every house. It will ask the owners to come out with their hands up if there’s any hesitation.

*** end quote ***

Just out of curiosity, where do the families of these 1000 Gun Confiscation agents live? Do you think they will survive. Read that novel “Unintended Consequences” by John Ross (if you can find and afford a copy). A cadre can start taking out family members and see how long any agency lasts.

I think the reason that the powers that be want this book scarce is that it gives a “how to manual” for how to defeat the US big Gooferment. Killing by random unconnected patriots in a decentralized fashion would make Viet Nam or Afghanistan look like a cake walk. Never mind all the gun owners; how about all the other patriots. Talk about real ugly real fast. Once people have nothing to live for, it can get real dangerous for the ruling class real fast.

“There are no dangerous weapons; there are only dangerous men.” — character Sergeant Charles Zim in Starship Troopers, a book Robert A. Heinlein, author

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . .” — Alexander Solzhenitsyn

POLITICAL: Picking “legislators” by lottery — couldn’t be any worse?

Wednesday, November 16, 2022

The Case for Abolishing Elections
They may seem the cornerstone of democracy, but in reality they do little to promote it. There’s a far better way to empower ordinary citizens: democracy by lottery.
Nicholas Coccoma

*** begin quote ***

Why lotteries and not voting? The Athenians weren’t fools; they learned through bitter trials that elections are tools of elites. Having seen the Athenian experiment himself, Aristotle noted as much. “The appointment of magistrates by lot is democratical,” he observes in Politics, “and the election is oligarchical.” Lotteries go straight to everyday people and bring them into power; they circumvent the designs of aristocrats, resist corruption, and don’t favor one group of citizens over another.

*** end quote ***

I think that we should pick US Senators the osd fashioned way by eliminating the Seventeeth Amendments.  And US House Reps by a random drawing like the Lotto.  Everyone who’s willing can get one ticket and, if they win, they get a small salary to represent the district; one term limit for sure, then they return to their real life.

It couldn’t possibly be any worse than what we have now.

I’d like the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee to have a lower house selected by a random draw from the general population and an upper house selected by a random draw from only taxpayers.

Like any of this could happen!

POLITICAL: In fact, no one know what the vote truly was!

Tuesday, November 15, 2022

https://www.dailysignal.com/2022/11/10/4-keys-to-understanding-why-this-arizona-county-still-has-election-problems/?utm_source=TDS_Email

*** begin quote ***

Though affirming Biden’s 2020 win in the county, the 2021 state Senate audit found:23,344 “mail-in ballots voted from a prior address.”9,041 “more ballots [were] returned by voters than [were]  received.” 5,295 “voters [who] potentially voted in multiple counties.”  2,592 “more duplicates than original ballots.” 2,382 “in-person voters who had moved out of Maricopa County.” The audit also showed that 5,295 voters “potentially voted in multiple counties.”

*** end quote ***

I don’t understand how the media, politicians, and bureaucrats can say it wasn’t stolen.  If fact they have no #$%^^ idea what the truth is.

Argh!

And this is just one AZ county.  It’s probably the same nation wide.

TINFOILHAT: Is this sunken the submarine used by Hitler to escape to Argentina? It’s certainly “Possible”.

Was this sunken submarine used by Hitler to escape to Argentina? Wreck rumoured to have smuggled the Fuhrer to South America could be Nazi U-boat, expert says

  • New images have emerged of a shipwreck rumoured to have helped Hitler escape to Argentina – and experts now say it could be a real Nazi submarine
  • The wreck was discovered near Quequén, a port in central Argentina, by group
  • Experts say it could be a German U-Boat after analysing new pictures of wreck

New images have emerged of a shipwreck rumoured to have helped Hitler escape to Argentina – and experts now say it could be a real Nazi submarine.

The 262ft-long wreck was discovered near Quequén, a port in central Argentina, by the Eslabón Perdido (Missing Link) research group.

Group leader Abel Basti believes it was a Nazi submarine that could have smuggled Hitler to South America.

*** and ***

Declassified FBI documents also include one 1945 account of Hitler reaching Argentina by U-boat, but that was at the Valdes Peninsula – some 400 miles south of the newly-found wreckage.

*** end quote ***

It’s like every five years or so, something is uncovered that reignites the question.

It certainly seems “5. Possible” that this is a valid “Historical” conspiracy theory.

I’m not sure that “We, The Sheeple” will ever know on this side of the grave what the truth is.

I guess if one could find a body then DNA could be used. Or maybe there are fingerprints on that sub?

But if the “Elite” don’t already “know”, that probably have no interest in exposing any other “dirty little secrets” (i.e., the Russian and Americans hustled German rocket scientist “home” without regard to war crimes).  We know that Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy. So I’l just keep watching this topic for more “disclosures.

Argh!

POLITICAL: Let’s go back top p[aper ballots!

Sunday, November 13, 2022

https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/proposed-the-optional-end-to-the?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=676930&post_id=82813969&isFreemail=true&utm_medium=email

Proposed: The [Optional] End to the Secret Ballot
Is the Traditional Secret Ballot — In Digital-Black-Hole Voting Systems — Dangerously Out of Date?
Dr Naomi Wolf
Nov 7

*** begin quote ***

New voting machines that produce a paper ballot for each vote cast make it possible for election officials to conduct post-election audits. Approximately half of all states and the District of Columbia conduct post-election audits, which require a review of paper ballots to check the accuracy of the votes cast. With partisan actors fueled by the Big Lie conducting partisan reviews that undermine confidence in our elections, it is becoming increasingly important for qualified election officials to conduct legitimate audits of their own […]” [https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/voting-machines-risk-2022#footnote1_tstxxlf]

You don’t have to believe that it is “partisan” to demand a verified paper trail for every election, to want a better assurance that your vote will be properly counted, than — the nothing at all you get when think that you have made your choice, and when you walk away from a “DRE” without a “VVPAT”.

*** and ***

It may well be that millions of Americans will “shout” their choices publicly by posting a public image of their vote on a public platform; maybe not; but again, the fact that there will be independent verification, whether it is of public or private archives, or a mixture that is up to the choice of the citizens, will chill the plans of voting-day evildoers.

Then in time, God willing, we will all go back to paper. With receipts.

And yes, O elites, we’ll go back to doing our vote counting the way it has been done for most of our nation’s history: not with “experts” and “officials” alone counting the vote, not with corrupted media prematurely announcing the winner — but rather with citizens counting the verifiable votes — yes;

Down to the

Very.

Last.

One.

*** end quote ***

I don’t trust any “computer system” to be “honest”.  

So let’s get back to paper.

I have no problem with a digital device that prepares ballot that is readable by the human being.

Given that scanners can OCR stuff with high precision that can speed the process.  

Add voter id and “Election Day” (I,e,: not election month).

The system should be verifiably trustworthy.

It ain’t now!

MONEY: The coming default by the US FED / Treasury?

Saturday, November 12, 2022

Are You Ready For The Coming US Government Default?
by Tyler Durden
Monday, Nov 07, 2022 – 07:20 AM

Authored by MN Gordon via EconomicPrism.com,

*** begin quote ***

The vast herd of investors are a deluded crowd. Following the Federal Reserve’s much anticipated 75 basis point rate hike on Wednesday the major stock market indexes jumped upward.

Optimistic investors keyed in on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement and, in particular, the remark that the Fed, “will take into account the cumulative tightening of monetary policy, the lags with which monetary policy affects economic activity and inflation and economic and financial developments.”

*** and ***

In other words, this bear market may not bottom out until well into 2025. What’s more, the entire dollar based financial system will likely blow up sometime beforehand.

*** and ***

But many won’t recognize heavy handed monetary policy as reasons for their disappointment. The erosion of purchasing power can be subtle over long periods. Moreover, the effects of currency debasement policies extend to all corners of the economy.

*** end quote ***

Depends upon how you define default. What happens when no one wants to buy US Treasuries?

It’s going to be ugly. As the interest rate goes up, more of the Federal budget should go to interest on the debt. If they don’t cut, then more dollar printing.

A vicious cycle.

Sigh!

But what will be the form of it? Us tin foil hats are trying to guess will they just: “print”, “default on the bonds (i.e., tough <synonym for excrement> you suckers)”, or something involving a FED version of mandatory bitcoin (i.e., cash is recalled just like gold was)?

And, then what will the sheeple do?

VETERANS: The Gooferment allows “Churches” that support the welfare / warfare state

Another Double Whammy
By Laurence M. Vance
November 3, 2022

*** begin quote ***

If you have the misfortune of attending the typical conservative, evangelical, or fundamentalist church on a Sunday before a military appreciation day (Memorial Day, Independence Day, Veterans Day), you will see the church building and the grounds around the church decorated with American flags, hear special prayers offered for the troops, see military personnel and veterans recognized (especially if they wear their uniforms to church), read the church bulletin with an American flag on the cover, see men wearing cross and flag lapel pins, hear hymns of worship sung to the state, hear the choir singing a medley of patriotic songs, see video tributes to the troops, and hear the pianist play the song of each branch of the military during the offering.

But now, this Sunday, since it is also the Sunday before election day, you can expect to see and hear extra American flags adorning the church and grounds, admonitions to pray for America and government officials, a military color guard parading down the main aisle of the church to open the service, pastors reading the Declaration of Independence, pastors leading the congregation in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, men wearing American flag ties, local politicians in attendance (only Republicans, of course) being introduced and sometimes asked to come up and say a few words, and/or a military chaplain from the local base delivering the sermon.

Some churches will no doubt also sing Lee Greenwood’s patriotic anthem “God Bless the USA,” and they will sing it proudly because they are proud to be Americans where at least they know they’re free. (I can just picture Christians singing this in church in 2020 or 2021 with a mask on their face.)

*** end quote ***

In my “eddycation”, I always thought that the Church was a “Champion of the People” against the King in the Middle Ages.  I think that in Lincoln’s “Civil War” (aka the war of northern aggression) that line was blurred.  That trend continued into WW1 when the Churches aligned themselves with the Gooferment.  Fast forward to the Viet Nam war when the Churches were big in the (Astroturf) antiwar movement against Nixon. LBJ just stepped into it.  At that point, the Deep State began to subvert the Church goers with a deliberate policy of eroding moral values.  Pedophilia in the Catholic Church took them out of education business.  And here we wind up with the various Churches supporting the “military”.   The Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats could care less about the troops or veterans.  Look at the MIA as an example.  So I think the writer is on to something.

Let’s separate Church and State!

SECURITY: BBC reporter creates fake Americans.

Thursday, November 10, 2022

BBC tries to understand politics by creating fake Americans
By DAVID BAUDER — November 1, 2022

*** begin quote ***

NEW YORK (AP) — Larry, a 71-year-old retired insurance broker and Donald Trump fan from Alabama, wouldn’t be likely to run into the liberal Emma, a 25-year-old graphic designer from New York City, on social media — even if they were both real.

Each is a figment of BBC reporter Marianna Spring’s imagination. She created five fake Americans and opened social media accounts for them, part of an attempt to illustrate how disinformation spreads on sites like Facebook, Twitter and TikTok despite efforts to stop it, and how that impacts American politics.

That’s also left Spring and the BBC vulnerable to charges that the project is ethically suspect in using false information to uncover false information.

“We’re doing it with very good intentions because it’s important to understand what is going on,” Spring said. In the world of disinformation, “the U.S. is the key battleground,” she said.

*** end quote ***

This is easily prevented by requiring a credit card and charging for access.  Elon’s 8$/month will do more to eliminate, or down grade bots, than can be imagined.

The fee would eliminate fakes PDQ.  Surprising that no one mentions it in the article.

Of course, there’s no way to comment on the site, because they are just interested in attracting eyeballs.

PEACE: Ethiopia’s Tigray truce — always a good thing

Wednesday, November 9, 2022

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-63490546

Ethiopia’s Tigray conflict: Truce agreed

  • Redwan Hussien Rameto (L) from the Ethiopian government, and Getachew Reda (R), who represents Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), shook hands on the deal.

By Cecilia Macaulay & Anne Soy
BBC News

*** begin quote ***

Tigray Truce

Ethiopian officials and representatives from the country’s northern Tigray region agreed to a truce yesterday, suspending a bloody civil war that included accusations of war crimes, genocide, and attacks against international aid workers. The deal came one day ahead of the two-year anniversary of the conflict.

Governed by the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, Tigray accounts for just 6% of Ethiopia’s population but has historically enjoyed outsized influence among the country’s many ethnic groups (see 101). The rise of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed in 2018 led to a shift toward nationalized politics and away from regional blocs of power, triggering tensions with Tigrayan leaders that spiraled into open conflict in 2020.

Some estimates place the death toll from the conflict near 500,000, with more than 5 million residents displaced and hundreds of thousands of civilians succumbing to famine.

*** end quote ***

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” (Matthew 5:9, NIV).

Now let’s send the brokers to Ukraine and Russia.
