Children casualties of war, collateral damage is gut-wrenching, heartbreaking; WRONG on all levels! I will stand alongside a Jewish Child’s casket & stand alongside an Arab Child’s casket; same to me!
there is no pain like death of a child to a parent, Jew or Arab, black, white, no matter; Israel must defend itself and must repond to the atrocities but must ensure ONLY wrongdoers punished, not kids

Recently, I’ve noticed that demonstrators and police are covering their faces. Sorry, but that should not be allowed. Didn’t we say that the KKK can’t conceal their identieis? Should be the same for all “secret societies” including the police. People need to be willing to be held accountable for their actions. The Conspiracy Theorists, who are complaining that the J6 participants were Feds, are absolutely correct since why should the Feds be anonymous.
No hiding from “We, The Sheeple”!

When Americans Do the Job Their Police Won’t Do
By John Klar
*** begin quote ***
As former Northfield police chief John Helfant offered in a comment for this article:
If the law isn’t going to protect people then people are going to protect themselves. Criminals should promptly be held accountable by the system or the system is useless. Criminals need to know that there are swift consequences for their actions, like pretrial detention, enforceable curfew conditions, etc. The system worked in the past, and it can work again if the Legislature and the courts would tighten things up.
*** end quote ***
Maybe “We, The Sheeple” are waking up to the chaos being caused in our society by the “liberal” elite.
As we learned from the recent Hamas terrorism, the Second Amendment has the purpose of allowing EACH individual to defend themselves, their families, and their communities.
We ignore this lesson at our own peril!

I fear a full-scale invasion of Gaza by Israel will end in a bloody quagmire. But there is another, better way… writes Colonel TIM COLLINS, drawing on the lessons of Iraq and Northern Ireland
By Colonel Tim Collins For The Daily Mail
Published: 17:23 EDT, 11 October 2023 | Updated: 01:56 EDT, 12 October 2023
*** begin quote ***
The overthrow of Hamas by Fatah, backed by Israel, would be a step forward for democracy in Palestine – and would isolate the theocratic Iranian regime which has long bankrolled and armed Hamas.
Israel should not play into Iran’s hands. And as an Irishman, I know why.
In 1972, soon after the Troubles had been rekindled, support for the IRA soared after the Bloody Sunday massacre, when British paratroopers opened fire on a Catholic protest march through the city of Derry. Fourteen innocent people were killed and there was to be no peace in the province for another three decades.
The decision is Israel’s. Do they, in a spasm of vengeance, unleash a flood of Bloody Sundays in Gaza? Or could they, dare they, act with reason and mercy?
*** end quote ***
While as satisfying as killing every Hamas in Gaza might feel, there has to be some wisdom in the long term effects.
The idea of targeted reprisals has the merit of not repeating the lessons of Ireland.
Plus, the Hamas leadership safely in sympathetic countries needs to be targeted. As well as anyone who gives them aid and comfort. Time for Israel to turn loose their Mossad with “license to kill”.
Marque and Reprisal is a very underused tactic.

Israel-Gaza Conflict
Israel announced a full siege of the Gaza Strip yesterday as the conflict between the two regions entered a third day, with Israel drafting 300,000 reservists and cutting off food, electricity, and fuel to the Gaza Strip, which was already under a 16-year blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt. Israel’s full blockade comes after Hamas, which runs Gaza internally, took at least 150 civilians and soldiers hostage following a wide-ranging surprise attack on Israel over the weekend (see previous write-up).
Hamas has threatened to execute an Israeli hostage each time an airstrike hits civilian homes in Gaza without warning. The US and the EU designate Hamas as a terrorist group due to its history of armed opposition against Israel (see overview). At least 900 people have died so far in Israel, including at least 11 Americans, and at least 687 Palestinians have died in Gaza. More than 6,000 have been injured from both sides since Saturday.
Israel also exchanged fire yesterday with neighboring Lebanon’s militant group Hezbollah after Palestinian militants had infiltrated Israel’s northern border. The US is among governments designating Hezbollah as a terrorist group (see overview).
See a visual timeline of the decadeslong Israel-Palestine conflict here.
*** end quote ***
How does Israel deal with terrorism and adversaries that want to literally destroy the State of Israel?
Hamas has clearly escalated the conflict.
From an Israel POV, I believe that the they mist regard the “hostages” as if they were dead strategically, On a tactical basis, it MIGHT be possible to rescue some. But, that’s a long shot.
While as a little L libertarian, I believe in the Non-Aggression Principle. I can’t sort out fact from fiction, right from wrong, or what is true. Acknowledging that, my position is that killing innocent civilians is just wrong. And, the USA should use all means to end the killing. At the very least, there should be a strict neutrality observed.
I mourn that after lesson after lesson, humans still haven’t learned to live in peace with each other.

Hillary Clinton: Trump Supporters Need “Formal Deprogramming”
Posted by Fuzzy Slippers Saturday, October 7, 2023 at 07:30pm 30 Comments
*** begin quote ***
It’s really quite alarming how open Democrats are about their fear and loathing of the American people. From Biden’s blood red speech declaring that Trump supporters are destroying the soul of the nation to the DOJ’s targeting of Trump supporters, those related to J6 and otherwise, they have all but declared war on half the country.
One of Hillary Clinton’s more horrifying flaws, of which there are many, is her complete and utter disdain for at least half the nation. We all remember her declaring Trump supporters a “basket of deplorables.” Well, she’s at it again.

Time for her to returned to whatever part of Hell she came from.

If We the People Were Actually in Charge
By J.B. Shurk
*** begin quote ***
Perhaps no greater delusion stubbornly persists from one generation to the next than the idea that governments can be trusted. Sure, they conduct their affairs in secret, spy on their own people, and arm themselves to the teeth — but, by all means, trust them as you would a dear relative. Sure, they steal from productive citizens, manipulate markets, and swell their bureaucratic armies with ever-growing taxes — but, by all means, trust them as you would a close business associate. Sure, they impose their beliefs on our culture, ban the public expression of unfavored religions, and interpose their agents between parents and children — but, by all means, trust them as you might a pastor, rabbi, or priest.
*** end quote ***
Ronald Regan’s words rang true. The Gooferment is not only NOT your friend. It’s your enemy. And, should be treated as such.

Switzerland’s e-voting system has predictable implementation blunder
October 6, 2023 by Andrew Appel
*** begin quote ***
Last year, I published a 5-part series about Switzerland’s e-voting system. Like any internet voting system, it has inherent security vulnerabilities: if there are malicious insiders, they can corrupt the vote count; and if thousands of voters’ computers are hacked by malware, the malware can change votes as they are transmitted. Switzerland “solves” the problem of malicious insiders in their printing office by officially declaring that they won’t consider that threat model in their cybersecurity assessment.
But the Swiss Post e-voting system (that Switzerland uses) addresses the malware-in-voter-computer problem in an interesting way that’s worth taking seriously. Each voter is sent a piece of paper with some special “return codes” that are never seen by the voter’s computer, so any potential malware can’t learn them. And each voter is instructed to follow a certain protocol, checking the return codes shown on their screen against the return codes on the paper.
*** end quote ***
This demonstrates that Gooferment can’t run “voting”.

National Emergency Alert Test
Simultaneous tests of the nation’s wireless and broadcast alert systems will ping cellphones, TVs, and radios across the US today at 2:20 pm ET, the first such nationwide test since August 2021.
The less-than-one-minute alert—which can be deployed by only the US president or the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency—is designed to evaluate the network’s effectiveness in communicating national alerts within 10 minutes. The system has its roots in the Cold War when officials sought a quick way to warn Americans of a possible attack from the Soviet Union. State and local governments frequently deploy similar systems for weather alerts.
The cellphone notification will consist of a two-second tone followed by two one-second tones, a cycle which will be repeated twice, similar to Amber Alerts (listen here). Phones that are powered off, in airplane mode, or connected to the internet only through Wi-Fi will not receive the alert.
# – # – # – # – #
SO THE TEST DEMONSTRATES THE FLAW IN THEIR THINKING. Or lack there of.
It can’t possible “alert everyone” so the fundamental assumption is wrong. But let’s go ahead anyway. (Remember the sirens in Hawaii?).
AND, at the cost of (1) annoying the <synonym for excrement> out of everyone; AND (2) potentially exposing every domestic violence victim who has an emergency burner phone hidden away.
Great idea.
Politicians and bureaucrats are just font of waste effort and useless NPCs.

The world’s first artificial energy island just got the go-ahead
Michelle Lewis | Oct 3 2023 – 7:58 am PT
*** begin quote ***
The world’s first artificial energy island has secured its environmental permit, so it’s now all systems go in Belgium.
Princess Elisabeth Island is a pioneering electricity grid at sea that’s going to connect offshore wind farms to the Belgian mainland and also serve as a hub for future interconnectors with the UK and Denmark.
Belgian electricity transmission system operator Elia is the project’s developer, and obtaining the permit, which Elia applied for in January 2023, is a key milestone. Construction will take over two years, from March 2024 to August 2026.
*** end quote ***
But what alternatives did its economics crowd out; remember seen and unseen? There are no “shareholders” looking for a profit. Just nameless faceless politicians and bureaucrats with endless supplies of Taxpayer “wealth” to amuse themselves “saving the planet”.
Seriously, how do “we” know that was the best use of resources?

Five simple policy suggestions for lawmakers in Second Amendment friendly states
By Ranjit Singh | 5:31 PM on September 28, 2023
*** begin quote ***
2) Integrate carry permit applications and issuance at the DMV
(Full disclosure: I am repeating an idea I heard from Attorney Mark Smith at the Four Boxes Diner YouTube channel.) Local DMV offices are well-positioned to process carry permit applications. They have cameras, computers, desks, paper forms, pens, etc., and employees who know how to process driver’s license applications. Processing carry permit applications is well within DMV employees’ abilities. States with pro-Second Amendment majorities should add carry permit applications to the portfolio of services offered by their DMV offices, and advertise the new service loudly and proudly.
*** end quote ***
I think this is a great idea. Let’s turn the “DMV” into a people-centric resource for deal with the Gooferment!

This is that “home school” podcast that I thought had some great ideas to try with an ADHD child my fiancé has custody of. Not to “home school” but to steal some of the strategies and tactics that might help us deal with him.
It may offer some great ideas.
I was particularly struck by how Gooferment Skrules make the children unable to make even simple decisions by themselves. I am well aware of the “Prussian School Model” with bells and yak in the box. It was designed to replace the Family with the State and make cannon fodder for the Army, willing morons for the factories, and useful idiots to vote for and be led by the elite.
FWIW YMMV
I found it inspiration for liberty.

London apartment block that deviates from plans must be torn down, says council
Robert Booth Social affairs correspondent
Wed 27 Sep 2023 04.19 EDT
First published on Wed 27 Sep 2023 02.00 EDT
*** begin quote ***
Buildings rarely look as good as the airbrushed architects’ visualisations produced to persuade planners to grant permission. Extra sharp highlights, implausibly blue skies and deeper colours are all part of the dark arts of the computer-generated rendering.
But the gulf between what was proposed for an apartment complex rising 23 storeys above the Thames in south-east London and what was actually built has finally proved too much.
After counting 26 major deviations from the original planning permission that it granted, the Royal Borough of Greenwich has taken the extraordinary move – “unprecedented”, it said – of ordering the developers of the Mast Quay II development to pull it down. It means tenants in 204 flats now face the prospect of finding somewhere else to live.
*** end quote ***
Well clearly the correct politicians and bureaucrats didn’t have their pockets lined right!
Now will the politicians and bureaucrats have the courage to have it torn down?
Seems like a waste, but if they don’t, it sends the wrong message. I can imagine the lawsuits and pity parties that will ensue.
Perhaps if the “profit” and then a little extra is removed from all involved, a more economic result MIGHT be achieved. But only if all involved are equally screwed.
Seems a waste of prefectly good building to send a message to the “marketplace”.

She Was About to End it All, Until a Stranger She’d Never Meet Told Her ‘Don’t Jump’
By Andy Corbley – Sep 18, 2023
*** begin quote ***
“I was sobbing and crying and working up the courage to just go through with it, because I knew at that moment that it was going to make everyone’s lives better.”
At that moment, a driver, whose face Belmont didn’t see, and whose hand she would never shake, passed over the bridge and hollered out of the window.
“Don’t jump,” they said.
It immediately clicked a lightbulb on in her head; that if a stranger could care enough to speak up, then suicide was not the answer.
*** end quote ***
Help is available call or text 988.
I’d have preferred if the driver stopped and talked her “down”. But, maybe that would have had a worse effect?
I always thought that suicide for a young healthy persons was just FEAR (i.e., False Evidence Appearing Real). And, the Bible tells us, as one Christian Brother to my class, that “leaving the game early is against the rules. That’s why football has the ‘Hail Mary Pass. There’s always hope. Or in the case of the opponents of Notre Dame, the next game!”. Maybe a little sacrilegious, but in a funny memorable way. We all have to just put one foot in from to the other, day by day, until we reach the finish line.
I wrote in my Magnus Opus: “My love, were it in my power, I would sadly grant thee this boon. But, we have to continue to follow His Plan for us. Let’s go forth and speak no more of this. Who ever is last will be last. It will be His choice; not ours. We’re but humble custodians of His temple on earth. It’s not our place to trump His plan. Whatever that plan be, know that I will be with you to my last breath.” — character “John” in CHURCH 10●19●62 Volume 2 Page 399
And, I really believe that to be true.

WeHo drivers able to video chat with deputies during traffic stops

Posted: Sep 21, 2023 / 07:29 AM PDT
Updated: Sep 21, 2023 / 07:32 AM PDT
*** begin quote ***
A new smartphone app may do for law enforcement interactions what telemedicine has done for doctors.
The app, SafeStop, allows members of the public to video chat with Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputies before the in-person traffic stop, which the app developers said will “de-escalate traffic stops and transform police-motorist interactions.”
Traffic stops in particular have become a point of contention in the ongoing cultural discussion around the role of police in American society.
Multiple deadly encounters between police and civilians began as simple traffic stops, including the high-profile killing of Philando Castile by Minnesota police.
*** end quote ***
I like the concept.
Perhaps if the app was always on, then it might be more useful and wiser friendly.
I’m thinking like Star Trek “open up a hailing frequency”.
I’m not sure I would want to be fumbling with my phone on a dark night when the police want to speak to me. I was always taught to shut the car off, turn on the inside light, roll down the window, keep my hands at 10-2 on the steering window, and shut up.
Still seems like the best advice.

American Pandemic ‘Samizdat’
COMMENTARY
By Jay Bhattacharya
September 21, 2023
*** begin quote ***
Censorship existed even before literature, say the Russians. And, we may add, censorship being older, literature has to be craftier. Hence, the new and remarkably viable underground press in the Soviet Union called samizdat.
Samizdat – translates as: “We publish ourselves” – that is, not the state, but we, the people.
Unlike the underground of Czarist times, today’s samizdat has no printing presses (with rare exceptions): The K.G.B., the secret police, is too efficient. It is the typewriter, each page produced with four to eight carbon copies, that does the job. By the thousands and tens of thousands of frail, smudged onionskin sheets, samizdat spreads across the land a mass of protests and petitions, secret court minutes, Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s banned novels, George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” and “1984,” Nicholas Berdyayev’s philosophical essays, all sorts of sharp political discourses and angry poetry.
*** end quote ***
Had the experience in typing school
— My sainted Mother’s idea to keep the “idle hands” from being the Devil’s workshop one summer when I was to young to get a real job and too old to be left alone without getting into trouble. It included: business accounting, shorthand, composition, and letter writing. Argh! And you wonder why I hate schools?) — were we had timed typing tests with only three pages of onion skin and carbon paper. If we corrected a mistake, the carbon copy made it obvious. I still remember minus five points for a mistake on the original and minus one for a correction. When I complained, my Mom sat down at an old manual we had at home a pounded out the test page at an amazing WPM without a single mistake. Then she turned to me and asked: “Now want to complain about shorthand?” I knew to shut my mouth because she had her secretarial school medals in her “hope chest” when she was best of class in various disciplines. Guess the genes failed because I never was as good as her in those skills. Sigh! Sadly —
Have to admire the dedication to the produce the manuscripts. Like the Irish monks duplicating texts by hand during the Dark Ages.

My 90-minute American Airlines flight turned into a 9-hour hell — but a miracle happened
By Jane Herz
Published Sep. 21, 2023, 9:27 a.m. ET
*** begin quote ***
American Airlines flight 5085 was scheduled to depart at 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 18. But when Conley looked at his phone and saw that the time was 6:30 p.m. — about a half hour after the plane was originally supposed to land at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) — he knew something was awry.
That’s when the pilot told passengers that the plane was diverted to a small airport in Wichita Falls, Texas, due to a severe impending storm, as DFW was not allowing landings or takeoffs.
Rather than disembarking upon landing at 6:45 p.m. at Wichita Falls Regional Airport, Conley and his fellow passengers got stuck on the tarmac for over two hours because airport employees weren’t allowed outside due to the lightning.
But what should have been the flight from hell was really something that turned into a beautiful, human experience, Conley, 38, said.
*** and ***
The man Conley was sitting next to, Joshua Chandler, even put on a pretend duck tour for the young kids, as he had been on one earlier that day, blowing the yellow duck whistle around his neck.
*** end quote ***
What a great inspirational story. We hear all about the “Karens” and “Kens”, drunken idiots, or some “un housebroken” slobs on planes. But we rarely hear of the times that humans all come together under duress and make the best of some unfortunate coincidences.
I’d like to think that I could be like them — charitable, kind, and considerate of my neighbors.
And, BTW, where does one go for a “duck tour” and why. Laugh!
Of course, I’ll never ever fly into, out of, or through DFW. One thunderstorm ride there back in the 70’s was enough for me. (And that’s where IBM lost its PC team when Esteridge’s place went down. All the corporate travel departments created the “only a few employees on any one flight” rule as few weeks later. So sad.)
Great story of humanity’s possibilities.

7 Takeaways From Garland’s Testimony to House Judiciary Committee
Fred Lucas / @FredLucasWH / September 20, 2023
*** begin quote ***
Attorney General Merrick Garland declined to answer questions on a wide range of matters Wednesday in sworn testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.
Garland testified that he couldn’t remember whether he talked to FBI personnel about the investigation of first son Hunter Biden and didn’t know how many confidential informants entered the Capitol during the riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
The attorney general, appointed by President Joe Biden, also hesitated to answer whether Catholics are “violent extremists,” as an infamous FBI memo said.

Unprecedented images of WWII shipwrecks from Battle of Midway reveal clues about aircraft carriers’ “final moments”
By Stephen Smith
September 18, 2023 / 11:31 AM / CBS News
*** begin quote ***
Each dive ended with protocol ceremonies to honor all who lost their lives in the battle.
More than 3,400 people were killed at Midway, and the vast majority of casualties were Japanese service members, according to the National WWII Museum. About 362 U.S. troops were among the dead. Japan lost four aircraft carriers, one cruiser, and hundreds of aircraft, while the U.S. lost one carrier, one destroyer and 144 aircraft during the battle.
*** and ***
“On this occasion, we meet on those same Pacific waters in which Japan and the U.S. once met in battle, but this time as allies and fellow researchers,” said Embassy of Japan Minister Kosei Nomura. “We are reminded that today’s peace and tomorrow’s discoveries are built on the sacrifices of war, and so in my view, it is meaningful that Japan and the U.S. are now deepening their cooperation at Midway, utilizing such cutting-edge technology.”
*** end quote ***
And, let’s learn a lesson about war. Young men die! Unnecessarily!
