Prep for a Communist Revolution
Quote of the Day
There are basically 5 scenarios in which civilians drastically lose their liberties, lives, and fortunes:
- Communist Revolution
- Civil War broadly defined: regime change/guerilla campaigns/insurgency/ complete loss of order
- Foreign Invasion
- domestic outward invasion/war
- economic sanctions/blockade (externally or internally imposed).
And as we’ve seen recently… there’s a 6th condition:
- Disease outbreak and public health totalitarianism (i.e. Soft Communist Revolution)
Anyone one of these 5 (6) conditions can be caused by or cause economic collapses, and there are numerous examples of all of them resulting in things such as: mass starvation, breakdown in healthcare, concentration camp style detainment of populations, ethnic cleansing, mass enslavement, government by terror, conscription, press gangs, banditry, confiscation of wealth.
…
Of these 5 however, the worst is number 1: Communist Revolution. And for that reason we’re going to assume that’s what you’re dealing with.
Not just because I hate communists which, yes, but because inherent in every communist revolution are the other 5.

Realistic Prepper Advice

Judge Orders Election Re-Do After Democrats Commit Voter Fraud
Ajudge has overturned a Democratic primary race in a Connecticut town after video evidence allegedly showed the incumbent mayor, Joe Ganim, cheating.
Ganim was initially trailing his opponent, John Gomes, but suddenly gained votes after absentee ballots were counted.
…
“The volume of ballots so mishandled is such that it calls the results of the primary election into serious doubt and leaves the court unable to determine the legitimate result of the primary,” Clark ruled.
“The videos are shocking to the court and should be shocking to all the parties” Clark pressed.
It is noted that Ganim was previously convicted of corruption but was re-elected after serving his sentence.
It was just a primary between two Democrats so perhaps the judge figured he wouldn’t get assassinated if he threw out an election because of fraud. Had a judge done this for a critical state in the Biden v. Trump election it could mean his life would never be the same again. I suspect this sort of thinking contributed to some of the legal avoidance in the 2020 precedential election.
But, this election getting appropriate legal attention could make it easier for a more significant election to get appropriate attention as well.
What I don’t understand is even though the fraud was clear the candidate is still allowed to run for office rather than being unable to serve due to a long term commitment to a small room with metal bars for a door:
The judge called for a new primary race while the general election is still planned with Ganim as the Democratic nominee and Gomes as an independent candidate.
The Effective End of the Gun Control Movement
Quote of the Day
Was at my local gun shop again yesterday. I’m not exaggerating when I say that there was a minyan of religious Jews inside within 20 minutes after the store opened. And I’ll say it again: Jews arming up like this is the effective end of the gun control movement in America.

I’m not sure this is the definitive indicator of the end of the gun control movement in America. If I were to place a stake in the political landscape and say, “This is point of no return for the gun control movement.”, I would place it at October 26th, 2020. This is the day the U.S. Senate confirmed Amy Coney Barrett as an associate justice to the U.S. Supreme Court as a replacement for Justice Ginsberg.
Still, large numbers of people from any group that usually votes for anti-gun politicians buy guns is a push in the right direction down a slippery slope. Gun ownership is a “gateway drug” to a more individualistic mindset.
In a recent discussion with brother Doug he reported something he had read on a forum somewhere indicating that gun ownership doesn’t necessarily mean voting against the political left. As he reported it:
Jews will continue to vote for the political left as they are being loaded into the box cars.
I don’t know how much truth there is in that claim, but it is worth further observation of Jewish voting habits as the Hamas supporters in this country continue to show their bloody intentions.
Sad and Ironic? Yes, Also Rogue and Evil.
Quote of the Day
It is a sad and ironic twist that the ATF professes its desire to protect the privacy of gunowners, considering this case involves ATF’s covert surveillance program that for years has been spying on, invading the privacy of, and gathering private information about those very persons. It is more ironic still that ATF seeks to protect that information vis-à-vis Plaintiffs, nonprofit organizations whose mission is to protect and defend the rights (including the privacy) of gunowners against government infringement. This Court should deny Defendant’s request to force Plaintiffs to sequester, to not use, and to destroy records about a secret government program that fails to sequester, nefariously uses, and fails to destroy records about gun sales that Congress’s own statutory protective order declares must be destroyed and not used.

If the ATF people had any moral decency this would burn pretty deep. As it is, I suspect this will be regarded as a source of pride.
I hope the judge sees the ATF for what it is. It is a government organization without constitutional authority run amuck. I hope they enjoy their trial.
Audacious Lies
Quote of the Day
We must come to grips with the reality that the only reason people buy automatic AR15-style assault weapons in America is not for home protection, target practice, or hunting. An automatic weapon is not needed to do these activities. Assault weapons are only used for one thing—to kill the largest number of people in the shortest time possible.

Gun Control: What Will It Take To Ban Assault Weapons In America?
There are tens of millions of “assault weapons” used by people in this country. Since there aren’t 100s of millions of deaths each year via these killing machine then we must be using them wrong. Or… They are lying.
You have to wonder at the audacity and the motivation for such a lie.
With the lynching of black men and the use of firearms by the Black Panthers within living memory you would think the authors would realize the utility of firearms for self-defense against an oppressive or even the turning of a blind eye to crimes against people of their skin color.
Perhaps they do understand this and are working for the day when they have the power to oppress the descendants of their ancestors oppressors.
Whatever the reason for their lies, prepare and respond appropriately to retain our specific enumerated right to keep and bear arms.
Don’t Ban Guns, Ban Gun Stores
Quote of the Day
We can pass laws to close gun stores in the 17 states where Democrats have unified control. As a candidate for the state Assembly in New York — one of those 17 states — I am proposing a law telling every corporate entity in the state to make a choice: either stop selling guns or stop doing business in our state.

How to curb gun violence: States should ban corporations from selling guns
This smooth brained tyrant wannabe thinks this would pass constitutional muster? Wow!
Does he also believe the states could ban stores that sell religious books? Or churches even? You are free to practice whatever religion you want in your own home. So, in his world view, that wouldn’t be an infringement, right?
Or how about banning media outlets which publish nonsense from Democrats? What will it take for this guy to understand? I propose that if he wins his public office and is successful in banning gun stores he get educated via a public trial and some serious prison time.
Damning Evidence of Corruption in U.S. Politics
Quote of the Day
Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight.
And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.

It Isn’t that Simple
Quote of the Day
These people are playing with matches… I don’t think they understand the scope and scale of the wildfire they are flirting with. They are fucking around with a civil war that could last a decade and cause millions of deaths… and the sad truth is that 95% of the problems we have in this country could be solved tomorrow, by noon… simply by dragging 100 people out in the street and shooting them in the fucking head.

I’m not sure it is quite that simple. There is a huge “swamp” to be drained to reduce the size of our government to that which it is supposedly limited to by the U.S. Constitution.
That said, if it were possible to avoid the civil war as described by the execution of the appropriate 100 people I can see a case being made for that. It is similar to the adage, “A dagger in the dark is worth a thousand swords at dawn.”
Replacement for Western Civilization
Quote of the Day
Western civilization has produced some of the most stunning scientific, technological, social, and cultural breakthroughs in human history. If you consider yourself “liberal” or even “progressive,” it must surely be clear by now that America and her allies are the only places in the world where your values are even considered values. If our civilization is allowed to collapse, it will not be replaced by a progressive utopia. It will be replaced by chaos and barbarism.

We Live in Interesting Times
Quote of the Day
I’m trying to imagine what happens if Trump has an insurmountable polling lead over Biden during the summer of 2024. Which seems likely.
Under that scenario, I see no possibility Democrats would let the election go forward. It would be canceled for some bogus reason.
After the Russian Collusion Hoax and the Hunter Laptop Hoax, it should be obvious to all of us there are no ethical boundaries in play.
Scott Adams @ScottAdamsSays
Tweeted on October 25, 2023
If I accept his premise of an insurmountable lead then I come to a different conclusion. I would predict a different candidate receiving the nomination. Gavin Newsome comes to mind as an alternative. And if that still doesn’t solve “the problem” then election fraud would be the next tactic deployed.
Blocking the election would just be too “obvious” and over the top to make it through the courts, torches, and pitchforks.
An even more “interesting” scenario which might reach the level of not letting the election go forward would be if a month or so before the election a candidate where to die leaving only one major party and the Libertarian candidate on the ballot in all 50 states. Then what happens? The major party without a candidate would do desperate things. With the age of both current major party candidates rather advanced that could easily happen in 2024.
Another “interesting” scenario, made more likely by the current high emotions on both sides of the political fence, are that the candidate for one party or another is assassinated. Then, before the election, the other major candidate is assassinated.
We live in interesting times.
A Change in the Direction of the Wind
Quote of the Day
If it’s clear that the last two weeks have been a wake-up call, the next question is: Why?
Part of the answer is the sheer depravity of Hamas’s terrorism. That depravity has made the justification and celebration of their acts by those who police pronouns that much starker. The contradictions and moral bankruptcy of a worldview that spends years worrying about microaggressions and tone policing, but can’t decide what side it is on after the beheading of babies, aren’t exactly difficult to spot.

Aiding Our Enemies By Disarming Us
Quote of the Day
Israel once encouraged citizens to own and carry. Gradual infringement cut this natural right to self-defense and property ownership (arms). Danger is what you get when government denies civil rights. Israel’s slightly relaxed gun laws are a good step, but a small one. America needs to remove any restrictions on peaceful possession of arms—infringements—banned by the Constitution. Officials who act to maintain infringements need to face charges for aggravated infringement—putting innocent lives in danger. Denial of civil rights is a crime, 18 USC §242. Aiding our enemies by disarming us must stop.

It is About Control
Quote of the Day
In theory, if criminals leave registered guns at a crime scene, the serial numbers can be used to trace the weapons back to the perpetrators.
But, in real life, guns are only left at the scene of a crime when gunmen have been seriously injured or killed. With both the criminal and the weapon present at a scene, police can solve these crimes without registration. In the exceedingly unusual instances where registered guns are left at the scene, they aren’t registered to the person who committed the crime.
Police in Hawaii, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New York have had registration systems in place for decades but can’t point to any crimes that this has helped them to solve. Even entire countries such as Canada haven’t had success.
New York and Maryland spent tens of millions of dollars compiling a computer database that contained the unique ballistic “fingerprints” of each new gun sold over a 15-year period. Even these states, which strongly favor gun control, eventually abolished their systems because they never solved a single crime.
Despite Biden’s claims, his new ghost gun regulations are no more useful. Combined with Biden’s zero-tolerance policy for any paperwork mistakes by gun dealers, which has put thousands of licensed dealers out of business, this new rule is quite nefarious. Biden wants to put gun dealers out of business if they make any paperwork mistake, no matter how trivial or inconsequential. With each part of a gun having a different serial number, just transferring a barrel from one gun to another requires redoing all the paperwork on both guns. Biden is adding significant costs to gun dealers and manufacturers and increasing the likelihood of mistakes that would put them out of business.
There is a possible argument for using serial numbers for tax purposes, to allow for easier proof of whether a gun has been taxed. The 1934 National Firearms Act imposed taxes on certain weapons, such as machine guns. But licensed dealers can still make sure that guns are properly taxed when sold, just as sales taxes are imposed on items at any other store.
The Supreme Court’s decision on Monday isn’t the final word. But the real question is this: Why do Democrats keep pushing a policy that costs so much and has no crime-reducing benefits? Someday, knowing who owns guns will help them to target their confiscation efforts. Mass registration will set the stage for future gun bans.

The Oregon State Board of Education unanimously voted on Thursday to remove proof of mastery in reading, writing, and math in order to graduate from high school until 2029.

Lack of Arrests Due to Lack Of Gun Control
Quote of the Day
Late Thursday, a gunfight broke out in a parking garage by Philadelphia International Airport when, according to police, a pair of officers saw a group of people trying to break into a car. One officer was killed — a 50-year-old father — and another was injured.
No one has been arrested in connection with the killing, a spokesperson for the Philadelphia Police Department told Insider.
In a statement, Krasner, a progressive Democrat, blamed the lack of arrests on state and federal gun laws.

Larry Krasner is the District Attorney of Philadelphia. He blamed the 2nd Amendment for the lack of an arrest. Does he also blame the 5th Amendment for the lack of convictions? It would be a lot easier to get confessions if people could be interrogated without an attorney present. And just imagine how many convictions they could get if the entire Bill of Rights were disposed of and torture was allowed and it was illegal to complain about it.
Gun control isn’t about safety. It is about control.
Luxury Beliefs
Quote of the Day
Their worldview includes fixed positions on race, gender, decolonisation, sexuality, slavery and the Palestinians. Although much of this causes real harm, particularly to teenagers and Jews, these ideological positions are signifiers of social status rather than authentic moral positions. They are luxury beliefs.
It is striking how closely this group adheres to these orthodoxies. Because it is a question of identity, it is almost unthinkable for devotees to hold some of those views but not others, and very hard for them to change their minds. Last week, Jeremy Corbyn appeared unable to revise his vision of Hamas as “friends” even in the aftermath of the massacre.

I like the label, “Luxury beliefs.” That describes the beliefs of gun control advocates as well. The people advocating for gun control will not be materially affected by the banning of guns and they like pleasure of feeling morally superior in ridding the world of the yucky guns.
Gun Control Emboldened Criminals

The first two sentences are true. At first glance the last sentence would appear to be true. But it depends on your premise.
If the premise is the problem is people with guns committing violent crime then yes, gun control is not the solution and ordinary gun owners are not the enemy.
But, as I’m am inclined to believe, these days most of the politicians advocating gun control are not motivated to make innocent people safer. They are part of the criminal class and ordinary gun owners are their enemies. This is why they lie so much. The truth would destroy their ambitions to rule over an enslaved population.
