Unlimited Thrust and Delta V

Posted on by

Quote of the Day

Deploying Quantum Drive into orbit in a Rogue satellite on SpaceX Transporter 9 is a milestone for the future of space propulsion.

…

Quantum Drive’s capability allows Rogue to produce new satellite vehicles with unlimited Delta V.

…

There are many things that have held back space exploration, one of them of course is power and propulsion.

…

IVO’s quantum drive eliminates this propulsion problem by eliminating the fuel. By taking away the fuel, then you have essentially unlimited thrust.

Government Admits Background Checks Do Not Enhance Public Safety

Posted on by

Quote of the Day

A District Court ruled in 2021 that the government was 60% responsible for the massacre after shooter Devin Kelley, who was discharged from the Air Force after a felony conviction, wasn’t entered into the national database that would have prevented him from buying a gun. A judge said the government also owed victims $230 million in damages.

But in court documents filed this week, the Department of Justice pushed back on paying damages and denied that they were primarily responsible for the shooting — a move that gun control advocates say not only harms victims and their families, but is also a backwards step for the Biden administration’s own stance on gun control policy.

DOJ appeal in Texas mass shooting case pleases NRA and puzzles gun control advocates

The issue is the DOJ is claiming the government failure to put the perp into the NICS database does not make them liable for the massacre. This can be interpreted to mean they know background checks do not make the public safer. Hence, background checks are either intended for something other than public safety (such as creating a backdoor registration of guns) and/or a waste of public resources.

Prep for a Communist Revolution

Posted on by

Quote of the Day

There are basically 5 scenarios in which civilians drastically lose their liberties, lives, and fortunes:

  1. Communist Revolution
  2. Civil War broadly defined: regime change/guerilla campaigns/insurgency/ complete loss of order
  3. Foreign Invasion
  4. domestic outward invasion/war
  5. economic sanctions/blockade (externally or internally imposed).

    And as we’ve seen recently… there’s a 6th condition:

  6. 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.

The End of Times

Quote of the Day

The biggest elephant in the room is the US Fiscal Doom Loop. To refresh: US Government spending is out of control, and there appears to be very little political will to stop it. As the chart below shows, Government spending is up 14% yoy and tax receipts are down 7% yoy.  Fiscal year ended September 2023 is projected to have a deficit of over $2 Billion (or roughly 8% of GDP). In the past, deficits of this magnitude only materialized during significant downturns like the bursting of the Dotcom Bubble, the 2008 GFC and the COVID crisis. It is unprecedented to have deficits of this magnitude with the economy and employment being relatively strong.

We live in interesting times. Some might even claim it is the end of times. Prepare appropriately.

The Effective End of the Gun Control Movement

Posted on by

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.

Jake Novak @jakejakeny
Tweeted on November 11, 2023

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.

There’s no noncriminal use for civilians, really, in the way they’re promoting them. If you ask somebody to make a list of ‘missions’ that could be carried out with an AR-15 – by a civilian – you could give them till the end of time, and then they wouldn’t be able to think of something that would be lawful.

This is what they think of you. If you own an AR-15 you own have criminal uses for it.

I find it very telling that no one from the gun industry or gun consumer was quoted in this article.

These people have nothing but their delusions to draw upon to generate their propaganda in their war upon the specific enumerate right to keep and bear arms.

As for the private citizen AR-15 “missions”, here are a few:

  • Defense from foreign invasion as in the Russia Ukraine war.
  • Defense from religious/ethnic rebellion as in the Hamas action against Jewish residents in Israel.
  • Wild hog hunting.
  • Varmint (prairie dog, etc.) hunting.
  • Three Gun matches.
  • Boomershoot.

All are lawful and it took me considerable less than “the end of time” to enumerate those.

These people are liars with an evil goal. The violation of a constitutional protected right creating a disarmed society susceptible to genocide.

Prepare and respond appropriately.

Amusing ATF Slap Down

Posted on by

Quote of the Day

The Final Rule is limitless. It purports to regulate any piece of metal or plastic that has been machined beyond its primordial state for fear that it might one day be turned into a gun, a gun frame, or a gun receiver. And it doesn’t stop regulating the metal or plastic until it’s melted back down to ooze. The GCA allows none of this. I concur in the majority’s opinion holding the Final Rule is unlawful. And I further concur that the matter should be remanded to the district court to fashion an appropriate remedy for the plaintiffs.

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.

Quote of the Day

I have never heard a reasonable argument for why a sportsman or a hunter needs to turn their rifle into a machine gun with the use of a bump stock to kill Bambi’s mom. The only purpose of a bump stock is to kill as many people as possible, as quickly as possible.

…

The way forward is to ban guns except as needed by a well-regulated militia. Everything else is just changing the retail name of the thing that will be purchased to murder children and ex-girlfriends.

Elie Mystal

The Supreme Court’s Next Big Gun Case Puts Us All in the Crosshairs

The absurdity is so great that I have to wonder if she is actually running a false flag operation for the benefit of gun owners.

On one hand she pretends to believe guns are only for sportsmen (and presumably sportswomen) and hunters who don’t need machine guns. This ignores the need for private citizens to defend themselves and their communities as recently demonstrated in the Ukraine and Israel.

Then she wants to ban all guns except those needed by a well-regulated militia. Of course, as pointed out by SCOTUS, the militia includes most private citizens. Hence, she is advocating for the banning of guns used for hunting and making available true assault rifles, .50 BMG machine guns, and artillery.

I’m laughing even though it is such a serious topic. Her display of evil lies, stupidity, and/or a poorly executed false flag operation is just so over the top I can’t help it.

Audacious Lies

Posted on by

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.

Thy Black Man—Staff

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

Posted on by

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.

Liberty Tradeoffs

Posted on by

Quote of the Day

While some people legitimately do need a gun for self-defense, nobody ever “needs” a drink. Alcohol is a worse liberty tradeoff in that sense, because the only utility is having fun and feeling good. To put it in the gun control terms: “By continuing to oppose banning alcohol, you are OK with over 100,000 people dying so you can enjoy your occasional beer, you evil monster!”

None of this is to say I want us to take another run at prohibition. Of course not. Rather, it is to demonstrate that everyone implicitly understands and accepts liberty tradeoffs. But on guns, they pretend not to. And alcohol isn’t even a constitutional right, yet we have given it de-facto protection anyway. I see alcohol advertising everywhere in a way that would be unthinkable for guns.

Many more people die because we can easily buy a drink than because we can (usually not as easily) buy a rifle.

Kostas Moros @MorosKostas
Tweeted on October 26, 2023

I have two hypotheses for why this occurs:

  • Gun grabbers are interested in control of the general population. They are not interested in saving lives.
  • Gun grabbers drink alcohol and know lots of people that do. A ban on, or strict regulation of, alcohol would adversely affect their recreational use and social life. They don’t own guns and believe most of their friends would not be adversely affected by a gun ban either.

Of course both things could be true.

I suspect that should you try to point out this inconsistency to a gun grabber the response would be similar to what once happened to me. I was confronting a hired gun banner working to pass the Washington State initiative to ban “assault weapons”.

I tried to make an analogy with the banning of recreational drugs. Their response was, “We are talking about guns, not drugs.” I attempted to continue saying the analogy was instructive. Their response was, “We are done talking about this.” They then refused to have any sort of conversation with me. They just repeatedly said, “We are done talking.” I concluded they knew they were on shaky ground and didn’t want more exposure of their weak position to the people around us.

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

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.

Halloween Story

Posted on by

Quote of the Day

So years ago my ex gf and I were driving home. It was sort of a dark day in that an apt had just burnt down and killed quite a few innocent people and children. Really just a sad day in general. It was pretty late and I had just stopped at a light. It had been storming hard for hours and we were in the middle of a torrential downpour with low visibility. On the passenger sides sidewalk, there was a very old looking woman in a house dress with a white cat on a leash. Certainly not something you’d expect to see at 2 am in the middle of a nightmarish storm.

Something was strange and we both noticed it at once. “Why isn’t she wet?!” The woman was entirely unbothered by the storm, unaffected by the wind and the rain did not dampen her. We both got a pit in our stomachs as she turned around and started walking towards the car deliberately. Her smile was unnaturally wide and sent chills through my entire body. My ex screamed as I started yelling WTF as loud as i could to the point where it was hurting my own ears. I slammed on the gas, blew through the light and drove like the devil was chasing us.

We got several miles away before we could even make words and talk about what had happened. When we stopped we both were covered in goosebumps. Look, I’m not saying it was a demon, but I’ve been in a lot of sticky situations in my life and none created a fear response like this. I’m talking the most primal and pure fear to ever exist. For weeks after we’d have nightmares of the same woman and to this day, thinking about it or speaking of it gives us both the chills.

Demon? ‍♂️ all I know is that is the only time in my life I’ve experienced what would be considered true terror and ill never forget it. The fact that we both experienced it at the same time, completely sober only adds to my belief that something was very wrong. We didn’t believe in Heaven or Hell, God or the devil then but that night,we both believed in demons.

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.
