- Chortle! Pro-gunners use gun buyback program to fund a shooting camp. (Tip o’ hat to PT.)
- Best explanation yet of the LIBOR scandal and its implications. Or are we suffering too much scandal fatigue to care?
- Here’s James Howard Kunstler’s take: “All this points to a dangerous new period of political history, a deadly Hobbesian scramble to evade the falling timber in a burning house as the rudiments of a worldwide social contract go up in flames.” Agree or not, the man writes like a demon.
- Yet another reason to avoid airports.
- I am not delusional enough.
- Talk about local farming!
- MamaLiberty’s interactive defensive drills, for groups and individuals.
- Well now. That’s one way to make sure your drones don’t kill any innocents: just redefine all the dead as guilty. Voila! You see, that’s why you and I aren’t in charge. Because we just aren’t smart enough to figure out things like that.
Perhaps you need to be crazy in order to stay sane in today’s world.
That Kuntsler is right on the edge. He leans all the way over the line between normal and gonzo without actually going over it. And that’s not easy. A pleasure to read.
So I am wondering about this new laser gizmo the government thugs will soon be employing. What happens if you happen to be an active gun enthusiast who shoots a lot or is a competitive shooter and you go to the airport. I am reasonably sure “gun residue” can be found on some part of my body or clothes all the time no matter what the heck I am wearing and regardless of my showering habits. The bottom line is a shoot a lot. So do I automatically go to jail for that?
No, Mic. You find some way to “contaminate” everyone with the same residue. 😉
Lasers are cool, but the still have to have line of sight and have to be relatively tightly focused to get quality feedback. If you lase a group of people at 160feet, it would have to be an unobstructed line of sight and then if you get positive feed back you would have to go to a more invasive search to determine who in the group set it off. More security theater to sell to the gullible.
I try to keep up with Zerohedge, but a lot of those articles leave me thinking, “I need that in Captain dummy talk, Kaylee.”
They have a laser scanner that can detect hormone levels, but the doctor always requires a full vial of blood (or several) to test the same thing?
FWIW, I’m with the folks who think that the capabilities of the new laser device are being ever-so-slightly exaggerated to impress the rubes. Look for these things either to be stuck in a warehouse somewhere until they become obsolete or be put into use and cause absolutely no end of trouble with bogus readings.
