JW, one of the contributors to the snitch book, sends this glorious example of an apparent snitch getting one of the world’s fastest karmic paybacks. Or maybe he’s just practicing up to win a Darwin Award someday. Either way, chortle, snort, and hoohah. 🙂 —– Speaking of the snitch book, the first-round reality checkers (lawyers, ex-cops, security guys, etc.) have turned in their suggestions. I hope to do the revisions within the week. Sooo … next round of reviewers needed soon. This time I’m looking for people who might have a serious need for this information — activists, anyone involved…

… or even you people who are reasonably competent at growing things, some advice, please. I bought my house two years ago (this Thursday). It has an apple tree in the back yard that’s very likely 100 years old and that has had no attention in decades. First year, it produced one — count ’em, one — apple. Last year, zero apples. Just when I was about to ask somebody to take it down, this summer it went apple crazy. From where I sit under the tree (or where I used to sit under it before it started getting dangerous)…
Didn’t watch the Olympics? Darned good thing! Satan might have taken over your brain. Hm. Maybe that explains the guy in that picture. Naw. His brain (sic) just got taken over by stupid. Oh brother, they’re at it again. Guns as a disease. And this is more pseudo-sophisticated than the last attempt. (H/T PT) Is this a new low? Wrong-house raid with puppycide and handcuffed children. Just for starters. Clearly St. Paul cops were going for a world record in cruel and unconstitutional. Pretty amazing. Does it always seem worse when whistleblowers uncover secret spy systems that are not only…
Urge people to free themselves, or even offer a little good news about freedom, and somebody is bound to retort with some anti-freedom myth. Two big ones that have made appearances in recent comment sections here at Ye Olde Blog are: Government is so powerful it’ll stop us. (It’ll disarm us, cut off our ‘Net access, round us all up and put us in camps, etc.) Yes, but there will still be people who … (Want to take our guns, support government programs, can’t handle freedom, etc.) That second one doesn’t look like a myth on its face. There will…
Oh yeah. I’m sure we’d all appreciate advice from this guy. Actual peasants. With actual (well, maybe wooden) pitchforks. protest government overreach into their farms. Another one to share with your friends who are just wondering how to begin preparing. And for those of you who thought seeing the face of Jesus on a piece of burnt toast was as silly as it gets: evidence to the contrary. So wait. Why are they arresting this guy? Hasn’t the gummint been telling us for years that waterboarding is a good thing? Gray State. Not sure just what a “conceptual trailer” might…
And a podcast: Michael W. Dean and Cody Wilson talk 3D printable guns. Even though I have at least one gun-making acquaintance who actually uses this technology, I admit I probably won’t understand 3D printing until I’m standing in a shop watching it be done. Or better yet, having a try at it myself. But you know, the idea of a “wiki weapon” is gloriously subversive and empowering to individuals (which is precisely what makes it so subversive). So I’m all for it. Of course. And it won’t take much to make this happen. We live in a world of…
Sorry for “lite” posting yesterday. I’m deadlining all this month while also trying to paint, trim, and partially re-side two walls of the house. I bought shingles and cedar boards in April in a wild-to-the-point-of-insanity fit of optimism. I dreamed spring would shortly yield to summer. Yeah. The supplies sat in the yard getting rained on. Now, we’ve got a brief eyeblink of dry weather. So I’m juggling: work-work in the a.m., improvement-work in the afternoon, dogs and housework … somewhere. I’m also getting to know a video camera sent by Terry Bressi The Checkpoint Beater. The only previous video…
Everybody’s up in arms about this. They’re commenting up a storm. And we dare not let this event pass without giving it a hard, though quick, kick where it hurts. But c’mon. A) The article is just one idiot’s ill-informed concept of insurgency. (The Tea Party; oh please!) B) Is there one, single person here who doesn’t already know, who hasn’t known for years (and years!), that the U.S. military is gearing up for a War on Us? Heck, their shock troops — the militarized cops, the intimidators of the TSA, and all their verminous their ilk — have already…
(H/T furrydoc for that one. Great find, furrydoc. Hope it’s true the injured dog survived.) What information overload does to your brain. Speaking of which … how to deal with email overload. (Tip o’ hat to JG.) Another unimportant nobody who doesn’t trust the cloud. Some guy called Woz … Obamacare will create chaos. No sh*t, Sherlock. I know this is last week’s news and therefore happened in the ‘Netly equivalent of the Jurassic. It’s still marvelously weird. That angry farmer with the tractor deserves one more link’s worth of immortality.
