Sounds good to me.
They need to figure out some way to make it longer lasting.
There's a whole generation of "College Graduates" who have NO CLUE what a Houyhnhnm is.
My favorite passage, BTW:
He added, "that he had heard too much upon the subject of war, both in this and some former discourses. There was another point, which a little perplexed him at present. I had informed him, that some of our crew left their country on account of being ruined by law; that I had already explained the meaning of the word; but he was at a loss how it should come to pass, that the law, which was intended for every man's preservation, should be any man's ruin. Therefore he desired to be further satisfied what I meant by law, and the dispensers thereof, according to the present practice in my own country; because he thought nature and reason were sufficient guides for a reasonable animal, as we pretended to be, in showing us what he ought to do, and what to avoid."ML/NJI assured his honour, "that the law was a science in which I had not much conversed, further than by employing advocates, in vain, upon some injustices that had been done me: however, I would give him all the satisfaction I was able."
I said, "there was a society of men among us, bred up from their youth in the art of proving, by words multiplied for the purpose, that white is black, and black is white, according as they are paid. To this society all the rest of the people are slaves. For example, if my neighbour has a mind to my cow, he has a lawyer to prove that he ought to have my cow from me. I must then hire another to defend my right, it being against all rules of law that any man should be allowed to speak for himself. Now, in this case, I, who am the right owner, lie under two great disadvantages: first, my lawyer, being practised almost from his cradle in defending falsehood, is quite out of his element when he would be an advocate for justice, which is an unnatural office he always attempts with great awkwardness, if not with ill–will. The second disadvantage is, that my lawyer must proceed with great caution, or else he will be reprimanded by the judges, and abhorred by his brethren, as one that would lessen the practice of the law. And therefore I have but two methods to preserve my cow. The first is, to gain over my adversary's lawyer with a double fee, who will then betray his client by insinuating that he hath justice on his side. The second way is for my lawyer to make my cause appear as unjust as he can, by allowing the cow to belong to my adversary: and this, if it be skilfully done, will certainly bespeak the favour of the bench. Now your honour is to know, that these judges are persons appointed to decide all controversies of property, as well as for the trial of criminals, and picked out from the most dexterous lawyers, who are grown old or lazy; and having been biassed all their lives against truth and equity, lie under such a fatal necessity of favouring fraud, perjury, and oppression, that I have known some of them refuse a large bribe from the side where justice lay, rather than injure the faculty, by doing any thing unbecoming their nature or their office.
"It is a maxim among these lawyers that whatever has been done before, may legally be done again: and therefore they take special care to record all the decisions formerly made against common justice, and the general reason of mankind. These, under the name of precedents, they produce as authorities to justify the most iniquitous opinions; and the judges never fail of directing accordingly.
"In pleading, they studiously avoid entering into the merits of the cause; but are loud, violent, and tedious, in dwelling upon all circumstances which are not to the purpose. For instance, in the case already mentioned; they never desire to know what claim or title my adversary has to my cow; but whether the said cow were red or black; her horns long or short; whether the field I graze her in be round or square; whether she was milked at home or abroad; what diseases she is subject to, and the like; after which they consult precedents, adjourn the cause from time to time, and in ten, twenty, or thirty years, come to an issue.
Combined General and Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Nov. 4, don’t go into the city if you can help it.
They will be fishing for something they can characterize as an unprovoked attack from “the right”, to use as fuel for their “revolution”.
I plan to stay far away from their demonstrations. If they want me to set one or more of them free, they’ll have to disperse into neighborhoods and come after me or my neighbors. Most of them won’t have the eggs for that, which is good or too bad, depending on how you look at it.
If we don’t give them the martyrs they seek during their street demonstrations, they’ll have to ramp it up and come after us where we live and work. At that point we’ll do what’s necessary, with law and morality fully on our side.
All that being said, I fully expect bloodshed at the demonstrations involving some skinheads, even if Soros has to hire them himself. The cops may have to light up certain individuals. Soros certainly has the money to hire capable mercs, so consider the implications of that factor.
Now is the time to review and tighten up our homestead security, our back-up comms with our friends, or our bug-out route and destination if our home security situation is unworkable (if that’s you, you need to FIX THAT)
The Nov 4 date is probably a head fake. I expect serious incidents next month.
Antifa may bill these as protests but they will be full blown riots. The timing is no coincidence as it coincides with the start of the mid term election season and major initiatives coming to head for the Trump administration. All designed to monkey wrench Trump and take over what’s left of the democratic party. It’s a massive strategic error on their part. America is fed up, just ask the NFL.
One would think so, due to their illegal behavior
Personally, I think they should be charged with sedition, and attempted overthrow of the government
and even charge the sources that finance them (Klintoon/ soros/ American Communist Party, etc.,etc..)
>(if that’s you, you need to FIX THAT)<
We’re very well set up in that regard. But, it’s still good advice.
We have already seen what happens with the looting, burning of businesses and automobiles, and wanton purposeless destruction of property.
If law enforcement is ordered to "Stand down" again, the authority who gives that order should be charged with aiding and abetting a felony,
and charged criminally, and even be subject to civil penalties.
Talk is cheap, ...but prepare anyway !
Their lawlessness and behavior is already known.
Oh, definitely charge them with those as well. But use the powers of RICO to get into the records of the crowdfunding sites to locate the punks and freeze their assets first so they can’t escape.
Remember, one of those crowdfunding sites decided to cancel out funding for the baker who wouldn’t bake the gay cake. Those sites should deserve no special treatment.
Probably not, but STL is in MO.
Definite opportunity for a non-fatal Darwin event.
Oops, doin' some California dreamin'! (nightmare mostly)
wow. I went to the source site. Of course I made sure my search words were “refuse fascism marxists” so the fbi knows it’s only me.
The nov 4th pop-up is right up there. I wish the FBI would just notify constitutionalists so we can know where they are going.
gotta love it!

The Israeli police force has high hopes of turning Skunk into a commercial venture and selling it to law-enforcement agencies overseas.

St Louis Police have it.

Absolutely! Why just use one round when 10 or 12 will do the same job?
thanks.
it’ll be interesting to see how the law enforcement folks respond across different political districts.
Target rich environment.
Exactly why it's a FORD. Why would you use commie Government Motors junk?
