You Can't Silence Us

Day of Rest

It snowed here last night, and bottomed out at around 21 degF. That’s much colder than we’ve had in years. The snow was just flurries, so it didn’t stick. One of the people on my street left their lawn sprinklers on last night. The street in front of his house and his lawn were icy this morning. We didn’t break above freezing until after noon.

I am taking it easy today and sitting in my warm house playing video games. I’m not even looking at Social Media or the news today.

I bought a pair of Meta Quest 2 VR goggles and used them to fly DCS for the first time today. All I can say is –

BIG DIFFERENCE

It’s like you are really flying a plane. All I did today was start up, taxi, take off, fly about 20 miles out, then go back to base and land. Trying to get used to flying with them on. My landing was much smoother and easier than it has been. It’s a tiny bit disorienting, but I will get used to it.

I recommend VR goggles. It’s only a matter of time before someone invents VR porn, if they haven’t already. This is some real looking video.

The disclaimer: I don’t advertise, and receive nothing for my reviews or articles. I don’t think that I ever will. I have no relationship with any products, companies, or vendors that I review here, other than being a customer. If I ever *DO* have a financial interest, I will disclose it. Otherwise, I pay what you would pay. No discounts or other incentives here. I only post these things because I think that my readers would be interested.

This Is Bad

Freedom loving Americans are getting their asses kicked by the Communists. I’ve been warning my readers for nearly 6 years of the coordination, the funding, and the training being displayed by the left. Their C3 and intel is equal to a professional army.

What does the right have? A bunch of uncoordinated people with guns. I just dont think that’s enough. The right needs to get all of its shit in one sock, or they are gonna get rolled.

Tax Season

Tax season begins today. This is the time of year when I am grumpiest. I would rather set my money on fire than mail it to the IRS, and sitting here with all of these confusing forms and watching my money disappear always makes me cranky.

Another One

When someone says you are their enemy and they want you dead, or when they say once they gain power they will torture and kill you, you should believe them.

Keep preparing. I just ordered the parts to build my newest home defense gun. It’s an AR in 300 Blackout with an 8 inch barrel, an EOTech holographic sight, and a Dead Air Sandman suppressor. The parts will get here next week.

It’s Time

They are cranking up the threats and rhetoric. Be ready, they are psyching themselves up for the next phase.

You know where all of the liberals in your area live, right? Keep an eye on them and make sure they don’t do anything stupid.

Someone needs to report this guy so the cops can red flag his ass.

Fifth Generation

The point of warfare is to force an enemy to capitulate, to force them into taking actions that you want them to take. Before there was modern warfare, battles were not as organized as one would think, being essentially a large bar fight. The came tactics where combatants would stand in organized groups that allowed them to maximize the power of there weapons. Formations like the phalanx, lines, and ranks were some of the earliest modern ways of fighting. This was First Generation warfare.

The Second Generation of warfare came about with the invention of gunpowder weapons like the musket. The basic tactics of this style of fighting were refined, using breech loading cannons, indirect fire, and even machine guns.

That all changed with the advent of mechanized warfare. Speed, shock, and even aerial bombardment meant that all of the Second Generation types of warfare obsolete. This Third Generation warfare played out in World War 2 and the First Gulf War.

Then came the advent of Fourth Generation warfare. This was necessitated because governments and large armies became quite adept at destroying any combatants they could see. Weaker nations responded by blurring the line between military versus civilian. This is how the Second Gulf war and Afghanistan were fought. Mix combatants in with non-combatants, and the enemy either fails to engage your forces, or they mistakenly engage civilians- either way results in a win for your side.

Now we have Fifth Generation: it’s fought virtually. It is a war of information, computers, and artificial intelligence. I think that the people who came up with this concept overlooked the utility of drones. The idea of 5GW is your combatants don’t need to risk death in order to commit to battle. That’s where we are in the US today- and the left is far better at it than the right. That’s really what cancel culture is: this is the left engaging in destroying the right’s will to fight by using means other than actual violent fighting.

It’s becoming quite effective. DJT just gave in and capitulated. The battle for Minneapolis was just lost. We are one step closer to a complete collapse.

Still, some are fighting the good fight. Read on:

Terrorism

Succinylocholine is a paralytic drug used in medicine. Once given, every muscle in a patient’s body is paralyzed- even the ones involved in breathing. A patient given this drug MUST be intubated and placed on a ventilator within minutes, or they will die.

Terrorism defined is:

the unlawful use of violence or threats of violence to intimidate or coerce a government, population, or organization, intending to achieve political, social, or ideological goals by creating fear and influencing actions beyond the immediate victims, often involving criminal acts with symbolic, far-reaching psychological effects.

That’s why this Nurse Anesthotist’s social media post about giving the drug to ICE agents is not a protest, it’s terrorism.

She should be prosecuted for terrorism and stripped of her ability to ever have patients placed in her care.
