FEDS OUT: “The essence… won’t be to replace or break away from the state, rather, it will be to hollow it out.” – John Robb, BNW
Posted: February 18, 2015 by gamegetterII in UncategorizedIt’s Almost Time to Start Your Garden Plants That Have to be Started Indoors
Posted: February 14, 2015 by gamegetterII in UncategorizedI start my peppers and tomatoes indoors around the first week of March,in NE Ohio-and plant them around mid-May,that means they’ll be big enough plants to survive the light frosts we occasionally get here into May,or I can cover them with plastic in case we get a hard frost-like we did a few years back over Memorial Day weekend.
I use mainly heirloom seeds,because you can not save the seeds from hybrid plants for the next year,due to the fact that you will get very few or no vegetables off the plants that do grow from saved hybrid seeds.
Let’s say late summer/early fall is when some kind of SHTF event takes place,something that’s not gonna be over with by spring-and you have a garden full of plants grown from hybrid seed-and nowhere to go buy seed for spring.
How are you going to grow any vegetables to feed yourself and your family?
You won’t be able to because hybrid seeds are only good for one year’s crop.
If you had a garden full of plants grown from heirloom seeds,you would be fine,as heirloom seeds can be saved,and you will get the same great yields that you got from the plants you saved the seeds from.
Another thing I do is keep enough seed on hand to plant the same amount of vegetables I normally plant for two years,that way if I lose most of a crop-or even the whole crop for whatever reason-I still have the seed to re-plant the following spring.
I’ll be buying my seed from Jebadiah Fisher Garden Seed,it’s all heirloom seed,no hybrid seed,so no one year only harvest-you can save the seeds from this year’s crop to plant next years crop,something you an not do when you hybrid seed,like just about all the seeds at your local big box home center are.
Then there’s the fact that Jebadiah Fisher Garden Seed is a Patriot owned business-and we all need to support patriot and locally owned businesses.
Wirecutter told me he was amazed at the amount of vegetables his plants produced when he used their seed,that’s another plus to heirloom seeds-people saved the seeds from only the plants that produced the best yields for years,after many,many years of doing this-the heirloom varieties of seeds produce the best yields and have the best flavor. Once you plant with only heirloom seeds-you’ll never go back to using hybrid seed again.
Check out the site,go ahead and compare prices-I did-and you’ll see that you are getting more than a fair price,and you get a superior product-give them a try-you won’t be disappointed…
Porretto-Klingon cloaking device / Jihad’s Ace Cards Unmasked
Posted: February 14, 2015 by gamegetterII in Uncategorized
If wrapped in religion, subversion is well shielded. To the public, the nexus between faith and tyranny is difficult to imagine. The still prevailing naïve belief is that religion’s advocates must be “good” because all religions want what is good.Taboos that express free-of-fact sentiments protect whatever hides behind religion. Do religions not honor God or Allah? Could the servants of religion be not as pure as claimed? Is it not so that all faiths are “right”, that they should not be judged, and that they deserve deference? This recasts radicals as committed to do good in their struggle with evil. If it is uncertain which religion is the path to God, then how can we condemn [that which] claims to serve our common God?

Jihad’s Ace Cards Unmasked
“Advanced societies find it difficult to respond to Islam’s fundamentalists. The credit is not due to the fanatics. Yes, the cards they hold are used ruthlessly and cleverly and they score spectacularly. However, the real super-weapon of the radicals is their victim’s mind-set.
Our professional wise guys are at a loss. How is the violence generated in a Muslim context to be registered without insulting its source? We have here something that, by our culture’s prejudice, should not exist. Moreover, rationally evaluated, Islamism is self-destructive. Such calculations reflect our civilization’s parochial inability to comprehend those defined by a “stone age” past. The reaction is “We would not act that way; how come that they do?” That astonishment provokes a search for the normal world’s contribution that must have provoked what appears to be irrational.
Handicapped by the lobotomy by PC surgeons, Western Civilization is unable and unwilling to face Muslim radicalism. Decadent liberalism finds it safer to fight Hitler retroactively. The shots are fired at the wrong target or the challenge is met by avoidance. Reverses result and bring more than shame. They signal a lacking will to survive to those that doubt the legitimacy of our way of life.”

Over the years, we’ve covered our share of locked-up-bucks stories here at Whitetail 365. But the best tales are rarely about the entangled bucks themselves, and more about the “what the heck do I do now?” dilemma faced by the folks who find them.
Of course, if untangling a pair of tangled bucks was easy, the deer would have figured it out by themselves. They need help, but helping them is a bear. The bucks are desperate. They’re maxed out on adrenaline and in complete survival mode; they’ll kick, gore, or maim anything they see standing between themselves and survival.
Sawing the antlers of at least one of the bucks is the most logical way to free them, but if you’ve got a brain in your head, you recognize this is a dangerous activity. We’ve seen people trying to tie them down and keep their distance while they saw the antler(s) of at least one of the bucks with a chain- or pole-saw…All are heroic deeds, and we applaud the folks who get by with such daring acts.
But leave it to a policeman to get it right. When the officers at the South Minnetonka Lakes (MN) police department received a call about a pair of locked-up whitetails, they used a stun-gun (yeah, the same instrument in the don’t-taze-me-bro lunacy of a few years back) to subdue the survivor while they zipped in with a Sawzall to lop off enough antler to free the survivor.

Houses hot off the 3D printer
Posted: February 13, 2015 by gamegetterII in UncategorizedTags: 3-D printed houses, architecture, building technology, constrution techniques, emerging technologies, engineering
In the not-too-distant future, building a new home may be as simple as printing it out.
The process of wielding 3D printers to make homes is in its infancy today, but someday soon you may look out your window at a large-scale printer, swiftly spitting out a whole home under the instruction of just one operator.
“Generally, they’ll be much cheaper, much faster, much safer and with much nicer architectural features [than traditional homes],” says Dr. Behrokh Khoshnevis, creator of and lead researcher for Contour Crafting, one of the leading companies working on scaling 3D-printed homes for the masses.
A 3D printer from the WASProject (which stands for World’s Advanced Saving Project) builds walls at the Maker Faire …
It’s really not as crazy as it sounds. There are 3D printers making dishes, building furniture and repairing appliances right now. But a home needs a much bigger printer.
On any scale, 3D printing works like this: Someone creates a three-dimensional digital design and sends it to the printer, where it’s translated into something called a “G-code” file that slices a 3D design into thin layers.
The printer also contains the building material, which in the case of large-scale printing can be plastic or cement – any sturdy material that can go from solid to liquid and back again. The material is melted or liquefied within the printer, and layer by layer the printer follows a path until the object in the 3D digital design is completely constructed. The layers build upon one another and solidify as they cool.
Using this kind of technology for home construction may be a few years out, but it’s already in use in a few select projects around the world, from an artistic, design-driven canal house in Amsterdam to a utilitarian operation that can churn out a house in just one day in China.
Still, a lot of details have to be worked out before this technology is launched on a large scale. Factors like fireproofing, insulation and waterproofing are still in testing stages for many projects.
And in most cases, no building codes regulate the materials and construction processes used to print buildings, nor are there industry standards or best practices yet that builders can rely on. Every element — printers, software, building materials — is evolving.
Here are some of the more notable projects…
When DUS Architects in Amsterdam was looking for new ways to make home design interesting, the firm decided to craft an experimental 3D printer. They wanted to build something grand, so they selected a spot along the Buiksloterkanaal to build a traditional canal house, mimicking the iconic traditionally-built canal homes throughout the city.
The KamerMaker on site in Amsterdam at night.
The group came up with the KamerMaker (or room-builder in English). It works exactly like a small-scale 3D printer, with a digital design being translated into a G-code. The printer moves along the designated path and spits out the material – in this case a special bioplastics granulate.
Although the technology is a work in progress, DUS has designed a house that will use the KamerMaker to print rooms using the recycled bioplastic materials. The 13 rooms will form a nearly 50-foot-high, 20-foot-wide, plastic house when they are stacked on top of each other.
Construction on the actual house began in March and is expected to last for about three years – not a quick process. But the process is a vehicle for learning, DUS says.
According to Tosja Backer, who manages the project for DUS, people started coming by to watch and offer advice before construction on the house even began. That’s when the project became a “co-creation platform.”
A rendering of what DUS Architects hopes to create with its 3D Print Canal House.
“We are a platform much more than we are just a firm building a house,” Backer says. “We don’t know all the answers yet, but we now have lots of people to help us with that. The key to it is research by doing. It’s really a research project. We find solutions we couldn’t have found if we didn’t print it.”
In the end, Backer says, the idea is to be able to create an adequate living space fairly quickly using reusable plastics. That way, the technology could be used to help people, particularly after disasters. In that case, the homes could be built quickly and cheaply and then melted down when they’re no longer useful. The very same plastic that was used to build those temporary homes could be used to build more homes after another disaster.
Total Kustom’s cement castle
Though not technically a home, contractor Andrey Rudenko built this DIY small castle using a 3D printer he designed …
A contractor in Shorewood, Minnesota, had an interest in 3D printers and decided to go out and design one of his own using a computer, steel rails, motors and chains.
The printer – invented by contractor Andrey Rudenko, who calls it an “extruder” – spits out a special, very viscous blend of concrete and sand. The printer currently fits inside a two-car garage, although Rudenko is looking to make it smaller as he improves on the design.
Rudenko can program this self-made printer to print layers of concrete in patterns he designs.
Recently, he used his printer to create a large-scale, 12-foot-tall, 3D castle in his backyard, which, while technically not a home, operates on the same principles as 3D-printed homes and is the most notable example of how 3D-printed structures could become DIY projects.
Just like the homes, the castle is printed in parts and then assembled.
The castle stands mostly on its own, but Rudenko did place steel bars throughout the structure as extra support for the cement-printed parts. He also added some tower details on top of the castle after the fact, which were printed separately and then lifted onto the main structure. The castle was finished in late August.
Rudenko says his next project will be a two-story, 32-foot-by-50-foot, 3D-printed house.
Fine-tuning architectural features is also one of the main focuses of the 3D Print Canal House project, Backer says.
“With the technique that we use, you can create lots of different forms that you can’t get when you use a cast or mold. … Different structures that we’ve printed, you can integrate into your design,” she says. “The cool thing is you totally bridge the gap between design and production. You can make each design unique again.”
Win Sun’s printed-overnight homes
A Win Sun home can be printed in 24 hours.
Arguably the project with the most real-world results is one by Win Sun, a company in China that has already printed 10 houses in Shanghai.
All 10 houses were printed in less than 24 hours at a cost of about $5,000 each.
Unlike Rudenko’s castle project, Win Sun created building blocks instead of layering the base of the whole home at once. Using a cement and glass mixture in diagonally reinforced patterns, the huge printer (about 22 feet tall and 33 feet wide) can very rapidly put out these building blocks.
Win Sun’s 3D printing in progress.
The company used its large-scale 3D printer in a factory, then transported the fabricated blocks to the housing site where they were assembled into actual homes.
Win Sun hopes to use the technology for cheap, fast, low-income housing. According to Runji Shen, a marketer for the Win Sun project, 3D-printed homes of the future will be constructed in weeks – and for far less money than homes cost to build now.
The company says it’s in talks with several construction companies in the U.S. about potentially exporting printers and technology.

Understanding The Fear Of Self-Defense And Revolution, by Brandon Smith
Posted: February 12, 2015 by gamegetterII in Uncategorized
From Brandon Smith, at alt-market.com:
Our era is a strange one when considering how social attitudes have developed in such a contrary fashion to the rest of history. I think that our forefathers would look upon our current culture with bewilderment when confronted with the fact that our generation has all but abandoned the option of physical rebellion as a tool for social change. Even among the most enslaved of nations and peoples, the idea of revolution has been held in regard as an entirely moral and principled affair involving every individual, no matter their age or economic station. Today, however, that which we call “revolution” has been delegated mostly to college-age intellectuals and has been so watered down and whitewashed with politically correct restrictions that the concept is hardly recognizable.
I believe the civil rights movements in America and in India in the 20th century have in many ways…

Perhaps the journalistic situation is not hopeless (see “Lies, Damn Lies, and the Mainstream Media,” SLL, 2/9/15). Monday, The Wall Street Journal printed two guest columns in its Opinion section that amounted to an admission that the outside-the-mainstream media is drawing blood. The first, “The Dangerous Lie That ‘Bush Lied’,” was from Laurence H. Silberman, a federal judge who was the co-chairman of the Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction. Mr. Silberman asserted that President George W. Bush did not knowingly lie about Iraqi WMDs to get the US into war with Iraq, but rather in good faith relied on faulty intelligence, which Silverman’s commission concluded was “dead wrong.”
Give Mr. Silberman his contention that Bush acted in good faith. The column still concedes defeat on what was a fringe position back then but which has become the accepted truth…

Sisters in arms: Kurdish women in front line against IS
Posted: February 11, 2015 by gamegetterII in Uncategorized
Paris (AFP) – Meet Nassrin Abdallah. With her diminutive height and broad smile, it doesn’t seem like she should strike fear into the hearts of hardened Islamic State jihadists.
But this 36-year-old Syrian Kurd woman has been at the tip of the spear of the Kurdish forces that last month liberated the symbolic city of Kobane from IS militants.
“In Kobane, women were fighting on all fronts, in all the trenches against a brutal enemy,” she told cheering crowds during a visit to Paris this week.
As the head of the armed wing of the Kurdish PYD, “commander” Nassrin has led both men and women into battle against Islamic State fighters who have overrun large areas of Iraq and Syria.
“We kept the promise we made to the people and we won the day,” she said to thunderous applause.
According to Nassrin, around 40 percent of the Kurdish fighters battling over the town on the Syrian-Turkish border were women.
Some, like her, are hardened warriors but also joining their ranks were mothers who sent their children over the border to the safety of Turkey, then rushed off to join their sisters in arms.
Fighting alongside Nassrin are other powerful female commanders who have achieved legendary status on the battlefield.
Women like Narine Afrin, who played a key role in the defence of Kobane. Or Arin Mirkan, who blew herself up on October 5, killing dozens of IS fighters encircling the town, according to Kurdish sources.
In total, there are 4,000 women fighting in the armed wing of the PYD, say Kurdish officials, who refuse for strategic reasons to disclose the total number of people who have taken up arms.
