Given other historical precedent, there’s nothing wrong with our current government leaders that wouldn’t be solved far more rapidly, by simply chopping 342 of them open with tomahawks and hurling them into the Potomac river-since Boston Harbor is kinda far to toss the bodies
“…and the sad truth is that 95% of the problems we have in this country could be solved tomorrow, by noon… simply by dragging 100 people out in the street and shooting them in the fucking head.” – An anonymous US Marine.
“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government – lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.” ― Patrick Henry
“Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.” — Albert Einstein
“The U.S. government now poses the greatest threat to our freedoms.
More than terrorism, more than domestic extremism, more than gun violence and organized crime, even more than the perceived threat posed by any single politician, the U.S. government remains a greater menace to the life, liberty and property of its citizens than any of the so-called dangers from which the government claims to protect us.” – John W. Whitehead
A blog along some of the same lines as this one, but focused more on the theory rather than wanting to make specific machines. What I’ve read so far has been wonderful. I would highly recommend going through the PDFs linked, and peruse some of the material mentioned in them. The base knowledge of how the modern “paleotechnic” system came about and persists is important to know when seeking to circumvent and replace the it with a more distributed system.
Most production happens in factories and workshops, either here or overseas. Some processes, such as smelting iron, just take facilities not practical to replicate in every AO. Division of labor happens here, and likely a few production cycles can be subverted.
This doesn’t change that a fair amount of delicate work, and skill building training will need a local location with the proper equipment. Restrictions on travel and trade could likely also prevent much besides some raw materials from being transported. A hackerspace/makerspace/fablab is a good place to work around these limitations and provide discrete customization. While some might nitpick on the meanings, the similarities prevent it from being effective. The labs and spaces are intended to bring together little people who might not otherwise be able to afford some of the equipment used, and sometimes expertise. Some are organized in networks, and will have standards that might prevent working…
Someone on WSRA pointed out while talking about shadow infrastructure, most topics, from food to medicine, have been covered, and people are working to make them somewhat “cool” to attract people to working on them. Since no one’s started on it, and it’s more or less what I’ve been trying to focus on in my AO, I thought I’d throw a bit out on engineering.
For our purposes, people who design, and people who make, can be combined, divided simply on skill. Masters design, others help make if needed. People design machines, buildings, electronics, chemicals. Sounding familiar? For the most part, we can lump these into buildings and infrastructure, and devices and doodads. You probably won’t have bachelor’s degrees available in all of the above though, so getting to caught up on names is pointless.
People who fix things won’t have the same expertise as makers, but shouldn’t have to…
Despite Barack Obama’s crystal-clear lie that his is “the most transparent administration in history,” a newly-surfaced video shows MIT Economics Professor Jonathan Gruber, one of the “architects” of Obamacare, admitting just the reverse was used to manipulate public support for the usurpation of delegated federal powers. Gruber’s statement also shows a quite natural and expected conman’s contempt the elites and controllers hold for those they dupe.

“Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage,” Gruber admitted in a televised panel discussion. “And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass.”
The reliance on both deception and an uninformed electorate is the same strategy used by “progressive” gun-grabbers to enact measures like the recently-passed Initiative 594 in Washington State. That fraud was foisted on a public that, in many cases, has no more understanding of the issue than what they have “learned” through complicit media saturation of myths financed by billionaire plutocrats.
Snookering the uninformed-but-opinionated into willingly giving up their rights has proven successful, and will be repeated in other states. And how this was done is … uh … transparent, with big money special interests outspending and drowning out voices of reason, with over $10M raised on the anti-gun measure while only around $1M was raised for the alternative measure I-591.
The technique of inventing lies and intentionally deceiving gullible marks whom the elites consider to be “stupid” will be used again, with lather-rinse-repeat regularity, until gun owners can figure out the best ways to counter it. Those will include education campaigns, grassroots funding, and a strong ground effort, meaning the old ways of remaining apathetic will only guarantee victories for Mike Bloomberg & Co.
In the mean time, the message for Demanding Moms and other useful idiots in Washington State and elsewhere is, you’ve been used and will continue to be. And based on how we’ve seen “progressive” exploiters justify their actions, they didn’t esteem your intelligence or value your worth beforehand, or throughout acts intended solely for their gratification, and they certainly won’t respect you in the morning.
Perhaps that’s one reason those who mean to rule want those servicing them on their knees.”
Fat,dumb and lazy-that’s how team .gov inc. prefers to keep it’s sheeple.
“Tomorrow morning at 4:30 a.m. Pacific Time, “The Gun Wire” — a popular firearms news page that is the equivalent of the Drudge Report for gun-related stories — will re-launch after a six-week hiatus, Examiner has learned, coincidentally as Washington Stategun rights activists prepare their next move after last week’s passage of Initiative 594.
The Gun Wire originally went on line on Aug. 21, 2011. Over the past three years, more than 150,000 gun-related news stories were posted on the site, which saw huge numbers of page views, in the neighborhood of two million a month, according to founder Todd Bergin.”
Cameras: the great equalizer. Behold Deputy Sgt. Shawn R. Glans (No, I am not making that up… how appropriate) getting his panties in a wad after being told to uphold the law and obtain a search warrant. You see, these two nitwits (Adam Roberts and Colin Fitch) reportedly had left a .22 rifle on the back seat of their car in the Peoples Socialist Republic of NewYorkistan. Not a good move boys…
But, Deputy Sgt. Pencil-Dick shows up – for whatever reason – and wants to get into the parked, locked car. Stasi theatre of the Absurd ensues:
Now, the stress of the day-to-day that may have caused the fine deputy’s lapse in judgement may have been compounded by the paltry compensation he endured – $87,156 in 2014 – exacerbated by the fact that he only got a $7,000 raise (or overtime?) in the past year. I.e:
The kind of person who should be effecting military policy? Or, any?
How many New Hampshirites will see this before voting today? How about Minnesotans; will more than a few care?
Published late last night by Daily Caller, linked below, but we draw the second excerpt to show the conspiratorial nature of lupine Marxoids in U.S. senators’ wool suits (emphasis added):
Democratic New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen was principally involved in a plot with Lois Lerner and President Barack Obama’s political appointee at the IRS to lead a program of harassment against conservative nonprofit groups during the 2012 election, according to letters exclusively obtained by The Daily Caller.
“Calling her “an under-the-radar contender to become the first black woman to head the Justice Department,” a Thursday Associated Press profile on United State Attorney Loretta Lynch leaves more questions than answers. She’s “low-profile,” we are told. She doesn’t generally talk to the media. She doesn’t give many speeches.
With that being the case, how are all of us, but gun owners in particular, supposed to determine whether or not she would be an acceptable nominee, and if we should reward or punish our Senators for rejecting or confirming her if she is put forth? What is it we can infer, what is it we know, and what is it we need to determine before we can make an informed assessment?
The fact that she’s an Eastern District of New York prosecutor needs to be a big red flag, but not an automatic disqualifier. After all, Alex Kozynski is Chief Justice of the “liberal” Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals headquartered in San Francisco, and he’s the guy whose dissenting opinion in Silveira v Lockyer included the astoundingly refreshing observation that “the simple truth—born of experience—is that tyranny thrives best where government need not fear the wrath of an armed people.”
