This is the most important story SLL will post this month, or maybe ever. It’s an honor to post it. Read it beginning to end and study the pictures. This is the story Americans don’t want to hear, and these are pictures from which they avert their eyes. From Fleabaggs, a Vietnam War veteran:
I have started to write this a hundred times in 49 years. I would like to have used Our War but don’t want to presume to speak for all us Nam Vets still alive who were really there for a year or more. Nor can I speak for all the families of Nam Vets and all the millions of Vietnamese whose major crime was living in Vietnam at the time.
I do presume to speak for myself and my dead buddies who told me their stories as we commiserated in a dark corner of a seedy gin mill…

From “My War,” by Fleabaggs:
One of my closest buddies from school got drafted and found himself in Bumdeal Vietnam where nothing ever happened. He’s standing in a wet trench in the Monsoon for hours every day waiting for nothing to happen. Then he gets to go back to a smelly sandbag hooch to rest and his buddy is escaping to La La Land with some pot and a squeeze tube of morphine from a kit. 3 months later he’s sharpening his needle on a nail file and cooking smack over a Zippo, wondering how this happened. He’ll be able to quit pretty easy when he gets home he thought. But I just can’t go back out there tonight without it. Just 8 more months. On the flight home he gathered up what little dignity and self-respect he had left, thinking that he was still a hero for…

Another Failed Republican Revolution, by Laurence M. Vance
Posted: May 18, 2017 by gamegetterII in UncategorizedThe Republicans have compiled a dismal record of failure, repudiating most if not all of their supposed ideological premises. From Laurence M. Vance at lewrockwell.com:
Another Republican revolution has now failed.
A Republican revolution can be defined as a time when Republicans gained control of both Houses of Congress and therefore were in a position to severely limit the federal government.
There have been five Republican revolutions in modern times, and they have all ended in failure.
The first Republican revolution occurred in 1946 when Republicans regained control of both Houses of Congress after four elections of FDR to the presidency and years of Democratic rule. With a Democrat in the White House (Harry Truman), their hands were somewhat tied, and they lost control of the Congress in the next election. Unfortunately, however, the Republicans joined with Truman in passing the National Security Act of 1947 which created the CIA…

Posted: May 18, 2017 by gamegetterII in UncategorizedThe Bizarre Story Behind the FBI’s Fake Documentary About the Bundy Family
Posted: May 17, 2017 by gamegetterII in UncategorizedThe picture shows the flywheel off an old 8hp Briggs and Stratton engine.
The piece of steel with the big bolt in center and two smaller long bolts is the flywheel puller I made in about a half hour- 45 minutes.
I originally made the puller for pulling a hub and bearing off an old tractor.
I just took the piece of steel and drilled and tapped center hole for big bolt- that’s what applies force to shaft. The original outer two holes were for pulling hub and bearing off tractor axle shaft.
To make it into flywheel puller I only had to drill two new holes and use two long 1/4-20 bolts with stop nuts. The bolts threaded into the two holes in flywheel.
Used a ratchet with correct socket for bolt and after threading two long bolts into tapped holes in flywheel, kept tightening bolt until flywheel popped loose.
This is the kind of stuff you need to be able to figure out and make in your garage/ shop.
If you ain’t mechanically inclined- get someone in your group who is.
This puller was easy to make and the only specialized tool was the tap.
I have thousands of nuts, bolts, washers and lots of pieces of angle iron, round stock steel, sheet steel and bar stock steel.
I save stuff like that for times like when I needed to make pullers for various reasons, and for when I need to make repairs on equipment or vehicles.
Helps to have a welder and cutting torches.
For this little project I only needed a cut off wheel on angle grinder to cut thick chunk of steel, drill press with right sized bits, and I used bench grinder to round off sharp edges, plus the tap and oil for drill bits and tap.
