I just added a new training manual to the Training Manuals page (link at the top of this blog).
The manual is FM 3-39.40 Internment and Resettlement operations.
Take a look at the training manuals. If they are worth a couple of bucks to you, there is a Patreon link at the bottom of the page. If there are manuals you would like to see, let me know in comments below.
The terrorist organization called the “Not Fucking Around Coalition” or NFAC, now has a body count. A police officer who was shot by one of its members on June 23 has died of his injuries. The member who did the shooting has a long, violent criminal history. He was fairly well indoctrinated by the black community justice industry.
The criminal charges for this critter have been increased to first degree murder. I’m usually against the death penalty because I don’t believe that we can trust the government to prosecute a case honestly and without shenanigans. In this case, however, it looks pretty cut and dried. Looking at his extensive history, I don’t think he is redeemable. Fry his ass. Better yet, let Biden send his ass to Afghanistan.
Biden is catching some pretty serious criticism for the situation in Afghanistan. Even his faithful supporters at CNN ran the headline “Joe Biden is facing a crisis of competence”.
Russia and China, who so far have been the only two counties to officially recognize the Taliban government, are said to be courting the Taliban as Western Powers scramble to flee. This is being played as a victory for America’s enemies and a defeat for Biden.
Biden’s approval ratings are tanking. His numbers are worse than Trump’s were. The economy is going south. Inflation is running rampant.
What else will it take? Is this enough to see Biden be forced out in disgrace? I don’t think it is. I think that there are a few more things that have to play out before there is enough to force Biden out.
Yes, all of this could mean that we are seeing the early stages of preparations for President Super Spreader Harris. As I recently said over at Gunfreezone, whoever had August or September for the Presidential Blog Poll should be double checking the dates that they picked. I just don’t think there is enough there, yet.
Not only will there have to be a loss of confidence in Biden’s leadership, there has to be something that happens with it that will take America’s attention away from everything else, especially away from the economy. It will have to be big, bigger than simply removing Biden from the Oval Office.
Will we see a terrorist attack in the US? What form will it take? Will it be an Afghani? Or will it be a Trump supporter?
I just don’t know, but I think that we are in for a HUGE surprise within the next few weeks.
This is what a failed foreign policy looks like
When Obama’s special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke, asked then-Vice President Biden about the American duty to protect vulnerable Afghan civilians, Biden shot back with “Fuck that, we don’t have to worry about that. We did it in Vietnam, Nixon and Kissinger got away with it.”
Biden, as it turns out, left as many as 10,000 Americans behind in Afghanistan. No one really knows for sure.
“American citizens’ houses have been ransacked, and they are in hiding because the Taliban are terrorizing and tormenting neighborhoods. That’s happening all over Kabul,” a “senior GOP congressional staffer” told Rogin, noting that their office had been “fielding calls” from desperate Americans left on the ground. “There are a lot of people who are falling through the cracks. [The administration] didn’t have a plan to handle this on a mass scale…For the people in Kabul, they’ve basically said it’s up to them to get to the airport.”
The US government has a fine tradition of leaving behind those whose purpose no longer serves their goals. The current Administration has no plans to get these Americans out, and I would guess that the faster they disappear and fall out of the news cycle, the faster Biden and the MSM can get back to the Great Reset.
There were nearly eight times as many troops guarding the 435 members of Congress from their own constituents than there are guarding the airport to get the 10,000 Americans out of Kabul.
One of the people left behind is a friend of mine. She was sent there as a contractor, and once they were done with her and the other Americans who were sent there, they were discarded like yesterday’s newspaper. But, hey, at least you don’t have to read Trump’s mean Tweets any longer.
EDITED TO ADD:
So now it appears as though there are at least 10,000 and as many as 40,000 Americans trapped in Afghanistan.
As many in the press try to downplay the Taliban’s atrocities, some stories of the horrors that are being carried out are leaking out of Afghanistan.
Americans on the left began showing their stupidity almost immediately:
Meanwhile, stories of forced marriages and executions continue to come out of the country. Those who live in the Capitol are facing searches, checkpoints, and beatings.
This is what happens when a war becomes not just about power, but involves tribal and religious implications. This could easily be our future here in the US: A victorious left, taking your children to be a part of their sexual fantasy. Don’t think that’s possible?
As a teacher, I was often provided with pro-homosexuality teaching materials with instructions to “push” this on children. I refused. Here is one of the handouts I was given, with instructions to deliver lessons on homosexuality to kids. Note that there are resources on there for K-5 children. They are trying to sex up your kids, even at 6 years old!
We are in the middle of a war, a revolution. This is just one of the things that the victors want.
I know that this makes me sound like a raving lunatic. You don’t have to take my word for it- click on the links above. Read the handout that I embedded above. Visit the websites on it.
We are in a fight, not only for the survival of this nation, but for the very souls of our children.
Don’t let the President say that he wasn’t for a large troop presence in Afghanistan. He was more hawkish than Bush, Obama, or Trump on sending troops there.
Of course, he would have had you believe that he was involved in combat there himself, if you remember him telling the story about how he had found the Taliban when helicopter being forced down in the mountains of Afghanistan.
This is the written form of a bit of training that I did for the Florida Blogshoot back in March. This is not intended to be a replacement for actual training from a quality instructor. This is a quick summary of what I have been trained to do, trained others to do, and have done during my more than 30 years’ experience as a street medic and educator. This is also not a comprehensive guide to treating gunshot wounds. What this is, is a way to make a difference in a scenario where you are the witness to a person getting shot, first aid, as it were. I hope that it is useful, just as I hope that it won’t be necessary.
You have a limited amount of time to carry out the steps below. A serious wound can cause your patient to bleed to death in less than one minute. If you have the means, practice this skill. You don’t want to have the first time you do it to be when it is needed.
When a person is shot, your first priority is to make the scene as safe as you can for yourself, the person shot, and any other rescuers. If on a range, immediately call for a cease fire. If in a violent encounter, return fire. Suppress that incoming, eliminate the others shooting, whatever you need to do to make the incoming fire slack off so that you can get yourself and the victim out of the line of fire and to cover. That includes having the victim fire his weapon at the enemy, if possible.
Call for help. Call 911, call for a medical unit, whatever. You are not gonna want to stay here forever with this casualty. Eventually they will need more care than you can provide. Call for it now.
Once the victim is out of the immediate line of fire and help is on the way, do a quick assessment. Where are they shot? How many times were they shot? Are they bleeding? Are the still breathing? If, seconds after being shot, they have already stopped breathing, the OVERWHELMING stats say that no matter what you will do, they won’t make it. Sorry, but those are the facts. Now, if you are not under fire, it doesn’t hurt to do CPR at this point, but if you are in a firefight, performing CPR has just eliminated at least two people from the fight.
If they are breathing, look at where they are shot: the torso, or an extremity? Be thorough. Don’t let the obvious, gruesome wound distract you from one that is less obvious. Don’t overlook the fact that one bullet can leave two holes: an entry wound, and an exit wound. That same bullet can pass through one body structure and strike others. I have seen a bullet pass through a person’s leg, and strike the other leg. Likewise, pass through an arm and enter the chest. Expose the wound area. That means cutting off the victim’s clothes. EMTs are taught to get their patients “trauma naked.” That means strip them down to their underwear (or less, if indicated)
If they were shot in an extremity, press a bandage impregnated with a clotting agent (preferably QuikClot, but Celox is also acceptable) to the wound. Press firmly. If the bleeding stops, put a dressing over it, like the Israeli Combat dressing, so that it stays in place. Don’t try to remove the dressing once you get the bleeding stopped- there is a clot there, and we want it to stay in place.
If that Quikclot dressing doesn’t stop the bleeding within 30 seconds, put a tourniquet on the extremity. Quickly. The one that I carry is a CAT. I like them for the ease and speed of use, and I own probably 6 or 8 of these. I have actually used them on people who have been shot, and they work. Place it at least 4 inches closer to the torso than the gunshot wound, if possible. Crank it tighter until the bleeding stops. Yes, it will hurt.
I once treated a woman who was shot 13 times with a 9mm, and had a total of 48 bullet holes in her (some bullets went through both legs). After being shot and left for dead, she crawled to a neighbor’s house and begged for help. I didn’t have enough QuikClot bandages to plug all of the holes, so she got a pair of tourniquets, a handful of trauma bandages, and an air evac. She was rushed to trauma surgery and made a full recovery.
If the wound is on the torso (the neck is part of the torso, for this purpose, but the head is not) then you need to be aware of the possibility of air being sucked into the torso. This sets up other problems, so we want to avoid that. Bleeding control is less of a problem, because most bleeding in the torso is going to be internal bleeding that isn’t controlled with pressure or tourniquets.
So in the case of a torso wound, put an occlusive dressing on it. I really like the Hyfin Chest seal. (It comes in packs of two- entry and exit wound, remember?) Just put the center of the dressing on the hole, and press the glue down onto the skin. If the patient has a sucking chest wound, you may have just saved them. If he doesn’t, the occlusive dressing won’t hurt them or make things worse.
So at this point, you might be saying to yourself, “What about wounds to the head?” and that is a great question. Head injuries are tricky, and are even worse when those injuries are caused by high speed projectiles. A gunshot wound to the head is survivable, especially if the bullet doesn’t enter the brain cavity. Many wounds to the face, while disfiguring, are survivable. You can also write a book with all of the things and ways that head injuries need to be treated. I myself have seen a few cases where bullets wrecked teeth, facial bones, and more, but the patient was alive and awake. It can happen.
The main treatment here is to stop the bleeding while making sure that the person’s airway doesn’t fill up with debris: blood, tissue, and teeth can all block the airway and make things tricky. Try to use the Quikclot dressing on facial injuries, keeping in mind that the airway needs to be open.
For God’s sake, don’t use a tourniquet and be careful with the use of pressure because there is a possibility of skull fractures. For that reason, controlling bleeding of the face is a great idea, on the skull, not so much. A person isn’t likely to bleed to death from a skull injury. If a bullet has hit a major artery in the skull, they are more likely to die from other things than they are from blood loss.
As usual, my disclaimer: I have no profit motive or stake in the products that I recommend here. The only reason that I recommend them is because I use them and consider them to be quality products at a reasonable price. I don’t make any money if you buy them, nor does anyone that I know, to the best of my knowledge.
We in the medical field have a tendency to criticize and critique. Before any of my medical brethren take a crack at this post, I ask that you do a couple of things: Review the recommendations of the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC) and the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians. They are two of the leading agencies for prehospital care of trauma victims.
QuikClot impregnated Combat gauze is recommended by the CoTCCC and the NAEMT as the first choice for hemostatic dressing of uncontrolled hemorrhage. Celox Gauze & ChitoGauze may be used if Combat Gauze is not available. They worked as effectively as QuikClot Combat gauze in laboratory testing, but neither ChitoGauze nor Celox Gauze have been tested in the USAISR safety model. Chitosan-based hemostatic dressings have been used in combat since 2004 with no safety issues reported.
Since the two largest bodies recommend the use of QuikClot as the first line clotting agent, that is what I recommend when I conduct training.
Remember also that medical doctors and nurses don’t think like prehopsital providers because they aren’t. What happens in the field, especially in situations where bullets are flying, is a completely different kind of medicine than what happens in a hospital.
What is the difference between former President Trump, The Gateway Pundit, Milo Yiannopolous, Project Veritas, Mike Lindell and the Taliban? The Taliban is the only one that is still permitted to post on Twitter.
President Donald Trump (@realDonaldTrump) was permanently suspended “due to the risk of further incitement of violence.”
Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow, was permanently banned for unspecified “repeated violations” of Twitter’s “civic integrity policy”
