In case you need to hear this

A man in South Carolina fired shots at a group of Trump supporters that included children. What began as protests and attacks aimed at police and government buildings and expanded to rioting and looting has lately morphed into attacks on residential areas and targeting defenseless individuals. 


As we are all aware, violent acts began in the Minneapolis before moving to Seattle and Portland. Those acts have since expanded to Colorado, Texas, New Mexico, Wisconsin, South Carolina, and other places. Diners are now being accosted while eating dinner, and so-called “peaceful” protesters are now openly and routinely brandishing weapons, including firearms. 

Chances of favorable outcome or appeasement of what appear to be professional insurgents is very doubtful. This situation coupled with statements of the Antifa/BLM/RevCom movements and the forces that they control indicate in our opinion that a surprise aggressive movement in any direction including attack on unarmed and helpless residential areas or even schools is a possibility. Extreme care is necessary in order not to complicate an already tense situation.

Beware of common items that are being used as weapons, such as skateboards. Attackers are known to be using press credentials and other noncombatant disguises to lull targets into complacency. 


Carry hearing protection and weapons wherever possible. 


Avoid travel to large cities in the run up to the election. 


Ensure that you have at least half a tank of fuel at a minimum. 

Keep your head on a swivel. 

This explains it

Rioting may be mostly peaceful, but use of punctuation is violence, according to a recent study.

According to experts, youngsters used to communicating electronically break up their thoughts by sending each one as a separate message, rather than using a full stop, which they use only to signal they are annoyed or irritated. 

So there you go. Stop using punctuation, you violent boomers.

Organized insurgency

I have been making the case for awhile that the BLM, Antifa, etc. insurgency is heavily organized and funded. It really is looking like they have a serious bit of professional organization. Sure, they claim to not be an organized group, but a closer look reveals that they are as organized as the US military.

The NATO militaries use the Continental Staff system, which organizes staff functions like this:

S1 manpower or personnel: They have active recruitment on college campuses.

S2 intelligence security: They are using organized sigint against the police by using scanners. They have people online that are making lists, gathering intel, then passing it along.

S3 operations: See below

S4 logistics: There have field kitchens, along with factories (staffed by volunteers) to manufacture shields. Pallets of bricks being delivered ahead of protests.

S5 plans See below

S6 communications: They are using encrypted communications to coordinate efforts at both the tactical and strategic level. They are also using social media to great effect as both a way to attract more followers and as a way to get the word out on evolving situations in a rapid manner.

S7 education and training. There are web training sites, and in person training sessions.

S8 finance: They have a fund set up for bailing out arrested members.

S9 civil affairs. They have people calling themselves journalists who carefully don’t photograph faces, tattoos, or other identifying features to protect the insurgents. An obvious production of propaganda. Snopes itself seems to be promoting much of the propaganda by simply denying all of the evidence of this organized activity. 

The also have a JAG corps to provide legal assistance.

They are displaying all sorts of capabilities. It isn’t just laser pointers and rocks. They are also engaging in such force multipliers as jamming police radio communications  in Minnesota, Illinois and Texas.

Operations and planning were the only areas where I couldn’t find verifiable articles or links. However, considering the highly organized and methodical way that this is being carried out, I would suggest that there is a significant command and control structure in place. Any other links would be appreciated.

What is violence? What constitutes force?

In a post last week I made a flippant comment about people shooting masks onto people’s faces, where I said that this was a good way to get shot. TCK pointed out that such a gun was unlikely to be treated as a threat that would permit a lethal response, and of course he is correct. That got me to thinking about what is going on in this country, where the left seems to be walking the line and using force with impunity. This made me realize how badly we are currently losing in the revolution they have started.

Let’s begin with “mostly peaceful protest,” the term they are using to describe open warfare.

Mostly peaceful means what, exactly? The does that mean most of the people present didn’t engage in violence? We know that the US military in Iraq had fewer than a quarter of them in combat. Does that mean it was a mostly peaceful war?

What exactly is violence? If I put a gun to your head and demand your money and you hand it over without me having to shoot you, was that a peaceful robbery?

So is a crowd of  150 communist insurgents carrying rifles while screaming threats at unarmed motorists a peaceful protest? Or would you consider the threat of violence without actually carrying it out to be peaceful?

The communist mobs are getting very good at walking the line between legal technicalities and actual crimes. They have their own JAG corps. They have funds established for bailing out those who are arrested.

I don’t even know if it is illegal to shine a high powered laser into someone’s eyes, as long as the laser isn’t designed to indicate or mark an object, the target isn’t operating a vehicle. In Florida, a laser is not a weapon. A weapon is defined as:

any dirk, knife, metallic knuckles, slungshot, billie, tear gas gun, chemical weapon or device, or other deadly weapon except a firearm or a common pocketknife, plastic knife, or blunt-bladed table knife.

It appears that the best you can do is try to get them for simple battery, but that requires the prosecutor to prove that the person with the laser intended to injure, and not merely annoy. 

784.03 Battery; felony battery.—
(1)(a) The offense of battery occurs when a person:
1. Actually and intentionally touches or strikes another person against the will of the other; or
2. Intentionally causes bodily harm to another person.
(b) Except as provided in subsection (2), a person who commits battery commits a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

Even then, it is only a misdemeanor for a first offense. Since it may not even be a crime, defending yourself from this assault is problematic and, even if you only use nonlethal means such a pepper spray, there is a very good chance you will be in more trouble than your attacker. At the very least, you will lay out serious money for your defense attorney.
Likewise for morons yelling in your ears with a megaphone. Likely to cause hearing damage, but there isn’t really anything you can do about it. 
The left appears to be walking right up to the legal line and carefully not crossing it. They are counting on the fact that the right is largely law abiding as their primary insurance against getting their ass kicked. They then claim that this is “nonviolence.” For example, when they cruise through your neighborhood at 2 in the a.m. screaming and chanting in a stated attempt to wake you up and inconvenience you. 
They snatch signs from children and intimidate them, but don’t actually cross the line and strike them. 
They are proving that the letter of the law has loopholes that allow people to use force and violence, or at least the threat of them, to control and intimidate others.

The question is, what do we do about it?

Equality of talent versus opportunity

There is this commercial that comes on frequently for Southern New Hampshire University. I abhor this commercial. Check it out:

“The world equally distributes talent, but it doesn’t equally distribute opportunity.” What a load of manure. So all that separated me from becoming Michael Jordan was opportunity? The fact that I didn’t become an NBA star is not because I am a short white guy who can’t jump. Nope, all that separated me from being the next NBA All star was that no one gave me the opportunity.

According to this theory, we have all been granted the same physical abilities, intelligence, susceptibility to disease, and other abilities. The only thing separating us is that no one gave us a fair shot.

This is pure communist propaganda. This is what lends validity to the communists over at BLM when they claim that the only reason they are not successful in life is that someone must have discriminated and conspired against them. This belief that we are all born equal is where the demand for equality of outcome originates.

Nope. Just nope.

High on the list of stupid and dangerous ideas:

Some have resisted [wearing masks] which inspired Allen Pan to invent a gun that quickly shoots a mask on to the face of those not taking this whole thing seriously.

Fuck around and find out what happens.

 If malls were to instead employ armed gangs brandishing these face mask blasters, the number of people voluntarily wearing masks would undoubtedly dramatically rise.

So would the number of people wielding those who had to be transported to the hospital with a mask stuck up their ass.

Look, like most of America, I just want to be left alone. You do you, and I will do me. The problem is the overwhelming number of busybodies who want to force their ideas onto others. Since they can’t seem to get the Government to do it, they are perfectly willing to resort to force.

Well, so am I. Leave me alone, or try to shoot me in the face with any sort of gun (mask or otherwise) and see what happens to you.

So here is from the comments:

That’s why the final model mask gun will be mounted like an M320 under an assault weapon.

So to all of the people who think this is a good idea:

Go ahead. Go ahead, skin it. Skin that smoke wagon and see what happens. I’m gettin’ awful tired of your gas. Now jerk that pistol and go to work.

Good question

I know it’s over a month old, but John Watson at the American Thinker asks a great question:

During the last two years of the Obama administration, some unusual purchases were made.  Large quantities of ammunition were purchased, as were firearms, mostly for somewhat obscure agencies or agencies with no real need for such weaponry. 

Seeing the current violence and knowing that Obama didn’t mind arming drug cartels- Do we know if all of these weapons are accounted for?

Missile found in Lakeland Airport

Contractors at the Lakeland Airport in Florida discovered a shipping container that contained an air to air missile.  An Air Force EOD team from MacDill AFB, agents from BATFE, Lakeland Fire Department, and numerous other agencies removed the missile to the Air Force Base for disposal.

The markings on the container indicate that it is a French S530 air to air missile. The missile has a 30kg fragmentation warhead.
