Tired

For nearly fifteen years, I have been writing this blog. For decades before that, I was active on all sorts of websites and in person, trying to convince and debate Natural Rights: Locke’s theories on rights in general, and RKBA specifically. Even the old Packing.org There are some times in that you just get tired. You feel like the people you debate are true believers, and it doesn’t matter what you say, they aren’t prone to logic.

Seeing the cheating on elections, the violent protests, the other violent behaviors makes you think that talking is pointless. You see that a violent conflict is coming and wonder if those who are rushing us to a seemingly inevitable civil war will come to their senses.

It makes one tired. Couple that with my incredibly busy workweek, and there are times when it is hard to string words together. Don’t worry, I am not shutting down the blog, but there are times when it is hard to find words to say that haven’t already been said.

Maybe tomorrow.

Methods

I get questions all of the time about sources:

  • How do you research Antifa? I want to do a similar profile in my area.
  • I think that XXX is wrong in your post.
  • Where did you hear about XXX, because I can’t find it.

Every single thing I post here I research to the best of my ability. Whenever possible, I link to my sources so readers can judge the information for themselves. Many manuals and books can be found on the training manuals page on this very site.

Aircraft tracks, sources, and destinations can be found on this excellent website.

I also have pretty good research and search engine skills. For example, I started the Florida Antifa Intel report by searching Google for “Florida Antifa”

Then I just followed the different search results and mined them for information. It took a few hours and a lot of note taking, but I was able to get quite a bit of information. You can also look for Social Media pages and get info that way.

Spam

The amount of Spam comments to this site is getting ridiculous. The amount of Ivermectin, Cialis, and Porn advertisements disguised as comments are over the top. There are days when I get dozens of spam comments.

I have already tried putting filters in, and they have largely been successful, but a few legitimate comments are getting caught in the filters like dolphins in a tuna can. This requires that I peruse the filters to authorize those legitimate comments. It’s getting time intensive.

Since I really don’t want to force people to set up accounts in order to comment, I think I will have to implement an IP ban that will hopefully filter some of it out. So at least for now, anyone with an IP of 5.188.210.XXX is being banned from posting comments on this page.

My muse

I could make all sorts of excuses as to why my post count is down this week: I have been watching the Rittenhouse trial every minute that I can, even while at work. I have also been working quite a few hours. I have several projects going on, etc.

But the fact of the matter is that I just haven’t felt like writing a whole lot. Maybe tomorrow.

Spam

Due to a large number of comments on this blog that are actually attempts at selling pharmaceuticals, I am filtering comments. Any comment that gets caught in the filter will be moderated and reviewed before it appears. It will appear eventually, but not until I have a chance to review it.

Sorry for the inconvenience. The Russian spambots are getting ridiculous.
