Big Country Expat

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes!So, according to reports HERE in the Daily Fail, Bidet, when asked about his bribery scheme, he laughed and walked away without comment:

The fucking arrogance of these fuckers.

They know they’re never going to be held to account
We know the same
Dammit.

Did you know we essentially went to war with Great Britain (The American Revolution) over what amounted to about $60k in money?

How faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar we have fallen.

Over $60k our Founders ‘nutted up’ and curbstomped (eventually) the single. largest. DotMil. in existence at the time.

Now? We sit, anesthetized on cheap booze and TikTok vidyas.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Hard to not get discouraged Aye?
So
Besides the obvious cancer named “Biden” that’s infesting the Body Politic of the world, I’ma going to riff on something a bit new… call it Prep Orientation.

The case in point: WATER
Shit you literally cannot live without.
Now… Me and water have a love hate relationshit. I lern’t much to my horror, that I needed a 3 to 1 mix to stay alive in Iraq. More on that mix in a minute… Being a big sweaty hardworking motherfucker meant I tended to be a heat casualty pretty quickly IF I didn’t insure proper hydration. I -was- a HeatCat as we call it back at Ft Campbell in my misspent yoot as an Infantryman… I missed the memo apparently, and woke up after a 12 mile roadmarch where I fell the fuck out. I don’t remember to be honest.

Woke up in the Hospital, 4 bags, two in each arm, and a heart monitor hooked up. Told I was that close to a Heat STROKE but the medic who got to me saved my life.

As I aged up, I found out in Iraq (my first HeatCat episode there) that I needed to make sure for every 3 liters of pure water I sucked down, that I put a liter of Gatorade in me, as I was washing all the needed salts and electrolytes out of me. They also told me to dose up on my critical vitamins, which I still do to this day.

But yeah, Water
Learn how much you need. I dig they say “One Gallon Per Person, Per Day”.

Sure… fucking great if you’re up in the cooler non-heat-stroke climates. Pretty sure Art Sido from Dissident Thoughts doesn’t need a half of what I require in Florida on the day-to-day.

Then again, maybe he does.

It’s all an individual thing.

TOTALLY True
Can Confirm, except for the last part on the far right.
Usually BEFORE you get to the full-on “Vermont Maple Syrup” piss color, most -normal- folks have fallen the fuck out. And the far left? Man, I (pardon the pun) aim to have my shit clear as a bell like when I’ve been swilling beer all night.

Of course water-poisoning… whatever the science term is for it is real, and you definitely don’t want to overdo it. I recall some split who did a radio contest and died of that shit… “Wee for a Wii” or something… drank waaay too mucho Aqua, and cashed in.

BUT

Now that we’ve established the whole “water is good”
One needs clean water to stay healthy.
Hence my inclusion of a LifeStraw water bottle… and wow… looks like they changed things… Mine:

Stainless Steel 1 Liter bottle with integrated filter system.
NO WONDER I got a deal on the price… they changed it… I paid like $29.99. The ‘new model’?:

On sale…
For $51.96
Now, yeah, pricey and no, I didn’t know they were changing the make model. The new one has that removable cover, which to me? Me No Likey. Unless it was ‘dummy corded’ to the main bottle? Shit like that gets lost…quickly in cases like me. Mine? The ‘nipple/straw’ folds up and down. Never saw any bad reviews, so not sure. Thankfully they didn’t change the filter. I have 2x spares, plus a full 6 pack of the charcoal filters to take the funk out of the taste of the water.

SO it -does- work. Tested mine and man, no complaints.
Water is key to survival.
Here at the house (and we have to refill a bunch of them, now that I’m thinking about it) I have 18-5 Gallon jugs on hand. That’s 90 gallons of potable.
30 days worth, not including the Sausage Princess and the Asshole Cat.
But the LifeStraw isn’t my -only- filter.
I managed to, many many many years ago get a Katadyn Pocket Filter.
NOT the cheap one either.
I paid $200 fedbux for it when I first learned about them and oh Holy Hells! Damn… I looked it up, and the current price for the damned thing on the Zon:

Sweet Jeebus!
I think I bought mine in 1999? When I was worried about Y2K.
Literally a 50% increase in 20 years +/-
Wow. Thankfully, I’ve only test run mine a few times.
I used it on the fish pond that’s in the back yard and so ubiquitous here in Florida. Made the water just fine, although tasteless. Good for about 15000 Gallons

Which is also why in my ‘water preps’ I have some BIG assed bags of like 400 multi-flavored packs of Kool Aid and big jugs of Tang (‘member that?) and Gatorade.

Better you -like- the taste of whatever you’re pounding for sustenance. Otherwise it’s bland-bland tasting of treated/boiled water.

Not much fun in that
So, YMMV but I do most certainly suggest you make sure you have something that can purify –at least– a couple of hundred gallons of agua, lest you die horrifically.

h/t CA at WRSA

So yeah, the New KGB-FBI-STASI-GESTAPO is now fully out in the open, operating, well operating just like the old KGB-STASI-GESTAPO of the bad old days of the cold war.

As that Brit comedy did with the two Nazis in Uniform:
“Does this mean we’re the baddies!?!”
Why yes, Yes you are most certainly.

But hey. It and shit do happen. Here today, gone tomorrow and we can allllll just sit right back and watch by the dying light as the ‘Plane’ or better, the Ship “USS FUSA or the GAE” starts it’s terminal descent into the cold, dark beyond. Who knew an Iceberg could be so dangerous?
Then again, it does have a “Berg” in it <drum riff>

All jokes aside…despite the best efforts of the Accelerationists, I don’t see a lot of changes of a radical nature coming to fruition any time in the near-near. I mean I might be completely off in my prognostication(s) BUT

I see us s-l-o-w-l-y sliding into the same torpor, the same malaise, the same utter gray and lame lifestyle that the former Soviet Republics went through. Everything, and I mean everything is going to be in short supply, leastways for us Proles. The self-appointed Commissars, what with their almost identical Marxist mindset of “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”

And boy, do them Eeee-lites have a lot of needs.
However, safe to say, they severely overestimate their abilities

I’ve seen roadkill with better brains than our current crop of psychopaths and neer-do-wells. Billy Gates? Obviously never got over being beaten up and stuffed in the trash can in 4th Grade. Seems he has a pathological need to -do things- that cause mass destruction and chaos. ALL of them… worthless skin bags who, if by chance they were ever to become live-organ donators, no one would object.

Yeah… a slow burn… grayer, poorer, less fun, (unless you’re one of the Elites) and on the off chance that the Proles finally grow weary of them, they have their underground and New Zealand bolt holes already set up.

One thing I have noticed, and maybe y’all have too, while meat/steak/eggs… you know, the staples of living? They’ve been shooting up in price dramatically. But there’s ONE item that I haven’t noticed going UP in price, and that’s beer an booze. In fact the Tranny-Fluid debacle has kept Butt-Lite on an exceptionally affordable price.

Like over Memorial Day, a case of that shit could be had for as little as $8. Whereas my favorite Irish Whisky? Still the same price as it was a year, year and a half ago? For some reason methinks they’re intentionally keeping the OTC ‘relaxatives/sedatives within a reasonable price, as keeping evryone good and liquored up, outside of a few stereotypical raging drunks, keeping the ‘body politic’ anaesthetized is a –good thing–

Keep everyone from completely flipping their collective shit
Homor Simpson once said “Beer: The cause of and solution to all of life’s problems”

Of course, this’s why I’ve cut back significantly.
A BIG reason is having the constitution of a fucking Beer Swilling Cocaine-Grizzly vis-a-vis intake tolerance… takes me like a 15 pack of pounders (16oz cans) for me to catch a real buzz. That’s waaay too much pissing and bloat, never mind the cost.

So, now I wait til things get a bit better.
I started roadmarching, with a plate carrier and plates ONLY for now. I’ll add more weight once I get the rhythm of the roadmarch back. Right now it’s just a short two block slog, but I do it, and man, it hurts. One baby toe on the left hoof is still broken, so I gut through it.

Only thing that bums me is no open carry of a rifle.
I’d much prefer to be able to properly roadmarch with my rifle.
Might have to look at a “rubber duck” and paint it bright Blue or something… even then I’d probably get hemmed up by the cops, especially in light of how many Damned Yankees have infiltrated the A.O.

Just today at lunch I was renting a furniture dolly to move a fridge. Well a freezer really. G-Ma and fam are unfortunately moving. I gave them a Deep Freeze right before COVID (didn’t think I’d need it nor had I used it since the divorce… more the fool sez I) but now that they’re moving, they’re giving it back!

Which is great
Gonna go in on a Half-a-Cow or pig with someone and stock that fucker full. SO I was up at the U-Haul and this young-ish couple were in there all happy and talking about how they moved here just today… the guy behind the counter was all being nice and whatever… me being the bastard curmudgeon I’ve become, I asked where thy moved from…

“Rhode Island!” said the chirpy tatted-up girl…(maybe she was 22, 23 at most…) not bad looking but a lot of ‘warning tattoos’, i.e. dreamcatcher on her neck, the word ‘breathe’ on the inside of one wrist… her significant other, Mister “I could smell the soy from six feet away?” Yeah, his tats? Flowers. Lil daisies on the back of his elbows… bad hair, shitty handlestache…
Uh… yeeeah
I looked at ’em both, and growled “Welcome to Florida! Don’t you fucking dare vote like you did back home.” The guy behind the counter looked at me, and looked at them and nodded and said “Yep… don’t screw up our state like you did yours!”
On that I turned and walked out… let them chew on that bit of advice.

But folks like that are like an infectious virus.
Moving in from a fucked up state, to OUR state, and then voting in the same types of assholes who made their state of origin all fucked up, which, while NOT intentionally planning on fucking it all up again, but doing so, and then wondering “How did this happen?” Self awareness purely doesn’t exist in the hive-mind of a liberal I swear.

Their look of shock was great.

Pleased to meet you, won’t you guess my name?
So yeah, unless -something- unbelievable happens of EPIC Black Flag proportions, I could very well see them slowly allowing the wheels to grind to a measured halt, when no one really gives a shit, as long as the entertainment is there for the masses. Bread and Circuses. We’re all Roman Now. We’re in late-stage Empire: Looting the Treasury of the last sestertii and making sure the Masses have plenty of Bread and Circuses.

Why do you think this new VR Headset from Apple is getting the play that it has. We’re going “Ready Player One” and no one seems to notice, nor care

Meh

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes!
Seems the FBI, the Federal Bureau of Incompetence has yet again proven itself absolutely corrupt and completely without merit. I.E. by the very acts that the Bureau has, as we have seen (and man, can you imagine what we haven’t seen!?!) That the Bureau by it’s very actions has proven itself to be an illegitimate organization, nay and OUTLAW RENEGADE organization, and thusly, by dint of the Constitution of the United States, has, organizationally, proven itself to be forfeit.

I.E. assholes, You’re ALL fired.

We ain’t listening, not obeying you anymore.

Test me. I dare ya.

As Tom Petty once sang “Don’t come ’round here no more.”

A Fed shows up on my doorstep, no joke, I’ll just as soon as slam the door in their face as speak to him/her. Rather chance a real trial than potentially deal with them. “Fuck you, get a warrant and fuck off” Got me a doormat around here that sez that as I recall….

Hell, the Mafia…the Sicilian Mob is more honest and upfront. Fuck these motherfuckers. And NO, this ain’t a case of ‘one apple doesn’t spoil the barrel…’ The whole fucking barrel’s been rotten to the fucking core since that Tranny Faggot Cocksucking Sonofawhore J. Edgar Hoover-a-Dick was in charge.

Absolutely historically -proven- that fucking faggot?… he collected and blackmailed every. single. politico. from the time he set foot as head of the Fucking Boy Intercourse club til the time AIDs took him out.

I mean no joke.
Probably another reason to hate the Feds, but man, it’s dead the fuck nuts on. The very fact that the FBI has protected the current illegitimate regime, and yet continually goes after and arrests anyone and everyone who even set foot in the Capital on January 6th!?!

Well, hell.

Time to call it a day.

Shun them
Best way to start.
If you’re related to a fucking STASI agent, and yeah, they’re as bad, if not worse than the STASI, then call them the Gestapo that they are. Cut them dead. Cut them off. Leave them for dead. If you’re a brother or a sister to an agent, go to Mom and Dad, work on cutting them dead from the ‘rents inheritance. Become the executor/trix and cut your FBI relative DEAD.
“No fucking soup for you Nazi-boi”

Leave them with –nothing–
No succor
No Family.

Let them wither, and die on the vine.

Same goes for anyone and anyone you may know who socializes or is neighbors with and FBI agent.

Cut. Them. and. Their. Families. DEAD.
Shun them
Plaster notices around your neighborhood: “John Smith is a FBI Agent and an oppressor and hates you and Our Freedom”

“Mrs. John Smith supports her husband, who is an agent for Oppressing our FREEDOM. Do not speak nor interact with her, nor her children. Show your distain for their choices.”

Couple of months of some shit like that, especially if you go after the wife and kids? Mr. John Smith’ll more than likely resign, OR end up divorced. Wife-shaming is the way to go. Bitches be cray-cray these days, and the current and normal social cachet of being “the wife of an FBI agent” normally is something that Mrs. Smith loves, cherishes and loves to socially flaunt.

Change that shit up

“Mrs. Smith is a fascist whore married to a member of the modern day Gestapo. In fact, the Gestapo had more respect for the citizenry than the FBI does! Keep Mrs. Smith Socially Isolated.”

In fact, start rumors she’s got the herpa-gonorrh-syphil-aids from fucking gangbanging niggers while Mr. Smith is out of the house.

Any bets that shit’ll cause some major meltdowns?
And best of all?
First Amendment baby
Just try and stop it.

Add on there’s a reason SHUNNING works
ESPECIALLY on broads.
Social embarrassment utterly causes broads to melt down
As the majority of split-tail out there are social creatures and constructs. Kicking the primary ‘pillar’ (“MY man is a respected FBI agent”) to a “I’m hated and my children are hated b/c of my husband’s job, because I’m married to Hitler!” works like a motherfucker.

So such is tonight’s social suggestions. Comments, Ideas and asshole drooling allowed int he comments. More Later Yadda-ta-Yadda.

Say tonights title like you had retardation and/or Downs.

Swear to Gawd we -are- dealing with the mentally incompetent, and I don’t mean the Kidsniffer Pursuviant. More like every. single. one. of these corruptocrats, who just ALL so happen to A) Be Inter-related (inbred like a motherfucker) and B) Part of a (((certain group))) who’s not known for either their subtly nor intelligence.

Say what you want, defend what you want, but the noticing keeps happening… to the point where all these new anti-anti-Semite laws?

You want to know ‘which corrupted motherfucking group who’s running the show?’

Just see who which group and/or person you’re not allowed to ask about, nor talk about.

Nuff said there.

And NO. It’s not a trope nor is it a whytte-sooper-preemie-cyst thing. Boomers LOVE to throw that out when you mention the noticing. See, the issue is, really, as far as I can tell, it’s not a coordinated plan, or action, nor the “Protocols of the The Elders of Zion” or whatever the hell that is…

Hell, my sister in law (who knew?) is Jewish hence why FedBro cut me dead. Rather than actually analyzing the facts, I get the marker of being an Anti-Semite, which I’m not. It’s that the tribe, for whatever reason, either subconsciously or hell, even consciously, make decisions based on tribal affiliation. And because of this, a bunch of related/unrelated things happen, and all of a sudden, a new Hitler comes into power, and no one can understand why pogroms crop up ever 100 years or so.

Because of the promotion of the tribal aspect of the lifestyle they lead, and the inability to realize that their actions, as beneficial to themselves they may be, the detrimental aspects of a LOT of their choices leave the ‘reg’lar folks’ kind of pissed off, as most of the beneficial decisions they make are hardcore detrimental as fuck to anyone not of the tribe.

That tends to piss people off.

Hell, the Krain is a case in point.
Krainfeld and his Kocaine Koterie?
All members of the tribe

Who, in reality, stoked and prepped another brother war (i.e. Christian on Christian) since 2014? The Krainians, specifically the members of the (((tribe))) have never forgiven Russia for driving them out. They started the entire Revolution waaaaay back in 1918… and eventually, as norm, they overplayed their hand, and got good and pogrommed for it.

You can’t piss off a group of people non-stop and not expect some form of backlash. However, the nature of the tribe is that they continually wallow in a self-induced circular pity-oppression logic that, to them makes them the persecuted ones despite the fact that they tend to end up in positions of power and control. Eventually, as such, the ‘regular non-tribalists’ start looking around and start NOTICING

Hence tha panic and attempts to pass and have enforced near draconian laws that would literally institute a law that makes me and this column a hate-crime.

Hell, I am a walking talking hate crime…
Ask my wife.

Thank God for the First and Second Amendment.
Thing of it is, it’s the ‘regular folks’ who tend to suffer.
Regular tribe members who get caught up in the grinder… they aren’t the issue, it’s the Judenraete , also spelled the “Judenrat” (far more appropo IMO) who are the problem…

The Judenraete were groups of tribal “leaders” who, for the most part made sure that they and theirs were the last ones loaded on the boxcars.

Despicable doesn’t even –begin– to describe these motherfuckers. Literally sold alllll their fellow tribals down the river so as to ‘live another day’.

OUR current Judenraete consists of Nuland, Weinstein, Baum… ALLLLL the usual suspects

No shytte Aye?

Latest word IRL is that the tribe has (or should I say -had-) some long term plans for the Krain… the term “A Second Israel” and whatnot has been bandied about… seems that the real “Big Iz” is running out of arable land… I mean yeaaaaah I totally can believe it… fucking there’s only so much you can do on a piece of turf that’s been worked over since ‘time began’ so to speak…

So, the plan is (was) to depopulate the Krain of it’s folks and start ‘moving in’… nothing solid, nothing in writing. Maybe a wild-ass weirdness guess or fever fantasy, BUT

These days?

Stranger things have happened.

Now, other Administrative Notes:
May Uncle Ted rest in peace. Died today at 81 in Supermax.

With apologies to the Ramones Aye?

Let’s start tonight off with some odd news
Bad News/Good News?

Bad News: Apparently The Aliens/Martians/Whathaveyou have landed in Las Vegas. Juuuuuust a bit outside the strip.

Good News: They’re eating niggers and illegals, pissing gasoline, and headed East.
<Drum Riff>

Sorry…. had to do it.
IRL, instead of Vegas, it was California, and during the gas crisis. One of DeadDad’s bros called him up at Oh-Dark Early and laid that particular one on him at 0200, back when long distance calls were a premium… ‘member those days when we used to get porked to call across a state line? Maaaaaaaaaan I caught hell in my early years of College, me being in Bawston, and my “meat of the week”, her being at Plymouth State up in Northern New Hampster… try a $200 phone bill first time around… The parental units were not amused.

So the Kocaine Klown Show of The Krain kicked off Offishully.
Annnnnnnnnnnd it went as I predicted

A complete and utter cruster fluck as Joe Chink would call it.

That’s 4 Brads, all roastie-post-toasties
A Leopard 2A6 variant (the triangular turret glacis is the givaway)
And what appears to be a T-72 Engineering variant that -had- a mine plow on it… the mine plow being waaaay down in the lower left corner of this footage… I stole this from the Bitchute vidya… a quick clip.

Now

I also watched the In-Real-Time drone footage of when this particular group got smoked.
Holy Fucking Hells
Whoever trained these clowns? THEY should be put against a wall and shot out of hand. Stalin would’ve capped someone for less… My Monday Morning QBing of just this particular shot?

A) They’re too tightly grouped… having see the raw full footage, these guys were soooo close together… man, as a TOW Gunner who grew up on being trained to take out Hordes of Ivans in the Fulda Gap? Gawd, Eaaaaaasy Meat man… shiiiiit…. a TOW Gunner –salivates– at the thought of some shit like this… mainly ‘cos, little known fact: A TOW2 can, if shot correctly, can get a ‘twofer’ by punching thru two tanks IF they’re close enough.

B) They panicked. That Leo doesn’t actually show any battle damage, but it obviously ran full-on up and onto that Bradley thats all blown the fuck up behind it. Got a hunch that the Engineer track got the mine plow blow’d up and off, and they got too close… then Ivan started hitting the Brads with ATGMs (Anti-Tank Guided Missiles) like the TOW, or in their case the Kornet. Like a Jav, but actually works apparently. My hunch is as they tried to turn around (and it’s hard to see in the actual combat vidya due to obscuration) either the Brad in the lower left got hit by Arty (big crater next to it) Big and CLOSE enough to completely annihilate it, OR, the next Brad (right next to the Leo, in the process of Backing Up to turn around, hit a mine, blowing the left track off, and probably (if it was one of them BIG Ivan AT Mines) kil’t a goodly portion of the crew.

C) At which point, the Two Brads behind the Leo got Smoked. Those are definitely ATGM/Arty Hits, maybe precision guided Arty? Either way, the Leo? Man, it backed up and onto the Brad behind it, and probably got stuck like chuck. The fact that it –wasn’t smoked– tells me Ivan wanted it in one piece and whelp… they done dood it. All they have to do is push forward post offensive and do a recovery. Not that that’s that big a deal, they already had export examples from the Yemen shit… LOTS of 2A6 smoked/captured during that particular unpleasantness.

I’m waiting to see the Brit Tanks IF we even ever see them, as those? They still got the Chobham armor on them, and that supposedly is the ‘keys to the kingdom’. Got me a hunch we’ll never see one of those being in a place of danger… the risk of Ivan snatching one is too great.

Anyways… that’s all for tonight as I’m toast myself. FIL fell twice today, once at 0700, then around lunchtime. Both times we got notified, but still, Mom’s not doing so hot, so we have to discuss the plan for the future. He’s OK, but man, they not longer can take care of themselves… hard times here man…

I -so- do not want to have to deal with this.
Seriously
When do –I– get a break?

So More Later

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes
Whelp… prescience is a bitch sometimes.

That “Thing” I Mentioned a few weeks ago?
Illegal Immigrants coming to “…do the jobs Americans won’t”?

Herschel over at “The Captain’s Journal” exposed that HERE

So… been cogitating on it.
On Gab, someone from Florida posted a write up (again, forgot to save it) but it was an account of Guy going to the local indoor range, and finding 4 Joe Chinks on the range… ALL non-Engrish speakers… like as in a 30-40 word TOTAL among the 4 of them. They were getting training on AR Platforms, and from the writeup, their lane was ‘decorated’ with 9mm and .45 brass. Guy went over to intel-probe, and found that all 4 had Florida concealed carry, yet didn’t ‘speeky-no-engrish’

Now the above law is for Illinois. What’s to stop the ‘infection’ to other states? Answer: Not a damned thing. Watch for it to grow like a tumor nationally, especially in shithole blue-hive zones that can’t or worse yet, won’t enforce the laws.

Now as to Joe Chink and his Three Fireteam Frens?

Everyone seems to think these “Chinese Police Stations” are there to monitor/spy/and follow Dissident Joe Chinks around. Well, they are, but I also think that now, hearing about these Four Frens at the range. One thing I forgot was all 4? Prime DotMil Age and -in shape-. Not Papasan and his nephews lern’in how ta shewt… nope… The poaster stated these guys had “PLA” written alllll over ’em.

Which makes me think that them Chinee Poleez Sations squirreled away all over? Yeah… it adds another layer of ‘plausible deniablity’ in the Loop.

First they stage a Black Flag/Swan that requires a gun confiscation.
Then they ‘Badge Up’ Hose-A and Hose-B to perform said weapon round up.

The expected blood soaked reaction occurs
Call it ‘open season on beaners, no bag limit’
Of course the hardcore rayyyyycists’ll start taking out ALL folks of Spanish Decent… figure the blaqs in LA and the Mex go full ‘Thunderdome’

Which is then when the UN gets called in

And Joe Chink and HIS ‘Ah-so melly men’ get put nominally “in charge” as part of the UN Security Forces, along with all the full backing of the Junta of the Pretender to the Glorious and Harmonious P&PBUH (Plus 10%) Orifice of The (p)Resident, The Dementor-in-Chief, Emperor Poopypants the First, Chief Executive of the Kidsmeller Pursuivant, Good Ole Slo Xi-Den.

THAT’S when shit’ll go full on spicy AF.

The only way it’ll end will be if ‘canned sunshine’ gets opened up… no two ways about it… and unfortunately, we’re closer now than even before.

The Krain is going to get hotter, sooner than later. No matter what purile shit that Aesop said about the Russians blowing the dam? Nope… not true IMO. Not a fan of -any- of them, but let me tell ya, his ‘cold war mentality’… Dude needs to realize the Russians are about to fully absorb the Krain in the end, and Krainfeld? My bets is he hides out in Israeli, along with all the other drasft dodgers who ditched there when ther intitasl war busted loose.

Word is right now the Krainians are so desperate that there are unconfirmed reports of Krainian Nationals, college students, living and going to school in Ireland of all places being scooped up and pressganged into the Krainian Mil. As in Krainian thugs (cops, but is there a difference?) pull up and pulled guys right off the street, tasgged, bagged and shipped them back to the grinder.

As Aesop loves to say “Does that sound like the side that’s winning?” And don’t bother telling me how the Russian DotMil is… Dude… I worked the Red Cell Intel unit for years. People who think the Russian DotMil still operates like they did back in the Bad Old Days with shitty equipment and undertrained conscripts? Not so much now… Putin re-vitalized the DotMil… is there corruption?
Betcher ass… TONS of it.
However, I’d have to say, as I’ve stated before, that the US is just as corrupt Moreso even. 2 Billion Dollars for a flying fucking ADA Battery that has yet to actually work as designed? Real Numbers fed to me by my former room dawg who retired as a CW4 who actually -ran- a Patriot Battery? Told me them fuckers are overpriced Bottle Rockets… like me when our MOS (11H) went bye-bye, HE got into being a Patriot Puke.

And yeah, they’ve been begging him to come out and play as he’s now a six-figure contractor. Told ’em “no fucking way Jose, those things fucking suck”

See, Putin understands ONE major thing:
DEMOGRAPHICS
Post WW2? Russian Men were significantly impacted via, you know, death. Not a lot of guys left. Same thing happened in Germany. They started coming back after, and were kinda-sorta on their way back, however, then the USSR collapsed. Drugs, booze, AIDs… ALL had another significant impact across the board. Never mind that Russia was ‘down in the dumps’ socially, politically and economically.

Putin turned that around pretty well.
Russia sure as hell is doing better than us these days.
So, Have the Russians taken a HUGE number of casualties?
Yep
But where from?
Mostly, from my sources and corroborated by a few websites like Simplicus76 (sp?) is that the majority of casualties have been in Wagner… criminal scumbags. Guys who had been costing the state money to imprison. How much savings could we have here in the US if we emptied out our Gulags and sent off the scum to die gloriously? What’s it cost to house a ‘lifer’ in the US? The average, based on 2015’s numbers is $33274 per year.
And that’s from 2015… The highest was NY at $69355 per year per inmate
Link HERE
Again, for the slow kids: DEMOGRAPHICS
Putin has it that IF you have kids, you get paid. From Statistica: “A family receiving their first child in Russia would receive approximately 590 thousand Russian rubles from the government within the maternity (family) capital program in 2023. The maternity capital benefits in the country saw an increase in recent years and were planned to be indexed every year until 2025.”
Then, if you’ve had 10 kids, and they all lived, you get $1000000 (a million Rubles) which in Dollars works out to about $17-20k, depending on exchange rates.

And NO, that ain’t welfare. That’s ALL folks in Rooskieland
Go forth, and Multiply

Which is why during this SMO we –haven’t- seen a lot of Frontline Troops getting int he grinder. Putin, despite all the media smears is carefully husbanding his primary troops. Especially the lesson taught hard at the Airport when the Elite Air Assault guys got absolutely massacred because the Russians -thought- that the Krainians were goin to roll over when they showed up.

Karma and Hubris is a bitch
So Vlad and his boys have gone hardcore conservative with Troop Use. 40k of convicts ground up and blown away?

Win-Win.

In fact the very way that the Mass Enema-media, or as I like to call them the Ministries of Propaganda and Lies and the near frantic continual bombardment of headlies that “Putin has Cancer…Putin has Parkinsons…Putin has a Brain Tumor…Putin has mental issues…” and on and on and on…

Listen… IF –you– take anything at face value that the Mass Media sez, and regrind it into your own sausage, then you’re a fucking fool.

They LIE
All the TIME
ABOUT EVERY FUCKING THING

Even when they don’t have to lie, they do.
It’s fucking pathological, and anyone who believes anything they say at this point should look for counselling
‘Cos me?

“Join the Army They Said…
See the World They Said…
Go to Exotic Countries, Meet Interesting People They Said…
Hot Chicks LOVE a Man in Uniform They Said…
They Lied
I’ve learned not to trust ‘Them’ anymore…”

Nuff Said

Been monitoring Simplisicus76’s substanck… guy is an Intel Maven non-pariellel. Got a GREAT grasp of the Krain.

Now, with that being said, at 23:40 +/- I went over and found this:

Link HERE

The vidya is scary-scary…showing a MASSIVE flood of water headed downrange. No word -yet- on who done dood it, but either way, this ain’t good.

Zoporo Nookular Plant in Danger
Oh my fucking head.
BAD BAD JuJu Mon… is truly Dread Mon…

Thing is, the “Offensive” has apparently launched… I’m going to withold any judgement or count, BUT me being me? So far I’d say the Krainians have had theirt collective heads handed to them. Again.

I mean IRL, they’re on what? Their 3rd full Amry, and an Army by definition by numbers alone is what? between 100000 and 200000? I mean when this shit kicked off, the Krain had about 400000 in uniform, Regulars and Reserve and then the ‘home guard’…

Judging from the hard -real- numbers, I’d say they’ve burned thru about 250000 KIA and probably a larger number WIA

Trust me, I know things… I was with the High Command

SO no idea who blew da dam, but either way its a MASSIVE escalation, both environmentally, and well as ‘down range effects’… if it -was- the Krain who dun dood the deed, well, then ecological and regular terrorism comes leaping to mind… and if it was Ivan who dun dood it? Well same thing, but man

Either way its a world class crusterfluck.

I’ll continue to report and monitor… so far ZERO mention of it on ANY national or otherwise intahrwhebz… which in itself it most telling.

Later Y’all

So, in order to ‘play nice with the ATF (for now) I decided to take the “Blade” Rear Assist Stock off of one of my many bangsticks. The one in question had a Sylvan Arms Folding Stock Adapter on it.

Now, tell you upfront:
We’re going to be seeing just how good their warranty department is.
Yeeeeeah…
Now, wish I had started taking pics early in the disassembly. I have a bad habit of going “Oh shit!” and busting the tools out to remedy said-shit so’s to Charlie Mike (that’s continue mission to you civvies). Now, the SA Folder adapter is trumpted as ‘the thing’ to allow you to turn your AR into a ‘folder’… can’t safely shoot it in it’s folded config, but still, it’s cool looking, and a lot of cop departments seem to like it as well… which is a plus for us considering -this- write up.

Jes’ Sayin’

So, I went to take it apart, and first thing on the list when disassembling the rear stock on any AR is remove the buffer and spring. In this case? Not so mucho. Fucker was stuck like chuck. Pin wouldn’t go down into the receiver to allow the buffer egress. Looking at it closely, I saw what ailed me was the buffer retention pin.

And said buffer-retention pin was allllllll beat the fuck in and bent over.
To the point of “grab a hammer and a roll pin punch and fix the fucker, dammit!”
AFTER I got it sort of straight enough to get out, THIS is what I ended up with:

You can see where the pin is -almost fractured- from being all bent willy-nilly.

Now mind you, I’m not nor did I beat on this particular rifle. In fact, the oddest thing; The pin itself is an amalgamation of steel and aluminum. The base cap that the pin rests on is steel, but the rest is non-magnetic. Found that out when I dropped it in my pin-bin-tray which is a big ole magnet to keep shit from falling on the floor:

Reason I find that interesting is that the pin was bent so far over as to be unremovable from the interior of the foldy-thingy (and yep, that’s the ¡scientific! name of it, the foldy-thingy):

Now that’s after I beat it -straight- (wish we could do that to the queers Aye?) and re-inserted it to the foldy-thingy. Now, besides the mangled pin (which only got mangled from very few shots mind you… like maybe 400 +/- That ain’t a helluva lot for that sort of breakage/bendage. So I also went to replace it from my collection of ‘fiddly-bits’ and dug out a new pin.

Sumbitch, it don’t fit.
I need a pin from the manufacturer to replace it…
So far, 0/10, would not recommend.

ANOTHER thing noticeable in the above pic?
The locking lug is worn flat the fuck out. Like visibly (as you can see) and tangibly (via feeling, the metal is all deformed and raised) causing a significant gap in the folding area:

While closed fully, That’s a MEASURED GAP of 1.37mm

Let me tell you.. I first noticed the gap when I fired it (the rifle) last time
LOTS of superheated gas blew up and out through that lil gap
SQUARE in my face.

Most Unpleasant, let me tell ya.
I’m not one to shy away, however it was most unexpected
So… I ended up replacing the stock and the foldy-thingy in it’s entirity.
Better the devil you know Aye?

Already painted plain n’boring Collapsible…
Meh.
I’m going to reach out with the fotos and the above.
Hoping they make it right, ‘cos as of right now?
It gets 4 Cool Points for making the AR Variant into a Folder.

That’s it tho…
The very fact that this thing shit the bed, on a civilian rifle, with minimal use and has more problems than I, a master gunsmith for the DotMil can deal with here at the crib? Oh fuck no. ZERO cool points

So, like I said 4/out of 10, HIGHLY disrecommend
YMMV.
I’ll follow up after I get with customer service.
Overall, cool looking gear, but ZERO use IRL combat, under any circumstances

Hope you dug this

Yannow… I know I fought like hell to get Addy back… still am, just a different battlefield, but after weekends like this? I ask “Do you really unnastand of what you are potentially getting yerself into Bro?”

Chasing the Midget Redhead for 2.56 daze? O.M.F.Gawd!
Worn out, used up, torn up from the floor up.
To think I’m capable of ‘runnin’ and gunnin’ like I used to in daze past?
Heh
Heh Heh
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Sorry… sorry but oh Lord Jeebus that’s funny.
The idea, not the reality.

Not only that, but today we had a significant milestone

Dropped her first baby-toofus.
We were at the pool at G-Ma’s Crib across the street. She was, per usual going full bore. Now, didn’t hit her grill or anything… she just suddenly -stopped- in place, said “Gigi, my toof fweels funny.”
Next thing you know, she grabs it like a grenade pin and pops that fucker right out!
Thankfully Gretch was on the ball and got it before it disappeared in the pool… You can see it above in the bag where she was all oh-so-proud of her now gapped-grill. No blood either really… she’s on schedule, as she is 5 point 5 in years, and apparently Grills lose their toofuses starting as early as four point five.

Initially otherGran, Papa, when we called him incurred the ‘Wrath of Zeus’ on us, thinking we’d allowed the Red Headed Rocket to self-damage… which I can completely dig… After I told him to check the Goolag, and explained the ‘how’ of it, he was like “Damn!” I can understand the potential let-down of missing this sort of thing, but HE gets to play Toofus Fairy, which is a MUCH bigger deal.

So, tonight’s subject
MOONSHINING
K?
See, there were several points in Iraq where we couldn’t get booze. So, it became a necessity to learn how to make my own booze. So, hence (and no mo-nays to me for this link) but I found and utilized the “Mister Distiller”: Link HERE
Pic Here:

It’s a water distiller that’s been ‘tweeked’ to allow booze to be brewed in it. Now, it made me a liter at a time 114 proof booze, once I lern’t what I was doing.

Now, the key is making the mash.
The mash can be as simple as sugar, water, and yeast only.
With mine, I had an old ‘shiner from back in the day who told me to add some either pure wheat baby food (Gerber) or a spoonful of oatmeal… not sure -what- it did but it took the flavor from ‘dogshit’ to smooth-as-a-prom-queens thighs.

So, you also need to have the other equipment
Buckets (for fermenting the mash). I used the 2 Gallon ones.

In this case, it comes with the bukkit, as well as a bung/air-gasket and a couple of other things, like the alcohol hydrometer (which allows you to ‘proof’ your booze’

All in all, figure $300 for this kit.
As I was in Iraq, it made sense to have an electric still, as I -did- nominally have power. There are other stills ont he site thast use fire/heat/other sources, but for me? This worked well, and considering I have a generator, as well as a solar rig, this’ll do just fine.

‘Cos booze is good medicinally, as well as trade goods
Things to keep in mind.

So, TTYL… been a loooong weekend.

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes!
So we got Gran #1 this weekend. Today was a trip up to the ‘Rents (Gran#1 Great-Grans) as, TBH they’re getting along in years. At least Da is taking it well, as I’m flat out with him… ZERO safety on Ye Olde Gob but he laughs his ass off as he’s prior service Navy. Told him flat out I ain’t got no ‘bedside manner’

No shit he joined Pre-Korean War, got out right before and man, unlike OH so many of his Generation was a true patriot. We get along big time. In fact I’m closer with him than my own father, sad to say. Unfortunately his BFF, a fellow squid moved about 9-10 months ago… Artie is a hot-shit old guy… late 70s… bald and stooped like an egg, and a BIG ole tat on his ass of an anchor… when I told Gretchen about it, she was purely shocked to death as she grew up with “Ole Artie” from up the street, and never envisioned him as a drunk 18 year old in Cavite on shore leave…

Fucking almost pissed myself when she asked if he had a tat, and his answer was to drop trou…. Fucking Legend man.

It was a good day…

Poignant even

Mom and Gran #1 having Ice Cream Cones on the bench in the front yard…
Mom ain’t doing so well. Between the car accident where she took a concussion and then the effects of the Clot Shot? Yeah, her oars don’t go in the water like they used to. Believe it or not, that’s her natural hair color… she’s the stereotypical 1950’s Blonde Ditz (to a point) Problem is now the clotshot fucked her nugget up… her memory is shot the fuck thru.

Either way, we’ll be taking care of bidness for the duration.

So after the visit, we got home and K found the Paw Patrol Vidyagame I got for her on the Xbox. Now, she knew I had it, but she was too young when I got it initially for her. Since then, Papa has been teaching her Mario Brothers (Good on ya bro!) so she now ‘gets’ how to manipulate a side-scrolling vidyagame.

Yep.
Mouth open while screaming in glee.
And yeah, the orifice is a wreck. Allll them boxes in the back are piled high and deep with food and supplies… that doesn’t even cover the 4th Bedroom which is also filled the fuck up. Been stocking hard and deep since 2011. Mountain House for the most part as it’s got a LONG shelf life.

So, per a couple of requests, I’ll be going over some ‘stuff’ of DotMil Tactical knowledge I got. That or put it on my substack? Yeah, Normal ‘Murican recommended I start one and maybe make a subscription side after I get established? Might. Could use the scrim, no doubt. So, gotta put the kid down.

Holler Atcha Later
