Big Country Expat

Greetings and Salutations!
Sorry for a double night missed but ‘reasons’ and the pinched nerve is still bugging me… and nope. This’s NOT from lifting, this’s from my original injury from waaay back in the day and this cold snap has made Ye Ole Sons of Arthritis come back with a bloody vengeance.

It’s been cold around here… and yeah, I know…
Some of y’all live in the Arctic Circle compared to me.

But if you choose to live where snotsickles are a regular thing 6 months out of the year, that’s on you. I grew up in the frozen barren wastes of Hoth, and have no need nor desire to return there. I blew that snow encrusted A.O. and left it for the Tautauns and Wampas.

Reminds me of a few of my more savage classmates from High School… that or one or two of my first dates…

Don’t ask.

So FINALLY got the disk to slip back into place in the lumbar via an inversion table that I’ve had kicking around out in the garage for about ten years or so. I completely forgot I had the thing until Sapper brought it in from the garage and told me to give it a whirl, as he was sick of me gimping around… that and he had to load and empty the dishwasher as I can’t (or I should say couldn’t) bend at the waist to save my life for a week or so there.

Some folks say NOT to use those things
I’m of two minds,

One Negative is the danger factor… and yeah, it’s sort of dangerous to use. Lots of Docs have spoken out against using them, and well, also being upside down hanging while locked in is sort of placing myself at a disadvantage right?

However, and despite all the negative reports, for Me? It works and works well. I literally felt the disk (I think I even heard it TBH) pop back into place. SO here I am, and I’ll probably be using it more frequently as I’m far more energetic these days, feeling a LOT like my old self, and getting ‘back in the saddle’ both mentally and physically.

It’s been nice to get back there/here.

And because of it, I got a LOT packed into today.
Went a saw a man about getting the oil pan done on the Boat. Still too pricey for my blood however I did get ONE piece of intel I have to research next week. Seems that The MWR People (Morale Welfare and Recreation) at McDill have an Automotive Self Help Shop!

Now when I was back on active duty, we had one in Germany, and it’s where I learned to turn wrenches beyond what DeadDad had taught me. I learned quite a bit. Now what I need to do is find out if they let disabled Vets use the place. If they do, a Bay with a lift costs only $24 an hour! And they have two mechanics on hand to assist, as well as ALL the tools and modern conveniences that one would find in a top tier repair shop.

THAT is what the mechanic ordered!

I can (and have done) oil pan replacements before. It’s just I need either a lift, or a pit to work in… and there’s nothing available until potentially now!

Figure $70 for the pan/gasket/goop on the ‘zon (already priced it) and $75+/- for the bay… figuring three hours as I’m old, cranky and don’t want to rush it… add an additional figure $100 for the oil and filter… which I -have- to buy from them according to the website… no outside loob allowed!

Call it a max of maybe $300 to do what the cheapest mechanic in town wanted $750+ for? Game, set, and match!

And if it goes smoothly, and I talk to the Mechanics who’re there on duty to assist, I might be able to get the AC Operational before we descend back into Hot n’Hoomid weather again. Here ‘s hoping right?

Otherwise, the news I also got today is very interesting.
Sapper an I whilst out doing errands stopped into a local Silver and Gold Dealer to check things out, and see what is happening locally. While we were there, the guy tells us that everything has come damned near to a stop. One of the biggest refiners of silver in the country, Elemetal has completely stopped buying scrap silver and selling silver bullion.

The guy running the shop said everyone in the business is ‘frozen in place’ as Silver closed at $90.85 in US Markets on Friday, despite ALL the claims that it was going to ‘crash low’ due to ‘volatility’. I pointed out that the US Mint has shut down sales to ‘recalibrate’ right here on this blog long ahead of the rest of folks…

That was a few days ago…
And it seems they DID recalibrate.

I got an email from a substack I read called Silver Academy
The hyperlink will take you to the article that I got this news from, but it seems the US Mint has recalibrated:

Yessir.
There’s recalibrating and then there’s this.

That IS the ‘live pricing’ on uncirculated One Ounce coins, selling for $169.00 a throw! Proof coins being a wee bit higher at $173.00! As stated:

Proof Silver Eagles jumped 82%, from roughly $95 to $173 per ounce, while uncirculated and backdated Silver Eagles soared 86%, from $91 to $169. The message is unmistakable: the old silver price system can no longer function under real-world constraints.

Which is what Asian Guy and a bunch of other have been yelling for a while… the US COMEX is bullshit and now? Real-Time pricing is coming out, hence the ‘freeze’ in so many areas of the market…

No one know whether to shit or go blind so to speak.

I’m curious if I’ll see the delivery of those 3 ‘dirty’ Eagles I bought at $77 an ounce back on January 3rd. At this rate I’m doubting it. If I -do-? That’ll be about a hundred bux profit each before it even gets in the door. And currently, the APMEX is selling random year coins going for $109.22

IF you use a credit card and only buy less than 20 coins…

And for those who’re asking about why I was calling them ‘dirty’ Eagles, they’re just that… circulated, maybe tarnished but complete US Silver Eagles… They may not be pretty, but they ARE worth waaaay more than I paid for them ALREADY.

Which is why I’m wondering IF they’ll ship or decide to play the game of “Oh so sorry, here’s a refund!” of my $240 as it’s in the smol print that they can do that.

We’ll have to wait and see I guess.

Monday I’m figuring some form of fuckery will be afoot with COMEX and ETFs… I mean it was (the fuckery) was going on ALL week long, but despite the best attempts of the Large GloboHomoHebrew banks to try and drive the price down via bogus ETF Paper Trash and dumping TONS of fiatbux, silver still rebounded like a Weeble

“Weebles Wobble but They Don’t Fall Down!”
If you remember that, your childhood was Epic!!!

So yeah, I’m watching, and waiting and I’m just going to sit on my paltry Silver Stash. IF and only IF it gets into nosebleed levels of valuation will I sell, and IF I sell, it’ll be so I can get some ‘things’ that have been on the “Wants/Wishes/Needs” list for the Post Apocalypse… a Barrett .50 or maybe a M-249S belt fed… something that keeps me feeling all warm and fuzzy… I mean the coins themselves are great and hold value

BUT

IF everything goes utterly in the shitter?
Having a bunch of shiny baubles is great but does you no good IF there’s only a barter economy… I’ve read it in a LOT of post SHTF books… I mean a One Oz. Gold Coin? Great. Currently (as of now) spot s $4500+/- a few hundred. Thats while money is worth something

You can’t eat it, and it might be worth something in trade, but in reality? Silver and Gold only hold value as long as there’s something of value you can exchange it for… and TBH, depending on what you’re bartering for, a Loaf of Bread and a Gallon of milk might be worth that One Ounce coin IF fiatbux become Weimar Script or like Zimbabwe, where they drafted One Hundred Trillion Dollar notes:

…and the reason it’s so recockulas is that the “smart money people” i.e. people who HAD gold and silver were already long fucking gone before the place collapsed into the festering shithole it became (and still is from my understanding)…

And that right there
THAT is a big thing.
The “Smart Money People”had other places they could go that had not collapsed like Zimbabwe.

-I- personally think that WHEN (not if) the de-dollarization and inevitable bed-shitting of the economy happens, I’d rather make sure MY value is locked in going LONG with Steel, Iron, Links, Lead and Good Frens to back me up, ‘cos I have a feeling that if we The US economy. take a “Ye Olde Giant Shytte”, the rest of the world is going down with us, so better to have that Barrett and 5 cases of .50 APIT or a M-249S that your friendly local gunsmith knows how to work on… than to be stuck with a bunch of shiny-shiny that does you no good until AFTER everything recovers…

Which could take decades.
And any bets that you’ll find plenty of that shit just laying around after the fact? Hell… some people are just ‘loot drops’ waiting to happen… go figure.

Well, the diet is going well. The stomach is most definitely shrinking and tonights grub was two tuna sammiches on Publix Mountain Bread. Pretty simple and filling… 2x sammies and the bread calorie wise is about 320, while the tuna was a total of 220 calories plus or minus. Each sammich gets a full can of the tuna, and each can gets about two tablespoons of olive-oil based mayo…call it 650+/- for both sammiches.

And for all of y’all who tell me to stop making lists and counting calories? Believe you me I will but I’m retraining both my belly AND my brain to adjust and track, and eventually reform into habits that I can stay on. Today was a skip day on the gym, as well as the walk. I need a wee bit of a break. A cool thing I found out last night was that I have some Muscle Milk powder that’s still good, and it seems that some of those chocolate drinks that come in the MREs these days?

Seems some of them ARE essentially Muscle Milk/Protien drinks. And man, I got a PILE of them laying around as I usually don’t drink them. All the ‘extras’ that I can’t or won’t usually use from an MRE gets thrown in a big ole box, and then when the box is full (like last night) I sort everything out, let Sapper take his pick of what he wants, then I’ll sort MY picks and shitcan the rest… crap like the “Italian” breadsticks or the wheat bread ‘loaf’…. Gah… shit like that makes me wonder if the Natick guys are actually Mad Scientists…

I got a deal the other day that I was pleased with as well. one of the other gun shops around here has a counter area for used/unwanted gear… mags, scopes and occasionally ammunition. I just happened in when some guy was placing some boxes in from his Granddad’s estate, and maaaaaaaaaaan… MY lucky day! 2 new boxes of Magtech .44 Magnum… NOT reloads. New… just a little wear on the outer box… 50 rounds each of 240gn JSP! Even better? $25 a box!!!

That was almosts a BOGO so naturally I grabbed ’em up.

Considering the .44 is a single action six shooting wheel gun, and it feeds one at a time reeeeeally slowly I figure 100 rounds ought to last me quite a spell.

I think I told y’all about it?
Can’t remember
Anyway… I do love talking about my weapons so…

MY Christmas gift to myself as outside of Sapper and MomUnit, no one got me jack… not that it matters, but Palmetto State had a clearance sale, and that Sezzle payment program??? Oh man it’s just made to get a guy like me in trouble. They had a Pietta Prospector 7.5″ 44 Rem Mag for $399.99!!! I’ve seen those go for as much as $1200 on some big box gun stores…

So what the Hell right?

I’ve always wanted a six-shooter.

And since Florida has gone to full on open carry, well… if’n you’re going to open carry, do it with STYLE.

I ordered a gunbelt on Etsy custom fit to my big self. It’s got a US Cav style open top holster, and the belt itself is 2 1/2in thick, with 12 ammunition loops for .44, and 6 loops for .45-70 as I figure why not?

Sometimes you just have to go “full retard”

In the Zombiepocalypse, what I lack in rate-of-fire, I MORE than make up for with absolute ball crushing/skull vaporizing FPS on both weapons.

The workmanship on the weapon itself is magnificent.
Wonderful finish, crisp trigger, accurate… ZERO complaints from me. Well… maybe ONE… that angle on the grip lays some hate on your wrist when firing it….44 Rem Mag is a mule of a round.

We’ll see…
I mean I could sell it used right now and make a profit either way right? AND speaking of making a profit, TfAt must be jumping for joy as silver hit a new high on the Comex at $90.02 spot. That’s great, HOWEVER

Comex is bullshit as I’ve been watching, learning and observing. Shanghai and Kuwait are selling at spot a little more like $100 to $115… never mind the numismatic valuations of particular coins… as you can see here:

I capped that at 15:14… Silver was, per COMEX, sitting at $88.03 spot:

The problem?
Look at the ask for ONE AMerican Eagle One oz Silver Dollar
$101.02
That’s the best price.. as in how much you pay in bulk per coin, when in reality, if you ONLY want one coin? ONE COIN is going to run you $108.67:

That means that the premium on ONE COIN is about (at that moment) was $20.64 per coin.

THAT tells me that COMEX is bullshit.
COMEX has been fuckign around forever and a day, and I think they (and we as collateral damage) are going to find out good and hard.

Asian Guy does a pretty good vid here:

CME Just Nuked Silver Margins pic.twitter.com/ws3g2KtPnJ

— Asian Guy (@AGAsianGuy) January 13, 2026

The TL;DW is simply this.
If you have physical, hold onto it.
COMEX is doing some OPEN and BLATANT Market Manipulation via Margin Call rules changes, to the point that now? It’s painfully obvious that the dollar is about to take a GIANT shit, and we’re headed into a recession IF we’re lucky. Gold is over $4500 and climbing. ALL the red flags are there.

Add on that the US Mint put out a Official Letter:

It was posted on Twitter, and then I confirmed it through various open sources. The mint is, as stated suspending sales of silver products. This’s because the pricing on the website(s) are so out of line, so quickly, that they can’t fill the order without losing cash. In fact back two weeks ago? When it ‘slumped’ below $77 for spot?

I ordered 3 Silver “tarnished/circulated” Eagles for $77 a throw. With shipping, it was about $240. Provided they fill the order, and don’t fuck me over, I’ve already made (per COMEX) over $20 per coin, and I haven’t even gotten them yet…

Which is the problem.

Gretchen’s Dad some long time back asked me about those Gold and Silver ETFs that’ve advertised to foolish Boomers…. the “You send us the money, we’ll store the gold, and all you need to do is IF and WHEN you want the physical delivery, just call us!” pyramid scheme. Once I explained it to him, he understood, and didn’t buy in on it…

If it ain’t in your hand, then it ain’t yours.
Possession is 9/10ths and all that.

HOPEFULLY they ship when they said they will, which is January 19th, but at the rate it’s been climbing? I’m not so sure… this much volitility and soooo many cases of Hebraic Scumfuckery and Douchebaggery, I will say I’ll just be glad to get the $$$ back IF they decide to fuck me.

‘Cos then I’ll just turn around and re-invest the cash in a few Silver Mining Stonks I’ve been playing around with. Nothing too big… I opened a brokerage account, deposited $150 and well… I’m just a wee bit ahead, which for a complete moron and n00b like me, I’ll take the “W”

There’s also some shares I got into for a drone-related company that’s supposed to get a contract award for ALL the DotMil services in March I think? Because of the yo-yoing of the Fed, what HAD been a nice lil climber back at the start when I first started watching some particular stonks, but hey, I’m good with it…

There’s only one Stonk I wanted to get and that was another drone company. When my funds were finally available, I still couldn’t buy in, but I’ve watched it go from $258 a share to sitting right now at almost $340. Like a 98% increase in two weeks…

Dammit.

I’m still watching and waiting to see what’s coming next…
Either way, Silver Mines are going to be a long investment (however long the market lasts that is…) and ANYTHING Drone Related for Defense Utilization is ANOTHER area to closely monitor.

So that’s what I got for tonight.
Hope y’alls night is quiet and pleasant like mine!

Greetings and Salutations!
Leg day this A.M. and the arms recovered enough to actually you know, like type again. The great news? I’n down quite a few pounds… I weighed in this A.M. at 347…

Do NOT ask how much I had gained.

Let’s just say emotional turmoil was not good for the waistline, nor the mindset. Which is now back in full effect. I mean the diet is going along well, I have my accountability sheet that I’m filling out daily, and making sure I keep it about 2200 calories for the entire day.

That’s waaaay down.
ESPECIALLY for a guy my size.

Add on what I’ve cut by completely going booze/beer free.
Mind you that sort of sucks, but I’m already way less bloated, and feeling better. My sleeping rhythms are back, and I’m up extremely early to either get my lift on or my walk on. Been doing a few laps around the neighborhood in a stripped down tac-vest with my XSAPI plates. Cardio donchaknow?

The left leg is doing much better as well, except that I literally ‘love tapped’ the passenger side running board on The Boat with the left shin, and because the skin is like tissue paper, I torn a big ole swath of skin off of it. AGAIN

So I’m back to square one.
However
The new secret weapon(s) which have been helping me?
One is Silver Honey:

It’s Manuka Honey and Antimicrobial Silver.
Supposedly it’s for horses.
Since I’m as large as one, it seems to be doing the job quite nicely. It also seems to be ‘fading’ the damaged areas that were inflamed and angry. Link to it is HERE

The other is a single compression boot:

Now I got that BEFORE Christmas, on the 17th so I got it for less than $50. Link to it is HERE And yeah, both wet my beak if you buy eithe rof them. The Leg Compression thing is great!!! It’s got 3 settings, the one I like most is the setting thats starts compressing my foot, and then works it’s way up my leg to my knee, squeezing all the pooled blood and lymph out or at least back into normal circulation.

The only major negative is you need to download and run it via a bluetooth connected app. I’m soooooo sick of apps I swear man… It does work however, and my leg looks much better for it, and I’m no where near as gimpy as I was.

So since the diet is now on full time, I’m cooking healthy like I did back in Baghdad. For that matter, I got a lil ‘homesick’ for my place back in Iraq from 2008-2011… Like genuinely missing my life and lifestyle from back then. It was a much simpler and straightforward existence to say the least.

The food was MUCH healthier overall as well, as Halal chow witht he Muslim Rules makes sure that GMOs are a nonstarter, and the grains you DO have available are from the same. exact. grains that Suliman the First was chowing on… Like the OG-Grains if you will.

So since I had previously stocked up on some quality meats that I had intended on using to impress a female (yeah… of course the deal fell through… story of my life amiright?) so Last night I yoinked! the meetza outta da deepfreeze and made ready for the cooking tonight.

In this case, this was Iraqi Kofta Kebabs.

I used to make these things at a minimum of 3-4 times a week in Baghdad. My Iraqi workers taught me how. God I miss them guys and gals… Anyways…

Kofta is a type of of spiced meat, usually cooked on skewers, made from ground meat (like beef, lamb, or chicken) or vegetables, mixed with spices, onions, and herbs. It can be grilled, baked, fried, or simmered in sauces, and is usually (for me) served over rice.

In my case?

I used a pound of Ground Waygu Beef, and a pound of New Zealand’s finest high-quality, tender, grass-fed Lamb. The skewers I got a lil ways back as a gift from bro who knows how much I like to cook, and got me the right skewers for the job:

Besides the spicing, in order to have a proper kebab, the meat has to cook from the inside as well as from the outside. The way this is done is that each one of those bad bois is about 3/4 of an inch wide. The tip of the skewer gets stuffed into the hot coals, allowing the heat to run the length of it, and cooks the inside of the kebab. The rick is to NOT allow the meat to peel apart and fall INTO the coals.

Thankfully I only had one do this, and I was quick enough to recover the meat. Part of the trick is making sure you have breadcrumbs as a binder… The way I did it, was I placed alllll the spices into a BIG honking bowl, and hand mixed it all together:

Where things went a wee bit sideways was I didn’t put enough breadcrumbs in, or at least that ONE skewer that fell apart didn’t get enough breadcrumbs… Meh… either way, it all cam out fantastically.

The Spices I used and how much are as follow:

One Medium Diced (via my smol food processor) Onion
Three BIG Tablespoons of Minced Garlic
1-1/2 Cups of Finely Mashed Plain Breadcrumbs (I used Pepperidge Farms)
1 Cup of Dried Parsley (or one whole fresh bunch, w/no stalks, diced up)
1 1/2 Teaspoons Ground Allspice
1/2 Teaspoons Green Cardamom
1/2 Teaspoons Nutmeg
1/2 Teaspoons Sumac
1/2 Teaspoons Paprika (I like a wee bit more, so dealer choice)
1 1/2 Teaspoons Aleppo Pepper
Large Pinch of Salt

I mashed all of it up, and then formed a small-ish ball of the meat, and skewered it. Then I worked it evenly down the skewer, thinning it out, and rounding it, keeping in mind that the first 3-4 inches needed to be free of the meat, so as to shove it directly into the coals:

Then I placed it in the outside redneck fridge to cool them for 20 minutes to keep them from falling apart. When they get to room temperature, the meat starts to seperate and fall off the skewers… chilling them keeps them together so you can get them on the grill.

Now I also chopped up another leftover half of an onion to grill, as there’s always a leftover onion in the fridge, as we use them in almost ALL the cooking around here:

I just slapped those w/some fresh ground pepper and salt, and roasted them on the grill… they came out great.

Now unfortunately, I didn’t get a pic of it cooking as I was as busy as a raped ape turning and shuffling the skewers from hot-spot(s) to cool(er) spots, and making sure nothing came completely apart. I need to fabricate a proper grill if I start doing this on the regular, as the Round Weber I have isn’t the best for this sort of cooking. I also made one of those “Middle Eastern/Spanish Yellow Rice” sides that was Meh! at best…

Sapper and I were not impressed with the rice (bland AF TBH, the majority got shitcanned it was so blah!) but at least it gave the plate some color. I served it with 2x pieces of freshly lightly toasted Na’an Bread, and some Peppered Humus for flavor. It came out looking rather good IMO:

(The onions are buried under the na’an BTW)

As you can see….
A perfect char on the outside, nice a cooked all the way through on the inside, and juicy as all get out. I think I stunned Sapper as he was beyond impressed.

I mean like I cook well, and he knows it, but there have been one or two misfires in the past. I think he was expecting this one to be a misfire, and was genuinely pleased to the point he said it’s better than the place we go out to eat at in Apollo Beach, a new Haji Shop. It’s good, but this is better AND it’s not $24 a plate. I agree with him… it’s absolutely what I used to cook on the regular back in the day, and outside of the rice? It’s healthy.

The only part that sucked was while I was doing the plating, BOTH puppers were literally drooling to the point that smol puddles formed on the floor, so now I’ll have to mop the kitchen again as this diet is heavy on the cooked meats, so both Puppers, Chili AND the Sausage Princess are in near-constant ‘hover/drool’ mode while Daddy Big Country is cooking up a storm.

Now as far as cook time for the skewers, these cannot be thrown on and left to cook. You HAVE to watch them, and constantly rotate them. I had the heat cranking on the coals to ‘blast furnace’ levels to get a good sear/char on the exterior, and rotated constantly to keep it evenly cooked so the meat didn’t get a chance to, as mentioned before, fall OFF the skewer and into the coals. YYMV.

So that’s my night and diet, and meal for dinner. Let me know what you think, and also let me now if you try it. My next experiment is going to be the same recibee, but using the Ninja Indor XL Air Fryer/Grill. The grill mode works pretty damned well, and I want to see if I can get the same results without the skewer, and making the Kebab thinner to cook evenly. If it works, I can whip up a PILE of them as pre-made food prep, freeze a bunch of them, and eat on them for a few weeks if I do it right.

What say you?

So I’ve been following (wallowing might be the better term) in the unhinged cesspool(s) that are Twitter and Reddit about allll the “Calls To Action Against The Feds!” and whatnot regarding the shitshow that’s going on in Minneapolis.

Now, thing of it is, it’s cold AF there right now…

…and as far as -I’m- concerned?
It’s staying cold AF all weekend long.
Anything under 50 degrees these days to me reminds me of my “Sons of Arthritis” membership all too well these days…

SO, yep.
This is NOT what I’d call ‘good riot weather’ unless you’re Santa’s Elves pulling a labor protest or a fucking Inuit doing the same. Even the Canucks tend to stay inside around those temps, especially if it doesn’t factor in the wind chill, which if it gets windy, it turns 23 degrees into a punishment after the fact.

So I was thinking
A lot of mentions and RUMINT is that there are NOT enough cops out there to do what needs to be done, and that the White House is, per the usual, dithering on #TIA1807 because smol-hats and ‘reasons’. OrangeManBad doesn’t WANT to be remembered for invoking the act (even tho right now, he really needs to, if only in Minnesota) and deploying Active Duty Troops.

Cowardly as all get out IMO
HOWEVER
-I- thought of something.
Remember the talk about granting Letters of Marque a few back BEFORE we snatched Maduro? I got idea… an utterly brutal and completely ruthless idea.

Why not just deputize ANY and ALL Veterans who want to volunteer, under a limited Contract, similar to what was done in Iraq. The DotMil didn’t have enough troops to run convoy escorts for quite a spell, so Blackwater stepped in, and did it quite well. Make it that Prior Contracting experience is a plus, and give us very liberal and open-ended Rules of Engagement.

Shoot First, For God Will Know His Own.

As well as enough Federal Legal Coverage that every. single. shoot. will be considered a “good shoot” and the trigger puller in question doesn’t get prosecuted after the fact at the State Level, due to the Federal Primacy Clause.

Also keep a metric shit-ton of irrevocable blank Presidential Pardons on hand…

Just in Case of later DemoncRat Fuckery years later.

I almost guarantee after the first 200-300 stupid fuckers get shot in the head that this shit’ll end so quick it make Soro’s head spin. And oh yes… Give a list of PRIMARY TARGETS that NEED to be “harvested” for the greater good. I’m pretty sure putting a bounty of $1 Million USD on Alex Soro’s head would attract enough attention to remove him and his Dad from the board. Even if he flees to the EU… lots of people there getting mighty poor and hungry these days from what I heard… for the E.U., make it $100 million, so they have enough to possibly even tempt the Soros Bodyguards on turning on him…

LITERALLY make an Offer that no one can refuse
I mean it’s just money right?
They print that shit faster than Charmin these days anyway.

“The Harvest of a Thousand Heads” has a nice ‘ring’ to it…

I mean if nothing is done?

Well… All I can say is Thank God I’m in a state that passed laws ALLOWING us to ‘handle the ‘tards’… The Summer of Love lasted until Hillsborough Sheriff’s Deputies, responding to a bogus 911 call (it was made to draw the cops in) were literally ambushed by some gun toting Groids… they bailed and got out unscathed…
HOWEVER
After this?
Between the Sheriff AND DeSantis, they declared ‘open season’ on Rioters… as in “Block Traffic = Get Run Over, no charges will be filed” or “Ambush Cops = Get Shot. Period. Fucking. Dot. Civilians are welcome to assist the PD a needed. No charges will be filed”

Needless to say, MUCH to Sapper and my own severe disappointment, the Nogs f-a-d-e-d back into the Hood from whence they came, knowing full well they were fucking dead otherwise as they’d be more likely shot by some amped-up Floridaman who’s suffering from near-terminal niggersaustion than a cop…. Needless to say, things stayed VERY QUIET here roundabouts. And have stayed that way….

AND
Speaking of ‘tards:

Dis fukken guy pissed me off today.

On one of my Twitter Posts, he kept shitting ALL over it… annoying AF especially since I have NO IDEA who this basement dwelling fag is. I tried. Lord knows I tried….despite me telling him to STFU to just let me post in peace and go away, and warning him that pissing off and annoying strangers on the internet isn’t very bright….

So I asked him where he’s at:

So then I went to his link to his pages (which he thoughtfully provided):

The Link is in the Upper Left but it’s also on his profile but here… let me assist:
https://linktr.ee/og_vault

Then I went to his Youtube channel… all 16k of his watchers… (that’s cute…) More than likely they’re mostly bots I’d say as he’s never had more than 200 likes on his vids… and I’m not sure if this is him or not:

But if it is?
He looks exactly as I’d suspect,mid-30, doo-rag to cover the male pattern baldness… probably jacks off to Anime Porn…
GAH!
I know, I know… I blocked him, but he was SUCH an insufferable POS, so if y’all want to DM me any and all info y’all want to, have at it. “The BCE Flying Monkey Brigade” can be unleashed. And if you want to shit up allll his ‘stuff’ even better… let me know what ya find. What a dink.

BTW: FWIW, I’m looking at having patches made that say that exactly “BCE Flying Monkey Brigade” as some bling/gifties to y’all regulars.

I’ll show you the two final designs and y’all can voat on them.
So that’s it.
Early post today as I got a date.

Gonna be a short one
Today was Arm Day and I can barely hold my hands over the Keyboard. I think I need one of them gel pad rests now in my old age. ‘hover-hands’ ain’t what it used to be…

Anywho

“And much gnashing and wailing was heard!!!” out ’round about Minneapolis Way after some fucking dyke chick tried to run from ICE during an ‘encounter’ and got iced in a manner of speaking… The Mayor Jacob Frey:

…and yep… a smol-hat and obviously big nose tribe member, (pic for the obligatory wanted poster for later) opened up his cockholster and ran it until the semen ran clean down onto his ass. Literally told the feds to “…Fuck Off out of his city…”

I love it when a Jew reveals himself so openly
Don’t you?
So to continue…

Said-semen and Izzyspittle flying, it seems Good Ole Governor “Balless” Walz, Fake CSM (who never met a deployment that he could run from) decide to felch said-semen off the gay Mayor’s anus, and is now deciding if he’s going to activate the Minnesota National Guard to “expel the Feds” out of the state.

No word if he’ll reactivate himself at his old rank or just pin four stars on his collar… guess eating a little jizz from the foul mouthed soon-to-be Guantanamo Detainee #4678 stiffed up the otherwise Cowardly Fucktard. No worries though, I know for a fact that copies of the Torah are available to detainees having been at the top of the food chain at Gitmo, long long ago….

Now that ‘Balless’ is considering doing such a thing…
Well the last time that happened, bad things happened.

Namely the Civil Fucking War.

And the meme above? That’s Captain George S. James, the guy who, on receiving his orders from Higher-Higher (namely the head of the Confederate DotMil in the Area of Operations, General P. G. T. Beauregard) fired off the first shot at Fort Sumter, kicking off the War of Northern Aggression of 1861.

And maaaaan
After last nights rant and analysis?
Per Meko, 48 hours have now past
24 Hours are left…

The Insurrection Act of 1807 or now, for brevity, call it ‘TIA1807’ (and make it a hashtag on ALL the social media platforms #TIA1807) I’ve been using it on twitter:

#TIA1807 If You Know, You Know.

Yep
Something like this couldn’t come at either a better or worse time. “Balless” I -think- is going to try and finally prove his manhood, and stand up to the Feds. I mean he was positively raked over the coals for his blatant cowardice during the GWOT…

And if he does?

Hooo-Boy.
< Cue Announcer Voice >
‘Next on “The Boys From Delta, Season 1, Episode 2: TIMMMMAH! Gets The Black Bag”

As well as Delta shooting any asshole who doesn’t understand that under 1807 killing all of them is legal IF they stand up against the Feds or DotMil. ESPECIALLY during an Op. I’ve been seeing some utterly fucktarded takes on this on Reddit (what a cesspool of leftist psychosis… people will be studying that shit centuries from now) and on Twitter with Leftists still clinging to the notion that The Insurrection Act can’t be used.

Let me tell you
IF a large enough crowd gathers, and starts getting jiggy with REGULAR US Army Troops? Oh man… all it takes is one rock thrown, or one nervous new guy to shoot one stupid motherfucker, and oh holy shit….

At Kent State the National Guard Troops only had M-1s.
(corrected!!! Thanks for the spot guys! That was an unintentional fat finger)
Semiauto Only.
Granted, 7.62x51mm but still…
Four students were killed and nine others were wounded.
They fired approximately 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds

OTOH:

The Regular Army guys?
M-4A1s… All Full Auto
I know, I’m one of the guys who did the upgrade from 3 round burst trigger groups back to good ole Rock n’Roll for units here in Florida… (sweet Lord in Heaven, I seen some shytte in my time!) Anyways…
In fully automatic mode an A1 can theoretically fire between 151 and 208 rounds at its cyclic rate of fire in 13 seconds… In practice, this number is limited by magazine capacity, which is typically 30 rounds, and the need to reload…
And considering how shitty the troops were treated under the Biden Administration?
And if ONE SHOT rings out, no matter which side fired it?
I’m putting my money on some seriously quick reloads during the “Mad Minute” that’ll go down and windrows of dead protestors… like ‘stacked cordwood levels’ and ankle deep blood.

A LOT of Regular Army troops have a lot of unresolved anger issues for those on the Left Side of the political spectrum. I could see a LOT of mag-dumps and reloads in the first minute or so…

And IF #TIA1807 has been implemented BEFORE this?
Ohhhh maaan.
It’s all legal
No shit… for real, I really don’t want to see it
HOWEVER
The left has gotten away with soooo much for so long, it’s about time that they got ‘punched’ in the fucking face. And no worries about the Media ranting and rending garments…

Lincoln had that covered too when the FedGov jailed newspaper people who spoke against him and the war. All OrangeManBad needs to do is shut down ALL media, jail the most obnoxious motherfuckers for fomenting rebellion and/or treason, at Gitmo, and give very short DotMil Trial(s), and then a very quick trip to the gallows. And Timmah, because right now, as we speak/I write is OPENLY CALLING FOR REBELLION TO FEDERAL AUTHORITY

VIDEO: Governor Tim Walz Urges Radicals To Take To The Streets Around The Country To Stand Against ICE@HarrisonHSmith pic.twitter.com/vzNkifMbry

— INFOWARS (@infowars) January 7, 2026

…which means that IF anyone gets smoked by Active Duty Personnel during a legally announced TIA1807 order, well it means every. single. death. can be lodged as a charge against Timmah himself after the fact.
Death by hanging anyone?

Case fucking closed
And it’s all b/c ‘their guy’ Lincoln set precedent.

Doubt it’ll go that way, but as the Joe Chink curse goes: “May You Live In Interesting Times”
Indeed they are.

Well… been a busy couple of days. Heard back from my dude who won the raffle that he’ll be home from his Christmas Vay-Kay tomorrow and then we could discuss ‘stuff’ and logistics.

Then, I’ve started a diet and gym work, and unlike most who start at the beginning of the year, I tend to stick to it. No booze since New Years (Dry January dammit) and the gym had a waaaaay too good ‘join us, first month $1, get a free month’ deal which I OH SO Cannot take advantage of, as it’s Anytime Fitness, which I’ve belonged to before, but quit due to reasons a ways back… seems the ownership changed, and unlike the previous knothead, these guys have a DotMil discount on top of the 2 months for a $1 thing…

So yesterday, I got my lift on, today being a off day (man I’m sore). And I’m currently waiting on Pep Boys to call me to get the Boat back, as the raffle $$$ was to specifically assist in getting new sneakers for it… $250 a tire ‘cos ‘truck’ and ‘reasons’…

I mean there were cheaper, but these were the best On Road/Off Road for the pricing I got. And I want at least the theoretical ability to go off road IF such circumstances become necessary…

Hence why the ‘saving kitty’ is now for a brush-buster/guard.

AKA a Haji-Squisher as I used to call it back in Iraq.

So…. news from yesterday, as well as today.

First off, ‘Big Rakk Six’ aka Secretary of WAR!!! (and yes’s how I’ll be referring to the department and Hegseth for the rest of his tenure…) did what I call “Shots Fired” at Senator PotatoHead Kelley (D, Retardoland) yesterday:

To which (of course) Sen. PotatoHead fired back with the same old DemoncRat talking points ….”OrangeManBad….dictator blah…going to fight… blah… blah and fucking blah!”

HOWEVER
There’s a few things I noticed, and have pieced together via an article that you need to read right now and then scoot back here

Link HERE

OK….
Back?
OK… how this ties in, well… let’s just lay out FIRST the OFFICIAL LETTER OF CENSURE that Big Rakk Six dropped on Sen. PotatoHead (pages are in order, click to embiggen):

This was announced via Twitter:

“But what does this all mean Big Country and how does it tie into that looong article and all that legal ‘stuff’ that makes my brainum go ouchie?”

Let me tell you…
THIS is called “Prepping the Battlespace”
What Battlespace do I speak of?

OK… the Article above, for those too lazy to read it is the TL;DR is essentially OrangeManBad has lined up ALL the legal pieces to unlock “The Insurrection Act of 1807”. That allows the use of Active Duty Troops inside of CONUS bypassing Posse Comitatus.

ALL of the pieces.

He’s got ALL of the actual prior Constitutional judgements on his side… The Insurrection Act has been used a few times in the past, like Lincoln and the Civil War, and Eisenhower pushing the ‘groids into schools after Brown v. Board using the 101st ABN. Ergo damned near all the laws have been already adjudicated by the highest court in the land, i.e. the Supreme Court.

And these ARE NOT laws that can be fucked with by lower courts, even though a few lower courts have unconstitutionally overreached because ‘feelings/reasons’ and they’ll be dealt with when not if OrangeManBad decides to go full fuckin’ bore on this one… which includes those lower courts, specifically those individual tardo-Judges who’ve placed themselves in the crosshairs metaphorically speaking…

Even the Supreme Court fucks with this at their own peril.

So…. this is also tied up in what happened to Maduro.
Eko mentions it, but more in the light of “This is what a President can do legally using his power and not tell a fucking person on what’s going on until the very last second.”… which I partially agree on, but that’s not in how I- translate it fully, but I’ll get to that…

Now…
The PotatoHead letter states that the Secretary of the Navy is going to review, and make recommendations. Now, IF he values HIS job, PotatoHead is going to go from a Navy Captain (Full Bird Colonel equivalent in the Army) down to who the fuck knows what… not that it actually matters however, he’s already stated that he wants to fight it.

Publically

Which in turn activates a new level of Fucking Around and Finding Out, that being a General Court Martial. Now… let me ‘splain sum’tin to y’all…

Have you ever wondered why a LOT of those serious hardass guys who took the Army in the”Army versus Jail” equation, and then regretted the fuck out of it? I knew a few guys late-89/90 when I was in Basic where we had a few of them, and they used to whine and bitch that jail would have been the better option.

That’s because in the DotMil matter WHAT Rank you are, IF you fuck and fuck up badly enough may God have mercy on you because Sure as Fuck The Uniform Code of Military Justice most certainly will not.

And let me tell you
You have zero ‘civil rights’ in the DotMil
You are an easily replaceable ‘part’ and, like the dishwasher, when it starts getting loud, you try to correct it/fix it BEFORE you begin the full on divorce proceedings…
Bah-Dum-DUM!!!
(Like that one?)

So soon to Be Former Captain PotatoHead IF he’s genuinely stupid enough to demand this, oh boy, well… the short of it is he’s fucked. His problem is he’s publically stated that OMB AND Big Rakk Six are unworthy, a joke, and BR6 is incapable of being the Secretary of WAR!!! and THAT right there?

Let me ask you
Lets say you have a heavy hitter boss, a BIG Baller w/ a lot of power and ‘juice’ so to speak… money, a hot wife, loads of ‘minions’ and such…. and you go out into the main office area and start shit-talking in front of one all about what a drunken Piece Of Shit he is, how he couldn’t find his ass with both hands, and then you encourage the other much-lower-on-the-totem pole folks to “…stand up to that asshole and tell him to take a flying fuck at a rolling donut!!!”

How long do you think it’d take security to bum-rush you out the door, sorry, probably sore, and if you literally fight back, they lump you the fuck up greatly for good measure before calling the cops and having YOU locked up for being the aggressor?

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah.

Now, make that a Field Grade Officer talking shitty to his civilian boss who’s SO MUCH HIGHER in the food chain, (as a lowly Colonel in the Five Sided Puzzle Palace is usually designated a General’s Piss Boy…) PotatoHead, probably because he’s dumb as a box of rocks is so high on his own supply, he probably thinks he’s untouchable. In Astronaut/Fighter Jockland, that MIGHT be a good trait.

Now?
He should be saluting, apologizing publically, and taking whatever lashing/beating he’s about to receive.
BUT
He won’t
Too much ego
And when a General Court Martial DOES get involved?

As per the AI when I asked: “What is the maximum punishment that can be applied to a retired military officer in a general court martial?”
Google AI answered:

“A retired officer facing a General Court-Martial (for serious crimes) faces the most severe punishments, including dismissal (equivalent to a dishonorable discharge), substantial confinement (potentially years to life depending on the offense), forfeiture of retirement pay (a huge financial penalty), and fines, but not punitive discharge (which applies to enlisted) or death, with sentencing for officers focusing on dismissal and pay loss rather than dishonorable discharge or reduction.”

Either way, he’ll be utterly cooked

I’ve seen what a General Court Martial does…
We had some asshole in the 187th who thought it was the smart way to DEMAND a GCM on something that SHOULD have been an administrative issue (45 days extra duty, 45 days restriction) for which he ended up on 6 months detention at Fort Knox Detention Center, and an Other Than Honorable Discharge and shitcanned right out of the Army, with ZERO Bennies FOREVER. I had the ‘honor’ of being one of the guards who took him to the handover to the MPs taking him to Knox.

Woof!
Dumbass.
Now… this plays into the WHY
See… The stage/battlespace is being set.
It’s not “Riot Season” yet. That begins (my call) May 1st.

That’s PLENTY of time for PotatoHead to pull his shenanigans, get utterly destroyed and humiliated, if not jailed and thus this will allllllll be done to pour encourager les autres i.e. in order to ‘encourage the others’ meaning the Active Duty fucktards that are still embedded in our Armed Forces get the message “Do what OrangeManBad tells you to or we will utterly destroy not only your career, but more terrifyingly YOUR PENSION!!!!”

Oh yes… That’ll do Pig, That’ll do.

And the “Maduro Thing”
OK….
Pretty obvious we had complete airspace control
Like some ‘other’ places I can mention…
Guess what I’m talking about… it’s pretty obvious…
Places like:

Sacramento, California
Denver, Colorado
Hartford, Connecticut
Springfield, Illinois
Boston, Massachusetts
Berkeley Township, Ocean County, New Jersey
Albany, New York
Salem, Oregon
Providence, Rhode Island
Montpelier, Vermont
Olympia, Washington

What do they all have in common?
ALL of them are self designated “Sanctuary States” and ALL of them have told OrangeManBad to fuck off and die in a fire metaphorically… ALL of them when and IF OMB ‘pulls the trigger’ on declaring The Insurrection Act is now in full uncompromising and fully Constitutionally approved effect?

Well,
MY personal Advice to ALL State Police as well as ANY Private Security guarding any and ALL of those Blue State Fucking Retards is that IF you hear a swarm of helicopters coming in when you’re actively guarding the Governor, is to lay down, face first, clasp your hands on the back of your head, and pray to the Virgin Mary that Delta is in a good mood.

Whatever you do, do. not. touch. a. weapon.

‘Cos with the 1807 Act in Play?
The DotMil is fully in charge
To include trials
Which also means anyone dumb enough to get between Delta Force their objectives what’s coming to them in spades.

THIS could be what we’ve been waiting for
I mean they DID rebuild/refurb Gitmo’s Courthouse recently…
That’s the truth.

Oh PLEASE let this be the scenario!
Maduro was a ‘dry run’

I think Big Rakk Six, from my POV, wanted a ‘proof of concept’ that LEGALLY EXECUTED WARRANT on a Head of State (be it Venezuela or California) could be snatched, quickly and efficiently, in a concentrated city area without casualties on OUR side.

The other guys side?
Fuck them.
They chose……. poorly.

What do you think?
Am I that far off?
I mean I’m just some loudmouth on a computer, screaming off into the void. Make of it what you will. I will say that the Google AI Glitched the fuck out when I asked “where are the democrat governors house location by states?” which means I just got ‘red flagged’ again and that second, DemoncRat Governors must be about as popular as pubic lice if the Google AI won’t snitch them out…

So I wake up to my feed(s) going nuts… one of the better vids was this:

Gotta say, that was cool…
Also:

No shytte Aye?
Like CA and I were discussing:

I personally think it’s all tied together… #1:

Oops.
“The Great Noticing” continues…

Then of course, Memes, because reasons:

annnnnd:

then lastly:

#2: I think (besides all of the above) the whole BRICs thing has everyone freaking out in the Fed AND DotGov. Add on the whole Silver Issue which has a smol (25%) chance of causing some cascading effects on Monday, depending on just HOW hollowed out the system really is.

#3: They need the distraction. Between the fucking Skinnies and the utter lack of ANY prosecutorial steps? I mean I wouldn’t even place a bet that the majority of the Bulb Heads involved have already booked their tickets back to Shitholia, with suitcases filled with bundles of wrapped $100.00s. RIGHT FUCKING NOW they know who the supposed ‘owners’ are…

They were the ones who cashed the fucking checks.

Literally round. up. each. and. every. one. of. them. fuckers. and jail ’em until get the forensic accountants involved. Let ’em fester in jail. God knows I spent 3 weeks in the clank for charges that were ultimately dealt with… let the system work… IF they’re legit, then fine.

HOWEVER

WE ALL KNOW THEY’RE NOT

And the braggadocio that the Skinnies are displaying and the lack of self-awareness? Telling the American People that we’re “their slaves” and that “the Quran allows us to do this” and that “we’ll never be stopped/punished” or that one dumb cunt who stupidly threatened Elons life? They number in the tens of thousands IN TOTAL nationally. IF and only in Minecraft, IF enough people decided it’s time to burn them out and exterminate them to the last fucking Skinny within our borders?

Who’s going to complain?
Nevermind actually do anything about it?

ABSOULUTELY GOD DAMNED NOBODY!!!!

No one with half-a-fucking brain leastways

Sure…. leftards would be screeching from the rafters.
Until THEY become ‘additional’ targets.

Internationally?

I doubt “Skinny Cenral” would want to open their mouths
KNOWING that we’ve got no issue with genociding them?

I mean we’d only doing what the Israelis are doing right?

Preemptively insuring the Skinnies can no longer threaten us.
Physically nor financially.

Also:
Who actually gives a fuck about the fucking Skinnies?

I mean they’re like dogshit.
If there’s dogshit on your lawn, well, you pack it up, and toss it.
And if some asshole keeps bringing the dog back to your yard to shit? It ain’t the dogs fault. Dog are gonna dawg.

You step out and beat that fucking owner until he bleeds. Let ’em know there’s a punishment for treading and fucking with your turf. If he’s too stupid to get it, kill HIM, but not the doggo. Lord knows he’d deserve it IMO.

And even if someone does ‘care’?
Whadda they gonna do?

Send a stronkly worded rebuke to the U.N.?

“Bad America, Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad!”

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuure….
Fuck that.
They’ll STFU b/c the majority of them need our $$$

AND on that “Loss/Gain” Ledger?

I see nothing bad that if every. single. Skinny in this country tomorrow was struck DEAD by Jesus himself, it’d be a net gain.

Same goes double for the smol hats world wide.

So make of it what you will.
Me? I got to make dinner for Sapper and myself.

And a Happy New Year to all of y’all who survived this current shitshow we call the FUSA. As they say… get ready ‘cos you ain’t seen nothin’ yet me boyos and devotchkas. Had a very interesting and fun afternoon with an unexpected visit from Concerned American from WRSA in this here Meatspace Environ.

Not our first meatspace meeting mind you. In general I keep intel like that when we ARE going to meet up on the DL for OPSEC reasons except until AFTER the get-together. He was well, and as we’re both, well, truth be told, Sapper as well, the three of us are serious autists and literally we lose track of time while we gab away.

We went and had a fantastic lunch and shot the shit and traded stories for a while. During our discussion, a serious item came up on the Radar, and I need to go into that in a bit… HOWEVER:

I have to get this bit out in the open.

OK: First off… I’ve gotten about two dozen DMs and other messages/emails and the like from a few of y’all asking if’n I done went and kil’t our famously contrarian and utterly ruthless fellow blogger Aesop when I went out and met up with him in Califrutopia.

I mean the man has not poasted since October 10th, shortly before our meet up.

Well… yeah….

I mean I suppose it is natural to maybe think I wasted him, but sorry Filthie, I got “Proof of Life” today:

Of course redacted in the proper places… He’s just out being a Marine, doing the “Jarhead with a fistful o’pesos” Liberty Party Time Mode thang.

Sorry to disappoint you Glen!

Of course it took me threatening him in the messages before that response that I -was- going to take credit for killing him, and dumping his corpse in a convenient quarry or the La Brea Tar Pits or some shit like that…

When I relayed that at lunch to CA (who’s also met Aesop) He almost spewed his iced tea out his nose on that one.

So yepper.
Now:
New Years Eve:
I looked like utter dogshit.

Yeah, I look like a troll who’s bridge is missing him…

Soooo… since I had to work a Half-Day at Ye Olde Tractor Factory after work, I went out and got into ‘sharp dressed man’ mode:

Now
Funny/Sad thing.

The chick at Supercuts who done did the chop? Well my ‘preferences’ are in the computer, but she wanted to know exactly what look I was looking for… she was a few years younger than me, not bad looking, vaguely reminded me of Gretchen… in that hot/older thing… I then said (before thinking about it) that I was looking for that Waffen SS look… circa 1943…

My initial reaction was “Damn! Did I just say that out loud??? OOOOPS!” then I was like “What the fuck do I care about saying that to some fucking airheaded hairdresser thinks?”

Killer thing is she knew exactly the reference.

Then came the obligatory bullshit flirting, her to me…

FFS.
I even TOLD her I was in the middle of a deee-vorce with a former Hairdresser! Hello? McFly? Anyone home? Sweet Jeebus! She was bemoaning how she was going to be “….home alone for NYE with her cat and a bottle of wine!”

Again… REALLY!?!

Maybe I attract the nutters…. I’m wondering now for really-reelz. I mean my counter was that I was going home to get treatment for my genital herpes, then drink myself to sleep b/c the treatment sucked so back and my junk was so inflamed…

No… sorry… OMG I wish I had said something like that
If ONLY to see the look on her face.
Nah… I sort of gave the noncommittal “Uh Huh…. I hear that!” and left the whole thing ‘hanging’ when she asked what I was doing…

Now…
IRL?

and…

Yeah….
No cray-cray strange.

I prefer High Explosives if available, but in this instance, I’ll take home rolled fireworks, which BTW I HIGHLY recommend as a necessary survival skillset and fun hobby all around. LOTS of intel on the webs of “how to” and it’s all legal and right now? The ingredients so to speak are cheap and WIDELY available.

Make of what you will about that advice
Yer never too old to lern’t sumptin’ new Aye?

Now, the “just a flare” one was supposed to have a ‘whistler’ or ‘screecher’ in it if you will, hence my befuddlement. I spent some extra for those to add to the flaring, which makes me wonder if -I- fucked up or if Joe Chink in Quangchi Province fucked up whilst manufacturing it. Not a big deal, just an annoyance.

So yeah… CA asked me about possibly planning a meatspace meetup for a BUNCH of folks… not sure of the logistics but we were discussing a “mutual aid society” sort of thing as in WHEN shit does eventually go sideways, that those of us in the bleggosphere to include this here readership (not you Fedboi, sit the fuck down and file your report thankee very mucho!) to try and assist and support each other because the ONE MAJOR THING we can take this ENTIRE bullshit Somali thing is that the FedGov is complete fake and ghey AF and as stated WHEN shidd (to use the chan term) goes COMPLETELY Pear Shaped, much like the BritCops, OUR DotGov and their various minions of Leviathan are going to be going after the ‘low hanging fruit’ so to speak… Ain’t no one coming to save us EVER and you’re delusional and retarded if you think they are…

I mean I fully expect the wheels to come off, and my prediction?

Given the propensity of need for significant dates and whatnot, the pervasive (and perverted) nature of our intrusive and self serving Masters? I’m calling May 1st, 2026

You heard it here first.

Maybe I’m wrong, but that The close of the first quarter (Q1) of 2026 is March 31, 2026, it gives them a month to ‘wind things/toys/people up’ so to speak either by legit financial crashes (see what Silver is doing and watch that motherfucker… the current bifurcation is insane) as well as April pretty much is good weather for protests and the beginning of “Riot Season” and that May 1st is May Day for the communists who just so happen to be Socialists, Bolsheviks and Mensheviks (most of which if you know real history were ALL of Jewish descent).

That and May Day falls on a Friday?

Oh yeah… it works for me.

Good weather, a few false flags, maybe an assassination attempt (successful or not) either way it’ll get shit rolling for real. Now I’ve been wrong before, and hope like Hell I am again BUT

The whole silver/gold and new ceiling(s) that have yet to be discovered? That ONE needs to understand is China just had a new law kick in. China, which produces 1/3 of ALL global output (+/-) of ALL available silver mined yearly, (roughly 800 MILLION Oz every year, currently running at a deficit mind you) which BTW has been on watch b/c of industrial depletion going on, has made it that you need to get an export license from the Chinese DotGov order to move any amount of silver OUT of China in the future AT ALL.

They turned it into a ‘strategic defense item’ essentially.

Guess what needs a whoooooooooooooooole lotta silver?

AI Chips.
Solar Panels.
Electric Car Batteries.

All pretty much not economically recoverable after use (for now) which means once them ounces are ‘burned’ so to speak, that be it.

Yepper.

Asian Guy on Twitter is an A.I. Based IRL financial analyst, who uses A.I. to project an artificial dude telling the tale so to speak. His link ias here: https://x.com/AGAsianGuy

He’s saying that right now NO ONE IRL has ANY idea how bad the market contagion is going to be, and how silver has, despite the big bank and COMEX interference, is poised to moon-shot. 1/3rd of the planets most needed and valuable (one could say severely undervalued commodity) just got locked the fuck down in perpetuity.

Silver hit $84 and change when the bots kicked in back a week or so ago. At the time of writing tonight? $72.23 USD NYC.

They smashed it down quite a bit, but it keeps rebounding, and even then, the disconnect is pretty profound over the Shanghai versus NYC Exchange prices…

So yep
Make of it what you will.

Best we ALL try to do our area studies and maybe have a larger-ish meetup(s) by either region/state or something, but I’d rather make sure we know who we can count on when the chips are down, and Ye Olde Rubber is Grinding on Ye Asphalt.
Bah
What do I know tho right?
I’m just some asshole on the interwhebz who’s a wee bit louder than others. And the raffle winner will be announced after I get confirmation from the individual if they want to be called out.

Maaaaan I don’t deserve y’all.
I’m seriously thankful for each and every one of you who’ve commented, offered direct support via DMs and emails… you leave me stunned and humbled. Like from the bottom of that blackened and charred cavity where a heart used to reside, I thank you most implicitly.

And now that the weepy hand-holding is over, back to the regular dose of spite, acidic observation(s) and a funny story, maybe two if this keyboard cooperates…

Now… the “Minute of Hate”…

The fuckin’ Skinnies man… fuck them ALL.

God damned worthless scum. I missed out on “the Mog” thank fucking God for real… that’s a shitshow that I wouldn’t have wished on ANYONE. I will relate ONE very interesting fact… I met one of the kids who was there when I was at the replacement detachment in early 96? I think at Fort Hood…

I had ‘partnered up’ with a bro who was cool, a fellow SPEC-4 Mafia member were hanging out when we spotted a “newly minted” PFC walking around the A.O. As many replacements didn’t have their wheels yet, the majority of time was spent there hanging out, dodging bullshit work details and shamming like motherfuckers. -I- had my car with me as me and the newly married wife were ensconced in off base housing, but I still had to report every. single. day. for the two or so weeks every day for all the usual Big Army horseshit that went along with it…

Hence why my bro, who was waiting on HIS shit to be transported down from Alaska (which he said sucked ASS) had buddied up with me. I had wheels, he didn’t. We ended up pretty good bros for a long time until his missus and he split. Gina (X#1) and his wife had gotten pretty close so… Adios Bro… So Sorry! Anyways… this was like waaaay before that shitshow… like in May 1996…

The way we could tell he was a new PFC was that he had pin-on rank, rather than the sew on. That wasn’t what stood out however. It was that he had a combat patch on his shoulder. A very unbelievable combat patch… not as much as a patch, as a scroll:

Now, Rod (my new bro) and I?
Far be it from us being assholes…
Seeing a kid that young wearing a 2nd Batt scroll?
On the Combat (right sleeve) Side???

Uhhhhhh… Wait One….

So we went over and kind of sidled up to him… we weren’t trying to be dicks or anything, but hey… as we said to him “Dude… you know that wearing unauthorized badges/patches like that can get you freeze dried, and buried under Leavenworth right? Never mind if a real Ranger sees you sporting that fucker?”

He sighed…
Looked at us and thus told us the story behind the patch:

Seems during the whole “Blackhawk Down” situation, In Real Life mind you, he was a PV1 (Private… point blank period Private E-1) who’d –just– gotten out of A.I.T. (Advanced Individual Training) as a cook…..specifically a U.S. Army cook: Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) 94B (Food Service Specialist) and got assigned to the Regimental Support Battalion (75th RSB back then) which just so happened to be supporting Operation Gothic Serpent (who comes up with these fucking names anyways?) that the Rangers already Balls Deep in back then….Now as an aside back then? Being a support puke might mean you need to go to Airborne school or something, but the cooks? Notsomucho…

He was literally in “Cook Whites” which for the cooks back in the day was the standard uniform, cooking/brewing/reconstituting whatever the “Spoons” (as us grunts called ’em back then) were wont to do…

that, was when according to him, a blood covered and crazed Ranger burst into the tent, told everyone to grab their Battle-Rattle, and get outside and on the fucking trucks “Right Fucking NOW”.

Per history, this was Staff Sergeant Jeff Struecker who had taken back a severely wounded ranger in a HMMWV and grabbed ANYONE and EVERYONE who could hold a weapon and ran back and forth multiple times, under fire, to keep and attempt to save the situation, earning himself a Silver Star w/”V” device (valor) in the process…

The Head Spoon apparently objected and said something to the effect of “….But… but… we’re only cooks!!!”

To which the NCO yelled back “Well, you’re fucking Rangers now, get yer shit and get on the fucking trucks, we got shit to do, and Skinnies to kill!” Our dude, PFC Snuffy as I’ll call him now, he grabbed his shit, and went out, and then spent the next 12-18 hours in for-fucking-real toe-to-toe combat against the fucking skinnies, the whole time in cook whites, and according to the citation I read (his Bronze Star with “V” device award for record) he slaughtered quite a few bad guys….

Hence our young friend being officially awarded a 2nd Batt Combat patch. His newly Minted PFC rank? Well… that was Army Fuckery for you. Seems after “the Mog” when all was said and done, our young friend had been promoted almost directly to SPEC-4… I mean he went to PV2 that day after shit settled, and he was being treated for minor wounds (1x Purple Heart BTW), after they awarded the Scroll, PFC, and shortly after, SPEC-4. Then, it was PCS time, and he left that battalion, and got sent to essentially Hell AKA Fort Stewart.

Seems the new Support Battalion Scumbags purely hated a combat scrolled Honorary Ranger… nevermind the medals for valor and wounds… they busted him two times, back down to PV2 for the most minor of offences… shit that wouldn’t even need nor require a Article 15 (A-15 non-judicial punishment). I very much experienced the same. exact. thing. when I got moved from Infantry to Armor, with Airborne and Air Assault wings… fucking the 1st Sgt was a fat fucking jealous prick… and that happens a LOT in the military back then…

So it seems the fat fuckers in his Battalion were VERY content to fuck with “Ranger Snuffy” if you will trying to fuck him up professionally, and it seemed to be working until he ran into one of the Ranger NCOs who he personally knew from falling under him so to speak in “the Mog”… as in he filled in for a wounded dude who got evacc’d… The Ranger in Question was on a detail/mission at Fort Stewart where Snuffy was getting fucked with…

When he found out what was going on?
Ohhh boyohboyohboyohboy….
Phone calls were made.
Shit started ‘moving behind the scenes’ very quickly
The Chain of Command at 2nd Batt understanding well full and able as to what sort of shitstorm was inbound… they feared not for Snuffy, nor themselves nor their Rangers… it was the Retards who were about to die, and hoooooooboy-howdy…

Per Snuffy…
There were several “Personal Visits” by some insanely hulked up For-Fuckin’ Really-Real Dual Scroll Rangers (who drank a quart of blood daily according to RUMINT) showed up at the kids Company first to “meet and beat” the kids entire chain of command. This was followed by a visit to the kids Battalion Commander, who had ALREADY gotten a call from the five-sided puzzle palace on the Potomac questioning his command, his brains, and how long he might live after what was headed his way. The MPs?

They stayed the fuck out of the way. It was vaguely reminiscent of the story of when the Gangbangers fucked with a bunch of 2nd Batt kid who were having a BBQ, and got shot the fuck up for their troubles AKA The Ash Street Shootout (And yeah, I got the inside on that one too… might share later)

Needless to say, they practically threw the kid off base in a limo to “The Hood” AKA Fort Hood until they could hide him and unfuck the whole mess… the kid himself told me his Platoon Sgt was looking at a medical retirement due to the (multiple) ‘fall down the stairs’ he took when his Brother Rangers showed up…. and the Platoon Sgt was NOT properly repentant in his petty bullshit… this defining ‘falling down the stairs’ means being beaten until you NEED medical retirement… I also understand that being thrown off the third story of the barracks is bad for your health too… and because of this, it was not an option to not medically retire… I also understand his Company Commander needed to be fitted with Dentures, after running into a door multiple time(s) (what a clumsy dude eh?) apparently and his 1st Sgt?

No idea.

Guy I think is still officially listed as AWOL.
Since late 1995 early 1996

Never fuck with the kids from the Batt.
It will not end well.

So needless to say, Rod and me?
We bought the kid MANY beers that evening.
He earned them.

Sorry about that, I tend to do that.

So… back to the Skinnies

Round ’em up.

Don’t give two fucks Chuck as to how long they’ve been here as they breed like rats and rabbits. Round ’em up. Send ’em ALL fucking back. Fuck them scamming motherfuckers.

That… just because I’m petty

Afterwards? Drop an entire B-52 ARCLIGHT of VX Gas on the ENTIRETY of Somalia. Gas them like the fucking infestation that they are. I mean for real… name one Skinny who’s EVER DONE ONE FUCKING POSITIVE THING FOR THE GOOD OF MANKIND….

I’ll wait …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

That’s what I thought.
Nothing
Vermin

Cock-a-roaches as Tony Montana would say…

Gas all of them. Carpet bomb them. Turn that part of Africa into a piece of territory that when/if Jesus H. Christ himself shows up back to walk the Earth once more at the End Times and looks at Somalia, and goes “Uh nope… fuck that place and them retards, now and forevermore, Amen.”

For real.
They mock us.
They hate us
They steal from us
They murder us
They think it’s funny

Why we haven’t started firebombing their ‘daycare centers’ are beyond me. I mean the Irish and the English (in certain news circles BEFORE they get censored into oblivion) have shown that they hit places with these fucking scumbags still living in there with Molotovs… So far as far as I’ve heard, no fatalities, BUT

Not that I’m making ANY suggestions BUT if You go out and burn a few of these quote “daycare centers” unquote at say at 0200am (when there can’t possibly be anyone in there), and make sure to burn the fucking place to the ground? With a warning for them they need to go the fuck back to Somalia now or else?

I’d be interested to see how that works out (in Minecraft of course).

OK… spite and two minutes of hate has ended.

Story told too… not necessarily funny per se, but I’ll lay one on you tomorrow. So Much Love to You ALL and best of luck on the Raffle (yeah I haven’t forgotten you fuckers LOL)

Oh… and BTW: Happy New Years You Degenerate Bastards and Bee-atches! I love you all!

NGL…
This’s been a stone bitch of a “holiday”
Too much to process.

Too many things found out…
about Others…
about Myself…

Everyone hits a point in their life when it becomes… life itself that is… becomes just -there-.

Yeah…
I’m still swinging…
Delving deep into this was not good for me to a point. Darkness overwhelming… really down. Still down. But I’m getting better…

I hope.

I appreciate all the thoughts and apologize to have set off so many alarms and worries. Sapper’s got my back per usual… he’s been making sure I’m still here, God Bless him. Took me out to go shoot up the woodline the other day. Pulling a trigger helped a lot…

The fact I didn’t eat my piece means I’ll be around for a while… just needed some time to try and reset my “timing and headspace” on my own terms and try and find some peace.

Sure wish I was back in Nawlins to go to that Cathedral again…

Might have to plan that ‘cos the churches here are for shit.
So thanks again for standing by.
