Here is a place to share things you’ve been thinking about lately. What kind of things?

  • Recent accomplishments in preparedness.
  • Projects being worked on.
  • Thoughts on world events.
  • Recent purchases & recommendations
  • Current events related to politics, terrorism, crime – whatever.
  • Go on an adventure or have fun? Share it!
  • Whatever is on your mind….

My turn…..

Cars as Weapons: I predict that cars will be used as weapons more and more into the future both here and abroad. Construction of new buildings will begin to have barriers as standard equipment to protect inhabitants. Malls, shopping centers, schools, and government buildings will start the installation of barriers as preventive measures against the growing trend.

More on Organizing & Communication: I had someone suggest creating a forum awhile back and charge a small monthly fee to join. The reason for the small fee it to keep the more serious folks in it and the “browsers” out. If they are not willing to pay $3.00 per month then they may not be too serious about it. I don’t know. It is not secure and there would need to be some way of vetting those coming in. This is a more public way of getting like-minded folks together.

Facebook Alternative: Capt Michaels sent me a link to “Gab“. Gab is a social media platform that was created due to the free speech bias on most social media platforms. I have set up an account but not looked around much yet.

Poll – Please take the time to answer this simple Yes or No poll:

[polldaddy poll=”9812125″]

 

Something for you:

Let’s hope no one sees this over the weekend…..

    Yes, I too hope no one is forced or even accidently watches that awful remake of Red Dawn either this weekend! Greg Ellifritz of http://www.activeresponsetraining.net/10-tips-for-surviving-a-terrorist-vehicle-attack has a great article about vehicles used for terrorism, the guy is really tuned into what’s going on and how to protect you and your family.
    This week has really been interesting, no matter what the President says he’s in the wrong via the media and the left, Bannon is out and promising to unleash hell upon the GOP/Republicans and claiming Trumps Presidency is over, stock market is starting to show it’s falter, summer of protests is starting to ramp up but not how I had war gamed it yet I was spot on about the media supporting Antifa once they got their nose bloodied. The media comparing Antifa to real Patriots and even those who fought in WW2 against Germany just sickens me. Heck, there are sites even giving out where to find a manual on protesting using antifa tactics – it’s at itsgoingdown.com if anyone wants to see what we’re up against.

    All this talk about a CW2 coming amazes me, people we are IN CW2 NOW. Our country is ripped apart, we’re being fed propaganda daily by both sides to fuel the divisions, historic statues are being removed because it offends someone, people have already firmly entrenched their opinions/views on many issues. The only thing that hasn’t happened yet is it going to the cartridge box.

      Thanks jh – great points.

      The remake of Red Dawn turned out well below expectations. I watch it once in a while but – oh it could have been so much better.

      Thanks for the link.

      I agree with you on CW2. History will show it to be true. The big question is what will the next 2-5 years look like?

    Hey JR, for some reason the hyper-link to Gab did not work. Try this one everyone

    https://gab.ai/

    Somehow, through some other predetermined designation, and of course when people are comfortable enough. I will gladly connect with people from this website. Eventually after a base is started we could maybe agree to only connect new people through proxy, (us) to ensure continuity? I found Rourke and set him to follow 😉

    – Saw the poll. I have tried various: Signal, Telegram, Wickr, etc. Here’s a good (but old) link to a comparision:

    – Upcoming update page:
    https://www.eff.org/secure-messaging-scorecard
    – By the way, Zello is pretty cool as a way to talk amongst a group. I do not claim its secure.
    – On the mac platform, use GPGTools.org stuff with MacMail.
    – On the windows platform, I’m just visiting to run FLDigi and Winlink Express for ham radio stuff.
    – On linux, I’m at home. Various projects on the Raspberry Pi hardware, an under $50 computer platform with open source free software.

    – I’m on Gab, but dont use often yet. Better grab your preferred name now though.
    – I deleted a Facebook account years ago and suggest you do too.
    – Continuing to work on (beyond HT) portability for various ham radio equipment. The large one is for semi-permanent use with a Yaesu 897D and various equipment in an 8U Musicians portable hard case. Also have a smaller setup to ride in the truck and be easily transported yet pretty capable. Both are geared to be able to do UHF/VHF, HF, voice and digital. Step 0 was getting all 12V power cables terminated with Anderson Power Poles, something of a universal standard. All battery/sources are set with these connectors so hookup is trivial. Tons of accessories, meters, etc as well.

      Parts of 1st post lost…
      – Signal, Telegram, Wickr etc: Here’s an old app comparison:

      – I use GPGTools.org stuff on the Mac with MacMail. I don’t use windows except for ham radio stuff like FLDigi and Winlink Express, so can’t say much about gpg4win.org
      – Working on several projects on the Raspberry Pi platform, linux with under $50 hardware.

    Would love to see a subscription site where you would separate the wheat from the chaff. Vetting applicants would be time consuming but definitely worth it.
    Have found 36 books and 2 novels off your free headsups. Order a fire kindle which is what I am sending this wth. Picked up the Bofung? radios you recommended and even my wife loves the ease of use. Our BOL is also our home and the backside is 1/2
    Mike away so now she can jerk my leash 😉 while sitting in her sewing room. Thanks i think….

    NYS DEC ( Dept of Envir. Conservation) posted that it was working with Homeland Security this weekend off the shores and on the lands of Long Island,NY to practice drills should that area be invaded by enemies…. This will probably cause a lot of local people out- as there will be many ships etc. staging exercises. The timing of this makes me wonder but I am glad that HS is doing something.Has anyone else heard about this?
    I broke some small bones in my foot a few days ago-thankfully it was AFTER we had filled a dumpster.Very painful.I am using arnica pills and gel and its helping – along with ice and rest.
    I am praying hard for our country and world. Lightning
