The US government and the economy are a Ponzi scheme.

The US government and the US economy are funded by what is basically a kind of Ponzi scheme, if you think about it. At least 70% of the federal debt is actually owed directly to the US citizens themselves. Most Americans have been falsely convince that we owe China this money. The majority of the debt is owed to us, the people.

Much of the spending, actually most, is on military and defense. The reason that we can not reduce military spending at all, and in turn always increase it, is because having an immensely powerful military is our best insurance against going totally bankrupt.

As long as the US military is as powerful and well funded as it is, the US government can continue borrowing vast amounts of money from the people without ever intending to pay it back. The federal deficit is over $25T last I saw, but that number is irrelevant at this point. No one is ever going to demand that the money is paid back.

Obviously, as a private citizen, large debt is a major problem because the government and private companies will always come after you for whatever you owe. They will kill you if necessary. Think about this. If you don't pay your taxes (perhaps you believe that you, as a private citizen, are being grossly overtaxed and that your taxes are being wasted), eventually the IRS will attempt to get their money. If you continue to hold out, at some point it is guaranteed that armed agents will come to your home and attempt to arrest you. If you resist this arrest, you will be forcibly beaten down or shot. For whatever you believe about this, you can not deny that at some point in time, holding out on your debts, even if those debts are being immorally and unethically levied against you, can get you killed and your killers will be rewarded.

For now, because the world operates on the USD and still has what is probably the strongest military in the world, no one can currently come after the US government to collect the debt they owe them.

New COVID spikes.

All over the country we are hearing reports from the “authorities” that COVID cases are now spiking again and we all need to wear masks 24/7, stay home 24/7, and that somehow right wingers are to blame for it all, despite the communists out rioting and demonstrating and tearing down monuments every weekend.

More monuments are being torn down every day, images of Christ are likely the next target, and then the images of founding fathers on money will come after that. Mark it down.

In the meantime, our side, whatever we are calling ourselves this week, are still stuck on the issue of police not getting enough respect.

I’ve already said this once, and I’ll keep saying it: If white people cared half as much about our own racial survival and respect as we do about making sure that cops (government agents) get their proper amount of respect, then we wouldn’t be in this situation in the first place.

Images of Christ will be next.

If you deeply examine the current Marxist movement in the US, to include AntiFa (lead by BAMN) and BLM, you’ll notice that a lot of the leadership and/or more notable participants and supporters are Jewish. You might not be happy to hear it but that’s just reality, and reality doesn’t change to soothe your hard feelings.

No doubt you all have noticed the destruction of hundreds, possibly thousands of statues and monuments that were standing in honor of those who built this nation. The vast majority of them are white people of European descent.

Images of Christ are next, I guarantee it.

Two political parties... For 330 million people?!

That's what we've got. A country of around 330 million people, of which you could take any 30% and ask what think of any other 30%, and they'll say that they hate them, and we have a system for those 330 million people that gives us only two viable political parties to choose from.

That is pure insanity. Or it's done by design for control. Politics today has become nothing more than a spectator sport, where the voting public has no more effect on what happens than the fans have on a football game.

And what's worse is that the government itself isn't fully responsible for that situation. It's the voters themselves. Try this exercise: Approach you family and tell them that you're going to vote for a party that isn't Democrat/Republican (whichever your family is inclined to lean toward).

See that reaction? That's why we have only two viable parties for 330 million people.

No, this is society WITH police.

I was sent a video today of a tanker truck driving through a protest in Minneapolis. The mob descended onto the truck, pulled the driver out and beat him. The person who sent it said "this is what society will look like without police".

My thoughts? No, there are still police in Minneapolis. They still are there, they still have their funding, as of today. That happened when the full police force is funded and on the job. Now, if that driver had plowed through the crowd to save himself, or started shooting to save himself, the police would possibly have arrested him.

People, that video is your society with police who are willing to follow whatever immoral, unethical or illegal orders they're given. They've been told to stand down, so they are. Now if that driver defend himself, they probably wouldn't be standing down. He might very well have gone to jail for it.

You all need to realize that police do not "protect" you from bad people. Bad people still do bad things, and the police come later to clean up the mess. Police in society more often protect the bad guys from the good people who would be inclined to take the bad people out.

Thorfire C8S Flashlight Review

I was sent this Thorfire C8S flashlight from the administrator of SurvivalistBoards forum a couple of years ago. After some brief use, I started using it in my EDC (well, maybe not every single day, but a lot). I've brought it along on survival "outings" along the rivers in my area. I've dropped it plenty of times, had it submerged in river water when my gear flipped off the kayak, had it covered in sand and river silt, jostled around in backpacks, etc. Just a brief review on a simple and light with a lot of power options.

First, I enjoy having the four power modes. The lowest light is "moonlight", and from there the beam increases in intensity all the way up to 1,600 lumens with a very wide beam. At night I am able to light up an entire tall oak tree. The casing is waterproof and has some high quality rubber gaskets that do a good job of preventing anything from getting inside. The light housing also seems to be quite shockproof. As I mentioned, I have dropped it on concrete and there was minimal blemishes and no reduction in reliability. I am also happy with the location of the button for turning it on and adjusting the power. It's located on the tail end of the flashlight and covered with a rubber cap. Pushing it all the way turns the light on and off, pushing it lightly switches the power modes. Very simple. There is a lanyard hole on the tail end as well.

One downside is that the light takes a pair of CR123 batteries, which are not cheap. I do not recommend using the light on the highest power setting for long, as it can get warm and use your batteries up pretty quickly. Another drawback for some might be the large head and lens. This can make it a bit uncomfortable in a pocket for EDC.

Overall for a price of under $20, I do recommend trying this one out if you get the chance. Let me know about your flashlight EDC.

Added notes: 1. Often I have found packs of CR123 batteries in the PX (usually in clothing and sales) on large US Army bases (Namely, Fort Hood and Fort Stewart) for CHEAP. If you have access or know someone who does, you might be able to stock up. A lot of weapon optics and lights seem to require these weirdly expensive batteries.

2. It does appear that Thorfire has branched the C8S off to "Windfire" as the C8. Same light, different name.

WRSA is back.

Concerned American has gotten WRSA #3 up and running at this new address.

Keep expectations low for a bit. He’s working on restoring function to the little bits and pieces in the background.

This is excellent though.

You can’t stop the signal.

Don’t worry about the police. They will be just fine.

This is a Marxist revolution. All revolutions are marked by iconoclasm, targeting of undesirable people, and system transformation to fit the needs of the new, incoming ruling class. Marxist societies always require large, powerful police forces to keep the ruling class in control. This current defunding and reforming of the police is just temporary. Once the Marxists have control, they have historically placed the police forces in a position of extreme power and stature.

Think about the communist takeovers in the past, some of the most quintessentially communist countries. East Germany, the Soviet Union, contemporary China... What is one thing they all have? Deeply funded, immensely powerful, totally immune state police forces. Without them, the system of Marxist Communism won’t stand.

Wait it out. The police will eventually be the heroes of the state, will exist totally above the law, with all of the power, funding and legal immunity they could ever hope for.

Imagine if conservative white people in America cared half as much about their own racial heritage and survival as they do about making sure the police get everyone’s respect, tax dollars and legal immunity to do things that they themselves would never be allowed to do. Like drive around in MRAPs and carry rifles in town.

Here’s a hint: If you need MRAPs and a squad of trigger pullers to work in society, then it’s a war zone. If it’s a war zone, you have to do away with gun laws and let the people defend themselves as if it’s a war zone.

Safariland ALS 7377 Review

Recently I purchased a Safariland ALS 7377 right hand draw holster for my Glock 19. This particular outside-the-waistband (OWB) holster had been recommended to me by a former special forces soldier, and I'm glad to say the recommendation was spot on. I advise using the link here to purchase because it's much cheaper than other places, and it took about 24 hours to arrive.

The first thing I noticed out of the box was that when I placed the G19 into the holster, there was no movement whatsoever. The weapon is firmly locked in place and when I shook it to check the retention, there was not a millimeter of shifting.

Mine being the 7377, it does not come with a paddle, which I personally am okay with. I'm partial now to using simple belt loops because I've had paddles pinch before, and paddles seem to give a lot of movement of the entire apparatus when drawing the weapon. If paddles work better for you and you want this holster with one, I believe you can find it here. The belt loops on the 7377 are close enough together that it won't slide around if you're using a web belt, or rigger's belt, or some other tactical style belt. As of right now I am using a 5.11 work belt and I'm getting no extra movement from the holster.

As far as the draw stroke, I love it. I am able to get a firm, high grip on the weapon and once I clear the holster, there is no need to adjust to get a good firing grip. It's already there. This holster doesn't require an odd grip on the draw, only to be changed prior to firing. The thumb release, once cleared, places your thumb in the correct location for a good firing grip. I am happy that the retention release is located closer to the body, rather than on the outside of the holster where the release itself is in view of others. Also, the downward force you apply to the thumb release again prevents the holster from traveling upward at all with the pistol during the drawstroke.

The profile of the holster is generally slimmer than most other OWB pieces, which is nice for me. I prefer to carry OWB and covered, assuming I am walking around in a state that unconstitutionally bans open carry. I would prefer to carry openly, but that's a debate for another time. The 7377 has just enough space inside to allow debris to fall through clear of the pistol, but still maintains a narrow profile so you're not printing through clothing unless it's a shirt that fits a little tighter.

Overall, this is a really great one if you need a new OWB holster.

This is what losing looks like.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/06/antifa-domestic-terrorists-take-police-precinct-6-square-blocks-seattle-set-armed-guard-watch/

Remember when our side was making memes poking fun at the AntiFa furries and laughing at how weak and girly they all were? Just a bunch of gender studies degree having pansies, am I right?

So it turns out they’re actually a highly organized, well funded, violent extremist group intent on transforming the US government into a Marxist system, and they’re capable of chasing cops out of their precincts and setting up “autonomous zones” in a major city, guarded by armed volunteers.

If you think we haven’t lost the initiative and are behind the ball now, you’re not paying attention. If you think that what’s happening in the big cities isn’t going to come to you, you’re not paying attention. If you think our side is just biding our time and waiting for the right moment, you’re not paying attention. If you think this is about black rioters getting to steal TVs and Nike gear, you’re not paying attention.

We are losing, badly. And we are still just primarily concerned with making sure cops get respect.

Are you paying attention?

This is not about stealing TVs, and it's not about George Floyd

I've been involved in a lot discussions about the current events lately, as I am sure you all have as well. Most of the people I talk with are of the conservative persuasion, whatever that means these days. Much of what I hear is people asking rhetorically "How does rioting get your point across?", or "How does looting a department store make a political point?" Or they say things like "Burning a cop car doesn't get you what you want." My response to these questions and statements isn't usually popular among the "normie" suburban right wing.

My reply is this: This is about destroying a society that was built by people they hate.

And that's what is happening. Anyone here who believes that rioting is not going to get the rioters what they are asking for is fooling themselves. Anyone who believes that the status quo is not going to change is not paying attention. It's already changed. All over the US there are white people literally kneeling at the feet of black demonstrators who hate them. All over the US monuments to the people who forged this nation are being torn down at breakneck speed compared to years before. If the cities themselves aren't doing it, demonstrators are doing it. The Lincoln Memorial was damaged and defaced. Police precincts have been burnt. Vehicles destroyed, regardless of owner. White pet protesters have even been attacked once they've worn out their welcome. I watched one on a live-stream get hit over the head with a metal pipe. Members of Congress are literally kneeling to a violent minority, and rest assured that they intend to make you kneel as well. Monetary reparations to people who want to see you dead are going to be seriously considered, I promise you. One of the few sports figures who has always professed a fairly conservative, Christian, pro-America mindset, Drew Brees, was bullied into capitulating and apologizing for making an "insensitive" comment. His comment was that he does not support disrespecting the American flag because he has had grandfathers who fought in multiple American wars. This is how they censor and cancel anyone who speaks out against the new movement.

We have no one on our side.

The biggest security problem in all of this right now is that our side, whatever we call ourselves this week, are generally legally barred from defending ourselves. I've seen some small groups banding together to defend businesses of their friends and family, and they should do that. However, I fear what would happen to them at the hands of the system that created this mess in the first place if they were actually forced to use firearms to defend themselves and their property.

Our side has yet to make our move in all of this, aside from wondering aloud to ourselves why police don't get any respect. Or why someone would think looting a store is a way to achieve a political goal.

Is that as far as our side is thinking about what is going on? Asking if cops are being respected enough? This isn't about cops, or about George Floyd the felon, or about stealing Nike gear. This is about a segment of America seeking to destroy the great society that was built by those they despise. It's been boiling for decades. If white America cared about their own racial respect and heritage as much as they cared about making sure the police get respect, we might not be watching our country get torn apart.

If I went back to say, the year 2002, when the US was almost totally united for probably the very last time, and told you that by 2020 Americans would have church doors shut by state decree, that healthy people would be required to quarantine, that police in some cities would be trying to intimidate people into avoiding going to church (Chicago), that millions would lose their jobs simply by order of the state, that people would be ordered not to gather in groups larger than eight (or whatever your state put the number at), that most major cities and some mid-sized cities would be on fire, that half of Congress would be wearing African garb and kneeling at the feet of anti-white sentiment a few days after the Lincoln memorial was defaced, that our televisions would be running non-stop messages on kids' networks telling us not to leave our homes and that white people are to blame for the ills of the world, that rioters would be allowed to attack and destroy but those of us defending life and property would be under threat of arrest, that presidential candidates would be saying that it's a good thing that whites become a minority in America, that reparations would be given serious consideration, our national borders would be non-existent, and that after all that and more, that some conservatives out there are mostly worried about whether police are receiving their due respect and waiting for their next chance to vote at the problem... What would you think?

As of right now, that's what much of our side is doing. Watching from the sidelines, kvetching about police not getting respect and waiting for our next chance to vote.

I have long wondered what kind of difference it would make if 10,000 rifle-armed men marched, quietly, locked and loaded, up to the steps and into the main hall of each capitol building in the US, and 50,000 of them into the rotunda of the DC capitol building, and laid out a basic list of things we will not tolerate, and then promised to return with a vengeance a year later if necessary.

What if?

TINVOWOOT. SPORKY.

Little Brayden is not going to work a trade.

I've heard a lot of people complaining that the younger generations are too lazy or too soft to work the trades. Apparently they're all going to college and getting degrees for office jobs and the trades are suffering for it.

Well, who is to blame for that? The elders blame us, but they're the ones to blame.

They went around naming their boys Kayden and Aiden and Bryson. They named their boys Tristan and Brayden and Brayson. What did you expect? You thought a boy with a name like Kasen was going to become a welder? Or an electrician?

My report on the riots in Minneapolis

Last night I watched hours of riot livestreams via Periscope and a leftist independent news source called "Unicorn Riot". These livestreams will usually involve some leftist commentary, or none at all, but they provide the absolute best views of what is happening at ground level. Lots of stuff seen clear as day that will not be reported by the likes of CNN, Fox, MSNBC, Daily Wire, or any of the other mainstream sources. Either they choose not to tell you, or they simply don't have the ability to really go inside. When I say "inside", I mean inside the burning 3rd Police Precinct in Minneapolis, or inside the mail truck being driven through the front doors of Target, or inside the secondary school where people are inside hammering holes in the walls. Here are some things I heard and saw during these streams:

-Lots of graffiti saying "beware the new world order" and "no church in the wild".

-Unicorn Riot had dozens of people coming up to speak to the camera. Most had messages of violently attacking white people and white owned businesses. Threatening to enter the suburbs and attack white homes. One guy saying they were going to "choke out" someone he mentioned by name, though I didn't catch the name he mentioned. Many mentioned this riot and the level of anger being "different".

-Graffiti was labeling many businesses as "minority owned". Those businesses were not on fire and I didn't see anyone entering them.

-Police Precinct 3 was totally wrecked. Lots of livestream time spent inside the building on different floors. People telling the camera that they had seen police load up in vehicles and left the location under assault by thrown objects. Inside I saw many people taking riot gear, breaking glass, doors and walls. Fires were set in many rooms and then went out under the fire extinguishing system, but then we restarted afterward. Inches of water on the floor. Semi-auto gunfire started up in the building and most people ran. After the camera left the building I could see thick black smoke pouring from the second floor. For the rest of most of the different streams I saw I could make out a large amount of semi-auto gunfire.

-Most rioters are black, but some are white. The whites who were interviewed positioned themselves as what I would describe pejoratively as "pets" of the black social justice warriors (SJW). Well, I saw one pet wear out his welcome among his black "friends", and he had a pipe taken to the side of his head. He hit the ground and I didn't see him moving again.

-Crowds were saying one man was shot and killed nearby. Another one was heard screaming inside a burning liquor store. Many people saying on camera someone had burned to death inside.

-I saw at least four mail trucks get flipped over and torched, and another was driven into Target and was trying to do donuts inside the store.

-Lots of molotovs being thrown around. Some are well made and some are not. I suspect they'll learn. I also wonder when they will figure out that a pile of tires will burn thick, black smoke and take forever to go out.

-Fair number of black females out there as well. Mostly running their mouths and recording on their phones more than anything.

-Some guys out there guarding businesses with rifles. Posing for pics as well, it seems. Long on courage and short on tactical planning. They should be on the roof spotting targets instead of standing in the wide open with rifles. We already know the rioters have semi-auto weapons and were shooting at people last night. If you're going to be serious about this, do it right.

I see people talking about whether they support the riots or not, political opinions all around. It doesn't matter what your opinion is. The right question is, what are you going to do about it when it comes to your town? Do you have better planning than the guys guarding those businesses? Do you have an escape and evasion plan for when you have to shoot someone? Or for when a flash-mob appears out of nowhere?
