The SUPER RICH are Different from you and me

McMansions are becoming a symbol of their contempt for us if the following article has any validity.
In many minds it seems they are laughing at us whether intentional or not.  I've never had that feeling since I once had a fairly large size home, but learned that it meant nothing but more maintenance, taxes, and junk accumulation.  So I choose simple and as small as I can comfortably get by in.  That is just me.  Others have different views and being a once free country that is one area I still think it is their right to do.  It is the hypocrisy of far left billionaires who demand we do something with climate change or that we all live in cities while they have huge estates and mansions that impact rural lifestyles that seems to be what is getting many people upset about the gilded age mentality many of these Super Rich hypocrites.   One name in particular comes to mind.  Gore.  If he weren't selling climate change he'd be selling snake oil.  Add in some Hollywood actors and you have a really disgusting bunch of creeps.  We also have a national leader who lives opposite of what he demands for the rest of us.  Check out this article.

The Hamptons and Martha's Vinyard, vacation spot for the elites  
 The leader of the class struggle and that most elegant example of pretending at something he knows nothing about is taking vacation in places where the rich carelessly displace the working class.

The Chappaqua Border Wall 
The elites have no problem protecting themselves with the same things they would deny citizens be it firearms or border walls.

As the economy proves out to be the worst it has been in decades and with a growth rate and so called recovery not so bad since 1949 we have a sham of a media pretending to report news of a solid economy.  Rather we have a hollowed out shell unless you live in D.C. or rely on the government for your paycheck or your free ride.

Talk by presidents of how safe the world is under self described magnificent leadership accentuated by the descriptive I said by the gross in every speech, we are in flux and illusion.  Some of us feel that we see through the illusion and mist but reality says that we won't know for sure until hindsight gives us clarity.

Here is what we do know. 

2016 feels like to us the worst year in history.

Nuke Fears in Rio

Reminders suggest other thoughts.

We haven't lived through WW1 or WW2, and WW3 has yet to prove started.

We haven't yet lived through a plague.

We haven't seen economic collapse on past scales and have no real way to compare based on personal experience.

So things are bad but what makes them worse is the pessimism brought on by so called leaders that want radical change most easily brought about by creating division and destruction.

This year will be defined by what the voters choose to do.  Do we stay on the same path of globalist domination or take back sovereignty.  Do we say yes to taking care of ourselves first or fall for the sham of concern for everyone but our fellow citizens.

Things to do:

Train yourself for those things that might keep you alive and with food on the table be it work skills or survival skills.

Save hard assets because as described in the name, they are hard and durable, and likely to retain some value.

Stay alert and informed so that you can make decisions based on facts and not panic.

Best of luck.

.22 Ammo still hard to find

You can get .22 ammo.  I found a local gun shop that always has it in stock but you will pay close to ten cents per round for it.

I found some .22 at Luckygunner and the price is .10 per round or more.

So the laws of supply and demand have made it available if you are willing to pay the price.

The problem is that the price makes .22 less desirable as a practice round when you can get into reloading 9mm and get your cost per round down to the same price or below it.  After almost three years of shortages and price disruptions the demand continues to be high for .22.  It is no longer the bargain it once was so my recommendation is to add pellet rifles and bb guns to the mix of training tools.

Ultra Low Cost Handgun Training with BB Pistols

Regular practice that allows for many thousands of trigger pulls is a great way to increase your handgun skills.  To afford such regular practice I recommend adding BB guns to the mix of live ammunition and dry fire training.
I've been doing this for years.  Daisy makes some of the best and most economical Co2 powered BB pistols on the market.  Just as important is that they are of the proper size, function, and trigger pull to allow presentation, rapid fire, movement, and multiple target engagement.
You can set up a training range in your backyard if you have enough space for safe firing.  What matters is that these guns allow shooting for considerably less than live ammunition and give you some level of satisfaction that dry fire drills can't give you.  Even laser training gets old after a while since no real projectiles leave the barrel.  With 6000 rounds costing less than $10 and Co2 cartridges going for 50 cents each you can enjoy an hour of shooting for less than 4.
My first try on this was with some of the reproduction bb guns like the Walther Copy.  It was an $80 gun with magazines that cost a fair amount and eventually after not too much use it failed.
One day at Wally World I came across a Daisy 15xt on sale for $20 and tried it.
At the time it seemed like a winner compared to what I had tried.  I went through almost half a dozen of these as they eventually failed usually due to gas leak problems.  With a 15 round capacity it gave you as many trigger pulls as your average 9mm full size pistol.  I averaged almost 100 rounds per Co2 though the last 15 rounds had to be fired at close range to the target.  It also fit in a number of holsters that I already had including the HKP30 Serpa.  It didn't fit perfectly but it did work.  I even started using this gun to dry fire to avoid so much wear and tear on my real handguns.
One problem with the 15xt was that the trigger pull was stiff and the edges of the trigger were sharp so blisters became a problem.  I think daisy has phased out this model in favor of a newer one with some of the issues resolved.
The new Daisy Power Line 415 is a winner.  It fits an HKP30 holster perfectly and locks into a Serpa.  It has an upgraded capacity of 21 rounds.  The trigger is smooth and relatively light.  The sights have been changed on the front to fiber optic so it is easier to see.  I get around 100+ shots per Co2.

You can find the Daisy Power Line 415  BB pistols Online for less than $35 at this time. 
Be advised that eventually these guns do fail.  Either something will break or more likely you'll get a Co2 leak.  Daisy has sent me extra seals when requested but sometimes the problem is the plunger that punctures the Co2 gets dull or bent and it can't be fixed unless you're a good mechanic or are willing to send it back to Daisy.  I have a stack of both the 15XT and the 415 that have failed, but in general I get many thousands of rounds through them before failure.  When that happens I just order another.    Maybe someday I'll get around to repairing them.
In the last few years I went through 60,000 rounds using this approach at a cost of $100 ($10 per 6,000 rounds) for the BBs and $270 ($18 per 40) for 600 Co2 cartridges.  This is a total cost for BBs and Co2 cartridges of $370 plus six BB pistols as they failed.  Combined cost is around $600.
Compare that to firing a .22 nowadays at 10 cents per round.  Cost of 60k rounds is $6,000.
Shooting 9mm  at 20 cents per round for 60k rounds.  Cost $12,000.
Do you see the logic here.
Here are the advantages. 
One tenth the cost of shooting .22 ammo and one twentieth the cost of 9mm.
Draw and fire training.  Presentation etc.
Moving and firing that is much safer but realistic enough.
If you want to master the movements this is an inexpensive way to go.
In addition to all of that you have a cheap way to plink and have fun.
(Warning:  Always wear eye protection when shooting bb guns as well as firearms.  As for targets, if you use metal targets make sure that they are located in a safe area with enough distance to take into account ricochets.) 

Practice Sessions


So here is the setup for easy loading so that when the bbs drop past the feeding hole on the pistol they are simply caught in the plastic tub.   A plastic container such as this old tennis ball can is better than the one the bbs come in.  You can pour them easily into your hand and when you accumulate enough in the tub it's easy pour back in the can. 



Have a tube of pellet gun oil to rub a dab at the top of every Co2 cartridge before you install it in the pistol.  It punctures easier, protects the gasket, and is easier to remove the Co2 when empty.

Notice the eye-guards.  Wear them every time you shoot.

I practice with two pistols and have two holsters on the same belt.  One at 3 O'clock and one at 5 O'clock.  You have more practice shots and train for draw and presentation from both locations. 

4 Co2s will get you at least 400 shots, 400 trigger pulls. 
Do that a few times a week and you'll see incredible improvement in your shooting skills.

Happy shooting.

Midwest AK Scope Mount Review

I've tried a number of different scope mounts for the AK and this is the best I've come across so far.





If you notice the low positioning over the cover it gives you perfect alignment.  This thing is solid.

The rail is excellent 1913 mil-spec.

It is adjustable but you need to read the directions.  It is not obvious as to how it works but it works easily once you know the trick that was easily explained in the instructions.

No Right to Self Defense in Leftist Run Countries

Finland sends homeowner to jail for excessive  self defense.

The left is insane or simply intent on destroying their host countries.  How can they justify such stupidity as excessive self defense when the guy was minding his own business in his own home.  He should be allowed to do anything to protect himself inside his home.




Europe in Chaos and virtual Martial Law

This is a great essay by Mac Slavo.

The point is that Germany is expecting an ongoing flow of terror attacks and has notified citizens to get used to it.

With that will come a full police state outcome while still admitting more terrorists at the same time they ratchet up the controls on the law abiding populace.  A similar plan seems to be in operation in the USA, though the number of attacks hasn't yet materialized.  But the chorus demanding more gun control and citizen control has already begun and in cases like the Orlando attack all arguments are against the gun rather than the madness of letting in a steady flow of future attackers.

Add to that the killings and crime by South of the Border NEW AMERICANS and we have a recipe for a police state in the making.

It seems like a well planned effort to most of us that pay attention.

How long is it still safe to eat cooked chicken left out?

I cooked some chicken on the barbecue last evening and brought it inside.  Worrying about flies or whatever I put it in the microwave temporarily to cool down while I ate the chicken for the evening while the remainder was for the next day.
TV on and doing other things I forgot it.  It sat in the microwave from 7pm to 1am.  It was room temperature, about 75 degrees for that time.
It really is hard for me to toss away expensive organic chicken so I thought I'd do an experiment for the sake of survival training.
First I looked online for guidelines.  2 hours is apparently the rule by the USDA for safe handling so it should go in the trash can.  But I'm not a restaurant and I am not asking anyone else to try it.  So what to do.
Lots of other people asked the same question and many said they had done the same with no problem up to 9 hours in some cases.  If if was covered it might be safer, maybe.
It was smoked on the barbie and we know that smoking all kinds of things has a preservative value of its own.  I put it in the fridge at 1 a.m.
9:30 am  next morning - I just popped a portion of it in the microwave and intend to give it a try.  Worst case If I see  any ill effects I'll eat a Pepto tablet to help suck up the toxins.
I'll let you know.  It is my breakfast   Meat? Yes, I know.  It is a habit.  I stay away from big carbs from breakfast.  Protein, fat, vegetables, and some carbs as a follow on.
9:45  YUMMY!!! I hope
Down it goes.
Noon:  No issues yet
Two PM.   No issues and I have more chicken yet since I split it up into smaller amounts.
2:30 I'm eating some more for lunch and this includes a drumstick along with a breast fillet.
3:15pm No problems yet.
10:00 pm No problems.
Next Day  No problems.
I suspect the smoked chicken gave it some more staying power than if I had just cooked it in the microwave.  For me this was enlightening in that tossing food is not necessarily required depending on the circumstances.  In this case barbecue smoked chicken does fairly well.
Disclaimer: I'm not food expert so I recommend you follow normal food safety rules and if you don't then you do so at your own risk.
My point here is that in desperate circumstances I know I have more options for food lasting without refrigeration.  Still, I wouldn't do this as a standard practice but consider it only under extraordinary circumstances.

Germany Lost

If you wonder how it looks to see a country still going through the death rattle of multicultural suicide take a look at Germany and here are some links to confirm that finally now some of the  somnolent horde known as Das Volk are showing a fluttering of the eyes.  

If you can imagine their minds considering and pondering this thought, "Can this be true, are we really being attacked by those loving guests and new Germans."  Yes, oh yes.  It is coming dear friends in Socialist Paradise and Multicultural haven of diversity.

I expect to see what we haven't seen in Europe in almost 70 years and isn't good newsreel footage what we all live to see as long as we're not part of the show.

German fear growing

Germany on Edge
Just hug the new arrivals and show that you care and they'll think better of you and maybe not strap on or go on a truck joyride.

Ansbach, denied asylum seeker goes postal or whatever they call it in Europe. He was an ISIS guy.

He was setting off Diversity Fireworks.  Video of explanation.

Who needs a ticket when you're out to punch your ticket.
He was just showing some good cheer to his hosts before the sendoff.

So, dear friends.  What does this mean for the rest of us.  

Shut the borders and stop taking in future threats, but that won't likely happen unless Mr. T wins.

Next, keep training.  Do whatever it takes to ramp up your skills in the area of firearms handling including home defense and concealed carry.

Finally, stay informed because simply knowing the threat and circumstances around you is an edge.  Remember, we live for information and the lack of it can be fatal on an individual basis as well as for a culture.  You are watching a culture die in Europe simply from the intentional disinformation indoctrination accomplished over the past 50 years.

Repeat after me.  Diversity is our Strength.

Deflation and Hyperinflation

Mike Maloney
We're on the track moving down at high speed without brakes.

Gold Bull Market
They keep saying it and eventually it will probably come true.  Meanwhile, hedge your bets and get some gold, get some food, get some guns, and hold cash. 

Oh, and live life like it might end any day now.  Just looking to France reminds us that we have no real control over our fate if the dark hand of evil wants to take a swipe at us.

The fact that we didn't get to see this until now speaks of a wall of lies from our leaders.

The "Blood Dimmed Tide." reaching our shores. Religion of Peace!

 Religion of Peace 2016
This is such an understatement if you consider peace the absence of life.  Peace will come when there is no one left to resist.

It is reaching our shores and those of most weak western societies.
Migrants in Lake Como, Italy. 

TB in Nashville  

Terrorist shot dead in France after mass murder spree- 84 plus dead.

Deutchland Erwache!!!!!!!! 
Not really, they're sleepwalking.  The insanity of multiculturalism is hard to overcome especially when you have multiple generations that have been indoctrinated.

Terrorism the new normal thanks to weak politicians and the left.

London Mayor Khan reviewing security.
Sure, wouldn't want to have any meanies from coming in, and especially those hate filled Brexit voters who want to stop bringing in migrants.

Clinton to resettle  1 Million migrants during first term alone, future Democrat voters.
Looking forward to a Sharia compliant presidency.


What to do:  Stay home if you can afford it.  Move to the mountains if you can afford it.  Get armed up if you can legally do so.  Put aside preparations for the eventual dislocations coming from mass attacks.

Finally.  Vote like it matters.  If you want open borders you know who to elect.  If you want closed borders you know who to elect.

Pandemic Update: Superbugs on the Horizon, Zika 282 in Florida,

They're here.
And it's only a matter of time until we are back in the pre-antibiotic dark ages.

The Slow Catastrophe unfolding.

More cases coming.

This spells doom for the medical community having control over outcomes.  Surgeries will become riskier.  Any open wound could mean death.  It sounds like the old days in before penicillin.  Likely it will be worse since there are many more people and many more diseases.

282 Cases of Zika reported in Florida

Florida isn't looking so good nowadays.  Think Desert.

Buy more guns and live with more safety.
Get a gun and train and always carry.  That is the message of this article and it proves again that relying on protectors other than yourself is a foolish proposition.

Officer shot due to presence of a gun.
Let's see how an investigation proves out what this article claims.  Any cop now has to know that an unjustified shooting is a very dangerous thing to do when it comes to their own freedom.

Don't worry about the law

@Unless you're an average citizen.

This is the message we received today from a clearly compromised FBI.

The same rules applied to someone of lesser position seem to justify prosecution.

A different set of rules for our betters.

The truth is that we are all at risk of punishment for minor infractions that don't apply to special groups such as illegals.  You try using a fake ID and see how easy they go on you.  If you came here illegally such a violation won't even be considered a problem.  The IRS is okay with fake social security numbers from illegals.

Government officials routinely get a free pass on infractions that might land you and me in jail.  It all depends on who you know and how important your friends are.

What to know:  We are in a post constitutional period where the old rules no longer apply.  The leader of our country routinely ignores the constitution and makes regular decrees that in the past would have resulted in impeachment.

The weapons of government are applied against citizens who dare to disagree.  So take note and if you publicly disagree don't be surprised if you fall under the glare of a malevolent government.

Vote like it matters just to keep your conscience clear if times get sporty and it becomes necessary to resist when all other options are exhausted. 

Meanwhile, live life as if it might end tomorrow.

Prepping for Apocalypse

It can get you killed according to Zerogov.

He has a point and it relates to my philosophy of focusing on what is common rather than all risks.

On that basis it is better to work on handgun skills rather than 600 yard head shots.

It is better to focus on a vehicle that will get you 25mpg rather than a rock climber for your bugout that gets 8mpg.

As for prepping for survival, I'd add that focusing on your health by exercising and having some recreational activity that you can enjoy and pass the time with sure beats working on squad tactics.

Armchair warriors with all the latest ninja gear are often the guys that never conceal carry even though they live in a state where it is legal.  They may never make it to the end of the world as we know it if they take a curb sandwich by local thugs because they didn't work on daily risk.

Pandemic Watch: Gates Foundation Warns of High Pandemic Risk

Gates Foundation warns of high Pandemic risk due to urbanization.
Risk comes from everything but unfettered travel combined with increasing population densities of urbanization virtually ensures that any new pathogen can spread with lightening speed among the world population.  Only those less plugged into the high speed modern life of cities and suburban congregations may find themselves less at risk.

On that basis, I'd make an effort to reduce your exposure footprint by joining the rural community of your choice that still allows you to create a life and earn an income.

10 new Zika Cases in Florida
Travel related they say.  Well, how about reducing travel from places loaded with Zika.  Not gonna happen.

Get your bugout location in place or just move to where your risk is lower.

Bringing Hate to America

MS-13  imported and let loose on Americans
The hate seems to start with our rulers that don't have any interest in protecting Americans and are allowing horrific crimes to be committed by aliens.

170k Illegal convicts not deported 
Roaming the streets and being released onto the streets to harm Americans.

Record number of Syrian Refugees allowed into USA
This won't be a problem.  Right.  Nothing to see here.  Move on.  What a mess.

American Flags vandalized 

Mexican National deported 6 times kills in Oregon 

Where to live.  It's hard to say since our dear leaders are intent on spreading the pain around as well as the wealth.  Here's an idea.  Choosing a place with a low livability rating.  A short list of free services comes to mind since the Feds won't want to send a family of freeloaders into a working area.  How about West Virginia. 

You'll hear from some that WV is very high on the governmental welfare wagon, but that probably comprises lots of disability and social security checks, and not as much section 8 and other generous programs.


Benefits of living there.

Lowest livability rating in the USA.  That should mean fewer aliens coming to town.

Look away, West Virginia 
Population loss every census.

 Sounds like my kinda place.  No offense intended to West Virginians.  I have nothing but good things to relate about my travels there.  Nice people.
