Sun Tzu's &lt;a href="http://www.chinapage.com/sunzi-e.html"target="blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Art Of War&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; should be at least read, if not studied, by anyone contemplating any type of conflict. It doesn't matter if that conflict is business, office politics, state politics, or even simple gang warfare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="st"&gt;&lt;em&gt;But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can  never come again into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life. - Sun Tzu&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Western Civilization has had many iterations. Each one building on the previous to the desired end of individual liberty, equality for all, and a just system of administration. It would seem that we, the people of &lt;a href="http://www.banned-books.com/truth-seeker/1994archive/121_3/ts213d.html" target="blank"&gt;these united States of America&lt;/a&gt;, have come the closest to achieving this goal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But we seemingly have failed. Not just us and our heirs, but the enslaved and oppressed around the world who looked to us for guidance, and charity when needed. People who looked to us to be their champion in a battle they were too enfeebled to fight on their own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We carried the light that drove back the darkness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here we are, that light seemingly having grown dim. A new dark age looms with the forces of oppression massing in the gathering night. A kingdom built on lies and fed by fear rises in the gloom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our so called leaders kill our fellow citizens, or tell fairy tales, to cement their positions and wrest away the power that you held and to lock it away for their own use. It began with the&lt;a href="http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/maine-abstract.html"target="blank"&gt; Maine&lt;/a&gt;, then the &lt;a href="http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/snpwwi2.htm"target="blank"&gt;Lusitania&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Tigers"target="blank"&gt;Pearl Harbor&lt;/a&gt;, and on into modern day America with &lt;a href="http://www.constitution.org/ruby/ruby.htm"target="blank"&gt;Ruby Ridge&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.serendipity.li/waco.html"target="blank"&gt;Waco&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://okcbombing.net/"target="blank"&gt;OKC&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9/11.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Reid"target="blank"&gt;The Shoe Bomber&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.forbiddenknowledgetv.com/videos/the-law/foxnews-us-govt-escortedunderwear-bomber-through-securitywithout-a-passport.html"target="blank"&gt;The Underwear Bomber&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now they won't even try and scare you into giving up your rights. They just take them. And the media wants you to be more concerned with &lt;a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/ny-giants-running-back-brandon-jacobs-message-tom-brady-wife-gisele-bundchen-shut-mouth-football-matters-article-1.1018904"target="blank"&gt;Brady and his wife&lt;/a&gt; than &lt;a href="http://nextgenjournal.com/2012/01/the-ndaa-debate/"target="blank"&gt;the NDAA 2012&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And still the forces of evil work to cement their control to deny you your basic rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No fly lists? How about "&lt;a href="http://www.infowars.com/dhs-implementing-no-work-list/"target="blank"&gt;No Work Lists&lt;/a&gt;"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And apply their labels to those who oppose them all to generate fear and suspicion. To drive a wedge between people. To feed them more power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/according-to-a-new-dhs-report-if-you-love-individual-liberty-of-if-you-believe-in-conspiracy-theories-you-are-a-potential-terrorist"target="blank"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like Conspiracy Theories or Liberty?

TERRORIST!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The list goes on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd like to think Sun Tzu is right, once a kingdom is destroyed, it can't come back. That the dead are never resurrected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our kingdom is not destroyed. It is here, in our words, our thoughts, our deeds, and our very hearts. It is reborn each time we take a stand against injustice and raise our flag. It grows as we endeavor to learn more about what the Founding Fathers &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;really meant&lt;/span&gt;. It flowers when we reject the notions and interpretations of those who wish to subjugate and control us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They've managed to take over the buildings that housed our cherished institutions and write laws that no one follows. They yell, scream, and threaten, issue edicts and make examples of certain people and Americans acquire more guns, more bullets, more food and unite to write more articles to teach others what they know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lies that were the foundation of their kingdom have been laid bare, and we chip away each day further weakening its walls. We don't fear them, and our lack of fear deprives them of sustenance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their kingdom is the one dying. I hope to live to bury it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Thus the expert in battle moves the enemy, and is not moved by him.”&lt;/span&gt;      - Sun Tzu&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-5729494567220822745?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/5729494567220822745/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=5729494567220822745&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/5729494567220822745'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/5729494567220822745'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2012/02/lost-kingdom.html' title='A Lost Kingdom'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-5067155099175020826</id><published>2012-02-08T00:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-07T20:46:20.487-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Wikipedia Of Pyrotechnics</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.pyroguide.com/index.php?title=Main_Page" target="blank"&gt;PyroGuide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you've never made home made fireworks, this is the place for you.

Ping pong balls are nitrocellulose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object style="height: 360px; width: 420px"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/csM-s5bhhSY?version=3&amp;amp;feature=player_detailpage"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/csM-s5bhhSY?version=3&amp;amp;feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="420" height="360"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, before you get all excited, the celluloid used in the production of ping pong balls has been esterified. If I am correct, by treating with camphor. This turns the nitrocellulose trinitrate (gun cotton - which can explode on impact - not good for the sport of ping pong) to nitrocellulose dinitrate, a plastic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What this does is reduce the instability of the final product. Hence, ping pong balls are highly flammable, but do not exhibit the rapid combustion of guncotton.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is actually advantageous for our application.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the need ever arises for a water proof fuse, and you don't have any, its easy to make.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cut up several ping pong balls and place them in a jar that has a tight fitting lid. Add enough acetone to just submerge the pieces. Allow it to sit and dissolve the pieces of celluloid. You can swirl the mixture about to increase the rate the celluloid dissolves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What you want is a mixture that is about as thick as pancake syrup. You've just made nitrocellulose lacquer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This lacquer is a primary binder in many explosives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the mixture is too thin, just add a few pieces of ping pong ball. If it is too thick, just add a few drops of acetone. If it dries out between uses, just add acetone until it dissolves again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now immerse a length of cotton string in the mixture. Wear gloves and press the mixture through the threads of the string. Wipe off the excess back into the jar. Lay the string to dry. If you hang it up, the mixture may run to the end of the string.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once dry, cut off a length and light it. Drop it into a bucket of water and you'll see that it continues to burn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I mentioned, this lacquer is a primary binder in many explosives. Smokeless powder contains, what? Ah, now I see your thinking cap is on and you're thinking "improvised shaped charges".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes indeed. Yes, indeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object style="height: 360px; width: 420px"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LudNqf56AFo?version=3&amp;amp;feature=player_detailpage"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LudNqf56AFo?version=3&amp;amp;feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="420" height="360"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basic shaped charge&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object style="height: 360px; width: 420px"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aGfp6F6HhxY?version=3&amp;amp;feature=player_detailpage"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aGfp6F6HhxY?version=3&amp;amp;feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="420" height="360"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;140 Grams of Nitrocellulose Detonated.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-6337828369693445468?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/6337828369693445468/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=6337828369693445468&amp;isPopup=true' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/6337828369693445468'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/6337828369693445468'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2012/02/ping-pong-balls-and-acetone.html' title='Ping Pong Balls and Acetone'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-6123884168074622057</id><published>2012-02-04T00:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-03T23:51:24.394-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Another False Flag on The Horizon?</title><content type='html'>The economies of the world &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;are in&lt;/span&gt; ruin. The people who want to play make believe and print, print, print are not in denial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They're delusional. &lt;a href="http://www.merckmanuals.com/home/mental_health_disorders/schizophrenia_and_delusional_disorder/delusional_disorder.html" target="blank"&gt;Delusional people are dangerous&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One can not just print money based on debt and call it wealth. If that were the case, "I can't be broke! I still have some checks left!" would be a perfectly acceptable statement and not a source of humor. And that is the crux of the matter. The money changers still believe that they have checks left and they want you to believe they have the cash to cover them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2095535/Bank-Englands-glittering-stash-156BN-gold-bars-stored-canteen-London.html" target="blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;We've still got a few quid then! Bank of England's glittering stash  of £156BILLION in gold bars stored in former canteen under London&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.debtbombshell.com/" target="blank"&gt;UK National Debt Clock&lt;/a&gt; reports that the UK owes over £900 BILLION.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think the math is obvious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Euro is on thin ice with what is happening in Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain. China has an estimated 3.2 Trillion is foreign currency reserves. &lt;a href="http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/cndy/2012-02/03/content_14528940.htm" target="blank"&gt;They're throwing in with Germany in an effort to stabilize&lt;/a&gt;, not just the economies, but the governments of Europe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make no mistake, this is not just about economic security, but also political security. Once the power brokers lose grip on the populace, it is all over. The tottering governments can not handle mass movements of populations. There are already severe strains across Western Europe as immigrants from less wealthy nations compete for jobs and government handouts with native citizens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you recall the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakup_of_Yugoslavia" target="blank"&gt;breakup of Yugoslavia&lt;/a&gt;, an estimated &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1992/07/24/world/yugoslav-refugee-crisis-europe-s-worst-since-40-s.html" target="blank"&gt;3.2 million people fled to neighboring nations&lt;/a&gt; and created enormous social and economic burdens for their hosts. &lt;a href="http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,4789691,00.html" target="blank"&gt;Germany, twenty years later, is still working today to integrate, and repatriate, those who fled there&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even the more financially sound European governments would not be able handle the influx of refugees from collapsed neighbors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That loss of control over restive populations is nearing.  The news blackout on Italy's own "Pitchfork Movement" highlights this. While for now, the Pitchfork Movement is peaceful one never knows what will happen as other groups try and infiltrate and usurp the efforts of the people. Greece has already suffered terrible rioting and as the weather warms into summer, they may once again begin as &lt;a href="http://greece.greekreporter.com/2012/02/03/greece-debt-reduction-deal-nears-but-second-needed/" target="blank"&gt;Greece is forced to impose even harsher austerity measures&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blottr.com/europe/breaking-news/media-blackout-protests-hit-sicily" target="blank"&gt;Media blackout as protests hit Sicily.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://libcom.org/news/pitchfork-movement-shuts-down-sicily-fourth-consecutive-day-19012012" target="blank"&gt;Pitchfork Movement Shuts Down Sicily For Fourth Consecutive Day&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.corriere.it/english/12_gennaio_23/juggernauts-slice-italy-two_6e66779c-45b7-11e1-9389-b1111b488a17.shtml" target="blank"&gt;Italy Sliced In Two&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://poorrichards-blog.blogspot.com/2012/01/sicily-pitchfork-movement-in-revolt.html" target="blank"&gt;Sicily Pitchfork Movement In Revolt - Western Media Blackout&lt;/a&gt; Article lists the demands of the "Forconi" as the members of Movimento Dei Forconi are called.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.agi.it/english-version/italy/elenco-notizie/201201251603-pol-ren1062-marching_pitchfork_strikers_keep_out_forza_nuova" target="blank"&gt;Pitchforks Kick Out Neo Nazis&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object style="height: 300px; width: 420px"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZE8jEId7KV4?version=3&amp;amp;feature=player_detailpage"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZE8jEId7KV4?version=3&amp;amp;feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="420" height="300"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Movimento Dei Forconi Protest March January 20, 2012 Sicily&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last thing European governments want are sympathizers and copy cat movements springing up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/17/business/global/chinese-economic-growth-slipped-again-in-4th-quarter.html?_r=1" target="blank"&gt;China's economy is slowing&lt;/a&gt; and they're facing &lt;a href="http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/136963/patrick-chovanec/chinas-real-estate-bubble-may-have-just-popped" target="blank"&gt;a housing bubble that promises to be like 1990's Japan.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you live here in the United States, you &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;KNOW&lt;/span&gt; the lies we're being asked to believe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then there's the deliberate omissions from the news. &lt;a href="http://www.zerohedge.com/news/707568901000000-how-and-why-banks-increased-total-outstanding-derivatives-record-107-trillion-6" target="blank"&gt;$707,568,901,000,000 in derivatives are outstanding&lt;/a&gt; here in the US. In a nutshell, a derivative is a form of credit between parties. Call them Peter, Paul and Mary just to make it simple. It's money that is floated so that the parties can essentially gamble with it. They make educated guesses as to which way markets will trend, hoping to make money on both up and down movements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With their winnings from their bets, Peter pays Paul, who then pays Mary and on down the line because each has borrowed, or been given credit from the previous. If Peter can't pay Paul, who then can't pay Mary, then the whole thing collapses. Peter, Paul and Mary are large institutional investors, banks, and businesses. Believe it or not, these fools even have &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_derivatives" target="blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;derivatives based on the weather&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Globally?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-coming-derivatives-crisis-that-could-destroy-the-entire-global-financial-system" target="blank"&gt;How about $1.4 QUADRILLION?&lt;/a&gt; That's about 44 Million years if you counted a dollar per second.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where the hell is all that money going to come from?

Cut a small strip of tape to cover the key.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aAYH1epdY6M/Tyn0cQyAxKI/AAAAAAAAA-A/sio5lrsiNnk/s1600/DSCF1621.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aAYH1epdY6M/Tyn0cQyAxKI/AAAAAAAAA-A/sio5lrsiNnk/s400/DSCF1621.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704359169419691170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Affix the key to the belt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U9IRKaYrJfI/Tyn0hewev0I/AAAAAAAAA-M/6Bd8lrCcy2M/s1600/DSCF1622.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U9IRKaYrJfI/Tyn0hewev0I/AAAAAAAAA-M/6Bd8lrCcy2M/s400/DSCF1622.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704359259070709570" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Using four more small pieces of tape, tape as shown to give the most flexibility to the belt and reduce the chance that the key will become dislodged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other small tools, such as an &lt;a href="http://www.xacto.com/" target="blank"&gt;Xacto&lt;/a&gt; blade can be attached similarly. This will be handy to deal with&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0BY_HZ4Dh4&amp;amp;feature=related"target="blank"&gt; nylon cuffs&lt;/a&gt;. If you do this, tape the blade vertically with the tip pointed down towards your buttocks. When you reach inside and grab the tape, it will form a small handle and allow you to grip it better. You also won't stab yourself pushing your finger down between your belt and pants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another belt to use is one made of bonded leather. Typically, the inside of the belt is split hide and has a vinyl surface stamped to look like leather. You can separate the two layers and make a small pocket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some full leather belts are made of two layers of leather sewn together. Simply cut the top threads to make a pocket. Make sure you seal off both sides of the pocket or your tools may migrate and be impossible to retrieve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a very serious concern of mine that some of us are going to get grabbed off the street with the passage of the 2012 NDAA and &lt;a href="http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h112-3166&amp;amp;tab=summary" target="blank"&gt;The Enemy Expatriation Act&lt;/a&gt;. I think it is important that you always have some means with you to assist in escape and evasion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I normally use black tape, but in the images I used silver so it would  show up. Look for &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaffer_tape" target="blank"&gt;gaffers tape&lt;/a&gt; if you are able to. Duct tape  doesn't always deal with water well, while gaffers tape is water proof.   Important if you expect perspiration or live in a humid environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are formulations that withstand high heat. Read the packaging to determine if it meets your particular regional requirements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gaffers tape can be found online, professional music stores, at places that sell theatrical supplies and even at Staples. Expect to pay more for it than duct tape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Handcuff keys can be purchased online and at gun shows. They're usually around a buck a piece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ladies, wear a charm bracelet? Maybe you should add another "charm".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-2201944410788397162?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/2201944410788397162/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=2201944410788397162&amp;isPopup=true' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/2201944410788397162'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/2201944410788397162'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2012/02/hidden-escape-tools.html' title='Hidden Escape Tools'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R8YMxol0hPg/TynzcA62rsI/AAAAAAAAA84/rI00rbBYlcA/s72-c/Belt.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-4245461430416402885</id><published>2012-02-01T00:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-31T20:55:23.793-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Use The Force</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2012/01/man_who_swung_light_sabers_at.html" target="blank"&gt;Man defeats taser with Star Wars Light Saber&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The comments from readers at the bottom of the page are priceless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click through the &lt;a href="http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2011/12/hillsboro_man_held_after_alleg.html"target="blank"&gt;link embedded in the story&lt;/a&gt; and read the comments there for additional humor.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-4245461430416402885?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/4245461430416402885/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=4245461430416402885&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/4245461430416402885'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/4245461430416402885'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2012/01/use-force.html' title='Use The Force'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-6882649380957820389</id><published>2012-01-31T00:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-30T21:42:28.983-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Whatcha You Gonna Do When They Come For You?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://innercircle-reggae.com/" target="blank"&gt;Inner Circle&lt;/a&gt; burned the song "&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4MRmEPNUxY" target="blank"&gt;Bad Boys&lt;/a&gt;" and it's catch phrase "Whatcha gonna do when they come for you" into the American psyche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a time, people would settle in on a Saturday night, crank up the surround sound and watch the TV show "Cops" bathed in that almost irresistible throbbing reggae beat. They would find humor in the antics of people whom they considered little more than trash. An evening filled with schadenfreude and a six pack caused some to feel curiously close to the oppressors wearing a uniform. The endless parade of hapless car thieves, drunks, drug dealers and hookers gave the curious sub species of human known as the "couch potato" a sense of superiority and fostered a sense of gratefulness that they were being "protected".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ranchers fatten and protect their herds too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder if the "couch potatoes" will be just as panicked and bewildered as the more common sheep when the round up begins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object style="height: 320px; width: 480px"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NnQNYiUJfM0?version=3&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NnQNYiUJfM0?version=3&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="480" height="320"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object style="height: 320px; width: 480px"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IGgZ8lgGfmU?version=3&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IGgZ8lgGfmU?version=3&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="480" height="320"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The NDAA is an end run around gun confiscation. Why bother collecting guns when there's a damn good chance you're going to have some of the more conscious balk at an illegal order? Why risk losing so many of your pawns early in the game when a good number of them will likely wind up looking like swiss cheese?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's guys and gals just waiting for your lightly armored caravan to show up in the neighborhood and start canvassing for weapons. They've got a real itch to show you what Independence Day really looked like. Why start the party early by telegraphing your blow? You know you don't have enough men to hit every house at exactly the same time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you grab the people with big mouths and big hearts. The lovers of freedom. Those who believe in liberty and have decided to die on their feet rather than live on their knees. Accuse them of piracy, terrorism, child molestation. Grab them on their way to work. Make them the bogeyman. Fly them to a forgotten corner of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happens then?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wind will go out of the sails of many who may need a leader to follow and the guns stay silent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no need to confiscate guns when you take away those with the will and knowledge to use them.

This to enable the US District Attorney's office to sort through, and use, any of the contents in prosecution of her and her husband. Both are accused of financial fraud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judge Blackburn accepted the argument that to rule in favor of Ms. Fricosu's &lt;a href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/fifth_amendment"&gt;Fifth Amendment&lt;/a&gt; claim would be, in the words of Assistant US District Attorney Patricia Davies, "a concession to her and potential criminals (be it in child  exploitation, national security, terrorism, financial crimes or drug  trafficking cases) that encrypting all inculpatory digital evidence will  serve to defeat the efforts of law enforcement officers to obtain such  evidence through judicially authorized search warrants, and thus make  their prosecution impossible."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, to me, that says "We don't have a case. We don't have evidence. We need you to be a nice guy and help us put you away. We're that incompetent."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the passage of the 2012 NDAA, many will find themselves under increasing scrutiny and without constitutional protections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Links to pertinent documentation can be found in the Wired Magazine article, "&lt;a href="http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/01/judge-orders-laptop-decryption/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wired%2Findex+%28Wired%3A+Index+3+%28Top+Stories+2%29%29"&gt;Judge Orders Defendant to Decrypt Laptop&lt;/a&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what do you need to do ...... just in case? It doesn't have to be the cops. Someone could steal your hardware just as easily and crack any administrative passwords. Then they would have a treasure trove of information. Especially if you avail yourself of online shopping, bill paying, and online tax preparation. It could also place your online persona (Twitter, Facebook, etc) potentially at risk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I highly recommend &lt;a href="http://www.truecrypt.org/" target="blank"&gt;TrueCrypt&lt;/a&gt;. It is a free, open source, on the fly (encrypting and decrypting as your machine runs) encryption program. It is able to use multi-core processors and &lt;a href="http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=supported-operating-systems" target="blank"&gt;works on Windows, Linux, and MAC&lt;/a&gt; operating systems. &lt;a href="http://www.truecrypt.org/faq" target="blank"&gt;Check out the FAQ&lt;/a&gt; to learn many of its features.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story circulates that the &lt;a href="http://news.techworld.com/security/3228701/fbi-hackers-fail-to-crack-truecrypt/" target="blank"&gt;FBI tried for a year to try and crack a TrueCrypt encrypted drive&lt;/a&gt;, and apparently gave up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One feature that may very well save your bacon is the ability to set up hidden volumes and hidden operating systems. This allows you to create a very innocuous system that you can boot to and show to whomever wants to see that there ain't nothing there. The system with all of the things you wish to remain hidden will stay hidden.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-5542729709883711949?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/5542729709883711949/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=5542729709883711949&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/5542729709883711949'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/5542729709883711949'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2012/01/encrypting-your-hard-drive.html' title='Encrypting Your Hard Drive'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-4137781068159221789</id><published>2012-01-29T12:34:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-29T13:20:07.587-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Stewart Rhodes Oath Keepers Interview</title><content type='html'>If you were not able to listen to the interview with Stewart Rhodes of Oath Keepers last night on Coast To Coast AM hosted by John B.

One way we can accomplish this mission is by educating ourselves on the impact that many common societal institutions have had on our nation. We can then use that knowledge and reintroduce the original intent of the Constitution whenever we participate in those societal institutions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can do this surreptitiously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No fanfare. No speeches. No proclamations. No one has to know what you're thinking or plotting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two of the most common institutions in the United States are the local police and the criminal court system. Two parts to a whole&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The police are the arms, legs, ears and eyes and the courts are the brain and body of what has become truly a leviathan. Both combine to create an onerous and corrupt judicial system. A system that seems more motivated by profit than justice and is often lead by individuals seemingly bent solely on self aggrandizement than any true desire to serve the interests of the public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a system designed to deprive us of &lt;a href="http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/virginia.asp"target="blank"&gt;life, liberty, property, safety and the pursuit of happiness.&lt;/a&gt; It only ensures it for the select and well connected. The criminals occupying public office within a certain 64.1 square mile district are a living testament to this fact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://rogerroots.com/" target="blank"&gt;Dr. Roger Roots&lt;/a&gt;, who leads the &lt;a href="http://fija.org/" target="blank"&gt;Fully Informed Jury Association&lt;/a&gt; (FIJA), wrote a paper in 2001 and presented it at&lt;a href="http://law.shu.edu/" target="blank"&gt; Seton Hall's School Of Law&lt;/a&gt;. The paper is simply titled, "Are Cops Constitutional?". &lt;a href="http://www.constitution.org/lrev/roots/cops.htm" target="blank"&gt;Read the paper here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The paper is a history of the police in the United States and illustrates the rights and responsibilities that were those of the common citizen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your responsibilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is heavily foot noted (456 separate footnotes) and is written in plain English and not legal jargon. It should be required reading for any patriot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After reading the paper, and perusing the FIJA website, do everyone a favor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not try and avoid jury duty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Embrace it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is your opportunity to be a covert operative conducting sabotage right in the heart of the enemy's camp.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-846185021456598524?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/846185021456598524/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=846185021456598524&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/846185021456598524'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/846185021456598524'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2012/01/police-unconstitutional.html' title='Police: Unconstitutional?'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-504558950913574565</id><published>2012-01-28T11:40:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-28T22:17:42.905-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Stewart Rhodes - Oath Keepers on Coast To Coast AM tonight</title><content type='html'>First,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tonight on &lt;a href="http://www.coasttocoastam.com/" target="blank"&gt;Coast To Coast AM&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://reason.com/archives/2011/02/07/an-interview-with-stewart-rhod/singlepage" target="blank"&gt;Stewart Rhodes&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href="http://oathkeepers.org/oath/" target="blank"&gt;Oath Keepers&lt;/a&gt; will be appearing with &lt;a href="http://www.jbwells.com/" target="blank"&gt;John B.

NO CASH ALLOWED.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A "cashless society" has been promoted since I can remember. Without cash, or easily traded commodities with a universally recognized value (gold, silver, copper coins), one is reduced to barter. One good traded for another which makes trade extremely cumbersome outside of a small community. Even then, the IRS wants you to report barter transactions so that you may be taxed as they see fit (&lt;a href="http://www.irs.gov/publications/p17/ch12.html" target="blank"&gt;IRS Publication 17, Chapter 12&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The US is no longer on a gold or silver standard, and those coins are not "&lt;a href="http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/faqs/Currency/Pages/legal-tender.aspx" target="blank"&gt;legal tender&lt;/a&gt;". Bernard VonNotHaus who championed silver "Liberty Dollars" lost his case and was convicted of conspiracy and counterfeiting. Now the US Government is expanding their power based upon this precedent to try and paint &lt;a href="http://www.examiner.com/finance-examiner-in-national/federal-government-seeking-to-make-forms-of-bartering-illegal-after-court-ruling" target="blank"&gt;any barter or trade using an alternative to Federal Reserve Notes as illegal&lt;/a&gt;. This is contrary to the &lt;a href="http://cashmoneylife.com/paying-debts-with-legal-tender/" target="blank"&gt;Coinage Act Of 1965&lt;/a&gt; because these transactions are private.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Revelation 13:16-17&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;sup style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" class="versenum" id="en-KJV-30925"&gt;16&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;And he causeth all,  both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in  their right hand, or in their foreheads: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-30926"&gt;17&lt;/sup&gt;And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. &lt;/p&gt;I'm not quoting the Bible to slap those who don't accept Christianity as a valid world view or belief system. It is, to me, very troubling to see something prophesied nearly two thousand years ago seemingly coming true before our eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people look in their wallets and bank accounts and see paper money. Your bank account isn't a drawer somewhere with your paper money in it. It's a computer that holds your "money" in digital form. The fact is, there is very little paper or metal coins in circulation when compared to the total amount of "money" held in all the accounts around the world. One could make the case that we live in a very nearly "cashless" world as it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Already in several states, including California, welfare, unemployment, and other benefit checks which were often converted to cash in now disappearing check cashing establishments are being replaced by debit cards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About a year ago, there was a lot of talk about currency devaluation. In fact, if you look at international news, it is still there. That troubles me. Often times when something disappears from our local radar, it suddenly reappears and everyone thinks, "oh, that's old news. We talked about that months ago." and there's very little public reaction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used to sort through my change and keep the silver, silver clad and real copper coins I found. The rest was exchanged for paper money for ease of use. (Easy penny test: Drop a penny onto a hard surface, if it rings like a bell it is copper. If it is a dull "thunk" type of sound, it is copper coated zinc. All pennies minted after 1983 are zinc. Some 1982 pennies are copper, some zinc)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I'm keeping it all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every time a country has devalued its currency, it has left its coins alone. They might do a ten to one devaluation where all of a sudden your ten bucks are now worth one buck, and your bank account that had $1000.00 now has $100.00 in it, but the coins stay the same. If you had $100.00 in change before devaluation, you still have $100.00 in change after devaluation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Devaluation is very easy to do when it's just digits in a computer and also very easy to leave certain people's accounts alone if they're in the proper circles. There won't have to be this massive recall of paper money to replace it with a different color of what is essentially nothing more than colored paper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Replacing what little paper is in circulation will screw the drug cartels, and foreigners who may be sitting on piles of actual paper dollars and definitely hoses counterfeiters because they frequently will not be able to meet the deadline for an exchange.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, don't bet on your $1000.00 credit card balance suddenly becoming a $100.00 balance. The banks don't play that way.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-4392626354615555863?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/4392626354615555863/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=4392626354615555863&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/4392626354615555863'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/4392626354615555863'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2011/10/buy-sell-no-cash-allowed.html' title='Buy, Sell, No Cash Allowed'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-8811805584575598456</id><published>2011-10-12T08:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-12T09:05:24.523-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Shoot First: Ask Questions As They Lie Dying</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="420" height="320" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-3e4a6077b299f5e8" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v19.nonxt3.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D3e4a6077b299f5e8%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1333476924%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D58666546B04022779FE3CBEF83EA1B076E98BA74.643DCAA0031140709BE0837B29C43994E18A13E%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D3e4a6077b299f5e8%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D9rXvllU-jL27n0NhZvtCwIaCjlA&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="420" height="320" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v19.nonxt3.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D3e4a6077b299f5e8%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1333476924%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D58666546B04022779FE3CBEF83EA1B076E98BA74.643DCAA0031140709BE0837B29C43994E18A13E%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D3e4a6077b299f5e8%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3D9rXvllU-jL27n0NhZvtCwIaCjlA&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read about what happened here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2011/10/11/video-shows-brutal-attack-at-sacramento-strip-mall/"target="blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Video Shows Brutal Attack At Sacramento Strip Mall&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things are getting worse. Maybe you've noticed my absence. I'll tell you why I've been gone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is obvious at this point that the people who "get it" have already set themselves, their families, and friends in a position to deal with the ultimate fallout from the great shakeout that is on its way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who don't "get it" never will. What is coming is going to bury them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been finalizing some plans that have been twenty years in the making.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Civil unrest has its benefits. The police and the military are going to be too damn busy trying to protect the assets of their patrons. The large city centers with their corporate manses will be the heart of their efforts. The ghettos, bad neighborhoods, and even the realms inhabited by the disappearing middle class will largely be left to fend for themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in a climate where electrical service and communications may be quite sporadic. The cops have already said in many places that they won't respond to some types of calls and they even want you to use the internet to report crimes using a nice HTML form.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, don't call us - we'll call you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That leaves those of us with a score to settle a lot of room to operate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Need a way to get around when TSHTF at up to 60 MPH and at around 100 MPG?

I know many people aren't out and about everyday, but I am. Roughly half of the customer accounts I deal with are in malls or are malls themselves, and compared to what I saw in the Roaring 90's, some of the places are turning into ghost towns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many "seasonal" or "temporary" stores that are being allowed to open up shop inside of up scale malls. This was once unthinkable. These establishments detracted from the shopping experience as some of these stores are ramshackle affairs whose appearance oozes all the allure of a hooker with an eye-patch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One mall I frequently visit even opened a foreign currency exchange in the middle of the common area. &lt;a href="http://www.alternet.org/immigration/141464/more_mexicans_are_sending_money_to_help_out_relatives_in_the_u.s./" target="blank"&gt;Makes sense if you consider this&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every day, when the mall opens, quietly a group of people appears out in the common area hauling luggage (not kidding). Some nurse their coffee while hammering away on their laptops availing themselves of the mall's free wi-fi network and power from the omni-present &lt;a href="http://www.arnev.com/floorboxes.html" target="blank"&gt;floorboxes&lt;/a&gt;. The silent and hunched bodies, afraid of being noticed by mall security,  add to the air of desperation wafting upon the cool conditioned breeze from many of those quietly huddled there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went through another round of lay-offs at work. Thank God if this ever happens to me, I'll have my own tools and can freelance. Most of the guys use company provided tools, but I buy my own. The stress on everyone from local managers to the guys in the field is immense. I've been trying to de-stress, and unwind because of all the craziness going on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been imbibing, perhaps too frequently, in the evening. My Portuguese neighbors have introduced me to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Licor_Beir%C3%A3o" target="blank"&gt;Licor Beirao&lt;/a&gt;. Good stuff. That alternated with &lt;a href="http://perufood.blogspot.com/2006/09/how-to-make-pisco.html" target="blank"&gt;Pisco&lt;/a&gt; has some interesting effects. If you buy Pisco, buy the Peruvian version (not Chilean) and get "Puro" ( made from one grape variety).  The Chilean variety has this kind of sickly yellow color to it as it is aged in wood casks. The flavor of the wood carries over heavily into the final product. The Peruvian Pisco is aged in glass and carries nothing but the original flavor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This layoff was a result of one of the world's largest retailers deciding to take some of their maintenance and installation in-house. I've seen and had to fix a lot of the stuff their in-house teams have done, and I think they're foolish for doing this, but I wish them luck. There was one store that the fire department threatened to shut down because of what their in-house team had done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love panicked phone calls from store managers. Sounds like cash registers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow, I almost forgot what the whole point of this post was. Must be the Pisco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many of you have "rewards" type credit cards? Think about redeeming those points for something now. They may not be there later ...... or maybe soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you have gift cards scattered around the house? You really might want to think about using those now. If things go south, they might only have value for &lt;a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10011779-83.html" target="blank"&gt;making keys for Medeco M3 Locks&lt;/a&gt;. Have cards you'll never use? Check out &lt;a href="http://www.plasticjungle.com/?gclid=CK_F3LOd5KoCFVAaQgodIwM58g" target="blank"&gt;Plastic Jungle&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.cardpool.com/sell-gift-cards?gclid=COyY6byd5KoCFRl0gwodtEHw8Q" target="blank"&gt;Card Pool&lt;/a&gt; to sell or exchange your cards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Traveled outside of the US and have a stash of foreign currency? Unless you're planning to flee to one of those countries, you might want to convert that back into US currency and go buy some bulk food. Some larger malls offer currency exchanges at their concierge desks as do many banks. Pick up your phone and give them a call.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you have gift certificates or incentive awards from your employer? Time to use them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does your employer partner with other companies who offer significant discounts? You might want to check the program out and see if there is anything you can use. Don't forget restaurant gift cards. I recently found one that had a $50.00 face value for $5.00! That's cheaper than eating at home! Unfortunately, there are none of these restaurants in my area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ummm...you didn't hear this from me, but if you travel for business, a little judicious shopping for restaurant gift cards before you leave on your trip could pay off when you do your expenses. Or taxes. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarbanes%E2%80%93Oxley_Act" target="blank"&gt;Sarbanes-Oxley be damned&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No partner discounts? Check out &lt;a href="http://www.restaurant.com/" target="blank"&gt;Restaurant.Com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's kinda like using your &lt;a href="http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?langId=-1&amp;amp;storeId=10001&amp;amp;catalogId=10001&amp;amp;identifier=8100" target="blank"&gt;rewards credit card to buy one dollar coins from the mint&lt;/a&gt;, and depositing the coins to pay your credit card bill (US Mint pays the shipping). It's nice that your credit card often gives you checks to use in lieu of your credit card in each monthly statement. Guess the mint forgot about that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-3991056508512679941?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/3991056508512679941/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=3991056508512679941&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/3991056508512679941'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/3991056508512679941'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2011/08/your-forgotten-wealth.html' title='Your Forgotten Wealth'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-6324952138688391474</id><published>2011-08-16T16:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-16T16:36:26.532-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Watch: Fully Automatic America</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Click below to view on Hulu: &lt;p&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.hulu.com/watch/91575/vanguard-fully-automatic-america#s-p3-so-i0" target="blank"&gt;Fully Automatic America&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LICkBL60XoU/Tkr-Ez2w-OI/AAAAAAAAA7U/WFwT9lnI_yo/s1600/Mini.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LICkBL60XoU/Tkr-Ez2w-OI/AAAAAAAAA7U/WFwT9lnI_yo/s400/Mini.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641600841827809506" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you wonder why Obama, Eric Holder, Feinstein, Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi whip out the &lt;a href="http://www.depend.com/"target="blank"&gt;Depends&lt;/a&gt; when they think about angry Americans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It also makes very clear why operations like Gun Walker take place in order to freak out weak minded sheep.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-6324952138688391474?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/6324952138688391474/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=6324952138688391474&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/6324952138688391474'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/6324952138688391474'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2011/08/watch-fully-automatic-america.html' title='Watch: Fully Automatic America'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LICkBL60XoU/Tkr-Ez2w-OI/AAAAAAAAA7U/WFwT9lnI_yo/s72-c/Mini.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-8865150370488090504</id><published>2011-08-14T15:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-14T17:39:03.777-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Michele Bachmann's Meager Win</title><content type='html'>Bachmann, while a congressional representative of Minnesota, is originally from Iowa. The media's fawning tones regarding her paltry 152 vote ( less than one percent) "victory" over Ron Paul is disturbing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fox News, the self styled voice of American Conservatism, chortles "&lt;a style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/08/13/finally-here-ames-straw-poll-first-test-2012/" target="blank"&gt;Bachmann Wins Iowa Straw Poll, Cements Her Top-Tier Status in GOP Race&lt;/a&gt;". Ummm, folks...you guys have done nothing but do the cheer leading for this candidate. She's in her home state. And she can only "win" by 152 votes over a gentleman physician from Texas who is alternately demonized, ridiculed, or held in contempt by even many so-called "mainstream" conservatives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Straw polls do not offer surety of success in an election, but show early leanings of party faithful and gauge the relative strengths of candidates organizations. Mitt Romney's ill fated 2007 primary campaign is a prime example. Romney started fast out of the gate and showed promise among the rank and file of the GOP, even those identifying themselves as "evangelical Christians", but somehow the Republican leadership offered America the "no-choice, no chance" duo of McCain and Palin. Romney, was sabotaged by his own party when people questioned his faith (Mormon),  while similar questions about Obama's Muslim Roots were taboo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been watching this odd contest with interest. Something doesn't sit right with me. Someone is gaming the system and setting up a catastrophe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what I've noticed that is most troubling to me:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) WAY TOO MANY players in the pool. Rick Perry, Ron Paul, Michelle Bachman, Tim Pawlenty, Rick Santorum, Herman Cain, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, John Huntsman, and Thad McCotter. There are others with small campaigns that receive no air time from the media, so its hard to get the message out, but they're there. Then there are those hanging around the pool like Rudolph Giuliani and Sarah Palin. These jokers are keeping the door open for a potential bid. Maybe just in case the wrong person gets too much traction, the system will throw in another face hoping to draw off support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After yesterday, Pawlenty is out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems like someone is intentionally attempting to dilute the poll numbers. Gingrich is as discredited as Obama, and yet someone has induced him to run. Given the expense of campaigning, who is picking up the bill? Newt knew the odds going in to this, poor ratings among voters (&lt;a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/gingrich-fake-twitter-followers-2011-8" target="blank"&gt;he's even having to fake Twitter Followers&lt;/a&gt;), cash problems, staff problems had to be noticed by himself. Yet here he is, and after garnering only 385 votes yesterday he hasn't withdrawn. Pawlenty received 2293 votes and &lt;a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2011/08/14/us-pawlenty-presidency.html" target="blank"&gt;he saw the writing on the wall and bailed out&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Rick Perry. The guy is another Bush or Clinton. He's overseen the sale of quite a bit of Texas infrastructure to foreign nations, and still &lt;a href="http://transtexascorridor.blogspot.com/" target="blank"&gt;seeks to push through what was once called the "Trans-Texas Corridor"&lt;/a&gt;. Given the mood of the country, is this guy really someone who should be sitting in the Oval Office?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Bachmann's background. Bachmann studied with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Eidsmoe" target="blank"&gt;John Eidsmore&lt;/a&gt; at the OW Coburn School of Law, then part of Oral Roberts University. Bachmann cited Eidsmore as "one of the professors who had a great influence on me" (Read "The New Yorker" article "&lt;a href="http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/08/15/110815fa_fact_lizza?currentPage=all" target="blank"&gt;Leap Of Faith&lt;/a&gt;").  Eidmsore  states in his book "&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Christianity-Constitution-Faith-Founding-Fathers/dp/0801052319" target="blank"&gt;Christianity And The Constitution&lt;/a&gt;" that the United States was originally founded as a "theocracy" and that it would again, one day, be returned to a Christian Theocracy. Bachmann worked as a researcher on the book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a Christian, I find that idea repugnant and offensive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bachmann has &lt;a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2011/06/michele-bachmann-confuses-john-wayne-gacy-with-the-duke.html" target="blank"&gt;confused John Wayne, the movie star,  with John Wayne Gacy&lt;/a&gt;, the serial killer. She has &lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1008/14684.html" target="blank"&gt;made statements&lt;/a&gt;, then &lt;a href="http://www.npr.org/2011/06/29/137496659/full-transcript-michele-bachmann-speaks-to-npr" target="blank"&gt;later retracted those statements&lt;/a&gt; she made about Obama, and later said &lt;a href="http://www.mediaite.com/tv/michele-bachmann-regrets-saying-obama-has-anti-american-views/" target="blank"&gt;she was right by slightly shifting the focus&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bachmann's background, and statements will make for plenty of political hay if she receives the nomination, which could hand the Democrat Party (and their allies in the Republican Party) a pretty handy foil to try and ward off further gains by a now emboldened Tea Party, which Bachmann claims to represent, and others interested in regaining a legally and ethically operated Federal Government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her apparent endorsement of Eidsmore's work will put her diametrically opposite those working towards the implementation of another theocratic state within the US. Islam&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not to mention those who want to keep religion out of government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my opinion, these are the types of distractions that help to keep the current system in place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's obvious who won yesterday in Iowa. Best wishes to the gentleman from Texas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-8865150370488090504?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/8865150370488090504/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=8865150370488090504&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/8865150370488090504'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/8865150370488090504'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2011/08/michele-bachmanns-meager-win.html' title='Michele Bachmann&apos;s Meager Win'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-6676811385607747104</id><published>2011-08-13T11:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-13T12:49:17.924-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Are You Mentally Prepared?</title><content type='html'>Over at "Don't Tread On Me", Silver Shield writes "&lt;a href="http://dont-tread-on.me/5-reasons-why-american-riots-will-be-the-worst-in-the-world/"target="blank"&gt;5 Reasons Why American Riots Will Be The Worst In The World&lt;/a&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is my thought that Silver Shield leaves out something very important. Tribalism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans, who frequently like to put on the happy face of a united front against any aggressor, are in reality a deeply divided people. We divide along race, ethnicity, national origin, language, belief systems, age, political affiliation, and income brackets. Even sports teams, schools, neighborhoods, cities, states, what car you drive, what designer labels you wear, where you shop can lead to a divide being created between people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently this has been highlighted by the &lt;a href="http://millbrae.patch.com/articles/suspects-in-bryan-stow-beating-plead-not-guilty"target="blank"&gt;beating of a San Francisco Giant's fan at the Los Angeles Dodger's stadium&lt;/a&gt; following the game between the two teams. This was followed by "&lt;a href="http://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2011/04/beat_a_dodgers_day_craigslist.php"target="blank"&gt;Beat A Dodger Day&lt;/a&gt;" promoted on &lt;a href="http://craigslist.com/"target="blank"&gt;Craigslist&lt;/a&gt; where&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I support the murder of a Dodgers fan" says:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;When the Dodgers come to AT@T,..some Mexican in Dodger gear,..fuck it, do it,..nobody would blame you...might even be rewarded.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Violence at sporting events between fans is nothing new, and often spills out into &lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1287588/Riots-LA-streets-Lakers-WIN-NBA-basketball-championship.html"target="blank"&gt;post game riots&lt;/a&gt;. It has always amazed me that something as trivial and inconsequential as children's games being played by adults would result in such asinine behavior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even among new immigrants, illegal or otherwise, old divisions are brought to this land.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.manhattanstyle.com/news/only-in-new-york-sword-fight-breaks-out-at-sikh-temple/"target="blank"&gt;Sword Fight At Sikh Temple&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://media.nbcnewyork.com/designvideo/embeddedPlayer.swf" flashvars="v=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbcnewyork.com%2Fi%2Fembed_new%2F%3Fcid%3D120738319%26path=${encodedPath}" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="420" height="324"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that's not all:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://chucksconnection.com/articles/your-sneakers-or-your-life.html"target="blank"&gt;Kids get killed over shoes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kolotv.com/caravan/headlines/Police_Non-Gang_Member_Killed_For_Wearing_Red_114249049.html"target="blank"&gt;Man killed over wearing the wrong color jacket&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_Up_a_White_Kid_Day"target="blank"&gt;Beat Up A White Kid Day&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article/581399/201108121905/Concealing-Black-Hate-Crimes.htm"target="blank"&gt;Concealing Black Hate Crimes&lt;/a&gt; - Investors Business Daily of all places&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/08/06/mississippi.hate.crime/index.html"target="blank"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;White Kids Kill Black Man&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You ever wonder why there are places called "China Town", "Little Italy", and similar?

&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;they were small roofing tacks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;This bolstered my ego.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I was very critical of my country in the last war, and seized every opportunity to bash my country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country's economy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better, and every poor person would be fed and housed for free.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;It was the free market, banks and corporations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I decided to start making citizens hate them and, if they became envious of others who did well,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;the plan was clinched tight.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I called mine "A People's Campaign".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;That sounded good to all people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics and was able to gain widespread popular support.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I knew that, if I merely offered the people 'hope', together we could change our country and the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include "persecuted minorities".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;My true views were not widely known and I kept them unknown, until after I became my nation's leader.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with. I'm glad they  didn't.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Then I became the most powerful man in the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;And then the world learned the truth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Who am I?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9-zqwk3sLrg/Tj7Mx4GWwtI/AAAAAAAAA60/NitXRWS4aXM/s1600/Adolf.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 227px; height: 278px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9-zqwk3sLrg/Tj7Mx4GWwtI/AAAAAAAAA60/NitXRWS4aXM/s400/Adolf.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638168940759139026" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;center&gt;ADOLPH  HITLER&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eds note:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you were thinking it was this guy:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GEu6Lp9hT3g/Tj7QDT4U49I/AAAAAAAAA7M/yjV1HSieSTw/s1600/time%2Bobama%2Bcover.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 301px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GEu6Lp9hT3g/Tj7QDT4U49I/AAAAAAAAA7M/yjV1HSieSTw/s400/time%2Bobama%2Bcover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638172538809148370" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/0,28757,1861543,00.html" target="blank"&gt;Obama: Time's Person Of The Year 2008&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or maybe you were right:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LMmybS1vvns/Tj7Ok-CX_jI/AAAAAAAAA7E/EhMwt5kB5TI/s1600/hitler-time_man_of_year_1938.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 201px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LMmybS1vvns/Tj7Ok-CX_jI/AAAAAAAAA7E/EhMwt5kB5TI/s400/hitler-time_man_of_year_1938.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638170918038011442" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;center&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.scrapbookpages.com/DachauMemorial/TimeCover.html" target="blank"&gt;Adolf Hitler: Time's "Man Of The Year 1938"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The show is always the same.

Stryker</title><content type='html'>Foreign nations around the globe have begun to deploy armor against a restive public. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bashar_al-Assad" target="blank"&gt;Bashar Assad&lt;/a&gt; has unleashed armored units against his people in Northern Syria resulting in hundreds of dead and at least one thousand wounded in the cities of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hama" target="blank"&gt;Hama&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deir_ez-Zor" target="blank"&gt;Deir Al-Zur&lt;/a&gt;. His attacks have spread to the cities of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homs" target="blank"&gt;Homs&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idlib" target="blank"&gt;Idib&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ar-Raqqah" target="blank"&gt;Ar-Raqqah&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Bukamal" target="blank"&gt;Abu Kemal&lt;/a&gt;. The population of these cities is estimated to be near 3.5 million.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="420" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1ROqAcX2BJk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The disintegration of the fabric of American society is underway as highlighted by the increasing number of incidents of random violence and the decline of the number of police on our streets. Rising unemployment, declining services, rising inflation, declining property values, an increasing number of foreigners who refuse to assimilate into American society and an increasing number of people demanding special rights and privileges coupled with increasingly over-reaching laws and an often draconian response from remaining law enforcement is like a sweating stick of dynamite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama's tenuous grasp in Washington highlighted by the Debt Ceiling charade and &lt;a href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll" target="blank"&gt;his current rating of -19 in Rasmussen polling&lt;/a&gt; bode ill for his 2012 aspirations. Obama's desire to portray the strong man in a nation with an increasingly unstable economy, and society coupled with his will to use military force may be the hammer that gets dropped into that case of wet dynamite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If military forces, our own or foreign peacekeeping troops, are deployed within the United States under the guise of maintaining order; they're not going to be walking around in the streets alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They will have support in the form of helicopters and light and medium armor. The average bunch of hunting buddies would be a serious problem for foot soldiers if they were left unsupported. I doubt we would see fixed wing aircraft and heavy armor in use, at least initially.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hence, we need to start examining the hardware we are most likely face in the field. We need to know its profile, so that it may be recognized. We need to know its strengths and weaknesses so as to be best able to capture or defeat it and its crew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the most popular Light Armored Vehicles (LAV) in use is the Stryker built by &lt;a href="http://www.gdls.com/" target="blank"&gt;General Dynamics Land Systems&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o56a7ONWdDA/Tjd61_oZ_zI/AAAAAAAAA48/fac6sScMezI/s1600/m1126-stryker.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 306px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o56a7ONWdDA/Tjd61_oZ_zI/AAAAAAAAA48/fac6sScMezI/s400/m1126-stryker.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636108526710030130" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;center&gt;M1126 Infantry Carrier Vehicle&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Stryker comes in a variety of flavors.

Slat armor increases the resistance to RPG rounds at the cost of maneuverability.

(AP) &lt;/a&gt;— More than two  dozen assault rifles have been stolen from a Southern California  military base, and investigators sought the public's help as they looked  to arrest suspects and recover the weapons, federal officials said  Friday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="excerpt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Ya don't say.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p&gt;Twenty-six AK-74 assault rifles and one Dragunov sniper  rifle were stolen from a supply warehouse at Fort Irwin in San  Bernardino County on July 15, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms  and Explosives says in a statement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Dude, that was like 2 weeks ago, and you're just talking about it now?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some arrests have been made  and one rifle has been recovered, but the agency is offering a reward of  up to $10,000 for information leading to further arrests, the statement  said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Okay.....so who have you arrested, and which rifle did you get? I want to know if I should be checking the bushes for the Drag...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;              &lt;p&gt;"Community participation is necessary to improve the likelihood that  ATF and our law enforcement partners will track down the firearms as  well as the criminals who have sought to destabilize our community  through illegal activity," ATF Special Agent in Charge John A. Torres  said in the statement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Uh, huh....sounds to me like you kids didn't properly secure your weapons. Which one of you is going to jail if a kid gets shot? I mean that's what would happen to any one of us here in California.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;ATF spokesman Special Agent Christian Hoffman could  not say when reached by phone how many were arrested, whether they were  military or civilian or what motive they may have had.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;"Could" not say or "would" not say? I want to know if this was another "Fast and Furious" op gone awry. AK's? Drag? Not likely standard issue for armored cav or a support brigade which call Ft. Irwin home. Training? Maybe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;He referred those questions to military officials,  who made the arrests. Phone and email messages left late Friday for a  spokesman from the U.S. Army Criminal Investigations Command, which is  investigating the theft along with the ATF and the FBI, were not  immediately returned.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Army made the arrests, eh? Probably illegal aliens serving in the forces hoping to get citizenship. God knows where the hardware is by now. Maybe I should be checking the bushes alongside the roads since the idiots are probably spooked since their "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);" href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=compa" target="blank"&gt;compas&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;" are all in the stockade.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;Hoffman also could not say why word of the theft  did not become public for two weeks, but said his agency decided to  issue a news release because of the potential danger the loose weapons  posed.&lt;/p&gt;                   &lt;p&gt;"We determined that there was a public safety issue with the guns getting out on the street," he said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;OMG!

Time is on your side. You have food, water, shelter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prepare yourself psychologically for loses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never allow the opponent to gain control of the situation. He may have temporary tactical superiority, but you have the advantage of knowing what is available to you because you have planned. Read &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elfego_Baca" target="blank"&gt;the story of Elfago Baca&lt;/a&gt; for an interesting idea. This is ideal if you're on a hill or rise and do not have to worry about flooding during rains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wound as many opponents as possible to eat up their resources and sow fear and doubt.  You can always kill them later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are able to capture one of your opponents, take the opportunity to make sure the compatriots of the individual can hear his/her screams. This may provoke an unthinking emotional response from a lover, friend or family member thus exposing their position and possible positions of others. This is no time to be "civilized".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you can't get a response, kill and "cook" a portion of the individual and "share" it with your attackers. Wrap it up, attach a note, and toss it out a window. Use psychological warfare tactics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A grenade in the dark is always fun. Especially if they've already encountered some of your booby traps. Keep them off balance and guessing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Allow no survivors. Take no prisoners. No exceptions. NO EXCEPTIONS! You can't watch them 24/7. You can't trust them. Again, this is no time to be civilized!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be prepared to deal with the emotional effects of the incident on your party afterwards. This is when you will be extremely vulnerable and you need to have prepared people ahead of time for the possibility of raiders and the outcome of the raid.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-7870098827657291829?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/7870098827657291829/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=7870098827657291829&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/7870098827657291829'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/7870098827657291829'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2011/07/video-from-new-america-now-blog.html' title='Video From New America Now Blog'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/DOo9bjLtL3Q/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-1927237805915257423</id><published>2011-07-27T09:01:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-27T09:40:29.041-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sources For Surplus Military Vehicles including Armor</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L4mCBP3mKUg/TjA3tnhqu3I/AAAAAAAAA3s/cT3YVfjjNDo/s1600/ScudB.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L4mCBP3mKUg/TjA3tnhqu3I/AAAAAAAAA3s/cT3YVfjjNDo/s400/ScudB.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634064390684326770" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dvHecV_ChQc/TjA3Nv9KQ0I/AAAAAAAAA3k/1GVNOvAMCiE/s1600/ScudB.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.russianmilitary.co.uk/details.php?headers=land&amp;amp;sub_headers=WHEEL-PRIME%20MOVER&amp;amp;id=179" target="blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Maz543 ScudB Missile Launcher for sale&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Yes, there is a missile on-board&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Might be something appropriate to pull up to the next Glenn Beck rally at the nation's capitol with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.armyjeeps.net/armor1.htm" target="blank"&gt;Military Vehicle Sales&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mostly WWII collector vehicles including Half-Tracks, Scout Cars, Sherman, Grizzly, and Stuart Tanks.

Getting out in front of a cluster f*^% like this means the difference the public losing interest and perhaps a repeat of the &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/watergate/"target="blank"&gt;Watergate Scandal&lt;/a&gt;. All this accomplished through the manipulation and control of information with the complicity of a willing media who still are, by and large, in love with &lt;a href="http://my.telegraph.co.uk/reasonmclucus/reasonmclucus/15517245/Seven_African_Ancestry_American_Presidents__/"target="blank"&gt;His Blackness&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is evidence that has surfaced since Watergate that &lt;a href="http://watergateexposed.com/"target="blank"&gt;Nixon was  unaware of what was transpiring, and that the burglary was botched  intentionally to implicate Nixon&lt;/a&gt;. If Nixon had not engaged in the  cover-up and had sacrificed some of his political pawns, his presidency may have survived the scandal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would appear that political strategists have learned from Watergate, and unlike Nixon, &lt;a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/308980"target="blank"&gt;there is &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;ample direct&lt;/span&gt; evidence that links Obama directly to these activities&lt;/a&gt;. Yet, he has managed to remain largely removed from most of the fallout. He may lose some allies like Eric Holder, but in effect, Holder is just a minor piece on the board. One that is easily replaced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/THiKbZCeKJI" allowfullscreen="" width="420" frameborder="0" height="349"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Judge John Roll was assassinated in Tucson, and Rep G. Giffords was shot, Obama made the statement to anti-gun zealots that he was "working behind the scenes" on additional gun control measures. Judge Roll, in my opinion,  was forcibly retired for making waves by &lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704030704576070450972767460.html"target="blank"&gt;trying to have a judicial emergency declared&lt;/a&gt; and in“&lt;a href="http://dockets.justia.com/docket/arizona/azdce/4:2010cv00703/568697/"target="blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;United States of America v. $333,520.00 in United States Currency et al&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;”  – Case Number: 4:2010cv00703 Filed: November 30, 2010 – where Judge Roll  stated he was preparing to rule against Barack Obama’s power to  confiscate the assets of American people without a crime having been  committed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was Judge Roll a target of Obama's Extra Judicial Execution Warrants?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5qzs-57av0s" allowfullscreen="" width="420" frameborder="0" height="349"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you noticed how these stories have disappeared from the news? The Arizona shooting (emphasis, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;we are not talking about Rep. G. Giffords&lt;/span&gt;, but the actual shooting and the suspect)  and the extra-judicial assassinations? How long was &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre"target="blank"&gt;Columbine&lt;/a&gt; regularly in the news?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we have the tragedy in Norway. Things really look weird trying to figure out what was going on there, especially since Norway already has fairly strict gun control measures. Norway has &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_Norway"target="blank"&gt;true gun control&lt;/a&gt;, and not a gun ban in place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is even more odd is that on &lt;a href="http://www.iansa.org/event/2011/02/side-event-seminar-att-and-development-provisional-title"target="blank"&gt;March 2, 2011, Norway&lt;/a&gt; co-organized "&lt;a href="http://www.un.org/disarmament/convarms/ATTPrepCom/Documents/Side-Events/2011_Feb_Side_Events/2011_02_24_ATT_Side_events_PrepCom_Feb_March_session.pdf"target="blank"&gt;Savings Lives: Preventing Gun Violence Through the Arms Trade Treaty&lt;/a&gt;" at the United Nations. You can read a &lt;a href="http://www.ippnw.org/afp/un-att-2011.html"target="blank"&gt;report on the conference over here at the IPPNW website&lt;/a&gt;. Documents from the conference can be &lt;a href="http://www.reachingcriticalwill.org/legal/att/prepcom2/index.html"target="blank"&gt;found here&lt;/a&gt;. This is the treaty that Obama and company are so enamored with and want to use to strip you of your Second Amendment Rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is a message being sent and to whom?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regardless of just what is going on, who is involved, and why; you need to prepare for what seems to be coming with near certainty. Gun registration, and then confiscation. Many are not going to go along with it, and plenty of cops are going to be wondering if their $70K a year is worth facing a neighborhood of armed opponents with unpaid parking tickets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are coming late to the party, or have been sitting on the fence about owning firearms, there is still time. You can make your own if you wish or buy an inexpensive serviceable weapon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thehomegunsmith.com/"target="blank"&gt;The Home Gunsmith is back online&lt;/a&gt; after the owner, Philip Luty, was originally sent to prison and later died of cancer.

The prisoner is currently suing the prison because he isn't being approved for a work release program. &lt;a href="http://money.cnn.com/2011/07/20/news/companies/dennis_kozlowski_sues_new_york_prisons.fortune/" target="blank"&gt;He is upset because others like himself have not seen any jail time, and says that it galls him.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EdlcQX1uzZk/Tij-B94cJvI/AAAAAAAAA3E/yZJT1GO9zmI/s1600/kozlowski.jpg" target="blank"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 265px; height: 316px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EdlcQX1uzZk/Tij-B94cJvI/AAAAAAAAA3E/yZJT1GO9zmI/s400/kozlowski.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632030643771418354" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://money.cnn.com/2009/11/20/news/companies/tyco_kozlowski.fortune/index.htm" target="blank"&gt;It stuns me that some are calling for clemency.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This last round of "ethics" training had disturbing content which I brought to the attention of my supervisor. I was very uncomfortable in participating in what amounted to persecution of a particular ethnic group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the training, situations were shown where people were making unethical decisions, and engaged in unethical business practices. Every single one of the people who were engaged in the unethical behavior were White. Everyone who "corrected" the mistakes were non-white. The "correction" ran the gamut from instructing the unethical party in proper behavior to essentially ratting out the person to the authorities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I must admit that I don't watch TV on a regular basis. There isn't much that stimulates me to be found. Most of the content is absolutely inane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One show that I do watch from time to time is Fox's "&lt;a href="http://www.hulu.com/family-guy" target="blank"&gt;Family Guy&lt;/a&gt;". I suppose that I never picked up on the underlying theme due to my irregular viewing habits, but the show tends to portray white people in a bad light. Uneducated, oafish, illiterate, slothful, motivated solely by greed and sex. On the other side is a recurring character known as Cleveland Brown. Cleveland is a recurring black character who is a business owner, genteel, soft spoken, tolerant, and serves as a voice of reason when his neighbors and friends are about to run off the rails.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, apparently, Homeland Security has picked up on the idea that targeting whites is okay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object style="height: 360px; width: 420px"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/K7q3bWEvl7o?version=3" target="blank"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/K7q3bWEvl7o?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="420" height="360"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.infowars.com/dhs-video-characterizes-white-americans-as-most-likely-terrorists/" target="blank"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See Alex Jones' commentary on this video.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What we are witnessing is something that used to be referred to as propaganda. However, there is now a science behind propaganda and it is called &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-linguistic_programming" target="blank"&gt;Neuro-Linguistic Programming&lt;/a&gt;. By establishing a pattern in a subject's mind coupled with positive experiences, the desired reprogramming of an individual, group, or a society is achieved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the above video from DHS, the pattern is to watch for suspicious persons. To a minority:  a "white". Many minorities still perceive "whites" as oppressors and racists. It doesn't matter that it is documented they are more likely to be victimized by members of their own racial or ethnic community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They frequently perceive the Federal Government keeps them "safe" from all the bad "white" people by passing laws. Their fear is stoked by the popular media referring to the Tea Party as a racist political party and the clap trap of "militias", "survivalists", "preppers" being conjoined with the KKK,  Neo-Nazis, and other white supremacist organizations. Couple this with the continued insinuation by popular media and the Democrat Party that anyone opposed to Obama is a racist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4yuOr8wx60I/Tij87RijenI/AAAAAAAAA20/H9BRbjZxEEs/s1600/Unabomber-sketch.png" target="blank"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 247px; height: 329px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4yuOr8wx60I/Tij87RijenI/AAAAAAAAA20/H9BRbjZxEEs/s400/Unabomber-sketch.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632029429277620850" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;To a white: a "simple criminal".

Helping Federal agents resulting in "safety".&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yhaSKpIFxf8/Tij9KcFfpWI/AAAAAAAAA28/o4mZaxvMryc/s1600/Theodore_Kaczynski.jpg" target="blank"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think Homeland Security is not targeting foreign terrorists, but  anyone in the general population who does not agree with the shift  towards a totalitarian state. Their worst fear is a general uprising  because there isn't enough manpower or material available to suppress  it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They hope to take out the more vocal and active in order to cow the rest into submission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've said before that "white" isn't a race in this nation. It is a culture and it is not a culture that is exclusive to those from Europe. The goal of those in power is to destroy the "white" culture in this nation. Removing all traces of the principles of The Founding Fathers, The US Constitution, and Bill Of Rights. Essentially binding all to an existence of mindless servitude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their continued efforts to drive a wedge between patriotic Americans by the use of race and gender must not bear fruit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." - Ben Franklin&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-5374798925357655308?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/5374798925357655308/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=5374798925357655308&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/5374798925357655308'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/5374798925357655308'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2011/07/neuro-linguistic-programming-white.html' title='&lt;center&gt;Neuro-Linguistic Programming: &quot;White&quot; People Bad&lt;/center&gt;'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EdlcQX1uzZk/Tij-B94cJvI/AAAAAAAAA3E/yZJT1GO9zmI/s72-c/kozlowski.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-1963906839709104566</id><published>2011-07-19T18:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-19T22:27:30.807-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The New Deal: Stability Police Force</title><content type='html'>“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed — and thus clamorous to be led to safety — by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” — H.

The intelligence agencies hope that this experiment will, my interpretation from reading the article, tap into people's latent psychic abilities to enable the agencies to get a leg up on what may be coming down the highway. My guess is to either control or stop it. The article specifically states that the intelligence agencies want "to build a better crystal ball".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adolf Hitler and his government tried something very similar in 1937. &lt;a href="http://www.ghostvillage.com/resources/2006/features_09062006.shtml" target="blank"&gt;Read a brief article on the subject at GhostVillage&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those of you who are followers of Clif High and George Ure, over at &lt;a href="http://www.halfpasthuman.com/" target="blank"&gt;Half Past Human&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://urbansurvival.com/week.htm" target="blank"&gt;Urban Survival&lt;/a&gt; respectively, are already aware of something similar that is taking place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clif and George use &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_crawler" target="blank"&gt;spiders&lt;/a&gt; to crawl the internet picking up on latent, unrecognized, precognitive information. It would appear from their experiments that people do have the ability to see the future, but do not recognize it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While Clif and George use what is essentially anonymous information; this program, run by an intelligence agency, will be able to individually identify you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if this program is not designed to identify people who would be useful to them, but to identify people who are a danger to them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Far fetched?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.christianmediadaily.com/index.php?page=/microb" target="blank"&gt;88 Dead Scientists And Microbiologists&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/BODIES.html" target="blank"&gt;The Clinton Body Count&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Want more?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just go to your favorite search engine and look for "&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=dead+nuclear+scientists&amp;amp;ie=utf-8&amp;amp;oe=utf-8&amp;amp;aq=t&amp;amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;amp;client=firefox-a" target="blank"&gt;dead nuclear scientists&lt;/a&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just remember kids, "&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;In  the magical universe there are no coincidences and there are no  accidents.

The 911 operator didn't want to dispatch an officer because no one was injured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I drive a commercial vehicle.  The leasing company and my employer require a police report whenever a driver or vehicle is involved in an accident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should have seen all the freaking nonsense I had to go through when I was hit by a motorcyclist who was splitting traffic. The guy fled the scene. I hope the sumbitch was hurting for the next few days after bouncing off the side of my van and the car next to me. The parting shot he got from my truck was the driver's side oversize mirror nearly knocking him off his ride when it smacked his right shoulder. The damn side of the truck was full of bootprints and black marks from the grips on his handlebars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you ever run into a situation where you are involved in an accident, and the dispatcher tells you to simply exchange information with the other driver and fill out a report on line or stop by the police station to fill out a report, simply ask, "Are you refusing to dispatch an officer to an accident scene?".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will get an officer, but you may have to wait. The calls are recorded and they do not want any lawsuits if one or any of the parties are injured or if anyone involved becomes violent, or is wanted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1400hrs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Lhx0vesf2Uo/ThfeEA-JNaI/AAAAAAAAA2M/gDCZ1lnTgXY/s1600/armed-robbery.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Lhx0vesf2Uo/ThfeEA-JNaI/AAAAAAAAA2M/gDCZ1lnTgXY/s400/armed-robbery.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627210419984217506" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Minding my own business doing a survey for the installation of some additional cameras in a very well known grocery store when it was held up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The common belief is that bad things run in threes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stayed off the highways coming home and took the back roads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was supposed to go back to work tonight at a site where the scissor lift is known to be problematic, but the customer refuses to have it repaired and refuses to pay for a rental. The lift has left me stranded twice already on previous jobs. I think maybe I'll call OSHA on Monday, anonymously of course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No tempting fate here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sleeping tonight with a fire extinguisher, and a &lt;a href="http://world.guns.ru/assault/usa/colt-car-15-xm-177-e.html"target="blank"&gt;CAR15&lt;/a&gt;  instead of my 1911 just in case.

But, alas,  'tis not the case. In large part our population is dependent on the government, either as employees, or beneficiaries of some program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our government is dependent on foreign nations to buy our debt, to provide our fuel, manufactured goods (everything from mp3 players to the shoes on your feet) and increasingly, our food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You and I, the folks who know what it's like to work with our hands, our backs, and our minds, can still claim our independence and show others the way to freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America has become the land of "Can not" and not the land of "Can do". It isn't the American people who, by and large, "Can not". It is the few in the Established Order who say "You can not", "You may not", and "You shall not".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They pass laws and regulations telling you that you can't. You can't build this, you can't own that. You can't make this, you can't sell that. You can't think this and you can't say that. You can't do this, and you can't believe that. You can't say "God", but you better show respect to "Allah", "Satan" and other heathen beliefs because we're a "tolerant" Established Order. Tolerant of everything except American thoughts, American beliefs, and American ethics because those are dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;200 plus years of an experiment called "Freedom" and "&lt;a href="http://usconservatives.about.com/od/glossaryterms/g/Republicanism.htm"tergate="blank"&gt;Republicanism&lt;/a&gt;", based upon fairness and open dealings spawned those nations that tried to follow the blueprint. Liberia, if it had succeeded, would have turned the "&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=dark+continent&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;client=firefox-a&amp;amp;hs=u7&amp;amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;amp;prmd=ivnsb&amp;amp;tbs=tl:1&amp;amp;tbo=u&amp;amp;ei=9x4STsycG4f2swO8lpiiDg&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;oi=timeline_result&amp;amp;ct=title&amp;amp;resnum=11&amp;amp;ved=0CHYQ5wIwCg"target="blank"&gt;Dark Continent&lt;/a&gt;" into a bastion of Freedom. Slavery would have disappeared, and the usurpation and exploitation of Africa's vast natural resources and people by the European Elite would have been thwarted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Established Order can not afford to have any more free thinking and acting individuals in the world. Not if they are to maintain their power and position. Not if they want to continue directing the scope of human history and the lives of millions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our fairness and our openness was our undoing. It allowed the very forces that seek to destroy us unfettered access to the machinery of our political, economic, legal, and administrative systems. They have corrupted everything bent on destroying our way of life. They are just like a virus that invades a living cell, turning life's very processes into a machine of death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the sad state of affairs has brought many to the realization that as in dealing with disease, the body must be brought back into balance. That requires the death of the disease causing organisms and the destruction of their systems of oppression.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-1372031706381864043?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/1372031706381864043/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=1372031706381864043&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/1372031706381864043'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/1372031706381864043'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2011/07/independence-day-2011.html' title='Independence Day 2011'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-4790136936908952361</id><published>2011-06-26T14:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-27T08:21:03.623-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sand As A Foundation and Racist Mobs *UPDATE - Mon 06/27/11*</title><content type='html'>Systems around the globe are beginning to fail. The concrete base on which they rested is reverting to sand. The cogs of the wheels of finance and government are being ground down by the sand into which the behemoth machine slowly sinks. Axles and bearings choked with the detritus of another collapsing empire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yet the machine churns on, seemingly ignorant of its fate. Gears slipping, bearings seizing, it still issues proclamations day after day insisting that all is well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rodents that powered the beast by running endlessly on its treadmills, forever chasing that ever retreating reward, have started to panic. The sand that years ago buried the mice on the lowest levels and has nearly inundated the gerbils, has begun inching its way up to the hamsters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Long accustomed to living a life of comparative luxury to the mice and gerbils below, they cared little for the existence of their brethren. Hamsters sleep all day, party all night, living the life of Lindsay, Paris, and Gaga to give those below something to aspire to, to dream of. "One day, I too will be a hamster!", thought many a young mouse and gerbil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But now their homes are being auctioned off, and they've been forced to petition the rats at the top for further largess. While the rats had been all too happy to reallocate the wealth from the many at the bottom, they've realized there isn't any more to be taken from the bottom because they've allowed the lower and middle classes to be destroyed. There is no more wealth to be taken from the mice and the gerbils.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so they just make up wealth through the power of the printing press and adding a few zeros in a computer somewhere and pass it around to their friends and supporters. The hamsters care not, as long as it spends as real wealth, it is money to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, many of the mice and the gerbils who managed to escape from the crushing weight of the sand, sit idly by stupefied by the carnival before them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Others....well....let us just say....they're rudderless in a storm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Kill All The White People, screams a black crowd in Peoria, Illinois&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://peoriachronicle.com/2011/06/25/peorians-living-in-fear/" target="blank"&gt;Peorians Living In Fear&lt;/a&gt; This is a story that ran in The Peoria Chronicle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The website of the &lt;a href="http://box516.bluehost.com/suspended.page/disabled.cgi/peoriachronicle.com" target="blank"&gt;Peoria Chronicle&lt;/a&gt;, a news site hosted by one CJ Summers (&lt;a href="http://twitter.com/peoriachronicle" target="blank"&gt;Twitter link here&lt;/a&gt;) is down according to to &lt;a href="http://www.bluehost.com/?gclid=CIeIpoHZ1KkCFecaQgodPQvzMA" target="blank"&gt;BlueHost.com&lt;/a&gt;, the hosting service. The actual URL at the top of the page when one attempts to visit the site indicates that the site has been "suspended" (http://box516.bluehost.com/&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;suspended.page&lt;/span&gt;/disabled.cgi/peoriachronicle.com#comment-66846).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Summers states on his Twitter page that the Peoria Chronicle is "&lt;span class="bio"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;News, analysis, and opinion (mostly opinion) on what's happening in Peoria, Illinois&lt;/span&gt;." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The text of the article is below as retrieved from &lt;a href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:lHzJ2PFQcMEJ:peoriachronicle.com/+peoria+chronicle&amp;amp;cd=1&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;ct=clnk&amp;amp;gl=us&amp;amp;client=firefox-a&amp;amp;source=www.google.com" target="blank"&gt;Google's cache of the website&lt;/a&gt; (click to view the cache of the site).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Peorians living in fear&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;This eye-witness account is from Paul Wilkinson, president of the Altamont Park Neighborhood Association:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Tonight, around 11 p.m., a group of at least 60-70 African American youth marched down one of the side streets (W. Thrush) to the 4 lane main drag (Sheridan). They were yelling threats to white residents. Things such as we need to kill alll the white people around here. They were physically intimidating anyone calling for help from the police. They were surrounding cars. Cars on the main drag had to slam on their brakes to either avoid the youth blocking not only all four lanes, but a large section of the side street as well. fights were breaking out among them. They were rushing residents who looked out their doors, going on to porches, yelling threats to people calling the police for help.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cars were doing U turns on the streets just to avoid the mob, mostly male. One youth stated his grandfather was white and several assaulted him on the spot. One police officer answered the call. The youth split into two large groups, one heading north, the other south. They were also yelling racial threats to the police officer but he was outnumbered. Another police car did not show up until after the youth finally dispersed and the patty wagon (van) also eventually showed up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Residents are very shaken, both black and white alike. This is the fifth large mob action in about a month with smaller groups of 10-12 are out threatening children and adults a few evenings a week or later into the night. The times vary, even occuring during the day. In talking to the police officer, they are short staffed. Residents were advised to simply keep inside and to lock their doors. In other words buckle down, it’s not even safe to sit on your porch or go into your yards.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;“The fifth large mob action in about a month.” Wow. This is really outrageous. Why is this neighborhood having to put up with this? “Residents were advised to simply keep inside and to lock their doors”? Seriously? That’s the best we can do for our fellow citizens’ safety?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;This needs to be addressed, and quickly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently, CJ Summers is a very community oriented person and has sought public office as a member of the Peoria City Council. His campaign page (&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.summerspeoria.com/about/"&gt;www.summerspeoria.com&lt;/a&gt;) has also apparently been suspended by BlueHost. He was interviewed by the &lt;a href="http://www.pjstar.com/homepage"&gt;PJStar&lt;/a&gt; in reference to his qualifications and goals. CJ was quite open and candid about what he wanted to accomplish. His interview can be read &lt;a href="http://www.pjstar.com/elections/bios/x1053026678/Peoria-City-Council-At-Large-C-J-Summers" target="blank"&gt;HERE at the PJStar website&lt;/a&gt;. He is even apparently so very candid, he reveals his address and phone number, so to me, that lends credibility to the story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story has also been picked up and repeated at the PJStar. &lt;a href="http://www.pjstar.com/free/x2069925100/Account-of-racist-Peoria-mob-spurs-national-attention" target="blank"&gt;Click here to read the article&lt;/a&gt;.

If you have not, &lt;a href="http://www.unilibrary.com/ebooks/Gibbon,%20Edward%20-%20History%20of%20the%20Decline%20and%20Fall%20of%20the%20Roman%20Empire%203.pdf" target="blank"&gt;here is a good online treatise on the subject&lt;/a&gt;. There is no need to run out to the now often closed public library or order from an online retailer or bookstore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In previous posts, I have made allusions comparing what is happening here in the United States and Rome. This subject has been a frequent topic between my friends and colleagues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rome began to import more and more labor into its core territories to fill the gap left by Romans too idle or slothful to work. As have we, The United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rome waged wars of conquest to enrich its coffers, and the purses of the privileged. As has happened here in The United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once conquered, the peoples of those absorbed territories made their way to Rome's core territories for better opportunities. The same has happened here in The United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, the diverse groups did not assimilate. But the Roman citizenry, hedonistic and constantly in search of the newest entertainments, did not care. The one group that was new and brought exotic foods and pleasures was quickly forgotten as the next moved in. America, look around you. Yesterday it was margaritas and Mariachi bands, today it's &lt;a href="http://www.hookahhookah.com/hookahhookah_com_-_store2/pages.php?pageid=30" target="blank"&gt;hookah bars and lounges&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once Rome was unable to maintain the standard of living for its idle citizenry, that group of people began to engage in various forms of crime and frequently targeted their fellow citizens. The Roman government was all too happy to use this to their advantage and "promise" to keep the law abiding citizenry "safe" if they would cede certain rights. Sound familiar?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a good look at Rome's history in the link cited above. Often, we've heard the phrase "&lt;a href="http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/197456.html" target="blank"&gt;The barbarians at the gates&lt;/a&gt;". We have no barbarians at the gates of our lands. They're inside and all around you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Start substituting names like Iran, Argentina, China, Mexico and North Korea for the Vandals, Goths, and Huns.

FREE, global, decentralized currency</title><content type='html'>Since it appears that governments, financial institutions, and the world's elite are hell bent on keeping this sham economy in place as long as possible, it is worthwhile for us to look into alternatives to being part of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enter &lt;a href="http://www.bitcoin.org/" target="blank"&gt;BitCoin&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BitCoin is a digital currency that can be converted to many world currencies for use in transactions outside the network. &lt;a href="http://www.weusecoins.com/" target="blank"&gt;Watch a short video and learn about the basics here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The very nice thing is &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;your digital account can not be seized or frozen&lt;/span&gt;. The transactions are virtually anonymous and can not be tracked. Very handy in these uncertain times. The very big drawback is that it requires the internet to operat&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_wallet" target="blank"&gt;e, so I would urge you not to keep more inside your digital wallet than you can afford to lose.&lt;/a&gt; If the net is taken down you could lose any wealth stored in BitCoins. If it becomes so heavily regulated, BitCoin may become less feasible for those of more moderate means.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Already, &lt;a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-20070268-17/senators-target-bitcoin-currency-citing-drug-sales/" target="blank"&gt;the US government is targeting the system citing "drug sales"&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A really nice thing about BitCoin is you create your own money through a process called "&lt;a href="http://www.bitcoinminer.com/" target="blank"&gt;mining&lt;/a&gt;". In other words, you need not convert your real world fiat paper money into bitcoins. You can create your own bitcoins, and convert them into real world fiat currency through various exchanges, &lt;a href="https://mtgox.com/" target="blank"&gt;Mt Gox&lt;/a&gt; being one of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are also free sources for bitcoins called "&lt;a href="https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade"&gt;faucets&lt;/a&gt;" Also located in the faucet link are listed places that will accept BitCoins. New business are frequently being added. Search the web to find online retailers and even real brick and mortar stores that accept BitCoin.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-4143358458048656985?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/4143358458048656985/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=4143358458048656985&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/4143358458048656985'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/4143358458048656985'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2011/06/bitcoin-free-global-decentralized.html' title='BitCoin - FREE, global, decentralized currency'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-2546029881704015861</id><published>2011-06-08T07:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-08T12:42:25.503-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Happening Now - *UPDATED*</title><content type='html'>In a neighboring city, a man's home was raided by a SWAT team that belongs to the US Department of Education.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's right, the Department of Education apparently has a SWAT team under the &lt;a href="http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/oig/index.html" target="blank"&gt;Office Of The Inspector General&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read about it here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.news10.net/news/article/141072/2/Dept-of-Education-breaks-down-Stockton-mans-door" target="blank"&gt;Education Officials Break Down Stockton Man's Door&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you notice something in the article that is extremely troubling?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Department Of Education &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ISSUED&lt;/span&gt; the warrant!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since when do a bunch of incompetent (as shown in the article....they had the wrong house),  paper shuffling screwballs who ride herd on a bunch of largely leftist, Obama supporting instruments of brain washing have the authority to ISSUE warrants AND have their own private army?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things are seriously screwed up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what the people who supported the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_Underground" target="blank"&gt;Weather Underground&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Students_for_a_Democratic_Society" target="blank"&gt;The SDS&lt;/a&gt; have brought this country to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this in from a friend of mine, known as RabidRealtor, who lives down in Mexico.

Wright said an officer grabbed him by the neck  and led him outside on his front lawn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He had his knee on my back and I had no idea why they were there," Wright said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Wright, officers also woke his three young children ages  3, 7, and 11 and put them in a Stockton police patrol car with him.  Officers then searched his house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As it turned out, the person law enforcement was looking for was not there - Wright's estranged wife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"They put me in handcuffs in that hot patrol car for six hours, traumatizing my kids," Wright said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wright said he later went to the mayor and Stockton Police Department,  but the City of Stockton had nothing to do with Wright's search warrant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The U.S. Department of Education issued the search and called in the S.W.A.T for his wife's defaulted student loans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"They busted down my door for this," Wright said. "It wasn't even me."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the Department of Education's Office of the Inspector  General, the case can't be discussed publicly until it is closed, but a  spokesperson did confirm that the department did issue the search  warrant at Wright's home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Office of the Inspector General has a  law enforcement branch of federal agents that carry out search warrants  and investigations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stockton Police Department said it was asked by  federal agents to provide one officer and one patrol car just for a  police presence when carrying out the search warrant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stockton police did not participate in breaking Wright's door, handcuffing him, or searching his home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"All I want is an apology for me and my kids and for them to get me a new door," Wright said.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-2546029881704015861?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/2546029881704015861/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=2546029881704015861&amp;isPopup=true' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/2546029881704015861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/2546029881704015861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2011/06/happening-now.html' title='Happening Now - *UPDATED*'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-7472333315647948478</id><published>2011-06-07T00:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-07T07:50:37.604-07:00</updated><title type='text'>E.

Thank you to all who have served, and sacrificed everything for us. We remember you, even though others may have forgotten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, there's been a lot going on, hence my absence. I hope to be able to share much of it with you once it is done. In the meantime, if you own your own home (or even if you're still paying a mortgage), you need to look into your state's laws regarding Homestead Declarations. You can find an easy link to your state's particulars &lt;a href="http://law.findlaw.com/state-laws/homestead/" target="blank"&gt;on this page&lt;/a&gt;. If it is valid in your state, you can do an easy search on the web to find the forms and instructions on filing the forms. &lt;a href="http://www.motherearthnews.com/Modern-Homesteading/1982-07-01/Stop-Financial-Downfall.aspx" target="blank"&gt;MotherEarthNews has an article explaining the concept in detail&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After reading the article, I'm sure you'll be able to see the advantages of spending a few dollars to file the form.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're in California, &lt;a href="http://www.caldocs.com/resources/publications/real-estate/Homestead-Declaration.pdf" target="blank"&gt;click here for forms and instructions&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third, you need to watch this movie, &lt;a href="http://www.urbandanger.com/Watch-It-Online.html" target="blank"&gt;Urban Danger (click here)&lt;/a&gt;.  It is available in its entirety on the web. Make time to watch it, especially if you are generations removed from people who lived through &lt;a href="http://www.english.illinois.edu/maps/depression/depression.htm" target="blank"&gt;The Great Depression&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My father was born in 1921. My brother and I were constantly harangued as children about how spoiled we were (late 1960's -1970's). We'd get the speeches about having to wade through 8 ft snowbanks in a heatwave and having to walk 10 miles uphill going to and coming home from school. If they were lucky, they got a ride with Old Man Smith taking the hogs to market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They had to ride in the back with the hogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there were more serious, and ominous discussions about what it was like in the Depression, World War II and its aftermath.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mother also would tell us stories about Japan once the bombing raids began, and the severe rationing during the late stages of the war, and after Japan's surrender. Mom, some family and friends, ran a black market operation dealing in food in post war Japan. My mother was once apprehended with about 40 lbs of rice and was being pressured by the police to reveal its source. The officer interrogating mom was called out of the room, and when he returned, he apologized and returned the rice and let my mother go. She was fourteen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing I've learned from listening to these stories, if you're stuck in an urban area, is you need to keep the cops on your side. Much has been made about how Al Capone controlled the Chicago Police. What they don't tell you is that, in addition to starting the first soup kitchen and feeding an estimated three to four thousand people a week, Al was feeding the families of the average beat cop every week during the Depression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Food is control.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-712115832453861318?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/712115832453861318/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=712115832453861318&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/712115832453861318'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/712115832453861318'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2011/05/urban-danger-must-see.html' title='Urban Danger - *MUST SEE*'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-8746587702203483195</id><published>2011-05-10T08:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-10T08:41:50.141-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Reconquista</title><content type='html'>Reconquista, often cited as Mexico's attempt to reconquer the American Southwest, has a much longer history. A brief nutshell explanation of the origin of the term can be found on &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconquista"&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;, and its roots it the expulsion of the Moors from the Iberian Peninsula.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parallels can be drawn between that struggle in the Middle Ages and what is happening now here in our own nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mexican nationals and traitorous American latinos somehow believe that the western US is a mythical land known as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztl%C3%A1n"&gt;Aztlan&lt;/a&gt; and seek to return it to Mexican dominion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their efforts have stumbled. As more Mexican nationals flee south with the flagging US economy denying them the ability to stay here in the US; their base has begun to erode. Here in the greater San Francisco Bay Area, I've noticed numerous Mexican restaurants that catered to the palates of people from particular Mexican states have closed up shop. That coupled with the near civil war and economic malaise south of the border has many Mexicans concerned with more than trying to turn a myth into a reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The forces who want to fragment the United States have failed to seize large portions of the US and now seem to intend on trying to carve it into small, more easily digested, and assimilated chunks. They have now &lt;a href="http://ca.news.yahoo.com/liberals-southern-arizona-seek-form-state-130257516.html"&gt;set their sights on dividing Arizona&lt;/a&gt; and are being aided by the entrenched Progressive (read that as statist, totalitarian, socialist) leadership.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am fully supportive of the right of a state to secede from a tyrannical federal government. I oppose the attempt to divide a state, and then have that resulting new state petition for statehood in order to have representation in our federal system. Especially if the motives of the established population, and its leadership, is in question.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-8746587702203483195?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/8746587702203483195/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=8746587702203483195&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/8746587702203483195'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/8746587702203483195'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2011/05/reconquista.html' title='Reconquista'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-1762732997071444027</id><published>2011-05-09T00:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-09T11:56:23.840-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Article: "US Whites Under The Demographic Gun"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.henrymakow.com/" target="blank"&gt;Henry Makow&lt;/a&gt; writes the well meaning piece, "&lt;a href="http://www.henrymakow.com/demographic_destruction.html" target="blank"&gt;US Whites Under The Demographic Gun&lt;/a&gt;". He seems to miss the whole point of illegal immigration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After living in this country for nearly my entire life as someone who has a white name, but a very non-white appearance,  it galls me that authors seem to frequently conclude that the eradication of "whites" is somehow a "white" problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"White", to many, seems to imply a "race" when it comes to the United States and its population. It is anything but that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What many refer to as "White" is a culture. A mindset. A way of doing, of being. "White" in this nation is our history, our heritage. That "whiteness" is what has drawn people for centuries from every country on the face of the earth. It is the promise of equality, brotherhood, and freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caucasian people are not the only people who cherish these ideals. Caucasians are not the only ones who have promoted and worked to spread these ideals. Caucasian people are not the only ones who have died defending these ideals. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crispus_Attucks" target="blank"&gt;Crispus Attucks&lt;/a&gt;, part Black, part &lt;a href="http://www.tolatsga.org/wampa.html"&gt;Wampanoa&lt;/a&gt;g, one hundred percent freedom loving American is a prime example.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The continued flood of peoples from foreign lands who have no intention of divesting themselves of the traditions, mindsets, and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mores" target="blank"&gt;mores&lt;/a&gt; endemic to their places of origin chip away at the core of America. Once, people came here, and were proud to label themselves as "American". They abandoned their languages and traditions. Their tribal ways and manner of dress were relinquished in order to earn acceptance into their new homeland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The streets of America are filled with turbans, kufis, hijabs, saris, and serapes. Schools in &lt;a href="http://www.laalmanac.com/LA/la10b.htm" target="blank"&gt;Los Angeles cater to 92 different languages.&lt;/a&gt; California, in 2006, &lt;a href="http://legacy.signonsandiego.com/news/politics/20060606-1236-bn06elect.html" target="blank"&gt;produced ballots in 44 different languages&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These people drag everything that made their homelands intolerable cesspools with them and expect me to accept it, embrace it, and laud it. Crime, disease, hatred, filth and degradation follow in the wake of these people. I wonder why, if they love their filth so much, did they leave? There was certainly more of it where they came from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People emigrate here dragging their aged parents and relatives along with them. They are promptly placed in various social security and other government (READ THAT AS *YOU* PAY FOR IT) programs, even though these people have not paid into the system. Not a single day worked here. Not a single penny earned. And many, once they've qualified for benefits, return home and take your money with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if you say anything negative about this evil being perpetrated on Americans under the guise of "multiculturalism", you're a "racist". Those bent on destroying America will hang a sign around your neck so fast hoping it will keep the rest silent and in line.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fine. I'm a "racist" to you. To me, you're a "traitor" and I'm a patriot. I'm not going to tolerate evil and we all know the fate of "traitors". Name a beneficiary. Soon. Real soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America is under assault. The sole purpose of this assault is the eradication of American culture. With the eradication of American culture comes a new dark age of oppression, servitude, and slavery. Not in one nation. Not even on an entire continent. This time it will be on a global scale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will not see relief from our elected officials and the government. There's too much wealth, and too much power to be gained by catering to these foreign &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpetbagger" target="blank"&gt;carpetbaggers&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you came from another land with the dream of becoming an American, not to loot, not to plunder, not to destroy, welcome. If you came here and have been lured by the easy way presented to you by those who would destroy this land and her people, now is a good time to leave. At least you won't be leaving in a box. If you came here and have been straddling the fence, pick a side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're either with us or against us. There is no middle ground in the coming war.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-1762732997071444027?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/1762732997071444027/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=1762732997071444027&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/1762732997071444027'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/1762732997071444027'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2011/05/article-us-whites-under-demographic-gun.html' title='&lt;center&gt;Article: &quot;US Whites Under The Demographic Gun&quot;&lt;/center&gt;'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-539329296236987674</id><published>2011-05-05T11:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-05T11:42:37.480-07:00</updated><title type='text'>LOL!

Instead it actually ratcheted up the rancor in nearly every political sector and led to shouts of "racism" from Obama's sycophants. Cries of "racism" have about as much effect these days as "wolf" did in a story we're all too familiar with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, it seems to have offended and annoyed quite a few who otherwise might have just ignored the whole affair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine that. People have awakened to the fact that "racism" only exists in the minds of people who don't get what they want and think they can &lt;a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/mau-mau" target="blank"&gt;mau-mau&lt;/a&gt; dissenters in to &lt;a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ketou" target="blank"&gt;ketouing&lt;/a&gt; to their vastly, though self imagined, superior liberal ideology. Maybe the fact that the president of the United States is a black man, of uncertain parentage, creed, and national origin had something to do with this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe its just people have taken a look around at all the "African Americans" who have hugely successful careers in various fields from education to entertainment. Not to mention politics itself. &lt;a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/phony_race_card_M8g4LIpdjqecBscMgILUhN" target="blank"&gt;Whoopi, are you listening&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Racism", uh-huh. I'll believe it when someone burns a cross on the White House lawn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Racism has as much to do with this as my Energy Star certified ceiling fan has to do with hurricanes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spiraling inflation, sinking real estate values, declining sales, failing cities and states, banks raping average Americans, three unpopular wars, a deaf ear to the concerns of average people playing the role of Sisyphus every day, every week, each month; ignoring the tide of diseased, illiterate, criminal aliens flooding our nation; the continued sexual harassment and assault of travelers by the TSA, escalating crime rates, failing infrastructure, the abandonment of America's Middle Class, the Ponzi Scheme known as "Wall Street", the militarization of the police, threats from government against it's citizens have started to hammer even the most somnambulant among us into waking up and wondering just WTF is going on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing has worked to rally the American people around this foppish, incompetent, illegitimate, arrogant imposter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now Osama is dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hurrah, hurrah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is politics, gamesmanship, and attempts to control an increasingly restive public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pure and simple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a distraction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just like Trump's activities with Obama's birth certificate and educational background, and announcement of his own presidential aspirations. Personally, I think there's a drunken bum on nearly every street corner in San Francisco who would probably be more worthy of the office than this ass. If you want to know the man, beyond just the bad hair, just &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump" target="blank"&gt;look at his Wiki page&lt;/a&gt; and follow the leads resulting from the sale of junk bonds, investors losing millions of dollars, numerous bankruptcies, misrepresentation of assets, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does that at all sound familiar? Like maybe a bad chorus of the last 4 years?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Except now with Osama dead, the screwballs with the explosive vests, whom the TSA and all the president's men can't find, now have another martyr. Another brother to avenge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then, doesn't Obama need another "terrorist" attack on American soil so he can show he is the leader we so desperately need in these perilous days?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watch your six.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Something_wicked_this_way_comes_%28phrase%29" target="blank"&gt;Something wicked this way comes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-8325350052892348497?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/8325350052892348497/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=8325350052892348497&amp;isPopup=true' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/8325350052892348497'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/8325350052892348497'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2011/05/osama-deadhow-convenient.html' title='Osama Dead....how convenient'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-3902207202263806964</id><published>2011-04-28T08:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-28T09:34:24.372-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Price Of Admission</title><content type='html'>California is so screwed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no idea what it is like where you are, but if you've been something of an ostrich or just too busy to pay attention to your local goings on; it might be time to sit up, pay attention, and do some real hard thinking about just how far you're willing to go when it all comes apart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of us have already come to the realization that we're on our own. Sure, there are cops out there writing tickets in a mad frenzy to generate enough revenue to justify them having a job, but they're essentially bailing out a life-boat using tea spoons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2011/04/27/hundreds-of-san-jose-police-officer-jobs-still-on-the-line/" target="blank"&gt;San Jose California Lays Off 106 Police Officers. Another 155 On The Chopping Block&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey SJPD, how's that whole ticket quota thing working out? Not as many Americans driving, but there's still a truckload of illegals whom you can't or won't cite. No money there, except for maybe selling that &lt;a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=POS" target="blank"&gt;POS&lt;/a&gt; they were driving for scrap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder how many people, whom you made guests in the "&lt;a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=graybar+hotel" target="blank"&gt;Graybar Hotel&lt;/a&gt;", will be next to you in the unemployment and welfare lines. Maybe they won't recognize you out of uniform. Maybe. Once an overseer for the plantation, now just another slave. Hope you have a nice day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I lived in San Jose for 10 years, and worked there for nearly 20.  It was a miserable place to live. A large mall there worked actively to keep stories of rapes, robberies, and stabbings out of the news. All the random crime every day. Just numbing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In some places here in California, there are Walmarts less than 8 miles apart. I spend quite a bit of time fixing stuff inside Walmarts. The type of people shopping there has changed. There used to be cars typically owned by the lower to middle class in the parking lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The store in Pleasanton frequently has a &lt;a href="http://www.visionale.net/2010/12/2010-bentley-continental-gt/" target="blank"&gt;Bentley Continental GT&lt;/a&gt; in the parking lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://money.cnn.com/2011/04/27/news/companies/walmart_ceo_consumers_under_pressure/index.htm" target="blank"&gt;Walmart: Our Shoppers Are Running Out Of Money&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gee, ya think?

"What am I paying for?", you ask?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you willing to pay the price to enter the future?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the well heeled are shopping at Walmart and walking away from their mortgages, and cops are becoming about as effective as a cigar store Indian at preventing crime, just how bad are things?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.recordnet.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20110428/A_NEWS/110429885/-1/newsmap" target="blank"&gt;11 Year Old Caught With Stolen TV&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Were you paying attention?

Nothing for you to be concerned about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of us have contemplated having to deal with armed thugs after a collapse. Most of us are willing to put a few holes in the ill mannered, uninvited guests who may show up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's a good thing. The bad guy doesn't make it to the future, but you do. But it costs you something each time you put someone in a hole. I don't know this personally, but from talking to people who have, this is what they tell me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if the ill mannered guest is a kid?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you willing to

and threw a few dollars at that rock in the Caribbean, and as soon as everyone felt good about themselves , promptly abandoned it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even the media packed up and went home to leave thousands to &lt;a href="http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/regions/americas/haiti/110315/haiti-cholera-epidemic" target="blank"&gt;die of disease&lt;/a&gt;, and suffer chronic &lt;a href="http://www.postbulletin.com/news/stories/display.php?id=1447845" target="blank"&gt;shortages of food&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now Japan, where the effects of the disaster have global implications (both environmentally and economically), &lt;a href="http://www.nptimes.com/11Mar/03152011.html" target="blank"&gt;hasn't seen near the level of help that Haiti received&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want you to go here to &lt;a href="http://feww.wordpress.com/2010-disasters/2010-disaster-calendar-january/" target="blank"&gt;2010 Disaster Calendar&lt;/a&gt;, and go through the year, month by month, and look to see how your fellow man suffered and died.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're only three months into 2011, and already the list is impressive. &lt;a href="https://feww.wordpress.com/category/2011-disasters/" target="blank"&gt;Just go look&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/playbook/" target="blank"&gt;Today, Obama is taping his March Madness&lt;/a&gt;

I just don't think they know what to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://mayberry-keepitsimplestupid.blogspot.com/" target="blank"&gt;Mayberry&lt;/a&gt; recently expressed his dismay over the fact that the bulk of the American people seemed to not be willing to do anything to change the situation. He even &lt;a href="http://mayberry-keepitsimplestupid.blogspot.com/2011/03/threeper-no-more.html" target="blank"&gt;pointed his finger at the III percent movement&lt;/a&gt; and today, &lt;a href="http://mayberry-keepitsimplestupid.blogspot.com/2011/03/when-you-just-dont-care-anymore.html" target="blank"&gt;announced he didn't care anymore&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At one point in my life, I was a crew chief for a stock car team running the now defunct Featherlite SouthWest Tour. We were a California team running short tracks. Low on money, big on hard work, and high on dreams (and gasoline fumes).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spend all week with a welder, a sheet metal brake, and a wrench just to watch the car get torn up in a single Saturday night show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is completely different watching a race from inside the pit, or a spotters position, than from the stands. You see things, smell things, and hear things developing before many of the fans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're often powerless to stop what you know is coming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can be on the radio shouting at your driver to dive to the inside of the track as a wreck develops up in the front of the pack....but sometimes that just isn't enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that's where we are. We see what's coming, and we're doing everything we can to get people's attention. You the readers are part of this too. You see what's coming and that's why you keep coming back. I like to think maybe it is because you take some comfort in knowing you're not alone....or crazy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You've all seen the wrecks during a race. The cars spin and gyrate across the track. Smoke, flame, twisted metal, and exploding parts flying all over the place...and even death. Yet, the cars keep moving down the track.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe we are just watching the wreck as it starts. It will be a long time before the twisted wreckage comes to a rest. Humanity, and society, have been running a huge race with a packed field. It is going to take a while for all of it to stop and for people to start sorting through the wreckage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mayberry, maybe that's what we're here for. Maybe we can't stop the wreck. But we have the tools, and the ambition to build again. Maybe we'll get it right this next time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, all of you, don't give up trying to flag off the drivers who haven't yet been collected in the wreck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe it won't be "Game Over" for them.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-3744997712300157131?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/3744997712300157131/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=3744997712300157131&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/3744997712300157131'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/3744997712300157131'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2011/03/its-over.html' title='It&apos;s Over'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-3476939409477373276</id><published>2011-03-14T22:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-15T00:15:05.272-07:00</updated><title type='text'>May You Live In Interesting Times</title><content type='html'>The phrase is purported to be a Chinese curse, and the origin of the phrase is somewhat in doubt as can be &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_you_live_in_interesting_times" target="blank"&gt;seen in Wikipedia's entry on the subject&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing is certain, the times are interesting.

Some news articles contend that a &lt;a href="http://www.earthfiles.com/news.php?ID=1824&amp;amp;category=Environment" target="blank"&gt;meltdown is in progress, or a partial meltdown has already occurred&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a meltdown does, or has, happened fallout in the form of heavy and light particles will rise into the atmosphere and travel across the Pacific Ocean on air currents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maps tracking fallout patterns to the west coast of North America as well as an excellent article can be found here at &lt;a href="http://modernsurvivalblog.com/nuclear/west-coast-usa-danger-if-japan-nuclear-reactor-meltdown/" target="blank"&gt;Modern Survival Blog&lt;/a&gt;. It has updates on the developing situation and pertinent information regarding personal preparation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The good news is many of the heavier particles will drop out of the airstream over the Pacific and probably not make landfall in North America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bad news is the more fine, lighter particles, will travel farther before dropping out of the airstream. These will make landfall, possibly as far as Colorado, before dropping out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The good news is that if the quantity of fallout is small, it will be so widely scattered as to essentially disappear into normally present&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_radiation" target="blank"&gt; background radiation sources&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And there's where the hitch is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How much fallout North America will have to deal with is also a question that is, pardon the pun, up in the air. If we use &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster" target="blank"&gt;Chernobyl&lt;/a&gt; as a representation of a possible scenario, an estimated &lt;a href="http://library.thinkquest.org/3471/radiation_effects_body.html" target="blank"&gt;50 TONS (100,000 pounds) of nuclear fuel "evaporated"&lt;/a&gt; in the explosion and fire. Much of it landed in the area immediately surrounding the plant, and even more in the areas downwind in the Ukraine. But significant materials remained in the air so that it traveled and triggered radiation detectors in Western Europe, and even the Eastern US.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, Chernobyl was a single reactor. Japan is dealing with the potential for multiple reactor failures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What most people should be concerned with are Cesium 137, Strontium 90, and Iodine 131.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.epa.gov/rpdweb00/radionuclides/cesium.html#body" target="blank"&gt;Cesium 137 is released by reactor accidents and presents a significant health risk in that it distributes itself through the soft tissues&lt;/a&gt; and is a strong source of &lt;a href="http://www.who.int/ionizing_radiation/about/what_is_ir/en/index.html" target="blank"&gt;ionizing radiation&lt;/a&gt;. Ionizing radiation can destroy your DNA and disrupt the body's cellular functions. Half life is 30 years, and the primary path into the body is ingestion and inhalation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strontium 90 is not likely to be released by a reactor accident, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;BUT&lt;/span&gt; it can be. &lt;a href="http://www.epa.gov/rpdweb00/radionuclides/strontium.html#healtheffects" target="blank"&gt;Strontium 90 mimics calcium and is readily taken up by the body&lt;/a&gt;. Half life is approximately 30 years and the primary path into the body is ingestion and inhalation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/csem/iodine/physiologic_effects.html" target="blank"&gt;Iodine 131 is readily absorbed by the thyroid gland as it mimics the non-radioactive form of iodine which is needed for the production of certain hormones.&lt;/a&gt;  Half life is 8 DAYS, not years, so that is a sort of a blessing. Primary path into the body is ingestion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three simple steps to protect yourself from ingesting these elements:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wash all produce thoroughly with clean running water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wash all cans of food prior to opening them to avoid potential contamination from radioactive dust that may have settled on the cans. (Remember your pets, too!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Avoid drinking from open water sources (streams, ponds, etc.).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much has been said about purchasing Potassium Iodine (Iodate) in order to flood your thyroid with the needed element to prevent the uptake of the radioactive form of Iodine. Apparently, there are rumors of panic buying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you find yourself unable to locate iodine supplements, there are natural sources that are readily available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelp" target="blank"&gt;Kelp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arame" target="blank"&gt;Arame&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wakame"target="blank"&gt;Wakame&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laver_%28seaweed%29" target="blank"&gt;Laver&lt;/a&gt; (Nori in Japan. It's that greenish/black paper-like wrap around &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sushi"target="blank"&gt;makizushi&lt;/a&gt; )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seafood (fish and shellfish)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yogurt&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cow's Milk&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eggs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mozzarella Cheese&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another strategy is eating peanuts, soybeans (and related like Tofu), canola oil, cassava, strawberries, pine nuts, millet, pears, peaches, spinach, bamboo shoots, sweet potatoes, and anything in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassica" target="blank"&gt;Brassica &lt;/a&gt;family. These are known to inhibit the absorption of iodine by the thyroid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This last suggestion is a stop gap measure only to be considered if you do not have access to a source of iodine.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-1326320884451420886?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/1326320884451420886/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=1326320884451420886&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/1326320884451420886'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/1326320884451420886'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2011/03/fallout.html' title='Fallout: Natural Sources Of Iodine'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-4636425789027378013</id><published>2011-03-11T00:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-03-11T01:20:31.435-08:00</updated><title type='text'>8.9 Quake 30 Foot Wall Of Water</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OApVQ2bibrc/TXndotHmNvI/AAhhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifAAAAAAA1A/FnvPY76kFYU/s1600/cover.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 319px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OApVQ2bibrc/TXndotHmNvI/AAAAAAAAA1A/FnvPY76kFYU/s400/cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582736904478406386" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I watched live video feeds tonight from &lt;a href="http://www.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/" target="blank"&gt;NHK TV in Japan&lt;/a&gt; just after the quake.

I'm actually insulted you don't think me worthy of a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;real&lt;/span&gt; attack. I've seen more sophisticated attacks from 12 year olds. Christ, at least put &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;some&lt;/span&gt; effort into it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're going to have to do way better than that to hack me. Oh, and expect a call from the tech admins at your school. I'm sure they frown on the use of university resources being used to hack people. I spoke with Officer Stevens in your campus police department.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very nice guy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever your &lt;a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=beef" target="blank"&gt;beef&lt;/a&gt; is with me, there's a comment section at the bottom of every post, and you can always e-mail me. &lt;a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=man%20up" target="blank"&gt;Man up&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, there's no need to thank me. I do whatever I can to dissuade you  young people from squandering your potential in the pursuit of a life of  crime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll make you a deal. You leave me alone, and I'll leave you alone. I already have your &lt;a href="http://squirrelmail.org/" target="blank"&gt;squirrelmail&lt;/a&gt; login. Don't make me use it.  &lt;a href="http://137.142.200.31/" target="blank"&gt;137.142.200.31&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that is out of the way....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next: Want to star in a "survivalist" reality series?

I download the shows, and listen to them as I drive each day. I'm a few days behind, and I was listening to the show from 2/21/11 and Lucas had a very coherent explanation for what is going on in the world. So, I thought I'd pass it along to you. Listen to the three parts of the interview linked below and see if it makes sense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a nut shell, Lucas believes that some in the world are aware of a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_dwarf" target="blank"&gt;Brown Dwarf Star&lt;/a&gt; that has a long duration orbit, and passes through the inner solar system approximately every 3600 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The passage of "The Destroyer" causes tremendous climatic and tectonic upheavals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He thinks that these people are the "Elite", and their knowledge of an impending disaster explains the tremendous siphoning of wealth, the huge underground construction projects, and the reason governments have established control centers (essentially second capitols) high in the mountains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can visit his website, &lt;a href="http://www.rabbithole2.com/" target="blank"&gt;Rabbit Hole here&lt;/a&gt;.

type='text'>Let's Have A Nuclear War!</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;&lt;a

style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Small Nuclear War Could Reverse Global Warming for Years&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What. The. F---.?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a bizarre article. Even for the once vaunted National Geographic, which has been reduced to a  "&lt;a href="http://www.psysr.org/about/pubs_resources/groupthink%20overview.htm"target="blank"&gt;groupthink&lt;/a&gt;" collective and a shameless propaganda outlet, this is absolutely over the top.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my reading of the article, and maybe it is just me, I sensed a certain duality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On one hand, Global Warming "bad". On the other hand, reversing Global Warming "good".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On one hand "&lt;a href="http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn11287-nuclear-winter-may-kill-more-than-a-nuclear-war.html"target="blank"&gt;Nuclear Winter&lt;/a&gt;" bad. On the other hand "Nuclear Fall" (less severe climate modification as a result of regional, limited, small nuclear exchanges) " not so bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mass starvation "bad". Limited starvation "good".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seemed to me that the author, through the choice of words - including the provocative title, is putting forth the idea that a limited nuclear exchange might, in the long term, be a good idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just have to wonder exactly who is being influenced by these types of articles. Are these coded messages to certain people &lt;a href="http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/in+the+loop"target="blank"&gt;in the loop&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just so strange given that the screwballs in North Korea and Iran don't seem to be going away, and insist on spoiling the average person's idea of a good time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gkJrbAcVI0RCQQ_RA4wcfmkWQ4MQ?docId=c9645b4840634c21a157752266d2d479"target="blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;North Korea threatens to attack South Korea, US&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good ol' Dear Leader Kim is threatening use of nukes.

Wanna buy a bridge?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://af.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idAFTRE71Q1XI20110227"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"target="blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Iraq PM sets 100 day deadline for gov after protests&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shape up or ship out. 100 days will give the connected cronies to loot whatever is left and go live on the French Riviera for the rest of their days. I wonder if they'll create a club for deposed despots? Maybe something like Club Med, with torture chambers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iran can have whatever is left. I'm sure that's what Iran means by "monitoring threats". I'm sure they don't want &lt;a href="http://af.reuters.com/article/libyaNews/idAFLDE71Q0FA20110227"target="blank"&gt;a bunch of angry illegal aliens, excuse me - "refugees", flooding across their border&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/how-about-adding-a-north-korea-crisis-to-the-mix/"target="blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;How About Adding a North Korea Crisis to the Mix?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read the above article and you might spend the night tossing and turning wondering exactly how &lt;a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fubar"target="blank"&gt;FUBAR&lt;/a&gt;ed our "Intelligence Services" are, not to mention people occupying key posts and even the &lt;a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/oval-office"target="blank"&gt;Oval Office&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.debka.com/article/20710/"target="blank"&gt;Demonstrations in Saudi Arabia have started, as well as bombings of key oil installations in the region&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's even rumors going around that Obama may stick his foot into another mess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/is-barack-obama-about-to-order-the-u-s-military-to-invade-libya"target="blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Is Barack Obama About To Order The U.S. Military To Invade Libya?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course not. Why would he want to open the doors to a bunch of angry illegal aliens, excuse me - "refugees" who don't like our way of life. Why flood our country with even more economically displaced people? Nothing like building a block of voters when &lt;a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/polls/145733-poll-obama-popularity-fell-in-all-50-states-in-2010"target="blank"&gt;your poll numbers keep sinking&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need a drink.

Sometimes its more than once a year when some exec gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar or up some gal's skirt.  Figure that out. Some high paid executive &lt;a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/screw_the_pooch" target="blank"&gt;screws the pooch&lt;/a&gt;, not the guys pounding nails and turning screws, but some tasseled loafer wearing, mint sucking jerk, and we have to take courses on "ethics".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the keystones that gets beaten into our heads is that we have to avoid even the "appearance of impropriety".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guess that just applies to us low guys on the totem pole.

-AFP&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the country continues to simmer, the propaganda organs continue to trumpet their skewed research, coupling it with biased reporting from their willing accomplices in the corporate/government media complex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This "report" was lifted directly from the Southern Poverty Law Center's website and it's 02/23/11 dated article "&lt;a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/news/us-hate-groups-top-1000"target="blank"&gt;U.S. Hate Groups Top 1,000&lt;/a&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the article, attempts are made to try and link Republican, Tea Party, and patriot group members as well as those who advocate enforcement of immigration regulations with Socialist groups, neo-Nazi's and White Supremacists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The report laments the fact that some active, engaged pro-America people have been elected to public office and have sought to restore some common sense to the landscape of American life by banning Sharia Law, restoring the original intent of &lt;a href="http://topics.law.cornell.edu/constitution/amendmentxiv"target="blank"&gt;Section One of the 14th Amendment&lt;/a&gt;, restoring State's Rights, and allowing people to establish alternative currencies (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coinage_Act_of_1965"target="blank"&gt;which was affirmed in the Coinage Act, 1965&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The report then continues to try and link the attack on Gabrielle Giffords by a former campaign worker ( and conveniently leaves out all the others - including a &lt;a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/031326_Judge_John_Roll_Giffords.html"target="blank"&gt;Federal Judge who had ruled against Obama&lt;/a&gt;), the so far (as far as I know) unsolved &lt;a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/fbi-pipe-bomb-found-spokane-washington-mlk-parade/story?id=12642275"target="blank"&gt;"bomb" supposedly planting along a Martin Luther King Day parade&lt;/a&gt;

I was surprised that they actually listed "&lt;a href="http://www.aztlan.net/"target="blank"&gt;Voz de Aztlan&lt;/a&gt;" (Voice Of Aztlan). It is a "general hate" group, according the SPLC, and not one specifically directed at the over throw of legitimate US and state governments, and the expulsion of non-Mexicans from their mythical homeland of Aztlan.  SPLC apparently doesn't consider any of the other anti-white, anti-American pro illegal alien, pro Mexican groups as hate groups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course not, it doesn't fit their agenda.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-5629152752423186503?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/5629152752423186503/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=5629152752423186503&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/5629152752423186503'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/5629152752423186503'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2011/02/more-demonization.html' title='More Demonization'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-5858293514913098869</id><published>2011-02-23T08:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-23T08:33:43.544-08:00</updated><title type='text'>What We Have Become</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XxeZvUKpFbM" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.masslive.com/chicopeeholyoke/republican/index.ssf?/base/news-32/129844894958470.xml&amp;amp;coll=1"target="blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Denny's Pancake Brawl&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; - story at The Republican via Masslive.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night, I expressed to the wife that I don't feel anything anymore.

I used to have empathy for victims of any type of tragedy, or injustice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't anymore. I don't feel anything. No anger. No sadness. Not even a "well, you asked for it". Nothing. I feel more for roadkill than I do my fellow human beings right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This fight was over the fact that someone didn't have maple syrup at their table.

That's right, NOTHING.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unions took to the streets to protest the prospect of their members having to shoulder more of the burden of their retirement and health care. Even with the proposed increases, the union membership would still have a relatively (compared to many Americans) well compensated position, and the prospect of a stable position.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But no, that's not good enough. They want to keep everything they have, even though what they have was gained often through strong arm tactics that held populations hostage. Even though the rank and file made modest gains once their demands were satisfied, the people who really benefited were never even acknowledged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graft, corruption, payoffs and "quid pro quo " deals are the hallmarks of big business. Make no mistake, Unions are big business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Big business, which includes banks, government, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-governmental_organization"&gt;NGOs&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intergovernmental_organization"&gt;IGOs&lt;/a&gt; (including &lt;a href="http://www.federalreserve.gov/"&gt;The Federal Reserve&lt;/a&gt; as a participant in the &lt;a href="http://www.imf.org/external/index.htm"&gt;IMF&lt;/a&gt;) have systematically looted the wealth from every nation, every people on the face of the Earth. If you happened to click on the &lt;a href="http://www.federalreserve.gov/"&gt;Federal Reserve&lt;/a&gt; link, did you notice that it had a .gov address? It isn't part of the United States' Government. It is a private entity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Creature-Jekyll-Island-Federal-Reserve/dp/0912986395" target="blank"&gt;The Creature From Jekyll Island&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/F3TAh1gy6rc" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parts &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/%3Ciframe%20title=%22YouTube%20video%20player%22%20width=%22480%22%20height=%22390%22%20src=%22http://www.youtube.com/embed/09oi0g_OKF4%22%20frameborder=%220%22%20allowfullscreen%3E%3C/iframe%3E" target="blank"&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/%3Ciframe%20title=%22YouTube%20video%20player%22%20width=%22480%22%20height=%22390%22%20src=%22http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ja9YlQ2wXnM%22%20frameborder=%220%22%20allowfullscreen%3E%3C/iframe%3E" target="blank"&gt;3&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/%3Ciframe%20title=%22YouTube%20video%20player%22%20width=%22480%22%20height=%22390%22%20src=%22http://www.youtube.com/embed/qqSjJ0Q5eTc%22%20frameborder=%220%22%20allowfullscreen%3E%3C/iframe%3E" target="blank"&gt;4&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/%3Ciframe%20title=%22YouTube%20video%20player%22%20width=%22480%22%20height=%22390%22%20src=%22http://www.youtube.com/embed/mJCJ1w60Ivc%22%20frameborder=%220%22%20allowfullscreen%3E%3C/iframe%3E" target="blank"&gt;5&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/%3Ciframe%20title=%22YouTube%20video%20player%22%20width=%22480%22%20height=%22390%22%20src=%22http://www.youtube.com/embed/qTgo_UOnu0E%22%20frameborder=%220%22%20allowfullscreen%3E%3C/iframe%3E" target="blank"&gt;6&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/%3Ciframe%20title=%22YouTube%20video%20player%22%20width=%22480%22%20height=%22390%22%20src=%22http://www.youtube.com/embed/K1jBTGOJFh4%22%20frameborder=%220%22%20allowfullscreen%3E%3C/iframe%3E" target="blank"&gt;7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're still not entirely sure of exactly what the Federal Reserve System is, listen to the above lecture from the author of the book, &lt;a href="http://realityzone.com/index.html"target="blank"&gt;G. Edward Griffin&lt;/a&gt;. While you do so, remember that his work has never been, to my knowledge,  challenged, nor has any legal action been taken to attempt to hold Griffin accountable for what some may consider slander or libel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You seriously have to wonder why. If it isn't true.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still don't believe it? &lt;a href="http://www.gti.net/mocolib1/prices/1910.html#1910holiday"target="blank"&gt;Look here and watch the prices soar&lt;/a&gt; over the decades. Remember, paper is paper, and ink is ink, and the printing presses do not magically give currency a greater value over time. In fact, it tends to do exactly the opposite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, why do I say the unions are fighting over nothing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you think a paper dollar is worth? Now you understand why they want more of them. Because they are worth nearly nothing when compared to the commodities that people need to live.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is at your door. Right now. Community after community, state after state, and nation after nation are going bankrupt. They can't play today and pay tomorrow like they have for decades. The keg is empty, and the party is over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what are you going to do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Waste your time running around in the streets shouting angry slogans, or have you finally awakened to the fact that Aesop's Ant was right, and now you better get what you can while you can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before that angry mob awakens to the fact that they've been used as tools and have been distracted from the real threat.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-3557282230608822602?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/3557282230608822602/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=3557282230608822602&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/3557282230608822602'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/3557282230608822602'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2011/02/wisconsin-it-is-already-at-your-door.html' title='Wisconsin: It is already at your door'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/F3TAh1gy6rc/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-5467380868431082283</id><published>2011-02-17T00:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-16T22:00:40.257-08:00</updated><title type='text'>New York Disaster Manual + Stuxnet</title><content type='html'>If you didn't get a chance to read about Litterbox Links, &lt;a href="http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2011/02/litterbox-links.html" target="blank"&gt;check out the post from Wednesday&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Tuesday it was New York &lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/14/us-condom-app-idUSTRE71D6T920110214" target="blank"&gt;publishing an app for free condoms&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, they're publishing a "Doomsday Manual" according to the folks over at &lt;a href="http://www.theblaze.com/" target="blank"&gt;The Blaze&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I haven't had a chance to read through it (&lt;a href="http://www.nycourts.gov/whatsnew/pdf/PublicHealthLegalManual.pdf" target="blank"&gt;available for download here&lt;/a&gt;), but according to The Blaze, "&lt;a href="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/ny-releases-doomsday-manual-for-possible-apocalyptic-event/" target="blank"&gt;How should judges, lawyers, and public health officials respond to a  chemical weapon attack?

For literally decades, people have laughed at and derided survivalists and preppers. And to an extent, much of the mainstream media still does look at us like a bunch of crazies. The government labels us extremists and even terrorists at times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet, quietly, almost stealthily those same organizations that have heaped scorn upon those people being proactive in preparing for any eventuality, have been doing the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They've built huge underground installations (&lt;a href="http://www.projectcamelot.org/underground_bases.html"target="blank"&gt;check out Project Camelot's photos&lt;/a&gt;), squirreled away &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_Global_Seed_Vault"target="blank"&gt;seeds in a massive arctic vault,&lt;/a&gt; established a defacto national militarized police force known as &lt;a href="http://www.fema.gov/"target="blank"&gt;FEMA&lt;/a&gt;, established by &lt;a href="http://www.fas.org/irp/offdocs/eo/eo-12127.htm"target="blank"&gt;Executive Order 12127&lt;/a&gt; . FEMA has had its powers consistently widened by subsequent EOs&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want a good idea of what FEMA has been granted the power to do, check out the article &lt;a href="http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/fema_executive_orders.htm"target="blank"&gt;FEMA Executive Orders&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have to ask yourself, "Why"? If we're all crazy.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now they're expanding it down to the lowest levels of the government, even though we know none of these people will ever be allowed into &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Weather_Emergency_Operations_Center"target="blank"&gt;Mount Weather&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you hadn't heard, the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet"target="blank"&gt;Stuxnet Worm&lt;/a&gt; has been stolen. Read more here: &lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/02/15/anonymous-hackers-offer-stuxnet-worm-online/"target="blank"&gt;Anonymous Hackers Release Stuxnet Worm Online.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is going to be really fun if someone decides to be &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fight_Club_%28film%29"target="blank"&gt;Tyler Durden&lt;/a&gt; and create a real life "Project Mayhem" and targets banks, credit card companies, trading companies and exchanges, and government systems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It isn't outside the realm of possibility. I know many people have taken to keeping the bare minimum in their bank accounts and have moved to hard assets, but if you haven't or can't, watch for any oddities when you use your credit or ATM cards, in your statements, and in general when you interface with computer systems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you hear about places suddenly being unable to process transactions, it may be time to get what you can. The economy is a bunch of linked computers with nothing but 1's and 0's saying this money goes here or there, and you have this much, and they have that much. Most people don't even have an up to date passbook anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If they go down....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, this may be the perfect ruse for those in power to shut down the Internet. Or they may just blame the shutdown on Stuxnet.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-5467380868431082283?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/5467380868431082283/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=5467380868431082283&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/5467380868431082283'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/5467380868431082283'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2011/02/new-york-disaster-manual-stuxnet.html' title='New York Disaster Manual + Stuxnet'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-6483493568891031037</id><published>2011-02-16T20:20:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-16T20:32:49.162-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Litterbox Links</title><content type='html'>Down on the left side.

When I do, I'll point it out just in case it is something that interests you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below each post, there are some check boxes for you if you're not in the mood to comment but want to leave some kind of feedback.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also there's a handy button to allow you to e-mail posts to your closest enemies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can also use the buttons to post updates to &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/" target="blank"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/" target="blank"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/buzz" target="blank"&gt;Google Buzz&lt;/a&gt;, and even post the content to your own blog if you need something but just don't have time to write yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, some of our fellow bloggers have ceased writing as you can see from some of the links. I will be updating those as well. If you blog, and want your link here, drop me a note. The e-mail address is down there on the left or in my profile. Those of you who did so recently, I'll get them up during this next week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ran across these books out there and thought they might interest some of you. The first one is for you to read just in case you ever meet me in person. Ha! Just kidding!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other two might help in planning for and understanding some of the dynamics at play in global society, as well as helping you plan for your own personal protection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click on the cover to be taken to the download site.

In spite of the developed world's decades long effort to alleviate hunger around the globe, it is estimated that someone starves to death every 3.6 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rising food prices and scarcity have already played a part in the overthrow of the governments in Tunisia, and Egypt. Other Middle East nations' governments are also feeling the pressure of unrest among their citizenry as prices push past a family's means.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/" target="blank"&gt;Business Insider&lt;/a&gt; has published &lt;a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/governments-food-price-inflation-2011-1?slop=1" target="blank"&gt;The Top 25 Countries Whose Governments Could Get Crushed By Food Inflation&lt;/a&gt;. Just as an aside, while you're over there, check this out: &lt;a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/what-people-eat-2011-2?slop=1" target="blank"&gt;Photos Of What People Keep In Their Fridge&lt;/a&gt;. I swear one has what looks like laundry in it, and another has a frozen rattlesnake. Just weird.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to the subject at hand, look at what some people in some countries have to spend to feed themselves. In the Ukraine, people spend over 60% of what they earn to feed themselves. Many others are pushing 50%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those of you here in the United States, imagine that. If you had to set aside fifty cents out of every dollar you took home just to feed your family.  How would you manage everything else? Fuel? Shelter? Clothing? Medical care? It boggles the mind, especially considering that some families struggle to meet every one's minimum needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then on top of it all, compare what the average family in those countries earn per year. Food isn't cheaper in those countries because people earn less. Often it is more expensive because many of these countries have to import food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe some residents in Canada will be able to identify with this situation, as it was recently reported that &lt;a href="http://www.cbc.ca/canada/north/story/2011/02/10/f-arctic-bay-food-prices.html#ixzz1DdDeb5oX" target="blank"&gt;people are spending $29.00 for Cheez Wiz and $38.00 for Cranberry Cocktail&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One must consider that we may have already pushed past the precipice when it comes to food availability and price stability. The continuing unstable weather patterns and extreme weather events that have devastated crops around the world are likely to persist in the foreseeable future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what does this mean?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about counterfeit food? Think I'm kidding?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.weirdasianews.com/2007/05/04/chinas-10-steps-to-make-a-fake-egg/" target="blank"&gt;How To Make Fake Eggs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While fake eggs have plagued the Chinese consumer for about ten years now, as scarcity and rising prices continue, the effort to produce and market these bogus items will likely escalate. Unconfirmed news reports say that these fake eggs have also been found in other Asian nations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watch the video below and watch fake eggs, grapes, and intestines being made from chemicals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/T55tz4qwFMo" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fake rice made from plastic?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object style="height: 360px; width: 420px"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vT3JTUCaB_4?version=3"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vT3JTUCaB_4?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="360" width="420"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There have been reports of bottled olive oil being cut with other "oils". There hasn't been a definitive list issued as to what adulterates the olive oil, but one report said that it was "synthetic". When someone says "synthetic", I think motor oil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click on the links below the covers to read more about the book.

In a few moments there's all this commotion over these guys trying to steal a TV. They hadn't actually left the store with it, but everyone gets all excited because they're acting suspiciously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile a woman quietly walks in, and while everyone is preoccupied with these two TV non-thieves, helps herself to $26,000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then walks out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was nearly 10 minutes before anyone realized what had happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two guys left without the TV. I'm sure they got a cut of the 26K payday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, I was busy tearing out the old and installing the new.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.trendsresearch.com/gerald.html" target="blank"&gt;Gerald Celente&lt;/a&gt; is famous for saying, "&lt;a href="http://geraldcelentechannel.blogspot.com/2010/12/gerald-celente-when-people-lose.html" target="blank"&gt;When people lose everything, and have nothing left to lose, they lose it&lt;/a&gt;!"

Its rider was named Death, and his companion was the Grave. These two were given authority over one-fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword and famine and disease and wild animals.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some say it is a lens flare. Others a reflection of the fire in the background captured by the camera. As proof of the flare theory, people also point to the small companion balls of light that follow the rider and disappear as the rider does when the camera pans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In some translations of the Bible, the Greek word Hades is often translated into Hell.

So now what?</title><content type='html'>The world as we know it ended. Now what?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, I posted about a survival site that gave a "how to" on looting.  Last night, I went to bed ruminating on this subject and drifted off to sleep wondering when "&lt;a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/looting" target="blank"&gt;looting&lt;/a&gt;" becomes "&lt;a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Scavenging" target="blank"&gt;scavenging&lt;/a&gt;" or "&lt;a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/salvaging" target="blank"&gt;salvaging&lt;/a&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning, I awoke without any definite  answer. Wandering around the web looking at various websites dealing with laws concerning lost, mislaid, and abandoned property also left me without a definitive answer. It seems that the government has managed to lay claim through "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escheat" target="blank"&gt;escheat&lt;/a&gt;" to anything of real value, and to have perverted Common Law to its own benefit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the property is abandoned, the government gets it, and if there is no government, or &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;effective&lt;/span&gt; government in place, then one could suppose that is when it becomes salvage and suitable for scavenging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This isn't in any way to be considered legal advice. It is just this author's ruminations on the subject. If anyone out there is an attorney and has dealt with this area, I'm sure everyone would love to read anything you might have to say on the subject. Please leave a comment, or send me an e-mail and I will post it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, I find it odd that I would still find myself constrained by the concept of right and wrong in such a situation. The videos posted last night showing the wanton looting taking place in the 1992 LA Riots showed that many others seem to be only constrained by the threat of force.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm seriously wondering if this will place me at a disadvantage if everything comes apart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depending on the type of collapse we experience, there may be many places that will be left untouched by looters. In these instances, scavenging and salvaging any useable commodities will be extremely easy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, once the easily accessible locations have been exploited, finding needed commodities may become more challenging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having spent much of my adult life working in securing buildings, industrial sites, military depots and the like, there are some things one should remember when conducting salvage operations in more secure locations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of these places require two people to access certain rooms, and buildings. Some doors can only be opened from the outside. Once you're in, and the door shuts, you are stuck until someone opens the door and lets you out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some doors can only be opened from the inside, or by use of a card key, biometric scanner, RFID reader or other electronic means.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some doors don't have the type of hardware that most people are used to, that is, some are electro-mechanical and others have more than just a simple door latch and strike or deadbolt. Some are even more like vault doors and have multiple active and passive bolts and relocking devices. Some doors auto-lock when they close.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many doors that are electronically operated may not be easily opened if the power is out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be prepared to deal with doors. The best way is to ensure the door can not be closed behind you is to take it off its hinges. If you can't, once it is open, disable its latching and bolting mechanisms and by taping over the strike with duct tape and cardboard. Alternately, use a length of rope, chain, cable or &lt;a href="http://www.nelcoproducts.com/shopping/shopdisplaycategories.asp?id=1&amp;amp;cat=Cable+Ties" target="blank"&gt;heavy duty nylon cable ties&lt;/a&gt; to tie the door open. You can also construct door wedges and use these.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These wedges aren't the type that people are normally familiar with. They aren't the rubber or wood wedge that you jam between the bottom of the door and the floor. These are U-shaped pieces of metal that get dropped over a door hinge. They keep the door from fully swinging shut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can simply bend a piece of copper tube or rod over a mandrel, or you can make something that &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wedge-Ultimate-Door-Stop-Orange/dp/B00070FXG4" target="blank"&gt;looks more like this&lt;/a&gt;. The U-shaped piece of metal is also useful for overhead roll up style doors in that it can be dropped through the holes in the track to keep the door from falling shut. Make sure you use tubing or rod that is large enough in diameter that the door can not be forced shut. In other words, coat hanger wire is not appropriate for this purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are unsure if there are others about, and are worried that someone may come behind you and close doors and seal you in, &lt;a href="http://www.kryptonitelock.com/Pages/default.aspx" target="blank"&gt;Kryptonite Locks&lt;/a&gt; can also be used as door wedges. They can only be removed by the person with the key. You can also use padlocks with a length of stout chain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The least safe way to hold the door open is by propping it open with a handy garbage can or chair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conduct a full reconnaissance before entering the site. If you're there, chances are that other people know about it as well. Look for telltale signs of recent activity, entry or even occupancy. Such things would be  trampled grass, disturbed soil, clean and unweathered locks or chains on gates, clean spots on otherwise dirty windows, "fresh" refuse, uncharacteristic scents for the area (smoke, cooking, etc.), vehicles that do not look like they belong there, and signs of the presence of domestic animals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listen for man made sounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, sometimes the door is not always the best method of entry. I've been places where there's bullet proof glass, reinforced concrete and steel walls, and &lt;a href="http://www.shortinfosec.net/2008/05/dead-man-door-blueprint.html" target="blank"&gt;dead man doors&lt;/a&gt; (problem with the design on this page. The doors should both open inward, so only one door may be open at a time). Often, I have found that if you go above the ceiling, you find that you can drop behind these imposing fortifications because the designers believe that no one would use the ceiling space as a means of access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In one stunning case of a jewelry manufacturer, in the case of their high security diamond room, the ceiling was a &lt;a href="http://www.armstrong.com/resclgam/na/ceilings/en/us/video-suspended-drop-ceiling-panel-installation.asp"target="blank"&gt;suspended ceiling (drop tile)&lt;/a&gt;. An 8ft ladder and you were into the ceiling and over the bullet proof glass and reinforced masonry wall in under 30 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It also stunned me to learn that some secure rooms were surrounded by nothing more than sheet rock and steel studs. You could kick your way through the wall, and have a much easier time rather than trying to defeat the high security doors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So remember, it sometimes is easier to go through a ceiling space or through a wall rather than trying to open a secure door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world ended. What can happen?

Some of you, maybe not. I just came across it yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems to cover some of the topics of &lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.americanpreppersnetwork.com/" target="blank"&gt;The American Preppers Network&lt;/a&gt;, and affiliated state sites. However, it does go beyond advocating people be proactive in preparation for &lt;a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=SHTF" target="blank"&gt;SHTF&lt;/a&gt; scenarios. It &lt;a href="http://www.nobullshitsurvival.com/showthread.php?s=cf39d6c7dccfa84aaf3743334f87a2e2&amp;amp;t=164" target="blank"&gt;advocates people develop looting skills&lt;/a&gt; and to have a "looting kit" and a "looting team".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us be quite frank about something. Looting is a bad idea. It is the last resort. The last act of desperation. If looting begins, don't stick around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may just result in this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/DgaA8HbBhvs" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PmsKGhLdZuQ" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not enough for you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read the interview and watch the video:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wdsu.com/r/20048909/detail.html" target="blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;We Shot 38 Looters&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5881634150183953016-8932089660751240693?l=catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/feeds/8932089660751240693/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5881634150183953016&amp;postID=8932089660751240693&amp;isPopup=true' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/8932089660751240693'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5881634150183953016/posts/default/8932089660751240693'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://catmanslitterbox.blogspot.com/2011/02/survival-website-advocates-looting.html' title='Survival Website Advocates Looting'/><author><name>Catman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15910838062037114633</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6_io3WBd3Ag/SfZj5zPWf6I/AAAAAAAAAMY/4T06fR1wQ8M/S220/ME.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/DgaA8HbBhvs/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881634150183953016.post-6964064954615802960</id><published>2011-02-03T17:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-03T20:13:13.873-08:00</updated><title type='text'>What More Evidence Do You Need?</title><content type='html'>Ah, the joys of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schadenfreude" target="blank"&gt;schadenfreunde&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, its not really schadenfreunde. People were told over and over what was coming, but for whatever reason, decided to be like Lindsay Lohan and ignore some very sound advice. These folks aren't really suffering from misfortune, or even simple  ignorance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is outright stupidity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aesop" target="blank"&gt;Aesop&lt;/a&gt; was a slave, yet told fables with central themes that can only be described as truth. Sometimes it would seem that "truth", especially today, tends to be malleable depending on who is telling the tale. But then, is it really truth, an opinion, or worse.... an outright lie? &lt;a href="http://www.umass.edu/aesop/" target="blank"&gt;Examine the central truths within Aesop's fables&lt;/a&gt; and see if they are malleable, or rigid. Have they survived millennia  essentially unchanged?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or are they like the pronouncements of the learned and esteemed men and women of today? The pronouncements they label as truth. Global Warming is now Climate Change. Obama's promise of "change" and yet, we're still embroiled in two wars and how many police actions? Unemployment is shrinking, yet the numbers of new applicants for benefits grow each day. Even as people drop off the roles because their benefits have been exhasuted. The Patriot Act, ostensibly a tool to protect Americans from terrorism, but in fact the very structure to leave Americans vulnerable to the predations of the uniformed, gun wielding terrorists at home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two of Aesop's most famous fables concerned a tortoise and a hare, and an ant and a grasshopper. To a prepper, these are central to our core philosophy. Slow and steady wins the race, and to prepare for days of necessity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The days of necessity are upon many around the globe. Those of you who have yet to prepare still have time, but you best get at it now.
