Here we go again

Another vehicle attack, this time in NYC!
Could have been much worse, were it not for a courageous school-bus driver
  1. As has been pointed-out by many, including me, this kind of attack is easily put together, and easily exported.
  2. We’ll see more of it!
  3. The single suspect is “middle-eastern,” and yelled “Allahu Akbar” during the attack. What a surprise
  4. NYC’s dufus mayor almost immediately (wishfully) declared that there was no ongoing threat, long before he had any business saying any such thing. Liberals, in and out of the media, typically tell you what they wish were true, not what is actually true!
  5. He also (as usual) declared the suspect a “lone wolf.” More wishful thinking!
  6. Typical ineffective government response will be the imposition of new restrictions on rental vehicles, which will of course, have zero effect on terrorists. Similar attempts to impose burdensome restrictions on the private ownership of guns are also ineffective. Once more, we’re predictably treated to lots of “security theater,” but precious little actual security, as we see!

What can be done by units of government to effectively address this kind of terrorist attack, and terrorist attacks in general?
All the things they don’t want to do:

  1. Restrict immigration from terrorist nations.
  2. Adopt “criminal profiling” as standard LE procedure
  3. Build a wall on our southern border.
  4. Start deporting illegal immigrants.
  5. Jail those who come back.
Again, none of the forgoing will happen any time soon.
What can we do as individuals?
  1. Understand that you’re “on your own.”
  2. Adopt personal preparedness as a way of life. Keep your head up
  3. Tweak your lifestyle so that you reduce exposure to aggravated risk.
  4. Acquire effective caliber weapons, pistols and rifles, and learn how to use them
  5. Go armed
  6. Have heavy weapons (rifles) always nearby
  7. Be prepared to change plans, particularly travel plans, instantly
  8. Be always ready to act decisively when necessary! Think in advance about what you might have to do, so you won’t hesitate. You will not get a second chance!

Terrorists will kill us all, unless we kill them first! It’s time everyone, in and out of government, confront this stark truth squarely!

All must take serious, personal responsibility for their own safety!
Conversely, when you think you want to be a “victim,” history will happily accommodate you, with no wavering, no regrets!
A quote from the movie “A Few Good Men” is appropriate here:

Flip the lever, pull the chain

The only true secrets are those that remain hidden. The only true mysteries, those that can never be solved.

There are events swirling like street dirt driven by the heady gusts of an incoming weather front.

Redacted information from events over a half century in the past withheld; a 180 degree change of direction in the probe regarding an international adversary; sudden information available regarding those alleged to be “good guys” and none of it making any coherent sense unless you have a depth chart hidden in plain sight and therefore mostly overlooked.

We must remember that those pushing the buttons and pulling the levers that control the machine generally are not concerned with controlling particular lives, (especially those of little import to them). They wish to control events, sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly. It is about control, power and real wealth, and NOTHING happens without their input and approval.

The only true secrets are those that remain hidden. The only true mysteries, those that can never be solved.

It’s not a swamp, it’s a sewer

There is a picture circulating of President Trump’s Chief of Staff John Kelly doing a “facepalm” during the POTUS’ speech at the UN. GOP pundit Ed Rollins stated on the Lou Dobbs show that there are reports that Kelly was a supporter of Hillary Clinton and voted for her during the recent presidential election.

Supporters of President Trump are expressing horror and disgust and surprise. Why?

..and this is somehow a surprise? The “deep state”, the “shadow government”, whatever the current crop of pundits want to label it as had a surprise and, in their scheme of things, a minor setback in November of 2016. Like an improv group in a stage performance, the electorate went “off script” and improvised. This is little more than a small speed bump… an inconvenience to those who truly control the levers of power.

In the 9th month of this administration we can see that when all is said and done, there is much more said than done. Surprise, surprise…NOT!

THE DEEP STATE: Where other men blindly follow the truth, remember, that nothing is true. Where other men are limited by morality or law, remember, everything is permitted.
