The FA:FO file
this missive is all I am going to say about the fun in Mini-no-place,,,
FA;FO goes both ways,,, Right now, it seems that there is a some push from one side to get the other side in full arms. YOU figure out which side I am refering to,, it goes both ways, doesn’t it?
Second: If you are a ‘peaceful Protester’ keep in mind that LEO of all stripes are paranoid of weaponry. Weaponry can be anything from that 4000# SUV you are aiming at them, or as simple (HA!) as a 14oz handgun or 32oz Louisville slugger. ITS NOT THE TOOL, ITS THE INTENT!!! And that intent is what is being judged in those cases,,, if such LEO sees your intent as detrimental to their going home, they are going to respond IN KIND, and believe me, they have the force of Law backing them,,, Your position is the weaker stance, no matter what tool your intent chooses to use.
NOW,,, My real position on all of this stuff,,,
PURE DISTRACTION. I am seeing mulitple vectors in play, some good some bad, some indifferent, some retrogressive even (not neccisarily bad regression either, like bringing REAL PRIDE back into the Military forces, not the shame that was instilled during the last auto-pen presidency.)
There are so many things playing UNDER THE SURFACE these days, and I keep one thing in mind, something from one of Sarah Hoyts books. I’ll paraphrase the quote as I haven’t permission to use it verbatim. “Control the source of energy, you can control people in very subtle ways.” Maybe our national Federal Gooberment IS the ‘gas man’ of the world, and maybe that position is in jeopardy with China and Russia making bull runs on sources and supplies and even Gaming the BRICS strategem in the other power player, “Currency”.
The Maduro regime destroyed that country, and even destroyed its energy production, essentially turning it into a third world shithole where people were doing home invasions to abduct a KAT for dinner, usually killing the owner in the process. Rumor had it that there were even instances of canniblism due to outrageous and widespread hunger problems. As for the abduction of MADuro by the US,, I do think it was over-reach by our government, and Stated as much in a recent post, but the way things are going, I can’t condemn this action. I can say that many of the charges listed were complete bullshit (how to you hold a president of another country, accountable underr US laws,,, I’m talking the whole ‘unregisterd fully automatics” charge,,, WTF?)
I do believe there was a better way of dealing with this, but that being said, I think it was also done for the optics of it. This was this admin saying “RULES? We make the rules!!!” to the rest of the world, and specifically to Putin and Xi. This is the last gasp of a SuperPower. China and Russia already know they are done as such and positioning for the next phase of the game.
There is also a certain amount of “Banker” stink to all of this as well. That whole “Last of the countries not ran by a Rothschilds bank” comes to mind.
Fact: Top down is DYING,,,, Look around the world and all fo the topdown structures are failing. Even this country is failing if you really pay attention to the money supply/debt ratio/ printing press operations,,, and that doesn’t aim the blow at this Administration specifically, but all of them since Nixon,,,
They are high on their own supply and the masks are coming off and people are seeing “Hey, all of these taxes we are paying, are feeding this corruption. Why are we still paying?”
And that leads to TAX REVOLT and THAT!!! is something I can get behind. the rest of this shit,,, Stupid theater for the masses to keep them from seeing that the facade is faked and falling off the brick wall at the back of the theater stage. (the one that will be littered with bullet holes, blood splatters and brain bits, when one side or the other takes control and puts the other side down.)
I have my own little world that needs completed and ready for when those winds of change start howling. I can fully see this country going full Balkans-like in the next 18 months, and that it will start right around the midterms.
No prognostications here, just gut instincts. And thats why I have more interest in a Bloo truck and tools right now.
Give me your thoughts, but I am not really up to discussion on this,,, Too partisan for my own ends right now. Only thing I can say, If shit goes teats up, all bills are settled. (and if you think our gooberment isn’t thinking the same thing??? LOL)
LLLLL!

Dio's Workshop 
A very good analysis, Bro Dio.
I believe that the midterms will be an interesting time as well. We know that the demonrats (NO, I ain’t a Republicrat, either!) will not accept a loss. Republicrat and Demlican = 2 sides of the same coin.
I can easily see the U.S. going Balkan – too much division amongst us to be a Nation anymore. And yes, I look back at the Hart-Cellar Act (1965) as the full on 1st strike against the USA. Unfortunately, it was all too successful. TPTB can’t have a single Nation being so prosperous and powerful, now can they?
Smoke and mirrors are in full use right now, with so much distraction(s) happening. It remains to be seen how things shake out. All I can say is – Head on a swivel 24/7/365, and be Situationally Aware 100% of the time. Stay away from large groups and shi….es – I mean cities. Being armed will be even more of a plus than it is now!
LL’s!
Y’all take care,
Mike in FLA.

yeah let’s defend the indefensible. Call the side you don’t care for childish schoolboy names but with the caveat that doesn’t demean the opposition in kind ?
yet let’s just burn it all down .
like you , I predict all will fall. Many reasons given for said fall, but primarily resource based economics . Ego, vanity and nationalistic bullshit.
so you’re getting prepared to go into a business , which currently has thousands of mechanics doing the same thing. Because dealerships are literally raping their employees and customer base. Mind you ,in all trades and occupations. My question is this. If the whole supply chain breaks down, there is no fuel, parts or economy not to mention every swinging dick wannabe mechanic is thinking similar thoughts.
tough times, either we learn that freedom means the other guy is allowed his own vice and like the idea.?
or the experiment has failed

And its pretty damned obvious you read into my words ehat you wanted to hear. I didnt criticize one side over another: they are ALL fucked up and dirty, and i thought I had said that well with the statement of “it goes both ways, doesnt it?”
Anf go ahead and bring up the Constitution if you wish: ya might note that NEITHER side is playing by those rules with the exception of using it as a bludgeon when the opposition steps too far left or right.
Its ALL fake and gay now. I deal with what I can, ME, and right now, my little world is far more in flux than I care for.

my game as you say is only just an opinion. I have always been mostly anti trump but non pro dem side either. Just calling it as as see it from what I see as a position of futility and with reality thrown in.
Ÿmvv of course?
Hey if you’re inclined toward only fast eco comic gain, I hear the proud boy squad is handing out $50k bonus to sign up, to shoot pussy gay women who get in their way.
yeah you’re pright I’m just old and tired of angry people who only look at their own self interest.
reality is a bitch then we die anyway, so what does it really matter eh ?

just posted something and maybe it will explain my position better. I am seemingly ‘self focused’ right now, but like I tell my students, “If you aren’t able to do your thing because you failed at keeping yourself together, what good are you to the rest of the world?” I tend to service oriented roles,,, but If I can’t do my job because I failed to maintain my tools or whatnot,,,, You see the rub?
Apologies for jumping on you, but I ‘m tired and grumpy too.

yup shitty day here too. Remember the daughter that I drove c
ear out to Idaho and rescued from troubles bout twelve years ago or so . Well short of the long of it she relapsed after about a year of being straight and we booted her out for using again.
ten years we heard nothing from her, then last year she called crying that she was homeless after the hurricane hit Tampa. What do ya do , kids are a forever liability .
so we let her come back home… three days ago I caught her in the middle of fixing up batch of injectable poison… I just walked away saying nothing.
gave her the time to think about her and my dilemma. This morning I couldn’t hold my tongue any longer and asked what the plan was. She told me it was none of my bidness…wrong answer and she was shown the exit of no return. My heart is broken for her lost soul. Which is exactly what that shit takes from its users.
Yup an over all shitty day.

Collapse is written into the recipe at this point in time. Our national debt will be written down or defaulted on. I think this country gonna break apart into a few smaller ones. Gonna be dicey dangerous times for a while. How bad? How long? Only God knows. But the survivors will not be like our current nation. All we can really do is keep on keeping on with the prepping, building and planning, and see how it plays out.
