COVID19 Factors We Should Consider/Current Events

I think shooting the assailant is the best option.

Almost always.

[Jason Donaldson]

... I would never deny someone the dignity of self defense by any means. Or deride them for trying.

The importance of this is not to be underestimated. It is my understanding that counselors of people who've been violently assaulted tend to find that the people who put up determined resistance, even when they lose the fight, are sexually assaulted, are robbed, et al. do better mentally afterward than the ones who follow the "just submit, don't make them angry" advice. There's nothing inherently wrong with running or avoiding, if prudent, but when that's not possible or not the best option, being prepared is best.

The late Col. Cooper once replied to an interviewer asking him "but doesn't violence just beget violence" with something along the lines of, "Madam, I am committed to ensuring that it does. If someone wishes to commit violence against me or my family, it is my intention to see that he receives more violence in return than he can possibly enjoy."

Aggression can trained. I was lucky to be in the Marines back when they still believed in letting us beat the crap out of each other to get good at violence. Bootcamp did a lot for the mental aspect too.

Same - in the Cold War period, the looming fear of the Soviets was very real. Our basic close combat training had basically no continuum of force back then. It was all geared toward killing the anti-American effectively and quickly. The system that followed did better with the needs of more varied and nuanced situations as those became the norm. Being able to switch the mindset is crucial either way. I can still remember the exhortations of one of our DIs on the bayonet range to this day...

If Larry's getting this mindset training in Krav Maga, then more power to him. "Size of the fight in the dog," and all that. The dynamics of interpersonal, non-consensual violence are different than sport or dueling.

I did a project and presentation on Larry Sinclair and this incident in 2008 or 2009 that landed me suspended from school. I’m glad it is resurfacing.

While the Australian populace is distracted with a pointless and costly referendum on Indigenous Australians' 'Voice to Parliament", the fuckers at the Dept of Health are sneaking in a public consultation on:

1. the negotiation of a new international legal instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response, and

2. targeted changes to the International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR) through the World Health Organization (WHO).

Submissions close 17 Sept.

I'd make a submission but from the form they are "most interested in":

"How can international cooperation be improved to more effectively prevent, prepare for, and respond to, future pandemics and other international health emergencies? "

"What issues do you think need to be prioritised to guide the world’s future preparation for, and responses to, future pandemics and other international health emergencies? "

"Is there any other information you would like to provide that might help to guide Australia’s engagement on a new international pandemic instrument and changes to the IHR?"

Aka this is what we are doing, we want your opinion on what colour we should paint it.

America’s top gun safe manufacturer, Liberty Safe, gave the FBI an access code to a safe owned by someone who was present at the J6 protest.

We have officially found the Bud Light of gun safes. Enjoy going out of business,
@libertysafeinc.

The situation gets even worse: On August 30, 2023, the FBI raided the owner of the safe, Arkansas man Nathan Hughes who is a friend of the
@hodgetwins.

Not only did they access his safe but the FBI also allegedly turned off his security cameras and held his girlfriend at gun point.

Did you know that there was an "access code" to your "safe"?

What you'll find is that the large majority of county law enforcement in the vast majority of US states will not enforce a blatant 2nd Amendment violation like this. They know who elected them.

I think the past three years have shown that the, I guess, enlisted police will enforce anything they are told to enforce. In such a case, what does a conflict between them and the elected sheriff and his department look like?

We all know these people are weirdos, manufactured, sheep-deeped, constructed, fake, non-people. Lee Harvey Oswald. Sirhan Sirhan. John Hinckley, Jr.. Jeffrey Epstein. I guess I'm curious what this accomplishes now?

If anyone wants a vomit-inducing reminder of what an absolute piece of shit Mike Pence is: Mike Pence's Rewriting of His January 6 Heroism

During last week’s GOP debate in Milwaukee, the former vice president forced his Republican opponents to thank him for allegedly saving the republic on January 6, 2021. “The American people deserve to know whether everyone on this stage agrees that I kept my oath to the Constitution that day,” Pence declared.

Unfortunately, the rest of the field complied. “Mike Pence stood for the Constitution and he deserves not grudging credit, he deserves our thanks as Americans,” former New Jersey governor Chris Christie fawned. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) agreed that Pence “did the right thing.” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis admitted Pence “did his duty” and disclosed he has “no beef” with the former vice president.

They're literally all fork-tongued psychopaths.

Remember when he collected his pieces of silver? They seem compelled to reveal thing symbolically, almost like it's a rule.

Wow. I hope they enjoy the bud light treatment, although the $1000 dollar safe business operates on longer timescales.

And to answer your rhetorical but related question, I can assure you any oem access code to my safe no longer functions because the POS electronic lock stopped working.

Well shit, I was just about to place an order from them. Was trying to find a good USA made safe, but looks like I'm starting over. I'll stick with the old timey combination lock; the digital or fingerprint ones aren't for me.
