The Bat Signal is LIT! – JPFO – CLaire Wolfe
Claire has lit the Bat Signal over at her blog. Long Story Short. Since the founder of the JPFO has died they’ve had a few problems. Recently the JPFO has had a small financial problem. Nothing major, but 1 of the 3 board members had the bright idea that he wanted to chuck it all and merge the JPFO with Alan Gottlieb’s SAF/CCRKBA humongous fund raising machine. Well there are problems with that.As Claire Explains;”Aaron wanted to educate people so that victim disarmament would go away. He would have been thrilled to be able to close JPFO’s doors and say, “We’ve done it.”On the other hand, he despised Alan Gottlieb and saw …

Historical Benchrest competitions
The sport of benchrest shooting, wherein there are no shooting positions but the rifles are firmly supported by some type of media has become quite popular in the past few decades. It truly is wringing out the most in rifle accuracy between 100 and 500 yards. But where did it come from? The modern sport … Read More … The post Historical Benchrest competitions appeared first on The Firearm Blog.

S.T.A. Training Group walks Lil Red thru the fundamentals of a tactical reload using an AK style weapon. The twist comes in when he hits the mag release with the fresh magazine.

The instructor says that if … Read More … The post A Slight Twist On The AK Reload appeared first on The Firearm Blog.
Feminism, Self-Defense & Victim Blaming
These are the folks who think Ms. Nevada was wrong to say this, from Larry Correia “But I think more awareness is very important so women can learn how to protect themselves. Myself, as a fourth-degree black belt, I learned from a young age that you need to be confident and be able to defend yourself. And I think that’s something that we should start to really implement for a lot of women.”Basically, They think they should be able to just wish bad things won’t happen, and anyone who comes along and says “reality doesn’t work that way” is an evil misogynist who’s victim blaming…. Heck I’d like to not have CP. I’d love to have one day where I’m pain …
The U.S.S.R or America?
“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”-Benjamin Franklin 1759There are times where I feel ashamed of what America, “land of the free” has become. This weekend was one of those times. It was also a very happy time, as my baby sister graduated with a civil engineering degree and a GPA above 3.0 (she’s the smart one of the bunch)I attended my sisters graduation from U of D. I’m a Delaware grad, and this was my third time being there for a graduation ceremony. This is the first time I’ve ever been in the football stadium…
SNOOPING, ANYONE? – VINTAGE SURVEILLANCE EQUIPMENT FROM THE 50’S, 60’S & 70’S
Hound Dog Bug Detector And Phone Sweep Unit, 1950’s/1960’s The Hound Dog Bug Detector And Phone Sweep was state of the art portable countermeasures for the 1960’s. If you owned a set, almost every detective agency in town wanted to see it and “barrow them.” They were made by R. B. Clifton and cost what would be about $2000.00 for the set by today’s standards. The Hound Dog was a portable RF bug detector which is shown on the left. The Phone Sweep was a tone sweeper that would let you remotely sweep a phone to turn on any hidden microphones which the unit could then detect. This was state-of-the-art…

Some Very Good News … 100 {660353129f8d892044c993645a1c75194301fec6786a7f617c15adde0b0011e9} Solar in 14 years
Futurist Ray Kurzweil notes that solar power has been doubling every two years for the past 30 years — as costs have been dropping. He says solar energy is only six doublings — or less than 14 years — away from meeting 100 percent of today’s energy needs.Energy usage will keep increasing, so this is a moving target……But, by Kurzweil’s estimates, inexpensive renewable sources will provide more energy than the world needs in less than 20 years. Even then, we will be using only one part in 10,000 of the sunlight that falls on the Earth….. Washingtonpost.com
North Park Assault Suspect Caught; How to Stay Safe?
The Summer of 2014 brought fear to the women of North Park, a community of San Diego. You see there was an attacker on the loose apparently trying to sexually assault women in the neighborhoods. Here is the story: STORY. The interesting thing to me about this story and many more like it is the normal advice for women to not walk alone at night, walk in a well lighted area, or avoid walking the streets at night seem like the normal advice parents have told their children ever since they were little – seems to have been ignored. So now that this suspected has been caught, are women now going to walk on dark alleys at night…
Challenging your Karate School!
Many of you have watched the Karate Kid or heard about challenge matches Bruce Lee had to endure from the Chinatown Kung Fu masters, and are probably wondering in this day and age – does that ever really happen? Well more than you probably think. The challenges come from other schools, various kind of fighting arts, and what I encountered a lot was fighters creating their own martial art that wanted to test. Before we get started, here is a scene from the karate kid were Mr. Miyagi issued a challenge. At the time the movie, “The Karate Kid” came out – I owned a karate school in El Cajon, California. Funny thing …
Liberty, Equality, Siblingatry!
Even back in the Sixties, when I was a young punk, I noticed that all the local Marxists carried briefcases instead of lunchboxes. The theory that communist revolution would spring from the working classes didn’t pan out at all. On the contrary, it sprang almost exclusively from the nonworking classes, mainly from the elite academic world, with the shock troops recruited from the student body and the welfare recipient bloc.Now, of course, we’re further than ever from that working class idea. The American working class is mostly pretty anti-Marxist and for a long time now has been voting for the Wallaces and Nixons and Reagans, with occasional surges back to the Democrats when they manage to look conservative for a few weeks leading up to…
Updates and random pictures…
This week has been a very light week, my work partner and I got all of our work done on Monday, for the entire week! So this week has been almost a vacation… A couple of weeks ago, PB’s brother and friend came in for a visit, a bit of a surprise visit, that’s fine though, they are fairly low maintenance guests and they helped PB around the sky castle, they even got in on some bridge building.
This is seriously how it works. Anybody object?
I saw you without your seat belt on, so…
Rationalism and Hayek in Conflict: Feminist Theory
What should rationalist and Hayekian libertarians think of feminism—specifically, of the desire of feminists to replace certain existing beliefs and practices they believe are morally bad with novel beliefs and practices that are better? Today, I’ll talk about what feminism is and what it says is wrong with society. Building on the last few columns, I’ll also discuss the Hayekian challenge to feminism’s critique of society’s norms and customs. Next week, I’ll talk about how a feminist might go about trying to change things in a way that’s informed by Hayek’s insights.Sometimes you hear people say feminism just means believing in equality between men and women. That’s a poor definition. Lots of people believe in gender equality of some form …

Assault Packs, Rucks and Sustainment Loads Revisited
I tend to break down these different loads into the fairly well recognized 3 tired system (level 1 survival, level 2 fighting and level 3 sustainment). The primary reason I do this is that due to a lack of common vocabulary different names such as get home bag, assault pack, bug out bag, etc all mean drastically different things to different people. The end result is that unless a common terminology is established we are talking apples, oranges and potatoes instead of apples and apples.The day pack/ assault pack arena really muddles the waters. Personally I bend convention and call them level 2.5 because they do not cleanly fit in either …
Has Peak Oil Newbie “Bought the Farm”?
Dr. K., I only leaned about peak oil about a year ago. I’ve discussed it with my husband and family and at least my daughter and her husband have bought a small farm and are starting to re-calibrate. My husband and I hope against hope to sell our home so we can be near them to help. Is it too late for my husband and i to make changes to compensate, or do you think there’s a chance that we can get there yet, as we’re a little late comers to the news? Thanks Dr. K. Late to the “Party” Hi LthP, I hope you and your family have moved to a farm …
The Peak Shrink on Peak Moments TV: Seeking the Happy Story (part 1) – But What Do You Feel?
Published on May 2, 2013 We live in a culture that wants only the upbeat response, the story with the happy ending. We marginalize people who express anger or grief about the impossible predicament we’re in — societal and ecological collapse. Clinical psychologist Kathy “Peak Shrink” McMahon, uses empathy and humor to encourage people to really feel their emotions about having their worldview shattered. She responds to the myth that technology will save us, explains why politicians won’t talk about the predicament, and supports people to see what’s going on in spite of the cultural denial.

Doom and the Dark Side of Cosmic Fecundity
The Cosmic Dance of Shiva, supreme Hindu god of destruction and creationLike many in the blogosphere, I have expended considerable mental energy in recent years studying and fretting over the various “doomer” scenarios that threaten humanity in the 21st century. There was a time when I found the apparent facts utterly depressing and was convinced that there was no light at the end of the tunnel for mankind – that the future offered nothing but total collapse and devolution. But some time during the past six months or so, and particularly with my recent turn to the “dark side”, I have come to view the doomer issues quite differently. Since making the Dark Energy my ally, I no longer dread the Apocalypse…
The Eternal Specter of Fascism
Since I’ve recently been accused of being a fascist (and not for the first time), I did a little self-reflection and concluded that, yes, I probably am that. And so, I suspect, are you, if you are honest with yourself and possess any degree of self-awareness. Allow me to explain… Ever since adolescence I have been acutely aware that our glorious species is, for the most part, a vast troop of self-deluding monkeys who, despite our overgrown neocortexes, are still largely driven by hundred million year old lizard brain impulses. Perhaps I had an advantage over others in perceiving this fact, in that for medical reasons I did not hit…

US Helping ISIS? One Accidental Airdrop vs Billions in Covert Aid
image sourceTony CartalucciActivist PostThe Washington Post would report that the United States military accidentally dropped by air at least one pallet of weapons and supplies that ended up in the hands of the so-called “Islamic State” or ISIS. While a combination of factors about this particular story appear suspicious, including SITE Intelligence Group’s involvement in quickly disseminating an alleged video of ISIS terrorists rooting through the supplies, one fact remains. While the US claims it has “accidentally” allowed weapons to fall into the hands of ISIS terrorists, in reality, the US has been arming, funding, and aiding ISIS and its terrorist affiliates either directly or through Saudi, Qatari, Jordanian, or Turkish…
Sewing for Sustainability; Making Feudalism Fabulous
Heather CallaghanActivist PostWithout going on a diatribe about the hallmarks of modern “science” – a cult-ure of culturing the public – I would just like to say I’ve read yet another asinine piece pretending to be a study. It is a thinly veiled attempt to influence young people to “do without even less than you have now, and get used to it – embrace it. And by the way, you suck at life.”Read enough studies and you get a clear underlying tone: “You are worthless, you are small, you are the cancer on the earth, do without, don’t even exhale or you might damage the Earth – you should be taxed for that…” and so on. It’s …
19 Very Surprising Facts About The Messed Up State Of The U.S. Economy
Barack Obama and the Federal Reserve are lying to you. The “economic recovery” that we all keep hearing about is mostly just a mirage. The percentage of Americans that are employed has barely budged since the depths of the last recession, the labor force participation rate is at a 36 year low, the overall rate of homeownership is the lowest that it has been in nearly 20 years and approximately 49 percent of all Americans are financially dependent on the government at this point. In a recent article, I shared 12 charts that clearly demonstrate the permanent damage that has been done to our economy over the last …
10 Things About The U.S. News Media That They Do Not Want You To Know
Do you trust the news media? Do you believe that the information that they are giving you is true and accurate? If you answered yes to either of those questions, that places you in a steadily shrinking minority. Yes, on average Americans watch approximately 153 hours of television a month, but for their news they are increasingly turning to alternative sources of information such as this website. Big news channels such as CNN, MSNBC and Fox News are losing hordes of viewers, and they are desperately searching for answers. Things have gotten so bad at CNN that they have been forced to lay off hundreds of workers. The mainstream media is slowly dying, but…
