Pffft.  skepticalscience.com is a joke.  Even their name.  Typical carbon-tax scammers in all ways, and especially in their leaning on censorship to cover for their lack of 'science'.  I find Murry Salby to be much more rigorous and credible.

Down again.

I was just about to get all of the BTC I had with them out of there for other reasons, and now this.

I suspect that they probably are honest and careful in terms of deep storage so if their services have been compromised we'd get most of our funds back.  Eventually.  They probably do have deep pockets and could be sued if need be.  That is one of the main reasons I started using them more than three years ago.

If they have been infiltrated and/or are having massive system errors, it may not be a good time to do any significant transactions.  Data in motion is sometimes data at risk.  That's my personal view of things at any rate.

I wanted to try dog when I was in Beijing, but it was raining to hard to head over to the Korean sector.  Oh well.  Human is much to weird for me.

Ethically I would think that if you got permission from the doner it should be OK.  Perhaps you could find someone who is having a limb amputated?  If it is from one of those gnarly car crashes where someone had their arm hanging out the window, it would be kind of like pre-tenderized.  Maybe filled with gravel though.

Oh, BTW, I bought 'The Climate Hustle' vid.  It was actually pretty good.

I showed it to my fam who are hard-core progressives and have bought the climate scam hook, line, and sinker.  Even they admited that it was pretty good and eye-opening.

CO2 lags temp.  The temp increase took a pause from about 20 years ago and CO2 is catching up.  Nothing especially mysterious about it, and nothing especially scary about 400 parts per million...it's still a trace gas and we are in geological terms at very low concentrations.  In trace concentrations it is easier for large percentage swings to occur.  Plants are much happier now.

Obama delivered plenty.  He just delivered it to entities who I consider my and America's enemies.  He's 'changed' us to a much more divided, dysfunctional, and damaged nation and I am pretty confident at this point that that was exactly the plan.

Clinton --> GW Bush --> Obama was a viscous combination.  If there is one thing that speaks to the the strength and durability of the United States it is how well we've tolerated the the punishment.  I think that we still have a good chance to 'drain the swamp' and recover.  To a degree it will be a function of how well we identify and cooperate with other decent nations around the world who have not yet fallen.  Looks to me as though the likes of Sweden and Germany are simply to far gone and not worth trying to deal with.

There might be an element of validity to this.  In my various travels (India, China, Japan, etc) I really do find that Americans seem more inclined to have some compassion for a stranger in need.

In China it seems that if a truck driver runs over a kid it is not unheard of for him to back up to finish the job because a dead kid costs him less out-of-pocket than a maimed one.  A relatively high status friend of mine from China said 'sure'.  Such a thing is well outside of any standards of normalcy and decency in the U.S. and would be considered flat out evil pretty much universally.

Where we do have a problem is that our leadership who we ostensibly voted in are moving to the extreme evil end of the spectrum and they are doing increasingly horrible things.  The destruction of Syria, for instance, involved some appalling demonstrations of pure evil.

We Americans are guilty of dis-interest and that has been allowing our leadership to do these awful things in our name.  Other nationals would probably be equally guilty in similar situations, but there is really no excuse for it.

Consider that we Americans are probably more highly targeted by bad people both domestic and foreign.  We are simply a more important and more useful nation so there is more reason to try to mold and manipulate us.  We peeps should, by rights, get a little bit of a break because of this.

For a while I was in favor of 'reasonable' measures such as gun owners carrying a bond.  After all, it is not in my interest for dirtbags to be armed either.

Over the last half-decade or so it has become abundantly clear that the Leftists in particular don't give two shits about gun violence and public safety and 'saving the kids' and what-not.  Nope, this is about monopolization of force in the hands of the government.  Period.  Sure, many of the progressive drones are indoctrinated and actually do believe the propaganda, but that doesn't make it valid.

At the end of the day, gun circulation is not really all that big of a problem in the first place, and any realistic programs to 'solve' what problems do exist will simply result in fewer armed good guys and a lot more violence.

I've mentioned it before here, but back in the day when thinking people in the government really did want to address what problems did exist, they implemented a workable solution which worked well.  That is, punish the shit out of criminals who used firearms in the commission of a crime.  If it works, don't fix it.

I went from being 'reasonable' to not wanting to hear another word from these slime.  Not even such things as high capacity magazine limitations.  It's just the camel trying to get more of it's nose in the tent door and is not worth the risk.  The best way to teach these fuckers a lesson about why it's counterproductive to be a sneaky and disingenuous fuck in the U.S. is by rolling back a bunch of the bullshit that is already achieved.  e.g., 'gun free zones' and such.

FWIW, we now see exactly why the big push to castrate the public in a manner which is the direct opposition to what the founders wrote into the 2nd.  As I tap this out we've got a bunch of treasonous globalist scum brainstorming about how they could possibly avoid having the person we voted for take power.  The fact that we are a heavily armed population is throwing a serious monkey-wrench into the gears of some of the otherwise possible mechanisms they might be able to use.  Exactly as the founding fathers planned.

I'll stick around and work against the efforts of dip-shits like you at bringing North Korea to us here in the U.S.

I basically understand how Leftist think because I was closer to that side of the scale for most of my life.  I noticed the brakes smoking and stepped off the train before the terminal incline, and I am watching as the other side puff it's way up the hill to see if it's worth stepping on (AR-15 figuratively in hand) if/when it makes it.  This makes me a particular unpleasant adversary and it's why Leftists are at the top of the Leftist kill list when they take over.  Through it all I've remained a classical Liberal.

The hard-core Leftists want to deprecate private property ownership and move to collective ownership, but they don't/cannot think much beyond that.  The people who animate and empower the Leftist want corporate ownership with individuals renting everything (from them.)  They see the collectivists as useful idiots since the the path to their respective goals starts out the same.

Ultimately one of the 'selling points' of renting from corp/gov will be personal safety and security.  If private individuals and communities can maintain security on their own, this selling point is not as powerful and swaths of property will remain outside of their control.  Worse still, the quality of life will be better in such communities than in the factory-farm style 'human habitats' created for maximum profitability.  No amount of public relations will be able to hide this reality.  I suspect that this is one of the driving forces behind disarming the population.

The same basic principle is currently playing out on a global scale.  The Technocrats working toward a one-world corporate structured government cannot tolerate a functional non-aligned nation state (e.g., Russia or the U.S.) to exist because they will not be able to argue that the life they create for the peeps is the best that is possible.  The grass will look greener on the other side of the fence because it will be.  States like North Korea work around this problem as best they can by making a high fence which cannot be be seen through.

Not common, but it does happen rarely.



I don't see a lot of 'natural meat, milk, vegetables or fruit' kicking around.

I'll keep my 'brain force' unused on the shelf.  My mind is working fine and it looks like it's just a bunch of herbs.  I'm finally selling Bitcoin again after three years and am feeling kind of flush.  I'll keep buying various shit from https://www.Infowars.com to support their great work.  Last time I got some of Alex's dad's toothpaste which I actually like pretty well so I'll be buying more of it...even if Jones Sr. is/was a CIA agent or whatever.

You keep on drinking your fluoridated water and getting your 'vaccinations'.  Big Brother loves you, and he will love you even more as you get progressively more retarded and compliant.

Say it all you like.  It may or may not be true, but what you say about it has no weight at all because you are clearly an ignorant goober.

The CCW, like most, was responsible, level headed, and well trained.  That's why CCWs commit crime as the lowest rate of any group of people (including off-duty police so I've heard.)

The thing about guns is that is the existence of them and not the use of them which is responsible for 99% of the benefit.  That is absolutely the case in my area.

In this mall shooting case the shooter was forced to switch the phase of his operation and focus on his own suicide due to the presence of a CCW.  Or so the story goes.

As for 'Brain Force' I've not tried any yet.  It doesn't seem like they would hurt you any though.  Perhaps you should buy a bottle and try them out?  Might help, but I kind of doubt it to be honest.

Right.  They ran across a CCW which fucked up their show.  That's why almost all future psy-ops were staged at gun-free zones.  Mostly schools.  This also helps tug on the heartstrings of the sheep to see 'young people cut down at the beginning of their lifes' and all that baloney.  When you see footage of a couple of grieving fat women hugging on one another over and over on the nightly news then a few days later the president himself shows up to 'console the grieving community', it's a sure sign of one of these psychological operations.

My 'heart goes out' to the idiots who buy this BS.  Lulz.

Malls in this country consist of hallways with shops off of them.  They don't appear as a stadium.  The halls are also often filled with things which can be used as cover such as furniture, signs, booths, etc.  Also there are a lot of them and they are often severely underutilized and look like ghost ships a lot of the time even during business hours.

Next, there is the apparently little known phenomenon that even the mythical AR-15 does actually require re-loading.  It doesn't spray smart-lead infinitely without ammunition management as in the movies.  The user in this case seems to have fumbled with magazines.

Looks like as the kid was dicking around with ammo when he noticed that a CCW had drawn down on him.  One can presume that he intended to commit suicide from the get-go, and had no interest in being winged by Joe Citizen CCW and taken alive by the cops.  So he completed his 'killing spree' with a count of two down and switched focus to killing himself.

Well, looks like this one was probably a psy-op as well.  I never really looked into it, but it's the same pattern of non-people and/or politically connected and/or actors who came back from the dead.

This was one of the earlier stage renditions.  Perhaps the CCW meeting was an unhappy chance and the drill was terminated early.  Most of these things are staged in 'gun free zones' probably mostly to avoid chance encounters.  Roseburg years later was another instance where most of the 'victims' researched turned out to be un-people.  The Sheriff who was notably pro-2nd said as clearly as he was able that there would be a lot of fed money pouring into the community because of the 'event'.  Lots of the Roseburg witnesses were associated with one of those creepy and recently set up new-age churches.

It was a mall which gets around 10k visitors per day (in my minimal research and familiarity with reality.)  You don't think that everyone who visits a mall in a day group themselves into a human-ball of 10k souls do you?

City dwellers do seem to be becoming pretty deer-in-the-headlights but they still have a the vestiges of a self preservation instinct (which is one of the reasons why there was a CCW in the mix.)  Probably more somewhat together people in the Portland area where there is a tendency toward avoiding medication in the public water supply.  This means that in the real world most people will duck and scatter when they realize that they are under fire.   Again, an AR-15 does not fire smart-bullets so there are functional reasons why a shooter cannot get 100 clean kills with 40 rounds and no non-fatal hits.  When that happens it's a pretty sure sign you are seeing a staged psy-op.

An AR-15 is just another rifle.  I suspect that the idiots who think that an AR-15 some magical power to self-aim and shoot around corners have very limited hands-on experience with firearms and it is crystal clear that their brains have been highly affected by well funded public relations campaigns.

Any somewhat clear-thinking gun-grabber will readily admit that they are starting with 'assault rifles' simply for PR reasons, and intend to move on to everything which compromises the ability of the state to monopolize security.  I expect that most of them have really not thought beyond that and asked themselves 'why?' exactly.

AR-15's 'look scary' which is why they are a useful propaganda tools.  They don't have any magical powers at all.  Indeed, firearms in general are sub-optimal to cause significant casualties in crowded areas relative to other technologies.  The biggest 'problem' with guns is probably that they allow individuals to not need to rely on the state for protection.  This is a bigger issue for people in rural areas where law enforcement is spotty and absent.

This one wasn't covered much...didn't help 'advance the narrative' I suppose.  Might be one of the few which wasn't a staged psy-op even.  Once or twice a year there probably is an genuine organic-ish crack-pot who goes on a rampage.

You snipped the important part:

 - pharma execs == morlock
 - useful idiots == eloi

If you have a well trained horse it will comply with your commands at the reigns and often enough will anticipate your desires on it's own.  Like stop and turn at the end of the row that was just plowed.

If you team a well trained horse with a poorly trained one, the well trained one will sometimes discipline the poorly behaving one on it's own.  Like reach over and bite it when it's doing something which is known by the trained one to be against the wishes of the master.  It doesn't even need to be trained to exhibit this behavior.

I'm not accusing you of being 'on the payroll' per-se.

I am saying that it is a big mistake to assume or take in faith without thinking that things are either 'all good' or 'all bad'.  There is nothing in logic which would preclude some modern medicine from being used for 'good' purposes and others to be used for 'bad' purposes.

Beyond that, 'good' and 'bad' are themselves subjective terms which mean different things to different people.  It can be argued that achieving and maintaining 'sustainable' human population levels is, for all intents and purposes, 'doing God's work'.  I can also be argued 'why not make a dime off doing God's work?'...Especially if one is endowed with a more sophisticated ethical framework than the average bear.
