Random Musings at The End of Life as We Knew It

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

For me, the proverbial glass is either half empty or half full contingent upon where I’m looking. When I watch the news, I get angry. And every day, as I experience the strange surreality of post-America, I have to pinch myself just to make sure I’m not dreaming like Rip Van Winkle waking up in a Tim Burton film.

For my own mental state, therefore, I have to look away at times and step into the brilliant day. It truly is a beautiful time of year. Even so, whilst out in the lush emerald environs, and under the warm sun, it’s hard to shake the sense of doom; as this may be the last good summer.

—-The Stage is Set

Society is wide open here currently and masks, for the most part, have been relegated to the lowly relevance of a bad memory.

It’s a trap, of course, that will likely spring shut this fall and winter. But, in the meantime, the people are celebrating their freedom-via-Big Pharma, and perfectly timed with good weather. It could not have been planned any better. This is because the Covid vaccinations have, apparently, “culturally misappropriated” the power of Vitamin D in the summer sun. Or stated another way: Big Pharma is stealing the immune system’s valor.

And SHAME on the Anti-Vaxxers® who now refuse to abide by the “honor system” of wearing their masks. Through their selfish disdain for others, and outright dishonesty, The Unclean are jeopardizing the lives of the elderly, the morbidly obese, and those with comorbidities, as well putting the societal liberties of the Fully Vaccinated® at risk everywhere.

Can you see what is about to happen?

—-Metaphorical Musings & The Inevitability of Time

In the above photo, the “you” on the beach could be compared to General Custer standing before a wave of angry Native Americans. Or, perhaps the person on the beach might represent the Native Americans… with the wave signifying Manifest Destiny.  Or, some might say the lone figure is a metaphor of mid-twentieth-century European Jewry facing the wave of Hitler’s SS. And others might say the picture portrays the last American patriot staring down the rising tide of globalism global Marxism The Great Reset®.

In my view, however, the lone figure exemplifies those who stand for truth before a wave of global deception that is about to deliver an ocean of consequences. The point, of course, is this: the honest remnant cannot stop what is coming. It is because time and tide wait for no one. Moreover, history has proven how collective madness has always run its due course.

The balkanization of the U.S. is underway and the fault lines are fracturing according to Covid delusions and Cultural Marxism.

In response, it has been interesting to see how red states with conservative governors and Republican legislatures, have taken action to forestall the Marxist wave. Some of the measures have included outlawing proof of vaccination requirements, rolling back mask mandates, giving back federal money in order to stimulate people back to work, enacting voting reform, and, even, passing open-carry legislation.

Certainly, the new political lines of demarcation are now at the state and local levels. Queue the politics of personal destruction paired to the just-in-time delivery of Dominion voting machines to a polling location near you.

Certainly, it is a war of information and a race against time.

—-The Sacrifice of Saint Fauci

It appears the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Anthony Fauci, is being publicly martyred so the public can be informed that Covid is a bioweapon.

Why do the Central Planners want the public to realize this now, at this stage of their plan?

First of all, it will likely increase the vaccination percentages among the hold-outs still sitting on the proverbial fence. After all, many may trust their immune system to fend off a virus from nature… but a bioweapon? That sounds dangerous. And think of how many movies have pre-programmed the public into accepting the narrative of an “accidental” deadly pathogen released from a military lab.

How else might the story of an “accidentally-released” militarized bioweapon benefit those who wish to rule the world?

At some point…. could it be used to demand mandatory vaccination?

Could it be used to politically leverage foreign powers?

Ask yourself if “weapons of mass destruction” has ever been used as a means to drum up public support prior to the bombing of another nation. It all seems so familiar, no?

Very soon, the high-profile flogging of Fauci will become yesterday’s news. Like Trump, his shelf life has expired. And that’s perfectly fine with the Central Planners because the next course is soon to be served.

The Covid bioweapon was made to generate political and economic outcomes. The vaccines are a baptism of sorts into the new theological order. A winnowing process, if you will. And, of course, during such transitions, many people must die.

Note the official start date for the countdown to The Great Reset:  Tuesday, November 3, 2020.

—-Looking Away: Random Musings Typed With Gratitude

Home Sweet Home

The town where I grew up is off the beaten path, a fair distance from the nearest city, and sits nestled among some hills and plateaus surrounding a river. Its downtown intersection divides like a cross between roads going north and south and east and west; with three-story brick buildings spreading out from the center, complete with a courthouse square and clock tower. The courthouse is a large brick building that was constructed before the turn of the century.

I grew up under an endless canopy of trees over ornate street lamps, and within walking distance of the town square. Our neighbors included the county veterinarian, hardware store owner, lumber yard owner, and publisher of the local paper. A little further down the street lived two competing attorneys who lived by the local funeral home.

As far back as I can remember, the distant train whistle would be the last thing I heard before I went to sleep at night. Even from where I live now, I still hear that same lonely sound echoing from the same set of tracks. In fact, were I to hop on one of those trains I’d be back in my hometown in less than a day’s ride.

Today, my hometown is clean and modernized; and it still retains its Camelot-style charm. I feel very fortunate to have grown up there, in the dying glow of Norman Rockwell’s America.  Home is where the heart is; and that special place will forever have my heart.

Voices in my Head

Last October, we had a few warm days in the fading light before late fall and winter. I noticed some wasp activity and, after tracking down the source, I decided to go find my wasp and hornet spray. On that shelf, I saw a can of Deep Wood’s Off (i.e bug spray) that one of my kids took to summer camp long ago. To be sure, this was a pretty aged can of Off because its label featured (in full color) some Caucasians walking in the woods. It actually looked like an amateur watercolor painting right there in front of me.

I began to consider how America was once so blessed and I heard an imaginary conversation occur in my head:

“Hey, Doug, you have a wasp problem? Let me help! Check out this mixture I made for you. The can shoots out over 20 feet, for your protection, and drops them little buggers right on contact.

And you say, you want to protect your offspring from those pesky bugs in the woods? Here is another can I made for you. It doesn’t smell overly bad and it will guard your kids, and save them misery, while they enjoy themselves at camp. Look here, see? I even made a nice little picture for you, right on the can. Isn’t that nice of me?”

Overwhelmed with gratitude, I asked in disbelief: “Who are you?”

It replied: “Just call me Capitalism.”

And when I realized I could NEVER afford to make all that magic stuff by myself , right then, Capitalism said: “Tell you what, just give me a few bucks and we’ll call it even”.

Indeed, Economy of Scale is a blessing. And if some readers don’t fully appreciate it now, they will. Quite soon.

Look Who’s Here

I’m at a graduation party and three of my best friends are there. One I knew since childhood through high school. Another one from college. And another who I met after college: A co-worker who became one of my best drinking buddies early in my career.  I have so many profoundly impactful memories with all of these men, but they barely know each other. And, ironically, each of them knew a different me. Not that my core values are any different, or that my perspectives have changed extensively through the years but, rather, they knew me under varied circumstances and times in my life – so the memories and context are linear for me, but, from my perspective, segmented and segregated for each of them.

Needless to say, it was a strange experience to have these three friends standing in a conversational circle around me. All of them were so involved in my life at different times but without each sharing the full detail and familiar context of my separate days.

It was great to have them all standing there; and if I were to caption the photo of us taken with my phone, these would be the words typed right next to a bright smiley-face: “A fortunate surprise!”

From Beyond the Electronic Horizon

I am also lucky to be acquainted with a small group of online bloggers, readers, and commenters.  You know who you are. I appreciate your thoughts and perspectives on current events as well as any of the daily various topics.  In fact, I find myself thinking of you quite often: while driving, mowing, sometimes before I sleep, and most often when I would least expect to.  I enjoy thinking of you all living your lives in three dimensions and conducting your daily business there.

I’m glad to know you are here.

The Graduates

Sitting in the football stadium of a large university during the college graduation ceremony of my beloved child.  It’s a beautiful day with low humidity and temperatures in the low seventies. Very few masks and an endless sea of smiles.  I’m so proud of you, Kiddo.

—————

A high school graduate who I watched grow up. She wanted a photo wall at her graduation party. Something she could stand in front of with friends and family to have their pictures taken. She texted me something similar which she saw on Etsy or TikTok (I can’t recall) but it had to accommodate large balloons on top, streamers, and be transportable in the back of either a mini-van or SUV.

So I acquired four lighter-duty pallets from a friend who owns a manufacturing concern, hauled them back to my shop, and sliced the tops off two of them.  Then I hinged the shorter cuts to the bottom pallets and installed slide-locks on the sides.  She wanted a rustic look so I figured we could angle the vertical display for stability and tie together the center with twine. In the event the floor might be uneven where it was to be placed, I had some ten-inch 2-by-4 cuts drilled and ready to mount as footers if necessary (I’m glad I did that, too).  And, at the top, I mounted a narrow wood strip for which to secure the streamers and balloons.

Voilà. Stackable. Portable. Compact.

Success. Although I’d definitely build it better, and more efficiently, next time.

Riding With Karen

Still helping out the ancient, long-retired fossils at the school bus barn.  The transportation supervisor asks if I could take a substitute driver and show her a route. No problem. Except she’s a Karen. On the bus, she asks me:  “You’re vaccinated, right?”  When I tell her no, she gives me a pissed-off look, pulls a mask from her purse, and puts it on. I gently tell her that I’m not sick, that we have enough data on Covid now and that there is no evidence of asymptomatic spread. She’s still sort of shaken and I just tell her that I’m very cautious with my health and “it seems like Fauci spins a Wheel of Fortune hidden in his office closet, or something”. And, after a few more quips, she lightens up a little. Turns out she has a Class A CDL and we talk trucking for a while.

Two days later, she sees me from a distance and walks over to chat me up like we’re old friends.  After a few minutes of conversation, I even get her laughing pretty loud. From behind her mask, of course.

Priceless Cargo

It was a pretty chaotic last week of school with the bus routes. It seemed even the transportation supervisor was unclear as to the testing schedules for the advanced math kids from the elementary schools to/from the junior high schools and to/from the junior high locations to the high school.  Anyway, on the second-to-last day of school I found out (in route) that morning that I would NOT be running my junior high kids back from the high school – so I was thinking I wouldn’t see them until, potentially, next year. Not a huge deal, but it would have been nice to have said goodbye.

On every occasion since last fall when I drove the kids, I would drop them off and say (something like) through the bus microphone:  “Don’t forget all your stuff and have a great day” or “Don’t forget all your things and have the best Thursday ever….”

Occasionally, a few of the kids would ask me to tell them a joke and I usually would have one or two simple lines ready… jokes they could tell their grandparents later if they wanted, like:  “What do you call a girl standing in the middle of a tennis court?  Annette.”  Laughter ensues.

Stuff like that.  Perhaps, for these reasons, some of the kids would call me the “good” bus driver.

Regardless, around mid-morning on that (second-to-last) day, as I pulled up to wait for some elementary math kids to come out from the junior high, the bus in front of me was letting out all of “my” math kids from the high school (because of the different schedules that day due to finals tests). So the 15 or so students get off the other bus and, as they were walking into the junior high, all at once, every single one of them stopped and waved at me with big smiles. It was a moment; and, for me, a pretty darn moving one at that.

As I waved back through the windshield, I realized I was only half-smiling. I found myself wistfully wishing those kids could have the same amount of time I had in front of me when I was their age. But they won’t. Not even close. Still, they stood there…waving. And smiling.

—————

I’m looking at a greeting card from a third-grade boy. He gave it to me on the last day of school just before he got off the bus to begin his summer.  The card showed a portable fan on the front along with the words “Blown Away”.  When I opened it up, it said on the inside: “No, really – I’m a big fan.  Thank You!”

At the bottom of the inside of the card the boy wrote in barely legible penmanship:

Thank you for all you do to keep me and everyone else on the bus safe.”

In the space to the left, there was a note from the boy’s parents.  It said:

[name redacted] saw this card and said: “oh yeah, he’ll appreciate this one” 🙂

We hope you know how fond he is of you. He tells us how long you and your wife have been married and about your anniversary and what you went to college for! You made this strange and difficult year more bearable and actually enjoyable for him and we are so thankful to you!

Still Here, Right Back Where We Started

Now in the college town where I first met my soon-to-be wife over three decades ago.  Walking around the beautiful campus, we see lush green grass and brilliant flowers blooming all around. School just got out for summer, so no one else is here. Standing by a memorial overlooking the center campus and campanile, we look up to see what appears to be the fragment of a rainbow. This was very strange because it hadn’t rained at all that day.  I’d say it was a sun dog, except it was in the sky opposite of the setting sun.  I hoist her up so she’s standing on a concrete bench above me. I wrap my arms around her waist as she looks down at me and smiles. I remember our times here over 30 years ago and I am so glad she’s still with me, here in my arms. I love her now more than ever.

So much better than I expected. And more than I deserved.

“The vaccines are a …. winnowing process, if you will. And, of course, during such transitions, many people must die.”

If their intent was winnowing, they failed miserably, no?

— The number of people who died from the Shit Shot, while large (about 7k ?), is a tiny percentage (well under 1%) of total shots given. Total fail.

— But, that’s not the worst part, which is … the total randomness of who dies. Rich, poor, black, white, young, old, laborers, scientists … no discrimination whatsoever. Who the hell designs a Killer Vax like that?? The theory would make a lot more sense if it targeted those they considered undesirable, such as Trump supporters or people name Uncola. 🙂

— Don’t They need to eat? What if the Shit Shot kills so many farmers and truck drivers that food and/or delivery is no longer possible? What if it kills THEIR key people? What if it kills so many miners that that essential earth resources can no longer be mined? On and on with many other professions.

I’m sure They want to kill us … at least a certain type of us … Deplorables and all that. But, the way they are going about it — IF that’s what They are doing — makes zero sense to me.

maybe its the other way around…….
they know that the vac/shit shot won’t be taken by a a certain type of us,
maybe there is something in it that will keep the sheep alive from some other bio-weapon that they will release later.

piearesquared

Anon, you could be right. I have wondered about that myself. But my gut feeling is that those who take the vaccines are the ones who have been targeted. But the effects (death, sterilization, and other detrimental effects) will be mostly delayed, possibly triggered by an actual bioweapon (unlike SARS-CoV-2 which doesn’t even exist), or a subsequent shot, or 5G, or a simple time delay, or something else. Also, there are several different vaccines. At least one of them is just a placebo for photo ops for those in the know.

Uncola

Yo Stuck,

You wrote above

If their intent was winnowing, they failed miserably, no?

Actually, I would say the winnowing process has been wildly successful. The separation process of dividing the sheep from the goats, that is. And the divisions have occurred politically, economically, and even, perhaps, spiritually, if one considers the embrace of Covid mandates as deriving from faith..

I would also claim 1% equates to “many” people who were sacrificed in the transition… so far. There are many medical experts who believe the mRNA drugs have no shut off valve, per se, in creating the spike proteins and these same experts believe the spike proteins are de facto pathogens that will wreak havoc on millions of immune systems for years to come.

What if, by chance, the authorities and media then blame any increase in sickness and death on the Anti-vaxxers who refused to play ball, thus allowing mutations to override the good intentions of US.gov & Big Pharma?

Could that happen? Perhaps we will find out soon. Like I said, the stage is set

Uncola: Your post was one of the most beautiful (and crushing) things I’ve read in a while. Thank you. Regarding the blaming of “anti-vaxxers” (pro-choicers) for making things worse, it’s easy to counter that argument: If the vax doesn’t protect recipients from variants, why should the unvaxxed be criticized for not taking the same shot, which won’t protect them either? Another rebuttal would be to tally who actually suffers from variants and who does not. If it’s mostly vaxxed folks (and it likely will be), that says a lot.

Not that logical arguments carry much weight anymore, but they should be used regardless, when the time comes.

Uncola

Thank you, John. I really appreciate your kind sentiments and astute perspectives. I admit those thoughts have crossed my mind as well. In fact, as I was reading your comment I was thinking you were being a little too logical – then I read your last paragraph and I agreed with your conclusion.

However, that said, I wouldn’t be surprised if the argument is made that the variants would have been blocked by herd immunity, but the opportunity has been lost because of the reluctance of the selfish Anti-vaxxers who refused to follow the science.

I also don’t think we should underestimate the gullibility of the public OR the power of the power of the Orwellian Media. After all, look where we are. Ya know?

Conversions might come after finding out about the death sentence received for believing in govt. Here is where white supremacist mass murderers just might might originate once their bleak diagnosis arrives.

James the Wanderer

So far the sanest suggestion is that the vaccine IS the weapon, whether it’s because
(a) The poor dears didn’t realize the spike proteins themselves were TOXIC, they were picked because they would make your immune system sit up and NOTICE the injection, prompting a stronger immune response, or (b) they knew damn well the NEXT respiratory virus you encounter would trigger an overwhelming immune response (“cytokine storm” ) strong enough to kill you; just in case, the chemical SM-102 was included to sterilize you, at least you wouldn’t be able to reproduce more cattle to complicate their takeover of the Earth.
If (a) is true they should be incarcerated to prevent further accidental damages, if (b) their executions (along with their sponsors, financiers, supporters and anyone else involved) should be slow, painful and publicized.

The kill shot to the fully vaccinated could be either covid “mutations” via Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) or any via single round of the boosters at will. And this is only because a healthy human immune system is hard to kill

NickelthroweR

I am highly suspicious of the vaccine and believe one of two things must be true.

1. The vaccine itself is the weapon. You can’t just release a dangerous virus into the wild because it might kill the elites as well. Consequently, you must terrorize the population so that they’ll run out and have themselves injected with poison.

2. Something horrific gets released in the fall and murders everyone not vaccinated.

In the first scenario, I am fine because I didn’t run out and inject myself with poison. In the 2nd scenario, should I notice that everyone not vaccinated is dropping dead then I’ll go get vaccinated. I’m healthy enough that I’ll see it first in other demographics so I’ll have time.

Not being vaccinated is the logical choice.

@ NickelthroweR:

The problem with using biological and chemical weapons in wars of the past is their non-specificity. If you release mustard gas into a prevailing Easterly wind to waft it over the enemy trenches, then the wind changes and instead it is your mates rushing for their gas masks and/or being cut-down. Release a pathogen into the wild – say from the air – upon an enemy population, and watch as it ends up infecting as many of your friends as your enemies. The Japanese learned that lesson in China in WWII, in fact.

This problem is one reason for interest in so called “gain of function” research, which would supply viruses with the autonomous ability to mutate into strains of greater lethality, upon exposure to certain chemical signals or environmental cues.

I am no longer qualified to state categorically (I was once a biochemist and working life scientist) the precise nature of such findings, but I can state with certainty that some pretty powerful actors want pathogens so modified, such as the government of communist China.

Yes, that’s what I’ve pondered on, too.

Every Communist Utopia is bedeviled by the ‘awkward squad’. the non-believers who reject the Message. These are the people who have to be winnowed out for disposal. It’s a tiresome and ugly process.

All of us ‘potential troublemakers’ have identified ourselves, by the simple process of refusing to comply with this minor tyranny.

As you allude, a new pathogen could be released, which targets only those who have NOT been vaccinated. In this way, the potential troublemakers are swiftly eliminated without the taint of Genocide.

After all, they died because they were too stubborn to take the Covid Vax, and they fell victim to the latest Variant. Who could prove otherwise?

Those who remain are the compliant ones, obedient and malleable. It’s kinda like selective breeding, where the aim is to produce livestock which are biddable.

The goal is to kill as many as possible by 2025. Their goal for the USA by 2025 is 100 million based on the deagle report that has been sanitized now. That means their goal is 235 million gone in the USA by 2025. Just a side note, Biden’s goal of 70% “vaccinated” If all those vaccinated were to die by 2025 our population left, would be at about 100 million, I looked that up too. They will be more specific after that! Their ultimate goal for the planet is 500,000,000. They have 7 billion they need to be gone by 2030? I don’t know their target date, but they have a lot of deaths that need to happen! I looked it up 500 million, is was the world’s population was in the year 1600.

That anybody has died from the experimental shot is unconscionable. Percentages are meaningless when something is intentionally being done to others and is harming thousands. Over 15 thousand in Europe and America have died from the shots. Hundreds of thousands have been damaged by the shots, this is criminal beyond the pale.

Re: “That anybody has died from the experimental shot is unconscionable. Percentages are meaningless when something is intentionally being done to others and is harming thousands. ”

I couldn’t agree more. It is germane to note that the victorious Allied powers charged, tried and convicted hundreds of senior Japanese and German military officers and political officials in the wake of WWII for crimes against humanity. Among the individuals charged/convicted were those guilty of conducting gruesome medical and scientific experiments upon civilians and POWs. Those judged guilty were either executed via firing squad or hanging, or received long prison terms, for their actions and atrocities committed. The justice meted out for these crimes ought to be no less swift, certain and definitive.

Nuremberg was only possible because there was a defeated villain to prosecute. Who is in a position to take down and prosecute those who are at the top of the power pyramid?

Yes, when someone murders someone else or a bunch of people, you don’t say “Well, he killed 20% of his family” or “He killed .001% of his community”. Pick the right frame of reference and you trivialize the act to nothingness. When it comes to deaths like what we have seen it makes sense to count the bodies. As in “5000 counts of murder”. Puts a face on it.

Re: “I’m sure They want to kill us … at least a certain type of us … Deplorables and all that. But, the way they are going about it — IF that’s what They are doing — makes zero sense to me.”

The scuttlebutt, for what it is worth, is that the billionaire globalists and their associates got caught off-guard by how well the covid-19 scam worked initially, and consequently, they weren’t ready with the subsequent stages of their operation. This is what is behind the endless lockdowns, the protracted drama about “vaccines” and so much of the rest of it. They got behind the curve and wanted desperately to catch up, as their collective masks as benevolent saviors of humanity had slipped badly and revealed the ugly truth underneath.

He literally has little survival stashes in PVC pipe camouflaged in trees. He’s showed us where a couple are, protecting his neighbors too. (that’s us… it is good to be good neighbors with a good neighbor.)

Anyway, I have two bricks (550 bullets each) of ammo for my little 22 rifle that holds twelve bullets. It’s my weapon of choice against raccoons and opossums.

A .22LR can also kill larger animals, if your shot placement is accurate.
A .22 is an effective round for laying down suppressive fire by a novice while a more experienced hunter can zero in on the target with a more capable round.
A .22 is easy to carry around and a brick does not weigh that much. With a suppressor, it is almost as quiet as an air rifle.

BTW – opossums are very beneficial animals to have around to take care of pests, especially ticks.

Yes, but they are also quite dangerous to chickens and little lost bunnies.

10 for 10 into an orange at 50 metres with my 10/22
.22 can kill A LOT bigger game
only problem is misfires/hangfires and jams
much more common than .357 or .45
cheap bricks are the worst

An orange at 50 yards? And bragging about it? That is some pitiful shooting right there. An orange would be around 8 MOA at 50 yards. A decent gun and operator should be able to hit a small cherry 10/10 at that range. No kidding.

TS

I use a Marlin .22 w/ a cheap 4×32 Tasco. It’s set for 200 yds. I occasionally miss, but I pretty much pop sage rats (ground squirrels) in the head at that distance every time.
.22s are a lot more accurate and deadly than most people give them credit for.
As for my -06, it’s set for 200 and I routinely take out badgers and coyotes at 400 or better. Over the years I’ve put down lots of big game at long range. Killed an elk once at just over 700 yds, with open sights. Lung shot.
One idiot once told my uncle that a .30-.30 was useless at anything over 100 yds, that he could catch the bullet. My uncle told him to go out to 200, and catch one. Smart-ass declined.
Have to know your weapon.

Dead Eye Dick
Dead Eye Dick

Calling bull on hitting squirrel in the head pretty much every time at 200 yards with a .22. The drop at that range is over 1/2 a yard. So if you are out more than a couple of yards on your sight in versus your actual, or your hold over/under estimates, you are not hitting a squirrel in the pretty much every time. To hit a squirrel head, which would be under a MOA at 200 yards, with a bullet dropping almost vertically, without knowing exact distances, without zero wind, well, it just is not happening.

Liked the post, but that is a bit of exaggeration right there.

TS

I’ll explain once; this is true and done almost daily. If it’s that important to you, spend the money and time and come on out for an exhibition. I’ll get a few of my friends/family who shoot just like that. I’ll get ahold of my friend Tim –

http://www.no-off-season.com/contact-us.html

who routinely turns these rats into ‘red mist’ at 1000+ yds, with his Lapua. He hosts lots of folks a lot better than me.

Any time, just come friendly.

Dead Eye Dick
Dead Eye Dick

No one anywhere shoots under MOA at a variable distance target with a 22 at 200 yards “pretty much every time”. It is simply not possible owing to the drop of 1/2 “ per yard. To do it you have to know to the yard the distance, and you have to guess the hold over/under at a bullet dropping like a rock. If your guess of distance is off by 2 yards, you simply cannot hit a 1 MOA target at that range, because of the severe drop. And that is ignoring any wind effect.

Can they do it sometimes? Sure. But pretty much every time? Not hardly.

I am always friendly, BTW. But been shooting all my life, and I know what can and cannot be done.

Re the 1000 yards with a Lapua on a target say 10 inches by 2 inches, you are talking 0.2 MOA. Again, depends on what you mean by “routinely”. Given that the Lapua is capable of 0.35 to 0.5 MOA, what that means is that sometimes that shot will hit. But routinely? Depends on that definition. The rifle itself is not that accurate. The rifle is capable of 3.5 to 5 inch spread at 1000 yards, all else neutral. And it again depends on knowing the exact range. The .338 is dropping more than 1/2” in a yard at 1000 yards. So, again, if the estimate of yards is off by more than 2 or 3, the shot cannot be made reliably.

Those are all shooting facts that can be looked up by anyone.

TS

I’ll backtrack just a hair, but not about getting these shots.
I don’t mean that I shoot every rat in the head. But occasionally I’ll take one out with a head shot. I seldom miss.
Those people, if you’d bothered to check the website out, are using .17s, .243s, 6.5s. Some of these rifles are worth$ 15 to $20K. There’s lots of videos out there showing these shots.
Let me really push your knowledge; I’m coming up on 65. I was shooting sage rats with my grandfather’s J. C. Higgins model 31, open sights, when I was 5 or 6. I still have it. I missed quite a few for awhile but we were shooting upwards of 100 yds even then. I was shooting jackrabbits running at over 50 yds with a Ruger .22 Single Six, back when I was 14 or so. Usually hit them, too. I’ve popped coyotes at 300 and 400 yds with an open-sight Savage Supersporter .30-06, when I was in my mid-teens. Personally, I thought it was harder to kill that elk at 700 yds (3 shots) with that -06 than a rat at 200 yds with a .22.
My cousins and I were killing upwards of 1000 jacks a day when we were that age. A couple days later we sneaked in to the same place and shot the coyotes, eating the dead rabbits, in the ear (usually) to get a better price on the hides. With .22s, usually at over a 100 yds.
My first legal buck was with an 1895 .303 Savage ( not to be confused with a .303 British). I still have it, too. The buck was just under 200 yds away, on a rim that was about 20 yds higher from me. That .303 was a pumpkin slinger, but I’d put about 3 or 4,000 rds through it by then. I hit that buck in the neck, first shot.
I’ve been shooting this Marlin for over 40 yrs, and it’s almost like an extension. I’ve had certain training that taught me to envision a rod out of the barrel that follows the trajectory of the bullet. That’s why a lot of the old (maybe they still do) undercovers and Intelligence people used .25 pistols, and were accurate out to substantial distances.
I shot a melon-sized target at 989 yds with a built Winchester 700 Mag. One shot. My personal best.

I know the charts, I know what all the diagrams and reload specs are, I know the tech side. But there’s paper and then there’s putting lead where you want it.

There’s no sense beating this dialogue to death; I doubt if I’ll convince you and I really don’t care if you believe me or not. So have a good night.

Rarely a day goes by that I don’t feel tears well up in my eyes. I have known for years that this was coming but it came so very fast. It was not that I took it for granted. But how can one not feel sorrow for the dream that was lost?

None of this means I am not willing to fight. I am. I do, whether financially, in prayer, talking to people, communicating with our senators and representatives. But the rot is deep. Nothing other than a miracle will turn this around before we pass through the fire. The waste. That is what is hardest for me to bear. The utter waste.

I believe all of us, those that appreciate the simple, good things of life, will hold on to our own opportunities to see, and observe those little things in our own lives. To maintain our sanity, and our peace of mind, in a world gone crazy, it is important, no imperative, we each, in our own special way, disconnect from the Matrix on a daily basis. It is impossible to escape what is coming, no matter where you live but, we each have the opportunity to find our own way of reflecting light to those around us, and not add more darkness, in a world that is growing colder, and darker, by the day.

There is still goodness and good people out there. You illustrated it well, Doug.

Nice, Unc, nice.
The future we are all seeing/sensing is becoming so monochromatic in its portending that the eye is naturally drawn to the vibrant colors of our memories, and the coulda/shoulda/woulda-been of our lives – most of us, anyway – pre reality-check, which is at a different point of time for everyone.
I still have the occasional disgruntled general anger at the completely incomprehensible blindness and idiocy that swells all around us, perfectly shown by your tidal wave. But – which is a personal blessing and I know it – my day has far more beauty and simple pleasures than angst. For my emotional, mental and even physical health, I had to shed that frustration and sorrow long ago.
One telling point; you treated the ‘Karen’ not in a way that would be momentarily satisfying, but as who you are. That, to me, is the key. We do what we do, not because of who or what is in front of us, but because of who and what we are.
That, in the final analysis, is all that really matters.

Sad that we now find ourselves in the same predicament. I am not sure we will be as successful as they were in the re-colorization of their world…

I was in some of the Soviet countries in the late 70s. As you wrote, it was such a heavy ‘grayness’ that over-shadowed everything. Moscow had a few bright spots, but they seemed contrived and only served to highlight the overall drabness and subdued/sullen attitudes.

Promising start. I can relate, but then:

The balkanization of the U.S. is underway and the fault lines are fracturing according to Covid delusions and Cultural Marxism.

You wish. The Roman Empire had many civil wars. Caesar’s rule from the first triumvirate was just one patchwork to hold it all together. More war and the second triumvirate. More war and Augustus. Revolt of the Jews. Crisis of the Third Century and reunification under Aurelian. Reunification under Constantine. Transitory, partial reunification under Justinian I with General Belisarius. We are impotent. The perversion by inversion means finally that the chief officials are the tail waging the dog that is the thugs, who can do what they damn well please once they ‘go there’. When it goes, it will really go.

Next paragraph:

In response, it has been interesting to see how red states with conservative governors and Republican legislatures, have taken action to forestall the Marxist wave. Some of the measures have included outlawing proof of vaccination requirements, rolling back mask mandates, giving back federal money in order to stimulate people back to work, enacting voting reform, and, even, passing open-carry legislation.

Conserving the status quo is conserving the enemy. Where is the mere interest in imposition of ourselves and our traditions on our land for us? Where is the earthly us?!

I want you to know that i did not rain on your parade of Jesus/St. Paul love on the above comment branch. I know you think everyone must think like you, but I think on some level you are narrative crazy, which is evolutionarily adaptive in some cases. I have tried to believe during my most formative years. It is delusional pain to me. Yes, it does need to be a hell. Those who are philosophers at heart, who self-identify based on evidence, who are rational, we have been around since 500 B.C. I don’t think I am the only one, but I’ve never meet an adult I could natively relate with. You, on the other hand, are common. You can be native and be accepted by many in absolute numbers if not in relative percentage. That’s just the way it is. We can talk past each for eternity and nothing would change. Peace be with you. I take with me what peace I can. You peace is absurdity to me. If George Carlin cannot explain it to you, neither can I. I don’t believe in Jewish propaganda, and there are so many well-established strains.

..might want to expand your horizons a bit, Doug… you can’t “try” to believe – you can realize that belief comes by faith, then accept it… that’s kinda why they call it faith…we live in a sin-cursed world; I don’t know why God chose to do it that way, and frankly I don’t much care for a world like this myself, and while there is lots of pain in it, there’s nothing delusional about God not giving us rainbows and lollipops every day. Hey, if it was up to me, I never would have included the free will thing in with the creation of men and angels, but then again, I don’t have the mind of God..and neither do you, so I guess we’re stuck with what we have. In the mean time, consider – God gives peace that passes all understanding and there is nothing rational about it – nothing rational about peace, grace, mercy…I don’t want to get into a pissing contest with you, but I’ve had and still have, some really rotten stuff in life that has pretty much knocked any joy or happiness out of my soul for a long, long time; and even though God is sovereignly responsible for all this, I know after all is said and done, he has my back..and all I have to do is believe…

Touching emotionally but I like where my mind is intellectually. It would cause me incredible anguish to wear the narrative you wear. I wish you happiness and health. I can relate to the earthly nooks of what you said.

Once you break thru that anguish wall, Doug, there is peace – even in the midst of all the crap you and I are in…I grew up in the evolutionary mold, an atheist, then moved to agnosticism, after realizing how difficult it is, as an atheist, to prove a negative (i.e., God doesn’t exist), and finally after 7 years of arguing with a God that I still wasn’t sure existed, I asked Him (challenged Him, more accurately) to make things clear to me. He did. I became a Christian. -And it wasn’t really emotional, more logical assessment than anything. Life still stinks, but that transcendent peace buoys me thru the crap, even when it gets exceptionally deep and turbulent. Thank you for the wish of happiness and health, two things in short supply at the moment. I likewise will wish you that, and more so that eternal peace, that comes only thru Christ. Take care Doug.

I’ve had a similar notion. I like that you thought and articulated that. It’s a lot like not taking the enemy’s vocabulary. In PUA terms, have your own (social) frame, but that is a seismic correction. If only the masses might do that. If only the white Christian men might do that.

When you mentioned about the kids not having as many years ahead of them as we did at their age… it brought back thoughts I’ve often had about children I see in stores, church, in playgrounds, etc.

Even women with their babies. I think about how short their lives are going to be and how little time we have left. When I see a pregnant woman I think to myself… what is she thinking?? Who in their right mind, that has half a clue as to what’s going on, would bring a child into the world at this time?? I feel so bad for them as that child will know nothing but hardship and deprivation as we move into our country’s, and our, final hours.

Unc- Would it be amazing to find that when TSHTF, by some divine intervention, Americans burn down the bastions of banking and corporate capitalism? Leveling the mega-branded outlets of the Fortune 500. France went straight for the banks when the riots broke out, then the rioters moved on to burn down the tax offices. Not to forget that the French also had their way with the high dollar retail outlets of the wealthy.
They can’t have it both ways and the bail outs would be for naught if there were no plan to save corporate/banking for after the storm. Which will it be, Marxist non-ownership or capitalist free market ownership. This is a contradiction.

Why kill off your customers with vaccines? Why spend fortunes to develop technology to make consumerism faster, easier, better? Why turn every old pile of ruins into a UN protected tourist site? If the future is so bleak, why bother?
It has been said that the revolution/reset will happen over a weekend, sounds about right for me. Ghettos will continue to burn, that is how TPTB get that real estate clear for new development after an area’s life cycle has completed. Hood rats play the game because they are too dumb to know for whom they are really working.

I recall one of the paragraphs in this article was a reply to me in a thread a few days ago. When this is all said and done, life will be different but not over. Life is VERY different than one hundred years ago and the 1920’s were VERY different than one hundred years prior. So yeah, I too like to sniff the roses and bask in the sunshine and even create my own reality apart from the cartoon, clown world. That is called normal human behavior. 🙂

Thanks for the comment, B.

You ask:

Why kill off your customers with vaccines?

And that’s a good question, but what if was a mere matter of global downsizing?

It could be that simple and, to the elite, it makes a lot of sense. To them, it’s likely not personal. It’s just time

Unc- I could agree, if you think genocide is an ok hobby. It’s a looooong way between 7 BILLION and a mere 500 MILLION if the guide stones are the end game. It’s not personal if we burn down their shit either….right? Who died and made them god?

Let’s just say that “they” better have a really GOOD hiding place.

For the last couple of days I’ve been telling the tween at the drive-up window, as they are giving me my change, “thanks for coming in” or maybe add “to work”.

You should have seen the reactions so far. You c a n tell these kids are busting their ass because half of the people they know are on cruise.

I find it fascinating about nostalgia for an old America that never was during my lifetime that started in 1964. Many industries were already fading in the mid-Ohio Valley by that time and everywhere else for that matter. Racial politics started in 1964, so all of that up to the Wokesters of today has been going on for 57 years. The Federal Government started telling companies how to build their products back around 1965, explaining why no car made in the 70’s ever ran right, and today they can’t build them because the computer chips they have to have to meet Government requirements aren’t available due to outsourcing.
The outsourcing is another matter. It started with shoes, then electronics, watches, and cameras, then went to toys, motor vehicles, steel, then furniture, now everything. It didn’t start in 1989, for it was already going strong in the early 1950’s. Now we have entire swaths of America immersed in poverty, but no one really cares about it. They soon will care once the shelves go empty, and they can’t get the medicines they take now to survive.
The corruption that started all of this more than 57 years ago was hidden, yet still there. Nowadays they don’t even hide it, but who cares? Does it really matter anymore?
The fake wars that were called fake for the reasons they were started, but still killed lots of young American men, were going on back in 1950 and are still going on.
Why does anyone reminiscence about the America they remember? This whole creation called America is undergoing a very real imperial collapse right now. I think that there may be hope for the future, but it won’t be built on anything related to what we call old America. Why should anyone miss an America that never really was?

“…an America that never really was…”

I first came across that sentiment about 25 years ago and it has only grown in it’s ubiquity.

Of course that America was, most of us here recall it vividly.

There are high water marks in all things. And there are declines- some people are unfortunate enough to encounter both in a single lifetime, or lucky enough if they behave accordingly.

It’s an imperfect world HF. No time in history was ever perfect but America was/is not that bad compared to the rest of the world and during past history. I think you live a pretty darn nice life here in Merika. You want perfect? Where is that? In what universe? I have more material wealth than I dreamed as a young person, and I know you do also as do many here. 🙂

Just to want to thank everyone for the comments. I have appreciated them very much. I also noticed the word “eulogy” has repeatedly appeared on this thread.

Definition of eulogy

1 : a commendatory oration or writing especially in honor of one deceased she delivered the eulogy at his funeral

2 : high praise

I guess I didn’t think about it while typing this piece, but maybe so: For life as we knew it, perhaps.

“And SHAME on the Anti-Vaxxers® who now refuse to abide by the “honor system” of wearing their masks. Through their selfish disdain for others, and outright dishonesty, The Unclean are jeopardizing the lives of the elderly, the morbidly obese, and those with comorbidities, as well putting the societal liberties of the Fully Vaccinated® at risk everywhere.”

Guilty as charged! And I will continue to get away with it because so many people that have been jabbed continue to wear their #MaskOfOppression because they just can’t help themselves. So far, no one has challenged me for a jab card. If they do, I will tell them that is private information and then ask them if they have HIV, tuberculosis, genital warts, an STD, Hepatitis A, B, or C, Black Plague, Ebola, Leprosy, etc.

You’re so vain….
We all are lead to believe that there is life after this short-term journey.
What would the value of Life be if all realized that this is it….70 years, +/- 10%??

Life is so precious as we all know from our experience here on earth. Inexplicably amazing and entertaining.
But this life is certainly an anomaly among the vastness of this universe.

All Life must be treasured and respected above all else. Our survival depends on it. But i have doubts whether the human race will survive. Maybe , maybe not.

The diversity on this site is remarkable.

Indeed. I suppose free speech does that. Ya know?

On PC systems, if one types Control (key) “F” a search box opens (or on cell phones, via the tab menu/3 dots “search in page”).

So, just now, I did so and typed “June 10” to see any new comments since midnight and I noticed some great perspectives from at least two monikers I’ve never seen here before.

Pretty cool.

On another note, I’m placing this link below onto this thread for posterity purposes (primarily because I often revisit the comment section to seek seeds from which to plant future posts):

Doug – loved the last part about you and your wife of 30 years ..congrats for what has become an uncommon achievement anymore.
My wife and I just celebrated our 40th and have never loved each other more deeply. She prefers not not to think much about what is happening or what is coming, choosing instead to focus on our grown kids and grandchildren – and that’s fine with me. It’s a small gift I am glad to let her have.
And while I have prepared for the hell that I have known for years is on it’s way, I choose to spend whatever limited remaining time we have together (I have a terminal disease) just enjoying what’s left of normal life while it remains. 
Alll the best to you.

So Uncola what have you learned from your tour of life in this incarnation? Each generation has it’s group of spirits that incarnate in these mammon bodies for our adventure in the material realm or as quantum physics suggest the particle world that can be observed trough the mammon eye. Our group is coming to the end of it’s allotted time so is it any wonder that our creation with the particles is ending also and going back into wave form energy to be used by the next generation of spirits to experience tis realm?

Our first task in these bodies is to produce more of these bodies. It is no accident that our bodies at the age of 12 start producing the urges and hormones for this task. When tis task is complete we are free to develop that seed in us called the soul.

So don’t be dismayed that this world appears to be crumbling and leading to disorder. Order always comes out of disorder. We live in a changing world. Our time and our creations are at an end. It is time for the next generation of spirits to have their time.

Always enjoy reading your articles.

This journal entry with real time dystopian imagery is more titillating than fictional accounts of the same genre.
