Hardin, MT: Black Ops Takeover? (Updated)

A little town out near Billings, MT. They were railroaded into approving a huge private prison complex, but they never got any contracts. So somebody made of with lots of loot on a municipal bond issue and the city is on the verge of defaulting. Then along comes a rescue. But the rescue is shrouded [...]

Last One

This is it. I’m not going to chase any more predictions of doom and gloom. From here on out, the only thing I’ll have to say about government will be entirely academic, historical, or real time events as I see them. Speculation I may report from others if it looks really strong, but I’m not [...]

Poke `Em in the Eye

I won’t pretend I can stop the steamroller of oppression, but I look forward to poking the operator in the eye.
I suppose it’s just possible a few states, or perhaps a few scattered enclaves, could mount an effective resistance to the looming police state. They could refuse to cooperate, and probably make it stick. Within [...]

Speculation for Fun and Entertainment

Let’s dream for a moment.
Let’s dream this flu shot noise is not just a trick, but is multiple tricks. On the one hand, it’s a trick to get people in a panic rush — that is, the ordinary koolaid drinkers who watch mainstream news on TV and such. Get them to line up and take [...]

That Was Fun

So playing with the old Pavilion 542x was fun, even educational. In the end, Windows is about the only thing you can run on it and expect the ACPI to work. At all. With Win2K it runs just about as fast as it once did with XP back in 2002 when it was brand new, [...]

Responding to Official Arrogance

What’s it to you?
I’ve written before there is a thread in the Covenant of Noah which permits some armed response to oppression. The point is not so much self-defense, but removing a threat to the community. That assumes you have first already done all you can to build the sense of community which calls for [...]

Flu Vaccine Noise Still Loud

The flu vaccine noise is very high today. On the Establishment side is the continuing hysteria about the so-far wimpy flu threat, along with the calm professional assurance you really need to get that shot. It’s funny how it seems no part of the official media sources even discuss the possibility folks might not want [...]

The Sum of Our Worst Nightmares

First of all, having served in the military, and worked in government bureaucracies at several levels, I have no trouble at all believing the government is loaded with people who would think nothing of killing most of us — right now. Having served as a policeman, I have no trouble believing way too many policemen [...]

Net Gain of Freedom

Now here’s an idea: Autonet. This, along with a few similar projects around the Net these days, is past due, in my estimation.
While the weakest link is probably coming up with autonomous access to the wider global network, I am told by those who know this is not as hard as it sounds. I suppose [...]

Denounce Me — I’m Running Windows

This old HP Pavilion 542x was built from cheap parts. The motherboard alone would tell you that: Trigem Imperial. Yeah, the thing is junk, but it’s been running fine since we bought it new. Well, as fine as WinXP Home is going to run. Even after I doubled the RAM to 512MB, the service packs [...]
