At least there was an active uprising in Libya, as opposed to say, invading a country under falsified pretenses and dragging the entire region into a 15 year long war that wasted trillions of dollars and millions of lives and ultimately accomplished nothing.

Oxygenpoisoning posted:There was a fake news article 5 years ago about 1/3 of the US population being RFID through vaccines. I showed that the college that did the study didn’t exist and that active rfid that could be tracked is substantially to big to ever fit in a syringe. 1/2 of the people talking about it dismissed me outright because they don’t trust the federal government, despite being on active duty, working for the federal government. I've seen people post memes of a Photoshop of a bionic mosquito that supposedly implants tracking devices into people. First of all if the government was able to create technology that advanced it'd be loving amazing...

facialimpediment posted:The Republican should be sailing away with this district by about 10% and instead it's *this* close. This is the election I mentioned earlier where the attack ads against O'Connor were stuff like "he doesn't support the border wall, he thinks ICE should be restructured, he would join hashtag The Resistance" I haven't seen/heard a single ad mentioning Balderson's name, let alone his platform.

gently caress it, just go whole hog and stage a cash truck spilling its contents and then nail all those cretins who go for it. This would probably “work” on people in drat near any neighborhood. Gotta pinch those crims!

Completely unrelated, but I'm listening to "Bring the War Home", a book about the rise of white identity, militia movement, and the far right, and how they rose up together in the white supremacy during since the 70's. It's more of a sociological view, but touches on many aspects I hadn't considered. My main takeaway was hoe loving easy it was to get away with military poo poo back in the day. According to the book, the military did an audit and found they had lost something like 400 (I'm probably remembering the number wrong) tons of material, and had no clue. During the Congressional hearing, the DoD rep said that because of the system (I'm assuming the transition from paper to computer) they didn't know it was lost, because they never knew it existed. One group was caught with something like 14 LAW rocker launchers and a bunch of loving C4 and fragmentation grenades, stolen and purchased from good old Fort Bragg.

Trump is permanently toxic for the college-educated, so their only real move is to go hard on the MS-13 bullshit and all that to turn out non-college-educated white people and hope for the best. The racist ads are definitely going to be something!

IIRC, SF had a huge problem with white supremacists in their ranks during the 1980s. I wonder how many caches of slowly rusting M16A2s are buried around Fort Bragg and Fayetteville.

CMD598 posted:Tokyo/Yokohama aren't worth it anymore imo. All the major combat forces are elsewhere like Okinawa or Iwakuni and the ships in Yokosuka are probably deployed anyway, or already broken. Did the Atsugi squadrons and poo poo finally relocate to Iwakuni? They had just finished building the massive runway expansion and poo poo when I left in 2008, but it was still a runty rear end little base with like 1500 people on the drat thing. Christ I can't even fathom how loving terrible going out in town locally, or even to Hiroshima is if the base got much bigger.

Terrifying Effigies posted:Just got done with the 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Nuclear Attacks Against the United States and it is both darkly comical as well as grim as poo poo. The golf course scene is worth the price of admission alone. Just be sure to have something to take your mind off it afterwards since there's some real darkest timeline stuff in there. Just finished the book, and Jesus Christ, the way he portrays the dysfunction of the White House and administration as a whole due to all the staff being like co-dependent wives in an abusive relationships feels disgustingly real. It seems slightly overplayed in how much his staff coddles him, but the dynamics seem spot on in how an intense crisis evolves into a total disaster.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:This reminds me of the guy that drove off Anaconda with his SAW on the roof of his truck, which it fell off of and was driven over by half a dozen trucks. Last time I saw the numbers a few years back, the per item cost for a SAW was only like $750 or so, and an M-4 was like $500. The optics and lasers are more expensive than the gun they’re attached to.

Yeah, actual rifles are pretty cheap. On the other hand, the metal hand brake on an A-frame used to unspool field Telecom wire was like $700. And a km of fiber was $50k when I was in.
