"Phones On Sale" - The Stampede Begins

When Darwin conceived his theory of Natural Selection, he hardly had this in mind, but if it succeeds in eliminating the "less than viable", well... so be it.

Fake illusion of materialism was always part of the Globalist/bankster/technocrates plans. They're "banking" on peoples self-deprication of themselves and you know what? They're right. The sheep have such a low self esteem about themselves that they need material things to boost their moral and feel good about themselves.

They suffer from Stockholm syndrome. It's why they enjoy and accept their own Police State, bondage and enslavement.

If they were hungry, there would be gunfire, knifes and other assorted pointy objects.  It would be a bloodbath.  And after the stores are stripped clean, if some sort of organized force does not ring fence the hordes of morons flooding out of the cities and overpopulated suburbs, groups of these cannibals will pulling this trick door to door.  Wave after wave of desperate people who never saw it coming and the only survival skills they have were learned from the XBOX and a lifetime of media exposure to senseless acts of violence.  For many, couple this with a sense of entitlement (oppression if you are black) and you've got a recipe for some serious ugliness.  I can only hope those 1.6 billion rounds of DHS ammo are for the right reasons.

Fri, 11/23/2012 - 11:18 | 3006297 TBT or not TBT
TBT or not TBT's picture

XBOX guns have no recoil, no weight, no maintenance requirements, no cost or weight of ammo, and no knowledge of actual guns required.    As Han Sol pointed out, simulations and drones are one thing, the flesh is something else entirely.    On the other hand I don't recommend "Reaching out with your feelings" either, as survival advice, so maybe scratch ALL the entertainment industry wisdom.   Don't even depend on range time either.   Paper targets don't move much, and don't shoot back.    In real gun fights no one is in a perfect weaver two handed stance, squared away out in the open, hitting their target every time.

Fri, 11/23/2012 - 11:34 | 3006361 NidStyles
NidStyles's picture

Those stances are just to teach and have a principle of accurate fire to go by. Even in the Army they teach it similarly in the basic stage, and depending on your actual job and unit mission you learn how to actually properly apply those basic in more depth and variety. Shooting doesn't change much when it's back and forth as opposed to just forth at paper, what changes is your body's ability to apply the principles effectively.

We used shoot houses with live ammo, paintball, and battle march scenarios to take the edge off the "holy shit" factor of having live rounds coming at you. You do it enough when the real thing happens you don't even notice, because you're focused on what you are doing, and the training takes over your automated responses.The scary dudes are the ones that are calm the first time they enter a live two-way range situation. Those are the guys that can just shut everything out and get shit done.

xtop23's picture

Agreed. The scary guys aren't the ones that talk. It's the ones that don't. 

As a caveat, many of those standard squared-up stances are not only to minimize muzzle drift for follow up shots but to maximize how effectively you use your armor.

Problem is if you're depending on your armor to that extent you're doing something wrong.

The risk of overpenetration would be lower here, but then overpenetration is what you'd want.    Again, XBOX guns versus real ones.

Sorry, Tyler Durden, our editor's alter ego, was a character in the movie "Fight Club.  He made luxury soap from the products of liposuction in the movie, and didn't give the recipe.  You can buy lye commercially,  but the only way I know how to make lye from scratch is the method you refer to, and I understand it is a highly unpleasant undertaking.

Nitroglycerine can be made, from memory, via a delicate(because it is dangerous) process involving glycerine (by product of making soap with lye, which is BTW just sodium hydroxide) and nitric acid.    Nitroglycerine is famously unstable, but can be stabilized by soaking into sawdust, or somesuch.    The stuff in the western movies packed in red tubes with detonators stuck in them, and fuse, would be the typical end form factor.

I was thinking the same thing. Ditched my cell phone 2 years ago and went back to a land line. No contracts, incoming call charges, minute plans or aggravation. Could not be happier, don't have to answer the dang phone all the time.

    I was at a college campus about year ago and noticed almost all the students were constantly looking at their phones-almost all of them,24/7, and they rarely talked to each other face to face in person. If you struck up a converstion their seemed to be a lot of squirming like they were uncomfortable talking. I think the people, especially the younger generation, are losing their social skills and have reverted to impersonal texting and staring at a screen, going through life attached to a simple communication device and missing the personal interactions and a truly wonderful world that surrounds them.

I think in the end what it comes down to for people like that is that they think their appearances mean more than their reputation. Their daddy apparent married a slut too.

A guy I know married an Eastern European girl.  She is just gorgeous - a tall, slim, young blonde - way out of his league.  She makes beautiful children and can whip up a home cooked meal out of practically nothing.  She speaks 4 languages, has an MA in math, and at home she worked for the government investigating bank fraud.  I am sure she was and is madly in love with her 40 something, doughy husband, who can be surly and unpleasant if required to turn off his computer game and interact with people in the flesh.  He went to community college and quit his job at a big box store to become a slum lord, buying rental property on credit in inner city neighborhoods to rent out to section 9. He was worth a fortune on paper, but lost it all during the crash. He lived on his credit cards until they shut them off. They live with his parents.  I think she has set her cap for the FBI or the state equivalent when she gets her citizenship.

The constant, instant connectivity to the world feeds a sort of psycological flaw being exploited by our times.  Is our "centrifugal bubble puppy."  Easier to focus on the lives of others instead of working on one's own when the general feeling is hopelessness as the rat race accelerates into oblivion but people fail to recognize how they have been programmed.  Social media, texting, email, etc. all goes hand-in-hand with this.  A brilliant, shining example of how much we have lost on our journey into materialism and blind consumption.  Things that have value so quickly become addictions for so many.  Always disturbs me to see people sitting together, and each of them has their heads down focused on a device... engaged in a conversation elsewhere instead of in person.

I don't find it depressing. In fact, I find it pitiful. These dumb-downed poor slobs don't have a chance in hell to survive the realities in front of them. AND NO, they won't wait in line outside the last store on the block that has food availability, as the shelves empty before them. These are the feeble that stand in line for things they don't need, Which means they would do exactly the opposite for things they do need. That's the way it works. These are the street wonderers seeking a meal handout...The same people who kept Obama in office. Bondage isn't where they find themselves - it's what they are. Consumers made to be consumed.

indeed.  I took my guitar and amp out to the in-laws cattle ranch and cranked it playing some Skynyrd or whatever, the cattle stampeded over (about 50 of em) and just stood at the fence watching and listening while a few were humping.   They were much better behaved than this vid of human comsumer insanity.  We ate a few of those cattle not long after, particularly one we nicknamed frankenstein for his ill temper and size.
