"Phones On Sale" - The Stampede Begins

Tyler Durden's picture




 

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.

With a combination of poor oral hygiene, a VERY diverse resident microflora, and the likelihood of a puncture and tissue crush injury - that is a recipe for a quite "difficult to treat" infection, with potentially serious consequences.

AMEN Tyler!

I've been saying for years, the herd needs to be thinned. 

NO, it's not "politically correct."

NO, it's not a nice comment about our society.

NO, it's not terribly flattering for our species....

But lets be frank, our grand 'social programs' are going against the tenents of Darwin's Law's of Natural selection, and Mother Nature will not be held in check forever. While it's great to have a helping hand when times are tough, and it's admirable for a society to offer benefits to it's constituents, the problem has simply gotten out of hand. What was created as a form of temporary assistance, has become a lifestyle. This simply cannot be sustained. It's basic math, folks.

In nature, the herd shuns and forces out members that do not get along w/ the rest of the herd. I've seen that on Saturday Morning nature shows since I was 5. Why is that half of America can't see what's happening, nor admit what it's going to take to solve the problem? And why is it taboo to even discuss the only solution that remotely stands up to basic-math? Because it's uncomfortable? So stick your head in the sand and pretend it doesn't exist, since you don't want to deal with it? No, no, some long-winded lawyer-type-career-politician (who never lived a day in the world you and I do: a.k.a 'the herd') will extoll the virtue's of more of the same (like an alcoholic that asks for his whiskey in the morning, "to clear up the hang-over...")

You know what's coming, and you know where we are headed. React accordingly, but don't bitch that you're not happy w/ the headlight staring down the tracks at you. You know damned well what's on the other end of it. You decided to stick your head in the sand and pretend you didn't hear the whistle blowing, remember?

If the agent of culling is the most economically sensible, i.e. Biological, we're all potential targets.

Our plan is to set sail and get as far away from "civilisation" as possible, then take it from there.

If we die in the process, we die. If we don't die, we dont.

Simple really.

Evolution did a great job actually. It freed us from instincts and gave us free will. But the mind is a muscle, if you don't use it you lose it and we revert back to instincts.

This is why there is no "human race"... What we call humans is actually all of evolution on display, from reptiles to what we would imagine aliens are like: a highly evolved, highly intelligent being.

In this video we see the reptile end of the spectrum.

 

Tastes like chicken.

DHS Orders 450 Million Hollow Point Bullets

Homeland Security buys .40 caliber ammunition, orders 450 million hollow point bullets. The high performance HST bullets are designed for law enforcement and ATK says they offer “optimum penetration for terminal performance.”

The thing is, those are pistol rounds, which are a joke in comparison to most any RIFLE round, of which LE has mostly the .223 poodle shooter.   The Red Dawn nutters have got scoped rifles, for deer hunting mind you, with rounds that plough through a half inch of steel, easy, at a few hundred yards out, and sail through several sets of military grade body armor.     Anyway, the use of a pistol during a hypothetical true all out civilisational zombified SHTF situation is merely to shoot your way back to wherever you left your rifle, which you then use to fight your way back to wherever your primary weapon is.

Yeah, I don't see what the issue is here- spending this money on .40 cal. popgun rounds is alot better than using it for real weapons. I think people who dont know anything about guns get scared by it, but if push came to shove this is the sort or armament I would wish my opponents had.

The 175 million rounds of .223 they bought is more cause for concern but as you note they pale in comparison to what comes out of high powered rifles.

The S would HTF inside of a week if systems affecting the supply chain or banking did not function.  The stores would be picked clean a few days later at most.  A few days after that (inside of 2 weeks I would think), the violence would get ugly and begin moving outward from major population centers in large enough numbers to overrun any individual holdout.

If it went down like this, I think most of us would be caught between the zombia horde and DHS/police/etc.  Middle class squeeze will take on a whole new meaning.

I like the idea of lions, or maybe a potentially electrocuting shock field that they have to cross to get to the goods, perhaps cannibalism could be included as well, big pots--BIG  pots--and fire supplied. Or maybe some flesh eating flying monkeys....the possibilities are endless. All that would make for such a better viewing experience, bets on survivors and all.

Clean up not necessary; the emptiness of these people is clear. Crack 'em open and there's nothing inside. Probably don't even bleed. If they do by chance bleed there are always the lions. What a society. No need to wait 'till Dec. 21 for B'ak'tun, it's here!

Pretty disturbing.  Except I'd prob fight for the last samsung galaxy note2, its an incredible game changer.   Iphone is a neanderthal compared to it.   The samsung note2 is a powerful mini computer with the ease of an incredible stylus pen input as well.  I'll be doubly productive out and about, on the road, and scouting my new bugout digs and other countries.  Apple should be shitting bricks about now because this thing will blow up big.   The apple fan boi blog fags are in a tizzy about it and all they can say is "its soooo big!!"   Well no shit, you aren't going to shove it up your ass fan boi.  Newsflash: people buy it because it is big, morons.

No, the Jews did not kill Jesus, HE laid his life down freely.Just as HE took it up again...............all for US.

We ALL killed Jesus, thru SIN.....................

Without a Perfect sacrifice, and the shedding of innocent blood, there can/could be no remission of sins.

And therefore, NO GRACE.

Well it isn't very bullish for Apple or Verizon. The phone was a $25 Android phone that runs on the Walmart $45 per month unlimited plan.

Even if you don't want to use it as a phone, it makes a better media player than the iPod touch and doesn't cost $200.

That leaves and extra $175 on your EBT card for $1.99 towels.

Hmm, the title is a little misleading, the first part of the video with only white people was pretty subdued compared to the other Walmart with blacks involved.

Of course animal behavior is the normal state for a group of blacks.

Wal-Mart, where this riot took place, is responsible for this because of the way they put the phones out on display.

Or maybe those were Wal-Mart employees on strike?

This is fantastic! It would only be better if the store manager came outside with a bullhorn just before doors opened and said to the waiting crowd that inside some of the phone boxes the store put $1000 cash.

This almost seemed staged. Anybody notice near the end the siren? It sounded like it was inside the store the entire time, and then once that lone cop showed up the crowd just subsided. I have personally seen big crowds fight on more than one occasion in my life and no they just didn't give up that easily.

Wish the cop had thrown a bunch of flash bangs into the crowd that would have been funny.

Seeing clips such as the one above reinforces my belief that the traditional American philosophy about holidays and how to occupy one's time during them is fast eroding. It cannot be denied that the usual family gatherings entail lots of work for some, enticements to eat/drink too much, provoke arguments, induce emotional stress, and in general prove to be difficult times for many.

Now, however, another fact is manifest: such events can distract attention from shopping. Recently it has become possible to start shopping at 12:01 a.m. after major holidays, or even on the evenings of holidays themselves. Surely the need for, say, a new television -- or five, ten, or twenty of them -- every year at reasonable prices must prevail over rival considerations such as family get-togethers or casual relaxation.

It is therefore with a nod to our practical side that I suggest the following innovation: it will soon become possible to register for, say, Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner at one or another major department store. The program might begin with limited participation; surely, though, the prospect of arriving at your local Wal-Mart, Sears, Target, Best Buy, or Costco on Christmas morning and spending the day there will be too alluring to turn down. In future years, of course, smaller-scale retailers will be eligible to participate as well. At some point, price competition might entail advance registration, so that in August or September families will have the opportunity of reserving their table at the local shopping mall. This, in turn, will open the door for Personalized Holiday Shopping Consultants to advise on the best possible site. As an alternative, assignment by random computer draws or by local government might be considered.

For children, the excitement of seeing the latest video games, fashions, movies, and other dazzling retail products will prevail over any desire to spend time with relatives, grandparents, or such mundane things as playing outside or simply talking. Arrangements can be made to personalize credit facilities so that these fortunate young people can select merchandise upon entry, thereby being certain of instant delivery.

Since the antiquated holiday rituals of cleaning house, preparing food, and getting ready for guests will be eliminated, and the tedious obligations of traditional family rituals will become a thing of the past, family units might be welcome to split up and do their shopping excursions on the basis of age, group interest, or some other common factor. Consideration should be given to the need of ensuring that impediments to shopping be eliminated as much as possible; the most efficient use of time will undoubtedly be to maximize the 'shopping experience' from the moment of arrival at the shopping mall, rather than indulge such distractions as spending time with friends, family, or neighbors.

Arrangements can be made to provide 'dinner breaks,' so that holiday repasts not interfere with the business of shopping. At some future time, such enforced gargantuan meals might be eliminated altogether as an unhealthy and unwanted distraction from shopping; for the immediate future, however, they are likely to persist in some form. Catering opportunities should not be dismissed out of hand; the more efficient use of time for shopping will necessarily distract from food consumption.

As the popularity of this system grows, it might be found necessary to assign family units to different times, though it seems reasonable to offer free choice, at least initially. Those family units wishing to begin their holiday shopping experience should find every encouragement, as that will allow others less crowded conditions for their holiday shopping.

It is envisioned that this system will at first apply only to major holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. As it becomes more popular, surely arrangements can be made for every other holiday as well.
