Then they’d have known that they were on the wrong side of it…

“Those individuals were part of a counter-narcotics operation, which had taken place a few minutes prior on the Mexican side of the border. The two members of the Mexican army did not see any sign notifying them that they were crossing the border.”



Wrong side of the border…ok, I can accept that they, without any markings, might have made a mistake. 


But holding Customs and Border Patrol agents at gunpoint? 


Yeah, one wonders….


Were they escorting someone?


And is anyone working for Barry doing anything to keep this from happening again. 

One might have thought that it had been handled by the USPS, having taken that long..

But no, it was a true message in a bottle, tossed into the sea in 1913. Held and returned by King Neptune.

Found by a fisherman, and returned to the descendant of the author of the postcard.
(which shows a great deal of integrity on the part of the fisherman, Konrad Fischer)

I wonder what paths the bottle took in that 101 years? Where did it go?

in the past few about the 2016 presidential candidates, I gotta say this:

If the Republican Party wants to have even a chance to win, they will NOT support a candidate like Jeb Bush.

Period.

If they do, they’ll guarantee a loss.

That simple.

 A LOT of folks voted for McCain, even when they had to hold their nose in order to do so. He frightened them less than Barry O did, so they made the best of the bad choices.

Then we had Mittens 4 years later. And fewer folks voted for him. Some held their nose, but really, many chose not to, and either didn’t vote or voted third party.

This left us with another 4 years of Mr. Soetoro.

Why, oh why, can’t the RNC figure it out? We need a clear difference in our choices. “Democrat Lite” won’t get people to vote for someone with an “(R)” after their name.

And unless we vote (and vote smarter), we are NEVER gonna find our way out of the swamp we are in.

HERE

If you read the article, you’ll find that apparently the rest of the counties in the state and neighboring counties in Utah want absolutely NOTHING to do with this. They don’t want the confiscated cattle even entering into their counties….for fear that the residents might get violent with the BLM agents.

I wish that I could join these folks

There are those who think that this is all about the Desert Tortise….But really, it is about control.

This fuel from seawater story sounds like someone wishing things would happen…

At best it’ll be break even energy wise. An energy storage medium.

And where will they find enough power (and heat) to make the reaction happen?  

Losing the conservative/liberal….Republican/Democrat…White/minority…Rural/Urban battle?

This map will show you why.

Go ahead, go there. Look at the country as a whole…..Look at the races. Look at the populations……

Scary, ain’t it?

We are doomed to lose. Period.

As did Waco, because we as citizens allowed them to. Because we foolishly, chose to accept the authority of some federal officers who we later found out were terribly wrong.

Randy Weaver and his folks stood alone.
The people at Waco stood alone as well.

A government agency perpetrated a terrible crime both times. And it didn’t have to happen, but the might of the government came down upon those people.

We, as a nation, chose NOT to interfere. We, as a nation, were wrong to choose that path. It matters not whether it was indifference, fear of reprisal, or just plain ignorance, the fact is that we allowed these injustices to happen (and, while that is a topic for another day, we allowed those who perpetrated these tragedies to remain free….and alive).

As an aside, not only did we as patriots fail these people, but the Press did so as well….

It looks like that sort of injustice may happen again.

If WE LET IT HAPPEN. If we stand by and allow the Feds to overreach their powers again.

Will we?

What would happen if each Federal Agent were shadowed by 3 or more concerned citizens? Armed Concerned Citizens? If every vehicle entering the “closed area” were followed by another, privately owned vehicle….again, full of “”Concerned Citizens” …..

What happens when they try to stop people from coming into the area that they have chosen to close off for no real reason and they are ignored? They can’t arrest 1500 people….They can, but they won’t….

Remember, the Feds chose not to push this and backed off 2 years ago.

Now if I can only find a way (and the time) to get there……

HatTip: Outrider

ETA: It is accelerating .

Pointing firearms at people not breaking the law? Arresting them for being on a public highway?

Where are the other authorities? Afraid of the feds? THIS IS THE Bureau of Land Management for Christ’s sake. Just because the BLM (and who says that they have any authority?) says some land is off limits, it gives them a reason for all this?

Question for the Geeks:

Since modern aircraft are apparently connected full time/real time by satellite and other methods of data communication, why aren’t the Flight Data Recorders given a channel to transmit data ?

I mean, the actual amount of data is really fairly small. A few Kilobytes a second for flight instrumentation and engine data, a few more for cockpit voice and radio traffic.

Really a fairly small amount f data, considering the connections most modern aricraft have today to send and receive data from their systems.

SO why? Why don’t we have a portion of one of these channels set aside? Why don’t we have the last moments of cockpit and voice data and radio traffic stored on someone’s server where we could get to it to see what the pilots were seeing and hearinf and saying to each other?

Sure, these systems could be disabled, and the Flight Data Recorders (the “Black Boxes” which are actually bright orange) would be the only backup. But if they were disabled, we’d know that something was up….

‘Cause i need some for each range bag/box, and a few for my preps and some for general first aid kit and then there is the ones for gifts for like minded friends and then…..

Simple invention for penetrating wounds gets FDA approval

Seriously, I’d buy a bunch if they were available today.

But still, being held captive because someone decided that you are too old to take care of yourself?

Bet it happens here is the US soon as well.

Elderly couple demand hospital end “Illegal Detention”

So this couple in British Columbia (Victoria)goes to the hospital (clinic at the hospital) for some medical care….

The doctors and hospital staff decide that they are unable to take care of themselves (being 84 years old and all)….

They prevent the couple (both of them) from leaving…Even to putting Mr Allen in (essentially) a straitjacket and cabling him to the bed.
They freeze access to their bank accounts. Their assets are under control of a Public Guardian.

They aren’t allowed to determine when and how they get care….they couple would prefer to have a nurse visit them weekly AT THEIR ASSISTED LIVING HOME. They wish to be as independent as possible in their old age.

It is currently in the court system.

Soon, it’ll happen here.
Bet on it. 

There is a LOT of money to be made in situations like this.
