"The `monkey-model’ is a weapon which has been simplified in every conceivable way and which is intended for production in wartime only."

When you can't afford Tommy guns. Still in use in 2006 with Nepalese forces. By 1944 the Germans, also in need of basic weapons, were making copies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sten

The Sten used simple stamped metal components and minor welding, which required minimal machining and manufacturing. Much of the production could be performed by small workshops, with the firearms assembled at the Enfield site. Over the period of manufacture, the Sten design was further simplified: the most basic model, the Mark III, could be produced from five man-hours of work. Some of the cheapest versions were made from only 47 different parts.

“Situational awareness” expands from something Navy SEALS worry about to something everyone must engage in. Is that it now?
 

On the road, this practice is called "defensive driving."

Now you are right. Things have changed, and there is even more of a feeling of constant vigilance than there used to be. This is necessary now. Driving is a good example, because the recent increase in the need for situational awareness exemplifies what is happening in White countries.

“ It doesn’t matter that In WWII Americans saved the Jewish race by helping to destroy Nazi Germany.”

Simpletons may buy this but everybody else can figure out that not accepting Jewish refugees AND waging a brutal war against Hitler on terms of unconditional surrender- who had clearly announced, and frequently repeated that the price for Germany’s defeat would be the destruction of European Jewry - can only mean: Saving the Jews was no war goal, and they were more valuable dead than alive for the Allies. They could then point to a monstrous crime that hit at the very root of JudeoChristian Western civilization, and thus justify the uncivilized destruction of Germany, and the brutal post-war treatment of the German people who had contributed so much to that civilization in the first place, esp in the modern period

Despite your comments, the fact remains that if America had stayed out of WWII, Germany might have won and the Jewish race would have been toast.

1 million Americans were killed and 5 million wounded in that war. And how do the Jews pay us back for our sacrifice? By abusing us at every chance they get via stock market, hedge funds, banking, ponzi schemes, media, academic, legal, immigration, sexual and societal perversion and political manipulation.

They label the very people who saved their asses as “Deplorables, haters, White Supremists, Racists, and Nazis, and they try to start a race war to destroy us.

As for lack of gratitude and self-awareness: I don’t see any of this on display in the US, where the tremendous war effort of the Soviet Union and China against Germany and Japan is hardly ever mentioned or acknowledged. you would think D-Day is what brought down Germany when it was never more than a side show, a fight against old men and young boys. The best German soldiers fought and died at the Eastern Front. And yet all the Russians and Chinese ever get is complaints and abuse .

At the moment we have a black South African as Miss Ireland, and good looking she most certainly isn't and also every musical award just has to go to a black person no matter how untalented they are,

Ireland is 'Woke on roids' unfortunately and I'm determined to have an honest view of blacks regardless of my own personal situation,

Also, there is always a trade off between internal volume and overall mass for a tank. Once mass reaches a certain point you have to either sacrifice mobility or protection, (the ternary diagram of all tank design is mobility, protection, and firepower). Adding another crew member significantly increases the required total volume, so by using an autoloader the Russians could make more tanks (because each required less steel) and provide them all with more armor and greater power to weight ratio than a roomy western tank. If you want to put a steep slope on the armor (always a good idea) than the mass constraints of a roomy tank become really, really severe. That's one of the big problems the King Tiger ran into in WW2. This isn't a new bias by the Americans: during WW2 the slope of armor on our Shermans significantly decreased from 1941-1945. We have always had a strong emphasis on "fightability", basically ergonomics where the T-34 didn't even have a turret basket or seats(!).

Those aren't negligible advantages in favor of the autoloader, and in many cases totally obviate the rate of fire advantage you get from having a single-digit ASVAB scorer loading the cannon. In fact, from 1962-1980, USSR tanks were projected by NATO as being clearly superior to our own vehicles in both the tactical and strategic sense, and the only hope the ground combat element had against Soviet armor would come from AGTM equipped infantry and suicidally bold A-10 AH-1 and AH-64 air interdiction against armor columns. The Russian paradigm was superior by even our own analysis.

That only changed with the Abrams after 3-4 failed programs to address the issue. And Abrams had a bunch of voodoo black magic that allowed it to overcome in the internal volume problem. British Burlington armor was mated with DU laminate to give superior armor protection even with less thickness and slope, the Chrysler Gas Turbine gave the tank an excellent power to weight ratio despite it's huge mass, and the thermal sights+autostabilizer+105mm (later 120mm) main gun with DU sabots gave superior trajectory and terminal effects. The only way we finally validated our doctrine was by merging these three very exotic technologies, which was by no means easy or assured and almost failed many times. Still, even with voodoo DARPA magic, the Abrams gets about the same gas mileage as the IJN Yamato sailing upwind. We figured we could get away with that due to interior lines of supply and the natural logistical advantage of the defender. Still, for most of the Cold War, the USSR theories were vindicated.

America's economic situation was *castastrophic* before COVID even hit. Because of the pandemic, over the past 1.5 year the government literally bought everyone's debt while sending them checks, printed $10 trillion exta in QE(quantitative easing,ie inflation), while, at the same time, real GDP shrank by 20% and revenue by 25%. To make matters worse, America got in a pissing match with China over Taiwan, which led the surgent superpower to inflict heavy penalties on U.S held businesses and Chinese nationals withdrew investments from U.S assets.

What is happenning now is the culmination of more than 40 years of economic mismanegement and *both* right-wingers and left-wingers are to blame. It was Ronnie Reagan, worshipped by right-wing conservatives as a god, who turned the U.S.A from the World's biggest creditor nation to the World's biggest debtor nation, with his multi-trillion military budgets to bankrupt the U.S.S.R. To make matters worse, and to further weaken the U.S.S.R, Ronnie bought the support of Third World nations by essentially lowering American trade tariffs to zero to allow those countries to have huge trade superavits with America. So U.S companies went there where labor is cheaper, leading to the destruction of American Industry. The "rust belt" is as much to blame on Ronnie as on anyone else. He *dramatically* accelerated the de-instrialization of America that had started in the late 60's, early 70's. Then, his successor, Bush Senior, decided to start foreign wars that cost hundreds of billions of Dollars to protect the profits of oil companies that are not even headquartered in America, don't pay taxes to America, and still price gauge their oil to American consumers. Then, the left-winger, Bill The Cad followed, with his endless social programs fueled by taxes from the non-existent .com emerging internet economy of the 90's. By 1996, it was obvious that it was a bubble and phony, but Bill The Cad cared far more about reelection than the country, so he made Greenspan buy the failed assets from the failed internet companies. To his credit, Geroge Junior was going to do the right thing and let the bubble burst, but then 9/11 happened and he thought that a social revolution might happen if he let the economy crash after that national trauma. So the FED once again printed more money and re-inflated the bubble. Also, Bush Junior wanted to give it to Daddy by finishing the job that Daddy couldn't(killing Saddam), so he needed another hundred or two billion bucks for his desert advanture. At the same time, the Federally-subsidized home ownership program started in the early90's by Clinton culminates in the catastrophic 2008 crash. So the left-winger Obama takes office, and decides that the progrma that led to the worst economic crash since 1929 was a good idea, and that everyone in America, even people without jobs, should own a house, so he amplifies the already huge home ownership program of the Federal Government, and tells banks that they can make house loans to anyone, no matter what. So now the government assurance of the loans continues, except as long-term collaterals. By 2016, the bubble was by far the biggest in U.S history, no wonder since it was a bubble that started in the internet.com bubble of the 90's, and then combined with the housing bubble, and then with the U.S treasuries and then the fiscal stimulus bubble of the 2010's. So COVID hit, and 20 years of 3 bubbles combined with the biggest stimulus package in the U.S history, at some $20 trillion total.

To summarize: huge trade deficits for 40 years, combined with a 40 years gigantic government spending spree, combined with not one, not two, but 3 financial bubbles over 25 years all inflated by the monetary policies of the FED that were not allowed to burst but instead combined with each other, followed by $20 trillion spending in less than 2 years due to the pandemic. And all that process happening while the country de-industrialized and became more and more dependent on imports.

It is important to point out that *both* conservative right-wingers and liberal leftists are to blame fcor this. Both parties have bankrupted the government, and both parties have re-inflated bubbles that should have crahsed for no other reason than to assure their re-elections. The only difference is where the parties spend money. Right-wing conservatives spend in in the military-industrial complex(Eisenhower's warning notwithstanding), while liberals spend it on social programs and government handouts. But they *both* put America in this dire mess.

I don't think Americans fully understand just how dire America's economic situation is. The U.S is broke as a competitive economy, and it is *beyond* broke at the governmental level. Not only doesd the U.S National Debt appraches $30 trillion, while the economy is only $22 trillion in size, it is actually worse than that. The actual size of the economy is actually closer to $15 trillion, because of hos massively infflated the financial sector is. The U.S has been able to run trade deficits of $800 billion a year for 40 years in a row because the World was willing to pay for it, since th U.S holds the World's Reserve Currency. Not anymore.

What is about to happen is that there will be a run on the U.S Dollar. Not similar to what happened in 1971 when America was struggling to finance it's efforts in Vietnam and no longer had enough gold to back up it's reserves, a problem that was "solved" by Nixon exiting the gold standard. No, this is a run on the Dollar where the Dollar will be as good as toilet paper. Actually, toilet paper is better since it actually serves a function!

Some economists are proposing a new term for what is about to come: "tankflation"(tanking + inflation), which means basically a depression where, at the same time, money loses it's values. Not really a stagflation, but something even worse. No, not as bad as the Weimar Republic. WORSE. Because during the Weimar Republic, as much as currency became worhtless, the German industry and economy were actually slowly recovering from WW1.

Americans don't really understand just how bad it is what is coming. It is basically the end of the U.S as a World economic power, and the end of the Dollar as the World's fiat currency.

First, the purchasing power of your money will decrease to a quarter of what it is today. But, at the same time, everything that you purchase will cost more, as America makes nothing in 2021 and imports everything, and you'll have to actually purchase their currency in order to purchase their products, instead of just printing Dollars like we used to. Secondly, not backed by foreign money, the U.S Government will have to default on all internal payments. First, all the Federal bureaucracy will not receive their salaries, including salaries you definitely want to pay, like those of the military. Then, state governments as their revenues plummet from collapsed sales taxes(no one wll be able to afford anything, so no sales tax to local governemnts), the police, fire fighters, etc, will go without salary. As no one accepts Dollars, and the costs of doing business in Dollars becomes even greater, the few remaining American industry will leave the country despite American labor now being so cheap, further tanking the economy. In the end, the only thing the U.S will have left to negotiate some power and position in the World will be it's nukes. That is, a very similar situation to Russia's in 1991. Something along the lines of telling the World:"Gives us something, or we might nuke a couple of your cites, retaliations be damned, because otherwise we will starve, so we got nothint to lose. You do."

No, this will not be like the 1929 crash and the depression of the 20's. It will be something *significantly* worse. Oh, U.S.A, how the mighty have fallen!

When you add this to the current polarization of the U.S, with the Right being full or racists and the Left full of "woke" delusionalk morons, the country might actuallty not survive this. It would take a tyrant-titan with absolute control of the military to declare martial law Roman-style to save the country from utter chaos and collapse, and I cannot imagine Ameircans accepting a tyrant-titan figure . So this is it.

This is especially true if the woman has shown herself to be a tough fighter, the equal of any man.

If white people were averaging five or six kids per family for the last generation or two, and were increasing in their percentage of the country’s total population, you would see a miraculous turnaround in the Democrat leadership.

In 1965, the Democrat leadership put their money on non-white demographic change, which they saw coming and have actively encouraged since that time. Obviously, it’s a winning strategy for them.

If that were the case then they would have stuck with Catholic Whites where they needed their votes. In reality they wanted to bust urban Irish and Italian neighborhoods even though they heavily voted Democrat.

The explanation is that Democrats have long wanted to get rid of working class Whites.

It has long been a belief of the managerial class that boorish and crude working class Whites hold back Blacks through petty and daily discrimination. You can see this view in endless books and movies where the protagonist has to protect non-Whites from a thoughtless roughneck Bad White. It's not that liberal assumptions about race that are flawed, it must be some redneck at a bar that called a black guy a nagger.

Don’t be fooled by look-alikes:
 

Cream-filled and chocolatey, Oreo cookies have long reigned supreme as the go-to sandwich cookie on supermarket shelves, but they've become much more than that — they're a bona fide American icon. By 2017, with more than 40 billion Oreos produced every year, raking in more than $2 billion annually, they were hailed as "the best-selling cookie brand of the 21st century" by its manufacturers, Mondelez International.

So it might surprise some fans that Oreos were once considered copycats. Though they were created more than 100 years ago, in 1912, they were actually the second of its kind to hit the market. The original was launched by a company called Sunshine Biscuits in 1908 — unfortunately named Hydrox, a misplaced mashup of hydrogen and oxygen, which was supposed to suggest "purity of product" (via Atlas Obscura).

Aside from the general concept (dark chocolaty cookies sandwiching a cream center), the Hydrox cookie also sported a floral-type pattern, but when Oreos hit the scene to compete, it was the original that would eventually become the underdog — one writer for The New York Times dubbed Hydrox "the Pepsi to the Oreo's Coca-Cola."

According to Insider, Oreos were introduced by the National Biscuit Company (later Nabisco), as "highest class biscuits." But they did not immediately overtake Hydrox. That process took decades, as the two competing manufacturers engaged in "biscuit wars," with Hydrox warning customers of "imposters" and Nabisco execs stubborn enough to absorb losses on the then-unsuccessful Oreo (via Serious Eats). But, with a redesign and aggressive ad campaign (plus a price hike), sales turned around for Oreos in the mid-1950s.

As Serious Eats explains, Sunshine soon went belly-up, and Hydrox was eventually destined for the dustbin of history — but not before being ping-ponged around to companies like American Tobacco Company, Keebler, and Kellogg's. Keebler attempted to fix the unfortunate name issue by rebranding as Droxies, but the damage was done — only two years after Kellogg's assumed ownership in 2001, Hydrox was off the market (via Atlas Obscura).

Leaf Brands, which reintroduced Hydrox in 2015, throws not-so-subtle shade toward Oreos on its website, saying, "don't eat a knock-off," and pointing out that its cookies are darker chocolate and crunchier, with a less-sweet filling. The company also calls attention to using real cane sugar (Oreos contain high-fructose corn syrup), plus a "cleaner label," sans hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors, and GMOs.

I know several Indian families and the first generation in America typically arranged marriages for their children born in this country but not always. I was surprised the first time I met a man born and raised in this country who had went back to India for an arranged marriage. He seemed as American as Apple Pie. I recall touring Gettsburg battlefield with him and he was playing the movie Gettysburg in his car the entire time. Turns out he's a bit of a civil war fan.

The second generation grandchildren born in country seem to be making their own way although they are sent on extended trips to live with family in the old countery.

While it is true that many progressives have psychological problems and 30% of women are taking psychotropic medications the main reason for the great awakening was due to White Christians becoming a minority in America 10 years ago. More Americans benefit from this ideology than are directly harmed by it. Young Americans are taught that they can gain racial or sexual Pokémon status points which help them advance their careers and status. Among our University students today they learn how to take advantage of their Pokémon identity points and how to gain Pokémon status points. 50% of College students are White , yet only 20% are Straight White males and 25% of white females students identify as Non-Binary or bisexual or trannsexual....

The flight from white is real and shows no sign of ending. The solution requires White males to lead us out of this. The reason so many White females are now on psych drugs is because they cannot find suitable boyfriends and husbands. This is the same reason so many white females no longer identify as heterosexual. Since they cannot find men to satisfy them. Females become hysterical when they lack a dominant male partner. This has been known for thousands of years. Most women require a dominant male in their lives to reduce moodiness and psychological problems. Unfortunately their are not enough High testosterone white guys in America today. Testosterone levels have dropped significantly since the 1970s and this has resulted in far too many females lacking a suitable husband or boyfriend. Thus we have seen a big rise in crazy white females.

Her death, like the others on Challenger, was a tragedy, but she'd have made an even greater contribution to the world if she'd had four high-IQ babies.

One of the reasons it's so far underground is that it's so damned difficult to make. You need someone with a fairly sophisticated knowledge of chemistry and a pretty elaborate laboratory. It's not at all as simple as whipping up some bathtub gin or a batch of meth. I doubt there's any actual LSD for sale out there. If there is, you'll need some extremely hard to find connections.

What is worse? Having no effective Commander in Chief (our current situation) or having Harris?

My hope is that Biden’s senile dementia will prevent him from getting us into any wars and that’s good but we will have to live with an increasingly incapacitated President, whose courtiers decide national security matters. On the other hand, Harris is not senile but she is, by all accounts, stupid and a bully. I can see her sending the US to war against a competent conventional enemy. The result will be horrific for the troops and for the US.

Really the situation is not good.

I think if you just walk into businesses and start swinging away with a bike lock at people, you should be taken out and shot. I can't think of any reason on earth to keep such people alive. We don't need them in the gene pool, and the taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for their arrest, prosecution, defense and their food, water and shelter during imprisonment.

But I agree, not in the store with a freaking AR-15 with a 400+ yd range. Bad policing.

A .30-30 is more likely to over penetrate a target than a .223.

Replies: @74v56ruthiyj

.223/5.56x45mm is technically an "intermediate cartridge." Not as powerful as the guns that are usually called "high power rifles" -- which typically start at 7.62x51mm chamberings and get larger from there -- but much more powerful than handguns, SMGs, PDWs.

But this is semantics. Hair-splitting. "But ackshually..."

(Speaking of "but ackshually," there are exceptions to both of the statements I've made above. .22-250 and .270 Winchester are pretty small, but nobody can say that they aren't high powered rifles and keep a straight face. On the other side of the coin, Bubba's hot hand-loaded .44 Magnum rounds can be more powerful than most intermediate rifle rounds. But these are all uncommon.)

The bottom line is that this is an example of laughably poor police work.

- Dude beating the shit out of a woman with a bike chain in the mall.
- 911 call.
- Police show up.
- Spend 10 minutes forming up and planning how they're going to take dude down.
- Cops rush in.
- Negro cop shows up late and breaks formation, "get out of the way, let me get in front with the rifle!"
- Perp slowly shuffles down an aisle, negro cop shoots him in the back from 25 feet away, before issuing any commands.
- One round penetrates a wall and hits a 14 year old girl hiding in a dressing room with her mom.
- Kid dies in moms arms while negro cop tells bike chain victim that she's safe now.

Nobody should be okay with this. It was shoddy work. The cops didn't know what they were doing, and that poor girl paid the price.

“Letting women into universities has been an unmitigated disaster for western civilisation.”

This is one of the most idiotic statements I’ve seen on this blog. Having women educated and involved in the workforce is what has distinguished Western civilization from the rest of the world. Just look at the Arab world, which is still ass-backwards because of their insistence on keeping their women barefoot and pregnant. Keeping 50% of your population uneducated is completely absurd, like something the Taliban would come up with.

Yet another absurd and misogynistic response. Are you a recent arrival from Afghanistan? If so, you will have to radically update your viewpoints as this is a free and open country. Of course, you are always free to return to, or emigrate to, Afghanistan where the subjugation of women is standard and common place. Enjoy.

" .. Tell the dispatcher someone is being attacked and you think the attacker has a gun. That’s the only way you’ll get a fast police response in a big city."

It can also get you in big trouble. I remember a case (which I wasn't able to find) where a robbery victim falsely reported a gun was used to get a faster response, the responding police shot the unarmed perp and the victim ended up in big trouble.

If 9/11 was about Israel, why were none of the hijackers Palestinians? Why in all their subsequent fighting Al Qaeda killed mostly their fellow Muslims but no Israelis?

Did Sayyid Qutb and the Muslim Brotherhood hate America because of the "depravity" that he saw in Tel Aviv or because of what he saw in Greeley, Colorado?

https://www.5280.com/2010/08/al-qaedas-greeley-roots/

The hijackers in their own words objected mainly to the presence of America troops on the holy soil of Saudi Arabia, where most of them were from. Sure they expressed solidarity with Palestinians - that's pretty routine among Arabs and Leftists but it doesn't mean a thing.

Endlessly reciting the lie that American wars are "for Israel" doens't make it true. Did we fight the 1st Iraq war "for Israel" or for Kuwait and their oil ? Did we fight in Afghanistan "for Israel"? Look at a map. If Israel disappeared (as I suppose you wish it would) America would still have strategic interests in the Middle East and Muslim fanatics would still hate the West.
