SurvivalBlog presents another edition of The Survivalist’s Odds ‘n Sods – a collection of news bits and pieces that are relevant to the modern survivalist and prepper from “HJL”. Today’s focus is on terrorism.
Terrorism
Paul Joseph Watson has posted a YouTube video that lays out the reasons for the Scalise shooting very well. This is clearly a case of “leftist terrorism”. The lamestream media continues to focus on the weapon, but the truth is being revealed. This is a direct result of the leftist’s and the media’s constant drumbeat of Trump and Co. being traitors. Imagine the outrage that would be expressed by the media if this had been a follower of InfoWars.

Reader P.S. sent in this Wall Street Journal article that details how the Philippines is now a primary target for the Islamic State. In the southern reaches of the state, the mostly Roman Catholic country is now having to take the Muslim insurgents seriously. The Black Islamic flag holds twenty percent of Marawi City. Meanwhile, the standoff has claimed the lives of at least 58 security forces and almost 200 rebels along with dozens of civilians. In addition, the Islamic State is now profiling some of the militants in its propaganda magazine Rumiyah.

The Scalise shooting happened this morning, June 14th. Interestingly enough yesterday, the Christian Mercenary wrote about the open hostility and encouragement of the assassination by the loudest voices in the nation (targeted at Trump). The goal of the left is to keep Trump and the Republican party from fulfilling their duties, but it is a dangerous game they play. If half of the nation no longer feels that voting matters and that a civil war is inevitable, then war will occur. This shooting brings the nation one step closer to that horrific occurrence.
Medicine
Reader DSV wrote in to inform us that Oregon is no longer a safe place to be if you are mentally ill. The senate passed a bill to allow starving mentally ill patients to death. Senate Bill 494 is touted as a “simple update” to Oregon’s current advance directive, but it allows for the starving and dehydrating to death of patients with dementia or mental illness. First, we allowed the unborn to be killed indiscriminately. Then we allowed the terminally ill to end their lives with “help”. Now we allow others to kill the old and weak. What’s next? Will we sanction the wanton killing of undesirables and the mentally retarded like Germany did in the ’30s? Will we then move to dehumanizing those whom we are prejudiced against and killing them as well?
The progressive left is quick to call others “Nazi” when they don’t like them, but it sure seems that they are the ones that are taking those actions.
Politics
Russian protesters turned out by the tens of thousands on June 12 complaining about the lying, stealing, and corruption as part of opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s long-shot bid to unseat Putin. In typical Russian fashion the protestors were met with police armed with helmets and trucnheion. Somewhere between 650 and 1000 were detained in St. Petersburg alone.
A Good Days Work
Are you feeling like you worked harder in your youth than those of today? Reader H.L. sent in this article from The Burning Platform where the author recounts all the jobs that they have worked since they were five years old. I have a similar storied career path. It’s hard for me to feel even a shred of empathy for a modern millennial who complains that they need a break from work. You do what you have to do to earn the money you need to live.
Vintage Typewriters
Vintage typewriter enthusiast are gathering at an Albuquerque restaurant to experiment with vintage typewriters. In this age of digital electronics, there is a sense of nostalgia for the older technology. I often marvel at the mechanical wizardry that was used to accomplish what we do with digital today. I long for my father’s Underwood, and I even miss my heavy IBM Selectric. Who knows…after an EMP strike, they may be the only operating typewriters. Thanks to DSV for the link.
Condition White
Reader T.P. sent in this video. Condition white? Probably not a good idea here. Imagine sharing your living room and limited food supply with a hungry African lion and your only protection being a small wash tub you have to hold on your back. This little guy didn’t check his “six”, and it almost costs him more than his dinner. (78 seconds)
Yesterday’s shooting unfortunately crossed a new line, putting this nation closer to civil war. It is a misperception that the left wants to eliminate guns. To be sure there are some who wish to do so. However, the hard core leftist only want them confiscated from their enemies so there will be less resistance. Case in point Venezuela, who has some the most severe gun laws. Now the government is arming politically aligned citizens to enforce the collapsing socialist state.
I have been saying for a long time, the Left in America is aligned with death. They support abortion on demand, euthanasia, legalizing dangerous drugs, putting violent criminals back out on our streets, the murder of police, legalizing perversions (leading to early death), death panels in health care. They advocate political systems that are responsible for mass murder, advocating violence and death to Trump, violence and death to Trump voters, Republicans, Christians, and Conservatives and now they want to murder those least able to protect themselves, those who are mentally ill and those with dementia (in Oregon). The Left has succeeded in allowing evil to flourish so much, (and the Church in America has been infiltrated by the Left) that God’s hand is being withdrawn from the country, if it hasn’t left already. If you are a moderate Democrat – shame on you for staying in that evil party! And if you’re a RINO and have supported the Left in their evil plans, then shame on you, too. With the attack on Republicans in Alexandria, VA, Democrats should be so publicly shamed they all want to crawl into a hole. But instead, they own our airwaves and spew lies and hate 24/7. They justify their beliefs with a ferocity like the Taliban and ISIS. They have debased our cultural life, our civic life and to a large degree, our religious life for those unable to discern truth. God help us.
Kathy Griffin, Nancy Pelosi, ANY ONE who has uttered or written statements (posting comments on internet web sites)of physical violence is just as GUILTY of the crime as the shooter.
This nation has become a cesspool of mindless, blithering idiots spewing out venom against any one who seeks to uphold the moral righteousness of 1776 America.
When the media (journalists, editors, and news station owners) CHOOSE to promote and publicize these depictions of violence (Facebook); they become complicit in the actual physical crime.
Let everyone examine their own self: what you sow, you Shall reap. It may not come today, nor tomorrow; but as you promote these attacks of violence (Media owners: This is for you); it will surely come to pass in your life, one way or the other. God is not mocked.
They call the right Nazis, but the Nazis at least did a quick death by poison or aphyxiation instead of Dehydration like Terri Schiavo. I would note we hung the Guards at Auschwitz who ran the starvation bunkers, but the Pinnelas County Deputies that watched Terri die her slow and horrible death are probably lauded since they are “law enforcement”.
At least it will fix the demographic time-bomb of Social security (including disability) and Medicare.
Tinfoilhatblackhelicopterconspiracytheorist that I am, I can’t help but think that the next level up in the Invisible Government is clandestinely promoting Second Amendment rights while actually working to make more guns available to more people, arming as many of the masses as possible to make their civil war more efficient and their institution of chaos and the New World Order easier. Naw…thats a bad X-Files script…..
Do all of these Congress members live in “Conditon White”? Instead of one marksmanship challenged Bernie Sanders Socialist, think if three moderately trained, dedicated Jihadi’s carried out this attack. Poor judgement on all of there behalf for gathering 2 dozen in one unsecure place. America and the world has changed.
In regard to the mention of Venezuela arming loyalists, I am reminded about the Obama administration purchasing millions upon millions of rounds of ammunition and tons of fully automatic weapons that were not going to the military, nor fully explained to the American people.
I guess I should quit putting off buying body armor.
