1. “Doctors without Wisdom”….Your last statement “your suppose to believe, that emotional appeal is all that is necessary”….I’m sorry, but get a grip! Since when, in current history, is rational thought the prevailing concept? I think we “of the right” need to understand that we are NOT fighting a RATIONAL war. It’ is not as we used to say, in Psyops (Psychological Warfare Operations), “winning the hearts and minds” it’s more like “winning the hearts and emotions”. The left has got this down to an “art form” and unless we “catch up” we might be the ones controlled by the FANTASIES of the left…..

2. In re “prepping lull.” Interestingly, while traditional “right wing” peppers may be sighing and taking time off, the left has developed an interest in prepping that has been notably lacking in the last several years. I hope (most probably in vain) that people will come to realize the most probable, IMHO, disasters do not respect political leanings. Hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, epidemics are not asking who you voted for. The guy in the WH is not the determinant of whether we are at risk or not. FEMA has been a mess no matter what party was in charge, and those who relied on federal Intervention suffered for it. Just a thought.

3. Daniel Kovalik of the University of Pittsburg School of Law pronounced this utter rubbish about Venezuela. A progreesive left elitist, who has never missed a meal, should be sent to Venezuela for a year. Where do American universities get these loonies?

   1. Where do American universities get these loonies?

      From American public (government) schools.

4. The different types of the Plague
   There are four different types of the pest:
   – the bubonic plague (bubo = boil)
   – septicemic plague
   – pneumonic plague
   – abortive plague
   All forms appear during a pandemic, but the most abundant forms are the bubonic and the pneumonic plague. However, out of a bubonic plague a septicemic one can arise if it is not treated. That septicemic pest can lead to a pneumatic plague and thus to death.
   Bubonic Plague

   A Journal of the Plague Year is Daniel Defoe’s novel of the Great Plague of London in 1665, published fifty-seven years after the event in 1722. Defoe intended the book as a warning. I thought it was well done. Got it from free books on Amazon

5. Re: Plague

   I remember a long-ago article in National Geographic which told the story of a child who visited a western state, was apparently infected with plague there, but didn’t show symptoms until she returned home to an eastern big city. The doctors there were completely baffled as they did biopsies on her buboes. They just weren’t used to even the possibility of plague. A few cases appear every year or so in the western US and doctors there are more alert to the possibility. Not being able to correctly diagnose nontypical diseases will be a big problem if SHTF.

6. Most doctors don’t belong to the AMA. There are many reasons why. Support of Obamacare and gun control are just more reasons to add to the list. I think seven years ago only 21 percent of doctors were AMA members.

7. This recommendation from the AMA is clearly political and not based on any relevant data. Look at the stats from the FBI UCR and see if it makes any sense at all to be calling for a ban on so called “assault weapons”.

   FBI UCR DATA 2016
   Weapons used per year in homicides

   Shotguns =262
   Rifles (Including the “AR-15”)=374
   Blunt objects =472
   Hands/Feet =656
   Knives =1,604
   Handguns =7,105

8. 262+374+472+656+1,604+7,105 = 10,473, weapons related homicides.

   325,000,000/100,000 = 3250, number of 100,000 groupings in uSA

   10473/3250 = 3.22, weapons related homicides per 100,000 Americans

   Your chance of dying in a car accident are over 4 times greater than dying in a weapons related homicide.

   Isn’t it time we banned all automobiles?

   I know, don’t gives the elites any more dastardly ideas.
