  2. Food, literally malnourishment, plays a major role in addiction too. My addictions are mostly gone after switching to a meat and veggies diet. They’re lying about red meat being bad for you, but do favor pasture raised meat both because healthier livestock makes for healthier meat and because such farms aren’t dependent on trucking in countless tons of poison-soaked Iowa GMO corn and soy.

    There are multiple synergistic components to the stack of tricks used to drive behavior. Food is the simplest one to tackle. Biggest bang for the buck. Start there.

    1. You must be right JML. … But, for a $125,000, surely Brownells would sell their ~semi-auto version of the Brownells BRN-134D™ Minigun, in the US States where full sized magazines are still allowed (Included by Brownells is the ~3,000 round Ammo-Canister).

      2. Yeah, I was wondering how long it would take a fella to exhaust that 3,000 round magazine on semi-auto. Pretty cute little joke on us.

        Cheers to you April Fools hoax sniffers.

        Carry on

    2. Bother!!! Before looking at any of these comments, I followed the Minigun Youtube link then immediately thereafter went to the Brownell’s web site and searched for “minigun” and “134D” with zero hits. I have been “April Fooled” – I took the bait – hook, line, and sinker.

    1. I never did see where Jesse Ventura was hiding the magazine for his mini-gun in order to shoot all of that ammo in that scene in “Predator.” 🙂

  5. Making everyone vaccinated is like forcing everyone in the building to wear a coat. Just close the door and keep the cold out, close the borders to carriers of communicable diseases.

        1. I know little about agriculture, and I didn’t spend the night at Holiday Inn Express, but speaking of quarantines, I just heard from my brother that there is a huge African Swine Fever outbreak in China affecting pork. (I had never even heard of African Swine Fever.) There is no vaccine for it and it has affected a huge percent of the Chinese pork industry.

          As a result, the annual World Pork Expo in Des Moines has been canceled because of concerns that contamination will be introduced in the US by foreign visitors. https://www.thegazette.com/subject/news/nation-and-world/world-pork-expo-set-for-des-moines-canceled-due-to-fears-of-african-swine-fever-virus-20190412

          Note that the devastation in China will likely drive up pork prices world wide.

          And, by the way, quarantines certainly help, but quarantines only reduce the societal impact of a disease after individuals become infected. That often means that the infected individuals are interacting with their families and communities while in the infected state, but before the disease’s symptoms manifest themselves. Malaria, for example, was introduced to the New World by previously infected Europeans who arrived when their disease was in the dormant state and when they appeared to be healthy and active.

          If you haven’t seen the 2011 movie, “Contagion,” do so. It seems to be a fairly accurate cinematic treatment of a mass flu pandemic introduced from China: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1598778/ There are many good survival/preparedness issues addressed in it.

  6. CBD for pets.
    We have a old grouchy German Shepherd. She is nearly 12 human years old and she has been diagnosed with arthritis, and a few other maladies.
    She was on the verge of visiting the Rainbow Bridge due to separation anxiety when our Vet recommended that we try some Chinese herbs or CBD. The herbs made her puke so we moved on to CBD as a last resort. CBD has worked wonders for her.
    I have heard that it does not work for all pets.

    I have never had a dog like her. She minds me better than my grandkids, easier to train too. She is an exceptional friend. I know she is just an animal but she is a really good one so I would like to keep her around for a little while longer.

  7. Re. Florida allowing gardens.
    One small step for liberty, one giant leap against Lincolnesque Yankee control freaks.

    Ridiculous you say? Look up the ancestry of HOA ‘officials’ in Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties. Find any Florida Crackers? Sorry but I am just stating the obvious.

  8. Re. Illegal aliens breaching America’s southern border.
    Trump is making Obama’s 8 years look like ‘The Good Old Days’.

    Don’t blame me, I wanted the only vote that ever mattered in history, a vote for secession.

      1. Yankee state? Ha, Lincoln was ready to grab Montana’s gold but then he decided to go to the theater.

        Ironically Montana has the SAME problem as Florida but it’s with Californians flooding us and bringing their California mindsets (and prices) with them. Not all of them but I’d say most.

        1. I had to laugh when I saw S99s comment. Seriously have you looked at the demographics lately of the south compared to the Redoubt? That alone should have you thinking twice about your choice of your SHTF place…

  9. Take note the SPLC was the primary source the FBI used to identify “hate” groups. Now we find the splc corrupt and the fbi weaponized into a kgb like political tool. Folks we have problems when the lead federal law enforcement agency is fully and utterly corrupt. And with that in mind we have a fight coming. Makes one wonder which Feds are not compromised.

  10. At this time in history, it’s hard to believe anyone still uses Google searches. We have options. Avoid Google as you would a rattlesnake.

  11. “This is a semi-controversial product.”

    If you have doubts about the value of cannabinoids as medicine, please watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seJVDDRNpuA
    It changed my attitudes. Maybe others can overcome their programming as well.
    Industrial hemp, and any products from it (defined as containing less than .3 Delta 9 THC), is no longer illegal as of the 2018 Farm Bill. You cannot get high from smoking or consuming hemp products that meet this definition, but there are many medical uses for such products.
