Most Favored Companies / Pro Motive...Heard of them?
« on: January 14, 2016, 09:11:15 AM »
Pro Motive is a consortium of brand name companies over a host of varied areas of interest. Benchmark and SOG knives to Kelty camping gear, to cycling parts, to Vortex scopes and hundreds more.

You must be vetted by the organization and assigned to a "Team" to be able to even see the vendors and deals. I filled out the application and was placed in two teams, US Army, and Special Operations Forces. There are teams for fire and rescue, some sports activities, and others.

The concept is that ProMotive gathers the so called "Experts" from each field of interest and use them and their opinions for product information, marketing and the like. They know 1. We know people, 2. We are influential, and 3. We and our friends can actually afford to buy things.

For their part they offer what I see is approximately 50% off MSRP on the products listed. I was looking at SOG axes just now for $40-$50 ea. Retail was $90-$100

Here's a link:

From the Oath Keepers:


Five Intelligence Essentials for Community Security


by Sam Culper, Forward Observer Magazine


We as veterans are blessed.  Not only can we say that we answered the call and served in our nation's military (many of us at time of war), but we also received some of the best training the world has to offer.  I enlisted as an aimless 20 year old, and military service instilled in me discipline and taught me a skill, as well as the purpose, direction and motivation for providing value to society outside of the Army, too.  Hundreds of thousands of Americans have similar stories.

As veterans, we may very well be called on again to lead our communities during turbulent times.  There are few areas outside the military that require its teams to complete tasks and accomplish the mission during stressful and often dangerous situations.  And there are few greater examples of leadership right now than preparing your community today for tomorrow's emergency.

Although we encourage veterans to get involved, civilians play a critical role in community security as well.  Here are five areas where veterans, patriots, and preparedness-oriented Americans should work together to build an intelligence capacity for community security.

If you're not very familiar with intelligence, then it's your job as a leader to become familiar and get someone on your team trained up to fill the role of S2.  We're not talking about being James Bond or leading top secret missions; instead focus on conducting threat analysis and developing early warning intelligence.  It's the S2's job to immediately begin contributing to these areas for a future SHTF event.

Here are five ways that you can better prepare for community security through intelligence.

1)

Maps - You simply must have maps of your area of operations (AO).  In order to understand the mission of community security, you'll need to identify just what your AO is - in other words, the boundaries of what you're going to protect.  Identifying the AO is the first step in a line of several steps that we'll cover later in the article.

Step into any tactical operations center, or TOC, in Iraq or Afghanistan and you're likely to see several types of maps of the AO.  The first map we'll need is a topographical map at 1:24,000 scale available from the USGS.  Printing off a map at your home or office printer is better than nothing, however, what's best is having a large map hung up on the wall.  You're going to need at least a twenty-four inch by thirty-six inch map if you want to be the best prepared.  You'll also be interested in having plenty of street maps and imagery of the AO, too.

2)

Police Scanner - Scanning local emergency services frequencies is the absolute best way to get up-to-the-second intelligence information during an emergency.  Unless you live in an area where this traffic is encrypted, you'll have access to some of the same information that law enforcement does.  And when it comes to making informed, time-sensitive decisions, a police scanner will be your best friend.  They're expensive, however, I highly recommend the Uniden Home Patrol 2.  It's my police scanner of choice for several reasons, one of which is because, unlike other scanners, its screen shows me what agency is transmitting.  That goes a long way in my ability to determine the area of transmission.

3)

Intelligence Preparation of the Community - I modified the Army's Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield for civilian use in my book SHTF Intelligence, and designed Intelligence Preparation of the Community (IPC).  Once we have our maps and map overlays set up, we need to identify and mark on our maps any critical infrastructure in the area, along with what's called the human terrain.  Critical infrastructure includes police and fire stations, government buildings, power plants, and fuel depots (among many others), and the human terrain includes community leaders and demographics (among many others).  We need to pay attention to the people, places, and things that keep life-as-we-know-it up and running, and we need to not only know exactly where they are in relation to our AO, but also how they'll affect our AO.  Doing the legwork now in order to understand the community is a top priority for the S2, and this step never ends.

4)

Threat Analysis - We need to begin identifying threats in our AO, which includes threats from outside the area that have the potential to migrate into the AO.  Threats are broken down into four categories:  conventional, irregular, catastrophic, and disruptive.  Once identified, we begin developing intelligence requirements so we can learn more about each threat and provide better analysis.  If you don't know the threat, then you can't defend against it, and if you can't defend against it, then it's going to eat your lunch.  In other words, understand each threat as he understands himself.  In the Military Intelligence Creed, that would be "find, know, and never lose the enemy."

5)

Early Warning Intelligence - Once we've identified and analyzed current and potential threats, it's imperative for us to find ways to provide early warning for them.  For current threats, our greatest early warning, in general, will be the effects of the SHTF event, which are likely to cause criminal behavior.  But beyond that, how can we develop tactical early warning intelligence?  Having 'eyes on' our community's avenues of approach is one of the best ways.  Through our threat analysis, we should know from what direction these threats will migrate and, therefore, we need to identify these threats as they're migrating as quickly as possible.  For potential threats - that is, threats that have yet to arise - we need to begin looking for 'indicators' of their activity.  We might begin looking for tagging on signs and walls, gang-related clothing and hand signs among the populace, noticeable surveillance of potential targets - anything you'd expect to happen before an attack occurs.  If we can identify these indicators soon enough, then we'll be a leg up on the competition and know they pose a threat to us before it's too late.

« on: January 12, 2016, 05:43:55 PM »
I second Don's comment, everyone always wants to "borrow" a trailer. Which I never minded, I just hated having to go get them back........
So at one point I am a senior Warrant Officer in the Armee and I own a trailer.

A couple soldiers I know come up and ask "Hey Chief, can we borrow your trailer (Again) this weekend?" This time they are going on another wild goose chase after a CJ-5 carcass I believe.
Mind you, the last time they borrowed it, they busted off both tail lights. So I made them go buy two more over at Grand-Pa's (a local novelty store) and install them, which they did.
This time they want to be good troops, so after using it, they parked it over on a lot the soldiers at Ft. Campbell use to sell their cars at. They did that sometime Sunday afternoon. When I drove over there Monday or Tuesday or whenever it was to tow it home, well, I couldn't find it...

Yea

Someone else needed it more than me!

So what is a senior Warrant officer going to do? Junior NCO's which I am not supposed to be having any personal dealings with, who, btw were always calling me to pull them out of the mud, bail them out of jail, or just happen to come over to my house to spend the night or just eat up all my supper...yea like that

So what could I do? Well, I thought about having another senior NCO buddy of mine just toss them out of the chinook while in flight, but someone would eventually talk and that would be a mess. Write them up you ask? "And what exactly were you doing off duty with enlisted soldiers, Mr. Harward?"
Nope, that was too messy
So I did what I do very well. I called them into my office, and ripped their heads off for awhile. Doing the angry officer routine on them then told them to get out of my office. Then I just forgot about it and lived many years thereafter without a trailer!

So now I have another trailer.

I am limiting my NCO friends these days so that I can manage to keep this one a bit longer!

The low prices are due SOLELY to manipulation. The upward pressure of precious metals must be enormous and very costly for someone.

Given the emerging financial conditions, Gold has, I mean HAS to be north of $2K an ounce and possible multiples of that.

I haven't stopped buying it!

I have dissolved all my equity positions and am keeping record low (for me) amounts of cash in the till. I was keeping chunks of $5,000 in 20's in the savings. I have been converting all of that into gold and silver though.

My someday upcoming son in law was at the game. He said it got way out of control, as in he was worried for his safety. The camera showed a single water bottle on the field, however he said people threw hundreds. Clean up crews were working fast to get them all. Additionally, he said fights were breaking out, literally everywhere. He has followed the Bengals going to games every season and has never seen such a loss of control...like some evil spirit descended on the stadium.

I too wanted to see a Seahawks rematch. To see if we really could win against a team like that.

One big disadvantage to building on an angle like that would be...gravity.

Obviously I know nothing about this sort of construction, however on a level sill plate the wall plates (2 X 6 or 2 X 4) only have to hold things in place against wind loads.

But on a tilt like that, should the bolts eventually fail due to rust or pull out of the concrete because it will always be loaded against the building naturally trying to slide off the wedge, then the whole thing will fail.

Again, I am no expert at all, and this must be some alternative form of construction, but even as the plates expand and contract due to differences in humidity and seasonal temperature, that building is always going to try to inch downhill. Must be some concept I do not understand...

I guess I'll assume that technique is just fine...

President Obama, despite his promises the U.S. “will not relent in the ISIS campaign” and his assurance that the world would not accept extremists’ attacks, such as that in Paris, actually is saying he is doing nothing of real consequence, “In fact, accepting the ISIS attacks as normal.”


“Indeed, he has constructed a new normal by failing to protect America, a stance which he has totally rationalized. In fact, he remains totally submissive to ISIS.”

The new comments come from Andrew G. Hodges, M.D., a board-certified psychiatrist in private practice, in an email conversation with WND.

Hodges’ previous projects include the double-murder case against O.J. Simpson and the Natalie Holloway disappearance. The author of “The Obama Confession: Secret Fear. Secret Fury” and a new book, “As Done Unto You,” about the Amanda Knox case, previously was assistant clinical professor psychiatry at the University of Alabama School of Medicine.

He explains that Obama is confessing to enabling ISIS.

“America’s current president is leading us ever so certainly into a worsening crisis that will encourage future attacks by ISIS. In order to learn why, we must appreciate two basic subconscious mechanisms – denial and projection – and Barack Obama’s own unconscious mind will take us to the heart of who he is and reveal his deepest motivations regarding the Islamic State.”

Hodges has helped pioneer work on the brilliant unconscious mind, which he explained in his 1994 book, “The Deeper Intelligence.”

He teaches that by accessing and interpreting messages from a person’s “unconscious super intelligence,” he can uncover confessions as well as motives for crimes.

Wonder why Barack Obama does what he does? Andrew G. Hodges, a psychiatrist who specializes in forensic profiling, may have the answer, in “The Obama Confession: Secret Fear. Secret Fury.”

“Obama’s basic denial – ‘ISIS is not dangerous’ – means he can’t consciously grasp the threat. First, his subconscious admits it has a powerful blind spot about ISIS and must block out its destructiveness. Second, another part of his unconscious – the brilliant super intelligence – teaches us to read through denial to see past that blind spot. This super-intel selects the key images Obama uses in his denials, key images which reveal the truth. Don’t overlook Obama’s image, the big idea he must deny in his own words – ‘ISIS is dangerous.’”

He notes that Obama, before the Paris attacks on November 13, said, “ISIS is contained.” And he said, “I don’t think they’re gaining strength.”

“Read past the denial. Unconsciously he’s aware ISIS’ strength is growing as they certainly demonstrated with one of the bloodiest terrorist attacks in Europe’s history.”

After the attack, Obama said, “If there’s a good idea out there, then we’re going to do it I don’t think I’ve shown a hesitation to act.”

Actually, Hodges writes, Obama is declaring, “I am hesitant to act.”

Likewise, with Obama’s promise the U.S. “will not relent,” Hodges said, “What his super-intel is saying is that Obama will continue to relent, doing nothing of real consequence, in fact accepting the ISIS attacks as normal.

“Indeed, he has constructed a new normal by failing to protect America, a stance which he has totally rationalized. In fact, he remains totally submissive to ISIS.”

Similar negative circumstances are apparent in his comments about immigrants, Hodges told WND.

“Obama then follows with an immediate plan to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees, mostly Muslims, into the U.S. insisting they are harmless ‘widows and orphans.’ So he grandiosely proclaims, ‘[we will] ensure that a refugee is not admitted that might cause us harm.’ Reading past his denial, we see that he ensures that terrorist refugees will be admitted. Unconsciously he knows some refugees will carry out attacks. His surface promise of ‘the most rigorous [vetting] process conceivable’ is a sham. Intelligence officials admit that we sorely lack adequate screening data.”

He continued, “How do we know when Obama’s denials are the exact opposite of the truth? How can we determine that these statements are secret cover-ups which we can see through?”

He said, “Look at the basic facts. Virtually everyone is hyper-conscious about the threat of ISIS – everyone but Obama. But he remains the emperor with no warrior clothes while only his indoctrinated supporters pretend otherwise. Another denial and projection provides an important clue to his passivity and secret enabling. He said about the recent attacks, ‘The most powerful tool we have is to say we are not afraid.’ His conscious message is ridiculous alluding to the fact he does nothing but talk. Weapons – not words – are the most powerful defense we have now. But reading through his key denial confession, ‘we are not afraid,’ Obama admits he’s secretly terrified of ISIS and can’t take action. Deep down, he’s so frightened he cannot even utter the name ‘Islamic terrorists.’”

Hodges conclusion?

“We have an exceptionally weak president who is actually destructive in his passivity. He’s misguided and secretly terrified. These traits lie behind the smooth bluster of his powerless words. No one but Obama believes ISIS is the ‘JV.’ Again you can see Obama’s confession hidden in this key projection. Obama, not ISIS, is the true ‘JV’ – a pretend president who’s in way over his head when it comes to protecting America.”

Hodges previously said Obama revealed through his Iran deal, a “destructive rage beyond belief” that should be alarming to the world because of its implication for the balance of nuclear-weapons power.

Wonder why Barack Obama does what he does? Andrew G. Hodges, a psychiatrist who specializes in forensic profiling, may have the answer, in “The Obama Confession: Secret Fear. Secret Fury.”

And WND reported when Hodges suggested Obama was “slipping mentally.”

“Not madness such as total loss of control mentally, but more and more drastic behavior seen in disturbed traumatized leaders,” Hodges said at the time.

Hodges previously  suggested Obama was revealing alarming ideas about martial law and described how the president wants “total gun control,” and also has addressed Obama’s opinions on election fraud and how he’s driven by revenge.

Hodges is not new to the field, already having identified killers by studying ransom notes, emails, letters and police interviews to spot secret confessions. He decoded Simpson’s “suicide note” to reveal Simpson’s links to a double murder. He deciphered the JonBenet Ramsey ransom note in Boulder, Colorado, to identify the child’s killer. He studied statements by Joran van der Sloot and Deepak Kalpoe to tie them to the slaying of Holloway. He claims Casey Anthony secretly confessed to killing her daughter in 200 letters written to a jail mate. He even decoded Bill Clinton’s comments about Monica Lewinsky

« on: January 10, 2016, 12:43:57 PM »
Last night's game between the Bengals and the Steelers was not easy to watch

My team, the Bengals made a poor showing, as did the fans up there on the river in that stadium.
Fans booing an injured Pittsburg player being taken off the field: Really poor showing there!
And my team...snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory!!!
1 min 38 on the clock, cincy up by one with possession of the ball. Simple, right? Just sit on the darned thing for two plays and go on to the next playoff game.

What do we do?? Lose the ball back to Pittsburg. So, OK, just hold them outside field goal range and win. Easy right? Apparently not. Cincy's response is to get a pass interference call which was so bad that it should have carried a criminal penalty. I mean those Bengal defensive ends are a danger to other players, they should be fired! So, yea, pass interference...Pittsburg's ball and within field goal range...due to a penalty.

We lost the game on a poor sportsmanlike penalty and showed the world the Bengals look like a bunch of street thugs. To say the least I am not proud of what they did last night!

Typical...

Been there did that...

One day the film crew shows up on my ramp. They want to get "Action shots" of pilots flying the aircraft.
They had us dress up all tactical like get in the aircraft and start it up. The guy with the camera filmed from below the aircraft, shooting up through the "Chin" bubble while we ran the aircraft flat pitch sitting on the ground. Those "Action/flying" scenes made it to be some recruitment advertisement.

All of that stuff is canned. You don't think Hollywood or any add firm photographers are going to get anywhere near a combat zone, do you?
When I think of those people, an older Don would have thought of a word that started with a P, has some S'es in it and ended in "ies"

Did you get your scope?

Yes, but not mounted
With the supplied low rings you cannot fit it with the rear sight installed.
I wanted a QD mount anyway, so I thought I'd explore options for a medium height QD.
I'm wondering if I will be able to run iron sights at all, and in the case of the ones on this Sig, I really like them. I was able to bust up some old dinner plates at 100 to around 130-140 yards with just those sights.
The gun is completely useful at those ranges as delivered.
But I'll get that scope on.

I tend to favor the urban stance and hold...

slightly crouched, body at 90 degrees to the target arm outstreched fully and slightly above head level with gun canted 90 degrees so that any sightline is down the side of the slide.
That works best if you push the gun toward the target quickly while pulling the trigger to add to the muzzle velocity!

So cupping your left hand beneath your right hand is not recommended?  Can anyone explain why?  I've always done it that way.

I was also interested to learn from the 1st and 4th pictures that the bullseye should be aligned vertically with the top of the sights.  I had always assumed that the front circle dot should be centered on the bullseye.  Basically I thought the bullet should leave a hole directly behind where the front site dot was.  Guess you learn something new every day!
Definitely not recommended
When shooting the weaver stance in particular and folding both hands together, you can then pull with the left hand (Assuming you are right handed). This, both stiffens your arms and helps to mechanically lock your shoulder blade/shoulder and upper rib cage into a solid mass. This makes for less moving parts in the human and a stiffer overall gun mount (Hands and arms) This makes you more accurate and almost completely rules out the chance for a limp wrist malfunction.
I used to see a lot more malfunctions from women shooters using the isosceles than from men shooting the weaver stance. No mechanical lock with the Isosceles stance!!

should this be a sticky?
Ask the weapons mods...
If they say so, I surely wouldn't disagree. Good stuff here!

D.O.T. / Re: What fuel has the longest shelf life?
« on: January 06, 2016, 11:47:12 AM »
^^ I have now said this multiple times. I believe long term storage of fuel should start as tanks of waste oil/transmission/hydraulic and other oils and petrol products.
Then when and if it is ever needed, simply filter off 60 gallons and process it into clean diesel and shove it into your tractor or truck.

There certainly is a lot (illegal) going on and from all sides.

I do not like the idea that JSOC is involved at all. They definitely have the expertise to get whatever the boss decides to get done, but if they are doing anything other than providing intel, well, that's use of the united states military against it's citizens within the border, and that is not allowed.
In the past we have provided technical assistance to police agencies who lack the training, but this feels more like direct action.
Police officers, as in state police officers need to peacefully arrest the occupiers of that building/area and then have the whole thing heard in court. I think the Hammond and what happened down on the Bundy ranch needs to see daylight as well on the national stage...and during this election year.
