Yes, we were there when the news was announced that they disbanded their military. They had a woman leader at the time, don’t remember her name.

You can employ other things that can multiply the force.

Gas is the easiest, if your safeguards are in place.

You can range it from debilitating type gases to lethal, and if you choose right you don’t pose any ongoing risks to yourself or your family.

Livestock is another matter. You can defend yourself with very few, or no, people. You just need to have the means and the will to use the system, and use it without exception. That takes a touch of sociopathy to pull off.

Every ‘bolthole’ should be tagged and publicized, so the public knows JUST where to go.

Why? Or was it sarcasm? Dang it, I never can tell when you people are kidding.

And, no doubt, YOU will control the horizontal, YOU will control the vertical...?

If it came out that he owns one of these ‘panic’ places, how do you think that would sell?

You should see the uber private airport and boltholes up in Habersham County. Black Hummers with security pick you up and drive you to your bolthole. Willie Nelson has a bolthole up there.

Fair warning: Any attempt to tag and publicize our bolthole could lead to sudden death syndrome. :-)

It’s true. I am a one man wrecking crew. I kill all that I see. You have seen me featured in many First Person Shooter video games. I kill, I jump, I spike, I fly, I am amazing. I cannot be stopped.

You have no bolthole.

I'm already in there, posting from it.

The Adirondacks have these, too. I spoke to a retired builder/developer in a bar in Lake Placid around 8 years ago. He told me about a visit he made to a fenced and gated compound of scattered homesites patrolled by armed guards miles in from the highway. He said the firepower they carried was well beyond what was needed to keep the black bear population in check.

Despite the falling crime rate, New Zealand has followed the pattern of many Western countries by locking up more and more of its citizens.

I love how these statements are published without a hint of irony. No, these two facts can't possibly be related!

Would an expansive China pose a threat to New Zealand? Or an expansive Islamic world?

Agreed. Recidivism can only be remedied by longer periods of incarceration. Getting the criminals off of the streets for a long time is the best way to reduce crime rates.

These will not help against the autonomous quadcoptor drones I will launch.

Sorry I wrote you a reply but got interrupted and must have deleted it by mistake.

In my first post I wasn’t referring to you and me. I have ideas of my own and you obviously do too.

I am just saying that I don’t quite see why some rich pr-—k (and he is entitled to be both, I like money too) thinks he will be safe if things really get tough in a hard, dry, cold land where many still remember how to live by the law of the gun.

He may be heavily guarded for a time but there is no incentive whatsoever for his chief of security not to decide he wants to be chief of it all.

I am way too wonderful to bother with modesty. Why be modest when you are God’s gift to humanity? I am perfect in every way.

From my listening to him talking about this topic, he’s left it in the realm of the “ambiguous”.
