So it works like this:
1. Require government contractors who build all the wonderful arms that empower or great military to make all their employees get a dangerous vaccine
2. Said vaccine starts to sicken and kill said employees or employees quit rather than die.
3. Companies start to fail to deliver and become much less profitable and decrease in value.
4. Employees of said companies sue them for damages
5. Said companies go bankrupt
6. No more American military industrial complex
7. China wins

Something to think about:
National Parks, National Forest, and BLM land is all federal property. The issue there is enforcement. I can say from personal experience that the National Forest in Virginia is patrolled mainly by Virginia Game Wardens. I have yet to see any of them wearing a mask and no executive order from Xiden is going to change that.

Oh, and the Mall in D.C. as well as a lot of the area there is federal property. The double whammy there is that when the fences come down (if they ever really do come down) the district has an all mask mandate. Hilarious except if you happen to work in the area.

Nope - just remove them from the market but leave it in the account. It can be done with a phone call to institution that is managing your retirement fund.

You did note “capital preservation” right? There are a lot of ways to do that. The main point is to get out of the market.. i.e. defunding the massive corporations that make up our new oligarchy.
Good point on cash though - in the long term getting out of cash and into real commodities is a good move, as well as the strategies others have noted here. In the short term (1-2 months) moving to cash won’t hurt you too much I think..

Yes I am..

I assumed from discussions on my local forum where they were talking about repeater logs that recording was a common feature. I have since learned that is not true.. Bummer, since the disk space needed to do that is so damn cheap.

I would be shocked of its not an available feature of software used to run repeaters.. Obviously I don’t have any first hand knowledge of how to set up a repeater.. Something I would like to remedy.

The short answer is no.. There is no legal radio you can use without a license to go that distance..

However there are a couple of exceptions. In a real emergency, anyone can use any frequency to call for help, so if you have the radio, you can use it, no license required.

Secondly, A tech license is easy to get. Literally you just have to spend a week or so running through the practice test, and you will pass the real one, given by your local hams. You don’t really need more than a vague understanding of the jargon or theory to pass. Once you have that you can get one of the local hams to help you set up your cheap baofeng (available from Amazon). Naturally, everyone in your family that will be carrying a radio will need to be licensed.

Once you have that, most areas have one or more repeaters near enough to boost your signal so you can communicate over your metro area. These are set up and run by your local ham clubs or private operators.

So this was circulating in my local ham group after it was noted that a repeater in Fairfax was shut down during the capitol incident. Its not clear who or what was using the repeater. In general the repeaters record every time they are used, so it shouldn’t be too hard for the operators to publish what the offending usage was.. If they haven’t been told not to due to an ongoing investigation. Its also not clear who shut down the repeater.. My guess is it was just one more example of the massive over reaction.

Here’s the thing.. Antifa posers are not going to use the repeaters.. They are going to be using their baeofeng radios in simplex for a lot of reasons.. So my guess is that the repeaters were being used by the people at the rally as an alternative to the overloaded cell network.. A contingency discussed here. Cutting off the repeater was similar to cutting off the cell service.. Another way of contributing to the chaos.

It sounds good, but..

Ultimately the report goes to Barr (and possibly some functionaries in the DOD) for action. I’m very sure Barr will ‘investigate’ very, very thoroughly. So thoroughly that it just won’t get done before Biden is sworn in and Barr steps down.

The question here is who will doing the seizing and the arresting? I don’t have much faith that anyone currently in Trumps administration will have the gonads to act on this executive order.

I’m also not confident that the report itself will be anything but a whitewash.

They don’t call it the “deep state” for nothing!

I sincerely don’t think the mail in ballots will swing the totals in the numbers and the places they need due to the (as yet in place) electoral college. Instead I think they have gone all in for the low turn out vote gambit, aided by COVID restrictions. What’s scary is they have a pretty good chance of pulling it off. They only need one cycle to tank the electoral college and seize control for the foreseeable future.

Anyone remember the churn when he was picking a VP? He had the press and everyone else looking one way while he reached out and made the awesome choice of Pence. Yes, this is something of a different process because there is a lot more riding on it, but don’t discount Trump the showman here playing 3D chess in a game he has been thinking about since he was nominated. Nothing he says matters until the actual nomination happens.

I am really hoping that Trump and Cocaine Mitch are already playing 3D chess here and can make this happen. That being said, I don’t think their nominee should be based on sex or the color of their skin, but by the content of their character and their qualifications. On that note, why not go with the most famous constitutionalist in the country: Mark Levin? The confirmation hearings alone would be epic!
