Free Republic

During the years when I was more likely to encounter heavy hogs 300+ lbs, it was 30 calibers and 44 mag pistol.

The rifles were bolt 30-06 and 308 M14 (Norinco). Those two finally settled with Nosler Balistic Tips and Rem Bronze Points. Both had good penitration, expended all their energy quickly and did not deform in the mag due to recoil.

The pistol was more fun to experiment with. With diameter of .429 for most projectiles, the large surface area left the choice to either penitration or expend energy, not both.

After fun with HP's and SP’s, the damage they can do and their limitations I moved on to hard cast. Buddy and I found just one brand and stuck with it…KEAD in 215 grain and 240 grn. out of The Colony, Texas. This was in the mid 90’s. The choice of the weights went to 215 grn which choreographed out of my Red Hawks @1900 fps…no gas check nor leading of barrel. The second fastest 44mag load was my 180grn JHP @1600fps.

Gold is the single resource mentioned here but not the only resources extracted from the New and Developing world by colonial powers and after industrialization….their financial and political elites

Africa even now is throwing out the French who have kept generations of African men women and children working in toxic pits to send uranium cobalt lithium and other minerals to France and Europe. The Brits contributed the bureacracies…political financial military and trade controls ….that established political maps and created “national” leaders in newly created countries, that ensured control…the natives kept producing the resources that enriched Europe and its banks ….even establishing compliant ‘monarchies” in the Arab world that controlled the domestic populations and kept the oil flowing ….only America successfully rebelled from being part of the Empire.

Yes!

And one country NOT asking for reparations from Great Britain is Singapore. It makes sense, its real per capita income is higher than GB.

In the early 1960’s many African countries had higher real per capita incomes then Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, and Singapore. Leadership, support of free enterprise, property rights, and minimal corruption matter.

I have never heard of this magazine.

Here is the author's bio:

Michael Peck writes about defense and international security issues, as well as military history and wargaming. His work has appeared in Defense News, Foreign Policy Magazine, Politico, National Defense Magazine, The National Interest, Aerospace America and other publications. He holds an MA in Political Science from Rutgers University. (Nothing is said about his Military Industrial Industry Experience)

exactly!

if if being a colony was SO bad... then how come a former colony is now the richest most powerful in the world? (us)

simply supply and demand. Land is a limit resource, while demand continues to go up as the population increases.

This results in land always going up in value over time with the population.

There is a lot of crazy in that screed

I watched about 2 minutes. Didn’t see anything interesting. Many comments without follow through.

As obvious as who killed JFK?

“You took their gold, you enslaved their people, you forced people to work in the gold mines and that sort of thing. That’s how Europe got rich. That’s how the UK got rich. And so that’s the historical pattern for 500 years. 500 years of colonialism.”
In North America the Indians were not enslaved, and they didn’t have any gold. The English and French came as farmers and fur trappers and traders and to escape religious persecution. This article is a load of C**P.

WIKI [Galactooligosaccharide]

Because of the configuration of their glycosidic bonds, galactooligosaccharides largely resist hydrolysis by salivary and intestinal digestive enzymes. Galactooligosaccharides are classified as prebiotics, defined as non-digestible food ingredients as substrate for the host by stimulating the growth and activity of bacteria in the colon.

The increased activity of colonic bacteria results in various effects, both directly by the bacteria themselves or indirectly by producing short-chain fatty acids as byproducts via fermentation. Examples of effects are stimulation of immune functions, absorption of essential nutrients, and synthesis of certain vitamins.

Stimulating bacteria

Galactooligosaccharides are a substrate for bacteria, such as Akkermansia muciniphila, Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Studies with infants and adults have shown that foods or drinks enriched with galactooligosaccharides result in a significant increase in Bifidobacteria. These sugars can be found naturally in human milk, known as human milk oligosaccharides. Examples include lacto-N-tetraose, lacto-N-neotetraose, and lacto-N-fucopentaose.

Immune response

Human gut microbiota play a key role in the intestinal immune system. Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) support natural defenses of the human body via the gut microflora, indirectly by increasing the number of bacteria in the gut and inhibiting the binding or survival of Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium and Clostridia. GOS can positively influence the immune system indirectly through the production of antimicrobial substances, reducing the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria.

NOTE: I’m not saying these are bad. But they, their administration, the withdrawal of their administration and their effects should be studied carefully.

the only thing wrong with this supposed plan is that the rich vacinate their kids too.

And are maybe in fact more likely to do so.

It is obvious who killed Kirk, and pretty obvious WHY. None of which had anything to do with TPUSA, Trump or Jews!

30.06 but you knew that.

China advanced submarine = they removed the screen door.

It is not politically correct to talk about Muslim colonialization. All of the current and past world problems are due to greedy white European and USA males. To suggest otherwise does not get you tenure at most American universities or a chance to run for office as a Demorat.

Conceptual thinking will be a challenge

Could but nope

Thank you for posting this.
Very thought provoking.

The global climate scam and green movements run by uber wealthy elites are another way to extract and transfer wealth while managing control of the middle class ….also a weapon of war used against the industrialized world by competitors seeking resource control and market monopoly ( chiiina cough cough )

30.96? I haven’t seen that caliber before.
