privacy and some invasions thereof

People like me often consider what we may or may not do that facilitates organized capturing of information about us, our activities, and even our thoughts. Nobody wants to think along these lines, but many recognize it would be foolhardy to never consider such. Either you buy the product or you are the product. Faceplant is an example along this line. Their overtly paying customers are the advertisers. Regular participants are the audience, the product. Most likely there are other customers who receive the meta-data on all users. The activities, expressed opinions, interpersonal contacts build portfolios of interest, not necessarily [or likely] for our benefit. “The cloud” is another innocuous benefit offered without overt cost to its users. Considering […]

The global slave e-currency is in the rollout phase

– takers and leavers in similar numbers Gregory Mannarino, known to some as The Robin Hood of Wall Street, produced a good snapshot of where we are in this process. The short version is that the rollout of a global e-currency, led by the owners of the Fed is already underway. They are getting the slaves accustomed to dependence on Big Brother for everything, and electronic transactions as the norm, soon to be The Only Way… your access to your money will be available only when, where and how they want you to have it. Every dystopian novel and movie touching on this subject will come true in the real world. Except for those of us who have other […]

pedophilia, human trafficking horribly widespread

I meant to change the subject for today, but had a lot of links, articles and bits to share on the subject. Here, as well as my recent two posts, I will keep it out of the gross zone. Even this cursory view is awful, but the totality is awfuller. The good news is that, thanks to The Sound of Freedom and other efforts, there is some public awareness building, and with that some hope for reducing the scourge. alter of the basilica of Santa Maria Assunta While human slavery and trafficking in slaves is many centuries old the modern power brokers have raised the volume and sadism to what I suspect are new heights. Hopefully public awareness can shrink […]

The Sound of Freedom

Today we make one of our rare treks to Missoula specifically to see a movie … well, that and to lend our support to this anti-hollywood-establishment movie that is breaking attendance records. The Sound of Freedom is on track to break $100,000,000, yes a hundred million dollars in box office receipts tomorrow. Disney studios and others kept this production in a dark closet for five years after it was completed. Angel Studios captured the rights to it, and came up with an unusual crowd-funded distribution system that is currently succeeding phenomenally. Angel Studios selected Independence Day for its public release. Hollyweird opened their potentially giant Raiders of the Lost Ark to head it off that same day. Instead of […]

Independence Day

I cannot simply let it pass, but I have other things I wanna get done today. I have written, published, shared numerous essays on the subject, but that is just because I want people to consider what independence means to us as a culture as well as individually. It is a mind set, a spirit, a way of thinking, a whole approach to life. Independent people are complete. Others do not even understand what they are missing. Celebrate today by doing what you want. Be self directed, ungovernable. Fershur do not obey the rules and demands of your inferiors … those who have wormed their way into public pronouncement roles. Here are links and excerpts from what I previously […]

Censoring the census

Sigh… apparently my turn came up again for special attention from the USofA Census Bureau. I received bonus letters in the mail, phone calls, Agent Smith visits and, today a FEDEX overnight letter soliciting my participation in their extra-curricular data mining program. Their constitutional mandate is to count the number of people in each household within the borders of our country once every decade. All else is what our Army calls “mission creep”, Libertarians call “government over-reach” and computer geeks call “data mining”. Regardless of the title, I am not keen on contributing to their dossier on me any more than I have to. The last time the Census Bureau decided to dance with me was September 2010 – […]

Bitterroot Bugle under attack

This website is constantly under attack. Perhaps adolescents trying their hand at hacking because some teens like tipping over outhouses, making messes and destroying the productivity of others… but I doubt it. A more likely possibility is someone hoping to hack in so they can make their marketing pitches to my small audience… I doubt that one as well. I am a tiny voice among those who are hacking at the root of the evil that is trying to destroy humanity, nature and life in this otherwise beautiful world. They would love to swat this mosquito … along with other annoyances both small and large. A few weeks ago I received notification of a bigger than normal attack sent […]

scary white riflemen

The beings who wish unrestricted rule over the 3% of us who survive their ongoing genocide have a problem… actually more like 130,000,000 problems. Gun owners are not likely to give up their families, homes, belongings to climb into the cattle cars. Armed resistance works a heckuva lot better than cut flowers and peace signs. They know this. Despite my headline, this is really not a racial issue, though since the beginning of the Gay Kenyan illegal White House occupation, race has deliberately become a divisive issue and white MEN are their specific enemies – putting us on the front lines whether we want it or not. This comes up, tediously, again because their disarmament attempts come up again. […]

Communications Basics

Two-way radio communications is a tremendous subject that can and does carry people in many directions. Certainly among the most important are field communications to and from tactical and reconnaissance teams, particularly with some semblance of security or privacy to the information thereby exchanged. Particularly well suited to teaching this fine art is NC Scout. He recently published a book on the subject: The Guerrilla’s Guide To The Baofeng Radio, which I recommend and am buying myself. He also has a web page covering a whole lot more range. I share the outline below, but encourage you to go to the source. Simply click the linked heading. – Ted – The Foundation: Squaring Away Communications Basics Improvised Field Antennas The […]

motorcyclist VS 50 BMG

According to Calculator Soup dot-com, the momentum of 170-pound human at 60 miles-per-hour is 14,955 foot pounds of energy. Famously the most powerful, devastating rifle round available in this country to regular people is the 50 BMG (aka 50-cal). Introduced in 1921, and still highly respected for its devastating force, it averages 13,241 foot pounds of force. Tough choice. Suffice to say I don’t want to get hit by either, but notice the similarity – both are A LOT of energy. I decided to research this while reading a discussion of safety gear for motorcyclists. Novices think of helmets and consider the topic closed. Oh no. Armored jackets, pants, gloves AND boots are considered “All The Gear All The […]

State of the Planet

In the video I posted July 30th, I promised that links to much of my source material would be found here. I am doing that now. In nearly every case I have put details and links in my prior posts, so I am taking a shortcut with that as you will see. I am greatly impressed that the creators of The Georgia Guidestones used one of their Directed Energy Weapons to take down their edifice. Nobody else could have done it. The real question we cannot answer quite yet is WHY? As with all they do, it is not in our best interest. They are not doing us any favors. The Food Plant Fires is another story I covered with […]

AFLDS’ Frontline News Roundup

After numerous invitations piled up in my e-mail box, I finally got around to listening to a couple of their weekly news roundups. As good news summary’s do, they are succinct, accurate and potentially steer the listener to further investigation on a topic or two. A whole lot of what is going on to destroy life, liberty and property is being ignored, covered up and outright censored. This news is not afraid to expose those. I encourage you to give one or two a listen … perhaps even becoming a regular listener and even a supporter.   Dear Ted, Please take 5-minutes today to listen to AFLDS’ Frontline News Roundup. This short podcast will give you a quick snapshot of […]

When the Census comes knocking

In 2010 the US Census Bureau was grossly overstepping its bounds, exceeding the Constitutional mandate by A BUNCH. Being a serious Libertarian advocate, I drew their attention. Today a local friend has found himself in a similar position. Maybe some of you have as well. I published the following in Idaholibery.com on September 21st, 2010. It is what worked for me then and there. Your Mileage May Vary . found my line By Ted Dunlap, on September 21st, 2010 Many of us have wondered where their line in the sand is. At what point do you finally stop retreating? The U.S. Census folks sent us a four-page form in, I think, April. We returned it completed with the information the […]

Montana Supreme Court races

Dear MSSA Friends, What’s up with the races for the Montana Supreme Court (MSC)? Great question. First, some background. The MSC is one of the last bastions of politically liberal power in Montana. The left has lost all the statewide offices and the Legislature because of the left’s practiced irrelevance. What power the left holds on to, so far, is the education industry, some local governments, and the MSC. The MSC is made up of seven justices, a Chief Justice, and six Associate Justices. They are all elected to staggered eight-year terms. Two of those seats are up for election this election cycle. Two of the sitting justices are thought to be neutral or conservative. The remaining and dominant seven […]
