Apocalypse Now: The Government’s Use Of Controlled-Chaos To Maintain Power
Authored by John and Nisha Whitehead via The Rutherford Institute, Figure One: Just stop a few of their machines and radios and telephones and lawn mowers…throw them into darkness for a few hours and then you just sit back and watch the pattern. Figure Two: And this pattern is always the same? Figure One: WithContinue reading “Apocalypse Now: The Government’s Use Of Controlled-Chaos To Maintain Power”
Ukraine’s Leopard 2 Tanks Are Nearly All Destroyed Or Broken
This is some interesting stuff. It shows the hubris that went along with the hype of the idea of the super western heavy tanks. When up against a nation with similar resources they don’t do as well as compared to fighting in the middle east against old soviet tanks outdated by 30 years. Of course its more thanContinue reading “Ukraine’s Leopard 2 Tanks Are Nearly All Destroyed Or Broken”
7.62 NATO, Turning cover into concealment since…. well, not as often as you may think.
Almost anywhere you go on the internet and read about guns used for combat or defense you will find the guys who will tell you that to kill anything bigger then a cat, you need the .308 . Often this is followed up with the smarmy little quip, “308 turning cover into concealment since 1953.” Continue reading “7.62 NATO, Turning cover into concealment since…. well, not as often as you may think.”
Those Who Forget the Past, AR-15 Edition
By Kevin O’Brien A couple of days ago we followed a link from The Gun Feed to the Michigan-based gun blog 248 Shooters.com. (We’re guessing 248 is an MI area code? The way the Workshop Eating Plane® will have “603” in its N Number?). Anyway, the article was a short and to the point gear review of anContinue reading “Those Who Forget the Past, AR-15 Edition”
US Debt Hits A Record $34.001 Trillion
From Zerohedge The US Treasury has a morbid habit of revealing big, round numbers of debt around major calendar milestones, and the new 2024 year was no different because according to the latest Treasury Daily Statement published after the close today and reflecting the US Treasury’s financial statements as of Dec 29, 2023, total USContinue reading “US Debt Hits A Record $34.001 Trillion”
Belleville Jungle Boots
Santa was really cool this year and delivered me a new pair of jungle boots. Not the lame brown or all black ones that are forced on us from 157 years or the US military wasting its time in the desert. No, These are proper colored, OD green jungle boots. It was just in theContinue reading “Belleville Jungle Boots”

HK’s Other 4.6: the HK36 in 4.6 x 36
By Kevin O’Brien Around 1970, Heckler & Koch was doing well, but their restless engineers were thinking: what’s next? One thing we learn from history is that no weapons system lasts forever, and there was maybe one more go-around in the company’s present line of roller-locked weapons, trading some militaries’ 7.62 NATO weapons for 5.56 NATO ones. ButContinue reading “HK’s Other 4.6: the HK36 in 4.6 x 36”
Two Gulf Wars!
While looking at some gun pages on instagram, I ran across this gem that is hilarious to me. But not in the way they intended it to be. Millennials and zoomers have literally become the meme they love to use over the 1911. The M9 is the pistol they grew up with the military havingContinue reading “Two Gulf Wars!”
