After scanning its face again and again,
I began to scale it, picking my holds
With intense caution. About half-way
To the top, I was suddenly brought to
A dead stop, with arms outspread
Clinging close to the face of the rock
Unable to move hand or foot
Either up or down. My doom
Appeared fixed. I MUST fall.
There would be a moment of
Bewilderment, and then,
A lifeless rumble down the cliff
To the glacier below.
My mind seemed to fill with a
Stifling smoke. This terrible eclipse
Lasted only a moment, when life blazed
Forth again with preternatural clearness.
I seemed suddenly to become possessed
Of a new sense. My trembling muscles
Became firm again, every rift and flaw in
The rock was seen as through a microscope,
My limbs moved with a positiveness and precision
With which I seemed to have
Nothing at all to do.
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

American’s are stuck in a voting spin loop. They vote over and over for the same lame leaders. Until they get up off their lazy voting butts the spin loop will go on for ever. Sorry to tell you but until things fall down around our ears, no one will be punished in Washington. We are just cows, content just getting by with an occasional swat at the flies with our tails. Those in power keep us fed and watered just enough to keep us passive. Tell your daughter to just accept life as a cow, the rich will stay rich and the poor will stay just on the edge of contentment. If she wants the good life go into politics and adjust to herding the little weakly cows around their pens and never worry about the cows existence.
We won’t get another chance like this again. This either works or we lose, permanently
I’m lining up next to Uncle Mikey. Throw the book at them, hundreds and thousands of them if necessary. Anybody complain or get all weepy, tell them “Shut up, they should be swinging from a tree!” Anybody says “This is not who we are…”, tell them “Right, we are indeed civilized and forgiving… that’s why they’re not swinging from a tree!” And be sure to take any opportunity to ask why we should we be worried about criminals and not about the survival of our society, which is mostly not criminals?”
Because a society that will not take the reasonable and prudent steps required to protect itself from criminals will eventually fall to them.
That being said, I think the “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” approach has some merit. A full, public, detailed, and abject confession, including strong remorse as evidenced by the ratting out of co-conspirators, may qualify you for a conditional pardon… the condition being never being involved again in government or politics!
Granger Supply sells 1 inch hemp rope for $2.426 per foot in 600 foot spools. Perhaps we need to buy a half dozen spools and start bringing some of these traitors to the justice they deserve. For less than 50 bucks apiece the problem will be solved. Any remaining rope should be used as a deterrent to others who hold the constitution too lightly.
I like the Taxi Hack, and if I remember correctly, I first became internet-acquainted with him when our host posted this epic…..

However, if you read through to the end of The Pig Trap, I’m kinda thinking that **most** of us are in the trap engorging ourselves on the free corn. There are damn few, wheher inside or outside, who are trying to bash down the Trap. So here, where the Hack asks “What happens if nothing happens?”, I think the answer is obvious: More of the same.
That America elected Trump is a good sign, but that being said, the Deep State has been doing a good job of protecting itself. I wish I could be more optimistic, but I just don’t see it yet.
Roger, let’s not overreact! 3/4” hemp is plenty strong enough, no need to go overboard with 1”, sir!
What happens if nothing happens?
Nothing.
“…where is the line?”
==============
At my property line, of course.
And maybe my neighbors property line, the only other person on this planet I would trust my life to, and would risk my life for, other than my wife.
Basic trust has been destroyed in this country, maybe it’s called cultural adhesion or some other fancy name. Societal unity. It doesn’t exist any more. The results of too many people with nothing in common. It seems like every man for himself.
FWIW, amazon has 550 7 strand paracord for about $10 per 100′ hank and that is more than adequate for stringing 2 legged bull elephants from tree limbs and setting them on fire. If they weigh more than 550 double it up. No trees in Urbania? No problem. Trailer hitches work fine and no heavy lifting required though you do miss out on that aerial dance routine. A good drag though is quite a sight. Lot’s of screemin’ and gymnastics, bring the kids and a picnic basket!
You didn’t go back far enough. There was the murder of a woman under surveillance by an FBI sniper at Ruby Ridge in 1992. (She was holding a baby.) Then there was the mass murder of men, women and children by the FBI in Waco in 1993.
We should go back to the FBI’s founding in 1908. It was famously corrupt when Hoover took over in 1924. He never cleaned it up; he just gave it new targets, many political opponents. He files would be interesting, but like the KGB’s they are mostly of historical interest now.
Our Deep State is utterly corrupt and lawless, not only in regards to money and power, but also in sexual perversion, especially pedophilia. (See Podesta brothers.) It is also delusional and paranoid. (Russiagate) It has control of an aggressive, expansionist American Empire, and it is conducting a war of terror all over Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. The Philippines and Indonesia appear to be next. Its military is soft and incompetent and not a little cowardly, and it cannot defeat lightly armed Third World militias. But, never mind, we can crush Russia and China.
Is anyone who matters taking note of the turbulence underneath the surface or are we all just having revenge fantasies? The continuing empty resolution and equally empty representation cannot be far removed from that of 1860, except the borders now are more cultural than geographic. I will not be surprised if the first strike is from the establishment types against restless patriots demanding answers, finally, to the decades of corruption and deceit. I will also not be surprised to see that lying and deceitful throng waltz away unscathed and retire rich with not a care in the world, noses in the air and brimming with self-satisfaction and confidence in their philosophy. Stern voices protesting the injustice, comments on patriotic blogs like mine on this one, millions of signatures on petitions, hand-made signs held high during parades, earnestly shouted slogans, Gadsen flags, 2nd Amendment banners are all quaint but useless symbols against the armory of the tyranny we face.
And please do not lecture about the “power of the ballot box”. That power is fettered when one empty suit with a goddam law degree after another is enriched by the office until he, too, can retire after having made much heat and no light. Nice work if you can get it.
Unless some action is taken to propel the offices with powers of arrest to make those arrests, then anything we do short of insurrection is mental masturbation. So we are faced with a choice: By strong persuasion make the argument for immediate action, legally and justly. Or read our history and determine the best course.
Either way, but I believe we are quickly running out of time.
Here’s another one that will be ignored.

But she’s a girl and a democrat and on the side of the angels.
What if nothing happens??
We willdo what good men have always done. We’ll take care of our families the best that we can and focus on our immediate circle of friends. We’ll put off creating a western version of Syria…..in our own country…..as long as humanly possible. Because a revolution with today’s weapons would be something no man ever wants to see. We will pray that God almighty leads us to the right decisions. And when finally backed into a corner…….we will fight. But that day…….is still a long way off.
There is still a lot of contingency left in the situation. With TRUMP in the White House……this party is just getting started.
Incumbeciles all, Perry.
I think this is exactly what is going to happen. The solution is to appoint about six special prosecutors (one for each Obama crime/scandal, and not the whimpy Ken Starr type but real bulldogs. Because a special prosecutor can actually prosecute someone while all the congressmen in the world cannot and do not. If we fail and i’m sure we will, than when the left gets power again they will double down on their criminal politics.
None of us know to what degree these reprobate sons-of bitches will be pursued or punished but based upon past performance, I’d say that there isn’t a snowball’s chance in Hell that Hillary or Obama, Jarrett, Holder or any of these others who IMHO deserve to have their necks stretched permanently will ever see any justice.
They all beg for it on their knees but it won’t happen.
Sorry but trying to read white on black is extremely tiring for this old man.
That’s a reverse pic of a Beretta 92FS Inox with disfunctional grips.
Stippled or stay home.
Let’s have an (armed) March on Washington! With Rope!
First things first: trade the girly 9mm for anything in .45ACP.
Then, let’s talk.
