Odds are Sam enjoyed that whole experience way more than we are going to enjoy the multiple high hard ones the Progtards are trying to inflict on everyone.
We are waaay past this thing going kinetic.
It’s going to create a little over 200 Supernovas, with the event horizons described by the county lines of those counties that are majority Dildocrat.
Your survival will depend on complete preemptive eradication of the threats. (You do have your targeting folders, Tango lists, Bingo cards, and decks of playing cards thoroughly researched and prepared, don’t you?)
And in spite of repeated new monthly sales records for firearms: Unless you require a forklift to move and stow your firearms and ammunition, you do not yet own enough of either.
When (not if) the Stupidity starts, be prepared for an average daily usage rate of 700 rounds with peak rates of 1,800 rounds per hour for at least 90 days. Yes, you can try and field strip the dead, only to find that they are carrying poor quality, cheap ass hand loads of some obscure caliber you can’t use. Which is a major contributing factor as to why they are dead.
When the lead is flying, if you do not decisively annihilate the threat within 90 seconds, you have to break contact and MOVE, because if you remain in one position for two minutes in a firefight, your chances of becoming a casualty approach 100%.
In particular the first 96 hours will be intense as the 20% of the population that is completely hooked on any number of legal an illegal substances, including but not limited to alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine, are forced to go cold turkey and get themselves and a whole lot of bystanders killed while they are desperately in search of their next fix.
Also, any ammunition you may have purchased and taken possession of that is NOT already in magazines, or better yet, ready to feed belts, is not really yours, it is still in your supply system.
Even with stripper clips and speed loaders, reloading magazines in a hostile environment is neither easy nor fun.
If you’ve stuck with me this far, by now you realize that this particular future violates the laws of physics because it will suck and blow, big time, simutumultuouly. Doesn’t matter, because if nothing is done, it SHALL happen.
Which is why we need to unceasingly redouble our efforts to peacefully remove progtards from all facets of public life, including politics, the media, education, entertainment, the military, and government employment, before it goes kinetic. As impossible as the task may sound it is far preferable to the violence that otherwise will soon be upon us all.
Well shiite. In my neighborhood, it is loaded with barely functioning, or the vapor locked because of Gun! Then there are the Massholes with proud demonrat stickers. Thanks, covid. So the local gangs will probably start sweeping areas when the SHTF, Thus my wife and i will face gangs similar to a farmer/homesteader vs. the local POed Indian tribe. Probably will not get to burn too many HV projectiles.
What if this has the beef component virus?
They hit us, then chickens, now disease from south of border (unknown or not seen in ages) a threat to cause beef killoff .
Trying to make meat protein rare and expensive so bugs look good.
Ask yourself. “How many fast food companies are experimenting with bug based menus in secret?”
It’s then that their next move can be predicted.
I’ve never been happy to be 80-odd yrs old…..but this upcoming scenario involving nukes is making it so. God save you young-bloods ’cause no-one else will — other than yourselves.
He may have played the role of Dr. Strangelove, but we now have pResident Strangelove. But even in that film, Peter Sellers made more sense than what comes out of the dc house today.
Doesn’t Montana have an Air National Guard? Why hasn’t Governor Dutton (Kevin Costner) shot that thing down yet? It would save the day and give the vapors to the Washington idiots.
Some people did something over Montana…And it went BOOM! Why would so many U.S. politicians collude with China for short term monetary gain and the simultaneous loss of liberty? Judahs all.
What if the military got wind of the fact that the balloon harbors a virus that would be released if it were shot down…..nah….that’s giving those nimrods way too much credit and credibility…
I wonder why the Powers That BE didn’t throw a ton or two of lead at this balloon when it was over the ocean by Bering Sea? Or when it was approaching mainland Alaska?
I know Trudeau the Younger would rather eat his own tongue than offend Chairman Xi so I’m not surprised the Canuck Armed Forces didn’t do anything.
There exist systems for recovering the payloads under balloons, they’ve been available and used since the 1930’s if not earlier.
My questions is: “why is everyone clamouring for it to be ‘shot down’ rather than collected and whatever it’s carrying inspected ?”
Is there a fear china would take this as justification to collect US satellites in orbit ? they don’t need any justification, they’ll just do it as soon as they have the capability…if they haven’t done it already.
Nope, this is either an exercise to test the resolve of a potential opponent, to let the political leaders publicly prove their acquiescence to the ccp, or as has been speculated, the next ‘covid’ outbreak although it’s a pretty crude and very traceable method of doing that so it’s pretty unlikely.
If it’s a test of defence systems, giving them any information on weapons systems capabilities other than a quarter second burst of 20mm from altitude would be a gross waste of money and a direct intelligence gift.
Or it’s intended to sow a little more dissent among the populace, that never hurts any cause, or quite possibly it is a routine ‘weather balloon’, something most countries use but which generally ‘pop’ at altitude or after a pre-determined time, that the media is using to distract us from something else…anything happening that we should have heard about in the news but didn’t ?
There are several groups and institutions that launch high altitude balloons on a regular if not daily basis, this one is great fun to read just so long as you remember their data may have been filtered for ‘global warming’ purposes, it doesn’t look like it would be deliberate but they do use gov’t numbers for some things. I read it pretty much daily, mostly when the media goes foolish over an ‘incoming killer asteroid’, one the size of a pickup truck that’s going to miss us by a hundred thousand miles anyway.
Hear, hear. Why not collect the payload and do an analysis to see what it was collecting? The excuse about the debris is pure BS, as others have said, why not eliminate it prior to overflying CONUS? Something’s rotten in Denmark…
A scenario I read of last night: itcould be carrying a large EMP device that would trigger itself if a missile locked on. Could take out a very large area from 60,000 ft.
Another option is that it’s a psy op. But I’ve read of another over South America somewhere this morning. More psy op?
Either way, Too Tall’s got the solution and the application well stated.
For the ChiComs and their paid operatives here then yeah, had plenty of time to download whatever was downloadable, do an internal wipe of any critical crap, and sink it in the ocean to help wipe away any virtual fingerprints…
For Americans and freedom lovers everywhere, not so much, see reasons above…nothing left to see here.
I don’t know about theater, but yeah, bad actors out the ass.

Well dang. That ain’t your standard Too Tall drive-by comment hit is it? A whole sudden pent-up gusher of truth and cautionary commentary there.
Is that why this one is signed Too Ta instead? Kind of a militant alter ego?

Somehow in the process I deleted the “L” twice before I posted. Fixed it for future posts.
Well it wasn’t Wayne but me who speculated, and I am crushed that I was wront…:(

Gen. Jack Keane made a pretty important statement, “we didn’t just know about this yesterday” he spoke about NORAD.

Reports are something happened over Montana tonight. But Dod said it was over Kansas earlier today. Hmmm.

So much for “Homeland Security” I guess?

I know Trudeau the Younger would rather eat his own tongue than offend Chairman Xi so I’m not surprised the Canuck Armed Forces didn’t do anything.
I find it interesting that the US govt would have little hesitation in shooting down an airliner full of people if they felt it was a threat…
But this pretty much paralyses them.
As for Justin, he’s been away on “personal” days for all this.

Now this: DoD Says the “Size of the Payload” on the China Surveillance Balloon is Why They Are Not Taking It Down.
Since NORAD has been tracking it since it left China, some piss-poor-prior-planning not to take it down as it entered U.S. Coastal waters.
