Terror event in the UK:
Another terrorist suicide bombing, this time at the entrance to a packed entertainment arena, just as a popular concert ended. At least twenty two dead on the spot (a number sure to go up), fifty nine injured.
For those souls, in the unlikely event Western Civilization ever gets serious about terrorism, it is already too late. For the rest of us, it is time to reevaluate our lifestyles and routines, once more!
There is no logical reason to believe these attacks upon the innocent in the UK, Western Europe, and CONUS will diminish any time soon, nor is there any reason to believe that governments will do anything effective to stop them!
There is “security,” and there is “security theater.” We have precious little of the former, far too much of the latter. We see the results!
Given the foregoing:
1) Beware of crowds! My advice is to stay away from concerts, sporting events, large gatherings of any kind, particularly those with a political or religious theme, particularly Christian and Jewish. When you must go, keep your head up and stay sober. Don’t get too far from the door. When you see “trouble in the making,” get out of there!
2) Carry a trauma kit! During a shooting or bombing attack, many wounded and immobile remain untreated for an hour or more. It may be a while before any kind of medical help arrives. Many bleed-out in the interim! Tourniquets, IBD’s, and Combat Gauze are literal lifesavers, but only when you have them with you and are practiced in their use!
3) Go armed! There is no “substitute” for loaded guns that you can get into action instantly. There are some forms of evil that cannot be adequately repelled short of gunfire. You must be prepared and ready to deliver it, with precision and adequate volume. Places where I can’t be armed, such as nightclubs and theme parks, I don’t go!
4) Don’t go anywhere without your cell phone! They don’t always work, but in an emergency your ability to communicate will be critical to your survival. In addition, dress so that you can walk several miles when necessary, on gravel. Have cash, credit cards. Carry a tactical flashlight.
5) Forget offshore travel for the foreseeable future, particularly to the UK, Europe, anywhere in the Middle East, Mexico and anywhere in South America. Even when traveling domestically, keep informed, keep your head up. Stay away from big metro areas, particularly NYC, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Memphis, and a host of others. Be prepared to cancel travel plans, even at the last minute, when there are genuine safety concerns.
6) Understand that you’re on your own! Police do what they can, but “protection” is not going to follow you around like an obedient puppy. The one, and the only one, who will be called upon to save your life, is going to be you. You’re going to have to learn to live with that!
Western Civilization has still not woken-up, and may never! Down here in peon-land, Operators don’t wait for “permission.” We look-after our own best interests, and we don’t apologize!
“Now remember, when things look bad, and it looks as if you’re not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. Because, when you lose your head, and you give up, then you ain’t gonna win, and your ain’ t gonna live. That’s just the way it is.” ~ Josey Wales (played by Clint Eastwood) in the 1976 feature film, “The Outlaw Josey Wales”

Quit avoiding the obvious folks. Islam is evil and Allah is really satan. Read Revelations and find out whats happening. Its all there.
They weren’t in their bunks, they were outside dropping all over the property… Boated like dead possums in no time.
Writings from said pilots was no desire to kill themselves nor were they society’s losers but felt they had an unwavering duty to the Emperor.
P.S. It’s long been proven people can’t be brainwashed. Presumably you’re talking about a “false consciousness.”
@Oldvet – I absolutely agree that they are brainwashed, but that alone, while it may make them misguided, doesn’t make them “cowards,” BUT, you raise another interesting point, something I never even thought of til reading your post, and one which DOES suggest cowardice on their part. That’s the part about their desire to get 72 virgins as an element of going to paradise. Why would they desire virgins as opposed to say, sexually experienced former hookers – who could be expected to show them a MUCH better time between the sheets? I suspect that the primary reason a male… Read more »
@OV, Seventy-two! Are they not thinking of the logistics of that situation?
@OV, Jim Jones.
I’m fascinated b y the constant reference to these suicide bombers as “cowards.” Much as I dislike them, I can see no evidence of cowardice in their attacks. They go into the battle knowing that they will perish for their cause in the process, and if an American did something like that, say threw himself on a grenade, we would give him a posthumous award for bravery. We laud the Biblical statement about “No greater love hath a man than that he lay down his life for another,” etc. Yet if an enemy, like ISIS lays down his life for… Read more »
@OV, Oh, I see it now. Silly me! Yes, we have many patient enemies.
@OV, The easy answer is the Crusades were fought against the Moslems. But that is a gross over simplification. There were several Crusades, and even more battles where Europeans were trying to push the moslems out of their countries. The latest was the Serbs trying to push the moslems out of their lands. But back to your question. The moslem side consisted of every tribe and both kinds of islam. Suuni and Shiite both fought against the European Crusaders. Suuni is one of the two main branches of Islam, commonly described as orthodox, and differing from Shia in its understanding… Read more »
Ironic, Grande HATES AMERICA, but her anti U.S. A$$ is back in Florida the day after 22 are murdered at her concert. You would “think” she would stay in Manchester or at least ENGLAND for support of the injured, but decided to run to a safe haven, the good old U.S.A. I lost all respect for her, with her I HATE AMERICA statement…
