50 dead in gay night club massacre by gunman with reported terrorism ties

In a sad bit of news today, an Orlando gay night club has turned into a blood bath as a gunman matching the middle eastern terrorist profile in many ways decided to punish many for public gay kissing by a few.  At least that is what the article says his father likely attributed his son's "snap" to while at the same time attempting to talk down any ties to the Muslim faith.

My Libertarian view on this remains as it always has: gays can do whatever they want as long as it does not step on my rights.  I don't approve of homosexual anything but I also know it it not my place to do anything about it. 

No, I  do not like to see men kissing men in public and yes it bothers me that more and more gay lovc scenes are showing up in main stream TV for kids to watch.  But I can always go some place where same sex kissing is not happening in public and I can always boycott TV shows and even entire networks which seem Hell bent on cramming that lifestyle down everyone's throat sideways.  It if gets too annoying I also have the option of protesting gay events, etc.  These are all reasonable things for people to do in a society.

At the same time, I know that a new conservative wave is overtaking the world and that tolerance for this kind of thing will become and is becoming much lower than it was during the liberal rise of the past 40-50 years.  Not long ago I wrote,"While Obama embarrasses himself with what are obviously lame duck maneuvers designed to win votes for Hillary, many gay people are looking at this and saying "Why don't they just leave us in peace? We don't want all this attention.  We just want to live quiet lives".  Those are the smart ones because when this pendulum reverses it is pretty clear that an anti-liberal, anti-gay backlash is coming.". 

This is not the first time I have warned hyper liberals, including LGBT, of the impending blow back that would eventually befall them for supporting the rise of those who cram stuff like this down everyone's throat's:



The gayification of everything simply will not be tolerated by that 3% of extreme right who are just as bat shit crazy as that 3% extreme left that are out there.  It would not surprise me to find out later on that the gunman saw the image above and it factored into his decision to take action.  Unfortunately, these shark jumping moves by Obama are adding to a major opposition to the extreme left population who, until recently were actually tolerated and even allowed to thrive.  Until, that is, it began to look to many like the liberal tail was wagging the conservative dog.

The other thing to note here is that this will likely call for more gun controls.  I'm telling you this simply will not work because if you try to create broad laws to disarm Mr. batshit crazy terrorist then you will also have to try to disarm people like me.  That, I can assure you, would be a huge mistake.  Not only would it not result in disarming terrorists but nobody is going to disarm me or people like me without starting a civil war.  And once war is declared, anyone who is associated with the enemy becomes my enemy because there is no such thing as a polite or fair war.  So those who support the gun-grabbers will have to deal with the gun-havers. 

A much better solution is for liberals to arm themselves and to provide reasonable security for their gathering places.  Would it really be that difficult to install a containment zone entrance which incorporates a metal detector?  Would it be that difficult to train the bouncers on the use of firearms and then to arm them with specific instructions on when and how they can be used? 

Because my solution is the only one that can possibly work between the two mentioned above, expect to see exactly that begin to happen in the coming years.

Hillary is shining her adoring crowds on with talk of another assault rifle ban

Hillary is telling her fans that she is going to go after assault rifles like her husband did.  Many gun owners are fearful and anxious about this rhetoric.  I say: fear not.  When Bill got it done it was on a temporary basis only and there were only a few thousand people affected.  Additionally, nobody at the time felt that government was the biggest threat to the people, far bigger than any dumb ass terrorists. 

But since Obama got into office and really began threatening people's 2nd amendment in the face of an exponentially rising national debt, sales of assault rifles, or "modern sporting weapons" as they are euphemistically called by the NRA and ammo have gone through the stratosphere.   Because of this it is no longer just the societal fringe prepper which has guns and ammo.  The majority of my friends in high tech have them or have very near plans of getting them.  We are not talking about podunk rednecks here.  We are talking about well educated people of substantial means.  Good luck passing any real laws that violate the sensibilities of this crowd.

Besides, let's say she actually won the presidency and then somehow rammed the law home anyway.  Let's say everyone is ordered to sheeple on over to their local police station and "turn 'em in".  I will literally laugh at the order and tell them I will not comply.  And I will do it loudly and publicly.  Furthermore I bet that a LOT of police and Sheriff departments across this country will stand up and declare that they will not enforce it.  Hillary knows this and Hillary is above all a lying politician who is interested in nothing more than gaining and holding power.  If she gives the order to turn 'em in and everyone laughs at her then she would lose face as commander in chief.  It's just too big a threat to her power and so it will never happen.

Back from my first vacation this year only to find trouble brewing for elitist bankers.

I have to apologize to some long term readers for not giving notice on the public blog that I would be taking a "vacation" over the past 1.5 weeks in order to go refit the "new" 42' yacht (new to me, new to the world in 1972...).  My vacation consisted of 16-18 hours of daily hard labor, but a labor of love to be sure.  We added a big new dive platform, a nicely appointed RADAR arch, an inverter along with associated house battery bank, a huge clean up of the boat electrical system, removal of vestiges of old air conditioners and other gear that people tend to partially tear out when it breaks over the decades.  Many other tasks were performed such as re-gelcoating of the transom and refinish of the cockpit brightwork but we are not even half way done.   We plan to do another big trip over the 4th of July week since my company has declared a mandatory shut down then.

I did give notice of this past vacation on the paid site since I have an obligation there but I failed to think about those who might be trying to sign up for the paid service in my absence.  SORRY guys!  If you need me to do a partial refund for the time that your payments were in my paypal without having access to the paid site, please send me private email and I will do a prorated refund for this month.  Very appreciative of your support and patronage in my new paygo site!

With that business handled, I want to say that things are getting dicey over in the EU with respect to bankers suffering under NIRP (Negative Interest Rate Policy). Banks would put up with it for a short time but now it is going on for months and no real end in sight.  The Mafioso con men running the show at the top are now  throwing their banker capos under the bus with NIRP and the capos are beginning to complain and beginning to threaten to leave "the family".  This is so typical as a sign of the peaking of the scam.  Each higher level up "asks" (sometimes at economic or literal gun point) for the level(s) below to take one for the gipper so that those at the top don't have to suffer much.  It's accepted for awhile but at some point the minions begin to feel used up and they revolt.  Mish reports that this is happening right now overseas.

Oftentimes when the capos begin to grumble publicly like this, the top criminals take out a hit on them in order to send a message about compliance and patience to the other lesser criminals.  It can take many forms including sudden resignation or firing of the affected CEOs or in some cases even an unexpected heart attack or suicide.  When bankers step off of tall buildings you can pretty much figure out they had some help in their decision.  I'll be looking for signs of the above over the next 1-2 months.
