Some longer or more involved reading:
- Jon Low has a new Defensive Pistolcraft newsletter. First up, Jon has included a link to where you can download a PDF of Jeff Cooper's "Principles of Personal Defense."
- Some words of advice:
When issued a radio, or someone gives you a radio, or you pick up your radio out of its charger, IMMEDIATELY do a radio check. Finding out that your radio does not work in the middle of a crisis is no fun.
If you check it, it will always work. If you don't check it, it won't work when you need it. That's how life works. Murphy is nasty.
Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong, at the worst possible time; not when it's convenient for you, not when it's easy to fix.
- Greg Ellifritz also has a new Weekend Knowledge Dump with links to articles on better using a red dot, the biomechanics of an incapacitating shot, some thoughts on being the gray man (as well as a great story of an encounter with a couple of criminals), a link to this month's Range Master news letter, and more.
- "Your Car Is Sharing More Private Data Than Your Smartphone. Who’s Getting It?"--The Drive. You might want to think twice before plugging your phone into your car. An excerpt:
Even if you only use the official apps pre-installed in your car, some of these may connect to your phone and ultimately open your browser. Once it does, the whole flow of data changes because it follows your phone’s browser settings, not your car’s. This means your car is now receiving cookies and browsing data and sharing them in ways you weren’t aware of or expected.
- "Why The Cheering For The Woman Who Killed Her Children Was Aimed At You"--Wilder, Wealthy & Wise. Some thoughts about Lindsay Clancy, her supporters, and modern feminists. An excerpt:
This then, is the ultimate sacrifice to Moloch. Innocent children painfully murdered. It goes hand in hand with the other sacrament of the GloboLeft and GloboLeftElite: abortion.
This is why feminists celebrate Clancy. They demand in every respect full autonomy for women. What autonomy? All of it. Want to kill a child that irritates you after you’ve shopped doctors to put your mind on numerous drugs?
Why, that’s perfectly allowed.
Want to have sex with two, three, heck, seven guys in public on the floor? Why not! If she regrets it later, she can just call it rape. And if she and the guy, or guys, are both equally drunk?
It’s still rape by the guy.
And if she is a teacher and rapes a minor, gets pregnant and opts not to sacrifice her child to Moloch? Yeah, the kid will have to pay his rapist for his rape-baby. Oh, and she’ll probably get probation, because rape is only icky if a guy does it.
- "When The Music Stops, Matt Bracken"--The Grey Enigma. From the article:
In response to recent articles in mainstream military journals discussing the use of the U.S. Army to quell insurrections on American soil, I offer an alternate vision of the future. Instead of a small town in the South as the flash point, picture instead a score of U.S. cities in the thrall of riots greater than those experienced in Los Angeles in 1965 (Watts), multiple cities in 1968 (MLK assassination), and Los Angeles again in 1992 (Rodney King). New Yorkers can imagine the 1977 blackout looting or the 1991 Crown Heights disturbance. In fact, the proximate spark of the next round of major riots in America could be any from a long list cribbed from our history.
We have seen them all before, and we shall see them all again as history rhymes along regardless of the century or the generation of humankind nominally in control of events. But the next time we are visited by widespread, large-scale urban riots, a dangerous new escalation may be triggered by a new vulnerability: It’s estimated that the average American home has less than two weeks of food on hand. In poor minority areas, it may be much less. What if a cascading economic crisis, even a temporary one, leads to millions of EBT (electronic benefit transfer) cards flashing nothing but zeroes? Or if the government’s refusal to reimburse them causes supermarket chains to stop accepting them for payment? The government can order the supermarkets to honor the cards, but history’s verdict is clear: If suppliers are paid only with worthless scrip or blinking digits, the food will stop.
