As I understood it, she was apparently a gov spy-ish employee based on her admissions while posting. Take it for what you may.

That makes sense. The .gov put out new "domestic extremist" guidance last month basically saying that if they find out you "interacted" (i.e. liked, commented, posted, etc) anything TPTB disagreed with, youre a terrorist and get das boot. And boy are they looking.

Unfortunately, given the circumstances, Helen might be a compromised asset. I wish her well but if they’ll go after their own, you know they’ll come after us.

We’ve always known that there were people both actively and passively watching this forum and those like it. It is the way the world works. They are simply more brazen about it now.

With that last sentence, I must ask if you are one of Brandon's speech writers?

Hardly. This is one of the most eloquent phrases I have ever read, pondered and memorized. If you would even come close to its understanding and live life in a way that acknowledged that understanding you would be empowered to be the most successful human to have ever lived this life with true and good success. If you only understood how you are known by Him.

As a group our time is winding down. All the things we have tried to build, tried to preserve is falling away from us. Will anyone remember us?

Depends on if one took the time and made the effort to teach the young ones and if they were willing to learn.

Not only is this one of my favorite quotes that I use frequently to explain our continuing sanctification to others but your avatar is by far one my most favorite scenes in all of movies. The man playing Tom Eckert looks nearly Identical to my Grandfather. When I first saw the movie I bawled at that scene. My game player name when I have engaged in any online game play throughout the years with my kids is Jedidiah Eckert.



Tom Eckert : Boys.
Matt Eckert : Daddy. Dad.
Tom Eckert : Don't talk. Don't say anything. Let me look at ya. I knew I was right. I knew it. You're alive. I was tough on both of you. I did things that made you, made you hate me sometimes. You understand now, don't you?
Jed Eckert : What happened, dad? Why are you here? What'd you do?
Tom Eckert : Doesn't matter. One way or another, for one reason or another, we're all gone. It's all gone. Remember. Remember when you used to go in the park and play, and I used to put you two on the swings? Both of you were so damn little.
Jed Eckert : I remember. I remember all of it.
Tom Eckert : Well, I won't be there to pick you up when you fall now. Both of you have to take care of each other now.
Matt Eckert : We'll never see you again, dad.
Tom Eckert : Yes you will. I don't want to hear that, Maddy.
Matt Eckert : What happened to mom, dad? Where is she?
Tom Eckert : You can't afford to be crying anymore now. I don't want either one of you to ever cry for me again. Don't ever do it. Not as long as you live.
Robert : Where's my dad, Mr. Eckert?
Tom Eckert : I don't know son. I don't know. You all get going. Get out before they find you.
Jed Eckert : Dad, I love you.
Tom Eckert : I know you do, son. I love you too.
Tom Eckert : Boys! Avenge Me! Avenge Me!
Tom Eckert : Boys! Avenge me! Avenge me!

No, just lamenting. We, as a generation, have nobody to pass the baton to.

There never was a baton to pass. Thousands of years of men oppressing men, and then the oppressors go too far or too long, and men yurn for freedom. This nation, this generation is nothing special. Prior societies have had more freedom than us. Then they loose it. And sometimes it arises again, a few generations later.

There was no context to go along with that line.

Interesting that you should post that. Louisiana's law - unlike the other 49 states - is based on the Napoleonic Code and still has a lot of idiosyncrasies. Until fairly recently (and I'm going back several decades), the law stated that the first-born son inherited everything. Of course that was rarely enforced, but it did result in countless legal battles back in the day.

When my mother passed myself and my two sisters had a very civil and loving meeting and agreed between us that the estate would be divided equally three ways, irrespective of whatever the will said. When it was time to clean out her house, obviously the three of us wanted different things and there was no problem there, either. Each of us had different pieces of furniture or momentos that meant something to us. One thing I did want was my father's library. There were a lot of books and while I didn't want all of them I figured the best thing to do was to take them all home and then sort them out.

We three just went through the house picking out what each of us wanted and there wasn't a single argument about anything.

The older sister was named executor of the estate (which was fine with me because I'm awful about any admin type work). That sister was kind of freaking out because we couldn't find Mom's jewelry, which was specifically mentioned in the will. My sister knew that I was something of a precious metals expert and she wanted me to help appraise the jewelry. With nothing to appraise I wasn't much help.

So anyway, we are going through the house with a fine tooth comb looking for the missing jewelry as we loaded up furniture and other personal items. I'd brought a large trailer to help with the process and it took a couple of days.

On the second day I was still loading books into the cargo area of my van. Due to time constraints I couldn't neatly stack everything, but was trying to load the books in at least semi-organized chaos. At one point I brought a load of books out and as I went to load them, the stack fell over. One large book fell open on the van's floor.

It was hollow and there was Mom's jewelry!

I brought it back into the house and gave it to my sister who was both dumbfounded and delighted!

Best

Great story Doc. I can tell that you and your siblings were raised right.

As for LA law, I think the state adopted a non-uniform version of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) in 1990. It seems to be a bit of sand in the gears of the eventual MOTB.

I have his permission to share his email:


Holy cow Batman, its Cardinal and Kris Gandillon!

I am honoured to be receiving emails, from (2)two of my favorite admins.

The forum is wanting to know my status it appears.

Several reasons why I have disappeared, which have ended up with my having greyed myself out online, by about 85 percent.

1st is my health.

I am 65, and should I see February 12th, I will turn 66. I am hanging on, and have some issues.
Trying to avoid another inguinal hernia, which I have already had 6 of them. Sitting is bad for them, and like an idiot, I spend hours a day online, and now having pains in the area of the hernia repairs.
The surgeon who repaired the last (4)four, said that is how I got them.

I am a retired senior systems analyst, and sitting in a cube, looking at a computer monitor for hours everyday, did it to me.

Now I just stand up and look at my computer monitor, but I cannot do much of that due to nephropathy in my feet,
primarily the right foot. It is basically dead. Diabetes did that to me, however I have mostly good control now.

Couple of weeks ago, I am certain that I had a light heart attack, which I have had several. Left arm went totally numb,left side of head and neck also went numb and ticker started to act up. I knew it was coming, so as best as I could I got into bed, had my nitro, and held on. It got better, but I was sore in my chest for several days.
In the past whenever that has happened, blood test confirmed an attack. I had quintuple bypass in October 2003,
and stents in right coronary artery in December 2010, so my poor ole ticker has been through it.


Pulsatile tinnitus. This is a biggy. I hear my heart beating in my right ear. Sometimes it is so bad, that all I can do is lay down, and get as quite as I can, and sometimes it will go away. It is a vascular problem, ear is hearing blood going through artery next to ear. Only fix is surgery, which I would not being able to survive. They would want me to take the jab, which would kill me.

2nd is Internet and computers.


My internet is a cellphone hot spot via Verizon towers. I am lucky to get a single signal bar, and many times no signal at all. It is the only internet available in my location. It causes my email client, Mozilla Thunderbird on my main Linux Mint box, to disconnect. Some days I am not able to get into my email, which is what happened the last several days.

I use (3)three computers. (2)two Linux Mint boxes, and a Windows tablet.

The Windows tablet decided it was going to crash, simply because it is Windows, and I spent the last part of October, and most of November rebuilding it.
I have built thousands of unix and Windows servers, so this is my wheelhouse, and I was able to get it rebuilt pretty quickly, the biggest problem was drivers.

Now I can lay down, and use the tablet to read the main 1st page of of general discussion, mostly the grand solar minimum thread, and to download SAR01 ebooks. I now have 1634 ebooks, on my Kindle PaperWhite.

I only read from the main 1st page. I also read some other forum and boards, primarily AR15.com and Survivalist Boards.
Also, I am still studying Russian, and also now Romanian, and I use the tablet for those studies.

I do believe that in these most uncertain times, that it is best to keep a low profile, be as unknown as possible.

November 2020 changed this country forever and forever, and the country that was before it is not
going to ever come back, not ever. Doomer Doug is the most correct by the way, and he is what I would call an optimist.

Remember, if something bad can happen it will, and something bad will happen before something good.
It has been this way since the beginning of time.

If you would please, thank them all for thinking about ole Nowski, and that I will try to get back on the board soon.
You can post this email if you like.

Please be safe everyone.

Regards to all.

Nowski
