Thomas Dolby's one-hit masterpiece from 1982, from an LP (yes, kids, you used to buy 10-12 songs all at once, instead of cherry-picking hits, and "digital" meant taking your hands and flipping through the albums on the rack). presciently titled The Golden Age Of Wireless. Just as fresh now as the day it was pressed.

So many lessons there from philosopher-king L. Frank Baum:
1) The easy way is the wrong way.
2) Build your team.
3) Your enemies will fuck with you every chance they get.
4) Distant Higher Authority is usually worthless.
5) Keep working the problem.
6) You don't fight for abstractions, you fight for your friends.
7) Never give up.
8) The only way to win is by taking out your enemies for good.
9) You can always do more than you think you can.
It's almost like they took this book, and used it to train Navy frogmen, or something.
And that, Gentle Reader, is how we took you from the Mandalorian, to the Wizard Of Oz, to Navy SEALs, in just one post and illustrative meme.
[Dear Racist Racetards: The term "Black Friday" has Jack and Sh*t to do with anything racial. It's the sale day/weekend that is intended to help retailers get their financial books "into the black" i.e. finally turn a profit. Explaining this became necessary once the 40 IQ kids were left in charge of Social Justice, which date is defined as "ever", on any calendar in existence. ]
For about a year now, on YouTube and multiple other platforms, a few people working as "S2 Underground" have been posting videos once to twice a week, from about two minutes to two hours in length, on intel, counter-intel, and preparedness intel and updates.
They aren't five-star, but the guys behind them clearly know what they're taking about, and have obviously "been there, and done that". Which puts them in front of 90% of YouTube "experts" on anything.
If we had a quibble or three, it's that we wish someone would teach people how to do YouTube videos, starting with "Stop 'umming' and 'uhhing': write a script, rehearse it, and tighten it the f**k up." and moving on to "It's a video, FFS: Don't tell me, show me. Better yet, show me while you tell me." IOW, this is audio-visual presentation. If you're wasting either verbiage or visuals, you're shortchanging your audience by 50%, at minimum.
I would take a salary of $1/yr to consult on this, but most people just bumble along and get better with time.
That aside, the information and concepts they cover, they clearly do from solid knowledge of the subject matter, and you'd have to be a pretty slick operator not to learn something from what they're passing along. (And fully expecting YouTube to eventually hose them out of existence, they're doing it redundantly, on multiple platforms.)
Proving, yet again, they know a good bit about WTF they're talking about.
They have about 90 or so videos up. Some have been overtaken by time, but a lot of the "How To" efforts remain relevant, and you could go from know-nothing to know-a-lot with the investment of some time on their upload list. Topics range from livestreamed intel updates to "5 Minute Tradecraft" to food preparedness. If you can't find something they can help you with, or get you thinking about that you hadn't mentally worked through, you're either not trying very hard, or you're already a soopergenius.
We commend their channel to your watch list, and wish them continued success, and diligent improvement in their offerings. They're worth your time, and to date, your subscription to YouTube continues to cost $0.

(Gateway Pundit)The Salvation Army wants its white donors to give it more than just money this Christmas season. Its leadership is also demanding they apologize for being racist.
It’s part of a push by the Christian charitable organization to embrace the ideas of Black Lives Matter, an activist group working to, among other things, “dismantle white privilege” and “disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure.”
It'll be a cold day in Hell before these @$$holes get another dime from me, and what I will leave in their pots won't pass for cash or coin, unless you're a dung beetle. It's liable to be folded up TP, with a skidmark. Yes, I'm serious.
If they want money, they can hit up woketards like Colin Krapperdick.
The only other thing they'll get from me from here on out will be fond wishes that they self-fornicate themselves in a tight place, sideways, with a rusty chainsaw.
And because of our generous nature, here's a new logo for the organization, gratis, to replace their now-obsolete one:
But if you'd like to send them a bag of dicks to eat, their US address is
Salvation Army USA National Headquarters
615 Slaters Ln #1112
Alexandria VA 22314
If you'd prefer to give them an earful by phone, that number is
(703) 684-5500.
As far as we can tell, it's the US branch of the organization that's responsible for the currently-noted rot.
We suspect this cunning plan isn't going to turn out like they thought, and they'll live to repent of it..

And here's the bill:
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — A jury ordered 17 white nationalist leaders and organizations to pay more than $26 million in damages Tuesday over the violence that erupted during the deadly 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017.
After a nearly monthlong civil trial, the jury in U.S. District Court deadlocked on two key claims but found the white nationalists liable on four other claims in the lawsuit filed by nine people who suffered physical or emotional injuries during the two days of demonstrations.
We've told people, multiple times, not to play in the street. But they were soooooo much smarter than we were. Right up until the ambush was sprung, and the whole idea blew up in their faces.

| If this outcome surprised you, you're not tall enough for this ride. |
And then they got played again, at the Capitol last January, just to drive the point well home.
If you're not going out to play with the express intention of racking up a body count in the mid four figures, you shouldn't be going out to play in the streets at all.
Nothing you seek to win is up for grabs there, and like this verdict, when the dust settles, you'll be eating a 20-foot-long party sub sh*t sandwich. Every last bite of it.
If you couldn't figure out better uses for $26M, you're definitely not bright enough for what's coming. There's a million things you should be doing, and not one single one of them is "go to a protest march". Which same haven't worked once, since ever.
Fill out any grievances below.
Then apply the included ointment to the affected area. Repeat as necessary.
Your circus, your monkeys, fucktards.
When (not if) the shoe's on the other foot, you won't get what you like, and you won't like what you get.
BLM has called the tune. Again.
Next, they're going to pay the piper.
You heard it here first.
Back in the day, we understood why Charlie wanted to start Helter Skelter: he was certifiably insane.
Now BLM seems to think they can make it work. Not content with attempting to achieve the race relations in this country from 1850, they now want to try for achieving the race relations of 1650.
*blink*
They're going to regret that once. And that will be continuously.
There's always one jackass that thinks he's cracked the code to overnight success, and proceeds to shoot himself in the foot. (h/t Peter @ BRM)
