Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By stater61: Well I probably should have but, I knew absolutely nothing about ham stuff. It was on a Thursday noonish when I found out that the only test being given until sometime in the late spring was on the following Saturday. So I literally had a day and a half to study. I may take the general at a later date though. that is a problem with getting test sites, the examiners are volunteers and they don't have many exams frequently anymore. I signed up for one, but didn't get a reply back if I was scheduled to attend the exam, and had to wait 3-4 months for the next date |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RockNwood: Do you have info on a better quality alternative? Also, maybe this is for later chatter, but if the streets are not filling many laws is there any consideration to using best gear regardless of pieces of paper? Judiciously used not for everyone but we should strive to go bigger and better than the opposition. The ideal would be encrypted VHF comms for at least a couple of real miles. Can a mobile VHF repeater be set up on a parking garage? Plus some Hams hitting HF repeaters fir cross town or even between cities. I think instead of focusing on street confrontations it might be better to focus discussions on organization and comms plans. Then be able to run surveillance CI ertly, give warnings and if necessary get a large concentrated force moved to where needed. When we confront we need mobile scouts, flankers and reserve as well as a observation and control element. Figure out the size of teams we need then work locally to recruit and fill slots. ????? Just some ideas. Watch YouTube videos for the General Class Ham license and all this stuff is explained far better than there is room for here. Comms will almost always be a problem for us because we (stupidly at this point) still follow laws and regulations about call signs etc and against things like encryption on ham bands or even using code books to "obscure" the meaning of radio messages. |

I signed up for one, but didn't get a reply back if I was scheduled to attend the exam, and had to wait 3-4 months for the next date One good thing that has come out of the Kungflu and quarantines is that it has helped push more online testing for ham licensing, which has been allowed just not very well implemented before this. I haven't had a need since I managed to get extra in March before everything started shutting down, but I have heard good things about the groups running online sessions. Check out Ham Radio Crash Course on FB, or YT and do a search for online testing, you will likely find the information you need to set up a time slot. |

I am not a fan of heights so no fucking way would I ever jump off anything. I don’t know shit about drugs so that would not happen. I would not want to shit on the carpet so I would not hang my self. No plans, zero, nada, idea, concept, including action or imagination related to suicide. I do not have any friends with dark colored crown vics. If I committed suicide I would not drag my body across town to the park. Zero plans, none. Not today Mr Bezos! |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By airmandaniel: Would I be allowed Texas citizenship if I bring my Tavor and camp out at Whataburger? Back to the riot topic, I was having this discussion with a member and thought I'd ask the group. Jamming up their radio coms is easy, but what do we do then? Fight them? Shoot them? Commandeer their equipment? The guys that I was monitoring where the armed support, their sole purpose was to provide a visible armed deterrent. If we're jamming their comms with plans to engage we have to know that has a strong possibility of going sideways real quick. Part of the weak showing we saw yesterday was probably because the town of Mossyrock, about 45min south of Olympia, was having a big rally pretty much saying screw the Governors restrictions. We also saw similar stuff further north https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/lewis-county-mossyrock-freedom-rally-support-small-businesses-washington/281-e58cb244-b5c3-44d4-a20a-0fae9c3b5133 https://www.q13fox.com/news/north-sound-santa-rebellion-rallies-attract-big-crowds-to-protest-pandemic-restrictions You jam equipment and frustrate plans to force the out-of-sight commanders to show themselves or otherwise break more-secure comms. Those are the people who need a serious hurting, legal or otherwise, put on them. The pizza delivery boys and flunky office assistant girls playing revolutionary need to be sent on their way with broken bones and teeth; the leadership directing it all needs to meet more serious consequences. |

They will quickly gut the DoD of patriot leadership and force any federal LE sympathetic to the Constitution out just as Obama did.

The other thing you can do is interdict comms and give the enemy false orders. The Colombians--at least according to the official stories--broke into FARC comms and arranged to have Ingrid Betancourt and other hostages, including US contractors, transferred to what they thought were guerrilla sympathizers but who were really the Colombian military. |

To be fair, a light dusting, which often has a skim of ice underneath, is usually a lot more slippery than 6+ inches. You can get some traction in deeper 6-10" snow and it will also help slow you down somewhat by packing up in front of the tires. YMMV |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Ex_Sanguine_Nation: But if what we're doing in this scenario is separating into two nations, essentially, one that is classically American and one that is friendly to classical America's enemies, then classical America is still doomed, it'll just be a slower (but not by much) death since the external enemy will now have free reign to establish strongholds here. Ports. Airbases. That's no bueno. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Ex_Sanguine_Nation: Originally Posted By hiyaboa: Originally Posted By Ex_Sanguine_Nation: Originally Posted By hiyaboa: Where do we go from here? Clearly there is a sizable chunk of conservative Americans that aren't happy with the election fraud or the fact that courts, law enforcement or any part of the government seems to be willing to do anything about it. Whether the inaction or resistance of these officials is motivated by fear, incompetence, money or malice is irrelevant, calls to step up or step aside should be nagging these people daily. The momentum of the MAGA movement and the current outrage can't be allowed to slow down. We've never seen this much emotion from the right in this country, ever, and we certainly won't again if this is lost. The protests, in every form, must continue and we should not be willing to sit on the sidelines anymore. Aside from entertainment, I don't see any value in the PB vs Antifa clashes that occurred, they're just a distraction. Low level violence offers no benefit to our side as it will only be reported as "right wing violence", satisfying but no net gain. Though the networking and organizing we have seen may be useful going forward. Energy and attention needs to stay focused on those who perpetrated the fraud and those who benefit. The swamp and the tentacles of the CCP, are far deeper than most of us were willing to believe. Is there a way to drain the swamp within the laws it has established? Do we focus on pressing our current leaders to do something when nobody seems willing do take action or do we focus our energy on organizing to get behind new leaders? Personally, I'd rather see a push towards a 2 state solution as I don't see a way that such different ideologies can coexist and all parties remain satisfied. It may be unpopular to say that as most of us love our country but it's becoming more clear everyday that it isn't our country, we don't run it, it runs us. Sad state we're in but hopefully we can actually find a path that doesn't end in the moral cesspool of socialism, if that means they get half and we get half, so be it. Our union divided is far weaker than it is as it stands. Divided, we fall to outside interests. Swamp too deep to drain peacefully. Our country in an. Internal war is weakened, whereafter we fall to outside interests. Go along with the flow, we slowly sell out to outside interests. Like it was already said, we have no where to go that would be productive to our interests that we can communicate here openly about. I disagree that we're stronger in our current state as conflict between ideologies is intensifying and foreign influences are effectively buying our leaders. We're as weak now as we'll ever be, a leaner United country would be more efficient and harder to undermine. But if what we're doing in this scenario is separating into two nations, essentially, one that is classically American and one that is friendly to classical America's enemies, then classical America is still doomed, it'll just be a slower (but not by much) death since the external enemy will now have free reign to establish strongholds here.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Scoobysmak: They are not going to need help. They already wrote the law to get him out for mental issues. I don't think it matters if they press the button or we do. I think when the Hoe goes all out stupid on EO's then it will get interesting. I honestly hope that team doesn't get that far but at the moment I don't have more than a 50% odds of anything stopping it. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Scoobysmak: Originally Posted By Atomic_Ferret: Is it wrong that I am skeptical that he not only has definitive proof but that it will alter the direction of things in any sort of positive way for us? We know Joe is dirty. But helping the left get rid of him so they can usher in Harris isn't going to further our cause. Most of the time the VP is there jokingly as "assassination insurance" as to not wind up with some hapless boob (like Biden) in the WH. In this case (barring 11th hour changes in the election outcome) we better hope and pray that Joe remains somewhat healthy and un-indicted. Because getting the worst of all worlds that is Harris into the big chair is a terrifying prospect. They are not going to need help. They already wrote the law to get him out for mental issues. I don't think it matters if they press the button or we do. I think when the Hoe goes all out stupid on EO's then it will get interesting. I honestly hope that team doesn't get that far but at the moment I don't have more than a 50% odds of anything stopping it. I don't think she has the relationships that Joe has/had so it will be interesting to see if she can do anything other than EO. I suspect her sitting in the hot seat will fully expose how useless she really is and accelerate the rate of the general population not caring what DC does and ignoring them like the Kabaul analogy. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Cecenrse: I have had an offer from a regular member tonight, but do not feel I should be making unilateral decisions for the group beyond a certain point. We should have a riot squad consensus, or at least a majority decision. OFFER: I have installed,setup,and run a phpbb forum before. I have private hosting now and am going to grab a relevant domain tonight if possible. If needed its something i could get running but would take a week or so.i have the last week of year off. Also do want to be on offsite group . will get proton mail and get back to you. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Cecenrse: Originally Posted By RockNwood: Somebody set up our own hosting and we subscribe to fund it? Hosting ourselves gives the most control.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Mariner82: Constitution? Pffft. Constitutions don't mean jack shit any more... SCOTUS, led by the traitor Roberts, just said so. In fact, now that they've said that, SCOTUS is surplus to requirements. They can go fuck right off. No need to pay them or even maintain utilities to the building anymore.
