All the Secrets of the Universe and Some Really Important Stuff Too!
I know it’s a weakness of mine. I do enjoy listening to this intelligent, honest woman with a wonderful German accent lambast these fake scientists for wasting time, money and lives in a racket that must be shut down. And not just in physics. All of the academic disciplines that produce nothing useful but are subsidized by our money to the tune of billions and billions of dollars must be defunded.
Kudos to Sabine for saying it out loud.
Update:
To verify my ownership of “The Sniper” for the Royal Road folks, I am adding this note to show I also control Orion’s Cold Fire.
We interrupt the daily progression of actual civil war to bring you a message about a fictional civil war story. I’ve finished the manuscript for my book, “The Sniper.” Now I’m looking for beta readers. I’m looking for folks to read the book and give me their honest feedback. Also I’d like to disseminate the book to friends and family who you judge would be a good fit for the book based on your estimation and if they agree to read it I’d like to get their opinions too.
I’m looking to get this book out to the largest group of people possible to see whether it is something that people will want to read. So after reading it if you think it’s appropriate for people you know let me hear that too. And remember, I’m not a fragile author. If you think it sucks, say so, but also tell me why you think it.
If you’re interested leave a comment to that effect and I’ll e-mail you a copy of the story. Now this is just a pdf. No nice cover, no actual paper. Just electrons. But I will guarantee that this sniper is nothing like the actual sniper we’ve had to hear about for the last week.
And just to remind you here’s the beginning of the book.
Chapter 1 – An Object Lesson
Joseph Boghadair was set up at a loophole in a small prefabricated metal building at the top of the mountain that contained the Icarus Mine. His .50 caliber sniper rifle was trained on the narrow road that led up to the mine. He could see a line of black SUVs about a mile and a half down the road and he was getting ready to start firing on the convoy. His first shots took out the engine of the lead vehicle thereby halting the convoy. His second volley took out the engine of the last car in line thus trapping the rest of the vehicles between. Then at a more leisurely pace he took care of the other eight vehicles. By this point the passengers were crouching behind their disabled cars and randomly firing handguns and automatic weapons in Joseph’s general direction with almost no discernible results.
After about half an hour a few of the men in black body armor attempted to reach a stand of trees about 300 yards away to their left. Joseph put a few well aimed rounds in front of their path and they quickly retreated back to the supposed safety of their not-so-mobile-autos. Joseph snorted wryly at their shyness.
An hour after that a helicopter approached the mountain from the opposite direction to Joseph’s loophole. Walking over to a window on the other wall he could see a distant Blackhawk approaching at relatively high altitude. Joseph then began his preparations for their reception.
Between crew and troops, the Blackhawk had a dozen men on board. And more importantly it had a couple of Hellfire missiles. From a very safe distance away it targeted Joseph’s position and fired. The missile struck precisely on target and obliterated the steel structure almost completely. All that remained was the foundation of the structure around the mine shaft, now clogged with debris.
The Blackhawk landed about three quarters of a mile from the mine entrance. At this point the agents, hunkered down behind their vehicles, began to stream toward the helicopter. By the time they reached the aircraft the troops had exited and were waiting for their rescued brethren to arrive.
FBI Special Agent in Charge, George Chastain assembled both teams and briefed them on the updated mission plan. “We will proceed to the mine head and look for any human remains. We will collect whatever we can retrieve for lab analysis and attempt to seal the mine head until qualified personnel can be assembled for recovery operations. It is presumed that the target, Joseph Boghadair was killed by the missile strike but we will take no chances. He was an extremely dangerous individual and should not be approached by anyone without backup and prior approval from leadership. In addition to his war record it is believed that Boghadair is responsible for the shooting deaths of forty-six people in the last six months with thirteen of those people being FBI personnel. No one enters the mine until remote sensing equipment is brought in. Alright, proceed.”
The agents formed two groups. Apparently, SUV agents and helicopter agents must not bond very well. But before they were more than a hundred feet from the helicopter the ground began to quake so powerfully beneath them that they were irresistibly knocked off their feet. And while they were clawing at the ground for dear life, they could see that the high ground where the mine head was located had collapsed into the earth. The roar of that collapse was more frightening than the initial earthquake and some of the agents hid their heads under their arms in abject terror. When the mountain stopped shaking the men started to collect themselves and stand up. When they looked around them, they were astonished. A circular pit had opened up centered on the mine head. It was a thousand yards in diameter and so deep that only blackness could be seen at its center. Several cracks had formed outside the circular pit. One of these had nearly swallowed the Blackhawk. It was on its side and half buried in the crevice. Its rotors were fractured and it wouldn’t be flying away from this landing.
Chastain went over to the edge of the crater and just stared down into the blackness below. Then he went back to his team and started giving orders to begin a retreat from the stricken mountain. He was trying to think of what he was going to tell his boss. Nothing reasonable came to mind.
The Litany
From all blindness of heart, from pride, vainglory, and hypocrisy; from envy, hatred, and malice, and all uncharitableness,
Good Lord, deliver us.
From all the deceits of the world, the flesh, and the devil.
From battle and murder, and from sudden death.
Give to all nations unity, peace, and concord.
The kindly fruits of the earth.

Tyler has a post on his site about the madness that’s broken loose around us.
Monday was a good day at work. Progress was made and I’ve got a much better understanding of what we’re going to be up against in the next couple of weeks. Sure, madness will break out now and then. But it’s not just this fog of ignorance. There’s the beginning of planning and a path forward.
And there’s the situation going on in the world. Charlie Kirk’s murder is disgusting and the more details that come out the worse it shows the Left’s psychotic fringe to be. These people aren’t merely insane. They have ceased to be human. The assassin was a “furry.” The fact that his “partner” was trans wasn’t enough. He also pretended to be an animal. These people are so far beyond help that simple execution might be the kindest thing we could do for them.
Hopefully Kash Patel is up to the job he needs to do. Proving conspiracy by all the other members of Robinson’s associates is the first step. Then he must widen out the investigation to locate the entire Antifa network and trace back their money to the donors and NGO’s that fund them. It would be nice if Obama gets caught up in that net. But first things first. Shut off the money and arrest the ringleaders who call the shots. Without them and the money, the small fry psychos will wander off and starve on the streets.
I’ve heard Trump is pivoting from invading Chicago with ICE and the National Guard to going to Portland, Oregon instead. Now that’s an interesting idea. Portland probably has the highest per capita number of trans weirdos, Antifa thugs and homeless drug addicts of any city in the country. It would be the perfect place to haul away tractor trailers full of degenerates and psychopaths. But I hope they’ve planned this carefully to avoid injury among law enforcement and maximize the jail time meted out to the Antifa “community.” I know they like throwing Molotov cocktails at law enforcement. Intelligence will be needed. But Portland is definitely in need of pruning.
I have a feeling I’ll be self-publishing my book. I don’t think there are many traditional publishers who are brave enough to embrace my dystopian world of armed insurrection against the deep state. It is pretty radical. I’m still trying to learn the basics of book marketing; especially advertising on Amazon and elsewhere on the web. But I have gotten the book out there in the real world now. I have a friend reading it and I’m very interested in getting his feedback. My intention is to decide one way or the other about self-publishing and then send out a bunch of copies of the manuscript to friends and associates and see what they think. It’s pretty heady stuff to even have a small audience read your words.
The weather has been summer-like for the last few days and the forecast is for another couple of weeks of the same. That should allow me to handle the winterizing chores easily and plan for next year’s spring. Probably the highlight of the garden season was the thornless raspberries. I took a chance that they were the kind that mature in one season. I cut all the canes to the ground and added a bunch of fertilizer and they grew like crazy and spread and produced tons of fruit. In fact, they’re not done yet. Next year I’ll do the same (cut down and fertilize) and I expect them to spread to almost double where they are now. We’ll have to give them away to strangers. But I’ll eat a ton of them myself. They’re delicious.
Well, that’s enough talk of pruning for Monday.
Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection unto eternal life.

I’m just plain disgusted with humanity today. We’ve reached a very low point. The fact that this kid Robinson could come from a good family in a very conservative area and still end up as a far-left psycho involved with a “transgender woman” and at twenty-two years old assassinate someone so that he has ended his own life either literally or effectively, sickens me. The world has become insane.
What seems apparent is that colleges have now become leftist indoctrination centers. And the only way out is to set up a network of normal colleges to act as an alternative in order to protect young minds from this poison. I think that’s the only thing that can be done.
As for those who have already been brainwashed, I think it’s too late for them. I don’t think there is a “deprogramming” protocol that will work. Somehow, we will need to protect ourselves from these rabid individuals and find ways to interact with only the normal. I haven’t thought this stuff out deeply. It’s just my visceral reaction to what has gone on this week. But I think it’s important to continue the government program to defund all institutions of higher education that indulge in DEI. But more than that it’s time to stop funding colleges that have disciplines like Queer Studies. If a college decides that this is meaningful education for young people then it should find its own money to fund it. And that goes for any “study” that is essentially a grievance group complaining about the United States or “whiteness” or any other woke hatred subject.
A society, no matter how freedom-loving has to have limits to freedom. We already draw the line at pedophilia. I think we’re going to need to revisit the way we look at deviant sexuality in general. If it is thrown back to the states that should be enough for now. This will allow certain areas of the country to reestablish normalcy as an operating principle. And if there are places for deviants to go to practice their sexual preferences like the West Coast and the Northeast then there shouldn’t be a problem deporting these people from the other areas of the country. That would seem to be a humane way to remove them from the environment. Win/win.
As I said, I’m pretty disgusted with the current situation in our country (and globally). It’s going to take a lot of work to make much of an improvement on the current sorry state. I guess the real first step will be for the Justice Department to uproot Antifa. That all by itself will be enormously difficult. But it is such an important job that we should be able to tell very soon whether it’s being tackled or not. My way to measure whether anything is being done will be whether co-conspirators are named in the Charlie Kirk assassination. From what I’ve heard there were many people aware beforehand that this murder was scheduled. It is the Justice Department’s duty to find these people, prove their involvement and indict them for murder.
If that does not happen, things will not improve.
