Last Call

Folks I am going to embellish this post with images shared to me from the web. I am not the source of these images (except the photo header image which I took earlier this year), but they can be found on Pinterest or Google Images or similar locations. The images will paint their own story and my words will tell my interpretation of the story. [Language Warning: Course Language Used, Read at your own discretion.]

The Easy Path

The time has passed when one can be polite and civil when trying to get through to the masses who are behaving either ignorantly or selfishly and refuse to see what is evident before them. No matter the cost they are behaving like they want to take the easy path and accept whatever bullshit narrative is being fed to them by those in power. Wake Up!! 

Power to the People

Does the common man or common woman not see that they are being manipulated and exploited?? Do they not see the price for their compliance is slavery?? Are they just blind or are they just lazy?? How can anyone believe this bullshit narrative surrounding the Draconian lockdown measures in place for a pandemic which has a survival rate in excess of 99.5% of those who actually get the ailment?? An ailment so harmful, you must be tested to know whether or not you have it. Are people today so weak and feebleminded that they can no longer think for themselves?? Must the mainstream media or worse, social media be the source of all their wisdom and knowledge?? People WAKE UP!!

Create Emergencies to Break the Law
In less than a year the people of this planet have allowed the most vile, evil act of subversion to be perpetrated in the history of our known world. This seems to be headed to either total subservience to a globalist new world order or to total resistance by the good people of planet Earth against the agents of pure evil. I suspect I am sharing my thoughts with those in the choir and you already know this. This is my Last Call. WAKE UP! People of the Earth who are being deceived, manipulated, exploited, and enslaved. WAKE UP, STAND UP, and DO NOT OBEY!!!

Until next time…start thinking for yourself!

Pandemic vs Propaganda: FEARdemic: Social Engineering or Global Cull, Conspiracy Tale - Part Two

 

Near Oldman River by V.A. McMillan

Feardemic is a play on words, mocking pandemic in a cynical and sarcastic manner. According to Wikipedia "pandemic" is from the Greek "pan" = all & "demos" = people. And we know fear is an emotional response or choice to a stimulant, generally assumed to be a negative response. Yes, I was surprised to hear my wife use the term...but, it seems an accurate summation of the current state of affairs here on planet Earth. [Editor Correction: Feardemic in context with my wife's usage has to do with the fear many folks have with death and their unresolved acceptance of death and as a result they cannot allow themselves to live, much less live fully. The current pandemic/plandemic further exasperates this fear and has the fearful clutching at any idol to save their lives, such as the devotion to wearing masks.] FEARdemic an irrational response to the non-stop bombardment of the population by the propaganda allegedly due to the public health concerns for an upper respiratory infection called COVID-19.  A disease that has a survival rate above 97%...

Here are links to previous conspiracy tales:

https://mtnmanblog.blogspot.com/2020/09/pandemic-vs-propaganda-plandemic.html

https://mtnmanblog.blogspot.com/2018/03/divide-conquer-global-elites-vs.html

https://mtnmanblog.blogspot.com/2018/05/masters-of-chaos-how-elites-are-keeping.html

https://mtnmanblog.blogspot.com/2019/03/the-coming-wars-between-peoples.html

https://mtnmanblog.blogspot.com/2020/04/zero-day-covid-19-crisis-global-elite.html

Back in January and February 2020 when the COVID-19 outbreak seemed real, and information was sketchy it seemed both reasonable and prudent to limit contact with people, practice excellent personal hygiene and employ PPE (personal protective equipment) when going out into public places. However, the emergency phase is long past. We have a much better understanding of this virus and it is not nearly as deadly as we were made to believe. So, why the hell are we still under lockdown?? Certainly not for public health reasons, but purely as an exercise in power and control. So, how did public health legislation get so powerful as to dictate house arrest and jail for non-compliance?? 

Where is the proof that any of these oppressive measures are warranted?? No, public "officials" nor the W.H.O. nor any other government source will be good enough. Just because billionaires like Gates or Soros said so, is also NOT good enough. A non-biased third party would be a good start. Of course, there would need to be at least three independent third-party verifications before any findings could come close to being accepted, after the sandbagging propaganda that has been shoved down our throats. 

If things were not rosy enough and everyone would just like to get a bit of breathing room to get our personal and collective thoughts in order; this continued social engineering experiment just goes on and on without abatement. The latest twist is a series of screenshots of a Twitter? feed from an insider member of the Liberal Strategic Planning Committee who has expressed horror that the PM and his Ilk have sold out our country and wants the committee members to sell to Canadians it is in our best interest to capitulate and concede defeat without a fight and accept a buyout via the IMF to forgive all personal debt in exchange for enslavement. I cannot verify the authenticity of the images and I have not determined if they are real or some sort of PSYOP trick being played on Canadians. Needless to say the subversive, traitor who is allegedly in charge of our country is not making any friends in regions who absolutely did not vote for him nor his party. 


For this brainwashing to work, the oppressors need to convince at least 16% of Canadians that this scheme is going to work and be to their benefit before there is any hope that the majority will follow suit in lockstep with the dictator and his friends. So, my message to the silent majority, if you have any love for freedom and liberty, NOW is the time to take a stand. The number of tomorrows is shrinking fast. The Global Elites and their patsies seem to be emboldened by the silence and they no longer care if anyone in opposition to their Agenda knows anymore. Agenda21, Agenda 2030, Agenda 2050 or whatever they want to call it - they cull the world population, confine the enslaved in urban jungles, and de-populate the natural zones...then, they can harvest all the natural resources at will and without concern for protests or harmful emissions. 

While on the topic of PSYOPS, global warming...let's kick this idea around for a minute of hard critical thinking, shall we...

The premise is human activity and the use of fossil fuels generated excessive carbon dioxide emissions blanketing the planet in a thermal barrier that lets solar energy in but not escape and as a result the planet will die because it gets too warm. 

What a crock of crap...

First, carbon dioxide is positively required on this planet, there cannot be too much. All plant life on this planet inhales carbon dioxide to stay alive, then plants exhale oxygen. The more carbon dioxide the healthier the plant life on the planet and by extension the more oxygen for mammals and birds to breathe. 

Second, how much energy is required to heat one litre of seawater one degree Celsius?? How many litres fill the oceans and seas of the world?? How much energy would be required to heat the surface of the planet's oceans by one degree Celsius?? Do the math and you will discover that the "sky is falling" Chicken Little tale of global warming is not factual.

Folks need to wake up and start doing their own thinking. Stop believing everything they see on the internet or worse on cable TV. Stop being lazy, start doing your own thinking. Ponder this, is being debt free a good deal if all you have to do is kneel down, capitulate, surrender ownership of your home and all possessions, take a toxic injection (errr COVID-19 vaccine) and basically sell your soul. Is a peaceful slavery truly a better life than a dangerous freedom?? Some of our neighbours did not think so, and neither do I. 

The time for a decision is rapidly approaching, fence-sitting will not be an option. Think for yourself or be ruled by your fear. Remember, fear is a choice.

That is all.

Until next time...stand up for what you believe in,
Better to be hated for who you are, than to be loved for what you are not!

Pandemic vs Propaganda: A Plandemic Indoctrination Conspiracy Tale – Part One

As much as I prefer to write on other topics, current events continue to present speaking points that are best presented in a conspiracy tale. So, the craziness continues in Canada. Calgary has now announced they will be enacting “No Free Speech Zones” that target free speech of persons who want to address subjects non-congruent with the NWO agenda or narrative. The Nation’s supreme leader and his cohort of complicit crooks continue to spend our country into the deepest, darkest debt hole our Nation has ever experienced. Getting in is easy. Getting out will cost the future of 25-generations. It is very curious how our system of government does not have a mechanism to end a corrupt regime from collapsing the country. Protecting our Nation from all enemies foreign and domestic, is that not the oath of the military?? We have domestic enemies in the house of power. They have manipulated emergency event that allowed them to invoke emergency powers and shutdown the Nation, confine the citizens to their homes, limit movement, close businesses, close schools, close churches, close fitness facilities and de-populate the hospitals for an influx of patients that never materialized. The Draconian measures did not stop there. Overreaching gun control measures, proroguing parliament, extending the COVID-19 lockdown, the WE charity scandal, emergency relief funding, and now “masks” are very important. No debate. No votes by elected representatives. And now, the rhetoric is increasing towards a “second-wave” to justify more authoritarian measures. Schools are back; however, the restrictions are over the top for the actual magnitude of this event. Not to sound too harsh, and for the families of those who perished from COVID-19 this is not to minimize your loss, however, only about 9200 Canadians have died from this pandemic 9200 / 37,000,000 = a non-statistically significant value! We are destroying our country for what reason again?? The criminals in Ottawa need to be held accountable for their actions and inactions. We are destroying our country for a disease that has a 99.9% survival rate! Wake up people! We are being played! Masks made sense in January, February and March; before we knew enough about the pathology of this disease. That is behind us. Wearing a mask by those not infected is a pure PSYOPS – psychological operation. If you are wearing a mask out of fear, get off your arse and do your own research! Masks are not the answer for the healthy and it is questionable if these masks serve a purpose for those who are infected. Right now, wearing a mask by an uninfected person shows a willingness to capitulate to a directive from people who are supposed to serve you, not dictate to you. The pandemic has become an exercise in power. Well misery likes company and Canada is not alone in their suffering. 

Our Commonwealth Allies and friends in Australia continue to be abused by their local government. Border control points between their states. Children have been separated from their parents and taken to hospitals in a different state that the parents cannot enter. There are nightly curfews. And, allegedly, the night skies are filled with frequent flights arriving from China – WHY?? Totalitarianism seems to be on the rise. Too bad Australia was disarmed a couple decades ago. When the State has a monopoly on violence it will be more difficult for the citizens to stand up and say, “No more!” 

Our neighbours to the South, God Bless Them! They need more help than can be rendered by only a neighbour. Marxist terror groups rioting and destroying American cities. Foreign funds funding protestors/rioters to cause havoc and chaos. And the most divisive election in living memory is only a couple months away. Humble the smugness, that Marxist trouble has infected Canada, too. There is a storm coming and it is going to hit more than just our American neighbours. 

You may be asking, “Mountainman, what is the Big Picture?” I am happy you asked…If you have read the previous Conspiracy Tales you may recall that I have suggested that all of these events are NOT isolated. Everything is connected. There is a concerted effort being made to rid the planet of FREEDOM & LIBERTY! A large communist effort to bring collectivism to every home around the planet. Communism is NOT sexy. Communism is NOT cool. COMMUNISM is CRUEL and OPPRESSIVE!! To all the “Useful Idiots”, the role you are currently playing will come to a brutal end once your masters are in power. If you have not read any history, you might not know that those “useful idiots” who aid the communists into power are usually killed once their usefulness has expired. Do yourself a favour now, while you still can, and read Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s The Gulag Archipelago (volumes 1, 2 & 3). Hear firsthand what happened in the Soviet Gulags and re-evaluate your love of collectivism. 

 This current pandemic/plandemic has had more success in crushing Western Civilization in six-months than a century of open or clandestine warfare!! If we stay quiet and refuse to stand up, it is likely we could enter into the final stages in our lifetime. How many people around the planet do not even question wearing a mask?? How many people do not question being told they cannot gather?? How many people do not question why they cannot attend church, while it is okay for dirtbag ANTIFA terrorists to ravage a city?? ANTIFA doesn’t observe social distancing when they are swarming a neighbourhood or an entire city. Has life been too easy for too long?? Are all people soft?? Since when have such weak governments had so much control over the citizens?? I was going to list the “useful idiots”, those poor souls who are being sucked into this storm and do not know any better. Then, again, what are the odds any actually read my Blog?? Okay a partial list. Without a doubt ANTIFA and BLM Inc, those folks are being used by the Marxist machine to wreak havoc and when it is over their usefulness will be expired. The First Nations/Indigenous People your call for reconciliation is being exploited and you are being deceived by the social justice billionaires funding your protests. The LBGTQ movement you, too, are being exploited and if the Marxist achieve power you too will be in danger of a level of violence incomprehensible in today’s world. The feminist you have helped seed division in the community which the Marxists appreciate, however, that usefulness has a limit. In general, any organization that has division as its central mission is being exploited by the Marxists. You are doing their bidding and you likely have no clue what a Marxist is. Maybe you have heard of communism or maybe not. It is not the socialist utopia presented in books like Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. George Orwell’s 1984 is much closer. 

 Now, the powers that be, those communist dogs wanting to kill, subvert, trick or connive their way into power or stay in power they have another list – a list of threats to a stable communist regime. That list contains a lot of good people, people who do not deserve to be hunted and killed. This list will be a concern for those who love FREEDOM & LIBERTY!! Free thinkers. Independent & self-sufficient types. Folks who have property. Scientist (not the politically controlled or bought scientist). Teachers who do not teach the Marxist curriculum. Doctors and nurses who will not help in the vaccination regime (not talking about MMR or Polio vaccines here). Firearms owners. Military leaders who resist Marxist doctrine. Police members who will not obey the narrative. Parents who teach their children well and not from the book of Marx. Preachers and Ministers who will not change the Lord’s Teachings. Non-union workers. Entrepreneurs. This list should sound familiar the pattern has been used for over one hundred years by every despot and dictator around the planet. This is going to need to be a multi-part post. Time is short and there is lots to share. I will end part one here. 

Until next time…question the status quo! More to follow.

New JEEP Wagoneer - A Missed Opportunity

 

Livingstone River, K-Country, Alberta

New Jeep Grand Wagoneer, from Jeep Canada's Website
What were the executives at Jeep thinking?? If you are going bring back a legend, like the Wagoneer, WHY would you re-create the legend to look like a four-door minivan!!??

I am very happy to hear that the Jeep Wagoneer is back, I am just a little disappointed it seems to be targeted towards a market that is inundated with purchase options and not towards enthusiastic  Wagoneer drivers.


2016 Jeep Concept Crew Chief 715 from www.allpar.com
Had Jeep kept to their heritage, maybe the Wagoneer could have had more in common with the 2016 Jeep concept Crew Chief 715. Now, the Crew Chief looks like a Wagoneer...a pickup version of a Wagoneer, but still a classic Wagoneer. Look at that Gladiator grill!! I am not sold on non-directional tires, but tires are easier to change than the body of a vehicle. Imagine a Wagoneer family that had a convertible, crewcab pickup and a wagon version. This would have been the perfect platform to create the NEW legendary Wagoneer from.

Concept from papercruiser.com

The overland concept from  papercruiser.com did a better job of creating a Wagoneer than Jeep did. 

My first vehicle was a 1970 Jeep Wagoneer with a Buick 350 under the hood (Winter camping in 1987, picture below). My third vehicle was a 1976 Jeep Wagoneer with a 360 under the hood. Those two Wagoneers took me a lot of places and helped create a lot of memories of good times. 

JEEP if you are listening, use the Crew Chief 715 as your platform for the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer and bring back a LEGEND!!

Until next time...share your opinion!

Micro Chest Rig - Universal, Designed & Prototyped by SATAS Co

 

Mt. Livingstone, K-Country, Alberta (Photo by V.A. McMillan)

Micro Chest Rig - Universal (Shotgun and AR)
A new Micro Chest Rig designed and prototyped by SATAS Co. This latest version tried to solve an issued discovered from the earlier Micro Shotgun Rig design; namely, eliminating the bowing in the pocket holding the spare shotshell cards. 

In case you missed the earlier Blog posts:

Micro Chest Rig - GSG MP-40

 Before I get into explaining the fix, let's have a look at the new micro rig...



Micro Chest Rig - Universal (Bare)
This micro rig was designed to hold a set of shotshell cards on the Velcro type panels on the front of the magazine pouches. Further, the magazine pouches can also be used to hold a second set of shotshell cards. 

These magazine pouches were designed to be universal to hold either metal GI style mags or P-Mag type plastic magazines. Originally, I was going to employ elastic cord retainers to hold mags in place and the webbing tabs are there to do that. I found that the mag pouches were quite deep and magazines or shotshell cards would not likely fallout during an average range practice; however, a serious run & gun set of shooting drills would encourage the use of elastic retainers to be used to prevent lost mags.

The next noticeable feature is the front drop flap. The drop flap has a compact document pouch that is closed with Velcro-type closure tape. The back/inside of the drop flap has elastic to hold a TQ and a battle dressing or two. Although, the two 3/4" side-release buckles do a great job of holding the drop flap in place, the drop flap also suffers from bowing out in the centre. This will be resolved on the next prototype. 

Drop Flap Pouch - Open

Drop Flap - Dropped Showing Elastic for TQ & Battle Dressing

Micro Chest Rig - Universal (Full View with Drop Flap Down)
To the right, is the full view of the Micro Chest Rig - Universal with plastic mags and shotshell cards in place and the drop flap open fully. 

I used the Rhodesian style harness, again. It seems to work well, so, no need to fix that at this time. 

Below, is the fix for the first Shotgun Micro Chest Rig. I built a short 3/4" webbing strap to Velcro from the back to the front of the ammo pocket to limit/prevent the pocket from bowing or deforming when under load. It seems to work well, but it now interferes with removal of the shotshell cards. C'est la vie!

The last images are the plans I worked from, maybe others will try to create their own version. If you have followed the development of these prototypes, maybe you will solve some of the challenges I have found.

Until next time...if it doesn't work the way you like, make it better.
