- 226Posted by $ SpiritWoman 5 days, 17 hours ago to [Ask the Gulch] I applaud the person who commented electing Harris President is akin to the Titanic hitting the iceberg and backing up and hitting it again.And probably that will happen either way the election goes.
You seem to be saying the riots in 2020 were connected to the election results. - 227Posted by freedomforall 5 days, 18 hours ago to [Ask the Gulch] I applaud the person who commented electing Harris President is akin to the Titanic hitting the iceberg and backing up and hitting it again.2020 was just a show to confuse and
concentrate attention away from the treason.
Think 1861-1862 level of violence. - 228Posted by $ SpiritWoman 5 days, 18 hours ago to A Radical Plan To Save America’s Economy In One YearAnd I'm not interested because you failed to tackle the relevant point in my first comment.
- 229Posted by $ SpiritWoman 5 days, 18 hours ago to A Radical Plan To Save America’s Economy In One YearI'm not interested.
- 230Posted by $ SpiritWoman 5 days, 18 hours ago to [Ask the Gulch] I applaud the person who commented electing Harris President is akin to the Titanic hitting the iceberg and backing up and hitting it again.How much more violent can it get than the Summer of Love 2020?
Is that the type of scenario you're thinking of?
Do you have thoughts about what can happen in this country following this election? I don't know the outcome, or the outcome of the outcome. But it seems to be coming down to the wire. - 231Posted by JakeOrilley 5 days, 20 hours ago to A Radical Plan To Save America’s Economy In One YearOf course not. And I apologize for not being more clear - at times I do not explain the reason for the thoughts behind a statement. I was referring to US - Mexico water sharing agreement. The agreement quotes are directly from the congressional reports, and the quote on how Mexico is not living up the the agreement is from the BBC.
"Colorado River. The Colorado River flows through seven U.S. states before reaching Mexico;
97% of its basin is in the United States. Under the 1944 Water Treaty, the United States is
required to provide Mexico with 1.5 million acre-feet (AF) of Colorado River water annually.
This figure represents about 10% of the river’s average flow."
"Rio Grande. The Rio Grande is governed by two separate agreements. Deliveries to Mexico in
the northwestern portion of the shared basin (near El Paso/Ciudad Juárez) occur under a 1906
convention, whereas deliveries for the southeastern portion (which is below Fort Quitman, TX"
"A bilateral treaty signed in 1944 says the two countries must share water sources along their arid border.
Mexican farmers say they need the water themselves, in what has been one of the driest years in decades.
But the US says Mexico has recently not been fulfilling the agreement and owed almost a year's worth of water.
Last month, hundreds of Mexican farmers seized La Boquilla dam in Chihuahua state to stop water being diverted to the US, leading to violent clashes with Mexico's National Guard. "
So again, apologize for not having enough info for my comments originally but with the water agreement, although they did not "build a canal to carry water to Mexico City" there is an agreement that ties in the water that comes from the Colorado, and thus the dam, and the water that is used is MX. - 232Posted by freedomforall 5 days, 20 hours ago to [Ask the Gulch] I applaud the person who commented electing Harris President is akin to the Titanic hitting the iceberg and backing up and hitting it again.We may have missed the opportunity unless things turn very violent.
That might open minds to more rational discussions. - 233Posted by $ SpiritWoman 5 days, 20 hours ago to Game paying this out or what would a totalitarian dictator do.I just have a question or two, pragmatically speaking. Would you have this alternate social arrangement living on the same power grid, and how would you obtain water, sewage facilities, etc. for a 'company of like-minded individuals'?
- 234Posted by $ SpiritWoman 5 days, 21 hours ago to A Radical Plan To Save America’s Economy In One YearOf course, to cheat. But any intelligent person who has the guts to say so, or the guts to show how they feel, are labeled conspiracy freaks (a bad thing) or called 'insurrectionists' and sent to prison.
Someone could study how Indians vote. It may not be exactly what you think it is. - 235Posted by $ SpiritWoman 5 days, 21 hours ago to [Ask the Gulch] I applaud the person who commented electing Harris President is akin to the Titanic hitting the iceberg and backing up and hitting it again.+1
And unfortunately, very unfortunately, our sons and daughters were indoctrinated into the Leftist paradigm. Can we change that? - 236Posted by $ SpiritWoman 5 days, 21 hours ago to Was Subjected to Liberal Lunacy Yesterday...must be a signCrazy for sure. But you're right about Trump. He truly cares for this country and its people. He can't hide that, we can't hide that, the only people who try to hide that is the Leftist Marxists and Communists. And they're doing a pretty bad job. Well, I'm not completely sure about that. There are certain segments of the American electorate that actually buy into the Trump is Hitler muckraking. And we all know who that segment is. They may not even understand that it is muckraking or even understand what muckraking actually is. They just buy into it because they've been told Trump is against feeding and sheltering and providing medical care for you.
- 237Posted by freedomforall 5 days, 23 hours ago to Game paying this out or what would a totalitarian dictator do.It could happen like with Reagan.
Have an assassin shoot him when the opportunity presents a few months after taking office.
Then give him the rules he must follow or lose his family first and then his life.
Unless something significant changes, the only alternative to slavery is active armed protest
and either replacement of the fedgov with decentralized, weak government, or secession by those
who want freedom. - 238Posted by freedomforall 5 days, 23 hours ago to Game paying this out or what would a totalitarian dictator do.Release a more virulent virus (that they already have a secret immunity to) and declare martial law
between November and January. Trump would, of course, have been infected along with all his trusted
associates. - 239And should she win the election by hook or crook, she will be taking orders from the same people Biden did.
- 240Posted by jack1776 6 days, 1 hour ago to Game paying this out or what would a totalitarian dictator do.Taking a page from Rand, can we go Galt in our own country? What if we just dropped out, stopped participating in their society. Can we devise ways to build wealth outside of the dollar and government control? Can we build a future using the gift of our minds as men to build a separate society, free but within our government? Doing this in a separate place will not work simply because they know where to find us but as a 5th column, it would be difficult for the government to assert its control as they would have no idea who we are. We would only need a few items:
Identity system, we would need a way to identify a valid member without compromising your actual identity. It would have to be impossible to compromise and be self-governing. I have no idea how to pull this off yet.
Communication system, resilient and secure. I’ve thought about this a little bit. A multi-master replication scheme, much like the large file sharing network that exists now but it would be encrypted messages. Every node would contain parts of encrypted messages and when you read a message, parts of the message would be pulled from multiple nodes and assembled. This system would have to use unique encryptions keys at the nodes and at the message level.
Monetary system, to replace the dollar. No idea but I think following the BRICS lead by tying the value to an oz of gold sounds smart. I don’t know how we would do this, yet; if you’re local, physical wealth makes the most sense.
Governing body, its not about anarchy. We will need governing documents and ways to handle disputes.
Security, we would need a way to protect our members, governmental and other threats.
I guess I’m saying if it’s stolen again, the fat lady hasn’t sung yet. Breaking out into a kinetic fight seems likely but we still have other options. Hopefully I’m only fear mongering and all of this blows over without confrontation. - 241Posted by freedomforall 6 days, 1 hour ago to A Radical Plan To Save America’s Economy In One Year... and all their assets tracked down and seized including any "shared" with relatives, friends, and comrades in treason in any location in the universe.
- 242Posted by LibertyBelle 6 days, 1 hour ago to [Ask the Gulch] [Ask the Gulch] Why can't we start a crusade to abolish public (govt) education? (except for military technical and police training). More chance than before, since parents have found out more about what is done in school, during Covid ?RIght on!!!
- 243Posted by LibertyBelle 6 days, 1 hour ago to [Ask the Gulch] I've been voting every time the Polls are open since 1972 in my little town but I have never seen such a crowd of people voting especially early. I showed up riding my wheel chair and about 50 people moved aside to allow me to go in front of them.I voted a few days ago. I couldn't have ever voted for Harris, but I understood that Trump had been found guilty in the state of New York of sexual as-
sault (not rape technically, since he had not used the particular organ)but I did not think it would be right to vote a man in President who would do
such a thing, so I voted the straight ticket of the party I generally favor, leaving the top of the slate blank. But I have been thinking about it since, and it seems to be that Harris is little short
of a Communist. Some things she has come out for, such as abolishing private insurance, are
outrageous. As to Trump's previous offense, I
don't think he would dare to make that part of publlic policy, anyway, so would it not be better to vote against a policy of a lesser evil,which evil would be greater statism)? - 244Posted by tutor-turtle 6 days, 1 hour ago to A Radical Plan To Save America’s Economy In One YearFrance has 48 million voters. Paper ballots. Results were counted before midnight.
India has 969 million voters!
Yet this third world nation counted all their hundreds of millions of ballots paper ballots before midnight!
So why is it the most advance country in the world can't keep pace with a ginormous mud-hut country?
Unless it is being done on purpose.
And what is that purpose?
To Cheat!
These traitors to our Republic need to be treated like the traitors they are: stood up against a stone wall and shot. - 245Posted by $ 25n56il4 6 days, 2 hours ago to EU President Likens Free Speech to Infectious Disease [To Be Forcefully Eradicated]I THINK I BETTER CHANGE KEYBOARDS..THIS ONE IS DEAD.

- 248Posted by $ Snezzy 6 days, 6 hours ago to [Ask the Gulch] I applaud the person who commented electing Harris President is akin to the Titanic hitting the iceberg and backing up and hitting it again.Some of us, perhaps even most of us, have left-wing relatives. They fill a necessary spot in the field of ethics--the bad example that your mom always warned you about. Or should have, but didn't.
- 249Posted by $ SpiritWoman 6 days, 12 hours ago to Repeated Stepping on the Snake Deserves Severe PunishmentGood post. Amazing, isn't it, how much Americans will take before 'payback' happens. I think Thomas Jefferson listed about 27 or so grievances against the mad king George III, before a 'candid world'. He certainly didn't want the world to think the colonists were just crazy or rude or something!
- 250Posted by $ Abaco 6 days, 12 hours ago to Was Subjected to Liberal Lunacy Yesterday...must be a signI recently told my one Democrat neighbor (before their debate) that if I debated Biden they'd have to carry him out on a stretcher. Biden is a sitting duck in a debate. So is Kamala. Nice that Trump stood up for NY. He's that kind of guy. A good guy. But, when Biden said Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation he tee'd up a doozy for Trump and The Donald didn't swing for the fences. He let it slide. I was in total disbelief. I've never seen anything like that in a debate. Trump could have ended the whole thing right there.... I was glad to hear him say no to any more debates. He doesn't need to put himself in that situation anymore. He just needs go get out and talk policy, like he's doing. Maybe....Trump is really a sweet guy, not a killer. When Biden shoved his foot in his mouth with the claim that he was a "6 handicap" with his golf game Trump's response was very, very merciful. I think it said more about Trump than it did about the delusional Dem. My son and I are golfers and we absolutely roared at Trump's reaction to that. Just looked away an winced. Haha! Epic. Biden could have stood there and said, "I'm from the moon and my wife is a mermaid" at that point. Geez...things have gotten crazy lately...
