Which Side Are You On? Slow Socialism Vs. Fast Socialism

I, speaking for myself, do not support either version of socialism.

How Your House Is Looked At By . . .

H/T Abraham Duran — Monday, 8 May 2023 at 9:22 PM MST

This is simply because the County Assessor (the local-level sewer dweller government official who “determines” the “value” of your house) is in a state of collusion with the County Treasurer, the County Commission, etc., to get as much cash as possible out of you, by hook or by crook.

This is why it’s essential to vote NO! on any and all bond issues and mill levies that are posted on your ballot — sure, the Political Classholes will tell you that “this won’t raise your property taxes,” but when don’t they lie through their teeth?

If they can’t get a raise in the rate of the property taxes that they charge you, as “rent” on property that they tell you that you “own,” then they tell you that your home is all of a sudden “worth more.”


Happy KILLDOZER DAY!

Heemeyer Muffler Repair
Poster’s location not shared ⋅ June 4, 2019

June 4th, 2019 marks the 15th anniversary of the Killdozer’s rampage through Granby, Colorado.

Sit down kids, and let me tell you a tale. A tale about a reasonable man driven to do unreasonable things.

Marvin Heemeyer was a man who owned a muffler shop in Granby, Colorado. The city council ordained to approve the construction of a concrete factory in the lot across from Marvin’s shop. In the process, this blocked the only access road to the muffler shop. Marvin petitioned to stop the construction to no avail. He petitioned to construct a new access road, and even bought the heavy machinery to do so himself. Denied.

The concrete factory went up in disregard to the ramifications on Marvin’s business. To add insult to injury, the factory construction disconnected the muffler shop from the city sewage lines. An indifferent city government then chose to fine Marvin for this.

His business and livelihood were in ruin. Rather than lie down and die, Marvin chose to fight back. Over the course of a year and a half, Marvin secretly outfitted the bulldozer he bought to save his business with 3-foot thick steel and concrete armor, camera systems, and enclosed bulletproof glass.

On June 4th, 2004 Marvin Heemeyer lowered the armored shell over top of himself, entombing himself inside the Killdozer to make his last stand.

He burst forth from the walls of his muffler shop and straight into the concrete factory that ruined his business. Over the course of the next several hours, Marvin drove his Killdozer through 13 buildings owned by those officials that had wronged him, including the city council building itself.

SWAT teams swarmed the dozer, but it proved immune to small arms fire and even explosives. Another piece of heavy machinery was even brought out to fight the Killdozer, but it too fell to the dozers righteous fury.

In the end, Marvin’s Killdozer became trapped in one of the buildings it was built to destroy. Marvin chose to take his life, the only life he took that day.

Today, we celebrate Killdozer Day and Marvin Heemeyer, the last great American folk hero. A man driven to the brink who chose to fight back against an indifferent system.

From notes left behind after his passing:

“I was always willing to be reasonable until I had to be unreasonable. Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things.”

HAPPY KILLDOZER DAY!

Another Idiot Wannabe Black-Hatter Drops By

This morning (12:02 AM MST), I received another threat of ransomware being placed on my blog, posted to the same picture page as the first one #151;

We have hacked your website nmil.blog and extracted your databases. This was due to the security holes you had in your your site / server which have gained us remote control of everything that was on the server.

Our team is mostly interested in customer, administrative, and employee information which we have extracted through your databases once we got remote control over the server. It still needs to be sorted out but it will be well-organized once finished. First, we will be going through the emails / sms information and contacting the recipient how you held in disregard about their information being exposed to a hacking group when you could have stopped it. This would be detrimental to your personal image with these relationships with these people. Lastly, now that we have information not only will we be monetizing off it with our methods but made public or sold to other people that will do whatever they wish with the information also after we are done.

Now you can put a stop to this by paying a $3000 fee (0.11 BTC) in bitcoin. You can find our address by visiting https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX where you can copy and paste the address or scan the QR code. We will be notified of payment which we will then delete the information we have obtained, patch the hole in the site / server which we got in and remove you from any future targeting in the future. You have 72 hours in doing so after viewing this message or the series of steps will commence. You can obtain bitcoin through such services such as paxful.com or do a search on bing.com

For what it’s worth, I didn’t send a penny to “Deanna Laurence,” much less the ∅[1]3,000 that “she” demanded, and I’m still in business, and “the series of steps” apparently was just a bluff.

So I’m sure that “Flor Lachance” will understand if I don’t feel particularly threatened at this time.

Well, it’s been almost twenty days. Not only have I made NO effort to comply with “Deanna Laurence’s” demands, I have no inclination to do so at any point in the future.

Furthermore, it’s been well past the “72 hours in doing so after viewing this message,” and yet “the series of steps” doesn’t seem to have occurred.

19 April — Celebrating and Remembering

Firearms Policy Coalition
Tuesday, April 19, 2022 at 10:05 AM MST

By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.
The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.
On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set today a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.

Naturally, we can’t forget Mike McNulty’s Waco: The Rules of Engagement[1]

— and McNulty’s follow-up film, Waco: A New Revelation[2]

Today we remember that on Monday, 19 April 1993, the Clinton Administration was so concerned about child welfare that they were willing to kill 27 kids by asphyxiation, incineration, and automatic-weapons fire to get at three adults accused of tax and paperwork violations.

[FLPNM] LNC Meeting in Albuquerque (10-13 March 2023)

Over the weekend of Friday-Monday, 10-13 March 2023, the Libertarian National Committee [LNC] held one of its face-to-face meetings at the Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Albuquerque Midtown [2020 Menaul NE, Albuquerque, New Mexico].

On Saturday, 11 March 2023, the meeting started around 9:00 AM MST.

Present for the Saturday meeting from the Free Libertarian Party of New Mexico [FLPNM] were myself, Rudoplh Kohn, Dr. Sandra Spinelli, Cynthia Carner, and Richard Gurry.

Reports were given by LP Executive Director Laine Huston and LP CTO Andy Buchkovich about the pros and cons of transitioning from Raiser’s Edge to CiviCRM and from Google to Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Teams.

Following the presentations by Huston and Buchkovich, the LNC heard regional reports from those regional representatives who were present.

Side Note: The FLPNM is not currently associated with any of the current regions.

At around 5:00 PM MST, the LNC went to recess for the day, and made their way to El Patron [10551 Montgomery NE, Albuquerque, NM], where they were treated to dinner and drinks by the FLPNM.

At the dinner, Region 4 Alternate Joshua Clark was presented with a Life Membership pin by National Chair Angela McArdle.
