Possible Solution to Supreme Court Ruling to Destroy the Homeless
Wednesday, June 27, 2018
Is it Time for Liberals and Progressives to Arm Themselves?
Now that the right has filled the supreme court with right wing thugs, the time has come for liberals to accept that democracy, the rule of law, and so forth no longer exists in America. There are those who argue that it never existed, but I think their arguments are, frankly, irrelevant. Many Americans *believed* that they lived in a flawed democracy, but now no one could possibly believe that. Its just a dictatorship set up for and by the rich.
People have secured their rights in this country in the past by fighting for them, and I don’t mean that in a symbolic or “representational democracy” sort of way. No I mean standing in a picket line and getting their heads beat up by thugs who are supported by our government. I mean the bonus marchers murdered for protesting their treatment at the hands of the government. I mean riots in the cities when the FBI murdered Martin Luther King (not their first murder). I mean protesting with violence when an innocent man or woman is raped in prison, beaten around the head and shoulders and then “hung himself” in his cell.
Nothing is more American than violence. Nothing is more American than the rich using the government to destroy the rights of the poor in order to get more money.
So is it time for liberals and progressives to arm themselves? This is a very controversial topic and I do not have the answer to that. I can argue either point of view all day long and get nowhere. So lets just say it *may* be time to buy firearms, a great American tradition, and ask a few questions. That will be reserved for the next post on the topic.
Yes, I know this is an upsetting and controversial topic. Hey, not my fault. Stay tuned! Things are just getting interesting.

Linux Enhanced Precision Firearm Experience: Sniper Rifle Goes Open Source
Now open source operating systems,
lasers, image processing and firearms are combined into a single
consumer product: Tracking Point has a new rifle that integrates
various techniques to increase the accuracy of your average sniper /
long range rifle user.
What I want to know is whether this
will run Ubuntu and whether one will always have to constantly
upgrade the OS or "be left behind". I would hate to
update the OS on this thing and have a problem, you know what I mean?
Ooops, sorry, didnt mean to shoot you! Ha ha. Sorry about your dog.
Whats the upgrade system on this distribution? Yum ? Apt ? How do I know if the file system is reliable, is it journaling or using ZFS ? Has GLUT been ported to this platform? What kind of boot loader does it use? Are we talking LILO or GRUB here? How can I get to the shell? I wouldnt want to have a sniper rifle for which I could not get to the shell.
Does Open Source Software have a role to play in homeland security and national defense? I would hope that surveillance cameras, unmanned drones and personal nuclear weapons would all run Linux and presumably Apache. That should teach a lesson to those liberal do-gooders who thought that Open Source was going to change the world.

Read about it at Ammoland
Here is the video which describes what
they are doing:
And of course, each rifle comes with a
WIFI hotspot to foster communication between itself and other weapons
peripherals.
