More thoughts from An Old Piece of Leather

“I have that feeling their plans will never reach fruition, but just in case not enough has been done to bring death to the roaches and ‘they’ have some deranged idea they can push the idea to knock on doors … there are some very useful manuals for guerrilla tactics that can be found.

Depending on the physical characteristics of where one lives there are very many, very effective deterrents that can be easily and cheaply utilized. YMMV, depending on if one has a fenced yard, young children or four-legged pets.

The fact that soooo many people have ‘Smart’ *anything* tells me clearly they are NOT smart. AND they’re *lazy*. Sorry/not sorry but you might be. Do you have one of those Amazon Echo hockey pucks? Or a ‘Smart Phone’? How about one of those cool ‘Ring’ gadgets? Unless you’re a computer geek who is highly skilled in writing Python you *HAVE NO IDEA* how much of your personal data, banking data, private life, etc. that can be *easily* mined.

Back in the day – and for anyone younger than Gen X’ers that means *many* decades, *not* two or three years – for my first college degree I had to take Computer Programming 101. That entailed marking punch cards that were loaded into a Fortran computer machine. Do you know what that is? Hmmm?

Technology today is *mind-blowing* and I can’t even wonder what can be done with it today. On MonkeyWerx he passes on interesting details that he learned in his 25+ years as a DoD aircraft contractor. One thing he said that I clearly remember: ” … these spy aircraft can follow a soccer ball from 300 miles away.” 

Think about that when you buy something online and pay for it with a credit card. Or talk on your ‘smart phone’ about protesting some asinine, greedy, insane law the local radical left tyrants are trying to pass. 

So, what the hell does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Or the delusional deep state thinking they will jab every. single. warm. body. on. earth. Read on … 

Those concepts sounded wonderful in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. We had never considered how ‘Smart’ gadgets would be utilized by warped, disturbed, evil people to intrude into our personal lives and for some destroy us that, at that time, we would never have never dreamed of … or at least those of us who are somewhat sane.

Whatever you create, the only people who should know about it are your *immediate family* who live in your house.

Now, I’m presently single, so that’s not an issue for me. My 18# Alpha male cat will likely watch me and investigate. He’s quite intelligent, so I’m not concerned.

Here’s just one out of the books: You know those rubber strips that are used on the bottom of garage doors. They’re cheap. Same with roofing nails. Lay out a strip of the rubber garage door seal. Take some of those nails and push them through the garage seal, from the same side. When you’re finished with that you can spray paint your creation to camouflage it to match where you’re putting it – gravel colors, grass colors, sand colors, whatever works.

You can pick it up when you need and put it in place again later.

That’s just one, there are many methods one can use to let the radical left criminals know they’re not welcome. One that IS NOT an effective method is talk. 

The time for talk is over.
