By The Mighty Humanzee Link Back to Podcast Post Page While we had fun on Episode #11 of Behind Enemy Lines, we devoted a lot of time discussing the explosion that crippled Nordstream 1 and possible involvement of the United States. John Jackson got us started with these series of tweets. [shared_counts] The case:1. Poland and Norway open a major pipeline to Europe and the NEXT DAY the Russian Nord Stream pipeline is sabotaged. 2. Russia would never blow up their own infrastructure when they can just turn off the spigot. 3. Biden (and Victoria Nuland) threatened this...1/2— john jackson (@pvtjokerus) September 28, 2022 Many have questioned what would motivate Russia to destroy the most effective bargaining chip they had with the EU. This is a good question. To…
By Orange Link Back to Podcast Post Page Victory in the Name of Government Overreach:[shared_counts] By the end of 1942, half of U.S automobiles were issued an 'A' sticker which allowed 4 gallons of fuel per week. That sticker was issued to owners whose use of their cars was nonessential. Hand the pump jockey your Mileage Ration Book coupons and cash, and she (yes, female service station attendants because the guys were over there) could sell you three or four gallons a week, no more. For nearly a year, A-stickered cars were not to be driven for pleasure at all. The green 'B' sticker was for driving deemed essential to the war effort; industrial war workers, for example, could purchase eight gallons a week. Red 'C' stickers indicated physicians, ministers,…

By The Mighty Humanzee Link Back to Podcast Post Page NPR has a different take on my BEL topic of credit cards and gun purchases.[shared_counts] Pretty amazing when NPR does an expose on what they perceive as a positive development regarding gun violence. They celebrate credit card companies singling out gun and ammo purchases. A new "merchant code" for credit cards will categorize purchases made at gun stores. But there are limitations to its usefulness — including that most guns in the U.S. aren't bought at such outlets. https://t.co/UPOu98T1X6— NPR (@NPR) September 16, 2022 But note how they decry the limitations. Really, limitations? The credit card companies are following the disturbing trend that the Obama administration started with the DoJ and Treasury Dept with the IRS, targeting gun manufactures and…
By The Mighty Humanzee View BEL Episode #9 We had no clue that the beginning of the session would change so drastically.[shared_counts] Another episode is in the hopper, but I have to admit I had a different plan when we first connected. I admit that I like to get reactions out of people, and in order to get spontaneous energy into the conversation off the wall antics, such as changing how the record starts, jolts everyone into a reactive state. Reactive in a good ways since Blue or John will blurt out the reaction then jump in on the phone. You can tell sometimes when I call into Montana Talks I can get John laughing, and yeah, that's my goal. I want Aaron to have mute the mic, my secret…
