Bump

We as in the USA/CIA, our country, abetting, condoning, allowing, etc. what Jeffry Epstein etal were doing. Obviously I don't mean the royal "we". Nor am I saying that "we" weren't involved. I have no idea. I hope we weren't, but to say I'd be shocked if we were would be inaccurate.

I don't believe he acted alone just because he was a sicko. We have names from the plane's manifest. We know some, and we know it goes to the top.

My point was only that if at some point we became aware, and then came into possession of all the material, and that some of it compromises our enemies and gives "us" control over them, the case could be made, and much more easily than if we were involved in or condoned the actual crimes... Does it weigh out? I don't know, but that doesn't mean I trust anything either. Just an admission of ignorance, and trying to find a reason that makes sense to me, because that everyone who has touched this is a demon in human flesh is fever dreams.

It's the 180 from Patel and Bongino that has me perplexed. What have they seen that turned them from a dog with a bone to complicit?

The world is full of sell outs, but there is also a greater number who won't for any reason. Most in gov would sell their mother for more power, that's been proven time & time again thru out our history. Plus you have a huge number who would take money to look the other way. I don't belong to either of those groups and never will, as I was brought up apparently much much differently. I don't view power & money as the be all like most, but I do highly value, all children's well being. If I have to die on that hill so be it,...

It is. Lots of bad people out there who justify evil to themselves. However, there are also good people who are willing to sacrifice everything for others knowing there's no glory and they will be persecuted for it and called villains. Obviously you count yourself as one, and so do I, so when I'm trying to consider something like this, where the evil is so big it seems a completely worthy hill to die on, it is better to think about if from what I know, rather than to project my prejudices on others and simply assign the worst possible motives to them. That's all I'm saying.

In the end you are most likely right, and the justification for this whole cover up will be found wanting (like a nuclear blast is warm). Doing it because they are all evil to their core doesn't track for me no matter how jaded I might be.

One thing is true. This has been going on since before people gave their children to Moloch.

Personally I suspect some users are covering up their mistakes by blaming the gun for a misfire. I have several P320s and feel very confident.

You have some upper level bureaucrat worried by safety or getting sued, and taking the easy way out by choosing Glock. Glocks are good, very reliable, but I believe the P320 trigger system to be a better design.

In addition to your vertical tie rebar connecting to the existing slab you’re going to want some horizontal mesh to prevent tension fracture. 2”x4” welded wire will work fine for your application. Tie it to your verticals about half way between bottom and finished top.

Rough up the existing slab with sidewinder. If you have a slab saw available cut grooves about 1/4” deep spaced a foot apart. That will help adhesion.

You should calculate you load per square inch to determine the strength cement you need. My rough guess based on my safe is 1.5 psi. So any readi mix is plenty strong. Hell, most quickcrete is plenty strong if you mix it thick for low slump.

You’d be smart to rent a magnesium float to make sure there are no voids in your new slab. Trowel around the edges of forms to make it pretty.

Curing takes a while, depending on what mix you use. I would plan on at least a week to set up. It won’t be fully cured but strong enough to work on. Be careful around edges while it is still green because it is super easy to crack a corner loose.

Also, don’t skimp on your forms.

Hope this helps.

Agree iwth the wire mesh. Probably not necessary but it cant hurt and is cheap insurance.

True. You could well be right. I have no idea. I'm not discounting anything. I know that we don't know. I'll reserve a real opinion until I understand motive. What happened is abominable. I would be more likely to believe we would use it if it was the Israelis and we weren't the progenitors of rape island. But, I have no idea. It could be as all those baying for blood assume it is. I hope not, but it's a possibility.

I think that is a part of it, but I don't think so many would be willing to go along with it if it was just to protect the agencies. There has to be more to it than that to willingly cover it up, and across administrations. There has to be something critically important, pertinent, and ongoing. When you consider what they manufactured out of whole cloth to try and keep Trump out of office, that they wouldn't use this, or at least leak it doesn't make any sense.


If there isn't, then you're right. It should all be burned to the ground with the people involved screaming in agony, and perhaps our country doesn't deserve to exist. That seems much more of a stretch than they are using it against our enemies. An appeal to patriotisms to keep people quiet seems more likely to me than an appeal to evil and power.

So, there's never a conflict between morals and values? There's never any weighing of good and evil outcomes? Everything is white and black and never any conflict between them? Now who is being naïve? Not saying that those who are weighing things are always or even most of the time correct, but to say there isn't a conflict and a balance to be struck isn't realistic. Are we weighing what Epstein did against nuclear war, or some some politician evading justice? Even if you don't buy the reasoning I'm saying that there is some calculous at work, and it isn't protecting powerful people or so many would not keep their yaps shut.

The mass of people in the Federal Government who would have to be involved to make this simply about protecting the guilty would have to be monumental. It would have to be an evil shot through on a the biblical Sodom and Gamora level. Even then there was Lot. It is the height of fancy to posit there does not exist a Lot in all the Federal government.

So where was the ass kicking? Ok, I'm old but I do remember when the police was the biggest gang in town and if you laid a hand on an officer then you likely ended up in the emergency room. I rather miss those days.

I support law enforcement.

As long as they're enforcing the law and not being assholes.

Most people did haha. I have two or three that I doubt I'd be able to give away. Timney and Trigger Tech are good replacement options.
