American Revolutionary War: Battle of King's Mountain
The clash at King's Mountain between Patriots and Tories began Britain's long descent to Yorktown.

When, for instance, the defeated and demoralized Tory survivors finally were herded into an area only about sixty yards long, Ferguson’s second-in-command, Captain Abraham DePeyster, waved a white flag of surrender, and many of the frightened Loyalists called out for mercy. But the Patriot fire continued, and numerous Tories died with their hands in the air. One Patriot reported to have shot men who had already surrendered was John Sevier, who believed at the time that Tory raiders had killed his father. Lack of adequate communication between units, and between officers and men, aggravated the Patriots’ thirst for revenge. Finally, Colonels Shelby and Campbell managed to halt the shooting and restore a semblance of order.
the over the mountain army all but vanished into legend. But it was no myth. It was formed to meet a specific threat. A fighting force that belied its lack of training and discipline, it vanquished Ferguson’s trained Loyalists as intended, then melted into the backwoods from which it had come.
Their mistakes. Also realize that the Ultra Secret was not declassified until 1974. There is a lot of history about WWII written prior to 1974 that needs revised based on the revelations of the Ultra Secret.
Ferguson had a chance, I believe at Brandywine, to shoot George Washington.lest not forget
It is very likely,’ wrote Pat Alderman in 1968 in a detailed account of the battle, ‘that many shots were fired into the body during this episode.’ Ferguson was a hated man, Tarleton’s massacre at Waxhaw was well remembered, the backwoods war was at its savage height, the victorious Patriots’ blood was up, and in the heat of a desperate battle that would not have been the only vengeful act committed by the King’s aroused opponents.American Revolutionary War: Battle of King's Mountain

He decided not to fire as Washington's back was to Ferguson. The sharpshooter didn't believe a gentleman should be shot in the back.
So History could have been very different that day.
She’s a definite working class chick from an urban background. Not a corn fed girl next door.
Frank Abagnale had an interesting life for certain. His real message is towards the end.
Do you have any idea how long it takes to eat a moose? I mean even including giving away a boatload?

Ultra wasn't declassified in 1974...
It was leaked by a self-serving poncy upper-class twit named Frank Winterbotham, who was entrusted with Ultra information during the war... signed the Official Secrets Act and violated every oath he ever took to publish his self-serving book "The Ultra Secret."
He disgraced himself and until his death in the 1990's was considered a pariah in the codebreaking and intelligence community. Fucking little Oxford and Public Boys School little shit.
Yes, it's an amazing story. Yes, there are whole swaths of WW2 history that need to be re-written on the basis of Ultra. But in 1974 there were still repercussions including people whose lives were endangered (and lost) behind the Iron Curtain as a resut of his disclosures.
It's an amazing story. At every level. And part of me says it should be told. But the way that little shit leaked it all had repercussions throughout Western Intelligence for years. All so he could get a self-aggrandizing book out and tell everyone how much he knew.
He should have been shot.

how many pounds of meat do you harvest - how many pounds you can eat a day = your answer.
My moose dressed at 960. We got about 400 lbs of meat. I gave away about half. And took 4 years to finish the last of it from the freezer….how many pounds of meat do you harvest - how many pounds you can eat a day = your answer.
Bison was about 600 pounds of meat. Still eating bison burgers!!! From 2018.
Vacuum sealed before freezing… lasts forever!

Nothing says delicious meat like a nice pile of bloody roadkill.

Psychopaths don't read Solzhenitsyn.
If I was a teacher I would have his book be required reading. EVERYONE on the planet should read his book.....if you are too lazy to read there are audio versions. Do it, not like anyone here needs their eyes opened.....well a few do, and I have a feeling they are the subjects of this quote.
Imagine how bad EV are handling the cold. Suckers.
The funny and ironic thing is that whenver the communists take over in ANY country, the first people they murder and send to the camps are the teachers. Along with the activists, the blue-hair-nose-ring freaks, the fruits, the lawyers, the intellectuals, the college-educated, the ethnic minorities and the military leaders...
They will subjegate the working people and the farmers.
But they'll kill and imprison all the categories of people who are currently rooting for socialism and can't wait to get on the shining path. Totally ignorant of history... that demonstrates without a doubt that these cheerleading morons will be the ones in the camps and the Killing Fields.
So... why are we hindering progress, I wonder? Let the socialists take over. Empty the cities. Kill off the fruits. And then we can dig up the firepower and kill off the socialists? Kind of like ripping the bandage off. Not taking 72 years to do it like those dumb-ass Russians or 45 (or 56) years for the dumb-ass Germans... depending on which Socialists one is referring to.
Just 'sayin.
Maybe the Gulags are part of the solution?

Only problem is the people that would be digging up the firepower are the ones that are arrested and killed....you left out torture, they just love that.
You are right it is every place it has been tried every time.
Perhaps we resist because we know we will be in the "re education camps" first. Perhaps we resist because it is the right thing to do. Perhaps a little of both.
It does not matter, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Chavez, Castro, or the current group. We just don't hear about the current group as our so called media is in lock step with them. And the same thing will happen to media, they will be locked up.
I personally have zero doubt the "fruits and nutz" are being used, they are just too stupid to know it. Women got used, blacks got used, latinos got used, "general" gay's got used. And a great many of them have come to realize it. And people like Rubin (I think gay) are some big cheerleaders now for the other side.
They have moved on to other "fruits and nutz" to use, climate change, and really mentally ill folk, and they are now using these people to gain their power, and this is why we are seeing the pedo laws....one reason anyway, they partake of that as well I have little doubt.
The difference is however the trail of the disinchanted they are leaving in their wake, this is wider then usual and a new thing. And as we are seeing a issue. If a member of the "favored" group starts to go off the res, like Chappelle he must be destroyed one way or the other. This is new, and I am not sure the plan will work with the destruction of the old "groups" left behind.
A moose doesn’t last a year for us…but we pretty much only eat wild meat.
I harvested a big bull moose out around King Salmon, AK in 1992. I did a poacher's cut--got the backstraps, tenderloins and one hindquarter. Couldn't fit any more on the ATC.
I went about 50 miles back to base as fast as I could--dropped something like 200 lbs of meat with my roommate to process, refueled and went back for the rest.
When I got there, all I found was a bloody drag going off into a thick patch of brush and some of the biggest bear tracks I've ever seen.
I decided that any animal strong enough to drag that huge carcass off wasn't one that I intended to argue with. The only thing I regret is that I didn't get the antlers.
I see a lot of words but they don’t really form any sort of coherent thought. It’s like someone just grabbed a handful of words from a bag and scattered them haphazardly on a piece of paper
The University Trustees should be stomping this shit out... period.
