For all those Johnny Rebs out there . . .

Get out the way! Ole Dan Tucker! You're too late for your supper!

Hello, hope you are all fine.

To start, I'm 67 going 68 soon.  5 foot 11.  Weighed at 107 kilos or about 238 lbs I guess.  Bulging belly which I despise.  Weak legs and not motivated anymore apart from home duties as wife works hard.

Wife or 'true love' or truey as I call her here shouted me a holiday on the coast in a cabin and there was fishing to be had.  We had a fine time.  But, I was drinking heaps up to and during the holiday and to be honest it didn't really affect me normally.  During my binges I continuously ate.  Then crashed on the lunge or bed snoring.  Retirement will be my death.  I don't drink when I have obligations like driving or working and fixing machinery here.  I drink after I relax.

I take meds for very high Blood Pressure and reflux only and have done for a couple of years.

So, moving on.  After our little holiday I was feeling very unwell, weak and nausea was setting in and I couldn't even look at food or alcohol.  Smoking tobacco made me feel il.  By the middle of the week I tried eating and got sick.  So I stopped eating.  No alcohol and just drank water. No doctors nearby here so I looked at google and You Choob.  There was a heap of stuffs to watch and read.  Learnt about Autophagy.  Never heard of it.  Apparently burns fat real quick.  Catch is, need to drink water, no food for at least 48 hours.  So I checked the time and declared from that point I'd give it a go.  ( I have been without food for up to 24 and 36 hours in the past - yetch) But.....

24 hours -  Drank about 4 litres of water throughout. (Bout 1 gallon) Took my meds and had a black unsweetened coffee (which is allowed).  Hunger pains and cravings.  Headache ensued.  Face flushed. Head hot. Dizzy near the end.  Had to lay down.  Sleep didn't come easy and constantly going to the toilet to pee.  Head fog and Tinnitus increased making hearing a bit difficult.  Lost motivation to work but did the house work.  (good Bally I was).  Waking up early in the morning, had the runs until everything I felt was flushed out.  The coffee made me go again.  Very weak. 

Over the 2nd day - 4 to 5 litres of water throughout.  Took my meds. Stomach churning.  Head aching more.  Lethargic.  Weak.  Hot flushed face. Tinnitus  roaring, sounded like whistling rushing wind.  Nasal discharge.  Peeing quite a lot.  (off the balcony onto the lawn).  Had a black tea, no sweetener.  Bit bland so I picked a lemon.  Put a thin slice into the brew without rind.  (allowed)  Let it sit then drank the brew and chucked the lemon slice.  Bout 10 minutes later felt very ill.  Told truey I'm going for a walk.  So I did and promptly retched.  (Something I haven't done for a while)  Apart from a small amount of clear fluid basically nothing came out (Just dribble) and I puked for about a couple of minutes on my hands and knees in the paddock.  So, I washed up, took a few sips of water.  Nausea went away.  Head throbbed.  Face flushed and the top half of the bod heated up.  I stripped my top of and rinsed my face and hair until I cooled down.  Not enjoying this.  

Stuck to water and had a glass with a pinch of salt.  Mouth was tasting yuck.  Body cooled and felt confident to put my T-shirt back on.  One thing I noticed then was my stomach wasn't bloating.  I rested for a while after truey went to work.  I got up saying "f this" .  Had to do something.  Damn headache so I prepped a large cut of lamb for slicing into jerky.  Took my mind off how I felt.  Dogs and cats enjoyed the scraps.  Made a couple of marinades and soaked portions of jerky in each for dehydrating tomorrow.  Strangely, I wasn't feeling hungry.  With chores completed and jerky lamby in the fridge  I thought a good cup of black coffee would help alleviate the headache.  Tasted fine and headache subsided to a dull brow ache above the eyes.  To keep occupied truey had picked out some areas in the treed area of the top paddock to be mowed with the rideon.  So with water and tobacco on hand I fuelled up and went a mowing.  Spent an hour and a bit but hand to retire.  Feeling weak and head had ramped up again.  

I spent the rest of the day and evening looking over stuffs on the laptop.  Hunger pains surged and went.  Headache continuing. Stayed up to 11pm until truey got home.  Watched a bit of TV with her, we retired to bed.  Hard to get comfortable with a headache.  Right foot kept cramping and got up for the toilet a lot.  Lots of dreaming in short fits of sleep.  -  This is fucked I was thinking.  - 48 hours had passed.

3rd day - Usual water and meds.  Cleaned up.  Put jerky in the cooker.  Chatted with truey for a while before she had to leave for work.  Headache persisted and got a bit of pain from the sinuses.  Tinnitus - check. Added a glass of water with a pinch of salt.  Also gargled salty water to alleviate the sour taste in my mouth and sore throat followed by a coffee.  Hunger pains but I resisted the urge to taste the jerky.  (one of my favs),  Did the chores and the son arrived with a truck to pick up some furniture for his new dig.  While lifting I felt weak,  Son asked, I just said "not feeling well)  Nearly fainted while lifting one item and I had to sit down.  Very dizzy and head aching.  After he left spent some time on the laptop.  Alternating with doing some chores and checking the jerky.

By 5pm I was knackered.  Head letting me know but body started feeling a little better.  I felt like a light fizzing below my rib cage.  Seems I was burning fat.  Hunger subsided.  Although when I bagged the jerky I was tempted to taste it but didn't.  - 72 hours ticked off. I read that 100 hours fasting has better fat burn benefits. That's my goal.  At the end I'll weigh myself.  Stomach has shrunk a bit. 

Pro's so far - Cold turkey from alcohol. (might explain the constant headache)  Have noticed my gut has gotten a bit smaller.  Just one hard poop. Motivated to do it. Learning I can control urges. Not much else.

Cons so far - Ill at times, constant headache.  Tinnitus increase.  Hunger.  Concentration poor.  (Cut my finger slicing the jerky).  Peeing a lot (although it's clear fluid).  Cramps in my right foot particularly in the toes.   Poor sleep.  Fatigue easily. Dizzy when exerting self.  Bad taste in mouth.  Hot flushing.  um,,,I let you know more when I can think straight and type without making mistooks. 

I'm approaching 79 hours.  Fucken headache lol. See if I can make 100.  I'm interested to see how I feel tomorrow.

Kind regards,

Bally the boofheaded.

I can only say this is more than sad and surpasses evil IMO. Do not watch if easily upset by cruelty to kids.

For those of us who grew up in a loving caring family we should never forget there are those who are not nearly as fortunate.  

Quote:Scotty, Beam Us Up

Captain Kirk has fallen

Quote:“Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.”
The Second Coming (excerpt), by William Butler Yeats

I confess I knew little of Charlie Kirk, other than having heard his name mentioned a thousand times. I wasn’t his target audience. He spoke to Millennials and Zoomers, and his message was preaching to the choir for me. I was at his level back in the 1980s.

Following the news of him being shot, I went to his YouTube channel and watched a video uploaded hours before his death, of him speaking and debating with a crowd at University of California San Diego. He was clearly well read and articulate. He didn’t strike me as being mean, condescending, or ridiculing, even when the folks standing to debate him were clearly products of American public education.

What really struck me, even knowing how shallow and callous the GeezerMedia and SocMed (social media) are, was the inhuman glee and celebratory mood among the Wokians and Regressives (wrongly labelled Progressives in some circles). Like hyenas, they circle the camp fire, cackling and howling in a peculiarly animalistic way, waiting to pounce on the corpse and rip it to shreds when no one is looking.

The conservatives certainly have a martyr now, and a rallying point for concerted motivation and action. I seriously doubt, however, that this or any other shocking event will galvanize the movement. American conservatives are a shy lot, not prone to outrage and kinetic responses. There’s an infuriating “christian” pall over them that prevents any meaningful response. Rather, they recoil and pray and tell themselves there will be a reckoning in the hereafter.

Perhaps a more meaningful reaction is to recognize what is going on, who is doing it, and how it can be subverted. I don’t know if I can adequate answer all the questions, but I can make a good stab at it.

First off, the Kirk assassination was a professional hit. Everything about it screams teamwork. According to the Gateway Pundit, the FBI was tracking the shooter for an hour before the incident, and has clear video of the shooter before, during and after the shooting. Why they didn’t act should be obvious. In any case, amateurs use handguns at very close range (< 2 yards/meters), while professionals use rifles at 200-500 yards. Imagine shooting a log at the opposite end of two football fields, and at least 2-3 yards below your eye level.

Second, the FBI reports the rifle was found in the woods nearby, with various pro-transsexual, anti-Trump and anti-fascist slogans somehow etched on the bullet casings. This is clearly a red herring to rile MAGA/conservatives and turn them against specific groups. This is an obvious ruse, since all other facts but this point to a professional hit.

Third, Kirk appears to have been wearing a bulletproof vest. This means the killer either knew that and was going for a head shot, or the killer was trying for a heart shot and the vest deflected the bullet into Kirk’s throat and spine.

Fourth, Joseph Farrell is reporting that his sources tracked a private jet leaving Provo, Utah an hour after the shooting, and the plane “disappeared” from tracking shortly after take-off.

Putting all this together, it sounds as if there is a Fifth Column active within the US government, using the various agencies and departments to both execute and hide operations designed to cause division, rage and violent reactions.

The term “fifth column” comes from the Spanish Civil War (1936–39): during the siege of Madrid, Nationalist General Emilio Mola supposedly said he had four columns of troops advancing on the city — and a “fifth column” of sympathisers already inside Madrid, ready to sabotage and weaken the defenders. Since then, it’s become shorthand for traitors, infiltrators, or subversives operating under cover of loyalty.

This would explain judges who repeatedly release violent criminals in an effort to cause grievous harm and turn people against the institutions of government. The apparent incompetence of agencies like the Secret Service and FBI allow operations to be planned and carried out with minimal law enforcement interference or effectiveness—as in Trump’s attempted assassination.

Fascists/Socialists are well-known for employing fifth columns in taking over nations.

1. Czechoslovakia (1938–39)
   
   • The Sudeten German Party (led by Konrad Henlein) whipped up unrest among ethnic Germans.
     
   • This gave Hitler a pretext for intervention, undermining Prague from within.
     
2. Norway (1940)
   
   • Vidkun Quisling and his Nasjonal Samling party openly collaborated.
     
   • Quisling’s name became synonymous with “traitor.”
     
   • Local Nazi sympathizers guided German troops and disrupted Norwegian defenses.
     
3. Netherlands, Belgium, France (1940)
   
   • Fascist and pro-German groups carried out sabotage and spread defeatism.
     
   • The Nazis also planted agents to cut communications and mislead defenders during invasions.
     
4. Yugoslavia and Greece (1941)
   
   • Ethnic German minorities (Volksdeutsche) often supported German troops with intelligence and sabotage.
     
   • Collaborationist factions later helped the occupiers administer the countries.
     

Psychological warfare gave the sense that enemies were already inside the gates demoralized defenders. Sabotage & intelligence helped cut railways, spread false orders, or secure airfields. Propaganda from Nazi radio and leaflets broadcast “you are betrayed from within” messages to sow confusion.

Does any of this sound familiar with regard to the current situation within the US?

Keep in mind that in the Far Side view, there’s hardly a whit’s worth of difference between Marxists, Leninists, Stalinists, Maoists, Communists, Socialists, and Fascists. These are all subtle variations on the same ideology with the same tactics and methods: fill up the schools, local and regional governments. They maximize discord, division and violence. They seek utter chaos in order to install their solutions, and those who refuse to submit are slaughtered my the millions.

From the end of the 19th century until now, we have seen the same playbook used over and over across the globe, and always with the same results: death, despair, collapse, and ruin.

In the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk murder, it is absolutely vital that folks do not react emotionally and attack targets specifically chosen for them. Rather, step back, take a breath, and have a cold hard look at who is really behind all of it. There is a single, transnational and very well-funded organization that plays us like well-tempered claviers.

Charlie Kirk’s killer was a trained professional backed up by an insertion/extraction team. The murder was for the sole purpose of goading the MAGA/conservatives into violent backlash, so that it can be used as justification for authoritarian crack-downs, as well as propaganda to warn folks away from rugged individualism and non-reliance on the Almighty State.

The proper outcome in this matter should be a strong, united and decisive movement against this form of extremism, as manifested in Wokism, Progressivism, and similar ideologies. Those who are laughing, cheering and blaming Charlie himself for this horrific tragedy are the monsters behind the violence. They must be called out, isolated, shunned. Folks need to demand justice in a controlled and dispassionate manner.

Anything short of this plays directly into the hands of the bastards who are pushing this rubbish. We cannot empower them by being herded into their slaughter houses.

This is also a test. If government does not respond appropriately and apprehend, indict and convict these monsters, then we know that the government is no longer of, by and for the people. We cannot allow the same delay and misdirection tactics used in JFK/911/2020 Riots to derail this investigation. Results now, or the united people must act with firm and decisive action. We have seen the US Senate behave in the most reprehensible and depraved way. Let them know that a line is being drawn and they are on the wrong side.

No more fearful hope that the perpetrators will receive their due in the afterlife. That will not deter evil in the here and now. We must use cold, calculating and established due process, and upon conviction the guilty must be swiftly hung, shot and/or electrified (no soft chemicals). The fifth column must be identified and rooted out before the take-over is complete. No anger, just righteous indignation. This is an existential battle, but the good folks must not descend to the animalist level of the enemy. History is watching how we handle this moment.

Other than an assassination and Nepal in ruins, it was a pretty quiet week.

There is only a single film that brilliantly captures the Zeitgeist: Judgement at Nuremburg (1961). Not only is it one of director Stanley Kramer’s best works, the cast is a veritable who’s who of A-list acting talent in the early 1960s, including Captain Kirk (William Shatner) himself. I just realized too that it was co-written by Montgomery Clift. This is a powerful message that needs to be heard again in our current morass.

How the left is gas lighting the whole assassination of Charlie Kirk..

Believe whatever you want but some of the stories are amazing IMO

Quote:This is a story about China’s past, present, and future. A poor, mute, and deaf man born in the 1950s claimed he was the reincarnation of China’s founding father. From a young age, this crippled man displayed a supernormal ability: he knew the past and could foresee the future. He spoke of divine punishment for a grave mistake he had made in his previous life as the founder of the Republic of China—the fatal alliance with Russian communists that brought communism into China. For that, he paid dearly in this lifetime. Most astonishing of all, he left behind a prophecy about the person destined to end the communist regime.

A Marine friend of mine once said, " We need to put our military on the southern borders and have them move south cleaning out the cartels and crooks. Maybe stop around the Panama canal which would be a real border we could defend." 

There are no doubt many Mexican nationals who would appreciate the helping hand... No not all as those who depend on the drug trade would not be happy. I met one of the body guards for some big wig in the Gulf Cartel; nice unassuming guy who exercised/ran every day and would not eat red meat??

The head of security for Los Zetas was a cousin of a girl I used to know. She grew up with him and said he was always very nice to the family. He had only been shot in the leg " just once " in all the years with Los Zetas ..

With the bought and paid for politicians and law enforcement on both sides of the border maybe my Marine friend way back when had the answer ? 

The Mexican Marine commander in Matamoros, Mexico  was receiving a monthly payment from one of the Cartels (long time ago so I do not remember which cartel it was only the were just about shutting Matamoros down.. If you drove a bus, owned a business, or anything else to include being a real estate agent  they wanted their share of your money... No pay and no life for you; they were always smart as all you have to do is kill a few and the rest get the idea..... So a new Cartel wanted to move into Matamoros and offered the Marine Major more monthly income if he would remove the current Cartel leadership.. Tony the Terrible was his name if I remember correctly so with two APCs one with a (I was told) Quad 50 cal machine gun; to me that is anti-aircraft fire power ??) and over 100 Mexican troops they hit Tony's hacienda killing him and a few of his pistoleros... Not all were killed as two escaped and went to Houston, Texas as they carried duel citizenship. 

Most people really have no idea just how strong and entrenched the Cartels and underworld of crime and dirty deeds are in the world. 

7 and 13 year old kids were killed execution style along with their mom and dad put in plastic bags and left knowing the smell would finally make someone notice.

Quote:Alleged Leader of Sinaloa Cartel Faction Indicted in Chicago on Terrorism, Drug Trafficking, and Firearm Charges

Friday, September 5, 2025

A federal grand jury has indicted an alleged leader of a violent faction of the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico on terrorism, drug, and firearm charges, including engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise.
According to the superseding indictment returned yesterday in the Northern District of Illinois, Oscar Manuel Gastelum Iribe, 50, of Sinaloa, Mexico, also known as El Musico, directed the importation of large quantities of fentanyl, cocaine, heroin, and other drugs — at times in shipments of hundreds or thousands of kilograms — into the United States on behalf of the Beltran Leyva faction of the Sinaloa Cartel, a designated foreign terrorist organization.
“As alleged, Oscar Manuel Gastelum Iribe led a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel that flooded the United States with fentanyl, cocaine, and heroin and used murder and intimidation to protect its profits,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew R. Galeotti of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “The Sinaloa Cartel has been designated a foreign terrorist organization because of the kinds of crimes announced today. This indictment further demonstrates that the Criminal Division will use every tool at its disposal to target cartel leaders, including by holding them accountable for acts of terrorism against our country.”
“Today’s narcoterrorism indictment of El Musico sends a powerful message that this Administration is going to aggressively pursue transnational criminal organizations and hold their highest-ranking members and associates accountable for poisoning the American public with illegal and harmful drugs,” said U.S. Attorney Andrew S. Boutros for the Northern District of Illinois. “The Chicago U.S. Attorney’s Office has a proud history going back many decades of prosecuting some of the nation’s biggest and most significant narcotrafficking cartel cases. Building on that tradition, under my leadership, our office will continue to prioritize the investigation and prosecution of violent drug cartels, several of which, including the Sinaloa Cartel, have very deservedly been designated as foreign terrorist organizations. Working closely with other prosecutors and law enforcement partners across the United States, our goal remains unchanged: to disrupt and dismantle the Sinaloa Cartel’s drug empire and bring its leaders to justice.”
“From narcocorridos to narcoterrorist. El Musico famously writes his own lyrics, but his next one will be written from the Bureau of Prisons,” said U.S. Attorney Adam Gordon for the Southern District of California. “As El Musico once boasted, ‘La vida es curiosa, hoy soy poderoso,’ but soon his ‘Rancho Querido’ will be nothing but a distant memory.”
“This indictment sends a clear and uncompromising message: cartel leaders who flood our streets with fentanyl and arm their networks with machine guns and grenades are not just drug traffickers — they are terrorists,” said DEA Administrator Terrance Cole. “Oscar Manuel Gastelum Iribe and his faction turned cartel violence into a campaign of terror, targeting police, military, and civilians alike. DEA remains relentless in our pursuit of these narco-terrorists, and we will not stop until the Sinaloa Cartel — and every organization like it — is dismantled, its leaders brought to justice, and American families protected.”
“The indictment of El Musico and the dismantlement of the leadership structure of these foreign terrorist organizations are direct results of the unwavering commitment of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and our law enforcement partners to protect the United States,” said Special Agent in Charge Shawn Gibson of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations San Diego. “We remain resolute in our mission to bring all members of these criminal cartels to justice, regardless of where they attempt to evade accountability.”
“As a leader of a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel, Gastelum Iribe allegedly directed the importation of cocaine, heroine, fentanyl, and other lethal drugs into the United States and oversaw atrocious acts of violence, including kidnappings and murders, in Mexico,” said Special Agent in Charge Reid Davis of the FBI Washington Field Office’s Criminal Division. “The superseding indictment against him is the result of years of collaboration among multiple federal agencies and judicial districts. The FBI and our partners will continue to work toward dismantling the Sinaloa Cartel and bringing its violent leaders — including El Musico — to justice.”
After the arrest or death of the faction’s original leaders, Gastelum Iribe assumed a leadership role and conspired with associates to distribute drugs nationwide. including in the Chicago area, using cars, trucks, rail cars, and other interstate carriers. To protect the cartel’s operations, Gastelum Iribe allegedly ordered and carried out violent attacks against rivals, military personnel, and law enforcement, including ordering the murder of a Mexican police officer and two others. Under Gastelum Iribe’s leadership, the faction armed its members with machine guns, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, explosives, and other weapons, while also engaging in kidnappings, assaults, and bribery of corrupt public officials.
Gastelum Iribe is charged with terrorism, drug trafficking, and firearm offenses. The terrorism charges, which accuse Gastelum Iribe of engaging in narcoterrorism and providing material support and resources to the Sinaloa Cartel, is a result of President Trump’s Executive Order 14157 designating the Sinaloa Cartel as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and the State Department’s subsequent designation of the same in February of this year.
If convicted, Gastelum Iribe faces a mandatory penalty of life in prison. He is not in custody and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
The indictment is the result of a collaboration between prosecutors in the Criminal Division’s Narcotic and Dangerous Drug Section, the Northern District of Illinois, and Southern District of California, as well as law enforcement partners from Homeland Security Investigations, FBI, and DEA.
This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime. Operation Take Back America streamlines efforts and resources from the Department’s OCDETF and Project Safe Neighborhoods.
An indictment is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Quote:Declassified Video Shows US Trying to Shoot Down UFO

A missile reportedly struck a mysterious orb off the coast of Yemen last year, captured in a striking video shown Tuesday at a hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).
The footage shows an MQ-9 Reaper drone tracking the object before a second drone fires a Hellfire missile, sending fragments tumbling around it.
The video was presented at a session of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, which investigates the release of government materials in the public interest. Republican Congressman Eric Burlison of Missouri said the footage, recorded on October 30, 2024, came from a whistleblower and is now undergoing independent review.
