I have deleted posts made by someone from 71.123.157.140 who is posting under several nyms, each pretending to debate the others in the 'Home Front: Politix' section of comments.
Be gone, troll/moby, we're on to you. You're banned.

I have been busily blocking a troll, who is brilliant in the black arts of hacking. If my fat f*cking fingers have blocked you without good reason, please contact me at grurkka@gmail.com, or use a proxy and post here or in the O-club.
This election season, only four days old, is apparently gonna be one helluva ride, so I do hope our regulars and guest will bear with us as we try to keep discourse civil and well reasoned.

We have a saying in Oklahoma. Offense wins games, but defense wins championships.
I just played some defense.
By now you are discovering that at least five of the networks you use are banned, but please, by all means, log in using others. We really need to update our ban lists.

Seems in the long run it would be better to pick a nym and argue respectfully. We both may learn something. Warning: sarcasm tags are optional here.

Arguing respectfully won't get you paid... Which of the mutually incompatible positions the troll was stating was what you think he actually believed Gorb?
#8
Oh. Sorry. A real troll. His comments on actual threads were already mopped up by the time I came along. I was hoping they at least were at least all pointed in the same general direction, even if he was being a butt.

Just a reminder, not all of us who use TOR are trolls. Blocking this troll would block some of us too. There are legitimate security reasons for it.
Legitimate security reasons if you are connecting to a Tor server? But you're not, are you? You are using a proxy through http, and not TOR. This website doesn't service TOR requests, it doesn't even make TOR requests.
You can twist and turn technical terms until you are a Belgian pretzel, but the fact remains, you are using http to troll a website and a web community which has done nothing to you.
[Gateway Pundit] Jesse Wineberry, a Seattle Democrat running for Congress, was detained after driving a van that was reported stolen and being extremely uncooperative with police. And now he’s claiming a "conspiracy" to stifle his political career, according to a police report.
Seattle Police Officer Benjamin Flick found a red Toyota that had been reported stolen in the 1500 block of Occidental Avenue South on July 20, according to the report. Wineberry, 61, was the driver and was asked repeatedly to exit the vehicle but did not comply.
After being asked three times to exit the van, he began to drive away from the officers but was quickly stopped. On the fifth command, Wineberry finally started to comply.
But Wineberry again ignored police commands, even with more officers arriving.
Wineberry, according to the report, would not "place his hands behind his back" even after being asked nine times. Instead, he told them to "Stop f****ing with me." He then resisted arrest, refusing to allow officers to place handcuffs on his wrist. At one point, Wineberry allegedly "place[d] his left hand onto the ... gun belt of one of the officers." At the time, he denied reaching for the officer’s gun.
Finally, Wineberry was placed in handcuffs but refused to sit in the back of the patrol car.

If modern day journalists knew exactly how powerful, rapid firing and accurate today's naval artillery is, they would need Depends everytime they write a story about it.
A British tabloid made an embarrassing error Friday, writing a hysterical piece that incorrectly reported the Defence Ministry had paid hundreds of millions of pounds to buy a five-inch-long gun.
“We just blew £183m on a five-inch gun, but it’s ‘a good value for taxpayers,’” read the outraged headline from The Daily Star. The subheadline also reinforced that the author believed the gun was literally five inches, calling it “the length of a toothbrush.”
The only problem? Five-inch guns are named after their caliber, not their length. They shoot munitions that are five inches in diameter, meaning the guns themselves are necessarily huge.

Shhh! Don't confuse the reporters with facts. It just confuses and irritates them.
Then they feel they have to waste even more ink reasserting their moral superiority.

What happens when too many left-wing governments essentially ban guns. The door to a tyrannical government is opened. You can bet the thugs still have access to firearms and free fire zones.

It's either a Glock or an AK-47. Since it doesn't have a pistol grip, forestock or a magazine clip thingy with more than 10 rounds , it's not an assault weapon.
Ht Fausta. How long before Obama gives in? Two weeks?
Representatives of the deeply pro-Castro Obama administration will be meeting this thursday and friday with representatives of the Castro regime in Washington D.C. to discuss "mutual compensation issues."
Yes, "mutual."
The U.S. and the Castro Kingdom will discuss two issues: American property stolen by the Castro regime and "damages" inflicted on the Castro Kingdom by the U.S. "blockade."
According to the Castro regime the U.S. claims amount to 121.192 million dollars, whatever that means.
Well, when all is said and done, the actual amount really doesn't matter, for it is the disproportionate gap between the amount owed to Castrogonia and the amount owed to the U.S. that begs the question. You see, the Castro regime is claiming that it is owed 833.755 million dollars, for "damages" inflicted on it by the U.S. "blockade."
Yes, you've got that right: the Castro regime claims that it is owed roughly SEVEN times more than it owes the U.S.

Every year, the USG sends Cuba a check for the lease of Guantanamo Bay. With the exception of the first year or two, those checks haven't been cashed.
Prolly devastating in the submarine races context as well.
"The deadly group of stealthy underwater weapons are currently patrolling the world and have already reportedly breached UK waters having approached the Royal Navy's base in Faslane, Scotland.
Russia is stepping up its secret submarine programme to "Cold War" levels and experts warn NATO members "no longer" have the defences to stop the aquatic death machines.
Andrew Metrick, who co-wrote the report for the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), said: "Russia operates a small number of very small, nuclear powered submarines that are capable of diving in excess of several thousand meters.
"You can imagine what a clandestine deployable deep submergence vehicle could be used for."

"You can imagine what a clandestine deployable deep submergence vehicle could be used for."
Ask the US SubForce! We've been doing it for decades.
diving in excess of several thousand meters.
Yeah, one time. It's called going below crush depth or not maintaining submergence to surface ratio of 1. Whatta maroon!

a clandestine deployable deep submergence vehicle is pretty much the textbook definition of a submarine.
So the Russians are working on their navy while we finish our doctorate on "The Role of Transgendered Personnel in Undersea Warfare". tl;dr: they have money. we're stupid.
Informal traffic analysis shows a steady stream of news and commentary like this about war with Russia. Seems a tad suspicious given the current problems with Islam - not that the media would ever coordinate attacks on the target du jour at the behest of their political masters.

[DAWN] A "hot headed" waiter at a Lahore restaurant allegedly assaulted a guest before fleeing the place, the restaurant's management issued a media release on Saturday and extended an apology in this regard.
A government officer, Ahsan Anwer Khokar -- who visited Rina's Kitchenette in the city's Defence Housing Authority (DHA) with his family -- was reportedly attacked by an unruly waiter with a tray after he complained about his order being too late in the incident which occurred Friday night, eye witnesses said.
The video of the incident, recorded by an eye witness, went viral on social media before being removed by the up-loader on victim's request.
"One of the waiters just slashed a wooden board on a customers face right across our table three times and then broke a glass on the other table where another family was sitting. The client's face was bleeding profusely and everyone was traumatised and is still shaken," said Shayan Azmat, the eye witness who recorded the whole incident on video.
"The victim only wanted to meet the manager because they kept him waiting for 40 minutes for their order and then said that the particular food was not available," another eye witness wrote in a post on social media.
People commenting on the post, however, are also saying the waiter reacted after he was verbally abused the customer.
The restaurant's management, in a post on its Facebook page apologised and claimed that they have submitted a request to the police to register an FIR against the waiter on eatery's behalf.
"In our industry there is no excuse for something like this. People will say that the waiter was provoked, that he was baited, a few will ask for the other side of the story. The truth is that there is no other side of the story; there is no excuse for violence. The waiter was hot headed and acted in rage and we strongly believe that there is no amount of provocation that justifies his act." reads the post.

[DAWN] LAHORE: A man in Vehari district allegedly killed his two sisters in the name of "honour" for marrying the persons of their choice, police sources told Dawn on Saturday.
"Nasir Hussain killed his two sisters, Ghazala and Kausar for marrying outside their caste and later fled the area," said Station House Office (SHO) Mitro cop shoppe Mehar Riaz.
The police officer said that the victims' father Atta Muhammad Bhatti registered a First Information Report (FIR) in Mitro cop shoppe against his son Nasir Hussain for killing Ghazala, 22, and Kausar, 20, days before their formal wedding ceremony.
"The brother rubbed out both the sisters yesterday and fled the site," the officer said, adding that a search was underway. "It is a simple case of killing for honour."
Father of the family Atta Mohammad told news hounds that Hussain had "destroyed everything".
"He ruined my family, he destroyed us, he destroyed everything" Mohammad said.
The perpetrators of so-called honour killings -- in which the victim, normally a woman, is killed by a relative -- often walk free because they can seek forgiveness for the crime from another family member.
