Rifle rounds are very hard to defend against, but it’s interesting to note that the 5.56X45 did a little better at penetrating than the 7.62X39.

PJM.

It is alleged that, unbeknownst to Harvard University, beginning in 2011, Lieber became a “Strategic Scientist” at Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) in China.  He later became [a] contractual participant in China’s Thousand Talents Plan from at least 2012 through 2015.  China’s Thousand Talents Plan is one of the most prominent Chinese talent recruitment plans designed to attract, recruit, and cultivate high-level scientific talent in furtherance of China’s scientific development, economic prosperity and national security.  According to court documents, these talent recruitment plans seek to lure Chinese overseas talent and foreign experts to bring their knowledge and experience to China, and they often reward individuals for stealing proprietary information.  Under the terms of Lieber’s three-year Thousand Talents contract, WUT allegedly paid Lieber a salary of up to $50,000 USD per month, living expenses of up to 1 million Chinese Yuan (approximately $158,000 USD at the time) and awarded him more than $1.5 million to establish a research lab at WUT.  In return, Lieber was obligated to work for WUT “not less than nine months a year” by “declaring international cooperation projects, cultivating young teachers and Ph.D. students, organizing international conference[s], applying for patents and publishing articles in the name of [WUT].”

You can blame SARS-CoV-2 on people like him and Anthony Fauci for his gain-of-function research at Fort Detrick and Wuhan Virology Laboratory.

You can find your own way of thanking them.

City Journal.

The city government has not developed a strategic response to the takeover of Capitol Hill. According to one Seattle police officer with knowledge of internal deliberations, the city’s “leadership is in chaos” and “the mayor has made the decision to let a mob of 1,000 people dictate public safety policy for a city of 750,000.” The officer said that Chief Best had dispatched high-ranking police officials to the autonomous zone to establish a line of communication, but the officials were immediately sent away by armed paramilitaries at the barricades. “The tide of public opinion is on the side of the activists and they’re pushing the envelope as far as they can,” said the officer. “It’s not hyperbolic to say the endgame is anarchy.”

Politically, the Seattle City Council has already begun to champion the protesters’ demands. Socialist Alternative councilwoman Kshama Sawant declared the takeover a “victory” against “the militarized police force of the political establishment and the capitalist state.” Three councilmembers have signaled support for a 50 percent reduction in the police budget, with additional councilmembers likely to support a similar policy in the coming weeks. Sawant also opened Seattle’s City Hall—which had been closed by the mayor—to protesters, who immediately occupied the building.

The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone has set a dangerous precedent: armed left-wing activists have asserted their dominance of the streets and established an alternative political authority over a large section of a neighborhood. They have claimed de facto police power over thousands of residents and dozens of businesses—completely outside of the democratic process. In a matter of days, Antifa-affiliated paramilitaries have created a hardened border, established a rudimentary form of government based on principles of intersectional representation, and forcibly removed unfriendly media from the territory.

As I said before, to me this is easy with any real leadership.  Where do I start?

Trespassing, petty larceny, felonious theft, felonious assault, assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit crimes, numerous traffic violations, and kidnapping.

But there is no real leadership left.

It just has to do with whose borders, where they are, and who those borders keep out.

So the anarchists are building a… border wall. Okey-dokey. https://t.co/QNTxgVcpHn

From John Guandolo at Understanding The Threat.

This morning, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Milley, U.S. Army, publicly came against the President of the United States and apologized for being with President Trump when he walked to St. John’s Church in Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C. and held up a bible.

This behavior should be understood as an act of treason and sedition as General Milley’s comments are not only regurgitations of communist narratives, but directly contradict his duty under his oath to crush insurrections against the United States as the senior U.S. military leader under the direction of the President.  However, General Milley is clueless about the communist and Islamic Counter-State operations in America which makes him ignorant of the very things he is required to know under professional standards of conduct.

Milley’s comments come on the heals of similar traitorous remarks by General Mattis, Admiral Mullen, and Secretary of Defense Esper.

UTT’s recommendation prior to President Trump’s inauguration was that every military officer with stars on their shoulders be fired.  A Lieutenant Colonel leading the miltary services could not possibly make things worse than general officers who were and are at the helm as America lost wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and elsewhere because they were too unprofessional to actually know or even try to know the enemy.

Firing all of the generals would have been a good start, as well as never hiring Kelly or Mattis to do their jobs.

I think this is actually fairly easy.  If the city decides not to shoot them (which is the approach I would take), they can just cut off power, cordon off the perimeter and disallow supplies, cut internet, cut cell phone service, cut off gas, and cut off water, and as they come out one-by-one, arrest them and put them in jail.  Send the morticians to pick up the remaining bodies of the die-hards.

So either way, shooting them or starving them out, this is easy, and the fact that it hasn’t been done shows that they don’t really want it to end.

They just want to be the police.

Antifa doesn't oppose police. What Antifa, a domestic terrorist organization, opposes is police who are accountable to elected officials and the laws they pass. Antifa's model is the Soviet Stasi of East Berlin: a secret police state run by totalitarians. https://t.co/UOUfiVB2SS

Read the whole thread about the things this BLM “cop” is saying he is going to do, and what he’s already done.  I told you this before.

You see, if any in our community really believes that after all of this goes down there will be an end to no-knock raids and police overreach will be reigned in, you are a naive fool.

They intend to evict the few remaining relatively good people left in law enforcement, those who still believe in some semblance of the constitution, replace them with others (MAVNI recruits, La Raza, etc.), and turn the police against you.

That will ensure that (a) you don’t fight back when they confiscate your 401K and retirement accounts, (b) you don’t fight back when they try to confiscate your weapons, (c) you don’t fight back when they enact a bill to tax inheritance, (d) you don’t fight back when they enact a bill for reparations, and (e) you don’t fight back when they socialize medicine.

Do you see?  You didn’t really believe any of this was about the cops, did you?  Tell me you saw through all of this?

And while we’re at it, BLM believes in the following.

“Economic justice for all and a reconstruction of the economy to ensure our communities have collective ownership, not merely access.”

They want your wealth.  It doesn’t belong to God, or to you, or to your family.  They don’t believe that “The good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.” To them, the only good is in them taking what you have for you and your family.

They also believe in gun control.  Not for them – for you.  You see, they will be the police, you the servant.

Got it now?

It looked to me like his car got mobbed, someone tried to drag him out of the car, and he had to defend his life with a pistol.

I’ll tell you what though, if you’ve never listened to the advice before, you should in this instance: “Stay away from crowds.”

It’s back, much to the chagrin of the controllers.
