Do we know that account is real? No blue check. Weird for a Police agency.

He had a full uniform and a Police vehicle. Dude put some planning into it. At the second house he visited, Cops showed up and said he exchanged fire, but still managed to escape.
He left a manifesto in the Cop car. All they have said so far is it had a "list" of targets on it.

BBC acting like they know more than Mossad is quite humorous.
re: What are the bare minimum tools for a home?
Posted by AUstar on 6/14/25 at 4:07 am
As an average dude who does some random shite around the house, but nowhere near a pro in any trade, I would say:
Minimum:
1) Screwdriver set. Philips, Flat and Robertson
2) Electric drill
3) Drill bit set
4) Screw bit set (the kind that comes with a bunch of bits: Philips, Flat, Torx, Hex etc.)
5) 16 oz hammer
6) Tape measure
7) Torpedo level and a 3 foot level
8) Locking pliers (come in handy for tons of shite)
9) Either an adjustable wrench or a wrench set.
10) Ratchet wrench with a bit set. I use my power tools for this stuff 90% of the time, but it can't hurt to have a manual ratchet wrench around.
Basic Woodworking:
Everything under "minimum" plus:
1) Miter saw
2) Circular saw for making long cuts.
3) Impact driver
4) Chalk line
5) Carpenter's square and/or Rafter angle square.
Miscellaneous:
1) Impact wrench. Really nice for removing or tightening larger bolts or lugs.
2) Clamp meter - You can buy decent multimeters with an AC/DC clamp for about $40. (No need to buy a Fluke - you're not going to be using it daily). These meters come in handy for battery checks, voltage, capacitor checks, or reading inrush current, etc.
3) Torque wrench - Harbor Freight has them for like $15. Nice for tightening lugs on your car to a specific specification. Can be used for any bolt or lug that needs to be tightened to a certain spec. Around the house, you will mostly only use it for vehicles or lawnmowers and the like.

I don't know. Maybe but it seems doubtful
I guarantee that CIA has assets in high places that would probably surprise many people. Remember, money always talks and they pay well.

Looks like the F35 was a huge waste of money.
re: Does Europe have any Rednecks?
Posted by AUstar on 6/13/25 at 1:06 am
England has them. Their "West Country" area is often made fun of for being redneck. Interestingly, the West Country people pronounce words like Americans and not with the "posh" accent of London. This is a clue where a lot of Americans originated from.
If you go to Outer Banks of NC or out to Tangier Island, people there sound like West Country people to this day (due to their isolation).

re: Remember when we crippled Iran's nuclear capabilities via Stuxnet?
Posted by AUstar on 6/13/25 at 12:26 am
Stuxnet was a joint project with Israel. And it only slowed them down. The fact is that any half way developed country can build a nuke. It's not that hard (it's expensive but not "hard"). It's not a secret today like it was in 1945.
Unfortunately, the only way to stop it is by force. And unless you go to all out war and completely overthrow a government, these attacks will only slow them down.

re: Is it only retards that get in car accidents?
Posted by AUstar on 6/11/25 at 4:39 am
Mid 40's. Been driving since age 15 and never been in an accident at all. I have never had the misfortune of being in one caused by someone else either.
Just the other day I was at a red light in left turning lane. I was 2nd in line behind some other guy. Light turned green and old baw pulled out to make his turn. But I am smart and I always check traffic before pulling out. Sure enough I see an SUV barreling down the road not stopping for the red light. It was like watching in slow motion. I saw it coming a mile away. Sure enough, wham...The SUV hits the baw in front of me right in his driver's door at full speed. Some chick was driving the offending car.
No it wasn't his fault, but I hope he learned a valuable lesson. Always check traffic when light turns green. Some people are on their phones, are drunk, or are just trying to beat the light.

I'm unfamiliar with Singham; who is he?
A billionaire who is in bed with Chyna. This is well known and acknowledged. He is basically their agent in the U.S. and funds radical commie groups to destabilize the country. Basically an active measures campaign like the USSR used to do. The difference is that Singham doesn't hide it. He is openly a Maoist commie.
He is married to one of the founders of Code Pink. Since their marriage Code Pink has went from "anti-war" to being a Chinese propaganda machine. Code Pink's shift to pro China has been acknowledged even by people on the left.
Singham is American but lives in China. He is basically a traitorous pos.

My grandfather was there with Army infantry and landed on the beach on one of those landing crafts. He said one of his buddies got blown to bits as soon as he stepped off. My grandfather won a medal for carrying some guy off the beach who was wounded.
He rarely discussed it though.

re: Not a Bill Maher fan, but this was a pretty good segment(short)
Posted by AUstar on 5/31/25 at 12:29 pm
Maher is a George Carlin disciple. Carlin also used to blast both the left and right. Carlin would mostly focus on the right's overly conservative social views, but also blast the left for their ridiculous wokeism.
