    Remember only 4-5 companies own all of the media in the world. Now look at stocks and you will see BlackRock and Vanguard own almost everything among others. This is a system of design and corruption. The powerful people are behind the curtain.. more money than you can fathom. If you can find a crack head to kill someone for $50, what do you think someone with Billions if not Trillions of dollars can do? Remember the JFK magic bullet conspiracy? We just know what we are told, thankfully some people are more intelligent and even if they can't prove something know something is not right. How about 9/11? It is truly scary how many people take things at face value and are a sleep, just the way they like it.

    I have had about 2-2.5 years of actually digging in and opening my eyes. I have sources and information far from the mainstream media. I rarely watch the news on TV. I would trust someone filming from their mobile phone the news than the news on TV. If you can't see the gaslighting than that is because it is working on you. Things have been going on for about 80 years. It's kinda like when you see someone everyday and do not notice the little changes vs not seeing someone for at least a year and then see them you are like what happened to you. I will use the statement "we are only as good as our tools" I know people in other countries as well as have multiple sources that are checked and cross referenced. With my current resources I can not get any deeper. We have been lied to about so many things most people would not know what to believe. Frankly some just can not handle or process it. The other saying "believe half of what you see and none of what you hear" Well that definitely holds water in many cases. I always say do your own research, if you truly have an open mind you will look into things. How many things can happen until it is no longer a coincidence? I do not love Trump so let's not beat that drum. I do believe much of it is propaganda because he is a threat to those who are evil and corrupt. Why do you think they have been attacking him so much? Even with Biden as President they still are going after him. It is all to discredit him and everything they are doing is to stop him from ever being President again. I do not follow specific dates but I will guarantee you, what is coming is going to be shocking. What is more important is we are going to not only have a stock market crash, which it is already declining, we will also have a housing market crash. This is all going to go like dominos. No one has to believe me but as I said before bookmark this page because believe it or not things are going to change drastically.

    Now to quickly address this liberal and conservative / Republican and Democrat classifications. There is corruption and greed and it can happen to anyone. You can buy a cop, you can buy a judge, you can buy a politician.. Temptation is real.. It has always been harder to be good.

    Quote from Sparcky

    Factual emails and hard evidence are hardly propaganda. You are correct though, he is a threat to the general public. He was before he was prez and still is. He wasn't impeached for one reason. MONEY. Many Republicans would not speak out against him as they feared losing his support, which also comes with his money. They feared if they lost that, they would lose their seat. Over a year later, that is changing as his sway is not as powerful as it used to be in the party. More Republicans are speaking out against him.


    The Reps just need a better leader, and you might win next time around. Do you think DeSantis would do a good job?

    Thats the good thing about a Democracy, you can vote to change it if you don't like it. But don't go sulking and throw a hissy fit for 4 years saying you won, when you didn't.

    It's ok, you have been sucked into the giant propaganda machine, Mainstream Media. Don't worry all this nonsense will soon be over. Book mark this page so you can refer to it later.

    OOPS

    Trumps potential campaign, elector fraud.:00007956::00007956:

    So as in most political propaganda you will notice that they have wanted Trump gone for many years.. Why is that? Because he is a threat. They tried to impeach him 2 times and failed as well as pulling tax fraud etc.. Now this.. When all the truth comes out everyone will see just how bad things really are.

    A little information and history to pass on.



    A hundred and twelve years ago, in 1907...our great grandparents were first able to buy the rifle pictured. The semi-auto Winchester Model 1907. This is a gun they could buy from a Sears catalogue and have delivered via US Post. It was/ is a semi-automatic, high powered center fire rifle, with detachable, high capacity magazine.


    About 400,000 semi-automatic rifles were produced before WW2. Civilians had hundreds of thousands of these for 40 years, while US soldiers were still being issued old fashioned bolt action rifles.The 1907 fired just as fast as an AR15 or AK47 and the bullet (.351 Winchester) was actually larger than those fired by the more modern looking weapons.The ONLY functional difference between the 1907 and a controversial and much feared AR15 is the modern black plastic stock.


    The semi auto, so-called "assault rifle" is 110 years old. It isn't new in any way.The semi auto rifle was not a weapon of war.


    The government MADE IT a weapon of war 40 years after civilians had them.


    The semi-auto can be safely owned by civilians. The proof is that literally 3 generations of adults owned and used them responsibly and no one ever even noticed.

    Want to fix the horror of mass shootings? Fix the things that have changed for the worse in the last 50 years. Family Values, Prayer from Schools, Ten Commandments from court houses, Disciplining Kids, Morals, Violent Movies, song lyrics, Violent Killing Video Games, Drugs, What is socially acceptable, Confusion on Genders, Selfishness, Self-Centeredness,Socialism, etc. Many Hollywood types spill out words and images of hate and terrible violence. Deniro “F___k The President” & “I want to punch the President in the face”. Madonna “I want to burn down the White House”. Kathy Giffin holding a severed bloody head of the President, burning and destroying stores, looting, Lack of Accountability, Untrustworthy govt and govt agencies, …No more teaching of the Sanctity/Importance of LIfe and no more concern about Loving Your Neighbor….on and on...


    The rifle technology in question was here long before this insanity.

  • Slingshots in the Smokies 2022

    I am hoping after what I saw from this event that things are going to change. The nickle and diming needs to stop. Scott clearly things buying up everything is going to make a better event. He cheapened the products he bought and is clearly just cheap and greedy. We need to bring things back to when it was close knit and felt like family.


    No one camped out and hung out and socialized like they did in the past. The vendors used to be so busy they would be working till 1-2am! I saw vendors close up around 9-9:30 at night. I saw vendors pack up and leave the event early. I noticed the field was shrunk up with less vendors, less food trucks, no drink vendors. Prices went up and charging people to walk in?! WTF are you serious? I feel bad for many of these new Slingshot owners because they have no idea what they never experienced. I feel a change in the winds ;)

    Quote from Slingblade

    Well heck, the 9/11 attacks are barely measurable there! Why did that even make the news then? Liberal news for you.


    Since everyone dies anyway, why should there even be any laws concerning murder? Let’s have a 24/7 365 days/year purge then. FREEDOM!!


    Quote from Slingblade

    As I stated before when some other mentioned banning cars, if you want to ban cars and let the economy implode accordingly, let’s discuss it then. I’m game. This is the idiocy of the conservatives. Total false equivalence is your go to answers, along with “you can just move somewhere else”.
    Address them as in, address the licensing, registration, along with traceability and getting rid of jackasses packing them around like some idiot from a cowboy movie. It sounds like you need to grow some balls and walk out your front door without feeling the need to be packing for once.

    We just had another weekend of over a dozen multiple causality shootings (because you snowflakes hate it being called “mass shootings”). What is the only common thing in all these incidents?🤔 Could it be guns? Guns in the hands of people that you would fight for their right to have that gun, right up to the moment where they pulled said gun out and started firing away, maybe even afterwards?
    “Well, if more people had guns, they could stop those shooters!” That is the most bullshit answer imaginable. Let’s have more bullets being sprayed by ill trained, if trained in any manner, in a crowded area.

    Sorry jumping in late here but I believe I have read plenty. You sound like every liberal that wants to feel safe and take away everyone's guns. In a perfect world we could take away all the guns *poof* then the evil people would use a different tool if they want to kill someone. For instance knives have killed more people than guns. Before I go on let's talk about sensationalizing the media shall we... When a plane crashes with say 200-300 people it makes headlines and everyone is saying OMG that is awful.. when in fact more people die everyday by the thousands in cars but you do not see that in the news because it would never stop. Now let's continue... You want to argue with someone mentioning how many people die in cars compared to guns and you said the economy will implode.. You can not seem to see the trees through the forest.. The point is deaths correct? So you do not have to like the statistical facts but you do need to accept them, so remove your emotions from your replies it will help greatly. So we are not going to get rid of cars obviously and remember we all had to take a written test and a drivers test and still people have accidents. We also have illegals that drive without a license and there is nothing you can do about that until you get caught. We can talk about alcohol being banned to save lives? Drinking and driving is a big one, domestic abuse? Alcohol is a depressant. I could go on an on but honestly if you do not get the point you probably will never.

    So now let's look at guns.. Good people do good things and bad people do bad things, we can agree on that can't we? In the United States without going into rich vs poor, Chicago..one of the most gun controlled states..how is the deaths and crime working out there? If everyone had guns on them, wouldn't it make you think twice before robbing people or going on a killing spree? How did it work out for other countries like Venezuela? You can research history and see what happens to the people when they are not allowed to have weapons to defend themselves, never worked out good for the people.

    How about restrictions? Just a way to infringe on law abiding citizens, example.. 10 round gun mags (Do you know how quick and easy it is to switch a magazine? You can do your own research but even a novice can do that under 2 seconds) Do criminals care about any gun laws? No.. So why punish Law abiding citizens for what criminals do? Most of the shootings are done by people who are criminals or have mental disabilities. "Locks keep honest people honest and a thief a thief."

    All of this gun control is attacked by fearing the people, politically charged and conveniently happens around election times.

    You know in our history guns were used to protect and provide food. Family and community was much more connected. You taught your kids values. Guns were taught not to be toys but tools and to respect them, train and be proficient. Why did we not have problems with school shootings in the past, what changed? Most shootings take place where it is a gun free zone. Why can we send 40 Billion dollars to Ukraine and provide weapons yet we can't afford to have armed security at the schools? You could employ thousands of homeless veterans that fought for this country to keep us safe and free! You could offer programs to teachers that want to help, train them and give them extra money to protect the kid. I know I would feel much safer if teachers had guns to protect our children. How about metal detectors at schools? Do we even want to get into protocols for going in to stop a threat? The parents that were arrested for going inside to help? We have way more other serious issues than generalizing guns as if they are the real issue. If you are only following the mainstream media you have been conditioned and gaslight for so long you need to be red pilled. As always I encourage people do do their own research and never take anyone's word, think for yourself and stop letting others stop your mental growth.

    God Bless American! Home of the Brave, Land of the Free! :flag_United_States:

    It was great to see everyone again. Missed a lot of other faces unfortunately. I should have extended the time, I typically take 1.5 - 2 weeks work of vacation and this trip was too short. Hope the end of this year to the beginning of next year works out for me as I am expecting and I will have more time to enjoy things! Look forward to an even better year in Maggie next year! Hope everyone had a good time and drive safe!

  • Radio Install and waterproofing questions

    Quote from BKL

    As poster of the that thread, I recommend you try using the insulated foam board to hopefully provide more insulation. After making the aluminum panel I originally posted about and then adding the self-stick insulation to the panel, I've never really gotten used to the flexibility of the the combo. I'd assume a something like 1" foam insulation board would be less flexible.

    Are you going to be redoing your install?

  • Radio Install and waterproofing questions

    Quote from chavey2

    There are 3 areas to be concerned with:

    1. Face Area: Many people use the shower cap so whatever else you can come up with...
    2. Engine Area: There are templates on this (or the other) website that show how to cut a foam insulation panel to fit between the back of the stereo and the engine. This is probably more for heat than water. I used some 1" foam insulation board with exhaust heat tape to fill in that area.
    3. Above the stereo: Under the two triangle body panels are some slots. These let in a lot of water that people forget about. I used some plexiglass and duct tape to protect the top of the stereo body and it seems to be holding up well after 3 years.

    Thanks, I searched and finally found it. Here is the link to that post


    Insulating the Infotainment Cubby Area From Engine Compartment Heat

  • Radio Install and waterproofing questions

    I know there are a lot of different setups out there for Radio's. I am looking at going with Alpine ILX-F511 11" screen that tilts and takes up 1 Din slot mounting. I am not sure what brackets people used to mount. I also believe that you should have a shield that blocks the engine compartment / firewall behind the radio? So To waterproof these radios that stick out I have only seen people using shower caps that work but it would be nice to have some type of silicone boot or cover, a membrane that goes over it to still be able to touch the screen or use the buttons. Any feedback will be appreciated and if you have pictures please post so I can see what you did.


    Lastly there was a guy in Florida that is out of business that made custom fiberglass side pieces that went from the front kick area to past the seat to the rear his name was Hectir and I heard he is out of business. Not surprised really, seems like a management problem. Hope people didn't get screwed. He had some really good applications not sure if anyone else does that, Underground I would think would take over his design?


    Thanks in advance!
