Doing so for a small blog like this one is expensive. I want to give other bloggers the ability to move at a low cost. The server that I am using is in a foreign country, and they have assured me that they will not respond to outsiders shutting us down. </p><p>I am willing to help anyone who wants to sublet my unused server capacity to operate their own blog, free from worry about being silenced. In this way, we bloggers can share the costs of operating the server.</p><p><b>So what is the cost?</b></p><p>There is a one time fee to move your blog. Until Feb 10th, 2021 transfers from blogspot are $50. After Feb 10th transfers from blogspot will increase to $100.</p><p>Transfers from wordpress sites with complete exports, $50 until Feb 10th, 2021. $100 thereafter.</p><p>The cost for hosting is $25 per month, payable quarterly. </p><p>I can give you a domain that I already own at no additional cost(I have about a dozen of them) OR you can purchase one from me for an additional cost per year. The cost for that would be determined by the registrar. There is even a possibility that we can use a domain that you already own, but that depends. </p><p><b>The big rule:</b></p><p>The only rule that I have is: no porn sites. They use a disproportionate about of server space and capacity, and I have no intention of being a porn producer. Other than that, your blog is your blog. </p><p><b>How? </b></p><p>Simply email me at divemedic@sectorocho.com</p><p>Visit us over at the new place: areaocho.com</p><p><br /></p><div><br /></div>Divemedichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14583007051962299381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977100937974295832.post-4841666150812594422021-01-24T01:31:00.004-05:002021-01-24T01:31:38.621-05:00This blog has moved.<p> This blog has moved to <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://areaocho.com">areaocho.com</a></span>. </p><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">RSS feed address of the new home:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">https://areaocho.com/?feed=rss2</span></div>Divemedichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14583007051962299381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977100937974295832.post-21865861050630105142021-01-20T08:31:00.003-05:002021-01-20T21:35:31.646-05:00Sector 8 is now active<p>This is the last post here on Blogger.

To rise above what divides us. To always choose love over hatred, peace over violence, and others before yourself. Be passionate in everything you do, but always remember that violence is never the answer and will never be justified."</p><p></p></blockquote><p>I wholeheartedly disagree. I always will heap scorn on stupid ideas like "violence is never the answer." </p><p>Sometimes, violence is the only answer. </p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Would the Jews have been justified in using violence to prevent the Nazis from sending them to the camps?</li><li>Is a woman justified in using force to resist her rapist?</li><li>Were the founders justified in using force to resist the British?</li></ul><p></p><p>In a system where one side is the aggressor, the intended victim has only one choice: Violent resistance, or submission leading to slavery and death. </p><p>Ask Stalin's victims how that worked out for them. </p><p>What if one side were imposing their will on the other, eating their sustenance and stealing their wealth for their own benefit? </p><p>The victims of this tyranny try to voice their opinion and are told they are wrong, then told to sit down and shut up. The victims next try to use the legal system, but are denied. Then some of them attempt to protest, but are called terrorists. They are told that anyone who would protest or resist will be made destitute, or perhaps shipped off to camps to be 'reeducated.'</p><p>Would violence be the answer then? Or should they meekly accept their fate? Perhaps she should remember the Romanovs before she disavows all violence. </p><p><br /></p>Divemedichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14583007051962299381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977100937974295832.post-40440737803296572372021-01-18T22:42:00.001-05:002021-01-18T22:42:21.778-05:00High Powered Magazines<p> Reporters <a href="https://rssdailynews.com/2021/01/18/one-other-armed-man-was-arrested-at-a-dc-safety-checkpoint/" target="_blank">don't know a thing about guns</a>. </p><p></p><blockquote><p>A 22-year-old Virginia man, Guy Berry, was arrested while carrying a pistol, <b><span style="color: red;">three high-powered magazines</span></b>, and 37 rounds of ammunition near the U.S. Capitol on Sunday.

It is located in Sumterville, which is just south of Leesburg and the intersection of I-75 and the Florida Turnpike. That prison, as well as 120 other maximum security prisons nationwide, has been placed on a total security lockdown. <a href="https://www.bop.gov/locations/institutions/cop/" target="_blank">Click here to visit the prison's website and see for yourself. </a></p><p>What in the hell is going on? Here is <a href="https://www.bop.gov/resources/news/20210116_precaution.jsp" target="_blank">what the Bureau of Prisons has to say</a>:</p><p></p><blockquote><p>For the majority of the past twelve months, the BOP has been operating under a modified operational model to promote social distancing and mitigate the spread of COVID-19. We recognize that this pandemic has placed a heavy burden on inmates and their families in terms of limited movement and the public's restrictions in being able to freely visit with loved ones. However, in light of current events occurring around the country, and out of an abundance of caution, the decision has been made to secure all institutions. This measure is being taken to maintain the security and orderly running of our institutions, as well as to ensure the continued safety of staff, inmates, and the public.</p><p>In securing the facilities, the hope is that this prudent measure is for a short period and that operations will be restored to their prior status as soon as practical. We will continue to monitor events carefully and will adjust operations accordingly as the situation continues to evolve. Recognizing that communication with families is important, although it will be limited, inmates will be provided with access to telephones and email.</p><p>There is no specific information that triggered this decision. This action is precautionary, and is not in response to any significant events occurring inside our facilities. We appreciate everyone's cooperation and assistance during this period and encourage the public to monitor this website for updated information on visiting schedules and institution operations.</p></blockquote><p></p><p>What this has to do with the inauguration, I do not know.

It turns out that he didn't have "fake credentials" as originally reported. He had "unauthorized credentials."

He forgot the pistol was in his truck. </p><p>In other words, this was a big nothing burger. He made a mistake, and will likely have his life ruined over it. Not a terrorist- a man with a single Glock 17 is not "heavily armed." </p>Divemedichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14583007051962299381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977100937974295832.post-91260689325879058782021-01-16T22:15:00.005-05:002021-01-16T22:17:20.328-05:00National Guard Missing Armored Humvee<p>The FBI in California <a href="https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/FBI-searches-for-armored-military-vehicle-in-15877155.php" target="_blank">has announced that an armored humvee was stolen</a> from an NG armory in a suburb of Los Angeles, California on Friday morning.

That is, places were the carrying of weapons was discouraged. I got fairly good at it, because I got pretty good at figuring out when someone's security was shit. With that in mind, I want you to take a look at this checkpoint and their procedures. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dz_j_WfMLFmA3e1vFz0MX9Uy4aZWwM7CPnZ5EKqLAjHIBvsMCv_jBZ0WFHtk_vzB0oOS9GP23cSr7W6sGSXpw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><p>Note that the checkpoint is staffed by 3 NG troops from the PA NG. All three of them are armed with only an M4 each. and their weapons are all unloaded. </p><p>They ask the driver for his ID, and claim they are doing a 100% ID check. That is demonstrably false, as they don't ask to see the ID for either vehicle that preceeded the checked vehicle, nor did they check the ID of the operator of the camera. Then, once the driver produced his ID, the guy barely looked at it. </p><p>They aren't checking for shit. This security checkpoint is bullshit- it is there for show.

Instead of cataloging WHO was there, I should be trying to discern WHY they are there. I have come up with a couple of ideas. </p><p>We know that the election was stolen. We also know that the Capitol incursion was a false flag job. Since the attack was planned and put into motion DAYS before the President's speech, this was not impromptu. Since Pelosi, the Mayor of DC, the Director of the FBI, and others <a href="https://street-pharmacy.blogspot.com/2021/01/they-knew-before-it-happened.html" target="_blank">KNEW about it</a> and not only failed to act, but took positive steps to prevent others from acting, this was done under the direction of the Democrat party and its leaders. </p><p>It's obvious why the Capitol attack happened: It allowed both the assembly of the Army of the Potomac and the elimination of any opposing speech from the right. Ok, but WHY are they assembling this army? </p><p>There are three reasons that I can think of:</p><p><b>1 They needed a large, negative event to shock the nation into accepting Trump being impeached.</b> </p><p>I don't think that an event this large, along with the callup of two divisions of troops was needed to impeach Trump again. Also, why put all 50 states on alert? The powers doing this have a MUCH larger agenda in mind, or else they would not have pressed so hard. </p><p><b>2. They are trying to silence those who claim that the election was stolen, thus preventing the nation from focusing on his illegitimate presidency.</b> </p><p>For the same reasons as above, I just don't see this large of an event being needed to cover for a stolen election. I have seen the theory that this is being done to prevent actions being taken against the methods that were used to steal the election. This seems rather extreme. </p><p><b>3. There is something MUCH larger coming.</b> </p><p>The election was stolen. Not in a subtle manner. It was done in such a way as to be obvious, in such a way that they KNEW it would be caught. So they either don't care that they will be caught, or they WANTED to be caught. </p><p>Then they fired up their base. Even the troops on TV are saying that they are proud to be defending against a "white supremacist revolution." For years, we have heard those on the right say that the Army and our police would never fire on fellow Americans because they are our neighbors. Now they are saying <a href="https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/d-c-cop-on-capitol-attack-my-privilege-to-stop-a-white-nationalist-insurrection-1.9455287" target="_blank">"If it wasn't my job, I would have done it for free. It was my privilege to help stop a white nationalist insurrection."</a> </p><p>This worries me. My wife keeps telling me that all of this is just talk. She says to stop worrying because all of the talk of enemies lists, reeducation <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/01/15/aoc-proposes-funding-to-deprogram-white-supremacists/" target="_blank">camps</a>, and <a href="https://nationalfile.com/video-pennsylvania-lt-gov-denies-free-speech-says-you-do-not-have-the-right-to-question-election-integrity/" target="_blank">making it illegal to protest a stolen election</a> are just that- talk. My wife has told me that, "They will never be able to pass any of that." Sometimes I wonder if I am letting all of this get to me, but I see what I see. </p><p>Why would anyone go to so much trouble? Or am I just seeing a conspiracy where there isn't one?</p><p><br /></p><p>EDITED TO ADD: I honestly don't think that #1 or #2 are it, but I have to concede the possibility. After all, I have been wrong about things before. - Thanks to Big Country for pointing out that my ideas may be off base...</p><p><br /></p>Divemedichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14583007051962299381noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977100937974295832.post-53752875962769193982021-01-15T20:46:00.004-05:002021-01-15T22:38:05.847-05:00More units being called up<p> Now it appears that the Governor of North Carolina <a href="https://www.yourdailyjournal.com/news/98554/gov-cooper-sending-100-more-guard-members-to-d-c" target="_blank">has announced</a> 100 more NG troops will be sent to Washington, DC:</p><p></p><blockquote>All 300 guard members — serving in military police, engineering and armored brigade units based in Asheville, Clinton and Raeford — should be in place by Monday,</blockquote><p></p><p>Now the Armored Brigade in Clinton, NC is the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30th_Armored_Brigade_Combat_Team" target="_blank">30th Armored Brigade Combat Team</a>. This is a heavy brigade with recent combat experience. So does this mean that they are bringing ARMOR? Or are they simply looking for warm bodies? The Clinton unit is the HHC, so I am not sure. </p><p>The unit from Asheville is the 105th Military Police Battalion and the one from Raeford is the 105th Engineer Battalion.</p><p>Connecticut <a href="https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Lamont-200-more-National-Guard-headed-to-DC-15875329.php" target="_blank">is sending 200 more</a>. It looks to be a medical unit.</p><p></p><blockquote>The deployments include “equipment and supplies” as well as personnel, including ambulances, the governor’s office said.</blockquote><p></p><p>Pennsylvania is <a href="https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/politics/additional-1000-pa-national-guard-members-activated-to-support-d-c/" target="_blank">sending another 1,000 to join the 1,000 members</a> of the 56th Stryker Brigade Combat Team already there. No word on which unit this addition is from. </p><p>As of 21:50, New York <a href="https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2021/01/15/new-york-connecticut-national-guard-inauguration/" target="_blank">is adding another 250</a>. I don't even know how many there are any more. </p><p>Closer to (my) home, Governor Desantis activated an <a href="https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/2021/01/15/tallahassee-mayor-asks-gov-ron-desantis-activate-national-guard-protests-florida-capitol/4178170001/" target="_blank">unspecified number of National Guard troops</a> for duty inside of the State of Florida. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another interesting thing was <a href="https://www.stripes.com/news/us/pentagon-authorizes-up-to-25-000-troops-to-protect-nation-s-capital-1.658682" target="_blank">this bit on rules of engagement</a> for those units deployed in Washington, DC:</p><p></p><blockquote>I know for instance that there is a detail of National Guard Bureau personnel up at the United States Capitol. They are complying with, and will comport with, the United States Capitol police’s use of force model. </blockquote><p>I wouldn't bet on that. Remember that almost none of these troops have ever deployed or seen combat. What do panicked, inexperienced people armed with automatic weapons do when they are scared and getting overrun?</p><p></p>Divemedichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14583007051962299381noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977100937974295832.post-61727366563475214602021-01-15T17:54:00.003-05:002021-01-15T18:01:53.247-05:00They should be glad this isn't an insurrection<p> Seriously, the Left thinks the Trump supporters want to overthrow the government?

All the Trumpers would have to do is have one operative who works there send them 300 or 400 cyanide flavored pizzas, and this clusterfuck would have about a battalion's worth of casualties. Imagine the two Congresscritters handing out pizza, then an hour later there are 250 dead and 500 or so seriously ill guardsmen.</p><p>That this hasn't happened is what tells me more than anything that there is no insurrection. If there were, it would be MUCH uglier. I am sure some SPECOPS veterans in the Trump camp have thought of all kinds of similar mayhem, none of which has happened because THERE IS NO INSURRECTION.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Divemedichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14583007051962299381noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977100937974295832.post-89835499659995789492021-01-15T15:30:00.001-05:002021-01-15T15:30:47.996-05:00Impeachment<p> Can the Senate bar Donald J Trump from again holding the office of President?</p><p></p><p>An interesting question, and one that I think has been answered before. In July of 1797, Senator William Blount was impeached by the House. Before his trial in the Senate could begin, the Senate expelled him and he left the Capitol to return to his home state of Tennessee. </p><p>In January of 1799, the Senate finally began Blount's impeachment trial, but Blount did not appear (he was already serving as the Speaker of the Tennessee Legislature). The trial commenced any way, and Blount's attorneys argued that since Blount had been expelled from the senate in July 1797, he was no longer an officer of the government and thus no longer subject to Senate jurisdiction.</p><p>In January of 1799, after three days of exhaustive arguments, the Senate deliberated behind closed doors, then voted on two resolutions. The first one failed to pass:</p><p></p><blockquote>That William Blount was a civil officer of the United States within the meaning of the Constitution of the United States, and therefore liable to be impeached by the House of Representatives; That as the articles of impeachment charge him with high crimes and misdemeanors, supposed to have been committed while he was a Senator of the United States, his plea [to dismiss the charges] ought to be overruled.</blockquote><p></p><p>The second one passed on January 11, 1799, by a vote of 14–11:</p><p></p><blockquote><p>The court is of opinion that the matter alleged in the plea of the defendant is sufficient in law to show that this court ought not to hold jurisdiction of the said impeachment, and that the said impeachment is dismissed.</p><p></p></blockquote><p>So you can see that the Senate of the United States in 1799 already answered that question. Now, you could argue that one Congress cannot pass a resolution that is binding on a following Congress, and I would agree with you. However, we are talking about the plain meaning of the Constitution here. </p><p>The question that the Senate was trying to answer was whether or not they had the power of impeachment. Impeachment was a term from British common law which was the removal of an officer of the government from that office. If we were to decide that any citizen is impeachable, then this would turn the entire system of jury trials on its head by permitting the Congress to hold trials and punish them without the judicial branch. This would be a violation of the separation of powers. </p><p><br /></p>Divemedichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14583007051962299381noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977100937974295832.post-15223754199764610182021-01-15T11:28:00.002-05:002021-01-15T11:28:30.980-05:00Running out of troops- 26,000 may be the limit<p> Now word is <a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2021-01-15/the-latest-calls-to-governors-for-more-guard-troops-for-dc" target="_blank">coming out that the Army is having trouble</a> getting state Governors to commit to sending any more troops than they have already.
