Well for once, the weathermen were right. Between late yesterday afternoon and this morning we received probably 5 or 6 inches of snow. We’re supposed to get some more later in the week and then also again the middle of next week. While we welcome this for the water, I do have to box and ship 50 cases of wine or so probably beginning Monday which isn’t the \u00c2\u00a0easiest to do in the snow and cold weather. I should have cleaned out the garage yesterday. Oh well, lucky I have warm coats!<\/p>\n

It’s 4:45 and I just vacuumed up the kitchen as the damn dog (Lacey) pulled out all the trash under the sink and had it strewn all over the kitchen. No wonder she wasn’t barking for food! I wonder what Mojo thinks as he sits there in his crate (where he sleeps) watching her. He must be thinking, “boy are you going to get in trouble”.<\/p>\n

The misses was gone most of the day working while I was in and out. The youngest did well on his tests, according to him, which go on for the next 2 weeks. His basketball game was fun for him and we all made it home around 8pm and then headed straight to bed.<\/p>\n

The oldest is down here on the couch with me right now as he woke up early. After we (I) take them to school, we have a conference call with Switzerland where Laura lives so we can all work on repackaging the skin care line that the misses is now managing. I then need to run downtown for a meeting or two. The oldest is hoping that they cancel school today and while in many states they would, I don’t think it’ll happen here in Colorado.<\/p>\n

Time for coffee and shoveling the walk as it’s 5am. Take care and hope all’s well. Here’s your quote for the day, there are so many warnings from history yet we ignore them time after time, God help us and our children.<\/p>\n

“Do not suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberty by any pretences of politeness, delicacy or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three names for hypocrisy, chicanery, and cowardice.” – John Adams, 1789<\/p>\n

One last thing, here’s something real disturbing no one in their right mind can ignore. It seems the Dept. of H o m e l a n d \u00c2\u00a0S e c u r i t y \u00c2\u00a0has ordered up practice targets of American citizens for them to practice shooting at. They include pregnant women, old people and little kids. They say it is to desensitize their agents so if they have to shoot at Americans like this, they can, see below,<\/p>\n

DHS Supplier Provides Shooting Targets of American Gun Owners<\/h1>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

A provider of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153realistic\u00e2\u20ac\u009d shooting targets to the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies has created a line of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153non-traditional threat\u00e2\u20ac\u009d targets that include pregnant women, mothers in playgrounds and elderly American gun owners.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Law Enforcement Targets, Inc.<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0is a 21-year designer and full service provider of training targets for the DHS, the Justice Department and thousands of law enforcement agencies throughout the country.<\/p>\n

The company\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s website\u00c2\u00a0offers a line of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153No More Hesitation\u00e2\u20ac\u009d targets<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u009ddesigned to give officers the experience of dealing with deadly force shooting scenarios with subjects that are not the norm during training.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The targets are, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153meant to help the transition for officers who are faced with these highly unusual targets\u00c2\u00a0for the first time<\/strong>.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

The targets include \u00e2\u20ac\u0153pregnant woman threat,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153older man with shotgun,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153older man in home with shotgun,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153older woman with gun,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153young school aged girl,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153young mother on playground,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153little boy with real gun.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Why are top training target suppliers for the government supplying the likes of the DHS with \u00e2\u20ac\u0153non-traditional threat\u00e2\u20ac\u009d targets of children, pregnant women, mothers in playgrounds, and elderly American gun owners\u00c2\u00a0unless there is a demand for such items<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

This is particularly alarming given the fact that the\u00c2\u00a0Department of Homeland Security has purchased roughly\u00c2\u00a02 billion rounds of ammunition<\/strong><\/a>\u00c2\u00a0over the course of the last year, enough to wage a near 30 year war.<\/p>\n

In comparison, during the height of active battle operations in Iraq,\u00c2\u00a0US soldiers used 5.5 million rounds<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0of ammunition a month.<\/p>\n

The DHS also\u00c2\u00a0purchased no less than 7,000 fully automatic assault rifles<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0last September, labeling them \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Personal Defense Weapons.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

The fact that targets of armed pregnant women, children, mothers in playgrounds, and American gun owners in general are being represented as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153non traditional threats\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153for the first time\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is deeply concerning given the admitted\u00c2\u00a0preparations for civil unrest undertaken by Homeland Security<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0as well as other federal agencies.<\/p>\n

A leaked US Army Military Police training manual<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0for \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Civil Disturbance Operations\u00e2\u20ac\u009d also outlines how military assets are to be used domestically to quell riots, confiscate firearms and even kill Americans on U.S. soil during mass civil unrest.<\/p>\n

This also dovetails with the\u00c2\u00a0continuing characterization of Americans<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0who are \u00e2\u20ac\u0153suspicious of centralized federal authority,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153reverent of individual liberty\u00e2\u20ac\u009d as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153extreme right-wing\u00e2\u20ac\u009d terrorists by DHS-funded studies.<\/p>\n

The\u00c2\u00a0US military trained last year<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0to take on another \u00e2\u20ac\u0153unusual target\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201c zombies \u00e2\u20ac\u201c which some fear is just a ruse to get troops used to engaging crowds of people with deadly force. As Alex Jones documented in his film\u00c2\u00a0Police State 2000<\/a><\/em>, numerous \u00e2\u20ac\u0153urban warfare\u00e2\u20ac\u009d training drills stretching back well over a decade have revolved around incarcerating and battling the American people on domestic soil.<\/p>\n

See the other \u00e2\u20ac\u0153non-traditional threats\u00e2\u20ac\u009d that are being provided in the form of shooting targets to the DHS and thousands of law enforcement agencies below.<\/p>\n

Note: The website containing these targets has crashed since this article was published, but\u00c2\u00a0this graphic<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0shows a screenshot of the page with the URL visible.<\/em><\/p>\n

So how do you like your gov training to shoot these kind of people? Can you ever imagine a scenario where old people, little kids and pregnant women, young girls, would be aiming guns at the gov? The only way this could happen is if our rights were so violated that even the elderly, moms to be and children were to rise up. Unbelievable and very very disturbing.<\/p>\n
