Mindset revisited


   Whilst surfing the web yesterday I came across a couple videos of some guys showing off a few Krav Maga weapon "disarm" moves....all well and good....except, the "instructor" in each segment would go to great lengths to teach a faulty, and completely backwards mindset.
   In one video, which dealt with the ubiquitous "guy sticks a gun in your face" scenario, he instructs you to first and foremost comply with the attackers demands....go ahead and give him your wallet, watch, jewelry, car, etc....."because once he has what he wants he will probably leave you alone (followed by the obligatory) and none of that stuff is worth your life." After screaming vulgarities at my unresponsive computer screen, I decided to address this in a more useful manner. To wit:

1) Giving an attacker what he wants only empowers him further....it's the way a criminal mind works, read up on the FBI's own crime data reports.

2) You have taken the position of giving the attacker an assumed moral code. This guy just stuck a gun in your face....you want to let him have the final say whether you live or die?

3) What if what he wants is not a watch or wallet? What if his proclivity tends toward the carnal? Going back to actual crime statistics...violent rape victims are commonly found deceased.

4) You are faced with a lethal threat....act accordingly. Sorry, but the guy crossed the line in the sand when he acted on his nefarious impulses and pointed a weapon at you. You should move to seize any tactical advantage over him at that point........and it starts with the proper mindset.

  I know there are those out there that will disagree with me; civil society and all.........hogwash. There is little that is truly "civil" in our current society. Civility is a rather thin veneer that is stretched over the true nature of a society. I would argue that as our nation continues it's rather steep decline, that thin veneer will stretch to it's eventual breaking point, and those with dark hearts and ill intentions will have little cause to hold back.

   I would point out that I had no issues with the particular techniques they were demonstrating. It just pains me to see them destroy someone's ability to execute said task by giving them a distorted or at best, ambiguous mindset to go with it.


 "....sure you can have my wallet...let me just get it...."

Become More Dangerous...

Image
  New Years resolutions....I’ll be honest, I have never been a big proponent of them. I mean we have all seen the people around us make the same resolutions every year...with the same result...being that they fizzle out within a few weeks. But, if we are going to talk resolutions, might I offer this:   In 2023, become dangerous .   What do I mean by that? It should be abundantly clear to anyone paying attention at this point that our way of life in the West and in America in particular, is being deliberately and systematically destroyed. From “in your face” voting fraud to bio-engineered viruses to genocidal gene therapy shots to wide open borders to the fleecing of the public to fund engineered foreign conflicts to the governmental targeting of “traditional Americans” as “domestic terrorists” and I could go on and on. As the saying goes - The threat is real....and we are in danger.   For the sake of yourself, your family and your way of life - become more dangerous!   - Get into fight

The Insecurity of "Push Notifications" and What to Do About It

Image
 By now it has been widely circulated that the US government (and their 5 Eyes friends) has been secretly snooping on phone user's messaging in the form of Push Notifications. Not only are they snooping, but they applied a legal gag order to Apple and Google to prevent them from alerting you the customer of this fact. What's that you say? You are using an end-to-end encrypted messenger such as Signal and therefore are safe from said intrusion? Not so fast... While there are indeed some well designed and audited secure chat apps out there, that is only part of the story. Most, if not all, messaging applications employ Push notifications as a way to let you know that someone just reached out to you, even if you didn't happen to have the corresponding application open at the moment. This is, of course, very convenient for the end user, but the problem lies in how this is facilitated on the back end. Apple and Google both employ proprietary servers that intercept a message head
