An interesting video about the last item that the US military fielded that could be called a “flamethrower,” the M202 “Flash:”
Now, it would probably be inappropriate to suggest that weapons such as this, or perhaps “Dragons Breath” cartridges for tear gas launches, would be an appropriate response to communists in the streets throwing Molotov cocktails. So don’t even think about it.
Can anybody with experience firing shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles confirm that when you pull the trigger, the missile is suppose to leave the tube… not drag the launcher along with it? Cuz goll-lee, this sure don’t seem right:

A while back I found two 8X10 glossies in an antique store. The owners had no information on the photos; they had come in a box of photos from an estate sale, the rest of the photos being completely unrelated. The store owners thought that the photos showed a test of a beam weapon of some kind. Not unreasonable for people not familiar with actual beam weapons or ballistic missiles. The photos are certainly evocative of death beams zapping targets in the sky. But what they actually show are missile warheads coming *down,* screaming towards the ground at incredible speed. When the photos were taken, I’ve no idea. *Where,* almost certainly somewhere in the South Pacific… most likely Kwajalein Atoll, a common target for ICBMs and SLBMs. *What* missile was tested, I’m also uncertain. One photo shows a single re-entry vehicle; the other shows three. The Minuteman III lobbed three warheads; the Peacekeeper, up to ten; the Trident, up to 14. This *probably* shows a Minuteman III… assuming that is actually a single test.
I’ve uploaded the full resolution scans of these photos to the 2020-09 APR Extras Dropbox folder for Patrons and Subscribers at the $4 level and above.
I’d pay good money to see this. Maybe not in a theater right now, but, you know, Blu Ray or Netflix or something.
Enshortened version:
A video worth watching:
The narrative that he’s a murderer sure seems ill-supported by the facts.
Bonus round:
This is the lawyer who sued (so far, successfully) the bejeebers out of a number of media outlets for libel and slander for claiming that Nick Sandmann was a smug racist when he was in fact the victim. And on *that* note…
For example:
A 17 year old white supremacist domestic terrorist drove across state lines, armed with an AR 15.
He shot and killed 2 people who had assembled to affirm the value, dignity, and worth of Black lives.
Fix your damn headlines.

Assuming that the video evidence and testimonies so far given continue to be unrefuted *and* Rittenhouse doesn’t get railroaded… Representative Pressley could wind up paying for Rittenhouse’s *everything* from here on out.
Graphic videos and photos to follow. Click are yer own peril:
We’ve recently seen the insurrectionists using electronic devices from lasers to bullhorns as weapons against the police and the citizenry. It occurs to me that a discussion may be had about countermeasures: what portable device can a person have on their person that could be used to disable electronic weapons? If, say, someone were to don the Antifa uniform – black clothes, face mask, dark glasses, hoodie and/or helmet – they could wander more or less freely through the crowd of commies. If they had a bullhorn neutralizer in their backpack, it might not need to be obvious that it was in operation. What the range and true capability of such a mechanism could be, I don’t know, but it seems like it would be interesting to speculate about. Any device strong enough to shut down something as straightforward as a bullhorn would seem likely to do untold damage to GoPros and cell phones as well. The following vids show home made devices that generate EMPs that work at *very* close range to shut down electronics, but I would expect that professional devices could have longer range and directionality.
These things are also LOUD, which could be an issue.
For anti-bullhorn use, melting down the electronics might not be the only approach. Somehow over-riding it, so that it sends out nothing but static, or *your* *own* *messages* could be useful as well. This might be a case of powerful radio transmissions rather than EMP. Dunno. Thoughts? Ideas?
Most people would think “yes I am.” If you are the leader of a black supremacist militia, the real answer may surprise you.
If anybody has a rational explanation of what these people think they’ll accomplish, I’d love to hear it.
What we have here are two – at least two – “people” willing to commit murder in order to control who gets to drive down a public street. If this was the fascist state these lying scumbags claim it is, they’d have had their brains beaten out by the local constabulary. Instead, they’re allowed to do this at will. This sort of thing metastasizes, and will lead to nationwide disaster.
Once again, imagine instead of a left wing crazy doing this, we had us a MAGA-hat wearing Trump supporter using firearms to terrorize the public. Hell, we don’t really have to image. The McCloskeys in St. Louis wielded inoperable firearms to shoo off thugs from their own private property, and the local prosecutor has gone after *them* rather than the trespassers, going so far as to commit what sure looks like prosecutable fraud in order to do so.
As we’ve recently seen, leftist “peaceful protestors” have decided that it is a good idea to use bright green lasers to attempt to permanently blind cops and federal agents. Once you open a particular can of worms, though, you open the way for those worms to be dumped on *you.* Don’t be surprised if the feds show up with something like this, a 200 watt ultraviolet “melt your retinas in milliseconds” laser.
This was made by one YouTuber with a crappy $1500 Chinese laser. *Imagine* what the FBI could field, especially if they were as fascistic as the fascist LARPers in Antifa claim they are.
