Bigfoot Hunter #2

     Gloria hasn't called back about the Hinton, NH, sighting so that trail petered out fast.
     This weekend I was in Hannaford Groceries when a man walked up and said, "I saw the sign on your truck so I had to show you this picture. I took it on a mountain bike trail in Maine. It was eight feet up in the air."
     He then showed me a clump of reddish hair about six inches by two inches, caught on the end of a twig.
     Have you seen where the Dark Beast is putting its big foot on the throat of the maple producers in Vermont and all other places? The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in their well-paid narcissism has decided that since maple syrup adds sugar to your diet, they are making an edict from on high that all maple syrup containers have another label, warning "Sugar Added." You see how addictive having force over people is? They just have to use it! There is no sugar being added to the maple syrup, but sugar being added to your diet through the maple syrup.
     I find it ironic that Vermonters are up in arms - as they should be- about this because they have the Puritan heritage that civil authority is from God -not from men as Roger Williams dared to say and then got booted out of the Salem Colony to wandered about New England until he founded Rhode Island. Now Vermonters are finding out that the FDA is not God but the Dictator, the ultimate objective of the Democrats and other collectivists.
     Please call me about your Bigfoot sightings. Nick  352-359-0850  peternickerson12@yahoo.com

School Shootings #23

     I saw a "March For Our Lives" sign in the back-side window of a SUV yesterday next to me in a parking lot. I found out later by Google, that the driver's name was probably Alicia Dana, the fastest woman in the world in H3 Para-Cyclist races. She propels the bike with her hands. I heard that she fell out of a tree while picking apples as a child and lost the use of her legs, but has married and has children. Nothing ventured, nothing gained so I went over to her side of the vehicle. To paraphrase, this is our conversation: "I see your sign.
What is their position on metal detectors and gunpowder-sniffing dogs at school entrances?"
     She considered a reply as she reached down from the driver's seat and pulled a wheel off her wheelchair and lifted it into the SUV. She led a hard life, I could see that. Then she replied," In an ideal world, they wouldn't be necessary."
     "But this isn't an ideal world," I quickly countere
     "I know."
     "Look, detectors have been used in big city schools for a long time. They are an immediate, direct thing that can keep guns and knives out of schools."
     "I don't like firearms. I know there's the Second Amendment, but I'm hoping the Supreme Court will find a way."
     "They're a bunch of jerks! They'll do whatever they want!"
     "You're entitled to your opinion, but I think they are decent, honorable people."
     "Well, I will think about what you have said, and I hope you will do the same for me," I said. 'Thanks for talking to me."
     "Thank you."
     Next time, I will give her my card and invite her to read my blog and see if I represented her accurately. It was obvious to me that neither Alicia nor anyone around her was for detectors and dogs, but were all in for the supposed utopia of banning the ownership of guns by the individuals, except for the elite individuals who deserved protection unlike you and me.

Bigfoot Hunter #1

     I got a call from "Gloria" in Hinton, New Hampshire, saying in her message that she has woods behind her house and believes a sighting was made there. I called her back today, she was in the middle of things, and said she'd call back.
Anyone want to back her up? I especially want to find private land where I can hang a can or two up for Bigfoot.
     I've put my phone number on top of my Bigfoot sign on the back of my truck's cap. It's an '04 burnt orange Chevy Colorado. Hoping this will increase the calls, and I can report more here.
     By the way, a friend of mine did not fish for rainbow trout this year because he saw humans putting their retrievers onto ducks, including babies, and allowing their children to pick up sticks and chase the ducks. Remember, the measure of a man is not what he says, but what he does and what he allows others to do in his presence. Stand up, Americans, and speak out. Politely, but firmly. We're going to lose America if we don't. Especially us old folks. The only thing we're risking is an honorable, legendary death. What's not to love? Nick

School Shootings #22

     I have emailed the NRA about having metal detectors and gunpowder-sniffing dogs at school entrances to stop the passage of both metallic and composite guns and knives, pointing out the detectors have been used successfully in many big city schools for years due to violent gangs. I stated I felt the political elites were ignoring detectors and guns either because they wanted to keep the school
killings going to ride the anti-gun hysteria all the way to eventual banning the ownership of firearms to the individual or they were not getting in the way of those who do. I observed that I saw NRA commercials on Fox, but they did not
address these solutions and asked why. Let's see if the NRA is really interested in the Second Amendment continuing. Nick  352-259-0850  peternickerson12@yahoo.com.
PS I don't like what I'm finding,but who said the truth is comforting? Almost always, it's not. That's why the weak avoid it. I've done my share too.

Separating Families

     Let's not forget that Americans by the millions each year get separated from their families when they go to jail due to the inhumane, immoral drug laws. Their kids, as far as I know, don't get put into what looks like the dog kennels my father had for our pack of beagles, but they do go into foster care and orphanages where too many suffer from brutality including being kept in closets, pits, and in chains.
     In addition, let's not forget the agency of the illegal immigrants. They know they're breaking the law by slipping into America. Can I blame them? Of course, not. But I don't want America becoming African, Mexican, or Honduran. I don't want America becoming those hell holes, and those people will bring that culture and lack of good values to America. Not all, of course. But how could they not unless they grew up reading books about Western culture and values? Think that happened with very many?
     Illegal immigration has shut down many hospitals and even more Emergency Rooms. We simply don't have the money to save the world. Also poor Americans are having their welfare programs stripped of funds by the illegals. The programs are not even keeping up with the cost of living. The misery-inducing Democrats and other collectivists want you paying more taxes! Have you noticed that all the political elites calling for more taxes are millionaires except for Bernie who is peaking now at $750,000.
     What we should be doing, instead of importing the world's oppressed populations, is exporting the values and institutions that have made America so free and prosperous that everyone wants to come here - even the rich. We need to export the ideas around freedom, capitalism. rule by law not men (or women), private property, tolerance, and a written constitution that guarantees rights to minorities.
     These are the ideas, the practices, and the institutions that will allow a country to be free and prosperous. But there is also another problem that is about to take over Central America and then the United States. That is the power of the drug cartels. They have trillions of dollars to spend on terrorism and no conscience to stop them. Except for the navy in Mexico, the drug cartels run the country. They have killed 120 political candidates in Mexico this year alone? People are fleeing Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador because of the drug cartels.
     A journalist has written in The Week that the drug cartels have become so strong they can kill anyone they want in Mexico. It doesn't matter how many bodyguards you have. You live only if you cooperate with the drug cartels. The drug cartels are already in America. Who can stand up to them? You can't. If you were a police chief, and a drug cartel wanted safe passage through the interstate in your town for a caravan of trucks loaded with drugs, are you going to say no? Really? Not when they tell you they will give you a hundred thousand dollars in cash or the heads of your wife, daughters and sons, and your parents.
     The only way to stop the cartels from taking over and making you a slave to anything they dictate is to allow drug use to be legal again and have the government provide free, safe drugs and drug rehabilitation for those who want it. This is going to be resisted by the drug cartel, of course, and the police associations, and the private prisons. All benefit from the drug trade. You've got to stand up, Americans, and demand ending the prohibition on drugs and getting back our freedom of choice regarding drug use before it's too late. Stand up, Americans, while there's still time! Nick

School Shootings #21

     I email Arizona US Senator Jeff Flakes from his message board at his site. I added that I'd like his opinion on why no one is emailing me back - was it because they weren't interested in saving children's  lives but in advancing gun control along to the eventual banning of the individual's right to own guns? Were they not emailing me their positions on detectors and dogs, because that would give away their treachery. Finally, I asked if any politician or his staff had a conscience. Hasn't Senator Flake been talking about his conscience lately? Will my questions strike a responsive chord?
     You can email him too and ask him to answer Pete Nickerson's email or call his office in the Swamp at 202-224-3121 and tell his receptionist. Have a good weekend. Nick
PS The swamp really needs draining, folks!

School Shootings #20

     I email US Senator John McCain of Arizona today. Could you email him or call his office in D.C, 202-224-3121, and ask that he respond to my - Nick Nickerson's- email. Along with my name at the bottom of the email, I added, "Former Child Protectives Services worker and Social Services Directors, and grandfather of two school-age children." Nick

School Shootings #19

     My sister had taken over my bedroom so I went to a vacant one and plugged in my boom-box. My mother came in and said I couldn't use the outlets. I protested the seeming craziness of that order by pointing out that outlets were in use all around the house. She simply ordered me not to use it. Then Dad who was not my dad, but a small, evil man from my past came in. Contemptuous of him, he soon left, but then I picked up a land-line phone in the vacant bedroom and heard him talking to a politician who was assuring him that he would get me put into a secure institution for the mentally retarded. Then I woke up.
     It was nightmare reflecting the craziness of the people marching to the tune of "Gun Control" when they don't have the maturity or honesty to acknowledge they could stop shooters from entering schools by having metal detectors and gunpowder-sniffing dogs at the entrances. That's the immediate and doable gun control needed for school shootings. The nightmare also reflected the question "If people really are that evil, what are they going to try to do to you for blowing the whistle?" Living in an institution for the mentally-retarded? Why, it feels like I'm in one already since no one else seems to be exposing the elites ignoring metal detectors and dogs at school entrances. Is anyone else blowing the whistle? Are thousands of students so utterly lacking in critical thinking that they are going to march in Washington, D.C. while leaving their school entrances undefended? Think they'll run into any Salem witches or Florida/California child abusing day care providers with their underground sexual- torture chambers? Believe the children now and follow the rest of the lemmings to self-destruction!
     The arrogant, self-serving political and media elites think Donald Trump is bad? They keep their arrogance and self-serving going, and they are eventually are going to get Madam Defarge, and the elites will be Charles Evremondes family because they allowed innocent children to be maimed or killed at schools. If this ignoring metal detectors and dogs at school entrances is being done so schoolchildren will continue to be killed and that will be used to ban the ownership of guns, and the people gradually realize this, the people are going to demand heads on the ground. It can't come too soon. Peter "Nick" Nickerson, MS. MSW. Former Child Protective Services Worker, and grandfather of two school-age kids. I'm trying to do a better job of protecting them than I did of my two children! Live and learn!

School Shootings #18

     I have tried to email "March for our Lives" and " Everytown for Gun Safety Fund" and have been unable to. Are these people really organizing hundreds of people to march against school shootings and they aren't even interested in blocking their school entrances to killers with guns and knives by the use of metal detectors and gunpowder-sniffing dogs? Do they want consciously or unconsciously want more children killed so they can continue their mindless drama and have their little march? It's happened before. Once with young women seeing witches in the Massachusetts Bay Colony and the weak-minded adults going along with the craziness which resulted in forty-two people, one four years old, convicted and killed for being witches. Also two dogs, witches, too, you know, were killed.
     It happened again in Florida and California where malevolent police detectives and social workers got children in day care to say that their providers were sexually abusing them in underground torture chambers. Day-care providers were charged and convicted without a speck of evidence ( Believe the Children!). Some served as long as sixteen years. How could those cops and social workers live with themselves? They must have no conscience. Where were the few good men in those two states necessary to stop the evil?

School Shootings #17

     Today I wrote to Arizona Governor Ducey and told him that because I was unaware of any replies that even mentioned metal detectors and gunpowder-sniffing dogs, or anything else that addressed young men with guns getting into schools except for the fatuous solution of "gun control," I was getting the horrible feeling that our US governors, senators, and state school board members were psychopaths- people with no conscience. I asked that he disabuse me of that feeling by addressing men with guns (sometimes knives) entering schools and not the red herring of gun control.
     I also gave the metaphor of a general told by his scouts that Indians with repeating rifles were approaching the fort. I said the general would order the fort gate- the entrance- closed and barricaded with wagons. He would order his best marksmen into the shooting holes in the gate. Of course, the rest of the soldiers would go to their battle stations about the fort. I then noted that if the general responded to approaching hostiles by keeping the fort gate open and penning a letter to the president asking for more gun control placed on the Indians, his officers would think he had gone mad and would restrain and replace him. I feel the latter scenario - our political elites gone mad- describes the school shooting situation.
     Again, if I am not thinking and feeling rationally about this situation, please let me know. I keep thinking that I must be missing something, that the political elites can't all be psychopaths. I mean my sample is small but it includes the governor of the loving, gentle state of Vermont. Plus Bernie Sanders, whom the Millenials love so much. But then look at McCabe with his $70,000 FBI conference table. Look at FBI agent Lisa Page having a meltdown over the possibility of Trump becoming president, and her FBI agent-boyfriend texting back that it never would be allowed to happen. What did that mean? Look at the forty-some children killed at Waco because the FBI was worried about their safety. I guess the FBI decided the children were safe after it killed them!
 Look at the day care providers arrested, tried, convicted, and imprisoned in the 1990s because children - Believe the children!- said they were raped and tortured in underground rooms without a speck of evidence. Thank you, Janet Reno, in nutty Florida and the other loose screws in California.
     My fear is that the psychopaths are quite willing to allow school entrances to be undefended against boys walking in with guns so schoolchildren will continue
to be killed. Their continued killings will be the vehicle by which the psychopaths will get shallow, both full-throated hysteria from the shallow, timid Americans, who are now proud of being weak-minded, and ride that hysteria to get legislation banning guns. With more time, I would be searching the internet to see if I have any like-minded allies. Next week, I will look around for feedback, but I don't expect the psychopaths to admit they're psychopaths. They are on top of the world, playing us, and leaving large and loose with our money. They ain't giving that up. But they better reform themselves while they can. The people gave them Trump in 2016. If they don't clean up their arrogance, the people will give them something worse than Trump next! That's how I see it, and I saw Trump winning a long ways off for the same reasons Mohammed won ascendancy. Both of them resonated with the people, not the elites. Of course, radical Islam has degenerated into an enslaving, elitist racket. Check my old blogs. Peter "Nick" Nickerson, peternickerson12@yahoo.com  352-359-0850

School Shootings #16

     I finished the first state, Alabama, by sending a member of the state school board, J.Zeigler, an email asking what her response has been to the young men with guns who are entering schools and killing and maiming children. The chair of the state board didn't have a email address. I also acted as a direct advocate of detectors and dogs at school entrances and said that supporting gun control was no immediate, direct solution that would stop gunners from entering schools. Let's see what happens. I realize that I may be rocking the boat and also realize my past behavior of cowardly bailing out when my boat gets rocked back by my opponents. So here's a chance to redeem myself if the rocking starts. In the meantime, the Furies of Remorse are keeping their distance from me as I'm doing something that is strong, brave, and vitally helpful to others.

School Shootings #15

     I emailed Alabama's US Senator Doug Jones today. I am now using the metaphor of an Army fort about to be attacked by Indians and pointing out that the commander of the fort would first try to strengthen the defenses of the fort as much as possible. Then might he ride out to the approaching Indians in a quixotic effort to get them to shorten their arrows (bow control). Only a severely
intellectually-challenged or psychotic or perverted commander would ignore his fort defenses but ride out to see if the Indians were interested in bow control.
     Unfortunately, the latter is what I am finding in my responses from US senators, governors and local schools. Not one has mentioned defending schools from the direct threat of a shooter but only mention gun control. This is a perversion of the problem. The problem is shooters getting into schools not the issue of gun control.
     I am also mentioning that I believe the political elites are open to personal lawsuits by the parents of school children injured or killed by school children on the basis that the elites were knowingly negligent in having metal detectors and gunpowder-sniffing dogs at school entrances. The big city schools have been using metal detectors for years because of armed gang members. They have proven effective. They are also widely used in other buildings such as courts and Social Security offices. The elites cannot plead ignorance of them. The elites cannot plead ignorance of the prevalence of school shootings either. Something like 240 of them over the years. So the political elites are highly vulnerable to criminal negligence suits.
     I am also suggesting individuals call or email their local school board members. Get their addresses too so you can demonstrate, legally of course, in front of their homes when the next school shooting happens in America. Demand detectors and dogs at the local schools. These school board members must be held accountable. They get a salary, prestige, and power. They should be
strengthening the defenses of schools against allowing angry, young men walking in with guns, not blathering about gun control. Peter "Nick" Nickerson.

School Shooting #14

     Another unpleasant encounter with a person who is  probably Jewish- Evan Goldman- who left a message giving his name and then telling me to call him. Not a question. Not a "please" at the end. I think he's the aide to some political elite. Quite arrogant, Evan. At least for the goy. Wake up, Jews! You had 50,000
screaming Muslim Arabs yesterday at your border, trying to get into Israel and kill everyone there. Plus, the young evangelical Christians in America are getting weak stomachs about you, of all things, daring to defend your people and land. Jews don't have a lot of friends, and they're getting fewer. Maybe not in New England but how about Europe? Watch your manners and don't alienate your goy friends. You need us, and we need you. So be nice.
     In continuing my national survey, I have emailed Alabama Governor, Kay Ivey and Alabama US Senator Richard Shelby my two questions about metal detectors and dogs. I also emailed the nearest school board, Windham County, about metal detectors and dogs and asking if they think they can defend themselves against parents of wounded or killed children charging the school board members occupationally and well as personally with criminal negligence. I don't. I am also adding that I would like politeness in responses. I am trying to protect the children, not make those who aren't angry. Nick- Redneck with a major in philosophy.

School Shootings #13

     I received a letter from Vermont US Senator Patrick Leahy thanking me for contacting him about the Safe Student Act. The problem is that I hadn't. I had talked to an aide about detectors and dogs. Instead of calling,I decided today to use his the email messaging service he provides. There I asked him again - I believe- the two questions: Do you suspect that the collectivists, by ignoring or resisting putting metal detectors and gunpowder-sniffing Labradors at school entrances, are consciously or unconsciously using the shooting of schoolchildren as a vehicle to ride all the way to a ban on the individual's right to own a firearm? What is your position on putting metal detectors and gunpowder sniffing Labradors at school entrances?
     I also wrote that these two questions were honest and direct, and I would like the same in his responses. I gave this blog site so he could evaluate whether I'm being accurate in what I report about him.
     I would say that Patrick Leahy is a collectivist so I anticipate this response will be gamey too. Let's see.
     I got a rather nasty response from Julie Rabinowitz, aide to Maine Governor Paul LePage. Her reply to my questions was to watch a Fox News Show. Therefore I wrote an email to the governor noting his aide's gratuitous hostility. Why are so many Jews against being armed? Six million of them were murdered during WW ll just for being Jews. When they did fight, like in the Warsaw Ghetto, they fought heroically and extremely effectively. Look a little Israel fighting in a sea of Arabs demanding their annihilation. A gun should be a Jew's best friend! Jews cannot afford to be alienating their friends either, Julie. You don't have that many. Arrogance for a goy may not be arrogance for a Jew, but Jews should be aware of how they come across to the dominant culture especially when they don't like to assimilate with the dominant culture.
I also asked the governor my two questions, noting they were honest, direct and I would like the same in response. A little courtesy might be nice too! Nick - Redneck with a philosophy major

School Shootings #12

     Supposedly, the first school shooting took place during Pontiac's War in Greencastle, Pennsylvania [which seems a little south of where Pontiac's War took place] on July 26, 1764. A band of Delaware Indians broke into a schoolhouse, shot and killed the teacher, Enoch Brown, and then, apparently using knives and tomahawks, injured two and killed seven students.
     Another strange event took place when a six year old female child shot and killed a classmate in 2000. I went to the website, I think, Dr. Claudia for this information.
     Next, I found that Google is selling metal detectors, wands to walk-throughs- for only $30 to $4,000.
     Meandering around the internet, I read that parents at the Douglas High School are petitioning the school elites to allow them - the parents!- to buy metal detectors. The people are seizing the initiative because the school elites, either consciously or unconsciously, really don't want to stop school shootings because they want to ride them until they get guns get banned.
     Let me give another reason why I think that is a plausible scenario: School elites are overwhelmingly leftists. Leftists are communists. Communism believes that increasing the power of the State - the government employees- should be the ultimate objective of every person. In communist countries, if you do not support the ultimate objective you will, at best, be punished until you do. At worst, you will be tortured to death. Now what do communists hate? The armed citizen.
Being armed gives the individual chutzpah he will never have unarmed. In communism, only the supreme dictator can have chutzpah. The rest of the population is castrated and must grovel before the supreme dictator. Obviously, the armed citizen is a threat to communists, and the communists are nothing if not paranoid- we see that with college students on campuses- as what they're doing is horrible and they project that upon others. What is "sacrificing" a few hundred school children to the greater good of disarming the individual? After all, Stalin killed at least twenty million people in the name of the State. It couldn't happen in America? Why not if Americans have the same ideas as Stalin? People act out their ideas. It's already happening on many college campuses.
     Ross Berman of the Berman Law Group in Boca Raton has become unhappy with the procrastination of the Parkland school officials in providing defenses in schools to school shooters. So he is trying to get the alumni of high schools to buy metal detectors and has named his plan "The Alumni Challenge."
     But the school elites are fighting back. These leftists -communists- are saying that schools don't have the money or staff. They also say using wands in random checks would be unfair. They are putting conditions on accepting detectors and insisting that any security initiatives would have to be coordinated with school district. They are saying they don't want "their"schools to look like prisons. In other words, they want to stop school security measures through endless meetings that do nothing but nit-pick forever. They are using any lie or difficulty they can find to keep the schools undefended. Again, this is entirely consistent with the leftists -the collectivists. Haven't they always been against America spending for military defense? Aren't they against walls or other defenses against  illegals trying to get into America? Of course, they would be against defending schools from shooters. But don't expect them to admit to it. The only time a collectivist isn't lying is when he admits you caught him in a lie! I say that the parents of school children injured or killed in the next school shooting should band together and hire a lawyer to sue their school officials, both personally and professionally, for criminal negligence.
     Ross Berman, a lawyer, undoubtedly knows a game when he sees one so he
has hired a public relations firm to try to deal with the Parkland school officials' criminal negligence in not providing defenses, not even after a school shooting massacre. The go-to person in that firm is Lynn Aronberg. A few hours ago, I called the Berman Law Firm. I found the receptionist impossible to understand initially and had to ask, "I'm speaking English. Are you?" But things got better, and she will pass on to her supervisor a request to Ross Berman to either call or email me. I would like to know if he suspects that either consciously or unconsciously school officials oppose defending schools from shooters.

Pitchfork Time - As you may know, the Justice Department and the FBI are stonewalling efforts by Congress to get documents that will shed light on Russiagate. Recently, Congress finally got some highly redacted transcripts of a conversation between the two FBI lovers Strzok and Page. Come to find out, the FBI had chosen to redact - blacken out- a part where the two lovers discussed Deputy Director McCabe's $70,000 conference table. Yes, a $70,000 conference table for McCabe. Now that's a real patriot! You see why the government employees don't want the individual armed? They're the beast.
   

School Shootings #11

     My calls to the Brattleboro school system were apparently rewarded with this friendly call-back: "This is ------ ------ (I couldn't make out the name as voice was faint), Superindent of Schools, Vermont, returning your call." For those aspiring to professionalism, let me make two points about this call. First, you speak the person's name so I can be sure the call is directed to me. Second, you give the call-back number so I can return the call. I think in this call, professionalism was trumped by hostility.
    To those trusting people who don't think the elite can willingly kill people to get what it wants, let me tell you about this: You want the best airplane controllers possible so you base your applications on merit. Right? But not Obama. He added the "Background Questionnaire" to see if people could claim poverty and other hardships when growing up. These disadvantages would make you a better air controller? Hardly. In fact, the more difficulties you have in life, the greater the chance that you would have issues that would get in the way of the high-stress job of airplane traffic controller. But in Obama's collectivist world, these disadvantages could outweigh merit. In addition, if you reported a happy childhood, you would be disqualified from being an airplane traffic controller (this comes from the credible Wall Street Journal, folks). Isn't this crazy and highly dangerous to the people flying in those  airplanes? It sounded more like Obama was trying to find candidates for psychotherapy! My point is that when this plan of supplanting merit by sob stories (were they even checked out for veracity?) was presented by Obama, the elites in the US Transportation Department and the elites in the Federal Aviation Administration sat on their weak, fat asses and said nothing to protect the American people in airplanes eight miles up in the sky from this insanity.
     If the elites will do that to us, then they will ignore defending schools from shooters by using metal detectors and gunpowder-sniffing Labradors at school entrances in order to pursue the collectivists' dream of banning gun ownership in America. Stand up by calling or emailing your school board member - just one- and ask her for her position in defending schools from shooters by using metal detectors and gunpowder-sniffing dogs at the entrances. Would you let me know how it goes? Join me in the battle to protect the children! Nick 352-359-0850 peternickerson12@yahoo.com

School Shootings #10

     Did I stumble into a rigid bureaucracy today! I called the Brattleboro school system trying to find out if anyone was discussing metal detectors and gunpowder sniffing dogs and got curtly shuffled from one employee to another, ending up with leaving a message for an assistant to please call me. As I waited on the phone, trying to find a human to talk to, I wondered how many administrators have been injured or killed in school shootings. They certainly seem either absent or inaccessible. They wouldn't even give me a school board member's phone number. Now that's real democracy. The whole experience of calling the school board was authoritarian. Let's see if I hear from the superintendent. I called 802-451-3400 first and then 802-254-3730.
     I also called Texas US Representative Roberto Alonzo, 512-463-0408, but was asked to email him.
     The Wall Street Journal recently published some news about a student who simply saw Charles Williams shooting his father's .22 revolver at school students. I believe a shot from a .22 will knock over a human only thirty percent of the time. It is the smallest calibre. Charles Williams killed two students and wounded thirteen. The student who saw him shooting says that seventeen years later Charles Williams "ruined" his life as he sought relief in drugs and has untreated PTSD.
     I mentioned this because yesterday I wrote against teaching boys to be less stoic and more feminine. Of course, I'm not talking about extreme stoicism as when my father told me to kill my beagle puppy, his mother, and other beagles in our kennel when they got distemper. I had to use a lead pipe and beat them to death. That was asking too much of a little boy, and I think just about every father knows that. I'm talking about sucking it up and doing the job in less painful situations. America simply can not afford to have males too sensitive to defend America. This can happen. I had a girlfriend whose husband was Japanese and being born after WW II was a pacifist. This was fine in Brattleboro, the most loving city in the nation in the most loving state in the US - Vermont.
But it didn't work so well on an outing at a bar in Mexico one evening. A very macho American, a local, began buying them drinks, trying to get them drunk. Then he began insisting they take a ride in his cadillac to his house. My girlfriend was playmate beautiful, and she told me that she realized then that her husband would not protect her. He was a pacifist. Finally, they were able to get themselves away from this aggressive man. We do not want Americans to be so passive that they will not protect their families and their country. ISIS, China, North Korea, Russia, and Iran will quickly enslave us. We who they let live. It's not realistic to be passive. The world is not a utopia and never will be because there are finite resources with infinite needs from humans.
     Did you notice the lie in the Maine Boys To Men Program. It had stated that
the problem wasn't with boys but with the culture, but in reality they were "working" with boys not the culture. Working with the culture would be putting up signs, going on television, writing articles, that sort of thing. They didn't do that. Instead, they are working with boys using conversion therapy to get rid of their "toxic" masculinity. You lied! But why, one may ask. The answer is follow the money. There's third party funding - the school system- available for "treating" kids with conversion therapy so they won't be school shooters, but no
money to be had working with the "culture" whatever that is. Nick

     Toxic masculinity appears to be boys and men trying to be dominant and being angry most of the time. First of all, it is your perfect right to try to dominate and be angry. The dominant male gets the pretty women. It's good evolution and thus it's part of the evolutionary drive for the individual to reproduce. If you choose to be angry or become angry as life seems to deal you one bad hand after another, that is your right. You have no obligation to have a particular mood. Telling little Johnny to be a brave little boy and not cry is now wrong. Boys shouldn't be encouraged to be stoic but should be just as sensitive as girls. This is in a world where ISIS skins people alive and puts living children into commercial mixing bowls and turn the bowls on. We absolutely must have Americans strong- stoic enough- to deal with these atrocities and not cry, at least for a while. Bury the dead respectfully, cry, and then go kill the murderers.
     The Nazi-collectivists are using the term "toxic masculinity" to propagandize it into a cultural problem. Their solution to toxic masculinity is conversion therapy. You might remember it was used to try to convert homosexuals to heterosexuality and failed because we are individuals. Conversion therapy for people who have toxic masculinity is being touted as an answer to school shootings. This fits the basic principle of Nazi-collectivism: if the perfect program can just be found, all people subjected to it will become perfect. The reality is more in the direction that all people subjected to it will become dead as collectivism is the most killingest idea ever invented. Just as Lenin, Stalin, Mao, the Castro brothers, and Pol Pot. Also ask them how many beautiful girls they made their personal sex slaves too! I'm sure they weren't the least bit angry when they raped these girls either.
     A recent article in the Wall Street Journal reported that two New York Times reporters have devised a program to detoxify masculinity. The program was the Maine Boys To Men program started in 1988 and now being used in public schools there. I called the Maine Governor's Office today, but the aide hadn't heard of it. But the program has a phone number, 207-774-9994., and a website.
The website says it "confronts narrow gender assumptions" and "we believe it is not the boys but rather the culture in which they live and grow that it in need of repair." But instead of addressing the culture and not the boys, they address the boys. I guess they would say they're addressing the culture in the boys. With their better culture, of course.
      Their blog soothes us with the good news that "thousands" of their boys in middle school have shown shifts in attitudes toward "privilege."Studies by the University of New Hampshire substantiate these shifts.I hope those shifts are that blacks and women shouldn't have extra rights such as being "protected classes" and having affirmative action and set-asides to give them unfair advantages over whites.  Somehow, I doubt those are the shifts, though the blog assures us that they are for "gender equality."
     The blog takes to task the men around Harvey Weinstein who kept him safe as he preyed on women. I ask how about the women too like the millionaire actresses and female politicians like the woman who won the popular vote for president? Of course, she was too fear and trembling to say anything! That's presidential timber.
     The take-away is that instead of keeping shooters outside schools by the use of metal detectors and gunpowder-sniffing Labradors, the Nazi-Collectivists first used school shootings as the excuse to try to snuff out gun ownership. Now it's expanded to trying to snuff out masculinity by conversion therapy which, like socialism, has been demonstrated not to work. But don't let that bother the Nazi-collectivists. Nick

School Shootings #8

     The denial of metal detectors and gunpowder-sniffing Labradors in schools just gets curiouser and curiouser. The Week magazine wrote about the Houston Chronicle urgently, seemingly, calling for measures "the whole nation knows will make a difference." It's reporters and columnists must be idiots because all they have to do is look at what the elites are doing to protect themselves if they can be induced to get off their lazy asses. Just go to a  courthouse or a Social Security Office and you will encounter walk-through metal detectors and security guards with guns. That's what measures are making a difference, yet these newspaper idiots are gaming you as if the answer to school security is so difficult.
    So why are the elites trying to con you and ignore putting up detectors and labs at the entrances to schools? My first hypothesis was that the collectivists think they have a vehicle - school shootings- that they can ride all the way to a ban on gun ownership by the individual. The collectivists are at war against the individual and disarming him would be a martial and psychological victory over him. My second hypothesis is that many collectivists do not want to spend the money necessary to install, maintain, and man detectors and gunpowder sniffing dogs for those who get their guns made with 3-D copiers plus providing a needed redundancy to detectors as all thing fail sometimes.
     One huge group of collectivists who are also in the line of fire at schools are teachers. I suspect teachers if not consciously, then unconsciously, are thinking, "We can't be spending money on detectors and dogs! I want to get a big, fat raise!" It is hard to believe that teachers who are victims at school shootings are not demanding detectors and dogs instead of walking out of school for raises, but there are several reasons. First, teacher and social workers ( I'm one of the latter) score at the bottom in IQs in the professions. Secondly, people are pathetically timid and adaptable (again, I can attest to that, and I am only doing this assertive, determined effort here to keep the harpies of remorse from eating my alive at night in bed. I can't fool myself like the star of Manchester By The Sea who can only get release from his harpies by getting into fights with innocents at bars.) Teachers may be lions in the classrooms but frightened rabbits outside of them. Thirdly, teachers will be punished if they get outside of their union's box. There's a cost to everything. Teachers have long ago sacrificed being free and being a professional to the security, remuneration, and control of being union members. Fourth, schoolteachers are mainly collectivists. They go with the herd even with the slice of lemmings who go over the cliff.They're not going to be the nail that sticks out.
     It is bizarre that teachers, who are killed in school shootings, would not be demanding metal detectors and gunpowder-sniffing dogs, but there are powerful reasons for doing that as I've listed. Plus, not so smart people are the most numerous users of the most primitive defense mechanism there is: denial as in
"Oh, it's not going to happen to me so I'll continue my boycott for higher wages instead of detectors and dogs." Dead schoolteachers don't get to spend their raises.

School Shootings #7

     I have emailed Tomi Lahren of Fox News to get her take on why the politicians are even talking about metal detectors and gunpowder-sniffing dogs- preferably Labradors who are warm and fuzzy- at school entrances. I may not hear from her but at least she will know I support her and would take the drink thrown in her face at the restaurant by some Nazi- collectivist.
     I was struck by the timidity of the Vermont state legislature's sergeant of arms this week when I asked him if he even heard of any talk about detectors and dogs by the state politicians gathered there. He wouldn't reply because his office was "bipartisan." Is protecting our children a partisan issue? Has rationality and the love of schoolchildren's lives now become decided on political grounds? If the Republicans supported detectors and dogs at schools, would Democrats and other collectivists be against them simply because Republicans were for them? In that case, can the Republicans pass a law mandating humans breathe, and then the collectivists would oppose the law and maybe even refuse to breathe as part of their stupid Resistance? One could only hope! Are we so ruled by our amygdala now that we're proud of our emotional immaturity and barbarity?
What happens to all these crazies? How do they hold jobs? Do they all get on disability because they're oh so sensitive? Who is going to have businesses so people can have jobs and be taxed so these snowflakes can get their disability checks -which is very dubious as paranoid schizophrenics are having problems?
Oh! The hateful Republicans will do that. It's great that the takers despise the makers. Otherwise, they would hate themselves, and they don't have the guts to do that. Nick
