Who Would Want to Steal a Disney Movie?

Anything post-Roy O., I mean, and especially anything post-Roy Jr.

Pirates allegedly stole a new Pirate movie from the formerly entertaining entertainment company. The motives are unknown. Disney has refused to pay a ransom for the work – maybe even they don’t want it.

I’m not paying either. Let it go down to Davy Jones locker.

By the way, I did recently re-watch part of a real movie: McClintock!

Gunning For Glory: Omnibus Second Amendment Court Case Doomed From Start; Yet, Unlooked for Smaller, Ordinary Victories Appear

The day or week, I can’t recall, I mentioned a federal court case from Kansas, U.S. v. Cox,  No. 6:15-cr-10150-JTM-01, 02 (D. Kan., 2016). Cox ran a firearms business, in Kansas, and without an Imperial license. Nominally “protected” by Kansas law, he felt the federal formality unnecessary. The Empire took issue and prosecuted him for breaking its illegal gun control laws.

As part of his defense, Cox challenged those laws – all federal gun control, in fact. He sought a declaration of the truth, that all of these laws run afoul of the Second Amendment. He lost. His Motion to Dismiss and his entire position failed; a jury convicted him of something.

Some maintain hope that either the Tenth Circuit or the Supreme Court will reverse the injustice. I, having tried federal firearms cases and knowing the system like few others, know better. I didn’t need to look far into this matter. The legality really doesn’t matter. Freedom from D.C. comes only when D.C. goes the way of Rome. The good news, by that measure, is that it is now about 470 A.D. Tick, tick, tick.

However, the smaller victories come forth on a near daily basis. Today, even the looniest of the lefties – once the most ardent gun grabbers – open tote ARs in the streets. Given enough time, and if they don’t shoot themselves in the process, this may actually turn them into real Americans. The rest of us are armed to the teeth and enjoy one legal success after another.

State after state after state, the gun controls continue to break down. For example, one jurisdiction after another passes some form of “campus carry”, allowing guns at colleges. This improves safety and civic atmosphere. It also has other, unexpected but tangible, benefits.

The prospect of a man or men, armed, in the classroom, drives the communist professors nuts. It also drives them out the door.

An associate professor at the University of Kansas has publicly resigned in protest of the school’s new weapons policy allowing students to carry concealed guns on campus.

Jacob Dorman, an associate professor of history and American studies at the university for the past 10 years, had his resignation letter published Friday by the The Topeka Capital-Journal.

“Kansas can have great universities, or it can have concealed carry in classrooms, but it cannot have both,” he wrote. “Let us not let the NRA destroy the future of the state of Kansas with a specious argument about the Second Amendment.”

Actually, professor, they can have both. The facts of the new law and your departure prove that. This could have far-ranging positive ramifications.

Cox lost but the students of higher education in Kansas won. (The geographic location of both these stories was a coincidence.

The students, now free to carry, are free from the fear of the likes of Abdul Artan or Dylan Roof. Freedom and safety, together. Very nice. And, with the riddance of people like Dorman, they now stand to actually get an education.

campus-carry

This map is already out of date. NCSL.

Dorman, formerly a KU “history” professor, theorized both Amerika and the Harlem “Renaissance.” He wrote a both about chosen black Israelites and is writing one about Black Muslim black magic in the Orient … or something. All to do with Amerikan history, you know. He’ll now do that some place else. Going forward, the Kansas students, while actually learning, will have to come up with their own fantastic fairy tales.

The morals, here, are several. Live free. Humor the idiot empire; pay their bribes and buy their licenses and laugh. Project and protect freedom and intellectualism on campus. Watch the SJWs run.

This is real American history in the making.

Cyberattack May Get Worse Tomorrow

Don’t get caught in the next wave.

Security experts are warning that the global cyberattack that began on Friday is likely to be magnified in the new workweek as users return to their offices and turn on their computers.

Many workers, particularly in Asia, had logged off on Friday before the malicious software, stolen from the United States government, began proliferating across computer systems around the world. So the true effect of the attack may emerge on Monday as employees return and log in.

Moreover, copycat variants of the malicious software behind the attacks have begun to spread, according to experts. “We are in the second wave,” said Matthieu Suiche of Comae Technologies, a cybersecurity company based in the United Arab Emirates. “As expected, the attackers have released new variants of the malware. We can surely expect more.”

This monster seems to be mainly aimed at Microsoft products. For God’s sake, update everything and protect yourselves. Yesterday, a former NSA hacker friend told me where to find a video lecture on this system (also by a former NSA hacker) and how to beat it – that I totally forgot…. Another friend, a brewery consultant, had copious amounts of his latest creation on hand… Umm….

Anyway, the hunt is on (even as I suggested Friday) for the attackers.

International investigators are hunting for those behind an unprecedented cyber-attack that affected systems in dozens of countries, including at banks, hospitals and government agencies, as security experts sought to contain the fallout.

The assault, which began Friday and was being described as the biggest-ever cyber ransom attack, struck state agencies and major companies around the world — from Russian banks and British hospitals to FedEx and European car factories.

“The recent attack is at an unprecedented level and will require a complex international investigation to identify the culprits,” said Europol, Europe’s police agency.

Europol said a special task force at its European Cybercrime Centre was “specially designed to assist in such investigations and will play an important role in supporting the investigation”.

Be careful when you open emails. Except from me. My email list is ready for a beta-test and I may (after this crap settles) soon send out a salvo. It’ll be fun. Promise.

News It or Lose It

America, government, media, news, truth

Charles Krauthammer recently said on Fox News that, given the GOP-DNC-Comey-Russia-Trump-media mania and mass misinformation campaign, that the American people increasingly have nowhere to turn for accurate information. Considering that the mass media is mostly owned for four or five large companies, all beholden to special interests and incestuously tied to the crazed government in D.C., it makes perfect sense. Of course, I’m not sure most people want accurate information. Air conditioning, cable, and beer – yes. Info – maybe not.

These trends are doing to the media and reporting what a lack of income has done to retail – killing it, slowly but surely.

Consequently, a new study shows the number of reporters on the streets, digging up facts, is collapsing. A snapshot of the largest media markets over the past ten years or so:

nimbus-image-1494684464618

BLS / Apartment List.

Odds are your city has 100 reporters or less. A few places are growing – D.C. especially – but the overall trend is down, precipitously.

At the rate things are going, I calculate that by 2027 we will be down to just 11 reporters nationwide. Two of those will be Russian hackers, the rest robots.

Enjoy the AC and TV.

A Case for James Bond

England, government, hacking, MI6, NSA, security, War

Hackers are demanding money to unlock computers in multiple countries following a massive ransom-wear attack. England is particularly hard hit.

LONDON — Hackers exploiting data stolen from the United States government conducted extensive cyberattacks on Friday that hit dozens of countries around the world, severely disrupting Britain’s public health system and wreaking havoc on tens of thousands of computers elsewhere.

Hospitals in Britain appeared to be the most severely affected by the attacks, which aimed to blackmail computer users by seizing their data. The attacks blocked doctors’ access to patient files and forced emergency rooms to divert people seeking urgent care.

Corporate computer systems in many other countries — including FedEx of the United States, one of the world’s leading international shippers — were among those affected.

The kicker is that the malicious software used was developed by the NSA in America – to protect us and such. Just as similar hacking tools from the CIA were recently made public, so the NSA has a hard time keeping track of its cyber weapons. Way to go, government.

In this case, people’s lives are at stake. It sounds like no British NHS patients died but they could have. They were certainly inconvenienced. This is more than a breach of privacy. This is an act of terrorism or of war. It should be treated as such. Perhaps one government can clean up the mess caused by another.

Tracking down the hackers will be very difficult. Still, I imagine it could be done. And it should be. Theresa May should turn MI6 loose with orders to hunt down and eradicate the vermin – in Africa, Russia, Mexico – wherever they’re hiding.

And maybe the Military-Security Complex can do a better job of managing its monsters. That, or just not have them.

Way to go, Big Sleazy

America, culture, history, Jeff Davis, New Orleans, race, society, stupid

I congratulate the City of New Orleans and its upstanding citizens on their successful removal of the Statue of Jefferson Davis, first, last, and greatest President of the C.S.A.

Workers in New Orleans in the early hours of Thursday took down a statue of Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. It was the second of four such statues or monuments targeted for removal as city officials seek to erase the vestiges of an era that celebrated white supremacy and racism.

Crews, wearing masks to cover their faces, worked under a heavy police presence starting at 3 a.m. to dismantle the statue, which was erected in 1911, nearly 50 years after the end of the war, and commissioned by the Jefferson Davis Memorial Association.

Wearing masks over their faces … like the Klan. Irony lost, certainly.

Begone, era of white supremacy and racism! Begone, history, heritage, pride and civility! Hell, begone all ye old, dirty, usurping, 0-culture crackers! Comes now the era of the SJW, the post-1965 Amerika!

08MONUMENTS1-master768

Annie Flanagan / Carlos Slim’s Blog.

But, seriously, congratulations to the people of the Big High-Crime Drainage Ditch. All their problems are now solved. Never again need they fear: ridiculously, hilariously failed schools; high unemployment; crime to make Detroit wince; gangs; drugs; welfare careerism by the generation; illiteracy; an economy as stagnant as their beloved swamp; the swamp; 110% humidity; tropical diseases; public corruption; public urination; public vomiting; vagrancy; illegal gun raids; looters; Superdome sodomy and rape sprees; police looters, and; the next Katrina.

Getting rid of one old white man accomplished so much. Two men – I think they did away with Gen. Beauregard too, him and his horse. Two men and a horse gone and N.O. becomes paradise on earth. It’s like Newspeak for the statuary aware – out with the old and tainted and in with a better, brighter, if lower and dumber future. You will see this improvement immediately upon your next visit to N’Awlins. You will; I’ve made my last trip.

This pitiful episode, and the hundreds like it around the faltering U.S., do lend some optimism to the prospect of one day tearing down other monuments – those to Amerika’s favorite plagiarist, drunken womanizer, and communist. I think the FBI files will be unsealed in ten years or so.

Until then, in honor of anti-Southern hatred in N’Awlins and elsewhere, I leave you with this:

Some Encouraging Book Numbers

Author Earnings, books, ebooks, English, publishing

If you’re thinking about writing a book, the time has never been better.

Authorearnings.com dug deep into some recent sales numbers and produced a detailed report. The information centers on sales of ebooks and printed copies in the five largest English-speaking countries: US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

These five nations have a combined population of over 450 million. And those people read books. Or at least they buy them. The most recent data show they collectively purchased over 1.6 billion books in the latest measureable year. That’s about 3.5 books per person per year.

nimbus-image-1494463958281

authorearnings.com.

Imagine if your book was one of the 3.5. No, you won’t get everyone to buy – not even close. But the sheer, staggering volume of sales is mind-boggling. This lays to rest the excuse that “there are already too many books out there.” Maybe there are but the people seem to want more.

And these are the five largest Anglo nations, not even the entirety of the English-speaking world. I do not know for certain but I suppose translations are pretty easy to obtain. That opens up the rest of the planet – the parts that read.

This is great food for literary sales thought. And it reminds me that I really need to crank out another volume … or ten.

Happy writing. Happy reading.

Could Always Be Worse, Probably Will Be, Might Be Now

America, Idiocracy, politics

A discussion today turned, jokingly, to the film Idiocracy, which was once considered a comedy but is now recognized as a prophetic documentary. All in attendance to the discussion agreed that the U.S. is there now.

Someone made the comment that the current U.S. President sure looks and acts the part of President Camacho. We all laughed. Then…

Not to long thereafter I saw this on Drudge:

nimbus-image-1494441051272

I thought, “Hell, this could actually get worse…” Then I looked across the page and saw this:

nimbus-image-1494441083324

No. Well, yes. Um. I suppose we have arrived at a permanent state of worse.

I’m thinking Idiocracy, like 1984 and Fahrenheit 451, is starting to look a little tame in comparison with the actual dystopian future.

cigars

Dear Lord, 9 PM rolled around and I realized I had not issued anything, here, today. Been busy, sorry. It also occurred to me I haven’t done a cigar review in at least a few weeks. I’ll keep this short – either this or an old re-post (how much fun are those?).

This is not a review. It’s a cigar review preview…

Check this out:

_20170509_211208

MMMMmmmmMaduro…

_20170509_211101

55 pounds or ounces? Hefty either weigh.

_20170509_211020

Yes. That is a real LFD Coronado. I mentioned the old C, circa 2005 or 2007, last month – fond memories. This is the comeback edition. Probably gonna fire that up in a few. It’s kind of like the buildup to a first date. No. It’s more like a date with the hot girl you had a fling with ten years ago and haven’t seen since. No. It’s better. It’s a smoke.

Developing.

More tomorrow.

Oh yeah, other stuff happened today too: Comey’s EMP rallied the stock market in North Korea; or something.

Night…
