Pat Dollard

Cant wait to hear the new developments Pat. i have sent this story around to everyone i could think of and everyone’s efforts seem to be paying off. there sure needs to be some serious punishment for that.

Pat

Rereading my previous post, I read a little like I am presuming to tell you your business. Not my intention!

Rather just a little frustration surfacing. I see the new media as the last great hope; yet those who get the real news out get damn little credit and reward.

To all At Dollard Nation:
We as christians must fight at all costs for we are in a war with satin and it has been this way from the beggining. We are at the end of the battle and all mankind need to choose their leader. Choose the light of God or darkness of satin. It is very simple the road to Heaven is thru him God, John 14: 6 , but will last for eterny.

Nothing on the internet is secure! and I do mean NOTHING. Even deleted items are retrievable.

I’m putting together the info that I have about professional-grade crypto and will post it this week. Today I was wrapped up in customer-support issues.

I don’t necessarily trust what I was led to believe some years ago, because I think I was told disinformation so any resulting cryptosystem based on it could be vulnerable to either probability distribution analysis, or an algorithmic attack (which, incidentally, is how you defeat Enigma: Not by trying to figure out the total possible combinations the rotors could be set to, but the formula by which they are rotated in-between each keystroke).

Basically, what you want is a modified substitution cipher in which the message is concatenated into a bit string that is “chopped up” into random lengths and inserted (or “substituted”) into random locations within an extremely-large, empty buffer. The “number generator” then analyzes the substitutions as its entropy to “fill in” the empty space around the substitutions with noise that perfectly blends the substitutions into the noise, such that the noise and messages bits are completely ambiguous. No amount of analysis will betray which is which.

The way you “decrypt” such a message (ergo, its “trapdoor”) is to simply feed it into program that has the same “initialization vectors” (IVs) that were used to prep the pseudo-random number generator that substituted the message into the noise buffer. The program will thusly know where the substitutions are and can extract them from the noise, reconcatenate them together, and store them as 8-bit bytes.

About the only thing that Rat Boy told me that I believe is this: “Any crypto system worthy of the name will, at some point, force your opponent to answer the question, ‘Am I looking at signal or am I looking at noise?’ As long as he cannot answer that question, your message is safe.” Anything less than that and you are dealing with a glorified cable TV scrambler, not true crypto.

Concealment does *NOT* equal cover. Great USMC video of why our homes would be useless in any kind of standoff. Bullets go THROUGH an American house like Swiss cheese.

America’s used up all the really good iron ore here. What we have left takes a lot more time and effort to make decent steel.

And the steel unions are worse than the auto unions. The processes have been automated to the point a trained monkey can do it. Which means even a totally uneducated Turk or Chinaman can do it for pennies an hour. And China especially has large deposits of high quality iron ore.

Unbreakable,

One of the things they didn’t take into account on that test is the fact that most cinder block construction includes filling of the cells with grout or small aggregate concrete. Most brick facing on houses is done the same, for purposes of creating columns so that the wall has support. Not to mention, most cinder block homes have stucco (at least in Florida) which acts as another layer of concrete, and “stands off” of the wall approximately 1/2″ to 3/4″ typically and can assume plasticity during high winds, impact, etc. due to the way in which stucco is applied. Another thing they didn’t mention is that they are using rounds specifically meant to penetrate armor, as well as explosive rounds from the 203, etc. Big duh factor in this test.

This test is nothing more than shooting at unfinished structures, and I can guarantee that there is no structure made with less than 2 feet of concrete that will stop all projectiles anyway. Small arms such as pistols will be stopped by modern structures but higher speed rifle rounds will penetrate. That’s a no brainer. You do stand a better chance in an actual structure, but not much better.

This is meant to scare people? 98% of combat consists of nothing but concealment anyway. Cover comes in sandbags and less rigid forms of wall making, with the wall being 2′ or thicker, this is why training to build bunkers consists of 5 bag deep structures being the minimum for true bunkers. That art has been lost though. Anything rigid will assume the form of the projectiles shot at it at speeds higher than 900 fps. There are actually people here in Florida building their homes with the filled cells using concrete every 4′ and sand for every cell other than those. It makes for good insulation as well. I would be interested to see tests on structures like those.

I would have been impressed had they not been using military ammunition, military weapons, etc. and had used conventionally available civilian rounds with civilian semi-auto rifles, shot by hand and not braced to impact at the same point repeatedly.

No I have not used that company.

The old Cajuns and country folk everywhere used to keep their meet in large fired earthenware urns filled with cooking oil. It will keep for a while that way, but still eventually go rancid.

I presume that St. Croix has a fair amount of sun and it may be a good idea to invest in a small solar panel set up to provide for a deep freezer. Home canning works well to.

My grandparents were pretty self sufficient on their small farm. They had a small vegetable garden of about 1000 square feet, a few dozen chickens for eggs and when a hen quit laying it would end up on the Sunday dinner plate in two weeks. They had just 3 or 4 cows and one bull.

Since my grandfather was a finishing carpenter they did not need a cash crop. Lots of the poorer Cajuns who lived in town raised rabbits for meat.

According to my father their diet during the Great Depression consisted of mostly vegetables and eggs with meat served only on Sunday and each received a 4 oz portion. They ate lots of eggs for their protein. I’ve got to say that my grandmother’s Sunday chickens were great. Two weeks in a wire floored cage about two feet above the ground, with water changed twice daily and fresh cracked corn made for very sweet tasty meat.

Now chicken manure is very high in nitrogen so it tends to burn away any flora it consistently touches.

It appears to me that they are capitalizing on basic stuff you can get from the hardware store (except for the gas mask) for less. They are charging for putting it all into one container.

If you really want long term storage type items, you can get them from the grocery store, or order a boatload (no pun intended) of Ball jars and can your own foods. It really isn’t that difficult, and the basics can be found via a search engine. Meats, veggies, etc. can all be canned and stored for 2-5 years if processed and stored properly. The tools, hell, go to the local shops and get what you think you’ll need. Everything you might need to build a house, will probably work tool wise. Basic hammer, a basic axe, knives (assorted types) and just stick to the basics. Mankind has lived for thousands of years without the packaging that company is offering, I am quite sure mankind can do it further without it as well.

Common sense goes a long way toward getting your own survival equipment together, and the items you’ll need is based on your locale. A good water purification system (non chlorine based, as well as a never needing to replaced filter) is a good choice. I personally use a drop of bleach to five gallons of water, which is less chlorine that you will get through most water taps these days, but enough to do the job. It won’t be Britta filter type quality, but it will be drinkable.
