401 mKay part 2


401 mKay part 2
( veering off topic slightly on the way to making a point ) Yesterday, after I had written the first part of this article where I finished up talking about rising crime, I get harassed by the police. Well, harassed is too harsh of a word. A very professional and polite city policeman questioned me regarding a complaint. Every department has its jag-offs, but I've basically only had good dealings with both the local and county LEO's here. These folks tend to be more relaxed when Disadvantaged Youth aren't shooting at them. Yes, they are more in your face here, as they are more proactive, but they aren't belligerent.
*
I'm walking the dog at a relatively late hour ( she wants two a day. The first one I usually conduct prior to sunrise, but then she eats and sleeps and is generally lazy as sin until she feels it is time for another outing ), and some woman, after turning and U-turning all over the intersection, pulls over and starts asking me about the location of a home for sale. I'm polite, even though I hate people. I figure confrontation will just make socializing escalate. She doesn't make a lot of sense, but then, few people do. I resume the walk.
*
Turning into the NOL's driveway, the city squad car pulls up. No one else is around, so he is obviously there for me, and I wait for him to exit the vehicle. I have no earthly clue what he could possibly want. He is questioning me about a stolen cell phone and that goes on for a time. It seems, supposedly, that its location tracks to me. And now the crazy bitches driving and weird questions make sense ( when she asks me “did you just make a call” I was confused, but I answered her. I thought you were looking for an address? She was pretty bad at ad libbing ).
*
After running my name through and making notes, well, that was that. Thank you for your time, Sir. I should add I only figured out the above later upon reflection. And yes, I say “never talk to the cops” but you can't clam up the first time one speaks to you. One pulls you over for a defective blinker, what are you going to do, demand a lawyer? That is for when things escalate, when you are detained. Yes, I know they can zing you on whatever you said prior to the Miranda reading-and they can also lie about that.
*
I'm amazed at people who still think they have rights or that they can jailhouse lawyer their way out of things. Just like in life, honey gets you more flies than vinegar. Being polite and helpful can help you more often than dismissing the police as your enemy. Which, they are. Absolutely. You just can't ACT like that. All scumbags love themselves. If you point out that they are scumbags, they will react violently towards you. Okay, a guy is selling booze.
*
Are you going to blame him for all the evils of alcoholism? No. He is just earning a living. THAT right there is how lawyers and judges and cops think of themselves. They are innocent. Only the system is bad. They are just and good and want to make a difference. It is all BS, self-justification. They are jackbooted thugs directly responsible for killing people. But social interaction is all a lie. Lies are the only thing allowing us to exist alongside each other. Never tell someone the truth! Not in a social setting ( friends and family get White Lies, not blatant untruths ).
*
Now, getting back to this deluded lady that thought her cheap ass phone app had pinpoint accuracy who was convinced she had me dead to rights in possession of her phone, as I walked along in sweat pants holding nothing, much less a phone, I can't actually blame her for being upset. I'm not sure how anyone can spend the big bucks on a cell phone, but when they lose it or it is stolen, they can't exactly blame themselves for spending $600 on it, can they? So they lash out and seek someone else to blame.
*
Call the cops! My property was violated! I can see WHY she did so. But here is the thing. The cops do not care. They could give two craps. Why do you think I never reported the crackhead thefts at my property? Because one, what are they going to actually do? And two, they could give a crap. No motivation. Plus, I like staying off the radar as mush as I can. But mainly, they simply do not care unless it impacts them, their funding or their job security. That is what cell phone lady didn't understand.
*
The cop didn't truly harass me because it was a BS call. He went through the motions. He could afford to be polite and only ask superficial questions. Crime is all over the place and the cops are not going to waste resources. They must prioritize. Remember in 2009 or thereabouts when a big city got its funding cut and they put out a long list of crimes they would only respond to if they had the time? Like that but more subtle. It is like the Post Office. Congress won't allow them to cut services on Saturday, so I swear they have roving “no mail” days where they cut out neighborhoods to de facto save delivery costs. The cops might respond to every call, but many get short shift.
*
This is how crime increases and the police are able to keep up with and make the crime seem less obvious. The illusion of control is there. So, property crime goes through the roof and hardly anyone notices or cares. It is just business as usual. The police are NOT an obstruction to its growth. Now, surely, you don't still think of your possessions as being as safe as they used to be? Yeah, the above story is more interesting than useful, but I just had to share. That is why I hate going outside the compound. But it SOMEWHAT illustrates the trend in our lives. Unless you are a secret squirrel, burying all valuables far away, nothing you have is safe.
*
We go on endlessly about the dangers of bug out locations being unattended and apt to be broken into. I contend that nowadays, even your regular home is not safe. If it isn't the government with its Red Flag Laws, its probably soon to have anti-precious metal laws, its current cash seizure practices, then it's the practice of either encouraging or at least not discouraging property crime and theft. This is to say nothing of the increased natural disasters. In short, your home isn't a very good castle anymore. Are assets THAT much safer than funds in the bank?
*
I distrust banks. I hate the weasel twats. But if assets in your home are not anywhere near as safe as they used to be, aren't you to some degree FORCED to deal with the bankers, to diversify your savings? And, to clarify, I'm speaking of multi-years worth of savings, not the small amounts likely to be around the house. If you wish to have liquid assets, are there better bets than a 401k? Anyone can spend all their money on whatever is deemed safe. Gold, paintings, real estate. But an investment is NOT the same as savings. Continued tomorrow.

  1. If you were walking your dog, why would an unknown driver suspect you of having her cell phone? I missed something. How does a guy walking a dog -- a guy who hasn't had prior contact with said stranger -- even rouse suspicion by the loonie lady? Okay, the cops stop you. At that point I say, "I'm walking my dog and some lady stops and asks me for directions. Now how is it that I would possess her cell phone?" I missed something.

    Property crime -- In CA the legislature makes it a lucrative business when they pass laws that protect the criminals: "California’s Proposition 47 downgraded a variety of 'non-serious, nonviolent crimes' that had previously been considered felonies to misdemeanors. These include shoplifting, grand theft, receiving stolen property, forgery, fraud, and writing bad checks. As long as the total value of the stolen property is under $950, only a ghost of an offense has occurred. A thief may now steal something under that limit on a daily basis and it will never rise to felony status."

    The result? Stolen porch packages; regular car and house break ins. It's all on Ring Doorbell alerts and your local Nextdoor.com website, which kept me informed of all the robberies being shown on video by not just 'people of color,' but mostly people with hoodies and caps. When the people share their stories I tell them, "Uh, do you know anything about the politicians in Sacramento? Do you know they are responsible?" I'm okay until I say, "Democrats..." and then they scream at me for introducing politics into a friendly neighborhood site/app. They are fvucking stupid and I cannot stand it.

    California also lowered bail amounts. Knew that "liberals" in the Seventies were pro-criminal; Dirty Harry movies just confirmed it. Liberals and to a greater extent, Leftists, view criminals as victims......yada yada yada, you know this Jim so I won't belabor here.

    A side comment: The CIA started out as having a viable and important purpose. Not anymore. Time to fvck them up before it's too late. Cops? They will side with whomever is paying them to protect what they want protected, and for most of our lives that was the white, middle class's property, another target that liberals-now-leftists are working to reverse.

    Your suspicions are totally justified.

    1. I'm speculating that wife had husbands phone with an app that was tracking her phone, stolen the day previously. Her cover story was that she was looking for a house. She never accused me of being the phone thief. She kept playing with a phone while talking to me, which I'm guessing had the "tracking" moving around that neighborhood as we were talking. I'm thinking that app was not as accurate as advertised.

    2. Yep in fact for a bit I thought the lady was a crazy who'd stolen the phone - maybe off a table in a coffee shop or some such - was wandering the neighborhood looking for an empty house to squat in, and the copz were tracking the phone, and since the lady'd been near you, thought it was you, you sweatpants-wearing character.

      But yes, lots of people have these tracking apps, and phones do disappear in the blink of an eye. People train their kids to take 'em, for God's sake. Parents and kid go to a garage sale where the seller's got their coffee can of change, phone, maybe a glass of ice water, on their little table there, it's been a long morning and the seller is distracted by a parent asking about some doodad, while their kid swipes the phone. Sound far-fetched? This is what happened at a garage sale in the rurals when I lived down there.

  2. Just finished reading your essay. This lady is crazy but I love her:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dFVFJ0iRRA&list=PLPR5HRr62x94dnZ91VPtrfwwqLnFMlIPR

    Years ago I watched her talk about Jon Corzine and the economy and heard her say (for the first time,) "Take your savings and your equities and bonds and convert them to values that you have to guard with an AK-47. " She has a pink AK, and after she put bacon in a Koran and got a death threat from a Mohammadan, who she then gave directions to her house so she could test out her new ammo. He never showed up. Then she stopped paying the IRS and lived down by the river; and she was rich before that. Love this crazy woman.

    Well, I don't think my wealth is safe from bankers and politicians, and (excuse me for not knowing how the shark eats the smaller fish here) those sharks on Wall Street who profit when I lose everything. Is it safer with XXXXXXX Funds or buried in my yard. I don't have a yard; I sold my house.

    It isn't safe. The guy drilling my teeth keeps asking "Is it safe," then I start screaming in pain. "It's safe. It's safe," I say, and then he drills some more and I scream. Haha. Aesop aught to post that video.

    Gotta find a way to hedge here, Jim. Those fvckkers do it all of the time. So can we.

    1. Thanks for the video link-I need something new and different on YouTube to dazzle me. A lady down by the river with a pink AK should about do it.

    2. LOL.
      Just when I thought I had some thought or idea that EVEN you hadn't yet considered, I'm wrong. Like that phone app: I knew nothing about it. I just cannot keep up with you. Retired now, so I have too much time on my hands. Gotta figure out where I'm gonna move.

    3. Don't give me too much credit. I'm also ASSuming that they actually have an app like that. I don't do cell/smart phones. Hate the very concept of them.

  3. The safest place for my wallet is right here in my ass pocket. The safest place for me and my stuff is right here on the compound. I'm up a 6 every day, no alarm for more than 30 years, and I go horizontal about 11 and in between I'm normally all over this place and multiple firearms are never more than a few seconds away. The only time I feel unsafe is when I leave the compound so I rarely do. Out there, there is no protection. In here is the only true protection.

    I'm assuming you like in a city, with sidewalks, etc., since you mentioned "streets". Out here in ruralville we call em roads. If that's so, I don't know how you can stand it. Even way out here, when I hear a siren in the distance I get all up on the balls of my feet - fight or flight mode. Couple weeks ago a car went down the road with it's windows open and the asswipe driven was playing that boom chuck nonsense loud and my trigger finger started getting anxious. In a city I'd be bouncing off the walls. When I do our monthly purchasing about 3 hours away from the compound is my maximum limit. By 2 hours I am looking for the exit and by 3 hours I am leaving no matter what. Even the slightest amount of traffic congestion makes my blood pressure soar. Sometimes I wish I wasn't this way. But then I get back here to the estancia and everything is exactly as it should be - not an idiot in sight. Ahhhhh......

    1. I miss actual small towns, and I hate the people here. All the scum moved here and took it over. I try to only go out very early and stay here the rest of the time. Well, it's a trade-off.

    2. This is why I'll stick to cities. The rurals are full of meth-heads, crackheads, and scum. And they're all "nice white Christians".

      I dunno if you read Ferfal, of "Surviving In Argentina" fame, he was very popular in the early-mid 2000s. Mainly because he got into lots of luscious detail about his everyday carry items and firearms, but he also had some very good practical info on real breakdown of society conditions. He tried for years to get into the US, and finally smartened up and went to Ireland where he lives in a small/medium sized city. Ferfal pointed out that the most heinous raids happened to rural places because with neighbors far away (and in the US they'd not necessarily be friendly) the baddies could torture and dig around to their hearts' content. And indeed, I saw this happen when I was out in the rurals, a guy given to bragging about his guns etc was raided, tortured, and the bad guys got away with guns, vehicles, etc., and the whole incident wasn't known about until the guy got loose of his bindings and staggered next door, and luckily the nextdoor neighbor helped the bloody, unrecognizable being which turned out to be his neighbor... This all happened a street over from where I was, living on the place of a guy also given to bragging about his guns and precious metals...

    3. Modern Mayberry is nice. Drops in population a few hundred people from one census to the next. Sad part is when company comes to visit, there's not really a lot to show 'em. "So here are some cows. And over there are more cows. And that's corn. OH! Have you ever seen a cow?"

    4. re:
      earthquake vehicles

      Around here, we call them 'jungle drums'.
      Fortunately, their operators are easy to sneak on... they are quite deaf.
      Unfortunately, Eugene Oregon is probably ninety-five-percent Caucasian, so the jungle-drummers are Caucasian.
      I blame soy. And televisionprogramming.

      And I blame decent hard-working folks slipping into slum-talk such as 'po-po' in an effort to be relevant to jungle-drummers.
      Unfortunately, the jungle-drummers can't read... and can't hear you.

      The other reason they are easy to sneak up... they wear hoods.
      Tunnel-vision.

      On a related note, WesternRifleShooters has those all-inclusive all-religions bumper-stickers for Molotov cocktails, baseball bats, and vats of boiling oil to pour on trespassers trying to violate your castle.
