Whatever else I might be, first and foremost I'm a scientist. I didn't have time to do good research for a while there, but I don't think I'll ever stop being a light weapons geek. I've been getting into the groove again a little bit recently with the acquisition of a translated Soviet RPG technical manual, and it felt great.

Get the new site up and going and I'll probably finish that antiaircraft missile thread that was started so long ago.

  Battlefield S02E02 - The Battle of the Atlantic https://youtu.be/n8d8B7TOFt8

daniel gallery's book "clear the decks" covers the topic somewhat

>Bad weather? Difficulty in operating airplanes out of Greenland? Difficulty in building air bases there?

Pretty much. Greenland was used more as a layover stop for ferry flights to the UK. It was easier to operate from Iceland, which had a big city and was also closer to the UK, and aircraft there could range further towards Norway and so on.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland_in_World_War_II
>Greenland played an important role in North Atlantic air traffic during the war, but the island's role as a major base for anti-submarine warfare assets was hampered by adverse weather, winter darkness, and difficult logistics. For a long period, a flight of six PBY Catalinas of VP-6(CG) was maintained at Bluie West One, carrying out a great variety of missions.

We need jesus. I kinda want a penis wind chime.

I would actually give that a try but I have no sculpting ability. My sister got all the art genes but I feel like this would be a really odd request.

If you know someone who could do it then maybe we could get a small group buy going.

Don't bother now. We are so fucked by default that there's no chance for you to know how deep the rabbit hole gets, what is the backdoor and what is a patch for it.

>adopted GPS tracking and listening devices instead of regular phones
Individually it hasn't been changed too much, the technology gets cheaper and more common, and this is the only difference. The problem is manpower, of course, qualified specialists capable of doing the effective and failsafe surveillance job - you are going to get less of them because of dwindling educational standards. On the other hand, corporation management think they will be able to control all the people with "big data" they receive, if they just going to mine as much as possible. I can't wait for this overgrown hyperstructure to fall down on their own heads.

>how long before it comes to america?
You're 15 years late to ask this question.

  This movie was one of my favourite ones in my coming of age years. It was almost prosthetic by many aspects of it.

Modern surveillance is at least two generations past what you can observe in this movie, and the devices that are displayed here are probably available at some black markets already, because modern commercial GPS trackers are just short of flash memory drive in size.

Gene Hackman was in a 1974 mystery thriller film written, produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola called The Conversation and it is regarded as a prequel to the 1998 film Enemy of the State, which also stars Gene Hackman as co-protagonist. Hackman's character in Enemy of the State closely resembles Caul: he dons the same translucent raincoat and his workshop is nearly identical to Caul's. Enemy of the State also includes a scene which is highly similar to The Conversation's opening surveillance scene in San Francisco's Union Square.

"The Conversation" (1974) Trailer - Francis Ford Coppola, Gene Hackman https://youtu.be/6TMT8t-NUW8
The Conversation is a 1974 American psychological thriller film written, produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Gene Hackman with supporting roles by John Cazale, Allen Garfield, Cindy Williams, Frederic Forrest, Harrison Ford, Teri Garr and Robert Duvall. Nominated for three Academy Awards®, including Best Picture (1974), Harry Caul (Hackman) is a respected but less-than-perfect surveillance expert who is wracked with self-doubt and carrying a heavy conscience since his work led to the death of two of his subjects. So when he comes to believe that his latest assignment - eavesdropping on a pair of young lovers - may end in murder, Harry can no longer avoid confronting the moral consequences of his chosen profession. Also featuring John Cazale (The Godfather Trilogy), Teri Garr (Dick, Mr. Mom, Tootsie) and Harrison Ford (K-19, Indiana Jones, Star Wars) in a cast of favourites, THE CONVERSATION is a tightly gripping big-screen classic that is not to be missed!

Eh. Syrian regime is pretty secular for the region. Don't get me wrong, they've done some evil things, but I don't think exporting Jihadis is one of them. We were pretty tight with them prior to the revolution because of how staunchly anti-Al Qaeda they are.

>>111473
we get taught in school as little kids that the puritans left england to escape religious persecution, but when you read the diaries and letters of the pilgrims all that they write is stuff like
>this place is awesome i can farm without paying rent
>no fucking sherrif
>as much free land as the eye can see
they don't talk about their dislike of catholics and they don't come off as terribly religious people, in their own words the the describe themselves as economic refugees

The Mayflower pilgrims nearly had their boat sunk when one of them let their child unattended with access to firearms

The 5th day, we, through God's mercy, escaped a great danger by the foolishness of a boy, one of Francis Billington's sons, who, in his father's absence, had got gunpowder and had shot a piece or two, and made squibs, and there being a fowling-piece charged in his father's cabin, shot her off in the cabin; there being a little barrel of powder half full, scattered in and about the cabin, the fire being within four feed of the bed between the decks, and many flints and iron things about the cabin, and many people about the fire, and yet, by God's mercy, no harm done.

When you look at the actual historic record, "the pilgrims were persecuted" is as much a myth as "Christians are the most persecuted group in America" or "the Soviet Union was the only country that fought Nazi Germany" is today. They were motivated more by taxes than religion, and found a ready welcome in the Netherlands after leaving England, but refused to learn Dutch or to integrate into the local communities and again didn't want to pay taxes. They thought the Dutch were too liberal and feared that their children would become "overly westernized" (to use a modern term) if they stayed. And once in America, they often violently attacked and even murdered any other Christians who refused to follow their beliefs. (During the revolutionary war, one of Benedict Arnold's reasons for turning traitor was the alliance with Catholic France)

All the terrorist attacks in Europe and North America in the past decade have happened in countries that oppose Assad. Assad, and Putin, directly benefit from terrorism in Europe because it destabilizes their enemies and terrorizes people who oppose them. The USSR was "officially" anti-racist but they were covertly supporting a good number of KKK groups during the cold war because racial disunity worked in their interests, likewise now it's turned out they're running a bunch of similar groups in the US via facebook, and have likewise tried to co-opt BLM and similar movements (I say "tried" because apparently blacks are better at spotting Russian plants) in the interest of causing political disunity in the US.

Just look at how much the shills on here crow whenever there's a attack. They love it. But if it's in Russia? "oh no, this doesn't represent all Muslims, as an American we need to listen to Putin's speeches about how Islam is a religion of peace"

sigh. i don't blame the cop for shooting the guy, he reached behind i would have shot him as well, i think he was a little too panicked in his fire but eh. like some one said they fucked up with the directives, to complex too many. i agree with this ruling but im glad he no longer is police officer. i expect the family to win the suit against the city though the police in general fucked this one up.

The only "blue lives" that matter are the ones who crushed the white trash slaver's rebellion.

The guy who did the shooting isn't the one giving the commands
>get a call about a man pointing a gun a people at a hotel.
>other people in the room
They were operating under these circumstances. So I understand them going in hot.
>Sgt. giving contradictory commands to a guy who's obviously drunk off his ass
This is where the problems start
>Telling the drunk guy to start crawling towards you
...what? Why not do it like a felony stop (youtube it)? Way safer and keeps your guys out of his room's doorway (what they were trying to avoid).

Instead, they put him in the situation where he was reaching at his waist that got him shot. The Sgt. giving the commands should be the one in hot water.

All I've really got to say about it is 1) if I'm not mistaken, the dust cover inscription wasn't considered by the jury, though it did help get him fired on internal policy grounds.

On an tangent, Scott Smith's performance as mayor is precisely why I didn't vote him for governor back in 2014. I'm not impressed by someone who spends a fuckton of federal pork and bond hikes on bullshit like the Riverview and a stadium that the Cubs or even the fucking Sun Devils don't even use. That's after already wasting millions of dollars on Fiesta Mall which is now an giant in-door inner city strip mall and a good chunk of the area where the small businesses and actual neighborhood are is like pre-Arpaio central Phoenix.

The original sanctuary city bullshit in Maricopa County wasn't with Greg Stanton's weasel-wording around the time Trump got elected. Say what you will about Arpaio, but the instant a Village-Voice owned rag like the New Times which isn't even fit to be hobo toilet paper praises someone like Jorge Gascon, you know he's fucking crooked. It should surprise absolutely no one that he ended up moving back to California and continuing his bullshit there for a while before Gavin Newsom tapped him to replace Kamala Harris after she became a senator.

After he left in 2009 the department went though like four chiefs of police before the current one.

Cool, now reference that with this recently released CIA manual on Psychological Warfare in Guerilla Warfare:
