Does Anybody Trust Them?
Name these two armored vehicles. One an AFV, the other a Tank.
The clues are just screaming out at you.
Victuals in Nelson’s Navy – All About Cheese
The Royal Navy produced much of the food it needed on its own farms, which were under the Navy Victuals Board. This included cheese, which was high on the ration lists and often given out to the men on board. However, one could not expect high-quality cheese here. Three types of cheese were therefore produced.
Suffolk cheese Made from skimmed cow’s milk, this fillet cheese, also called Suffolk Bang, was not even touched by Samuel Pepys’ servants. In the 18th century, it was so frowned upon that there was even a saying that not even hunger could get it down, it was considered bland and too hard. It was therefore not surprising that this cheese was used at sea as fish food rather than for consumption.
Sailors would chum with the cheese and catch the fish that came with net or hook and line.
Cheshire cheese In 1758, as a response to numerous complaints about the generally poor quality of Suffolk cheese, the navy decided to switch to the Cheshire and Gloucester varieties, although these did not keep as long as hard Navy Cheese and were more expensive. The whole milk version of Cheshire cheese was quite dry, crumbly, and slightly salty, but richer in fat and more nutritious.
Gloucester cheese Most of the Gloucester cheeses issued to the navy were probably plain Gloucester cheeses, similar to Suffolk cheese but generally considered softer and tastier. However, this cheese was more likely to find its way into the officers’ wardroom than the ordinary sailors. Rank has its privileges, never more so than in the Navy.

LAPD – Once Great
(Link) The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) tweeted a release Tuesday advising city residents to “cooperate and comply” when being robbed.
It’s not your daddy’s Adam 12 or Dragnet anymore.
“Due to an increase in violent street robberies, Robbery-Homicide Division has become aware of an ongoing crime trend of follow-home robberies. Suspects have been locating victims in Los Angeles, following them, and then committing the robberies as the victim arrives home or at their business. … These crimes have occurred throughout the City of Los Angles as well as neighboring cities. Different suspects have been identified and arrested for these types of crimes.”
Point five on the release says, “If you are being robbed, do not resist the robbery suspects; cooperate and comply with their demands. Be a good witness.”
Apparently, gun control is working as intended. Criminals have guns (the courts won’t prosecute them) and citizens do not.

Second: AMX-13 VCI (not a tank per se but an armored personal carrier variant of the AMX-13)
Yes!
The cheese. Now I’m going to be thinking about Paxton and Whitfield on Jermyn St. the rest of the day. I don’t suppose they were a supplier.

I can’t say. Maybe?

And the non criminal citizen with a firearm, especially if used in self defense?
I assume this is the sermonette I await?
They say: “It’s never been more dangerous for the unvaccinated than now”.
The danger is not from the ChiVi, the danger is from your government.
Yup…and I’m pushing the narrative our government is using Covid as a distraction cult, brainwashing and fear-mongering to force compliance. They have followed every cult principle to a T. Those of us “in the fold” aren’t buying any of their evil preaching.
I didn’t do a sermonette today, Ed. This will have to suffice.
Nope, don’t trust Big Gov *at all*. I’m at the point where I only trust (certain) people I know, and the people they trust.
As an Old Retired Guy, I’m probably low on the list the Stormtroopers have.
Not familiar with English cheeses, but thanks for the history lesson.
“Be A Good Witness” can easily turn into being a dead witness. Dead Men Tell No Tales.
One country – Denmark??? – while under Nazi control, was told to report any suspicious Jew behavior and/or paraphernalia. So, in the spirit of things, everyone reported everyone….just to keep the Nazis busy.
They also hid the Jews inside the Carlsberg bottle at the Copenhagen plant.
I am SO glad I live in flyover country… And that winged Athena looks like it is done in plaster, with amazing detail for the time!
Winged Athena…
LOVE.
Then there’s the FBI. Wow.
DHS was an obvious Goon Squad / Graft Factory from the get-go.
-Kle.
I agree about the LAPD advice re follow-home robbers. DO NOT RESIST.
SHOOT THEM DRT. Then again, just for insurance.
Then, DO NOT talk to the police. Call your lawyer.
And…..DO NOT talk to the police.
It is the only way to stop the spread by the superspreaders.
