360 Degrees of CZ 600: CZ-USA’s Complete Rifle Series

@media (max-width:576px) { .read-more-content { height: 810em; } }

It’s a lot easier to say CZ instead of Ceska Zbrojovka so that’s what we Americans do when referring to this major arms manufacturer based in the Czech Republic. If you’re not familiar with CZ, they are the largest small arms manufacturing facility in the world, occupying some 16 acres in the Moravian city of Uhersky Brod. The factory was started in 1936 with production starting a year later, making machine guns for aircraft in preparation for war with Nazi Germany. The company grew by leaps and bounds over the coming decades, producing all types of military and sporting arms.

CZ 600 Series Rifles

But prior to 1989 and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, then Czechoslovakia was an Iron Curtain country and therefore its products could not be imported into to the United States. In other words, they had a late start here in America, but they sure have made up for it since! Today, CZ markets it military and sporting arms to more than 90 countries and employs more than 2,000 people.

How The Sausage is Made

Last year marked CZ’s 85th anniversary, and to celebrate the occasion a new line of sporting rifles was launched to replace the Mauser-type 500-Series that served the company so well for so long. Dubbed the 600 Series, the new line consists of five models: Alpha, Ergo, Trail, Lux and Range. Almost predictably, the new line is based on the tri-lug system, which has been adopted by at least nine other European-based, bolt-action rifle manufacturers and by Ruger, Winchester and Thompson-Center here with the American, XPR and Venture lines, respectively.

The CZ 600 Series Ergo rifle.
CZ 600 Ergo

This system employs a bolt with three non-projecting locking lugs oriented on 120-degree centers. It requires only a 60- rather than 90-degree bolt rotation (handle lift), and no raceways are needed in the receiver to accommodate projecting locking lugs (the receiver can be a simple tube). It’s a system that can greatly simplify production resulting in a very affordable end product, but not all tri-lug systems are budget class. Though this new generation of CZs is what I would describe as being just one step above budget class price-wise, they machine their receivers from solid steel billets, which is not the most economical way to produce a rifle.

Multiple Barrel Lengths & Chamberings

The 600 receivers come in three lengths. the Mini is scaled to the .223/5.56mm; the Medium to the .308 family and the Long for standard-length cartridges like the .30-06 and .300 Win Mag. Moreover, there are two types of receivers. The Alpha, Ergo and Trail models are of aluminum with integral Weaver-type mounting rails while the Range and Lux models are of steel and accommodate Remington 700 mount systems. The Short’s bolt has one row of three locking lugs, the Medium and Long bolts sport two rows of three, but all lock up within the barrel, not the receiver ring. The latter feature allows an easy change of calibers within a given receiver size by virtue of barrel/bolt head interchangeability.

The barrel shank is smooth and is slip-fit to the receiver, which is essentially a massive C-clamp that tightens around the barrel by three transverse machine bolts. Bolt heads can be swapped, so you can switch from, say, a .308 Win to a 6.5 PRC, or a .30-06 to a .300 Win Mag.

The CZ 600 Series Trail rifle.

Controlled-Round Feed System

One of several innovative features is the ejection system. What looks to be a plunger-type ejector button in the lower quadrant of the bolt face, isn’t. With the Remington 700-type plunger system we’re all familiar with, the button protrudes from the bolt face under strong spring pressure and is compressed only when the bolt is closed on a chambered cartridge or spent case. As the bolt is withdrawn and when the mouth of a spent case (or the nose of a loaded round) clears the front wall of the ejection port, the pressure against the case head by the plunger ejects the case. But because the ejector button is always protruding from the bolt face, it precludes controlled round feeding because the rim of the feeding cartridge can’t slide upwards against the bolt face as it clears the magazine feed rails—the plunger is in the way.

The 600, however, achieves controlled-round feeding by combining a recessed plunger with Mauser-type inertia ejection. Instead of a static ejector blade contacting the case head through a slot in the bolt face to kick it free of the port al-a Mauser, the plunger makes contact with a button as the bolt reaches within a quarter inch or so of being fully withdrawn. It’s the inertia of the rearward-moving case being rudely met by a static stop button that throws the empty clear. And like all inertia systems, easing the bolt rearward to just short of activating the ejector allows case or cartridge to be plucked from the port manually. On the right side of the receiver just in front of bolt handle is the bolt stop/release that also serves as a safety bypass that allows the action to be cycled with the safety engaged.

Digging Deeper

Another strong feature is the 600’s detachable magazine. First off, it’s a unitized polycarbonate with integral feed lips that stores cartridges in a staggered row to maximize vertical space. The result is a five-round capacity for standard cartridges, three for magnums, yet the box fits flush with the belly of the stock. Charging the mag is effortless, as rounds are simply pushed downward through the feed lips; no need to slide them rearward under the lips. Other advantages are that the magazine can be charged from above through the ejection port — something that can’t be said for a lot of rifles with DMs. And by sliding the release button forward, this magazine can be locked in place, precluding accidental disgorgement. This is a unique feature.

The CZ 600 Series Alpha rifle.
CZ 600 Alpha

Other noteworthy features are found in the patented fire control system. The safety consists of a steel rod serrated at both ends that slides vertically within a shaft at the rear of the receiver. In “fire” mode, this button projects below from behind the triggerguard bow. Pushed upward, it now projects from the tang above engaging the safety. It’s very ergonomic and silent in operation.

Adjustable Trigger & Sub-Moa Guarantee

The user-adjustable trigger has four tension settings that can be changed without removing the barreled action from the stock. A small round button just ahead of the trigger in the ceiling of the guard bow is rotated with a small Allen key to one of four detent positions indicated by one, two, three and four dots spaced 90 degrees apart. Rotate the one dot position to the witness line and you’ve got about a 2.5-pound pull; four dots around 4 pounds.

For all but the Trail model, barrel lengths are determined by caliber, and all come with threaded muzzles and thread protectors. The Alpha, Lux and Ergo models are guaranteed to shoot sub-MOA three-shot groups at 100 meters; the Range is guaranteed to shoot sub-.75 MOA five-shot groups, and the Trail 2 MOA. All accuracy testing was established with match-grade factory ammo.

The CZ 600 Series Range rifle.
CZ 600 Range

Of the five models comprising this new 600 series, I found the Ergo and Trail models most interesting. The Lux, with its Bavarian-style humpback comb, schnabel forend and fish scale grip panels is obviously styled to European taste. The heavy barrel and adjustable stock make the Range model CZ a nod to the long-range crowd.

A Ballistic Sneak Peak

As a representative of Athlon Outdoors’ Ballistic magazine, I had the opportunity to shoot all five of these new rifles as one of a small group of American gun writers invited to the factory for the launching of the line. However, we were but five among about 35 other writers and editors in attendance from around the world. In other words, it was a very important event! After a very professional presentation of the new line by the CZ folks, we were all bussed to a luxurious gun club where we had the shooting range all to ourselves.

Like I said, I found the Ergo and Trail models to be the most interesting, but unfortunately the Ergo will not be available here until next year. However, that didn’t stop me from using one chambered in .308 Win on a Mouflon hunt that was arranged for the American contingent after the conclusion of the seminar.

The CZ 600 Series Trail rifle.
CZ 600 Trail

The Trail is a most radical iteration of the Model 600 in that its 16.2-inch barreled action sits in an AR-style aluminum chassis—a “lower” if you will—that accepts AR grips and magazines. The telescoping buttstock has a length-of-pull range of 5.5 to 13.6 inches, and when fully compressed the overall length of the Trail is just 27.2 inches. It comes in only two chamberings, .223 Rem and 7.62×39 and it weighs a mere 6.2 pounds. It is one cool little gun!

On The Hunt

As for the Mouflon hunt, we had only 1-1/2 days hunting out of elevated stands (hochsitz) situated at the edge of open fields. The animals—wild boar, Mouflon, red and roe deer were free ranging, i.e., no fences, but they were fed, so the results are pretty much the same. That’s how they do it in Europe. Less than an hour on-stand a small band of Mouflon emerged from the forest. One of the rams, a young one, was badly crippled and could barely walk. My jaeger and hunting ethics both demanded I dispatch the suffering animal, which I did. The other four guys shot beautiful rams.

The author made a killing shot on the hunt with a CZ 600 series rifle.

Having filled my license, I had nothing better to do on day two but sit in the same hochsitz and see what I could see. About a half an hour before dusk a herd of red deer came into the open not more than 150 yards from me. I counted 40 of them and not a single hind to be seen! They were all stags and about 10 of `em were high Silver or Gold Medal. I’ve hunted red stag in six European countries and in Argentina and I’ve never seen anything like it. It was an incredible experience.

Bottom line: This new CZ 600 is one helluva nice rifle offering enough innovative features to set it apart from so many other tri-bolts on the market today. And they are surprisingly affordable with MSRPs starting at $749 for the Alpha; $849 for the Lux; $1,155 for the Trail, and $1,199 for the Range. For more information, visit at cz-usa.com.

AUCTION: 50 CZ & Colt Tribute to Legends Special Edition Pistol Sets

@media (max-width:576px) { .read-more-content { height: 480em; } }

Colt and CZ just partnered up on a pretty incredible promotion. Derived from the historic merger of the two iconic brands into one company in 2021, the CZ &
Colt Tribute to Legends pistols offer 50 matched pairs unlike any others.

CZ & Colt Tribute to Legends

The limited edition Tribute to Legends pistols are available at auction via NFT right to purchase tokens. The auction lasts through April 27. At press time, current bids for the right to purchase hovered around $3,000 Euros, or about $3,300. Then if you win the auction, the limited edition pair command another 20,000 Euro, coming in around $22,000.

So yeah, these pistols command some hefty pennies to be sure. But you won’t find another Colt 1911 or CZ 75, two of the most iconic pistols of all time, anywhere like them. The Tribute to Legends edition serial number range runs includes COLT2021001 to COLT2021050 for the Colt 1911 and CZ2021001 to CZ2021050 for the CZ 75. The serial number nomenclature refers to the year of the Colt-CZ merger. Each corresponding magazine also features the same unique serial number engraved on its gold-plated base plate.

The “Right to Purchase” tokens auction creates vouchers for the right to purchase a specific pistol. These digital assets, backed by blockchain technology, make them unique. This protects against duplications, allowing consumers to trade them safety on the Colt CZ Group marketplace. Three sets with the serial numbers COLT2021002, COLT2021009 and COLT2021013, and CZ 75 CZ2021002, CZ2021009 and CZ2021013 are currently at auction.

The Colt CZ Group plans to auction each set of pistols separately. Bidders may bid on the serial numbers of their choice and any number of NFT tokens. Once bidders win the auction to reserve their serial number, the physical pistols are then sold separately to the bidder. The voucher and pistol purchase cost remain independent of one another.

These pistols are truly special. If you have the coin, don’t delay and get in the game for this unique NFT opportunity: Tribute to Legends.

The Colt 1911 and CZ 75 pistols come in a presentation case with certificate.

Censorship: TikTok Will Silence Those Who Challenge The Ruling Class On “Climate Change”

Climate change is a hot topic right now. Many are beginning to figure out that the “man-made” climate change we are being blamed for is a tactic of war being used to control us. Because humanity is waking up to this gigantic scam, TikTok must silence those who call the world’s ruling classes out.

Dane Wigington: The Geoengineering Kill Switch Has Been Activated

TikTok will begin censoring all videos that dispute the ruler’s claim that man-made climate change is going to kill us all unless we become physical slaves in addition to the mental slavery they’ve already got most locked into.

According to a report by Summit News, the censorship changes will go into effect on April 21st to “celebrate” Earth Day. The social media giant will crack down on “misinformation” (information harmful to powerful interests) about climate change and elevate “authoritative information” (information amplified by powerful interests invested in pushing the man-made climate change hoax).

Is The World Waking Up To The Climate Change Scam?

The company announced its new censorship policy in a blog post which said the goal was about “driving sustainability awareness” (brainwashing people to be hysterically afraid of the ‘climate crisis’ ending all life on earth so they will willingly accept the chains of their own oppression).

“Denying the existence of climate change or the factors that contribute to it” will lead to videos being “fact-checked” by biased organizations that routinely pose as front groups for the environmentalist lobby and governments (the masters).  Information that will be censored includes any claim that “undermines well-established scientific consensus” (despite the fact that the entire premise of “science” is that it’s constantly evolving due to new ideas and criticism of old dogma).

TikTok said it believes it has an “important role to play in empowering informed climate discussions,” that role being to silence anyone who challenges prevailing mainstream narratives and ban their accounts.

The video platform will push, “Several initiatives that will help reduce harmful climate change misinformation while elevating authoritative information year-round,” states the post. -Natural News

The new scheme will represent yet another effort by TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, to appease Western governments’ demand for more censorship. “They’re obviously just copying these policies straight from Google/YouTube,” writes Chris Menahan.

“As a Chinese company, TikTok is responding to “market incentives,” which in this case is the U.S. government threatening to ban them entirely.”

RESTRICT Act Is Orwellian Censorship Grab Disguised As Anti-TikTok Legislation

The Dunegan Tapes Reveal The Workings of the Minds of the Psychopaths Planning a “New System”

This article was originally published by Rhoda Wilson at The Daily Exposé.

Sinister plans revealed in 1969 describe the implementation of a “New System.”  When the new system takes over people will be expected to sign allegiance to it, indicating that they don’t have any reservations or holding back to the old system. “There just won’t be any room for people who won’t go along. We can’t have such people cluttering up the place so such people would be taken to special places,” Dr. Richard Day said.

The above is from the transcripts of ‘The Dunegan Tapes’ – the recollections of Dr. Lawrence Dunegan about a lecture given by Dr. Day in 1969 describing the existence, scope, and direction of a conspiracy against humanity.

A few days ago, we published an article that included extracts from Tape 1 of The Dunegan Tapes.  Although we listed the topics covered in Tape 2 at the end, we didn’t provide any details.  Below we follow on from that article with extracts from Tape 2.

To find out more about the contents of The Dunegan Tapes, you can visit ‘The Revelations of Dr. Richard Day’, an extremely well-documented WordPress blog entirely dedicated to this subject, where you can explore the numerous topics allegedly discussed by Dr. Day in his 1969 lecture

The following are extracts from the Transcript of The Dunegan Tapes, Tape 2.  You can read the full transcripts of Tapes 1 to 3 HERE.

No More Security

Nothing is permanent. Streets would be rerouted and renamed. Areas you had not seen in a while would become unfamiliar. Among other things, this would contribute to older people feeling that it was time to move on, people would feel they couldn’t even keep up with the changes in areas that were once familiar.

Vacant buildings would be allowed to stand empty and deteriorate, and streets would be allowed to deteriorate in certain localities. The purpose of this was to provide the jungle, the depressed atmosphere for the unfit. Somewhere in this same connection, Dr. Day mentioned that buildings and bridges would be made so that they would collapse after a while, there would be more accidents involving airplanes and railroads, and automobiles. All of this contributes to the feeling of insecurity, that nothing was safe.

Crime Used to Manage Society

There would be the created slums and other areas well maintained. Those people able to leave the slums for better areas then would learn to better appreciate the importance of human accomplishment. This meant that if they left the jungle and came to civilization, so to speak, they could be proud of their own accomplishments that they made it. There was no related sympathy for those who were left behind in the jungle of drugs and deteriorating neighborhoods. Then a statement that was kind of surprising: “We think we can effectively limit crime to the slum areas, so it won’t be spread heavily into better areas.” Dr.Day went on to say that increased security would be needed in better areas. That would mean more police and better-coordinated police efforts.

Curtailment of American Industrial Pre-Eminence

The stated plan was that different parts of the world would be assigned different roles of industry and commerce in a unified global system – global interdependence. The continued pre-eminence of the United States and the relative independence and self-sufficiency of the United States would have to be changed. This was one of the several times where he said in order to create a new structure, you first have to tear down the old, and American industry was one example of that.

Things would be made so they would break and fall apart, that is in the United States. So that people would tend to prefer the imported variety and this would give a bit of a boost to foreign competitors. Your patriotism about buying American would soon give way to practicality that if you bought Japanese, German or imported that it would last longer and you would be better off. Patriotism would go down the drain then.

The United States was to be kept strong in information, communications, high technology, education, and agriculture. The United States was seen as continuing to be sort of the keystone of this global system.  But heavy industry would be transported out.

Shifting Populations and Economies – Tearing the Social Roots

And along this line there were talks about people losing their jobs as a result of industry and opportunities for retraining, and particularly population shifts would be brought about. As you take away industry and jobs and relocate people then this is a strategy to break down conservatism. When you take away industry and people are unemployed and poor they will accept whatever change seems to offer them survival and their morals and their commitment to things will all give way to survival. “That’s not my philosophy, that’s the speaker’s [Dr. Day’s] philosophy,” Dr. Lawrence said.

Some heavy industry would remain, just enough to maintain a sort of seedbed of industrial skills which could be expanded if the plan didn’t work out as it was intended.  But this was just sort of a contingency plan. It was hoped and expected that the worldwide specialization would be carried on.

With this global interdependence, national identities would tend to be de-emphasized. Each area depended on every other area for one or another element of its life. We would all become citizens of the world rather than citizens of any one country.

Sports as a Tool of Social Change

Sports in the United States were to be changed, in part as a way of de-emphasizing nationalism.  Soccer, a worldwide sport, was to be emphasized and pushed in the United States.

Soccer is seen as an international sport and would be promoted and the traditional sport of American baseball would be de-emphasized and possibly eliminated because it might be seen as too American. It wasn’t said definitely this would have to happen, but if the international flavor didn’t come around rapidly enough this could be done.

There was some comment along the same lines about football, although Dr. Lawrence seemed to recall Dr. Day said football would be harder to dismantle because it was so widely played in colleges as well as in the professional leagues and would be harder to tear down.

Hockey had more of an international flavor and would be emphasized. There was some foreseeable international competition in hockey and particularly soccer.

But soccer was to be the keystone of athletics because it is already a worldwide sport in South America, Europe, and parts of Asia and the United States should get on the bandwagon. All this would foster international competition so that we would all become citizens of the world to a greater extent than citizens of our own narrow nations.

Gun Control

I don’t remember the details much, Dr. Lawrence said, but the idea is that gun ownership is a privilege and not everybody should have guns.

Hunting was an inadequate excuse for owning guns and everybody should be restricted in gun ownership. The few privileged people who should be allowed to hunt could maybe rent or borrow a gun from official quarters rather than own their own. After all, everybody doesn’t have a need for a gun, is the way it was put.

Eliminating Femininity, Baby Dolls, and Tea Sets

Very important in sports was sports for girls. Athletics would be pushed for girls. This was intended to replace dolls. Baby dolls would still be around, a few of them, but you would not see the number and variety of dolls. Dolls would not be pushed because girls should not be thinking about babies and reproduction. Girls should be out on the athletic field just as the boys are. Girls and boys really don’t need to be all that different. Tea sets were to go the way of dolls, and all these things that traditionally were thought of as feminine would be de-emphasized as girls got into more masculine pursuits.

All of this is to change the role model of what young girls should look to be. While she’s growing up, she should look to be an athlete rather than to look forward to being a mother.

Sex and Violence Inculcated Through Entertainment

Movies would gradually be made more explicit as regards sex and language. All of this is intended to bring sex out in the open. That was another comment that was made several times, the term “sex out in the open.”

Violence would be made more graphic. This was intended to desensitize people to violence. There might need to be a time when people would witness real violence and be a part of it. So, there would be more realistic violence in entertainment which would make it easier for people to adjust. People’s attitudes toward death would change. People would not be so fearful of it but more accepting of it, and they would not be so aghast at the sight of dead people or injured people. We don’t need to have a genteel population paralyzed by what they might see. People would just learn to say, well I don’t want that to happen to me. This was the first statement suggesting that the plan includes numerous human casualties which the survivors would see.

Music Will Get Worse

Music will get worse. In 1969 Rock music was getting more and more unpleasant. Lyrics would become more openly sexual. No new sugary romantic music would be publicized like that which had been written before that time.

Entertainment as a Tool to Change the Young

Dr. Day went on to say that the music would carry a message to the young and nobody would even know the message was there they would just think it was loud music. It won’t change the older people, they are already set in their ways, but the changes would all be aimed at the young who are in their formative years.

Travel Restrictions and Implanted ID

Travel, instead of being easy for old folks, travel then would become very restricted. People would need permission to travel and they would need a good reason to travel. If you didn’t have a good reason for your travel, you would not be allowed to travel, and everyone would need ID. This would at first be an ID card you would carry on your person and you must show it when you are asked for it. It was already planned that later on some sort of device would be developed to be implanted under the skin that would be coded specifically to identify the individual.

Food Control

Food supplies would come under tight control. If population growth didn’t slow down, food shortages could be created in a hurry and people would realize the dangers of overpopulation. Ultimately, whether the population slows down or not the food supply is to be brought under centralized control so that people would have enough to be well-nourished but they would not have enough to support any fugitive from the new system. In other words, if you had a friend or relative who didn’t sign on, growing one’s own food would be outlawed. If you persist in illegal activities like growing your own food, then you’re a criminal.

Weather Control

Dr. Day said: “We can or soon will be able to control the weather.” He said, “I’m not merely referring to dropping iodide crystals into the clouds to precipitate rain that’s already there, but REAL control.” And the weather was seen as a weapon of war, a weapon of influencing public policy. It could make rain or withhold rain in order to influence certain areas and bring them under your control.

Dr. Day said: “On the one hand you can make drought during the growing season so that nothing will grow, and on the other hand you can make for very heavy rains during harvest season so the fields are too muddy to bring in the harvest, and indeed one might be able to do both.”

Politics

Dr. Day said that very few people really know how government really works. Something to the effect is that elected officials are influenced in ways that they don’t even realize and they carry out plans that have been made for them and they think that they are authors of the plans.  But actually, they are manipulated in ways they don’t understand.

Know How People Respond – Making Them Do What You Want

“People can carry in their minds and act upon two contradictory ideas at one time, provided that these two contradictory ideas are kept far enough apart.” – Dr. Richard Day, 20 March 1969, quoted by Dr. Lawrence Dunegan

“You can know pretty well how rational people are going to respond to certain circumstances or to certain information that they encounter. So, to determine the response you want you need only control the kind of data or information that they’re presented or the kinds of circumstance that they’re in, and being rational people, they’ll do what you want them to do. They may not fully understand what they’re doing or why.” – Dr. Richard Day, 20 March 1969, quoted by Dr. Lawrence Dunegan

Falsified Scientific Research

In this connection, Dr. Day admitted that some scientific research data could be – and indeed has been – falsified in order to bring about desired results. “People don’t ask the right questions. Some people are too trusting,” Dr. Day said.

On the Political Scene

Out of all of this was to come to the New International Governing Body, probably to come through the UN and with a World Court, but not necessarily through those structures.

Efforts would continue to give the United Nations increasing importance. People would be more and more used to the idea of relinquishing some national sovereignty. Economic interdependence would foster this goal from a peaceful standpoint. Avoidance of war would foster it from the standpoint of worrying about hostilities. It was recognized that doing it peaceably was better than doing it by war.

It was stated at this point that war is “obsolete.” Dr. Lawrence thought that was an interesting phrase because obsolete means something that once was seen as useful is no longer useful. But war is obsolete … this being because of the nuclear bombs war is no longer controllable. Formerly wars could be controlled, but if nuclear weapons would fall into the wrong hands there could be an unintended nuclear disaster. It was not stated who the “wrong hands” are.

Anyhow, the new system would be brought in, if not by peaceful cooperation – everybody willingly yielding national sovereignty -then by bringing the nation to the brink of nuclear war. And everybody would be so fearful as hysteria is created by the possibility of nuclear war that there would be a strong public outcry to negotiate a public peace and people would willingly give up national sovereignty in order to achieve peace, thereby this would bring in the New International Political System. “If there were too many people in the right places who resisted this, there might be a need to use one or two – possibly more – nuclear weapons.” As it was put, this would be possibly needed to convince people that “We mean business.” Dr. Day said: “By the time one or two of those went off then everybody – even the most reluctant – would yield.”

Another justification for war was expressed, if you think of the many millions of casualties in WWI and WWII, well… suppose all those people had not died but had continued to live, then continued to have babies. There would be millions upon millions and we would already be overpopulated, so those two great wars served a benign purpose in delaying overpopulation. But now there are technological means for the individual and governments to control overpopulation so in this regard war is obsolete. It’s no longer needed. And then again, it’s obsolete because nuclear weapons could destroy the whole universe. War, which once was controllable, could get out of control and so for these two reasons it’s now obsolete

Terrorism

Terrorism would be used widely in Europe and in other parts of the world. Terrorism at that time was thought would not be necessary in the United States. It could become necessary in the United States if the United States did not move rapidly enough into accepting the system.

Financial Control

Inflation is a tool of the controllers.

Money would become predominately credit. It was already … money is primarily a credit thing but the exchange of money would be not cash or palpable things but electronic credit signal. Any purchase of any significant amount would be done electronically. Earnings would be electronically entered into your account. It would be a single banking system. May have the appearance of being more than one but ultimately and basically it would be one single banking system.

Computer records can be kept on whatever it was you purchased so that if you were purchasing too much of any particular item and some official wanted to know what you were doing with your money they could go back and review your purchases and determine what you were buying.

The ability to save would be greatly curtailed. People would just not be able to save any considerable degree of wealth. Wealth represents power and wealth in the hands of a lot of people is not good for the people in charge so if you save too much you might be taxed. The more you save the higher rate of tax on your savings so your savings really could never get very far. And also, if you began to show a pattern of saving too much you might have your pay cut.

Electronic payments initially would all be based on different kinds of credit cards. Once they got used to that then it would be pointed out the advantage of having all of that combined into a single credit card, serving a single monetary system and then they won’t have to carry around all that plastic.

Surveillance, Implants, And Televisions That Watch You

So, the next step would be the single card and then the next step would be to replace the single card with a skin implant. The skin implant would be not losable or counterfeitable or transferrable to another person so you and your accounts would be identified without any possibility of error.

The skin implants would have to be put someplace that would be convenient to the skin; for example, your right hand or your forehead. “Now some of you people who read the Bible will attach significance to this to the Bible,” Dr. Day said. But he went on to disclaim any Biblical significance at all. This is just common sense of how the system could work and should work and there’s no need to read any superstitious Biblical principles into it.

There was some mention, also, of implants that would lend themselves to surveillance by providing radio signals. This could be under the skin or a dental implant … put in like a filling so that either fugitives or possibly other citizens could be identified by a certain frequency from his personal transmitter and could be located at any time or any place by any authority who wanted to find him.

There was more discussion of personal surveillance. One more thing Dr. Day said, “You’ll be watching television and somebody will be watching you at the same time at a central monitoring station.”

Also, the television set can be used to monitor what you are watching. People can tell what you’re watching on TV and how you’re reacting to what you’re watching. And you would not know that you were being watched while you were watching your television. How would we get people to accept these things in their homes? Well, people would buy them when they buy their own television. They won’t know that they’re on there at first.

There was some discussion of audio monitors, too, just in case the authorities wanted to hear what was going on in rooms other than where the television monitor was, and in regard to this the statement was made, “Any wire that went into your house, for example, your telephone wire, could be used this way.”

Home Ownership A Thing of The Past

Privately owned housing would become a thing of the past. The cost of housing and financing housing would gradually be made so high that most people couldn’t afford it. People who already owned their houses would be allowed to keep them but as years go by it would be more and more difficult for young people to buy a house.

Young people would more and more become renters, particularly in apartments or condominiums. More and more unsold houses would stand vacant. People just couldn’t buy them. People would not be able to buy these vacant homes and gradually more and more of the population would be forced into small apartments. Then as the number of real homeowners diminished they would become a minority. There would be no sympathy for them from the majority who dwelled in the apartments and then these homes could be taken by increased taxes or other regulations that would be detrimental to home ownership and would be acceptable to the majority.

Ultimately, people would be assigned where they would live and it would be common to have non-family members living with you. This would all be under the control of a central housing authority.

The Arrival of The Totalitarian Global System

When the new system takes over people will be expected to sign allegiance to it, indicating that they don’t have any reservations or holding back to the old system. “There just won’t be any room”, Dr. Day said, “for people who won’t go along. We can’t have such people cluttering up the place so such people would be taken to special places.” The inference Dr. Lawrence drew was that at these special places where they were taken, then they would not live very long. Somewhere in this vein, he said there would not be any martyrs – they would not be killed in such a way or disposed of in such a way that they could serve as inspiration to other people the way martyrs do. Rather, “People will just disappear.”

The bringing in of the new system, Dr. Day said, probably would occur on a weekend in the winter. Everything would shut down on Friday evening and Monday morning when everybody wakened there would be an announcement that the New System was in place.

The Chaos In Our Streets Is The Inevitable Result Of Decades Of Failed Liberal Policies


What did we think was going to happen?  We allowed liberals to run most of our major cities for decades, and now those cities have degenerated into drug-ridden, crime-infested hellholes.  Forty years ago, my elderly grandmother lived in one of those major cities, and she would take us on very long walks through the heart of her city without any concern for our safety whatsoever.  And that was because the city was safe.  But now everything has changed.  The worst areas of our largest cities now look like something out of a post-apocalyptic horror movie on a permanent basis, and the rest of the world is laughing at us.

Needless to say, we didn’t get here by accident.

What we are currently experiencing is the inevitable result of decades of liberal policies.  And when I use the term “liberal”, I am not just talking about Democrats.  I personally know some Republican politicians that pretend to be “conservative” to get votes, but in reality there is very little that sets them apart from the other party.

Over time, we have allowed our politicians and our courts to push traditional American values almost completely out of public life, and that includes our system of public education.

But that doesn’t mean that our kids aren’t being taught any values at all.  New “values” that are diametrically opposed to the old values are being relentlessly pushed on our children, and as a result the way that they view the world is being deeply warped.

Meanwhile, the quality of the education that our children are receiving has gone into the dumpster.  At this point, a very high percentage of U.S. kids cannot even read “at a basic level of comprehension”

About one in three children in the United States cannot read at a basic level of comprehension, according to a key national exam. The outcomes are particularly troubling for Black and Native American children, nearly half of whom score “below basic” by eighth grade.

“The kids can’t read — nobody wants to just say that,” said Kareem Weaver, an activist with the N.A.A.C.P. in Oakland, Calif., who has framed literacy as a civil rights issue and stars in a new documentary, “The Right to Read.”

Our system is producing vast numbers of young people that lack the skills necessary to function in society at even a very basic level, and they have also been endlessly indoctrinated to see the world from an extremely liberal point of view.

Of course the consequences have been absolutely horrific.

For example, just consider what has happened to the city of Philadelphia.  If Benjamin Franklin could see what has happened to his once great city, I am sure that it would make him want to vomit.

In the worst areas of Philadelphia, you literally need to watch every step that you take so that you won’t step on discarded drug needles, human feces or human blood

In this sort of an environment, anything that is not nailed down is likely to get stolen.

In fact, someone just stole approximately two million dimes from a Walmart parking lot in northeast Philadelphia…

Police are investigating after someone broke into a trailer containing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of dimes in Northeast Philadelphia.

The discovery was made around 6 a.m. Thursday in a Walmart parking lot on the 4300 block of Byberry Road.

Police on the scene say an estimated two million dimes, worth $200,000, were stolen. That’s an increase from an earlier estimate of one million dimes.

Philadelphia didn’t have to turn out this way.

But it has been run by liberals for ages.

The same thing has happened to Chicago.

Once upon a time, it was such a beautiful city, but they just kept electing one liberal after another.

In the most recent election, the citizens of Chicago kicked out Mayor Lori Lightfoot.

That was a good thing.

But then they replaced her with someone even more liberal.

Brandon Johnson is a “defund the police” advocate who wants to have “health professionals” respond to 911 calls

Johnson was the only candidate who did not support “hiring more police officers” or “filling the about 1,600 vacancies” in the Chicago Police Department, Block Club Chicago reported. Rather, he backs efforts to “dismantle systemic racism,” erase a database of gang members, and “have health professionals, not police, respond to crisis calls.”

When Lori Lightfoot took office, she had similar ideas, but obviously they didn’t work because the murder rate in Chicago went up about 40 percent during her tenure…

The incoming mayor’s crime platform is startlingly close to the current mayor’s. Lightfoot also took office as a progressive criminal justice reformer, saying in 2019 that the city must “go to neighborhoods and provide supports to community, not just with law enforcement.” In her failed reelection campaign this year, she emphasized providing “resources and services to address the root causes of violence” and employing mental health providers “to respond to 911 calls.”

The city’s homicide rate has jumped nearly 40 percent since Lightfoot took office in 2019, the watchdog group Wirepoints reported.

At this stage, the city of Chicago is a complete and total nightmare.

I don’t know how else to say it.

On Saturday night, hundreds of teens violently rampaged their way through the city…

Hundreds of teenagers flooded into Downtown Chicago on Saturday night, smashing car windows, trying to get into Millennium Park, and prompting a major police response. At least one person in a car was attacked.

Shots were fired near the corner of Madison and Michigan, and FOX 32 Chicago decided that it was unsafe to keep our news crew on the scene.

We have reaped what we have sown.

These kids are acting a certain way because they have been trained to view the world a certain way.

If they had been raised with different values, they could have turned out much differently.

Theft is another colossal problem in our major cities.

Do you remember the looting that we witnessed during the BLM riots a few years ago?

Well, at this point looting has become a way of life in some of our largest cities, and it is costing retailers billions upon billions of dollars every year.

And “progressive” district attorneys empower the looters by putting them back into the streets time after time

Progressive district attorneys in cities like Chicago, New York, Portland and California have also been blamed for effectively legalizing shoplifing with either not prosecuting thefts under $950, or letting criminals off with a slap on the wrist.

In New York City, 327 serial thieves have been “arrested and rearrested more than 6,000 times”

Nearly a third of all shoplifting arrests in New York City last year involved just 327 people, the police said. Collectively, they were arrested and rearrested more than 6,000 times, Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said. Some engage in shoplifting as a trade, while others are driven by addiction or mental illness; the police did not identify the 327 people in the analysis.

If law enforcement authorities would just get those 327 people off the streets for good, that would go a long way toward turning things around.

But they just won’t do it.

And so thieves will just go on looting.

And violent criminals will just go on hurting people.

On Saturday night, there was a mass shooting in Alabama that resulted in over 20 people getting shot

A high school football standout was among four killed in a mass shooting in small-town Alabama where more than 20 people were shot at a Sweet 16 celebration for the victim’s sister.

Phil Dowdell, a senior set to graduate in a matter of weeks, had been celebrating his sister Alexis’ birthday Saturday night at Mahogany Masterpiece dance studio in Dadeville when the first shots rang out following what police suspect was a fight.

My guess is that this mass shooting was probably committed by someone that has been arrested multiple times already.

As more information comes out, we’ll see if my hunch is correct or not.

Over and over again, horrible crimes are being committed by people that should have been put behind bars a long time ago.

But being tough on crime is simply not a priority for most of the people that are running our society.

However, if you are an Amish farmer that believe in traditional farming methods, you are likely to have armed federal agents show up at your door

Armed federal agents were used to threaten a traditional Amish farmer just 150 miles outside Washington, D.C., who does not use pesticides, fertilizer, or gas to run his farm.

So what was his great crime?

Well, it turns out that he was organizing “food clubs” where people could buy food that was grown in a traditional manner…

Miller has helped organize private food clubs where individuals can purchase produce, dairy, and meat from traditional farmers; the Department of Justice (DOJ) seems intent on stamping them out.

The feds don’t seem to care about the horrific crimes that are being openly committed in our major cities.

But if you threaten the profits of the big food corporations, they are going to crack down really hard.

We live in a society that has been turned completely upside down.

If we choose to stay on the path that we are currently on, things will not end well for us.

Sadly, liberal politicians in both parties just keep winning elections over and over again.

We have gotten to such a low point as a society because we deserve to be here, and hopefully we can get this country to wake up while there is still time to do so.

Best Fire Pistons You Can Count On In A Pinch

Today We Will Go Over An Incredible Fire-Making Tool, Fire Pistons

Fire Piston

When it comes to survival skills, making fire is one of the most important.

Fire gives us the ability to:

  • Keep warm and dry,
  • Cook food and sterilize water
  • Make signals during the day and at night

Humans also show a psychological boost from fires. This moral booster can help to increase your odds of surviving an emergency.

With all these benefits, it’s easy to see why we spend a lot of time (and money) to ensure we can always make a fire.

Today, there are hundreds of tools designed to ensure your fire-making skills. Tools range from survival lighters to solar mirrors.

They each have their benefits and drawbacks. Some firestarters are better suited to certain situations than others.

Most experienced adventurers plan on carrying at least two different firestarters. A primary and a backup, just in case.

But what did people do before all our modern technology made fire so simple?

Our ancestors didn’t have access to mass-produced plastic lighters. They also didn’t carry boxes of waterproof matches or have Ferro rods.

So if your primary source of fire is a bow drill, what can you carry for backup?

A fire piston is a smart option.

Here’s an awesome video showing a slow-motion fire piston in a transparent cylinder:

What Is A Fire Piston? 

The fire piston is a proven fire-starting device that’s been around for hundreds of years.

It is also referred to as a fire syringe or a slam rod fire starter.

Fire pistons use the fundamental laws of physics to heat and ignite a small piece of tinder. A small piece of tinder can light a tinder bundle or fine kindling to start a fire.

The design is simple – there are only two parts!

  1. a hollowed-out cylinder
  2. and a piston rod

The first is a hollow cylinder with a smooth interior and one sealed air-tight end.

The cylinder size can range from a few inches in length and less than 1/2” wide to the size of a bicycle tire pump.

The second part is a piston rod that’s a fraction smaller in diameter than the cylinder. It’s also about an inch longer.

The piston rod includes a small cavity for the tinder to sit. It also has an airtight O-ring seal on one end and a comfortable handle on the opposite end.

These parts can be made out of nearly any material. However, metal and plastic are the most common nowadays. That’s because they allow for incredibly smooth surfaces.

Smooth surfaces are essential for a very tight seal between the two parts. The piston rod must be tight to the cylinder walls to prevent air from escaping.

This tight tolerance between the cylinder and the rod is what creates the magic of the fire piston.

How Fire Pistons Workfire piston lite ember

A fire piston works on the principle of the Ideal Gas Law.

If this sounds familiar, it’s because you heard about it in high school chemistry or physics class.

The Ideal Gas Law defines the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature.

The basic premise is this:

For a given amount of a gas (i.e., air), quickly compressing it to a smaller volume results in a dramatic increase in both pressure and temperature.

In the case of a fire piston, this can result in a spike in the air temperature of over 400deg F.

Plenty of heat to instantly ignite a fine piece of tinder without a spark!

If this seems far-fetched, it’s not. It’s the same law of physics that allows diesel engines to work.

↓ How To Use A Fire Piston ↓

How To Use A Fire Piston

Using the fire piston is simple in concept but takes some practice to master.

↓ Black Scout Tutorials – The Fire Piston ↓

First, take the time to create a nest of tinder and small kindling.

This is where you’ll put the ember produced by the piston once it’s lit.

So make sure it’s easy to reach and have all the fire fuel at the ready before you begin.

There’s nothing worse than running out of fuel just as your fire starts to take off.

Next, place a small amount of tinder in the cavity on the front of the piston.

Don’t pack it in there, as it needs exposure to air to heat and combust. If you pack it too tightly, it’ leaves no room for air to comingle with the tinder.

Start the piston into the cylinder, but don’t compress it too far. Just enough to hold it in place should be fine.

Brace the cylinder against a solid object and grab the handle end of the piston.

Now, quickly push the piston in, compressing the air and (hopefully) lighting your tinder.

Once you’ve compressed the air, it’s important to quickly get it out of the cylinder.

The tinder needs immediate fresh air – before the oxygen is consumed and the ember dies out.

So as soon as the piston reaches the bottom of the cylinder, pull it back out just as rapidly.

So in and out FAST!

Now work quickly to transfer the tiny ember on the piston’s end into the fine tinder’s nest. Once it’s transferred, gently fan it (or blow on it) to encourage the flames to grow.

If you’re successful, work your way up to larger kindling and fuel to build a roaring fire.

Practice all these motions until they’re smooth and consistent. Soon you’ll master it and increase your efficiency and success.

Best Tinders To Use With A Fire Piston

While the fire piston can reach high temperatures, it can only maintain them for a very short time.

This means that easily lit tinders work best.

Fine cotton and dryer lint both combust with ease. However, they burn too quickly and produce no usable embers.

By contrast, char cloth and fine bark fibers light with ease.

And this tinder burns more slowly and allows you time to remove the ember from the piston and use it to start a fire.

You can make char cloth by burning denim or cotton cloth in a closed metal container with limited oxygen.

I use a metal breath mint container with a pinhole vent.

How To Make A Fire Piston At Home

Like most tools in this world, you CAN do it yourself if you have enough ingenuity, skill, and patience.

They’re fairly simple tools to build once you understand the principles behind them.

It also doesn’t have to cost much money (but it will cost some “time”).

Final Thoughts

Nothing is going to replace a survival lighter as a primary firestarter. Sorry, it’s just too cheap, easy to use, and readily available.

But I must admit a fire piston is an exciting and reliable way to start a fire!

It does take practice to master, which I found both fun and challenging.

I like the durability of the build and the lack of moving parts.

There are no batteries and no fuel to run out. This means it’s a fantastic long-term option that doesn’t rely on modern technology.

For most people, it’s an ideal backup firestarter. And for anyone into survival or self-reliance, it’s an excellent primary firestarter.

All in all, the fire piston is worth checking out. Can you ever have TOO MANY ways to make a fire? I don’t think so.
