Paranoid?

 

A running joke with blogger LL  (https://www.virtualmirage.org/) is getting a bunk near the stove at the re-education camp. He wants a top bunk.

The picture is of a Japanese-American internment camp located at Granada, CO. I’ve visited the site and nothing is left now. Not far away is the Army’s Pinion Canyon Maneuver Area. Sorry, need to give you the co-ordinates as I can’t seem to screen shot Google Earth.

37° 29’41.03”N    104°09”14.21"W

My late son was a 4th Infantry Division Medic and trained there several times. He told me, tucked away, are rows of empty barracks behind stout fences. You will note from Google Earth the site has excellent rail service (BNSF Main Line) and a paved State Highway. Interstate 25 is nearby as is US 287 which runs from the Gulf in Texas into Montana.

So, WSF, what is causing your paranoia?  My stat counter, and my internet service. On a good month I get around 300-600 hits. My recent political posts have 3,000+ hits. My internet service has slowed to a crawl. Downloads are terribly slow, like minutes for “conservative” sites.

I use AVG and Malwarebytes to keep my computer safe. For years I’ve had no problems and now I do. Their scans show nothing. I also use Boost which usually speeds things up. Not now. Is someone spying on me? If so, who?

I doubt anyone in this building is able to hack my WiFi. I’ve used the same one at my old address and haven’t had a problem.

So, if I am being monitored, will you please see my sister gets Banner? He has nothing to do with my political views.

Remember: just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they are not watching you.

True and even paranoids have enemies.

Don't you think that your dossier with the FBI will be enough? Maybe it is a good idea to keep it up to date. Banner is always welcome at my home.

Back in the paper file era, Karen and mine combined was 5" thick. Digital age? Megabytes or Gigabytes? Good to know Banner has a place to go.

A long time friend of my wife was three years old when his family was sent to one of the internment camps. Which one escapes me just now.

I went to high school in Tulelake, CA. The chief of police had been a guard at that camp. Our high school counselor had worked there.

I mentioned before that I was stationed in (West) Germany. While there, my buddy and I made it a point to walk the grounds of Dachau.

You are not paranoid. The bastards will do it to us if they get the chance. Might be wise to keep those mags loaded and the boards on the windows a bit longer.

Combat Engineer Hanau 64-66. Visited Dachau - chilling. Spent a lot of time on the border where we prepared ADM sites. Many sites so more targets for Ivan to worry about. Not far from Glenhausen was a house partially in the East Zone. Weird to see. On one occasion rode in a convoy into and back out of Berlin. Having seen socialism up close, I want nothing to do with it.

Hey, I'm supposed to get the bunk close to the stove... And I'm pretty sure we're on the 'same' lists...

You and LL have many readers. Other than the government, me not so much. You are both worth "turning". An old fart like me will be shot while attempting to escape.

We will rescue Banner when you get reeducated, WSF.

Thank you!
