Putin Gets Into the Act
Not to be upstaged by our Commie Obama Hat, Comrade Putin decided to mock our dear leader with a Hammer and Sickle of his own (GP):

Lithuania Surrenders UPDATED and BUMPED
[orig pub 1.19.15]
Lithuania has acknowledged that history will indeed repeat itself.
Recent history (wiki):
Lithuania is one of the three Baltic states that the Putin redistributionists have their eye on. Like all tyrants who are incapable of creating wealth at home, Putin is anxious to expand his empire to acquire territory and wealth from others. Think ObamaCare on a grander scale.
Lithuania's leaders see what is coming. One just has to look at the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the impotence of the US to understand the new world order.
The Lithuanians published a pamphlet with instructions on what to do when the Russians come.
It might as well be a signed surrender.
The Moscow Times: Lithuania's War Manual to Prepare Citizens for Russian Invasion
UPDATED and BUMPED 2.24.15:
Today's news: Lithuania to reinstate conscription amid Russia fears
So which is it? Stay in your homes when the Russians are shooting in the streets? Or defend your country?
If I were a Lithuanian citizen, I'd want to see a cost-benefit-analysis of what it would take to arm and train every willing and able citizen. I'd start with a quality battle rifle, 10,000 rounds of ammunition, several days of marksmanship and small-unit training, and generous stockpiles of anti-tank and anti-personnel mines within communities.

The Moscow Times: Lithuania's War Manual to Prepare Citizens for Russian Invasion
Lithuania is publishing a manual to advise its citizens on how to survive a war on its soil as the country's Defense Minister warn its Russian neighbor "is not friendly."I'll just leave these comments and suggestions here:
"Keep a sound mind, don't panic and don't lose clear thinking," the manual explains. "Gunshots just outside your window are not the end of the world."
The manual, which the Defense Ministry will send to libraries next week and also distribute at army events, says Lithuanians should resist foreign occupation with demonstrations and strikes, "or at least doing your job worse than usual."
You can't stop the Russian army. You can fight to the death. You can make them pay for every inch of territory. You can put arms into the hands of every citizen. You have time to train. You can do things today that will make Lithuania the less optimal target in the region for redistribution. Hint: it is not printing a pamphlet.
Since we're talking about history repeating itself, let's remember that in the 60 days between the Soviets entering Berlin and the Allies, over one million rapes occurred in that WWII city of 1.5 million. Lithuania has 3 million citizens.
Gunshots outside your window DO signal the end of the world. If gunshots are not coming from your window, you are already a slave. Or worse.
Lithuanians should not demonstrate, strike, or drag their feet at work. They should apply the lessons from the Winter War in Finland, where the Soviets lost 10x the Finns and were eventually turned away. Best told in Trotter's fantastic book, A Frozen Hell. My book notes.

Old Media Tribute #5
On February 10th NBC suspended top anchor Brian Williams for six months without pay.
I collected over 60 meme images mocking Brian Williams’ lying and, by extension, the loss of credibility within the old media.
I will post one of these images every three days until his suspension is over. . . and trust is restored.

What Happens In the USSR. . .
. . .Should stay in the USSR.
I met with a very high-level blogger from IOTW a few days ago. A well placed hand grenade would have set the conservative (aka resistance) movement back by decades. But luckily,liberals progressives communists throw like girls. ATRS:
So the comrade and I finalized the plans for 2016 to get --redacted-- elected with only a 100 vote margin in the battleground state --redacted--, and we part ways. I head towards the Mandalay Bay parking structure and am faced with this 25 foot remnant from Cold Wars gone by.
Here is a close up of the sign. The statue stands next to a vodka bar called Red Square.
Look, I get it. Communism is coming to the States. Trust me, I know. And the idea man behind this bar must be a smart fella, because he knows alcoholism quickly follows the establishment of a worker's paradise. But can we take one step at a time? We've barely started the civil unrest stage.
Am I asking too much?

Why I Like Obama
If it hadn't been for our pot-smoking, coke-snort'in, kobe beef-eating, communist-inspired, on-the-job-training president, I would not have the friends I have today.
I would have walked away from Ushanka years ago and enjoyed things like liberty, selecting a health care plan from within a competitive environment, bouncing from job to job until I found something challenging, and many other independent endeavors.
I had the honor to join comrade Aaron Clarey, the Captain of Capitalism, at his 40th birthday party in Vegas this past weekend. He had friends from before his blogging days, fellow bloggers and members of the manosphere there. All fans of the Captain, aka "Cappy Caps."
The birthday boy, myself and Davis Aurini.
I'm just kidding. I don't like Obama.

Black Tide Rising - A Zombie Series
The reason I've been scarce these past few months has been a four-book series called Black Tide Rising. I've added this series to my Best Zombie Books post - always linked in the Library section to the left.
Under a Graveyard Sky is book #1 by John Ringo. Here is his Amazon page.
Fun, Fun, Fun!
The pages will turn themselves and you will not be disappointed! Imagine a family of four, including two teenage daughters - who were brought up right. Imagine some suspicious occurrences and a heightened sense of survival.
Naked Zombies! But they are still alive!
They chase lasers, just like kittens.
They screw.
And daughter #2, little Miss Faith, sets a new standard for killing Zombies.
The series has a nautical theme, as the family escapes to the Atlantic. Then they find survivors. Then they organize. Then they start to rebuild human civilization.
An excellent series, and I don't think it ends at book #4.
Enjoy!

Book Review: The Black Man's Guide Out of Poverty
Book Review: The Black Man's Guide Out of Poverty, by Aaron Clarey. 195 pages. February 2015.
Before I share my thoughts on Clarey's latest book, a few points. First, this author who advises black men on their escape from poverty is white. Midwest pasty white. Minnesota white. Second, he is a fellow cigar-smoking comrade. We share a Midwest upbringing. And more recently, we both participated in the 2008 banking disaster. Where we differ: he comes from divorced parents, and is both wifeless and childless.
The Black Man's Guide Out of Poverty is a natural extension of Clarey's last two books (listed in the Library to the left) and his work on YouTube. He is a prolific advice giver. And while there are exceptions to nearly all his recommendations, his advice is solid, based on both his experiences and observations, and supported by data when available. Above all, it is selfless.
My first reaction to The Black Man's Guide Out of Poverty was the absence of so much noise. In other words, it is so focused the reader may subconsciously add examples or tangents. I caught myself doing this, and in every case it was that pop-culture, political and media noise that has overwhelmed the advice industry. If this happens to you, do not mistake it for author oversight. Clarey's focus is his strength, and those who read this book will be better for it.
He opens the book with the problem. Specifically, ghetto culture and the crabs-in-the-bucket environment that leads to so many wasted lives. He tells his reader to face reality and provides the tools to catch the lies, the traps, and the hidden agendas. He describes the "self-fulfilling prophecy" of "immobilization, defeatism and debilitation."
I'd guess the author would call this an apolitical book, yet he links the challenges facing fatherless black men to Johnson's Great Society and to the entitlement and dependency policies of today's Democrat Party. He doesn't preach. He doesn't promote the Republican Party. He doesn't bad-mouth the Democrat Party beyond linking them to this mess. Maybe that'll be his next book...
He discusses Tribalism in Chapter 3. This is a great chapter about the genetic impulse to be a member of a tribe. The author suggests black men break away from this natural instinct, as the current "ghetto tribe" is a trap of "fatherless children determining the rules of the tribe." He lists common traits for "Acting White" and "Acting Black," then asks the reader which set of traits they'd rather be associated with. Chapter 3 is full of tough love, telling the reader the problem and how he can escape. He even explains the different stages a black man will experience as he makes his escape.
One expected flaw of a white author dispensing advice to black men would be the author telling the reader what he would want. No book on this subject would be complete without discussing Affirmative Action. The white perspective, if I may, is that all job applicants should be treated equal. I would guess Clarey would agree with this, but his role as the author of The Black Man's Guide Out of Poverty is to advise black men. He does discuss Affirmative Action and encourages the reader to take advantage of it. As Clarey explains, "I'm recommending every LEGAL (not moral) way" to succeed.
Another expected shortcoming in a book like this would be some bland, equivocal noise disguised as advice. You've read such garbage before, where you finish and wonder what the author really meant. Well, not here. If you haven't read Clarey's other books, beware of the author's opinions on women, education and parenting. Not a single word is wasted in defining standards in these areas. I do the wave when I read Clarey's expectations of parents, for example. He sets the highest standard.
I disagree with Clarey's advice to men to put a "stash" aside prior to marriage and in case of divorce. If the reader follows the author's advice in selecting a future wife, it is my opinion then that there should be no reason to do anything dishonest. No doubt this advice comes from his research, and no doubt it would have helped others.
The Black Man's Guide Out of Poverty isn't for all black men. It is written for the black man who has an open mind and cares deeply about living his life to its full potential.
I highly recommend The Black Man's Guide Out of Poverty to all young men, regardless of race, who want to learn from other people's mistakes rather than make those mistakes themselves.

Where we differ: he comes from divorced parents, and is both wifeless and childless.
Q: So how come he thinks he can give career, family, parenting and education advice to black men?
A: Only those unfamiliar with his existing body of work would ask such a stupid question. Or they have an agenda.
