This Costolo bloke is just bloviating a lot of bluster. He is a twit trying to sound important and it just comes across is a lot of vapid drivel.

Here is the correct quote from Douglas Adams - Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetic Corporation as "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes,” So, we see that Silicon Valley and their cohorts are "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the when the revolution (Civil War2) comes".

That's about as far away from Seattle as they can go and still be in USA. Now if only those Dem idiots don't get elected maybe Boeing will get a LT benefit from the move.

You should know this but this thread is a good place for reminder-

Boeing will move all 787 production from the Seattle area (looting mobs, etc.) to South Carolina.
The woke Gov of Washington State cannot figure out why.

Not necessarily we all go down together. The leftists go down completely with no hope of rebounding. we can rebound

sign me up. As it looks today, its 50-50 that we get 4 more years. Might have to go underground after a few months if Biden wins

It seems to me this Costolo idiot has watched too many episodes of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," too many times, where "The Guide" referred to the programmers at the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as "a bunch of mindless jerks who were first up against the wall when the revolution came." People who are so obsessed with SciFi that that is all they know are pathetic. But, in case they actually do gain power, that's exactly why we have the Second Amendment; that's what the bullets are for.

Who is John Galt? I know. I am John Galt.

"And we all go down together"

I searched for 20 years and could not find a place that was acceptable. I am preparing to leave (again.)

Give me 4 years to get better prepared, please. Maybe enough of us will finally see what I have known (for 25 years) and create a real Gulch.

That is my concern as well. For years (probably after my first AS reading) I have said I want to buy and island and the only people who are allowed to accompany me are people who can produce. Unfortunately, there is probably not a place on the earth left where freedom can reign.

The conservative move away from Socialist cities is developing now. A few of the conservative States may try to hold on and hold out but I fear we are less than a generation away from overthrow and a Leftist police state. Finding a "Gulch" may be very difficult.

What seems the height of stupidity to me is to listen to millionaire oligarchs, who became rich thanks to a capitalist society, suddenly become passionate about the righteousness of socialism. However, sadly, it isn't stupidity, but obsessive greed. Despite their wealth, these greedy pigs are convinced they're in danger if they don't squelch the mechanisms of upward mobility. They don't want competition. It's as simple as that.

The fools are obviously not students of the history of socialist movements. Many of the various existing aristocracy of failing nations that slide into socialism have tried to join with "the movement," thinking they will be among the privileged survivors, only to find they are determined to be enemies of the state, because they actually earned their wealth, which must be confiscated and distributed to the righteous architects of the hierarchy of the revolution. Ironically it's those like Costolo who will find themselves against the wall when the real socialist come into power.

One should not forget the power of living free in plain sight

I read somewhere that societies last about 250 years on the average. We had our run.

The left IS violent, and there will be violence to be sure. We just have to be vigilant and armed. Maybe move away from the inner cities and definitely away from entitled black neighborhoods into black lives matter stuff

You are totally on point. If we dont lose in 2020, we will certain lose in 2024+. The country is intellectually bankrupt, and I doubt this can be reversed prior to a complete collapse. AS was a blueprint of what happens when collectivism takes over.

The deep state can take our wealth, and their weapons far exceed what our handguns and even AR-15's can do. But, the deep state needs our productivity, and we can withhold that and cause their system to fail, as in AS.

Time to GO-GALT. What can I say

IMO, Costolo is a 10-96.
I had to know the police 10-code when I worked at the prison.
That was so inmates around you would not know what you were talking about or listening to on a hand radio save for saying "10-4." Everyone has seen "Smoky And The Bandit."
A 10-98 meant a prison escape which I never heard used. I've had to pop a warning shot one time to keep one of those from happening during my 21-year career.
Used a lot was "I'm 10-84 to your twenty (10-20).." That means, "I'm on my way to your location."
10-96 means "a mental person" as it is listed in print but that usually meant "I have a nut-case on my hands."

Many Americans are not like German Jews.
They are well armed and capable of using their weapons against enemies domestic.
Will those weapons be enough against the deep state's chemical and nerve weapons?

Totally agree.
My 'golden years' seem like they are turning into a schift show.
The 2A may be the only recourse we have to keeping this nation free.
So be it. I've had a long and full life.

I have been thinking that myself. I get mad at myself thinking it's fatalism but I can't shake the feeling that the world, as we know it is in a downward spiral that we cannot pull out of. Even if we get 4 more years of President Trump, that's all we'll get. The left have their tentacles in now and they will never let go.

Fatalism? Or the new realty? Scary to me, in any event.
