Let’s perform a little thought experiment today. I apologize that this will involve some math. Believe me, I got a headache doing it, so bear with me as I regale you with my Quadrivium training (Reasoning with Numbers).
Imagine a sphere with a radius of 150 yards, with the center point located on a roof (dangerously sloped of course). The sphere represents everything within the field of view of a shooter, and the radius is the distance of the target from the center point.
Let’s convert that into a circumference (C) measured in feet (ft) (metric fans, you’re on your own): The Herbal Remedies & ... Best Price: $13.79 Buy New $19.77 (as of 04:32 UTC - Details)
1 yard=3 ft, so thus 150 yards=150×3=450 ft
Now, C=2π×450, thus C=900π, with π≈3.14159
C≈900×3.14159=2827.43 ft
At this point, we can project a 6-foot tall man onto the known circumference of our circle, at a distance of 450 ft. This becomes a simple ratio that is expressed in degrees of angular size relative to the circumference. This yields an apparent angular size of 0.764 degrees of the total circumference.
To covert the angular size to inches, we imagine a 12-inch ruler held 12 inches from our collective eye. This approximates the rifle sight. This involves some trigonometry, which I barely passed, so I have my bottle of aspirin at the ready:
Convert angle to radians: 0.764×(π/180)=0.01334 radians. Then we apply the formula h=12×tan(0.01334). This gives us the result of 0.1601 inch, or 5/32 of an inch.
To visualize what this looks like to someone using iron sights, a 6-foot tall man 150 yards away would be about as tall as a stack of 31 (thirty-one) sheets of 80# printer paper viewed edge on. Now factor in wind speed, drag and ballistic arc (more trig, ugh), which I steadfastly refuse to do, and you can appreciate the skill, not to mention exceptional eyesight, required by our hypothetical shooter to clip the ear of a hypothetical target that is roughly equal to the thickness of a single sheet of printer paper (the head). The chest of a human male is three times wider than the head, so why not go for the chest shot, which is somewhat easier.
And don’t forget that dangerously sloped roof that not even a wheelchair could fall off of!
I have gone through this exercise because so many commentators are saying things like, “Oh, for a good shooter, this is an easy shot;” or “This is doable with iron sights” (for non-shooters, “iron sights” means no scope). As a young’un, I was a competitive shooter (i.e. native Texan), and I would find a target at 50 yards with iron sights a challenge. It’s also important that rational folks like us maintain a sharp focus on facts and not be distracted by all the other noise designed to keep us from thinking clearly.
Everything we are seeing in the US right now is a scripted plan, probably instigated at least since the 2020 election. As I mentioned in a previous screed, the idea from the beginning was to take out both front-runners in the Presidential race, between the end of the primary cycle and the conventions, in order to create maximum chaos and subvert the electoral process. This would allow the “elites” to insert their preferred cut-outs without having to go through all that boring selection process, or follow those annoying laws and regulations.
The problem is, Trump didn’t get dead.
With no back-up plan, the Bumbledicks are forced to run with their script, trying to retrofit the existing situation into their Evil Plan for Global Domination (EPGD). Even though Trump got the Buckethead Nomination, they have to continue with the EPGD, and so they’ve executed a Palace Coup, much like the way Nikita Khrushchev was taken out in 1964, which confirms our theory that we are rhyming the 1960s.
We must also assume that they will not stop trying to rid themselves of the Trump Problem, until at least the moment he is sworn in. Raging Twenties: Great... Best Price: $22.73 Buy New $15.71 (as of 06:31 UTC - Details)
We should emphasize that nothing we see or hear in the GeezerMedia is true…nothing. It is all meant to obfuscate, distract and confuse the uncritical masses. The waves of new crises, events and narradigms are being used to keep public discourse constantly moving from one topic to another, so no one can focus too closely on anything. It is entirely up to use to continue gnawing the bone until we’ve sucked out all the marrow.
As further proof that we are following a script, witness the rapid pivot from Biden to Harris. Within 24 hours, a letter of questionable provenance appeared on TwiX, ostensibly tendering Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 campaign. Harris was immediately swapped out, and by Monday afternoon, she was said to have united a critical mass of delegates, as well as taken control of campaign funding to the tune of US$91 million. The latter has been pitched as being the greatest donation haul in US campaign history, but really it’s just stolen…er, repurposed funds that don’t represent new donations from breathless Dembots forking over their hard-earned shekels.
Furthermore, the GeezerMedia is pulling their old Hillary Trick of publishing “polls” that show Harris already taking a lead over Trump. Keep in mind many of these “polls” use the same questionable IPSOS data, massaged a half-dozen different ways to squeeze a predetermined result out of the same old turnip. Download the data and play with it yourself. Your results will be just a valid.
