Here at T.Rex Arms we recommend getting involved in local politics. Which leads to the questions "How do I get involved in local politics?" and "Why should I get involved in local politics?"

Three Categories of Radio Communication Mar 23, 2022

Show notes

Due to popular demand, another comms episode! This should be helpful in determining what kinds of capabilities you want to build in one of these three categories:

Open Communication
Private Communication
Secret Communication

And here is a link to a bonus homework assignment: FEMA's DHS radio interoperability course is interesting to read: IS-951

The Unpredictable Backlash against Russia Mar 15, 2022

Show notes

The entire world has now bravely tweeted out Ukranian flag emojis in noble support, and selflessly poured out Russian vodkas in righteous indignation. The internet's reaction to a tragic war has, for the most part, been predictably laughable. And yet, a lot of these emotional kneejerk reactions could have serious long-term effects...

Practical Lessons from Ukraine Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

We are far from having a clear picture of the geopolitical wrangling surrounding the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, and the livestreamed video of the conflict doesn't actually clarify things much yet. However, it does provide us with a very interesting picture of citizens, militias, and light infantry pushing back against a hostile force. So, let's talk about the need to have:

Guns and Ammo
Intel Gathering Tools
Intel Dissemination Tools
Access Denial
Tools and Raw Materials
Water and Food
Medical Supplies
Transport Capability
Shelter
Money

And, as promised, some links to the TV shows Servant of the People and Yes Prime Minister.

In Memory of P.J. O'Rourke Feb 22, 2022

Show notes

P.J. O'Rourke was one of the best journalists of the 20th Century; a master of clear, concise, well-structured communication. What better way to honor his memory than a rambling, long, and completely unplanned livestream talking about some of his best work? Isaac describes what made him stand apart, and what T.REX folks can learn from him.

Starting Conversations about the Second Amendment Feb 15, 2022

Show notes

Over the last couple of years, there have been a record number of guns purchased by the American public, and a shockingly large percentage of those were purchased by first time gun owners. While we can appreciate those folks being better equipped to physically defend themselves, they may not be ideologically able to defend their right to do so. How can we bring them along to a deeper understanding and appreciation for what the Second Amendment really means?

Deplatforming Platforms Feb 08, 2022

Show notes

This was a big week in the ongoing discussion about the regulation and control of large social media platforms that regularly de-platform their customers that they disagree with. All kinds of kerfuffle related to Spotify, Patreon, and GoFundMe has ensued, and a lot of stuff has happened as a result.
FYI, I completely misspoke and called the crowdfunding site givesendgo.com GiveSendMe, for some reason. My apologies!
