Dispatch 12: Return to America: Portland -- No Police, No Peace Write a comment Details Published: Monday, 28 September 2020 15:22 My sense after a week back in America: here in Portland, BLM/ANTIFA and other far-left factions are strong for limited action, but their life-force is being sapped. They seem to sense they are losing ground. They say so, even on the microphone on stage. There is no action at all tonight -- not that I saw, anyway.

Dispatch 6: Return to America: War Brewing Write a comment Details Published: Thursday, 24 September 2020 20:50 The situation grows. A quick, unedited stream of consciousness so I can keep studying: Yesterday violence spiked in numerous towns such as Louisville, Seattle, and Portland. Latest violence is not caused by any specific case such as the tragedy of Breonna. Dry forest. Any spark. We've got 'fireworks' flying 24/7. Forest getting drier.

Dispatch 5: Return to America: Guns & Ammo in Vancouver, Washington Write a comment Details Published: Wednesday, 23 September 2020 19:09 Quick update: Visited a gun-store yesterday. There were density limits so we waited in a line of three people outside while others shopped. While we waited, this apparent Marine surplus vehicle arrived. I do not know the specific nomenclature. There are endless types and always changing. I did not ride in this type in Iraq or Afghanistan. Read more: Dispatch 5: Return to America: Guns & Ammo in Vancouver, Washington

Dispatch 4: Return to America: Ammo at Cabela’s, and more observations Write a comment Details Published: Tuesday, 22 September 2020 21:29 A friend and I spent the afternoon of my third day back in America tooling around Vancouver, and into northern Oregon. In the outlying areas, if I did not already know there is a ‘hurricane,’ I would not have sensed anything off other than tiny clues. It’s been years since I was in Portland/Vancouver. I have no baseline. I’ve lived a couple years on the West Coast. School here twice such as in San Francisco, and so I am familiar with the vibe and I always loved West Coast in general — other than some obvious ‘anomalies’. (This also is old stomping ground of Gary the Cannibal whom I tracked down in India.) Read more: Dispatch 4: Return to America: Ammo at Cabela’s, and more observations
