Named after A naval Commander, the theory was that two dissimilar metals will adhere to each other under extreme pressures. Thompson used this theory and listed it as the method of operation in his patents. In reality though the Blisch effect doesn't exist as would later be proven and observed. the design still proved successful and reliable despite this, and while it was designed as " Blisch lock" design. It turns out it was just another straight blow back design firing from an open blt. The Blisch effect has no bearing on it's operation in reality. The idea was this Blisch effect would temporarily lock the bolt closed against the barrel until chamber pressure dropped for the effect to cease. Luckily for Thomson the design worked on the proven blowback operation principles and the only thing holding the bolt closed while being fried is rthe heavy recoil spring. less

The question is purely about the ethical basis of doxing people because someone disagrees with them and especially by a journalist.Is being doxing by a journalist harassment and inciting violence in and of itself? Was Alan McEwen wrong to do it and should he face consequences and does it detract from him being an ethical and responsible journalist?

If that isn't a big tell about what we can expect you are not paying attention people! He will sell us out in a heartbeat if it suits his purpose. He will continue to kiss the a** of Putin and suck up to him in every way possible and throw his own people under the bus. He will continue to take to Twitter and be the petulant immature little boy he can't seem to shake off. He is what he is and this is what people voted for. This creature. This embarrassment. This clown. Good God! What comes next and will we survive it or him? Trump is destroying the credibility of American Intelligence at home and abroad. He isn't even president yet and he is already involved in undermining/sabotaging/harming us. Just watch him once he has the authority and power! Just watch him! God have mercy on all of us! less

He outlined the key points in an interview last night... Thoughts?

Is one of those methods any better than another when the answer is the same? Or are all good?

What do they do with those brains then? Let them atrophy? Why would God waste a brain on those who never use them?

His peeps have given him carte blanche to have his way with them and our country. No exceptions. He can do no wrong. He has nothing to fear. He get away with most outrageous heinous monstrous things and it won't matter. Lucky guy. Unlucky us.
