In the absence of orders...


...go find something Evil, and kill it.

I challenge anyone to dispute that such a mandate, initiated on D-Day and H-Hour, executed by teams of 2, 4 or more Patriots, in every state and Metropolitan area, would fail to grind the machine of tyranny to a halt.  The animals may begin to consume one another - so what?  And it is all a rhetorical and academic exercise, so...

No hierarchy required.

No secret squirrel games.

Kill Evil.  Demand Liberty.  ZERO malum in se.

Self Defense is the ultimate "Moral High Ground".

Game over.

One Week.

Bug Out Vehicle: A moment off-topic


Is anyone building bug-out vehicles from retired school buses?

Use 'em until they break - then use 'em as clubs and bludgeons...


Master Jedi Zoomie has been hard at work.

I know at least 2 Patriots who take his work and print it onto labels, then post at interesting places around town - on both coasts.  Now, I know you fine, upstanding Patriots would never do such a thing, especially on a courthouse door in the wee of the night...

One Week: The true meat of the dicussion


You want to know how America avoids a Red Dawn-esque civil war, correct?  I know I do.

I enjoy spending time with my wife far too much to gratuitously jump into an American civil war, and I will not be taking her with me.  So, I am highly motivated to let that asteroid miss Earth.

As many of you have figured out, I am walking us down a path to reveal how and why X and Y are important, and when, and what, et cetera.  There is simply no way to lay out a working plan for how to avoid mass killings that far too many people feel are inevitable in our Homeland in a single post. 

So, please read the column today as we dare explore how to defeat the Revolutionaries who have been undermining American ideals since the Federalists, through RevWarII, FDR, until now.

This was a discussion held at Concerned American's old place, and it is fundamental.

One Week: Recap


As we know from history, the forces of the State are always one of the most important factors in any potential revolution.  Afterall, in most cases they have the guns and the revolutionaries have bricks.

America is different.  Both sides have guns.  Both sides are willing to use those guns - probably far more gratuitously than other governments and potential revolutions.  Add to the fact that our Founders and Framers left us explicit written "permission" to go to those guns when our leaders rendered themselves obnoxious.

I have taken the position that American Counter-Revolutionaries - those of us who believe in Liberty - can incapacitate the ability for regime forces to fight AND neutralize the will of those armed forces of the regime to fight, in a week or less.  Further, I have said it can be done with as few as 100 serious Patriots, though 400-600 would be ideal. 

I have chosen to lay out this plan slowly so that readers can understand the nuances and take time to digest the risks and rewards.  It is a very simple plan, yet with few moving parts.  There is no need for secret-squirrel shenanigans.  There is no need to meet that guy in the alley selling Stingers.  There is no need to win hearts and minds of the indoctrinated masses - who will follow whoever is leading.  There is no need to put your name on a .gov list for future use by remnants of Gestapo.  We do not need a chain of command. 

What is needed: Patriots with balls and the courage to stand up and say Fuck You - with more than just their mouths.

To date I have offered several incidents to study to lay the ground.  We'll recap them and I'll add a new one.  But remember this fundamental truth: Their is no King of the III.  You will be operating without orders.  And what are those standing orders?  In the absence of standing orders, go find something Evil and kill it.

Study Material: Dorner.  This one man shut down the second largest metropolitan area in America, made the entire collective police forces of SoCal shit the bed.  Dorner's biggest problem (and one that works in our favor) is that he was not as good as he thought he was.  With all of his advanced ninja .mil and LEO training, when he went rogue without the infrastructure and manpower he was used to having at his back, combined with his lack of off-the-books support elements, he went down.  But make no mistake - Los Angeles was shut the fuck down by one man and thousands of Bad People were wetting their panties.

We concluded that if every man and woman with a gun and badge on the payroll of Bad People were suddenly absorbed into the ether (or otherwise convinced not to follow orders to point muzzles at Patriots) the entire system of governing by force would be over, immediately.  No bureaucrat or politician is going to pick up a firearm and shut your kids lemonade stand down.  They rely on the guys and gals with guns.  Neuter the guys and gals with guns, you take the fangs and claws from the beast. 

The next case I encouraged you to study in-depth was the Beltway Snipers.  They shut down the DC area for weeks.  They had every LEO working round-the-clock to find 2 guys.  Civilians pumped their gas while ducking behind their cars or by, literally, driving 50 miles outside the DC area where Malvo had not been hunting.  Study the actions and reactions.

My next task was that I sent you out to find me just one simple case where a bureaucrat or politician who went and did his own dirty work - like shutting down little Sally's lemonade stand.  They always get armed men to do that work.  And if no men are willing to do that work, the work will not get done.  For the record, not one person was able to provide me with one single example of a bureaucrat shutting down a citizen without armed LEO at his shoulder.

Then, I asked you to refresh your memories regarding the Battle of Athens, Tennessee.  Citizens armed up, geared up, and went to the Courthouse.  The result - Bad People left.

Americans today can't have a rational discussion with our politicians and bureaucrats because they have men with guns, who will use them, to ensure that it is their mandate that wins at the end of the day.

Study assignment for tonight: The Los Angeles Riots.  LEO couldn't handle the problem, and many of them took their uniforms off and went home.  Study the acts and reactions.

History has shown that LEO and .mil will, at least in the beginning of any disturbance, pull triggers on the orders of bureaucrats and politicians.  This will not change.  The folks headed to DC on May 16 have the potential of being a modern Boston Massacre.  Americans do not change regimes by mobs.  Americans will unleash .223, .308 and .50 BMG garden hoses on thousands before they allow a mob to force a regime to resign.

What are a few other assumptions that are safe: America is too vast and under-staffed with LEO to cover everywhere at once.  We know LEO goes to ground in the face of real danger (See LA Riots).  We know that without LEO the bureaucrats and politicians are defenseless.

Rhetorical question: Do you have a 2-man Fire & Maneuver Team, right now?  Do you have a 3-Man Team?  Do you have a 4-Man Team?  If you call a muster to go hard, how many will show up?  This is rhetorical - don't answer me - answer yourself.

Think about these things.  We'll talk more tomorrow.

Ground & Pound? Don't be a victim...

Ground & Pound
Ever been on your back with a bigger guy raining punches and elbows down on your head?  You've only got a few seconds to work this one out before he lands the strike that dings your bell.

In the graphic above there is absolutely NO REASON for the guy on his back to remain there - his enemy is giving him a free pass to escape, roll out and counter.  But - that's his problem.  I show my students how to get out of this mess most ricky tick.

I have posted a new video over at the CQB site, here.  I have changed the password - if you are a member I'll email you the new one.  If you aren't a member - why not?  You practice with your rifle. your pistol, you practice getting out the door as quickly as possible.  You should also practice how to react when that enemy is suddenly close enough to pull your knife from your belt and gut you with it.

The will be no reason when we meet up again, whether at Brock's PatCom or the Citadel for you to not have this stuff mastered - unless you aren't training.

Secession


Enlarge this map and study it for a bit.  A professor went through the history books and drew new state lines/boundaries had every secessionist movement in America were successful.  I can't say that he included the Civil War in his factoring, but let's ignore that just for the sake of this discussion.

For my allies who are Secessionists, Anarchists and non Constitutionalists, would this map keep you in the Constitutional fold - predicated, of course, that every state adheres to the bare minimum of Natural Laws articulated in the Bill of Rights, and that each state defended her Citizens the way the Founders intended from the predations of FedGov.

In theory, this map would put like-minded groups together, governing themselves with no need to suffer the lowest common denominator or people they simply can not find agreement.

This is, of course, a discussion for after we win.

I would support such a United States of America under 2 conditions (the same 2 conditions I insist must be reformed today.)  First: No state may impose any law that infringes the Natural Law of a Citizen.  This means a Texan can walk to New York with his pistol on his hip and rifle on his back, and not be molested even once by .gov.  Second: I would insist that each state relaim and use the Tenth Amendment, as intended, to beat the snot our of the Feds when they tried to get all touchy-feely.

This post is a slight diversion from my One Week series, as it considers the Aftermath, an Afrtermath that retains the Constitution.

I would also suggest that in order for this to work, lest any one delegation become too powerful (as we have today) Article I Section II be enforced diligently - 1 representative per 30,000 residents.  As it stands today our representatives do not share my values or our rebukes - because majority rules.  But if my Congressman was recruited from the men and women in my 'burb, you can bet they'd be a little more attentive.

Back to the beginning: Would you non-Constitutionalists give the above a real, legitimate chance under the premise I articulated - especially that FedGov keeps their hands off you.  Don't get too hung up on where we should draw lines - they are merely markings on paper.  The important point is that we not only Restore the Constitution - but make it safer and more secure for the Citizens.

Lives, Fortunes, Sacred Honor


When Alexander landed in Persia he ordered his ships burned. Thus, his men had but one way home - through the enemy.  The man was hardcore. 

Many of you are probably wondering why Holly and I have been extending the timeline for moving into Benewah County.  I won't bore you with the many details, but I will tell you this: Holly and I have recently chosen to burn our ships on the beach.  We are leaving our Maryland home, forever.  We are totally, irrevocably, invested in the success of the Citadel Project.

Right this moment we have some absolutely wonderful people in St. Maries remodeling our Studio, and we will be able to open soon after arriving in our new home.  The Citadel & III Arms Projects continue to advance like a wide and deep river - still waters run deep. 

Like so many of you, we are in this for our Lives, our Fortunes, and our Sacred Honor.

If you are still waiting to see how many people fully commit to the Citadel Project, you are watching it happen.  Holly and I just happen to be more public than most.

We'll see you in St. Maries.

When you walk into a newsroom, just ignore Comrade Jerkoffovich in the corner who is taking notes...

According to FCC, FedGov plans to put "Monitors" in every studio that reports "news".

Comrade Jerkoffovich doesn't like your story, expect IRSNSASPCA to pitch camp in your arse.

Does anyone not understand why it will soon be too late to kill this monster of tyranny?

One Week.  We will not have unicorns pooping skittles at the end of the week - but the ability for .gov to put Comrade Jerkoffovick in the newsroom and the sweet little lady from IRS from chaining your business door shut and the cop from shutting down your kids lemonade stand will be impossible, their ability to project force will be reduced to zero - if we all do our part.

Alexander


It is said that Alexander the Great hurled his spear from the prow of his ship as he neared to the opposite bank or the Hellespont, thus proclaiming all of Asia to be his domain.  He made pretty good on that confident proclamation.

Elsewhere, once his men landed on a hostile shore, vastly outnumbered by the enemy, he ordered his ships burned.  There was only one way home now - through the enemy.  They won.

Some people in our community are looking for an Alexander, or a Jefferson, anyone who will take point and lead them to Liberty.  Since no such men have shown up, the vast majority of Patriots continue to sit and spin on their own thumbs waiting for someone to take point.

If this is you, make all the excuses you wish, Some of us are walking directly into the maw of Purest Evil.  Win or lose, we will die but once.  You will have to live with yourselves.

My allies do things.  They bring people together in PatComs, they build III Arms, they get training they need, and if they are skilled in an area, they offer that training, They raise daughters who need them every moment of the day, they live their lives ready to go to steel at a moments notice.  These people, my allies, know there is no victory to be found in cleverness.  They help one another.  They know when a thing must be killed, you simply walk up to the thing and kill it.  We have no need of secret squirrel silliness.

I will wrap up my One Week lesson in the near future,  I already know how it will be received,  Small minds have already ruled it a non-starter, without even knowing the plan.  I'm ok with this - for if they are too immature to grasp it they are certainly too immature to be of value in its execution.

Here are the fundamental questions: Do you have a Fire & Maneuver Team that is ready, willing and able to go when the time is right?  Even better do you have a genuine Fire Team?  Have you studied Dorner and the DC creeps?  Did you study what happened in Texas when a few prosecutors were shot.  

If you have at least a Fire Team that is capable of tactically operating for at ,least 72 hours in your AO, do you have the Comms set-up to contact and coordinate with fellow Patriots in border AOs? Allies are critical, intellectually honest allies are the rarest Patriots - never let them go.

Are you truly ready to do Hard Things to secure Liberty?  If not, and especially if you believe Communists are entitled to remain on a single inch of American soil, there will be room for you among the women and children...until we can properly sort you out.

We'll talk more later.  Until then, be brave enough to ask these questions of yourself, and answer with brutal honesty.

Fighting and dying when there is no hope of survival is stupid...


These guys would disagree.

So would I.

So would the III 300.

Real men taste of death but once.  Cowards taste that bile every hour of every day.

Death comes to every man.  How you meet it, matters.  These men died, and thousands of years later we know their names - for they died for all the right reasons, with bravery, honor, and for Liberty.

And if you believe it is acceptable to allow Communists to have any square inch of America,given the men who have died so that you may live without knowing what a Communist boot feels like on your throat, may your head adorn a pike.

If you do not have the grit and mettle to stand this line with me - may posterity forget you were our Countrymen.

Hint #9: One Week

Modern "Police/Peace Officer" Team

This is what passes for modern "Peace Officers".  I won't bother with the eye-rolling.

They are straight-up thugs.

They are the Force Projection elements of bureaucrats and politicians who mean to be your Masters.  I challenge you to find one other authorized member of the population who is given a badge and a gun and the direct, by his own hand, license to kill if you fail to obey.

Bureaucrats do not shoot you.

Politicians do not shoot you.

LEO shoots you.

Period.  Full Stop.

Now as you relax on this Monday and consider the first installments of the One Week series (there will be a few more installments for the folks who still haven't connected all the dots0 - I'd like you to consider simply one fact:


What would happen if every single LEO in America lost their claws/paws at the same moment, on the same day - or otherwise were convinced not to do the bidding of the bureaucrats and politicians?

Really - think about it.

Instigating herd mentality is easy if you know the triggers.

If not one person was willing to point an AR in your daughters face for her lemonade stand, if not one LEO was willing to rub your crotch at the airport, if not one cop was willing to risk his life to hassle you for smoking a joint or carrying a pistol on the streets of Chicago - just what, exactly, would the bureaucrats, Rahm and Bloomberg do about it?  Think Bloomberg will buy an AR and lead the charge into your home in a home invasion?  I think not.  He'd pee himself.

Think a few dozen million Americans, or even a few hundred Americans, can't convince 800,000 LEO to change their minds in a week?

Well, then, you simply aren't connecting the dots...

Hint #8: One Week...

 

I've read several people, women included, who consider themselves out of the fight for Liberty, aside from taking care of specific chores, many of the in the home.  In particular I watched Angel from a post the other day, as she limited her capabilities.  Make no mistake - Angel is that Warrior Angel.

This is where common sense defeats all the sooper-secret-squirrel cloak and dagger silliness.

4 generations of women in my family, from by great-grandmother to my aunts, would do their chores inside and around the house, which often including kicking me and my cousins, and these houses ranged from deep, deep southern homes in the mountains of Virginia to this very house I call home now in the prime & proper historical district of DC Suburb known as Gaithersburg.

To a woman the end of the day would include a rocker, a corncob pipe, and very, very loaded and ready long gun either across their lap or leaning within range.  There was little mischief in the neighborhood, because my maternal role models were not the only ladies on the street with the same upbringing.

And yes, when a particularly fat squirrel was stupid, he'd fall from a tree and if not dead, soon was from one of the grandkids, gutted, skinned, and ready for the pot.

Rape?  Assault?  Teenagers with their shorts at their ankles?  Only if they were catching a switch the size of a 2x4.

So all you men and woman who think you have little to contribute when it comes to cocky-Rocky the Badge driving or walking up the street when the time comes...

Wrong.

Construction Guy Needed


Construction guys: In the old days a tower such as above was probably built on a foundation that was dug and filled with a rule of thumb guesstimation.  I'd imagine a hole was built and large stones chucked in to ground level, then building would begin, including mortar.

I may be dead wrong.

But given the probable age of this tower and its lack of tilting, cracking, falling down - it seems to have worked.

So, if a guy wanted to build a few such towers or similar fortifications using rule of thumb, how would he go about it?  No pored concrete (or very little).  No rebar (or very little).

Second Issue:  If a rule of thumb guy wanted to dig a functional trench covered with a light coating of soil, what would the rule of thumb engineer suggest he do?

Anyone?



And the beat goes on...

US .gov interpretation of a mosque
So, US .gov has built a mock city in Virginia to train troops.  The picture above is what they call a "mosque".

I really don't need to say much more, do I?

On another note - I am glad so many of you are connecting the dots on my One Week series.

When you need to split wood for the fire, you grab an ax or splitting maul, a log, and go to work.

When you need to change a tire to get a jack, a spare, a wrench, and go to work.

When you need to punch an idiot in the nose, you get close and make a fist, and punch him in the nose.

Recovering Liberty is no different.

You find out who stands between you and Liberty - and you make them move or otherwise render them impotent.

This is not rocket science.  This is not some mystical mojo.  This is not level 64 Warlock dung on a video game or war game.

We'll talk more later about One Week.  In the meantime, here's the story about American Troops being trained to murder you.

Hint #6: One Week...


This is a Blue Crab.  He's in "Don't F with me bro!" mode.

I'm a Chesapeake Bay lad, and I am quite aware what these tasty critters can do before you kill them.  If they get your finger, plan on seeing what your own bone looks like.  If you let them have a pinky, you may need to sew it back on.  They are fast, have outstanding range of vision, and zero tolerance for being petted.

And how does this fit with our One Week series on Liberty?

Smash those two claws and that crab is defenseless, helpless, and exists at your whim.  Sure, he'll re-grow them - but it takes months.

Get it?

We'll talk more later.  I hope some of you are following this series and engaging grey matter - not simply spouting why it can't work...

A beak from our regular programming...


I have spoken with several serious Patriots in our community and I have become convinced that either Paintball or Airsoft Training can be an important and beneficial aspect of Guerrilla training.

I would like you feedback.

Brock's Spring PatCom is scheduled for May 8-12th.  I have asked Sparks at Signal Corps if he is available to attend and teach a Comms class, but he is otherwise committed.  I have not yet approached Brock - but what do you guys think - would it be beneficial to have an exercise during Brock's PatCon centered around an Airsoft or Paintball event?  How about a Paintball or Airsoft event at the fall 2014 Citadel Patcon?  Any value or interest?  Perhaps we could even recruit a Max, Mosby, JC or other trainer to lead us through the event so we can learn something.

Let me know if such an event, either at Brock's or the Citadel holds value.

#5: One Week


I have a few extra minutes today, so I figured I'd offer Hint #4.  Please don't just skim these study points - really explore them and let your tactical and strategic juices flow.

Here's the next tidbit: A few days ago a very astute commenter at WRSA (sorry I don't know who said it, I'd give you credit) said "Nothing will change until the bureaucrats are afraid to go to work."

That is a strategic thinker.

Study material: Remember a year or so ago when a couple of court officials got popped in Texas?  First reports thought there was some elaborate op underway targeting prosecutors.

That isn't the important part.

Study news stories from the incidents, and pay particular attention to the fact that bureaucrats who worked in the courthouse very quickly began demanding armed escorts to their vehicles, and then many simply stopped going to work.

Consider that.

Here's one story.  Research further from there.

Consider what happens when tyrants lose their trigger-pullers, and then they lose the cogs in the machine who move paperwork from A to B.  Consider how hard it was to find a badge and gun during the LA riots.

Keep thinking.  Dare to let your mind wander...

We'll talk more, later.

Consideration #3: One Week...


I've been part of this community for several years now.  As a community we have explored a very wide scope of philosophies, possibilities and ways forward to recover Liberty.  Obviously, not all of us agree on the details.  However, a significant coalition has formed based on this premise: Let us all work toward restoring the Constitution to a 1791 state, pre-Marbury, before things started getting perverted by the Federalists.  I have sworn to my friends and allies who seek Liberty that once we reach that state of being, if they wish to go further and secede or otherwise opt-out, I will stand with them and ensure they are permitted to leave without being molested.  This is called working together toward Liberty - Liberty defined by each man.  Not everyone has agreed to this plan, but enough serious Patriots are aboard that I know it can work.

One of the most frustrating aspects facing this community has been the inability to agree on a path forward to actually begin the process of recovering Liberty.  The masses are too comfy with their EBT cards - and they will probably fight to keep them.  The Marxists/Commies/Progressives are the majority in America.  In our own community, too many Patriots who have the balls to go to the Green are knee-capped because we can't ensure the safety of our families once we leave the porch.

So, I am in the process of offering a course of action that can be debated - once I put it out there.

I have taken the decision that revealing my proposal can't be done in a single post - it is too long and I would have to sacrifice far too much nuance.  So, I decided to roll it out over a week or so, giving everyone a chance to re-familiarize themselves with old events that will be important to grasping the full scope of what I propose.  Thus far I have encouraged my readers to study the Dorner Affair and the Beltway Sniper Affair as refreshers.  Don't just skim the stories, get into the meat - examine what the bad guys did, how .gov and LEO reacted, and how the civilians reacted.

I included a picture of Thomas Jefferson above.  I firmly believe he would prefer that we recover our Liberties without violence.  I agree with him.  Sadly, what Mister Jefferson wants, what I want and what you want is not the end of the discussion.  You and I can't control what the other guy decides to do.  The other guy wants absolute capitulation by us.  The other guy wants to be our Master.  The other guy has proven hundreds and hundreds of times that he will use deadly force if you fail to comply with his diktats.  The other guy employs his violence through the Standing Army of Law Enforcement Officers, a class of citizens who have proved countless times that they will kill you if so ordered.

#3: Today's Consideration as I lay out my plan for recovering Liberty: Rack your brains, use your Google-fu, and find me one single example in America where a Citizen was targeted by the government, for any infraction, and when a bureaucrat enforced the law and used deadly force to force compliance.

Just one instance.  A bureaucrat, without the legal sanction of a badge and gun, forced compliance to a law when the Citizen resisted, without calling a LEO (village/town/city/state/Fed) to do violence on behalf of the State.  Just one example where the bureaucrat did his own violence in furtherance of State/Fed law.

While you are at it, let's lump-in Study Assignment #4: The Battle of Athens.  Study it in depth.

DTG: Preps



If you do not have them in your pantry or cache when the rest of the world realizes they need bread, butter and toilet paper, you will not get what you need.

If you do not have the firearms and ammo you need when the next Sandy Hook happens, you will not be able to get them.

Here's more from Defensive Training Group.

Do not die simply because you waited a day too long to get your guns and butter.

Hint #2: One Week...


Patriots have, for years, worried, wrung their hands, blustered and come up with all sorts of counters to the possibility that a LEO Stack will come over their front door.  Some smart people have counseled that if you are worried about such a Stack - don't be there.  I'm not even going to quote Sun Tzu on that one - it's just plain fucking common sense.

What one assumes when considering a Stack is that LEO owns every advantage and may strike at his time and place of choice.  That means you have done NOTHING to degrade his operational capability and you have done NOTHING to make him worry about going home at the end of his shift.  You have done NOTHING to get inside his flow of information.  That's ok, the world needs stupid people, too.

Simple fact: When a Bad Person, politician, bureaucrat, whoever, decides to project force against you, he sends a team of LEO.

What if that team of LEO was unable or unwilling to go to your house?  Take your time, let that sink in.  Yes, you do have the ability to influence that reality.  All tyranny in America is imposed by men with badges and guns.  If they are removed from the equation, the ability to impose the will of tyrants is GONE.

Worried about an armored vehicle?  You do not look to get hold of an anti-armor weapon - you get rid of the fuel that makes the machine run.  This is not anything but common sense.

Sun Tzu (paraphrased):  If you want an easy victory, attack a place the enemy does not defend.  Want to survive an enemy attack - do not be where he attacks.  Nothing fancy here - just common sense.

Before too many more people start posting uninformed and deliberate lies about my One Week series, let me say for the record: I am abjectly opposed to the overthrow of the US Government. 

Additionally, shooting or otherwise killing people you consider to be Enemies of Liberty without warning or an official declaration of war is cowardice and malum in se.

Americans are better than that.

I suggested that you study the actions and intent of Dorner.  I also suggested that you study, extensively, how LAPD and the city of Los Angeles, the second most populous metropolitan area in America, behaved while Dorner was on the loose.

Next assignment: The Beltway Snipers.  Ignore their motivations, which were pure Evil.  But study their actions and the result.  Study how people behaved (including driving 50 miles outside of DC to put gas in their vehicles).  Study how regime forces from local LEO to FedGov LEO reacted.  Especially understand that in the end it was a civilian who broke the case.  I lived in DC during the entire ordeal.  I got to see the circus up close and personal.

Start here at the wiki details, then study elsewhere.

We'll talk more later.  This One Week series will last for a week or so.

Commentary: One Week...


I will continue my One Week series.  In some places you may have to read between the lines.  You may have to use your brains.  If you decide the strategy is something for you, mettle and grit are requisites and you will have to define Victory as did Leonidas and his allies.  Don't jump to conclusions.

Victory does not necessarily mean you are alive at the end of the day.  Victory does not necessarily mean you have vanquished the enemy.  Victory does not mean Evil dies and unicorns begin pooping Skittles.

Victory means you have done your duty for Liberty, stood and were counted.  Victory means your bravery is such that other men feel shame if they remain out of the fight.  Victory in One Week means you have helped to start the destruction of Communism, that you helped shrug off the first chains of tyranny, Victory means you have emboldened your Countrymen to do the same.

Please do not read a few hints and commentaries and think you have it all figured out.  Let it evolve.

Victory is NOT going to be found by meeting in Washington DC with a few thousand people who demand the resignations of our current leaders.  Indeed, I would take the position that such is un-American - Third World, unfitting of Americans.

Americans are to be honest in their actions.  Americans do not resort to the power of the Mob, for the precedent is unacceptable.  Americans are not clever or tricksters - ours is to be found in boldness and rectitude and ultimatum that include the ballot box or outright honest hostility.  When Americans change their Government, we vote them out, we impeach them, or we go to war.  Assassination is not American redress (except as part of legitimate war).  It is not worthy of the Patriot.

In one of my very first columns written online (it was at Kerodin.com) I suggested that Patriots band together, sling rifles and Go Bags, muster and then march on local LEO shops across the country, as one, all at the same time.  This was one of the first time Vanderboegh decided to try and eviscerate me personally and my concept, accusing me of trying to send Patriots to their deaths and to start a bloody civil war ala Fort Sumter.  I won't comment on that, I will simply offer this:

Got Phalanx?
You and I know that the only power truly at the disposal of .gov, at any level, is the men of LEO and the men in .mil who will accept the orders to go forth and project their force on behalf of bureaucratic and elected Masters.  If the ether were to suddenly vanish those in LEO and .mil who would go forth at the orders of their Masters, there would be no force projection upon Patriots and other Citizens.  There would be no LEO shutting down lemonade stands.  There would be no LEO arresting anyone for smoking a joint on the corner, no dead Citizens when the wrong (or right) house is invaded in a no-knock, no chains put on a merchants shop by IRS slugs.

The key to every edict, law, demand of .Gov is their ability to send men with guns out into the populace who will do violence on their behalf.

So how simple is this concept: No LEO, no abuse of Liberty.

Liberty immediately flourishes.

I invite anyone and everyone who thinks my assessment is wrong in physical terms to post and articulate why I am wrong.

LEO need not be killed.  As I said earlier, what if the ether simply swallowed them up?  What if they were simply convinced not to follow orders?

The problem of tyranny in America would end - right now.

Tell me I am wrong...

**WARNING**  If you post a stupid comment, I will go all Kerodin on you. If you make a good faith effort, I 'll do my best to control my asshole gene.

Hint #1: One Week...


Study Dorner, in-depth.

Not his politics.  You and I probably agree that his politics were foul.  Not that he hit what most of us would consider a non-combatant.

Study what he did, what he said he was going to do.  Study his intent and goals.

Recognize that all of his training proved pretty ineffective when all of his real-world experience was merely executing tactics with the full might of the .mil and LEO at his back - he had no real-world experience to apply those tactics on his own.

Study the reactions to what he did and said he was going to do.

You can start here at Wiki.  Then find more resources.

We'll talk more later.

Wow...

The concept: School employees poison childrens food with mustard gas on orders from a White National fucktard in support of 2A.

The drill: Ohio National Guard ran this drill.

The public statement in real life from another fucktard, a police chief from Ohio, Speaking in West Virginia: The drill accurately represents “the reality of the world we live in,” (Portsmouth Chief of Police Bill Raisin)

I can't even be bothered to comment much.  If you don't see the conflations and the intent, the misdirection and blatant lies they are using to lay the ground to justify their coming attack, perhaps it is better that way.  Your suffering, may it be brief.

But in truth, you should be feeling like a Jew in Germany just before the hammer came down.

My real question: Did any of our allies in the Ohio/WV AO have this intel in real-time from the ground?  If yes, did you disseminate it?  How widely?  If no, why not?  If you did not have the intel - look for ways to strengthen your intel capacity.

Mustard gas?  Really?  Fuck me.

Here's the piece.  Do with it what you will.

One week...

WWII Fire & Maneuver Team - Liberty has never
been secured by use of great armies.
I have worked very hard over the last 2 years to find and stand with serious, thoughtful, bold Patriots who have little use for endless debate and prognostication.  I've met you in CQB classes, at PatComs, at King's Mountain, in October at the Mall.  Some of you I have not yet met in person, but we will.  My allies do things.  My allies tend to roll their eyes when they see people ramble academically about "4GW" as if it is another level of consciousness and only the speaker understands this sophisticated and mystical fighting concept.  My allies tend to agree with Mosby when he points out that "4GW" is truly 1GW.  My allies understand that victory in a fight is simple - enter the other guys space, displace him and defend that ground.  Simple. 

Oh, and - Do not get killed in the process.

Restoring Rightful Liberty into the daily lives of Americans need not be some elaborate, complex, highly sophisticated and sooper-secret squirrel endeavor.  That is hubris.  It is unnecessary.  Interjecting Rightful Liberty back into the national discussion does not require millions of people, it does not require battlefield maneuvers or long-lasting urban warfare in a Red Dawn world.  It need not take years.  It does not require generations to counter the effects of public school indoctrination.  We need not the support of a majority, or even a plurality.

To make the machine of tyranny grind to a halt, then be rendered neutral, creating a vacuum into which notions of genuine Liberty will rush, can be a matter of one hundred men (a few hundred would be better) and a week.  Of course one week is not sufficient to correct the problems in America, or to be rid of the problem-makers - but it is sufficient to be rid of the chains of tyranny and begin the process with little resistance moving forward. 

How?

Think about it.  Consider how you would proceed if you were tasked with saving your Country (border to border and coast to coast, without committing a single malum in se crime) and Liberty, on a budget and with a short window of opportunity.  Think about it some more.

Are you serious about recovering Rightful Liberty in your lifetime?  Do you have at least one fellow Patriot in your AO who is as committed as you? 

We'll talk later.

To Shoot, Move and Communicate is the hard floor of your required skillset...


From Signal Corps:

April 4-6, 2014, Timonium, MD
April 26-27, Waterbury, CT


The class will revolve around the basics of low power/qrp/covert operation with low-profile/improvised antennas, and communications monitoring focused for VHF/UHF COMINT. It will consist of  classroom instruction and a field training exercise  (FTX). The FTX will be held *rain or shine*. Dress and equip yourself appropriately. It is strongly advised that the attendee have at least a general class ham license, as HF operation will be involved. If you don’t have a general license, you can do a COMINT/monitoring track on the Sunday FTX. Also, you will receive a copy of my new book “Grid-Down Communications”, and Maryland attendees will receive a ticket to the Timonium Hamfest on April 5th.  as part of the course.
Topics to be discussed will include:
  • Considerations for III%er/Grid-Down Communications
  • Equipment Selection
  • Improvised Antennas
  • Low Profile/Covert Operations
  • Basic Cryptographic Systems and Techniques
  • Non-Radio Communications Options
  • IFF (Identification Friend/Foe) and Interoperability System Considerations
  • Basic Improvised Surveillance/Security Systems – Off The Shelf Solutions
  • VHF/UHF Communications Monitoring/COMINT (Communications Intelligence)  Equipment and Systems
  • Basic COMINT and COMINT Analysis
~~

“If all my possessions were taken from me with one exception, I would choose to keep the power of communication, for by it I would soon regain all the rest” ~ Daniel Webster

 ~~

No matter what you may think the world holds in our future, the ability to communicate over distances will be imperative.  If some pundits are correct and we fall into a Civil War, maintaining communication with Patriots around the country will be important for coordination and intelligence, and the ability to use your radio in a hostile environment is a skillset you will not be able to learn on the job.  If you consider any post war scenario, the same Comms abilities will be needed to reach out to other parts of the country to find needed supplies, needed expertise, manpower, even diplomacy if we Balkanize.

The point: No matter what is coming our way, the ability to communicate is one of the fundamentals of Shoot, Move, Communicate - and Resistance.

Sparks is offering special early bird discounts for upcoming classes.  If you can't attend for some reason, consider sending one of your allies.  The ability to find this kind of training will be impossible, at any price, once the Games begin.  Indeed, not having these skills may cost you everything - life, liberty, property...

2014 NC Spring PatCon


May 8th - 12th!

If you are east of the Mississippi you should try very hard to make it to Brock's Spring PatCon.  If you are west of the Mississippi - the same advice applies.  If there is any way possible for you to make it to North Carolina in early May you should do it.  Dozens of serious, smart and dedicated Patriots are always in attendance. 

If you are serious about helping Liberty grow in America, be there.

Here's Brock's post.

If you try to take our guns, we will kill you! (or we'll just buy your carry permit...)

K: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

California confiscating firearms with armed raids, teams consist of California LEO and FedGov DOJ LEO.  Story is here. (Found this at AngryMike's place, here)

Fucking hypocrites.

Patriots: Say what you mean and mean what you say.  Don't be that guy.  Don't be the douche who promises Shock & Awe, then pretends he doesn't see the guys dancing all over his line in the sand because he's a fucking coward.

The moment you draw a line in the sand and fail to enforce it, you lose all credibility.  If you continue to stand with such people, you lose respect.  That sort of behavior stains us all.

Firearms are being confiscated by .gov in armed raids, and we've been reporting on that for months.

Not one gun owner has defended himself in California.  Not one OathKeeper has stepped up.  Not one militia in California has done a thing about this topic.  Not one Patriot has gone to California to intercede.  Hell, I haven't even seen one Open Letter on a blog directed at men who actually have the balls to carry out their threats and confiscate guns.  Seen lotsa Open Letters, though...

On the bright side, a Texas Grand Jury nullified .gov attempts to prosecute a guy who defended himself in a no-knock on his home and killed one of the home invaders - I mean LEO.  Good on ya, Texans.  Let's hope this spreads. (Story here)

Man up, or for the love of all that is... - just STFU.

III Arms: What is Miller up to? Is that a...


Hmm - minor miscalculation on the CNC?  Or...

III Arms celebrated her first birthday a week ago.
Now, I know the little one is .223...

It's been about 18 months since first inception online.  Just a year since final licensing was put in place.  Some parts remain very difficult to acquire post-Sandy Hook.

What has been accomplished in this endeavor that was created to support the Citadel?

Minuteman ARs built, shipped and delivered to Patriots.

Founders 1911s built, shipped and delivered to Patriots.

A national ad campaign in the works - and it will hurt Liberal sensibilities.

The Liberator contest - rumors of strange happenings in the super-secret Liberator Lab.

And yesterday Jim Miller, President of III Arms, dropped a teaser on the III Arms Facebook audience - it would seem Mr. Miller and III Arms may be exploring the Stoner Platform in .308.  And, since I see an actual big-boy lower in the picture, I think it is safe to say Jim is not simply in the concept stage.  It would appear he is taking the concept to the development stage.

What are your thoughts?  Would a III Arms AR in .308 interest you?

Visit Jim at the III Arms FB page, here, and drop him a message.

Remember, Patriots: There is no boundary on what we can accomplish if we work together.  Do not be afraid to set high goals.  You may miss a few - but if you never try for what may seem impossible, then you'll never know if you were right or wrong...

Life is too damned short to have a pile of regrets at the end.

There are ditches all over the world filled with the remains of people who refused to bitch-slap their own lying eyes.  Most of those ditches can be found in *formerly* Communist countries.  Interesting tidbit, that...

Mother Nature is soon going to rid the gene pool of a lot of Stupid.

On an entirely unrelated note, Putin's opening at the Olympics includes a tribute to the Stalin era.

Oh, and proving that America is still populated with serious people and remains in good intellectual standing, we have this from Florida: Fla. Bill to carve out authorization for children to de-criminalize making gun shapes with Pop-Tarts...

And before you snort in derision at the grown-assed adults who stand in the State Legislature and will debate and then vote for such a law, signing their names to it (or against it!), remember - they won elections.  Yes, they have the endorsement of a high number of Florida residents.  And you were worried about our future.  Pushaw I say!  You worry too much.  Our future is secure - we will get exactly what we deserve...

Feeding your Tribe


Planting season is drawing closer.

You probably already purchased some of the seed you will need after SHTF.  Perhaps you have even filled your personal seed vault.  Has your Tribe stocked enough seed?  Do you know someone who needs a starter package?  Has your church put back a supply to help when the world turns ugly?

Are you friend or foe to the Rightful Liberty of your Countrymen?


The Congress shall have the power
  • 1.  To lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defence and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States:
  • 2. To borrow money on the credit of the United States:
  • 3. To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes:
  • 4. To establish an uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States:
  • 5. To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures:
  • 6. To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States:
  • 7. To establish post-offices and post-roads:
  • 8. To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries:
  • 9. To constitute tribunals inferior to the supreme court:
  • 10. To define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offences against the law of nations:
  • 11. To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water:
  • 12. To raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than two years:
  • 13. To provide and maintain a navy:
  • 14. To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces:
  • 15. To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions:
  • 16. To provide for organizing, arming and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the states respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress:
  • 17. To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such district (not exceeding ten miles square) as may, by cession of particular states, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States, and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the state in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dock-yards, and other needful buildings: And,
  • 18. To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof.


  • If you are a government employee (federal, state, city, town or village) or contractor and you perform any "job related" functions that exceed the above limitations that were imposed by We the People upon the Federal Government, you are violating your oath and you are violating the supreme laws of the land.  If you are an American who votes for politicians who violate the limits stated above, you are guilty of facilitating crimes against your fellow Citizens.  If you believe that what you are doing is acceptable because someone has given you permission or cites a "Court ruling", or cites "General Welfare" or "Necessary & Proper", you are wrong - no person, including Judges and the politicians elected to our highest offices, have the authority to sanction your violations of our Constitution and your violations exercised against the Natural Laws of your Countrymen.

    You will be held accountable.  You identify and define yourself by the uniform you choose to wear and by the paychecks or "Entitlement" checks you choose to accept.  Accepting money that has been confiscated by theft is not forgivable.

    If you think you will be forgiven, you are wrong.

    America is being broken, by deliberate malevolent action and pure negligence founded in personal greed.  Responsible Citizens will step in at some point to repair the republic.  When that time comes, your actions today will be measured against the list of legitimately delegated powers above.  When that happens, how will you fare?

    For now, consider this piece from Dr. Dan.
