III Officer Corps

War Eagle

There is one facet about SHTF that we have discussed several times, that needs to be addressed again.

You are the Officer Corps for the III and the Liberty Movement.  You are all 'Leaders', whether you want to be or not, and whether your role will be behind a rifle or in the Auxiliary.  You are awake.  You have preps.  You have trained.  You have readied your mind and Soul for what is to come.  That puts you in a Leadership role by default.

Yes, there will be people who come to your stronghold thinking they will be allowed to move-in and share your comforts, food, medicines and live under the protection afforded by your weapons and mindset.  Most of these people you'll have to run off, because they bring little or nothing to the table.  However, there will be some people you want to let into your Tribe - physicians, dentists, engineers, etc.  Today you may have only a few allies in your Tribe.  Your ranks will swell quickly when SHTF, and you'll have pick of the litter.

As a Leader you need to have gear you can distribute, from rifles to band-aids.  Even if you are in the Auxiliary you should have the skills to sit down with a young man and teach him how to use his compass for land navigation, how to fieldstrip his 1911 or AR, work a radio, etc.


Wild Bill Donovan
Now you must look at yourself under a harsh light and through the lens of a genuine Leader - a Leader responsible for keeping your Tribe alive and healthy while pursuing Rightful Liberty.  You need to understand how to fight in small units.  You need to know how to fight in the woods and 'burbs and city.  You need to know how to work the Comms, how to run your Intel assets, how to use dead drops, target selection, psyops - all the skills of the Commando.  You do not need to be a Master of all these skills, but you must be familiar with them all.

Most importantly, you must know how to lead Men.  Tom at Defensive Training Group offers "Train the Trainer" courses along these lines.  These classes are imperative and essential.  Leading Men is as much art as science, with many intangibles involved.  And remember, a great percentage of III Patriots are Alpha Males, not quiet wallflowers who tremble in the face of authority.  They trust only when they see that you know your shit.  So you need the hard skills of the warfighter, the spy, the Auxiliary, as well as the skills to lead Men into Harm's Way who will fight for you and the men next to them.  And you need to be able to articulate why your people are fighting - what is the goal, define Rightful Liberty, how to achieve it, RoE, etc.

Obviously, most people reading this post need more training.  And while time is short, there are outstanding Trainers available to you, especially if you are able to travel to the East Coast and upper NorthWest.  Running through a course offered by Max or J.C. once does not mean you are finished.  You should go through as many different courses as possible, and you should repeat courses as you are able to ensure the skills sink-in.

I have decided to launch a III Officer School in Idaho, built around my first offering - a CQB program called "Commando Combatives (TM)" that I will offer beginning in the Spring.  I'll offer two versions - one that will take a long weekend, and another that will take a full week.  I am even considering a summer program for kids and parents, the core of any Tribe. Whether you and your Team come for the weekend or take vacation time to train hard for a week, you'll add significantly to your unarmed skills as well as your transition skills.

In addition to CQB, we will be hosting a wide range of classes for III Leaders - from Combat Medical to Comms to stalking to night ops, and more.  We'll bring serious professional trainers to the Mountain to ensure you get the best possible training that you can take home and share with your team.  Whether you choose to camp on the Mountain or grab a motel room in town, you'll be in a beautiful part of the country, surrounded by fellow Patriots, learning skills that will be essential to recovering Liberty in your AO.

I'll share more details about the new training school over the coming months.  In the meantime, be sure to contact Max, J.C., Sparks, DTG, and do not forget WRSA - if you do not learn something new every single day from the work of Concerned American, you are not paying attention - for specialized, essential training.  Be sure to find a local martial arts school that can help you learn unarmed fighting skills and build your PT.

Securing Rightful Liberty rests on your shoulders, perhaps more than you know.

If you and I don't do the work, it won't get done.

WWIII is upon us.  RevWarIII is upon us.

You and I do not fit into the plans of the Enemies of Liberty.

Train, Patriots.  Earn that III designation, ladies & gentlemen.

Pull your weight.  Stay the Mother Fucking Course.

Anders Lassen: "Landed. Killed Germans. Fucked Off."


"Landed.  Killed Germans.  Fucked Off."

That was how this Commando often wrote up his reports to HQ.  WiscoDave sent me the link about Lassen and his Team, who were tasked by Churchill to engage the enemy unconventionally.  Dave knows that I am convinced the only way Rightful Liberty can be restored in America is to follow the lead of Bill Donovan and men like Major Lassen.  First we must stand up.  Then the Enemies of Liberty will insist upon a fight.  When that fight is forced upon you, OSS & SOE should be the blueprint you follow.  Specifically - Jedburgh.

Here's the link.  Thanks, Dave!

III Chaplain Corps: Update on Houston


The III is very fortunate that we have Prepping Preacher in our ranks, and that he is willing to take point on the spiritual perspective.  He has an update regarding the Houston Mayor who issued subpoenas to local clergy for their sermons.

As noted in the post, the Enemies of Liberty are backing off this round.  But they will be back. 

They will never stop, until they are forced to stop.

They will never comprehend Rightful Liberty.  They will never respect it.

Is Your Analysis Dynamic or Static?


Static Analysis: You take a swing at my head and assume you will hit me.

Dynamic Analysis: You factor-in that I may duck.

Two stories that provide insight to a piece of our future:

Nearly 25% of the physicians in America have opted-out of ObamaCare.

An 'extraordinary number" of medical staff at Bellevue Hospital called in sick when Dr. Ebola (Craig Spencer) arrived for treatment.

The Ebola Cluster Foxtrot in America may be nothing more than an Administration seeking to do what it has done since coming to DC - destroy America.  They did not get the ObamaCare they wanted in the first term - single payer.  The Ebola Sparklie only needs a few dozen cases in America before our medical care infrastructure grinds to a halt.  That would provide an opening for .Gov to declare an Emergency and impose the ObamaCare system they wanted in the first place.

The people in this Administration have done more damage to America than all previous Administrations combined, in my opinion (except for Lincoln.)  They promised to transform America.  They are making good on that promise.  It should be an easy mental exercise to accept that the Ebola Sparklie is simply the Admin doing what the Admin does.

Haters gotta hate.  Tyrants gotta tyrant.

We shall see.

A few thoughts


What was the public response when the State Department let it be known they intend to bring foreign Ebola patients to CONUS for treatment?  The blogosphere erupted, the conspiracy folks took it up several notches, and Ebola is what most Americans are talking about. 

Now ask yourself: Is the White House trying to expand the Ebola deaths in America, or are they merely turning up the volume knob so that Ebola remains the conversation?  If you suspect the latter, then we must consider what the Ebola clamor is drowning out.  What else is happening while we are all focused on Ebola?  Is the Ebola noise merely an intentional distraction?

Whether this latest escalation is simply designed to keep us looking at the right hand while the left hand does something more sinister, or it is indeed an attempt to import Ebola as a weapon, you should consider attending training with Georgia Force on Force in February.  I had the opportunity to meet Grenadier1 at Brock's Spring PatCon, and watch him teach a primer force on force class.  It was outstanding, and revealed soft spots for the participants as they tried working as a team.  G1 and his team are offering critical skills training you will need at some point.  You will meet allies and be forced into Harm's Way without time to train together.  You'd better know how to operate with brand new allies in the middle of a Cluster Foxtrot.

Israel has posted a piece that offers perspective on what matters.  This is "Why" we will fight. 

We will fight for ourselves, for our blood, and for those brothers and sisters we have met who do not share our blood, who we choose to be part of our lives.  We will fight so that in our twilight we can look back upon our lives and remember those Souls who improved us simply by being our friends.  Time and distance can not take from us the gifts our friends brought into our lives.

The man in the picture above is William Fairbairn.  Most of you know who he was.  He was born 20 years after RevWarII, and died 15 years after WWII.  He was in at least 600 contact-range deathfights during his life, and managed to die as an old man of natural causes - with a lot of scars.  He trained thousands of Americans and Brits in the skills of the Commando - skills that would help many of them to come home - alive - when their work was done. 

One can make a very strong argument that sharing your skills with your fellow man is one of the more noble acts we can perform as a species.  G1 is putting himself out there to help fellow Patriots.  Max and J.C., too.  Sparks31Tom.  Come to Idaho and I'll share what I can.  A Patriot who hosted a CQB class last summer sent me a link to Fairbairn's Get Tough, still considered to be one of the bedrock manuals for serious close-range fighters.  For those training days when you can't be in the woods with Max and the other excellent trainers listed above, use solid sources like Get Tough as a blueprint for training with your Tribe.  Thanks, Jeffery. 

If Rightful Liberty is to be alive when the dust settles, it will be because you trained, because you chose to Stand Up, because you dared to defy those who would be our Masters with a sincere "No."

It's on you, and me.  If we do not do it, it won't get done.

Why voting is not a viable means of course correction...


When people put themselves before all others, they are no longer capable of being part of a civilized and prudent society.  When "Me-First" is their default and intractable position, you do not have a fellow citizen, you have a cancer cell swimming in the bloodstream of society.  And when you have too many cancer cells...

The nurse in Maine is one example.  She went to treat Ebola patients in Africa, then came home.  She refuses to quarantine herself.  This is not about Ebola - this is about a woman who willingly subjected herself to a potentially deadly situation (which is her choice) but then behaves in such a manner that her neighbors may suffer for her choice.  Her neighbors did not choose to risk their lives with Ebola - but this woman is forcing that risk upon them with her selfish behavior.

I have no obligation to risk being exposed to Ebola (or anything else that may kill me) simply because my neighbor chooses to take those risks.  Forcing me into a position where I must face those risks simply because my neighbor refuses to stay home and play monopoly for 3 weeks invokes my Natural Law Right to Self Defense.

Sorry, but I have no obligation to suffer or die just because you are stupid and selfish.

The second example is a demonstration of true Evil: "Post-Birth Abortions" are acceptable to a growing minority of people.  I will not even bother to articulate how or why taking the life of a baby or child up to kindergarten age is Evil.  Like porn, you know it when you see it.  And if you don't see it, I can't help you.

An overwhelming majority of people in America are fouled and diseased in their hearts.  You do not need to murder a 4-year-old to be Evil.  You can simply choose to tolerate it in your society. 

We tolerate far too much Stupid and Evil, and it is the means by which America has committed suicide. 

These people vote.

That is why voting will not move our point of impact one inch, or delay it by one minute.  We are outrageously outnumbered...for now.

J.C. Dodge: Frein & Rightful Liberty Considerations...


J.C. Dodge explores the hypocrisy on display in Pennsylvania and through many layers of .Gov on the Frein hunt.

Here's the piece.

When the premise is flawed, all that follows is flawed...

If you’ve ever tried to board a plane, cash a check or rent a car, you’ve almost surely had to show some form of identification with your picture on it. For most people, that takes the form of a driver’s license, but there are other forms of photo ID. Millions of Americans produce them every day to do dozens of everyday tasks and think nothing of it.

Why should it be any different when we vote?

The above is from a piece written over at Doug Ross' site by Ed Feulner.

Whatever your position on voting, here is the problem with Mr. Feulner's argument - the premise is flawed.

Look at his very first sentence.  Does anyone reading this blog believe the State has the authority to determine whether or not you may board a plane, cash a check or rent a car without ID?  Just because "...millions of Americans produce [ID] every day to do dozens of everyday tasks..." doesn't mean it is proper or just.  It simply means millions of Americans are willing to permit the State to meddle in nearly every aspect of their lives.

Read the post below this one - Rightful Liberty: Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock.  It ties directly into this line of thought.

When I first began writing online I challenged every reader to do a simple thing: Examine the premise.  On everything.  Take a cold, hard look at everything you do, and explore why you do it, through the lens of Rightful Liberty, and see if you are following a flawed premise.

Either you own you - or you permit others to own you.  Your choice.

Rightful Liberty: Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock


 
How many felonies would you commit if you decided to live in a state of Rightful Liberty for one single day?

Think about it for a moment.  Think of all the things you do every single day for which you must first acquire permission - whether it is riding a motorcycle, installing a light socket to pay your bills as a "Licensed" electrician, owning a SMG noise muffler, taking a pill for pain.  If you refuse to acquire the proper permission slips, how many of the things you do every day are outright felonies, or may rise to the level of a felony at the will and whim of LEO, a magistrate, prosecutor or some bureaucrat?

Think of all things forever forbidden to you and your children, for no permission slip exists.

How many felonies would you commit just getting through a single day of doing what you want to do, within the parameters of Rightful Liberty?  How many felonies, therefore, stand between you and Rightful Liberty - a state of Liberty that is gifted by your Creator and denied to you by men with pens and guns.

How long will you permit men to stand between you and that which was gifted to you by your Creator?  How long will you tolerate men who interfere with the sacred relationship between you and your Creator?  How long will you disrespect and insult your Creator by allowing men to deny His gifts to you?

In the past we discussed a few of the Universal Laws under which Nature and Man operate.  Add to those discussions the awareness of patterns.  There are patterns in Nature and Man, and among men.  Learn the patterns and you can learn to avoid certain errors and how to influence certain outcomes.

Two martial equals will usually kill one another if they fight.

Two equals in tic-tac-toe will always play to a draw.

Two equals who know one another will usually play to a draw in rock-paper-scissors .

And even when the game is made more complex and nuanced, such as rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock, two equally adept players who know one another well will usually play to a draw.

The patterns and rules that have been constructed by Evil men for their advantage (and that of their genetic and ideological posterity) in life can be gamed if you learn the patterns and then use that knowledge to your advantage.  Learn the patterns, identify the tools they use to manipulate you, then invoke your Sun Tzu and Musashi and attack in a place, manner and time where your enemy does not defend.  Military folks will call this f'ng up his OODA loop.  Most people just call it common sense.

But how does the American who was born into this system of rules and conditioned every day of his life break out of the paradigm and into Rightful Liberty?  Hint: You do not build a Ma Deuce in your basement and then go riding with it on an unregistered motorcycle as Step One.  Not one of us remembers an America without NFA.  Most of us are conditioned from our earliest years to covet the day we can go and receive permission to drive - to exercise the Right of locomotion.  Most of us know the phrase tax cheat is received by most people as an epithet.  This is all conditioning by Evil men, institutionalized across generations.

First you must understand that what you want is yours to begin with, what you are being denied is your birthright, and that morally you are entitled to reach for it, possess it, and use it.  That is where you must begin, by embracing that you are being wronged, and that you have a moral Right to end the abuse.  And dismiss that Moral High Ground silliness - you have a Right to your Rights by any means necessary.  The man between you and your Natural Rights is a man who chooses to stand in a perilous place. F' him.

Once you have embraced that you are morally right to pursue and take possession of your Rights, start small.  One does not watch a DVD, call that training, then step into an MMA ring.  Even the most elite men in our military are not on leave at home on Friday at a BBQ, HALO jumping into the Bin Laden compound on Saturday, and back home for Sunday dinner.  There is a process generically known as "Clicking On" in which even the most highly trained fighters methodically ramp up in preparation for a piece of work, an ever-increasing isolation and focus that pares away everyone and every thing except the Team and the Mission.  And once the mission is over, there is a ramping down, a deliberate process to "Click Off" so that the Operator doesn't double-tap his father-in law simply for waving a steak knife around at the dinner table.

(Those of you familiar with the world of martial Japanese arts know the "Clicked On" state of mind as Zanshin.  There may be many years between your first brush with Zanshin until you feel it again, but as you train, it comes easier.  If you are truly gifted and dedicated, there will come a time when Zanshin is your default, running silently in the background of your awareness, ready to come into focus at will.  Being "Clicked On" is not genuine Zanshin, obviously, but it is a fundamentally efficient simile for the purposes of fighters.)

This ramping up/down conditioning is not only in the military community on a mission-by-mission basis.  Soldiers do not leave Fallujah today and get on a Greyhound for home in Topeka tomorrow - they ramp down through several deliberate, refined steps before returning to the world.  Nor is this conditioning process exclusive to the military.  Prisoners who are due to be released may begin the process of "stepping down" several years before they are to be released.  They are transferred to prisons that are less hostile and dangerous until they are ultimately sent to a "half-way house".  You do not go from a High Security prison where every hour is capable of being violently your last, to being released at Denny's.  The Human animal is not equipped for such rapid decompressions.

Knowing that .gov employs this particular process is good information to have - because it may allow you, perhaps, an insight to their thinking and their likely actions at some future time or during some future event in which you must anticipate their actions.

So, how does one break down the artificial barriers that have been in place since birth and re-enforced through life, barriers that have the singular function of keeping you from daring to reach for your Natural Rights?  We have spoken before of training by choosing a particular misdemeanor every day and violating it.  Violating it without getting caught is valuable as training for tactics and strategy.  However, the more important value, is that such violations help re-wire your brain and condition your psyche to become comfortable in daring to go where you have not gone before - into the realm of criminal.  Train, and ramp up until you are free.

Max has suggested you begin simply by "Standing Up" - what John Parker phrased as "Stand your ground."  That is as good a place to begin as any.  Then begin using the word "No" more often.

Face this fact: Evil men have criminalized Liberty.

You can not live at Liberty in America today without becoming a criminal.

You will never know Liberty in America without dismissing many laws, committing many felonies, and being willing to physically fight the men who mean to stand between you and your Creator.

You'd better begin ramping up.

You'd better begin to Click-On.

Every day.  Every single day you must become harder, smarter, less affected by the taunt of Criminal!  You must become immune to the stigma of their labels.  You must take more responsibility for your own Liberty, for it is your Obligation to defend your Creator and His gifts to you.

You must break their rules.

Or you will remain upon your knees, licking the hands that feed you.

That is not a life worth living.

Not your dad's Ebola...


For example, Obama has refused to implement an Ebola travel ban because he is greatly underestimating the seriousness of this virus.

The above is from the Economic Collapse blog, and it is dead(ly) wrong and a textbook example of Normalcy Bias.

The author is stuck in the paradigm that our "Leaders" must be underestimating the crisis, because the notion that our "Leaders" might not be taking prudent steps for any other reason would reveal that they are Evil, and willing to murder untold millions of people.

You underestimate the level of Fuck You in the other guy's heart at your peril.

Heh, told ya...

In the wake of Sandy Hook much of the Gun/Liberty blogosphere went full retard, expecting a new AWB from Congress, and FedGov Storm Troopers enforcing 2A infringements on behalf of Those Who Would Be Our Masters.

As America went on a record-breaking gun & ammo shopping spree that cleared the shelves of nearly every combat rifle, pistol and boxes of ammo in the country, we posited here that Federal legislation would fail and we warned that what would happen is that the people placed on the "Prohibited Persons" lists would grow across hardcore Blue states.

New York has already built a database of nearly 35,000 people who are to be denied 2A based on "Mental Health". 

California has passed legislation with language that is even more dubious, A.B. 1014, which goes into effect Jan. 1, 2016, creates a Gun Violence Restraining Order that allows people who suspect a family member is mentally unstable or dangerous to get a court order forbidding that person from owning weaponry and ammo. The state legislature passed the bill in reaction to the tragic mass murder in May at Isla Vista.

So in Cali a "family member" will have the power to strip your 2A.

Keep calm and keep your focus simple:

Commander's Intent: Rightful Liberty

I: Stand your ground...

II: Do not fire unless fired upon...

III: If they mean to have a war, let it begin here (Defend Yourselves!)...

IV: When war is forced upon you, go find something Evil and kill it...

Ebola Perspective


I haven't posted much on the Ebola gig.  WRSA has it covered.

Nothing I can do about it, anyway.  I was reminded last night about the simple lesson of doubling every day, beginning with a single penny.  Ebola may never hit the same pace, but the principle is sound, and worth remembering.

I do not believe in grand conspiracies.  However, I do believe in the Moscow Rules:

Once is an accident.

Twice is coincidence.

Three times is an enemy action.

This is "ramping up".  This is the "dropping of optics."

And the Enemies of Liberty are just warming up.

I still recommend everyone consider Election Day to be D-Day from the perspective of the Bad People - the last day of the good ol' days.

There is no course correction possible.  Impact is imminent.

Are you ready?

That's a rhetorical question...

We are the heirs of marauders, pirates, conquerors, colonizers, colonialists, and imperialists...



Today we say that the beheadings and crucifixions of ISIS remove them from the company of civilized men. They should be annihilated to the last man, we hear on cable TV. 

But the Romans beheaded St. Paul and crucified Christ. Queen Elizabeth beheaded her cousin Queen Mary, even as her mother Anne Boleyn had been beheaded by her father Henry VIII, who also decapitated Sir Thomas More.

The French Revolution Jefferson loved used at its instrument of justice the guillotine, to which Louis XVI and his queen Marie Antoinette were sent. Those heroes of the Revolution, Danton and Robespierre, were guillotined, as was Charlotte Corday, four days after she stabbed to death in a bathtub a third great man of the revolution, Marat.
 
Great men are rarely good men, and every great empire is guilty of great crimes. But the empires men still study and admire are those that created, built and advanced civilization, that brought mankind to a higher plateau, that left behind magnificent legacies.

I have no conflicted conscience regarding whence I came or where Men must soon go.

You are not the Boss of Me!


Several random thoughts, with nothing binding them together...

Max has an excellent series of posts discussing Rightful Liberty:  One, Two, Three, Four.

WRSA has linked them all, continuing to serve as our modern Green Dragon Tavern.

Oleg articulates reality with simple elegance, here.

It's October, in an election year, and stocks are now negative for the year.  Duh.

It's October, in an election year, after decades of theft around the world, and Europe is just about to implode.  No, really.  This is my shocked font.

Vlad intends to keep Crimea.  Vlad intends to reunify all of Mother Russia.  "Told ya" is pointless on this one.  Test him - he'll help you glow in the dark.  WWIII is underway and ramping up.

RevWarIII is also underway, and as we have warned since the day after the 2012 election, the optics are falling away as we near November - and will be dropped entirely soon after the elections.  The outcome of the elections is irrelevant to RevWarIII except in one manner - the more D's in office, the bigger the rubber stamp that will be used as Enemies of Liberty move to their end game.

Did you know the original meaning of the word "commando" is "militia"?  This is an onion we'll be peeling layer-by-layer over coming weeks.

You should already be where you intend to defend yourself and your family.

You should already have everything you can lay-in.

You should be training relentlessly - because impact is imminent and the crater will be epic.

When Comms fail and we are all separated by miles and enemies, Patriots should use Mister Jefferson's definition of Rightful Liberty as their North Star: Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others.

Keep it simple.

Stay the fucking course.

That is all for now.

The Enemies of Liberty...


...have already drawn First Blood.

Many, many times.

You and I exist in a time and place wherein any action you take to resist, guided in accord with the principle of Rightful Liberty, may be defined under Natural Law as self defense.

What was promised to us in the Declaration and Bill of Rights, via the parameters of the USC, has been taken from us by threats of violence and by actual violence.

Once you have been forced into a state of self defense, Natural Law itself grants you Weapons Free status.

"They" are spilling blood.

You need not wait until it is your turn to be the victim before you defend yourself.

PJB quote: But today rogue judges and justices, appointed for life, answerable to no one, instruct a once-democratic republic on what laws we may and may not enact.

Even PJB understands the republic no longer exists.

Rightful Liberty: Max & Patrick Henry

Two pieces from Max using Rightful Liberty as the bedrock for the Hard Things in life.

Notice I did not say "...for the coming Hard Things." or some variation.  That is because RevWarIII is already fully underway.  Look at your feet - the rising tide of RevWarIII has already covered your feet, even if you do not yet feel the water trickling through your boots.

The coming North American Liberty Games are, and have been for a while now, present tense and underway, not some future event.  The Enemies of Liberty are already moving and racking up a body count of their enemies.  And in fewer than 30 days, after the elections, you'd better understand that every remaining scrap of façade will be dropped.

If you do not hear Patrick Henry in your head, right now, you are lost.

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace, but there is no peace. The war is actually begun!

Go read the full text once more - the time is right.  Every sentence should hit you like a fist.  Here is Mister Henry's speech in full.

Max One.

Max Two.

I have now seen the likely causality of my death...

...and I am married to her.

For many of you who know me and my wife, you'll get the gist quickly: My wife and I went to dinner.  Wife had 2 margaritas.  At this point many of you are already going "ohhhhh shit...".

We get in the truck, into traffic and begin heading home, and all is well.  We hit a stop light, we are in the left-turn lane waiting for our green light.  Two lanes over, in the right turn lane, there is a car at the intersection waiting until it is safe for him to make his turn into traffic.  The expensive car behind him is driven by an asshat, who begins relentlessly honking his horn at the car that won't just dive into traffic.

Remember - 2 margaritas.  My wife has an opinion on the matter of asshats who honk in asshat fashion for asshat reasons.  My wife rolls down her window and shares that opinion - across 2 lanes of traffic.  If you were at the Idaho PatCon, you have some idea about how my lovely wife can sometimes share a strongly-held opinion.  Passionately is a good word.  Loudly works, too.  Lacking smiles and kindness can fit the bill at times.  Sincerity is without question.  So - she was sharing across several lanes from her now-open window.

Just then the car at the intersection - the one causing the asshat driver to honk because he won't carelessly turn into 50 mph traffic - turns on his red & blues.  He's an unmarked LEO - in civvies. 

That hit me and my wife right in our tickle-spots.

The moment the lights turn on H and I begin laughing with great abandon - because the asshat had been honking at a cop to the point that the cop got fed up - and I'll be the first to say he held his patience far longer than would have I.  So - LEO turns on his lights and gets out of his car to have a discussion about proper driving habits with the asshat behind him - when my wife decided to weigh-in once more, laughing at said asshat with language that made my tender sensibilities blush.

2 margaritas of full-bore H.

LEO now notices my wife, and decides the asshat behind him can wait for a moment - and he starts heading toward my wife's side of the truck.  As LEO gets a few feet from H's window, he decides it may be appropriate to put his hand on his weapon.  H explained in a very well-timed manner that she was cheering because asshat driver was an asshat driver.  I will not bother to explain my thoughts as his hand found his weapon with his attention on my wife - and fortunately he was quick to understand that she was supporting him in her own special H way.

"He was being really rude!" she informed LEO (and every driver in a quarter-mile radius) - as he had his hand on his weapon.

"Yes ma'am, but you're being a little excessive..." he said, and turned away to deal with asshat driver.

My light turned green and I did not hang around to learn what happened to asshat...

So when the day comes that you read my obit, some of you will rightfully wonder if margaritas and my bride were involved...

Stay safe, folks.

To the LEO involved: If you are a reader, no foul. 

1) Artist Needed & 2) This is why we do not high-kick in a real fight...

Cock Punch
 
Yes, please bring the high kicks. 

New topic -

Artist needed:

I need a patch created from one (or both if you're sporty) of these images.  The graphic style should be bold strokes, not fine detail - the message has to be understood on an embroidered patch about 4" round (or rectangle).  Even the line art image above is more detailed than needed. 

Here are the images I'd like you artsy folks to work with:






You can crop them, drop superfluous detail, add "swoosh" streaks that indicate which way the palm strike is headed, or indicates the plunge of the dagger, etc. 

Remember, the goal is a patch that shows simple action and movement of the upward palm strike and the second is of the plunging dagger strike. I don't care about the knee to the groin - I don't teach that technique.

Course Adjustment: III


Contemplation is complete - though never stagnate.

Talk is cheap.  We've been talking for years.  And we've lost ground.  Every single year I have been alive, Liberty has lost ground.  I have more years behind me than ahead - so, what the fuck...

This part of the III is about to go hard.

"This part of the III..." means me - I speak for no one but me. 

If you choose to walk in the same direction, and you aren't a douche, welcome.

If you are a douche (liar, phony, game-player, you get the idea) stay where you belong - outside of my sphere. 

For those of you who have taken or watched my CQB Fight to your Weapon class, it is important to understand that every technique we trained was defense.

It's time for offense.  Online and...not.

So if you offend easily, perhaps you should not return here.  And if you offend easily, I caution you to give me wide berth.  I will never warn again.  This is it.

My life remains far more busy than I like, so I may not post routinely.  Things will only get worse when we finally hit Idaho.  I encourage some of you harder Patriots to consider coming for a visit, and train at the studio - we'll teach some offense.

Fair warning to III Patriots who choose to walk near me - Harm's Way will be encountered.

More in coming days...

Contemplation

I'm not sure what I have left to help Patriots through this medium.

Most of you know most of my positions on most topics.  Some of you will never know.

With your help we have done some good work. 

Perhaps, soon, it will be time to focus on the local.

All of our projects will continue, from Idaho.  III Arms, III Society, III Chaplain Corps, et cetera.

Combatives will be offered at the Studio, Patriots are welcome.

Perhaps 4 1/2 years is enough.  Maybe there is value in continuing through the elections, which are 40 days away.  Perhaps serving until May, making it an even 5 years, is the prudent course.

Perhaps it is time to lower my profile a bit. The constant bickering and useless battles between Constitutionalists and secessionists and anarchists is old and stale.  Despite words to the contrary, secessionists and anarchists are not really willing to work alongside Constitutionalists to recover Liberty - at least not without persistent mockery and knee-capping.

Who needs it?  Good people are being funneled into a kill zone from within the "Liberty Movement".  I've warned, but I refuse to sit and watch.

Regurgitating acronyms serves as "training" for some.

Many Patriots are pushing the community to head into the shadows, especially online.  I am fundamentally opposed to the shadows unless you are working a caper.  Following the example of John Hancock is where safety exists for the Patriot.  Heading into the shadows, especially online, is to be funneled into the site of the ambush.

I'll serve my term in the III Society.  I'll continue IIIGear.  I'll continue to post here and there.  But I honestly can't see where it has helped any Patriots.

If you need good training for combat, go see J.C. Dodge at Mason Dixon Tactical and Max Velocity.  If you need fundamentals, leadership, and train the trainer skills, go see Tom at DTG.  If you need comms, go see Sparks31.  Need some Red and Blue Team action, go see Georgia Force on Force.  Need food?  Jebadiah Fisher Seed will square you away.  Spiritual guidance from a man who has been there and done it - go see Prepping Preacher at III Chaplain Corps.  Don't forget Bracken. If you need helpon the topic of Militias, Sandman is the Go To Patriot.

WRSA remains the muster point for Patriots.

III Society SWAG

Thank you all for your patience - nobody has been hammering my email looking for swag.

Getting the swag packaged and shipped is a one-man operation, on top of IIIGear, on top of closing here on the east coast, on top of Studio opening & relocation in St Maries, on top of trying to get the TOC up and running.  Thank you all for the patience.  It is coming, slowly but surely.

NC PatCon

As many of you know Holly and I have been stuck on the East Coast to close on our local home so we can break all ties with the DC Metro.  Everything was timed perfectly - we were supposed to close yesterday (Sept. 30) then head to Bock's and host class and show off the TOC, then head to Idaho. (The studio is finished renovations except our personal touches!)

Then Mr. Murphy raised his head - closing did not happen yesterday as planned.  Things are fluid and dynamic, and I simply can't take the chance of being in NC when the buyer decides to sit and sign paperwork and hand over a check - a check needed for Idaho, as you can imagine.

My deepest apologies to CQB Alum who planned to be there, and new students, and everyone that Holly and I were so looking forward to seeing one more time before heading west.  But it would just be very bad for me (and my family) to not be here when the final documents need to be signed.
