China: Buying the world with your dollars...

For all the hyperbole about China, their power exists merely in the number of boots they can put on the ground with an AK in hand.  And they have a few nukes.

But economically, what they have was given by American, and now European, Leftists.

China retruns to the Third World tomorrow if American Politicians choose to make it so.

But no current American Politicians choose to do so...the profit motive is going the other direction.

There is a cure, and a limited window for application.

You know what it is...

Here's the story from Drudge.

Tactical Question: Rhetorical if you wish...

Have you defined your AO, down to the street and treeline?

Do you have intimate knowledge of every OpFor resource and asset in your AO?

Do you have cataloged intel on every FreeFor resource and asset in the AO?

Do you know exactly how to deny your AO to outside players?  Do you have the manpower and materiel and the coordination to get it done?

Do you know the individuals you need to know, where they are, and where they will be?

More importantly...do they know you, where you will be, and how to take you out of play?

They've already war-gamed this many, many times.

If you haven't thought about it in proper detail, get to it.

If all you have done is think about it, you will lose.

Have you done it?

A few days ago I encouraged you to consider your first three direct action pieces of work if you were forced to step off the porch in 10 minutes.

Did you?  Do you know where you'll go, what you'll do, and more importantly, does your family know what and how to be safe while you are out in the AO?

There are many variables, sure.  But if you don't have a series of options ready to go based on the most likely variables, you'll be caught flat-footed and at a serious disadvantage.

The winners in this game are those who will think.

Human Nature & Conspiracies

Have you ever noticed (in others, of course, not yourself) that when the apparant facts do not fit with pre-conceived notions, the immediate cry is Conspiracy!

Anything less than men and women on the gallows for X or Y "crime" is the result of cover-up, pay-off, conspiratorial back-room deals, et cetera.

Somethimes, maybe even often, that is the case.  Many people do not face the full vulnerability for their actions because of who they know and who they can buy.  That is demonstrable fact in our history.

But, folks, sometimes, it really isn't a mass-scale grand conspiracy.  Sometimes, it's just a group of individuals, who may or may not be working together, driving for the same goal.

Sometimes the head of an Agency really didn't know the operational details, and many, many times the head of said Agency had no part in the creation of the Op at all.

Sure, you can make the argument that the Captain is responsible for the sailor who runs the Aircraft Carrier on the reef, even if the Skipper is asleep.  I get it.

But by the same token, let's not give too much intellectual credit to the Political Class for grand schemes - we know that most of them are mental midgets, we know the nature of a bureaucracy simply can not keep a secret, we know they are just not very focused.

Yes, conspiracies happen.  Yes, bad people cover for one another, sometimes.

But especially at the US National level, before we credit our Masters with conspiratorial brilliance over any/every scandal we don't like, let's examine more basic motives: Greed, profit, power. 

There are large forces pushing the world in directions they approve...

There are bad people working together...

The have a numerical advantage, though not an intellectual or Common Sense advantage.

But there is an answer, every single time... 

But the answer will never come from the sofa. One must muster the drive to get close and go to work...as many times as necessary.

Kerodin: Another Go Bag

This Go Bag has a purpose that is slightly different than the Maxpedition below.  You'll notice both Go Bags have been sanitized of gear on the outside before posting here online - no sense in advertising all my business.

I bought this Eagle A-III Pack about 6 years ago and it has served me without a single complaint.  I think Eagle is going out of business, which is a shame.  Their customer service has been great - I've been buying their gear for more than 20 years and I still own everything I've ever bought from them (and they are all still in great shape).

One complaint I have had for about 5 years, and I wrote Eagle about it, is that they have failed to keep up with the evolution of design and utility so many of their competitors have succeeded in mastering.  If you are searching for a pack/bag - consider the Eagle, but I honestly must counsel you to look at several brands before you hand over your dollars.  This is a very important purchase, and your survival may depend on the design you choose.

The A-III is a true 72 hour backpack, where the Maxpedition below is a 72 hour sling pack. 

Each has its place and purpose.

You won't go wrong with either product, depending on your needs.

One thing is certain: You need a serious Go Bag ready to go for immediate tactical action.  I set up all my bags for 72 hours of serious offensive and/or defensive action.  If you suddenly need to step off the porch, you need to reach for one pack and go.  Everyone in your Tribe needs the same ability.

Think about it.

Kerodin Go Bag

This is one of my Go Bags.  This one is from the good folks at Maxpedition. They sent it to me to test and feature.  As you can see, it still isn't even scuffed.

It is, however, still packed with all of the gear for my RTC trip to Atlanta (that I didn't make).

It's the Maxpedition Kodiak Gearslinger, located here at the Maxpedition site.

This is a serious piece of gear, folks.  I'll properly test it over the winter and give you updates.  It will be featured at the Go Bag site we are building as well as in a book project on the same topic.  I honestly haven't decided if this will go to my bride yet, or if she'll inherit my Eagle Alpha III...yeah, it's that good. 

If you have the chance to check one out at your local gear shop, do it.  It has room for everything you'll need for 72 hours of offense or defense.  I'll give you more insight as I put it through its paces.

The Tech War Against Liberty

Homeland Security is working with private enterprise to integrate streetlights with sensors and other techie whizbangs that will help Uncle Sugar thwart you and your Tribe.

We'v e talked about this here and across our community recently.  I know that many of you don't see this as a noose tightening.  We'll have to agree to disagree.

But here is something I know as fact: All the technology in the world will not help an enemy once you get close enough to smell his fear.

Alan Mullenax nailed the concept: Get close and go to work.  That 600 yard rifle carried by LEO is useless against the man slipping a rear naked choke into place.

You want to beat the tech - learn to get wet, Patriots.

Here's the story, and be aware, the private sector company involved seems to be very scared that you know what they are up to.  They've apparently pulled youtubes and engaged in other manners of hiding.

Smart.  You do not want to be complicit when the trials begin...

But the bigger lesson is this: the Private Sector will help our Masters enslave you for profit.

Rich offers one consideration:

This idiot wants Pat Buchanan fired.

Do the arithmetic...who'd make up the tax revenue to the Treasury that Pat generates?  No Communist garbage would ever work that hard.

Silly Communist.  He does not belong here.  There will come time, in my lifetime, when he and his ilk are not welcome.  Leaving then will be more difficult and uncomfortable for people like him.

III Percent Platform: Our Book

Remember, III to Liberty: The Fight to Restore the Constitution is our book.

Hundreds and hundreds of you voted through polls to help shape the content and lay out our positions, staking out our piece of real estate on the political spectrum.

I mention it only because my bride visited a local gun shop this afternoon, and I hit a surplus store and dropped off complimentary copies.  The sales clerks/managers loved it.  We invited them to read the book, and sell it as an impulse purchase at the register...of course we pointed out they could re-supply at wholesale at IIIPercent.com when they want to sell more copies.

Have you considered buying a dozen at IIIPercent.com ($66) and handing a copy or two to each of your local gun shops or surplus stores?  Spreading our message is important.

I wish I could make them all free.  I would if I could.  But if you give your favorite gun shop 2 copies he'll sell them and then re-order, and our message will slowly reach beyond our blogs...

Think about it.

Here's the Amazon retail link.

No Right to be in America

Call me what you will - but being born here does not make one an American.

This woman deserves to be run out of the country.

I was present in every one of Pat Buchanan's Presidential bids in 1992, 1996 and 2000.

At one of his get togethers I met an old US Marine,  He was a WWII Vet, like my Grandfathers and like so many of the men I grew up around at the VFW.

He said something to me that I have never forgotten, and today his words will be understood by every Patriot in our Community.  He said: Every Communist nation in the world has a Ministry of Propoganda, or something like it.  In America we have the Department of Education.

And Debbie Wasserman Schultz today labelled the 2nd graders she met as "...little Democrats..."

That old Marine was right.  Soon it will be our turn to wear his boots, and we will not have to ship overseas to engage the Enemies of America.

Do you understand?

From Concerned American: The Polygonal Battlespace

Restoration will never be a brief dust-up with Patriots & Good Ol' Boys against a few uniformed LEO and Liberty-hating politicians.

No, sir.

If we are to ever have Liberty again the Ruckus will make Messers Jefferson, Fanklin, Parker, et al, weep.

Today, just pick three random places and stop, then turn 360 degrees and look at the Souls around you.

You'll probably not find one single "American" in your midst who understands or wants Constitutional Liberty.

I have personally been in a few fights.  Some have been downright nasty, even by my standards.  More than a few should have been my final moments on this plane of existence.

What is coming will spare none.

The Webley #5 Frontier is a real saloon brawler’s gun: a compact, powerful belt pistol dating from about 1878.

I am a fan of Antique Firearms, cartidge types like the Webley .455/.476 and also cap and ball like the Walker.  The Howdah .50 is a mean beast all its own.

The first revolvers I ever owned were .44 Walkers and I loved them.  My uncle wanted me to start with the basics.  He taught me two-handed shooting with those revolvers.

Due to my current legal restrictions and the fact that I do not intend to violate any firearm laws at the present time; I am educating myself.  Truth be told, it is new knowledge and I am very impressed with what I am finding.

I have no intention with turning this website into an Antique spot, but I think it is germain to point out that the glock armed bad guy is equally matched with the Walker armed good guy who is smart.  Make no quick judgements about those who may end up in your tribe with older "inferior" gear.  And the Patriot armed with an antique C96 Mauser...

The brain is a far more effective weapon than the firearms, knife, bludgeon in your hand.

Here is a quote from a guy with consideranble experience with the standard .455/.476 loag of the Webley: The Webley #5 Frontier is a real saloon brawler’s gun: a compact, powerful belt pistol dating from about 1878.  Here is the full piece, and worth a read for general knowledge.

Here's a good column about firearms powered by black powder.

Never let conventional wisdom limit your potential.

Islam Rising

Regular readers here and at Kerodin.com know I took the position long ago that President Obama's agenda in the Muslim World, the Arab Spring, his agenda toward Israel, et al, are all a calculated, determined effort to empower Islam and to unleash their sickness upon the world.

Whether you think such moves are fabrications of transnational Masters or not is moot - the effect is the same and it is real, and it is working.  They have Korans, AK's, manpower, and true belief.  They believe they have the grace of God on their side.

Islam now controls the assets of several very powerful militaries.  They control nuclear weapons.  They now have the tax base of several of the richest nations on the planet.  And only a fool would discount that they are sincere about subjugating the planet.

If one equates Islam  to fire, one must recall General Washington's counsel: Fire is a handy servant and a dangerous Master.

One thing we know, our Masters have proven time and again that in their hubris they have demonstrated an absolute incompetence to handle the powers they unleash in the world.  They think they can handle the fire.

Islam is not an immediate threat to our republic for this generation, even with the fools in our midst who try to advance that cause.  But left unchecked, they will butcher our posterity.

Your immediate threat is your neighber, your bankster, your politician.  But educate your children that in their lifetimes they will face the task of returning the influence of Islam at least a thousand years into the past.

If we are to make that possible for our posterity, we must clear the way for them and be rid of those today who claim to be Masters, those who would use the tool of Islam as a weapon.

Across North Africa and the Middle East, Southern Asia, and with heavy infiltrations into Europe, Islam is changing the tenor of the planet.

End it, now, while you are alive.

If not you, then who?  Only coward let others handle their responsibilities.

I encourage you to click on Drudge right now and look at the expression on our President's face and the headline about Islam Rising.

It is our watch.  Will we fail history, will we fail our children, will we fail our Souls...

Will we fail our Creator?

Occupy DC

As planned, my bride and I went into DC on business yesterday (Saturday).

We were looking for the Occupy DC folks as we travelled our path.  We came in through Georgetown, crossed the Golden Triangle, had two appointments on Capitol Hill, then drove out of town back across the Golden Triangle (the "business section of DC), across DuPont Circle, and out Connecticut Avenue.  My route included passing the White House, the National Mall, the Capitol, et cetera.

We did not see a signle sign, a single tent, a single hippie, Commie, or other political genetic waste.

Note: We did not drive by McPherson Square, where they supposedly have their tents. 

But any protest in DC that does not involve Capitol Hill, the White House or K Street (Where the Lobbysists have their offices) is...well...a tourist visit.

The word I think most fitting: impotent.

I am scheduled to be down there again this week one or two days, if time permits I'll make a special trip to McPherson Square and see what the lay of the land may be.
