Constitution in Decline...

The US Constitution is waning as regards influence on other countries that are writing Constitutions.

Is it any wonder? Our own Political Class despises the document and principles, and Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg actively counsels foreigners to avoid our example.

Traitors, all.

Here's the stroy.

SHTF Firearms Selection

You like the .223 and the AR platform. You have a rifle and maybe a matching pistol, and a 5 gallon bucket of rounds.

You like the .45 ACP, have a pistol, parts, leather, mags, ammo.

But what happens in a field re-supply situation when you have blown through the .45 ammo in your Go Bag and you don't have the option of returning to get more.

Or, worse, you run dry and the Ruckus drags on longer than anticipated. You end up having to shoot the ammo you can find or take from Bad People.

Do you have a .40 in your arsenal, just in case you run dry of .45 ACP and can't get more?

Do you have a .380? .22? .308? .30-06? .32 ACP?

The point: If the world gets ugly you can count on factories to be in the control of the Bad People, and buying a fresh load of your favorite ammo from your favorite online source will not happen. You'll have to shoot what you find. If your only handgun is a slick Kimber .45, what happens when you come across a box of .38 Special?

Consider: Prudence would dictate adding pieces to your collection to take advantage of ammo you are most likely to find while out and about. A .357 revolver will shoot .357 and .38, while a .44 magnum revolver will shoot .44 mag and .44 special. .45 revolvers will feed a variety of .45 ammo loads.

It is beyond most budgets to buy the best firearm of every caliber. But a .410 single shot H&R with ammo for about $100 is a defensive tool, and an empty 12 gauge is a club.

Think about it.

Concerned American

Consider this from Concerned American:

Stick to your damned knitting, folks.

Resistance elements need to max their PT and other training/organization efforts, while continuing to work on their reconnaissance surveys.

Support elements need to focus on materiel preparation and storage efforts, along with acquisition and refinement of skills.

Propagandists need to keep their efforts focused on building effective resistance, rather than the utterly-futile political arena.

Polygonal Battlespace. You must be working on all fronts at the same time.

The only statement I would qualify regards the utter-futility of the political arena.

Voting will not get us out of our current problems. That is a fact. But there will be a political space after implosion/Ruckus/TEOTWAWKI and work now in the political space to lay the ground holds value, for me.

There are natural allies out there to reach before the world changes.

If you believe in the concept of Tribes, never forget that the biggest, best-organized, best-equipped Tribe on the field is the Tribe made up of the Political Class. They have the resources. They have manpower. They have tools. They have millions of people directly on their payroll, with tens-of-millions more dependent upon their favor. They have the ability to take control of many of the critical factories that feed preps today, from bullets to beans.

Do not relax on any front.

Remember, hundreds of hot-dog vendors were conscripted for nothing more than the license to sell hot dogs. Comply with the Political Class, or they pull your card.

That Tribe has serious power.

MAIG: Traitors

Tomorrow, every Patriot should send an email or written letter, or drop a phone call to the NFL and ask them when they intend to sue MAIG for Trademark Infringement.

If they do not, then the NFL stands in agreement with the right to infringe 2A.

No organization that endorses or accepts the silent infringement of Natural Rights is worthy of a dime of your money or support.

Patriots - are you willing to give up your sports for the principle of Constitutional Rights?

Big Brother: Better at 1984 than you think...

Remember the kid from Britain who was refused US entry based on his Tweet?

Now we have a businessman in Quebec who was nabbed for a text that he was going to "...blow away..." the competition at a trade show.

For those of you who dismiss FedGov's ability to watch and listen, perhaps it is time to calibrate your meter.

A random Tweet and a Text among co-workers becomes actionable intelligence, in a timely manner.

Sure, it can be defeated. It can be gamed.

But you underestimate their skillset at your peril.

Dems looking to 2016 already

The D's are already looking into the party to find their 2016 candidate.

Their reasoning: If President Obama loses in November, they'll need someone who can pick up the pieces and move forward. If the President wins in November, he's a lame duck and the future of the party is not Joe Biden.

Why is Politico floating this story now?

Perhaps I am being overly cynical, but I am not willing to rule out that this story is nothing more than a distraction. I do not think all D's are certain we'll have a 2016 election. I'm not saying they are all part of a conspiracy to overthrow elections. But how many would like that outcome? And, how many have concluded privately that economic implosion is imminent? I'd say that both of those numbers are significant, given the mad rush to install the assets of the Police State.

The heavy hand of a Police State is needed to protect the Political Class when the State devolves into mayhem and Anarchy comes to pass, because local governance fails.

What are the Continuity of Government plans, I wonder. Does our current crop of politicians consider themselves to be the last elected class? Will they lock down DC in a Green Zone fashion? Will they do the same to key locations across the country?

Of course, if implosion brings any of this to reality, the Political Class simply will not be able to remain safe, fed and warm. Food and heating oil and other essentials will have to be trucked in from the ungoverned areas. Those truckers, train conductors and pilots who agree to move the goods needed to keep a Green Zone functioning will soon find themselves homeless and without families.

End of mental meandering. I just don't buy into the concept that the D's are seriously looking for a 2016 political leader. I think they expect a new paradigm in America by then...

Here's the Politico piece.

Texans: Coastal PatCom

Craig is living up to his word and carrying the weight to host another PatCom.

If you are in or near Coastal Texas, or want to travel that way to meet serious Patriots, get in touch with Craig and work out the details.

This is Forward!

Bill set the example, and others are helping the Movement grow.

If Coastal Texas isn't possible for you, consider hosting a PatCom yourself. It doesn't have to be anything more than you and Patriots from your area meeting, shaking hands, looking into one anothers eyes and taking measure of those who share your values.

To each and every one of you, whether host or guest, Huzzah!

Laying the ground for violence along racial and economic lines...

All of this places a heavy burden on people who care about our nation. We must ensure that the 2012 elections are the most open and honest elections in U.S. history. Should Obama lose, I wouldn't put it past leftists, progressives, the news media and their race-hustling allies, as well as the president, to fan the fires of hate and dissension by charging that racists somehow stole the election, thereby giving support and excuses for the kind of violence and lawlessness that we've witnessed in flash mobs and Occupy Wall Street riots.

Walter Williams recognizes where the Left is headed.

The Enemies of Liberty are laying the ground for a final violent push to kill the last traces of Liberty and usher in the most tyrannical Police State the world will have ever seen.

Trust your instincts. Enemies are coming, and even if you do not go out in search of monsters to slay...the monsters will be coming for you. Why? Because you believe in Liberty, which is a barrier to absolute tyranny.

Once you are forced to action, win.

By any means necessary.

I hope all of you have worked through your position on CV. Now is the time. Wherever you choose to draw your line, whatever you decide is acceptable in defense of Liberty, in defense of your life and the lives of your family, in securing a future for your posterity that is not ruled by tyrants, now is the time to reach those conclusions.

Do not wait for the SHTF moment. When large and complex systems implode, it is usually a very fast affair. You may not have weeks of warning. This is your warning period, right now. When the markets crash, it will happen in hours and days, not weeks.

Here is the piece from Walter Williams. He knows where the Left wants to take the country, and he knows what they are willing to do, indeed what they are determined to do, to have their tyranny.

To the Koch brothers: Thank You

A decent opinion piece regarding the demonization of the Koch brothers, written by a Congressman.

Publicly I can say this: The Koch brothers are serious about Liberty, they are aware of the III and they are aware of III to Liberty. Now I must invoke Forest Gump: That's all I have to say about that...

We do not have many Liberty-minded heavy hitters, relatively speaking, in the business world.

The Left has many billionaires advocating Socialism and worse.

Consider sending a "Thank you" email or written note to the Koch brothers for their efforts to help keep Liberty alive.

Congress pushing for more domestic use of Drones...

The Department of Defense is pursuing its own domestic UAS activities for training purposes and “domestic operations,” according to a 2007 DoD-FAA memorandum of agreement.

There is a simple reason why the people in power are moving so rapidly to install a functioning Police State: They know the time is coming when their arses will be at risk from the mobs who will hold them responsible for the woes of the country. When the FSA misses a check, they will look at the Politicians first, and demand satisfaction. We know these folks won't hesitate to go to the homes of the people they despise, and the Political Class will be a despised class as soon as the checks and freebies are interrupted.

Take measures to avoid the stampeding herd, Patriots. And take measures now that will allow you to exploit the mayhem.

Here's the story about the drones.
