All power flows from the muzzle of a weapon...


Remember, as we pontificate over what is right or wrong, moral or not, Constitutional or unconstitutional, which branch may do what, when and how, this one simple reality: The Executive Branch has all of the guns and bullets.

Judicial, Legislative & Executive Branches are equal, only so long as the Executive chooses to permit that facade to remain in place.

You've seen the DHS stories about .40 cal ammo purchases.

You know what they intend to do. You know why they are buying bullet-resistant cubbies.

My question to you goes back to a conversation we had a few weeks ago: Does your arsenal include anything that can eat .40's? Do you have body armor that can stop .40's?

Think about it.

Skinheads and Black Panthers = Targets of Opportunity



War Hustlers at work.

Update: The Feds are already using the opportunity in Tulsa (where white killed black)...just guess where this one is going, folks.

From Kenny: Black idiots are beating white people down.

From Brock: White idiots are killing black people.

Skinheads "patrol" Sanford, Florida, as the town goes on high alert for their Zimmerman decision.

Patriots: You are living in the days before a major war. There will soon come a moment when you can no longer have the luxury of signing online and scanning WRSA or flipping to Fox News, because the world will be convulsing.

When it is over, will you remember how these people started it all?

Make sure they are all in ditches, and then teach the children as best you can to avoid the same mistakes.

The details may be lost. Whatever actually triggers the war will simply provide cover for some people who are filled with irrational hatred to lash out. Make no mistake, the idiot skinheads will use an economic implosion to kill black folk, and many such groups, from across racial, ethnic and religious lines, will take advantage of circumstances for their own ends.

Patriots should be prepared to take advantage of targets of opportunity when they present.

Can you see it?


Something Jimmy the Saint mentioned at this thread, here, at WRSA tickled a memory that I couldn't pinpoint.

He mentioned Julius Streicher, and I had to go hunting to find what it was that eluded me.

Then I remembered, and found it: "The Bolsheviks will hang you one day!"

Those were Julius Streicher's final words before being hanged for Crimes against Humanity.

As Curtis might say: And here we are...

Look at the ten goals of Communism below.

We are being buried. The enemy is among us.

Below are the 10 points laid out by Marx.

Consider them and consider where the nation is today in reference to each.

Then, consider for each of the points which of our political parties advocate for policies and programs to achieve the stated goals.

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.

5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.

6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.

7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.

8. Equal liability of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.

10. Free education for all children in public schools.


It is right in front of us all to see.

Patton knew it. Julius Streicher knew it.

You and I are living it.

If you still must ask who is a legitimate combatant, I can't help you.

Hoodies: Now or Never



UPDATE: Folks - I need some help with the hoodies. 42 of you said you wanted to order, and to date 9 have stepped up. I need to hit a minimum of 24 or this is a No-Go.

If you want a hoodie, please step-up and place your order so we can get this off my desk. Read the details below about color options.

If we can't hit our minimum very soon, I'm just going to pull the plug and start refunding people their money.

Remember, I am not running a store, here.

The idea is cohesion and morale. The meager profit left from each sale is used to finance the work being done by the 527.

Frankly, it's becoming more aggravation than it is worth.

If you want a hoodie, let's please get it done.

K

~~

I spoke with our printer and we are going to work together to give everyone color choices.

I am NOT going to add a PayPal button for every color combination. You'll simply use the existing PayPal button selections at IIIGear.com and select pullover/zipper and then size.

When you order at PayPal you can add a note and simply type in what color you want.

Here are the color options:

White Hoodie w/black ink
Ash Hoodie w/black ink
Pink Hoodie w/black logo
Black Hoodie w/white logo
Royal Blue Hoodie w/white logo
Red Hoodie w/white logo
Forest Green Hoodie w/white logo

Your order form will say you ordered black - ignore it.

For you folks who have already ordered, just let me know if you want to change your color choice. Kerodin@Kerodin.com

527 Orders


Sending some stuff out this weekend, folks.

The first batch of Zoomie's great stickers are in my shop, and the Act I stickers are en route. If you've ordered both, I'll probably hold shipment until everything is in. I'm also waiting for Condor to send me hats, so if your order includes Tac Caps, it is probably still here in the shop.

If you have ordered III Resist stickers, I have placed an order for a professional batch, so I am holding those orders. I'd rather send you the new ones than the Avery's we've been using.

Cold Steel order: Has been placed. Please remember that once I get your piece in my shop it has to go for engraving, then shipping to you. So, be patient. ;)

I'll be posting a hoodie update in a moment.

Thanks to all. Order more Zoomie stickers, folks! They make a GREAT impression for the III to the world.

Look for the Premise...always



In any circumstance, gut-check your First Principles, and if confused, look carefully for the Premise.

Refuse to be suckered.

Here is an excellent article written by Paul Craig Roberts about False Flag Ops.

There are many groups in America who want blood to be spilled, for their own reasons. There are blacks who hate whites. We have whites who hate blacks. Jews are hated by some. Some seek the rise of Islam in America. Some seek Implosion. Some seek Communism.

And yes, some seek Liberty and may even contemplate starting a Ruckus for their ends.

Some just want to start a fight for the sake of starting a fight.

Be your own American. Do not be a Useful Idiot for anyone.

Truth from Babylon


I've written on this topic, but it has been a while. Most of it is over at Kerodin.com - I seem to have backed-off much of the practical/tactical here on the blog.

The post over at Babylon is dead-on.

I will add: In today's world there is no reason you should not get a heads-up the moment the vans pull up to your curb in the 'burbs. Outdoor quality, low-light video cams are cheap and wiring them to a monitor is cheap and simple. You can get eyes well beyond your walls.

Entry: Delay, delay, delay. That is the key. As noted in the column, these guys have a script in their heads. They are NOT good at sudden, unexpected anamolies in their routine. Slow them down so it takes longer than one swing to blow your door from hinges. Fishing line is a great tripwire and will drop them in a heap.

But while they are outside, stacking at your door, consider what defensive measures you could have installed with a gallon jug of gasoline, some copper pipe, a Chevy fuel pump, spark plug and 12 volt lantern battery. Even if you do not have a source of ignition in place - men suddenly doused in gasoline will be hesitant to start letting AR muzzles flash...

Electricity is a great friend of the home defender. With just a little knowledge, a set of window bars (that you can make removable) or even a thin, exposed wire stretched like a tripwire across a window sill, you can make the wire hot. It won't hurt a single Soul until they hit the wire and complete the circuit to ground...

That'll slow 'em down and encourage them to regroup behind the Command Van for a few minutes, until the negotiator arrives.

Remodeling? What about a firemans pole in your Master closet to the basement, so you can be where they do not expect you? How about a few panels of 1/4" steel under strategic pieces of drywall, giving you good E&E lanes of egress, if you need it.

Think about it. None of this stuff is beyond the average guy who knows how to wire a light socket.

The key, however, is always mental: Attack. If they mean to have war, give it to them until you are dead.

F 'em.

If economic Implosion is the train barreling toward us, and we know we have only moments, months, or maybe a few years...

...what is the best use of that precious time to help your family/Tribe to survive?

How many years would it take you to reverse decades of indoctrination by the State upon the jellied brains of even one FSA idiot? Patriots cannot compete with the propaganda machine of the State and break through a lifetime of programming.

Zoomie's Graphic lead me to this thought...



Memento Mori - Remember you must die...

That has been my guiding principle in life since I was a very young man stepping on the dojo mat for the first time.

Bill Nye expressed the concept quite a while ago in a way that still sticks with me, because he gets it. He counted how many more gardens he likely had remaining...



I have posted a few times on the memento mori premise, many folks find facing their own mortality a bit too gloomy. But folks, with what is coming at us, you'd better find a way to square that discomfort away. It is probably easiest for the parents among us. Do what you must for your children, so that when you must leave them in this world, you have made it as safe as possible for them.

There is a Big Die Off coming hard for humanity.

See all those folks at the 99% rallies? 99% of them are walking dead men, right now. They simply have no clue it is coming. I can lump in a very large part of the "NRA Right" to that group of walking dead men, too.

The economy will implode. Angry people will become hungry and then diseased. This will hit the Western World the hardest (the Third World already lives that life every day, they may not even notice).

You have finite resources. No matter how well prepped you are, you simply will not be able to save all of your friends and family who have failed to prepare.

You will have to be hard.

You will have to close the door in their face.

Every meal you give that person is one fewer for your child.

Are you ready to draw steel on your brother or sister to save your son?

Hard f'n days are ahead, folks.

You are going to have to be one hardcore S.O.B. to bring your family through it - and even then it won't always be enough. You will lose some, and in many cases they will lose you.

Don't waste your time on those who are already dead.

Think about it.

Impact is Imminent


We have arrived at the fail-safe point of the American republic. If we do not roll back government now, we will end up having to do it the way they are doing it in Italy, Spain and Greece, accompanied by riots in the streets.

Read those words and understand they come from one of the sharpest political minds since Jefferson. They come from a man who has been a serious player in several White House Administrations. They come from, in my opinion, the one man who could have set America on a proper course had he been elected when we had the chance.

How do you get what you want when every other indicator is against you: Lie


Every real financial indicator out there says we are still in serious decline, blowing more bubbles, and in serious denial.

The President needs the Unemployment rate to drop. You see, the mass of his voters only listen to what he says - they do not look with their own eyes.

How, then, to keep the Unemployment number dropping in the face of reality?

Simply lie. Do not count people.

We now have a record 88 million people not being counted.

That is how you get a declining Unemployment number in the face of economic Implosion.

How many chains bind you...



How many facets of your life in which you voluntarily engage are genuine requirements of living versus mere constructs of others designed to make you behave in a desired fashion?

Think about it. You do not need a Driver's License to drive, do you? Does that piece of plastic in your wallet (or lack thereof) make you a better driver?

Yet the concept of having a State-issued Driver's License is so fundamental to the average American that not having one not only closes many of life's doors to you, but also makes the average American feel somehow less than his peers.

No, I am not making a Sovereign Citizen argument, here. Far from it.

My point is simply that the act of driving does not require, in a literal sense, a piece of plastic in your wallet, any more than riding a horse 150 years ago required State permission.

The perceived need for having a State-Approved Driver's License is so pervasive that even folks who claim to be advocates for Liberty take the position that you must show your State-issued permission slip to vote, or to open a bank account, or buy alcohol, or...the list goes on.

When a fallacy becomes accepted as a fundamental aspect of Citizenship, you truly do not have Liberty in any sense. You have a group of well-trained and well-behaved slaves.

And Slave isn't even the proper term, anymore.

You see, all in society today, all of the constructs, are designed to keep you productive so the State can keep revenue flowing into the Treasury.

It's all about the power to tax and the effort required to collect those taxes.

When you eagerly walk into the MVA and pay them for a permission slip, collecting the tax is easy. The State doesn't have to work hard at all, do they? You show up and pay your fee, so you can keep your license and keep buying your beer, or whatever else you want to do that "requires" ID.

Take a moment and think of all the things you do and for which you pay that the State takes a cut, or will ban you from playing.

Don't show your ID - you do not fly. You may not leave the country or return. You may not bank, vote, drive, buy a beer, buy a firearm...

At how many actions does a man at genuine Liberty bend knee and ask the State permission?

Am I suggesting that you drop off the grid? Nope. That is retreat.

Ignore them whenever and wherever you choose.

But do not accept the system since you know it is merely a construct to enslave you.

Force the system to change. Embrace your inner FU attitude! Push Back! Be offended that they even try this crap on you! Defend your neighbors from these bullies, as best you can.

And for folks who give me an excuse for why the State is correct and justified in imposing its will on your need to supply ID, or earn a license to be a plumber, or pay the State a licensing fee to hold a yard sale, I can argue from Liberty an alternative that will ensure "public safety" or whatever BS reason is given for the enslavement.

I am astonished and disappointed to a profound level when I hear people on "the Right" talk about the need to impose requirements to show your papers in order to vote! Can't you see how far down the road to abject slavery you have willingly walked once you take that position?!

Change the system. Do not settle for just beating it. Why let Tyrants have a single f'n toe-hold anywhere in America?! This is OUR land, and Tyrants are NOT welcome. Make them STFU, leave, or face a Free Man.

Afterall, it is your Right as an American to live free and at Libery. (I don't care much about other Tribes, let them work out their own problems.) We even have a set of documents that explicitly detail the few acts of Government that are permissable.

Why did the Founders & Framers not require State-issued ID? Why did they explicitly forbid direct taxation from the Federal level? Why did they not require young horsemen to paper-up before riding dad's plow horse into town?

Refusing to participate is ok, but it is not enough. The noose tightens daily to ensure you play by the rules of the State.

Dio recently hosted an excellent discussion about the need to, somehow, ensure that those who get to vote have some skin in the game.

The Constitution is silent on the issue, having left voting requirements to the States.

How much sense does it make to permit thieves to vote when the only issue on the ballot is how much they may steal from you this cycle? That's what our voting system is, today, when folks who do not pay taxes go to the polls. They are voting for more Government handouts, which Government employees (elected and hired) must then provide by stealing from the productive.

But now we get back to the machine of artificial constructs in place, like the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits the States from excluding folks from the polls.

Why would such a piece of legislation be put in place?

Why, Fairness, of course. Kerodin, you are such a mean SOB - why not let everyone vote?

Because, my friends, too many who vote pull levers for those who will steal more.

The only way to get the thieves out of the system is to remove as much profit motive as possible. The profit motive exists in the stolen revenue they call taxes.

The Constitution prohibits direct taxation. (Ignore the 16th Amendment - this is why ...as ratified... matters)

So, politicians who support direct taxation are violating the Constitution. Call it a High Crime or Misdemeanor - I don't care. I call it Treason, for it is making war upon the republic to undermine its most fundamental law and seeking to destroy it.

My point comes back to this: Examine what you are doing for 2 days, everything. Ask why you are doing it. Is it because to live you must do the act?

Or are you doing it because some bureaucrat, politician or other thief has made you think you need to do it...or told you to do it at the muzzle of a weapon.

I'll leave you with Sam Adams to contemplate the rest of your life: If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Arab Spring? Not so much. Try Muslim Spring...

So yesterday, it is announced that representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood will be going to the White House.

Today, a rocket hits Israel from Sinai...which you will remember Israel was forced to return to Egypt once already ..."for peace".

F that.

I do not care what you think of Israel. She has powerful numbers of people on her borders who want every non-Muslim dead. She has very powerful people across the globe, including in Washington DC who want the Muslims to win in that cause.

Should Americans go and fight? Nope. Should American tax dollars be used to give Israel weapons or anything else? Nope.

Should America sell Israel whatever she wants to buy? Yep.

Should Americans shut their pie-holes and let Israel handle her business and defend herself from an existential threat?

Yep.

My counsel to Bibi would be simple, and I am serious, I am not resorting to rhetoric: Test a tactical nuke in a place where there will be minimal damage (hopefully no loss of life).

And then tell the world you will make the pyramids radioactive for the next few hundred years the next time a rocket lands in Israel. Or the same treatment for Amman, or pick-a-capital.

Read the Suicide Note and find a way to understand...



"The Tsolakoglou government has annihilated all traces for my survival, which was based on a very dignified pension that I alone paid for 35 years with no help from the state. And since my advanced age does not allow me a way of dynamically reacting (although if a fellow Greek were to grab a Kalashnikov, I would be right behind him), I see no other solution than this dignified end to my life, so I don’t find myself fishing through garbage cans for my sustenance. I believe that young people with no future, will one day take up arms and hang the traitors of this country at Syntagma square, just like the Italians did to Mussolini in 1945" ~ the suicide note of Dimitris Christoulas.

The Bad People do not care.

The man had lived up to his part of the bargain with the Greek Government, the social compact.

Yes, he has only himself to blame for signing on to a compact that is arithmetically doomed to fail. But I suspect, having read his note, that he entered into the agreement with his Government in Good Faith.

He did his part and others ran away with what he'd been promised.

So, he ate a bullet to preserve his dignity.

You and I, Patriot, were born into an America that understands the folly of Socialism. We have been able to see it at arms length, rather than being born fully into it.

Yet our own hucksters, politicians and Banksters want us to take the same deal.

F that.

If I ever eat a bullet, it'll be the last one in the mag and I'll be taking the trip to Hell with at least a few of the bastards.

Do not let them do to America what they have done to Greece.

Do not let them do to you and yours what they did to Dimitris Christoulas.

If Team Liberty doesn't get it, who does?



Folks, the Supreme Court was not given the Authority to decide the Constitutionality of any law beyond the Judiciary. Under the Constitution, it is a complete fallacy that the role of the Supreme Court is to decide what is, and is not, Constitutional, for either of the other equal branches.

The Supreme Court claimed that power in Marbury v. Madison - they elevated themselves above the Executive and Legislative. It was a power play and it worked.

Period.

And the Federalists were the first group to use that fallacy as a weapon. Today it is the sine qua non, the nuclear weapon, with which the Enemies of Liberty have gutted the republic. The moment that We the People understand that the limits of the Judiciary extend only to the Judiciary, and can not bind the Executive or Legislative, then the power to enslave Citizens dies instantly.

Until you understand that fundamental fact there can be no forward progress toward Restoration. Scroll through the BlogRoll on the far right column and look at how many of "our" Bloggers buy into the premise that the Framers intended that the Supreme Court could shut down either the Executive or Legislative. It only gets worse as you look into the "NRA-Type" Bloggers who believe it to be Gospel.

My disappointment is profound. If our Community is the most ardent group who intend to support and defend the Constitution, yet we do not understand it at a fundamental level, what's the f'n point?

Such people have permitted the Constitution to be defined for them, rather than simply reading the text and using their own braincase. You were told in elementary school that the branches of Government are equal. You were told that one of the vital "Checks and Balances" between the Branches is that the Supreme Court is the final arbiter of what is, and is not, Constitutional.

Connect those dots and tell me the arithmetic works. It does not.

By the way, those same teachers also told you Lincoln was a great man, and the Constitution is a Living Document.

Consider: Jefferson believed there was a horizontal set of checks and balances, with the three branches checking each other, though only "in their own sphere of action."

The Judiciary could overrule a lower court on a case. It could not, in his opinion, rule on acts of the Legislature or Executive.

The Executive could refuse to implement a law it believed to be unconstitutional.

Jefferson also believed there was a vertical set of checks and balances. States are bound by the Constitution as well, but a state could refuse to comply with a Federal law it considered unconstitutional.

All powers not expressly granted to the Federal government were reserved for the states; states could enact their own laws about matters over which the Federal government has no jurisdiction.

In support of this I offer an excerpt from one letter from Jefferson to Mrs. John Adams regarding the Sedition Acts: You seem to think it devolved on the judges to decide on the validity of the Sedition law.

But nothing in the Constitution has given them a right to decide for the Executive, more than the Executive to decide for them. Both magistrates are equally independent in the sphere of action assigned to them.

The judges, believing the law constitutional, had a right to pass a sentence of fine and imprisonment; because the power was placed in their hands by the Constitution. But the Executive, believing the law to be unconstitutional, were bound to remit the execution of it; because that power has been confided to them by the Constitution.

That instrument meant that its coordinate branches should be checks on each other.

But the opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional, and what not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action, but for the Legislature and Executive also, in their spheres, would make the judiciary a despotic branch.


No wonder so many people in our community despise the Constitution - they have no idea how it is supposed to work, on the most fundamental level.

When I say that the US Constitution is the finest document ever created by Man as a tool for a People of Liberty to self-govern, I have no doubt. Perhaps those who disagree with me would change their minds if they'd take a few minutes to read and understand the darned document, instead of loving the Supreme Court when they rule in favor of 2A and hating the Court when they rule Against 2A.

You see, folks, the Supreme Court has no business in 2A, or 1A, or HealthCare...not when it comes to nine people telling us what the Constitution means and forcing us to abide their will. If you cheer when SCOTUS crushes ObamaCare, you'd better not grumble when they support the next AWB. See, you've already bought into the premise. It was never set up that way to begin with...no matter what your school teachers, or the Establishment, or the Court may tell you.

If the Framers had wanted an Oligarchy, they'd have written a much shorter document.

Folks, I am placing an order with Cold Steel tonight. Let's call it midnight Eastern (9 for you folks on the West Coast)

I do not place an order the moment someone orders from IIIGear - if I have the item in stock we are all good. But I have a $250 minimum purchase every time I go to Cold Steel, I can't just order 1 tomahawk, for instance.

So, I am ordering tonight to fill a few orders that have come in this week. If you have been thinking about a Cold Steel order, tonight is the night. Either order directly from IIIGear.com or you can let me know what you want from Cold Steel's homepage. Let me know what item you want, and I'll email you with our price.

What would it take?


A while ago we explored how many Patriots were really involved in laying the ground for the shooting part of RevWarI - the folks who went to places like the Green Dragon Tavern, the folks who went aboard the ships in Boston and dumped tea, the folks who burned the homes of tax collectors and Governors. That link is here.

The number is minute, in terms of percentages, and the same arithmetic would apply today.

What would it take, today, to actually get the herd moving off the couch and into the streets, looking for food, or medicine, or any other requirement of life sufficient to start a cascade failure of the system, leading to Implosion?

Was your life in Washington State affected by Katrina? How about you folks in Philadelphia?

Did the LA Riots of '92 affect the ability to get California produce on the shelves in grocery stores on the east coast?

Our system is dynamic, and able to absorb disruptions to some extent. If ships can't get into New Orleans, they go to the nearest ports that still have working infrastructure. Instead of California produce leaving via Long Beach, they go to SD or further north.

But could the system compensate for 2 Katrina-scale disruptions simultaneously? 3? 5?

Everything in America rides on a truck, pulled by a trucker, at some point in its travels from A to Z. What would it take to stop trucks from getting into areas that produce food, or getting to places that consume food?

How many large events in rapid succession would it take before you went to the bank and demanded your cash, along with your neighbors, that leads to a cascade failure of the economy, further causing problems for the truckers who are still able to move, but can't get fuel in their trucks because of bank holidays?

Just how fragile is our system?

You and I already know the answer.

You and I also know that very powerful forces in America, Enemies Foreign & Domestic, are striving diligently to hit critical mass and send us into a glide path that can only result in a crater.

ObamaCare could kindle a serious Constitutional Crisis, all by itself, that leads to a Ruckus. Now tack on a bank holiday. Now add a gasoline refinery going offline. Now tack on a...

We simply are not very far from complete chaos.

It is in the chaos that Liberty will find opportunity and peril.

Are you ready?

Really, really ready? Or are you just discussing how many Angels can fit on the head of a pin on III/Prepper/NRA sites as others work toward tangible action?

Talking is fine, folks. But talk while you work.

Every day, advance your ability to survive in some tangible manner.

It is that serious. It is that close.

And there are serious people who want it...so it will happen.
