One man can make a difference.

Let us band together and unleash the power of III.

III: We need to meet?

Folks, several of you whom I consider to be very serious have requested face-to-face discussions about recent topics.

I know many of you are too far away - but how many of you within communting range of DC think we should get face-to-face to discuss the Citadel concept? It doesn't need to be DC, I can travel too.

Let me know how many of you think it is a good idea. If so, I'd really like you to include FFL friends, and anyone else you think may be seriously interested.

You can post here or send me an email: Kerodin@Kerodin.com

Remember, I'll be here November 2 & 3 as well, if you think it can wait. But I will be making serious Gun Company moves long before then...

The Strength of Liberty is in what we Build

This concept is far too broad and nuanced to be properly offered in a single post, even in a long series of posts. But I will try to get the essence out there.

We train to destroy. Our martial skills, whether they are with pistol or tomahawk, knife or bare hands, we train to kill or maim an enemy.

Good Souls train to kill for good reasons, to protect life and loved ones.

Bad Souls kill for profit and power and those things we generally call Evil.

Our power, Patriots is Love. This is the essence of the ugly skills we have sought to learn in our lives: The ability to destroy so that we may protect that which we love.

In this fight for Liberty we will be required to destroy Enemies of Liberty, to be sure. But for many reasons (simple numerical disadvantage among them) our path to victory does not lie in stacking mountains of Evil People. Our path to Liberty does not lie simply in killing those who would kill or imprison our allies. Yes, we will be forced to fight, to kill in defense, and at times to take the offensive and kill the Enemies of Liberty in their lairs, when they sleep, when they pose no immediate threat to us.

But our true strength, our true path to victory is in what we can build in the face of their Evil. To secure Liberty we must build something which thinking men and women, a portion of our Countrymen, covet. We must create more than we destroy. In our creation we offer people a choice.

There will be many who choose the path of ease, the path of the barbarian who takes what he covets from those who are weaker.

Yet I believe in my heart that there remain many Americans who will choose the path of kindness and honest work and benevolence if the option is presented.

Everywhere in America the Enemies of Liberty have built a system that rewards indifference to our fellow Citizens, a system of Zero Sum, a system of do unto others before they do unto you.

Yet we who believe in Liberty and humanity still have a powerful means of offering an alternative to that paradigm. In our hearts you and I would shelter the homeless, warm the cold, feed the hungry, heal the sick. That is our strength.

When I speak of building a Citadel I speak both rhetorically and literally. Somewhere between is reality. If you and I and those who think the way we do join together and build a community that showcases our values and rejects the values of the Bad People, if we create an oasis of benevolence where self-sufficiency is rewarded by people who are willing to help one another, we will create a place that stands in defiance to the world being created by the Bad People.

We will be forced to do violence to achieve our goal. Bad People will seek to destroy our efforts. For the sake of Love we will be forced to employ our most violent capabilities until Bad People kill us, or choose to let us alone.

I have come to the conclusion that a martial Citadel is our last real hope for Liberty. I have come to believe thatmany will ally against us and we will be forced to hunt our enemies beyond our walls and FUBAR their Command Structure.

But we will do these things for Love. We will do what we must so we may teach our children unmolested by the State. We will do what we must so we may live in Liberty.

And once their house of cards, their economic system collapses, as it one day must, we will be safe behind our walls. We will have arms we make in our factory. We will have food we grow in our secured fields.

And we will provide a model for others who seek the same.

It is for Love that I have dedicated most of my adult life to the ways and means of breaking people. Many of you have done the same.

It is for Love and for Liberty I propose that we get serious about the concept of a Citadel.

It is for Love and for Liberty that I propose we build, rather than devote our efforts to tearing down the Enemies of Liberty around us...they will do that job themselves.

Think about it.

Marine Corps creates law enforcement battalions

Do you understand yet?

YOU are an Enemy of the State, Patriot.

You will face military personnel and hardware unless we change the political will of the nation.

Here's the story.

"One armed Citizen wouldn't have made a difference..."

How many blogs have you read that bullshit on today?

I've seen it from "SF" vets and LEO and "NRA Instructors" about how John Q. Public simply wouldn't have had the skill to "make that shot."

Fucking elitist idiots. Every time you open your fucking mouth with that garbage you support the "Let's make everyone take a course before they can exercise 2A" argument that WILL BE part of the post-election political onslaught.

You take ANY SINGLE MAN OR WOMAN in that theatre who cleared leather and started dumping a single-stack magazine at the shooter/muzzle flashes in the aisle and you would have changed his Laissez-faire attitude right fucking now and gave more people the chance to clear the exits. You just fucked up his shooting of fish in a barrel. You changed the paradigm. Then you reload, close the gap and kill him or he kills you. If you are still alive when you get to him, reload and empty your weapon again.

You want X Ring perfection, stay on the fucking course shooting paper and self-righteously shouting "EYE-PRO/EAR-PRO" to the guy who chooses not to wear glasses and muffs while shooting.

But don't you dare push the meme that "only the trained/best/LEO/vets" even had a chance in that theatre you pompous fucks.

20 citizens laying down a field of fire would have ended Holmes like Bill Nye's frog that has been dissected too much - a mushy cold cut. Yes, there may have been some friendly fire. Yes, it would have still been bad. Yes, shots would have gone wide.

I swear to All that is F'n Holy I hate you pompous "I'm a trained shooter and thus better than you" assholes more than I even hate the Constitution-breaking LEO.

You are supposed to know better.

You are just as elitist as the "Only Ones" with your state-approved carry permission slip in your wallet. You think you are Free? You think you are better than the guy who straps up in a No-Gun zone against the laws, and you know you do. You pay to play, and then you look down at those who learned to shoot from Uncle Tom rather than your beloved card-carrying NRA Instructor or Drill Instructor. You look down at the guy who refuses to ignore buying the permits to carry.

Your shit stinks, too - and worse than many Useful Idiots.

Law & Order fucks. You are 60% of the problem in this country.

III Patriots

The 527 needs to make a few moves to graduate to the next level.

Jim and John have donated wonderful gifts to help raffle off.

I am working the magazine project with the tour which will incorporate our poster gig.

III Gun Shops

Do we have any III Patriots who own gun shops that can get wholesale (or better) prices on firearms for the 527?

We are particularly interested in folks who have accounts with prime brands: Browning, Springfield Armory, Fulton Armory, Ruger, Steyr, etc.

Nothing hinky, of course - everything will be FFL to FFL.

Email me or answer here, either way.

Thanks,

Rupert Murdoch: Fox Hard Conservative?

Not so much.

Rupert Murdoch, back on Twitter tonight, posted a thought clearly related to the Aurora shootings:

We have to do something about gun controls. Police license okay for hunting rifle or pistol for anyone without crim or pscho record. No more

We'll update if he posts more. Murdoch owns the New York Post (disclosure: my husband works there), whose rival Daily News had a front page editorial today urging President Obama to act on guns.

Murdoch is also closely allied with Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who talked about gun control, one of his signature issues, hours after the shooting.

Colorado AAR: Hardcore Facts

First, it is obvious that James Holmes is not an Enemy of Liberty - he's just a broken brain.

But, if you are not prepared for the Hard Things, this is not the proper venue for you.

May all of the Enemies of Liberty be so ill-prepared to do violence as James Holmes.

He had every tactical advantage. He had fish in a barrel. He had unarmed victims. He had the element of surprise. He had gas and he protected himself from that gas. He had an AR, a scattergun and a Glock with plenty of reloads (according to most reports).

The average multi-plex theater holds 300 seats.

His performance: 12 dead + 58 wounded.

Sorry, folks. That is just plain bad shooting and tactical execution.

Had he intended to kill everyone in that theater, he should have been able to score at least 90% KIA.

May all of the Enemies of Liberty who will challenge Patriots be as inefficienct as James Holmes.

They will not be.

Prepare accordingly.

Why we will be forced to fight sooner than later...

This column discusses a man on President Obama's "Enemies List" and points out that the President himself need not pick up the phone and issue orders to his minions to make life difficult for an enemy.

As we saw with Joe the Plumber, Enemies of Liberty and Useful Idiots will take the initiative when "Their Team" needs help. Within 24 hours of the Joe the Plumber moment on the campaign trail there were several separate and unassociated cases of people using their office to investigate Joe and get his details for damage.

Anyone who has ever felt like they may be on a local "*hit List" and harassed by local "Code Enforcement" probably is correct. I know I have a star next to my name at City Hall, and I know I have a star by my name when LEO runs my car plates.

My point: If you are waiting for DHS to kick in your door because of your political beliefs, you may be looking at the wrong enemy. Your local LEO has probably already put a file together on you, and they don't need to wait for the "Big Boys" to give them permission. Indeed, if they take you out of play, they may even get a ribbon and a new Stryker from Uncle Sugar.

Watch all of your Enemies. They are many, and they will act independently.

Here's the column.

Update: Now I must ask the obvious question...

UPDATE: Consider specifically the responses from Dan and Trainer, then the rest. Dan points out the obvious that I deliberately left out of the poll question and follow-up - we have no infrastructure "at all".

Second: Trainer points out that I changed the rules between question and follow-up. I did so deliberately. Obviously, Patrick Henry can not give that speech, so any answers based on that premise end with that realization.

Finally: Most others point out what I have suspected and talked about many times before: I won't go alone on a suicide mission and leave my wife/kids/family to the wolves. In my world, that is valid.

So, now please consider this question: Would you begin hunting Enemies of Liberty IF ANYONE gave the Liberty or Death speech today?

And factor this question into your reply: If we will not go to arms today, and we will not participate in the Constitutional political system, are we not merely waiting to die as slaves within the system implemented by others?

If we are not ready to go to arms, and we are not willing to run for office on a wide scale and try to fight in that Constitutional arena, then what about the Pioneer Project concept? Is not secession into our own community, away from the masses, a decent middle-ground?

K

~~

I bumped the poll to the top of the right column.

At this moment, 88% of you have taken the position that you would gear up and begin hunting Enemies of Liberty if Patrick Henry were here and gave his famous Liberty or Death speech.

This means you have already taken the position that the republic is ready for Hunter-Killer Teams to begin taking out Enemies of Liberty in pursuit of restoring Liberty.

The question: Why have you not started on your own? Patrick Henry is not coming. Not one of our bloggers can fill his shoes. If you have taken the decision that it is time to hunt, why haven't you begun?

I promise I will not flame anyone who answers the question in good faith.

Nor will my feelings be hurt if you choose not to answer such a question publicly.

I genuinely would like to know what is holding you back.

A sad day for me

Kenny who runs Knuckledraggin' has decided to shut down shop for a while, folks.

He and Lisa and CharlieGodamit are ok, but he is busy in other aspects of life and as most of us have faced at one time or another, blogging has to take a back seat to family and life. He may return in time, and I will keep in touch with him.

It may be more than he wants public, but I will ask everyone to keep his father in their thoughts.

I will miss Kenny's humor, insights and company until he returns.

Kenny, all you need to do is ask, and I'll be there to help in any way I can. For you, I'll let TSA grab a handful of Kerodin junk. ;)

Yours in Liberty.
