Oh Sandy...

Well, electrical power repair trucks are staging here a few miles northeast of DC at my local fairgrounds.  I watched a convoy roll in from Alabama Power.  Reports from our local power company (Pepco) claim they are coming from as far as Louisiana.  I don't doubt it.  Pepco has a very bad record of leaving one of the most affluent customer-bases in America without power for a week or more.  Recently it seems as if at least once or twice a year we have serious outages locally that last far longer than they should.

I'm not terribly worried here.  Unless one of these massive Oaks that surround my house tumble and crush us, we'll be fine.  (Not totally discounting the risk from the trees, many of the branches are large enough to turn my little house into a cloud of dust).  We may lose power and internet for a while, but the Kerodin household usually fares rather well regarding power, because we are on the same feeder as two significant FedGov & StateGov facilities.  If we lose power for any significant period, it means a major piece of equipment has failed very close to home.  As for internet, I'll have net access as long as Verizon stays up, even if only from my phone.

But I must admit, this would be a very bad week to lose net access from my desktop.  There is much to be accomplished this week prior to Buy a Gun Day on the 6th.  The Citadel has several deadlines this week, and IIIGear as well.  But, it is what it is.  If we go dark here, you'll know why.

Stay safe.

Are you taking this seriously?

Bill Nye recently considered in a post how many people in this community are actively preparing.

Prepping is much more than having bags of rice and beans. 

How many of you heeded my advice and began taking Krav Maga when I first recommended it to you more than 18 months ago?  Remember that I promised you that 6 months of serious Krav study would put you in a position of being able to defeat easily 95% of the men in America in a one-on-one fight.  Imagine where you would be today if you had begun when I first mentioned it, you'd have more than 3 times the skills and mental conditioning I recommended as a minimum.

I hope you are not a Patriot who simply plays at this online.  We need every right-thinking, Liberty-minded American we can get when SHTF.  I know Patriots who are walking the walk.  Some are buying land off the most likely lines of attack and moving their families, their lives, because they are serious about what lies ahead.  Some of you have taken your place in local militias.  If you are reading this blog, you are a person who probably understands that the camel's back may break at any time, on any given day.  It could be tomorrow.  It could be in months, or even a few years out.

Are you really using this time wisely?  On the day "it" happens, the day will likely begin just like any other day.  You'll be on your way to work, or at work, or at school.  Do you know that you can get home?  Do you know your spouse can get home, and the kids will get home?  Do you have protocols in place for the variables, and have you actually done dry-runs?  Do your kids know what to do, I mean really know.  What if LEO stands between you and your children when a school goes into lockdown?  Can you take him, or outwit him?  Can you take them?  Do your kids know where to be so they can make it to your vehicle if your protocol calls for a bugout, and they are in lockdown?  Have you given them permission to ignore the adults who will be trying to keep them inside?

If you seriously believe an Implosion is imminent, or the heavy boots of Tyrants will attempt to stomp on your Liberty until you are dead or submissive, you should be doing.  Right now.

You know my plan.  People like CA and Bill Nye and TL have been advocating the building of Tribe.  Some of you have tried to build Tribe with fellow Patriots at the local level, with varying levels of success.  Some of us have decided to meet up and become a Tribe.  Will we get there before Implosion?  That is impossible to know.  But we have set our course and more than a few of us are doing the work that needs to be done to get there.  Doing. 

Tribe means lives, fortunes, and Sacred Honor.  Tribe means you will cover his back, and he will cover yours.  Tribe means you will get into the muck to defend your fellow Patriots when the muck is where the fight is to be found.  Tribe means you understand that "Blue on Blue" really isn't.  Tribe means you are willing to step up to defend your fellow Patriots against attacks from any quarter, even those launched by people who claim the title of Patriot, yet fail to live up to the standard.  Tribe means you will take point, even when internet pond scum use third grader playground tactics, and you will relentlessly defend until they become so frightened that they crawl into their own arse and peek out from time to time, hoping you have gone away.

When "It" happens, whatever "It" proves to be, you will have no more time.  You will have what you have, and if you do not have enough beans or bullets or buddies, you will lose.

Will you and yours survive?  Prevail?  Your women and girls raped and your heads put on spikes?

It's on you.  Do it.

Janos on Rightful Liberty

Janos explores Jefferson's Rightful Liberty.

I would add a single caveat, it is in my personal "Code", if you will.  Jefferson said, and I'll paraphrase, If it neither picks my pocket or breaks my leg, it is not my concern.

In my world, I add: But once I know that one's intent is to pick my pocket or break my leg, (or that of my Tribe) I am morally free to strike first.  And I don't do Proportionate Response.

Here's the link.  It is a good piece.

Liberty is the only hope for Humanity

One need only scan the headlines of Drudge during any given week to see the means by which Enemies of Liberty mean to enslave the Human animal in every corner of planet Earth.

When one steps back far enough from a problem, you become able to see the big picture, rather than remaining mired in the details and minutia, the "Sparklies" that keep you distracted from the real issues.

On Earth today there is a struggle among Men for control of the planet.  There are four primary players.  Islam.  Marxism.  Self-Interest/Greed (We can call this one Human Nature).  Liberty.

Right now, Liberty is being handed its arse.  Liberty is very nearly about to be snuffed from the only place it even remotely remains on the entire planet: America.

Christianity is in full retreat across the globe.  Islam is rising hard and fast, aided by Marxists and the third player in the game for global control: Self-Interest/Greed.  Islam is a tool being used to suffocate Liberty.  And it is working.  Self-Interest/Greed is helping to hollow-out American power, transferring that power (economic) to Marxists, who use that power to further attack Liberty. (Jeep may soon become a Chinese product)

Once America is unable to protect herself properly, Liberty will be dead.

Then the Marxists will kill Islam, rather simply.  A series of tactical nukes in Cairo, Mecca, and population centers across the Muslim World will return Islam to the technological age of Mohammed.

The last bastion of Liberty in the world is America.  And I say that with full knowledge that only a tiny percentage of Americans want or understand true and Rightful Liberty.

So, the accurate statement is: The last bastions of Rightful Liberty on planet Earth reside in the Hearts and Souls of a few Americans.

I dare say that just a few hundred years ago, Rightful Liberty was first born in the same place, within the Hearts and Souls of a few Americans.

If we allow ourselves to end up in ditches, Liberty will be lost to Man, and true Darkness will cover Earth until Human Nature ultimately destroys the species.

Many people claim to be Patriots.  Many people claim to fight for Liberty.  But it only takes a few scratches of the surface of most "Patriots" to realize that their definition of Liberty is often as oppressive as Marx himself, but cloaked in words like "Morality".  Even in the age of the first Revolution, there were many who would have restrained their fellow man if able.

Proper morality is a genetic trait.  Either you have it, or you do not.  I believe the same of Rightful Liberty.  It is in the DNA of a very few Human Beings.

Sadly, it is not in the Nature of Man to restrain himself.  Few today have that inner moral compass properly tuned.  If we seek to grow our breed of American, Americans who restrain themselves from imposing their will upon their neighbors, the proper step is to come together under a single roof wherever possible, and separate ourselves from our fouled Countrymen.  Keep your children out of the hands of those who would corrupt them.  And when the time is right, we expand once again.

But first, we must not die.

We must not permit the Liberty in our Hearts and Souls to end up in ditches.

The Enemies of Liberty have that plan, and you know it.  You see the ground being prepared.

The perverted Christian will smugly put you in a ditch as quickly as will the Marxist and the Muslim.

That "Patriot" at your shoulder may be leading you toward the ditches.  You've seen the clues.  You've seen his or her words.  You've felt the doubt in your own heart.  You've seen those "Patriots" who declare love for 1A, then cry for shutting down websites and allegations of "Fetishism".  You've seen and heard "Patriots" try to lead you toward conspiracies and imprudent action with whispers.  You've all watched "III Patriots" who seethe and promise "Not one more inch..." and then surrender 2A without even a whimper, only excuses.

You are ultimately responsible for your own life.  You.

Ignore the truth at your peril.

No ditches.

Home and safe.  Be it ever so humble...

The only one of the Kerodin's who scored a Kill this trip was Hiro - there is one less mole at a rest stop somewhere in Indiana.

I have a full email box, I'll try to wade through ASAP.  No invitations to street corners, though - imagine that. 

IIIGear: If you have not rec'd your gear, it'll be shipping as soon as I can get to it.  I am expecting shipments from KA-BAR, Condor and Cold Steel, as well as our shirts/hoodies.  The knives, of course, still have to go to CADD for engraving, then to you.  I have no idea what may have been delivered while we were away.

The return trip was filled with even more excitement for me and H than was the outbound journey, as we both feel we were able to advance all of our (III) goals while on the road in significant ways.  We've let some go public, like the Beachhead.  More will be unveiled in the coming week or so, and of course everyone who is supporting the III is getting ready to ramp up for the 6th.

There is a LOT going on in our community at the moment.  Real advances in Tribe and Strategic measures being put into motion.  My sincerest thanks to every single one of you who have been helping to pull the rope.  III to III.  We are Leaderless, but we do have people who choose to act, and where most of you are going in these projects, I will walk with you.

Thought for the evening...

Have you ever noticed that the most broken, failed, sad and diseased Souls are usually the loudest and first to gratuitously attack?  The psychology involved is easy to understand - rather than to improve their own lives, the Sad Souls will do anything to ensure that you share their misery.

Lucky for the productive among us that it is easy to spot failed human beings by the way they carry themselves - they are usually the ones complaining, berating, finding fault with every plan and detail, never offering constructive solutions, and never producing anything more than misery.

...and, they tend to be really, really stupid people.  They are so stupid watching the Ford, when you intend to hit them with the Chevy.

Of course, their stupidity helps us all, until they breed.

The sunset above is from the Black Hills area of South Dakota, which is beautiful country, in an unforgiving manner.  It is a stock image I found on Google, as H and I are well beyond that area - we had the good fortune to travel through there this afternoon with lovely sunshine.

We also chose to use Rt 90 and cut through the North East corner of Wyoming when leaving Billings, where many of the FreeStaters settled.  There is absolutely nothing there in terms of work except ranching and farming, and service jobs, tending to ranchers and farmers.  If any of you know any FreeStaters, please invite them to consider our projects.  Their experiences would be very helpful.

This drive reminds me once again, as I rediscover with every cross-country drive, how lucky you and I are to live in this beautiful Country.  And that beauty comes in many flavors.

Enjoy Life, Patriots.  It is too short to let Earthly matters cloud your hearts.

We are building Tribe.  We are getting it done.

If the goal of the general Liberty Movement is to survive the coming storm and prevail, to be safe and to keep Liberty alive by building Tribe, you are doing it, right now.  Stand and be counted.

Liberty is not Free

How serious are you about Liberty?

There is more than one vote you may cast on November 6th. 

You may vote R.  You may vote D.

Or you may vote for Liberty.  Real Liberty.  III Liberty.

20 days and counting.

You, Patriot, are the Master of your world, and how you live in this life, how your family will live in this life, is your decision.

It's on you.  It always has been.

You will stand and defend the ground beneath your feet, or you will bend knee and lick the hand that feeds you.

There are III Patriots who will stand with you, if you choose.

But we will never bend knee.

Are you watching the Sparklies?

President Obama is losing in the Electoral College if one is watching the swing states.

How much of that is fact and how much is spin is impossible to know from where you and I sit.  Even most of the insiders don't have the "Real Truth".  But you already know it doesn't really matter.  People are jockeying to see who will be sitting in the Number 1 Chair when the cockpit hits the mountain.  Teams of Red and Blue are lining up to yell at one another, mock and jeer in the name of their Party and Candidate.

May they all hit the mountain at the same moment, at full speed, for the sake of us all.

May cancer eat the guts of Communists and parasites.  May the stupid stop breeding.

No matter what happens, people seeking Liberty will never be rid of those who mean to be Masters.

Whether a Tyrant uses the majority (democracy) to impose his will, or the Koran, or any flavor of the Bible, or the fact that he has more gold than you, there will always be those who mean to be Masters.

How and where will you meet the future?

You and I are living in a time of change.  America is about to fundamentally change from what the History books tell us she has been, what she is supposed to be, and what our eyes tell us she is today.  She is about to change on an epic level.  Soon.

I have chosen my path.  Many of you have chosen how and where you will meet the future.

If your path includes the Citadel, you will not be able to remain on the fence much longer.  It has only been 10 weeks since the first Founder dated the first check for the Keystone of the Citadel.  If you have been following our blogs, you know how much has been accomplished in fewer than 70 days, you know that HK and Miller have things in high gear.

The Citadel is next.  Thus far the Citadel is known only to our small community online.  Beginning November 6th, the rest of the country will begin to learn about our intent, and they will begin to claim the finite number of households that will be available.  Patriots in our community will have first shot at securing space, prior to November 6th.  But on November 6th, all bets are off and only those Patriots with reservations in place will have the security of the Citadel.

Nearly every single headline in every single paper, on every blog, at Drudge, is a distraction from Reality right now.  Some news items may help you determine a timeline until implosion, but the Who, What, Where, When and Why are all Sparklie details.  Do not be distracted.

If the Citadel is in your future, I suggest you watch the Citadel blog every day, here.

If the Citadel is in your future, I have warned you all that a moment of commitment was imminent, and I can now confirm that your opportunity will come in these few days before November 6th.  At the moment, only 22 days until the 6th.

One of the biggest hurdles facing most people when they want to buy land, or a home, is the up-front cash requirement.  A few of us have put our heads together and we have devised a way to let every single Patriot who wants to be inside the walls of the Citadel, or outside the walls on Citadel property, in a home, to do so without the big down payment.  If you can afford a box or two of good .45 ACP ammo, you can afford to be among your fellow III Patriots in the Citadel.

Think of every American at the last Gun Show you attended.  How many of those thousands who attend even the smaller shows, would jump at the chance for a life of safety under the beautiful skies of Idaho for their families in the coming ugliness?  And at the larger gun shows, where 10,000 and more walk the aisles, how long do you think it will take to claim the 3,500 households that will be available?

You, Patriot, reading this blog right now, have been here since the beginning of this concept.  You will have the first opportunity to claim your place in the Citadel for your family.

Look for details in the coming 22 days, and be ready to stake your claim.

In the meantime, ignore the Sparklies.

III Arms: Remember the Premise

As HK and I were discussing, when you consider the location selected for the first III Arms site, high upon a mountain and remote (though only about 7 driving miles to St Maries) you must remember the premise: What happens if SHTF before the Citadel is built?  It is only prudent for Miller & Co. to have a safe place that is out of the way where they can conduct their business in relative safety.

The picture above was snapped out the truck window just a few miles from what I am now renaming III Mountain.  Just because the III Arms first location (with shared use for the first Citadel efforts) is high and out of the way, doesn't mean that low-landers can't find nice, gently-rolling fields and stands of deciduous trees within, literally, a few miles drive.

Remember the Premise: This is a Martial Endeavor.  It is for Self-Defense.

Let's start it that way, and never lose sight of the fact that we intend to be safe.

NCRenegade & the folks at CADD Graphics

 

Outstanding Patriots, and I am going to use a word that has nearly been lost in America: Artisans.

Every bit of work CADD has done for III Gear has been perfect, and recently when Jim Miller to his III Arms prototype to Chris & David at CADD, brilliant firearm finisher met brilliant engraver, and you saw the finished results on the 1911 and AR that Miller unveiled for III Arms.

Artisans, both Miller and the guys at CADD.  (CADD is responsible not only for the engraving on the firearms, but also the grips, including the finish work to really make the John Parker engraving *POP*)

Well done by all.

And keep an eye at NCRenegade.  The blog is one of those leading the charge for Liberty.

Tribe and excising the diseased such as Mark D. Firestone and Carol Jane King, (Esquire)

Tribe is the word many of us choose to use to describe the people in our immediate circle of allies who will be in range and probably at our shoulders on the day America meets her Reckoning.

There is a larger sense of Tribe, Patriots joined by ideology even if separated by distance.  But your immediate Tribe is that group of men and women who will stand with you on the Green when the time comes.

I am proud to say a very serious Tribe is coalescing within this online community, a Tribe that already numbers well more than one hundred families who intend to move to a place together, live amongst one another, and swear to one another their lives, their fortunes, and their Sacred Honor.

By the time we are done our Tribe will number at least 3,500 families, all in one place.  How many people will able to bring weapons to bear?  Perhaps an average of 3 people per household?  10,000 men and women able and willing to kill and die for one another, and for Liberty.   This Tribe is already being built, is already forming strong bonds based on the singular premise of Jefferson's Rightful Liberty.  These bonds will grow stronger as the group increases in numbers, with a core as hard as diamonds.

I am a member of that Tribe, the one that will move to Idaho and build industries to support us, and build a town in which we will live together, allies in Life and Liberty.  I am already existentially committed to my Tribe.  The name of our Tribe?

III.

Real III Patriots worthy of standing ground at the shoulder of John Parker.

Not all genuine III will go to Idaho.  But wherever you are, we are with you in spirit.  An attack upon any is an attack upon us all.  Proportional Response is folly.  These moments in History will be merciless to the weak, to the stupid, and to those who are not worthy of Life.  Bill Nye had a great post recently, and noted that "Prepping" by some "Patriots" consists of bragging about bench press numbers.  The day before he exposed the absolute hilarity of Vanderboegh first praising the Buy a Gun Day project - until he discovered who's idea it had been.  The moment Mike realized it was a Bill Nye idea and executed flawlessly by Mozart, he pulled the post.  I hope you are able to identify those who seek only to serve themselves in this thing we call the Patriot Movement.

This brings me to the title of this post, and recent events.  Mark D. Firestone (Firestone Fine Carpentry, LLC) and his female Carol Jane King, (Esquire) have connections to both of the aforementioned self-serving "Patriots", a fact conveniently ignored by so many other "Patriots" who seem to equate debating the same tired Moral High Ground argument ad nauseum, and assuming superiority complexes (whether because they suddenly think they are superior human beings because of a new pact with Christ (despite the fact that they are willing to baldly lie in public, mockingly in the face of their Lord), or superior because they declare the Constitution to be a scam from Day One) as forward motion in the fight to save Liberty.

Enter Mark D. Firestone, the physical coward who still refuses to simply state a time and place to recite his written words to my face, and Carol Jane King, his thrice divorced lawyer female who began a relentless, unwarranted, vulgar campaign against every III Patriot who supported the concept of the III Tribe pioneer project.  These two shining examples of genetic waste, who dare call themselves "Patriots", launched a vile attack against real Patriots they do not know, seeking to destroy the efforts of the III Tribe from achieving their goal of simply building Tribe and preparing strategically to prevail in the fight for Liberty.

Carol Jane King, (Esquire) sent me an email this evening, using her official "Lawyer" email address.  Am I supposed to tremble?  Genuflect?  I'm not really certain of the social protocol she expected, so I hope my snicker of absolute derision and dismissal doesn't hurt any feelings.  Her email was filled with factual errors, but I have noted that people like her do not let facts get in the way of an attack.  For instance, she calls me a hateful, intolerant, judgmental, and dishonest religious Christian.  I've told her twice now that Christian is my name, but again, facts don't get in her way.

How does Carol Jane King tie into a conversation about my Tribe?

Carol Jane King, (Esquire) chose to interject herself into our personal business, chose to ignore facts that were presented to her, chose to be vulgar, mean, and to attempt to bring economic harm and injury to more than 40 families she never met in her life, had no business relationship with, and who never asked for her guidance.  As a lawyer, she finally began to understand how she messed up.   She chose to be the typical modern American who simply can't mind her own business.  Then she went further and tried to do her damage from anonymity.

Fail.

I chose to be part of this III Tribe, and you attacked my Countrymen, savagely and without concern for how you may impact their lives.  You sought to hurt them financially.  You sought to interfere with their plans to live their lives freely, at Liberty.

I will defend my Tribe.

I did not make this rule, it existed when I was born: You reap what you sow. That is God's Law, it is Nature's Law, and in many ways, it is in Man's Rule of Law.

Logging and filing the cached pages of your website, for reasons that should be obvious to a lawyer, it was learned that you are attempting to launch a new tax service legal practice.  Perhaps a PSA will help you.  Every new firm needs to advertise, and 25,000 letters of introduction of your service, with selected excerpts from your blog and various comments and emails you've written featured prominently in the mailer, delivered to every business, law firm, government agency and a healthy selection of residences in your area should be a great way to help you showcase your philosophies and business prowess to the community.  Surely when your surrounding community is permitted a full understanding of your general disposition and outlook on various topics, it should help your practice.

No need to thank me.  One of my companies has a great relationship with a direct mail firm.

But defending my Tribe will require many avenues of redress, all offered by Society.  As an attorney, you know the range of Rule of Law options available, and you have obviously figured out at least a few of the ways you messed up and will be forced to answer for yourself.  I am certain a few will surprise even you.  But don't worry, we'll probably bring them online one or two at a time so you don't get overwhelmed.

It will take years.

This post has already grown too long, so I won't bother to list the myriad avenues of redress planned, some already in motion.  It won't take too long before you start receiving the proper notifications.  The wheels of the system grind slowly, but they grind mercilessly.

You attacked my Tribe.

I will protect my people with my life, my fortune, and my Sacred Honor.

By the way, I still have not received a Time & Place from your stunning bit of Beefcake. 

Why a man would be afraid to speak words he has already written eludes me, except of course for the obvious answer.

Time & Place, Mark.

NC PatCon Report

Miss Dixie, Brock's lovely daughter, was kind enough to model the III Arms Prototype 1911 for Jim & Company.  If you look at the slide serrations, you'll see our III is built into the pistol, and the grips represent the heart and soul of III Arms: John Parker.

Thank you, Dixie.  It was very nice of you to help out, and the pictures are outstanding.  I have heard that Dixie is the absolute definition of a Southern Lady, and it shows.  Brock, you've done good. 

Our first choice of holster was a Kirkpatrick Texas Cross Draw, but they were out of stock.  So we went with the IWB, something that would allow the serrations and grips to be visible without retaining straps and such.

Every report I have heard about the PatCon has been outstanding, and everyone who attended and/or supported is to be commended.  Especially Brock, who has taken on this burden twice, and is looking forward to another in the Spring.  Pulling off such a gig is not easy, not cheap, and is one of the most effective positive actions in our community.  When Patriots get to meet Patriots without the internet in the way, real gains are made.  Thank you Brock.

Here is a link to Brock's about this event.
