III Congress: SitRep

When I laid out my thumbnail for a model for building a national organization to connect local dots, I explained very early that I had 2 pre-requisites: TL, and CA must agree to participate, and the standard American Constitutional Oath is mandatory for all Members and Delegates.  I have the infrastructure in place to make it happen legally: I have the companies, the bank accounts, the PayPal accounts, the tax-free 527, and any Treasurer could be appointed to oversee the money.

After talking with TL and CA in email, we will not be able to satisfy my two requisites for participation.

The goal is noble and as Sandman says, it is overdue.  The method is sound: The original Continental Congress is a proven method for getting the job done.  The no ad hominem rule eliminates the factional problems.  It means K and AP and MBV and Baugh and Bill Nye and every other "faction" with static could sit at the same table.

But the three of us will not get there, today.

I would suggest anyone who wants this to continue should reach out to CA and TL and ask them to go forward without me.  If you think it is important, make it happen.  This is your Liberty, your Life.

There is no "blame".  Three men standing on Principle and none willing to move.  That is all.  I'd rather have such a nation than a nation of people who compromise deep Principles.  I am proud to know both men.

Training the Love of your life...

...ain't what you may think.

As Mrs. Kerodin advances in her CQB training with me, I've had to try and figure out why I wake up more sore than does she.  I think I figured it out.  It isn't simply because I am now 45 and have abused my body for nearly my entire adult life.

The blue trainer in the picture above is what she derisively calls her "Malibu Barbie" training knife.  She's not happy that she doesn't get to use live blades yet.  I swear folks, I think she is determined to prove that a blue trainer can, indeed, penetrate my belly and reach my backbone. 

What I have found is that as she improves and throws a good counter, forcing me to defend, whether empty-hand or with her Barbie knife, or closes the gap as she takes my knee and steps on it at painful angles, I end up taking the hit or wrapping her up in a way that I would never do in real life, even on a dojo mat.   I have trained wives before (not my own, of course) and if the lass throws a good counter I would never hesitate to turn her energy and bounce her off a wall or hit her with her own elbow.

But I can't do that with my own wife, I've found. 

So, I end up defending myself and then trying to catch her or break her fall before she hits the wall.  Or, I just let her connect.

As a training methodology, I have to say it's not the best for the trainer.  ;)

Guys, make sure your wife can defend herself.  That is your responsibility.  I know I can teach my wife better and faster than any dojo, but I can't say I'll necessarily live through it.  I think I may have to get her trained up to a certain level, then send her into a Krav class, for my own health. 

Tonight I think I'm going to turn her loose on a few breakfalls.  If I can't type tomorrow, it's because I threw my body under her to break her fall. 

Love hurts.

III Congress

I have said before and will again: Every single problem facing Patriots today has been asked and answered already.  We have the blueprint for recovering Liberty.  I am not writing this post to debate any of my assertions, so please don't bother.  The only thing I want to hear at the end of this post is: Does the proposal improve our odds of success, or not?  Do we move forward on this path, or not?

I am proposing the below and I want everyone to know that I am still deciding if *I* will move forward.  I don't want to waste anyone's time, resources or energy.  I want to make sure we can actually accomplish something useful.  I want to make sure we do no harm.  Two of those minimums are as I stated below: TL and CA must sign on publicly and serve in the Congress.  So your comments are helping me decide as well.  If I am going to sign on, there are certain minimums upon which I will insist, or someone else can take point.   

But since no one else is doing that - taking point - here I go again.

The Proposal:

The organization should be modeled after the Continental Congress, and called the III Congress. The political party should be known as III Patriots Party.

Patriots band together under the III Brand with a nationally recognized organization that will serve multiple purposes.  The goal of the organization is to grow our ranks, build morale and cohesion, establish a legitimate political presence, ratify our political platform, serve as a venue for Patriots from across the country to meet, coordinate, plan, network, establish mutual defense agreements, protocols, tripwires, et cetera, and otherwise further the goals of Liberty.  If the Platform is a broad-brush plan of action, then the national organization should be prepared to issue calls to action and to provide for legal defense funds and aid for families of Patriots who are incapable of providing while performing their duties.  "Calls to Action" should be designed to raise awareness and add to the noise being made by secessionists.  One example: III Liberty stickers on designated targets in response to a specific act of Government, etc.  Low risk, high PR reward.  Mock and ridicule TPTB and the system they advocate.  The Congress should have the power to vote on such calls to action and issue the order.  We need to make the notion of "Resist" a verb and a daily, tangible act.

The original Continental Congress offered legitimacy to the Sons of Liberty.

The organization should seek political legitimacy by seeking addition to the recognized political parties of the 50 states.  Idaho requires 14,000 signatures, and we will have genuine Constitutional legitimacy, whether you think that matters or not, most of the people who will (or will not) support the III DO care about Constitutional legitimacy.

The organization shall officially advocate the Restoration of the Constitution and government restraint based on the DoI, Constitution as ratified, including the BoR.  Every Amendment after ratification should be re-introduced.  I can make the argument that every Amendment ratified post RevWarII was done so by an illegal and invalid Government that illegally overthrew the Constitutional Government of America.  If you have goals other than Restoration - keep them to yourself until after we hit Restoration.

The organization should be Membership based with monthly dues of $10 per Patriot, funds to be used to further the reach of the organization, accomplish its goals, and service the aforementioned defense & PR funds.

The organization should be organized by state.  Patriots from each state will be responsible for electing delegates to the organization, growing their members, training, networking, getting petitions signed to get on the state ballot, et cetera.

In the early days, members of the Congress should be any III Patriot who chooses to be seated at the table.  As we grow, each group within a given state should send one delegate to represent the group.  Not all members, obviously, will be interested in serving in the Congress, but simply as Members.  Not all groups are willing to expose themselves, but perhaps they can participate by proxy.

All delegates are equal, and all votes of the congress require 2/3 to pass.  Some sort of quorum standard should be set.

All members shall sign a public post/thread affirming the oath to protect & defend the Constitution, and anything done by a member to injure the goal of restoration shall be grounds for impeachment by the Congress.

Ranks: I suggest all Members hold some sort of militia type rank, even delegates in Congress.  However, the rank means nothing in Congress itself, when in session they are delegates only.  When they go home to their group, the rank engages.

I think that is enough of a thumbnail minimum.

Since this effort is designed to bring unity to the III/Liberty movement, I would suggest that anyone willing to take the oath and abide the rules is welcome and should be invited, including MBV, Bill Nye, AP, Mullenax, Baugh, Wirecutter, et cetera.  I have secured IIICongress (blog) and the rule on that blog should be zero tolerance for ad hominem attacks.  Attacking ad hominem = immediate impeachment and public rebuke by ALL members/delegates.  Of course, anyone may say anything they like on their own site, but at the III Congress site, decorum matters.  The original Continental Congress had mortal enemies in their ranks, if we claim to be their heirs, then we'd better damned well act like it.

Local Local Local is happening, far more than many may realize.  I think a properly run national can help build the local so long as it is a genuine Congress, not a Command Center.

It has been said that real men do not need Leaders.  I won't argue that point.  But real men must work together to achieve Liberty, or it will die. If you are worried about a Fed behind every tree and in every meeting, it's time for you to grasp the notion that you have no secrets anyway - and Patriotism should not be practiced in the shadows and darkness of basements, in ciphers and codes.  Liberty demands that we stand tall, sign our names to our work, and fuck anyone who doesn't like it.  They won't like it.  So what?  Isn't that why we are doing any of this work - to send such Enemies of Liberty packing?  They are coming for you anyway, stand up and let 'em come.

As you consider this post, let's not try to work out minutia, let's paint with broad brushes and save the details for other threads.  Right now, what's your gut?

I intend to live my life in such a manner that John Parker would welcome me at his shoulder, and I don't care who knows it.

III: National Stage - Yea or Nay

**SUNDAY UPDATE**  I intend to post about this topic tonight.  I've heard from TL and he is a Go, still waiting to hear from CA.  It is still a holiday weekend, so he may be away.  A few insights: I have a very full plate.  In other projects that have begun here, we have had many outfreakin'standing Patriots pick up the rope and help pull.  I could never accomplish anything without help, and this concept of helping build a national infrastructure, a nexus where locals can get plugged-in, is no different.  I will not be able to do it alone.  I will not even try to do it without TL and CA aboard publicly and in active rolls.  Without their active support, this will simply be another circle-jerk and I'm not in the mood.  I will not let this effort cut into my time and energy on my other projects - if this is a Go I'll work harder and later every night, but I will not take time away from what I am already doing.  So, folks, if you think this national concept is worth the effort, let me know.  I know you can't go all-in without having details, but let me know you are at least considering it, or not.  Thanks.

**UPDATE** Since posting this I have received several emails, and when considered with the comments I have now decided my course on this topic.  I have an email out to TL and CA at the moment.  Short version: I agree that it is time to pull this community together with a simple and concise objective, to combine our voices to be a political voice as well as serve our purpose as III Patriots nationally while helping grow even more locally.  We should be there in the wake of a hurricane Sandy, and we should be on the field in the wake of the next NDAA or piece of legislation that insults the Constitution.  I think we should have a national level III Congress, made up of Patriots from sea to sea, reps from militias, bloggers, individuals and more.  It is time for each and every one of us to lead, follow or GTF out of the way.  I'll flesh this out more tomorrow, hopefully after hearing from TL & CA and anyone else who wants to drop me an email and weigh-in.  Mike M: Thank you.

Yours in Liberty.

~~

Several voices in our community have been calling for a "Leader" and an "organization" or "Structure" with "Action" as the goal.  Let's set aside the Leaderless aspect of the III for now.  Let's set aside any stigma associated with the word "Militia" in the minds of the public.  Let's set aside whatever you need to set aside so we can have the conversation.

The III Brand has grown significantly and positively over the last 2 years or so.  Under the III Brand we have published books, built flags and patches and engraved our blades.  We have begun III Arms.  We have begun a stronghold in the III name.  More than a few of our local militia allies sport a III patch on their gear in addition to their local identifiers.  As a national level Brand, it works and can grow.  It has a political advocacy organization already in place that has served more than 1000 Patriots.

My recommendation: Let's all unify under the III Brand and form a national militia oriented/ action oriented organization, of sorts.  Perhaps we should replace the word militia for PR reasons, you decide.  The national level could be comprised of leaders from the local units, whether they are militia or not.  The national level could elect leaders in spheres of influence from message to training to building networks among local groups, to setting tripwires and contingencies that would bring members of the national to any local that finds itself in need.  Questions such as "What do we (as a group) do if..." can be answered and set as policy.

I would recommend we set it up along militia guidelines with ranks, as well as a "Leadership Council".  Perhaps the "ranks" stop at the regional unit level, and the national Council level has not ranks, but offices.  Some of our bloggers would serve well in such a capacity.  Hold elections to fill the leadership rolls, and local groups can handle recruiting their own units/organizations, and new members can be directed to appropriate local level groups to build a grass roots army.

But since the vacuum most people are seeking to fill is action-oriented, only those who mean to take action are permitted.  Message is essential for PR and for unifying the focus of the members, so Restoration should be the immediate goal with a healthy side dish of Rightful Liberty as defined by Jefferson.  If you have any goals after Restoration, keep them to yourself and work on your goals after Restoration has been achieved.  Any work done to thwart Restoration while in the ranks gets you booted.  A standard oath to protect and defend the Constitution should be mandatory.

Revenue: Nothing is free and people with no skin in the game are not the most motivated.  Charge all members $10 per month.  Use the money to cover basic expenses such as marketing reach.

I expect pushback from most people.  But TL calls for leaders and organizations, and many people agree with him, so then let's give it a whirl.  Here's TL's latest.

I'm ready.  You already know my focus is on the Citadel and related projects, but this idea would earn my support and energy.  It's important.

Who owns you?

Please study the banner image above very carefully - the large image of Jews being herded to their deaths.

Zoomie created that brilliant piece and sentiment.

A year or more ago I saw a YouTube that had several such scenes of horror from WWII in black & white, then the author morphed them into color and modern depictions from our own headlines.  If anyone knows where I can find that piece again, I'd love a heads-up.  The point of the video was to remind Americans that it can happen here.  Nothing in the nature of the Universe magically exempts Americans from tyrannical death by starvation, maliciously released diseases, turning entire cities into concentration camps until everyone inside dies, or merely shooting us when and where the Bad People find us.

Our Founders knew the answer.  ...that every man be armed...  & ...If they mean to have a war, let it begin here... They had just lived through being hunted by Bad People.  You will remember that April 19, 1775 was not merely about taking the armory.  There were warrants in-hand for the arrest of two men we consider American Heroes, while the King considered them traitors and criminals who needed to hang at the end of a rope.

It can happen here.

It has happened here.

RevWarI happened right here.  Liberty won.

RevWarII happened right here.  Most people call it the Civil War.  Liberty lost.

RevWarII is not finished, yet.  The end of that 150 year war will not be over until one side or the other finally clears the field of their ideological enemies.  No, we cannot coexist.  No, the questions on the table are not legitimate political differences of opinion.

The question is simple: Will you live as a slave your entire life and deliver your children in chains to Master?  Or will you run the Sons of Bitches a thousand miles from you and your children?

A recent commenter here asserted that my methods include killing many millions of people.

I think it is important to clarify: I do not advocate killing anyone, even the most arrogant, most blatant Enemies of Liberty currently working to enslave us all.  The other guy always chooses just how rough I will have to get.  I prefer they live in the misery and filth that is their Soul as long as possible.

I advocate creating conditions in America such that these people will choose to leave, forever.  I want them to buy an airline ticket or cruise ship ticket and leave America, forever.  I want them to load their cars and moving vans and drive to Mexico or Canada, and never return.

And if they fail to leave us in peace, I have no problem if these people are encouraged more stridently to get in their cars and drive, or loaded onto buses and trains and trucks and escorted beyond our borders, never to set foot back on American soil again.

And for those who insist on remaining, insist on continuing to subvert the Constitutional and Natural Rights of Americans, facing a Jury of Patriots for Treason is a legitimate and morally sound remedy.

No man or woman has the right to enslave you, or to take from you the fruits of your own labors.  Such acts, even if the actual act is performed by a third party under color of law, is violence against you by the actual actor and the people who sent the actor into your midst, you may meet him with violence in the moment, or at any time before he comes for you. 

You are morally entitled to react in self defense against this violence being imposed upon you.

When you are tired of being abused and ready to defend yourself, stand and be counted by declaring yourself.

Happy Thanksgiving: Ditch-free edition ;)

I began writing in this community about 30 months ago, just after publishing my first book.

In that time I have banged heads with some, agreed to disagree with some, and with a few, bonds as strong as those as family have formed and continue to form.  With the evolution of the Citadel concept I can truly say that many of you have become family and Tribe in my life.  Recently, my wife has begun to wade publicly into these waters as well.  She and I are a team, and we have decided that we will devote what energy we have to the Citadel because we both believe we can save lives and do our part to save Liberty by walking this path with you.

For those of you who support the Citadel concept, but have no intention of joining us in Idaho, I have mentioned before that it is my intent that when the fight for Liberty goes hot, we will do all that we can to provide refuge for you if you need it, we will take in your children if you need to get them out of Harm's Way, and we will do all we can do to help keep you in bullets, bandaids, beans and buddies.  Several of you have responded in kind.  That is building networks and Tribe.  That is tangible action.  That is positive politics.  The Citadel may be listed as a tangible asset on the spreadsheet of Liberty.

We will continue building these networks.

My Kerodin.com email receives more than 100 emails each day, without counting spam.  Because of the Citadel Project our community is growing, as we are finding people in the Prepper and Survivalist and general Gun communities who find the concept appealing.  I am averaging 5 brand new people each week who email and ask how they can be part of the project.  Those 5 Souls are worth the derision, mockery and pushback we get from naysayers.  We already know it is a very small number of Americans who think as do we, and we have found a way to begin reaching them.  We are doing it with action, not schemes.  If we have to wade through 100,000 haters to find 1,000 III Patriots, we will be able to hold our heads high and know we have contributed to the fight for Liberty.

I can't possibly list everyone by name who I wish a Happy Thanksgiving today.  I would leave someone out and that would break my heart.  I have, literally, dozens of ongoing conversations in email, so if it takes me a while to loop back around and answer your email, please don't think I am being rude.  To each and every one of you who consider yourself an ally, I wish you and yours a happy and safe Thanksgiving.

As your brain works in the background today, as you enjoy family or football or however you spend the day, just remember the original meaning of this day.  Remember why the first Americans left the known world and came to our shores to, literally, carve out a new land based on personal freedom and Liberty.  Liberty is an expensive commodity.  Several generations since the 1850s have failed to pay the dues, so you and I find ourselves the last people sitting at the table, and the check is due. 

We either dig deep and pay, or Liberty will die on Planet Earth.  It is that simple.

Enjoy today.  Think about tomorrow.  People like Grenadier over at WRSA are considering how to get traction and positive, forward motion among our small community.  He wants us to move from the rhetorical and academic to the tangible.  Let's all strive to be that guy - the guy and gal who does work for Liberty.  Here's the link to that particular thread.  If you have an idea to help Grenadier get rubber to the road, weigh in.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all.  Enjoy today.  Remember tomorrow.

We all have to pay up.  Let's do enough that we can pay it forward so that the next few generations won't have to do this again for a while.

Secession - Only 180 degrees off target

No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. ~ George Patton

Flawed thinking...

Have we for so long been told that violence is not the answer to everything, that we have come to believe violence is not the answer for anything?

Here are two simple questions for you: Is the man or woman who votes for any modern D (or R for that matter) living a life of Rightful Liberty?

Next question: Does living a life of Rightful Liberty demand that you leave that D (or R) voter alone, since they are free to vote for whoever they wish?

If you answered "yes" to either of those questions, then I must ask you a final question: Are you flippin' brain damaged?!

If you are not brain damaged, or batshit crazy, then your thinking is dangerous to Liberty.

For those of you already getting worked up and puffy-faced, pause for a moment and think.

There is not a modern D or R who runs against Entitlements, who runs for the elimination of direct taxation, who runs on a platform of repealing all anti-2A laws, or who runs to eliminate DHS, who runs for genuine Constitutional restraint.

That means, dear Patriot, that every single person who votes for any of those politicians, is casting a vote to empower those politicians to violate your Rightful Liberty with the force of arms.  How can you possibly not hold the voter responsible for the gun in your face when you choose to ignore their tyranny?

The differences between what is being done to Americans today is different from Mao and Stalin only in degrees of color, not substance.  I am being robbed every single day by my fellow Countrymen, to feed other Countrymen, at the expense of my own family.  And every single day those people strive and work to take more from me to realize their own agenda.

You support their "Right" to vote for politicians who promise to continue stealing from me?  Fuck you.

Once a man or woman has demonstrated an intent to deny my Rightful Liberty, he is an Enemy to the premise of Liberty and a personal enemy in my life.  The moment that person takes an active step toward imposing his will upon me, thus violating my Rightful Liberty, he or she is a valid target as a tyrant by proxy.

If one million people stand ready to strip me of my property, that means one million people are wrong, and one million people are worthy of my unrestrained self-defense.  In this country I have hundreds of millions who stand against my right to keep my own money - does that make them right?  Does their sheer number mean I must comply?  Or, am I morally entitled to put every honkin' one of them in a ditch?

In case you are wondering, the ditch wins, every time.

You don't like my position?  Fuck you again.

Gloom & Doom? Not me...

Expansion and contraction is a cyclical constant in our Universe.

It is the natural way of things.

Consider the expansion and contraction of Liberty: Greece.  Rome.  The English Empire and the Rights of Englishmen.  1776.

In our history each period that experimented with notions of Liberty, each civilization that practiced the concept expanded and then contracted.  The argument can be made that each iteration of Liberty resulted in an evolution of the concept, bringing us ever closer to Jefferson's Rightful Liberty.

Now please look at the artwork above from Zoomie.

He captured this cycle, in my mind.

Ours, the American iteration of Liberty, is presently contracting under the pressures of Marxism and stupidity coupled with greed.  How far will it contract this cycle?  The days of walking anywhere in America under the belief that we were safe from tyranny are over.  Some of us are looking to old-school tech to weather the storm - fortified walls and circled wagons, with only our most trusted allies allowed at our shoulders.

But I am convinced that from this contraction, Patriots can unleash Liberty that has not yet been seen on the planet.  It is in our power to come closer to Rightful Liberty than any people have ever come.  First, we must understand that this contraction is happening.  Go with that energy and do not fight it.  When the slack tide comes, stand tall and push Liberty outward, and release an explosion of brilliant light, huge portions of the people of the world may push back their local oppressors and escort into the experience of Man the most personal Liberty ever yet experienced.

It will not be easy.  Success is not ensured.  But the task falls to you and me.  There are Hard Things before us all.  We are living in these moments of potential and opportunity, riding the ebb tide of contraction, and we shall surge back to shore upon the tsunami of Liberty.

I do not think Liberty will die.  I think it is going through growing pains, growth that is being measured in centuries.  You and I are here on Earth at this time, in this place, for a reason.

Look at Zoomie's picture above.  We are going to rely on hard fortifications and old-school ass-kicking to get through this, but in the end Liberty comes out bigger, stronger, just as John Parker looms larger in the image, bigger than the fortifications that will mark the end of this contraction.

Remember that Benjamin Franklin had the wisdom to advocate that the Colonies unite to form a stronger entity.  That same logic and truth remains today.

Balkanization will injure Liberty and must be avoided - and we have the power to avoid it, if we have the courage.  Let us not settle for falling back into a comfort zone, with a false sense of security.  If we leave Enemies of Liberty on the field, they will come again.  United we stand, divided we fall.  Now is not the time for a fearful retreat, but time to acknowledge the opportunity and to drive tyrants into Balkanized lands.  Time to make the other guys retreat and cower for their philosophies of oppression.

Do not despair, Patriots.  Freedom isn't free, and paying the dues will fall to us.  So let's pay them.  Let's pay it forward sufficiently to buy Liberty for the next 500 years with our efforts.  You are up to this task.  You have to be up to this task.  I will stand with you.

What did you do today to improve the odds for Liberty?  Here's what Bonnie Gadsden did, here.

An entire nation of Patriots. A dream for us, reality for them.

My title for this post is a comment left by Kenny (Wirecutter).

He was speaking of Israel.  He nailed it.

I am convinced the people of Israel are unified because attempts to excise their people from the planet in WWII is still fresh enough to be real, and in the decades since further attempts have been constant.

When is the last time the American people, on American soil, faced an existential threat from a foreign enemy?  Not in any of our lifetimes.  We are far removed, as a people, from what a backfist tastes like.  This leads us to silly and suicidal tendencies because most of our voting public is a pampered and unrealistic lot of idiots.

Will the coming fight amongst ourselves be sufficient to remind those who survive that no people can remain powerful and free if they lose touch with the base realities of life?  If Liberty wins the fight, complacency will grow again in future generations.  That is the nature of the beast.  But can the Remnant in America pull together like the Israelis?  Can Patriots do it soon enough to defeat the Enemies of Liberty?

There are lessons for American Patriots to learn simply by watching Israel.

Some of the most stupid Americans I have ever encountered (regarding the Israelis) accuse Israel of turning Gaza and the West Bank into "Concentration Camps".  Such "logic" employed by Americans is absurdity, at best.  Anyone who looks at a map of Israel can see that Gaza has 4 sides.  Israel has fenced off the eastern side and the northern.  The western side is the Med.  And the southern?  That one is fenced in by the Egyptians.  And the West Bank is closed by the Jordanians.

Anyone who tells you that Israel has put Palestinians into a "Concentration Camp" or "Bottled them up in ghettos" or anything else is demonstrating to you that they are either stupid beyond redemption and should not breed, or liars to suit their own agendas...and still should not breed.  If Egypt and Jordan cared for the "Palestinians", they would open the gates they imposed.

I would suggest Israel fix bayonets and march every single Soul out of Gaza and the West Bank who wishes them harm.  Then settle those areas with Israeli families.  Once your Rightful Liberty has been infringed, or when an enemy informs you he intends to make you extinct, you have the moral Right to put them in a ditch.  Living next door to a man who wants to murder you and your family, and who takes steps or facilitates that murder, is not a requirement.  Your Rightful Liberty has been violated - end him.

The first post I offered at Kerodin.com suggested a similar solution for the illegal problem in America.  If we build a 3-sided fence on the border with Mexico, fenced on the east, west and north, yet wide open to the South, and into this corral we dumped our illegals, what would stop them from walking south?  Nothing...except probably Mexico.

Let's work together and help the dream of a nation of Patriots come true.  We can do it.  We will have to leave some people behind.  We will have to push some people across our borders and let them be Canadians or Mexicans for the rest of their lives.  Those who remain can be Americans once again unified by Patriotism, love of country and strong moral compass.

Getting America back to a place that is safe for Patriots and Liberty will be hard work and it will require Hard Things.

Kenny crystallized our entire problem in two sentences.

Let's fix it.
