Trillion dollar coins...

...see, they'll be worth a trillion each because it says so right on the front of the coin...

Then we can just drop a few in a nice coin purse and drop 'em by the Fed to pay our bills.

Remember what I said about Optics?

Here's the story.

The win IS the fight itself

The title quote is from Liberty & Lead.  The link is here.

The title quote is the essence of conflict.  "Victory", however you choose to define victory, is incedental.  True victory is in having the courage to fight when to fight is the proper course.

One day I'll tell you the story of Musashi and the oar he used to kill Sasaki Kojirō.

Maybe I won't, inside baseball.  Important to me, not thee.

The time for Patriots is now.

Stand and be counted.  That's it.

FBI: More People Killed with Hammers, Clubs Each Year Than Rifles

This is a smart bit of numbers parsing that I found at Fox.

Hammers and blunt instruments are used to murder more people in America each year than all rifles (including hunting) combined.  This is a factoid that actually has value as you speak to the less-informed on the topic of gun bans.  You and I already know it isn't about reducing murders - it is about reducing the ability to defend oneself against .Gov - but you'll never sell that truth to the less-informed.

Sell 'em the hammers.  Mock those who would be Masters.  Start a petition demanding DiFi include hammers in her legislation.

And I ask you once more: If it started tomorrow, do you have your first 72 hours set?

Do you even know what constitutes "...started tomorrow..."?

Will it be the passing of such a law in Illinois?  Do we all meet there to rescue the residents of Illinois?  Or are the folks in Illinois on their own?  Are we all for one, or is it bad strategy for every Patriot in America getting in a car and mustering in Illinois and reminding the Masters of the State that we will look out for our Countrymen?

Think about it.  Here's the link.

Breathe

I know the world seems to be moving very fast right now, especially in the 2A and Liberty spheres.

I am watching many people slowly, calmly, methodically getting to work with plans they had in place.  I am watching others react with less calm and focus.  Don't be that guy.  Conserve your energy.  Conserve your resources.  Continue forward, based on new facts, not merely rumors or possibilities.  Facts.  Keep grinding and do not get rattled.

Those who lose their heads...

III Citadel

It is time for those who are serious about a place in the Citadel for their families to begin the formal application process.

A very large number of you submitted the "Reservation Form" in the last 2 months, securing your position in line for this day.  And now the day has come.  We are accepting formal applications right now.  Your place in the Citadel is purely first-come, first in line. 

Now is the time to submit your formal application: Here is the link.

Where will you and your family meet the Marxists in your future?

III: Time to focus

You feel the tempo quickening.  You know the destination.  The only remaining variables are what details lie between here and there, now and then.  And there will be many details, the situation on the ground will remain fluid and dynamic, especially in different parts of the country.

The timeline is impossible to flesh out accurately, and will remain so.

Any extraneous activities in which you have been indulging need to stop.

Every move you make, every action you take, must now advance your position.  Think carefully about that, Patriots.  If the news cycles over the holidays have revealed anything to you, it must be that the Enemies of Liberty are not playing a game.  They will have you bend knee, or dead.

In a fight with a younger, stronger, faster and better trained enemy (or multiple enemies) there are many mistakes you will only get to make once.  The first rule is do not waste your energy with unnecessary motion.  Please pay attention to that rule, folks.  Apply it to every aspect of life.

Here are a few tidbits that have fleshed out over the holidays: Any AWB or even Hi Cap ban will take many months at a bare minimum to become law (I remain convinced it will not become law without war - and this is not how they want the war to begin).  Even the President is leaving the timeline open-ended, and "hoping" to "get it done this year", leaving it open for 2014.  What does that mean?  It means manufacturers will add capacity and they will add staff and they will crank product as fast as they are able.  It means prices will rise, but product will be available.  And if you have been wondering about III Arms, nothing has changed.  If Obama has not imposed an EO yet, he won't - at least for many, many months and only then if he is getting shut down in Congress.  First come, first built at III Arms - have you secured your place in line?  Better move, one other tidbit is pure Free Enterprise: Prices WILL rise.

This all translates to a timeline that continues to give Patriots a bit of time to lay in more preps and even relocate if that is in your plans.  The Citadel is charging forward with determination, and it will be prepared to offer safe haven before the storm, even if that safe haven is modified.  So for you folks who have been waiting for the holidays to pass before taking the next step regarding the Citadel, I will offer this single warning: Go there now and reserve your space.  Many of you reserved prior to the Application process - now is time to formerly apply.  If you have not reserved your place in line - you may be out of luck when crunch-time hits.  Here's the link.

And now a simple question, that I do not want you to answer anywhere except in your own head:

If it started tomorrow, have you a hard plan for the first 72 hours?  Do you know where you will go, what you will take, what you will challenge?

If you don't know that answer, get on it.

Welcome to 2013.

America is gearing up...like Americans.

Every month gun sales are setting new records.  And we are not talking about minor increases over the previous month.  November 2012 saw 2 millions NICS checks.  December rose to 2.8 million - a statistical earthquake.

For 2012 the FBI ran 19.6 million checks, a records that crushed 2011 by 19%.  And you will remember that 2011 was not a slow year for moving firearms.

I wrote several weeks ago that Americans were preparing for war.  You will not be able to convince me I am wrong.  Circumstances may change and war may be averted, but DHS is not the only group of Americans that can buy bulk ammo.

Here is a simple truth many of you may not have considered: If events get sporty all commercial sources of resupply will be closed to you.  .Gov or Warlords will move immediately to control or destroy arms plants.  Ruger, Colt, Beretta, et cetera will get locked down.  You will remember that Beretta was building for the Germans for a while in WWII.  That's simply how it works.

I'll leave it to you to noodle through your work-arounds.

There are always work-arounds.

Killin' Commies: 2013

As it is the first of the year I think it is fair to begin with a brief explanation of why I will act this year as I intend.  Many of you who have followed me for a while already know the answer.  Others will never bother to take the time to go back and read the essays I have written over the years to support my actions.  So, I will offer this brief summary.

Golitsyn was correct.  Marxism has infiltrated America, currently has hold of the remainder of the planet, and is preparing for the final event, that final challenge when the Enemies of Liberty drop all facades and seek to murder the final remnants of Liberty and gather America into the arms of Marxism fully.

Some fools have accused me of seeking to build a mountain of skulls.  To them I say simply: Go die.  Every mountain of skulls in the past few hundred years has been the result of tyrants in charges of tyrannical governments attacking their own citizens and through foreign wars.  No man seeking Jefferson's Rightful Liberty has ever built a mountain of skulls, and it will remain that way.  I will not further attempt to dispute this obvious truth with fools.

Most Marxists in America do not even know enough to label themselves as such.  They prefer words like Liberal, or Democrat, or Compassionate Conservative or Establishment Republican.  But the commonality amongst them all is simple and obvious: They each believe it is the moral Right of the majority to take from one citizen the fruits of his labor and deliver that fruit to another Citizen, through the force of Government and at the muzzle of Government weapons.

I was raised in a family that abhorred Marxism, and considered the defeat of Marxism, by any means necessary, to be the responsibility of the adult generation of every American family, a debt owed to the younger generations of Americans.

Stopping Marxists is Patriotic.

Killing Marxists is merely a means to the end of Marxism.

The Cold War never ended, Patriots.  The Marxists are here, they call themselves American Patriots with "...legitimate differences of political opinion..."

They are a cancer upon humanity.

Marxism is a cancer that we, the patient, can battle ourselves.

If we fall to this cancer, it is because we allowed it to happen.

I am an American.

Rightful Liberty can not coexist with Marxism.

I am done explaining myself.

I know you can feel it...

...there is a hardening among Patriots.

Visceral.

A resignation.

I mentioned many weeks ago that guns and ammo were selling because Americans were preparing for war.

As I reflect on that analysis and consider the general calm among the men and women I consider allies, the Warrior in me can only nod in respect.

I do not see panic.  I do not see outrage.  I do not see unhinged emotions.

I see acceptance.

I see an American trait that I had feared was all but dead.

I see Patriots who have simply decided it is what it is, and if they mean to have war...come get some.

Whatever comes in the coming hours, days, or months, I am proud to have known you.

Will History know your name?

The average age of the militiaman in Lexington when SHTF was 32.

The Minutemen in most communities were usually younger.

John Parker was 46 years old - and terminally ill - when he went to the Green.

Francis Marion (The "real" Benjamin Martin) was 44 years old.

The average age of the men who would soon fight under George Washington was about 21.

In 1776 the average age of our Founders was 43. (Full list below)

Just fewer than 400 years ago the first Pilgrims set sail for and arrived in America in 1620.  They left England, as we all know, to escape tyranny.

That tyranny followed the Pilgrims, and just about 150 years later they were forced to the events of Lexington. 

Liberty won and beat back Tyranny, for a while.  But the fight between Tyranny & Liberty is eternal.

Just 70 years or so later Tyranny flexed again in the name of Lincoln, who won and imposed Tyranny once again over the last place on Earth where Tyranny did not previously reign.

It is now 2013.  About 150 years have passed since Lincoln enslaved the nation and began delivering the continent to the forces of Tyranny.  In this year of 2013 the forces of Tyranny stand ready to snuff the last glimmers of Liberty from Earth.

It is the Nature of (many) Man to seek to be Masters.  It is the nature of (most) humans to permit Tyranny to rule over them.  This simple reality is clear in our histories.

The first Americans fled to this land to the only place on Earth that was not under the rule of Tyrants.

The Tyrants followed.  The forces of Tyranny are now preparing to snuff from existence the last bit of Liberty from the last place on Earth - right here, right now.

There is to be one final fight between Liberty and Tyranny on Earth.  There is no other place to run.

The fight will happen here.

The fight will happen now.

How will History record your name?

When the only recourse is Patriots...

Pat Buchanan: This un-American and egalitarian fanaticism rearing its head today may one day force just such a question upon American patriots.

This is from his latest column.

When even the likes of PJB cast a gaze toward America's Patriots as a potential remedy, one must understand that in the minds of many millions of our Countrymen, we Patriots have moved from "the Fringe".

Here's the piece.

DC Rumor re: AWB & Republicans

There is a rumor beginning to circulate here in my home town that Congressional (Establishment) Rs are floating the concept that allowing DiFi to get her AWB would be a "...good political move, and help Rs retake the entire Congress in the mid-terms..."

I shit thee not.

This political calculus, if there is any merit to it, demonstrates how out of touch Establishment Rs are with reality.

A new AWB/Hi Cap ban, whether passed legislatively or extra-constitutionally, will mean open warfare in America - not favorable political conditions for the mid-term cycle.

Mucking Forons.

The final day of this year...

TL is doing the work of a Patriot.

Sandman delivered a simple statement representing several militias.

Denninger is recommending a variation of the sticker campaign.

Craig made his position clear about 2 weeks ago with a simple, poignant video.

Many bloggers are firming rhetoric.

Gun and ammo sales are at historic levels. 

Many Patriots are locking and loading and putting affairs in order.

The most aggressive Enemies of Liberty are making moves, right now.  Public, noisy moves.

Is AWB rhetoric a Sparklie, merely to settle for the Mental Health solution offered up by NRA?  Are the Marxists merely probing?  Have they reached a point where they believe they genuinely have everything they need to strike the opening salvo against the final remnants of Liberty?  Are they simply blustering in an effort to provoke a Fort Sumter, a casus belli with which they can march forward against the right wing nuts with public approval?

Cut through all of the what-ifs and maybes and other unknowns, and what remains?

What remains is the same reality many of us have been repeating ad nauseum for years: Marxists among us mean to have you bend knee or dead.

I have an email box filled with people asking me what I think, what I suggest, what I counsel.

My counsel remains what it has been since my very first column:

Memento mori

Remember you must die...

...die well.

And for the record: I remain convinced that this latest bout of Gun Control hysteria is exactly that, and will go nowhere through Congress.  Mental Health is possible, but AWB or Hi Cap will not pass legislatively.  Extra-Constitutionally (Exec Order)?  Maybe, but that means war.  There will be no middle ground this time.

Civil War or Redskins - which is better for Ratings...

Drudge just changed his Leader to the Redskins/Cowboys game.

All weekend the Leaderboard warned of Gun Control and Civil War.

Drudge is not merely pandering for the Redskins audience.  You know he is painting the picture that even while perhaps hurtling toward the horrible reality of war between us, most of our Countrymen are oblivious...

You'd better understand the Enemies of Liberty coming at you understand the same dynamic about your Countrymen.

Enemies of Liberty are moving to Contact...

I found the image above at AngryMike's.

It is as simple and concise as the Truth will ever be.

If you are an American, if you are alive today, and if you consider yourself a man or woman who would have stood with John Parker, then the responsibility for saving Liberty is yours.  We are the men and women who are alive at this moment of history when American Liberty may be rid from Earth forever.  We drew the short straw.  It's on you and me.

You knew it was coming.  Our long train of abuses has been documented and talked to death.

The struggle in America right now is not one of "...legitimate political differences of opinion..."

The struggle in America right now is not even one of slavery versus Liberty - for slavery has been dominant in America for a long time.

The struggle in America right now is simply: Will we witness the death of Liberty, the total subjugation of Liberty.  Will we be the Americans who watch it die and breathe its final breath, leaving nothing but darkness on Earth?

Our Founders and Framers knew they were erecting a Government that could, one day, become abusive.  They understood the Nature of Man and the Nature of Government, and they built in tools for brave and courageous and moral Americans to use over the generations to combat the inevitable.  And they warned us.  Every single Founder and Framer wrote warnings for us all that we must forever be vigilant.

Generations of Americans ignored those warnings.

And here we are.

Defining the BattleSpace

President Obama authorized a pay increase for FedGov workers.

In case you were not fully convinced of how the opening of the next Revolution will unfold, it will be by taking advantage of the resentment between those in Government and those who are recipients of Government largesse, versus those who are being robbed and told to bend knee to pay for that largesse.

There has been a systemic pattern of making life easier for Team Marx and piling insult and injury upon Team Liberty for years, and now they are deliberately rubbing your noses in it.
