A warm weather Citadel?

The Citadel concept has captured attention from all over America and across the world.

The media buzz is astounding - more on that in the near future.  The interest from individuals is mind-blowing.

A local Government in Texas is even interested in the concept of locating Citadel assets in their town.  We've had many inquiries from Citizens of Texas on the same topic.  What do you think?  A scaled version of the Citadel somewhere along the Texas Gulf Coast, complete with 2A manufacturing and all the other aspects discussed for the Idaho location - just not as big.

When we were contacted by representatives from this local Government we immediately saw the potential to broaden the Citadel concept, bring more Patriots into safety, add more jobs to a local economy, and sink another anchor-point for our broader goal of Continuity of Liberty.  And with local .Gov support, many hurdles immediately drop away.

Obviously there is a much more diverse set of employment opportunities already established along the Texas Gulf Coast, from fishing to oil.  The paradigm would be easier to implement than our efforts in Idaho (which will proceed at the same time.)

What say you?  Is there interest in this audience for a Texas version of the Citadel on the Gulf Coast?  It would be smaller than Idaho and designed to suit the local architecture, of course.

Weigh-in.

When they drop the optics...

New York and California are competing to be the most restrictive 2A States in the union.

Missouri Tyrants intend to give you 90 days to bend knee or face the muzzles of State weapons.

Washington State legislators introduced a bill that makes all homeowners subject to annual inspection by LEO to ensure they are in compliance with State gun laws.

And people wonder why the Citadel concept is on fire.

Because people understand a storm is coming, and they want shelter.

There are men among us who mean to be Masters.  They mean to have a war.

They mean to have you bend knee or die.

This isn't mathematics, folks.  This is simple arithmetic.

If you are missing anything in your preps, get it now at whatever cost.

You have been warned - many times.

The day our world changes will begin just like every other day...

Patriot Trading Post

A darned good idea from Kenny - a Trading Post for Patriots.

It doesn't have to be fancy, it just has to connect sellers and buyers.

Let us sing, Patriots.  Let us warn the Enemies of Liberty about what is coming their way.

Let not one book of History ever record that we did not warn Them.

Good reporting as usual, AP, where the motto is: Never let facts get in the way of a story!

When I was on SWAT our view is that "We will always win....even if we have to burn down your entire house by bombing it....we will win". Period.

You know the quote.

You've watched it happen more than once by LEO.

There. Are. No. Rules. But there is common sense...

From American Merc:  But winning the war isn't about destruction, it is about making the enemy irrelevant to the outcome. You can do that by destroying the Army, but that rarely happens in an insurgency. We never defeated the British Army in our Revolution, we simply defeated the small portion that was stationed on the Continent. The British eventually took their ball and went home until the War of 1812.

You win a war the same way you win a fight: You make the other side change their mind about fighting (best case) or you destroy their ability to fight.

You will not break the will of the enemy by targeting and killing their wives and children at home or school.  Kill my wife and what you have done is unleash me to be the most brutal bastard you've ever seen until I am dead, and you've removed any moral leash as well.  If I can't reach you, I'll find a way to bring you into the open, even if that means I eat your dog on the front steps of your home.

By the same token: The gal who is working as a clerk at City Hall who processes the arrest warrants for the Gestapo - she isn't a wife or daughter that day.  She is a tool of the enemy, doing the work of the enemy, keeping the machine of the enemy running.  When she no longer processes those papers, the ability of the enemy is diminished.

Yes, Virginia, Evil people can have a vagina, too.

Understand the differences and work the nuances into whatever matrix you have built for yourself.

Starting a Civil War: Check!

So we have a Leftist Useful Idiot trying to blow a bomb because he anticipates an over-reaction from Bubba, and an ensuing war in which his Marxist allies will own America.

No, this is not the plot of a novel.

It is not a "What if..." at a Think Tank or a West Point White Paper.

This fuck was just busted in California.

There are men who mean to be your Masters, and they are playing their hands, right now.

30 Round Mags in stock here & there...

From Scott, if you insist on MagPul 30 round mags.  I'll reserve my commentary about CheaperThanDirt and their post-Sandy Hook behavior and their current pricing, and simply breathe in the Free Enterprise.  ;) 

Thought you'd like to share with your readers.  Little pricey for my blood:

K writing again: Folks, I am not telling you to go and pay $100 for a magazine - but I am telling you that if there is anything in your preps that is weak, buy it now.  You may never get another chance to buy it - it's like investing in gold.  Maybe the price drops the day after you buy.  That sucks - but at least you have gold.  But if the price doubles and you needed gold - you're f'd.

I have heard this (paraphrased) from 3 different people who I consider to be "in-the-know" regarding prep assets such as mags and ammo in the last 3 days: "If NOTHING stupid happens, we can PROBABLY begin to get some product back to the shelves across the nation in 3-9 months.  But just ONE screw-up, just one wrong word from Washington, just one wrong word from NRA, just one more idiot in a school with a gun, and manufacturers will not begin to get product back in the general public for years."

Right this minute Miller has scored a shipment of 500 Thermold 30 rounders (USA made, not the Canadian crap) with help from an ally in our community.  The guys at NC Renegade (CADD Graphics) also have some they have for sale here.  You'll notice that various vendors are clearing their backorders enough to, once in a while, on a few products, offer small lots to the general public.

That is good.  Some things like mags are easy to produce and get out the door relatively quickly.  Ammo is also one of those commodities, but ammo is under more pressure than mags, it is also a consumable - meaning that guys shoot ammo every week and need to not only replace what they just shot, but also need to add to overall prep numbers.  That all equals more market pressure on ammo.

As for ARs and other fighting arms: These are the hardest to get to market in terms of timeline for manufacturers.  Look at the shelves in your AO.  A few brand new rifles, from various manufacturers, with fat prices hanging on the tags.  The smaller the manufacturer, the longer it will take you to see one of his firearms just sitting on a shelf, because most smaller manufacturers already have a list of named buyers out the door and around the block.  Companies like Ruger, Bushmaster, et cetera with "real" manufacturing capability still haven't been able to get product out the door fast enough to fill anyone's shelves.

I saw an ad online the other day for a Mosin for $800 - and it was bought within 4 hours.

You need to look at this market with a Militiaman's savvy:  If you truly think the Enemies of Liberty are moving toward contact, right now, then you'd better do what you need to do to fill those holes in your preps locker, right now.  The days of $600 ARs are over.  If they ever return, it won't be for a LONG time.  The days of .556 NATO at twenty cents a round are over.

Then again - we could wake up tomorrow and find a President in the White House who has been possessed by the spirit of Thomas Jefferson, and we won't need any of our preps.

Bet accordingly...

I just got an email from him that he's had issues getting into his blog last week while DoD was all over his SiteMeter, his email has been erratic, and now he is shut down.

At this moment he is good with no overt OpFor contact.

Underestimate the wrong person at your peril...

In my experience men tend to rely on Ego and strength.  Women are far better technicians in the arts, because they have no choice - they can't over-power the average attacker, they must execute technique properly.

Yes, I always grin when I watch the surprised guy tapping out when he never thought it could happen.

Is this piece choreographed?  Only to a degree.  You'll notice that as the lass begins to climb the guy like a ladder she throws a knee at his head.  He has 2 choices - take the knee in the ear or defend himself by leaning back - which she uses to continue climbing and executing her leg lock.  You'll also notice that at the end she has his arm trapped beneath her body for an elbow lock as well.  You see him throw himself into a forward roll that may look choreographed - but it is a defensive move.  If he didn't dive into a forward roll, he's got an 85 pound gal hanging from his neck with a leg lock in place...with her hands in perfect position to make wine with his grapes.

Dude's in trouble.  ;)

A good fight can look remarkably like an elegant dance...

30 seconds flat...

A guy told me one time, "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner." Now, if you're on me and you gotta move when I move, how do you expect to keep a... a marriage? - DeNiro in 'Heat'

I have the emotional ability to walk away from anyone, at any time, for any reason, without looking back - except my wife.

This is a new development for me - I never had this connection before.  I met H almost 12 years ago, knew within ten minutes of meeting her that she was the girl for me, and this connection grows stronger every single day.

As I've traveled through life I have found my ability to walk away from people - be they friend, family, romantic interest, whatever, is not an ability most people possess.  I've had to walk away from a few people even online, for they chose a path I would not walk.  For the professionals out there profiling me, I'm not giving away any information not already in my folder.

Prior to my wife I lived differently than I do now.  Tomorrow never mattered.  If I spent what money was in my pocket, no big deal - if I wake up tomorrow and need more, I know how to get it.  Since my early 20's I've tried to keep a few constants in my life, including at least one 4x4 (usually a CJ or Chevy), and an Akita, and we slept on many dojo floors across the country.  Life was a daily event, not an ongoing event.

Leaving the porch would have been a different equation prior to my wife.  I still have the same understanding of Life and Death, of our insignificance as silly bi-peds on a rock spinning through space, where we all fit in the larger picture.  No matter what I do, in 100 years I will be dead and returned whence I came.  Who is, or is not, a slave on this silly planet in 100 years won't matter to me one whit.  But now I have a reason to stay on this plane of existence longer.

I have talked to enough of you to know you share my view.  Once you have something in life from which you are unwilling to walk away, you start doing things like buckling the seatbealt.  You wear the flippin' helmet on the bike.  You don't pick fights with people three times your size just to see what happens this time. 

Yet there is also a new blossom on the emotional tree of Life.  Every action now is for higher stakes.

Now if you must throw elbows it is for all the marbles, not just for fun.

Now that you have something so precious , protecting and defending that person (or family) becomes your primary focus in life.  Perhaps you would have left the porch earlier in this long train of abuses if you did not have such a connection.  But now, leaving the porch is a more serious affair because you are protecting what lies behind you.  John Parker and his men did not go to the Green because the British were in front of them.  They went to the Green because their wives, families, and all that was important to them lay behind.

Something that goes too often unsaid on our blogs, and I know a great many III Patriots share this sentiment because you and I have spoken about it: Most of us have zero desire to ever leave the porch.  We do not want to do it.  But because so many of us have that extra something in life now that is our responsibility to protect, if we are forced from the porch we intend to get the work done so that the Evil no longer threatens what lies behind us.  We'll be less merciful.  We'll be less willing to stop until the job is complete.

When we were younger and had less in life, we'd have gone for God and Country.

Now if I have to go, it is for H - God and Country will simply benefit by association.

My life is meaningless in the big picture.  The life for which I will fight is worth doing whatever I need to do to protect.

Most of the people around me would be content to be left alone.  Most of the people closest to me these days share a desire to move to a community together where we can be as removed from Enemies of Liberty as possible.  But Marxists will not leave people alone.  It isn't their nature.

Marxists: You need to watch what damage is being done by one of your own in LA right now.  One of your own is exposing what one motivated man can do.  One of your own is giving you only a taste of what will happen if you force one hundred thousand American men off the porch, and we will all be motivated by far more than has led Dorner into action.

We will be motivated by God, by Country and by what lies behind us.

I know this post will not change a single Marxist mind.  I wrote it anyway.

Just because...

...lest you think I'm not all well-rounded an' sh*t.

In all seriousness, if you meet a Soul in this emotional place and your gut tells you he or she is worth the effort...be that friend.

Only the strongest can stand before the weak and protect them from the world.

Strive to be that person...as hard as you must be, to be as soft as he or she needs you to be.
