IIIGear & Raffle for the PSA

 

A large load of IIIGear shipped this afternoon, and when I returned to the shop our last Condor order had arrived - so we'll get the back-orders filled tomorrow.

Raffle:  I am going to raffle the Cold Steel folder at right, proceeds will all go toward our PSA fund.  The knife has the III on both sides of the blade.  This is a big folder - 5" blade.  Blade is 1/2 serrated - and wicked sharp. $9 for a ticket.

Motor Vehicle Advice

**UPDATE** From you folks who have owned small Class C rigs - is it worth it if you plan looping the country a few times?  I know diesel is better.  The advantage - I get to have Holly and the dogs with me 24/7.  I get to save on hotel.  I get to live among my own stuff and not live out of suitcases.

Downsides - I move slower.  I pay more in fuel.  Repairing parts and pieces is more frequent. 

Anything I am really missing?  Screw the CruiseAmerica - I have found hunting on Craigslist can find a few gems.  But I'd like some insight from folks who have done it.  I'll probably need either a pair of motorcycles or a small car for local jaunts.

Thanks - K

I am considering a used RV from CruiseAmerica as my primary means of transportation for CQB training.  For instance, this first trip will have me looping the entire country in about 5 weeks: DC, Illinois, Idaho, Colorado, Sothern California, and WV - and I haven't even sorted dates in the queue for the southern part of the country.

A used RV would allow Holly and the dogs to travel with me, and I could avoid all the housing costs and imposing on kind Patriots.  There are downsides, but not important for this post.

So - I am reaching out to you folks who are good with automobiles.  Back in the day before computers (specifically Jeeps and Chevys) I was competent enough to keep my machines running - but I suck at diagnostics on automobiles. 

So, what should I look for when considering a used RV from a drivetrain and suspension perspective?  From what I can tell, CruiseAmerica buys predominantly V-10 Fords (gasoline) and they sell once the truck hits about 180,000 miles.

I am particularly considering the 23A model.

Here's a link.

Any insight would be helpful from car/truck gurus.

Patriots: Time for a Gut Check

Because I have recently announced that one of my III activities will directly benefit me (I will be earning income from my CQB training classes) I think I am now obligated to allow you a few insights that I kept to myself in the past.  I have a very well-defined sense of morality (no, really!  I do!  ;), and I draw lines where many of you do not.  One of my rules is: If I am making money from you, you are entitled to more info.  If I am not making money from an activity, I owe very few personal details.

Call me quirky.

Much of my philosophical outlook is based on feudal Japanese Samurai teachings.  Much of what I consider important does not resonate well in modern America.  There are times I feel it is appropriate to defend myself against accusations and provide explanations - and other times, not.

I will begin with a mea culpa: IIIGear - Since I never ran IIIGear as a business (only in my spare time), some of you have had delays that I am not happy with, at all.  At this moment I have a pile of Liberty Congress shirts and small pile of hoodies that need to ship, but everything else is out the door.  Going forward, now that I have shut down my distracting personal businesses, this will improve.

For instance, in the years that MBV, Firestone and others have been slinging poo at me, I usually respond with dismissive snark - yes, I can be a rude MF'er.  But I never really address their direct attacks, because they were beneath me, and lies.

But now that I am going to pay my bills by teaching some of you CQB, I will answer more candidly.  BTW - this is prompted by a PoS who calls himself "ThreeperUnited" and a familiar commenter "LFMayor", both of whom decided to take shots at me recently at CAs place.

And here is also where the Gut Check comes in for the wider community.  Be sure you don't fall into the trap of accepting rumor or slander as fact.

The comment made by "ThreeperUnited was: Heating, air conditioning, Renaissance Faire magazines, firearms manufacturing, security consulting: Is there nothing Kerodin can’t do?

First, there is PLENTY that Kerodin can't do.  But let's dissect the comment.  First, Heating, Air Conditioning: I am f'n good at it.  I began on my 18th birthday.  I have had more than 20,000 (let that number sink in) customers in the nearly 30 years since I began.  I have owned my own HVAC company and employed more than 50 people.  I am currently in the process of selling my company.  Additionally, I have designed a revolutionary AC system that I am taking my time introducing to industry - I don't want it to end up on the shelf with the legendary water-fueled car engine.

RenFaire Magazine: My wife and I have run (and continue to run) a very successful boutique publishing house.  One of the projects we considered was a magazine directed toward the RenFaire community.  We dropped the project for a few reasons - primarily there was insufficient base to make the project profitable, and because a particular segment of that community is a bunch of idiots (Not all, there are some first-class people in that world).  Not every idea pans out in business - just ask any successful businessman you know.  RenFaire Magazine aside, we have been very successful and have published newspapers, magazines, and books - for years.  And, we are good at it.

Firearms Manufacturing: Well, duh.  Obviously I do not manufacture firearms, but I proudly claim I had a little something to do with helping get III Arms into business.  Nearly 50 Patriots helped financially, and HUNDREDS more helped with moral support and technical assistance.  Jim Miller took point, and today III Arms is growing closer to delivering the first product.  So, I stand guilty again.

Security Consulting: Guilty again.  I was a Professional (which means I got paid for the work I did) in providing security consulting to major corporate costumers.  I was also paid for employing my martial skills in other venues. 

Citadel: You can't find ONE single person who applied to the Citadel who can prove they have been "scammed" or not been issued a refund, if they have asked.  (To date I think 3 people have changed their minds and asked for application refunds - in 2 cases they bought land very near the Citadel site)  Not one indictment from one single States Attorney, Attorney General, US Attorney, SEC, FTC...not one.  Imagine that.

I have several other businesses at which I have earned money.  I have a few that went nowhere.

Now for the gut check: When did it become distasteful to be good at more than one skill?  When did "Patriots" start slinging poo at people just because they are successful?

Now for a challenge: The people who condemn me for the Citadel, III Arms, my HVAC or publishing accomplishments, all of the people who like to call me a "Scam Artist" - have you noticed that these people have not once, ever, never, found one single person who has had a verified business dealing with me who claims I ripped them off?  Not one unhappy HVAC customer out of 20,000+.  Not one person who says I took money and failed to satisfy the agreement or provide a refund.  Not one. (Well, let me clarify - I had one former sales slug sue me, and I still say he's a PoS who couldn't get the job done)

No, the people complaining - like Mike Vanderboegh, Mark Firestone, Carol King, Tino, Razor, Rawles, etc, are people who never once had a business dealing with me.

So the next time you see or hear someone calling me, or anyone else, a "Scam Artist", just ask them for one little detail: Proof.  And if they can not provide an actual person who has actually been harmed by the "Scam Artist", you know you are in the company of an idiot, or liar.

I've said my piece, and won't return to this topic.

CQB: West Virginia/Ohio July 20

West Virginia Class: If you want to join the West Virginia CQB Class on 20 July, you are welcome IF you are a III Arms Founder.  The cost is $210 - please hit the PayPal link below.

You may also attend if you are known to Sandman and attended the E1 PatCon.

Muster point will be announced later, but it will be in the town of Gallipolis Ohio.

I will be cutting the class off at 20 participants, so if you want to be there, sign up early, please.

I'll be posting a calendar/schedule over at the III CQB site in the next few days.

Thank you,

III CQB - Tentative Schedule

At the moment we are looking at the following tentative schedule:

Depending on how the schedule works out, I will be at the Citadel Stronghold either prior to SoCal, or between SoCal and Colorado.  We have begun to arrange meetings with Contractors to begin development of the location.  There will also be meetings with a few locals, such as the Sheriff.  Jim Miller may be in attendance, and Patriots in the area are welcome to join us to get eyes-on the site.  I'll announce the actual dates once we know for certain.

(Perhaps)  Illinois in late June or very early July

July 6 or 7 - SoCal (Orange County)
July 12 & 13 - Western Colorado
July 20 - West Virginia (This may be a closed class)

July 27 Weekend - Central Pennsylvania for Patriots in Western PA and Jersey.  Let me know if this works for you guys and we'll firm the date.  If so, try to get as many people as possible, and I'll begin advertising for additional students.

**Note**  I'd like to schedule a Northeast CQB class for early August.  I also know a Miami area course is being contemplated, and when those guys determine their preferred dates, we'll make accommodations.  August is good for me the way things are shaping up.  Anyone between DC and Miami that is considering a class, shoot for August.  My hope is that we have raised sufficient PSA funds so we can shoot the III PSA while I am in Miami.

All Patriots: If you know I am going to be holding a class in range for you to travel, even if the advertised class is "closed", I am flexible and can schedule a second class for the following day.  So if you want to train in WV but the class is closed, we can hold a special class the following day.  Don't hesitate to zip me an email, we can make it work.

Thanks to all.

III CQB - Website & Bona Fides

Several Patriots have written and asked me to post a resume of sorts.  Fair enough.

I rarely discuss my past training or professional engagements - hubris sucks.

Given my name and my enemies, I will not name where and with whom I have trained over the years.  I owe these people too much to have the likes of Vanderboegh, Firestone et al start their typical bullshit.  Nor will I give any hard details about where and how I used my skillset professionally - I think most of you understand that.  But I have given a thumbnail sketch of my creds.

My "Foundation" is combat effective aiki jujutsu, taught primarily by old Japanese men who learned from the best Japan had to offer.  My sword and knife skills were generally taught by the same breed of men.

I added a ruthlessly effective groundfighting skillset to complement my aiki, taught by names you would recognize as among the best in America.

Just about 30 years ago I met a Vietnam vet (a South Vietnamese Colonel who worked with Green Berets during the war) and he helped me build a very focused skillset in elbows and knees in the art of Vo Bihn Dihn.  You would not know this teachers name.

In my younger years Soldier of Fortune magazine allowed mercenaries to advertise in their classified section.  I paid more than a dozen men to teach me things that were not taught in a dojo.  Additionally, I learned my firearms skills by combat vets in my family.  I was double-tapping pumpkins with a WWII 1911 at 14 years of age on the banks of the Patuxtant River, just off Chesapeake Bay.

Yes, I honed all of these skills far away from the safety of a dojo where there were no points, no tap outs, and second place would have found me bleeding out in a gutter.  But I won't be telling you about those experiences, either.

Words are fine, but really amount to little.  One can study martial arts for a lifetime and get his clock cleaned by a chick with an attitude.  Being a "Martial Artist" is not the same as being a "Warrior", a person who is able to put those skills to use in a deathfight.  And being able to teach is another level altogether.  So as you read my "resume", just remember I will never prove myself to you until you put your hands on me.  That's when you'll know for sure.  I'll give all of you that opportunity.

Here's a link to some basics.

Bonnie Gadsden Reports

Miami Beach LEO felt they were being threatened by a black teenager - holding a puppy.

So, they jacked him.

Do you know how to stop a man from succeeding when he decides to put his hands on you, choke you, chain you up and otherwise force you to rely on the mercy of his good nature?

If you are in this Patriot game, you'd better know how to defeat attempts to put you down.

Blatant, shameless plug: Sign up for my CQB class, and you'll know how to put his face in the pavement.  What you do after that is up to you.  But before you can defend anyone you love, you need to know how to defend yourself.

III CQB Training - Update

Thank you for the response, folks.  I am overwhelmed by each and every one of you not only seeking training, but supporting my efforts.

Scheduling: I will be west of the Rockies in the early part of July, and in West Virginia beginning the third weekend in July.

If you are west of the Rockies and are thinking about scheduling a class, please shoot for late June/Early/mid July.  Talk with your Team and get your reservation in as soon as you are able.

My schedule permits me to train any day of the week.  I know many of your Team may be restricted to weekends, just remember I am flexible.

At some point during the western trip I will be at the Citadel site advancing that project.  As the dates firm up I'll let you know, so if anyone wants to hook up at the StrongHold, you are welcome.  I can't promise I'll have a lot of time in any one spot, there is a LOT of ground to cover.

The coming Storm is an Extinction Level Event

Walter Williams: Since the 1791 ratification of our Constitution, until well into the 1920s, federal spending as a percentage of gross domestic product never exceeded 5 percent, except during war. Today federal spending is 25 percent of our GDP. State and local government spending is about 15 percent of the GDP. That means government spends more than 40 cents of each dollar we earn. If we add government's regulatory burden, which is simply a disguised form of taxation, the government take is more than 50 percent of what we produce. [emphasis added K]

America was jacked for more than $16 Trillion in wealth during the 2007 crash.  Big Banks managed to eliminate competition (Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch had their throats slit), and get US Taxpayers to pay off debts owed to them ($12.9 Billion owed by AIG to Goldman was paid by taxpayers), and to keep the entire system from collapsing they managed to get the Federal Reserve to begin debasing the Dollar by printing more.  Banksters and .Gov insist that inflation is nearly non-existent right now - but you know that a pound of butter before the crash was $1.99 and now that same butter is $3.99 - a 100% increase.  The buying power of the Dollar has been wrecked.  Pensions have been looted. 

And the beat goes on...

Right now bubbles exist in several economic sectors.  The stock market is the biggest right now, and likely to burst first, causing a cascade failure as other bubbles pop.  Gold has been artificially suppressed so that Bad People can buy in bulk before the Dollar gives up the ghost.  If you have been watching Gold, you know that they play fractional reserve games in that market as well, and people who have standing orders for delivery have begun getting Dear John letters - there is no gold to satisfy the contract.  In some cases the seller is sending fiat.  Consider that for a moment.  You have a gold contract because you think fiat is risky - and when you tell them to send your gold, they send you fiat instead.  Paper.  Paper that today will buy you 1/2 the quantity of butter that it would have bought just a few years ago.

According to WaPo, America has recovered less than 1/2 of the $16 Trillion lost.  That number is probably skewed by bogus calculating methods - the real recovery is probably closer to 10%, and that is because people and companies are sitting on their cash, not spending it.

Banksters and Bad People mean to wring out every dollar of wealth you possess, so they are blowing more bubbles just so they can pop, and in that popping the looting will occur again.  But this time, there will not be enough assets to satisfy the greed, and they know it.

That is why they are buying gold.

Most people reading this blog already know that America is being deliberately looted and made vulnerable by forces who are working together to achieve their personal goals.  Many people simply want wealth.  Others want to impose a tyranny that can only be set in place by destroying the fundamentals of America.  These groups are working together, and the End Game is nearly upon us.

Implosion is imminent. 

Bad People are destroying your Birthright.  Bad People are maneuvering to ensure your children are enslaved from birth to death.  Bad People do not have horns and tails for easy identification.

But you know them when you see them.  You know them by their actions.

Any person who participates in the infringement of your Rightful Liberty is, by definition, a Bad Person.

How you choose to deal with people who mean to have you bend knee is up to you.  But until you understand that the woman working the DMV counter is as guilty of suppressing your Rightful Liberty as is the secretary at Goldman who handles the details for the executives, and as guilty as the mayor in the town that uses the police department as a revenue generator, and the LEO who writes the ticket at the town speed trap - you will never be able to rid yourself of the cancer that is your neighbor.

If you want an America again that lives according to the ideals as set forth in the DoI and BoR, then you must come to grips with the fact that anyone who does not share those values needs to go.  Any person who votes for a politician who passes unconstitutional infringements is as guilty as the politician himself.  Passing a law that infringes your access to 2A is NOT a "Legitimate difference of political opinion..."  Voting for a politician who promises to ignore the Constitution is NOT "Free Speech" - it is action taken to undermine the Liberty intended by our Founders.  It is Treason. 

Oath Keepers who arrest a person for pot are not Patriots.  When that county LEO is praised as an Oath Keeper, yet he adds a gun charge on a kid for carrying, the hypocrisy is staggering.  Anyone who played any role in facilitating the door-to-door searches in Boston in violation of 4A - from the guy kicking in the door to the dispatcher who directs troops to the REMF who gave the order - is guilty of willful violation of their oath.

Republicans who look for a way to "Make Social Security stronger..." are not Patriots - they advocate the forcible theft from you of the fruits of your labor.  They are the Enemies of Liberty.

It really is that simple.

I hope you recognize how many people in your daily life will accept, advocate, and even help infringe your Rightful Liberty.  I hope you can draw a hard line and treat them accordingly.

Because a storm is coming.  Liberty will live or die based on what you choose to do.

Extinction is imminent for either the Bad People - or you.

III CQB Training

A quick peek inside the world of the Kerodins is in order before we get to the CQB course.

The last year has seen several III projects grow to the point that they require the bulk of our attention every day.  Holly and I have had less and less time to focus on the business activities that pay our bills, so we decided to wind those business activities down so we could focus entirely on III projects.  We have several III projects in the queue that we simply haven't had time to roll out, yet.  IIIGear has grown to the point that it requires daily attention, or ugly delays happen.  The Congress has work on the table that hasn't been pushed out the door.  There simply aren't enough hours in a day.  So the last few months have included work on our part to close down our unrelated businesses.

We still have bills to pay - we enjoy eating every day.  So we decided to build a business that will pay our bills and allow for all of our attention to be focused on III projects. 

Welcome to the beginning of III CQB.  This is how Holly and I will earn the bulk of our income for the next year or so.  We have developed a CQB core program specifically for III Patriots who anticipate being forced into conflict.  The program is also suited for general daily self defense.

The course is *NOT* a martial arts course.  No kata or exotic techniques are included.  I have put together a package that is intended to teach you the fundamentals along with hardcore finishing techniques to end deathfights. 

The techniques I have included in this package are designed for men and women equally, and if you aren't in the best physical shape you'll still do fine.  The course is a matter of craft and technique, not brute strength, size or condition.

How much can you learn in a single day of III CQB training?  I say this as humbly as I am able: I am a good teacher.  At the end of the 8-hour day you will be sore, tired, and your CQB skillset will be better than most LEO and .mil that you may face.  You will not be ready to step into a cage match, but you will be able to defeat most men who dare put their hands on you.  Continued training with your Tribe will help turn techniques into muscle memory.

You'll learn to choke 'em, break 'em and take weapons from 'em. (I'll bring the Blue Gun trainers.)  You'll learn where to hit 'em, what to hit 'em with and how to hit 'em.

Even though I am pricing the course far below market, economic realities demand that I set a minimum class size.  (I was paying $250 for an hour of individual class time with certain instructors in the mid-90's to learn particular techniques - I am charging less than that for an 8 hour course today.)  I encourage anyone who wants to check the market value to go to *any* belt-factory/dojo in your AO and ask the teacher what $210 will get you.  ;)

Scholarships: Many of our fellow Patriots are unable to pay for class time, but they need the training.  If you are in a position to help your fellow Patriots, I will accept course fee donations (anonymity ensured) and award a scholarship to a deserving Patriot.  If you can afford to pay for a single class, or for several slots, you will be helping Patriots across the country receive training that they otherwise would have to miss.  Your help may result in giving a Patriot the skills he or she will one day use to save lives.

Location: Classes will usually be held in your AO, at a site you use for an FTX.  We can also do this in the back yard of one of your Tribe.  Outdoors on grass is best.  Weather is irrelevant - though if you want to train indoors, feel free to secure a venue.  I am willing to travel anywhere in the US (the travel aspect will actually help me accomplish more III business as I move around the country)  If you are local to the DC Metro I will designate the location.  If you are in the North West, we can hold classes at the Citadel site.

Gear/Clothing: Train as you intend to fight.  I don't care if you show up for class in cammies and combat boots, jeans and sneakers, sweats, a gi, or shorts - your call.  2 notes: Women, sports bra is a necessity.  Guys, wear a jock - rockin' commando in a CQB class will not be appreciated by your training partners.  I will bring Blue Gun trainers for each class, no live blades or firearms.   

Costs:  $210/person with an 8-student minimum class size.  (If you have fewer than 8 people but still want the class, all you need to do is simply cover the cost of the open slots among those who will attend.  Example: A class of 6 students =  $280 per.)  Maximum class size is 20 people (training in 10 pairs.)  I refuse to fly, all of my travel is done by driving. 

If you have more than 20 people and want everyone to train together, let me know and I will arrange for an assistant instructor to ensure everyone gets the required supervision.  Or we can schedule 2 days back-to-back.  I'm flexible. 

Payment: I will secure your requested date with a $100 deposit.  Full payment must be made at least 2 weeks before your training date.  I'll set up PayPal, and you can always send checks/Money Orders/silver or gold (American Eagles only, please.)  Please be sure to email me to ensure your target date is available.

PerSec & OpSec: I do not need to know the names of you or your Tribe.  If you are part of a Militia, have your CO handle payment.  Non-militia can use the same process - designate a pointman as contact and keep everyone else anonymous, if you wish.

Entrepreneurs: I don't care if you sell slots above my rate.  Example: If you want to sell slots at $250 each and put the extra cash in your Tribe Fund or your pocket, go for it.

Holly and I decided against building a promotional video.  We may change our minds later, once we expand to the wider Liberty Movement and martial world, but for now we'll leave the course curriculum off YouTube.  A simple website will go live in a while, but it will be a simple "Who/What/Where" site.  I won't announce my travel dates or locations if you are booking a group class and you want only your group attending.  I may select a site/date once in a while and invite groups/individuals to enroll (For example: "I will be in Tulsa for a III Gear show on Saturday, and will host a CQB class on Sunday for anyone in the Tulsa area...")

Here is a PayPal for reservations only.  It is a $100 fee to reserve your class.

III PSA

One of the reasons the III community has been able to accomplish so much forward motion in the last few years is because we have raised money to accomplish very specific goals.  That is how we made it to the radio.  That is how III Arms came into existence.  That is how the Citadel continues to advance.  That is how we have been able to put so many people in patches, shirts, caps and more to grow our ranks.

We also have had a clarity of purpose in recent years that has guided all of our efforts.  We've defined what we want to accomplish, then we lay out how we will do it, then we do it.  All of this has only been possible because Patriots have stepped up and committed their support, their expertise, experience, and resources.

Every day finds more and more headlines at Drudge that show just how divided we have become as a nation, and how we ave allowed a Tribe of anti-American, immoral parasites and those who would be Masters to rise up in our midst.  These people work every single day and spend countless millions to rid America of people like you and me, to marginalize morality, to make our posterity stupid, and to enslave our children from birth until death in oppression.

There is going to be a fight.  If we do not win, everything and every person you hold dear will be lost.  This fight will not be violence alone - nor are we going to escape violence.

The war of words and principles has boiled down to its essence, and the battlefield that has both Patriots and Enemies of Liberty lining up against one another is 2A.  First blood will probably be drawn over 2A.  No other single issue is more likely to see Patriots leave the porch than 2A.  Once the fight is underway there will be many reasons to fight - from abortion to religion to customs and taxes and more.

But the trigger will be 2A.

We have been here before.

And I would argue we stand in the precise moment today that once had Patrick Henry utter these words: It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace! but there is no peace. The war is actually begun!

This counter-revolution has been brewing for generations.  It was our grandfathers and great grandfathers who permitted the true attack against 2A to stand - 1934.  Today the Enemies of Liberty seek to take even more, removing semi-auto technology from our defensive capabilities.  They will not stop there - they will never stop.

Without 2A, you can not defend any of your Rights.

The PSA above was recently offered by an anti-gun group.  It is powerful, and it resonates with a very large portion of the population.  We need a counter-punch.  Not an NRA-approved, weak-wristed whine - but a backfist to the teeth of the Enemies of Liberty.  They need to taste copper in their mouths after watching our PSA. 

I have been considering a III-produced PSA for a while now, and it is time to move forward.  Our PSA must be powerful, it must make our point clearly, and it must be irreverent enough to gain media attention.  I have the general premise worked out, have run it by a few trusted and smart allies, and we'll tweak it a bit more as we raise money to produce it.  I have decided to shoot the PSA in the Miami area, and to use the opportunity for our southeastern Patriots to get together.

To shoot a 60 second PSA (that we can edit down to 30 seconds, thus getting 2 PSAs for the price of one) will require talent and professional videographers, post-production pros, and more.  In the end we will have a headline maker for the III and our values.  It will be a signal fire for Americans who think like we think to join us.  It will make the heads of our enemies explode.

It will move the ball forward.

We need to raise $6,500 to get this done properly.  Anyone in the media/production world knows that is a small budget - but we have several professionals who will help us get it done as inexpensively as possible.

As soon as we raise the money we'll set a production schedule and get this done.  All III Patriots who want to be on set are welcome if you can make it to Florida.

You can donate any amount via PayPal below, or you can send checks or metals via snail mail.

**NOTE** My next post will be about III CQB Training.  The program has been designed and is ready to launch.

Stay on the grind...

We have accomplished a lot as a community, especially in the last year.

We have much more to do - and much more we can do - before the wheels come off the bus.

If you feel like we are all just banging our heads against the wall as our enemies gain more and more ground, take pause, take a deep breath, then get back to your training, prepping, intel gathering, and living. 

What our enemies are doing can only end one way - Implosion and Conflict.

But what comes our way will arrive only in its proper time, place and manner - and not before.

For now use this time as a gift.  Identify Friends and Foes by their actions and with whom they choose to stand.  Strengthen your bonds and grow your Tribe. 

The number of III Patriots is small, just as it was the first time Americans fought for Liberty.  The proper place for III Patriots is on point, leading by example.  When SHTF there will be a number of newly awakened people who will choose to be free, but have no idea how to get there.  That will be the place and time for III Patriots to stand tall on point and lead others in the pursuit of Liberty.  III Patriots have what it takes to serve our ideals as an Officer Corps, a brain trust of history, and as the necessary reservoir of courage that will be imperative for Restoration.

If you haven't been there in a while, drop by Jim Miller's place and see just one example of what we III Patriots are capable of achieving together.  Here.

Check in with Bill at Jebadiah Fisher Seed, here.

Drop by the guys at CADD, and Mason Dixon Tactical, Mosby, the Citadel, Kenny's Swap Shop.

III Patriots are producers.  We work.  We build. 

Soon, we will be called upon as Citizen Soldiers.  Until then, we have to prepare for that coming storm.

Ricin - but why?

Why would someone send poison to Bloomberg? 

Well, some people don't like it when politicians try to run their lives.

But when a politician uses tax dollars to help young girls find abortion clinics without parental involvement, I think one should expect a little pushback.

This is my shocked face.

The arrogance of the American political class is mind-blowing.

A reckoning is headed our way.

Land of the Parasite

One of the things that I appreciate most about our community is that so many people are able to articulate a point from a fresh angle.

Maj. Wolf points out that if we took all of the folks on Disability and put them in a state of their own, it would be the eighth largest in America.

That helps put the disability problem in perspective.  Consider a state of only those on food stamps - population 47 million.  They'd need Texas.  Better yet - Quebec.

But the answer to our problems is not finding a place in America for these people, or saving them in any way.  America simply will not survive when half the people in our borders are parasites, with another hundred million or more advocating for more parasitic behavior.

They all have to go.

Quebec.  Mexico.  Cuba.  Who cares? 

But they can't stay here.

Here's the link to Maj. Wolf's piece.

**UPDATE** 15.7% of Illinois residents are on food stamps.  Can you get your head around that, because it is challenging me.  15.7% of the population of a very capable state cannot or will not feed themselves.  Here's the link.

The Vulgar Curmudgeon

Holly pointed this story out to me a few days ago and I haven't had a chance to write about it.  Now I don't have to, because the Curmudgeon wrote an excellent piece.

I said immediately after Sandy Hook that the smart political play was expanding the mental health pool in order to make entire chunks of Americans "Prohibited Persons" for 2A.  And here it is, along with "Official" endorsement through the diagnostic tool used by physicians and mental health professionals. 

This is what "...working on gun control under the radar..." looks like.

So, you crave a piece of bacon?  Mentally unstable!  No 2A for you!

Stop worrying about magazine limits at the state level, folks.  This is a game changer.

Max Velocity Training

Sandman attended Max Velocity's training over the weekend and filed an AAR.

If you need such training, get it.  Find a way, folks.  Save your pennies to dimes, and dimes to dollars.

You can learn theory from the manuals, but you need a professional to show you the how of it all, and to guide you on what theory actually works and what theory you may/should ignore.

Here is Sandman's report.

A teachable moment?

Adam Kokesh has revealed himself to be an anti-Constitutionalist seeking the overthrow of the Federal Government, the Constitution and Bill of Rights.  He has cancelled his DC March and is now calling for marches on all 50 state capitals in what he is calling a new 'revolution', demanding secession and abandonment of the Constitution and BoR.

I stand opposed to those goals and in a foxhole I'd have to stab such people in the neck.

That said: The DC March was a move to contact that would have forced America to immediately begin confronting the topic of unconstitutional enforcement of unconstitutional laws that is murdering the republic.

The 'Teachable Moment'?

If you called him an Obama tool and smeared the premise of the DC March as a false flag event he was putting together to give the "Fort Sumter" moment, you were wrong. 

If the DC March was really a false flag, it would not have been cancelled.  The entire purpose of a false flag operation is that it happen, giving the "authority" a premise upon which to act.

No event = no false flag.

Now the important part: Watch across the blogs that called Kokesh an Obama tool and the entire DC March nothing more than a false flag, and see if those people who blogged such and commented such will admit they were wrong.  Particularly watch the treasonous "Not one more inch..." and "OathKeeper" crowds.

Most such people will simply say 'See, I told you so'.

Because their goal was never an objective assessment of the event or intellectual honesty. 

Their true motive, in most cases, was personal gain.  Liberty will not, cannot, be won by such people. 

And if we cannot be honest, we do not deserve Liberty.
