The III Percent Mission Statement: Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will
within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. ~ Thomas Jefferson
In the absence of orders, go find something Evil and kill it!
Enemies of Liberty are ruthless. To own your Liberty, you'd better come harder than your enemies..
Beck warns of the coming chaos, financial implosion, the imminence of political violence, and the Reset.
He knows it is coming. His warning eerily parallels the words to be found in this very community of Patriots.
Do you know it is coming? Not "if", but when.
Are you ready? Noone really ever knows which straw will break the camel - and when the camel breaks it is like a smooth trigger. It stands strong until it is gone. Little real warning, if any. Just sudden implosion and collapse.
I hope you are ready. I hope you are working this weekend on being prepared. Whether you are training or simply going through your gear and taking inventory and cleaning.
You have a single gift in this coming Ruckus: You have been warned that it is imminent.
Don't get caught flat-footed, wondering "when" it may happen. Don't get caught wondering "how" it may happen. Please prep and train, because whenever it does happen, it'll be on you quickly. No more value in your FRNs. Perhaps bread lines. Certainly danger when you leave the house and wander into any gathering of people.
If you are not running at Cooper Orange, you are wrong...
(For anyone who asserts that you must have a specific threat identified to go into Cooper Orange, I challenge you with this consideration: If you have not already identified the likely threats in your AO, and you do not already give them the respect and attention you would give a rattlesnake in your child's bedroom, you have already lost.)
Within the parameters of the scenario, a scenario that most of you would likely find yourselves in if faced by a HIT raid, there are the following solutions:
1) Submit. This is either done because you have no choice but to look to the safety of your family, through cowardice, or a calculated move to live to fight another day. You can either fight it through the courts as you are conditioned to do within the Matrix, or you can take the fight to the enemy and actually stand up and fight tyranny. Using the court route only works within a civilized society where the rule of law still holds true. That is not the case in our current situation. Corruption and tyranny rule.
2) Fight. You either stand and fight in your home, and likely die in place, or fight to withdraw and then go on to wage war against those that assaulted your family. I called this the John Rambo option, but did you think I was joking? No, I was deadly serious. If this type of violence is directed at you, the only reason to hold your fire is the presence of children in the crossfire. Once you either remove them or remove yourself, then you are free to rock and roll. Yes, your reputation will be destroyed and you will die in the end. Perhaps due to my background I am more ready to contemplate the reality of an escape and evasion with some offensive action thrown in, going as far as possible before finally being killed? However, if you want that freedom, you need to be prepared to fight for it. Some of us will never submit; we will never bend the knee to tyrants.
A time to live. A time to fight. A time to die.
...and...
Some will whine that not all cops are bad. That I am giving a poor presentation and that cops have a really hard job dealing with criminals. Mentally I am visualizing stomping on your head. Cops all swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. If they are not, then they are wrong. If you are a good cop, then step up and stop the bad ones. Otherwise, you are worthless. Cops exist as public servants to serve and protect the public. Any other approach is unacceptable and will not be cooperated with.
And the key to it all: What makes you so special that you will not have to fight for Liberty and Freedom?
Soak this information up, Patriots. Don't just read it once. Print this stuff out and make a library in case you can't get digital in the future.
The window of opportunity for learning these skills is closing. Guys like Mosby and Max and Mason Dixon will have seats reserved on the very first DHS bus (not me, I'm a sweetheart, those other guys are ornery) - so get their training while you are still able.
You never want your first punch to the head to come in a real fight - you want to get that out of the way in training.
Likewise, you do not want to be forced into on-the-job training when it comes to tactics for the upcoming Troubles.
You are not a "real Journalist" unless you draw a salary and have some sort of "professional qualifications" - a distinction she is trying to push to separate "Journalism" from "Free Speech".
We did this already, a long, long time ago. It was called the Alien & Sedition Acts.
Use this information as you will. If you can't see that this woman and every single one of her allies are wannabe Tyrants and Enemies of Liberty, I can't help you.
The story is simple: Girl is raped, LEO is under-staffed and unmotivated - they drag their feet on all aspects of the case. The community gets fed-up with the delays, a few grab baseball bats and go to work on the accused - who goes to the hospital.
It is called "Self-policing" or just "...taking responsibility for your own damned neighborhood..."
When everything you want from life comes to you or is handed to you through a small window in return for your EBT or credit card, or when police come running to take care of trash, the country raises parasites.
Yet when the "public services" go away and people start taking care of themselves, we have people who are being responsible for themselves, and in this case, for their neighbor.
Yes, there will certainly be a large percentage who never get out of the FSA mindset. But as we have just seen in Detroit, when push comes to shove, there is also a percentage who will stand up and go to work for their AO.
Here's a solution, and it has been discussed at more than one CQB class: Defund FedGov to the point that only enumerated powers can be executed. Defund local .Gov and starve it of all money except that needed to keep the streets clear and the trash collected (the real trash, not the genetic sort). Remove any local .Gov employees/politicians who don't like it. Remove all warning labels from all products.
Those not worthy of the gene pool will die or leave. Human Beings in self-preservation mode WILL evict dangerous animals from their AO, one way or another.
Problem solved.
Let it burn. A controlled burn, to be sure. People worthy of being American WILL rise to the top if we return to a genuine meritocracy. Let's restrict the third-party management (.Gov) to its proper role - small and very limited. Harden your hearts, there will be many Hard Things between here and there. But, hell, who promised you a rose garden?
Sam Adams was to be arrested by the British force tasked with taking the munitions in Concord.
They also had a warrant for John Hancock, a money player who helped finance the work of Adams and through him the Sons of Liberty and others.
Alan makes a very good, informed argument when he asserts that three men carried the Revolution until it was picked up by others. Adams, Hancock and Otis did a lot of work that otherwise would not, probably, have been done.
Three guys pushed hard and showed Patriots it could be done.
Now, look left and right at the Patriots you know. Is there an Adams in the mix? A Hancock with the money to finance the work that needs to be done?
Is it you? Do you have the passion needed to lead a country back to Her roots and back to Liberty?
Heroes and Founding Fathers rarely begin a day with the intent of becoming immortalized in History. Heroes and Founders are simply men and women of Principle who refuse to bend knee. They are willing to challenge Evil. They are willing to go into Harm's way.
Without Adams & Hancock, would Independence have ever become reality? Without the Boston Massacre and Tea Party, how many Patriots would have stayed on the sidelines, unwilling to move against a King?
The Enemies of Liberty are NOT strong enough to survive against a serious, principled corps of modern Patriots. It simply takes enough principled people to stand up and refuse to bend knee.
And it takes a few who are willing to throw a punch.
"Safety Inspections" that permit LEO into a random selection of 10% of apartments in the complex.
We have something similar here - the city of Gaithersburg asserts the authority to inspect every home in the city that is a "rental property". They define "rental property" as any home that is not your primary residence - even if you don't rent it to anyone. At least in Gaithersburg they send nosey bureaucrats instead of armed LEO. Of course, they will say something if they see something.
My guess is that the complex in Waco is government subsidized. Not sure. I also suspect this trend is not isolated, it is probably being done all over the country to people who have no real means of defending themselves.
You do realize, don't you, that the Constitution as ratifiedand respected does not provide any means whatsoever for FedGov to put its hands directly upon a Citizen?
As ratified - FedGov can't reach into your wallet.
As ratified - FedGov cannot compel any Citizen to perform any act. (Enumerated Powers, here)
As ratified effectively died with Lincoln, and all Amendments passed after the Civil War were illegitimately put in place. Make no mistake, the amendments passed since Lincoln murdered the republic were passed by defeated state legislatures that, quite literally, had guns to their heads.
In my mind, every Amendment passed post-Civil War is void because of coercion.
But that is an academic point right now - because the Bad People who want that paradigm to prevail have armies with firearms who will kill you to maintain that paradigm - just as Lincoln was willing.
The Bad People have established their standing armies about which we were warned by our Founders. Read here.
What to do?
Because Fuck You, that's why...
Do you think my language too crass? Does the F-bomb offend you?
Doesn't being enslaved offend you more than the F-bomb?
Nothing in life is free. Liberty will never be free. Even if we manage to secure it again in our lifetime, our posterity will have to fight the same battles in this eternal war. For our species will always, in every generation, birth those who mean to be Masters.
Because Fuck You, that's why... - This is not simply vulgarity for the sake of being a potty mouth, it is a mindset. It is THE ONLY ANSWER to tyrants and people who would infringe your Liberty. Then you have to back it up with as much force as is required to prevail - or die trying.
That's what "Live Free or Die" means. Cultivate the Fuck You attitude. Live free.
Again, this one is real and provides tangible proof that what we have suspected and known in our hearts is true.
Rule of Law is dead. It has become institutional practice to deliberately and knowingly violate the Constitution - and every Badge doing so swore an oath to that same Constitution.
The proof is before your eyes.
The smart Patriot will assume the badge headed your way is not Friend, but Foe.
Thanks for the heads-up from so many of you - packages we shipped a while ago are arriving early this week for many of you. If anyone has an outstanding order that isn't in your hands by this Friday, let me know. Exception: If you placed an order last week after we headed to Alabama, we'll be processing and shipping this week (we'll be back in DC Metro area tonight after our homeward-bound detour after Alabama) Also, a few of you have an item or two on back-order, we'll ship as soon as they come in.
My post below is NOT a commentary on Mosby's piece. It is related only in passing, as part of the same topic - sidearms. Here's Mosby's piece.
~~
Most Americans will have, at best, a sidearm when confronted with violence unexpectedly.
If you have been paying attention to folks like Mosby & Cooper, you already know your sidearm is primarily a last-ditch defensive weapon, designed to keep you alive long enough to reach your rifle. In some circumstances, the sidearm is transformed to the role of offensive weapon. It is a versatile, powerful tool. Just be sure you know its limitations, and yours.
In my CQB classes I often find people who may not have ever had any formal training in fighting at the buckle-to-buckle range, but they have outstanding instincts. For instance, when you see a guy or gal pull that sidearm and keep it tucked in close to the body, that should inform you that you are probably dealing with someone who has a bit of training, or at the least has damned good instincts. The enemy who hangs a handgun out there at the end of an extended arm - he's a gift.
Our host in Alabama is a natural fighter. His instincts are to keep his arms in tight to the body when in an unarmed confrontation. He moves in small steps. He keeps his head low and ready to move out of the way. His punches are close and powerful. This is the same sort of fighter in an unarmed scenario you have to be wary of engaging. Like the gunfighter keeping his pistol close to the body, the unarmed fighter keeping his head (not getting excited in a fight), keeping his body tight, you are facing someone with experience, or good instincts. A few others in Alabama and elsewhere instinctively "spin" during certain CQB techniques (I call them "Spinners" - it's a technical term, don't try this at home ;) - this trait often doesn't reveal itself until you are actually in a fight - but the moment you see it, you must adjust.
I demonstrate to every class the limitations of carrying only on your strong side. I advise them to carry on the off-side as well, and like Josey Wales whenever possible. Respect what your sidearm can do, and what it can't do. Respect what you can and cannot do. Learn to use your sidearms as emergency defensive weapons, and as limited offensive weapons. But never rely on that handgun over your own brain.
Most importantly - train now while the training is not on-the-job. Seek out pistol fighters and riflemen and medics and others who have the skills you will need. Learn now.
Where are we going and when will we be there? Here's a thumbnail. If any of these work for you, zip me an email and I'll put you in touch with the local point man. Former students, you know the deal, so if any of these work for you, just let me know:
Ft. Lauderdale: August 17
SE Michigan: August 24
Citadel PatCom (Idaho): September 6-8
SE Wisconsin: TBA (sometime over the week of Sept 14-24)
Nope, I have no connection to it at all - except to say that the endeavor has my absolute support! The guys who decided to launch the concept are helping to build the III in a positive, genuinely patriotic manner. Good on them, and good for us all.
Drop in and explore their work, and throw them some support.
Idaho: Holly has secured porta-johns for our get-together in Idaho. That's it, no more creature comforts unless you bring them for yourself. ;) For those of you who have already signed up for the CQB classes over the weekend, thank you! I'll get to work on a weekend itinerary sooner or later - but don't expect too much structure. We'll get together, train, break bread, and see where things go from there.
North Carolina: Brock's PatCon is already shaping up to be another packed event. I'll link his latest update at the end of the post. You'll notice a great line-up of speakers (except for me ;) as well as training opportunities and all the great benefits that come simply from having a group of real Patriots together for a few days to meet, greet, break bread and work out the details of reclaiming Liberty from the jaws of the Tyrants amongst us who mean to be our Masters.
Brock has very kindly offered me the opportunity to speak at his event. I'm not much of a public speaker, but I'll give it a whirl. In an effort to keep up with the other people Brock has lined up to speak, I'm going to ask you for input regarding a topic. Whether you intend to be there or not, what topic would you suggest? Something general? Specific? Citadel? A "Kerodin" position you'd like me to expand upon? Anything I have written that needs more flesh on the bones? I'm not much for current events, as you all know. I consider most of what we read in the "Media" to be part of a script, bits and pieces the Wizard(s) wants us to see, when he wants us to see them. But I am open for all suggestions. Feel free to email if you'd prefer to stay off the blog.
Regarding the CQB class to be taught at Brock's: I am going to speed up the typical course and work in the GroundFighting course - so be ready to work if you sign up. The pace will remain comfortable even for our older, less-in-shape Patriots, so don't worry - I won't be stroking anyone out. But rain or shine we will learn how to break anyone who would dare put his hands on you, and how to fight to your weapon in dire circumstances.
This is not a "martial arts" course. I have chosen techniques deliberately that work regardless of age, sex, strength, size, physical condition. Not every technique will work for every person in every circumstance, but most will work for most people in most circumstances. My tiny wife is able to execute the techniques in the curriculum - you will be able to do the same. She will also be there for any of our Patriot ladies who may be hesitant. Wives: You will learn how to put hubby in a corner, folded neatly into a box. A small box. ;)
Anyone who intends to sign up for the CQB course - feel free to use the PayPal button I set up on the right column, or just send Brock the payment when you pay his registration fee.
Whether you sign up for the CQB class or not, attending the NC PatCon is an event you really should try to make. Good, smart people will be in attendance, and Brock is a gracious host.
Let me know if you have a topic you think I should consider for the Saturday schedule.
The beautiful Leatherman above is a gift from a fine Patriot and fellow-tradesman I met recently in Alabama. The entire group of Patriots HK and I had the honor of meeting was wonderful, made of the stuff I like to think was once common in this country. If our country were once again populated by a majority like those we met in Alabama, the republic would be safe.
Our host and hostess took care of us, provided an excellent training venue, a fine group of people with whom to train, a great southern meal for dinner, all topped off with good conversations with real Americans. And our host and hostess introduced my wife to the splendor that is homemade ice cream! Here is a review of the Alabama class offered by our host.
For those who may think America is already dead and beyond hope - we are not there yet. We have pockets of serious, honorable, loyal American Patriots today sprinkled across the country. Holly and I know this, because from Illinois to California, to Colorado and Ohio and West Virginia, we have met them, trained with them, broken bread with them. The republic can be rescued from the Evils that challenge Her today. We still have a chance.
Each class HK and I train with gives me far more than I leave behind. I am always given the gift of new thoughts, new possibilities, from each class. I do not "give" at class, I simply share a bit of my experience. Nothing more. Training never ends. While I may be "teaching" at class, I am always refining my own technique (this is a life-long pursuit), and I am always learning from the people who become part of my life. That is a true gift.
"When? Where? How do we do it? Is it time to head to the Green?" These are all valid questions, and I hear them everywhere. I also hear from people who have good ideas for remedies.
Patriots who have taken the III CQB class will be able to visualize this concept, from techniques taught: Patience and timing are essential if Liberty is to prevail in the coming fight. If we move too soon, before allowing the proper essential elements to develop, we will miss our opportunity. If we wait too long, we will miss our window of opportunity as well. We must time our actions properly, and fit the actions to the circumstances.
Consider the lapel-grab I teach, in which the person being attacked ducks under the arm of the attacker and steps behind, cranking the attacker's arm high behind his own back. If you wait too long, the attacker will grab you and have the chance to deliver a powerful punch. If you move too soon, before he actually has a chance to grasp your lapel, you also miss the opportunity - because for this technique to work, you must let him get a handful of your shirt before you can execute effectively. You must wait. You must let it evolve.
You must be brave enough to stand there and let him put his hands on you.
Then, only then, can this work.
It is the same with Restoration.
We must move smart, when the time is right, in a manner that is appropriate. Not too soon, not too late. Not too rough, not too gentle. 2A is not the sole solution to our current problems. The soapbox of 1A alone is not the solution. The voting booth alone will never evict the predators and tyrants and garbage currently in office. But just as none of these remedies will succeed alone, no real Restoration can be realized unless we incorporate all three (and more) facets and principles of our Founding. It was not violence alone that won Liberty the first time, and it won't work that way this time.
The good thing about the techniques needed to effect Restoration: The enemy has already placed his hands upon us all. The Enemy has violated our Rightful Liberty, time and time again, relentlessly, and they continue without shame. We have the moral Right now to act in self defense and defense of our country.
The Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people. This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments and affections of the people was the real American Revolution. - John Adams
We are not waiting to go to work. If you are reading this blog, you are already working on Restoration, you are already a counter-revolutionary - you are Awake. You are making your voice heard or training or prepping or networking and building Tribe, or otherwise doing the work that must be done before one can be ready for all of the challenges that will be unleashed once America reaches that imminent moment when violence erupts.
Violence will erupt. It must. Either a Patriot(s) someplace will reach his personal limit and leave the porch, or the realities of our economic situation will lead to FSA riots as their EBT cards stop buying FS and their FSA phones stop ringing.
One way or another, violence is imminent, because Evil people with Evil intent have taken the decision that violence is in their interests to unleash. You may have no interest in violence - but that doesn't mean Violence won't come looking for you.
Be prepared.
You have been warned. You have been warned by me, which you may dismiss as rhetoric or self-interest or anything you wish. But you have also seen the actions of the tyrants with your own eyes.
Now you must choose your path. You must decide if you will stand tall or bend knee, or turn a blind eye. You must give yourself permission for the Hard Things - or not. You must decide your course. Just remember, in your choices may lie the fate of Liberty on Earth.
Here are parts two and three of the video I posted over the weekend.
Train, Patriots.
Choose to live free or die.
...and don't just say it. Mean it. Do it.
This is your life. Let no man put his hands upon you - at least not for free...
There are many, many Sparklies swirling in the media world today and recently.
This one is real news, because it is confirmation of what many of us already know - the system is diseased and corrupt. Rule of Law is Dead. This one is tangible, it proves the hypothesis.
The Rule of Law is DEAD.
That means EVERYTHING we Patriots hold dear in Principle is DEAD.
Accept it. Use it for the evidence that it is, and allow it to inform your other suspicions.
Let it seethe in your heart that it is now Doctrine of those in power to ignore, to blatantly circumvent, your Natural and Constitutional Rights. Let it burn. When someone dismisses the concept that the republic has devolved into a state that Jefferson, indeed, even probably Hamilton, would articulate as Tyranny, write that person off as a Lost Soul.
Invest your energy to save those who can be saved. The fires headed into our lives at full speed will be fueled by many, many Lost and Diseased Souls. Do not die trying to save those who have invited the fire into their midst. Do not die for someone who doesn't matter.
It is time to give yourself permission to do the Hard Things that will be required to restore Liberty, indeed, even to survive.
By the way, here's something for you to ponder regarding this "News Story". Is it the result of "Hard news journalism uncovering secrets..." or, my conclusion, simply dropping the optics via the "cover" of a news story, spoon-fed to Useful Idiots... (Like we haven't seen THAT ONE before...can we say GunWalker?)
Oh, an example of the "Sparklies" currently flying? Just look at the "Terror Threat" now capturing headlines. If you can't see the Sparklies in there, such as the justification for NSA actions as well as the imminent uptick in Police State personal invasions (because of "...surgically-implanted devices that can beat our current means of detection..." - then I can't help you. Buy some flame-retardant footie pajamas...
