America has about three seconds left...

My students know what a rear naked choke feels like when applied, and how to apply it to someone else.  In the video above, the lass works from her back to the back of her opponent and slips in a choke.  It isn't textbook, and it takes a while for the choke to do its work - but in the real world you almost never get textbook.  Once she had her arm snaked about his neck she simply held on and let him thrash, constantly tightening.  She never relents.  Annnnnd, he's gone.

A good choke will take you into unconsciousness in about three seconds.  A sloppy choke may take a bit longer.  But the end result is the same - you end up reliant upon the mercy of the person who just choked you out.

My students also know that the moment they feel that arm coming around they need to immediately begin defending the neck.  Failure to defend the neck means submission, and perhaps death.

Look around, Patriots.  Bad People are slipping that arm around the American neck, right now. 

If they get it cinched in place, America and the ideals you and I hold dear will die.  The Police State is part of that choke.  The surveillance state is part of that choke.  Criminalizing such acts as feeding hungry people is part of that choke.  Disarming Americans is part of that choke.  Bleeding you dry with taxes and regulations and high costs on every product you need to live, from gasoline to bread, is part of that choke.  Every single politician in office, and those waiting on deck, are part of that choke.  Every American who votes for such people and policies is part of that choke.  Every member of the FSA is part of that choke.  Every idiot stirring the racial strife in America is part of that choke.

Every Patriot who stands aside and does nothing, is part of that choke...

How does one defend against a choke?  You tuck your chin to your chest and then you go to work and kill that fucker who is trying to choke you.

When there are cancer cells in the body - you kill them.

When some fuck is trying to force you to bend knee and enslave your children and grand children, you kill them.

Do you wait for Freddy Kruger or Jason Voorhees to come to your door or get into your house before you kill them?

Do you wait for some asshat on the street to start snaking that arm around your neck before you defend yourself and kill him?

No.

III CQB Schedule

Next class is at the Citadel PatCom on Saturday the 6th with GroundFighting on Sunday.  If you are attending the PatCom and plan on taking the class, please hit the PayPal button on the right side of the blog so I know who and how many to expect.

For the Patriots in South East Wisconsin and Upper Michigan who are considering classes after the PatCom in mid-September, drop me an email as early as possible so I can get you booked with a date or release the dates for other classes.

Following our September trek eastward, Holly and I will be at Brock's PatCon the first week of October.  If you plan to take the CQB class at Brock's, please hit the appropriate PayPal button on the right, or get your payment in to Brock ASAP. 

As I announced earlier, the cost for CQB classes will be going up for all classes after Brock's PatCon.  The only exception is for classes booked (and deposits paid) prior to October 4th.  (So, if you want a class in December at today's prices, make sure you book it with me ASAP to lock in current pricing.)

New pricing:

$310 per person for Fight to your Weapon (minimum class size 10 people)
$80 per person for GroundFighting 101 on Day Two (mnimum class size remains 4 people)

I'll teach smaller classes, of course - but the cost will need to be shared among the participants.

Same restrictions remain in place: No LEO - don't even ask.

See you on the mountain!

Jefferson: Enemy of Liberty

I mentioned more than once that when "They drop the optics...", it's on.

Well, consider the optics dropped.  Completely.

The United States Government (remember "Government" is nothing more than a collection of individuals) has taken the official position in several departments, not the least of which is the United States Air Force, that the Founders of the republic who challenged the British were "Extremists".

So, how do you think they classify you and me?

If you are not prepped for enemy contact, right now, you are wrong.

PatCon: Horicon, Wisconsin September 21

WiscoDave is hosting a PatCon next month for folks in the Wisconsin area.

September 21st in Horicon.

Holly and I met Dave at our very first CQB class, he travelled down to Illinois.  Dave is a first-class guy and Patriot.  Many of you probably know he started the III to III Patriot Plate project, and is responsible for many, many Patriots having imporved their odds of survival.  Through the Plate project, he also made sure Patriot Militia units were able to get free sets for their teams.

If you are within range, I commend this event to you.  You will meet a solid Patriot who is a guy who gets things done.  He's not a talker - he puts in the work to improve the lives of Patriots.  And, you will have the chance to meet others in your AO with like minds, which is priceless.

Contact Dave here: acwd4556@yahoo.com for more info.

Good luck!

Any OathKeepers in Raliegh?

A church group buys about 100 breakfast sandwiches and coffee each weekend and hands it out in a park in Raleigh to the homeless.  There are no weekend soup kitchens in the area, so decent Citizens took it upon themselves to help as best they could.  They've been doing this for about six years.

This day they met with men armed with firearms who informed them that if they gave hungry people a sandwich or coffee, they would go to jail.  Of course "...going to jail..." is an act of violence - if you do not offer your hands when the man with the firearm tells you he is going to handcuff you, you face a severe beating by multiple men with guns, you risk a taser blast, and you risk a muzzle blast. 

"Going to jail..." is not a peaceful proposition if you choose not to go.

First: Fuck OathKeepers.  Fuck OathKeeper supporters.  You claim to uphold the Constitution?  Where were you this day?  Holding another fundraising rally?  Paying off parasitic "Patriot" bloggers to keep spreading your name to increase your membership?  Why weren't you down there with YOUR men and guns to ensure that your "Brothers in Blue" were not breaking the oath YOU swore to uphold?  Where is your outrage?  Where is your press release condemning the action of LEO in this case?  And even more to the point - how many of those LEO in Raleigh are dues-paying members of your organization, and why have you not kicked them to the curb and labeled them Domestic Enemies for threatening good people with firearms for the heinous act of feeding hungry people?

Fuck OathKeepers.  Fuck OathKeeper taint-suckling treasonous supporters.

Patriots in the Raleigh area: Men with badges and guns in your AO are threatening good people with arrest (and worse if they fail to go quietly) for handing out sausage biscuits to hungry people.  I'm not going to tell you to go there and defend the good people and their Rights - you have to pick your battles.  But you must be aware that your Raleigh LEO are willing to do this to your neighbors, and to you.  Perhaps you will stay out of it, knowing that this sort of abuse will get sorted out - harshly - in the coming North American Liberty Games.  Maybe you will choose to raise a little hell by calling or writing the Raleigh politicians and LEO.  Maybe you will simply find out where the next event will be, and show up with your own guns and men to make sure LEO understands that they may shut down this rampaging crime of feeding homeless people - but it won't be free.  No one will be "...going to jail..." until after the smoke clears.

This story is a perfect example of what happens when stupid people obtain  positions of power.  I am talking about the politicians (who helped make the homeless people in the first place), the LEO who enforce immoral laws, and back to the politicians who not only claim the monopoly of violence, but also the monopoly of charity (only "They" are smart enough to know who should be given a free sandwich, when and where it should happen, and if you dare violate "Their" decree, you will face men with guns who will kill you if you resist.)

I was asked by a very sharp young family man this weekend what we should do about these people who think they know best.  My answer:  They are murdering America through their stupidity (and some are not stupid, merely evil) and it is time for we adults to make them sit down, shut up and stay out of the way as we fix it.  If they refuse, a backfist to the teeth is a good start.  Deportation is an option.  And if they insist on continuing to murder the republic - enemies Foreign & Domestic Rules apply.

Here's the story.

Yes, Virginia - They do mean to have a war...

The image above is on a Minuteman 15 AR built by Jim Miller at III Arms.  It is among the finest Fighting Rifles available to Patriots in America.  You can order yours here.

When you look at the news of the day and ask yourself the hard questions in the silence of your own mind, do you conclude that America is at war and that you are seen as an enemy by people who mean to dominate or rule you?

If so, should you not behave accordingly?

If you conclude that at any given time you may be targeted by members of another race for beating or killing, should you not be armed and operating in Cooper Yellow at all times?  Should you not establish prudent security protocols for your family - such as who answers a knock at the door, how they answer that knock, how often your spouse and children check-in, setting perimeter security, harden your home to delay any possible assault, establish E&E protocols, and so on?

If you conclude that at any time you may be targeted by a member of the enforcement arm of your political enemies - people who may pull a firearm and point it at you for the slightest infraction or failure to show proper deference - should you not be armed and ready to counter that threat?

If you believe Bad People are waging war upon you - act like it.

I look forward to meeting and talking with many of you in Idaho in a few weeks, where we will discuss such topics.  I look forward to seeing others at Brock's PatCon next month.

Later tonight, ask yourself if people are waging war upon you.

Then, decide what you are going to do about it.

Video solution

Found a solution thanks to the kind folks who weighed in below when I asked for a way to get video/audio uploaded and disseminated quickly and efficiently.

Consider: You are out and about and suddenly confronted by an Enemy.  You want and/or need a record of the interaction.  Getting your smartphone in action can take a few moments, and it ties up your hands.

The Looxcie device not only lets you start recording (audio and video) with the touch of a button, but if you tie it into your smartphone it will stream live to the 'net.  It is a simple touch of a button.  So if your phone falls into Enemy hands, they can't delete the footage.  It goes, realtime, to your allies.

Sweet.

I will be getting one very soon, and some of you will be programmed into the device.  Should my life become unexpectedly sporty, you will receive the file.  Even if I die, you will know the truth, and not the media spin.  That matters to me.

I would recommend to all Patriots reading this blog: If you agree that we are at war with Enemies of Liberty, consider getting such a device.  Secondly, I would ask you to consider carrying your sidearm wherever you go, within the laws of your jurisdiction. (What you do in contravention to your local laws is up to you.)

If we are at war, shouldn't you be prepared for conflict? 

Think about it.

Here's the link to Looxcie.  My thanks to those of you who posted helpful comments and wrote me in email on this topic.  None of us are invincible - but if we take reasonable precautions, at least the truth of our demise can be known.

From Sandman

Most of you are familiar with the story about the cross in a public park in Oregon, it is a war memorial.  You also will remember that several groups have been waging a war to have it removed, for they find it offensive.

Sandman sent me a story: These people have now taken to violence by planting an IED at the cross and detonating it.

I can't recall a Tea Party advocate planting a bomb, anywhere.

American culture and ideals are under attack.  People are being murdered now at wholesale levels.  Bombs are being planted - an indiscriminate weapon employed by cowards.  In my lifetime I can not recall our country has ever been so divided and hateful to one another.  My reading of History informs me that we came close during Vietnam, the Civil Rights era, and of course RevWar II and RevWarI.

RevWarIII is coming, folks.  Whether you want it or not, other people do want it, and you have a decision to take: Stand and be counted, or try to ignore what is happening so you can keep your cable up and running.

I can only think of Captain Parker: If they mean to have war, let it begin here.

Some people are taking that initiative.

Learn to swim. I'll meet you in Arizona Bay...

John Walton - I gave you a chance to shut the fuck up and keep my name out of your mouth.  You responded with another direct threat.  I read you 5 x 5.  You were warned.  You are responsible for the words out of your mouth and the words you type.  End of transmission.

Patriots: Two songs below that reflect my mood tonight.  I spent the day with my beautiful wife, and we trained with solid, serious, smart Patriots.  We were treated to good, old-fashioned hospitality and friendship.  When I think of Restoration and recovering the Founders Intent - we've fuckin' got this...

Here: Get your blood pumping.  In this first song replace "L.A." with USA (as perverted by our domestic enemies).

And in this old-school Metallica, it speaks for itself.

America is in need of Her Patriots.  I have met men and women who understand.  It is our turn.

Steel your Souls.  Harden your hearts.  If Liberty is to be secured, it will be done only by trespassing through Hell.  Three men started the first ruckus, and about III Percent backed them up.

It.  Is.  Our.  Turn.

So be it.

Please read and consider...

The Founders Intent was to secure personal Liberty in a world where some tasks are simply too big for the individual to handle by himself.  To that end, they drafted the Constitution - a Constitution which does not permit FedGov to lay hands directly upon any American.

It was offered as a voluntary agreement, one from which the individual could simply withdraw consent if abused.

Of course, this ideal, the Founders Intent, has been perverted - AS WE WERE WARNED IT WOULD BE IF WE DID NOT HANDLE OUR RESPONSIBILITIES.

Principles

I mentioned in a post below that there is considerable inside baseball taking place.  I will not bother you with details, except to repeat again so that those of you who choose to come here and read what I write, will know the overall topic.  There are white supremacists (not merely separatists) actively working to infiltrate the broader Liberty Movement, and particularly the III Percent.  Their goal is to pervert the noble mandate of the III Patriot cadre into something ugly and unfitting for any person who subscribes to the American Ideal that is our Founders Intent.  (That phrase, by the way, "Founders Intent" is one introduced to me by The Trainer, and it is an excellent label for a noble endeavor.)

Bill has been working this topic longer than have I, and with much more detail.  You already know I recommend you visit Bill's site daily, but I'll remind you anyway: Visit Bill's site daily.  If you appreciate honesty, no matter how ugly it may be, Bill is That Guy.  Just one example of why I am so proud to be part of this community is because we have men and women who choose to put their necks out there and do the work required, Patriots who follow the demands put upon them by their own Principles.  I also like that we have so many outstanding bloggers and blog supporters that we are able to engage CA's "Polygonal Battlespace" on multiple fronts at once. 

This is the fight that landed at Bill's feet, and he began stomping it.  I was tangentially involved, then I chose to become actively involved because some of those ugly people decided to invoke my name.  The fallout is, honestly, something that pleases me very much - because of the work Bill has done and continues to do, false "Patriots" are being revealed for the shallow-thinking, hate-filled, useless genetic waste they have become in life.

I'm going to say this one time: I am at a point in my life that pleases me.  I am married to the love of my life and we have had more than a decade together.  I have mastered several trades and professions.  I have trained many people (men and women) in a trade that allowed them to leave my shop and get hired for $20/hr after a single weekend of sharing skills.  I have mastered a martial skillset.  I am proud that I have useful martial skills that I get to share with fellow Patriots, and I get to travel and engage that passion.  I am helping build cohesion and morale among this corps of Patriots that makes me even more proud.  I helped birth the Citadel concept, and it is now far beyond "Kerodin" - if I die tonight, the Citadel will still happen.  Jim Miller will continue building the finest ARs and 1911 Fighting Arms available to Patriots who may, one day, be forced to take those arms to the Green.  I have no children.

My point: Fallout from this little distraction has turned to threats against me.  The threats I've seen thus far are anemic and probably nothing more than keyboard asshats, though the White Nationalist fucks that I am engaging have an enforcement arm.  I have tangled with them before, during my mis-spent youth.  Nothing is more amusing than the image of skin-head fucks walking around with ax handles, thinking they are superior creatures.  But make no mistake - such animals are dangerous.  A straight-up fight is not in their nature.

To any asshat who wishes to avoid conflict with me, leave my name out of your mouth.  Do not drag me into your reindeer games, and I'll probably never give you a second glance.  However, get in my grill and we take it to the next level.  I think I have demonstrated I am not a keyboard commando who believes there is no world outside the digital universe.  You are responsible for the words that come out of your mouth and you are responsible for the words typed by your fingers - especially if you direct those words at me or mine.

Leave me alone and we'll have no problem.

Fuck with me, and you'll have a problem you can't handle until you kill me.  All threats will be treated as legitimate and physical in nature, and I will respond accordingly.  Threats that intimate that I will be ambushed will earn an active response that digs deep into my training.

I do not dial 911.

Some people seem to think the internet is a playground where they can say anything, to anyone, and never answer for their behaviors.  Those people are stupid if they apply that reasoning to me.

This ain't no fucking game, to quote Jedi Zoomie.

Principles matter, Patriots.  If we do not live and defend the principles we advocate, we do not deserve Liberty, or respect.  If I die upon Principle, I hope real Patriots will tip a beer toward my corpse and remember me as a serious Human Being who died well.

I've accomplished plenty in life.  I'm ready to die standing upon principle, if I must.

Anyone who wants to test me on that - bring it.  I will kill you, or die trying.

Three times is enemy action...

Anyone paying attention can see the sudden rise in "Knockout Game" attacks by black teens/mobs on white Americans.

I hope you can see this is not a spontaneous or organic series of events.

There is a silent hand, unseen, guiding and directing these attacks for political gain.

There is no doubt that animals exist in our society.  There is no doubt, at least in my mind, that the men with the invisible hands are even more evil than the animals who choose random victims for brutal violence, and often death.  Do not allow yourself to be played.  Do not react emotionally and lash out as the Bad People want you to do - at color.  If you must react, by all means destroy the animals.

But do not leave their handlers in play.

Every day "Talking Points" are issued to political operatives who then set out to spread the party line.

I hope you understand that the same mechanism is used to urge actions that will lead to political outcomes.  If the goal is a "Race War", how better to reach that goal than to start one by having local "Black Leaders" whisper into the ears of neighborhood Bad Guys, slipping the leashes off?  What's next in this deliberate attempt to start a ruckus?  Look for some "White" guys to do a drive-by and take out a street corner filled with black faces.  Look for a stray bullet to hit a little girl.  Look for provocations designed to fan the flames.  And the "White" guys pulling the triggers?  Media will report "Skinheads" or "Tea Party" racists.  Can you say False Flag?

Someone has decided that America is not collapsing fast enough for their personal agenda.

Start a race war.  "Hack" Wall Street (which will have smart investors flee the markets, leading to a market crash.)   Let Russians inspect our nukes on American soil.  Throw in some national-level "Muslim" scare, and the North American Games will begin at full speed.

Do not allow yourself to be played by these people.  Handle your business, to be sure.  But do not neglect the architects of this war.

Driving Habits of the North American Idiot

To the little car being driven by that silly woman in Kentucky yesterday that crowded my wife as she was driving our little milk wagon - please die a horribly lingering death in a fiery single-car crash.

My wife was driving and keeping up with traffic on the interstate (75) when a gal in a little white PoS decided we needed to move over a lane - so she got close enough to our rear end (which has a hitch-mounted shelf on it) that Holly couldn't see the car's front license.  That's close.  That's way too close on a highway at speed.

That is why my delightful, tiny wife rolled down her window and shared one particular finger with you.

That is why I had to do some fast (and stern) talking to prevent my lovely wife from following you off at your exit - she really wanted to try out her hip throw and rear choke on you.  I think she said something about your stank-assed weave and giving it back to the horse from which you stole it, but I may be mistaken about that...

For you professional drivers, bless you all.  The amount of stupid you have to contend with on the road is mind-blowing.

Citadel PatCom Update

PatCom@IIICitadel.com

That's the email for the event.  If you intend to attend, please send an email and the folks handling the details will tell you what they need from you.  I think there are 2-4 people involved behind-the-scenes handling details.  We need to know who is coming, when, what you are doing about accommadations (tent, trailer, RV, etc)  You will probably be given a password or phrase, and if it doesn't match the name you give, you will not get access to the event.  Noone is trying to be a jerk, but OpSec and PerSec is important.

So, please email and they will stay in touch with you, get everything sorted out, and at a point very near D-Day, they'll give you detailed instructions to the site.

If you plan on taking the CQB class, please let them know.  The best method of payment is the PayPal button at right.  Cash at the event will be accepted.

If you are a member of the III Congress, a Founder, an applicant, a blogger, please identify yourself when you write the PatCom address.

Holly and I are really looking forward to meeting (and meeting again in some cases) all of you.
