Emily Gets Her Gun Event

If you follow the world of 2A, you've heard of Emily Miller. 

She works for the Washington Times, and has been writing a series of articles detailing her efforts to navigate Washington DC gun laws in the wake of Heller, et al.  Tonight there is an event in DC promoting her new book that compiles her experiences, and more.

Jim Miller, President of III Arms Company, will be in attendance as an invited guest.  If you have met Jim, you already know he is the ideal Ambassador for III Arms and the Citadel, and for Patriots, at such an event.

I commend to you all Emily's book.  Supporting our 2A allies is a critical piece of restoring Liberty.  If anyone has a review of her book from an advanced reading, I will happily post it for all.

Here's the link to the event.  You can register and attend if you are in the DC area.  Meeting Jim is worth the effort.  Showing support for a 2A fighter like Emily - matters.

Here's a link to her book at Amazon.

Eat Shit and Die you Marxist Fucks

"...Kerodin, the Citadel’s central idea man and principal propagandist, taught hand-to-hand combat courses known as CQB—close-quarters battle.

Whether or not the Citadel is built, the gathering itself is important: it could become the most significant turning point in the militia and survivalist world since Timothy McVeigh bombed the Oklahoma federal building in 1995 and the FBI crackdown on armed paramilitaries that followed."

I do not usually give space to the Marxist garbage that writes about me.  (Ladies, I apologize for the following language.)

This time, I will.  And I am speaking directly to you Leonard Zeskind and Devin Burghart: How fucking dare you link me to that cowardly, baby-murdering piece of shit Timothy McVeigh?  How fucking dare you try to instill in the minds of the general public that I am dangerous to innocent civilians?  How fucking dare you drag my wife into harms way by painting such a bull's-eye on my back?  If a Stack ever comes for me and she is hurt, or even forms a tear in her eye, you had better fucking hope they kill me.  I will hold the two of you responsible.  Fuck you both.

There are some minor nits to pick regarding facts in the article, as usual, (not the least of which is that I was NEVER "...under Mike Vanderboegh's wing...")  but my beef is with the absolute lack of ethics and morality exhibited by these two authors and their magazine as they seek to influence public perception of me (and those around me) by subtly implying links to madmen, indiscriminate bombers, racists and more.  People are responsible for the words that come out of their mouths and for the words they type, because words lead to actions, and in my world, actions have consequences.

Here's the link, folks.

This ain't no fucking game.

The Answer to 9/11...

...is 1911.

The 1911 has proven itself for more than one hundred years as the most reliable Fighting Pistol in history.  If you ever have to fight to your rifle, the 1911 will get you there.

You can get your III Arms 1911, made for Patriots, by Patriots, here.

Jebadiah Fisher Seed Update

Bill's endeavor into a business that serves Patriots is one of the biggest such successes we have seen to date.  Most of you know I am a strident champion of self-employment, and Bill found a need and served customers with high quality and fair prices, and has been rewarded (as Free Enterprise will do) with a successful business.  He is his own boss.  He sets his own hours (which most entrepreneurs know means "From when I wake until I finally crash in bed!"  And there is a level of satisfaction that can not be articulated with words in the freedom of being self-employed.  I encourage every one of you to find something you love, and turn it into a business.  It may never be more than a supplemental income, but if you believe in quality of life, it's sure hard to beat doing something you love and being paid for it.

I will ask each of you again to please go to your Church Elders and explain to them the value of having a seed vault for the parish.  Even if TEOTWAWKI never happens in our lifetime, do you know how many people come to your church each week seeking help with food?  Ask someone in your church who would know - you'll probably be surprised.  If your church gives such people a handful of FRNs or a bag of groceries, that is great.  But if your church could hand out a small selection of seed and host small classes on how to grow a portion of their own food, well - you've helped teach a man to fish.  You've helped to wean at least one person from the teat of society.

Here's Bill's latest update.

Citadel CQB AAR

We trained over the weekend at the Citadel PatCom, but as former students who were present know, it was not a typical set of classes.  Holly and I had (and still have) many people to meet locally, tasks to accomplish before our next loop of this beautiful country begins.  As a result, we got started late on Saturday for Fight to your Weapon, and there were breaks forced by events.  The breaks were good things - you know, like Patriots riding around the mountain and buying property.  That is called progress.  That is called building Tribe.  That is called morale and cohesion.  That is called the premise of "The Citadel".  Even without walls we are building a community of Americans who believe in Rightful Liberty, who are choosing to pioneer this modern road back to Independence and Liberty, who are choosing their neighbors, and with whom they will stand.

So you can see, I had ZERO problem with the breaks and the chaotic nature of our Saturday class.  We finished up as the last bits of daylight surrendered to the night.  Then we headed to the fire to talk.

Sunday was more of the same.  Our GroundFighting 101 module is only a few hours, and it is far more physically demanding than Fight to your Weapon.  But we arrived atop the mountain later than we had planned, then Jim took several people down the hill to fire his beautiful 1911 and ARs (Oh, the horrors!!  ;)  sadly, and seriously, two people who had signed up for the GroundFighting course had to leave before the class began, because they had to get on the road and our "schedule" was shot to heck (Hey, that's a funny! Shot...)  Both Patriots refused when I told them I'd hit the refund button at PayPal for their Sunday fee - we parted with the understanding they will join us for a class at some point in the future. 

As all of my students know (though I am only making it public now), you only pay for my courses one time.  If you pay for Fight to your Weapon or GroundFighting 101 and attend the class, then in the future when we host another class in your AO, or we find ourselves together again at class time (say at a PatCom in Somewhere USA), you do not pay to run through the course again.  Yes, I pay my bills by teaching these courses - but I chose to train Patriots so they could add to their self defense skillsets.  So when you run through any of my classes for a second, or third, or fourth time, it helps reinforce earlier training and develop that critical muscle memory.

Our Sunday GroundFighting 101 class lasted a few hours, as usual, and was very satisfying for me.  I know those people in that class have learned how to defend themselves if they end up on the ground, and how to either improve their position or end the fight.  It is not a "grappling" course - it is designed to complement Fight to your Weapon skills - from the ground.  In the real world you simply can't afford to spend much time on the ground in a real fight.  (We can't afford a minutes-long fight on our feet in the real world, either!)  We focus on how to deploy your weapons while on your back, or your side, or even face-down.  And if you can't deploy your weapon right away, we teach you how to improve your defensive position and stay alive until you can either draw your weapon, or break your enemy at his head, his arm, his leg - whatever he decides you should break for him.  ;)

As with all skills, building upon what has been learned is critical.  Continuing to practice is critical.  Noone is ready for a cage match after a day or two of training, just as no one is a Rifleman after a weekend course.  You've got to continue to put in the work.

To that end, we are very lucky to have among our Patriot allies a couple who will be with us at Brock's PatCon, and they will be running video and still cameras so we can get the Fight to your Weapon and GroundFighting 101 course techniques online.  I can't begin to express how much Holly and I are indebted to these friends and allies who are offering their professional skills to help this III to III effort.  Since our very first class, and at every single class since, Patriots have asked for some way to review the course material so they can continue to train once Holly and I are gone.  We are just weeks away from reaching this goal.  Our classes offered at Brock's PatCon will, therefore, be a bit different from our usual class structure, as we will be taking extra time to make certain we capture the narrative and "How-to" of each technique in the core program.  You'll also see me and HK doing more techniques at full speed for the cameras.  I think it will be an added dimension of fun for all involved.  And, of course, if you are in the class and don't want your face on video, we'll be certain that doesn't happen.

So, to all at the PatCom this past weekend, thank you for so graciously accepting the atypical class structure. 

I have been looking for a way to quantify just how much progress was made in the Liberty Movement at our Idaho event.  I'm not sure I am up to the task.  In a community that has a LOT of talk and very modest action beneath the radar, the folks attending the Idaho PatCom walked the walk.  Some bought property.  Some are exploring that possibility.  That is a BIG F'N DEAL, to quote Jim Miller who was quoting our Vice President.  Miller received online orders for rifles while at the event, and I know several Patriots in attendance plan to add at least one III Arms Fighting Weapon to their kits.  And those who did not purchase property got to meet dozens of patriotic Americans who share their world view.  As with every PatCom held by every group of Patriots across this land, that personal connection is priceless.  Bill graciously permitted us to keep his "Brute" seed package within the Citadel group, thus establishing the cornerstone of our community seed bank.  Because Bill's seeds are heirloom, generations of Patriots will be able to plant generations of "offspring" plants, thereby feeding Americans for generations.

There was much more accomplished, but there is no way to get it all into a single post.  This post is simply number two in a series that will re-cap the weekend.  Much, much progress was made simply sharing the campfire.  Some of that we will share online - some will remain simply between those who were able to attend.

There are additional PatComs on the calendar, right now.  Mayberry and Bill are hosting another Texas event.  Every true Patriot in Texas should write Mayberry here and see if you can earn an invitation.  Simply living in Texas or the surrounding area is not necessarily going to get you a seat around that upcoming campfire.  ;)  In North Carolina during the first week of October, Brock Townsend of Free North Carolina will be hosting what I consider to be "THE" PatCon east of the Mississippi.  If you can attend, you should attend.  Here's Brock's latest update.

More later, folks.  We need to have a serious conversation, in public, about Mutual Defense Agreements.  We are at a point in this counter-revolution that every Patriot needs to be ready to help defend other Patriots who may suddenly need some help in the form of Flank & Spank (TM) actions.

Stay safe.

Citadel PatCom AAR #1

Jim Miller took the above photograph one evening this weekend from the III Arms / Citadel Beachhead.

Please forgive any incoherent writing in this post, I am dead-on-my-feet exhausted, from one of the best weekends of my entire life.  I'll post more AARs and pictures from the weekend, but I wanted to give you all a thumbnail sketch this evening.

First of all: We were blessed to have a group of Patriots who are, to every man and woman, people any Patriot would treasure as a neighbor.  These are solid, smart, thinking, kind Americans, all with mettle.  I do not have the writing skills to convey just how "tight" this group was from the first arrival to the last departure.  We all "clicked".  Some of us knew one another from previous meetings beyond the digital world, some of us "knew" one another from our online community, and a few folks knew none of us, they read about our event in local media and decided to drop in to say "Hi".  Holly and I had a feeling of family through the entire weekend - and good family, not the in-laws you dread seeing at Thanksgiving and Christmas.  ;)

Jim brought a pair of III Arms Minutemen rifles as well as the prototype 1911 for people to shoot or just hold.  More than one of the women in attendance fell in love with that 1911, and I think everyone in attendance was supremely impressed at the quality of the Minutemen rifles Jim built.  Aside from a few to-be-expected break-in period issues (these rifles are made by a craftsman, they are tight, built to a level of excellence many companies claim, and few ever achieve), the rifles will proudly serve as the backbone of III Arms, and III Patriots across the country will pull that Minuteman from the locker when it is time to rely on a serious Fighting Rifle.

We speak of Tribe and "local, local, local", that ever-present phrase coined by Bill Nye.  Let me tell you a little story about Tribe and this PatCom weekend: When we arrived in town the Beachhead was 20 acres.  This is where Jim will set up shop when it is time for him to move here.  Jim will live here with his family and he will build for III Arms and the Citadel.  This original 20 acre parcel has served us for the last year (not quite a year yet) as a tangible anchor point that represents our emotional and real-world intent to build our Tribe of Patriots who intend to live in a state of Rightful Liberty, not just write about it on blogs and complain about the world around us, Patriots who intend to live among one another in a true "community" of like-minded Americans who believe in our Founding Ideals.

A few months ago a III Patriot I have had the honor of meeting (twice I can proudly say) decided to buy a set of parcels on III Mountain, just one parcel away from Miller's site.  (I call it III Mountain, and one day we'll get it done legally, somehow. One day you will be able to look at a map of beautiful Benewah county Idaho and you will see "III Mountain" on that map.  History books will know the name and speak of the Patriot pioneers who intend to be free and at Liberty once more.)  This Patriot has chosen to move his family here to the safety and beauty of this piece of America.  That brought us to 60 acres of what I call "III Beachhead".

And when this weekend ended, we stand now with a contiguous "III Beachhead" of between 100 and 140 acres atop this mountain when the dust settles and the ink dries.  Patriots at the PatCom saw what we are doing.  They were able to see it with their own eyes.  They were able to meet one another, to break bread, to train together, to hold the fruits of Jim Miller's extraordinary efforts.  They were able to reach to their feet and grab a handful of III Earth.  They have chosen to be part of this Tribe.  Several of them are in various stages of purchasing land contiguous to Jim Miller's Beachhead - YOUR Beachhead - from the lady who owns the land.  Deposits were made.  Contracts were signed and paperwork exchanged.  Your fellow III Patriots purchased land upon which the flag of Liberty will fly, with neighbors they not only trust, but like.

Lives.  Fortunes.  Sacred Honor.

We do not just say the words.  We are living that intimately American ideal of Lives, Fortunes and Sacred Honor.

Patriots traveled thousands of miles to meet one another atop this mountain to see for themselves if III Arms, the Citadel, Kerodin, Miller, and all our discussions of Rightful Liberty are real, or just bullshit.

They decided.

There is now III Tribe in Benewah County.  This Tribe will grow.

Bill Nye sent the Citadel Steering Committee a package of seeds he called "The Brute".  He sent it free, for us to raffle as a fundraiser to help accomplish the work we are all doing.  We are talking about 25 POUNDS of seeds - I can't even begin to calculate how many families this will feed.  Around the fire one night this weekend as we talked into the late hours, as we realized that our Tribe was purchasing land to sink roots and build, we decided that Bill's generous gift would best serve the Citadel by becoming the cornerstone of our community seed bank.  Miss Violet (whose hug was one of the most treasured gifts I received this weekend) pointed out that with so many acres and people choosing to begin settling here, that seed package would be a priceless community asset - more than enough to grow gardens all over this mountain and to feed our families, and many, many more who will come.  Bill - with your permission, we'd like to keep your gift within the Citadel Tribe instead of raffling it off, so our people can begin to literally sow and reap.  May we?

Just over a year ago we began this discussion about moving somewhere and building a community in which only Patriots would be permitted.  We discussed how, where, what and why.  Founders sent money for a shoe-string budget to begin this project in the hopes they could be part of not only keeping the concept of Liberty alive, but of tangibly expanding that Liberty once again in America.  Many other people threw their moral support into the concept.  Some people "picked up the rope" and started pulling, to quote BonnieGadsden.  Some Patriots began applying their professional and life skills to tasks that needed to happen.  One man reached DEEPLY into his retirement savings to ensure the project had a chance...

You did this.  You made "The Citadel" a reality.  It is a concept, an idea - not walls and bunkers and rifles.  Even if the concept of a planned, walled community evolves to something else, or takes a generation to be fully built, or simply becomes a county filled with serious III Patriots who f'n mean it when they say not one more inch, then the spirit of the Citadel will live far beyond our mortal shells.

Founders and supporters and those of you who have put your backs into real work on this idea that was birthed just a bit over a year ago - the tree you helped to plant and nurture is already bearing fruit.  You do not need to move to Idaho to be part of this III Tribe.  Our Tribe may be heavily concentrated here on this mountain (as a beginning), but if you have supported this project from Ohio or Florida or Georgia or the Carolinas, or from behind enemy lines in California, New York or Gods-forsaken Illinois, or anywhere else - you are part of this Tribe, and we've got your backs.  I've got your back.

There is much work to do.  In a single year we have gone from a complex, multi-faceted concept to the delivery of Craftsman-Class product by Jim Miller.  In a single weekend we have seen 60 acres owned by III Patriots on a single mountaintop expand by leaps and bounds - to LITERALLY cover the entire mountaintop.  Hundreds of us have met face-to-face in the last year or so, and morale and cohesion as a community is higher than I have ever seen.

If you are an entrepreneur who can run your business from anywhere, and a III Patriot who wants to live next door to other III Patriots, in a county with a Constitutional Sheriff and a population of men and women who see life much as do you, consider moving your family here and helping to grow this Tribe.  If you are serious about buying land out here near the Beachhead (or contiguous to the Beachhead, even better!), drop me an email and I will put you in touch with the woman who owns much of this mountain (and beyond).

You are about to see an explosion of III activity, for it is now time to begin truly marketing III Arms and getting orders stacked on Miller's workbench.  It is time for you to help spread the word that Patriots need a Minuteman 15 from III Arms.  It is time for us to speak directly to the people who live in Benewah County, to introduce ourselves without the Leftist, hate-filled, zero-integrity, facts-don't-matter media filter that is the local paper and its owner/editor.  It is time for more of us to meet face-to-face and to continue meeting again and again.  It is time to raise our voices and let the Enemies of Liberty know that we are just about done tolerating their Evil. 

We have proven that we are an effective group of III Patriots who get the work of Liberty done, despite attacks from national-strength Enemies of Liberty and even the despicable, cowardly and honor-less attacks that have been launched time and again from within the "Patriot" community.

You wanted results.  You wanted Tribe.  There it is: III Arms and the Citadel, alive, tangible and made possible by you.

Lives.  Fortunes.  Sacred Honor.

Yours in Liberty,

Kerodin

PatCom

I wish it were in my power to make it possible for every Patriot who reads our III blogs to get together in one spot, shake hands, break bread and talk.  I have not yet found a better vehicle for building morale and cohesion than physically meeting one another.

The group here in Idaho is wonderful, and even though Holly and I were forced to spend most of our day and evening off the mountain taking care of other chores, the Patriots at the Beachhead made the most of their time together.  Fortunately, H and I get to spend almost all day tomorrow and Sunday with the fine folks who made it up here, and we are looking forward to making new allies, friends, and perhaps even adding a few new folks to our ever-growing Tribe.

If you wanted to be here, please do not beat yourself up.  I know many of you were simply unable to make it happen.  In some cases it was money.  In more cases it was the inability to get the time off work (even though the meet-up is on the weekend, driving to and from adds days to the event).

Holly and I are making it our business to get our there and meet everyone who wants to be met - we'll get there.  In fact, we are looking forward to it on levels I can't express.

I'll try to post through the weekend, but if I am scarce, you know why.

Stay safe, Patriots.

PatCom SitRep

Holly and I saw one of these on the long, upwardly-winding road to the III Arms site.  I had never seen a moose in the wild before, I think it was an adolescent - it was lanky and about 4-5 feet at the shoulders - and did NOT appreciate our Jeep following it up the road.  Holly and I were on the lookout for Momma Moose, knowing she would not appreciate us following her young'n either.  But, no sign of her.

Several people are in town already, and a few up on the mountain.  Holly and I will be up and down the mountain several times, as we will be meeting with several more people in town, as well as making at least one run north to Coeur d'Alene.  We met a local on the mountain riding a 4-wheeler, and sent him onward to meet Fuzzy & the crew.

There is much to accomplish in a very short time, from meeting with locals and contractors, to spending time with fellow III Patriots and advancing several of our projects.  We'll be sure to add at least a few updates over the weekend.

Stay safe, folks.

I just can't be bothered with your continued efforts to distract and derail real Patriot efforts.  Your under-handed attempts to kill III Arms and fuck with Miller have landed back in your shit-covered lap.  Your attempts to derail the Citadel have failed even more miserably than your life. 

 

The below cartoon panels pretty well sum up how most real Patriots think about you - you have become a sad, bad joke of zero value.  You have proved time and again that your primary goal is to divide, rather than support, Patriots.  You are going to die having led an entirely irrelevant life.  I did take a moment and add a small tidbit at my garbage site for you, here.

Roll your own...

Americans built the world.

We linked a continent with rails.  We added the best highway system in the world.  We went to the moon.  We put controlled nuclear explosions on war ships.

The average American guy (not the average American metrosexual) can afford a hobby-level CNC mill, install some free files online, and with a bit of trial and error, time and elbow grease, rock out his own AR, 1911, or other defensive tools.

I asked Silicon Greybeard to tackle the nuts & bolts, and here it is for you.

Yes, you can do it.  AWB?  Who cares?

Now - when the time comes, you have no excuse.  you have no one to blame but yourself if you are not prepared.

Constitutional Sheriffs

My position on LEO is no secret.  My position on "Government" is no secret.

Nor is it a secret that I refuse to paint entire groups with a single brush - "Government" is not evil, it cannot be evil, because "Government" is merely a label we place upon a group of individuals.  Individuals can be evil, but not labels.  Individuals can be evil, but not guns or knives or automobiles.  I think Jim Klein and I are in lock-step on this point.  Every evil comes down to the action of individuals.

So it is with LEO.  Not all LEO are evil.  I still contend that the vast majority of LEO must violate the Constitutional and Natural Law Rights of Americans every single day they go to work.  Those who refuse to do so will be separated from most police departments.  The militarization of LEO, especially major-metro departments, is a problem, it represents the "Standing Armies" about which we were warned by our Founders and Framers.  Such militarization stands as a direct threat to the Constitution.

But what of so-called "Constitutional Sheriffs" and the deputies they employ in their departments?

Holly and I met Sheriff Dave Resser of Benewah County this afternoon.  We went to his office and introduced ourselves to him, because all the man knew about us, the III, the Citadel, III Arms, was what he read in hostile media outlets and fusion center reports.  Now he has met us without the filters of media and third-party reports.  I have no idea what impression we left the man with today.  We also met his number two, under-Sheriff David Jones.  We cannot know what impression we left in his mind, either.

But I can tell you what impression with which we left.  We left knowing we met an elected Sheriff who believes in the Constitution and the limits our Founding documents place upon people in "Government".  We left knowing the man who was elected by the Citizens of Benewah County and Constitutionally charged to enforce the highest laws of the land within the boundaries of his county is a man who takes his role seriously. 

The people who voted him into office chose well, in my opinion.

Holly and I informed him of our plans, our goals, the true nature of our PatCom, and we told him where "media" distorted so much information about us personally and several of the people involved in the III, III Arms and the Citadel project.  We invited him to come up to our PatCom on Sunday to meet some of our allies, or to send a deputy if he was inclined.  We explained our position on racists (which was pretty darned obvious with my lovely wife in the room).  I explained my general disposition regarding LEO, especially major-metro LEO.  We explained that we had no intention of "challenging" anyone who was legally on the right-of-way through our property - but we did intend to challenge anyone coming onto our property who was not invited.  We informed him of a few of the threats we have received as a group and as individuals, and that we would handle it if any materialized. 

The Sheriff made it clear that we are Citizens as much as everyone else in the county, and if we were being harassed or threatened, he was a phone call away.

That is good enough for me.

I left having met my first "Constitutional Sheriff".  They do exist.  If you have a Constitutional Sheriff in your county, take the time to meet him.  If you don't have one - get one.

So, LEO are Sheepdogs, eh?

Well then, fuck a sheepdog.  Sideways.  With barbed wire.

You decide for yourself.

There is a video in which a group of armed gang members beat the shit out of a guy.

Are you ready to handle a swarm attack?  Are you willing to let ANY member of the swarm close enough to lay hands upon you?  Are you cultivating the "Fuck you, stay out of my personal space!" attitude?  Once you let one of them close, you will lose.  The only variable will be how many you get to take with you.

The ONLY hope this country has regarding "Law Enforcement" lies in elected Sheriff's who have a deep and sincere affinity for Natural Law and the United States Constitution.

Curious - what are your thoughts...

...on a former "Prosecutor" who admits knowingly and willfully putting people in prison for "crimes" that he admits should not have been "crimes"?  The only "penance" he is willing to suffer (behind his anonymous online presence) is a bit of guilt.  He won't try to go back and help any of the people he prosecuted...

He thinks "I" am a bad poster boy for the III and Liberty communities.

Entertaining reading at Bill's place, here.

There is no cavalry coming - John Wayne is dead...

Our hostess in Alabama submitted the above picture of her EDC bag.  I have no idea what she has inside, nor would I discuss it if I did...but I bet dollars to donuts a Bad Guy won't enjoy finding out...

Patriots across America are preparing for dark times ahead.  I hope you managed to get a bit of prep work in this weekend.  When the North American Liberty Games begin again at full-speed (most of us understand the starter pistol has already fired), there will be little time for OJT, there will be very few preps available, and even movement from one AO to another is likely to be very difficult, especially if you are moving with family and defensive capabilities.

Holly and I are currently driving across a beautiful piece of America under a cloudless sky.  We are reminded with every single trip we take that this country is simply too vast, too populated, to be controlled without the consent of the people.  Right now, most everyone has given their consent for the violence coming from men and women in government.  Most people will give more consent.  It will be a very few who resist, and even fewer who are willing to die upon our Founding Ideals.

I hope most of you have truly accepted the reality that if a decapitation strike comes from OpFor to the Patriot/Liberty communities, you are on that list.  You know the Trainer had an "interview" a year or so ago when he stepped off a plane.  You know the other day a Patriot known to Sandman had his wife visited while he was away from the house.  Do not think for a moment that these events, and countless others, are anything less than probing contacts to gauge responses.

I asked the other day if you had considered who would be the scapegoat.

It is coming, folks.  It is going to happen.  You are an impediment to whatever plans the Bad People have.  Demonization of "Patriots" and "Tea Party" and "Veterans" and so many other groups that you and I know to be solid, honest, rightful Americans is not a random whim exercised for fun - there is a plan, and you are firmly in the line of attack.

There is no cavalry coming.

Defending yourself will be a felony.  Speaking your mind is a felony.  They will lie about you.

They will kill you or have you bend knee.

No one is going to give you permission to do the work that must be done.

I really hope you are all cultivating the "Fuick You, that's why!" attitude, and incorporating it into every aspect of your life.

Not for my audience

This post is not for anyone in my audience or anyone coming to the Citadel PatCom.

This post is for the countless f'n idiots Holly and I run into during our travels at motels across the country.

Our dogs are Akitas.  They are Japanese hunting dogs.  Like Pit Bulls, they hunt bear and boar and deer - they are hearty of disposition and generally consider ALL 4-legged creatures to be practice prey for real hunting - said bear, boar and deer.  That means, my slow-witted motel-sharing countrymen, that just because your cute little Boxer, German Shorthair, Beagle or other dog is of sweet disposition and you think it is fine to let them out off-leash - when your stupid little fuckin' dogs run up to my dogs to play and make nice-nice - who are ALWAYS on a leash when out - my dogs do NOT consider how happy-happy your little fur-buddy may be before they kill it.

Please outgrow your stupid before my dogs end up killing one of yours.  I'd rather they kill YOU than your dog, but that isn't how it works.  I can only pick up and hold my 110 pound boy for so long while he tries to get free of my loving embrace to eat your little ankle-biter while you run across the courtyard apologizing.  If I didn't like dogs so much, I'd let mine kill yours.  But that's not me.

So, at least now it is public record - I have warned the world.  My dogs will eat yours if they are off leash and come to "play".

Sweet Gods we need to cull the herd of stupid people in America.
