All I want for Christmas is my...Minuteman 15 from III Arms!

III Arms Black Friday & Christmas Raffle for a Minuteman 15?

First details up at the blog, here.

I'll keep an eye on their press releases and let you know when everything is set.

Paraphrased: If you will not break a rule, how can you expect to break bone?

The quote is at about 1:51 in the clip.

There will never be a permission slip to recover your Liberty.  Not from me - it is not mine to give.  Not from the Enemies of Liberty - they have an agenda.  Everything you do to secure Liberty will become increasingly criminalized.  Men and women with badges and guns will enforce those laws and stand as the armed sentries between you and Liberty.  They will crack the whips upon the backs of your children.  They have permission, already. 

You, do not.  You, will not.

To be a freeman at Liberty you will be forced to step outside the King's Law - you will be forced to become the definition of the title: Outlaw.

Use this information as you will.

Moral High Ground: Who holds it, right now...

The polls in the right column offer interesting insights to the people who choose to come here and read.  One of the greatest assets of traveling and sharing CQB skills with Patriots over the summer was the ability to meet in person, take the measure of one another, build trust, cohesion and morale.  As a result of our face-to-face discussions, I knew how the polls at right would be answered.  I know where most of you stand, how ready you are to join John Parker on the Green, and in some cases, who is ready to be John Parker.

Something else I know about some of the folks who come here, folks who generally seek the same outcome as do I (Liberty) - some of you wish I would shut down the blog, or at least change my tone or rhetoric.  I also know some have discussed making that happen, with or without my cooperation.  I also know I have some allies who would show up at the X spot on the map if I asked for help, and they'd be loaded for bear.

Here is something I'd like to ask:  Do you think Patriots have the moral right to resort to proactive violence, right now, given the behaviors of the Enemies of Liberty, if they decided to do so?

I'm not calling for action.  This is a discussion, only.  I'm not asking any "...what if..." questions.  I am not even going to identify targets, other than to say thou shall not murder (quite different than thou shall not kill) and no malum in se is permissible, even in this rhetorical.  I am not asking what your trigger or tripwire would be.

Simply stated: Have the Enemies of Liberty already crossed the line so far that Patriots would be on the proper side of morality if they started hunting today...

93% of you who answered the poll said that the Rule of Law is dead...

96% of you said it is time to respond in kind...

Most of you recognize the stupidity and emptiness of the "No Fort Sumter" rule, given that the Enemies of Liberty violate that standard every single day of the week.

If a Patriot, or a Team of Patriots, went to the Green tonight, would you agree that they hold the Moral High Ground?

The poll is at right.  Yes, I think I know how most of you will answer - because many of us have met, and talked, and sworn Lives, Fortunes, and Sacred Honor.

Please take a second and answer the poll, and let your fellow Patriots know where you stand.

Reminder: Reindeer Games

I write this general post at least once a year, and it is time to write it again.

I am compromised.  I know my comms are monitored by .gov as well as .gov contractors.  You must understand that simply visiting this blog, Kerodin.com, and just about any other blog in the Liberty Movement has you on a list and you are being mapped.  They are mapping your nodes.  They are drawing a physical profile of everyone with which you communicate, in any medium, for any reason, as they consider your threat potential and the ability to compromise you either now or in the future.  That means your comms are likely already compromised as well, unless you are going old-school and whispering into someone's ear - and these days, I'd be wary of that being secure.  TOR is not secure.  Hushmail and similar services are not secure.  Encryption is not secure.  I operate on the premise that everything I say and do is monitored and recorded, simply because I am who I am.

And I operate on that premise because I know it is reality.

This is why I have never asked any of you about sensitive matters, and why I tell you not to include me in any reindeer games you may have running.  What I do not know, I can not compromise.  But the moment you put something sensitive into a digital format, you must assume it is compromised.  If you are writing a piece of fiction and you detail an operation in email, you must abort because you must assume your Hero's cover is blown and known to the other side.

There is a reason I am still on the porch - several reasons, actually.  Fundamentally the reason is because I choose to be on the porch for now and do all of my work in full transparency.  Right now my work is centered around helping as many Patriots as possible get off the line of attack, move to the Redoubt and bring a business with them, get the Citadel concept moving at an even faster pace, train Patriots in my specialty, and encourage them to train with others who specialize in other aspects of the fighting arts.  For my allies who have chosen to remain in their respective AO's for the coming festivities, my goal is to help improve your position as much as I am able given my paradigm.  I work to build morale and cohesion as much as possible.  The polls at right help everyone take the pulse of their fellow Patriots.

When I decide to leave the porch, if I decide to do so, I'll extend the same courtesy to you and not loop you into my reindeer games.  I will never ask anyone to go there with me.

Be smart, folks.  Don't make it easy for Enemies of Liberty to take you out before the Liberty Games get fully underway.  Look at the polls on the right column again - understand that you are not alone. 

Stay safe.

Police State: Own it...

The Daily Smug has a piece today about school officials threatening parents with "Child Welfare" interventions if they fail to do X or Y for their children. 

This story is simply one more instance of the aggressive pace the Enemies of Liberty are using to condition the American populace.  I don't need to put together a long train of abuses to illustrate the point - other bloggers have done so, and to be honest, if you can't see it by now, I can't help you.

America has become a Police State in the classic definition of the Cold War vernacular.

Those who mean to be Masters are in control, and they use the power of the State to force compliance to their commands.  If you fail to comply, from paying property taxes on your home to feeding your children the bag lunch they demand you pack, to any of thousands of other commands, you will be met with the force-projection assets of the State and you will comply, or die.

Police State.

Own it.

Owning it does not mean you have to accept it, or tolerate it, or bend knee.  You decide how you will live, and if you are lucky perhaps you will have some control over how and when you die, and why.

My fellow III Patriots, I am going to ask of you: Adjust your stance and acknowledge that you and yours are now living in a Police State.  Accept that it has happened - not that it will happen if we keep going down this path, or that it might happen if...

We are here.  This is what was known to the East Germans and the Soviets.  Ours is as brutal, as detached from Rule of Law, even if the level of fear has not yet reached the saturation point of the general population.  But saturation is inevitable, it is a goal currently being pursued, and the only hope that remains for your children is that you accept that the Police State is our reality.

My writing in the future will only be useful to those who accept that we are now fully embraced by the American Police State.  I have no room for "if" or "when".

It is now.

Own it.  Prepare to defend yourself. 

Here's the Daily Smug piece.

I have rebuilt Kerodin.com and added it to the blogroll.  Some information will be better suited to that venue as we go forward and the III 300 need to communicate.

Capital Controls...

The Fed is proposing more rules and tools for controlling the capital supply.  They are worried about bank runs, and want more "legal" means of holding onto your money when you ask for it.  This is simply one more bit of information that should help inform your decisions regarding preps and defensive positions.

Here's the story.

PJB: ObamaCare to kill the Liberal Brand?

Pat Buchanan examines the ObamaCare collapse through the political lens, and concludes the political fallout could be significant enough to kill Liberalism, or at least make it a dirty word again for another 40 years as the '60s did once before.

As usual, PJBs analysis is spot-on.

My fear: PJB did not discuss the possibility that the current "Liberals" have no intention of moving on during the 2016 election cycle, that they are not operating in what we would call a "normal political paradigm", but instead they mean to take America to a place she has never been before - a true tyranny guided by Stalin, Mao and Valerie Jarrett where there is no peaceful transfer of power.

I agree with PJB: Under "normal" conditions this ObamaCare implosion could cripple the D political machine for generations.

But I am not sanguine we are operating within a normal American paradigm.  I fear we are truly dealing with evil people who intend to bring the system down by deliberate action, then to rule in their chosen "New Normal" - a 'new normal' that will have nothing to do with DoI/BoR Liberty.

Here's PJBs column.

I would not recommend you stop prepping.  Not.  For.  A.  Single.  Second.

BLACK PANTHER LEADER: KILL WHITE BABIES BY BOMBING NURSERIES

This country is filled with far too many stupid people.

Starting a Race War as the detonator for the larger Liberty Games will work, if that is what they are trying to do.

The Minuteman 15: Review from an owner

The III Arms Minuteman 15 in the picture was purchased by a III Patriot that Holly and I had the good fortune to meet.  We trained CQB with him and his Tribe, and had a great weekend with he and his wonderful wife.  I'm not going to identify this Patriot for obvious reasons, but I can tell you that he is a serious, smart, dedicated III Patriot. 

Click the picture above to get a better look - you'll see the official III Trademark cut into the mag well.  III Arms President Jim Miller built this rifle, as he builds every III Arms firearm, to be a serious fighting weapon for serious III Patriots who know they may have to walk to the Green and honor Captain John Parker. 

When our Patriot received his rifle from III Arms, he had the trigger upgraded from stock, added the quad rail (which he had Miller paint for him) and added his optics.  I'm going to post his review of the rifle below.  I can't tell you how proud I am that this rifle has become his Go-To AR.  I am proud simply to have been a tiny part of helping that rifle come into existence through this blog, with the support of all you wonderful Patriots.  Of course Jim Miller is too humble to say it himself, but the man is a craftsman, he is not a parts assembler, he is a firearms builder.  But you don't have to accept simply my word for it.  The fact that this rifle has become the Go-To AR in this Patriots arsenal says it all.

Remember how many provocateurs in this community who sneered and jeered as III Arms rumbled to life, claiming the company was a joke, and worse, and would never ship a single product?  I remember.  Jim remembers.  Our Founders remember.  Supporters of this site remember.  And today it is a III Arms Minuteman 15 that will be taken to the Green if our Patriot ever needs to take that walk.  Congratulations and Thank You to every single Patriot who supported the III Arms concept.  Congratulations and Thank You to Jim Miller for picking up the rope and pulling far more than his share of the weight of this project, and he is still going strong.  To the critics, nothing needs to be said.

And remember, III Arms is not about profit.  There are no salaries.  Jim has taken point on this aspect of building the Citadel, because as you know the profits generated from III Arms are used for the Citadel.  It was just over a year ago (Summer 2012) when we first mentioned the concept of the Citadel, and evolved the idea that III Arms would be the cornerstone economic engine to bring the Citadel to life.  It was just over a year ago, November 6th to be exact, when Jim accepted his first order.  It was February of this year when the BATFE issued Jim his license to build.

I am proud to stand with each and every one of you, my fellow III Patriots who come to this little website on the internet.  We have all proven that we accomplish goals.  We do the work.  Every III Patriot in this audience who helped, even if only with your moral support, has proven the III has teeth.  You made all of this possible.

Here is the review written by the III Patriot who owns the rifle pictured above: 

James and Sam,

A few additional pictures will be coming your way of my III Arms AR15.

I had the quad rail installed that you painted for me.

I had a better trigger installed as the stock triggers on AR's are not to my liking.

It has a Browe scope and Larue backup iron sights now.

I also put on an ambi charging handle since I am a lefty.

I have tried 6 different mags so far.

A surefire 60 rd, Pmags (yours and a window Pmag), HK steel mags, stock GI mags and a cheap plastic mag.

Fired each mag loaded to capacity until empty and locked open.

All mags functioned in rifle flawlessly and no malfunctions at all.

I regularly used Rem lube to keep bolt assembly and rifle wet.

Extremely pleased with your craftsmanship.

Extremely pleased with fit and function of rifle and its paint job.

Its my #1 AR now.

 

~~

 

Huzzah, Patriots!  Well done.  Well done to each and every single one of you who helped to make this happen.  You have proven that you are more than words, you will not bend knee, you will stand tall and help pull the rope.  We will do more work together.  By Patriots, for Patriots.  We will restore Liberty in our lifetime with Patriots like you who dare to stand and be counted.

 

Here's the III Arms company website.

 

Lives.  Fortunes.  Sacred Honor.

III Arms Lowers & BCGs in stock

Yes, that is an authentic III Arms AR - see the III on the magwell?  See the III on the bolt carrier?

That's what a real III Arms fighting rifle looks like in the world.  Beware counterfeit junk.

III Arms Minuteman 15 somewhere west of the Rockies...

Miller has Bolt Carrier Groups available, here.

80% AR Lowers, here.

And of course full rifles and 1911s, here.

III Arms are NOT safe queens, folks.  They are specifically made to defend Liberty and your life.

III Arms is not your average firearm company - it was brought into creation by Patriots, for Patriots.

Hey, they're just Commies - it's ok! Settle down!

Just a quick check of my moral compass to see if I am off True North...It's a bit old, my Granddaddies helped set it up for me...

I consider Socialists, Liberals, Dems, Establishment Republicans and everyone else who approves of direct taxation and wealth redistribution to be, essentially, Communists, forgive the imprecise use of the word.  They are immoral parasites.

Now, I take the position that I have no moral obligation to tolerate these parasites who steal from me (via proxy - taxation) living next door to me, in my town, in my state or in my country.  I believe I am under no moral obligation to suffer these parasites voting to take my stuff or to determine what my children should learn, when or where or how I may observe religion.  I believe I am under no moral obligation to give such people a piece of my country so they can live as they wish, just because they were born here and chose to be parasites, whether by Nature or Nurture.

I believe it is morally sound to ask these people to please stop infringing my Liberty.

If they refuse, I believe it is moral to make them stop - they can leave or I am morally permitted to end their infringements by any means necessary - including forced deportation.  If they want to go hard, we can go hard and dig a ditch.  Fugg'em.

I believe I am under no moral obligation to leave ANY part of America because I have a majority of neighbors who choose, whether by Nature or Nurture, to assert a right to my stuff.

I think if my Democrat neighbor stops voting for politicians who promise to steal my stuff, we're good.  I think if my Democrat neighbor continues to insist he has a right to my stuff, via legislation or any other means, I have the moral right of self defense.

I also believe that killing a Commie is not murder, but killing, and carries no moral burden. (Commie is defined as a person actively trying to take my stuff, either directly or indirectly)

New poll at right column.  Let me know if my Grandfathers were right, or if today's "Commies can live next door" culture is a better solution.  Maybe I'm the one with the wrong worldview...

RoL is dead and open warfare is upon us...

Read the story.

Scott Walker is a sitting United States Governor, and about as far as it gets from a Rightful Liberty position - and they are coming after him and his supporters with letters of writ and weapons.

What do you think they have in mind for you and me?

Gentlemen - prepare to defend yourselves...

Do not try this at home, kiddies...

The biggest hindrance I face when teaching is the defense of falling. 

If you do not know how to fall properly, most of the techniques in this video will take the attacker out of the fight.  The ground hurts.  When you are thrown into the ground hard, it breaks you up or steals your wind.

Falling is an art unto itself - defensive.  If a good fighter has you and you resist when you should go with his energy - you will break.

Yes, there is a bigger message there.  I'll let you work it out.

Tool - Aenema

Tell me the truth, folks - doesn't it simply seem easier to let the entire f*cking thing burn to the ground and start fresh with whoever survives?

It's a momentary emotion.  I know it must be done properly.  But, dammit, Mother Nature [Mom] sure could help get the process over faster.

If you had not committed great sins...

Many a ship has broken her keel upon the Kerodin rocks.

Do you believe that you have a role to play in this lifetime, even if you are not sure what that role may be?  I think there is something to that concept.  I also think I could be drop-dead wrong and life is nothing more than a momentary aberration in the Universe - nothing more than the collision of atoms that flash, and are then gone...

For now, I'll go with purpose.

Since I was a kid I attracted bullies.  I was smaller than most.  I never broke 130 pounds until well after 30 years of age.  I was a lippy little bastard - I know, hard to believe!  But I can tell you in all sincerity that I can be standing alone in the middle of a dark night, minding my own business, and some F*ck finds me and tries to start sh*t.  Holly didn't begin to really understand it until she watched it happen, time and again.

You may consider this pure hubris and bullsh*t - but that quote above from Khan resonates with me.  No, I do not have a God Complex.  It isn't even about religion.

I have found that sometimes when a man, or men, need an attitude adjustment, somehow they find me.  You've seen it here.  Firestone & Folly came to this site and started their silliness.  Militialaw did the same - he came here.  There is a silly-arsed Mayor in Texas who needs to keep my name out of his mouth.  There have been many, and there will be more.  Why?  Beats me, just been a pattern all my life. 

You may be tempted to say "Uh, K - it's because you're an ass, dude."  You might not be entirely wrong.

But, I'd buy that possibility if these people did not come to me, out of nowhere.  Don't get me wrong, I know I stir the sh*t from time to time, but progress usually is the result.  People are defined for others to see.  Just leave me the hell alone, and there'd never be a problem.  That is my personal philosophy, and most Patriots want the same in life.

I have work to do in Idaho, made much easier by so many of you.  Thank you.  You know how to reach me if you need anything with which I am able to help.

So, to the ass hats in the community and those who will soon be coming at me from beyond this community - commit no great sins, and perhaps the Gods will keep our paths from intersecting. 

You'll be happier, and I'll look like less of an ass all the time.  Don't start none, won't be none...

But I'm not in the mood to be all cosmic and philosophical.  You would be wise to take this post with a grain of salt, and consider the kernel that may be truth.  If you and I are banging heads - ask yourself honestly if it is all my fault, or if you played a role in the Ruckus. 

But, the answer is beyond the minds of Men.

It simply is what it is...
