KX3 Software
I cross-posted this at IIIComms blog, here. Feel free to add IIIComms to your blogroll - I am going to try to build a series of more specialized blogs for particular topics.
Given my personal expectations regarding the North American Liberty Games, I have decided to invest in an Elecraft KX3. Everyone I have spoken with who really understands Comms tells me the same thing - the KX3 is a great radio, and Elecraft is a great company.
Because I expect a WRoL state when SHTF, there are three old-school Cold War functions I would like this radio to incorporate: Burst transmission for CW, freq hopping, and encryption.
Here's where I need additional support from you Comms guys - can you recommend a software program that will help incorporate all or some of the features I want in my KX3? Please include strengths and weaknesses, as well as requirements that may be needed on the receiving radio for these options to be useful.
Thanks.

Matt Bracken has helped bring together as many Patriots as any man or woman I have seen - and he is offering another special for his books.
The link is here at WRSA.
Read. Steel your Soul. Liberty is not free, and no man can honestly, morally, depend on another man to do the hard work of securing it for him. You are responsible for YOUR Liberty.

21,000,000 firearms NICS checks in 2013 - Gonna be long lines in Connecticut and elsewhere, I guess...
Or, not.
If you believe that only violence will permit you to return to a state of Rightful Liberty, I would suggest you buy your weapons from a company that does not sell to your oppressors: III Arms Company. No .gov contracts. No .gov sales to LEO in uniform. No sales to LEO departments.
Patriots Only.
High quality Fighting Rifles and 1911 Pistols, prepared for any battlefield. Built by an old-world craftsman, not an assembly line drone.
I have never built a 1911 from scratch, and I thoroughly enjoy sharing emails with Jim Miller and asking him questions about what he is doing, how he is doing it, why he is doing it. After a few discussions you realize he is a perfectionist and he is not producing weapons that are simply "good enough."
Nearly every single piece going into the 1911 pistols he builds must be shaped and sized to match the pistol he is building. Every parts manufacturer out there has minor variances, and these are not bucket-builds. Many companies are willing to let their pistols and rifles leave the building with their name on the side, headed to retail and eventually into the hands of customers without proper fitting of essential parts. Quite frankly, their quality control standards are not sufficient for a weapon you will depend upon when your life is at stake.
"Good enough for government work" is a phrase that would probably start a fight in Jim Miller's shop.
If you are a serious III Patriot, you deserve a weapon built by Patriots, for you.
Visit the III Arms website. Send Jim an email. Tell him what you want and he'll tell you if he can help.
I have a personal interest in this as well: When I go to events and I see so many people wearing IIIGear, whether patches, hats, shirts - I want to see III Patriots also armed with III Arms. That is the ultimate expression to our Masters that we will have Liberty, or we will have a fight.
I would expect that Jim will be raising prices soon. The hours it takes to properly build at the quality Jim demands is significant. When you buy a III Arms firearm, you are not buying a Norinco or other firearm with tolerances and sub-standard metals that invite malfunctions and break-downs. You are buying tools of self defense and Liberty that will survive you, and your son, and his son as well.
The III is a timeless, proud, essential part of America. Carry the best gear you can, you deserve it, and the man at your shoulder deserves to know your gear is reliable.
Here's Jim's webpage.
Here's his Facebook.
One final note: Remember, Jim Miller is not accepting a salary for this work. The man is walking the walk. He is a III Patriot, trying to provide his fellow III Patriots with the finest Fighting Weapons possible. It's called III to III. There is a lot of that going around, and Jim is doing his part to help you protect your family and Liberty.

Article V Constitutional Convention - the noise is increasing
The Party Patriots are holding a symposium on the topic, here.
KrisAnne Hall discusses it here.
I have one position, it has not changed and it will not change: Con-Con means War-War.
Period. Full stop.
Warning to those who think this is a good idea: You are wrong. If you manage to schedule and convene a Con-Con, I will be there and I will help to burn the entire fucking place to the ground, with as many people inside as possible. That is not hyperbole. I am not kidding, even a little bit.
We on the Liberty side of the equation will not even get a seat at the table. And the people who would be in the room - I would not let them eat the corn out of my - uhm - trash. I don't care what promises they might make going into the room, what "limits" they promise to abide.
Con-Con is immediate, total war.
The moment they go into the room, we burn the entire fucking block to the ground.

The Gang Thug in the picture is now dead...
The guy above is dead.
He and three of his gang buddies decided to do a home invasion on Joe Torrez, an MMA fighter.
Torrez killed the idiot above.
He destroyed another guy who left on a stretcher with massive facial trauma. .
The other two guys bailed, and were caught by LEO soon after (probably the safest place for them, if you ask me.)
And local LEO - will not rule out bringing charges against Torrez for winning the fight, in his own home, when gang members broke in, with his child and fiancé in the home.
This happened in New Mexico, one of those states we tend to assume still has some common sense.
Fail.
Takeaway 1) You just shouldn't fuck with some men.
Takeaway 2) Rule of Law is dead.
Takeaway 3) When you must go, go hard. Second place in this case would have likely been death for Torrez, rape and death for his fiancé and the other women in the home, and who knows what such animals may have done to the child.
This is why we train.

Guys: What is your time for clearing leather, concealed, and firing? This gal may impress you...
She's new to drawing and firing. They took a novice and gave her about 5 minutes of instruction, according to the narrator of the video. Her pistol - it looks like a Ruger or Kel-Tec, is in her bra holster, under her shirt. Her best time - 1.39 seconds to clear leather and shoot from the hip.
What do you think?

A call for Freedom...
![]() |
| Map created to show how America would look if all of the calls for secession and/or separation in our history had been successful. |
For my Secessionist and Anarchist allies, our common ground is the goal of achieving Liberty. I think we can also all agree we want our Liberty to be "legal", in the sense that behaving in an at Liberty manner is not a "crime" and challenged by "The State".
To that end I would ask you to consider how we can address our weakness as a "Liberty Movement".
When the average NRA/Law & Order/not-yet-Awake/but-generally-decent-guy looks at the "Liberty Movement" he sees a series of labels for groups to which he has a knee-jerk negative reaction, thanks to being low-information, bombarded by Statist propaganda, and general failure to think for himself. In truth, the number of different labels within the Liberty Movement has the same end result as a third party candidate in a Presidential election - the third party will split the vote and ensure the other team wins. Our insistence on narrowly defining and labeling ourselves creates a lot of unnecessary political noise.
Joe sees some people calling themselves "Anarchists". Some call themselves "Secessionists". Some call themselves "Anarcho-Capitalists". Some call themselves "Libertarians". He can marginally relate to "Tea Partiers", but doesn't really want the hassle of being ostracized by identifying as such around all of his Karl Rove-ian friends. Some refuse to label themselves as anything but "Patriots". He sees people calling themselves "Three Percenters" which, on its face, is off-putting to the politically un-informed - who would want to be part of a group with only 3 percent of support? The list goes on, and you know as well as do I that Joe Sixpack does not understand you, people fear what they do not understand, and as a result of those factors and the fact that he is intellectually lazy, he's going to dismiss each of those groups and not even bother to research beyond, perhaps, a shallow Google search. He will stay where he is comfortable, in the grasp of Establishment Republicans.
The label he can and will accept is "Constitutionalist". He's been comfortable supporting "the Constitution" his entire life. He's may have taken an oath when he was younger to protect and defend that Constitution against all enemies, and that makes him part of a tough-guy, patriotic, "good" group of people. He likes that, and it is easy. He doesn't have to think much. Hell, even his political opposites refer to the Constitution as the authority for all the things they do, even though he disagrees with them.
The "Constitution" is the American political touchstone.
Consider what the "Liberty Movement" would look like to Joe Sixpack if all of those disparate groups dropped their labels and came together under the label of "Constitutionalist" with a single demand: Restore the Constitution. The movement would look larger and unified, chasing 2 concepts with which Joe is familiar and wants for himself: Liberty and Freedom. Joe could stand with that group. Joe is all about Freedom, it's American, dammit!
You don't like Joe, nor do I. But there is seemingly a consensus that we must win Joe's support in the pursuit of our genuine common goal of Liberty. You don't like the Constitution - I get it. But in the pursuit of Liberty, could we not unify our message for the public relations benefits that come with a unified front and message? Within the movement we all understand that you won't settle for the Constitution - but why not use "Restore the Constitution" as a real and sincere waypoint. For me, Restoration is a destination. For you, Restoration to an as ratified 1791 state is probably better than what we have now, but you will continue on toward your end game. To work, your calls to "Restore the Constitution" will have to be genuine and sincere - people innately sense deceptions. In your true heart you are being honest - Restoration as a waypoint - not an end point.
Liberty and Freedom are two concepts to which Joe will rally. "The Constitution" will earn Joe's support as a vehicle back to Liberty and Freedom.
If you seek genuine Liberty, I am asking you to seriously consider accepting "Restore the Constitution" as a sincere waypoint toward whatever your endgame may be...
Why? Because our mutual, existential enemies of Liberty will never leave you alone to realize your end goal. They will never let me reach my goal peacefully, either. You and I must be rid of our mutual enemies before anyone has a chance at Liberty. In your heart you know "The Left" will never permit an "amicable divorce". All pretense of civility will vanish the moment the two sides begin the discussion of division of assets and who gets "the kids". "The Left" has made this clear at every turn. "The Left" in California today is demanding that another sovereign state must change its flag.
Do you understand?
They. Will. Never. Let. You. Leave. Peacefully.
So, let's work together to dispatch our mutual enemy, then go our separate ways.
If you believe "Hearts & Minds" are essential and you want Joe Sixpack's support, the easiest way to earn that support is to stay well inside his comfort zone.
His comfort zone: Freedom, Liberty, and the Constitution.
Think about it.

Afterthought: I wonder how many LEO collecting registration information in Connecticut, and how many of the LEO confiscating firearms in New York and California, and curb-stomping gun owners in Illinois, New Jersey, DC, and beyond, are dues-paying, card-carrying members of OathKeepers - and of those members, how many Mr. Rhodes has refunded and kicked out of his organization...
Don't use your musket if you can kill 'em with your hatchet...
Standing Orders
- Don’t forget nothing.
- Have your musket clean as a whistle, hatchet scoured, sixty rounds powder and ball, and be ready to march at a minute’s warning.
- When you’re on the march, act the way you would if you was sneaking up on a deer. See the enemy first.
- Tell the truth about what you see and what you do. There is an army depending on us for correct information. You can lie all you please when you tell other folks about the Rangers, but don’t never lie to a Ranger or officer.
- Don’t never take a chance you don’t have to.
- When we’re on the march we march single file, far enough apart so one shot can’t go through two men.
- If we strike swamps, or soft ground, we spread out abreast, so it’s hard to track us.
- When we march, we keep moving till dark, so as to give the enemy the least possible chance at us.
- When we camp, half the party stays awake while the other half sleeps.
- If we take prisoners, we keep ‘em separate till we have had time to examine them, so they can’t cook up a story between ‘em.
- Don’t ever march home the same way. Take a different route so you won’t be ambushed.
- No matter whether we travel in big parties or little ones, each party has to keep a scout 20 yards ahead, 20 yards on each flank, and 20 yards in the rear so the main body can’t be surprised and wiped out.
- Every night you’ll be told where to meet if surrounded by a superior force.
- Don’t sit down to eat without posting sentries.
- Don’t sleep beyond dawn. Dawn’s when the French and Indians attack.
- Don’t cross a river by a regular ford.
- If somebody’s trailing you, make a circle, come back onto your own tracks, and ambush the folks that aim to ambush you.
- Don’t stand up when the enemy’s coming against you. Kneel down, lie down, hide behind a tree.
- Let the enemy come till he’s almost close enough to touch, then let him have it and jump out and finish him up with your hatchet.
- Don’t use your musket if you can kill ‘em with your hatchet.
Don't get fancy, folks. Keep it simple, even when the issue is complex with a steep learning curve (like modern comms) and especially when it really is a simple issue - like killing something that is Evil. Read #20 - over and over and over, until you feel that premise creeping into everything you do.
If armor in your AO concerns you, don't fret that you don't have armor piercing widgets - blow the fuel depot and every fuel re-supply effort.

"Savings Tax"
When .gov and their tools speak of you, the Citizen, taking a "haircut" financially, the picture above is really what they mean.
If you do not have X in a place where you can physically protect it, with violence if needed, you do not own X. Even then, they can take the value of what you hold (gold) and make it useless (illegal to possess or spend, and your neighbors WILL dime you out for a bread chit.)
Here's the second time we've heard this from the IMF in a few months. If you remember back in October, on the very same day Barrycades were being Returned to Sender, the IMF was meeting (literally just a few blocks away from where the Barrycades were being dumped) and floated this "Wealth Tax" concept. Now we hear of it again. When you read the article, you will understand that "Nations" have been taking the money of their "Citizens" since well before you were born. They are good at it. They have done it before, and will again, one way or another. Whether you hold paper or gold or your home on a piece of ground you "thought" was yours, the "value" it holds today will be taken from you and given to others.
This is why I have held since beginning this blog that millions of people work every single day, in their own interests, to push the economic implosion as far into the future as possible - and people are very clever. You say the US Government is hundreds of trillions in debt? I say pooh. All they have to do is declare one day "You will forgive us our debt to you. Have a nice f'n day and a warm mug of Fuck Off." Whether you are a FedGov pensioner, an old lady recovering your Social Security contributions, or the Chinese Government, it won't matter one whit. They've done it before, they will do it again.
Buy lead, instead. And give 'em all they want...

III: 2014
You happen to be an obstacle in a plan being implemented by the kind of people who will kill tens-of-millions of strangers and allies at a time and feel righteously, morally good about that deed and themselves the next morning.
2013 is behind us and any objective assessment has to conclude it was owned by the Communists.
Communist: Anyone who believes it is morally acceptable to take the property or labor of one man and give that property or labor to another, by force of arms if necessary, or to infringe the Rightful Liberty of any man who has not violated the same Liberty of another.
That's my working definition of Communism, and please do not bug me with corrections. I use the word Communist as a broad label because it is a word that still carries a negative connotation, even among our younger generations and because, at the root, the Evil that is challenging Liberty is to be found with Marx. Yes, we all understand that the number of "true Communists" is very small, most people calling themselves Communists use it merely as a camouflage and tool to amass personal power.
American Liberty, Rightful Liberty, lost ground on every front of the polygonal battlespace in 2013.
We need only to glance at 2A as a litmus.
To my 2A allies who believe they won battles or gained ground, I am sorry but you are deluding yourselves. California and New York are confiscating firearms, right now and your NRA and Law & Order buddies are standing in lines in Connecticut, as ordered, while grumbling and mumbling inaudible words about the Second Amendment - and most of them would leave their firearms at the registration point, if the unarmed clerk behind the desk ordered it so. And don't even look at the Cluster Foxtrot that is Illinois. These four states, as measured by their state and local governments and federal delegations, and most of their civilian populations, are solidly Commie Red.
The "Prohibited Persons" sphere is growing and as soon as ObamaCare gets ramped up, you can look for full implementation of the "Prohibited Persons" silliness to be extended in concentric, ever-larger circles, eventually to ensnare anyone who has ever taken an aspirin as "mentally deficient to own a firearm". The "Not one more inch" plank of the 2A battlespace is the biggest liability to true recovery of 2A Liberty - because they do not mean to back up a single word of their hyperbole. At least the poor bastards standing in line in Connecticut are intellectually honest about their submission. The "OathKeeper" plank of the Liberty Movement is another massive liability and self-delusion for the same reason: They simply refuse to back up their threats and promises with legitimate action. They promise they will not do X or Y, while doing X and Y and Z.
To my allies who are holding out hope that a Great Awakening is underway, please stop. It is embarrassing and sad to watch. Look to your left and to your right - that's who you've got (and many of them will fail to show at the muster point), and the number of people who want and will actually fight for Rightful Liberty will continue to decline, not increase. Sorry folks, most of the people who actually want Freedom and Rightful Liberty are old and dying out of our ranks faster than we are adding new recruits. This trend will not change before or during the Festivities, because, let's face the truth, there isn't enough time and most people do not want genuine Freedom or Liberty, and they will dime you or kill you outright if you try to make them accept the responsibility.
2014 forecast and suggestions: Every III Patriot should be at Cooper Yellow every single moment, even when you are asleep, and ready to zip through orange to red in a heartbeat. Your family should be ready for an emergency call all day, every day. Every III Patriot should spend every waking hour cramming for the hands-on Practical Exam that is in our imminent future by personally learning as much as you can learn about the combat arts. I do not mean only hand-to-hand - I mean every aspect of what will face you when SHTF from Intelligence to Comms to Medical to Hearts & Minds propaganda. If you have been on a relaxed learning pace, you'd better drop every non-essential, non-combat-related activity from this day forth, and invest in skills that will improve your odds of living. Anything you do not own that you think you may need - get it now. When they shut off the money and/or the flow of goods/services, there will be no warning.
This is your warning.
We are on a clock, folks. You and I have almost zero ability to influence that clock. The Enemies of Liberty are working 24/7/365 and have tens-of-millions of minions working to implement their plan. You fit in that plan - and not in the fun way. They will be coming for you - whether they unleash a mob in your local major metro to rape, pillage and plunder, whether the dollar implodes and the grocery stores close, whether the pharmacies close as a brutal "new" flu races across the landscape, whether the electricity gets turned off in strategic areas - the "How" of it makes little difference.
You happen to be an obstacle in a plan being implemented by the kind of people who will kill tens-of-millions of strangers and allies at a time and feel righteously, morally good about that deed and themselves the next morning.
I expect a ramping-up of "events" through the year, isolated events that get harder and harder in tone, in intent, in violence as they begin to escalate the conditioning of the masses for what will come. Then, sometime near or soon after the November elections, they will begin to go hard.
If you live in a city or suburb, even if you plan to stay in place, you need to have an E&E plan to get out of the opening round of whatever-the-hell is coming. Once the first wave is receding, slip back into your city or suburban nest - quietly. Don't meet the first wave head-on, force-on-force. Let them kill and weaken one another while you reserve your energy and stores. If you plan to get your family off the line of attack by getting physically removed from major metro areas and suburbs, do it as early in 2014 as you are able.
Consider every day remaining a gift if you do not have to implement your worst-case scenario plans. Work your local HARD. Never forget this ugly reality: We will NOT vote our way out of what is coming, but a local political infrastructure is an absolute requirement. Do everything in your power to make certain the best possible person is your local mayor and dog catcher, for when SHTF the people in many of those positions will play a role in how your life continues. Local politics is essential. Local Hearts & Minds is essential. You are in a position to influence both. Do it.
I do not expect anything horrible on a national scale until fall or later - but how the hell do I know? The economy may implode at almost any moment - remember how fast everything began to lock up last time? This time, they will freeze your digital dollars, they will demand you surrender your gold and silver. They will not even play the pretense of trying to keep the system running.
The North American Liberty Games, Version III, have begun.

All your children are belong to us...
From MSNBC:
“We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we've always had kind of a private notion of children. Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility. We haven't had a very collective notion of these are our children,” she says in a spot for the network’s “Lean Forward” campaign. “So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to whole communities.” [emphasis added]
