Real life...

If you have been through my CQB course, you will recognize a bit here and there as you watch this video.  I do not have the years it takes in a 1-day CQB class to teach the nuance, the subtle, the unseen - so I boil a few techniques down from Aiki that I know I can teach anyone in a single day - such as breaks, getting off the line of attack, and getting your hands free, no matter what.  Some of what I teach is not from an Aiki dojo today - but it would have been 150 years ago.

Watch this video if for no other reason, to inform your mind that there are worlds within the Human experience you may have never known existed, things you will never believe until they happen to you, or you see them with your own eyes.

As you watch, remember she is in training mode - at any given moment in every single technique, she could end the fight - especially if her attacker is not adept at falling defensively.

If you still have doubts after watching it, I invite you to attend one of her seminars, and attempt to put your hands on her.

G'head.  I double-dawg dare ya...   Hey, for some real experience, sneak-up on her and give it a shot.  ;)

Pay particular attention to the fact, somewhere around 1:06, that she has a tanto in her waistband, and when she uses it, her techniques never change - whether armed or unarmed, every technique is essentially the same.  She decides how every encounter will end...

St.-Sgt. Evyatar Turgeman

St.-Sgt. Evyatar Turgeman, 20, from Beit She'an, was killed on Tuesday morning in a firefight with terrorists in Gaza. Turgeman served in the Paratroopers Brigade.

32 Israeli's dead.  They are killing Hamas at a 10:1 ratio - 10 Hamas die to each strong, brave, young, well-trained and supplied Golani soldier.

So, what is your condition, supply chain, stamina compared to the young in IDF?

Think the ratio here in America would be 10:1 in favor of the modern Colonials?

Here's a piece from JP.

War is ugly and hard.  Don't even get off the sofa if you are not willing to go hard enough and smart enough to hit 50:1 - yeah, that's a calculated number on the low-side.

Most of the guys I know will lose a 30-second fight with a punching bag.  The guys who brag they can ruck full kit in X time - that's great.  Now stop halfway home on your "training" and fight a serious 20-year-old with no weapons - then go home.

My fellow Patriots: We are not as hard as we'd like to think.  Just because the Master Class is just as bad is no solace or excuse - they have Tribe, Tech, Resupply, Numbers, and time...

Train harder.

Yeah, they are just bureaucrats - not guilty of anything...

In addition to data like fingerprints, travel itineraries, identification documents and gun licenses, the rules encourage screeners to acquire health insurance information, drug prescriptions, “any cards with an electronic strip on it (hotel cards, grocery cards, gift cards, frequent flyer cards),” cellphones, email addresses, binoculars, peroxide, bank account numbers, pay stubs, academic transcripts, parking and speeding tickets, and want ads. The digital information singled out for collection includes social media accounts, cell phone lists, speed dial numbers, laptop images, thumb drives, iPods, Kindles, and cameras. All of the information is then uploaded to the TIDE database.

Screeners are also instructed to collect data on any “pocket litter,” scuba gear, EZ Passes, library cards, and the titles of any books, along with information about their condition—”e.g., new, dog-eared, annotated, unopened.” Business cards and conference materials are also targeted, as well as “anything with an account number” and information about any gold or jewelry worn by the watchlisted individual. Even “animal information”—details about pets from veterinarians or tracking chips—is requested. The rulebook also encourages the collection of biometric or biographical data about the travel partners of watchlisted individuals.

Read the rest.

It is what it is...

The Patriots who read this blog tend to be a bit more hardcore and realistic than many other sites.

Look at the poll on the right.  Consider the percentages.  Can you say "Oh, fuck..."?

LGoPs who would have gone to work had Bundy gone hot - would have been a lonely bunch.  Not enough would have done anything to prevent OpFor dominance.

The larger percentage take the same approach as did Captain Parker - they vote to wait until the "Bad People come to their neighborhoods".  But this is not 1775, even if there are parallels.

Folks - the Bad People ARE in your neighborhoods.  Right now.

Normalcy bias will lead you straight to the boxcar.

Fuck.  A LOT of you who read this blog are headed for the rail cars, and you don't even see it.  That AR, for many of you, is nothing but a baby's woobie.  It helps you sleep at night, but it won't save you from reality.

I'll meet you down in Arizona Bay.  Or, not.

The "Oh Shit" Reality

I do not teach people "Martial Arts".

My CQB class is exactly as advertised: I teach you to Fight to your Weapon.

I throw a few extra techniques into the course that allow anyone to break anyone stoopit enough to get too touchy-feely.

The Idaho Studio will not teach you "Martial Arts".  If you want to learn the numerous ways out of a headlock from the ground - go find a Gracie school and sign up for a few years.  You want to learn to throw an attacker who has 200 pounds on you, momentum and a handful of your shirt, and you weigh 85 pounds - go find an Aiki dojo and train for a decade.  If you want to learn "Combatives" that they teach new .mil recruits - just hit a good Gracie school for about 3-4 months.

You want to learn how to break an idiot in the least amount of time and with minimal effort, all the while remaining in a defensively-capable posture - ok, now you can come to my Studio.

I teach you to break people - and if he dies or can never use that limb again, tough-titty said the kitty when the milk went dry.

My uncle used to say something that makes more sense every single day I get older: A young man will fight you.  An old man will kill you.

If you ever need the techniques I teach, you've already fucked-up and you are in an "Oh Shit!" moment of your life.  You should have shot that bastard 250 yards ago.  At the least you should have drawn your sidearm and shot him as he charged.

If you ever need what I teach, you'd better have it.

...to the fuckin' hilt...

Along with the rest of the city's estimated 25,000 Christians who had not already fled years of kidnappings, bombings and shootings, Sunni militants gave 36-year-old Fadi, his wife and son until Saturday to comply with a brutal ultimatum: convert to Islam, pay an unspecified tax, leave the city or die.

Does this offend you? This order to convert, pay a tax, leave or die?

If you are looking simply through the lens of a Christian being given a set of choices, you're probably offended and puffy-faced.  How dare they oppress Christians!?

Now, replace a few words and post it on every lamp post in America: ...convert to Rightful Liberty, abandon forever coerced Socialism, Communism and their various flavors, leave or die.

Still got a problem with it?

I don't.

Here's the story.  Clear the lifetime of conditioning from your eyes, Patriots.

Just a pleasant reminder...

This is a post my attorney would never approve, so let's just leave her out of it until some future date when I have to pay her because of it.

In the last month I have had several stupid people make runs at me in one way or another, from several different parts of this country.  Anyone who has read my blog for any length of time knows I usually ignore The Stupid until...

...then I offer to meet them anyplace they wish.  Never once has anyone had the balls to meet.  When they try to hide behind screen names and such, I (with a little help from my friends) find them and we escalate until The Stupid slinks away and decides to hide like a bitch.  I fear my kinder, gentler self has been too much on display recently, and some people may have unrealistic expectations regarding my kindly disposition and willingness to tolerate The Stupid.

So, if this is not a post directed at you, your gut is telling you so right now.  If it is not directed at you, I have a little Molly Hatchet at the top of the post so you can relax and enjoy a bit of the 70's.

No harm, no bad intentions, no worries.

If this post is for you - and you know in your heart if it is - (or you just like cool music) there is a little Disturbed at the bottom of the page.

If you are a Fed or other LEO and want to talk, it's clearly listed at the top of the page: Knock on my front door and I'll invite you into my place, or call me and I'll walk into your place.  There is no need for drama or games.

For you Fucktards who have been swimming in my waters with mal-intent, go the fuck away, now.

You do not have to go home, but staying here will get you hurt.  And, no, the coroner will NOT rule it a drowning.  I promise, I will have 6 alibis from seven allies in 9 different states.

If you come at me, or come at me again, or you continue to circle, or you come at someone I know, trust or respect, using me, my name, or my work, or any of the projects with which I am involved, from my promotion of III Arms to the Citadel to the TOC or others, there will be a problem you can't handle in your future.  Do not fuck with me.  Do not fuck with the III.  Do not fuck with my allies.  Do not fuck with the work we are doing.

That is your final warning.  Oh - and don't even bother writing me and asking "Is this post about me????

Now, back to our regularly-scheduled programming.

Wirecutter: III Percent Society Senior Policy Advisor

Kenny has accepted the responsibility of helping to steer this battleship we've named the III Percent Society, and wrote a piece on it, here.

Thanks, Kenny. 

There is a magic number in Washington DC politics: 3,000.

If you have an organization with 3,000 or more members, politicians and media begin paying attention.  When you look at the daily readers of IIIPercent, WRSA, Wirecutter, DTG, Mason Dixon & Vixen, and others, we can hit that magical 3,000 number easily.  But it takes YOU.  We need YOU to step up and join.  There is no way we can do the work that needs to be done by ourselves.

Here's Wirecutter's piece.

Thanks, Kenny.

LGoPs: DefCon Status

Where are you and your LGoPs in status regarding leaving home & hearth, meeting on the Town Green and going to work in your AO?

Remember, this is a Google product in the clear, and your answer will be known to the Throne.

I have added a poll at right.

DefCon 1: Let's rock!  I'm ready right now!

DefCon 2: If Bundy had gone hot, I would have gone active in my AO.

DefCon 3: When Bad People come to my neighborhood, I'll go active.

DefCon 4:  We're at least a few years away from me leaving the porch.

Qualifier on DefCon 1: NORAD says DefCon 1 signals nuclear war is imminent.  I think most of us would agree that Bad Things are imminent - so for DefCon 1 the question option is really: I'm ready to go in my AO as soon as I see some of you bastards go first in your AOs.

Political Insight: Local Official: Feds Drop 'Unknown Number' of Illegal Kids in VA County Without Warning

Punishment.  That is at least part of what the immigration SNAFU is about.

There are many counties in the DC metro area.  A bunch of illegals were just dumped in Prince William County, a rural (becoming suburbanized) Right-leaning, anti-immigration county.

Do you remember when they closed a lot of car dealers, and we discovered the Republican donors were the ones shut, while most Dem donor dealerships were allowed to remain open?

Political punishment.

Personalized politics.

The definition of WRoL and Tyranny.  Who you know, not what you know...

That is part of what is happening.

Here's a piece that skims the surface, but doesn't connect the dots.

OK - let's dance...

None of the wars fought here in America had universal starting dates.

Did RevWarI begin at Lexington where John Parker famously met the British on the march?  Or did it begin five years earlier at the Boston Massacre?  Historians may reasonably differ.  But there is a difference between what happened at Lexington and Concord and all the previous skirmishes.

Lexington & Concord marked the point of no return.

That bell could never be un-rung.  The warrants issued for Hancock and Adams were for High Treason.  Lexington & Concord marked that moment in which everyone chose a side.

RevWarII was a bit jerky to get underway as well, but everyone essentially settles on Sumter.

RevWarIII - now this one is ours.  If you do not own it yet, you are behind the curve and need to catch up, or just do what you are told, Hodor.  I've used October 13th at the National Mall.  Yeah, there were guns in the crowds pressing US Capitol Police to the edge of their wits.  They knew it was not a bunch of hippies who would just sit and be pepper-sprayed.  I have also used April 12 in the desert at Bunkerville.  King's men (armed) faced squarely with armed Citizens - and not only retreated, but surrendered their stolen property.  Few think that one is really over.  Think of a blacked-out whirly-bird, fast-roping guys trained in special, special-bus courses by guys who have fast-roped into real shit.

To be honest, RevWarIII could have started at many incidents prior to my two examples.  LEO has murdered dozens of people across the land in the last 36 months.  Thousands of people have been processed through Government prisons for this or that, most of their crimes malum prohibitum.

Regardless what day you mark on the calendar, it's on right now.  The alphabets are trying to move pieces on the board in these weeks, months and years leading to 2016.  Ask the Trainer, he knows.

Ask meI know.  Firsthand.

Actually, don't ask.  I can't give many details at the moment - just know that tomorrow will include a discussion with two members of the III Percent Society Board regarding continuity of efforts.

For anyone who thinks getting online and challenging FedGov and those who would execute their orders is a harmless First Amendment game in which Agencies with Billions of dollars of assets and resources don't set out to murder you, your family, or at the very least put you in prison for the rest of your life -- you.  are.  wrong.

The Communists who intend to crush CONUS under mighty fist mean to do it well.

Ask Jose Guerena.  Nevermind, I'll ask him.  I'll probably meet him first.

I'm headed to Idaho very soon.  Let's see what happens.
