IIIGear, III Society & Stuff

Shoot, Move & Communicate Patches are in!

Paratrooper Bag w/
III Society Patch

Most of you know I have not been promoting IIIGear or new enrollments in the III Society since last fall.  The reason is simple: We were moving everything from the east coast to our new home, and the logistics of trying to get orders and swag shipped while engaged in that process would have been an absolute Cluster Foxtrot.  We still have not worked through all of the outstanding Society swag shipments because of our hat SNAFUs, compounded by traveling and all that goes with it.

Howevah!

We are here, the shop is up and running and orders are shipping. The TERMN-8R was a trial run of our new system, and I think everyone who ordered new radios is satisfied with how smoothly the process worked.  The radios were back out the door within 24 hours of arrival at our shop, and H sent everyone tracking numbers over the weekend.  Some of you have already rec'd your radios.  The process actually worked almost too well.  Radios were here and ready to ship before pouches and patches.  Instead of holding up the process, we chose to ship the radios, and we'll follow-on with the remainder when everything arrives.  The patches (Shoot, Move & Communicate by Zoomie) arrived today, and Condor is shipping the pouches by Friday.

Our goal is to only offer merchandise that is physically in-stock (this took some website improvements) and to ship orders within 24 hours.

So, I am happy to say IIIGear and III Society logistics are up and running to my satisfaction.    There is a sprinkling of III Society swag orders waiting to ship - some of you joined early in the process and some recently.  I am only waiting for hats at the moment, which are at the new embroiderers shop (she took last week off for Easter with her family), and I saw her this morning.  So if you are waiting for swag, I promise it's coming.  

If you have any outstanding IIIGear orders, let me know! There may be a few old orders lost in the confusion, so just give me a heads-up and we'll get you sorted out.

We have not simply been twiddling our thumbs during this process.  We have added new inventory to IIIGear, which is just waiting to be shipped once we offer it for sale.  We have awarded Training Scholarships through the Society.  We are in discussions with several III Society Members about summer & fall events.  The III Society is a large organization with many plates in the air, and while we have outstanding Advisors and Board Members, the nuts & bolts of getting widgets out the door is my responsibility. All delays are completely on me.  

PatCon is just over 3 months away - not as much time as one might think from the planning end of things.

To be very honest, H and I have too much on our plates.  This move has allowed us to put all our projects under one roof (physically, in most cases) and get a better handle on things.  It is working.  In addition to IIIGear and the Society, we'll be opening the doors to the Studio soon, which is our bill-paying vehicle. We'll get pictures of the Studio up soon (before & after the renovation images).  I know H is reaching out to those of you who supported the Studio.

My thanks to everyone who has supported us over the years, whether financially or otherwise.  I appreciate the support and the patience you have afforded us when things get a bit sticky.

Anti-Christian Behaviors through the proper Lens

Prepping Preacher reduces the anti-Christian hatred on display in Indiana and beyond to the basics: The infringement of Rightful Liberty.

That is our fight on every front of the polygon.

The litmus test is simple.  To determine if you are right or wrong on any given topic, ask yourself two simple questions.

1) Is my position infringing the other guy's Rightful Liberty?

2) Is the other guy infringing my Rightful Liberty?

If you are clear of fault on question 1, and answer in the affirmative to question 2 - the other guy is wrong.  Plain and simple.

China's New "Eastern Provinces" - from Seattle to San Diego...

Liberty For All in Washington State recently showed up and forced their State officials to take down a Red Communist flag that had been raised "...in honor of a visiting ambassador...".

First Point: Good on Liberty for All.  THAT is Leadership.  By all accounts, the decision to confront the flag issue came from within the organization, was executed by the organization, and is without any doubt a solid, serious win.  They defined their mission and completed their mission as stated.  End of story.  Well done.

Second Point: This is a much bigger topic, one that should be a concern of every Patriot in America.  Not even in Washington DC do politicians hoist Commie flags when delegations are visiting various agencies.  So as we counsel all Patriots on every issue - let's examine the premise of why the politicians and/or bureaucrats involved in the decision to fly the ChiCom flag on the grounds of the state Capitol would take such a decision.

I think the obvious speaks loudly - the people involved chose to fly the flag because they have no problem with it.  That is a political issue for the citizens of Washington State to address.  So, if the Pols/Bureaucrats have no problem flying the flag, and did so to "honor" a ChiCom Ambassador, one must consider that the people involved find the politics of the Ambassador to be "Honorable".  Once again, that is mostly a political issue for the people of Washington State to handle.

But let's climb in altitude for a better look at the geo-political landscape involved.  The west coast is the closest relevant spot we have to China.  We know the Chinese are deliberately populating the west coast, seeding it with adults and running baby mills to ensure little Chinese fuckers get American citizenship as they slide out of the womb.  We know from a tactical and strategic vantage, China would see the west coast as a beachhead in any conventional fight.  We know that the ChiComs nearly won control of Long Beach a few decades ago, facilitated by other politicians/bureaucrats who saw no problem with such a government having such a presence in SoCal.  We know they already control the Panama Canal, so if they managed to control the western seaports and the canal, America west of the Rockies would be in a LOT of trouble in a conventional ruckus.

Look at the population centers of the west coast.  From a political philosophy perspective, is there anywhere on the seacoast that would seriously object to shiploads of ChiComs arriving suddenly in every harbor - except for San Diego/Coronado?  (I mean the actual Naval Base, not the city.  The city would be fine with it...)  From Los Angeles to San Francisco to Seattle, ChiCom boots would not begin to hit any real politically-motivated challengers until they hit the Cascades in Washington and Kenny's house in Northern Cali.  In Southern Cali they wouldn't meet any resistance until, probably, somewhere in Nevada or Arizona.

Examine the premise.  Is it even remotely possible that the presence of the ChiCom flag was more than merely welcoming a single Ambassador?  Does it not signal to the ChiCom's that, at least the pols/bureaucrats in Seattle are willing to partner with them at a much more significant level than merely trade?  Does anyone truly believe that the politicians and bureaucrats in Seattle would pick up rifles to defend their citizens from "aggressive" ChiCom "friends" - or would they more likely volunteer to help administer the new "Eastern Province"?

No, I am not suggesting that the presence of the ChiCom flag was some sort of secret-squirrel signal to the ChiComs that the invasion could commence.

But I am declaring that the politicians and bureaucrats along our western seacoast would not really mind such an invasion...

Think bigger, Patriots.  American politics is about much more than American politicians merely controlling American Citizens.  If you do not believe that there is a very large majority of American politicians and bureaucrats who are willing to help fundamentally change the global political paradigm to Red - then I can't help you.

Here's the LfA piece.

Tyranny begets tyranny

I have not done any sort of research, but is my impression correct that the most egregious LEO abuse tends to come from the places with the most tyrannical .Gov and most restrictive 2A laws in place?

Here's one from Illinois.

Stay out of Illinois, folks.

There was a time when LEO behaved like Human Beings, because that's the way it was.  Then they behaved because they never knew if the guy they were stopping might be armed.  Then they behaved because they feared rebuke from the courts if they abused a Citizen.  Now, LEO doesn't fear you, their bosses, or the courts.  Look at the result.

NC PatCon - T minus One Month

One month until NC PatCon!

Registration ends in just under 2 weeks - make sure you get your name on the list with Brock.

If you can be there, you should be there, folks.  If Patriots would hold just one such event each month, across the country, you'd see the Liberty Movement begin to grow, right before your eyes.

Brock has North Carolina covered (which includes everyone east of the Mississippi, if you ask me). July is covered in the Mountain Northwest.  Who among you will do June? August? September?  It doesn't take much money, and those who attend can pass the hat and help defray any minimal costs.  But the value of such gatherings is simply not quantifiable.  If you want to see how it is done before launching one for yourself - be at Brock's place.

OpFor ComInt

Sparks31 is going to include a piece on OpFor COMINT in the debut issue of his new magazine (made of paper, folks - old-school is a goodness thing).

Signal-3 is accepting subscriptions now, with first issue coming in May.  I've subscribed, I encourage you all to do the same.

There will come a time, in our too-near future I think, when you will not be able to drop an email to guys like Sparks31 or Max and ask "Hey, what about this..."

Get what you need now.  The world is going to get very lonely, and skills will be the new currency of life.

Is it time?

"America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards." 

Believe it or not, it has been 19 years since Ms. Wolfe wrote those words.

I wonder how many Patriots have died or aged-out of front-line utility since then, waiting for "The right time..."

I wonder how close some of you think we are as we near yet another April 19th.

I contend the shooting war has already begun.  The purges have begun on a beta-level. Team Tyranny murders without concern for rebuke, every single day of the year, and the bullets are flying only one direction.  They have their lists, and as predicted, the optics drop more every single day as 2016 nears. They are running live-fire FTX's daily, with live targets.

Thus far the nearly unanimous consensus, even in the "hardcore" Liberty Movement, is that it remains "...too soon to shoot the bastards."  I say this with confidence, because, well, you aren't shooting yet and I haven't gone to the Green either.

But how close are we?  And perhaps a more ominous consideration - have we already missed the window of opportunity and are we just pissin' in the wind until it is our turn to age-out?

If you choose to comment here, please do me a favor - leave the hyperbole at Sipsey and other hollow-hero venues.  No cries of "We will not comply" while you fill out yet another 4473.  No cries of "Not one more inch" while showing up at the next rally with your properly documented semi-auto AR, with empty mags of legal capacity and zip-ties running through the chamber.

How close do you think people are to really putting down the cameras, foregoing the "fight it in court" paradigm, and answering the next "You may not do that" or "You may only do that after paying the proper tax and filling out the proper permission slips" .Gov infringement with a double-tap and Fuck You Verra Much?

Amazon 30% Off CB Gear

Folks - I'm not sure if this is a sale for everyone, or just directed at me because I have been recently searching Amazon for CBs - but I'll offer the link just in case you can use it.

Amazon, Here.

It's not an affiliate link (I'm not signed up as an affiliate).

Hope it is useful for anyone considering a CB purchase.  I notice the Uniden 520 is on the list.  That's one of my personal short-list units for truck & base.  The HomePatrol units are also on sale.

If you wash it more than once, you're playing with it...

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Gov. Jerry Brown (D-CA)  said Californians will face heavy fines for taking long showers.

Brown said, “This executive order is done under emergency power. It has the force of law."

Obviously there are several issues of interest in that very brief bit of news from the Governor of California.  We can get into the whole "Executive orders carry the force of law" tyrant-speak later.

The first question I have - How is the water regulator going to know who takes a shower of X duration?  If you do not have a meter on your shower faucet (with video to prove you were taking a shower instead of filling the dog's water bowls) - then how is Petty Functionary Mr. Doe going to equitably enforce this mandate?

The answer is, of course: "He's not."  He can't equitably enforce the mandate - so he'll selectively enforce, based upon his whim, or some arbitrary formula that attempts to establish a variation from baseline use, et cetera.

Selective enforcement is always an enemy of Liberty.  Examine the premise, in everything these fuckers do.  Eventually, you'll find the kernel of Evil hiding beneath the layers of Tyrant-Speak.

Sadly, you folks in California have a longer road to walk back toward Liberty than many of the rest of us.  But the road is the same.

We'll be addressing blogroll & links over the next few days.

No offense to friends and allies - if your blog has been inactive for a while, unless you drop me an email and request we leave the link active, it'll probably be coming down.  I don't want readers to land on dead/inactive spots.

Tiger Stripe in Evergreen Setting

Curious about your experience with Tiger Stripe patterns in high mountain regions with evergreens as the predominant foliage.

What if your neighbors behaved like DHS?

What if your neighbors started giving you the stinky eyeball whenever you shared physical space?

What if your neighbors began adopting the prevalent LEO disposition toward non-LEOs that is on display in our communities every day?

What if your neighbors began stockpiling weapons and ammo and less-lethal munitions suitable for a small army?

What if your neighbors began hardening their homes, and even purchased hardened facilities like toll booths (suitable for closing-off your neighborhood streets) and storing them in their back yard?

What if your neighbors began driving up-armored rigs?

What if your neighbors began searching your computer?

What if your neighbors began tracking your every movement?

What if your neighbors began amassing every bit of financial and social information about you, including medical?

DHS has done and continues to do each of these things.

If your neighbors did these things, would you identify them as Friend or Foe?

Would you wait until your neighbors came to your front door in a group, before you decided to take action?

Here's the latest link regarding such behavior from DHS.

The evidence is in front of our faces.  One thing we will never be able to say with any shred of legitimacy is "We didn't know..."
