After the Coup

It is the story of a concerted campaign, in which the anti-Trump media publish leaks, even criminal leaks, out of the FBI, CIA, NSA and NSC, to bring down a president whom the Beltway media and their deep-state collaborators both despise and wish to destroy.

PJB, here.

This is a question we asked on this blog months ago - 'If the Establishment & Deep State succeed in their coup against President Trump (and all of us who support his policies) - then what?'

The commentariat at places like WRSA will never, ever move to the Green.  The cradle-to-grave tax sluts (and mentally unhinged pill-poppers) on Welfare Lane, and the sniveling Quislings in Daffy's Bunker will never, ever snap at the hand that feeds them.  The militias who currently operate, God bless them all, will be snuffed like a candle in a hurricane by the bootlickers like Daffy and the Meth Dealer/pill popper.  The honey pots like Culper have already doomed hundreds of patriotic Americans.

Americans who believe in the concepts of personal Liberty, especially as articulated in the DoI, USC and BoR, are the foam on the waves at the beach - not the water.

How many people in your personal sphere truly - I mean really, literally, truly - comprehend the concept of Rightful Liberty, and will fight for it to the death?

If you know three such men, you are doing better than most Patriots.

And if those men can shoot, move and communicate - you are light-years ahead of most Patriots.

If you are honest, you will weigh that reality against a single Antifa rally at Berkeley, and understand that the fight for Rightful Liberty as a continental standard is, in all reality, lost.

That said: Better Dead than Red...

Why Liberty is Dying: "... summer protest season..."

MJ sent a good piece, here.  It discusses an evolution of tactics by some players in the 'Liberty Movement' in the Portland area.

Here's the larger problem: Fighting for Liberty is not a seasonal sport.  Nor is it a 'Hearts & Minds' campaign.

The fight for Liberty is like every other existential war ever fought: Kill your enemies, then go home.

So long as 'Patriots' continue to 'work-in' a protest between beach visits and keggers, there is no 'Liberty Movement'.

What if George Washington had decided to wait until spring to kill Hessians?

Duh: Ingraham on Republicans: 'A lot of them don't want Donald Trump to succeed'

We've been saying this since February.

Obstructionists in the Establishment Republican party are more to blame than are the Democrats for every campaign promise made by President Trump that has not yet been delivered.

It's a coup - and we've been saying that since February as well.

Here's the link to the piece (I'm still blocked by Fox, so you'll have to copy/paste): http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/08/02/ingraham-on-republicans-lot-them-dont-want-donald-trump-to-succeed.html

The sooner the 'Conservative Elite' grasp the notion that the republic is currently at war with itself, the better.

Fair Warning...

If you advocate or execute or facilitate the infringement of another person’s Natural Rightful Liberty, you need to stop, you need to leave, or you need to die.

Do you understand?

RE-POST: 300 yard Self Defense

.308 Vanquish.  Mrs. K prefers the custom 16" barrel...

A significant portion of the library - old posts - that live here at the III blog are linked each year across the net.  This post has had a fair bit of attention over the last few months - so here it is once again.

I hope you find it useful.

~~

I've rec'd a few emails regarding my "...300 yard self defense..." post below.

I've covered this philosophy in the past, many times, but I have a much larger audience every month (including a percentage of Marxist garbage who seem to think I need to be monitored), so I'll explain the Kerodin Self Defense Doctrine once more.

When a man lays his hands upon you without invitation with the intent of subjugation or harm, he has clearly violated every tenet of civilized society, and I reserve the Right, under Natural Law to defend myself.  For the record, I do NOT subscribe to the theory of Proportional Response.  If you put your hands upon me with what I perceive to be the intent to subjugate or harm me, you'll be very lucky if I permit you to have your arm back at all.  If I choose to let you keep it, it will rattle like a sack of rocks, because I will break every bone in that meat sack in several places.  I may simply choose to put your elbow in your ear.  Then again, given many variables (not the least of which is my mood at the time) I may simply keep your arm and have it mounted over my fireplace as a trophy.

What of the man who declares his intent to lay hands upon you, but has not yet done so?  This is where a portion of my readers part ways with my personal philosophy.  Many readers believe that until that man makes a direct, physical move to lay-on hands, I am morally restrained from taking action.  I say this with absolute respect for those of you who take that position: I reject it.

If I know a man means me harm and has the potential to accomplish his attack, I believe I remain firmly on the Moral High Ground of Self Defense to go find him and hit him firstest with the mostest with everything I've got until that threat is eliminated - forever.  I may get him to change his mind by simply using my words.  I may have to dismiss words and have a more direct conversation.  He may be the sort who will simply heal up and then come at me again - I have no moral obligation to let that happen.  So, if I think the only solution is to ensure he simply cannot ever lay hands upon me is to break his arms in a dozen places - each arm - so that they will never heal into a useful threat, I reserve the Right, under Natural Law, to do so.  I may use my own hands to do the damage, or I may use a claw hammer.  If I think the only way to eliminate the threat of harm this man has stated he intends to inflict upon me is to make him disappear - I reserve that Right.  I have no moral obligation to wait if I believe his threat is legitimate.  I have no moral obligation to wait until he tries to put me on a cattle car toward the re-education camp.  I can take the initiative and go to his place, or surprise him at Starbucks, and go to work, and I maintain that this remains in the realm of Self Defense.

If I know, through Intel, that men intend to come to my home and subjugate me or harm me, I maintain that I remain on the Moral High Ground of legitimate Self Defense to not be at home, to Flank & Spank (TM) them when they deploy at my property, or engage them before they reach my property, or to go to their place of work and engage them without warning, or to go to their homes and make sure they do not go to work - ever again.  I am under no moral obligation to let someone try to harm me.

Now let's consider our Police State.  If I am targeted simply because I am a Constitutionalist and I know men with badges and guns intend to confront me (this goes for the full-blown Stack as well as the Lone Wolf cop with an attitude problem who follows me and my wife all around town and into the local grocery store - you know who you are, and more importantly, I know who you are - and just for clarity: I am NOT talking about any member of the Sheriff's department) I believe I remain on the Moral High Ground of Self Defense to counter-attack, first.  That's probably an oxymoron.  But you get my meaning.  I am under no moral obligation to let a Stack corner me without cause in my home, and I am under no moral obligation to tolerate a local LEO who engages in stalking behavior, who may simply be waiting for the "right moment" to confront me with nefarious intent.  I reserve the Right under Natural Law (my Rights to Life and Liberty as articulated in the DoI) to ensure that my wife is not caught in a crossfire or is forced to watch her husband be gunned down on a dark roadside just because some thug in a uniform doesn't like my position on LEO.

Now, specifically to my query about a Self Defense load in .308 for ranges of 300 yards or fewer.  My wife is under no moral obligation to let a known Bad Guy with known bad intent to get within handgun range or buckle-to-buckle range.  I believe she maintains the Moral High Ground of Self Defense to proactively defend herself, if needed against a known threat, at rifle range. 

Here's where I lose even more people:  What of the clerk in the Courthouse who types up the warrant based solely on my "crime" of being a Constitutionalist, which some Enemy of Liberty has determined to be an "Extremist" or "Terrorist"?  What of the Legislator who writes or votes for the law (such as NDAA or Patriot Act) that makes such a warrant "Legal"?  What of those players behind the scenes who sanction or facilitate the imminent use of force against me?  What about the Prosecutor who will use the law as a weapon to subjugate or harm me for the "crimes" listed in Patriot or NDAA?  What of the men and women who accept a State paycheck who work as jailers who will keep me locked in a cage?  I maintain that I remain on the Moral High Ground of Self Defense to neutralize the threat of imminent force against me, imminent harm or subjugation against me, extending to those people who put the wheels in motion and those people who facilitate those wheels.

And what of my neighbor who votes for the politicians who make such acts "Legal"?  Are they not responsible for the harm that is coming my way?  I maintain I remain on the Moral High Ground of Self Defense to backfist my neighbor who votes for politicians who pass legislation that takes bread from my table and makes it "Legal" for force to be used against me for malum prohibitum crimes.  Bringing their attacks upon me to an end is within my Rights.  I am under no moral obligation to sit idly by and permit my neighbors to cause me injury or hardship through proxies who seek to impose infringements upon my Natural Rights.

Finally, what of those people who write words (or speak words) that place my myself or my wife in Harm's Way, in physical jeopardy, such as the recent Nation article or local papers that print SPLC (or other) hit pieces without basis in fact that attempt to inflame local hatred, thus creating an atmosphere of aggression toward me with no regard for the safety of the people about whom they write, because they have no intention of ever permitting facts to get in the way of an agenda-driven, sensationalist piece to sell newspapers or other media?  I maintain that I remain firmly on the Moral High Ground of Self Defense to challenge those people until they stop making my world unsafe.

Individual Human Beings are responsible for the actions they take, for the words they write or allow to be published, and for the words they speak.  If those words lead to the potential for harm, it is a matter of legitimate Self Defense to take action to end those threats.  And don't give me any crap about 1A.  The First Amendment is a prohibition of Government to restrict speech - I am under no moral obligation as a private Citizen or as a Human Being, to tolerate people who create an environment of jeapordy by writing or speaking.  They do NOT get 1A protection from me. 

Lest you think me a hypocrite: I know that what I write exposes Liberals, Leftists, Marxists and Collectivists of all stripes, and other genetic waste to the potential of being reviled by their neighbors.  Fugg'em.  Liberals, Leftists and Marxists have no place in America, which is a country founded upon individual Liberty.  If you seek to infringe the individual Liberty of my Countrymen, you deserve to be punched in the nose.  You deserve to know how your own blood tastes in your mouth from a backfist delivered by a Patriot.  You deserve to be run out of this country if you will not cease and desist in your attempts to infringe the personal Liberty of Americans.  And if you think MY words and actions are a threat to you, I invite you to come find me, and get some.  I'm not hard to find, and I don't run.

Infringing individual Liberty is NOT a "Legitimate political difference of opinion..."  It is Treason, even if you do not use a rifle to seek your goals.  It is the waging of war upon the Constitution and We the People of the United States of America.

It is an attempt to undermine our Founding Principles.  It is an attempt to destroy the bedrock that is American Liberty.  It is an attempt to impose slavery upon Freemen.  It is an attempt to elevate yourself to the position of Master over your neighbors. 

That is NOT acceptable behavior in America.  By definition, that is un-American.  By definition, Americans are never forced to bend knee in deference to any man - be he King or President or neighbor.

Cease and desist, or we who intend to be Free and at Liberty are upon the Moral High Ground of Self Defense when we move to make you stop.

That is the Kerodin Self Defense Doctrine.

Strategy and Tactics will be detailed later.  Maybe with my words.  Maybe with action.  We shall see.

RE-POST: Gut Check, please...

I posted this about 4 years ago.  I'm re-posting now so you can grasp just how weak-kneed the silliest circle-jerkers in the 'Liberty blogosphere' are as they continue to remain in the safety of blog posts.  They will never move to contact.  All talk.  Of course, they still rant and rave about their heroics that will come - one day.  Meh.

btw - I don't offer the nooses online any longer.  But if you need one tied, send me the rope and I'll return it to you, ready for your next caper... 

~~

So, I made a noose and hot-branded it with the III.  It is available on the right side of the blog.  I hope people will help support III projects by buying a few and using them at your next 2A rally, Tea Party event, or other public protest - personally I think it speaks better than any sign you could carry at a protest.  (Proceeds go to furthering III projects) 

What happened next was very interesting.  Some men got it.  Others, however, immediately began pulling Robespierre and the Reign of Terror out of their arses.  Oh yes, that is very, very interesting.

Let's start at the beginning: Tories were bad.  They are the same breed as those Marxist meddling f*cktards of today who I call Enemies of Liberty, for they not only advocate infringements of your Liberty, but take actions (including voting) to physically infringe your Natural Rights, either directly or via proxy.  They are Bad People.

In America, hanging Enemies of Liberty is a time-honored remedy for handling Bad People.

A man named Charles Lynch started hanging people for Tory acts during the Revolution.  He understood that when vermin insist on being in your life, you are morally entitled to be rid of that vermin.  You are under no moral obligation to tolerate a man who seeks your subjugation.  Most of us, myself included, would hold that lynching (or other fatal remedies) are not acceptable as first recourse.  I hold that you must warn Bad People to stop.  You are only obligated to use your words one time.  If they insist, then you should try to run them off.  If they continue to insist, under the corn they go.

Being a Tory during and after the Revolution was a bad life choice.  Many were stripped of their property and allowed to leave the country.  Many went to Canada and the Caribbean.  Some were tarred and feathered.  Some were beaten to death.  Some were hung.  Some were shot.  Interfering with the Natural Rights of a man is serious business, as my uncle would say.  Some of us take that sh*t at face value, and do not appreciate it.  If you behave in such a manner, please don't be shocked when you get back-fisted or killed for your meddling.

Anyway - some people have started wetting their panties because I tied a noose and branded it with the III.  "Too far!" they seem to posit.  Many jumped immediately to Robespierre and drawing similarities to the French Revolution and Reign of Terror.  Now in some cases I understand - some of these people jumped there because they have been told that Kerodin likes to advocate murdering puppies, unicorns, babies, baby unicorns, innocent women and others.  Of course that is silly.  But some other people seem to be sincere in their opinion that a noose sends the wrong message.

Yet, most of these same people type - incessantly - on our blogs about how they will blast holes in any Stack that comes to their house and how politicians deserve to be hung from lamp posts in DC.

Hypocrisy much?

First order of business: Regardless of how tough your fellow Patriots posture online about being there "...when SHTF...", anyone who starts hitting the brakes when they see a PICTURE of a noose should probably make your B list of likely allies.  The odds they will actually nut-up and show-up on D-Day are minimal.  Second order of business: Faced with the outcry of "Foul!" from inside the Patriot Community over the PICTURE of a noose is a clue that you should probably adjust your math downward when considering how many people are serious about picking up a rifle and doing the work of Liberty Restoration, and those who will find a reason they can't be there on that day.  (I'd like to be there, guys - but it's laundry day and my kid is studying for SAT's, and I need to help!)

At the risk of really upsetting some folks: Robespierre wasn't wrong in this: Killing political enemies, if those enemies are genuinely Enemies of Liberty, is not a moral crime.  Sorry to any weak-kneed "Patriots" reading this, but our very birth as a nation was predicated on that premise.  The King's Men who actively worked to impose the King's infringements upon Colonial Liberty had to go, one way or another.  Our Founders asked them to stop.  Then they told them to stop.  Then they pushed and skirmished.  Then - they killed them.

Reality is a bitch if you don't have the stomach to cut through your romantic revisionist delusions.

Do you even know what human blood smells like when you get it on your hands from another person?  Freedom isn't free.  It is usually messy.  It smells.  You may vomit.  You may tremble uncontrollably.  It isn't sanitary, and it surely isn't the way Hollywood would have you believe.

You make men who intend to enslave you stop their behavior, leave, or you kill them.

By any means necessary.

You commit no malum in se crimes against genuine innocents, to protect your Soul.

But you either make your enemies stop, leave, or dead...

...or you bend knee to them.

There is no middle ground.  Hand-wringers please self-identify and find a bench to sit this one out.  Real men have work to do.

Kerodin

Greg Burleson: Life in Prison for Facebook Posts – Bunkerville

This is one of the reasons why punks and pussies like Daffy Dodge publicly assault and insult the brave men and women who dare claim the title of 'Militiaman' - and instead invoke milquetoast labels such as 'Survivalist'.

Because they do not have the spine to stand in Harm's Way.  They will never risk their .gov servitude and enrichments for Liberty or Freedom.  Without their .gov paychecks and welfare checks, the vast majority of online 'Patriots' couldn't feed themselves, much less stand for principles they have already betrayed openly and publicly.

Pig Farmers, fake 'Patriots' like Daffy and everyone else living on Welfare Lane all suckle their daily nourishment - literally - from the .gov tit - tit that is filled with the coerced and stolen money from real Americans.  These people will never truly stand and challenge the hand that feeds them.  

Here's the piece on Burleson.

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

Is Trump Entering a Kill Box?

Every enemy of Trump is going to be dropping the dime on him to Mueller. Moreover, there is no history of special counsels being appointed and applauded by the press, who went home without taking scalps.

Trump understands this. Reports of his frustration and rage suggest that he knows he has been maneuvered, partly by his own mistakes, into a kill box from which there may be no bloodless exit.

More here.

One of my recurring failings in life is an unjustified confidence in the base decency of Man.  I keep expecting it to reveal itself - somewhere.  

In the Mueller investigation, which should already be over with a report to Congress that there was no 'collusion', we see an ever-expanding scope of inquiry.  We are watching the long-held understanding that '...if they want you, they will find something and get you...'  - the Mueller Team is now in hunt mode to find anything for a single purpose - make President Trump impotent, by any means necessary.

We are watching the American version of the modern Coup.

Even if the President 'survives' and avoids impeachment, his ability to accomplish his campaign goals is no longer feasible.  The 'Establishment' won't even repeal ObamaCare - an act in their own political self-interests - because doing so would empower the President. They will not fund the wall beyond token measures.  They are waiting for the next election, when even if Trump/Pence win, the Dem wing of the Establishment will take the House or Senate to finalize the obstructionist goal of the swamp.

The only question remaining: How will America First Patriots respond to the undeniable, fully-on-display reality that the ballot box has been stolen from them by evil men who mean to be Masters...
