Announcement

On my primary blog I have made an announcement:

As I write this a full moon is setting to the west.

A friend recently suggested that I stand for the office of President of the United States.  After giving the concept some thought I have decided to do so.

My fundamental goal as President will be to restore complete compliance of the Federal Government to the Constitution and the complete sovereignty of our nation with respect to the transnational order.

And I fully look forward to interaction with the Fourth Estate:

Reporter: Mr. Bates, how do you as a Christian Conservative justify your opposition to Social Justice?

Candidate LB: Good question.  Have you thought of asking an actual Christian Conservative?

Reporter: What?

Candidate LB: I stopped believing in the Western Monotheist Tradition over four decades ago.  I have made no secret of my disbelief since that time.  Even when I enlisted in the United States Army during the administration of President Ronald Reagan.

In light of this answer the reporter would have to engage in actual thought in order to respond.

Regardless of the outcome I fully expect to have fun.   

I have not had this level of emotional uplift since I uploaded the first issue of The Resister on the talk.politics.guns newsgroup and every bulletin board I could log on to.

This will be one Hell of a run.

Thought For The Day

The first time I heard the term “dickhead” was during infantry basic training at Fort Benning. At the time I identified it as a distinctly Army term for a distinctly Army phenomena. An example of a dickhead is Lieutenant Colonel Robert Bateman, someone who clearly does not understand the United States Constitution and his role and limitations as a commissioned officer.

In an opinion piece published in Esquire [LINK HERE] he clearly demonstrates his ignorance of the proper meaning of the Second Amendment and declares his willingness to obey orders to murder American Citizens:

We will pry your gun from your cold, dead, fingers.

Really?

No.

What Bateman as a REMF* academic who has failed to understand is that the Second Amendment is not about sporting use or even self defense against violent criminals. The Second Amendment is an integral component of the Bill of Rights, which in turn clearly defines the relationship between the People of the United States and the Federal Government. The People are the political authority of the nation. And the Federal Government serves The People.**

A very fundamental failure on the part of Bateman is his apparent belief that his subordinates will simply follow orders without thought. The fact is that American soldiers do think. And they do act on the facts of reality they have identified. Alvin York and Audie Murphy did not receive the Medal of Honor for simply following orders. Both men identified the actions that were necessary on the field of battle and carried them out.

If Bateman, a socialist in our uniform, were to issue the order the real soldiers will identify him as a traitor and murderer and air him out.

I prefer one round in the head in the old Soviet style for that sort of action.


*. Rear Echelon Mother Fucker. Another distinctly military term.

**. Or we could say that The People rule and the government drools.

Dead Savage

Ayn Rand was once asked if it was better to submit to Communism or to die.  She answered that it was to better to see the Reds dead.

I had to completely agree.

It has come to my attention that a famous Communist Stooge and all around waste of matter and energy has finally descended to ambient temperature.  Of course The Big Zero will shortly release a statement about how he -- the occupant of the White House -- was so utterly wonderful.  As The Big Zero has clearly demonstrated, the idea that anyone could achieve anything is completely alien to him.

If by reading this you have concluded that I’m using this opportunity to show off my skill at writing sarcasm, you’re right.

The Communist Stooge only reached ambient temperature not because of the life support system that he was privileged to be hooked up to, but because the last real government of the Republic of South Africa failed to do it’s job.  The fact was that the Communist Stooge was an enemy of Civilization and Humanity in General.  The Communist Stooge should have been put to death upon identification. 

Instead he was imprisoned.  While in prison the Communist Stooge carried out a campaign of coercion through guilt with the tactic of the hunger strike.  Again the government failed to properly correct the situation.  At the start of the hunger strike the Communist Stooge should have been executed.  Thus ending the otherwise pathetic attempt at coercion.

Instead the Communist Stooge became a celebrated cause for useless idiots around the world.  The sale of military equipment needed to fight the ongoing Communist insurgency and other forms of lawful trade were embargoed by the United Nations Organization.  To the everlasting shame of our nation the United States Government participated in the embargo of the Republic of South Africa. 

When the last real government fell to savages the Communist Stooge was granted power that he was neither entitled to nor fit to exercise. 

At this point some readers would conclude that I’m a racist.

Yes.

I am a member of the Human Race.  As such I will not submit to the rule of a mindless racially based mob simply on the base of a majority vote.  Reality is real and no number of ballots will ever change that.  Solidarity to what are actually sub-groups within the Human Race is a clear rejection of reason and is not a valid option.

What are your questions on this block of instruction?

UPDATE 0145 CST:

David Horowitz has his own view of the Communist Stooge.  He's not nice about it.

Question Of The Day

Why is the United States Army and Marine Corps still deployed in Afghanistan?

It's very clear to a rational observer that The Big Zero is sympathetic to Islam.  And that he is very sympathetic to the most consistent practitioners, and thus murderous believers, of this clearly false religion.  There is simply no point in continuing this operation.

 A possible answer is that a Soldier or Marine deployed anywhere outside the continental United States (CONUS) will not be able to uphold his oath of enlistment and participate in the overthrow of the current Neo-Communist regime.  A Soldier or Marine who is isolated in Afghanistan would simply be stuck in place, unable to intervene.  This is particularly true in the cast of members of elite formations such as the Special Forces.  The Special Forces Underground was established under the less tyrannical conditions of the Clinton Administration.  I would not at all be surprised if a similar organization was in place at this very moment.

(And if it is, they would not contact me as I should have been under surveillance for nearly two decades, now.)

The fact of the matter is that The Big Zero does not trust anyone in the Armed Forces.  The ongoing purge of flag and general officers and the complete disarmament of personnel on base and on duty is a clear indication of this.

(Seriously?  Removing bolts from rifles while on parade?  Paranoid are we, Zero?)

What are your questions on this?

Munich II

I could start out by quoting George Santayana, but those of us who actually perceive and think already know the statement.

History is being repeated and we are condemned to witness it.

The fundamental problem with Barack Obama and those who aid and support him is that they see themselves as exempt from the reality that we perceive and understand.  The history of errors made by the Progressive movement is absolutely meaningless to them.  The wave of destruction and the death toll is completely blanked out.

Because of his deliberate inattention to history the sitting president had decided to repeat one of the greatest blunders of the last century.  The Munich Agreement of 1938 allowed a totalitarian state to proceed with their program of empowerment and aggression.  This in turn would lead to the most devastating war in recorded history.  The current agreement with Iran will allow the Iranian state to construct nuclear weapons and use them in their program of aggression.  This in turn will result in a far more devastating world war fought with chemical and nuclear weapons.

And there may not be someone left alive to record the history.

This Is Not A Game

There will be a day when the true believers in African Racial Collectivism will look back on the present day as a golden age when the adherents of their doctrine could literally get away with murder.  That is the murder of any one who is not part of their racial collective.

This is not a new phenomena.  The original Ku Klux Klan, the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party, rode about the South to murder Blacks and those Whites who were deemed to be traitors to the race.  Likewise the uniformed terrorist arm of the National Socialists went about attacking Jews and those deemed to be insufficiently Aryan.  Once in complete power over their nation and most of Europe the National Socialists proceeded to practice murder as an industrial process.

Even though there was an economic objective for the concentration camps the primary goal of the Holocaust was essentially spiritual.  The elimination of The Other, the extermination of those outside the Aryan Racial Collective.

A disturbing phenomena, which our present Mainstream Media refuses to report, is growing number of deliberate assaults by gangs of young Blacks against those persons who are not part of the African Racial Collective.  And there is special emphasis on attacking Jews in this series of attacks.

They call it the Knockout Game.

As with their Aryan precursors, African Racial Collective has developed a cultural contempt for The Other.  Those who are not identified as members of the collective are deemed to be nonhuman as thus subject to attack.  The Other, the Non-Africans, are simply attacked for the thrill of it with no material gains to be had.  Non-Africans are hunted and assaulted as if they were members of a non-sentient game species.

Given the African Racial Collective has begun to adopt National Socialist behavior it comes to no surprise that some of them are identified and treated as such.  Some victims have responded with deadly force and have wounded or killed some perpetrators.

As with the German National Socialists before them the African Racial Collective now has a martyr for their cause.  As with Horst Wessel of the NSDAP in Germany, the African Racial collectivists here in the United States have declared Trayvon Martin to be a martyr.  And their de-facto Marxist political overseers are backing them with the full posture of moral  righteousness.  But the posture of righteousness is not identical with simply being right.

The African Racial Collectivists and their backers are not only placing themselves in opposition to reality they have placed themselves in opposition to us who live by reason in reality.

I would expect them to fully pay the natural and proper penalty.

If the adherents of African Racial Collectivism continue to behave as old school National Socialists then we, Humanity in General, will have no morally valid alternative but to identify and treat them as such.

From the neck, in the Nuremberg style, of course

What are your question on this block of instruction?

Democracy In Action

Are you sitting comfortably?

Good. 

Now read the article at the following link.

[LINK HERE]

Have you calmed down yet?

Good.

The fundamental problem with the concept of Democracy is that there is no inherent restriction on the power of the state.  What the majority decides becomes the act of the Democratic State.  And if the majority decides that you must die then the Democratic State will kill you.  To govern is to exercise control over the social use of force.  But in the Democratic State there is no control.  There is no restraint on the exercise of power.  Anything literally goes.

Or, to put it another way, it really sucked to be Socrates in the Democratic State of Athens.

Because of this the Founders of the United States rejected the concept of the Democratic State in favor of a Constitutional Republic.  This was a form of government that clearly defined the powers granted to it and outlawed the exercise of powers not granted to it.

As you have seen in the article The Constitution is no longer in effect.  The nation and California in particular have degenerated into democratic states exercising unrestrained power. 

Although the action in San Rafael appears to be a trivial annoyance where no one died, the Federal actions at Ruby Ridge and Waco clearly were the exercise of unrestrained force.

It is only a matter of time before someone else needlessly dies.

What are your questions on this block of instruction?

How To Master Secret Work

This was donated by an anonymous poster.  --LB

HOW TO MASTER SECRET WORK


1. INTRODUCTION

This is a pamphlet about the role of secrecy in solving the tasks of the Revolution. Secrecy gives us protection by starving the enemy of information about us. Secrecy helps us build a strong revolutionary movement to overthrow the enemy.

There is nothing sinister about using secret methods to help win freedom. Through the ages the ruling classes have made it as difficult as possible for the oppressed people to gain freedom. The oppressors use the most cruel and sinister methods to stay in power. They use unjust laws to ban, banish, imprison and execute their opponents. They use secret police, soldiers, spies and informers against the people's movements. But the people know how to fight back and how to use secret methods of work.


Secrecy has Helped us Outwit the Enemy:

The enemy tries to give the impression that it is impossible to carry out illegal work. The rulers boast about all our people they have killed or captured. They point to the freedom fighters locked up in the prisons. But a lot of that talk is sheer bluff. Of course it is impossible to wage a struggle without losses. The very fact, however, that the South African Communist Party and African National Congress have survived years of illegality is proof that the regime cannot stop our noble work. It is because we have been mastering secret work that we have been able, more and more, to outwit the enemy.

Discipline, Vigilance and Self-Control:

Secret methods are based on common sense and experience. But they must be mastered like an art. Discipline, vigilance and self-control are required. A resistance organizer in Nazi-occupied France who was never captured said this was because he `never used the telephone and never went to public places like bars, restaurants and post offices'. He was living a totally underground life. But even those members of a secret movement who have a legal existence must display the qualities we have referred to.

Study and Apply the Rules of Secrecy:

Most people know from films and books that secret work involves the use of codes, passwords, safe houses and hiding places. Activists must study the rules of secrecy and apply them seriously. This enables us to build up secret organizations linked to the people. This secret network becomes a vital force in helping to lead the people in the struggle for power. In our series we will discuss such topics as:

How to set up a secret network;
The rules of secrecy;
How to overcome surveillance (i.e. observation);
Secret forms of communication;
Technical Methods such as secret writing, hiding places etc.;
How to behave under interrogation (i.e. when being questioned by the enemy).

These are among the main elements of secret work.

To organize in secret is not easy, but remember: The most difficult work is the most noble!


 SETTING UP A SECRET NETWORK

We have said that secret work helps us overcome the problems created by the enemy. This helps in the vital task of building an underground organization or secret network. The network must lead the people in the struggle for power. It does not compete with the progressive legal organizations but reinforces them. Let us look at some of the main measures involved:

Only serious and reliable people can be included in the secret network. The leaders must study the potential recruits very carefully. They are looking for people who are politically clean, determined, disciplined, honest and sober. People who can keep a secret. People who are brave and capable of defying the enemy even if captured.
Recruits are organized into a unit or cell of three or four people. The number is limited in case of failure or arrest. The cell leader is the most experienced person. The cell members must not know the other members of the network.
Only the cell leader knows and is in contact with a more senior member of the network. This senior contact gives instructions from the leadership and receives reports.
A small committee of the most experienced people leads the network. This is a leadership cell of two or three persons. This cell might be in charge of a factory, location, township or city. A city network takes the form of a pyramid. The city underground committee is at the top. Local cells are at the base. Middle command cells are in between. Start with one cell. Gain experience before building more. (diagram 1)
A rule of secret work is that members must know only that which is necessary to fulfill their tasks. Everyone, from top to bottom, must have good cover stories to protect them. This is a legend or story which hides or camouflages the real work being done. For example: a secret meeting in a park is made to look like a chance meeting between friends. If they are ever questioned they give the legend that they simply bumped into each other and had a discussion about football.
All members of the network are given code names. These conceal their real identities. They must have good identification documents. Especially those living an illegal life. A lot of time and effort must be given to creating good legends to protect our people. There is nothing that arouses suspicion as much as a stranger who has no good reason for being around.
All illegal documents, literature, reports and weapons (when not in use) must be carefully hidden. Special hiding places must be built. Codes must be used in reports to conceal sensitive names and information.
The leaders must see that all members are trained in the rules and methods of secret work . It is only through this training that they will develop the skills to outwit the enemy.
Technical methods such as the use of invisible writing, codes and disguise must be mastered. Counter-surveillance methods which help check whether one is being watched by the enemy must be known. Secret forms of communicating between our people must be studied and used. This is all part of the training. These methods will be dealt with later.
Specialization: Once the network has been developed some cells should specialize in different tasks such as propaganda, sabotage, combat work, mass work, factory organization etc.

In the meantime you can start putting into practice some of the points already dealt with. Begin to work out legends in your work. What innocent reason can you give if a friend or a policeman finds this journal in your possession?

On Assassination

Yesterday I posted the following on my primary blog:

The fact is that the assassination of a significant political figure is essentially a suicide mission. The term assassin is derived from the Islamic cult of the Assassins.  A group whose members were induced into performing suicide missions through the use of hashish.

Even though more than sufficient grounds have been provided for a seizure of the Federal Government by force it will not happen because those who can do so understand that Barack Obama is not the cause of the problem, he is merely the symptom.  The actual problem is the subculture holds the rights of individuals in contempt and is willing to use force to reach their goals.  A single assassination will not solve this problem.

Though there is no shortage of trained individuals who are able to carry out the mission it will not happen because we who have the necessary skills understand that it would be futile.  If Barack Obama were assassinated it will be the result of someone who identified him as insufficiently Marxist or Islamic in action.

I basically explained why an act of assassination would not come from the Conservative or Libertarian Right.  If it did happen it would be from a former supporter or an inside job.

The quoted text was part of an article I submitted to an Objectivist mailing list.  The owner of the list rejected the post and said this:

Even to write about why you *won't* assassinate the President is both inappropriate and likely to bring the FBI down on you.

Okay.  Perhaps it is inappropriate for a philosophical forum. 

I responded:

Sir,

I understand your point.  But I've been tempting fate and the FBI for about two decades now.  I've posted The Resister online and contributed to it.  And I've stopped believing that the failure of the Feds to act is due to an affirmative action diversity hire failing to do her job.

But then perhaps I've been insufficiently provocative.

The fact of the matter is that I openly stated that His Imperial Majesty The President of the United States is not worth the effort and hazard of removing by lethal force.

He's not worth the bullet.

Ancient News

Back in April of 1994 when we still used dial up modems and held discussions in USENET newsgroups someone named Carol posted the following about The Resister on TALK.POLITICS.GUNS:

hold on there! before anybody subscribes, READ one of these things. i mean, the ENTIRE thing. i've read four or five over the last year and it all seems ok for a time. get way down into the guts of the thing and you start finding racial/racist crap.

I immediately replied:

Gee-Gosh-Wow "carol!" Could you *please* explain to us how you managed to read "four or five" issues "over the last year" of a newsletter that only been in print for *nine* months when I am still eagerly awaiting my grey copy of the fourth issue?

BTW, what is the number of your CPUSA membership card?

There is only one race on this planet -- THE HUMAN RACE.

A tribal collectivist -- be he a member of the Black congressional Caucus or of the National Socialist German Workers Party -- is someone who treats his particular ethnic heritage as an license to subjugate, plunder, and massacre anyone who is not part of his collective.

Tribal collectivists claim that they are exempt from the rules of civilized society. Let us take they at their word and cast them out of civilization and into the garbage dump of history.

Carol did not reply. But an idiot from Canada did:

She has better mail service than you?

Is it a monthly or bi-monthly set-up? If so, then 9 months will, in fact produce "four or five issues"...

What the HELL are you blathering about?! She's SLAMMING it for racism! You know, using a "particular ethnic heritage as a[n] license to subjugate plunder and massacre anyone who is not part of his collective"? Read the whole post before you go ballistic. You'll look like less of a clot...

As you can see, this idiot with delusions of mental superiority was not paying attention.

I responded:

Here are some clues *tovarish*:

1. I quoted the WHOLE post.

2. Since the "stupid cow" (as one of my friends called her) didn't give a specific citation for her accusation I assumed that the criticism (to put it politely) of the Black Congressional Caucus was one of the points that she was referring to. The RESISTER also condemns mandatory racial discrimination A.K.A "affirmative action."

3. The RESISTER is a quarterly newsletter. I am a subscriber. I am also the person responsible for posting the ASCII text of each issue on t.p.g. I receive e-mail and phone calls from people who believe that I actually have contact with the Special Forces Underground.

I once received a call from Tim Kern, a radio talk show host from Colorado (his program is syndicated by the USA Patriot Network, M-F 0500-0700 MT on Galaxy 6, Transponder 14, Audio 5.8 wideband) asking me if I could put him in touch with the SFU. Needless to say, I couldn't.

4. CPUSA = Communist Party USA.

5. *GEE-GOSH-WOW* Comrade Don!!! If you didn't sleep through classes you might know that *Racial Polylogism* was a distinguishing characteristic of the dogma of German National Socialism. That *Aryan Logic* told them that they were the MASTER RACE and that they could do anything they bloody well wanted to members of all other races. Any objections raised were dismissed as non-Aryan (English, Jewish, etc.) logic and thus were not binding upon themselves.

*Der Afrikanererstaznazis* of the Black Caucus refuse to accept the fact that chattel slavery was perpetrated by both Whites and Blacks. Blacks in Africa would raid neighboring tribes and sell their prisoners to White and Arab slave traders.

Instead, Black tribal collectivists choose to treat chattel slavery as the act of the "White Race" inflicted upon the "Black Race." treating this as a blank check to gain plunder and favors at the expense of non-blacks. Ignoring of course the fact that price for the sin of chattel slavery has already been paid -- IN BLOOD.

Unfortunately the vile institution of slavery was not destroyed but was instead nationalized. The program of the Democratic Party since the reign of Woodrow Wilson has been to inflict the German form of socialism (begun under Otto Von Bismarck and taken to its ultimate conclusion under Hitler) upon America. Hitler called his doctrine "Marxism without the Talmudic frills." What we have under the Clintonistas is National Socialism without the Aryan frills.

The dumb as a brick Marxists are still out there.

An Idea

I'll start by showing two photos I took with the laptop camera.





I regret that the photos were taken under less than ideal conditions but the rust spots are visible.

The photos are of a magazine for a Norinco AK-47 chambered in the 5.56 x 45 mm NATO cartridge. I purchased the weapon and magazines while preparing for an insurrection during the Clinton Administration. I could have bought a standard AK-47 but chose this particular weapon because if I lived long enough I could use captured ammunition without changing to a captured M16 series weapon. As a result of my experience in the US Army I was not a fan of the M16A1 or any related weapon.

So how did this magazine come to be in such an awful condition?

Two years ago I was a cab driver struggling to make enough to cover the extortion payments levied by our so-called state and federal governments. I went to bed and about a month later I was hospitalized for pneumonia and had a heart attack resulting in anoxia and brain damage. I was not expected to live. At this time my mother and one of my brothers cleared out my apartment. One of the things that happened during this process was that my business records for driving a cab were thrown out. Fortunately my mother took my weapons into storage at her home. But the brother took the web gear with loaded magazines and stored them in his garage. As a result the web gear became moldy and the magazines rusted.

A real citizen should have known better than to do this.

I was beyond the state of anger when I saw the magazines. My brother had acted out of ignorance, as if he were a dog that had defecated on a valuable antique rug.

One of the facts of the matter was that I had not read in any member of my family on the full extent of my political activities including my connection to the Special Forces Underground and The Resister. But allowing rifle magazines to rust is simply inexcusable.

One of the ideas that has been rattling about in the remnant of my brain is that a mere warm body should not exercise political authority. I acquired this thought from reading Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein about a decade before picking up anything written by Ayn Rand. The fact is that all forms of authority are based on knowledge and political authority is no exception.

But in the present system political authority is granted to any warm body without regard to their the actual state of knowledge. As a result some warm bodies have traded their votes for a material object such as an IPad or a wad of cash. Or worse they have traded their votes for the warm and fuzzy feeling of having been compassionate.

The result is out present state of our nation. Those who lack knowledge or simple concern for consequences should not have authority over another person, let alone the fate of a nation.

Heinlein's proposed solution to the problem is relatively easy to look up for yourself. Or you can purchase a copy of Starship Troopers from Ace Books.

My solution to the problem is simply proper education in the obligations of citizenship.

The course would be similar to a driver education course as presently taught. The first part of the class covers The Constitution, the proper functions of each branch of government, the function of each clause and amendment, the duties of the citizen as the sovereign authority of the nation, and what happened when the Federal Government was allowed to enter the failure mode.

The second part of the course covers the function and use of the instrument of political authority, the personal weapon. This covers rifle marksmanship and maintenance. Also covered is the basic organization and tactics of the citizen militia unit.

While the citizenship course will not be mandatory, completion and a passing grade will be required to exercise the authority to vote.

What are your questions on this block of instruction?

Politically Correct Nonsense

David Hall, a friend of mine, sent me the following message. it is posted here with his permission:

Les,

Yesterday morning I came into my office at Bladen Community College to find specific web sites that I have accessed for over a year now blocked by the Barracuda Web Site Blocker. And why you might ask? Because they pertain to the category "Weapons."

I am at a college in a county who has an arms manufacturer. This same company employs machinists that this school wants me to train for careers in machining yet they desire to be PC and anti-gun.

I ran an e-mail up to the Dean and Executive VP and ask that it be rectified. If not, my contract expires on January 3.

I cannot and will not work for such a two-faced outfit.

Told you I needed a drink.

Dave

Unfortunately, in my state of health I can't afford to drink.

A Quote

Sarah Palin said on the subject of the Obamacare bill:

The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.

Mrs. Palin is absolutely correct. Of course our unofficial Reich-ministry of Culture proceeded to denounce Mrs. Palin as a liar.

But the fact of the matter is that leftists see people as something to be used. And if a person is unusable, why keep them alive?

In a truly free society the truly generous would step in to help. But in the nightmare of socialism, where all resources are under the control of the state, only the rulers and those who can be used matter.

A Proposal

AMENDMENT XXVIII

All religions which deny the validity of the Constitution shall not claim protection under it.

The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

The Notional Debt

The question of the day: Should the victims be held liable for the debts run up by the criminals?

The correct answer is no. But try telling that to the Democrats and the Vichy Republicans.

The Democrats and the Vichy Republicans, who are in effect now a single ruling party, are exercising powers which were not granted to the Federal Government as well as powers which are specifically prohibited. And in doing so they have run up a debt that is both insane and beyond the capacity to redeem.

In short they are committing crimes against the people of the United States.

The Fourteenth Amendment, Fourth Section states:

The Validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned, but neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligation and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Let's step back and examine the situation objectively. The executive and legislative branches of the federal government are in clear violation of the Constitution, and the judicial branch is along for the ride. Not only are they exercising specifically prohibited powers, but they are actively working to disarm the citizens of the nation. Which is in practical effect an act of insurrection.

To govern is to exercise control. But this mob which calls themselves the government is out of control. They refuse to comply with the laws to which they are subject. And they are now subjecting us to their will.

They are not the government. They are the insurrection.

Are we liable for their debts? Absolutely not.

by "Minuteman"

3 SFG(A)

Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined.

--Patrick Henry

As a soldier-historian I have been watching, with considerably more than passing interest, The very document I have sworn to defend against both foreign and domestic enemies, the Constitution of the United States, sink deeper and deeper into a socialist cesspool; a cesspool constantly fed by the sewer of compromise.

On 19 April 1775, a handful of men in Lexington Massachusetts took up arms in defense of their peers at Concord to oppose a force sent to confiscate their means to resist tyranny. This confiscatory force was not a foreign invader, nor an army of occupation; it was the army of their government. Our
ancestors resisted, and won.

Modern Americans are content to grovel at the feet of their government, compromising at every turn, whimpering insipid platitudes of subservient thanks when their Constitutional rights, assured by the original ten Amendments to the Constitution, are granted to them anew as privileges.

The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are limitations on government -- not the individual. Bear in mind that the original ten Amendments to the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, were not the product of those who wrote the Constitution, the Federalists, but to those who opposed it, the Anti-Federalists. The Anti-Federalists recognized the potential for tyranny in the Constitution and insisted on guarantees of inalienable rights that could not be abrogated by the government. They recognized that all government is, by definition, tyrannical.

Socialists believe words are fuzzy, undefinable constructs that assume whatever meaning they want under whatever whim context they invent at the time. Socialists hate the 18th century language of the Constitution because the words used actually had specific meaning in the context in which they were used. Thus the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states in full:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

In context, the term "...regulated Militia," meant the whole citizenry, independently armed, practiced and drilled in the use of their arms, prepared to take up those arms to preserve their property, as individuals, and their rights as freemen.

In context, the phrase "...free State," meant not only defense against foreign aggression, but more explicitly, defense against domestic tyranny.

Note the elegance and exclusivity of the closing to this keystone of the Bill of Rights, "...shall not be infringed." In context this means: No organization, government or non-government, by design, neglect or whim, through legislation or regulation, for reasons specific or implied, shall restrict this right in any way, form, or condition.

Socialists believe the Second Amendment refers only to State government, or even more terrifying, to the Federal Government. Their shopworn bromide that the term "...the people..." in the Second Amendment applies only to the National Guard, Reserves, standing army, and police, but not to individuals, is a base lie.

"...(T)he people..." means all individuals. Period.

The National Guard is an instrument of force of a state government. The Reserves are an instrument of force of the Federal Government. Both organizations are, in 18th century terms, a Select Militia. It was in wise opposition to a government monopoly of armed force by a Select Militia in general and a standing army in particular, that the individual's right to keep and bear arms was guaranteed. No wonder our socialist government and their despicable altruist cheerleaders despise the Second Amendment.

Supreme Court rulings on the Second Amendment have affirmed that the Second Amendment applies only to individuals, not to armed gangs on federal or state payrolls. Indeed, the Supreme Court has ruled that the right of individuals to bear arms appropriate to (select) Militia use is unquestioned. This means: If the National Guard, Reserves, standing army, and innumerable armed gangs of local, state, and unconstitutional Federal police have, for example, M-16 rifles, it is not only the right of individuals to possess and openly bear the same weapons, it is contrary to the preservation of their liberty not to.

Political socialists in the U.S. Congress, as well as police state socialists in the unconstitutional Justice and Treasury Departments are using the typical stalking horses of government tyranny, public safety, and some undefined mob of irrelevancies called "the children," to creep up on and abolish the sole guaranty of personal liberty in the Constitution, the Second Amendment.

By "public safety" the Federal government means greatly expanding the powers of their own armed gangs of badge wielding thugs. By those amorphous abstractions they call "children" they are referring to 15 - 24 year-old minority street garbage killing each other over drug and extortion turf.

Socialists are constantly calling for compromise on Second Amendment issues which they themselves fabricate. Compromise, as any intelligent person knows, is unmitigated evil. Only the inept, irrational, and intellectually corrupt ask for compromise and only they win when compromise is conceded by the able, rational, and intelligent out of some fear of being labeled "extremist."

Socialists revile those who stand on principle, those who distinguish right from wrong, and those who can differentiate between truth and lies. Whenever socialists fling accusations of extremism you can rest assured that their opponents have the truth of their side. Simply put, in any compromise between poison and food, only death wins.

Regarding the Second Amendment, the victor in the compromise between the right to keep and bear arms equivalent to those of the Select Militia, and government legislation against them, is slavery. The men who stood armed against their government at Lexington knew that their only choice was liberty or serfdom. They did not compromise.

Two-hundred years ago Randy Weaver and David Koresh would have been heroes for resisting government whimsy. Today they are vilified for having defended their liberty by force of arms. The unconstitutional Federal police, as always, demonstrated groveling cowardice in their investigation, execution, and cover-up of these outrages. The media, as always, whined, simpered, and adopted the greasy socialist party line like the practiced second handers they are.

Adopting the bald eagle as the national symbol was a mistake. It should have been the rattlesnake. Philosophically, the only flag in our history that reflects the cause of the American Revolution, resistance to government tyranny, is the coiled rattlesnake over the words: "DON'T TREAD ON ME." No one can look upon that flag and misunderstand its meaning.

Under the Constitution the only Federal crime is treason. Subverting the Constitution can only be construed as such. Those in government, Federal state, or local, who by action or inaction would legislate away the only individual guaranty against tyrannical government, the right to keep and bear
arms, and those who support such legislation, are traitors to the Constitution.

As a soldier of the standing army I am sworn to defend the Constitution against these domestic enemies of the Constitution. I will, and I am not alone.

Let's Make A Deal

I submitted the following piece to for publication in The Resister. It wasn't accepted:


LET'S MAKE A DEAL?

After months (or more likely years) of fighting, the beltway brigands declare that they are seeking a negotiated settlement to the Second Civil War.

After they make the usual noises about "power sharing" arrangements, etc., etc., the head of our delegation answers thus:

What we want from you Bill is this; You and your underlings will formally resign from office , you will surrender all claims of authority over the citizens and territory of the United States, you will go into exile, and under no circumstances will you establish or support the establishment of a quote, government in exile, close quote.

You and your followers will take your offshore bank ATM cards and go. And please take the First Bitch with you.

In effect, the enemy is offered conditional amnesty.

The point in favor of such a deal is that we cut our own losses in blood and treasure. The points against are, firstly, while the deal is expedient, it is fundamentally unjust. The individuals responsible for the subjugation and slaughter of American citizens (the Waco massacre, etc.) are basically getting away scot-free.

The second point against it is that it is contrary to the nature of the beast we are facing. Although the deal allows the enemy to take their loot with them, plunder (on the part of the leadership) was not their primary goal, unrestrained power over us is. The apparent governing principle of (to name an example) Clinton's behavior in public office is L'Etat cest Moi, literally; "The State, that's Me". The leader is held to be synonymous with the state, opposition to malfeasance on the part of the leader is treated as anti-government hatred, in effect as nothing less than treason. Clinton's consistent answer to criticism of his actions has been to defame his victim's and his critics, and to demand silence and obedience regardless of the consequences to his subjects.

The statist leader refuses to be subject to any legal restraints, nor does he pay heed to any superior authority. His victims, those persons who are to be subjected to his whims must be silenced and disarmed. This is nothing new, the military arm, be it a sword, a pike or a firearm, is the symbol and instrument of political authority. The citizens of a free nation, armed and ready to defend their lives and liberties, have a commanding voice, which a politician may ignore only at his peril. Augustus
Caesar understood this when he depoliticized the citizen body of the Roman Republic by replacing the citizen militia based army of the republic with a mercenary force loyal to himself.

If presented with a "take the money and run" deal, a power addict would very likely refuse to accept. I would not be surprised if Bill Clinton, following the example of such statist trash as Adolf Hitler and Salvador Allende, ultimately ends up taking the final exit while cowering in a final redoubt.

As much as each of us may prefer otherwise, the coming struggle is certain to be a long, bloody, fight to the death.

Advice From A Friend

I received this eighteen years ago from the editor of THE RESISTER:

RE: bugout kit.

If you live in the city, a nice sport coat, slacks, shirt, tie, $2,000 cash in 20's and 10's, AWOL bag containing comfy clothes and necessary hardware. Travel by train or bus if you don't trust your car. Find a nice bed and breakfast in the country with a lot of escape routes. Lay low until the heat is off. Have a (secure) destination. Just remember. Once you're on the run you can never stop. More on this later.

Our assessment is that IF they go after anyone it will be the cowboys playing soldier and shooting off their mouths. You should be OK. Remain "uninteresting."

I'll have to adjust the carried cash a bit.

An Open Message To Barack Obama

I have a message for Barack Obama the fool who is visibly upset at the fact that we won't blindly submit to his whims.

Get over it.

Sure, you claimed to won two presidential elections by a majority of the votes cast. (After all, you are a Illinois Democrat)

So what?

An election in a constitutional republic is a process of hiring someone to perform a constitutionally defined task. It is not a mystical collectivist ritual for the anointment of a stone age god-king. We do not believe in The Leader Principle. We do not believe that the stone age god-king that you have become is in any way the embodiment of a collective will. And we certainly do not believe that we are in any way subject to what is in fact your personal whim. We are not and never will be a living prop in your ideological fantasy. We will not bind ourselves with the chains that you offer us. And we will never embark on the path that always leads to the anonymous ditch outside of a town.

What you are is a believer in what Ayn Rand used to call the Primacy of Consciousness, a belief that reality is not inherently real but is in some way alterable by a ruling consciousness. In your case, the Collective, which in many versions of Socialist doctrine has a distinct consciousness of its own. Some Leftists have gone as far as to claim that the individual perception of actual reality, which invariably contradicts the doctrines of the collectivists, is a form of false consciousness.

This explains why the Left has made the effort to gain control of the Mainstream Media, and why they insist on "shaping opinion" instead of simply reporting the facts. Your supporters in the media are through the deliberate issuance of falsehoods trying to alter reality. But reality is inherently real. Facts are facts. Or to put it in the simplest terms: A is A.

The number of votes you received (or in the Chicago system, claimed to received) doesn't change the fact that you are wrong. Might (or in the Chicago system, the appearance of might) is not right.

You are about to learn in the worst way that reality is not subject to a majority vote.

What are your questions on this block of instruction?

The New Barbarians

I just posted the following statement on the Harry Binswanger Mailing List:

In the state of Florida, a jury refused a demand for a human sacrifice.

The Left stands by and cheers as every new manifestation of barbarism rises and slaughters good people and innocent children. The chattering classes willingly support and serve the enemies of mankind and viciously slander and condemn those who dare to raise a hand in defense of the defenseless. They sit in their coffee houses cooking up conspiracy theories about how Conservatives are planning to exterminate their own particular fringe group.

But if the conspiracy theories of the Left were true they would all be dead. If Conservatives dealt with the adherents of Liberalism the way the Left has dealt with humans in general whenever the Left has obtained power, there wouldn't be any Liberals left standing. Of the universities and the urban centers of Liberalism there would be nothing left but smoking ruins, and there would be mass graves from coast to coast.

We need to face the fact that the present day Left, like the barbarians who plagued civilization before them, are essentially parasites. Control of the productive population is essential for their survival and well being. Compulsion is inherently necessary to the parasite manner of existence. Those who resisted had to be killed as an object lesson for others.

The Left Marxist barbarians, not only need material support they also need spiritual support as well. They need to feel that their victims are not only submitting to them today but will do so tomorrow as well.

Barbarian chieftains and tribal witch-doctors demanded degrading and often dangerous acts of worship from their subjects, up to and including human sacrifice, in order to assure themselves that they would still have a roof over their heads and food to eat the next day. Those refused to obey were assaulted or killed.

In the meeting places of the Left the demand is for unquestioned agreement without regard to the actual facts of reality. The Leftists are the first to demand censorship lest they be identified as frauds and subsequently bounced out of their comfortable fantasy worlds, no longer insulated from a real world that demands real thought and real labor.

The Left, being dependent upon others for their sustenance, must stand in opposition to the society of rational consent and openly support systems of compulsion, because to do otherwise is to condemn themselves to death.

What are your questions on this block of instruction?

Observation

The lives of good Americans will be sacrificed in the fictional nation of Syria so that President Barack Obama can pretend to be a savior.

President Obama is intervening the local equivalent of a street fight between the Sturmabteilung and the Schutzstaffel. This is full altruism. This does not serve any rational national interest. And this is an absolutely useless act.

May we have a Coup D'Etat in the United States please?

Waco And Oklahoma City

Every year I post an article on this blog about the Massacre of the Branch Davidians in their home outside of Waco, Texas. I have never mentioned the bombing of the Murrah Federal building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, even though it was a related event.

And I never raised the question of why those events happened.

Why? Why did those events occur?

I have a theory, But I need time to think it through.

Free Literature

I was wring a science fiction novel. At a bit past 42,000 words I decided that two aspects, the extinction event on Earth and the villains where a bit too absurd, So I'm starting over again.

If anyone wants to read the existing MS send me an e-mail.
