He’s Paying Attention

He isn’t totally wrong here. There ARE numerous well trained, retired, and active duty military with stockpiles of unregulated 3D printed firearms. Veterans and non-veterans, too. I don’t think the Nazism part is correct, but what is a leftist without an accusation of their opponents being NAZIs? Still, many of those in these circles ARE well connected, and they ARE arming and preparing for a civil war. Maybe he should reflect on that. He goes on:

Yep, the 2A movement IS filled with people who believe that they should be able to make as many untraceable, unregulated firearms as we want. At least you’ve been paying attention. Have we threatened those who oppose us with death? Yep, but that is only because those on his side of the aisle keep saying things like this:

You claim that it is by design that the size of the 2A movement is difficult to pinpoint. What SHOULD keep you up at night is this: it isn’t by design. The 2A movement isn’t designed, it isn’t Astroturf- the movement is organically difficult to pin down because it ISN’T designed or centrally planned. The core membership, designing, building, and stockpiling weapons, is currently in the millions. Perhaps tens of millions. We are engaged in what you call “digital anarchy,” but the rest of us know that as “free speech.”

Yes, there are segments of the same military that you despise while expecting them to kill for you that support the 2A movement. Most of all, we ARE a group that is imminently capable and willing to carry out stochastic violence that is ready, willing, and able to mobilize and carry out guerilla warfare if the situation in this country gets much worse.

Glad to see that you’ve been paying attention. Perhaps your kind should think about this before making things much worse.

Mug Club Undercover

Tucker Carlson leaving FOX News and starting his own streaming show has started a new trend in online news. Many Americans, myself included, have cut the cord and moved away from cable television. This is beginning a new era of news that is uncontrolled by the MSM megacorporations.

Steve Crowder has launched a new channel on Rumble- Mug Club Undercover. Here is the first episode, an undercover story on ‘kid friendly’ drag shows that are being guarded by armed Antifa members.

Not It

I’ve read all of the angst about the guy in Utah that got smoked when the FBI paid him a visit. I’ve listened to those who claim this is a sign that its time to go dark. That it’s a sign that the Feds are picking on him.

It isn’t any of those things.

The guy has been issuing rather explicit death threats against specific politicians for years. Posting pictures of himself in a ghillie suit holding a rifle. He’s had multiple previous visits from the Feds. With all of that, he kept doing it. It’s always been illegal to issue death threats. This isn’t a sign of targeted assassination. It’s an armed dumbass who didn’t know when to keep his bloviating mouth shut. There is a line, and he crossed it.

If you want to off a politico, then keep your mouth shut and just do it. If you want to run your mouth, then know that there are things you can’t do, and threatening to kill people is one of them. When you ignore that advice, expect to be the target of some FBI investigations, and when they DO come over, it’s a bad idea to point guns at them. That’s been true since forever.

Teaching

From JKb over at gunfreezone, we read about this six year old kid that brought a gun to school and shot his teacher. Yeah, the young age of the kid is shocking, but what isn’t shocking is that a black student got away with multiple acts of violence. The kid is now staying with his grandmother, who blames the school and his teachers:

‘He’s progressing. He’s progressed more since he’s been at this school than all those crazy years he was in a Newport News public school system,’ he added. ‘And I guess basically what he needed was a stable environment. And he just needed to be in a loving environment.

The mother blames ADHD. The kid had a long list of violent outbursts.

When I was a teacher, one of my biggest complaints was that teachers trying to maintain control of their classrooms had to fight against the students, their administrators, and the parents. You would write a discipline referral, the kid would get a stern talking to, then sent back to class. Why? Because less discipline makes the school look better.

That’s why I was told that I would need to go to anger management after I got attacked by a student in my classroom. That’s why we teachers were told that because 30% of the student body was black, but 50% of referrals were written against black students meant that we were racists.

Unimpeachable

From commenter D, we get this comment:

The state sees cops as “unimpeachable witnesses” meaning whatever they say is gospel unless you can prove otherwise.

For this reason, I will always side with my fellow citizen and give him or her the benefit of the doubt.

When I was in the Navy, we had a commanding officer who was incredibly authoritarian, Captain Macke. He was a douche, but retired after getting his fourth star. More on that in a minute. Why was he a douche? He would hold Article 15 (Captain’s Mast) like this:

They would put all of the accused on an aircraft elevator at the hanger deck level, maybe 20 or 30 of them, and the Captain would be standing behind a lectern on the flight deck. They would raise the elevator to the flight deck, and the Captain would say: “You all must be guilty, or your officers wouldn’t have sent you here. I find you guilty as charged. You are hereby reduced in rank one paygrade, fined one half pay for two months, restricted to the ship for 45 days, and 2 hours of extra duty every day for 45 days, to be served under the duty master at arms. Dismissed.” (This is the maximum punishment he can give without a courts martial)

The reason that this is important is that Macke believed that officers were absolutely unimpeachable. One of the things he used to say was, “If I have 100 enlisted men with 100 video cameras that show me 100 videos of something taking place, and I have one officer who tells me that isn’t how it happened, I will believe the officer every time.”

Of course, it’s also telling that he retired after being investigated by the Defense Department inspector general for allegations that he used military aircraft for personal trips and improperly fraternized with female subordinates while he was CINCPAC. They dropped him two paygrades for that. His new civilian job appeared to be using his military contacts and influence to arrange funding and lucrative government contracts. So much for unimpeachable officers. The best thing that I can say about the hypocritical sunovabitch is that he died last year.

So you’ll excuse me if I don’t buy into the “unimpeachable officer” trope.

Portland is Enemy Territory

A Portland jury found two Antifa members not liable for attacks on journalist Andy Ngo after defense lawyer Michelle Burrows told the jurors that not only does she self-identify as both a progressive and an “anti-fascist,” she strongly declared, “I am Antifa” and insisted upon making herself an “I am Antifa” t-shirt, which she said she would wear after the trial. Then made the statement that this would be her last trial, before telling the jurors that she “will remember each one of their faces.”

There is a reason why I have advised everyone to get out of the entire area of Portland, which can best be described as being behind enemy lines. Anyone who finds themselves in this area is advised to leave immediately, even if this means abandoning property.

There is no longer any redress available through the courts in large areas of the country. The only justice you get is what you take for yourself. As we approach another election season, expect violence to begin ramping up. Make sure that you are familiar with your area and have identified those who may be enemy combatants.
