Murder.

It looks to me like Finicum was attempting to surrender and was still shot at, or even shot. Then his hands went to his waistline. Then he was flinching as he was shot several times. The Thug in the tree line delivered the Coup de Grace.

Remember, there were back slaps and high fives all around when it was over. They are proud of themselves.

Watch This.

Why? Because Fuck Yeah! That's why! That is not a stage set. That is Edinburgh Castle in the background.

Pass In Review!

This is one of the BEST things I have ever seen. It touches my soul.

Then try to watch this one with dry eyes. Go ahead, I dare ya. If you haven't shed a tear by the end, you have no heart.

Slithering Snakes

The ZenGardner nails it.

Money Quote:

"The “patience of the planners” aspect eventually becomes evident to any sincere researcher, and literally haunts and even taunts with its seductive perfidy. Even putting your finger on this slippery subject is a chore, since we don’t think like they do and have a hard time even conceiving of such inter-generational, pathological conniving, the complete fulfillment of which most of whom would knowingly not see in their lifetimes.
It’s beyond us."


and,

"However, seriously perverted and otherwise motivated elements feel they need to control and steer and harvest the energies of everyone else. Natural law and order are anathema to them. They’ve decided for some insane, occult reason, that humanity is diseased with its own ‘naturalness’ and needs to be corralled, cleansed, modified and even “maintained” at certain population levels. Their self-styled, cold so-called intellectual prowess dictates a world with the “illuminated” man taking the earth-bound masses into a utopia designed by these self-appointed elites, for these same elites, and with them in absolute power over a populace enthralled with its very enslavement."

and,

"But what really opens people’s eyes is realizing this is something that is spiritually driven, and when you connect enough dots you see there is a core intelligence behind these tentacles of control being exerted on humanity."

Death and Taxes... I Agree.

This comes from Lewrockwell.com.

Money quote:

"Progressive taxation is Marxist. At the end of section two of Marx’s Communist Manifesto, in addition to calling for the abolition of private property and the centralization of the means of production in the hands of the state, he petitioned for “a heavy progressive or graduated income tax.” The U.S. income tax has been progressive from the very beginning. The current tax rates of 10, 15, 25, 28, 33, 35, & 39.6 percent are highly progressive. The tax code is also progressive because of the personal exemption and itemized deduction reductions and the phrase out of certain tax deductions and credits that punish high-income taxpayers. The U.S. tax code is Marxist, even if the Marxism is disguised as the idea that “the rich” should pay some arbitrary “fair share.”

Subatomic Particles React To Our Intentions

Quantum physicists have seen again and again how subatomic particles react to the intention of the observer. This throws a monkey wrench into the "objective study" of the physical world. 

This site is one of the first I read when I asked Google to find "subatomic particles respond to our thoughts. Below is the money quote from that piece. 

These subatomic particles are constantly on the move, spinning about their axis at incredible speeds. Scientists are curious to know how fast they move and in what directions they move. Trying to measure a subatomic particle’s movement is more difficult than measuring the running patterns of three hundred eight year olds released into the school playground at lunchtime.

The problem that physicists have come up against is that when a scientist attempts to measure the spin of a particle the particle plays a trick. If the physicist sets up his apparatus to measure the particle to see if it spins in Direction A, then when the experiment begins the particle is found to be spinning in Direction A. If the physicist moves to check Direction B, then the particle is found to be spinning in Direction B. The particle is always found to be spinning in the reference direction chosen by the experimenter.

“It is a property which completely undermines any attempt to make sense of the concept of direction in the quantum domain” says science writer Paul Davies. “It also introduces a bizzare subjective element into the physical world. If the spin of a particle is destined to follow forever the experimenter’s random choice of reference direction, the experimenter’s free will somehow intrudes into the microworld. The uncanny slavishness that obliges all spinning particles to adopt the experimenter’s definition of angle is suggestive of mind over matter. (my highlight).” (Davies 1985, p.33)

Life, Goals and The Front Sight Metaphor

I thought of this as I was thinking of teaching pistol craft. When I teach someone to shoot a handgun, I start with the grip, the presentation, the sight picture, front sight---press! We dry fire for at least an hour.

I don't start with he draw stroke, because that isn't relevant to the task at hand. One must first learn how the shot actually works. If you find yourself with a pistol in hand, regardless of how it got there, you had better know how to use it!

So, what metaphor? What about the front sight? The front sight is the key to accurate pistol shooting. I teach someone the basics at very close range. We begin with the target just outside arm's reach, say three feet. The reason for this is to teach the student that the simple principles applied at close range get us to our desired goal. It also gets the student accustomed to the pistol's noise (yes, earplugs in!) and recoil. This also helps the student to understand that at close range interpersonal confrontations, he can engage and prevail. That psychological lesson is invaluable.

Grip, presentation, front sight...press.............BANG!

The front sight is the short range goal. We must focus intently on that short-range goal. We apply direct pressure. We don't anticipate when the shot will break, but we know that it will if we just apply steady deliberate pressure on the trigger. When the shot breaks, we are not thinking about shooting. We are thinking only of that short range task of applying direct pressure with FAITH that the shot will break while we are focused on the front sight, with clear vision. The target itself may be a bit out of focus, but that's OK. It MUST be because our eyes cannot focus on three different planes at once. We choose the most important one. We know that the ONLY way to put the shot where we want it, is to apply direct pressure on our short range goal... Front Sight...Press! By doing this again and again we create a tight shot group. It doesn't matter at what range (distance) we are shooting. The principle applies regardless. We repeat the process. We get a tight shot group. The short range goal, applied with direct pressure, gets us to our long range goal, inevitably!

We build confidence. We master the fundamentals. We keep the tasks simple. We Crawl, we Walk, then we Run.  We master the short range, then we move back a bit, just a bit. We move from three feet to five feet. We repeat the process. The principles apply. We practice within out skill set. Once we are comfortable at five feet. We move back just a bit to ten feet. We practice. We apply the principles. We focus on the Front Sight. We shoot a tight group. Our confidence builds.

How long does it take a child to learn to walk? A year usually, give or take a couple of months. He must learn to crawl first. He watches the adults around him. He emulates them and begins to make the attempt. He receives aid and encouragement from his parents. The principles apply, balance, steady platform, one step. Hold onto something or someone for support. Another step. Then two, then in series. At eighteen months the child is walking without thinking about it. He begins to run without being aware he is doing it.

The metaphor then, is this: We set a long range goal, our pistol shooting skill set. We determine the short range goals to get us there, grip, presentation, sight picture, front sight, press. We master the preliminary skills to facilitate our growth, never losing sight of our long range goal, but focusing on the short range. We apply direct pressure. We shoot one shot correctly. Then two. Then three... we have a shot group. Great! Do it again! Success breeds success. Our confidence grows, just as the child learning to walk. Each time we increase the distance we KNOW that the principles, if applied, will get us the result we desire!

As the child begins to run without thinking about it. We engage targets at any distance without thinking about it. We accomplish ANY GOAL, by applying the principles, applying direct pressure, keeping focus on the front sight.

John Ross Speaks

This piece comes from Americanthinker.com.

 I haven't seen anything from John Ross in a while. His formerly semi-regular column "Ross In Range" hasn't been active lately. Go and read the piece.

Money Quote:

Now Obama tells us that there are hundreds of thousands of "unlicensed" dealers, and they have to be licensed.  This is going to create a real problem for the ATF.  The government is now going to have to define "dealing" and put a number on it.  I have heard mention of 25 or more guns a year as a suggested threshold.  That would create a huge problem for ATF making a case against a citizen.  They'd have to have undercover agents buy at least 25 guns from a single person in 12 months to make just one case.  If the number is much smaller, it's going to have severe legal implications for the issue of ordinary people selling private property.  In either case, a lot of people are going to be even more angry with this administration, and with good reason.

The Secret

I recently watched this film. I watched it on HULU. I have ordered the books also. This is what I Must Do! This is what We All Must Do!

We must think of what we want for the future. The leftists are wrong, but they keep gaining ground by making what they want their reality. We on the other hand have been focusing on how to stop them from taking our stuff! We MUST make our reality by focusing on what we want. We want limited Government. We want the right to property. We want personal wealth. We want a Christian Society. Let us focus on those things! The leftists are not relevant to our reality. They will go on being negative. We must overcome them, then ignore them. They will live in their hatred and envy because it is who they are.

Our reality may not happen overnight, but it will happen if WE, the MAJORITY, make it our reality. We'll ask God for it, have faith in the outcome, know it is true, and we will manifest it.

VeteransToday Nails it.

Armed free men live like this...

Disarmed subjects will inevitably live like this...

Veteranstoday.com has a piece which nails the core theme. One paragraph says it all. This is what every gun rights advocate should be saying. This is what I have been saying for many years. Go here and read it.

Money quote:

"Needing a license or anyone’s “permission” to open-carry is an INFRINGEMENT of the Second Amendment. Needing a concealed carry permit is an INFRINGEMENT of the Second Amendment. Needing to undergo background checks or psychiatric evaluation (Veterans) is an INFRINGEMENT of the Second Amendment. Not being able to have the same fully-automatic weapons as the government agencies, or a silencer, without a license, is an INFRINGEMENT of the Second Amendment, etc., etc., etc."

I have heard Gun Controllers say, "No right is unlimited". To that I say, you are a liar. You set up a straw man and then knock it down and pretend you're being logical. Trickery does not prove you are more clever. It proves you are dishonest. One's right to breathe is absolute and not subject to another's "reasonable restrictions". One's right to self preservation isn't open to "compromise". One's right to one's mind isn't subject to another's whim. One's right to thrive isn't subject to another's control absent the institution of Slavery.

The right to arms is the natural and inherent possession of every Free Man. Skill at arms is a requirement for maintenance of one's status as a Free Man.

You Must See "Making A Murderer"

Go here to look at the IMDB. It is a ten part series. It should infuriate you. I did me. A man was framed for murder because he was exposing deep corruption in his county's Law Imposement establishment.

Summary:

• Filmed over a 10-year period, Making a Murderer is an unprecedented real-life thriller about Steven Avery, a DNA exoneree who, while in the midst of exposing corruption in local law enforcement, finds himself the prime suspect in a grisly new crime. Set in America's heartland, the series takes viewers inside a high-stakes criminal case where reputation is everything and things are never as they appear.

Realize it could happen to you. It DID happen to this man.

Remember, the men who did this are proud of themselves.

Free Men, Stop Begging Permission!

Obama said this a few years ago long before he was President. I am quite sure leopards cannot change their spots. 

I do not believe that Obama has turned over a new leaf. Expanded background checks are not aimed at criminals. I have said this over and over. The only reason for this entire NICS system, established in 1998 under the Brady Act of 1993, is to condition the people to believe that they must beg permission first. We now have a new generation of young adults who have never known a time when they didn't have to beg permission from the FBI before they bought a firearm. This is what they have always known, so it seems "normal". The list of "prohibited persons" or, as Bill Clinton was so fond of saying, "people who shouldn't have them", is ever expanding. The next step will be to get everyone    to agree that this background check system is too burdensome and time consuming. It is also a huge waste of money to have the law abiding submit themselves over and over to the same background check. Wouldn't it be better if everyone just has a "license"? Then you could go get your gun without having to wait, because you have your license, granted to you by the ones who formerly granted you permission each time you made a purchase. You could just carry  your permission slip with you. Do you like that idea?

Free men do not beg permission to exercise their rights. Do you beg permission to draw breath? Do you beg permission before you open your eyes and observe Gods creation? Do you beg permission before you engage in conversation, especially when that conversation turns political? Do you beg permission before you put food in your belly? I tell you that you soon will. You have already surrendered in principle. The rest is a matter of degrees. 

Now, in this way I agree with Communist in Chief Obama. We should rid ourselves of these burdensome concealed carry permit/licensing laws. Constitutional Carry should be the law of the land as guaranteed by the Second Amendment.

Since the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land, and the Second Amendment is a guarantee of that right, the right to "bear arms" is the supreme law of the land. Therefor, permitting and licensing laws, which reside first on a denial of the right and then the granting of permission to do what is illegal, are Un-Constitutional on their face.

Law Imposement Officers, I have a question for you. Are you going to honor your oath and also enforce the Supreme Law of the Land? The Right of the people to keep (own, possess) and bear (carry!) arms is the highest law in the country. Any law which restricts that right is invalid and unenforceable. Any person who attempts to prevent me from carrying my sidearm or keeping any "arm" I choose is violating the highest law odf the land. So, whatcha gonna do?

I'll give you a hint. Read the Declaration of Independence. Then ask yourself, "Why are governments instituted among men...?"

It was a rhetorical question. I know what you'll do. You will enforce whatever law grants you more arbitrary power and authority over your neighbors.
