Give Me Men, Not Followers
by Hellesponte & Kerodin
February 2, 2011

A brief note to the Women who visit: I speak with many of you in email, and no one has ever complained, but I want to get this out there for the record. I use male pronouns when I write, which I was taught includes the feminine. I am never neglecting the better half of our species when I write.

III to Congress: I'm going to skip over Item G (Impeachment) for a few days. I was recently given a brilliant piece of work on the topic that I want to migrate deeper into my brain before I offer it to you for consideration.

Instead, let's skip to to Item H: Entitlement Programs.

H) Entitlement Programs: The proper place for Entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and Federally sponsored healthcare is in the respective States, and are prohibited to the Federal Government. We support legislation to abolish all Federal transfer payment programs and every American shall receive a refund of all money paid into these programs, including interest calculated at fair market rates had the Citizen been permitted to save this money in private interest earning accounts.

Our oldest Citizens will be paid first, lump sum payments to make them whole. The money to recompense Citizens will come from cancelled Federal budgets and sale of Federal Assets, and from legitimate Federal Taxes derived by pre-Sixteenth Amendment sources until all Citizens have been made whole. This process is expected to take several decades.

This is a difficult problem to work through and making everyone whole will take a LONG time, it simply can't be done all at once. Here's our first poll, and if we need to refine the question we'll do it and work our way to an answer most of us accept.

Leadership Resistance:

I contend that the Ruckus can not be a top-down resistance.

The fight must be thousands of independent, thinking Patriots moving toward the same general goal without a CCC structure. Any attempt for C3 will be easily destroyed by OpFor.

If you want victory, plan on working in an environment with large numbers of Independent Operators.

Any man who claims to be a Leader of the Resistance - kill him. He will get you killed if you follow him.

If you suddenly found yourself in need of a small Battalion, say 500 independent men with grit and innate disposition to Liberty as defined by Jefferson, where would you drive your Ruckus Buggy, stuffed with the tools of the Militiaman to outfit your new Company of allies?

I'd drive straight to the nearest Federal Prison. Inside you will find men who have a better understanding of Liberty and Freedom, reinforced with an understanding of weapons and violence, than you will find in any police barracks. The guys inside won't be able to define Jeffersonian philosophy by the label, but they know it when they see it. Most of them have been deprived of their Liberty for selling or consuming a product that our Masters have deemed illegal and immoral.

Most of these guys understand the innately immoral premise upon which our Justice System is built, with particular understanding of the need to meet violence with violence. They understand how important the Right to Arms is for self defense, whether against thugs in their neighborhood, or thugs of Government who disapprove of their exercise of acts that fall well within Mister Jefferson's definition of Liberty. They understand the value of keeping men out of your pockets and possessions.

They understand the concept of mind your own business and I'll return the favor.

They understand don't start none, there won't be none.

They understand better than most suburban, college-educated Citizens that Government is raw power, and that evil men turn the power of Government against the Citizen.

It doesn't matter if you drive up to a High Security facility or a Camp, if you need men at your back, flanks and sides who want the same thing you want (Liberty) and have the spine to go toe-to-toe with raw Power, and the street smarts to go with it, look to where our Masters warehouse the highest concentrations of Type A men in the republic.

If such men frighten you, my first suggestion is that you don't understand. I was there, I know of what I speak. For the most part these are guys who have the mettle to live in defiance of Masters mandates, freedom, if you will, and to handle the business aspects of their chosen professions. To a man they are not cowards, and they appreciate the value of strategically inflicted violence. Very few are mad dogs looking to rape, pillage & plunder, and those of such disposition tend to get voted off the island by others - no one feels safe in the midst of a mad dog.

If they still frighten you, reconsider your course. It will take men with such skills and dispositions to face down the Tyrants among us, from wherever they may come.

Set loose 500 independent, Liberty-seeking men in your AO and OpFor will lose.

Now...you'll need to be a genuine Leader of Men once OpFor is run from the field if you want to steer your AO toward Constitutional Liberty. That means you'll have to have the spine and skills to call for a Constitutional Convention of sorts in your AO and meet these men face-to-face on equal terms and use your skills of persuasion to help them understand that Constitutional Liberty ensures that they may live free, as they wish. Under a genuine Constitutional system, most of the rules that once froze these men from our system, and made them criminals, are no longer crimes. They have a stake in the system.

Think such men are unable to grasp the nuances of Constitutional governance? You'd be surprised then to glimpse the Code they have evolved for themselves. I can say from first hand experience that the Code of Conduct among the hard men of the world of violence is far more in line with Mister Jefferson's Liberty than is our so-called Justice System.

Most men consciously turn to crime when they are denied legitimate opportunity. Under a Constitution as envisioned by our Founders no man is denied Liberty. That means no man is denied opportunity. In a proper America, every community will police their own. Those animals among us will be left in a ditch quickly by responsible Citizens.

I contend that every problem facing the republic is a direct result of the violation of our Constitutional Principles, the active denial of Liberty to Citizens.

Fix that problem and poverty, inner city crime, and every other ill facing the republic will fade out of existence.

When you find the need for allies in the fight against OpFor, look to the inner-cities and the prisons. These folks have more in common with Patriots than do the Political Class in their high-minded rhetoric of Law & Order, which they use to oppress and deny Liberty. There is a reason our Political Class uses economic and racial Class Warfare tactics to keep a wedge of fear between the suburbs and the inner cities - they understand that we have more in common than not, and constitute a force that is overwhelmingly powerful if ever united.

Resist. Reinforce. Reload. Ruckus. Restoration.

Communism: Ground Gained

We too often fail to cut through the PC misdirection offered by our enemies within, so let us remind everyone right now: Liberalism is Communism in a cloak.

Below are the 10 points laid out by Marx.

Consider them and consider where the nation is today in reference to each.

Then, consider for each of the points which of our political parties advocate for policies and programs to achieve the stated goals.

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.

5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.

6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.

7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.

8. Equal liability of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.

10. Free education for all children in public schools.

Excerpt: There comes a time when civility is no longer appropriate as the only option on the table. Dare we not offend the sensibilities of Liberals, Socialists, and Communists in our midst who are ruining and destroying our republic? Are we to cower and sheepishly genuflect when we are scolded for the tone or choice of our words in the face of ruin, poverty, tyranny, and death?!

Are we so frightened of chastisement from insignificant men and women of the political Left with stained and darkened souls that we turn from our duties of Patriotism and shun our sacred obligation to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America? We ask you, is not our republic worth the risk of being castigated? Is the soul of our mighty nation no longer worthy of our fortunes, our lives, and our Sacred Honor? Have we lost so much of our heritage, our courage, our mettle, and grit that we will stand idly by and permit the foolish and the stupid, who work hand-in-hand with evil people in our nation, that we will permit them to send us into eternal slavery and tyranny as the world has never before witnessed?

Excerpt: You are a fool if you do not believe that elements of the Left would use force, if they could, to compel you to comply with many of their edicts. In drafting healthcare reform, they use the threat of financial fines, felony conviction and prison if you refuse to buy health insurance!

How is that not only a degree or two removed from a pistol to the head? We are undeniably heading toward the same tyrannies known to Russians, Germans, and the Chinese. It starts with Liberalism, advances to Socialism, and ends with Fascism, Communism, or some other tyranny…and death.

Excerpt: We have a culture of people whose first response to a physical threat is to dial 911, or worse, a lawyer. We have a nation of people who will dump hot coffee on themselves, then sue the restaurant – and win! We have a nation of educators who suspend children for drawing a picture of a handgun or for bringing a Boy Scout knife-and-fork kit to show and tell!

We have a nation of people so removed from the food chain that many would starve to death if the local supermarket closed. We have a nation of people who cannot truly grasp the hardships faced by most of the people in the world every day, and as a result we have a nation of people who have lost fundamental common sense.

Excerpt: The Bill of Rights articulates the natural rights of man, rights that are not bestowed by government, but rights that are innately ours as human beings. These rights may not be taken from us. These rights were written in plain language so that no clever interpretation and manipulation of the intent was possible. These rights may not be restricted, narrowed, or infringed. Any attempt to do so is a violation of the relationship between Man and Creator.

Every narrowing, restriction, infringement, and clever interpretation imposed upon us in the years since our Constitution was ratified is simply a violation of our natural rights.

We hold that every violation of the Constitution and Bill of Rights by those in Government is an act of Treason, as these violations are unjust, undermining the fundamental foundations of our republic, breaking the pact between citizen and government, and desecrating the relationship between Man and Creator. Any man or woman who enforces these unconstitutional laws on behalf of government is a treasonous soul and an enemy of Liberty and humanity.

Sons of Liberty Flag

Try not to make it to the Big League before it begins.

How do you know when you have made the Bigs?

You catch a Federal case.

When you earn real attention from our Masters, you'll know it...usually after it is too late. Our Masters will tolerate quite a bit from folks, even Patriots who are rabble-rousing. They really don't care if you are stocking up on rice and beans, even rifles and bullets. They don't care if you call them names or incite a few misdemeanors or send them snarky little letters. If you are trying to get their attention and you have not yet caught a Federal case, it's still amateur hour...or maybe you are valuable to them...

It's when you start to have an impact on the flow of dollars that you will earn real interest. Write a report that negatively impacts the stock value of a few Fortune 50 companies, and you will soon have a genuine understanding of the term Lawfare.

You may also be schooled on Constructive Possession.

There are many lessons you may be taught. Right Now.

You will learn inside baseball details about the US Code that will make you ill.

The world begins to move very, very quickly.

You will be faced with stark choices that have never entered your mind, because you think you understand the rules.

You do not understand the rules, until you have been inside the machine.

Then your options are put on the table: 2 years if you take the deal, or 20 if you fight...and we'll add a Conspiracy case for your little dog, too...

You will learn that the power of a US Attorney is crushing.

Do not make it easy to take you out of play, Patriot.

And, it is oh, so easy...if they ever decide to do it.

The choice is theirs...not yours.

Truth, Justice & the American Way?

Not so much.

The DOJ conviction rate is 95% in a bad year, and pushes above 98% according to some stats. The deck is not only stacked in their favor, they own the deck. And the card table. And the casino. Do you understand?

Can you name any Federal bureaucracy that runs at a minimum 95% efficiency rate? What does that tell you?

Do not make the mistake of thinking that you intimidate them just because they have not yet chosen to come for you...

The Point: If you are trying to incite Big Brother to notice you, go for it! But, man up and roll bigger dice.

If you would prefer to make your preparations for it with relative impunity, just go about your business and avoid taking actions that will make it easy for Them to take you out of play, and do not give them a reason to take you out of play. Don't telegraph about the details of your preparations or defensive measures. Don't put a pistol in your belt, against your local laws, unless you are willing to use it when LEO spots you in the convenience store. Avoid gratuitous violence.

Do not draw hyperbolic lines in the sand. When you draw lines in the sand that you do not defend, it reveals you for what you are deep in your Soul...and some of that bad energy splatters on us, too.

There will be plenty of opportunities for a fight, if you want one, soon enough. Be smart, stay off the radar, so that any fight you engage will be on your terms.

What is a III Percent Patriot

Historians consider that about 3 percent of Americans took arms and challenged the King during the Revolution.

3 percent. III Percent. Threepers.

Patriots.

We exist today.

We are that percentage of Americans who have the tools and mettle of the Militiaman who stand and have drawn a hard line for the Hard Right of the political spectrum.

We are that cadre of American Patriots who refuse to yield further. Our fathers and grandfathers permitted the insanity of Collectivism too much latitude, and it is we that History has called upon to set the republic back to her Constitutional principles.

The diseases of Liberalism and Collectivism are murdering the republic.

We are simply Patriots who are finished passively backing up. We are Patriots who have decided to take action...and if you are an enemy to the Liberty of the republic, stand aside, shut your mouth, or face the consequences of trying to enslave a group of men and women who have no intention of accepting the chains.

The concept of the III Percent is a matter of historical fact and state of mind. It is not a club or private group. No Patriot need submit an application to any Leader seeking acceptance, and no entity may strip you of the III Percent title.

If you are an American who shares the ideals of that historic III Percent of Americans who took arms against the King and took to the field when we needed serious men and women who were willing to fight, kill and die for the ideal of Liberty, you are a III Percent Patriot.

Every single law on the books, ultimately, is enforced with the muzzle of a weapon. It does not matter if the charge is failing to pay your property tax or jay walking, hosting a yard sale without a town permit, or murder, if you resist the punishment in any of these cases, Government will escalate until you yield or...the final step results
in the discharge of firearms.
You forget this at your peril.

WESTERN RIFLE SHOOTERS

Every day I strongly recommend everyone who comes to my site: Take a moment and visit Concerned American at Western Rifle Shooters. Have you taken a good look at the time and effort that has been invested there to build such a utilitarian collection of practical knowledge? There is no wasted effort: Every resource is useful, and worth your time to investigate.

He also posts a few topics of the day, but he has a unique twist that is supported by a knack of finding relevant material from which one can learn. The other day he posted videos from an old experiment that must be watched and understood by every person who hopes to survive whatever may come our way. Milgram. Click it. Study it. Burn it into your psyche and reflexes...here.

He does not fall into the blog trap of posting a story, then shaking his head...his 2 cents are worth more than most...

Kerodin Glossary

Ruckus: This is when the conflict between Left and Right devolves into the realm of the physical. Government may or may not be involved.

Verbal Ruckus: Discussions between Left and Right that have dropped the facade of civility, but not yet crossed the physical barrier. Once they put their hands on you, welcome to a genuine Ruckus.

It: A Ruckus. It may be started from any number of potential events. When it is on, the Ruckus is on. The most important consideration when it is on: There are no rules.

Left: We use this word as the easiest label for the enemies of the Constitution, including: Collectivists, Liberals, Progressives, RINO's, Establishment Republicans, the Political Class, Lobbyists, Global Warming peddlers, and more...

Where legality and morality part ways, tyranny enters.

"Liberalism, and Liberals, are ruinous to the republic, and must be marginalized if America is to survive. Patriots must step to this challenge and risk the wrath of the Politically Correct, and do the work that must be done to honor our Fathers. Liberals must be stopped, at any cost." - Kerodin

"No, I apologize for nothing. I know the truth, regardless of what may be in the press. I know that when I stand before Saint Peter, I will be granted passage. If I am ever granted audience with God, I have nothing to fear. I have lived the life He chose for me, and I still have much work to do..." - Kerodin

"No man looks forward into life when young and can imagine for himself the life I have lived. But I am better for it. I have been places never anticipated. I have had experiences never dreamed. I have met people who would have never otherwise been in my social or professional circle. I have, many times, leaned upon the words of Winston Churchill - 'When you are going through Hell, keep going!'" - Kerodin

My family continues to promote my values where I can not. They are Patriots. If you ever meet my wife, you will meet the most loyal wife and Patriot in America. She is brave, brilliant, and bold. We fight Liberal stupidity together through the First Amendment. Laws change - and one day I will stand with her again in the Second Amendment fight that she carries on when I must stand aside." - Kerodin

Current political leaders are only the face of the problem confronting America today. The underlying cancer eating the American Soul is Liberalism. But for your Liberal neighbors, Liberal politicians would never be elected to office.

It is not sufficient to simply defeat Liberal politicians at the polls. Liberalism must be defeated in our society and Liberals must be marginalized, or this disease will kill the republic.

Every patriotic business owner should immediately fire every Liberal on staff and hire an employee who respects the nation and our Constitution. Why should any business owner suffer an employee who will simply vote for politicians who further ruin the company?!

The Liberals in your community must be ostracized and denied entry into your social circle. These stupid people are responsible for the insanity that affects everything from your property taxes to the curriculum taught to your children. Why would you break bread with them, when they are the reason your bread costs too much? Why would any parent permit them access to their children, when they are responsible for ruining your child's future?

Excerpt:

This book may not be for you.

If you consider yourself to be a Liberal or Progressive, go away. You are not permitted to buy this book. This book is written by patriotic Americans for patriotic Americans. This is a discussion among ourselves, and if you are a Liberal politician or you vote for Liberal politicians, (Of the genus Stupidus Liberalis) you are not invited to participate.

First, we will demonstrate that all politicians, judges, and government employees at the Local, State, and Federal levels who support federal Healthcare Reform, the Assault Weapons Ban, TARP, Stimulus I, Free Trade Agreements, PATRIOT Act, the new “Jobs” bill, or a host of other such Federal programs or initiatives, are guilty of Treason against the United States of America.

Secondly, businesses, multi-national corporations and special interest groups that support Liberal politicians and/or Liberal programs, Cap & Trade, Global Warming legislation, et cetera, are committing Treason against the United States of America.

Finally, we will demonstrate that those private Citizens who support or vote for any of these politicians—once the nature of the politician is known to the public—or programs are equally guilty of Treason by knowingly lending material aid and support to a Traitor.

Excerpt: The five most expensive parts of our national budget are:

1. Social Security

2. Medicare

3. Medicaid

4. Defense

5. Interest on the National Debt

Numbers 1, 2 and 3 are wholly unconstitutional and brought to us by Liberals.

Number 5 is wholly a result of numbers 1, 2 and 3!
