One look at the headlines on Drudge today should convince everyone that we are hurtling toward an epic, historic catastrophe, for the Administration is deliberately loosening the Jesus Nut on our rotor. They are taking every single action they can to drive us toward an ugly, unstructured collapse as fast as possible.

They want a Cluster Foxtrot.

Because They have a plan.

When it happens, there will be no cavalry.

It will be you, and you alone, standing against the world.

If you are very lucky and have prepared, you may have a small network of Patriots in your AO upon whom you can rely...but only to a point. Ultimately, when it gets ugly, it will be you, your spouse and children.

If you get tagged by LEO, do not expect anyone to break you out. Forget any and all of the hyperbole you have read on III websites about banding together and engaging in a coordinated fight for Restoration. If it happens anytime soon, David Olofson and Brian Aitkin will still be sitting in cages, because not one member of the Hard Right has any intention of risking themselves on their behalf...or yours.

The point is not that we are a bunch of hypocritical Keyboard Commandos...the point is that self-interest almost always outweighs selflessness, unless it is a child or spouse in peril. That's just human nature. You may be a friend, or a brother-in-arms...but you are not as important as a wife or child. That is where first loyalties will be found.

So, you should prepare with that reality in mind, as if you will stand alone against the world when it happens, because the odds are better than average that you will be standing alone. Even if you do have Tribe, will circumstances come to pass that you are all sleeping in the same bunker? Or is it more likely everyone will remain in their own homes most of the time...making any nocturnal interaction with LEO at the threshold strictly a family affair? Prepare to hold the bad guys off long enough for your friends to flank them...but you'd better have a Plan B in case your Tribe treats you like Aitkin.

What if They have intel about your entire Tribe, and move against all of you at once? In this case your Tribe will not be flanking on your behalf, because they will be engaged on their own thresholds. The prudent Patriot will prepare for the worst, and hope reality is a bit better.

If you are paying attention, you will feel the quickening.

The republic is vibrating at a higher frequency right now and we Patriots can sense darkness approaching rapidly. The incongruity of bailing out the EU while our politicians rabble-rabble-rabble about the inane such as extending tax cuts is surreal. We are watching our enemies in the republic throw gasoline on all we cherish, striking a blow torch, while Republicans warn of a filibuster!

Since the election, there has been a notable surge of aggressively unhealthful political motion from the Left in Washington. Do they sense a window closing? Has a decision been taken that a Ruckus may be necessary to prevent the 112th from taking office?

If you are serious about surviving to the other side of it, now is the time you should be checking all of your gear and preparations, and notch up your awareness. Be ready to gather the kids and close the shutters quickly.

There are always options and possibilities...right up to the moment when there are no more options or possibilities.

A ruckus may happen suddenly, triggered by an unexpected event in an unlikely quarter. It may be blatant. It may begin with subtlety that is mistaken as something benign. It may be shelved for a while.

You need to be ready. Right Now.

And when it starts, remember that there are no rules.

You will live, or die.

Your family depends on you.

You may not be able to depend on anyone.

Be aware of your own flanks.

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.

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.

Simo Häyhä: One Man, One Rifle

262,000,000 people were murdered by governments during the 20th Century.

The Constitutionalist, written by TL Davis

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.

Get your head on straight, Patriot!

Following the counsel of idiots and hollow heroes regarding SHTF circumstances will get you dead...and if you can't tell the difference between serious men and hot-air machines, you're already half way to a mass grave. Growling on blogs about how you will not yield one more inch, or one more of your gun rights, then letting LEO have your pistol during a traffic stop makes you a pathetic joke, not a Leader worthy of serious consideration.

Hyperbolic proclamations about what you will do to any Alphabet Agency team making a dynamic entry to your home is hardly helpful to the Patriot cause.

If you draw a line in the sand, defend the damned line! Do not whine and make excuses later about the better part of valor! Your poor judgment (drawing the line) and cowardice (choosing not to defend it) colors us all.

Man up and think for yourself, or you are wasting perfectly good air, and feeding those who depend on your intellect and common sense false hope.

"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!
