versions of The Resister on Usenet, I bought an AK-47 chambered in 5.56
NATO. It had the thumb hole stock mandated at the time by our masters in Washington. As a former combat rifleman I took it
upon myself to properly zero in the sights on the weapon. As I was

On this day in 709 ab urbe condita the
original perpetual dictator was disposed of. A well known Roman
politician had a run in with some pissed off members of the Senate.
Assassination sucks, doesn't it JC? What some people don't understand

Because Socialism never works.
There were warnings for over a century and every warning was ignored. Those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
Socialism never worked but that never stops idiots from trying.

Evil entered the world. L. Ron Hubbard was born on this day
in 1911. L. Ron Hubbard actually conned a rocket scientist. L. Ron
Hubbard helped the Soviets during the Cold War. L. Ron Hubbard will
eventually be remembered as the vile man he actually was. I'm on public
record as calling L. Ron Hubbard a completely useless waste of mass and

recruiting station was a former service station on the corner of 22th
St. and Central Ave. It was snowing that day. When anyone at Fort
Benning inquired where I was from my usual answer was, "the Soviet

of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain
of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way
through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion
that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your
knowledge."

Properly used Ammonium Nitrate is a
fertilizer. Fuel Oil is a fuel. A rented moving van is a moving van.
Timothy McVeigh with co-conspirator Terry Nicolls misused those items to make a truck bomb. The actual cause of
horrors isn't the tools to commit the horrors but the beliefs of the
perpetrators. &Leslie Bateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10928555454437303212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622829.post-25715241646441147082024-03-07T00:30:00.003-06:002024-03-07T00:30:00.136-06:00On Censorship Expecting the Mainstream Media to lie is like expecting water to be wet.Under the Primacy of the State the function of law is to control the
productive population for the benefit of the ruling parasites. The
rulers and their immediate servants aren't subject to those laws

We think of The Holocaust and The Killing Fields as unique events, but
they weren't. The perpetrators of The Holocaust and The Killing Fields
thought of themselves as good people and their victims as evil people.
We think of Adolf Hitler and Pol Pot as as evil people, and they were,
