Quote Of The Day
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be
the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than
under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may
sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those
who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do
so with the approval of their own conscience.

Thought For The Day
Writing anti-gun "literature" is very easy--all one has to do is take
anything published by the NSDAP*and replace the word Jew with a word for
Gun Owner.
*National Socialist German Workers Party. That's the Nazi Party for those readers who are historically challenged.

Thought For The Day
If religion is a system of brainwashing and control then Scientology and Islam both qualify. And if religion is in fact a negation of Life and Liberty then why should it be protected under the Constitution?

Sigh...
Why don't we drop the pretense that Democrats, Progressives, or whatever they're calling themselves this week are anything other than the Manson Family with graduate degrees and paramilitary death squads in the place of LSD and old rusty knives?

Thought For The Day
The people who support The Big Zero and the would be successors Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are who Robert Heinlein wrote Starship Troopers.
These idiots* simply do not understand the nature of human life and function of government in protecting it. Not only that but they have been indoctrinated to believe that tyranny is right and freedom is wrong. Under no circumstance should any of them be allowed to exercise authority as a voting citizen.
Heinlein's proposed solution to the idiot problem is relatively easy to look up for yourself. Or you can purchase a copy of Starship Troopers from Ace Books.
My solution to the idiot problem is simply proper education in the obligations of citizenship.
The course would be similar to a driver education course as presently taught. The first part of the class covers The Constitution, the proper functions of each branch of government, the function of each clause and amendment, the duties of the citizen as the sovereign authority of the nation, and what happened when the Federal Government was allowed to enter the failure mode. The second part of the course covers the function and use of the instrument of political authority, the personal weapon. This covers rifle marksmanship and maintenance. Also covered is the basic organization and tactics of the citizen militia unit. While the citizenship course will not be mandatory, completion and a passing grade in it will be required to exercise the authority to vote.
* A word which is derived from the ancient Hellenic word for someone who does not participate in public life as a citizen of the political body.

A Thought
A problem with The Anointed is that they are the last to suffer the negative consequences of their own insanity.
A Possible Scam
I just received a phone call from someone who identified himself as being from the Technical Department of Windows and he asked if I was the primary owner of my computer. I would assume that a proper Microsoft employee would actually identify himself as be being employed by Microsoft. On the basis of this I assumed that this was a scam and immediately hung up the phone.

If O.J. Simpson had stayed home that night he would still have a career, real friends, the annoying ex-wife, a reputation as a stand up guy, and most importantly no one outside of Los Angeles would have ever heard the name Kardashian.

A Scene From A Work In Progress
This is a scene from a novel I'm currently working on:
Carl Grant had arrived on Freya and checked into a hotel in one of the suburbs of Landfall.. But he had to wait a full local day for the scheduled meeting with the defense secretary as all local government offices were closed on what would have been a normal business day.
Why was this?
Grant left the hotel early for the meeting and hailed one of the taxicabs waiting at the cab stand. It was a Ford Galaxy sedan that had seen service as a police car and was now painted in the company colors of red and white. The driver appeared to be entering middle age with glasses, a mustache, and a fringe of blond hair. And he wore his old style M1911A1 in a shoulder holster.
The driver asked a question.
“Where to, sir?”
“The Planetary Government Center in Landfall.”
“There are multiple buildings on the site,” said the driver, “so what department are you visiting?”
Grant answered.
“The Department of Planetary Security.”
“Okay.”
The driver switched on the meter and electric motors hummed as the cab pulled away from the hotel. But something about the way the driver responded to him seemed a bit odd to Grant. It was as if he were speaking with a long term veteran soldier.
“Is there a problem?” He asked the driver.
“No sir, it’s just that the Founders wanted to call it the War Department, but the groundhogs wouldn’t allow it.”
Grant responded.
“The Federation authorities?”
“Yes.” The driver replied.
And then the driver asked his own question.
“Are you a writer, sir?”
“Yes.” He replied. “Of military theory for the most part, of works such as On War by Clausewitz.”
The driver’s response was a surprise to him.
“Vom Kriege by General Karl Maria Von Clausewitz.” He said. “I tried several times to read the complete Standard English edition and the damned thing always put me to sleep.”
“Well military theory is not for everyone.” Grant curtly replied.
The driver quickly and clearly responded.
“The thing is that Clausewitz began to write at a time when Kant was barely cold in the ground and Hegel had just started his emissions. At that time the intellectual culture in Germany was already in deep trouble with clarity and brevity already going out of style.
Grant had not expected a lecture on intellectual history from a common working man.
But he responded.
“I wrote a book on military doctrine titled Future Forces: Organization and Doctrine.”
“I’ve read it.” Said the driver.
“So how do you feel about it?”
“I think Colonel Simmons wrote a fairly good review of it. He clearly understood how the citizens out here on the colony worlds would respond to an invasion by your Future Force but didn’t explain the why...”
Grant sneered.
“Simmons...that moron...”
The driver solidly interrupted the sneer
“I served with him when he was a battalion commander in Afghanistan--and we don’t give out Sky Blue Berets as supermarket promotional items--even to West Point graduates.”
“So you were in the Quarantine Force and then retired out here?”
“No.” The driver replied. “I enlisted here and served on Earth.”
“Why?”
The driver smiled before answering.
“Because that’s where the enemy combatants are.”
Grant thought for a moment and then spoke again.
“So you feel that the Quarantine Force are all true warriors?”
“Hell no!’ The driver suddenly snapped back. “The goal of every warrior is to impose his will upon his victims. And our mission in the Quarantine Force is to hunt down and kill warriors.”
Present tense. Grant thought. He spoke with hostility in the present tense.
Grant was now concerned for his own safety.
Is there a round in the chamber of his gun?
The cab then entered the main drive of the Planetary Government Center and stopped at the DPS Building. Grant paid the fare in cash and without a gratuity.

If someone as dumb as Barack Obama had been elected in 1940 there would now be mass graves and special camps from coast to coast and those of us left alive would have learned to speak German the hard way.

Jihad Again
The absolute first thing taught at infantry basic training during the Cold War was that the maximum effective range of an excuse is zero. On the face of it I saw this as the response to any attempt to explain a failure to learn a necessary skill. But this idea also applies to the moral nightmare we were facing during with the Communists enemy and their excuses for their crimes.
Today we are facing another and older nightmare with the onslaught of Islam.
There has been another jihad incident.
The functions of ideologies are first to erase the responsibility of the perpetrators for theirs actions and to deny the humanity of the victims. But there is never a valid excuse for murder.

Task Of The Day
Today I Printed off 50 copies of this leaflet and managed to give away 5 of them:
A Request
The very first act that every individual performs upon enlisting in the Armed Forces of the United States is promise to uphold and defend The Constitution.
For the Army the oath of enlistment was this:
I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).
All of us who served in the Armed Forces made this promise to the nation.
The time has come for us who served to keep the promise.
In 2008 it was clear to every rational observer that Barrack Obama was absolutely unfit to hold any public office. It was clear that he possessed no valid understanding of human life and of the government that protects it. It was very clear that he had been indoctrinated in the falsehoods of Marxism and was an adherent of the anti-human doctrine of Environmentalism. And finally in office he has opened the way to the nuclear arming of the Islamic dictatorship in Iran.
As President Barack Obama has acted as an adversary to the nation and a friend to our enemies and to Humanity as a whole. There is no question that he is absolutely unfit to occupy the office of President and must be removed.
Although Congress has the authority to remove a President through the process of impeachment it will not happen. The Republican Party, which actually represents the People of The United States, lacks the votes and the fortitude to carry out this task. And the other party is simply too depraved to do it.
There is no question at this point that the Armed Forces must step up and remove Obama from office. We need a military coup–right now.
Please copy and pass along.
