Notes from the Resistance
As an alternative to carrying a gun, Hemenway suggests women who feel threatened choose a different route or run during the day, in groups. If a woman feels she needs protection, “bear spray is much safer to use and just as effective as a gun would be,” he says. [More]
Sometimes, all you need to do is present… and he doesn’t seem to factor in multiple assailants.
I wonder how he’d fare…
Who’d pay good money to watch?

New York’s new gun law will remain in effect for now after a federal appeals court on Wednesday agreed to temporarily reverse a lower court’s order blocking the law’s central provisions while a legal challenge by a gun-owners’ rights group proceeds. [More]
The city knows it’s breaking the law. The court knows it’s breaking the law.
Funny, how the only people that can go to jail are the ones breaking an illegal law…

Such views have gained increasing numbers of adherents on the internet in recent years, especially with the rise of once-fringe candidates like Donald Trump who come to power while peddling racist myths. [More]
That statement is “news” and not “editorial”? Because what’s that say about people who support Trump’s campaign platform?
And how is this plan (flawed as it is) any worse than the one in place?
That said, Peter Liu’s rhetoric has guaranteed he can’t be elected dog catcher and based on all things considered he’s shown himself to be the wrong person to put that plan into action anyway.

The Left’s Funny New Lie: It’s The ‘Red States’ With More Crime! [More]
Factor out what’s happening in Bloomberg cities and armed-to-the-teeth Normal America ends up pretty safe until some out-of-control Democrat starts acting up.
I wonder what would be revealed if someone juxtaposed red and blue areas against a corresponding Neighborhood Scout crime map…

It can’t have anything to do with environmentalcase forestry practices, can it? And ultimately, assuming it’s lightning and not an illegal alien or a government worker with a hero complex sparking things off, isn’t Mother Earth herself to blame?

On a side note to the last post, the video of my interview has been “disappeared” along with the rest of the terminated YouTube account. When looking to see if it’s posted anywhere else, I happened across this years-old commie hit piece about the Las Vegas murders that I’d been previously unaware of, which included Alex Jones and me among its targets:
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, the other far-Right trolls, ISIS, were quick to claim that not only the attack was carried out in it’s name, but that also the shooter had converted is Islam months ago. However, according to both the FBI and other law enforcement, this is simply not the case. In the past, ISIS was also claimed other horrific acts in it’s name, despite there being no connection. Many on the Right however refused to accept this. Writing for the Oath Keepers militia, David Codrea wrote:
News services are scrambling to uncover what happened in last night’s massacre in Las Vegas, to be first in revealing some unknown dimension to a story that has the attention of the world. That’s led to conflicting accounts about the shooter—or in some accounts “shooters, and about motives (ISIS has already claimed responsibility, which the FBI denies) and about practically everything.
The blame and hatred coming from the citizen disarmament camp is palpable. Celebrities are piling on. Politicians and gun-grab zealots are dancing in the blood, which they blame on NRA, on “conservatives,” on whites, and on anyone else the collectivists choose to smear as “Nazis” and “fascists.”
Codrea’s rant ends with stating that the “hard left” (by this he means, the Democratic Party), will soon move to take away guns from American citizens, a common refrain from the militia movement, and a central concept within white nationalist literature, such as The Turner Diaries.
Nothing I wrote was untrue. Yet according to this anonymous “anarchist,” presenting both sides equates with refusing to accept, and citing tactics, smears, and documented citizen disarmament end goals equates with a racist rant.
According to them, a fascist is someone who wants to limit government power. A racist is someone who advocates for the most egalitarian power-sharing arrangement ever conceived.
Consider the source:
It’s Going Down is a digital community center from anarchist, anti-fascist, autonomous anti-capitalist and anti-colonial movements. Our mission is to provide a resilient platform to publicize and promote revolutionary theory and action.
Kurt Hofmann’s adage comes to mind.
Alex Jones ordered to pay nearly $1 billion to families of Sandy Hook massacre victims [More]
I’ve never particularly been a Jones enthusiast– I know Mike didn’t much care for him but I was on his program once and was happy for the opportunity. That said, what you or I think of the guy is irrelevant to this, the most absurdly disproportionate, dangerous, and un-American verdict order I have ever heard of. That it would be countenanced in a U.S. court shows how serious the power structure is to shut down forbidden speech.
How many of Jones’ “millions” of followers committed an illegal act? How many “threats” were actually sentiments? How many transitioned into actual meatspace attacks?
And as long as I dragged Mike’s name into this, he knew what it was like to be blamed for the actions of others.
Who does the Jones verdict and sentence chill and discourage? Who is turning cartwheels?
Time was the left at least pretended to be all about free speech. That’s for the benefit of the useful idiots and to accelerate social degradation — until there’s the confidence that masks can be dropped, as just happened with this order.

That’s how homegrown commies libel mainstream Republicans, so you can imagine what they call you. [More]
You don’t have to imagine. They call Oath Keepers that, even though:
No person who advocates, or has been or is a member, or associated with, any organization, formal or informal, that advocates discrimination, violence, or hatred toward any person based upon their race, nationality, creed, or color, shall be entitled to be a member or associate member.
It’s almost like MoveOn.org is comprised entirely of lying f***ing communist traitors and their useful idiots or something.

“If you stray from a party position, you are annihilated.” [More]
That’s not what did it.
You flat-out lied to people to get their support and then you betrayed them.
And your calculated excuse shows you’re still lying, which makes the photo AP used all the more telling.
Look for this quisling to find his place as yet another token DSM “conservative.” It looks from this like he’s auditioning and they’re testing how useful he can be…
