Extremist Militias Are Coordinating in More Than 100 Facebook Groups [More]
Anybody see any threats or incitment to commit violence, or did hyperventilating Tess Owen just pop her Rapex over nothing?
So glad to see her get an “exclusive” on Facebook gun control snitches, though…
While looking for a link to my Points question, I noticed something again today I’ve been meaning to mention for a while: Type in “Sipsey Street Irregulars” on Google and the first link that comes up goes to an SPLC post about it closing down after Mike’s death.
That means either algorithm ranking results have been manipulated to make one post outweigh Mike’s life work, or the majority of Mike’s readers didn’t regularly help him promote his work by sharing links. Noting how many of his thousands of readers didn’t step up when asked to, I’d be hard pressed to pick a reason.
Noting the importance of that work — and the way it’s now being misapplied exactly as he warned against — either reason, censorship from without or apathy from within, is one hell of a demotivator.
Yet full-scale civil war is not the only danger. Far-right Americans are highly unlikely to coalesce into a cohesive force that could wage war, but an army is not required to wreak sustained havoc and destabilize the country. [More]
Imagine if, say, just Three Percent decided enough is enough.
It would seem the best way to keep that from happening would be to stop squeezing.

That seems libelous against anyone who has identified as a Threeper, especially since anyone who actually understands what Three Percent founder Mike Vanderboegh advocated knows it is an idea, not an organization:
The Three Percent idea, the movement, the ideal, was designed to be a simple, powerful concept that could not be infiltrated or subjected to agents provocateurs like many organizations that I observed in the constitutional militia movement of the 90s… The Three Percent idea, being an idea, is internalized and finds expression in action when required without any top-down organization issuing orders.
Here’s another media lie:
She said a lot of the extremism in the U.S. is being driven by white supremacists and anti-government extremists, such as those following the Three Percenter ideology.
Vanderboegh was a Constitutionalist who rejected racism on religious, moral, and ideological grounds, identifying the judging of individuals based on that as collectivism.
Real racists and anti-government extremists hated his guts and took joy in his cancer and his death.
You don’t insult a man, and in lying about him libel others who share his beliefs, and then wish him “all the best,” all the while representing yourself as being your company’s arbiter for customer trust and safety.

Portland street mob shoots at elderly driver, accidentally kills one of their own [More]
Being part of the greatest threat and all, with literally years of close Three Percenter and Oath Keepers tie-ins, you’d think I’d know at least one violent person like this…
I don’t get it. My guns haven’t killed anyone, either.

@97percentorg On the Season 2 premiere of #TAG we’re joined by Jonathan and Geneva Solomon, the husband & wife co-owners of @redstonefirearms: California’s only Black-owned gun shop. [More]
You folks do realize 97percent is a millionaire-funded anti-gun front designed to divide the gun owner community and you’re helping to “legitimize” that among the uninformed?
It’s no coincidence their name is the antithesis of the Three Percent.
A quarter of Americans open to taking up arms against government, poll says [More]
You only need around Three Percent…
