FK – The truly sad horrifying thing is most ‘parents’ now have no idea how absurd and pathetic this discussion is.
“No small shot gun, during my residence of seven years of war in America, was ever kept in the house of a backwoodsman. You will often see a boy not over ten years of age driving the cattle home, but not without a rifle on his shoulder; they never stir out on any business, or on a journey without their rifles. Practice from their infancy, teaches them all distances…
“I never in my life saw better rifles (or men who shot better) than those made in America. They are chiefly made in Lancaster, and two or three neighboring towns in that vicinity in Pennsylvania. The barrels weigh about six pounds two or three ounces and carry a ball no larger than thirty-six to the pound; at least I never saw one of a larger caliber, and I have seen many hundreds and hundreds.” – Colonel George Hanger, captain of a Hessian Jager corps of the American Revolution, as quoted in Muzzleloader Magazine’s ‘The Book of Buckskinning.’
“A well-grown boy, at the age of twelve or thirteen years, was furnished with a small rifle and shot pouch. He then became a fort soldier and had his port hole assigned to him. Hunting squirrels, turkeys and raccoons soon made him an expert in the use of his gun.” – Dr. Joseph Doddridge, in his 1824 book ‘Notes on the Settlement and Indian Wars,’ quoted in Michael Edward Nogays book ‘Every Home a Fort, Every Man a Warrior’
“Children should be educated and instructed in the principles of freedom.” – John Adams, Defense of the Constitutions, 1787
“To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.” – Richard Henry Lee (1732-1794) Founding Father
Well, it’s been a long morning. It’ll be a long afternoon posting this to various social media accounts for which I’ll get a handful of hits. If you appreciate anything I do or have done click on the PayPal or Patreon buttons and send some ones and zeros my way so I can pay my cell bill by Friday…
Just remember, no matter how much you send, I still won’t lie for you.

FK – Well he’s partly telling the truth. There was never a mythological ‘golden age’ of amerikan or any other brand of journalism. Most newspapers of the 18th and 19th centuries were founded to push one ism or another.
FK – The modern amerikan newswhore puts Pravda to shame. The average Soviet Citizen, especially the ones in its conquered satellite countries, probably knew it was bullshit.
Here half the population or more still watches or listens to mainstream crap like it was gospel from the ancient tribal propaganda, or better.
They prefer whores that lie to them because they prefer to be lied to. It’s far easier than taking on personal responsibility for the world they exist in. It’s far easier to sit on the couch and have another beer or wait for some false saviour to beam them up before things get too bad, which of course didn’t happen to their ancestors and won’t happen to their descendants yet they never catch on. Again, because it’s easier.
All this shit I lay directly at ‘They the People’s’ feet. We could easily fix our country if the so-called ‘good people’ would get off their asses, pay attention, think for themselves, cast off their ancient insanities/inanities and stand up for themselves and each other like real men and women.
After 20+ years of trying to get them to do their part without resorting to one extreme insanity or another I understand fully why and how the elites view us, the great unwashed working classes, the way they do.
Most of us have a slave mentality and fully deserve a whip across our backs.
The ‘super liberals'(communists/globalists) as he calls them are a tiny minority of our population. If Trump would bring the troops home and concentrate on our real enemies, that have white skin and were mostly born here, we could restore our Bill of Rights and have a new birth of Liberty.
And I can’t agree on the ‘leakers.’ Most sheeple are worker bees, more concerned with keeping their wages/salaries and retirement plans than doing anything that approaches being ‘right.’ That might require real sacrifice.
From one insanity to another:
FK – The brains of young children are sponges. What they are conditioned to accept may surface long afterwards, or at least seem tolerable.
As always we go from one insane extreme to another.
FK – The tool-using monkeys have always produced garbage. It’s just that nowadays we scatter it on the living room sofa or stream it live onto blank slates that aren’t ready to deal with it and wonder why all the flies are buzzing around our heads.
It’s that smell of death of empires wafting in the wind.
In my younger days the old ladies were having conniption fits over mini-skirts and bikinis and young men with long hair that they couldn’t tell from girls after growing up around civil war veterans with long hair and long beards decades before, and oh yeah, with pictures of long-haired, bearded heyzeuses on their walls.
How the wheels turn, form one cultural insanity to another.
I never took a gun to school but in the third grade I did fantasize about leading a revolution against school authorities with my grandfather’s 36″ barreled 12 ga. shotgun, complete with all of us kids dug in around the school, holding it under siege. Harbingers of future attitudes I suppose.
And the Bunkers were major commie propaganda, designed to make those who think like us look like uneducated buffoons. Sadly they’re about half right.
The real problem isn’t boundaries. The problem is being forced to lie about what we think they are or should be and all those without the backbone to stand up and do any damn thing about it.
Maybe we’re all on a ‘witch hunt”:
FK – Sit in a court proceeding sometime and listen to four or five sheeple give vastly different accounts of an event under oath and learn all about ‘objectivity.’
Thank goodness for the gods of high technology that most of them carry smart phones with built in video cameras now so we can still see arguments on fakebook over whether some Nazis in blue should really be allowed to drag their victims from their cars and beat them into submission, or way past submission just because they dissed those whose job it is to protect the interests of the state.
All this is so-much bush beating.
There’s never been an ‘un-biased’ newswhore and there never will be. I’m proudly biased toward Human Liberty and against the blue-suited Nazis that daily break their oaths by upholding evil law that serves to benefit the state and not ‘We the People(sheeple).’
Let me give you a clue: A lot of those ‘Ted X’ talkers are bullshit artists running their mouths for a check.
Each side of ‘the hill’ or the border or the ocean or cultural divide has a different set of indoctrinators that are writing on the blank slates of every generation. So not only are their fears based in what our ancestors learned in the forest and the cave but on some ancient tribal propaganda we haven’t outgrown yet or in some modern pseudo science that’s been politicized in the same way the ancient tribal propaganda was if only for slightly different means to the same end: keeping the slaves working.
What matters to the tool-using monkeys???? Thanks for the laugh of the morning.
Reality doesn’t matter to them. That’s more than obvious. They want a savior that will wave it’s magic wand and solve their problems for them or ride in on a white horse, a golden chariot or a flying saucer and alleviate them of all personal responsibility.
Again, the elites know this. That’s why they do what they do, however miss-guided they themselves usually are.
Maybe you’ll get to run for Prez someday or Prime Minister or whatever(I lose track of the country of origin of these YouTube stars) and get to tell the sheeple all the comfortable lies they want to hear and win, or tell them reality and lose.
I wore a seatbelt for years before the govt. mandated it for money. I wear a helmet on my motorcycle and bicycle even though by the action or inaction of our brain dead legislators that’s not ‘the law’ in this state.
Well, I guess that’s why I’ve failed as a journalist, I refuse to lie for anyone or anything. That’s not likely to change.
True ‘objectivity,’ whatever that is, won’t exist until we stop choosing one form of authoritarianism over another and stop doing evil in the name of making a living. None breathing today will likely breathe long enough to see that happen.
We have a representative republic, guaranteed to every state, not a democracy.
We have a Bill of Rights that acknowledges rights we are born with, not granted or created by any government.
We vote with the knowledge that voting is the most violent act anyone can participate in because voting is electing someone to hire someone to stick a government gun in our neighbors’ faces and force our version of reality on them at the threat of their very lives.
We stand ready to protect our Liberty and the Liberty of our neighbors, not destroy it, via any version of authoritarianism, of any age or place.
We are prepared with knowledge and force of arms to make war against and kill if necessary those who would destroy our Bill of Rights whether they represent domestic or foreign enemies.
We do not lie to ourselves, our families, our friends, our business associates, our descendants, our enemies, about these things and do not EVER tolerate those who would have us do so.
If the troops were fighting for our freedom they’d all be here.
