Sun Tzu counseled that it is madness – because pointless – to directly confront a superior foe. A costumed goon with a badge and a gun, for instance. You will lose (cue Dolph Lundgren voice from Rocky IV).

But that doesn’t mean you must cooperate with said goon.

In that spirit, here are some practical tips and things to keep in mind the next time you’re compelled to interact with one of America’s Swinest:   Continue reading “The Mantra: Practical Tips for Resisting the Police State”

Freedom Outpost – by Tim Brown

The Idaho State House passed a bill on Monday by a vote of 55-13 which would make it a misdemeanor for law enforcement officials in Idaho to enforce any new federal firearm laws that restrict gun ownership or contain registration requirements. While some consider it to be only symbolic, the measure is a clear reaction to the Obama administration’s attacks on the Second Amendment.

The vote was along party lines and could bring fines up to $1,000 and jail time up to one year to sheriff’s deputies, police officers, and other government employees who would help federal agents who might attempt to confiscate newly banned firearms or ammunition.   Continue reading “Idaho Legislation Criminalizes Local Police Who Enforce New Federal Firearm Laws”

The dark claim on the day Hugo Chavez died took many by surprise.

Someone, Venezuelan government officials said, may have deliberately infected him with cancer.

Critics dismissed the accusation — first floated by then-Vice President Nicolas Maduro on March 5 — as an eleventh-hour attempt to distract Venezuelans and drum up popular support as leaders prepared to announce Chavez’s death.   Continue reading “Scientists will study possible Chavez poisoning, Venezuelan leader says”

PORTLAND, Ore., March 12 (Reuters) – Police stormed a motel room in Oregon on Tuesday to end an eight-hour standoff and arrest an ex-convict accused of killing his grandparents after they had thrown him a party to celebrate his release from prison, authorities said.

The suspect, Michael “Chadd” Boysen, 26, was taken into custody by police in the coastal town of Lincoln City, 76 miles (122 km) southwest of Portland, at about 7 p.m. local time suffering from self-inflicted knife wounds, Police Chief Keith Kilian said.   Continue reading “Michael Boysen Captured: Police Storm Oregon Motel, Arrest Fugitive Accused Of Slaying Grandparents”

A secret society is a club or organization whose activities and inner functioning are concealed from non-members. Secret Societies are organized conspiracies working in secret to achieve a hidden agenda. Members use secrecy to protect themselves and their movement. Critics view Secret Societies as malevolent organizations working against the general will of mankind. ‘ Members may be required to conceal or deny their membership, and they are often sworn to hold the society’s secrets by an oath. Violating the oath may result in the application of severe sanctions. Like the most successful forgeries, the most effective secret societies are unknown beyond their adherents. Members may be required to deny the organization itself exists.

HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) – The Federal Aviation Administration is looking for six sites to become testing grounds for unmanned aircraft systems, better known as drones.

Leaders in Huntsville have thrown the city’s name in the hat to become one of the six.

It started with a push from UA-Huntsville, but now the Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle is throwing his support behind this as well because it means more jobs.   Continue reading “Huntsville could become testing ground for drones”

WASHINGTON – Just as the United States undertakes a policy “pivot” toward Asia, which will move more American ships into the East and South China seas, Beijing is letting it be known that it is fielding its new DF-21D anti-ship missile as a threat against U.S. aircraft-carrier strike groups, according to report from Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.

The move all of a sudden casts a shadow over the platforms – the U.S. aircraft carriers and their support groups – that have allowed the U.S. to maintain military superiority in the Asia-Pacific region for generations.   Continue reading “U.S. Ships Threatened By Secret China EMPs”

AUSTIN, Texas — George Prescott Bush filed the official paperwork Tuesday to run for Texas land commissioner next year, hoping to use a little-known but powerful post to continue his family’s political dynasty in one of the country’s most-conservative states.

A Spanish-speaking attorney and consultant based in Fort Worth, Bush is considered a rising star among conservative Hispanics, and his political pedigree is hard to match. He is the grandson of former President George H.W. Bush, the nephew of former President George W. Bush and the son of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush – himself often mentioned as a 2016 presidential hopeful.   Continue reading “George P. Bush Running For Texas Land Commissioner”

I received a copy of the following graph by email.  I don’t know who prepared the graph nor can I verify the numbers presented.  However, the evidence “rings true” with me so I assume it’s correct. The implications are fairly obvious and significant:

1) The “wild west”–when virtually everyone had access to firearms–had a much lower homicide rate than was ever seen under any measure of “gun control”.   Continue reading “US Homicide Rate A.D. 1885-2012”

Dear fellow International Men and Women,

It has not been a good week for Switzerland, a country that has unfortunately seen its strong traditions of privacy and independence steadily chipped away.

Last week saw the criminal sentencing in the US of Bank Wegelin, Switzerland’s oldest bank, founded in 1741. The sentencing marks one of the final chapters of the bank’s 272 year history, which will have to shut down as a result of the case. Continue reading “A Bad Week for Switzerland – Weekly Update”

End of the American Dream – by Michael

Why does it seem like Barack Obama has been doing everything that he can to sabotage our border security and promote more illegal immigration?  The number one responsibility of the president of the United States is to defend our nation, and yet Obama stubbornly refuses to secure our borders.  In fact, he has been doing quite a bit to make it even easier for millions more drug runners, gang members and welfare parasites to enter our country illegally.  This is utter insanity.    Continue reading “11 Things That The Obama Administration Is Doing To Promote More Illegal Immigration”
