Smoke Em' While You Can

Michael Anthony Henderson Jr, 19, was shot dead.

Once again the Castle Doctrine saves lives along with guns.  In Henderson, NC an 14 yr old stood his ground.

Police in North Carolina revealed a 14-year-old boy shot dead an intruder attempting to break into his home while he and his sister were alone.


The teen opened fire with a shotgun while his 17-year-old sister hid in a closet as a gang of men attempted to smash their way into their home

Now what is jacked is the the below from the 911 call by the dispatcher. There were still 3 other roaming around that came with the dead one.

'Do not, while I’m on the phone, do not fire that firearm, OK?' the dispatcher says

In the call, the teen, says: 'I just shot the man. He came around the corner. I shot him. He broke the whole glass out (of the back door).'


He continues: 'I don't know how many it was (who broke in). Just one came around the corner. I got one more in the chamber. I'm going to shoot again,' the boy said.

Nil Desperandum

I found this over at Oathkeepers and thought it was appropriate. 

When in the darkest hours of the year 1772, when disunion against British tyranny seemed eminent, Warren of Plymouth was desponding and said:

"The towns are dead and cannot be raised without a miracle."

Samuel Adams responded: "I am very sorry to find in you the least approach towards despair. Nil desperandum (never despair) is a model for you and me. All are not dead; and where there is a spark of patriotic fire, we will rekindle it." (Bancroft"History of the United States" Vol. III pg. 426)

Down Range: Prepping for Free

via Down Range

I hear a lot of issues about money when it comes to preps. Here is an idea which is free.
I have spent a lot of time living in the field and eating bland food's, one thing I learned is little things make all the difference when it comes to food. I have also eaten MRE's for years in the field and one thing that is traded the most between troops is the condiment packets, nothing makes the crackers taste better than peanut butter or jelly.

Most of the times when you go to a fast food restaurant we get those little packets of ketchup, mayo, salt, pepper, relish, honey, jelly and crackers you can even find packets of soy sauce, duck sauce, vinegar etc. In hotels and some restaurants you get packets of coffee, tea, hot chocolate mix, sugar, mints etc.

Instead of throwing them away take them home and drop them in a bag or box. We like to prep with jars of this kind of thing but the little packets would be very handy in certain instances like camping or hiking or living on the move. For the most part they should last a very long time. A little packet of jelly has about 50 calories and a ketchup packet is about 15 calories. Trust me if you were eating beans and rice every day a small amount of sauce would make a huge difference to the taste. Homeless people make soup out of these little packets mixed with hot water

The Teetering of the 5th

A federal judge will be deciding if the 5th Amendment is thrown out the window.

They have trashed every other Amendment that protects liberties, right?  Why not get rid of them all?

or will we let it bleed us to death?

Federal prosecutors want a judge to order a Colorado woman to provide the password to decrypt her laptop, which the government seized with a search warrant.

With backup from digital rights groups, the woman is fighting the feds, arguing that being forced to provide her password violates the Fifth Amendment’s protection against forced self-incrimination.

Colorado U.S. District Judge Robert Blackburn is expected to rule any day on whether to force defendant Ramona Fricosu to decrypt her Toshiba Satellite M305, which authorities seized from her in 2010 with a court warrant while investigating financial fraud.

Drug Bust or A Case of Self Defence

Does the below paragraph sound familiar???????

The team serving the search warrant involved officers from the Weber-Morgan Narcotics Strike Force. The force's website says the unit is made up of officers from the Weber County Sheriff's Office, local police departments and the federal Drug Enforcement Agency.

A shooting in Ogden that killed an officer and wounded five other drug task force members and a suspect was sparked when officers tried to search the house where the suspect apparently lives, authorities said Thursday at a news conference.


Stewart suffered injuries that are not life threatening, though it's unclear if he was shot. He is in a hospital under guard.


"It's a very, very sad day for Ogden," said Ogden Police Chief Wayne Tarwater.
Authorities said the conditions of the others officers range from serious to critical.

The officers went to the house Wednesday evening intending to search it as part of an drug-related investigation. When there was no answer, they entered and were fired upon.

And another example of the type & skill set of shooting that the police have.  That once a year qual type of skills.  Even for the SWAT team. LOL :)  I wonder how many rounds they sprayed?  My guess is that they each empties their mags with VERY minimal effect.


From what I have read online, all I can find is that they were serving a drug search warrant.  No mentions if any were actually found.

Citizen Attacks Cop On Youtube Video

What's interesting is this man comes out of nowhere.

Once again, citizens are getting fed up with the CopDom crap LEO's are doing against them.

via Photog Not a Crime

A video posted on Youtube shows a pair of Baltimore police officers struggling with a suspect before another man walks up and punches one of the officers in the face, prompting the two officers to turn their attention to him, apparently allowing the first man to go free.

One of is the officers is on his back with the second suspect on top of him when a third cop runs up and kicks him in the face, which allows them to eventually handcuff and detain him.

There is not much more information on the incident, according to The Baltimore Sun, which still hasn’t determined when the incident took place. The video was uploaded to Youtube early this morning.

Pentagon to Send US Troops to Israel

Yep...It was a matter of time.  We all knew it.

via Global Research

In one of the most blacked-out stories in America right now, the US military is preparing to send thousands of US troops, along with US Naval anti-missile ships and accompanying support personnel, to Israel.

It took forever to find a second source for confirmation of this story and both relatively mainstream media outlets are in Israel. With one source saying the military deployment and corresponding exercises are to occur in January, the source providing most of the details suggests it will occur later this spring. Calling it not just an “exercise”, but a “deployment”, the Jerusalem Post quotes US Lt.-Gen Frank Gorenc, Commander of the US Third Air Force based in Germany. The US Commander visited Israel two weeks ago to confirm details for “the deployment of several thousand American soldiers to Israel.” In an effort to respond to recent Iranian threats and counter-threats, Israel announced the largest ever missile defense exercise in its history. Now, it’s reported that the US military, including the US Navy, will be stationed throughout Israel, also taking part.

While American troops will be stationed in Israel for an unspecified amount of time, Israeli military personnel will be added to EUCOM in Germany. EUCOM stands for United States European Command.

Kodak Preparing for Chapter 11 Filing

And another one bites the dust...

Eastman Kodak Co. is preparing for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy-protection filing in the coming weeks should efforts to sell a trove of digital patents fall through, people familiar with the matter said.

The struggling photography icon, which employs about 19,000 people, is in discussions with potential lenders for around $1 billion in so-called debtor-in possession financing that would keep it afloat during bankruptcy proceedings, the people said. A filing could occur as soon as this month or early February, one of the people said.

Dallas teen missing since 2010 was mistakenly deported by Houston ICE agents

ICE won't deport illegal immigrants, they rubber stamp questionable applications and now they are deporting US citizens.

What next??????

“It's very frustrating," Lorene Turner said.

She has spent hours on Facebook trying to find her granddaughter, Jakadrien.

"Once I get home I am up until 3 or 4 in the morning searching and looking," Turner said. "It's all I can think about. Finding my baby."

Turner has been searching for Jakadrien since the fall of 2010, when she ran away from home. She was 14 years old and distraught over the loss of her grandfather and her parents’ divorce.

Turner searched for months for a clue.

"God just kept leading me," she said. "I wake up in the middle of the night and do whatever God told me to do, and I found her."

Turner said with the help of Dallas police, she found her granddaughter in the most unexpected place - Colombia.

Where she had mistakenly been deported by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in April of 2011.

"They didn't do their work," Turner said. "How do you deport a teenager and send her to Colombia without a passport, without anything?"

News 8 learned that Jakadrien somehow ended up in Houston, where she was arrested by Houston police for theft. She gave Houston police a fake name. When police in Houston ran that name, it belonged to a 22-year-old illegal immigrant from Columbia, who had warrants for her arrest.

So ICE officials stepped in.

News 8 has learned ICE took the girl's fingerprints, but somehow didn't confirm her identity and deported her to Colombia, where the Colombian government gave her a work card and released her.

"She talked about how they had her working in this big house cleaning all day, and how tired she was," Turner said.

Through her granddaughter’s Facebook messages, Turner says she tracked Jakadrian down.

U.S. Federal authorities got an address. U.S. Embassy officials in Colombia asked police to pick her up.

But that was a month ago, and the Colombian government now has her in a detention facility and won't release her, despite her family's request.

"I feel like she will come home," the grandmother said with tears in her eyes. "I just need help and prayer.”

There are still many unanswered questions about how an African-American girl who speaks no Spanish is mistaken for a foreign national. Immigration officials are investigating and released a statement late Tuesday.
"ICE takes these allegations very seriously," said ICE Director of Public Affairs Brian Hale. " At the direction of [the Department of Homeland Security], ICE is fully and immediately investigating this matter in order to expeditiously determine the facts of this case."

ICE officials also noted there have been instances where ICE has seen cases of individuals providing inaccurate information regarding who they are and their immigration status for ulterior motives.

Yankee paper money & war-mongering in the Colonial era

The difference between then & now.....Dates

via SNN

The history of US aggressive war-making has been closely linked to central banking, inflation and government debt. These are the ways that US wars have been funded. The history of this link has been traced by Dr Murray Rothbard, a New York professor, author and one of the leading economists and libertarian theorists of the twentieth century, to the Massachusetts Colony. Rothbard credits the Yankees of Massachusetts with the distinction of being the first people in the history of the world to fund aggressive war by printing paper money. The Massachusetts Colony was accustomed to hiring mercenaries which they sent out on raids against the prosperous French people of Quebec. The mercenaries were allowed to keep a portion of what they could steal from the Quebecers. After being repelled by the French colonists, the Yankee plunderers went back to Boston and demanded payment. Rather than raise taxes on its people, the Massachusetts government simply printed up un-backed paper currency (which quickly de-valued and left those holding the paper currency with an increasingly worthless piece of paper). The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (one of the branches of the US central bank) on its website credits Massachusetts with in 1690 “issue[ing] the first paper money in the colonies which would later form the United States.” The other colonies learned from the example of Massachusetts and began printing their own worthless paper currency to fund various government programs. Finally the British Empire stepped in and put a stop to all this monetary inflation.

In April of 2010 Dr Thomas DiLorenzo, the author of The Real Lincoln and Lincoln Unmasked, gave a speech entitled “War and Inflation: Financing the Empire” in which he proceeds from the above early example of the Yankee’s penchant for money manipulation and imperialism to the Hamiltonians and Federalists to the Whig Party, Lincoln’s Republicans, the Progressives and on down to today. The pattern is unmistakable, as is the desire by people like Hamilton, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Wilson, Franklin D Roosevelt and those of their ilk to expand the power and control of the US government, use it to benefit their friends and supporters, and re-organise society as they see fit. If you think about it, there are very strong connections between this mentality and that of the Yankee founding fathers in Massachusetts.

Could Ron Paul Still Win Iowa?

Business Insider has a write up that Ron Paul may ultimately win Iowa.  The caucus is non-binding and what matters is the county delegates.  Below is what the senior campaign manager told the supporters.

That's because Iowa's Republican caucuses are non-binding — they are technically just a straw poll, so once selected, delegates are free to vote for whichever presidential candidate they choose.

"Part of what we've been training the Ron Paul people to do is not to leave after the vote," Dan Godzich, a senior campaign advisor, told BI. "Stay and get elected to the conventions and get us those delegates."

UPDATE: 1:40 a.m.
Sources close to the Paul campaign indicated Tuesday that they were happy with their delegate count. Although we couldn't get specific numbers, a source told Business Insider that Paul nailed down the delegates in all of Iowa's smaller counties, and made a strong showing in several larger .

It's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out.

 Alright, got your attention, maybe a little misleading but something to ponder. I have long been a fan of shotguns for defense, I know they have limits for range but if you think about it there is no other gun which has the capability to deliver 2 shots faster than a double barrel, in fact most can fire both barrels at the same time and with 00 Buck there is nothing than can come close to delivering 18 chunks of 30+ caliber lead down range faster.

Franky the drug dog's supersensitive nose is at the heart of a question being put to the U.S. Supreme Court: Does a police dog's sniff outside a house give officers the right to get a search warrant for illegal drugs, or is the sniff an unconstitutional search?

Florida's highest state court has said Franky's ability to detect marijuana growing inside a Miami-area house from outside a closed front door crossed the constitutional line. The state's attorney general wants the Supreme Court to reverse that ruling.

Что это будет коммунистический мудак делать дальше

Looks like obama is once again reaching up his ass to pull out a new unconstitutional power grab.

via Big Government

Others are more brazenly calling for the president to invoke presidential powers never before contemplated. Some have even suggested the president declare the Congress in recess, like a tinhorn dictator from a Third World country.

But even invoking the so-called “Roosevelt Option” may not solve the liberals’ conundrum. Sources tell Capitol Confidential that the statute creating the CFPB demands that the director be confirmed by the Senate—not installed via recess appointment—to trigger the agency’s shift from Treasury to the Fed and empower the Director.

But none of the legal or constitutional arguments may matter much. Liberals and the Obama administration appear poised to forge ahead with an outrageous and unconstitutional power grab. And by the time the courts work it out, so much damage will already be done.

So, let’s be clear about what is happening here: The President of the United States is planning to use an obscure precedent to claim that a split second in time empowers him to go around Congress to appoint a director to an agency that has broad unchecked, almost dictatorial powers to regulate business in America with little or no oversight from the peoples’ representatives in Congress.

Such actions by the president would be an open declaration of war on constitutional principles and completely undermine our system of checks and balances. These kinds of power grabs are exactly how Banana Republics are born.

General Jackson, from Gods and Generals:

Colonel Stuart, if I had my way we would show no quarter to the enemy. No more than the redskin showed your troopers. The black flag, sir. If the North triumphs, it is not alone the destruction of our property, it is the prelude to anarchy, infidelity and the ultimate loss of free and responsible government on this continent. It is the triumph of commerce, banks and the factory. We should meet the Federal invaders on the outer verge of just and right defence, and raise at once the black flag. No quarter to the violators of our homes and firesides. Our political leadership in Richmond is too timid to face the reality of the coming war. They should look to the Bible. It is full of such wars. Only the black flag will bring the North quickly to their senses and rapidly end the war.

When he was finally released on November 27, 1862 he wrote:

"We came out of prison just as we had gone in, holding the same just scorn and detestation [for] the despotism under which the country was prostrate, and with a stronger resolution that ever to oppose it by every means to which, as American freemen, we had the right to resort."

Police are taking steps to protect an Albany police officer whose family has received threats after he was publicly identified for using pepper spray to quell Occupy Albany protesters last week.

A "wanted" poster seeking information including the home address, telephone numbers and "map to home" of Officer Richard Gorleski was posted Wednesday on a Facebook page used by Occupy Albany.

Gorleski's address and telephone numbers are not publicly listed. But Gorleski's father, a Troy resident who has the same first name as his son, began receiving unsettling telephone calls from blocked numbers this week.
