Black mobs kill 4th of July
Via Angry Mike
The threat of a repeat of black mob violence on the Fourth of July is causing at least three cities to cancel their annual Independence Day fireworks parties.
Black mob violence has marred for several years the annual holiday celebrations in the Cleveland suburb of Bedford. Almost none of which made its way to the local media. But the city council heard an earful from local residents following last year’s holiday violence.
They reported that 50 to 80 black people were hitting people in the face and disrupting the festival and surrounding areas.
“Police officers used pepper ball pellets and a taser,” said city council minutes from a special meeting in August 2012. “Even the Wal-Mart and Get-Go store had to be closed for three hours.”
“The mayor was shocked by what he had witnessed,” said the minutes.

Occupied Memphis Benefits the Confederacy
In a
report to Lincoln’s Secretary of War Stanton in late January 1863,
Assistant Secretary of War Charles A. Dana wrote: “The mania for sudden
fortunes made in cotton, raging is a vast population of Jews and Yankees
scattered throughout this whole country, and in this town [Memphis],
almost exceeding the . . . regular residents, has to an alarming extent
corrupted and demoralized the army. Every colonel, captain or
quartermaster is in secret partnership with some operator in cotton;
every soldier dreams of adding a bale to his monthly pay. I had no
conception of the extent of this evil until I came and saw for myself.”
Bernhard Thuersam, Chairman
North Carolina War Between the States Sesquicentennial Commission
"The Official Website of the North Carolina WBTS Sesquicentennial"
Occupied Memphis Benefits the Confederacy:
“Memphis
has been of more value to the Southern Confederacy since it fell into
Federal hands than Nassau,” declared General Cadwallader C. Washburn on
May 10, 1864. This statement is so paradoxical as to surprise the
general reader of Civil War history, and the conditions which prompted
it are worthy of more detailed study.
At
the beginning of the war the Union government, in deference to the
position in which the States of the upper Mississippi Valley found
themselves, took no steps to interrupt trade with the Confederacy.
Immediate severance of ante-bellum trade connections between that
section and the Lower South, it was feared, might result in the
secession of the border States.
The
Confederacy, likewise, was cognizant of the importance of the
commercial ties with the upper valley, and sought to safeguard and
strengthen them by exempting from duty practically everything produced
in that section.
The
great demand for cotton in the North and the liberal trade policy of
the Confederacy resulted in large shipments of the staple up the
Mississippi and thence to eastern manufacturing centers. While that
specie and military supplies which could be secured in exchange were
badly needed in the South, Confederate leaders soon realized that to
permit cotton to fall into the hands of the Union was to furnish the
very means for waging successful war on the South.
At
the beginning of the war, Memphis was one of the most important trade
centers of the Confederacy. [The] Confederate defeat at Shiloh on April
7, 1862 left west Tennessee open to attack . . . Memphis fell into
Federal hands on June 6, 1862 [and] from that date until the close of
the war the city was under military rule. In expectation of an early
capture of the city, “a fleet of [Northern] trading boats were anchored
behind the ironclad flotilla weeks before the fall of Memphis.”
Down
the river from Cincinnati and other Midwestern cities came flour,
coffee, meat, and salt in large quantities. The loyalty of the newcomers
was a foregone conclusion, and old merchants who desired to reopen
their stores might take the oath or buy one from corrupt Treasury
officials at prices ranging from $500 downward. Many undoubtedly took
the oath with the sole purpose of violating it by becoming mediums
through which essential supplies could be transferred to the Confederate
forces.
Sherman
took command of the city on July 21, 1862. [Though travel was] limited
to five designated roads and to daylight hours . . . A well-placed bribe
could cause almost any [Northern] guard to be unsuspecting when carts
loaded with contraband rumbled past the point of inspection. “Both
civilians and a few military officers were equally devoted to patriotism
and commerce.”
Obliging
speculators poured [gold] specie into the city in large amounts and
equally obliging “go-betweens” passed it on into the hands of the
Confederates who used it for the purchase of war supplies in northern
cities and abroad. A Negro woman was caught with a five-gallon demijohn
of brandy beneath a loose-fitting calico dress and suspected from a
girdle at the waist. On at least one occasion the hearse of a funeral
procession bore a coffin filled with medicine for General Earl Van
Dorn’s army.
Bribery
and negligence explained why the large body of [Northern] troops
stationed in Memphis were unable [to] effectively . . . patrol the roads
leading out of the city. [After the] fall of Vicksburg and Port Hudson
early in July, 1863 . . . A flood of goods immediately began to pour
into Memphis and just as promptly large quantities poured out of the
city into the waiting arms of Confederates and guerrillas.”

AR to Become 'Constitutional Carry' State
Via avordvet
Good news from Arkansascarry.com:
Good news from Arkansascarry.com:
In July, 2013, Arkansas will become the fifth state in the United States to enact “Constitutional Carry” into law. Act 746 of the 2013 General Assembly was signed into law by Governor Mike Beebe on April 4th, 2013, after receiving only one “nay” vote from the legislature.
Constitutional Carry occurs in a state when no laws exist that generally restrict the carry of handguns (open or concealed) for self-defense purposes. Arkansas law 5-73-120 currently prohibits the possession of a handgun if it is possessed “readily available for use with a purpose to employ the handgun… as a weapon against a person”, which puts the burden of proof of legal carry upon the person carrying the handgun. Act 746 changes the prohibitive language in July . . .

Sheriff says CBI advises breaking law, stolen gun owners to be victimized twice
Via LH
The Colorado Bureau of investigation “advises local law enforcement to ignore and violate new Colorado gun laws,” Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith disclosed yesterday on a Facebook post.
Furthermore, both law enforcement and gun owners who have had guns with standard capacity magazines stolen will be committing criminal acts if the gun is recovered and returned, Smith wrote in another post this morning.
Smith is one of 55 sheriffs joining in an Independence Institute “federal civil rights lawsuit against two bills passed by the Colorado legislature in March.”
“[Governor John] Hickenlooper's new laws require that every time a gun is transferred for more than 72 hours, a state background check must be conducted by an FFL dealer,” Smith advised in yesterday’s post. “When my staff inquired how law enforcement agencies were supposed to comply with that provision as they return firearms to lawful owners, the CBI representative told them law enforcement agencies were not supposed to use the system mandated by Colorado's new laws, but instead they were to conduct their own, limited (non-compliant) background check of the recipient.
“This is in direct conflict with Governor Hickenlooper's own law,” Smith asserted

Shameless: G. W. Bush Claims Snowden Hurt The Country
Instead of listing all the things that Edward Snowden has done, let’s try to list some things he hasn’t done.
- Edward Snowden never shoved interest rates into the floor and picked a replacement Federal Reserve Chairman who pretending there was no housing bubble. Snowden never took the nation into the worst recession in history.
- Edward Snowden never presided over the greatest national security failure in history. He didn’t promote the people with direct oversight into the greatest security failures into higher offices.
- Edward Snowden never claimed that we had to invade Iraq because it was likely that Saddam Hussein had unmanned aerial devices that could reach the East Coast.
- Edward Snowden never helped strongarm Congress into raiding the public of $700 billion so that he could bail out his crony friends on Wall Street.
- Edward Snowden never censored the EPA to give out false assurance to the New York City public that the air was safe to breathe in the aftermath of 9/11.
- Edward Snowden never invented a connection between Al Qaeda and Hussein’s government as a pretext for an invasion.
- Edward Snowden never sacrificed hundreds of billions of dollars, thousands of American lives and American limbs to turn a secular Iraqi dictatorship, that protected Christians from Muslims and opposed Al Qaeda successfully, to a Shiite dictatorship—complete with the same secret police and secret torture prisons—that persecutes Christians and is subject to regular fatal attacks by Al Qaeda forces.
- Edward Snowden never took a secular next-door enemy to Iran and turned it into a natural religious ally that strengthened Iran’s regional position, all at great cost in American blood and American treasure.
- Edward Snowden never suddenly reversed course, having suddenly turned a secular nation into a Shiite nation, and started supporting Sunni terrorists, such as the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda-related forces. (Obama has continued and stepped up this policy, but Bush invented it.)

Seven Dead as Egypt Protesters Mass Before Military Deadline
Egypt's army has plans to push Mohamed Morsi aside and suspend the constitution after an all but impossible ultimatum it has given the Islamist president expires in less than 24 hours, military sources told Reuters on Tuesday.
Condemning a coup against their first freely elected leader, tens of thousands of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood supporters took to the streets, clashing with opponents in several towns. But they appeared to be dwarfed by anti-government protesters who turned out in their hundreds of thousands across the nation.
Troops were on alert after warnings of a potential civil war. Seven people died in fighting in Cairo suburbs and hundreds were wounded in the provinces.
Morsi defied a demand by the armed forces chief on Monday that he agree to share power with his opponents within 48 hours or have the generals take charge. Calling the army statement misleading and divisive, he said he would stick to his own plan.
But time has all but run out for Morsi, as liberal leaders are refusing to talk to him. Opponents have been dancing in the streets since the intervention by General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
Military sources told Reuters that, assuming the politicians failed to end a year of deadlock under Morsi before Wednesday's 5 p.m. (1500 GMT) deadline, the generals had their own draft programme ready to implement - though it could be fine-tuned in consultation with willing political parties.
Under the roadmap, the military would install an interim council, composed mainly of civilians from different political groups and experienced technocrats, to run the country until an amended constitution was drafted within months.

Cutting off aid to the whole world is fine with me, but we need to keep our noses out of other people's business for a change.
The United States urged Egypt’s President Mohammed Morsy to call early elections with anti-government demonstrations intensifying and the Egyptian military pressuring him to resolve the situation, senior administration officials told CNN privately.
"We are saying to him, 'Figure out a way to go for new elections,'" one senior official said on Tuesday. "That may be the only way that this confrontation can be resolved."
The source asked not to be identified due to the diplomatic sensitivity of the matter.
But publicly, the administration pushed back at the characterization that urged early elections.
State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki went so far as to say reports saying so were inaccurate.
“It's not up to the U.S. to make that decision or to make that call,” Psaki said.

It might behoove us to look a little closer at the nature of revolution in order to predict where all of this is likely headed.

Four Levels of Warfare
Most
military strategists identify four levels of conflict; (1) nuclear war
is the trump card of all conflict; (2) conventional warfare; (3)
guerrilla warfare; and, (4) terrorism.
It
is safe to say that if our country does indeed descend into revolution,
nuclear war will not come into play, for if it did, there would be
nothing to rule over in the aftermath.
The
United States has witnessed civil war of a conventional nature In the
1860′s as two mighty armies of that era locked horns in what proved to
be the conflict in which America suffered her greatest loss of life. In
the Civil War, both sides had equivalent weaponry and as a result
employed conventional tactics. However, given the disparity of
technology and resources between the people the globalist controlled
forces of the government, a conventional war would prove to be a
disaster for the rebel forces. If key elements of the military were to
break away and support the people, perhaps a conventional war would
unfold. However, it is not likely that the upcoming civil war will be
conventional as it is not probable that the military will bifurcate and
turn in on itself. The likely mode of the revolutionary war conflict
facing the people of the United States is that it will consist of either
guerrilla warfare or terrorism.

The Mindset of the Left
Via WiscoDave
by Thomas Sowell
When teenage thugs are called "troubled youth" by people on the political left, that tells us more about the mindset of the left than about these young hoodlums.
Seldom is there a speck of evidence that the thugs are troubled, and often there is ample evidence that they are in fact enjoying themselves, as they create trouble and dangers for others.
Why then the built-in excuse, when juvenile hoodlums are called "troubled youth" and mass murderers are just assumed to be "insane"?
At least as far back as the 18th century, the left has struggled to avoid facing the plain fact of evil -- that some people simply choose to do things that they know to be wrong when they do them. Every kind of excuse, from poverty to an unhappy childhood, is used by the left to explain and excuse evil.
All the people who have come out of poverty or unhappy childhoods, or both, and become decent and productive human beings, are ignored. So are the evils committed by people raised in wealth and privilege, including kings, conquerors and slaveowners.
Why has evil been such a hard concept for many on the left to accept? The basic agenda of the left is to change external conditions. But what if the problem is internal? What if the real problem is the cussedness of human beings?

That New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, principal stakeholder in Mayors Against Illegal [read “Your”] Guns, was expecting a bumpy ride for his 25-state, 100-day “No More Names” bus tour was evident from the start.

Their obvious intent was minimize the chances of gun rights supporters having time to organize spotlight-stealing counter-demonstrations to piggyback off Hizzoner’s investment and get media play for their talking points, too. Not that much organizing has been needed to counter the “crowds” the tour has managed to attract to date, where closely-cropped publicity photos mask the pathetically sparse attendance.
“I was in Raleigh … giving a talk to Grassroots North Carolina,” economist and author John Lott wrote on his blog. “Apparently just that day MAIG was having their bus tour in Raleigh and … the GRNC was able to get more people at the event than could MAIG.”

He’s got a long list of complaints against federal officers who patrol the forest.
“They want to know what you’re doing here, where you’re going, do you have any firearms on board.”
It appears this exploding confrontation between Sheriff John D’Agostini and the U.S. Forest service may come down to guns, and the right to carry them, and whether U.S. citizens are allowed to bring them onto federal land.

University Tells Student to Remove Cross Necklace
A Sonoma State University student has filed a religious accommodation request after she said she was ordered to remove her cross necklace because it might offend other students.
“It’s amazing in this day of diversity and tolerance on university campuses that a university official would engage in this type of obvious religious discrimination,” said Liberty Institute attorney Hiram Sasser.
Liberty Institute is representing Audrey Jarvis, 19, a liberal arts major at the northern California university.
On June 27 Jarvis was working for the university’s Associated Students Productions at a student orientation fair for incoming freshmen. During the event, her supervisor directed her to remove the cross necklace.
Sasser said the supervisor told her that the chancellor had a policy against wearing religious items and further explained “that she could not wear her cross necklace because it might offend others, it might make incoming students feel unwelcome, or it might cause incoming students to feel that ASP was not an organization they should join.”
“My initial reaction was one of complete shock,” Jarvis told Fox News. “I was thrown for a loop.”

Was it justice when he took control in

was found innocent they were still swarmed by his lawless followers in the
streets outside the courthouse who put tires around their necks & set them
on fire burning those people to death?
Was it justice that South Africa`s smartest & brightest have done whats called the " chicken walk " by leaving everything they own & fleeing to another country penniless in order to save their families lives?
Is it justice that South Africa has sunk into 3rd world status now that its out from under colonial rule free & starving to death?

Violence as tool for survival
When someone says „survivalist“ or „prepper“ most of the folks see man with whole bunch of weapons. Lot of people see us as a guys who are „trigger happy“ people.
To some point it is true, and I strongly believe that preppers and survivalists need to be armed very good, and educated about use of weapons too. They are tools for certain situations.
But using violence is completely different thing, or to be more accurate decision to use violence and to what extent is big thing, and very often usage of weapon can mean death to you too, so choose wisely.
To be ready to use violence on fast and efficience way requires lot of things, things like training, choose of right weapon-force, will to use it and also need to use it.
I have seen many situations where people get killed simply because they choose to use violence in situation when violence was not only option, or was not best option. Simply situation could be solved with other means, not with weapons and violence.
It is about survival, and when there is a risk of losing your life if you choose violence, be ready to look for other solutions.
It may sound to you maybe like „weak“ thing but point is to have your weapon ready, but to look first for other options of solving the problems.

Then it winds its way across the width of New York State, charging past the airport in Toledo, through the flatlands of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and Wyoming, snaking down the mountain passes and switchbacks above Salt Lake City, across the Nevada deserts and over to Sacramento, then down the highway toward San Jose and off at the California 237 exit, headed for Mountain View.
Neither Jim nor Carla Cline, a married couple who take turns at the wheel, has the slightest inkling that the large wooden crate in the back of their truck might radically change how we see our world.

Buyers’ Re-Morsy: We need Buyers' Re-Obamasy
Via Daily Timewaster
"So, 17 million Egyptians, give or take, took to the streets to protest the incompetence and nastiness of the Muslim Brotherhood regime, and the Worldwide Leader in News (as well as other broadcast outlets) and such online outfits as Politico had nothing to say about it all day long—a day when they had nothing new to report from the ridiculous George Zimmerman trial. Why the reticence?
Because Dear Leader had helped to install it, one can only suppose, and is now in Africa, where US television networks also didn't report South Africans demonstrating against Obama himself in the streets and receiving stun grenades and rubber bullets by way of response. At Weasel Zippers, a poster apologized for using Iran's state TV footage of the protests, because Western news outlets were ignoring them, by and large. Those protests took place notwithstanding Obama's announcement of a $7 billion US taxpayer commitment to expand African power generation capacity, days after Obama unilaterally had announced he was driving up the cost of power in the US by reducing its availability.
A leaked Libyan security memo, if it is genuine, claimed that the Benghazi attack was arranged at the behest of Egyptians, including Morsi, according to perpetrators in the government's custody, whom our President had solemnly vowed to track down, apprehend, and punish, fueling speculation that a hostage swap was behind the incident. A Cairo protest outside the US Embassy earlier on the day of the Americans' death was used as evidence for the lie that the Benghazi atrocity had begun as a copycat protest over a YouTube posting of a trailer for the absurd Innocence of Muslims movie, with which the administration had nothing to do."
