WiscoDave: "The Armorer"
Just wanted to update everyone on the III to III Mission of WiscoDave, henceforth known among our Tribe here as "The Armorer". Below are some pics of the plates that arrived today. We received about 16 sets, more than enough to equip every unit member, (and some wives) with protection equal to what many OPFOR use. In the pics you can see the base plate, nice smooth cut and perfect size for any standard plate carrier. I used a little spray cleaner and then some WD40. They look great. I will begin distributing these today. Anti-frag coating will be added later. They will only go to Patriots who will fight for liberty in our AO.
I can not thank WiscoDave enough for this incredibly generous support. Keep in mind this is a Patriot who has never attended one of our FTXs or Musters. I have not met him in person or shaken his hand. (yet) But with this act he has cemented a place with our tribe. We will always have a billet open for him and his family if they ever need it, for ANY reason. If he needs us we will come. He LITERALLY went out of his way, and out on a limb to SAVE the LIVES of Patriots in the coming ruckus.
How many of us can say the same? I am humbled and honored to have crossed digital paths with such a great Man. He will deny it, and try to shift credit somewhere else, but my folks know who arranged this, and who to thank. To any others who assisted in the endeavor, you have our gratitude as well (Doc). I will try to get more pics with some of our folks wearing the plates in the near future. I know many of us have spoken of III to III, WiscoDave proves that some of us can LIVE IT as well.
Thanks again WiscoDave, you are officially the man.
Montani Semper Liberi.

Shoeless Southerners and a Vast New Market for Northern Goods
The
poverty of the American South complained of by FDR had been caused by
the destruction and rapine wrought by Grant and Sherman’s armies; it
would be more accurate to state that instead of being liberated, the
black race merely acquired new masters. Those black people were already
Christianized and educated in practical pursuits, but Northern
emissaries would help them become consumers of Northern-made goods.
Bernhard Thuersam
Shoeless Southerners and a Vast New Market for Northern Goods
“Some
years ago Secretary of Labor Francis Perkins raised the temperature of
many Southerners to fever height by suggesting that if the people of
that section could be persuaded to wear shoes a veritable “social
revolution” would result. The mass-production system of the United
States, the secretary told a welfare council in May, 1933, depends upon
purchasing power, the proper development of which would lead to
prosperity beyond anything we “have ever dared to dream of.”
If
the wages of the millworkers of the South could be raised to such a
level that they could afford shoes, a great demand for footwear would
result. Indeed, said the secretary, when it is realized that “the whole
South is an untapped market for shoes” it becomes clear that great
“social benefits” and “social good” would inevitably come from the
development of our “mass-production system” to meet this latent
consuming power.
Southern
editors and speakers indignantly denied the canard that Southerners
bought no shoes and retorted that such comments were only what might
have been expected from a woman, especially one who knew nothing about
the South.
It
was even suggested that should all the inhabitants of the South
suddenly wake to wearing shoes the resultant wear and tear on streets,
sidewalks, and hotel carpets might cause grave financial loss to the
area.
That
was in 1933 . . . [and it was maintained that] Markets can only exist
where there is demand; demand comes close upon the heels of knowledge.
Knowledge, or education in the ways of the West, has therefore been
considered essential if “backward” peoples are to be induced to purchase
western goods. [Henry M.] Stanley, the African explorer, in an address
before the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, published in 1884 [asserted]
that if Christian missionaries should clothe naked Negroes of the
Congo, even in one dress for use on the Sabbath, “320,000,000 yards of
Manchester cotton cloth” would be required . . . Should they become
sufficiently educated in the European moral code to feel the necessity
for a change of clothing every day, cloth to the value of [26 million
pounds] a year would be necessary.
When
the natives have been educated they would abandon their idleness and
sloth, [John Williams, missionary to Tahiti said in 1817], and become
industrious workers. Then, he asserted, they will apply to our
merchants for goods . . . “
[When
FDR called for a New Deal in the South] He certainly must have been
aware of the implications of the thesis that the poorly housed,
undernourished, and ill-clad Southerner must be given greatly increased
purchasing power to enable him to better his economic condition, thus
strengthening the demand for manufacture products and consequently
improving the economy of the nation as a whole.
It
is also certain that the concern which Secretary Perkins felt for the
shoeless Southerner was not without precedent. When the armies of Grant
and Sherman liberated the Southern Negro, the economic implications
were not lost on the people of the victorious section. Following in the
wake of the Union armies a host of teachers and missionaries flocked to
the South, determined to Christianize and educate the freed Negro . . .
with a decidedly abolitionist tinge, to be sure.
[These]
people, their robes of self-righteousness wrapped firmly around them . .
. carried with them the New England school, complete with curriculum,
texts and method, but they also took with them the attitudes and beliefs
of the social reformer and, specifically, the militant abolitionist.
Politically, the teachers and missionaries became the tools of the
[Republican] Radicals in their program of reconstruction . . .
Sensing
in the alphabet and the book the key to the white man’s position of
dominance, the open-sesame which would unlock the magic door of equality
and wealth, the Negro, like the Polynesian, flocked to the church and
the school. As one observer wrote, the “spelling book and primer”
seemed to them Alladin’s [sic] lamp, which will command over all the
riches and glory of the world. In brief, they believed that education
was “the white man’s fetich,” which would guarantee wealth, power, and
social position.
Some
of the teachers [and missionaries] understood the inevitable result of
the extension of freedom, Christianity, and education to the Negro – the
development of a vast new market for northern goods, which would result
in great profits to northern mills.”

Surprise! Barry Soetoro Voter Registration FOIA Request Denied By DC Election Board
A few weeks ago we reported a bizarre story about Barry Soetoro being registered to vote in Washington D.C. Soetoro was registered with a White House address and had Barack Obama’s August 4, 1961 birthdate. We know that the birthdate was the same because that information was required to do a search.
Before I go on. For those of you who are not aware, Barry Soetoro is Barack Obama. The Soetoro name was taken from his adopted father while the young Barack was in Indonesia. And now that I’ve cleared that up… There are those in the blogging community who were not willing to accept the fact that the registration was removed a few days after being discovered. They wanted answers and rightfully so. Sonoran News, who originally broke the story, sent a Freedom of Information Act request to attempt to get those answers. Linda Bentley reports:

Unbelievable: Military teaches colonists were 'extremists': Training documents say discussing liberty also a dangerous sign
The die is cast. There is only one way out of this, as our institutions have been thoroughly infiltrated by Marxists.
The colonists who came to the New World and built the foundations of what now is the United States were “extremists,” and discussions that include mention of “individual liberties” are a dangerous sign, according to the U.S. government.
The education materials that originate with the Department of Defense depict conservative organizations as “hate groups” and cite the Southern Poverty Law Center, which was named in a federal court case for having identified the Family Research Council as a “hate group” simply for adhering to a biblical perspective on homosexuality.
The documents were obtained by Judicial Watch, the government corruption monitor.
JW said it obtained the records under a Freedom of Information Act request that was launched months ago. The request asked for records “concerning, regarding, or related to the preparation and presentation of training materials on hate groups or hate crimes distributed or used by the Air Force.”
The 133 pages make up a January “Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute” “student guide” called “extremism.”
For example, it warns: “Nowadays, instead of dressing in sheets or publically (sic) espousing hate messages, many extremists will talk of individual liberties, states’ rights, and how to make the world a better place.”
And it adds: “In U.S. history, there are many examples of extremist ideologies and movements. The colonists who sought to free themselves from British rule and the Confederate states who sought to secede from the Northern states are just two examples.”
The 9/11 attacks by Muslims who killed nearly 3,000 people are called a “historical event.”

Justice sues Texas over voter ID law
he Justice Department said Thursday that it will sue Texas over its voter ID law and, separately, look for ways to intervene in a lawsuit over the state’s redistricting policies -- in the latest volley in the ongoing dispute between the feds and the Lone Star State.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, in a brief written statement, blasted the move and said Texas would continue to defend "the integrity of our elections."
"The filing of endless litigation in an effort to obstruct the will of the people of Texas is what we have come to expect from Attorney General Eric Holder and President Obama," Perry said.

Investigators have released a the 911 recordings from the shooting spree in Craven County Tuesday afternoon.
According to District Attorney Scott Thomas, 38-year-old Angelo Tavares Williams and 41-year-old Brian Lee Holden were trimming trees at 2115 Streets Ferry Road near Vanceboro Tuesday afternoon. That was when the alleged gunman, 82-year-old John Aites Jenkins (above), of River Road in Vanceboro, approached in a pickup truck, investigators said.
Jenkins then pulled out a shotgun and fired at the two men at about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, said authorities. Williams was hit in his face and Holden was hit in his mid-torso. Jenkins also allegedly shot Holden with a revolver.
Afterwards, Jenkins drove to another location on Streets Ferry Road, where two bucket trucks were located, and fired shots at the workers in the buckets, authorities said. Those workers were not hit.

Private Property Is the Essence of Liberty
Via Michael
Today we find a systematic and pervasive attack on the privacy of American citizens, which undermines the principle of private property ownership. Understanding why the attack on privacy is rapidly expanding and recognizing a need to reverse this trend are necessary if our Republic is to survive.
Editor’s Note:
Ron Paul, Distinguished Counselor to the Mises Institute, and a founding member, celebrated his 78th birthday this week. In this selection from a speech in the House of Representatives in 1999, Ron Paul outlines why private property and privacy are essential to the preservation of civil liberties. It is perhaps noteworthy that this speech was delivered before the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and before the Patriot Act, FATCA, “Know Your Customer,” warrantless wiretapping, and similar regulatory and legislative developments since 2001.
This selection is taken from chapter 10 of A Foreign Policy of Freedom by Ron Paul, available in both print and ebook editions at the Mises Store.
Privacy is the essence of liberty. Without it, individual rights cannot
exist. Privacy and property are interlocked. If both were protected,
little would
need to be said about other civil liberties. If one’s home, church or
business is one’s castle, and the privacy of one’s person, papers and
effects are
rigidly protected, all rights desired in a free society will be
guaranteed. Diligently protecting the right to privacy and property
guarantees religious,
journalistic and political experience, as well as a free market economy
and sound money. Once a careless attitude emerges with respect to
privacy, all
other rights are jeopardized.Ron Paul, Distinguished Counselor to the Mises Institute, and a founding member, celebrated his 78th birthday this week.

How Oberlin Manufactured the Hate-Crime Hoax of the Year
Busted. Stone-cold busted. Just as I suspected, "progressive" pranksters at Oberlin College have been definitively unmasked as the perpetrators of phony campus "hate crimes" that scored international headlines in March. The blabbermouth academic administrators who helped fuel the hysteria are now running for cover.
The Associated Press, The New York Times, MSNBC, Yahoo News and the Huffington Post were among the media outlets that trumpeted the story of supposed racism, homophobia and anti-Semitism run amok at my alma mater. Throughout the winter, anti-black and anti-gay graffiti, swastikas, and a shadowy figure in a "KKK hood" surfaced on the tiny campus outside Cleveland, Ohio. Black Entertainment Television News decried the hate outbreaks and "KKK sighting."
Because of my firsthand knowledge of Oberlin's long history of self-manufactured hate-crime incidents, the fake-hate-crime alarm bells went off immediately for me when I read the reports. Back in the 1990s, race-obsessed nutballs at Oberlin College cooked up a horrid hate-crime hoax. Asian-American students claimed that a phantom racist had spray-painted anti-Asian racial epithets on a campus landmark rock. It turned out that it was a warped Asian-American student who perpetrated the dirty deed.

Police: Man doused with gasoline, set on fire in vacant lot

A Memphis man remains in the hospital at the burn unit after police say he was set on fire.
Authorities identified two suspects wanted for the crime.
Police say the man suffered injuries to most of his body.
Prior arrests meant Memphis police already had mug shots on file for 26-year-old Robert Glasper and 19-year-old Renard King. Police identified the two Thursday for allegedly being responsible for a horrific crime two weeks ago.
It happened in the 700 block of Glankler Street. A man was doused with gasoline and set on fire in a vacant lot behind an abandoned house.
Neighbor Robert Pearson could not recall the victim's name but remembers his screams.
"He was in the weeds. And I just came home from getting groceries. He was over there hollering, his skin peeling off," said Pearson.
Pearson had no clue who committed the crime, but said the devil himself would not deserve such treatment.

School Has Bus Hijacking Drill, Doesn’t Tell Students
A SWAT training exercise that took place in Rossford, Ohio, last week appears to be just the latest example of the state working to familiarize American citizens with terror and heavy-handed police-state response.
Students on a bus en route to a local school were terrified when a man stood up and proceeded to hijack the vehicle. The hijacker, carrying what appeared to be a functional firearm, tied up some of the students and told them to keep their heads down.
The bus was rerouted to a local emergency management facility where it was stormed by first responders and SWAT teams.

Disney brings lesbian moms to TV: 'Gay' spouses flaunted to young fans of hit show
In a move that’s being described as chasing “the whims of political correctness,” the Disney Channel reportedly will feature a “married” lesbian couple on a popular kids sitcom in the coming season.
“It’s a disappointment to millions of Americans that Disney would choose to become a groundbreaker in immorality,” commented Mediaguide, the organization headed by Christian media critic Ted Baehr. “New concepts of morality have had a very negative impact on marriage, families, and children.”
Mediaguide said that instead of “becoming a leader in political correctness, we encourage Disney to hold on to their title as the leader in good, fun and wholesome.”
TV Guide reports the lesbian characters will appear on an episode of “Good Luck Charlie.”

"Every Hindu in Pakistan is bearing atrocities, girls are kidnapped and forcibly converted but now, Hindu boys are being made to embrace Islam"

"There is no compulsion in religion," says the Qur'an (2:256), as Islamic apologists in the West endlessly remind us, but what exactly constitutes compulsion for many Islamic supremacists is not what Westerners assume. Even in the Qur'an itself, Muslims are directed to exact a tax (jizya) from the subjugated "People of the Book," i.e., primarily Jews and Christians, and make sure that they "feel themselves subdued," which has been taken in Islamic law as the impetus for a whole complex of humiliating and discriminatory regulations that deny them basic rights. They can free themselves from all this humiliation, discrimination and harassment simply by converting to Islam -- yet even this is not considered to be "compulsion in religion."
