The US President's Hit List or "Death by PowerPoint"
Last Friday, I wrote a post on how:
- US national security agencies increasingly use computerized analysis of collected data to designate a person as an enemy combatant.
- The US currently uses non-judicial Presidential "hit lists" to simplify the killing of people (including US citizens) designated as enemy combatants.
- The US is rapidly increasing its use of drones to kill enemy combatants nearly anywhere in the world 24x7x365.
The scary part is that the combination of these trends is the path of least resistance to an automated totalitarianism.
For those of you out of the loop on what is going on, it probably seemed to be a bit of a stretch. Particularly, the idea that the President could put American citizens on a military hit list without going through a judicial process.
If you were skeptical on the existence of a hit list, here's an article from today's (almost on cue) New York Times.

The Buffalo Soldiers and genocide
To the Editor epage@bhamnews.com
It is with the heaviest of heart that I write this communication. As an American Indian and former resident of the great state of Alabama, I am deeply offended to read that a monument has been erected to a group of soldiers whose greatest claim to fame was participating in the planned genocide of the American Indian.
One does not need be a history professor, to be aware of the contributions/atrocities of the so called Buffalo Soldiers; one need only use any search engine available on the world wide web, look long enough and with eyes open and the truth will surface.
The Buffalo Soldiers participation in the wars waged against the American Indian in the west, was simply a continuation of the planned genocide or physical removal at the very least, set into motion by President Lincoln, who made no secret of his disdain of the American Indian.
President Grant took up the reins and along with generals like Sherman and others waged an all out offensive campaign to eradicate all American Indians men , women , children, young and old alike. In a excerpt from "How Lincoln's Army Liberated the Indians" by Thomas J. Lorenzo it is stated
"Sherman planted a racist tautology: Some Indians are thieving, killing rascals fit for death; all Indians look alike; therefore, to get some we must eliminate all . . . deduced from this racist tautology . . . the less destructive policy would be racial cleansing of the land . . .". More detailed references can be found such as "Sherman was once brought before a congressional committee after federal Indian agents, who were supposed to be supervising the Indians who were on reservations, witnessed "the horror of women and children under military attack." Nothing came of the hearings, however. Sherman ordered his subordinates to kill the Indians without restraint to achieve what he called "the final solution of the Indian problem," and promised that if the newspapers found out about it he would "run interference against any complaints about atrocities back East" (Fellman, p. 271).

Ironically, some ex-slaves took part in the Indian wars. Known as the "Buffalo Soldiers," they assisted in the federal army's campaign of extermination against another colored race.
I could give reference after reference, and I suppose it would matter little in the scope of what happened all those years ago to my ancestors seen through the eyes of the modern world. However, having ancestors who died at the hands of the Buffalo Soldiers I find it in poor taste to place a monument to soldiers no matter the color of their skin ,who willingly murdered, raped, and plundered the American Indian. It is too similar to Hitler's "Final Solution" for my stomach.

Obama Awards Medal of Freedom to Democratic Socialists of America Chair
Not that anyone is surprised.
President Obama awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Tuesday to Dolores Huerta, an 82-year-old labor activist and co-founder of the United Farm Workers union.
Huerta is also an honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America.
DSA describes itself as “the largest socialist organization in the United States, and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International.”
Huerta has claimed, “Republicans hate Latinos,” and has spoken fondly of Hugo Chavez’s despotic regime in Venezuela. Some of her more radical comments were captured in this audio clip:

Donovan - Universal Soldier
Brings back memories. The year before I joined the Army, the year of Dr. Zhivago, The Umbrellas of Cherborg, my '65 Hi-Po Fastback with carpet saturated in bourbon, seconds from death, DUI, Karen Bersch, Bobby Lang my carpet layin' gift of gab friend with trashcan full of beer and ice in the backseat of his old Buick on Sundays, pints of bourbon from our local bootlegger every night at around 2AM because we needed just a little bit more, blood and guts in a bar, caving, PBR, shooting groundhogs with my '98 Mauser, deb parties, Cooperstown, Virginia Gentleman, seeing the local cops view us going by them at over 100MPH at the end of a 1/4 mile at night on a public road and doing nothing about it, ad infinitum.
Obama's ceremony: Upstaged by ignorance and incompetence.
As though this is unusual....... Lord only knows the gaffes that would occur if he didn't use his teleprompter.:)
Poles and Polish-Americans expressed outrage today at President Obama’s reference earlier to “a Polish death camp” — as opposed to a Nazi death camp in German-occupied Poland.
“The White House will apologize for this outrageous error,” Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski tweeted. Sikorski said that Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk “will make a statement in the morning. It’s a pity that this important ceremony was upstaged by ignorance and incompetence.”
The president had been trying to honor a famous Pole, awarding a Presidential Medal of Freedom to Jan Karski, a resistance fighter who sneaked behind enemy lines to bear witness to the atrocities being committed against Jews. President Obama referred to him being smuggled “into the Warsaw ghetto and a Polish death camp to see for himself.”
Sikorski also tonight tweeted a link to an Economist story noting that “few things annoy Poles more than being blamed for the crimes committed by the Nazi occupiers of their homeland. For many years, Polish media, diplomats and politicians have tried to persuade outsiders to stop using the phrase ‘Polish death camps’ as a shorthand description of Auschwitz and other exemplars of Nazi brutality and mass murder. Unfortunately this seems to have escaped BaracK Obama’s staff seem not to have noticed this.”

May FTF recap/June FTX
To all Alamance personnel,
Our FTF was this past weekend and I would like to thank everyone who attended. After the hot dog lunch, discussion included the NC PatCon, GA PatCON and the national PatCon. From what I could find out, the NC PatCon had more attendance than the national. Randy Dye (NCRenegade blog), Michael Downing (NC Rangers) and NC State Representative Glen Bradley were some of the speakers there. Brock Townsend hosted the PatCon and the hospitality was excellent. He's planning another PatCon for the 1st weekend of October. Other items discussed at the FTF was: possible False Flag events, local, tactical and state comms in the event of a SHTF situation.
The June FTX is tentatively scheduled for the 22-24th. This will be held at Tom's location. Will send out directions when we get closer to the dates. Training covered will be as follows:
Weapons sight-in/possible drills (depending on turn-out)
Wild Edibles
Patrol procedures and Hand Signals
Land Nav
Possible other training
If you have and questions or suggestion, as always, please feel free to contact me.
