“My son-in-law was killed by the SWAT team I founded” Former Sheriff turned Activist, Speaks Out
Via LH
“SWAT teams have been infiltrated by bullies with badges and guns who foster a mentality that killing criminals reduces recidivism”
William “Dub” Lawrence is a former city police officer, former US Marine, and former Sheriff of Davis County who has awaken to the reality of Police State USA. Sadly this awakening was sparked by the murder of his son-in-law by a SWAT team that he created.
In September 2008, he watched helplessly as the same SWAT team he helped create over 30 years earlier shot and killed Brian Wood, his 36-year-old son-in-law.
Since this horrible atrocity, Lawrence has become a leader of the growing police reform movement.

Slaves Freeing Themselves from Freedom
Often
mislabeling homeless black refugees in the South as “loyal,”
Northerners saw them as easily-acquired and underpaid mercenaries who
would help them subjugate the American South. Most of them were not so
easily mislead, knew what their new friends had in mind, and simply
wanted to go home to be left alone.
Bernhard Thuersam, Chairman
North Carolina War Between the States Sesquicentennial Commission
"Unsurpassed Valor, Courage and Devotion to Liberty"
"The Official Website of the North Carolina WBTS Sesquicentennial"
Slaves Freeing Themselves from Freedom
“At
Hilton Head, in March 1862, it was proposed to organize out of certain
loyal blacks, within easy reach, a patriotic Negro brigade. But this
reinforcement so little appreciated the intended honor that the
vigilance of a strong picket of white soldiers was necessary to prevent
the escape of the slave to his master.
With
their Enfield rifles and other military equipments, one-third of the
nucleus did, in fact, decamp. [Northern] General [David] Hunter’s force
succeeded in recovering at least five of these refugees from freedom.
“Taken when fleeing toward the mainland, occupied by rebels, they were
placed in irons and confined at the Rip Raps [along the shore]”
Fugitives
from freedom, encountering every peril to escape therefrom, by some
fugitive freedom laws are pursued, overtaken, loaded with irons and
threatened with worse if they make further efforts to free themselves
from freedom. It may be, in cold iron outline, is imaged something of
deeper import – “the name of freedom graven on a heavier chain.”

'Time' Hits GOP Ad Created By Women as the 'Most Sexist' of the Year
Perhaps eager to restart the so-called Republican "war on women," Time magazine on Wednesday claimed to have found the "most sexist Republican ad of the year." Writer Charlotte Alter was outraged at a spot by the College Republicans National Committee promoting Florida's Rick Scott in a Say Yes to the Dress parody.
Alter complained that "in case there is any debate about whether 1) Republicans really want young women on board for the midterms and 2) they’re confused about how to do it," this commercial will "settle the question once and for all." The Time headline flatly declared, "This Is the Most Sexist Republican Ad of the Year."

Wanna Fight? The Top 5 Combat Rifles of All-Time
Via Michael
What’s the quickest way to start a fight? Be conservative or liberal, black or
white, American, a man, or the easiest way—just be me. Another way to
start a fight is declare you have ‘the’ list of the best combat rifles
from the last century. So come one, come all! I am challenging all
takers to come up with a better list! It’s King of the Hill time, and I
am looking for anyone who thinks they have what it takes to knock me off
my royal throne.
My first step was to compile a list, which was harder than you may think. The first few entries came easy enough, and then a few more. Before I knew, the list grew into a leviathan—that was the easy part. The hard part came when I tried to whittle the list down to just five and then decide the order.
Before I knew it, I was fighting with myself. The honorable mentions were many, but I save them and see what the challengers offer.

DHS to intensify attacks on freedom oriented citizens
Via Jeffery
Within the last two weeks several tips came into the Examiner indicating pending dangers to certain groups of citizens. These tips led to a source who, speaking on condition of anonymity, alleges that just after the election a major initiative will be launched against citizens whose values are diametrically opposite to that of Barack Obama and the current Washington elitist leadership in Congress. According to the source, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will greatly intensify its attacks on freedom oriented citizens.
The source indicated that the those within DHS and the rest of the Obama Administration who support a massive crackdown on the liberties of citizens are ready to make a dramatic move once the midterm elections in November are over. These particular government employees, particularly those at the top levels, believe that Christians, Tea Party participants, and those who support the Constitution and oppose Obama and his "progressive" agenda are dangerous and need to be subjected to a purge.

AAR - 6th NC PATCON October 1st - 6th 2014
Eric informed me that the second weekend in May next year is Mother's Day weekend, so we will schedule the 7th NC PATCON for the third weekend: May 13 - 18 2015
********************************
6th NC PATCON October 1st - 6th 2014
********************************
6th NC PATCON October 1st - 6th 2014
The day started out with author Jim Hicks, author of the "Seasons of War" novels, which explore various scenarios which are likely AFTER a total collapse. Then, the guys from Alamance County Rangers showed us a radio message repeater for secure comms, discussed antenna modifications for extended range on hand-held radios, and offered to do some future training sessions.
The highlight for me was the Q&A session on Ebola. A medical professional gave us a clear, concise technical assessment of the risks and counter-measures, along with a lot of interaction, and interrupted once by FOOD! (priorities, right?) Good job!
Peter White then talked about ten things he needs to improve on, and encouraged us to do our own self-assessments. We finished with a productive discussion on future PATCONs, training proposals, and the raffle. The PA contingent made another good showing, but a local first-timer hit the big time, taking home (a temporary picture of) the 1911 and a brick of 223 ammo.
Sam - sorry you and Holly couldn't make it down. You were missed,
plus I had planned to make field measurements on the TOC. If you can
provide info on the make (Thomas or . . .?) and model, interior and
undercarriage frame dimensions, etc., I can add to it with some on-line
research and generate some basic plans.
