Happy Trayvon Martin Day!

So, how did the kids celebrate Trayvon Martin day? Did their teachers help them prepare purple drank/Purple Lean/Lean/Sizzurp in the school lab? Did the children stick their tongues out as they carefully mixed Promethazine/Codeine cough syrup and Sprite, or Arizona Watermelon, with Jolly Ranchers and/or Skittles thrown in?

Did they then go to the school cafeteria and solemnly consume the beverage in small sips, in order to avoid unconsciousness and/or life threatening overdose? And then, when it turned them violent, did they go outside and beat the crap out of some random cracker who dared roam the neighborhood?

Brett Kimberlin & The problem with violence

I don't have a dog in this fight, I'm not a law blogger. Heck I'm hardly a gun blogger.

But having spent the day sick in bed reading about those who have been affected by Brett Kimberlin's lawfare attempts to silence those who mention his criminal past I find it ironic that Barbara Streisand is one of the donors to Brett Kimberlin's non-profits.

You see the "Streisand Effect" is when someone wants to keep information hidden, and because of their actions that information gets spread further and wider than if they had just shut the hell up.

Now, "Lawfare" is a term about getting what you want through a legal mechanism instead of traditional military violence. But make no mistake, lawfare is deadly serious business, backed by the full power and might of the jack booted thugs of the state. And while I'm not a lawyer, I might know something about warfare.

There are two common principles of warfare that apply here, in my humble opinion. 1. Dominate the terrain. 2. Don't make yourself a target (also known as don't make it easy for the snipers).

All conflicts exist in terms of Time and Space, which we call "terrain." In this terrain there are always things that are advantageous and disadvantageous in terms of occupying a portion of said terrain. Brett Kimberlin keeps losing in court because he never has the high ground, all of his suits for defamation fall flat because the comments "perjurer, terrorist, suspected murderer" are in fact demonstrably true. Truth is a good high ground to have, especially if you can prove it. If you can't prove that you are true, then the next best thing is to prove that the other guy is false. Brett Kimberlin has proven himself to be full of falsehood over repeated court cases.

But Brett Kimberlin has an advantage in lawfare in that he has nothing to lose. As long as he stays in the fight he can harass people and take their time and money. This strategy is the same as all terrorists, the good guys have to win every time, but the terrorist only has to get lucky once. Simply dominating the terrain doesn't guarantee you'll win, but it makes it most likely the other guy won't.

Now as to the second principle, don't make yourself a target... Brett Kimberlin has quite handily made himself a target.

In Reversal, Army Bans High-Performance Rifle Mags

Via Survival

Oh no, we wouldn't want them to have a better means of defense.........

The Army has ordered that soldiers may use only government-issued magazines with their M4 carbines, a move that effectively bans one of the most dependable and widely used commercial-made magazines on today’s battlefield.

The past decade of war has spawned a wave of innovation in the commercial soldier weapons and equipment market. As a result, trigger-pullers in the Army, Marines and various service special operations communities now go to war armed with commercially designed kit that’s been tested under the most extreme combat conditions.

Near the top of such advancements is the PMAG polymer M4 magazine, introduced by Magpul Industries Corp. in 2007. Its rugged design has made it as one of the top performers in the small-arms accessory arena, according to combat veterans who credit the PMAG with drastically improving the reliability of the M4.

Despite the success of the PMAG, Army officials from the TACOM Life Cycle Management Command issued a “safety of use message” in April that placed it, and all other polymer magazines, on an unauthorized list.

The message did not single out PMAGs, but instead authorizes only the use of Army-issued aluminum magazines. The message offers little explanation for the new policy except to state that “Units are only authorized to use the Army-authorized magazines listed in the technical manuals.” Nor does it say what Army units should now do with the millions of dollars’ worth of PMAGs they’ve purchased over the years.

Magpul officials have been reluctant to comment on the issue. Robert Vidrine, vice president of marketing and sales, said the company found out about TACOM’s message only after it was released to the field.

The decision has left combat troops puzzled, since the PMAG has an Army-approved national stock number, which allows units to order them through the Army supply system.

“This just follows a long line of the Army, and military in general, not listening to the troops about equipment and weaponry,” said one Army infantryman serving in Southwest Afghanistan, who asked not to be identified.

“The PMAG is a great product … lightweight and durable. I have seen numerous special ops teams from all services pass through here, and they all use PMAGs. Also, a large amount of Marine infantry here use PMAGS, including their Force Recon elements.”

Survivability VS Sustainability

Surviving and living long term in the woods.

Dave looks at what it takes to live off the land long term rather than just a 72 hour emergency situation in the woods.

Dave's talk about blades alone is worth the time.

Dave's talk about trapping and getting food will make the difference between making it long term in the woods, or having to give in from starvation.

Dave's talk on cooking is great. Add that to the use of a Dakota Fire Pit and long term sustainability is a real possibility.

Southernprepper1 looks at Dakota Fire Pits.

I took a few days in the woods a while back and used all of these techniques and they work. They would work long term in a guerrilla warfare situation.

I also needed to link to a page on tools for use in a long term woodlands situation.

It is also by Dave Canterbury.

I carry a Victorinox officers model knife, a Leatherman Diesel, my K-Bar, or the home made improved version of a Tom Brown Tracker I designed, a short Axe, a SaberCut Saw, a Gerber saw and clipper set, and a E-tool, a pocket fishing kit, and a frog gig, and a spear tip.

Using those tools which are light weight, I could dig a bunker, a Trench, a Fighting hole, build a temporary shelter, or even a log cabin.

Knowing how to make, and fire clay pots and dishes mean I could make a semi-comfortable home in the woods for long term survivability.

2006 ABC NEWS - It’s more than a drug; it’s a culture. It’s what’s known on the street as “Lean,” a highly addictive cocktail of cough syrup, [soda] cold medicine and candy — so potent it makes you “lean” over when high.

Kentucky makes bass fishing a high school sport, second state to do so

Forget the xbox and grab the tackle box!

Starting next April, anglers will be able to participate in the official sport of bass fishing. The current competitive format would have two student-anglers fish from a boat that’s driven by an adult. The best five fish for each team member would be added up to determine a winner based on total weight.

Of course they will release all fish as in the professional bass fishing circuits.

“It’s one of those programs that initially people kind of laugh about and go, ‘Oh, you’re kidding me,’” Dave Gannaway, who helped Illinois high schools get a bass fishing championship, told Cincinnati.com.

“If you build it, they will come”
