How Helene Affected The People Of Appalachia

To begin with, this is your president. This ought to be one of the most shameful things ever said by a sitting president. "Do you have any words to the victims of the hurricane?" BIDEN: "We've given everything that we have." "Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?" BIDEN: "No." pic.twitter.com/jDMNGhpjOz — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) September 30, 2024 We must have spent too much money on Ukraine to help Americans in distress. I don't…… [read more]

Watch List For Militias

BY Herschel Smith
4 years, 3 months ago

I stumbled across this definition (which I’ve never seen because I don’t frequent this web site).

The FBI, on its website, describes this: “Militia extremists … believe that the Constitution grants citizens the power to take back the federal government by force or violence if they feel it’s necessary. They oppose gun control efforts and fear the widespread disarming of Americans by the federal government.”

If you do not believe that the first amendment recognizes the right of amelioration of tyranny by force, you don’t believe that the war of independence was righteous.  Many, of course, don’t even today.  But that aligns them squarely with tyranny as the founders so aptly stated.

If you oppose gun control efforts, I suppose the FBI has a place for you on their watch list.

If you don’t believe that the pols desire the widespread disarming of Americans, you haven’t been listening.  It’s not just the democrats.  GWB famously was in favor of a new AWB after the first one went sunset, but couldn’t get the senate to go along.

Provider Maintainers In The Army

DoD.

The training, provided by the U.S. Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command, gave the small-arms repair Soldiers an opportunity to get a hands-on feel for the new systems and learn the details of operating and maintaining them.

“An instructor came here from TACOM and went over the whole weapons system for the M17 and M18 pistols, breaking down the weapon understanding how it fires,” said Staff Sgt. Ryan Daly, platoon sergeant with 632nd SMC.

The instructors also covered all the different trajectory, how to disassemble not only the weapon but also the magazine and how to properly clean it, Daly said.

[ … ]

The maintainers ended the training having gained confidence in their ability to provide the Division and tenant units the quality support the Sustainment Brigade is known for.

“For an SMC, this is an important opportunity because it helps Soldiers basically cross train with some of the tenant units and the units we support here on Fort Stewart,” said Capt. Jessica Richardson, commander, 632nd SMC. “We are the only ones that are going to be maintaining them on Fort Stewart and it gives our Soldiers an opportunity to fulfill their military occupation specialties.”

Provider Maintainer.  Is that what the Army calls armorers now?  Is that an actual MOS?  Does this go along with all the sensitivity training they get now?

Have any of you gunsmiths heard of this MOS?

Antifa Claims To Have Ignited The Fires Burning America

BY Herschel Smith
4 years, 3 months ago

But of course, you knew all of this anyway, right?

It’s a terrible thing for the American public to be so stupid to think that any of this has to do with climate, and to be so cloistered and gullible that you must believe the FedGov when they tell you this has nothing to do with the communist revolution.

When the enemy tells you exactly what he’s doing and why, and when people refuse to believe it, the enemy is winning.

Then there is this.

Matt Bracken sends.

UPDATE: I’m told that this is a parody Twitter account that has been suspended. I’ve seen other screen shots of posts, and they’re cute and amusing, but still parody.

White supremacy is ‘most lethal threat’ to the US, DHS draft assessment says

BY Herschel Smith
4 years, 3 months ago

Via Ken, the FedGov has your best interests at heart.

White supremacists will remain the most “persistent and lethal threat” in the United States through 2021, according to Department of Homeland Security draft documents.

[ … ]

The threat assessment — which also warns of continued disinformation efforts by Russia — is especially notable as President Donald Trump has downplayed the threat from white supremacists during his term in office. The Trump administration has portrayed Antifa and anarchists as a top threat to the U.S., with the president tweeting this summer that the U.S. will designate Antifa as a terrorist organization.

The recently released draft reports, which were made public by Lawfare Editor in Chief Benjamin Wittes and first reported by Politico, mentions a host of threats, including cyber, foreign influence and irregular migration.

All three drafts state that white supremacist extremists are the deadliest threat.

Russia bad.  White extremists dangerous.  Same thing, same meme, today is like yesterday which is like tomorrow will be.

White supremacists are the ones shining lasers in the eyes of LEOs in Portland.  White supremacists are the ones throwing Molotov Cocktails at buildings in Portland and Seattle.

White supremacists are the ones looting, burning, destroying, shutting roadways down and getting into the middle of moving traffic, threatening the downfall of the government, and so on and so forth.

Right?  Been watching lately?

This is your tax dollars at work to undermine the American heritage and press an agenda by the power of the FedGov.  They want to be your enemy.  And they want the full power of the federal executive back, which is why you’re seeing the disruption in America running up to the election.

They don’t want to be the enemy of white supremacists – they want to be your enemy.  They know they’re lying about the threats to the American system, they know that the communists want to overthrow the American project, and they don’t care.  Because they are communists themselves.

Lying is the prose in which they traffic, and propaganda is their staple.  They know it, and you know it.  They don’t even try to hide it any more.

Comments Of The Day

First, from 41mag.

Civilians will be facing multiple concurrent threats if the satanists in bLM keep their kinetic activities going. Spicey times are here. Larger capacity is more benefitting in our regards than caliber size. The satanists aren’t doing their work solo.

Second, Matt Bracken.

Here is the link to my hour guest-hosting the Alex Jones Show on Sep 10, 2020.

I read my AmPart piece on armed community defense at the beginning.

ARMED CITIZENS MUST DEFEND THEIR COMMUNITIES FROM RIOTING MOBS IF THE POLITICIZED POLICE WILL NOT

In it, I strongly suggest that arsonists should be shot on sight.

History of Fabrique Nationale d’Herstal (FNH) Part 1

BY Herschel Smith
4 years, 3 months ago

So do you want to learn something about history?  History is where it’s at.  It tells you how we got where we are, why thing are the way they are, who is who, and how things got made and done.

This is a very well-produced and well-researched video documentary on the history of FN.  With it, you’ll learn how American industry (stupidly) shunned John Moses Browning and how he got connected with FN.

John Moses Browning and Eugene Stoner (we speak of these two men in reverent, hushed tones at The Captain’s Journal) are the premier firearms designers in American history.  You owe it to yourself to understand why things happened the way they did with Mr. Browning and FN.  By the way, FN-America is right down the road from me in Columbia, S.C., producing quality firearms to this very day.  I have one.

I commend this video for your viewing today.

Misunderstanding Theology And History

BY Herschel Smith
4 years, 3 months ago

I had seen this piece before and honestly felt robbed of the five minutes of my life it took to digest and then regurgitate this drivel.  But since David links it and makes some comments it brought the acid reflux back and I decided to post on it.

Concerning “boomers.

Sacrificial Lamb nobly attempts to explain to the Boomers why they are, and will probably remain, the most despised generation in recorded human history, before they pass from the stage…

This sounds like a first grade class in a temper tantrum.  I want it all, and I want it now, now, NOW, NOW!

First of all, as we’ve explained before, sins do not redound to guilt of those who did not commit them.

” … the Biblical doctrine is, as Deuteronomy 24:16 makes clear, one of individual responsibility … guilt cannot be shifted to others or passed on to the people around a man.  Guilt is non-transferable; a disposition or nature can be inherited, but not guilt.”

So before posting such idiotic tripe again, the author should go do some study.

Second, there is historical misunderstanding in this tripe.  “Boomers” … whatever that is, are not per se responsible for the mess in which America finds itself.  Someone has been asleep.

This all began long ago, with Horace Mann, who decided that the state owned your children rather than you, and that you are unqualified to educate them in either mathematics or morals.

Social Darwinism took hold many years ago, and invaded the church.  The manifestation of the project at that point was to jettison the creeds and councils of the early church in favor of falsehood.  Communists infiltrated institutions of education, and mathematics and physics were jettisoned in favor of social management.  Those graduates taught the children who taught the children who taught the children who today teach your children in centers of communist indoctrination.

Wicked men brought premillennial dispensationalism to the American church, in which the church decided to sit back, wait on the “rapture” (which isn’t taught in the Scriptures), and turn over sports, Hollywood, entertainment, scholarship, and government to the evil one.

You see, this project has been ongoing just about since the beginning of the republic, and in fact, this project has been going on since Genesis Chapter 3.  Every individual who didn’t do what God commanded is guilty in some way, but let me make it clear, individuals are guilty and will answer for their own actions.  Generations are not guilty.

I can recommend some very good studies in the American project, how it started well, and how it was hijacked.  You can begin with many of the books and papers R.J. Rushdoony wrote, beginning with “This Independent Republic” (you could also study C. Gregg Singer [Theological Interpretation of American History] and Douglas Kelly [The Emergence of Liberty in the Modern World]), but let me make this one final thing clear.  You need to read thousands of pages in order to understand it.

Misunderstanding theology and history (the title of this post) occurs because you don’t know theology and history.  You’re an impostor, not a scholar.

Writing about a first grader temper tantrum is unseemly and embarrassing to the authors, even if they’re too stupid to know it.
