More Circumstantial Corroboration on Military Brass

I asked how widespread the destruction is.  And who is ordering it.

According to this post, admittedly uncorroborated, but certainly something that could be looked into and verified, it's also happening at Camp LeJeune.

Can you regulars with military ties do some asking around about this with your contacts?  It would be very helpful if we could get documents, memos, reports, whatever, to prove it.

UPDATE: I just found this solid waste management plan from LeJeune, albeit it's from 2008, before this story broke out and Baucus and Tester became involved. From page 5-13:
Brass from spent ammunition cartridges must be sorted from unfired ammunition at the point of generation. All ammunition items must be inspected by the generating unit and when they are turned in to the satellite sites at the Rifle Range and School of Infantry, the MRF, or DRMO-Lejeune, shall be accompanied by a signed, typed statement to read, "This material has been inspected by (signing individual) and it contains no live rounds/live blanks, unfired primers, hazardous waste, hazardous materials, or other dangerous materials." Spent brass shells are collected, mutilated, and stored until they are sold and removed by a contractor.

Judge rejects prosecution motion to bar public from Reese hearing

With evidence of improprieties mounting, the government’s attempt to keep the public from witnessing further proceedings, in violation of the Justice Department’s own policy, becomes understandable... [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner report unseals the latest evidence of official abuse in an ongoing persecution -- ask yourself what possible motive a compromised prosecution could have for not wanting the public to see how it's conducted itself.

If you haven't been closely following this case, today's a good day to follow some of the back story links to learn more.  It's important because any of us -- and our families -- could be put through an extended and devastating ordeal against an implacable and merciless tormenter with unlimited resources.

It's important that the still-unfolding story of the Reese family be shared.  Please help do that.

More Blood on the NRA's Hands

And again, no description of the perps, who are still out there. You'd think that would be important  public safety information an honest paper would want to put out there. [Read]

An Informal Posting

Writer David Codrea said he obtained a copy of the proposal before it was formally posted on the Library of Congress THOMAS database. [More]
Yes I said that.

I must admit I'm a bit confused. With all the news coverage and interest over this, and with the fact that it's still not posted on THOMAS, I'd have thought it would have received a lot more than 9,000 reads so far.

Why Do You Need an Assault Weapon?

Nothing was taken and no shots were fired. [More]

Idiots. Don't they know these battlefield weapons of war are only meant for killing and killing and killing when they're not compensating for small penises?

And what does it tell you to realize Andrew Cuomo, who is protected 'round the clock by an armed detail, would rather the roommates had been killed than armed with an AR-15?

And for next time, guys, load the thing.

Another Bloodthirsty Gun Owner

“I pointed the gun at him and told him he better get the hell out, and he flew out like a bat,” Sikes said. “He’s lucky I didn’t kill him.” [More] 

Jeez pal, why didn't you just give him what he wanted? Or conversely, to satisfy the other hive insect meme, why didn't you blow him away to compensate for your small penis?

And why is there no "duty to retreat"?

What missed opportunities: If the intruder had shot him, the antis could trumpet another gun death AND the uselessness of DGUs. And again, conversely, if the homeowner had done the killing, they could not only bemoan another child gun death, but Jesse and Al could gin up outrage and the Panthers could offer another reward.

And why is it, with a demonstrably dangerous sociopath on the loose, did I need to go searching through multiple media accounts until I finally found a description? This reverse media racism where facts are withheld due to motives of political correctness does no one any good.

Likewise, I've never believed the names of predatory juvenile offenders should be withheld, either.   If some little reptile two blocks down is setting fires, skinning kittens or diddling kiddies, neighbors ought to know about it.

Hotels Reeling

On First Reading

It's about as bad as sensible, mentally competent people expected, but still with some potential nuclear landmines. [Read]

Carl Bussjaeger has written a summary of the new Feinstein bill I think is perceptive, brilliant and funny, at least until you realize we're even talking about this.

I know a lot of people are crowing about how it's DOA and won't even get out of the Senate.  I'm glad so many among us are able to predict the future with such certainty, particularly about what the political climate will be like when there's another convenient blood dance opportunity. And another one.


Never put all your eggs in one basket.  A corollary to that might be never trust your freedom solely to principled politicians.  You know, all the ones out there right now championing an end to "gun free zones."That said, don't let all the misdirection/sleight of mind keep attention and focus away from more likely preemptive surrenders if no further massacres are immediately forthcoming.

Just So You Know Where You Stand


Just so you know what our rulers think they can get away with -- with you, with your property, with your life -- and just so you have no questions about the culpability of everyone who supports them -- whether through intent or civic incompetence -- for their past, present and future crimes...

This defines that "monopoly of violence" the gun-grabbers intend to establish over our smoking bodies if we refuse to bend to their will. Mueller reveals everything we need to know about his character, Holder's character, and Obama's character. They are monsters. No wonder they crave our guns.

Thing is, this was recorded in March 2012. I'd ask why it wasn't played over and over again before the election, but then we'd get into a whole 'nother debate over the Stupid Party vs. the Quigley factor.

And would Shep Smith argue so passionately about due process rights over, say someone caught up in that mental health blanket dragnet and standing to lose their guns for life that some on "our side" are floating preemptive surrender trial balloons over?

This Day in History: January 26

Daniel Morgan wrote to William Snickers on January 26, 1781: “I was desirous to have a stroke at Tarleton … & I have Given a devil of a whiping [sic].”27 Morgan knew that Tarleton would come fast, determined to finish off the Americans before they could escape and devised a battle plan that would make use of his capabilities while exploiting Tarleton’s zeal for a quick and decisive victory.28 This plan, ingenious in nature and original in thought, was well executed by the men under his command and directly contributed to thwarting the British strategy in the Carolinas.
