This Is My Shocked Face

[T]he DOJ’s interpretation of who is a “member[] of the news media” is dramatically narrower than the definition provided in the Privacy Protection Act and effectively excludes bloggers and freelancers from protection. [More]
Imagine that!

Smells Like...Victory

Despite opposition by the North Carolina Sheriffs' Association and equivocation by members of Republican leadership, House Bill 937 ("Amend Various Firearms Laws") today passed from conference committee and was approved by both the NC House and Senate and represents the most sweeping gain for gun rights in North Carolina history.

Matter of fact, with their stunningly unprecedented levels of corruption and incompetence, maybe we want them diverted to distractions where they can have no real impact.

Automatic Self-Incrimination

Investigators sent the Lancer's computer — better known as a black box — to the vehicle's manufacturer in California in order to track Flores' actions before the fatal collision. Data from the black box helped police determine that Flores had been speeding, Blagg said. Police had been “anxious to make an arrest” and did so quickly after an indictment was issued. [More]
Hey, after all, aren't we told "driving is a privilege"?

And the Truth Shall Set You Free

Which explains why the Buckeye Firearms Association site is now down as they are weathering a particularly vicious attack:
BFA is under attack from an unknown outside entity. The website is down and communications systems are non-functional.

Here's what we know so far ...
 
 
If you've tried to visit our website today, you know it's not there any more. At some time this morning, it came under attack from an outside source.

FACTS:

  • Our IT guy says it's a "denial of service" or DoS attack. This is not the ordinary "hack" attack that we've experienced many times in the past. A DoS attack involves using significant resources to bombard a server to temporarily or permanently disrupt service.
  • This attack took out our websites, both Buckeye Firearms Association and Buckeye Firearms Foundation.
  • Our email communication services also went down. Leaders are located all over the state of Ohio, so we've had to set up a temporary alternate email list to stay in touch as we work through this issue.
  • This attack was so overwhelming, it took down the entire company that hosts our website. Thousands of IP addresses have been caught up in the digital bloodshed.  
  • Shortly after all the company servers went down, their power went down. And our IT guy says his cell phone service vanished.
We don't yet know where this attack came from, but we find it hard to believe that it is a coincidence that it's happening at the very moment a story went national about raising funds to enable George Zimmerman to purchase a new firearm after Eric Holder and the DOJ decided to prevent him from getting his personal property back.

We've received threats, hate male, and angry late night phone calls. We're sending you this message to let you know what's going on just in case they take out more of our resources and we are unable to communicate with you.

REST ASSURED: We are working on getting our website back up. And the work goes on to push pro-gun legislation, meet with law makers, and defend the Second Amendment. We may communicate online, but our strength has always been in our vast grassroots and our personal relationships with your representatives in government.

The check to Zimmerman is being sent to him as you read this. We collected $25,000 from our recent gun raffle. Our events and teacher training classes are moving forward. We CANNOT be stopped by technological temper tantrums like this.

We're posting updates on our Facebook page as we know more. You can visit it here:

Oath Keepers campaign supports Snowden, whistleblowers

“If we wake up enough Americans, especially in the military, it is possible to have an American counterpart to what happened in East Germany in 1989 when the East German military refused to crack down on the peaceful protesters, and without the support of the Army, the Communist Party and the Stasi secret police were done,” Rhodes recalled.

I'm just going to rip off Andrea Shea King's entire introduction to this that she posted on Facebook:

Discussing the Anthony Weiner sickness and his and Huma's determination to continue his campaign for the NYC mayorship, I suspect -- nay, I BELIEVE that they have been made a promise from the same powerful handlers who are in control of Obama, most of our Senate, and at least two thirds -- likely more -- of our so-called Representatives in the House.

The handlers -- whoever they are and I'll leave you to speculate on that -- have selected Weiner to put in place to continue the Marxist policies of the current mayor, Bloomberg. Weiner is a broken, sexually addicted human, as lusting for power as he is for self-pornography and exhibitionist impulses. He can be controlled. The masters know his weaknesses, his "tells". Like a pimp feeding his hookers dope to "keep them sweet", the masters feed their minions with whatever it will take to "keep them sweet", (doing their bidding).

It's the same strategy being used with the doper homosexual Obama and his beard Moochelle, who has her own visions of self grandeur and a bitter and deep sense of entitlement. They are and will continue to be well "compensated" for trading in whatever soul they have with the "perks" that come with pushing forward the "greater cause". Fellow travelers, they are where they've been placed by their masters through Machiavellian and clever use of every tool available (think Google algorithms, social media, psychology of the masses, media manipulation, ballot/voter fraud, intimidation, blackmail, extortion, and oh so much more) to get the job done. What job? A new world order and all that that entails.

Huma, as we know, is Muslim and closely connected to the Muslim Brotherhood. Huma fits into and is part of the plan. Whatever she and her miserably sick, sexually addicted freak of a husband have been promised is worth more to her than the indignities she is publicly suffering. And let's not forget that Islamic / Muslim women taught to put up with whatever their husband's proclivities are. Couple that with Hillary's whispered promise that all will be worth it in the end... and well, it's not hard to get the picture.

All of this is part of the master plan -- putting in place (i.e. into power) those who can be controlled by their masters. And make no mistake -- Wiener, as well as Obama, and Clinton before them -- have their masters.

Hillary and Bill are high up in the pecking order. They are the capo de capo, trusted lieutenants of the masters. They've proven time and again they can be counted on to further the agenda. They've been tested. Affairs, lesbianism, alcoholism, his sexual addiction and superego, Benghazi... I could go on for days just recounting the f-ups of his administration. Both of them are dangerously broken people with bonafides.

The Bush family are part of it too. It all makes sense now why "W" wouldn't and hasn't said a peep -- when he was being lambasted for going to war, when he "Abandoned Free Market Principles To Save The Free Market System’", and when Obama pushed through stimulus, Obamacare, the NSA surveillance...

IT WAS PART OF THE PLAN. And he knew it. was beholden to it. Kept his mouth shut. He delivered us into the mess in the Middle East, spending our resources and treasure to enmire us in a hopeless situation, laying the groundwork for his successor to further enmire us in the fetid quicksand of the Arab world. I leave it to you to figure out why -- but here's a hint: petrodollars.

In Justin Raimondo's piece (linked below), he writes about the surveillance state that is surely the most magnificent move of the masters, the one that will keep us penned in as surely as the Jews were in the Warsaw ghettos.

"Of all the key aspects of an authoritarian regime, secrecy is the most vital in effecting the transition from relative freedom to a full-fledged police state. As the foundations of the liberal democratic order are eaten away by political termites operating in the dark, the democratic polity retains its traditional republican form – but is hollow at its center. That’s why the prescient Garet Garrett called the rising statist trend in the United States a "revolution within the form" – superficially, our old republic appears intact, but the old meanings of such concepts as "democracy" and "the rule of law" have been turned on their heads. Beneath the surface, the tyrant lurks, waiting for his moment…."

The only thing left -- the one so many -- like David Codrea and Kurt Hoffman and Mike Vanderbeogh -- are fighting mightily to prevent -- is the confiscation of our only means of protection against these masters. Guns. Once that is accomplished, game over.

Gang, we are being taken over by the masters. Wiener, Obama, and Company, are simply the soulless puppets emplaced by whatever means necessary to ensure that the takeover reaches its final objective.

Justin Raimondo's piece "Is America a Free Country?" is a MUST read.

There's a Lesson to be Learned Here...

But what...? [More]

Hey, they're not redefining "spate" again on us, are they?

An Important Tool

As for his bill that he promises will "reduce gun violence," I'd like to see some sort of reality-based way of validating by how much...you know, something more substantial than telling us about CSI being "one of the hottest shows on television."

A Bit o' the Blarney

Irish transplant and Columbia University adjunct journalism professor (and Clinton confidante) Niall O'Dowd says Islam "gets a bad rap in the west."   [More]

I wonder why.

Oh, and Liam Neeson ... nahhh, who cares?

Of course O'Dowd also says "When everyone in the media tells you the George Zimmerman acquittal had nothing to do with race don’t believe a word of it."

First of all, what media would that be?

But he's right you know, just not for the reasons he'd have us believe.  Of course Obama and Holder and Sharpton and Jackson and the eager corps of Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists have made the case (as opposed to the acquittal) all about race.

Like the very term "progressive," every day is "Opposite Day" for such wormtongues.

I wonder if the Republicans will be stupid enough to believe he has their best interests in mind when he urges Peter King to run for president, and calls Marco Rubio a "GOP braveheart."
