It does not much matter if you think you can or think you cannot. In either case, you are correct. When you make up your mind, your body will follow. The mother who lifted a car off her child did not stop to think that she could not do that. She simply did it. Of course it was impossible. Any logical, rational, thinking person knows this. Fortunately for the child, its mother did not stop to think that she might not be able to. She did what her mind told her had to be done. I haven’t done anything particularly amazing, but continue to be impressed by the power of the human mind, at least of mine, but I […]

Challenge accepted. Yesterday I had an angry red blotch surrounding a scabbed-over wound, source of injury unknown. I biff and bang my skin in my everyday world without giving it much thought. This infection is not significantly different from hundreds of others I have had, and certainly of no concern. In the olden days with my blind faith in the anointed medical practitioners, I would hustle to one of their temples to get shot for the dreaded tetanus that none of us had ever known to exist outside a mythology of the diploma-bearing medicine man world. They then would have poured some toxic mixture out of a brown bottle onto the wound, applied a fifty-dollar band-aid and sent me packing. […]
By Ted Dunlap, on December 29th, 2017 I broke a rib a week ago. This morning I answered my son’s question something like this: In the 50s doctors would diagnose a broken rib, then wrap the chest supposedly to stabilize the break for healing. The broken rib(s) would then heal in an unnaturally compressed position out of alignment with the other ribs. Today they do not do anything … well, they send you for a photograph of the break, then advise you, “If it hurts, don’t do it”, while prescribing pain killing drugs so you can abuse your broken bone and delay the healing. Two hundred dollars worth of help I do not need. Which reminds me of people going to THE DOCTOR for flu, cold, sniffles […]

. I found the bit below on my Minds feed. It is addressed to me … and people like me. I suspect that includes you. I do not know where you are on the journey, but if you have not reached the position described by the end of this essay, I encourage you to keep on going. It is the right place to be. Awakening yesterday and today was and is a much gentler, more survivable time and place than what will be experienced by those who will be JOLTED AWAKE when the entire house of cards suddenly collapses in a heap of rubble. We will understand the steps and the orchestrators thereof. For us it will simply be a […]

A few items in my morning news perusal all pointed in the same direction. That is no surprise as my sources are selected, directed by love of liberty. I combine three bits here for you. My inclusion of the quotation below is inspired by the one to the right. But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain – that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist. Lysander Spooner The essay below invokes the compact, thorough, classic book by Albert J. Nock, Our Enemy The State. The string-pullers of the control mechanism are still willing […]

The warrant was issued by a judge for the arrest of a father after calling his biological female child his “daughter,” and referring to her with the pronouns “she” and “her.” He was found to be in contempt of court. by Erin Perse from the Post Millenial There is a man in Canada who can only be alluded to as He Who Shall Not Be Named: Robert Hoogland. For the sake of natural justice, it is important to speak this man’s name. He is now the Canadian state’s prison of conscience. The warrant was issued by a judge for the arrest of a father after calling his biological female child his “daughter,” and referring to her with the pronouns “she” […]

. The “grownups” in this country are being bribed with $600 each to keep quiet about $940,000,000,000 the congresscritters are ordering out of thin air. That, by the way, is 94% of a trillion dollars. I help you picture that on the right. Blow that image up and look it over at a legible size… rather impressive… and quite clear. Multiply that generous $600 bribe per adult times the USofA Census Bureau adult count and we spent $158,000,000,000 on money to keep the peasants from complaining about a trillion in self-serving corruption and graft. That is 17% of the total, graciously earmarked for us. Figuring the worldwide co-conspirators skim off 50% before they send it back to 535 members of […]

By John W. Whitehead December 28, 2020 “The people are unaware. They’re not educated to realize that they have power. The system is so geared that everyone believes the government will fix everything. We are the government.”—John Lennon No doubt about it: 2020—a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year for freedom—was the culmination of a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad decade for freedom. Government corruption, tyranny, and abuse coupled with a Big Brother-knows-best mindset and the COVID-19 pandemic propelled us at warp speed towards a full-blown police state in which nationwide lockdowns, egregious surveillance, roadside strip searches, police shootings of unarmed citizens, censorship, retaliatory arrests, the criminalization of lawful activities, warmongering, indefinite detentions, SWAT team raids, asset forfeiture, […]

I am starting to GLARE at mask-wearing people who look at me, if behind their eyes I catch even the slightest consideration of mentioning my whole, unfettered face. The energy I radiate sends them quietly scurrying away. I have moved past disgust with their failure to understand, resent and resist what is going on. I now sympathize that a system they don’t comprehend targeted their independent thinking and won. I will work on a mask-specific post, but this set of quotations is the foundation. – Ted “Nothing is so galling to a people not broken in from birth as a paternal, or, in other words, a meddling government, a government which tells them what to read, and say, and eat, […]

I was teaching revolver and shotgun fundamentals to some people recently. Afterwards I asked if they were considering one or the other for home, family and community defense, one answered with my title line, “I am not killing someone over food”. That made me think. I believe I will not kill to take someone else’s food. It would be incredibly destructive of my spirit, soul, karma, eternal being to go for 71 years on the positive side and trash that in my last few months as an Earthly mortal. I am convinced I won’t end my life on that side of the cosmic ledger by choice. I have read and studied a lot of fiction and non-fiction about dysfunctional societies. […]
By compatriot, on June 20th, 2020 Guest Post by Southern Sage from The Burning Platform The background, big picture explains what we are in the middle of; why it seems our country, society, culture is under attack. This article pulls so much together from a writer who understands and explains it well – Ted The Alinsky angle is important, of course, but the problem is far worse than that. Alinsky was a criminal subversive who deserved the hangman’s noose but he was only one player among many who have brought us to the brink of catastrophe. I am a retired intelligence officer who spent almost all of his career overseas. Unlike so many of the so-called “counter-terrorism experts” who spew blather on TV, I really did […]

We can argue with others all day and the truth is that no one knows exactly how all this is going to play out over time. No matter how serious or not serious you may think that the actual disease is, you are going to be […]

A Texas Highway Patrol Officer was conducting speeding enforcement on Hwy 77, just south of Kingsville, TX. The officer was using a handheld radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching the town of Kingsville and was suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading 300 miles per hour and climbing. The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset and then… It suddenly went dead. Immediately a deafening roar over the Mesquite treetops on Hwy 77 revealed that the radar had in fact locked on to a USMC F/A-18 Hornet which was engaged in a low-flying exercise near it’s Naval Air home base location in Kingsville. Back at the Texas Highway Patrol Headquarters in Corpus […]
