Nomenklatura: Laws For Us, But Not For Them

Hunter Biden has finally been charged for that handgun he bought (and lied on the 4473) back in 2018 when he admitted to being a unlawful drug addict. But they’re essentially letting him off.

With “diversion.”

The defendant has agreed to enter a Pretrial Diversion Agreement with respect to the firearm Information.

The remaining tax charges are — conveniently — mere misdemeanors. So the Tier-1 offender escapes any felony conviction. Not so much for us Tier-2 peons, as Deja Taylor recently discovered.

Crackhunter is charged with violating 18 U.S. Code § 922(g)(3), unlawful drug user in possession of a firearm. What he mysteriously is not charged with is a 18 U.S. Code § 922(a)(6) violation: lying on the 4473.

(6)for any person in connection with the acquisition or attempted acquisition of any firearm or ammunition from a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector, knowingly to make any false or fictitious oral or written statement or to furnish or exhibit any false, fictitious, or misrepresented identification, intended or likely to deceive such importer, manufacturer, dealer, or collector with respect to any fact material to the lawfulness of the sale or other disposition of such firearm or ammunition under the provisions of this chapter;

That’s what the feds nailed Deja Taylor on, along with using unlawful drugs. Biden dodged both, for some strange reason. Must be nice to be the son of President Gropey Dementia.

18 U.S. Code § 924(a)(2), establishes penalties, and here I see a problem. (a)(2) reads:

(2)Whoever knowingly violates subsection (a)(6), (h), (i), (j), or (o) of section 922 shall be fined as provided in this title, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both.

But the crackhead is charged with violating 18 U.S. Code § 922(g)(3). The applicable penalty for that is in 18 U.S. Code § 924(a)(8).

8)Whoever knowingly violates subsection (d) or (g) of section 922 shall be fined under this title, imprisoned for not more than 15 years, or both.

So let’s summarize: If you’re not a Biden, within mere months of being caught lying on the 4473 and unlawfully possessing a firearm, you’ll be facing two years of hard time in Club Fed.

If you are a Biden, the feds will cover for you for years, and when finally cornered and forced to appear to do something, you’ll be allowed to avoid any felony conviction, much less any prison time. And they’ll “accidentally” use the wrong penalty citation to make it look like you faced less time than what federal law actually calls for.

You might want to bear that in mind if you, as a second tier citizen as opposed to Tier-1 nomenklatura, get busted for a pistol brace or bump stock; and act accordingly.

Too Big for their Britches

A friend of mine in far away Nicaragua sent an article recently that reminded me very much of one I wrote years ago. I attempted to find the disc I have the original on to pick some sections out if it to quote. But well, once I hit some old photos and started copying and pasting and had gone through about a half dozen or more discs I decided to knock it off and just go off recall. Some of the worst I can remember. Besides which, it fits into a larger pattern I’m seeing and I don’t like it, and I don’t like where it’s headed.

So, what’s put the burr under my saddle blanket this time and has me highly annoyed?

UN-elected bureaucrats. They are often confused with bottom dwelling pond slime, so be able to tell the difference, it’s very slight sometimes.

Apparently in Virginia some bottom feeder from Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources decided they could go wherever they chose, in camo, and steal a man’s game camera and terrify his family while they played basketball by lurking in the family’s woods and behaving like a voyeur, a state funded stalker if you will. When the terrified wife ran for her husband the state funded thief took off. With their game camera. There’s more of course. Virginia wildlife officials trespassed on man’s land, stole his trail camera, lawsuit alleges

Now it doesn’t take much to set me off on the Department of Conservation, I despise them. They can and do come onto your land without a warrant, poke around wherever they choose, if you have locked gates it doesn’t matter. If you have livestock and they let it out, they are not liable. If your livestock gets out in the road and causes and accident, they aren’t liable, you are. If it was livestock you were fond of? Tough. Like I said, bottom dwelling pond scum. In the article I wrote years ago it talked about some pretty egregious things. There was a movement in my state a few years ago to rein them in. They’ve been known to seize mounted deer heads worth a lot of money and claim the owner wasn’t entitled to them. No warrant. Game meat taken out of freezers, there was a large group that had met several times to discuss what was going on with the Department of Conservation. People contacted their elected representatives, promises were made and, nothing, zip, nada. Their behavior really is criminal. For example;

Once I asked Ziehmer if he approved of the situation down in Douglas County where a dying man had willed 200 acres of land to the Department of Conservation. Just after the man died the department sent in their surveyor and attempted to rearrange the boundary so that it would take about 25 or 30 acres from three neighboring landowners without ever notifying them.

This involved cutting trees from neighbors’ land, setting a new boundary and posting signs telling the real owners of the land to stay off the land they had owned for decades. The landowners had to pay lawyers quite a lot of money and go through a long legal battle just to get back that land. In that interview I asked Ziehmer why they had done such a thing. Draper looked at him as if to say ‘‘keep quiet’’ and then he answered with something that sounded as if he had written it down and memorized it.

The people of It Could Be Any State USA expect us to accumulate and expand land for them to hunt or hike or otherwise enjoy,” he said.

My next question was, “Do you think the people of Missouri collectively would approve of what you did there next to land a dying man gave you, a man who had long known and respected his neighbors. If all It Could Be Any State USA citizens knew all about it, would the majority be happy with what you have done?”

My latest interaction was they showed up on my land for no good reason. One of my neighbors tipped me off they saw him snooping around. I’m a vegetarian. I don’t hunt and I don’t allow it. So. I called up the local game warden and politely introduced myself “Yes this is Sheila at 1313 WhatTheHeckAreYouDoingOnMyProperty Lane. I’ve been informed you were on my property, uninvited. Why?” I managed to keep the growl out of my voice, and I’m very proud of that. Well, turns out he was looking for baiting. I’m a vegetarian and I don’t allow hunting. Why didn’t you check with me? Now I’m well aware they don’t have to. These unelected bottom feeders can go anywhere, even the country sheriff can’t really do that without a reason, I don’t believe. Well, he finally admitted he was on the wrong property….ass. Bet he votes Demoncrat.

But with the way things are going I can well see a department that already abuses their authority to do unscrupulous activity for an unscrupulous law enforcement agency. Need a little look-see and don’t have a warrant and can’t get one? Call your local game warden. Bottom feeders. Ok, ok, I’ll admit, I’m biased, but I don’t like bullies and I don’t like liars. YMMV, but you might want to look into what your Department of Conservation can get away with.

But this next too big for their britches, or their job description I think we can agree on.

It Begins: 20 Heavily Armed IRS and ATF Agents Raid Great Falls Gun Store, Seize Firearm Purchase Records

In MONTANA! For pete’s sake in MONTANA!!

We have now confirmed that both the IRS and the ATF were at Highwood Creek Outfitters in Great Falls around 7 am this morning. Both the IRS and ATF would not say why they were there,” KMON Radio reported.

A spokeswoman for the IRS would only say they were there on official IRS business. The ATF says it was providing assistance to the IRS. We attempted to enter the store today and were stopped by agents at the door who would only say that the gun store is closed and will reopen tomorrow,” the news outlet added.

….

Although the Montana Department of Justice claimed no involvement in the incident, an IRS spokesperson confirmed their presence at Highwood Creek Outfitters but refrained from providing further details.

….

The recent incident has attracted political attention, with Congressman Matt Rosendale expressing his concern over the IRS and ATF’s actions, interpreting them as another example of the Biden regime’s weaponization of federal agencies against hardworking Americans.

I’m incredibly disturbed by initial reports that the IRS and ATF closed Highwood Creek Outfitters without any warning today,” said Rep Rosendale in a statement.

Well, no flies on Rep. Rosendale…what did people think the IRS would do when they got all that shiny new firepower and ammo except use it on law-abiding citizens. Dealing with criminals is dangerous! These days there is no government bureau that is not abusing it’s power and will not abuse it.

You know, we’ve sent an awful lot of taxpayer money to be laundered in Ukraine and sent back shiny and clean to the Bidden crime regime. We’ve got to cut corners somewhere. Defund the ATF, FIB, CIA and IRS. It won’t begin to cover the debt, but it’s at least making a start.

They’re too big for their britches.

Idiocy And Deprivation Of Rights In Sherbourne County, MN

A young man in Minnesota is facing a September trial for the unlawful possession of two firearms without serial numbers. The problem with the charges is that the firearms in question were home builds; private manufacture, not commercial.

 

The County Attorney and law enforcement have charged Walker with violating MN 609.667 because his privately made firearms do not have serial numbers on them – despite not being required under federal law – and, in our opinion, not needed under Minnesota statutes.

Lessee. 609.667 FIREARMS; REMOVAL OR ALTERATION OF SERIAL NUMBER. does seem to require serial numbers…

Whoever commits any of the following acts may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than five years or to payment of a fine of not more than $10,000, or both:

(3) receives or possesses a firearm that is not identified by a serial number.

…but, it not quite.

As used in this section, “serial number or other identification” means the serial number and other information required under United States Code, title 26, section 5842, for the identification of firearms.

So let’s take a look at 26 U.S. Code § 5842.

Each manufacturer and importer and anyone making a firearm shall identify each firearm, other than a destructive device, manufactured, imported, or made by a serial number which may not be readily removed, obliterated, or altered, the name of the manufacturer, importer, or maker, and such other identification as the Secretary may by regulations prescribe.

If you’re an idiot Sherbourne County deputy, county attorney, or judge mostly unfamiliar with federal law, that probably seems clear. They forgot to look at the chapter definitions, described in 26 USC 5845.

(a)Firearm
The term “firearm” means (1) a shotgun having a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length; (2) a weapon made from a shotgun if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length; (3) a rifle having a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length; (4) a weapon made from a rifle if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length; (5) any other weapon, as defined in subsection (e); (6) a machinegun; (7) any silencer (as defined in section 921 of title 18, United States Code); and (8) a destructive device. The term “firearm” shall not include an antique firearm or any device (other than a machinegun or destructive device) which, although designed as a weapon, the Secretary finds by reason of the date of its manufacture, value, design, and other characteristics is primarily a collector’s item and is not likely to be used as a weapon.

That chapter is talking about commercial manufacture and NFA firearms. Unless Walker‘s firearms are short-barrel rifles, or other NFA item, federal law does not require serial numbers. The firearms in question appear to be an AR-pattern 9mm pistol and an AR-10 with a 20 inch barrel. Not NFA.

My guess is that — unless someone hits the County Attorney with a clue bat, Walker will initially be convicted, the courts being what they are these days.

He should win on eventual appeal; though Ghu only knows how high the appeals will have to go. It’s going to be expensive, so if you can, you might contribute a little something to his GiveSendGo legal fund.

And once Walker’s record is cleared, he needs to sue the ever-loving s–t out of the idiot deputies and the County Attorney. None of them can claim good faith ignorance of the law since…

Walker informed the deputy of the federal laws around PMFs and not requiring a serial number if for personal use. And since he is a lawful gun owner, no restrictions on owning them. The deputies detained Walker for several hours, and confiscated his firearms.

Yes, the 18 U.S. Code § 242 – Deprivation of rights under color of law lawsuit should be amusing. False arrest, deprivation of rights, malicious prosecution. I could probably think of a few more.

PRK Gov. Newscum Wants A Constitutional Convention

The purpose of which would be to gut the Second Amendment, of course. On paper, anyway. I figure this is really just a PR stunt for the Presidential run that many folks think he’s planning. He should get out of Kalifornia and meet real people more often; I don’t think this would go as he wishes.

Gavin Newsom wants 28th Amendment for guns in U.S. Constitution
Gov. Gavin Newsom is seeking an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would restrict gun ownership — a daunting and likely quixotic response to the deadliest wave of mass shootings in U.S. history that would nonetheless position California as the most aggressive state in the union on gun control.

Specifically, he wants:

The 28th will enshrine 4 widely supported gun safety freedoms — while leaving the 2nd Amendment intact:

1) Raising the minimum age to purchase a gun to 21

2) Universal background checks

3) A reasonable waiting period for gun purchases

4) Banning the civilian purchase of assault weapons

Note these are the usual human/civil rights infringements that Dims have failed to legislate nationally with simple House and Senate majorities. Yet somehow he would have you think that this could pass with with two-thirds supermajorities, and then be ratified by three-fourths of all the states.

Color me dubious in a time when the majority of states are rolling back Second Amendment rights infringements.

That in itself is interesting enough, but apparently the delusional, wanna-be king of America is going a little farther, and wisely trying to bypass the pesky Congressional supermajority problem.

The effort positions California at the forefront of the fight for increased gun restrictions. Newsom and the state Legislature in Sacramento are set to kickoff a nationwide process that would require support from 34 states to trigger a convention.

A Constitutional Convention! That skips Congress and only requires two-thirds of the states to kick off. And just maybe it could happen.

Because I think, assuming Newscum is serious about it and not merely pushing publicity for a potential White House run, he may have forgotten something: One does not call a Constitutional Convention to only vote on the one single proposed Amendment you want. With a Convention, everything is on the table.

Recall that the last time we held a Constituonal Convention, the entire Articles of Confederation got chucked out, and we ended up with the Constitution (and eventually that Second Amendment that so annoys the Dick-tator of Kalifornia). All sorts of things could end up in there. For instance, we already have this demand

Raising the age to buy a gun should come with raising the age to vote. If I can’t buy a gun yet because I’m too immature, I’m also too immature to pick who has the nuclear codes.

Hey! The Lefties could codify the oft-cited “separation of church and state;” and we could toss in separation of science and education from state. Incorporated to the states, naturally.

Perhaps new language clarifying the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, to read:

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. Violation of those rights shall be a capital offense.

The powers delegated to the United States by the Constitution shall be strictly limited to those explicity enumerated. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people; and any attempt by the United States to exercise undelegated and unenumerated powers shall be treated as a High Crime tantamount to treason with the death penalty as a a potential penalty.

Any attempt to exercise undelegated and unenumerated powers under the guise of claiming the action promotes the general Welfare SHALL be a capital offense and the death penalty mandatory upon conviction.

We could take a hint form H. Beam Piper’s Lone Star Planet (A Plant for Texans), and make killing politicians for malfeasance and misfeasance a crime only to the extent that the punishment exceed the crime. I like that one.

But those are half measures. Twenty-something years ago, just for fun, I drafted a little constitution-style document. It was based on L. Neil Smith’s Covenant of Unanimous Consent (which fictionally replaced the Bill of Rights in his “Probability Broach” alternate universe). In a later novel, some potential loopholes in the Covenant were mentioned. My little document was an attempt to close those, and maybe some other problems confirmed statists might try to exploit.

Should Newscum somehow manage to call a Constitutional Convention, I swear to G-d that I will push for my Articles of Individuals to be adopted. With zero success, I’ve no doubt. My fallback will then be my 9/10th improvements and the “general Welfare abuse capital punishment clause.

Yes, Newscum, everything is on the table at a Convention, and anything can be added to the table, too.

WA “Assault Weapon” Ban: A Dangerous Take On The Derivation Of Constitutional Authority

Yesterday, June 6, 2023, federal judge Robert J. Bryan issued a ruling denying a preliminary injunction against Washington’s “assault weapon” ban. In my not so humble opinion, this proves that it is high time for the elderly –88 years old — Bryan to retire.

Reading his decision, a couple of points jumped out at me. I’ll begin with one that would almost be funny if the topic, victim disarmament, weren’t so serious.

Semiautomatic assault weapons represent a significant technological change – they allow a shooter to fire as fast as they can pull the trigger, unlike previous guns.

Possibly the mentally challenged judge meant that such arms can be fired repeatedly “as fast as they can pull the trigger.” But specificity in law matters; we’ll take him at his specific written word, and note that any firearm, since the medieval hand cannons fired by setting a light to the touch hole, can be fired simply by pulling the trigger.

Allowing that maybe in his dotage he did mean rapid repeat fire…

Paging Jerry Miculek!. Eight rounds on target. In one second. With a revolver, not a semiautomatic firearm.

Moving on to the very next sentence:

While semiautomatic weapons like the AR-15 were invented in the 1950s, the growth in ownership of semiautomatic assault weapons proliferated in the late 2000s.

Invented in the 1950s? The first successful semiautomatic rifle design came in 1885. Bryan only missed it by seventy years. And the first semiautomatic pistol was 1891.

Bryan, please note those were in the 19th century. We’re currently in the 21st century, and the basic idea of semiautomatic firearms is hardly innovative anymore.

That part was merely morbidly amusing (if you have my sort of twisted sense of humor). Bryan’s explanation of why Washington’s ban does not run afoul of the Supreme Court’s Bruen ruling (which requires to be constitutional, a gun control law must be based in a general historical tradition) is scary. “General” meaning that isolated local laws don’t count; and “historical” meaning somewhere in the chronological neighborhood of the passage of the Second Amendment or earlier.

For an example of an applicable law, he cites local laws against carrying — not a ban on ownership — of Bowie knives not even invented until decades after the proper historical time frame. Bryan is clearly losing it.

Nay, completely lost it. Because he also cites…. Well, in his own words:

[C]omplete bans on the possession of certain weapons (as opposed to laws forbidding the carrying of those weapons) did not occur as much in our early Nation’s history because the federal and state governments did not have the “maturity, powers, tools, or resources” to implement and enforce a complete ban.

Yes, he cited nonexistent laws which he supposes would have been passed and enforced, if only the poor government had the sheer raw power to get away with it. In his mind, it seems that constitutional authority derives from tyrannical, police state force not the ratified agreed-to words of the actual document.

And I guess he figures that Washington has accumulated sufficient power now, so it’s all good.

We’ll see. If constitutional authority now comes down to who has the most guns and accurate targeting, and not the legal language of the Constitution and courts, Bryan may be putting himself out of work, retirement or no. After all, mightn’t some people decide that if might makes right, is on the side of the heaviest artillery; why not skip wasting money on court challenges and go straight to Bryan’s preferred test-by- fire-power?

This ruling was so bizarre that I wondered if his… thinking was reflected in other cases he’s heard. The very first case I found in a quick search was Tingley v. Equal Rights Washington, in which a therapist was challenging the state’s ban on “conversion therapy. Bryan ruled against Tingley.

Regardless of your personal take on “convesrion therapy” (“curing” people of homosexuality), Bryan’s rationale in this should also raise questions about his mental competence.

The prohibited conduct at issue here, performing conversion therapy, is analogous to doctor giving a prescription for marijuana because it involves engaging in a specific act designed to provide treatment. In contrast, the speech at issue in NIFLA, notice requirements that regulated the information a provider must give to its patients, is more analogous to a doctor recommending that a patient use marijuana because both consider information that a provider may discuss with a patient.

TL;DR: You can have opinions on “conversion therapy” or medical marijuana, and discuss the options with a patient. But you can no more conduct/prescribe “conversion therapy” than you could prescribe medical marijuana. Prescribing marijuana is unlawful, so “conversion therapy is unlawful. Or so Bryan thinks.

Except that in Washington, it is lawful to prescribe medical marijuana, and had been for decades when Bryan made that error-riddled ruling.

You’d think that a professionally, and mentally, competent judge could come up with a better comparison. Or at least one that wasn’t exactly the fricking opposite of what he was claiming. Considering the two cases together…

“Might makes right.” That’s one heck of a constitutional test. And I can hardly wait to see what the Ninth Circuit makes of the proposition. Do they uphold the state’s ban, or do they do a quick head count to see who has more guns and might — the state or the people — and decide accordingly?

Why We Fight

Today is D-Day, and I suppose in a lead up to D-Day Shimshon and I have been watching some (what I consider) relevant movies and documentaries. We started watching Band of Brothers last week and a couple of nights ago finished it. One of the episodes is called “Why We Fight”. If you haven’t seen Band of Brothers I’ll give you the relevant point. The war is pretty much over, a few of the men from Easy Company are out in the woods on patrol, just kind of clearing the area when they run across the first concentration camp they’ve seen. They don’t know what it is. They send one of the men back to headquarters to try to find an officer. He finds Dick Winters (who was a very good officer, and I suspect and even better human) and the next scene is of a few officers; Ronald Speirs, Lewis Nixon and some of the rest of Easy Company including Joesph Liebgott. This mattered because Liebgott spoke German. In the first part of the episode many of the men had been questioning why had they given up the years of their lives to live in trenches and fight bad men. After they saw the concentration camps, and Liebgott was able to ask them questions and relay the answers to the officers they all more fully understood the situation. Dick Winters later tells Lewis Nixon the Russians found camps that were even worse. I suspect that may have been the first time some of the boys had seen that level of depravity and evil that can be inflicted on fellow human beings. The next lesson the men learned was “cultured, civilized” people are perfectly capable of standing by and allowing the atrocities, murder and starvation of innocent people. When the men of Easy talked to the town people they all denied knowing anything about it. Apparently one of the Generals had a brilliant idea. The townspeople were hauled out to the concentration camp to bury the bodies. The trait is easily visible today and when someone is being attacked there will be 4,352 TikTok, YouTube and FakeBook videos of the whole thing. Of someone like Daniel Penny stepping in to help others? Not so many.

The next atrocity to be fought was in Israel. You see the Not So Great Britain was there. Last night Shimshon and I watched the 2014 Documentary The Forsaken Promise. This is the whole documentary. Not sure how long it will be there.

The League of Nations trusted Britain to establish a national home for the Jews in their historic homeland, Israel.

The “Mandate for Palestine,” an historical League of Nations document, laid down the Jewish legal right to settle anywhere in western Palestine, a 10,000-square-miles3 area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

The legally binding document was conferred on April 24, 1920 at the San Remo Conference, and its terms outlined in the Treaty of Sèvres on August 10, 1920. The Mandate’s terms were finalized and unanimously approved on July 24, 1922, by the Council of the League of Nations, which was comprised at that time of 51 countries,4 and became operational on September 29, 1923.5

The “Mandate for Palestine” was not a naive vision briefly embraced by the international community in blissful unawareness of Arab opposition to the very notion of Jewish historical rights in Palestine. The Mandate weathered the test of time: On April 18, 1946, when the League of Nations was dissolved and its assets and duties transferred to the United Nations, the international community, in essence, reaffirmed the validity of this international accord and reconfirmed that the terms for a Jewish National Home were the will of the international community, a “sacred trust” – despite the fact that by then it was patently clear that the Arabs opposed a Jewish National Home, no matter what the form.

But despite being trusted by the entire league of nations to re-establish Israel (the nation, the tribes) in Israel (the land) Britain did not do that. In fact, Britain not only limited the number of Jews fleeing hitler and the nazis, they sent refugee ships back. But, so did America under the Demoncratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The British disarmed the Jews living in Israel as best as they could, while arming the arabs. In the riots of the 1920s and onward the Brits would stand back and allowed the Jews they had disarmed to be slaughtered. One horrific example at 1:45:00 into the documentary details the attack of 13 April 1948 when a medical convoy was trying to get to the Hadassah hospital in the besieged Jerusalem. The convoy was carrying patients, medical personnel and supplies, it was stopped and attacked by arabs. The Brits checked every convoy trying to get into Jerusalem to make sure that none of the Jews had any weapons, so they were defenseless against the arabs. The people were butchered. No, I didn’t mean killed. There was a British outpost nearby and the soldiers wanted to intervene and were told to stand down. It is reported some of the soldiers cried as they watched the slaughter and mutilation that followed. But they didn’t do anything. There are photographs of the aftermath in the video.

When the refugee ships came in to Israel, the Brits would put the Jews in one of several prison camps. One woman was in prison for five years, she and her husband had escaped, but she lost her whole family to the nazis in the concentration camps. She told of how the British soldiers would beat the prisoners, really they were quite despicable. But if you look at the pattern of the Brits…..America vs. Britain, Ireland vs Britain, Israel vs. Britain….Britain has not been on the side of good in any of those, and in the beginning of WWII Chamberlain made appeasement with hitler, so.

There was really nothing Israel could do about it at this point. They didn’t have control of their own country. The British did, the Jewish Israelis just had to suffer at the whims of the anti-Semitic British government. Oh, yes I did mean to say that. Watch the documentary. See, when your local politicians are not in control, when they have to bow to the will of others who may not have the very best welfare of your nation at heart when making decisions, it will not turn out well. This is something to keep in mind as the traitorous criminal Joe Biden tries to turn U.S. over to the benevolent dictatorship of the W.H.O. with the pandemic treaty. WHO Pandemic Treaty Is a Threat to Liberty. They are already talking about digital tracking. Seems the injection mandates and green passports were just such a dandy paradigm that a lot of the framework is already in place. We already have the FIB so we have the SS who are willing to throw political opposition in the Gulag to prevent them from speaking out. According to whistle blower Steven Friend, it’s not the rank and file of the FIB, instead is the leadership at the top.

Which brings me to leadership. Both examples are from WWII, both of these men came from humble backgrounds. I don’t know that either of them ever aspired to fame, but G-d put something in them that was needed on that day at that time, leadership.

The first man I mentioned earlier, Ronald Speirs, clip is 1:26 seconds long.

The next man I think I may have written about before, General Norman Dutch Cota, he puts paid to the notion you have to be in your prime and in great shape to make great things happen. 7:05 seconds long.

These men fought, because they knew what lay behind them were things they loved and cared about, family, friends and a way of life, their country and freedom to live their lives as they chose. They may have known some of what they were fighting against in front of them, but I don’t think in the beginning they even fully grasped the depth of evil they were up against. Man’s inhumanity to man.

I believe G-d puts the ability to fight back against evil into every creature. I believe we have the ability to fight on despite odds being against us. Every creature.

That cat absolutely is inspiring, and yes, it’s a cat not a small dog. Dogs don’t slap or bat like that. It’s a partisan guerilla cat! It gets in, gets the job done and gets out. A Chuck Norris cat.

Yes, we have a lot stacked against U.S. right now, and many of our fellow citizens have fallen victim to the Fifth Generation Warfare being conducted against U.S. by our own corrupt government. So we may not have as many allies as we should, and have more enemies than we deserve. But we don’t get to choose that bit. We do get to choose if we will pick up the torch that was handed U.S. by the men and women of WWII. It’s all about our mindsets.  Maybe we will talk to people, maybe we will contact politicians, maybe we will go to political rallies and meetings, maybe we will donate money to people like Sen. Josh Hawley that actually do fight back. Goodness knows Soros donates to the likes of Kim Fox, Kim Gardner and their ilk. Maybe we just talk to our kids and grandkids and make sure they understand truth and reality and try to offset some of the damage being done in public schools. Maybe we become more informed about issues. Maybe we join our local grassroots Second Amendment group. But there will be some way for each of us to fight, because 79 years after D-Day, we have a far better idea of why we fight than they did that day they landed on the beaches of Normandy.

This is Jim Quinn’s D-Day tribute, he’s been doing it for years. It starts after 42 seconds.

Memorial Day thoughts 2023

I was listening to one of my favorite radio shows today, The Tamar Yonah show, the episode is The US & Israel: Who is Dependent On Who?

As this is Memorial Day, I thought there were a few really interesting points. For Israelis the big ticket was probably the talk of Jerusalem day, but there were some points that really caught my attention.

Ok, at 6:13 in, while this isn’t one of the points for Memorial day, it amused me. Tamar mentioned that companies liked to hire Israelis. Sometimes over their local populations even. They speculated on why. Maybe because they had served in the IDF and had some real world experience, they’re more mature? Naw, I think that may be part of it, but it’s even simpler. They know what bathroom to use. I heard part of Matt Walsh today I believe it was. Now, I don’t know who did the man on the street questions. Maybe Charlie Kirk? Maybe Mark Dice, I dunno. But here’s how it went. These questions were to students at UCLA. I wrote down as much as I could remember. I was driving when I heard this.

Who was the first president?

Abraham Lincoln?

What ocean is on the east coast of the U. S.?

Didn’t know.

What country does the Queen of England rule over?

No idea I don’t get into politics.

What is the Capitol of the United States?

A) there isn’t one

B) California

Name the 3 Kardashian sisters:

Chloie Kourtney and Kim.

Bonus point if you can name the brother:

Robert.

And they will graduate, goodness only knows how many thousands, or hundreds of thousands, of dollars in debt which Demoncrats want U.S. to pay off. I want my money back.

At 22:52 in they are discussing the water and food crisis coming in Europe. Shocking considering the Dutch government has pretty much killed of many of the Dutch farmers. Who’d have thought taking farms away and limiting farming so you can create cities for invaders would cause a food shortage, but there ya go. Weird since they’ve got crop yield warnings.

Dr. Mordechai points out in the past when there were food and water shortage, countries went to war. But Europe really doesn’t have armies any more. Not really, and they don’t have young people to man them anyway. Then he gets into what does also affect U.S. Even if they did have young people and armies, they don’t have ammunition. They’ve sent it all to Ukraine. Ukraine uses more ammunition in a month than than America and Europeans manufacture together….in a year.

At 37 minutes in, Dr. Mordechai points out the U.S. has a crumbling military, with over priced and under preforming equipment. That the Russians are moping the floor in Ukraine, that they exploded 10s of ammunition depots and the Ukrainians were already short of ammo. He said Russia has excellent intelligence networks in Ukraine. That’s why the U.S. sent 300,000 rounds of 155 mm artillery ammunition that was marked for Israel and gave it to Ukraine, and most of that has been blown up, not used. Russian intelligence…they know where it is. At 39:04 in, he gives a quote to demonstrate the poor leadership of the military. “There is absolutely, when we get right down to deck plates, there is a moral challenge. Because there’s a lot of folks that have quite frankly joined the organization with a vision of what their days work would look like, and that’s rapidly morphing and changing.” Then they asked if someone could translate that. I’ll take a shot at it, pick me, pick me! I think it means men and women who love this country thought they were joining an organization devoted to defending America and her citizens, and now they are learning CRT or DIE and having transgender drag shows on military bases for their kids. Yeah, that would present a moral challenge for me as well.

Then they tried to figure out why and identical rocket, or mortar shell or artillery shell manufactured in Israel costs less than half of what it costs if it’s manufactured in the United States. Pick me! Pick me! I’ll take is Lloyd Austin still on the board of Raytheon for $100 Alex! I may have my game shows mixed up here. A missile for the Iron Dome defense system costs $50,000 if manufactured in Israel, if it’s manufactured by U.S. it costs $125,000.

So what’s the answer? Shimshon and I have been watching Band of Brothers, again. How do we make the sacrifice paid by so many valid? Well, from Today’s Tanya (The one size fits all manual) reading:

From the foregoing, the answer to the heretics [may be deduced],

and there is exposed the root of the error of those who are deemed heretics not because they deny that G-d created the world, but because they deny individual Divine Providence and the signs and miracles recorded in the Torah.

Why do they deny this when they readily admit that G-d created the world? It is because:

They err in their false analogy,

in comparing the work of G-d, the Creator of heaven and earth, to the work of man and his schemes.

When a silversmith has completed a vessel, that vessel is no longer dependent upon the hands of the smith,

and even when his hands are removed from it and he goes his way, the vessel remains in exactly the same image and form as when it left the hands of the smith.

In the same way do these fools conceive the creation of heaven and earth.

They imagine that heaven and earth, once created, no longer need their Creator. They therefore deny individual Divine Providence and the signs and miracles recorded in the Torah, inasmuch as these indicate that G-d continues to be involved with creation and from time to time chooses to change the course of nature through miraculous means.

However, their eyes are covered so that they do not see the great difference between the work of man and his machinations, which consists of [making] one existent thing out of [another, already] existent thing,

merely changing the form and appearance, e.g., from an ingot of silver to a vessel,

G-d did not simply create the world and walk away leaving it’s growth to teachers or activists who are trying to convince tiny children they aren’t they way G-d made them. That G-d made a mistake, and they, the counselors and activists and social media can help them remedy. And if they will only do as they are told all their teenage angst will be gone and SHAZAM! They will be happy forever and ever.

This last weekend was Shavuot, the giving on the Torah on Mount Sinai. We were created, we were nurtured and when we had devolved while in slavery in Egypt we were taken out of slavery with his mighty hand. Then we were given Torah (The Bible) which told us how we are to live, rules and guidelines for living a decent life. Including laws for self defense I might add.

We remember this, we know that G-d thinks our lives are valuable, he creates us, we face challenges that grow us stronger and he is there with us. Somehow he created people with an extra dose or desire to protect others, and today we honor those that have paid that price. I honor them with a grateful heart, and I thank their family who I’m sure will always miss them.

Garden City, Georgia Parks Gun Ban

It’s 2023; how is this still a thing in Georgia; cities banning lawful carry in parks?

Garden City, Georgia – Still In Prehistoric Times Regarding Georgia’s Gun Laws
Today, I spoke with a young lady at the Garden City, GA Police Dept., having been transferred there by City Hall. She relayed to me that according to Cpl. Wesley Soroken, firearms are not permitted in city parks or recreation areas, even for those with a “permit”, due to their city ordinance.

The ordinance, Sec. 60-5. – Firearms; weapons; tools., reads:

It shall be unlawful for any person to bring into or have in his possession in any park or recreation area:

((1)Any pistol or revolver or objects upon which loaded or blank cartridges may be used. Official starters, at authorized track and field events, are excepted from this restriction.
(2)Any burglar tools.
(3)Any rifle, shotgun, BB gun, air gun, spring gun, slingshot, bow, or other weapon in which the propelling force is gunpowder, a spring or air.

Well, railguns and linacs are still an option.

I have no idea, other than sheer, arrogant effrontery, why that is still on the Garden City books and the police still willing to actively enforce it. Georgia 2nd Amendment (previously Georgia Carry) spent years suing the bejeebus out of Georgia towns for doing exactly what Garden City is still doing.

And winning. Consistently. Because Georgia state is pretty clear on the subject in GA Code § 16-11-127:

c. Any lawful weapons carrier shall be authorized to carry a weapon as provided in Code Section 16-11-135 and in every location in this state not listed in subsection (b) or prohibited by subsection (e) of this Code section; provided, however, that private property owners or persons in legal control of private property through a lease, rental agreement, licensing agreement, contract, or any other agreement to control access to such private property shall have the right to exclude or eject a person who is in possession of a weapon or long gun on his or her private property in accordance with paragraph (3) of subsection (b) of Code Section 16-7-21, except as provided in Code Section 16-11-135. A violation of subsection (b) of this Code section shall not create or give rise to a civil action for damages.

Parks are not listed as prohibited areas.

Even better, Georgia has state preemption, under GA Code § 16-11-173:

b. 1. Except as provided in subsection (c) of this Code section, no county or municipal corporation, by zoning, by ordinance or resolution, or by any other means, nor any agency, board, department, commission, political subdivision, school district, or authority of this state, other than the General Assembly, by rule or regulation or by any other means shall regulate in any manner:

B. The possession, ownership, transport, carrying, transfer, sale, purchase, licensing, or registration of firearms or other weapons or components of firearms or other weapons;

Garden City should also take note of section g., which specifies minimum penalties for violating that law.

I am strongly tempted to take a drive up to Garden City and violate their little unlawful ordinance. Should one of their fine, if under-educated-on-the-law, officers issue me a citation, I would hand him a notice of my own. I would require him to sign the notice acknowledging that he is in violation of § 16-11-127 and § 16-11-173.

That citation and notice would then become exhibits in my hypothetical lawsuit, which would probably list the city and police department as defendants, and also you, the police chief, and the citation-issuing officer by name as individuals.

Might I suggest, as a more palatable alternative, that Garden City remove the unlawful language from the city ordinance, as well as any signage; and ensure that their police officers are informed that any attempt to cite people for a lawful activity could subject them to legal penalties?

Yes, I have brought this to the city’s attention. We’ll see if they respond wisely.

Yom Yerushalayim Miracles

As I watch the information come out about what Demoncrats and the corrupt intelligence services have done to our country over the last few years, I realize I’m due a reminder. A reminder that this world is G-d’s. He created it and us, we are to create a home for him in this world. And that brings me to the topic of today’s very short column. But, there are movies! You must however supply your own popcorn and drinks.

You see today, the 28th day of Iyar is Jerusalem Day! Yom Yrushalayim יום ירושלים

On that day in 1967, despite Israel’s very best efforts not to reunite Jerusalem, it was. Many Israeli soldiers paid a very high price for it. But many Israeli citizens had been paying a high price before it was reunited in terms of ongoing terrorism.

Here is some back ground on what lead up to the Six Day War

http://zelmanpartisans.com/?p=6098

http://zelmanpartisans.com/?p=50231

http://zelmanpartisans.com/?p=4308

http://zelmanpartisans.com/?p=3196

Yes, I’ve written about it once or twice.

But this year I’ll give you a link to a set of old photographs taken in Jerusalem, I think all are pre-1967

There a links to many film clips in those columns, but I can’t leave it without putting a couple of movies in.

This one is about the battle, the one in 1967 and the one going on now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFWAzMC-_7I

You must understand the police will not allow Jews to prostrate themselves on the Temple Mount and pray. Now Muslims? Oh yeah, they can throw rocks, fireworks attack and kill people and then run and hide in the mosque. They can have picnics and desecrate things, that’s all “status quo”. Sort of like Demoncrats and peaceful riots. They destroy things, that’s what they do.

This next one is short, but very interesting:

Rabbi Zvi Yehudah Kook, the Rosh Yeshivah (Dean) of the Merkaz HaRav Yeshivah in Jerusalem, addressed his students on Israel Independence Day, 1967, just two and a half weeks before the outbreak of the Six Day War. In the video, the rabbi can be heard bemoaning the fact that Israel’s holy sites and cities were all in the hands of her enemies, and Jews had no access to the holy places.

You know, Israel tried to do everything it could to keep peace. They tried to compromise with entities that hate them and want to see them destroyed. They tried it, they tried to act reasonably and honorably. And all that happened was that was used against them. Israel told Jordan not to get involved, Israel had been helping the King of Jordan whom some of the other Arab countries had been threatening. And yet, when King Hussein heard the Arab version of cnn and msnbc saying they had Israel in a box, the walls were closing in on them. Any day now they were going to be destroyed forev….oh wait. Wrong topic for those particular lies. Those lies came from another group that want to destroy a different country and a different leader. But, like people that are on their 17th Covid booster, King Hussein believed the Egyptians and Syrians that they were ripping the Israelis a new one. And so, they jumped in and began shelling Israeli civilian areas in Jerusalem. And G-d gave a miracle paid for in the blood of innocent Israelis fighting throughout the city. The odds were horrible, Syria, Egypt and Jordan against Israel. The soldiers talked about how they didn’t really have maps or much familiarity with the parts of Jerusalem they were fighting in. Some went down wrong alleys, took wrong turns, but they fought on. There comes a time when you realize with some parties there can and will never be a compromise possible. Peace will only come when one side is defeated. Much like the battle of good and evil, will you compromise with evil to achieve peace? Israel must never again give up land for peace, and conservatives must quit trying to reach reasonable compromise with the left which has been taken over by the communists. As they said they would. The media will portray U.S. as “extremists” and “radicals”, no matter what they do. Trying to compromise with evil is always a losing proposition. They have the media (propaganda arm of the communist party) to spin their story anyway they want it.

And that brings me to this point, Should You Trust It Will Be Good When Everything Looks Bad?

Here’s a story, told in the Talmud,1 to recall whenever ominous clouds stand overhead:

When King Chizkiah (Ezekiah) fell ill, Isaiah the prophet came to visit him. But rather than console him, he announced a heavenly decree: He was to die in this world and he would not receive a share in the World to Come.

Isaiah,” countered the king. “Cease your prophecy and leave! So have I received from my ancestor David: Even as a sharp sword rests upon your neck, do not refrain from pleading for divine mercy.”

Then he turned to the wall and began to pray from the innermost of his heart—and he lived another 15 glorious years.

I realize things look rather grim, but that’s why I think this is a good time to remember that the despite all appearances, there can be things in play that we have no idea. Would things be better now if the Communist Moshe Dayan hadn’t given Har HaBayit back to Jordan? Of course. That’s why G-d gave it to us. But I suppose it’s best to end this little column with bitachon (from the above link)

Really, it’s beyond faith. Faith is when, despite all that you know and see, you hold tight to the conviction that G‑d is good and all He does is good, even if for the moment you can’t fathom how it is good—because it comes from such a high place that it is impossible for you to fathom.

But trust—bitachon—is an emotional response. To trust in G‑d is to stay calm and confident, just as if you could see the good clearly and enjoy it with all your senses.

Even if you can’t achieve such calm, you can imagine someone who really does live in such a way. You can say to yourself, “I know that this is so and it makes sense to me that I should feel calm and confident, just like Zusia of Anipoli or some other great tzadik.” Imagine that calmness, embrace the moment, and it will become much easier to attain it.

And of course, my favorite movie clip. Mordechai (Motta) Gur, at 24 seconds in. Whole thing is under a minute though.

Happy Jerusalem Day!

May G-d bless U.S. with many miracles too, and may Moshiach comes speedily and in our days.

Family

I’ve been thinking a lot about Mother’s day and family.

I’ve got to set the record straight about something though. In my last column G-d Bless Texas in what I can only say was a fit of naïve and utterly unsupported optimism I thought Gov Abbott was actually going to try to do everything he could to stop the country being invaded. One would think I should have known better by now. I can only say in my defense I still haven’t sent the Nigerian Prince the $500 that will net me a million. There was another posting by the wonderfully informed (and accurate) Michael Yon saying that the whole thing was what he calls a “Gate 42”.

In clear words, Gate 42 is a stage. A stage like BLM plaza in front of the White House. Created to draw cameras, disseminate propaganda, and provide the CNN-sorts the footage and sound bites they need to work within WEF-OGUS guidelines. Basically, the Gate 42s are like fascist-barbecues.

Yes, I feel stupid, I fell for it. I guess I just wanted to believe a politician somewhere was actually doing something useful. Again, I know. My apologies.

Now, housekeeping completed, back to my scheduled column, family.

I believe our traditional family, and family traditions have been under assault for a long time from the radical leftists. I think there are a couple of reasons for that, one is the radical left wants to eliminate the traditional family, and the close bonds that the group usually has with each other. The other is the left just wants to eliminate people. Period.

Most of these clips are under 2 minutes each, they all feature competent, experienced doctors that have spoke out against big pharma, using things like, you know, experience, data and studies. Therefore they are not “experts” hehehe, that word will forever be a punchline in my mind.

First up Dr. Robert Malone, one of the inventors of the mRNA technology.

Dr. Jessica Rose

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

That segue to RFK brings us ever closer to my first point, all of these doctors and RFK have been so heavily censored the last few years. Came as a big shock to some of them, they used to be on the political left. They were probably as shocked as the residents of Chicago that are now at losing out on government paid housing to the illegal aliens.

If the pharmaceutical and medical industrial complex don’t want something to come out in the open, it probably won’t. I’d say ask Tucker Carlson, but, well. You know.

But all these people now looking to eliminate humans have the experimental mRNA gene therapy injections, experiment mRNA in food without telling people and it will be a while yet before we know how many will die or be disabled from those things.

Now they are pushing children to become transgender, that will involve a lifetime of pharmaceutical drugs. The screening process may be a bit more rigorous than this, but it doesn’t sound like it.

https://youtube.com/shorts/yRQB61VWmw8

One of the more vocal about what the transition process was like, has been Chloe Cole. The way she and others who want to de-transition have been treated has been appalling.

Detransitioner Chloe Cole announces lawsuit against hospitals ‘for pushing her into medical mutilation’

Former trans kid shares agony of side effects from ‘mutilating’ medical transition: ‘I’ve gotten no help’

I heard an interview with Chloe one time, in it she talked about how her parents wanted to be supportive of her, they didn’t want her transition, feeling that if she would just wait till she was a bit older things might be more settled in her mind. But then the “counselors” told her parents that if they didn’t let her transition, she had something like a greater than 90% or so chance of killing herself. They were asked “do you want a live son or a dead daughter?” I can believe that, truth is not a value of the left. She said her parents were trying to do the best the could to be good parents but this was really uncharted waters for the family.

Chloe will not be bearing children. Neither will any of the other people who are having medical mutilation procedures done.

Cringe Jean-Pierre Accuses Americans Who Oppose Transgender Measures of Contributing to “LGBTQI+ Kids” Considering Suicide

But those experimental hormone treatments may be having an effect. How Many Mass Shootings Have Been Carried Out by Transgender People?

It’s not an unreasonable question when you consider this statement by RFK jr.

RFK Jr. Shakes Up Big Pharma With the Inconvenient Truth About Mass Shootings

This question isn’t particularly new. I had a mentor back in the early 2000s that pointed out to me that so many of the young committing egregious acts were on mind altering prescriptions. He saw the pattern back then. It hasn’t gotten better and now they are coming at the kids from a whole new direction.

I feel really bad for parents, they are trying so hard to stand up for their children. To be strong, brave Moms and Dads and protect their offspring. Then they have doctors and schools and “experts” lying to them so they can’t even make an informed decision. Then if they stand up anyway, they face threats of physical violence from the lunatic left. For all the censoring of conservatives on FakeBook especially during the 2020 election, since things were labeled “hate speech” Fakebook is allowing a group called Loudon County Love Warriors to have a page. “I Would Shoot Him” – Radical Leftist Group with Ties to Elected Virginia Democrats Threatens Parents for Bravely Objecting to School Board’s Marxist Agenda

Their goal is to silence by threats of loss of livelihood or life, publicly, on Fakebook they make these threats. They openly state they plan to ruin these people’s lives or kill them. If this is “all about the children” how does growing up in poverty or without a parent who loved you help children? Merrick Garland’s DOJ? Oh no, they’re investigating the parents, not the terrorists. These parents know this, and yet they are still fighting upstream to protect their kids.

Our country is in deep trouble due to Biden voters, spineless Republicans and whoever has his hand up Biden’s rump and is controlling his mouth because we know Beijing Biden & his crime family aren’t really running things. They’re just profiting off the grift of betraying our country. But all we have to do is look around the world, almost all of the countries are under attack.

Fake Refugees Destroy Ireland Hotel Industry – America Next?

Too late, already here!

America Last: NY Hotels Evict Struggling Homeless Veterans to Make Room for Illegal Aliens

But you know what? There are still people like Todd Bensman, Ben Bergquam, Owen Shroyer, Oscar El Blue, and Michael Yon (who is everywhere) are still showing up on the border and trying to bring us information. People like Sen. Josh Hawley, John Kennedy, Ron Johnson and Rand Paul, and some others have been speaking out and trying to hold criminals accountable.

If you watch nothing else, watch this short video. I know it’s elephants, but it has nothing to do with politics. It has everything to do with Mother’s day. I would say being a good Mom is one of the hardest jobs in America these days.

The Father came in at the end and the mother and father worked together relentlessly to save their little calf. Who put that desire there? Who put that knowledge, physical ability and stamina there? Who put that love there, created that bond? G-d.

This is how I think G-d created our families to be. And that’s why the left has tried so hard to disrupt the bonds of family, through so many methods and the covid lockdowns and experimental injections were very effective at tearing some families apart. You add in politics and the myriad of other things that can divide people and I suspect some splits will never be mended. But even then, G-d is still in charge, and he still has a plan. Never doubt that. We also still have free will and the ability to make choices. So for those that have families, hold them close, don’t let the globalist left sever those bonds. And some families aren’t made up of blood kin, but close friends, sometimes closer than blood kin. But those people become families. I heard something in a TV show “The lone wolf dies in winter, but the pack survives.” I wouldn’t say it’s 100% true, but I suspect there is a lot of truth in it. We need to buoy each other when we can. This spirit, the spirit of this elephant family, that’s real, that’s in most people. Despite all the crazy that swirls around us, U.S. we have this. G-d created us this way, it’s in our DNA. And us? Well, we are family.
