First a warning: This blog is Alternative Media and thus considered by the Department of Homeland Security as part of Domestic Terrorism. If you value your life and do not want to be harassed by the Feds, please leave immediately.

The latest idiocy/insanity/prejudice coming out of DHS is the Domestic Extremism Lexicon. I read through it and according to Ms. Napolitano’s Boys and Girls if you happen to have a blog, are into guns and “oppose most federal and state laws, regulations, and authority (particularly firearms laws and regulations)“, are opposed to illegal immigration,  your “beliefs to those commonly associated with the American Revolution” and God Forbid you happen to believe in  “the original 10 amendments (Bill of Rights) to the U.S. Constitution” you are a 100% unrepentant Domestic Terrorist. And if you believe that Taxes are too high and contrary to what Our Country stands for, you will probably will be shot on sight.

I hate dwelling on politics. The original intention of this blog was on the right of self defense and the elimination of Gun Free Zones where criminals and lunatics are given government-sponsored killing spreads to do their malevolent chores. But what’s coming out of Washington is downright scary and even more malevolent plus I seen it before and we are in for and it will not be pretty.

Demonizing of your enemies is and old trick. Make them look less than human, threatening to your peace and well being, associate them with known bad guys and soon enough you will have the popular support to restrict them. Bunching up Tea Party protesters with the Suicide Bombers, Sleeper Cells and Eco Terrorists is a stroke of genius if the message is taken without proper perspective or counterpoint. Mainstream Media, legs still tingling will eat and regurgitate such idiotic report without even considering its veracity or even if it has an inkling of common sense. You as a law abiding gun owner who has never committed a crime, never plotted against the government, never bombed a federal building or sent money to overseas to Hamas will suddenly be thrown in with the likes of Abu Nidal, Timothy McVeigh, Mohammed Atta and Jeff Luers.  However if you are lucky, you might be associated with William Ayres and be not only spared of further inquiry but probably get a high level job in this administration.

It seems to me that Ms. Napolitano et all are not quite aware of the hornet’s nest they stirred with their stupid memos. The Internet (A.K.A. Alternative Media) has thrown off the delicate balance of a controlled Media and it is more difficult nowadays to sell bullshit unadulterated and unchallenged. Add to that that if weapons and ammunitions sales to people on all sides of the political spectrum are any indication, the level of trust that the average citizen has about this administration’s respect for the Constitution, they have (or eventually will) to realize that they are up to an enormous task tgrying to sell the idea that we are a threat to National Security. But you must see thier point of view to understand ther pitiful thought process. It is quite simple yet scary, herte it goes.

They are the Government and thus they are the Nation.

That’s it, simple & succinct. In the best tradition of the Banana Republics, the People of the United States did not elect a representative government but an all powerful, shut-the-hell-up, do-what-I-tell-you democratic dictatorship. The individual is expendable against the great scheme of the The Nation/Government. The individual is expendable, bendable and to be shaped into whatever is needed to create the Walden Two of their dreams. Opposing views will not be tolerated no matter how peaceful and respectful they are or how law abiding the counterparts can be because with a scribble of the pen they can become malum prohibitum and their rights as Citizens terminated.

The problem for this Administration resides that we are not a Banana Republic and we are Citizens aware of our rights and willing to vote them out of office. The question for them is to figure out what kind of ballot will be used and I think they may not like any of the answers.

According to the FBI Director Robert Mueller, the possibility of a Mumbai-style attack in the US could be replicated seems to have the Government in somewhat nervousness. I work in the Hospitality Business and I am here to tell you that I am more than a little worried, I am scared shitless about the issue. By definition, hotel corporations are reactive in nature. They don’t want to change unless change falls on them like a mastodon in heat and then they will cry and complaint all the way to court. In a Hotel Security trade magazine a less than stellar article was written about the Mumbai attack and the genius writer came to the conclussion that the reason the attack was successful was because the terrorists gained access through a kitchen entrance thus laying the blame to an unlocked door. Are you frigging kidding me? A terrorist sporting an AK 47 and a backpack full of grenades has pretty much all the tools required to do an entrance anywhere in the hotel and using pretty much any door including the main entrance of the hotel.

Some less stupid and more insightful articles in different military and police website reveal that the first targets of the attack were anybody that looked like security. 99.99% of security officer that work at a hotel are unarmed and they may only have a radio for “defense” but still they were mowed down so the terrorist could have a wonderful time spreading the will of Allah via 7.62×39.

More and more people are now carrying a concealed weapon and although a sidearm is a poor match against a rifle, it beats being unarmed. If you spend any time in a hotel, you must now add to your list of security concerns the probability that a horny jihadist will decide that your trip to the latest amusement park off state or a business opportunity is a good time to crate mayhem.  Create a plan, be ready and be deadly if necessary. Again, do not depend on the hotel for your protection since we are trained only to be “good witnesses” and nothing else.

As for me, I’ll just bow my head and mumble quietly the Secret Service prayer: “Dear Lord. Not on my watch.”

Mumbai photographer: I wish I’d had a gun, not a camera. Armed police would not fire back

This a headline and pictures that are been published around the world. Terrorist attacking the  Chatrapathi Sivaji Terminal railway station in Mumbai, India, doing their deed completely unchallenged and the the sad lament of the photographer who realized he could do nothing more than being a good witness instead of stopping the massacre.

Although we hope an attack like this never happens in the US, the sad truth is that we cannot depend on hope and wishful thinking. And we cannot depend on government to save our lives. The terrorists in Mumbai initially targeted anything that was uniformed or visibly carried a weapon and then started on the civilians so the government sponsored “protection” was neutralized at the beginning of the attack. The rest was just a literal excursion into finding the most appropriate/desirable/random victim to be executed on the spot.

When I saw the first picture, my first reaction was of surprise at how nonchalant the terrorist were behaving. But it makes sense when you realize that they were unopposed in a target-rich environment. The second thought that went through my mind was: “Shooter, Do you understand the Course of Fire? Shooter ready, Stand By! (beep).”

For the benefits of those who got lost in the last sentence, that expression is the final questions & warnings that an IDPA shooters hears at competitions just before engaging targets.  And although we shoot paper targets that do not shoot back and these idiots were carrying & shooting AKs, they were easy prey for any IDPA, IPSC, ICORE, SASS or any competition shooter with barely six matches under his or her belt.  Somebody with a basic training in sidearms could have stopped two islamofacist in their unholy tracks.

Yet we hear that our leaders want to make all areas of mass transportation Gun Free Zones and not just those deemed sterile by federal law. In other words, they want to increase the tract of unprotected, target-rich environment for terrorists under the pretense on making us safer. If they have not figured out with Mumbai that those regulations beacons that attarct the criminal and the derranged, we will be facing many more of these government-sponosred massacres in the future.

I will take a momentary detour of the regular themes that occupy this blog so I can share with all my three readers the following information:

I recently took the Community Emergency Response Team training in which we had a 4 hour class on terrorism. The instructor, besides teaching the established points as written in the material gave us a small chat on islamofacist terrorist organizations within the USA. As time was short, he recommended a couple of books to further our knowledge of the situation. Yesterday Amazon came through and the books arrived and promptly started on one and, ladies and gents our noses are barely above the pool of fecal matter and we do not know it.

Holy War in the Home Front, The Secret Islamic Terror Network in the United States is 170+ pages of the loudest alarm I ever heard.  It describes how we are literally invaded by extreme Muslim terrorists and almost nothing has been done to protect us from them. And if that does not ticks you off to brain artery popping anger, wait till you hear the reason: Political Correctness.

The author, Harvey Kushner is not getting most of his information from deep undercover sources (he has them but keeps them anonymous) but from published government reports, legal documents and the terrorists own words. In case you still don’t get it, it means that the information has been out there for anybody in the media to see and do further investigation but remained untouched because it was politically incorrect to follow up. The same applies to our government and Law Enforcement agencies who we lay our trust in protecting our country. I have seen conspiracy cases against Organized Crime built and successfully prosecuted with less than 10% of the evidence presented in this book, yet the Washington mindset is so deeply corrupted with the fear of being labeled racist that the cases remain untouched, barely investigated or poorly prosecuted. The same applies to journalist who either because of fear or political convictions purposeful refuse to “connect the dots” and bring us the information we need to know ( Sarah Palin’s wardrobe seems more important than terrorists freely operating in our soil.)

I will not bother to go on. Get the book, now. No excuses. It is being sold for one miserable cent at Amazon which should be further proof on how ignorant we are on the issue. Stop being ignorant, information is key, get it.
