If you're going camping don't fall I don't want you to need more knee surgery.

Went camping, crawled all over the Rocky Mountains, and emerged uninjured. Good times!

Memory seems to fail me, but, is there not both an Organized

Forgive,oh please, the slippage of numbed fingers from yonder keyboard.I was trying to understand the differences between Organized and Unorganized Militias, on the Federal and on the State level.( and what about in Territories, Districts and Possessions).

Yes, organized militia is known as National Guard.

All men 18-45 are in the unorganized militia but subject to duty in war since 1956, 10 U.S. Code § 246

I’ve read that the National Guard is administered by the individual States until such time that they are called-upon or Federalized . And, some States also have a State Guard, strictly for thatState’s use. I am obviously not an attorney.Is what Ihave noted correct?

Mockery is also an excellent way to disarm a narcissistic psychopath Globalist.

Use bigger fish,easier to hit-or put something made,perhaps, by Pfizer, in the water to slow their swimming.

That will make them deformed and slow for sure. Either that or floating

Yes but they keep winning it all, owning the Libs is a slave’s ill advised joke when reality is they own you.

What i like the most about mockery is how, with repeated use, it gradually emboldens the mocker with a louder voice and conviction. This is helpful in all facets of resistance. My neighbor installed a security light that shines right into our kitchen, and blinds me when I walk up to my own house at night. No matter what time it is, I loudly yell 'I hate that fucking light'. The first time, I could not find my voice, I barely spoke it. Every time I can say it just a bit louder.

Bravo!!!! Shoot it w spray paint 🤣🤣🤣

Yes, once the masses start seeing mockery not fear, cowardice, and compliance , they will join up with the rest of us.

Greatly enjoyed this article. Especially by "a marginal historian named Chris Bray, in a dissertation that generated no excitement of any kind in academia, argued that the universal white male militia obligation was doomed by something else: widespread irritation and popular resistance". Yes! Amen to that! I also laughed out loud. No excitement? None?

What Chris didn't say is that no dissertation generates excitement in academia (or anywhere else).

It's exciting for the person it liberates from grad skool (as long as we do take the exit).

As Tom Luongo says, we need to become ungovernable.

We already are considered ungovernable.

Which is why we have sham elections backed by troops.

This is why the price of everything but especially fuel and food are skyrocketing.

Got baby formula?

Yes, the Irish too were considered ungovernable, and then by 1847 they were reduced by 2/3.

The Jews of Germany also considered ungovernable, and…

We’re not just going to be replaced. We’re at the start of being reduced to manageable, that is to say governable numbers.

Cracked Court Martial this weekend. I already know I’m going to have so many stories to tell people (that they won’t ask to hear, but they’re gonna). Amazing analogy here.

Chris, thank you. This is a fabulous reminder to ignore them. All of them. They live in a made up world that does not reflect reality. Mocking them is a good strategy, but ignoring them is even better.

Dad and I give your commentary a resounding thumbs up without a hint of parental prejudice.

Reminds me of a case about 40 years ago. Skidmore, Mo was being terrorized by a BAD dude named Ken McElroy. He was 'connected', so the police wouldn't touch him. The town took him out, and then had a collective memory failure. State and federal officials, who hate real justice more than anything else, came down hard, but the town held firm.

Thanks for this, what a great story. Difficult to see anything "wrong" in what happened. Rabid animals get put down, not so..?

Fascinating tale. As a student of history, this was all new to me.

Let’s all be the citizens of Heath, Ma.

Mr. Bray; Democracy is soldiers voting- or its fraud.

From Athens forward.

Moreover this non assent won’t work, isn’t working , and anyone not assenting in our world will not be employed, will soon have the Dole cut off, won’t have a credit card, bank account, and probably not a smart phone.

This person could have a life and indeed success but only as a criminal, currently higher status than citizens.

Would you recommend this course for China or Eastern Europe in the 1980s?

Probably not.

To conflate our Federal government of 1826 with this insatiable and insane Levitation is confusing Kerensky with Stalin or perhaps Mao.

Finally to return to Democracy is soldiers voting or its fraud- even “The Free” have obligations. Tell me why those who risk nothing should have the vote?

???

Is this fair to those that risk?

Can those that risk trust those who don’t?

What you are saying is that it can only work to do nothing, if there is no consequence for doing nothing? And that in the case where there is no consequence, the government is already so weak that doing nothing, is just a thing you can do in a crumbling state?

With our current "do nothing = not taking the vaccine" we're able to "do nothing" because the state is already in shambles?

In that case we dont need to fear having our credit card, or bank account taken by the state due to our "do nothing". But perhaps we need to fear having our credit card and bank account turn into nothing due to widespread system/state failure?

Or will a stronger state simply appear shortly, where "do nothing" is not an option?

I think democracy is fraud, no matter who is voting? When was the last time the people decided anything of actual importance? If it worked, then why the heck have we decided that 1% of the population should have 90% of our resources?

Why risk it all for a symbolic vote? Can those who risk trust those who force them to risk for nothing?

"So: In 1792, Congress passed a law saying that every white male between the ages of eighteen and forty-five could have his testicles examined by a neighbor" I guess that's where the expression "love thy neighbor as thyself" came from.

Chris- the men of Heath could do that because their ancestors had exterminated the local “Creek” if you will.

Had the men of Heath played that game with Andrew Jackson- or if they had tried it say 1675 during King Philips War the men of Heath would be dead.

The truth is the people you need to do this - this being simply refusing duty - are the cops and the soldiers, and you just saw the cops do it.

In Uvalde.

You may shortly see the soldiers do it (I’m retired in 3 weeks 🪖).

You saw DOD do it (do nothing) on Jan 6 (that wasn’t nobility, it was cowardice and wind gauging).

So it’s happening.

But you won’t like it.

No one liked Uvalde.

You think you’ll like it on a Continental scale?
