The things I’ve been warn­ing about have come to pass. The FBI has opened an inves­ti­ga­tion into the “alt-right.”  What do you think that means?  It means that they have wide rang­ing pow­er to do what­ev­er they want.  Who’s alt-right?  Who isn’t?  I’m not sure any­more.  As a cit­i­zen­ry, we’ve

The lib­er­al ter­ror prob­lem is decreas­ing. The gov­ern­ment is poised to come down on these groups.  And that was always the goal of lib­er­al ter­ror.  They want to increase gov­ern­ment pow­er until they bring about a total­i­tar­i­an state.  They can do that by win­ning or los­ing, as long as they

Just today, a Repub­li­can con­gress­man was shot, along with oth­ers, by a left­ist.  It’s more impor­tant than ever to work togeth­er for our mutu­al defense. The Crowd DefenseTM crowd­fund is oper­a­tional at this link:  https://www.americasfund.me/discover/9-causes/21-crowd-defense-trade-and-raw-trade-backpack-inser.  And, I have released the first draft of the pro­posed pol­i­cy, which is briefly con­tained in

The Berke­ley riot at the Milo Yiannopou­los event on Feb­ru­ary 1, 2017 is the riot that gal­va­nized a lot of us. Now, the woman famous­ly pep­per sprayed at the event has filed a law­suit against Berke­ley.  In case you don’t want to read the whole com­plaint, I am repro­duc­ing the

Self-defense isn’t good enough any­more because you could face an attack by sev­er­al hun­dred peo­ple. But, orga­niz­ing a group for defense presents a lot of prob­lems.  Sev­er­al ques­tions and exam­ples are pre­sent­ed below to high­light some of those prob­lems.  The analy­sis that fol­lows is not legal advice.  It is writ­ten

Sup­port the Project Here: https://www.americasfund.me/discover/9-causes/21-crowd-defense-trade-and-raw-trade-backpack-inser You’ve seen left­ist mobs attack Trump sup­port­ers and free speech activists. You’ve seen the police dis­arm and then fail to pro­tect them.  And you have seen those Trump sup­ports arrest­ed when they defend them­selves and oth­ers.  But, vio­lence doesn’t only take place at demon­stra­tions and

In my first arti­cle for Reload1, I dis­cussed shields in con­tem­po­rary defense. Dis­cussing gear is not enough.  We need a pol­i­cy for crowd defense, and we need it now.  I am devel­op­ing that pol­i­cy here:  https://www.patreon.com/crowddefense. You’ve prob­a­bly already spent con­sid­er­able time, mon­ey, and effort devel­op­ing your skills for self

We all saw the video of the Based Stick­man Kyle Chap­man. And, I’m sure we all liked the shield. He made great choic­es with his gear. But the shield real­ly stood out to me. I have been think­ing about the use of bal­lis­tic shields since the New­ton Mas­sacre, and I
