Sharpen Your Hatchet
“I condemn! I condemn! I once more shall contemn thee, my followers, my base!”
Once more, a President who was elected by an angry base has turned his back. Once more, that base who peacefully asked for a return to sanity, a return to the rule of law, a return to a nation they recognize, has been shunned. It should be the last time.
Trump the man is untrustworthy and an opportunist. But also an outsider to the status quo. He was elected only for the fact that he’s wasn’t a corrupt piece of trash like his opponent. And maybe he’s not, who knows. At this point, what difference does it make?
In the wake of another manufactured crisis, and yes, these “mass shootings” are indeed such as media creations, we get subjected once more to the appeals to emotion and the threat of “red flag laws”. I’m not certain Trump actually understands his base. That very wave that got him elected has and will walk away from him hinged on one issue alone- guns.
We asked to drain the swamp. Swamp didn’t get drained.
We chanted to LOCK HER UP. The murderous bitch walks free and a rotten to the core Department of Justice continues to function, despite having an shred of credibility ripped away.
We said build a wall. Wall is not built.
We chanted SEND THEM BACK for the people who’ve come here, found success and then spit on this nation and its generous people. You renounced us once more and validated every claim the Left made about their opposition.
And we said no more gun laws. You said, “red flag.”
So here’s the deal. Trump and every other Republican who’re just gushing over this last dumpster fire can guarantee a one way ticket home. The NRA can watch its supporting vines rot and wither away. And they should. We’re done with you. Your base is done with you. You have turned your back for the last time and the patience of a people is finite. The Left hates all of you, all of us, and is actively organizing to murder us. But it will be you first. So all this pandering to them won’t save you, and neither will we.
And when any one of the literal communists gets elected in 2020, maybe the base will wake from their slumber. Maybe. But then, they’ll probably have a few public gatherings, maybe even occupy a public space or two. If the past is a guide however, you’ll do absolutely nothing and the efforts of a few are little more than a waste of time.
Sharpen your hatchets gentlemen. You had a short breather, hope you used it well.

[…] Sharpen Your Hatchet […]
I believe your thoughts and conclusions are spot on.
Everyone needs to get their PERSEC and OPSEC in order, gather their supplies, and increase their training pace.
PT, PT, PT, and more PT.
We have no one representing us, no one speaking for us nor listening to us. Read and study up on historical examples of “leaderless resistance”. Lift heavy, ruck far, buy ammo…

One hell of a post! The title says it all. I’ve made copies of the “True Believer” box from the Reality Check article AP had in over a week ago. One for the wallet, on the sun visor, at the work desk, etc. In due time, I’ll have the whole context memorized. Know the enemy & his modus operandi.
A couple of Saturdays ago, I travelled from up here in North Central KY down to the General George S. Patton Museum of Leadership at Ft. Knox. The 1.5 hour self directed tour was amazing & motivating to say the least. What I learned from this experience will no doubt help in a SHTF scenario, which could happen at any given moment. I’ve always enjoyed his illustrious quotes including “making the other poor bastard die for his country” & showing “no mercy on my enemies.” One most appropriate for the underlying theme of this article.
“Let’s keep our boots polished, bayonets sharpened & present a show of force to the Red Army*. This is the only language they understand & respect.”
Now, who wants to quit?
*Keep in mind we have a Red Army in this country now.
73 & keep up the great work!
Amen Brother for starting the discussion.
I have been on this earth a bit more then many of the readers here at AP. Heck I remember the 1968 Gun Control Act. I also remember nobody saying anything against the Act at that time; Consequently, it sailed through Congress and was signed by LBJ. Jumping ahead to today, I suspect that the vast number of pro-2A folks, who have been beaten down over the years by the swamp and the media, will allow the supposed Red Flag debate to go forward and, in the end, become law.
If there is a Red Flag Act put on Trump’s desk, he will sign it in a New York Minute.
Then I wonder, when Trump signs the new Red Flag Act and it becomes a statute, who out there will have the guts to not vote for him and the bill’s supporters. I suspect sadly, few.
Now is the time for the DOJ to start acting on indicting folks who took part in the soft coupe. The dialog needs to be changed and changed now. American citizens are weak due in part to being employed; Consequently, well fed.
73 & God Bless!
Whack job.
I have read the comments that have been written thus far. I was voting when the 1968 Gun Control Act was put into law as a result of some “National” “Alphabet Soup” organization assassinating our then POTUS (for whom I did NOT vote) and we, the People, took a hit. No one stood tall when a good/great POTUS signed into law, in 1987, that none of us could have a “fully automatic” weapon created after a date that year (Auto Ordiance produced as many BAR receivers as it could so that was going to be available for a short time after) and I don’t even remembering hearing about it until a visit to “The Creek” several years later. We all have been watching the current POTUS “maneuver his way through the mine field we, the voter, have left for him. By design, he is NOT a dictator, and we do not want him to be. He has moved ahead in the direction he has set forth. Can he get that “itch” put in jail that lost to him? We do not know but it is not like he has ceased to move in that direction. Like those in this group that are “Battle Hardened”, when has any strategy/plan moved ahead flawlessly once put into motion? We, the Foot Soldiers of this country need to stand behind the current “Commander-in-Chief” as I cannot see any other contender for the position that begins to come close to moving BACK to following the Constitution, as written by the Founders/Framers. We need to solidify our own TAOs and be capable of keeping it safe. I agree that those that support, of use the ANTIFA movement to their advantage are NOT going to stop. However, going against our ONLY best hope because he has strategy that is, either, perceived to be different than the way we see it or is truly “Anti-Constitutional” must be looked at with a small amount of “Faith” having looked back at what he has already made steps in a Great direction. I think we need to hold off on the “Fragging” for a time. Fighting this “Alone” has no serious chance of success. We will need Leaders and I hope those with “Training” are willing to Train Us.
The country has been sliding left for a hundred years or more. Obama stepped on the accelerator, and we elected Trump to Brake heavily. We heavily funded the NRA during the election season to get a guy in the White House who was a true believer in the 2nd Amendment. We believed in the NRA and Donald Trump, even though he was pals with the Clintons and was not a gun guy, hunter or outdoorsman. Trump has proven once again the NRA is not able to do a good job vetting candidates. And Trump has proven to be just another lying politician. The 2nd Amendment will eventually be rewritten,, nullified or deleted. America has been turning out junior communists for decades. From K -12 and graduate school, students have been subject to communist brainwashing. The Arts and Media have been under communist guidance for as long as the schools. Democrats today are Communists of tomorrow. Every one of the candidates for president the DNC has put forth in the debates are communists. Millineals are mostly communist leaning. The poor and elderly are communist leaning. The only voting conservatives are age 65 and up with a sprinkling throughout the voting aged.
The 2020 elections are going to put another communist in the presidency. And if any of the Russiagate principles go to prison, like Hillary, Obama,, Brennan, Comey, or others it will light a fire under the communist leadership in the DNC to fire up the communist votong bloc even hotter And on the second day of office, the next communist president is going to order a national ban on all firearms, ordering the forced removal of guns from all who refused to surrunder their guns voluntarily. America is going to be a nanny state, a communist state, and a state where civilian gun ownership will be verboten. The communists know they must disarm the population before implementing more onerous laws, like heavy taxation, the federalization of IRA and 401k accounts, other oppressive acts.
Am I dreaming ? I dont think so. Unless there is a large, committed, and capable opposition and resistance to the communist plans for our republic, I think the momentum to the communist state is too strong,
There will be no representation because we are the minority.
I didn’t expect it from this one. I only thought he might not mess with me. From the bumpstocks to now wanting to destroy American companies making silencers to judgement passed by unqualified people without due process it actually seems worse.
They are hopeful, and probably correct, that the base will forget come vote day. I say this because of the number watching the superbowl and supporting sports still, that actually made videos on how to turn in bumpstocks and are still hung up on the Negotiating Rights Away all seem to have short and selective memories.
Come 2nd term when the “base” is no longer needed what do you think the results will be?
I hear ya’ Exring and agree in so much as, lets not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
NOTHING has been done yet. It is all talk and speculation until something passes in the US Congress and it sits atop Trump’s desk. There is no way this Act will sail through Congress unless we all sit back, pop a brew, and continue to watch Dancing with the Stars.
I know we are all tired, yada, yada, yada, however, once again, we will be called upon and we will rise to the occasion, to fight for our God Given Rights that are laid out in the BOR’s.
So get your file out and sharpen that hatchet Brothers & Sisters…Sharpen that hatchet.
Well put. Spot on
Spot on.
I voted for the Supreme Court nominations and that was it. I doubt that will do anything at this point. I never trusted Trump as his demagoguery was always apparent. I hoped Trump Jr. could influence him towards supporting the hearing protection act, but that was wishful thinking.
Trump has deported fewer immigrants than Obama, and he knows it…
He regularly brags about accomplishing more gun control than Obama…
He couldn’t ‘locker her up’ because he was too concerned the Clintons wouldn’t talk to him at dinner parties after his retirement…
He mostly cares about himself and his media image.
His authoritarian lackey William Barr has been pushing hard for nation-wide enforced encryption backdoors for weeks leading up to this. Now they’ve got the online activities of these shooters as the perfect reason to ensure it’ll happen.
All those hip young-adult dystopian novels that have been flying off the shelves aren’t going to sell so well when people realize it’s real life now.
I can’t imagine giving him a second vote. That was the first mainstream “compromise” vote I made in my life and it may be the last.
Having said all that, I’m thankful that tons of PT has been going on here with no injuries.
Thankful I have a lot of off-the-radar “supplies” and can manufacture more.
Thankful I’ve been practicing lots of low-to-no digital signature outings for years just for “fun.”
Thankful I got some basic radio training under my belt this year in NC.
I’ve got to work on getting land. Hopefully they won’t ban that next…
We got hoodwinked. We voted for Steve Bannon, not DJT.
In regards to the NRA,can we as citizens get together our state right groups into say a national confederation,and……,keep a sharp eye on it.I like the GOA’s staements ect. but do not know of their accomplishments/lack there of,any info there appreciated.
GOA is a better organization. But I’ve found that State level orgs are by far the best- such as Grassroots NC and VCDL. The fight is local first, then national. And at least at the State level, you get the opportunity to spend more time with the movers and shakers. You’d never get LaPierre-level corruption in Grassroots NC and you know exactly where your money is going.
The past is dead. You cannot change it. No one in government wants you to live another day. They used you to get what they wanted and tossed you out like whores. Get over it. NOW is the time to fight if you ever will. If you do you will likely die in combat. If you don’t everyone you love will die in a death camp. The communist mean to kill every white man and use the women and children as sex toys. Fight or die. The time to talk about it is over. There is no one coming to save you. The only vote you have left in in your weapon. IF you use it. The red light went on over the door. Are you ready?
And just like the beaten wife, Trumpsters keep hoping tomorrow will get better.
Reality won’t sink in that he’s part of the problem and not the cure.
So now comes the hard part, if Trump and the NRA won’t save us, where does that leave me? The masses cannot fathom that they will actually have to engage and participate in a fight for their own survival and that of their children. It was so much easier to buy false promises.

I was not going to get back into this conversation, but I decided that one of the problems we ALL have is we focus very tight and don’t consider more possibilities. I believe the strategy being used is not new nor recent. I believe we can, seriously look at the way the Millenials and our children in “grade and high school” are being “propagandized, re-educated, d.. and associate it with the removing of the children from the home by a very deliberate and nefarious means. Joe Stalin and Adolph Hitler attempted to physically remove children from the “parents and home”. When the “Legal System” was used to do that and allow the children to stay in the “household” by having those “untrained” minds call the LEO System if there was any “perceived” issue with those parents. Some of the more vehement posters might check the dates when this took place on the Law Enforcement side and when we started seeing “children” killing themselves and then others. These are very fertile, inexperienced and impressionable minds that will listen to someone offering “something for nothing” and “recourse through a violent act. They are more prone to seeking out video games that fulfill this void and if one needs further supportive evidence, read Dr. David Grossman’s (MD, ret. Lt Col, Army, instructor at West point) book “On Killing”. It discusses the best use of video games to increase “killing rates” in the Military training system. We need to start “healing” our system by taking our children back. I do not believe that those that read this blog are having much of this problem but the marginal people out there (and there are many) need to go back to being parents for their children. This is ONLY one area that needs clarifying but one must start somewhere and “keep filing and stoning that hatchet”.
I actually wrote about this aspect last night in the post that went up this morning.
[…] More… […]
Here in Ohio, Buckeye Firearms Association is pushing back on Gov. DeWine’s proposal to expand background checks and introduce “red flag laws”. They absolutely have my support. DeWine is certainly an improvement over whackjob CNN correspondent Kasich, however his reactionary stance in the wake of Dayton is disappointing to say the least. Link to BFA write up:
https://www.buckeyefirearms.org/qa-gov-dewines-safety-initiative
Great work! Are you connected in any way with them? They look like good folks to support.
HP,a lot of great state orgs.,we need a way to go national though while keeping control,but,state orgs better then nothing.That said,state rights do seem to be at a minimum legally,while not mentally.
OK, so now you finally agree with what I have been saying for several years now. I truly do hope to see many more Trump worshipers wake up and understand that he has been screwing them for since before he was elected. The man has been known as a New York Leftist for decades, also friends with the Clintons, a former Clinton supporter, and also connected to many other leftist (pedophile) scumbags. He has shown absolutely nothing to prove he has ever supported guns, has ever been a “Christian”, and has made most of his money using government subsides and land grab programs, all proven facts. You also did not mention the fact he has destroyed our relations with several countries needlessly, he has destroyed our economy with idiotic anti free trade policies, he has started several pre-wars, and he has started full on wars with several countries needlessly after making fun of other candidates for supporting those same wars during the election. He has also endangered our national defense with said wars, as well as spending more than any previous president. He has increased the deficit past a $1 Trillon and has increased the National Debt significantly. He has also banned more guns/gun accessories and add laws, illegally via unilateral executive order, than Obama and coming close to Clinton. Needless to say, this could have been easily avoided with simple research and skepticism during the election. There was a great and ONLY choice on the stage, his name was Rand Paul, he has been fighting for all of our rights for several years. He could have been elected, but many people did not vote for him during the primaries because they were taken in by the idiot fake reality TV star with a loud mouth and OBVIOUSLY sleazy promises. I hope to see more reality and use of one’s brain and sleaze detectors like I read above in the future. I don’t give chances to those who already have a LONG record of sleaze, not when it comes to leading our country…. Don’t fall for the logical fallacy of “the lesser of two evils” all you get is progressive evil, vote your morals, not huge compromise (some compromise is acceptable).
I’m on the exact same page. Stay out of Sarajevo, boys.
Going to do some squwatts, then range time. Time to get that hf rig set up.
Good advice. I plan on staying busy.
I never supported the NRA- seems that the bigger and more influential a national group becomes, the more grift it attracts. I did join GOA and plan to join BFA. BFA runs regular advanced training courses that I need to find time to attend. At the very least, there will be networking opportunities. BFA has a great CCW reciprocity map tool on their site that I’ve been using for years.

Meanwhile a certain Senator now referred to as “2.Zero” because of a few scripted outbursts for a squishy SCOTUS nominee is working hard, and across the aisle (as usual) to subvert the 2nd amendment. With the sudden uptick in what the media calls “mass murder” it reminds me of what Joseph Goebbels said in the run up to the Nazi dictatorship, “We will not let the people rest until we get the power.”
I think we will see the secession of states and the raising of state sanctioned OPFOR in those states before bullets fly.. I also see foreign intervention to aid the OPFOR states under a UN Mandate…. There’s still time so I implore others to not waste it- Prepare.
