Militia porn is a diversion. It is pure entertainment. Not that some of its basic tenets won’t come to pass, but the simple fact is that you have much bigger problems ahead besides gun confiscation and semi-auto bans. Like the coming famine. If not this year from drought than in a year or three from oil declines. I’m not saying it wouldn’t be smart to bury a rifle and some ammo. It will, for various reasons besides NATO ninja troops kicking in your door. Like when the fire department is underfunded and lets your house burn, you have a backup for protection.

Of course, it isn’t necessarily a bad thing to have this kind of diversion. I was so enthralled with the books Enemies Foreign And Domestic
, Domestic Enemies 
and Foreign Enemies
, each almost 600 pages, that I fundamentally changed my bad habits. All through the cloudy winter I’ve complained about the periods between the PV panel recharging the batteries where I couldn’t watch TV. Once I started reading the trilogy, I quickly realized how much I hated TV and how much I missed reading more often. Before, I would go months and months without TV, and then when it was available I overindulged in it. Now, I’m at the point where I watch TV three nights a week. Period. House
, then Two And A Half Men
and The Big Bang Theory
. Tuesday isNCIS
( not the huge steaming pile of crap that is NCIS:LA ). Friday is Medium
. That is all the TV I’m watching. I dropped the Sunday cartoons on FOX ( The Simpson’s, Family Guy
, etc. ), I dropped Wednesday’s ABC comedies ( which while very good, aren’t top rated by me ). No more local station Thursday night movie, or Saturday Night Live
. I’ve doubled and tripled my reading time and enjoying my leisure time much more. It is obvious I needed to discipline my drug TV better.*
The first book is great, and basically covers the staged stadium massacre and the push for national gun control as a result. Several main freedom fighters are portrayed waging battle against an evil storm trooper agency of the Feds. In the second book, one of those characters goes to find her son after being in a prison camp and is sidetracked with the New Mexico political scene trying to return the southwest to its Hispanic inhabitants. This is the weakest of the three books. Only buy it if the $20 is burning a hole in your pocket. The third book covers the international troops fighting the insurrection in the Tennessee area after the Greater Depression goes full blast and the New Madrid earthquake
screws up everything. This one of the three seems to be the most involved with the most layers of activity, and hence my favorite. It has far more meat to it. The ending seemed to be in route to a contrived conclusion, but it wrapped up with a surprise ending that didn’t insult your intelligence too much as long as you realize the ending had to be somewhat on a happy note. The whole series could be picked apart with details. My biggest beef is the standard “only a few bad apples spoil the government and they are evil conspirators” rather than an overview of all the bad influences that control our empire. But really, that would have entailed too many sequels and/or not enough focus on the characters. So, really, there was no choice in the matter. As it was, a huge array of details was covered anyway. I can’t really fault the author for how he did it. Rather, I was very impressed overall.END

I thought that the second was was disturbingly relevant with the whole La Raza and immigration mess in the South West and parts of the West. The story and action were weaker but that point of a serious cultural conflict is probably more relevant than the concepts of the other two books.
I read the outlander series,a free thing i found once,it was preety funny but not much worse than the rest of survival books.i love to read thats why i like the internet so much.I like a lot of the stuff,links n such on rawles page,but its such a buncha unrealistic crap.yeah take your millions and buy crap!RW
I liked all three books, but the one that gave me the most to think about was the third book. I was aware of drone aircraft, but never considered how vulnerable WE are, if they were ever used against us. Many of us have seen the infrared images of bombs and attacks on buildings and individuals using this technology. HermitJim recently had a link to the Houston Texas PD testing a unit for their use, so the technology isn't only military. If PD has access to it, you can only imagine who else does. Likely not your friends either.
Imagine if this same technology were used against us. Can't see it or hear it, there would be no warning of its presence. Wouldn't matter where you are, heat signature, especially at night is pretty telling.
Thats a spooky a$$ proposition. learn how to defeat / minimize infrared heat signature now, while you have the chance to research it.
Giggle the "global hawk": should turn up a nice pict of one recently returned to base [not transported]in U.S.
Sat. controlled from the air conditioned office. 360 degree situational awareness; no radio chatter. amramms. 250 missions. Plus mach strike speed. No personal risk; except maybe carpal tunnel syndrome.....
Death from above to rain down on the Bison Compound iffin Jim gets too uppity.
I'm gonna have to roll with wil-flower on this call. Militia calls and resistance and such to .GOV;------ not this old boy. For 99.95% of us dat is comic book fantasy land stuff. Hell; I pant taking out the garbage. My cold dead hands will be pried outa my pants not off a lee enfield.
Yeah afgans [and phred the 'cong]kicked ass; in mountains; working tunnels [and caves] that have been worked on for a few thousand years. With extermination/discomfort as a choice of do it or don't at home, and with the cultural and practical heritage of experience, AND-- THEY HAD HELP.. and a lot of them died.
The baddest man I know [nam vet]says SH's he's hiding. He's a real "grey man" now. Except for the constant Range habit and long distance praire dog massacrees as his version of a vacation ya'd never have a clue.
..then there's that night vison video of the middle east motorcyclist that tossed a device and roared away and on down the road to meet up with his buds [also on bikes] till they all got lit up by a relatively bored navy pilot...poof; one instant you're a bad ass; next one you ain't.
