From Matt Bracken:

Back when welfare checks were delivered by the USPS (and not loaded onto EBT cards) a mailman was safe in any neighborhood. If they were attacked, the entire block could be declared unsafe, and the welfare recipients would have to troop down to the post office to get them in person. Now, even the mailman isn’t safe.

This reminds me of Obama’s agenda to disarm the people to make a world safer for our children. At least the children who survive the butcher shops of Planned Parenthood that Obama supports unconditionally. How do you know when to trust a politician?

I read an article today about a militia.  This post isn’t intended to demean them or any of their members, however, it’s a great case study from an Operations Security (OPSEC) perspective.  I’m not against militias (I’m also not in one), this is not an etymological argument, nor is it a legal one.  It’s obvious that security groups have served and will serve an important purpose again in this country.  These are solely my personal observations and there are five points I’d like to make.

1. Public Relations.  Organizations, whether they’re protest groups, militias, survival groups — whatever they are — always seem to do poorly when they don’t engage with the media.  On one hand, we all expect a liberal media outlet to twist words in interviews or make outrageous claims, and then once the furor is over and the page traffic dies down, quietly update the story to reflect what was really said or what was really meant (if you’re lucky).  You may do very well during an interview and feel like you’re getting your message out there, but after your interview is over, you lose control of the narrative.  Period.

One of the major takeaways from the Bundy Ranch standoff was that events like these need a strong public relations effort.  As far as that’s concerned, I applaud the Bundy Militia at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge for holding press conferences and being generally open to the public and media.  They were able to dispel some misinformation and push their own narrative through both independent and national media.  Ammon Bundy’s updates have been sincere, heart-felt, salt-of-the-earth-kinda-guy displays and he’s done very well at expressing the reasoning of why they’re there (despite the best efforts of others on-scene).

On Sunday, the event was trending like a stand-off; at least that’s how the media and commentariat made it out.  But once Ammon Bundy began pushing his message of focusing on the Hammond Family and the thugs at the BLM, and Western land rights at large, more and more people understood that this was a protest, not a deathwish for Waco 2.0 (although there are still agenda-driven media outlets painting the Waco picture).  I was surprised at the objective views and articles published by even some national mainstream media outlets (local media reporting seemed much, much worse).  So this absolutely has to be Lesson #1: if you allow someone else to control the narrative, then your uphill fight gets steeper.  Don’t allow a media outlet to tell your story for you.  You must find someone capable of delivering your message and humanizing your efforts.  If you allow someone elses propaganda to dehumanize or vilify you, then killing you is more easily justified.

Two often overlapping professions represent an apex of human evolution on both an individual and social level: the entrepreneur and the inventor. Because they are an apex, they only emerged as identifiable professions relatively recently, within the last 250 years. Their emergence required hospitable social, political, and legal conditions, and their disappearance will be the hallmark and consequence of broader deterioration and regression.

Humanity has been communal since the days of cave dwellers. The preponderance of people have been defined and have defined themselves as members of a group: a family, clan, tribe, village, town, city, province, or nation. Rare indeed have been the individuals who have simply defined themselves as individuals. That rarity is not because individualists are genetic mutants or sociopathic misanthropes, but because of reflexive group hostility towards those who isolate themselves, especially those who question group beliefs and ideologies. The most prominent purveyors and enforcers of beliefs and ideologies have been religions and governments, and they have been the most intellectually regressive institutions.

Despite their imperfections, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were revolutionary when drafted and remain so today. The most significant philosophical departure was their embrace of individual rights and their protection by a government subordinated to that task. That stance remains an ideal, not a realized outcome, but it was an important intellectual advance. It put out an unprecedented welcome-mat for individualists and they responded, making the young United States a scientific, technological, industrial, and economic giant within a century.

The news of Muslim sex attacks is being censored, whitewashed, and covered up. In Germany, the attacks were coordinated — that was a New Year’s jihad-terror attack.

Finnish police reported Thursday an unusually high level of sexual harassment in Helsinki on New Year’s Eve and said they had been tipped off about plans by groups of asylum seekers to sexually harass women.

Helsinki deputy police chief Ilkka Koskimaki told AFP: “There hasn’t been this kind of harassment on previous New Year’s Eves or other occasions for that matter… This is a completely new phenomenon in Helsinki.”

Security guards hired to patrol the city on New Year’s Eve told police there had been “widespread sexual harassment” at a central square where around 20,000 people had gathered for celebrations.

As much as we’d like to say TGIF, at the time of this writing we don’t know what fresh horrors will unfold on Friday to top off the first wretched week of 2016.

The stock market has had its worst opening week in history, wiping out so much wealth that the often mathematically-challenged Bernie Sanders is concerned that there will no longer be a top 1% in our country to rape and pillage. In the Middle East, all of the nations and sects are eagerly choosing sides between Saudi Arabia and Iran for the upcoming Armageddon Bowl, American military personnel are being killed in Afghanistan while the White House refuses to admit that they’re even engaged in combat, and the roly-poly little lunatic leader of North Korea just exploded a hydrogen bomb.

Although reassuringly, Barack “I’m Pretty Much Lying About Everything” Obama has suggested that it might not have been an actual hydrogen bomb, but just a new and improved whopper of a standard atomic bomb. Wow, what a relief!
