The plate I am shooting at came from http://www.ar500armor.com/
If you look carefully at the video, you can see some evidence of spalling and deflection of the round. The plate had a slight tilt to keep any objects from coming back at me. A affordable solution for preppers to protect their vital organs.

This is an easy answer: no drones over US soil. And for the over 4700 people killed by US drones around the world according to Sen. Lindsey Graham, again Hell No. Rationalizing the murder of foreign nationals as collateral damage in order to provide national security is not anything close to our founding or Christian principles.
For those who want to complain about keyboard warriors, go ahead. But your opinion does not justify murder: there or here.
David DeGerolamo
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Friday that he is demanding the White House answer “serious constitutional questions” about whether the administration can order a drone strike on American soil.
“We’re talking about someone eating at a cafe in Boston, or New York, and a Hellfire missile comes raining in on them,” Paul said during an appearance on Fox News. “There should be an easy answer from the administration on this. They should say, ‘Absolutely no, we will not kill Americans in America without an accusation, a trial and a jury.’ ”
The Kentucky senator said he had sent a letter to John Brennan, Obama’s nominee to head the CIA, but had not yet received a response.
The United States Army general credited with restoring order in post-Katrina New Orleans says Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel needs to ask for all the federal help he can get to fight the escalating violence in the city.
Retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, who served as the commander of Joint Task Force Katrina in 2005, told WLS-TV in Chicago that similar efforts are needed to restore order there.
…
When asked by WLS if the National Guard should patrol certain streets of Chicago, Honore stopped short of endorsing the idea.
“I think that the first thing you do is have an expansion of police, bringing in other police officers from cities around Chicago and the state to control the situation and maintain control in the part of the city that has the violence. And surveillance, it’s amazing what happens when you put cameras on every corner. Reinforce the liberties of the people to be able to walk the street so little girls like [15-year-old Hadiaya] Pendleton don’t get shot.”
Francisco Echeverria charged with killing former U.S. Marine
On Wednesday, police in Fayetteville arrested Francisco Echeverria, 24, after he allegedly gunned down 50-year-old Craig Spencer Morris who was riding his motorcycle at the time.
Around 3 a.m. Tuesday, police discovered a mortally wounded Morris lying near his wrecked motorcycle in the 4200 block of Bragg Boulevard. He had been shot in the chest.
Morris was transported to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, where he was soon pronounced dead.
According to detectives, a verbal altercation between Morris and Echeverria in the parking lot of the Carolina Square strip mall preceded the shooting.

Eric [Sprott] pointed out that the US government exported 30% of US annual gold production to Hong Kong in December alone, and stated that as there is no excess gold available in the US, all of his analysis suggests that the US gov’t may be exporting the German, Dutch, & Austrian gold reserves held at the NY Fed to China in an attempt to kick the can and forestall the inevitable financial collapse a little longer.
…
The Doc also asked Eric about the Treasury Department releasing the results of their 3 year audit of the Treasury’s 34,021 gold bars held at the NY Fed- particularly with the timing of the release only a month after the Bundesbank requested the repatriation of Germany’s gold, and whether the official denial by the Treasury department of any purity issues with it’s gold stored at the NY Fed in fact confirms our worst fears:
Well Doc, I read the so-called audit report. It really said they audited the schedule of holdings- which I don’t even know what that means, the schedule of holdings. What the NY Fed holds is a very small fraction of the total gold theoretically that’s owned by the US government, and in fact the gold held at the Fed might be German gold! The Germans might be surprised to find out there’s only 350 tons in the NY Fed and it’s all supposed to be theirs!
It was a sham, and it was another example of those who are attempting to mislead us as to what is going on, and there have been so many examples of things that are just not right and are totally misreported.
Too harsh. Not as harsh as what our children will face if we do not stand up to tyranny.

Republican Precinct Meetings are being held tomorrow, Saturday, February 23, 2013. The chart below provides contact information, locations, and times for the meetings.
North Carolina has 30 schools partnered with the United Nations to teach our children how to “promote intercultural understanding and respect, not as an alternative to a sense of cultural and national identity, but as an essential part of life in the 21st century“.
This NGO of UNESCO is nothing more than another means to indoctrinate our children into a new world order. Our nation is under attack from both enemies foreign and domestic. How will they defeat a nation founded in Liberty? By using proven techniques: propaganda, disarmament,tyranny and the corruption of our own children.
I am fighting for Liberty for our next generation. We must ensure that they know that nothing is more valuable than their individual freedom given to them as one of their natural rights. This task has just become harder as they are being “educated” that the world collective is greater than the individual.

It is time to fight for our own children.

The IB has been recognized as a NGO of UNESCO since 1970 and currently has the status of “formal consultative relations as a network” with UNESCO. IB representatives participate regularly in UNESCO meetings and comment on UNESCO proposals in education. Some projects have received UNESCO funding—see Cambodia and Nigeria in the list of partnerships (126 kb, PDF) and exchanges with governments and inter-governmental organizations (IGOs).

North Korea appears to be preparing for a test launch of a new intermediate-range ballistic missile that would further heighten tensions in the region following an underground nuclear test earlier this month.
Test preparations for the launch of a road-mobile Musudan intermediate-range ballistic missile were spotted recently by U.S. intelligence agencies.
Signs at a remote missile base include indicators of fueling for the road-mobile Musudan missile, classified as an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM), said officials familiar with intelligence reports.
North Korea conducted an underground nuclear test on Feb. 12, prompting international condemnation. It was the third test since 2006 and raised new concerns among Western intelligence agencies about whether North Korea is close to fashioning a warhead small enough to fit on a missile.
As we speculated from the very beginning, and as was reaffirmed in “Is Nigeria, And Its Light Sweet Crude, About To Be Drawn Into The Mali “Liberation” Campaign?”, the “French” (with complete and fully-comped US support) Mali campaign is slowly but surely migrating to its intended target: Nigeria, and rather its holdings of light sweet crude. And while the US presence in this latest resource land grab, this time in Africa, was so far rather stealthy, it appears the time for foreplay is over and moments ago Obama told congress has has dispatched 40 more American troops to Niger this week, bringing the total U.S. military presence in the west African country to 100. Let’s hear it for the full retroactive transparency demanded by the War Powers Resolution.

The MRAP featured in this video is was in Albuquerque, New Mexico for Law Enforcement Day which was held at a local area Target Store. This MRAP is stationed in El Paso, Texas at The Homeland Security Investigations Office. MRAP is a Mine Resistant Armor Protected Vehiclehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRAP
Homeland Security Investigations has 26 Special Agent in Charge (SAC) principal field offices throughout the United States. The SAC offices are responsible for the administration and management of all investigative and enforcement activities within the geographic boundaries of the office. The SACs develop, coordinate, and implement enforcement strategies to ensure conformance with national policies and procedures and to support national intelligence programs. SACs coordinate law enforcement activities with the highest level of Federal, state, and local governments, as well as intelligence organizations and international law enforcement entities. In addition, SACs supervise all administrative responsibilities assigned to the office and ensure a responsive Internal Controls Program is developed.
To efficiently manage their designated geographic regions, SAC offices maintain various subordinate field offices throughout their areas of responsibility, which support the enforcement mission. These subordinate field offices, Deputy Special Agents in Charge (DSAC), Assistant Special Agents in Charge (ASAC), Resident Agents in Charge (RAC) and Resident Agents (RA), are responsible for managing enforcement activities within the geographic boundaries of the office

Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver, shown in this May file photo, is leading the push to tighten New Jersey’s gun laws
The state Assembly wasted little time today approving 22 bills intended to curb gun violence despite protests from Republicans, who said Democrats put the legislation, some of it flawed, on too fast a track.
The session was largely free of the drama provided by a rowdy crowd that jammed the Statehouse annex for last week’s hearing, but opponents vowed a fierce political battle ahead if the measures advanced any further.
“They have awakened a sleeping giant in an election year,” Scott Bach, executive director of the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs, said in an interview shortly before the vote.
Most of the nearly two dozen bills taken up in the wake of the shootings in Newtown, Conn., were approved largely along party lines, and a few received near-unanimous support.

Hardly a day passes without a new story popping up on alternative news sites about rogue cops committing violence against innocent civilians. People who are merely living their lives and innocently going about their business are assaulted by those who are supposed to ‘protect and serve’ them.
While there are still a few good officers who take their oaths to ‘protect and defend’ and their motto ‘protect and serve’ seriously, the majority seem to have evolved into an ‘enforce and intimidate’ mode. The militarization of our domestic police has not helped.
Last summer I was surprised to find myself being ‘tailgated’ by a county deputy. Deputies have made this a common practice in my county. I pulled over to allow this ‘annoyance’ to pass. Rather than doing so, he pulled to a stop next to me and asked if anything was wrong.
My reply was, ‘Yes, you’re tail-gating me.’ To which he asked if I was feeling guilty about anything. What followed was a very interesting conversation. It began with my telling him about some of the YouTube videos I’d seen with police abusing innocent people and thus my concern with his aggressively riding my bumper. He found that amusing and popped a little smirk of a grin.
A Different America
“A staple of American self-esteem is that we Yanks are brave, free, independent, self-reliant, ruggedly individual, and disinclined to accept abuse from anyone. This was largely true in, say, 1930. People lived, a great many of them, on farms where they planted their own crops, built their own barns, repaired their own trucks, and protected their own property. They were literate but not educated, knew little of the world beyond the local, but in their homes and fields they were supreme.”
“A different America, a different culture. We really were free. You could come out of the house on a summer morning and let the dogs run loose in the fields, nobody ever having heard of a dog license. You could change the oil in your car or rewire your basement without the county meddling. You could shoot varmints eating your garden and no one cared. The government left you alone. This is not an unimportant part of the dispute over guns – wanting to be left alone. Nobody in America, ever again, is going to be left alone. Not ever.”
Here’s hoping the author is mistaken. But surely only a catastrophic collapse of society as it now stands will allow for that possibility.
