The Right to Self-Defense...

This blog has touched on personal matters and on martial arts teachings, history and more... Today I am going to talk about "gun control" and everyone's right to self-defense. Just so we are on the same page I'm going to address two cases, one you've heard and another you haven't... The media isn't reporting the armed protests and patrols by the Black Panthers in Dallas Texas. This is of course a response to both real and imagined police brutality and racial discrimination. I say real and imagined because sometimes we expect to see things and interpret our perception to what we expect to see. Regardless, do I support these men and women's right to defend themselves, even against the government... Yes. The other case is that of the "White Militia" in a Oregon. Now do I support their right to "Keep & Bear Arms" (have and use weapons) against the government... Yes. Now let me ask you what do both these groups have in common?

Here is a small list;

  1. Both are Armed...
  2. Both feel threatened by the Government...
  3. Both feel they are being targeted by the Government...
  4. Both are organized and trained paramilitary units...
  5. Both are Militias. Yes the Black Panthers & the New Black Panthers are a militia. Militia is defined as, "a group of people who are not part of the armed forces of a country but are trained like soldiers"

The history of "Gun Control" began with trying to disarm Black Americans of their right to own guns. "Gun Control" was used to disarm the Jews before the Holocaust & then everyone who wasn't a Nazi party member under Hitler, non-Communist after the Communist revolution in Russia under Stalin, non-Communists of the Communist revolution in China under Mao. "Gun Control" was used against the Irish many times and that didn't stop the 800 years of Irish revolts, rebellions and revolutions that plagued British rule. Quite simply, any government that can't trust law abiding citizens with weapons, can't be trusted to be law abiding. Militias have been a long standing part of American history and culture and a militia doesn't have to be part of the militia movement either. The militia movement is a political movement, it is not anti-government it is anti-government abuse and when you break it down that is what the Black Panthers are arming and training for now, while patrolling their neighborhoods to keep the peace and keep cops who they see as oppressors out.

So let me ask why is it when a bunch of punk kids decide to burn down businesses and cars owned by other Black Americans they are labelled as "heroes" by the liberal media?

Why is it the only people covering the Black Panthers arming and training themselves for a confrontation with law enforcement is only covered by ultra-conservative alternative media trying to paint them the same as the Aryan Brotherhood or the KKK?

Why is the events in Oregon taking place and these people spun as terrorists?

I can answer all three with six words; "Because it serves a political agenda." The right to keep and bear arms is the right to have (that is what keep means), bear is the right to use & arms is weapons. Allow me to address something here, there is a preamble to the Bill of Rights which frames the reasoning for said rights. Big shocker, you have the right to defend yourself against your government... I was arrested for making terrorist threats when I addressed this in a past blog, because I wanted to argue the issue of false arrest and the history of police harassment I have personally had to deal with... My defense was easy, defend my legal argument as if I intended to kill a cop, then simply point out that knowing I had a legal right to do so. I made a hypothetical legal argument (exercising my right to freedom of press and freedom of speech). And of course all my charges were dismissed...

Here is a picture of the actual Bill of Rights;

Now why I had to do all that is for the same reason you aren't hearing about the Black Panther with their guns but you are hearing about the Militia with their guns. That reason is simple, because I am white, those militia men on your TV are all white. It feeds a political narrative that feeds a political agenda to spread division among Americans. I don't like terms like African-American or Caucasian-American because guess what I am an American, and regardless of your skin tone or religion so are you. Yes, America has a checkered past, America was responsible for the conquest and genocide of the Native Tribes that were here, Americans bought slaves from Africa and Americans have taken away the rights of many non-white American citizens. We can't change the past but we can work right now in the present to build a better future... If I were any non-White, non-Christian minority I would have all the civil rights lawyers and organizations suing these ass holes. However, it serves a political narrative that feeds a political agenda. And yes, we lie to our children and ourselves into thinking the Civil War was about slavery... it was actually about taxes.

For those unfamiliar with our criminal justice or citizen enslavement system, allow me to explain to you how it works. Racism is a foundation of the culture, in prison gangs tend to be racially motivated and so do many of the guards. So as white police officers are encouraged to look down on minorities they tend to target said minorities, said minorities don't like the cops and certain alleged "civil rights leaders" spread division along lines of race (which is a dumb ass word for skin tone). Minorities target poor whites, because most are scared to face the repercussions for going against the police. And anything which does anything more then spread the political narrative that minorities are only targeted for government abuse is overlooked because lets face it... How many of you reading this who are "white" give a damn about being unjustly targeted for government abuse? If we first come to accept the simple truth "Governments are abusive to their citizens..." and not worry about which of the citizens are targeted you come to realize people are fighting for the same thing.

What is even more important and much more so, is this... Both the Militia in Oregon and the Black Panthers in Dallas are well armed, well trained groups that appear on the surface, willing to defend themselves. Neither group has looted and burned stores, cars or anything else. No one has shot anyone and all those anti-gun people who are targeting the Oregon group but not the Texas group because of some divisive political narrative about skin tone is overlooking something here. You can't claim to support one group and not the other. Everyone wants the same thing, peace and freedom. And you know maybe neither group would need to pick up guns and train for a war if they didn't feel threatened by an abusive and corrupt government.

America has a lot to work on, as far as dealing with our history and our past but, people with guns aren't the problem. Hearts and minds are the problem...
