We have all seen Barron Shepard's blog on Koga Ryu Ninjutsu, the fact is Barron Shepard is a liar and a slander. He hides behind the computer screen and claims to be a martial artist. The fact is he claims there is no "conspiracy" but we all know how the internet works, tough guys with key boards. First off lets deal with two things off the bat, all images and information provided are provided for the sole purpose of review and to show that Barron Shepard is engaged in slander (liable if its in print but does the internet really count as print or is that just for physically printed documents?). This is in accordance with Federal laws 17 USC 107. So when I show you screen shot of Barron Shepard's hit peice to prove him a liar and slander of my good name, you will see that it is accordance with that"the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright." It doesn't violate copyright which Barron Shepard will claim to try to get this blog removed...
In addition, I'm gonna explain the issue between me and Barron Shepard. In 2009, Barron was involved in the Law Suit from William Aguiar III, Ashida Kim and Floyd Webb, actually Barron Shepard was named as a defendant in that case. Now I wrote a letter to the Judge as Amicus Curiae or friend of the court. My motion was ignored as I am not a lawyer but still... At the same time, I had written a highly legal termed letter for a friend of mine in a custody battle with an abusive husband. I had been happy I helped my friend and Barron Shepard assumed it was about the court motion I filed on Ashida Kim's behalf. Ultimately, Barron and I argued online and when I bluntly pointed out I think the Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu system he claimed to represent, was a shit system, he thought I should respect him because of his rank in Kenpo and Judo. I don't feel he as a man deserves the respect he thinks rank in martial arts gives him.
I had a Senior Drill Sergeant in the Army's Basic Combat Training, he was Special Forces and Rangers, had tabs from both schools. One day he showed us his neck where four vertebrae had been broken by a landmine when he parachuted in Grenada and surgery had to be done. He pulled four men off a minefield with a broken neck and after telling us of the horrors he had faced and lived through that day. He asked why he ran out onto a minefield and pulled of two men, twice. "Because you were Special Forces" or "Ranger" or "US Army" all got mentioned. Instead he told us he did it because "he was a man" and that the uniform is just cloth its the man inside the uniform that gives it value and meaning, that we should all live to standard that gives our uniform meaning and value. So if a man with a Purple Heart, Ranger Tab and Special Forces Tab tells me I should respect the "man" ("woman" for you ladies out there) and not the uniform, I took it to heart. When he told me I should live as an example of the Honor and Values I claim to represent, I did my best to do. I even pointed out to Barron Shepard how his rank in martial arts and my respect for his attitude are too separate things. And it exploded into some internet arguments & online challenges and shit talk, to which Barron backed out like a little bitch, after he himself issued the challenge and threat to kick my ass.
So me and Barron Shepard have issues with each other and, part of those issues is that he got punked online by me. I won't tell you I have never been arrested, I have. However my criminal record consists of only four misdemeanor convictions, one of those is a Federal Misdemeanor. I've even offered to supply Barron with court papers to show convictions as opposed to being charged with a crime. Anyone can be charged but its the conviction that matters.
And lets talk about those convictions and evidence of falsified evidence provided by Kristen Keller...
Here is Dr. Miller's Report.
Now lets break this down Barron what is the Case Number of the Terrorist Threats case?
12-B-234, 12-F-470, 12-F-471, 13F-1026 and 13-B-410.
What are the Charges? Terroristic Threats and Obstructing an Officer
What is the Offense Date? Feburary 25th 2011
What is the Evaluation Date? Feburary 20th 2014
Now lets examine 13F-1026 Arrest Warrant:
Whats the Offense Date? 16th to the 22nd 2013
Wait!
Now how come this date is different then the one Dr. Miller is claiming, in his report? That can be examined by the second page of Dr. Miller's report.
We see a court order for my evaluation is under case 13-F-1026 & 13-B-410, however according to "RECORD'S ACCOUNT OF EVENTS" what is claimed is happening for the evaluation Dr, Miller cites Criminal Complaint Case Numbers 10M-6004 and 6005. Which were dismissed... oh wait I was found not guilty after a 2 day trial July 24th and 25th 2013.
Here is case filing where the case was given a different number in Circuit Court, from Magistrate Court. Here is that paper work...
Statement of transfer to Circuit Court in underlined in red and case number is circled in red.
As you can see both, cases were transferred to Circuit Court... and I was found not guilty. More so we can look at the list of Warrants and Criminal Complaints for cases; all listed before the arrest warrant for the alleged offense date of 16 to 22 August 2013. Notice there is no warrant for case 13-F-1026 but there is a motion under that case number for court ordered psychological evaluation. More so, cases that have been dismissed were considered relevant by Dr. Miller because the Prosecutor Kristen Keller provided him misleading information. As for how Dr. Miller got his dated of offense of 25 February 2011 well the Prosecutor provided Dr. Miller with the Search Warrant used to Seize my Computers which I have and continue to state was seized illegally and never turned in which is why I have video of Pat Lamp saying the State Police never turned over any evidence and asking to postpone the hearing. It is why I have a transcript of the Prosecutor dismissing the child porn charges because the State Police never turned in any evidence. It has been almost six months the feds haven't become involved. Here is the still images for you so lets assume its all "puffery" from Kristen Keller.
So now then Barron, can you answer the question of why Dr. Miller cites a case that was dismissed as relevant facts toward as case that is used to order his evaluation but contains to warrant for said case? Well here is my answer Barron, because Kristen Keller was covering up for corrupt police officers who were trying to conceal that fact that they falsified evidence and coerced Ashley Redden to lie.
The primary issue here Barron is that, other then your bold faced lies which I will address in a minute, that Dr. Miller never had the correct information. And while Kristen Keller might be rather upset that I'm and continue to address these very important issues of falsified evidence and poor moral character on her part. They are however evidence that she violated the law.
Now if we continue reading we see that Dr. Miller is addressing other cases then the one used to issue the court order for evaluation. So Were is the Arrest Warrant for Case Number 13F-1026? It was left out, right here and not listed in Dr. Miller's report.
Yet, Kristen Keller still violated West Virginia Code 27-6A-2 (b) which lists the evidence the party making the evaluation to turn over...
(1) Warrant or Indictment (none on the list for case number 13F-1026)
(2) Information Pertaining to Alleged Crime (none listed for case 13F-1026)
(3) Any Available Psychiatric, Psychological, Medical or Social Records (Well there are previous records of evaluations)
(4) A Copy of the Defendants Criminal Record (this is the very same thing as an NCIC background check used to get a gun and would show any cases dismissed, it is not present)
Here is the West Virginia Code showing that Kristen Keller provided false information. This is proof that she lied in trial and brings Trooper Haynes statement for his criminal complaint of the Terrorist threats case into question. Since his information was not based on my statements online directly but of Kristen Keller's interpretation of my statements.
Now lets examine that Rape claim you have made so much of Barron...
Ok Barron first this image is your blog and you called me a Child Predator... Well Barron I have to point out that I am neither Child Predator nor any type of sexual predator. In fact anyone can get online and run my name. Or just scroll down the images and you'll see my name isn't on a list.
First off Barron it says I was found NOT GUILTY and, that means I was innocent. It also says Stalking and Assault Charges. And to be specific Rebecca Turco is even quoted saying "BECKLEY - A Raleigh County man is found not guilty in court for allegedly attempting to rape a young woman and for harassing her during the course of several years.
Ronald Collins, Jr., 33, originally of MacArthur, took the stand Thursday in Day Two of his trial. Collins had faced two misdemeanor charges of assault and stalking. "
I was never charged with rape, that was Ashley Redden's claim which was disproved in court and you claim that I was found naked with the girl is also a bold faced lie.
Lets be clear Barron I may well sue you for slander and defamation of character. I might drive down to your house Winter Haven and challenge you to a fight. But looking at your little profile there Barron I think I see something. You are a part-time cop and so you know nothing but the corruption of "Brotherhood of Blue" and you don't like it when people like me point out the corruption and criminality you protect. So while you set here and lied let me show you what Ashley really said I did.
Now it needs to be addressed that Greg Duckworth, a friend of both Mary Jennings and Bobby Redden, Ashley's father, wrote this and had Ashley to Sign it. Whats better is that her charge was overturned and she has stalked me with false charges ever since.
See Barron not are you another little Badge Bunny who has backed down from me but, you are liar and fraud calling other liars and frauds to cover up for your own self. And this page stands as a testament to your lies.
Tell me Barron whats worse being proven a liar or being that you are part of organization that full of liars and your attempts to defame for addressing misconduct. Either way, Barron Shepherd you've been proven to have been a liar and not to be trusted at your word. Combined with the lies I deleted from my GodFundMe Campaign you've show that you intend to interfere with my business practices and do me harm economically, aside from defaming my character. But, hey you never would come up here to make those challenges to my face.
So as all the chaos in my lief seems to be headed toward being calmed down and after a year of having Shadow Warrior Publishing at the forefront of endeavors I'm happy to say I will soon, hopefully all thinks considered. Reopen my martial arts schools in down town Beckley, West Virginia.
The Omoto Ryu Black Dragon Dojo will be a "fully operational Death Star..." errr Martial Arts school. The sad truth is martial arts on the internet is full trolls and posers "nut riding" one person's success while targeting others for slander and harassment. Many times this is a sad result of jealousy or fear of competition. However, as I stated before in Will of Iron: Understanding the Fighting Spirit the fact is that it is not how hard you hit but how hard you can get hit and stand up again. The Omoto Ryu Black Dragon Dojo is the flag ship for Black Dragon Ninjitsu and with it comes a explosion of martial arts and self-defense programs. No one has a patient on Ninjutsu (Ninjitsu) and we know from historical research that ninjutsu is not a martial art, there is no sole source of ninjutsu or a "legitimate" one at that. As I have stated before evidence points to Takamatsu making up his tradition from openly revealed historical documents.
The Omoto Ryu Black Dragon Dojo is focused on Self-Defense without the fluff of many martial arts schools and the propaganda expressed by those online. This is a modern martial arts school, and while I do plan to teach and discuss the historical aspects this will come from study of Historical Documents like the Bansenshukai, Sun Tzu's Art of War and the other Chinese military classics, plus books like the Hagakure and Go Rin Sho (Book of 5 Rings). We are planning to teach three systems and host many camps and courses on a more private basis. These three systems are Street Focus Jujitsu & Black Dragon Ninjitsu and I am adding a third course in Civilian Counter-Terrorism Self-Defense that will be available as a series of progressive self-defense courses.
These three Systems are broken down as such... Black Dragon Ninjitsu:
Lets be honest here Black Dragon Ninjitsu is modern art that is my own invention, it is a mix of the Omoto Ryu Budo, which does contain ninjutsu, US Army Infantry Training, Jeet Kune Do Concepts/Philosophy and other martial arts and training aspects used by Reality Based Martial Arts. This system focuses on six areas of study at five ranges of combat. Six Areas of Study:
1. Martial Arts...
2. Weapons Training to include firearms tactics later on but, applied to the four fundamental weapons of stick/staff, knives, shuriken or throwing weapons and chains at shodan allowing one to use anything around them as a potential weapon...
3. Psychological Manipulation and Philosophy for the development to resist manipulation...
4. Strategic Planning & Leadership Principles...
5. Tactical Principles and Small Teams organization
6. Survival Training & First Aid to increase the odds of one's survival...
This is to prepare one to fight at all Five Ranges of Combat. These five ranges are...
1. Mental: Not only fighting Psychological manipulation but seeing and evaluating an opponent's intent by non-verbal ques...
2. Striking Range: punching and kicking distance...
3. Infighting Range; which can very between strikes with the knees and elbows to throws, joint-locks/breaks and stand up grappling...
4. Grappling Range: Most often seen as ground fighting distance, while not exclusively the domain of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu we are not as specialized in this range of fighting...
5. Weapons Range; a distance of fighting that can only be achieved using a weapon being it a spear, throwing knife or firearm.
Street Focus Jujitsu:
Another "invention" of mine Street Focus Jujitsu is a modern adaptation of Sport Jujitsu similar to its combative cousin combat jujitsu with a greater focus on modern self-defense and principles of psychology and sociology. This was began is something I was teaching US Soldier's as a Hand-to-Hand Combat Instructor in the US Army at company level in 1/503d Air Assault Camp Casey Korea before the unit was transfer to Italy and re-designated an Airborne Infantry unit. This art was created as an attempt to avoid the drama and childishness associated with the ninjutsu community of the Ninja Martial Arts Cult.
Civilian Anti-Terrorism Courses:
The Civilian Anti-Terrorism Course was a project I started after leaving the Army in 2005, actually around 2009. I feel with today's political climate that this would be best served for anyone seeking to learn basic paramilitary skills. While the core of Civilian Anti-Terrorism deal with identifying and avoiding a potential terrorist threat before it becomes a danger, this course includes basic self-defense combatives, stick & knife work, as well as basic individual and small teams tactics and survival training.
Class Fees:
Monthly, pay as you go no contracts $135 a month or $1,620 a year
$125 a month or $1,500 a year with a one year contract
$115 a month or $1,380 a year with a two year contract
The Civilian Anti-Terrorism Course runs by the course and is broken down into two 4-hour days of training.
Series Course 1:$150 per
person
8-Hour Instruction on 1 Hour
Power Point Presentation on How to Identity a Terrorist Threat &
Understanding Criminal Violence. Self-Defense Combatives (3 Hours) &
4 Hours on Knife Defense and Knife Usage Skills. Broken down into 4
hour seminars over 2 days. Series Course 2: $250 per person requires
8-Hour Instruction broken
down into 2, 4 hour days. 1 Hour safety brief and firearms safety
class. 3-Hour class on basic individual tactics and practiced with
airsoft rifles. 4-Hour class on a advanced individual tactics and
urban survival shooting.
Series Course 3: $450 per person
A 2 day, 1 night course on
survival training, first aid, herbal medicine and camouflage/evasive
action training.
Listening to BDFS climates is quite fun... Right now there are three Black Dragon Fighting Societies all claiming to be descended from John Keehan A.K.A. Count Dante's Martial Arts Fraternity that encouraged cross training in the martial arts & pioneered full-contact karate. So who is the Real deal? Will the Real Black Dragon Fighting Society please stand up?
Lets start with the three organizations... There are is the International Fighting Arts Association Black Dragon Fighting Society, the South African Black Dragon Fighting Society and the Fall River Black Dragon Fighting Society... First off, lets get all this straightened out right now... The South African IFAA/BDFS is part of the American IFAA/BDFS. In fact it's head, Grandmaster Stoffel Van Vuuren, who is am amazing martial artist, along side Grandmaster Ashida Kim and Grandmaster Lawrence Day began the IFAA/BDFS and had it registered in South Africa as a direct insult to William "Bill" Aguilar the Third. Who tried to sue Ashida Kim and Floyd Web in 2008 over a documentary film Floyd Web was making about John Keehan/Count Dante. Quite frankly, Bill saw his law suit suit terminated on May 3rd 2010. And reading about the judge's ruling in an earlier motion in favor of Floyd Webb we can see why...
Grandmaster Stoffel's Black Dragon Fighting Society was created to razz Bill Aguiar as he'd have to take any copyright or trademark infringement claims to a court in South Africa. Even looking a Grandmaster Stoffel Van Vuuren's website, http://www.blackdragon.co.za/Black_Dragon_Fighting_Society.html we see the International Fighting Arts Association Black Dragon Fighting Society displayed.
So the South African Black Dragons are also associated with the American Black Dragons and we are, while legally two separate organizations, functionally one family of martial artists. The International Fighting Arts Association Black Dragon Fighting Society. Then we face the issue of lineage... Lineage is generally not important, Hatsumi can trace his "ninjutsu" to Takamatsu but Takamatsu was openly accused of making up his ninjutsu in the Bugei Ryuha Daijiten. So issues of who was your teacher don't really matter unless you are trying to trace everything back to a specific source... in this case Count Dante or John Timothy Keehan.
So lets discuss Grandmaster Stoffel's lineage to Count Dante, as a member of Ashida Kim's Black Dragon Fighting Society Grandmaster Van Vuuren traces his teaching to Ashida Kim & Lawrence Day who were both students of John Keehan. The present head of the IFAA/BDFS is Grandmaster Donald Miskel who help Count Dante found the Black Dragon Fighting Society and was another direct student of Keehan's. Remember Keehan was a "Karate-Guy" but encouraged and believed in cross training in all available martial arts at the time; Judo, Karate, Kung-fu, Boxing & Wrestling. This was a matter of training philosophy and self-defense methodology for Keehan. I will let his own words from World's Deadliest Fighting Secrets convince you...
This is only half the list, you have to buy the book to get the rest of the information but clearly you can see where Count Dante did not limit himself to one style of martial arts or one means of training as per the tradition of martial arts. Keehan was also heavily against Racism in and out of Martial Arts.
So who is William Aguiar the third? Bill 3, is the son of William Aguiar Jr. a martial artist who gained his rank outside of the Chicago era in the 60s and wanted to join Count Dante's Black Dragon Fighting Society. Bill Jr., was made head of the BDFS after convincing John Keehan to create the Dante system, then Bill Jr. Dropped the BDFS name and association in 1970. In 1975 Ashida Kim was first recorded using the Black Dragon Fighting Society name. So when Bill 3, filed for trademark in 1998 and brought suit against Ashida Kim and Floyd Webb in 2008, his trademark was cancelled on December 16th, 2006. More so, under US trademark law, the name Black Dragon Fighting Society had been associated with Ashida Kim since 1975, with Grandmaster's Miskel and Day since it was created in 1960. So how do you claim, to own something or patient something someone else has been using since before you were born, much less registered the trademark after the fact? There s the secondary issue, that while Bill 3 claim his father, Bill Jr. taught him martial arts, he can provide my proof of this. So while possible without proof, no one will recognize him as a 10th Dan at 28 years old. Muchless having fought professional sumo wrestlers at 15 and having ties to the mafia.
Remember lineage is only important when tracing yourself to someone or something. Someone claiming to have learned "ninjutsu" doesn't mean anything unless they are claiming to have learned it from someone or somewhere specific. So lineage is a much more important issue to those in the Takamatsuden who are claiming that Togakure Ryu is the root of all ninjutsu in Japan and using the modern research and translations create a modern system then myself, Ashida Kim, Frank Dux, Stoffel Van Vuuren, Christa Jacobson or anyone claiming to have learned "ninjutsu" but not trying to claim a link to the past. I have openly admitted and so have other named, to mixing arts and using what i felt was superior from other systems and arts, to include my own US Army Infantry training. However, to claim a link to John Keehan I must refer to my membership in the IFAA/BDFS and Grandmaster's Donald Miskel and Ashida Kim. Bill 3 is trying to rely on fraudulant claims and fraudulent legal filings...
From the US Patient & Trademark Office:
Above is the original filing by William Aguiar the 3rd, with his trademark filling filed on October 2nd 1998. Please note that Ashida Kim's claim goes back to 1975, via his first use of the BDFS name and logo in his book, Book of the Ninja, thus making it an unregistered trademark. Bill 3's trademark was filed over 20 years later...
Bill 3 had decided to register the name Black Dragon Fighting Society. April 7th 2007, months before his lawsuit against Ashida Kim and Floyd Webb but again. How can you file legal suit against some for an unregistered trademark, you register over 20 years after the fact. Of course, Bill 3 isn't filing suit again he is instead trying to cause people problems over the net. His trademark is an empty and hollow, paper temple for a service mark without a service. As far as the South African brothers go, well here Grandmaster Stoffel, with Grandmasters Ashida Kim, and Lawrence Day. Oh and I was there, even got the T-Shirt and pictures to prove it (Hell I'm wearing the shirt in the picture), with Frank Dux, Sky Benson, Paul Dyer and others...
So don't let liars and frauds confuse you, lineage to Dante/Keehan is as simple as who signed the rank certificates and who has pictures with "the Master" Count Dante. It takes more then a title and belt to be a martial artist and it takes more then some sketchy legal claim to call yourself Black Dragon Fighting Society.
Note: I am writing this in response to someone claiming there is division and trying to insight online trolls. I won't name this person just yet but felt to preemptively stop any controversy ASAP. I do so without the expressed permission or instruction to do so from the IFAA/BDFS leadership.
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;
Both are Armed...
Both feel threatened by the Government...
Both feel they are being targeted by the Government...
Both are organized and trained paramilitary units...
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...
Under the Chinese Zodiac I am a Metal Monkey. Monkey is one of the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac but each animal has a Element of Five Natural Forces. So this, zodiac has inspired me to write the title Will of Iron (as the Movie/story Iron Monkey is based off my Zodiac persona). I was having a discussion with a friend of mine about what it takes to be a real fighter... He had read my interview with Cult of Ninzuwu and he had questions, those questions and the discussion that evolved from them inspired this blog...
First off, let me tell you all something... I am not an impressive person, I'm short and I "don't look like a martial artists" (whatever that means). I'm not going to wow with modelling good looks or intimidate you with size and inhuman amounts of muscle. What will do is surprise you. It is this reason and this reason alone, I often speak of my own exploits.
Secondly, I don't have much respect for the "martial arts" community that has proven itself to be a bunch of whiny punks behind a computer screen. I have respect for fighters, and no I'm not talking about Ronda Rousey or Fabricio Werdum. I'm talking about real fighters (not saying they aren't), about people who suffer, sacrifice and just don't give up even when they fail (and especially fail repeatedly). May be coming up those champions did but being a fighter (at least to me is a mindset).
See I can tell you about the time I fought for money, when I was homeless and 15 to 16 years old. Everyone makes a big deal out of kid fighting drunks and addicts with no training and skill or the experience to back it up. Whoo Hoo I beat up scrubs! (There should be some dripping sarcasm there if you hadn't noticed.) Because, fighting for money was better then robbing people and I didn't have the money to buy drugs to re-sell them. Oh and I was 15 so I couldn't get a job. My fight, was simply dealing with being poor... at 16 I got a job at Wendy's and made more money then I did fighting for it.
Does that make me better then Rousey or Werdum? No... but some troll will say I said I was better. You see we love watching MMA, boxing and martial arts movies because they are about people facing adversity. We love war movies because its about someone rising to the occasion and overcoming. In the military, they taught us "No One rises to the Occasion, they Just Fall back on Training..." And the Military is 100% right, but we have been trained by life since we were born. How our parents raise us and teach us (train us), to treat the world and others is how we will react in world.
Let me clarify this for you a bit, if your parents teach you its acceptable to quit, give up and let people walk over you. You will allow that to happen... But, if your parents teach you to stand up for yourself, to accept failure but, not to accept not trying and to see yourself as someone of value. You will do that as well...
I can't wait to see this new Rocky Movie, Creed... Because so many people loved Rocky so much they don't even remember he lost in the first movie. The whole theme was explained in the Rocky Balboa movie (2006) when he said "It's not about hard you can hit. Its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." The same theme is expressed in the Creed movie preview, because the theme of the Rocky movies has always been about overcoming.
I think it is the perfect way to end the franchise by passing the torch but, my point is people can talk trash, they can sabotage your goals and belittle your dreams. In the end, it is simply whether you give up or give in. Fighting spirit is about the will to take your hits, to be beaten down and get back up. Not every fight is about hitting people or waged against another person but, all fights are waged against life, a world full of people and countless hardships and problems. Too many people don't have the will to fight, because the will to fight is the will to live...
As I said, I can only speak for myself but, I can say this... What I did, anyone can do. They just have to know how. It is not about winning or losing it is about being willing to fight. Fighting battles you can't win means that winning means nothing to you (you can't win anyway right?) but, the fight has meaning. It means you can, take the hits, get knocked down and get back up again. While everyone is pointing to what I was charged with and what was claimed they haven't seen the evidence or the facts...
Here is the arrest warrant, Case Number 13F-1026...
Here is the Psychological Evaluation by Dr. Miller that lists the evidence given to him by the State, AKA Christen Keller the Raleigh County Prosecutor.
This clearly shows that Kristen Keller, never supplied the evidence in regard to my case she was required to do so by, West Virginia Code: 27-6A-2 (b). Which goes to show you the issue was that I stated a clear and legal argument justifying that anyone call defend their self against false arrest, if they can prove the officer acted in "bad faith." It also makes any warrants issued by the Raleigh County Prosecutor against seem suspect and issued by means of political goals as opposed to lawful interests... Otherwise, why bothering to attempt to try to suppress lawfully required evidence and make Dr. Miller an unknowing (?) accessory to fabricating evidence?
So while I chose to fight, knowing I couldn't win a "war of resisting arrest" (My second Amendment Right) without being labeled a "terrorist," I knew a battle fought in court (over my First Amendment Rights talking about my 2nd Amendment Rights) could be won. I just had to take the hit of being arrested falsely, yet again and, fighting the winnable battle in court. Which the court dismissed without reason on September 11th, though we had already agreed to their capitulation prior to that outside the court and the media's eyes. Though I am still curious about if the case was before Judge Burnside because, he was once married to Kristen & far from impartial?
Regardless public information is admissible in court and, so I leave Beckley (and all of Raleigh County) an early Christmas present. Proof of prior bad faith actions, by the state police and prosecutor in conspiracy with each other. This is grounds to showing why one should have an evidentiary hearing and question any discrepancies in statement and warrants of any trial until the State takes action concerning it. To see more publicly available information on police misconduct, the states use of informants & police misconduct is all inside Never Back Down: The True Story of Ron Collins, with recordings on YouTube. See it is not the whether you can't the fight, it is winning the fights you can win and being willing to get knocked down, and get back up to fight until you can win. Heart is not something you can teach an adult or a teenager, it is something you teach your children. You don't learn you have heart by quitting, by taking the easy road. You do it by leaping without looking and trust God (or whatever you believe in as a higher authority, for me it is Yahweh or Jehovah, which ever name you prefer for God) to give you wings... So I fought to give everyone the tools to fight back, the question is who is going to fight and who is going to lay down?
If nothing else, you go numb from getting hit and keep getting hit as you move forward...
Not long ago, I read a article called How To Travel When SHTF by Prepper's Will. I don't think its a bad article but I think it needs to provide some information about how to just that. So I've decided to write a blog explaining such tactics and techniques that should have been in Prepper's Will own blog.
While the cited article was focused on general information it was more like generalized things to do without much discription on how to do them. Many things addressed like securing you vehicle was covered in Poorman's Guide to Prepping: Economical Doomsday Survival available from Shadow Warrior Publishing for $14.95. Knowing what to do is only part of the solution, knowing how to do it is just as vital. As they say in G.I. Joe, "Knowing is half the battle." but they don't say doing is the other half.
Rule Number 1: Know your Area!
Terrain dictates tactics, so if you know your terrain you know know what tactics you are going to be dealing with. Terrain is not just about hills and valleys, swamps and deserts, urban or rural but who is in your area. Many Americans live in rural areas where the prepping lifestyle is a way of life and moving to these areas your "Prepping" is just a funny city-slicker way of say Red Neck Ingenuity or Common Sense to a Hill Billy. Some places in the woods locals don't go because they know there are pot fields, meth labs and people who will kill you to protect their supply. Police won't even go into those areas without going in force, having back up ready and air support. So know not only the hills and valleys but the people you are dealing with.
Travel on Foot:
Travel on foot may be unavoidable and while I somewhat agree with Prepper's Will about travelling at night, night time is more likely to get you shot for being mistaken for a looter or burglar. In some cases you may need to travel alone, car breaks down and you have to stash or abandon your gear and just travel with a bug out bag, a state of martial law is declared for a localize emergency (Hey I was 13 when the Governor of West Virginia declare a State of Emergency and put National Guard on the Streets because an ice storm knocked out power and people started breaking into drug stores and looting, it is not as strange or as dramatic as Hurricane Sandy or Katrina was.).
There are debates online about whether to be a Grayman or go all paramilitary when SHTF. This all depends on what and how things are breaking down. Now yes, police and those in authority will treat a individual in paramilitary garb as a threat but statically speaking criminals will leave you alone. This is based on a Department of Justice Survey cited in the U.S. News & World Report story titled Open Carry Deters Crime so even you are walking up the road with a backpack, your hunting rifle and a handgun on your belt, you are a less likely target to criminals then someone carrying concealed. Now whether you are a target for some Rambo-wannabe Barry Fife is a different matter. I always suggest someone getting starting with a bug out bag and working down from there.
While I agree with Prepper's Will about not travelling but you need to a) understand your environment and b) know the people you are dealing with. Night time travel in a cold environment is not suggested and if you must evacuate (that's what bugging out is) you need to know not only were you are going but have worked out several alternate routes. A substitute for foot travel is using a smaller vehicle such as a bicycle, moped, dirt bike (motor cycle) or ATV. However, these things are limited by what kind of terrain they can be used one, and the need for fuel. An electric motor can be charged using a small solar kit but that effects travel. Regardless you need to practice said hike before you attempt it in a emergency. Even then, just avoiding the interstate isn't enough because many people will risk it, even not knowing the area just to "follow the locals" hoping to avoid a traffic jam and many local may be trying to use the same paths and trails you are. So again you need to know your area, physically and socially.
Basic Tips for Travel On Foot:
Avoid Traveling Alone: If at all possible avoid traveling alone but, lets assume you can't help it. Great either try to blend in with others if you are in a crowd or try to find a place to lay low to evaluate the situation and figure out your next move. If you have to travel alone make sure to use the proper tactics, be the gray man with authorities and present a hard target to criminals.
Noise and Light Discipline: Noise and Light Discipline is military term for "shut up, tie down, dirty it & no Light." Shut Up, is the very simple concept of don't speak unless you have to and speak quietly (whisper when you do). Tie Down, is the simple concept of tie down any loose straps, clothing and so on, so as not to create a snag or brush against something when moving. Dirty it, is the basic concept of using dirt to cover the shine of skin, metal or plastic items and any bright clothing. This is basically camouflage. No Light, doesn't mean not have a flash light, it means not to use it excessively. If you use a flashlight put a red lens on it and even then cover it. This a) protects your night vision and b) makes a you less visible to other. So if you are checking a map, cover you and map with your coat while using the light.
Camouflage, Cover & Concealment: This is pretty simple, camouflage is any clothing pattern and movement method which allows you to go unnoticed. Many "survival experts" call this being the gray man and treat the tactic of camouflage as if it is a survival strategy, it isn't. You don't need to wear BDUs or MarPat to be camouflaged, right now its fall I live in West Virginia which means there are no leaves on the trees and everything is brown. So wearing Tan and Khaki clothing will allow me to blend in better then a pare of BDUs. Cover is an obstacle that prevents contact with the enemy (anyone who threatens your life and safety) and obstructs said enemy's view of you. A sheetrock wall is not cover, if your enemy is armed, bullets will pass through sheet rock. This makes sheetrock concealment, concealment is anything that obstructs sight with the enemy but doesn't prevent contact.
Travel Along Cover & Concealment: Don't avoid roads, just avoid traveling on them. You can travel along a road but approximately 30 to 50 yards to the side of, off the road. This allows you observe the road and follow it but allows you remain concealed so as to avoid an trouble on the road. Do not walk on the tops of ridges or hills so as not to silhouette yourself, instead travel along the side of the hill.
Camouflage your Camp Site: If you have to lay low or shelter in place, you need to camouflage your area. This means avoiding the usual camp site activities like camp fires or building shelters. Even if you do build a shelter you need to make sure it's hidden from view and preferably between two larger objects with a limited area of approach. If you have to build a fire us a Dakota Fire Hole.
Learn Individual Movement Principles: Learning basic skills like individual movement techniques for sneaking about. You never know when it will come in handy. When in doubt, freeze or just drop to your stomach and low craw to cover. To get a basic idea just watch the video below...
Post Watch/Traps/Alarms: When camping or rest, set a few small noise traps, or even defensive traps to cause injury if you travel alone. This allows some small amount of protection, though travelling with someone who can keep watch while you sleep and you can watch for them while they rest is the best bet.
Always Be Armed: You don't need a AR15 with all the latest tacticool gadgets or a AK47, anything will do as long as you have some means of self-defense. Even if you are carrying a hastily made spear out a butcher knife, duct tape and an old broom stick or just old broom stick. Having some means yo defend yourself is critical.
Travel in a Vehicle:
Vehicle Travel is a pain in the ass, because you either have to be on the road before traffic turns the interstate into a parking lot or you have wait until after all hell breaks loose and its safe too travel afterward, which puts you in the "storm" when shit hits the fan. In either case you need to have extra fluids, gas for your vehicle and still have to sport room for you preps. If you have more then one vehicle remember the slowest and least off road capable sets the pace. Then there are security issues... Look any jack ass with a chain saw and a gun can rob you by putting trees in the road and car jacking you. Some small towns with little to now law enforcement presence will have a Bubba or group of Bubbas who will set up their own check points in a Doomsday scenario. Some of these small towns will then cut off routes through rural America, so taking the back roads can and will be more dangerous then we think. Same can be said for some urban and sub-urban neighborhoods. This happened during Katrina and Sandy in the US.
So lets look at the most likely scenario, a father of 2 children (a 14 year old argumentative drama queen brat of daughter who thinks the world revolves around her & a 7 year old son who has spent more time playing video games then playing outside) are forced to evacuate. The family mini van is packed with essentials, and they have to travel 47 miles to Aunt Marta's house during a mass evacuation.
But what are the essentials? To the son its a PSP and an MP3 player... The to daughter its her cell phone and facebook which is now down. To the wife its all the canned goods and everyone is packing a lot of cloths. To daddy, John Doe its his .380 and 12 gauge shot gun. This nightmare scenario becomes so much worse if we are talking about a single mother or just a single person.
So lets discuss those basics shall we, what do you need for your car-kit?
Cloths are fine and all but you need no more then 5 pares of cloths, per person. But, you also need to think Hygene as well, Antiseptic Wipes or Antiseptic Soap and a wash cloth, Tooth Brush, Etc.
The Bug Out Bag, there are different builds and each person should build there own to there needs. Bug-Out bags are the basic foundation. Most of the essentials should be covered here and a little extra in car, like matches and lighters doesn't hurt.
I suggest at a minimum two 5-Gallon Gas Cans, jumper cables, Jump Starter, extra fluids (all of them) at least 4 bottles and 6 for oil, spare blankets, flashlight, socket set, spare fuses, car jack, lug wrench, a case of water and some emergency food (trail mix & jerky will do) and that is for everyday travel. And that is not counting the spare tire or tire chains if your location requires them and oh yeah a can of fix-a-flat or 4, just in case. Don't forget your first aid kit either.
A fairly medium tent would be a good addition. Your vehicle is made of glass and steel and those things trap heat but also transfer the cold temperature will make your car a freezer in the winter. A good tarp is also recommended.
Then you can start looking at Food to take, other things... of that nature. As for guns well, that is on you but I think the pioneers had a good system. You need only 3 three at a minimum. A shotgun for utility and a handgun for close in defense. You need a rifle for long range shooting and don't forget to buy a big freaking knife and a hatchet or tomahawk. For rifles I suggest a AR15 or AK47 style rifle as it is good for general defense. Also take a tactical class and learn to use it effectively.
Now what are the special items you need, after all I just covered the basic above... Lets start out simple, maps... GPS is fine but paper maps don't need batteries and if you are going to Aunt Martha's you need to map out back roads and main highways to get there. You can get local area crime stats at your police departments and mark danger areas you want to avoid. Some people suggest having cache's along the way and you can do this along those routes but, a cache can be found and looted by others. So do so at your own risk. A pioneer's kit is also recommended, a axe, shovel and pick or matic is recommended at a minimum.
Now if you have your family of 4, you need security... Mommy and Daddy need to be packing. With that family of 4 daddy needs his handgun handy for a right hand draw, and mommy needs to be sitting in the back seat middle with the shotgun. Grocery bags filled with dirt (i.e. sandbags) can be used to line the back of mini-van and placed long the doors on the inside to provide some ballistic protection (hey if it works for the US Army it will work for your family). That single parent needs to sit in the driver seat with a shotgun across their lap to cover the right side and that handgun at a right hand draw to cover the left side.
If you are traveling by convoy (3 or more vehicles together), the fastest vehicles needs a flare gun and too travel about 1 to 3 miles ahead of the rest, with two people inside. This allows for a forward observer in case the road is blocked or a situation arises. In case the radio can't reach you, I live a state where mountains can block cell phone and even CB reception, the flare provides an emergency warning. All non-combatants (injured, women and children; Note: I'm not saying women aren't capable for defending themselves I'm saying they are the last line in defending the children and we all know that saying about mother protecting her young... Oh and I'm sorry men should be men and fight to protect their families!) need to travel with the supplies. The "defense forces" or IRF (instant reaction force) needs to have all the fighters in the group. Order of travel is simple, Scout Vehicle, IRF and Non-Com (Non-Combatants). If the threat comes from behind, the IRF can provides a defensive position to engage while the Non-Coms advance past them to safety or advance while the Non-Coms halt should the Scouts encounter anything. More so, just because they are non-combatants doesn't mean the Non-Coms should be unable to defend themselves.
DO NOT Pick Up Strays... By Strays I mean anyone not in your group. I don't care if it is women and children if you don't know them personally, you are best to avoid them. Look criminals use kids all the time to run drugs, steal and commit other crimes. They also use them as decoys, so don't take the risk.
This is very loosely based on US Army doctrine and convoy SOP. Ideally, if the scouts encounter a potential threat they call in IRF as support and investigate one scout providing over-watch with a rifle and allow the other to advance. A Bubba checkpoint might only seeking to keep out trouble or it could be a ride side robbery waiting to happen. The last thing you want them to know is that you have a combat capable IRF on standby. Basically, it is a very simple matter of using this as recommended for basic tentative plan and adjust were you need to. Two vehicles don't need to send a scout element because that splits the force in half.
Travel Alone:
Travel alone is not recommended. But its say it unavoidable well that video on basic individual movement will provide some basic techniques for you. Some additional information for those travelling alone...
Always assume the area is under enemy observation.
Move slowly. A sniper counts his movement progress by feet and inches.
Do not cause overhead movement of trees, bushes, or tall grasses by rubbing against them.
Plan every movement and move in segments of the route at a time.
Stop, look, and listen often.
Move during disturbances such as gunfire, explosions, aircraft noise, wind, or anything that will distract the enemy’s attention or conceal one's movement.
Avoid known enemy positions and obstacles.
Seek terrain that offers the best cover and concealment.
Take advantage of difficult terrain (swamps, dense woods, and so forth).
Do not use trails, roads, or footpaths.
Avoid built-up or populated areas.
Avoid areas of heavy enemy & criminal activity.
Avoid conflict when possible but, if you have to fight... go all out and take no prisoners.
Travel by Day or Night:
While I somewhat agree with Prepper's Will, I don't think night time is the only option. If you are in difficult terrain or a rural area with large predators. Travel at night might not be advisable, so when moving through difficult terrain day light hours are your best bet. There is no single answer and each situation is different so do what is best for you, when you feel you have to.
Know Your Environment:
I know I've covered this already but you need to practice you drive or hike out of dodge and practice the alternate routes at least twice a year. You need to know of if not know, everyone in your area. The social landscape can be just as dangerous as the physical one and will impact the physical landscape in an emergency.
Types of SHTF:
Different type of SHTF events require a whole different set of tactics. The basic idea here is simple, you are bugging out for a reason. Regardless of whats happening you are leaving your home and have to assume none of your stuff will be left behind because it is better/safer for you to leave and not stay put.
Martial Law:
Many people talk about the government coming for you or America becoming a police state. Well guess what, too late we are already there... suck it up "Tinker Bell" and deal with it. There are several situations in which martial law can and will be imposed. In small areas like we've seen in the past covered by the mainstream media with its government funded propaganda. Like Hurricane Katrina, Boston and Hurricane Sandy, now here is the thing...
Lets say your area has been placed under a state of emergency and the police are coming door to door taking your guns and other preps. You have three ways to handle the situation. 1. Start shooting, likely to get you and others killed. 2. Bug-out and 3. Accept it.
Now if you accept it the government will cart you off the a FEMA camp or some location like the Super Dome, with a bunch of other people. And well it took FEMA how long to get water there and if you haven't heard the stories about the rape gangs that was in the Super Dome and how little protection people had... well google it. Or just read this story from the LA Times.
You could resist and that is going to do three things, a) get you killed, b) get you arrested and c) cause the powers that be to put more trigger happy and paranoid jack-booted thugs on the ground to terrorize you. Then there is bugging out.
Our middle option is to sneak out the area of effect and get on to your BOL (Bug Out Location). You can't just drive through a check point with a car full of gear and guns go to Aunt Martha's. You will most likely have to hike out on foot carrying your gear and dragging your family with you. Like's a bitch but hey get to walking...
Natural Disaster:
Travel during or after a major natural disaster is a different scenario. Remember what happened in LA post hurricane Katrina with the localized martial law was due to a sudden up-shoot in crime and looting. Not keep this in mind because a natural disaster caused massive civil unrest and civil unrest lead to martial law. So lets look at the Natural Disaster angle for a minute...
A natural disaster causes a breakdown in social order and most likely economical and utility service in an area. This causes civil unrest or those of malicious intent to act maliciously. Either way, weather or flooding or earth quakes have all cut you off and you need to get out the area. You might have to accept a few things, first is that certain roads may be impassable and second you might not know it until you are on said road. You can map out and mark locations likely to suffer landslides, flooding and so on. But if you are home you are home and if you are leaving home there needs to be a major reason why...
Civil Unrest:
This is the bitch issue, asshole breaking stuff and robbing people. Looting is a criminal act of stealing things you don't need to own or sale for profit via breaking and entering. Savaging is taking things you need via theft because it's an emergency. Both are illegal and both can get you killed. When the police are arresting people and breaking up riots they don't care what you are doing, if it look illegal, it's illegal. If you are breaking down my shop door, I don't care if your daughter is dying from a bad asthma attack or your trying to get a free TV. I'm going to shoot you if not shoot at you...
This is where people skills and de-escalation are handy for dealing with people & why I teach it in my Street Focus Jujitsu course. Now lets talk the major issue, civil unrest brings the authorities to re-establish order. You don't want to be on the road when this happens and you could have no other choice. If possible get away from the conflict zone and wait it out in your car. If you are forced to evacuate an area under civil breakdown or, just drive through Detroit, its best to travel in the day where you can see a threat a long ways off and be armed.
I remember reading a person's account of evacuating during Katrina. The truck ran out of gas in bumper to bumper traffic on the interstate that was going at a snails pace. As one person began filling the truck from a gas can, other people started demanding gas for themselves. Well three younger men were going to take the gas, until the older gentle man in the truck brandished his handgun. Imagine the effect of those three attacking other drivers and looting their vehicle. It would have spark additional unrest and violence in an already heated situation with people's emotions running high.
These are the three main scenarios for a SHTF event and that is leaving out terrorism or other massive breakdown events. The focus is travel in an event of emergency and dealing with possible risks.
Summer Travel and Winter Travel:
Not every crisis will occur during the summer or in warmer weather. So you need to have certain gear for winter travel when bugging out in colder weather. Colder weather brings a whole catagory of risk few preppers are really prepared to face. This is especially true of travel
Travelling during SHTF:
The basic focus has been in evaluating the situation and various methods. Its important to know the difference between a survival tactic and survival strategy. This is basically the difference between a tactic and strategy. Strategies are a series of overlapping plans that direct one to reach the ultimate plan, tactics are pre-planned responses to an event. You need a plan a strategy but, you also need to know some basic tactics to make that strategy work.
I hope you never need this information and that if you do, this blog as been of some help. I'd also like to think Prepper's Will for the inspiration to write this blog. Be safe everyone and thank you all for helping this blog reach 30,000 viewers.
This blog varies between survivalism, prepping and martial arts, to just the insanity of my life... I live an interesting life but we live in interesting times. The world is changing around us and following the ebb and flow of nature is impossible in a convoluted mess of information and personal drama, our world presents. We all feel something is about to happen but it will not happen suddenly, there will be warning signs and watchers who will see the coming changes and will seek to warn others but, many will not listen.
What we need are warriors, I don't care were you call you faith from or what culture represents your warrior image, Viking, Knight, Spartan, Samurai or Shinobi these are all names but for what is the Warrior Achetype. Simply put the world is changing and, change brings conflict. Honor, Courage and Codes of Morality... The warrior knows he will die and death is accepted for it is better to to die then live as a slave. Death is better then submission for we all die but, to live is a struggle and a war we face daily.
I know not the day nor the hour, but do know something is changing we all feel it, even if, we do not see it. There are so many possibilities and we are so caught up on preparing for the what we see. Economic collapse or war, terrorism and on and on we go... but where are we going?
This is the nature of the warrior, you are a shield to the weak and a sword to those who are an enemy. The enemy is anyone or anything that seeks to do you or yours harm. My interest in martial arts is only in what tools it puts, in my tool box. I don't care for style or lineage. I care about what what works... It might shock people but, I hate fighting. Why? Because I am good at it. Violence and bloodshed are things that come naturally to me but, they are not what I am about.
Remember I'm the guy who stood alone without any weapons and who used internet trolls and haters to manipulate the government at the state level to draw out these hilly billy blood feuds for some unknown purpose. The simple fact is, it is just insane to dismiss Terroristic Threats charges.... without trial. And if, some form of violence where ever called for, imagine how that would look?
No, I don't mean to make or imply anything threatening only to show were the state of West Virginia (those in power under the cloak of the states authority) failed to prove anything and then just dropped everything after I manipulated them into even more corrupt practices. Besides my "threat" (actually a hypothetical legal argument) was simply a basis for using the Standard of the US Supreme Court in Bad Elk v the United States & Mapp v Ohio which I mistakenly called Brady v Ohio, to publicly address the corruption in the Raleigh County and West Virginia State Government.
Know this, I'm calling all warriors to stand ready, to build your tool boxes and dig in deep. This going to be a long slow burn before the big plunge. Also know this, I did nothing of my own power the whole time I was fighting "my war" God was fighting for me, with me and everything happened according to his plan. I did nothing he did not do through me. As I said, everything was dismissed & I've had time do something if I had decided to do anything... but what I did was not about violence or threats of violence it was merely a stratagem of "painting them" into a proverbial corner. Of allowing corruption to run it course and then stand secure behind my line in the sand.
For a while this blog has remained idle while I have been engaged in the real world doing the thing I wanted to do from the very beginning. Living a quiet and simple life. There is a saying Si vis pacem, para bellum, If you want peace, prepare for war... When engaged in a war you must first decide the kind of war you wish to fight. For me this was a legal and political war... What are the results of little endeavor? Well there is solid proof that Kristen Keller lied and falsified evidence in court. Combined with the false statements of Trooper in "investigated" my statement, we can show a pattern of falsehood and corruption to cover up past falsifications of evidence and well... justification for the hypothetical legal argument is again supplied by the state. It invalidates the "good faith" of any "investigations" or "warrants." It establishes a pattern and long standing history of corruption that Christopher Dorner did not and unlike Dorner, I am not so filled with hate I wish take anyone's life or so desperate as cause chaos were innocent people (I'm talking about the civilians shot by scared LAPD cops and not the cops the themselves) are harmed. I have no intent to harm anyone and never did, like David coming out the cave with a strip of Saul's skirt in hand to show that he could have harmed Saul but did not wish to, I sought to point out I could do so but had no intention to do so. I did so at a time when police informants were working extra hard to entrap me and anyone associated with me, with the full sanction & protection of the police. The same informants who sell drugs, shoot up people's homes, break into people's homes and steal their cars all with the protection of the police who are charged with protecting our society.
West Virginia is a micro-cosmos for what is happening throughout the US. And while many want to to latch on to labels to blame others like racism, class-ism and so on. They are neglecting the core element, simple human ego and greed. At the core of all such "-ism's" is the simple belief that one is superior by reason of class, race, religion, position, status or size of one's bank account. There will be those who try to excite the masses and spread chaos but remember the simple truth... puppet masters are always behind the curtain. Violence only sparks a violent reaction, even when that violence is justified. I am suggesting to all who wish to stand up and fight to do so, but to do so with a calm mind and a light touch. Educate yourself, educate others, gather your information and fight a non-violent battle just as I have done. I'm am not speaking as someone who spends his days preaching propaganda but as someone who has done it.
