Sipsey Street Irregulars: "Who is Mike Vanderboegh?"

"Who is Mike Vanderboegh?"

The local CBS affiliate asks the question here. Considering that they interviewed me for over an hour a couple of months ago, I'm surprised how little "scary stuff" they thought worth including.

One correction, which I make over and over again without apparent effect -- I was not a leader or a member of the Alabama Constitutional Militia in the '90s. I was a leader of a Alabama constitutional militia formation, but my unit was the 1st Alabama Cavalry Regiment, Constitutional Militia. The group formally known as Alabama Constitutional Militia was led by John Hassey from the Prattville area. CBS is only the latest in a long string of media outlets to get this wrong, no matter how often I try to make it clear.

Be sure and see "Dickhead Doug" Jones' rant about me in part two of the piece. The collectivist sumbitch was US Attorney during the Clintonista regime. He waited until the FBI snitch who provided the dynamite for the 16th Street Church bombing safely died before he resurrected the murder charges against the other murderous sheetheads who actually killed the little girls. Jones' lying and distortion about what I actually said and did and conflating me with Eric Robert Rudolph is not done by accident nor is it in ignorance. He was well briefed about me in the 90s, the lying shithead.

He spent the eight years of the Bush administration defending crooked Democrat politicians like former Governor Don Siegelman. He didn't help Siegelman much, I can tell you.

If he and his Obamanoid comrades think they can make a case, then they should bring it on.

We also had an "affiliated" fellow who was an armor collector. Unfortunately, he was killed in an industrial accident and his son subsequently sold off his entire private museum (vehicles and weapons) with all the operational rolling stock.

The reason for adopting "First Alabama Cavalry" as a name was that the 1ACR in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries was actually one of the busiest militia formations in the state, always being dispatched to situations where local law had broken down.

Unlike the 4th Alabama Infantry, which was converted over to the National Guard 167th Infantry Regiment (part of the Rainbow Division in WWI), the 1ACR never made the conversion after the Dick Act, so the name was laying around in the dustbin of history. We just breathed life into it.

We adopted the patch of another defunct formation, the Tank Destroyer Corps of WWII. The black panther crunching tank treads between its jaws was just perfect for a state where the Alabama black panther had just then begun to make a comeback.

We also did more training in recon, scouting and screening, etc. than the average 90s militia group.

Hence, "cavalry." And yes, there were a few horse-mounted folks as well, but only enough to make up -- perhaps -- a squad.

Justin said...: This is what I heard:

"We'll shoot back...."
"We're done backing up..."
"A civil war is possible..."

None of those threaten aggressive violence against the state. They threaten defense if attacked. They threaten non-compliance with unlawful, unconstitutional edicts from our government. The last one is just a statement of fact.

I guess you should have said, "With all due respect, we really don't appreciate how you are acting. Could you please stop taking away our freedoms? No? Ok, well then, I guess I'll do what you say then. But I really don't like it. What's that? Oh, sorry, that sounds harsh. OK, I'll do whatever you tell me. After all, you've got my best interests at heart."

A total misrepresentation of facts on their part. What did I expect though?

News flash, News lady. Mike isn't some evil cult leader, brainwashing his minions. Mike is one of the first with the guts to spell out what many, many people feel already. His site is a gathering place for like minded people. I would bet for every one of us that frequent this site, there are ten more who have never heard of it. I know for fact that others refuse to visit it over OPSEC concerns, but are true threepers nonetheless.

Oh well, keep it up, Mike.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
