Sipsey Street Irregulars: Now accepting magazine donations for Colorado civil disobedience.

Now accepting magazine donations for Colorado civil disobedience.

While the exact arrangements for the Colorado armed civil disobedience are still up in the air, the need for magazines to accomplish it is not. I would like to thank those readers who pointed this out to me by sending me, unsolicited, thirty round AR and AK mags to my PO Box. I am still waiting on a reply from some magazine manufacturers, and no doubt some of them don't want to get involved with a notorious "insurrectionist" as myself. In the meantime, I'm going to take the readers' advice and put out this call for the raw material of civil disobedience. Anything not used in Colorado will be used in other states that have, or will soon will, passed such tyrannical legislation.

Also, a reader commented that Peter Boyles, an announcer on KHOW in Denver, is planning to organize a magazine swap of his own on 2 July. I have been trying to get hold of him via KHOW's email system for some days without success. Would someone kindly try to establish contact on my behalf and refer him to my email address at GeorgeMason1776ATaolDOTcom? If we can't work out a coordinated protest at least I can publicize his in addition to ours.

The address for mailing the magazines is PO Box 926, Pinson, AL 35126. And please, don't send magazines that won't feed, have dents in the body or bent feed lips. I'm not sure it is civil disobedience if it is just scrap that we are going to hand out. Plus, whoever gets your mag -- a fellow Threeper, no doubt -- may one day be betting his or her life upon it. However, feel free to paint or write a suitable sentiment on the side or floor plate of the magazine. Thanks.

brunop said...: I donate to lots of things. In this case, it seems like people who want and/or need mags should have been in the business of getting them for quite some time?; May 2, 2013 at 12:02 PM
Ashrak said...: It would be awesome if that cat making the 3-D mags would donate a case or two. Watched a spot on TV last night and he stood up to the "journalist" nicely.; May 2, 2013 at 12:52 PM

I must've missed a previous post or something.; May 3, 2013 at 8:55 AM
Anonymous said...: I talked to Greg Hollenback at KHOW yesterday. 303-713-8255. He said send him another email to his first name at khow.com. They screen the emails and will get in touch if interested. He said they will ignore it if they aren't interested. I sent him an email with a link to this post... Hopefully you'll hear from them.; May 3, 2013 at 9:31 AM
Anonymous said...: Anony, there was a link to MV's previous column explaining the project right in the first sentence. And brunop, the point isn't to supply mags, it's to publicly defy the evil "law." Now are we going to support MV on this or does he have to do it all himself while all we do is post comments on a forum he gives us? Anybody have an idea what it takes for him to travel? And when was the last time we donated for a voluntary SSI subscription, if ever?; May 3, 2013 at 3:32 PM

"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.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"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.
