Sipsey Street Irregulars: Judging "absolute horse shit" for yourself.

Judging "absolute horse shit" for yourself.

Sam Damewood, a self-proclaimed expert on pure equine excrement.

The other day, I received this comment from someone signing himself as "Samuel" on my post The long game & the struggle for liberty. Ghostly echoes of history from 1774-1775 to 2014-2015, Part Two --

Well the 'Chainsaw Rebellion" post is hogwash. There was no "blessing from a constitutional sheriff", if the persons in attendance were armed they were CCing, don't remember seeing any. The Forest Service actually permitted the cutting, saw the written authorization In County Commissioner Ronnie Rardin's hand and read it with my own damned eyes. No Forest Circus employees anywhere in sight.

Now, for a guy like me who takes his footnotes pretty seriously, this was quite a charge. It was also brought to my attention that when David Codrea posted a link to my essay on Facebook, he got this comment from one Sam Damewood:

"Having been at two of the events listed by Bob Wright and Cope Reynolds I'll just say that things don't always happen anything like the storyteller would like us to believe. Some things there are correct, some are absolute horse shit."

I guess we can assume these posts originate from the same guy. Here is Sam Damewood's Facebook page.

Now, the first thing I did was send off this criticism to Cope Reynolds and Bob Wright. Bob immediately sent me these two links of video of the event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueRRY_xVfl4 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulMPIaP0jWk commenting, "On the 2nd video at 8:30 you will see the sheriff's blessing."

Cope Reynolds also responded to Bob and I:

I don't know what dumbass wrote this but, yes, we were CC'ing but only because it was windy and cold that day. I'm pretty sure I have pics of a few OC'ers and I have pics of armed USFS Rangers on site. You know as well as I do that we the blessing of a very cooperative and like-minded sheriff.

Bob responded with this video link adding the comment "At about 11:00 you will hear Steve (NM Congressman Steve Pearce) acknowledge the 2nd amendment activists in attendance."

Now I don't know Sam Damewood from Adam's off ox. I have known Bob Wright for 20 years and Cope Reynolds for a long time too. I have seen both of them in action. They are the real deal and if they tell me something is true I'll take it to the bank. This much I know: the Forest Service, which had earlier threatened all with arrest, did in fact back off of that demand. The people they backed off from were armed, and the USFS knew in advance that some if not most of them would be armed. The Congressman publicly recognized the armed men and women in the crowd. I'm going to stand by my characterization of this as an armed civil disobedience. I will leave the readers to judge "absolute horse shit" for yourselves and who is purveying it.

Anonymous said...: The collectivists truly fear open defiance when done by numbers out in the open. They know full well that imposing their will by doing violence upon the Citizenry EXPOSES them and their true agenda.

First they ignored it. Now they are trying to laugh at mock and otherwise discredit it. They know the next step - as ghandi put it anyway - and that's what they fear most.....

I love it. And therein rests the core value of three percenters. We will not shoot- as we refuse to comply- but we WILL shoot BACK.

SO as more and more bovine excrement is exposed, their only choice is to plant a false flag event where they can shoot first while claiming we shot first. The "mass school shootings" don't work for controllers anymore - indeed all the blood dancing is backfiring I the controllers.

Note - at the Bundy Ranch, they TRIED to place their plants. Look for them to escalate attempts just like that one.

Nice seeing ya stand up to bullshitters Mike. Well done.; January 5, 2015 at 2:19 PM

Unknown said...: It's too bad that Sam decided to voice his remembered perception in this manner. I've been following Mike for some years now and have been fortunate to have spent some time with him. I believe Mike to be a good judge of character and I trust in his trust.

I have followed Cope not for very long but have had to opportunity to speak with him outside of course instruction, and I believe him also be be an honest man whom I can trust.

Sam should have approached this with good deal more tact. Sad.; January 5, 2015 at 11:00 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.

"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.
