Spent pretty much all day yesterday being interviewed by a documentary filmaker.

From 10 AM to almost 8PM. Sorry I can't give you any other details but it is a fair bet that whenever the finished product comes out, I won't be around for the premiere. It was, in some measure my swan song for the record, covering my perspective of my conversion "on the road to Damascus" from the dark side of collectivism and the past twenty plus years in the liberty movement, including my experiences in the militia movement post Waco, my participation in the OKC bombing private investigation, Fast and Furious and the origins of the Three Percent concept as well as the armed civil disobedience campaigns in various states. Consequently, I am spent myself. Will try to have more posts later today after church.

All I can say!! 'Don't care how you cut it, Life is always "TOO SHORT!!!" 'Looking forward to the film'" 'Hope the "Reaper" curtails his duty for a while!! I freak out when people talk about their up coming demise and realize that "because of my advanced age" although my sawbones has signed off on my report card, that is no "Guarantee" that I will last another 30 minutes!!
Blue skies, Mike!!!!!,

Especially in this day and age of Americans being involved in nothing except what party to go to and which ball game to watch on TV. You're in the club of people who have made a difference, and IF and when you do leave us you can go with your head held very high..; January 17, 2016 at 4:33 AM

Matt Bracken said...: Mike, you have given the last full measure. Nobody could have ever asked you to do more for the cause of preserving liberty in our diminishing republic.; January 17, 2016 at 7:25 AM

prambo said...: It is well that you are documenting your journey - as a true Patriot Mike, you serve as an example for many of us.

Never afraid to stand up and speak out: call BS exactly that, regardless of the source or politics; in the front lines both physically and intellectually.

But, you're signal accomplishment is the III% Catechism - it is a 21st Century ROE for honorable men.

I'll probably see you "up there" if I'm lucky.

Jeff Hoser said...: Mike, you deserve to be memorialized as much as anyone and more than most of us. When you stand before the big man with the book you can proudly avow, I Made A Difference !!; January 17, 2016 at 8:46 PM

For you know lots of the facts.; January 20, 2016 at 7:27 AM
RJM said...: Mike your life's journey has been a full one! Please do not count yourself out yet. If the Good Lord has blessed you with your talents, and Rosie, you can be sure that He is not done with you until He says so. You are an inspiration for so many of us. I imagine that you know that you have had an effect on America but perhaps you have not realized the extent of your influence. For us we have been very encouraged during these tragic times. No more Wacos indeed. Thank you for your writings and inspiration. BTW, the Fat Lady has not yet sung.
With warm Regards,

"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.
