The Three Percent concepts of Duty, Discernment, Honor, Principle and Discipline.

The Three Percent idea, the movement, the ideal, was designed to be a simple, powerful concept that could not be infiltrated or subjected to agents provocateurs like many organizations that I observed in the constitutional militia movement of the 90s. In this I was both correct and dead wrong, as I have been battling folks almost since the beginning who have misunderstood, deliberately or not, what the Three Percent was in history, what it is today and what its aims are for the future. . . These four principles -- moral strength, physical readiness, no first use of force and no targeting of innocents -- are the hallmarks of the Three Percent ideal. Anyone who cannot accept them as a self-imposed discipline in the fight to restore the Founders' Republic should find something else to do and cease calling themselves a "Three Percenter." "A Brief Three Percent Catechism -- A discipline not for the faint-hearted."

The recent (and continuing) debacle of the Malheur occupation and (especially) the poor performances of some claiming to be "Three Percenters" whose lack of judgment and discernment rivaled Chicken Little's and whose comprehension of the duty, honor and principle inherent in the Threeper concept was sadly lacking if not non-existent demands a further explication of the Three Percent Catechism. First and foremost is the recognition that the Three Percent are men and women bound by a philosophy consisting of Duty, Discernment, Honor, Principle and Discipline. Such words are used these days with little real comprehension of what they actually mean. Let us therefore go to the dictionary to refresh our memories, shall we? I have selected those portions of the definitions that apply to the Three Percent most particularly.

Duty is defined as "a moral or legal obligation or the force of moral obligation."

We are bound by our fidelity to liberty and the Founders Republic, by our oaths to protect and defend those concepts and the American people from any and all tyranny and conspiracy against their God-given, natural and inalienable rights. This is not negotiable. It is not honored in the breach. It is an intimate, almost holy, thing. It is not honored in the breach, nor is it subject to negotiation.

Discernment is "the ability to see and understand people, things, or situations clearly and intelligently."

Without discernment, it is all too easy to fall into stupidity and error, every bit of which is exploited by the enemies of liberty to deceive, discredit and defeat us in our duty.

Honor consists of "a keen sense of ethical conduct and integrity."

The Founders spoke of their "sacred honor." It is honor that binds us to our duty, to our principles, to the discipline required for discernment: to think through things before we act.

Principle is "a comprehensive and fundamental law, doctrine, or assumption; a rule or code of conduct; habitual devotion to right principles."

Our principles trace back to the Founding generation and to the distant past that informed their struggle for true liberty, for a republic of limits on government and backstopped by the rule of law, whether the threat was dictator, demagogue or Collectivist tyrant.

Finally, Discipline is " training that corrects, molds, or perfects the mental faculties or moral character; self-control; a rule or system of rules governing conduct or activity.

Without discipline, duty, discernment, honor and principle are constantly threatened with discredit and defeatism. Discipline is the glue that binds them, and us, all together. Remove any one of these essentials and the Three Percenter who embraces the error MUST fail. Indeed, without any one of them, he or she is no Three Percenter at all. Hold tight to them all, and we can fight and win against any tyranny or combination of tyrannies.

Organizing for Action Lying about Guns (Again)

OFA is appealing to ignorant emotion-driven followers who applaud Mark Zuckerberg sucking up to the power elites by using volunteer snitches to discriminate against gun ownership, as if that will do anything to stop a bad guy. They’re counting on being able to lie to people who don’t know any better. Calculated use of the word “legally” is all that’s needed to convince them we need more laws. These mouthpieces for the power elite know exactly what they’re doing, so don’t hold your breath waiting for them to do the right thing. And that makes their invitation to “Join the OFA Truth Team” all the more Orwellian, and all the more proof of the real truth that for “progressives,” every day is Opposite Day.

"Were We Used in Burns?"

In a sort of mixed reaction, most in the liberty movement hailed it as a success for liberty. The government backed down. Many clear heads that were on the ground were quick to point out that the Paynes, Blaine Coopers, Pete Santillis, the Ritzheimers, and others were dangerous at best. They pointed out the dangers of what they were promoting. Very detailed exposes showed what the backgrounds of these folks really were up to. Sadly, it was ignored by most. Whoever was behind these provocateurs took the “loss” in stride and made plans to continue on with the mission. Ryan Payne became a confidant of the Bundys, almost like another son. A son who pumped up the Bundys with the notion that they were the chosen ones to save the BLM land for the ranchers. Those who funded the provocateurs knew they were doing the right thing though and continued their funding. The mission remained to discredit ranchers in the west that had grazing leases from the BLM.

Judge dismisses charges against many named in '3-Percenters' lawsuit

A retired Jersey City police officer who sued the city last year alleging a clique of cops intimidated and harassed older officers suffered a blow in court when a judge dismissed charges against most of defendants named in the suit. Francis DeFazio, the retired officer, filed a whistle-blower suit in April 2014 against Jersey City, Public Safety Director James Shea, former police chiefs Tom Comey and Robert Cowan, and eight other police officials, saying he was transferred from the Emergency Services Unit because of his complaints of harassment and intimidation from an anti-government clique operating inside the ESU. On Jan. 20, Hudson County Superior Court Judge Francis B. Schultz dismissed the whistle-blower claims entirely. Three other counts — alleging the defendants violated state discrimination laws and inflicted emotional duress — were tossed for all but three defendants: Jersey City, Clyde Banks and Thomas Johnston.

Obamanoids consider violating the First Amendment to attack the Second Amendment. "U.S. eyes ways to toughen fight against domestic extremists."

"The U.S. Justice Department is considering legal changes to combat what it sees as a rising threat from domestic anti-government extremists, senior officials told Reuters, even as it steps up efforts to stop Islamic State-inspired attacks at home. . . But federal prosecutors tackling domestic extremists still lack an important legal tool they have used extensively in dozens of prosecutions against Islamic State-inspired suspects: a law that prohibits supporting designated terrorist groups.

Anniversary coming up: The systematic destruction of Manila and its inhabitants by the Japanese.

Bushido bushwah. With the American and Filipino liberators just on the other side of the Pasig River, the Japanese soldiers and sailors, and the Korean marines proceeded to go from one city block to another, burning and looting the homes, raping the women, and murdering as many citizens of Manila as they could, in biblical proportions. The Ermita, Malate, and Pasay districts were most greatly affected. The Japanese Military, in Manila, declared war on its civilian population. Conservative estimates state the the Manila Massacre, which took place in February, 1945, claimed the lives of over 111,000 civilians, an estimate of 35,000 more than either Nagasaki or Hiroshima.

And these are the crybabies who would disarm you and me if they could, to bring us all down to their helpless state, one Machiavelli properly deemed “contemptible” and “disgraceful.” Let me correct myself: They would demand other, rougher men to bend us to their will or destroy us — under force of arms that would make the Sullivans of the world wet themselves just thinking about.

That old Mandate of Heaven thing. "Behind China's woes, myth of competent autocrats."

Like receding tides that expose naked swimmers, decelerating growth in the Middle Kingdom today reveals the incompetence of its economic policymakers -- and the deeper causes of managerial incompetence throughout the system. Among the systemic causes of bad policies, the most obvious culprit is the dominance of politicians in economic policymaking. While there is no shortage of capable technocrats inside the party-state, those who have the final say, from members of the Standing Committee of the Politburo all the way down to the humble county party chiefs, are typical politicians who are more influenced by considerations of their personal political gains than those of economic efficiency.

The evil wizard of Oz has no regrets. A cautionary tale.

Former prime minister John Howard cites the introduction of gun control legislation in the aftermath of the Port Arthur massacre as one of the defining achievements of his time in office. Nearly 20 years on he reflects on that time.

"During the thirty-eight hour battle and forty-eight hours of escape and evasion, fighting with mortars, machine guns, recoilless rifles, small arms, and hand grenades, it was estimated that Adkins killed between 135 and 175 of the enemy while sustaining eighteen different wounds to his body."

Bennie Adkins turns 82 today. Exactly 50 years ago, Mr. Adkins was in the jungles of Vietnam. He returned to the United States a legend among Army Rangers, and almost a half-century later was awarded the Medal of Honor for personal acts of valor above and beyond the call of duty during the Vietnam War.
