  • Marine Veteran hauled away for Facebook posts

    JP, Eagle Keeper and Spencer sent us links to a story about Brandon J. Raub, a Marine veteran who has posting Paulian, and truther crap to his Facebook Wall which has the police in Chesterfield, Virginia a little worried about him, so they took him to get him a mental evaluation at a local hospital;

    A viewer sent 8News a video which shows Raub being detained on Thursday by FBI agents and Chesterfield County police officers. Raub’s mother, who was interviewed on the “Josh Tolley Show,” expressed her view of the situation: “He was questioned about why he was making those comments…he was very calm. I wasn’t there, so I’m going off what Brandon told me. He was not read his rights. I want that to be very clear, he was NOT read his rights. He was put in the back of a Chesterfield County police car and taken away.”


    Some folks are exercised     that a two-tour combat veteran has been carried off by the police under the direction of the FBI, and although I sympathize with the sentiment, I find it hard to feel much sympathy for him when he posts this kind of lunacy on his Facebook wall;

    On the other hand, I don’t see the FBI rounding up the James Holmes and the Jared Loughners – guys who have no military service – for their irrational behavior. I’m sure there are scads of them among the Paulians. This guy seems to have been begging for it, but nevertheless, there are plenty of civilians who have been doing the same, I have to guess. Raub has been getting hundreds of shares on his FB rantings. I wonder how many the FBI are investigating.

    Mostly, I own guns to protect my family and myself from people like Raub (and, well, zombies), so I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. And these are the same people who want to circumvent the Constitution to force us to vote for Ron Paul in November.

  • Firearms Inexperience May Have Saved Lives

    It’s being reported in the mainstream media that the casualty count in the Aurora shooting could have been much higher but for the fact that the shooter’s semi-auto rifle jammed. The Washington Post says authorities found a 100 round capacity drum magazine in the theater. While it doesn’t say whether the magazine was empty or how many unexpended rounds it contained, if it was not empty, it could well explain the malfunctioning of the rifle.

    Most of those familiar with military firearms know that drum magazines, while capable of providing a large ammunition capacity, have a long history of being prone to jamming more frequently than the more commonly used 20 or 30 round, straight-feed, box magazines. In fact, one of the main complaints about one of the most widely used weapons of WWII, the Russian PPSh-41 submachine gun, was the frequency with which its 71 round, drum magazine jammed during firefights. American troops had similar complaints about the less widely used Thompson submachine gun when equipped with a drum magazine.
    It is likely that the Aurora shooter was unfamiliar with this reality and was seeking maximum shooting capacity without having to reload, thus his selection of the 100 round, drum magazine. Fortunately for theater patrons who escaped being shot, the drum likely performed in accordance with its design’s reputation for unreliability.

    This magazine issue might have some legal bearing on the prosecution of the case if it can be shown he bought the drum magazine separate from the weapon, which could be construed to indicate he took additional, deliberate steps to achieve

  • The “false flags” of Colorado shooting

    I was sure that I was going to see Gordon Duff in Veterans Today declare that the theater shooting in Aurora was a Mossad false flag operation, but I was shocked to find nothing of the sort. Just some guy named Michael Shrimpton who said it was a false flag operation of something called DVD. I searched the article in vain several times and couldn’t find out who the hell DVD is, so it must be an inside thing over there. But he also suggested that it also mimicked North Korean intelligence operations, so I have to guess that DVD is something along those lines.

    Luckily, the commenters at VT took him to the cleaners for covering up for the Mossad;

    I have to wonder Michael if you’ve been sent to VT to destroy its reputation with all of your DVD crap. I think you know the Mossad did 911, the underwear bomber, the Madrid Bombing. Mumbai, 7/7 London and just about all terrorist attacks associated with Muslims. Karma is real, it’s time for you to do good and stop providing cover for the evil Israeli government. Perhaps the Israeli government is blackmailing you or has threatened you.

    OK, now I feel better. I though VT had lost it’s focus there for a minute.

    Former3c0 sends us a link from Natural News that he says several of his friends sent him on a subject with which we’re more familiar;

    The FBI, of course, which has a long history of setting up and staging similar attacks, then stopping them right before they happen. See four documented stories on these facts:

    As you soak all this in, remember that the FBI had admitted to setting up terror plots, providing the weapons and gear, staging the location of the bombings and even driving the vehicles to pull it off! This is not a conspiracy theory, it’s been admitted by the FBI right out in the open. Even the New York Times openly reports all this in stories like this one:

    Yeah, i removed the links they mentioned, you can go over there and read them, but apparently, they think that James Holmes was too stupid and poor to afford and operate all of this crap and it was the FBI that equipped him. All of the plots that the FBI hatched and then stopped were equipped with inert explosives and weapons, so how did this idiot Holmes defeat that aspect of the operation, exactly? Well, because the FBI trained and equipped him, apparently, so they could look good. Yeah, I’m sure.

    Just because we need an explanation for the terror of this shooting doesn’t mean we should just go around thinking up crazy-ass shit.

  • If Only…

    Personal preface: I don’t watch TV news or the talking heads so I don’t share Jonn’s frustrations about the coverage of the Aurora shooting. I assumed it would be crap and ignored it. And the anti-gun rhetoric was easily foreseeable and as easily dismissed.

    Nope! Events like Flight 93 and “Let’s Roll!” kept intruding. Or Mr. Williams decision to take action seems extraordinarily fitting.

    –

    So I’m thinking that guns were peripheral (NOT trivial!) elements in that theater. I’ll posit that what was missing was a Sheepdog?

    Here is how the sheep and the sheepdog think differently. The sheep pretend the wolf will never come, but the sheepdog lives for that day. After the attacks on September 11, 2001, most of the sheep, that is, most citizens in America said, “Thank God I wasn’t on one of those planes.” The sheepdogs, the warriors, said, “Dear God, I wish I could have been on one of those planes. Maybe I could have made a difference.” When you are truly transformed into a warrior and have truly invested yourself into warriorhood, you want to be there. You want to be able to make a difference.  Lt. Colonel Grossman

    If only there had been just one person with that mind set?

    YMMV

    Update: See Russ’s post above. I can’t/won’t disagree with his emphasis, but…

  • Oily Titz and her really bad legal advice

    The head Birther nutjob, Oily Titz, or Orly Taintz, or whatever, is giving really bad legal advice in an attempt to destroy the military careers of some more service members. Somehow she thinks that the Pentagon’s decision to allow military personnel to wear their uniforms at the gay pride event in San Diego this weekend also allows them to wear their uniforms at a protest at the Democrat National Convention this summer;

    Breaking news: members of the military can demonstrate in uniforms in front of the DNC convention against usurper Obama with forged papers

    Until now members of the military were not allowed to demonstrate in uniforms. Now this ban was lifted, when members of the US military were allowed to march in their uniforms in a gay pride parade.

    Here is a new line of attack: “American patriots against the usurper pride parade” in military uniforms. We need members of the military in their uniforms demonstrating in front of the DNC, RNC conventions and in front of the American Bar association convention in Chicago. We need signs “Proud Americans against the Usurper”. “End usurpation of the US Presidency, send Obama to prison” “Prison for Obama and accomplices for forgery”.

    Important: if members of the military can demonstrate in uniforms in gay pride parade, they can demonstrate in their uniforms in front of the DNC convention and demand prosecution of Obama for usurpation of the Presidency using forged papers.

    PS. If someone is not given permission to demonstrate in a uniform in American pride against the usurper parade, let me know, we will sue the military for the discrimination. what’s good for the goose, good for the gander.

    Yeah, Titz is a self-promoting shyster. Three officers have trashed their careers in her name when they refused to deploy to the wars until the president shows his birth certificate, and now she wants you to trash your career so she can lose your case when you protest at a political event in your uniform.

    Since I’m most familiar with the Army Regulation 670-1, that’s the one I’ll quote. I’m sure the other services have similar regulations;

    j. Wearing Army uniforms is prohibited in the following situations:
    (1) In connection with the furtherance of any political or commercial interests, or when engaged in off-duty civilian
    employment.
    (2) When participating in public speeches, interviews, picket lines, marches, rallies, or public demonstrations, except
    as authorized by competent authority.
    (3) When attending any meeting or event that is a function of, or is sponsored by, an extremist organization.
    (4) When wearing the uniform would bring discredit upon the Army.
    (5) When specifically prohibited by Army regulations.

    So, Orly Taintz doesn’t care about you or career, she wants you to martyr yourself for her and her intellectually stunted minions.

    ADDED: Someone sent us a copy of the letter that was meant for interim guidance pertaining to the wear of a military uniform in public from the Department of Defense;

  • Duff: the ultimate false flag operation

    Our favorite conspiracy theorist, Gordon Duff at Veterans Today discovers that John Allen Muhammad, the DC sniper, was actually a CIA plant sent on his killing spree with the full knowledge and support of the Federal government;

    Williams was a combat vet, fought in Desert Storm, 16 successful years in the military, real records of special schools, records the army lies about when asked but doesn’t disprove.

    This man was intelligent, a success, a perfect soldier, highly fit, top expert in martial arts, record of leadership ability, heading to a fat retirement and then he goes off the map and begins a life of “cover and deception,” a typical spy, a modern day “Michael Weston,” hardly a serial killer.

    Special schools? He was a mechanic. He scored “Expert” with the M16 rifle, but that means he hit 36 out of 40 shots, probably on 25 meter targets, because that’s usually how mechanics qualify. Not anything against mechanics, but they’re certainly not “Michael Westons”.

    It shows he became a “Muslim” only days before becoming a killer….

    Yeah, if by days, you mean years, because he converted to Islam in 1987 by all accounts.

    What was the fastest execution in American history was the killing of a government “hit man” operating under psychological programming.

    I am also certain he was very real US Special Forces trained, not saying that for amusement sake, had been “disappeared” from records as have more than a few of my contracting friends who operate with nuclear facility clearances or ties to “Delta.”

    Of course, because here at TAH, we know that there are no real mechanics in the military, the whole career field is only a cover for Delta operators. And, oh, yeah, the CIA was behind the anthrax letter bombs that killed postal workers in DC, but apparently postal workers is government code for “a former Chief of Staff for the Central Intelligence Agency, and anther friend jailed on bizarre charges whose last employment was Chief Legal Council for the Central Intelligence Agency.”

    “Men in Black” is a joke in comparison to things the US does every day. I have had two good friends jailed, both diplomats for the US.

    I’ve read the thing three times and I don’t see a reason why the CIA would launch their most skilled programmed killer on the DC area or why they’d kill postal workers with anthrax, I guess they don’t need a reason in Duff’s world.

    If you’re not stocked up on crazy after that, check out his defense of the theory that World War Two was a false flag operation, too. And how christianized Air Force cadets plotted to blow up Chicago with nukes they stole.

  • The Maroon Wall

    ROS sends us a link to Buzzfeed which posts pictures of “The Maroon Wall” – a human chain of Texas Aggie students formed to prevent Westboro protester from interrupting the funeral of LTC Roy Tisdale, who was killed at Fort Bragg a few weeks back.

    The Examiner reports;

    A group of more than 600 Aggies formed a “Maroon Wall,” as Texas Aggies surrounded the church Thursday, linked arm-in-arm, united to preserve the sanctity of a funeral for a fallen family member.

    Word of the planned showing of Aggie support may well have landed square in the face of the Westboro would-be protestors. “Maroon Wall” co-organizer Ryan Slezia said Thursday night, “as of now, I can confirm zero (Westboro protestors) actually showed up at the church or burial site.” This is a substantive victory against the Westboro protestors, who have “conducted over 30,000 pickets, in all 50 states, in over 500 cities and towns,” spending an estimated $250,000 per year on picketing….

    I guess that’s one thing that we can all agree upon.

  • The Nuge Says!

    This post – posted without electricity BTW, was actually prompted  by Jonn’s post even if somewhat off topic.

    NUGENT: Celebrate when good conquers evil

    There is so much good news that goes largely unreported that it makes me want to scream. As I write this, just a couple of days ago, a 14-year-old boy in Phoenix who was watching his three siblings at home shot a punk who busted through a door and pointed a gun at the young man.

    This is an incredibly wonderful news story that should be the lead story on the evening network news. It should be the front-page story in the New York Times. The Sunday morning talking heads should talk about it.

    But it won’t be covered by the media. Outside of the Phoenix area and this opinion piece in The Washington Times, this wonderful good-news story will not be heard or read. What a shame.

    I thought I was paranoid, but The Nuge explains why  I’m not.
