Negroes and the Gun: Non-violent Winchesters and the fine art of concealed carry in the modern civil rights movement

Methinks there is something to be learned here...

"These people not only owned guns and fired them in self-defense. They also carried guns in defiance of discretionary permitting schemes of the type that said a bombing at Martin Luther King’s home did not constitute good cause for granting him a permit to carry a gun.

There are hints in the culture that carrying concealed weapons in defiance of state ‘authority’ was a minor art form. The delta activist T.R.M. Howard had a secret compartment built into his car. Fannie Lou Hamer’s mother carried a gun concealed in a bucket. Medgar Evers hid his pistol in a driver’s seat pillow. Others capitalized on the practice of church folk to carry around their Bibles in big leather covers, and stuffed guns in with the jumble of pens and papers.

But the prize for minimalist creativity goes to the lyrically named Sweets Turnbow, whose husband Hartman’s statement about ‘non-nonviolence’ I mentioned in my first post. At the Democratic Convention in Atlantic City, Sweets Turnbow strolled the venues casually carrying a brown paper bag. It looked like she was toting her lunch. Years later, those who knew the truth would tell that inside the bag was a loaded pistol and how ‘Sweets never went anyplace without her brown paper bag and gun.’ It turns out this was a variation on the method employed by her husband Hartman, about whom Julian Bond reported, ‘It’s funny to see a man dressed like a farmer, with a briefcase. And he opens the briefcase and nothing’s in it but an army automatic.’

Lew Rockwell Publishes a New Book: Fascism vs. Capitalism

"Big government and big weapons, security, pharma, food, energy, and other companies are ensconced in happy union. We also see the police state, militarism, surveillance, wars, and propaganda, as well as the demonization of dissidents that characterizes fascism. We also have the welfare state.

Is all lost? Of course not. We have always seen a struggle between power and market, as Murray Rothbard put it. And we have the truths of capitalism and freedom on our side. We also have one additional tool: Lew Rockwell’s latest book, Fascism vs. Capitalism. This extraordinary work reflects Lew’s long interest in the fascist problem, and the great anti-fascist heroes of our movement, from Mises and Rothbard to Hazlitt and Ron Paul."

When Is It Okay to Steal a Cow?

When Is It Okay to Steal a Cow?: "It’s bitter cold outside and the winter storm has lasted for days. The snow is two feet high and getting worse. It’s 1872 and you are living in a dugout, living off small pieces of bread and potatoes, unsure when the weather will settle down. You also have a baby to feed.

Curious about what it looks like outside, you finally manage to pry open the front door. Off in the distance you see what appears to be a herd of cattle. But they are not moving. Maybe they are dead, frozen as anything would be. But then why are they standing?"

The Bubble

Coming this Fall (2012), The Bubble asks the experts who predicted the current recession, “What happened and why?” Diving deep into the true causes of the financial crisis, renowned economists, investors and business leaders explain what America is facing if we don't learn from our past mistakes. The film poses the question: “Is the economy really improving or are we just blowing up another Bubble?”

Over the past 99 years the Fed (Federal Reserve) has had repeated changes in personnel, it has operated under both political parties, it has had numerous experiments in monetary philosophy, it has had almost one hundred revisions to its charter, it has overseen the development of countless new formulas and techniques, and after countless opportunities to work out mere procedural flaws - the system seems to have proven itself doomed to failure.

Material Progress and the American Spirit

Jeffrey Tucker · May 4, 2012

The 1968 epic Planet of the Apes ends with Taylor the astronaut, played by Charlton Heston, coming upon the Statue of Liberty, except that it is buried in beach sand to the chest and covered in seaweed. Only then does he realize that this strange planet is actually his own planet Earth and that he lives now in the grim future.

 

It’s a chilling scene for what it symbolizes: liberty buried, neglected, forgotten.

I sometimes feel that way when I read back in time to the writings of Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine. Such passion they had for the thing that is so neglected today! We don’t know liberty as they dreamed of it.

I just finished reading Benjamin Franklin’s “Information to Those Who Would Remove to America,” published in French and English in Paris, 1784. This was written before the U.S. Constitution while we were still under the Articles of Confederation, which he praises for giving no effective powers to the government.

Greenspan Rails Against the Federal Reserve in 1966 - Proof that Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutly

Let us be clear up front, Pulse 02DA does not favor a gold standard, but we do favor allowing the free market to choose its own currency.

Therefore, in order to give honest money (voluntary trade) a fair shake, and to give people an idea of what alternative currency is capable of when it is not being manipulated by banksters or the state - and in order to offset much of the current disinformation coming from the MSM - we give you the below article as well as the additional resources at the bottom of this blog.

The accompanying photos, corresponding texts, and recommended reading material (at the bottom of the article) are not in the original, these are supplements provided by W&C for our readers. After all, one can not be a good Warrior nor Capitalist without understanding what money is and what its proper function in society is.

By, Alan Greenspan (1966)

An almost hysterical antagonism toward the gold standard is one issue which unites statists of all persuasions. They seem to sense - perhaps more clearly and subtly than many consistent defenders of laissez-faire - that gold and economic freedom are inseparable, that the gold standard is an instrument of laissez-faire and that each implies and requires the other.

Concise and to the point, Michael has a way of explaining economic and monetary facts to the reader in a way that leaves your perception of the reality that is money (fair or fiat) as clear as crystal.

Obama: Everyone is Better off When the Government Regulates You

In the article Obama on Auto-Defrosting Refrigerators, Jeffrey Tucker and his good friends at the Mises Blog and LvMI's Facebook rip apart Obama's mendacious propaganda:

Bourbon for Breakfast: Living Outside the Statist Quo

A truly compelling book that certainly makes you reconsider how you have been trained to think. A great addition to the "Wall of Socialization" that we address in the Strategic Manual under the chapter entitled Recognizing Reality - "Breaking the Matrix."
