Thanks, and a Message

First I want to thank the folks who’ve donated to Coastal PATCOM. And a special thank you goes out to the donor who’d rather remain anonymous and is sending me $150 so I can get my CDL “right damn now”.

Been all over the place today, in both the physical and the cyber world… I’m just plain wore out tired. But I did manage to do a bit of reading in a book YeOldFurt sent my way, Paul Revere’s Ride. From there comes the message, which is directed toward all the III Percent, Patriots, Preppers, “Freefor”, etc.

The revolutionary movement in Boston was not small, tightly controlled, and hierarchical. It was large, open, diverse, complex and pluralistic, a world of many circles.

Which is exactly where we are today. We will not get anywhere bickering amongst ourselves, jockeying for position, flinging arrows to and fro… Yes, we do need to be wary, and question everything. We do need to determine what motives some operate under. But above all, we need to unite. Quarreling over minutia will do nothing more than drive the wedges started by “Opfor” (opposing forces, government) ever deeper, further fracturing us. Divide and conquer.

Paul Revere built bridges. His role in the American Revolution went far beyond the “midnight ride”. He was a uniter, and an inspiration to those who would otherwise  have been bickering amongst themselves over irrelevant details. He convinced the III Percent of his day, those gallant men who we’ve aspired to emulate,  to set aside petty differences in favor of focusing on the big picture. Liberty.

They set aside those small differences and pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to each other that they might stand up to the overwhelming force of the British Empire, and secure Freedom for themselves and their progeny. We are now standing exactly where they were 236 years ago. Our “Intolerable Acts” have come in the form of the “patriot act”, Obamacare, the NDAA…

We are regulated and restricted to the point of slavery. Unless we join together and do something NOW, there will be nothing left for us to rebuild. The Sons of Liberty have taken on a new form, and that form is PATCOM. We are pledging our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor to the cause of Liberty. Many folks who are unable to attend are supporting us through their donations of money and raffle items. Those who are attending are sacrificing their time and treasure for a greater cause. With each PATCOM held, we grow stronger. We grow more confident. And more importantly, we grow closer together. That is the key to our future as a people and a nation. We can no longer sit passively by while we are raped and pillaged by a hostile government who no longer represents the People. “The answer to 1984 is 1776″. The time to act is now.

Thanks to Richard for the graphic.
