Independence Day

Happy Independence day! How many people in the USA today even know (or care) what July 4th is all about? When will they change the name to hide the true meaning of the holiday? How long before Independence Day becomes a victim to political correctness, ethnic diversity or some other form of socialist cleansing? The July 4th holiday, celebrating our independence from an oppressive foreign power many years ago, follows the recent news story of a 95 year old, wheel chair ridden, woman being patted down by the TSA for potentially hiding explosives in her Depends™. Rotten terrorist grandmothers, I hate them the most. This July 4th holiday also follows the news that the Office of Veterans Affairs (VA) has prohibited the use of the words God, Jesus, etc in the funeral services of fallen veterans or to console their loved ones, because they are too overtly religious. These are the men who died for religious freedom as much as any other right.

Statistics say that 18 veterans per day are committing suicide but we are too fixated on the Casey Anthony trial to even notice. Veterans of all ages and wars are among the highest unemployed. Thousands are sleeping in boxes or shelters across our “GREAT” nation, but who cares? Hey did you see the news about Hillary and Lady GaGa? Now that’s newsworthy. And speaking of Hillary, did you know she is working arm in arm with the globalists and the UN to pass a treaty that will annul our constitutionally guaranteed right to keep and bear arms? Meanwhile, flashing back to the real news: What would Lady Diana look like if she were still alive today? Really, that’s news worth spending air time on?
I hope that you sleep better at nights than I do because I fear that by next year Independence itself may be prohibited as being too discriminatory or too American. Aren’t you ashamed that you live in freedom while others live under tyranny? Some people in our government think you should feel that way. I also hope that you remember those who have fought and died for your freedom. Say a prayer for them, say God Bless them! If you see a man or woman in a military uniform, thank them for their service. Fly your flag this holiday and cherish your independence while you still have it, or what little bit is left of it.

Slick Stabbers

OK lets take a look at two very sweet knives. I have been remiss in writing this blog, somehow getting sidetracked. The knives are recent kogatana made for me by Gary Bradburn. Traditionally kogatana are the tiny, flimsy, useless side knives housed in the saya (scabbard) of a katana or wakizashi. I asked Gary to make me one as a discreet carry knife but stout enough for actual defense use. He ground the prototype with a chisel format but was not happy with it. (This is the one riding on my Bug Out Bag.) The next two came with double bevel grinds and nice clay tempered blade with hamon.

A knife this size is easily carried without creating waves of fear in the general public. There are many general uses for it besides its intended personal defense use. The blade is substantial despite being only 0.145 inches thick. Since they are each custom made the blade lengths vary. One is 4.5 inches and the other is 5 inches. The slender blades are natural piercing weapons but, as you can imagine, no slouch at slicing. The graceful curvature gives the blades the look of a miniature katana. The tsuka (handles) are full tang, copper covered, and then wrapped in epoxy saturated cord. Beneath the tsuka ito wrapping Gary has placed a high quality menuki. The menuki are decorative, but they also create a nice palm swell. Each knife is sheathed in a custom fit kydex sheath with nylon belt loop. Check out Gary’s new website and contact him if you are interested in ordering a custom Japanese style knife. You will not be disappointed that you did. http://www.bradburncustomknives.com/

Dark Side of "Democracy"

According to the purveyors of the New World Order, including our president, this is what Democracy now looks like. Somehow I never envisioned it this way. Foolishly I thought it was represented by voting booths and free elections. In my simple mind democracy was filled with more hope and fewer demons. There is good reason why Africa is called the Dark Continent. Zimbabwe, Rhodesia, Somalia, the Congo, Angola, Ivory Coast, Rwanda, by whatever name you choose, they all conjure up the same images of butchery, rape, and genocidal massacres. The symbols of African Democracy are the machete and the RPG. The color of African Democracy is red, BLOOD RED. These are the types of people our administration is supporting. Now "Democracy has erupted in the Mid-East. Can you tell the Yeman rebels from the Rawandan or Libyan rebels? I hope the first family enjoys their taxpayer paid safari to the dark continent.

Take close look at the photos sometime on the internet and the news. How many American made arms do you see these paragons of democracy carrrying versus Russian and Chinese AKs? Either way it is terrorism sponsored by the world's major players.
