E-Mail 'The Survivalist's Odds 'n Sods:' To A Friend

1. My wife was part of the right to life march in DC and commented about the very poor media coverage. One station actually reported it as a pro abortion rally. Years ago I spent some time as a police officer and saw first hand the ridiculously poor media coverage. A good example was the Chicago riots in the late sixties. The media reported the riot as spontaneous even though the teletype had reported that all the oven cleaner within a 20 mile radius of Chicago had been sold out two weeks prior to the riot. The media also monitored teletype messages and was well aware of the situation. Oven cleaner has a high lye content and was projected at the security forces. Poor media coverage is nothing new.

2. Regarding the Role of Militias, It should be noted that the Second Amendment of the Constitution references a militia, not a standing army, which the founding fathers did not want. We have gone so far astray now that the third amendment has become moot. (Soldiers quartered in a house.)

3. We lived in the Chicago burbs in the sixties. My brother, then a teen was in the city (don’t remember why) with a group one evening, when the police told these nice white obviously middle-class kids to leave the downtown area several hours before the riot. There was no indication that there would be trouble, but they knew that something orchestrated was going to happen. They knew.

4. Not all Militia are good or well led, from some of the training that I have access to of the one near me I would deal with any I saw near me harshly as they would not be there to protect everyone but to take.
