Send in the Terminator: Are Police Allowed to Robot-Bomb Suspects? JWR’s Comment: This event in Dallas deserves some serious consideration and both public and legislative debate. Ditto for the use of a U.S. military drone (possibly an armed drone) in the recent lethal roadblock event in rural Oregon, where Lavoy Finicum was killed. It should also be remembered that it a was two police bombs that were used to end the leftist MOVE organization’s squatting and standoff in Philadelphia, back in 1985. There, police officers in a helicopter dropped two bombs on the roof of the row house in the …

Nearly One Million Illegal Aliens at Large – B.B. o o o SurvivalBlog reader T.J. wrote in: “Given the events of July 5th, 2016, regarding HRC and the FBI investigation, although the decision not to prosecute was a shock, given the history going all the way back to 1993, the Waco Siege, it shouldn’t have been. Sometimes, memories fade, but we need to remember the close association between the FBI, HRC, and her associates, Janet Reno and Jamie Gorelick, in particular, going back over two decades. As with other tyrants, there were plenty of times to stop them before greater, …

America Died At 11:00 ET 7/5/2016 – Excerpt: “The Rule of Law was officially burned and buried today on live television by the Director of the FBI. You therefore no longer have any moral requirement to adhere to same; your entire analysis must now rest on whether you are sufficiently afraid of being shot – and nothing more. America, as envisioned and fought for by the founders, died today at 11:00 AM ET, 7/5/2016. 240 years and one day from birth to death.” o o o FBI Rewrites Federal Law to Let Hillary Off the Hook – Excerpt: “The added …

Video: Has The Government Put You On A Terrorist Watchlist? o o o California governor signs stringent gun bills, vetoes others. The article begins: “[Democrat] Gov. Jerry Brown signed six stringent gun-control measures Friday that will require people to turn in high-capacity magazines and mandate background checks for ammunition sales, as California Democrats seek to strengthen gun laws that are already among the strictest in the nation.” The outright ban on 11+ round magazines flies in the face of American jurisprudence, because it has no grandfather clause, and even bans previously-grandfathered magazines. This represents an unconstitutional “taking” without compensation. And …

Paul Ryan shows his true colors: House Plans Vote on Guns Next Week.  JWR”s Comments:  It is obvious that the Republican Party leadership is preparing to cave in on this issue. Please contact your congressman immediately and insist: NO COMPROMISE on background checks! Remind them that the “No Fly” and “Selectee” lists are both horribly flawed and are based on rumors and innuendo–NOT any proper sort of due process! And please remind them that so-called “universal background checks” would destroy a key part of the Second Amendment: The anonymity of American gun owners!  Register brides, not gun owners! o o …

Long-time content contributor B.B. sent us this important link: The Six Things Obama Doesn’t Want You to Know About the Islamic State.  The next day,  B.B. also sent a link to this article:  ISIS Jihadists Caught This Week in California and Indiana. These articles serve to  confirm many of my conclusions about geopolitical trends. Reading them also made me feel justified in dedicating myself to writing at least five books in my new  Counter-Caliphate Chronicles novel series.  These are “survival manual dressed as fiction” stories that need to be told, to encourage freedom-loving Christians and Jews to prepare for the tumultuous …

Reader T.Z. flagged this: The price of LEDs is falling so fast it’s profitable to farm in a New Jersey nightclub. JWR Adds: We have a couple of 600-watt fan-cooled special plant growth spectrum Growpanel LED units here at the Rawles Ranch that we purchased from Ready Made Resources. These lights do a fantastic job of extending our vegetable growing season.  They can be used indoors, or inside a greenhouse. Just one caveat: The light that these throw is very intense and has an odd purplish-pink tinge, so they can be quite distracting if operated in a bedroom or living …
