Sorry for the long post. Please feel free to delete it and give it its own space.

Via Chicago Boyz via Western Rifle Shooters Association.

You see, before ’49, if you were a Crow or an Arapaho or a Cheyenne, you might sit on a ridge and watch the schooners crawl across the empty prairie, one at a time, perhaps only a solitary train in a week. You might trade with it, or take a slap at it for devilment, to run off a few horses, but mostly you’d leave it alone, since it was doing no harm, apart from reducing the grazing along the North Platte or the Arkansas, and thinning the game a little. But the Indian just had to turn his back and ride a few miles to be in clear country which the caravans never touched, the bison herds ran free, and game abounded. There was still plenty for everyone.

It was different after ’49. A hundred thousand folk need a power of meat and wood and fodder; they must forage wide on either side of the trail, in what to them is virgin country, and wreak havoc among the buffalo and smaller game; they must strip the grazing to its roots–and it ain’t in human nature for them to think, in all that vastness, what it may mean for those few figures sitting on the ridge over yonder…but if you are those figures, Crow or Arapaho or Cheyenne, watching the torrent that was once a trickle, seeing it despoil the Plains on which you depend for life, and guess that it’s going to get bigger by the year, and that what was once a novelty is now a menace–what d’you do? Precisely what the squire in his Leicestershire acres, or his New England meadow, would do if crowds of noisy, selfish foreigners began to trek through ruining the place. Remonstrate–and when that don’t work, because the intruders can’t see what damage they’re doing, and don’t care anyway–what d’you do then? I’ll tell you; Leicestershire squire, New England farmer, Cheyenne Dog-Soldier or Kiowa Hose-Cap, you see that there’s only one thing for it: you put your paint on.

  Good article – multiculturalism didn’t work out well for the American Indian – now did it?
  
  However, the difference with we pale faces are the traitors inside our gates – they are known as Progressives, Liberals, Socialists and so forth – and like the cockroach, they live inside our house and spread disease and filth.
  
  Yes, the time has come to take our guns off the wall, lock and load, and kill the dirty parasites!
  
  Yes, attack the government buildings, the media bunkers and the college campus structures – we grab the ruling class by the hair and drag them kicking and screaming out to the street and blow their brains out.
  
  Then we go against Islam…
  
  Yes, time for the WARPATH!

And think about it this way …

Every single one of those 21,995,000 gets out of bed in the morning with the express purpose of stopping at least some of those 12,329,000 from doing at least some of the things they need to do, or want to do.

  Having devalued our currency by 28% over a year the Reserve Bank doubles down.
  
  What this means to you is that the purchasing power of your dollar has declined 28% – that’s all your TV’s, new cars, etc. Construction goods that are imported will cost 28% more – the cost of building a new house will therefore increase and as a knock-on effect the price of a second hand houses will go up. However you will not get a raise to match or earn more interest on your money in the bank.
  
  I suppose somebody has to suffer so that our farmers don’t, and to pay for all the money created by Obama, the EU, etc.
  
  Now if we raised our OCR rate all those Japanese housewives (and Chinese crooks) would be rushing to invest in NZ and our dollar would climb and we’d all feel wealthy again as imported goods became cheaper etc., companies would do better, salaries would rise and we could afford the more expensive milk.
  
  On another tack, why are we cutting our rate just as the Fed is prevaricating about raising theirs? This will triple down on our “rock star” success.

From Remus:
http://www.woodpilereport.com/
‘Denninger on Net Neutrality – At the core of the problem is one little company called Netflix that is responsible for more than a quarter of all traffic on the Internet during the evening hours. And that company is hell-bent and determined to not pay for the load that it presents to the end-attachment points or how it concentrates that load, both of which break the models that the ISPs use to build their networks… The reality of any so-called neutrality mandate is that it forbids an ISP from identifying companies that try to shift their network costs on others and reflecting it back on the originating party by either asking them to pay up or demoting their traffic so it does not present an abnormal flow pattern within their design parameters.’

So….those of us who don’t use streaming services are slowed down and pay through the nose for new infrastructure, effectively subsidising those who do

  I’ve had this argument with plenty of people about our new NBN.
  
  I asked what was wrong with the old service. Too slow I’m told. I asked what percentage of people needed the faster service. Not many it turns out.
  
  Now, so that inner city screen addicts can divorce themselves more effectively from the world, I pay vastly more for an I.S. that’s just as shitty as it ever was, and I get to pay the taxes to build the new one I’ll never have access to as well.
  
  Just one more thing for me to keep in mind when the lights go out and hard choices have to be made.

Women ready for combat infantry?Not just yet-

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3227924/Marine-Corps-test-women-combat-roles-drop-out.html

From the comments section-

“Nope. Three-fourths of women 236/358 failed ITB–a course that *98 percent* of men graduate from. None of 29 women completed IOC. 107 out of 109 women failed Ranger School (one is still enrolled, having been recycled 3 times). All women failed everything twice. 3 were allowed to start the whole course over again. It took them 4 months to finish a 2-month course. So “no” to the false equivalence–men are not even remotely failing at the same rate. Simply pretending there are no physical differences between men and women is delusional. Rainbows and unicorns.”

No one seems to be taking into account that even if one finishes Ranger School,it’s not a one and done thing.That same level of readiness must be maintained for the long haul.So a 120lb female manages to make it through and become a Ranger,will she still be a Ranger 4-5-6 years on?Doubtful.

  It’s clear from history that Europe attempted suicide in WW I – the losses on all sides of a generation of young men proved to be the demographic Rubicon – WW II completed the suicide of Europe.
  
  I doubt Europe, as we have known it, will exist by 2050.

In an Open House or two ago I noted that someone was prosecuted in Blighty for downloading a file called “The Al Qaeda Manual” from the US DoJ servers. The British Plod asked the DoJ to remove it from their servers. The DoJ cocked a deaf’un.

Now it looks as though the same is happening again. See this:

The guy in question may well be a wrong’un, but please let’s convict him on the basis of provable terrorism rather than the fantasy of a cave in the Tora Bora or wherever it was.

I’ve made a personal decision. After I began to speak openly with the people in my area about islamic immigration and the serious threat it presents to western civilisation I was actually surprised to find that the vast majority of people absolutely agreed with me.

However, during the conversation they began to speak in hushed tones so as not to be overheard “being racist”.

Honest polls have proved this, even in the big cities. The average man on the street doesn’t want more (if any) muslims in this country. That said, it is also clear that most of our media has been utterly hijacked by progressive globalists.

Personally I am going to make a small change in my life. Every shirt I wear henceforth is going to bear the crusader shield, either as it’s central design or as an addition. I will be forwarding this idea on the Bolt blog and anywhere else I can.

At first it will probably be assumed by most that I’m a rugby fan, but the more people I can get to do this, the clearer it will be just by walking down the street that the people of my town, my state and my nation stand against the threat of islamic conquest.

I’m also going to try to find a good source to bulk buy shirts and patches so I’m able to give them away to anyone who would wear them in the spirit of the crusaders.
