Folks will want to be especially alert on the 4th of July this year for a variety of reasons. Hopefully, it will just be a peaceful day of barbecues, parades, and fireworks, but there are some current events that you should consider before making plans to be out there with the crowds.
While there are no specific or credible immediate threats, with all the craziness going on in our country lately, it pays to be vigilant on the 4th of July. Personally, I tend to think that at some point in the not-so-distant future, things are going to boil over. Will it be this week during the Independence Day celebrations? I have absolutely no idea, but I’m not taking any chances.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans have been protesting.
This past weekend, hundreds of thousands of Americans protested the United States’ immigration policies in cities across the country.
More than 750 “Families Belong Together” marches took place in all 50 US states and Twitter showed sister demonstrations in London, Munich, Paris, Hamburg, Tokyo, and others cities around the globe. (source)
Most of the protests were uneventful and peaceful. And it’s important to remember that even if you disagree with the reasons behind the protest, it is absolutely the right of the people and the American way. But in some places, things got ugly. Other concurrent protests were going on, counterprotesters showed up, and what began as peaceful events turned into riots.
Most notably, in Portland, Oregon, things really escalated.
Last week, protesters blocked access to the ICE building, effectively shutting it down. They pitched tents and “occupied” the facility.
DHS formed a line to stop the demonstrators and then officers in riot gear began to remove the protesters. Arrests were made and tents were taken down. (source) Protesters have vowed to return.
Then on the weekend, the Patriot Prayer group staged a demonstration in Portland. The group is generally described as a “far-right” group by the mainstream media. Their Facebook page describes their mission:
“Patriot prayer is about using the power of love and prayer to fight the corruption both in the government and citizen levels that seek to gain power through division and deception.” (source)
During their demonstration, Patriot Prayer founder Joey Gibson says they were “charged” by Antifa counter-protesters, which caused police to revoke their permit to protest and declare the event a riot. A video shows that the event devolved into extreme violence.
With tensions about immigration high and violent revolution against the current administration threatened, it isn’t a stretch of the imagination to suspect that some rather heated Independence Day gatherings could be possible. In fact, a couple of planned events have already made the headlines.
Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon has called for protests on the 4th.
This is Fourth of July week and I’m calling it ‘First Amendment Fourth’ where we can get out and talk about families and where they belong…I want you to know that as long as I have the honor to represent you, there is zero chance we are going to stop speaking out against these injustices and zero chance we will stop pushing back against the callous treatment of families in America and we will keep pushing back until all families have a safe haven in America. (source)
And it isn’t just immigration that folks are planning to protest. In Chicago, Father Michael Pfleger, a Catholic priest, is rallying his followers for an anti-gun protest that will shut down the busy Dan Ryan Expressway on the weekend following Independence Day. He believes the act of civil disobedience is necessary to bring awareness to his demands for “resources for communities, national common sense gun laws, jobs, excellent schools and economic development.”
Also on the weekend following the 4th, protests are planned outside NYC’s Trump Tower.
As I’ve written before, Americans have been encouraged to hate and fear one another, so it’s no surprise that this is starting to bubble over.
A man connected to al Qaeda was just arrested for his violent 4th of July plans.
The FBI has arrested Demetrius Nathaniel Pitts, also known as Abdur Raheem Rahfeeq, for planning an explosion during a Cleveland, Ohio 4th of July parade. Pitts has ties to al Qaeda and an extensive criminal background. He has been charged with “attempted material support of a foreign terrorist organization.” (source)
Federal authorities say they’ve arrested a man who talked about setting off a bomb at a Fourth of July parade in Cleveland and attacking people watching fireworks.
Officials said Monday that the man who’s an American citizen often expressed his support for al-Qaida and said he wanted to kill members of the U.S. military…Authorities have charged Demetrius Pitts with attempted support of a terrorist organization…FBI Special Agent Stephen Anthony says Pitts scouted out locations this past week for a site to attack in downtown Cleveland.
Anthony says it’s not clear how close Pitts was to carrying out his threats, but he says authorities couldn’t sit back and wait. (source)
It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to wonder whether Pitts is the only guy who has considered something like this.
Every year, Americans are warned of the potential of attacks.
No other day is more symbolic of the United States than the 4th of July, and an enemy of the country would take pleasure in selecting that particular day to inflict death and terror. Not only is there the symbolism, but there’s also plenty of opportunities, what with parades, fireworks, and festivities.
We can’t forget that the United States has really stirred up foreign relations of late, and have provoked many different countries for a variety of reasons, not the least of which are trade wars and sanctions.
The FBI, Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center generally recommend heightened security due to the potential threats to Independence Day celebrations.
As well, the US State Department has updated a “Worldwide Caution” for American travelers. It reads:
As terrorist attacks, political violence (including demonstrations), criminal activities, and other security incidents often take place without any warning, U.S. citizens are strongly encouraged to maintain a high level of vigilance and practice good situational awareness when traveling abroad…
…U.S. government facilities worldwide remain in a heightened state of alert. These facilities may temporarily close or periodically suspend public services to assess their security posture. In those instances, U.S. embassies and consulates will make every effort to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens. U.S. citizens abroad are urged to monitor the local news and maintain contact with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
Terrorist groups including ISIS, al-Qa’ida, their associates, and those inspired by such organizations, are intent on attacking U.S. citizens wherever they are. Extremists may use conventional or non-conventional weapons to target U.S. government and private interests. Terrorists are increasingly using less sophisticated methods, including the use of edged weapons, pistols, and vehicles as weapons, to effectively target crowds. Extremists increasingly aim to assault “soft” targets, such as:
- high-profile public events (sporting contests, political rallies, demonstrations, holiday events, celebratory gatherings, etc.)
- hotels, clubs, and restaurants
- places of worship
- schools
- parks
- shopping malls and markets
- tourism infrastructure
- public transportation systems
- airports
In multiple regions, terrorists, guerrilla groups, and criminals seek to kidnap U.S. citizens to finance their operations or for political purposes. The Department also remains concerned that terrorists could again seek to down aircraft using concealed explosives or hijack commercial flights. (source)
Some 4th of July safety tips
Of course, I don’t believe the threat of terrorism and riots means we need to stop living our lives and should hide out in our bunkers. Life is meant to be enjoyed and experienced. However, when it seems like the threat level could be higher than usual, we might need to adjust our plans.
Here are a few tips to keep the ones you love safe this Independence Day.
- Avoid large crowds. Or as a terrorist would call it, “target-rich environments.” This may not be the best year to go to huge fireworks displays and Independence Day extravaganzas in larger cities. Instead of going to the huge metropolitan events, see what’s going on in the small towns.
- Hang out near the edges. If you feel you must join a large crowd, hang around the periphery. The last thing you want to do is get trapped in the middle of a crowd that could panic. This leads to the risk of being trapped or trampled as you try to make your escape. (See stories from the audience at the Vegas shooting.)
- Know where the exits are. Again, if you are in a crowd at a concert or other event, make sure you know where the exits are and always have a plan to make a hasty retreat.
- Be aware. Watch for behaviors or things that are out of place. Do you see some dude in a parka when it’s 105 degrees outside? Is there something strange going on? Is that noise fireworks, gunshots, or explosives? Keep your eyes open.
- Pay attention. Don’t be one of those people who are completely oblivious to their surroundings. You don’t want to be glued to your phone or intoxicated when you are in a place that could potentially be risky.
- Consider having a get-together at home. Maybe this is the year to have a party at home for the people you love, complete with a barbecue, sparklers, and maybe your own fireworks show.
- Find another place to watch fireworks. My daughter and I found a parking lot that is uphill (by several miles) from the park with the public fireworks. We plan to take snacks and go watch from the top of the mountain.
Being a prepper doesn’t mean that you can’t have fun or that you have to forsake all things popular culture. It just means you need to be vigilant while doing so.

Afraid? No. But wary as hell regarding parts of the government that are losing their power. They will kill more of us soon there is no doubt.
Menzo, I’m back at the BOL for the next 2 weeks. IF anything happens on the 4th at least I’m in the right place ALREADY. Let the f#$%ers bring it. In my area if they try that shit they’ll ‘disappear’.

DENMARK HAS A NEW PLAN TO MAKE MUSLIM BABIES ACT LIKE WHITES
IT WONT WORK
EDUCATION HAS NO EFFECT ON IQ AND THE RACES HAVE DIFFERENT AVERAGE IQs
YOU CANT MAKE NON WHITES WHITE
Staying home, huddled in a bunker sounds like a good option. I have seen lots of fireworks already over the years. They all look about the same after 7 decades.
As a rule I avoid crowds, period.
I don’t like most people and if weren’t
for my wife, I’d be a hermit.
Some of my neighbors fire off illegal
fireworks as good as any you’d see at
public shows. I can kick back and slam
down brewskies, which you cannot do in public
places here.
I’m getting set up to make black powder for my
Parrot rifle(3 inch bore), all my synthetic stuff
is no good, too old.
The years I used to fire it people in town could
hear it. The past 4th firings, the pictures on the wall
of my house fell down.
Stay home and enjoy the 4th.
IM GOING TO BURN THE FUCKING FLAG ON THE 4TH OF JULY

CUCKS
“I SEEM TO HAVE SOME NEGATIVE EMOTIONS I CANT SHAKE”
I encourage you to take it out on 535 people in Washington DC.
I’d start with Chuck you Schumer and N Pelosi.
I’d bet you are a good shot. Try a 0.50 Cal Barett.
Good for 1500 meters.
Eisen is having one of his fits today. he got out of his straight jacket again and needs to be hosed down.
+white? +what the heck does that mean? +only white people can be patriots?
YES DILBERT.
ONLY THE CHINESE CAN BE CHINESE
ONLY MEXICANS CAN BE MEXICAN
ONLY WHITE PEOPLE OF NORTHWESTERN EUROPEAN DESCENT CAN BE AMERICANS
AMERICANS ARE A DISTINCT PEOPLE WITH A DISTINCT CULTURE
DONT BELIEVE ME?????? WHITE MEN ARE THE ONLY GROUP THAT SUPPORTS FREE SPEECH GUNS AND CAPITALISM. JUST LET THAT FUCKING SINK IN.
YOU BOOMER FREAKS, DIVERSITY IS THE PRIMARY REASON FOR WARS SINCE TIME IMMEMORIAL
NOW WE ACCENTUATE ALL THE PRIMARY FAULT LINES IN SOCIETY THINKING IT WILL BE DIFFERENT THIS TIME
IT WONT. DO YOU SEE ANY FUCKING ASSIMILATION IN THIS COUNTRY?????????????
THIS WAS SHOVED ON US ALL BY THE GREATEST GENERATION
IT STARTED WITH BUSSING AND WENT WILD AS WEEDS AFTER THAT
More broadly, read the Protestant Work Ethic by Weber, the Road to Serfdom and best, the Wealth of Nations to see why the European dna is special.
Did you go to public school, in this country?
The takeover from within, of Western Civilization, did’nt begin recently.
The traitor, Woodrow Wilson was the first to openly sell out America. One his watch, was when the takeover from within began.
Then move forward to the next traitor, FDR, ensured that communism could entrench itself in America. While, it was the WW2 generation, who made the world safe for communism, and sold Western Civilization to the cretins who want the White race dead.
It was the traitor Harry Truman who used bayonets to enforce the end of freedom of association for White people.
The traitor LBJ signed the immigration act, that opened the borders of America to the flood of third world invasion. LBJ also ensured that you would be held liable for his “great society”, and that you would be “culturally enriched”, whether you liked it or not.
The “boomers” who were born in the late 40’s to early 50’s, were indoctrinated by the marxists that FDR welcomed in the door.
Blaming the readers of this forum for the demise of America, and Western Civilization, is foolish.
America has been dead for a century. What you see now, are the carrion feasting on the carcass.
I have some non-white immigrant neighbors, they are very smart people, and I trust them with my life,and they trust me. I even have them prepping. And they aren’t falling for the liberal party line.
They still own a family home in their native country. The street is walled, and bears bulletin holes from an infamous Muslim mass attack and murder. They have become American citizens just a couple years ago.
I hear you and think you are nuts.
It’s not about race, it’s a war of ideology. And your ideology is Neolithic. I married the smartest woman I ever met. As a result I have some incredibly smart children, who are gifts to this nation and mankind. I can’t even speak to what they are contributing to your world and even your security, all unseen.
I marvel at the bible stories of the Flood, it speaks directly to a battle between good (God) and evil being fought through genetics. Noah wasn’t a perfect man, he was a man perfect in his generations. I have concluded the single most important decision most humans will make, is who is your mate, and what will your children become as a result of your choice.
We are seeing the another generation in my family starting. And it is awesome. I have a grandson and granddaughter or two that that could take mankind to the stars. Or perhaps be the best damn plumber on the planet…..
Oh my God these babies are brilliant. And Grandpa is teaching them….. Calculus.
PTPO,
When the shtf, people will be tribal, so Eisenkreutz is correct.

You make your own BP? My great grandfather made his own. Today it isn’t in chemistry books. When I was in High school chemistry, it was required we memorize the formula.
FOR DECADES THE POLITICAL CLASS HAS STOKED IDENTITY POLITICS TO GET THEIR PRECIOUS FUCKING VOTES.
NOW FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON THE TRIBALISM HAS BOILED OVER INTO VIOLENCE.
ASSHOLE BABY BOOMERS.
I TRAIN TO FIGHT EVERY DAY. I KNOW ITS COMING TO MY DOORSTEP EVENTUALLY.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR DESTROYING MY QUIET LITTLE TOWN, SHIT EATING BOOMER RATS.
You can take your boomer bias and shove it. There’s probably a lot of room up in there.
Get this Snowflakes: If you LOVE America, RUN AWAY FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF ANTI-AMERICAN, POS TRATORS. HERE IS THE NEW DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM BELOW. PASS THIS ON.
Democrats go to war with civilization, call for ABOLISHING borders, …
07-02-2018 • naturalnews.com by Mike Adams
Now, they’ve gone “full retard,” as the saying goes, and their mindless minions are marching nationwide, demanding:
Abolishing all U.S. borders and welcoming an unlimited tidal wave of illegals to flood the country.
Abolishing all U.S. prisons and releasing violent criminal felons into the streets of America.
Abolishing all private-sector businesses and implementing a centrally-planned, government-run fascist economy to control everything.
This is now the position of the Left. The party that once stood for civil liberties now stands for the complete invasion and overrunning of the United States of America. The Democrat platform is, essentially, the platform of war against America.
@Eisen: Man, you are an idiot. When a fight is coming to your doorstep you have already lost. Read some manuals on military tactics and be respectful to posters here: Stop typing in CAPS!
it’ll be peaceful out here in the middle of no where. fists and sticks are one thing, when the bullets start flying that’s another. 110 degree desert heat makes riots very short.
EVEN MONTANA IS BEING OVERRUN WITH NON WHITES
I know Montana. It is no different than any other state in that city-dwellers are the problem. Our patriot group has many ethnicities, but they are all solid Americans with traditional values. All families (as in 100%) home-school. Many home-church.
Eisenkreutz, if you looked at the election data you would realize that the 5 largest cities in Montana (and the other states) are the problem. Skin color is not. It is the impotent Big-Brother-dependent city-dwellers with no life skills. Their only tool is the government. When the SHTF the demographics (and population) will change very quickly, even in Montana.
Ok the protesters who shut down the ICE location. Why didn’t the Feds come and shut down and arrest those lawbreakers? I think its because the Government want a excuse to Declare Martial Law.Trump is far better than Hellery . However I don’t trust Trump. and he certainly is in cahoots with the military. I still believe it all is a Dog & pony Show. A circus and there are several Rings and Ringmasters.
The local Mayor refused to allow local law enforcement resources to break up the siege of the ICE building in Portland, so the FEDS were forced to bring in Federal Law Enforcement to clear their camps.
No opinion on any of your other statements, but that’s what happened at the Portland ICE facility.
Because the illegals are Democrat illegal voters. Imagine how many illegal aliens voted for Hillary in the last election? Im thinking about 10 Million votes, and many voted 3 and 4 times as tgeyvtravel city to city on shuttle busses sponsored by George Soros. Americas #1 Enemy. There are prob about 30-40 million illegals right now in the US. Anybody got any hard data in that?
BTW/ Most every HOLIDAY In the US is a Fraud. And most every Holiday is hijacked by the US military as a phony excuse to thank the troops that props up our fascist government of Scoundrel tyrants and Wallstreet Corporations.
“Hello, This is Luwanda Brown from Huntsvill Alabama here in Afghistan wishing Merry Christmas to her family back home, while Luwanda is over here committing Genocide and murder on regular nationals/people trying to protect themselves and their country from the rape and pillage of the illegal invaders including Luwanda.” May Luwanda rot in hell.”
Its all a rotten phony in POS Fraud. Its sickening!!
” I think its because the Government want a excuse to Declare Martial Law.”
That is good as then you will know who the traitors are because here in this nation, in our constitutional government there is NO SUCH THING AS MARTIAL LAW, EMERGENCY POWERS.
“The Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and people, equally in war and peace, and covers with the shield of its protection all classes of men, at all times, and under all circumstances. No doctrine involving more pernicious consequences was ever invented by the wit of man than that any of its provisions can be suspended during any of the great exigencies of government. Such a doctrine leads directly to anarchy or despotism.” The Supreme Court of the United States, 1866
“Emergency does not create power. Emergency does not increase granted power or remove or diminish the restrictions upon power granted or reserved. The Constitution was adopted in a period of grave emergency. Its grants of power to the Federal Government and its limitations of the power of the States were determined in the light of emergency and they are not altered by emergency.” Home Building & Loan Association v. Blaisdell, 290 U.S. 398, 425 (1934)
Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr: “This has nothing to do with personalities or subjective ideas. It’s a matter of what the Constitution provides… The government of the United States has never violated anyone’s constitutional rights…
The government of the United States will never violate anyone constitutional rights, because it cannot violate anyone’s constitutional rights.
The reason for that is: The government of the United States is that set of actions by public officials that are consistent with the Constitution. Outside of its constitutional powers, the government of the United States has no legitimacy. It has no authority; and, it really even has no existence. IT IS WHAT LAWYERS CALL A LEGAL FICTION. (caps are mine)
… the famous case Norton v. Shelby County… The Court said: “An unconstitutional act is not a law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties. It is, in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed.”
And that applies to any (and all) governmental action outside of the Constitution…”
What are the defining characteristics of a limited government? They are its disabilities; what it does not have legal authority to do.
Look at the First Amendment… What does it do? It guarantees freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of religion. But how does it do that? I quote: “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press” etcetera. “Congress shall make no law;” that’s a statement of an absence of power. That’s a statement of a disability.
If we go to the doctrine of “Emergency Powers,”… what was the foundational case that put that doctrine on the constitutional map? It was Knox vs. Lee, the legal tender cases brought after the Civil War.
…
… read a dissenting opinion by Justice Stephen Field, the only Justice on the Supreme Court who had the integrity to dissent in every legal tender case that he heard. He wrote a dissenting opinion in Dooley vs. Smith, in 1872. He wrote, “The arguments in favor of the constitutionality of legal tender paper currency tend directly to break down the barriers which separate a government of limited powers from a government resting in the unrestrained will of Congress. Those limitations must be preserved, or our government will inevitably drift from the system established by our Fathers into a vast, centralized, and consolidated government.”
You notice he was not talking specifically about the monetary powers. He wasn’t saying that these arguments would lead to the monetary powers being unrestrained. It was destroying the concept of limited government. “The arguments in favor of the constitutionality of legal tender paper currency tend directly to break down the barriers which separate a government of limited powers from a government resting in the unrestrained will of Congress.” How do you define, or how would you characterize, a government resting in the unrestrained will of Congress, or any other political body? It is by definition a totalitarian government…
The Federal Reserve System was there when the greatest banking collapse in American history occurred, in 1932-1933, and in what was called the Great Depression of the 1930s. In that period what happened? The Roosevelt New Deal. What were the powers they were screaming for? Emergency powers. You’ll find that written into many statutes, e.g., The Emergency Banking Act of 1933. You should pay attention to the title, The Emergency Banking Act of 1933, and the “Aggregate Powers” doctrine. It’s been all downhill since then.
…
How should that have been done? Well, Americans would have had to understand and enforce their Constitution. You notice I say Americans, not the Congress or the Supreme Court, because who is the final arbiter of this document? [holding a copy of the Constitution] It is not Congress, and it is not the Supreme Court. It is “we the people.”
Read the thing. How does it start? “We the people do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States”; not “we the politicians,” not “we the judges.” Those people are the agents of the people. We the people are the principals.
The doctrine is very clear that, being the principals, we are the Constitution’s ultimate interpreters and enforcers. You don’t have to take my word for it. Let’s go back to the Founding Fathers…
The Founding Fathers were profound students of law and political philosophy, their knowledge unequaled by any today. Their mentor in that era was William Blackstone, who wrote Blackstone’s Commentaries, probably the most widely read legal treatise of its time, certainly here in the United States. What did Blackstone write about this subject? He wrote, “Whenever a question arises between the society at large and any magistrate vested with powers originally delegated by that society, it must be decided by the voice of the society itself; there is not upon earth any other tribunal to resort to.” (We the people are the Constitution’s ultimate interpreters. (Dr. Edwin Vieira, http://www.constitution.org/mon/vieira_03225.htm ) [End Dr. Vieira quote]
Notice that it was the Supreme courts “gave” “emergency powers”, though it was not, and still is not, a power granted to them to give or use. Here there is NO LAWFUL MARTIAL LAW OR EMERGENCY POWERS. Martial Law is when the rulers have total control, even over life and death. Here no governmental power is given to any who serve within our governments. All powers/authority is given to each branch or to named offices within a branch. The people WHO SERVE WITHIN our governments – state and federal – are ALLOWED TO USE that power as long as they keep the contract, the US Constitution, and where it applies, each state’s Constitution. If it is not found in writing within one of those documents, those who serve within our governments or governmental agencies do NOT have that power, it is usurpation at best, treason at worst.

The 4th of July, what a joke! A celebration of freedom that when viewed honestly freedom has been continually eroded. A much wiser expression of freedom would be millions of Americans in the streets demanding a real investigation of the events of 9-11, putting pressure on the liars and cons who pulled off the inside job. This would be a 4th of July worth celebrating and remembrance. Americans can’t be this stupid, or are they? That one incident paints Americans as cowards with short memories. Maybe you enjoy the endless wars based on lies and being played like powerless suckers. Distracted and meaningless in the big picture, America has rolled over dead.
Real 4th of July Freedom would be for all real Americans to take to the streets armed to the teeth and start rounding up all the illegal aliens and politicians ourselves who have robbing our country blind. It time to burn down all the ivory towers and sanctuary cities. That would be freedom to protect America from all enemies foreign and domestic. And as the Freedom in our Constitution which provides for.
You’re close. It IS to be enforced by the American people, as it is constitutionally assigned to the Militia of the several states. If you do not know who that is, it is us, “We the People of the united States of America”.
But the US Constitution requires a few things from us first before we can enforce that document, and each state’s document, and reasonably so.
WE are the Militia of the several states, and we are REQUIRED to be trained as the military is required to be trained by Congress. We are REQUIRED to know the US Constitution (supreme LAW of this nation), and our own state’s Constitution (highest Law of the state except in the rare instances it might conflict with the US Constitution).
WE are REQUIRED to be armed, and trained in those arms, but understand that those who serve within our governments have duties TO the Militias (Article 1, Section 8, Clauses 15 and 16) Because it says in writing EXACTLY what those who serve within our governments have authority/jurisdiction over. What duties they are REQUIRED to perform. What they can only do if certain things have occurred, and then HOW they must be carried out.
Why do we have to know and understand those documents? Because we cannot ENFORCE what we do not know and understand.
Do you think our type of government is a “democracy”? Then you have a lot of learning to do. But if you already know that we are a constitutional republic, then you are a giant step ahead of the game.
Yes the internet if full of folks like you who haven’t faced reality. Some give reasons why you don’t have to pay income taxes. and all sorts of legal opinions. And possibly you might be 100% correct in your perceived legal opinion? your still full of Bull. The Actions you advocate are not a viable solution. They cannot be even partially implemented. The Federal Government has became too powerful. The federal government has over half of the citizens as willing compliant sheeple. Of those who would be patriots the lions share are fat to obese unhealthy folks who get winded going from the couch to the bathroom. Its over for the Republic that was declared this day by the founding fathers. Every day we regress and morph more into a Mob Rule Commie socialist Democracy. And its accepted as the new normal. When the Government and the Majority of the citizens no longer think that the Counstitution is not the ( Supreme Law) but a out dated document that no longer applies. Your assessment isn’t practical viable or revelant. I simple terms Cal you are full if shit!
We get warnings every 4th of July.
This is a revised version of an older article.
The people in the USA, in general, are not strongly on any “side”. Most people are involved in all kinds of normal day to day activities. They have too many problems of their own to get all pushed out of shape. That’s why a few power hungry psychos have been able to infiltrate and take over.
Most of us are smart enough to know that we will have to “take back our Country” but not in some type of “civil war” that these psychos want. We just need to keep our own families together.
Have a great day with your children, your parents and grandparents. America is a great Country. I am proud to be an American.

Amen BA, even though I am not religious. I will also be celebrating my Freedom Away From Religion. 9-11 woke me up that most everything is Fraud Based. And from then on, I refuse to be lied to, cheated and defrauded and will call out all liars and thieves who also rob our country blind. So join me in the quest for the Truth in all matters.
The truth shall set you free!
Truth is treason in an empire of lies.
By Cooper’s Color Code, I am in, at minimum, condition Yellow 24/7.
Any day, every day… is a good day to live.
Plan on waxing the dune buggy as a July 4th celebration.
Hi Daisy……mi casa es su……
Stay Frosty…..BA.
BA,
You are supposed to finish the phrase.
“casa”.
I only speak conversational Spanish
and a little Mandarin, as long as you
speak slowly in either language.
CA school system used to be very good!
@rellik:
Daisy is family.
The phrase…….for her…..she knows.
Best to you and yours.
Be safe…..BA.
The radical left needs a good kick in the balls.
The good news is that rationale folks even most dingy democrats see their atics for what they are – American haters will be eaten up in the mid terms
Vote early and often with the whole family and friends
Trump said it – More Conservatives – no Rino’s
I plan to eat hot dogs and hamburgers on the 4th. I also plan to watch neighborhood fireworks from my own yard.
“A video shows that the event devolved into extreme violence.” No, it actually devolved into an Antifa butt-kicking. Real men aren’t as easy to beat as those images on the XBox screen.
It’s not too hard to figure out where all the girly-men are.
Archivist, I’m back at the BOL for 2 weeks. I’ll be having BBQ with the family on the 4th. If anything happens at least I’m already in the right place.
Two excellent articles on 9-11 and the use of nukes plus all of the other nuke incidents such as OKC July 1st at veteranstoday. They are: Dimitri Khalizov, The State of 9-11 Truth (video) and Why is Israel Controlling 9-1 Troof? This includes dozens of related info sites. The comments are good also. I haven’t seen any other site touching these truths.
The only thing I can afford to shoot off these days is my mouth.
?
If you’re having pork barbecue, invite a Muslim to join you. Good for international relations!
So meheeco elects a new el presidente who is an outspoken socialist communist that will turn marxico into a venezuela 2.0 while encouraging marxican citizens to leave marxico to jump the border into the USA.
north American union here they come.
We’ll be having a family celebration of the constitution that protects us all.
I have some legal fireworks. I’m thinking a flanks steak cut up for mouthwatering Phili style cheese steak sandwiches.
Perhaps some pizza and beer too.
I love the fourth
I will be at some public celebrations this week, but I will be less than defenseless. Multiple force multipliers, all legal where I live.
Have a plan, be free. Those two concepts are inseparable. Did I say God bless America.
If anything happens, while it would make front page news, you have far greater chance of being killed by a drunk driver over the holiday.
A false flag EMP on the first day of summer? Would mean 3 months of rotting everything.
My baby boomer grandson just spent the last year taking all the tests to get into the border patrol. He will soon be in their school. He actually got through college without becoming a liberal a$$.
Every year we hear the same thing. This will be the last 4th of July, blah blah blah. Doom porn at its finest.
Gold and Silver prices are getting crushed. Another entry point oportunity to back up the truck and load up. Gold $1243 / Silver as low at $15.73 last night. Go to kitco.com for spot pricing. Buy on the dips, sell on the peaks.
As long as any president is allowed to Draft execuitive orders. and the government minions be willing to enforce them. That president is a dictator. We are living under a dictatorship. It don’t matter if we agree with any Prisidents Execuitive orders or not. He is bypassing congress and the Judicial courts. No checks and balances on his dictates. So much for the fake Freedom we celebrate on the 4th.
Old Guy
Executive Orders actually go back to the framers. Their intent was to streamline actions to facilitate carrying out existing law. Over time an an, the and but included in them changed their scope in such a manner that they circumvent the Constitution. Likely the most egregious is Executive Order 6102 signed on April 5, 1933, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt “forbidding the Hoarding of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates within the continental United States”.
The Supreme Court upheld all seizures as Constitutional, with Justices James Clark McReynolds, Willis Van Devanter, George Sutherland, and Pierce Butler dissenting. A layman can see its un-constitutionally however an activist USSC cannot. That’s a razor thin 5 to 4 ruling as was Heller (fortunately in our favor). USSC appointments are of paramount importance. In effect the USSC activist Justices double talk recognizing “rights” that in “special circumstances” are not absolute thereby reducing them to privileges.
OMG, … okay
Executive Orders are directives to those who serve within the EXECUTIVE BRANCH letting those who serve there know what their “boss” wants done, in what way, and by whom. EO’s have NO AUTHORITY on the American people.
READ! READ THE POCKET CONSTITUTION AT THE VERY LEAST. It is a very small document. You can do it! READ!
But we citizens are being ruled by execuitive orders contrary to your assertion that it only applies to the Execuitive branch. Trump issued one in December that allows anyone to be rounded up by the special forces and locked away at GITMO. There is one on the books that gives the government authority over every drop of water in the USA. They only give Lip Service to the CONSTITUTION and pervert it to suit their purposes.
Cal
Your incorrect. Read what I wrote about executive order 6102 which confiscated gold from all Americans.
When will you people understand we outnumber them. The left or right is just different sides of the same coin. Why do most of you continue to stay in the chains of party politics? Why do you people still believe you must have leaders? Are you not adults? Are you not mature enough to make decisions on your own? Most of you pound your chest and claim to be free, yet you still vote, you still look to others to tell you what to eat, wear, watch, say, do, and how to think…
I think that that the base of that proverbial, social pyramid is made of improvident people, with no objective morality.
It all started with the “Whiskey Rebellion” when Washington declared war on his own people to collect a “tax”. Enough said about executive orders.. That was the beginning of they hate us for our freedoms.
I personally will not celebrate anything tomorrow, just another day in the gulag.
I know patriots here in the Redoubt. Look at the pictures. These wackos are NOT the normal patriot crowd. The ‘Portland Riots’ have blatant ‘orchestrated’ written all over it; on both sides! This makes them even more dangerous.
Look for a planted armed mad man soon. He will be a dressed up as a ‘patriot/MAGA guy’ as scapegoat. The false flag could be this generation’s ‘Kent State’. But instead of facilitating ant-war/anti-violence it will purposely bring the opposite.
July 3rd – today – was the day the DOI was signed. The founders thought 7/3 would go down in history. The document was read aloud on 7/4. Thus, the ridiculous excuse today to drink a lot and explode things. Juvenile.
Think back about the media coverage prior to the Election. They skewed the polls.The gave Trump the worst press possible. They assured the citizens Trump never had a ghost of any chance of winning. And Just who owns the mainstream press? And now the press is pushing the lies about President Trumps supporters all being Racist Nazi who deserve to die. Hellery called us Deplorables. Im afraid the NWO has a plan that continues progressing no matter what we citizens do. It don’t matter who trump appoints to the Supreme Court. The NWO comtinues its progress. Right now they are promoting the Idea that the left has a moral obligation to not accept the results of any election court ruling or law they don’t agree with. So My opinion is this 4th is the Civil War 4th. The left has gone bonkers. If they lose in the fall elections they will not tuck their tails in defeat. Nope they will resort to more violence. And its a ploy to get the right to respond. And then Martial Law be declared. And then along with that al firearms be declared illegal. And in comes the UN troops to help the USA military to disarm everyone. The so called Patriots cannot win a war fought with bulletts. You could kill every liberal Dimocrap and stil lose. The USA military has stuff at Area 51 that we cant compete with. I wish Hick’s Nibiru would hurry up. We need a space rock or two to throw a monkey wrench in the NWO machines gears.
Old Guy you nailed it in my opinion. THIS is what I have nightmares about.
ALWAYS carry, never be unarmed……NEVER………and always carry a full extra mag……happy Independence day everyone….
Can I hear an ‘Amen!’ Enough is right. Viewers, are you armed right now as you read this?
Record gun sales are good but what America really needs is record holster sales.
Carrying develops a whole different mentality and sense on reality.
I’ll be in the safest place around,at work…..in prison.
