In the United States, Freedom of Speech is our most cherished right. This is one of the things which has allowed our nation to mature so rapidly from a British colony to the worlds leading superpower. We learn and grow rapidly because we are able to openly discuss and evaluate our strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats.
The freedom which we enjoy is far from a global standard. The courts in Saudi Arabia recently sentenced a nineteen year old girl to six months in jail and two hundred lashes for the crime of talking about being raped. The young lady was gang raped by six or more heavily armed men.
The attackers were all Sunni Muslims and the victim is a Shiite Muslim. Shiite Muslims are second-class citizens in the Sunni-dominated kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The Boston Globe reports that Boston police are starting a new program to fool gullible citizens into agreeing to warrantless searches of their homes.
The program involves a group of plainclothes officers showing up at the front doors of unsuspecting citizens and pressuring them into agreeing to warrantless searches of their homes to determine if their children have access to firearms.
Police will target citizens based mainly upon calls to an anonymous tip line. This successfully skirts Fourth Amendment guidelines regarding probably cause.
Unlike a search with a warrant, the District Attorney will be able to press charges for unrelated crimes uncovered during the course of the search. This includes drug possession, but could also include anything ranging from possession of pornography by a minor to a whole range of DSS (Department of Social Services) violations.
Citizens who are uneducated enough to fall for the chicanery could very well find their children in police custody and find themselves charged with neglect or as accessories.

Imprisoning one person in a Bureau of Prisons facility costs $23,183.69 a year (2004 numbers). Those a taxpayer dollars. If we weren’t imprisoning drug users, those dollars could be used for other purposes. What could you do with an extra $23,183.69 a year? How does the War on Drugs affect one of your most precious freedoms — the freedom to spend your hard-earned money as you freely choose?
Barry Cooper is a hardened veteran of the War on Drugs. As a Texas law enforcement officer, Barry arrested hundreds of citizens for drug law violations. He worked with the ATF, DEA, and FBI to incarcerate people for exercising their rightful liberties with their own bodies.
Barry has since seen the error of his ways and he has produced a video called Never Get Busted Again which instructs citizens on how to avoid being profiled and arrested as a narcotics user. The video also teaches citizens a lot about how the police and the legal systems work — and don’t work.
750,000 American citizens are jailed each year for violating marijuana prohibition laws. Please, if you are going to take illegal drugs — buy this video and save the American taxpayers some money.
It seems to me that Savage Firearms is currently manufacturing the perfect deer rifle, the Savage Model 16FLSS.
The rifle is part of Savage’s “Weather Warrior” series. This means that the rifle is made in stainless steel with a durable synthetic stock. The combination gives the rifle an attractive look that will last for decades — even standing up to the abuse that I put a rifle through.
The rifle is very nicely light-weight. The .308 caliber (7.62mm NATO) version weighs just 6.5 pounds. This makes the rifle easy to carry for extended hunting trips.
The 16FLSS comes in a wide variety of calibers: .223 Rem, .22-250 Rem, .243 Win, 7mm-08 Rem, .308 Win, .270 WSM, .7mm WSM, and .300 WSM. The 116FLSS is available for long action calibers: .270 Winchester, .30-06, 7mm Rem Mag, .300 Win Mag, and .338 Win Mag.
.308 is fully adequate for deer, or any other North American game animal. .308 also has the advantage of being 100% compatible with 7.62mm NATO. This makes .308 ubiquitous and inexpensive — and it makes .308 a good caliber for a long-term investment.
Savage Rifles feature the Savage AccuTrigger, which is user-adjustable and quite effective and helping shooters maintain accuracy during the trigger pull.
The Weather Warrior series comes drilled and tapped for scope mounts, a practical necessity for the modern deer hunter.
Best of all, Savage rifles are prices very attractively. With Savage, you get top quality and features at very reasonable prices.
But for me, the greatest feature was Savage’s support for left-handed shooters. We southpaws don’t get a lot of love from most major gun manufacturers, so I very much appreciate Savage’s making the perfect deer rifle — and the perfect deer rifle for me.
We here at Fort Liberty are very proud to be able to announce the public launch of a new project - Tactical Calendar.
As a student in many tactical training courses, one of the most frustrating experiences for me has been that I’ve missed classes in my area simply because I didn’t know they were happening.
Tactical Calendar is designed to help students find courses in their areas which fit their schedules and their interests. It is designed to help increase enrollments in tactical courses across the country — helping to keep our nation free.
The database lists 43 tactical schools and these schools are slowly adding classes for site visitors to search and view. Students can search by date, location, school, or type of course.
If the schools can be convinced to enter their classes into the system, this web site will revolutionize the tactical training industry and will help to keep American citizens trained in the use of the tools of liberty.

MEMRI (The Middle East Media Research Institute) has released another shocking video.
This video is a recording of Saudi Cleric Muhammad Al-’Arifi explaining how a Muslim man should properly beat his wife.
A few excerpts from the video:
Beating in the face is forbidden, even when it comes to animals. When a person is beating an animal… Even if you want your camel or donkey to start walking, you are not allowed to beat it in the face. If this is true for animals, it is all the more true when it comes to humans.
If you beat her with a toothpick, or if you beat her lightly with your hand, and so on, it is meant to convey: “Woman, it has gone too far. I can’t bear it anymore.”
If he beats her, the beatings must be light and must not make her face ugly. He must beat her where it will not leave marks. He should not beat her on the hand… He should beat her in some places where it will not cause any damage.
He should not beat her like he would beat an animal or a child - slapping them right and left.
Perhaps soon Al-’Arifi will release a follow-up video, “How to Beat Your Children” — as his hints of “slapping them right and left” can’t be quite satisfying enough to the sadistic mind.
See the entire video for yourself at MEMRI.
A friend recently asked me to recommend a .380 handgun. My recommendation was, and is, not to purchase a .380 handgun.
The .380 caliber made more sense years ago when no really good and very small 9mm handguns were available on the market. Back then, a Walther PPK in .380 caliber was sometimes a reasonable choice because its small size and weight provided significantly improved concealability.
Today, the existence of such fine firearms as the Kahr PM9 makes it quite difficult to justify the purchase of a .380 handgun.
At 16oz, the Kahr PM9 is a full five ounces lighter than the 21oz Walther PPK. It is also shorter than the PPK by more than half an inch — even though its barrel is a full inch longer. The PM9 is just under one tenth of an inch taller than the earlier .380.
The 9mm Parabellum (Luger) round used in the PM9 packs considerably more punch than the 9mm Short (Kurz) round used in the Walther PPK — about 65% more power. And yet, the Kahr PM9 is quite reasonably pleasant to shoot.
If you feel comfortable with more recoil, Kahr also makes a PM40. The PM40 is just one eighth of an inch wider than the PM9. The two handguns are virtually indistinguishable from each other — until you fire them. The .40 S&W cartridge is significantly more powerful than the 9mm Parabellum cartridge. The PM40 packs quite a kick in terms of recoil in return for the extra edge it gives you in firepower. I don’t recommend the PM40 for inexperienced shooters, but it is a fine little handgun.

This is a trailer for the new movie Hillary Uncensored, which documents the story of Peter Paul and his relationship with Hillary and Bill Clinton.
Quoting the Constitutional law scholar John Armor from the video, “What we’re looking at here is the largest election law fraud in the history of the United States.
The best part about this whole fiasco is the detailed evidence that Peter Paul’s team has been able to produce. This includes video recordings proving that Hillary Clinton has committed felony election fraud and is due for five years in Federal prison.
Production quality of this video is excellent and it is highly recommended.
