From Max-

Ok, so there is that song “You’re so vain, you think this song is about you.’ Well, in this case, THIS POST over at WRSA is actually aimed at me. I know that because I was in email conversation with Concerned American (CA), who runs the place, and he appears to have generally misunderstood what was being said to him by me, and we have agreed to part ways. He’ll probably tell you that I was the trainer he referred to being banned. That’s fine, because there are a number of issues here.

Now, the great crime to which he is referring is my telling of some facts and truth comments in THIS POST over at WRSA. Now, to read the latest post, CA is claiming that I had an ego moment and was hitting out at these two trainers, as if they are innocent. In fact, he has even asked me if I am ‘alright’ and referred to me in an email in terms of this quote:

“Each person believes that if only he had the ring, if only he were the leader, he could resist the temptations of power and achieve what others could not. And so he refuses to work with others or to share the stage, or he even attempts to subvert or co-opt the legitimate accomplishments of more capable men.”

In the sense that this applies to me. But that is in fact the opposite of what has been going on.

There are two main issues here. In summary:

1) I outright challenged Tom of DTG and JC Dodge of MDT, who had formerly been official trainers for the III% SFPA, over the following behavior:

• Blocking my training ideas from the III% Society, where I was a senior policy adviser, including the MVT RIFLEMAN CHALLENGE. This was confirmed to me by members of the III%SFPA board. In fact they stymied tactical training  progress so much that they have since parted ways with the III% Society and are no longer part of it.
• It was confirmed to me that they had done this simply for ego reasons, and due to concerns over ‘market share’.
• I have been consistently back-stabbed by JC Dodge. This is no surprise to me, because I have sat through multiple occasions, even at my classes, where I had JC as an AI on a couple of occasions, where he destroyed Mosby’s reputation, and did the same to anyone who would hear at the PATCON. This was due to a situation that happened when Mosby ran a class at Echo valley, and JC Dodge was sidelined by the SF cadre due to incompetence
• The final part of this is a lack of general competence as tactical trainers. There are some great tactical trainers out there, such as Mosby, Dan Morgan, Sierra12. DTG and JC are not among them.

Now I know that in the wake of this, they are trying to claim the moral high ground and put it about that I have lost my mind, or done this for ego reasons. I am simply telling the truth. They were conducting themselves poorly behind everyone’s back, I have just pulled the band aid off. So now they are scrambling to try and plaster this over, and trying to make it out that I have lost my mind, or comically, that I am threatened by them as ‘better men.’ Ha! If only I had listened to my wife when she had her intuition about JC, rather than supporting him over the whole Echo Valley disaster. If only.

WRSA has tried to put this as a great betrayal of the ‘freedom movement’ but in fact it was necessary. No, I’m not trying to be the only trainer, but I have high professional standards and I want people to be trained by professional instructors. How is my behavior, calling them out for their bullshit, worse than them undermining other trainers, and the organization as a whole behind everyone’s back? Trying to get ahead on the shoulders of better men, and creating an old boys club to make money and corner ‘market share’ for themselves (their words, as reported to me).

I call BS.

So anyway, displaying a lack of judgement and tactical know-how, CA decided to come down on their side on his site, and DTG and JC are all over it with posts about their boy-scout rucking experiences.

2) But the plot thickens. I had expressed to CA concerns over the way his site has increasingly become an anarchist-fantasist-hater venue. He calls it free speech. I say it is splitting this so called ‘freedom movement.’ This was apparent in this post of mine:

Philosophy: Rights & Anarchy

and the follow up:

Max Velocity Tactical: Statement of Intent

So it appears that what may be going on is that CA is an ‘anarchist’ sympathizer and he was unhappy that I challenged him on this. I have heard from multiple people who either no longer read WRSA, or who won’t comment, and who will tell you that the place is now infested with anarchists and trolls. I mean, there was a really nasty post right there today by Buppert, with the following line:

“And then we have the mewling from certain sections of the feedlot about the sacred Constitution and returning to our roots to regain our liberties. Fat chance, since the germination of that document gave us the leviathan we labor under today. That is not coincidence but causation, the Constitution was designed from the beginning to be an engine for giant government.”

Perhaps it’s not too paranoid to say that was a result of him coming over and commenting on my Philosophy: Rights & Anarchy post? So, this smacks of an attack based on my adherence to Rightful Liberty and refusal to engage in the anarchist fantasy that they can live in little ‘voluntarist’ groups and not end up in perpetual war, or not get taken over by warlords…..yawn. I vote for civil society where Rightful Liberty is protected by common law. There’s an app for that, it’s called the Constitution. And don’t start me on where we are today – that is a human failure, that will apply equally to those trying to live as anarchists, but they will simply have no protection at all. The strongest will dominate.

So by sticking with DTG and JC and banning me, CA is doing his readership a disservice. It won’t be the first place I have been banned from for telling the truth! Maryland Shooters most recently (for telling a troll he was  a muppet…), American Preppers Network…..LOL. There are idiots all over the internet. I don’t tolerate fools and so don’t do so well on the internet.

A truth telling session about some disreputable trainers does not destroy the ‘freedom movement’ as CA referred to it. It does not mean that I have lost my mind. However, the greater threat is this move towards anarchy that WRSA is hosting. That splits the movement. It also makes it impossible to bring folks who are waking up on side – when they read that hater stuff. When they read the post equating Chris Kyle to Lon Horiuchi (sniper at Ruby Ridge). I’m not a Kyle-lover, but I did not like that at all.

If you are in the military, you are wrong, according to these folks, the anarchists. Ooops. that’s your tactical trainers! But you see, the anarchist types never train anyway, and they are not going to fight for America, ever. Why fight for America when you hate the place, even the very Constitution? These are as much enemies of freedom as statist lefties. So we are not concerned about that. They are just self-absorbed cowards.

So no, WRSA is not the place for me or my posts. I did express gratitude to CA for all the traffic he has directed my way, but he didn’t seem to get that from my email.

What needs to happen now is for a site to be created that is for freedom and Rightful Liberty, that will bring together Constitutionalist Patriots rather than fragment them with this hater anarchist stuff.

Anarchists suffer the same issue as pacifists – pacifists can only enjoy the fruits of their pacifism because rough men stand watch over them in the night. Anarchists can enjoy their associations of three dudes or whatever because they live within a state that provides law and structure. Whether or not that state is perfect right  now or not is irrelevant, because if it went away, then it’s chaos time!

Anyone with a modicum of reading comprehension ability can understand what I have said in all these linked posts, see the truth there, and know that I have not lost my mind, I’m not an agent trying to split the ‘movement’, nor have I suffered an exaggerated ego.

I started this training business with the outline idea to “help good folks stay alive.” From this post: Max Velocity Tactical: Statement of Intent, the mission of Max Velocity Tactical can be expressed as follows:

To provide high quality tactical training, primarily to armed civilians,  in order to enhance their ability to survive life threatening situations.

As always, MVT will drive on with this mission. Providing high quality combat-proven professional training. .

Why?

Live Hard.

Die Free.

The reporter obviously can’t count,there was 105 people at the protest,according to those who organized the event’s twitter feed. At first they tweeted that there were 82 people attending,a second tweet said there were 105 people attending-there could have been additional tweets that I missed-but the point is-the media claims about half the number of people were there than were  actually present.

As usual,the media’s account is greatly different than what actually took place-according to those who were there.

The media is never going to accurately report on anything that’s pro-gun/anti-police state.

Just check Twitter… #westandinWA for what really took place.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A gun-rights rally drew about 50 people, mostly armed, to the steps of the Capitol on Saturday morning for a demonstration they hoped would end with their arrest. To raise money for bail, some protesters hawked caps with “Fight Tyranny — Shoot Back” printed on them and sold out.

The plan was to walk into the Capitol after a few speeches and carry guns into the Legislature’s viewing gallery, in defiance of rule changes made in January that banned the open carry of firearms there. However, the Washington State Patrol kept the gallery doors locked after the building opened to the public at 11 a.m. The crowd, including two state legislators, walked through the marble hallways, with some lining up to knock on the doors to the House gallery and Gov. Jay Inslee’s office.

No one was arrested, and the State Patrol reported no disturbances. The protesters went instead to the closed gate of the governor’s mansion and prayed.

“What’s the world coming to when there are people who want to break the law and they won’t let you do it?” said Dave Grenier, 58, of Tumwater, as his fellow pro-gun demonstrators began to file out of the Capitol.

Their complaints against state government stem from the 2014 passage of Initiative 594 by voters statewide. It imposed new background-check requirements on several types of gun transfers, including purchases and loans, and opponents say the new law infringes on firearm rights guaranteed in the state and federal constitutions.

After protest rallies at the Capitol in December and January, leaders of the House and Senate prohibited the open carrying of firearms into the Legislature’s viewing galleries. In the January rally, one protester among the dozen or so who carried guns into the House gallery was rebuked by the State Patrol for how he was holding his gun, and the ban was instituted days later.

Saturday morning’s rally began before the Capitol opened to the public at 11 a.m. A few visitors waiting for guided tours of the legislative building mingled with the gun-rights advocates who clustered in the portico facing Washington’s Temple of Justice to get out of the rain.

State Reps. Elizabeth Scott and Matt Shea addressed the crowd. Shea, R-Spokane Valley, gave a fiery speech that included a list of more than 20 grievances against the government, including militarization of police, high taxes, surveillance programs, Sharia law and restrictions on guns. Scott, R-Monroe, opened her coat to show the crowd her pistol.

“I carry at least one gun every day,” Scott said, “because a cop is too heavy and a guard is too heavy.”

For Eric Devenny, 19, an apprentice mechanic from Bremerton, the rally was his first trip to the Capitol. He wore an AKS-74, a variation of a Russian assault rifle, in a sling on his back as he walked with the group into the legislative building and out to the governor’s mansion gate and said he’ll return for another protest.

“It’s not gonna stop, and we won’t let up,” Devenny said.
