why are we schizophrenic on liberty ....

in movies, popular literature, in novels the hero fights to the end to secure freedom and liberty.  the "matrix," the "hobbit," all fight blind soulless crushing tyranny to the depths of their resolve, and in the end, prevail.

nothing succeeds in entertainment like the battle for freedom.    no movie or book ever made celebrates the tyranny of orianna fallaci's mollusk bureaucrats & their thug minions described in the hell of stalin's gulags by solzhenitsyn, as a triumph of the human spirit.

yet it seems that in every passing election we imposes leftist tyranny, and tyrants, upon ourselves, and sacrifice liberty and freedom for the numbing control of the bureaucratic nanny state.   not even fyodor dostoevsky in the conversation w/ the divine inquisitor in "the brother's karamazov" can fully explain the thirst and impulse toward liberty and freedom, and the countermanding fear of liberty and responsibility that blunts the pursuit of the good.

napoleon said every army marches on its stomach.    and, it would seem, every body politic enslaves itself on its stomach.

the "officers model" 1911 semi automatic pistol ....

this is a small version of the famous government model colt 1911 semi automatic pistol.   i built it, for ease of handling and firing, and for comfortable carry and ease of concealment.

the parts have come from various sources.    more on that later.

 

 

 

it is shown against the image of a 7 round magazine made for small 1911's.    suffice it to say, that all efforts have been made to reduce "the signature" of the beaver-tail grip safety and hammer: more details on the build will follow.    it was the project that consumed last winter's doldrums.

britain exits the euro union ....

britain begins the process of exiting the euro union.

other states will follow, and in those states nascent nationalistic movements will play an important role in re-establishing national identity.

there is hope, therefore, that the tide of muslim immigration into europe will be stemmed, and that islam will be cast out of europe.

in the meantime, we have our own issues to address in the united states.   may god look favorably upon us, and may donald trump get us back on track.   we have a chance to deal international socialism another sound defeat, perhaps more fundamental than that just seen in england.
