For the edification of the Watchman List.

Comments and discussion are most welcome.

For thus has the Lord said unto me:
“Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees.”
Isaiah 21:6

“Kraal” is an Afrikaans term for a tribal village, used by that tribe and none others..

The urban kraals are much the same...

“the government successfully locked down an entire metropolitan area, “


Wrong—I live in the area. It was a very small area that was affected.

“Kraal” is Afrikaans for a black African village surrounded by a wall or fence. Same roots as the word “corral”.

Current usage seems to be the same as the 1960’s term “ghetto”.

Please forgive any double-pings to thread thread, as I am operating off some old lists.

The bottom rung is occupied by the drug addicts and users. They exist, not live as we understand the word. They have no assets, no goals, no drive. But they do have an almost animal instinct to continue living. They will be armed with anything they can steal or lay hands on. Most will have a knife of razor box cutter, and some sort of cheap pistol, or they will not live to get out of the city.

Since they have no resources or assets, they will be on the edge of starvation and desperation almost within a day of an event. With no fixed residence or place to defend, they will be hitting the road and coming towards us.

They will become violent without any provocation and there will be no negotiating or bargaining with them. They don't want to hear your story or excuses. All they want is what you have. And have no doubts: They will do anything to get what they want. And this does include catering to their most base instincts of rape, murder and mutilation. Letting someone like this even close to you and what you have is flirting with death.

I live in a small township South of Cleveland. Al Sharpass has promised to be in town for the Republican Convention. I expect a lot of trouble!

And I notice at this hour, that cowards are throwing the race card in the keywords, in an effort once again to shut down debate.

It is almost too late, almost, to tell folks to bloat, especially suburban dwellers.

Not So Ironically the Best Defense Against the Raiders is The People coming to together to form a Militia themselves.

To Provide for the Common Defense.
