The CO must constantly re-evaluate his training to see that it is RELEVANT and REALISTIC to the current threat. Right now, the most pressing CURRENT threat to the Civilian Operator is without a doubt, MULTIPLE ACTIVE SHOOTERS as was seen in Garland, TX this past Sunday.

The War is Here
In yet another attack on American soil, ISIS is proving it’s reach does not exceed it’s grasp when it comes to motivating people to commit acts of terror. Yesterday in Dallas during a AFDI Jihad Watch Free Speech Event, 2 men opened fire on the crowd, wounding a security guard. Thank God no one else…
Cyber-Spook Tradecraft
Originally titled Spyfiles 4 on WikLeaks, this very revealing article reveals some very nasty programs that governments around the world use to spy on their citizens. (Please be careful if you choose to download any of the files on that LINK, as the page warns, even though they have been renamed and compressed, they are still…

Black Panther Party Demands Murder of Police…
It’s strange what makes the news and what does not. No, scratch that, it is a TRAVESTY. Not a day after the arrest of the man who shot two Ferguson Police Officers there is a public march held by the Black Panther Party in Austin, TX during the famous South-by-South West Music Festival. I won’t…
Refusing to be a Victim!!
Here we have an attempted robbery of a man and woman by two thugs on a motorbike in Brazil. The man, upon seeing what is about to happen, springs into action, even though the thug was armed. Although, I never endorse “Being the Hero” just to save money or material items, especially when the bandit…
