Sipsey Street Irregulars: Robert Farago thinks he is being blacklisted by a secret cabal of gun bloggers.

Robert Farago thinks he is being blacklisted by a secret cabal of gun bloggers.

The Shadow.

Original here.

Say Uncle's comment.

Farago comments to SayUncle:

As the post stated, the blacklist is unofficial. And I will not name names because I don’t wish to burn bridges. If you wish to discuss that particular aspect in more detail, please ping me at guntruth@me.com.

The comments are both instructive and funny.

I dunno. Whenever I talk about Farago, I always provide the link, so I guess I'm not part of the secret cabal in Farago's mind. Or, am I? To paraphrase The Shadow: Who knows what self-induced confusion lurks in the minds of men?

On my own personal web site, "OUR ETERNAL STRUGGLE", I had to remove "THE TRUTH ABOUT GUNS" from the list of "WEB SITES I FOLLOW".

Normally, I would visit that web site every time something new was posted.

But, the last couple of times, one of those gray "ERROR" boxes popped up, the kind that can't be closed, and won't allow you to leave the web site, and instead, just continues to open more and more boxes.

I suspect those are fake "ERROR" messages, designed to sell fake anti-virus software, which actually downloads a virus of some sort.

So, I figure that web site has been hacked, and I'd better steer clear of it.

For a similar reason, I also removed David Codrea's "WAR ON GUNS" web site, because whenever I went there, there were so many pop up advertisements that it became extremely difficult to see his message.

So, I rely on your web site to keep me abreast of whatever develops at David Codrea's "WAR ON GUNS" web site.

I don't know what to do about staying informed on the latest postings at "THE TRUTH ABOUT GUNS" web site.

Thank you.

The RKBA sites don't link to those that give the anti-rights movement anymore breath than they already get in the MSM.; August 22, 2011 at 6:35 PM

I think I'll be pissed at him for not linking to my blog, that black-listing little bastard.; August 22, 2011 at 8:31 PM

Are you using MS Internet Exploder? If so, STOP! RIGHT NOW!

It's not their sites. Your computer has been penetrated by malware.; August 23, 2011 at 6:36 AM
Anonymous said...: Hated to see "The Truth About Guns" self-destruct like that, Robert had a little good commentary and a lot of head-scratchers.

Stick a fork in it; TTAG's done.

Meanwhile, the Truth is still alive and well, at Sipsey Street and many other places.

The rest of the world is just as free to ignore him if/when he does, and to welcome him back to the community when his self imposed timeout is over.

Just because you have a blog does not give you the right to act like some diva, or to be treated like one by the rest of creation.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
