No rest for the wicked.
The denouement of the Threeper career of one Christian Hyman, aka Sam Kerodin
Denouement, noun: the final part of a play, movie, or narrative in which the strands of the plot are drawn together and matters are explained or resolved.
I wasn't going to comment upon it, but a lot of chickens are coming home to roost on Kerodin's head lately with posts and comments at places like Western Rifle Shooters and Knuckledraggin.com. These have been supplemented by a number of offers of apology emailed to me by various folks taken in by him, typical of which is the one below, sent late Thursday night. These have been accompanied by requests that I take a public position on what seems to be the denouement of the Threeper career of Christian Hyman, aha "Sam Kerodin." I can do no better than my reply to that email, which I sent very early Friday morning and which is also reproduced below:

In the past, I've said some pretty nasty things about you, siding with Sam Kerodin when you brought him up.I owe you an apology, sir. There ain't a thing about Sam that you brought up that hasn't been right. Money, ego, money, ego, and all of it hand in hand. I'm sorry for the things I said and posted in response to your posts and I do hope you realize that I'm sincere. This is really kicking me in the teeth right now because I've never considered myself to be a follower of anyone. I was at your site the other day and saw the III Percenter Catechism post for the first time. Outstanding. That's what it's all about - small localized cells, honor and the moral high road. And it was then that I realized how far Sam has strayed from the original intent of the III Percent.Again, my apologies. I hope you choose to accept them but if not, I'll understand. Regardless, you have my word I'll never publish anything against you again.

From: georgemason1776@aol.comTo: REDACTEDSent: Friday, August 21, 2015 1:48 AMSubject: Re: An apology from a former FOKkerNo apologies necessary. It is no particular shame to be taken in by a con man and Kerodin is an exceptionally skilled con man. We have all made mistakes of judgment, especially as far as errors in choosing our friends and associates. In this I am grateful that I have had the experience of the past twenty plus years in the liberty movement. There is nothing about Kerodin/Hyman that I didn't see in one form or another in different folks during the 90s, but I must say that I had never seen them all wrapped up in quite the same package with quite the same skilled artifice until I experienced K/H. What hurt the most was losing my best friend at the time, Peter White, to the controversy. I never expected that and the memory still cuts deep. I keep wondering when Pete will finally reach his gag reflex with K/H and yet he never seems to.As far as promising "never publish anything against you again," please don't make that statement. I am as prone to error as any other human and when or if I stray from my declared principles I expect to be held to account by my friends as well as my enemies. If spending the past four years with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel has taught me anything it has taught me humility (not that I still couldn't stand some more instruction in that) and patience (ditto) and to listen to what God has in mind for me in whatever form that message takes.I do appreciate your offer of publishing your mea culpa, but I am loathe to restart that fight right now as I am at a low point healthwise and in other ways and don't need to take on another fight right now (at least until I know how the new liver cancer is going to be dealt with). If you don't mind, though, we'll keep this in the quiver until such time as we need that arrow.I do appreciate your message, though. It heartens me that others are finally coming to the same conclusions as I did about K/H even though it brings me no joy when I consider all the damage he has done over the years to the brand and the concept.May God bless you and keep you and yours and permit you to stay strong in the fight. We are going to need every man and woman in the coming maelstrom.Mike VanderboeghIII
"One can fool some men, or fool all men in some places and times, but one cannot fool all men in all places and ages." -- Jacques Abbadie in “Traité de la Vérité de la Religion Chrétienne,” 1684. (The origin of the statement "You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.")
From the posts and comments at the various sites, it is evident that there are charges of gross financial malfeasance and other long-standing character traits on the part of Mr. Hyman that have alienated virtually all of his former support base. With the exception of the unrepentant Bill Nye, who has long repeated his sincere desire that I die a lingering painful death from cancer, it would seem that Hyman/Kerodin has reached his Threeper denouement. No doubt there are other fields of financial opportunity awaiting him elsewhere. As I wrote above, I take no pleasure from this. The damage to my own relationships with men I thought were friends and comrades in arms, as well as the corruption of the Three Percent philosophy and brand, was very real and pains me yet today. As a Christian I can only hope that such people as Hyman and Nye come eventually to their conversion experience, but until then I am reminded of what answer the rabbi in Fiddler on the Roof gave to the question, "Rebbe, is there a blessing for the Tsar?" The rabbi thought for a moment and replied, "May God bless and keep the Tsar -- far away from us."
LATER: I also found it interesting that at Knuckledraggin a commenter just left this link: "How Covert Agents Infiltrate the Internet to Manipulate, Deceive, and Destroy Reputations."
To quote the Bard: "Who hath measured the ground?" CT rag writes ludicrous "analysis" of "assault weapon" ownership.
Wilton owns 3% of assault weapons in Fairfield County.
What crap. I wrote the following to the editor of this rag:
What a ludicrous self-deception. Measuring the incidence of military pattern semi-automatic rifles by basing it on the number of gutless fools who registered them under the new law is like rating the compliance with prostitution laws by the number of sex workers who turn themselves in for prosecution. Connecticut has something like an 80 to 85 percent noncompliance rate with the new law. Got that? That's hundreds of thousands of CT firearm owners who have refused to comply with this new tyranny. So why hasn't the notoriously anti-firearm governor and his even more notorious thug toady Mike Lawlor started the raids on homes where they KNOW such arms are stored? Because they are afraid of starting an armed resistance that could blossom into bloody civil war. Two years ago in April, I spoke at a huge rally on the steps of the statehouse there in Hartford and urged CT firearm owners that if their state government insisted upon making them criminals then they should accept that fact, embrace it and become the very best criminals they could be. It is evident that they took my advice to heart, yet the CT so-called press has chosen not to see that such tyrannical laws can be nullified by armed civil disobedience. Still, you are able to write such ridiculous "analyses" based upon what is known to be woefully inadequate "statistics." Why is that?Mike Vanderboeghsipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com
I reject the notion that there was ONE reason the M14 was superceded, but this makes interesting reading.
The United States Army Ordnance Department procurement system has always been its own (and the troops they are supposed to serve) worst enemy: Berlin Crisis, 1961: The Beginning of The End of The M14
Outstanding. "I grabbed the AK and started muzzle thumping him in the head." "And the three of us beat him until he was unconscious." (Updated with better link.)

From the "It Doesn't Rain But What It Pours Department."
Well, the house air conditioner has now huffed it. Fearing that the new dog, whose chewing instinct is prodigious (he previously chewed a couple of boards off the back of the house), had gnawed through the wiring, I went out into the jungle that is my backyard to examine the unit. Nope. Fortunately the rawhide chews we bought seem to have preserved the A/C. But after checking the breakers and fuses, it is obvious that the unit has power, it just won't start up, emitting a click and a low electric whine like the fan is trying to start but is obstructed. However, an inspection of the fan blade/motor revealed no such simple obstruction. Any ideas? Can't call a service guy. They have a distressing habit of wanting a not-inconsiderable amount of money to do their black magic.
Well, have two doctor's appointments this morning, so I'll try to have more later.
Smart. Tell the customer he doesn't want what he says he wants.
Beretta Argues M9 Upgrade Cheaper Than MHS.
Why am I reminded of this?: We're No Angels, "A Gifted Salesman." Unfortunately for Beretta, that only works in the movies.
Good thing they were light "cowboy loads." Stupid is as stupid does. Negligent discharge almost blows off another man's balls.
I recall that when I was a Civil War re-enactor, we had events where the opposing unit got to inspect our cartridge boxes and vice versa. We also eventually had to go to the expedient of insisting that participants leave ramrods in camp, because stupid people fired off a couple in our general direction. Accidental shooting injures one during western performance at Hartsel Days.
Don't cry for him, Argentina (nor should anybody else for that matter).
Jeff Greenfield is still thinking inside the box, as if the paradigm hasn't shifted: Democratic Blues: Barack Obama will leave his party in its worst shape since the Great Depression—even if Hillary wins.
This has never been about traditional politics as a metric of success. It has always been about wrecking the country and dividing it up into as many little feuding pieces as possible so that this country's traditional enemies -- from within and without -- can achieve our defeat in detail. By that standard, Barack Obama has done exactly what he set out to do and thanks to the corruption and weakness of his pretended enemies in the GOP elites he has been a stunning success.
LATER: And in a related thread -- Why Obama is torpedoing Hillary Clinton: The president craves a successor who will preserve his legacy
Beyond the bad blood, however, Mr. Obama has a more important reason for doing her in. As I have written previously, he needs a successor he can control. Over the years, including recently, he has waxed rhapsodic over a possible third term to continue his “fundamental transformation of the nation.” Mrs. Clinton will not provide it; therefore, she must be sidelined. If Mr. Obama does not want an investigation to go forward, it does not go forward. Witness the scandals involving the Internal Revenue Service, Benghazi, Veterans Administration and Operation Fast and Furious gunrunning. . .
The Democratic ticket will be Joe Biden-Elizabeth Warren. That’s what Mr. Obama wants. And what Mr. Obama wants, Mr. Obama gets. This is “Game of Thrones.” And Mr. Obama is winning.
