Greetings Adventurers, This video has been Copyrighted by Warner Brothers because of the last couple seconds. I am posting it anyway, because nothing I can say could defend Tolkien's message better than the LOTR itself. I don't own the rights, simple as that. I don't put ads in the middle of my videos because I don't like interrupting the flow, so I don't make more money on longer videos like this anyway. The problem, is that Youtube, will put ads on my content, whether I am monetized or not, whether I want them or not, because simply by using their platform, they have the right to make money off of content that they didn't create, even though I don't have the right to make money on content that I didn't create. There is nothing I can do about this.

This video took all week to research and write and 30+ hours straight of filming and editing. If you like my work and are so inclined to support me further, please consider joining my Patreon. It's still a (WIP), but I hope to one day be able to put out the type of immersive Fantasy that we wish to see, rather depending on these large companies.

I am merely reposting this. I did NOT create this.

Is Federal Government Provoking America’s Armed Citizenry Into Open Confrontation? - Ammoland.com

New York – -(AmmoLand.com)- The majority of Americans must continue to cherish their God-given right to keep and bear firearms.

As long as they make clear their intention to hold onto their firearms, regardless of Government strongarm tactics to disarm them, the forces that seek to dismantle a free Constitutional Republic must exercise caution and circumspection before commencing wholesale confiscation of the citizenry’s firearms.

So, at the moment, they must resort to a war of words to ensnare the mind, and they are good at it.

The puppet-masters propagandists are actively, avidly at work to change the public’s perception of firearms. They are attempting to instill fear and abhorrence of firearms in the psyche of the public, and are encouraging millions of Americans to turn on those Americans who intend to hold fast to their firearms.

And the Government’s stooges, with the assistance of a sympathetic Press, have instilled an abhorrence of firearms in the mind of many average Americans. As many Americans don’t see a purpose to having firearms and/or have a deep-seated personal distaste of them, the Government’s psychological-conditioning program had no discernible effect on them other than to reinforce their internal stance against firearms and firearms possession.

ATF must choose whether to cover for Biden or comply with federal law

by Lee Williams

In late June, Joe Biden announced a new zero-tolerance policy for "rogue gun dealers," who he claimed were responsible for skyrocketing violent crime rates in major cities historically controlled by Democrats.

The violence wasn't caused by weak prosecutors who refuse to hold criminals accountable, or gangs or underfunded police departments or by any combination thereof. It was all the fault of "rogue gun dealers," who Biden claimed willfully transfer firearms to prohibited persons, and/or refuse to cooperate with a tracing request from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Biden's illogical rant produced a bit of head scratching among the gun-rights community. After all, why target Federal Firearm Licensees, who are arguably the most heavily regulated federal license holders. If Joe really wanted to reduce violent crime, why not go after the real criminals instead, such as the 100,000 documented gang members living in Chicago. Hit them with federal RICO statutes, or fire the cowardly prosecutors who won't send them to prison, or both. It all made no sense, unless of course Biden's entire plan was nothing more than a pretext to make life even more hellish for American gun owners, which we all knew was the case. However, saying that a president is lying and proving that he's lying are two different things. We went for the proof.

To vet Biden's rogue gun dealer theory, the Second Amendment Foundation's Investigative Journalism Project immediately sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the ATF, seeking the following:

Copies of documents that show the number of Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) and their state of residence, who have been prosecuted for willfully transferring a firearm to a prohibited person over the past three years (from June 23, 2018 to June 23, 2021.)

Copies of documents that show the number of Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) and their state of residence, who have been prosecuted for ignoring and/or refusing to cooperate with a tracing request from the BATFE, over the past three years (from June 23, 2018 to June 23, 2021.)

(Note: We did not seek the names or other identifiers of any FFL.)

I wish I could take credit for the idea, but I can't. It was Mr. Gottlieb's, and it remains one of the cleverest strategies I've seen in a long time. Alan Gottlieb is the executive vice president and founder of the Second Amendment Foundation.

Our FOIA request was pretty simple, and it would definitely prove or disprove Biden's claims, which everyone, even the ATF, likely knew were false. If the rogue dealers were responsible for the increasing violence, there should be hundreds if not thousands of prosecutions and subsequent FFL revocations. If Biden's claims were false, there would likely be a half-dozen prosecutions in the entire country.

I need to point out this wasn't my first FOIA. During my years as an investigative reporter and editor, I have made hundreds of FOIA requests – local, state, federal and even a few territorial. After your first 100 or so, you start to learn what is in-bounds for FOIA and what isn't. You also get to know how long a response should take. This request was an easy one – a couple of key strokes and it's done. It should have taken a few hours at the most, certainly not days, or even weeks, and definitely not eight months.

Four months passed without a word from the ATF – not even an acknowledgement they had received the FOIA request. Then, in October, the ATF finally admitted it had received the request, but warned it might take even longer to process.

"For your information, this office assigns incoming requests to one of three tracks: simple, complex, or expedited. Each request is then handled on a first-in, first-out basis in relation to other requests in the same track. Simple requests usually receive a response in approximately one month, whereas complex requests necessarily take longer. At this time, your request has been assigned to the complex track," the ATF letter states.

The letter also provided the names of two FOIA liaisons, Darryl Webb and Zina Kornegay. Months of calls and messages left for these alleged liaisons were not returned.

This week, however, after another four months had passed, Kornegay finally answered her phone.

"I'm seeing a bit of back-and-forth," she said of the request. "Let me look into this further. I will try and find out what's going on with this." She refused to say when the ATF would actually respond to the FOIA request. "Let me speak to my team leader," she said. "I do see your request, but there seems to be some back-and-forth about the best way to handle it."

Toothless law

The Freedom of Information Act is federal law. The ATF is a federal law enforcement agency, responsible for enforcing federal law. In a perfect world, that alone should be enough reason for the ATF to quickly comply with any and all FOIA requests. Unfortunately, the ATF's world is far from perfect.

The Biden-Harris administration has weaponized the agency and given it specific orders to infringe upon our right to keep and bear arms. That much is abundantly clear. No law – especially one as anemic as the federal FOIA statute – will stop the ATF from targeting gun owners and gun dealers.

If the ATF or any other federal agency fails to comply with a FOIA request, the requestor doesn't have many options They can file a lawsuit, and if a federal judge determines the agency acted "arbitrarily or capriciously," the court can assess attorney fees, which will be paid with taxpayer dollars.

Also, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel can investigate a FOIA dispute. The OSC can determine whether discipline against the federal employee who improperly withheld the records is warranted, and the offending agency must take whatever corrective action the OSC mandates, but these actions are extremely rare. Actual federal FOIA-related criminal cases are even rarer, practically unheard of.

As a result, most federal agencies – especially one as heavily politicized as the ATF – know there is no easy or timely way that they can be forced to turn over documents they want to conceal from the public.

By comparison, many states have FOIA-type laws that have actual penalties, especially Florida. In the Gunshine State, knowingly violating public records law is a first-degree misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in prison, a $1,000 fine or both. Why the federal government does not have a tough FOIA statute is a question for your elected officials.

Options

The ATF is in a trick-bag of sorts. They can comply with federal law and provide the documents, which will likely reveal that Biden's rogue gun dealer policy is just a ruse concocted by anti-gunners, or they can continue to deny and delay the FOIA request even though their actions violate federal law. I'm starting to wonder if there is anyone left at the ATF who even cares about such things.

The Evolution of Band Maid - Then, Now, and In Between

Band Maid's management company was about ready to disband the ladies, as they had not found much success in their native Japan. Until this song, their Twitter page and other social media accounts started seeing increased traffic.

Someone had posted this video to a J-POP fan group on Facebook and the die was cast. As I said above their management group was about to disband them as the vide for Thrill had used up the last of their budget. So it was either success, or failure at that point. And some unknown individual, posting them to a Facebook group, brought them to the attention of the West.

The ladies of Band Maid worked with songwriters and also submitted their own writing to their management, but were told to keep trying.

According to a post I can't find on Reddit, this song, "Alone" was the first song the ladies of Band Maid wrote that was accepted by their management. Miku Kobato, the rhythm guitarist and co-lead vocalist had written lyrics for a few previous songs, but this was the first song that was written by the band themselves.

The lead guitarist, Kanami Tono, is the main song writer for the group. With the main lyricist being Miku Kobato the rhythm guitarist. Over the years, this has changed, so the principal writing is done by Kanami, which is then tweaked by Akane Hirose the drummer, and MISA, the bassist. And yes, the bass player is a mononym. Hear her play enough and you will agree. Then once the music is set, it is up to Miku to finish up the lyrics and Saiki Atsumi the lead vocalist helps as she knows her own range and style.

Quite honestly, this is just one of their songs which actually makes me tear up. A song of longing and desire as well as a scream of pain in the guitar solo reminding me of loneliness. The visuals of the video just reinforce that loneliness and make this songs impact that much stronger.

Their sound crosses genres, You just can't say they are Rock and Roll, or Pop, or Hard Rock, or Rhythm and Blues, or even Metal. Their music encompasses many genres. As several YouTube Reactors have stated, Band Maid's Genre is Band Maid. And Band Maid's songs are Band Maid doing Band Maid Things.

You will notice that I haven't posted any live video's of them so far. That is because you need the above video's to get your mind and ears ready for "Live Band Maid"

This video is from their Line Cube Shibuya Concert and is the sixth song of their 23 song 2+ hour concert. I will be posting a few more from this concert, but you will now SEE for yourself, the POWER of Band Maid.

This is the 21st song of their 23 song concert, and as you listen to the next song which was the 22nd you will notice, that the ladies go directly from this song into the next one with maybe 4 seconds between them. Just long enough for the ladies to walk back to their pedal boards and set them for the next song.

Did you feel that energy? This was the 22nd song of a 23 song set, that had already been going on for over 2 hours. Can you imagine putting out that much energy for that long, and still performing to the top of your ability?

That coupled with the music is what has drawn me to these ladies. But we're not done yet. There are a few more videos for you to see.

These ladies were all set to perform at one of the bucket list venues, Budokan, when the pandemic hit. When the ladies realized they couldn't perform and meet their fans, they started doing on line concerts. At one of them, they had watchers from 63 country's. They have worked hard, assembled a new album and released it. Had other on line concerts which they then release video's from to their YouTube Page for their fans.

But throughout the pandemic they still missed thier fans. SO they wrote a letter to their fans in a song.

Another song which made me tear up, especially as I had read the translation of the lyrics and the translation of a small staement given by Saiki before they started the song.

But we are back to the begininng. They did a live performance of the song which kept them from crashing and burning. Modified with their new sound, it shows both where they have come from and where they have journeyed to.<br/>

The also released a few other choice tracks from that on line concert.

And I know I posted this just the other day, but I really enjoy it. An acoustic version from their Christmas Day Acoustic online concert.

If any of these videos aren't showing up to be watched, you can watch them all at Band Maid's YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/c/BANDMAID/videos

So please give them a listen. I wish I had the first time I had been recommended their video's. I might have been able to watch their acoustic concert live myself, if I had.

Breaking: New 2A Lawsuit

View this email in your browser

SECOND AMENDMENT FOUNDATION SUES CAL. TO PROTECT GUN OWNER PRIVACY

The Second Amendment Foundation today filed a lawsuit in San Diego County Superior Court against California Attorney General Rob Bonta, challenging the constitutionality of a recently-enacted section of the state Penal Code requiring the state Department of Justice to share private information on millions of gun owners in the state, with the California Firearm Violence Research Center and others.

Joining SAF in this action are the Firearms Policy Coalition, California Gun Rights Foundation, San Diego County Gun Owners PAC, Orange County Gun Owners PAC, Inland Empire Gun Owners PAC and Doe Brandeis, a private citizen. They are represented by attorneys Bradley A. Benbrook and Stephen M. Duvernay with the Benbrook Law Group, PC in Sacramento. The lawsuit is known as Brandeis v. Bonta.

The lawsuit contends disclosure of personal information about California gun owners under provisions of Assembly Bill 173, passed by the Assembly last year, violates their privacy rights, which are specifically protected by the state constitution. This information sharing also violates provisions of Proposition 63, the ammunition background check measure passed by voters back in 2016, which specified that personal information was to remain confidential, and shared "only for law enforcement purposes."

"This is clearly an attempt violate the law, and the constitutional privacy rights of California gun owners for reasons we could only begin to imagine," said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. "This proves once again that gun prohibitionists are willing to trample on laws they previously passed with a new law that violates the rights of gun owners for the alleged purpose of so-called 'research,' the nature of which seems dubious at best.

"In their zeal to treat California gun owners as second- or even third-class citizens, anti-gunners in Sacramento forget that those citizens have rights including the right to privacy," Gottlieb added. "More than 4 California million gun owners have a reasonable expectation that their personal information is protected by the law and the state constitution. We will not stand idly by while their privacy is violated under the guise of research that has nothing at all to do with law enforcement."

BAND-MAID / Manners, BLACK HOLE (Official Live Video)

This one was recorded on my birthday last year. I think that's appropriate. The lead guitarist who wrote the music, for the second song, Black Hole, she asked the drummer, how many beats per minute could she play. The response was 180, she was told, well here, this one is 220.

"Moratorium" by BandMaid

Band Maid is what happens when you forget to turn off Auto Play on YouTube. Which I forgot to do one day. I had been ignoring this Japanese Girl band who dressed up like maids, because I figured they were like Baby Metal. A manufactured group that didn't even play their own instruments or write their own music. After hearing their song "FREEDOM", and then ONSET, I was hooked.

Sorta back

Between health issues and financial issues, I'm sort of back online. Between health issues exacerbating financial issues, and financial issues making some of my health issues worse since I can't afford the Co-pays for CT scans or new MRI's I'm kind of in a Catch-22. At least until I can figure out a way to win the Lottery.
