Question in general to anyone?
I am a Christian. I am an American. I value liberty and freedom. I am a father and grandfather.
Here in North Georgia, I am making my stand against evil forces determined to destroy America.
How fortunate we all are to have civiliandefenseforce.org !
Something I forgot to mention about myself.
I am what known as a Stringer and have been for a few decades, a stringer is a news gathering freelancer, versus a person who is employed by a station.
I started out with stills shot on 35mm black and white film, mostly Kodak Tri-X, I used Tri-X because it can be pushed, this allowed me to take shots where I didn't have enough light and and in the darkroom push up the ISO of the film with a minor gain in grain and it also worked well for nudes because of the ability to change it grain in the darkroom, if I didn't get just perfect pre, many times I could fix it in post, saving face and my expense by having to bother the client or model with a re-shoot out of my pocket.
As the cost of HD video camcorders started to get into my price range, that is under $5K, I bought a couple of JVC GY-HD200 camcorders, at the time FOX News pushed out a notice they would no longer buy video clips that where not at least 720P 16.9 ratio and the JVC's did better than that.
This is an example of the process, I heard a police chase out in Davie on my monitor, I was in the area they where heading East, they where heading West on Griffin Road.
I stepped it up a bit and then heard there's been a crash, guy on a bicycle hit EMS needed Code 3, figuring Griffin would be shut down I cut over to Orange Drive and setup across a canal from the crash, what I captured was the driver of the vehicle being perused removed from his vehicle and hauled off.
I offered the video to three stations, WTVJ channel 6 agreed to buy a exclusive copy for 5 and 6 PM.
This is what they used of it.
One cannot produce video like that with a cell phone, that thirty second clip put $300 in my pocket.
That aside and to the core of this post, I have the knowledge and equipment to produce very nice High Definition videos and am pretty good at editing.
A such I am quite willing to work with anyone who wish's to produce a video related to the nature of this forum.
I do not work for free, I am willing to work on a trade for basis, that is I get a split of the profit the video produces.
And keep in mind, I am not a director or producer, I do not have the artistic talents to be either, I am a technical person, I can make things happen as directed to do, as such you must be one or have one willing to work as part of a team.

Welcome to the forum, I haven't been here long but have found the forum to be shall I say more friendly but still on track.
I subscribe to another similar forum, but it seems to be almost dangerous to be part of, too many people willing to go lethal, versus solving the problem and I learned a long time ago there's only two types of people who fit that profile braggers who would probably hide in a corner and wet their pants when something hit the fan, or real nutjobs looking for a reason to shoot.
Both are useless for what this forum is about, one contributes nothing and the other attracts attention that no one wants or needs.
54 Y.O Rertired Army Officer (Mustang) good health, I live in the Midwest (Dakotas). Glad to have stumbled on the site. Pretty quiet where I am, but let there be no mistake, we as citizens MUST stand together.
"... I learned a long time ago there's only two types of people who fit that profile braggers who would probably hide in a corner and wet their pants when something hit the fan, or real nutjobs looking for a reason to shoot."
I think there is a third type: Russian trolls, part of something called glavset in Russian, which we can translate as the "Internet Research Agency", who are doing their best to start shoot-outs among Americans. I think they were/are a major component of the 'boogaloo' insanity, and they must be rubbing their hands in glee at what has been happening in the US over the last few months. [More information about glavset here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Research_Agency]
The old KGB were masters of 'disinformation' operations, and their descendants have inherited their expertise and inclination to run this sort of almost cost-less operation.
If this site starts to become seriously influential among patriots, we can absolutely count on it receiving the attentions of the glavset people. The last thing they want is to see the growing anger among patriots at the destruction of their country, channelled into something really serious.
They will try to stir up bad blood among patriots -- between this site and other patriotic sites, especially other pro-militia sites, by, among other things, creating fake emails and social media posts that appear to come from one group, denouncing others .... so be sure to double-check anything that appears to be from another group that appears designed to stir up animosity within the movement.
It might not be from them at all, but from some nasty little guy in St Petersburg.
More sophisticated methods would include creating sock puppets that register with a site, begin posting innocuous things, and then work up to things designed to get us fighting among each other. (On another conservative site, I've noticed one guy whose posts seem designed, deliberately, to drive away all decent people ... he's supposedly a conservative, but routinely calls other conservatives 'liars' and 'cowards' and similar things ... he may just be a disturbed personality, but if so, he's doing glavset's work for free.)
Best thing to do with these ppl. Banned!!!

We're already the target of the Russians; we get probed about 700 times per day by Russian and Ukrainian bots looking for vulnerabilities. That's not the same thing, obviously, but it shows you their dedication to the craft of infiltration in some form or another.
We'll have infiltrators. That's a given. We have protocols in place for it, and a pretty robust intel team of our own--but like so many other things, if you remember the movie "Roadhouse" and act accordingly, most things can be solved simply. BE NICE. When they say something stupid, BE NICE. When they insult your mother, BE NICE. Be nice, until it's time to NOT BE NICE. Usually when that time comes, I'll be the one to not be nice. Be around me enough, or watch my posts enough, and you'll get a pretty good idea of when the time to NOT BE NICE is coming. When it does, you usually won't have to worry about it because the ban hammer will already be deployed.
The best you can do is never, ever go off half-cocked. Don't fly off he handle. Don't be reactionary. We aren't that kind of organization, so to speak, and we don't need to be that kind of people. Most of what's wrong in this world right now is caused either BY reactionary people, or cause by the people who do things to get reactionary people revved up. Be calm. Be thoughtful. Be wise. Don't be knee-jerk. Investigate, or let us investigate. Other than that, go on about your day. Troublemakers will be dealt with.
They always are.

I'm not prone to letting that happen because to do so I have surrender control of my emotions to someone else which means I let them own me.
Something I don't do anymore, I'm the type you see at a rally with a camcorder on my shoulder while some moron screaming at me so loudly he's spitting my shirt, while I stay framed and rolling, and grinning, which piss's such types to a degree they give themselves a coronary.
Or they take a swing and then it's see ya in court time.
Male, 27 years old, married, Central Pennsylvania. Have a 3 month old baby girl. Ready to fight for and defend my freedoms in this country. Well prepared and stocked up. Anxious to see where this thing goes. I also found a reference to this organization on Zero Hedge & figured I'd check it out. Happy to be here.
