"It was the dark of the moon on the 6th of June in a Kenworth pullin' logs..." Bill Fries aka CW McCall performs Convoy on the Mike Douglas Show (August 1976)

Tea Parties happened organically BECAUSE we have each other. Hence, terrorists, tyrants and those who intend harm to our freedom and constitution know they MUST isolate us by CONTROLLING the INTERNET and phone communication when it hits the fan. (Articles on that subject are featured in at cbPatriot.) The CB Patriot Project is the place to join patriots from around America who have already joined the project to assure we can still communicate and congregate - just as we did in 2008 when the tea parties began to rise up. Social media was not nearly as relevant when we started...

NEW ORLEANS – San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver has made inflammatory comments regarding homosexuality in football just a few days before Super Bowl XLVII. Shock jock Artie Lange revealed he had interviewed Culliver at media day Tuesday and aired a segment on his show that night, where the player insisted that any gay players would not be welcome on the team. "I don't do the gay guys man," said Culliver, whose Niners play the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. "I don't do that. No, we don't got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here...

"The only thing we learn from history is that we never learn from history. If you read Augustine’s City of God and how consumed the people of Rome were with entertainment, luxury and sexual deviance - and then compare it to the immoral state of this nation, the United States overlaps perfectly with the state of Rome before it was sacked by the Visigoths. Another thing we are going to see repeated is the evil that follows the lust for power by people of a sinful nature when tolerated by a society of narcissistic degenerates. Polls show that over 60%...

According to a report from Marketwatch, At Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting in Omaha, Chairman Warren Buffett raised more than a few eyebrows when he said that, “The United States is not going to have a debt crisis as long as we keep issuing our debts in our own currency. The only thing we have to worry about is the printing press and inflation.” He took some heat for that statement. I think it is a bit odd to contend that we don’t already have a debt crisis. If we don't have a DEBT crisis, then we certainly have a CURRENCY...

Americans are dangerously inter-dependent upon cell phone towers and Internet servers throughout the nation. Whether intentional or by natural disaster, ALL of these can be instantly shut down during “emergencies”. The CB Patriot Project is organizing around a simple technology and making it the back-bone of an emergency plan. By linking patriotic Americans across their homes, cities, states & country, we will be prepared for national or regional emergencies that could otherwise shut down our ability to communicate with one another. After the financial meltdown of 2007 and the 2008 elections, millions of Americans organically organized and united with one...

Think of what it will be like one day if we wake up one morning, turn on the television and find out the Internet and cell phone networks have been shut down due to a financial meldown or some other inconceivable event. Despite having formed "tea party" and similar groups all around the country, we find ourselves isolated and unable to mobilize anyone. With no way to communicate, millions would find comfort in the prospect of gathering somewhere with all those local patriots once again. But where do we meet? What day? What time? It is exactly THAT scenario that...

Freepers: Due to last night's storms in Central Arkansas, our family found out the HARD WAY just how important communications (commo) is when the power goes out, telephone lines get blown down, the cell towers are destroyed, and we are left in the dark with multiple tornados inbound.Anyways, I wanted to solicit Freepers help on unconventional communications with family such as Citizen Band (CB), FRS, GMRS, etc. I am going to attend our Central Arkansas Ham Radio meeting next month and see about going "one step further" to get my ham radio license. Please read below for my situational needs.

I want to thank you for getting involved with the CB Patriot Project. I am excited about the initial response considering this project was launched just this past week. The fact is that we have members joining us from our home state of Florida all the way across the US as far as California & Oregon. For those who signed up to participate, we will be reaching out to you from time to time to organize as we fill up more areas with like-minded and like-value patriots. "Test runs" will follow once we have enough members among us. That will...

I'm amazed at how little attention was given to the fact that Obama has been seeking the power to shut down the Internet in the event of a "national emergency". I mean, the legislation was propounded before the uprisings in Egypt and Libya occurred and it is amazing how the dictators in those countries attempted the SAME EXACT thing. However, it is noteworthy that those dictators were actually emulating Obama because he made his move before the middle-east uprisings beginning with Egypt. It's quite shameful that the media barely made a peep when this would-be dictator obama attempted to promulgate...

It's very telling that the Saboteur has been fighting for a "kill switch" for the entire Internet. In the past couple years we have seen things we never thought possible. What do you make of a mystery President about whom most know so little - and who wants sole power to shut down free speech in the event of a vague “national emergency”? In what the hell kind of "emergency" would it benefit free Americans – not to be able to communicate with one another? I recently joined what I consider an important project to prepare for “emergencies” called The...

When a major calamity like an earthquake strikes, your cellphone isn't likely to help you any more than an Internet hookup or a telephone land line. There's a strong chance none of these will work, at least not in the first tumultuous hours after the temblor strikes. That's where REACT, or the Radio Emergency Associated Communication Team, comes in. Dedicated to the use of two-way radio communication with area authorities, government agencies and other organizations, the 12-member Antelope Valley REACT is on call and ready to respond 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, throughout the Antelope Valley and...

May be considered a vanity, sorry to start out that way if it is, but Looks like CB at "My War" has hung it up Follow the link to see why it looks that way, I dont want to repost his stuff...

He has a convoy - but no CBs U.S. Lt. in Iraq asks public help By Bartholomew Sullivan Contact reporter Copyright 2003, The Commercial Appeal November 2, 2003 While they're transporting heavy equipment in an Iraqi war zone where roadside bombings make regular headlines, members of the 1175th Heavy Equipment Transport Battalion based in Brownsville, Tenn., can't communicate truck-to-truck. But instead of waiting for the Pentagon to provide the communications assistance, the unit's commander has gone hat-in-hand to the people of the Mid-South. Lt. Thomas 'Hud' Moore, commander of a detachment that carries heavy tanks and gear from a base...

It may be just a coincidence that former Washington Redskins star Darrell Green acts like a member of Congress, with a battery of aides helping him manage his busy schedule, but it’s not surprising that a lot of people would like to have him on their team. As he did on the football field before retiring last year, Green is keeping his options open. When Republicans held their recent retreat at The Greenbriar resort in West Virginia, the future Hall of Famer was invited to give a pep talk on what he called “the fundamental aspects of the Republican charter.”...
