YOUR Personal Security:

NEVER DELEGATE YOUR PERSONAL SECURITY

 TO ANYONE ELSE.

I'm not saying that it's easy .. but it really IS simple.

If you'd like to argue with me about this - please do as I'd love to feel more secure .. there's a comments section below - but first read this linked story about the deadly volcanic eruption on White Island:

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/118219897/after-whakaariwhite-island-its-up-to-us-to-save-ourselves?fbclid=IwAR2voNsEi74y59AJQKNHdKUeH1WKREjG3w8x0GXqRvHy-N6nGpmbyAgNQ9k

AFTER An Event Presence .. Sure:

- Here's a couple of quotes from respected individuals:

Real schools ought to provide people with techniques of self-defense, but that would mean teaching the truth about the world and about the society, - and schools couldn't survive very long if they did that. Noam Chomsky

and:  Your physical safety is up to you, as it really always has been. Jeff Cooper 

Sadly we now live in a time when our NZ police-state is strongly restricting the basic human right to SELF DEFENCE. - while at the same time they are imposing BANS on a wide range of firearms that far exceed their publicly announced policies.

Truly .. if you think that 'Civil Defence' or 'The Police' or 'ACC' or even 'The Army' are there to help you and will prevent any harm happening to you and yours - I'm sad to say but there is one word (in one of our official languages) that describes this belief .. DELUDED.

- I must admit that the Fire Service and The Ambulance Service exceptionally are heroic.

I fully understand that our "British" NZ society includes services such as social security, unemployment payments, pensions, law enforcement, etc - but ACCESS to these services is increasingly restricted for normal tax payers. 

- Observe that our nations 'management team' are providing themselves with personal armed police security while your local police station may be closed or 'unmanned' .. while Police suggest in their Arms Code .. that you "Contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau or City or District Council for advice on how to defend your self. They can advise you of self defence courses or groups in your area."

.. The builder who sells you your home has LIMITED LIABILITY by law .. do you?

P.S.

21 January - today's Active Response Training post from Greg Ellifritz ('No-one is coming to save you') in USA ends this way:

"The reality is that while there are some cops who are extremely well trained and competent, most couldn’t save themselves in an exceptionally violent physical attack.  Why are you depending on them to save you? - My friend Dave Spaulding says: “You must be an active participant in your own rescue.”  Truer words have never been spoken.

 If you want to keep yourself and your family safe, you can’t simply outsource your protection to others."
