From: Karen Bedonie
To: Chris Luchini, Efren Gallardo
CC: Crystal Meiwes, Elizabeth Honcee, Elisheva Levin, Mike Blessing, Angela McArdle, Caryn Ann Harlos
Date: Thursday, July 28th, 2022 at 8:45 PM [MST]

Greetings Mr. Luchini,

Recognizing the new situation of the vacancy of Lt. Governor (L), pursuant NMSA 1978, Section 1-8-8(A), in respect to the January 31, 2022 Secretary of State Declaration date requirement, my campaign for Governor respectfully submits Efren Gallardo, Jr. for Lt. Governor (L). After careful consideration, we know that the urban corridors of Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Las Cruces are the greatest concentration of this election and will need a perfect strategic candidate to tip the win. We also know that roughly 60% of the New Mexico voting base is of Spanish speaking descent. Among all other qualities and requirements our campaign sought after, we are happy to affirm our choice. We graciously support Efren Gallardo Jr. for Lt. Governor to join the Bedonie Campaign for Governor on the Libertarian ticket. The Mr. Gallardo is a New Mexico Spanish speaking Native and a highly respected professional in the major urban settings of Albuquerque / Las Cruces. Mr. Gallardo has huge family ties across the state and will be a major asset in the current time crunch and he is the only candidate that we recommend. He is a registered Libertarian and will bring a very positive and powerful light to the campaign and to the party. Below is his contact information.

Once his candidacy is official, we can have our campaign(s) move to add his name to our statewide support. Our campaign is heating up and time is of the essence. We truly feel we have the greatest opportunity in this election with Mr. Gallardo. Please feel free to contact the campaign at [Phone number REDACTED — MWB]. Mrs. Crystal Meiwes will kindly direct your inquiry to me in my many rural infrastructural-communication challenges. We look forward to hearing from you and receiving Mr. Gallardo’s candidacy submission to the SOS. God bless.

LT. GOVERNOR CANDIDATE:
EFREN GALLARDO JR.
[Contact information REDACTED — MWB]

Yours in Freedom and Liberty,
Karen E. Bedonie

COVIDaphobia Mania Running Wild Again?!

Memes, Politics, Self-Defense, Reading, Viewing

Today (Tuesday, 19 July 2022) I saw this post on Facebook highlighting the heroic actions of one Elisjsha Dicken, who neutralized the Greenwood Park Mall shooter in Indiana as a benefit of exercising his individual, human, Constitutional right to own and carry weapons.

H/T “100% Anti-Democrat” Facebook page — Tuesday, July 19, 2022 at 7:46 PM MST

OK, so the top part of the post is good to go —

Ison explained to WRTV, Dicken’s first shot at the gunman was from 40-50 yards away and it appeared the very first shot hit the gunman.

Dicken was able to hit the gunman with additional rounds.

And more still —

Not the Bee
Tuesday, July 19, 2022 at 6:08 PM MST

22-year-old Elisjsha Dicken neutralized the Greenwood Park Mall shooter within 15 seconds. He engaged the bad guy from 40-50 yards away and 8 of the 10 rounds he fired found their target. He has no CPL and was carrying a pistol under Constitutional Carry. He is not ex-military or police, and has no formal training. His grandfather taught him how to shoot. Raise a glass this evening to American hero Elisjsha Dicken.

OK, folks, this is the bizarre part —

NOWHERE in the text posted by the “Not The Bee” page’s admin(s) is there ANY mention of the Beer Bug.

So did Facebook’s “fact checkers” mistakenly attach a warning about Koof misinformation to this post?

Or maybe Facebook is trying to smear a story supporting the Second Amendment narrative by hook or by crook, using the approach of “throw your underwear against the wall and see if it sticks” ?

Frank Martin
If you want to hold something as important as a constitutional convention, you MUST have the technology work.

The Party needs to do this right. Give people enough notice, get a better platform—such as Zoom. Pay for good tech. This is the ultimate shit show.

Drake Lundstrom Can you send me a link to where it was posted on the website?

Helen Milenski If you are a member please call in and indentify yourself for record.

socialismo52 Put me in the screen cap!

Michael Tomac I have been a monthly dues paying member for 2+ years, but according to what the Chair said I am not eligible to vote right?

rebecca An accident making the the tech unusable is unacceptable. A good leader has back ups in place especially considering the mess of the AV system at the March convention.

socialismo52 Take your shirt off, Tom!

rebecca Agreed

Frank Martin Rebecca, is Chris’ screen blurry for you? I cannot read anything on it except that he needs to update his browser.

rebecca I can’t read anything! It’s just comical at this point.

Frank Martin Thanks, i just wanted to be sure it wasn’t just my computer.

rebecca Assuming

Drake Lundstrom If you watch the feed at a delay, it is not as blurry

Drake Lundstrom The executive conference call has as good audio as the main stream

Burly Cain The audio is very good for us here.

Drake Lundstrom The problem is that we can only hear Chris.

Frank Martin And that, only half the time…

Frank Martin Worst meeting ever. I actually feel sorry for him.

Drake Lundstrom Watching on a delay (I am a few minutes behind) his audio is fine. I think that part is a buffering issue

Frank Martin How do you watch on a delay?

Cory Tallman Continuing this with this many issues seems like a disservice to the LPNM

Drake Lundstrom Slide the time marker back. I started watching late and wanted to watch from the beginning

Frank Martin Thanks Drake

Drake Lundstrom I finally caught up! (I have been watching at 2x to catch up) and now the audio is completely falling apart

Panda Are people there having the same problems?

Drake Lundstrom Probably not, YouTube encoders run separately from the meeting

Frank Martin This meeting sure is rolling right along, how can anyone keep up?

socialismo52 plz clap

rebecca 😂

Drake Lundstrom The biggest YouTube issue isn’t the buffering, it is that we can only hear Chris’s audio. Can someone tell him that literally no one else’s audio is being recorded?

Frank Martin ?

Frank Martin I delayed the playback but still have buffering issues.

rebecca how does one recruit new members when this is what they see?

Frank Martin Its a puzzle! Its a riddle! Its a… constitutional convention agenda item!

LPNM Webmaster The call is now being recorded

LPNM Webmaster (the Google Meet call)

rebecca What minutes did the recoding start please?

“Gun Debate 2022” ? Nothing of the Sort!

Photograph by Mike Blessing — Friday, 8 July 2022 at 9:50 PM MST

The op-ed page for for Thursday, July 7, 2022 [A11] titled “Gun Debate 2022” was nothing of the sort, in that there was NOTHING from the side supporting the individual right to own and carry weapons.

Rather, it would be better to label it as a full-page advertisement for the victim disarmament cause, dressed up as an op-ed page.

I call the anti-gun movement “victim disarmament” because it’s mostly the criminals’ victims who are going to be disarmed by their proposals — the five-foot, hundred-pound woman being stalked by the crazed six-foot, two-hundred-pound ex-boyfriend, the disabled little old lady, poor people, etc.

You see, the criminals and terrorists keep finding that massive loophole in the victim disarmers’ schemes called “breaking the law.”

Even the token “conservative,” Eligio Padilla, spouted off with the anti-gun talking points about “weapons of war.”

And you seriously wonder why the modern media is so distrusted nowadays?!

“No One Wants To Take Your Guns,” v. 06-22-2022

Last year (Tuesday, 8 June 2021), one “MikeWrites” said that when hoplophobes and victim disarmers say that they don’t want to “take your guns” (forciby disarm you), that he isn’t in that crowd, and that he DOES want to take your guns.

H/T Larry Correia — Wednesday, June 22, 2022 at 1:41 PM MST

Some notes and thoughts about this post —

The post in question (Tuesday, 8 June 2021) has apparently been deleted.

Mr. “MikeWrites” styles himself as a writer, yet apparently won’t post his real name. It’s understandable to not use your full name when explicitly stating that you’re willing to use deadly force to deprive others of liberty and property in order to have your momentary warm fuzzy that you “made a difference” and “got something done.”

What “MikeWrites” DOES do is post profilicly on Twitter (the first four letters of “Twitter” describe him to a tee).

It’s also apparent that “MikeWrites” hasn’t read “2nd Amendment and the Kool-aid Drinkers” by Command Sergeant Major (CSM) Paul Howe (U.S. Army (Retired))

Basically, CSM Howe was an “assaulter” with the “Delta Force” (1st Special Forces, Operational Detachment Delta). His 8-to-5, Monday-to-Friday occupation was dynamic-entry and close-quarter combat — when he wasn’t training for such operations, he was either on actual ops or training others to run such ops.

In “2nd Amendment and the Kool Aid Drinkers,” CSM Howe makes the case that enforcing firearms confiscation on a large scale will be a fools’ errand at best, and a bloodbath at worst, with the disarmament crowd’s enforcers suffering significant casualties. And that’s for people who train for this sort of thing as their day job.

Chances are that when “MikeWrites” says he’s OK with uncooperative gun owners being killed en masse in the name of victim disarmament, he’s not willing to “stack up” and do the wet work himself. He’ll be wanting to schluff the getting hands dirty part off onto law enforcement.

You see, “stacking up” and getting shot at by those of us unwilling to surrender liberty and property upon the demand of “MikeWrites” for his warm fuzzy of the day — well, that just might get in the way of “MikeWrites” posting pictures of his dinner plates to Twitter.

It’s also a good bet that “MikeWrites” was on board with the calls to “defund the police” in 2020, in response to the murder of George Floyd.

So he wants the people he expects to get shot at for his pet cause (victim disarmament) to do so, but without all of the weapons and ammo that they will insist on having for the task?

“MikeWrites” should also consider these facts:

• The law-enforcement types that he expects and demands to his wet work for him consistently, to the tune of 60 to 70 percent, say that they don’t want anything to do with the victim disarmament cause. (I refer again to “2nd Amendment and the Kool-aid Drinkers.”)
• In the states where restrictive laws have been implemented, compliance is spotty at best. Connecticut insisted that “assault weapon” owners register them after the Sandy Hook massacre — only five percent or so actually did, and state government there gave up insisting that everyone register them after it turned out that 68% of Connecticut’s cops would be among those required to register.
• America has the world’s largest amount of firearms already in the civilian sector. F-Troop (“BATFE”) estimates that number to be around 300-320 million. Other estimates push the number as much as twice or three times the official estimate.
• America has the world’s largest supply of precision machine tools. I read a comment posted to an article by a machinist that said it wouldn’t matter if guns were illegal — all he needed was time and metal, and he could make any weapon he wanted.
• America has 12,000 miles of basically unenforceable borders and coastlines. Law enforcement only stops about five percent of the drugs being smuggled into the country. When the powers that be outlaw a commodity that’s in demand, whether it’s unsanctioned drugs or unsanctioned labor, someone will find a way to make money in satisfying that demand. Outlawing guns will simply allow organized crime, whether it’s the Mafia that was supposedly wiped out, the biker gangs or the street gangs, to get further into the weapons market.
• Most of America’s food production areas (“Flyover Country” is what Frau Reichsecretary Hillary’s friends call it) is decidely pro-gun. Is he prepared and willing to raise your own vegetables, grain, beef, fish, pork, chickens?

In short, Mr. “MikeWrites,” it’s time for you and yours to shit or get off the pot.

“Stack up” or shut up, “MikeWrites” !
