Eds Manifesto

Photo of the day: Gun control in Mexico

Photo of the day: Gun control in Mexico

Pictured here are a few of the “Fast and the Furious” guns. Found like most, in the hands of some very bad people in a very bad place. I lost a few friends to guns that were later linked back to this operation, so when I speak about it I do so with a very […]

ZZZ Custom Works | Inside The Waistband concealed carry magazine pouch

ZZZ Custom Works | Inside The Waistband concealed carry magazine pouch

Being low-key is a big factor for the places I work and move around in. Any sort of 5.11 type clothing is just not used and concealment is life and death at times as far as handguns. Real estate on my waist is expensive. And avoiding printing of a magazine holster is at times difficult. Recently got my hands […]

How much weaponry is enough?

How much weaponry is enough?

Miyamoto Musashi authored ‘The Book of Five Rings‘, which rumor has it that it’s recommended reading for DEVGRU operators. Reading the book about DEVGRU operator Adam Brown (Fearless), he mentions having to read The Book of Five Rings. If you haven’t read it, I recommend it. Miyamoto Musashi has some great wisdom that’s applicable to the modern […]

Photo of the day: Keep you EDC bag close by

Photo of the day: Keep you EDC bag close by

Experience and failures have made me always keep my bag close by. When getting into a taxi or Uber I always have my backpack with me, between my legs. Usually, I tie one of the drawstrings from my Pocket Candy La Manga-Tenegui’ to the bag and the other end to my belt as an added […]

Weapons of the Criminal Element | The London Attackers Knife

Knives of the Criminal Element | The London Attackers Knife

One of the knives used by the London terrorist attackers in June of 2017. Note the selection of a non-metallic blade to circumvent metal detectors and the dedication to grip and retention of the knife by adding an elastic cord on its handle. Ceramic knives depending on the place of fabrication and company might have […]

The Sicarii Assassins and the Emerson Persian Tactical Knife Design

The Sicarii Assassins and the Emerson Persian Tactical Knife Design

The Sicarii (one of the most fanatical black ops organizations of the ancient world). The Sicarii operated in the shadows of the ancient world. In Latin, Sicarii is the plural form of Sicarius meaning “dagger-man” or “dagger-wielder”. The Sicarii were deeply motivated by their beliefs in God, Freedom and the independence of their country. These […]

“light carry items for a few days of urban movement and exploring.” – Ed’s Manifesto

Mexican cartels and their weapons

Mexican cartels and their weapons

People are jokingly commenting on a past post asking what gun stores these came from. Well short answer. Most of the military grade stuff comes from South America and can be traced to US and Soviet shipments to a few countries back in the late 80’s. They were used to set up or dismantle governments […]

Weapon of choice for embedded human intel assets

Weapon of choice for embedded human intel assets

Just had one of those midnight conversations with a one of my brother’s. He is a guy that I can’t talk about all that much, but he is very much a part of what the Manifesto is and he is an integral member of our Advanced Development Group. I mention him as Brujo Negro ( […]

Some thoughts on finger print phone locks

Some thoughts on finger print phone locks

Finger print phone locks are a mayor weakness on anyone’s life if traveling somewhere that can expose you to an unfriendly group that might get a hold of you and pressure you in to unlocking the phone for them so they can exploit all the information on it. Stick to pass codes and try to […]
