About Joe Doakes’ Place...


Joe Doakes’ Place is the blog rendition of The Integrated Close Combat Forum aka ICCF. ICCF and JDP are family oriented way-places for women and men, the young and old, the ignorant and adroit, to seek and share knowledge of all facets of subjects such as close combat (or so-called self-defense) with or devoid of weaponry, home security, basic first-aid, emergency preparedness/survival, and multitude of other related issues. They are places where WE ALL CAN LEARN AND HELP EACH OTHER.

Both JDP and ICCF differentiate between the needs of the non-professional aka “the average citizen”, the police/law enforcement officer, and the armed forces member, the highly skilled and the first day rookie, the young and old, the healthy/athletic types and those of us who are no longer very healthy and/or very athletic. As well, JDP and ICCF do not overlook the specific sub-categories thereof either, e.g. an infirmed person, a traffic officer, a working single mother, the urbanite, suburbanite, or ruralite, et cetera. While certain skills and equipment overlap, individual circumstance will dictate the essential suggestions, instructions and guidance.

We respect, with vigilance, that the issues, queries, information, ideas, and so forth, presented here be viewed from the perspective of an archetypal individual, a Jane or John Doe if you will. Neither JDP or ICCF are a professionals or instructor based forum, quite the contrary in fact.

JDP and ICCF recognize that there is rarely an unadulterated culminating mechanism or methodology, in other words, there are no absolutes (death and taxes notwithstanding). We consider that there are right ways and wrong ways, there are (most importantly) safe ways and unsafe ways, there are your ways and there are my ways. Nevertheless, as long as your way WORKS FOR YOU it's THE way insofar as you are concerned.

The bottom line is both Joe Doakes’ Place and The Integrated Close Combat Forum seeks and offers real-life concepts, guidance, and solutions to real-life concerns for real-people by real-people.

Take care and stay safe,
Joe Doakes aka Kilogulf59

How and Why the Electoral College Works...

How it works first. Below is a well made and easy to understand video by Keith Highs entitled "The Electoral College for Dummies: How it Works". Keith Hughes has taught US History and AP Government for the past 15 years as well as edu classes in New Literacy and Technology for the Graduate School of Education at the University of Buffalo. Keith recently signed with LeftField Pictures and is currently a talking face on the H2 show, "United Stuff of America" and filming for "American Badasses". HipHughes History is a series of upbeat, personable and educational lectures designed for students and lifelong learners. Videos primarily focus on US History and Politics but span across World History and general interest. Videos are perfect for Social Studies flippers, desperate crammers and the cray cray on the internets. So sit back and enjoy the antics of HipHughes as he melds multimodality into a learning experience. And always remember, "Where attention go...

Democracy versus Republic

Read and learn...we ARE NOT a Democracy! This is important as your RIGHTS depend upon you knowing the distinction...   Democracy versus Republic These succinct definitions of what is Democracy and what is a Republic was produced by the US Army in 1928, These definitions have been quietly withdrawn since, soon after. Democracy: A government of the masses. Authority derived through mass meeting or any other form of "direct" expression. Results in mobocracy. Attitude toward property is communistic-negating property rights. Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate. whether it be based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences. Results in demagogism license, agitation, discontent, anarchy. Democracy is the "direct" rule of the people and has been repeatedly tried without success. A certain Professor Alexander Fraser Tytler, nearly two centuries ago, had this to sa...

From the now defunct Shooter's carnival site...videos and photos added by me... The 5 Main Firing Positions For Rifle To get all you can out of using a rifle you must be familiar with the 5 main positions. The 5 Main Firing Positions For Rifle To get all you can out of using a rifle you must be familiar with the 5 main positions. They have been taught by our military for decades & everyone who wishes to shoot a rifle well should be knowledgeable of them. This is not a treatise on the intricacies of each position. Many people have written many volumes on the subject. I am merely trying to explain the basics. Before we discuss the shooting positions themselves first we should look at some things common to all shooting positions: Natural Point of Aim. This is where the rifle is aimed when your body is completely relaxed. Hold your rifle on the target. Close your eyes for a second or two and then open your eyes again. If the sights are not on the target it’s because th...
