Americans who are "suspicious of centralized federal authority, reverent of individual liberty" deemed domestic threat<br />

<br />
A new study funded by the Department of Homeland Security characterizes Americans who are "suspicious of centralized federal authority," and "reverent of individual liberty" as "extreme right-wing" terrorists.<br />
<br />
Entitled Hot Spots of Terrorism and Other Crimes in the United States, 1970-2008 (<i><b><a href="http://start.umd.edu/start/publications/research_briefs/LaFree_Bersani_HotSpotsOfUSTerrorism.pdf" target="_blank">PDF</a></b></i>), the study was produced by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism at the University of Maryland. The organization was launched with the aid of DHS funding to the tune of $12 million dollars.<br />
<br />
While largely omitting Islamic terrorism - <i><b><a href="http://www.ruthfullyyours.com/2012/06/14/homeland-security-funded-study-pushing-tea-party-terrorism-narrative-patrick-poole/">the report fails completely to mention</a></b></i> the 1993 World Trade Center bombing – the study focuses on Americans who hold beliefs shared by the vast majority of conservatives and libertarians and puts them in the context of radical extremism.<br />
<br />
The report takes its definitions from a 2011 study entitled Profiles of Perpetrators of Terrorism, produced by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, in which the following characteristics are used to identify terrorists.<br />
<br />
- Americans who believe their "way of life" is under attack;<br />
<br />
- Americans who are "fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation)";<br />
<br />
- People who consider themselves "anti-global" (presumably those who are wary of the loss of American sovereignty);<br />
<br />
- Americans who are "suspicious of centralized federal authority";<br />
<br />
- Americans who are "reverent of individual liberty";<br />
<br />
- People who "believe in conspiracy theories that involve grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty."</blockquote>
Happy Independence Day.<br />

I found this a couple of months ago:<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.whoseparanoid.com/id/dbdbcm.gif" /><br />
<br />
And it made me think of just how far most people in this country have let slip their desire for freedom and liberty- so much so, that I remembered this:<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.whoseparanoid.com/id/patriots.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Then, two days ago, my compadre No-Neck sent this to me:<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.whoseparanoid.com/id/mf.gif" /><br />
<br />
I knew this would be true and I thought long and hard about these men:<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.whoseparanoid.com/id/bso.jpg" /><br />
<br />
The men, whose history is unknown by so many- and cared for by even less, gave us our start on this path and that so many of the men of their day were willing to do this:<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.whoseparanoid.com/id/mur.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Understand, they were <b><i>traitors</i></b> to their government, they <b><i>conspired</i></b> to commit acts that would bring certain death down upon them and their families, and I must ask, how many are willing, today, to risk the same?<br />
<br />
Vin Suprynowicz has a column that has been around the net since he first wrote it in 1997, and it is well worth <b><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20021018171913/http://www.privacyalert.us/Samples/Column-2001-07-04.htm" target="_blank">reading</a></b> and then contemplating, particularly in light of recent laws, regulations and SCOTUS announcements.<br />
<br />
Happy Independence Day!<br />

Since then, as everyone knows, it has only become worse. Day in and out, it has not stopped, the thieving, raping, and killing of These united States peoples- by what is best explained in the following quote from the movie THE PATRIOT by Mel Gibson's character:<br />
<blockquote>
<i>"Why should I trade one tyrant 3000 miles away for 3000 tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a king can."</i></blockquote>
Which EVERY legislature, FEDERAL, State and Local has done and for <b>so many</b> this state of affairs IS intolerable! Quite frankly, simply reading the Declaration of Independence is an exercise in pure anger today. <br />
<br />
This document, something fully never said to the World before is utterly amazing and to this day frightens people. About ten years ago, I had a telephone conversation with a friend from High School. He started in about how overwhelming the federal government "was" becoming and I let him talk for a goodly bit and then told him I wanted to read him something that listed quite a number of crimes the government was committing and he agreed. I went through around a fifteen items and said there were a dozen more Facts. When I finished, his voice lowered and he said, "If you publish this, they will kill you." I then told him that this was not my work and that the government had indeed killed some of the men who had signed and published it. He was not surprised and asked when it was and I told him, July 4th, 1776. There was a very long pause as what I had just told him sunk in.<br />
<br />
Yes, I had paraphrased in modern English the Facts set forth in the <b><a href="http://whoseparanoid.blogspot.com/2011/07/declaration-of-independence.html" target="_blank">Declaration of Independence</a></b> and used examples that were recent in our history with each one- which is not hard to do.<br />
<br />
And this is the problem, it is not hard to do.<br />
<br />
I no longer think that the first three of the four boxes will solve anything in the state our fallen Republic and see the opening of <b><a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&biw=1382&q=soap+box%2C+ballot+box%2C+jury+box&btnG=Search" target="_blank">the last box</a></b> as the outcome- not on the horizon, but beached and is not something that is truly wanted- but something that is utterly obvious.<br />
<br />
Enjoy this Independence Day with your family and friends, as always, we never know when our last will be so live today with every ounce of liberty our Founding Fathers wanted and bequeathed to us, because <b><i>it is up to us to keep</i></b>- even though most are happy to piss theirs away.<br />
<br />
I think I am going to put some lead downrange.<br />

<br />
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,<br />
<br />
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.<br />
<br />
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.— That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.— Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.<br />
<ul>
<li>He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.</li>
<li>He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.</li>
<li>He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. </li>
<li>He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. </li>
<li>He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.</li>
<li>He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.</li>
<li>He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.</li>
<li>He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.</li>
<li>He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.</li>
<li>He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.</li>
<li>He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.</li>
<li>He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.</li>
<li>He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:</li>
<li>For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:</li>
<li>For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:</li>
<li>For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:</li>
<li>For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: </li>
<li>For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:</li>
<li>For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences</li>
<li>For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:</li>
<li>For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:</li>
<li>For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.</li>
<li>He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.</li>
<li>He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. </li>
<li>He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy of the Head of a civilized nation.</li>
<li>He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. </li>
<li>He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.<br />
</li>
</ul>
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.<br />
<br />
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.<br />
<br />
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.<br />

<br />
Today, May 6, 2013 is the 149th anniversary of the supreme sacrifice that the <b><a href="http://www.hoodstexasbrigade.org/pages/history.html" target="_blank">Texas Brigade</a></b> made in the Wilderness of Virginia. <br />
<br />
The Army of Northern Virginia(ANV) was on the verge of being split in two by the massive attack of Hancock's and Burnside's corps along the Orange Plank Road employing 5 divisions against A. P. Hill's defense line of 2 divisions. Relentlessly the Federals pushed their way almost unopposed up the Orange Plank Road until they approached the Widow Tapp's farm - the only cleared area in the vicinity. General Lee and his staff watched nervously as A.P. Hill's Corp was disintegrating by the massive Federal assault. The situation for the ANV was critical. General Lee sent General Wilcox to hurry General Longstreet and the 1st Corps forward. <br />
<br />
The Texas Brigade - 800 Texans and Arkansans -- in the front of Longstreet's Corps advanced at the double-quick with tattered battle flags flying and surged down the Orange Plank Road ready for action. A scene of utter confusion met their eyes as they approached the rear of A.P. Hill's fast disappearing battle line. <br />
<br />
As General Gregg - C.O. of the Texas Brigade - was forming the Brigade in line from column-of-fours, General Lee approached General Gregg and inquired of him what troops was he commanding. "The Texas Brigade," Gregg proudly answered. " I am glad to see it!" replied Lee, adding, "When you go in there, I wish you to give those men the cold steel. They will stand and fire all day, and never move unless you charge them." Saluting General Lee, Gregg took his leave, rode to the center of the Texas Brigade and shouted: "Attention, Texas Brigade! The eyes... of General Lee... are upon you! Forward...march." <br />
<br />
One of the most famous and dramatic incidents of the war occurred at this moment - the famous "Lee to the rear" episode. Lee removed his gray felt hat and lifting himself in the stirrups was heard to say by those soldiers nearest him, "Texans always move them!" General Lee greatly affected by the response to his words, moved through the opening in the Texas Brigade and attempted to lead the Texans as they started their advance. As General Lee urged Traveller on, several of the soldiers nearest him sprang to the front and surrounding Traveller , grabbed at the reins in an effort to stay General Lee's forward course. Words to the effect of "General Lee to the rear," "We won't move until you go back," Go back General Lee, go back," were heard. <br />
<br />
As General Gregg advanced across the clearing of the Widow Tapp's farm, his regiments were aligned in what had become their usual battle order - the 3rd Arkansas on the left and the 1st, 4th, and 5th Texas posted in that order on the Arkansans' right. <br />
<br />
And so the Texas Brigade crashed into the Federal infantry and thus saved the ANV from probable destruction that day - but the cost was staggering - of 800 Texas Brigade men less than half stood standing and more would die later - and the Texas Brigade after that day for all practical purposes ceased to be an effective military combat force due to their meager numbers - less than 10% of the number in the Old Brigade just three years earlier. <br />
<br />
YES - this day was Texas' Finest Hour. <br />
<br />
Long Remember. <br />

<li>In 1775 - Feral agents of the government came to take our arms away and the "<b><a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Shot+heard+%27round+the+World%22" target="_blank">Shot heard round the World</a></b>" was answered by many great men. One in particular needs mentioning, as I am sure if he had been alive in 1993, he would have done the same thing.</li>
</ul>
His name was <b><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/19970117131609/http://www.thehistorynet.com/MilitaryHistory/articles/06963_text.htm" target="_blank">Sam Whittemore</a></b> and:<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;"></span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: 85%; font-style: italic;">"There, before the eyes of his astonished family, Sam methodically loaded his musket and both of his famed dueling pistols, put his powder and ball inside his worn and well-traveled military knapsack, strapped his French saber around his waist, squared his grizzled jaw and, as he strode briskly out the door, simply informed his worried family that he was "going to fight the British regulars" and told them to remain safely indoors until he returned.</span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-size: 85%; font-style: italic;">Whittemore walked to a secluded position behind a stone wall on Mystic Street, near the corner of what is now Chestnut Street in Arlington, and calmly settled in. Some of the Minutemen pleaded with Whittemore to join them in their safer positions, but he ignored their admonitions. Soon the 47th Regiment of Foot, followed by the main body of British troops, appeared in view. On both sides of Whittemore, Minutemen were shooting at the approaching Redcoats and then sprinting away to where they could reload in safety. </span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-size: 85%; font-style: italic;">Waiting until the regiment was almost upon him, Whittemore stood up, aimed his musket carefully and fired, killing a British soldier. He then fired both dueling pistols, hitting both of his targets, killing one man outright and mortally wounding another. Not having time to reload his cumbersome weapons, he grabbed his French saber and flailed away at the cursing, enraged Redcoats who now surrounded him. Some of those infuriated soldiers were probably less than one quarter of Sam's 80 years; few, if any, were even half his age. </span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-size: 85%; font-style: italic;">One Englishman fired his Brown Bess almost point-blank into Whittemore's face, the heavy bullet tearing half his cheek away and knocking him flat on his back. Undaunted, Whittemore attempted to rise and continue the fight, but received no less than 13 bayonet wounds from the vengeful Redcoats. They also mercilessly clubbed his bleeding head and drove their musket butts into his body as they ran by. </span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-size: 85%; font-style: italic;">When the last Britisher had left the scene and was far enough away for them to come out in safety, the villagers who had seen Whittemore's last stand walked slowly toward the body. To their astonishment, he was still alive and conscious--and still full of fight! Ignoring his wounds, he was feebly trying to load his musket for a parting shot at the retreating regiment. </span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-size: 85%; font-style: italic;">A door was used as a makeshift stretcher and Whittemore was carried to the nearby Cooper Tavern. Doctor Nathaniel Tufts of Medford stripped away Sam's torn, bloody clothing and was aghast at his many gaping bayonet wounds, the other numerous bruises and lacerations, and his horrible facial injury. According to every medical text Tufts had ever studied and all of his years of experience treating injured people, the old man should have bled to death from internal injuries."</span></blockquote>
That old glorious bastard did not die though, he lived another eighteen (18) years and when asked if he ever regretted his actions, Sam replied:<br />
<blockquote style="font-style: italic;">
"No! I would take the same chance again!"</blockquote>
For those partaking of the Appleseed’s across the nation today, for the Oath Keepers who have re-sworn their oaths, and for those that simply understand what our Founding Fathers bequeathed to us- from the signing of the Deceleration of Independence, the Constitution and the demand for the inclusion of the Bill of Rights, I remind you what today is, what we have lost, and what lies on the road ahead and what will be ours once more. Go forth, it is time.<br />

WPWhose Paranoidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11343051743245594464noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6866095.post-85209121509317863152013-03-02T00:01:00.000-06:002013-03-02T00:01:00.792-06:00Texas Independence Day!<blockquote>
The Unanimous Declaration of Independence made by the Delegates of the People of Texas in General Convention at the town of Washington on the 2nd day of March 1836.<br />
<br />
When a government has ceased to protect the lives, liberty and property of the people, from whom its legitimate powers are derived, and for the advancement of whose happiness it was instituted, and so far from being a guarantee for the enjoyment of those inestimable and inalienable rights, becomes an instrument in the hands of evil rulers for their oppression.<br />
<br />
When the Federal Republican Constitution of their country, which they have sworn to support, no longer has a substantial existence, and the whole nature of their government has been forcibly changed, without their consent, from a restricted federative republic, composed of sovereign states, to a consolidated central military despotism, in which every interest is disregarded but that of the army and the priesthood, both the eternal enemies of civil liberty, the everready minions of power, and the usual instruments of tyrants.<br />
<br />
When, long after the spirit of the constitution has departed, moderation is at length so far lost by those in power, that even the semblance of freedom is removed, and the forms themselves of the constitution discontinued, and so far from their petitions and remonstrances being regarded, the agents who bear them are thrown into dungeons, and mercenary armies sent forth to force a new government upon them at the point of the bayonet.<br />
<br />
When, in consequence of such acts of malfeasance and abdication on the part of the government, anarchy prevails, and civil society is dissolved into its original elements. In such a crisis, the first law of nature, the right of self-preservation, the inherent and inalienable rights of the people to appeal to first principles, and take their political affairs into their own hands in extreme cases, enjoins it as a right towards themselves, and a sacred obligation to their posterity, to abolish such government, and create another in its stead, calculated to rescue them from impending dangers, and to secure their future welfare and happiness.<br />
<br />
Nations, as well as individuals, are amenable for their acts to the public opinion of mankind. A statement of a part of our grievances is therefore submitted to an impartial world, in justification of the hazardous but unavoidable step now taken, of severing our political connection with the Mexican people, and assuming an independent attitude among the nations of the earth.<br />
<br />
The Mexican government, by its colonization laws, invited and induced the Anglo-American population of Texas to colonize its wilderness under the pledged faith of a written constitution, that they should continue to enjoy that constitutional liberty and republican government to which they had been habituated in the land of their birth, the United States of America.<br />
<br />
In this expectation they have been cruelly disappointed, inasmuch as the Mexican nation has acquiesced in the late changes made in the government by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, who having overturned the constitution of his country, now offers us the cruel alternative, either to abandon our homes, acquired by so many privations, or submit to the most intolerable of all tyranny, the combined despotism of the sword and the priesthood.<br />
<br />
It has sacrificed our welfare to the state of Coahuila, by which our interests have been continually depressed through a jealous and partial course of legislation, carried on at a far distant seat of government, by a hostile majority, in an unknown tongue, and this too, notwithstanding we have petitioned in the humblest terms for the establishment of a separate state government, and have, in accordance with the provisions of the national constitution, presented to the general Congress a republican constitution, which was, without just cause, contemptuously rejected.<br />
<br />
It incarcerated in a dungeon, for a long time, one of our citizens, for no other cause but a zealous endeavor to procure the acceptance of our constitution, and the establishment of a state government.<br />
<br />
It has failed and refused to secure, on a firm basis, the right of trial by jury, that palladium of civil liberty, and only safe guarantee for the life, liberty, and property of the citizen.<br />
<br />
It has failed to establish any public system of education, although possessed of almost boundless resources, (the public domain,) and although it is an axiom in political science, that unless a people are educated and enlightened, it is idle to expect the continuance of civil liberty, or the capacity for self government.<br />
<br />
It has suffered the military commandants, stationed among us, to exercise arbitrary acts of oppression and tyrrany, thus trampling upon the most sacred rights of the citizens, and rendering the military superior to the civil power.<br />
<br />
It has dissolved, by force of arms, the state Congress of Coahuila and Texas, and obliged our representatives to fly for their lives from the seat of government, thus depriving us of the fundamental political right of representation.<br />
<br />
It has demanded the surrender of a number of our citizens, and ordered military detachments to seize and carry them into the Interior for trial, in contempt of the civil authorities, and in defiance of the laws and the constitution.<br />
<br />
It has made piratical attacks upon our commerce, by commissioning foreign desperadoes, and authorizing them to seize our vessels, and convey the property of our citizens to far distant ports for confiscation.<br />
<br />
It denies us the right of worshipping the Almighty according to the dictates of our own conscience, by the support of a national religion, calculated to promote the temporal interest of its human functionaries, rather than the glory of the true and living God.<br />
<br />
It has demanded us to deliver up our arms, which are essential to our defence, the rightful property of freemen, and formidable only to tyrannical governments.<br />
<br />
It has invaded our country both by sea and by land, with intent to lay waste our territory, and drive us from our homes; and has now a large mercenary army advancing, to carry on against us a war of extermination.<br />
<br />
It has, through its emissaries, incited the merciless savage, with the tomahawk and scalping knife, to massacre the inhabitants of our defenseless frontiers.<br />
<br />
It hath been, during the whole time of our connection with it, the contemptible sport and victim of successive military revolutions, and hath continually exhibited every characteristic of a weak, corrupt, and tyrranical government.<br />
<br />
These, and other grievances, were patiently borne by the people of Texas, untill they reached that point at which forbearance ceases to be a virtue. We then took up arms in defence of the national constitution. We appealed to our Mexican brethren for assistance. Our appeal has been made in vain. Though months have elapsed, no sympathetic response has yet been heard from the Interior. We are, therefore, forced to the melancholy conclusion, that the Mexican people have acquiesced in the destruction of their liberty, and the substitution therfor of a military government; that they are unfit to be free, and incapable of self government.<br />
<br />
The necessity of self-preservation, therefore, now decrees our eternal political separation.<br />
<br />
We, therefore, the delegates with plenary powers of the people of Texas, in solemn convention assembled, appealing to a candid world for the necessities of our condition, do hereby resolve and declare, that our political connection with the Mexican nation has forever ended, and that the people of Texas do now constitute a free, Sovereign, and independent republic, and are fully invested with all the rights and attributes which properly belong to independent nations; and, conscious of the rectitude of our intentions, we fearlessly and confidently commit the issue to the decision of the Supreme arbiter of the destinies of nations.<br />

February 25, 1836<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
HEADQUARTERS,
FORT OF THE ALAMO: Sir; On the 23rd of Feb., the enemy in large force
entered the city of Bexar, which could not be prevented, as I had not
sufficient force to occupy both positions. Col. Bartes, the
Adjutant-Major of the President-General Santa Anna, demanded a surrender
at discretion, calling us foreign rebels. I answered them with a cannon
shot, upon which the enemy commenced a bombardment with a five inch
howitzer, which together with a heavy cannonade, has been kept up
incessantly ever since. I instantly sent express to Col. Fannin, at
Goliad, and to the people of Gonzales and San Felipe. Today at 10
o'clock a.m. some two or three hundred Mexicans crossed the river below
and came up under cover of the houses until they arrived within virtual
point blank shot, when we opened a heavy discharge of grape and canister
on them, together with a well directed fire from small arms which
forced them to halt and take shelter in the houses about 90 or 100 yards
from our batteries. The action continued to rage about two hours, when
the enemy retreated in confusion, dragging many of their dead and
wounded.<br />
<br />
During the action, the enemy kept up a
constant bombardment and discharge of balls, grape, and canister. We
know from actual observation that many of the enemy were wounded --
while we, on our part, have not lost a man. Two or three of our men have
been slightly scratched by pieces of rock, but have not been disabled. I
take great pleasure in stating that both officers and men conducted
themselves with firmness and bravery. Lieutenant Simmons of cavalry
acting as infantry, and Captains Carey, Dickinson and Blair of the
artillery, rendered essential service, and Charles Despallier and Robert
Brown gallantly sallied out and set fire to houses which afforded the
enemy shelter, in the face of enemy fire. Indeed, the whole of the men
who were brought into action conducted themselves with such heroism that
it would be injustice to discriminate. The Hon. David Crockett was seen
at all points, animating the men to do their duty. Our numbers are few
and the enemy still continues to approximate his works to ours. I have
every reason to apprehend an attack from his whole force very soon; but I
shall hold out to the last extremity, hoping to secure reinforcements
in a day or two. Do hasten on aid to me as rapidly as possible, as from
the superior number of the enemy, it will be impossible for us to keep
them out much longer. If they overpower us, we fall a sacrifice at the
shrine of our country, and we hope prosperity and our country will do
our memory justice. Give me help, oh my country! Victory or Death!<br />

All Americans In The World --<br />
February 24, 1836<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
Fellow citizens & compatriots --<br />
<br />
I
am beseiged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna -- I
have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours
& have not lost a man -- The enemy has demanded a surrender at
discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the
fort is taken -- I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, &
our flag still waves proudly from the walls -- I shall never surrender
or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism,
& every thing dear to the American character, to come to our aid,
with all dispatch -- The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily &
will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days.
If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as
possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his
own honor & that of his country --<br />
<br />
VICTORY OR DEATH<br />
<br />
William Barret Travis<br />
Lt. Col. Comdt.<br />
<br />
P.S.
The Lord is on our side -- When the enemy appeared in sight we had not
three bushels of corn -- We have since found in deserted houses 80 or 90
bushels & got into the walls 20 or 30 head of Beeves -- Travis</blockquote>

February 23, 1836<br />
<blockquote>
COMMANDANCY
OF BEXAR, 3 o'clock p.m.: The enemy in large force are in sight. We
want men and provisions. Send them to us. We have 150 men and are
determined to defend the Alamo to the last. Give us assistance.<br />
<br />
P.S. Send an express to San Felipe with news night and day.</blockquote>
<br />
From W.B. Travis and James Bowie<br />
To James W. Fannin (at Goliad)<br />
February 23, 1836<br />
<blockquote>
COMMANDANCY
OF BEXAR: We have removed all the men to the Alamo where we make such
resistance as is due our honor, and that of a country, until we can get
assistance from you, which we expect you to forward immediately. In this
extremity, we hope you will send us all the men you can spare promptly.
We have one hundred and forty six men, who are determined never to
retreat. We have but little provisions, but enough to serve us till you
and your men arrive. We deem it unnecessary to repeat to a brave
officer, who knows his duty, that we call on him for assistance.</blockquote>

(CNSNews.com) – Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told a House panel Thursday that a reduction in the number of human beings born in the United States will compensate employers and insurers for the cost of complying with the new HHS mandate that will require all health-care plans to cover sterilizations and all FDA-approved contraceptives, including those that cause abortions.<br />
<br />
"The reduction in the number of pregnancies compensates for the cost of contraception," Sebelius said. She went on to say the estimated cost is "down not up."<br />
<br />
AND<br />
<br />
"Who pays for it? There's no such thing as a free service," Murphy asked.<br />
<br />
Sebelius responded that that is not the case with insurance.<br />
<br />
"The reduction in the number of pregnancies compensates for cost of contraception," Sebelius answered.<br />
<br />
Murphy expressed surprise by the answer.<br />
<br />
"So you are saying, by not having babies born, we are going to save money on health care?" Murphy asked.<br />
<br />
Sebelius replied, "Providing contraception is a critical preventive health benefit for women and for their children."<br />
<br />
Murphy again sought clarification.<br />
<br />
"Not having babies born is a critical benefit. This is absolutely amazing to me. I yield back," he said.<br />
<br />
Sebelius responded, "Family planning is a critical health benefit in this country, according to the Institute of Medicine."</blockquote>Sure Bitch, <b><a href="https://ixquick.com/do/search?q=Agenda+21" target="_blank"

<br />
<blockquote><b>RAID ON RUBY RIDGE </b><br />
<br />
The Randy Weaver story began sometime in 1989. There is no record as to when the ATF decided to target Randy Weaver for an "illegal weapons" sale. We do know that on October 24, 1989, he sold two shotguns, the barrels of which might have been 1/4" under the 18" minimum "legal" length. <br />
<br />
The two 12ga. shotguns, one an H&R single shot and the other a Remington pump, were sold to a "good friend" who asked Weaver to shorten the barrels. Weaver did not know the "good friend" was an undercover ATF informant. <br />
<br />
For reasons of their own, ATF did nothing for 8 months. Then Weaver was approached by two ATF agents who made him "an offer he couldn't refuse." That offer was to spy on the Aryan Nations or go to jail. Weaver refused to be intimidated. Six months later he was indicted on the weapons charge. <br />
<br />
On January 17, 1991, Randy and Vici, his wife, started into town to purchase supplies. They came across a pickup truck with its hood up. The vehicle appeared stalled. A man and a woman flagged Weaver down. As Randy stepped out of his ehicle, ATF agents swarmed out of the camper on the back of the "stalled" pickup. They knocked Vici to the ground and placed a cocked 9mm pistol against Randy's neck. <br />
<br />
Weaver was then taken before a federal magistrate for arraignment. It was later learned that the magistrate cited the wrong law in charging Weaver. Weaver was released on bond. He and Vici returned to their cabin, vowing never to have any more dealings with the federal court system. <br />
<br />
A hearing was placed on the docket of the Federal Court in Moscow, Idaho. Weaver was notified by letter to appear on march 20, 1991. Unfortunately, the actual hearing date was February 20, 1991. The U.S. Marshall Service believed, at this point, that the case was a bust. But when Weaver failed to appear in March, U.S. Attorney Ron Howen decided to take a chance and go to the grand jury. Weaver was indicted for failure to appear. <br />
<br />
Normal procedure would have been to revoke Weaver's bail bond, issue an arrest warrant an pick Weaver up. Instead, the Marshall Service began what they referred to as "Operation Northern Exposure." The operation consisted of teams of marshals hidden around the cabin, jet reconnaissance over flights for aerial photo analysis by the Defense mapping Agency and high revolution video which was used to gather 160 hours of film. This surveillance went on for sixteen months at a cost of $13,000 a week. <br />
<br />
Finally, the Marshal Service brought in U.S. Marshal William Degan to <br />
"plan a successful conclusion of the job." <br />
<br />
Degan, a member of the Special Operations Group, was leading the assault on August 21, 1992. The marshals were dressed in camouflage uniforms and face masks. They were armed with semi-automatic pistols and M16s. Degan carried a suppressed MS5 light machine gun. <br />
<br />
Knowing that the Weaver's owned dogs, the marshals tossed some rocks toward the cabin. Striker, Sammy Weaver's golden retriever, barked and went to the noise. Sammy and Kevin Harris thought Striker had jumper a deer. They picked up their rifles and followed to dog. <br />
<br />
Suddenly a marshal fired a burst and killed Striker. Sammy fired toward the agent. Randy heard the gun fire and yelled at Sammy to return to the cabin. Sammy answer "I'm coming ,Dad." He turned and started running toward the cabin when Degan cut him down with a burst from his machine gun. One bullet hit Sammy in the arm, a second hit the boy in the back, killing him instantly. Kevin Harris, using a bolt <br />
action Remington 721, shot William Degan in the chest. Degan died almost instantly. <br />
<br />
Randy, Vici and their daughters were still at the cabin. Keep in mind that Harris' shot killing Degan was the last shot fired by anyone not a federal agent. <br />
<br />
Later that day, under the cover of darkness, Harris and Randy went out and recovered Sammy's body. They placed it in the out-building adjacent to the cabin. They then washed the body, then returned to the cabin. <br />
<br />
At this point, any honorable intentions the government may have had were abandoned. With a boy and a marshal dead, the government spinmeisters went into high gear. The feds spent the next 16 months, from the beginning of the siege until the Weaver/Harris trial in Federal court painting Randy as a racist (white supremacist vs. a separatist), an anti-semitic and a criminal. They magically transformed his 2x4 and plywood shack into a "mountain fortress" then a bunker and finally a <br />
"stronghold protected by a cache of 15 weapons and ammunition capable of piercing armored personnel carriers." As a matter of fact, none of Weaver's firearms are on the list of banned "assault weapons" in the Crime Control Act of 1994. <br />
<br />
The marshals told the press that Harris fired first and that he had kept them pinned down with one bolt action rifle against full-auto M16s and MS5 light machine guns. <br />
<br />
Degan's death triggered a call that brought in reinforcements. Soon Weaver's cabin was surrounded by FBI, ATF, U.S. marshals, Idaho State and local police plus National Guard troops. <br />
<br />
Richard Rogers was in command of the contingent of the FBI Hostage Rescue Team2 which were deployed as snipers around the cabin. Rogers, while in flight to Ruby Ridge, rewrote the "Rules for Engagement." Normally, federal law enforcement personnel may fire only when facing death or grievous harm. This is generally taken to mean they will return fire but not initiate it. Rogers new orders were literally a death warrant for the adults, both male and female. <br />
<br />
The new rules read: <br />
<br />
"If any adult in the compound is observed with a weapon after the surrender announcement is made, deadly force can and should be employed to neutralize the individual." <br />
<br />
The new rules further stated "If any male is observed with a weapon prior to the announcement, deadly force can and should be employed if the shot can be taken without endangering the children." <br />
<br />
Gene Glenn, the FBI agent in overall command, told the New york Times that Weaver was holding the children hostage. This is the same ploy the Feds later used at Waco. <br />
<br />
The Feds still did not have any negotiators present nor had any attempt be made to contact the Weavers when Randy, Sara, his oldest daughter and Kevin harris left the cabin to go to the shed were Sammy's body lay. <br />
<br />
The FBI sniper, Lon Horiuchi, would later testify in court that he "could hit within a ¬" of a mark at 200" yards. But on this date his shooting was no were near that good. Horiuchi placed the scope cross hairs on Randy Weaver's spine just below the where the neck and shoulders joined. The bullet missed its mark and hit him in the arm instead. When asked in court did he intend to kill Weaver, Horiuchi <br />
answered "Yes, sir." <br />
<br />
Sara jumped between her father and Horiuchi. She later told Jess Walters, a reporter for the 'Spokesman Review', "If they were going to shoot someone, I was going to make them shoot a kid." <br />
<br />
Sara continued to shield her father and pushed him back to the cabin with Harris following. Sara and Randy moved past Vici who was standing in the cabin doorway. As Harris moved by Vici, who was holding their 10 month old daughter, Horiuchi fired again, striking Vici in the head. Bone fragments from her skull struck Kevin Harris, critically wounding him. <br />
<br />
Later, the FBI made several contradictory statements. In an internal report, the FBI indicated that Vici was indeed the intended target. This seems to be verified by the claim made by Bo Gritz, a former Viet Nam war hero called in to negotiate at Weaver's insistence. Gritz stated that he had seen a FBI profile which instructed the agents "to take Vici Weaver out if the opportunity arose." They told the press <br />
that they did not know Horiuchi had killed Vici Weaver, but they also told a 'New York Times' stringer they were "using a listening device that allowed them to hear conversations, and even heard the baby's cries in the cabin." <br />
<br />
Jess Walter's story of his interview with Sara Weaver continued "Elisheba cried all night. She was saying 'Mama, mama, mama.' Dad was crying and saying 'I know baby. Your momma's gone." <br />
<br />
And like Waco, the FBI began a pyops operation; that is psychological warfare. "They come out late at night and say, 'Come out and talk to us, Mrs. Weaver,' or 'Good morning, Randall. How'd you sleep? We're having pancakes. What are you having?" <br />
<br />
After word of Vici's death got out to the media, the Feds claimed she was killed "in an exchange of gunfire." But the only gunfire had been the two shots fire by agent Horiuchi. <br />
<br />
Kevin harris' condition continued to worsen, and on August 30, 1992 he surrendered. The following day Randy Weaver walked out of the cabin and gave up. <br />
<br />
The federal agencies continued to vilify Weaver and Harris to the press. They apparently believed if they could convict Weaver in the press, they could convict him in court. <br />
<br />
Gerry Spence, the lawyer for both Harris and Weaver, did not put on any defense. Instead, he merely cross examined the federal agents. The half-truths and out-right lies told under oath convinced the jury to find Weaver guilty of only one charge, failure to appear in court on the very same weapons charge they found him not guilty of committing. Harris also was found not guilty. Rather, the jury found that the Weaver/Harris' had acted in self defense. <br />
<br />
To this very day, the AFT and FBI continue to lie to the news media and the public over their actions at Ruby Ridge. This can not be tolerated for any reason. <br />
<br />
1 A shotgun barrel under 18" is not illegal. Under the National Firearms Act of 1934, it does require the firearm be registered with the ATF and a fee be paid. The Supreme Court case of the U.S. vs Staples in 1939 was over non-payment of the fee, not the legality of "sawed-off" shotguns. <br />
<br />
2 The FBI Hostage Rescue Teams were under Larry Pott's supervision at Ruby Ridge. Agent Richard Rogers was AIC during the siege, but this does not mitigate Pott's responsibility, especially since he used the same tactics during the Waco Invasion. <br />

In self-defense, a family friend, Kevin Harris, who was staying with the Weavers, fired in response and killed one of the Marshals at <b><a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Ruby_Ridge" target="_blank">Ruby Ridge, Idaho</a></b>.<br />
<br />
Over twelve days, Randy Weaver, Sammy's Father, was shot in the back while entering the shack, next to their home, to visit his murdered sons body and severely wounded by FBI HRT sniper <b><a href="http://www.nndb.com/people/007/000028920/" target="_blank">Lon Horiuchi</a></b>. The next round fired by this murderer blew Vicki Weavers (Sammy's Mother) head off while she cradled her 10-month baby girl Elisheba in her arms. The round continued on striking and wounding Kevin Harris in the chest.<br />
<br />
Many of you reading this may think that the murderer Horiuchi was being fired upon, but you are wrong because the Rules of Engagement (ROE) had been changed to the following:<br />
<blockquote>1. If any adult male is observed with a weapon prior to the announcement, deadly force can and should be employed, if the shot can be taken without endangering any children.<br />
2. If any adult in the compound is observed with a weapon after the surrender announcement is made, and is not attempting to surrender, deadly force can and should be employed to neutralize the individual.<br />
3. If compromised by any animal, particularly the dogs, that animal should be eliminated.<br />
4. Any subjects other than Randall Weaver, Vicki Weaver, Kevin Harris, presenting threats of death or grievous bodily harm, the FBI rules of deadly force are in effect. Deadly force can be utilized to prevent the death or grievous bodily injury to oneself or that of another</blockquote>Standard FBI deadly force rules are this:<br />
<blockquote>"Agents are not to use deadly force against any person except as necessary in self-defense or the defense of another, when they have reason to believe they or another are in danger of death or grievous bodily harm. Whenever feasible, verbal warning should be given before deadly force is applied."</blockquote><b><a href="http://www.zpub.com/notes/fbi-shame.html" target="_blank">This license-to-kill was so obviously un-Constitutional and immoral, that members from Denver, Colorado SWAT, (assigned to the siege) agreed amongst themselves that they would NOT follow it</a></b>. Obviously, the lessons taught by the Nuremberg and My-Lai Trials of "just following orders" were not lost to these men nor were the morals of our once proud Republic.<br />
<br />
This started the first of the sieges on US Citizens that were public and subsequent wide spread discovery by the public of just how often the ATF, US Marshals, FBI and other such government funded JBT and their handlers lie.<br />
<br />
Here is an example of lies pointed out about Randy Weaver, written by FBI Assistant Director Danny Coulson on August 24th, 1992 in a memo:<br />
<blockquote><i><b><a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Ruby_Ridge#OPR%20004477" target="_blank">OPR 004477</a></b><br />
Something to Consider<br />
1. Charge against Weaver is Bull Shit.<br />
2. No one saw Weaver do any shooting.<br />
3. Vicki has no charges against her.<br />
4. Weaver's defense. He ran down the hill to see what dog was barking at. Some guys in camys shot his dog. Started shooting at him. Killed his son. Harris did the shooting [of Degan]. He [Weaver] is in pretty strong legal position."</i></blockquote>Understand, this was written DURING the siege of Ruby Ridge- AFTER Vicki Weaver had been murdered.<br />
<br />
Since then, we had Lon Horiuchi also murder at Waco, another ATF/FBI war on the citizens of the Republic that wound up burning alive 86 children, women and men after a 51-day siege upon their Church. Horiuchi was there to shoot those trying to flee the flames. For his reward, he was kept out of the spotlight, after the charges of manslaughter were stripped from the State of Idaho, and in 2008 made <b><a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2138289/posts" target="_blank">a spokesman for HS-Precision</a></b>, a company once held in high esteem by the shooting public for their ultra high-quality stocks though used primarily, it seems, by Jack Booted Thugs (think US government letter agencies) now.<br />
<br />
There have been other <b><a href="http://ladyliberty-2000.tripod.com/index19.html" target="_blank">less well known instances</a></b>, others with less than such horrible endings as Ruby Ridge and Waco, but there were others directly blamed on these two events. However, the most troubling aspect of Ruby Ridge, beyond the event itself, the immoral murders of Sammy and Vicky, the lies perpetrated upon Randy and his family is the militarization of police forces across the Republic. This was denied for many years, but even Soldier of Fortune, in a full cover of their March 1999 issue had a lengthy article detailing this. Unfortunately, I can no longer find it on SOF's site, even the cover PDF, but did find the complete article at FOX News and you can read it <b><a href="http://www.foxnews.com/printer_friendly_story/0,3566,17515,00.html" target="_blank">here</a></b>. From near the end of the article:<br />
<blockquote><i>Made-For-TV Nightmare<br />
<br />
None of the cop/soldier blur is a secret. Rather, it's what a blur is supposed to be confusing. Night-after-night, American TV audiences are treated to real-life cop shows in which SWAT teams, dressed in camouflage or black, break through doors and hold suspects to the floor with the aid of fully automatic weapons in order to confiscate cocaine, marijuana or heroine in varying amounts.<br />
<br />
In local newspapers and on local TV, police departments show-off new programs in which Navy SEALS train local officers. Police chiefs and sheriffs brag of acquiring helicopters, armored personnel carriers and airplanes from the federal government's post-Cold War military surplus programs.<br />
<br />
One World Wide Web site (<b><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20020202002406/http://www.policeguide.com/swat.htm" target="_blank">www.policeguide.com/swat.htm</a></b>) features links to 50 colorful home pages of local yokel SWAT teams throughout the United States, in Mayberry settings like Ames, Iowa, and Spartanburg, S.C.<br />
<br />
"It's all being done out in the open, and many people don't see it as frightening," says defense lawyer Blewitt. "That's because Americans have been conditioned to think it will only affect criminals. They've been convinced society is being destroyed by crime, even though violent crime has steadily decreased in recent years, and these military-style police are our only hope. What they should worry about is an emerging police state that threatens the very fabric of free society."</i></blockquote>On June 1st, 2011 I posted <b><a href="http://whoseparanoid.blogspot.com/2011/06/tl-in-exile-hardcore.html" target="_blank">TL IN EXILE - Hardcore</a></b> in response to TL's just outrage over the murder of <b><a href="https://ixquick.com/do/metasearch.pl?q=Jose+Guerena" target="_blank">Jose Guerena</a></b> but this was just one more on the march to the Republic's full oppression.

</ul>What I have presented here are facts, facts from some of the events over the past nineteen years of atrocities that have numbed most of the Republic- desensitized them to what is coming and that is a crash on a scale of proportions not seen before. Unlike "Global Warming", this is man-made, and we allowed it to occur.<br />
<br />
Since 1913, the legislation and tools have been increased for the Republics destruction and the militarization of police is just one key aspect of it.<br />
<br />
Near the top, in the right column of this blog is a set of cross-hairs on a bouncing hour-ball, has been there for a very long time and it is titled: How long before it is YOU? <br />
<br />
There are so many things working for our destruction; plans, legislation, sown distrust, and simple ignorance created by a false sense of trust in our supposed leaders. How long indeed is the proper question.<br />
<br />
Our Founding Fathers, knew what tyranny is- they left us the tools to keep it at bay, we let those tools rust and squandered their wisdom but I will not forget these words:<br />
<blockquote><i>"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined." Patrick Henry</i></blockquote>I firmly think, unfortunately, it is nearly time that atrocities such as these, and others will be happening once again. And if you do not believe or think so, then read yesterdays post.<br />

<br />
Feds retaliate against another critic of the U.S. government.<br />
<br />
SALEM / RICHMOND) - A decorated U.S. Marine who served his nation in two wars, Brandon Raub, of Richmond Virginia, was arrested for airing his critical views of the U.S. government on Facebook this weekend. We just reported yesterday that a Human Rights activist in Bahrain is being prosecuted for six Twitter messages. Politically, this country is increasingly resembling Bahrain and other nations that arrest those who speak out critically over federal policy.<br />
<br />
His mother, Kathleen Thomas, says it is another case of the word 'terrorist' being applied to arrest and detain a citizen. You can hear the pride she feels for her son when she explains what he has been through, and by all counts Ms. Thomas makes her points loud and clear.<br />
<br />
The law enforcement officials rolled up to the man's home around 7:00 last night. "He was there, the FBI, Secret Service and Chesterfield Police showed up in a storm," she said.<br />
<br />
Thomas says her son was questioned about why he was writing certain comments, "He basically said 'I have some disagreements with the government and share this', and they said, 'You have to go with us'".<br />
<br />
"He was handcuffed, not read his rights, put into a Chesterfield Police Department vehicle and taken to John Randolph Psychiatric Hospital in Hopewell, Virginia," Thomas said.<br />
<br />
Agent Sherry Grainger with the Federal Bureau of Investigation called Kathleen Thomas, who described the conversation. <br />
<br />
She said, "I am with the FBI" and "We have taken your son. He has been arrested by the Chesterfield County Police Dept because he assaulted an officer and resisted arrest. He has been arrested and taken to the Chesterfield Police Department."</blockquote>Why did the feds require the locals to arrest him?<br />
<br />
Why did they arrest him?<br />
<br />
Why did the local PD loose information on his arrest?<br />
<br />
Why was he sent for examination in a mental institution?<br />
<br />
You know why- those in positions of power, our elected officials and their bureaucratic JBT's (Jackboot Thugs) are very nervous and have decided to send a message and the message is Brandon Raub.<br />
<br />
If you have spent anytime reading his Facebook postings, his notes and even his pictures you will note that these postings are just like MILLIONS of other Citizens posting all across the Republic.<br />
<br />
Brandon Raub refused to be silenced, I won't and neither should you.<br />
<br />
Go sign the petition, call that PD and demand to know what has happened to this young man. If you don't, the next will be your neighbor, friend, son or even yourself.<br />

<br />
In the past seven days, we have witnessed <b><a href="http://washingtonexaminer.com/dissenters-obamacare-ruling-is-a-rewrite-of-the-law/article/2500869" target="_blank">the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of these United States re-write a law</a></b>, brought before the High Court, one WHOLLY un-CONSTITUTIONAL, that DICTATES that the feral government can force the citizenry to purchase a product, to "seemingly" make it Constitutional under a completely different avenue than the four requested arguments that the plaintiffs were instructed to argue. The traitor, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, <b><a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/06/28/michael_savage_roberts_epilepsy_medication_effects_his_cognition.html" target="_blank">who was nearly completely unknown as an epileptic to we mere citizens before this</a></b>, said it is actually a TAX, when "those" who penned it, stated it was not as well as the feral lawyers who argued it before the Supreme Court of these United States said it was NOT. So now, the feral government of these United States NOW has the power to TAX you for something you REFUSE to purchase. Of course, after declaring such a monstrosity, where did the traitor, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts go? No, NOT Disney World, <b><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2168451/Chief-Justice-Roberts-heads-Malta-emerges-written-AND-opinions-Obamacare.html" target="_blank">but to the "impregnable island fortress" of Malta</a></b>.<br />
<br />
As children, we Americans were instructed that NO ONE is above the law. That the three branches of our Republic- the <b><a href="http://uspolitics.about.com/od/usgovernment/a/oaths_of_office_4.htm" target="_blank">Legislative</a></b>, the <b><a href="http://uspolitics.about.com/od/usgovernment/a/oaths_of_office.htm" target="_blank">Executive</a></b> and the <b><a href="http://uspolitics.about.com/od/usgovernment/a/oaths_of_office_3.htm" target="_blank">Judicial</a></b> all are there to protect our Constitution and our liberties, swearing <b><a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/oath" target="_blank">OATHS</a></b> to do such. Moreover, daily we are told how sacred it we mere citizens OBEY the law of the land and if we have grievances, that our <b><a href="http://www.constitution.org/constit_.htm" target="_blank">Constitution</a></b> provides us the avenues to address the inequities and follies of the mistakes of our fellow citizens and elected officials.<br />
<br />
No, we do not. At every turn, whether a good and prudent law is passed, it is overturned- no matter what "we the people" desire, need or require. The most recent example is Arizona's Immigration Law which had the Supreme Court of these United States overturn all of it except the requirement for papers. So the Executive branch then, <b><a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2012/06/25/dhs-suspends-immigration-agreements-with-arizona-in-wake-of-court-ruling/" target="_blank">with malice aforethought stripped ONLY Arizona</a></b> of it's ability to be a part of the program that uses such and created a <b><a href="http://www.kgun9.com/news/national/160309795.html?page=1" target="_blank">toll-free number and an E-mail address specifically aimed at Arizona</a></b>. Moreover, this was <b><a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/jun/14/catch-and-release-for-low-priority-illegals-propos/?page=all#pagebreak" target="_blank">AFTER</a></b> granting <b><a href="http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/232923-obama-makes-election-year-change-in-immigration-policy" target="_blank">back-door amnesty</a></b>! <br />
<br />
Our government has been and is now BOUGHT by large corporations- left and right. I could provide <b><a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-06-29/banks-financing-mexico-s-drug-cartels-admitted-in-wells-fargo-s-u-s-deal.html" target="_blank">link</a></b>, after <b><a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-11-03/glaxo-agrees-to-pay-3-billion-to-settle-u-s-probe-into-sales-marketing.html" target="_blank">link</a></b>, after <b><a href="http://www.zerohedge.com/news/and-now-fed-gets-dragged-lieborgate" target="_blank">link</a></b>, after <b><a href="http://news.investors.com/article/616849/201207030826/gm-bailout-taxpayer-loss-rises-as-shares-fall.htm" target="_blank">link</a></b>, after <b><a href="http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=208044" target="_blank">link</a></b> but I do not have to- you see it daily and know the truth. From oil, pharmacology, prisons, and military. You are nothing and MUST accept the fascist state of <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatism" target="_blank">CORPORATISM</a></b>! <br />
<br />
I say NO!<br />
<br />
There are four boxes to our Republic and each is a true and proper avenue to obtain and re-gain our suppressed liberties, but each one can fail and the first three have been useless since 1913 and the last was tried from 1861-1865 and think days such as those coming upon us once <b><a href="http://westernrifleshooters.wordpress.com/2012/07/03/barnhardt-told-ya/" target="_blank">more</a></b>.<br />
<br />
For those that do not know what the four boxes are, I present them in order and yes, most reading this have used the first three- over and over so often <b><a href="http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/color?region=us&q=color" target="_blank">that all colors have drained from the use</a></b>.<br />

<br />
The last box is one that all should dread opening, but there are those who just have pushed and keep pushing because they firmly believe it is their due to dictate how others live and that Man should be in chains. <br />
<br />
Americans are fed up- we are tired of the <b><a href="http://ericpetersautos.com/2012/07/03/sounds-like-paradise/" target="_blank">lies</a></b>, <b><a href="http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2012/07/01/constitution-on-edge-of-extinction/" target="_blank">the cheating</a></b>, <b><a href="http://www.policemisconduct.net/" target="_blank">the murders and killings of us</a></b>. It is only going to get worse. It has to stop and you have to chose to say no more.<br />

Americans who are "suspicious of centralized federal authority, reverent of individual liberty" deemed domestic threat<br />

<br />
A new study funded by the Department of Homeland Security characterizes Americans who are "suspicious of centralized federal authority," and "reverent of individual liberty" as "extreme right-wing" terrorists.<br />
<br />
Entitled Hot Spots of Terrorism and Other Crimes in the United States, 1970-2008 (<i><b><a href="http://start.umd.edu/start/publications/research_briefs/LaFree_Bersani_HotSpotsOfUSTerrorism.pdf" target="_blank">PDF</a></b></i>), the study was produced by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism at the University of Maryland. The organization was launched with the aid of DHS funding to the tune of $12 million dollars.<br />
<br />
While largely omitting Islamic terrorism - <i><b><a href="http://www.ruthfullyyours.com/2012/06/14/homeland-security-funded-study-pushing-tea-party-terrorism-narrative-patrick-poole/">the report fails completely to mention</a></b></i> the 1993 World Trade Center bombing – the study focuses on Americans who hold beliefs shared by the vast majority of conservatives and libertarians and puts them in the context of radical extremism.<br />
<br />
The report takes its definitions from a 2011 study entitled Profiles of Perpetrators of Terrorism, produced by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, in which the following characteristics are used to identify terrorists.<br />
<br />
- Americans who believe their "way of life" is under attack;<br />
<br />
- Americans who are "fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation)";<br />
<br />
- People who consider themselves "anti-global" (presumably those who are wary of the loss of American sovereignty);<br />
<br />
- Americans who are "suspicious of centralized federal authority";<br />
<br />
- Americans who are "reverent of individual liberty";<br />
<br />
- People who "believe in conspiracy theories that involve grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty."</blockquote>Happy Independence Day.<br />
