2015: Our Wish versus Our Reality

I have posted several warnings detailing the threats to our Constitution and the Republic.  These include our incredible debt, corrupt politicians and bankers, an increasingly ignorant population, and a globalist agenda that seeks its own good and cares not for the interests of any citizen in any nation.

I have attempted to highlight the reasons why the US Constitution is a unique document which should resonate within anyone who understands the value of liberty and the freedom to pursue your own dream.  The only limitation should be that my freedom cannot limit your freedom and vice-versa.

When I view 2015 and beyond I must conclude that it is in the hands of God, our Creator.  Too often throughout history good plans have become corrupted by greed or a narcissistic craving for power.  The average citizen has rarely been represented and too often oppressed by a social or political or business class that only responds to their own satisfactions.  While the revolutionary political experiment by the Founders of the United States held much promise, our history has been mired by the less noble acts of men.  Despite the corrupt and the traitorous the United States still captured the imagination of all those who came to our shores to become "free".

With the advent of technology evil men (and women) are able to abuse our freedoms as never before.  Our own National Security Agency continuously violates the Constitution and behaves no better than the East German Stasi under the aegis of the Soviet police state.  Our own Supreme Court has ruled that police violations of a citizen's rights is acceptable IF the police officer THOUGHT (not knew) that a violation of the law had taken place.  When the court system begins to support the implicit or explicit objectives of those who would create a police state the rule of law ceases to exist.

I have often stated that the only thing that ensured our liberty was the rule of law.  This meant that ALL citizens were accountable and equal under the law.  That, too, has been corrupted in the United States and the very wealthy in effect become "more equal" under the law; some appear not to be subject to the law altogether.

This brings me to 2015 and beyond.  The Republicans won a decisive victory in November 2014 and it was a referendum against the policies of the Obama Administration.  But a funny thing happened on the way to the forum:  little king george gave a little dictator speech claiming that he "heard" the two-thirds of the electorate that did not vote.  He promised to forge on with his agenda.  The Republicans lined up at the microphones to tell us that they were more willing than ever to work with Obama on legislation.

Some, including me, will give these Republicans who have strayed from the Constitution a pass until January 2015.  The new Congress with strong Republican majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate will have the authority to challenge our Marxist-in-Chief at every turn.  While I always try to remain optimistic, I remain skeptical.  Until I see it I refuse to believe anything out of Washington DC.

The United States was never intended to put together a global government nor was it designed to interfere in the internal affairs of other nations UNLESS another nation undermined our national security.  These days corrupt governments, including my own, invoke national security to hide embarrassing or illegal actions and to silence criticism or debate.  Bush was the first to openly dismember our Constitutional freedoms with his Patriot Act and Obama continues the bi-partisan globalist agenda with a National Defense Authorization Act that allows for the arrest of citizens without due process and the assassination of citizens by the government.  Add to that a rash of memoranda and executive orders and there is now little left for We the People.

I have claimed that at some point in time We the People must responsibly rise up against the government and our corrupt federal courts.  This, however, is not the case with those who promote the assassination of our police officers.  Little king george is part of a bigger plan that includes rogue and criminal elements to create the appearance of social mayhem to justify martial law.  Obama's constant jump to racist conclusions (Harvard, Trayvon Martin, Ferguson) all speak to a Saul Alinski community "organizer" hell bent on inciting riots and violence.  He and Bush are a shame for the US and an embarrassment for anyone who understood Martin Luther King, the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution.  Jeb Bush?  Really?  Hillary?  Are you kidding me?

So where does that leave us?  The video below is well worth 9 minutes of your life.  Our problem is stated succinctly and solutions are analyzed.  Among these I somewhat disagree with one:  One solution is to prepare to leave the United States and go elsewhere.  If that is someone's choice I will not object but I feel it is the duty of every American to remain, resist, and triumph over the despots who are subverting our Constitutional Republic.  Those in other nations must not cheer too loudly at the troubles we are experiencing because if we don't stop the globalist agenda here in the US citizens of every nation will suffer.  Just consider the coming rationing of food, water and energy.  Also consider the globalist desire to reduce global population severely...more than half of our 6-plus billion must die in their view.  With that in mind, beware the global vaccination drives and what might be placed in your food and water.  If you are not part of the corrupt machinery of global totalitarianism you are expendable.

I often wondered what it would be like to have lived during the collapse of the Roman Empire.  Now I believe I do as I witness the collapse of the Republic.  Our collapse is precipitated by our ignorance and selfishness coupled with corruption and power conspiring against a population that cannot or will not fight against tyranny.  My faith in my fellow Patriots is bolstered by many in alternative media who are exposing the truth and the millions of us who will not let the Constitution's light be extinguished for long.  You see, when our corrupt Federal government overtly declares the end of our Constitutional Republic We the People will have the moral basis to act with impunity, but not before.

With that said I present to you a StormCloudsGathering video "U.S. Government Preparing for Collapse (and Not in a Nice Way).  To all my readers I ask that you keep us in your prayers.  It is time for real Americans to reclaim the United States as our Founders originally intended and for individuals around the globe to embrace individual liberty.

Strength and Honor,

Ferguson: A Case Study of a Constitutional Breakdown

[Author's Note:  As a retired Army combat veteran I, too, am an Oath Keeper.  We swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights that codify the fundamental liberties endowed upon us by our Creator.  The Missouri Chapter of Oath Keepers wrote a timely and cogent open letter to their Governor.  It clearly defines the problems in Ferguson, the problem with police militarization, and the trampling on our freedoms.  More importantly, the letter suggests remedies for the good of law enforcement and We the People.  At the moment We the People are growing apart from law enforcement.  In their quest for power and control the Department of Homeland Security is behind the militarization of law enforcement and, knowing it will cause patriots to stir, is arming itself for a bloody showdown against US citizens.  As I've pointed out in previous posts:  That showdown will be bloody and protracted and the enemies of our Constitution will perish.  Instead of that possibility I would much prefer that the usurpers of freedom digest the contents of this letter by the Oath Keepers in Missouri; the alternative is chaos and violence.  Strength and Honor.]

An Open Letter To Missouri Governor Nixon from Oath Keepers 

 

There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. - Marine General Smedley Butler - Two-time recipient of the Medal of Honor.

Governor Nixon:

 

The events in Ferguson have shown us daily that the looting and violence by a few is not being stopped, while the right of the people to peaceably assemble and petition government for redress of grievances is not being respected. The current riot control tactics of the local police, rooted in outmoded techniques developed in the 1950's - and only made worse by the ongoing militarization of our police - are failing the people of Ferguson, giving them a false choice between rampant looting on the one hand, and hyper-militarized police and curfews on the other (which also fail to stop the looting, leaving the mistaken impression among many of the American people that even more militarization and curtailment of free speech and assembly is needed).  Our local boots on the ground, made up of retired police officers, military veterans, and intelligence workers (with critical input from current serving Missouri police officers) have answers that could provide the people of Ferguson the relief they need and deserve while respecting their rights.   It is time to change a losing game.

 

The militarized police response we saw in Ferguson did not work.  All it did was violate the rights of peaceful protesters and media, alienate the community, and make our country look even more like a police state, with big, intimidating displays of heavily armed, militarized officers, in full "battle-rattle" and backed by BearCat type armored vehicles, firing CS gas and rubber bullets into peaceful protesters and even at media personnel, while failing to stop those relative few who were actually looting, throwing Molotov cocktails, and shooting.

 

The police focus on peaceful protesters, with lines of policemen equipped in riot gear, in fundamentally static positions - at best, slow, plodding, on-line advances - are easily thwarted by modern looters and thugs with cell phones and team work.  Such outdated tactics fail to apprehend those actually looting and shooting.

 

What they do succeed in doing is alienating the local population while risking additional shooting incidents due to unsafe gun-handling.  There were multiple instances of police officers pointing M-4s and sniper rifles at unarmed, peaceful protesters, media, and local residents just going about their business, in displays of spectacularly unsafe weapons discipline and methodology.   As one of our police sniper veterans pointed out, even police snipers deployed in response to prior incidents of shots fired should have used spotting scopes to observe the crowd and search for potential threats, not their rifle scopes.

 

Even worse were the well-publicized incidents of officers routinely pointing M-4s at unarmed protesters at close range for no apparent reason other than to intimidate.  An officer facing an actual lethal threat should be moving to cover, not standing there in a static bunch with other officers, using the rifle as a threat display.  And a properly trained and disciplined professional keeps his rifle pointed down, where it is pointed in a safe direction but still ready to bring up on target within a second at close range, and it stays pointed down unless and until he identifies an actual lethal threat, while he uses his presence and voice, first and foremost, to control the situation - all without covering anyone with his muzzle.

 

Such over-the-top threatening displays, with rifles pointed-in indiscriminately at protesters and residents, only anger and frighten the people and reinforce the perception that it is "the police vs. the people" rather than the police vs. a small number of criminals, while risking the lives of the very people our police are supposed to be serving.

 

And much like over-the top and indiscriminate threat displays and use of force in Iraq lost the hearts and minds of the locals, so too does it lose the battle for hearts and minds here at home - assisting in the agendas of those who wish to divide us along racial lines and create an "us vs. them" mentality among both the people and the police.

 

The overt displays of heavily armed officers lined up to intimidate the crowds were also tactically unsound for the officers themselves, leaving them exposed in the streets.  The more skilled the opposition, the more such tactics fail.  So far, it has only been random, inaccurate, handgun fire directed at the police in Ferguson, not rifle fire.  Against rifle fire, a long line of exposed officers standing in the open would be a disaster for the police.  One active duty police sergeant told us, "I don't want my guys stationary - they just become targets for the thugs throwing bricks and taking pot shots at us with their pistols."  The analysts in our group take this kind of feedback from the rank-and-file very seriously, and you should too.  And, again, it doesn't get the job done.  It doesn't secure the arrest of those who are looting and shooting.  It leaves the officers exposed while it only punishes and threatens those who are there to protest -  those who are not looting and shooting.

 

Likewise for the imposition of curfews, which violate the right of the people to peaceably assemble, while also failing to stop the looters and shooters who ignore such decrees.  The First Amendment prohibits "abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" period.  It doesn't add on "unless a politician declares a state of emergency and imposes a curfew."   Nor does it say "unless other people are looting and being violent, in which case all of you lose your right to peaceably assemble."  Curfews punish the peaceable majority for the actions of a violent few, and again, alienate the community and send the message that the police see them all as the enemy and seek to trample on the rights of all of them.

 

The local police are capable of handling the current situation in a way that both respects the rights of the people and gets the actual criminals off the streets, but only if a paradigm shift in strategy and tactics can be made.  The leadership, starting with you, Gov. Nixon, and on down the chain of command, must make the changes that are needed to bring sane, effective, and constitutional policing to this situation.

 

 

A Constitutional and Effective Strategy

 

 

One retired Special Forces veteran in our group suggested that instead of grouping the police officers in large blocks (50 to 100 men), that  you should break up these groups into rapid reaction teams of 20 to 25 officers and disperse them, staging them in places spread around Ferguson, with a focus on the looters, not the protesters.  Our intelligence and police veterans concurred, and added that you should also task some officers to go out in street clothes to blend in to the crowds and work as Scouts, identifying threats and looters.  The plainclothes Scouts should be directing the rapid reaction teams to protect the businesses from the ongoing crime, and refocus the police assets away from unconstitutional activities like shooting CS gas at peaceful protesters and enforcing curfews, and get to the business of putting the real criminals behind bars.   If you think you need more minority officers for this role, you could easily find them in the St. Louis County Police Department, St. Charles County Sheriff Department, and other local municipal police departments.  The plainclothes officers can identify and locate the trouble-makers and their caches and resources, such as gas cans and bottles for Molotov cocktails, bricks, etc., and they can also film the trouble-makers in support of later arrests and prosecutions.

 

Those plainclothes Scouts can also be directly backed up by small teams of five to seven additional plainclothes officers to take down identified looters in a manner that uses minimum force along with effective surprise applied only to the actual suspected looter.  And those plainclothes small reaction teams can be further backed up by the uniformed rapid response teams, if needed, as they apprehend the looters and shooters.   If possible, each officer should have a small, discrete camera - such as a badge camera - pinned to their clothing and running at all times, so that there is a recording of all that occurs.

 

An additional recommendation from one of our members was that, rather than closing portions of West Florrisant Avenue and ordering protesters to disperse, officers could place cones on the street to reserve the center lane for police use only (warning that any others entering that lane will be arrested), staging officers at various points along that center lane and using it for police vehicles, while leaving traffic free to move North and South (with appropriate turn lanes interspersed), leaving the sidewalks open for protesters and media, and not trying to confine either to any particular area.  That preserves the middle lane for police to move freely back and forth along that critical two mile stretch while not restricting free speech and assembly rights.

The initial response of the Highway Patrol, to deescalate and demilitarize the situation, was on the right track.  However, it also failed to secure the arrest of the looters.  In fact, officers were explicitly told to not go after the looters.  De-escalating of militarized policing against peaceful protesters was a good idea.  But the "de-escalation" toward the looters and shooters - intentionally NOT going after them - was insane and failed to protect the people and businesses of Ferguson.  Backing off and letting the looters run free failed to solve the problem and actually made it worse, with the success of the looters drawing trouble-makers from all over the country, who came to Ferguson to loot and shoot and incite more violence.  As evidence of the failure, we now have local business owners having to hire private security to protect them from looting because the police in their community are failing to do so.

 

De-escalation and demilitarization must go hand-in-hand with effective policing that stops the looters and shooters.  The officers must be told that if they see an act of looting or violence, they must arrest that man.   That needs to be the policy from the beginning to the end.  Again, we recommend the use of plainclothes officers and small reaction teams to effectively arrest looters and shooters while respecting the rights of the peaceable protesters.

 

With hundreds of criminals stealing the businesses of Ferguson blind and damaging private property, how many arrests of actual looters took place?   The percentage is embarrassing (and arrests of otherwise peaceful protesters for "failure to disperse" or "failure to keep moving" don't count).  The Highway Patrol's tactics did not work, and it is time to admit it.   It was a mistake to remove St. Louis County from a command role.  Instead, Governor, you should have directed them to use their considerable assets to go after the looters while respecting the right of the people to peaceably assemble.

 

Likewise, bringing the National Guard in for "force protection" secured the Command Location, but what about all the other locations where people's lives were being destroyed?  The National Guard was not the answer.  Effective, smart, focused policing was.  You did the right thing by finally pulling the National Guard back out.  Now you just need to direct the application of effective, focused policing.

 

We need officers focused on looters, not on bullying the media and protesters.  We need officers to put violent criminals in jail, not shoot tear gas and rubber bullets at reporters too ignorant to not shine lights in the officers' eyes while they are trying to work.  We need a Governor smart enough to reject the riot control tactics developed before cell phones - tactics that are now failing catastrophically - and smart enough to not try to stifle free speech and violate our Bill of Rights.  We need a Governor to show enough wisdom to lead our state by the Constitution rather than against it with ineffective abuses like curfews.  Governor Nixon, tell us you are wise enough to defeat the criminals without violating our rights. No, SHOW us you are wise enough to change your failing tactics and demand from your men that they discern between peaceful protesters and looting thugs.  SHOW US, you will protect the rights of the FREE PRESS and have the courage to demand your officers arrest the real bad guys.   Stop gassing the innocent and start arresting the looters!

  

Wisdom and discernment will go a long way on the streets of Ferguson, and it is time you focus the police on putting real criminals behind bars, not reporters and peaceful protesters.   It is time the people of Ferguson look up and see a beautiful moon, instead of a cloud of smoke and tear gas.  Truth demands change.

 

A Critical Warning

 

In closing, we must warn you that you are making a grave mistake by continuing the pattern of militarization and abuse of rights that we saw during Occupy Wall Street (with curfews imposed on peaceful protesters, who were wrongly ordered to disperse and then pepper-sprayed at point-blank range); with the egregious death of Marine combat veteran Jose Guerena at the hands of a Tucson SWAT team while serving a mere search warrant; during the response to the Boston Bombing (with families being ordered out of their homes at gun-point, with many veterans telling us that the people of Iraq were treated with more respect and consideration than they saw in Watertown, Massachusetts); and with the recent horrendous use of "First Amendment Areas," military trained snipers, and militarized, heavy-handed Federal law enforcement at Bundy Ranch in Bunkerville, Nevada that galvanized veterans from all across America to travel there to prevent that ranching family from being "Waco'd" (with the Washington Times later disclosing that the Obama Administration did, in fact, consider using military force against the Bundy family and their supporters, but thankfully decided not to).  Those examples only scratch the surface of a systemic problem that has been ratcheting up over the years in nearly every community in America, as Washington Post journalist Radley Balko has exhaustively documented.

 

The rapidly escalating militarization of America's police is fundamentally incompatible with our Constitution and incompatible with a free nation, and inevitably leads to violence against We the People and gross violations of our rights, for which so many of our brothers have fought, bled, and died throughout this nation's history.

 

For us, this is not about race.  This is about defending the Bill of Rights, which is a shield against government abuse that is meant to protect ALL Americans, of whatever color.  Those of us who served as Marine or Army infantry learned to see only one color: green.  Some of our brothers in our fire-teams and squads were dark green, while others were medium or light green, but they were all our brothers, and in combat, they all bled the same color - red - in defense of this nation and in defense of the Constitution, which each of us swore an oath to defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic.  And the same can be said for those constitutional Sheriffs and police officers among us who still know what it means to be a peace officer, not a "law enforcer."

 

The militarization of our police is not a "black problem."  It's an American problem, and it affects all of us.  Senator Rand Paul is right.  We must demilitarize our police.  Governor Nixon, you stand at a critical moment in history.  You must reverse course and set the example for other states to follow, to demilitarize our police and bring police methods back within the bounds of the Constitution.  A failure to do so will further place millions of us American veterans who still take our oaths seriously on a fateful collision course with a burgeoning police state that is going down the same road that other nations have traveled, with tragic ends.

 

Our grandfathers and fathers fought against totalitarian police states overseas.  Please don't force us to fight against one here at home.   Demilitarize the police now, and let us all live in peace under the Constitution, with liberty, and justice, for all.

 

Missouri Oath Keepers

When are we free to overthrow the federal government?

When the President no longer feels obligated to uphold the Constitution and presides over an Administration that blatantly defies the law, We the People are no longer beholden to obey the law either.  We the People are required to safeguard our liberties, not as given to us, but as our birthright as codified within our Constitution and its Bill of Rights.

At this point, the Legislative Branch must initiate impeachment proceedings for a peaceful transition of political power.  The Judicial Branch must cease and desist from legislating from the bench.

If all this fails, We the People must invoke the 2nd Amendment and replace an unconstitutional and  unrepresentative government with one structured within the framework of the original Constitution.

It is the sworn duty of every military person on active duty and of law enforcement to support and defend the Constitution.  Therefore they must side with We the People.  If they are not part of the Constitutional solution, they fall into the category of domestic enemy and must be treated as such.

But, unlike little king george, I will not drone on.

But now you know why the Obamas, the Bloombergs and Leftists and Fascists and Tyrants all want the people disarmed.

America will continue to lead by example and that is coming sooner rather than later.

Strength and Honor.

The President Who Would be king

[Author's note:  This is the testimony that will hopefully prompt Congress to reassert its authority, it will motivate and justify the anti-Obama actions taken by a growing number of military leaders, and it puts you and me on solid ground in defense and support of the Constitution.  In short, the battle lines for the Republic are being drawn.  The battle itself is not far off.

Professor Turley is refreshingly candid and admits his support for Obama.  Constitutionally, however, he aims sharp criticism at our “little king george”, our failed, delusional and self-absorbed president.]

Some excerpts from the attached document (bold added for my emphasis):

 

"The President's Constitutional Duty to Faithfully Execute the Laws"

 

Committee on the Judiciary

United States House of Representatives

2141 Rayburn House Office Building

December 3, 2013

Jonathan Turley,

Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law

George Washington University

2000 H St., N.W.

Washington, D.C. 20052

The issue before the Committee is clearly a difficult one. It is often difficult to separate the merits of the underlying policies from the means used to achieve them. It so happens that I agree with many of the goals of the Administration in the various areas where the President has circumvented Congress. However, in the Madisonian system, it is often more important how you do things than what you do. We have long benefited from a system designed to channel and transform factional interests in the political system.

When any branch encroaches upon the authority of another, it not only introduces instability into the system but leaves political issues raw and unresolved. However, to paraphrase one of Benjamin Franklin’s favorite sayings, the Constitution helps those branches that help themselves. Each branch is given the tools to defend itself and the Framers assumed that they would have the ambition and institutional self-interest to use them. That assumption is now being put to the test as many members remain silent in the face of open executive encroachment by the Executive Branch.

 

While I believe that the White House has clearly “exceeded its brief” in these areas, this question of presidential non-enforcement has arisen periodically in our history. In the current controversy, the White House has suggested an array of arguments, citing the interpretation of statutory text, agency discretion, or other rationales to mask what is clearly a circumvention of Congress. It also appears to be relying on the expectation that no one will be able to secure standing to challenge such decisions in court.

There is ample room given to a president in setting priorities in the enforcement of laws. A president is not required to enforce all laws equally or dedicate the same resources to every federal program. Even with this ample allowance, however, I believe that President Barack Obama has crossed the constitutional line between discretionary enforcement and defiance of federal law.

When a president claims the inherent power of both legislation and enforcement, he becomes a virtual government unto himself. He is not simply posing a danger to the constitutional system; he becomes the very danger that the Constitution was designed to avoid.

 

The actions of the Obama Administration challenge core principles of the separation of powers and lack meaningful limiting principles for future executive orders.

 

Clearly, these are times of bitter and intractable divisions between the parties. It is not the first time such divisions have emerged in Congress. However, Madison and others believed that petty partisanship would ultimately yield to common institutional interests when faced with the “danger of attack.” After all, members have a common article of faith. It is Article I of the Constitution and the words “All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States.”

He like other foreign dictators, tyrants, monarchs and globalists are so absorbed in their own sense of grandeur that they overlook the sleeping giant.  The axis powers learned their lesson the hard way in WWII and the fascist globalists are close to learning their lesson.  We the People and the Constitution of the United States of America will prevail and we will plant our flag into your despotic political corpse.

The Republican Party: Accomplices in the Destruction of America?

[Author's Note:  Regular readers know that I have one ax to grind and that is my support and defense for the Constitution of the United States.  I have concluded that, as of 2000 and perhaps earlier, the votes of American citizens have no longer been relevant to our political process.  Republicans and Democrats are more alike than different and equally corrupt.  Their collective arrogance and separation from those they are supposed to serve has increased and their hubris knows few bounds.

This environment of political corruption and manipulation opened the door for the global fascists' best spokesperson, Barack H Obama.  While he is not the mastermind he was well chosen because African-Americans seem drawn to his Black-Arab-Kenyan roots and White-Americans seem unable to criticize him out of ...whatever cowardly reason.  Regardless of the excuses, we are collectively allowing him and his globalist masters to systematically destroy our Republic.  The harm they will inflict on America will be felt around the world; the pain they will feel will remind the world of the French Revolution.

In a couple of weeks the federal government will conduct another "exercise", this time supposedly shutting down and "restarting" the nation's electrical grid.  Like many plausible scenarios it may end up being nothing or it might well be the awaited moment when Obama is told to declare a "national security emergency".  Any declared national security emergency will be the Administration's excuse for martial law and the permanent destruction of our Constitution.  DHS with its internal storm troops, FEMA and the military will be ordered to attack We the People.

I, like Millions of Patriots, will consider any such action a declaration of open hostilities against the American people.  Anyone associated with this attempt to enslave the American people should and must be summarily declared a domestic enemy.  I have always urged that the fascists among us and their oath-breaking accomplices in Congress reevaluate their plans because it is likely they will be defeated.  I do expect, however, that those who give the orders from their insulated palaces, here and in Europe, will ignore the warning, certain of their privilege and exaggerated narcissistic sense of power.  They are in good company for the Czar in Russia and Louis XIV shared this disdain for ordinary citizens.

I don't often showcase other articles in their totality but I will make exceptions when something is eminently clear and to the point.  In this case it is a Fox News article posted on October 21, 2013 by Wayne Allyn Root.]

Why ObamaCare is a fantastic SUCCESS!!

Wayne Allyn Root
October 21, 2013
FoxNews.com

There are two major political parties in America. I'm a member of the naïve, stupid, and cowardly one. I'm a Republican.

How stupid is the GOP? They still don't get it.

I told them 5 years ago, 2 books ago, a national bestseller ago ("The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide"), and in hundreds of articles and commentaries, that ObamaCare was never meant to help America, or heal the sick, or lower healthcare costs, or lower the debt, or expand the economy.

The GOP needs to stop calling ObamaCare a "trainwreck." That means it's a mistake, or accident. That means it's a gigantic flop, or failure. It's NOT.
Message to the GOP: This isn't a game. This isn't tiddly-winks. This is a serious, purposeful attempt to hijack America and destroy capitalism.

This is a brilliant, cynical, and purposeful attempt to damage the U.S. economy, kill jobs, and bring down capitalism.

It's not a failure, it's Obama's grand success.
It's not a "trainwreck," ObamaCare is a suicide attack. He wants to hurt us, to bring us to our knees, to capitulate- so we agree under duress to accept big government.

Obama's hero and mentor was Saul Alinsky -- a radical Marxist intent on destroying capitalism. Alinksky's stated advice was to call the other guy "a terrorist" to hide your own intentions.

To scream that the other guy is "ruining America," while you are the one actually plotting the destruction of America. To claim again and again in every sentence of every speech that you are "saving the middle class," while you are busy wiping out the middle class.

The GOP is so stupid they can't see it. There are no mistakes here. This is a planned purposeful attack.

The tell-tale sign isn't the disastrous start to ObamaCare. Or the devastating effect the new taxes are having on the economy. Or the death of full-time jobs. Or the overwhelming debt. Or the dramatic increases in health insurance rates. Or the 70% of doctors now thinking of retiring- brining on a healthcare crisis of unimaginable proportions. Forget all that.

The real sign that this is a purposeful attack upon capitalism is how many Obama administration members and Democratic Congressmen are openly calling Tea Party Republicans and anyone who wants to stop ObamaCare "terrorists."

There's the clue. Even the clueless GOP should be able to see that.

They are calling the reasonable people the patriots the people who believe in the Constitution ... the people who believe exactly what the Founding Fathers believed the people who want to take power away from corrupt politicians who have put America $17 trillion in debt terrorists?

That's because they are Saul Alinsky-ing the GOP. The people trying to purposely hurt America, capitalism and the middle class are calling the patriots by a terrible name to fool, confuse and distract the public.

ObamaCare is a raving, rollicking, fantastic success. Stop calling it a failure. Here is what it was created to do. It is succeeding on all counts:
1. ObamaCare was intended to bring about the Marxist dream -- redistribution of wealth.
Rich people, small business owners, and the middle class are being robbed, so that the money can be redistributed to poor people (who vote for Democrats).

Think about it. If you're rich or middle class, you now have to pay for your own health care costs (at much higher rates) AND 40 million other people's costs too (through massive tax increases).

So you're stuck paying for both bills. You are left broke. Brilliant.

2. ObamaCare was intended to wipe out the middle class and make them dependent on government.
Think about it. Even Obama's IRS predicts that health insurance for a typical American family by 2016 will be $20,000 per year. But how would middle class Americans pay that bill and have anything left for food or housing or living? People that make $40K, or $50K, or $60K can't possibly hope to spend $20K on health insurance without becoming homeless.

Bingo. That's how you make middle class people dependent on government. That's how you make everyone addicted to government checks. Brilliant.

3. As a bonus, ObamaCare is intended to kill every decent paying job in the economy, creating only crummy, crappy part-time jobs.
Why? Just to make sure the middle class is trapped, with no way out. Just to make sure no one has the $20,000 per year to pay for health insurance, thereby guaranteeing they become wards of the state. Brilliant.

4. ObamaCare is intended to bankrupt small business, and therefore starve donations to the GOP.
Think about it. Do you know a small business owner? I know hundreds of them. Their rates are being doubled, tripled and quadrupled by ObamaCare.

Guess who writes 75% of the checks to Republican candidates and conservative causes? Small businesses.

Even if a small business owner manages to survive, he or she certainly can't write a big check to the GOP anymore. Money is the "mother's milk" of politics. Without donations, a political party ceases to exist. Bingo.

That's the point of ObamaCare. Obama is bankrupting his political opposition and drying up donations to the GOP. Brilliant.

5. ObamaCare is intended to make the IRS all-powerful.
It adds thousands of new IRS agents. It puts the IRS in charge of overseeing 15% of the U.S. economy. The IRS has the right because of ObamaCare to snoop into every aspect of your life, to go into your bank accounts, to fine you, to frighten you, to intimidate you. And Obama and his socialist cabal have access to your deepest medical secrets.

By law your doctor has to ask your sexual history. That information is now in the hands of Obama and the IRS to blackmail GOP candidates into either not running, or supporting bigger government, or leaking the info and ruining your campaign.

Or have you forgotten the IRS harassed, intimidated and persecuted critics of Obama and conservative groups?

Now Obama hands the IRS even more power. Big Brother rules our lives. Brilliant.

6. ObamaCare is intended to unionize 15 million healthcare workers.
That produces $15 billion in new union dues. That money goes to fund Democratic candidates and socialist causes -- thereby guaranteeing Obama's friends never lose another election, and Obama's policies keep ruining capitalism and bankrupting business owners long after he's out of office.

Message to the GOP: This isn't a game. This isn't tiddly-winks. This is a serious, purposeful attempt to highjack America and destroy capitalism.

This isn't a trainwreck. It's purposeful suicide.

It's not failing, it's working exactly according to plan. Obama knows what he's doing. Stop apologizing and start fighting.
Oh and one more thing Conservatives aren't "terrorists." We are patriots and saviors. We represent the Constitution and the Founding Fathers. We are the heroes and good guys. Unless you get all this through your thick skulls, America is lost forever.

In Defense of the Constitution: An Act of Self-Defense Against Tyranny

[Author’s Note – My Oath:  “I, (name), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _______ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God.”   DA Form 71, 1 August 1959, for officers]

To my many readers from other nations:  Beware the conclusions you or your governments draw and the actions you might contemplate.  While I believe that you should be aware of what is transpiring in the United States I would urge you to be prudent.  Our original Declaration of Independence (included at bottom) and its list of grievances apply today as we face our new arrogant and pompous King George.

The United States is guided, first and foremost, by our Constitution which embodies We the People.  We have veered off our proper path and now face the assault by those who do not support our Constitution.  Our enemies desire a 20th century tyranny only scaled larger to 21st century technological capabilities, an Orwellian State.  The veneer is presented as the natural consequence of a global economy or a shrinking world.  The truth is better found in history; it is yet another attempt by those with influence and power to acquire more and to control more at the people’s expense.

The recently revealed and un-Constitutional actions by our NSA demonstrate our need to return to the basics of our Constitution.  It means fiscal responsibility and smaller government and this is what threatens people and organizations that have everything to lose if that were to happen.  These people and organizations speak of peace but they promote war; they openly push for unity but they promote division; they say they support their citizens but only abuse them instead.  We are not meant to be the world’s policeman nor are we meant to be the enforcer for the United Nations, a bogus and corrupt organization.  We are not meant to have a centralized government controlling all aspects of our lives.  We are meant to be free.

For those nations, like Communist China, which are holding the bad debt of the United States...good luck trying to collect!  You entered into these financial arrangements with a series of Administrations that were improperly empowered and through a Federal Reserve that is in no way connected to our government nor subordinated to our Constitution.  The Fed is more closely aligned with the interests of European central bankers and their penchant for the monetary enslavement of nations, yours included.  It is time to wake up; We the People will never surrender any of the United States to you.  You were sold a pack of lies in Washington, DC and We the People will not be the guarantors for the corrupt or the criminals among us.

Our nation must be tested once more because our elected representatives, who were charged with great responsibility, failed to live up to their oaths of office.  This Progressive/fascist process has been unfolding since 1913 and is now in its final stages.  Human frailty, temptation, ego drive human nature and, without willful self-control, default to “the law of the jungle”, survival of the fittest, the use of force to acquire that which won’t be surrendered voluntarily or freely.  We should have been more vigilant and our trust has been violated.

The American Experiment is under assault.  Those who would destroy our Republic and its Constitution will not give up voluntarily.  Instead our situation is a replica of that moment when General Howe entered Boston with the express purpose of disarming the people and to force the colonists to accept more abuses by King George.  King George and General Howe pursued their agenda and it led to Lexington, the start of the Revolutionary War.  Modern day Tories, the Progressives, yearn to be part of nobility with the requisite titles and serfs.  Washington refused a crown, refused a third term as President, and supporters of our Constitution do not want any trappings of monarchy on our shores.

Many, myself included, are convinced that war appears to be inevitable.  Many talk of a coming Civil War and that description is not quite accurate.  Patriots will be fighting fellow citizens who have become domestic enemies (i.e., those who have broken with the Constitution).  In effect, Patriots will be required to fight the Revolutionary War all over again.  This time we need to rid our shores of all the Tories that stayed behind in 1776.

The battle will be fought between those of us who are Oath Keepers and those of us who have chosen to become Oath Breakers.  Always bear in mind that those on both sides took the same oath.  To the globalists and to those elsewhere on planet Earth I can only suggest that you back away and spare us all the violence.  Obama will not be successful in “totally transforming” this nation.  He will have caused great pain the world round but Americans will recover and become stronger for the experience.  The choice is yours and screw diplomacy.

 

AND NOW TO MY POSTING

RE:  http://www.infowars.com/army-halts-program-that-labeled-christians-radical-extremists/

Yesterday and in the spirit of fairness I reported via email my conversation with Mr. Chris Haug, Chief of Media Relations at Fort Hood.  He said the matter was under investigation but that initial reports did not support the allegations.  The allegations charged that the Army was teaching its soldiers that Christians and Tea Partiers were radical extremists.

The attached report (see above link) would now indicate that Mr. Haug has been misled himself or is purposefully misdirecting our attention.  The opening paragraph follows:  The Secretary of the Army has halted training programs that characterize conservatives as radical extremists in light of numerous media reports which highlighted how recruits were being taught that Christians were to be considered “domestic hate groups.”

The report would have us believe that rogue individuals supplemented approved instruction materials but anyone who has been in the military knows that this is a ridiculous claim.  If true, it would represent a total breakdown of command authority and a distinct lack of discipline.  The offending aspect of this is that the Army got caught promoting Progressive propaganda to our soldiers.

The truly offensive aspect of this is that it demonstrates the Army leadership’s lack of familiarity with the Constitution, on the one hand, and the utter disregard for the oath they all took, on the other hand.  You cannot support and defend ANYTHING that you do not know or UNDERSTAND.  My concern, then, is the prospect that many of our military will sell out or continue to be duped by an Administration hell-bent on destroying our nation.

I’ll give you one example to share (and here for my military and ex-military friends):  If the president orders active duty military, under the guise of a FEMA-led emergency or not, to go out and assist DHS in the arrest or detention of civilians OR to forcefully confiscate the weapons of Americans, THEN THE MILITARY WILL HAVE ACTED AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION.  If the military were to enter into this kind of behavior they will, in effect, be the proximate cause and be primarily guilty of initiating the next Revolutionary War.

My oath is crystal clear to me.  I refer to and re-read the Constitution several times each year.  If you are in uniform and have not read the Constitution in over a year you are placing both of us in harm’s way.  You will place me in danger for I will have no choice but to act as an Oath Keeper.  You will be endangered for taking irresponsible actions as an Oath Breaker.  If you read the words “we pledge our lives and sacred honor” and find it funny or corny you have become part of the problem.

Reflect now because the globalists are going to play you (i.e., the military) against We the People before the end of 2014 and most probably in conjunction with the mid-term elections.  The declared state of emergency will either be contrived or a response to a domestic false flag operation.  Some of you may think this ridiculous but, I assure you, anyone in the Special Ops or the intelligence communities will not.  It’s your choice to either think or obey blindly like a well-trained mutt.

 

Un-Constitutional laws are bogus and invalid.  The NDAA and the Patriot Act are two major examples of the malfeasance of the federal government and the timid support by the DOD.  Indefinite detention of American citizens on American soil without Constitutional protections?!  Take off your military uniform of the United States and go to Communist China.

I don’t expect civilians who have been the victims of diluted education (like many of our young recruits) to understand but I will never forgive those in uniform who fail to analyze the current battlefield and the order of battle that is presented to us.  Keep this in mind:  Americans who love the Republic are not insurgents or terrorists.  We will not start any hostilities.  We will respond to your failure to uphold the Constitution should you decide to do so.  Should you take part in operations aimed at the destruction of this Constitutional Republic all Oath Keepers and true Patriots must declare you an oath breaking domestic enemy and respond accordingly.

“These (once again) are the times that try men’s souls:  The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”      Thomas Paine (parenthetical remark in italics is mine)

 

 

You have been warned.

Strength and Honor.

The Declaration of Independence (bold type is my effort, for emphasis)

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

 

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

 

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.

 

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.

 

 

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

 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.

 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.

 He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

 He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

 He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

 He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

 He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

 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:

 For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

 For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

 For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

 For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

 For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

 For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences

 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:

 For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

 For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

 He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

 He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

 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 the Head of a civilized nation.

 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.

 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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

Is Martial Law Coming to the United States?

[Author's Note:  It is my sincere hope that those in uniform, military and law enforcement, heed the danger signals and prepare to live up to their oath to support and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies both foreign and domestic.  It is imperative that retired military and law enforcement assist in the process of making our fellow citizens aware of the approaching tyranny.  We can survive victorious only if we live up to our motto and become "Out of Many One".  Wealth and power are not justifications for any group to subvert the Constitution to implement a pseudo-democracy the likes of which we see around the globe.  If you are on active duty, do not draw attention to yourself as We the People, the patriots, want you to work within the system and against it.  The American people are not your enemies; the rogue civilian politicians and their masters are and they will use you to achieve their ends.]



In this interesting first video you get a synopsis of the globalist agenda and the nature of their collective power-grab here and abroad.  Because law enforcement is becoming militarized and the military have increase their domestic training events it is well worth your time to start contemplating alternative possibilities.

One thing you might want to be on alert for:  Should the report of an internet virus attack on bank accounts be announced (probably on a Friday), get ready.  Martial law in the U.S. will be rolled out within 72 hours.  Martial law will, at some point, involve UN and other nation's soldiers (to minimize American soldiers having to fire upon their countrymen?).

Just some thoughts....you decide.

Martial law planning, as part of military planning, includes "shaping the battlefield".  This phase seeks to create an environment favorable to the desired military outcome.  In the case of domestic martial law:  Segregate those who will fight to save the Constitution and the Republic and disarm the American people.  Implied tasks include co-opting and controlling local Sheriffs and law enforcement and the PSYOP encouragement of the populace to become informants against their neighbors.  Civil Affairs will be present to offer aid and comfort to the informants and those who are desperate because they failed to prepare for the crisis.  Foreign soldiers will very likely be employed in areas where the Pentagon expects violent resistance in states such as Texas, Arizona, Louisiana, and others.

These clips and notions are to stimulate critical thinking and our individual research.  They do not represent conclusions nor do they purport to prove anything.  However, to be in denial and not recognize that we, here in the U.S. and the people the world round, are plagued with economic and political crises is dangerous.  The "good ol' days" are gone.  The question becomes:  What's coming?


You Tube won't allow this video to be shared but it provides a sober assessment by a retired State Trooper:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNy2ORKcK04

Equally sobering are the words from the police officer in the next clip.  I would just suggest that some of the FEMA camps will be used by the foreign troops that will be used against the American people on American soil.

Now go forward, investigate, and prepare.

One final thought to consider:  The globalists and the military planners always build in assumptions to any contingency plan and one such assumption is that you will likely cower, do nothing and obey your new fascist masters.  Does that really describe you?  I hope not.

Finally I would clarify that in all my posts the use of the word fascist is meant in its generic sense.  A fascist is a person who, for whatever motive or ideology, feels that he/she must subjugate and control others.  It is a person who does not embrace individual liberty beyond the scope of those fellow travelers who swear allegiance to their regime or subversive cause.  In short, a fascist does not like our Republic, the freedoms the Constitution stands for, nor the system of checks and balances that attempts to thwart unhealthy concentrations of power.

Pray, prepare and remain confident in the abiding principles that motivated our Founding Fathers.  Those that argue against our Founding Fathers today are charlatans and the domestic enemies our Constitution warned against.

E Pluribus Unum

Strength and Honor.

Hugh
