What Congress Must Do to Fix the Damage of NDAA, and Deny the U.S. Government the Power to Wage War on Americans

There are  members of Congress now moving to repeal Section 1021 of the NDAA of 2012.  While a good start, simple repeal of the NDAA is not enough to undo the damage that has been done to our liberty, as I will explain below.   Congress needs to go a step farther and clearly state, in [...]

NDAA: Open Season for the Police State

[Section] 1021 has NO exceptions. There’s not even a hint of an exception. Remember, that section gave the President the authority to arrest you and a set of options on how you were to be handled. These choices are completely divorced from the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th Amendments, as well as the Treason provisions of Article III. The President’s new alternatives are…

1. Detention without trial by the military
2. Trial by a military commission
3. Trial by some other court of the President’s choosing
4. Shipping you off to a foreign jurisdiction

Ohio Peace Officer Drafts NDAA Letter For Police And Sheriffs

Letter to LE by Jim Singleton, Ohio Current-Serving Peace Officer and Secretary, Ohio state chapter of Oath Keepers -

“I believe that if and when those orders come, I cannot in good faith and in strict observance to my oath, allow myself to be a part of them. I would hope that members of our military in accordance to the articles of the UCMJ, would also refuse them as well. When that time comes I will do exactly as I have sworn to do, I will serve and protect those under my care, so help me God.”

Oath Keepers Launches National Effort to Recall and/or Remove Members of Congress Who Voted for NDAA Military Detention. Merry Christmas, U.S. Congress!

Oath Keepers has launched a national effort to recall (or remove by any other lawful means) all of the oath breaking members of Congress, in both the House and Senate, who voted for the National Defense Appropriations Act of 2012 (NDAA), which contains provisions that authorize indefinite military detention and trial by military commission of “any person” – including U.S. citizens and lawful residents – upon the mere say-so of the President or one of his subordinates in the Executive Branch, such as within the Department of Defense or CIA.

The Daily Bell Interviews Gerald Celente

December 14, 2000, USA Today, the headline read, “2001 Won’t be our year, Trend Seer says.” And I warned that a wave of anti-Americanism was sweeping the globe and Americans wouldn’t be safe at home or abroad. A number of years earlier in one of my other books, Trends 2000, I coined the term “Crusades 2000″ and said there would be major terror strikes against the United States because of their foreign policy and how they were supporting dictators around the world, these monarchs and autocrats and on and on in these Muslim worlds. So this forecast comes out in December 2000, and of course, September becomes 9/11. Now I am getting flooded by the media. “How did you predict this? How did you know this was going to happen?” I said, “Are you kidding me? I have been writing about this. It has to do with foreign policy.” That was the kiss of death! “NO IT WASN’T! It was because they hate our freedom and liberty! I just heard George Bush say that,” they said.

Proposed RNC Agenda 21 Resolution

The RNC has drafted a resolution which will be presented for inclusion in the 2012 RNC platform. This resolution seeks empowerment to expose the United Nations’ Agenda 21. That is a remarkable victory for the Liberty Movement in America, and especially for all Constitutionalists and Patriots. In my opinion, it is a promising return step, a steering back toward Barry Goldwater style Republicanism.

Oath Keepers Joins the Fight Against SOPA – Blackout of Oathkeepers.org Jan. 18

On January 18th, 2012, from 8am to 8pm Eastern, the Oath Keepers website will go dark to protest the looming SOPA (House) and PIPA (Senate) Bills. We are joining with many other websites across the internet who are also going dark in protest.

Brandon Smith: Decentralization Is The Only Plausible Economic Solution Left

“While there are numerous concerns and great tribulations to be confronted and solved in our age of bedlam, from the rise of police states, to political treason, to expanding wars abroad, first and foremost, we must surmount the problem of economic collapse, or all else will be lost. Economic collapse is the trigger by which all other tyranny is made viable. It is the rationalization that will be used to convince the public that the loss of freedom is a “crucial tradeoff” for increased safety. The more centralized we as a nation become, the more centralized the world becomes, the less likely we will be to weather the tidal wave of collapse. The more decentralized we become, the more localized and independent our communities, the less we will be affected by destabilization, the more successful we will be as a people, the less rationalization the government will have to diminish our freedoms, and the greater leverage we will have if they try to diminish them anyway.”

Dead On Arrival: SOPA Shelved Indefinitely, Obama Succumbs to Pressure, Issues Official Veto Threat

Amid significant pressure from tens of thousands of internet users and major web behemoths like Google, Facebook, and Reddit, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is, in its current form, Dead on Arrival:

Misguided efforts to combat online privacy have been threatening to stifle innovation, suppress free speech, and even, in some cases, undermine national security. As of yesterday, though, there’s a lot less to worry about.

The first sign that the bills’ prospects were dwindling came Friday, when SOPA sponsors agreed to drop a key provision that would have required service providers to block access to international sites accused of piracy.

Brandon Smith: NDAA Protests End In Ironic Swarm Of Arrests

Of course, any establishment system which is willing to dissolve the inherent liberties of its citizens certainly isn’t going to stand by quietly while they blatantly point out the injustice.

Captain Ed W. Freeman _ Medal of Honor

After medical evacuation helicopters refused to fly into the area due to intense enemy fire, Captain Freeman flew 14 separate rescue missions, providing life-saving evacuation of an estimated 30 seriously wounded soldiers — some of whom would not have survived had he not acted. All flights were made into a small emergency landing zone within 100 to 200 meters of the defensive perimeter where heavily committed units were perilously holding off the attacking elements.

A Moment Of Inspiration

Therefore, let us be a worthy example for our posterity by walking worthily of the freedom whereby we have been made free and by never returning back to the beggarly elements of slavery; for we are not children of the bond woman of old Europe but we are free born under these western skies, and free we must remain, for you are children of noble parental blood – they never quit, neither must you.

5th Special Forces Viet Vet Weighs In

I just joined “Oath Keepers” because our great republic is
slipping away from us. We have to be aggressive in preserving
our great Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Who is trying
to take this all away? Our own government, that’s who.

Michael LeMieux: NDAA FOLLOW-UP AND FURTHER TREASONOUS ACTS

We have seen and heard from the Department of Homeland Security of persons they consider a threat to national security and to the government of the United States. They are returning combat veterans who would have the skill of arms and combat, single issue voters such as abortion, gun rights, 10th Amendment, etc., people with Ron Paul bumper stickers or gun rights bumper stickers, or people who believe in the Constitution. These people have been portrayed by the DHS and the FBI as potential terrorists.

Ron Paul Bombs The Establishment!

A truth which has been buried for half a century can be quite distasteful when discovered by those who have been deceived. In this case it is the ultimate blowback. The Ron Paul campaign is appealing to America’s youth to join him in exposing the secret wars of the CIA, conducted mercilessly in the interest of American and International corporations while using this nation’s military to police their world-wide trade lanes and control belligerent nation-states.

Brandon Smith: New Asian Union Means The Fall Of The Dollar

The genius of globalization is not in how it “works”, but in how it DOESN’T work. Globalization chains mismatched cultures together through circumstance and throws us into the deep end of the pool. If one sinks, we all sink, enslaving us with interdependency. The question one must ask, then, is if all sovereign economies are currently tied together in the same way? The answer is no, not anymore. Certain countries have moved to insulate themselves from the domino effect of debt implosion, one of the primary examples being China.

Chuck Baldwin: RON PAUL IS THE ONLY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WHO GETS IT

The day after Christmas, TheHill.com posted this report quoting Dr. Paul. “GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul warned that the National Defense Authorization Act, which was passed by Congress this month, will accelerate the country’s ’slip into tyranny’ and virtually assures ‘our descent into totalitarianism.’

Brandon Smith: The Economic Solutions Of Vampires

The bottom line; we are being drained of our lifeblood as a country. However, the mainstream media is rife with talk of “recovery”, and one might ask how this could be possible. An overwhelming spectrum of solutions has been presented over the past 3-4 years, and each one has given the stock market a little push towards the green, so what’s the problem? The problem is, the actions taken by our government and banking elites have built the connecting strands of a spider’s web, instead of a safety net. Let’s examine some the most common solutions presented to the increasingly desperate American public and why these delusions have lulled us into the role of victim in the most elaborate monster movie of all time…

Christmas Message From Stewart Rhodes

“O hush the noise, ye men of strife, And hear the angels sing.”

Karen Kwiatkowski: Defending The Documents

Because most political candidates unconsciously reveal their utter lack of Constitutional knowledge, we feel especially blessed any time a true Constitutionalist steps up to the plate and goes to bat for the Founding Documents.

Cops Ready for War

In Montgomery County, Texas, the sheriff’s department owns a $300,000 pilotless surveillance drone, like those used to hunt down al Qaeda terrorists in the remote tribal regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan. In Augusta, Maine, with fewer than 20,000 people and where an officer hasn’t died from gunfire in the line of duty in more than 125 years, police bought eight $1,500 tactical vests. Police in Des Moines, Iowa, bought two $180,000 bomb-disarming robots, while an Arizona sheriff is now the proud owner of a surplus Army tank.

Sheriff’s Deputy Upholds Constitution

“I am proud of my oath and I am proud of my country and I will defend my country with my life. Those who attack our Constitution should be rejected as tyrants, for they act only in their own interest and the interest of organizations and special interests that consider the Constitution an obstacle in their path of riches and power.”

Active Duty Soldier Stands With We The People

If &/or when the Government turns on its people it would include every one. Our brother, sisters, Mothers, Fathers, cousins, EVERY ONE! We (soldiers, veterans, police, etc) need to stand side by side against any one that threatens our constitution & our way of life.

Veterans And Troops Support Ron Paul

Ron Paul continues to garner vastly more financial support from our troops than all other Republican candidates combined. The key to understanding this is in an understanding of history.

New York Times: U.S. Agents Launder Mexican Profits of Drug Cartels_Updated

Part of our awakening involves recognizing that we, as a country full of good people, have been mercilessly and relentlessly lied to by the very government we depend upon to represent us. The DEA has laundered billions of dollars for the drug cartels at the same time the ATF has armed the drug cartels. None of that would be possible without the Federal government spearheading its so-called “War on Drugs”. Whatever else a firefighter, cop, or soldier decides regarding the Oath, please – Please! – do not turn your tax-dollar-financed arms upon your own people.

Sheriff Mack Announces Lawsuit Against SPLC, Run for Congress

At a speech in Sacramento, California, on December 10, Richard Mack, former sheriff of Graham County, Arizona, and founder of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA), announced that within a matter of days he will be filing a lawsuit in federal court against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for slander, libel and defamation.

Tennessee Conducts Door to Door Preparedness Checks

The Metro Public Health and the Tennessee Department of Health will be using a tool designed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to go door to door and check to see how disaster ready you are.

The door to door assessment will take place from 3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Thursday and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday. It will be in 30 neighborhoods in Davidson County that have been randomly selected to be the target of a door to door assessment.

Audio: Stewart Rhodes on the “Baldy & the Blonde Radio Show” discussing Senate Bill 1867

Oath Keepers Receive Tip of National Guard Unit Stand-Down, Refusing to Answer Questionnaire Asking if They Would Use Lethal Force Against the American People

The below tip was posted on the official Oath Keepers Facebook Page by user “Pat Lowe.”  We are in the process of verifying this tip, so it is as of yet unconfirmed, but we wanted you to be aware of it (it certainly would be good news for a change!).  We will post and send [...]

Battlefield US: Pentagon arms police departments with free heavy weaponry

Even if these gargantuan gun and ridiculous weaponry don’t end up parked in front of your local police station, don’t worry — you’re sure to see them soon enough. Under the National Defense Authorization Act passed by Congress last week, the US military will have legal jurisdiction to enforce the law on American citizens and detain and torture them indefinitely, without charge. And don’t think you’ll be able to hide, either—the Federal Aviation Administration announced last month that they will soon allow robotic, unmanned surveillance drone aircraft into the skies above the United States. AeroVironment Inc. has created a drone helicopter for police monitoring and intends on sending 18,000 of them to law enforcement agencies once the crafts have cleared for take-off.

Blind Obedience to the State: The Sheep Are Now Ready for Slaughter!

To obey the restrictive rules crafted by the politicians, and without resistance, is to guarantee the destruction of liberty. It is not only a fatal form of apathy, but it is also the basis for the destruction of our soul. Politicians after all, are the lowest form of man, and do not deserve respect when their aim is to rule over and control the rest of us. For what are we if we simply do as others in power demand, without the courage to stand up for what is right? What are we if we bow our heads in fear when our fellow man is being trampled? What are we when we allow all that we have earned to be taken from us by force, and say or do nothing to stop it? What have we become when the worth of a man is judged by his allegiance to the state?

Brandon Smith: When Governments Go Rogue

Brandon Smith: “We did not create this division. The American people did not ask to be targeted. Though we certainly have not done enough to fend off the numerous attacks upon our general liberties, the root of the problem still lay within the core of our government, the puppet leaders who abuse it, and the corporate elitists who use it as a staging ground for personal agendas. We have become two separate groups that cannot and will not be reconciled. The government is openly admitting this through legislation like the National Defense Authorization Act. Its time we did the same.”

Deputies Refuse to Evict 103-Year-Old From Home

Lee’s reprieve from eviction is one of the latest cases of homeowners avoiding foreclosure, thanks to acts of good Samaritans. Recently, a disabled veteran who sustained severe injuries in Afghanistan, held on to his home in Costa Mesa, Calif., after news of an imminent foreclosure on the house prompted a flood of donations. And earlier this month another vet was able to halt foreclosure on his home after gathering more than 14,000 signatures protesting the proceedings against him.

Stop Indefinite Detention of U.S. Citizens Without Due Process

Below is an urgent alert from the John Birch society regarding Senate Bill 1867, the Defense Authorization Act of 2012, which will give clear congressional support and authorization for indefinite military detention and military trial of American citizens. If passed, this will amount to a declaration of war against the American people, authorizing the Obama Administration and all future administrations to treat Americans the same as citizens of occupied Iraq or Afghanistan, subjecting us all to military jurisdiction and the jurisdiction of the international laws of war, rather than our Bill of Rights and our domestic criminal laws, upon the mere say so of Obama or one of his minions.
