		<description>You know that it is a small percentage right now and hopefully growing that will be on the side of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. It will be like our founding fathers opposing the British all over again! The 2nd Revolutionary War is about to begin. All it will take is a false flag event or financial colapse or something else that will force martial law upon us. When it happens, it will be the bloodiest War to ever be fought on this Earth. The American Patriot will not give up til dead and the brain dead globalist army will fight like a dumb animal til dead. Unfortuantely, most of those brain dead globalist soldiers will be former US citizens. The day they shoot at their first Patriot defending the US Constitution makes them enemy of the United States Of America. As soon as the first soldier shoots at a Patriot defending the US Constitution, Every officer and government official supporting that shot is enemy of the United States of America. They may have already shot that first shot or supported that first shot and they may already be guilty of treason. When that war starts, then it will be official, the now US Government will no longer be the US Government. They will be the Globalist Government and the real US Government will be those defending the US Constitution. It will not only be a Revolutionary War but also a Civil War all in one. Every US Citizen right now needs to make a decision. Are you a US Citizen or a Global Citizen of the United Nations? You need to pick a side, for there will be no in between.</description>

		<description>Uncle Jim enlisted in the Marine Corps a few months prior to Pearl Harbor.

He assaulted Guadalcanal and various other islands then injured on Saipan with over a year in a hospital.

Korea brought him back and during the Frozen Chosin was injured again.

In the 1970s he ran and won for sheriff in a rural Nebraska community that was having trouble with hard-core drugs and outside biker gangs distributing the stuff.

Using the only effective methods available he controlled the problem. He stepped on some local toes with their hands in the pot and the FBI was called in to investigate HIM!!!!!

Basically, when they arrived not only did he refuse to cooperate he ordered them out of the county or he would arrest them.

The FBI left his county but continued the investigation from afar.

Nothing was found to pin on him and he won the next election.

Two terms was enough for him but there was no repeat of the events that led him to run for sheriff that first time.

As for Ruby Ridge and Waco he shook his head and mocked the power-hungry rookies and declared how those events could have been handled differently so as to preserve life and expenses.

He also was angered at the continuing militarization of local police that so often distances the police from the populace.

Along with Dad, may he rest in peace, Uncle Jim, who is in his 80s at the Veteran&#039;s old folk&#039;s home, would approve of Oath Keepers but he has earned his rest and mostly watches football and movies and sleeps a lot due to advanced age.</description>

		<description>The major hurdle to overcome is how the modern police academy&#039;s train their police on what the Constitution actually means and how it ought to be applied on the streets of America, just because the Supreme Court says it&#039;s ok to kick in the door of a Citizen&#039;s home without a warrant, doesn&#039;t mean it&#039;s lawful,in fact it ought not to happen but it does.

Also the military fashion of the police today borders on what Nazi Germany did,especially the so-called DOT guys, they are dressed as if they are extras on a WWII movie set,bloused trousers, combat boots,tankers ballcap, it&#039;s a mind game being perpetrated on the rest of us.</description>

		<description>In light of the discrepancies of statements made, and in light of private citizens with professional knowledge and competence in the field of computer forensics, discovering over 100 errors in documentation released from offices of Federal government, the first order on any agenda for any law enforcement officer, should be to arrest any offender, if suspected of a serious offense or crime.

What more hideous crime could there be than to try by fraudulent means to usurp the Nation as a whole.

To all you law enforcement officers out there, I urge you Keep Your Oath and do what is just and fair to protect the Constitution of the United States of America.
---

Do you need more initial evidence than what follows from this?
To the best of my knowledge, and from my professional career in security and computer sciences, the Suspicion alone warrants an Arrest or Apprehension.

OBAMAS BIRTH CERTIFICATE…

It appears that Maya Kassandra Soetoro was the original name on the Certificate which Obama claims is his Birth Certificate.

This would mean that every agreement, treaty, law and statement made since his taking the Oval Office, are invalid, including but not limited to any funding, bailout, health bills and more…

		<description>Praise the Lord for you guys givin&#039; us back a little hope, a little light at the end of the tunnel; If y&#039;all stick with us and keep the feds at bay, we&#039;ll stick with you, and win Liberty back for our kids!
My great-granddad rode with Mosby in defense of states&#039; rights during the 2nd revolution, which revisionists falsely call the &quot;civil&quot; war.
The feds need to be nailed back into their constitutional box, then we can begin the re-education process, etc.  Our standard of living would be 5 times what it is today if we hadn&#039;t been hijacked by int&#039;l bankers masquerading as the &quot;FED.&quot;  Help us help ourselves... 
&quot;Wolverines!&quot;   &quot;Molon Labe!&quot;   &quot;Sic Semper Tyrannis!&quot; &quot;Free-dom!&quot;

		<description>As an active duty Military Policeman I once stopped a station wagon that had erroneously driven onto my base in Denver, made a u-turn and was headed back off post. As I approached I noticed several children, all under the age of 7 with their 2 parents, some were crying and (apparently) EVERYTHING THEY OWNED was piled all over in what little space their vehicle could stow. When I ran the operator / father&#039;s DL, it came back on a warrant for failure to appear on a traffic ticket and I was told to place him under arrest by dispatch. Now, I was NOT one to disobey orders, nor was I one to find favor in dispensing my &#039;gut feelings&#039; in defiance of law, but something bit at me on that stop and I simply could NOT take this poor man into custody. Instead I chose to let him and his family go when afterward I was immediately called in by the watch commander. Regardless of my own scrutiny as a result, I felt the best decision was made based upon my witness to this man&#039;s obvious hard-ship and knowing God wanted me to give him a break. I later made myself aware of his “criminal charges” by running an NCIC/CCIC on his information which I kept and  discovered he had only one ticket for “failure to stop or yield for emergency vehicle” that was issued from another county in Colorado. I’m not certain as to why he’d been ordered to appear before the judge for this citation, but the fact that he failed to do so created the warrant that haunted him. 
I was surprised when my boss came to me a couple of days later with official charges against me for my &#039;lack of due diligence&#039; in failure to making the arrest and wound up defending myself in a bizarre “his freedom in exchange for my own” irony that clashed with my moral compass greatly. The end result was an informal reprimand for my ‘individual thought’ process and a life changing decision that still holds great meaning to me this very day. 
Shortly thereafter I decided to get out and took an honorable discharge from active duty, but stayed in the Reserves while working as a DOE contractor which allowed me to work alongside fellow law enforcement representing every considerable branch and / or jurisdiction on a fairly large scale. Over and over again I became familiar with a multitude of various ‘cop like’ personalities associated with the shiny badge.  What I learned revealed that indeed, I am not gifted in mechanical ‘go, fight, arrest, kill’ thought process and suffer from what is called ‘human emotion’.  I discovered along the way that in this world you will be challenged and woe’d, perhaps to a point of conjecture that forces the moral ambiguity to disappear and the light from God to illuminate. I knew that if I arrested that man that day, visualizing his children and wife breaking down and the aftermath that would soon follow, I wouldn&#039;t be able to look in the mirror. Instead this experience flows thru me and liberates the once strong conforming ideals that I now recognize as “mental conditioning” and / or mind control. To those officers who struggle with serving the public IAW man’s abuse of God’s Law, let me just assure you that His camera is always rolling and His truth is marching on! Don’t wait for a second chance to do the right thing. 
Blessings to all those establish themselves in the Lord. Amen~</description>

		<description>Look, folks, I GET the idea that the military should not obey illegal orders. But the military is NOT a co-equal branch of the government. Thus, the military has no business interpreting the meaning of the Constitution or organizing itself to act in a political way. None whatsoever. 

The people do not need military &quot;protectors&quot; to step in and save them from themselves. The people can defend the republic without the help of colonels in mirrored sunglasses who decide to make themselves into the moral guardians of everybody else.

Movements like this always appear to be &quot;well-meaning.&quot; They always present themselves as the &quot;honorable men&quot; who will step in and rescue the &quot;decadent&quot; and deformed republic from the &quot;dirty politicians.&quot; But doing that is the role of civilians.

Organizing the military to take on the role of &quot;putting things right&quot; is a bad, bad, bad idea. This is the road to fascism.</description>
