Sheriff Richard Mack (RET) Responds to Southern Poverty Law Center Smear Attack on Oath Keepers and on Sheriff Mack
NOTE: The ironically wealthy Southern Poverty Law Center (truly a “hate” group in its own right) has now attacked Oath Keepers, using the same tired tactic of deliberately lumping us in with racists and neo-nazis (as if all those who oppose anything Obama does just MUST be racists down inside). Here is the SPLC screed: Link
Below is the response of Sheriff Richard Mack, one of our keynote speakers on April 19, who is given special attention in the smear attack. I’ll have more to say on the other side. – Stewart Rhodes.
Sheriff Richard Mack (RET) Responds to Southern Poverty Law Center Smear Attack on Oath Keepers and Sheriff Mack
August 14, 2009
www.oathkeepers.org
Richard Mack press release:
In all the years that Morris Dees and his Southern Poverty Law Center (a name to this day I still don’t understand) have been writing about me, not once has anyone in Dees’ office nor he personally, ever made any attempt to contact me to get my side of the “information” they put out about me. Dees has claimed that I am some icon of the militias and quite honestly, I have no idea where he gets this stuff. I have had no contact with any militia group and have never been a member of any militia. What little I do know about militia groups is that they do appear to be much more honorable people than Morris Dees. The SPLC ought to follow the rules of common decency and stop spreading their own hate speech about people they know very little about.
Anyone who has heard me speak at the Oath Keepers ceremony in Lexington or anywhere else in the country, know that I abhor violence and have never advocated or encouraged such tactics. In fact, at the Lexington Oath Keepers event I spoke of my admiration for Rosa Parks and how we should all follow her example. What does the SPLC call Rosa Parks? I simply suggest that we should all stand against stupid laws just as she did; and yes, even if some of those laws today are IRS tax codes, many of which are the epitome of stupidity.
If Morris Dees and his SPLC believe the words in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence are offensive and extreme, then I suggest he find a place to live that is not given to such “hate speech.” Those of us who do not believe in putting Americans in concentration camps (as the government did to Japanese Americans during WWII) or don’t believe in gun control or out of control spending or bailouts for Wallstreet criminals or the trampling of our freedoms by those in office who swore to protect the same, just because we don’t believe in such things does not make us racists. Mr. Dees, why don’t you tell us all how much money you have made by spreading such misinformation?
I challenge Morris Dees to an honest open debate about any or all of these issues. If he really believes his information to be true; he should have no problem accepting my offer.
Sheriff Richard Mack (RET)
MORE FROM STEWART RHODES:
Apparently, the SPLC finds it particularly worrisome that active duty and retired military and police would dare to gather on April 19, 2009 on Lexington Green and renew our oaths to defend the Constitution. The horrors!
Next I will be posting the response of Navy LCDR David Gillie (who also spoke at Lexiongton), and then my own response.

Stewart,
you and Sheriff Mack are right on about the SPLC and as a fellow Oath Keeper, you have my full backing and support and will help to inform the General Public about them in addition to getting the word out about Oath Keepers!
I am not a police officer nor do I have any military experience, however I an an American citizen, and I thank all of you for your courage and conviction. Thank you, David
Please keep up the good work Sheriff Mack and Stewart. I was reading the “report” (i.e., propaganda) on the train going into work this morning, and I had to catch myself so that I wouldn’t utter several expletives where everyone could hear me. I was totally disgusted, insulted, and generally just pissed off! I have read most of the DHS/Fusion Center and state documents that call us ALL terrorists, and I’m tired of it. I’ll defend (again) their right to free speech, but I will not defend their right to use it against us to put us into camps or to totally destroy what is left of this country. They never debate anyone, since they are cowards and they know that they’d never win. If the country goes down and they implement “their” lists, just let me say that we have our own and they are up at the very top!
WELL DONE Sheriff Mack.
Your response was “spot on”.
Oath Keepers Must be seriously worrying the socialists and the New World Order shills of all stripes.
I was recently reminded by a friend that “To be despised by the despicable is an Honor of sorts.” or words towards that meaning.
My, unrequested I admit, opinion is to let them ramble on and only respond with calm and clear responses of our Mission Statement and our What We are Not List.
To actively argue with them is to lower yourself onto their gameboard not Ours.
This “slam” is, backhandedly granted, an advertisement that we could not have afforded nor would we have been “allowed” If we had asked.
They will ask their “followers” to contact their Peace Officers and law makers to “check up” on us NEVER REALIZING that those Peace Officers and law makers all swore to the same oath that we are Keeping. I especially like that part.
Well Done Oath Keepers.
It is now especially important to “Stay On Mission”.
Not On Our Watch !
CaptGooch
When somebody is drowning if you’re not careful. They will pull you under with them so let’s be careful and stay on mission. What we are doing is just, and it is right and we must not waver.
Well said Sir!
We here are all bound by the truth, while they get to play fast and loose with the facts.
However, only the lemmings will buy it, seeing how the video of your speech is availible right here on this site.
That’s the cool part about being the Goodguys, your ducks are always in a row.
Your “Deeds” are well documented Mack!
God Bless ya!
Thanks, Richard for your comments regarding the smear. If these so-called authorities in law are labeling Oathkeepers as racists and extremists, then why don’t they tell us who the “good guys” are if patriots and law-abiding citizens are the “bad guys?” How about challenging them to that question since they have all the answers?
There are those who seek violence, to effect it on others. There are those who fear violence, not as cowards, but as brave men who have an experiential recognition for the horrors it can bring, even to brave men and women. There are heros who, wither a proper respect for the horrors of war, do not shy away from it but stand in the face of tyranny … and some have paid the ultimate price for their honorable sacrifice of life for the liberty & well-being of others.
Oath Keepers is not an organization who seeks violence nor self-aggrandizement but rather are people who are honor-bound … people who love this republic and the constitution more than themselves and are prepared to put their lives on the line, should bring violence to this republic.
Oath Keepers are not about bringing violence to the door of any other but rather are gate keepers and guardians, empowering others to recognize their constitutional liberties and responsibilities and to call them to the defense of The Constitution and to her people.
If violence is brought, then the Oath Keepers will not be the offenders but will rather be the defenders of the innocent and the shepherds of the of the defenseless.
Make no mistake , our foes are scared to death of us. The more we encroach into their sacred domain the more frantic they become. When they start hurling insults they are not far from a full blown retreat. Our message is getting out , our power is increasing , our resolve is never ending. To all OATH KEEPERS , continue to educate our brothers and sisters and spread our message. We are RIGHT , and no matter all the hate filled words this fact will never change. We WILL win this battle and bring our wounded LADY LIBERTY from the battle field and nurse her back to health and restore her to her place of greatness. The FLAME of FREEDOM will never be snuffed out!
Thank you very much Ret.Sheriff Mack.
It is clear for anyone even with rudimentary reading skills, the age old saying, that when words fail or run out, the fists come out.
Unfortunately in this verbal media “battle”, the fists are taking the form of a far to well known and easily recognizable foe, such as smear campaigns.
When they run out of facts, they turn to politics oldest tricks, by trying to paint an evil face of the opponent to subdue the public opinion.
It is clear, that as people wake up to this unproductive political debacle and they focus on the issues, the “other side” has no solid facts to bring to the table.
I for one cannot understand the name of the SPLC either, and if they intended to present an alternative to civil/criminal defense funding for less financially endowed, they surely seem to be taking the side of the fictional prosecution more than the defense.
I had the privilege of speaking with Sheriff Mack before and after his presentation in Lexington. I was honored to be able to listen to his very intelligent, compassionate and perfectly delivered speech. I stood with him, Stewart Rhodes, Dave Freeman, Lcdr David Gillie and so many others on Lexington Green and re-affirmed my Oath.
I had been checking on the principles of Oath Keepers for a while before going to Lexington in April. Having spent most of my adult life in police work I was skeptical. I read the 10 Orders and what really peaked my interest was “What We Are Not.” It would appear that Morris Dees missed this very important part of the Oath Keepers philosophy. Deliberately, I suspect. After spending several days with some of the most honorable people I have ever met, I officially joined Oath Keepers. I have not regretted one moment of that decision. I am amazed every day with the quality, integrity and love of this country displayed by the members of this organization. I traveled to Montana in July to participate in an Oath Keepers organizational meetings and met more of the core group. All people of great honor, integrity and unquestionable love for this country and the mission of Oath Keepers.
For the SPLC, or anyone, to sit behind a keyboard, not verify ANY information or investigate their subject just shows their level of integrity. They, and those like them, are cowards. They attack good and honorable people in an attempt to discredit and malign them for their own despotic reasons. They will fail. What they also overlooked was we respect the right of people to dissent or disagree. We evidentally expect too much when we anticipate some degree of truth or accuracy or integrity. Obviously, they are void of that concept.
It has been a blessing for me to have been associated with honorable people during my career. Although retired for several years I continue to serve and associate with honorable people. Something people like Morris Dees will never experience.
First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. Then they fight you.
THEN YOU WIN.
Stand tall Oath Keepers and stay on mission.
AS Bill St. Clair noted, we can’t buy better advertising for any price.
Sheriff Mack, thank you for this article. Well said. I note that your presentation at the Three Forks, Montana, Oath Keepers conference last month is actually on film – for the record. I trust our good men at Oath Keepers national headquarters will be kind enough to send this footage to the SPLC.
Thanks for all you’re doing each day to help save our beloved America.
If the SPLC leaves us alone, we win – and if the SPLC attacks us, we win. I’m totally pleased that SPLC has exposed the consciousness with which they’re influenced the Department of Homeland Security, as evidenced by DHS’ previous two stabs of idiocy earlier this year in their Fusion Center documents on profiling American citizens for law enforcement. This smear is so obviously a weak attempt to defame that I can’t believe SPLC’s headquarters let this one get published on their site. Amazing grace, yes?
The SPLC is attacking our military and law enforcement for honoring their oath of service. The very act of publishing this madness is an indictment on the SPLC’s loss of contact with reality. Thank you, SPLC!
Salute!
Elias

Thank you for Your Service
Michale
I thank ALL of You, whom are dedicated to the convictions of the oath(s) You keep.
For anyone to attack your organization/members, shows the mental ‘acuity’ of the attacker, not the attackee. The attacker(s) appear to suffer from chronic cranial-rectal inversion syndrome. (would that be a physical, or mental disability? Either way, maybe pity and prayer is what they need…?)
As a citizen, with no law enforcement and no military service history, I too have an oath to keep:
I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation under God, indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.
Recently, not feeling represented in the US Senate, I sent the oath of office, from the US Senate website, to our Senators (Liberals Murray and Cantwell of WA). Their responses…well, not the point here.
The following are links to the oath of office(s), for those elected to Federal office. Maybe they all need to be reminded to keep their oaths.

Sherriff Mack, I am a former military enlisted man as well as the proud son of a well-respected law enforcement officer. I wholeheartedly support you and will stand beside you. It does pique my curiosity as to why a bunch of lawyers(highly paid at that)would name themselves the Southern POVERTY Law Center? Hmmm…
I have had no contact with any militia group and have never been a member of any militia.
Bzzzzt. Wrong. Sheriff, Mack, you know that as an Officer of the Court, you cannot claim ignorance of the law. You were certainly between the ages of 18 and 45, inclusive, and able-bodied. Ergo, you WERE part of a militia.
U.S. Code as of: 01/19/04
(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age…
(b) The classes of the militia are -
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the UNORGANIZED MILITIA, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.
__________________________________
It is undoubtedly true that all citizens capable of bearing arms constitute the reserved military force or reserve militia of the United States as well as of the States.

As more of us become Oathkeepers, and as more of our neighbors and fellow workers become aware of our commitment to our oath, they who know that we, as individuals, are not war-mongers, racist, white-supremacist or any of the ad hominum labels so freely used when our positions cannot be impugned, will know that the attacks against us are false, which means that those who are attacking are false. As long as we stay true to what we will and will not do, our actions will be our testimonies. Say on, Sheriff Mack!
I wish to commend you on what you are trying to do. I have always believed, and with much evidence to backup this belief, the SPLC is one of, it not the biggest, racist group in America. Morris Dees is a miserable man, a true racist of the worse kind. He is a racist who pretends to protect others from what he calls “racist”. He is a pathological serial liar, and certainly no spokesman for freedom, as he wishes himself to appear to be.
Please, keep it up and do not be derailed by useless people such as him and his communist organization. Morris Dees, is the poster child for why we need groups such as yours to defend freedom. He is one of the gravest threats to freedom the people face.
The_Omegaman
“Oath Keepers” membership are “sheep dogs” who’s mission is to protect the “sheep” from the “wolves”. Compared to the SPLC who’s membership are race baiting, liberal fascist, poverty pimps. What really gets me is the SPLC is supported by the American taxpayers money.
The thing that is so depressing, frightening, sad is that as we look at history, we have to see that significant change in public policy (government intrusion) has only come about through violence and bloodshed. I fear greatly the prospect of armed revolt or civil war in our Republic. Sometimes the very thought of it makes me literally sick at my stomach. I detest and abhor violence. I am a veteran. I have seen the inconceivable horror and pain of war. If it were possible to end all war and hate and to keep government at bay forever, I would be willing to offer my life to make it all come to pass. Sadly, many have paid with their life and were scammed. They paid the price and didn’t get the “merchandise.”
Can we make the necessary changes without hate, without bloodshed? If so, let me know. I’m in.
Bottom line: Whatever the price, freedom is our most valuable and prized possession. If we lose that, life is not worth living.
Once in a while the Lord will send us a man who is very much in touch with “common sense”. In these trying times…, I find Sheriff Mack to be that person. Not that he is the only one but that he is part of the solution and has addressed the problem. AND THATS why he is most likely to be atacked personally by think tanks and Globalist organizations who could care less about Americans and their sovreignty on their Constitution.
Thank God for Oath Keepers and Richard Mack- I am ex Navy and have not served for many years but I fear for my country under the Obama admn. We are heading for a showdown with this despot and hope and pray to Almighty God enough men and women of our police and military are supportive of Oath Keepers and the Constitution. We-the -people will be fighting at tea parties and townmeeting every day and in every way to stop his power grab of our freedoms. Thank you for being at our backs. Keep up this very good work, and GOD BLESS you. Hooorahhh!!!!!
Very interesting.
Well, we know who has never given their Oath… at least to America’s Constitution. Get ready, be patient, get in shape (for we grumpy salts it’s still a pain in the… well).
For you young troop, keep still, listen, study that document we have all swore to defend.
And smile, Ladies and Gentlemen. Life is very good even at the worst of moments

I just wanted to thank you for your stand to honor the Constitution. I also wanted to tell you that I am taking a class in college Cultural Diversity and the class syllabus sent me to a website for the Southern Poverty Law Center as a source for an assignment. It looked like it was just about not being prejudiced and I signed up to put myself on the map as someone who isn’t prejudiced. That happened just today. I had no idea what they were really all about. I happened to go to blog that one of my twitter friends sent me that mentioned the SPLC as being connected to Obama. That alarmed me. Now I see here what they are really about and I’m upset that I signed up to be on their map. I trusted my college and I shouldn’t have. I’ve only been taking classes since Dec. and I knew colleges are supposed to be liberal but I didn’t realize it was THAT bad. What should I do? Should I be worried that they have my name and location?
Hi: I just got an e-mail about Sheriff Mack from a friend.What a joy when I looked and read what he and the OATHKEEPERS are standing for. I came as an immigrant to this country and became an AMERICAN CITIZEN and I am proud of it.I am a strong believer in our constitution. I know the dangers we are facing when we loose our freedom of choice. We get information from many sources what is wrong with our country and our Government (Fox New, Rush, Beck); but I have waited for someone to lead us back to what made America great, the land of the brave and the free, without fear of our own government and the forces that want to enslave us in our own country from within.
You have my vote and support. I may be old and retired, but I can still can stand up for FREEDOM.
Helmut H. Lihs, proud American.
This is Great ;finally some legal force can help us get our lands back. As American Indians we have had millions of acres of lands taken illegally from us by one form or another . If you have sworn an oath to defend the Constitution, surely you all know Article 6 section 2, (I paraphase for brevity) This Constitution …and Treaties made are the Supreme Law of the land … The land I live on was never paid for, taken illegally by Robert Morris who represented 11 illegal aliens known as the Holland Land Co.(aliens could not legally buy land in the US at that time and they did it through an illegal treaty that was never ratified by Congress. The 1794 Treaty with the Six Nations at Canandaigua was violated, also the Treaty of Fort Harmar and the Treaty of Fort Stanwix, among others. I am American Indian and my land is in danger of being lost with an illegal lien that has been placed upon it. Can you help me and other American Indians get our lands back? We entered into Treaties in good faith agreements and George Washington told us that they were good as long as’the sun shines, the grass, grows and the rivers flow’. We have kept our part of the bargain, fought in your wars, become Americans. Will you keep your oath to US, too?
Subject: Bozeman paper interview w Steward Rhodes & Elias Alias
Here’s a teaser from the full article found in the link below:
“We think there is cause for concern,” said Travis McAdam, executive director of the Montana Human Rights Network.
And the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks “extremist” activity throughout the country, in a report this month points to the Oath Keepers as a “particularly worrisome example of the Patriot Revival.” The SPLC further reports that it’s likely only a matter of time before some segment of the Patriot Revival becomes violent.
The Department of Homeland Security considers groups that reject federal authority in favor of local authority “rightwing extremists,” according to an April 7 “threat analysis” released by the agency.
And that doesn’t sit well with Alias.

Radical Leftist Polarization of Law Enforcement Personnel !
From the desk of Paul Stramer — Monday August 24th, 2009
The radical leftist Montana Human Rights Network, along with the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Lee Newspapers chain, and some federal agencies, are involved in a borderline criminal conspiracy attempting to demonize, scandalize, slander and paint all law abiding and freedom loving Americans as criminal, or potential terrorists. They are liars and political agitators. They abuse their power of communication and free speech to promote lawless hate against law abiding, and freedom loving people nationwide and worldwide.
The reality is that they themselves are the real terrorists. They endorse the radical leftist agenda and threats of taking guns away from law abiding citizens, making everyone dependent upon a socialist or communist police state for their very lives, taking away private ownership of property, destroying freedom of speech and of the press with their so called “hate crimes” legislation, and destroying the most successful document of government ever devised by man and inspired by God, the Constitution for the United States of America, the SUPREME LAW OF THESE UNITED STATES.
These organizations don’t believe in the Rule of Law. They believe in the rule of men making the rules as they go, and their leader is the person who claims to be the President, while hiding all evidence of his eligibility, and organizing “communities” of lawless street agitators like ACORN and SEIU and other highly paid subversives intent on destroying the rule of law and replacing it with total government control of every facet of your lives.
These organizations are feeding the Federal fusion centers, and all federal, local and state agencies with FALSE INFORMATION designed to create paranoia in the ranks of “Law Enforcement” and polarize them against anyone who talks against the radical left agenda. This is the classic communist strategy of radicalization used to stir up hate and discontent among the public, and goad private freedom loving residents into some kind of physical conflagration.
Communists have used this method in every country they have subjugated throughout their history. They will and have gone so far as to plant agent provocateurs inside various freedom groups who will goad members into some illegal activity, so the radicals have the opportunity to further radicalize and demonize those organizations. Ask Randy Weaver about that? Was Timothy McVeigh one of these agents, and was he a patsy just like he said he was? Why were they in such a hurry to kill him if not to shut him up because he knew too much about who really engineered that attack?
Sorry boys, we are smarter than that.
You are wasting your breath, because the people don’t believe your tired old lies and buzzwords any more. They don’t believe that the word Militia is a bad word even though every time you use it you attempt to associate the word with some lawless warlord in Somalia or some other country. We know that the lawful militia is a concept embodied in the early history of our nation and is greatly responsible for our freedom early on in our history. We know that the militia is embodied in the laws of our country and that the concept is perfectly lawful. If you don’t believe it, don’t take my word for it.
Go to the internet and read for yourselves.
http://www.newswithviews.com/Vieira/edwin71.htm
http://www.newswithviews.com/Vieira/edwin72.htm
We the People don’t believe that your tired old buzzword “Freeman” means “criminal” like you want it to mean, since a true Free Man is a We the People resident and Created being who did “ordain and establish” the Supreme Law, the Constitution for the United States as a law for GOVERNMENT to follow, in order to SECURE the unalienable God given rights bestowed on Man by God in man’s very nature.
We don’t believe your tired old buzzwords “Right Wing Radical” since a true right wing radical would be an anarchist who believes in no law or government at all, which is the real opposite of your Radical Leftist agenda of TOTAL GOVERNMENT made perfect in communism, the rule by the bullet or threat and intimidation thereof. We know that the only difference between your leader’s socialist agenda and communism is that socialism is totalitarianism by the ballot, while communism is totalitarianism by the bullet.
We also know that you preach freedom only to use it as a cloak for malice. All we have to do is go to your websites to see your endorsement of immorality at all levels.
Travis McAdam is a communist/leftist agitator whether he knows it or not, and so is Morris Dees of the SPLC, insofar as from their own words they endorse all that the Marxist agenda has used throughout it’s history. Just go read what they write and endorse, and then read the communist manifesto at the link below and decide for yourself.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Communist_Manifesto
It’s really mind-blowing that the local cops and sheriff’s deputies are sucking this propaganda up like candy. They don’t bother to even talk to people who love the Constitution and freedom to get their views. They just seem to believe all this leftist propaganda without question, and they won’t study any history, or law, or any other view. Remember, law enforcement personnel, that those who refuse to learn from history are condemned to repeat it. Are you doing your own thinking or are you letting your boss or some federal agent do your thinking for you?
As a result of this propaganda, law enforcement generally now refuses to believe there are actually people out here that believe in the Rule of Law, and are willing to put their lives on the line to protect the Supreme Law so everyone can continue in Freedom and Liberty.
The radical leftists are liars leading liars and they will all fall in the pit of human suffering just like millions in history who have believed Satan’s lies and followed the big government deception of free bread and circuses. Those socialist and communist systems of government never work and while they are in control, millions of people suffer and die. Is that what they want? Are they deliberately trying to reduce the population without destroying the infrastructure? Is it Total Government they are after and they think they will be in the ruling class in this totalitarian structure?
Beware that this is an old song. It’s been sung throughout history. It’s the song of God’s enemies, and God always comes out on top.
Here is a history lesson for all the local cops, sheriff’s deputies, elected officials, and any other office holder whether appointed or elected that is helping this radical leftist agenda. You have nothing to fear from us freedom-loving people as long as you obey the law and take your oath of office seriously, and with an informed mind.
But when these radical leftist (read communist) organizations are done using you to subjugate the American populace, you will be the first people they will eliminate, because they know they can’t trust someone who is willing to sell out their fellow countrymen.
That is the history of communist agitators throughout the history of the leftist communist conquest of countries in the last century.
They eliminate, usually with a bullet in the head, everyone who helped them get to power. They purge their ranks of local officials, and bureaucrats that helped them create their police state. Then they go on to kill everyone they think might have a potential of creating any dissent at all. Don’t take my word for it. Google “communist purges” and do your own homework.
I am sorry you are so ignorant of history, the law and your responsibility. The classic definition of ignorance is “Not knowing what is required by one’s station in life.” You took an oath to uphold, defend and obey the Supreme Law, the Constitution for the United States of America, the only document of it’s kind in history that has secured our God given rights for well over 200 years, and the document that the whole world admires and wants to imitate. Our shores are constantly bombarded by people fleeing other forms of government because they fall far short of ours.
You have broken your solemn oath to uphold the law if you endorse the rule of men that these radical leftists promote. When you trample on the rights of private residents of the county or state you live in, you can be worse than any terrorist.
When you threaten law abiding residents with the loss of their freedom for holding to the Supreme Law, The Constitution, you are worse than any terrorist because you are the very persons who are sworn to uphold our rights and protect us from the lawless and radical leftist agenda especially if they are in a majority. We do not have a Democracy (mob rule) in America. We have a Constitutional Republic designed to protect the minority from the will of a lawless majority.
We don’t ask for much from you. We only ask you to actually read the documents you swore that oath to uphold, defend and obey, and then to OBEY THE LAW, and refuse to threaten and intimidate private law abiding residents who are only insisting on being heard.
We want you to stop falling for the lies of the radical leftist conspiracy. We want you to study the founding documents you swore to defend from all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. Then we want you to do your real duty, which is to secure the rights given by God, the author of nature itself, and which those documents embody and protect!
Until you do this you can’t be trusted by We The People to uphold your office. You can’t be worthy of your paycheck.
Ask yourself this question? Who is running your department? Is it the fusion centers or some federal agent? Are you taking their word for what is going on, rather than doing your own homework and talking to local residents about these issues? When was the last time you read the Constitutions of the USA and Montana? Do you understand what they mean? Are you doing your own thinking, or are you letting your boss hold your paycheck over your head, and just following along blindly?
Are you swallowing what Travis McAdam, SPLC, and the fusion centers are saying without checking it out. Well you should get the information about Oath-Keepers right from their own website before you do something you will regret.
http://oathkeepers.org/oath/
Don’t take the word of the people who brought you Waco and Ruby Ridge, namely federal agencies. Question boldly, embrace the truth then do your job right and with integrity. Keep your Oath. If you can’t take that heat, then get out of the kitchen, and make room for someone who will keep their oath. Perhaps someone like former Sheriff Richard Mack.

If this letter makes you angry, then you must be doing something wrong. If you are uneasy about it just call me and ask lots of questions. I can direct you to much good study written by dozens of authors that prove what I am saying about the law.

I have written to the SPLC on several occassions. They indiscriminatly label groups they don’t agree with as “hate” groups. This is very hateful in itself. They are purely political with a leftist agenda. They are dangerous because mainstream media considers them an authority. The SPLC is a politically correct poison to our society. Slanderous People Litigating Crap
I’ll take this 1 Jump Farther and Present this queation. “Exactly howmany hategroups has the SPLC created and fostered (fake Neo Nazi White Supremecist groups) is socalled collaboration with Members of the ATF and other Gov. Agents While dispersing Racist Pamphlets inorder to entrap them.) Nomatter the Allegded intentions they STILL promoted hate to those who might otherwise have been decent people.If there’s a racist group out there you can find the SPLC somewhere at the Bottom of it.As for Militias? I belong to one that accepts all races of American people.We should thank them for the M.I.A.C. Report since it’s one of the best recruiting tools we ever had.I swore My Oath in 1991.And Intend to never break it.Keep up the good work .I’d be more than Proud to Stand with all of you.
All Americans, if they are armed, constitute the “militia.” That is the spirit in which our beloved Second Amendment was written (i.e. a free state relies on her people being armed).
Of course, when our nation was won and our Constitution crafted, Americans weren’t indoctrinated into the false hope of “peaceful means” when facing their enemies.
Like another posted mentioned above, I began last winter contacting my elected representatives and requested that they confirm to me by return e-mail that they still supported and would defend the Constitution of the United States. None of them responded with that assurance. The one who responded at all sent a form letter thanking me for my interest (in what, I’m not sure!)…It is not complicated to hold the feet of dishonest people to the fire. It certainly can be a little dicey to deal with their reactions at being challenged on things they’ve been getting away with for a long time. Be of good courage. Watch your backs. Thanks to all of you. I didn’t serve in uniform, but I am a citizen who intends to stand for the Constitution of the United States in whatever way is necessary. I desire nothing violent or illegal. But we will not stand down without a fight.

There’ll be no change in their behavior until there are consequences.
I’m a US Army and Vietnam Vet and prsently a reserve cop. I swore two oaths – one when I joined the Army another when I joined the PD and am an Oathkeeper. I receive SPLCs “Intelliigence Report” because it lets me know what these radicals are up to. Subscription is free to LE and some others. Check at http://www.intelligencereport.org.
I think most should know that the splc,adl,aclu,apac and hundred’s of other anti-white/anti- Christian organisations have the same agenda and work hand in hand to keep any patriot movements from gaining ground. They use to could turn the masses off just by labeling them as racist or anti-semite’s,but since the internet more people are aware of who these peoples true agenda.It’s hard to believe patriots still shake in their boots when called a racists and tell stories to try andprove their not.Their goal is to destroy Europeon/American/Christian culture! I think it’s vital to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth.Their power will always keep the majority from telling the whole truth! If all that are completely aware spoke out at the same time, we would win our country back! I’m jewish who coverted to Christianity and am very aware of the true agenda and who’s behind it.I also took a oath to “God”and my country “America!Its sad to see that some don’t know that certain parts of history was staged like the Rosa Park bus ride.It looks like many need to de-program the propagada thats infected their brains for many years through communication control!
A very disturbing bit of information has come to light. You have at least one moderator and maybe three who are “9/11 truthers”.if so, how could you possibly be protectors of the Constitution…
Have you informed your members that this exists. I have seen the emails from one of your Moderators.This alone discredits your speech and your intent…
Erick,
I almsost fell over when I read your comment. I have seen the same email and know this Moderator. He is a subversive and a true “Truther”…I do not even think that fellow Rhodes knows this…I got word this morning that a solid member got canned because he outed three “Truthers” on their own discussion board…took guts to do but I applaud these people who find these organizations that house these people…..HooRaaa!!!!
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.
