FBI Training To Spot “Exercise Your Rights” Bumper Stickers As Anti-Government

loseem So here’s what got me thinking. I’m in State law enforcement in Ohio. I was at one of our annual 2 day training events. We were in a classroom session on Domestic terrorism. The speaker was our agencies liaison with the FBI on the Joint Terrorism Task Force that was set up after 9/11. They broke it into two categories; home grown terrorists influenced by Al Qaeda and the like; and everybody else.

So in the first category was some of the post 9/11 arrestees from Ohio like Christopher Paul and Imam Fawaz Damra, and then the second group included all white supremest groups, militia groups, people with anti-government sentiment, and anyone else who was overly religious. This part was nothing new to me, they have gone over this a few years prior. Then came the trouble…The instructor started talking about indicators which could be used to warn us of these peoples presence. Most made sense, like if the guy has a swastika on his forehead. Some others covered more discreet body markings. I didn’t have any problem with this, but then he shows us a slide of some bumper stickers. One says, “The UN is not our friend!” and the second says, “Exercise your rights, or you’ll lose them.” He goes on to say that these are good indicators that the person in this car is anti-government and probably violent.

First of all, THANK YOU for speaking out and letting the rest of us who aren’t involved in these types of briefings know what is going on. You are my hero of the day just for standing up. I am assuming you are an Oath Keeper? If not, it is time my friend.

Not On Our Watch!

It’s going to be necessary to prevent the Anti-Deformation League and the Southern Poverty Law center from training law enforcement. These are far left supervise groups that hate our freedoms. I say opt out of their ‘training’ (sic) under matters of conscious. Possibly Oath Keepers could direct us to a law firm to handle our concerns:

Thank you for this post. I personally think LEOs are key, they can’t be deployed overseas.

This shows how ridiculous the government has become. Lets add the Boy Scouts to their list because they help older people which could be a subversive activity. Thanks for standing up for the truth. I think the American peole need to start their own “traitor list” with the politicians and socialists groups out there who are delibertly trying to destroy our country and are ignoring the people and are in fact attempting to enslave us!!! These people not only need to be thrown out of office but need to be tried as traitors to the country and the constitution!

This proves the importance of the Oath Keepers mission. If Peace Officers are educated on the Constitution, they can’t be used as unwitting stooges for a tyrannical government.

They need to know that we will stand with them when they honor their Oaths, and that we will hold them accountable when they betray the Constitution.

Thanks for standing up to that traitor, Dingeman. You set the example!

Thank you for taking a stand and letting your voice be heard. Your dissent may have inspired others to boldly question the absurdity of what the FBI trainer was espousing.

I am struck by the fact that your colleagues in the room did not revolt on the spot. The fact that they did not serves as continuing testimony to a culture of complacency in every part of our society – including law enforcement.

What you experienced is precisely why we hope you will join us in what is a critical mission, i.e., to “Reach, Teach and Inspire” every person who has ever taken the oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies foreign and domestic.

Thanks again, sir!

If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace. -- Thomas Paine

"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.” -- Thomas Paine

Veterans, you swore an Oath...

I, (NAME), 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; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

So help me God

Your Oath NEVER expires! It's time to keep it!

Site Dedication

This site is dedicated to the memory of John William Adams (1925-2006), Marine and Oath Keeper extraordinaire.

John Adams, at the age of 16, lied about his age to join the Marines so he could fight against Imperial Japan in the Pacific. His enlistment date was December 10, 1941, just three days after the attack on Pearl Harbor (see below). As a Marine rifleman, he fought the Japanese from island to island, across the pacific, including at Iwo Jima. We may have good men, but we never had better.

Until his death in 2006, he was a dedicated patriot who still took his oath to defend the Republic deadly serious. May God grant you the courage to do likewise.
