Happy New Year, And Brace Yourselves for “Interesting Times”

Happy New Year everyone! I expect 2010 will be an “interesting” year, as in the ancient Chinese curse, “may you live in interesting times.” By the way, according to wikipedia, that was merely the first of three curses of increasing severity, the other two being:

May you come to the attention of those in authority (sometimes rendered May the government be aware of you) [see how some things never change?]
May you find what you are looking for

My fellow Oath Keepers, now that we have spent time with our families, giving thanks for all we have and enjoying the peace of Christmas, it is time to ramp it up and take this baby to the next level. Time is short, and we have lots to do.

To be blunt, our nation is now on the verge of an economic Armageddon and we should prepare for the worst, while hoping we don’t follow in the footsteps of other nations in history that have stood at the edge of the same cliff we now teeter on. Problem is, the so-called “leaders” in DC, and the whole gaggle of hubris filled political/legal/media/banking elites in this nation think they can create their own reality, and arrogantly thumb their noses at the many economists who are waving their arms, trying to warn them about the simple laws of economics that are as inescapable as the laws of physics.

Refusing to listen, the elites seem hell bent on going right over the edge, dragging us along kicking and screaming.

Thanks for being onboard and for all your hard work so far. Now, let us renew our pledge of our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor in the glorious cause of liberty. Let us roll up are sleeves yet again and resolve to do all we can to save this Republic. Dig in your heals, and PULL!

However, come what may:

Tu ne cede malis sed contra audentior ito

“Do not give in to evil but proceed ever more boldly against it”

And let us do so “to the utmost extent of our power” as the motto of my old Army unit put it (Company E (LRSC), 60th Infantry, 109th Military Intelligence Battalion, 9th Infantry Division)

“To the Utmost Extent of Our Power”

For Liberty, the Constitution, and the Republic, and for our children’s freedom and future,

Stewart Rhodes

Founder and National President of Oath Keepers

I’m sure Oathkeepers, of which I am one, are aware of the Restore America Plan with Sam Kennedy and 3 others stepping up to put forward a plan do restore the Constitution as the Rule of Law in America. The military is said to be standing by to back us up when we get 27 Grand Juror/Guardians of the Republics, for all 50 states. http://www.guardiansofthefreerepublics.com
A few states like Kentucky are lagging, but we have most states all set, from what I hear. How about you? You’re moving, right?

Ever wonder what is going on with our courts? How they seem to be able to ignore the Constitution with impunity?

Here’s one answer…

I am a retired 1SG trying to get some info on a friend from my home town. His mother is worried because he has not spoken to her in a long time.

His name is Rodney E Jones. He was in LRSD Ft Lewis, WA in the early 80’s. Can you help?

So help me God.

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.
