By Oath Keepers Editor: Elias Alias
Happy Independence Day!
I am very happy to share some good news with all my friends and acquaintances, and I hope each of you will pass this along to your lists. The upcoming film by James Jaeger and his Matrixx Entertainment is inspired by a remarkable work by Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr., entitled
THE “MILITIA OF THE SEVERAL STATES”
Guarantee the Right to Keep and Bear Arms
by Edwin Vieira, Jr., Ph.D., J.D.
I invite you on the Independence Day to read that essay here –
http://www.jaegerresearchinstitute.org/articles/militia.htm
James Jaeger’s new venture will highlight Dr. Vieira’s work, and in reading the above linked essay by Dr. Vieira we can see new hope for America. We all know that the hour is late, and many ask “what can I do?”
My suggestion is that we reclaim the “M” word, which we find in the Constitution, and recall how the Militia can now provide each and every American the lawful way to reclaim our local and State governments – by becoming a part of our County Militias. When one goes to one’s County Commission and places one’s name on the County Commission’s roster as a County Militiaman, one becomes a part of the County government.
What? You say your County does not have an office for the Militia? Well then, let’s spread the word about this wonderful movie being produced right now, help gather support for this important work, and teach our friends and neighbors about the importance of establishing an office for the County Militia in everyone’s County Commission!
Actually, as Guardians of the Republic, Oath Keepers insists that re-establishing the County Militia in each County nationwide is a joyful part of our Operation Sleeping Giant. This work is especially natural to all Veterans as well as to current serving military and peace officers. It is traditional Americanism at its finest, and this plan will return the power of the people back into the hands of the people, just as our Founding Documents decree.
This is a great idea, and something each of us can help accomplish. We the people are now awakening to the reality that we, ourselves individually and collectively, are the source for all legitimacy in government, and therefore are the source of all hope for saving America. Let 2012 be the year in which Americans everywhere remember the long-neglected power in the Constitutional Militia of the Several States!
As my gift to each of you this Independence Day 2012, please enjoy the new movie trailer embedded in the below message from Matrixx Entertainment –

Dear Concerned Citizen:
We are pleased to announce production of our new documentary film, MOLON LABE – How the Second Amendment Guarantees America’s Freedom featuring RON PAUL, PATRICK J. BUCHANAN and G. EDWARD GRIFFIN.
Inspired by the works of Constitutional attorney, EDWIN VIEIRA, JR., MOLON LABE also features SHERIFF MACK; Oath Keepers Founder, STEWART RHODES; DAVID R. GILLIE and Senatorial Candidate, JACK ROONEY.
MOLON LABE takes a look at America from the perspective of the U.S. Constitution and addresses the role the “right to keep and bear arms” and the militia play in creating true homeland security. History has demonstrated time and again that, to the degree citizens are unarmed, government suppression and tyranny are inevitable.

I believe in Militias and the 2nd Amendment, but my concern is the gathering of names and addresses of Militia members registered at the County level. Would this not give a dictatorial government a a starting place to round up citizens and their guns? Seems there is a need for a more ‘under the radar’ method of putting this force in place. Just my worries and thoughts on the subject.

Thank God that this is finally being done. We must re-establish our militia. It’s our only hope to show those who would take our freedom that we will not tolorate the treason. We are the sovereigns and they are the paid servants that need to be fired, investigated, charged, tried, convicted and at least jailed.

I think before we get all ” Up in Arms”, which I have a few, we need to think a little bit out of the box. I did not write this but oh, what genius did. It makes perfect sense! Please read and post this somewhere. Yes, we should have a militia but lets not start a war in our own yard when we can let justice work for us. My only concern, thanks to the world wide web, is that O will come to realize he will be moving soon and not want to. Then, use martial law as a way to NOT have our election in November. I keep praying he will make righteous decisions.
To all my friends, particularly those conservatives who are despondent over the searing betrayal by Chief Justice John Roberts and the pending demise of our beloved country, I offer this perspective to convey some profound hope and evidence of the Almighty’s hand in the affairs of men in relation to the Supreme Court’s decision on Obamacare.
I initially thought we had cause for despondency when I only heard the results of the decision and not the reason or the make-up of the sides. I have now read a large portion of the decision and I believe that it was precisely the result that Scalia, Alito, Thomas, Roberts and even Kennedy wanted and not a defeat for conservatism or the rule of law. I believe the conservatives on the court have run circles around the liberals and demonstrated that the libs are patently unqualified to be on the Supreme Court. Let me explain.
First let me assure you that John Roberts is a conservative and he is not dumb, mentally unstable, diabolical, a turncoat, a Souter or even just trying to be too nice. He is a genius along with the members of the Court in the dissent. The more of the decision I read the more remarkable it became. It is not obvious and it requires a passable understanding of Constitutional law but if it is explained anyone can see the beauty of it.
The decision was going to be a 5-4 decision no matter what, so the allegation that the decision was a partisan political decision was going to be made by the losing side and their supporters. If the bill was struck down completely with Roberts on the other side there would have been a national and media backlash against conservatives and probably strong motivation for Obama supporters to come out and vote in November. With today’s decision that dynamic is reversed and there is a groundswell of support for Romney and Republicans, even for people who were formerly lukewarm toward Romney before today, additionally Romney raised more than 3 million dollars today.
Next, merely striking the law without the support of Democrats and libs would have left the fight over the commerce clause and the “necessary and proper “ clause and the federal government’s role in general festering and heading the wrong way as it has since 1942. As a result of the decision the libs are saying great things about Roberts; how wise, fair and reasonable he is. They would never have said that without this decision even after the Arizona immigration decision on Monday. In the future when Roberts rules conservatively it will be harder for the left and the media to complain about the Robert’s Court’s fairness. That’s why he as Chief Justice went to the other side for this decision not Scalia, Alito, Thomas or Kennedy, all of whom I believe would have been willing to do it.
Next let’s look at the decision itself. Thankfully Roberts got to write it as Chief Justice and it is a masterpiece. (As I write this the libs don’t even know what has happened they just think Roberts is great and that they won and we are all going to have free, unlimited healthcare services and we are all going to live happily ever after.) He first emphatically states that Obamacare is unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause saying you cannot make people buy stuff. Then he emphatically states that it is unconstitutional under the “necessary and proper” clause which only applies to “enumerated powers” in the US Constitution. Justices Ginsberg, Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan all went along with these statements. They never would have gone along with that sentiment if that was the basis for striking the law in total. This is huge because this means that the Court ruled 9-0 that Obamacare was unconstitutional under the Commerce clause which was Obama’s whole defense of the bill. They also ruled 9-0 on the “necessary and proper” clause. Even better both of these rulings were unnecessary to the decision so it is gravy that we got the libs to concede this and it will make it easier to pare away at both theories in the future, which we must do. Well done.
Roberts, through very tortured reasoning, goes on to find that the taxing law provides the Constitutionality for the law. Virtually everyone agrees that the Federal government has the power to do this as it does with the mortgage deduction for federal income taxes. This too is huge because Obama assiduously avoided using the term “tax” and now he has to admit this law is a tax and it is on everyone even the poor. That will hurt him hugely in the polls and will help Romney. More importantly though is the fact that this makes this a budgetary issue that can be voted on in the Senate by a mere majority instead of 60 votes needed to stop a filibuster. That means that if the Republicans can gain a majority in the Senate, it can vote to repeal Obamacare in total.
Finally the Court voted 7-2 to strike down the punitive rules that take away money from states that do not expand Medicare as required in Obamacare. This too is huge because we got Kagan and Breyer to join this decision and it can easily be applied to many other cases of extortion the Federal government uses to force states to do things they don’t want to. This is also amazing because Obamacare has no severability clause so by striking the Medicaid mandate portion as unconstitutional the whole bill should have been struck. If that happened none of these other benefits would have been accomplished. I haven’t read far enough to know how he did it but I am sure it is brilliant.
So to recap the Roberts court through a brilliant tactical maneuver has: strengthened the limitations of the commerce clause and the necessary and proper clause by a unanimous decision, made Obama raise taxes on the poor and middle classes, converted Obamacare into a tax program repealable with 51 votes in the Senate, enhanced Romney’s and Republican’s fundraising and likelihood of being elected in November, weakened federal extortion and got the left to love Roberts and sing his praises all without anyone even noticing. Even Obama is now espousing the rule of law just 2 weeks after violating it with his deportation executive order.
That is why I have decided this was a genius decision and that I did in fact get a great birthday present today not to mention U. S. Attorney General Eric Holder being held in contempt. What a day.

Who ever came up with the name MOLON LABE for a name for a patriotic movie? couldn’t they have thought of a title that would attract and interest the public? I favor your efforts but will not donate with a title as such, as it will not accomplish its intent to educate the masses and if the title is flawed I suspect the ametuer production of the film will be too. Just my two cents.

I believe registering with our respective county commissioners is a bad idea. With the war already in full swing to restrict us from having guns or the never ending attempts to take our weapons and ammunition away… Telling them exactly where to find the armed citizenry would not be prudent. Granted we have to register firearms with the government but telling them we are ready to be activated at a moments notice could be detrimental to our reasons… quite frankly our war will be against the government I fear… I would rather they not know I am coming.

Great start…can’t wait to see the whole movie.
