Edwin Vieira Pledge Call for New Book August 2012

I take great pleasure in forwarding to our readership here at Oath Keepers an announcement by Dr. Vieira regarding the upcoming publication of his latest gift to the American people. Please share with family, friends, and email ‘lists’.

SOLICITATION OF INTEREST

FOR MY NEW MILITIA BOOK

After many years of effort, my magnum opus on the Militia, entitled “The Sword and Sovereignty: The Constitutional Principles of “the Militia of the several States”, has reached the final pre-publication stage. This book is a comprehensive study–over 2,000 pages in length, with more than 6,000 footnotes and endnotes–of the constitutional and statutory history of the Militia, with special emphasis on the role of the Militia as the ultimate institutions through which We the People provide, or withhold, “the consent of the governed”.

The book derives the basic principles of the Militia from a detailed study of the pre-constitutional Militia statutes of Rhode Island and Virginia (selected, for reasons the book makes clear, as exemplars of what happened throughout America in that era). It explains how these principles are embodied in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and how they should be applied in the operation of America’s true federal system of government–indeed, why it is every American’s duty to participate in the Militia, more imperative now than ever before. It exposes the dangerous fallacy in the contemporary “individual-rights” misinterpretation of the Second Amendment, and why the Heller decision reduced Americans’ “gun rights” to a level far below what their forebears enjoyed when the Constitution and Bill of Rights were ratified. And it examines ways in which revitalized “Militia of the several States” could, and should, deal with many of the most pressing contemporary problems this country faces–such as the supervision of rogue public officials and “the military-industrial complex”; the conduct of honest elections; the provision of an alternative currency in anticipation of the collapse of the Federal Reserve System; and the preservation of State autonomy against an ever-encroaching national para-military police-state apparatus.

I anticipate that the book–produced in a first-class hardbound edition by one of the premier printers in America–will sell at retail for somewhere in the neighborhood of $160 to $180. At this point, I need to determine whether a sufficient demand exists, so that plans for printing can be finalized. To that end, I am soliciting “statements of interest”, as it were, from prospective buyers, as follows:

1. Please send me a letter, addressed to

Edwin Vieira, Jr.

52 Stonegate Court

Front Royal, Virginia 22630

stating that you would be interested in purchasing the book when it has been printed. Please, send NO money at this time. This is not a commitment to buy the book, only a “statement of interest”.

2. Include a stamped, self-addressed envelope. I shall use it to send you a notice of the outcome of this solicitation. If enough “statements of interest” are received, the notice will include the details of publication, and a request for you to send a check or money order to secure a copy of the book. If at that time enough individuals respond with payments, the book will be printed. If not enough respond, everyone’s check will be returned.

3. On the chance that enough “statements of interest” are not forthcoming, you might want to include a second stamped, self-addressed envelope. I shall use that to inform you of any fall-back “Plan B” that may need to be followed.

This solicitation will be open for sixty (60) days from the date of its initial publication at NewsWithViews.

Thanks for your interest. I should appreciate having this notice circulated by as many people as care to do so.

A word on background of Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr.

Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr., Ph.D., has published significant contributions to America’s understanding of the U.S. Constitution, including:

Constitutional “Homeland Security”: Volume 1: The Nation In Arms

by Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr.; copyright 2007 by Edwin Vieira, Jr.; Bookmasters, Inc., 30 Amberwood Parkway, Ashland, Ohio 44805; International Standard Book Number (10): 0-9671759-2-5; International Standard Book Number (13): 978-0-9671759-2-8.

How To Dethrone The Imperial Judiciary

In addition to major appearances in various films, movies, and documentaries, such as the works of James Jaeger of Matrixx Entertainment, (See * below), Dr. Vieira has also published the definitive history of money in America, a remarkable two-volume tome entitled

“Pieces of Eight: The Monetary Powers And Disabilities Of The United States Constitution”, copyright 2002 with special GoldMoney Foundation edition 2011; International Standard Book Number 0-9671759-1-7; Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 2001126515; printed in USA by RR DONELLEY & SONS, INC. Chicago, Illinois.

Contact Dr. Vieira directly to order any of the above books and, also, to order the film documentary “The Purse And The Sword”. Dr. Vieira’s snail-mail address:

Edwin Vieira * 52 Stonegate Court * Front Royal, Virginia 22630

There is no substitute for knowledge, no alternative for truth. I am calling now for all Oath Keepers to not only purchase and study these books and films, but to take an active role in spreading the awareness of Dr. Vieira’s work in one’s community and circles of influence – because time is short for America. No other author presently publishing in America has approached the level of academic and perceptive understanding of the Constitution given us by Dr. Vieira. It is of immeasurable benefit that Oath Keepers and the Liberty Movement in general have the certain knowledge of the proper and intended understanding of the Constitution.

Salute!

Elias Alias, editor

I would be interested in helping get this book published and then obtaining a copy for myself, but I will ABSOLUTELY NOT PAY SUCH A LUDICROUS AMOUNT SUCH AS $160 TO $180 for this, or any other book, regardless of subject matter or author.

Agreed. Love Vieira! Price is ridiculously high! Needs to come down. otherwise book will be library paperweight unfortunately. Need perhaps to make it available as an e-copy download at a reasonable price plus ask for contribution towards publication, to gain added buy-in like Jaeger films, etc.

Dr. Vieira,

Certainly WE THE PEOPLE fully appreciate the thorough, time-consuming research efforts you have devoted to subject history up to the current standing of AMERICAN MILITIA. Perhaps now you might see the value of allowing a DETAILED PREVIEW of your work by PEER BODY of constitutional intellects,
perhaps to the end you may consolidate your detailed information into a SMARTLY CONDENSED PAPERBACK EDITION, to be produced for mass distribution at a more economical rate, say UNDER $50 per copy.

Providing information is valuable, yet providing too much information may well be example of the proverbial “forest for the trees”. What we need, SIR, is HANDBOOK for MASS AMERICAN MILITIA MEN.

I particularly want to hear about the lawful distinction between STATE MILITIA & CITIZEN MILITIA.

I believe this is a CRUCIAL POINT ABSOLUTELY NEEDING TO BE IMPRESSED ON ALL SOVEREIGN CITIZENS OF
EACH OF OUR MANY SEVERAL SOVEREIGN STATES–CITIZEN MILITIA are indeed BACKBONE of STATE MILITIA;
ULTIMATELY LAWFULLY AUTONOMOUS, YET COOPERATIVE WITH STATE MILITIA WHEN defending a COMMON ENEMY.
This unfortunately leaves open the possibility that STATE MILITIA is the ENEMY of CITIZEN MILITIA.

Too many times this has been demonstrated with the unconstitutional deployment of STATE MILITIA against their own and OTHER STATE’s CITIZENS. We absolutely CANNOT PERMIT ANOTHER KATRINA DISARM.

The time draws near when distinction between friend and foe will become very difficult under fire.

So, Dr. Vieria, I’d gladly pay $45 for a CONDENSED MILITIA MAN HANDBOOK. Your extensive treatment
can thus remain and serve as detailed background information, available to Patriots upon request…

Respectfully Submitted;
Harley Roy “LeeRoy” Holland, son of “DUTCH” HOLLAND, WWII bomber pilot in Stewart’s “S.A.C.” movie.

To LeeRoy” Holland @ comment #3:

LeeRoy, interesting thought. Perhaps Dr. Vieira will see it here.

I would like to offer you a rather amazing essay by Dr. Vieira, from back in 2005. This will answer much of your query, if not all. It is a long, but wonderful essay on the Militia of the Several States. And this one is free. Enjoy:

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.
