Stewart Rhodes — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 22:08:04 +0000

There are members of Congress now moving to repeal Section 1021 of the NDAA of 2012. While a good start, simple repeal of the NDAA is not enough to undo the damage that has been done to our liberty, as I will explain below. Congress needs to go a step farther and clearly state, in [...]

NDAA: Open Season for the Police State

Elias Alias — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 22:21:12 +0000

[Section] 1021 has NO exceptions. There’s not even a hint of an exception. Remember, that section gave the President the authority to arrest you and a set of options on how you were to be handled. These choices are completely divorced from the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th Amendments, as well as the Treason provisions of Article III. The President’s new alternatives are… 1. Detention without trial by the military 2. Trial by a military commission 3. Trial by some other court of the President’s choosing 4. Shipping you off to a foreign jurisdiction

Ohio Peace Officer Drafts NDAA Letter For Police And Sheriffs

Elias Alias — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 18:48:47 +0000

Letter to LE by Jim Singleton, Ohio Current-Serving Peace Officer and Secretary, Ohio state chapter of Oath Keepers - "I believe that if and when those orders come, I cannot in good faith and in strict observance to my oath, allow myself to be a part of them. I would hope that members of our military in accordance to the articles of the UCMJ, would also refuse them as well. When that time comes I will do exactly as I have sworn to do, I will serve and protect those under my care, so help me God."

Oath Keepers Proves That There WERE Troops Who Refused to Confiscate Guns During Katrina

Oath Keepers — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 12:17:32 +0000

We know that wholesale gun confiscation happened during Hurricane Katrina. We watched the Chief of Police of New Orleans declare on national television that “no one [no private citizen] will be able to be armed, we’re going to take all the weapons.” We watched an old lady being tackled in her own kitchen and disarmed.

In fact, that atrocious event was one of the reasons I started Oath Keepers. But I also knew, from my service as an Army paratrooper, that there are men and women of courage, honor, and integrity in the military who would refuse to obey such orders. My goal with Oath Keepers is simply to increase their numbers and harden their resolve. But when it came to Katrina, we did not have concrete proof that some said no – until now.
