ATTENTION MARINES AND AMERICAN PATRIOTS!  HELP OATH KEEPERS PLACE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE OF EVERY MAJOR MARINE CORPS BASE Oath Keepers Billboard on way into MCAGCC Twentynine Palms, California.

All funds raised in this campaign will be used exclusively to outreach to current serving Marines, and will be kept separate from our general billboard campaign fund.    Every penny will be used first, for billboads outside of Marine Corps bases.  That is priority number one.    We already have two billboards scheduled to go up outside of Camp Lejeune this next week!   Here is what they will look like:           Off to a great start!  The above billboards will go up this next week just outside of two entrances to Camp Lejeune.      Then, once the billboards are up, if we have enough funds left, we will run ads in the Marine Corps Gazette, and then any funds left after that will go to supply our Marine veteran volunteers with outreach materials that they can hand directly to current serving Marines on the way into the bases, such as pocket Constitutions, booklets on particular issues (such as booklets on each of our ten orders we Oath Keepers commit to refusing to obey, beginning with gun confiscation), DVDs, flash drives, and brochures.   Oath Keepers has a well established, strong track record of running a very effective, ongoing billboard campaign.   In addition to the existing Marine Corps billboard at Twentynine Palms (which was one of our first), we have successfully placed billboards at: Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas (to protest a Ft. Leavenworth instructor who characterized the Tea Party as a future domestic military enemy); in the Washington D.C. Metro subway station near the Pentagon and at the D.C. Metro stop near the White House (directly calling on Federal employees to blow the whistle on what really happened at Benghazi, and also protesting against NSA spying on Americans); in addition to billboards placed outside of Army bases such as at Ft. Hood, Texas; Ft. Benning, GA; and Ft. Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield, with the help of Oath Keepers Army veterans in Georgia and Texas (who also passed out thousands of pocket Constitutions at Ft. Hood).    Now we need more billboards outside of Marine Corps bases!    Continue reading and donate: Click Here

Resisting the police state

Resistance to tyranny is something that is as programmed into man as strongly as his propensity for oppression. Innately all of us know that we have certain rights that can only be removed by acquiescence or brute force.    For centuries philosophers have expounded the “natural rights” of man and their application within societies. Even those in prison know that they have certain rights and will begin to resist when their imprisonment becomes tyrannical. When a man becomes enslaved, he knows innately that he has the right to be free but that has been taken from him.   When our natural rights are eroded to the point of tyranny, resistance will invariably begin. Resistance ,and revolution also, are commonly misunderstood by many people. Most think of an armed struggle that involves bombs, bullets and war, but it is in fact far from that.  Resistance , as is freedom, is a thought, an idea without necessarily having a something to quantify it. Just because neither have a corporeal existence doesn’t mean that they are not there. When freedom is gone ,everyone knows it and when resistance begins it is just as obvious.     Resistance is a funny and fickle thing because it does things that are counter intuitive. The more you oppress, the more that people resist . The higher the stakes and the more the atrocities, the higher the level of resistance.    In Northern Ireland the IRA virtually did not exist as a resistance group in the late 60’s. When the native Catholic population started to rise up against the oppression and discrimination of the Brits and protestants, violence quickly escalated against them. Caught up in the civil rights era they began to march and demonstrate for not only freedom from British rule, but also an end to the discrimination against them. In response they were attacked and brutalized by the police and armed gangs of protestant militias that made incursions into their neighborhoods.    The IRA split into two groups at the point with the newly formed provisional IRA dedicating themselves to protecting Catholics and bringing the armed struggle to the Brits. The PIRA was only a handful of volunteers with few to no weapons and would have remained that way except for further oppressions by the Brits.   The British army was eventually called in to quell the sectarian violence and was initially welcomed as they secured off the Catholic neighborhoods and brought safety and security. This soon changed as the people realized that they were being quarantined, not protected. Because of this treatment the PIRA ranks were swelling with volunteers and this is the counter intuitive part of resistance.     When things got bad enough the Brits started an internment policy which allowed them to arrest and hold prisoners without trial. Many people were mistreated and others tortured under this policy but instead of discouraging resistance, the PIRA was over run with volunteers.   All of these events culminated on bloody Sunday in 1972 when British troops opened fire on unarmed protesters immediately killing thirteen. The level of resistance from this point on became open warfare. Instead of being frightened of imprisonment or live fire the resistance movement exploded in size. The PIRA had a goal of recruiting volunteers faster than they could be killed or imprisoned and easily met that goal, actually turning many away.     If you look around you will see the first signs of resistance coming in our country and it is not with violence. There are more and more signs that people are saying “I am not going to take it”

This is apparently going to have to be a multi part article as I am such a long winded  air bag that I don’t have time to work and write. I will have more coming after this.Hope you enjoy. By the way “I’m free” is my all time favorite

U.S. spying on Europeans a symptom of a paranoid government, Germans say

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2013/10/28/206711/us-spying-on-europeans-a-symptom.html

“Berlin visitors say the fact that the embassy rises above the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe is a painful testament to what can happen when a paranoid government moves unchecked.”

Of course the Germans state the truth with their typical Frank-ness. I personally am not into conspiracy theories or part of the “Black helicopter crowd” but the Germans have succinctly expressed what many of us see as obvious; The surveillance state has reached a level of paranoia that cannot be ignored.   You have to ask the question “Where does it go from here?” and answer it after studied thought to fully realize how deep the crap is that we are in.   I don’t have time to expound at the moment , but in the next few days I will have a piece on resistance to the police state.    In the meantime, be careful what you say; They are listening comrade…

Someone in Washington finally gets it right.

“It’s dangerous. It’s very dangerous. I believe, Mr. President, we are at one of the most dangerous points in our history right now. Every bit as dangerous as the break-up of the Union before the Civil War.” Sen. Tom Harkin (D) Iowa

Someone has finally looked down from their ivory tower and seen the mob forming below. In an exceptional act of perception bordering on clairvoyance Sen. Harkin has finally noticed the perfectly f*cking obvious.   I wonder what his clue was?

9/11 in my America

On 9/11 I went to the corner store around 3:00 PM to get a pack of smokes. The store is a rather dingy little deal, with everything under the sun for sale. They have everything you need, from male enhancement to fried chicken , and it is filled with a Victorian display of goods.  The counter is cluttered with energy drinks and pills and an assortment of water pipes and rolling papers.      There was an old woman at the counter when I entered, paying for her goods. She moved almost in slow motion as she pulled the bills from her dilapidated wallet. She was very thin and her clothes hung from her, highlighting her bony joints. She was wearing a worn and faded dark blue sweater in the 90 degree heat and her long hair, dyed brown by cigarette smoke ,fell over it, fanning out in feathered strands.    The proprietor, a young Indian or Paki man, was offering to carry out her groceries for her as he packed them. She repeatedly turned his offer down as she slowly peeled bills out of her wallet. When the transaction was done he started to hand the bags to her, hanging them from her hands and arms. She grasped the bags in her bone thin hands with a slight shake that made them slightly swing.   The last bag had a gallon of milk and orange juice in it and as he lifted it he felt the weight of it. He warned her that it was very heavy and as he did he told her that he would come around and carry it to her car for her. I was about to take the bags  when a weathered and rather gruff looking working guy, in line ahead of me , moved in.  He stepped forward suddenly and  reached out taking the heavy bag from his hands. “Hey, I’ll get them” he said, as he reached past her . He peeled the lighter bags from her hands and guided her towards the door, groceries in both hands.              As he went out the door, the young gentleman at the counter motioned me forward and I hesitated as he did. I didn’t want to line jump on the guy who had just  carried the old woman’s groceries out and looked around awkwardly.  He motioned at me again and I stepped up to the counter and told him what I needed.  As I was paying the rough looking guy  re-entered the store, bringing the heat back in with him through the swinging door.    The proprietor thanked him for helping her and told him that she was very old and ill. He told him that they had to pump her gas when she came and he feared that her condition was worsening. He thought, he said, that she did not have much time left and they tried to take care of her. The man who had carried her things out assured him that it was no problem as I picked up my smokes and walked out.      That is  9/11 in my America; the America that I want to live in.  It really sucks that it only exists in my small town corner store and not across our nation. I write this with a great deal of sadness and it has taken me two days to put this to paper.  Instead of helping the old lady at the corner store, I have to view my fellow Americans as enemies. I arm myself for war as politics, agenda and policy turn us against each other, brother on brother.  We are no longer American, we are left and right, pro and con, for or against.  We have become so divided that 9/12, the day after 9/11, will never exist again; that day when we were all Americans united.      The 9/11 that existed in that store , unfortunately, only exists in that store and maybe a few more here and there. It is a sad day for America when we must become enemies instead of helping each other, but that is where we are today.      Lock and load.

Obama executive order to destroy 103 year old civilian marksmanship program

http://dailycaller.com/2013/08/29/obamas-new-executive-order-will-kill-the-110-year-old-civilian-marksmanship-program/

He just won’t stop. We have gone from a government that armed and trained it’s citizens to one that wants to ban firearms. Wait until he goes for the gold; all hell is going to break loose. If he wants to visit war death and destruction on this country he can do it with one simple executive order. Deep down inside I really just want to get this started and part of me hopes he does.  Good morning all… Happy thoughts… happy thoughts…

Al Quaeda executing alawite truck drivers:GRAPHIC

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kIuMEcY5B8#t=558

They walk to the road side and kneel down before being shot some how thinking that obeying their captors will save them. Don’t take the walk. Don’t kneel down. Fight until they kill you because you are dead already. Make them pay for what they get and make their job a dangerous one. Do not go silently into the night with your hands raised at gun point. Get a little hamburger before they get their steak. Be a man, live like one and die like one

Egyptian MRAP going off a bridge

Don’t think that MRAPs are invulnerable because of their size and weight. If they are isolated and left without protection they can fall prey to anything, even something as simple as pure man power. Once one of them has been stopped whether road blocked or disabled they are a death trap to those within IF they aren’t protected from without. Common practice is for outside troops to use them as cover and concealment, unless they can be flanked, which it appears happened here. If the elements of the police state can be isolated, they can be quickly broken down. It is essential not to let them use their training and strength in numbers, much as the IRA did. Deny them of the most essential element they need, which is to meet them in a fixed battle and their strengths become weaknesses.

Google: Gmail Users ‘Have No Legitimate Expectation of Privacy’

Sheeple: People unable to think for themselves

As tensions worsen among privacy-focused email users amid the escalating scandal surrounding government surveillance, a brief filed by attorneys for Google has surfaced showing that Gmail users should never expect their communications to be kept secret.

Consumer Watchdog has unearthed a July 13, 2013 motion filed by Google’s attorneys with regards to ongoing litigation challenging how the Silicon Valley giant operates its highly popular free email service.

The motion, penned in hopes of having the United States District Court for the Northern District of California dismiss a class action complaint against the company, says Gmail users should assume that any electronic correspondence that’s passed through Google’s servers can be accessed and used for an array of options, such as selling ads to customers.

“Just as a sender of a letter to a business colleague cannot be surprised that the recipient’s assistant opens the letter, people who use Web-based email…

400 missiles stolen in Benghazi

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2013/08/12/Attorney-For-Benghazi-Whistleblower-400-U-S-Missiles-Stolen-In-Benghazi-Annex-Involved

The truth about Benghazi slowly drips out as the whistle blowers begin to speak up. Hopefully the rivulets of info will turn into a river as they come forward.    It is becoming apparent the the original theories about arms dealing out of the consulate were true. Now, 400 missiles, we find out, have fallen into the hands of some “Very ugly people”.  I would assume that means Al qaeda and they have most likely been filtering not only into Syria but also Afghanistan.    In the end I think that this is going to morph into something that the media will no longer be able to ignore . Maybe when some of our troops get killed with our own armaments they will pay attention to this “Manufactured scandal” or maybe when an airliner gets taken down.

Chris Christie: Serious as a heart attack, goes after libertarians

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2013/07/25/christie-goes-after-libertarians-hard/

“As a former prosecutor who was appointed by President George W. Bush on Sept. 10, 2001, I just want us to be really cautious, because this strain of libertarianism that’s going through both parties right now and making big headlines, I think, is a very dangerous thought,”

Who ever would have suspected that a Bush appointee and republican establishment darling would be against the libertarians in congress?    The problem with the establishment republicans is that they don’t give two shits about the constitution.  They are content in their position as co-rulers and will do whatever they have to, to preserve the status quo.  They allow the media to pick their candidate and then line up behind him.      Think you can vote your way out of this? Think again.

Waiting for my morning drone strike

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jul/23/records-of-christine-odonnell-tax-snooping-disappe/

There is no longer any rule of law when the government can turn it’s power arbitrarily against it’s citizens. 1984 was supposed to be a cautionary tale and instead it seems that it has become a guide book. We have devolved so far past freedom that we can no longer even pretend that we live in the land of liberty.     It is no longer a matter of if , I believe, but when. When the final noose of tyranny begins to tighten on the throats of the remaining freedom loving individuals then, when they have nothing left to lose, the battle will be enjoined. Many think that it is impossible to fight tyranny on the scale of what we have , but I believe that history shows otherwise.      I had an interesting conversation yesterday with a former member of the IRA. We were standing in the parking lot of my shop when a cop drove past. “You see that?” he said in his thick Irish brogue “We never would have let that shit happen” I looked around and then queried “Let what happen?”  “Let that fucker just drive down the street like that.We would have been throwing rocks or bottles at him. We always made those fuckers pay for what they did, everyday. None of that shit was for free.   They used to set up outside of houses that were full of people that they wanted and hide out and wait. They had no intention of capturing or arresting anyone, they would bust in the door and kill everyone inside and then blame it on the UDF, but we knew who was doing it. So when we saw them no matter what we went after them”    That conversation brought me back to something that Tony Blair admitted when he was brokering the peace deal with the IRA. Blair said that they were making peace because the IRA could never be defeated militarily.  That statement was a stunning admission by one of the great military powers of the west.  A group who numbered in the thousands could fight their sophisticated army to a stand still.    There were two things that made this possible : One was the temerity of the IRA; They continued the fight for almost a century. The other was the wide spread support of the populace. Even though they only numbered in the thousands they were aided and abetted by many, many more.   No one would give up information, cars were supplied as needed, money, if available was provided and safe houses and properties were  made available.    Because of this support the IRA was able to operate all across the country. Some areas in the countryside were so hostile that the police would not even enter them because they knew an ambush would be waiting for them behind the closest hill.   The point of this whole thing is that as long as people are willing to fight tyranny then it cannot settle in comfortably. As long as people are willing to resist it , it’s foothold is always tenuous and risks everyday being thrown off. As long as people are not willing to submit to the yoke of subjugation then freedom still persists, even if in a state of war. Resistance is a state of mind as well as being as is freedom.  We all see the police state coming and in the end we all know what it means for all of us. Just remember that freedom isn’t free, nor for that fact is tyranny.   ”  We always made those fuckers pay for what they did, everyday. None of that shit was for free. “

NSA says that it can’t do a search of it’s own Emails

http://www.propublica.org/article/nsa-says-it-cant-search-own-emails

Pro publica put in a Freedom of information request regarding emails between NSA and National geographic after NG did a fluff piece on the NSA. According to the NSA they can’t do a basic bulk search of their employees emails as most corporations can.       They are either idiots or liars and I would lean toward liars seeing the unending corruption coming out of this government. If they aren’t liars then apparently our national security is being run by the keystone cops.

“America has no functioning democracy,” Jimmy Carter

http://dailycaller.com/2013/07/17/jimmy-carter-america-no-longer-has-a-functioning-democracy/

How bad does it have to be for Jimmy Carter to speak out against it?   The police state is in place and fully functioning ; All that is needed now is the trigger to set it in motion. If you still think that this is not being set up for us, then you don’t pay attention to history.   Be prepared to resist.

Der Spiegel joins the “Black helicopter” crowd

Der Spiegel, the German magazine that alleged that America’s National Security Agency has bugged the EU’s offices, thundered that “the NSA’s totalitarian ambition … affects us all … A constitutional state cannot allow it. None of us can allow it.”

It has become obvious for any to see where all this is headed; So obvious in fact that even foreigners see it for what it is. Only those blind political worshipers or those who cannot see past dancing with the stars are oblivious.   I will not be celebrating the 4th of July. I find our independence day now to be a somber event.   Just remember what was said in the Der Spiegel article; None of us can allow it.
