2012 Elections Rigged! Wake up!

Marine VFP member, injured in Oakland. He fought for his country, only to get attacked and injured by his own people (supposedly, his own people)…

“THERE IS NO HONOR IN THIS” ~ Sgt. Shamar Thomas USMC

Increasingly, more and more of our Soldiers understand who they are fighting for. It’s not for their country, it’s for the 1%. Then they come back home and are put on Homeland Security’s List of possible domestic terrorists. Everyone who is against the 1% is a domestic terrorist according to the keepers of the police state that is now our country.

When are we taking back our country?

A Marine veteran at Occupy Oakland was injured Monday night after being shot at point-blank range with bean bags or rubber bullets by police.

“His name is Scott Olsen. He’s a 24 year old former marine, served 2 tours in Iraq and came home safe. Then, in Oakland, he was struck in the head by something that the Police likely fired at him, fracturing his skull. When people tried to help him, they were shot with rubber bullets and flash bang grenades.

A friend of a friend of a friend is with him at the hospital, and has been since he arrived last night.” ~Stephanie Frame Herzog

The doctor treating Olsen said: “I’m just absolutely devastated that someone who did two tours of Iraq and came home safely is now lying in a US hospital because of the domestic police force.”

Dear Brother Oath keepers:

My name is Sgt. Charles A. Dyer. Some of you night know me under the call sign of July 4 Patriot. I am an 8 year veteran of the United States Marine Corps and the Iraq war. I am an infantryman with dual honorable discharges and no criminal record. I have taken the oath to support and defend the constitution of the United States on several occasions. But it wasn’t until after 7 years of service that I actually understood what than meant. On April 19, 2009 on Lexington Green, MA., I took the oath for the first time, knowing full well the weight of taking the oath. I swore on the very battleground that the war for our independence started on that I would give my life if need be to insure that my posterity could enjoy the freedom that God granted them and the founders of this great nation attempted to secure. I stood with hundreds of my brothers and sisters as we gave birth to a fledgling organization known as Oathkeepers.

Since that day, I have had the pleasure of watching it grow. I have watched through good times and bad. Even as it has been labeled as a right-wing extremist, seditious, militia organization. Many people are bothered by these allegations but I find a simple pride in it. Not because there is any truth to these outrageous claims but because Oathkeepers is seen as enough of a threat to tyranny to spend resources to counter it. Enough so that these lies have been spread on mainstream media by the SPLC and other groups attempting to defame Oathkeepers’ true intent and mission. Those who can truly call themselves an Oathkeeper, know what that intent and mission is. Those who cannot, may never know and will likely continue to attack what you stand for. You must never give up and you must continue to push forward as brothers in arms in the name of insuring tyranny never overpowers us on our own soil.

The reason for me to write this letter to Oathkeepers is 3-fold. I wish to tell a little about what has happened to me since I began standing up for the Constitution, to ask my brothers in arms for assistance, and to inform you all that there things happening behind closed doors that endangers the very fabric of our society and Constitution. I have been fighting my own battles against tyranny for nearly two years now. My will to fight is as strong as ever, but my ability to continue is waning as I am now approximately $70,000 in debt.

I would have to write a book to explain everything that has transpired, so I will only include the bare minimum that I can to keep the context of events. In February of 2009, I started making videos on the internet, speaking out against the corruption of our government. I was still on active duty, so I was forced to cover my face and conceal my identity. As I moved closer to the end of my contract, I became more and more outspoken. Most of my speeches and videos can be found at http://www.Youtube.com/july4patriot. By the summer of 2009 I had traveled to several states to speak about OK and our duties to defend the Constitution. I spoke regularly on a few radio shows and was also part of the documentary done by VBS.TV. By November, 2009 I had caught the attention of someone that apparently saw me as a threat. Because of my current legal litigation, I am forced to be fairly vague from here. I became the target of a sting operation to trick me into unknowingly accept an illegal item in 2009. Two months later in January 2010, rape allegations were made against me by my estranged wife and I was arrested. This allowed police to enter my home to search for DNA evidence. The allegations were bogus, so no incriminating DNA evidence was found. However, they did “discover” a 40 mm grenade launcher in my home. This is when I learned how close to our door that the wolf of tyranny really is.

By the end of that day, agents Gene Poole of the FBI had pulled me in and out of an interrogation room several times, had lied to me about the amount of time I was facing in prison, had threatened to arrest my girlfriend on false charges if I refused to cooperate, and had made it very clear why I had actually been arrested when he laughed at me when he left the room and said, “I guess July4Patriot won’t be making any speeches anytime soon.” The FBI also seized a speech that I was working on and the mask I wore in my early videos. Neither had any bearing on the charges and both were seized without warrants. My girlfriend was detained for 8 hours that day and refused access to her daughter until Child Protective Services (CPS/DHS) decided that it was okay. The next day my girlfriend was detained and threatened that she could lose her daughter if she didn’t give permission to the FBI to come into the home and take the grenade launcher without a warrant. Of course she complied out of fear. The day after that, the FBI entered my home without a warrant or permission and removed every firearm that I owned. Agent Poole then proceeded to threaten my 67-year-old mother that they would “make enough charges” to put her son away for 40 years if she failed to cooperate. Agent Poole came again and pulled me into the interrogation room. He told me that he spoke to his “Higher Up” and that he could make “all of this go away” if I would “reintegrate into the militia and complete a list of objectives over a 1 or 2 year period”. I refused and he decided to make me pay for it.

This brings us to the Federal trial. Agent Gene Poole falsified statements on a Grand Jury indictment, resulting in charges being filed. I was denied bail when the US Attorney, Andre Caldwell, lied to a judge about a non-existent militia underground and agent Bret Williams of the ATF lied to the judge about me possessing an illegal silencer that he had already inspected and confirmed was a toy. I spent 3 months in a Federal detention facility and was charged with failing to register a destructive device. The US attorney waited until the trial was near and then gave me a plea bargain, known in reality as a threat. I was told that if I say I was guilty, I would be home in 6 months. If I refused, I would a spend a minimum of 7 years in prison. I very disrespectfully rejected the plea and invoked my right to a speedy trial. The US Attorney informed me that the Federal government wins over 98% of their cases and I stood no chance of winning against them. He obviously didn’t feel very confident, because an inmate by the name of Eric McCustin was offered time off from his sentence if he would testify that I had confessed to him. Caldwell presented this to me, just days before the trial. All of the lies and deceit fell through and agent Pool got caught lying on the stand. I was found not guilty.

After the Federal trial I was charged with child sex abuse by the State of Oklahoma. During the preliminary hearing, the state also decided to recharge me with the 40 mm that I had been found not guilty of. I was released on a $150,000 bond and reunited with my family. Within 20 hours, Abigail Wilson of DHS was on my doorstep telling me that I wasn’t allowed to be alone with children. Several times over the next five months, DHS and deputies forced their way into my home and attempted to catch me violating their orders. There was no sign of abuse with my girlfriend’s daughter and I was complying with DHS. This was a problem for the DA as he needed to get my girlfriend, my lead witness, out of the state. He had DHS demand that I take a 2 year sex predator class. In order to pass the class, an admission of guilt must be made to the therapist. Since I refused to admit to something I didn’t do, the DA filed to have a court hearing to remove her child on the grounds that I refused the “voluntary” services. We spent months studying the law and showed up to the hearing with several instances of case law showing they couldn’t remove her child as well as audio taped evidence that DHS falsified documents. Judge Russell of the Stephens County courthouse denied the hearing, saying that if he had to hear our evidence, he would automatically have her daughter removed. He demanded that she sign a “voluntary” agreement to never allow her daughter to see me again. We protested the denial of due process and the judge cussed me. We had no choice but to agree unless she wanted to lose her daughter that day. We sent her daughter 900 miles to TN so they couldn’t say she was in danger, we refused to sign paperwork, and demanded due process. The judge then signed an order to steal her daughter, the sheriff’s department threatened me that they would “turn this into Ruby Ridge” and kill me if they had to. DHS kidnapped her daughter, brought her back to Oklahoma, and held her for 28 days, refusing to allow her mother to see her until she signed an agreement to leave the state and never return with her daughter. She was escorted to the state line. Abigail Wilson then proceeded to tell me that I could never have a family again for the rest of my life, even after I am found not guilty. She stated that DHS/CPS would follow me to any state I ever moved to and insure I am reported as a child predator to state agencies. She informed me that DHS/CPS operates outside of the scope of the Constitution and they have the right to circumvent a jury verdict, the law, and the Constitution is they suspect a child “may” come to harm in the “future”. The pretty much would allow them to take a child from any home they choose.

The next step on the road to tyranny against me, other than the state openly lying in court and covering up evidence that helps prove my innocence, was when Jason Hicks (D.A.) attempted to revoke my bond on 2 reasons. The first was because I made “derogatory” statements about the FBI, judges, DHS, law enforcement, much like the statements in this letter. The second reason was a complete lie contrived by Jason Hicks. Paraphrasing it “Mr. Dyer and two unidentified individuals cased the courthouse. When approached by law enforcement, Mr. Dyer stated that he was looking for his lost dog”. The motion then stated that I am a threat to the community because of my actions. The police officer took the stand and was questioned by the judge. He testified that yes he had seen me, I was completely alone, no officer ever approached me, and I was simply walking on the sidewalk. My attorney then informed the judge that I had an appointment to see my attorney across the street from the courthouse that day. If you think we live in a country that is not losing freedom, THINK AGAIN!! Thankfully the judge had mercy on this poor peasant of the state because he didn’t arrest me for walking on a public sidewalk, he only trampled my first 1st amendment by telling me I would go to jail if I made more videos. I would be jailed for telling what they were doing to me, basically.

After completing my next trial, the jury was unable to come up with a verdict and a mistrial was declared. There were 2 undercover male and 2 female FBI agents in my court proceedings and agent Ken Western stood outside of the courthouse telling people that I was guilty. He was lying to them about the DNA evidence. We have 2 affidavits proving this as well as audio proof that Western knew there was no such evidence. 3 days before my next trial, someone burned my house down while I was away. Before I even knew my house had burned, the FBI were investigating it. Once again they had no jurisdiction or interest in a state problem, but once again, here they were. I had a court hearing where I pleaded for a 1 week continuance because I had lost everything I owned except the clothes on my back. I didn’t even have a suit for trial now. I was denied and ordered to start trial at the beginning of the next business day.

At this point my 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 8th, amendments had been trampled stripped completely, the FBI were violating jurisdiction and falsifying paperwork to arrest me, someone had tried to burn my house down and possibly kill me, I was a suspect in the arson, I had no possessions left on the face of the planet, the state refuses to ensure I have a fair/unbiased trial, and the court refuses a simple week continuance so I can at least get a new suit. Needless to say, I was pushed to the edge and afraid for my life. I skipped town and missed my trial date. Normally a warrant would be issued and they wait for you to turn up somewhere. This is another instance that should raise questions because a Federal warrant was issued and a nationwide manhunt involving 10 law enforcement divisions, including the FBI, began.

Within a week, SWAT teams were busting in doors as far east as Florida and running operations in Texas. One of the FBI SWAT teams caught up with me in Texas and surrounded me in a parking lot. They came at me with rifles drawn and I know they would have no problem with killing me and making it look like I provoked them so I ran and evaded them for 5 days until the guy that burned my house down was arrested and I was able to find local law enforcement to surrender to.

So now here I sit waiting for a show-trial, where the prosecution is allowed to hide evidence, lie, and mislead a jury while I have my hands tied and I am not even allowed to introduce evidence to clear my name without it being twisted or denied all together. The most tragic part of my story is that I’m not alone. I wish I were. This is happening to American citizens on a daily basis. If you think you can’t be stomped out for speaking the truth, please look into my situation to see that you are sadly mistaken.

It’s crucial that the American people wake up and realize that tyranny rears its head in many forms. My life has been completely destroyed by the tyranny of injustice from our legal system, and rogue government officials. My God given rights have been stripped by a government that uses the color of law to do anything they wish. This letter doesn’t even present half of what they have done to my family and I. It would take a book to bring it all to light. Charles deMontesquieu said “There is no crueler tyranny than that which is perpetuated under the shield of law and in the name of justice”. From my personal perspective I tend to agree.

I am writing this from behind bars, facing a sentence of 25-life, knowing I may never see the light of day or my family again. Coupled with the fact that law enforcement here has already been heard making statements about how they would release my case info to other inmates to see how long I can last, I am fighting for my very life. I ask you today to stand with me and my fight. I need your help. Any help that you can render. Whether you might be able to send a dollar to my defense fund, a prayer to God above, or help make others aware of what happens behind the smoke and mirrors of our justice system, I ask you to do something, anything. Find someone else out there that needs help if you decide not to help me, but please do not stand idly by as our government continues to bring its iron fist down on innocent people of our country to further dishonorable agendas. For those of you that don’t turn a blind eye, I count you as my brother. You have my love and respect. Please never give up and never surrender.

It’s a sad day today, It’s his birthday. Godspeed!

The number of shootings in the schools and streets of America has done little to dampen the enthusiasm of thousands to assert their Second Amendment rights. The movement to bear arms publicly at all times is significant and growing.

Some even see their semi-automatics as a last line of defense against the government.

Craig Rutherford, member of the Virginia Citizens Defense League, spent years carrying a gun in the Balkans and in Iraq as a defense contractor. So when he came home to Virginia, he did not see a reason to put it down.

“Being a former deputy sheriff, I felt it was necessary to obtain a concealed handgun permit to protect myself,” he says.

But Craig does not want to just conceal his gun. He wants to carry it out in the open.

“To me it’s the constitutional way to carry a firearm and I think if you don’t exercise your rights you will lose them,” explains Craig.

His wife Jadranka will not leave the house without her .357 Magnum tucked into a special handbag for “packing heat”.

“In Croatia I was not thinking about taking [a]pistol with me, even during the war,” says Jadranka Rutherford.

She believes the lifestyle in the US is quite different from that of her homeland.

“When I came here, I said, ‘Oh, it is like the Wild West, like I was watching on TV.’ And now I’m walking with a gun on my hip,” she says.

There are 258 million guns in the hands of American civilians and Rutherford estimates he has spent more than $25,000 on his collection.

“It’s never complete, I mean, how many pairs of shoes do you have? I see guns that I would like to get everyday,” claims Craig.

And each one brings back memories.

“There’s one that’s very dear to my heart and it’s right back here. This was my grandfather’s shotgun and we used to go hunting together when I was a little boy.”

Rutherford carries his gun everywhere he legally can and encourages his daughters and nephew to do the same.

And he is not alone.

The Virginia Citizens Defense League counts 2,500 members. They organize public events like one in which they openly carry loaded weapons at parks, restaurants and other public spaces.

They have opposed every piece of gun control legislation, and their critics say they make the National Rifle Association, America’s foremost defender of Second Amendment rights, look moderate.

Schools should also be on the list, believe Virginian gun owners.

“Virginia Tech [The Virginia Tech massacre, April 16, 2007; 32 people killed], Columbine [The Columbine High School massacre, April 20, 1999; 12 people killed], those are serious things. If they don’t allow guns it’s always the criminal that gets the gun, as you can’t have a gun in a gun-free zone. Guns need to be allowed on campuses,” says Joseph Ramsey, gun owner.

The Virginia Citizens Defense league is part of the greater Open Carry movement, a well-organized network of gun owners in 43 states.

“It builds camaraderie between everyone and it makes it easier to spread the message of open carry,” believes Justin Boyd, gun owner.

For some in the Open Carry movement, it is about more than security. It is about forming a militia, defending themselves from government tyranny and even organizing an insurgency.
­It only takes 3 per cent…

­Travis Fox never leaves home without a loaded gun carried openly on his belt.

“If it is between someone else and my family, someone else is going to die,” says Fox. “I believe that you should be able to carry a firearm in any manner you choose on an airplane.”

For Fox, militia is a state of mind and gun control is carte-blanche for a government that is meant to be kept in check.

“Then the government has absolutely no fear of repercussions and they can essentially do whatever they want,” says Fox. “The definition of tyranny is that which is lawful for government, but unlawful for citizens. They have jet fighter planes, they have machine guns, they have howitzers, they have tanks, and they have nuclear aircraft carriers. The militia today, we are left with semi-automatic handguns, and semi-automatic rifles.”

Fox is a member of the “Three Percenters” – a militia with its own flag, plenty of guns and a manifesto that proclaims it only takes three per cent of gun owners to overthrow the government.

They gathered last year on the banks of the Potomac River with a warning to those in power: “Attempt to further oppress us at your peril.”

“People innocent and guilty alike were going to start dying for their own stupid failure to comprehend the real situation which we are all in,” says Mike Vanderboegh, the founder of Three Percenters.

And send a message that they will not back down.

“Americans are beginning to feel increasingly less like free citizens and more like subjects,” believes David Codrea, co-founder, Gun Truths And Citizens Of America.

More and more of America’s 84 million gun owners say they are tired of compromising on their right to bear arms.

The Three Percenters refuse to acknowledge any new gun control laws.

“We all have a line in the sand and at some point we would all resist,” says David Codrea, the co-founder of Gun Truths and Citizens of America

NRA President Wayne LaPierre recently moved closer to the Three Percenters when he refused President Obama’s invitation even to discuss new gun laws. He asked, “Why should I, or the NRA, go sit down with a group of people that have spent a lifetime trying to destroy the Second Amendment in the United States?”

It was President Clinton who last angered gun owners with the 1994 assault weapons ban which, by his own estimates, cost 20 members of his party their seats in Congress. With the 2012 presidential election looming, tackling gun control might also prove a misfire for Obama.

LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC

Did you know Thomas Jefferson once shot a man on the white house lawn for Treason?

Yes. It is true. During Jefferson’s presidential administration, Rodney Cox, from North Carolina was discovered in the act of providing former Tories with information regarding the American naval forces capability to secure American shores. After a brief ad hoc trial, Cox was convicted and sentenced to death by firing squad. Jefferson, being a notorious Anglophobic at the time, served as the sole member of the firing squad. With a single bullet dispatched from a flint lock rifle, Cox received a fatal wound. It took 10 hours for Cox to expire, during which he lay prostrate on the White House lawn. Afterwards, he was committed to the sea in a right proper burial, albeit, without any fanfare.

Government Agencies Attack an Honorable Marine and His Family
by Amelia Foxwell

Imagine you are a United States Marine. You can trace your families’ proud military service back to the civil war. You have answered your call of duty in a nasty world of unrelenting sand, sleeplessness and the constant threat of I.E.D.s, small arms fire and suicide bombings. After eight years of service you return home as an Iraq war veteran with a flawless military service record. You have a loving family and are still devoted to protecting your country. The only problem is you have an estranged wife who makes repeated wild and disturbing accusations. You have a daughter you love and try to maintain a relationship with, but she is used as a weapon by a bitter woman with a troubled past.

Imagine having your house searched and personal effects, like your deceased grandfather’s flight helmet he gave you when you were six years old, confiscated because it was deemed “dangerous military equipment.” The only previous trouble you have ever had is a single speeding ticket and you suddenly face charges that dictate a life sentence. Charges based on an accusation, not evidence. Your family is ripped apart by the Department of Human Services in Oklahoma and, to add insult to injury, terrorized by the local law enforcement and Federal officers. Your mother is even forced to listen to officers of the law plan your death! You are placed in a position of mortal fear and defense, causing your parents to mortgage the family farm and cash in all their savings.

Welcome to the world of Sergeant Charles Dyer.

The violations of this Marine’s civil rights are numerous and enraging. Sergeant Dyer continues to suffer, as do those that know and love him. He has a long term girlfriend whose child was kidnapped by the Department of Human Services in Oklahoma . She was taken six months after the charges were placed for the simple reason of intimidation because Sgt. Dyer refused to admit to the state’s allegations. DHS even said that if he would just admit he was guilty they wouldn’t get the District Attorney involved to issue an emergency protective order. The innocent child was held in the terrifying world of foster care for 30 days. The Department of Human Services did all of this after stating that an interview had determined that the child was in “no imminent danger”. After being denied a just hearing, the child’s mother was forced to agree to leave the state in order to regain custody of her child. Despite the total lack of valid evidence against the accused, sergeant Dyer has been told by Department of Human Services in Oklahoma that even after he is declared innocent at his upcoming trial, he is never allowed to be around children again because he will have a “history”. Read that again, even after he is acquitted, he will still be punished!

Excuse Me? Guilty after proven innocent?

Sergeant Dyer’s true crime was making a few public speeches about liberty, and truth, and the corruption of our government. These patriotic speeches have been used against him in every step of this ordeal. This man is the most pure form of a patriot. His words and his actions have been dedicated to our country and our people. Doesn’t this mean he deserves to at least have the basic rights we are all endowed with and that are protected by our Constitution? The government agencies of Oklahoma and the United States have treated him more poorly and with less respect than we treat terrorists and serial killers. He has been pursued into a courthouse hallway and screamed at by the very judge that is hearing his case! Even his military medals and awards were attacked by the prosecutor at a previous hearing. This decorated Marine has had repeated, specific and deliberate violations of his 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th amendment rights. Blatant violations! Is this really what we can now expect from our justice system?

Sergeant Dyer is currently seeking legal counsel to address these violations so that they will not be endured by others. To date, however, he has not been able to find a lawyer with enough conviction and integrity in Oklahoma to take his civil case against those that have trampled his rights. The evidence is clearly in his favor and could possibly earn a king’s ransom in a civil trial. The attorneys he has spoken to have not refused his case because they don’t think he has been injured. They have refused because they are afraid to “take on the government.” How strong has tyranny grown when it can stop a lawyer from pursuing big money?

This moment is where we each have to ask ourselves, where do we draw the line? When do we stop allowing government agencies that hold themselves above the law and the police state to steal our liberty and our dignity from us? When do we, as Americans, say There will no more abuse of power and there will be no more violations of our rights?

Review the facts of Sergeant Dyer’s case, not the media’s dramatic depiction. Search through all information you come across. Compare the accusations against him with the true and undeniable evidence available. Printed words have no true meaning without facts to back them up, so be wary of assuming anything. After you become frustrated at the lack of hard evidence against this man, ask yourself about the phrase innocent until proven guilty. Then ponder how one can legally be punished even after innocence has been established!

There is not enough room in an article such as this to fully show the extent of the criminal behavior of authorities involved in this matter. Sergeant Dyer knows that he has been pursued by a fearful justice system because of his patriotic statements. When one looks at the evidence (or lack thereof) in his case, it is obvious that, had he been a quiet follower and sheep to the system, he would have already been exonerated. Today you have read Sergeant Dyer’s story of persecution. Unless we all draw a hard line in the sand, tomorrow someone may read yours.

“Texans should force Washington to change policy”

With some fresh calls for Texas’s secession from the United States, some analysts say Washington should be forced to follow a different policy toward the state.

“Texas was its own nation in 1836 to 1845 so it has had an experience of being broken and different from the United States,” said Wayne Slater, Senior Political Writer at the Dallas Morning News.

The Texas Nationalist Movement marked Texas Independence Day with a rally on Saturday at the Capitol, urging Texans to save the state by seceding from the United States.

This whole idea of breaking away now, creating its own nation, because it’s so upset with the federal government spending, federal government policies, is really the attention of a small group of people who call themselves patriots” says Slater.

Slater also says legally speaking, secessionist movement is out of question but says it is a symptom of public dissatisfaction with the federal government policies.

“The patriot movement is the reflection of the attitude of the conservative state like Texas that the federal government has gone too far, spent too much money and is making policies that some people don’t agree with”.

Slide Fire Solutions’ ground breaking “Slide Stock” technology and ergonomic design provide individuals the ability to Slide Fire more safely – offering another element of entertainment for recreational shooters everywhere!

Applying principles that have been used for over 40 years to Bump Fire – this new radical design ensures the operator can hold the rifle correctly without compromising their own safety or the safety of others around them. Unlike when bump firing from the hip; the SSAR-15 allows the shooter to properly hold the firearm. In addition, as a result of the shooter having to push forward to discharge each round, they are able to correct their point-of-aim for each shot discharged instead of allowing recoil to push the muzzle upward in an unsafe direction.

In principal the SSAR-15 functions very similar to the Gatlin or crank style firearms. When operating a firearm that uses a crank – the operator’s arm moves in continous motion. The operator moves the crank clockwise and a round is fired. The operator continues to move the crank forward to discharge another round, and so on…. With the SSAR-15; the operator moves the upper assembly forward to discharge a round. To discharge the next round the operator must again move the upper assembly forward. Just like when using the Gatlin systems; a semi-auto firearm equipped with the SSAR-15 will never fire automatically.

Secondary to design, the SSAR-15 has opened other avenues for physically challenged sportsmen to operate their firearms without the need for bulky prohibitive equipment. Individuals that suffer from severe arthritis, partial paralysis, or other conditions that affect their ability to traditionally operate a firearm can now utilize the SSAR-15 and the muscular strength in their entire arm to active the firing mechanism.

“Patriot” organizations have more than tripled in number across New England since 2008— Members insist they are country-loving, God-fearing citizens with a keen sense of the dangers facing the United States.

“I believe in America,” said Celia Hyde of Stow, who serves on the national board of directors of Oath Keepers — an association of cops and military veterans who are here to defend our constitution!

“Without (America), we don’t have anything. Our message is, start waking up because what you enjoy today you may not have to enjoy tomorrow,” Hyde said.

“I’m not preaching hate to anyone. I don’t know of any group that’s trying to overthrow our government,” Selfridge said. “I love America. We’re strong Second Amendment people. We believe the government has overstepped its bounds. We believe we need to return our government to its founding principles.”

Hyde, the Oath Keepers board member, is a former Bolton police chief and now an innkeeper in Stow.

“We’re the good guys,” Hyde said. “People are finally — thank goodness — waking up to what’s going on around them and learning they have a voice.

Yesterday, Governor Matt Mead signed a bill acknowledging that law-abiding citizens can carry a concealed gun without a permit.

“The law allows state citizens legally entitled to own guns to carry them concealed starting in July.”

Of course, the anti-rights lobby had to change their diapers afterwards. Brady Campaign president Paul Helmke said: “The gun lobby is trying to push more guns into more places.”

If ever there were an example of the justification for the Second Amendment, the current atrocities committed by the Libyan government is it. The Libyan people have no defense against a tyrannical government, which is slaughtering the people with gunfire. Their only defense is sticks and stones. Americans must never compromise our Second Amendment rights

“The Colfax Tea Party Patriots are a group of citizens wanting to take our country back to its founding principles of fiscal responsibility, limited government, and support for free markets,” said Jenny Duncan, communications coordinator.

Nor are they alone. Nationally, nearly 23 million individuals have joined the Tea Party Patriot movement.

The Colfax group has 30 active members and more than 100 on the mailing list.

“Word of mouth is the best way to raise rural awareness and attract participation in this movement,” said Duncan.

Formed in 2009, the Colfax group is part of the Norcal Tea Party Patriots, one of three regional organizations in California.

“The Norcal’s function is to provide an umbrella of support, training, motivation, and information to its members and other Tea Party Patriot groups in Northern California and beyond,” explained Ginny Rapini, Norcal Tea Party Patriots administrative director.

Rapini noted there are 6,000 individuals in the regional organization and six million in California.

“The Tea Party Patriots nationally are totally grass roots volunteer organizations,” Rapini said. “We are bottoms up, decentralized organizations with no offices. We are equally empowered groups with a multitude of leaders. We have a strong network working as a team. A team is much more effective and can do more.”

As they evolve, the Colfax Tea Party Patriots are developing their own vision and want to address the local and national challenges that impact the Colfax area.

Their immediate focus is education and getting people involved in anticipation of voting in the 2012 elections.

With a copy of the U.S. Constitution (including a bookmark stating the Tea Party Patriots’ mission) in hand Duncan explains why the group is studying the historic document.

“The U.S. Constitution is how people can limit government and support free markets,” she said.

The group’s ultimate goal is to help Colfax area voters become smart, informed voters.

“People locally are conservative, fiscally responsible people,” said Duncan. “We want to hold our politician’s feet to the fire to do the same.”

The group is meeting to study the U.S. Constitution from noon to 1 p.m. on the first Monday of the month at the Pizza Factory on Auburn Street in Colfax.

Duncan estimated the group would take six months to complete their study of the U.S. Constitution, then will tackle the state’s constitution.

Rapini believes there are misconceptions about the intent of the grassroots organization.

“The Tea Party Patriots are not a political party,” she said. “We’re not supported or financed by the Republicans or anyone else. The money comes out of our own pocket so we are not beholding to anyone or any group.”

Nor is the organization focused on social issues and has no plans to endorse political candidates.

And yet, there are some individuals who oppose the organization.

Rapini indicated she has received death threats. As a result, she had had to put gates at the entrance to her property and is now on the Placer County Sheriff’s auto call list.

“We are just ordinary people doing extraordinary things,” she explained. “No one is looking to be an icon. We’re American Patriots who care about our country and we want it back.”

Duncan agrees.

“This is a very serious endeavor — not a political party, but a movement,” she said. “We want the group to grow and expand.”

On an overcast March morning, someone traveling down Damascus Church Road in northern Gordon County might have thought they were stepping back in time.

Men and women in traditional Colonial garb gathered to pay their respects to a Revolutionary War veteran. The Georgia Society Sons of the American Revolution — Cherokee, Piedmont and Rome chapters — presented a grave marking and dedication service Saturday for Revolutionary War veteran Lt. William Coggin.

Members of the community present at Damascus Church Road Cemetery included a descendent, William Deacon Balliew. His grandmother’s mother, he said, was a Coggin.

Sons of the American Revolution members unveiled a small bronze marker that stands beside Coggins’ marble headstone. The ceremony also featured a flag presentation, a bagpipe rendition of “Amazing Grace” from John Mortison of the Piedmont chapter and a musket salute from the SAR.

Coggin was one of a host of Americans who set aside their personal agendas to fight for independence.

“They had a purpose and they would have died for that purpose, right on the spot,” Balliew said.

Coggin, born in 1755, was 20 when the war began, and he fought in several battles. He died in 1862 at age 79 after working to obtain a land grant that allowed him to settle in Gordon County and raise a family there.

Balliew said he grew up hearing about Coggin.

“My granny told me about this 70 years ago,” he said. Coggin’s brother and brother’s wife are buried near him in the cemetery, Balliew said.

Some SAR affiliates traveled several hours to reach the ceremony.

Leslie Watkins, a member of the William Day chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution, and her brother-in-law, Bruce Maney, a Button Gwinnett chapter SAR member, came from Duluth.

Wearing a Colonial-style dress with a cloak to ward off the damp air, Watkins explained that this is just one of many SAR events she attends each year.

As a liaison of the Daughters of the Revolution to the SAR, she helps present living history programs to fourth-graders.

“(We discuss) what everyday life was like here,” she said.

She characterized Gordon County during Revolutionary wartime as “the backwoods” or “frontier” of Georgia. Calhoun, she explained, was still in Cherokee lands at that time.

The ongoing discussion, statewide, concerning House Bill 288 — the bill that purports to “legalize” the militia movement — is a waste of time for the consideration of the Legislature.

Since 1993, the militia movement has been alive and well throughout the continental United States. The fact is that, despite all the hue and cry about certain states supporting clandestine military movements, there is not one facet of the movement that violates any existing statute or code anywhere in the codes of the state or nation! The right to formally — or informally — organize units of this nature has been protected by multiple decisions of the various courts throughout the land. So long as “mask assembly and confrontation” are avoided, we have the same rights as most fraternal organizations!

Our flag is the same flag most of us served under in past and present conflicts in which our nation became involved. We are citizens! We are Americans! We are the militia, and as long as the Constitution our fathers enshrined in word and law those long years ago is revered as the “law of the land,” we will be inactive. It’s that simple!

A Montana Republican has introduced a bill that would create a volunteer armed militia called a “home guard,” that would answer directly to the governor or local sheriffs during emergencies.

State Rep. Wendy Warburton (R) introduced House Bill 278, which she said was “just about local volunteers being prepared in case of emergency to support the National Guard, support the sheriff, support the governor as needed,” the Associated Press reports.

The governor would be required to “recruit, mobilize, administer, train, discipline, equip, and supply the organized militia,” which the AP estimates would cost the state $45,000 a year.

Nick Wing of the Huffington Post points out that the original bill referred to the groups as “militias,” but Warburton since changed the language to call them the more neutral “home guards.”

The bill describes how the forces would be divided into companies, and then platoons and squads. Each company would have a “company flag, company creed, company colors,” as well as a uniform with the company insignia.

Last month another Montana Republican introduced a bill to give local sheriffs supremacy in their counties, and requiring “that federal employees shall obtain the county sheriff’s permission to arrest, search, and seize.”

Egypt Cuts the Internet in the Face of Revolution,

The best thing to do is to go on a computer or mobile device to see what’s really going on. So far, the Washington Post’s website is carrying a live video stream from Al-Jazeera, and MSNBC is following the English version of the RNN Facebook page. (RNN is the Rassd News Network, a citizen-journalist website.) When the unrest started on the streets of Tehran in 2009, everyone followed on Twitter, until the Iranian government briefly interrupted online service. But the Egyptian government has completely shut down all Internet service, in an unprecedented move cutting all four major Internet providers there at exactly 12:34 a.m. last night. Take a look at this graphic from Newser.

The Egyptian government has not only cut off Facebook and Twitter for the protesters, it has cut off the nation’s ties to the rest of the world, which could stop their economy cold. Reports are that the Egyptian stock market still has access to the Internet, but who knows how long that will last as word gets out. Here’s a disturbing quote from Newser:

Could the Internet similarly be turned off in the United States? “It can’t happen here,” said the security expert. “How many people would you have to call to shut down the US Internet? Hundreds, thousands maybe?” Not that politicians aren’t trying—a controversial bill that would give the president an Internet “kill switch” in the event of a “national cyber-emergency” resurfaced earlier this week.

The BBC explains why the Egyptian government shut down the Internet last night:

Friday’s rallies in Egypt were expected to be the biggest so far, with people urged via internet sites to join after attending prayers. The organisers called on people to come out in force, stressing that the religion of protesters was not relevant. Egyptian film-maker Ahmed Rasheed, who was planning to take part in Friday’s demonstrations, said people no longer feared arrest. “We have broken this fear barrier,” he told the BBC. “People are taking to the streets, young people, all walks of life, educated, non-educated, higher social classes, lower social classes.”

When people of all ages and social classes and religions—which is quite a statement in the Middle East—have lost their fear of protesting and are willing to lose their lives for the cause, there is no stopping a revolution. Who knows where this will lead.

See some of US are NORMAL!!!

A lesson learned in History…Weed out the loose-cannons and losers of the movement!

The movement split into three factions in 1996, one led by McLaren, one by David Johnson and Jesse Enloe, and the third by Archie Lowe and Daniel Miller. In 1997, McLaren and his followers kidnapped Joe and Margaret Ann Rowe, held them hostage at the Fort Davis Resort, and demanded the release of two movement members in exchange for the Rowes. McLaren’s wife, Evelyn, convinced him to surrender peacefully after a week-long standoff with police and Texas Rangers. The McLarens and four other Republic of Texas members were sent to prison. This effectively destroyed the McLaren faction, and the Johnson-Enloe faction was discredited after two of its members, Jack Abbot Grebe Jr. and Johnie Wise, were convicted in 1998 of threatening to ******* several government officials, including President Bill Clinton.
