Al Awlaki, Your Neighbor the Liberal & the Right to Defend the Republic

I have argued for a very long time that when anyone takes active steps to undermine the intent of the Founders as embodied in our Founding Documents, that person crosses a line into Treason. 

If you want to change America into a Socialist country, you may not do it even at the ballot box. 

The fundamentals embodied in the DoI, the BoR and the Constitution articulate an unalterable set of standards by which every single American is entitled to live by Right of being an American.  You may not vote away 2A, 1A, 4A, or any other Right of any American.  New York may not ban firearms any more than California may ban Free Speech or Texas may impose a State Religion.

If you attempt to do so, you are attacking the very foundation of the republic.  You are acting to overthrow the republic.  You are behaving treasonously.  You open yourself to Article III Section III, and more importantly, you open yourself to sanction by every patriotic American, for it is We the People who are, in fact, the Government.  It is We the People who hold the ultimate Right to violence & defense.  It is We the People who are merely defending ourselves and our republic by stomping the snot out of any Enemy of Liberty in our midst.

I explore this in Our Fathers Weep: It's the Constitution, Stupid!

In III to Liberty I re-iterated the premise alongside several of our community's best bloggers, writers & thinkers.

The man who seeks to undermine and overthrow the republic by perverting the clear meaning and intent embodied in our Founding Documents, or by voting unconstitutional laws into effect, is as guilty of attacking the republic as is any foreign power or SEIU idiot who attacks and seeks the same result through force of arms.

Anwar al Awlaki: Why is it wrong to kill this man, as is being bellowed by so many in our community?  If he is acting to kill you or your family and striving for the demise of the republic - and he confesses it publicly, on video - and he has the means to do so, why on Earth would any American hesitate to pull the trigger?

Do you not claim the same Right to pull the trigger on anyone actively seeking to, or responsible for, trying to enslave or kill your family?  Would you not claim the Right to pull the trigger on a bad guy in your home who is pointing a weapon at your wife?  Is your wife any less dead if shot by the home invader than by Nidal Hasan on a military base?  Is not Hasan's handler just as guilty as Hasan?

Is not stealing the bread from the mouths of your children by tax, regulation, rule or law just as immoral as doing so by gunpoint?

There is no difference between Al Awlaki and every person in America who votes for the same end as he strived to attain: The death of the republic.

If we may not kill a man who is attempting to kill us, we have surrendered our Right to defend Life.

If we may not kill a man who is trying to overthrow our republic and enslave our children, whether by arms or the ballot box, we have surrendered our Right to Liberty.

I surrender nothing.

You?

$424,142

JudicialWatch had to sue the Government for the documents.

Nearly $500,000 for the First Lady to go to South Africa.

Daughters were listed as "Senior Staff".

Her mother, a niece, nephew, hair stylist and make-up artists were part of the entourage.

The costs of security, ground transportation, et cetera are not included...

The safari they enjoyed was surely necessary to the diplomatic health of the republic.

The problem is that we send people to Washington who would do such a thing.  I don't think if the average III Patriot were elected to office he'd send the family on vacation at the expense of the public.  Until we stop voting for selfish people, nothing will change.

Here's the JudicialWatch report.

Ready, Set, Go!

A sitting US Senator has called for a run on a US Bank.

Why?  Because the bank is failing?  That is not new information.

The Left has spent many years laying the ground for a deliberate Implosion.

The nation is a powder keg.

A sitting US Senator has just chosen to be a spark.

I hope you are all ready.  Collapse & Implosion is not a one-day event.  You will not find riots in the morning.  These things take time.  But make no mistake, it's on.

I think it is obvious that 2012 elections are not part of the D plan...

Here is the story.

Consider: OathKeepers

Consider Curtis' insight to the OathKeepers, here.

There are very few who truly want a Constitutional Republic and the ideal of Liberty as articulated by Jefferson.

Most have a personal agenda that is not necessarily what they present to the world.

OathKeepers is unquestionably one such group.  They have their agenda...don't assume it matches yours, whatever they put in their slick Membership brochure.

Remember, any active LEO must injure the Constitution every day he is on the job, even if he wears that OathKeepers tab on his weekend gun range fatigues.  The list of crimes for which he arrests people that are unconstitutional is very, very long.

Connect the dots...

President Obama:  “Believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting.  I promise you not just on immigration reform...

Governor Bev Perdue:  “I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won’t hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover. …You want people who don’t worry about the next election.”

And Burt Aaronson to a group of Dems at a Palm Beach fundraiser:

Click here to hear the audio. (Found at Codrea's site)

“You know, if a ballplayer threw a game and they get caught, they go to jail. Well, what are we going to do to the Republicans who are throwing the country?

“They’re throwing our country, and they all should be put in jail for what they’re doing, because they’re destroying our country, because they said at the beginning our one mission is to get rid of President Obama. That was their mission. They don’t care how much they destroy other people. They don’t care whether you go to work. They don’t care about anything.

“All they want to do is destroy the president. And in destroying the president of the United States, you destroy our country. They should be put in jail, each and every one of them, for throwing the country.”

Patriots: We can not coexist with these people...and they know it. 

They will be coming for you and me.

While we wait, they march and initiate plans.

The best defense is a good offense...and that time is coming soon, or those of us who don't die in a pre-dawn raid will meet in a Camp.

They are telegraphing their plans.  They are conditioning their milquetoast followers for the violence their more aggressive Comrades have planned.

Lose your illusions.

Most of us recognize that if you travel far enough to the Right of the political spectrum, you start finding common ground with some on the far Left.  While the goal may be common, usually the means is not.

You and I can probably agree with our Lefty friends regarding much of Issues 1 & 2 above.

But we would arrive at the goal by very different avenues.

There are other Issues above with which we agree with our Liberal Countrymen.  But while they look to the force of Government as the means, we look to the Constitution and the ideals embodied in our Founding Documents and the People as the mechanism.

The closed fist they have chosen tells you and me as much as we need to know about these silly folks.  In the end they will vote for Mao to bring about Nirvana, only to be slaughtered by their saviour once he is in power.

But one thing is on display that several in our Community have pointed out for quite a while: They want it more.

They are in the thousands, across the country, for weeks.  They are at Wall Street.  They are across the street from the White House.  It is They who are Everywhere.

How many showed to the last RTC in Atlanta?  Even I didn't make it to Atlanta, as last minute business forced me north instead of south.

How many showed to TL's Guardians event in DC?  His plan was essentially the same as what OccupyWallStreet is now doing...we had 3.  They have thousands.

Yes, I know the arguments that Patriots will offer.  This means nothing - Patriots have 2A and the will to use it.

I think most of us agree that the moment the FreeSh*t stops flowing to the FSA, they'll hit the streets with everything from firearms to Molotovs to bricks...and they have thousands for every Patriot that will actually leave his house.

Michael Moore wants the death of Capitalism.

Roseann Barr wants "The Rich" to face the guillotine if they fail to surrender their wealth.

When push comes to shove, they will rationalize your death as a necessary evil, because you impede their ability to provide Utopia for the people.

When push comes to shove, these people will embrace Mao's barrel of a gun philosophy.

Lose your illusions, Patriots.

What is coming has never happened before.  AmRevOne & AmRevTwo are useless as examples of what is coming.

Harden your hearts.

Stock Shock Monday

Unless something changes between now and then, if you are in the stock market Monday will be ugly.

Germany has announced that they will not go any deeper in debt - goodbye, Greece.  Goodbye Banksters holding Greek debt.  Banksters: Might I suggest leaping from a tall building after Tweeting, so we can all be sure to YouTube the video...

At the moment the Dow Futures are down 258 for the Monday Open.

Add that Monday is the beginning of a new Quarter, look for the big buyers to get back into gold.

Why We Suck...

This story articulates why America has begun to suck so badly over the past 100 years.

It isn't because FDR shoved the New Deal down our throats.  It isn't because Bush was a big-spending R who started wars to advance democracy.  It isn't even because of President Obama or any of his scandals.

It is because we, as a group, have not stood up to these people and their supporters when they are doing injury to an individual, a group, the economy or the republic.

We - you, me and those before us - have not bitch-slapped the Masters and Enemies of Liberty among us.

We have lost our internal moral compass and our willingness to excel, our willingness to defend excellence.

Just read this story and see if it makes sense for you on a broader socio-political scale.

The kid is a football machine.  He scores just about every time he touches the ball.

The solution?  His touchdowns no longer count after 3 in a game, so the other Little Darlin's on the field can still feel good about themselves.

That has become our default in America - tear down those among us who succeed.

Like the crabs in a bushel basket, the crabs on the bottom will grab and pull any escaping crab back among them.

The old Soviet example: My neighbor has three pigs and I have only two - I demand that Government go and kill one of my neighbors pigs!

Instead of letting this kid play the game by the rules that everyone else follows, they single him out and negate his excellence.  Instead of letting teams on defense work to improve themselves and learn to shut the kid down, we do it by Rule, instead.  

How about advancing the kid to the next league, as an option.  Maybe his talents will build even more if he is put with bigger, faster, stronger kids?

No.  Our default is to discourage.  Noone is exceptional.  Noone is allowed to be exceptional.

That is why America is no longer exceptional...because you and I tolerate such stupidity.

Here's the story.

Reality Check: No Shoes

For Patriots who anticipate support from the general populace when SHTF and Patriots move for the Greens across the republic to bring Liberty back...

Consider: Just 13,000 of the original III Percent camped at Valley Forge with little food, insufficient arms and ammo, and in many cases without shoes and other fundamentals.

This as the republic around them bustled in commerce.  The republic could have provided for their every need, and did not. 

When you march for the Green, do so with the full knowledge that you likely will fight for the duration with what you carry on your back.  Future meals and supplies will be won from the enemy, not purchased at Wal-Mart or donated by the merchants at the local shopping mall or your neighbors.  You will not have the luxury to re-supply by mail order.

Add to this the reality that the FSA is everywhere, Patriots are not.

They have more eyes and ears.  They will see something, and say something.

Lose your illusions.

When you are a hammer...

When you are a hammer you see everything as a nail.

The East Alton Copper Gang apparantly stole about $7 million dollars worth of copper from their employer over a 3 year period.  At $3/pound that is about 2.3 million pounds of copper.

Even if your boss is in the copper business, that's a LOT of copper to move in a 3 year period without being noticed by some aspect of Management.

Politicians in St. Louis see an opportunity to "fix" such problems in the future with legislation. 

They would put the burden on scrap dealers to log sales info and pay only in check form.  You can bet that there will soon be "fees" imposed to pay for the Government-employed regulators that will be required to "oversee the process and help police look for criminal behavior".

If you have a regulation, you need regulators.  Regulators cost money, and to pay them you impose taxes or fees upon the business transaction you are regulating.  What it really translates to is higher costs to the scrap dealer, lower returns to scrap sellers, and a general burden that simply need not exist.

But like the patrol cop must write tickets to prove to his superiors that he is really working, so must Government "do" something to prove their worth to voters.

But Theft is already illegal.  The bad guys were caught without the pending new legislation.  They will go through the system and the matter resolved.

But, will argue the Government officials, we could have caught them sooner if only our wonderful legislation had been in effect.

When you are a hammer...

Where does due diligence and responsibility come into the picture for the employer?  Are the plants management and security controls so shabby that millions of pounds of bulk can be walked out under their noses?  Obviously so.  Must you & I suffer for their negligence?

Soon in St. Louis you will be forced to identify yourself and make a financial record of selling scrap metals.  

How long before Government decides to simply force that every transaction we make be recorded...you know, to help reduce crime...for the children.

The only way to have an honest Government is to remove the profit motive.

The thieves, crooks, and Masters will go to other professions, leaving us alone to do business with one another and shoot anyone stealing our copper.

Here's the story.

Building the FSA: One State at a Time

Oregon received a $5 million dollar "Bonus" for adding more people to the FSA.

The end-user will like the money.  The politicians who get a piece of the bonus to spend will like the money.  The politicians who get re-elected by their FSA minions will like the power.

And when SHTF, you can bet the order will be given for the FSA to march...on you.

The FSA Army is not simply made up of inner-city black folk.  Look at every single person who receives payments in any form from the Government that are greater than the amount they put in over the years.  Look at every company that relies on Big Brother.  Look to every person taking a paycheck from Government.  Look to every Union.

The FSA is everyone who takes a freebie and every one of your neighbors who supports giving out freebies.

Do you grasp how outnumbered we are?

Real Scandals that bring down Administrations

Secret Banks & Bureaucrats

So, there is an off-the-books bank operating within Treasury that has unlimited borrowing limits from Treasury.  The bank is run by Treasury officials.

Sweet deal.

What we learn is that the bank came into existence in 1973.

So, how does a new Administration even learn that such a bank exists?

Bureaucrats and the institutional memory they represent, usually.  The real secrets of the republic are hidden in places known only to the bureaucrats charged with their maintenance, and probably revealed very selectively.  The bureaucrats are the machine of Government.

Keep that in mind when Restoration is front & center.

Wyoming State & Local LEO Joining with Air Force for Drunk Driving Crackdown

Kurt at InfoWars has a piece about more military & civilian cooperation for domestic ops. 

Of course these ops are simply to help blunt the military training that teaches these guys to shoot first and ask questions later.  When the military is brought in on a large scale, it will be bad PR if too many carloads of families get lit up as soldiers revert to the default responses to threats instilled in Boot.

This training works both ways.  Civilian LEO is exposed to the coming new standard of rougher & tougher rules of enforcement.

Drunk driving will be dangerous for you folks out in Wyoming.

But don't worry, I'm probably just succumbing to conspiracy theories.  Our Government would never turn loose the military on Citizens, and our military would surely refuse the orders, if given.

Here is the InfoWars piece.  Use the information as you will.
