  • Ladies and Gentlemen, We Have A Problem!

    The United States Army at Fort Knox classified us as militant and a national security risk.  They have started field exercises that are designed to teach their soldiers how to combat the national threat of the Tea Party Movement.  It should be noted that the Command Staff at Fort Knox already disciplined the officer involved in writing the orders for the exercise, but the precident has already been set, and the damage has already been done.  My father sent me this article from the Patriot Post, alerting me to the exercise, and I feel it only fitting that I pass this on to you, as it is relevant to our survival.  Take heed, we are now starting to be considered a physical threat to this president, who called in SWAT in Chicago to forcibly end a protest.  I fear that it only gets uglier from here. 

     

    Here is the article in its entirety, read and pray is about the only thing that I can suggest.  Also, prove that we are peaceful and true patriots. 

     

    Luke 6:27-28

    27. But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,

    28. Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you

     

    Army Preps for Tea Party 'Terrorists'

    · Thursday, April 29, 2010

    Publisher's Note: This is neither a retraction nor correction, but supplemental information regarding my essay, Army Preps for Tea Party 'Terrorists.' I was contacted by senior Command staff at Ft. Knox on the afternoon of the date of publication. They confirmed that there was a security exercise at Ft. Knox this week, and that an officer in the security loop altered the scenario "in order to make it more realistic." The fact that any officer would associate Tea Party folks with "white supremacists" armed with "military grade weapons" and "bomb making components," and believe that association would make this scenario "more realistic," is troubling, at best. The Command staff informed me that the alterations were not approved at the Command level and that the officer who circulated the scenario through official channels has been identified and will "receive appropriate counsel." In other words, the officer who authored it is now subject to discipline. Further, Command staff at Ft. Knox have provided assurances this type of scenario would not find its way into official circulation again.

    The facts remain: The security exercise scenario was described in my essay, exactly as it was written and circulated at Ft. Knox to both military and civilian personnel with security responsibilities. A handful of Patriots, at risk to their careers, came forth with this information and expected us to handle it honorably and accurately, and we did just that.

    In regard to the verbatim scenario documentation we posted, even though those documents were not classified, Command staff asked that we remove them for specified security reasons. As our mission is not only to uphold our Constitution by holding those in positions of authority accountable to their oaths, but also to support our uniformed Patriots, I agreed to remove the documents from our Web site as requested.


    "The duty imposed upon [the president] to take care, that the laws be faithfully executed, follows out the strong injunctions of his oath of office, that he will 'preserve, protect, and defend the constitution.' The great object of the executive department is to accomplish this purpose; and without it, be the form of government whatever it may, it will be utterly worthless for offence, or defence; for the redress of grievances, or the protection of rights; for the happiness, or good order, or safety of the people." --Justice Joseph Story

    A few months back, the commander in chief of our Armed Forces, that erstwhile community organizer Barack Hussein Obama, denigrated a large cross section of Americans who identify with the Tea Party movement -- those who advocate for Essential Liberty and Rule of Law.

    Obama identified them as malcontents, "waving their little tea bags."

    Since then, the Obama administration and their Leftmedia sycophants have endeavored to characterize Tea Party attendees as rude, radical, racist, redneck, enemies of the state. They have attempted to tie high-profile acts of violence against the government to the Tea Party, including the pilot who crashed his plane into a Texas IRS headquarters. (Turns out, he was a Leftwing nut.)

    In fact, Americans who attend Tea Party rallies are from all walks of life, as noted in the Patriot Declaration, Patriots who are peacefully and constitutionally petitioning their government for redress.

    As I noted in my tax-day essay, Tea Parties are "not a call for revolution but for restoration -- a call to undertake whatever measures are dictated by prudence and necessity to restore constitutional Rule of Law."

    However, Obama's words do have consequences.

    This week, I was contacted by a number of civilian and military personnel (enlisted and officer ranks) who expressed concern about a military exercise scenario proposed for Ft. Knox, the U.S. Bullion Depository. (For the record, I called Ft. Knox security for an official comment and received the standard reply: "We are not authorized to discuss this exercise.")

    As with most such exercises, the Ft. Knox scenario outline occurred in stages, as if real time intelligence was being provided at various intervals. The first intel advisory I received was issued on Friday, 23 April 2010, and identifies the terrorist threat adversaries as "Local Militia Groups / Anti-Government Protesters / TEA Party."

    You read that right: "TEA Party"!

    The advisory states that plans for a demonstration may have been interrupted by "Federal and local law enforcement" raids on a "White Supremacists Organization," but "TEA Party organizers have stated that they will protest at the Gold Vault at a future date."

    Further, the intel advisory states, "Anti-Government - Health Care Protesters have stated that they would join the TEA Party as a sign of solidarity."

    In accordance with the exercise proposal, Ft. Knox post security is placed on high alert because, "these groups are armed, have combative training and some are former Military Snipers. Some may have explosives training / experience," and "a rally at their compound / training area is scheduled."

    Another intel update was issued on Monday, 26 April 2010, noting that the "rally at the Militia compound occurred," and "Viable threats ... have been made." The intel on the rally notes, "Many members were extremely agitated at what they referred to as Government intervention and over taxation in their lives. Alcohol use 'fanned the flames.' Many military grade firearms were openly carried. An ad hoc 'shoot the government agent' event was held with prizes (alcohol) given for the best shot placement."

    The report states further, "Components of bomb making are reported to have been on the site. Some members have criminal records relating to explosive and weapons violations."

    In response to the "immediate threat," the exercise stipulates, "local detention centers are being made ready for mass arrests." Both the "QRF I and QRF II" are placed on two hour recall, and the "5-15 CAV" was ordered to "draw weapons from holder and store in most available arms room," and "coordinate with MASA for immediate ammunition draw; have equipment readied for immediate use, i.e. vehicles staged and loaded IAW 5-15 CAV SOP; LMR's charged."

    QRF refers to Quick Reaction Force. QRF I is the 194th Armored Brigade. QRF II is the 194th Armored Brigade.

    The 26 April order gives specific instructions for the 5-15 CAV (a 16th Cavalry battalion) to have weapons, ammo, vehicles and communications at ready, and it places the other 2,200 members of the units on two-hour recall. In other words, these orders are to gear up for defending Ft. Knox against Tea Party folks and their co-conspirators who oppose nationalization of our health care sector.

    Now, for almost 30 years I have, on occasion, participated in the development and implementation of small and large scale military exercises within the U.S. and around the world.

    Such exercises are critical to the readiness of our forces, and the standard for the real time intel reports in these drills requires thinly veiled references to assets of existing or collateral threat vectors, communist regimes such as China and terrorist networks such as al-Qa'ida, etc.

    Perhaps the author of the Ft. Knox scenario should focus on a response plan for, say, an Islamic terrorist who attacks unarmed troops on his own post. (See Ft. Hood / Major Nidal Malik Hasan.)

    While the Ft. Knox exercise scenario is amateurish in its construct (meaning it appears to be composed by someone with not much experience in such matters), the fact that it made it out into official channels sets an ominous political precedent.

    The military officers and enlisted personnel with whom I spoke are all dedicated uniformed Patriots who are loyal, first and foremost, to their oath to "support and defend" our Constitution "against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

    Their concerns about this exercise mirrored my own. As one put it, the scenario "misrepresents freedom loving Americans as drunken, violent racists -- the opponents of Obama's policies have been made the enemy of the U.S. Army."

    They were equally concerned that it appears the command staff at Ft. Knox had signed off on this exercise, noting, "it has been issued and owned by field grade officers who lead our battalions and brigades," which is to say many Lieutenant Colonels saw this order before it was implemented.

    It's not likely that Ft. Knox Commanding General James Milano or Deputy Commander Col. David Teeples, or even the regimental and brigade commanders for the 16th Cav and 194th AB, actually read the exercise scenario, but that doesn't absolve responsibility for such an egregious example of political agendas infiltrating military exercise scenarios.

    One officer insisted, "The American people should require greater accountability of their commissioned officers, that they abide by their oath and never allow politically motivated propaganda like this exercise on any post or base again."

    Another observed, "Whether this is complacency by officers who do not see such orders as a problem, or worse, officers who recognize the problem but do not insist the orders are changed, this is a serious problem. We are discussing the training of American citizen soldiers in the use of potentially deadly force against a specific group of political dissenters. There is never a time in an officer's career in which he does not have a duty to apply critical thought to the orders he is given and asked to give. It is my opinion that any officer that has allowed these orders to persist, to reach the level of junior officers and soldiers, has demonstrated a lack of judgment or apathy towards what his duty requires of him. Either way, we should demand more of the commissioned officers, who we as a nation empower to lead our sons and daughters into battle."

    Indeed, and at best, the blatant malfeasance on the part of the individuals who composed this exercise reflects poorly on the uniformed services.

    The antidote to this patent misrepresentation of peaceable Patriots is to expose it with the Light of Truth. As our motto Veritas vos Liberabit affirms, the Truth shall set you Free!

  • Dire Warnings From Russia

    Dire Warnings From Russia

    We, Americans, citizens of the greatest country in the world, need to heed the surprising warning issued to the world by Vladimir Putin, the current Prime Minister of Russia, a warning about “excessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in the state’s omnipotence.” Putin, having grown up under the Communist regime in the Soviet Union, understood the importance of not relying of the federal government for economic intervention. The Soviet Union was bankrupted by the practices that President Obama and the Liberal Party have been pushing for in America today.

    “In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the state’s role absolute,” Putin said during a speech at the opening ceremony of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated.”

    Vladimir Putin is noted for his economic policies in the Russian Federation, during his time as President of the Russian Federation, having brought Russia back from the fiscal crisis that was gripping the land. During his tenure poverty was reduced by more than half, the GDP was increased by 72% in Purchasing Power Parity or PPP, and average monthly salaries increased from $80 to $640 or by 150% in real rate. Other accomplishments include fundamental reforms, such as a flat income tax rate of 13%, reduced profits tax and land and legal codes. By his record alone, we should give serious weight to his warnings and turn back from the brink of socialism that is being pushed by Washington officials today.

    Soldiers stationed on the Demilitarized Zone in South Korea, on the tree covered hills, upon which the Army trained, could look out across the fields and hills of North Korea. The land was devoid of so much as a shrub, bleak and barren, because the people of North Korea had burned them all for firewood in the winter to keep warm. Vladimir Putin witnessed this first hand in his own country, saw the starvation and lack of heat, despite oil reserves in Russia and bountiful harvests in Ukraine, another member of the Soviet Union. He felt that this was an important warning to give because the countries around the world are embracing the philosophies that caused the economic and social turmoil in his country’s past.

    “Nor should we turn a blind eye to the fact that the spirit of free enterprise, including the principle of personal responsibility of businesspeople, investors, and shareholders for their decisions, is being eroded in the last few months. There is no reason to believe that we can achieve better results by shifting responsibility onto the state.” Putin continued. The current administration has ignored this warning, seizing control of corporations and demanding fiscal budgets from financial institutions. Congress cancelled hearings it had been planning to run on several major organizations for the cost related to the tax break cut that is a part of the Health Care Reform bill. These corporations could not afford competitive Health Care Coverage mandated, without cost increases, and Congress was going to call them to the hot seat for simply stating that this was the case.

    Along with Putin’s warning, here is a final thought from Norman Thomas, a noted American Socialist, who said in an interview during a presidential campaign in 1948, “The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

  • A letter to the People of the United States of America;

    To introduce myself and my philosophy, I must admit that I am a constitutionalist. I am not a conservative or a republican, and most definitely not a liberal or democrat. Norman Thomson, a noted American Socialist once said that "The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism, but under the name of Liberalism, they will adopt every fragment until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened." We are turning into that socialist nation, now. According to President Obama, we needed to change, but most Americans, those who voted for him, and those that opposed didn't ask what that change was. The socialist party here in America, when asked who their candidate for president was, they said they didn't have because Obama was enough of a socialist that they didn't need one. Apparently, the socialist party of America did their research, but the general population didn't. There is a major outcry now due to his policies, but had there been some research into his past, we would not have elected him president. President Obama is not the first of the socialist agenda pushers in the United States, but, rather, he is just the latest in a long line of them.
    Progressivism is nothing more than refined socialism and communism. The concept of redistribution of wealth in America is almost one hundred years old, with President Woodrow Wilson, which is straight out of the communist manifesto and the works of socialist author Freidrick Neitsche.

    Constitutionalism, Liberalism, and Socialism

    True conservatism in America is actually Constitutionalism, which belongs to neither the Republican or Democratic Parties, who are neither following the Constitution or the beliefs of the Founding Fathers. It is a set of ideals that are based on the Constitution of the United States and the works of the Founding Fathers, such as Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers. In the United States, we have turned away from the Constitution and the Founders intent. We must turn back our politicians and the beauracratic machine in Washington, forcing them to follow the laws and restrictions set for them by the Constitution. I know that this is not generally considered to be fashionable in the world today. But the United States was meant to be the city set on the Hill to show the world what true government should be. We turned away from it in order to become fashionable like Europe, with Socialism and Communism. We fought a war in Europe to end National Socialism, and a cold war with Russia over Communism, yet while we fought those wars we permitted it a foothold in America in our government. Government is notorious for false promises, but we bought this promise, hook ,line and sinker, "if you give me your right and freedoms I promise that I will let you have half of them back. Remember that all this is for the security of the nation, so you can actually have your freedoms." It is like giving all your money to the mob for protection against the other mob, with the hope that the first mafia would let you have you money back. We have become like Tiny Tim, during Tax season, "Please, sir, could I have a little more," and the federal government, more and more, is saying "No, and I am keeping a little more for your audacity in asking this favor." It was our Money to begin with, and we need to be like our Founders and say "No more, this far and no further," despite the fact that this philosophy is not popular at the moment. Thomas Paine said this in the Introduction to Common Sense, "Perhaps the sentiments in the following pages, are not sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor, a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises formidible outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason." This can be seen from both sides, both the socialist side and the constitutionalist side.
    First, the socialist side will see this as meaning that because they pulled one over on the population of America, and the outcry is in defense of custom, but it doesn't matter, that tumult will subside and time will let them continue on the path that they established.
    Second, the constitutionalist side sees it like this. The people have not seen these kinds of things as wrong for so long that it had the superficial concept of being right, but because the government, so blatant, performed as it has recently in dirrect opposition of the will of the people, there is a outcry against the fashionable socialism shown by the government. Though their opinions have not been proved as generally fashionable, but so long as the tumult doesn't subside, time will give them the converts rather than the federal government.
    Like I said I am a Constitutionalist and I believe that it is the responsibilty of the American people to continue to stir the pot of public opinion and learn our true form of government and exercise our rights as the biggest check and balance of the federal government. The Preamble to the Constitution starts with the words "We the People of the United States" showing where the authority of the federal government comes from. To many of us have not learned what our government systems are and that we need to watch the politicians and ensure that they follow our will and our Constitution, and deny them the authority to follow socialist policies that have gotten our country in the trouble that is has gotten into.
    Now, I must explain why I call the progressive liberalism in the government, Socialism and Communism, so let me give you a quote from Norman Thomson, a well known American Socialist, "The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." We are now waking up, and looking around seeing that our country is a Socialist nation, and we do not have a clue how it happened. President Obama is not the beginning of the Socialist era of our government, he is just the latests in a long line of Socialistic program pushers. The Socialist Party of America didn't even have a candidate for President the last election, because Obama was the most openly Socialist candidate out there. This is why I call Progressive liberalism Socialism and will continue to do so as well.
