An eclectic aggregation of ideas, images and opinions from selected sources about keeping Liberty alive. There comes a time in the contest for freedom that the "rules" must go out the window. One always hopes that the oligarchy recognize that resistance by the people is an insistent warning that they as a formerly preoccupied giant arouses. They are warning to step NOT upon upon their rights or else suffer the wrath of unintended consequences.
Nemo me impune lacessit! Carpe Libertas!
Happy New Year! We hope that your Samhain is a wonderful time. May you be blessed with abundance and plenty this new year. Father sun has gone to sleep, Covered by a blanket deep, Hibernating with the bear, Clad in fallen leaves to wear, Gone to rest his tired lights, Shorter days and longer nightsAt all Hallow's Tide, may God keep you safe From goblin and pooka and black-hearted stranger, From harm of the water and hurt of the fire, From thorns of the bramble, from all other danger, From Will O' The Wisp haunting the mire; From stumbles and tumbles and tricksters to vex you, May God in His mercy, this week protect you. And now.....some REALLY SCARY STUFF!!!
Using data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau, the ACLU has determined that nearly 2/3 of the entire US population (197.4 million people) live within 100 miles of the US land and coastal borders.
The government is assuming extraordinary powers to stop and search individuals within this zone. This is not just about the border: This " Constitution-Free Zone" includes most of the nation's largest metropolitan areas.
We urge you to call on Congress to hold hearings on and pass legislation to end these egregious violations of Americans' civil rights.
BARACK OBAMA :The chicken crossed the road because it was time for change! The chicken wanted change ! JOHN MC CAIN:My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on theother side of the road. HILLARY CLI NTON:When I wasFirst Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure right from Day One! that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me. GEORGE W. BUSH:We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here. DICK CHENEY:Where's my gun? COLIN POWELL:Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road. BILL CLINTON:I did not cross the road with that chicken. What is your definition of chicken? ALGORE: I invented the chicken. JOHN KERRY:Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it. AL SHARPTON:Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens. DR. PHIL:The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem onthisside of the road before it goes after the problem on theotherside of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his current problems before adding new problems. OPRAH:Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens. ANDERSONCOOPER, CNN:We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road. PAT BUCHANAN:To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American. MARTHA STEWART:No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information. DR SEUSS:Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told. ERNEST HEMINGWAY:To die in the rain, alone. GRANDPA:In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough. BARBARA WALTERS:Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of moulting, and went on to accomplish its lifelong dream of crossing the road. ARISTOTLE:It is the nature of chickens to cross the road. JOHN LENNON:Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace. BILL GATES:I have just released eChicken2008, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken2008. This new platform is much more stable and will never reboot. ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken? COLONEL SANDERS :Did I miss one?
Aaron James has been holed up in his apartment in "WinniePig" since the Canadian gestapo under a cross border collusion with USA agents have tried to illegally abduct him back to Minneapolis. His story is a danger to the bankruptcy bailout merger of Northwest Airlines and Delta Airlines. LOTS of $$$ and jobs at stake here. Turns out McCain is up to his eyeballs in pals and donors from Northwest Airlines. All this hassle because a young man wanted to file a complaint about being racially profiled by Northwest Airlines during a flight to the Mayo Clinic for treatment. Please forward this info to ALL news outlets, reporters and radio hosts. This McCain connection shows that McCain is just another lowlife hypocrite politician and NOT A Maverick!

McCain's Ties to Northwest Airlines Motivation for Covert Persecution 3 years ongoing:
Presidential candidate John McCain I have now discovered, is deeply connected to the persecution ongoing against my mother and I in the wake of the Jan 18/06 MinneapolisNorthwest Airlines profiling attack upon my mother and I, via his close association with Northwest Airlines, the official airline of his political campaign and the fact that his lawyers have Northwest Airlines as one of their top two primary clients!!- a detail which I have just this second uncovered, the most profound aspect, bar none of our ordeal.
THE EVIDENCE OF MCCAIN NORTHWEST AIRLINES TIES:
***--->>>Northwest Airlines is primary supporter of McCain re airlines
The individuals in this chart are all current or former lobbyists who either serve as fundraisers for McCain's campaign or senior aides or advisers. There are currently 118126129130133 134 lobbyists working for or raising money for McCain's campaign.
ARTICLE McCain Supporting Northwest Airlines: http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/2008/08/northwest-airlines-supporting.php "1) If you've taken a flight on Northwest Airlines in August you may have noticed the full cover of their in-flight magazine, World Traveler, greets you with the trio of Norm Coleman, John McCain, and Tim Pawlenty with the headline "The Republican's Are Coming!" The full-length photo identifies "Presidential candidate John McCain is flanked by Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty." Meanwhile Barack Obama gets a less than two inch inset headshot photo which fails to mention that he is a senator, also a Presidential candidate, oh, yeah, and that his name is Barack Obama.
2) Then there's the message from NWA President & CEO Doug Streland which reminds us that his airline is the official airline of the Republican convention. ... 3) Inside the magazine, the splashy feature article on the Republican convention includes the cover photo of the three men again along with brief descriptions of them, including "fun facts." 4) An article called "Denver: Eat, Sleep, Play," is more or or less a travel guide for the city, and includes a 4 inch photo of Obama captioned "Presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama." He gets no bio or "fun facts."
So, my questions are basic: Why is John McCain a "Presidential candidate" and Barack Obama just a "Presumptive Democratic nominee?" Why is Obama uncaptioned on the cover? Why use the word "flanked" rather than "appears with" or just their names as in the second Obama photo. Why do the Republicans get bios and Obama nothing? Why is part of my NWA airfare going to support the Republican Party and John McCain?
Larkin nails it again! BUY A GUN!! PREFERABLY A RIFLE WITH A SCOPE! a LONG BUT WORTHWHILE POST!
Troubling Comments
By Larken Rose
Tyrants prefer to be able to use violence whenever they want.
October 19, 2008 - Not long ago, I sent out a message titled The Militia Is You, encouraging people to arm themselves. I said, more bluntly than many "gun rights" folks do, that I want you, the public, to have the ability to kill government agents, both military and police. No, I wasn't telling you to go out and start gunning down feds (as my message also explained), but I firmly believe -- as did the Founders -- that the people should always retain the ability to forcibly resist their own government.
Well, the government folk who monitor what I do didn't really like that. (Of course, that doesn't surprise me. Tyrants prefer to be able to use violence whenever they want, without their victims having the means to resist.) So Floyd Miller at the DOJ wrote a letter to the U.S. Probation office, complaining about my message.
(As many of you will recall, this is the same Assistant U.S. Attorney who lied to the court, lied to the jury, and violated federal law, the Constitution, and DOJ policy, in order to get me convicted for a crime he knew I hadn't committed. The whole story, in all its gruesome detail, is found in my book, Kicking the Dragon which I'm sure the DOJ is working on banning as we speak.)
Below is the text of Mr. Miller's letter to U.S. Probation. The comments inside brackets [like this] are mine.
- ----------<>------------
It is my understand that you are the probation officer who is supervising Larken Rose.
[Actually, I've been off of "supervised release" for almost a year.]
Mr. Rose was recently released from prison after serving time for a tax fraud conviction.
[First, it wasn't "recently"; it was almost two years ago. Second, this guy can't remember what he had me wrongfully imprisoned for. It was misdemeanor willful failure to file, not tax evasion, and not any kind of fraud.]
I am sending you an e-mail which Mr. Rose recently posted on his website which, at a minimum, is troubling to say the least.
[First it was sent to my e-mail list, not posted on my web site. Second, of course it troubles fascists to think of having to oppress a populace that is armed.]
I am not certain whether the contents of the e-mail violate any of the terms and conditions of his supervised release.
[Even when I was on supervised release, there was no condition about "Don't say stuff we don't like," or anything else having to do with saying or writing anything.]
His comments clearly run afoul of civilized behavior.
[This from the guy who signed off on having a dozen Gestapo morons carry out an armed invasion of my home because I said things they didn't want people hearing. How "civilized" was that? Below are some more examples of comments from other people that Mr. Miller would no doubt think "run afoul of civilized behavior."]
If you confront Mr. Rose with this matter, he will probably cite his First Amendment Right to say whatever he pleases about the United States.
[If I was still on supervised release, I would.]
My concern is that other individuals who read his postings might be mentally unstable and decide to follow the suggestions of Mr. Rose.
[First of all, the only suggestion I made was to buy a rifle. I specifically explained that "I'm not telling you to go start gunning down feds." So far the only mentally unstable person I know of who misunderstood my suggestion was Mr. Miller. Second, my message in one place qualified my suggestion with "If you are mentally stable," and in another place said that I encouraged "all sane, responsible people" to be armed.]
For this reason, I write to memorialize this situation.
[Where will the statue be erected? This guy is the master at trying to use big words to sound educated, only to demonstrate how ignorant he is. I think he meant he wanted to make a record of my heretical comments, but that's not what "memorialize" means. (He's the same one who claimed, at my trial, that I thought I was the only one in "the continental United States" who understood the tax code. Huh?)]
Please consider whether this is a matter which should be brought to Judge Baylson's attention.

There are so many issues this brings up, I hardly know where to begin.
First of all, the letter, and even the government monitoring of what I do, is absolutely and obviously intended to have a "chilling effect" on free speech -- mine as well as yours. Tyrants know that they can silence a LOT of dissent without banning anything. A letter or a visit from a government thug, a thinly veiled threat of "legal" action, or even just letting people know that what they say and do is being watched by disapproving government eyes, makes a LOT of people choose to shut up, in order to avoid trouble for themselves. (As for me, I'm too dense to take the hint, so don't expect me to shut up any time soon.)
Peter Goldberger, the attorney who handled my sentencing and appeal, apparently didn't like Mr. Miller's little censorship attempt either, and decided to write him a letter. It's worth noting that Mr. Goldberger and I have differing views about lots of things, including the Second Amendment, but we agree that people with different views have the right to EXPRESS them. (Or, as Voltaire put it, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.") The following is the text of the letter that Mr. Goldberger sent to Mr. Miller:
- ------<>---------
Thank you for sending me a copy of your October 14 letter to U.S. Probation Officer George Reed concerning my client, Larken Rose. Your "understanding" of this case is deeply flawed. Mr. Rose was not convicted of "tax fraud" but rather of misdemeanor failures to file returns. Nor was he "recently released from prison." His release from BOP custody occurred on December 29, 2006. His period of supervised release expired one year later.
Contrary to your unsubstantiated assertion, the e-mail you copied and enclosed was never "posted on his website." (The truth, as I'm sure you know, is that the IRS is "monitoring" Mr. Rose's communications, or at least some of them.) Your suggestion that his expression of his political and legal opinions might even conceivably "violate any of the terms and conditions of his supervised release" -- even if he were presently under supervision -- and your further suggestion that the Probation Officer might "confront" him about his political writings are designed to achieve a "chilling effect" on that expression. As you should be aware, the First Amendment prohibits you from engaging in such conduct in your official capacity, even when you feel Mr. Rose's "comments" may "run afoul of civilized behavior." If some "mentally unstable" (or any other) person were to engage in illegal behavior, which you suggest is your sole "concern," that person can be held accountable. The First Amendment does not permit provocative (or even "troubling") writings to be suppressed because a reader might interpret (or misinterpret) them as calling for unlawful action.
The government's continued surreptitious monitoring of Mr. Rose violates his First Amendment right to express his opinions and conclusions -- whether you and I agree with them or not. Even though such political surveillance by the Executive Branch has become all too common in the last eight years, it remains unconstitutional and un-American.
If you disagree with me on these important matters, I would be most interested to know the nature of and basis for that view.

In addition to First Amendment issues, Mr. Miller's letter also brings to mind a bunch of philosophical issues relating to the Second Amendment.
Breaking the law is illegal. That's a truism. The government is never going to say that breaking the law, or resisting "law enforcers" is okay. And that is true no matter what "the law" is, be it laws against murder, laws enforcing slavery, or laws saying that all Jews have to get in the cattle cars to be shipped off to their deaths. (There is one noteworthy, really weird exception to be found in the New Hampshire state constitution, and a couple of others, which recognizes the "Right of Revolution" -- the right of the people to resist oppressive government.)
MOST robberies, murders, and other assaults in history were "legal" (done by government agents), and therefore RESISTING them was, by definition, illegal. It was a CRIME to help a slave to escape; it was a CRIME to hide Jews from the Nazis; it was a crime to disobey the commands of the thugs of Stalin, Lenin, Mao, etc. And so, for much of history, the good people were often the "law-breakers," and the "law-enforcers" were often the bad guys. And that's why I always want the people to have the means to forcibly resist the government. And I'm not the only one who has ever thought so.
"The strongest reason for the people to retain their right to keep and bear arms is as a last resort to protect themselves against tyranny in government." [Thomas Jefferson]
I wonder if Floyd Miller thinks these words "clearly run afoul of civilized behavior."
"A people armed and free forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition and is a bulwark for the nation against foreign invasion and domestic oppression." [James Madison]
I wonder if Mr. Miller would like to send a letter to the probation officer of the "Father of the Constitution" for making such a "troubling" comment.
"If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government." [Alexander Hamilton]
Someone ought to confront this guy about his extremist, inflammatory rhetoric. And this guy, too:
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." [George Washington]
We can't allow talk like this! Something must be done!
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined." [Patrick Henry]
Are these wackos suggesting that the common rabble should always retain the means to use violence against government agents? If we allow people to say this sort of thing, it might inspire some nutcase radicals to forcibly resist government! Oh, wait. It already DID inspire that. We now call it "The American Revolution."
As it happens, the JPFO just put out a great video about the Second Amendment:
This is comic weekend. One of the principles I believe in is to NOT recreate the wheel. When someone else has said or is saying what you want to say, just let them. There is no need to try to reword what they have said, just endorse or caveat their points. Many great thinkers, writers and artists are not fully appreciated until after they are dead. They are visionaries on or beyond the cutting edge of perceived reality. The rest of the herd, flock or troop has to catch up, sometimes years after the creation of the piece. In many ways thinkers and writers are also artists. They just use words to express ideas as their medium. They see things as they are and or will become and try to warn and expose so that the public will benefit. However, because most people are sheeple and the masses are asses, they seldom recognize the importance of the truth that they can't see until they in their desperation look back. Therefore, don't squander great thoughts, ideas and insight just because it is not original with you. Share them so that we all may be annoyed, challenged, inspired to learn and enjoy. To read easier click on the comic and they should enlarge.
The World is divided into armed camps ready to commit genocide just because we can't agree on whose fairy tales to believe. In the end, Religion will kill us all. -- Ed Krebs
"I would probably have to say yes, that the Constitution established the United States of America as a Christian nation." -- John McCain
"Just before us is a nuclear countdown with Iran, followed by the final battle: the battle of Armageddon . . . . The end of the world as we know it is rapidly approaching. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad. The best is yet to be." -- Televangelist and McCain endorser John Hagee
"Americans must be 'Christocrats' -- citizens of both their country and the Kingdom of God"; "And that is not a democracy; that is a theocracy"; "That means God is in control, and you are not." -- Televangelist and McCain supporter Rod Parsley
"The Constitution established the United States of America as a Christian nation"-- John McCain, September 2007
"Our national leaders, are sending soldiers out on a task that is from God. That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan." --Sarah Palin, on the Iraq war
What did the Fascist regimes in Italy, Germany, and Spain have in common? They consisted of a highly militarized state, backed by corporation and a wealthy elite, that rose to power through a false populism that exploited the public’s fear of foreigners and "moral degenerates".
This precisely defines the formula that Karl Rove designed to consolidate the Bush administration’s power in the recent election. --Sean Donahue, Nov. 2004
PUBLIC NOTICE: Whereas the Federal Government of the United States, without my leave or consent, has authorized and continues to authorize spending far in excess of revenues, and has recklessly incurred and continues to incur debt with no consideration or reasonable possibility of repayment; I will not be responsible in whole or in part for the debt incurred by the Federal Government of the United States, or any Department, Bureau, or Delegate thereof.
The Three Percent are the folks the Founders counted on to save the Republic when everyone else abandoned it. And we will. There will be no more free Wacos and no more free Katrinas. For we are the Three Percent. We will not disarm. You cannot convince us. You cannot intimidate us. You can try to kill us, if you think you can. But remember, we’ll shoot back . We are not going away. We are not backing up another inch. And there are THREE MILLION OF US. Your move, Mr. Wannabe Tyrant. Your move.
Happy New Year! We hope that your Samhain is a wonderful time. May you be blessed with abundance and plenty this new year. Father sun has gone to sleep, Covered by a blanket deep, Hibernating with the bear, Clad in fallen leaves to wear, Gone to rest his tired lights, Shorter days and longer nights At all Hallow's Tide, may God keep you safe From goblin and pooka and black-hearted stranger, From harm of the water and hurt of the fire, From thorns of the bramble, from all other danger, From Will O' The Wisp haunting the mire; From stumbles and tumbles and tricksters to vex you, May God in His mercy, this week protect you.
