The Time To Fight Back Is Now: Striking Back at Police State Amerika

[Twisted Titan]

Every day a granny is goosed by TSA, a federal swat team raids the wrong house, a citizen acquitted of a crime still has their property confiscated by authorities, even the dumbed down public is aware that their every communication is monitored by the NSA and Obama has set his administration up to violate every constitutional right of every citizen in America under the NDAA and Executive Order 13603.





Anyone who possess an IQ above room temperature is aware that our federal government is totally out of control and is wreaking tyranny upon the American people. As a people, we have seemingly grown numb to the constitutional violations perpetrated by our government against the citizens of this country. However, the abuse of citizens does not begin and end with the federal government.







Trickle Down Tyranny


With ever increasing frequency, the alternative media reports countless numbers of stories of citizen abuse at the hands of their local police and city officials. The local police departments have been federalized by DHS. They are provided millions of federal dollars for equipment and the new breed of police view the people as their enemy as opposed to the old cops walking a beat who previously viewed the majority of the people as their ally against crime. Through the influence of DHS, your local police department is looking to pounce on your every mistake with excessive force and brutality and they do so frequently while ignoring and violating any number of constitutional protections.






When Is An Arrest Is Not Really An Arrest?


Portland police officer Dean Halley must have failed his American Government class in high school. A reasonable person would also have to wonder if Portland Deputy City Attorney William Manlove got his law degree from Walmart. what am I referring to? Well, if the Scott Miller jaywalking case is any indication, the Portland legal system is one big fascist entity that is totally out of control.



http://shtfplan.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/policestateamerika2.png

Scott Miller was running late to work. In an effort to catch his bus, he diagonally jaywalked in the crosswalk to catch his rid.

Portland police officer Dean Halley was on patrol and was able to intervene just in the nick of time and arrest this menace to society. Halley approached Miller and told him to produce identification. Miller was subsequently fumbling around on his person looking for his ID when Halley immediately pounced on Miller, knocked him to the ground, informed Miller that he was under arrest and placed him in handcuffs (http://yorktowntradingpost.com/?s=Scott+Miller+). Halley subsequently confined Miller in the back of his police cruiser and then proceeded to drive the criminal jaywalker a block away. The total ordeal lasted 30 minutes, but while in the police cruiser, Miller experienced a panic attack and paramedics were dispatched to the scene to administer aid. Miller was subsequently convicted in court of failure to obey a traffic signal.



Miller has obtained an attorney, Leonard Berman, and Miller is attempting to sue the Portland Police Department for an illegal arrest because jaywalking is not an offense that one can be arrested for.




Halley, a 20 year police veteran, admits (http://yorktowntradingpost.com/?s=Scott+Miller+) he told Miller that he was under arrest. However, Deputy City Attorney William Manlove (http://yorktowntradingpost.com/?s=Scott+Miller+) is arguing that citizens cannot sue under these circumstances because such acts do not constitute an actual arrest. Manlove stated that the encounter between Halley and Miller amounted to no more than a “chat.” Manlove characterized the encounter as being something “between a chat and custody, but not an arrest for purposes of legal action.” Are you kidding me?






The Real Crime Committed by Officer Halley

Let’s take Manlove’s twisted version of the encounter between Halley and Miller, and blindly conclude that Halley did not arrest Miller, despite knocking him down, telling him he was under arrest, handcuffing him, placing him in the police car and drove him a block away. For the sake of argument let’s be in agreement with Manlove that this was just a friendly chat. Under these circumstances that both sides agree upon, was there a crime committed by Halley? You bet there was. The first crime committed by Halley is called aggravated assault. Halley was presumably armed and attacked Miller knocking him to the ground. When Halley handcuffed Miller, he committed the offense of unlawful imprisonment just the same when one abusing spouse will not let their partner leave the premises. And the biggest crime committed by Halley is that this officer is guilty of kidnapping which is what it is called when someone forcibly detains a person and removes them to another location. Please keep in mind that jaywalking is an offense for which a person cannot be arrested for committing. In the upside down world of the Portland legal system, Miller gets convicted in court and Halley is not in jail for aggravated assault, unlawful detention and kidnapping.






What Is Wrong With Portland Is a Microcosm of the US

Who among has never jaywalked? All of us are risk to be the next victim of this tyranny. Unfortunately, the behavior of officer Halley and City Attorney Manlove is typical of most police departments and their prosecutors. They get off on the rush of lording power over others. Prosecutors think that they will move ahead in their careers with high conviction rates and many of the police think the same by looking to arrest as many people as possible and going so far as to even inventing crimes for which to arrest the public for. This is why the United States contains 25% of the world’s prison population despite only having 5% of the world’s population.The US is number one in the world in people who are incarcerated.

Portland, like almost every other city is broke and has been under an austerity plan (http://www.solidarityagainstausterity.org/) for the past couple of years. This encourages the cops to hide behind the bushes and catch as many speeders as possible. Cops, in short, are mandated to be mobile tax collectors and they are looking for any excuse to make arrests for the most minor of offenses. These behaviors are not compatible with a supposedly free society.



In preparation for this article, I have been watching some episodes from the TV show, Cops, in order to assess the quality of interactions with the public. In one episode I viewed, a cop pulls over a cyclist for coasting through a stop sign in a quiet residential neighborhood. Just like officer Halley, the Sacramento cop thinks this provides him with the right to violate the man’s Fourth Amendment rights. With no probable cause to search the man’s backpack and person, the cop does just that. The man had a marijuana pipe in his backpack and off to jail he goes in another stunning example of your tax dollars at work.Before you tell me that the man got his just desserts, please read the Fourth Amendment.




In another episode, the Tampa police were conducting undercover marijuana sales to motorists. As part of the bust, an unmarked cop car speeds out of a hiding place and rams the front end of the drug buyers car. When a couple of the arrested individuals protested the ramming of their cars, a Tampa cop repeatedly states that “this is no longer your car, we own it and you will have to buy it back from us.”




I don’t use drugs and I have not smoked marijuana, but you have to be kidding me when we asked to believe that the cops have the right seize anyone’s car for a small amount of marijuana. What if the buyers had purchased their marijuana on foot, would their shoes or possibly their clothes been stolen by the Tampa Police Department? These thugs with a badge will also take your house for having small amounts of marijuana in their house. Whose interests are these cops serving?




The TV show that takes the case is Bait Car. As an aside, I have had my car stolen twice and I wanted the perpetrators arrested and prosecuted. I want gangster drug dealers busted and sent to prison. However, do we really want to send marijuana users to prison? When is it good law enforcement to bait people into committing a crime they might not otherwise commit? This is true of undercover drug sales of personal use quantities of drugs and it is definitely true when the cops bait people into stealing their bait car by making it inviting. Isn’t there enough crime that should occupy law enforcement without entrapping the public? However, one should remember that the prisons are being transitioned into for profit ventures and the cops and prosecutors are all too happy to cooperate with the Bush family et al in this venture. Who really thinks that this represents good law enforcement? Yet, the show Bait Car, is all about entrapping people who might not otherwise commit a crime.






The Small Town of Deer Trail, CO. Is Leading the Way In the Fight Against Tyranny


The town board Deer Trail, CO., is considering an ordinance (http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_23676390/deer-trail-considers-hunting-licenses-drones) in which residents may soon be allowed to shoot down drones. The ordinance would permit people with hunting licenses to fire bullets at the hated drones. Also, the town would also pay these drone hunters $100 for each “mechanical hide” with federal markings. Is there anyone reading this that is not smiling from ear to ear?




I do not really think it is a good idea to be shooting bullets up in the air because they can return to earth with devastating consequences. But in this small town, someone is finally showing the intestinal fortitude that is needed in this country in order to fight back against federal and local tyranny. The proposed ordinance is certainly more symbolic than real. However, it is a start and you know that somewhere in the DOD, they just discovered where Deer Trail, CO. is located on a map. We need more Deer Trails.






What Can Be Done in Cities Like Portland


Although we don’t want to be shooting bullets in the air at drones, there are things we can do to fight against an out of control government and its increasing level of criminality.




Portland citizens should consider conducting a mass jaywalking night and do so in front of the police headquarters. Portland should also sponsor a “film the police” night. People armed with their cell phones should video tape every police action that they witness. If the cops know that they are under increased surveillance, then they might behave and the officer Halley’s of the law enforcement world will find their next job at Walmart conducting parking lot security as their transgressions are caught on tape and they rightfully lose their jobs.




Yes I know, that people have been arrested for filming the police. When that happens the people of that community need to recall their mayor for facilitating state sponsored terrorism against their citizens. This is what should already be happening in Portland. I say that if the police want to put the people under such undue surveillance, we the people need to return the favor. In places like Portland, businesses should not be serving law enforcement personnel and prosecutors. Prosecutors such as Portland Deputy City Attorney, Manlove and officer Halley, should not be able to find a place to do their laundry. Apartment owners should refuse to rent to these “types”.




Don’t let your children play with their children. After filming cops and their transgressions, show up at city council meetings with still photographs and present them at the public comment period. Start Youtube channels which features public officials and their wrongdoings. Take pictures of the weeds in their yards and send the photos and a request for action to their local HOA’s. Embarrass any government and law enforcement official with public exposure when they break the law and violate the civil liberties of their citizens.


All Politics Is Not Local


Local boycotts and protests are certainly easier to implement on a local level. However, the same principles need to be employed against federal officials. Treat them and their families like they have the plague. IRS and NSA officials should be treated like the colonists did the Stamp Tax collectors in pre-Revolutionary War period.




If you own a mid-size business, go to video conferencing strategies in order to conduct long distance activities. Send the airlines a letter telling them that you are not subjecting your employees to the tyranny of the TSA and your people will not be flying. If enough of us did that, the TSA would fade away instead of expanding to trains, bus depots and highways. The entire country needs to be sending such a letter to the airlines. For when US Airways, Southwest and the other virtual airline monopolies are financially hurting, they will be screaming at the federal government to change their corrupt system.




To strike back at the criminal IRS, shop at garage sales. Trade and barter as much as you can. Refuse to use one of the five megabanks as a lender to buy a house in response to the MERS robo-signer mortgage fraud. Use your local credit union for all loans. Follow the same advice for buying a car. In fact, you should not buy a car until you can pay cash for it. Take the debt advantage away from the banksters that have hijacked our government. Refuse to shop at a corporate chain store such as Kmart, Walmart or any other slavemart store and shop locally. Unlike the failed LA riots of 1992, we do not have to burn down our own neighborhoods to make a statement. We just need to withdraw our support and our money.




Educate Your Children Outside the System



American families need to ban together and educate their children outside the system as much as possible. Someone just brought to my attention that some fully accredited foreign universities are having discussions aboutoffering online classes to American college students at a fraction of the cost in response to the tyrannical post-secondary education system that is running the show in the US. These foreign entrepreneurs are looking to profit from the predatory practices being exhibited our post-secondary institutions. The student loan debacle in this country is highly criminal and is extremely predatory and should be avoided at all costs.



Homeschooling will soon be outlawed in the US for the same reasons it was outlawed in Germany. The establishment wants people smart enough to do their job, but not so smart that they can question authority. This does not change the responsibility factor of parents who need to redouble their efforts to not let their children believe that the constitutional violations happening in our country are acceptable.

Parents need to focus on raising their children to respect the rule of law (i.e. the Constitution), not the thuggery that has replaced the rule of law. The globalists need to know that no generation of Americans will ever accept and fully submit to their tyranny and eventually the banksters day of justice will come.

Explore alternatives. Non-participation is the ultimate blow to any corrupt organization.

You must attend your Congressman’s next Town Hall Meeting. Show up and tell them that you will work to unelect them unless they subject themselves to the same substandard and dangerous Obamacare system that they have sentenced us to. Unelect all incumbents until they repeal this genocidal, death panel ridden form of health care. And the same standard of political retention needs to be applied to the repeal of the Stasi inspired NDAA.




I do not have the space to present all of my ideas on striking back at what I dub “Police State Amerika,” but I am sure my point is not lost on those who have a backbone and a pulse.



Did I mention to store and grow your own food, store water and hide your guns and ammo? Do these three things now in preparation for the possible time that you may need them when the Russian/NATO/UN troops come knocking at your door. Don’t make the mistake of believing that when the Russians show up at your door to seize your guns, that officer Halley will respond to save the day.




Nonviolence Does Not Imply Compliance




It is time people for the spirit of civil disobedience to rear its head. Short of not complying with any form of gun confiscation. The type of peaceful revolution that I am proposing can be effective without ever firing a shot. Those that know me, know that I am nonviolent. However, that does not mean that I will not become non compliant against this encroaching tyrannical police state.




If we are going down as a country, I am not submitting without a fight. Will you join me? The time to fight back is now! What is your idea on how to fight back against this tyranny? Please leave a comment with your suggestion.Writing your suggestions is the first step towards action. If you care about your country and your children’s future, let your voice be heard.

When I was in Cuba I was a little skinny little 116 lbs guy that everybody just to pick on...and then I found the secret to being just like the biggest guy in the block....... a police special .30......... the only power that a cop has over you is the one to be able to shot you and get away with it.....................other wise.........they work, eat, sleep and shit just like you, once we start getting to them first before they get to us they will learn.....and that's what they are scare off and why they are becoming more militarise by getting bigger and more powerfull weapons to defende themselves with and to be able to impose the NEW laws.

What to do? like Churchill said "Walk softly and carry a big stick" and act only when you can act.......the underground tactics of WWII were very good tactics that were use against the German........learn and do, when the time is right, a bigger weapon does not mean a better weapon.

“We’ve reached the point where state actors can penetrate rectums and vaginas, where judges can order forced catheterizations, and where police and medical personnel can perform scans, enemas and colonoscopies without the suspect’s consent.... These tactics are ... about degrading and humiliating a class of people that politicians and law enforcement have deemed the enemy. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2017/04/14/forced-catheterizations-are-a-good-reminder-that-the-drug-war-is-as-barbaric-and-cruel-as-ever/)”—Radley Balko, The Washington Post



Daily, all across America, individuals who dare to resist—or even question—a police order are being subjected to all sorts of government-sanctioned abuse ranging from forced catheterization, forced blood draws, roadside strip searches and cavity searches, and other foul and debasing acts that degrade their bodily integrity and leave them bloodied (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/man-claiming-doctor-bloodied-dragged-united-airlines-article-1.3038898) and bruised.

Americans as young as 4 years old are being leg shackled (http://wvtf.org/post/child-handcuffed-and-school-policies-questioned), handcuffed (http://nypost.com/2013/01/30/cops-handcuff-and-interrogate-boy-7-for-hours-over-missing-5-family/), tasered (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/indiana-cops-taser-10-year-old-day-care-article-1.168155#ixzz31hBbcxYm)and held at gun point (http://www.wftv.com/news/news/local/groveland-officers-accused-using-excessive-force-1/nj2Cp/) for not being quiet, not being orderly and just being childlike—i.e., not being compliant enough.

Government social workers actually subjected a 3-year-old boy to a forced catheterization (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/crime/2017/04/07/hooded-handcuffed-and-violated-south-dakotas-use-forced-catheterization/100000158/) after he was unable to provide them with a urine sample on demand (the boy still wasn’t potty trained). The boy was held down, screaming in pain (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/crime/2017/04/07/hooded-handcuffed-and-violated-south-dakotas-use-forced-catheterization/100000158/), while nurses forcibly inserted a tube into his penis to drain his bladder—all of this done because the boy’s mother’s boyfriend had failed a urine analysis for drugs.

Americans as old as 95 are being beaten, shot and killed for questioning an order, hesitating in the face of a directive (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/kass/ct-john-wrana-textbook-police-force-case-kass-0111-20150111-column.html), and mistaking a policeman crashing through their door for a criminal (http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/02/family-asks-cops-to-check-on-74-year-old-vet-after-surgery-and-they-break-in-and-kill-him/#.VNkOpmi9RDM.facebook) breaking into their home—i.e., not being submissive enough.

Consider what happened to David Dao, the United Airlines passenger who was accosted by three police, forcibly wrenched from his seat across the armrest, bloodying his face in the process, and dragged down the aisle by the arms merely for refusing to relinquish his paid seat (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/man-claiming-doctor-bloodied-dragged-united-airlines-article-1.3038898) after the airline chose him randomly to be bumped from the flight—after being checked in and allowed to board—so that airline workers could make a connecting flight.

Those with ADHD, autism, hearing impairments, dementia or some other disability that can hinder communication in the slightest way are in even greater danger of having their actions misconstrued by police. Police shot a 73-year-old-man with dementia seven times (http://www.cnn.com/2016/12/13/us/bakersfield-police-shoot-73-year-old-man/) after he allegedly failed to respond to orders to stop approaching and remove his hands from his jacket. The man was unarmed and had been holding a crucifix.

Clearly, it no longer matters where you live.

Big city or small town: it’s the same scenario being played out over and over again in which government agents, hyped up on their own authority and the power of their uniform, ride roughshod over the citizenry who—in the eyes of the government—are viewed as having no rights.

Our freedoms—especially the Fourth Amendment—continue to be torn asunder by the prevailing view among government bureaucrats that they have the right to search, seize, strip, scan, spy on, probe, pat down, taser, and arrest any individual at any time and for the slightest provocation.

Forced cavity searches, forced colonoscopies, forced blood draws, forced breath-alcohol tests, forced DNA extractions, forced eye scans, and forced inclusion in biometric databases are just a few ways in which Americans continue to be reminded that we have no control over what happens to our bodies during an encounter with government officials.

These incidents—sanctioned by the courts and conveniently overlooked by the legislatures—teach Americans of every age and skin color the painful lesson that there are no limits to what the government can do in its so-called “pursuit” of law and order.

If this is a war, then “we the people” are the enemy.

As Radley Balko notes in The Washington Post, “When you’re at war, it’s important to dehumanize your enemy. And there’s nothing more dehumanizing than forcibly and painfully invading someone’s body — all the better if you can involve the sex organs (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2017/04/14/forced-catheterizations-are-a-good-reminder-that-the-drug-war-is-as-barbaric-and-cruel-as-ever/).”

The message being beaten, shot, tasered, probed and slammed into our collective consciousness is simply this: it doesn’t matter if you’re in the right, it doesn’t matter if a cop is in the wrong, it doesn’t matter if you’re being treated with less than the respect you deserve or the law demands.

The only thing that matters to the American police state is that you comply, submit, respect authority and generally obey without question whatever a government official (anyone who wears a government uniform, be it a police officer, social worker, petty bureaucrat or zoning official) tells you to do.

This is what happens when you allow the government to call the shots: it becomes a bully.

Unfortunately, we’ve been marching in lockstep with the police state for so long that we’ve forgotten how to march to the tune of our own revolutionary drummer. In fact, we’ve even forgotten the words to the tune.
We’ve learned the lessons of compliance too well.

For too long, “we the people” have allowed the government to ride roughshod over the Constitution, equating patriotism with blind obedience to the government’s dictates, no matter how unconstitutional or immoral those actions might be.

What can you do?

It’s simple but as I detail in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People (http://www.amazon.com/Battlefield-America-War-American-People/dp/1590793099), the consequences may be deadly.

Stop being so obedient. Stop being so compliant and herdlike. Stop kowtowing to anyone and everyone in uniform. Stop perpetuating the false notion that those who work for the government—the president, Congress, the courts, the military, the police—are in any way superior to the rest of the citizenry. Stop playing politics with your principles. Stop making excuses for the government’s growing list of human rights abuses and crimes. Stop turning a blind eye to the government’s corruption and wrongdoing and theft and murder. Stop tolerating ineptitude and incompetence by government workers. Stop allowing the government to treat you like a second-class citizen. Stop censoring what you say and do for fear that you might be labeled an extremist or worse, unpatriotic. Stop sitting silently on the sidelines while the police state kills, plunders and maims your fellow citizens.

Stop being a slave.

As anti-war activist Rosa Luxemburg concluded, “Those who do not move, do not notice their chains.”

Get ready to stand your ground or run for your life, because the American police state is coming to get you.

Conspiracy, the PERSECUTORS' Darling, "originally protected the citizen from malicious prosecution, where the courtroom was used as a tool to indict and punish political enemies of those who were in positions of political power."


Conspiracy, The Prosecutor’s Darling (https://redoubtnews.com/2017/04/conspiracy-prosecutors-darling/)


PROSECUTORS WERE TO REPRESENT BOTH THE GOVERNMENT AND THE DEFENDANT EQUALLY, IN THE QUEST FOR THE TRUTH.

April 21, 2017 (https://redoubtnews.com/2017/04/) Constitution (https://redoubtnews.com/category/constitution/), US (https://redoubtnews.com/category/us/)

CONSPIRACY, THE PROSECUTOR’S DARLING

by Loren Edward Pearce (https://redoubtnews.com/?s=Loren+Edward+Pearce)

In a recent Facebook post, a meme stated, “You better start caring about the trial going on Nevada right now. Your rights depend on the outcome.”

https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/meme1-300x210.png

For many of us, the process of watching the wheels of injustice turn in the courtroom has also turned our stomachs
as we witness first hand our awful situation. Like draining the swamp, we have left our comfortable easy chairs, our EAR (entertainment, amusement and recreation) lifestyle, to watch as federal judges and prosecutors expose their corruption, their twisted logic and most of all, their departure from the original intent of the framers of the constitution. Like the ignorant homeowner distracted by other pursuits in life, we worked and played while the termites quietly destroyed the foundation of our home. Little did we know how bad things were until we observed the trials going on in Oregon and in Nevada.

Among the many injustices and unconstitutional shenanigans that have been exposed by our newfound interest in the so called justice system, is the subject of criminal conspiracy (https://redoubtnews.com/2017/03/cox-america-know-bunkerville-trial/).

Conspiracy, coined the prosecutor’s “darling,”, is one of the most commonly charged federal crimes. The charge of conspiracy is a prosecutor’s darling because of the great advantage it gives to prosecutors, and the government, and the great disadvantage it gives to the accused, the defendant. Keep in mind that, one of the intents of the founders was for prosecutors to be neutral, unbiased pursuers of truth and justice, not convictions. Prosecutors, paid for by the people, were to represent both the government and the defendant equally, in the quest for the truth. Today, nothing could be further from the truth as the government prosecutors are interested only in convictions and protection of their employer, the government.

The offense of conspiracy has great breadth, and prosecutors have applied it to a variety of situations. Commentators have noted that “it is clear that a conspiracy charge gives the prosecution certain unique advantages and that one who must defend against such a charge bears a particularly heavy burden.”

The Supreme Court has described the gravity of the conspiracy offense: “For two or more to confederate and combine together to commit or cause to be committed a breach of the criminal laws, is an offense of the gravest character, sometimes quite outweighing, in injury to the public, the mere commission of the contemplated crime. It involves deliberate plotting to subvert the laws, educating and preparing the conspirators for further and habitual criminal practices. And it is characterized by secrecy (https://redoubtnews.com/2017/03/bunkerville-defendant-fbi-informant/), rendering it difficult of detection, requiring more time for its discovery, and adding to the importance of punishing it when discovered.”

Conspiracy, a crime special to common law jurisdictions and largely unknown, except in modest forms, in continental European countries, is one of the most controversial of all substantive crimes. It affords great advantages to law enforcement, since it avoids multiple trials, permits prosecution of preparatory activity at an early stage, facilitates prosecution against organized criminality, and extends a number of evidentiary and procedural advantages to the prosecution.

At the same time, it constitutes what Justice Jackson in Krulewitch termed an “elastic, sprawling and pervasive offense” that departs from traditional requirements of liability: (1) the crime of conspiracy is vaguely defined and its contours are often unpredictable; (2) it permits conviction on acts largely mental in character; (3) its essential feature, an agreement, is often diluted to something approaching suspicion of agreement; and (4) it affords a highly tenuous basis for holding the defendant for substantive crimes committed by others. Moreover, the procedural advantages to the prosecution impose corresponding disadvantages on the defendant, disadvantages thought inappropriate and unfair when other crimes are charged.

THE FLIP FLOP HISTORY OF CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY
According to Edward Coke (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Coke), conspiracy was originally a statutory remedy against false accusation and prosecution by “a consultation and agreement between two or more to appeal or indict an innocent man falsely and maliciously of felony, whom they cause to be indicted and appealed; and afterward the party is lawfully acquitted”.Conspiracy, 1 Encyclopedia of Crime and Justice 241-2 (2d ed. 2002); James Burke, Sandord Kadish,Dan M. Kahan]

Conspiracy laws originally protected the citizen from malicious prosecution, where the courtroom was used as a tool to indict and punish political enemies of those who were in positions of political power. The conspirators and co-conspirators were the government who wrongly used the grand jury system to indict, harass and punish those who would dare oppose them.

https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/meme2-150x150.jpg

Like a home invader who has been confronted by a homeowner with a gun in self defense, the government has seized the gun from the homeowner’s hand and turned that gun against the gun owner. The term “conspiracy” has been hijacked from its original purpose in protecting the citizen from government and prosecutorial abuses to one where the prosecution uses it against citizens who seek to assert their constitutional rights.

The real conspiracy exists in the vast undertaking by unscrupulous and corrupt individuals who have built an empire out of government. Vast bureaucracies and federal agencies which have a life of their own, and like any organism, a bottomless desire for self preservation and self engrandizement. Conspiring to write and enact laws that give them leverage over any citizen who would challenge them, they conspire within their common interest, to defend and uphold their employer, the federal government, by declaring any individual who opposes them as “co-conspirators” immediately shutting down dissent and civil disobedience as the final recourse.

Ryan Bundy recently called our attention to how one-sided the Bill of Rights were. One sided and exclusively in favor of the citizen and the accused. The framers of the Bill of Rights knew from their own experience how dangerous centralized, federal government was and therefore made the Bill of Rights one sided because to do otherwise, would give the centralized government and empire builders, a toe hold to abuse their centralized, government power.

https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/bor-180x300.jpg (https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/bor.jpg)

For example, the federal courts, to justify trying co-conspirators together rather than severing into separate trials, referred to “judicial economy” as the excuse. Judicial economy meaning that they didn’t want to bother with the time and expense of separate trials, therefore, they would be tried together. However, the right to a separate trial assures fairness and justice so that the the guilt of one conspirator is not automatically transferred to another defendant. Likewise, hearsay evidence from unknown co-conspirators is admittable by the court under the guise of judicial economy.

Judicial economy is not mentioned in the Bill of Rights. Nor is complex case nor is there anything to do with the convenience of the plaintiff, the government. The Bill of Rights are a reminder to the government that it is a one-sided system, the protection of the accused, the protection of the citizen.

As we have noted in other articles, the federal courts have a high conviction rate, over 95%. Is that due the overwhelming guilt of every defendant? Is it due to the extreme competence of the prosecutors? Or is it due to the tools that the federal team (judge, prosecutors, marshals) have given themselves, such as the tool of conspiracy charges?

Yes, we better pay attention to what is happening in the Nevada courtroom and then work to change it, lest the conspiring termites continue to eat away at the Bill of Rights and our constitutional foundations, and we, the average citizen, be prosecuted as co-conspirators with the system rigged against us.

Americans lost their rights because they allowed black-robed prostitutes claiming to be "judges" to determine what their rights are.

[woodman]

Americans lost their rights because they allowed black-robed prostitutes claiming to be "judges" to determine what their rights are.

I think what we are up against is an organized gang, actually a number of them, that are loosely and not so loosely affiliated. They are all operating under the auspices of the banking cartel that must have war as a necessessity of it's existence. I think we all know this, I am just trying to package it with words. These various criminal entities are all the children of the Banking Cartel. This is the most apt way to view it in my opinion.

So this family of criminal organizations must have war as a means of survival. Nothing else will work for them. It is a sick confidence game where they instill a fear, hatred, anxiety, call it what you will, some type of negative feeling into enough of the populace to convince society as a whole to go along with their war machine. Call it a war on drugs, a war on extremism, terrorism, call it what you will. In any case, with a mandate to fight a war from the voters, this machine can then run roughshod under the disguise of virtue. It does not matter that they are actually thugs who are murdering, maiming, enslaving, stealing. No. Because they are operating under the auspices of protecting the innocent when in reality they are doing the exact opposite but people at large cannot make this connection.

It has always been this way from the most primitive societies on up into modern society. There have always been those who learned to profit by whispering lies into the ears of those who they knew they could manipulate. Gullibility plays a large part in this confidence game. Populations of humans are indeed like herd animals and there can be no doubt that we are being farmed just like any livestock.

Democracy is as good a vehicle as any for these organizations to run their games on the populace. They convince the voters that there is a war to be fought and with this war comes the predations that we see. They have their judges in black robes, like some type of priesthood who are managing the sacred task of liberating us from our liberty. The Justice System is a system of injustice. Everything in this War World is topsy turvy. Up is down and black is white. Everything, even those things you thought were beyond being perverted has been perverted in the name of profit. Giving the women the vote was an integral part of the plan for the slave masters, the elite criminals who are taking more of our freedoms every day. Who can deny that giving women a political voice, the right to vote, has created more of a monster than what we had before. The twentieth century proved to be the most brutal, bloodiest, cruelest that has ever been seen. The twenty first will surely prove worse. I am not picking on women here. I am just pointing out how they and we have been manipulated. The instinct of women to act out in order to achieve justice, out of their caring and nurturing side, has been twisted into a force of great monstrosity.

I guess what I am getting toward here is that what we see is a consequence of the public voting to protect either themselves or those they feel they need to protect who maybe aren't able to protect themselves. It gets twisted by the War Machine into the exact opposite of what is intended. This is why I believe voting is an act of violence. You are enabling a system that is beyond any decency, you are giving it a mandate to do what it does. What it does is live off of human misery.

First (and last) there is no such thing as 'America'. Given no America doesn't it follow there are no AMERICANS?

Legal fictions must register. I know I was required to register when I operated a fictitious business name. It is called a DBA (or Doing Business As). Operating as though something exists when it clearly does not is not a sign of rational behavior.

I use the natural language of the population of what is commonly called the United States of America. "America" has been the accepted term since before the founding of the United States, and, despite the occult hidden meaning, there is no reason to dispense with it at this time.

I don't subscribe to the Cult of the Bar's "special" language and their Jew-Jitsu of making plain meaning mean something else.

The right to name something is having power over that something. That's been true since Adam named the animals of the Garden. The American people (whether you prefer a shyster machination for their name is irrelevant) have chosen to give "judges" the power to name their rights, and, in so doing, have given them great power over them. For example, the first time a "judge" said the Second Amendment means "Shall not be infringed except," he should have been strung up or shot dead. They failed to do that. And now "judges" "interpret" what we are "allowed" to do.

Another opinion piece from constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead ~ IRON JAWS OF THE POLICE STATE: Trumps America is a Constitution Free Zone


Please.
Somebody give Attorney General Jeff Sessions a copy of the Constitution.

And while you’re at it, get a copy to President Trump, too.

In fact, you might want to share a copy with the nation’s police officers, as well.

I have my doubts that any of these individuals—all of whom swore to uphold and defend the Constitution—have ever read any of the nation’s founding documents.

“Policing is broken... It has evolved as a paramilitary, bureaucratic, organizational arrangement that distances police officers from the communities they’ve been sworn to protect and serve. When we have shooting after shooting after shooting that most people would define as at least questionable, it’s time to look, not just at a few bad apples, but the barrel. And I’m convinced that it is the barrel that is rotted.”— Norm Stamper, former Seattle police chief




Please.

Somebody give Attorney General Jeff Sessions a copy of the Constitution.



And while you’re at it, get a copy to President Trump, too.



In fact, you might want to share a copy with the nation’s police officers, as well.



I have my doubts that any of these individuals—all of whom swore to uphold and defend the Constitution—have ever read any of the nation’s founding documents.



Had they actually read and understood the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights, there would be no militarized police, no mass surveillance, no police shootings of unarmed individuals, no SWAT team raids, no tasering of children, no asset forfeiture schemes or any of the other government-sanctioned abuses that get passed off as law and order these days.



We’ve got serious problems in this country, and they won’t be solved on the golf course, by wining and dining corporate CEOs, giving local police forces more military equipment, locking down the nation, or pretending that the only threats to our freedoms are posed by forces beyond our borders or by “anti-government” extremists hiding among us.



So far, Trump’s first 100 days in office have been no different from Obama’s last 100 days (http://www.npr.org/2017/04/24/520159167/trumps-100-day-action-plan-annotated), at least when it comes to the government’s ongoing war on our freedoms.



Government corruption remains at an all-time high.



Police shootings and misconduct have continued unabated.



The nation’s endless wars continue to push us to the brink of financial ruin.



And “we the people” are still being treated as if we have no rights, are entitled to no protections, and exist solely for the purpose of sustaining the American police state with our hard-earned tax dollars.



Just take the policing crisis in this country, for instance.



Sessions—the chief lawyer for the government and the head of the Justice Department, which is entrusted with ensuring that the nation’s laws are faithfully carried out and holding government officials accountable to abiding by their oaths of office to “uphold and defend the Constitution”—doesn’t think we’ve got a policing problem (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/03/us/justice-department-jeff-sessions-baltimore-police.html) in America.



In fact, Sessions thinks the police are doing a great job (apart from “the individual misdeeds of bad actors (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/03/us/justice-department-jeff-sessions-baltimore-police.html),” that is).



For that matter, so does Trump.



Really, really great.



Indeed, Sessions thinks the nation’s police forces are doing such a great job that they should be rewarded with moremilitary toys (http://inthesetimes.com/article/19976/trump-GOP-police-militarization) (weapons, gear, equipment) and less oversight (http://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/jeff-sessions-war-good-policing) by the Justice Department.



As for Trump, he believes “the dangerous anti-police atmosphere in America is wrong (http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/crime/319889-is-trump-protecting-us-police-from-harm-or-oversight)” and has vowed to “end it.”

Excuse me for a moment while I flush what remains of the Constitution down the toilet.



Clearly, Trump has not been briefed on the fact that it has never been safer to be a cop in America. According to Newsweek, “it’s safer to be a cop than it is to simply live in many U.S. cities (http://www.newsweek.com/it-has-never-been-safer-be-cop-372025)... It’s safer to be a cop than it is to live in Baltimore. It’s safer to be a cop than it is to be a fisher, logger, pilot, roofer, miner, trucker or taxi driver. It’s safer to be a cop today than it’s been in years, decades, or even a century, by some measures (http://aei.org/publication/is-there-really-a-war-on-cops-the-data-show-that-2015-will-likely-be-one-of-the-safest-years-in-history-for-police/).”



You know what’s dangerous?



Being a citizen of the American police state.



Treating cops as deserving of greater protections than their fellow citizens.



And training cops to think and act like they’re soldiers on a battlefield.



As journalist Daniel Bier warns (http://www.newsweek.com/it-has-never-been-safer-be-cop-372025), “If you tell cops over and over that they’re in a war, they’re under siege, they’re under attack, and that citizens are the enemy—instead of the people they’re supposed to protect—you’re going to create an atmosphere of fear, tension, and hostility that can only end badly, as it has for so many people (http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/29/us/ohio-sam-dubose-tensing-indictment/).”



Frankly, if there’s a war taking place in this country, it’s a war on the American people.



After all, we’re the ones being shot at and tasered and tracked and beaten and intimidated and threatened and invaded and probed.



And what is the government doing to fix this policing crisis (http://www.npr.org/2016/07/10/485460453/former-police-chief-has-a-plan-for-how-to-fix-americas-police) that threatens the safety of every man, woman and child in this country?



Not a damn thing.



Incredibly, according to a study by the American Medical Association, police-inflicted injuries send more than 50,000 Americans to hospital emergency rooms every year (http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamasurgery/article-abstract/2619243).



Yet as Slate warns (http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2015/05/the_myth_of_the_hero_cop_police_unions_have_spread _a_dangerous_message_about.html), if you even dare to criticize a police officer let alone challenge the myth of the hero cop—a myth “used to legitimize brutality as necessary, justify policies that favor the police, and punish anyone who dares to question police tactics or oppose the unions’ agendas”— you will be roundly denounced “as disloyal, un-American, and dangerous (http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2015/05/the_myth_of_the_hero_cop_police_unions_have_spread _a_dangerous_message_about.html).”



As reporter David Feige concludes, “We should appreciate the value and sacrifice of those who choose to serve and protect. But that appreciation should not constitute a get-out-of-jail-free card for the vast army of 800,000 people granted general arrest powers (http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2015/05/the_myth_of_the_hero_cop_police_unions_have_spread _a_dangerous_message_about.html) and increasingly armed with automatic weapons and armored vehicles.”



Vast army.

Equipped with deadly weapons.



Empowered with arrest powers.



Immune from accountability for wrongdoing.



What is this, Hitler’s America?



Have we strayed so far from our revolutionary roots that we no longer even recognize tyranny when it’s staring us in the face?



The fact that police are choosing to fatally resolve encounters with their fellow citizens by using their guns speaks volumes about what is wrong with policing in America today, where police officers are being dressed in the trappings of war, drilled in the deadly art of combat, and trained to look upon “every individual they interact with as an armed threat and every situation as a deadly force encounter in the making (http://harvardlawreview.org/2015/04/law-enforcements-warrior-problem/).”



Mind you, the federal government is the one responsible for turning our police into extensions of the military, having previously distributed billions of dollars’ worth of military equipment to local police agencies, including high-powered weapons, assault vehicles, drones, tactical gear, body armor, weapon scopes, infrared imaging systems and night-vision goggles—equipment intended for use on the battlefield—not to mention federal grants for militarized training and SWAT teams.



Thus, despite what Attorney General Sessions wants you to believe, the daily shootings, beatings and roadside strip searches (in some cases, rape) of American citizens by police are not isolated incidents.



Likewise, the events of recent years are not random occurrences: the invasive surveillance, the extremism reports, the civil unrest, the protests, the shootings, the bombings, the military exercises and active shooter drills, the color-coded alerts and threat assessments, the fusion centers, the transformation of local police into extensions of the military, the distribution of military equipment and weapons to local police forces, the government databases containing the names of dissidents and potential troublemakers.



Rather, these developments are all part of a concerted effort to destabilize the country, institute de facto martial law disguised as law and order, and shift us fully into the iron jaws of the police state.



So, no, the dramatic increase in police shootings are not accidents.



It wasn’t an “accident” that 26-year-old Andrew Lee Scott (http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/03/17/appeals_court_rules_officer_who_killed_man_in_his_ own_home_cannot_be_sued.html), who had committed no crime, was gunned down by police who knocked aggressively on the wrong door at 1:30 am, failed to identify themselves as police, and then repeatedly shot and killed Scott when he answered the door while holding a gun in self-defense. Police were investigating a speeding incident by engaging in a middle-of-the-night “knock and talk” in Scott’s apartment complex.



It wasn’t an “accident” when Levar Edward Jones (http://myfox8.com/2014/09/25/dash-cam-captures-sc-trooper-shooting-unarmed-man-during-traffic-dtop/) was shot by a South Carolina police officer during a routine traffic stop over a seatbelt violation as he was in the process of reaching for his license and registration. The trooper justified his shooting of the unarmed man by insisting that Jones reached for his license “aggressively.”

It wasn’t an “accident” when Francisco Serna (https://www.theatlantic.com/news/archive/2016/12/francisco-serna-police-shooting/510701/), a 73-year-old grandfather with early-stage dementia, was shot and killed by police for refusing to remove his hand from his pocket. Police were investigating an uncorroborated report that Serna had a gun, but it turned out he was holding a crucifix and made no aggressive movements before he was gunned down.



It wasn’t an “accident” when Nandi Cain, Jr. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2017/04/12/video-shows-an-officer-slamming-then-pummeling-a-black-man-accused-of-jaywalking/), was thrown to the ground, choked and punched over a dozen times by a police officer after the officer stopped Cain for jaywalking. Cain made no aggressive moves toward the officer, and had even removed his jacket to show the officer he had no weapon.



It wasn’t an “accident” when 65-year-old Thomas Smith (http://photographyisnotacrime.com/2017/04/12/wisconsin-swat-team-attacks-65-year-old-man-parkinsons-disease-called-help/), suffering from Parkinson’s Disease, called 911 because of a medical problem only to have his home raided by a SWAT team. Smith was thrown to the ground and placed in handcuffs because his condition prevented him from following police instructions.



It wasn’t an “accident” when John Wrana (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/kass/ct-john-wrana-textbook-police-force-case-kass-0111-20150111-column.html), a 95-year-old World War II veteran, died after being shot multiple times by a police officer with a Mossberg shotgun during a raid at Wrana’s room at an assisted living center. This, despite the fact that there were five police officers on the scene to subdue Wrana, who used a walker to get around and was “armed” with a shoehorn and not a knife, as police assumed.



It wasn’t an “accident” when a 10-year-old boy (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/indiana-cops-taser-10-year-old-day-care-article-1.168155) was subdued by two police officers using a taser because the child became unruly at the day care center he attended.



It wasn’t an “accident” when police in South Dakota routinely subjected persons, some as young as 3 years old (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/crime/2017/04/07/hooded-handcuffed-and-violated-south-dakotas-use-forced-catheterization/100000158/), to catheterizations in order to forcibly obtain urine samples.



It wasn’t an “accident” when Charles Kinsey (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2017/04/12/florida-police-officer-charged-for-shooting-unarmed-man-who-had-arms-raised/), a behavioral therapist, was shot by police as he was trying to help an autistic patient who had wandered away from his group home and was sitting in the middle of the road playing with a toy car. The officer who shot Kinsey was reportedly told that neither Kinsey nor the patient had a weapon.

It wasn’t an “accident” when Frank Arnal Baker (http://www.twincities.com/2017/03/27/st-paul-man-kicked-by-cop-bitten-by-k-9-settles-with-city-for-2m) was mauled by a police dog and kicked by an officer for not complying quickly enough with a police order. Baker, who had done nothing wrong, spent two weeks in the hospital with fractured ribs and collapsed lungs and needed skin grafts for the dog-bite injuries.



No, none of these incidents were accidents.



Nor are they isolated, anecdotal examples of a few bad actors, as Sessions insists.



Far from being isolated or anecdotal, police misconduct cases have become so prevalent (https://www.justice.gov/crt/file/883371/download) as to jeopardize the integrity of all of the nation’s law enforcement agencies.



Unfortunately, as I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People (http://www.amazon.com/Battlefield-America-War-American-People/dp/1590793099), this is what happens when you allow so-called “law and order” to matter more than justice: corruption flourishes, injustice reigns and tyranny takes hold.



Yet no matter what Trump and Session seem to believe, nowhere in the Constitution does it say that Americans must obey the government.



Despite the corruption of Congress and the complicity of the courts, nowhere does the Constitution require absolute subservience to the government’s dictates.



And despite what most police officers seem to believe, nowhere does the Constitution state that Americans must comply with a police order.



To suggest otherwise is authoritarianism.



This is also, as abolitionist Frederick Douglass noted, the definition of slavery: “I didn’t know I was a slave until I found out I couldn’t do the things I wanted.”



You want to know what it means to be a slave in the American police state?



It means being obedient, compliant and Sieg Heil!-ing every government agent armed with a weapon. If you believe otherwise, try standing up for your rights, being vocal about your freedoms, or just challenging a government dictate, and see how long you last before you’re staring down the barrel of a loaded government-issued gun.

"America" has been the accepted term since before the founding of the United States, and, despite the occult hidden meaning, there is no reason to dispense with it at this time.
"The United States of America" was the style established by the Articles of Confederation.

The U.S. constitution has no established style.

Misnomer is the order of the entire U.S. history. The federalist papers were nationalist in nature. The federalist name was taken so the opponents had to settle for the name 'anti-federalist' even though their arguments were all for a federalist style government. Because they were so named 'anti-federalists' they were largely viewed as being against the very thing they were for. Out of chaos and confusion a chaotic and confused government emerged along with a chaotic and confused electorate. So maybe things do work out. We tend to attract things of our own nature. James Allen called this "the law of our being".

It does absolutely no good to lash out at things we have created. If you want to change your creation look inward and change your law. But this will never change the law of anybody else. Best case scenario ... point out the error of their ways and send 'em a bill for services rendered.

#2) confront an aggressive "visitor," whoever they are, only with effective defense measures (e.g., https://www.midwayusa.com/product/812998/federal-lake-city-ammunition-556x45mm-nato-62-grain-xm855-ss109-penetrator-full-metal-jacket-ammo-can-of-900-36-boxes-of-25).

That said, an important video all should watch.

All Americans should adopt the Absolute Castle Doctrine: no unauthorized entry, no matter what ("warrants" are meaningless documents issued by a black-robed pervert based on perjured "testimony").

All faggots who say "you can't refuse to open the door to the police with a warrant / use guns against the police, because you'll go to jail or die": spare me the cowardly bullshit. I don't care. Our ancestors fought and died for real freedom, sometimes freedoms much less sacred than the protection of one's home. Yes, we know you are too "important" to die for real freedom; you have more important things to do, like watching the latest smut on the Talmudvision, swilling your favorite corporate drink, and generally obeying the regime, though you may pretend to "resist."



This needs to be repeated over and over...


“At what exact point, then, should one resist? When one’s belt is taken away? When one is ordered to face into a corner? When one crosses the threshold of one’s home?...”

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?...The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst; the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!”

"The jurisdiction of executive and judicial officers is co-extensive with the legislative powers of Congress (Chisholm v Georgia, 2 U.S. 419, 435, (1793), Osborn v. Bank of United States, 9 Wheat., 738, 808 (1824)): If judicial officers do not have jurisdiction in a particular geographic area, such as the Union, the same is true for executive officers—and no United States attorney has presented evidence of constitutional authority despite being challenged for the same in every one of the nine cases in which Petitioner has been involved." John Parks Trowbridge Jr.

As Dr. Trowbridge points out the federal government's legislative, judicial and police power are limited by the Constitution to the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the territories and insular possessions.

The United States of America has been a full fledged police state since President Bill Clinton put more police on the streets and began arming them with military style equipment and vehicles to make American streets and cities safer.

We, the citizens of the United States of America have the power to stop them if we stand together. Will we do that?
We are past the tipping point.

This article confirms what I have been saying for about a year. Congress, the DOJ, and the Judiciary are an Axis of Tyranny who, intentionally or not, do not act to secure the blessings of liberty in accordance with why Government is even instituted among man.

Let me piss off conservatives first.

Wake up people. This administration in DC is too distracted with the enormity of the Federal Government to be able to pause, do the right thing, and reign this problem in. DC is full of career political elitists that exists to preserve their own way of life. Not all of them, but most of them. Donald Trump is not going to do mid-term pardons for anyone. His brash character (that's not a criticism) keeps him wading in enough controversy to keep him plenty busy.

Jeff Sessions just told me everything I need to know about him. He believes that US Attorney's have an obligation to relentlessly pursue criminal charges against "the vast majority of suspects". This isn't intended to be a policy that moves toward balancing correction with incarceration for serious crimes. It is damn near borderline fascism that paves a road to a police state.

Think that's harsh? Ask Joe Robertson in Montana what happens...

WHEN YOU BUILD A POND ON YOUR PRIVATE PROPERTY TO HEDGE AGAINST FIRE AND WATER HORSES... know where that guy is? FEDERAL PRISON. Oh, and he's 80 years old. And a veteran of the US Navy.

Gov't says he polluted downstream waters. I didn't see anyone go to jail over that toxin spill in Colorado a few years ago, did you?

Both sides of the aisle are the problem. Only a revolution will drain the swamp at this point. Since the Gov't loves to twist what you say in an indictment: I'll clarify that revolution is not a singular avenue to change that exclusively involves violence. Revolution begins in the hearts and minds of people. There are many ways to revolt. I will do it at the ballot box. I will do it with my voice... on the street, in public, online, and in my personal conversations. I am content to resist within the rule of law and vigorously champion natural rights and the pursuit of liberty.

My left leaning friends, your turn.

Sessions essentially props up the argument of the Gov't in the first Bundy Ranch trial, that essentially a Federal Agent can act with near impunity so long as no one dies and they are acting "within the scope of their duties". I guess that applies to the asshole who took the safety off of his .308 and started taking tension out of the trigger, acting with the intent to kill Eric J. Parker, because he erroneously perceived that Parker had pointed a weapon from the bridge he was standing on. That narrative crashed and burned in cross examination, when not a shred of video evidence showed what that agent claimed to have perceived. No worries though, he was acting within the scope of his employment.

Gloria Navarro (Chief "Judge", District of NV) proffers a policy that defines assault as occurring a law enforcement official feeling threatened by an otherwise lawfully carried firearm in plain sight. I don't even need to address that, the abject absurdity of the idea shines through any need of explanation.

Freedom is an illusion for those who either can't or choose not to see the cage that the Gov't has erected around us. I know people sitting in jail, right now, who have been convicted of no crimes, and have been there since 03 March 2016. Let me give you the 10K foot overview: citizens show up to protest, the Gov't threatens to kill them, almost 2 dozen go to jail. I know, you've seen the viral pics of a man laying prone on a bridge, and you think "that's out of control". OK... they reasonably feared for grave bodily injury or death and postured to defend women and children holding signs. I don't see how that can be criminalized given the circumstances, but that's just me.

Riddle me this, lover of the Gov't... Todd Engel took a picture of people pointing weapons at him, briefly crouched down behind a jersey barrier on a bridge, then ran over to two NHP troopers to tell them what he could see. He stayed there for over an hour. Pending appeal, he is guilty of interstate travel in aid of extortion and obstruction of the due administration of justice.

Then there's Ricky. He drove over to the protest with several hundred other people... stood on a bridge with his damned arms crossed for two hours, barely moved. But... because he is in a three-man militia and sent an e-mail, he is looking at life in prison. Luckily, people like Jeff Session advocate taking this very dangerous criminal off the streets.

How about Micah? This guy traveled from Arizona, attended a rally, and then observed the protest by sitting on his ass with knees tucked into his chest on a steep-slope bridge skirt. He's accused of taking an elevated, tactical position for the purpose of threatening Federal Officers. He sat and watched. But, he was there in camouflage... so send him to jail.

Joe... I've seen pictures of him at the protest with his damn hands straight up in the air. Nothing violent there. Oh, he did communicate by e-mail with some people about the incident, but lock his ass up.
Steve... salt of the earth guy who loves his family and friends. Crouched down behind a jersey barrier on a bridge after someone pointed out that there were snipers glassing protesters. He was armed to the teeth, ready to strike, right? Nope. His lawfully possessed weapon lay leaned against a jersey barrier while he looked at his potential murders through binoculars. Lock his ass up!

Dave... wandered into a "closure area" to see if his dad's cattle were being mistreated. A sniper and spotter observed from a hill, and the federal agency (who had no arrest power), beat him and detained him for as long as they legally could; he just wanted to keep the Gov't accountable to the public. Lock his ass up! Forever!

Ryan... got a phone call from BLM Agent Mike Johnson, who basically said, "we are here to round up all of your families cows and put you out of business, that's cool, right?". Ryan's (arguably natural) response? "Good luck boys, but I'd suggest you just go home". Lock his ass up! Destroy the key.

Pete... Journalist. traveled from OH to NV to cover a breaking story. Part of his brand is an unapologetic assertiveness that digs for the part of a story that isn't readily apparent. His video covered BLM Agents outright abusing protesters. He suggested that Americans who wanted to could come to Nevada to protest. We can't have that shit, now can we? Put him in hole and forget about him.

All of these men face life in prison. Six have gone to trial. the corrupt, amoral, social degenerate that was instrumental in securing an indictment shockingly didn't testify when his actions caught up to him and he became a liability for the Gov't... so much for the right to face your accuser. If you do nothing else, google "Dan Love". Here... I'll do it for you. Just follow this link: ( https://goo.gl/i7ilJJ (https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgoo.gl%2Fi7ilJJ&h=ATM4h4oyYMyV-H4WF1pBOm6kPh250zOdoAbJN3I8YnluZBr67b9_aiyIYE38u3e 3sqRIva0zrXkc-MjWf7HtunTZFb_2OLdh-gW6NljNGB5QgexgwFZP3QTdOJK6HjfmtVuD&enc=AZOeBU5BbSt1Ch7eKgAIoKT-EM7CrYpC1z_b9ZMfWgK-NuhRQlioiqkSTjo5LX54fiEs5vLjmxrOX0WH9SrE8XCrxFFPj_ ZmVU6QcW9K9zF4L1Ijbxof7Xm7u9qPSffx_CNL86EJhxsIkEwk 2Jpfl4LCbTpGkLByHSC-O48qMMsp5d1sQHKjRuG_TMg6spbzvcI&s=1) )

^^^ This ^^^ is what happens when the DOJ aggressively pursues the most serious possible charges. The Judiciary colludes and Congressional statutes are wielded in such a way as to evince an underlying element of brutality. The "Department of Justice" is a misnomer of gargantuan proportions, second only to that stretch of I-78 west of Phila being called the Schuylkill "Expressway".

Democrat or Republican, the problem is still the same; one just gets us to the inevitable long-term outcome of a police state quicker than the other.

We stand together or we'll hang separately.
- I stand with the Bundys.
- I stand with Pete Santilli.
- I stand with my brothers from Idaho. I'll never stop fighting for them.
- I stand with Micah McGuire.
- I stand with Jason Patrick.
- I stand with Joe Robertson.
- I stand with most of these defendants.

... and I stand FOR LaVoy. I'd stand WITH him but OSP shot him three times in the back after the FBI put two rounds through his truck while his hands were in the air. So there's that...

But hey, jump on the Sessions bandwagon and keep this shit going; to the peril of Liberty.

*****

If you made it this far... we are soon going to roll out an initiative to make sure that these political prisoners have access to basic rights and needs, as much as we are able to. It will take all of us, but with all of all us doing just a little bit, we can make all the difference in the world. We refuse to look at them and say we didn't try. This endeavor will be narrowly focused on directly benefiting inmates, but it will champion other avenues of support.

Right now you can pledge support for people sitting in a cage like Ammon Bundy did for 13 hours.

In a few short weeks a silent auction will help support Andrea Parker's return to Las Vegas, for another trial.
Or, if you can't contribute financially, you could write any of these guys a letter. Letters are the fabric of morale. For the cost of an envelope, sheet of paper, and a stamp... (less than $1.00), you can uplift an inmate and keep them mentally healthy.

Do something.

The Gov't is using your tax dollars, to the tunes of hundreds of millions, to do exactly what Jeff Sessions wants. It's time to show them that we will not allow them to make an example of our own. We need to show the Gov't that this inquest is an exercise in futility.

It will take all of us; but we are capable.

Just do something...

Trick or Treat: One Year Later, Is Trump a Blessing or a Curse to the Deep State?



One thing is for sure: a year into his presidency, Trump hasn’t done much to improve the lot of the American people.

The predators of the police state are still wreaking havoc on our freedoms, our communities, and our lives. The government still doesn’t listen to the citizenry, it still refuses to abide by the Constitution, which is our rule of law, and it still treats the citizenry as a source of funding and little else. Police officers are still shooting unarmed citizens and their household pets. Government agents—including local police—are still being armed to the teeth and encouraged to act like soldiers on a battlefield. Bloated government agencies are still fleecing taxpayers. Government technicians are still spying on our emails and phone calls. Government contractors are still making a killing by waging endless wars abroad.
In other words, the American police state is still alive and well and flourishing.
Nothing has changed.

John Whitehead's Commentary

Suspending the Constitution: Police State Uses Crises to Expand Its Lockdown Powers

13 6 1
By John W. Whitehead
March 24, 2020


https://www.rutherford.org/files_images/general/Commentary_JohnWhitehead_150x150.jpg


“That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn’t even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn’t even an enemy you could put your finger on.”― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

You can always count on the government to take advantage of a crisis, legitimate or manufactured.
This coronavirus pandemic is no exception.
Not only are the federal and state governments unraveling the constitutional fabric of the nation with lockdown mandates that are sending the economy into a tailspin and wreaking havoc with our liberties, but they are also rendering the citizenry fully dependent on the government for financial handouts, medical intervention, protection and sustenance.
Unless we find some way to rein in the government’s power grabs, the fall-out will be epic.
Everything I have warned about for years—government overreach, invasive surveillance, martial law, abuse of powers, militarized police, weaponized technology used to track and control the citizenry, and so on—has coalesced into this present moment.
The government’s shameless exploitation of past national emergencies for its own nefarious purposes pales in comparison to what is presently unfolding.

Yes, I watched this video earlier today.

We need to band together

but many of us see no way but to pray and try to survive.

THEY have managed to take hold of the minds of most people by very sophisticated mind control techniques so as
to divide and conquer. I would not want to band together, for example, with the mind-numbed who just accept this "COVID 19 virus pandemic" false flag event as true and real and seemed to have checked their brains at the door decades ago. So in a sense, they have already conquered and imprisoned the masses and turned them into robots.

I just know that the Left - Right paradigm and the two political parties and all that fake dialectic stuff is really one side. It is Marxism - Communism, the age-old Satanic murderous plan for a One World Death and Slavery System for ALL.

Christ the King is my hope and my salvation.
