“For those who fell in love with the truth and resisted the darkness. Awakening is truly a gift. Once awake, we learn that we have always had the answers right in front of us. We’ve always had more than we know, but we had to regain our sight first before things started falling into place, before things started to make a little more sense.” — Ryan Zehm
Today's bombing at the Boston Marathon comes as no surprise to awake, informed American patriots. Today, Monday, April 15, 2013, is "Patriots Day".
In
Massachusetts, 236 years after the famous “Shot heard ‘round the
world,” residents and visitors celebrate the momentous Battles of
Lexington and Concord. Patriots Day, the state holiday established in
1969 to commemorate the opening battles of the American Revolutionary
War.
Festivities stretch over the entire weekend with parades,
reenactments and commemorative ceremonies in Boston, Lexington, Concord
and surrounding towns.
To any informed American, this day was understandably chosen with specificity.
According
to a new intelligence report from the Southern Poverty Law Center, a
left-leaning nonprofit that monitors groups it deems hateful and
extremist, the number of radical anti-government “Patriot” and militia
groups in the U.S. soared to an all-time high last year.
“We are
seeing a real and rising threat of domestic terrorism as the number of
far-right anti-government groups continues to grow at an astounding
pace,” Mark Potok, a senior fellow at the center and the author of the
report, said in a statement. “It is critically important that the
country take this threat seriously. The potential for deadly violence is
real, and clearly rising.”
The SPLC also sent a letter to
Attorney General Eric Holder and Department of Homeland Security
Secretary Janet Napolitano on March 5, 2013 urging the government to
establish a task force to investigate the supposed domestic terror
threat posed by the likes of Alex Jones, We Are Change, Oath Keepers,
the Constitution Party, the Tyranny Response Team and thousands of other
Americans outside of the orbit of the establishment.
The letter
sent by the president and CEO of the SPLC, J. Richard Cohen, begins by
reminding Holder and Napolitano that the organization “wrote Attorney
General Janet Reno about the growing threat of domestic terrorism” prior
to the Oklahoma City bombing in October, 1994.
“Today, we write
to express similar concerns. In the last four years, we have seen a
tremendous increase in the number of conspiracy-minded, anti-government
groups as well as in the number of domestic terrorist plots.” Today’s
“ominous threats,” Cohen warns, come from citizens concerned about
federal government attacks on the Second Amendment. “Because of the
looming dangers, we urge you to establish an inter-agency task force to
assess the adequacy of the resources devoted to responding to the
growing threat of non-Islamic domestic terrorism.”
The Southern Poverty Law Center “is very adept at creating the specter
that armed groups will overthrow the government or that the continuously
dying supremacy movement is lurking behind every rock,” said Bill Hahn in a
statement to USA Today. “The SPLC will continue to utilize fear to fill
their bank accounts.”
You can view the list of 1,274 groups the SPLC has despicably identified as "anti-government" — including several Tea Party organizations — here. According to the SPLC, "Generally, Patriot groups define themselves as opposed to the “New World
Order,” engage in groundless conspiracy theorizing, or advocate or
adhere to extreme anti-government doctrines. Listing here does not imply
that the groups themselves advocate or engage in violence or other
criminal activities, or are racist."
It considers
returning veterans, Second Amendment advocates, and anti-immigration
activists on par with white supremacists and other ultra-fringe groups
(many that have been reported at length to have been infiltrated by the FBI). The establishment
attack on opposition political activists cannot succeed without this
necessary process of demonization and political ostracism hyped by its
media. Don't forget the April 28, 2012 article by the New York Times, Terrorist Plots, Helped Along by the F.B.I., which exposed the many domestic
terror dramas that were facilitated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, whose undercover agents and informers posed as terrorists
in the plots to admittedly help them along to fruition.
Also worth noting, more recently, the Federal Emergency Management Agency will participate
in Eagle Horizon 2013 on April 18, a National Continuity Program with
the slogan, "Are You Ready?"
"EH 2013 will be a one day,
internally evaluated exercise consisting of tabletop exercises testing
the readiness and capabilities to execute continuity operations and
prepare for EH 2014." Today's bombing sends a clear message: Death to Patriots.
It would appear that the opening battle of the second American
Revolutionary War have begun.
Only
time will tell who the establishment blames this act of domestic terror
on in its "official story." However, we can assuredly assess that based on recent acts of domestic
terror, namely the Newtown, Connecticut shooting, the culprit(s) will be "revealed" very soon, most likely before any thorough investigation can be launched or concluded, or before any credible eyewitnesses can be vetted or any evidence can be gathered and examined.
It will most certainly be falsely blamed on domestic patriot groups, an Oklahoma City bombing redux.
This attack profile is a self-fulfilling prophecy for the elite social engineers, the "military-industrial complex" that Dwight D. Eisenhower warned us about in his January 17, 1961 farewell address, the "secret societies" that make "secret oaths" in "secret proceedings", which John F. Kennedy warned us about in his speech to the American Newspaper Publishers Association on April 27, 1961, the speech which arguably cost him his life.
It will undoubtedly be used to take away more of our individual rights, to assert a stronger death-grip on our domestic liberty in the name of security, and will be used by the collaborator media to generate an ever-growing atmosphere of fear over the general American populace that has grown weary of the current regime's campaign of fear in the never-ending so-called "war on terror".
Never forget that the foreign terror organization, Al Qaeda, which was used to take away your rights after the 9/11 attacks, is currently not even on the radar of homeland security. Then again, perhaps it never really was in the first place. After all, its origins rest firmly in the CIA's program to arm and finance the Afghan mujahideen during the Soviet war in Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989. For more on the origins of promulgated Islamic terror to establish a domestic control grid in the U.S., research Operation Cyclone.
Also, to learn more about how terror plots are engineered as an interpretive method of control to generate a "problem-reaction-solution" scenario which is designed to benefit only the engineer of the crisis, research the Hagelian Dialectic. Stay vigilant and watchful, because anything can happen.
“Fear is the foundation of most governments; but it is so sordid and
brutal a passion, and renders men in whose breasts it predominates so
stupid and miserable, that Americans will not be likely to approve of
any political institution which is founded on it”

THE U.S DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY HAS TOLD BANKS—IN WRITING—IT MAY INSPECT PRIVATE BANK ACCOUNTS AND SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES WITHOUT WARRANT AND SEIZE ANY GOLD,
SILVER, GUNS, DOCUMENTS OR ANYTHING OF VALUE.
NOTE: I personally confirmed this on April 3, 2013 with my cousin, who works in the financial sector in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and with a friend, who has two family members that are bank managers in Florida. — Tim Pope
According
to in-house memos now circulating, the DHS has issued orders to banks
across America which announce to them that "under the Patriot Act" the
DHS has the absolute right to seize, without any warrant whatsoever, any
and all customer bank accounts, to make "periodic and unannounced"
visits to any bank to open and inspect the contents of "selected safe
deposit boxes."
Further, the DHS "shall, at the discretion of the
agent supervising the search, remove, photograph or seize as evidence"
any of the following items "bar gold, gold coins, firearms of any kind
unless manufactured prior to 1878, documents such as passports or
foreign bank account records, pornography or any material that, in the
opinion of the agent, shall be deemed of to be of a contraband nature."
DHS
memos also state that banks are informed that any bank employee, on any
level, that releases "improper" "classified DHS Security information"
to any member of the public, to include the customers whose boxes have
been clandestinely opened and inspected and "any other party, to include
members of the media" and further "that the posting of any such
information on the internet will be grounds for the immediate
termination of the said employee or employees and their prosecution
under the Patriot Act." Safety deposit box holders and depositors are
not given advanced notice when failed banks shut their doors.
If
people have their emergency money in a safe deposit box or an account in
a bank that closes, they will not be allowed into the bank to get it
out. They can knock on the door and beg to get in but the sheriff’s
department or whoever is handling the closure will simply say “no”
because they are just following orders.
Deposit box and account
holders are not warned of the hazards of banking when they sign up. It
is not until they need to get their cash or valuables out in a hurry
that they find themselves in trouble.
Rules governing access to
safe deposit boxes and money held in accounts are written into the
charter of each bank. The charter is the statement of policy under which
the bank is allowed by the government to do business. These rules are
subject to change at any time by faceless bureaucrats who are answerable
to no one. They can be changed without notice, without the agreement of
the people, and against their will. People can complain but no one will
care because this is small potatoes compared to the complaints that
will be voiced when the executive order that governs national
emergencies is enforced.
That order allows the suspension of habeas corpus and all rights guaranteed under the Bill of Rights.
A
look at the fine print of the contract signed when a safety deposit box
is opened reveals that in essence the signer has given to the bank
whatever property he has put into that deposit box. When times are good
people will be allowed open access to their safe deposit box and the
property that is in it. This also applies to their bank accounts.
But
when times get really bad, many may find that the funds they have
placed on deposit and the property they thought was secured in the safe
deposit box now belong to the bank, not to them. Although this was
probably not explained to them when they signed their signature card,
this is what they were agreeing to.
During the Great Depression
in the early 1930’s people thought that many banks were going to fail.
They were afraid they would lose their money so they went in mass to
take it out, in what is known as a run on the banks. The government
closed the banks to protect them from angry depositors who wanted their
money back. Throughout history, governments have acted to protect the
interests of banks and the wealthy people who own them, not the
interests of depositors or box holders.
In a time of emergency,
people will have no recourse if access to their safe deposit box and
bank accounts is denied. If they are keeping money in a bank that would
be needed in an emergency or in a time when credit is no longer free
flowing, they may not be able to get it out of the bank. The emergency
may occur at night or on a weekend or holiday when the bank is closed.
The
solution is to take emergency cash or valuables out of the safe deposit
box or bank account and secure them somewhere else, like in a home
safe. An even better idea may be to close the safe deposit box account
completely, letting someone else entertain the illusion of safety.
Americans have learned a few things since the Great Depression. They now have the FDIC to liquidate any failed banks.
The
FDIC promises to set up a series of dates and times when safe deposit
box renters can access their boxes by appointment to remove their
property and surrender their keys. The FDIC also promises to mail bank
customers an announcement of the dates for such events and include a
question and answer page that addresses safe deposit box access.
The
people have the FDIC to give them back the money they had on deposit
that they were unable to get out of any failed bank that carries FDIC
insurance. Sheila Bair, head of the FDIC, promises that depositor`s
money will be available in 24 hours or less. But people should remember
that the FDIC is just another bureaucracy, and it`s probably best not to
rely on a bureaucracy in an emergency.
Remember that safe deposit boxes aren't even insured, should the bank fail.
DON'T PUT ANYTHING VALUABLE AND/OR NON-REPLACEABLE IN ANY BANK OR STORAGE FACILITY.
Jim Rogers, investor, author, billionaire and Chairman of Rogers
Holdings and Beeland Interests, Inc., is the latest in a long line of
top economists and financial experts who are going public, telling
Americans to get their money out of the system now, because it is going
to be stolen.
"Get your money out of the Banks, they are going to loot it." — Jim Rogers
"If
politicians say don't worry, then understand you have to worry and they
will loot your bank account. Run for the hills and hurry to get your
money out." The IMF and the EU are actively stealing the
privately-accrued wealth of the citizens. Jim Rogers says don't trust
any politician. If you do, you will go bankrupt quickly. Amazingly, he
CNBC reporter agreed with him.
The
Cypriot citizens woke up last week to find their private savings
accounts raided of between 10%-80%, outside of law, depending on how
much money they had deposited.
What happens in Cyprus won't stay
in Cyprus. Because the global banking system is all connected. For
instance, the U.S. Federal Reserve system was founded in 1913 by the
same people who founded the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the
European Union (EU).
The bank heads who engineered this financial
crisis are now taking their mask off. They are committing open
thievery, holding citizens (depositors) accountable for insurmountable
debts they did not accrue, and Cyprus will be the model for the rest of
the Eurozone, Japan, and the United states.
Incidentally, U.S.
banking industry failures have driven the FDIC to insolvency again. It
happened in 2009 when they were short by over $100 billion to insure
bank deposits, and it's happening again this year in 2013.
Ann
Barnhardt’s August 2012 interview with SilverDoctors serves as a
startling wake-up call for any still participating in the fraud known as
the US markets, stating that "What we’re seeing is the complete
disintegration of the financial system before our very eyes. It’s
Soviet." Barnhardt tells readers, "You have got to get your money out of
the financial system. Not just the futures markets, but the entire
thing. Stocks, 401k, IRA. GET YOUR MONEY OUT OR ELSE IT IS ALL GOING TO
BE STOLEN FROM YOU! IT’S ALL A PONZI."
"What part of GET THE HELL OUT are you not understanding?" — Ann Barnhardt
Confiscating
the customer deposits in Cyprus banks, it seems, was not a one-off,
desperate idea of a few Eurozone “troika” officials scrambling to
salvage their balance sheets. A joint paper by the US Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation and the Bank of England dated December 10, 2012,
shows that these plans have been long in the making; that they
originated with the G20 Financial Stability Board in Basel, Switzerland,
and that the result will be to deliver clear title to the banks of
depositor funds.
Those of you who are still stuck in your sophomoric normalcy bias and cognitive dissonance; those who still don't think this will happen in America, remember PFGBest and MFGlobal.
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted
after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through
with many sorrows. — 1 Timothy 6:10

On Saturday, Terry M. Hestilow, a retired United States Army Captain from Fort Worth, Texas, posted a letter on his Facebook account that he wrote to Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, warning that the Department of Homeland Security is preparing to go to war with the citizens of the United States.
Dear friends, the following is a copy of my correspondence with Senator Cornyn concerning the arming of the DHS for war against the citizens of our nation. You are each encouraged to copy and properly amend this letter to send to your own senators and members of the U.S. House.
Further, I am somewhat overwhelmed at the response to my posts leading up to this letter on this issue. At this point almost 3,000 of you have shared my original post, I have 994 new friends requests, 61 messages, and 70 new comments to process.
Please be patient with me and pray that this window of communication remains open to all of us as we respond to this threat against our Constitution and our people. I am awed by you, by your positive response, and your wonderful support. We each have a role to play in standing against this present tyranny.
Part of that proper response is sending them a letter like this from YOU, and following it up to make sure it remains a "hot button" issue that must be resolved. God bless you as you honor your oaths and your obligations as citizens of this free nation. May we once again know honorable leadership and peace at home. With all sincerity and respect—Resolved, Captain Terry M. Hestilow, United States Army, Retired.
The Honorable Senator John Cornyn, State of Texas United States Senate 517 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510
Re: Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and that agencies preparation for war against citizens of the United States of America.
Dear Senator Cornyn,
It is with gravest concern that I write to you today concerning the recent appropriation of weapons by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that can only be understood as a bold threat of war by that agency, and the Obama administration, against the citizens of the United States of America. To date, DHS has been unwilling to provide to you, the elected representatives of the People, justification for recent purchases of almost 3,000 mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) armored personnel carriers, 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition (with associated weapons), and other weapons systems, when, in fact, the DHS has no war mission or war making authority within the limits of the United States of America.
Significant is the fact that at the same time the Obama administration is arming his DHS for war within the limits of the United States against the People of the United States in accordance with his 2008 campaign speech claiming,
“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve gotta (sic) have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded [as the United States military]” — Candidate Barack Obama, 2008.
The Obama administration is deliberately de-funding, overextending, and hollowing the Department of Defense; the only legitimate agency of the U.S. government with a war mission.
This act of the Obama administration stands as a glaring threat of war against our nation’s citizens! This act of the Obama administration can only be understood as a tyrannical threat against the Constitution of the United States of America! If left unresolved, the peace loving citizens who have sworn to defend the United States Constitution “against all enemies, both foreign and domestic” are left no option except to prepare to defend themselves, and the U.S. Constitution, against this Administration’s “coup” against the People and the foundations of liberty fought for and defended for the past 238 years. We have no choice if we honor our oaths.
The only proper response to this threat against the American people is for the representatives of the People, the members of the U.S. House and Senate, to demand in clear terms that the Administration cannot ignore, that the Department of Homeland Security immediately surrender their newly appropriated weapons of war to the Department of Defense (DoD). Further, since the DHS has assumed a position in the Administration to enforce the tyrannical acts of this president against the People of the United States against the limits of the United States Constitution, it remains for the United States Congress to exercise its limiting power in the balancing of powers established by our founding fathers, to disestablish and dissolve the DHS as soon as possible. One needs only to look to the rise of Adolf Hitler, and his associated DHS organizations, the SA and the SS, of 1932-1934, to see the outcome of allowing an agency of government this kind of control over the free citizens of a nation. The people of Germany could not have imagined, until it was too late, the danger of allowing a tyrant this kind of power. We must not be so naïve as to think it will not happen to us as well if we remain passive toward this power grab by the Marxist Obama administration!
Finally, for more than two centuries the nation has lived in peace at home because of the protections of our legitimate military and the many appropriate state and federal law enforcement agencies, supported by Constitutional courts. We stand today at a cross-road. Will we allow this present Administration to overthrow our United States Constitution and its legal processes to amend injustices, or, will we honor our obligations to defend the Constitution against a “domestic” enemy? Our Constitution lays out the proper methods of resolving our differences; and it does not include its overthrow by a rogue agency of a Marxist leadership at home. You, sir, are our constitutionally elected agent to defend our Constitution at home. We are counting upon you. We remain aware, however, of this present threat and will not expose ourselves as an easy prey to the authors of the destruction of our nation.
I know that this letter demands much of you. We elected you because we, the citizens of the State of Texas, believe that you are up to the task at hand and will, against all threats, honor your oath and office. We are also writing to your fellow members of the House and Senate to stand in integrity with the Constitution and against this present threat by the Obama administration and his DHS.
We refuse to surrender our Constitution or our nation!
Resolved, Captain Terry M. Hestilow United States Army, Retired Fort Worth, Texas March 23, 2013
A solicitation on the Federal Business Opportunities website details the DHS’ plan to purchase 360,000 rounds of “Commercial leaded training ammo (CLTA) Pistol .40 caliber 165 grain, jacketed hollow point.” The bullets are to be delivered to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Artesia, New Mexico, the same destination for 240,000 hollow point rounds which were purchased only last month.
Although the DHS has attempted to explain its mammoth purchase of ammunition by claiming the bullets are being acquired in bulk to save money and that they are for training purposes only, this has been disputed by reputable voices such as former Marine Richard Mason, who told reporters with WHPTV News in Pennsylvania earlier this month, “We never trained with hollow points, we didn’t even see hollow points my entire four and a half years in the Marine Corps.”
Hollow point bullets are almost twice as expensive as full metal jackets, therefore the DHS’ explanation that it is buying huge quantities in bulk to “save money” doesn’t make sense.
Concerns about the apparent arms build-up are growing, with retired United States Army Captain Terry M. Hestilow sending a letter to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) warning that the ammo purchases represent “a bold threat of war by that agency (DHS), and the Obama administration, against the citizens of the United States of America.”
Questions from members of Congress about why the federal agency is buying up ammo, exacerbating shortages across the country, have been met with silence:
Kansas Congressman Timothy Huelscamp said last week that threats should be made to withdraw funding from the DHS if it didn’t explain why it was purchasing so many bullets, remarking, “They have no answer for that question. They refuse to answer to answer that.”
Californian Congressman Doug LaMalfa and 14 of his House colleagues have written a letter to the Department of Homeland Security asking if the purchases are, “being conducted in a manner that strategically denies the American people access to ammunition.”
Although members of Congress are treating the matter with the seriousness it deserves, the mainstream and leftist media have attempted to ridicule the entire issue as a conspiracy theory, with Atlantic Wire even suggesting that the story had its origins in a debunked email, a report that completely failed to even mention the admitted fact that the DHS had purchased around 2 billion bullets.
While the DHS continues to purchase bullets in large quantities, police departments have been forced to barter amongst each other in a desperate scramble to meet their ammo needs.
As DHS is sucking up ammunition and war-making equipment so the military and civilians can no longer get it, General Amos is warning his Marines to be very frugal with ammo and fuel. There is very good reason to suspect the DHS of preparing for war against the American people.
As the following video depicting an extensive aggregation of news reports shows, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is preparing for "massive civil war" in America. "The federal government is preparing for civil uprising, so every time you hear about troop movements, every time you hear about movements of military equipment, the militarization of the police, the buying of the ammunition, all of this is . . . they (DHS) are preparing for a massive uprising."
Who Does The Government Intend To Shoot?
In the August 2012 op-ed piece 'Who Does The Government Intend To Shoot?' by Major General Jerry Curry, USA (Ret.), a decorated combat veteran, Army Aviator, Paratrooper, and Ranger, observed, "The Social Security Administration (SSA) confirms that it is purchasing 174 thousand rounds of hollow point bullets to be delivered to 41 locations in major cities across the U.S. No one has yet said what the purpose of these purchases is, though we are led to believe that they will be used only in an emergency to counteract and control civil unrest. Those against whom the hollow point bullets are to be used — those causing the civil unrest — must be American citizens; since the SSA has never been used overseas to help foreign countries maintain control of their citizens."
Later in his article, Major General Curry writes, "Obama is a deadly serious, persistent man. Once he focuses on an object, he pursues it to the end. What is his focus here? All of these rounds of ammunition can only be used to kill American citizens, though there is enough ammunition being ordered to kill, in addition to every American citizen, also every Iranian, Syrian or Mexican. There is simply too much of it. And this much ammunition can’t be just for training, there aren’t that many weapons and “shooters” in the U.S. to fire it."
"Papers, please." In America? Yes. But, you DO NOT have to comply.
If you're still living in the false reality that the United States of America is a free country, then it's time to wake up and smell the coffee. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have been erecting and manning dozens of illegal Nazi Gestapo-like checkpoints throughout the United States in recent months. Why do I say they are illegal? Because that is what the supreme law of the land, the U.S. Constitution, and innumerable Supreme Court rulings and officially-recognized legal declarations say they are. Before we get any further, watch this video:
Some well-meaning people may say that these drivers are being problematic or rebellious, or that they would just comply with the officials, unless they "had something to hide." Some may say that it's to keep out the illegals. If that were true, then why did the DHS last week release more than 2,000 illegal immigrants who may have been convicted of serious crimes, due to budget cuts? If the checkpoints are in fact to keep out the illegal immigrants, then why do government documents show the Obama administration planned to release roughly 5,000 of them by the end of March? If it were true, then why did the field offices of the agency empowered with the enforcement of America's domestic security report that more than 2,000 immigrants were released in February before intense criticism led to a temporary shutdown of the plan? Why do people of good intent still repeat the false mantra that it is "for our safety"? Because that is what we are expected to think by the very institutions spreading this fallacy. It has been said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Similarly, The Fifth Amendment (Amendment V) to the United States Constitution, protects against abuse of government authority in a legal procedure.
Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution: No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
And as an added bonus, the dotting of the "i" and the crossing of the "t" of Liberty, our founders saw fit to enumerate the ultimate authority of state governments and We the People, to check or resist the tyrannical proclivities of the federal government. The Tenth Amendment embodies the wisdom of checks and balances and makes explicit the idea that the federal government is limited only to the powers granted to it in the Constitution.
Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
John Marshall, Chief Justice of the United States (1801-1835) whose court opinions helped lay the basis for American constitutional law, said in the landmark United States Supreme Court case, Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803), “All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution, are null and void." Marbury v. Madison formed the basis for the exercise of judicial review in the United States under Article III of the Constitution. In his speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention on June 5, 1778, Patrick Henry admonished his colleagues to, “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 inevitably ruined." Lets clear up another common misconception. It is not the Constitution that gives us our rights. No, as the framers of the Constitution unanimously declared, it enumerates what our natural rights are as granted by our creator God. The Bill of Rights and Constitution underscore our rights, highlight them, point them out and effectively add a great big exclamation point after them. The Constitution is the permanent reminder to the federal government of the citizens' unalienable rights of which they cannot rightly infringe upon. As John Adams so poignantly enunciated, “You have rights antecedent to all earthly governments; rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; rights derived from the Great Lesigislator of the Universe.” Regarding these unconstitutional checkpoints, you DO NOT have to comply with their question's or demands. You DO NOT have to submit to their tyranny. I have written my elected representatives in my home state of Florida to let them know that the I will not comply with the unconstitutional and illegitimate revenue-generating highway checkpoints announced last month by the Florida Highway Patrol. I also let them know that the checkpoints are illegal and repugnant to the Constitution, and are there null and void. Read about it at my blog here. Before you go spouting off the current accepted talking point that "it's for our safety," remember what Benjamin Franklin warned all who fall for this deceptive subversion, “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Here are a few other affecting quotations on the matter of preserving liberty, by astute minds:
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber barons cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” ― C. S. Lewis
“Power-lust is a weed that grows only in the vacant lots of an abandoned mind.” ― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
“Good intentions will always be pleaded for any assumption of power. The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.” ― Daniel Webster
“When the government’s boot is on your throat, whether it is a left boot or a right boot is of no consequence.” ― Gary Lloyd
Lest you absent-mindedly fall for the illusion of the collaborator media that "we're doing just fine," the United States is now recognized globally as one of the most oppressive police states on earth. These illegitimate checkpoints going up around the country are but one of the latest examples of the sickening depths to which our once-free Republic has fallen. The military industrial complex, which President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned us about in his January 17, 1961 farewell address, is transforming our once free nation into a giant prison camp, a police state control grid constructed in the engineered crisis of fighting the never-ending "war on terror". How did it come to this? How did our once-free America turn into a Gestapo of would-be slaves acquiescing to despotism? Why do free men submit to having the private parts of their wives and children groped by uniformed strangers while standing in a line waiting to travel about the country? Why do we allow enforcers of the law, who were once called "peace officers", to unreasonably search and seize our persons, houses, papers and effects without a warrant, and without any reasonable suspicion that we may have committed a crime? Why do we cower and grovel to a government that no longer serves the best interests of the people they represent, and that no longer derives its just powers from the consent of the governed? Why do we pay such a sum of our earnings to a bloated institution that taxes us without representation, and that spends our money with reckless abandon on a system that enslaves us with each passing day? Why do we willingly serve a shadow system that has, as the Declaration of Independence decried, "...erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance"? The answer:
The people don't know their rights!
Nor are the people as a majority willing to stand and fight for their rights. Nor do the majority of them believe that the Constitution is being incrementally eviscerated, and that their rights are assuredly under siege. When one does not know and understand what the blessings of liberty promise, then how can one hold onto them when they are being stripped away? How can we defend the line when we haven't even drawn our line in the sand that shall not be crossed? The late Bill Cooper, investigative journalists, researcher, radio broadcaster and author, said of our rights when asked in an interview where they are, "They're wherever we're willing to draw a line and say 'you cannot come across this line or I'll kill you.' That's where our rights are. If you don't understand that, folks, then it's beyond my capability to explain it to you. They will get away with whatever you let them get away with. And until you draw the line and you're willing to die for what you believe in, they will keep taking and taking and taking and taking, until there is no more left to take. Then, it's all gone, and you're a slave." Bill Cooper was killed on November 5th, 2001 in a S.W.A.T. raid on his ranch in Arizona. The great orator Samuel Adams said, “If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” If We the People are not even willing to assert our authority granted by our divine creator and resist tyranny, then how will we ever make it as a free people? How will our children and children's children ever know and understand the blessing of liberty? We must not comply. We must resist at all costs, because to comply will make us willing conspirators of our own demise. For all my fellow Bible-believing Christians who defer to Romans 13 in the concerted effort of blind submission to authority, I have also read it. According to the Romans 13 that I've read, a Christian's duty to civil government affirms that submission is altogether limited and that the obey-government-no-matter-what and the divine-right-of-kings arguments are false. These arguments have been used by virtually every tyrant since the ministry of Jesus, including Adolf Hitler, who cited Romans 13 as his favorite Bible passage and used it as an example for the German evangelicals to stand down. This false doctrine is doing more to bring America and the rest of the world into slavery than perhaps any other thing. Holders of this doctrine are creating self-fulfilling prophecies of America's destruction. For more on the true nature of a Christian's duty in submitting to a just authority, read ROMANS 13: The True Meaning of Submission by Timothy Baldwin, J.D. and Dr. Chuck Baldwin. The noted American social reformer and leader of the abolitionist movement, Frederick Douglass, said of acquiescing to tyranny, “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.” What are we quietly willing to submit to? What is the exact measure of injustice and wrong which we will allow to be imposed upon us? What is the level of our endurance against those who oppress us? I like what Thomas Jefferson had to say: "I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man... Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God." Will you submit, or will you resist? I refer you to the document which was enshrined for all future generations of Americans, the Declaration of Independence, which was written as a result of a tyrannical form of government that increasingly became destructive of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, the unalienable Rights endowed by their Creator, and the necessity of the people to dissolve the political bands which connected them to it:
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776: But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Where are you willing to draw a line and say, "you cannot come across this line or I'll kill you"? That line is where your rights are. If you don't understand that, then it is beyond my capability to explain it to you. If you don't understand that, then you and your children are already slaves.

In
Massachusetts, 236 years after the famous “Shot heard ‘round the
world,” residents and visitors celebrate the momentous Battles of
Lexington and Concord. Patriots Day, the state holiday established in
1969 to commemorate the opening battles of the American Revolutionary
War.
The Southern Poverty Law Center “is very adept at creating the specter
that armed groups will overthrow the government or that the continuously
dying supremacy movement is lurking behind every rock,” said Bill Hahn in a
statement to USA Today. “The SPLC will continue to utilize fear to fill
their bank accounts.”
