How much is it worth to you to stop the corrupt establishment in Tallahassee?

 

A study by Princeton University has gone viral about the state of our current government. They found that special interest, large corporations and politicians who cater to wealthy elitists have control of our country. As I say this to you I know what you are saying: “I didn't need Princeton to tell me that.”

We all know that they are right but what they don’t know is that in Florida there is a solution. We are the solution. The Liberty First Network and the grassroots activists that we have built a relationship with has changed this equation in our state. We have proven time and time again that we can beat the special interests, corporations and corrupt politicians.

Organized Community Defense Is America’s Last Hope

August 5, 2014 by Brandon Smith

Not long ago, I felt compelled to address the idea of self defense as a moral imperative in an article titled “Violence In The Face Of Tyranny Is Often Necessary.” My intention was to perhaps undo some of the propaganda conditioning that Americans have suffered over the decades that has taught them that “all” forms of violent action are “immoral”, including the defense of one’s person, one’s property, and one’s freedom.

The recent uprising at Bundy Ranch in Bunkerville, Nev., confirmed my predictions that many Americans are tired of playing by rules chartered by the establishment and are ready to take measures outside of the boundaries set by the system. The reality is that change will never come without consequence and cost, and when faced with an entrenched tyranny, if the citizenry cannot present the threat of physical consequence to their oppressors, the oppressors have no motivation to relinquish power.

To use the schoolyard analogy yet again, it is a fact of life that the class bully will not leave a victim in peace because he is enthralled with the feeling of power over others. The bully will not stop because he has no incentive. Protesting only encourages him. Using the system as a shield only amuses him. Logic and reason only anger him. Punching the bully in the teeth is the only incentive he will respect. If you show that you can disrupt a tyrant’s abuse of power anytime you wish, if you show that you can hurt him back, only then will he take you seriously.

Just because you do not take an interest in politics…

By Paul Henry on July 24, 2014 in Liberty Blog, Lobbying

 

“Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn’t mean politics won’t take an interest in you.”
― Pericles

 In the photo above, the description of it on Wikipedia reads in part: “The Dachau camp was created for holding political opponents."

The camp opened in Germany in 1933 and operated until liberated in April 1945. Students of history will recall the first camps opened immediately after Hitler became chancellor of Germany in 1933. One prisoner in the camps was Pastor Martin Niemöller, who is famous for writing about German citizen inaction in politics:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

 

WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE PHOTO

July 9, 2014 by Hilary Hudson


  An expired driver’s license typically demands a routine trip to the tag agency and the accompanying annoyances – waiting in line, paying renewal fees, and posing awkwardly for a picture. Most Oklahomans, however, do not know just how much personal information they are sharing when they smile for the digital camera. The high-resolution photographs taken for Oklahoma driver’s licenses and identification cards actually contain biometric data: unique information that can be used to identify you based on your facial features. The information gathered includes physical signatures like iris recognition data containing color or texture patterns, and a digital image that is compatible with facial recognition programs used by law enforcement.

In response, a Cleveland County resident filed a lawsuit against the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety objecting to the collection and storage of this biometric data as a condition to drive a car in Oklahoma. According to the petition, a DPS agent denied the plaintiff’s application for a driver’s license renewal when the plaintiff refused, on religious grounds, to allow a high-resolution biometric facial photograph to be taken of her. The plaintiff now asserts a violation of the Oklahoma Religious Freedom Act, which forbids government entities from substantially burdening a person’s free exercise of religion, unless that burden is essential to a compelling governmental interest. The reasons the State of Oklahoma has produced to justify the mandatory collection of biometric data fall considerably short of this standard.

What is the REAL ID Act?

The REAL ID Act is a law passed by Congress in 2005. It makes the States change the way they issue ID cards and driver licenses. It imposes numerous requirements on the states, and more importantly the citizens of those states. Here in Florida, what this means is when you go to renew your driver license or change your name (such as due to divorce, marriage, etc.) you have to provide a laundry list of documents. These include but are not limited to certified copies of your birth certificate or passport, your Social Security card, proof of address such as your power/utility bill, your mortgage coupon book, etc. All of the details have been laid out by the State of Florida on a website called  Gather Go Get. Once you have provided this information, which is seized in violation of the 4^th Amendment, it is then scanned into a database and retained by the state. By Federal law (the REAL ID Act), this information is to be shared with other states.

Rest in Peace

Joint LOK Statement on Sunday's senseless murders in Las Vegas

Cut Military, Boost DHS

I started warning people 5 years ago that this would happen. The US military is being purged and made defunct, while the networks of internal Stasi organizations are growing by leaps and bounds.

You have to ask yourself why this would be necessary and be needed by the elite;

1. An "international" force will supplement the US armed forces, meaning our sovereignty will be given to a world government or collaboration of superpowers. We will no longer be required to fight wars because we will no longer be allowed to protect ourselves as a sovereign nation.

2. Internal security will be the replacement battlefield where the federal government will view the people as the enemy and will require surveillance, armament, and tactics necessary to control and keep a population against their will, subjugating them to a system of government that exists as a tyrannical technocracy.

Both of these approaches will see foreign troops on US soil and the necessity by those collaboration of forces to engage and defeat any citizen who is not "with the program". Those who cannot be reeducated will simply be executed.

Oath Keeper

Sheriff Mack

April 26, 2014 www.cspoa.org Dear Leon Oath Keepers, In this letter:  Sheriff Mack at the Bundy Ranch When Media Dogs Attack  A Letter of Support CSPOA Jan 2014 Resolution Update  Upcoming CSPOA Events  Next CSPOA Next CSPOA Convention: Sept. 14, 2014 Arlington, VA  Sheriff Mack at the Bundy Ranch   In our last newsletter we stated that Sheriff Mack was traveling with some others to offer support to the Bundy family at their Ranch in Nevada. OK, actually there was one place where we mistakenly said 'Brady' instead of 'Bundy' and believe us, our web guy heard from you about that one. Nothing this significant ever happened on an episode of 'The Brady Bunch'.  But we digress.  Here is Richard Mack's firsthand account of what occurred at the BUNDY Ranch. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~      The Bundy Siege Report: As previously reported, I went to the Bundy Ranch last weekend. I was accompanied by my son Jimmy, Wendy Larchick (a lawyer) and her father Gale (a retired police officer). We all drove together from Mesa, Az to Bunkerville, NV. As we neared "ground zero" we became frustrated by the horrible stop-and-go traffic. While sitting on the I-15 freeway I received a call from one of our CSPOA members who had arrived the day before. He was on the front lines of the 150 or so crowd of men and women who were marching towards the makeshift BLM corral to free the Bundy cattle. Come what may, he and the others were determined to set the cattle free. This CSPOA member was a 15-year law enforcement veteran and understood the gravity of the situation in which he had voluntarily placed himself.

Judge Napolitano “Fearful” of What’s Coming Next in Bundy Dispute

Involvement of Harry Reid seen as ominous

April 15, 2014

Judge Andrew Napolitano told Fox News today that he was “fearful” of what might happen next in the Cliven Bundy dispute, noting that Senator Harry Reid’s assertion that the situation is “not over” could be an ominous sign.

“I’m actually a little fearful because although the government appears to have backed down now, their local mouthpiece Senator Harry Reid said it’s not over,” said Napolitano, referring to comments Reid made yesterday.

Richard Mack Warns of Possible Raid

Sources Inside The BLM and Las Vegas Metro Say Feds Are Planning A Raid On Bundy Home

Ben Swann interviewing Sheriff Mack:

Bunkerville, NEVADA, April 14, 2014– As reported yesterday, hundreds of federal agents are still at the Bundy Ranch and the area continues its status as a no-fly zone. Despite major media reports that the Nevada Bureau of Land Management is retreating, the remaining activity that still surrounds the ranch illustrates a different scenario.

Preliminary statement from Stewart Rhodes

Oath Keepers,

We need a presence there immediately to help prevent the feds sparking another Ruby Ridge or Waco incident in the Bundy stand-off.

Watch this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhJ6...ature=youtu.be


Nevada State Rep. Michele Fiore (a strong patriot who has attended many of our meetings) is on site right now at the protest site outside the Bundy ranch, and she is helping us assemble a coalition of Nevada state legislators. We are also working with WA State Rep Matt Shea to put together a delegation of other Western State Representatives to go there to support Rep. Fiore and her coalition, and we are working with Sheriff Mack to bring a delegation of current serving CSPOA Sheriffs to stand vigil there. We need Oath Keepers to also show up and stand vigil and support this family and the patriot legislators and sheriffs who are taking the lead in defending them. This is critical. The goal is to stand vigil to prevent another Waco or Ruby Ridge, and to put pressure on the Nevada Governor to honor the oath he took by standing up for this family and for the state of Nevada.

I fly to Vegas tomorrow. Sheriff Mack is coming too, along with the current serving Sheriffs he is rallying to the cause.

All who can make it, need to be there. We need numbers - boots on the ground. The more the better.




For those who are coming, please rally at the public protest site near the ranch in Bunkerville, Nevada. To get there, take I-15 North, toward Mesquite, and get off at exit 112. Go right two miles (you can only go right). You will see tall flag poles and signs. Can't miss it.


Per Ammon Bundy, here are some rules:

First, NO MILITARY CAMMO. This is a protest by rural Americans. Dress accordingly. (from me: Oath Keepers can wear Oath Keepers polos if you have them, or OK T shirts, but please no cammo. Let's respect the Bundy family request).

No open carry of rifles. Any rifles people may have with them need to stay in the vehicles.

Action Alert: Boots On The Ground Need Donations for food and water at Bundy Ranch Standoff

As many of you have heard there is a standoff brewing in Nevada at the Bundy Ranch.  Oath Keepers is involved, as you’ll read in our article here -
http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2014/04/10/coalition-of-western-state-legislators-sheriffs-and-veterans-stand-vigil-in-support-of-embattled-nevada-rancher-cliven-bundy-%E2%80%98to-prevent-another-ruby-ridge-or-waco%E2%80%9D/

A Delegation of state legislators, lead by Washington State Representative Matt Shea, along with a  delegation of current serving Sheriffs, lead by Sheriff Richard Mack of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, and military and police members of Oath Keepers, are converging on the site of a stand-off between federal law enforcement and Nevada Rancher Cliven Bundy, to prevent bloodshed and to stand in defense of hardworking rural Americans who are under assault by a runaway federal government.


Oath Keepers is calling for Boots On The Ground. Because this is a federal incursion we are calling for volunteers from all over America. Anyone who can, please get to Nevada ASAP. Please see our press release at above link for details.  Stewart Rhodes is on a jet right now ( Thursday morning, April 10, 2014) and will arrive there this afternoon.  Early reports indicate a ground-swell of Patriots is building already on-site. This is a mobilization, with Sheriffs, Legislators, organization leaders, Patriots of all sorts, and especially Oath Keepers!, all showing up to stand united on the land.


LOGISTICS
Oath Keepers is asking all who cannot make the trip to the Bundy Ranch in Nevada to assist this mobilization by donating for food and water for the “Boots On The Ground” who will stand to oppose the idiocy of the BLM/federal government. Whatever you can send will be a blessing for the Patriots out there in the Nevada landscape. Just as in any military combat operation, the supply lines are extremely important for victory.  You are the logistical support for those on the front line. Please know that your generosity is as important as the presence of the Patriots who are standing out there on the land. And also remember, whether you can donate for the logistics or not, your prayers for our victory are also important. Spread the word. Share the link.
With Oath Keepers’ gratitude and appreciation, please pitch in here:


And don’t forget to read our press release in full -

March 1st, 2014 Meeting

Due to the graciousness of Talon Range, we're holding our monthly meetings in either the lounge or the classroom on the first Saturday of every month, at 5pm (until further notice).

This month's meeting will be this Saturday, March 1st.  Bring a friend.  If you'd like to shoot after our short meeting and you're not yet a Talon member, you can claim to be Ivan's guest and pay Talon's Pro Shop $10 after check-in. 

To save yourself valuable daylight and range time, visit Talon Range online first, watch their videos, print out and complete their test at home and present it when checking in with the Talon Pro-Shop after our short meeting.  

 The agenda for this month's meeting will be two simple items:

1) Specific training classes; and 

2) The CSPOA resolution that we'll be actively promoting signage of, to not only all citizens, but especially all those in public service.  This is extremely important, as it represents proven strategic nonviolent struggle methods of protest, noncooperation and refusal of public support. 

Sheriff Nick Finch of Liberty County was one of the first signatories and this month we'll be working to get more sheriffs to take the same course.  If an individual wouldn't sign it, then what does that say about him or her?

CSPOA January 2014 Resolution

The following was drafted at a meeting of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) on Jan 24, 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada and approved by the members present.  We encourage all sheriffs, peace officers and those in public office to sign with us. We also welcome the signatures of all other U.S. citizens.

Resolution
Of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association
Pursuant to the powers and duties bestowed upon us by our citizens, the undersigned do hereby resolve that any Federal officer, agent, or employee, regardless of supposed congressional authorization, is required to obey and observe limitations consisting of the enumerated powers as detailed within Article 1 Section 8 of the U S Constitution and the Bill Of Rights.

The people of these united States are, and have a right to be, free and independent, and these rights are derived from the “Law of Nature and nature’s God.” As such, they must be free from infringements on the right to keep and bear arms, unreasonable searches and seizures, capricious detainments and every other natural right whether enumerated or not, pursuant to the 9th amendment.

We further reaffirm that “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” (10th amendment).

Furthermore, we maintain that no agency established by the U S Congress can develop its own policies or regulations which supersede the Bill of Rights or the Constitution, nor does the executive branch have the power to make law, overturn law or set aside law.

Therefore, in order to protect the American people, BE IT RESOLVED THAT,
The following abuses will not be allowed or tolerated:

1) Registration of personal firearms under any circumstances.

2) Confiscation of firearms without probable cause, due process, and constitutionally compliant warrants issued by a local or state jurisdiction.

3) Audits or searches of a citizen’s personal affairs or finances without probable cause, and due process, and constitutionally compliant warrants issued by a local or state jurisdiction.

4) Inspections of person or property without probable cause and constitutionally compliant warrants as required by the 4th Amendment and issued by a local or state jurisdiction.

5) The detainment or search of citizens without probable cause and proper due process compliance, or the informed consent of the citizen.

6) Arrests with continued incarcerations without charges and complete due process, including, but not limited to public and speedy jury trials, in a court of state or local jurisdiction.

7) Domestic utilization of our nation’s military or federal agencies operating under power granted under the laws of war against American citizens.

8) Arrest of citizens or seizure of persons or property without first notifying and obtaining the express consent of the local sheriff.

AND, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,
that the undersigned Sheriffs, Peace Officers, and other Public Servants, do hereby denounce any acts or agencies which promote the aforementioned practices. All actions by the Federal Government and its agents will conform strictly and implicitly with the principles expressed within the United States Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights.

There is no greater obligation or responsibility of any government officer than to protect the rights of the people. Thus, any conduct contrary to the United States Constitution, Declaration of Independence, or the Bill of Rights will be dealt with as criminal activity.
