I believe this is a US State Department aircraft......
Why the ownership is hidden I cannot say - but I strongly urge our Congressional Leaders to find out. A State Department aircraft should NOT be hidden if it does normal LEGAL things..................

My reasoning?
I tracked the aircraft through several different countries by the transponder data it has no choice but to transmit by International and US Law - and the aircraft goes to several different countries at curious times.....
This sighting reported from Iran coincides with Iran being given $450 US Taxpayer dollars as part of mr obama's sanctions "deal"... Read this;http://backchannel.al-monitor.com/index.php/author/laura/

The list is very long so I will only publish a few places where it went:

I urge everyone to write their elected and demand to know who this aircraft belongs to - and why it is in Iran when travel there is prohibited by US Law.

As I stated in the beginning, I am convinced this is a State Department aircraft - but the identity of ownership is hidden. Here is the FAA database webpage on this tail number: http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_Results.aspx?NNumbertxt=604EP

The presence of a United States-flagged aircraft in Iran is highly unusual in Iran these days, especially when it’s owned by a small Utah bank.

Religion and government

We are seeing a lot of instances where anyone who expresses a Christian religious belief are being slammed by the liberals. This is allowed to continue on because once again, the constitution was ignored. We are seeing a lot of cases where school children are getting in trouble for having a bible, or expressing a religious belief, soldiers are told not to practice their religion if its Christian, religious groups are told they cant send soldiers overseas care packages because its coming from a Christian group as well as people are being sued for practicing their religious beliefs. 

The problem began in the 1960's. In 1962 Engel v. Vitale the Supreme court ruled that government written prayers were not to be recited in public schools and were an unconstitutional violation of the Establishment Clause.

When the Supreme Court ruled on Engle vs Vitale, they used no former precedences or rulings in their decision. They in fact violated the constitution with their ruling for the ruling was an enactment of a law that favored a religion (Atheism is considered a form of religion by the Supreme Court), as well as prevented the free excersize of religion.

Now one thing needs to be mentioned here, part of this ruling is correct in the fact that the school board can not force a student to recite a prayer. Yet the Supreme Court went over and beyond the scope of this case by ruling in its opinion of the case that any prayer created by any school official was a constitutional violation. That should have been left up to the community and not the federal government to decide.

In 1963 Madalyn Murray O'Hair, a militant left wing atheist with close ties to the American Communist Party, took the school board of Baltimore to court for allowing prayer in school.

In this case the Supreme Court ruled in favor of abolishing school prayer and Bible reading in the public schools. Once again the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Atheism which is a clear violation of the first amendment of the Constitution. No laws shall be made respecting a religion or prohibiting the free excersize of religion. This ruling clearly favors atheism as well as prohibits Christianity which is what our country was founded on.

Now people might wonder what can be done about this. Actually its simple yet hard. The Supreme Court needs to be sued for violating the Constitution. Their rulings in fact created law that violated the free excersize of religion. It created law that favors a religion (atheism).

The only true Constitutional ruling that could have been made was that a school could not force a person to pray against their will. It should be up to the community whether or not religion is allowed in a school and the rulings set precedents for the Federal Government to have the ability to punish people for their religion.

The hard part is finding a lawyer willing to take the case as well as funds for it.

A Reasonable Plan to End Illegal Immigration

wer.230.jpg


by John W. Lillpop




Mr. President, Honorable Members of Congress:

Because our government has refused to secure America's borders and enforce our immigration laws, our nation is struggling to deal with as many as 12-38 million illegal aliens who have entered this great nation unlawfully.

Many are good-hearted, hard working folks, simply looking for a better life.

However, that description also applies to scores of millions of others throughout the world, just as eager, and just as deserving, for a chance at the American Dream.

But while America is overwhelmed with illegal aliens who have willfully violated our borders and laws, people in other parts of the world are ordered to stand in line, wait their turn, and do that which is required for legal immigration.

We tell such hopefuls that America operates in accordance with the rule of law, and that their immigration wishes must be handled fairly, according to law.

Many of those waiting in line are highly educated and well trained.

Unfortunately, the same can not be said for most illegal aliens currently in America.

Predominately from third-world Latin nations, they are typically non-English speaking, unskilled and poor. Such people impose extraordinary burdens on our all-ready stressed education, health care, and legal systems, and cost American taxpayers hundreds of billions each year.

In addition, while young American men and women are sent to serve in harm's way in Afghanistan, our own borders remain unsecured, making America vulnerable to further terrorist attacks.

Failure to secure the home front during time of war can only be seen as a mockery of the American lives and treasury sacrificed to secure freedom in foreign lands 10,000 miles from home.

Americans are well aware of the fact that immigration is the subject of intense debate in the hallowed halls of congress. We also hear that some legislative proposals would actually forgive those who have broken into America in defiance of our borders and laws.

In Washington parlance, the euphemism is "Immigration Reform."

Immigration reform is understood by everyone to be "amnesty," and is totally unacceptable to a large majority of the American people.

To reward those who are here illegally would only serve to invite another 30 million or so to invade, and would be an unmitigated outrage.

At some point, our government (you) must decide that America is a sovereign nation with borders and laws that really mean something.

Again: Amnesty is totally unacceptable.

A sensible approach to immigration reform should incorporate the ideas offered below:

Employers Must Be Forced to Follow the Law

Businesses that employ illegal aliens represent a major threat to U.S. homeland security and the war on terror. Such businesses must be punished to the full extent of the law, including severe criminal sanctions against management.

Deportations Essential


America can no longer tolerate a policy whereby the immigrant decides unilaterally to invade America---and gets away with it!

The U.S. government must have total control over who enters the nation, where they will reside, for what purpose authorized, and date by which that individual must leave.

No reform scenario should sanction illegals currently here. Intelligent reform should require that every illegal alien be deported.

Use Military Force to Secure Borders


Our borders must be secured by sufficient military troops and or national guardsmen authorized to use force as needed to prevent illegal entry into the U.S.

Temporary Work Permit (TWP)

A worker in a foreign nation wishing to APPLY for a TWP should be allowed to do so, PROVIDED he/she has not been in America unlawfully within the last five years.

Other conditions:

An American employer seeking services from a foreign worker should, in effect, sponsor the worker. That means assuring there is NO burden to the community by way of health care costs,education, crime, and the like.

Employers may chose to form cooperatives to purchase health insurance at group rates. However, any and all costs of such coverage should be absorbed by employers, not taxpayers.

A TWP should authorize a term of not greater than 18 months, and pertain only to the worker.(A worker's family could cost U.S. taxpayers substantially for health care, educational and
legal services systems, thereby mitigating any benefit realized by employing the worker.)

No worker on a TWP must be allowed to parent an “anchor baby." Existing U.S. laws conferring citizenship on those born to illegal aliens must be changed, retroactively.

Criminal behavior of any sort, even a misdemeanor, should require immediate deportation of the worker.

All of the worker's income should be subject to tax withholding according to procedures administered by employers.

The worker should acknowledge, in writing, his/her understanding and agreement that the TWP has a limited, non-extendable term, and that it confers no other benefits such as driver’s license, social welfare, in-state tuition breaks, or citizenship.

Employers must assure that the worker leaves the U.S. before expiration of the TWP. Any violations should cause the employer to be severely punished.

The labor needs of American business can be satisfied without jeopardizing homeland security or the economic and cultural stability of the American people.

However, we must secure the borders permanently, force employers to obey the law, deport those here illegally, and stop making it so easy and attractive for illegal immigrants to invade America.

Any amnesty proposal is NOT an acceptable alternative.

Trusting each of You to protect and defend the constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, I remain Sincerely Yours,

Protests and ‘assault rifle’ registration paperwork continue to be shredded in New York two days after the SAFE Act provision deadline. Owners of assault-style weapons were supposed to have registered their guns by Tuesday. But there is no way of knowing exactly how many of these weapons there are in the state.

Liberals want compliance

Leah Gunn Barrett, executive director of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, said gun owners should be expected to follow the law.

They can make all the noise they want, but the law is the law,” Barrett said.

Pete Tonery, a Hamlin resident who has followed the gun control debate closely, called refusing to register assault rifles “the height of hypocrisy.”

“Their common cry is that regulation infringes on the rights of law-abiding citizens,” Tonery said. “What they now advocate removes them from that category. After they commit a felony, (by not registering) they will be criminals.”

A Constitutional issue

Mr. Tonery would be correct in his statement, if not for a little thing called the Constitution. The protesters believe that this law will open the doors to tyranny, and that the government has no right to know what firearms or how many they have. So far, the 2nd Amendment is just one American right that the government believes needs regulation.

There are an estimated one million rifles now categorized as assault style in the state of New York and gun-rights advocates estimate compliance will be less than 10 percent.

According to the mandate, rifles that are not registered by the February 15th deadline can either be sold out of state, or modified to non-assault specifications. Some of these modifications include capping a threaded barrel and removing a pistol grip.

An estimated 70 opponents of the law gathered outside the Walter J. Mahoney State Office Building in downtown Buffalo late Tuesday afternoon to shred State Police registration forms for assault weapons, chants at the rally included “We will not comply” and “Cuomo’s got to go.” Some of the signs included: “Millions of Gun Owners Hurt No One Yesterday” and “You Won’t Get Gun Control By Disarming Law Abiding Citizens.”

One Sheriff not enforcing it

A bright spot in this gun grab madness is that some of the county Sheriff’s still plan on honoring the oath they swore to uphold the Constitution. In Erie County, Sheriff  Timothy B. Howard says he will not force his deputies to enforce registration. He stated, “I am not encouraging them to do it. At the same time, their own consciences should be their guide. I am not forcing my conscience on them. That is a decision they should make.”

With the liberal states attempting to rewrite our Constitution, and law makers such as Dianne Feinstein still attempting to void the 2nd Amendment all together, it doesn’t take a genius to see that we as a free people are under attack from the elite. If we lose our 2nd Amendment rights, we have lost a cold war many of us did not even know was being waged.

Thomas Jefferson said, “If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.”

Okay, here is a list of things that require photo identification (as taken from http://www.usmessageboard.com/politics/212534-list-of-things-that-require-photo-identification.html) - so part of this is in jest as some of these things are irrelevant regarding constitutionality. But now just for fun let’s take a look at things that require a photo identification, and of course this is a very partial list and I’m sure I’m missing many many things that require photo identification, but let’s take a look:

 -Boarding an airplane

-Writing a check
-Cashing a check
-Using a credit card
-Driving a motor vehicle
-Applying for a business license
-Applying for permission to hold a protest or rally
-Securing employment 
-Purchasing a house or real estate
-Renting a domicile
-Renting a motor vehicle
-Purchasing a firearm (Includes BB guns)
-Applying for a hunting license (waived for 16 and 17 year olds when their legal guardian provides a photo ID)
-Applying for a fishing license (waived for 16 and 17 year olds when their legal guardian provides a photo ID)
-Purchasing alcoholic beverages
-Purchasing tobacco or products that contain nicotine
-Purchasing a motor vehicle
-Initial registration of a motor vehicle 
-Applying for a building permit
-Receiving prescription medicine
-Purchasing OTC medicine that contains pseudoephedrine 
-Serving on jury duty
-Getting a bank account
-Cash transactions of $5000.00 or greater
-Sales tax exemption for people aged 80 and above

Okay, so let’s just imagine for a moment that you’re running for political office (like I will be in the near future), and you have gone out and campaigned and spent your money and got a whole bunch of people to back you. You have a fantastic platform like mine (had to get this in here somehow!):

My platform - 
Congress should:
1. Take a 50% pay cut.
2. Not be able to vote themselves a raise – ever.
3. Receive a 3% pay increase or the equivalent percentage pay increase that they bestow upon our military.
4. Have term limits initiated - if it's good enough for the president it's good enough for them!
5. Receive healthcare that the rest of America receives - if it's good enough for you it's good enough for them!
6. Receive a pension no greater than in E7 with 20 years of military service.
7. Create a colloquial English (plain language) synopsis of every bill. This synopsis must be easy to read, outlined, and understandable. The synopsis should be available on a specified website for a full 24 hours prior to any vote.
8. Read every word of every bill that is ever presented, in full, on the floor, with all members present prior to any vote. (No more passing something to find out what’s in it!)
My fellow Americans when I am voted into Congress I will donate 50% of my pay to charity until such time as #1 can be implemented. I will fight for pay raises for our military members, better care for our military families, and the proper treatment of the families of our fallen heroes. I will work to ensure that there are no homeless veterans on the streets of America, but rather veterans working to help other veterans with a hand up – not a handout.
When I'm elected into Congress I will push each and every one of these issues so that those sitting in seats of power will truly have the best in mind for their constituents – because after their term is up they will have to go back and live under the rules that they've implemented.
My fellow Americans it is time to bring America back to the people, back to the states, bring back the constitutionality of our system of government.
It is time to reduce the size of the federal government and put the power back in the hands of the states and the people.

You have this thing in the bag right?

Uh, no.

You show up on Election Day and cast your vote (hopefully for yourself) and then you go back to campaign headquarters and… Wait. Tensions build and tensions mount as the numbers begin posting on the new services and at first you’re doing great! Then, as the night draws on, you see the numbers beginning to favor your opponent, and after all that time and effort and money and hope and dreams your opponent wins. But one of your campaign helpers gets a tip about some voter fraud that occurred so you press the issue… Only to be maligned by the media, called names, and doors are shut your face everywhere you go when you try to find out if the fraud actually occurred.

Did it occur? Did it not occur? Did somebody vote more than once? Did a bunch of dead people vote? Who voted?

Look fellow CB’ers -

As long as there is no requirement for voter identification, then how is it possible to ensure that voting fraud does not take place?

It is high time that we had something in place to ensure that:

  1. you are of voting age
  2. you are a citizen of the United States
  3. you only vote once
  4. you are a real person
  5. you are a living person

So, I challenge anyone to bring to the table a valid argument why voter ID is not a good idea. But of course no such argument exists for the very reasons that I have already so eloquently pointed out.

Thanks for reading, sincerely: Ken the non-politician politician.

obama is killing America

If you were to scan down and look at all the underlined and red marked things on this document you can see how obama has broken most of these and they way he has done it was down right underhanded while increasing the debt setting it up so he looks like he cares making it a nanny state thus killing jobs and tries to take the guns out everyone’s hand in the USA

He stole the second election got his buddy’s set up in DOJ so he can bend the law and no one takes a fall,then places his people in the IRS and now controls who gets taxed and investigated as well as a whole other stuff the IRS has it hand in

As well as the EPA and the DHS buying up millions of hollow point bullets while almost wiping out anyone that makes ammo then he sends some of buddy’s to the NSA so he can use the information to twist people to what he wants

Then he hits the USA with obamacare to control who lives and who dies and anyone that tells him he sucks at his job is called racist and don’t agree with his policies there un American he has also control the news networks well except fox-news and when he couldn’t shut them up he went out and bashed them as he did the republicans and the tea party

Then he also sticks his hand in education common core sold to us on a lie have you ever checked out this stuff out so far to the left it went off the road

With jay carney and harry ried and all the other democrats that were paid off or just so caught up in the bull shit they now think it smells just great.

At any rate Barrack Obama Is The Worst President the USA Ever Had and History will show this...He lies and lies as i was saying look down this document and if you have any insight you will see how many he has broken..

As for you the reader the voter we the people read this ::That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness......

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.-

you would think with everyone connected to the web we could all get together and take him out...oh wait he gave that away too hmm wonder why

The Declaration of Independence: A Transcription

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. 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.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Ladies and gentlemen we are sitting on the brink of what could be the most fateful election in the history of United States of America. Of course I'm looking at this from our current timeline in our current perspective, so I am a bit bias as to just how fateful this election will be. We are currently residing in a country where political correctness has overtaken common sense. We are living in a country where a zero-tolerance policy, in some cases, has been taken to such extremes that idiocy has taken the place of common sense. We are living in a country where the people are beginning to have fear for their own government. We're living in a country where laws are made in past without proper constitutional process. We are living in a country where those very same laws are arbitrarily changed on the whim of one person. We're living in a country where it is dangerous for the individual to speak out against the current administration, even if that speaking out is fully justified and is done under the constraints of the Constitution. We live in a country where our president has literally bowed before another ruler from a foreign country - and that is just unacceptable. We're living in a country where leaders of governmental institutions are claiming the Fifth Amendment while they are being questioned in court. We're living in a country where our leadership make statements like "what does it matter" (paraphrase) – when it comes to the death of Americans in foreign countries. We are living in a country where the federal government is overstepping its constitutional bounds. We're living in a country where we are being told that the government knows better than parents how to: teach our children, raise our children, feed our children, clothe our children, basically take care of our children.
We are living in a country where our freedoms and our civil liberties are being eroded - and yet young stars who are doing moronic things, and other celebrities who are doing moronic things get the lion's share of the media's attention.
But thank God that we still have America. America is… You. America is a hard-working men and women who struggle each day not only to provide for their families, but also to do their civic duty and provide for those around them as well. So, on the upside, we live in a country where Americans are still great. We live in a country where Americans are beginning to realize that their liberties are being eroded, and that the freedoms for which so many men and women have bled suffered and died are in jeopardy of disappearing from this great country. It is time to bring conservatism back to Washington. I'm not talking about the Republican Party, after all there are no R.I.N.O.'s allowed! It is time for leadership with the backbone akin to the founding fathers. No more will we as American standby while our country is usurped from the people and given to the Democrat elite in Washington. It is time for us to stand up, take charge of this country, and clean house in the upcoming elections. I always joke about running for Congress, however if I did have the finances to run for that office - I would.

Are we an ism, a cracy or an archy?

You know, back when I was at the National Training Center in California (NTC - if you've been there you know exactly what I'm talking about) - we were told that if we harmed a desert tortoise that we would be charged (and here the figures varied) right around $50,000. Of course I myself did not see any desert tortoise, I don't know of anyone else who actually saw a desert tortoise, but the threat was still there. So, if indeed the BLM did damage the desert tortoise home, then the BLM should be charged (after a full and complete investigation including armed guards for those during the investigation, a full clean tent enclosure, multiple specialists on the desert tortoise, etc.) for each and every desert tortoise that was in any way harmed by the BLM.

Okay, obviously that's just silly, but look at what the federal government is trying to do in this case. What we have is a federal versus state land dispute. If indeed the BLM did damage that farmer's property and kill his cows then the government of the United States (which would be our tax dollars by the way) should be fully financially responsible for any damage that was done to the farmer's assets. The federal government should actually watch the news - oh wait, never mind this type of news is not reported on any of the big 3 networks. Okay then, the feds should watch Fox news or go to some of the independent news sites and actually see what Americans are doing in the face of this type of nearly fascist (Full Definition of FASCISM: 1 - often capitalized :  a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. 2 -  a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control <early instances of army fascism and brutality — J. W. Aldridge>) administration.

Now those may seem like very extreme words, and something that may be in some people's point of view a little over-the-top, to call our current administration names like totalitarian, aristocracy, autarchy, autocracy, bureaucracy (government by civil servants), foolocracy, hyperarchy, kakistocracy, kleptocracy, snobocracy, squatterarchy, despotocracy, but it is sad that such terminology can even be thought of with the office of the president of the United States in mind.

Rather than those terms wouldn't it be great to look at the United States government and think terms like: aristarchy, capelocracy, democracy, ergatocracy, heroarchy, idiocracy, merocracy, mesocracy, nomocracy, psephocracy (minus the voter fraud), theatrocracy? We are a democratic representative republic, the problem is those who represent us are taking their own interest to heart before ours. Vote for me, and let's start down the road to real recovery towards reclaiming American exceptionalism!

Wanted to take the liberty of sharing the following letter that I recently forwarded to our NM U.S. Senator Tom Udall regarding a Petition for "Return of Government to Our Constitutional Principles":

Letter To Senator Udall:

“April 17, 2014

The Honorable Tom Udall

United States Senate

110 Hart Senate Office Building

Washington, DC 20510-3101

Dear Senator Udall:

On or about March 23, 2014, I sent the following letter to you regarding a “Petition for Return of Government to Our Constitutional Principles”:

“March 23, 2014

Dear Senator Udall,

OPERATION AMERICAN SPRING



Petition for Return of Government to Our Constitutional Principles

As a patriotic citizen, with unwavering faith in our Creator, Whose divine hand guided our founding fathers in composing the United States Constitution, I acknowledge that many in current leadership are willfully violating their Constitutional obligations or are complicit in the actions of others infringing the Rights of the People, including, but not limited to, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, right to bear arms, free and fair elections, right to counsel and due process of law.



Under the rights implicit in our People, as stipulated in the First Amendment, I hereby demand immediate Restoration of our Government under its intended Constitutional Principles, rule of law, freedom and personal liberty, and a return to government "of the people, for the people, by the people", free of despotic and tyrannical federal leadership.



To begin the recovery of our Rightful Government, we demand immediate, lawful, and orderly replacement of the following office holders: Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Nancy Pelosi, and Eric Holder according to the process allowed and stipulated in our Constitution.

Sincerely,

Mr. Jake Martinez”

For your information, I also sent a similar letter to NM U.S. Senator Heinrich and NM U.S. Representative Lujan-Grisham.

On or about April 10, 2014, I received the following letter from your office in response to my letter above:

“April 10, 2014

Dear Mr. Martinez,

Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding the direction of our country. Hearing from you about the important issues facing our nation helps me better serve you in the U.S. Senate.

Please know that I share your frustrations with the current state of the democratic process, and have been working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle trying to find ways to move both this Congress and our country forward. I am committed to fighting for legislation that will help middle class New Mexicans, get our economy back on track, reduce the deficit, and advance our common interests.

We, as a nation, face many challenges, both economic and ideological. However, these challenges can only be met by putting the best interests of our nation ahead of partisan political gain. It is time for Congress to move forward to address the challenges ahead in a bipartisan and responsible manner.

Before I entered Congress in 1998, I had heard stories from my uncle and my father, both of whom served in Congress long before I did, about how Congress operated during their public service careers. They often spoke of the level of bipartisanship, camaraderie, and even friendship amongst members of both parties. I was inspired to serve by their stories. Unfortunately, during the time I have served in Washington, I have been greatly disappointed to see the state of political discourse, camaraderie, and bipartisanship do nothing but decline.

In addition to a general lack of civility that now pervades Congress, I also believe the influence of money in our political campaigns plays a destructive role in our ability to govern reasonably and responsibly. The Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission made this already damaging problem even worse. On January 21, 2010, in a 5-4 ruling, the Court overturned two of their prior rulings to allow governments to restrict corporations and unions from spending their general funds on election advertisements. As it stands now, corporations and unions will be able spend unlimited money to expressly urge a candidate’s election or defeat over a multitude of media outlets. This decision is a step backwards for the American people as it takes political power away from average Americans and puts it more in the hands of special interest groups.

To that end, on June 18, 2013, I introduced a Constitutional Amendment that would allow for real campaign finance reform that reduces the negative influence of money in politics. The Citizens United decision has led me to believe that a Constitutional Amendment is the best long-term solution to reforming our campaign finance system and would prevent the Court from overturning sensible legislation.

In addition to the Constitutional Amendment, I have supported interim legislative efforts to lessen the impact of the Supreme Court’s ruling, including increased disclosure requirements on corporate campaign spending and other efforts to further limit the influence of foreign corporations in the democratic process.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts and concerns about the current state of affairs in Washington. Please know that I am committed to fighting for legislation that will help my constituents in New Mexico and will continue to put the interests of our state and country ahead of political affiliation.

Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with me.  Please feel free to contact me with your concerns regarding any federal issue by visiting my website at www.tomudall.senate.gov.  For more information, you may also visit my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/senatortomudall and receive up to the minute updates through my Twitter page at http://twitter.com/senatortomudall.

Very truly yours, 

Tom Udall


United States Senator”

Senator Udall, although I do appreciate your response to my letter that mostly had to do with the Citizens United decision, I am still extremely concerned about the direction that our country is headed, which I believe is further and further away from our “Constitutional Principles,” along with the corruption that seems to be prevalent amongst most members of Congress.  As a means of making my point I am taking the liberty of sharing the following recent articles and/or blogs and video because I believe that they meticulously lay out my concerns:

The first article and/or blog, reveals the corruption by members of Congress (both Democrat and Republican):

4063860302?profile=originalFOLLOW-UP ON OUR CORRUPT U. S. CONGRESS!-Posted on NewsWithViews.com-By Frosty Wooldridge-On March 28, 2014:

At this time, our U.S. Congress rates a nine percent approval rating. It means nine percent of the American public registers “brain-dead.”

Those 535 members over the past 40 years deformed our nation from the largest creditor country in the world to the largest debtor nation in the world. We enjoyed less than $1 trillion in national debt to our current $18 trillion debt. That same Congress forced our young men and women into four hopeless, futile and asinine wars that killed tens of thousands of them and sent millions home with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, drugs and alcoholism. Not to mention dismembered limbs.

That Congress danced to the Military Industrial Complex’s tune of contrived wars benefiting the bankers and corporations that outfitted and fed those young soldiers. Those executives made millions while our kids came home in coffins or missing arms and legs and their minds.

That same Congress turned our nation from a rich manufacturing country into a multi-trillion dollar deficit nation where we import everything we once manufactured, to today where we buy everything from China to make their citizens rich. So rich, in fact, that we owe them $1.4 trillion in trade deficits. Ironically, China now owns many U.S. corporations and buys land for its own beachhead here in America, not to mention Vancouver, BC, Canada where it displaced most of the Canadians in the past 30 years. Chinese now dominates the language in once-English speaking Vancouver, BC.

That bunch of hot shot Congressional Critters took our vibrant economy and turned it into 15 million unemployed and 48 million food stamp users. Those same reps allowed 20 million illegal alien migrants to come into our country and work for crooked employers like Chipotle’s, Marriot Hotels, Holiday Inns, McDonald’s, Hormel, Tyson Chicken, Swift, painting, landscape and construction firms at minimum wages. They and the presidents that headed this country refused to enforce our laws. That’s why you MUST press “1” for Spanish and “2” for English.

Today, we face enormous consequences from their actions. Yet, U.S. voters return 96 percent of incumbents—such as Harry Reid, Boxer, Feinstein, Hatch, McCain, Kyle, Schumer, Lindsey Graham, Levin, Udall, Bennet, Rangel, Jackson, DeGette and hundreds of other failed Congressional Critters.

So are they stupid or are they corrupt?

One reader named Brad said, “They are not necessarily stupid. It’s just that most of these psychopaths are bought. The wealthy buy their services and they get remuneration by jobs when they leave “service”, by getting to indulge in insider trading (again - was cut out, but quietly reinstated) etc.

“Just allowing insider trading makes EVERY decision with any economic consequence suspect, as they will have a vested personal income interest in helping corporations increase profits by any means. Thus the repeal of clean air and water regulations. They allow oil fracking to use 2 million gallons of water per well, pour over 530 toxic chemicals into the aquifer to poison and ruin it, and remain exempt from EPA oversight.

“Some may not be bought. Some not all the time. The sad fact is that enough ARE compromised that essentially the damages get done consistently.

“Most in office are so stupid (such as California’s Congresswoman Maxine Waters, who is also corrupt in the league with former Congressman Tom Delay of Texas) that they accept stupid, flawed societal paradigms like “what’s good for business is good for America” and we can see how well that’s working out.

“The parasitic wealthy class is stealing record profits in some of the worst working economy in history - why? Because they have the true entitlement society in which they get tax breaks, tax exemptions, no bid contracts, inflated government costs, subsidizations and most likely a ton of things we never hear about. Simply by allowing industry execs into the alphabet organizations like FDA, USDA, etc., allows them to regulate competition to a ridiculously low level, and to leverage their income, influence, and profits at everyone else’s expense.”

The greatest flaw facing all U.S. citizens remains “career politicians” that create a “good-old boy” network of cronyism and corruption.

If we citizens fail to press for a maximum of 12-year term limits, we face a downward spiral into poverty and failed government not seen since the 1930s. The majority of Congress remains corrupt. That’s why things in the USA don’t get better, but continue on the downward path.

Remember: power corrupts; long term power corrupts absolutely.

The second article and/or blog reveals that there is a move lawmakers and farmers are calling “the biggest land grab in the history of the world,” the Environmental Protection Agency is requesting jurisdiction over all public and private streams in the United States that are “intermittent, seasonal and rain-dependent,” to include New Mexico:

4063875227?profile=originalBIGGEST LAND GRAB IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD: ‘Requested EPA authority over streams would ‘freeze’ economy’!-Posted on WND.com-By ALANA COOK-On April 15, 2014:

WASHINGTON – In a move lawmakers and farmers are calling “the biggest land grab in the history of the world,” the Environmental Protection Agency is requesting jurisdiction over all public and private streams in the United States that are “intermittent, seasonal and rain-dependent.”

The EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in late March jointly released a proposed rule, Waters of the United States, in an effort to clarify which streams and wetlands are protected under the Clean Water Act.

A statement issued by the EPA says “the proposed rule will benefit businesses by increasing efficiency in determining coverage of the Clean Water Act.”

But some lawmakers strongly disagree.

According to congressional budget testimony last week, Waters of the United States would give the EPA authority over streams on private property even when the water beds have been dry, in some cases for hundreds of years.

Calling it “the biggest land grab in the history of the world,” House Appropriations Committee Chairman Rep. Harold Rogers, R-Ky., said the “economic impact of that would be profound.”

“A community needing to build on private land that had on it one of these so-called streams that you considered a waterway under the new rule would have to travel thousands, hundreds of miles to D.C., to get approval,” Rogers said.

The congressman argued it “would absolutely freeze economic activity in this country.”

Rogers said the proposal is “proof in and of itself of the mal-intent of this administration toward the private sector.”

Civil liberties

When Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, probed EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy further about how the new Waters of the United States rule would affect Americans’ civil liberties and ability to conduct business, McCarthy was unable to cite specifics.

She said the rule is currently posted on the EPA website for a 90-day commenting period and the scientific basis to support it has not been completed.

The proposed rule tinkers with the definition of “navigable” waters, which was the central point of litigation in a battle between the Supreme Court and the EPA regarding the Clean Water Act.

“We are clarifying protection for the upstream waters that are absolutely vital to downstream communities,” McCarthy said.

“Clean water is essential to every single American, from families who rely on safe places to swim and healthy fish to eat, to farmers who need abundant and reliable sources of water to grow their crops, to hunters and fishermen who depend on healthy waters for recreation and their work, and to businesses that need a steady supply of water for operations.”

Jo-Ellen Darcy, assistant secretary of the Army for civil works, argued the nation’s waters and wetlands “are valuable resources that must be protected today and for future generations.”

“Today’s rulemaking will better protect our aquatic resources, by strengthening the consistency, predictability, and transparency of our jurisdictional determinations,” she said. “The rule’s clarifications will result in a better public service nationwide.”

McCarthy went on to explain that the EPA is working closely with the USDA to further regulate 56 farm practices that are considered exempt under the Clean Water Act.

“We not only took the exemptions, but we developed this interpretive rule that identified 56 farm practices, working with USDA, so that if these farm practices are what you’re doing, you didn’t need to ask a single question about whether they’re exempt,” McCarthy said.

‘Not so friendly’

But lawmakers and farmers express concern that this kind of regulation would allow the EPA in conjunction with the Bureau of Land Management, the Department of Energy and the Army to dictate on a never-before-seen scale everything from grazing rights, food production, animal health and the use of energy on private lands.

“We’re hearing from farm groups throughout the United States about uncertainties regarding agricultural exemptions,” Murkowski said. “They say it’s not so farm-friendly as the statements that have been made by your administration.”

When lawmakers questioned McCarthy on the extent of the regulation’s reach, including who would be fined if the rules are violated and where the money would go, McCarthy could not give a clear answer.

She said only that the scientific study on which the proposed rule is based is still under way.

The third article and/or blog reveals that the federal government’s over-the-top police action against the Bundy family ranch is an ominous portent of more to come, as rogue agencies and their corporate/NGO partners attempt to “cleanse” the West of ranchers, farmers, miners, loggers, and other determined property owners, to include New Mexico:

4063875265?profile=originalWar on the West: Why More Bundy Standoffs Are Coming!-Posted on The New American-By William F. Jasper-On April 15, 2014:

The federal government’s over-the-top police action against the Bundy family ranch is an ominous portent of more to come, as rogue agencies and their corporate/NGO partners attempt to “cleanse” the West of ranchers, farmers, miners, loggers, and other determined property owners.

On Saturday, April 12, the federal bureaucrats backed down. Faced with hundreds of men and women on horseback and on foot who were armed with firearms and video cameras — as well as local television broadcast stations and independent media streaming live video and radio feeds across America — the Obama administration called off the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) operation to confiscate hundreds of cattle belonging to Cliven Bundy, the current patriarch of a respected pioneer family that has been ranching in Nevada’s Clark County since the 1800s.

Supporters from all across the United States had converged on the Bunkerville, Nevada, area in support of Bundy, who is the “last rancher standing” in Clark County, due to a decades-long campaign by federal agencies and allied enviro-activists to drive all ranchers off of the range. After a tense standoff, orders came down from above for the surrounded and outnumbered federal agents to “stand down” and turn loose the Bundy cattle that had been corralled.

On Saturday, before the resolution of the standoff, The New American talked to Richard Mack, the former sheriff of Graham County, Arizona, and founder of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA), as he headed from a meeting of public officials to a press conference at the Bundy Ranch. He was very grave and worried at the time that the situation could spin out of control, and that federal agents might open fire on citizens. He also expressed his exasperation at Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval and Clark County Sheriff Douglass Gillespie. “If Governor Sandoval and Sheriff Gillespie were doing the jobs they were elected to do, they would have stopped this from getting to a dangerous point,” Sheriff Mack said. “There are lots of things they could have done to defuse this situation, including telling the Feds to ‘stand down,’ and to assert their own jurisdiction and force the federal authorities to obey the law, including the Constitution and the laws of the state of Nevada,” he noted. “I have a very bad feeling about this,” he continued, adding that he hoped the tensions would be deescalated and a peaceful outcome negotiated.

Fortunately, most likely due to the national attention that the Bundy situation was receiving, federal officials backed off, the demonstrators and supporters remained peaceful, and a violent confrontation was averted. However, that does not end the affair. Members of the Bundy family and supporters, such as Sheriff Mack, expressed concerns that the evacuation of the federal police force might be a feint, and that there may be plans for them to return the following day, or as soon as the supporters and television crews had departed.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, whose personal financial stake in the Bundy eviction has been calle..., let it be known that he wants to see the matter pursued.

“Well, it’s not over,” Reid told NBC’s Nevada affiliate KRNV on Monday, April 14. “We can’t have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it. So it’s not over.”

Senator Reid, Nevada’s senior senator, is very incensed when the American people, i.e., ordinary citizens, “violate the law” — as he puts it — but he says nothing about the more serious violations of the laws and the Constitution by public officials, such as himself or the BLM officials.

This is the same federal BLM that Chief Judge Robert C. Jones of the Federal District Court of Nevada... had been engaged in a decades-long criminal “conspiracy” against the Wayne Hage family, fellow ranchers and friends of the Bundys. Among other things, Judge Jones accused the federal bureaucrats of racketeering under the federal RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corruption Organizations) statute, and accused them as well of extortion, mail fraud, and fraud, in an effort “to kill the business of Mr. Hage.” In fact, the government’s actions were so malicious, said the judge, as to “shock the conscience of the Court.” Judge Jones granted an injunction against the agencies and referred area BLM and Forest Service managers to the Justice Department for prosecution.

Has Attorney General Eric Holder prosecuted any federal officials for criminal activity and violation of the Hage family’s constitutionally protected rights? No. Has Sen. Harry Reid denounced this lawlessness and criminal activity by government officials and call upon President Obama and Attorney General Holder to protect the citizens of his state from the depredations of federal officials under their command? No.

Huge Federal Footprint: And a Boot on Every Neck

With attitudes such as those expressed above by Sen. Harry Reid, it is almost a certainty that the recently defused Bundy Ranch standoff will be replayed again — and in the not-too-distant future. And the outcome could be much less amicable for all concerned.

And this is but one of many incidents that can be expected, because the Bundy family are not the only victims in the federal crosshairs. The BLM, U.S. Forest Service (USFS), National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and other federal agencies own and/or control hundreds of millions of acres of the 12 western states. The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is not as large a landlord as some of these bigger agencies, but it exercises enormous regulatory clout over both private and public lands, air, and water. And while the EPA’s draconian, arbitrary, and costly regulations affect the entire country, they fall especially hard on the states in the West, where the federal impact is already massive due to the outsized footprint of the federal agencies.

As the accompanying map graphically demonstrates, there is a striking difference between the federal government’s claim to physical real estate in the states of East and the Midwest versus those of the West. In Maine, for instance, federal agencies occupy only 1.1 percent of the state’s land area; in New York it’s a mere 0.8 percent. The federal government claims only 1.8 percent of Indiana, 1.6 percent of Alabama, and 1.7 percent of Ohio. But in the Western states, the federal footprint covers from nearly one-third to over four-fifths of the area of the states.

4063875245?profile=originalHere are the ugly facts of the federal government’s ownership of the lands in the Western states:

Nevada: 84.5 percent


Alaska: 69.1 percent


Utah: 57.4 percent


Oregon: 53.1 percent

Idaho: 50.2 percent


Arizona: 48.1 percent


California: 45.3 percent

Wyoming: 42.4 percent

New Mexico: 41.8 percent


Colorado: 36.6 percent


Washington: 30.3 percent


Montana: 29.9 percent

These and many more relevant statistics can be found in Federal Real Property Report for Fiscal Year 2012 (the latest available) from the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). For instance, in addition to its enormous real estate portfolio, the U.S. Department of Interior (home to BLM, NPS, USFWS) boasts 43,554 buildings covering more than 107.1 million square feet. These agencies, together with the Forest Service, exercise an enormous — and harmful — impact on the economies, livelihoods, and politics of the Western states. And, contrary to the claims of the federal advocates, federal policies are also taking a devastating toll on the environment of the West, most especially as manifested in the destruction of millions of acres of national forests through mismanagement, which has led to immense insect infestations and super-nova wildfires.

Yet, President Obama is following the example of his predecessors and unconstitutionally taking millions more acres in the Western states, under the pretext of protecting “endangered species.” (See: “Specious Endangerment: Obama Awards Spotted Owls 9.6 Million Acres” and “Obama Using ‘Endangered’ Species to Kill Economy, Push Extreme Agenda.”)

Because this has been the “normal” status of things for generations, the enormity and significance of this picture often passes unnoticed and unconsidered by most Americans. But in our current economic crisis, and with mounting friction caused by imperial edicts emanating from federal agencies, many citizens and state and local governments are being forced to reevaluate our unbalanced federal relationship.

Our Founding Fathers did not intend for new territories that would be admitted to statehood in the future to be unfairly shackled by the central government; they would not have countenanced that the people of Nevada, Utah, Idaho, and Alaska, for instance, would be groveling under the thumbs of politicians from New York, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. As Joe Wolverton noted in a recent article for The New American, they intended for future states to be admitted into the Union on a “equal footing” with the existing states. They most certainly did not intend for politicians of the Eastern states and federal bureaucrats to enjoy a stranglehold on the lifeblood of the people of the Western states.

And as those politicians and bureaucrats continue to tighten their chokehold on the people who own and work the land, there will inevitably be conflict. Even peaceful, law-abiding people will not stand idly by while their own life’s work and that of their forebears is being taken by lawless officials. The solution is for the American public to put pressure on all their elected officials — state, local, and federal — to stop strangling our fellow citizens. Ultimately, that means decentralizing, and dramatically downsizing (and then abolishing) many of these agencies and returning the land to the states and the people. The people of the Western states must be allowed to determine their own futures, to enjoy the blessings of liberty, just as Americans in all the other states have experienced.

Do not trust this corrupt government

AMERICANS FOR HONEST GOVERNMENT

Seek the truth – stand by the truth – live the truth.

Our agenda is to establish a government base on the truth and our Christian principles

Wake-up America before is too late. Please forward this to all your friends.

We got the power to reclaim our Christian principles and values to constraint this corrupt government powers and force them to listen to the people.

http://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/north-america/item/17396-u-s-government-and-top-mexican-drug-cartel-exposed-as-partners

The U.S. Dept. Of Justice, the DEA, CIA, and FBI linked in the killing and drug addition of thousands of Americans and Mexicans nationals. The Bush and Obama administrations let the Sinaloa cartel import tons of drugs into the United States while wiping out Sinaloa competitors and ensuring that its leaders would not be prosecuted for their long list of major crimes. Other revelations also point strongly that for many years the Bush and Obama administrations let the Sinaloa cartel import tons of drugs into the United States, ensuring that its leaders would not be prosecuted for their long list of major crimes. Other revelations also point strongly to massive but clandestine U.S. government involvement in drug trafficking.  Supposedly without the knowledge or approval of officials in Mexico, ICE and DEA, with a green light from Washington, D.C., made deals with criminal bosses allowing them to avoid prosecution for a vast crime spree that has included mass murder, corruption, bribery, drug trafficking, extortion, and more. In exchange, cartel leaders simply had to help U.S. officials eliminate their competitors  certainly a win-win scenario for crime bosses who prefer to operate without competition or fear of prosecution. Also part of the U.S. government deal with Sinaloa, analysts and Zambada-Niebla have said, was the Obama administration’s “Fast and Furious” gun-running program to arm Mexican cartels at U.S. taxpayer expense. Most recently, a whistleblower from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) said that U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, killed with a Fast and Furious gun, was murdered by criminals working for the FBI. “It is clear that some of the weapons were deliberately allowed by the FBI and other government representatives to end up in the hands of the Sinaloa Cartel,” stated a motion filed in U.S. court by Zambada-Niebla’s defense team, adding that the U.S. government has documents showing that the weapons were provided by authorities pursuant to the agreement with Sinaloa.

We have rested on the supposed “laurels” of American Democracy and human justice for many years, but the sociopath and psychopaths that we place in our government forgot our true history and Christian principles and become puppets of this corrupt system of predators of humanity that kill thousands and enslave the world community. Their agenda is to get the power to control humanity by any means.

Fellow Christians believe and have faith, GOD IS ON OUR SIDE. This war is for freedom and our God given rights against evil and now it’s finally on this generation to correct the lethal course they put us on.  We either destroy the federal government or get destroyed by it.  God will give us the wisdom and courage to reclaim our Christian principles and values. Our country needs us to be united as one and destroy the traitors. Our loyalty is to our country and the people, not to the President, the politicians or the arm forces, not one should obey any orders that are not in agreement with our constitution, the rule of law or our Christian values, they plan to destroy us; do not trust this corrupt government. I pray for our unity, 80% of us Christians must stand united, we have apparently made it to the point of return; our Christian community said. “No more government corruption, no more Christian persecution in the USA, No more lies. No more cover-ups. No more killings of Americans. No more spying on Americans. No more economy slavery. No more predator corporatism. No more military interventions. No more collusion. Enough is enough."

By John W. Lillpop


Baseball legend Hank Aaron gained fame and fortune with quick, powerful wrists and precise timing which enabled him to react to a baseball hurled at 100 MPH, often crushing the ball out of the park. In 1974, Aaron broke the home run record of Babe Ruth; Aaron’s record has since been supplanted by Barry Bonds with a big assist from steroids.

Regrettably, Aaron took his eye off the ball recently to engage in a bit of race-baiting against Republicans.

As reported:

The firestorm erupted after 80-year-old Aaron, the senior vice president of the Braves, said in an interview with USA Today that America today is "not that far removed" from the racial intolerance of the mid-20th century.

On the 40th anniversary of his home-run record, he said, "Sure, this country has a black president, but when you look at a black president, President Obama is left with his foot stuck in the mud from all of the Republicans with the way he's treated. The bigger difference is that back then they had hoods. Now they have neckties and starched shirts."

Referring to current race relations in the country, he added, "We have moved in the right direction, and there have been improvements. But we still have a long ways to go in the country."

To prove his point, Aaron cited the decrease in U.S.-born black baseball players as evidence of modern-day structural racism.

There are only 67 black players in the major leagues, with three teams not represented by a single African-American player: the San Francisco Giants, Arizona Diamondbacks and St. Louis Cardinals, according to USA Today.”
 So, Republicans are responsible for the fact that there are only 67 black players in the big leagues, and that the number of blacks has decreased?
POLL: Will Lois Lerner go to jail to protect Obama?

And it’s OK to blame the GOP for the fact that the San Francisco Giants, with a long and stories history of employing black superstars such as Barry Bonds, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, et al.,  has no black players on its roster at the present time?

Shame on you, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell!

Just where is black Attorney General, Eric Holder, when you need him?  Covering up his complicity in the IRS scandal, or attacking Voter ID laws and other measures taken to prevent voter fraud?

Let Aaron’s cry be a Clarion call to Holder and the US Congress: We must have an investigation to determine why there only 67 black players in baseball!

Let guilty GOP members be perk- walked off the floors of the US House and Senate to send a strong message: Having only 67 black ball players in the big leagues is unacceptable and possibly unconstitutional. These human rights violations may require black president Barack Obama to issue Executive Orders to bring equality and justice to America’s past time!

Perhaps Holder and Barack could also take a cursory look at the National Basketball Association where blacks represent 90 % of the affiliated players?  Or would that be racist?

Another Military Dismissal

Subject: Fw: Another Military Dismissal                                                                                               Lt. Col Matthew Dooley, a West Point graduate and highly  decorated combat veteran,  was an instructor at the Joint Forces Staff College at the National Defense University.  He had 19 years of service and experience, and was considered one of the most highly qualified military instructors on Radical Islam & Terrorism. He taught military students about the situations they would encounter, how to react, about Islamic culture, traditions, and explained the mindset of Islamic extremists. Passing down first hand knowledge and experience, and teaching courses that were suggested (and approved) by the Joint Forces Staff College. The course, "Perspectives on Islam and Islamic Radicalism", which was suggested and approved by the Joint Forces Staff College, caught the attention of several Islamic Groups, and they wanted to make an example of him.  They collectively wrote a letter expressing their outrage, and the Pro-Islamic Obama Administration was all too happy to assist. The letter was passed to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Martin Dempsey. Dempsey publicly degraded and reprimanded Dooley, and Dooley received a negative Officer Evaluation Report almost immediately (which he had aced for the past 5 years). He was relieved of teaching duties, and his career has been red-flagged “He had a brilliant career ahead of him. Now, he has been flagged.” Richard Thompson, Thomas More Law Center "All US military Combatant Commands, Services, the National Guard Bureau, and Joint Chiefs are under Dempsey's Muslim Brotherhood-dictated order to ensure that henceforth, no US military course will ever again teach truth about Islam that the jihadist enemy finds offensive, or just too informative." Former CIA agent Claire M. Lopez (about Lt. Col. Dooley)..." The Obama Administration has demonstrated lightning speed to dismiss military brass that does not conform to it's agenda, and not surprisingly, nobody is speaking up for Lt. Col. Dooley. Col. Dooley has now been added to the 9 generals the Obama administration has summarily dismissed for no other reason than they are great American military citizens." IT'S A SAD DAY FOR THIS COUNTRY WHEN GOOD LOYAL MEN LIKE THIS GET THROWN UNDER THE BUS BECAUSE NOBODY HAS THE COURAGE TO STAND UP! Share this if you would.  Let’s bring some attention to this.

I am New Member, but as a Daughter of The American Revolution (DAR) it is my duty to protect my country and to defend it against all enemies.  I believe in The Constitution for the united states of America (Original) and The Bill of Rights.  Therefore, in a Petition for We The People on the White House Petitions site, I have created two Petitions.  One is to have the Obama Administration EXAMINE Property Rights.... and Confirm.  The second is an idea of my own taken from my Research of how and why the European Court of Human Rights was established.  At first it was a COMMISSION before it became a Court.  It grew out of THE NUREMBURG TRIALS held in Nuremburg, Germany in about 1954.  HUMAN RIGHTS in many European Countries became a Prime Issue and so The Commission in France found itself addressing issues from many States and citizens in Europe.  The States became members and anyone from those States could present their claim through Application to the Commission.  Later, the Court was founded. 

It seems to have worked out well.  So, I had the idea that if Europe could have a Court of Human Rights, why not the United States and include Canada and Mexico and call it The North American Court of Human Rights.  We do have a Commission on Human Rights in the United States, but it needs to expand into being a Court and include The Americans on the North American Continent.

We have had a great many Human Rights issues and they need to be addressed in a proper Court, that's why I created the Petition.

I welcome your Comments and ideas.  For those of you who feel these Petitions deserve your signature, and support your views, you are invited to read and sign them.

Having spent the last 4 years studying this issue and placing over 245 pictures and documented text in a book www.cph-books.com I can tell you for a fact that every problem we have in this country could be eliminated if we address the CORE problem.  WHAT IS IT? We, the American citizens are paying interest for the use of our own currency that we already own.  In 1913 the Fed was formed by a group of wealthy elitist that didn't want America to "BLOW PAST" the rest of the world economically.  The European Investment houses had all but enslaved europe's citizens with interest bearing bonds that came about as a result of these countries not owning their own currency.  America was different.  The only way to protect their wealth was to form a private system (The Fed) which could treat America as a private corporation and legally charged the citizens interest for the use of their own currency.  This would slow down America's growth, increase the National debt, and divert America's wealth from the citizens to themselves.  People must understand that we can reverse this by simply demanding (thru e-mails) that the FED be NATIONALIZED.  Once it becomes an official branch of the U.S. Gov, Interest is no longer charged for the use of something we already own.  A small example:  If the Gov currently constructs a project costing 1 Million $, the final total for this will be around 2.3 Million because of the interest.  Please get informed.  Go to the above website...you can get the entire, full color book, on Amazon kindle for only 9.00....IT IS OUR ONLY SOLUTION to save this country !!!!

The Bureau of Land Management’s siege of the Bundy Ranch in Nevada compels me to re-publish this post. I ask readers to carefully research this issue and to decide for yourself whether or not the federal government has violated public trust and the Rule of Law.

For a painfully long time now, our federal masters and their judicial enablers have ignored and, to my way of thinking, flagrantly violated the Constitution with impunity. All too often, Supreme Court rulings have served to override common sense, constitutionality and original intent.

And so long as black-robed, unelected and unaccountable judicial oligarchs, aka judges–as well as the submissive states themselves–allow “judicial supremacy” to trump “constitutional supremacy” on a whole host of foundational constitutional issues, our economic growth will be hobbled, our liberties diminished, state sovereignty further degraded, constitutional order imperiled, common sense and Rule of Law abandoned.

To wit, per Art 1.8.17 of the Constitution and provisions of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, and despite a veritable cesspool of clubby, contrived and revisionist court rulings over the years through which I was barely able to wade, it appears glaringly obvious to me that our federal overseers are occupying millions of otherwise productive acres within the several states without the “concurrence” of those states and without constitutional justification.

Article 1.8.17 (“Enclave Clause”) granted power to Congress “to exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such district (not exceeding ten miles square) as may, by cession of particular states, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States [i.e. the District of Columbia], and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the state in which the same shall be for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings.” Crystal-clear what the original meaning is here despite the shamelessly self-serving litany of subsequent spin on the part of our judicial overlords, lap dogs of the federal government.

POLL: Will Lois Lerner go to jail to protect Obama?

Clearly this clause meant that the people of the states empowered Congress to exercise complete jurisdiction and authority over all lands or facilities purchased within a state, provided it was with the consent of the legislature of that state, and that such lands would be used for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dock yards, and other needful buildings.” Clearly implied in this clause is that the several states, the immediate fiduciary agents of the people, reserve the right to assume title to all lands within their borders which are not being used by the federal government for the specific purposes provided in the clause, that being “the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dock yards, and other needful buildings.”

It is also important to note that nowhere in the Constitution is the federal government granted the enumerated power of complete jurisdiction and authority over state territory; thus, state retention and ownership of public lands stems from the 10th Amendment which reserves all rights to the states which are not specifically granted to Congress. The twisted and carefully crafted Delphic court rulings notwithstanding, the original meaning seems abundantly clear to me.

Art 4.3.1 allowed a mechanism for the formation and admission of new states into the union, and Art 4.3.2 described the extent of congressional authority over federal territory within those states. Subsequently, the Supreme Court ruled that federal property applies only to the territory at the time of the Constitution’s adoption and is considered public land only until that territory is granted statehood and the national debt incurred by the Revolutionary War is paid. In other words, temporary federal control over those lands.

In accordance with the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which was re-enacted after the Constitution’s ratification, all new states were to be admitted to the union on the basis of full equality with the original thirteen states. It was generally understood that as territories were granted statehood, the people of those states would acquire title to all lands within their state boundaries—except, of course, those lands granted to the feds for those well-defined purposes cited in Art 1.8.17.

To help pay down the national debt, Congress assured the states of full title to those lands not used for federally sanctioned purposes when that land was sold off. The following then became the established policy for new states:

1. The feds would retain all ungranted public lands.

2. The feds guaranteed that it would dispose of these lands as soon as possible.

3. The new state would acquire jurisdiction over these lands as fast as they were sold to private individuals.

4. States would be admitted on the basis of “equal footing” with the original 13 states (each of which retained complete ownership/control over their respective territories.

As a result, all states east of the Mississippi and those comprising the Louisiana Purchase eventually acquired title to all but a very small portion of the land lying within their state boundaries.

However, following our war with Mexico, Congress inexplicably digressed from this policy and virtually eliminated the sale or disposal of federal lands in the western states. This resulted in Congress’s retaining major portions of those state lands, this in seemingly direct contravention of the Constitution and of the Northwest Ordinance. Essentially, the federal government became the sole owner and manager of nearly 30%, or a whopping 650 million acres, of America’s landmass, for the constitutionally unspecified purposes of maintaining national forests, national parks, national monuments, Indian reservations, coal and oil reserves, lands leased to farmers and ranchers, and resources-rich so-called “wilderness areas”. And, of course, the cost to taxpayers for maintaining the sprawling federal bureaucracy in order to manage these federally controlled lands is in the billions of dollars.

Federal defenders of this overreach breathlessly point to the so-called “property clause” (Art 4.3.2) which provides that “Congress shall have power to dispose of and make any needful rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the United States and any territory or property belonging to the United States.” Clearly, doesn't this create a convenient constitutional ambiguity by contradicting the original intent of Art 1.8.17? Does this not exact restrictions on the western states, which had never been imposed on earlier states? So much for states being admitted into the union on “equal footing” and “full equality” with earlier states. Is federal retention of 30% of America’s real estate really a “necessary and proper” exercise of federal powers? For me to believe that would require a willful suspension of common sense.

To give you an idea of how much state land is now imperially held by the feds, check this out: NV 85%, AL 70%, UT, 60%, OR 53%, AZ 47%, CA 45%, WY 42%, NM 42%, CO 37%, and poor Alaska 96%! Note: 65% of federal land holdings are located west of the Mississippi and a paltry 1% of all federally controlled land in the country is currently being utilized for those specific purposes cited in Art 1.8.17. One must wonder why these lands are still being held by the feds. Pay off the Revolutionary War debt? Gee, I don’t think so. Lofty, if not entirely contrived, constitutional justifications? Or, more likely, the relentless federal grasp for power and, today, a way to placate a host of environmental allies by denying the states and the country access to those climate-warming pollutants such as oil and gas.

Regarding the Enclave Clause, James Madison stated that “the public money expended on such places, and the public property deposited in them, require that they should be exempt from the authority of the particular State. Nor would it be proper for the places on which the security of the entire Union may depend to be in any degree dependent on a particular member of it. All objections and scruples are here also obviated by requiring the concurrence of the States concerned in every such establishment.” But, have the courts sought the concurrence of the states? Nope.

Clearly, the federal government is occupying millions of acres without the “concurrence” of those states, but maintains their grip with the twisted and self-serving judicial sanction of federal Courts intent upon expanding and strengthening federal power.

So, what is the recourse of the several states? My opinion, which is shared by many other originalists, is that in keeping with the doctrine of state sovereignty, original intent and the 10th Amendment, states should simply legislatively assume title of all lands not being utilized by the federal government as specified in the Enclave Clause. Of course, to placate the courts and public opinion, states should first sue the federal government to acquire title. And since the states will not prevail in such a lopsided judicial struggle, they should then rightfully and unhesitatingly assert their 10th Amendment rights by immediately assuming direct ownership and control of what I have dubbed the “royal federal reserves” lying within their state boundaries.

But, do the chastened, weak-kneed, and heavily bribed states have the backbone to hazard the restoration of their constitutional sovereignty and honor? Ah, yes, that’s the burning question.

The constitutional issue aside for a moment, in truth the achievement of energy independence alone should provide ample motivation for the states and their people to step up and take back their land, which is illegally held by the feds. And should the states fail to assert their rights under the original constitution, they should quietly accept their bondage and compliantly move on with their drab, submissive lives.

4063876303?profile=originalAfter California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein’s legislation introduced in Congress last year, which would have imposed the biggest gun ban in American history failed, you would figure she would have tucked her tail between her hairy thighs and moved on to some other worthless legislation sure to fail. But not this old dog, she is determined to remove the 2nd Amendment from the American people’s rights.

Feinstein is circulating a letter on Capitol Hill calling once again for a ban on semi-automatic rifles and asking for President Barack Obama to keep his State of the Union promise to make 2014 a “year of action.”

    Dear Mr. President:

    During your State of the Union address, you stated that you want to make 2014 a “year of action.”  We write to urge you to take immediate action to address the significant number of assault weapons that are being imported into the United States in contravention of federal law.  We respectfully request that you take steps to ensure that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) fully enforces the ban on the importation of these military-style firearms.    

    A provision of the Gun Control Act of 1968, codified at 18 U.S.C. § 925(d)(3), prohibits the importation of firearms that are not “generally recognized as particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes.”  In recent years, however, importers of firearms have taken advantage of ATF’s interpretation of the “sporting purposes” test to evade the import ban.  In 1998, the Department of the Treasury — which then housed ATF — issued guidance that interpreted the import ban to prohibit only semiautomatic rifles that use magazines originally designed for a military rifle.  Many semiautomatic firearms on the market today do not have a military origin but are modeled closely after military firearms.  These military-style firearms are not prohibited under the current import ban, even though they are functionally equivalent to prohibited rifles with a military origin.  In addition, the Treasury Department’s 1998 guidance allows foreign-made firearms to be imported into the United States without military features, even though these firearms have the capacity to fire multiple times in quick succession without the need to reload and can easily have military features attached.


POLL: Will Lois Lerner go to jail to protect Obama?


Sen. Feinstein’s diatribe against the 2nd Amendment continues in a long and nauseating attack that would unfortunately make everyone sick if the entire letter were placed here. In short, she is asking our President to do what he has done some many times before – make an executive order to ban the firearms that keep America safe from an overbearing government.

What amazes me is how this beastly woman can still be in office? Does anyone really listen to what she is saying? In 2013 Feinstein said all veterans have PTSD and should have their Second Amendment stripped. She may be even further left than the President himself!

Even the admittedly liberal newspaper, The Los Angeles Times printed an article by – Columnist Burt Prelutsky, where he may have given the best quote about the Senators from California ever.

“Frankly, I don’t know what it is about California, but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office. I’m not bragging, you understand, but no other state, including Maine, even comes close. When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington, we’re Number One. There’s no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, Maxine Waters, and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on ‘Macbeth’. The four of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of blab. You don’t know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form words…”

Seriously folks, if the left wing main stream media is ridiculing their own, how are we supposed to take them seriously?

Is It Time For the 2nd American Revolution?

4063876367?profile=original

The motto MOLON LABE (come and take them) can be seen from state to state. Militias have grown by at least eight times their size since 9/11. The writing has been on the wall for years, the people of America have awakened. A spark is all it would take to ignite the next American Revolution.

The government has languished in their corruption without fear of reprisal as far back as the Clinton administration (probably farther), when the White Water scandal threatened to ruin our standing President and his wife, any potential witness either disappeared or found themselves the victim of an untimely death. Since then, our government has only become bigger and more oppressive, due largely in part to the ratification of the Patriot Act.

The citizens of America have had their rights not only limited, but potentially changed, a Supreme Court ruling recently has decide to revise the term ‘Right’ to ‘Privilege’ in a landmark case on 2nd Amendment Rights. This decision could alter all of our rights to privileges.  The founding Fathers explained that we were given these rights from God, not man, and no man can take them from us.

As this is being written, there is a potentially explosive scenario playing out in a little town in Southern Nevada. The Bureau of Land Management has taken on rancher Cliven Bundy over his cattle free grazing on Federal land without paying a grazing fee. The Bundy family has owned that land since 1887 and has always free grazed their cattle there.
