"DHS to intensify attacks on

freedom oriented citizens"

Within the last two weeks several tips came into the Examiner indicating pending dangers to certain groups of citizens. These tips led to a source who, speaking on condition of anonymity, alleges that just after the election a major initiative will be launched against citizens whose values are diametrically opposite to that of Barack Obama and the current Washington elitist leadership in Congress. According to the source, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will greatly intensify its attacks on freedom oriented citizens.

The source indicated that the those within DHS and the rest of the Obama Administration who support a massive crackdown on the liberties of citizens are ready to make a dramatic move once the midterm elections in November are over. These particular government employees, particularly those at the top levels, believe that Christians, Tea Party participants, and those who support the Constitution and oppose Obama and his "progressive" agenda are dangerous and need to be subjected to a purge.

This purge would be in the form of prosecution through the courts. The objective would be to silence their voices and remove them from society by tossing them into prison where they could spend years and a ton of money attempting to get out of jail and defend their reputations. The "progressives" in the administration and Congress believe that the lame duck period just after the November midterm elections is the time to move swiftly to get these things done. Obama doesn't have to face reelection. And if the internal polling being done by both Democrats and Republicans is true, the Democrats will be forced into minority status in the Senate in addition to the House. Thus, in the two months after the election prior to the time when the new Congress is sworn in in January of 2015, a golden opportunity exists for the "progressive" elitist tyrants to make their move. After all, they have nothing to lose.

Although the tip concerning this information came within the last two weeks, the publication of it was on hold until more verification could be received. That verification came today in an article written by colleague David Codrea, who is the National Gun Rights Examiner.

Shortly after the election of Barack Obama, it became all too clear that DHS intended to lay the foundation for a massive purge of Christians and liberty oriented citizens. Internal memos were discovered that referred to these citizens as "potential homegrown terrorists." The objective was to crank up the propaganda machine in an effort to malign, demonize, and ruin the reputations of otherwise good citizens so that eventually it would be easier to persecute and prosecute them without running too far afield of public opinion.

In 2012 the Examiner received at least one document from DHS that listed the various categories of citizens that would be deemed as "potential homegrown terrorists." This document is one of the most important, but as you will see, it has been revised to include an apologetic to counteract the heavy criticism the report received. DHS used this report to compile its policy on "potential homegrown terrorists."

But not once was Islamic extremists mentioned. Those whom DHS mentioned specifically is very telling -- Ron Paul supporters, gun owners and gun rights activists, those who promote the Constitution as the final rule of law, U.S. war veterans returning home from overseas, those who support the right of Israel to exist, evangelical Christians and others who are pro-life and who believe the Bible and take it seriously, Tea Party activists, conservative voters who take to the streets to march or to demonstrate in opposition to high taxes, runaway government spending, Obamacare, and other programs of the "progressives" in the current administration. Michelle Malkin provided this report on the issue at the time.

So controversial were these DHS pronouncements that angry citizens began calling their elected representatives. When it became clear that this mindset at DHS may become a political liability for Democrats seeking election or reelection, the agency backed off its public statements concerning "potential homegrown terrorists." It did not help matters for the elitists that a series of high profile terrorist actions, conducted by Islamic extremists, made the news and only confirmed in the minds of most Americans that DHS had its eye on all of the wrong people. While they were watching us "conservative Christians clinging to our guns and Bibles," the Islamo-fascists were busy at work behind the scenes planning a resurgence. And now, at least half of what our men and women in the military fought for, and gave their lives for, have fallen back into the hands of Islamic extremists who behead their opposition. Not only does this denote a failed Obama foreign policy but it clearly demonstrates that the current administration does not care about the spread of extremist Islam. They had rather go after ordinary citizens who disagree with their warped view of the world.

Against that backdrop, David Codrea reports that DHS issued a report Friday that once again places the spotlight on an odd group of people to be tracking -- ordinary U.S. citizens who once again are being tarred and feathered verbally as "potential homegrown terrorists." This time, however, their specific target is U.S. gun owners, 99 percent of whom never use their firearms to commit crimes.

DHS tipped its hand when it cited as a basis for its report the discredited and dangerous Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which never saw a gun owner it did not hate nor a conservative Christian it did not view as deranged. This organization is a million times worse than anything Joe McCarthy did in the Senate in the 1950s when he warned that Communists had infiltrated the U.S. government. They had. And his charges were confirmed when the old KGB was forced to open its books after the demise of the old Soviet Union, and the new Russian president Boris Yeltsin ordered that those secret records be made public. It turns out that McCarthy was 95 percent correct. But the SPLC can claim no such accuracy. They have maligned and falsely charged a plethora of individuals as "racists" or "anti-government extremists" with absolutely no basis upon which to issue such a charge.

Codrea notes that one of the incidents that SPLC is now using to malign gun owners is the standoff at the Bundy Ranch. Not only did SPLC get many of its facts wrong but it claims that supporters of Bundy prove that they are dangerous homegrown extremists who wish to attack the government. Many gun owners went to the Bundy Ranch to provide protection for Bundy as dozens of government snipers took aim at the Bundy family, ready to blow them all away. Thus, they were there to protect a fellow citizen from government snipers who apparently were ready to initiate another Ruby Ridge or Waco.

Apparently SPLC is oblivious to the possibility that citizens can support the right of a fellow citizen to keep and bear arms and have control over his property without supporting all of that citizen's political views. Bundy's views may be problematic for many gun owners, but that does not prevent us from protecting his right to be on that property and to keep and bear arms.

In spite of its dubious agenda, SPLC was used as an important source for Friday's report issued by DHS. This does not bode well for the next step. If the anonymous source mentioned above is correct, this is all a precursor to massive government action to silence all of the administration's most effective critics.

I have told many people, "One doesn't have to have a friend in order to be one.". 

Too bad Pres. Obama doesn't understand this.  He definitely has not been a friend to this nation.

Have you ever heard of "Constitutional Convention"?  Most people haven't but most people have heard about "Prohibition" and that it was over turned.  "Constitutional Convention" was responsible for this and it was the only and last time "Constitutional Convention" has ever been used.

One method the U.S. Congress uses to pass laws is through  "Joint Resolution" .

This joint resolution "must" be submitted to the floor of the "Senate" or the "House", from a committee "or" through"Constitutional Convention".

Constitutional Convention is a direct path that, "We The People" rarely use to influence the laws or over turn Laws made on Capital Hill by amendment of the U.S. Constitution.  For example, as mentioned before, the last time Constitutional Convention was used was to over turn "prohibition".  Though the U.S. congress takes credit for over turning Prohibition, it was actually the collective efforts of the people that did it. This power of the people is a well kept secret for a reason and I know you can guess why.

Constitution Convention is the authority platform of the people in which "We The People" can require and force U.S. Congress to put forth a joint resolution for a vote and amend the U.S. Constitution to enact or overturn any law of the land and the President is powerless to "Veto" it.

Even as you read this email, a propositon for a "joint resolution" to amend the U.S. constitution to define marriage to be the union of one man and one woman has remained stagnated, unrecognized and unapproved by the House Judicial Committee for over a year and half.  It was submitted approximately April of 2010 and in November 2010 the first indications of over turning the Defense of Marriage Act(DOMA) was announced.  The House Judiciary Committee is controlled by Liberal Democrats.

A Constitutional Convention, which is the collective proclamation and efforts of two thirds of all state legislatures, would force the "House Judicial Committee" to put forth a joint resolution concerning an amendment to the U.S. constitution to be voted on defining marriage as between one man and one woman.  This is just one example of the untold scope of authority "We The People" actually do have and must find a way to excericse if this country is to prevent a continual decline of morality,traditional values,true equality and prosperity for "all" people

With your help of forwarding this to your friends and a collective effort from the Tea Party grass roots, "We The People" can once again,declare freedom from tryranny.

Please forward this to all regions Tea Party Commanders for consideration.

Thank you.

A personal value system is a set of principles or

ideals that drive and/or guide your behavior.

Your personal value system gives you structure

and purpose by helping you determine what is

meaningful and important to you.

It helps you express who you are and what you

stand for. If you are unaware of, or become

disconnected with your values, you end up

making choices out of impulse or instant

gratification rather than on solid reasoning

and responsible decision-making. Your values

define your character .

They impact every aspect of your life including

personal and work behaviors, your interactions

with family, friends and co-workers; your

decision-making processes and the direction

you take in life. This is why it is so important

to know what you value and what is

important to you.

Four Categories of a Personal Value System

Personal Values - Personal values are those traits

we see as worth aspiring to, and that define our

character.

Spiritual Values - The values that connect us to

a higher power and give us a sense of purpose

beyond our material existence.

Family Values - To love and care for those we

are close to; our children, our parents, other family

members, and our friends.

Career Values - The best use and expression of

our talents and skills for the purposes of contributing

to society and for monetary compensation.

Which values do we as social beings find

desirable?

No matter what tradition we are brought up in, there

are characteristics we value in others which transcend

social, economic and religious boundaries. Some of

these characteristics are:

Integrity

Integrity is trustworthiness, honesty and uprightness

of character. We value people of integrity because we

know what to expect from them. We know they will act

honorably and that they will do what they think is right.

We want people with integrity as our friends, on our

teams and in our organizations.

Respect

Respect is honoring the worth and dignity of all

people. Those who respect others treat them with

fairness and courtesy. They treat others the way

they themselves wish to be treated.

Loyalty

Loyalty is a commitment and faithfulness to a

person or cause. Those who are loyal to their

family, friends, organizations and country stand

behind and support them during good times and

bad times. They can be counted on to be there

when the going gets difficult and to help out

when the chips are down.

Responsibility

Those who accept responsibility are reliable,

dependable and willing to take accountability

for who they are and what they do. They believe

they have a moral obligation to help others

and to make a contribution to the society

they live in.

No matter what values we choose live by, it

is vital that we look at the big picture, assess

what we want our role to be, and map out

how we intend to conduct our lives.
