OBAMA IS FORMALLY AND CRIMINALLY CHARGED WITH TREASON, BY THE U.S. MILITARY, AGAIN!
By Jag Hunter
Nov 8th 2012
Nov 8th 2012
This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is perhaps, the end of the beginning.”.
-Sir Winston Churchill speaking on 9 November 1942
The latest formal criminal complaint naming OBAMA in TREASON was filed this morning at 1131 hours local (11: 31 a.m. EST).
The TREASON complaint is copied below for your convenience.

Now, as is assiduously, urgently importuned since 17 March 2009 it is going to take a very large number of people, acting in groups and in a coordinated way, to advance this formal criminal complaint naming OBAMA in TREASON so as to take effect. Individuals must file individual complaints in the same way this complaint was administered. Then the individual complaints must be collected up and submitted in mass everywhere possible across the United States. OBAMA can and must be removed from his residence in the White House as a common thug, punk street wise criminal. I’m not talking impeachment, I’m talkin’ ’bout OBAMA being taken down as any other accused felon. It can be accomplished if enough people get behind the effort in a way that soars over any gathering or group action before. FIND A WAY OR MAKE ONE!DO IT NOW!
HERE ENDTH THE LESSON!

Thursday, 8 November 2012 – 70th Anniversary OPERATION TORCH – World War II Northwest Africa – Casablanca
From: Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III United States Navy Retired
To:
- Robert Swan Mueller, III, Director – Federal Bureau of Investigation, Washington D.C. (ORIGINAL)
- The Foreman of the two sitting Federal Grand Juries sitting in Knoxville, Tennessee via William C. Killian, U.S. Attorney for Tennessee’s Easter District
SUBJECT: FORMAL CRIMINAL COMPLAINTS NAMING BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IN COMMISSION
OF TREASON
1. OBAMA represents a clear and present danger to U.S. national security, to the U.S. Constitution and to our Republican form of government. OBAMA IS A FOREIGN BORN DOMESTIC ENEMY! OBAMA is working assiduously to destroy America! No document record exists showing Barack Hussein OBAMA to be a United States citizen.
2. OBAMA paid money and aided and abetted Al-Qaeda members and groups that attacked Americans on U.S. territory in Benghazi, Libya on 11 and 12 September 2012. Al-Qaeda is the jihadist terrorist organization that attacked the United States on 11 September 2001.
3. Pro-jihadist and Islamist OBAMA personally denied frantic cries for help from Americans in mortal danger throughout a 7-hour attack by approximately 150 heavily armed known jihadists. OBAMA watched four Americans die in real time. OBAMA is allowing our enemies to slaughter our servicemen piecemeal at the same time ordering our troops to disarm.
4. OBAMA lies to the American people about his TREASON with every opportunity. OBAMA is lying to the American people about the 11-12 September attack in Benghazi, Libya in a cover story intended to protect OBAMA from facing a criminal prosecution and conviction.
5. OBAMA is personally responsible for OBAMA the 6 August 2011 shoot-down of an Army CH-47D Chinook helicopter in Afghanistan. 17 Navy SEALS died. All 5 men of the Chinook crew died. 3 Air Force special tactics airmen died. 5 men of a Navy support force died. OBAMA and his gang of outlaws lie to the America people about that.
6. In commission of TREASON In commission OBAMA is engaged in purchasing and supplying guns, heavy weapons, high-powered munitions and explosives to foreign aggressors—AMERICA’S ENEMIES—around the globe. OBAMA has and continues to ship weapons from Libya to Syria through Turkey. Some weapons may be being directly shipped to Syria. Christopher Stevens was OBAMA’s point man of this operation when Stevens was murdered in Benghazi during the attack of 11-12 September 2012. In this TREASON OBAMA is arming America’s enemies: Al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood connected Syrian rebels.
7. As an Act of TREASON OBAMA provides safe-haven and sanctuary to those bent on the destruction of the United States, its people, and its form of government. OBAMA encourages, facilitates and arms our enemies to carry out a WAR on the United States from enemy bases set up in the homeland and around the globe. OBAMA aids and abets these known enemy forces to establish and strike from strongholds OBAMA allows established on American soil.
8. OBAMA refuses to pledge his allegiance to the United States.OBAMA conspires with leaders of countries, groups and organizations bent upon the destruction of America. By so doing OBAMA engages in TREASON against the United States in every aspect of TREASON.
9. As an Act of TREASON OBAMA broke into and occupies the White House by force of contrivance, concealment, conceit, dissembling and deceit. OBAMA is an undocumented illegal alien and spy. Posing as an imposter president and commander-in-chief OBAMA strips civilian command and control over the military establishment. Known military criminal actors—command racketeers such as Martin Dempsey—are free in the exercise of an extra-military government intent upon the destruction of our Republican, constitutional form of governance. There are dozens of senior military commanders no more obedient to the United States Constitution than is OBAMA.
10. OBAMA is joined in his TREASON by a raft of civilian criminal assistants too numerous to name in this submission. I leave it to the Grand Jury, in the conduct of an independent, autonomous, and unfettered investigation, to assign specificity and particularity to the list of OBAMA’S co-conspiring outlaws.
11. OBAMA is a FOREIGN BORN DOMESTIC ENEMY, an infiltrator, a traitor and a spy. OBAMA installed and operates a government that rivals and competes with our U.S. Constitution. OBAMA operates government not found in our United States Constitution. If not arrested OBAMA will continue to commit TREASON. OBAMA is emboldened now and more dangerous to this country’s survival as a constitutional Republic than any other threat the United States faces in the world.
12. We come now to this reckoning: I accuse Barack Hussein OBAMA of TREASON. I accuse OBAMA’S military-political criminal assistants of TREASON. Their criminal mischief is recognized as TREASON in pure form. I expose and identify OBAMA and his criminal associates as TRAITORS (Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Leon Panetta, Susan Rice, David Petraeus and Martin Dempsey but a few).
13. It needs be said out loud and relentlessly: OBAMA is aiding and abetting America’s enemies. OBAMA is lying to the American people in every regard going to OBAMA’S TREASONOUNS escapades. OBAMA IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
14. This submission renews and extends all previous filings naming OBAMA in commission of TREASON dating from 17 March 2009. The list of ACTS of OBAMA’S TREASON found in this formal criminal complaint is not exhaustive. Far from it.
15. My sworn duty is to stand against everything OBAMA stands for. The FOREIGN BORN DOMESTIC ENEMY OBAMA IS NOT MY PRESIDENT! HE IS NOT MY COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF!
“This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is perhaps, the end of the beginning.”
Obedient to my oath to the United States Constitution in submission of this criminal complaint for TREASON I remain stead fast and,
BORN FIGHTING,

DICK ACT of 1902 CAN'T BE REPEALED (GUN CONTROL FORBIDDEN)
The Trump Card Enacted by the Congress Further Asserting the Second Amendment as Untouchable
From Fourwinds10.com Re- Posted Juy 24, 2012
The Dick Act of 1902 also known as the Efficiency of Militia Bill H.R. 11654, of June 28, 1902 invalidates all so-called gun-control laws. It also divides the militia into three distinct and separate entities.
The three classes H.R. 11654 provides for are the organized militia, henceforth known as the National Guard of the State, Territory and District of Columbia, the unorganized militia and the regular army. The militia encompasses every able-bodied male between the ages of 18 and 45. All members of the unorganized militia have the absolute personal right and 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms of any type, and as many as they can afford to buy.
The Dick Act of 1902 cannot be repealed; to do so would violate bills of attainder and ex post facto laws which would be yet another gross violation of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The President of the United States has zero authority without violating the Constitution to call the National Guard to serve outside of their State borders.
The National Guard Militia can only be required by the National Government for limited purposes specified in the Constitution (to uphold the laws of the Union; to suppress insurrection and repel invasion). These are the only purposes for which the General Government can call upon the National Guard.
Attorney General Wickersham advised President Taft, "the Organized Militia (the National Guard) can not be employed for offensive warfare outside the limits of the United States."
The Honorable William Gordon, in a speech to the House on Thursday, October 4, 1917, proved that the action of President Wilson in ordering the Organized Militia (the National Guard) to fight a war in Europe was so blatantly unconstitutional that he felt Wilson ought to have been impeached.
During the war with England an attempt was made by Congress to pass a bill authorizing the president to draft 100,000 men between the ages of 18 and 45 to invade enemy territory, Canada. The bill was defeated in the House by Daniel Webster on the precise point that Congress had no such power over the militia as to authorize it to empower the President to draft them into the regular army and send them out of the country.
The fact is that the President has no constitutional right, under any circumstances, to draft men from the militia to fight outside the borders of the USA, and not even beyond the borders of their respective states. Today, we have a constitutional LAW which still stands in waiting for the legislators to obey the Constitution which they swore an oath to uphold.
Charles Hughes of the American Bar Association (ABA) made a speech which is contained in the Appendix to Congressional Record, House, September 10, 1917, pages 6836-6840 which states: "The militia, within the meaning of these provisions of the Constitution is distinct from the Army of the United States." In these pages we also find a statement made by Daniel Webster, "that the great principle of the Constitution on that subject is that the militia is the militia of the States and of the General Government; and thus being the militia of the States, there is no part of the Constitution worded with greater care and with more scrupulous jealousy than that which grants and limits the power of Congress over it."
"This limitation upon the power to raise and support armies clearly establishes the intent and purpose of the framers of the Constitution to limit the power to raise and maintain a standing army to voluntary enlistment, because if the unlimited power to draft and conscript was intended to be conferred, it would have been a useless and puerile thing to limit the use of money for that purpose. Conscripted armies can be paid, but they are not required to be, and if it had been intended to confer the extraordinary power to draft the bodies of citizens and send them out of the country in direct conflict with the limitation upon the use of the militia imposed by the same section and article, certainly some restriction or limitation would have been imposed to restrain the unlimited use of such power."

A New Declaration Of Independence: Impeach Obama Now
“When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for a People to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with their current form of government, and to resume 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…”

POLL WATCHER SEES ROMNEY BALLOTS CHANGED
So now do we have a person who was never eligible to be president, who was put in for a
second term
by total vote fraud?
If the
American people sit still for this they deserve what they get!!!!!!
Up to 10 percent of the ballots cast at a polling station in Pennsylvania reverted to a default, which gave Barack Obama a vote no matter who the voter had selected, according to a poll watcher who was a witness to the proceedings.

Obama Wins: A Chance to Become Free Again
Michael J. Matt | POSTED: 11/7/12 |
Editor, The Remnant | |
______________________ | |
![]()
Barack Obama is not the
problem, by the way. We are! Abortion is. Public schools are. A rotting pop
culture is. Modernism in the Catholic Church is. Divorce and homosexual
"marriage" are. Obama has been reelected because America, like any nation, will
always get the leaders she richly deserves. We told God to go to hell a long
time ago, and God is merely allowing us to see what life is like without Him.
So lead on, Mr. Obama! Thou
shouldst not have any power against us, unless it were given thee from above.
Therefore, he that hath delivered us to thee, hath the greater sin.
We are Christians, and
our help is in the name of the Lord—not electoral politics. So, let's keep this
all in perspective. Out of sheer desperation, most of us threw our hats in the
ring for a Mormon, big government, sometimes pro-life, moderately pro-gay rights
candidate who is conservative by comparison only. Even by John F. Kennedy's
standards, Mitt Romney, though no doubt well meaning, is a rabid liberal.
In other words, the GOP
bet the pot on a moderate conservative, again...and lost big, again. They took
our votes for granted, again, by downplaying the rather embarrassing social
issues in favor of the ever-sophisticated pocketbook issues. Once again, it
didn’t pay off, so perhaps they will have learned their lesson the next time
around...if, in fact, there is a next time after the insufferable McCain and
Mormon Romney fiascoes.
But there is a silver
lining in all of this for those willing to see it. Folks in the real world are
obviously fed up with the charade and will finally be absolutely united against
an evil that would have remained entrenched inside the Beltway no matter who won
this election. Conservative Catholics, traditional Catholics, pro-family
Protestants, pro-lifers, pro-homeschooling advocates will all be solidly united
against the White House for the next four years—and this is always a good thing.
America's slide into
total hedonism may well have been checked with the 53 percent having now come
to realize the full extent of our national illness. This election has made it
abundantly obvious to millions that vast numbers of their compatriots have
simply lost any semblance of their God-given sense of moral equilibrium--a
sobering fact that will force those who still have a moral pulse to realize
they're standing in knee-deep water that is rapidly rising and that it's time
for them to seek higher ground. In other words, the party is finally over.
This is a golden
opportunity for us, then—not to accuse Obama for being a closet Muslim or
whatever else—but rather to encourage Americans to come out of their respective
closets and to become Christian again. The human element of the Catholic Church
has an eleventh-hour opportunity to abandon the failed policies of Modernism
that have plagued the Church for too long, before the Church in America will be
crushed beneath the heels of militant atheists. Moderate, jovial, doctrine-less
bishops lost big tonight. Cardinal Dolan, Governor Chris Christie—what’s the
difference! Who cares! We've had enough!
An awakening took place
tonight, and it means that faithful, traditionalist, God-fearing Americans can
finally begin to move towards authentic restoration of everything that matters
in this life—that which Americans once held sacred, good, honorable and noble
because it is based on love of God, His law, Christian culture, tradition and
the family
After all, it's not as
if all things were exactly rosy back in the winning days of the GOP. Who could
forget the Stalin-esque Patriot Act, for example. Or Donald Rumsfeld’s infamous
salivating over “shock and awe” in Baghdad. Or how about that
precedent-setting moment when "conservative" Secretary of State Condi Rice swore
in homosexual Mark Dybul as President Bush’s Global AIDS Coordinator, while
First Lady Laura Bush looked on approvingly, along with Dybul’s gay partner,
Jason? And then there were those pro-abortion First Ladies, you remember
them—Nancy, Barbara and Laura. And Congressman Mark Foley and his pages,
remember that “conservative”? By the way, was GOP “conservative” Arnold
Schwarzenegger "one of ours" when he was conducting homosexual marriages inside
the governor’s mansion in California?
I’ll never forget the
pain of division between family members and other pro-lifers who sincerely
believed we were all obligated before God to go along with every dingbat
initiative out of the White House must because our president said he was
"prolife" and doing God’s holy work.
Again, let us not lose
perspective. In many ways, Mitt Romney would have taken us back to the good old
days, which, let’s face it, weren’t all that.
Yes, tonight the
champions of outright atheism, abortion, and the destruction of the family
narrowly won reelection; but they didn't win a mandate and they will certainly
be met with resistance. Millions of us, in fact, will unite against their
Godless agenda, promising gigantic gridlock which may well prove to be the last,
best hope for America.
So, did we have a horse
in this race? I don’t know...probably not. I think most of us were just making
the best of a desperate situation by buying some time and praying America would
wake up in the meantime. But if waking America from her half-century slumber was
the objective, perhaps that mission was accomplished when Ohio was declared for
Barak Obama.
For the next four years
at least, millions of Americans will stand fast against the Godless polices of
Washington, D.C.—policies which, again, let’s face it, on the issues that matter
most to the soul of our country would have changed only minimally had the
well-meaning Mormon been victorious.
So, to recap: We lost a
race in which we really didn’t have a pony. But, as a result of that defeat,
millions of Americans have had their blinders removed and now know exactly where
they stand. They have, it would seem, woken up at last.
Obama represents our
chastisement, perhaps, but not our conqueror. His victory may well lead to our
redemption, in fact, both as Catholics and as Americans. Four more years of
Obama may mean that America will have to suffer, but perhaps she will also begin
to find her soul again… and her knees. Then Americans will actually have a
chance to be truly free, after all.
God writes straight
with crooked lines, and if America is to be humbled and brought to her knees,
perhaps she will be redeemed in the process. For this we hope and pray, even as
we vow to fight against the reelected regime and to never surrender the old
Faith of our Fathers—come what may.
Come out of her, my
people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her
plagues. Rev. 18:4
|
What next? How do we proceed now?
I will only add a few thoughts to the letter below
by Michael J. Kelly from Brussels Belgium.
1. A country always gets the government it
deserves.
2. The vast majority of the American people don't
deserve to be free because they squander that freedom on
immorality.
3. The country is going broke and will crash on
their watch.
4. They will drag us down with them, but in the end
our Lord Jesus Christ will intervene.
5. The only way to save America is to get on our
knees and humble ourselves before God, acknowledge our sins, beg His
forgiveness, and then get up and work like it is all up to us to
save the country by setting a good example of moral living and true Christian
Charity, and by trusting in Him to do the heavy lifting that we
are not capable of on our own. Remember Jonah and Nineve, and what happened
when those people repented of their sins.
That is not the end of what we should do, but it's
a great start. There will be more on my blog in a few days about this line of
thought.
There is NO way mathematically to save the US
Dollar (Federal Reserve Note) even if we wanted to. It must be replaced with
something of real value.
There is NO way politically to save our
Constitution since we have been under maritime law (law of nations) and roman
civil law (all the courts use it) and the uniform
commercial code for decades. There are NO common law courts left in America,
which means there is NO justice in any court in the land.
Read the 7th Amendment to the US Constitution and
then tell me we have any real justice in Amerika.
Article VII: "In suits at common law, where the
value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury
shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury
shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than
according to the rules of the common law."
We are coming to the end of civil order. Order from
now on will be given out at the barrel of a gun by government terrorists, and
the police state.
Already within 24 hours of the election word is out
that the UN is starting up the gun grab, and Obama is pushing it
enthusiastically.
This election is very much in doubt as there have
been many reports of election fraud in several states. People in Ohio came to
the polls to find that someone had already voted in their name on an early
ballot. This happened several times. Then there were reports of many dead people
voting in California. How can we have true
elections using these methods? It's impossible. All elections should be done by
paper ballots and counted by hand, with a paper trail of the vote. Until then there will never be a real free election ever again
in the US. Then there is the problem of the two branches of the same big
government party called Republicrats, and
Demicans. The way the GOP stomped on Ron Paul is absolutely unforgiveable. It
was dirty rotten political criminality at it's highest.
It's the reason I resigned as State Committeman
from Lincoln County and also from the Republican Party after several years of
trying to correct their thinkng from the inside.
There is just no way. I know they will never change. The Republicans are more
interested in preserving their power than in restoring freedom in America. This last election proves it. The chairman of the
Republican Party in Montana says that Dan Cox was a spoiler. No, the Republican
Party split their own party and spoiled their chances at winning when they
refused to support Ron Paul, and the US Constitution. They had better get used
to losing if they are going to continue with that attitude. They will never win
another election unless they get back to the principles outlined by the founders
of our Country.
In any case, now the focus needs to be on preparing
for the inevitable crash of the currency, and some real hard times in our
country. The only real chance we have is to stay out of it's way as much as
possible. To that end we will continue attending the gun shows with our
preparedness products, such as silver, radio gear, fuel preservative and
conditioner, and portable solar power products. At some point I am sure we will
not be able to do that. I am hoping we have a little time left but won't be
placing any bets in that regard. My next show is Nov 30, to Dec. 2nd in
Kalispell at the fairgrounds, then on the following weekend at the fairgrounds
in Bozeman for three days. That will conclude my schedule for this year and
until Feb. of 2013 in Butte. That make 21 gun shows in 2012.

THIS HITS IT RIGHT ON THE HEAD!
Greetings One and All,
I think the following says it all!
The biggest loss in yesterdays election was the
rule of law.A loss brought to the nation by the political party of
lawyers.In the next four years at least two Supreme Court Justices
will retire and will be replaced by lawyers appointed by a liberal
administration changing the balance of power for that will reshape the very
foundation of the country.We now have a minority in the Court that
does not believe in our Constitution as a foundational document. Ruth Bader
Ginsberg in February of this year when commenting on Egypt''s development of a
constitution for its new government said: "I would not look
to the U.S. Constitution, if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012,"
Ginsburg said in an
interview on Al Hayat television. "I might look at the
constitution of South
Africa. This is a radical view of the very fiber of the
foundation of the country.Add more of this influence to the Court
and ur country will not survive.
This new era of leadership is in the hands of a
party that attempted to remove the word and the concept of GOD and support for
Israel from its basic arty Platform at its National
Convention.Supported by a President who announced to the world is a
speech delivered in Cairo in 2009 that America as no longer a Christian
country. He said that at a time when 73% of Americans identify
themselves as Christians. He then went on to bow to the king of
Saudi Arabia.
Our electorate has chosen to be led by a
radical Progressive who compares American Exceptionalism to Greek
Exceptionalism.A person who has no belief in the free spirit of the
American Individual's personal desire and responsibility to create essential
improvement of society through personal growth in a Capitalist financial
system.A president who genuinely believes that our society must be
managed by an elitist group of bureaucrats in our central government.
We, our electorate, in our adoration of
celebrity," have expressed admiration for people of no
substance.They worship perceived cool and admire those the press
defines as good. What we are left with is an element of those who
have discovered power and from the seat of government have created an industry
that has defined a career of politics thus creating a class of elites that buy
their station in society with gifts to the electorate from the public
treasury.
So, America, you have done it.In
your desire to get your life purchased for you by the politician you perceive
will send you security, will give you personal financial stability from the
public treasury, you have removed all the strength from very foundation upon
which you stand.The financial base those politicians use to buy
your vote is no longer funded from the center of our country; it is borrowed
money from other societies and their base wealth.We no longer own
our own destiny.
We are done.We have crossed the
tipping point.I can say to all of my relatives that I lived my
youth in a time that will be remembered as the greatest point, the pinnacle, the
zenith of our Western Civilization.This was a time of prosperity
that was purchased for my generation by our parents to make a better life for us
than they had experienced.Some of our parents even gave their lives
for us, so that we could prosper and understand the promise of
America.My own father is buried in Belgium near where he lost his
life at age 31 in December of 1944.
The result of last nights election has been
brought upon us by a century, yes, a hundred years of assault on freedom by a
Progressive Ideology that has fed itself from the inside of our own
body.In the next four years, we will see a steady decline in our
environments, our communities, our lifestyle, our dollar, the value of
everything we have worked for, the vary freedoms we have sacrificed for and at
the end of that period, the voting majority of the population will be so
dependent on free stuff from the central government that recovery of the
American Exceptionalism that made this the best place on Earth will be far
beyond the reach of the American Citizenry.
We are no longer the America we have known
and loved, we are toast!
PEACE!

The Politics of Fear in America: A Nation at War with Itself
Turn on the TV or flip open the newspaper on any given day, and you will find yourself accosted by reports of government corruption, corporate malfeasance, militarized police and marauding SWAT teams. Yet even more dangerous than these violations of our basic rights is the language they are couched in—the language of fear. And, as John Whitehead says in this week’s vodcast, the only thing which will improve our present condition is the taming of our fear.

Finally, proper use of the Citizens Grand Jury
WHITE HOUSE BLASTED FOR CLASSIFIED INFORMATION LEAKS
by a citizens Grand Jury in Ocala Florida.
http://www.wnd.com/2012/11/white-house-blasted-for-classified-information-leaks/
In the 1990s U.S. v. Williams ruling, the Supreme Court determined the federal courts lack the authority to require a prosecutor to present specific information to a grand jury, Klayman explained.
The opinion rejected the argument that the concept of “checks and balances” allows a court to “exercise supervisory power over grand jury proceedings.” Therefore, Klayman told WND, the citizen grand jury is considered the ideal vehicle to bypass all of the political attachments of the judiciary and cut to the chase in evaluating a president’s actions.
“Justice Antonin Scalia held … that the grand jury’s functional independence from the judicial branch is evident both in the scope of its power to investigate criminal wrongdoing and in the manner in which that power is exercised. Unlike [a] court, whose jurisdiction is predicated upon a specific case or controversy, the grand jury can investigate merely on suspicion that the law is being violated, or even because it wants assurance that it is not,” he wrote.

Ben Swann: What The Media Isn't Telling You About The Drug War
I have been saying this for years. Ron Paul has been saying the same for years.
Rather than legalizing pot it should be de-criminalized (there is a big difference) and then regulated like alcohol.
Read the comments at this link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S2vb5RcPWY&feature=player_embedded
I have never used pot and don't intend to because I don't like what I see it doing to people that do use it.
But it's probably a lot less dangerous than alcohol in the end. So why is alcohol not illegal? It's because there is a lot more money in pot for the drug rings AND the government by keeping the "war" going. Just listen to the reality in this video. It might just change some of your thinking about this substance.
Then there is the use of hemp. Instead of pointing out the differences between pot and hemp and allowing farmers to grow this none narcotic crop where they could make good profit like the Canadians do, no they have to keep it illegal to add to the government profit from their phony "drug war".
We buy roasted hemp seeds and hemp coffee from this company:
www.hempusa.org
Not much of what government says about marijuana is true. They just want their drug war so they can keep confiscating private property and keep getting rich. In fact I would bet that they are in the drug trade up to their eyeballs, if I had the chance to really find that out.
The law that was passed in Montana threatened the fed monopoly on pot, so they raided the growers, and intimidated the lawmakers into changing it. While I believe the Montana law was not good, and allowed for a local industry where state government was creating it's own monopoly and the prices were still very high and licensing was a racket to make certain people very rich, I still believe that de-criminalization and then regulation to take the high prices down, and perhaps a tax like with alcohol is the best approach.
In any case the violence and the "color of law" plunder of the people has to STOP!
SWAT raids have to stop! Confiscation has to STOP! The opportunity for corrupt police to frame innocent people has to STOP!
What happened to freedom in Amerika?

The Montana Freemen did what this Australian did.
This video is an amazing and simple step by step road map that seems very similar to what the Montana Freemen had done and the US Corporation could NOT allow this information to come before the public, so they slammed those Freemen into their prisons and 17 years later their leader, Leroy Schweitzer died in their prison.
IS THIS WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY ?
Frequently Unanswered Questions of the "Australian Government" - a Documentary questioning those claiming Government status as to whether they really are Government. Follow the process of importing a 1959 Chevrolet Corvette as the Department of Transport blocks import, to the Department of Environment getting in the way. Finally, see what happens when "Customs" demands GST and Luxury Car Tax.
A must see for anyone dealing with "Government."
After watching this video ask yourself the questions "Why are those corporate filings from Australia being filed in Washington DC? Is Washington DC the headquarters for the world wide corporation? Where is jurisdiction for these acts? Are the courts in America ruling using the Uniform Commercial Code? Are the federal courts legitimate? Are they 7th amendment courts? I think not. What are they then? Are they using maritime law and international law of the sea?
I said in a previous post that the way they have done this at law is far different than the way they have controlled the political system in this country.
Did the freemen know all this, and is that the reason they were buried in prison by the court system and those who might have a lot to lose if their actions had been exposed?

Citizen's Grand Jury to Investigate Obama Administration
Now we might get some action.
OBAMA ADMIN'S 'LOOSE LIPS' UNDER INVESTIGATION
Members of a “citizens’ grand jury” will meet next week in Ocala, Fla., to look at allegations that the “loose lips” of the Obama administration led to the deaths of dozens of members of the U.S. military and the imprisonment of a Pakistan physician who helped locate Osama bin Laden – all to “bolster” the “political agendas” of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
The Zio Election for Hell

Go to Amazon.com and get a book titled "The Mystery of Iniquity"
Then you might be able to understand the big picture from actual history.
How far will the International bankster cabal go to keep their secrets?
This article is true and correct. Check out the
story about this bankers kids being killed here:

Subject: Re: Largest racketeering lawsuit in US history names
Holder, Geitner,Robert Rubin ,seeking to halt all foreclosures nationwide
pending the return of the $43 trillion ($43,000,000,000.00) by the
"Banksters"
This week financial news organization CNBC gave some mainstream
attention to the largest money laundering and racketeering lawsuit in United
States History, in which “Banksters” and their U.S. racketeering partners are
being accused of laundering of 43 trillion dollars worth of ill gotten
gains.
The lawsuit is said to involve officials located in the highest
offices of government and the financial sector.
Since this information was surprisingly revealed by the
mainstream news organization there has been a very suspicious and deadly fallout
at the CNBC headquarters.
Within hours the original page for
the article was taken down, and CNBC senior vice president Kevin Krim received
news that his children were killed under very suspicious
circumstances.
It seems that the murder happened first and then the page was
removed later.
According to mainstream accounts the
children’s nanny is responsible for the murders, allegedly stabbing both
children.
However, those same mainstream news sources report the highly unlikely story that the nanny slit her
own throat just after committing the homicides.
Police have released very little information and although a
wider plot has not been officially implicated, it seems very possible that these murders are a show of force against the
press organization for releasing such damning information about the most
powerful people in the world.
Here is some more information about the lawsuit from the Wall Street Journal:

http://jessescrossroadscafe.blogspot.com/2012/10/bill-moyers-with-neil-barofsky-on.html
This is the second part of the Moyers interview with Neil Barofsky.
This is the second part of the Moyers interview with Neil Barofsky.
BILL MOYERS: I thought, at the time, this was an incestuous orgy going on there, between inside players at Washington and inside players at Wall Street. Is that too strong?
NEIL BAROFSKY: It's probably not too strong. It's the fact that their ideology matches up. And look, one of the reasons why their ideology matches up is they all come from the same small handful of institutions. And the people I was dealing with on a daily basis came from the same financial institutions that helped cause the financial crisis and were the most generous recipients of bailouts, Goldman Sachs, Bear Sterns, which, of course, had been adopted by J.P. Morgan Chase. Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs, it seemed like every time I turned around, I bumped into someone from Goldman Sachs.
Which is not to single them out. But they all bring that ideology with them, when they come to Washington. It's not like somebody hits them in the head with a magic wand and they give back everything that they've learned and believed in their years of Wall Street. And they bring that ideology with them. And even those who don't come from a specific bank, when you surround yourself, create an echo chamber of likeminded people, it's not terribly surprising that the government policy looks a lot like what the Wall Street institutions themselves would have most desired.
And I think the other side effect of that is that people who are outside of that bubble, people who don't have that background, people like myself as a federal prosecutor or Elizabeth Warren, who was the chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel and before that a Harvard professor, that our views, our criticisms, our contrary positions were discounted, mocked, ridiculed, insulted, cursed at, at times. Because there was no-- we didn't have the pedigree in their world to have a meaningful contribution. So what happens is that there's no new ideas that creep in. And you get this very uniform, very non-diverse approach to the problems of finance.
BILL MOYERS: It was puzzling to outsiders like me that you had TARP money being used to concentrate further the size of these banks.
NEIL BAROFSKY: And the granddaddy of all those transactions, Bank of America acquiring Merrill Lynch. And the important thing to remember here is this is not banks gone wild, banks taking the money and saying, "Party time, we're going to consolidate." They did this with the encouragement of the government. And in Bank of America, a little bit with a gun to the head to complete that transaction.
This was the government policy created by the architects, Ben Bernanke who is chair of Federal Reserve, Tim Geithner, who was then the president of the New York Fed before becoming Treasury Secretary, and Hank Paulson. Their solution originally was to further concentrate the industry, to make the too big to fail banks bigger.
The theory was you take a healthier bank and mix it up with a failing bank and you get something somewhere in between, which is better overall for the system. Which may have had some validity in the very, very short term, but has put us on a path, I believe, to being even more dangerous. Because you have institutions now that are just monstrous in size, over $2 trillion in assets by certain measures, close to $4 trillion by other measures. Terrifying. The idea that any of these institutions could ever be allowed to fail is pure fantasy, at this point.
BILL MOYERS: Are you suggesting that we could have another crash?
NEIL BAROFSKY: I think it's inevitable. I mean, I don't think how you can look at all the incentives that were in place going up to 2008 and see that in many ways they've only gotten worse and come to any other conclusion.
BILL MOYERS: What do you mean incentives in place?
NEIL BAROFSKY: So in a normal functioning capitalist utopia, where, you know, most markets are that don't have this too big to fail, this presumption of government bailout if a firm like a Citigroup amasses massive amounts of risk. And in so doing, they keep razor-thin capital to absorb potential losses, which basically means they're just borrowing tons and tons of money.
And not have a lot of their own money at stake, but it's mostly borrowed money. And it is very opaque. It's not very transparent about how they're running their business. You would expect that creditors, people lending them money, counterparties, those on the other sides of their transactions would either stay away or really exact a premium. But the presumption of bailout changes that on its head and actually makes it go in the other direction. So it removes the incentive of the other market participants to impose what's known as market discipline. Because that's ideally in a capitalist society what happens is that the lenders and creditors and counterparties say, "Hey, we're not going to do business with you unless you clean house, slim down, be more transparent."
But when there's a presumption of bailout, that disappears. Because all those other market players can feel safe in the presumption that if anything goes bad at Citigroup, Uncle Sam is going to come in and make their bets whole.
Then you have the very real incentive for the executives at that institution to then pile on risk. Because they know that if the bets go well in the short term, they get paid. And they get paid very richly. But if it blows up and the risks go bad, no worry, the taxpayer's going to be on the other side of that bill.
That's what happened to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, before they collapsed. That's what happened to our biggest banks and global banks before they collapsed. And if you maintain that system, it is foolhardy to think that those incentives and pressures are not once again going to carry the day.
BILL MOYERS: At a conference a week or so ago, here in New York, you said playing ball for Wall Street has become a normal way of life, despite the panic of 2008. What does it mean, "playing ball for Wall Street"?
NEIL BAROFSKY: Well, what I saw when I was in Washington was this real pressure on myself, on other regulators to essentially keep their tone down. And I was told point blank by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury that, this is about in 2010.
And he said to me, he said, "Neil, you're a smart guy. You're a young guy. You're a talented guy. You got your whole future in front of you. You've got a young family that's starting out. But you're doing yourself real harm.” And the reason why you're doing yourself real harm is the harsh tone that I had towards the government as well as to Wall Street, based on what I was seeing down in Washington. And he told me that if I wanted to get a job out on the Street afterwards, it was going to really be hard for me.
BILL MOYERS: You mean on Wall Street?
NEIL BAROFSKY: Yes. And I explained to him that I wasn't really interested in that. And he said, "Well, maybe a judgeship. Maybe an appointment from the Obama administration for a federal judgeship." And I said, "Well, again, that would be great. But I don't really think that's going to happen with my criticisms." And he said it didn't have to be that way. "If all you do is soften your tone, be a little bit more upbeat, all this stuff can happen for you."
And that's what I meant by playing ball. I was essentially told, play ball, soften your tone, and all of these good things can happen to you. But if you stay harsh that was going to cause me real harm in those words.
BILL MOYERS: What made you able to say no to the temptation?
NEIL BAROFSKY: Well, I think part of it is the only job I ever wanted was to be a federal prosecutor.
BILL MOYERS: Send bad guys to jail?
NEIL BAROFSKY: It doesn't get much better than that. Really interesting, complicated work, and wear the white hat. So I didn't have those incentives that I think that were presented. And I think, look, you know, being trained in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, I was trained to be a government employee and to take my oath of office very seriously.
But I wasn't really interested in their reindeer games. And I felt a real obligation and sense of duty to fulfill the oath that I took in Secretary Paulson's office on December 15th, 2008 to do the job that I was sent down there to do. But I wasn't really tempted with a big job on Wall Street. And frankly, if it meant getting a judgeship, compromising the job that I needed to do and was supposed to do, it just wasn't interesting to me.
But look, let me be very clear. I also have the fallback of I was a trial lawyer. I prosecuted a lot of big cases. And I knew that whatever happened, I could always go back and get a good job in New York, working at a law firm or doing legal work. So it gave me a degree of financial freedom even though I basically spent most of my career as a government employee and I didn’t have money. I didn't necessarily need to please anyone to be able to go back and still be able to feed my family.
BILL MOYERS: What happens to a political society, to a democracy, when we stifle or bribe or shoot the sheriff?
NEIL BAROFSKY: When I had my incident with the assistant secretary that my deputy, who had come down from-- who's another former federal prosecutor, who did narcotics work, said to me, Kevin Puvalowski. And he said to me, "Neil, you were just offered the bullet or the bribe, the gold or the lead."
And what he was referring to was a society just like that, which was Colombia, back in the day when Pablo Escobar and the drug kingpins really controlled society. And what he was referring to is that basically to corrupt society Escobar would go to a magistrate or a police officer, police chief, a politician, and say, "You have two choices. You can either take this giant pile of money and do my bidding. Or you can get the lead, a bullet in your head."
And Kevin was joking that I just received the Washington white collar equivalent of the gold or the lead. And it was funny, at the time, but that's kind of what happens in a society where the rewards and incentives are, again, nobody's getting shot in the head thank goodness. But it's a breakdown of the system.
And in some ways, it creates this false illusion that there are people out there looking out for the interest of taxpayers, the checks and balances that are built into the system are operational, when in fact they're not. And what you're going to see and what we are seeing is it'll be a breakdown of those governmental institutions. And you'll see governments that continue to have policies that feed the interests of -- and I don't want to get clichéd, but the one percent or the .1 percent -- to the detriment of everyone else.
BILL MOYERS: You make it clear in the book that the Obama administration fought against cutting down the size of these banks. And yet, in the second debate with Mitt Romney the president said, "We passed the toughest Wall Street reform since the Great Depression." As I hear you, it wasn't all that tough.
NEIL BAROFSKY: Well, that's a literally true statement. Because when you think of-- but it's a very low bar to clear. I mean, all of the regulatory reform since the Great Depression has been peeling back on those regulations. With really the big death knell happening in the end of the Clinton administration with, you know, a couple of bills, one that removed the last vestiges of the separation between commercial and investment banks.
BILL MOYERS: Glass-Steagall Act?
NEIL BAROFSKY: Glass-Steagall.
BILL MOYERS: It took down the wall between those two?
NEIL BAROFSKY: The last part of it. And then the second part by passing a bill that made it, essentially made derivatives out of bounds for regulation. So saying that it's the toughest is literally true. The problem is it hasn't been tough enough in where it most matters.
And again, you don't really have to take my word for it. You just look what the market has done. Based on the presumption of bailout, the banks get higher ratings from the credit rating agencies which means they can borrow money for less, because their debt is viewed by the credit rating agencies as being less risky. And they get these higher ratings on explicit presumption that the government will bail them out and make good on their debt.
So it didn't deliver the goods where it matters the most. Again, not saying that it doesn't have some good positive things for our system and for people. But it didn't deliver the most important thing that we need if we want to address the causes of the last crisis and help prevent the next one.
BILL MOYERS: What will it take to prevent the next one?
NEIL BAROFSKY: Got to break them up. I mean, it is not a simple thing to accomplish, necessarily. But it's a very simple solution. And what you see, I think, kind of amazingly, is how many more people have come to this view over the last year or so. It used to be a lonely perch that we sat on. Former special inspector generals, a couple of academics.
But now you have people like Sandy Weill, the architect of Citigroup. And sure, too little too late, after he made all of his money off creating these Frankenstein monsters. But even he now recognizes that we have to break up the banks. You have senior officials at the Federal Reserve recently coming out in favor of this. The vice chair of the FDIC, a very strong advocate for breaking up the banks. And you hear it a lot more in members of Congress-- that are supporting this notion. So to me, on the one hand, it's absolutely essential. If we really want to get to the point where we don't have to bailout a bank, we have to make it so that no bank is so systemically significant and large that its failure could bring down the system.
BILL MOYERS: Are they up to their old tricks?
NEIL BAROFSKY: The banks? Sure. I mean, you know, so we had this regulatory reform of Dodd-Frank in 2010, which, you know, left them intact and inside. But it had all of these rules and all of these regulations that needed to follow. And right now it is hand to hand, trench warfare, combat with those lobbyists spending all that money on campaign contributions, on, you know, flooding the decision makers and the regulators with comment letters and endless meetings.
And pressuring members of Congress to put pressure on the regulators, to water down the rules, to basically get as much back to the good old days where they would have free reign to print money, take advantage of their too big to fail status, bully and push out the little guys, take advantage of consumers. And that's what all of these efforts area about are to preserve these very, very core profit streams that they had before.
And that's right now is where the battle is being waged. Not on TV, you know, not necessarily out in front, but behind the scenes where the next set of rules are being forged on what they're going to be able to do and how they're going to be able to do it...

NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Spire Law Group, LLP's national home owners' lawsuit, pending in the venue where the "Banksters" control their $43 trillion racketeering scheme (New York) - known as the largest money laundering and racketeering lawsuit in United States History and identifying $43 trillion ($43,000,000,000,000.00) of laundered money by the "Banksters" and their U.S. racketeering partners and joint venturers - now pinpoints the identities of the key racketeering partners of the "Banksters" located in the highest offices of government and acting for their own self-interests.
In connection with the federal lawsuit now impending in the United States District Court in Brooklyn, New York (Case No. 12-cv-04269-JBW-RML) - involving, among other things, a request that the District Court enjoin all mortgage foreclosures by the Banksters nationwide, unless and until the entire $43 trillion is repaid to a court-appointed receiver - Plaintiffs now establish the location of the $43 trillion ($43,000,000,000,000.00) of laundered money in a racketeering enterprise participated in by the following individuals (without limitation): Attorney General Holder acting in his individual capacity, Assistant Attorney General Tony West, the brother in law of Defendant California Attorney General Kamala Harris (both acting in their individual capacities), Jon Corzine (former New Jersey Governor), Robert Rubin (former Treasury Secretary and Bankster), Timothy Geitner, Treasury Secretary (acting in his individual capacity), Vikram Pandit (recently resigned and disgraced Chairman of the Board of Citigroup), Valerie Jarrett (a Senior White House Advisor), Anita Dunn (a former "communications director" for the Obama Administration), Robert Bauer (husband of Anita Dunn and Chief Legal Counsel for the Obama Re-election Campaign), as well as the "Banksters" themselves, and their affiliates and conduits. The lawsuit alleges serial violations of the United States Patriot Act, the Policy of Embargo Against Iran and Countries Hostile to the Foreign Policy of the United States, and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (commonly known as the RICO statute) and other State and Federal laws.
In the District Court lawsuit, Spire Law Group, LLP -- on behalf of home owner across the Country and New York taxpayers, as well as under other taxpayer recompense laws -- has expanded its mass tort action into federal court in Brooklyn, New York, seeking to halt all foreclosures nationwide pending the return of the $43 trillion ($43,000,000,000.00) by the "Banksters" and their co-conspirators, seeking an audit of the Fed and audits of all the "bailout programs" by an independent receiver such as Neil Barofsky, former Inspector General of the TARP program who has stated that none of the TARP money and other "bailout money" advanced from the Treasury has ever been repaid despite protestations to the contrary by the Defendants as well as similar protestations by President Obama and the Obama Administration both publicly on national television and more privately to the United States Congress. Because the Obama Administration has failed to pursue any of the "Banksters" criminally, and indeed is actively borrowing monies for Mr. Obama's campaign from these same "Banksters" to finance its political aspirations, the national group of plaintiff home owners has been forced to now expand its lawsuit to include racketeering, money laundering and intentional violations of the Iranian Nations Sanctions and Embargo Act by the national banks included among the "Bankster" Defendants.
The complaint - which has now been fully served on thousands of the "Banksters and their Co-Conspirators" - makes it irrefutable that the epicenter of this laundering and racketeering enterprise has been and continues to be Wall Street and continues to involve the very "Banksters" located there who have repeatedly asked in the past to be "bailed out" and to be "bailed out" in the future.
The Havens for the money laundering schemes - and certain of the names and places of these entities - are located in such venues as Switzerland, the Isle of Man, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Cypress and entities controlled by governments adverse to the interests of the United States Sanctions and Embargo Act against Iran, and are also identified in both the United Nations and the U.S. Senate's recent reports on international money laundering. Many of these entities have already been personally served with summons and process of the complaint during the last six months. It is now beyond dispute that, while the Obama Administration was publicly encouraging loan modifications for home owners by "Banksters", it was privately ratifying the formation of these shell companies in violation of the United States Patriot Act, and State and Federal law. The case further alleges that through these obscure foreign companies, Bank of America, J.P. Morgan, Wells Fargo Bank, Citibank, Citigroup, One West Bank, and numerous other federally chartered banks stole trillions of dollars of home owners' and taxpayers' money during the last decade and then laundered it through offshore companies.
This District Court Complaint - maintained by Spire Law Group, LLP -- is the only lawsuit in the world listing as Defendants the Banksters, let alone serving all of such Banksters with legal process and therefore forcing them to finally answer the charges in court. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission, nor the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, nor the Office of the Attorney General, nor any State Attorney General has sued the Banksters and thereby legally chased them worldwide to recover-back the $43 trillion ($43,000,000,000,000.00) and other lawful damages, injunctive relief and other legal remedies.
James N. Fiedler, Managing Partner of Spire Law Group, LLP, stated: "It is hard for me to believe as a 47-year lawyer that our nation's guardians have been unwilling to stop this theft. Spire Law Group, LLP stands for the elimination of corruption and implementation of lawful strategies, and that is what we're doing here. Spire Law Group, LLP's charter is to not allow such corruption to go unanswered."
Comments were requested from the Attorney Generals' offices in NY, CA, NV, NH , OH, MA and the White House, but no comment was provided.

Eric Holder, a former Clinton Justice official who, after a career in government, joined the Washington office of Covington & Burling, a top-tier law firm with an elite white-collar defense unit. The move to Covington, and back to Justice, is an example of Washington's revolving-door ritual, which, for Holder, has been lucrative--he pulled in $2.1 million as a Covington partner in 2008, and $2.5 million (including deferred compensation) when he left the firm in 2009.
Peter Schweizer: Congress's Corruption Racket
Putting a Covington partner--he spent nearly a decade at the firm--in charge of Justice may have sent a signal to the financial community, whose marquee names are Covington clients. Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Deutsche Bank are among the institutions that pay for Covington's legal advice, some of it relating to matters before the Department of Justice. But Holder's was not the only face at Justice familiar to Covington clients. Lanny Breuer, who had co-chaired the white-collar defense unit at Covington with Holder, was chosen to head the criminal division at Obama's Justice.

Those wondering why the Department of Justice has refused to go after Jon Corzine for the vaporization of $1.6 billion in MF Global client funds need look no further than the documents uncovered by the Government Accountability Institute that reveal that the now-defunct MF Global was a client of Attorney General Eric Holder and Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer’s former law firm, Covington & Burling.

(Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Lanny Breuer, head of the Justice Department's criminal division, were partners for years at a Washington law firm that represented a Who's Who of big banks and other companies at the center of alleged foreclosure fraud, a Reuters inquiry shows.
The firm, Covington & Burling, is one of Washington's biggest white shoe law firms. Law professors and other federal ethics experts said that federal conflict of interest rules required Holder and Breuer to recuse themselves from any Justice Department decisions relating to law firm clients they personally had done work for.
Both the Justice Department and Covington declined to say if either official had personally worked on matters for the big mortgage industry clients. Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler said Holder and Breuer had complied fully with conflict of interest regulations, but she declined to say if they had recused themselves from any matters related to the former clients.
Reuters reported in December that under Holder and Breuer, the Justice Department hasn't brought any criminal cases against big banks or other companies involved in mortgage servicing, even though copious evidence has surfaced of apparent criminal violations in foreclosure cases.
The evidence, including records from federal and state courts and local clerks' offices around the country, shows widespread forgery, perjury, obstruction of justice, and illegal foreclosures on the homes of thousands of active-duty military personnel.http://maxkeiser.com/2012/10/06/kr350-keiser-report-mr-gold-vs-chump-economists/
