Was the 17th Amendment to the US Constitution properly ratified?

While you read this think about how out of control Max Bacus and Jon Tester are on this health care monstor, and think about how we can get back the power to reign them in or fire them for it!

The 17th Amendment turns over the Election of US Senators to popular vote where before that the State Legislatures had control of who the two US Senators are.  The Senate is supposed to represent the States, not the people.  WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?

THE SHORT ANSWER IS NO, the 17th amendment was NOT ratified. It's NOT part of the Constitution. It never was. It is wholey null and void, is not law, and is as if it had never been.

WANT PROOF and why it's important?

Is the War on Terror a War against Your Freedom? Prove it!

The Chasm - The Future Is Calling (Part One)

© 2003 – 2009 by G. Edward Griffin
Revised 2009 April 26

"What I am going to tell you is this: Although it is commonly believed that the War on Terrorism is a noble effort to defend freedom, in reality, it has little to do with terrorism and even less to do with the defense of freedom.

There are other agendas at work; agendas that are far less praiseworthy; agendas that, in fact, are just the opposite of what we are told. The purpose of this presentation is to prove that, what is unfolding today is, not a war on terrorism to defend freedom, but a war on freedom that requires the defense of terrorism."

WOLVES IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING?

The Clarion Call for a Constitutional Convention is dangerous.

By Kelleigh Nelson

October 17, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

The proponents of a con-con under the guise of a balanced budget amendment still believe that if they get another two states who call for a balanced budget amendment that they can open a convention, despite the states that have recalled their calls. Con-con supporter James Dale Davidson of the National Taxpayers’ Union even stated that he didn’t care if the con-con couldn’t be limited to the Balanced Budget. As well, Henry Hazlitt (renowned conservative) was the NTU’s economic advisor wrote a book in 1974 entitled, “A New Constitution Now.” The book is extremely alarming because in the book he says, “an amendment could be proposed that would strike out everything after ‘We the people,’ “ and that of course includes the Bill of Rights.

I too tremble at the thought of a Constitutional Convention and unfortunately a new threat is on the horizon and comes from sources one would least expect. Judge Andrew Napolitano is often a guest on the Fox Network Glenn Beck Show. My first inkling that Judge Napolitano was pro-Constitutional Convention, was at the end of the Glenn Beck show on May 1st, 2009 when Glenn’s audience were tea party attendees from across the nation. At the end of this program, Judge Napolitano stated that we needed a Constitutional Convention to eliminate the 16th amendment (income taxes).

No Recall, No Recourse, No Remedy, Just Tyranny

Is this what Sheriff Anderson is willing to let happen? He says he will lay down his badge and walk away if they ask him to collect guns from the citizens of Lincoln County.



Now just wait a minute. The recall didn't go through and some of you out there who have put allot of effort into it are probably feeling pretty discouraged, I bet. There seems to be no end and it's at every level of government corruption. Can there be a another way to get the sheriff out of office, or get him to step down. I believe there is. I am angry at the rape issues just as much as you are. I am angry of the entire lack of due process denying a concealed permit. Those are issues hard for me to be able to get involved with. I have not the proof of the rapes, and I did not apply for the permit. But one issue that does effect me and every single one of you in this county is the people elected with a fiduciary obligation.(An individual in whom another has placed the utmost trust and confidence to manage and protect property or money. The relationship wherein one person has an obligation to act for another's benefit). That would be a Sheriff,judge,cop, what have you. They contracted into this obligation through their oath of office. While these people are in this capacity, and they commit fraud, theft or conspiracy to deprive you of your rights it makes a simple crime they commit a whole lot worth.


So to get to my point I am talking about the issue of Mr. Sheffield. With him not being a peace officer under state law, and the sheriff appointing him, with all the money they stole from you, with the courts who took your money, the clerk who received your money, the jailer who took you when he released you to him. All of this constitutes fraud and conspiracy, and theft of the highest sorts. All because of Mr. Sheffield was never a cop ab initio(from the beginning). There never was any jurisdiction. Every one that touched the tar baby is in violation of law.

It is almost Halloween and there are allot of costumes out there to buy. I think this year I want to be a COP. I buy my cop suit, and my badge, I grab my gun and oh yea let me not forget my bubble to put on my car. I take my car driving around and watch other drivers. I all of a sudden think I see some one violate a Motor vehicle code. I turn my bubble on and he pulls over for me. I go through all of the same traffic routine as all the other cops and this guy has no idea I am in my Halloween costume. Now I give him a citation and I give it to a judge. The judge, either knowing or not knowing, it doesn't matter because they are deamed to know. So this judge sees the man and tells him to pay the clerk. The man gives his hard earned money to the clerk. Do you see where I am going with this? This is Fraud, Theft, and robbery with a weapon, because I was carrying my weapon. And every one who touched it is involved. Or what if i arrested this person? I take him to libby and now I give him over to the jailer. Now I just committed aggrevated kidnapping, displaying my weapon. I give him to the jailer, who now is complicite. This jailer then posts a bond(ransom). None of this is real because I am not really an officer and all I want is your money, and also all of these other people.

Now to my real point, would any one out there who reads this and has been pulled over by Mr. Sheffield and has not been retracted their money , or has lost their liberty in any way, even a roadside stop!!!! Please contact me at notyranny59917@yahoo.com. I think there could be a great RICCO suit. But at the very least, we need to get Criminal complaints Flying!!!

Do we really want this for us in our future?

Are we slaves and think we are freemen? The Ultimate Solution!

What is the Ultimate Remedy?

Was the 14th Amendment properly ratified?

What did the 14th Amendment do to your status and freedom?

Are you really free in America? (Your insticts tell you no but what is the law and how do you get your freedom back?)

What is the Remedy at law for this?

Was the 14th Amendment really to "free the slaves" or was it used to make slaves at law out of all of us?

Are the courts and judges hiding this from you because they know the truth, and they know if you knew the truth there would be massive retribution over this fraud?

WE CAN'T END THE INCOME TAX ONE PRISON SENTENCE AT A TIME

By: Devvy

October 14, 2009
© 2009 - NewsWithViews.com

Way back in 1991, I began to learn the truth about the privately owned Federal Reserve Banking system. My research led me to connect the dots between the disaster that struck America in 1913: The fraudulent ratification of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Amendments and the Federal Reserve Act. In order to syphon off the wealth of America, it was necessary to create two entities to get the job done: The so-called income tax amendment and the unconstitutional central bank. Lest the states should decide to rear up their heads over all this, the Seventeenth Amendment was fraudulently declared ratified and the states lost their right of representation in Congress.



Contrary to popular belief and propaganda by the ignorant in the controlled media and special interest groups, the federal income tax does not apply to domestic Americans. However, that fact of the law as its written doesn't seem to matter to judges, U.S. Attorneys and companies out there who thrive on "tax season." Pay up or go to jail.

Tommy Cryer is an attorney in Shreveport, Louisiana. He defied the system. Not because he doesn't want to "pay his fair share," but because he knows what the IR Code says and decided to take a stand for the truth. Even at great expense to himself -- like so many others over the decades. Tommy was indicted and went to trial. He was acquitted in July of 2007 and went on a mission. Truth Attack was born and the results have been nothing short of amazing.

LAWSUIT FILED TO HALT SWINE FLU VACCINE DISTRIBUTION

WASHINGTON – With the U.S. Food and Drug Administration scheduled to begin nationwide delivery this week of swine flu vaccine to 90,000 government-approved locations, attorney James Turner filed a complaint Friday in federal court in the District of Columbia for a Temporary Restraining Order to halt the distribution, licensing and use of four controversial vaccines -- including their use under an existing Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) -- until there has been adequate safety testing and a full opportunity for public hearings.


The suit challenges the Sept. 15 licensing of four swine flu vaccines, alleging that the FDA violated the law in its hurried approval by failing to determine the safety and efficacy of the vaccines as required by law since 1964.
Turner told NewsWithViews that none of the procedures that should have been done, and that make up a formal administrative record, had been done.

These Rights Are Not Negotiable

by Chuck Baldwin
October 12th 2009

In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson wrote, "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, 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."

I would argue that we, like our patriot forebears, have also endured "patient sufferance." For at least a half-century, we have patiently endured the erosion and abridgment of our freedoms and liberties. We have watched the federal government become an overbearing and meddlesome Nanny State that pokes its nose and sticks its fingers in virtually everything we do. We cannot drive a car, buy a gun, or even flush a toilet without Big Brother's permission. We are taxed, regulated, and snooped-on from the time we are born to the day we die. And then after we are dead, we are taxed again.

In the same way that Jefferson and Company patiently suffered up until that shot was fired that was heard around the world, we who love freedom today are likewise patiently suffering "a long train of abuses and usurpations." In fact, I would even dare say that these States United have become a boiling caldron of justifiable frustration and even anger.

Accordingly, it is incumbent upon us to very seriously and thoughtfully examine those principles that we absolutely will never cede or surrender. We have already surrendered much of the freedom that was bequeathed to us by our forefathers. We are now to the point that we must define those principles that form our "line in the sand" and that we will not surrender under any circumstance. Either that, or we must admit to ourselves that there is nothing--no principle, no freedom, no matter how sacred--that we will not surrender to Big Government.

Here, then, are those principles that, to me, must never be surrendered. To surrender these liberties to Big Government would mean to commit idolatry. It would be sacrilege. It would reduce us to slavery. It would destroy our humanity. To surrender these freedoms would mean "absolute Despotism" and would provide moral justification to the proposition that such tyranny be "thrown off."

Bet she wishes she hadn't said that!



Ok folks. If you don't want to believe the right wing, crazy, religious
conservatives, then believe what the far left liberals and the Obama
administration are saying. Maxine Waters, the liberals liberal says it in just a few sentences.

This clip showing Congresswoman Maxine Waters discussing drilling for new oil reserves. She explains, in a slip of the tongue, what this whole administration agenda is all about.

What can you say...?! Notice the people around her.
This clip from a friend is about as blatant as a liberal can get.
What she said was accidental, and notice that it stopped her for a long moment.
Looks like the TRUTH came out of her mouth!
Notice the lady to the left trying to control her reaction to what Maxine Waters just said!

Hard to lie about it when you see it for your self in her own words.
This one needs to be passed on.
Just hope the country wakes up in the 2010 elections. Scary agenda.
She knew she blew it the second it came out of her mouth.
The intent of Obama's grand plan and it is not pretty. But luckily, the "congress person" shifted her mouth into gear before engaging her brain and let the cat out of the bag. I do not think it is possible for too many people to see this video and I hope you feel the same way and  will help send it along as fast as possible.

Ask yourself: Isn't what the government's doing now with GM, Chrysler, and the banks, actual a socialistic government takeover??

Did you take the Oath to Defend, protect and obey the Constitution?

If you didn't take, subscribe, and file your oath your office is vacant!

From: Gary Marbut-MSSA

Subject: Oath of office

Dear MSSA Friends,

All persons elected to office in Montana must have taken, subscribed (signed under penalty of perjury) and filed (usually with the county clerk) an oath of office to defend the U.S. and Montana constitutions.

Article III, Section 3 of the Montana Constitution requires:

"Section 3. Oath of office. Members of the legislature and all executive, ministerial and judicial officers, shall take and subscribe the following oath or affirmation, before they enter upon the duties of their offices: 'I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, protect and defend the constitution of the United States, and the constitution of the state of Montana, and that I will discharge the duties of my office with fidelity (so help me God).' No other oath, declaration, or test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust."

Those of you interested in good government in Montana should check with the county clerk to confirm that ALL elected officials, appointed officials, peace officers and others have taken, subscribed and filed the required oath of office. If any of these official have not done all three, they cannot hold office - they have not officially assumed their office and their office is vacant.

This applies to county commissioners, sheriffs, county attorneys, city council members, legislators and everyone else elected to office. It applies to all appointed offices, and to all Montana peace officers. These officials cannot be held to compliance with their oath (to defend the constitutions) unless they have taken, signed and filed the oath.

Pasted below are some Montana statutes and some Montana court cases about this, if you want more detailed information.

Feel free to redistribute this email to interested friends. Do check to see if all local officials have taken, signed and filed the required oath of office. If they haven't, they're imposters. Moreover, every supposedly official act they have done before their oath was taken, signed and filed is void.

Check it out.
Best wishes,
Gary Marbut, president

(c) A peace officer under the provisions of subsection (5)(b) or a peace officer who has completed a basic peace officer's course in another state and whose last date of employment as a peace officer was less than 60 months prior to the date of present appointment as a peace officer may, within 1 year of the peace officer's present employment or initial appointment as a peace officer within this state, satisfy the basic educational requirements by successfully passing a basic equivalency test administered by the Montana law enforcement academy and successfully completing a legal training course conducted by the academy. If the peace officer fails the basic equivalency test, the peace officer shall complete the basic course within 120 days of the date of the test.

(6) The board of crime control may extend the 1-year time requirements of subsections (5)(a) and (5)(c) upon the written application of the peace officer and the appointing authority of the officer. The application must explain the circumstances that make the extension necessary. Factors that the board may consider in granting or denying the extension include but are not limited to illness of the peace officer or a member of the peace officer's immediate family, absence of reasonable access to the basic course or the legal training course, and an unreasonable shortage of personnel within the department. The board may not grant an extension to exceed 180 days.

(7) A peace officer who has successfully met the employment standards and qualifications and the educational requirements of this section and who has completed a 1-year probationary term of employment must, upon application to the board of crime control, be issued a basic certificate by the board, certifying that the peace officer has met all the basic qualifying peace officer standards of this state.

(8) It is unlawful for a person whose certification as a peace officer, detention officer, or detention center administrator has been revoked or suspended by the board of crime control to act as a peace officer, detention officer, or detention center administrator. A person convicted of violating this subsection is guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a term of imprisonment not to exceed 6 months in the county jail or by a fine not to exceed $500, or both.

Court decisions:

Substitute Justice of the Peace Not Duly Authorized or Properly Called -- Search Warrants Invalid: A Justice of the Peace submitted a written waiver request form for proposing substitute Justices of the Peace but failed to create a list of proposed substitutes as required in 3-10-231. One of the designated substitutes took the judicial oath of office, but not in the form required by this section. The substitute justice was called by a Deputy Sheriff, who requested warrants allowing a search of defendant's property. The warrants were issued and executed, but the warrants were challenged by defendants on the grounds that the warrants were not issued by a properly authorized substitute justice. The state argued that the authorization and call-in of the substitute justice were in substantial compliance with the law and that any technical errors in the procedures should not operate to suppress evidence. Applying Potter v. District Court, 266 M 384, 880 P2d 1319 (1994), the Supreme Court held that substantial compliance was insufficient. The procedure used in authorizing the substitute justice with a variant form of the constitutional oath of office was a major discrepancy in the authorization process, and the procedure of providing law enforcement with a menu of substitutes from which to choose clearly violated Potter. The substitute Justice of the Peace was not duly authorized, thus the warrants issued by the substitute were void ab initio. St. v. Vickers, 1998 MT 201, 290 M 356, 964 P2d 756, 55 St. Rep. 859 (1998), distinguishing U.S. v. Leon, 468 US 897, 82 L Ed 2d 677, 104 S Ct 3405 (1984).

"Civil Office" Defined: The words "civil office" as used in Art. V, sec. 7, 1889 Mont. Const., in providing that no Senator or Representative shall, during the term for which elected, be appointed to any civil office, mean any public office not of a military character. State ex rel. Barney v. Hawkins, 79 M 506, 257 P 411 (1927).

To make any position of employment a public office of a civil nature, it must be created by the state Constitution or by the Legislature or created by a municipality pursuant to authority delegated to it; it must possess a delegation of a portion of the sovereign power of government, to be exercised for the benefit of the public; the powers conferred and the duties to be discharged must be defined, directly or impliedly, by the Legislature or through legislative authority. The duties must be performed independently and without control of a superior power, other than the law, unless they be those of an inferior or subordinate office, created or authorized by the Legislature and by it placed under the control of a superior office or body. It must have permanency and continuity, and the incumbent must take and file an oath, hold a commission, and give an official bond, if required by proper authority. State ex rel. Barney v. Hawkins, 79 M 506, 257 P 411 (1927). See also State ex rel. Nagle v. Page, 98 M 14, 37 P2d 575 (1934).

Money, Banking and the Federal Reserve (VIDEO)

The FED has to hate this video with a passion!

by The Ludwig von Mises Institute
Sun, Oct 11th, 2009 12:00:00 am




Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson understood "The Monster". But to most Americans today, Federal Reserve is just a name on the dollar bill. They have no idea of what the central bank does to the economy, or to their own economic lives; of how and why it was founded and operates; or of the sound money and banking that could end the statism, inflation, and business cycles that the Fed generates.


Dedicated to Murray N. Rothbard, steeped in American history and Austrian economics, and featuring Ron Paul, Joseph Salerno, Hans Hoppe, and Lew Rockwell, this extraordinary film is the clearest, most compelling explanation ever offered of the Fed, and why curbing it must be our first priority.

Alan Greenspan is not, we're told, happy about this 42-minute blockbuster. Watch it, and you'll understand why. This is economics and history as they are meant to be: fascinating, informative, and motivating. This movie could change America.

Active Duty Troops In Iraq Are Wearing Oath Keeper Tabs: “… what we are wearing while over here in Iraq”

A Three Percent Oath Keeper in Iraq



The above photo was submitted by an active duty Oath Keeper in Mosul Iraq, sporting an Oath Keepers tab. As his other tab and patch make clear, he is also a “Three Percenter.” (see below)


The photo was also posted over at the Sipsey Street Irregulars blog with this message:

Just thought the WRSA [Western Rifle Shooters Association] and the Sipsey Street boys might like to see what we are wearing while over here in Iraq. We . . . know what the deal is, and when the time comes (which it will), we know where we stand and continue to make preparations for it.

Keep up the good work!
Regards from Mosul,
K7C

All I can say to that is Hooah! Thank you for your service, K7C, and for stepping up. Give our best regards to your brothers in arms, and let them know we have your six back home. If any of you need anything at all, from socks to helmets, to body armor, just ask and it will be provided. We need you to stay safe and come home healthy.

Oath Keepers here stateside, let your brothers on active duty in Iraq know how you feel. They do come here to read comments, count on that.

Does your Sheriff believe you are a potential terrorist if you --

Buy gold, own guns, use a watch or binoculars, donate to charity or other mundane things?

Does the sheriff of Lincoln County Montana, Daryl R Anderson, believe these things?
Does he let the Feds run his department?
Call him and ask him, and ask all his deputies if they do their own thinking or let the feds do their thinking for them. Ask them if they have EVER even bothered to get the other side from any citizen!

A new video produced in association with the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI and narrated by former Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway urges people to report suspicious activity that could constitute terrorism, behavior that includes buying gold, owning guns, using a watch or binoculars, donating to charity, and all manner of mundane things.


The eight minute video was produced by the Colorado-based Center for Empowered Living and Learning (CELL) in conjunction with the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference to promote CELL’s $7 million dollar exhibit entitled “Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere: Understanding the Threat of Terrorism,” which is currently on display at the Mizel Museum in Denver, Colorado.

The production was funded by a $30,400 grant from the Department of Homeland Security and made in association with the Colorado Information Analysis Center.

The video wastes no time in advancing the DHS agenda to single out average Americans as the new target of the war on terror, a process that we have exhaustively documented for years through all manner of official reports, from the infamous MIAC document to the DHS “Domestic Extremism Lexicon” memo that equates people who question authority with violent extremism and terrorism.



In every single instance portrayed in the CELL video, the terrorists are either white or black American citizens. As the Denver Westworld blog notes, in John Elway’s world, everything is suspicious and everything is indicative of “a world where average-looking white people want to murder you and everyone around you.”

“Anyone can become a victim of terrorism, any time, anywhere. Together, we can change this. Each of us has a responsibility to protect our community and we can do so by recognizing the signs of terrorism and taking proper action to stop it,” says Elway.

The clip characterizes all manner of mundane activities as potential signs of terrorism, splitting them into eight different categories, and shows other Americans reporting people to the authorities for such behavior.

Under the heading of “funding,” the video shows an image of U.S. Liberty Head gold coins, suggesting that people who buy or handle gold bullion are probable terrorists. In the same montage, an image of a handgun is flashed, implying that gun owners are also under suspicion.

Using a watch, a pair of binoculars, or donating to a charity are all potential Al-Qaeda behavior, the video implies.

Do you use e mail or the telephone to find out information about things? You’re probably a terrorist, according to the DHS, which classifies such behavior as “elicitation,” one of the eight signs of terror.

Do you occasionally monitor police radio, as thousands did during the recent G20 protests in Pittsburgh? You’re a terrorist.

Do you notice surveillance cameras or occasionally attempt to watch big brother back? You’re a terrorist.

Petty criminal behavior such as theft and trespassing is also flagged as a sign of terrorism.

“The success of defending our community’s safety depends upon our shared commitment,” says Elway at the end of the clip. “It’s a beautiful day here in Colorado and there can be many more like this with the help of people like you.”

In other words, report your neighbors for everyday activity otherwise you’ll be hit by another 9/11.
As we have continually highlighted, the entire apparatus of the war on terror has been shifted to target the American people. By defining mundane activities as potential terror, those in power want to create a society where everyone feels under suspicion and guilty even if they are a completely law-abiding citizen. Indeed, the implication is that only those who join the tyranny and become informers for the state can feel truly patriotic and avoid the glare of big brother.

As we discussed with the MIAC report and a whole host of others, the federal government apparently has very little concern for any perceived terrorist threat to America coming from the MIddle East or Al-Qaeda cells within the country, and indeed if any such threat existed we are only in more danger, because the feds have been busy training law enforcement and brainwashing the public that law-abiding American citizens who exercise their legal right to purchase firearms, who own gold, who take photographs, donate to charities or who attempt to find out information about things, are potential terrorists who should be grassed up to the authorities without delay.

American Police Force- Cabazon redux on Crow land?

Dollar, Gog Magog war? Flu pandemic-confluence of world-shaking events for October / November possible?


American Police Force -Hardin, Montana and Crow Tribal Lands

October 7, 2009

Hawk

Much has already been written and broadcast regarding the controversy of the American Police Force deal to take over the Hardin, Montana Prison, its posing as the Hardin Police Force replete with Mercedes SUV's with decals saying Hardin Police Force, its planned massive expansion onto Crow Tribal Lands to create a Mercenary and Private Police Training Center, and the resultant controversies & wide public notoriety causing the Montana Attorney General to begin investigations of Capt. Michael Hilton and American Police Force dealings with the Two Rivers Authority.


Steve Quayle, Alex Jones, the Billings Gazette, and the good and patriotic people of Montana have alerted and done yeoman's work to bring this potentially unconstitutional affair into the bright sunlight so that Americans can see a future where Foreign Mercenaries will no doubt be involved with policing and incarcerating them and perhaps foreign terrorists or anyone else designated as an insurgent or terrorist by the Federal and State Governments. One can read the Department of Homeland Security Report on domestic Terror Groups and its brother report from Missouri, the infamous MIAC Report which cited 2nd amendment advocates, Right to Life advocates, Constitutional Advocates, and even voters for Ron Paul and Chuck Baldwin as potential terrorists, to see just who might be placed behind the razor wire. Add in Swine Flu Vaccine refusers, President Obama's Top 25 Enemies List, and now journalists who refuse to burn their sources, as well as Bloggers.
 
However, so much has been said that now the news cycle is beginning to see some spin attempts by PR flacks, local "boss hog" Politicians and elites, and even the Governor himself who assured Montanans that this was really about ....a card shark with many aliases, felony convictions, and potential fraudulent dealings with Hardin ........not any governmental conspiracy against the people. One could easily ask, "Where was the Governor, the Attorney General, the Montana Legislature, and the Montana Congressional delegation before Steve Quayle and Alex Jones sounded the alarm and the Billings Gazette took up the torch of good 1 rst amendment reporting and speech? " "Why didn't they follow these potentially fraudulent and unconstitutional proceedings and investigate them prior to the huge public outcry and media exposure?

HUGE NEWS! FEDERAL JUDGE Carter sets Trial Date for Obama's Eligibility!!!

The expedited trial has been set for Jan. 26, 2010, just 4 1/2 months from now!

I and many other concerned veterans and citizens attended the hearing today in Federal Court in Santa Ana in the lawsuit against Barack Obama to determine his eligibility to be President and Commander in
Chief.. About 150 people showed up, almost all in support of the lawsuit to demand that Obama release his birth certificate and other records that he has hidden from the American people.

Judge David Carter refused to hear Obama's request for dismissal today, instead setting a hearing date for Oct. 5, 2009 since Obama's attorneys had just filed the motion on Friday. He indicated there was almost no chance that this case would be dismissed. Obama is arguing this lawsuit was filed in the wrong court if you can believe that. I guess Obama would prefer a "kangaroo court" instead of a Federal court! Assuming Judge Carter denies Obama's motion for dismissal, he will likely then order expedited discovery which will force Obama to release his birth certificate in a timely manner (if he has one).

The judge, WHO IS A FORMER U.S. MARINE, repeated several times that this is A VERY SERIOUS CASE which must be resolved quickly so that the troops know that their Commander in Chief is eligible to hold that position and issue lawful orders to our military in this time of war.

He basically said OBAMA MUST PROVE HIS ELIGIBILITY to the court! He said Americans deserve to know the truth about their President!

The two U.S. Attorneys representing Barack Obama tried everything they could to sway the judge that this case was frivolous, but Carter would have none of it and cut them off several times.. Obama's attorneys left the courtroom after about the 90 minute hearing looking defeated and nervous.

Great day in America for the U.S. Constitution!!! The truth about Barack Obama's eligibility will be known fairly soon - Judge Carter practically guaranteed it!

Video from the press conference after the hearing coming soon. Congratulations to plaintiffs attorney Dr. Orly Taitz! She did a great job and won some huge victories today. She was fearless!

Enraged By Fascist Insurrection?

By Andrew C. Wallace
October 4, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

I refuse to accept the Unconstitutional and Fascist Government put into power by the FASCIST INSURRECTION and will resist these Traitorous Usurpers who make War on us in every possible way.
I expect to be taken out, one way or the other for this, or if my writing is effective in helping to defeat the Insurrection of our Republic, and the looting of trillions of dollars; but I won’t lose much of my allotted time to live because the unconstitutional stimulus bill has been passed directing that us old people be killed by denial of care.
The Super Rich Elitist Families, who hide from public exposure, control both political parties and have instituted a comprehensive INSURRECTION of our Republic by putting Traitors into all branches and levels of government who support unconstitutional laws, repress and loot our people while denying us the Rule of Law.

Let’s get one thing absolutely clear, “Barack Obama is not the Constitutional President of the United States for the simple fact that he refuses to meet the Constitutional requirements to be President” PERIOD. He is a usurper, puppet, criminal and traitor in the office because not a single official or judge at any level of government, nor any member of the media, or party leader would dare challenge the Elite Super Rich Families who pull Obama’s strings and pay them.

It is TREASON and INSURRECTION when Usurpers routinely enact and enforce Unconstitutional laws and otherwise commit criminal acts that loot and destroy our Republic while depriving us of our constitutional rights. For their ill gotten gains, they have made war on the people, and for that there is a sure and certain retribution in common law and in hell.

THE STORY BEHIND THE MONTANA FREEMEN

This article is one man's opinion on many of the questions about who the "freemen" are and what they knew.  I could not find the name of the Author, but the article is in the public domain. 
Read this article and you will realize why the Feds had to silence these men, keep them from telling the public what they discovered and destroy the evidence of those discoveries. Editor's note.

THE STORY BEHIND THE MONTANA FREEMEN IS ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT STORIES OF THE CENTURY !!!

Author Unknown. Published in 2002. Public Domain, see the link at the end.

The Revolutionary War was fought for one purpose and one end and that is SOVEREIGNTY ! After the war, the colonies were each separate and Independant countries and still are today. Every FREEMAN 21 years of age or older who owned land and was able to vote was a king in his own home. He was untaxable. His land was untaxable and his income was untaxable. Nobody can tax the King, the King is Sovereign. The FREEMEN of MONTANA had long ago renounced their U.S. citizenship status in favor of being an American National (Different From a State Citizen, But Similar). They severed all contracts with the government so they would not be under it’s jurisdiction. The U.S. government is a Foreign Corporation with respect to a state. A corporation cannot have citizens, only franchises. When you except a social security # or you register to vote , you elect to be a U.S citizen, which the courts have ruled is of SUBJECT STATUS, Not SOVEREIGN.

The Law That Never Was ! Income Tax law NEVER RATIFIED?

Bill Benson's Case going to the Supreme Court of the United States after over 20 years. Your help is needed.

Do you think you will ever see this on Glenn Beck?
Background:  Bill Benson working with Montana's own Red Beckman, travelled to all 48 States involved in the ratification process of the 16th Amendment, (the income tax amendment) and collected from the archives of those state legislatures over 17 thousand (17,000) certified (notarized) documents proving once and for all that the 16th Amendment was never ratified. Bill and Red then published a large hardbound book called "The Law That Never Was" in which they outlined the process they followed to get that certified evidence, and some of the evidence itself.
Bill has spent over two decades trying to get that evidence in front of the American People. He is a true American Patriot and has sacrificed everything, including spending time in jail over these issues. See the story below from his Consitututional  Attorney Jeff Dickstein as related by Devvy Kidd.

BENSON GOES TO SUPREME COURT FOR ALL OF US
By: Devvy
September 21, 2009
© 2009 - NewsWithViews.com

"Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions." -- James Madison, essay in the National Gazette, March 27, 1792

Over the years, I have written about many court battles. Bill Benson's has been going on for many years and now is headed to the U.S. Supreme Court. For those not familiar with his case, it is about the First Amendment. It is about YOUR First Amendment rights. This is one of the most important First Amendment cases to go to the U.S. Supreme Court in the last 100 years. The government's arguments in this case have been so frivolous as to border on absurd. The lower courts have deliberately ignored the main issues because they don't wan to deal with this and that is why it now must go before the "high" court:

"In this historic 16th Amendment litigation, the Government has sued Bill Benson seeking an injunction prohibiting him from falsely telling people the Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was not ratified and therefore people are not required to file an income tax return. The Government contends it is entitled to an injunction because Benson is promoting an abusive tax shelter, conduct made subject to a penalty per 26 U.S.C. Section 6700."

This case isn't about tax evasion or "paying your fair share." Benson has never promoted any form of abusive tax shelters. It is about the First Amendment. It is about oppressive government deciding they can change the language of the First Amendment to suit their own totalitarian needs. It is about real men who have sacrificed their freedom (Bill Benson), good times and forget getting paid big legal fees (Becraft and Dickstein) the whole way to stand and fight for what is right. Now, we must fight with them with our support.

CAMP FEMA - Will you go quietly?

AMERICAN LOCKDOWN: Evidence of Internment Camps in America

Recent legislation attempting to legitimize the use of internment camps to detain U.S. citizens in the event of an uprising or civil unrest has many people asking what nation they live in.

In a country born out of political dissent, we watch our leaders in Washington slowly pass bills that label ordinary Americans as thought criminals and potential domestic terrorists for simply questioning the actions of their government. We see third party candidates and their impassioned supporters listed in secret government reports that call their allegiance into question and brand them as fanatics and extremists.

Senate committee hearings and official FBI documents further illustrate the mindset of our elected officials as they classify homeschoolers, gun rights activists and anti-abortionists as threats against the existing social and political order; by default creating an entire nation of radicals and revolutionaries - where everyone is a suspect… equally guilty until proven otherwise.





How has our government shown that they will deal with these people? The same way as every other totalitarian regime throughout history - marginalize their activities then lock them up. Prisons are being built; internment camps constructed and laws passed that deal severely with anyone who dares to step out of line or ask too many questions.

Who are the potential domestic terrorists that will end up in these camps? Read the documentation for yourself and hear what our experts have to say. States rights take a front row seat in this new political thriller that is guaranteed to send shivers up your spine. Find out where the true power of the people rests in halting these treasonous activities NOW!

IS YOUR SHERIFF KEEPING HIS OATH? How is he keeping it?

Sheriffs Begin Revolt Against Federal Authority
by Sheriff Mack

YouTube
Sat, Sep 19th, 2009 12:00:00 am

More info visit: http://www.sheriffmack.com/



From Sheriff Mack


Hi, I'm Richard Mack, former sheriff of Graham County, Arizona, and long-time crusader for freedom and individual rights. Right now, it is vital that we restore the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. The greatest threat we face today is not terrorists; it is our own federal government. If America is conquered or ruined it will be from within, not a foreign enemy.

In 1994 I filed a lawsuit challenging the Brady bill to stop the federal government from forcing another unfunded mandate down our throats. I won a decision at the US Supreme Court on the issue of States' rights. This suit catapulted me to national attention, with television appearances on the Donahue Show, Good Morning America, Crossfire, Nightline, CNBC, and SHOWTIME'S the AMERICAN CANDIDATE. I've been on over 500 radio talk shows nationwide, ranging from G. Gordon Liddy and Charles Goyette to Derry Brownfield and Pat Buchannan. I have traveled the country extensively and I've seen first hand the horrible side effects from politicians who have replaced our Constitution with their own political agendas and party platforms.

I lecture and give seminars on constitutional issues relating to gun control, law enforcement, States' rights, the farce, otherwise known as the drug war, and the oath of office. I have also been a consultant for lawyers, and people in general helping them with cases of unlawful arrests and police misconduct. I have stood for "the little guy" against "big brother" government.

On this site you'll find many articles and extracts from books I've written on many subjects related to maintaining our freedom as a people. I am deeply committed to the belief that government should exist to protect the freedoms of the individuals whom it serves. We must return to those principles that our country was founded upon!

The founders of our nation were afraid of one thing more than any other... government having too much power! Remember, they escaped from the tyranny of an oppressive and controlling government when they established this nation. They fought and died for it, and now we are letting these same freedoms they fought for slip away little by little, without a second thought.

Please join me in the fight to regain our rights, while the price to pay is less than death. I am committed to doing all we can peacefully to get our country back.

In order to succeed, we must first make ourselves aware of the problem. We must educate ourselves, and then we can know what action to take. One of the best and easiest solutions is to depend on local officials, especially the sheriff, to stand against federal intervention and federal criminality.

And this is the purpose of my work: I write and speak so that others will become educated and free.

What rights does the constitution actually guarantee?
Why is it important that we not allow our means of self-defense to be taken from us?
What are the dangers of giving government too much power?
What can we do to remain strong as individuals and families, so that we can remain strong as a nation?
How do we win the war on illegal drugs?
What can the sheriff do to protect us from all enemies, both foreign and domestic?

Please take a few moments to read and think about these things. It really may be a life or death situation!

Who is convicted felon (in France) GEORGE SOROS, and why should you care ?

Soros: Republic Enemy #1

by Jim O'Neill

Sat, Sep 19th, 2009 12:00:00 am

Is it possible to lay the global financial meltdown, the radicalizing of the Democratic Party, and America’s moral decline, at the feet of one man?

It is indeed possible.

If George Soros isn’t the world’s preeminent “malignant messianic narcissist,” he’ll do until the real thing comes along. Move over, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot. There’s a new kid on the block.

What we have in Soros, is a multi-billionaire atheist, with skewed moral values, and a sociopath’s lack of conscience. He considers himself to be a world class philosopher, despises capitalism, and just loves social engineering.

Uh oh. Can you say “trouble,” boys and girls?

Soros is a real life version of Dr. Evil—with Obama in the role of Mini-Me. Which is not as humorous as it might at first sound. In fact, it’s bone-deep chilling.

France has upheld an earlier conviction against Soros, for felony insider trading. Soros was fined 2.9 million dollars.

When the Democrats and Republicans held their conventions in 2000, Soros held Shadow Party conventions in the same cities, at the same time. Republican Senator John McCain was the keynote speaker at the “Soros Convention” (so labelled by the late Robert Novak) in Philadelphia.

The Money Monopoly: How the Federal Reserve rips you off !

Ron Paul in the American Conservative Magazine

by Ron Paul
American Conservative Magazine
Fri, Sep 18th, 2009 12:00:00 am

Most Americans haven’t thought much about the strange entity that controls the nation’s money. Visitors to Washington can see the Federal Reserve’s palatial headquarters, the monetary parallel to the Supreme Court or the U.S. Capitol. We hear the Fed chairman testify to Congress, citing complex data, making predictions, and attempting to intimidate anyone who would take issue. He postures as master of the universe, completely knowledgeable and in control.


But how much do we really know about what goes on inside the Fed? Even with the newest round of bailouts, journalists had difficulty determining where the money was coming from and where it was headed. From its founding in 1913, secrecy and inside deals have been part of the way the Fed works.

It says that its job is to keep inflation in check. But this is like the car industry claiming to control road congestion. The Fed might attempt to stop the effects of inflation, namely rising prices. But under the old definition of inflation—an artificial increase in the supply of money and credit—the reason for its existence is to generate more, not less.

The banking industry has always had trouble with the idea of a free market that provides opportunities for both profits and losses. The first part, the industry likes. The second is another matter. That is the reason for the constant drive in American history toward the centralization of money, a trend that not only benefits the largest banks with the most to lose from a sound-money system, but also the government, which is able to use an elastic system as an alternative form of revenue support.

Whenever instability turns up, we see efforts to socialize the losses, but rarely do people question the source of instability. Economist Jesús Huerta de Soto places the blame on the institution of fractional-reserve banking. This is the notion that depositors’ money in use as cash may also be loaned out for speculative projects, then re-deposited. The system works as long as people do not attempt to withdraw their money all at once. In the face of such a demand, banks turn to other banks to provide liquidity. But when the failure becomes system-wide, they turn to government.

The core of the problem is the conglomeration of two distinct functions of a bank. The first is warehousing, whereby banks keep money safe and provide checking, ATM access, record keeping, and online payment, services for which consumers are traditionally asked to pay. The second service the bank provides is a loan service, seeking out investments and putting money at risk in search of return.

The institution of fractional reserves mixes these functions, such that warehousing becomes a source for lending. The bank loans out money that has been warehoused—and stands ready to use in checking accounts or other forms of checkable deposits—and that loaned money is deposited yet again in checkable deposits. It is loaned out again and deposited, with each depositor treating the loan money as an asset on the books. In this way, fractional reserves create new money, pyramiding it on a fraction of old deposits. An initial deposit of $1,000, thanks to this “money multiplier,” turns into $10,000. The Fed adds reserves to the balances of member banks in the hope of inspiring ever more lending.

Are the active Military the only true Patriots?

Below is a comment posted by a friend of my son

(who currently serves with the Montana N.G. Air force) in which he (Sean) (after some earlier back and forth comments in which he (Sean) went on the attack and after doing so, Garrett (my son) asked
the question if Sean thought that those in the armed forces were the only patriots. Sean then spun this question into the following statement:

Sean Keighley

I was just told that a veteran isn't any more of a patriot to his country than someone who goes to a rally and protests. Anyone else think that way? Was my time in Afghanistan a waist? Should i have just gone to the courthouse and yelled throug...h a bull horn that i wanted the bad men to go away? Does that even out? Please comment on your thoughts...

This was my (Jeff)response:

Since I was also in the picture I guess I'm one of the "haters" too.

So I reluctantly enter this discussion.
Seeing as word Patriot has ruffled some feathers. Let's start with how it is defined in the dictionary

Patriot:
1. a person who loves, supports, and defends his or her country and its interests with devotion.

2. a person who regards himself or herself as a defender, esp. of individual rights, against presumed interference by the federal government.

3. (initial capital letter) Military. a U.S. Army anti-aircraft missile with a range of 37 mi. (60 km) and a 200-lb. (90 kg) warhead, launched from a tracked vehicle with radar and computer guidance.

No where in this definition does it mention that a soldier is the supreme patriot as you & others seem to suggest.

Only you are qualified to answer your question if going to Afghanistan was a waste of your time. I'm glad it is something you are proud of. So, perhaps there's your answer.

While I agree Bin Laden is a bad man, and should be pursued and brought to justice. He and his group are not the ONLY threat to the Our freedom (the Constitution).

If you go to the link below and Click on "Freedom Index" in the 4th paragraph. ... Read More

http://www.lewrockwell.com/vance/vance178.html

You will find (according to this organization) that in the 111th Congress only 3 Congressmen and 1 Senator have a 100% voting record in accordance with the Constitution.

That's 461 of 465 Elected Represenitives who dishonor the very Oath they Swore to Protect.

Seeing as it is the Constitution & Bill of Rights that best defends the concept of Individual Liberty (Freedom) I choose to fight this attack on freedom on the home front. I attempt to do so through peaceful demonstration, hopefully exposing the corruption within our own government in the attempt to get "We the People" involved in the process of returning this country back to it's proper role.

I Do salute your voluntary service to country, but I do not accept your dismissal of the importance of what we, and others, are trying to do.

I would like to leave you with a recent video from Adam Kokesh who served in the Marines & has currently thrown his name in the hat to run as a congressman in New Mexico.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk8ADLLYgqM

So anyhow gang I'm looking for are some opinions on my response. I will in No way be offended if you tell me I was out of line.

Thanks, Jeff

Why Do We Fear the Word Militia? What Does it Mean Anyway? And Who is Feeding you this FEAR?

The Word on the Street about anything associated with "Militia" was that it is "Anti-Government" - well what exactly is that? Does that mean you don't agree with all the Government Tells you, asks of YOU, Flat Out Demands of You.. I don't know anyone that agrees with EVERYTHING the Government Does, so I guess everyone is, well, Anti-Government.

So does Anti-Government mean some sort of Fear to the People, that some group of Psycho Vigilante Citizens is going to overthrow local government? Like What, the Commissioners, .. the Governor.. maybe the Mayor? I mean Really.


What is the Real Fear to all this?

LINE OF SUCCESSION IF OBAMA/SOETORO REMOVED FROM OFFICE

If our Constitution is to have any legitimacy, Obama/Soetoro must be removed from office. It doesn't matter if a long form birth certificate is produced that can be independently authenticated which shows he was born in Kenya, Kansas or Hawaii -- it is his father's status that makes Obama/Soetoro forever ineligible. He was born with dual citizenship and no amount of lies, twisting the truth with silliness about his mother 'gifting' citizenship to her son can change that one fact. Should an authentic birth certificate prove he was born in Kenya, that will further cement what millions know: Obama/Soetoro is a master liar who has shamelessly manipulated the American people for his own gain.

PATRIOTS: TIME FOR MAJOR PUSH ON USURPER'S CITIZENSHIP ISSUE

By: Devvy
September 15, 2009
© 2009 - NewsWithViews.com

On September 12, 2009, Americans descended on Washington, DC., in one of the largest displays of citizen disgust towards government in the history of this republic. While this patriotic day of fed up Americans was happening, the usurper (Obama/Soetoro) made sure he was out of town. As usual. Obama aka Soetoro has taken a real fondness to flying around on Air Force One with his inventory of teleprompters and stable of fawning sycophants.

Let's back up one day to September 11, 2009. The flim flam man was at the Pentagon with his militant, Marxist wife and bag lady of fashion, Michelle. The annual ceremony for those murdered on 9/11. At the same time in a court room in Georgia, Obama's lackeys were playing more games in an important case. Americans keeping up on current events know there have been dozens of lawsuits challenging the citizenship eligibility of this guy in the White House who has used five different names (Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, aka Barry Obama, aka Barack Dunham, aka Barry Dunham) and concealed every single record of his life except what he wants you to see.

Why continue to use worthless paper as money?

The Patriotic and Moral Imperative for Owning Gold and Silver
by Johnny Silver Bear

Practically all of the problems in our country can be attributed to the continuing subjugation of the U.S. Constitution. (The constitution mandates only Gold and Silver coin as legal tender.)  Had the remedies for such actions, which are provided in the text of the Constitution, been applied, many of our former, (as well as current), leaders would have been prosecuted and removed from public office. One of the main reasons that the American people have allowed the wholesale dismantling of their freedoms and liberties stems from the effectiveness of the all pervasive misinformation campaign that has been waged for over 100 years. We are not being shepherded by altruistic wise men, but, rather, herded by megalomaniacal desperadoes.

"If one half of one percent of Americans each went out and bought ten ounces of silver, that would amount to 14,000,000 ounces of silver. COMEX has much less than 100,000,000 ounces of silver available. That much buying pressure would have an explosive effect on the price. This could force the hand of the cartel and help change the world for the better."

Kenneth Parsons, aka Johnny Silver Bear, is an IT professional in Texas and the President of Silver Bear Communications, Inc. Mr. Parsons has been involved in the advertising and promotion industry for over twenty-five years. He is the editor of the Silver Bear Cafe and, as such, is responsible for shaping the content of "The Bear." Mr. Parsons has served as CEO for Fiberscape Communications, Inc., a web site development / hosting and streaming multi-media company in Richardson, Texas since 1997. He is a Jeffersonian and a passionate supporter of the U.S. Constitution. He is also an outspoken advocate of gold money and equal tax rates.
