America, perhaps most of the world, is in the middle of a crisis that grows each day.
There was the housing bubble that began during the Clinton administration and erupted at the end of the Bush Administration.
There were the 911 attacks, and the WMD ruse under the Bush administration that resulted in a war that has lasted for 10 years despite the promises of Barak Obama that he would put an end to these wars of conquest.
There was the bailout, and the stimulus that resulted in tens of trillions of dollars that have been created, and dispersed throughout the Obama administration in order to keep the global economy from collapsing. They heaped trillions in debt upon the American citizen, and it appears, today, that the only thing keeping this economy afloat is the constant flow of Federal Reserve Notes into a dying economy.
There are the uncounted number of attacks by so-called ‘law enforcement’ that go unpunished, and in many cases have resulted in the courts adding to the insult by declaring new and unconstitutional authorities for the police.
There was the BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico that has shriveled into non-existence by the silence of the media.
There is the Japanese catastrophe that they have now been forced to admit is far worse than we’ve been led to believe. Another extremely important issue relegated to trivia by a corrupt media.
There is the horrific weather throughout our farm belt that will more than likely result in a very poor crop season. Some well known economic advisers, such as Jim Rogers and Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, are not only advising people to build a storable food supply, but to arm themselves for what appears to be inevitable.
Throughout the growing unrest, the turbulence, the looming economic catastrophe, the wars, and the natural disasters there are certain things that will not change.
First, we will refuse to elect candidates that will adhere to the rule of law, hold them accountable for their unlawful actions, and send them to prison for violations of the oath of office.
Second, we will refuse to demand the impeachment of judges who continue to foster the centralization of power to the federal government, and the dismantling of our system of law.
Third, the mainstream media will not only avoid topics that enlighten the people on the subject of government abuse, but they will subsidize, and condone it for the “good of us all”, or more likely to line their pockets.
Fourth, no matter how abusive the system becomes, how obvious the lawlessness, how utterly ridiculous are the actions of the police, prosecutors, and judges, the jury’s will more than likely convict people who are clearly innocent of wrong doing.
Fifth, and certainly not the end; through all our tribulations, the need to see clearly, and understand the difference between good and evil, there will always be a large contingent of the people who would prefer to throw the rest into the depths of hell rather than to stand up for good.
I have watched for decades as the American dream began to wane, shrivel, turn to war, depravity, and economic disaster while all the time being told that I was wrong, and that this whole nightmare is nothing more than a conspiracy theory.
The majority seems always to be of the condition that to see the obvious, to take action, and to live in an illusion of peace is far more digestible than to partake in the discomfort of the dynamic fight for freedom.
Let us remember that our fantasy of peace, and security has come at a very expensive price tag, both in dollars and human casualties. Most will tune into the TV, and buy up the propaganda about terrorist activities, Taliban, al Quida, and whoever else is out there that we wish to demonize. Others will question the veracity of the subject matter, but few will take any quantifiable actions.
In these few paragraphs are enough reasons to take action, some positive action. I don’t mean standing in front of a politician and screaming that you are aware of how crooked he or she might be. I don’t mean telling everyone that the media is corrupt, and that there are people who control the world agenda; you’re a day late for that. My father was telling people about the criminal acts, and plots long before the alternative media came into existence on the Internet. As a matter of fact most would not have dreamed of the Internet when he started his rants.
Each day, think of your children, your grandchildren, or any child that might be dear to you, and repeat to yourself they will have to pay for my ambivalence and inaction.
Remember that ‘death cares not who deals the cards’. Don’t dwell on who is in the background, but rather what must be done to stop the current trend.
Organize a core group of people; the neighbor, brother, sister, or whoever else might realize that something needs to be done.
Produce a game plan that your core group can adhere to, and stick with the plan.
Although I have placed suggestions about what needs to be done, other than telling your neighbor that there are bad people in the world, I still receive comments that I haven’t defined a course of action. So here are some thoughts by the numbers.
1. Start with the person who can actually make an immediate change. That person is the sheriff.
2. The sheriff is the highest elected official in the county, the only true constitutional law enforcement agent, and the person responsible for keeping the courts open to the people so that they may obtain redress of grievance.
3. Start with a letter that explains to the sheriff his real job, not that which has been promoted by the judicial system.
4. Make it clear that you expect an answer based on the oath of office not on what the illegitimate judiciary has contrived.
5. Enlighten the ...

The definition of a peaceful revolution, as far as I can tell, is that the people are beaten, abused, robbed and taxed for the privilege of being crushed. Then when the system has had enough foreplay to satisfy the blood lust, the people are sold a change that further crushes their inalienable rights.
The truth is “that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.” So we suffer, as will our children, their children, and so on until we have been backed into a corner from which there is no other way out.
This is the way of the world; lies, deceit, suffering, ambivalence, and cruelty. The lies, cruelty, and deceit are a form of government regulation through hatred, and intimidation. The suffering and ambivalence is all up to the individual who prostrates him or herself at the foot of some bureaucrat who was never lawfully given the power that they impose by force of arms.
We have been lied to so often that we can no longer reconcile what is truth, and what is fiction. In our struggle to discern what reality is we spin into a state of confusion mindlessly repeating some phrase that is continually broadcast from a talking head. This is our armor against a world that has been made hostile to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
The problem with all those who profess the concept of a peaceful revolution is that they never truly understand what is taking place around them. Dr. Paul Craig Roberts recently stated that if the people in Libya succeed in overthrowing the government through arms, they will be more successful than the Egyptian’s.
Dr. Roberts understood what was actually taking place, and comments by Joel Skousen emphasized what Dr. Roberts realizes. Skousen makes the point that the Egyptian protests were theater, and that the U.S. has paid agents provocateurs throughout the Middle East. So, using the same propaganda that has become the religion of peace brought about by the Gandhi revolution, we work toward unachievable goals. To think that a few months down the road the people of Egypt will actually have freedom is just ‘rose colored glasses’.
Mahatma Gandhi said, “Peace is the most powerful weapon of mankind. It takes more courage to take a blow than to give one. It takes more courage to try and talk things through than to start a war.” In my opinion, it takes a man of common intelligence to understand the need for peace, but it takes a man of fortitude, and courage to stand up for what is right, and that may mean the ability to deliver a blow before all is lost.
I had a friend who was a prisoner of war. The details of which are unimportant except to note that he received the most brutal of treatments. So barbaric was the torture that he would never speak of it except for one occasion.
On that occasion he spoke before the congressional committee hearing testimony on women serving in combat. He described the torture he was subjected to, I’m sure in excruciating detail, and then asked the members of the committee if they expected a man to stand by and watch a women be subjected to such torture.
The truth of the matter is that we men have been neutered. At one time boys would fight, someone would intervene, and then the boys would shake hands and nothing further was said. Even in the catholic grammar school I attended, the priests or nuns would pull the boys apart, and nothing further was done except to facilitate a handshake.
Most schools in New York City had rifle teams. You could actually go on public transportation with a firearm, and no one would freak out, and scream bloody murder. There were no swat teams to come along to execute a person for carrying a lawfully owned firearm. Crime rates were much lower, we were more civilized, and it would not be considered any sort of crime to defend your girlfriend. As a matter of fact you were looked down upon if you did not defend the girl to which you were attached. Today self-defense, protecting another or any sort of fight can carry substantial penalties dished out by the state.
A reasonable person might ask, what is the claim upon which the state makes a case for actions against those of us who choose self defense? And the answer is that we must be kept in line so that when we awake from this coma we will have given up our arms in the name of peace, and receive serfdom for our efforts.
In order to protect our self esteem we lie to ourselves. We have convinced ourselves that what actually was did not exist. We have changed reality so that begging for mercy is seen as something admirable. I can’t believe that Gandhi subscribed to such a notion.
Did Gandhi actually say that “It takes more courage to take a blow than to give one.”, or was it fabricated for the public? If he did make such a statement, I have to ask what type of man can stand by and watch as others are beaten and murdered? Would not any man have the same reaction as my old buddy who pointed out his sentiments to the congressional committee?
Gandhi was also credited with stating, “Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.” This quote might lead one to believe that Gandhi was a realist, and understood in the final analysis that it was less likely for a tyrant to come to power if the people in general were armed, and willing to fight for that which they believed.
The truth of the Gandhi movement was not as glorious as has been preached. Tens of thousands of Gandhi’s countrymen were killed. The British raped the nation while the ‘peaceful’ protests were ...

We would normally post articles such as this in the forum. However, the conduct of this government was questionable, now it is becoming dangerous.

Even the Washington Post describes it like something out of Orwell’s 1984. The FCC has approved a presidential alert system. Obama may soon appear on your television or call your cell phone to warn you about the next specious al-Qaeda underwear bombing event.
Commissioners voted last week to require television and radio stations, cable systems and satellite TV providers to participate in a test that would have them receive and transmit a live code that includes an alert message issued by the president. No date has been set for the test, according to the Post.
Once again, the government has imposed an unreasonable and absurd mandate on business and the American people.

“The Federal Communications Commission today took action to help pave the way for the first-ever Presidential alert to be aired across the United States on the Nation’s Emergency Alert System (EAS),” the FCC announced on February 3 in a press release. “The national test will help determine the reliability of the EAS system and its effectiveness in notifying the public of emergencies and potential danger nationwide and regionally.”
As Next Generation EAS systems become operational over the next few years, they will complement other public alert and warning systems now being developed, including FEMA’s Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) and the Commercial Mobile Alert System that will enable consumers to receive alerts through a variety of multi-media platforms on their smart-phones, blackberries and other mobile broadband devices.
If implemented, the president will be able to commandeer your smart phone any time he wants and for any reason the government deems necessary.
In November, communications company Alcatel-Lucent announced that it’s creating aBroadcast Message Center that will allow government agencies to send cell phone users specific information in the event of a local, state or national emergency, including those now ubiquitous government warnings about fantastic terror plots that invariably fizzle out or are run by FBI informants and agents provocateurs. It seems not a week or two passes that somegullible Muslim is duped by the agency into a fantastic terror plot (for instance, blowing up Christmas trees).
The Broadcast Message Center is designed to force mobile phone manufacturers to adopt the Federal Communication Commission’s Commercial Mobile Alert System. Under the new system, all phones would receive emergency alerts directly from government bureaucrats.

Former DHS boss Tom Ridge has admitted that the government exploits terror alerts for political gain. Ridge said he “was pushed to raise the security alert on the eve of President Bush’s re-election, something he saw as politically motivated and worth resigning over.” A specific al-Qaeda terror alert hyped up prior to the election was downgraded by the DHS after Bush beat fellow bonesman Kerry in the election.
Obama’s warnings about a supposed al-Qaeda attack on targets in Europe was exaggerated for political purposes, Pakistani diplomat Shamsul Hasan said in October. “I will not deny the fact that there may be internal political dynamics, including the forthcoming midterm American elections. If the Americans have definite information about terrorists and al-Qaida people, we should be provided [with] that and we could go after them ourselves,” Hasan said.
No terror event occurred. “It was nothing specific, nothing very new,” said Swedish Justice Minister Beatrice Ask after the official warning. “We agree that there is no indication of concrete targets, concrete dates and concrete terror groups,” added German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere.
In addition to your cell phone, the government wants to take control of your internet broadband in the event another phony terror attack threatens the homeland.
Lisa Fowlkes, deputy chief of the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau of the FCC, told FederalNewsRadio on Monday that the FCC is looking at how wireless broadband could also enhance the EAS as part of a recommendation that was in the FCC’s National Broadband Plan from last year. The idea is to hijack broadband and the internet for emergency alerting propaganda with the “Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS) being developed by FEMA and the wireless industry,” according to Fowlkes.
The system would break into your computer or wireless device and broadcast presidential propaganda announcements, FEMA reports, so-called “Imminent Threat Alerts,” and AMBER Alerts.
Government has devised other creative ways to disseminate propaganda. For instance,California introduced a bill last year to commission a study on emerging electronic license plate technology and examine ways that it could introduce new ad revenue streams. In addition to ads, the technology would flash Amber Alerts and other information.
Earlier this month, DHS unveiled a new terror alert system that will hijack social networking sites as one way of informing people of terrorist threat updates. “The new, two-tiered system will provide alerts that are more specific to the threat and even recommend certain actions or suggest that people look for specific suspicious behavior, she said. They also may be limited to a particular audience — such as law enforcement — rather than broadcast to the general public, and also will have a specified end date,” reported Information Week Government.
In December, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced the expansion of the Department’s national “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign to hundreds of Walmart stores across the country — launching a new partnership between DHS and Walmart to help the American public play an active role in informing on each other. Thousands of Wamart stores will have telescreens pumping out government propaganda.
FEMA is also working on a new system that would send emergency alerts as text messages to wireless phone users. The system is still about two years away from full implementation, according to the agency.

When this site was started, there was enthusiasm. The plan, as indicated by our name, was to Restore the Republic.
Through the trials of what took place afterwards we held to the notion that there was power in the words, people would respond and take action if nothing more than to comment and post in the forum letting us know that there was hope.
Our readership began to pick-up, but we were hacked to the point that the site had to come down for some time, and be rebuilt. That didn’t deter our enthusiasm, and we held to our beliefs. The site was hacked again, and rebuilt. I kept writing, and the site was improved by the team.
If we are nothing else, we are people who subscribe to the idea that humans are thinking mammals capable of realizing when action was needed, and what that action should be. I have learned over the years that this may not be the case.
The general population doesn’t come to sites such as this for knowledge; they want to be entertained. The more outlandish the commentary the more likely they are to return day after day. That is what we received from the president in his latest state of the union; pure unadulterated gibberish, conflicting statements, and illogical proposed solutions.
The state of the union was meant to be a detailed assessment of the progress of the nation as given to the president by the congress. Congress makes the laws, and the executive carries those laws out; provided the acts adhere to the Constitution.
Instead what we now hear are long term plans on how the government will interfere in our lives, supposedly rebuild the economy, and inspire the citizenry to work on. As generally expected, the speech was pure non-sense that has nothing at all to do with the enumerated powers of the government.
We now have a head-of-state, who as far as I can tell never held a job outside of government or a non-profit organization. He has spent his entire adult life in direct opposition to the concepts of liberty, and justice, but there he sits in the oval office plotting our demise.
Now we find out that the governor of Hawaii who was going to lay the birth certificate issue to rest, can’t find any evidence of records that would show Obama to have been born in that state. But wait there is more to this story, and if you love a good novel with twists, turns, and lies you have to read on.
Mike Evans, the man who claimed that he had spoken to the governor about the birth certificate, now claims that he has not spoken to Governor Abercrombe since he took office. Well I’m confused to say the least, and if you clicked on the birth certificate link, read the story, and listened to the interview, you would surely be as lost as I am.
However, this goes right along with the rest of this presidency; non-sense, non-sense, and more non-sense, which is what we get each and every time Obama opens his mouth.
During the campaign for president he claimed we would have our troop’s home by 2009. He told us Guantanamo would be closed as a detention center for terrorists. He claimed to be for the poor, and middle class, but has done nothing but enhance the wealth of the very few at the top. The bankers are raping America. Need I go on?
Whatever your beliefs are, the man has lied to us, as most politicians surely do in order to hold that all important seat at the big-game. His lies have been blatant, akin to “WMD’s”, but he seems to remain the darling of the mainstream media. His lies have cost us thousands more lives of our young men according to the Veterans Administration. That’s right all you who cling to hope, the number of deaths are staggering, and of course lied about, and sworn to by the criminals in the media.
Recent numbers indicate that as much as 47% of the eligible working population should be considered unemployed. What you ask? That can’t be, I have a nice job, and I’m doing fine. That seems to be the sum total of our sphere of understanding; I’m ok, so it can’t be bad.
Let us not forget these facts. In November of 2009, Bloomberg News filed a FOIA request to find out what happened to the Two Trillion Dollars that the FED handed out to who knows who. Over this last summer it was discovered that the FED had given Trillions of Dollars to foreign banks, and institutions for which the American citizen is ultimately responsible.
While the FED was handing out Trillions our country was coming apart. The city of Detroit, which at one time had the highest per capita middle class in the nation, is a dying city where houses are being sold for a dollar, and the mayor wants to bulldoze about 20% of the area.
Granted we were leading up to this so we can’t blame it all on Barack Obama. However, he is the man that was elected for change, and all we got was more of the same old rhetoric, with political double-speak, and politicians pulling out the same old tired recipes for ruin.
So who is actually to blame for all of this? Go take a good look in the mirror folks because we are the culprits here. We’re in it up to our ears, and the road ahead is not pretty no matter how the talking heads paint a picture of green-shoots.
Our jobs continue to be outsourced. Under the present administration there has been no let up in issuing work visas while so many Americans collect unemployment, and food stamps.
The Chinese continue to flood our shelves with their products, thereby building wealth for themselves and debt for our countrymen. And with the wealth the Chinese are accumulating they are buying tangible assets while we continue to fight over the latest toy insanity for Christmas, overpriced tickets for some concert, and ...
