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 ...

It has been some time since I decided to write an article. There are reasons for that, but suffice it to say that my enthusiasm for restoring the republic to its original design, or should I say hope of those who sacrificed to create this great experiment is waning.
In order to fight a successful battle you must first recognize your goal. In the case of our very own revolution it was to separate from Great Britain, create a nation free from persecution, and allow the common man his right to freedom, and prosperity.
Those ideas began to erode almost immediately as ‘special interests’ lied, schemed, and conjured methods of destroying the Republic. Most notably was, and still to this day is the legal profession that encompasses the entire justice system including the private sector. Thousands of lawyers that swear an oath to disavow the Constitution, and lay homage to the black robe administrators who see themselves as gods have destroyed our common law.
What has the legal profession done? First and foremost it has created a complete misunderstanding of the rule of law in this country. We, you and I, are sovereign citizens. A sovereign is not subject to the law as it is the creator of the law. It sounds simple, but what does it mean?
The state, which can only operate by the actions of the people, is an abstract creation without rights, and without powers other than what we the people enumerate. The state cannot make rules, and regulations that impose a liability upon the citizen to which the citizen has no obligation. “There is no position which depends on clearer principles, than that every act of a delegated authority, contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. No legislative act, therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid. To deny this, would be to affirm, that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid.” – Federalist 78, Alexander Hamilton
Hamilton, along with John Jay, and James Madison go on to explain the purpose of a government designed with enumerated powers, and separations in order to prevent the destruction of original intent. This seems so obvious to me, but has been lost on the American public.
The Constitution, as the fundamental doctrine of law, is a limitation placed upon the government. The construction of the Bill of Rights reinforces this as it begins by stating “Congress shall make no law…,” and ends by declaring “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
It does not say that from time to time the judiciary may interpret the Constitution to mean something other than what it says, nor does it say that the States, which created the union, may run off in directions that infringe upon the inalienable rights of its own citizens, or that of another state. It logically follows that since the states created the union with a limited form of government that they would adhere to the principles for themselves and protect the citizen from any and all abuses. Our government was formed by men, and is beholding to man for the limited and temporary powers we might at some time recall.
In order to fight the battle, and it is most certainly a struggle, to maintain a free state we must be aware at all times that those who seek the office of government more than likely do so because they seek power. If it were otherwise, there would not be legislators who spend their entire lives plotting their next re-election campaign rather than standing their ground and voting against those acts to which the government has no authority to impose upon the constituent.
I received an e-mail not to long ago, from the Second Amendment Foundation, asking for donations to fight against ACORN's interference in Jersey City, New Jersey on the issue of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
ACORN, as you may know, is a virulent enterprise that works diligently to move this nation to the ultimate end of a totalitarian state. Let’s not debate the issue here, because if we must then we are certainly well on our way to ACORN’s, and many other similar organizations goal.
It is clear as the nose on your face, as the saying goes, for some, but the majority is blinded with so much rhetoric from the major media that they barely have time to watch their reality TV shows, let alone read and learn about the factual nature of gun control.
We are in a true fight for liberty. Some may take to the pen, but it becomes more certain by the day that while the government takes to the sword, we will sit on our couches waiting for the knock on the door by some government agents who will bring us to a FEMA internment camp.
At one time I contributed thousands to the effort to fight gun control. I gave to the NRA every time they asked, and I was a plank-holder of the American Eagles. Now I give nothing. I give nothing because when you are fighting the battle 100 miles from the battlefield there is no point in expending ammunition.
I will continue to take the stance of penning my fight, and ignoring the calls for contributions until the pro-gun community learns to fight the fight according to the rule of law. That law starts in the Constitution at Article 1, Section 8, Clause 15&16, and culminates in the Second Amendment.
The Second Amendment has a specific meaning in conjunction with maintaining a free state, which it proudly announces, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep ...

As Benjamin Franklin was leaving the building where, after four months of hard work, the Constitution had been completed and signed, a lady asked him what kind of government did the convention create. A very old, very tired, and very wise Benjamin Franklin replied; "A Republic, ma'am if you can keep it."
