On HOA's, POA's, COA's, PUD's, MUD's..

"First homeowners are obligated to pay property taxes to their local government.  Then the same municipality mandates associations for all newly constructing dwelling units, forcing the owners to pay assessments in addition to property taxes for the services those taxes were initially intended to pay for.  But along the way, these same associations have been granted incredible powers and many have abused those powers.  The ensuing horror stories have convinced some legislators there is a dire need for some adult supervision in residential America.  But, unlike other laws enacted by our legislators, the homeowners will be taxed yet  AGAIN for that oversight."

WHAT IS BABYLON SOFTWARE? (LINK)

Wilcock, Fulford, and the Cabal Dialecti

Here is another one for today: http://blog.redefininggod.com/2013/08/23/wilcock-fulford-and-the-cabal-dialectic.aspx And while I know you believe in the dinar gurus and the "insiders" who are feeding people intel, you might consider offering the other side of the argument as a "discernment required" counterbalance. If they are really up to no good like I suspect, it wouldn't be a good feeling for someone to know they unwittingly helped lead people to their ruin.

Have a great weekend!

What is Obama hiding?

Sent: Friday, August 23, 2013 3:32 PM
Subject: Weekly Update: What is Obama hiding?

 

"The Obama administration says the American people have no right to this information..." 
Judicial Watch Weekly Update - From the Desk of President Tom Fitton
Judicial Watch Asks Supreme Court to Review JW Lawsuit Over bin Laden Death Images

As I said in this space when we began the battle to obtain photos and videos of the raid that led to bin Laden's capture and killing, we would not stop until we exhausted every single legal remedy available to us.  Last stop:  the United States Supreme Court.

This week we filed a
certiorari petition with the Supreme Court of the United States to review a 2013 appellate ruling preventing the American people from accessing these images. We are trying to force the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to release more than 50 photographs and video recordings of Osama bin Laden taken during and after the U.S. raid upon the terrorist leader's compound in Pakistan on May 1, 2011.

But before we get to Judicial Watch's High Court petition and arguments, I want to address the question of "why" these records are so vital and why it is so important that JW emerge victorious in this effort.

If the lower court ruling is allowed to stand, terrorists would be allowed to dictate our laws. After all, it was Barack Obama himself who gave the justification for keeping this information secret, claiming it would be unwise to "spike the football" over bin Laden's killing as it might be offensive to al Qaeda and its allies.


But there is no provision of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) that allows documents to be kept secret because their release might offend our terrorist enemies. And we certainly do not want to start that precedent! Therefore, at stake in our battle to obtain these images is the fundamental right of the American people to access government information. 

I'll say it again here - as we've said in court:  We're not after any information that has any relevance to national security. We just want to complete the public record on one of the most significant victories in United States military history.

But the Obama administration says the American people have no right to this information. And thus far the courts have acquiesced, which raises significant separation of powers issues addressed by JW in its cert. petition.

This case, we argue "is the poster child of the almost blind deference being provided to the Executive Branch" by the courts in recent years in cases involving the withholding of materials labeled as classified. The petition asks the Supreme Court to mandate the lower courts to "conduct meaningful review" of Executive Branch decisions to withhold classified materials or the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) will "continue as less of a disclosure than a
withholding statute."

Now, with a Supreme Court cert. petition, the petitioning party must always indicate the "Question Presented" to the Court. Here's ours:
Whether 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(1), [known as 'Exemption 1'] which allows the Executive Branch to withhold information "specifically authorized under criteria established by an Executive order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign policy and [is] in fact properly classified pursuant to Executive order," limits courts to provide almost blind deference to the Executive Branch's classification determinations or whether it mandates that courts conduct meaningful review of those determinations.

And here are our "Reasons for Granting the Petition," which centers on five key points:
I. The FOIA Is a Disclosure Statute - As this Court has recently reiterated, the FOIA was enacted to overhaul an earlier public records provision that had become more of "a withholding statute than a disclosure statute." Milner, 131 S. Ct. at 1262 (quoting Mink, 410 U.S. at 79). For the FOIA to escape this same fate, the nine exemptions contained therein must be interpreted narrowly.

II. Exemption 1 Indisputably Requires All Withheld Material to Be Classified in Accordance with the Procedural Criteria As Well As Its Substantive Terms - Congress carefully crafted Exemption 1 to allow only the withholding of material that is "specifically authorized under criteria established by an Executive order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign policy and [is] in fact properly classified pursuant to Executive order " ... The DC Circuit failed to follow this well-established, indisputable standard.

III. The D.C. Circuit Blindly Approved the CIA's Withholding of the Requested Images Even Though the Records Were Not Properly Classified - [T]he two courts collectively concluded that the CIA provided no evidence to demonstrate that the images were properly classified.

IV. The D.C. Circuit Blindly Approved the CIA's Claim That the Release of the Images Reasonably Could Be Expected to Cause Exceptionally Grave Damage to National Security - [T]he court seems to suggest that the result of such violence and attacks [possibly triggered by the release of the photos and videos] is equivalent to exceptionally grave damage to national security. Prior to this ruling, no court had ever held that speculative, unspecific violence harms the national defense of the United States.

V. The Courts' Almost Blind Deference Eviscerates the FOIA as a Disclosure Statute - By providing almost blind deference to the Executive Branch, it is foreseeable that the Executive Branch will abuse its seemingly unreviewable authority.

One thing that strikes me as I review our attorneys' legal arguments is that this FOIA case is yet another facet of the president's illicit assertion of executive power.  In this case, President Obama personally orchestrated the withholding of documents simply because he didn't want to be seen as "spiking the football."  Time and time again, this president thinks that his personal whims have the force of law.  We hope the Supreme Court schools him otherwise. 

This case also demonstrates why we have to be persistent in fighting Obama secrecy - because it is always a long ball game.  On May 4, 2011, Judicial Watch
filed a FOIA request with the DOD seeking "all photographs and/or video recordings of Osama (Usama) bin Laden taken during and/or after the U.S. military operation in Pakistan on or about May 1, 2011." An identical request had been filed on May 3, 2011, with the CIA. When neither the DOD nor the CIA complied with the FOIA requests within the 20 business days as required by law, Judicial Watch, in June 2011, filed its FOIA lawsuits against both agencies.

On April 26, 2012, U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg ruled that the images could remain secret while conceding: "Indeed, it makes sense that the more significant an event is to our nation - and the end of bin Laden's reign of terror certainly ranks high - the more need the public has for full disclosure." On May 21, 2013, the
United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia affirmed the District Court decision while conceding that the documents may not have been properly classified.

Folks, this is a landmark case that is about much more than 50 photographs and videos. It could determine whether President Obama, with the blind deference of the judicial branch, can unilaterally rewrite the Freedom of Information Act at the expense of the American people's right to know what its government is up to. The idea that our government would put the sensibilities of terrorists above the rule of law ought to concern every American. It certainly concerns JW, which depends upon FOIA to investigate and root out government corruption.

Judicial Watch Sues DOJ for LGBT Bar Association's 2012 Lavender Law Conference & Career Fair Documents

Two weeks ago, I told you about some
very interesting information Judicial Watch uncovered regarding Attorney General Eric Holder's travels, which cost the American people over $4 million, including $600,000-plus for personal junkets.

While the personal trips appear to be a colossal waste of taxpayer dollars, it is the "business" trips which have especially caught JW's attention. The records we uncovered documented "business trips" by Holder to Al Sharpton's National Action Network as well as conferences hosted by La Raza ("The Race") and the NAACP. As I pointed out in this space previously, many of these trips took place during presidential election season, once again blurring the lines between the Obama administration and the Obama campaign.

And this brings me to yet another highly questionable trip by Holder - this time to serve as a keynote speaker at the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) "Lavender Law Conference & Career Fair" held on August 23, 2012.

After hitting another Obama stonewall, JW is now in court seeking access to records detailing this trip, filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against the Obama Department of Justice (DOJ).

And why did this speech in particular pique the interest of our investigations team? Because it is yet another shocking example of this Justice Department's willingness to do the bidding of radical leftist special interest groups.

In his keynote address at the LGBT Lavender Law Conference Holder congratulated "the tireless work of advocates and attorneys in and far beyond this room" who advanced the LGBT agenda, and called for the passion of its members to continue the "momentum." Holder also reminded the audience that the Obama DOJ was refusing to defend the Defense of Marriage Act, though at the time, it was still prevailing law of the land.

This was the second high profile speech where Holder pandered to homosexual activists in a very short period of time. One month previous to his LGBT Lavender Conference appearance,
Holder led a group of DOJ employees in honoring Anoka-Hennepin School District of Minnesota students involved in a lawsuit to force the district to endorse homosexual conduct.

Five of the students received an award at DOJ's annual LGBT Pride Month program in the Great Hall of the Main Justice Building. We want records detailing this event, as well. In March 2013, Judicial Watch filed a
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Obama DOJ and Education (DOE) on behalf of the Family Research Council (FRC) for records regarding their involvement in the Anoka-Hennepin suit.

The response to requests for records regarding the Lavender Conference has been typically Obamaesque.

By a letter dated September 26, 2012, the DOJ's Office of Information Policy (OIP) acknowledged that it had received the Judicial Watch FOIA request. The agency responded by saying that the request fell within the "unusual circumstances" of the Act, but failed to provide "a date on which determination is expected to be dispatched," as required by law.

After OIP failed to provide any further communications, Judicial Watch, on March 18, 2013, contacted OIP asking that the records be provided without further delay.

On March 19, 2013, Judicial Watch received a letter from OIP saying that the search of the Office of the Attorney General had been completed and that OIP was now reviewing the records that had been located. The letter also stated that because the records contained information of interest to other DOJ offices, OIP could respond only after consulting those offices. No information was provided as to the status of searches for records with other offices.

On March 22, 2013, Judicial Watch filed an administrative appeal seeking compliance with the original FOIA request. OIP acknowledged receiving the appeal on the same day and was required to make a determination on the appeal within 20 working days. To date, OIP has failed to provide any further information concerning the FOIA request or the subsequent appeal. All of this bureaucratic double-speak and delay further proves the Big Lie that the Obama administration is the most transparent in history.

Per usual, this runaround is all about one thing - concealing the truth. The Obama administration has some more secrets they don't want you to know.

Holder's DOJ is increasingly home to a bevy of leftist activists pursuing narrow ideological agendas at the expense of the public interest. And DOJ officials want to keep this all a secret, which is why we had to file a FOIA lawsuit to get basic information about the Attorney General's collusion with homosexual activists/government employees.

Kerry Reinstates Officials on Leave over Benghazigate - to Protect Clinton?

Here are the Benghazi numbers: Four Americans dead, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Zero honest answers from the administration. And zero accountability. And now, even the tepid actions taken last December to place a few State Department officials on administrative leave over Benghazi, has been completely undone by Secretary of State John Kerry.

As reported by
Fox News:
The four State Department officials put on administrative leave following the Sept. 11 terrorist attack in Benghazi have been allowed back on the job after being cleared by Secretary of State John Kerry to return, in a move one lawmaker decried as a "game of musical chairs."...

Last December, the officials were removed from their posts after an independent panel criticized the security and "lack of proactive leadership" at the U.S. diplomatic compound. The stinging State report also called out officials in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs and said they "showed a lack of ownership of Benghazi's security issues."

Kerry reportedly made the move after a "thorough" internal investigation. And here is the "official" State Department's justification for the reinstatement of the employees, per an unnamed agency official:
"In order to implement the (Benghazi report) and to continue to turn the page and shift the paradigm inside the Department, the four employees who were put on administrative leave last December pending further review will be reassigned inside the State Department..."

Frankly, this all sounds like a variation of the Hillary scream, "
What difference does it make!"

Shift the paradigm? Why kind of paradigm shift in the reformation of the State Department following Benghazi is going to take place as a result of reinstating these officials?  

If the Obama administration had wanted a "paradigm shift" after Benghazi, they would have told the truth from the beginning instead of instructing (allowing?) UN Ambassador Rice and Hillary Clinton to spew lies. They would have turned over all records to congressional investigators. And they would not have intimidated and/or kept hidden potential witnesses. Then they would have gone about the business of making sure it did not happen again.

The Obama administration obviously went another direction.

Fox News further reported that the State Department's internal inquiry indicated that none of these officials "breached their duty," while also noting that none of them would be returning to their previous positions.

So here's the key question: If these officials did not "breach their duty" then who did? Four Americans are dead following a terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya. Surely the Obama administration cannot contend that everyone within the State Department (and other involved agencies) performed their duties with professionalism and competence and are blameless.

Yes they can! - So says conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer in an interview with
Fox News - and for political gain.
"This is the definition of how to conduct a stonewall," Krauthammer, a syndicated columnist and Fox News contributor, said of Secretary of State John Kerry's decision to put the officials back to work.

"The new Secretary of State looks at this and says, essentially, these people were not responsible, or they don't really carry any accountability - they are back on the job, as you say, without ever missing a paycheck, and no one is held responsible." 

Krauthammer added, "whatever the intent was, it surely is a Clinton protection operation, in effect."

In summary: Placing the officials on leave - a publicity stunt.  Bringing them back - a political play. All of it intended to protect the Democratic nominee-in-waiting, Hillary Clinton. (Perhaps THIS is the "paradigm" shift the State Department truly seeks.)

Here's my take. Maybe these four officials had nothing to do with the massive screw-up inside the Obama administration that resulted in the deaths of four Americans. Maybe they had nothing to do with the lying that took place immediately thereafter. And maybe they should never have been put on administrative leave in the first place.

But someone inside the Obama administration is surely responsible for Benghazi. And we intend to get to the bottom of it. (
See here for information on our Benghazi investigative and legal activities, which is one of our most significant projects at this time.)

This has been one of the most significant scandals and cover-ups in modern United States history. And the political gamesmanship, obfuscation and outright lying by the Obama administration is shameless - and it must be stopped.

We're coming up on the one year anniversary of the attack.  And the only American citizen who has been held to "account" was the poor sap who made the
Internet video that was falsely portrayed as inciting the Benghazi attack.  (The Obama administration put him in jail for supposedly violating the terms of parole for other crimes.)

And it is not just the Obama gang that is complicit in this cover-up.  Most of the congressional Republican leadership is actively opposing efforts to ramp up investigations into the Benghazi scandal.

I suggest you do a few things over few weeks (besides directly
supporting our work!).  Write letters to the editor of your local newspaper demanding accountability.  Get the word out also on social media.  Contact your members of Congress to express your views on Benghazi.  We can't rely on the politicians for leadership.  Working together, we can provide the leadership and vindicate those fine Americans slain on September 11, 2012.

Until next week...

Tom Fitton

Has Washington, D.C., Become A Criminal Entity? By Chuck Baldwin

Has Washington, D.C., Become A Criminal Entity? By Chuck Baldwin
Posted By: RumorMail [Send E-Mail]
Date: Friday, 23-Aug-2013 10:44:53

I recently read a column by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts that was so good I wish I had written it. First, a little bit about Roberts. This is from his official web site: “Dr. Roberts has held academic appointments at Virginia Tech, Tulane University, University of New Mexico, Stanford University where he was Senior Research Fellow in the Hoover Institution, George Mason University where he had a joint appointment as professor of economics and professor of business administration, and Georgetown University where he held the William E. Simon Chair in Political Economy in the Center for Strategic and International Studies.”
His bio continues: “Dr. Roberts was associate editor and columnist for The Wall Street Journal and columnist for Business Week and the Scripps Howard News Service. He was a nationally syndicated columnist for Creators Syndicate in Los Angeles. In 1992 he received the Warren Brookes Award for Excellence in Journalism. In 1993 the Forbes Media Guide ranked him as one of the top seven journalists in the United States.”
And one more paragraph about Paul Craig Roberts: “President Reagan appointed Dr. Roberts Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy and he was confirmed in office by the U.S. Senate. From 1975 to 1978, Dr. Roberts served on the congressional staff where he drafted the Kemp-Roth bill and played a leading role in developing bipartisan support for a supply-side economic policy. After leaving the Treasury, he served as a consultant to the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Commerce.”
See Paul’s web site at:
Paul Craig Roberts
I realize that anyone who dares to contradict accepted politically correct dogma is demonized as being “radical,” “extremist,” or racist,” and some people have tried to characterize Dr. Roberts in that vein. But it should be obvious to any honest and objective person that Paul Craig Roberts has one of the most distinguished resumes of anyone in America today.
Paul recently wrote a column entitled, “Humanity Is Drowning In Washington’s Criminality.” I realize it is difficult for most Americans to conceive the idea that their federal government could actually be criminal, but the case Roberts makes in his column cannot be tossed aside as the ranting of some right-wing nut (as if there are no left-wing nuts).
Roberts writes, “Americans will soon be locked into an unaccountable police state unless US Representatives and Senators find the courage to ask questions and to sanction the executive branch officials who break the law, violate the Constitution, withhold information from Congress, and give false information about their crimes against law, the Constitution, the American people and those in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Guantanamo, and elsewhere. Congress needs to use the impeachment power that the Constitution provides and cease being subservient to the lawless executive branch. The US faces no threat that justifies the lawlessness and abuse of police powers that characterize the executive branch in the 21st century.
“Impeachment is the most important power of Congress. Impeachment is what protects the citizens, the Constitution, and the other branches of government from abuse by the executive branch. If the power to remove abusive executive branch officials is not used, the power ceases to exist. An unused power is like a dead letter law. Its authority disappears. By acquiescing to executive branch lawlessness, Congress has allowed the executive branch to place itself above law and to escape accountability for its violations of law and the Constitution.
“National Intelligence Director James R. Clapper blatantly lied to Congress and remains in office. Keith B. Alexander, Director of the National Security Agency, has also misled Congress, and he remains in office. Attorney General Holder avoids telling Congress the truth on just about every subject, and he also remains in office. The same can be said for President Obama, one of the great deceivers of our time, who is so adverse to truth that truth seldom finds its way out of his mouth.
“If an American citizen lies to a federal investigator, even if not under oath, the citizen can be arrested, prosecuted, and sent to prison. Yet, these same federal personnel can lie to Congress and to citizens with impunity. Whatever the American political system is, it has nothing whatsoever to do with accountable government. In Amerika [Roberts’ spelling] no one is accountable but citizens, who are accountable not only to law but also to unaccountable charges for which no evidence is required.”
Roberts is one hundred percent right. While everyone seems to be caught up in debating all kinds of remedies to Washington’s ills, hardly anyone seems to notice that the power to put a stop to all of this unconstitutional (not to mention criminal) conduct on behalf of the executive branch of the federal government rests squarely in the laps of the 535 men and women who comprise the US House of Representatives and US Senate. Granted, impeachment has been seldom used by the legislative branches in Washington, but what was that again about desperate times calling for desperate measures? Besides, impeachment is not a desperate measure; it is a constitutionally-required measure. When the executive branch of the federal government is run amuck in foul play, it is the duty of Congress to protect both the American citizenry and the US Constitution.
Roberts rightly asks, “The question demanding to be asked is: What is the purpose of the domestic surveillance of all Americans? This is surveillance out of all proportion to the alleged terrorist threat. The US Constitution is being ignored and domestic law violated. Why? Does the US government have an undeclared agenda for which the ‘terrorist threat’ is a cover?
“What is this agenda? Whose agenda is more important than the US Constitution and the accountability of government to law? No citizen is secure unless government is accountable to the Constitution and to law. It is an absurd idea that any American is more threatened by terrorism than by unaccountable government that can execute them, torture them, and throw them in prison for life without due process or any accountability whatsoever. Under Bush/Obama, the US has returned to the unaccountable power of caesars, czars, and autocrats.”
Roberts is exactly right. The modern-day burgeoning police state, under the rubric of “national security,” is the biggest threat to our liberties since the British marched on Lexington and Concord in 1775. And, unfortunately, when it comes to the destruction of civil liberties, Republicans are as culpable as Democrats.
Roberts writes, “American conservatives regard civil liberties as mere excuses for liberal judges to coddle criminals and terrorists. Never expect a conservative Republican, or more than two or three of them, to defend your civil liberty. Republicans simply do not believe in civil liberty. Democrats cannot conceive that Obama--the first black president in office, a member of an oppressed minority--would not defend civil liberty. This combination of disinterest and denial is why the US has become a police state.
“Civil liberty has few friends in government, the political parties, law schools, bar associations, or the federal judiciary. Consequently, no citizen is secure. Recently, a housewife researched online for pressure cookers looking for the best deal. Her husband was searching for a backpack. The result was that a fully armed SWAT team appeared at the door demanding to search the premises and to have questions answered.”
When it comes to creating the modern-day police state, the left-right paradigm that most people are consumed with means absolutely nothing. NOTHING! As Roberts notes, for the most part, both Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, Christians and heathens seem to see nothing wrong with the dismantlement of the Bill of Rights if the stated reason is to keep us “secure.”
Beyond that, so many Americans seem to have the attitude, “I don’t care if the government is spying on me; I haven’t done anything wrong.” To this, Roberts writes, “I am always amazed when someone says: ‘I haven’t done anything wrong. I have nothing to fear.’ If you have nothing to fear from the government, why did the Founding Fathers put the protections in the Constitution that Bush and Obama have stripped out? Unlike the Founding Fathers who designed our government to protect the citizens, the American sheeple [Roberts’ word] trust the government to their own demise.”
And exactly who are the real terrorists, anyway? Roberts answers:
“Terrorism seldom comes from outside. The source almost always is the government in power. The Czarist secret police set off bombs in order to blame and arrest labor agitators. The Nazis burned down the Reichstag in order to decimate the communists and assume unaccountable power in the name of ‘public safety.’ An alleged terrorist threat is a way of using fear to block popular objection to the exercise of arbitrary government power.
“In order to be ‘safe from terrorists,’ the US population, with few objections, has accepted the demise of their civil liberties, such as habeas corpus, which reaches back centuries to Magna Carta as a constraint on government power. How, then, are they safe from their government? Americans today are in the same position as the English prior to the Great Charter of 1215. Americans are no longer protected by law and the Constitution from government tyranny.
“The reason the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution was to make citizens safe from their government. If citizens allow the government to take away the Constitution, they might be safe from foreign terrorists, but they are no longer safe from their government.
“Who do you think has more power over you, foreign terrorists or ‘your’ government?”
Roberts continues:
“The constitutional principle of freedom of speech is being redefined as treason, as aiding an undefined enemy, and as seeking to overthrow the government by casting aspersions on its motives and revealing its secret misdeeds. The power-mad inhabitants of Washington have brought the US so close to Gestapo Germany and Stalinist Russia that it is no longer funny. Indeed, it is sometimes difficult to see the difference.
“The neoconservatives have declared that Americans are the ‘exceptional’ and ‘indispensable people.’ Yet, the civil liberties of Americans have declined the more ‘exceptional’ and ‘indispensable’ that Americans become. We are now so exceptional and indispensable that we no longer have any rights.
“And neither does the rest of the world. Neoconservatism has created a new dangerous American nationalism. Neoconservatives have given Washington a monopoly on right and endowed its military aggressions with a morality that supersedes the Geneva Conventions and human rights. Washington, justified by its ‘exceptionalism,’ has the right to attack populations in countries with which Washington is not at war, such as Pakistan and Yemen. Washington is using the cover of its ‘exceptionalism’ to murder people in many countries.”
Roberts also rightly observes, “Washington is always morally right, whatever it does, and those who report its crimes are traitors who, stripped of their coddling by civil liberties, are locked away and abused until they confess to their crimes against the state. Anyone who tells the truth, such as Bradley Manning, Julian Assange, and Edward Snowden, are branded enemies of the state and are ruthlessly persecuted.”
See Paul Craig Roberts’ column at:
Humanity Is Drowning In Washington’s Criminality
Sadly, everything Dr. Roberts stated above is absolutely true.
Many previous administrations most certainly pushed the envelope of federal usurpation of power from time to time, but the administrations of G.W. Bush and Barack Obama have (and are) literally taken America to the very precipice of a police state. With the advent of the Patriot Act, the Department of Homeland Security, the Military Commissions Act, the NDAA, USNORTHCOM, etc., all of the laws and military apparatus which would be necessary to enact a police state within the continental United States are in place.
Plus, grassroots Americans throughout the country are abuzz with both rumors and truthful eyewitness testimony to the strange movement of military supplies and personnel and the construction of large, unmarked and undeclared facilities. All over America, large containment-looking facilities are being built. Most of these structures are large, fenced (with the fences designed to keep people IN not OUT), in rural areas, near train tracks, and are completely unmarked and inaccessible.
Granted, for every substantiated fact there seems to be a dozen meritless rumors out there. I will absolutely give you that. But, there are simply too many reports by extremely credible eyewitnesses (including military and police personnel) to simply ignore as mere conspiracy theories. Concerned federal agents (yes, MANY federal agents love freedom and the Constitution just as much as we do) continue to leak information regarding unusual training, equipment purchases, procedural instructions, etc., to their fellow citizens.
Could some of this strange and unconfirmed information be government propaganda and disinformation designed to embarrass and marginalize patriot-minded citizens? Absolutely. But the old adage is still true, “Where there is smoke, there is fire.” And right now, this is a HUGE amount of smoke.
Paul Craig Roberts has spent a lifetime in the upper echelons of economics, journalism, and politics. His assertion that Washington, D.C., is awash in “criminality” cannot be taken lightly.

Supreme Court Justice Scalia Goes Gun Crazy....

Supreme Court Justice Scalia Goes Gun Crazy....
Posted By: Watchman
Date: Thursday, 22-Aug-2013 23:18:15
No, that’s not my preferred title, but the one used by Adam Winkler:
America has more than its fair share of extremists who believe people need to stock up on guns to fight against tyrannical government in Washington.Add one more to the list: Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. In a speech in Montana on Monday, the jurist was asked about the Second Amendment and what arms were protected by that provision of the Constitution. That “remains to be determined,” he replied. As one example, he asked if people have a right to “bear shoulder-fired rocket launchers?” Perhaps they do, Scalia suggested. The answer would turn on the historical understanding of the Framers, who Scalia said included the Second Amendment in part to preserve the right of people to revolt against a tyrannical leader.
Adam continues, “The idea that the Second Amendment gives people the right to revolt against government is broadly shared among gun rights extremists” (Adam is referring to people like me – Adam would have been a loyalist during the revolutionary war, I would have charged up King’s Mountain against the loyalist troops) … “The insurrectionist understanding of the Second Amendment fails to account for two other features of the Constitution. First, the Second Amendment itself includes a preamble referring to the necessity of a “well regulated militia.”
Here Adam continues with the well-worn and tired claptrap about well-regulated meaning controlled by the state. Bob Owens has the must-read defeater argument on this, but since Adam won’t care about this I won’t spend time recapitulating what Bob says. Adam can continue to wring his hands and worry over things, and we can move on to one salient observation about Scalia.
I have long lamented what I perceive to be the weakness of Heller versus D.C. But perhaps Scalia really does understand that the Second Amendment has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with hunting or self defense, and has everything to do with ameliorating tyranny. And perhaps Scalia knows that the Supreme Court had to bite this off in chunks. If so, this is a welcome evolution in Scalia’s thinking – at least as it pertains to what he feels free to say out loud.
And oh, by the way, the Hughes amendment was an unconstitutional obscenity.
UPDATE: Kurt Hofmann writes me, observing that: ” … Mr. Constitutional Law Professor is already lost, when he talks about any bill in the Bill of Rights giving rights. Besides, my position has always been that the Second Amendment does not protect “the right to revolt,” but protects the right to the means of effective revolt. When revolt becomes necessary, a Constitutionally protected “right to revolt” wouldn’t matter, even if there were one, because by then, the Constitution will no longer be relevant.” Good points.

Dear RM Agents and Readers,
Can't wait to read the article just came across it. Do you think this is why there is so much denial in regards to Morgellons? Funny how so many folks that would tell me Morgellons doesn't exist and then they see you bleed and back up really fast.
Not real as long as it is in someone else but they obviously don't want it.
Many Blessings,
