Molon Labe! the
Movie: An Oath Keepers Nation-Wide Call To Action
by Elias Alias,
Oath Keepers editor * February 25, 2013
-
We are going to talk about Molon Labe!
the movie, but first, allow me to just say that I am chuckling up my
sleeve in the wake of the Obama Administration's all-out assault on the
Constitution and its Second Amendment. Why? There are several reasons.
For one thing, Obama has done more for gun sales than anyone in
history. Also, he has with this one major goof, awakened millions of
Americans to the direness of our time in history. Additionally, he has
alerted the liberty movement on both sides of the aisle to the fact
that the General government now feels big enough to finally take full
control over the American people by asserting some vague, opaque, and
presumed authority to actually disarm a free people across the board,
Left and Right and all in between. Finally, Obama has made liars of the
ADL and the SPLC in a most costly way. Let me explain:
When Oath Keepers formed in 2009 we
were attacked by the media (Hardball and the O'Reilly Factor etc.) and
by private-sector think tanks such as the ADL (Anti-Defamation League)
and the SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center). We were described as
"anti-government" and "extremists" and
"conspiracy theorists".
All who
attacked us publicly with such slurs have since shut up about us,
silenced by the actions of their fearless leader, President Obama.
Obama is not only the most successful gun salesman in American history
- he also has trashed his cheerleaders dandily by doing exactly what
they chirped he never would do - such as come for our guns
.
Indulge me for one brief example
please. This is what the ADL published about Oath Keepers in 2009:
One manifestation of
the ideology of resistance was the creation in March 2009 of the Oath
Keepers, an anti-government group that tries to recruit police and
military personnel and veterans. Members refuse to obey hypothetical
"orders" from the government, "orders" that speak
more to their own paranoid and conspiratorial beliefs than to any
realistic government action. The "orders" the Oath Keepers
refuse reveal their extreme conspiratorial mindset, because the
"orders" are not instructions ever likely to be actually
handed down by Obama or his officials; instead, they are reflective of
the anti-government conspiracy theories embraced by the extreme right.
The first "order," for example, that they refuse to follow is
any order "to disarm the American people."
The ADL scoffed at the very first
of our "Ten Orders We Will Not Obey" -
Again: The ADL
said, "The
'orders' the Oath Keepers refuse [to obey]
reveal their extreme conspiratorial
mindset, because the 'orders' are not instructions ever likely to be
actually handed down by Obama or his officials..."
Well, that was then, and this is
now. Obama most certainly wants our guns, and one of his champions put
it this way -

ANTI-GUN is ANTI-GOV
So the
anti-gun lobby calls Oath Keepers "anti-gov", when in reality
Oath Keepers is supporting the very document which created the General
government by calling for the reinstatement in every State and County
of the Constitutional Militia. That is what
government is supposed to
be doing, as Dr. Edwin Vieira points out clearly. The Second Amendment
contains the only item which the Constitution says is
"Necessary" - "A well-regulated Militia, being
necessary
to the security of a free State....". Nothing else in the
Constitution is said to be "Necessary".
So the conflict is actually between
anti-gov /anti-gun forces and the patriots who are demanding that the
General government get back into its Constitutional box of enumerated
duties. In reality, the criminal-minded anti-gun movement is actually
the anti-gov movement, and Oath Keepers is not related to either. You
may ask how I can say that. It's simple, really.
Your right and duty to keep and bear
arms as an individual member of the Constitutional Militia is mentioned
in four places in that founding legal charter which created the
government, is it not? The Militia is mentioned three times in the main
body of the Constitution and once in the ten Amendments which were
enshrined in the Constitution prior to ratification - the Second
Amendment of the Bill of Rights. Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr., has laid this
out very nicely in his extraordinary book, "The Sword And
Sovereignty".
THE "M" WORD
Since the
Constitution created the General Government, anyone who would go
against the Constitution must be the real culprit who is "
anti-government". Oath Keepers supports the entire
Constitution as written, but the ADL is hell-bent on ignoring the
importance of the Constitution's denotative statements which require
that the States have and maintain their respective Militias. So in
fact, it is the ADL which is "anti-government" because of the
ADL's participation with the Gun-control Lobby, which supports Obama's
attack on the right and
duty of Americans to keep and bear arms.In fact, Dr.
Vieira's book is a scholarly history of the Militia of the several
States and is rendered with superb Constitutional contexts by the man I
think to be America's foremost authority on the original intent of the
Founders. Dr. Vieira's book is so powerful that it has inspired James
Jaeger of Matrix Entertainment to commission a new film based on the
book. And that new film is what I want to inspire everyone reading this
to support big time, right now.
James Jaeger has a collection of
remarkable documentary films produced in the highest of
standards. He has completed five already and his sixth is now
progressing nicely. Named "Molon Labe", this newest in his
Constitution series of documentaries is packed with experts which include
Stewart Rhodes
our Founder; Chuck
Baldwin our national Chaplain; and Sheriff Mack
member of our Board of Directors - three of our favorite Oath Keepers.
But also in the film is Ron Paul, G. Edward Griffin, Pat Buchanan, Alex
Jones, Jesse Ventura, Larry Pratt, Catherine Austin Fitts, and other
serious thinkers who are devoted to educating Americans about the
deeper meanings in our Constitution.
MOLON LABE! The MOVIE
Molon Labe: How The Second
Amendment Guarantees America's Freedom
is the
definitive movie about the Militia of the several States.This past week
James Jaeger and I enjoyed a long conversation. James is the quality
film maker who specializes in Constitutional documentaries. He has five
wonderful films in his Constitution Collection. All of those
movies are now available online for free downloading and viewing.

Ron Paul and
G. Edward Griffin and Edwin Vieira are regulars in each of James'
movies, and Pat Buchanan often joins in along with varied other
experts. James' sixth documentary film is all about the Militia of the several
States. Because Oath Keepers is the one organization which has the guts
to stand up for the
whole Second Amendment, James has
offered us a wonderful opportunity to help with the production of this
film Molon Labe!
As James has stated already -
For those of you who haven't seen
the new trailer - complete with donor and producer
credits as of 09 Feb 2013 - it's up at http://youtu.be/YBshf2BL5Zc
This trailer has a clip of Ron Paul, G. Edward Griffin,
Stewart Rhodes and Pastor Chuck Baldwin's interviews. We will
include a clip from Larry Pratt's interview as soon as it comes in
from our DC-VA camera unit.

MOLON LABE:
How the Second Amendment Guarantees America's Freedom
|
(EA note: That interview with Larry
Pratt of Gun Owners of America has been filmed already and will be in
studio first week of March, whereupon a clip of Mr. Pratt will be added
to our public trailer.)
Let us note something about the
NRA, while thinking of GOA. Last week I posted an article at Oath
Keepers national about a Massachusetts town which has just thrown out
the Obama-styled "assault weapons ban".
At the town hall meeting where this
was announced the packed house gave a standing and hearty ovation. In
response, the president of the NRA had this to say on the record -
[quoting]
The NRA's David Keene responded to the decision with the
organization's standard middle-of-the-road defense of the Second
Amendment and the Bill of Rights.
"One of the things that people
in these town meetings and other folks ought to look at is the
constitution itself. It is possible and it is legal to put certain
restrictions on second amendment rights," he said, "but those
kinds of restrictions have to be looked at very critically."
[close quote]
When I pointed that out to James
Jaeger and a few friends, one replied back to me:
Some suspect
that Mr. Keene may be expressing the conventional wisdom that no
constitutional rights are "absolute", but that all of them
are subject to some "regulation". On the general level,
this is probably less than accurate as a "right" implies
freedom of action, whereas a "regulation" implies some
curtailment of that freedom. So, if there is a "right", to
that extent there can be no "regulation"; and if there is
"regulation", to that extent there can be no
"right". It would be safe to wager that 95+% of
the legal profession holds a similar view as the NRA and probably
has never questioned it because this is what they were taught
in law "schools", and this is the method of
"analysis" used currently in the courts. Thus, I
imagine that Mr. Keene is less malicious than he is misinformed.
Unfortunately, this
may be the way most of the hierarchy in the NRA, and the
NRA's Second Amendment "defenders", also think.
There may be room for a more conservative interpretation of
the Second Amendment.
And
James Jaeger adds -
Like Larry Pratt, Wayne
LaPierre, the CEO of the NRA, has also been taking intense
abuse from the gun-control lobby. Can you IMAGINE how this
abuse would escalate were the NRA to acknowledge that
gun ownership serves basically FIVE purposes, not just
THREE?! The three everyone talks about are: 1)
target practice, 2) hunting, and 3) self-defense, but
the other two almost never mentioned are: 4) deterrent
against tyranny AND 5) participation in the "Militia of the
several States". Why are 4 and 5 almost never
mentioned even though the Founders mention the Militia in
four separate places in the U.S. Constitution? If
the Founders mention deterrent and Militia, but few others
mention them, is this not be a serious red flag?
MOLON LABE -
How the Second Amendment Guarantees America's Freedom
, now in production, will address
this red flag and discuss how an application of the Constitution
can remedy most of the problems WE THE PEOPLE currently have
with our government and our nation's security.
If you view this brief three minute trailer and look at the
opening credits you'll see that James wants Oath Keepers to play a
prominent role in the production of the film. That is important
for Oath Keepers, because this movie is going to be the hottest movie
in the patriot movement this year. It is important to Oath
Keepers that all of our members feel a sense of involvement, and
personal pride in the production and distribution of this movie.
Therefore I am calling on each
patriot reading this to voluntarily do two things now, and one other
thing later after the film goes public.
First, please donate to this movie:
For online donations:
The reason I am asking for donations is to hurry the
film along to completion. As more money comes in, the completion date
comes much sooner. Oath Keepers thinks that this film is very important
and because of our nation's precarious balance under the threat of
outright tyranny we would like to see this movie completed by early
summer. That is entirely possible if enough of us donate to the
project. Think of it as an Oath Keepers project, something each of us
can do in the comfort of our own homes, yet it is something with huge
power when all of us pitch in together.
For checks or
money orders or wire transfers:
Matrix
Entertainment Corp., 223 W. Lancaster Ave., Devon, PA 19333. To arrange for a
direct bank deposit or a confidential donation, please contact us by
the above address, email us at contact@mecfilms.com
or call us at (212) 933-9374. Thank you.
Secondly, please pass
this article around to your friends and email lists, and tell people
about the movie.James' FIAT EMPIRE went viral during Ron Paul's 2008
campaign as the Tea Party awakened to the ominous problems inherent
with the Federal Reserve System. More than five million Americans
downloaded that film. Because of today's political climate, laced
as it is with unbelievable tension and pre-revolutionary stress, Molon
Labe! will fare even better - with our help. As a total tool for
Oath Keepers' Reach, Teach, and Inspire program, nothing could be a
greater blessing.
Oath Keepers is presently launching
"Operation
Molon Labe! Counties". Molon Labe! the movie
is a positive asset for that project. The sooner it's out to the
public, the better for our Counties.
Oath Keepers is currently launching
our "Molon Labe! Pledge".
Again, Molon Labe! the movie authenticates that stance by Oath
Keepers.
Thirdly, after the film is released to the public this summer,
please hold screenings in your local area, your civic and public
groups, even home viewing parties, so that you're doing your part in
preparing your County to be a
Molon Labe! County. This movie will not only validate
Oath Keepers courageous stance in calling for the reinstatement of the
Constitutional Militia of the several States, it also will give a huge
boost to Sheriff Mack's Constitutional Sheriffs And Peace Officers
Association by adding another dimension to his traditional Posse.So
those are reasons why Oath Keepers is now asking for your support in
helping James Jaeger and Matrix Entertainment launch "Molon
Labe!", the movie. My Friends, it's time! I'm all in. Join me! Do
it for Oath Keepers! Do it for America the Beautiful!
Message From James Jaeger
A new website has been created for
MOLON LAB at http://www.molon.us
At this site you can read the script, listen to the narration, review
the budget, see what experts are in the show and watch additional
clips.
MOLON LABE will be our sixth film
on the U.S. Constitution. FIAT EMPIRE, featuring Ron Paul, was
the first and this went viral, won a Telly Award and hit #1 on the
Internet three times. You can watch FIAT EMPIRE, and the other
four films, as a free public service at http://www.YouTube.com/OriginalIntentDoc
More than 15,000 people watch these movies every day, so word IS
getting out.
But we need your help to complete
MOLON LABE quickly. Time is of the essence. If the
gun-control lobby gets a "law" passed to require universal
background checks, it's only a short step to universal registration and
universal confiscation. Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin and extreme
statists in today's gun-control lobby know the drill well. So
PLEASE disseminate this email. Put all or part of it up on your
website and donate what you can by going to http://www.molon.us/donate
Multiple donations can be accumulated to earn screencredits farther up
the producer chain.
Thank you for all you have done and
your attention to this important project,
JAMES JAEGER
Producer/Director

Final note from Ol' Elias
- Please make sure that you let James know that your
donation came from Oath Keepers - it will help him keep tabs on how
well our organization helped produce this movie. Also, if you cannot
donate, please at least send a postcard to James at the address above
to let him know you'll be spreading the word for the movie. And please
do pass this article around to everyone. This is a work which we all
can do and will have positive effects. Even better, we can all learn
about our history and the fine points of the Constitution while we're
at it.
Time's up. This is the time. Dr. Vieira has given us a plan which will
work as we take back our country at the County and State level. It's
non-violent in the tradition of Martin Luther King and Gandhi, it's
Constitutional, and this one can actually work!
Seize this
vision. Catch the Spirit of 1776!
Do it now!
Thank You, Oath Keepers!
Hoooahh!
Salute!
