Sheriffs Across U.S. Rise Up Against Obama Regime

Sheriffs have risen up all over our great nation to stand up against the unconstitutional gun control measures being taken.

The following is a list of sheriffs and state sheriff's associations from who have vowed to uphold and defend the Constitution against Obama's unlawful gun control measures. I applaud these public servants for their courage and conviction.

I call on sheriffs all over this nation to add their voices to the growing numbers of faithful protectors of our freedom. - Richard Mack

Sheriffs and associations who have made public statements committing to protect their citizens' 2nd Amendment rights from Obama's gun control efforts will be added. Some of these sheriffs are members of the CSPOA, but inclusion in this list does not necessarily mean they are a member.

U.S. Sheriffs Rise Up Against Federal Government

U.S. Sheriffs Rise Up Against Federal Government: Sheriff Threatens Feds With SWAT Team ~ Grass Roots Take Charge!

As more people became dissatisfied with federal government controls and land grabs, it was inevitable that local law enforcement would eventually see the bigger picture.

At the northern California fairgrounds of Yreka last month, seven California sheriffs and another from Oregon gathered with a large group of citizens to say that they are finally going to do something about it.

Kane County Sheriff Lamont Smith, right, comforts Shawna Harris and her daughters Kirsten, 14, and Kristina, 10, on Wednesday. State legislators held a moment of silence Wednesday for three Utah Sheriff officers killed in the line of duty last year.

“A giant has been awakened,” said Plumas County, Calif. Sheriff Greg Hagwood, “and they didn’t count on that,” speaking of the federal bureaucracy.

With exposure of the Emergency Management Center in San Luis Obispo a few decades ago, California began to offer the rest of the nation some evidence of the psychological conditioning aimed from the federal level at state, county and city law enforcement.

Dean Wilson, sheriff of Del Norte County (Sacramento), is a great example of this great awakening.

He received the loudest and longest applause for his candor in confessing past faults after apologizing for not understanding the central government assault and land grab being committed against the people and what he should have been doing about it.

Only in the past year has he done a turnaround and begun to behave as a county sheriff instead of an extension of federal law enforcement.

“I had spent a good part of my life enforcing the penal code, but not understanding my oath of office,” he told the audience. “I was ignorant and naïve, but now I know of the assault against our people by the federal government.”

Host sheriff John Lopey of Siskiyou County, speaking about the federal environmental intervention, said: “I have told federal and state officials over and over that, yes, we want to preserve the environment, but you care more about the fish, frogs, trees and birds than you do about the  human race. When will you start to balance your decisions to the needs of the people?”

Later he told the audience, “We are right now in a fight for our survival.”

Glenn Palmer, sheriff of Grant County, Oregon, said, “If an elected official has not taken an oath of office, he does not belong in office.”

AFP readers are familiar with the work of former Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack, who has spent the latter half of his life teaching sheriffs that they are the top law enforcement officers in their counties despite continuing federal intervention attempts.

The ears that were deaf for so long may finally be starting to hear.

The Thin Blue Line against tyranny…..Leon County Sheriff’s SWAT team members are learning new techniques to combat threats against their State of Florida.

“It’s becoming a national movement now,” Mack told AFP, citing Immigration and Naturalization Service failure at the Mexican borders, the phony drug war, plus IRS and other unconstitutional intervention within these states.

His plans to take this movement national will be launched at a January meeting, where he anticipates 200 sheriffs will be in attendance.

“The county sheriff is the last line of defense guarding our people’s liberty,” he said.

Retired USAF Col. Richard Niemela of Reston, Va. has been exposing the federal monster for years.

He told AFP:  “It’s the surreptitious domination by international globalists insidiously using unauthorized and illegal tactics to render null and void those historic and unique powers of the sheriff.”

Whether it happens this weekend or seeds are planted for later this year, the reality of major changes coming to the international monetary framework can no longer be denied.

On Saturday, February 27, 2016 7:54 AM, Mark S.

Watch G20 Meeting = China: GCR Officially Announced
China has now officially announced that the historical bonds will be redeemed.  This has been released in all Chinese media. These announcements made in the Chinese open media today and late yesterday finally confirm publicly that this operation is moving forward.  There are also other sources who are optimistically informing that international agreements are nearly completed and official ceremonies are expected to take place over the next several days.

Release of spendable cash was anticipated several times in the past, but has been delayed due to final currency negotiations involving several countries.  At the moment, there is a slight delay due to the gold backing for the US TRN to be finalized, but this issue is expected to be resolved quickly, and it is anticipated that next week transactions will be put in place.

Several large Dinar transactions will be completed before the bond and box matters are scheduled and undertaken.  I have been told that just a bit more patience is required before all is put into motion. It must be remembered that this is a one-time historical event that has no precedence in protocols and procedures, even though many procedures have been prematurely presented.

The final official procedures are being put into place, now that all of the international matters and accounting between nations is coming to resolution, and I anticipate that I will be informed of how things will proceed by Monday.

Aspiring Flippers, Governments and Private alike are desperately trying to lure any Bringer of Historical Bonds into a submission commitment, and offering money that the Seller / Holder cannot spend or withdraw from his bank account - not one cent!  The reason is that these parties cannot be assured that the bonds they accumulate will be accepted by redemption and therefore most of these offers will include a disclaimer and the right to return the bonds to the current holder.

It should be clear that if a private buyer cannot redeem bonds or boxes, there is no reason to expend funds, as there is no private market for these bonds.   Unlike, a stock market situation, these issues are not publicly traded, and the only opportunity for gain is redemption by the original issuers.

Owners will begin receiving notification this coming week and, again, the details for this process will be finalized shortly, after which I will be able to inform representatives and sellers of what to expect and any last documentation which may be requested for the procedure to proceed smoothly and quickly.

There are many applicants who are registered, so obviously not everyone can be first – but the plans are to be organized to go forward as quickly as possible, keeping in mind that some large submissions will require time for authentication.

These final unforeseen delays are apparently coming to an end and resolution very soon.  What all have had to endure was unfortunately beyond anyone's control – but it must be kept in mind that the bonds, boxes and dinars are at the core of a complete revision of all the world currencies as well as the accounting and settling of previous currency and international banking matters and agreements.

It has been a very difficult issue to pinpoint exactly at what juncture all parties would be fully satisfied and in agreement with the future financial course of the world.   It should be understood that all of the official agreements and then all of the procedures and systems must be complete and effective before the massive operation of transactions on the bonds and boxes can begin.

As always I will continue to update you when I have solid information or news to report, and be assured that all efforts and care are continually being taken with all submissions and to assure the earliest possible closing date for those who receive this email


4 REPORTS

CALL FROM UST SOURCE:  "Confirmed that all 70+ Rothschild banks that did not respond to system 'ping' the night before did ping the 2nd time around 100% LAST NIGHT ... thus, they have finally complied!  We now understand how all this fits together with last Tues midnight deadline for Rothschild owned banks. It is very complicated but GCR/RV now moving forward with completion goal date of Sunday, Feb 28th!"


On Thu, Feb 25, 2016

From what I understand, the TRN's (Treasury Reserve Notes as opposed to Federal Reserve Notes) are on-line, but only available for bank-to-bank transfers and not for public consumption.

Iraq is scheduled to enter into the World Trade Organization on March 1, 2016 (next Tuesday.)   They cannot enter into the WTO without successfully reevaluating the Dinar. (RV). This is anticipated to occur on March 1, 2016.

I also understand that the fund release for the redemption of China's sovereign debt so that the Yuan (RMB's, also known as Renminbis) can be introduced into the IMF SDR (Special Drawing Rights) basket in November, 2016 (which has already been approved by the IMF) should occur March 2, 2016.

The sovereign debt resolution has been resolved by a G-20 accord which allows China to redeem 25% of their outstanding gold-backed bonds and destroy them. The remaining 75% will be forever wiped off the books and those bonds will be forever worthless, other than as curios.

The IMF has allocated a certain amount of funds to help facilitate this effort.

The bearers of the redeemed bonds will be expected to invest most, if not all, of their proceeds into humanitarian and economic development projects as this is seen as a "new awakening of human brotherhood and kindness" and possibly  a Jubilee for many.

This expectation also applies to intermediaries who help facilitate the redemption process.

THIS JUST IN: The coordinated efforts on all continents has now been completed and is in place for this historical construction of a truly asset based global financial system to begin.

The reset of the bank transfer computer system (Hercules) was slightly delayed early this week.  Bad weather had delayed the travel for activating the system in Hong Kong, but this final technical matter is now resolved.

The redemption systems are getting set to transact bonds and boxes shortly.  The entire process of redeeming these historical bond debts is at the core of this financial structure, as this debt must be settled, to unencumber the underlying assets which have backed these bonds.
 
Overall, according to our information, it is expected that the process of completing the bond redemption will take 2 years in total.

We are very fortunate to be at the very front line of this process and to be working directly with the top executive council responsible for having brought about and engineering this entire financial restructuring which is occurring.

So, as anticipated, when all starts, regardless of what day that turns out to be (we expect very soon) you will be called in and settled very quickly within the very first days of actual activity.

While this may still appear to be slow and agonizing for some, we are receiving constant communications of the progress being made and things are, indeed, very active behind the scenes with positive results being brought about, at virtually every step.

This is a huge endeavor which extends to all corners of the earth, but it seems that the final pieces are now in place.  For you, and us, the end goal is at hand. Monday promises to be the beginning of a very eventful week.

ANOTHER UPBEAT REPORT
We advance our update after the INTEL from last night in HK shared only for your personal satisfaction and that of your loved ones.
HK (PPP) Programs: according to our informant in HK ... They began making Bullets on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Consequently we should have our cards with a % payment in advances Friday (Tomorrow)  Just like popeye said....AMAZING!!

Inland TTMs: We confirmed yesterday that TTMs begin March 2nd

INTEL: We have reports tonight extended one day the availability of opening screens, as it was physically an impossibility to make all downloads of funds in the three days initially enable so that all transactions recorded could enter (Ends Today).  Also, definitively confirmed that TTM dates begin on March 2.

We have never had information as accurate on dates and planning as we have had today.

This is the ultimate report. We have just arrived at our journey's end of a new life beginning...

Obama and Clinton lie lie lie while FACTS PROVE otherwise

 
LAID OFF  DISNEY  WORKER  BREAKS  DOWN  IN  TEARS  BEFORE  SENATE  PANEL

The TRUTH about the destruction of the American economy by the Bush, Clinton and Obama regimes continues to come out before the public as whistleblowers testify

A Disney IT worker who was laid off and replaced by foreign workers along with hundreds of his colleagues broke down in tears before a Senate panel Thursday while telling his story.

“During the holiday season of 2014, I was sent a meeting invitation by a prominent Disney executive. With an excellent review in hand along with company announcements of record profits my mind buzzed with thoughts of a promotion or a bonus,” Leo Perrero, the former Disney worker testified before the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest.

“I walked into a small conference room with about two dozen highly respected fellow IT workers. The Disney executive made a harsh announcement to us all." hat harsh announcement, Perrero said, was that Disney was laying him and hundreds of others off. He would be without a job in 90 days.

“Your jobs have been given over to a foreign workforce,” Perrero recalled the executive saying. “In the meantime you will be training your replacements until your jobs are 100 percent transferred over to them and if you don’t cooperate you will not receive any severance pay."

Perrero noted that the one “glimmer of hope” left following the meeting was that there would be new employment opportunities at Disney. That hope was quickly dashed, however, he said, as he later learned that just four people were “directly rehired."

During the meeting Perrero said he began to worry about not only his future but also the future of America.  “Later that same day I remember very clearly going to the local church pumpkin sale and having to tell the kids that we could not buy any because my job was going over to a foreign worker,” he said, his voice beginning to crack.

“I started to think what kind of American was I becoming? Was I going to become part of ruining our country by taking severance pay in exchange for training my foreign replacement? How many other American families would be affected by the same foreign worker that I trained?” he said through tears.

Perrero recalled having to train his foreign replacement and the humiliation he felt at the task.  “The final period of the 90 days was the most disgraceful and demoralizing, as we had to watch the foreign workers completely take over our jobs. And we came to grips that the upcoming Disney jobs promise didn’t exist. Then finally on January 31st of 2015 we were forced to turn in our company badges, laptops and then ushered out the door,” he said.

Perrero noted that one of the only reasons he is able to speak out is that he has left the profession entirely.  “The situation at Disney is not an anomaly,” he continued. “This same abuse is happening nationwide.”

ALERT: USA Facing Highest Terror Threat Level

ALERT: USA Facing Highest Terror Threat Level Since Sept 11th Spread This                              Everywhere!

Terresa Monroe-Hamilton 

Saturday, February 27, 2016

 

 

This is insane. First we give Iran everything their demonic little hearts could desire, including $150 billion to play terrorist with. Now, we are under the highest terror threat level since 9/11 and the chief threat is… wait for it… Iran.

 

This looks all the world like national suicide to me, and Obama and Kerry gleefully engineered it. And if you dig even just a little bit, you will find Russia and China also behind much of the threat against the US.

 

Obama is purposely bringing ISIS into our country through the refugee resettlement program. It’s only a matter of time now until we get smacked woefully hard either from within or without or both. I have warned on this for years and the clock is ticking down and fast.

From Young Conservatives:

Top intelligence community officials warned Thursday that the United States faces the highest terrorist threat level since the 9/11 terror attacks, citing a record-breaking increase in the flow of foreign fighters to Syria and Iraq, as well as joint Iranian-North Korean plans to boost “attack capabilities” and other efforts by leading terror groups to increase their offensive capabilities.

As Iran “continues to be the foremost sponsor of terror” across the globe, ISIS has emerged as the “preeminent global terrorist threat,” with its combined strength now exceeding al Qaeda’s, according to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who warned lawmakers on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence that “unpredictable instability has become the new normal." (al Qaeda and ISIS created, recruited financed and directed by the criminal cabal in the U.S.A. - the world's leading sponsor of TERROR)   

The United States has never dealt with this type of threat landscape and struggles to ensure it can continue gathering intelligence on these terror groups which have shown unprecedented proficiency at obfuscating their actions.

Violent extremists now operate in 40 countries, Clapper said. Another seven countries have collapsing governments, and 14 are in danger of falling due to violent instability. An additional 59 countries have been marked as facing “significant risk of instability through 2016,” Clapper said.
Instability in these countries could enable them to become terrorist safe havens, as has been the case in Syria, Clapper said.

Our military leaders recognize the insanity of the Iran deal but are powerless to stop it. The US is acting like a prisoner being marched to execution who then hands the scimitar to the beheader and meekly bares their throat for the blade. Daily, I wonder if we will even make it to the next election. And if we do, is there time and the will to stop this apocalyptic train before it mows us down.

The Washington Free Beacon went on: Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea continue to collect sensitive data from hacking American networks, Clapper said. (How about the information easily and freely obtained via Hillary Clinton's purposely set up computer files of top secret and above - SAPs - highest military information?) 

“Targeting collection of the US political, military, economic, and technical information by foreign intelligence services continues unabated,” he said. “Russia and China pose the greatest threat, followed by Iran and Cuba on a lesser scale.”

Terrorist groups such as ISIS and al Qaeda have demonstrated an ability to hide their online operations. “The increased use by violent extremists of encrypted and secure Internet and mobile-based tech has enabled terrorist actors to go dark and serves to undercut intelligence and law enforcement efforts,” Clapper said.

Rep. Devin Nunes, the intelligence committee’s chairman, expressed concern over the 'government’s' ability to address all of these threats. “The US faces the highest threat level since the 9/11 attacks,” he said. (The people of this nation are waking up to the facts that the enemy within - their 'elected leaders' are, for the most part, guilty in setting up and carrying out 9/11 an a multitude of false flags across the nation - and those planned to come.)

“The intelligence community is being stretched thin and is overwhelmed by a complex threat matrix.” There’s not much more to say. We don’t have the ability to even protect ourselves any longer from missile threats, much less cyber attacks. Obama has gutted our military forces and weapons stockpiles. America is now a weakened sitting duck and the wolves are circling for the kill. (The guilty are traitors Obama, Clintons, Bushes, Cheneys and a multitude of others within the political arena of this nation, including some within the U.S.A. military and the Pentagon.)

Hillary Clinton is not Qualified to be President

More Proof that Hillary Clinton is not Qualified to be President

Written by Gary DeMar
Feb 27 2016


Many who are reading this may be too young to remember the time that Dan Quayle, Vice-President under George H. W. Bush, spelled the word “potato” wrong. It was an embarrassing thing to watch.

Here’s how TIME magazine described the incident:

“While visiting a school in Trenton, NJ, a student was asked to write the word ‘potato’ on the blackboard and Quayle urged him to add an ‘e’ to the end. The entire nation held its belly in laughter.”

Knowing how to spell is not a qualification for political office. Knowing the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution should be. 

In an interview with Steve Harvey, who had misspoken in front of millions of viewers when he announced the wrong Miss Universe winner, Hillary had confused a line from the Declaration of Independence and attributed it to the Constitution:

HILLARY CLINTON: (We’re not going to) come take your gun away if you’re a responsible gun owner. But please help us keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have them in the first place.

STEVE HARVEY: Right.

CLINTON: Let’s protect our children and our families from this.  (Audience applauds.) 

CLINTON: 92 percent of the American people agree with what I’ve said and what you’ve talked about, and 85 percent of gun owners agree with that. (False figures)

So we’ve got to say to the gun lobby, you know what, there is a constitutional right for people to own guns. But there’s also a constitutional right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness 

HARVEY: Absolutely. (Audience applauds; applause continues through the rest of Mrs. Clinton’s statement.) 
 

— that enables us to have a safe country where we are able to protect our children and others from this senseless gun violence. (H/T: News Busters) (? False - actual statistics for America prove this is an outright lie as per the usual Clinton modus operandi)

Actually, there isn’t a “constitutional right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” These are rights listed in the Declaration of Independence. Neither the Declaration nor the Constitution gives us those rights. We are “endowed” with those rights by the “Creator.” If we had neither document, we would still have those rights.  I don’t know anyone who would not like to “keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have them in the first place."

Because it is impossible to do this, in order to protect my Creator-given rights of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” from those who want to take them away from me by force, I want the means to do so.

Hillary Clinton or any other politician isn’t going to be able to stop every person who wants to steal my property or kill me for fun or profit.

Trump assassination joke not funny

Ex-Secret Service: Trump assassination joke not funny

 

 

'Irresponsible, grotesque, despicable, and ignorant'

Paul Bremmer

WND

Feb 27 2016

Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino has a few choice words for Ross Douthat after the New York Times columnist joked about an assassination attempt on Donald Trump.  Words like “irresponsible, grotesque, despicable and ignorant,” Bongino told WND in an interview.

 

On Wednesday afternoon Douthat tweeted, “Good news guys. I’ve figured out how the Trump campaign ends." He then linked to a YouTube clip from the 1983 movie “The Dead Zone” in which a character played by Christopher Walken tries to gun down a political candidate played by Martin Sheen. However, Sheen’s character thwarts the attempt by holding up a baby as a human shield, destroying his credibility.

 

As WND previously reported, Twitter users were quick to castigate Douthat.  The ostensibly conservative columnist then deleted his tweet, and the following morning he apologized, tweeting, “A lot readers were offended by my Trump/’Dead Zone’ joke from yesterday. I can see why, and I’ve deleted the tweet. Apologies.” 

 

Bongino said threatening or implying an assassination of a presidential candidate requires intent to trigger legal consequences, so Douthat should be safe on that front. However, that does not mean what he did was OK from a moral or ethical standpoint.

 

The larger issue, Bongino said, is that Douthat’s “joke” represents the arrogance of the political insider class that makes so many Americans sick.  “The people are angry at Washington, D.C. and, more importantly, the insider class which includes people like this joker,” Bongino said. “People are angry at them because they feel like morally and ethically that these people live by a different code, and this guy’s code is clearly, ‘I’m gonna say or do whatever I want to anyone who doesn’t live by this connected insider set of rules,’ even if it means tweeting a tweet that suggests someone should kill the guy!  “I mean, how out of touch, ethically challenged and disgusting can this group of people get?"

 

Bongino spent 12 years in the Secret Service, and he protected both George W. Bush and Barack Obama. In his book,  “Life Inside the Bubble: Why a Top-Ranked Secret Service Agent Walked Away From It All,” he wrote that Obama’s first inauguration was a proud moment for America outside of the president’s politics.  And Bongino, who has run as a Republican for both a U.S. House and U.S. Senate seat from Maryland, is no fan of Obama’s politics.  “I vehemently and wholeheartedly disagree with the 'president’s' ideology and legislative agenda,” he admitted. “I think that’s clear. I’ve obviously never run from that. … [But] I was always personally very complimentary because that’s what we as Americans should do – we should focus on issues."

 

Bongino believes Douthat, who appears to favor Marco Rubio and John Kasich over Trump, should likewise not let his dislike of the Donald’s policies drive him to make assassination jokes.  On the same day Douthat unleashed his ill-fated tweet, Charles C.W. Cooke unloaded a barrage of militaristic rhetoric in a National Review article titled, “It’s Time for an Anti-Trump Manhattan Project.” Cooke wrote: “Now is the time to throw everything at Trump, and to stop this disaster in its tracks. … Incidentally, when I say ‘everything,’ I really do mean everything. Tomorrow night, as they stand on either side of Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz must find their resolve and all-but-machine-gun the man to the floor."

 

Of course, that is essentially what Rubio and Cruz ended up doing Thursday night.  Cooke continued: “In the meantime, conservatives who are not running for president must ensure that every spare dollar is spent attacking Trump. Melt down the fences if you have to.  We need long-range bombers here.”  He ended his piece like this: “The anti-Trump forces that still make up the majority of the Republican coalition must begin an expedited Manhattan Project, the sole aim of which is to bring down the front-runner piece by unpleasant piece. ‘If not us, who?’ Ronald Reagan asked in the heat of the 1981 budget battle. ‘If not now, when?’ Time to go nuclear, chaps."

 

Cooke’s article is another example of an out-of-touch insider attacking a candidate whom many ordinary Americans love, according to Bongino. Plenty of people appear to be getting sick of attitudes like Cooke’s, he said.

 

Bongino, whose latest book is titled “The Fight: A Secret Service Agent’s Inside Account of Security Failings and the Political Machine,” said when he travels around the country giving speeches, he sees voters are prioritizing their wants and needs.  “What’s at the top of that list, what is priority number one for them is getting rid of the insider class,” he said. “Everything else is secondary, and I think the establishment in D.C. on both sides had better wake up quick or they’re going to get woken up fast. They’re going to wake up the day after the election and be like, ‘What just happened?'” 

 

This explains the support for Trump, Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders, according to Bongino. He said Trump is a political outsider who rails against the political machine all the time. Cruz is an elected official who has built his career on fighting against insiders, or the “Washington cartel” as he calls it. Sanders talks like an outsider, although Bongino views him as a Washington insider.  “They all have that one theme in common,” Bongino concluded. “People are triaging their wants and needs in this election, and want and need number one is to get rid of this insider class, to sweep D.C. clean completely and get rid of these people.”
