Our Modern Enslavment
In today's modern forward looking society, we are reverting to the serfs and servants of 1000 and more years ago. They take the fruits of our labors in the form of taxes, they strip away our liberties in the name of protecting us from the big bad scary enemy in some other corner of the globe. They take our choices away in the name of protecting us from our own poor judgement, be it a super big gulp, or whatever else. None of these are consequential compared to the biggest theft we allow them to take form us, and that is our Time. The days of a household like mine are coming to an end. Most families are forced to send both parents to work, leaving children to be raised by the system and programed by their televisions. This is what we must change. The war being raged on the family is the destruction of our society.
Change begins with the individual and those closest to him or her. It is in how we raise our children, how we treat our spouses, and in the choices we make. Wake up, To see the farm is to leave it.

You must unplug yourself completely from the system
So, I was a big Ron Paul supporter in the 2008 r3VOLution. I even started off the 2012 election cycle as a Ron Paul supporter. I was motivated, and engaged for him. But the luster wore off quickly for me.
Things seemed wrong for awhile, but I pushed past it. Then when the voter fraud was apparent and Dr. Paul said that he expected it, and what could he do, and blah blah blah. It angered me. No Dr. Paul it is not an anti-Paul conspiracy. It is an Anti-Liberty movement conspiracy, and then I realized the truth. I rubbed the last bit of sleep from my eyes. Ron Paul is a diversionary tactic. He is there to keep those in the Liberty movement in line. He is controlled opposition.
So am I surprised Rand sold out? No, it was expected. Am I happy Dr. Paul is sending 500 delegates to the Republican national convention? No, I could care less. The system is completely broken. It does not work anymore, and it hasn't for a very long time.
Am I concerned? No, this system must pass for a new Liberty movement to be created. Freedom is appreciated most by those who are the most oppressed. Our country is fat and lazy right now, and that is why we barely moan at our rights being striped away. The light of Liberty will only return after a plunge into the dark. That's just how it is, and the times we are in. The job right now is to start sowing the seeds of Liberty. To explain that Liberty is a philosophy, that you have to carry with you, and into your everyday life. As a result it must be carried into politics. Liberty wilts among the confines of Governmental controls though. All government is unjust, unmoral, and a necessary evil. That is why our founders were so careful in creating a charter of negative liberties, so as to try to fight the natural progression of government into a bloated, totalitarianism state where we are headed today.
So all we can do is live the philosophy. To stand on our own, in the middle of an ocean of detractors, and hope we carry the day, and can break the chains of the economic slavery they have placed around us all.
Adam Kokesh recently said " Statism is a Sin. It is not one to be tolerated, encouraged, or endorsed in any circumstance..." I agree with that statement.
So as a good friend of mine says all over the internet: "You must completely unplug yourself from the system." No one person is going to save us, it is up to us. I for one wouldn't want it any other way. I don't want a Nanny Goat. If you want Ron Paul or whoever else to wave their hands and fix everything for you. Well, then this isn't the Blog for you, and you should just move on.

J4P(updated)
Update:
Charles Dyer aka July4Patriot was sentenced to 30 years today. His appeal was immediately granted. Contrary to what was reported by the local news his Mother did attend, and from a source close to the Dyer family as I understand Charles now has a group of layers from the Innocence Project working on his case. My heart goes out to Charles and his family, and I wish them the best through these troubled times, and Godspeed in his appeal.

The Collapse is the Easy Part
An excellent article by John Galt, got it here.
Throughout the recent five years of American economic, political, and Constitutional crises the world chugged along with winners and losers selected by fate and foolishness as the erosion of our modern civilization continued from within. This system crash at all levels, morality, financial structure, religion, politics, and the viability of the nations impacted from this disaster is going to lead to some extremely long term changes in the world, some of which will shock the unprepared, and kill the unaware. There is, however, some good news:
The collapse is the easy part.
If one takes a moment to review modern history, the realization that the statement above is not a concoction of a historian from the skeptical point of view, but one of reality. The American people have been living in a bubble since 1991, created by politicians who over reacted to a garden variety slowdown in the business cycle by pressuring a then scheming Alan Greenspan into finding new ways to use the power of the Federal Reserve banking system to inflate and expand economic activity. Based on the charts below, the efforts of the political and financial elites was a resounding success until the end of the century.
Unfortunately for the proverbial powers that be, the effectiveness wore off when the bubble popped in 1999 and the theory that perpetual printing will cure all is beginning to lose out to the forces of natural business cycles, deleveraging, and economics. Eventually, as consumers ran out of money and earnings failed to keep pace with real inflation as opposed to the hedonically manipulated C.P.I., the velocity of money began to decline which meant that credit was collapsing not just at the consumer level, but across the economy as a whole. The chart below continues to verify this decline.
Thus every effort to avert a deflationary economic depression has been met with half measures of so-called “Quantitative Easing” which has done nothing to offset deflationary pressure but instead created price inflation in the face of a continuing economic contraction. The Federal Reserve has put itself into a liquidity trap with none of the benefits from monetary printing filtering beyond the banking sector and into the general economy. If in fact this had worked according to theory, the graph above would continued with a move back above the 1.7 level; instead it has collapsed to the lowest levels in over twenty years. Yet this little tidbit is comforting in the fact that it only indicates a greater risk of economic collapse without providing a timetable or the consequences thereof.
In Europe, Greece is the closest example to a complete collapse in its government, economy, and as a result civilization. Middle class citizens have been wiped out financially. Families are abandoning pets in record numbers and children in lower, yet expanding numbers. The dramatic suicides are now becoming an almost daily occurrence with each event drawing more and more attention to the futility of thinking that there is a pension or retirement program for the elderly to rely on. The collapse has not hit Greece at this time, it is just now beginning to accelerate. The election on June 17th will determine its future and if the powers in charge are able to work with the financial elites and rig the election, odds are the transition will be worse as the European Commission attempts to paint a happy face on to a revolution. The revolt that can be expected in Greece will eventually follow in Ireland, Cyprus, Hungary, the rest of the Balkans and possibly even Italy and Spain.
When that happens, then the crisis hits America square in the eyes, causing a chain of irreversible events that will reverberate around the world back to the source causing even greater conflict and disruption. Then and only then can we call it a “collapse” in the true sense of the word.
How would such an event look to the average U.S. citizen comfortably tucked in their insulated video game on-demand movie world with guaranteed government benefits and little risk ever endured in their life beyond perhaps an amusement park ride?
Imagine a world where elderly parents commit suicide so the children will have some properties and material to inherit so they might have the ability to survive just a little bit longer.
Imagine a time where seven year old children are abandoned by their parents on the side of the road with the family pets so some selfish yuppies can maintain the facade of their prior lifestyle.
Imagine an era of American evil where neighbor turns against neighbor to benefit themselves by creating and bearing false witness against them so they may be rewarded by the state, much like the inhabitants of the old Soviet bloc.
Imagine one meal per day of 1000 calories to survive.
This might sound mildly horrific to some and comical to others, but the truth is as Americans are put on the street and forced to endure the hardships that other Americans did during the Great Depressions of our past, the political class will promise solutions designed to create a more solidified authoritarian state to lock in their power and wealth to the exclusion of others. The fact that individuals continue to claim that this can not happen here have failed to watch the deterioration of our freedoms and the willingness of the average soul to fight for them. The consequences of decades of inaction and selfish desire to preserve each citizen’s middle class McMansion fiefdom will supersede the Constitution because the government has ensured that Americans no longer review history or civics and thus the desire to preserve it.
Yet this is not the total collapse, this is still the easy part.
The hard facts which will emerge on the other side after a grand reset then trial and tribulation is the most difficult concept for most individuals to wrap their minds around. Throughout history this event has occurred over and over again, yet the same if not worse mistakes are made as societies emerge to the proverbial “other side.” Think about the prior collapses of major societies in recent history and the results:
In 1917, a Russian monarchy gave way to a Communist dictatorship. While the former was evil, corrupt, and incapable of exploiting the nation’s vast resources to recognize the era of the monarchies was coming to a close, the alternative as history has judged, was far worse committing and creating standards for atrocities that terrify sane men to this day.
In 1920′s Italy, the post war economic implosion opened the door to a quasi-Socialist who learned how to manipulate the media and financial elites to achieve power and introduce a reign that eventually killed thousands of his countrymen in a fruitless series of wars and eventual defeat. The ego of a dictator knows no bounds as fascism was an honorable term in both Europe and the U.S. at that time.
In 1920′s to 1930′s Germany, a Weimar Republic emerged, barely blunting the concepts of Marxism but eventually falling to National Socialism which killed millions and set the stage for the Pax Americana. Sadly the peace has been squandered.
In 1930′s America, the visions of a President with an obvious abhorrence for the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law lead to a dictatorship of “democracy” which almost destroyed the nation without external assistance. Thankfully some brave souls stood against this onslaught and prevented the collapse from expanding to the nation’s heart and soul saving the U.S. from a hybrid Italian-Germanic model of total dictatorship despite the 1932-1935 attempts to rule via edict and Executive Order.
In 1947 China, a nation was formed from nation states under the guise of “Communist Liberation Ideology” as I like to call it and the end results was a state which perfected the art of genocide so efficiently that even the Soviet Union was horrified.
The list is endless with example after example from Latin America to Africa and around the world again but the point is that the collapse while painful will not be the hardship that everyone envisions. The people who have prepared for such an event will survive and perhaps thrive for a period of time during the anarchy and chaos which may reign supreme in their part of the country. This will give way to a new, highly technocratic police state in some nations but I fear in others a perpetual state of civil war could occur; encouraged by outside influences so as to distract the domestic populations from their own hardships.
No matter what we witness, what happens in the weeks, months, and years ahead the title of this article should provide some assurance that each and every day which passes now could be construed as the good old days.
As tomorrow could be the nightmare others call dreams, and freedom a fleeting memory only in our hearts.

China condemns U.S. gun ownership as human rights violation
Full article here
A snip:
A report issued by the State Council Information Office of the People's Republic of China has included U.S. gun ownership among a list of human rights violations, Law Enforcement Examiner Jim Kouri reported yesterday. "The Human Rights Record of the United States in 2011" was published last Friday on the PRC’s Consulate General in New York website.
“The United States prioritizes the right to keep and bear arms over the protection of citizens' lives and personal security and exercises lax firearm possession control, causing rampant gun ownership,” the report claims. “The U.S. people hold between 35 percent and 50 percent of the world' s civilian-owned guns, with every 100 people having 90 guns [and] 47 percent of American adults reported that they had a gun.”
My initial response to this was vile anger at the pompousness of it. Then I remembered our own politicians sold us out to these people. Well, first and foremost I am an American. This countries founding ideals, and dream of Liberty of all is the only national ideology I would sacrifice my life for. But with that said I am of 100% Greek descent. And I only have two words for China, the UN, or anyone else who wants to try to disarm me "Molon Labe".
Don't get me wrong, I do not believe that now is the time to rush into any action. As Patriots, or whatever else you call yourself, our position is reactionary, it is not provocative or incendiary. A day may come, when it does most every American will know it. It's just not here yet. Still

But I have to say I like these:
A Flag in the Gutter
I was on the phone talking with a friend of mine, while driving home from various outings on Memorial Day. My husband made an abrupt illegal u-turn. He drove halfway back down the previous block, and stopped in the middle of the road. I asked him what he was doing? He answered "Oh you know, Change starts with us and all that." He proceeded to get out of the car and cross two lanes of opposing traffic, to retrieve someones car mounted American Flag. It was brand new, and just laying in the rain gutter. This isn't the first time he has done this. In fact it is about the eighth, and the fourth I have witnessed. The most memorable was his retrieval of one that was blowing down the third lane of a four lane highway.
I am left to wonder at the person who wants to say they care about their country. So much so to go buy a flag for their car, and yet can't be bothered to pick it up when it falls. At least their are some of us out there who still care. I just hope there is enough.
The flag from above now flys over my 1 year olds crib.

Step 1: Dog Tags and a Microchip, Step 2: Verichip
I was just catching up on some reading, and found this article very interesting. You can read it here. It was only a matter of time. Here is a bit of the article:
..."The devices also would report data to doctors. But privacy analysts have expressed concern that the implants could be used not just to monitor health but to keep track of and possibly control people.
DARPA describes the technology on which it is working as “a truly disruptive innovation,” which would diagnose, monitor vital states and “even deliver medicine into the bloodstream.”"...
Well, are you surprised? I'm not, the all in one verichip will not be given up on so easily. A generation or two with stories coming from the military how the chip saved his life and her life, and it will just make perfect sense that everyone should have one. Well at least the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 and Foreign Relations Authorization Act in 1987 stop the government from using propaganda against the public.

The Sheep Parable
Another one from a Dear Friend of Mine Custom2006
Not so long ago and in a pasture too uncomfortably
close to here, a flock of sheep lived and grazed. They were protected
by a dog, who answered to the master, but despite his best efforts from
time to time a nearby pack of wolves would prey upon the flock.
One day a group of sheep, bolder than the rest, met to discuss their dilemma. 'Our dog is good, and vigilant, but he is one and the wolves are many. The wolves he catches are not always killed, and the master judges and releases many to prey again upon us, for no reason we can understand. What can we do? We are sheep, but we do not wish to be food, too!'
One sheep spoke up, saying 'It is his teeth and claws that make the wolf so terrible to us. It is his nature to prey, and he would find any way to do it, but it is the tools he wields that make it possible. If we had such teeth, we could fight back, and stop this savagery.' The other sheep clamored in agreement, and they went together to the old bones of the dead wolves heaped in the corner of the pasture, and gathered fang and claw and made them into weapons.
That night, when the wolves came, the newly armed sheep sprang up with their weapons and struck at them, crying, "Be Gone!" We are not food!' and drove off the wolves, who were astonished. When did sheep become so bold and so dangerous to wolves? When did sheep grow teeth?
It was unthinkable!
The next day, flush with victory and waving their weapons, they approached the flock to pronounce their discovery. But as they drew nigh, the flock huddled together and cried out, 'Baaaaaaaadddd! Baaaaaddd things!
You have bad things! We are afraid! You are not sheep!'
The brave sheep stopped, amazed. 'But we are your brethren!' they cried. 'We are still sheep, but we do not wish to be food. See, our new teeth and claws protect us and have saved us from slaughter. They do not make us into wolves, they make us equal to the wolves, and safe from their viciousness!'
'Baaaaaaad!' cried the flock, 'the things are bad and will pervert you, and we fear them. You cannot bring them into the flock!' So the armed sheep resolved to conceal their weapons, for although they had no desire to panic the flock, they wished to remain in the fold. But they would not return to those nights of terror, waiting for the wolves to come.
In time, the wolves attacked less often and sought easier prey, for they had no stomach for fighting sheep who possessed tooth and claw even as they did. Not knowing which sheep had fangs and which did not, they came to leave sheep out of their diet almost completely except for the occasional raid, from which more than one wolf did not return.
Then came the day when, as the flock grazed beside the stream, one sheep's weapon slipped from the folds of her fleece, and the flock cried out in terror again, 'Baaaaaad! You still possess these evil things! We must ban you from our presence!'
And so they did. The great chief sheep and his council, encouraged by the words of their advisors, placed signs and totems at the edges of the pasture forbidding the presence of hidden weapons there. The armed sheep protested before the council, saying, 'It is our pasture, too, and we have never harmed you! When can you say we have caused you hurt? It is the wolves, not we, who prey upon you. We are still sheep, but we are not food!'
But the flock drowned them out with cries of 'Baaaaaaddd! We will not hear your clever words! You and your things are evil and will harm us!'
Saddened by this rejection, the armed sheep moved off and spent their days on the edges of the flock, trying from time to time to speak with their brethren to convince them of the wisdom of having such teeth, but meeting with little success. They found it hard to talk to those who, upon hearing their words, would roll back their eyes and flee, crying 'Baaaaddd! Bad things!'
That night, the wolves happened upon the sheep's totems and signs, and said, 'Truly, these sheep are fools! They have told us they have no teeth! Brothers, let us feed!' And they set upon the flock, and horrible was the carnage in the midst of the fold. The dog fought like a demon, and often seemed to be in two places at once, but even he could not halt the slaughter.
It was only when the other sheep arrived with their weapons that the wolves fled, only to remain on the edge of the pasture and wait for the next time they could prey, for if the sheep were so foolish once, they would be so again. This they did, and do still.
In the morning, the armed sheep spoke to the flock, and said, 'See? If the wolves know you have no teeth, they will fall upon you. Why be prey? To be a sheep does not mean to be food for wolves!' But the flock cried out, more feebly for their voices were fewer, though with no less terror, 'Baaaaaaaad! These things are bad! If they were banished, the wolves would not harm us! Baaaaaaad!'
So they resolved to retain their weapons, but to conceal them from the flock; to endure their fear and loathing, and even to protect their brethren if the need arose, until the day the flock learned to understand that as long as there were wolves in the night, sheep would need teeth to repel them.
They would still be sheep, but they would not be food!
Where I choose to Stand
I recently read this comment on the Free North Carolina blog.:
While I never had the chance to meet July 4 Patriot, I to would and will stand by him to this day and beyond. He has yet to be sentenced. That will occur on June 5th, 2012. If at all possible I will try to attend. When the facts are added up in this case, they stink. I think about how easily this could be any one of the Patriots out there speaking their mind, standing up for Liberty and Freedom. I have seen how the court system works in this country. Innocent until proven guilty has been DOA for a long time now. With one accusation you can ruin someones life. I think to myself that with all we know TPTB are capable of and willing to do to achieve their ends, is this so far fetched? I answer myself absolutely not, on the contrary this despicable downright disgusting behavior and perversion of justice is exactly what I would expect. It shows to me more than ever that "The Firm League of Friendship" the founders spoke of is desperately needed on so many levels. While we may not all agree on what the vision of our nation should be, we can all back each other up, and not let the outside forces influence our pact.
I am reminded of what happens when the call of aid to Patriots goes unanswered:
"May 23, 2012 12:14 AM
I
know Dyer, proudly. A friend and I went a couple of years ago, met he
and his family not long after he was released from the Corp; at his
families home in Duncan, OK. He is a genuine man, and his family is as
good as gold.
Dyer is being railroaded, because without a doubt he was the most effective speaker for the then "Patriot Cause" that was steadily gaining momentum. He alone was fueling it. Plus he was willing to do whatever it took to move forward. He was a true threat.
I know, without a shadow of doubt in my mind, that the charges are complete BS. I would stand beside him to this day.

- Fellow citizens and compatriots;
- I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa
Anna. I have sustained a continual Bombardment and cannonade for 24
hours and have not lost a man. The enemy has demanded a surrender at
discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the
fort is taken. I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, and our
flag still waves proudly from the walls. I shall never surrender or retreat.
Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism &
everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all
dispatch. The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily and will no doubt
increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is
neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible and
die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor &
that of his country. Victory or Death.
- William Barret Travis
- Lt. Col. Comdt.
- P.S. The Lord is on our side. When the enemy appeared in sight we
had not three bushels of corn. We have since found in deserted houses
80 or 90 bushels and got into the walls 20 or 30 head of Beeves.

A Patriot Railroaded
On April 19, 2012 Staff Sgt. Charles Dyer a.k.a July 4 Patriot was found guilty of a heinous charge solely on hearsay. As I have previously stated, I do not take up this cause lightly, but after reviewing the facts of this case I in no way believe he is guilty. As a mother of 5 this is serious to me. I ask you keep an open mind and make up your own from the facts. In this post I will show evidence that he was never given his rightful day in court, and if he had been, reasonable doubt would have been well surpassed.
The Following is a timeline and press release from Charles Mother and Father:
Guilty Until Proven Innocent
Charles Dyer Case
(Press Release to be used in its entirety)
It only takes an accusation! Let’s do a timeline analysis and take a look at the chain of events knowing that only a portion of the evidence was presented in the court of law. Your life has been handed to 12 jurors with only partial information and they have been instructed to make an informed decision affecting the remainder of your life.
7/2009 – Charles files for divorce from Valerie
12/17/09 – 12/24/09 – The child spends Christmas vacation with Charles and his family.
12/24/09pm – 12/25/09pm – The child spends Christmas with her mother.
12/25/09pm – 1/3/10 – The child spends the remainder of Christmas vacation with Charles and his family.
12/25/09 – On Valerie’s computer searches were made for how to prove child abuse, what happens when you make false claims, adoption and multiple pornographic images beginning at 9:14pm.
1/2/10 - according to both the child and Charles Dyer, she got in trouble for lying about messing with his gun. She was spanked and made to sit in time out for lying.
1/3/10 (Sunday) – The child returns home to Valerie who states that while bathing the child, she complained of her “bo-bo hurting” Valerie states she was red and swollen but no Physician visit or police report was made.
1/6/10 (Wednesday) – Charles calls Valerie to set up his next visitation and Valerie stated “she wanted to keep the child with her that weekend because of the length of time they were apart over Christmas”.
1/4/10 – 1/7/10 (Monday – Thursday) – The child attends school (confirmed with school records) and no report was filed during that time.
1/8/10 (Friday) – Valerie reported the abuse to authorities however on the stand she testified under oath that she “Went the next day after the child told her of the abuse”. Really?? As a parent would you wait 5 days to seek medical care or file charges if you really believed someone had abused your daughter??
1/8/10 - Valerie goes first to DHS, then the Duncan Police Department and finally the Stephens County Sheriff’s Department and files a report that her daughter has stated that her daddy touched her bobo.
1/11/10 - THE DAY BEFORE THE FORENSIC INTERVIEW OF THE CHILD. The child is kept home from school. 438 pornographic images are viewed at various times through-out the day. They are of adults engaging in sex and oral sex.
1/12/10 - The child is transported, along with her mother, to Norman, Oklahoma by the Sheriff’s department so that the child can be interviewed by forensic interviewer Jessica Taylor at the Abbott House. During this interview the child states that on January 2nd her father had sex with her and she performed oral sex on him….multiple times in multiple locations in the trailer where he and Amanda were living. 543 pornographic images were viewed between 11:26 and 11:41 AM. The forensic interview would not begin until 2:11 pm. It is no more than an hour and half drive from Duncan to Norman. These files were viewed well in advance of leaving for the interview. A great amount of them were of adults engaged in oral sex.
Charles goes to the Court House to request an officer to go with him to pick up his daughter for visitation and was arrested when he arrived there since the charges had been filed. The officers went to Charles’s house with Amanda to collect items to send for DNA examination. They collected the child’s pajamas, underwear, sheets, comforter and couch cushions. The DNA profile obtained from the components excluded the child as a potential contributor.
The examination of Valerie’s computer hard drive revealed the presence of adult pornography which was all associated with the Internet Explorer web browser…on nine different instances over six different days between December 25, 2009 and January 12, 2010.
James Hekia (Valerie’s uncle who is a convicted Child Molester) was living in the home with Valerie’s mother and Valerie and the child stayed there prior to getting a home of their own. Valerie even admitted under oath to leaving the child in that home while she was gone doing drugs. Hekia is currently serving a 5 year prison sentence that began in August of 2011 for charges of failing to register as a sex offender.
Additional Facts:
5/2009 – While living in Oklahoma, Valerie and her brother contacted Charles’s commanding officer in California and made accusations that he had abused her and was making statements against the government. Later she called his commanding officer and informed them that she was lying and wanted to drop the charges. They did an investigation and he was later cleared of all charges.
Valerie received $3282 from Charles for child support during the 6 months prior to these accusations being made. Due to her history, he had Valerie sign a log for each time she received money. She received additional monies that were not documented.
1/22/11 – Charles arrested - Both Charles and Valerie were at the Stephens County court house. Valerie then went and filed a report stating that on the steps of the Stephens County court house, Charles attacked her and had broken the restraining order she had against him. Charles’s defense attorney immediately requested that the surveillance tapes at the court house be reviewed to show that his client had not attacked Valerie Dyer. According to this individual, when the tapes were reviewed, they indeed proved that Charles Dyer had not physically attacked Valerie Dyer. In fact, the tapes showed that Valerie had attacked Charles and he was released.-
1/5/2012 - Charles has requested a polygraph be performed which was eventually granted. His family paid for this service to be performed since the Sheriffs office was not interested in having this done. His Attorney commissioned a polygrapher who arrived some time around 11 am Thursday January 5, 2012 and attempted to set up for the test in an unused jury room of the Stephens County Court house. The procedure was interrupted by Judge Enos (the presiding judge over Dyer’s trial) and told they could not conduct the test on the same floor as the court rooms. The Judge directed them to the lower floor of the court house telling them to get with the Sheriff’s department to obtain a room. Sheriff McKinney refused to provide a room and the testing was terminated without completion.
The District Attorney’s office wired Valerie with audio and had her contact both Charles and his friends to ask questions about the case.
A motion was filed to revoke his bond after the first trial when he was seen walking near the court house while his family was in David Hammonds office next door. A report was filed that he was casing out the court house and “told an officer that he was looking for his lost dog” which the officer later testified under oath that he actually never even spoke to Charles.
Charles was offered a Plea this past Monday that was called a “Sweet Deal”. He was offered a 2 ½ year sentence leaving him just 8 months to serve if he would plead guilty and be listed on the Sex Offenders Registry. Charles refused to plead guilty to this type of activity since he is not. He took his chances with the system and was given 30 years due to the lack of information provided to the jury.
I know seeing these cases in the media tend to make us jump to a conclusion on someone’s character and it is difficult to step back and examine all the facts, especially when the local Sheriff comments to the news media that Charles brought “Circus-like sideshows” to the case. His family has been asked not to go to the media because we might “jeopardize the trial” and we have followed their wishes. We have attempted to let the system work and follow all of their requests. This is what we got, Charles convicted in the media before we ever got to the courtroom. Please listen to the facts and I hope you never find you or your family in this type of a situation. If you do, hopefully you will get a fair trial. We can’t fault the jurors for the 30 year sentence because the court system does not allow them to receive all of the facts, even thought the court makes you swear under oath to tell the “whole truth and nothing but the truth”.
The following five points have been taken from the J4P thread on the ARM/AMM website:
1. J4 was promised he would have his day in court. He faithfully reviewed all the discovery with his lawyer, and knew if all this was shown to a jury they will see he had and would NEVER do such a horrible crime.
2. As a matter of fact the family has an audio of Ken Western, FBI, recorded from the FBI office by his family. In this audio Western and other agents state, clearly, "we make sure we have people charged with child abuse and sexual abuse on their own children to be sure to have no support..."
This audio was not used in his April 16 2012 trial. The family is saving it for the firearms charges BUT, I beg to differ....I think it should have been used.
3. J4P had no way of knowing all of his evidence was not going to be used by his lawyer or that the judge was going to shut the defense down. The family didn't find out until Sunday morning the lawyer simply said "I rest," without talking to J4P about it. Also most of the discussions took place in judges chambers. J4 told his family he was stunned by this action and never expected it.
He was offered on Monday, after jury selection I believe if he were guilty he would have taken this plea and disappeared into the sunset. HE COULD HAVE WALKED OUT OF THAT JAIL A FREE MAN ON APRIL 16, 2012. J4P did turn the plea down. Lets never forget that he stood strong, proud and with out fear in court.
4. The Negative DNA report was not used this would have created reasonable doubt for the jury. There was NO reasonable doubt at all used or allowed by the judge.
5. Valerie Dyers uncle, James Hekia, a class three sex offender, had access to the child, was allowed on the witness list. Hekia was brought to Stephens, County Jail, Duncan OK, to be a witness for the defense. This was done at the expense of the Dyer family. The judge disallowed hekia to be put on the stand, why you ask? Think about it, if you cant create reasonable doubt, you WILL Get a conviction.
Every day innocent patriots are being persecuted. This posting is far from over, but to wrap things up for today in closing I will say that silence in the face of evil is compliance with that evil. When one of our movement is taken down three more must be ready to take his or her place. Names like Jose Guerena, Bill Cooper, Charles Dyer, and many others should not be allowed to just fade away into unremembered graves and forgotten cells. These are the souls that the governments arrogance and greed have destroyed. These are the lives that the controlled demolition of our society has sacrificed. I will not forget

In Defense of Freedom
I first saw this video almost three years ago. I find the conviction and honesty in his words as moving today as they were then. His story is far from over, but hasn't gone well since. Soon I will be posting all the info I have on his railroading of a trial, and a lot of information straight from the source that the Jury never heard. I don't believe the allegations against him for a second, but for now Staff Sgt. Charles Dyer :
Home School
I home school my five children. I am proud of this fact. I am unapologetic in teaching my young children true American history, and to have a deep sense of pride in their ancestors achievements.
Today we focused on the Wright Brothers, and their achievements. I had forgotten about the race they were in with Samuel Peirpoint Langley. Here you see two American brothers, dreamers, entrepreneurs utterly and completely trounce the federal government backed Sam Langley, and change the world forever. Wilbur & Orville set a goal, went after it and succeeded with out any governmental(emphasis on the mental) help or interference. They went from a small modest bike shop in Ohio to a true world wide business. I could only imagine the hoops they would have to jump through today to satisfy Uncle Sam, not the least of which would probably have been a environmental study of kitty hawk for ten years before test flights would have been allowed. Today the federal Governments oversight would have made such an achievement impossible. But left to their own devices, and given freedom, Americans can achieve what prior had only been achieved by the Gods.

Have you had your America O's today?
It would seem that with all the other garbage we are fed from DC these days, and right along with the pink slime they want to feed our children comes this in an article from buzzfeed. Unsurprisingly, Uncle Comrade Sam thinks the idea that it is a bad thing for the US government to feed the public misinformation and propaganda is outdated. That's right, Big Brother is getting ready to drop all the pretexts, and make up our minds for us. The bill has already been written and passed the house Friday afternoon.
In an amendment to the latest defense authorization act:
"The tweak to the bill would essentially neutralize two previous acts—the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 and Foreign Relations Authorization Act in 1987—that had been passed to protect U.S. audiences from our own government’s misinformation campaigns."
I am reminded of a short poem from Lewis Carroll:

"The tweak to the bill would essentially neutralize two previous acts—the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 and Foreign Relations Authorization Act in 1987—that had been passed to protect U.S. audiences from our own government’s misinformation campaigns."
I am reminded of a short poem from Lewis Carroll:
How doth the little crocodile...
How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!
How cheerfully he seems to grin
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in,
With gently smiling jaws!

The Emerging Police State con't Chicago style
ShortwaveAmerica has posted an excellent photo expose of the DHS(and others) show of strength in Chicago for the upcoming NATO summit. It leaves me to wonder just what percentage of their assets they have committed to this operation?
One thing is sure though.
The Wolves are at the gate.
One thing is sure though.
The Wolves are at the gate.
The Emerging Police State
This link was brought to me by a dear friend.
Some of the article:
"Chicago police have reportedly engaged in a preemptive raid against activists that planned to protest the NATO summit. The raid is believed to have taken place late last night in the Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago…"
"3 plainclothes police officers unlawfully stopped, handcuffed, and searched a NATO protester on Michigan Avenue and Wacker Drive at approximately 2pm today [Thursday, May 17]. According to the protester, he did not consent to a search and there was no probable cause to detain him. The police also photographed and questioned him about where he was from, how he got to Chicago, how long it took, what he was doing here, where he was staying, who he was with, and how long he was planning to say in Chicago. The protester refused to answer any questions and was eventually released…"
These are not the hallmarks of a Free and Just society. The right to free assembly is widely recognized as a Human right, a Political Freedom, and a Civil Liberty. Our own Founders found it to be of such importance as to be one of the very first things protected in The Bill of Rights. Time and again it is trampled on, I am not saying that this should be the straw to break the proverbial Camels back, but it should be remembered, along with every other violation. Sometimes there is a reckoning, and some times we must bare witness, so as punishable deeds do not get forgotten.

The police also photographed and questioned him about where he was from, how he got to Chicago, how long it took, what he was doing here, where he was staying, who he was with, and how long he was planning to say in Chicago. The protester refused to answer any questions and was eventually released…"
These are not the hallmarks of a Free and Just society. The right to free assembly is widely recognized as a Human right, a Political Freedom, and a Civil Liberty. Our own Founders found it to be of such importance as to be one of the very first things protected in The Bill of Rights. Time and again it is trampled on, I am not saying that this should be the straw to break the proverbial Camels back, but it should be remembered, along with every other violation. Sometimes there is a reckoning, and some times we must bare witness, so as punishable deeds do not get forgotten.

Bank of America Declaration
For your consideration, a united effort that is being spread through several different mediums.
I "signed" this recently, and ask you to consider doing the same. I personally have committed to giving no bank other than small, local operations my business. Bank of America is not the problem, but the institution has been part of some very negative events in recent years. This company needs to be reprimanded in the only manner they cannot lobby their way out of... by you and me.
By Americans who stand on principle.
By Americans who are unafraid to stand and not bend.
I believe this will, if executed on a large enough scale, send a message that cannot be misunderstood. Print it out and post it. Copy and paste it. Add your name and those of others, and send it to the bank. Whatever.
Get the word out and deny these people your consent. Join us.
Stand and do not bend.
Resist.
Our actions to restore our nation to its original founding principles are coming to a crossroads. We have been divided in our efforts through an inability to focus upon one issue as a whole. Most of our efforts have been (and still are) focused on the 2012 elections and political ideologies. Our nation was founded on Liberty, not political power and agendas. We need a tangible goal now to show that patriots (not partisans) still control our destiny. One goal, one victory will show that We the People are in control of Liberty’s future.
We believe that the recent events surrounding the Bank of America can become this goal to win our first battle. This institution has decided that the 2nd amendment of the Constitution of the United States is not in line with their bank’s code of ethics. We understand that this amendment’s purpose was to protect us from an abusive government. It appears that they feel it may be used to protect us from abusive financial institutions as well. And they may be correct: the distinction between government and financial institutions in our country is gone.
The Bank of America is the country’s largest bank with assets of $2.3 trillion. This bank currently has $75 trillion in credit derivatives.
Here is a list of additional grievances:
This financial institution has been found guilty of laundering South American drug money in 2006 ($7.5 million settlement).
They received $20 billion in US Treasury support with an additional $118 billion government backstop to buy Merrill Lynch.
They
failed to properly disclose employee bonuses and financial losses at
Merrill Lynch before shareholders approved the merger of the companies: $150 million settlement with the SEC.
Bank of America Illegally Foreclosed on Active Service Members’ Homes. Settlement agreement was $20 million.
Their purchase of Countrywide resulted in a loss of $65 billion to stockholders.
They paid $335 million to settle Countrywide’s housing discrimination claims.
They paid $410 million
to settle a class-action lawsuit affecting more than 13 million Bank of
America customers who accused the bank of charging excessive overdraft
fees for electronic transactions.
Bank of America moved approximately$18 trillion
worth of derivative obligations from Merrill Lynch and the BAC holding
company to the FDIC insured retail deposit division. This transfers the
risk from the bank to the taxpayers since the FDIC cannot cover this
amount.
Their executives are major donors to the president’s reelection campaign.
The president will give his acceptance speech for the Democrat nomination for president at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.
Warren Buffett injected $5 billion
into Bank of America for special considerations for stock warrants and a
6% annual return for ten years. This bank's regular personal savings
account pays 0.05% annually.
We propose the following actions to be taken immediately:- Close out any personal or business accounts with Bank of America.
- If you are a business, do not accept their debit or credit cards for purchases.
- Sell your personal stock in this bank.
- If your retirement or mutual fund owns stock in this bank, request that they divest it from their portfolios.
- Help spread this effort in any manner that you can.
- Fill out the form at this link showing what actions you took based on this project.

Responsibilities of Protection part 1
When it comes time to rebuild our society from the ashes of our national complacency, I would like to purpose the following idea for your consideration.
It is in my belief that a society based in and on personal responsibility will entail just that. It will mean doing things we may not want to, or would rather have someone else do. To begin, all citizens must be knowledgeable firearm owners. It should be more than a right, but a responsibility, one that is necessary of all. This I know is a slippery road as requirements for the common good all to easily, and inevitably in most cases fall into tyranny and tools of oppression. The demonization of the second amendment is proof of this. However, I believe that a society in which all are knowledgeable, and able to defend themselves, may counter act this problem.
As for the question of protection and enforcement with in society. I do not believe it should be a career. Instead it should be a appointment and/or a term of service that all must take in turn. Their should not be a salary, compensation maybe, but not a job with pay. Overview of all actions needs to be in the hands of the public, and not fellow enforcement officers. Just as representative government works best when one comes from the private sector, does a term of service, and returns to the private sector. So should the term in enforcement duties. Corruption is a cancer that knows all offices and positions. The best defense is a constant turn over of office holder, overseen by the public at large. So as corruption can not take or make too deep of a hold.

Thomas Paine's Common Sense
"SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher.
Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built on the ruins of the bowers of paradise. For were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform, and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest; and this he is induced to do by the same prudence which in every other case advises him out of two evils to choose the least. WHEREFORE, security being the true design and end of government, it unanswerably follows that whatever FORM thereof appears most likely to ensure it to us, with the least expence and greatest benefit, is preferable to all others..."

Thomas Paine wrote this work in regards to the far overreaching hand of the Brittish Crown. However the words are just as meaningful today, and speak to our own Gov just as strongly. It is in our communities that we can find the answer, we only have to look to ourselves.
Restoration begins with One's self.

Individualism is the strongest element of Opposition,
And is of course one of the first things the fascist and communists will attack. The necessity of a Bill of Rights among free peoples is almost universally accepted, and I agree. I could sit here and argue my belief that Thomas Jefferson was the biggest Anti-federalist of them all, but he was moved aside and sent to France when his input may very well have changed the course of this nation. We call the government in DC our Federal Government, but the truth is it is not. It is a Central Authority, and it's power, reach, and scope have grown every year of it's existence. James Madison himself in the Federalist Papers admitted as much, saying that the Constitutional government held aspects of both centralized and federal. He went on to say that a true federal government could only be accomplished through a leaguing of States, as was put forth under the Articles of Confederation.
So why am I so on this point of view? What does A Firm league of Friendship actually mean to us today? Can we just turn things around to how our system should have worked since the beginning... No we are not there yet. The mob is still asleep, though not for much longer I think. I think that if you agree with me the best thing we can do is spread these thoughts and facts. The virtue of standing on ones own feet, of allowing others to live their own lives, so you and I may live ours uninhibited by far off bureaucrats. We need to get these ideas out to as many other people as we can. Even if only one person out of a thousand ends up listening it's worth the effort. That one person may end up reaching millions. Or may raise his or her children with these ideals and they may reach more than could be imagined. The commie/fascist crowd has beat us to this by decades. They own the schools, the public officials, and the mass programing media. I have to say the radio is out of control these days. They play the same ten songs over and over all day long, in stores, elevators, and a thousand other places. If you listen to popular radio stations you may as well be tied to a chair with your eyes forced open and accept the programing. But that is a post for another day.
I can remember when I first really woke up to the fact things were terribly wrong. I remember the shattering of all the rah rah Go America feelings when that moment occurred. I love my country, I love it's founding principals(I don't say this lightly), and yet I have never really known them or lived under them. When I was child growing up in the 80's there was still some freedom left in this nation, it's gone now. When you see police officers choking 13 year olds for skateboarding, beating the elderly for little reason, or blowing away a Marine Veteran for ensuring his families safety. You know as well as I do where we are headed. I don't really believe that voting means anything or matters in the slightest. I do however believe that if we can form a new political view, if we can nurture it, and make it grow. Then perhaps when we come out the other side of the trials ahead we can start it over again, and do it in the way the founders truly intended it to be.

The Delay was longer than expected,
I apologize, My family and I recently moved to a much more rural area of sunny AZ, and just recently got internet back up. I once again apologize for the delay, and appreciate all the kind replies to my first posting. I am back now, and will be as diligent as I can be to add as much content as possible. Long Live The Resistance, Death to Tyranny.

New Anti-Federalism,
It is my hope that over the course of this blog to present to you a recipe for Freedom, Liberty, and a Fair and Just society for all in this nation. The original Anti-Federalists called it a "Firm League of Friendship." Broken down it calls for mostly autonomous states, bound together by respect and mutual benefit. One in which the Federal government plays a decidedly smaller and far far less intrusive roll in yours and my daily lives. It is a system in which you can decide what is best for your neighborhood, and not have a bureaucrat a thousand or more miles away decide what is best for you.
But wait there are strings attached. That is right it requires work and diligence on your behalf. It requires that you are honest, honorable, and awake. You can not just vote for someone and say "I did my part", and then go back to sleep for two to four years. You must be actively involved in your system, and your representatives must know they work for you. You have to make it a priority to know what bills are before your representatives, and if they are voting to benefit you or not. If they are not looking out for what is in you and your areas best interest, you must make sure your fellow citizens know and something is done about it. Treason should never be taken lightly, whether it is from pushed from the outside, or brought from with in.
"No Taxation without Representation." These words were powerful, and the conviction behind them firm. Voter turn out in 2008 was 56.8% or just a hair over half of all eligible voters. With national apathy at essentially 50% it is no wonder we find ourselves where we are today.
I choose to stand on my own two feet. I choose to be responsible for myself, my actions, and my life. I do not need, nor do I want a nurse maid to guide my life. I am Free. I am an American, I am a New Anti Federalist.
