More on the War Against Freedom

Obama's National Service Bill appears to have passed. In it are such "gems" as the following, stripping people of their civil rights:

SEC. 1304. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES AND INELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS.Section 125 (42
U.S.C. 12575) is amended to read as follows: `SEC. 125. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES
AND INELIGIBLE ORGANIZATIONS.(a) Prohibited Activities- A participant in an
approved national service position under this subtitle may not engage in the
following activities:...(2) Organizing or engaging in protests, petitions,
boycotts, or strikes.(5) Engaging in partisan political activities, or other
activities designed to influence the outcome of an election to any public
office.(7) Engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services,
providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious
instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to
religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently
devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of
religious proselytization.(10) Such other activities as the Corporation may
prohibit.



As written it appears to be voluntary but there is a section that states:

Section 6104, subsection B

(3) Whether there is an appropriate role for Federal, State, and local
governments in overcoming the issues that deter volunteerism and national
service and, if appropriate, how to expand the relationships and partnerships
between different levels of government in promoting volunteerism and national
service.
(4) Whether existing databases are effective in matching community
needs to would-be volunteers and service providers.
(5) The effect on the
Nation, on those who serve, and on the families of those who serve, if all
individuals in the United States were expected to perform national service or
were required to perform a certain amount of national service.
(6) Whether a
workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young
people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a
manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic
challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and
educational backgrounds.
(7) The need for a public service academy, a 4-year
institution that offers a federally funded undergraduate education with a focus
on training future public sector leaders.
(8) The means to develop awareness
of national service and volunteer opportunities at a young age by creating,
expanding, and promoting service options for elementary and secondary school
students, through service learning or other means, and by raising awareness of
existing incentives.
(9) The effectiveness of establishing a training
program on college campuses to recruit and educate college students for national
service.



Section 120 of the bill discusses the “Youth Engagement Zone Program” and states that “service learning” will be “a mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency.”

(2) YOUTH ENGAGEMENT ZONE- The term `youth engagement zone' means the area in
which a youth engagement zone program is carried out.
`(3) YOUTH ENGAGEMENT
ZONE PROGRAM- The term `youth engagement zone program' means a service learning
program in which members of an eligible partnership described in paragraph (4)
collaborate to provide coordinated school-based or community-based service
learning opportunities, to address a specific community challenge, for an
increasing percentage of out-of-school youth and secondary school students
served by local educational agencies where--
`(A) not less than 90 percent
of the students participate in service-learning activities as part of the
program; or
`(B) service-learning is a mandatory part of the curriculum in
all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency.



Some other things:

Rahm Emanuel in a speech said the following: “If you're on that no-fly list, your access to the right to bear arms is canceled, because you're not part of the American family. You don't deserve that right."

So he wants to strip people of their rights by simply placing them on a secret list, no trial or conviction of a felony. You can be blacklisted and lose all your rights if he gets his wish.


Obama is having volunteers sent out to get people to pledge to support Obama and his policies. Take note of the following from one of the organizers:

"We're looking for supporters," said DeHaven of Hoover, one of the event's organizers. "We're not looking for a fight. That will come later, when we have an army."

And note the following video that shows some of these people:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EglMVfUB74

It seems a lot like the start of the brown shirts of Obama (looking for a fight? While running Obama said to supporters to get in the faces of opponents). I'm sure everyone remembers for Obama calling for a national police force, as well trained and funded as the military, under his own control. Well, this doesn't sit right to me in a free Republic.

Also, that report from MIAC on militias has supposedly been retracted due to massive outcry:

http://www.news-leader.com/article/2009903270336

There are efforts underway by pro-liberty individuals and groups, such as Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty, to obtain through a state equivalent of the Freedom of Information Act to obtain the sources and other information on this report. I am almost willing to wager that the report's authors used the SPLC or ADL's radical left-wing propaganda for sources.

A left-leaning federal judge granted the Brady Campaign's request for an injunction blocking the rule allowing visitors to carry guns in National Parks:

http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=12253

This is absurd. it was nowehere near a "last minute" rule as it was in the works for months and lobbying efforts went on for years. National Forests allow people to carry firearms in accordance with state laws. Carrying a handgun concealed has no effect on the environment (target shooting and shooting wildlife is still prohibited in National Parks). A judge single-handedly took away a right protected by the Second Amendment. It will be appealed and I do believe the anti-freedom gun grabbers will lose but in the meantime it creates a mess both for the Park Service and citizens visiting parks, and puts more lives in danger by disarming people.

Hillarly Clinton and Eric Holder are trying to argue that the drug cartels in Mexico are getting their weapons from U.S. gun stores and guns hows and that we must ban "assault weapons." Well, I truly would like to know which gun stores and gun shows are selling fully automatic firearms, grenades, anti-tank weapons and so forth over the counter, as these are the weapons being used down there not semi-automatic AR's and such. I haven't even found many Class 3 dealers who will carry grenades and certain other "destructive devices" which are strictly regulated by the National Firearms Act ($200 transfer or making tax, paperwork needing approval, background check). To think these people would buy overpriced semi-autos in the U.S. when full-autos are available cheap illegally South of the border, well, that's a poor excuse. I hope enough people see through the lies and propaganda coming from this administration.

According to the Government, Libertarians are "Right-Wing Extremists" and "Terrorists"

Below is a document that recently surfaced. It originated in MO at the MO Information Analysis Center, but was sent and then posted by a MO police officer anonymously at Infowars. http://www.mshp.dps.missouri.gov/MSHPWeb/SAC/index.html From their wbesite, they say "The Missouri Statistical Analysis Center is a unit within state government responsible for providing traffic safety and criminal justice information and research services to federal, state, and local authorities as well as Missouri citizens."














The document refers to those who are concerned about their gun rights, fear gun confiscations, fear the use of the military for police, and more, are "right-wing extremists" and "terrorists" to be on guard against. Among the warning signs of these "dangerous" people are political signs, bumper stickers, etc. of candidates Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin and Bob Barr. Displaying support for the Constitution party, the Libertarian Party and the Campaign for Liberty are signs that you may be a "rightwing extremist" militia member. They have painted with a broad brush libertarians, constitutionalists, gun rights activists, militias (most of which are not at all extremists as they portray), and other people concerned with the future of liberty in this country as extremists and terrorists. Of course they begin the document with a handful of examples of violent people and attempt to associate all militia members and by extension libertarians et. al with people like Timothy McVeigh. I apologize for the poor quality when I tried to post them here, but the following are links where you can read them more clearly:

Lest any left-wingers think they are off the hook, I would also like to remind you of this document from the FBI on "terrorists." Left-wingers are just as much suspects of "terrorism" as the person who makes frequent references to the Constitution, according to this document:













This is truly chilling but we all knew the road this country was headed down when the so-called "Patriot" Act was passed. Any of us can be declared "terrorists" simply because we don't support a police state.
Now, something else I came across yesterday was the fact that after the tragic shooting in Alabama, U.S. Army soldiers were deployed in the town, seemingly in violation of Posee Comitatus, although I am on the lookout for more confirmation of this:

CT Man Wrongly Jailed by Fascist MA over Firearms

http://www.telegram.com/article/20090305/FRONTPAGENEWS/903050299

This sort of thing truly infuriates me: thug cops ignorant of the law trying to ruin a man's life. Under the FOPA (Firearm Owners' Protection Act) of 1986, a federal law, this man had every right to transport these firearms through MA from CT, since they were legal in both his starting point (CT) and his destination (ME). Of course they play the story up as though he were Osama Bin Laden, with a tiny number of common weapons and some perfectly legal body armor. The FOPA of 1986:

Title 1: State Firearms Control Assistance

Sec. 926A. Interstate
transportation of firearms

Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any
rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, any person
who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or
receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful
purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to
any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during
such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any
ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible
from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle:Provided, That in
the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver's
compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container
other than the glove compartment or console.



On top of that, even under MA state law he had a right to transport them:

Mass. General Laws

Chapter 140, Section 129C

A non-resident may possess a rifle
or shotgun in Massachu setts:

1. While hunting and in possession of a valid
hunting license.

2. While on a firing or shooting range.

3. While traveling in
or through Massachusetts if the rifle or shotgun is unloaded and enclosed in a
case.

4. While at a firearms show organized by a “regularly existing gun
collector’s club or association.”

5. If he or she has a license or permit to
possess any firearm in his or her home state, if its licensing requirements are
as stringent as those of Massachusetts, as indicated by a published list of such
states promulgated by the colonel of state police.



The charges should have been thrown out. Instead, he needs to come up with $10,000 in bail to get out of prison. And he is facing felony charges which, if he is convicted of violating them, his life will be effectively ruined. It will harm his ability to get a job or home. He won't even be able to have a single round of ammunition again. I truly, absolutely, hate thug cops who do such tyrannical acts! I hope he gets a good lawyer and beats the thugs, and I truly wish his mother would follow the advice any lawyer will give someone: shut up, and don't talk to the police.
