Seeing past the many divides that separate the people of this world, Divine America seeks to inspire others to become educated in a variety of topics they may not normally entertain. Believing that education is a power we deprive ourselves of, the team firmly believes that knowing is freedom as it opens the door to make informed choices; to believe or not to believe.
We welcome all. Freedom responsibly.

<span arial="" imes="" mso-fareast-font-family:="" new="" quot="" roman="" sans-serif="">Hello Divine readers! I know it's been a hiatus,
and not for a lack of unexposed truth and enlightenment to be told. That is not
the basis of this article, though, and I will not begin to explain that story
now. I will eventually update my bio and if you're interested you can read
there.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">Regarding this
topic, I will prelude with where you are and from where this piece’s motivation
derives. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">destructive to our inherent future--that is, the generations
to come. Our foundations for discussion at Divine America also recognizes in that violations occur on all sides of all peoples’ coins. As such,
there's no recognition within the Divine America of law and governance, you could say, a bit anarchy. There
is only respect for natural law, compassion, and blunt freedom (though, I do
try to keep my terms of a PG rating, F-bombs are very prominent in the discussion of freedom).
That said—Divine America does not seek to align itself with compliance to
man-made laws, and further, selecting a “leader” out of a pool of secret
society sinisters. There is no support to be found here for the henchman of the
state who enforce the mafia-style tactics of extortionist governments. There will be no censorship to protect you from the offenses of my two cents, and my two cents shall be unmerciful. What
that means is you're likely be offended at some point here, no matter what side
of any coin you fall on. Freedom does not concern itself with sensitivity, just
as peace does not find itself without weapons. Words are our weapons which
cannot be taken effortlessly (for now).</span></span></div>

determine how impacting those words can be, as we've seen in so many
presidencies already. <i>That </i>is what we are here to expose. <i>That </i>is
why the following is dictated to<i> (Y)our</i> President. No part was taken, or
written, to acknowledge the running candidates, or to sway readers as a means of
demonstrating our favor towards one side over the other. We <i>have </i>identified
actions of the candidates that exemplify condemnation and prohibition of
freedom, a task in which more worldly leaders are interested than we care to acknowledge.
However, if the rest of the country wants to participate in the illusive games
put on for them by the elected leaders, then so be it...knock yourselves out.
I’m just going to quietly write about it, as is my freedom to do so. Now, let's

observer throughout the progression of your role as president. From candidate
to elect, you certainly reached the hearts and minds of many. Some would even
go so far as to credit you the answer to their prayers and a messiah of sorts.
Considering how many said the same of Mr. Obama, I’m sure that does not impress
you to know. After all, who was <i>really </i>impressed with any of Obama’s
accomplishments? Those who were are questionably still free to expand their
misguided views of what is good and right for America. Like the remaining chip
that brought the Terminator back, Obamanites are with us now and forever,
threatening to reign down a plague of new age communism shrouded in rainbows
and leather and screaming about equality for the emerging 23 sexes they’re
questioning themselves to be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

zombies are no better, and (although criticism is steadily amassing against)
you are of the status influential enough to have steered that herd in a direction that
has not made America great... at all (not that it ever was, despite what the
slogan implies). America has never been great for everyone. She could be. There
are certainly examples throughout the few hundred years of her existence in
which multitudes of the cultures that make up our country have found common
ground in our coexistence and made life rewarding to explore. To say, though,
that we have ever been great enough to take our nation back to a time in which <i>you
</i>feel it was would be immensely limiting to our potential as a growing
leader among nations. Unfortunately to the globe, we stand poised like a pit bull ready for a
fight. While I dislike using such a reference as I have an affection for the
poorly reputed pups, it's fitting, because much like the behaviors of an angry
pit bull, it's directly influenced by poor upbringing. Poor 'Merica here was raised on blood shed, tears, and deceit. </span></div>

<span style= font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">But America is still young when
compared to other countries across the globe, and currently we are the spitting
image of the spoiled only-child of rich folks. It’s not just the snowflakes
crying over every little thing that offends them, or the self-absorbed capitalists and republicans (who are so far out of touch with the citizens it's amazing they took office). It’s the lack of compassion
our country has been able to discover since inception that prohibits us from
becoming the truly great America we were meant to be. Like a plague, this cruel nature has been adopted by the majority of Americans. To have compassion does
not mean to let the world walk all over us. It means to have the world respect
our nation and take example from us to make their own country
better. It is unfathomable to comprehend how we are so many “leaders” into the
growth of America, and we have yet to realize the secret sauce to inspiring our
nation and the world. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Greater America. There have been great strides in developing Global
Peace--let's not discredit that; but it pleads to know how vested you truly are
in peace, when the attitude towards our nearest neighbors is “stay out or
else!” The backlash of certain images has thankfully put a halt on separating
families, which is what inspired this letter. Unfortunately, the damages are
done to those who have already endured so much. Actions such as these beg to
question if we all truly understand the founding of this nation, and if so, why

imagined). The Earth was not made so vast in order to prohibit her creatures
from exploring it, but to encourage the migration of inhabitants to gain
experiences. Sorrowfully, the travels of some are inspired by negative
circumstances; something in which most Americans do not have a fresh take. Divine America is not oblivious to this fact.</span></div>

of becoming a true answer to the prayers of people, and a nation to be

course, it makes sense to know and identify the people coming into the country

them) as a means of “keeping our country safe” (this is what compromise looks
like). What does not seem so compromising is the lack of finally establishing a
permanent solution to the flux of incoming <i>people</i> at our southern
border. Supposing on this side of the border, we’ve forgotten that we are
dealing with <i>people</i>. It has been a time since any native-born Americans have
had to endure the kind of hardships that would force them to flee their
country. Sure, the Trump-testers with their public squalling would have
outsiders believe otherwise, but the reality is that most Americans have it
cushy enough not to want to leave the country (even over an undesirable in the
white house, but I think it's safe to say we have <i>all </i>experienced <i>that</i>).</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

ten, these facilities should be a self-maintained community, equipped to assist

are a smart man, but I fear not at all in touch with compassion for people. You
have the ability to make peace through force, but you have yet to realize the
solutions to the issues at the border. Perhaps it’s because like most, you are
not seeing the real issue. This world is so small. As such, one would imagine
the common goal of any leader upon her to be that of good-for-all. We are all

As politicians, left-wing liberals, and tyrannical Presidents contract behind closed doors to pass bills diminishing the rights of citizens and thwarting the ability to protect themselves, it is not a far stretch of any imagination the truth behind the plot of our very own government. Coupled with their the expanding interest in supporting “radical Muslim” actions and moving Syrian “refugees” into our nation, it’s even less of a stretch to say the elected leaders of America are siding up for something— and it’s not the American side they’ve chosen.<o:p></o:p></div>

In fact, despite growing effort of the awakening citizens and outcries for change across social media, the words have made no impact. The marches and protests have all failed to do what they set out to accomplish. It has consistently, and perhaps by design, been the action of proud patriots that has provided the greatest impact. Among the greatest victories of the modern patriot movement in which actions have proven to be the only effective means of response was during the Bundy Ranch standoff. The event saw true patriots come together in support of a common goal: keeping the government at bay and under control of the people as it was always intended to be.<o:p></o:p></div>

However and since then, the people of our once great nation have fallen back into a slumber— one in which griping on social media has sufficed a stand in the minds of would-be patriots crying for someone to do <i>something</i>. Now, we stand here again on the brink of a standoff with the same entities attempting to starve Americans of their rights and rape them of their property. While some have risen to accept the duty of keeping the factions of the government at bay, many among the Patriot movement have elected to withhold support. Worse, they have gone as far as to demonize the group of citizens who have placed themselves in the line of fire for a fellow American; claiming the tactics to be equally as terroristic as those which brought our country to its current state of weakness and divide.<o:p></o:p></div>

Deemed The Real Team America, a select group of leaders: Ryan Payne, Blaine Cooper, Jason Patrick, and Jon Ritzheimer, have occupied Malhuer Wildlife Refuge in Harney County, Oregon— a property owned by the people and for the people, yet failing to uphold its respective place in honoring the rights of the people it was intended to protect. Rather, this distinct group of the country’s BLM henchmen have once again made the move to push people from the property in an effort to expand their own interests. In these interests the Hammonds of Harmon County have been victimized by <i>our</i> government-- dragged through rigorous torturers for an accident that left 139 acres of burn region burned and snuffed out by the creators. Essentially a self-serving incident that saved the BLM time and money while supplying them with leverage to force the family from their lands.<br />

Instead it will be at the first shot of the henchmen and the would-be three percenters failure in supporting the very action they cried for. That leaves us at this, Patriots: on the grounds of liberty, where do you stand? If you believe this to be of little to no consequence you, allow me to propose this: whether you own property or not, the government has its hand in all of your transactions. They stand in line right above the banks. Do you truly believe that there will never come a time when the government wants what’s yours and will send its henchmen to take it from you? If you really believe it will never happen, by all means keep griping on social media— because words are really powerful. Or you can realize now, that the threat of martial law is not even feasible, and would serve the government no leg to stand on against the citizens. You can realize now, that it doesn’t benefit the BLM, DHS, or the FBI to turn the Malhuer Wildlife center into the Ruby Ridge or Waco Texas that everyone believes it will be. Rather, it’s time to stand up and recognize the power you hold as a citizen of America to rise against tyranny and redress your grievances. We the People are the strength of this nation. But we only stand that way when we stand<br />

their actions as senseless, and even <a href="http://dwardmac.pitzer.edu/Anarchist_Archives/index.html">anarchist</a>. First,
it’s necessary to acknowledge that not all of these instances involving
defiance against the state are part of an elaborate move to make asses out of
police or civilians. Equivocally, we can concede that some are indeed poor
cries for attention. Regardless, the ones that hold a firm ground in truth and
reality ought to serve – even to the newly awakening mind – as a tool of
learning and growth; whether it be what to do or what <i>not</i> to do. As liberty’s call waits for no one to be ready, no one
can simply say they will never be in a position to take such a stand. This
comes from experience, as once upon a time – and even as the writer for such
events – I never suspected I would be the one defying the overstepping of law
up close and personal. It was clear to me that I had people for that, and I was
just the writer. But as my mentors in freedom have discovered for themselves
and as I did for myself, you don’t get to pick your battle. The battle picks
you. Unfortunately, that’s something that you will likely never understand,
until it happens to you. Hopefully whatever straw breaks your back, and demands
your action will not see you dragged across the coal. While my own consequences
have yet to be decided, our dear friend has already undergone tremendous tortures
for his actions. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Daniel-Louis-Crumpton/e/B00J12JTPA/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1">Daniel
Crumpton</a> put it eloquently, but here’s my summary of his words: If you’re
not prepared to accept the burden of the consequences, it’s safer to avoid
committing the stand. Some battles come with little fines and community
service. Other opportunities mean prison time. Your willingness to tangle with
those real serious consequences should ultimately affect your actions. <o:p></o:p></div>

patriots to stop convicting one another and start showing compassion even for

each party; but Donald Trump’s presence on the Republican card certainly <i>trumps</i> the playing field—with curiosity.
With his exemplary skills showcased in his hit reality show - The Apprentice,
Trump’s familiarity with a large voting populace may prove to the Republican
advantage. Hopefully, however, he has deep enough pockets to keep the rumor
mill at bay; otherwise, the nation might realize he’s not as rich or powerful
as he illuminates himself to be.<o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Honestly, it's just a shame we didn't listen to him about Obama.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
When one reflects on the impending doom awaiting us at the
end of any cycle—be it personal or worldly—it becomes a daunting reality as to
how royally screwed we <i>really</i> are. Even
as I write this (which at first is done by hand on paper), I condemn myself for
my blessed curse. For why must words come so effortlessly when I sit with pen
and paper, yet flee at the site of a computer screen? Every decent writer
likely has the top-rated voice recognition software, I tell myself. Of course,
I do too, but like losing weight—nothing is going to happen by nonuse and
eating chocolate. Just owning the software and installing does not a page of
words create.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But just as I’ve been blessed with the skill of words, it
doesn’t extend beyond the paper. Being not the type for public speaking—or
maybe just speaking my thoughts out loud—the idea of talking to my computer has
not gone well, and therefore, I must continue to write by hand. This is great
for so many reasons, and has very much to do with the past, present, and future
traditions of our “<i>great</i>” nation,
while breaking down the notion of whether or not our military will open fire on
citizens. As the title suggests, it’s kinda longwinded. But you’ll understand,
I don’t apologize for that.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So what could be so great about writing by hand? I mean, it
takes longer, and the potential to forget what I was thinking before I get it
written down is pretty high. On top of that, once I get it all jotted down fast
enough, there’s the likely event that I can’t read half of what I wrote. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What’s so great is that, as with any art, it takes time and
focus to write something amazing—not just a blog or book, but anything people
take something from, like a life lesson, or <i>something</i>.
How’s that for ‘great with words?’ The point is, it takes a lot of love to
commit to our art—to anything—that in <o:p></o:p></div>
this fast-paced world will consume so
much of our short time here. It’s the very reason why art is transforming into
a digital monster, being used by industries such as marketing, film, and
entertainment. We are able to mass-produce digital art quickly and without real
thought or emotion, without knowing we’re really pushing out messages to the
human mind. We push words out quickly to achieve a number of “likes” or “shares”
and we don’t have a real concern for what the words say or mean. In most cases,
we share things that we think are pretty awesome, pretty cute, pretty sexy, or
pretty disturbing. And if it’s not that it’s advertising. By slowing down and
focusing on a message, writing it down first is like my “think before I speak”
moment. In the immediacy of updating Facebook and twitter of exactly what we’re
thinking, or doing, at this exact moment, this filter has been lost—along with
our ability to proofread. So guilty. <br />

Whether we admit to it or not, it is a sort of
desensitization to <i>real-life</i>
scenarios—a screen, or veil we cast over ourselves that says “it’s okay to say
this because the majority of people are saying it and a lot of people will like
it.” An hour from now, you’ll either have sparked the daily Facebook piss-off that
gets a lot of comments of varied ideas, or will have passed with little more
than a few “amens.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Often, the person who spends time focusing and putting love
into their art reap the most beneficial experiences. It’s great that I can’t be
bought into another product of the mass-producing agenda, because it gives me
time to think and rethink. Is whatever I’m putting out expressing my full
potential in whatever it is I do? <o:p></o:p></div>

Are you among the vast majority who’s
plugged into the digital revolution? <o:p></o:p></div>
Many don’t like the word “revolution”
which seems silly to me. The human race has terms to identify all kinds of
things and then shies away from using those terms out of fear or offense. The
truth is we label things because it’s easier than getting to know exactly what
they are. It’s easier to formulate an idea with a label attached to it and
simply identify things by that label. But let’s not go there just yet.<br />

Not many are blessed with the ability to educate others (or
know-how for that matter). After four years of homeschooling, I will say it
hasn’t always been fun or easy, but most blessings never are. Anyway the
opportunity has afforded me the chance to educate myself in areas I never would
have again. For instance history; strangely, I love history, but it’s written
so dully that I often fall asleep before I ever really absorb what I’m reading.
Now that the world is going to hell and a hand basket and I have to teach my
kids about history (because the public school system failed), it’s real easy to
see where we went wrong. To make a long story longer, homeschooling demanded my
love and focus on my kids and help me to identify a truth that every revolution—while
seemingly good—has pulled us further and further away from what it appears
(more and more every day) we are supposed to be.<o:p></o:p></div>

have done nothing but find easier ways and solutions to everyday situations. We
left the thinking up to inventors and enjoy the luxury of being able to sit
back with our feet up for just a few minutes longer. The result of such
movements has been the populace we have today, full of couch potatoes and
keyboard warriors talking about the very revolution that they’ll not take part
in, that is—unless upon a very specific set of terms, and on a weekend because
they have work on Monday. <o:p></o:p></div>

Effectively, we’ve exchanged the concept of “love for one’s
country” to “love for status.” It’s that overwhelming sense of pride and
loyalty one feels to his nation (as it has been so kind and rewarding to him)
that inspires him to take arms against all enemies foreign and domestic, who
would threaten the traditions and values we uphold most. Traditions as simple as
the pen to the paper. But we don’t have a love for country.<o:p></o:p></div>

We implemented, just as we did everywhere else—a system of
hierarchy. At every level of the populace hierarchy based on value of one’s
assets became the lay of the land. We appointed others to hold authority over
us—we who were all created equal and free (wo)men-- as if vested with power
from a higher being, these people somehow held the prerequisites to hold such
authority over us. Were they gods? Cause gods are the only beings to which we give
power over ourselves. They were not gods… but they lead us to believe only they
could reach God. <o:p></o:p></div>

And because property and material possessions determine the
worth of a person, we have textiles beaming mass made art to display on your
appearance exactly who you are and what you stand for. People and companies
profit in the billions while the world swarms in a cesspool of vile thoughts
and outlets to express them immediately and without thought and emotion. That’s
a bit judgmental. Though, considering we have the freedom of speech, it could
be written off as just a difference of opinion that doesn’t matter, because it
really doesn’t hurt anyone.<o:p></o:p></div>

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your type) we
have become too much of competitive nation for all the wrong reasons. We’ve
made no advancements out of a loving, true desire to make a difference in
anyone’s life, but our own. How often have we initiated something with the
thinking that <i>this is going to pay off</i>?
We’ve been conditioned to call pay raises, bonuses, and benefits <i>motivators</i>; but the reality is, they are
simply distractions that pull us further away from the very things they don’t
want us to see. When you start researching and seeking things on this level,
you do so out of love, and you begin to pick up on a pattern of violations
against the loving nature of our being since the dawn of man. You understand
why they outlawed certain music, and why they promote sex versus love. As there
has been no greater study than that of the behavior of man, it’s simply not
surprising to see where we are and what we’re headed towards if we continue on
this path.<o:p></o:p></div>

reality is that it’s occurring every day and you don’t even realize it. Even
the people who think themselves “awake” generally have no real <o:p></o:p></div>
comprehension of
just how deep the proverbial “matrix” goes. It’s when you get to this point
that you see truth in the symbols left by our forefathers, lurking in holy
texts, and great works by those who lived in a day where you either loved your
country or you didn’t; because you either dropped what you were doing (whether
you were a skilled soldier, a priest, or a farmer) and fought for what you
believed in; or you carried on in hopes of escaping the fallout.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s when you follow these trails that you see, not only
have you been believing in the illusion of truth, but that you’re still
knowingly contributing to it; that you either <i>get ready for the fight or you carry on</i>. The fight or fight flight
response is another conditioning strengthened by our competitive nature. For
many, this factor is not tested very much because maybe you live a “simple”
life. However, escalations such as the kind we witnessed at Bundy Ranch, where
the Constitution literally hung by a thread, and the nation was unaware of the
brink of chaos they were breaching; leave me wondering about similar events on
a global scale that we are unaware of.<o:p></o:p></div>

technology that the military has had for undoubtedly 20 years already, you
might understand that technology is way more advanced than your average person
is aware of. Sorry to bust your bubble, but the engineers of the military don’t
just have a spark of technological genius and then decide to share with the
civilian population without extensive years of research. If were getting it, it’s
likely because the military has mastered and learned to control with it. Why do
you think a video simulation is such a useful tool in training? Think of how
perfected video gaming graphics and even other sensory related gimmicks have
been added to what at one point would’ve been kids playing baseball outside,
but is now time spent killing each other on hack-em-up video games? Don’t get
me wrong, I love these games and tend to conquer sometimes, but I’m pretty
savvy on my inability to stand the sight of real blood without passing out to
know the difference between video world and what I like to call “reality.”<o:p></o:p></div>

However, even that is only because I’m a stay-at-home mom in
the sweet heart of Georgia, who for the most part doesn’t experience a lot of
gunfights or high-speed chases. Then again—you don’t see me playing games like
the Sims or Second Life, either. Similar video games or simulations are used in
training soldiers. Why do you suppose that is? Well since most of the past two
generations have grown up on video games, training using video simulators make
a big impact while effectively severing the emotional bond for people by
conveniently labeling enemies. <o:p></o:p></div>

For soldiers though, the video simulators become reality.

that most
soldiers act out of trained response to a stimulus. Afterwards is when they’ll
be taken out of that environment and left with their inner self to answer to.
The faces of those they engaged tend to have a haunting affect to any who let
their mind wander uncontrollably. Why do you think there is medication that
affects brain chemicals? Because what you can’t create on your own, can be
provided for you… at a cost. Your continued support of the American government.<br />

The inner self can be a strong adversary to face. It’s when
you start questioning if you really <i>love</i>
what you did, or if you loved the status. It’s this thinking that leads me to
wonder, what exactly do we have to worry about with our own soldiers, and
police, FBI, etc.… We’ve already been exposed to some of their conditioning and
we see some are very aware of love of the job and love of the money, but how
many would still refrain from pulling the trigger when the simulation is in

Now, most of us are cheering and touting off with ‘<i>Merica</i>!’not really knowing what it is we’re
seeing. While any amount of research could probably dig up the details behind
this video and why it would be in the hands of civilians, there will be
questions as to what the soldiers doing the shooting felt in regard. Again, don’t
think I don’t support our military. I do. I just know how they are used.<o:p></o:p></div>

Now, I swore I wouldn’t touch on the sniper movie—and I won’t.
Haven’t seen it, and I won’t. I won’t see it because I won’t participate with the
machines conditioning me for and against warfare and controlling my feelings
for my fellow man. What I will say, I have seen the propaganda for and against Chris
Kyle. I don’t question whether he is a hero or not because that’s not for me to
judge. Much of my knowledge of the guy came from one video. See below.<o:p></o:p></div>

It got a lot of support while trying—I think—to be
anti-Kyle. I wasn’t formulating an opinion on Kyle or the movie as much as I
was attempting to get a general perception of military guys that could
assassinate people—literally, look down the scope, possibly look into the eyes
of their victim and pull the trigger. Most of my knowledge on this topic stems
only from talking to former soldiers who’ve done these things. Most are
suffering from PTSD, and some handle it better than others. They all have ways
of dealing and talking or not talking about it, but every one of them will
attest to doing it for the love of their country, for the people they knew or their
children, and always for “America’s freedom.” Some of them are struggling with
grasping the consequences of their “skill.” The ability to pull the trigger.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I don’t ask or push questions, I just let them talk. I
listen without making judgment and mostly trying to decide if I should try to
comfort or just listen. In the end, I always come to the question that many
have asked more often than not in the recent years. These conversations led me
to this understanding of what we’re really looking at when we ask ourselves if
our own military will fire on us. Being no scientist or doctor of any credible
nature, I can only offer opinions based on things I’ve seen and read. In
particular, this video of Chris Kyle confirms my thoughts further when the
interviewee explained that this soldier <i>loved</i>
what he did and there was <i>no target
off-limits—woman, child—it did not matter</i>. It is mentioned that he <i>loved</i> his terrifying nickname and
attributed to the successful death of 160 “terrorists.”<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
To all of this I say, even the reaper didn’t “love” his job,
because being the judge and executioner is a duty for no man. But it could be a
<i>job</i>. And thanks to having a standing
army… It is a job. The training for this job is simple—Kill the enemy. Do you
think soldiers are trained to research why this is their enemy? When a bomber
is called to coordinates, do you suppose the pilot has much to say about the
inhabitants he’ll be unloading on? Does the gravity of the simulated event sink
in, or has the emotion been trained out of these men and women?<o:p></o:p></div>

Will a soldier pulled a trigger against Americans? Would it
not depend on the government’s label of the American? If that label is “enemy”
do you think you show up any differently on the screen than the white blobs
getting into the truck? Do you think you’re faced appears any different to your enemy when
placed between the hairs of his scope? Well, if there’s people <i>loving</i> this job, then my guess is that
it doesn’t. These guys don’t get paid to do research, they get paid to kill and
kill well, and for the most part people like you and me will never hear of it.
So <i>enemies</i> are killed (Go ‘Merica!) and
life goes on unaware of whatever impending doom was going to happen.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
As a nation losing more and more of our roots to the plague
of damnation, I wonder what would spark America’s rising at this point? With a
paid for military no one could truly grasp what it meant to fight for freedom.
Until the expansion of the long-range missiles, the notion of a threat to our
freedom relied on the enemy at least being on our soil. (There’s only one that
I know of currently). How convenient that we created the very ability to build
such devices. It’s even better that we have the ability to launch them with the
push of a button, because kings don’t fight amongst themselves, they fight at
the citizens. Much like the number of likes and shares you enjoy and compete
for, so do the powers that sit on the throne at a desk with all kinds of
buttons. The only difference is they get their numbers in casualties. And no
one in the leading position on the screen is going to stop and ask why or what
they are winning in the end, because it’s just a matter of who’s the best. So
what happens when the enemy—the “terrorist” are us, and “love” exists only for
the status?<o:p></o:p></div>

It’s a difficult reality to linger on, but it makes me glad
I write. I may not enjoy the research process for the time it consumes, but I
love what I learned and what I can share with others. Although it takes time,
it’s something I love to do and feel is worth investing my time in, although I
don’t get paid. As writing is the skill I’ve been given to express my love, I
go through the lengthy process of learning about my topic and the message that
needs to be conveyed. In doing so, I’ve been exposed to a variety of material
for and against every topic I addressed. For that, I gain knowledge and am capable
of thinking circles around any boxes. The omni-perspective opens me to all
kinds of insight. <o:p></o:p></div>

What other traditions will be allowed to sink into the mortal
abyss of unheeded warnings from history? I’m happy that I won’t let this one
die. I don’t live in confusion of what “love” will drive us to do, and I don’t
live in a delusional sense that it’s my duty to do anything, but love for my
fellow man and give him what I can out of perfect love and trust. Since my
words are all I have to give, I hope you will love them all the same, and if
you will love them, take them to understand what they mean to you. Love for
country or love for status? Which are you conditioned for? Just remember, all

Will a US soldier pull the trigger against American enemy?
Yes, and he’ll feel bad about it later. Time to untrain your mind, and stop
living in the illusion that you mean anything to them. They don’t look at
individual civilian casualties, they look at overall the damage, and you are
just a number. In enemy in the crosshairs.<o:p></o:p></div>

It is both a curse and the most rewarding blessing. However, every once in a blue moon, even the most iconoclastic of individuals must conform to the ritualistic endeavors of trend. That being said, this particular post takes a slightly different turn. For as it is a time for most to bid farewell to the passing year and praise with cheer the coming of the new year, it is customary for us to reflect on the things we have experienced, the lessons we have learned, and the tragedies and blessings we have endured from the passing of time.<br />
<br />
In not so much the orthodox fashion as others are inclined to write, Divine America will, too, comply with this New Year ritual in our own non-compliant way. Like so many others, Divine America entered into the alternative media arena with a vision of not only spreading truth, but inspiring community, unity, and solution to the everyday issues we were seeing in our nation. The hopes of not only raising awareness, but giving a clear definition to how to change it fueled our mission.<br />
<br />
Well, as we sit staring at sixteen (16) denied requests for information from agencies including local and abroad police departments, the FBI, and SEC to name a few; one can't help but feel that we have failed at our mission.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Al9JJFhPp5I/VKQpNklNPiI/AAAAAAAACCE/gvgACtGgVzc/s1600/Big-Media-is-Most-Powerful-Entity-On-Earth-Malcolm-X-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Al9JJFhPp5I/VKQpNklNPiI/AAAAAAAACCE/gvgACtGgVzc/s1600/Big-Media-is-Most-Powerful-Entity-On-Earth-Malcolm-X-1.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a>Of course, this is not entirely true, and our habits for the melodramatics may be kicking in. Assured by the dozens of emails, messages, and comments left for us, we know that our purpose is serving many. However, the massive amount of evidence in the form of denied FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests reminds us of three things. First, the Obama administration is failing horrendously with it's green efforts, because we certainly don't require two pages of verbiage to tell us "no." We understood that in the digital formats, so please consider the trees being wasted. Second, and more importantly, freedom of information is apparently a freedom only granted to government agencies. And finally, the most concerning of all, we are reminded that the works of history are maintained by those in power.<br />
<br />
Even the history of America--as tattered as it still stands--see rewrites scripted by those of biased views, and holding the highest seats of control within (and wearily enough, without) our nation. While alternative media outlets have been on the rise and strive to uncover truth, we have witnessed the blatant hand of those in power to prevail in evanescing that truth. In everything from false flags and cover-ups, to distractions for obvious cover-ups; the elite have conducted attacks on the citizens and those who would dare expose them. Essentially, what we blog, they block; what we stream, they steal to be spun in such ways to make us look bad; what we record, they corrupt. As there is no end to what they can and will do to thwart the exposure of truth, the list will go on.<br />
<br />
Sadly, it is not us who will suffer on account of failed diligence. For it will not be in our time that the proverbial "shit" hits the fan--at least not enough for our generation to do something about it. However, the generation of our children and grandchildren are likely to be the recipients of the very turmoils of which most of us speak. Especially if children attend the indoctrination camps--uhh, public schools--in which history (including the words of the constitution) is twisted to convey compliance with and dependency on the government; our children and theirs will never know what it meant to stand for anything.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BrPdfNl8pYo/VKQpOJWnW9I/AAAAAAAACBo/3DoAPyIeOCE/s1600/gallery-smalltea2-cropped-proto-custom_8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BrPdfNl8pYo/VKQpOJWnW9I/AAAAAAAACBo/3DoAPyIeOCE/s1600/gallery-smalltea2-cropped-proto-custom_8.jpg" /></a>There is a solution to this that many have embraced the boldness to call for, yet more refuse to accept. Let's not beat around the bush; that solution is war. Both a horrifying and glorious truth, it has become quite clear that our leaders neither love us or fear us, thusly surmising us to this: we must make them do one of the other, and let's be honest--they are not going to love us if they can control us more effortlessly. Therefore, as it was the failed duty of our forefathers, the burden now falls upon us--the last generation that will stand and fight. That battle, however, relies on us finding unity. Not unity in our beliefs as individuals, but in the knowledge and awareness of what true freedom is, and how to conduct it within our communities.<br />

<br />
The curse: <i>divided we fall</i>, has never been so evident as it is today. We see divide in all things. Such quarrels see a nation turning against itself and leaning closer into the path of destruction and chaos, and we are the only ones who can change that, as the "savior" lies within. That change only comes, though, when we realize we are not each others enemies, but rather brothers and sisters in a battle for our true freedom. To deny this is only to lie to oneself. See, as a white lower-middle class-man, I am not at war with my black brothers and sisters of even the lowest or highest classes. I am at war with those who have lead my brethren to believe they deserve or cannot amount to more than what is bestowed upon them. I am at war with those in the position of leaders who masterfully concoct destructive forces within the black community that keep them from prevailing, as opposed to building them up.<br />
<br />

As a woman and mother, I am not at war with my brothers and sisters of the working or non-working class. I am at war with those who have forced the ideology of being a champion of parenting and full-time worker without concern for the imbalance it lends towards either duty. For these are the very seeds that sprout into a hostile, uneducated, and lackluster community and nation.<br />
<br />
It makes me neither a racists, or anti-woman to say such things, unless one is uneducated enough to understand the truth behind these words. In the fight to end these divisive strategies, one must recognize the strategists behind them. While we should ultimately find blame within ourselves for allowing these elitists to rise to power, we must also acknowledge our power and responsibility to put an end to their rule. Unfortunately, with our voting system corrupted we can be sure there is only one option left, and we needn't fear it, only embrace it as truth as our ancestors once did.<br />
<br />

In moving into the new year, let us be reminded of the tattered histories, which we will never forget, as they have brought us to this point. Let us embrace unity in such a way that it creates a bond between us that might never be broken again; so that we might conquer our enemies and restore the promises of our nation. We can have the Divine America that was intended for us. We need only to acknowledge the simple truth that it will not come easily, but if we are vigilant in our pursuit it will come, and our children and grandchildren will be better for it.<br />
<br />
As we strive to awaken others, Divine America re-spawns into the new year with a stronger purpose and mission to redefine a United America; one which will never again fall to the persuasion of the corrupt elite. To our brothers and sisters, we can have what was promised to us, and as we enter this New Year let us never forget that.<br />

Once upon a time, people within a community worked to support each other. They exchanged goods and services, and communicated regularly. When war came upon a people, <i>everyone</i> who was able participated in the fight. As we became less focused on the well-being of the whole, and more focused on the individual (fueled by greed and selfishness) needs, we began pulling away from this system. Largely on account of reducing our own personal responsibilities, people opted to pay taxes to support those who would fight in their stead. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">While this ideology is archaic to say the least, the mentality has evolved and is the root of much destruction and chaos in our country (well, honestly the world, but let’s stayfocused on America). As we’ve “progressed” our nation, and taken every action imaginable to deflect personal responsibility; individuality and the means to neglect ones environment have arisen and acted as direct contributions towards disunity, crime, and corruption. As we’ve seen in past stories covered by Divine America, the collective people have sacrificed liberty in the pursuit of this hand-fed <i>security</i>. In our desire to retain as little responsibility as possible for our communities, it’s no wonder there is a presumption of a rising “police state.” Our failure in conducting the very checks and balances to prevent such a state is the reaping of the seeds <i>we’ve</i> sown. You got what you paid for. Now, on account of a couple of bad seeds and an immensely, negatively-fueled media, there’s another line in the sand created by the elite, and crossed by the citizens; and it’s used to increase disharmony and paint a clear target on the backs of the very people we’ve paid to “protect” us. Did we forget that a uniform does not a hero make? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Having the displeasure of witnessing this shredding of the American culture and society, we can see the crippling of the hearts of the patriots, and a sense of immobility, despair, and defeat. And with the surmounting lines being drawn, a mentality is developed, and wars inspired. As a result, more <i>people</i> will be harmed by the fight or flight response that officers are forced to embrace when they encounter citizens. The people will then cry for more legislation and punishment towards officers. Every discharge of a weapon in response to criminal activity will come under question, and we will eventually not even have those few who will stand in our defense locally, because we’ve pitted the duty of the job against them, and sided with justice for the obvious criminal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Regardless, the cry for further laws to keep us “safe” has been by far the most asinine measure we’ve taken in search of our individual happiness; and has ultimately been the largest cost the citizens have paid towards securing our own well-being. Of course, when blinded by the new concept of what well-being truly is--a state of finances--it should come as no surprise that we sit in the cesspool of corruption and greed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">As we reflect over the year we’ve had at Divine America, we are forced to recall these corruptions in action. Taken aback to <a href="http://divineamerica.blogspot.com/2014/08/mark-of-beast.html">our dear friend “Martin,”</a> we see one man’s individual fight for a liberty that has been perverted by those who would use it to control and extort people. In his plea to the courts to be free of a mandated identity procured by a piece of paper and upheld by a plastic card, our dear friend sought to remind the people of the Lord’s words and warning. Not a far stretch from original pagan-man’s understanding of the power behind knowing another man’s name, “Martin” restates, “I AM THAT I AM,” a man with the right to travel freely with his property and without the threat of extortion from the henchmen of the state who blindly follow orders. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

In fact, we <i>demanded</i> identity be more than a term one is provided as a reference. And why? Accountability. There’s proof behind a document after all, and having that proof enables us to sue the pants off each other to achieve our financial well-being. Unfortunately, to get these papers one must commit to redefining their liberties by subjecting themselves to the laws of man—a series of rules and compliances one must live by in exchange for protection from the thugs of the state in <i>addition</i> to the thugs of the citizenry. Under these rules, personal responsibility is not required; and accountability becomes an effortless pursuit of fraudulence that allows for unconstitutional subjections to unwanted extortions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

On account of those individuals and to update you on our dear friend’s situation; the Man alleged to be “Martin P-E-T-R-O-S-K-Y” (for the umpteenth time)—despite numerous attempts to pay restitution to the person known as “STATE”—has been found guilty of criminal activity, simply for driving without a tag. When considering the corrupt state of affairs being carried out by the <a href="http://www.ajc.com/news/news/judge-in-dekalb-corruption-case-sends-resignation-/njBNZ/">Dekalb County Court</a> , the lack of knowledge regarding their job description, the strategy utilized in <a href="http://divineamerica.blogspot.com/2014/09/does-my-first-amendment-scare-you.html">trampling the first amendment</a>, and—as Divine America hascome to learn in the latest interview with “Martin”—the apparent power of Judge Wong to act and speak for the defendant; it leaves little to the imagination as to how our dear friend will be sentenced. With initial settlements proffering time in jail (up to three years), probation, and fines surmounting thousands of dollars, it begs to question not only if people truly believe the lack of a piece of paper warrants such response, but if our dear friend’s family deserves to suffer as much as the court would like them to. “Martin” being the sole provider for his family would certainly witness the destruction of his family’s well-being. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

But, despite having the acceptable forms of all those protections and accountabilities, a passive decision to stand against such extortions (just by not handing it over) ultimately contributed to our dear friend’s brutal attack, kidnapping, and imprisonment at the hands of thugs. While some may consider his actions intolerable, our dear friend did this and stands by his consequences not for himself, but for the good of the people who would otherwise submit to these indignities. In hopes of enlightening people to the liberties we’ve allowed to slip away, “Martin” subjected himself to the dangers of disregarding the state’s rules of paperwork. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Patriots such as former Oathkeeper member, Bill Looman—who has dedicated himself to the fight for liberty not only in his service as Marine, but as a loyal servant and spokesman of our Nation’s citizens—is one that has been met with ridicule and endured personal sacrifice on scales unimaginable to the average Joe. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

It is apparent these efforts have fallen on deaf ears, but who even among the so-called three percent patriots has truly committed themselves in such ways? Who among us has already demonstrated the tuck-tail and turn-back strategy that elected leaders have come to expect and to which has contributed to the ridicule of which the patriot movement?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Effectively, the backlash by which the patriot movement has been reduced begs to have questions answered that not many are ready or willing to ask themselves. How much longer are you willing to stand by watching the nation destroyed by the elite who would define for us what actions are legal and illegal? Will you wait for it to come to your front door? Will you “bug out” to the woods and practice all that awesome primitive survival stuff you’ve working on? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">It’s time for truth. What wars may come, will come. Most likely, not in our time—especially if we continue to sit and wait. Our children, though, and their children can count on the fight being entirely removed from their ideologies. They will be the bearers of the burdens to which we neglected to respond appropriately. So as you sit there, waiting for the so-called “shit to hit the fan” on your doorstep or in your backyard; know this: that’s not going to happen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">However, as you continue to embrace and push for further legislation to keep you safe, realize you are only dooming the future of this country. You are just as guilty as those who would write such laws that will eventually see this nation crumble. Our failure now will be the consequence for which our children will suffer. And when the time comes and you are put before your creator, consider what your judgment will be for failing to do your part in preserving liberty. There is no cost greater than life, and it’s one only a few are willing to pay. Would you? We all have to die some time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<o:p> </o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It goes without saying; the U.S. government is nothing short of muscle. With ABC agencies such as the FBI, NSA, DOJ, ATF, and IRS just to name a few, the government has a strong arm to manage compliance with all the wonderful legislation they write. Of course, each agency is stamped with the ideals of being for the good of the people, and adding security in an otherwise insecure world. For example, the function of the SEC (Securities and Exchange Committee), is to protect investors by maintaining the integrity of the stock market. Such a feat is accomplished by investigating and charging those who would jeopardize the system which is based on a sort of honor code.</span></div>

stock based on the same advantages and disadvantages. When people have
advantages (such as insider information) they have a tendency to play the market
to their benefit, which holds the high probability of hurting someone else.
Since there are more ways than one to commit fraud while treating stocks, the
SEC was implemented to add security.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, that sounds good, doesn’t it? That is, if such authority is not abused. What happens when a corrupt administration uses it <a href="http://www.sec.gov/news/press/2009/2009-249.htm" target="_blank">strongarms</a> to target people, organizations, and even industries? The
entire nation has heard as such events (among the many other <a href="http://www.whitehousedossier.com/2013/08/01/obama-dozen-scandals-counting/" target="_blank">scandals of the Obama administration</a>) involving ABC
agencies, but no one really takes the time to look into the cases. A big part
of that can be attributed to a misplaced sense of justice. Most people think
the rich are rich because of their well-played hand in something deceitful.
While certain actions on Wall Street have certainly echoed a disdainful taste

people by proposing masterful designs of desalinization and nuclear power plants
in places like China and Idaho. While many have their opinions regarding
nuclear energy, I’m not here to sway your beliefs. However, I can recommend
some reading material that may educate you in the truth about nuclear energy.
Rather, Mr. Gillespie’s situation reminds us just how powerful and out of
control these arms of our government have become. It also serves to remind us
of that no amount of good intention goes without punishment from those with a
catastrophic agenda. What else would you call the amount of destruction wreaked
upon citizens, companies, and industries by just one arm of the government’s
enforcers? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Consider the fact that under Obama’s administration the

it’s done so by the very people paid to protect the integrity of their agency. As
a result, when simple public records requests are made the ABC agency gets to
pull any number of rabbits out of its hat of excuses as to why they will not be
providing the information requested. Perhaps during <a href="http://jonathanturley.org/2011/08/21/securities-and-exchange-commission-accused-of-shredding-investigation-documents-for-nearly-twenty-years/" target="_blank">another check and balance audit</a> those documents will
simply disappear. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Either way, we are forced to make our own inferences based on the massive amount of complaints made against the SEC and the accounts of those who step forward in support of Mr. Gillispie. People like Thomas Doss have made it their personal mission to bring awareness to this case. And yet others, like Corey St. Claire, who had the privilege of being a trainer and close confidant to Mr. Gillispie, who are eager to tell everything they know about the man they describe as genuine and trustworthy, in an effort to clear his good name of the shadow of doubt cast upon it by the SEC. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Multiple attempts have been made to obtain records from the SEC,
the SEC lawyer, and the FBI. All have thus far been fruitless, save for some
laughable email. In looking at the track record of both the SEC and the Obama
Regiment-- I mean, administration… I guess I have to base a judgment on the
honor system. That means, interviews with inside sources which paint a clear
picture of the SEC’s intentions hold more water than a lack of supporting
evidence and a refusal to cooperate with media. And exactly what are the SEC’s
intentions?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Don Gillispie’s case makes that pretty evident as well. With the allegations claiming Mr. Gillespie was raising funds for a sort of pump-and-dump, one would think the SEC would be giving the investors back what they paid in; at least considering the SEC was collecting that much and then some from Gillispie. In fact, after calculating “fines payable to the US treasury” plus interest, Mr. Gillispie is set to lose his company, his credibility, and over $10 million in fines. Suffice it to say the outlook for his future has been cast in the shadow of uncertainty due to an unfounded attack launched by Snake River Alliance and backed up by the SEC and the FBI. Despite lacking evidence, the judgment has been made in a civil court. Though his unwilling-to-go-down-without-a-fight nature compels Mr. Gillispie to keep fighting, the power of this wallet it has been crippled by the blows of the SEC. Against the unlimited resources of the SEC, even a victory only hurts the taxpayer. Rather, Gillispie has been advised to stand down against the army Obama has amassed—not only against citizens, but upon various industries—and he tells of many lives a wasting away in federal prisons on account of false allegations made by the agencies. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Of course, we are quickly reminded of the Obama’s <a href="http://action.americancommitment.org/6675/waroncoalcom-stop-obamas-war-on-coal/" target="_blank">war on coal</a> and his clean air campaign, which saw massive attacks launched against various energy manufacturers and <a href="http://www.governing.com/gov-data/energy-environment/coal-plants-to-shut-down-from-EPA-regulations.html" target="_blank">coal plants</a>; as well as the financial backing of many <a href="http://dailysignal.com/2012/10/18/president-obamas-taxpayer-backed-green-energy-failures/" target="_blank">failed green energy companies</a> and programs. In fact, the administration’s plans we are told will contribute to <a href="http://www.deseretnews.com/article/765654359/Big-power-plant-pollution-cuts-are-ordered.html?pg=all" target="_blank">America’s next energy crisis</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In spite of all the tragedy Don Gillispie has faced in the hopes of using his power for good – or in this case, providing affordable power for all – we are promised a light, energized by Mr. Gillispie’s own revolutionary design. While the SEC vows to make the remainder of Don’s fiscal life hell, he will rest happily knowing there was nothing they could do to stop people from having a choice and affordable energy. Though, he explains it wasn’t for a lack of trying. Among the many that have come and continue to come under attack by any wing of the government, Blue Castle was just another energy manufacturer on their list. Having witnessed the countless barrages of cases filed against companies by the SEC, FBI, and IRS to name a few; investors have become keen to the tactics that not only threaten the integrity of the stock market, but the well-being of the company.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, in an initiative to build another plant using Don’s
design, Blue Castle CEO Aaron Tilton came <a href="http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/politics/53385458-90/blue-castle-company-decision.html.csp" target="_blank">under fire from the SEC</a> for investments made by the LeadDog.
Fortunately, and despite their best efforts, Mr. Tilton disassociated from LeadDog
and clarified the misunderstanding that he had any idea where investors make
their money. This did not prevent <a href="http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_7365878" target="_blank">mass mediafrom painting the CEO with a negative image</a>. In their coverage of
the story, Aaron Tilton is described as a “predictably solid Republican” with
anti-gay and anti-environment agendas, yet a man with which many still wish to
invest. But we digress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Don Gillispie is just one of the many victims of the administration’s army against citizens. He wasn’t the first, and by far he won’t be the last, but he will be one less that went silently. Not because he cares for himself, but because he cares for people. What no one thinks about when they’re busy writing off Don because of his upper-class status, is the fact that he is being fined in a civil court despite a lack of evidence, without a jury, and with lawyers telling him to accept. What people don’t realize is that there are repercussions when we failed to put an end to such abuse of authority before it’s too late. If we fail to stop this sort of crime here, it’s only a matter of time before it becomes a problem for the lower class (although, a recent account tells us it may already be there). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The US government is nothing short of thugs to enforce compliance with the laws they create to keep their agenda progressing. Obama’s agenda includes pumping money into a global warming campaign that has been proven a hoax. So while hopes of a brighter future are tickled by the Republican control, we’ve already heard them back down on promises that won them the elections. Unfortunately, there’s two more years of this administration with more than $17 trillion in debt, and Obama still trying to convince us all that we need to pump more money into clean air in such <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/11/12/us-china-usa-climatechange-idUSKCN0IW07Z20141112" target="_blank">deals with China</a>. With billions of dollars still being contracted out for foreign investments, two things become clear: one, money needs to come from somewhere (and publicly traded energy companies make great targets because they are often owned by conservatives and funded by investors with deep pockets); and two, if the administration intends to create an economic collapse, this is certainly the way to go about doing it. And maybe that’s more on target than you think.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">By far, America is home to some of the most lazy and pathetic people in the world (to say I have an arsenal of memes depicting exactly how lazy and pathetic we can be is an understatement, which is contradictory in itself, because the creation of such things is debatably lazy and pathetic, wouldn’t you say? Hmm). No offense, but history be told, we were once a people of passion, contribution, hard work, and innovation. Suffice it to say, our inventions have brought us closer and closer to lives of happiness having nothing more to do than push buttons and watch pretty colors pass us by. Maybe I exaggerate, but the path we’re on right now certainly looks like one of sitting on our asses pushing buttons while sipping on our fourth cup of coffee by 10 a.m. Regardless, such aspirations in futuristic technology and a growth in industry saw America alive and rejuvenated with purpose; with a mission to achieve their piece of the American dream. Like the Renaissance of our nation, everyone had a job to do. Now, as the multitude of Americans move with their faces buried in the screen of this technology—unimpressed, unaware of the world around them, and uninterested in making eye contact with an actual living soul—we’ve hit a lull in our nation’s innovations; and worst of all, we’ve allowed the droning out and stagnation of people.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">From a tanked out economy lacking employment opportunities, many Americans are sitting back in stretchy pants and stained t-shirts, waiting for the next new thing to spark (what they confuse for) “life” into them. Be it the latest iPhone or drama on any <i>reality</i> show, people have become content
to do nothing in a world that requires nothing of them. It’s been a massive
shift from the energetic and always working Americans that built this great
country. There’s even a song commemorating just <i>how</i> lazy we’d actually <i>like</i>
to be! It’s really no wonder why so many are on drugs (legal or otherwise).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In an effort to dissuade my own laziness, and
use my power for good, I have often found myself contemplating ways in which I
could re-inspire people to discover their own American dreams through my
writing. Telling folks that they’re lazy and pathetic is only one part of what
I’ve come up with so far; so, good news…that’s out of the way. Truthfully, the
real answer came to me last year; though, due to (you guessed it) laziness, was
only half-heartedly acted upon. I presume for my lack of aggressive action, I
received a series of firm reminders throughout the year, and then some more
subtle ones. </span><br />

Here was your average guy (not so average to me, though, as he reminded me a lot of my dad), asking me to cover the story his emerging tactical gear business, and the business of his good friend, </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/trae.johnson" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Trae Johnson</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">, who owns and operates a firing range in Florida. The story coverage was more of an expression of gratitude to those who helped John in his emergence, but it fit into what I was working on. Plus, as a dabbler of arts (and considerably ‘old-fashioned’ in values), there are two things I adore: craftsmanship and mentorship. That said, when John explained to me that he made custom shot gun gear and Trae was a certified NRA instructor that taught firearms handling to people of all ages, you could say my attention was caught. I didn’t know then, but it was as though a beacon had been set out when I decided to write in a way that celebrated America, and Americans doing the very things that depict true American values. In particular, a focus on living the American dream was a mission worth taking on in a country that had been swarmed with news of chaos and negativity. </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/john.grasta.9" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">John Grasta</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> therefore became the reminder that there is a mission to accomplish, and he and his friends were living it daily. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Grasta introduced me to some his closest friends; though, he credits them as family and counts his blessings to have each and every one of them in his corner. Little did I know then, I was being introduced to the who’s who of tactical gear manufacturing, firearms and combat trainers. Having never seen the rough side of a stuffed teddy bear, the idea of having to interview people who could kill a person with one hand (maybe I’m exaggerating—I didn’t ask) was a bit daunting. Not to mention, I expected to hear an onslaught of macho egotism. What I got was an eye-opening experience, a boost of hope, and a mystery solved. That about makes it a good time to say it gets long-winded from here on out, as there’s just not enough I can say about the people I’ve come to know. But if you’re up for it, cozy up to meet a badass comradery of guys allied in a common mission to use their powers for good (which is kind of a theme around here). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As mentioned, John wanted to tell me about his growing business and how it came to be with the aid of great friends and family. By any stretch of imagination, I didn’t think his “great friends” would include world renowned trainers such as <a href="https://www.facebook.com/l.d.stoney.stone" target="_blank">L.D.“Stoney” Stone</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/james.urban.10" target="_blank">James Urban</a> of <a href="http://www.urbantactical.org/" target="_blank">Urban Tactical</a>. Move over Jason Statham, sayonara Jet Li and Jackie Chan! You guys got moves, but these guys were the real deal. Working closely with John to put his <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/262206120652726/" target="_blank">FrankenGrasta</a> shot gun gear to the test, and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/trae.johnson" target="_blank">Trae Johnson</a> with <a href="http://www.aresfirearmstraining.com/" target="_blank">Ares Firearms Training</a> range; the men of <a href="http://www.urbantactical.org/" target="_blank">Urban Tactical</a> also put on an excellent series of training courses in everything from hand-to-hand combat to (for lack of better words) that stuff you thought only happened in movies. It’s probably best if I just show you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What better place to run quality checks and drills than on Ares’ own 100 acre range, nestled comfortably in middle Florida’s forests and swamps. On the land preserved by the Johnson family for many years, Trae, John, and the members of <a href="http://www.urbantactical.org/" target="_blank">Urban Tactical</a> serve up opportunities for learning, gaining experience, and having a downright good time in a comfortable learning environment. Taking firearms instruction to all new levels, Trae and the instructors of <a href="http://www.aresfirearmstraining.com/" target="_blank">Ares Firearms</a> range conduct
classes day and night to ensure your ability doesn’t end just cause the lights

With a fondness for education of the ‘good-ole-days’ Ares instructors not only offer instruction for every member of the family, but they provide safe play areas for children who aren’t participating in the training—a bonus that opens the door for parents to get the training they need. Hoping to alleviate many similar barriers preventing people from obtaining necessary training, Trae hints to Divine America that future growth intends to include more solutions to these types of hurdles. While tackling the endeavors will bring their own struggles, Trae admits he’s blessed to have overcome many obstacles in the past, with great friends to keep him motivated; and future difficulties will be met all the same. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It comes as no surprise, the “no gain without pain” attitude runs deep within these men. But, when you keep friends like <a href="http://blunttrama.ning.com/" target="_blank">Larry “Stoney” Stone</a>—one of the many passionate instructors of <a href="http://www.urbantactical.org/" target="_blank">Urban Tactical</a> who also happens to carry the title of a Martial Arts Grand Master—well, there’s a certain amount of excuses that become invalidated…like, all of them. Stoney, or “Yoda” as he was introduced to me, was the epitome of a guy that never had anything handed to him, and certainly had nothing come easy. Born with a neurological disability that would undergo many misdiagnoses and surgeries to correct, but ultimately affected Stoney’s ability to walk; the word “can’t” doesn’t exist in his vocabulary. Captured in his story <u><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Live-Now-Possibilities-Stoney-Stone/dp/1468545876" target="_blank">Live Now</a></u>, Stoney relives the good, the bad, and the ugly of a life that led him to pursue martial arts despite the many doctors, who swore he couldn’t due to his condition <i>Charcot-Marie-Tooth Neuropathy</i>. His disability, which made even the simple act of walking a challenge for Stoney, inspired his appreciation for the close friends, family, and mentors who’ve come into his life. He credits them for having never left him behind, when it would have been so easy to do so, and showing him patience in his training as he learned to conquer his challenges. After years of training, Stoney became a mentor, and using the patience and understanding he learned from those who showed it to him, he opened his own school of martial arts, the Ishi Do Dojo (which continues to produce Black Belt champions). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Though he’s been inducted into the World Grand Master Black Belt Hall of Fame, Stoney is humble and reminds me the story is not about the success he’s achieved, but through it, the lives of the people he’s been able to impact. When asked how he felt about the nickname Yoda, he admits he’s no super hero, but knows “being the leader of men is a great responsibility,” and above all else, he feels blessed to have friends who would think of him like that. As he works with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/james.urban.10" target="_blank">James Urban</a> and other members of the <a href="http://www.urbantactical.org/" target="_blank">Urban Tactical</a> training team to inspire people in the methods of awareness and self-defense, it’s no doubt that each lesson is met with a wealth of knowledge, skills, and passion from people looking to use their powers for good.</span></div>

Soon, what started as something akin to a <u>Fight Club</u> scene blossomed into a
brotherhood, and soon became a mission to provide training to those who need it
most. And this is how James came to know John. From the day James and John met,
a bond was formed that has only been described to me as deeper than a
brotherhood. Family. Put simply, “Family that will stand up and protect each
other, support each other, and be there always.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Truer words were never spoken. Bad things happen in all our lives, but family toughs it out. While James hopes his students and <i>family</i> are never faced with the need to use these skills, he says at least “they will have the tools to survive a violent encounter against someone attempting to harm them.” Acknowledging that the people he instructs are the very people who go out to defend our freedom—making them just as much family—James and the <a href="http://www.urbantactical.org/" target="_blank">Urban Tactical</a> team vow a dedication to continue learning advanced techniques and passing on their skills and knowledge to others. Traveling the globe and conducting training seminars, James and the </span><a href="http://www.urbantactical.org/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Urban Tactical</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> team promise a future</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> with new products and services stating, “the skies the limit!”when it comes to advancing a community of people who are aware and capable of defending themselves.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In its many different forms, the theme of
blessings and gratitude doesn’t always mean struggle, though; so says Tom
Williford of <a href="http://www.3ttactical.com/" target="_blank">3T Tactical</a> and close
friend of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/john.grasta.9" target="_blank">John Grasta</a>. Tom isn’t bragging when he says he’s always been blessed. He only means to pass on that which he feels came easily to him. Finding himself in a position, again, to help out a friend, Tom initially hoped to bring John on as a sales representative of <a href="http://www.3ttactical.com/" target="_blank">3T Tactical</a>, but soon realized there was more to John. See, Tom manufactures custom add-ons for shot guns such as the S.T.U.D. (Shot gun Tactical Ultra-illumination Device), breachers, and extension tubes; and John manufactures custom shot gun gear such as side saddles, harnesses, and leg rigs for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/262206120652726/" target="_blank">FrankenGrasta</a>. They are essentially each other’s peanut butter and jelly—the mac n’ cheese of custom shot gun gear if you would. </span></div>

by the sharing of business responsibility with his Daughter, Tom gets to help
John with design, quality, and testing the products. As firm supporters of
America’s economic progress, the men work towards 100 percent in-house
manufacturing, which would open the door for many new jobs, and growth opportunities.
In these troubling times, a little bit of opportunity is the one blessing many
could use right now. It’s one I’ve been granted when I was asked to write about
a few good men (and women).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To say the least, John certainly has a lengthy list of people who’ve come together to achieve a few goals. In essence forming a brotherhood of support that served individual American dreams, these gentlemen have been a pleasant reminder that chasing the dream is not always easy. But, as Stoney says, “It’s when you think you can’t take any more, when you think you have nothing left to give; that’s when it’s most important for you to keep pushing for your goal.” Enduring the pain—be it physical, or that which we sacrifice to succeed—marks the legacy we leave behind. After having the pleasure of speaking with these gentlemen, it occurred to me that the most successful legacy to leave behind is also the answer to the seemingly elusive American dream. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The revolution of this country, for most, identified the ingredients of the American dream: innovation, industry, hard work, and loyalty. Unfortunately, two things happened. First, the inventions sought only to simplify, entertain, and comfort people. Secondly, people stopped working to help others. As a result, creativity and innovation hit its peak, and people became bored and even expectant of the most futuristic concepts. Incapacitated and weakened by the lights and colors of the devices we use to distract us from life, people became lazy and uninterested in the well-being of their community. If the American dream hadn’t been lost, it was certainly misconstrued by a negligent concept that only the inherently rich, and well-to-do got the lucky breaks. Where to start with the many things wrong with that statement! Not to downplay the contribution of hard work and innovation in fueling a revolution, but when it comes to the ingredients of the American dream, nothing makes a better tasting slice of pie than knowing it came by doing something good for someone else. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Many of us are quite
familiar with the story of Bundy Ranch-in which the Bundy family’s property was
raided and became a pivotal peg in America’s timeline. As sensational as that moment was and
continues to be for the American people, it was not the first time a citizen
has been attacked by the sitting administration in an attempt to sabotage
progress, and it won’t be the last time.</div>

A former founder and
CEO of alternative Energy Manufacturing, found himself in a similar standoff
with ABC agencies. However, the “war tactics” were slightly different, and did
not result in the support of militias nationwide coming to his defense. Though,
much of the battle has been carried out in courtrooms, it cost one Man his
company and good name, and cost the country thousands of jobs with better

that we live in a time where the mere mention of a nuclear <i>anything</i> is taboo and met with such aggressive resistance.

In my own
researching, it has been discovered that there are humanitarians among the
industry. In light of the vile
portrayals of owners and builders of these power plants, this writer has
learned there’s actually hearts in them that beat solely to do good in this
world. That’s the kind of person <a href="http://thisweekinnuclear.com/?p=114" target="_blank">Don Gillipsie</a> was when he initiated his plans, and it’s who he continues to be to
this day. <o:p></o:p></div>

experience in nuclear engineering, Mr. Gillipsie sought to use his power for
good, literally. Partnered with Allies across the world, they worked to create
a massive <a href="http://www.alternateenergyholdings.com/news/03172011.aspx" target="_blank">nuclear desalinization plant to produce fresh water</a>. Imagine the
impact of creating the largest device known to man to create more fresh water
in areas where water is a commodity. Not
only that, think of the thousands of jobs necessary to keep such a plant in
operation. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s not all Don
did, either—by far. When even the state of Idaho saw the benefits and potential
for homing a power plant, Mr. Gillipsie was the man bringing viable plans and a
wealth of knowledge to the town of Grand View.
Unfortunately, the liberal minded terror drivers—fearing nuclear
everything—began launching unfounded claims against the company and the man
behind its establishment. Despite having<a href="http://www.mountainhomenews.com/story/1220533.html" target="_blank"> investors and funding to cover 100% ofthe $3.5 billion project</a>, anti–nuclear opponents of the Snake River Alliance,
did everything they could to not only prevent the takeoff of the plant, but to
destroy the credibility of the man behind it.
When that didn’t work, anti-nukers found new hope for destroying Mr. Gillispie's dreams by <a href="http://www.nucleartownhall.com/blog/anti-nuclear-activists-discover-new-tactic-call-in-the-sec/" target="_blank">calling in their new BFFs--the SEC</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>

Although the
previous attack by members of the Snake River Alliance was based on false
opinions, the <a href="http://www.boiseweekly.com/CityDesk/archives/2011/07/14/sec-files-new-charges-against-nuke-plant-developer" target="_blank">Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)</a> took the reins. Using all the powers at their disposal,
investigations were launched in cooperation with the FBI and IRS against Mr.
Gillipsie and his investors. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Regardless of having
never produced a shred of evidence to support their claims, you would be
surprised what having your home busted into by feds will do to dissuade investors.
They didn’t stop with just raiding just Mr. Gillipsie’s home either. Bound and
determined to find <i>something</i> that
would support their allegations, the feds raided the homes of other investors
as well.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As one would think
Don Gillipsie was involved in some serious criminal business. So what were the allegations? Well, in an effort to destroy the
establishment of a power plant in Idaho, hundreds of anonymous claims were made
against Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc. for fraud. Basically, because the company was publicly
traded, the easiest way to chase away investors and ruin the potential future
efforts led anti-nukers to file false complaints suggesting the company’s
leaders were pumping and dumping stock. Though, the ABC agencies involved have
yet to the find or provide any evidence supporting those complaints, the SEC
has been held up Mr. Gillipsie and construction of the plant in court
delays. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In an effort to save
the company and investors further harm, Mr. Gillipsie has <a href="http://boiseweekly.com/CityDesk/archives/2012/11/16/aehi-ceo-don-gillispie-resigns" target="_blank">since stepped down from his position as CEO of Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc</a>. However, if you think that was enough to
deter the SEC from continuing their attacks, you are far from familiar with the
SEC and this administration. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Being the
well-intended man he is, Don Gillipsie has a massive support team in his
corner. From the investors who were

courts involved for their side. Rest assured, as soon as we get their side it
will be presented. However, you can probably tell that this is just another
attempt to perish the progression of our country under the misguided efforts of
those in power. As the administration
continues pushing their “environmental” agenda, we see more and more land being
seized, coal plants being shut down, and goodhearted companies destroyed. If you haven’t realized yet why there is this
attack, it’s time to start being more aware.

attacking Don in an effort to generate funding for their own energy agendas.
Further, we will delve into the future of energy production and discover the

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No doubt when great
writers, George Orwell and Aldous Huxley, were writing their inspirational
masterpieces regarding our future, they missed this generation’s coming. With
all fairness, Mr. Huxley still has 526 years to make prophecy out of his <u>Brave
New World</u>. However, perhaps their work serves more of a warning than our
English teacher professed to know, or care.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Though, 1984 had
some interesting events to write home about, we didn’t see exactly what Mr.
Orwell was trying to show us. Of course, we may have been too distracted by our
war with Syria and Lebanon. But I digress. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the things
that came about during 1984 included the expansion of the personal computer
with the first graphical user interface. Although, similar means of distractions,
like the television, were already in existence, the personal computer was the
doorway into getting into peoples’ minds; and thus advanced the capabilities of
brainwashing programs. We don’t call them by that, though, we call it good
marketing. So let’s give Mr. Orwell credit where credit is due-he really nailed
it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our demise
was not served as promised in 1984, but perhaps somehow the date still marks
significant leads into the escalated version we see today. With the scale
tipped in favor of our oppressors, we see a government label on everything; a
grab for personal weapons; eyes in our business; hands in our health records
(despite a proven track for incompetence time and time again); and our rights
slowly being stripped away. The result has led the majority to comply in hopes
of avoiding conflicts with the state—which in and of itself is rather a
humorous concept that indicates, when the state feels violated (even if the
violation is none at all), it may violate you back. Here’s the thing, the state
gets a ton of representatives to literally and figuratively kick your ass (as
my dear friend learned the hard way). But again, stay focused.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NwzFXyxUlXo/VA9i8moSSBI/AAAAAAAABpk/EJ-TNjhhuKU/s1600/Obstructing-Identification.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NwzFXyxUlXo/VA9i8moSSBI/AAAAAAAABpk/EJ-TNjhhuKU/s1600/Obstructing-Identification.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here’s an example:
you receive a ticket for not wearing your seat belt (well, hellloooo officer). Now,you didn’t harm anyone
by not wearing your seat belt. But according to the ticket, you harmed the
state. Literally, the state feels violated by your decision, and the only way
to make the state feel better is with some of your hard earned dollars.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So why comply?
Because it’s easier. You don’t have to miss work to go to court; they have an
online feature so you can pay with your credit card; and let’s be honest, you
knew the “law” and you broke it, so might as well, bend over and grab your
ankles, right? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So what happens when
you follow all the rules, you comply with the demands, and the desired result
is still not achieved? When the code generators and their enforcers decide that
the liberties are no longer extended to you, even though you did everything
right, you are faced with a decision. You have to decide if you will sit down,
shut up, and take whatever they give you; or, if you will remain vigilant and
say “no, I’m not complying with this.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you may be aware
(that is, if you listened to the phone conversation between staff of the Dekalb
County Courthouse in Georgia – it’s provided below if you missed it), I was
recently faced with this decision when I was denied my first amendment in
Dekalb. Despite following the rules and submitting a request to exercise this
liberty, members of the Dekalb county courthouse staff ignored my request. When
I called to find out what was taking so long, i was first told, such a request was never received. After that it was made clear that no one knew
what their job was and they never had to perform it before. The end result was that the request
was flat out denied.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, I complied. I
did not record the case. In fact, I didn’t even go. Actually, I got caught at
home nursing the sick baby, but that’s trivial. With plenty of time to reflect
on what had occurred, it came to this… We (as citizens) are told <i>if we are not doing anything wrong, we have
nothing to hide</i>—to which many citizens abide by and even coerce others to
comply with in an effort to dispel security threats and aid in creating a
puppies and kittens utopia. These are the people Mr. Orwell and Mr. Huxley were
warning us about.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

heeded their warnings; and, just as we knew big brother would be used against
us, we </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">have learned to use it for us. Just as we have been convinced to comply
with rules that depreciate our privacy, on account of security; our
constitution holds that our public servants are always under the scrutiny of
the people. We are private citizens until we enter the courtroom; why is it
that the proceedings within are forbidden from the eyes of outsiders, unless
provided by the court’s reporter? While every citizen should be upset with this
notion, we’re far from done.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Though I gave my
best effort in getting the news out there that this courthouse doesn’t believe
in the first amendment and did not wish recording to take place; someone did
not get the message. Unfortunately for him, the judge was not pleased, and the
proverbially hammer began its descent as the fearful court gave an immediate
response of charges, detainment, and confiscation of the gentleman’s property. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am at a loss to
understand why these folks are so terrified of the first amendment. If they’re
not doing anything wrong in the public courtroom, they should have nothing
hide. Of course, based on our research, it’s more likely they are afraid of
being caught not knowing what their job is. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The good news is, some footage did come out of the courtroom before the broadcast was cut off. Here's one of the highlights. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's our understanding that felony charges were threatened for further filming, but that didn't stop Divine America from getting an exclusive; and if you think the fun
stops there, it actually gets better.<o:p></o:p></span>

make the date in person, I’m happy to say that my imposter had no conflict in
schedule. If you’re confused, imagine how the innocent women sitting beside my
dear friend felt when the judge accused her of being me. While I am completely
flattered by the judge’s assumption that I could be credited with coordinating
some effort to disrupt his court; I am more blown away by the judge’s
acknowledgment of receiving my request, and his desire to point an identifying
finger at some unsuspecting woman in order to hold someone accountable. I hope
she let the judge know that, too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Especially in this

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last time I
addressed you from a biblical sense. This time, I’m taking a different approach
and teaching you a little something about me. As many of you know, I’m a witch.
I do not hide this fact, and I hope it doesn’t scare or offend any of you
(cause it doesn’t change). With that out of the way, let’s get back on track.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When in fear, the
mighty will point an accusing finger—one we’ve seen throughout history that has
led to the torture, imprisonment, burning, hanging, drowning, and beheading of
many—simply for being different in the eyes of their beholder. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CpkF0BMQE0U/VA9kYwukGjI/AAAAAAAABp8/Oga5c5hQQNA/s1600/finger-pointing.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CpkF0BMQE0U/VA9kYwukGjI/AAAAAAAABp8/Oga5c5hQQNA/s1600/finger-pointing.gif" height="196" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now, one of the many
symbols recognized by most withes is the power of the pointed finger—a tool </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">capable of transference of energy and power unto an object or person of
choosing. The natural tool-the finger- may be replaced or represented by a
variety of other objects such as the wand, or athame (that’s like a small knife
for those of you who are unfamiliar). In court, the judge’s gavel is that very
tool—transferring judgment upon its victim. So when the judge makes a judgment
and points the conceptual finger at someone—accusing them of an identity—it
becomes clearly evident the extent to which these courts will go in order to
hold someone accountable for holding them accountable. Whew, that was a
mouthful.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">More and more our
rights—especially our first amendment—are being distorted and violated by
authorities who feel it should be contained in “First Amendment Zones.” In some
cases, rights are completely prohibited. If not for people like Mr. Santelli, these zones would be all we knew. Then it would be only a matter of time before we
are required to sign waivers to participate in even the so-called free-speech
zones. I suppose, as long as you don’t exercise you first amendment beyond
those boundaries, you’ll stay out of jail, or in this case prison. Or you could
stop doing nothing, and play by their rules by sending in your own
request to record at the next court date (which is tentatively scheduled for
October 10). If that’s not your cup of tea, simply being present is enough to
show your support of our rights. It’s when we amass in support of one that we
decide to stand against wrongful abuse of all. When we stop the courts from
violating the constitution, we stop them from violating citizens and
communities. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In light of the recent travesties circulating in the media
regarding the Ferguson, MO case, and after heavy amounts of consideration as to
the response (if any) Divine America would take; I thought it necessary to
clarify the position and ideas supported here. In particular, and as a
multi-topic blog, clarification needed to be made as to the awareness of and
position on law enforcement officers (LEO), human rights, and the rise of the
police state, and how it could potentially be fixed—for lack of a better word.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As more lights are shined on incidents involving people
being shot by police, it may often appear that there is only a negative
perspective held against officers of the state. People have themselves
convinced that EVERY person in a leading seat and every LEO behind the badge is
corrupt. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Clearly, this is not the case. Just as in any other group or
society, there are good and bad people. As the author here, I can tell you that
any time there is an opportunity to shine a positive light on individuals in
these positions, I want to share it. Because there actually are some very
honorable, committed, and compassionate heroes among them. While I do this
personally, the site may have been neglected to express these ideas. That sort
of news does not travel far in our world of drama and hate-lovers. If you have

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is unfortunate at times that even we collectivize the

have the clear understanding for the “good-cop” “bad-cop” distinctions, but on
the other hand, there’s many among those “good-cops” who are “guilty” of
silence. They allow the perversion of their unit by maintaining a code of
silence to protect these “bad-cops” or their jobs.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a job to some. Think about that. What is a job to
you? It’s something I <i>have</i> to do to

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I
did not become an officer because I believe in the constitution, and I don’t

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Simply put, if you didn’t join the ranks of an officer to
serve and protect people, then being an officer probably isn’t the <i>right</i> “job” for you. Don’t get me wrong,
I appreciate all who step up to take the position, but it’s a difficult job. It’s
made more difficult by the unconstitutional things officers are <b><i><u>forced</u></i></b>
to do when <i>they’re just doing their “job.”</i>
No one denies that. But, it requires mental and physical fortitude, sometimes
beyond imaginable to the average person. More importantly, it requires
compassion for the people you’re supposed to be protecting and serving.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

in on, but I see that I had to), we heard officers refer to people as
“animals.” Agree or not, police were meant to <b><u>serve and protect</u></b>. With that polluted mentality and
perception of people, it’s likely that officer approaches all situations
similarly: negatively.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">responsible for the protecting of their own communities and human rights. At
some point, we decided we decided we could pay someone else to do the dirty job
of cleaning up our streets, and guaranteeing our personal safety. All we had to
do was comply with the very laws we demanded to “protect” people from
themselves and others. The rest of us could rest easy because we now had
employees on the job. </span><br />

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f__qoVH99x0/U-qEI3eOWfI/AAAAAAAABdo/o1_WTmIzY6I/s1600/moral-relativism.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f__qoVH99x0/U-qEI3eOWfI/AAAAAAAABdo/o1_WTmIzY6I/s1600/moral-relativism.jpg" height="219" width="320" /></a></div>
Morals and ethics exist in us all. However, the influence of these morals and ethics may be based upon religious beliefs, law, common sense, culture, or the personal opinions of others. This variety of influence is what leads to the rise of ethical relativism: a theory which indicates that the rules of morals and ethics are virtually undefined. Instead, the concepts of ethical relativism reason that the variances of morals from culture to culture and person to person are based on the majority rule and what is considered to be normal within the society.<br />
<br />
We've talked about this before in terms of mob rule laws and personal responsibility. To further demonstrate this theory in terms that may matter more to this audience, I will use the current corrupted state of affairs among police officers.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XgLg-J7H4FU/U-qE5R3tPTI/AAAAAAAABd4/7ez-NbUPJkM/s1600/corrupt-police.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XgLg-J7H4FU/U-qE5R3tPTI/AAAAAAAABd4/7ez-NbUPJkM/s1600/corrupt-police.jpg" height="200" width="148" /></a>A few stories have already been highlighted by Divine America with regards to the unjust privileges bestowed upon those who wear the badge. At this time, the idea of law enforcement is synonymous with corruption. More and more, we are witnessing not singular acts by individual police, but a trend in the job description whereby the majority of all officers are either guilty of the action, or guilty of inaction. Quite surprisingly, police corruption is wide spread- not only through America - but among foreign nations as well. It goes without saying that the majority of civilian people expect corruption of all sorts from authority figures.<br />
<br />
While this is the norm for police officials in many foreign nations, I would point out that so is civilian brutality of the police. Yea, in other countries, people police their police. Some countries. Not all. See for yourself.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Police departments of America have a subculture of their own in which a secret code known as the Blue Code of Silence defines the normalcy of this renegade behavior. The Blue Code of Silence is the unwritten rule among police that prohibits officers from reporting the wrong doings of fellow officers. This code forgives an officer’s looking the other way while behavior unbecoming of a police officer is conducted (Meade, 2011). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NSohaBvXp8Y/U-qE5ah_LDI/AAAAAAAABdw/IfAdP6zuhzo/s1600/raw.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NSohaBvXp8Y/U-qE5ah_LDI/AAAAAAAABdw/IfAdP6zuhzo/s1600/raw.jpeg" height="304" width="320" /></a>Arguably, the “Blue Shield,” to which it is also commonly referred, was secretly designed to allow officers to carry out “justice” without risk. In most cases, officers would knowingly support false testimony, induce false confessions, or cover up brutality in order to convict known felons, convey the appearance of justice, or avoid demerit (Raab, 1993). While this apparently typical behavior is not one in which the civilian public may agree with, it is certainly proven to be the accepted behavior among a multitude of police departments across America. In fact, several police chiefs across the nation have been found guilty of hiring officers based on the likeliness of their condoning and partaking in this behavior (Raab, 1993).</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Depending on who you ask, the idea of the normality of this immoral act is one which is both encouraged and chastised. Those who accept this behavior as normal and acceptable are generally those who expect justice at any cost. In fact, these people would rather see someone punished for a crime over no one. In most cases, these people may not care for the truth in the case so much as they care for the appearance of a solved case. After all, a solved crime means fewer criminals on the street. These are the very people who will argue that the police have a difficult job.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, people don't like being extorted. Imagine, if police didn't extort people, how much easier their job would be. Imagine, if police actually "served" and "protected" instead of just enforced the [unconstitutional] laws, how much less dangerous their job would be. So yes, their job is dangerous, but it doesn't have to be as dangerous as it is.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6dECPxEPYrQ/U-qHs6YhTaI/AAAAAAAABeM/Fz_OEylkv4A/s1600/ethcku.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6dECPxEPYrQ/U-qHs6YhTaI/AAAAAAAABeM/Fz_OEylkv4A/s1600/ethcku.jpg" height="320" width="210" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Others feel as though police officers should exemplify the most moral, ethical, and integral people of a society; in which case, the waiving of their integrity is shameful no matter what it accomplishes (Ezeikiel, 2007). Interestingly enough, these officers are intended to be servants of the people - essentially hired for the people by....not the people? I don't know about you, but I've never had the opportunity to interview any of the officers that sought a position protecting me. Perhaps we the people should be part of that. It would give us the opportunity to inquire exactly how the individual intends to uphold the constitution.<br />
<br />
But, that's all responsibility. And when we fail to take it, we get officers with mindsets, like this<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/12/michael-brown-protests_n_5672163.html" target="_blank"> fine upstanding and protected officer of law</a>, who thinks people mad over a murder makes <i>them </i>the animals. And I digress. Sorry. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Unfortunately, more and more we are seeing the Blue Code of Silence used to protect officers while taking part in crimes that are only a means of benefit to themselves. Without a doubt, there is a certain heightened ability to “get away” with crime when you are on the staff of those who are intended to "war against" crime. When police officers use their authoritative position to engage in drug deals and protection scandals there ceases to be any appearances of justice (Ezeikiel, 2007).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Because the nature of their corruption can put "bad guys" where they belong and be used to satisfy personal gains, corruption in police officers can be viewed as bad and good. There is no simple good or bad answer, which is the same idea behind ethical relativism: what is moral to some is immoral to others (Rosenstand, 2011). The fortunate knowledge in this case is that the majority will always believe that corruption in police is unacceptable. However, when the corrupt behavior serves its intended purpose of locking up bad guys, it is more readily accepted or overlooked even by the majority society.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In America, ethical relativism makes great impacts on law, voting, education, and much more within a community. For instance, since the inception of the United States people from various countries have flocked here. With them they brought many things, but more importantly, brought their cultural morals. For this reason, America has had to establish a standard of ethical living, and in most cases, a law to protect the majority opinion of morals and ethics.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gChOnC32_VA/U-qINUHNOgI/AAAAAAAABeU/rOsmoIO6vkY/s1600/honour-killing1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gChOnC32_VA/U-qINUHNOgI/AAAAAAAABeU/rOsmoIO6vkY/s1600/honour-killing1.jpg" height="155" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For example, in cultures outside of America, the act of honor-killing is perceived as the right of a family to kill another family member who has brought dishonor to the family (Shingledecker, 2012). There exists today a large amount of stories in American news like the one of Noor al-Maleki, whose father ran her down in his jeep, killing her as a means of restoring honor to his family. Though this behavior was acceptable to his Muslim community, it was not acceptable by American cultural standard, and Faleh al-Maleki, father of the victim was sentenced to life in prison (Labi, 2011).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
However, as we see more and more foreign movement to America, these very standards are being threatened. I would say this is a digression of our topic, but seeing as how those with a badge are already getting away with such crimes, I wonder how truly close we are to the society controlled entirely by vicious killers with the manpower (and artillery) to accomplish their mission.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WnllLbnNddU/U-qE5WiQ4wI/AAAAAAAABd0/rWtyPWy2HQs/s1600/hold-police-accountable.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: left;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WnllLbnNddU/U-qE5WiQ4wI/AAAAAAAABd0/rWtyPWy2HQs/s1600/hold-police-accountable.jpg" height="320" width="203" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Unfortunately, ethical relativism still demands that people formulate a side of moral standards to which they should adhere. I think most of this audience would agree that officers of the state at all levels should be held accountable for their actions, just as any citizen would. After all, not even someone wearing a badge is above the law.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sites such as PoliceWatch.us and CopBlock on Facebook, are designed to bring attention to the corrupt activities of police; but are quickly shut down and what information they put out still provides no means of preventing the behavior.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In order to stop the rise of the police state, the citizens must take action to get these officers in line. It is our duty to remind them what taking an oath is about. Acting in a legally protected manner to bring attention to the inappropriate conduct of law enforcement officers, the people can bring justice where it needs to be placed - even if that means arresting an officer of the law. When we stop turning a blind eye to the problems, they might actually get fixed, and our nation is in great need of repair these days.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The ideas of ethical relativism provide an easy excuse for people to ignore moral issues that may not immediately affect them. In America, we may ignore immoral actions if they do not break the law, or if they do not directly involve ourselves. Ethical relativism is not a solution to limiting or preventing unethical behavior. It is a validation for turning a blind eye to behavior that is considered inappropriate by those who have slightly more integrity. However, silence is just an unforgiving. As long as officers of the law are responsible for policing their own actions, and protected by the shield, they will remain the largest known organization of crime; and we the people will continue to be extorted for whatever reasons they deem worthy.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For many, though, this mindset is not chosen, but
elected for us at birth by our parents. Essentially selling our children to the
government most parents indoctrinate their children over the years and ingrain
the details of the child’s contract with the state. Until an age when children
are identified as being able to assume the full responsibility of their
contract, the society impresses the rules and extortions to which they are
expected to adhere.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This contract established between your parents and
the government might not appear so obvious at first, but it is the mark of a beast that was
bestowed upon most at birth. With this mark, you can enjoy limited liberties,
so long as you are not found in violation of rules. You can go to school, get a
job, get other permission slips, get married, and receive all kinds of
different perks and benefits. However, this mark also means, you will pay when
we tell you to pay. And if you can’t pay, we’ll attach it to your name and
number in such a way that you will never be completely free of what you “owe”
simply for existing. By the way…you will comply, or else. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m talking about
the identifying data that is provided to you at birth – a social security card,
a birth certificate… a soon-to-be RFID chip, or maybe a barcode. You do <i>not</i> have to have these things by your
natural born right; you <i>need</i> them
however, if you wish to enjoy <i>any</i>
liberty in this country. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

contract? Somewhere along the road people stopped taking personal responsibility
from upholding sovereignty of the being. They complied with an idea that they
needed to exchange freedom for a name and number that provided “permission” to pursue
life, liberty, and happiness. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Of course, who could blame folks for complying. The
native and pagans all knew and taught about the power of the name. Even the
bible refers to the identification of beings as giving power over oneself.
However, when met with the “or else” portion of that comply demand, it seemed
rather sensible to just go with it.</span><br />

outside of Atlanta this past June. A dear friend was travelling home in a

declined to present his driver’s license on the argument that he was not

and pursued to forcefully drag my dear friend from the safety of his car. He
was chained at the wrists, and kidnapped to a fortified facility for days,

their response to not having your permission slips? The report indicates the

<div style="text-align: left;">
To those of you following the Roots of Damnation series, please forgive my interrupting the thread; however, I did recently receive notification of something that required immediate attention. As lovers of liberty, I knew there'd be no better audience to help me get the message out there, that <b style="text-decoration: underline;">ENOUGH IS ENOUGH</b>.</div>
</div>
<br />
It's unfortunate that I have to admit that it takes people being personally affected before they will do ANYTHING. Perhaps that's why this took precedence over the series. Because this time, the violation of liberty came too close to home.<br />
<br />
As a contributor to other sites, and a believer in the mission of unity across the nation, I often find myself working with teams of people. The people become like family - open to the ugly things about one another without the harsh criticism because some cosmic or blood-like bond shared. How would you feel if the members of <i>your </i>team or the extension of their ACTUAL family came under attack from the very things you speak against?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ajc.com/news/news/report-officer-involved-shooting-in-henry-county/ngnJ7/" target="_blank">Here's the story</a>. Read it, cause from here out, I'm assuming you did. ;)<br />
<br />
The woman in the story happens to be a team member's cousin. Poetic isn't it? Now, that wasn't the only reason for my involvement in this case. Previously, the team and I put Henry County PD under the spotlight for pulling firearms on little boys for building tree houses. It seemed it was time to look deeper into the department.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Here's the media release Henry County Police Department released in regards to this case<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As a member of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/fightforfreedomneversleeps" target="_blank">The Fight for Freedom Never Sleeps</a> team, this was looking to be another mission for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OperationSimpleRequest" target="_blank">Operation Simple Request</a> (OSR). Further research was conducted to determine the validity of the situation. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Per the instructions of OSR, evidence was obtained that painted a clearer picture--not only of what's going on in Henry County, but the state of affairs across the nation. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Listen closely to the calls for help Lori Knowles makes to the only people she KNOWS can be there in minutes to HELP her. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;">
Henry County Police Department identified the call of Lori Knowles as a "911 Hang Up - Unknown Trouble." After multiple failed attempts to communicate her request for help for a possible overdose of medication, the dispatcher assumes the problem and reason for the call.<br />
In less than an hour, Henry County Police Officers would forcefully enter the home of Lori Knowles, determine her as the threat, and open fire on the woman; ultimately leading to her death. </blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/TIa-Enr-mqQ" width="420"></iframe></div>
<br />
I can clearly hear the woman beg for help in the first call, but let's see how her second attempt went.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
In this second call to police, Lori Knowles can again be clearly heard as she states her condition of being overdosed on a medication. This dispatcher attempts to calm Lori in order to discover the root of her call. In a defeated breath, Lori once again indicates a medical problem before being disconnected. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/MdeY2kRgAho" width="420"></iframe></blockquote>
I'm not going to tell you what to believe. No one can do that. But I will tell you this: the "HELP" for Lori, indicates the situation started at 4:11 pm. After a 15 minute ride to the hospital (20minutes for the average person, but we're assuming she had an ambulance), she was pronounced dead at 5:27pm.<br />
<br />
What this means is that people are liabilities. Police don't have time to spend more than an hour with you, before deciding, you're expendable. The dispatch certainly didn't aid by interrupting the woman - but I'm not the expert in communicating with overdose patients, so maybe that IS just the way it's done.<br />
<br />
But as if that were not enough, get ready for the real tear jerker. Listen as Mr. Knowles makes an attempt to COMMUNICATE with officers.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Listen as dispatch prepares to handle the arrival of Lori's husband on the scene where his wife is attacked by officers. Listen as he begs dispatch to tell officers not to hurt his wife, all the while wondering if it's too late. </blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/BpfEKgdWLo0" width="420"></iframe>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Why does this matter to you? Like I said before, these are <u><b>NO LONGER</b></u> isolated incidents. These crimes against humanity, against the OATH TAKEN BY OFFICERS, has gone on far too long. There's a growing list of people who've been assaulted by "officers of the LAW" in the name of SERVICE and PROTECTION. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is something that can be done to bring misconduct like this to an end, but it starts with policing the police. We - THE CITIZENS of the state - can see to it that these officers be held accountable for their crimes in the same manner citizens are subjected; and we can see to it that justice be served to those who TRULY are servants to the people, and no more above the law than the citizens they claim to protect.<br />
<br />
You can shine a spotlight on this crime and many others like it, being perpetrated by the state's mafia, by checking out <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OperationSimpleRequest" target="_blank">Operation Simple Request</a> on Facebook. In the meantime, don't forget to let Henry County PD know what you think about their service and protection by leaving a review <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HCPDGA" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">For
those of you who have expanded your mind and understand that knowledge is
freedom, <b>Namaste</b>, and thanks for
sticking around. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Exploring
some of the darker cavities of the Nation’s “damning”, I would kindly remind
everyone that we are seeking <i>validity</i>
of the idea that America is cursed. And, I’m going to ask you this:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0in 10pt 0.5in;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">What kind of things do

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">As
your average person, I am instantly reminded of our arrival on this continent.
It wasn’t long after appearance in this region that we set about <u>conquering
and slaughtering</u> the natives; stealing their land; secluding the remaining
population to reservations; and then profiting from the stolen land by claiming
ownership of it (BY FORCE), by selling it back to the <i>very</i> people who fought and died to obtain it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--kMOQudknP8/U9azCyCy0GI/AAAAAAAABZM/wu1HTbuULws/s1600/wampanoag-small-pox.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--kMOQudknP8/U9azCyCy0GI/AAAAAAAABZM/wu1HTbuULws/s1600/wampanoag-small-pox.jpeg" height="220" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">And
if my recollection serves me accurately,
<b><u>PLAGUE</u></b> was the number
one killer of the native populations, responsible for 90% of the eradication. Whole
civilizations were wiped out of existence when our ancestors arrived with
diseases to which natives had no immunity. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Isn’t
it interesting that this very situation exists at our southern borders? It was <i>BIOLOGICAL WARFARE</i> then, and it’s the
same thing now. But that’s for another time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Are
we cursed? Was the <b>annihilation</b> of a
people something that might have pissed off some powerful chief? Speculating, I
assure you. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Now,
once we get the natives in line and relocated to where we could tolerate them,
we put some energy into slavery—again, <u>dominating a society</u> of people
and forcing them to comply. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: small;">Among
that community, VOODOO was the choice magic discreetly practiced. Perhaps some
servant didn’t approve of the lifestyle, and could be capable of cursing the
nation through voodoo? </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><u>It sounds cool</u></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: small;">.
</span><b style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">But</b><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: small;"> that </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">doesn't</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: small;"> necessarily make it
true. So let’s move on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--SDr6t-MEos/U9azRYjmFpI/AAAAAAAABZU/AzYBKCDbcQY/s1600/1343231416_6799_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--SDr6t-MEos/U9azRYjmFpI/AAAAAAAABZU/AzYBKCDbcQY/s1600/1343231416_6799_1.jpg" height="238" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">As
if those two events were not enough on the American conscience, we then advance
to the <b>witch trials</b>—folks hunted
down and murdered on account of their practice of magic. The ridiculous part of
this one carried out tortures to make people confess their association to evil.
The theory with these tests was that <i>IF</i>
one survived, they were <u>guilty of witchcraft</u>, and would be
killed…some…other…way… I suppose. HOWEVER, <i>if</i>
the subject <b><u>died</u></b> before
confessing to being a witch, clearly they were NOT a witch. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">But
we <b>ALL</b> know witches LOVE to cast
spells and curse people, right? Maybe they didn’t approve of being burned,
drowned, hanged, beaten, and who knows what else; and <i>THEY</i> cast a spell. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">The
bad stuff doesn’t end with these events either. American history is littered
with repetitive <b><u>GENOCIDE</u></b> that
encompasses <i>nearly</i> <u>every original
ancestor race</u> of the nation at some point in time. So perhaps, as collective agents of HUMAN
BEINGS that have been slaughtered by the ignorance of the nation, there very
well <i>could</i> be a curse with so much
fuel behind it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hihrcjeRiNs/U9azoN_3rQI/AAAAAAAABZc/ADywN1UGKOk/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hihrcjeRiNs/U9azoN_3rQI/AAAAAAAABZc/ADywN1UGKOk/s1600/images.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">One
theory indicates a curse right in the bible. In his works <u>Is America Cursed
by God</u>, Exclusive Intelligence Examiner Reporter, Texe Marrs, refers to the message in the bible warning us of our
doom. According to his writing, in Daniel 5:25-27, we are <i>told</i> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0in 10pt 0.5in;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">“<i>God hath numbered thy
kingdom and finished it. Thou art weighed in the balance and found wanting</i>.”<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Yikes!
And I don’t even roll that way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Marrs
certainly goes the distance in including scripture to further back up his
claim. However, there’s more to it. Texe Marrs, who is the minister of Power of
Prophecy Minisitries and American writer based out of Texas, asserts this verse
to have been levied upon our nation in 1948 when America aided in the
establishment of Israel in the Middle East. His words, not mine!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">He
states:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0in 10pt 1in;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">“By our assisting the endtime rise of wicked ‘Sodom and
Egypt,’ America has become a pariah nation in God’s eyes, a rebellious entity,
and a vessel fit for destruction”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">That
kinda hurt. I don’t entirely disagree with him, though. Especially as Mr. Marrs
recounts the <b>cesspool of humanity</b>
that America has become. He speaks of the “<u>joyless existence</u>” we live as
we pursue wealth and material possession—I’m summarizing immensely, but he
makes excellent points on the ways in which we’re marching towards “hell in a
hand basket” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Now,
are these the occurrences that Daniel 5:25-27 truly reference? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">I’ve
only read theBible—never studied it. But I’m always intrigued when things
overlap, because they serve to remind us that we are all one, and we are all in
this together. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">That
said, I agree with some of Mr. Marrs’ ideas—as far as our society being a <u>classless,
and blood sucking beings </u>that’ve discovered amazing gifts and capabilities
over our environment; and are <b>abusing
those powers.</b> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">In
my community, this is equivalent to meddling with your KARMIC DEBT, or testing
the Law of Three. <u>What you put out will come back to you</u>. If that
something was really horrible, well, let’s just say I don’t want to stand too
close to you. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qBVbgvi013I/U9a0elBlECI/AAAAAAAABZk/vthgN9sPR24/s1600/comet_impact_21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qBVbgvi013I/U9a0elBlECI/AAAAAAAABZk/vthgN9sPR24/s1600/comet_impact_21.jpg" height="175" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Well,
with the majority of the world in an unbalanced chaos, curse or not, nature
always finds a way to regain balance. The last time I reflected on nature’s
balance-checking, I noticed there was some radiation filling our oceans, and
polluting the resources there. I’ve seen catastrophic weather wipe out whole
communities. But worst of all, I’ve seen evidence that nature has taken this
entire planet out more than five times before. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: small;">Sure,
I find myself wondering if a curse could exist due to our brutal and invasive
past. Who can help asking themselves if </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">we've</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: small;"> been cursed by God or some
angered spirit, or collective thereof. Are our days numbered by an even bigger
threat? More is on the way in this series, so keep checking back to see the
latest. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

than once in this series, we’ve addressed the fact that one of the oldest
studies of the human race has been conducted in the field of <b>BEHAVIOR CONTROL</b>. With this in mind,
one can surmise quickly that it will take more than a single device to <u>control
an entire population</u>—especially one so considerably diverse as America. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Well,
let’s analyze some of the means of control. Now, many of you will readily agree
that dependency is created and further established by the government programs
(which provide perks such as free cell phones, cable television, welfare,
advanced education, medical coverage, etc). While, all well-<i>intended</i> programs, they are,
nonetheless, harmful to an independent society. So let’s not beat that dead
horse. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WPHJHux7QGQ/U80d4mLKucI/AAAAAAAABWc/cWhyquD_WL8/s1600/public+school+indoctrination.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WPHJHux7QGQ/U80d4mLKucI/AAAAAAAABWc/cWhyquD_WL8/s1600/public+school+indoctrination.jpg" height="200" width="150" /></a><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Instead,
let’s address things like the diminishing educational system. Granted
we never had the best, but then we had Common Core implemented. This curriculum
is the epitome of micromanagement; taking an already simple concept such as a
two-step problem and <i><u>simplifying</u></i>
it into so many individual steps it leaves your mind numb. In many cases, if the procedure is not
followed, regardless of the student’s answer, it’s marked wrong. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Indoctrinated
by both a lack of truth in material and a micromanagement procedural approach,
the brains of our children are lessened for a reason. The quality of our country’s <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">educational
system is preparing our children to be able to push buttons without question.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">And
because schools have such adequate time with children at all the pivotal points
in their youth, it is now very common to find core material praising Obama as a
savior of the people; spotlighting and practicing Muslim “awareness and
sensitivity” courses; and selectively teaching the U.S. Constitution. Students
who rebel – or even THINK about rebellion – find themselves condemned and
chastised—shun to the general populace. There have even been reports of
students being punished for <b>questioning</b>
the teacher who was <u>WRONG</u>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VgdhHQAnahY/U80d4hT8PdI/AAAAAAAABWg/u96Z7jQQc5o/s1600/NEAINDOCTRINATION.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VgdhHQAnahY/U80d4hT8PdI/AAAAAAAABWg/u96Z7jQQc5o/s1600/NEAINDOCTRINATION.jpg" height="305" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Starting
at the earliest age, our society has crushed the <b><i>competitive</i></b> and <i>creative</i> nature of children by promoting
<u>failure as a success in an everybody-gets-a-trophy-society</u>. Now to most,
it seems to make sense that <b>from failure
comes a lesson</b> and we strive to apply that lesson until we hit our target.
However, in a world where everyone gets a trophy – win or lose – I still win,
so why <i>fucking</i> bother? I’m sorry.
Public school education and all. ;)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">What
I mean is, there comes a certain feeling with winning and losing – it’s called
pride. And, it either gets a boost or a swift kick in the nuts. BOTH of those
come with feelings. And without having to experience those feelings, children
take a blindness to the emotions of winning and losing and instead shrug it
off. Their “<u>survival mode</u>” is being expunged. <i>Why</i>? Or, hey, why <i>not</i>? Oh
that’s right, because scientists keep DNA around from beings that really
shouldn’t be kept around. But let’s stay focused.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Now,
without a need to experience those feelings children have more time to sit in
front of the computers, games, and other colorful and lively electronics that
satisfy the brain’s desire for creativity. Best part it, it requires them to do
nothing more than push some buttons. See
what I did there?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jqsP56CAdNk/U80d4uJXgyI/AAAAAAAABWo/75MU9Jtl1aw/s1600/Public-School-Indoctrination-Center-Lana-Wong.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jqsP56CAdNk/U80d4uJXgyI/AAAAAAAABWo/75MU9Jtl1aw/s1600/Public-School-Indoctrination-Center-Lana-Wong.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> Suffice it to say, we’re just not done
screwing with the generation of children before us. We further push ideas of
equality across the board, which I think is awesome. I think I’m skeptical that
such a world could ever exist, but hey, I like to fantasize. In this equality
campaign, though, we are more openly exposed to a variety of divisive tactics
that orbit “gender confusion” and a surmounting growth in the education of all
things related to the subject in order to create sensitivity to topic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">I
should probably interject at this point before you get some silly idea about
what I may or may not believe in. I fully support your right to do whatever you
want to do so long as it doesn’t harm someone else. I love all people for who
they are and no matter what <i>baggage</i>
they carry. I do the divine thing and treat people as they treat me and as I
would want to be treated. I would go as far as to say, can people really help
who they fall in love with; or is it more likely that our ideas of what love <i>really</i> is have been so perverted that we
fail to acknowledge that nature does it, too? Food for thought.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wD-JV0JK6u4/U80e-tgREqI/AAAAAAAABW0/SF1txmXPQA0/s1600/gender-neutral-bathroom-sign.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wD-JV0JK6u4/U80e-tgREqI/AAAAAAAABW0/SF1txmXPQA0/s1600/gender-neutral-bathroom-sign.jpg" height="103" width="200" /></a></div>
<i><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">However</span></i><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">, as gender
roles become less clear, children do not learn to make the connections and
distinctions between “masculine” traits and “feminine” traits. They are unable
to identify with a role that seems to fit their persona. Again, division
amongst the ranks rises as those “survival mode” carrier-children begin to
infringe upon the population of “confused” children in the form of bullying. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">So
threatened by the idea of bullying, the society leans towards exposing and
chastising the behavior, and demonstrating the horrific effects of continued
tactics. To many it seems bringing awareness and “preventative” efforts forward,
we can nip bullying right in the bud. Umm… maybe this is old-fashioned
thinking, but why not just have all the students take a class in martial arts?
Why not <b>bring back PE</b> and get our
kids learning some simple steps in competition? Why do kids spend 8 hours a day
in a class room – and NOT have time for PE, Music, Art, and other creative
education time? We have made bullying the repression of our children’s
generation, and we are witnessing the pussification of America. But we’re not
done yet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">

gender confusion to a lack of outlets for simply being a child – you know, all
that hyper stuff; the bouncing off the wall stuff? It’s called being a kid. Somewhere
along the line of removing the outlets for their energy, we thought that
“having better” meant indoctrinating a value placed on having a lifelong career
working 9-5, Monday through Friday, in a cube. So we plant them in front of
devices for education, entertainment, and in some cases enlightenment. And then
wonder why the generation of kids doesn’t play outside.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">In
some cases, these outlets are not enough to contain the inner child, though.
And those children, whose inner child presents itself in the public domain, it
becomes essential that that child receive medical attention in the form of a
pill. Once again, pushing medicine and vaccination as a requirement to get some
of that good old public ed-JU-cay-shun. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

to sound a little “Minority Report” minus the precogs? Consider this, the
precogs were just databases of collected data from the thoughts and behaviors
of humans, until it became logically clear that a crime was about to occur.
Basically, if there are certain parameters that exist in the brain capable of
pinpointing that a crime is going to occur; and a computer designed to pick up

these are some crazy concepts, and I’m not asking you to believe them. Vast
majorities of people are thinking these things, and I’m just saying them. I can
see it more easily than some only because I have played the “God” role. By
that, I mean only that I have controlled genetics to produce a desired result
and have found it to be simple, and satisfying. It takes time, but anyone can
do it. And if anyone can do it, is it being done to the human race? However,
instead of breeding a society worthy of the future, America has been breeding a
cesspool of <b><u>hatred</u></b><u> and <b>inhumanity</b></u>, with the scent of its
decay disguised in the ideals of a <i>perverted</i>
love and security.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of the human imagination that we may very well be just another primordial being
<b><i>surviving</i></b>
on this planet? We just discussed that even the simplest organisms resolved to
domination in order to survive. Together we have come to agree that our
ancestry endorsed some of the most horrific actions against man. Further, we
have acknowledged that such violence has been suppressed and replaced with a
more sensitized view of human life. As such, how difficult is it for anyone to
consider even the slightest possibility that MAYBE we’re just another species
finding it’s “place” on this earth?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Some will argue that
we are not sensitized, as we still see violent crimes. Touché! But I think that
further exemplifies my point. If we are indeed just another living species –not
unlike any other fighting for survival –the fact that this world still sees
such heinous actions against all life forms is a clear indication that our
natural tendency to “<i>survive</i>” by
domination is deeply rooted in our primal, animalistic, instinct. It can’t be
completely repressed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

every way around the “survival of the fittest” clause in the ecosystem of the
planet. Through science, medicine, and technology, people have brought life to
where there would otherwise be no life; and, managed to extend the longevity of
life. <b><i>When did we become so terrified of death that we sought solace in

SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL across the globe (in some places to the extent of
people starving due to a lack of resources), we fight for the <i>rights </i>and lives of known <u>murderers</u>,

these individuals are the remnants of a people we once used to be; who survived
on primal instinct, at a time when survival meant destroy and conquer. Clearly,
these people have <i><u>no place in our

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">For the most part, <u>our

established a hierarchy based on the HOLDERS OF THE HIGHEST CURRENCY. So in our

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Scientists then study

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Let’s stay focused on
the few things that happen here; because first, it allows further study of and
release of drugs designed specifically to repress the behaviors without curing
it. Add to the fact that new drugs are
NOT made over night. They take years of testing. Knowing this… we’re seeing
today the experiments of yesterday. If it doesn’t look good now, do you really
see it getting better?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the doors it opens for convictions to be overturned, if the person is diagnosed
with these conditions. If simply forgetting to take a pill to balance your
brain chemicals is enough to excuse you of the responsibility of your murder,
we have a serious problem. Do we start dismissing all cases in which having
brain damage is enough to say, “<i>Release

paying attention and caught the fact that all their research and medication is
centered on the advancement of mind controlling agents. <i>They are literally finding ways to chemically control people</i> (and
in most cases, turn them into immobile drooling stations). By first identifying

trust these drug designers to be completely interested in our true happiness?
If masses of people could be so easily controlled, isn’t it possible they’re
going to do just that? Are we doomed by a repression of our natural behavior,
or is there something more to it?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

without saying; there are many problems in our world today. The history and
foundation upon which our rock has been built is nothing short of shady and
damning. Expressed through the eyes of expert scholars who’ve studied the text
of timeless writings (allegedly scribed by the most powerful people of their
time); we trust not only the interpreters of history, but the writers.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">While this ultimately creates a challenge in determining the validity of an account, there is one repetitive theme throughout the vast majority of historical works. That is, the roots of this earth are firmly established in the depths of violence, fear, and control; and watered by the blood of the men who seek to break the chains of control.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"> America was supposed to be different
though. She was <i>supposed</i> to be the
salvation of the world’s people, oppressed by their own leaders. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Or
was she?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W0atl2WtrvU/U8FcIrA-5gI/AAAAAAAABQY/8zdSOaRJ-O0/s1600/Peter_Paul_Rubens_-_Massacre_of_the_Innocents_-_WGA20259.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W0atl2WtrvU/U8FcIrA-5gI/AAAAAAAABQY/8zdSOaRJ-O0/s1600/Peter_Paul_Rubens_-_Massacre_of_the_Innocents_-_WGA20259.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">As
the story of America unfolds, the country gave birth to its own brand of
brutality and control. While the school books dance around horrific truths of
battles between the natives and the founders; the reality is that we have
always been savages. Even as the earliest creatures to walk this earth were REMORSELESS
KILLERS, they pale in comparison to the <u>single-most destructive and inhumane
force in the world</u>; <b>HUMAN BEINGS. <o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">You
would think as the <b>only species on this
planet capable of intellectual thought and rationale</b> that we could fathom
something beyond plans of mass destruction and control. But, no…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Instead we’ve come from being a race entirely dependent on our ability to work hard at cultivating and harvesting the resources of this planet; to being an invasive species seeking only to alleviate ourselves of burden and hard work by creating tools that bring about devastation at a rapid pace. In some cases, we’ve simplified the workload so tremendously; our goals can be met with the simple click of a button. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Many
will say “<i>We fought for a future that
would be better than the one we had.</i>” Well, have we accomplished that? Have
we truly been given and are we currently passing along a future we want for our
children?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">It
seems to me that we’ve more effectively created a world of <b>LAZY</b> beings dependent on the tools and handouts provided to keep
their world as simple and blissful as possible. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">As
we’ve embarked on the mission to reduce our efforts, we’ve progressed our
technology and medicine; which, arguably, is the responsible source for our
reduced mentality, but also keeps us alive longer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9ZTTtM_KcbM/U8Fdj7UrluI/AAAAAAAABQk/jehJaTz7aeA/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9ZTTtM_KcbM/U8Fdj7UrluI/AAAAAAAABQk/jehJaTz7aeA/s1600/images.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">The
result of “advancements” has unfortunately had the effect of <b><u>diminishing the creative thought
processes of our youth</u></b> by providing all the “imagination” they may
require. It comes in the form of fast moving lights and sounds streamed through
the digital screens of indoctrination boxes (television, computers, video
games, etc.). The only thing reliable in this knowledge is that <i><u>this</u></i> generation of children will not bring about change or mind blowing engineering feats, because they will have never lifted a finger to acquire knowledge or think on their own. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">This
argument generally goes two ways. The vast (liberal) majority will cry for
controls to be put in place, or standards to be met and identified. Many will
point the finger of parental responsibility – which to some extent I would
wholeheartedly support you. However, we’re talking about mind control here. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ksNKAz8Qi2M/U8Fkh6pirBI/AAAAAAAABQw/RyStBNXuF9E/s1600/labbaby.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ksNKAz8Qi2M/U8Fkh6pirBI/AAAAAAAABQw/RyStBNXuF9E/s1600/labbaby.jpg" height="320" width="236" /></a><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">The
breeding of a <b>LAB RAT SOCIETY</b> is a <i><u>truth</u></i> that is <b>ages old</b>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">In
fact, the desire to control has existed since the first single-celled organism.
We called it <u>survival of the fittest,</u> because guess what? The only thing
a single-celled organism <i>knows</i> is… <b>SURVIVE</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Due
to the <b><i>need</i></b> to survive, the study of domination has been practiced
since the birth of this earth, and only humans have perfected it. Sadly, with
this know-how, we’ve only managed to generate of society that demands <i>equality</i> of the sexes, rather than
recognize the delicate balance that exists in the strengths and weaknesses of
man and woman. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">As
a result of a feminist movement, mothers who would be home raising the children
and being the thread that holds communities together, are now burdened by
having to hold the title of breadwinner while their children are left to be
raised by electronic babysitters. Women – and I generalize because some
actually <i>want</i> to be man’s equal and
not his partner – are thusly <u>FORCED TO CHOOSE</u> between fulfilling the <b>societally influenced ideals</b> of a “<i>strong</i>” woman, or embrace the role that
was perfectly designed for her to have balance in her world. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Many
of you may recall statements by me during my appearance on the Discovery show,
Naked and Afraid, regarding this concept. Despite being taken out of context to
portray me as a <i><u>chauvinist</u></i>; I
truly believe that our sexual roles were meant to balance the weaknesses of
each other’s sex. Sure, throughout the ages there have been stronger than average
woman step up – often disguised as men – but it was NOT the move for <b>ALL</b> women. Somewhere along the line, we forgot that not <i>all</i> women wished to be more than
balanced with men. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o8Fg6RtBm5E/U8Fk2FqJBdI/AAAAAAAABQ4/A_8kwLHGAHw/s1600/download.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o8Fg6RtBm5E/U8Fk2FqJBdI/AAAAAAAABQ4/A_8kwLHGAHw/s1600/download.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">The results have been far more devastating as they have not only CREATED DIVISION and WAR in all things; but have broken families through divorce, and figuratively castrated the idea of masculinity. This is just another way society rules and people become dominated and controlled. As we were discussing the possible damnation of America, this thought certainly provokes the question of whether we are or not</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The first step to breaking the bad habits of law
enforcement is to show them that WE THE PEOPLE are paying attention world-wide.
Inspired to do just that, Jason Patrick initiated <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OperationSimpleRequest">Operation Simple Request</a>
in his hometown and with his unit. The mission was simple: send a Public Record
Request for a case that involved misuse of authority. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The purpose of this mission was to generate enough public
record requests on the desk of the agency that they would be forced to
acknowledge the people’s requests for answers and justice. In addition to
generating support for full investigations into crimes that would otherwise go
unattested (because they were carried out by the biggest criminals in the country—the
police); the materials obtained during these requests give the citizens the
hand they need to begin processing formal charges where they oughta be pressed.

during the Bundy Standoff, and to Washington D.C. for Operation American Spring
through his connections as a militia leader of Georgia, a journalist, and a
contributor to <a href="https://www.zeninthecar.com/">ZenInTheCar.com</a>.
Enlivened and inspired, he strongly believes his mission can be carried out
across the nation for all situations involving law enforcement, where law
enforcement is breaking the oath. Full proof instructions and templates are
provided for each case at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OperationSimpleRequest">Operation Simple Request</a>.

you have to go to the dentist, or any of the million excuses you can come up
with for not taking five minutes to do one simple request. You have a “flute
recital.” It doesn’t matter what it is, but you have to engage in that flute
recital, and it will prevent you from this; or helping your friend move; or do
whatever it is that you don’t want to do. And that’s fine. Some sacrifices are
just not worth it, right? Just not worth liberty. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the only people responsible for maintaining the safety of their jurisdiction,
they are just as guilty as the officers that launched a grenade into a baby’s

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">“My pity to he who fights every day for a liberty for
all that he never truly experiences for himself.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">In the broad scope of
things, we may have lost sight of what it is we’re <i>truly</i> fighting for. I’ve said before to avoid listing the numerous
freedoms we’ve lost, and to focus on what freedom we will or <i>will not</i> have in our future. The reason
for this is because it all boils down to one thing. Freedom. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Like many of you, I grew
up hearing and telling others that this was a “Free” country. The reality is
that it’s not. There is nothing <i>free</i>
in this country. In fact, what once was the very symbol of freedom is nothing
more than scattered memories and images turned sour by the Elite. The definition
of freedom becomes diluted with concepts of what freedom looks like, rather
than what is really is. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">There’s no real difficulty
in moving the nation into true freedom, but the process demands we first
acknowledge what <i>freedom</i> is. Not only
are we tasked with redefining the term, but to embrace it and the challenges
that come with fulfilling it. Now, I’m not a dictionary, and I’m not even using
one, but I think when it comes to defining “freedom” we can all agree that <b>CHOICE</b> is an all-inclusive definition
that satisfies what we’re after. Am I right? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Consider everything you do
in life ultimately rests on a choice. You have the choice:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> - to get up and go to work, or <i>NOT</i>;<br />
- to go spend money on a
movie, or <i>NOT</i>;<br />
- to have babies; and so on
and so forth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Basically, you have
unlimited choices. They may be affected by such things as finances,</span><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-no-proof: yes;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> scheduling, or some other personal reason; but
the fact remains they are your choices to make. And it’s great when you have that
freedom, right? That is, until they stop becoming <i>your</i> choice to make. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">One of the factors that
contribute immensely to the choices we make comes down who gets hurt the most
by a decision. Most often, the choices that we want to make, or even that may
be the best decision to make, are overridden by the amount of guilt we feel
about hurting or disappointing others. In the end, your choice is to go along
with whatever everyone else decided was good for them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">This is the very concept
that leads to mob rulings. Take the one person out of the many who chooses <i>NOT</i> to do what the rest are doing. That

in this amendment are your first and second amendments. Your 1A, it’s gone;
and, with what’s left of it cannot coexist in the same region as your 2<sup>nd</sup>
amendment. So, if you wish to protest (which, if you can find something left to
protest in the list of things you are prohibited from protesting about, I
commend you), you must do so with your words, and not your protection of those
words. Good luck with that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

eradicate—I mean, regulate religion. From defining such words as “religious”
and demanding they remove them from all things “public” including buildings,
money, books, and basically your mouth; this Article of the amendment will make
you shake your head. Of particular mention in this area of the amendment, I
would ask you to look at Article II Section 3, which reads:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span><i> <b>Section 3</b>. The United States of America is not a Christian nation nor a nation promoting any religion. Instead, the United States of America is a nation of Freedom, Equality, Justice and Equal Rights for ALL people.</i><br />

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Color me a conspiracy
theorist, but are you beginning to see what’s going on here? Words are
important, as they are received by the human mind and processed in particular
ways. This section very clearly denounces the Christian heritage of America.
Over any other religion chosen to specifically call out, the writers chose
Christianity. Over time, mob rules such as these turn into “you are prohibited
from practicing Christianity.” Ask a witch how she knows, cause just as the
Pagans and the Natives were thwarted for their beliefs, so shall be the
believers of Christianity if legislation like this is adopted. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Some other interesting
details throughout this document include placing requirements for education and
testing on Government Officials that even our founding fathers would fail. It
ought to frighten you that these requirements include holding a bachelor’s
degree, and passing several mental and physical evaluations. Essentially, the
liberal unicorn chasers want to believe that their educational system is so
valuable that no one holding office could possibly be good for us if they don’t
have a piece of paper to prove they received it. I’m not going to point out that many of
history’s greatest achievements (including the founding of our country) stem
from people who were mentally ill, and/or on drugs. Considering the way of America is leaning on
the passing of laws to make doing drugs LEGAL, I would wonder what pool of
people that will leave us with to CHOOSE to lead us. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I can guarantee you one thing;
by the standards listed in this document, whoever <i>is</i> left to lead this country will certainly have no religious
background. Because there’s a requirement for that. Religious leaders are
BARRED from running for public office or positions within public education for
a period of time AFTER they have chosen to LEAVE their position of faith. Once
again, asking people to denounce their faith in order to participate. And if
you can’t comply with this, you will be subject to impeachment proceedings, or
if you are running, your campaign will be ignored and prohibited from
participating in political debates and functions. Let’s put it like this: NO
FAITH FOR YOU! If your faith is speaking out loud, it’s too loud for public. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Are you getting a little
mad yet? They have articles that cover education. If you didn’t think education
was at a loss yet, just wait. This document outlines the provisions of
government funding only to public schools. No charter schools can receive
government funding. Or put simply: no funding to any source of education that
could <i>potentially</i> educate on a
religious topic. Not every charter school is a religion-based school, but
thanks for limiting our choices to receive ONLY a public education unless we
can afford something different. That ought to keep the religious population in
check.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">If that doesn’t work,
certainly our liberal modification of the “acceptable” text books will help you
to comply. Adding to the absurdity of this amendment, Article VIII Section 2
identifies that all educational material will be stripped of religious reference;
in particular science education will convey only the idea of evolution and
extrude the FACTS that other <i>IDEAS</i>
exist. Because the only thing better than a child that learns is one that
learns only what you want them to without asking questions. And for the
checkers of the “other” box in the questionnaire regarding religion—who wants
to answer those kind of questions, right? <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The reality is, if you
were truly interested in education and evolution, you wouldn’t be so scared of
evolving. Education is acknowledgement of all the contributions that lead us to
think, believe, and act in a certain way regardless of where they come from –
science, religion, or spirituality. To negate that these ideas have had any
effect on the way the world works is to outlaw freedom in the form of
prohibiting education, and aids in <u>DE-EVOLVING</u> our species. Knowledge is
power, and should be embraced along with all the questions it comes with. The
lack of education prohibits freedom in that it demands your CHOICE to be an
uneducated one. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">As usual this document
also attacks prayer at school. The injured folks can’t bear to see your child
sit in prayer, so they need to keep that at home. They want to take ‘the
Federal Holiday known as Christmas’ and change the name to ‘Winter Holidays,’
because it does a better job of acknowledging that variety of celebrations we
have. God-forbid someone wish you a merry fucking Christmas. Sorry, I’m getting
mad now. Not because once upon a time the holiday was Pagan, anyway, but
because once again (if it’s still not clear) the country is going toe to toe
over something petty and ridiculous that will result in the harm of others. Why
don’t we just suggest changing the name of the country while we’re at it?<o:p></o:p></span><br />

good to you? Laced with a puppies-and-kittens version of a potentially
“peaceful” future, because we’ve wiped out the infringement religion places on
us while also creating a shun for any who have a religious preference; this
document outlines the semblance of freedom while actually destroying the very
meaning of the word. If my CHOICE is to accept the terms of this document or NOT,
then I CHOOSE NOT. I will not comply with these ideas, because they are a
violation of my freedom to choose. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">And when more of me CHOOSE

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Consider this… once you’ve

that are now legal, and educated yourself and your children in the manner which
has been outlined for you; what are you, but a member of an Orwellian
society—conformed and obedient? That’s exactly what we’re headed for when we

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">It is preventable, though.
When we embrace the freedom that is choice, we can choose not to comply. We can
choose to practice our freedom as openly as we can regardless of who gets butt-hurt
over it, because that is our RIGHT as Americans, and as HUMAN BEINGS. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

against the tyrants and the mobs, or not. Whatever you choose to do, choose it

freedom. What will you choose?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It’s time to play connect the dots folks. What do the
educational system overhaul, the affordable healthcare movement, the
legalization of marijuana, and the stripping of our constitutional rights all
have in common? Simple: Controlling the herds. <o:p></o:p></div>

homeschooling their children. More people are opting for homeschooling as the
educational system adopts common core – a curriculum that literally zombifies
children by treating them like brainless apes. It sets the expectation that
upon graduation students will be work ready. First, in what country will there
be jobs? If most of American companies are outsourcing and moving to automation
what do you think will be left for people to do? Well, if we don’t become fat,
Wall-E-ized, blobs only capable of movement because of motorized chairs; we’ll
be subjected to monotonous jobs that require little brainpower or thought
whatsoever. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Don’t want to do that? Don’t want your child’s future to be
so bleak? Good luck! If your child goes to public school and can’t perform to
the lessened criteria of common core (which actually is so dumb it causes the
children who were capable of doing the work at an advanced level to be
absolutely confused and treated as if they can’t perform), it is highly likely
that the school will advise you to seek medical (and more than likely medicinal
assistance). What’s that? You don’t want your child on some crazy medicine? Why
not? I mean… you don’t want to be like these folks (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10202757229076957&set=a.1094628731060.16186.1386830735&type=1&theater">https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10202757229076957&set=a.1094628731060.16186.1386830735&type=1&theater</a>)

who fortunately cared enough about their 10-year old child to send her to
public school. Unfortunately she’s dead because after several reports made to
the Department of Family and Children Services regarding child abuse, no
attempts were made to help her. Instead, after she was malnourished to about
30lbs, the parents were busted trying to burn the body in their garbage can in
the front yard. But hey, we got those bastards <i>now</i>, and that girl’s memory will live on. Whereas, people who give
a damn about their child enough to not subject them to the government-funded
systems are ridiculed and confronted by DFACS; and as you can see in the story
above – their children are removed from their custody…even if DFACS can’t
maintain the well-being of the child. <o:p></o:p></div>

schools, but it gets better. So now many Americans are losing coverage, paying
more for it, or trying to avoid fines for not buying the coverage available.
Right? So have you thought about why the government would want to destroy the
insurance companies? Why would our government want to deal with peoples’ health?
I mean, they can’t even balance a budget and we think they can write on health?
Reminder, these are the same people approving <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_slime">pink slime</a>, allowing <a href="http://rense.com/general2/bf.htm">diseased meat products</a> to be
consumed, support <a href="http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_27143.cfm">GMOs and
Monsanto</a>, have <a href="http://aattp.org/west-virginia-chemical-spill-leaves-200k-with-poisoned-water-meanwhile-tea-party-pushes-for-even-more-deregulation/">allowed
toxic water to be consumed</a>—need I go on? Remember, he who controls the food
supply controls the masses. But I digress. We were talking about the healthcare
reform – which is going to deliver a crushing blow to seniors, but they’re
practically on deaths doorstep anyway, right? Funny how this administration is
all about death and murder. I mean, they want tax payers to fund abortions. Don’t
get me wrong: a woman’s right to choose is hers to make, she’s the one who has
to live with her decision. In some cases, I actually think abortion should be
more heavily considered, but I live by the Darwin concept that only the strong
survive. Not that it’s relative here, the point is that abortions should be a
private matter between a woman and her doctor. If the taxpayers have to pay,
then we need to consider that more caution needs to be practiced and every
abortion consideration should be run through those paying, don’tcha think?
Again I digress. Sorry. Healthcare- so now the government has a clear view
right into your body, knows what your ailments are and can prescribe something
to make it all better, right? Or maybe there are some tests and experiments that
need some human mice. Well, you won’t be told that, but I assure you… you will
be convinced it is for your benefit. So
head to those concentration camps—I mean health clinics and get yourself
checked. Don’t believe me? Don’t think this would ever happen? Neither did <a href="http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005168">they</a>.</div>

If not… go smoke you one. That should help. Look, I’m not
anti-legalization of marijuana. I’m anti-the-government-having-ever-put-their-hands-in-it.
Hopefully you are already aware that the marijuana issue was decided by large
companies (across the board from tobacco to clothing) that didn’t care for
competition. But anyway, marijuana is making a comeback, and Mr. Obama is
pushing it so hard he doesn’t care if his facts on the topic are completely wrong.
In his <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/19/obama-marijuana-alcohol_n_4627740.html">statements</a>
regarding legalization he makes comparisons to alcohol and tobacco and suggests
that marijuana is essentially no worse. Umm maybe what he meant to say is that
marijuana would be a better choice than either, but that’s not what he said.
Stay focused, though. It doesn’t matter what side of that you’re on. What
happens when marijuana is legalized and being sold in cartons and taxed to
death, and everyone in the country is stoned off their ass? Well, that
simpleton job you have, you can now do it complacently. And who will control
the marijuana flow at this point? What chemicals can we expect to be laced
throughout our now legal substance? I don’t know, it seems to me that if I were
a dictator and wanted to control the masses to such extents, I would certainly
use what I know they want and I would manufacture it to serve my own purposes.
And because we've been studying the human brain for so long, trust me, the
science exists to completely obliterate a human’s rational thought and replace
it with anything the controlling individual desires. Don’t think so? We could
ask <a href="http://truthstreammedia.com/report-was-navy-yard-shooter-gangstalked-with-mind-control-microwave-weapons/">Aaron
Alexis</a>. Oh wait… no we can’t… he’s dead. Now, I’m not suggesting this was a
side effect of any drug-related incident. What I’m saying is that it starts
somewhere, and why not with the very drugs more than 70% of Americans (and who
knows how many illegal immigrants) are fond of. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
And we come to my concluding point… <o:p></o:p></div>

This
is not a document of laws. Constitutional rights are granted to us by our
creator. They are conveniently jotted down by our founding fathers as a
reminder. Over the years of America’s growth people have been convinced that
these things can be altered, amended, adjusted, bent, broken, and twisted to
satisfy an end goal of deprivation. Little by little there have been damages
and infringements upon these rights which were never permission-based to begin
with. Do not think for one second that just because these natural ideas and
understandings were written down that it was for the purpose of satisfying needs
of the times or that they can be subjected to human alterations. Shame on us
for having forgotten that and allowed any amendments to be placed AT ALL. </div>

threat substantially. Why? Well, how can you be a good little sheep if you have
weapons and the capability to defend yourself from that which you do not agree
with? More and more we are seeing the greatest rise of the police state than we
have seen throughout history. Answer this: when you wake up to the crappy
educational system your child is enduring, and after you’ve refused their meds
to zombify your child, and now DFACs is pounding on your door threatening to
take your child (and yes, they show up with ARMED police officers), what will
you do to protect your family? What will you use if you have complied with
disarmament? You will do nothing but submit. What choice do you have, right? Do
you think it will end there? Comply sheep, or you will be squashed is the new
police motto. After all, it’s not a police officer’s duty to protect and serve
as we once thought… rather <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/28/politics/28scotus.html?_r=0">they
enforce the law</a>. So what happens when the “law” puts you on the bad-guy
side along with convicted killers and criminals? Good luck fighting them off
when your right to bear arms has been stripped and you’ve sheepishly turned in
your weapons. <o:p></o:p></div>

There you have it. Dots connected. The future isn’t looking
so good and now is the time to decide if you’ll stand or bow. I for one will
stand. I will fight. I will not lay down my guns. You will have to pry them
from my cold dead hands. I hope more of you will make the same vow. <o:p></o:p></div>

There has been no greater study conducted than that of the
psychology of man. The reason for this is heavily associated with man’s natural
desire to control. As early as the dawn of human kind, the species has been
enthralled with the mind and making it function in particular manner. To this
very day, that is the only thing I remember about what I learned in psychology
class in high school. Presumably so, because it was accompanied by this story
about how cave man would deal with cave people who were acting peculiar. The
resolve of these cave-chiefs was to bludgeon the fool in the head with a rock.
Yes, this is how vulgar it was when I heard it. This method worked for a couple
of reasons: 1) there was some kind of bump or something that was affected (I
don’t really remember this reason much) and 2) the tactic usually resulted in
death, thus preventing further unsolicited behavior. That’s the important part if you ask me, so
maybe that’s why I remember it so well. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway, that’s not exactly why I’m jotting this today, but
it is related. Today, I will (eventually) address a mission that I am
personally on, and feel that we should all be on. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now, my assumption is that if you are reading this, you are
awake and aware of the current conditions surrounding our country, or at least
you are aware on which side of those I stand. I think we all are also privy to
what is necessary to come, and understand that it is nothing short of
unpleasant. To summarize, we as citizens are being asked to defend the country
with our lives in a civil war. Very summarized version obviously, and I’m all
for it. Basically, civil war has to happen and is long overdue.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unfortunately, no matter how much even the most powerful
voices call for it, there will not be enough backing to warrant the slightest
fear from our over-powered government. (By
the way, from here on out, let’s just make it clear that any reference to “the
government,” “they,” “leaders,” “politicians,” or any other term in that
regard, is the understood version reference to the “people we pay to run our
country.”) And don’t misunderstand me as not supporting the cause when I say
that. It’s just a matter of fact that I
have come to realize. You can ask me why, or just ask yourself.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Think about all those little things – those freedoms – we’ve
lost. Think about our educational system. Think about the massive advance in
our technology; and the speed at which we expect all things to occur. When you
ask people to visualize all the things that have been taken from us, it becomes
a laundry list of hardship with which not enough of our country wants to go
through the “lengthy hassle” of dealing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Knowing what we know
about man’s desire for control through psychology, and the amount of time and
energy that has been - and continues to be - invested into its study; we have
witnessed the tactics of tyranny evolve to include attacks on religion,
education, general liberties, race, sex, community, medicine… oh hell, can you
think of anything that we have held sacred and untouched from the government?
We have been cultivated through all of these means to accept infringement of
our rights, deterioration of our faiths, devaluation of our educational system,
and perversion of our societies. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br />
<i>Examples: When the leaders wanted to control the pagans: they changed
the religion; when they want dumber citizens they “fix” the curriculums; when
they want citizens disarmed they alter the law to make it illegal to own
weapons; when they want weakened men they convince women they can be equally
strong or stronger (and vice versa applies); when they want to maintain status
quo of minority groups they destroy the community surrounding them and entrap
them in that environment; when they want to control behaviors… they prescribe
medication capable of doing it for you… they even give you what you want
(legalized marijuana). <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have provided better rights for criminals under the guise
that somehow punishment for crime should be comfortable and convenient for the
criminal…or worse… “People can be rehabilitated.” Mass media has plagued our
thoughts to surmise that the outside world is vile and full of wicked things
about to happen to us and that is normal so just expect it. Big business and
crooked politicians have left us to believe that the only way to achieve greatness
is through greed and corruption. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The fact of the matter rests in what is in our nature to do.
Just as animals prey upon animals, it is human nature to be violent –
especially in defense of our lives. Once upon a time, this behavior was not so
frowned upon, and there existed no conflict in the thought of taking another
person’s life…gruesomely. This is why the Romans had gladiators fight to the
bloody death – because people reveled in death fearlessly. They enjoyed it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It quickly becomes obvious to dictators wrought with power,
that people who can kill so easily are a threat to the absoluteness of their
power – hence civil wars. So, they implement little, seemingly, insignificant
tactics that alter the way people think and behave (in this case, the opinion
of killing others). Many will comply
because it’s easier, isn’t much to ask, makes sense to them, or because it
seems like a good idea. After all, when any new law or invention is promised to
be for the good of all, how could it be bad, right? Right. Only after the fact
do we realize we just “passed the bill to find out what was in it,” and <i>it</i> wasn’t anything good at all.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So many millennia have been spent on perfecting these
psychological tactics in an effort to create the dumbest version of a servant,
that what’s left is the few who are bright enough to refuse totalitarian
dictators on power trips. Even amongst
those few are some who will comply with certain aspects of tyranny to avoid
inconvenience. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let me drive this further home. Currently, there are over
100 million unemployed Americans. Now, I’m not sure if that number includes the
homeless or even the American veterans who’ve been given the shaft as a reward
for their service. What I do know is that there are at least 100 million people
being tactfully thwarted by the government’s lack of initiative in progressive
movements to reduce those numbers and thusly their involvement in squashing the
spirit of Americans and transforming them into brainless servants. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sadly, that’s what happens when the human spirit is
defeated; mindless servitude is more easily endured and accepted than standing
up and fighting for your life. After all… you can’t kill someone, right? That’s
immoral and gross… and stuff. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The battle to encourage people to stand for anything is an
uphill one; let alone asking people to die for something they’ve (and probably
generations before them) never experienced. It calls for a power we don’t have…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
…Or do we? (Here’s where I make my point, by the way).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The government doesn’t fear an uprising because they are
completely aware of the shattered spirit. When they feel like the citizens are
getting out of line they induce something like Sandy Hook to get people back in
place. Top that with people calling for the restoration of a country that has
never been great for everyone while at the same time warning them of history’s
dirty habit for repeating itself; what you get is conflict across the board. I
mean, why should blacks fight to restore the country? They didn’t have any
decent history worth repeating. The same can be said for any group of people. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To combat a future of enslavement and the negativity
stacked up in the American mind, the country does not need to be restored. It
needs to be refitted with an American dream that represents a future everyone
wants. Politicians use this tactic to win elections, except they never deliver.
They make promises of a better, forward-moving change while never detailing how
that change should occur. Assured that this will be something we want is exactly
how people like Obama end up in office, but I digress.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The point is that you can’t expect many to be part of
something that gives them nothing to believe in, or something not worth their
life. My mission is to give that back to people with real and feasible
solutions that start at the community level. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’s be honest, we can’t all agree on everything and in
most cases anything. But there is something we all should be united in: safety
and well-being. I mean, have you ever
come across someone that <i>wanted</i> to be
broken, ill, fearful, unhappy, etc? I haven’t. I mean, I met a lot of people in
my life that were complete jerks and had unfavorable opinions, but for the most
part, if someone wants to live in a world full of crime and hatred, well, they
can take their unhealthy aspects on life and go to hell (or to some undesirable
location to wither away on Earth for those of you that don’t believe in hell
^.~).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The fact remains, if we are not united in such simple-minded
ideas as safety and well-being, we can’t begin to build communities that
provide the inhabitants with peace of mind that comes with them. If we don’t
have that peace of mind, we remain prisoners of our own fears – just like our
government wants its little sheeple. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Great! How do we do that, right?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s easy to convince people that they need money to do
anything, but that’s just not the case. Amazingly, the same things that thwart
our uprising are the same tools we can use to bring about these necessary
changes. Technology has been systematically abused to create lazy individuals
with no commitment to anything that takes too long to accomplish. But it also
allows us to reach out to supporters further away. Maybe you <i>do</i> have an idea and just no idea how to
carry it out. Well, reach out my friend. Because in the world of YouTube
celebrities the only voice that goes unheard is the one that doesn’t say a
word. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How about volunteering your time at the city level to be
part of your community’s development? Perhaps you could organize an event that
brings neighbors together. In this day and age, we have the power to inspire
people from oceans away to invest in projects that have the potential to
promote community involvement and improvement.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The list of things you can do goes on, but the reality is
that people need their hopes and dreams restored – not the country. The
constitution needs restored and re-instituted, but not the country. The country
needs a promising future, not avidly painted images of everything we’ve lost.
Still not with me? The place to start is in identifying the future leaders of
the America that will be. The people that will replace the leadership we’ll be
throwing out when we launch our civil war (<i>it’s
just an assumption at this point that people in power want to stay in power and
will abuse whoever serves their purpose in order to maintain that power, and
thusly, we will have no choice, but to kick their ass personally from here to
next week to get them out of office</i>). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, new leaders will have a lot to bring to the table.
Our country is in turmoil because no one can trust anyone. Particularly, anyone
seeking a role of power cannot be trusted. We need leaders that are completely
transparent and bring real, feasible plans that give people something worth
fighting for: an America we can all believe in because she represents exactly
what she was designed for (uhh… after we took it from the natives… sorry about
that y’all…unfortunately we can’t go back in time, so how bout we just let
bygones be bygones and fix this mess together, eh?). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We can all start by looking in the mirror, working right in
our own backyards… My mission has me starting right here in Snellvile, GA.
Where does yours begin?<o:p></o:p></div>

Honestly, I thought about letting the old blog go, until I realized there was a nifty editing feature that allowed me to change everything - right down to the link. That said, I got the idea last night to revamp the blog. Don't you <i>love </i>it? No? Well, it's a work in progress, and honestly not bad for being thrown together in a couple of hours. Anyway, I figured it's a new year; a good time for reflection, transformations, and goal setting. Believe it or not, my "Year of Completions" went very well, and have immensely contributed to the goals of this year. I'll get into that later, though.<br />
<br />
While I love the idea of a clean slate, I felt it was important to keep the entries from the previous year... kinda like reminders of where I came from. As I said, the experiences from the past year have significantly contributed to my vision for this year. There's a reason I stopped writing last year, and it's something that will be changed this year. Writing will become a focal point this year; and not just this blog. I'll be contributing to a site (<a href="http://www.zeninthecar.com/" target="_blank">Zen In The Car</a>) on topics of activism, community involvement, and possibly spirituality, as well as working on that series I was talking about last year. It finally has a beginning.<br />
<br />
Of course, my motherly and homeschool-teacherly duties will be first and foremost in importance. However, as you know, I am an American at heart and believe in what my country stands for. Initially, my thinking was short of a war, things weren't going to get any better. But after some thinking I realized how shallow of an idea that was. After all, what happens afterwards? I came to understand that if you want something done... you have to do it yourself. Coupling this theory with the fact that I can't afford a nice mansion somewhere in the US where government won't affect me, I figured, I should probably start right at home. Thus, as part of my goals this year, I'll be volunteering to some boards and commissions for the city of Snellville. My hope is that I'll learn enough to run for an elected position next year or the following term.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IcV5KBRcDKY/UshV6Qnzl_I/AAAAAAAAA4M/3cw6yLlAbOM/s1600/Uncle-Sam-America-needs-a-transformation-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="254" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IcV5KBRcDKY/UshV6Qnzl_I/AAAAAAAAA4M/3cw6yLlAbOM/s320/Uncle-Sam-America-needs-a-transformation-5.jpg" width="320" /></a>Because support is necessary for any goal, I think it's important to mention how excited I am for these challenges I'm about to embark on and thankful for the support I've been shown by my family and friends. As a supporter of the equal rights of all Americans, and a firm believer in the Constitution I have maintained connection with a network of like-minded people called the Constitutional Security Force (CSF). The CSF will be taking it's place as support for the Three Percent and Boots on the Ground (BOG) (America's militia lead by <a href="http://chiefkessler.com/" target="_blank">Chief Mark Kessler</a> of Gilberton, PA). This movement calling for the attention of the Georgia chapter's leaders has provided me the honor and privilege of serving the chapter to accomplish preserving America's freedoms.<br />
<br />
Anyway, it's simply too early in the year to discuss everything, but I did want to try and post something close to the New Year. I'm sure y'all understand. I also want to encourage everyone to get on their own Year of Completions movement. Not just resolutions - real, tangible things you intend on accomplishing this year. I promise, with focus and purpose there's nothing you can't do. Let's make some magic this year, folks. ^.~Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
