He finally got his day in front of a Monroe County grand jury, but Walt Fitzpatrick was there as a defendant, not as someone trying to indict the president of the United States. …
Fitzpatrick is now scheduled to be in court June 28 for an arraignment on these charges. During an arraignment, a defendant enters a plea of guilty or not guilty. If the plea is not guilty, then either a status hearing or a trial date will be set. …
Indicted along with Fitzpatrick was Darren Wesley Huff, a Georgia resident who has been identified by courthouse personnel as being Fitzpatrick’s cameraman during his April entrance into the grand jury meeting.
Huff was indicted for participating in a riot, disrupting a meeting and threatening to harm a juror, but he is more well known for having been stopped by federal authorities after he allegedly threatened to “take over Monroe County” with guns in order to bring down the president.
Huff is also facing a number of charges in federal court.
The latest is Matthew Fairfield, a suburban Cleveland man who has been sitting in jail since April in lieu of $1 million bail as he awaits trial on 54 criminal counts related to his alleged storing of a live napalm bomb at his suburban Cleveland, Ohio, home, as well as keeping explosives at a friend’s home in Cleveland. A judge this week ruled that Fairfield, 30, is competent to stand trial. He is the president of a local Oath Keepers chapter, according to a prosecutor.
Fairfield was arrested after police found a napalm bomb and another explosive device above the garage at his house in the city of North Olmsted. They also confiscated two assault rifles and several other firearms from the Cleveland home. Fairfield was convicted and sentenced to two years of probation in February for carrying concealed weapons, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq.* is soliciting campaign funds in a very questionable manner:
Invitation to conference of the international criminal bar in Hague
Posted on | May 25, 2010 | 1 Comment
From Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq.:
I need to let people know that I was invited to participate in a conference of the international criminal bar in Hague, I can spread the word there about this Coup D’etat in the US, it will be June 25-26 in Hague, but I will need donations or sponsors and advertisers to help me with the cost of the trip and with my campaign expenses.
I would only donate if she promises never to return, but I wonder, aside from the ethics of a Republican candidate (or any candidate) going to another country and heaping calumny upon the United States, particularly in wartime, how can it be legal to solicit funds to send her there in the same piece in which she solicits campaign funds? Can a request for campaign donations be combined with a solicitation for funds to be used for unrelated foundation activities, in this case, Defend Our Freedoms Foundation? I think not, but I want to look into it further, so I may update later if I find anything.
Georgia man accused of traveling to Tennessee for armed takeover of courthouse
A Georgia man has been arrested in Tennessee–authorities say he headed to Madisonville, armed and prepared to take over the courthouse.
Darren Huff stands charged of traveling in interstate commerce with intent to incite a riot and transporting in commerce a firearm in furtherance of a civil disorder.
The FBI says Huff traveled to Tennessee armed with a pistol on his hip and an assault rifle in his truck, intent on carrying out citizen’s arrests of 24 federal, state, and local officials, and on seeing that another man did not face trial for trying to do the same.
On April 1, Walter Francis Fitzpatrick had tried a citizen’s arrest of Grand Jury Foreman Gary Pettway. Fitzpatrick had previously tried to get the grand jury to indict President Barack Obama on charges of treason, with no success. Fitzpatrick was charged with disorderly conduct, inciting to riot, disrupting a meeting, and resisting arrest. …
The FBI interviewed a bank manager who said Huff told him on April 15 that Fitzpatrick had been falsely arrested, that Huff was in the Georgia militia, and that 8 or 9 other militia groups were headed to Madisonville on April 20 to “take over the city.” The bank manager said Huff told him he’d see Huff’s actions on the noon news.
Our Chaplain has been removed from his position and is no longer associated with the Georgia Militia as of April 29th. Let it be known that any member that creates negative attention from law enforcement will immediately be removed from the Georgia Militia. We will not allow members to bring discredit upon this organization. – LTC Curt Redmon
One strain of Oklahoma City bombing conspiracy attaches Timothy McVeigh to the white supremacist, quasi-Christian sect, Christian Identity.
At this time, Huff is on house arrest in Georgia. Walt Fitzpatrick was due back in court in Madisonville TN yesterday.
Every time I post about the Birther Minister of Hate Manning, I want to vomit. In all of Birfistan, he is the one I find more sickening than Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. He is more stupid and more insane than even his treasonous, hate-mongering, terroristic followers and they are stupid and insane enough.
Fortunately for me, Ms. Daisy has it covered just now, and I can let you read it from her. Thanks, Ms. Daisy!
Remember that crazy Rev. Manning that claims Obama never really went to Columbia, that he was in fact at an Al Qaida training camp for 3 years and Columbia covered for him and gave him a fake diploma? He also said he wanted Obama “jailed, hung, and shot”.
Well… That man is completely nucking futz and needs to urgently seek mental health assistance. Watching this man speak is like being blasted by a fire hose. I swear near the end I thought his head was going to explode. …
The trouble with nutcases like this is the other nutcases that believe this man (and others like him) is really on to something. If looking around on the Internet reading some of the claims and allegations made by these right wing conspirators isn’t mind boggling enough, some of the comments posted by their followers will leave little doubt that what ever their mental illness is, it’s contagious. It’s becoming a bloody conspiracy epidemic and it gets bigger and crazier every day.
I am sorry to see this. I’ve had something of a soft spot for the old liar. But Ed Hale is so upset that Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq.’s case, Taitz v. Obama, was added to the garbage heap of Birther lawsuits last week, bringing the score to 67 losses-0 wins, that he is just about daring the FBI to come calling.
I have sat here day after day and said “No violence’s“.
I have changed my mind now and I believe the day is coming soon when civil war will break out in this country. You will need to make sure that your weapons are in good working order, make sure that you have at least 2500 rounds for each weapon. You will need to get yourself some military clothing. You will need survival food. Make sure that your family has a safe place to go that you can defend. No one will be there to help you, so you must defend yourself and your family. Forget everything else and get this done asap.
Here is my reason for saying this. Our court system will not answer our problems. The law is against us and when it becomes that way, then we are left only one choice. As Thomas Jefferson* said “The constitutions must be refreshed every so often with the blood of patriots”. We must fight and die for what we believe in. …
*Thomas Jefferson: “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”
We cannot take any more of this. If they don’t want to give us honest answer, then I see them getting hot lead. Now that is hard to say but I am telling you it is coming. I hope that I am dead and gone before it happens to my country.
Get them weapon oiled, locked and loaded because the time is coming for you to use them. I can just feel the tension in the air now. People are getting angrier by the day. In war, you just aim at your enemy and squeeze the trigger. It is you or him. It is call the survival of the fittest.
He is pretty desperate, of course, since his April Fool’s joke drove all but a dozen or so of his supporters away from his Plains Radio site, and he hasn’t been able to collect on gullible Birfers anymore. Well, this approach practically guarantees a little ka-ching! from the extremists.
Enjoy your stay in the FEMA camp, Ed, you traitor. I don’t think they will charge for room and board.
JACKSON, Tenn. — A white supremacist has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for conspiring to kill then-presidential candidate Barack Obama and dozens of other black people.
U.S. District Judge J. Daniel Breen on Thursday sentenced 19-year-old Paul Schlesselman of Helena-West Helena, Ark. He had pleaded guilty in January.
Twenty-one-year-old co-defendant, Daniel Cowart of Bells, Tenn., also pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing.
Authorities have described the pair as white supremacist skinheads who hatched a plan to go on a cross-country robbery and killing spree that would end with an attack on Obama in 2008.
Their plan was to kill 88 African-Americans and behead 14 others before trying to take out Obama. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist movement.
In response to previously published statements by Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, the Army presented an official letter of counseling that directs him to report to Fort Campbell, Ky., on April 12 to begin deployment preparations with his unit. In spite of the letter, Lakin has not yet yielded, although he ultimately might. When contacted by Military.com, he would not say whether he would report for duty as ordered. …
In the letter of counseling, Lakin is told that his deployment orders “are presumed to be valid and lawful orders issued by competent military authority” and he is warned there will be consequences to disobeying them.
“Failure to follow your reassignment and/or deployment orders may result in adverse action, including court-martial,” the letter reads. “Should you fail to report to Fort Campbell in accordance with your orders and deploy, your actions may constitute a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. These violations may include being absent without leave — AWOL — missing movement, willfully disobeying a lawful order and contempt toward officials.”
Conviction of any of the charges at a court-martial could result in a dishonorable discharge, the letter states, as well as loss of all pay and allowances, and imprisonment.
Lakin is an Army physician refusing to treat soldiers in wartime, lower than a pregnant roller skate.
How different is this awesome act of ‘conduct becoming’ an officer and a physician doing his part in Afghanistan:
It’s not every day that Major John Bini, a U.S. military surgeon, dons body armor before going into the operating room. But he did just that after an Afghan soldier was brought in on March 18 with an unusual head wound—a nearly three-inch unexploded shell lodged in the patient’s scalp.
After realizing the foreign object was a live explosive, Bini evacuated the operating room, leaving only the anesthesiologist, Major Jeffrey Rengel, who put on body armor, to watch the patient. All electrical monitoring devices were turned off for fear of detonating the round, and a military bomb squad was called in. Using manual blood pressure cuffs and a battery-operated heart monitor to keep track of the patient’s vital signs, Bini operated with only Rengel in the room along with a member of the bomb team.
Lakin had written a letter to President Obama on March 30, saying in part:
I recently received deployment orders for a second deployment to Afghanistan. My orders included a requirement to bring copies of my birth certificate. I will provide a certified copy of my original birth certificate with common, standard identifiers, including the name of an attending physician and a hospital. Every day in transactions across the country, American citizens are required to prove their identity, and standards for identification have become even stricter since the terrorist attacks on 9/11. …
Please assure the American people that you are indeed constitutionally eligible to serve as Commander-in-Chief and thereby may lawfully direct service members into harm’s way. I will be proud to deploy to Afghanistan to further serve my country and my fellow soldiers, but I should only do so with the knowledge that this important provision of our Constitution is respected and obeyed. The people that continue to risk their lives and give the ultimate sacrifice to the service of our country deserve to know they do so upholding their vows to the oath of office and the Constitution.
Unless it is established (by this sufficient proof that should be easily within your power to provide) that you are constitutionally eligible to serve as President and my Commander-in-Chief, I, and all other military officers may be following illegal orders. Therefore, sir, until an original birth certificate is brought forward that validates your eligibility and puts to rest the other reasonable questions surrounding your unproven eligibility; I cannot in good conscience obey ANY military orders.
Oddly, and contradictory to prevalent Birther custom—which embraces terms of implied denial like “de facto” or “usurper” or “Soetoro”—Lakin addressed the letter in a way that acknowledges Barack Obama as his commander in chief, before expressing his doubts on the President’s legitimacy to be commander in chief:
March 30, 2010
The Honorable Barack Obama
President of the United States of America
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President:
I am not sure this would mean much in a court-martial or civilian court of law as evidence against Lakin’s claims, but it might.
Here is the “Developmental Counseling Form” he received from the Army, dated March 31:
Worried that a plot to kill police officers and kick-start a violent revolution against the government could be just weeks away, federal authorities moved to arrest members of a Michigan militia who called themselves “Christian warriors” as they prepared to battle the Antichrist.
“The time had come that we needed to arrest them and take them down,” U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Prosecutors have said that members of the Hutaree militia, who had trained themselves to make bombs and use firearms, planned to make a false 911 call, kill responding police officers, then set off a bomb at the funeral to kill many more. Federal officials said they began monitoring the militia last summer and that they believed an attack was planned for April.
Alleged ringleader David Brian Stone is among nine Hutaree members arrested in FBI raids across the Midwest at the weekend. Each of the suspects is being held without bond and they have all requested a public defender. Bond hearings are scheduled Wednesday for 44-year-old Stone of Clayton, Michigan, and other Hutaree members.
The woodland anti-government Christian militia group raided over the weekend, nine members of which have been charged with seditious conspiracy and a plot against police involving weapons of mass destruction, were preparing for the “End Times” when they would defeat Satan by killing anybody who didn’t want to “rapture” with Jesus Christ. In the meantime, they would build a secessionist state whose trained forces would pick off who they could of the enemy—who could be anybody, including you, but in current context, are local, state and federal law enforcement.
The outline of the current plot can be read at Talking Points Memo in a copy of the indictment.
The charge of seditious conspiracy carries a statutory maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, Attempted Use of a Weapon of Mass Destruction carries a statutory maximum penalty of life in prison, Teaching the Use of Explosives Materials carriers a statutory maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and Possessing a Firearm During a Crime of Violence carries a mandatory minium penalty of at least 5 years in prison.
DETROIT – Nine suspects tied to a Christian militia that was preparing for the Antichrist were charged with conspiring to kill police officers, then kill scores more by attacking a funeral using homemade bombs, federal prosecutors said Monday.
The Michigan-based group, called Hutaree, planned to use the attack on police as a catalyst for a larger uprising against the government, according to newly unsealed court papers. U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade said agents moved quickly on the group because its members were planning a violent mission sometime in April. …
According to the indictment, the group had been meeting and conducting military-style training exercises in the Michigan woods since 2008 to prepare for an impending war with its enemies. Members practiced building and detonating explosives and shooting firearms and built storage bunkers, investigators said. …
According to investigators, the Hutaree view local, state, and federal law enforcement personnel as a “brotherhood” and an enemy, and planned to attack them as part of an armed struggle against the U.S. government.
The idea of attacking a police funeral was one of numerous scenarios discussed as ways to go after law enforcement officers, the indictment said. Other scenarios included using a fake 911 call to lure an officer to his or her death, killing an officer after a traffic stop or an attacking the family of a police officer. …
After the attacks, the group allegedly planned to retreat to “rally points” protected by trip-wired improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, for what they expected would become a violent standoff with law enforcement personnel.
The indictment says members of the group conspired “to levy war against the United States, (and) to oppose by force the authority of the government of the United States.”
This term “rally points” caught my eye, because yesterday I read on Irregular Times of a post to the Hutaree forum by a woman who was involved in the raids:
“They were catching others as they came to their rallying points, they broke into homes and took children and used the tasers on wives, my son who is 12 and I got out by crawling through the creeks behind our house. My husband and others are taken.”
That woman described it as a raid on the Michigan Militia, which was denied by a spokesman of that group, but there is an intersection of Hutaree, Militia, and Tea Party, apparent in this whole story.
The Hutaree’s idea of the enemy has a great deal of overlap with the enemy identified by the Tea Party movement: A mysterious New World Order that is being created by big government liberals. The Hutarees also share with the Tea Party the idea that current political discontent is a repetition of the historical pattern of the American revolution of 1776.
AnnArbor.com ran a photo of Hutaree and other militia members assisting local law enforcement in an earlier search for locals who had gone missing, at the specific request of a Township Supervisor:
The request for assistance was made to the Michigan Militia Corps Wolverines, but it shows the relationship between the militia movement and local authorities, and with other right wing groups, is more complex than the indictments indicate.
Michigan Militia leader Jimmy Schiel, who organized the search help in February and March, AnnArbor.com reported, “worked closely with Hutaree members on both occasions.”
Right after the federal raids, another militia member was contacted by the Hutaree for help:
Matt Savino, a member of the Lenawee County Volunteer Militia, said he met with a group of Hutaree members about 11 p.m. Saturday outside an Adrian convenience store. Savino said a Hutaree member had called him and said “there’s an emergency” and he needed to talk, but didn’t specify what it was about.
Savino and two other members from his unit met with the man, who was accompanied by three other men, two women and a young child. The man told Savino federal law enforcement agents had raided his Lenawee County home and had already taken five Hutaree members into custody in the Ann Arbor area, Savino said.
“I asked why are they getting detained and why are they raiding your house and they had no answer,” Savino said.
Savino said he encouraged the man to turn himself in. The man said, “That’s not an option,” and the group left, Savino said.
Among those arrested with the Hutaree was a member of the Ohio Militia, who trained with the Michigan Militia, Kristopher Sickles, known as “Pale Horse.” This is the winger who tried to organize an armed march on Washington DC last October.
The march on Washington never materialized in any significant numbers. But that video contained evidence that Pale Horse already was working with militia members from Michigan. As the Southern Poverty Law Center noted at the time, it concluded with a message for the Michigan Militia: “Thanks for letting us train at Camp Stasa with you guys.” Camp Stasa is a former Michigan Militia training site.
Pale Horse’s alleged involvement with the Hutaree is significant because it suggests an overlap between the Christian militia group and the broader militia movement. That broader movement appears since yesterday to have been trying to distance itself from the Hutaree, telling reporters that at least one Michigan Militia member, of Islamic descent, has been working with the Feds as they target the Hutaree.
It also is significant because both the timing and the script of the Pale Horse videos — “our country is in peril,” for instance, and the call for the march on Washington — suggest that Sickles may be motivated less by an “End Times” theology or a fear of the anti-Christ than by more immediate and political concerns.
Several media outlets report that the FBI conducted raids on Saturday night and Sunday morning at several locations in Washtenaw and Lenewee counties in Michigan. Homeland Security and the Joint Anti-terrorism Task Force are also involved in the raids on a Tea Party Compound.
The Michigan Militia has an Open Carry Tea Party event planned for April 10:
ADRIAN, Mich. (WXYZ) – The FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the Joint Terrorism Task Force are all involved in raids around Adrian that may be connected to a militia group.
The FBI conducted multiple raids throughout Saturday and into Sunday, with one of them centered on a property where known members of a militia live. The land is owned by a man who lives in a house on the property. His sons live in two mobile homes that are also on the property. Saturday’s raids were concentrated on those mobile homes. …
Federal agents will not comment on the investigation, only saying that they are serving a number of search warrants and that the warrants are sealed. Action News has learned that an unknown number of arrests have also been made. An unconfirmed report indicated that at least six people were arrested coming into Michigan from Ohio.
Members of a number of militia groups say that the raids are connected to raids in Indiana and Ohio. However, the FBI has not confirmed that.
The report obviously does not mention the Tea Party, and neither did another from AnnArbor.com, which pointed to a Michigan cell of a Christian militia called Hutaree.
Local Michigan militia member Jimmy Schiel said he was told five people were arrested – including one known member of Hutaree. Schiel said the five were reportedly arrested during a raid at a service in the Ann Arbor area for a Hutaree member who died recently. Schiel was told about eight Hutaree members were present. Schiel, who said he was invited but did not attend, spoke to a Hutaree member who was at the service, he said.
FBI raids Tea Party Compound.

FBI raids Tea Party Compound.
annarborchronicle.com —
Several media outlets report that the FBI conducted raids on Saturday night and Sunday morning at several locations in Washtenaw and Lenewee counties in Michigan. Homeland Security and the Joint Anti-terrorism Task Force are also involved in the raids on a Tea Party Compound.
It remains to be seen if there is a genuine connection, but the Tea Party movement is riddled with this patriot militia, sovereign citizen type extremism, which they keep trying to deny.
Seven people have been arrested for allegedly selling pipe bombs in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, Fox News has learned.
The arrests and raids in Michigan and Indianapolis are related to alleged militia activity in the region, but are not related to international terrorism. There is not a current threat to the public, according to a law enforcement source.
Whew, it’s not international terrorism. It’s just the next Oklahoma City.
I don’t really mean that, but, you know, only sometimes…
Joseph Farah of World Nut Daily endorsed secession this week. What does he think would be so good about it? It would deprive “statists” of our very lives.
The problem, of course, is that statists know their country wouldn’t last a month without all the productive people who make up non-statist America. Statism only works by bleeding people, preying on them, leeching off them, coercing them, taxing them and oppressing them. The statists know very well that non-statists have nowhere else to go – and that’s the way the statists like it. That’s the way they need it.
Politijabber gentrfam wanted to see how Farah’s wishful thinking held up:
Okay, let’s carve the country into two states dividing it by red and blue. The blue country will be, obviously, a weird split country. Blue would get New York, Massachusetts, California, etc.
At the BEA you can draw a map of the US by GDP. Florida, Georgia, Texas and North Carolina are in the top ten by GDP and Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire are in the bottom quintile. (Who gets Ohio?)
You can also download a chart of the real GDP (in 2000 dollars) of each state. My back of the envelope calculation (I gave Red Florida, Indiana, and Ohio, but I kept Nevada in Blue) shows:
Red – 5,104,160
Blue – 6,417,415
That’s in millions, so Blue has an economy about $1.3 trillion bigger than Red.
New York has never gotten more than 93 cents back of every tax dollar pays. In 2005, it was 79 cents
Mass has gotten a cent or two more than the dollar it pays, but it is now down to 82 cents.
Ditto California – down to 78 cents.
Of the top 10 states that are paying more in taxes than they are getting back, every one of them voted for Obama. New Hampshire, Nevada and Colorado would have to choose which new country they wanted to be in, though, since none are solidly blue.
Of the top 10 “leeches,” 8 were red. DC and New Mexico got more back than they put in. I assume DC would go to the blue country.
The top two shades of green are above the national median income for households. Of red states, only Alaska, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, and Virginia are above the median.
Yeah, secession sounds great, Farah, you go right ahead.
We’ll miss you Texas. Well, we’ll miss you Austin, Texas. You were pretty cool. Maybe we can get entry visas for SXSW?
TollandRCR added:
Excellent analysis and interpretation, far beyond the mental capacity of the secessionists.
A slightly different picture of the U.S. comes if you adjust the real GDP for population. Select “Per capita real GDP” from the pull-down menu under “Statistic.” New Hampshire comes out much better, and Vermont is also better. Maine is still poor. On the other hand, some of the red states with large populations drop significantly when population is taken into account. Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina drop out of the Top Ten, and FL and GA move into the second-poorest category.
Dear God, Please Give These People Their Own Country.
His belief that that day is imminent has led Pray to a group called Oath Keepers [1], one of the fastest-growing “patriot” organizations on the right. Founded last April by Yale-educated lawyer and ex-Ron Paul aide Stewart Rhodes, the group has established itself as a hub in the sprawling anti-Obama movement that includes Tea Partiers, Birthers, and 912ers. Glenn Beck, Lou Dobbs, and Pat Buchanan have all sung its praises, and in December, a grassroots summit [2] it helped organize drew such prominent guests as representatives Phil Gingrey [3] and Paul Broun [4], both Georgia Republicans.
There are scores of patriot groups, but what makes Oath Keepers unique is that its core membership consists of men and women in uniform, including soldiers, police, and veterans. At regular ceremonies in every state, members reaffirm their official oaths of service, pledging to protect the Constitution—but then they go a step further, vowing to disobey “unconstitutional” orders from what they view as an increasingly tyrannical government. …
Now Pray is both a Birther and a Truther. He believes he is following an illegitimate, foreign-born president in a war on terror launched by a government plot—9/11. He admires soldiers like Army reservist Major Stefan Frederick Cook, who volunteered for a deployment last May and then sued to avoid it—claiming that Obama is not a natural-born citizen and is thus unfit for command. Pray himself had been eager to go to Iraq when his own unit deployed last June, but he smashed both knees falling from a crane rig and the injuries kept him stateside. In September, he was demoted from specialist to private first class—he’d been written up for bullshit infractions, he claims, after seeking help for a drinking problem. His job on base involves operating and maintaining heavy machinery; the day before we met, he and his fellow “undeployables” had attached a snowplow to a Humvee, their biggest assignment in a while. He spends idle hours at the now-quiet base researching the New World Order and conspiracies about swine flu quarantine camps—and doing his best to “wake up” other soldiers.
Pray isn’t sure how to do this and still cover his ass. He talks to me on the record and agrees to be photographed, even as he hints that the CIA may be listening in on his phone. Although I met him through contacts from the group’s Facebook page, Pray, fearing retribution, keeps his Oath Keepers ties unofficial. (Rhodes encourages active-duty soldiers to remain anonymous, noting that a group with large numbers of anonymous members can instill in its adversaries the fear of the unknown—a “great force multiplier.”) For a time, Pray insisted we communicate via Facebook (safer than regular email, he claims). Driving me from the mall back to my motel, he takes a new route. He says unmarked black cars sometimes trail him. It sounds paranoid. Then again, when you’re an active-duty soldier contemplating treason, some level of paranoia is probably sensible. …
Oath Keepers collaborates regularly with like-minded citizens groups; last Fourth of July, Rhodes dispatched speakers to administer the oath at more than 30 Tea Party rallies across America. At last fall’s 9/12 march on Washington, he led a contingent of Oath Keepers from the Capitol steps down to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Afterward, Oath Keepers cohosted a banquet with the hawkish Gathering of Eagles. This February, a member of the group organized a Florida Freedom Rally featuring Joe the Plumber and conservative singer Lloyd Marcus. (Sample lyrics [14]: Mr. President! Your stimulus is sure to bust / it’s just a socialistic scheme / The only thing it will do / is kill the American Dream.) …
Much of this is familiar rhetoric, part of a continuous strain in American politics that reemerged most recently during the 1990s. Back then, a similar combination of recession and Democratic rule led to the rise of citizen militias, the Posse Comitatus movement, and Oath Keepers-type groups like Police & Military Against the New World Order. But those groups had little reach. Nowadays, through the power of YouTube and social networking, and with a boost from the cable punditry, Oath Keepers can reach millions and make its message part of the national conversation—furthering the notion that citizens can simply disregard a government they loathe. “The underlying sentiment is an attack on government dating back to the New Deal and before,” says author Neiwert. “Ron Paul has been a significant conduit in recent years, but nothing like Glenn Beck and Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin—all of whom share that innate animus.”
Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. thinks Prime Ministers Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and Yulia Tymoshenko of Ukraine stand ready to support Taitz’s efforts at overturning the 2008 presidential election in the United States, advocating sedition among the United States military, and calling for armed American citizens to take to the streets of the nation’s capital, invade the White House, and remove the American President in chains, or some such:
Birther Queen Orly Taitz claims the support of world leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister
Yulia Timoshnko, prime minister of Ukraine has joined Prime minister of Israel and other World and National Leaders as my friend on Facebook, showing support to my plight as a dissident against illegitimate oppresive Obama regime.
I encourage this direction, Orly. Trying to get fellow citizens to overturn the government is only sedition and, since the 1950s, the United States has been extremely tolerant of seditious behavior. Treason is much more serious, so keep it up! We may see you deported yet. I only wish, but alas, as a sane person would know, Israel and Ukraine* are not going to involve themselves in Birfoonish attempts to remove the President of the United States from office. But keep trying. There are a lot of other countries out there. I suggest Russia and China next. Publicity like you wouldn’t believe.
John Charlton of the Post & Email is asking for a visit. You can help make sure he gets one.
The natural law accords no right or respect for a usurper. He can, by the natural right, be removed from power by any means, peaceful or violent. In fact, it would be an act of heroism and patriotism to arrest him; nor can I deny that according to the great thinkers on this subject that it would not be a crime to use even lethal force to do so. But as a Christian I pray for, exhort and encourage peaceful means, even though I recognize that no crime can be committed to remove Obama, precisely because to remove a usurper from power is the duty of every patriot, and if done so for that reason is never a crime before God or men.
For similar reasons, such an action is not “vigilantism,” because that crime consists of taking authority into one’s own hands when authorities exist.
But now with the open takeover of our Federal Government by Socialists and Islamists, there is no line of defense left but the common man. If we do not take up arms and start a counter-revolution, the nation is lost.
We the People need to set a date and march on Washington, D.C. with arms and take back the government.
What a commie this guy is:
“Such an action must include the arrest, trial and conviction of all conspirators in the usurpation, both in the White House, in Congress, and in the Courts. It also must mean the confiscation of the property of all who supported the usurpation, both that of the Democratic Party and of the corporations, law firms, unions and private citizens who financially supported the takeover of the government. They are alone responsible for the trillions of national debt Obama has added to the Treasury; it is only right that their assets be seized to pay it back.”
Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq., in an interview with what some regard as the Russian propaganda services network, “Russia Today,” speaks for the American Tea Party movement before patriotically denying the legitimacy of the head of the United States government:
Fortunately, the interviewer was better informed than Orly on that matter.
In the interview, Taitz also claims that 99% of ‘Baggers are Birthers. That’s even higher than indicated by a recent California poll. But she also said the 9/12 ‘Bagger protest in DC could have had as much as 4.5 million people, which is entirely false. So, you always have to keep in mind that Orly Taitz says anything that pops into her empty head.
Imagine If an Arab or Islamic person with military training, who referred to himself as a terrorist and made several videos calling for the downfall of the U.S. government, was charged with raping a 7 year old? Can you imagine the uproar the Fox News would make? Now imagine that police found a grenade launcher in his house, connections to explosives dealers and bomb sniffing dogs determined that he was storing explosives. What if he said he joined the military for “training and (to) become one of those domestic terrorists that you’re so afraid of from the DHS reports.”
The problem is Charles Dyer, the man accused of raping a 7-year-old girl, isn’t Arab or Islamic. He is however, a self-proclaimed domestic terrorist closely who is charged with possessing a high powered grenade launcher stolen from a military facility. Dyer’s ideas and background are quite different than those of Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda, but they are quite similar to those of notorious American domestic terrorists, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. …
Despite the warning signs that Dyer showed, he only got any media attention or the attention of law enforcement, after he was accused of raping a 7-year-old girl. He proclaimed himself a domestic terrorist on YouTube and attempted to recruit ex-military and police men into his movement. Despite the horrible crime he was accused of and his role in the popular Right-Wing Tea Party, he has received little attention from the mainstream media. Dyer was clearly influenced by Fox News, as he did a video segment on Fox News resident lunatic birther, Dr. Orly Taitz. …
While Fox has been extremely anti-terror when it comes to Muslims, they turn a blind eye to the potential right wing terrorists in the in the mold of Timothy McVeigh that associate with the Fox News sponsored Tea Party events. McVeigh and Dyer were motivated by the same factors that are motivating the Fox news endorsed Tea Party movement: racism, a desire for guns, and a hatred for taxes and anything they perceive as socialism. …
So if we are going to be on the look out for possible extremist/terrorist types. We should not only check for Muslims who subscribe to radical Islam, but we should check for people who listen to Glenn Beck and Ann Coultier. Lunatics come from all sorts of religions, political parties and races. If we are going to profile for lunatics out of one background, we might as well start with the right wing. White supremacists have been infiltrating the military for some time now, according to the New York Times, and with a Black President, they pose more of a threat than ever.
Tea Party Activist And Senate Candidate: ‘If We Don’t See New Faces, I’m Cleaning My Guns And Getting Ready For The Big Show’
Richard Behney, an Indiana Tea Party activist and candidate for the Republican nomination for Senate against Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh, made a striking pronouncement at a meeting late last year of the “Evansville 2nd Amendment Patriots”: That if new people don’t get elected to Congress in 2010, he’ll be getting out his guns to face down the American government. …
“I believe personally, we’re at a crossroads. We have one last opportunity. And I believe 2010 is it. All right? And we can do it with our vote. And we can get new faces in, whether it’s my face or not, I pray to God that I see new faces. And if we don’t see new faces, I’m cleaning my guns and getting ready for the big show. And I’m serious about that, and I bet you are, too. But I know none of us want to go that far yet, and we can do it with our vote.”
This is what Chalice of Patriot’s Heart Network had to say about the President of the United States on Sunday night:
Do I think he’s actually a Muslim. You know I don’t know what his faith is. And um, I think that the key that I do not like Obama for is the way that he is destroying… mmmm… picking, on one hand, on some faiths and isolating others. And, uh, I have great reservations for what he’s doing and I do believe he’s a terrorist, myself. I don’t like him and I don’t trust him and I don’t wanna look at him.
If that’s a patriot’s heart, I’d hate to think what a traitor’s heart is like.
MIAMI (Reuters) – A federal court judge sentenced a Florida man to three years in prison on Friday for threatening to kill President Barack Obama in an e-mail that said “the blood of Obama will run down the streets.”
Nathan Wine, 21, admitted to the judge in Tampa in August that he sent the threatening e-mail to the U.S. Army Recruiting Command on November 5, 2008, the day after Obama won the U.S. presidential election.
Wine, who had faced up to five years in prison, acknowledged in his guilty plea that he had meant the e-mail as a death threat, although he did not reveal a motive.
In his poorly spelled e-mail message, Wine said he would “not mind going behind bars for being a trigger man on this tyrant.”
“I will not rest until this tyrant of America is gunned down,” he said. “The blood of Obama will run down the streets of D.C.”
Seems light to me. He should have gotten the five.
