Those Of Us Who Have "Been There" Have a Duty

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


A Little History Lesson

For those of you who are too young to remember, there was once a country called the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. It began in 1918, with the Russian Revolution, and it ended in 1991 with the fall of the USSR. During its existence, it was responsible for the brutal murder of millions of its citizens. It was the first country to espouse communism; the first country to ban religion, and openly stated its intent to establish communist rule over the entire world.

In opposition to the USSR was the United States. Millions of American men served in our armed forces opposing communism. We were taught to love freedom. We were also taught that we were the only hope for those enslaved by the wickedly evil and murderous communist governments of the world.  We engaged in a so called “Cold War” with the USSR, and other communist countries, for 50 years. Many lives were lost.  Some of the proxy wars between the United States and the communist countries we opposed you may have been told about: Korea, Vietnam, El Salvador, and dozens of other places throughout the world.   Good men died.

Not so good men at home protested us, called us names, aided our enemies, and claimed they were superior due to their suposed “intelligence”. They were social outcasts. They bombed government buildings, killed police officers, and committed terrorist acts. Some of them went to jail. Unfortunately, some also went to congress.

During the Cold War, I served on three nuclear submarines. During the long patrols we endured on those submarines, many of us listened to Radio Moscow. I played really cool music, and was a source of  connection to the outside world. We were well aware that the content of radio Moscow was vetted by the Communist Party prior to broadcast, and we often laghed at the outlandish, audacious and repetitive propaganda they sent over the airwaves. In a way, it was similar to our fathers laughing at Axis Sallie or Tokyo Rose.

We also learned something; the enemy was constantly subjected to fear and brainwashing through state sponsored radio, and the radio station had to continually engage in fear based lies instead of broadcasting the truth. Fear unified the people. Lies helped reassure them. 

After I served my time in the Navy, I was Honorably Discharged, and went home. I went to college, built a career in law enforcement, and spent 20 years in it. I married, had children, and did my best to raise my kids as Americans who are proud of the freedom and liberty we all enjoy as citizens of the best country on Earth.

I also witnessed, with my own eyes, the horrific scenes of the Oklahoma City Bombing. I was one of the first police on the scene that day. For those too young to remember, that was when a man named Timothy McVeigh kiled 168 people by parking a truck loaded with explosive material in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, and detonating it. Many of the victims were children. I saw the suffering of the children who lived; and I saw the agony of the families who lost children. I know only too well what the police who responded to the horrible events in Newtown are feeling, and I know how the experience will affect them over the years. 

 

Why I Am Taking My Stand

Now, with the times changing, I am forced to take a stand. I am witnessing my beloved country steadily trodding down the path to totalitarian barbarity, and I simply cannot stand idle and let this happen. Let me enumerate why:

a) During the Presidential debates I witnessed President Obama state that he wanted to ban “weapons of war” from the streets of America. I also witnessed a lot of irregularities in the election that I question.

b) After the election, many news outlets reported that one of the first calls made by President eelct Obama was to the United Nations. Apparently he wanted to restart the negotiations over the Small Arms Treaty.

c) In December, I watched in horror as the the school shooting unfolded in Newtwon Connecticut. I also noted that the media sensationalized the events, and did not even have the common dignity to leave the families alone while they were experiencing the shock and trauma of their losses. When I began hearing the term “gun control” almost immediately, I knew that this crisis was going to be exploited.

d) No sooner than the event happened, I witnessed multiple media outlets broadcasting calls for gun control. The calls were well coordinated, very similar in content, and contained much the same verbage. It almost reminded me of Radio Moscow a generation ago. A quick check of a few progressive sources showed that these were, in fact, the exact same  “talking points” that were being disseminated widely and in multiple outlets. 

e) I was also astounded to find out that Senator Feinstein had already drafted “gun control” legislation which had been waiting for over a year, and was going to be introduced when the Senate reconvened.

e) I also witnessed the media begin to attack anyone who may have been in opposition to gun control, such as the NRA. At one point, an attempt was made by the Media to lay the blame for the event on the NRA. This is also a tactic eerily similar to the propaganda tactics used by the former USSR.

f) These coordinated media attacks and talking points were later reinforced by the White House, who attempted to portray their response as a righteous response to an angry nation who was fed up with violence and wanted gun control.

My Conclusion

My conclusion, based on my observations, is fairly simple: We apparently have a media who is quite comfortable broadcasting talking points that are completely in line with the offical position of the White House. In addition, they also act as an instrument to attack any opposition the White House may encounter. This reeks of the beginnings of a state sponsored media, whose every action is apparently vetted.

The thought of a President being in absolute control of the media frightens me, and it should frighten anyone who is rational. This is the first step to tyranny. Banning firearms is the second step.

My Question   

My question to the President, and the media, is simple. What are your intentions? When everyone surrenders their firearms you will be completely free to act as you choose. Combined with the NDAA, and other legislation that has been rubber stamped though the legislative process, you can lock up anyone who is in opposition to you. So when do the roundups of your opponents commence? Who will you round up?

I also have a follow up question: who do you take your orders from? You cant tell me that the “majority of Americans” agree with you, because I work in the real world, and hear what people are saying. I know the people of the United States are not happy with the events we are witnessing, and many of us have life experience which tells us what the next steps appear to be.  

Final Statement

Since no one with any detectable amount of courage in the media will question you, I guess it falls to me, as an American citizen and veteran, to ask you what type of world you are trying to create. Will it be a world of freedom, liberty, and opportunity? Will it be a world of tyranny? Only you can make this decision.

      we all know what is happening, and what to do, all it will take is a trigger. i am praying that does not happen. God Bless America and long live the Constitution.

      Jesus once said….“if Satan has risen up against himself and become divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end” – Mark 3:26

      Sir I appreciate your concern and courage to note theses facts and to speak up. What is happening to your country and Britain is this:

      All the gun owners especially those with an religious background are going to be labeled “fanatics” or religious “fundamentalists” and “EXTREMISTS”. They will be compared to Muslim extremists.

      This is the Narrative of the “Global War on Terrorism” for 12 years. “GET THE DANGEROUS RELIGIOUS EXTREMISTS!” is the cry. This narrative has always been there but nobody cared to notice.

    • arpes

      Good overview. Please see 2 select quotes below:

      “If you don’t see Navy Seals on the battlefield, don’t assume for a moment they’re absent from the battle. They’ve merely gone stealth, underground (or underwater!), cloaked and engaged in covert measures and unconventional methods of warfare.”
      Chuck Norris

      “The time is now near at hand, which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their homes and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the conduct and courage of this army. … We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die.”
      George Washington

      This author still believes there is an East/West, Left/Right, Liberal/Conservative paradigm. You have been deceived. All the wars, conflicts and turmoil are a controlled(to a large degree) equation. When you have certain international financiers backing both sides of a conflict, it’s a global conspiracy. I didn’t learn this until 20yrs after returning from Vietnam. Oklahoma City, 911, 7/7 Sandy Hook, Aurora…all inside jobs. You’re being played like a fiddle. Since the author was in the Navy(I was Army) check out the USS Libery incident.

    • Caduceus

      The BIGGER problem is the one YOU have. You refer to him as “The president”. You should know better! You must first have the courage to deal with THAT problem, before you attempt to define and deal with the “other” problem!

    • Granite Prepper

      Amen brother!! It now falls to the patriots of today’s age to stand up and be counted…..

    • Wizard Killer

      I suggest the writer watch the documentary “A Noble Lie” about the OK City bombing and read General Benton Partins view on that whole fiasco. Also, do some reading about Operation Gladio. It will definitely turn your views to the realization that PSYCHOPATHS are running the US as well as the rest of the world.

    • MLafayette

      Well you are partially right. Thanks for being aware. The others on this post are communist stooges. We need to gather the energy of our founding fathers and do what is right.

    • MLafayette

      One more thing about paradigms, there is only one at work in this world. The PTB are total committed communists and if you can’t see that god help you. We are NOT a democracy we are a republic! Democracy is the first step towards socialism. Did anybody study anything outside of your public school education?

      • KBright

        Actually we are a Constitutional Republic.

        Treason has been committed,. Oath breaking is a criminal act. here are the laws that apply.
        Clause 2 of Article VI of the Constitution: “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”

        The Constitution of the United States of America IS the Supreme Law of this land, NOT those who serve within the federal government.

        The first law statute of the United States of America, enacted in the first session of the First Congress on 1 June 1789, was Statute 1, Chapter 1: an act to regulate the time and manner of administering certain oaths, which established the oath required by civil and military officials to support the Constitution.

        The wording of the Presidential Oath was established in the Constitution in Article II, Section 1, Clause 8.

        Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

        The Framers placed the presidential Oath of Office Clause BETWEEN beginning clauses that set forth the organization of the executive department and ending clauses that specify the contours of the President’s executive power. The President takes the oath after he assumes the office but before he executes it. The location and phrasing of the Oath of Office Clause strongly suggest that it is not empowering, but that it is limiting – the clause limits how the President’s “executive power” is to be exercised.

        The requirement for all Federal and State Civil officers to give their solemn and binding Oath is established in Article VI, Section 1, Clause 4.

        They are bound by their Oath to support the Constitution, and should they abrogate their Oath by their acts or inaction, are subject to charges of impeachment and censure. (Political Remedy for a criminal offense)

        Once given, the Oath is binding for life, unless renounced, refused, and abjured. It does not cease upon the occasions of leaving office or of discharge.

        Solemn: “Legally binding, Common legal phrase indicating that an agreement has been consciously made, and certain actions are now either required or prohibited”, “The other requirement for an agreement or contract to be considered legally binding is consideration – both parties must knowingly understand what they are agreeing to”
        .
        Bound – “Being under legal or moral obligation; to constitute the boundary or limit of; to set a limit to; confine”

        Legally Binding: Common legal phrase. Lawful action, such as an agreement consciously agreed to by two or more entities, establishing lawful accountability. An illegal action, such as forcing, tricking, or coercing a person into an agreement, is not legally binding. Both parties knowingly understand what they are agreeing to is the other requirement to legally establish an agreement or contract.

        Consideration: According to “Black’s Law Dictionary,” consideration in a contract is a bargained for exchange of acts or forbearance of an act.

        Require, Requirement, Required: “to claim or ask for by right and authority; Mandated under a law or by an authoritative entity. That which is required; a thing demanded or obligatory; something demanded or imposed as an obligation.”
        Federal law regulating oath of office by government officials is divided into four parts along with an executive order that further defines the law for purposes of enforcement.

        5 U.S.C. 3331, provides the text of the actual oath of office members of Congress are required to take before assuming office.

        5 U.S.C. 3333 requires members of Congress sign an affidavit that they have taken the oath of office required by 5 U.S.C. 3331 and have not or will not violate that oath of office during their tenure of office as defined by the third part of the law,

        5 U.S.C. 7311 which explicitly makes it a federal criminal offense (and a violation of oath of office) for anyone employed in the United States Government (including members of Congress) to “advocate the overthrow of our constitutional form of government”.
        · UN’s Agenda 21
        · Destruction of the Bill of Rights
        · Executive Orders contrary to the US Constitution

        18 U.S.C. 1918 provides penalties for violation of oath of office described in 5 U.S.C. 7311 which include: (1) removal from office and; (2) confinement or a fine.

        The definition of “advocate” is further specified in Executive Order 10450 which for the purposes of enforcement supplements 5 U.S.C. 7311.

        One provision of Executive Order 10450 specifies it is a violation of 5 U.S.C. 7311 for any person taking the oath of office to advocate “the alteration … of the form of the government of the United States by unconstitutional means.”
        Our form of government is defined by the Constitution of the United States. According to Executive Order 10450 (and therefore 5 U.S. 7311) any act taken by government officials who have taken the oath of office prescribed by 5 U.S.C. 3331 which alters the form of government other then by amendment, is a criminal violation of the 5 U.S.C. 7311.
        · UN’s Agenda 21
        · Destruction of the Bill of Rights
        · Executive Orders contrary to the US Constitution
        . Obama, Panetta, Dempsey giving the UN authority over the USA and over the US Military
        ETC

        President Truman relieved MacArthur because MacArthur did not support the requirements of the Constitution and did not faithfully discharge his duties. Precedent.

        Washington court-martialed Thomas Dewees, finding him guilty of two offenses: (1) not taking the oath of office… Another precedent

        The Constitution of the United States of America IS the Supreme Law of this land, NOT those who serve within the federal government or state governments.

        Treason:
        Clause 2 of Article VI of the Constitution: “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”
        The Constitution of the United States of America IS the Supreme Law of this land, NOT those who serve within the federal government.

        Title 18 US code section 2381 – Treason: Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
        · Those who implement(ed/ing) and/or assisting/assisted in the cover-up and implementation of UN’s Agenda 21
        · Those who implement(ed/ing) and/or assisting/assisted in the cover-up of Fast and Furious
        · Those who implement(ed/ing) and/or assisting/assisted in the cover-up of Benghazi
        · UN military forces on US soil
        · UN “overseeing” US Elections
        · Corporations, businesses, government bureaucracies, individuals assisting, supporting, implementing UN’s Agenda 21

        18 USC § 2382 – Misprision of treason: Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or to some judge of the United States, or to the governor or to some judge or justice of a particular State, is guilty of misprision of treason and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years, or both.
        · That would be the Senate, congress, and Boehner, Holder, Pelosi, H. Clinton, and the rest of that adminstration. Don’t forget that both Bush’s, and Clinton and thier adminstrations also committed these crimes and need arrest and prosecution.

        18 USC § 2383 – Rebellion or insurrection: Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
        · That would be “change” and using propaganda, lies, misinformation, and a *corporate media cartel.
        o Almost 100% of the mainstream media is owned by seven companies: Disney, NewsCorp, TimeWarner, CBS, Viacom, NBCUniversal, and Sony. They control everything: movies, television, all the major newspapers and news, and even music record labels.
        When one company dominates an industry, it is a monopoly. When a handful of companies cooperatively dominate an industry, it is a “Cartel.” This is what we have with our mainstream media – an elite group that is cooperatively and covertly controlling everything that comes through our television, radio, newspaper, and theater.
        o “It is the purpose of the First Amendment to preserve an uninhibited marketplace of ideas in which truth will ultimately prevail, rather than to countenance monopolization of that market, whether it be by the Government itself or a private licensee. It is the right of the public to receive suitable access to social, political, esthetic, moral, and other ideas and experiences which is crucial here. That right may not constitutionally be abridged either by Congress or by the FCC.” Supreme Court, Red Lion v. FCC, 1969}
        · Manipulating public opinion to destroy the US Constitution, our legitimate gov is treason.

        18 USC § 2384 – Seditious conspiracy: If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
        · Fast and Furious – Press Releases about it in EARLY 2009, David Ogden the talking head for Obama; Benghazi, Giving the UN ‘authority’ over the USA – using UN laws, UN here to ‘monitor’ OUR USA elections, UN taxing us, UN Military on USA soil

        Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof… assassination of any officer of any such government; or

        Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or

        Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof…
        · Giving the UN ‘authority’ over the USA, over the US Military – Obama, Panetta, Dempsey. UN & NATO with the assistance of this administration, the Bush administration, the Clinton administration, the Bush 1 administration…
        o The UN does NOT have any authority over the USA, nor does anyone serving in any branch of our legitimate government have the power to give them any authority over the USA – Not to decide OUR gun laws, tax us, watch our elections, use our natural resources, put Agenda 21 here in the USA, use our military and any of “our” Generals, etc. Any representatives who assist or allow it are committing treason – that would be Panetta, Dempsey, and Obama & his adminstration, Holder, plus H. Clinton, J.Napolitano, David Ogden, N. Pelosi, etc – who said they do NOT represent the USA, they represent the UN.
        o Obama said in a letter to Boehner, Panetta and Dempsey in front of the senate – on video.
        o Foreign laws and Shariah laws being used in US courts

      Sir.
      After reading your article, I draw one conclusion. Either you’re half awake, or half asleep!
      That you don’t see the future of your country. That the same people which were running USSR are now running the USA! Russian?(I call them chosenites)KGB officer employed by the Homeland security. Marcus Woolf STASI boss in ex East Germany consultant to the Homeland security (BTW another chosenite). So unless you’re fully awake, you will have another holodomor (inspired by the chosenites) in the US as it was in the USSR!
