We are Not a Nation of Laws Anymore: Obama Administration Sieges the Nevada Bundy Family Ranch

We are Not a Nation of Laws Anymore: Obama Administration Sieges the Nevada Bundy Family Ranch

“A free people ought not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.” ~ George Washington, First President of the United States

We are not a nation of laws any longer.  Instead, we are a nation of men.  The federal government says that the citizens must obey the law because “we are a nation of laws.”  However, the government does not feel it has to follow any of the laws.  Apparently, they are above the law.  For instance, look at the immigration laws.  Starting from President Obama and Attorney General Holder on down, they break the laws of the land right and left.  Not to be outdone, all of the federal agency leaders of the Obama administration feel they too do not need to follow the laws.  These governmental people obviously feel that they are above the law.

“If ever time should come when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.” ~ Samuel Adams

The Nevada Bundy Family Ranch

The Nevada Bundy family ranchers are being sieged by the federal government (i.e., the Bureau of Land Management, BLM), which is attempting to control them.  This has nothing to do about endangered desert turtles.  It has nothing to do about breaking land-right laws.  It has everything to do with control.  The errant Obama administration will start a range war so that the President can declare martial law.  Watch out folks!

“From time to time the tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

Massacre of the Branch Dividians

This brings back bad memories of the 51-day siege of the Branch Dividians Compound at Waco, Texas, in the spring of 1993.  This siege occurred when President Bill Clinton ordered Attorney General Janet Reno to attack and massacre cult leader David Koresh and 75 other men, women, and children.  This was a very bad action by the federal government on innocent, peaceful citizens.

“Most bad government has grown out of too much government.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

Murder of Randy Weaver’s Family Members

This also stirs memories of the 10-day siege by the Clinton administration in August 1992 of Randy Weaver’s compound in Ruby Ridge in the Idaho Panhandle.  The federal agents murdered Weaver’s wife and son.  As usual, the federal government was wrong.  That is why years later Weaver was able to win a multi-million-dollar lawsuit against the government.

“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it.” ~ Mark Twain

Mass Murder of Peoples Temple Members at Jonestown Guyana

It also stirs bad memories of the meddling U.S. Congressman Leo Ryan and 17 others under the approval of President Jimmy Carter went in November 1978 to Jonestown Guyana.  This 18-member delegation’s visit promulgated the mass murder by poison of 909 Peoples Temple members on November 18, 1978.  Nine others died including Congressman Ryan.  Four of the nine (Peoples Temple members) died with knife wounds.  Leo Ryan and four others died in a gun battle at the airport.  This is what happens when the government meddles into the lives of peaceful people minding their own business.

“There is no crueler tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of law and in the name of justice.” ~ Charles de Montesquieu

The 1946 Battle of Athens, Tennessee

In August 1946, the Battle of Athens, Tennessee (sometimes called the McMinn County War) was a rebellion led by citizens in Athens and Etowah, Tennessee, against the McMinn County Sheriff’s Department.  The citizens included some World War II veterans.  They were protesting the political corruption and possible election fraud of the local government similar to what we have with the Obama administration and the BLM in particular.  The battle resulted in some injuries but, fortunately, no fatalities.  The rebelling citizens forced the McMinn County government to disband, and they replaced it with a new government.

“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

Wrongful Incarceration of Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela had nothing to hide, but his country (South Africa) threw him in prison for 27 years simply because he was on the wrong side of the politics of those in control of the country.  President Nelson Mandela, after serving 27 years in prison as a political prisoner, cast aside hatred and anger.  Instead, he humbly brought together a fractured world through the uniting example that he lived and displayed.

“Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.” ~ Plato

Loyal American Citizens are at Peril of Orwell’s 1984

I have nothing to hide, but the current White House considers me an enemy of their corrupt causes because I am a constitutional conservative.  However, the administration, their party, and the errant mainstream media/press are making moves to take away our First, Second, and Fourth Amendment rights.  Hence, I am very concerned about the latest revelations by the National Security Agency (NSA) after the many lies they have made saying that they are not snooping on us ordinary citizens.  James Clapper, director of national intelligence (DNI), is a perfect example of an administration official lying to Congress and the American people on national television.

“We the People are the Rightful Masters of both Congress & the Courts, not to Overthrow the Constitution, but Overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” ~ Abraham Lincoln

Governmental Agency Shenanigans

Someone stated, “There have been many concerns voiced by the public in regards to privacy and constitutional rights in relation to the governmental surveillance that is currently taking place.  It is imperative for government agencies to have numerous tools at their disposal to research and gather information and Intel on potential terrorists and terror plots.  If you are not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide.”  Does this mean that we should support what the NSA is doing?  Wrong!

“The fate of good men who refuse to become involved in politics is to be ruled by evil men.” ~ Edmund Burke

Patriotic whistleblowers, not traitors.  Julian Assange and Edward Snowden are not traitors.  They are whistleblowers.  They alerted us of the criminal activities going on behind the scenes.  The Department of State (DoS) screwed the Benghazi whistleblower Gregory Hicks and ruined his career by making him sit at a desk in a dark corner somewhere.  If Assange and Snowden went up the chain of command to express their revelations, the DoS would have screwed them too.  When I had worked for a large aerospace company years ago, I brought to the attention of management some mischarging going on with a large government contract.  The company screwed the messenger, i.e., me.  Hence, I have nothing to hide, yet I do not trust the government at all because of what happened to me.  The law of the land is meaningless when those sworn to uphold it break it at every turn.  When those in charge break the laws of the land, the citizens are no more bound to follow the laws.  Therefore, Assange and Snowden did the right thing.

“The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry.” ~ Anonymous

A long line of governmental injustices.  The NSA shenanigans are all just part of the long line of injustices committed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Department of Justice (DoJ), General Services Administration (GSA), Secret Service (SS), Department of State (DoS), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Defense (DoD), and National Security Agency (NSA) to name a few.  Our messed-up national policies generate problems like the following:

Department of Justice (DoJ) Fast & Furious gunrunning fiasco, killings of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) border patrol agents, and cover-ups,

Department of State (DoS) and Department of Defense (DoD) Benghazi-gate attacks, cover-up, and taking revenge on whistleblowers,

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) incompetence on tracking the Boston Marathon bombers and failure to investigate expeditiously the Benghazi attacks and murders,

National Security Agency (NSA) meta-data gathering on over 100 million ordinary American citizens,

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) targeting of Tea Parties and other conservative groups,

DoJ errantly displaying racial favoritism on the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) case and investigating Associate Press (AP) and Fox News (James Rosen and his parents as spies) as espionage agents,

General Services Administration (GSA) spending wastefully on frivolous conferences and other ridiculous boondoggle expenses,

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) secret email accounts and unfair application of Eminent Domain laws,

Secret Service (SS) employing prostitutes while on presidential security assignments,

Census Bureau (CB) cooking the books regarding employment figures a month before the 2012 presidential election,

Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) screw-up of the Obamacare website rollout,

White House lying about Obamacare to get it passed,

Bureau of Land Management (BLM) bullying the Bundy ranching family in Nevada, and on and on I can go.

I can go on and on with the administration’s violations of the law and violations of the U.S. Constitution.  I have lived for nearly 72 years, but I have never been so concerned about the loss of our Constitutional rights and our Bill of Rights.  To see all the corruption in government, we should have more whistleblowers.  I consider them as patriots, not traitors.

“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government—lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.” ~ Patrick Henry

BLM vs. Bundy Family War in Nevada

Thousands of people and supporting armed militias are flocking to Clark County, Nevada.  Snipers are up in the mountain passes.  The range war has been going on for over 20 years.  This is another typical example of our governmental overreaching and overreacting.  As usual, the federal government is wrong by attacking patriotic, innocent citizens just because they want to control people.  The government people do not like it when citizens express and exercise their basic civil rights.  The government’s overreaction reminds me of FDR’s overreaction during World War II.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Overreaction

President FDR also violated the Constitution of the United States when he signed the executive order to incarcerate good Americans of Japanese Ancestry (AJAs) in relocation centers, which I call concentration camps.  The government stole the private property of the AJAs and treated them shabbily in these concentration camps.  Even today, I bristle at the thought that FDR did that to my ancestors, many of whom served admirably in the European Theater and were the most decorated soldiers in the U.S. Army.  Our government also stomped on the rights of these loyal American citizens.

Every time I read about what FDR did to my ancestors, as I stated above, I bristle—especially with all of the political correctness (PC) B.S. that goes on these days.  The AJAs did nothing as much as some of the extremist American Arabs/Muslims/Islamists (AMIs) are doing, yet they get a pass, but FDR threw my relatives into relocation centers, which I forever will call concentration camps.  Can you believe the American AMIs had planned a Million Muslim March on Washington, DC, on last September 11, 2013!  Unbelievable!  The AJAs were never disloyal to the United States of America.  In fact, the AJAs joined the U.S. military in droves forming the 100^th Battalion and the 442^nd Regimental Combat Team (RCT) and fought so valiantly in the European Theater that they became the most highly decorated American units in World War II.

 “No man who refuses to bear arms in defense of his nation can give a sound reason why he should be allowed to live in a free country.” ~ Teddy Roosevelt

The War will Begin Soon

None of those thousands of supporters of the Bundy family will fire the first shot.  However, because of the government’s continual use of the following three tactics, this will be a turning point in American history: (a) Cloward-Piven Strategy, (b) Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, and (c) Rahm Emanuel’s maxim to “Never let a good crisis go to waste.  You can do things during a crisis that you couldn’t do otherwise.”  I am paraphrasing Emanuel here.  One of the government’s armed personnel will purposefully fire the first shot that will promulgate the war.  Be prepared for President Obama to declare martial law.  This will be his opportunity to take control of the entire country with sheer power.  Let us not allow him to do this to the United States of America.
