Do you understand the difference between Rules and Laws?  Laws are enacted in accordance with the Constitution, where the House of Representatives and the Senate concur on a Bill.  The Bill then goes to the President, who can sign it into…

Yesterday, in the early afternoon, Kevin (K.C.) Massey, 48, was arrested in a motel room near Brownsville, Texas.  Massey was one of the organizers of Camp Lone Star, which has been turning back, or turning over to the Border Protection Service (BPS), illegal aliens attempting to cross the Southern border.  He was alone when the FBI and BATF arrested him,…

October 7, 2014

The question is rather simple, though the answer may be a bit more complex. However, with the current situation, both here and in Europe, an answer must be sought. If not, we have no means of understanding the severity of the problem, nor can we formulate a solution to the…

The Bundy Affair - Answering the Most Common Question

September 5, 2014

One question that is often asked of me, when the discussion involves the Bundy Affair is, "Was Cliven Bundy in charge of the militia?"  Though it has been addressed, to some degree, in my previous writings on the incident in Nevada, many still have not grasped it.

So, let's look at what happened when the entire matter went public.  Cliven Bundy,…

"No bended knee for me" - the Charge against Robert Beecher

August 30, 2014

The charge against Robert Beecher is not based upon the malicious allegations made by FBI Special Agent Stanley H. Slater that Robert Beecher was involved in an operation, known as "Operation Mutual Aid", to kidnap and torture a DHS agent.  In fact, it seems that the threat implied by Agent Slater has, well, just disappeared. The only charge is "Felon…

August 23, 2014

Last October (29, 2013), I wrote an article on "Appeasement - Giving in, inch by inch".  In that article, I addressed the appeasement, by the government, regarding both foreign and domestic matters.

At the time, it had not crossed my mind that we have a choice between "Liberty or Laws",…

Who will fire the first shot?  Who can fire the first shot?  Contemplation of these questions causes me to recall a situation, many years ago, when I was first confronted with the thought of aiming, squeezing, and taking the life of another human being.  It is not difficult to recall that memory, as it is one that will stay with me…

If a crime is being committed, and you assist in that criminal activity, you are guilty of a crime.  If you aid someone who has committed a crime, assisting them in the completion of that crime, you have committed a crime.  Of these two statements, there can be little doubt of those conclusions -- that…

July 24, 2014

Discussions regarding Treason are a common subject in the patriot community.  Most often, if not always, they refer to the provision in the Constitution that defines Treason against the United States, specifically, Article III, §3:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to…

Immigration or Invasion

July 23, 2014

The government and Mainstream Media tell us that there is a massive immigration going on at our southern border.  Massive, however, is, in any historical context outside of active warfare, a gross understatement.  Is it possible that what is happening at that southern border should be more appropriately described as an invasion?

First, we'll look at…

July 21, 2014

Prior to the Constitution, under the Articles of Confederation, each State (nation) had a right to defend its borders.  The Articles created a collective pursuit of defense of borders against the British.

With the ratification of the Constitution, there was a greater consolidation of the collective into a Union.  It also imposed upon…
