Security and Self-Governance by Ron Paul The senseless and horrific killings last week at a movie theater in Colorado reminded Americans that life is fragile and beautiful, and we should not take family, friends, and loved ones for granted. Our prayers go out to the injured victims and the families of those killed. As a nation we should use this terrible event to come together with the resolve to create a society that better values life. We should also face the sober reality that government cannot protect us from all possible harm. No matter how many laws we pass, no matter how many police or federal agents we put on the streets, no matter how routinely we monitor internet communications, a determined individual or group can still cause great harm. We as individuals are responsible for our safety and the safety of our families. Furthermore, it is the role of civil society rather than government to build a culture of responsible, peaceful, productive individuals. Government cannot mandate morality or instill hope in troubled individuals. External controls on our behavior imposed by government through laws, police, and jails usually apply only after a terrible crime has occurred. Internal self governance, by…

Below is info from the NRA regarding the attempt at stealing away your 2nd Amendment Rights by Team Obama.  Since OPERATION FAST AND FURIOUS did not work, this UN Small Arms Treaty is another attempt at making you a slave. Here is an NRA link to 5 videos that you need to see about this issue: U.N. ARMS TRADE TREATY http://www.nraila.org/legislation/federal-legislation/2012/un-arms-trade-treaty-negotiations-underway.aspx?s=&st=&ps= Below is clipped from last Fridays update, (link above),  from the NRA on the first week of the United Nations Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty discussions currently underway that is supported by Team BHO…NRA provides a hot link in last sentence to a “Write Your Representatives” tool. …”As we reported last week, for nearly 20 years, the NRA has fought tirelessly to oppose any United Nations effort to undermine the constitutional rights of law-abiding American gun owners.  That fight has grown more intense lately, as the U.N. and global gun banners have markedly stepped up their attack on our Second Amendment freedoms by including civilian arms in the proposed Arms Trade Treaty. As called for in a resolution adopted by the U.N. General Assembly in 2009, a conference began this week in New York City to draft the…

Judge acquits Hutaree militia members of conspiracy charges We have posted about this incident in the past because it is important to understand what our government is doing.  We have also questioned the evidence in this case.  The judge obviously saw there was not enough evidence and dismissed the charges.  David Stone Jr. and his son plead guilty to illegal weapons charges.  We are looking into the details of those charges. Here is the link to our past commentary on this case:  Interesting New Information About The Militia Raid In Michigan It is sad it took two years for this case to be adjudicated with some having to remain in custody during this process.  It is obvious that based on the dismissal, these weren’t the dangerous people the government claimed  they were.  They may be a bunch of goofy “Billy-Bob’s” talking trash, but that is not a crime. The larger point should be made here.  It seems that a pattern is developing.  The government  is very good at finding a bunch of “stupid” people to take the bait.  The idea seems to originate from an informant or agent of the government.  These “patsies” seem too stupid to see they are being…

by Chuck Baldwin On the heels of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), otherwise known as the “Indefinite Detention Act,” comes another draconian bill designed to give the federal government the power to turn American citizens into enemies of the state for virtually any reason it deems necessary. Stephen D. Foster, Jr. has the story. “Congress is considering HR 3166 and S. 1698 also known as the Enemy Expatriation Act, sponsored by Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Charles Dent (R-PA). This bill would give the US government the power to strip Americans of their citizenship without being convicted of being ‘hostile’ against the United States. In other words, you can be stripped of your nationality for ‘engaging in, or purposefully and materially supporting, hostilities against the United States.’ Legally, the term ‘hostilities’ means any conflict subject to the laws of war but considering the fact that the War on Terror is a little ambiguous and encompassing, any action could be labeled as supporting terrorism.” Foster goes on to say, “I hope I’m wrong, but it sounds to me like this is a loophole for indefinitely detaining Americans. Once again, you just have to be accused of supporting hostilities which could be…

On the topic of Lincoln…as was mentioned in our last meeting, a good book to read is “The Real Lincoln” by Thomas DiLorenzo. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgH_NlbM0eM]

In this video, Ron Paul talks about the concept of “blowback”.  It is something that all of the other presidential candidates don’t talk about.  Instead, we hear them spout off about “American exceptionalism” when it comes to our foreign policy.  There is no doubt that America is exceptional.  But is because of the diverse hardworking innovative Americans, NOT the government. Posting this video is in no way an endorsement of any candidate.  The Rock River Patriots do not endorse candidates. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8NhRPo0WAo]

This bill has passed the Senate.   Call your Representative and tell them to vote against this bill until the provisions that will give clear congressional support and authorization for indefinite military detention and military trial of American citizens is removed from the bill.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anjVgWNzQnk] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKaTxjxnYfE] U.S. Senate Votes for Indefinite, Unconstitutional Detention All the Senators who voted for this legislation are traitors to the Constitution and the people they represent.  Wisconsin residents should be very upset to know Senator Ron Johnson voted for this bill.  Call your representatives in the House and tell them to vote against this bill.
