			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin-bottom: 8px">November 16, 2009 02:32 PM EST (Updated: November 16, 2009 02:33 PM EST)</div>
<div>
<p>Norm Olson founded the Michigan Militia in 1994 in response to then-President William Clinton&#8217;s perceived tightening on gun control laws. Today, the Michigan Militia is still thriving, perhaps even more so than in its past due to the current economic struggles.  This past weekend, a function was help at Franks Stansa&#8217;s farm near Flint, MI in order to popularize their message and group.  The function came with a barbeque, carnival-like events, and a rifle firing range, and admitted children for free.  The conversation revolved around the tough state of affairs in America, with nearly all attendees railing against the government and the direction it is headed in.</p>
<p>Olson was a former Air Force who founded the Michigan Militia in the aftermath of the Ruby Ridge, Idaho and Waco, Texas standoffs between the federal government and individuals who had very opposing viewpoints than the government.  The trend in increased militia activities stopped in the early 2000&#8217;s, when a more conservative and gun-right friendly Bush administration took office.</p>
<p>However, since the Obama administration has taken office there have been about 100 new militias that have formed under the pretense of gun rights and protection of American ideals.  One such newly formed militia is Olson&#8217;s attempt to create an Alaska Militia.  He held an organizational meeting on Thursday the 12th in Nikiski, AK where he pressed upon the attendees the idea that a militia musted be formed and readied for action imediately.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff"><em>America</em><em>;  The above report is from another media source.  While the facts about Militias, of Constitutional &#8220;Rule of Law&#8221; concerned Americans, are  springing up all across America is true, this attempt to mislead Americans about them being primarily concerned about President Obama is ludicrous in the extreme.  The Americans in these Militias are concerned about the decades of Constitutional contempt that has incrementally chipped away at The Constitution itself and the destruction of our unalienable Rights over the last 100 years, mostly by Congress.</em></span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #0000ff">The Militias, as far as The Liberty Tree Lantern can ascertain, only see President Obama as an accelerator, a catalyst, of what several Congresses, Administrations and Judicial Activist Judges on the Supreme Court have done as scofflaws and treasonous enemies of The Constitution and the Rule of LAW therein.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #0000ff">In a near future post The Liberty Tree Lantern will provide a document that lists the Constitutional infractions to the Law that has been perpetrated by one or more of the three branches of Government over the last ten decades.  Stay posted for this vital report, which is being utilized to draft ‘combo’ State Sovereignty /  Health Care Right of Choice Amendments to the Constitutions of several States in the Union, including an Amendment to The Constitution of the State of Wisconsin, which Wisconsinites are working to have placed in a referendum during the next election.</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">In the meantime don&#8217;t let the main stream media convince you that the rise in Militias is primarily about Obama;  It is primarily about ten decades of tyranny and usurpation that has now formented into absolute despotism whereby the &#8220;public&#8221; school Government sponsored system, doesn&#8217;t even teach the meaning of freedom or the canons of The Declaration of Independence or The Constitution of the United (but Constitutionally independent and sovereign) States (Countries) of America.  Additionally, if that isn&#8217;t enough on its own face, as it is destroying our unalienable rights endowed to us by our creator, these usurpations have gotten so heinous that it almost led to the ENTIRE COLLAPSE of the American economy in the last quarter of 2008; which will entirely collapse somewhere between  1  1/2  &#8211; 2  1/2 years from today.  By enforcement of the RULE OF LAW, as written word for word, in spirit and intent, as it WAS meant by the Founding Fathers on the day The Constitution was ratified, especially, but not limited to,  the &#8216;enumerated&#8217; powers clauses in <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#A1Sec8">Article 1 Section 8 </a>as further supported in LAW by The Bill of Rights in The <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Am9">9th and 10th Amendments </a>to The Constitution, we will be able to restore our rights, liberty, freedom and rebuild our economy based on the tenets in The Constitution and, thereby, the vast majority of average American citizens will, once again, become wealthy (and with real money in the form of gold and other bi-metal coins per Article 1 Section 8 of The LAW written, established and ordained in The Constitution).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">  In addition, the fact that the &#8220;non-ratified&#8221; ratification of the 16th Amendment which turns on gains and profits and not the equal exchange of property as in payment in exchange for labor in employment is yet another issue amongst many.  And thus if you exchange the value of your labor for an equal exchange of property in the form of compensation, there is NO INCOME.  So, according to The Supreme Court, since there is NO INCOME, there is no requirement to file for income taxes.  That is the reason why the entire book of the Internal Revenue Service Code DOES NOT define the word &#8220;Income&#8221; because than the sham would be exposed in court almost instantly.</span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #0000ff">Do you even realize that according to The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution that States are separate countries?  The States are independent and sovereign countries that have formed a &#8220;Union&#8221; to support and carry trade with each other.  If you do not know and understand this, then you must read and deliberate about the clauses in <a href="http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/index.htm">The Declaration </a>and <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Preamble">The Constitution</a>.  And after you learn about these things you need to ask yourself;  &#8220;<span style="color: #800000">How come I wasn&#8217;t taught about these facts in High School?&#8221; And, You need to ask yourself; <span style="color: #ff0000">&#8220;How come the main stream media doesn&#8217;t convey these facts when they report on national matters involving the independent and sovereign States (separate Countries that make up The Union)?</span></span></span></em></p>
<h4><span style="color: #0000ff"><span style="color: #800000"><span style="color: #ff0000">We all need to be asking ourselves and our Government a LOT of &#8220;Why&#8221; questions!</span></span></span></h4>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Guess who else is a &#8220;devout&#8221; Muslim? </p>
<p>Either the guy in the following video is a complete and utter bald faced liar or he is telling the TRUTH that he is a &#8220;devout&#8221; Muslim.   The Liberty Tree Lantern reports, YOU DECIDE, IF HE IS LYING:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tCAffMSWSzY&#038;fs=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tCAffMSWSzY&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<h3><span style="color: #800000">Now are you prepared to call President Obama a complete bald faced liar or do we have a MAJOR deadly PROBLEM in The White House?  And, what about THE MEDIA and both major political parties?</span></h3>
<p>Weren’t people just about shot, before his election, for just mentioning his middle name because it “insinuated” that he was a Muslim?</p>
<p>Islam is a part of promoting “peace”?   You have GOT to be kidding me!  Hasn’t he read the Koran like a good Muslim?  Like the “devout” Muslim did, that just massacred thirteen “Infidel” American Soldiers and maimed over twenty more of our Son and Daughter heroes at Fort Hood, TX?  All &#8220;devout&#8221; Muslims follow the meaning and intent of the Koran, WORD FOR WORD.  That means, therefore, that they believe in &#8220;The Caliphate&#8221;; a religious theocracy that is to grow and expand through either conversion of all peoples to Islam or Murdering the rest who they call &#8220;Infidels&#8221;; such as the ones who worked in the World Trade Towers shown in the video.  Those are the marching ORDERS in the Koran.  Now that being said there are some Muslims who do not follow those bad henious parts of the Koran and I believe they are good peaceful people.  But they are NOT &#8220;devout&#8221; in the pure definition of the word.  Obama, according to his own words, however, is &#8220;devout&#8221;.  And if he get his way, WE ALL WILL BE SOON as he said;&#8221;we are a nation of Muslims.&#8221;  (Or was he lying?)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: #800000">I wonder if Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the &#8220;devout&#8221; Fort Knox Caliphate murdering  Muslim,  is disappointed that he hasn&#8217;t gotten to greet Muhammed yet with his 72 Virgins in tow?  <em><strong>Wouldn&#8217;t it be terrible if America graciously arranged the meeting for him, in a couple of weeks or so, and this happened</strong></em>:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center" align="center"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 0px" src="http://bibleprobe.com/muhammed-cartoon6.jpg" border="0" alt="muslim virgin cartoon" /></p>
<p>Pardon me but the above video of facts and truth about where President Obama&#8217;s loyalties lie and regards to his deep &#8221;devout&#8221; faith and &#8220;guidance&#8221;" really PISSES ME OFF.  How many Americans knew this BEFORE they elected him? </p>
<p>I shed more than a few tears during the televised funeral of our Fort Hood patriots today who defend our Constitution, our freedom, liberty and individual unalienable rights, from enemies both foreign and domestic,  who that DAMN “devout” Muslim killer murdered in cold defenseless blood on <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">our own American Army base</span></strong> where <strong>our Sons and Daughters</strong> should feel completely free and secure from any harm!</p>
<p>I have had it with Political Correctness, OVER Tolerance and Multiculturalism.  Either you are an “American”, and subscribe and immerse yourself in our UNIQUE “American” Culture like all of the immigrant families used to do when they came to America or you should be free to leave WITHOUT citizenship!  PERIOD.  If ANY PERSON in AMERICA can’t COMPLETELY and FULLY and DESIREOUSLY appreciate “MERRY CHRISTMAS!”, for ONE example, and <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Christian-Character-Institutions-United-States/dp/0915815702">The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States</a> </strong>as written by <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/ref=ntt_athr_dp_sr_1?_encoding=UTF8&amp;sort=relevancerank&amp;search-type=ss&amp;index=books&amp;field-author=Benjamin%20F.%20Morris">Benjamin F. Morris</a> in his 1864 book hot linked here, then they should be shipped out; Or, with regards to politicians for treasonous activities against the Constitution and the God given rights of each <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">individual</span></strong> American, hung.  I have had it with the destruction of our country and our AMERICAN principles by Political Correctness of the Socialist / Communists in academia, media and The US Government itself.</p>
<p>People, how long are we going to be playing around with these Democrats and Republicans who treasonously destroy the principles of the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution and contemptuously usurp power on a daily or hourly basis and foment divisions amongst us through the deceit of multiculturalism and OVER tolerance in lieu of assimilation like all immigrants used to do?  WAKE UP, PEOPLE!</p>
<p>Boy, I am really hot on this one.  Remember how almost the entire Main Stream Media kept on covering up Obama&#8217;s deep &#8220;devout&#8221; Muslim heritage and faith, with truth conflicting report over truth conflicting <strong>lying</strong> report before the election?  This is MADNESS!  Isn’t it interesting that the Republican Party didn’t point these events, clearly shown on the video above, out to us during the election process? And why didn’t the Republican Party with all of their financial resources check out Obama’s eligibility?   What the hell was up with that????    I DO NOT trust them either!  Something is going on and I smell a RAT…</p>
<p>I shall endeavor to vote for The Constitution Party, like I did the last time, at every opportunity!  Republicans are just better liars who perform the same function of Marching our fellow Americans  into utter <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">dependency</span></strong> on the path to the Socialist BIG BROTHER police welfare State.  According to reports the Republican Health Care bill isn’t much better than the Democrat one.  Either way the American public becomes “ENSLAVED” and individually IDENTIFIED and MARKED with NO PRIVACY, and ultimately, I submit, NO FREEDOM.</p>
<p>We THE PEOPLE have to get our COUNTRY BACK.  One Way or THE OTHER.  The RULE OF LAW, as WE wrote, established and ordained on our Federal Government, in The Constitution, MUST BE ENFORCED in its entirety!  That foreign born alien has got to go.  Perhaps it is time for America to arrange a little visit with Allah for this man who isn&#8217;t a liar (or do you think he was lying in the video above?).  Finally a Constitutionally supported action, defending the Constitution, our heroes and our fellow countrymen against domestic enemies, that I will gladly &#8220;volunteer&#8221; (as it states in the IRS code), to pay taxes for.</p>
<p>I noticed that a very &#8220;devout&#8221; Muslim, who by his own admission in the video above strongly believes in and is “guided by” the Koran and Muslim faith, who apologies at every nation stop and place he goes to for our unique &#8220;American&#8221; culture and our prosperity, spoke at the funeral of murdered American soldiers.  <span><span style="color: #800000"><span style="color: maroon"><em><span style="color: #0000ff">Wasn&#8217;t that Special?</span>   Speak of</em> <em>ironic</em> <span style="color: maroon"> <em><strong>juxtaposition</strong> to </em></span></span></span><em>the </em></span><em><strong><span style="color: maroon">max!</span></strong><span style="color: maroon">  Remember</span><strong><span style="color: maroon">; &#8220;</span></strong><span style="color: maroon">Not God Bless America</span><strong><span style="color: maroon">, God Damn America!&#8221;</span></strong></em><span style="color: maroon">  </span></p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 535px"><img src="http://img.timeinc.net/time/daily/2008/0812/obama_golf_1230.jpg" alt="" width="525" height="296" /><p class="wp-caption-text">ALLAH AKBAR!</p></div>
<p>Are you still wondering why President Obama hasn&#8217;t sent  in more troops and equipment into Afghanistan, to fight the Caliphate “devout” Muslims while our soldiers on the battlefield get needlessly killed due to lack thereof,  by now?  How many of our own died over there, in the last few months, while our honorable Generals and commanders wait on Obama&#8217;s decision? Hasn’t Obama got in enough golf games and gallivanting around the world with Oprah Winfrey pitching for the Olympics to come to Chicago and such important things as that, to make a decision by now?  </p>
<p><span style="color: #800000"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000">ONE MORE QUESTION &#8211; - -  HOW LONG WILL &#8220;FREE SPEECH LAST&#8221; before Youtube is coerced into pulling this video of TRUTH?</span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #800000">And, just as importantly or more so, how many Tories are there amongst us who want it pulled?  You should ask the people around you what they think of this video so that you can ascertain who are the Tories who live in your community, who your family needs to be aware of.  </span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #800000">The time of choosing is soon at hand folks.  It is a choice <span style="text-decoration: underline">none of us can avoid</span> with the advent of the coming collapse of &#8220;The MATRix&#8221; (our economy that only exists in our minds which have been Mass Behavior Modified to believe that FEDERAL RESERVE &#8220;NOTES&#8221; are worth 100 cents, when they are only worth 2 &#8211; 3 cents in the &#8216;real&#8217; world of reality).  The question becomes; Will you choose individual rights, freedom, liberty and OUR GOD, or will you choose the &#8220;Godless&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;green&#8221; hybrid of Socialism, Communism and Fascism that all three branches and both major parties of our Federal Government has in store for us as &#8220;The MATRIX&#8221; is soon to collapse?  </span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #800000">If you choose Liberty, you sure <span style="text-decoration: underline">better know</span> who the Tories are around you.  And, beware of them, when the time of choosing arrives, when Barack Obama gives us &#8220;The Final Ultimatum&#8221; between Liberty and the security of a ONE WORLD CURRENCY which comes with the final destruction of the Constitution and our &#8220;God Given&#8221; unalienable rights.</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #800000">Anybody who wants to keep the truth from you, is NOT your friend or a patriot, but a Tory.</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #0000ff">Lord, save our country!   - &#8211; -   Our &#8216;FREE&#8217;,,,    Country!</span></h2>

<p>Attacking Fox News and defending President <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=113562" target="_top">Barack Obama </a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=113562" target="_top"></a></p>
<p>is a family affair for Anita Dunn, the White House communications director who has blasted Fox as an arm of the Republican Party and <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=113347">talked about &#8220;controlling&#8221; the news media. </a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=113347">She&#8217;s married to Robert Bauer, </a><a href="http://www.perkinscoie.com/rbauer/">the chief of the political law group at Perkins Coie,</a> the Seattle law firm hired by the White House to defend President Obama in court cases challenging his &#8220;natural born&#8221; citizenship status in the United States and thus, his eligibility under the U.S. Constitution to be president.</p>
<p>Dunn is targeting Fox News with criticisms emanating from the administration that it isn&#8217;t even a news <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=113562" target="_top">network </a>, while Bauer has done his best to prevent the American public from seeing a wide range of President Obama&#8217;s records that could prove, or disprove, his eligibility to occupy the Oval Office under the Constitution&#8217;s requirement that the president be a &#8220;natural born&#8221; citizen.</p>
<p>Documents concerning Obama that the White House has refused to release to the public include his long-form birth certificate and his passport records, as well as other records that may possibly be relevant, such as records regarding Obama&#8217;s possible adoption by his Indonesian stepfather or college <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=113562" target="_top">application</a> and tuition financial aid records which would reveal whether Obama was ever registered as a foreign <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=113562" target="_top">student </a>.</p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=75858">Read &#8220;The Audacity of Deceit: Barack Obama&#8217;s War on American Values&#8221;</a></em></p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 195px"><img style="border: 0px" src="http://www.wnd.com/images/091018dunn.jpg" border="0" alt="Anita Dunn" width="185" height="198" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Anita Dunn</p></div>
<p>WND previously has reported that Federal Election Commission records show</p>
<p><span> </span>$1,352,378.95 in payments were made by Obama for America to Perkins Coie while the law firm was representing President Obama in various court cases which have sought to obtain the president&#8217;s long-form birth certificate to determine if he is a &#8220;natural born&#8221; citizen under Article Two, Section 1 of the Constitution.</p>
<p>Obama for America, Obama&#8217;s 2008 political campaign, merged with the Democratic National Committee in January and is now known as Organizing for America. This grassroots army that some refer to as &#8220;Obama 2.0&#8243; <a href="https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/dnc08ofamain?source=www_navbar">continues to solicit financial contributions on the BarackObama.com website.</a></p>
<p>Bauer, a Democratic Party partisan, has a long history of defending Democratic Party presidential hopefuls.</p>
<p>A biography for Bauer posted on the Perkins Coie website indicates he was general counsel to the Democratic National Committee during the presidential campaign of Sen. John Kerry and that he served as counsel to Sen. Tom Daschle, the Democratic leader in the impeachment trial proceedings of President Bill Clinton.</p>
<p>During the 2008 presidential campaign, Bauer functioned as an &#8220;attack lawyer,&#8221; threatening with FEC complaints groups wanting to run anti-Obama television ads.</p>
<p>Also during the 2008 presidential campaign, Bauer as counsel for the Obama campaign wrote letters <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D92PL7400">to television station managers and to Department of Justice Assistant Attorney General John Keeney</a> arguing that airing an anti-Obama ad pointing to the known association between Obama and Weather Underground radical Bill Ayers would violate federal election rules.</p>
<p>Also during the 2008 campaign, <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2008/may/01/nation/na-money1">Bauer intervened on behalf of Obama to block the California-based American Leadership Project from running a television ad campaign</a> over support from unions, including the Service Employees International Union.</p>
<p>Again, Bauer filed a complaint with the FEC alleging that the union-funded television campaign the American <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=113562" target="_top">Leadership</a> Project planned to run in Indiana against Obama was illegal under federal election laws.</p>
<p>In addition to representing Obama on eligibility cases, Bauer also is hired as legal counsel to represent the president in the criminal probe going on <a href="http://www.whorunsgov.com/Profiles/Bob_Bauer">into the activities of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.</a></p>
<p>Last year Bauer was at the center of the controversy over Obama&#8217;s decision to reverse course on his promise to accept pubic financing for his presidential campaign after a meeting with Sen. John McCain&#8217;s attorney, Trevor Potter, when Bauer claimed McCain did not want to reach a compromise on the issue.</p>
<p>The McCain campaign <a href="http://blog.washingtonpost.com/44/2008/06/19/obama_opts_out_of_public_finan.html">sharply criticized Bauer&#8217;s characterization of the meeting.</a></p>
<p>It was in June 2007 when Bauer authored a piece in Huffington Post <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-f-bauer/the-progressive-case-for-_b_51983.html">regarding Vice President Dick Cheney&#8217;s aide, Scooter Libby, arguing that liberals should not oppose a White House pardon because a pardon would draw President George W. Bush directly into the case, with the potential the &#8220;presidential fingerprints&#8221; could become politically explosive. </a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=113347">WND previously reported</a> on Dunn&#8217;s statements that Obama&#8217;s presidential campaign focused on &#8220;making&#8221; the news media cover certain issues by controlling messages through videos produced and distributed by David Plouffe.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Group asks police and military to lay down arms in response to orders deemed unlawful</h2>
<p>By ALAN MAIMON<br />
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL</p>
<p><strong><strong>(<span style="color: #0000ff">With comments by The Liberty Tree Lantern in blue</span>)</strong></strong></p>
<p>Depending on your perspective, the Oath Keepers are either strident defenders of liberty or dangerous peddlers of paranoia.</p>
<p>In the age of town halls, talk radio and tea parties, middle ground of opinion is hard to find.</p>
<p>Launched in March by Las Vegan Stewart Rhodes, Oath Keepers bills itself as a nonpartisan group of current and retired law enforcement and military personnel who vow to fulfill their oaths to the Constitution.</p>
<p>More specifically, the group&#8217;s members, who number in the thousands, pledge to disobey orders they deem unlawful, including directives to disarm the American people and to blockade American cities. By refusing the latter order, the Oath Keepers hope to prevent cities from becoming &#8220;giant concentration camps,&#8221; a scenario the 44-year-old Rhodes says he can envision happening in the coming years.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a Cold War-era nightmare vision with a major twist: The occupying forces in this imagined future are American, not Soviet.</p>
<p>&#8220;The whole point of Oath Keepers is to stop a dictatorship from ever happening here,&#8221; Rhodes, a former Army paratrooper and Yale-trained lawyer, said in an interview with the Review-Journal. &#8220;My focus is on the guys with the guns, because they can&#8217;t do it without them.</p>
<p>&#8220;We say if the American people decide it&#8217;s time for a revolution, we&#8217;ll fight with you.&#8221;</p>
<p>That type of rhetoric has caught the attention of groups that track extremist activity in the United States.  (Groups like those of King George III did in the 1770s? Or, like the Gestapo of the 1930s, or like the Secret Police of the KGB? When they shot and killed anybody who believed in freedom or liberty.  Oh,,, but no similarity here what-so-ever.  RIGHT!)</p>
<p>In a July report titled &#8220;Return of the Militias,&#8221; the Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center singled out Oath Keepers as &#8220;a particularly worrisome example of the Patriot revival.&#8221;  (Patriots who desire to protect our ‘individual’ unalienable rights and authority that we were given by God and as written into our laws in the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of the United States of America are bad?  And your point is? ? ? ?)</p>
<p>The Patriot movement, so named because its adherents believe the federal government has stepped on the constitutional ideals of the American Revolution, gained traction in the 1990s and has been closely linked to anti-government militia and white supremacist movements. </p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Has the federal government disobeyed our laws that we wrote in The Constitution of the United States of America?  </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">What do moral virtuous people generally do with scofflaws?  </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Anyone who considers listening to or giving <span style="text-decoration: underline">any credence</span> to the “three” people in the Freedom movement who are white supremacists are as crazy as the white supremacists and ought to be put “away” for the best interests and safety of the American public.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>The movement is blamed for spawning Timothy McVeigh, who bombed a federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995, killing 168 people.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">The bombing of a Federal Building, to restore Constitutional law is utterly stupid.  </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">No “Freedom Movement” group of any size or sense would ever do this.  </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">The real question is would the U.S. Government move to stop the ENFORCEMENT of Constitutional Law as it WAS intended in spirit and intent, word for word, by our founding fathers by way of Martial Law </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">or confiscation of firearms that are protected by The Constitution itself for the very purpose of ENFORCEMENT of those laws as a LAST resort by We The People who wrote, established and ordained them, by our authority bestowed upon us individually by God, in the first place?</span></li>
</ul>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not accusing Stewart Rhodes or any member of his group of being Timothy McVeigh or a future Timothy McVeigh,&#8221; law center spokesman Mark Potok said. &#8220;But these kinds of conspiracy theories are what drive a small number of people to criminal violence. &#8230; What&#8217;s troubling about Oath Keepers is the idea that men and women armed and ordered to protect the public in this country are clearly being drawn into a world of false conspiracy theory.&#8221;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">And who, may I ask, is protecting “the public”?   The U.S. Government who has been thwarting Constitutional LAWS for nearly ten decades and has since been incrementally robbing us of our individual liberty, prosperity and property in the form of taxation that has been literally destroying our economy for decades like millions of leaches and misquotes sucking blood out of our economy and from our families, to the point neither father or mother is left to raise our own children?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Is a Government who is leaching so much out of our economy that the public debt, that <span style="text-decoration: underline">soon must be paid</span>, that, over the infinite horizon is in the <strong>HUNDREDS OF TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS</strong>, not harming the American public more than the “patriots” who seek to protect our economy, our personal wealth, property and the individual freedom and liberty which created it?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Is the Government that usurped <span style="text-decoration: underline">our authority</span> as We The People who wrote The Constitution and its laws on THEM, that according to Article 1 Section 8 only Congress is To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures, protecting us, when they unlawfully through utter Constitutional CONTEMPT gave this authority to the owners of the cartel of twelve privately owned banks called The Federal Reserve “System”?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Is the U.S. Government protecting us when, through THE FEDERAL RESERVE “SYSTEM” they have created a real “MATRIX”, where money is NOTHING more than paper and ink, printed by the TRILLIONS and TRILLIONS out of thin air to the point that our entire economy is based on NOTHING but these little pieces of paper and ink?  Paper and ink that are nothing more than FEDERAL RESERVE “NOTES” as printed right on them, meaning that they are all I.O.U.s that promise to pay with “real” money in the future; in this case a future that will never arrive?  When, Federal Government and FEDERAL RESERVE “SYSTEM” are you going to pay us with the REAL MONEY to replace the Federal Reserve <strong>NOTES</strong> we have in our wallets and in our bank accounts?  When are we going to be paid with REAL, honest to God, money?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">In the last quarter of 2008 America almost had a system wide total banking collapse / failure.  This was solely the result of the U.S. Government not obeying the LAWs in Article 1 Section 8 as further enforced by the ninth and tenth Amendments in The Bill of Rights.  The printing of more FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES, that ultimately was the creation of “The Matrix” (our economy that only exists in our minds, as it is based on Dollars that we think are worth 100 cents when in reality they are worth 4 cents now 2 – 3 cents due to TARP, Corporate Bailouts, Giant Bank Bailouts, pork barrel politics, Socialist / Communist program “free stuff” in 2009 and before) is only going to make the collapse of “The MATRIX” far worse.  Do you call that protecting “the public”?</span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>Oath Keepers got some unwanted attention in April when an Oklahoma man loosely connected to the group was arrested for threatening violence at an anti-tax protest in Oklahoma City. Rhodes called the man &#8220;a nut&#8221; who had no real affiliation with his group.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">“<strong>How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!”</strong>  -  Samuel Adams.  Do you see people how the Tories pervert words and events to support Socialism , Communism, Fascism and &#8220;hate&#8221; of anything to do with freedom?</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Nonetheless, Potok&#8217;s group now monitors Oath Keepers on its Web site blog &#8220;Hatewatch.&#8221;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">The “hate” of the dark side of Socialism and Communism have <strong>MURDERED in Cold Blood </strong>well over ONE HUNDRED MILLION innocent people.  See:</span> <a title="Permanent Link to HOW MANY DID COMMUNIST / SOCIALIST REGIMES MURDER?" href="http://captkarl.blogivists.com/2009/03/15/how-many-did-communist-regimes-murder/">HOW MANY DID COMMUNIST / SOCIALIST REGIMES MURDER?</a> </li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Is the U.S. Government’s sure and steady march to Socialism and Communism, such as Universal Health Care, protecting the American public?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Social Security and Medicare Alone are <strong>$99 TRILLION DOLLARS</strong> in <strong>UNFUNDED</strong> liabilities, over the infinite horizon.  Is this how the U.S. Government protects Americans?  Where the hell is that money going to come from <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">in the next two or three years?</span></strong>  These two programs alone will destroy our economy, which is based on the fact that our minds have been programmed to believe that the dollar is worth 100 cents when in reality it is only worth 2 or three and threaten to take away everything we and our children and our children’s grandchildren will ever have.  This is the economic debilitating facts of Socialism (otherwise known as Government “free stuff”) throughout history.  How come you didn’t learn that in public school?  Perhaps, do you suppose, it is because the U.S. Government set the curriculum?  Do ya think?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Throughout ALL OF HISTORY of planet Earth, Government “free stuff” has been so expensive to “the public” that <span style="text-decoration: underline">EVERY SINGLE ONE</span> of those societies self destructed!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">I ask you folks, who is out to protect the American Public, the Patriots and whatever Militia we Americans have supporting American LAW or all three branches of the U.S. Government who are tearing it apart?</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Oath Keepers is not preaching violence or government overthrow, Rhodes said. On the contrary, it is asking police and the military to lay down their arms in response to unlawful orders.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">“When” the U.S. Government has pushed their Constitutional contempt and lawless behavior to the point, in less than three years time, that the entire MATRIX (Our economy based on Monopoly money) collapses, like it almost did in 2008 wouldn’t it be nice to have freedom and liberty again to produce the individual wealth and prosperity that the average common workingman did pre-1913?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Wouldn’t it be great if when The MATRIX collapses we wouldn’t have to have a Re-Revolutionary War, the active armed forces and police just lay down their weapons and allow “the People” to reconstitute the FULL POWER and EFFECT of LAW as written in The Constitution upon our Government, so that these NEVER happens again?</span></li>
</ul>
<p>The group&#8217;s Web site, www.oathkeepers.org, features videos and testimonials in which supporters compare President Barack Obama&#8217;s America to Adolf Hitler&#8217;s Germany. They also liken Obama to England&#8217;s King George III during the American Revolution.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">You mean to tell me that the Oath Keepers have minds of their own which are not totally controlled by either House of Congress or the Administration?  You mean to tell me that the Oath Keepers are allowed to think logical thoughts?  You mean to tell me that Oath Keepers are allowed to read the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution and keep the Oath that they made to America and especially our God.  Oh, my God!  Heaven forbid!  Call out the National Guard!  Oh yeah, they are the National Guard.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Just think how horrible it would be if every member of the armed forces fought for the cause of freedom and liberty and even our individual unalienable rights? Can you imagine the horror?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Actually to be honest, all of us have to realize that for us to get back our freedom we have to let the MATRIX completely collapse.  The MATRIX is how they control us.  We have to, unfortunately, let our economy collapse entirely or step it down, and rebuild it based on COMPLETE Constitutional LAW word for word, so that the vast majority of the common average American families can become wealthy, through very hard work, once again.  The nice thing is, with true freedom it won’t take very long.  Can you imagine how fast our economy will grow when almost everything we earn is ours to keep and spend the way we decide?  Think of the Trillions and Trillions that will be kept in our hands and in our economy.  It is almost too much to imagine as to how wonderful and wealthy we will all be after the five or so years of blessed hardship we will soon face resulting in prosperity for most everyone who isn’t lazy or just plain unlucky.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>One member, in a videotaped speech at an event in Washington, D.C., calls Obama &#8220;the domestic enemy the Constitution is talking about.&#8221;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Well,,,  Ah Duh!  Imagine thinking that?  What would ever give anybody a thought like that?  I mean it isn’t like Obama picked people like: Van Jones and Anita Dunn who are major Socialists / Communists as admitted in their own words.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>According to the law center, militia groups are re-emerging in this country partly as a result of racial animosity toward Obama.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Yeah, Right…  This is so ridiculous it doesn’t even make for a good joke.  The last thing the folks who believe in “true” freedom are is racist.  To say otherwise just shows the idiocy and ignorance of those saying it.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>It&#8217;s the &#8220;cross-pollinating&#8221; of extremist groups &#8212; some racist, some not &#8212; that is of concern, Potok said. As evidence that the danger is real, he points to several recent murders committed by men with anti-government or racist views.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">I do not know about these “recent” murders but I do know about</span> <a title="Permanent Link to HOW MANY DID COMMUNIST / SOCIALIST REGIMES MURDER?" href="http://captkarl.blogivists.com/2009/03/15/how-many-did-communist-regimes-murder/">HOW MANY DID COMMUNIST / SOCIALIST REGIMES MURDER?</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The U.S. Department of Homeland Security reached a similar conclusion in a report earlier this year about the rise of right-wing extremism. The report said the nation&#8217;s economic downturn and Obama&#8217;s race are &#8220;unique drivers for right-wing radicalization and recruitment.&#8221;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">So let me get this straight; it is considered a very bad thing to believe in freedom and liberty? People becoming concerned about their country turning toward Socialism, Communism and/or Fascism is a very bad thing?  People gathering and talking to stop the mounting and very costly U.S. Government tyranny and oppression enforced march toward Socialism, Communism and/or Fascism is a very bad thing?  Is that the point the above U.S. Government line is making?  You have got to be kidding me!  How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words! – Samuel Adams</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Speak of being a racist look at this</span>: <a title="Permanent Link to Obama Documented His Own Racist Hatred of The White Race in Books" href="http://captkarl.blogivists.com/2009/10/06/obama-documented-racist-hatred-of-the-white-race/">Obama Documented His Own Racist Hatred of The White Race in Books</a> <span style="color: #0000ff">and this was written by Obama himself for crying out loud!</span></li>
</ul>
<p>The homeland security report added that &#8220;disgruntled military veterans&#8221; might be vulnerable to recruitment by right-wing extremist groups.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">The members of The U.S. Military might be vulnerable to fighting for freedom, liberty, rights, and protecting The Constitution from all enemies both foreign and domestic.  Oh God forbid!  Can you imagine how terrible that is?</span></li>
</ul>
<p>That warning was enough to make Rhodes feel paranoid.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">These sorts of oppressive despotic behaviors of The U.S. Government would make anyone feel paranoid.  Be prepared to see the three guys with suits and dark sunglasses and concealed weapons who look like the Agents of The Matrix knocking on your door Mr. Rhodes.  They will be IRS agents to perform an audit to make an example and a lesson out of you.  But the vast majority of America will be with you, Sir!</span></li>
</ul>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re accusing anybody who opposes Obama of being a racist or a potential terrorist,&#8221; he said. &#8220;What they&#8217;re saying is, &#8216;We&#8217;re coming after you.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">I doubt that they will be just “saying” that, to any of us, for long.  Soon, I believe, they will be coming after us. That is the way of Socialism.  Ask Germany, Russia, Italy and China. Look how Washington is a War to shut down Fox TV NEWS programs.  Look at how they are trying to shut down bloggers through so-called “Net Neutrality”: </span><a title="Permanent Link to Washington To Close Internet To Bloggers, End Open Internet Freedom" href="http://captkarl.blogivists.com/2009/10/20/washington-to-close-internet-to-bloggers-end-open-internet-freedom/"><span style="color: #0000ff">Washington To Close Internet To Bloggers, End Open Internet Freedom</span></a><span style="color: #0000ff">  Heck ya they’re coming after us. </span></li>
</ul>
<p>The motto of Oath Keepers: &#8220;Not on our watch!&#8221;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">God bless you, Oath Keepers!  Thank You and you will not be alone should the U.S. Government take this where they demonstrate they are going by hiring people like Communists Van Jones and Anita Dunn the mass murdering Communist Mao Tse Tung lover who she turns to most.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>The message Rhodes hears from the government: We&#8217;re watching you.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Yeah, LITERALLY, in Real-Time. Thousands of Americans might be RIGHT NOW and certainly will be tracked and spied on through RFID tags that have been sewn into our clothing and shoes by manufacturers and tracked through 50% of American cell phones that are RFID scanner enabled, which transmits all sorts of location and ID data through the 3G and 4G networks ubiquitously throughout America and a lot of the world.</span>  See:  <a title="Permanent Link to Two Minute Warning to BIG BROTHER going ON-LINE:" href="http://captkarl.blogivists.com/2009/10/16/two-minute-warning-to-big-brother-going-on-line/">Two Minute Warning to BIG BROTHER going ON-LINE:</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Las Vegas police Lt. Kevin McMahill said his department&#8217;s homeland security bureau isn&#8217;t overly concerned with Oath Keepers at this point, even though Rhodes says several active-duty Las Vegas officers are members of the group.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Perhaps DHS already has the ID number of the RFID tags in the shoes and clothing of the Las Vegas officers and are tracking them through the RFID scanner enabled cell phones worn by the officers and those they come in contact with.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">How can you be worried about anybody who you can track in Real-Time on your computer or Smartphone wherever they go?  And then you can turn on the officers cell phones and use them as bugs, even if they are turned off as reported on Fox News video at the end of this post</span>: <a title="Permanent Link to Two Minute Warning to BIG BROTHER going ON-LINE:" href="http://captkarl.blogivists.com/2009/10/16/two-minute-warning-to-big-brother-going-on-line/">Two Minute Warning to BIG BROTHER going ON-LINE:</a></li>
</ul>
<p>&#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t classify Oath Keepers as no threat at all, but I wouldn&#8217;t classify them as a threat either,&#8221; McMahill said. &#8220;There&#8217;s always a chance an individual can step outside the boundaries of what an organization stands for and do something wrong.&#8221;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Yeah, I guess there always is a chance that an individual or an entire nation of The Free and The Brave could step outside of total despotic Socialist control, just like our families, friends, neighbors and Continentals did in the 1700s when our Government of over 150 years became usurping tyrannical over taxing despots.  Isn’t it terrible that We The People abolished our Government to institute a new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to us seemed most likely to effect our unalienable Rights, Safety and Happiness when our Government became destructive of these ends?  Just imagine how horrible we were and how horrible our country became and how awful it was that the average common working man became wealth, as the envy of the entire world, because of our awfulness until 1913 when the initial tyranny started all over again with the advent of the constitutionally contemptuous Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and the non-ratified ratification of The Sixteenth Amendment by the lying Secretary of State Philanderer Knox reporting such to the Administration and both House of Congress.  See the book called The Law that Never Was.  Do you know that we didn’t have income taxes for almost 150 years and during that period the growth rate of individual wealth for the average common workingman was far beyond anything ever known before or since in Earth’s history?</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Rhodes, a former firearms instructor, said he easily could have started Oath Keepers during the Bush administration, but his focus during those years was first on getting his law degree and then volunteering on the 2008 presidential campaign of Texas Congressman Ron Paul, a libertarian Republican in whose office Rhodes worked during the 1990s.</p>
<p>What Rhodes terms &#8220;the rise of executive privilege&#8221; during the post-9/11 years of the Bush presidency will in his opinion only accelerate with Obama in office. What&#8217;s worse, he said, is that &#8220;gun-hating extremists&#8221; now control the White House.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">You mean like Eric Holder and the majority of the Administration and Czars who are big Brady Bill supporters?  How about</span> <a title="Permanent Link to H.R. 45: Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009" href="http://captkarl.blogivists.com/2009/03/03/hr-45-blair-holts-firearm-licensing-and-record-of-sale-act-of-2009/">H.R. 45: Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009</a></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>Two things have happened since the Homeland Security Department and Southern Poverty Law Center released their reports on extremism: Membership of Oath Keepers has spiked dramatically. And Rhodes has had to do a lot of explaining.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Explaining what.  That officers and military want to support the LAW that We The People wrote, established and ordained on the Federal Government?  Imagine that?</span></li>
</ul>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re not a militia,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And we&#8217;re not part and parcel of the white supremacist movement. I loathe white supremacists.&#8221;</p>
<p>Oath Keepers doesn&#8217;t offer paramilitary training; nor does it have a military command structure. It instead has board members, which include directors in seven states and outreach coordinators to currently serving local and federal law enforcement and military personnel. The group&#8217;s state director in Montana, who goes by the name Elias Alias, has said Montana and other states should consider seceding from the United States in protest of the federal government&#8217;s conduct.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">I am rather disappointed.  I would humbly request the honorable members of the Oath Keepers to consider training their fellow countrymen in military tactics to help them protect our Constitution from all enemies and tyrants both foreign and domestic.  Is there a law against law abiding Americans, not scofflaws like those in either house of Congress or the Administration, to learn how to handle themselves in case of Constitutional emergency.  Really, would you please consider offering training courses?  Our Government is getting more and more Socialist every day through usurpation, corruption and utter constitutional lawlessness.  The Constitution cannot protect itself, somebody has to do it.  And considering what all three branches are up to, I am really concerned that we are going to lose our INDIVIDUAL God given unalienable rights, authority over Government and protection of our earnings and property from them in the face of TRILLIONS on top of TRILLIONS resultant from unconstitutional usurpation resulting in a heinous corruption and tyranny far beyond the bounds and scope of Government allowed by Article 1 Section 8 as supported the 9<sup>th</sup> and 10<sup>th</sup> Amendments of our supreme laws of our land.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Leaders of the group will come together in Las Vegas starting Oct. 24 for the inaugural national conference of Oath Keepers.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">The Liberty Tree Lantern looks forward to reporting on your noble assembly to our fellow countrymen that see a ray of hope for the cause of freedom, liberty and prosperity through the reconstitution of Constitutional Law, thanks in large part to the Oath Keepers.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Among the group&#8217;s other leaders is Dave Freeman, an Army veteran and former Las Vegas police sergeant who spent more than 30 years with the Metropolitan Police Department.</p>
<p>For Freeman, Oath Keepers has become something of a family affair. He recruited his niece, a former police chief, to serve as state director for Oath Keepers in Massachusetts.</p>
<p>&#8220;When you believe in something, you have to do more than just pay it lip service,&#8221; said Freeman, the group&#8217;s Southern Nevada director and national peace officer liaison. &#8220;This is a crusade I believe in.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another prominent Oath Keeper is former Arizona sheriff Richard Mack, who has long been an outspoken government critic.</p>
<p>The Southern Poverty Law Center calls Mack a &#8220;longtime militia hero&#8221; who helped weaken gun control laws.</p>
<p>An incident earlier this year in rural Iowa, not inside the Washington Beltway, motivated Rhodes to start Oath Keepers.</p>
<p>He questioned why the Iowa National Guard planned to use residents of a small town to participate in training on door-to-door searches for weapons.</p>
<p>The Guard said the training was to help soldiers who might be asked to carry out similar searches in Iraq or Afghanistan.</p>
<p>But for Rhodes, it looked like preparation for a future declaration of martial law. It reminded him of the response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 when police officers reportedly confiscated legally owned firearms. What the government called emergency response after the levees broke, Rhodes saw as the imposition of martial law.</p>
<p>If it hadn&#8217;t been for April 19 of this year, Oath Keepers might not have gained the notoriety it now has.</p>
<p>On the anniversary of the Battle of Lexington Green, the Massachusetts battle that started the American Revolution in 1775, a group of Oath Keepers went to the battle site and reaffirmed their pledge to the Constitution.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">AMEN!</span></li>
</ul>
<p>The gathering was mentioned in the Southern Poverty Law Center report because April 19 is also the anniversary of the deadly end to the federal siege on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, in 1993; and of the retaliatory bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building in 1995.</p>
<p>Rhodes and Potok have never talked, but if they did, they might find themselves speaking a different language.</p>
<p>&#8220;Let them say what they want to say, but April 19 has very much become a day for the extreme radical right,&#8221; Potok said.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">What the heck is an “extreme radical right”?  Somebody who completely supports the Declaration of Independence and the rule of LAW AS WRITTEN in The Constitution, word for word, in spirit and intent as it WAS meant on the day it was ratified by the Union?  If this is “extreme” and bad what were the people who fought and died so that we could be free?  If this is extreme are our founding fathers also extreme?  If so, what has happened to our country?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Don’t you see what the “powers that be” are doing to us and our country people?  They are tearing us, our families, our religion apart in a divide and conquer maneuver of Mass Behavior Modification through Political Correctness, rejection of assimilation into the melting pot of the UNIQUE American culture by definition called Multiculturalism, and “OVER” Tolerance which has almost nothing to do with tolerance as it has to do with God’s Law of what is tolerable and what is not.  These people use “gray” as an excuse to do all sorts of immoral things and I am not talking about sexual matters but other matters of virtue necessary for the survival of a Republic, freedom, liberty and individual rights. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Isn’t it amazing how the dark side of the force insinuates that believing in freedom, liberty and our great American Heritage and history is bad.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Count me in for the next Lexington party on April 19<sup>th</sup>!  If my countrymen needs my help to protect our Constitution and our rights, I’ll even bring a musket or three.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Rhodes couldn&#8217;t disagree more.</p>
<p>&#8220;There are thousands of Americans who go to Lexington to watch re-enactments of people shooting at troops,&#8221; Rhodes said. &#8220;But if you&#8217;re a group of military and police there, they somehow find this offensive.&#8221;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Isn’t it wonderful that Oath Keepers understand that our Government is of The People, For the People and BY THE PEOPLE; and further that we are above Government as per our authority that we were given by our creator. </span> See <a href="http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/index.htm">The Declaration of Independence</a>.  Rhodes said he hopes Oath Keepers members think about<span style="color: #0000ff">We The People ‘borrowed’ some of our authority that we were given by God, to the Government for the ‘privilege’ of handling only the SEVENTEEN items We The People ‘enumerated’ and ‘borrowed’ our authorization in </span><a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#A1Sec8"><span style="color: #008000">Article 1 Section 8</span></a><span style="color: #0000ff"> of THE LAW as further supported by the<span style="color: #008000"> </span></span><a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Am9"><span style="color: #008000">9<sup>th</sup> and 10<sup>th</sup> Amendments</span></a><span style="color: #0000ff"><span style="color: #008000"> </span>in The Bill of Rights.</span> <span style="color: #0000ff">the lawfulness of day-to-day orders they receive.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Amen and Thank YOU!</span></li>
</ul>
<p>For example, if a police officer feels he is being asked to do an illegal search of a home or vehicle, he should stand down.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">My God!  I sure hope so!</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Rhodes eventually wants to create a legal defense fund for Oath Keepers who are disciplined by their employers for defying orders they deem unlawful or immoral.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">If their “employers” the Government, are ordering unlawful activities each and every single tyrant directly responsible should be tried and hung as traitors to The Constitution and as enemies of The American people.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>&#8220;The message to law enforcement is not to become a tool of oppression,&#8221; he said.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">The American people will not only stand behind you, we will stand beside you, armed if necessary.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Rhodes, a husband and father of five home-schooled children, said he gets hundreds of e-mails a day, mostly from people interested in knowing more about his group.</p>
<p>He also gets a lot of questions from &#8220;birthers&#8221; wanting to know if he thinks Obama is really an American citizen and from &#8220;truthers&#8221; asking whether he believes the attacks of 9/11 were an inside job. The group doesn&#8217;t have an official position on either issue, he said.</p>
<p>Some of his responses to questions have turned would-be allies against him.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been accused of being a traitor or a CIA operative because I&#8217;m not coming out and declaring that the H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine is a biological weapon,&#8221; he said.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Everybody should have a right to his or her opinion and, I believe the right to take or not take the vaccine, especially considering the contemporary and historical medical questions and problems with such vaccines.  Remember 1976 and all the physical harm that the flu vaccine caused to so many Thousands of people across America?</span></li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #0000ff"> Due to recent events in Washington D.C. The Liberty Tree Lantern is highly concerned about numerous Communistic and controlling  behaviors and actions by The White House as well as both houses of Congress.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">The following is from one of our readers:</span></p>
<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>As an American, if you believe in free speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, democracy and free trade then you should become very aware of what is going on in the Whitehouse.   Our president has surrounded himself with very &#8216;interesting&#8217; people.  He has appointed key &#8216;czars&#8217; who hold power and influence him on a daily basis.   Who he has appointed reflects directly on him for these are the people he has chosen to advise him.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Glenn Beck had first uncovered the &#8216;Green Czar&#8217; named Van Jones.  A personal appointee of President Obama.   Glenn Beck and Fox News uncovered some interesting things about Mr. Jones and his communist ideology.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>&#8220;Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo., had demanded that the Senate Green Jobs and New Economy Subcommittee conduct hearings to probe Jones&#8217; behavior and &#8220;reassure the American people that their government is safe from his divisive, incendiary and ultimately counterproductive sentiments.&#8221; </p>
<p>Jones was a self-described &#8220;communist&#8221; during the 1990s and previously worked with a group dedicated to Marxist and Leninist philosophies. His comments, even in recent years, were often racially charged. He&#8217;s blamed &#8220;white polluters and white environmentalists&#8221; for &#8220;steering poison&#8221; to minority communities. In 2005, he drew a distinction between white and black youths involved in shooting incidents by referencing the 1999 Columbine High School massacre.&#8221;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>After bringing to light the truth about Van Jones and his communist ideology, the white house let him very quietly and discreetly resign at midnight over the labor day weekend while everyone was on vacation.  The white house has been incredibly silent about his appointment and is remaining tight lipped.   Now, Glenn Beck and Fox News are looking into other persons who President Obama has personally appointed and is surrounding himself with.   Next is Anita Dunn.   Due to the ever increasing popularity of Fox News for spreading the truth about the President and his appointees, the white has officially gone on an all out war of Fox News.  This is absolutely unheard of.  A news agency that is reporting the truth is now being targeted by the white house for the first time in history.   If the white house doesn&#8217;t like what you say about them, they are going to put you out of business.  Gee, what does that sound like, communism?   Hmmm.  Are we really just making this up?????</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please click on the link below in the gray box, titled &#8216;The radical truth about Anita Dunn&#8217;.   And you will be brought to a page with two small video windows.  First watch the top video and then watch the bottom video.   Now due to Glenn Beck bringing to light the truth behind Anita Dunn, another Presidential appointee of Barack Obama, she is now &#8216;leaving&#8217; office at the end of this month.   As an American who believes in freedom and what our forefathers fought for and our soldiers continue to defend, we must all become aware of the ideology of the man we have elected to lead our country.   Isn&#8217;t it interesting that Fox News is the only news program that is reporting these contestable things.  Why aren&#8217;t the other news agencies covering these stories.  Fox News is the number one rated news program in America today and its absolutely killing the white house and they are steaming mad about it. </p>
<p>Whether you are democrat or republican doesn&#8217;t matter. What matters is who really is our president and who are the key people he is surrounding himself with????</p>

<p>The Liberty Tree Lanterns sees this as utter oppression and Despotism! </p>
<p>It is the right of the American people to know what is going on in The White House.  Fox News is truly the only NEWS organization, outside of Talk Radio, that isn&#8217;t in the bag of the tyrants of Washington D.C.! </p>
<p>Something must be done to stop the silencing of TV and soon Internet NEWS sources.  People, you need to decide what you are going to do.  Time is growing short before the day will come that none of us will be able to do anything because we won&#8217;t even know what is going on; which is exactly the way Washington wants it. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Liberty Tree Lantern speaks a lot about &#8220;The Matrix&#8221; which is, like the movie, something that only exists in our minds.  Our entire economy is based on FEDERAL RESERVE &#8220;NOTES&#8221;.   A NOTE is nothing more than the promise to pay with real money in the future, an I.O.U..  So you have been paid your wages and salaries with I.O.U.s..  You have never paid for anything because you used nothing more than I.O.U.s which are printed by the Trillions and Trillions like Monopoly money.  Because of this fact and certain principles and laws of economics America&#8217;s entire banking system almost collapsed systemically in the last quarter of 2008.</p>
<p>The Matrix is going to collapse, NO MATTER WHAT, and in the end that is a blessing.  Without The MATRIX the vast majority of the average common working persons of America through very hard work, a little luck and a few years of, yes major hardship, can become quite wealthy because IF WE ENFORCE the LAWS as WE The People wrote, established and ordained in The Constitution we and our economy can keep almost everything we earn in the environment of freedom, liberty and unalienable rights.  You must realize, folks that our entire economy must completely reset, a complete cold reboot, under the full and complete laws of The Constitution being brought to bear on the U.S. Government, word for word, in spirit and intent as it was meant when it was ratified.</p>
<p>Our economy, which in reality doesn&#8217;t exist except in our minds because we believe that a dollar is worth 100 cents when it is only worth 2 &#8211; 3 cents after TARP, Corporate Bailouts, Huge Bank Bailouts, Stimulus pork barrel programs and Socialism programs, will collapse in less than three years.  The Matrix will collapse due to something called &#8220;hyper-inflation&#8221;, which is actually the world revaluing the dollar to its true real world value regardless of what our minds believe the dollar is worth as the result of Mass Behavior Modification processes (brainwashing) by public schools pushing Government curriculums, the Main Stream Media, the U.S. Government and The Federal Reserve &#8220;System&#8221;.</p>
<p>In the following video the honorable Representative from Texas, Dr. Ron Paul, provides the facts to the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke that explains what The Liberty Tree Lantern is explaining to you.  The only thing that Dr. Paul is not providing is the concern that if we haven’t been paid for our labor and nothing has been paid for because we used nothing but “NOTES” to pay for things, than who really owns everything?  That is the $646 TRILLION Dollar question.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4Rsnqb4zUjY&#038;fs=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4Rsnqb4zUjY&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>I wonder how long Barney Franks&#8217; brain has expired?  Perhaps as long as the U.S. Dollar has under the Constitutionally contemptuous advent of The Federal Reserve &#8220;System&#8221; in 1913, which is a cartel of twelve privately owned banks.   Owned by mostly foreigners, mostly British.  Look up Federal Reserve on this blog for all sorts of information.</p>
<p>So The Liberty Tree Lantern highly recommends that you prepare for the BLESSING of the collapse of The MATRIX so that after about five years of really tough financial hardship, we can all own what we thought we did and more in the environment of REAL freedom.  Do you even know what freedom even means as defined by our founding fathers?  It means living without the curtailments and taxes on the average American citizen by a tyrannical overbearing Government that must exist only within the bounds of laws that we wrote in The Constitution, especially, but not limited to, the &#8220;enumerated&#8221; and limited  list of powers in  Article 1 Section 8 as further supported by the 9th and 10th Amendments. </p>
<p>Do you even know that our country didn&#8217;t have any income taxes for almost one hundred fifty years?  Do you know that the majority of individual wealth for Americans was made during those years?   Do you know that during that period of no income taxes our country became a Super Power?  Do you know that roads and schools are not supported or paid for by income taxes?  Do you know that the US Military is completely paid for by &#8220;legal&#8221; taxes which are not income taxes on ordinary citizens? </p>
<p>Folks, I am telling you that we have been had since 1913 and you need to find out about all of these things.  Start by reading The Declaration of Independence and follow that up with The Constitution of The United (but independent and sovereign) States of America.  Then read The 5000 Year Leap.  And in between keep reading The Liberty Tree Lantern for additional learning and recent tyrannical events by The U.S. Government sprinkled with other interesting stories and science news.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #0000ff">Because of the date of the article, below, The Liberty Tree Lantern does not know if these tracking and personal information / ID bracelets are actually going to be used for the Swine Flu / H1N1 vaccine.  However, this is pretty scary technology if our Government has a way to permanently attach it to us.  It can track you wherever you go and actually monitor your location and history of where you went.  It can store and broadcast all sorts of information about you to the right receiver.  See this: <a href="http://www.emsystem.com/info/pdf/EMTrack.pdf">EM-Track brochure</a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">What if our U.S. Government passes a law that will fine us $1,000.00 for each time that we are caught by the authorities without our bracelets on &#8220;for the sake of the health of the masses&#8221;?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">Hello BIG BROTHER?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">We must stay vigilant people.  There are some really weird things going on with our Government right now.  Of course <span style="text-decoration: underline">that has to be</span> because the value of the dollar will soon, in less than three years, but could be next week in the case of a “China Syndrome” (a nuclear U.S.  financial core meltdown  due to China selling out of our <a href="http://www.usdebtclock.org/">debt obligations </a>and our dollars along with the rest of the world).  Someday soon the U.S. dollar will be revalued to its true actual value of 2 – 3 cents.  This will be what I call the collapse of The MATRIX, which is our economy based on our minds believing that a dollar is worth 100 cents when in reality it is actually worth 2 – 3 cents, and has been worth not much more than that for many decades.  Yes you have never been paid for your labor.  And yes you have never actually paid for anything.  This is a fact.  Nothing you can see, touch or smell has been paid for with real money.  As long as our minds believe that a dollar is worth 100 cents we are fine.  But the realities of economic natural law will dictate that eventually our minds and the minds of the world will come to realize that the dollar is only worth 2 – 3 cents.  Can you imagine a world where a loaf of bread costs $50.00 or a gallon of gas costs $80.00?   Welcome to the real world, the world outside of The MATRIX.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">If the U.S. Government was forced to obey the laws that We The People wrote, established and ordained on them, as written in The Constitution,  not only would none of this have happened, each of us would be at least as wealthy, if not much more, than we think we are here inside of The MATRIX.  Corruption and greed would be far less ubiquitous, our children would be far better taught in school and for far less money, and we would be able to keep the vast majority of our earnings.</span></p>
<h2>City to pinpoint areas of low rates of vaccination</h2>
<div><span>By Stephen Smith </span><span>Globe Staff / November 21, 2008 </span></div>
<p>Using technology originally developed for mass disasters, Boston disease trackers are embarking on a novel experiment &#8211; one of the first in the country &#8211; aimed at eventually creating a citywide registry of everyone who has had a flu vaccination.</p>
<p>The resulting vaccination map would allow swift intervention in neighborhoods left vulnerable to the fast-moving respiratory illness.</p>
<p>The trial starts this afternoon, when several hundred people are expected to queue up for immunizations at the headquarters of the Boston Public Health Commission. Each of them will get a bracelet printed with a unique identifier code. Information about the vaccine&#8217;s recipients, and the shot, will be entered into handheld devices similar to those used by delivery truck drivers.</p>
<p>Infectious disease specialists in Boston and elsewhere predicted that the registry approach could prove even more useful if something more sinister strikes: a bioterrorism attack or the long-feared arrival of a global flu epidemic. In such crises, the registry could be used to track who received a special vaccine or antidote to a deadly germ.</p>
<p>&#8220;Anything you can do to better pinpoint who&#8217;s vaccinated and who&#8217;s not, that&#8217;s absolutely vital,&#8221; said Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research &amp; Policy at the University of Minnesota. &#8220;I wish more cities were doing this kind of thing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Boston is believed to be the first city to embrace this particular approach to tracking vaccinations against the seasonal flu, estimated to kill 36,000 people each year in the United States, principally the elderly.</p>
<p>But when Boston bought the monitoring system from a Milwaukee company in 2006, emergency authorities had a far different use in mind: tracking people injured in big fires, plane crashes, or other disasters.</p>
<p>&#8220;When there&#8217;s a large catastrophic event, people end up in a variety of healthcare facilities,&#8221; said Dr. Anita Barry, Boston&#8217;s director of communicable disease control. &#8220;Of course, their family members and loved ones are trying to find out where they are and how they&#8217;re doing.&#8221;</p>
<p>To see how well the system would work, emergency crews tested it at the Boston Marathon and the Fourth of July extravaganza on the Esplanade. The trial proved successful.</p>
<p>&#8220;If we can make it work in the Boston Marathon medical tent, then you have to think about making it so that it can work in other environments as well &#8211; whether it&#8217;s a community clinic or a doctor&#8217;s office or a flu shot clinic,&#8221; said Rich Serino, chief of Boston Emergency Medical Services. Thus, the idea to use the registry as a flu vaccine tracker was born.</p>
<p>Every autumn in medical offices across the country, flu vaccine floods in. The perishable medical product must be delivered to millions in a matter of months.</p>
<p>Keeping track of that cache of vaccine &#8211; and which patients are getting it &#8211; is a daunting proposition.</p>
<p>In some medical offices, the information is entered into electronic medical records. At Boston&#8217;s health department, nurses fill out paper forms.</p>
<p>But there&#8217;s never been any way to systematically monitor whether, for example, Dorchester has lower vaccination rates than the North End.</p>
<p>&#8220;When you&#8217;re working in one clinic, you don&#8217;t have a good sense of that,&#8221; said Dr. Alfred DeMaria, top disease doctor at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. &#8220;But if you&#8217;re tracking multiple clinics in real time, you can see where the uptake is better and where it&#8217;s less, and then focus on outreach.&#8221;</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s experiment, which does not require any additional direct spending, is a first step toward that.</p>
<p>When people arrive for their shots, they will get an ID bracelet with a barcode. Next, basic information &#8211; name, age, gender, address &#8211; will be entered into the patient tracking database. There will be electronic records, too, of who gave the vaccine and whether it was injected into the right arm or the left, and time-stamped for that day.</p>
<p>The resulting trove of data could be used to figure out why some patients had to wait longer than others to be vaccinated. &#8220;When all is said and done,&#8221; said Jun Davantes, director of product management at EMSystems, the company that makes the technology, &#8220;Boston will be able to identify where there are certain bottlenecks in the process and hopefully improve it the next time around.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ultimately, city health authorities said, they envision creating a network across the city that would allow public and private providers of flu shots to add data to a registry.</p>
<p>But acknowledging patients&#8217; privacy concerns, officials promised that if a citywide system were implemented, only a limited amount of information would be gathered &#8211; all sitting behind an encrypted firewall.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have had people say, &#8216;Oh, that&#8217;s so big brother,&#8217; &#8221; said Laura Williams, EMS deputy chief of staff. &#8220;But in truth, the unique identifier is unique to the incident. It&#8217;s not like you will go to the hospital, and they&#8217;ll say, &#8216;You&#8217;re the one who got the flu vaccine at 10 o&#8217;clock yesterday at the Boston Public Health Commission.&#8217; &#8220;</p>

<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 304px"><img src="http://blogs.usatoday.com/.a/6a00d83451b46269e20120a5c3b0b0970b-pi" alt="" width="294" height="310" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Michael Hilton of American Police Force</p></div>
<p>We have been watching with fascination the story out of Montana about a mysterious security company called American Police Force that was slated to take over operation of a never-used jail in the town of Hardin.</p>
<p>Click <a href="http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2009/10/mysterious-security-group-in-montana-tweaks-its-name-.html" target="_blank">here</a> for links to earlier stories.</p>
<p>Earlier postings noted some of the twists and turns, including word that one of the front men for the APF, Michael Hilton, had a criminal record in California, that the company had changed its name to American Private Police Force, that one company SUV showed up bearing a decal that said &#8220;City of Hardin Police Department. &#8221;</p>
<p>Equally interesting, no one seemed to be able to say what the company would be doing at the jail or, where it would get prisoners to fill it. All of which was enough to prod the Montana attorney general to begin looking into the deal.</p>
<p>Now it appears that the whole thing is unraveling. Greg Smith, the executive director of Two Rivers Authority, the Hardin economic development arm that signed the original deal, has now resigned reports the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/montana/article_14ab8848-b23c-11de-9b7f-001cc4c03286.html" target="_blank"><em>Billings Gazette</em></a>. No reason was given for his departure. The TRA lawyer who structured the deal is also being replaced.<br />
 <br />
&#8220;We won&#8217;t move forward,&#8221; says Gary Arneson, president of the TRA, which owns the jail. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think any of us want to be on the chopping block.&#8221;</p>
<p>In another twist, the AP <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5ifOx0LPKy5B_0KAyPHyNTEqdQz6QD9B59NN80" target="_blank">reports</a> that an international security executive that local officials were told would run the jail, says that&#8217;s not true, that he only had cursory conversations with Hilton about the position.</p>
<p>As for Hilton, the the <em>San Jose Mercury News</em> <a href="http://www.mercurynews.com/news/ci_13490833" target="_blank">reports</a> that a California judge has ordered him to appear in court later this month over an outstanding judgment in a fraud lawsuit. Stay tuned.</p>

<p><em><span style="color: #0000ff">The Liberty Tree Lantern asks, who hired and who is paying this &#8220;American Police Force&#8221; and for what purpose?  Is this just the start of a program that is totally sponsored by the U.S. Government?   WHOSE IDEA WAS IT to hire these professionally trained mercenaries and give them a huge jail?  Perhaps the IRS AGENTS of &#8220;The MATRIX&#8221;, so that We The People are better forced to comply with the hugely massive increase in taxes will hit the middle class blue collar working men and women after the next election, incrementally rising to 80% of earnings, just to pay for the Social Security and Medicare anti-Constitutional Socialist programs ALONE which are hand to mouth UNFUNDED Liabilities amounting to $99 TRILLION DOLLARS over the infinite horizon?  Where d0 you think they are going to get that money from people?  </span></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong><em>ACORN Funder JPMorgan Chase Doesn’t Look Good in New Madoff Book </em><br />
</strong></h2>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.nlpc.org/stories/2009/08/10/acorn-funder-jpmorgan-chase-doesn%E2%80%99t-look-good-new-madoff-book">NLPC</a></strong></p>
<div>A new book by <em>Barron’s</em> reporter Erin Arvedlund asserts that banking giant JPMorgan Chase became aware of Madoff’s Ponzi scheme months before his arrest, prompting the bank to liquidate its positions in a Madoff-related fund. Yet, the bank continued to accept deposits into Madoff’s main account at the bank from unsuspecting investors who were about to lose everything.NLPC is a critic of JPMorgan Chase’s support for political and social causes that are contrary to the bank’s interests and hostile to the capitalist system itself, such as ACORN. Although these new revelations are a separate controversy, both reflect an apparent willingness by the firm to work with shady enterprises if it is perceived to be in its own interest.The book is titled <em>Too Good to be True</em>. Excerpts appeared in <em>Barron’s</em> over the weekend.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Arvedlund has a great deal of credibility on anything Madoff-related, having written a story in 2001 suggesting that Madoff’s consistent record of returns was suspect.</div>
<p>The only good thing that can be said about JPMorgan Chase is that, like Arvedlund, it was perceptive enough to smell the Madoff rat. But unlike Arvedlund, who tried to sound the alarm, JPMorgan Chase kept quiet and tried to protect itself.</p>
<p>Arvedlund explains:</p>
<blockquote><p>In 2006, JPMorgan Chase developed a derivative product for its wealthy clients. It was linked to the Fairfield Sentry Fund offered by the Madoff feeder Fairfield Greenwich. The bank offered investors &#8212; mostly in Europe &#8212; a note that paid three times the earnings, or returns, of the Sentry Fund. The note matured in five years. To hedge its risk on the derivative product, the bank invested in the Sentry Fund itself. This way, if the Sentry Fund did well, the bank&#8217;s returns would offset its obligation on the notes.</p>
<p>By the summer of 2008, JPMorgan Chase had deposited $250 million with the Sentry Fund. With the financial meltdown on Wall Street and around the world in full swing, most of the markets were down 30% or more, and yet the Sentry Fund reported gains of 5%. JPMorgan Chase began to grow suspicious.</p></blockquote>
<p>As a result:</p>
<blockquote><p>In September 2008, JPMorgan Chase quietly liquidated its entire $250 million position in the Sentry Fund, even though it remained liable on the derivatives it had sold to the wealthy clients. At the time, the Fairfield Sentry investment notes were showing a 5% gain for the year. The bank had concluded Madoff was a phony, and the only way to protect itself was to liquidate anything connected with Madoff.</p></blockquote>
<p>When JPMorgan Chase bought what was left of Bear Stearns last year, it inherited a relationship with Madoff that is also sure to raise more questions about its ethics. According to Arvedlund:</p>
<blockquote><p>Brokers who traded at Bear Stearns used the firm&#8217;s automated equity order system to buy and sell stocks. A broker would enter the stock symbol and the number of shares he or she wanted to trade. The system was supposed to do the rest: work to find the best counterparty to trade with from among the many market makers that traded with Bear Stearns. However, for Nasdaq stocks, Bear Stearns had an unwritten code: the system automatically defaulted to trade with Madoff.</p>
<p>Madoff reportedly paid Bear Stearns substantial fees for this default setting on their equity order system, and he may have paid other customers to do the same as well. Between 2000 and 2008, Bear Stearns&#8217; 400 or so brokers all used this system, and all their Nasdaq trades defaulted to Madoff. It was a big source of revenue for Madoff, and it vaulted Bear Stearns to a position as the largest counterparty trading with Madoff. The arrangement was in place when Bear Stearns went under in early 2008, and it continued under JPMorgan Chase.</p></blockquote>
<p>JPMorgan Chase and/or the JPMorgan Chase Foundation are major funders of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) and related organizations. ACORN is a network of as many as 360 organizations, structured to escape accountability, a network far more complicated than anything Madoff ever constructed.</p>
<p>ACORN has had its own embezzlement scandal. Dale Rathke, the brother of ACORN founder Wade Rathke, stole nearly $1 million in 1999 and 2000. ACORN treated the crime as an internal matter and did not even notify its board. A whistle-blower made it public. Dale Rathke remained on ACORN’s payroll until June 2008.</p>
<p>According to its 2007 tax return (the most recent available), the JPMorgan Chase Foundation made a million-dollar gift to ACORN Housing, Inc. that year. This donation is likely the tip of the iceberg of the bank’s total support of ACORN. JPMorgan Chase is one of ACORN largest corporate backers, if not the largest. JPMorgan Chase can take a step toward accountability by disclosing the specifics of its support for ACORN.</p>
<p>Last fall, JPMorgan Chase accepted $25 billion in taxpayer TARP funds. In 2008, the top 200 bonus recipients at JPMorgan Chase received $1.12 billion. The firm had 1,144 employees who received a bonus of least $1 million last year, more than any other Wall Street firm.</p>
<p>You would think with all these millionaires walking around the company, there would be at least a passing acknowledgement of the wealth generation potential of a free economy. Not a chance.  CEO Jamie Dimon sneers at free market advocates. The firm funds a variety of anti-business activists, ACORN being just the most dramatic example.</p>
<p>Dimon is apparently not self-conscious either about ACORN’s role in the residential mortgage crisis, much of it driven by subprime lending. Starting in the Seventies, ACORN saw the big banks as shakedown targets. The weak-kneed executives at these institutions were pretty easy pickings.</p>
<p>ACORN screamed “racism.” It accused mortgage lenders of “redlining,” or denying credit to borrowers in certain areas. It picketed the homes of bank directors in leafy suburbs.<br />
A way out was offered to the banks. They could make contributions to ACORN and/or they could “invest” in ACORN Housing, which made loans to “underserved” borrowers.</p>
<p>They also could back off from opposition to a law called the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 that required banks and thrifts to lend more money from areas where they took deposits. It meant more loans to “underserved” communities, and a loosening of lending standards.</p>
<p>Of course, many of ACORN’s “deserving” borrowers were not deserving at all. Increasingly, the banks dumped the loans on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which were under pressure by Congressmen like Barney Frank (D-MA) to make more loans to the “underserved.”</p>
<p>The result was the mortgage meltdown that nearly took down our entire financial system, providing the justification for the massive bailouts of the banks. But Dimon acts like JMorgan Chase has no culpability because of its “solid” balance sheet.</p>
<p>According to Arvedlund, there are already civil suits against JPMorgan Chase by investors whose funds were acccepted into Madoff’s account at the bank after it had concluded that Madoff was a fraud. Of course, this may also be criminal, but there is no word that the bank is the target of a criminal investigation.</p>
<p>During the campaign, Dimon was a vocal supporter of Barack Obama. On July 18, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/19/business/19dimon.html?_r=1&amp;src=sch">the <em>New York Times</em> called Dimon “Obama’s favorite banker.”</a> Dimon may hope that this relationship will insulate his firm from prosecution in the Madoff case. In any event, JPMorgan Chase’s culture must be questioned, along with Dimon’s credibility and leadership.</p>
<h4><span style="color: #0000ff">The Liberty Tree Lantern analysis and commentary on the above article: </span></h4>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff"><strong><span style="color: #800000">J.P. Morgan Chase Bank is one of the 12 Banking concerns that own The Federal Reserve &#8220;System&#8221;.</span></strong>  See: <a title="Permanent Link to OWNERSHIP OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE" rel="bookmark" href="http://captkarl.blogivists.com/2009/10/07/ownership-of-the-federal-reserve/">OWNERSHIP OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE</a>.  This bank is one of the programmers of The MATRIX, our economy that only exists in our minds because our minds have been programmed to believe that a small piece of paper with green ink on it is worth 100 cents, when in the real world, outside of The MATRIX, outside of our minds, they are really only worth 2 &#8211; 3 cents each. So you have never been even close to fully paid for your labor and you have never paid for anything your mind believes you paid for.  In essence nothing,<span style="text-decoration: underline"> IN A FINANCIAL SENSE</span>, you can see, touch or smell really exists because it was paid for with almost worthless pieces of paper with ink on it.  How can you buy a car or a refrigerator with nothing more than  pieces of paper with almost nothing backing it up, that is printed out of thin air on glorified computer printers at a Federal Reserve office?  If this is possible then how come only these super rich bankers can print out this Monopoly money, you have a computer printer too, why can&#8217;t you print your own?  The Banking cartel of twelve privately owned banks, do it almost every single day.  Now the question that will really blow your mind is; if you didn&#8217;t really pay for anything you have, because you used dollars that in the real world was only worth about 4 cents or less each, than who really owns it?  Someday soon we may all find out and it isn&#8217;t going to be pretty.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">In any case this MATRIX is going to collapse, by something known as</span> <a href="http://captkarl.blogivists.com/2009/07/14/the-matrix-our-economy-that-only-exists-in-our-minds-is-soon-to-collapse/">hyper-inflation</a>, <span style="color: #0000ff">which is actually the revaluation of the dollar to its true value by the entire world, in less than three years.  Welcome this nightmare folks, because without the total collapse of the MATRIX we will never be free or have liberty, or ever be individually wealthy.  The MATRIX was created to imprison our minds and enslave us for the power and wealth of the power hungry megalomaniacs of the world; the forty owners of The Federal Reserve &#8220;System&#8221; and their cronies in the U.S. Government and in &#8216;certain&#8217; BIG Corporations.  </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">Pray for the <span style="text-decoration: underline">temporary</span> horror of the utter collapse of The MATRIX, our economy, because if we each INDIVIDUALLY BUT UNITED fight for and   PERSONALLY   ENFORCE  the rule of LAW that we wrote, established and ordained in The Constitution upon our U.S. Government, word for word, in spirit and intent, as it WAS meant on the day it was ratified, then the vast majority of our common average working men and women will, through very hard work and the blessings of God, become wealthy with REAL money from our creator.  </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">So pray people, pray for the end of our economy, THE MATRIX, our prison of the mind, which now uses each and every one of us as though we are utter slaves of &#8220;the system&#8221; being controlled and manipulated through usurpation, Constitutionally illegal legislation, tyranny, oppression, taxation and so-called tax credits where they first STEAL our earnings, before we even get them, in the form of Federal, FICA, and Medicare &#8221;withholding&#8221; and payroll taxes that we would have otherwise received from our employers on our paychecks, and then they say they will give us a &#8220;little fraction&#8221; of what they stole out of our paychecks IF we cow tow to their DEMANDS and mandates.  </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">What gives them the right to hold us in such utter contempt, when it was We The people who &#8216;borrowed&#8217; them SEVENTEEN <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">enumerated items</span></strong> in <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#A1Sec8">Article 1 Section 8</a> of The Constitution as further supported by the <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Am9">9th and 10th Amendments </a>in The Bill of Rights, certain authorities that we individually received from our creator,  for the &#8216;privilege&#8217; of handling for us.    <strong><span style="color: #ff0000">How dare they?</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">READ THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE   and the dovetail CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED (but independent and sovereign) STATES OF AMERICA, <strong>today</strong>, so you know what you must fight for.  Also read the numerous writings of our founding fathers.   And be sure to read</span> <a href="http://captkarl.blogivists.com/2009/08/19/the-light-of-the-liberty-tree-lantern-guided-by-these-principles/">The 5000 Year Leap</a> <span style="color: #0000ff">which will greatly facilitate the meaning, spirit and intent of the Declaration and the Constitution so that you understand both of them perspicuously.</span> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>This radical proposal is a reflection of a changing economic world</h3>
<p><em>Tuesday, 6 October 2009</em></p>
<p>Last autumn&#8217;s global financial crisis set off an economic earthquake. And we are still feeling the tremors. The latest sign of the ground shifting beneath our feet is our report today of plans by Gulf states, China, Russia, France and Japan to end their practice of conducting oil deals in US dollars, switching instead to a diverse basket of currencies.</p>
<p>It is not hard to see the motivation for oil exporters to move away from the dollar. The value of the US currency has fallen sharply since last year&#8217;s meltdown. And fears are growing, in the light of a spiraling US government deficit, that a further depreciation is likely. They do not want to sell their wares in return for a currency with an uncertain future.</p>
<p>It is also easy to see why China would like a world trading system that is underpinned by other currencies as well as the dollar. For the past decade Beijing has been recycling the proceeds of its giant national trade surplus into purchases of US government bonds and other dollar-denominated assets. China too stands to make a significant loss if the value of the dollar falls. For China, however, the timing is much more sensitive. Beijing needs to reduce its dollar holdings, but if it does so too quickly it will bring about the very devaluation it fears. This explains why Chinese officials appear to want this transition to take place gradually over the next decade.</p>
<p>But the significance of this development goes much further. Since the end of the Second World War the dollar has been the bedrock of world trade. The pre-eminence of the American currency flowed naturally from the economic dominance of the US. Virtually everyone traded with America so it made sense to use their currency.</p>
<p>But the US is not the dominant power that it once was. The financial crisis has left it hobbled with significant government and household debts and sharply reduced prospects for growth. Developing nations such as China, Brazil and India, on the other hand, have weathered the economic storm significantly better. So while this latest proposal is born of financial calculation, it is also a reflection of a new economic world order.</p>
<p>We should not be sentimental for the dollar. It makes economic sense for world trade to be conducted in a variety of currencies. Relying on one only has the advantage of clarity, but it also creates instability if the economy that underpins it faces uncertain prospects.</p>
<p>Yet we need to understand that exchange rate volatility is a symptom, rather than a cause, of what truly ails the world economy. The biggest driver of global economic instability in recent years has been the determination of China to boost its export sector at all costs. Beijing&#8217;s persistently large trade surpluses and manipulation to prevent its own currency from appreciating have effectively forced Western nations into running persistently large trade deficits. It was this pressure that blew up various asset bubbles that burst with such disastrous effect last year.</p>
<p>A gradual move away from the dollar makes sense. But without a commitment from world governments – both in the rich and developing world – to reduce these destabilizing global trade imbalances we will enter an uncertain new era; and one that could yet make us pine for the days of the dominant greenback.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff"> </span></p>
<h4><span style="color: #0000ff"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Now a comment on the above article by The Liberty Tree Lantern:</span></span></h4>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">Folks, this is just the first attempt to program your MATRIX dominated mind to accept a one world currency.  But remember, if you do you will be permanently be giving away your freedom, liberty and individual prosperity in exchange for human slavery, oppression, and tyranny with nowhere on Earth to run from the IRS and endless massive taxation of almost everything you ever earn and work for.  If we accept a one world currency, that they will try to push on us, eventually soon after, we will be forced into a One World Government / a New World Order.  </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">Do not fall for this.  They will tell half-truths and they will seem to make all kinds of sense just like when the bankers spoke about the importance of the Federal Reserve &#8220;System&#8221; central bank back in 1912-13 resulting in &#8220;The MATrix&#8221; our economy that only exists in our minds based on an almost worthless dollar.  Don&#8217;t accept a little bit of security at the expense of the true freedom and liberty that we can recapture only after the complete collapse of The MATRIX (our economy), when we can rebuild it with REAL money and create individual wealth for the common working man as well as small businesses that will then flourish.</span></p>
