Foreign Cops Take Part in "Domestic Terrorism" Drill in California

France’s RAID or Les Hommes en Noir — the Men in Black

Earlier in the week, Chris Matthews attempted to portray Stewart Rhodes of the Oath Keepers as a paranoid conspiracy nut for suggesting the presence of foreign troops in the United States.

Matthews, as a supposed news anchor, should read the newswires instead of relying on his CIA Mockingbird script. But then, of course, MSNBC is not interested in reporting the news.

On October 22, two days after his disgraceful attack on the Oath Keepers, The Oakland Tribune reported on just that — foreign troops inside the United States.

“Armed officers in full battle gear will be scattered throughout the Bay Area this weekend, rescuing hostages, fighting bank robbers and quelling terrorism at the Oakland Airport, Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, the NASA Ames Research Center and 22 other high profile sites,” writes Sophia Kazmi. “For the first time in the three-year history of the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department-sponsored exercise, there will be a foreign team of officers taking part and international observers. An eight-member team representing the French National Police’s Research, Assistance, Intervention, and Dissuasion unit will compete” (emphasis added).

French police are technically speaking not troops. However, the French RAID unit — Recherche Assistance Intervention Dissuasion (Research, Assistance, Intervention, Deterrence) — is a militarized SWAT team that uses special forces techniques. It is accused of triple tapping a mentally disturbed man who took school children hostage in 1993. RAID killed the man while he slept.

It is interesting to note how terrorism is conflated with bank robbery in the article. It’s part of a federal effort to characterize all crime — from marijuana possession to bank robbery — as terrorism.

“There will be the sound of gunfire and blasts — all part of Urban Shield, one of the biggest domestic terrorism drills in the country. The $1 million, two-day event begins Saturday and will test the training of 27 crack teams from throughout the state, elsewhere in the country and the world,” the Tribune article reports.

Urban Shield is funded by the Department of Homeland Security and at least one large corporation — BAE, a death merchant based in Britain. BAE stands accused of paying millions of dollars in bribes to secure contracts in Africa and Eastern Europe.

BAE’s “generous contributions” to Urban Shield will get the residents of Alameda County acclimated to the “sound of gunfire and blasts” and the presence of militarized cops “in full battle gear ” roaming the streets of the Bay Area this weekend.

Active Duty Troops in Iraq Are Wearing Oath Keeper Tabs

by Stewart Rhodes Oath Keepers


A Three Percent Oath Keeper in Iraq

The above photo was submitted by an active duty Oath Keeper in Mosul Iraq, sporting an Oath Keepers tab. As his other tab and patch make clear, he is also a “Three Percenter.” (see below)

The photo was also posted over at the Sipsey Street Irregulars blog with this message:

Just thought the WRSA [Western Rifle Shooters Association] and the Sipsey Street boys might like to see what we are wearing while over here in Iraq. We . . . know what the deal is, and when the time comes (which it will), we know where we stand and continue to make preparations for it.

Keep up the good work!

Regards from Mosul,
K7C

All I can say to that is Hooah! Thank you for your service, K7C, and for stepping up. Give our best regards to your brothers in arms, and let them know we have your six back home. If any of you need anything at all, from socks to helmets, to body armor, just ask and it will be provided. We need you to stay safe and come home healthy.

Oath Keepers here stateside, let your brothers on active duty in Iraq know how you feel. They do come here to read comments, count on that.

Note that the tab in the photo is not the same tab we sell here on our site (which is more of a police style tab). We are having military ACU style tabs with velcro made up, but they are not yet finished. That means the troops are having their own Oath Keeper tabs made up! And no, we did not put them up to it. They are doing this on their own initiative.

So take heart! The message of the oath and its obligations is spreading, and the Guardians of the Republic are listening and responding. And every time you act to spread the message, by whatever means, you cannot know what impact you will have, or how far it will reach. That’s why it’s so crucial that we each do what we can to reach, teach, and inspire as many active duty as possible about their obligation to defend the Constitution and their duty to refuse unlawful orders that would violate the rights of their fellow Americans.

Upcoming Outreach Effort to Put Tabs, DVD’s, and OK Handbooks in the Hands of Active Duty

Coincidentally, the tabs those troops are wearing are almost exactly like the tabs we are having made for our upcoming care package initiative, which will put an Oath Keeper tab, DVD, Oath Keepers handbook, copy of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and other outreach materials, into the hands of active duty deployed worldwide. We plan on launching that effort on Veteran’s Day, November 11 and continuing right on through Bill of Rights Day, December 15, with the goal of delivering all the care packages by Christmas. Now imagine what that will be like! Tens of thousands of our troops reached with the message and a tab. I will post more details very soon.

What’s a Three Percenter?

Now, seeing the other tab and patch in the photo, you may ask “what is a three percenter?” The narrowest definition is that three percenters are hard-line gun owners who are done backing up and will not comply with more infringements of their right to bear arms. A broader definition would be that they are hard-line Americans who are done backing up and will not comply with further infringement of any of their rights. It also alludes to the three percent of the colonists who took to the field against the King during the Revolution, and the estimation that at least three percent of modern Americans will actively fight, if it comes to it, to preserve liberty. Read this essay for more explanation.

Oath Keepers and Three Percenters are separate groups, but it is not a surprise to see people who consider themselves both an Oath Keeper and a Three Percenter. If you read the supplied links you will see why.

While we Oath Keepers have a specialized mission of outreach to current serving, focused on the oath and on refusing to obey unlawful orders, there’s lots of common ground and shared commitment to the Republic among both groups. Go here to read what the Sipsey Street blog has to say about that.

Oath Keepers, expect to see more of these tabs popping up soon, even before we begin our care package initiative. You are making a real difference. Keep up the good work!

For the Republic,

Stewart Rhodes

Obama Will Bypass Congress to Detain Suspects Indefinitely

Earthhope Action Network
by John Byrne Raw Story



President Barack Obama has quietly decided to bypass Congress and allow the indefinite detention of terrorist suspects without charges.

The move, which was controversial when the idea was first floated in The Washington Post in May, has sparked serious concern among civil liberties advocates. Such a decision allows the president to unilaterally hold "combatants" without habeas corpus -- a legal term literally meaning "you shall have the body" -- which forces prosecutors to charge a suspect with a crime to justify the suspect's detention.

Obama's decision was buried on page A 23 of The New York Times' New York edition on Thursday. It didn't appear on that page in the national edition. (Meanwhile, the front page was graced with the story, "Richest Russian's Newest Toy: An N.B.A. Team".)

Rather than seek approval from Congress to hold some 50 Guantanamo detainees indefinitely, the administration has decided that it has the authority to hold the prisoners under broad-ranging legislation passed in the wake of Sept. 11, 2001. Former President George W. Bush frequently invoked this legislation as the justification for controversial legal actions -- including the NSA's warrantless wiretapping program.

"The administration will continue to hold the detainees without bringing them to trial based on the power it says it has under the Congressional resolution passed after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, authorizing the president to use force against forces of Al Qaeda and the Taliban," the Times' Peter Baker writes. "In concluding that it does not need specific permission from Congress to hold detainees without charges, the Obama administration is adopting one of the arguments advanced by the Bush administration in years of debates about detention policies."

Constitutional scholar and Salon.com columnist Glenn Greenwald discussed the policy in a column in May. He warned that the ability for a president to "preventively" detain suspects could mushroom into broader, potentially abusive activity.

"It does not merely allow the U.S. Government to imprison people alleged to have committed Terrorist acts yet who are unable to be convicted in a civilian court proceeding," Greenwald wrote. "That class is merely a subset, perhaps a small subset, of who the Government can detain. Far more significant, 'preventive detention' allows indefinite imprisonment not based on proven crimes or past violations of law, but of those deemed generally 'dangerous' by the Government for various reasons (such as, as Obama put it yesterday, they 'expressed their allegiance to Osama bin Laden' or 'otherwise made it clear that they want to kill Americans'). That's what 'preventive' means: imprisoning people because the Government claims they are likely to engage in violent acts in the future because they are alleged to be 'combatants.'"

"Once known, the details of the proposal could -- and likely will -- make this even more extreme by extending the 'preventive detention' power beyond a handful of Guantanamo detainees to anyone, anywhere in the world, alleged to be a 'combatant,'" Greenwald continues. "After all, once you accept the rationale on which this proposal is based -- namely, that the U.S. Government must, in order to keep us safe, preventively detain "dangerous" people even when they can't prove they violated any laws -- there's no coherent reason whatsoever to limit that power to people already at Guantanamo, as opposed to indefinitely imprisoning with no trials all allegedly 'dangerous' combatants, whether located in Pakistan, Thailand, Indonesia, Western countries and even the U.S."

The Obama Administration appears to have embraced "preventive detention" in part because of problems with how Guantanamo prisoners' cases -- and incarceration -- were handled under President Bush. Military prosecutors have said that numerous cases could not be brought successfully in civilian courts because evidence was obtained in ways that wouldn't be admissible on US soil. The Bush Administration originally sought to try numerous detainees in military tribunals, but the Supreme Court ruled that at least some have the rights to challenge their detention in US courts.

Baker notes that Obama's decision to hold suspects without charges doesn't propose as broad an executive authority claimed by President Bush.

"Obama’s advisers are not embracing the more disputed Bush contention that the president has inherent power under the Constitution to detain terrorism suspects indefinitely regardless of Congress," Baker writes.

In a statement to Baker, the Justice Department said, “The administration would rely on authority already provided by Congress [and] is not currently seeking additional authorization.”

“The position conveyed by the Justice Department in the meeting last week broke no new ground and was entirely consistent with information previously provided by the Justice Department to the Senate Armed Services Committee,” the statement added.

Roughly 50 detainees of the more than 200 still held at the US prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba are thought to be affected by the decision.

50,000 Muslims to appear at White House to claim "Our Time Has Come"

It just keeps getting more and more insane by the minute. I can hardly believe this but it's for real -- check the links to their website.

"This was sent to me from a friend and well known author...I consider it totally credible although I have not personally researched it. I think that all of us should be angered... not just Christians.

I don’t know about you folks but I am getting a bit tired of this kind of stuff. If you don’t think this movement needs national opposition...read up on what has happened to every nation these people set up shop.
Fred"

Yesterday we saw that the flag of the communist People's Republic of China will now be flown in the south lawn of the White House.

Today we learn that "A Day of Islamic Unity" is going to be held on Capitol Hill, with an anticipated 50,000 Islamic worshippers. Go to the web site for this event -- which, by the way, is called "The Movement" -- and look at the words at the bottom of the home page: OUR TIME HAS COME.

If you click on the link on that page to "Program" you'll see this headline:

50,000 believers in the Greatness of Allah praying for the greater good of all people.

Of course, in the religion of Islam, the "greater good of all people" means you must be converted to Islam, or die. Those aren't my words. Those are the words of their own Koran.

This is getting pretty serious folks. This is not play stuff. We are being overrun from all sides. And it is getting high time we stand our ground as Christians and do something about it.

If At First You Don't Secede…

'Mass immigration, economic decline, and moral degradation' will trigger a civil war in the United States

Last winter the predictions of Russian analyst Igor Panarin made quite a splash. It may prove salutary to revisit Panarin’s forecasts. Because of the economic crisis, Obama-Care, et al., things tend to get lost in the shuffle.

According to Andrew Osborne’s article in the WSJ (Wall Street Journal), Panarin predicts that “mass immigration, economic decline, and moral degradation” will trigger a civil war in the United States.

According to Panarin, we can expect civil war to erupt just about—what time is it?—now.

(Article continues below)

Panarin, who has been making this forecast since 1998, reiterated last year that civil war will break out in the U.S. sometime in the fall of 2009. It now being the fall of 2009, you may want to keep on your toes.

He says that as a result of the civil war, America will break up into pieces.

According to Panarin, by late next spring, or early next summer, the U.S. will have divided itself into six segments—with the west coast and the northeast coast of the United States going to China and the European Union, respectively.

No more Boxer, Pelosi, Franks, Rangel, Leahy, Waxman—my, the list just goes on.

You can imagine my sadness as I wave goodbye to Massachusetts, Vermont, Oregon, and California —“Wahoo! So long—adios! Don’t feel any need to call or write! Don’t let the screen door… never-mind. Wait—you forgot Chicago!”

Goodbye, and good riddance. Infest some other country with your lame-brained economics, asinine policies, and vociferous whining. I feel better just thinking about it.

In Shakespeare’s words, “Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished.”

But, alas, it’s nothing more than a wistful fantasy.

The idea of seceding from the United States, or breaking up the United States into ideologically cohesive units, are simply not viable solutions. If at first you don’t secede—don’t.

The collectivists (communists, fascists, Marxists, statists, whatever) are intent on a global hegemony. They will not be satisfied with merely breaking up the United States, They will come after all remaining pockets of capitalism and free enterprise—count on it. Any such diminished entities will be easy pickings.

Also, there is the fact that because they control Hollywood and the media, and tend to be such obnoxious loudmouths, the Far Left appear to comprise more of the population then they actually do. It’s one of Alinsky’s rules—make the enemy think that there are more of you than there really are.

Which is not to say that there are not a lot of 0-bots, but to point out that there are many more patriotic Americans in all parts of the U.S., then one might suspect—even in Massachusetts, Vermont, Oregon, and California. In fact, these long silent patriots are bestirring themselves in great numbers. Thank God. (There are a substantial number of Democrats among them—welcome aboard).

It’s worth noting that Panarin worked for years at the KGB, and that after the dissolution of the former USSR, he worked for the Russian FAPSI—the Russian equivalent of our NSA, National Security Agency.

Panarin has based his predictions on classified Russian intelligence documents. Do you think it’s possible that he knows something we don’t?

Panarin says that after the collapse of the United States of America, Communist China and a re-emergent Communist Russia, will control the world—coming soon to a planet near you. Going by Panarin’s forecast, by this time next year it will all be a fait accompli. It’s no wonder that Congress is so dismissive of us hoi polloi.

The Obama administration has ignored a debt of staggering proportions (a debt owed to Communist China), has tried to saddle the U.S. with crippling economic policies, has seized control of most of the U.S. auto industry, has to a large extent gobbled up banking, has implemented a “stimulus” package that ignores small business—the source of 90% of American jobs. (A “stimulus” package written by the Apollo Alliance, which is headed by rabid anti-American domestic terrorist Jeff Jones).

They have stuffed the administration with radical, wack-job czars, they are attacking the CIA, and are aiding and abetting anti-American terrorists.

The list goes on—and on. Can there be any doubt about what the Obama Administration intends for the U.S.? The answer is no, unless you are a kool-aid drinking O-bot, or are exceptionally slow at grasping the nature of things.

The options at this point, really come down to choosing a reactive civil war, or a pro-active civil war. Do we want to be manipulated and maneuvered down a timeline not of our choosing, or take preemptive action on our own terms?

The situation is not going to simply disappear by wishing it away. We need to get our heads out of the sand, and get our butts in gear.

And pray—“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”

The Far Left, which is based on greed, narcissism, and lies, does not understand spirituality and truth. For “the light shines in the darkness; and the darkness comprehends it not.” They don’t know our strength.

There is infinite power, energy, and guidance that we can avail ourselves of, and definite cause for hope.

Regardless, America does not go down on our watch. Not on our watch.
