As the world braces for what could be the greatest “natural” disaster of the century, on bated breath we wait; are we really facing a hamdemic of aporkalyptical proportions?
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) claim that only ten deaths, one Mexican national in Texas and nine in Mexico, are directly linked to H1N1 (Swine Flu for those politically incorrect).
This newly tabulated data differs from the prior 159 calculated deaths of Mexican officials. Shortly after phase 4 was reached WHO and the Mexican government began to sing another tune. Even now in phase 5 Mexico is claiming 12-15 confirmed fatalities while WHO is holding steady at nine.
As Homeland Security preps for an imminent pandemic, scientists from the CDC and WHO suggest that the flu is very mild and that panic is nonsensical. WHO even has gone as far as to warn the public against alarmist predictions. (This is beginning to sound like a bad Abbot and Costello bit)
Yet with all the data spewing out of the UN controlled WHO, leaked documents and first hand testimonials of doctors on the front line reveal the ugly nature of propaganda; someone is lying to convolute the truth.
From the onset of the outbreak in Mexico doctors were leaking information on blogs and comment threads about their government concealing the truth. The Telegraph.co.uk ran the article “Mexican authorities accused of initial cover up over swine flu,” on the 27th of April. Most of the information gathered for the article was from a BBC news piece titled, “Swine Flu: Your experiences.”
Nationally Syndicated radio talk show host Alex Jones claimed to have received a classified document stating that the CDC was intentionally misinforming the public about the risks and spread of the illness.
According to the document, which he has yet to fully disclose, Phase 6 will probably be initiated by Monday the 4th of May, and that the mortality rate is much higher than reported.
Supposed leaked documents and anecdotal evidence does little to fill in the gaps, due to the obvious reason of reliability. Just who is saying what, and why is it being said? As if to confirm or complicate the matter further, shortly after Mr. Jones received the document his websites were hacked and have undergone a constant barrage of denial of service requests which took down infowars.com multiple times.
Sources close to Steve Quayle, radio talk show host and renowned conspiracy theorist similar to that of Jack Mclamb, report seeing shipments of Tamiflu arrive at guarded instillations, FEMA trailers on route to major cities, and a flurry of military repositioning. Seems like a lot of movement for a mild influenza virus.
Mr. Quayle theorizes that the flu was just stage one of the New World Order’s plan to bring in forced vaccinations, quarantines, and FEMA camps for those who dissent. His timeframe is quickly vanishing as he sees stage two of the globalists’ agenda to appear in the next few days.
The media’s attempt to calm fears and appear credible revolves around reminding the public that about 36,000 people die every year from the common flu. While yet in the same breath discuss the possibility of martial law in America.
Most of the Americans questioned reveal an eerie solidarity. Whether conspiracy minded, or establishment focused the major consensus is that the media and government alike are hyping the evidence to either distract, or to acquire new powers. Nearly all of the individuals I interviewed feel that they are being sold fear, and therefore reject the idea that H1N1 should be something to worry about.
Speculations abound as to why there exists conflict in the number dead. Why countries on one hand state a low mortality rate and a decrease in infection, while at the same time shut down nonessential facilities (both here, Mexico, and elsewhere). All of it when put together seems complicated, incomplete, and at times comical.
Something appears to be missing. Why would the government continue to beat such an obviously dead horse? We must remember that the powers that be still remain, and that this situation will have its exploitations. Given the information at hand, what would be the purpose of the government saying one thing and doing another?
During my research of H1N1 and the missing link in the equation, I was reminded of a news report I heard when I was just a teenager. The media at the time was hyping the possibility of an asteroid impact with the earth. After a little digging I found this 1998 article which reports that the government and NASA were seeking a course of action that would neither confirm or denying the existence of an earth shattering impact for at least 72 hours.
Should the CDC/WHO follow the same guidelines as NASA, the public could be kept completely clueless to the severity of a lethal pandemic for at least 72 hours after discovery and confirmation of lethality. WHO officially moved to phase 5 on the 29th of April, declaring that more investigation was needed to move to the next phase.
The mystery surrounding the now infamous H1N1 will ultimately be answered within the weeks ahead. Either, the media and government are fear mongering, as most seem to subscribe to, or they are withholding information in fear of the anarchy that would ensue. Could it be that we are being sold something we are not meant to believe?
Infowars
April 28, 2009
Earlier this evening, Alex Jones’ flagship website, Infowars.com, came under a concerted denial of service (DoS) attack. The site was down for more than two hours.
The attacks are coming out of Japan. A Whois database search reveals the origin to be the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre in Milton, Australia.
DoS attacks usually consist of concerted efforts to shut down a web server by flooding the computer with requests and consuming its resources so that it is no longer available to users. DoS attacks commonly constitute violations of the laws of individual nations.
Over the last few days, Alex Jones and his websites have covered the so-called swine flu “pandemic” and have built a solid case that the outbreak is part of a larger campaign by the government to frighten the populace and institute martial law as specifically detailed in the Department of Defense’s “Implementation Plan for Pandemic Influenza” and other government documents. Alex Jones is the primary media source calling the government’s bluff on the bogus “pandemic” elevated earlier today to a level 5 under World Health Organization guidelines.
WHO Director-General Margaret Chan declared the phase 5 alert after consulting with flu experts from around the world. “All countries should immediately now activate their pandemic preparedness plans,” Chan told reporters in Geneva. “It really is all of humanity that is under threat in a pandemic.”
“All countries should immediately activate their pandemic preparedness plans,” the WHO declares. “This change to a higher phase of alert is a signal to governments, to ministries of health and other ministries, to the pharmaceutical industry and the business community that certain actions should now be undertaken with increased urgency, and at an accelerated pace.”
The Department of Homeland Security’s National Response Plan follows the same criteria in the case of a flu pandemic or terrorist attack and relies on the military — specifically the Northern Command — to respond to such events.
Alex Jones has featured a number of guests on his nationally syndicated radio show in the last few days that have outlined the government’s plan to use a bogus pandemic as an excuse to impose martial law and engage in forced vaccination. Guests have also noted the eugenics endgame of the ruling elite, determined to reduce world population to 500 million, as stated on the Georgia Guidestones.
A number of U.S. military cyber attacks have originated out of Japan where there is a large military presence.
Over the last few years, the Pentagon has developed an “offensive” cyber capability against “adversaries,” including DoS attacks. In the Pentagon’s “Information Operation Roadmap” document, it is stated that the military “must fight the Net.” The Pentagon believes the internet needs to be dealt with as if it were an enemy “weapons system.”
Finally, here is a list of specific IP addresses and other information related to the attack:

Talk of F.E.M.A. camps, coffins, and mass graves is becoming more of a norm in the media than one
would care to admit. But is all this talk just simple conspiracy theory, or is there something else behind the reports, and YouTube videos? Could it be possible that the US Government is gearing up for something big?
Concentration camps can be found littered throughout the pages of American history. The Natives suffered the wrath of our young government on more than one occasion within the confines of forced relocation and sanctioned territories. On December 29, 1835 the Treaty of New Echota was approved by Andrew Jackson, Congress, and a relatively small political party of Cherokee. The treaty sought to remove the tribe from Georgia and the surrounding area in response to a land dispute over the Indian Removal Act of 1830. In 1838, Jackson’s successor President Martin Van Buren, ordered that federal troops (consisting of Army personal, militia members, and volunteers) escort approximately 13,000 Cherokee people from their native land to issued Indian Territory (Oklahoma). This journey took the lives of more than 4000 Cherokee, and is commonly remembered as the Trail of Tears.
From 1917-1918 Hot Springs, North Carolina became the site where German nationals were held on the basis of being suspected “alien enemies.” On April 6 1917, President Woodrow Wilson announced that the United States would engage in the First World War. At the time of declaration German ships were docked at American ports, just as German immigrants were waiting on Ellis Island. With the use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 President Wilson was able to seize and detain crew, cargo, and immigrants. The Act grants the President, in a time of war, the authority to arrest and detain any and all peoples of “enemy ancestry.” Thousands of Germans were held in an internment camp on the grounds of the Mountain Park Hotel in Hot Springs North Carolina.
The year was 1942, and by President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s stroke of a pen Executive Order 9066 authorized the Secretary of War, and military commanders to setup and control vast regions of American soil. The subsequent actions led to internment camps and the detainment of over 110,000 Japanese, many of which were legal citizens. Families were forced to sell what they could or abandon property in order to report to the designated stations within the time allotted. On March 11, 1942 Executive Order 9095 created the Office of the Alien Property Custodian; this order gave the federal government authority over all alien property and assets. Many accounts were frozen, creating immediate financial difficulty, preventing most from moving out of the zones created under order 9066. Many Japanese were left with only the clothes on their backs.
George Orwell’s infamous 1984 novel turned blockbuster, did more than spur the public into a hodgepodge of conspiracy theorists. The date interestingly coincided with a government plan in support of CoG (Continuity of Government) known as Rex 84. Stated bluntly, CoG could be defined as a means to keep the Federal government running in the course of decapitation of the executive and/or legislative branch(s), use of W.M.D’s (weapons of Mass Destruction) within the US (which could result in decapitation), or civil unrest (revolution). Rex 84 is but a part of the equation of CoG, and not the entirety.
Diana Reynolds’ article “The Rise of the National Security State: FEMA and the NSC,” which was published in Covert Action Information Bulletin #33 in the winter of 1990, still stands as the most popular public report on Rex 84. At the time of publication she was reportedly a Research Associate and Program Director at the Edward R. Murrow Center, The Fletcher School, and Tufts University. No other information is readily available as to her current whereabouts and/or occupation.
As quoted from said article:
The Rex-84 Alpha Explan (Readiness Exercise 1984, Exercise Plan; otherwise known as a continuity of government plan) indicates that FEMA in association with 34 other federal civil departments and agencies, along with other NATO nations, conducted a civil readiness exercise during April 5-13, 1984. It was conducted in coordination and simultaneously with a Joint Chiefs exercise, Night Train 84, a worldwide military command post exercise (including Continental U.S. Forces or CONUS) based on multi-emergency scenarios operating both abroad and at home. In the combined exercise, Rex-84 Bravo, FEMA and DOD led the other federal agencies and departments, including the Central Intelligence Agency, the Secret Service, the Treasury, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Veterans Administration through a gaming exercise to test military assistance in civil defense.
The exercise anticipated civil disturbances, major demonstrations and strikes that would affect continuity of government and/or resource mobilization. To fight subversive activities, there was authorization for the military to implement government ordered movements of civilian populations at state and regional levels, the arrest of certain unidentified segments of the population, and the imposition of martial law.
Public awareness of Rex 84 and CoG initiatives broke into mainstream during the Iran-Contra scandal and congressional hearings in 1987. The controversy hit the airwaves when Jack Brooks (D-TX), claimed that he read in Miami papers of a CoG plan that would suspend the Constitution. Upon delivery of a question to Lt Col. Oliver North pertaining to his knowledge and role in the above-mentioned plan Chairman Daniel Inouye (D-HI) immediately snubbed the inquiry, asking that the topic “not be touched upon at this time.” The article of which Rep. Brooks was referring to was published on July 5, 1987 in the Miami Herald written by Alfonso Chardy titled, “Reagan Aides and the ‘Secret’ Government.”
Lack of information regarding Rex 84 and CoG operations has led seekers of political history down a rabbit-hole of speculation, theories, and misinformation. This conundrum is perpetrated through the government’s denial and classification of the facts. Whereas it is clearly evident that the US Government has built, operated, and detained people in internment camps; is it crazy to think that plans are in place to do so again? Perhaps a detailed review of current operations and initiatives could clear up the picture.
To Be Continued…
My wife and I were talking the other night trying to assimilate the current 180 in the Obama administration. The rhetoric has changed from that of crisis and concern to now recovery and sound principles. My ears tingled as I knew that I had heard this once before. I thought, was it McCain during the his run for office in which this statement was made, or perhaps, was it yet still another time, farther back, when Bush and his cronies were talking up the economy? After a little digging I found a 2002 Houston Chronicle article by Michael Hedges which states:
Jul. 29–WASHINGTON–Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill said Sunday the U.S. economy was fundamentally sound despite a dive in stock prices, and he defended himself against charges of being absent during a time of market volatility.
“Out there in our economy, out there in Main Street, the real growth in our economy is moving just as we thought it would,” O’Neill said on NBC’s Meet The Press. “The fundamentals are really quite good.”
O’Neill made the rounds of network news shows Sunday, seeking to reassure Americans that the worst is over after a stock market meltdown that has shaved trillions of dollars from retirement accounts and investment portfolios.
“We’re going to see growth as we go out the end of this year…
This classic dichotomy of a left right showdown is starting to grow old. Opinions change more regularly than the tides pull in and out, and yet the public appears duped into to believing the theatre of the politicians. The attention span of the masses could be comparable to that of goldfish. If it is not in plain view surrounded by glittery lights, accompanied with hordes of talking head wailing about the pros or cons, it slips through seams. Off into the memory hole of which history exists.
Still the concern of the sudden shift in Obama’s approach held me fast. Why would anyone, truly worried about the current economic situation, begin to talk up the economy when nothing of great significance has changed? In fact, as you look closer, while the Dow Jones continues to climb so does oil. Should this relationship continue we could be well on our way back to $4.00 a gallon gas. Yet another interesting and probably unrelated parallel is the relation to the value of the Dollar to that of the Dow. Since the decline really began picking up steam in September of 08’ the Dollar has had a marvelous rebound. This regaining of strength has convoluted the economic playing field, confusing the likes of Peter Schiff of Euro Pacific Capital, whose insight nailed the downturn years before. Now with the Dow surging back the Dollar is acting accordingly, it’s falling in value.
As it stands America is broke, struggling to find investors, and mixed up in two pointless unwinnable wars. Sounds like a recipe for the start of World War III. Lest we not forget the warnings of Colin Powell, Madeline
Albright, Joe Biden, and Dick Cheney about Obama’s testing to come within six months of his inauguration. Approaching month four of his presidency, Obama has yet to make the unpopular decisions of which the good intentions of the US government will not be evident, as Biden had warned. He called upon the American people to stand behind the president even though it appears wrong to do so when the incident arises.
Politics is theatre for the masses. Slick used car salesmen adorning finely crafted masks and suits parade before the window of your mind, just outside of reality. They tell you what you want to hear, in hopes you remain ignorant. Obama is playing his role, and as I might say, he is doing it superbly. A man of change, a vision of hope his purpose is to appear successful. What better cover could you ask for when the next 9/11 topples the house of cards to the ground? Surely you cannot blame the Obama team, everything was on track. The economy was strong, and the principles were sound.
Straining for a glimpse of fertile soil, a ship is found leaking, the powers do toil.
Don’t you see?
Don’t you see?
The course is right and true, the end is now certain. We are within view.
Below the bowels are aching, stressed from the weight of the water she taking.
Shouts of concern race through the halls. The alarm is faint, barely piercing through walls.
Crew and common gather in awe, as the captain stands pointing strong and tall.
I’ve answered your prayers, and restored your faith. In turn I ask for an oath to partake.
Your vow to me is a bond to all. It limits the large and raises the small.
Give unto me the plight in your life, and I will lead to a grand new height.
Don’t you see?
Don’t you see?
The course is right and true, the end is now certain. We are within view.
Retreating from the thunderous applause, the captain retires with the masters of laws.
Gathering within the confines of his quarters, they worry about riches, dividing the plunders.
How long will this last? The cry from beneath grows louder and louder. This won’t work forever.
Should the leakage continue we will surely lose cover. They are bound to find out sooner or later.
We must quite the call, we must kill this traitor.
Let us round up the men, and ask them to serve. Tell them they’re needed, and challenge their nerve.
Don’t you see?
Don’t you see?
The course is right and true, the end is now certain. We are within view.
This voice that we fret concerns us no more. We will keep it from sight, erasing the gore.
Lock up this shriek, let the charge be mutiny. We will keep it from eyes of unwelcomed scrutiny.
The rest being drunk on our wine; we will put them to use, we will keep them inline.
Blur their focus and distract them with games. Let their minds be saturated one in the same.
When push comes to shove force won’t be needed. They’ll give in not knowing that they’re defeated.
We can take what we want, dispose of the rest. We will escape the collapse and leave with the best.
Don’t you see?
Don’t you see?
The course is right and true, the end is now certain. We are within view.
President George W. Bush says that he’s in a sprint for the finish line, as the countdown begins. Since his “election” eight years ago, this statement stands unique as truth. Within the last few months of his Presidency we have seen all of the questions miraculously answered, and a sealing of the deal in regards to illegal wiretaps.
9/11 and the events aftermath, for the last seven years has been clouded in secrecy, lies, and unconfirmed theories by both the government and the media. Somehow, in the late stages of Bush’s term, the establishment punched through the red-tape and provided the people with answers.
The reporting media is not reminding people of the time that it took to produce the answers, or the lack of physical evidence. They are simply touting the official story as fact. We saw such behavior leading up to and during the Iraq war. The media spent millions selling the war to Americans. Fox News, and the like, continues to depict the government as the highest credible source. Those that confuse authority with accuracy need to realize the flaw in their logic.
The Nation Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently concluded that WTC building 7 collapsed due to fire. Shyam Sunder, NIST’s leading researcher on the WTC buildings, states that “Heating of floor beams and girders caused a critical support column to fail, initiating a fire-induced progressive collapse that brought the building down.”
An accusation of such should have irrefutable proof backed with experiments, documentation, and hard
evidence. NIST insists that video and photographic evidence, coupled with sophisticated computer simulations support the fire-induced collapse theory. Sunder refutes the theory of explosives by claiming that the sound of explosions would be heard up to half a mile away in the range of 130 decibels. NIST provides no hard evidence, and no real proof. They attempt to explain away the event as a freak accident that has never occurred in history by the use of computer simulations. Given the right time and money anything can be done with a computer.
While NIST was working through their “evidence” the FBI caught a huge break on the Anthrax attacks of 2001. For seven years the FBI has been trying to pin down the suspect(s), and bring them to justice. Steven J. Hatfill remained the person of interest for years until he sued the government and won a settlement of over 5 million dollars. Only in bush’s final months was the case, supposedly, solved and closed.
The American people were led to believe that a lone, disturbed bio-scientist for no reason, other than to cause havoc, hand wrote letters supporting Islamic radical ideology, dated them 9-11-01, filled them with Anthrax, and mailed them to media and political figures. Luckily, the FBI’s suspect could not defend himself after committing suicide just before they filed charges. No judge, no jury, and once again, no evidence; case closed. Friends, family, and associates continue to dispute the “official” story, and hold firm that Bruce E. Ivins did not carry out the Anthrax attacks.
From the ashes of the World Trade Center, to the fog of confusion surrounding the Anthrax attacks President Bush sought to cripple the terrorist forces by attacking the Bill of Rights. The Patriot Act and its extension, Patriot Act II, destroyed the limitations of the American government to intervene and spy on its citizens. With new procedures signed into rule, and with near to no congregational oversight, the American idea of freedom was lost in the shuffle. We have become a society accustom to random searches, checkpoints, and 24/7 surveillance.
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Amendments Act, otherwise known as H.R. 6304, retroactively granted immunity to telecommunication companies involved in spying on Americans. The initiative passed the Senate on July 9th 2008 with 69% of the Senate in favor of the Bill. The President signed the Bill into law that very day, which took effect on the 10th. Now, not only can the government listen in on all of your communications, but there is nothing that you can do about it.
When the President said he was rushing to the end, he sure wasn’t joking. From the looks of it the months to come will fill the holes, and smooth the surface of a Presidency gone rogue.
According to the Denver Post, about 100 protesters were arrested Monday at the DNC. Around 7 p.m. last night police in riot gear pepper sprayed a crowd congregating outside the civic center. The police say that demonstrators charged the police line after being instructed to disperse. The Denver police maintain that they warned the crowd that they would use pepper spray if they did not comply with city ordinances.
As it stands this is the first instance of mass arrests at the DNC, but not the most covered. The AP is reporting that three suspected “white supremacists” were plotting to kill Barak Obama. The FBI along with the Denver police detained and arrested Tharin Gartrell, 28, Shawn Robert Adolph, 33, and Nathan Johnson, 32. The FBI is not revealing anymore details of the case other than what was found in Mr. Gartrell’s truck. Among the confiscated items were two rifles, walkie-talkies, and a bullet proof vest.
Aggression flared Monday, as Alex Jones confronted Michelle Malkin. Malkin is a Conservative journalist known for her support for FEMA internment camps. Alex can be seen pressuring Mrs. Malkin to give a response to her thoughts about secret prisons for Americans. During the confrontation an unknown source steps in front of Alex, clearly violating his space, and proceeds to yell in his face. Alex claims that the individual shoved him and in response he pushed him back, throwing him a few feet.
The media is claiming that Alex, in turn, called for Malkin’s murder, though the footage clearly shows that another group, not in association with Alex or We Are Change, was responsible for the remarks.
As the DNC gears up in Denver, gathering protesters grow fearful of police retaliation. Among the groups present are We Are Change, Alex Jones, and Recreate 68. We Are Change Colorado; the same group that brought you: secret detention center made for the DNC, is claiming that Recreate 68 is a government inspired provocateur group. We are Change proposes that 68’s purpose is to bring chaos, and an excuse for police intervention against the Truth movement.
Premade signs stacked ready for hands mention 9/11, but only in reference to discredit the movement. Recreate 68 is even offering self-defense training in case police or other protesters get violent. A Fox reporter was caught being mobbed by the group, while attempting to get an interview, as the crowd chanted, “Fuck Fox News.”
Riot-gear, acoustic weapons, and the National Guard stand ready. Steel fences separate the masses from the chosen few. A not-so-secret detention facility awaits occupants. Orders are to be on the lookout for people with maps, camping equipment, radios, and bicycles.
These sweeping characteristics of possible threats allow authorities to pick and choose their target. Those involved in the 9/11 Truth movement agree and promote a peaceful protest. Alex Jones has arranged to appear nightly on Coast to Coast AM with updates, and if you know Alex, the cameras are most certainly rolling.
On the lighter side of the DNC, a proposition was made to suspend enforcement of marijuana possession, up to an ounce per person, during the time of the convention. Police spokesman Sonny Jackson, as
reported by USA Today states, “We’ve always enforced the state statute. That was the law before the initiative and it’s nothing new. I don’t know why we’d relax any law.” So if you heard that it was OK to have a little toke while at the DNC, think again.
Hopefully the rights of the protestors will be upheld and spared from becoming the shit on the bottom of a police officer’s boot.
At first it was Afghanistan, and then it was Iraq. Soon to come was North Korea, and then Iran. The extent to which this President has attempted to police the world, and fellow Americans, has undoubtedly set a new standard.
As if the global events playing out with American troops in the Middle East were not enough. 
Israel continues to push hard for an American “green-light” on a preemptive strike against Iran. The harsh words of the U.S. and the sanctions agreed to by the UN, appears to have taken a backseat. America has even gone as far as to reject sales of Boeing 767 aircraft to Israel, in fear that they would use them to attack Iran.
This is bizarre behavior from an administration that mentioned Iran and World War III in the same breath. If Iran is truly as evil as the President has made them out to be, what changed?
The 8/8/08 attack by Georgia on the seceded territory of South Ossetia is growing into a global catastrophe. As most news savvy people understand, Russia retaliated against Georgia at South Ossetia’s request, and has occupied Georgian cities for about two weeks. Russia claims that it has withdrawn its forces as of Friday, and will continue to hold the line at the South Ossetia border.
Debate rages as to what is to be defined as Georgia’s territory, and who threw the first punch. Western media outlets portray Russia as the overreacting, instigating opposition in need of taming. President Bush and the UN, in lockstep, continue touting the words, “Georgia’s territorial integrity.” While Russia has made it very clear that it will never allow South Ossetia or Abkhazia to fall under control of Georgia.
Lines drawn deep in the sand are isolating Russia from the UN, and sparking speculations about a new Cold War. Russia continues to turn up the heat by stating that it will consider rearming its Baltic fleet with nuclear warheads, flatten Poland into parking lot, and setup a defensive missile system in Syria.
This build up, and aggressive stance by Russia should come as no surprise to those familiar with the U.S. sponsored Czech-Poland missile defense shield program. How do you think America would respond to a Russian-backed, missile defense shield in Mexico and Canada?
There is a definite need to deescalate the situation in Russia. Provoking the Russians by surrounding them with “defensive missiles,” portraying them as an evil occupying force, and continuous support of the perpetrating government will only lead to a Cold War standoff, at best.
Over a month has passed since the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the people’s right to keep and bear arms. Apparently, the actual words written in the Bill of Rights were too confusing for some of the Judges. Passing by only one vote, the narrow miss in D.C. was far too close for comfort.
There is no doubt that the National Rifle Association, the nation’s largest gun owners association in America, was relieved by the vote. With over 4 million members, the NRA is a force to be reckoned with. They have fought and danced with politicians for years in favor of individual gun ownership. Yet with such a seemingly huge victory the NRA is caught having to fight for the most important aspect of any Constitutional right; enforcement. On July 31st, in cooperation with the NRA Congressmen Travis Childers, John Dingell, John Tanner, Mike Ross and Mark Souder introduced a bi-partisan bill to the Senate as (H.R. 6691).
This legislation hopes to overturns D.C.’s recently enacted emergency laws that continues to defy the Supreme Court ruling by restricting District of Columbia residents’ right to self-defense. The simple fact that a group of Congressmen and the voice of over 4 million Americans have to stand and demand that the Constitution be upheld, in the very city that literally houses the document, is insane.
Chief of Police, Cathy Lanier has been quoted as stating that the city is not banning the private ownership of handguns, “Many officers, government agents, and security officials own guns.” Can we say Police State? Remember this is Washington D.C. we are talking about, not some parallel u
niverse were the most powerful people work to protect the Constitution, yet do nothing to enforce it, or is it?
The unfortunate truth behind the Supreme Court ruling on District of Columbia vs. Heller is that a gun has become limited to self-defense within the home. This description of use castrates the greatest force in the system of checks and balances, “We the People.”
The Second Amendment states, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” The amendment was designed for the security of a “free state”, by means of a “well regulated Militia” consisting of all gun owning Americans, in which all citizens have an immovable right to own guns.
The security mentioned was not just from enemies abroad, but from government in general. The American Revolution, Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights were created out of revolt against what was once our government.
