Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia Dies Unexpectedly: No Foul Play Suspected? REALLY??


What Really May Have Happened?


Americans ought to view with skeptical incredulity the sudden death of a prominent Supreme Court Justice, who was not only a key intellectual in the Constitutional movement, but a formidable opponent of and barrier to the efforts of New World Order Marxists which have been aggressively employed to test and rupture the foundations of our Republic, of fundamental human rights and of individual liberty – especially when, from the start, reports of his death were accompanied by unprompted denials of foul play, followed by a quick decision to forego an autopsy or any kind of investigation. A vitally important political figure dies unexpectedly (arguably among the most influential political and juridical figures of the Twentieth Century), first reports of which declare emphatically “No, he wasn't murdered; no, really, he wasn't!” – and no one finds that suspicious, especially given the fact that in most populated areas of our country, one could probably throw a stone in any direction and stand a good chance of hitting someone with a motive to kill the man? No one wants to even check, via autopsy, whether there might be suspicious marks on his body or something suspiciously wrong with his blood chemistry? REALLY?? Something is rotten in Denmark, and I can smell it all the way over here in Wisconsin...

This video mentions Dr. Carroll Quigley, who was Chair of the Political Science department at Georgetown University in the 1960s. Read his book, which reveals more about clandestine efforts involving Western governments and global business interests, free online in .pdf form, at Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time. It is also available from Amazon, here.

Then, to illuminate Quigley's work and the impact of what it reveals, also read W. Cleon Skousen's, The Naked Capitalist: a Review and Commentary on Dr. Carroll Quigley's Book Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time.

Support Impeachment of President Barack Hussein Obama!


I was sent an email last night, by an Anonymous sender, regarding the Articles of Impeachment against President Barack Hussein Obama, that will be considered by the Republican National Committee (RNC) on January 13, 2016. The email encouraged its recipients to spread the news of these Articles as widely as possible, and urged them to also notify their local RNC delegates and legislators of their support for his Impeachment. I have done, and am doing, these things.

I agree with and support an effort to impeach President Obama, for the reasons stated in the Anonymous letter, and more. Yes, even though it is only months before the end of President Obama’s second term and the Constitutional end of his Presidency, and even though the effort to impeach him, if successful in the House will most likely fail to result in conviction in the Senate, and even though the impact will likely be no more than symbolic and serve to generate alot of negative press, we are, in fact, duty-bound to pursue this course of action. President Obama is not just guilty of forty-eight infractions against the U.S. Constitution, as if they were single acts committed in a point of time somewhere in the past, but, being guilty of these infractions, he remains in continuous violation of the U.S. Constitution. What’s more, these violations, if they are not undone by the President or the People, will carry into the next administration. That is, the violations will continue, unless we act. Moreover, every single one of the forty-eight infractions is, itself, an impeachable act. If we do not act to impeach President Obama, we are defaulting on our obligations as citizens of the United States, and will lose our Republic.

The email that I was sent included two links. One link was to an interview of Stephen Pidgeon, who is a primary contributor to the drafting of the Articles of Impeachment against President Obama. The second link was to the Articles themselves. I have included both the video and the Articles, below. I have also included a copy of the letter I was Anonymously sent. Please note the tone of urgency in that letter. It was written by an evidently intelligent person, who, on the basis of President Obama’s ongoing violations of the Constitution, is afraid to reveal his identity.

May God Bless America ...even though we don’t deserve it.

An ANONYMOUS LETTER Urgently Encouraging Support for
The Impeachment of President Obama

Dear Friend and Fellow Sovereign Citizen,

This is a serious message. Though I (the sender) know you personally, or am at least acquainted with you, please pardon my use of Anonymous email -- just as Publius wrote anonymously just prior to the American Revolution, so do I for my own protection, as I no longer have confidence that our political establishment is any more inclined to protect the People by vigorously acting against government infractions of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, than they are by acting against ongoing rampant infractions of the Second, Fourth and Tenth Amendments. I am sending this note to you, as I have to about a thousand others, in hopes that you can help draw public attention to what is clearly now our Civic Duty: the Impeachment of President Obama.

As you may well know, with the assistance of the North American Law Center (http://www.northamericanlawcenter.org/), Articles of Impeachment against President Obama have been recently drafted, and are scheduled for consideration by the Republican National Committee (RNC) at their meeting this week, on January 13, 2016. Despite support for his impeachment among average Americans (who have for years been calling for it), the leadership of the RNC, along with prominent career politicians, are far from enthusiastic about the idea. A link to the Articles is provided below. In addition, a link to an interview with a key contributor to those Articles is also provided. The links are listed in the open, so that you can see they are legitimate. Please visit those links (you may have to copy and paste the links into your browser) and give strong consideration to their content. After viewing/reading those links, I ask you to please contact your local RNC delegate, and your legislators, to urge support for the Impeachment of President Obama. Please also forward this email to everyone you know, or post it on your Blog or Facebook page, encouraging them to do the same.

Please understand the urgency behind this. President Obama, as an open enemy of our Republic, and of the very ideals of Liberty (which for centuries since the Renaissance and Enlightenment have everywhere served to equip the common man with education, given him promise, endowed him with purpose, lifted him out of poverty and beknighted him with dignity), has been in continuous violation of the Constitution -- the world's sole bearer of those ideals -- in at least forty-eight instances according to the Articles of Impeachment that have been drafted against him; he has used these violations to commit fraud against the People of the United States, to abuse the Power of the Executive Office, and to aid and abet our Nation's enemies, making us vulnerable to those who hate us; thus he has, in the final words of the Articles of Impeachment, "acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States."

We, the People, must act swiftly. President Obama has deliberately acted to weaken and demoralize our Nation, and appears now to be poised to unleash bloody mayhem across our Country, and, in coordination with other world leaders, throughout Europe as well, in order to justify a declaration of Martial Law -- ushering in the establishment of a dictatorship to restore and maintain order, and affecting the permanent collapse of Western Civilization. A classic recipe for coup d'etat, it has been prepared to serve the West in its entirety. If the People will not act to stop him now, it is likely that we will not make it to the elections in November. We have simply run out of time. We must act, NOW!

But even if this were not the case, even if this were mere "conspiracy theory" -- as President Obama has been forced to publicly refer to it in defense of his recent attacks against the Second Amendment -- even if he has not deliberately invited civil unrest and swung open the doors of our nation to wanton terrorists and criminals that they may generate fear and ignite violence in our country... consider this: it is now public knowledge that President Obama -- winner of the Nobel Peace Prize -- is intent upon leading the world as U.N. Secretary General, the spectre of which has our only friend and trusted ally in the Middle East, Israel, quivering with fear. President Obama, a narcissistic prima donna, has ambitions of being President of the World. President Bill Clinton entertained the same notions, but the public indictment of the People against him -- his Impeachment by the House of Representatives in 1998 -- made that politically impossible. If we have any concern for the people of the world, we must act to Impeach President Obama, we must act to preserve them from the kind of disaster wrought by him in our own Country.

Again, after giving strong consideration to the content in the links below, please contact your local RNC delegate, and your legislators, to urge support for the Impeachment of President Obama. Please also forward this email to everyone you know, or post it on your Blog or Facebook page, encouraging them to do the same.

Time is short. Don't hesitate to act. Your country, and the future of the free world, depend on you.

NSA Bluffdale facility to store over 5 zetabytes of surveilance data on sovereign American citizens


Back in the 1990's, patriotic citizens already knew that Americans were the most surveiled and dossiered people in the history of the world – more so than citizens under the Fascist or Communist regimes of Hitler or Stalin. Of great concern at that time was the liberty destroying implications of RICO, FINCEN, "Know Your Customer" and other similar interdiction philosophies, legislation and law enforcement policies and programs. The philosophy of the most former of these, RICO, threatened to invert one of the fundamentals of American liberty – the presumption of innocence until proof of guilt has been unanimously ratified by a jury of one's peers – by designating everyone as a potential suspect of criminal activity except those who could be positively ruled out as such. This philosophy represented a complete reversal of investigation policies which, prior to RICO, respected the presumption of innocence (and the Eighth Commandment) by requiring evidence of a crime having actually been committed BEFORE investigation could justifiably begin, and by limiting potential suspects to those who could be positively connected to the alleged crime. Instead, RICO legitimized the legal philosophy that everyone is a potential criminal and justified the indiscriminate, unwarranted and perpetual collection of data on all persons in a search for activity fitting various criminal profiles. FINCEN and "Know Your Customer" were two such data collection programs.

Sovereign citizens of the united States, concerned that such philosophies, policies and programs represented a threat to fundamental human rights that are enumerated in the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, were assured that FINCEN was only regional and targeted only interbank transactions already under reasonable suspicion of illegal activity, while "Know Your Customer" bank procedures were only the recommendations of the World Bank and were thus voluntary and not required. Most concerned citizens outside of the East Coast ignored FINCEN, while throughout the Nation, "Know Your Customer" was vigorously opposed by customers who urged their banks to decline participation in this program. By the close of the 1990's, "Know Your Customer" had been defeated in the marketplace, as banks which were known to implement it suffered a measurable loss of patronage as a result. Then came September 11, 2001, and soon after came the Patriot Act, an essentially unreviewed and significantly under-debated piece of legislation which nationalized FINCEN-types of data collection on all persons, mandated "Know Your Customer," and expanded the indiscriminate collection of data on all sovereign citizens, regardless of any fundamental human rights enumerated in the Constitution. Today, all non-cash transactions are tracked and recorded along with all banking activity. All online activity is recorded – all websites accessed, all emails sent. Everything.

These are violations of fundamental and necessary human rights, violations which rise to the vaulting heights of malicious aggression against sovereign citizens of the united States. Those who ignore or dismiss such violations and the dire consequences which necessarily descend from them are blathering fools. "I'm not doing anything wrong, so what do I care," is their first response. These are intellectual incompetents, who, like nothing more than animals, merely exist from one impulse to the next, with little capacity for contemplating the meaning of their own existence much less considering the benefit of others. Narrow, thoughtless "in-the-moment" pragmatists, they concern themselves only with filling their own bellies. Today. Only with securing their own comfort. Today. Only with the swiftest course of relieving themselves the pain of thinking and working. Today. They do not have the capacity or foresight to see, understand or appreciate that, once they abdicate their obligations in a system of self-government, what is "right" or what is "wrong" is entirely outside their control – is determined solely by an independent central authority who owes no person an explanation for what criteria constitutes right or wrong or suspicious activity, why or when those criteria change, or whether any of it really matters once political interests presume to interfere. The second response of these incompetents is to suggest that, "We need to make certain sacrifices to enjoy peace and security." And here is more evidence of the same, and so I repeat: Narrow, thoughtless "in-the-moment" pragmatists, they concern themselves only with filling their own bellies. Today. Only with securing their own comfort. Today. Only with the swiftest course of relieving themselves of the pain of thinking and of working. Today. No sovereign citizen, nor collection of such citizens, has the authority or can assume the prerogative to suspend the fundamental and enumerated human rights of any other sovereign citizen for any reason. Period. That is what it means to be a Sovereign. And that is what it means to be an American citizen: not a follower of so-called "leaders" in government (a Sovereign has no leaders in government), not a subordinate to the arbitrary rule of greater men (a collection of Sovereigns recognize no one "greater" among themselves), but a a Sovereign who voluntarily submits along with his fellow Sovereigns to the Rule of Law, which they collaboratively establish in the halls of representative government. Fools can voluntarily suspend their own rights, and abdicate their sovereignty for the supposed benefits their stupidity justifies, but they cannot suspend the fundamental enumerated human rights of others or force them from the privilege of sovereignty into serfdom. And what benefit could they derive from it anyway? Benjamin Franklin suggests, "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." Those lacking the personal capacity and grit for the intellectual and physical struggle to acquire and maintain liberty, even at the cost of temporary safety, get exactly what they deserve. When liberty is turned over to the State, it is never peacefully returned; such fools would trade liberty for safety, and embrace slavery in return – would gladly trade everyone's liberty for the promise of their own temporary safety, and consign the whole of society to a fearfully wretched state of servitude under the tyranny of arbitrary and ruthless State power.

In the wake of the Generals Allen and Petraeus scandals, William Binney, whistleblower and former NSA crypto-mathematician who served in the agency for decades, very simply and straightforwardly describes the magnitude of the government's data collection program. It started in the 1990's, accelerated swiftly under Bush following the Patriot Act, has continued to see considerable growth under Obama, and today, as Binney reports, the NSA is constructing a data center in Bluffdale, UT, capable of storing and managing over five zetabytes of data collected on sovereign American citizens.


Given that all data is simply stored, regardless of whether such activity is legal or even suspicious today, the reader should ask himself if the variety of data he accesses, uses and shares over a given period of time could be construed to suggest the profile of a criminal, or of someone harboring criminal sentiments? What kind of eBooks does he access, download and read, and what do they suggest regarding his psychological profile? What about twenty years from now? Is it possible that "hate speech" laws may be expanded by then to include the expression of religious conviction or the exercise or advocacy of Christian church practice – as it has already in Canada with respect to sexual orientation or in certain European countries fearful of fallout from criticism of Islam? Is it possible that certain political or economic philosophies, like democracy or capitalism, may be regarded as seditious in the near future and be punishable by imprisonment or execution – as in the former Soviet Union, China, Cuba and many other countries across the world through most of the 20th Century? In these or any other circumstances, is it possible that the data one accesses, uses or shares today could be construed in the future as evidence of a psychological profile characteristic of what is thought to be a criminal, or a political enemy? The answer is most assuredly and emphatically, Yes!.

The proper response to impending and tragic loss of individual sovereignty and liberty in this Nation, is not that of Lutheran Quietism, is not the political action taken by the passive citizen of fascist Germany who may have had his opinion but remained demonstrably impotent as Hitler engaged in wanton and maniacal policies of the Final Solution. The answer is not that of the witless, careless and lazy leach who floats through life singing, "Que Sira Sira, I have my faith, I know I'm going to heaven, everything is in God's hands, nothing else matters, Que Sira Sira." These are not the answers of a Sovereign who bears not only the right but the authority and obligation to make himself heard, especially in matters pertaining to his liberty as a Sovereign and thus also his ability to freely carry out his rights and responsibilities as such. Shame on the American citizen, and especially the Christian, who would take no notice of nor have any care over the dissipation of fundamental enumerated human rights, who would rather submit to unwarranted and continuous surveillance and psychological profiling by the governing authorities than trouble himself to be concerned, and who would gladly force his countrymen to do the same.

Good citizenship requires that one stay informed, remain concerned, and be active. And the best way to be active is to remember Congressman Larry McDonald and the Four Boxes of Liberty:
    If a Free Society is also a Civilized Society, we citizen-sovereigns are obligated
    1. first to discuss such issues amongst ourselves, to utilize our freedom of speech to persuasively urge our neighbors and countrymen to abandon trust in the despotic machinations of freedom’s enemies and in those who work their engines;
    2. to then exercise our right as citizen-sovereigns to remove those from political office who misunderstand their limited roles, who disrespect the autonomy of citizen-sovereigns, and who work either deliberately or from profound ignorance and carelessness to deprive those whom they represent of their liberty, and to replace them with representatives who will not;
    3. to then exercise our obligation as citizen-sovereigns to challenge unjust laws in the courts, even if we must first suffer the indignity and expense of suffering unjustly for disobeying such laws in order that material cause and legal standing can be established before the court;
    4. to then exercise our right as citizen-sovereigns, in our capacity as jurors who determine fact from evidence presented in the courts, and in agreement with fellow jurors, to nullify unjust laws when fellow citizen-sovereigns stand to suffer as victims of those laws (this is called jury-nullification);
    5. and finally, when all else fails, we are obligated, as our Declaration of Independence clearly and directly states, to dismantle a government which cannot or will not be reformed, by force if necessary, and build a new one in its place, as is the right of all sovereigns who stand to be deprived of their sovereignty by others. From the Declaration:

        “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

        “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. – That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, – That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

      It is in the defense of the individual citizen-sovereign’s liberty, as a sovereign, that alteration or abolishment of a government which is “destructive of the unalienable Rights of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” is justified.

    Congressman Larry McDonald is the one who is most often credited with a meme which capsulizes these four steps to preserving liberty. It is called the Four Boxes of Liberty, and it is a fitting place to end this post:

      THE FOUR BOXES OF LIBERTY
      1. The Soap Box
      2. The Ballot Box
      3. The Jury Box
      4. The Ammo Box
William Binney, in his idealistic struggle for the cause of liberty, has taken his civic obligations as a citizen-sovereign all the way to McDonald's THIRD BOX of Liberty. He is a true example of personal sacrifice and dedication to protect against violations of the fundamental enumerated rights that are necessary to the character and continuation of our Nation.

Victim of Hungarian Socialism airs Political ad against rising tide of Socialism in the USA




The blog Intrepid Lutherans recently ran a series originally posted on The Finkelsteinery in 2009. That Intrepid Lutherans series was entitled, C.F.W Walther and the Two Kingdoms in Action: "No reasonable man, much less a Christian, can or should take part in the efforts of Communists and Socialists".

This same thorough, and thoroughly Biblical, historical and Christian refutation of the claims of Communism and Socialism, can be found on The Finkelsteinery in the following series of posts:Also to be found on The Finkelsteinery are two politically oriented Fourth of July postings, one addressing political Liberty in our Democratic Republic as a form of “confessional unity” in the Political Estate which makes a positive appeal to the reality of Divine Providence to justify its existence, and the second addressing the certain threat our Democratic Republic now faces of Communist overthrow.Finally, to see how, in 2009, the creation of a worldwide Socialist government was very narrowly averted at Copenhagen, thanks in part to Wikileaks, see the following series of articles also published on The Finkelsteinery:In coming days, another series of posts will be featured on The Finkelsteinery from the writings of a conservative mid-19th Century Frenchman who wrote in years leading up to the Third French Revolution (1848) (to which C.F.W. Walther refers, along with the Second Revolution of 1796, in his SECOND LECTURE) until his death in 1850 – writings which he submitted to his countrymen in favor of true economic and social Liberty, in order to combat the rising tide of Revolutionary Communist and Socialist sentiment. Though this writer failed to avert the Revolution instigated by Communist and Socialist agitation, and failed to avert the institution of Socialism as the form of government in France, the work which I intend to feature is one which is recognized as a continuation of the economic theory of Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations, and as foundational to later celebrated economists such as Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman, and which, very interestingly and helpfully, sets limits on the very concept of Law itself, as employed by the State, by appeal to Natural Law and Divine Providence.

Stay Tuned!

Obama Supporters Become Romney Supporters -or- Youth Turn Against Obama...




This has been my experience with recent high-school/college graduates, as well (that's right, there is no distinction in my mind anymore). This is the result of what American society has spent twelve to sixteen, even twenty years, preparing for the leadership of the next generation. When I am 70+ years old, and have largely turned over the course of politics and religion to the next generation, I am confident that this is all that I will have to depend upon. That being the case, I expect that I will labour for my own survival until the day I die. The prospect of suffering under the failures of my own wit and health is far less frightening than suffering under the wisdom of today's youth.

As for Romney, yeah, he'll get the youth vote. He's better looking than his opponent.
