Recently, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has come under attack for malicious treatment of certain U.S. citizens and groups by singling them out based upon their personal political preferences. At this time, it is still unclear where the direct orders came from to initiate such heinous activities, but what is crystal clear is that this type of activity is not new for the IRS.

The IRS has mastered the art of breaking their own laws, one case in particular; using banks to launder and then steal disabled veterans’ disability checks.

The Veterans Disability Act of 2010 is a Federal law which exempts VA disability from withholding of any sort. Actually, existing code USC, Title 38, §5301 already protected VA disability from withholding, but this provision was re-iterated and included in the newer legislation of 2010, because too many civil court judges were legislating from the bench and including veterans’ disability monies as earned income and granting it to ex-spouses (men and women) in divorce proceedings, at times, leaving disabled veterans without any safety net for self-care.

However, the IRS is still figuring out ways to get to a veteran’s disability money. How do I know? Recently, it happened to me.

On July 4, 2013 a fully armed and loaded march lead by a certain person in question, Adam Kokesh has been planned. One must first note this march is not sanctioned nor backed by The Oathkeepers, The Tea Party, The Republican Party, NRA, or any legitimate Constitutional Organization or party.

One MUST understand this action is undermining the hard work of all Patriots to safeguard our 2nd Amendment. In Kokesh’s own words, this is not an anti-gun law march; it is a march to challenge what he deems as an illegitimate government. Obama and his administration have finally been put on the defense, and stumbling about to deflect the public’s eyes upon their illegal actions. We do not need to provide them with an illegal march to bring the distractions they are praying for.

I wish to address certain questions concerning the organizer of the march as well as the legal truths of the matter and ramifications of anyone participating.

In 2012, the IRS says that it flagged groups with the words “Tea Party” or “Patriot” in their names for additional scrutiny. Bower’s group fit the ticket.

When Marion Bower decided to start her tea party organization in 2010, she didn’t know that it would take nearly two years for the Internal Revenue Service to approve her request for tax-exempt status.

The Ohio woman also did not expect that providing information about the books her group read would be part of the application process.

“I was trying to be very cordial, but they wanted copies of unbelievable things,” Bower told ABC News today. “They wanted to know what materials we had discussed at any of our book studies.”

She ultimately sent one of the books, “The Five Thousand Year Leap,” promoted frequently by Glenn Beck, to the IRS official handling her tax-exempt request in Cincinnati. She also sent a paperback copy of the Constitution.

Fortunately, the Swiss National Advisory Commission on Biomedical Ethics (NEK, President: Otfried Höffe) critically commented on the use of the ADHD drug Ritalin in its opinion of 22 November 2011 titled Human enhancement by means of pharmacological agents1: The consumption of pharmacological agents altered the child’s behavior without any contribution on his or her part.

That amounted to interference in the child’s freedom and personal rights, because pharmacological agents induced behavioral changes but failed to educate the child on how to achieve these behavioral changes independently. The child was thus deprived of an essential learning experience to act autonomously and emphatically which “considerably curtails children’s freedom and impairs their personality development”, the NEK criticized.

The alarmed critics of the Ritalin disaster are now getting support from an entirely different side. The German weekly Der Spiegel quoted in its cover story on 2 February 2012 the US American psychiatrist Leon Eisenberg, born in 1922 as the son of Russian Jewish immigrants, who was the “scientific father of ADHD” and who said at the age of 87, seven months before his death in his last interview:

“ADHD is a prime example of a fictitious disease”

We already know that terrorist Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was shot up by Boston’s finest as he cowered in a boat without a weapon. Now we have confirmation that the cops shot up the wrong vehicle (but couldn’t shoot straight enough to hit the innocent citizens) the police officer wounded and nearly killed in the shootout with the Tsarnaev brothers wasn’t shot by the poorly-equipped terrorists, but was instead blasted by other poorly-trained cops:

1. Police fired nearly 300 rounds of ammunition within five to 10 minutes as they confronted the suspects — 100 more than initially reported. And that included one round that nearly killed Massachusetts Transit Police Officer Richard Donohue.

2. Police accidentally fired on an unoccupied black SUV during the mayhem. “In the chaos, an officer or trooper (or some combination of personnel) mistook it for one of the two suspect vehicles,”…

Time and time and time again……you be the judge! And stay safe out there!

The second-grader, 7 at the time, was removed from class for two days in early March for chewing his pastry into a gun shape and aiming it at other students, an offense described as “classroom disruption.”

About the same time, children elsewhere were suspended for pointing fingers like guns and, in one case, talking about shooting a Hello Kitty “gun” that blows bubbles. In many cases, appeals were granted by school officials.

The child’s father, William “B.J.” Welch, said he had hoped that school officials might be more receptive. “I guess I expected more of a fair result,” he said Wednesday night. “I don’t view the punishment and the mark on my son’s record as a reasonable reaction to the situation that took place.”

Schools spokesman Bob Mosier said he could not confirm the meeting or address any of the statements from the family’s lawyer. “This is a matter between the school, a student, and his parents,” Mosier wrote in an e-mailed statement.

Making sense of all this…….there are two ways to cast a movie. You bring in professional actors and have them read, or you go out and hire “real people” for the parts.

The second way is sometimes used for the cameos.

That’s the case with the completely insane arrests, school suspensions, and general harassment leveled at kids and parents who “are guilty of” toy guns, fingers shaped like guns, pictures of guns, guns that make bubbles.

Here’s how it works.

The family of the accused Boson Bombers entered the U.S. claiming “asylum.” Like so many other “refugees,” the Tsarnaevs immediately went on welfare, and then flew back and forth to Russia for visits. How could they be escaping a life and death situation if they were returning to their home country for extended stays?

This is one small incident in a giant scam called Refugee Resettlement which is run by the State Department and originated in the Refugee Resettlement Act of 1980.[snip]

After decades many of these refugees remain on welfare, suspicious and resentful and dedicated to building in America the same failed culture they supposedly left behind. In this assault on our civilization, the U.S. taxpayer has had no vote, but he must, of course, pay the costs in terms of welfare, terrorism, endless expanded security.

One group that is making out nicely are the federal contractors aligned with the Catholic Church, Lutherans, and Hebrew Immigrant Services who all make big money at this scam. This has nothing to do with real religion and everything to do with their demonic new faux religion, Utopian Universalism.

We need a moratorium on continued resettlement until such time as ORR can get its house in order and present a restructured program that can provide safe haven for those truly in need and at the same time guarantee that this currently flawed program does not admit persons unworthy of our kind-heartedness or who are unwilling to become a positive part of our national fabric.

However, once a year the State Department consults the U.S. public. Yesterday, in a hearing at the State Department.. More comments and insights here.

Keep all this in mind and remember:  S.744 (the Gang of Eight bill in the Senate, McCain and Flake of AZ) provides more funding for resettlement contractors and makes it easier for a greater number and variety of refugees/asylum seekers to gain admission to the US

Fortunately, the County Supervisors affirmed the decision of the Coconino County P&Z Commissioners and did not allow the company to pursue the taller tower they wanted.

It was extremely disappointing to once again be the only opponents able to attend the hearing. Even though it was only about “met towers” the power company focused a lot on the protocol that had not been followed in applying for the permits. We were the only voices talking about the area importance to raptors and other birds.

I hope that sometime in the near future some of you will find the time to attend a meeting or write a letter. I understand that Babbitt Ranches have begun pre-application talks with Coconino County P&Z. Will no one will be satisfied until the Grand Canyon is surrounded by blinking red lights and wind turbines? Wind power is not the solution to global warming – reduction in usage is the only real way out- we have spent 50 years producing and using more power…..buying the power company reasoning that we can do it that way.

“In my opinion, Tasers are overused,” defense attorney Andy Martinez said.

The video of police in Cotati, California breaking in and tasing a couple while investigating an alleged domestic dispute. Some web sites are reporting that the police used “stun guns.”

This, of course, is the same as politicians calling semi-automatic rifles “assault rifles.” Stun guns are smaller devices with much less of an electrical discharge than police tasers. The PressDemocrat is one of the few sources that got it right and explains some of the details on the use of this force by police.

It appears from the video and other news sources that the Cotati police responded to a 911 call about a domestic dispute when 33-year old Afghanistan veteran James Wood and his wife argued over a broken-down car in their yard. When police arrive, Wood demanded a warrant and stated that there was no domestic violence.

The police proceed to break down the door and allegedly tased the couple because they were resisting arrest.

Much of the article focuses on if police are over-using tasers. Youtube is replete with videos of police tasering everything from sixteen-years olds to grandmothers. While use of this technology is questionable and should probably be further explored, many of the articles focus on the use of the taser without exploring the Constitutional violations involved.

The Fourth Amendment states:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

This amendment—one of the First Ten amendment collectively known as the inalienable Bill of Rights—was put in place for a very important reason. One only need read the complaints in the Declaration of Independence to find that British solders were accused of misusing their “PATRIOT Act,” otherwise known as the Stamp Act. The Constitution, and particularly the Bill of Rights, were supposed to protect our rights against an overbearing State and national government. The preamble to the Declaration, in fact, states that is why governments are instituted among men.

The problem is that since Woodrow Wilson, and particularly during the FDR period, the Supreme Court has ruled more-and-more in favor of big government instead of the Constitution. FDR began replacing justices based on ideology instead of Constitutionality when the court ruled his NRA unconstitutional and they started retiring.

To be “…secure in their persons…,” one has to be free to travel without police stopping and searching without a warrant. You are your person. You have a right not to be searched unless they have probable cause. For example, if a robbery has just occurred and you happen to fit the description of the perpetrator.

You are certainly not secure in your house if police can break in and tase you at the least provocation such as a “health and safety” check. Or if menial servants may enter, may break locks, bars, and everything in their way; and whether they break through malice or revenge, no man, no court may inquire.

Those are not my words. Those are the words of one of the founding fathers; James Otis. Otis was arguing against the writ of assistance. The full quote is:

“Now, one of the most essential branches of English liberty is the freedom of one’s house. A man’s house is his castle; and whilst he is quiet, he is as well guarded as a prince in his castle. This writ, if it should be declared legal, would totally annihilate this privilege. Custom-house officers may enter our houses when they please; we are commanded to permit their entry. Their menial servants may enter, may break locks, bars, and everything in their way; and whether they break through malice or revenge, no man, no court can inquire. Bare suspicion without oath is sufficient.”

The problem is that people have been brainwashed to believe that the government is responsible for their safety. This was actually debunked by the Supreme Court case of Gonzales v. Castle Rock. How can one continue to believe that the government is responsible for their safety when it seems more-and-more that they are the cause of the endangerment?
