The gun banning front group Mayors Against Illegal Guns, headed by New York’s Mayor Bloomberg, came out with a full page ad in the Washington Post recommending that the Federal Government now link the secret No Fly list to National Instant Background Check System (NICS) and use this to prevent gun owners on the list from buying guns.
And just last week, Attorney General Eric Holder endorsed this legislation on behalf of the Obama Administration. Fortunately for US gun owners, Congress has failed to act and that is why Bloomberg’s MAIG is now pushing to connect the two.
According to the Government Accountability Office, over the past five years people on the terrorist watch list, also called the No Fly List bought guns more than 850 times. This is a Secret List kept by the federal government that has no rhyme or reason as to who gets on it and no known way to get off it. Remember, this is the same secret list that the late Senator Kennedy was listed on for a period of time, preventing him from flying on commercial airlines.
In addition to the No Fly list MAIG is also calling for closure of the imaginary Gun Show Loop Hole and a repeal of Tiahrt Amendments which require the FBI to destroy records of approved background checks performed on gun purchasers within 24 hours.
ACTION 1: Check the Mayors Against Illegal Guns website and see what Mayors belonging to MAIG live in your state and call them and demand they resign from a group that’s mission is banning legal gun ownership and infringing on your second amendment rights. http://www.mayorsagainstillegalguns.org/
ACTION 2: Write your congressman and demand that they Vote down any attempts by the Obama Administration and MAIG to introduce any bills that would allow the secret government No Fly list to be linked with the National Instant Background Check System.
There’s an $8 billion redevelopment plan for North St Louis- and city residents are footing the bill!
The developer is taking family’s homes with eminent domain and your money with an unprecedented $400 million TIF (tax incremental financing). The largest TIF is St Louis City history! And all the while we are cutting funds for police, firefighters, transportation, schools and projects like the Ballpark Village. Everyone can agree the northside needs redevelopment but this plan just doesn’t add up.
I am working with several community groups from the city to gather signatures for the petition. If you are a registered voter in the city of St Louis and would like to sign petition, please contact me.
Coming off of our End The Debt Audit The Fed rally we wanted to remind people that while we are having huge successes in the House of Representatives gaining support for an audit, there is still a chance for us to generate support in the Senate. Below is a video of what happened when we attempted to contact Claire McCaskill regarding this issue at the rally, followed by the Missouri and Kansas Senators’ offices.
Please ask for not only their support, but their sponsorship and their publicity on this issue.
Please remember that Sam Brownback of Kansas is already a Co-Sponsor. Please thank him and request that he assist in trying to persuade the media to bring more attention to the bill.

Remove ICLEI – Restore the Republic!
Monday, August 24, 2009
Many Americans ask how dangerous international policies can suddenly turn up in state and local government, all seemingly uniform to those in communities across the nation and around the globe.
The answer – meet ICLEI, a non-profit, private foundation, dedicated to helping your mayor implement all of his promises. Originally known as the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI), today the group simply calls itself “ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability.”
In 1992, ICLEI was one of the groups instrumental in creating Agenda 21. The group’s mission is to push local communities to regulate the environment – and it’s having tremendous success.
I have included a list of 544 American cities in which ICLEI is being paid with tax dollars from city councils to implement and enforce Sustainable Development. ICLEI is there to assure that the mayors keep their promises and meet their goals. Climate change, of course, is the ICLEI mantra.
We stand here 46 years after the assassination of John Kennedy. You don’t have to like the man, or the title of President. We’re here to honor an action. It’s an idea that no matter who you are, the pedigree you came from….the views you’ve had in the past, Liberal, Conservative, Anarchist or Socialist….The ability to recognize a danger to the American People and stand up as a Patriot is within all of us.
I don’t expect everyone to like Kennedy’s policies or his family. But His speeches struck a chord in the hearts and minds of men. and with one action, he attempted to remove some of the hidden corporate slavery of the debt machine. Executive Order 11110 was a chance to be free and with 3 shots in Dealey Plaza that chance was silenced.
JFK Once Said: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable”
In March, Liberty Restoration Project as well as our allies across the country recognized a threat to peaceful revolution in the name of the MIAC Militia Report…and uncovered other threats in the other MIAC reports…all of them demonizing grassroots movements as violent extremism that pose a threat to government.
Missouri Law Enforcement declared activists their enemy with 4 words I quote: “You Are The Enemy” As hard as they tried to deny it, it was clear in black and white. They said violent people support Ron Paul………Violent People Might Just Have Bumper Stickers…Violent People Attend End The Fed Rallies
I say Violent People Might Wear Underwear and Drink Pepsi too, where is that listed in the report?
The other reports demonize groups on the grassroots Left…. I don’t care what you think about these movements or the actions some fringe members of these movements have taken, the point remains that the entire grassroots accountability movement from the right and left are both being laid out as too dangerous to be allowed because of a few bad apples.
Committees of Safety…The New Black Panther Party…Here’s one I heard Glenn Beck demonizing…Copwatch, a non-partisan group that documents police-citizen interaction so that either party may use that documentation in a court of Law. That is potentially violent extremism?
There was another report warning that people in Prison might just join Al Qaeda….I wonder if that goes for Bernie Madoff and Ken Lay types who have used Wall Street to loot our economy of billions….our private prison system and the consistant crackdown on nonviolent self-destructive offenders is never addressed when they parade the terror boogeymen.
The First Hearing about these reports occurred the SAME DAY that an extreme abortion activist walked into a church and gunned down one of the most well known Abortion Doctors in the country.
Before I had even heard of the shooting, this one instance of an extreme act of murder was being paraded by Law Enforcement in front of this state’s legislature as proof that we all need to be profiled as dangerous.
The Mainstream Media immediately jumped on board, tying extremism in with “Militias” and “Anti Government”
I Have the Government RIGHT HERE…it’s called THE CONSTITUTION and if anybody is ANTI Government it’s the people who would dare work against it. On the contrary, Gathered in front of me is a bunch of the most pro-constitutional government people in this region.
I have since seen several Mainstream Media reports where they do exactly what the MIAC center has done. They look to the politicized Southern Poverty Law Center for their boogeymen.
I’ve now seen Three CNN and MSNBC reports teaming up with the SPLC demonizing Oath Keepers, a group that is asking Police, Vets, and active duty military to read this Constitution, Reaffirm their oath, and if their commanders should ever give them an order that would turn our forces against the people, to refuse it.
This constitution scares the HELL out of these Corrupt Media, Corporation, Banking, and Political Party Power Brokers.
They say these things are threatening, and that they use the reports as valuable tools to prevent crime. Ladies and gentlemen, they use these tools because they are afraid of the peaceful revolution and they know that if they create a big enough fear climate, their system will accumulate so much power that a violent outbreak would mean pure victory for them. Violence legitimizes the fear climate and at Fed buildings all across the country today we send a message back that the First Amendment IS PEACE AND PEACE IS WINNING IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF MEN.
Another JFK Quote: “The Word Secrecy is Repugnant in a free and open society.” There has been NO AUDIT since the Fed was created in 1913. They used to offer M3 reports on Cash Flow….not an audit…it’s like me giving the IRS a letter saying that my books are okay and not offering any receipts or documentation…but for years they at least gave us that…but now they’ve stopped and when asked why, they said that Monetary Supply has grown so large that it was not worth it to print it all on paper and give to Congress. For almost 100 years the bankers scheme has gripped American Economic and Monetary Policy. Now I know economy speak turns people off so let me repeat that in layman’s terms…Bankers control the future of Jobs and Your Money and they aren’t telling anybody how they’re handling things and when people demand they give answers they tell us to take a hike…..I say it’s time for Ben Bernanke and Tim Geithner to take a Hike and take the rest of the Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan crew with em!
Friday’s Wall Street Journal Front Page Headline: “House Panel Attacks Fed, Treasury.”
The Audit will get a vote in the House. It is a small victory, that comes with a huge sacrifice. In order to get the bill past the special interests of the committee, it had to be attached to Bailout Legislation. Lets face it though, They will always continue to pass their bailouts and their corruption, but this time if they want it, they’re going to have to help us expose the secrecy of the Federal Reserve.
I Repeat, Peace IS WINNING THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF MEN!
Even if the Audit does not make it through both houses, I want you people to understand the meaning of the word on that LRP shirt we sell. Vigilance. Very rare that a battle is ever won with the first strike. One Year Ago we had a rally and march right here…in the days leading up to that rally I had several conversations about Gold and The Fed where I could not get one person to agree with me that accountability was important or that inflation was dangerous.
I had Liberals tell me that we needed the “Fed Credit Card” to continue government programs….I Had Conservatives tell me that attacking the banking system didn’t sound very “Capitalist”
Ladies and Gentlemen The Central Bank and Graduated Income Tax Are not only planks of the communist manifesto, but provide the mechanism for the entire platform of communism.
So for the much of the 20th Century while our country was in war all around the world fighting “Communism” We had communism established right above our heads.
They say that an Audit would endanger the system. It’s in Danger either way. They say that The Fed Must be “Free” from political influence. It’s influenced either way.
One Last Thing To Remember as we wrap up, for 233 years, this nation has strived for one thing. Freedom. From the Founding Fathers gathering as Minute Men and fighting the red coats to escape the tyranny of British Kings, to the Underground Railroad and the Abolitionist movement trying to prove to a nation that African Americans were indeed humans with rights, to the Civil Rights movement and the fight of many Americans to just be able to walk into a school or voting booth. We have now come full circle. Just as our Nation began to fully honour our commitment to All Persons Being Created Equal, We’re being told that our Economy is above all.
The bankers stood in front of Congress and the Media, You still hear people parroting the line every single day.
They HAD to concede to the bankers, or the economy would have collapsed.
Ladies and gentlemen. The Bankers put a gun to the head of the prosperity of an entire nation of FREE people, and said You now become economic SLAVES or we will Kill the economy.
There is only one answer to a threat like that: GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!
We’ve been busy not only working on the rally, but also in getting new products and revamping our online store.
All of these products will be available at the rally in the morning except the DVD.
We will also be selling a limited edition event “Bankers” shirt only for attendees of the rally that is sure to go quick that is not on the website.
Try not to miss the rally at the KC Federal Reserve @ Noon. (tomorrow, Sunday 11/22)
Time to Celebrate! (Case Dismissed) Maplewood has dismissed the case against me for my “failure to comply” with the arresting officers unconstitutional demands!!!! This is great news as I leave for the Continental Congress of 2009 TOMORROW and return the day before I was supposed to go to court – It would have been hard to focus on solutions to the many issues we face with the potential of 30 days jail or $1000 fine looming over my head, especially since I committed no crime!
Further Action (Taking them on): This will NOT stop here. Today I requested any discipline against my arresting officer, including but not limited to disciplinary action surrounding MY arrest. He is a rookie who only became an officer in May of this year, but I still need to know if this was an isolated incident or not. I picked up the full surveillance tape today, too.
Growing Together (Constitution Course): The Maplewood Constitution Course is this weekend (please rsvp so we know how much pizza to buy). It will be taught by Scott Wood who teaches the advanced Constitution Courses for the Riverbend 912 group. It will have an emphasis on individuals rights in relation to law enforcement, driving and an overall idea of the Constitutional role of government. Saturday November 14th from noon to 4pm. Please RSVP here: http://maplewoodconstitutioncourse.eventbrite.com
Fighting Globalism with Localism (What is CC2009 anyway?): The main reason I am so grateful these charges were dropped TODAY is so I may focus more strongly on the Continental Congress of 2009 – and it is nearly 24 hours out! This historic event is taking place in the suburbs of Chicago and will bring three citizen delegates from each state together for 11 days to discuss strategy we can implement to shift the growing trend toward tyranny in America. I have been elected as a delegate and feel very blessed to be the citizen spokes person for the state of Missouri. I have formed a state/local caucus of delegates and am working, with Josh helping every step of the way, along side with activists from all across the country to come up with a state/local initiative plan that can help guide us on our path to freedom.
How to Support Us (Rocking CC2009): If you are interested in supporting our trip to the CC2009, we are raising money to cover costs (approx $750). We have already received a total of $375 in donations from 6 amazing folks. I cannot tell you how blessed we feel to have your support, please accept a big, genuine “Thank You”. If you can help at all, even $5, we are raising funds at http://kctodc.chipin.com/continental-congress. You know me, I don’t like to ask for money, but this is something in which I feel we MUST have a strong presence. I have been diligently volunteering for LRP in a fulltime capacity for almost 2 years now and rarely ask for a thing in return, this time I’m asking for your support in prayers, finances and even advice
The ongoing battle (back to Maplewood): If you are interested in supporting my ongoing fight against unconstitutional arrest (kidnapping) and detainment I was forced to endure on October 12 in Maplewood, here are the things that would be the greatest help:
1. Help spread the word about the Maplewood Constitution Course (we have fliered the community for three Sundays) – know a local radio host – have an interested email list? http://maplewoodconstitutioncourse.eventbrite.com
2. Educate yourself on your rights and the Constitutional role of law enforcement - if we expect those making the laws to abide by their oath, we sure as heck better make sure those with guns who enforce the laws are, too! You can attend this free course my RSVPing here: http://maplewoodconstitutioncourse.eventbrite.com
3. Consider supporting the Liberty Restoration Project financially - You can set up a monthly donation as low as $5 by visiting: http://www.libertyrestorationproject.org/donate.php The funds you donate to LRP go straight to streets of Missouri or the halls of Jefferson City. Your donation money goes a very long with with LRP, we try to spend money only in ways that provides a direct interaction with the community – gas money to testify in committee hearings in Jefferson City, paying for documents obtained through the Missouri Sunshine Law, printing fliers to put on doors or pass out in the community (we have handed out 10s of thousands of fliers in the Kansas City and Saint Louis metro areas in the past year), etc.. We have found great success in our style of direct, assertive, yet loving activism, and we could not be where we are today with out each and every one of you And yes, we are all 100% VOLUNTEERS!!!
4. Spread the word about my arrest: People need to hear the truth about what is happening in many of our law enforcement communities today, the greater we can grow the buzz around the incident, the greater the likelihood I will be successful in an offensive strategy against them. One of my goals is to ensure every employee of the city of Maplewood understands the Constitution before I’m done. Same goes for the citizens. I am not out to smear our law enforcement community, just hold them accountable to the Constitution in the same fashion many of us are working to hold our elected officials accountable to the Constitution. I hope you will support that
After going through an unlawful arrest and detention, it is easy to feel defeated by the system. (read part 1 here and part 2 here)
While I am frustrated that the prosecuting attorney has yet to sign off on my charges (so I’m technically STILL not charged, although I spent 5 hours in jail and had to post $750 bond), I am feeling very optimistic about finding a resolution – let me tell you why.
While in jail I learned that many of the women incarcerated do not understand their rights. They do not understand the Constitution or how our country was formed, nor do they understand the proper role of government or law enforcement. They have accepted police abuse and targeting as a fact of life. One girl, after arriving, said, “well I better kick back and enjoy a few free meals, I’m sure I’ll be here a few days”. Why were these women in jail? Most were unable to afford the property tax on their vehicles and were swooped up off the streets and incarcerated, the remainder were for other issues surrounding the use of a vehicle. None of them had hurt anyone or damaged/stolen any property. Doesn’t sound very free to me.
In response to the situation found in Maplewood, the Liberty Restoration Project is excited to announce that we are sponsoring a FREE four hour Constitution Course for the citizens of Maplewood. This course will be taught by Scott Wood who teaches Advanced Constitution courses for the Riverbend 912 group and will take place at the Maplewood Library on November 14th from noon to 4pm. You can RSVP here: http://maplewoodconstitutioncourse.eventbrite.com.
For the past 3 weeks we have gone door to door in the community of Maplewood handing out fliers for the course. We also have fliers up in 9 area businesses. The response from the community was overwhelmingly supportive. Not one person disagreed with our course of action, all stating that Maplewood Police have a reputation that is NOT favorable, although most folks we spoke to made sure to clarify they DO support fair law enforcement (so does LRP).
What action will I be taking personally?
1. I have received 4 minutes of the surveillance footage, and am picking up the rest today or tomorrow. I have also requested and received the Oath of Office of the arrest officer (he was a rookie, sworn in May 26, 2009).
2. I have filed a complaint against the city of Maplewood and the arresting officer – I have already met with Internal Affairs over this matter. My entire conversation is recorded, I will try to post soon.
3. I have filed a complaint against the city of Richmond Heights and the officer who treated me so poorly in jail, they have not responded yet.
4. I am working closely with Fox Channel 2’s investigative reporter – big things coming Stay Tuned.
5. I have found a first amendment attorney who is going to represent me pro-bono. Both offensive and defensive. Gear up.
If you want to help in anyway, feel free to get in touch
