TOO MANY WILD HORSES?
From: Eve Kinsel 2016 Oct 15
I encourage the author of the article about wild horses [Need to Know 2016-10-14] to do some more research to understand the circumstances in which wild horses might be sent to slaughter.

Although I don’t know the facts of what is happening in most states, I do know an individual who works with the wild-horse herds in Nevada. She loves the horses and hates to see them die or suffer. Currently, because of top-down policies in the last 5 or so years, she and other BLM employees across Nevada were prohibited from removing enough wild horses from public lands. The horse population, as a result, has exploded here in Nevada. (More)

MEDIA ATTACK ON MORALITY
posted 2016 Oct 15 from John Miller
Dear Mr. Griffin;
Our nation has lost it’s course because of a deliberate and willful dumbing down of public education and an orchestrated collapse of our nation’s moral fiber by an entertainment industry which promotes deviant sexuality and displays hostility toward traditional morality. Our children spend their time playing violent video games that are so brutally graphic that they would shock the ancient spectators of the Roman Coliseum. Popular music is likewise filled with violent imagery and contains graphic descriptions of sex acts.

Long time readers of “Need To Know News” will recognize that this transformation of our nation’s morality was first proposed by the Marxist intellectuals associated with the Frankfurt School, and commonly referred to as Cultural Marxism. For a brief introduction and historical outline of the Frankfurt School, see this article by Dr. Gerald L. Atkinson CDR USN (Retired) here.

As we have read in the Genesis creation account, the human heart is easily deceived by the “Father of Lies,” the first propagandist. But I would suggest to Mr. Van Epps that it is not an either/or proposition. Adam and Eve were sinners and also victims of the Serpent’s propaganda. Truth, of course, is the antidote to both cultural propaganda and original sin.

TELL THAT TO THE BEAR
posted 2016 Oct 15 from: Dave
[This is in reference to previous corresponence regrding the idea of building a ‘de jure” government in the US to operate independently of the presently recognized federal government.]

DAVE: Hello Ed,
When I speak of restoring our republic and local townships and counties, I do not refer to “correcting” or “repairing” or otherwise influencing what is currently operating as our “government”. There is no reason to do that, and it would cause a conflict of interests. Our republic form of government has been abandoned for over 153 years. It still exists only no one is occupying any of the posts (for the most part). We only need to resume wearing those hats and begin operating again (some already are operating again).

COMMENT BY GEG: My perception is that “wearing those hats” is akin to dressing up in a costume and pretending that we really are the characters that we imitate. It is make-believe, not real, because the original republic was won and maintained by force of arms. It no longer is so enforced, so the primary essence of its existence is missing. All that remains is the memory. To restore it will require the restoration of the legalized use of force. That can be done only in two ways: Physical revolution in the streets or political revolution at the polls. Wearing hats and writing proclamations will not do it.

DAVE: The foreign corporations that usurped our government way back when and is operating in its stead at the moment is allowed to operate in DC. 

GEG: It is not “allowed” to operate. It holds the military and police powers of the state that “enables” it to do so. We The People today do not have the power to allow or deny very much. We need to focus on changing that aspect of the formula. All else is make-believe.

DAVE: And they do have the British subjects (now US citizens) that they are responsible for that they do need to govern and should do so. However, that operation doesn’t affect us (american nationals) unless we ascribe to it. 

GEG: We do not ascribe to it, but it does affect us deeply.

DAVE: Our government does not interfere with theirs nor does theirs interfere with ours. 

GEG: The “our” government of which you speak does not exist as a government. It exists as an association of individuals seeking to restore the principles of our original republic. It does not have the power of government, and to call it one is make-believe. The closest we could come is to call it a government-in-exile, but that is a far cry from being a government.

DAVE: We do not have to fix their “government”. It’s not our job, save when they violate treaties or violate our common law or some such. We must only take care of our own business. 

GEG: I wish that were true, but “their” government constantly violates common law and every conceivable aspect of our personal lives.

DAVE: And, there is no conflict of interests. As an example, they can issue any “currency” they want for their citizens. They simply have no business issuing ours, nor authority to do so. 

GEG: Here, again, I wish that were true but, even though they “have no business” issuing “our” currency, they have the power to issue “their” currency and force us to use it against our will.

DAVE: That’s why I say there is no point in mingling with their elections, etc. Does that align with your perception of our current situation? Or, Does it differ in any way?

GEG: By now, you know that it does not align with my perception. It is like facing a Grizzly Bear in the wilderness that is about to tear us to pieces, just like it already has done to other campers in our group. We had better do what we can to disable the bear. We cannot outrun it, reason with it, or avoid our fate by reassuring each other that the bear has no right to hurt us. We simply must deal with the bear or perish.

DAVE: It is really only incumbent upon us to let folks who have been presumed and mislead into believing that they are “US citizens” (a corporate fiction with certain duties and obligations) to know the facts so that they can go back to being American nationals or nationals of the land where they have the birthright and begin operating as such once again. Does that make sense? 

GEG: Tell that to the bear!
