The other kind of revolution
The other kind of revolution
Last week’s editorial concluded that revolutions are no longer possible because of the vast power of modern weapons available to governments. Prior to the beginning of the last century, revolutionaries could grab their swords and muskets and meet the tyrant’s soldiers on an even footing with the outcome weighted in favor of which side could muster and sustain the largest army.
The development of aircraft, tanks, nuclear weapons, poison gases, bacteriological agents, laser weapons, microwave weapons, GPS, guided missiles and drones has eliminated that equality forever. It now is possible for an oligarchy of less than one percent of the population, wielding such weapons, to easily defeat any mass uprising.
Does that mean we are doomed to be subjects of a global tyranny that, in the name of disarmament, controls all weapons of mass destruction? Or is it possible for another kind of revolution to succeed?
TWO KINDS OF REVOLUTION
Dictionaries have two definitions for the word revolution. One is the forceful overthrow of a government leading to a new regime, and the other is a drastic change in the attitudes and mores of society. Although history books usually focus on the first type, the second type is equally important, if not more so, because physical revolutions cannot happen unless they are preceded by a revolution of ideas.
The American Revolution, for example, was fired by a cluster of ideas related to the single concept of freedom from the oppressive yoke of government. That was the fire in the mind that brought the revolutionaries onto the battlefield and sustained them through great hardship and suffering.
Yes, you say, but don’t forget that, if the mental revolution had not been followed by a physical one, nothing would have changed. Ideas without actions are useless.
ALL ACTIONS ARE NOT EQUAL
True, but what kind of actions are open to us today? Is physical action the only option? As Mao expressed it: “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” Are military-style revolutions the only way to replace a tyrannical oligarchy?
That question can be answered by asking another question: Did the present collectivist oligarchy seize control of government by physical revolution? The United States once had an enviable political system of checks and balances, once enjoyed no bureaucratic control over the lives of the people, once had local police who actually served and protected its citizens, once had almost no confiscation of personal income or wealth, and once was admired around the world.
All that now is history. A revolution began in America starting full force in the early 1900s and was complete fifty years later. Were there barricades in the streets, mobs storming the White House, raging gun battles between patriots and soldiers?
None of that happened. It was a “soft” revolution. The government was seized through the mass media, the educational system, the entertainment industry, the banking system, and the ballot. Had it been attempted through force and violence it would have failed.
That is the key to how we must shape our own strategy. There are new battlefields out there. Why would we want to grab our muskets and head for the monuments of our forefathers? The new battlefields are the power centers of society: the organizations and institutions that shape national policy. That’s where we lost control to the collectivists and, if we are ever going to get it back, that’s where we will do it.
THE KIDS ARE AWAKENING
In the 1960s, when I began studying the ideology of collectivism, I recall reading a statement from a Communist organizer in which he explained why Communism eventually would conquer the United States. He said something like this: “You wealthy and powerful capitalists are in control today, but we will be in control tomorrow. Why am I so sure? It’s because we are recruiting your children. Right now, we are winning their hearts and minds and, when you die, your empire will belong to us.”
In retrospect, I can see that he was half right. In the universities, large numbers of wealthy kids were recruited into the Marxist/Leninist ideology but, what the comrades had not anticipated was that the empire they were hoping to replace with communism was well on its way to BEING communism under a different name.
So, when the kids eventually inherited the empires of their fathers, they were able to implement the collectivist ideology they learned in school without having to join the Communist Party. They merely continued to call themselves capitalists, and very few noticed the switch.
We who are hoping to bring about a revolution of ideas on behalf of freedom are in much the same situation as the comrades back in the 1920s and 1930s. Collectivists are in control today but, have you noticed? Their kids are awakening! The ideology of individualism is rapidly spreading through the universities, which are the incubators of future leaders. If we follow the strategy of a soft revolution, we will possess the future.

A farmer named Clyde had a tractor accident. In court, the trucking company’s lawyer was questioning Clyde. “Didn’t you say, at the scene of the accident, ‘I’m fine,’?” asked the lawyer.
Clyde responded, “Well, I’ll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite cow, Bessie, into the…”
“I didn’t ask for any details”, the lawyer interrupted. “Just answer the question, please. Did you, or did you not say, at the scene of the accident, ‘I’m fine!’?”
Clyde said, “Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer behind the tractor and I was driving down the road….”
The lawyer interrupted again and said, “Your Honor, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now, several weeks after the accident, he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question.”
By this time, the judge was interested in Clyde’s story and said to the lawyer, “I’d like to hear what he has to say about his favorite cow, Bessie”.
Clyde thanked the Judge and proceeded. “Well, as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite cow, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my John Deere Tractor right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch, and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting real bad and didn’t want to move. However, I could hear old Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans.
Shortly after the accident a Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning, so he went over to her. After he saw her fatal condition, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes to put her out of her misery. Then the Patrolman came across the road, gun still in hand, looked at me, and said, “How are you feeling?”
“Now, what the heck would YOU say?”

I just have to say, what the frell are these people thinking in funding a sniper training course for the refugees??? Are they truly insane? They must be to even think of doing this!?

Hello Phyllis. As I see it, the people doing this are not insane. They are diabolically cunning. They are deliberately trying to create chaos with intent to destroy the old order so the NEW World Order can be built upon the ruins.

OREGONIAN SAYS AMMON BUNDY IS A COMMON CRIMINAL
2016 Jan 18 from Richard Ellmyer
Special Agent in Charge of the Oregon FBI, Gregory T. Bretzing is following his colleague, Special Agent in Charge of the Nevada FBI, Laura A. Bucheit, down a very, very dangerous path. Bucheit abandoned her responsibility to arrest armed, white, Mormon, male Cliven Bundy for failure to pay one million dollars in federal grazing fees. Would her “equal justice under the law” behavior have been different if her target was an unarmed, dark skinned woman who was a Muslim or an atheist? Her cowardice in the line of duty inspired Cliven Bundy’s sons to lead an armed invasion to capture the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
It’s time for Special Agent in Charge of the Oregon FBI, Gregory T. Bretzing to put up or shut up. If and when the Bundy bunch leaves the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, Bretzing must arrest them. Our political, judicial and law enforcement establishments have the legitimate, legal, moral authority, indeed, a duty, to protect persons and property from those who brandish weapons to steal what belongs to others.
The Malheur National Wildlife Refuge belongs to me and every other American. We want it back. NOW. Ammon Bundy and his belligerent bandits are both common criminals and domestic terrorists and must be treated accordingly.

Have modern weapons made revolutions impossible?
Have modern weapons made revolutions impossible?
What has come to be called the Oregon Standoff that occurred in Harney County, Oregon, two weeks ago triggered our last two editorials stating that (1) the action was significantly different from the 2014 Standoff at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada, and (2) the Oregon Standoff appears to be, not the beginning of a revolution, but a classic example of a revolt. The main difference between the two is that revolts always fail.
This leads to the question of whether or not a true revolution is even possible in the modern world and, if so, what it would look like.
Prior to the use of aircraft, tanks, and poison gas in World War II, the weapons of revolutionaries were pretty much the same as those of governments. The rifles, knives, and cannon balls possessed by the Continental Army in the American Revolution, for example, were equal to those wielded by the soldiers of King George and the Hessian mercenaries.
Victory depended, not on the nature of the weapons, but on how many of them could be brought into battle, and that was primarily a question of manpower.
Weapon equality was eliminated by technology that began to appear in World War II and which has continued at an accelerating pace through the present day. No longer can rebels meet the minions of their hated masters on equal footing. Governments now possess weapons of such destructive force and which are technically so far above the skills of common citizens, that revolutions can no longer be successful based on a test of military power.
Nuclear weapons immediately come to mind, but even at a much lower scale of intensity, there are such things as remote-controlled drones armed with missiles that can obliterate any vehicle or building on the planet.
Even more to the point are those weapons designed specifically for subduing the population without destroying physical infrastructure. There are chemical weapons, sound weapons, laser weapons, and even microwave weapons that can be directed by a few technicians in an armored vehicle or even from great distances. These weapons create the sensation of being on fire and, if the intensity is turned up high enough, they can cook the flesh of one or a thousand people at the same time. How long could the ‘heavily armed’ boys in Oregon stand against that?
This is why I say that revolutions, in the classical sense of replacing a hated regime through physical confrontation, is impossible in the modern world. Does that mean, however, that we are doomed to become subjects of a global tyranny that, in the name of disarmament, controls all weapons of mass destruction? Or is it possible for another kind of revolution to succeed?
Next week, I will respond to that question.

Shocker! An American chicken farmer, Craig Watts, blows the barn doors off the chicken industry. He shows that chicken coops are loaded with unhealthy bacteria, and that the birds would die if they didn’t receive antibiotics – in spite of the fact that labels claim they are antibiotic free. So-called cage-free chickens are crammed together so closely in large pens that it is even worse than being in cages. Watts says the FDA does not monitor these things, and that the industry writes its own rules. RT 2016 Jan 16 (Story)

Judge Napolitano brilliantly sums up the concern over Hillary’s emails. He says the case against her is overwhelming, damning, and grave. At the core of the issue is that Hillary says she never received or sent information marked as ‘classified’. That is a word game and cunning deception. What she did receive and send were documents marked as ‘above classified’ and ‘top secret’, which makes the negligence even worse. Fox News 2016 Jan 20 (Story)
US: This is for those who still believe that their government is here to help them. Journalist David Knight examines a video made at a going-away party for Mary Martin, the Mojave National Preserve Superintendent.

They acknowledge being perceived as the bad guys but, as collectivists, they believe they are the good guys because they are abolishing private property one parcel at a time.

A store that sells new husbands opened in Melbourne where women can choose a husband. Instructions at the entrance explain how the store operates: You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors, and the value of the products increase as you ascend. You may choose any item from a particular floor or go up to the next floor but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign reads: Floor 1 – These men Have Jobs.
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads: Floor 2 – These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
‘That’s nice,’ she thinks, ‘but I want more.’ So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 – These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Good Looking.
‘Wow,’ she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads: Floor 4 – These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Really Good Looking, and Help With Housework.
‘Oh, mercy me!’ she exclaims, ‘I can hardly stand it!’ Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads: Floor 5 – These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads: Floor 6 – You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This empty floor demonstrates that women are impossible to please and always want more. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
To avoid gender-bias charges, the store’s owner opened a New Wives Store across the street. The first floor has wives that love sex. Wives on the second floor love sex, have money, and like beer. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth floors have never been visited.

OREGONIAN SAYS AMMON BUNDY IS A COMMON CRIMINAL
2016 Jan 18 from Richard Ellmyer
Special Agent in Charge of the Oregon FBI, Gregory T. Bretzing is following his colleague, Special Agent in Charge of the Nevada FBI, Laura A. Bucheit, down a very, very dangerous path. Bucheit abandoned her responsibility to arrest armed, white, Mormon, male Cliven Bundy for failure to pay one million dollars in federal grazing fees. Would her “equal justice under the law” behavior have been different if her target was an unarmed, dark skinned woman who was a Muslim or an atheist? Her cowardice in the line of duty inspired Cliven Bundy’s sons to lead an armed invasion to capture the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
It’s time for Special Agent in Charge of the Oregon FBI, Gregory T. Bretzing to put up or shut up. If and when the Bundy bunch leaves the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, Bretzing must arrest them. Our political, judicial and law enforcement establishments have the legitimate, legal, moral authority, indeed, a duty, to protect persons and property from those who brandish weapons to steal what belongs to others.
The Malheur National Wildlife Refuge belongs to me and every other American. We want it back. NOW. Ammon Bundy and his belligerent bandits are both common criminals and domestic terrorists and must be treated accordingly.

Revolutions vs. Revolts
Revolutions vs. Revolts
In last week’s editorial, I questioned the wisdom of what has become known as the Oregon Standoff. I am in total agreement with the grievances that motivated the protest organized by the Three Percenters and I share the frustration and anger that led to the occupation of the federal facility at the wildlife center led by the Bundys from Nevada. In fact, I have nothing but respect and praise for the dedication and bravery exhibited by everyone involved in that action. My concern is over the strategy of picking a battleground that appears to be much too favorable to the opponent.
Life experience teaches that, if we are forced to defend ourselves, we usually have no choice but to react on the spot but, when we take the initiative and pick the place and time for a fight, it behooves us to carefully pick our battleground and our weapons. Why fight moving uphill when we can do it downhill? Why fight Goliath in hand-to-hand combat when we can use a slingshot?
It has been argued that we have given up too much freedom already and now it is time to draw a line in the sand. My response is that I agree.
The question, however, is not if
we draw a line, but where?
REVOLUTIONS VS. REVOLTS
To answer that question, we need to know the difference between revolutions and revolts.
Revolutions are waged by very large groups of people who are well organized and funded, with reliable communications and discipline, with military training and a source of weapons and munitions, with leadership and a chain of command, and especially with broad support from the population. In fact, revolutions must have most of the attributes of the governments they seek to replace.
In the case of the American Revolution, the patriots were organized and led by thirteen colonies which were full-grown governments in their own right. In addition to the resources previously mentioned, they had parliaments, courts, taxes, and laws. Every able bodied man was part of a local militia and already had martial experience. They also had the help of the French government which also had huge resources. Without these things, the patriots could not have defeated the British military in a thousand years.
SPARTACUS REVOLT
Revolts are unplanned, unled, and unsustainable rebellions, much like riots in the street or, more to the point, like the Roman slave revolt led by Spartacus. Revolts have few of the resources needed to topple the military power of an established government. They are the emotional upsurge of the oppressed who, like the news anchor in the movie, Network, shouts in anger: “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore.”
The grim fact is that being mad as hell and armed with clubs, pitchforks, and even AK-47s without the other resources needed for a revolution is a prescription for ultimate failure, and a bloody one at that.
The bottom line is that revolutions may succeed, but revolts always fail. My deep concern is that the Oregon Standoff looks a lot like a classic revolt.
Next week I will address the question of whether or not a true revolution is even possible and, if so, what it would look like.

OREGON PROTEST AND BULLET SELLERS
2016 Jan 11 from Steven Hanson
Hi Ed,
Enjoyed reading the latest edition. The Oregon issue can’t be solved by doing what they’re doing. It’s an issue of what property ownership means, and I can make a solid case against government ownership of anything. Property Rights exist because of the connection between a creature (people) and the domain and wealth it requires for its survival. The government isn’t a life-form. We are. It isn’t. Rights don’t apply to government, only to people.
With respect to the issue of holding the seller of the bullets liable for the buyer’s use is fascinating because it is wrong in so many ways. However, why don’t we just turn it around? Hold the companies that sell bullets to the government liable for the damages caused by the use of those bullets by police, military, etc.? What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, right?
How insane it is to hold one person responsible for the choices made by another. The crux of this issue is the insane idea that the responsibility and ownership of our choices belongs to someone else.

2016 Jan 11 from Charity Jessop
Dear Mr. Griffin,
Sir, I am sort of disappointed in you, but maybe you have not talked to Ammon Bundy yourself? The government/media is really trying to down what those patriots are doing, if you haven’t noticed. The government we have can break all kinds of laws and get away with it. Must we just let them continue to illegally take people’s land away and not do anything? I believe they will continue doing it until the people stand up as a whole and say “NO MORE!”
Don’t you see what is going on? “They came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew.. so I turned my head.” I think you know what I am talking about. Please don’t tell me that you are listening to the government/ media!
GEG REPLY:
Hello Charity.
My view on this issue will appear as the editorial at the top of this news page – and it definitely is not the result of listening to the the government or the media. It has to do with the difference between fighting to win vs. fighting to lose. It is not about being willing to draw a line in the sand but knowing where to draw it. Thanks for writing – and for caring.

You have mischaracterized the Hammonds in saying they “… objected to their prison sentence but were not resisting.” I was at the 15 December 2015 meeting in Burns, Oregon, when Ammon Bundy and Ryan Payne helped establish the Harney County Committee of Safety. Since then I’m in touch with the chairman of that committee, as is Ammon. I was also at the protest in Burns, Oregon, 2 January 2016.
The protest was sponsored and led by a group called the 3 Percenters. As Ammon was announcing his intention to takeover the Wildlife Refuge, the leaders of the protest march made it very clear that Ammon’s intention was not their intention. They made it clear to everyone that what Ammon Bundy was suggesting had nothing whatsoever to do with the protest.
There were two distinctly different groups – 1) The 3 Percenters, leading and sponsoring the protest march and 2) The group lead by Ammon Bundy to takeover the Wildlife Refuge. I have known Dwight and his wife Susie Hammond since about last July 2015, when I became interested in helping them with their plight. I met with Dwight for about 4 days to draft an affidavit about the events he has suffered since 2001. I also met briefly with Steven Hammond.
To say Dwight was not resisting is not true. He has been widely characterized in the press as a coward, not willing to stand for his rights, but it’s not the case. Even as the protesters greeted the Hammonds in their front yard, Dwight told them his case was not about him, but about pursuing freedom in America.
Dwight declined to sign the affidavit that he and I wrote out of fear for himself and his family. He has received threats on his life. On or about 19 November 2015, Frank Papagni, prosecuting attorney against the Hammonds, expressed to Dwight and Steven, through their worthless attorneys, that if they did not cease communication with Ammon Bundy, they would be detained early and go to a less desirable prison. In addition, pain and suffering would be brought on their families. This is the reason Dwight has not fought hard against the charges brought against him. Steven is a much younger man and has been more amenable to going to prison.
I took the affidavit, that Dwight & I wrote, and rewrote it as my own affidavit attesting to what Dwight had told me. You can view it here.

HOMELESS IN HAWAII
2016 Jan 9 from Ken Bradley
BonnieBonnie and I are back from two weeks in Honolulu. Oahu is experiencing a high rise and single-family building boom. Honolulu and Waikiki are going up scale and, if the trend continues, they will look like Rodeo Drive in the near future.
Crowds in Waikiki were heavy, and sometimes it was hard just to walk down the street. Hilton Hawaiian Village is putting up a new tower, Ritz Carlton is building a huge high rise in Waikiki, and it is sold out even before it’s finished, and the International Marketplace, the last tacky holdout to the upscaling is now being converted to 75 upscale shops.
Ala Moana shopping center is being expanded by building a new 5-level structure in the former Sears parking lot, and Ward Warehouse is being converted to a high-rise condo. Aloha Tower used to have tacky kiosks but is now the Mid-Pacific University.
With all this upscaling and building I’m wondering who in Oahu can afford to shop in all these existing and planned shops and live in the high rises. Certainly not the native Hawaiians who may be pushed out of Hawaii to places like Las Vegas that have a lower cost of living and a huge Hawaiian population already.

Standoff in Oregon
Standoff in Oregon
The biggest U.S. news this week, in terms of print space and air time devoted to it, is about the occupation of a federal wildlife facility in a remote area of Oregon by a group of states-rights advocates.
Originally, this group assembled as a protest over the fact that two local ranchers had been sentenced to prison for conducting controlled burns on land they leased from the federal government. However, the plot was complicated by the fact that the protest was led, not by local residents, but by Ammon Bundy, the son of Cliven Bundy of Nevada, who traveled to Oregon for that purpose.
The Bundys were key figures at the famous Bundy-Ranch standoff in Nevada in 2014 against agents of the federal Bureau of Land Management who demanded the removal of his cattle from federal land that the Bundy family had leased for over a hundred years. When the Bundys were joined by supporters from the local community and neighboring states who arrived to physically confront the agents, the feds backed down, temporarily, at least.
When Ammon Bundy emerged in Oregon as the apparent leader of the group that seized the federal facility there, it was widely perceived as a repeat of the drama in Nevada, and many Tenth-Amendment advocates instinctively were drawn to support it. However, upon closer examination, there are some important differences.
1. In Nevada, the feds had initiated physical action against property (they were taking Bundy’s cattle) and Bundy was responding in defense mode. In Oregon, the Hammonds objected to their prison sentence but were not resisting. They even turned themselves in voluntarily. The protestors (not the Hammonds) were the ones who initiated physical force by breaking into the wildlife facility and occupying the property. Declaring that they were doing so in the name of the people is the same argument used by collectivist governments when they seize property.
2. In Nevada, there was substantial support and friendly sentiment from local residents. In Oregon, local residents appear to be hostile to the protestors, who they view as outsiders messing up their community.
3. In Nevada, the goal of the resistance (leave Bundy’s cattle alone) was specific and limited. It was possible to achieve without all-out war, and it allowed the federal government to save face without escalating to bloodshed. In Oregon, the goal of the resistance is to occupy the federal facility indefinitely and use it as a base to build military-style opposition to the federal government. This leaves no possible resolution other than a test of military strength. If continued on this course, a bloodbath is assured.
It may be argued that it is time to draw a line in the sand and, if that means a bloodbath, so be it. I plan to deal with that topic in the next issue, and it will focus on the difference between a revolution and a revolt. Revolutions often succeed, but revolts always fail. The Oregon resistance is a classic revolt.

China’s yuan was added to the International Monetary Fund’s international basket of currencies in November, bolstering the prestige of the yuan. China’s central bank then proceeded to devalue its currency to stimulate the sale of Japanese products to foreign buyers, and that caused international traders and hedge funds to sell off the currency quickly, sending its value lower than planned. For the second time this week, the Chinese stock exchange abruptly shut down all trading in response to what was perceived as panic selling. China’s desire to control its economy instead of allowing a free market has caused the yuan to fall in value and stature. WSJ 2016 Jan 7 (Story) (Cached)

Hawaii is facing a homeless crisis. Housing is so expensive that an estimated 7,000 people are living in tent cities, even though many of them have jobs. A Catholic priest is interviewed who says that it is a government problem. He implies that the government should provide more housing and more welfare for these people. He is clueless to the reality that more government housing and welfare always leads to more people seeking those benefits and merely increases the problem. The only way to reverse this trend is to get the government, with its taxes and regulations, off the backs of citizens so they can create jobs, increase wages, build homes, and take care of those in need without political intervention.

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Syria and have therefore raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.” The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out.
Terrorists have been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.
The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s get the Bastards.” They don’t have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

Titanic; A Perfect Crime
This novel explores little known facts of that famous tragedy and provides jaw-dropping insights to new discoveries that came with the finding of the 100-year-old ship wreck. The book’s scenario of what really happened that fateful night is amazingly consistent with the historical record. No other theory explains so many parts of the mystery. (More)

“If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher.”
“If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher.”
The FBI has thwarted yet another terrorist attack that it planned and financed from the beginning. FBI agents recruited a mentally ill ex-convict, Emanuel Lutchman, and supplied him with equipment for a suicide attack that included masks, zip-ties, knives, duct tape, ammonia, and latex gloves. It is now common for the FBI to create terror plots from scratch to keep the public in a constant state of fear. Under such conditions, there will be little opposition to growth of government and loss of liberty in the name of fighting terrorism. Prison Planet 2016 Jan 1 (Story) (Cached)
Fethullah Gulen is a Turkish Muslim Iman living in Pennsylvania who FBI officials say is a dangerous radical.
The CIA, however, is known to be doing business with him. Gulen owns 130 charter schools across the US that are spreading radicalized ideas and Sharia law to impressionable young minds. These schools receive US taxpayer funding each year ranging from $150 million to as much as $500 million. InfoWars 2015 Dec 29 (Story)
These stories do not need explanation except to suggest that they clarify the warning of Abraham Lincoln, who said: “From whence shall we expect the approach of danger? Shall some trans-Atlantic military giant step the earth and crush us at a blow? Never. All the armies of Europe and Asia… could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher.”
2016 will present many challenges to liberty but, in spite of the darkness of our hour, the force of freedom is on the rise. In the new year before us, we will have many opportunities to change the course of history. It’s an exciting time in which to live.

Fort Morgan, Colorado: A meat packing plant owned by Cargill has fired nearly 200 Muslim employees after they walked off the job and failed to show up for work for three days in a dispute over the company’s accommodations for their prayers. Cargill set up a ‘reflection room’ in 2009 for their prayers, but now the Somalis contend that they were told they could go home if they wanted to pray. More than 2000 are employed at the facility, and an estimated 600 are immigrants from Somalia. The 400 Somalis with good attendance are still employed. Denver Post 2015 Dec 31 (Story) (Cached)

California has passed a law requiring a 21-day gun confiscation from anyone the government labels as potentially violent or mentally unstable. Being branded as a mental case, a potentially violent individual, an alcoholic,or an anger-management case will become an increasingly common excuse to suspend the constitutional right to bear arms.

Ethan Couch, the “affluenza” teen who killed four people in a drunk-driving accident in 2013, was found in Mexico with his mother and now is fighting deportation. He received no jail time for his drunk-driving crime but was ordered to undergo rehab and probation. He failed to keep his probation appointment after a video emerged that allegedly showed him at a party where alcohol was consumed. His mother now faces criminal charges for interfering with the probation of a minor. CNN 2015 Dec 30 (Story)
Due to a $1.2 billion cut in its budget, the US Department of Justice has suspended its practice of sharing assets that have been seized in pursuit of administering federal laws. The move does not prevent local authorities from seizing property. It merely no longer allows them to keep what they take. The cannabis industry previously has been the hardest hit in the forfeiture scheme, especially in California where police are accustomed to keeping 80% of the confiscated property. Opposition by law enforcement to pro-cannabis legalization has been almost totally motivated by the threat of losing forfeiture money. Leafly 2015 Dec 29 (Story) (Cached)
While government-paid climate scientists continue to peddle fear of global warming, nature is not cooperating. A new glacier is growing on the side of Mount St. Helens, an active volcano in Washington state. The author of this article contends that this is an anomaly and says (contrary to fact) that glaciers are decreasing everywhere else in the world.

Confessions of an ISIS soldier: “The training took place in Turkey”. A former ISIS communication technician has revealed that ISIS had the full cooperation of the Turks and could pass across the NATO member’s border in truck convoys. German media reports that ISIS has an office in Turkey through which it sells slaves obtained from conquered territory. Turkey is the training ground for ISIS soldiers who claim to be part of the Free Syrian Army, supported by the West, but which really is ISIS. ZeroHedge 2015 Dec 28 (Story) (Cached)
Florida: Police officers with the Bal Harbour Police Department and the Glades County Sheriff’s Office are under federal investigation for allegedly laundering $55.6 million for drug cartels under the guise of a joint anti-drug task force.

The US is the world’s top weapons manufacturer. Sales jumped in 2014 to $36.2 billion, a 35% increase in one year.

A company named Hive Computing wants to turn smart meters, attached to homes and businesses, into a networked supercomputer. These meters, which have the computing power of a cell phone, sit idle 95% of the time, so the plan is to put that unused computing power to work as close to 100% of the time as possible. Naturally, meter manufacturers and utility companies are on board with the idea, but people with health problems relating to exposure to smart-meter radiation are not happy campers.

Houston, Texas: George Pickering II was convinced that his 27-year old son, who was in a coma following a massive stroke, still had life in him and he refused to allow doctors to take his son off life support. Pickering fended off medics with a gun to stop them. Three hours later, after Pickering surrendered to a SWAT team, doctors were amazed that Pickering’s son was making eye contact and following commands. Pickering spent ten months in jail, but was released in time to spend Christmas at home with his son, who now is completely recovered. RT posted 2015 Dec 26 (Story)

The European Parliament announced a new banking policy that allows bail-ins to make up for the losses of failing banks. Bail-ins are similar to bail-outs in that, in both cases, banks are saved from bankruptcy by the legalized confiscation of money from the public. In a bail-out, the money is taken from taxpayers. In a bail-in, it is taken from depositors. The Federal Reserve in the US recently declared that it will no longer use bail-outs to prop up its member banks. That means, the Fed is prepared to follow the same procedure as the EU but merely has not yet made an official announcement to that effect. [Are you ready?

Max Wright explains that so-called free-trade agreements do not promote free trade and have distorted the markets instead of creating wealth. Money and assets flow to where they are treated the best, so they gravitate to free markets. The wealth gap is virtually absent in free markets. Socialism is a magnet for corruption.

Michael Burry, a contrarian Wall Street investor who predicted and made large gains from the 2008 financial crisis, says that ‘little guy’ investors and small borrowers will be crushed in the upcoming economic crisis. He advises being suspicious when the government or banks offer free money, no matter how seductive the deals may seem. ZeroHedge 2015 Dec 29 (Story) (Cached)
Michael Burry delivered the commencement address to the UCLA graduating class of 2012 and revealed how he was able to see the 2008 crash coming when the Federal Reserve did not.

Sweden is using cashless transactions in 95% of all retail purchases, and Denmark intends to eradicate cash by 2030. Spain has banned cash sales over €2,500, while France and Italy have banned cash sales over €1,000. Westpac Bank says Australia will be cashless by 2022, and India is offering tax benefits to those who participate in cashless programs. Governments want this because all transactions can be tracked and taxed. Banks want it because they will receive transaction fees on all purchases rather than just some of them. Consumers meekly accept it because they have been told it will reduce theft and that it is inevitable, neither one of which is true. Economic Collapse 2015 Dec 27 (Story) (Cached)
German researchers have found gaping security holes in bank debit and credit-card transactions. Using Wi-Fi technology, card numbers and pin numbers can be stolen from the terminals that read them. Banks have knowledge of this problem but have done nothing to overcome it, possibly because of the enormous cost to do so. It cannot be fixed by a simple software patch but would require a re-design of the whole system. RT posted 2015 Dec 27 (Story)
Bitcoin is being challenged by a perceived difference in fungibility between old and new units. Fungibility is the quality of money that allows one unit to be equal in value to all others. The value of older Bitcoin may decrease because it has a provable transaction history that may reveal its use for an illegal purchases from websites like The Silk Road that sold illicit drugs. New, virgin Bitcoin could become more highly valued if governments declare that Bitcoin once used in illegal trade can be confiscated. Bitcoin Magazine posted 2015 Dec 26 (Story) (Cached)

REACTION TO SECOND CONGRESS OF FREEDOM FORCE
Posted 2015 Dec 29 from John Sneison, Council Member and Secretary
Hi Mr. Griffin, I want to say that the meeting at Paso Robles was humbling as I met so many fantastic human beings who are doing so much for Freedom and Individualism. I am proud to be part of Freedom Force and I am committed for life to keep The Creed of Freedom alive for as long as I live. I want to change our world so people can live voluntarily and non-aggressively. I know this will require a total effort from me and all of us to get the message heard. I am very excited to be a leader in my community and in my nation (Canada). I want to dedicate every breath of my life to promote the great word of Freedom and Individualism.

REFLECTIONS ON FREEDOM FORCE EVENT
Posted 2015 Dec 27 from Dan Happel (newly elected member of the Leadership Council)
Hello Ed.
I made it back to Hawaii yesterday, but wanted to send this email to my friends that made the Second Congress of Freedom Force International an event to remember for the rest of our lives. I can’t express in words how proud I was to be associated with such a tremendous group of patriots and friends. Because of you participation and support the event came off with hardly a hitch and the presenters were world class in every way. I can hardly wait for the DVD of the event to be available to new and prospective candidates as a training aid and tool. You can all be very proud of your part in this watershed event in the restoration of our republic. Please stay in touch and help to spread the message of liberty across the globe…………we are going to win the war for the minds, hearts and souls of freedom-loving individuals everywhere. God bless you for all you do!
