Speak Out America

SPEAK OUT AMERICA

William G Burmer

Writers in the Politico and Daily mail on Friday last pronounced that Hillary Clinton has 60 percent of the democratic delegates locked in for her of the 2,240 DNC needed to be nominated as "their candidate for president of the United States. Hillary herself boasted of these numbers herself that same Friday in Minneapolis Minnesota. 

One has to ask, if this is true, given her nefarious background, how many of these "delegates," have been bought off via the "Clinton Foundation?" How many have sold their integrity (if they ever had any to begin with) for a few "pieces of silver"? How many ever took their Oath of Office seriously, or did they look upon the oath as "Words, Just Words" as Barrack Obama does. Hillary Clinton is no different than he.

Oath
5 U.S.C. §3331
I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
 

How many of our Civil Servants consider their service a sacred privilege, how many have read and understand the Constitution itself? There is no ambiguity about the Law of the Land. The document is easy to understand, and to read, to spite lawyers and supposed scholars who would deceive you into thinking otherwise. It's preamble begins "We the People" and We are made subject to unconstitutional mandates, regulations, and law on a regular basis, yet we take it on the chin or are made aloof, or afraid to challenge such laws or regulations. After all, if you are dependent upon government for your livelihood, you don't want to upset the cart in anyway do you?

Sadly most all our news agencies report upon government corruption as if it were only common place, rather than strike at the heart of the problem they allow comedic commentary to replace ANY serious questioning of political policy, naming names, who is responsible, demanding impeachment, or prosecution for crimes committed. It appears that reporters have given up their will to seriously investigate and report fact or truth. Why? Because they are afraid of offending someone, some divergent group or even to be ostracized by their own "constituency." In the world today, it is called "politically correct speech or commentary." real law, ethics, morality, right, wrong, along with integrity have become secondary considerations, if they are considered at all.

"So help me God" must never come from a politicians lips, no, not in today's world. Political correctness has been allowed to run amuck in our society and unless it is brought back under control, via adherence to Constitutional principle, America's political system, will continue to deteriorate to a point where it will be undistinguishable from any other system of governess on the globe.

The solution lies in each one of us; We the People, Show your politicians, news agencies, local, state, and federal that you have a voice, speak out, write them, email them, twitter them. Use whatever means available to you to restore our Liberties and maintain our freedoms. Enough of us willing to use these tools can make a big difference. for ourselves, for the future of our Republic, our children and grandchildren. Speak out America! Kim Davis in Louisville Kentucky is an example of the kind of courage each of us needs to take.

9/11/2001 To Now

9/11/2001 To Now

Kevin Bryant 

Why is it that a song can come close to causing a tear or two to fall? Think it has something to do with it striking a feeling inside you? I know it does and there is only one song that can do it to me, Darryl Worley’s “Have You Forgotten”.  

I remember most everything associated with that day that affected me personally. I watched as the second plane flew into the tower. I remember hearing a plane went down in a Pennsylvania field and the stories of courage about the passengers as they faced their own death. I remember coming home from deployment in the Persian Gulf only to make it as far as Guam before having to turn around and go back to be the first ship to launch planes against those that would dare strike our civilian population. I remember the pilots and planes we lost. I remember the news casts as ground troops moved in while our battle group flew air cover. I remember coming back to a nation that had completely turned on itself. Politicians who voted for war now protesting against it, while pacifist were and still are trying to convince everyone that our enemy is not our enemy but just a misunderstood freedom fighter that is seeking peace the only way they know how.  

We went from a President and an administration that knew the only way to keep the fighting out of America was to remain in our enemies back yards and fight them there to a President and administration who welcomes our enemies into America with open arms and open borders. We have gone from supporting and defending our allies to funding our enemies. Our President welcomes Muslims to America knowing they will never adapt to our culture but he slams the doors to America shut when a Christian refugee of war seeks a place of safety for themselves and their family. Has anyone noticed that when Obama speaks about terrorist slaughtering Christians he is reading his speech from a teleprompter but when he speaks about embracing Muslims and speaks of Islam, he is speaking from the heart without the aid of a teleprompter?  

We have congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle that supports our imperial President’s ideas. Secretly, except to those who actually pay attention, they welcome civil unrest here in America. They want fighting in the streets. Why? Obama has already made 1/3^rd of the constitution practically useless. Along with the help of Reid, McConnell, Pelosi and Boehner, he has congress in his pocket and they dare never challenge him or his imperial authority.  

We have over 45% of all Americans, which I call the mindless, useless idiots, who believe whatever Obama and Hillary tell them. To them, they are the messiahs who have come to preach the gospel. More than half of the mindless and useless 45% idiots want nothing more than to do nothing while the taxpayers of America support them. They don’t care if local or state governments have any say in what goes on inside their states. To them the federal government welfare system is all that matters. The remaining is just too blind to ever see they are working to support their own destruction.  

Civil unrest is coming and I am not talking about just Ferguson Missouri or Baltimore Maryland. It is estimated that between the various terrorist organizations as well as those here who have been converted, America has in the neighborhood of roughly 5000 terrorist living among us and more continue to come in as guest of our government or as most people call them, undocumented workers…… I still use the words Illegal Aliens.  

5000 terrorist along with government caused, government supported and government funded race riots, to use a line from the movie Ghostbusters…. “Who You Gonna Call”?   

Liberties once surrendered can almost never be recovered. The powers in Washington DC are betting they can take it in the next 4 years. Obama has already laid more than 50% of the groundwork and is still not done.  

On 9/12/2001 the country was more united than I have ever seen in my life. Since August 2008, every day I wake up sets a new record for just how divided we are now as a nation. Even during the Civil War America was more together because there were only 2 sides, not 12 or 15 as it is today. Is it by accident or by design? I say it’s by design.      

“The Government’s Weapons against Citizens”

“The Government’s Weapons against Citizens”

By: Ron Boat

In today’s changing times, we all must look ahead, be aware, be vigilant in protecting ourselves, our families and fortunes. And to think the government can’t be your enemy is as shortsighted as a blind mouse in a cheese house.

If you think you’ll hang out in the US till things get really bad then gather up your life and head south, north, east or west….. think again. As we consider our government’s ability to control us in ways we never think of, and as more and more of us think about moving – or being ready to move – to safer, foreign lands, this article could be important.

I read a lot of articles from various people who, if nothing else, provoke my thinking about subjects I have no knowledge or awareness of. Nick Giambruno is one of those guys who add to my day and with his kind permission I'm happy to invite your read. I’ve left in some links as they can guide you to additional important facts for your future.

Citizenship as a Weapon: Travel Controls and What You Can Do About It

“It’s an extremely potent weapon, yet most are not even aware of its existence.

That is, unless they have been unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of it.

The weapon I’m referring to is travel controls, also known as people controls. It’s the power any government has to limit the ability of its citizens to travel. They do this by restricting the issuance of travel documents like passports.

Any government can use this weapon at a moment’s notice. It just needs to find a convenient pretext.

Many countries in the past have notoriously turned to people controls. For example, the Soviet Union would routinely revoke the citizenship of its perceived internal enemies.

Recently, look at how the Dominican Republic stripped tens of thousands of people of their citizenship with no due process. Or how the Syrian government previously refused to renew the passports of Syrians abroad whom it suspected of being associated with the opposition. Or how the US government revoked Edward Snowden’s passport with the stroke of a pen. These are but a few of countless examples.

The point here is not to pick good guys and bad guys. The point is that there are many instances throughout history and modern times that prove that you don’t own your own passport or citizenship… the government does. And they use them as a weapon.

If you hold political views that your government doesn’t like, don’t be surprised if they restrict your travel options.

Unfortunately, the situation is getting worse. Over the last couple of years, there have been several attempts to pass a bill that would make it easier for the US government to cancel the passport of anyone accused of owing $50,000 or more in taxes. I suspect that sooner or later Congress will pass this bill.

Fortunately, there is a way to protect yourself from these repressive measures. More on that in a bit, but first let’s look at the most common forms of travel controls.

Different Shapes and Colors

Desperate governments always seek to control money with capital controls and people with travel controls.

Here are the three most common forms of the latter:

1. Soft Travel Controls

These include arbitrary fees and burdensome bureaucratic procedures. These measures amount to unofficial travel controls.

It’s similar to how FATCA works with money. FATCA doesn’t make it illegal to move capital outside of the US. But it achieves the same effect by imposing onerous regulations that can make it impractical.

In the same sense, the government could achieve de facto people controls through deliberately excessive rules and regulations.

2. Migration Controls

Migration controls are official restrictions on the movement of a country’s citizens.

Sometimes governments will put restrictions on certain citizens from leaving the country. This is especially true during times of crisis and for those who have accumulated some savings.

Many people feel that they can simply wait till things get bad and then exit. But it’s likely the politicians will have slammed the door shut by then.

For example, after Castro came to power in Cuba, the government used to make its citizens apply for an exit visa to leave the island. They did not grant it easily.

3. Revoking Citizenship and Passport

This is the most severe form of people and travel controls.

Preventing people from leaving has always been the hallmark of an authoritarian regime. Unfortunately the practice is growing in so-called liberal democracies for ever more trivial offenses.

In the US, for example, the government can cancel your passport if they accuse you of a felony.

Many people think felonies only consist of major crimes like robbery and murder.

But that isn’t true.

The ever-expanding mountain of laws and regulations has criminalized even the most mundane activities. A felony is not as hard to commit as you might think. Many victimless “crimes” are felonies.

A study has found that the average American inadvertently commits three felonies a day.

So, if the US government really wants to cancel your US passport, it can find some technicality to do so… for anyone.

Second Passports - An Antidote to Travel Controls

Here’s what my colleague and the always insightful Jeff Thomas has to say about travel controls:

As a country approaches an economic collapse, a crystal ball is not necessary to predict that, amongst the actions of the government, will be increased currency controls, travel controls, tariffs, and a host of other last-ditch efforts to keep the sheep penned in - to assure their presence for a final shearing.

What remains for the reader to determine, if he is a resident of one of the nations that is presently in decline, is whether he: a) believes that, in the future, his ability to travel internationally may be either restricted or prohibited; and b) whether he should take steps to assure his liberty for the future. If so, it might be wise to do so before he actually has lost his ability to travel.

If you have only one passport, you’re vulnerable to travel controls.

I think it’s absolutely essential to obtain the political diversification benefits of having a second passport. You’ll protect yourself against travel controls. You’ll give yourself peace of mind knowing that you will always have options.

Among other things, having a second passport allows you to invest, bank, travel, reside, and do business in places that you could not before.

More options mean more freedom and opportunity.

I believe obtaining a second passport makes sense no matter what happens.

Unfortunately, getting one isn’t easy. There are no solutions that are at the same time cheap, easy, fast, and legitimate. Worse, there’s a lot of misinformation and bad advice out there that could cause you big problems. It’s essential to have a trusted resource to guide you through the process.”

_________________________________

We have grown up unafraid, easy going, open and trusting and yet, as the government spies on its citizens more and more, increases its international reach for oversight and enforcement, we should be prepared to make fast, intelligent, well informed decisions.

The ol “knee jerk reactions” aren’t good when taking actions to improve or protect your future. Many friends of mine who were never politically aware, interested or active have changed their tune by reading more, listening more, asking more and wanting more. Like the saying from Louis Pasteur says, “Chance favors only the prepared mind” and so if and when things go south in our government, economy or society having yourself mentally, fiscally and physically ready….paramount.

Here’s hoping for a fast turnaround in our country, its mindset, its morals, its preparedness, and its attitudes toward its citizenry from tyranny back to freedom.

We Can and We Must

We Can and We Must

Kevin Bryant 

In 2004, according to the federal government, California spent more than $10 BILLION annually caring for, educating, housing and in some cases incarcerating illegal immigrants. By 2014, that number had jumped to a whopping $25 BILLION. According to ABC News in back in 2010 the tax dollars spent on illegal immigrants in the U.S. exceeded $100 BILLION annually and in 2014 exceeded $108 BILLION. 

$108 BILLION dollars annually, that is less than it would cost to build a fence along the southern border. The money spent by California alone would cover the cost deporting over 10 million people that are here illegally. The people who don’t want a secure border say we don’t have the money to build a fence or deport millions of people here illegally. They say we can’t pay for it. I say we can’t afford not to pay for it. In less than 3 years we could be saving (roughly adjusting for inflation) over $110 BILLION of our, the tax payers dollars and it’s never going to go down if things remain the same.   

Just think of what the states could do with that money. They could build and fully fund homeless shelters for our homeless mentally ill veterans as well as cover the cost of feeding, clothing and covering their medical cost. Think of all the safe shelters that could be provided to those victims of domestic abuse, but we can’t afford that. 

Then of course after you do that how about using money for upgrading teaching materials for schools, better roads, safer bridges, taking care of our own elderly and sick. All of it completely covered without having to raise taxes. In fact you could lower taxes on things like motor vehicle registrations, property taxes, local gas taxes and still have a surplus 10 years later, but they say we can’t afford that. 

The open borders crowd believe you are too dumb to know that the spent by closing the border and deporting those here illegally is offset by the savings of having to house, educate, incarcerate and care for them. Unfortunately for over 20% of Americans, they are right. They are too dumb to comprehend the concept.  

Me personally, I would like to see some of the money saved go to prosecuting and incarcerating corrupt politicians & the rioters and looters in places like Baltimore and Ferguson. How about castrations for multiple convicted sex offenders and my best use of all, give it back to the tax payers. 

Bottom line is not only can we afford to build a secure southern wall and deport the millions of illegals already here, we owe it to the generations we are stealing money from now to pay for all the reasons they are here.
