Why We Must End The Police State

What is a police officer anymore? Why nothing more than a government extortionist! Outrageous accusation you say? Not really, let’s examine the facts.

Since this country was founded we have been making laws non-stop to reduce freedom. We went on an orgy of making laws for victimless crimes. Gambling, prostitution, alcohol and drug bans are at the top of the list. We have placed speed limits on our wonderful and safely constructed highways that only contribute to accidents by creating unnecessary congestion.

In recent decades we have criminalized self-defense as we allowed for laws that directly defy the Second Amendment to our Bill of Rights. Police are seen as a party to this systemic rights violation.

We’ve done the same with privacy as we now require police to invade our possessions, personal records and body cavities in direct contradiction to our Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure. Frisking Americans like prison convicts has become the accepted way to greet airline passengers and those taxpayers entering public buildings.

What we’ve done is change the direction of law enforcement from dealing with real crime and appointed them as government tax collectors. Instead of dealing with a limited divide between police and criminals we have a divide between police and citizens.

The problem with this is that cops are no longer considered the people to turn to for help. The cops are really here to find ways of raiding your wallets and bank accounts. The problem is only getting worse as big spending government officials look for new and creative ways to fund their unchecked spending on things nobody wants or needs.

We need to turn police back into what they were intended to be someone to count on during an emergency. The policeman was your friend, but not anymore. He’s the skunk and your family picnic. We need to start repealing laws while we still can. We need to get runaway government under control.

The Erasure of Adolph Hitler’s Legacy

Germany—Visiting Germany and Switzerland during the Month of November was a real treat for me. Although I lived in Germany for 18 months of my military service (1968-1970) I did not travel to Berlin back then because of the red tape involved with travel to eastern Germany.

I love the German people, their language and culture. My memories of Germany are some of the most wonderful of my entire life. I made the trip to beautiful Berlin this time.

My interest in learning about World War Two was nothing insignificant. So much, violence, torture and mass murder needs careful examination. Europe was indeed a dangerous place during the reign of The Third Reich. Death and destruction was a constant visitor to anyone thought Europe. This was truly a holocaust for every man woman and child. Every family lost someone and so many families were totally wiped out by shooting and bombing.

What people fail to realize absolutely everyone suffered, not just the Jews.

What conditions could possibly cause this unbelievable catastrophe? Could they happen again? It really only a matter of when. Of Course Russia, Japan and China were also tangled into this mess and suffered as much or more..

I remember being horrified and saddened when I heard how the Russian soldiers that captured Berlin went on an orgy of non-stop rape of innocent women and children.

That kind of barbarism is redundant throughout word history. This is what we humans do to each other. It will happen again and again as long as there are humans. We can pretend we’ve evolved into a more civilized society but that’s just our optimism. Humans are wild and dangerous animals.

The despicable, fascist and cruel Adolph Hitler had a grand plan. Hitler wanted his own population of tightly controlled Arians to rule the world and erase all he felt was not pure. It became Germany’s worst nightmare. Even those loyal to Hitler suffered horrifically. National Socialism like all Socialism is a pure evil killer.

When the war ended American forces went to Obersalzberg in The Bravarian Alps and destroyed Hitler’s terrific retreat named The Berghof. Another nearby Hitler favorite, The Eagle’s Nest was somehow spared. It’s a wonderful place to visit and contemplate how and why evil world conquests were planned there.

Germany has to cope with a real embarrassment, Hitler worshipers exist in Germany. They also exist in the United States. They all have two things in common ignorance and hate. They don’t really understand just what Socialism or National Socialism is all about.

To discourage the Neo-Nazis Germany went on a destruction binge. They set out to destroy anything that could become a Nazi shrine. It the same time they deprive the world of the historical importance of these places.

If the neo-Nazis were better educated they’d know just how miserable Hitler made the German citizens. Germany would have been so much better off making museums out of places like the Fuherbunker, the Berghof and the Spandau Prison. The Nazi worshipers could use the education.

Thankfully there are places like Berlin’s Bendlerbloch and the Plötzensee Prison where Nazi style justice victimized members of the German resistance.

As someone who has been involved in the American justice system all of my adult life there is a serious lesson to learn from the People’s Court of the Third Reich. Sometimes American courts can mimic Nazi judicial tyranny. Are we better off without a death penalty?

To fully understand Hitler you must first admire his amazing accomplishments. He was a nobody that rose to the status of a world leader. What could drive such a man to become such a monster? How can charismatic politicians become such despots? How can we stop these monsters before they become powerful? Who will fill Hitler’s shoes and exceed his cruelty?

My beautiful friend Andrea shows you what's Left of the Spandau Prison near her home in Berlin.

Arizona Patriots Sends A Message To State Government

Arizona—I have no clue where this happened or who was involved. It seems that there was a parked photo radar vehicle along a freeway that needed some corrective action.

Some patriots splashed tar all over the vehicle and then applied a coating of feathers. I assume that the vehicle was unusable for its extortion mission for at least a day or two.

I’d much prefer to see the politicians that enable the extortion program get identical treatment. Perhaps they’d learn that government by extortion is bad government.

The Obamacare Train wreck May Become A Stone Around A Despot’s Neck

Washington, DC—One by one America’s largest employers are risking Barack Obama’s and Congress’ wrath as they cry foul. They are reporting significant and unmanageable costs because of the hastily and secretly drafted legislation that’s now the law of the land.

Obamacre threatens every American job and will make economic recovery impossible. In retaliation the Obamacare Congressional block has subpoenaed the corporation’s records and will grill the CEO’s. No evidence will surface showing any benefit to the American economy and this will also bog down the government’s ability to collect taxes and function.

Will we see this crisis become Obama’s excuse to seize and nationalize America’s corporations? If Obama tries that he can count on American people to rise in an armed rebellion against him and his cronies. There will be a gallows waiting for all those Marxist traitors.

No matter what happens, I suspect the corporations will succeed in obtaining an emergency restraining order from the federal courts derailing Obamacare. This significant issue will make the litigation fast track and get before our Supreme Court in a hurry.

If this happens we will avoid a civil war and the Marxists will be branded and peacefully exiled.

Joe Grant, “The Flag Man”

Chicago, IL—It was the very beginning of July, 1970 and I had just finished serving two years in the US Army after being drafted . I was off duty and enjoying the pretty girls at the North end of Oak Street Beach.

I saw a filthy looking hippie and he was wearing a United States flag like a diaper. I viewed the sight with utter contempt. I knew there was some relatively new law that prohibited the, “improper display of the flag.” I saw a sergeant from 018 driving by and asked him if he knew about that somewhat obscure new law. He actually had a copy of it and it was a felony with no misdemeanor reducer.

That was it, we arrested the hippy whose name was Joseph John Grant. It turned out he had a drug conviction and he was soon on his way to the 018 District lock-up after we called for a wagon.

We confiscated the flag and inventoried it as evidence. I soon learned that Grant was unable to post the relatively low bail.

Grant’s is preliminary hearing court date came up and he appeared before one of Chicago’s most colorful judges, Wayne Olson. When the case was called Grant began with his smart-assed attitude and pissed off Olson. The result was the case was continued for 30 days, bail was jacked up well beyond any ability to pay and Grant was ordered to see the Court Psychiatrist, Dr. Kelleher or Dr. K as we used to call him. Eventually Grant pled Guilty to the felony and got probation along with the 45 days or so he served in the Cook County Jail.

Judge Olson wound up doing a stretch at Club Fed after he was snagged in the Grey Lord Investigation of the early 1980’s. The FBI bugged Olson’s chambers and he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

Okay, I enjoyed that exercise in justice. Seeing that hippy punished for showing contempt for the flag so many Americans died under now gave me satisfaction. The penalty was harsh but Grant was everything I despised in the days following the Democratic National Convention, Jane Fonda and the sellout of South Viet Nam by the Communists in our own government.

Just a few years later the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the flag desecration laws throughout the land as protected free speech. When the ruling came down I had no problem with it since it reinforced free speech.

My military service was dedicated to freedom so the Joe Grant Flagman Case sparked my interest in the Bill of Rights. Today I’d thank that unwashed hippy for the education.

It’s was not just speech that is protected but unpopular speech. I have to be the first to admit that there is a significant portion of the population that would love to see my blog shut down and see me get beaten or worse. Thank God and our nation’s founders for free speech..

Advice to Businesses like Dana Kathryn Jewelry in Studio City, CA

Click on Gun to enlarge picture. This is a Sig Sauer P-239 with rosewood grips from www.eaglegrips.com

Studio City, CA—Okay, I was asked a serious question about prevention of violent robberies like Dana Kathryn Jewelry has suffered twice in two years. I felt a duty to answer. Of course I’d need to come out to the scene and conduct a security audit and without having done that I will offer the following:

Any jewelry or cash business needs have an unobstructed view from the street so robbers can be seen by anyone passing by. DKJ failed in that regard.

The owners and employees need to know that their lives depend on their training and protection. That means firearms and training. Twelve hours with a qualified professional law enforcement trainer like me would cover the basics. Two hours of tactical training at the store must be part of that. Again, GKJ failed.

They seemed to lack a street view camera which may have alerted the sales workers and provided police better accomplice information. Once more, DKJ fell short.

Each business needs to have at least an image of being more difficult to victimize that the surrounding businesses. Criminals are cowards and avoid challanges.

Local police anti-robbery advice mirrors the philosophy of the politicians that appoint them on gun rights and self-defense. Politicians and police have no right to interfere with the very survival rights of citizens. The fact is they meddle and discourage any resistance thereby facilitating the robbery crimes and further endangering the citizens.

Resistance can be risky but not nearly as risky as compliance to the point of allowing the robbers to force you on the floor or to bind you. Each of the robber’s commands you obey emboldens them and invites more personal danger.

This is about mindset and not personality. The store’s owner seems like a lovely lady who would be too horrified to put up a fight. That’s where training can resolve the issue. Above all the woman needs a strong will to survive.

There is no choice here, either take the steps necessary or find another line of work. This is America and the right to self-defense and to keep and carry arms is an absolute right. Surrendering to thugs is un-American

One last but important piece of advice. If you use deadly force to stop a crime and someone other than you is killed or injured DO NOT TALK TO POLICE WITHOUT A LAWYER PRESENT. Making statemets like, "I was in fear of my life, I had to shoot!" is a tacid confession. SAY NOTHING!

Militia Raids A Justice Department Smear Job?

Detroit, MI—Nine people are in custody on allegations that they are part of The Hutaree Militia and that they conspired to murder members of local law enforcement agencies.

Indictments were unsealed this morning that were laid out with well-crafted press releases providing the FBI’s basis for making the raids, seizing property and arresting the accused. I can’t help but smell a big rat at the top of the Obama Justice department.

It’s very simple, the Obama administration knows they have virtually zero support from state and local police. They need to drive a wedge between those Americans resisting the Marxist inspired changes and the local police. This plot along with the overblown press releases may be total fabrication of a government paid snitch.

As for the group I suspect they are a bunch of religious zealots that like guns and play dress-up as they run around in the woods. If they were a real threat they would never had submitted to arrest by the metrosexuals that make up today’s FBI. So far, there is no evidence of a single violent act by this group. That’s hardly the profile of a dangerous group bent on killing cops.

The FBI claims they needed to act against the group since they say there was a planned covert reconnaissance operation. What’s unlawful or violent about that? That’s what my wife did at department stores in the days before the big sales!

I guess it was only a matter of time before the Waco style raids would target potential resistance groups that would obstruct the Marxist takeover of America.

Be wary of anything that emanates from the Obama Justice Department. If you’re a state or local cop don’t fall for this scam that is trying to frighten you into cooperating with Marxist revolutionaries.

Cops Working Under The Eyes And Ears Of Big Brother And YouTube

Chicago, IL—Our commercial aircraft carriers have had cockpit voice recorders to analyze aircraft accidents for decades. The pilots union zealously guards that the use of the recordings is for only accident investigation. The contents of the recordings can’t be used for any other purpose.

In an effort to sort out the wide range of highly fictional accounts of police/violator contacts administrators are putting video/voice recorders in police vehicles. Suspects and sometimes police have been known to “recreate” events in courtrooms and sometimes lives are ruined by what the juries and judges choose to believe.

In a perfect world nobody would ever tell lies especially under oath. The fact is if the mouths of humans are moving, they’re probably telling lies. That’s especially true of police/violator contacts.

If the conversations in police vehicles were recorded and made public cops would always be in trouble. The already high police divorce statistics would be off the charts and there would be grounds to fire most officers for one violation or another. You see, free speech is not really free since what you say can get you in a world of trouble. Even cops need privacy.

Imagine being trapped in a car where every word you say during your work shift is recorded and preserved for later use against you. There would never be any privacy. One could argue that corruption would be made more challenging but who is willing to work under those conditions?

So far, several hundred Chicago police vehicles are equipped with the video/voice recorders and many officers are disabling or simply not allowing the equipment to operate.

Police administrators are countering that the officers are being cleared of phony allegations over 90 percent of the time. Somehow I see a deeper divide between police and the public through the recording equipment. Casual conversations will quickly be a thing of the past.

To suggest that cops will get used to this new technological tool is a fantasy.

Any recording system that would be acceptable to officers is the one where exactly what’s recorded is under full control of the officer. The officer needs to be able to activate the equipment at his or her pleasure. I don’t anticipate that happening and the police unions need to step in and draw a line in the sand.

I can’t imagine ever wanting to be work as a cop under today’s conditions. With every man woman and child in possession of a cell-phone video camera, GPS vehicle tracking systems, and YouTube, any other line of work would be better.

Armed Robbery At Fashionable Ventura Boulevard Jewelry Store

Studio City, CA—Dana Kathryn Jewelry is no stranger to armed robbers and they’ve been hit before. This time as in the last, the three thugs were caught on tape doing their nasty deed.

During Thursday’s lunchhour the trio posed as customers, drew guns and ordered salesladies to the floor and bound them with plastic zip-ties. They gathered some $200,000.00 in jewelry and cash before they fled into a grey automobile.

The Los Angeles area businesses are easy pickings for criminals since they don’t believe in armed resistance. Of course sometimes the thugs kill their unarmed victims. Failure to train and arm those in the Jewelry or cash businesses has been redundantly proven to be a real killer.

Once again it’s nice to see just how well all those California gun laws protect everyone.

The victims waited ten minutes for the LAPD to respond to the emergency. That lackluster response does not make me feel warm and fuzzy.

I guess this store is really popular with African-American thugs that enjoy terrorizing White people.


From The LAPD:
Los Angeles: Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) North Hollywood Area Detectives are asking for the public’s help in identifying three armed bandits who stole $200,000.00 worth of jewelry.

On March 25, 2010, at around 11:45 a.m., two male black suspects entered a jewelry store located in the 12600 block of Ventura Boulevard posing as customers. The suspects engaged in conversation with the victim for several minutes then produced handguns and ordered the victim to the floor. The suspects then restrained the victim using zip ties and continued with the robbery. Shortly after subduing the victim, the suspects opened another door to the location and allowed a third suspect to enter the jewelry store. The three suspects then ransacked the store, took jewelry from the display counters and safe within the jewelry store. The suspects drove off in a dark grey vehicle in an unknown direction.

Suspect #1 is described as a male Black with black hair and brown eyes, about 25 years-old, 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 3 inches tall, weighing about 190 pounds and last seen wearing a black/brown button hooded cardigan.

Suspect #2 is a male Black with black hair and brown eyes, about 30 years-old, 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing about 198 pounds and last seen wearing dark jeans with earrings on both ears.

Suspect #3 is described as a male Black, about 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing about 200 pounds and last seen wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt.

Anyone with information regarding this robbery is asked to call LAPD’s North Hollywood Area Robbery Detectives Mahoney or Hammer at 818-623-4061




Here is video from the last stick-up that resulted in arrests and prison terms for the that crew.


For the current video, here is KTLA-TV’s story:

 

Simple Proof Of Treason By Obama And Members Of Congress

Washington, DC—Yes, we have a undeniable dependence on oil from Muslim controlled nations. These nations are rich and powerful because of American money. These same Muslim nations are run by irrational, primitive and religious zealots that threaten the free world.

We have huge oil deposits in our own soil and Americans are desperate for jobs. Additionally we need additional oil refineries. We could immediately put well over 100,000 Americans to work drilling and processing the fuel we need. This would also greatly reduce or disable the military capabilities of those Muslim nations.

Our dependence on oil is not going to end anytime soon. Why must we also be dependent upon less than friendly nations?

Any politician that does not demand we drill and refine our own oil is not serving the interests of the United States of America. We have loads of traitors in Congress serving interests of other nations and their political agendas.

The Global Warming scam and suggestions that our drilling is somehow more harmful to this planet than the drilling in the Mideast is downright laughable.

We need to demand drilling right now of Barack Obama and those members of Congress. Those that continue to obstruct should be impeached and punished. We need the jobs and the revenue now. That would stimulate our economy a lot better than propping up failed automakers and corrupt banks and Wall Street whore houses.

This is not a Republican or Democrat issue, this is something all Americans desperately need right now. Americans need jobs and to get out from under Muslim ownership. We need to make enough noise so those bastards in Washington, DC do what they are told.

Is Tort Reform Really A Good Idea?

Washington, DC—Tort reform has gone nowhere and perhaps that’s not so bad. When they talk about tort reform they raise a few cases of crazy or runaway jury verdicts to seemingly undeserving people. Judges routinely reduce overblown awards and there is the appeal process.

Civil litigation is the protection the law provides that curbs reckless, negligent acts by powerful corporations and government agencies. The gate keeper preventing frivolous lawsuits is the high cost of litigation. Filing such suits is expensive and abuse of the process has serious sanctions.

It is and should be a jury that assigns personal responsibility and applies Darwin’s Law or simply denies the claims of the unworthy or dishonest. On the other hand it’s the jury that makes a deserving plaintiff whole again.

The contingent fee system allows wage earners or folks of limited wealth to bring lawsuits when they are injured or otherwise victimized. The hefty cost of litigation is defrayed until there is a recovery within the claim system.

The lawyers agree to gamble on the likelihood of a settlement or jury verdict by taking a percentage, usually one third of the recovery. Lawyers are always reluctant to take cases that don’t have merit. Without the ability to sue people would never recover damages for death, injury or destroyed businesses.

Without serious civil tort consequences, government agencies, medical providers and manufacturers would be immune from abusing the rest of us. The tort system protects all of us and taking its teeth away would invite an avalanche of arrogance and bad behavior.

Insurance covers most Americans and unless there is coverage the contingent fee lawyers will never take those cases. The insurance companies are in the business of collecting premiums and not paying claims. They’re always looking for ways to avoid living up to their responsibilities. It’s all about profit, nothing more.

We have a jury system and it works to protect all of us from bogus lawsuits and to order compensation when they deem that reasonable. I will trust our juries a lot more than politicians, lobbyists or insurance adjusters any day. The tort system is not broken, leave it alone.

Anarchy Is On The Way!

Washington, DC—Chairman Barack Obama and his fellow Marxist revolutionaries in our Congress have hijacked the health and insurance industries. Members of our Congress never read what they passed. This was nothing less than a plan to destroy the American way of life. This was nothing less than a mass Marxist conspiracy.

Caterpillar Tractors and now AT&T along with a whole gang of other companies have discovered the new law is catastrophic to their ability to continue providing products and the jobs. We can expect the rest of the businesses to learn the truth to this HCR destructive device that will plunge America into absolute chaos.

The Obama Administration intends to follow up with martial law and grab the power to shut down what’s left of our Bill of Rights. Obama will point to the, “necessary actions” that were taken by Abraham Lincoln to suspend Habeas Corpus.

Lincoln in fact did that and a whole lot more; he seized private property including newspapers, railroads and telegraphs. Lincoln imprisoned 30,000 Americans without trials, and ordered the arrest of legislative members to prevent their voting. Lincoln actually deported a sitting member of Congress, Clement L. Vallandigham from Ohio that objected to the imposition of the Income Tax. Oh yes, Lincoln waged war on the South without the consent of Congress. Yes, Lincoln was a despot and tyrant who was canonized as a saint by revisionist historians.

With our country in a state of anarchy Obama can be counted upon to invite foreign Communist troops to bring peace and order to a new United Socialist States of America. The Socialist executioners will be working overtime to put down the resistance.

Americans must draw a line in the sand and react defensively while we still can to the treason and overthrow of our Constitution. Better for despots and tyrants to suffer the guillotine than loyal Americans.

We Can No Longer Afford Drug Enforcement in America

Everyday people are murdered because of our Drug War. People who are, or believed to be snitches, dealers, pharmacists, are killed because of the Drug War. Then there are ordinary people killed during the commission of robberies and burglaries by desperate drug addicts funding their habits.

The reasons for the drug related murders are varied and numerous. Cops needlessly risk their lives over the impossible task of eliminating drug abuse. They only effect law enforcement has, involves the correlation between drug prices and the level of enforcement.

The more enforcement we authorize, the bigger the illicit profits are for criminals. Drug enforcement is nearly as big a business as drug dealing. The entire industry needs to be shut down. Legalization and taxation is no solution because there is still a huge opportunity for criminal tax evasion corruption. We need to refrain from regulation of any drugs not involved with medical treatment.

The immediate impact would be a huge reduction in illegal immigration by drug criminals. Property crimes would be drastically reduced since the cost of illicit drugs is no more than sugar, coffee or tea.

Police and corrections people can devote their time to dealing with whatever crime is left. There will also be billions saved in the cost of prosecution and defense of drug crimes. Public defenders represent the bulk of drug offenders. The DEA budget alone is staggering. These agents could be all be redirected at foreign terrorists.

Some of the savings can also be redirected to providing medical interdiction and help to those who actually want it.

Would we have more addicts? Humans are always attracted to behavior that is deemed illegal. I just don’t see people putting that poison in their bodies just because it’s legal. Laws against impaired driving and such can still be enforced. Zoning laws can restrict where drugs can be sold.

Throwing hundreds of billions of our tax dollars away to fund an industry that makes even more money because of well intentioned drug laws is insane.

To The Visitors Of This Blog

I want to take the time to thank my visitors for reading and watching Crime, Guns. And Videotape.

I don’t expect everyone to agree with the stuff I publish here. I love the ability to have you all explore my ideas and offer your own.

I thank you all as we approach what may be the darkest days of our lives. Together we will endure and keep liberty and freedom alive.

Congressional Member Death Threats Reported!

Washington, DC--Some members of our Congress have reported death threats and broken windows at their district offices. It seems too many Americans won’t accept redistribution of wealth and Socialism without a fight.

There is another side of this issue and that is an out-of-control Congress with a slight majority of members violating their oaths to protect and defend the Constitution. Have they brought this on themselves?

When it comes to the hard won rights of Americans there is no room for compromise. Our veterans cemeteries make that abundantly clear. However some in Congress and the Whitehouse just don’t get it. They also need to remember we outlawed slavery!

When our politicians stray from the Constitution it sometimes takes years and even decades for the courts to reaffirm freedoms. Our politicians must error on the side of freedom and liberty or they may face removal through legal or even extra-legal means.

Tampering with freedom is considered risky business in any society. Tyrants have been able to shroud themselves with security since the beginning of government. History has often demonstrated that sometimes politicians and dictators are killed and that comes with the territory.

I won’t condemn every attack against political leaders. Hitler, Stalin, Castro, and other despots certainly showed an uncanny ability to cheat the assassin. Sometimes tyrants get what they deserve.

The hostile, Socialist takeover of the American Health Care and Insurance Industry is un-American and those responsible should expect punishment both legal and extra-legal.

Arizona Gun Control Evolution

Phoenix, AZ—Arizona always had open carry rights for people excluding felons, mental defectives and those addicted to alcohol or drugs. Concealed weapons were outlawed for all but police in the 1960’s.

Arizona had a population explosion of people from New York and Chicago for the relaxed Arizona lifestyle. Some of those people went into total shock when they saw others peacefully carrying guns. The early 1980’s brought suggestions of simply allowing permits for concealed weapons, That concept sent fear and condemnation throughout the State Legislature.

The late Prescott, representative Dave Carson introduced various bills forward to allow for concealed weapons. The Eastern transplants that joined the legislature went into absolute panic. Arizona’s police chiefs dutifully testified how this change would bring shootouts to every traffic accident. That, despite existing laws, that allowed motorists to carry loaded guns in glove compartments. Carson’s bills went nowhere.

Carson was undaunted and introduced these bills every year for the next 14 years. Finally Carson’s efforts paid off and the new law brought credibility to none of the violent predictions of Arizona’s naysayers. The concealed weapon permit holders in every state are a law-abiding bunch of folks.

With the liberalization of these laws in America we learned one thing. Gun control works, only on the law abiding. All the gun laws and harsh penalties have zero impact on criminals. Gun laws have only worked to disarm decent people and allow for their victimization.

Now the Arizona Legislature voted to join Vermont and Alaska in allowing for concealed weapons without a permit. Those choosing to carry weapons must not be prohibited to possess weapons by any state or federal law. The governor can be counted upon to sign this measure into law.

Illinois and Wisconsin have total bans on concealed weapons. New York, New Jersey and California radically restrict how guns may be carried with permits that are difficult or impossible to obtain. Many of these jurisdictions have confusing laws that overlap and do little more than give the bewildered and law abiding, criminal records for the rest of their lives.

Green Beret Physician’s Appeal Of Murder Convictions, Set For A Hearing

Richmond, VA—After four decades, a three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond will hear arguments in 66-year-old Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald's case on Tuesday.

McDonald was convicted after a horribly botched military police investigation of the murders of his wife Collette, 26 and his daughters Kimberly, six and Kirstin, two.

The key physical evidence that convicted McDonald was a hair found in Kimberly McDonald’s fingernail that experts claimed belonged to her father Jeffery at the trial.

New DNA evidence indicates the hair was excluded as comming from any member of the McDonald family.

The Army CID was rife with incompetence back then and they did not have today’s modern investigative tools. The high profile case spun out of control and the investigation taken over by McDonald’s now deceased father-in-law and various politicians. Getting McDonald convicted became a cause celeb that generated publicity, a book, movie and lots of revenue.

The murders of McDonald’s wife and children were unimaginable and compared to the gruesome Manson Family slaughters in Los Angeles. There was evidence of a band of hippies being involved, a confession from a member of that group and allegations by a Deputy United States Marshall of witness tampering by prosecutors during the trial.

McDaonald was a handsome fellow with a roving eye for the ladies and fell to temptation as so many others have done. Prosecutors turned that into a motive for murder. Infidelity plagues American marriages but murder, thankfully is rarely involved in such relationships.

McDonald has been serving three life terms in federal prison and finally defense evidence may yet see the light of day. Witness that could of and should have given testimony for the defense have since died and admitting their hearsay but sworn statement into evidence will be difficult if not impossible now.

In addition to defense arguments there is the issue of some very real DNA evidence connected to that single hair that prosecutors have kept buried for many years.

McDonald Brief July 20 2009

I Smell War In America

Washington, DC—As the Obama administration and a runaway Congress marches against the freedom and liberty of Americans they show their ignorance of history.

The anger over the Socialist styled healthcare seizure by government is boiling over right now. That, as the Left is emboldened to continue with their Marxist agenda non-stop.

They have enslaved the productive and taxpaying half of this nation to serve the unproductive and ungrateful other half, along with a massive police state.

On this earth there is no place ever inhabited by humans that has not suffered holocaust and war. That’s because some want to impose their will on others by force.

The British learned the hard way that you can only tax and punish, until people go to war. Then there was the time that the North imposed their will over the South. Of course by the time that war was over there was nothing to celebrate over a Union victory. The undertakers were the only ones that won that war.

History shows that the side with the most guns wins. It has not been the Leftists buying up every gun and round of ammunition produced for the last 18 months. Were they buying these weapons in anticipation of new restrictions or preparing for a Second Civil War?

Imposing your will on others by force is always a dangerous idea. History has redundantly demonstrated that fact. Yes folks, I smell war.

A House Divided Against itself Cannot Stand

It was in Springfield, IL on June 16, 1858 when Abraham Lincoln made that famous campaign speech while running for the US Senate. Lincoln foolisly seemed to believe that things would somehow work out without a Civil War.

Lincoln let out that iconic line, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." He followed that up with, “I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free.”

We are again at this same crossroad with one half of the nation enslaved to the other half and an out-of-control government. Now yet another Illinois politician may be foolishly optimistic we will avoid a second Civil War.

I don’t think our present government can endure half slave and half free but that’s exactly what Barack Obama has arranged. Obama is The Great Divider.

Most Americans are beginning to realize that the Red Menace we long thought dead is here. Our freedom and liberty is on the ropes as we plunge into an abyss of failed Marxist ideas.

Instead of our economy growing it will be the body count as this Communist revolution has only begun. It is time to purge or be purged folks. We are in for a very rough ride if we can’t politically derail that despot and his henchmen.

Adolph Hitler Hurt Germany The Most.

Berlin, Germany—At the end of World War I, Germany signed on to the Treaty of Versailles that saddled the nation with an impossible war debt to pay. This was during the time they were simply printing money as the economy tanked and Germans were actually starving.

Two opposing Socialist political parties fought for control of Germany. The Communists and Nazis battled it out. The winners were the National Socialists led by a charismatic man, Adolph Hitler who expertly used the new media of radio to lead a nation of obedient sheep.

Hitler’s PR manager, Josef Goebbels was a genius that knew to never let a good crisis go to waste. They contrived a crisis and that was the arson blaze of Germany’s Reichstag. Outraged politicians quickly voted to give the Nazis absolute power to crack down on their opposition.

Hitler delivered on his promises to feed Germany and redistribute the wealth. The Jews were targeted since they were both unpopular and wealthy. Jewish property and businesses were confiscated and distributed to Nazi Party faithful. The German people allowed themselves to be totally dependent on the National Socialist government for absolutely everything.

Jews were outlawed and those that did not flee were rounded up and sent off for "resettlement" in Eastern Europe without their assets. The dirty secret was Hitler’s Final Solution to the Jewish Problem along with extermination of the medically unfit. This was also an economical move since you need not care for or feed the dead.

Germans were very desperate for peace, prosperity and security. Hitler and his henchmen seemed to provide even better than expected and that boosted his popularity. Soon Hitler was running out of Jewish money and began the occupation of his European neighboring countries. That of course eventually brought World War II.

Still the German people were overly fond of the National Socialist messiah who filled their food pantries and stomachs with food. Those who knew the real story were tried and executed for High Treason if they made any effort to expose the Nazi atrocities.

We are at a crossroads with crisis after crisis and now we have a overly large, government dependent population that follows Barack Obama like starving puppies. Obama leads them as any other effective cult leader. Obama’s followers are just as giddy as Hitler’s were to be in his presence. The similarities between these two Socialists, is indeed downright spooky.

Germany saw 9 million of its own citizens perish because of Hitler. That does not include the Holocaust, nor the loss of all the Allied soldiers. Socialism was and is nothing more than a killing machine everywhere it has been tried.

For everyone killed or murdered in the name of National Socialism there were nearly two killed in the name of the Communist USSR under Stalin.

Getting rid of Hitler was politically impossible and those that saw the horrible direction Germany was headed had no choice but to plan his assassination. By the time the German resistance got serious, it was too little too late.

We have no choice but to rid our government of every last Socialist and Communist.
