THE SILENCE OF PATRIOTS

[USA1Patriot]

My fellow Patriots, what are we doing? Are we too busy to understand the current risks to this country or are we just plain old lazy?

As a member that has been along for the ride for some time with PFA, I must admit that I’m concerned about our group, but so are others. We enjoy a membership of over 1,450, but given the threats to this country by socialists and communists within our country, that number should be 1,000 to 10,000 times our current numbers. That is, if Americans understand that every single freedom that we enjoy today, is scheduled to disappear over the next several months.

Let’s face it folks, the ONLY honest thing the socialists and communists are guilty of, is laying out their plan and acting on those plans in rapid fire order.

The ONLY reason this country is in the situation it currently faces, is that the same Patriots and good people of this country that foresaw what would happen, remained largely silent or at best, found cause to fight with our own side.

Conservatives outnumber leftists in this country by a margin of better than 6 to 1, yet because of one BS reason or another, we allowed the socialists and communists to take over control of Congress and the Presidency, in addition to the media, educational, healthcare and our judicial systems.

Would Congress be controlled by the leftists today, had American Patriots held our own politicians to task?

Certainly not! But while we complained and railed against the unbridled spending and lack of true republican (not party, but conservative) closely held values over the last 8 years, did we vote them out of office in favor of a true conservative? No! How did we let almost 75 million conservatives stay at home and not vote at all?

Now this country is up to it’s neck in debt, socialism, unfunded mandates and a federal government that is hell bent on destroying this nation, it’s wealth, it’s productivity and the freedom of 320 million Americans. Are you still too busy to take a stand?

Look at how many blog posts go without comment by this membership. How can we say that we’re engaged in this issues, when most of our members can’t write a line or two in the comment sections of the blogs?

To make my point even more clear, wander through all of the blog posts and see how few of us take the time to proffer our thoughts by posting a blog subject.

If this membership, and Patriots in general is made up of followers, the game is over. America needs and requires Patriot leaders that are willing to step forward and be counted in swelling our ranks, our efforts, ideas and thus, our overall impact.

At PFA, we do have leadership in the form of Col. Riley and those members that have been part of the Impeachment Team and Research Team and those that spend their valuable time as site administrators. But now, PFA sits at a crossroad, every bit as troublesome as we do with the very direction of this country.

Let me VERY clear. My following points (as are the words that preceded it) are NOT authorized by Col. Riley, PFA or anyone, other than myself. No one has requested that I submit the following to this membership.

Before each American today, lays but four options for our personal and country’s future. We can:

(1) Do nothing and let what happens, happen by mumbling our personal complaints to each other only.

(2) Spend our time calling, writing, emailing or faxing our government for redress.

(3) Seek redress by a formal and legal judicial Constitutional National Criminal trial.

(4) Reclaim our government by armed force.

How many of us really expect that choosing #1 will do anything to preserve and protect this country, it’s sovereignty or our freedoms?

How many of us can claim that any of the calling, writing, emailing or faxing our government for redress, has changed a single action in the last 60 days?

Some people believe in Option #3 and some do not. All would like it to work. Perhaps if everyone looked at the long view, rather than the short view of Option #3, minds would change. What is the short view? The short view is one that begs the question of judicial impact, i.e., will it work or will it not, in directly removing those politicians and private sector persons that have broken our laws, their Oaths and or the Constitution.

The long view is, I believe, more to the point. Option #3 if done correctly, supersedes a bias media and the indifference by those in power to ignore acts of civil disobedience, anti-tax parties, Tea Parties, petitions, or calling, writing, emailing or faxing our government for redress. It also addresses the leftist judicial system that is clearly in the tank for the leftist socialists and or communists.

How?

By taking the issues of the People’s right to redress, directly in front of the American People, without for the first time in modern history, the shaded veil of a biased media coverage, political grandstanding, legal linguistics and or courtroom gymnastics that are employed to defer the rather simple approach to such trials, of determining a right or a wrong, depending only on the evidence and testimony, as permissible under our laws. Option # 3 does not depend on party politics, agendas or the skill and daring of over paid legal snake oil salesmen.

Likewise, Option #3 does not expose its self to a federalized Court system that seeks to determine the case on the basis of agenda of the Court or it’s supporters. As such, the jury of 100 (or one or more of it’s 50 alternates) shall be the sole finder of fact, not the Court.

But to be clear, Option #3 will be VERY costly to employ, as no National Grand Jury or a trial, if required, can be held via the internet, phone or even teleconferencing. By the very nature of these proposed efforts, they must be done in a live format. A conservative estimate of such cost, could be expected to range from $326,500.00 to $500,000.00 for the National Grand Jury and an additional $979,500.00 to $1,500,000.00 for the trial, if a “True Bill” is proffered by the National Grand Jury. These costs include airfare, lodging, food, ground transportation, printing and binding, conference / courtroom rent. In the case of a trial, the cost of a satellite TV channel or proper advertising, are NOT included in these cost estimates.

The best method to assure the proper funding levels for our legal efforts, would be for this membership to encourage and or demand that Col. Riley form a non profit corporation. But no one should expect Col Riley do so, without at least 40% of the PFA membership making such a request. In simple terms, if you agree that a non profit corporation is the best way to raise the needed funding, get off your collective butts and let Col. Riley know you support the idea. It’s your personal responsibility to do so…do not depend on others to make your claim for you. Based on the sorry turnout of those volunteering for the National Grand Jury, this membership had better wakeup and damn fast. I can show you the way, write the briefs and proffer solutions, but if this membership is too lazy or self centered to stand up and play a real role in these efforts and solutions, all is for naught and the communists will rejoice, while the rest of us will be nothing more than the leftist’s fodder.

I expect few problems in recruiting “deep pocket” Patriots to help fund our work. This would include many in the Hollywood elite, business owners, professional athletes, common Patriots and more. But without a non profit organization, nothing will happen.

Then there is Option #4. If you can’t support Options #2 & #3, Option #4 is nothing more than a false hope.

So in conclusion, the solutions to this nation’s problems and the very real threat of losing every freedom that we now enjoy, is in the hands of each and every PFA member. You can continue to do nothing or you can stand with myself and other’s that have already made the tough decisions. Are you REALLY too busy to defend your country by letting Col. Riley know you want PFA to become a non profit corporation or that you can be counted on as a PFA Jurist or a PFA Defendant? Talking tough and acting outraged is NOT good enough my friends. You MUST be willing, able, ready and available to ACT NOW!

Great article. I am afraid that option #1 is what got us to where we are today. We don't like what was put before, us so we just stayed home. We need to protest the candidates that are chosen for us to vote on, and not let the enemy vote in our primaries, and help elect some second rate politician. Let's close our primaries to only Rep. or Dem. of the parties.
We are a Republic of "We the People" not "We the Sheeple" so lets take our great country back and do it now.

Howdy Shamrock.
i think if you read my post i said IT MIGHT WORK?? but up to todays date NOTHING has worked.
anything is worth a TRY, but i am not holding my breath, and as for our Military before they attack a position saying it wont work is NOT the samething as dealing with a national grand jury setup by the people with NO ENFORCEMENT AGENCY to backup its FINDINGS.
thats like having a Babtist prayer meeting, we call that a HOPE SO..
and i DONT deal in them.
the ONLY backihg any national grand jury will get is from US, and what ever ARMED backing we can give them.
i do agree were all scattered out for now, but so were our forfathers in the begining
and they had just 13 colonies and we have 50 states today, so lagistic wise we are scattered.
i dont deal in false hope, or hysterics, and the ONLY way we can win this is IF this nation RETURN
S TO GOD AND THE CONSTITUTION, anything else is a WASTE OF TIME.
we can try, but in the long run, its coming down to a REVOLUTION,
and the longer we wait, the WORSE its going to be.

James Higginbotham;

What I can tell you about the National Grand Jury and the resulting trial (if any), is both Constitutional and legally binding. Having said that, why should we expect that those that have destroyed our Constitutional rights, to suddenly reverse course and willfully comply with the Constitution? I have zero expectation of that happening. So why make the effort then?

The National Grand Jury and the resulting trial (if any), would be a rallying point for both outraged American Patriots and those that seek a communist state. I sincerely believe that given the choice between a Constitutional Republic and a communist slave state, 90% of Americans, regardless of color or race, will affirm a Constitutional Republic.

Because the National Grand Jury and the resulting trial (if any) is not under state and or federal political control, if such actions are done within the limits of the Constitution and the laws of the land, perhaps for the first time in our lifetimes, the truth, the facts and the evidence will be fully open to the American public, which does NOT include the dependence on the elite leftist media for distribution. As such, the named Defendants and the elite media will most likely be the biggest losers in all of this. I can’t say I’ve ever met a person in my lifetime that is proud to have been victimized, marginalized and manipulated by anyone, let alone their own media or government, have you?

Enforcement of the decision of the jury is of course unknown at this date. However, what is law, is that the government is not agencies or elected officials, but of the people. If those that have ever taken an Oath are true to that Oath, they are forced legally, to uphold the people’s findings.

But for the sake of argument, let’s say that no one “enforced” the “findings” of the people. What then? Will we have failed? No! I sincerely believe that once the defendants are exposed for what they are, their backgrounds, backroom deals, agendas and plans by the testimony and evidence that would come to light during such a trial, would destroy these politicians and government employees from ever holding office again in any capacity. The outcry from the American people would demand that many of these same people, the highest ranking among them, be tried by a federal court which would have little option, but to also convict, based on the amount and degree of the evidence and testimony, as first revealed by our National Jury Court. Most if not all, could face long prison sentences, with some having the real prospect of the firing squad.

First of all there are Groups spring up all over the Internet asking people to "voice their opinions" of what we are all seeing in America. The GOP has NO 'definable' leader other than Michael Steele who already got into a 'mini rift' with Rush Limbaugh and you saw what the Dem0gods did with that...

We need 1 voice and 1 preferred Group to voice 1 loud message to America. That message 'should be' that all is NOT lost and the first opportunity to really DO something about what we're all seeing going on in America is the Mid-Term Elections of 2010...

We should plan NOW and if you haven't done so already, keep a 'scorecard' on how YOUR Congressman and Senator have been doing. If you disagree, use that against them when you try to 'replace' them in 2010 with someone who WILL do what the people want...

On my weekday afternoon radio show, I talk about this and other matters of importance facing America and the World today. I do the SAME thing weekends on my Nationally syndicated radio show. You have a voice, USE IT and let those in power know what YOU think...

Keep sending letters, faxes, emails and make those phone calls to Washington, DC and keep the HEAT on!

God Bless America!

How dare YOU question this administration!! YOU know they ONLY have OUR "best interests" at heart... Damn.. there went my lunch!! LOL

[Hannelore]

We have the power to stop the destruction of our country. The Founders made certain to give us the power to right all wrongs, to defend the constitutional republic against all enemies, both foreign and DOMESTIC. If we fail to use that power in a peaceful resistance today, we will leave our self's with only violent option tomorrow. If you understand what I'm trying to say here, and truly prepared to do something real to save this nation from people who like nothing about America, it's founding principles and values, those who now refer to all freedom loving patriots as nothing more than "domestic terrorist" or " right wing extremist," then we must begin to act. The only peaceful solution at this late hour is a full scale massive tax strike, a real Tea Party, in which a massive number of Americans simply refuse to continue funding what we believe wholeheartedly to be an evil corrupt government hell bent upon destroying our nation. If we fail to take peaceful action be defunding the evil befalling of our nation, only violent option will remain. All complex problem require the simplest of solution. Socialism always ends once government runs out of access to other people's money.

[Marcella Wintz]

I totally agree. Thank you for rallying us to move forward. I have been looking for someone to show us the way. I'm tired of waiting. I will assist in what ever way I can. I'm ready to work and fight to restore our Constitution and our Nation under God!

Option #3 is the appropriate choice.

[William L. Hart Jr.]

USA1,

We may be missing out on something that is picking up steam and growing faster every day, tea parties.
Timing beieng everything, we need to latch on to this grass roots movement because they are taking their first step at it. Most of us in PFA have been living between step #2- 3 for many years and have had little success for our efforts. Now it is time to pass the batton to the next runner, not go over the same ground again and again.

obama won simply by the appearance of leadership and the tela-prompter. What Americans needs desprately right now is good leadership then; The People, the good people will follow. If we who have this experience join this movement that is growing daily and lead it to victory we will all have won.

I am a civilian, I never had to fire a shot in anger, see the blood or tears of battle. I have made the comitment in my head to fight to my death if I am called. Option # 4 has been discussed over and over, I will be on the front line fireing the first shot if I have to.

Most Americans as you know are good Americans who are just at a different speed from you because they never had to go faster - some one always did it for them! Freedom is never free, some one else has always paid for us. You have viewed war with all your senses. We only see it on tv and the movies, to most it's impossible to comprehend war. We do not really know the price of freedom and it has never been so close to bieng lost. The People are just begining to feel the loss of it now!

I am of the spirit to pull the lever in the booth much quicker than the trigger on my rifle. The trigger is the final option, I only pray we use it as that. God bless us all.

Bill, a 48%er.... still miss my spellcheck

I believe, conservative's need to become radical, in the best sense of the word. We need to set clear goals, for example. Government schools can not be reformed, They must be overthrown. I mean abandoned, left behind, forsaken. The day conservatives are radicalized is the day the government indoctrination centers and the child-abuse detention camps and this corrupt, immoral system of mind control all implode of their own dead wight. It's time to declare your independence, It's time to take responsibility for your own children. It's time to say no. I, and most of my neighbors, my friends and family will go to the Tea party, this will be a start, I do hope all of you will LATCH on.

We are too fragmented, too many web sites with the same people enrolled in all of them. People think that you just have to go to one site and everything is posted the same on all sites. Col. we need a leader, just let me know what I can do? have lots of time on my hands
