NEW YORK POLICE CONFISCATING FIREARMS from People Taking ANTI-ANXIETY MEDICATION

GHANDI GUN CONFISCATION
Government increases “onerous activity” to confiscate legal firearms.

April 9, 2013
The New York State Police are suspending the handgun permits of people in the state who are prescribed anti-anxiety medication, according toJim Tresmond of the Tresmond Law Firm in Hamburg, New York. Tresmond Law specializes in firearm litigation.
“We are representing a client right now who is impacted by this onerous activity of the government,” Tresmond told WBEN, a news talk radio station in Buffalo, New York.
“We were flummoxed by this whole matter,” the attorney said. “The HIPPA act is supposed to prevent this kind of thing from happening. It’s a gross invasion of our privacy rights.”
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Privacy Rule establishes national standards to protect individuals’ medical records and other personal health information, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
Tresmond said the New York State Police are responsible for taking action against legal firearms owners. “Based on information the county received from the New York State Police, they’ve suspended the permits. The State Police instigates the proceedings.”
Section 9.46 of the NY SAFE Act of 2013 authorizes therapists, doctors, nurses and social workers to report patients they determine may engage in conduct that may result in harm to self or others. If a determination is made that the person in question poses a threat, the provision permits the government to confiscate firearms. The provision is a direct violation of the Fourth Amendment and the legal standard of probable cause.
Experts said many mental health providers will likely ignore the provision.
NY SAFE was passed by the New York State Legislature on January 15, 2013, and was signed into law by Governor Andrew Cuomo the same day.

SPLC Letter to DOJ & DHS

J. Richard Cohen
President & CEO


                                                                                        March 5, 2013


Attorney General Eric Holder                                         Secretary Janet Napolitano
U.S. Department of Justice                                              Department of Homeland Security
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW                                       U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Washington, DC 20530-0001                                          Washington, D.C. 20528

Dear General Holder and Secretary Napolitano:
            On October 25, 1994, six months before the Oklahoma City bombing, we wrote Attorney General Janet Reno about the growing threat of domestic terrorism.  Today, we write to express similar concerns.  In the last four years, we have seen a tremendous increase in the number of conspiracy-minded, antigovernment groups as well as in the number of domestic terrorist plots.  As in the period before the Oklahoma City bombing, we now also are seeing ominous threats from those who believe that the government is poised to take their guns.  Because of the looming dangers, we urge you to establish an interagency task force to assess the adequacy of the resources devoted to responding to the growing threat of non-Islamic domestic terrorism.   
            Today, we are releasing our latest report on the state of hate and extremism in the nation.  The report documents that the number of militias and radical antigovernment groups grew from 149 in 2008 to 1,360 in 2012.  This latest count exceeds the high-water mark of the 1990s by more than 500.  During that decade, the growth in the radical antigovernment movement was fueled in large part by anger over the passage of the Brady Bill in 1993 and the enactment of the assault weapons ban in 1994.  Now that gun control is again being hotly debated, we are seeing a repeat of that anger, and it is likely to continue to swell the ranks of antigovernment groups.  
            In January, for example, a former Tennessee police chief who conducts weapons training for law enforcement officials threatened in a video posted on YouTube to “start killing people” if President Obama uses his executive power to enact gun control measures.  Similarly, an antigovernment movement leader in Montana said he was “prepared to become an outlaw” over the gun issue.  When U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette proposed a ban on high-capacity magazines, a well-known neo-Nazi posted her address, along with photos of her and her husband, on a racist Internet forum.  Although individuals who make incendiary public statements may not act on them, their rhetoric is a barometer of the rage that is building in certain quarters. 
            Our report also documents that hate groups remain at record highs.  The expansion of hate groups began not in 2008 but in 2000 as a reaction to the country’s changing demographics.  Now that comprehensive immigration reform is poised in the view of some to legitimize those demographic changes, the backlash that we’ve seen over the last decade may accelerate as well.   A recent study sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security, it should be noted, found that criminal violence was associated with a significant percentage of far-right hate groups. See Steven M. Chermak, Joshua D. Freilich, Michael Suttmoeller, The Organizational Dynamics of Far-Right Hate Groups in the United States at 2, DHS, Dec. 2011.
            Our data as well as that of independent researchers reflects that the country has seen an increase in right-wing domestic terrorism as the number of hate and antigovernment groups has increased in recent years.  A new study by West Point’s Combating Terrorism Center, for example, found that right-wing violence in the 2000-2011 period surpassed that of the 1990s by a factor of four.  See Arie Perliger, Challengers from the Sidelines: Understanding America’s Violent Far-Right, Combating Terrorism Center, Jan. 15, 2013.  A report by the Congressional Research Service found that domestic terrorists have orchestrated more than two-dozen incidents since 9/11.  See Jerome P. Bjelopera, The Domestic Terrorist Threat: Background and Issues for Congress, CRS, May 15, 2012.  The data we’ve collected reflects a significant uptick in racist crimes and terrorist plots in the last four years.  See SPLC, Terror from the Right: Plots, Conspiracies and Racist Rampages since Oklahoma City (2013).     
            The resources devoted to countering domestic hate and radical antigovernment groups and those they may inspire do not appear commensurate with the threat.  A 2006-07 survey of state police agencies sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security found that more states reported the presence of far-right antigovernment, neo-Nazi, and racist skinhead groups than Islamic extremists.  Joshua D. Freilich, Steven M. Chermak, Joseph Simone, Jr., Surveying American State Police Agencies and Terrorism Threats, Terrorism Sources, and Terrorism Definitions, Terrorism and Political Violence 21:3 at 461-63 (2009).  Since that survey was conducted, the number of far-right antigovernment groups has exploded and the number of neo-Nazi and racist skinhead groups has remained at a high level.  At the same time, serious questions have been raised about the level of resources that are now being devoted to assessing the threat of non-Islamic terrorism.  See, e.g., Hate Crimes and the Threat of Domestic Extremism: Before the S. Subcomm. on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights of the S. Comm. on the Judiciary, 112th  Cong. (2012) (statement of Daryl Johnson): R. Jeffrey Smith, Homeland Security Department Curtails Home-Grown Terror Analysis, Washington Post, June 7, 2011.  In light of these questions and the disturbing trends we have described in this letter, we believe it is time to take a fresh look at the issue.
            Please feel free to contact us if we can be of any assistance. 

                                                                                    Sincerely yours,

                                                                                    J. Richard Cohen

Connecticut Gun Manufacturer PTR Announces Plans To Leave In Wake Of Gun-Control Legislation



Apr 10, 2013 1 Comment Jake Hammer i_1a069f3d00f74a0d9b2d97b4e720a7b1PTR32 KFM4R, PTR91 SC_new
PTR makes great rifles, especially their version Of HKs through a deal with the company. The PTR-91 is brilliant. Big loss for Connecticut who deserves to lose them…
Excerpted from AP
BRISTOL — A Connecticut gun-maker has announced it intends to leave the state following the passage of gun control legislation it says tramples on the rights of citizens and does not show enough consideration for the industry.
Bristol-based PTR says in a statement posted on its website that it has not decided where it will move, but it has commitments from most employees to relocate. The company makes military-style rifles and employs more than 40 people.
PTR Vice President John McNamara said Wednesday that it expects to make a more formal announcement about a move within six weeks.
Several Connecticut gun manufacturers have indicated they are thinking about moving after Gov. Dannel P. Malloy last week signed the law imposing new restrictions on weapons and large-capacity magazines.
Excerpteded from CT Now: During the three-month debate over gun control in Connecticut, the name PTR Industries Inc. barely came up, but the Bristol manufacturer with 50 employees has become the first maker of military-style rifles to announce its exit from Connecticut since the state adopted a strict ban on sales last week.
“Although PTR has not decided upon a specific relocation site at this time, over the coming weeks the company will be actively considering offers from states that are friendly to the industry. We hope to have a site identified within the next six weeks, and hope to have our move completed by the end of this year,” the company said in an announcement on its web site and in a press release.
A majority of the company’s employees, “which includes ALL of our management personnel, engineering staff and skilled gunsmiths,” has agreed to move, the statement said, even though the location has not been determined.
PTR said its employees had “a heavy heart but a clear mind” in reaching the decision — and the company said it’s inviting other manufacturers and suppliers to join it in departing Connecticut. It’s unclear how many people at different supplier companies work on PTR rifle parts, but all of the components are made in Connecticut, said John McNamara, the PTR vice president of sales.
The company’s statement echoes comments made by others in the industry — who are upset that no one saw the language of the law until the day before it was adopted by the state House of Representatives, without a public hearing.
“The disregard for public input…and the haphazard production of the legislation should be insulting to any citizen or business in CT,” the statement said. “It should be a shock to us all that such landmark legislation could be written in one week, and seen by no one (including the rank-and-file legislators) prior to its emergency certification.”
McNamara said the company had representatives at the Capitol this year but, he added, “We’re a little bit under the radar.”
PTR, which stands for Precision Target Rifles, was started in 2002 when a predecessor company bought tools and designs for the HK-91 rifle from a Portuguese firm, Fabrica Militar, according to the PTR web site. The company at first made copies of the HK-91, then branched out into its own line. It reorganized in 2010, the web site said, and has beefed up its manufacturing, customer service and support.
PTR is not likely to be the only Connecticut firearms firm to move operations out of state as a result of the law. Even before the Newtown tragedy on Dec. 14 and the threat of a ban that followed, firms received many relocation offers from states in the South, West and Midwest. After Newtown, offers from other states became a flood. mpanies have said they are considering a move.
Under the new Connecticut law, signed by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy last Thursday, most military-style rifles are banned outright for retail sale in Connecticut. Firms are allowed to make and ship firearms that are banned. Still, the owners of manufacturers including Stag Arms in New Britain, with 200 employees, and magazine-maker Ammunition Storage Components, which has 100 people in New Britain, say they may be forced to leave by a backlash from customers in other states who refuse to buy from companies that remain here.
PTR, which has “1776″ as the last four digits of its phone number, focuses its statement on rights and freedoms in Connecticut, where ten of the 34 “master dealers” of PTR guns are located.
“The rights of the citizens of CT have been trampled upon. The safety of its children is at best questionably improved from the day of the tragedy that triggered the events that lead (sic) us here. Finally, due to an improperly drafted bill, manufacturing of modern sporting rifles in the State of CT has been effectively outlawed. With a heavy heart but a clear mind, we have been forced to decide that our business can no longer survive in Connecticut – the former Constitution state.”
PTR’s chief executive, Josh Fiorini, said in a Bristol Press story on March 2, “I was born and raised in Bristol and most of my employees are from Bristol. We’d like to stay here, but we are certainly aware of the fallout from the Sandy Hook shooting.”
PTR moved from Farmington to Bristol in early 2012 and changed its name from PTR-91 to PTR Industries, reflecting a broader product line that was — and remains — part of a hot trend in the gun industry. The 10,600-square-foot building that the company occupies is valued at $595,300 by the city of Bristol, and the company has equipment assessed at $1.2 million, almost all of which is exempt from local property taxes under state rules.
McNamara declined to give details about PTR’s 2010 reorganization. There is no record of a bankruptcy filing by the company but in November, 2010, a German parts-maker, SiTec GMBH, sued PTR in U.S. District Court, seeking $117,000 in damages resulting from unpaid bills. The case settled ten weeks later.
The PTR Facebook page, with more than 400 comments about the announcement by midday Wednesday, included dozens from people around the country urging the company to move to their states. In Connecticut, some dealers praised the PTR product line, including the models based on the HK-91.
“It’s better than the original gun,” said Mark Byers, an employee at the Newington Gun Exchange. For Connecticut, he said, “that’s going to be a huge loss.”
Critics of the ban, in and out of the industry, say Malloy should have realized the state would lose good employers such as PTR. Andrew Doba, Malloy’s spokesman, said in response, “The governor thinks about job creation 24 hours a day, however on this particular issue he thinks public safety must be a priority and the bill he signed into law increases public safety.”
The added background checks and stricter access and registration rules could well improve safety but it’s debatable whether the ban will do so, considering that military-style rifles are responsible for only a tiny fraction of gun deaths, and are widely available — with an estimated 8 million in circulation and no national ban in place.
What’s not debatable is that the firearms industry has been a linchpin in the Connecticut economy for more than 200 years, and is now threatened. A 2012 study by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, an industry group based in Newtown, estimated 2,900 people directly employed by firearms manufacturers, retailers and wholesalers, and another 1,900 employees at suppliers. We will have to wait and see how deeply that cluster of firms unravels.
“We feel that our industry as a whole will continue to be threatened so long as it remains in a state where its elected leaders have no regard for the rights of those who produce and manufacture its wealth,” PTR said in its statement. “We are making a call to all involved in our industry to leave this state, close your doors and show our politicians the true consequences of their hasty and uninformed actions. We encourage those in our industry to abandon this state as its leaders have abandoned the proud heritage that forged our freedom.”

Censorship in the media
After reviewing a topic sent in from Mara, we believe the public should see her article. Mara is soon to become a senior this year. Mara is on the Newspaper staff at her school, and wants to be a journalist.

Censorship is the control of speech and other forms of human expression, often in the context of government control. It is most commonly applied to acts which occur in public circumstances, such as the media. What is censored may range from specific words to entire concepts. The apparent motive of censorship is to “improve” society.

In reality, it is doing the exact opposite. Censor

Bob Livingston of Personal Liberty Digesthas posted an email written by Colorado Undersheriff Ron Trowbridge.
In the email sent to a blogger, Trowbridge describes how Christians and so-called sovereign citizens are actively demonized by the government and troopers are trained to consider them dangerous, even terrorists.
The letter was also posted on the Red Statements website on April 5.
Trooper Joe Kluczynski, a CSP analyst with the Colorado Information Analysis Center, used training materials provided by the Department of Homeland Security.
Infowars.com has documented how the DHS works hand-in-hand with the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League, two organizations that specialize in churning out propaganda designed to demonize and marginalize patriot and constitutional groups.
DHS boss Janet Napolitano showered kudos on the ADL during a conference held in early 2009. “In recent years, the Department has placed our employees in your advanced training school to educate us on the tactics used by extremists and terrorists,” Napolitano told conferees.
In March, the Southern Poverty Law Center sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano urging the federal government to establish a task force to investigate the supposed domestic terror threat posed by the likes of Alex JonesWe Are ChangeOath Keepers, the Constitution Party, the Tyranny Response Team and thousands of other Americans who dare question the government.
On April 8, Michael Snyder wrote about a U.S. Army Reserve training presentation that labeled evangelic Christians as “religious extremists” and Christian organizations as “hate groups.”

If only the people could see that Obama, ,and his crooks are and have been attacking this country in every way there is.
They are coming in a bit faster, by attacking religions, turning people off from religion for the take over. Because if they tell people just how bad their religions are they will no longer believe and turn Atheist in turn it makes their job easier to get just what they want by the illusions they feed you and those who fall for it.
It is a created illusion, that makes all of this gun grabbing, allowing gay marriages, allowing things that normally this country didn't see. The Sandy Hook was a game to grab the guns, in turn get the believers to go along with supporting their own deaths to come.
The majority of Americans are so in the dark , it is amazing how they roll along with all the UN American transformation Obama is doing to this Country.

This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists'

Pentagon Eugenics Alter DNA breed out Religious impulses via FunVax Vaccinations & Aerosol Spraying!--Video

This is from the Department of Defense back in 2005!! Here are the notes taken from the original publisher of this video:

Pentagon Department of Defense briefing from 2005. They want to alter populations DNA to breed out religious impulses via vaccinations and aerosol spraying from above. They purport to have isolated a problematic gene causing religious impulsive behavior, of which the presence supposedly can be identified with brain scans. So again for OUR "SAFETY"...another vaccine.

Hmmmm....I wonder if this the latest additive to our chem-trails and flouridated water supplies. Yes they love the people so much that they want us all to have great teeth & cloudy skies so we won’t get sunburnt!

FunVax is a Government made viral vaccine that "cures" religious fundamentalism. The government is claiming FunVax has brought stability to several countries in the Middle East and is currently responsible for the pro-democracy rallies through out the Middle East.Joey

Missouri House of Reps to Hold Hearing on MIAC Report

The Missouri House of Representatives plans to hold a hearing on the MIAC (Missouri Information Analysis Center) report, according to the House website. The hearing will be held on Monday, August 31, at 11:00 AM in the Grove Meeting Room at the Grandview Community Center in Grandview, Missouri. For more information, see the Missouri House website.


MIAC



A page from the MIAC report demonizing Chuck Baldwin, Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and patriot groups.


The MIAC report, entitled “The Modern Militia Movement” and dated February 20, 2009, came to light after an anonymous source within Missouri law enforcement sent the report to Alex Jones in March. It specifically describes supporters of presidential candidates Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, and Bob Barr as “militia” influenced terrorists and instructs the Missouri police to be on the lookout for supporters displaying bumper stickers and other paraphernalia associated with the Constitutional, Campaign for Liberty, and Libertarian parties. Infowars covered the report on March 11, 2009.
MIAC is associated with an effort by the Department of Homeland Security to fund and coordinate 58 fusion centers around the country. The Department has provided more than $254 million from FY 2004-2007 to state and local governments to support the centers,” explains the Department of Homeland Security on its website. Missouri is mentioned as a participant in this federal “intelligence” effort.
The report caused a firestorm of controversy after it was exposed by Jones and Infowars. It received national coverage and was mentioned by Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and much of the corporate media.
On March 20, Missouri governor Jay Nixon defended the report. “Both Governor Nixon and the Missouri Information Analysis Center may have acted foolishly in refusing to denounce the report for what it is – a completely inaccurate smear which if anything makes America less safe from terrorists because it identifies as terrorists some of the most patriotic groups one can imagine,” Paul Joseph Watson wrote at the time. “The fact that the document clearly constitutes libel and defamation has not gone unnoticed by Chuck Baldwin, Ron Paul and Bob Barr, who have agreed to pursue legal action if the report is not withdrawn.”
On March 19, Chuck Baldwin told Alex Jones he collaborated with Ron Paul and Bob Barr on a letter that was sent to Missouri officials protesting the MIAC report and the characterization of their supporters as domestic terrorists.
On March 24, the Missouri Department of Public Safety issued an apology to Baldwin, Paul, and Barr. “Portions of that report may be easily construed by readers as offensive to supporters of certain political candidates or to those candidates themselves,” Department of Public Safety Director John Britt wrote in his apology letter. “I regret that those comments were ultimately included in the final report issued by the MIAC.” Britt ordered the references to Baldwin, Paul, and Barr removed, however the document was not pulled from internal circulation or denounced at that time.
[efoods]On March 26, Highway Patrol Superintendent James Keathley put a halt to the report in response to media coverage. “Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder on Wednesday called on the director of the Public Safety Department to be placed on administrative leave pending an investigation of the report,” Keathley announced. In addition, Keathley promised to create a new system in which he and Public Safety Department Director John Britt will review future reports before they are released.
  • A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Kinder told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that all groups have extremists, and pointed to eco-terrorists as examples of liberal militia groups that weren’t mentioned in the report.“Apparently it was more important to focus on pro-lifers,” he said.
Americans for Legal Immigration noted on March 26 that the report was heavily influenced by the Southern Poverty Law Center. “The Southern Poverty Law Center was cited as a research source for the ‘Missouri Documents.’ Furthermore, the attempt of these documents to cast suspicion of violent and life threatening behavior on millions of Americans who are concerned about these issues is consistent with the regularly released political materials of both the SPLC and ADL,” a press release issued by the PAC explained.
“When many of us read these Missouri Documents we felt that the false connections, pseudo research, and political attacks found in these documents could have been penned by the SPLC and ADL,” said William Gheen of ALIPAC. “We were shocked to see credible law enforcement agencies disseminating the same kind of over the top political propaganda distributed by these groups.”
The SPLC played an instrumental role in a document subsequently released by the Department of Homeland Security demonizing “rightwing extremists.” On April 22, DHS Secretary Napolitano appeared before the Anti-Defamation League National Leadership Conference in Washington. In a speech, she said that “the ADL and DHS have had some good partnerships. In recent years, the Department has placed our employees in your advanced training school to educate us on the tactics used by extremists and terrorists.”
More recently, the corporate media has teamed up with the SPLC to characterize Americans protesting against Obamacare at town hall meetings around the country as dangerous rightwing terrorists. The corporate media has consistently linked Second Amendment activists and others on the so-called right to terrorism and the media-created myth of a dangerous and violent militia movement.

Missouri MIAC Documents Scandal Leads to Advisory on SPLC & ADL

(MMD Newswire) March 26, 2009 -- ALIPAC is issuing a national advisory to all local, state, and Federal law enforcement agencies and officers, along with all DHS Fusion Centers, a warning against any reliance upon faulty and politicized research issued by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and Anti Defamation League (ADL).
A national scandal emerged in Missouri, after their MIAC Fusion Center issued an eight page document which made many false claims. The documents attempted to politicize police and cast suspicion on millions of Americans. The 'Missouri Documents', as they came to be called, listed over 32 characteristics police should watch for as signs or links to domestic terrorists, which could threaten police officers, court officials, and infrastructure targets.
Police were instructed to look for Americans who were concerned about unemployment, taxes, illegal immigration, gangs, border security, abortion, high costs of living, gun restrictions, FEMA, the IRS, The Federal Reserve, and the North American Union/SPP/North American Community. The 'Missouri Documents' also said potential domestic terrorists might like gun shows, short wave radios, combat movies, movies with white male heroes, Tom Clancey Novels, and Presidential Candidates Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and Chuck Baldwin!
The Southern Poverty Law Center was cited as a research source for the 'Missouri Documents'. Furthermore, the attempt of these documents to cast suspicion of violent and life threatening behavior on millions of Americans who are concerned about these issues is consistent with the regularly released political materials of both the SPLC and ADL.
Since the SPLC was listed as a source in the MIAC Missouri Documents, ALIPAC sent a letter of inquiry to the Missouri Governor Jay Nixon on March 20, 2009 asking for more specific sourcing information.
"When many of us read these Missouri Documents we felt that the false connections, pseudo research, and political attacks found in these documents could have been penned by the SPLC and ADL," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "We were shocked to see credible law enforcement agencies disseminating the same kind of over the top political propaganda distributed by these groups."
Colonel James F. Keathley, Superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol issued a letter of response to ALIPAC and other sources on March 25-26, which states that the Missouri militia documents are being withdrawn, more oversight will be applied to future releases, the Missouri Documents do not meet the high quality standards expected from the MIAC, and that "certain subsets of Missourians will not be singled out inappropriately in these reports for particular associations".
FOX Radio Network is reporting that Missouri Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder (R-MO) has asked that Missouri Public Safety Director John Britt be placed on administrative leave. The report also says Kinder has issued a public apology to Presidential candidates Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and Chuck Baldwin.
ALIPAC would like to advise all media sources, law enforcement officers and agencies, that the ADL and SPLC are political organizations, with stated political goals and agendas which are contrary to the candidates, political parties, and millions of Americans besmirched by the MIAC documents.
While both the ADL and SPLC actively market themselves and seek roles as advisers to law enforcement and the media, both groups regularly engage in political tactics like those observed in the now withdrawn Missouri Documents. Materials from one or both organizations contributed to this scandal.
"In the past, these groups have served a helpful role in America by providing information about racist and potentially violent groups like the KKK and Neo Nazis," said William Gheen. "Unfortunately, their mission has drifted into political efforts to paint almost any American or group who opposes their broader political agendas as being associated with racist or potentially violent groups just like what we saw in these scandalous MIAC documents in Missouri."
ALIPAC hopes that future scandals can be avoided by issuing this advisory and promoting awareness of the faulty information distributed to police and media in America by the Anti Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center to prevent future scandals of this nature.

ALIPAC would like to advise all media sources, law enforcement officers and agencies, that the ADL and SPLC are political organizations, with stated political goals and agendas which are contrary to the candidates, political parties, and millions of Americans besmirched by the MIAC documents.
While both the ADL and SPLC actively market themselves and seek roles as advisers to law enforcement and the media, both groups regularly engage in political tactics like those observed in the now withdrawn Missouri Documents. Materials from one or both organizations contributed to this scandal.
"In the past, these groups have served a helpful role in America by providing information about racist and potentially violent groups like the KKK and Neo Nazis," said William Gheen. "Unfortunately, their mission has drifted into political efforts to paint almost any American or group who opposes their broader political agendas as being associated with racist or potentially violent groups just like what we saw in these scandalous MIAC documents in Missouri."
ALIPAC hopes that future scandals can be avoided by issuing this advisory and promoting awareness of the faulty information distributed to police and media in America by the Anti Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center to prevent future scandals of this nature.

Fact Sheet: Advancing the Freedom Agenda

President Bush Discusses Freedom Agenda, Lays Out Plans To Ensure That America Continues To Offer Hope To Those Languishing In Tyranny

Today, President Bush observed Captive Nations Week and discussed the progress of his Freedom Agenda while calling on future Presidents and Congresses to continue leading the cause of freedom worldwide. Different Presidents, from different eras and parties, have acted to defend and advance the cause of liberty. Because we were steadfast in liberty's defense, the cause of freedom has prevailed, and we will prevail again. It is in our interest to continue liberty's advance � because we know from history that the advance of freedom is necessary for our security and peace.

Leading The Cause Of Freedom Requires Combating Hopelessness In Struggling Nations

To protect America, we must defeat the ideology of hatred by spreading the hope of freedom. Over the past seven years, this is exactly what the Administration has done. Recently, the President issued National Security Presidential Directive 58: Institutionalizing the Freedom Agenda to offer a guidepost to future Administrations, codifying many of the policies and practices he has put in place to promote freedom worldwide. The challenge for America in the years ahead is to continue to help people in struggling nations achieve freedom from corruption, disease, poverty, hunger, and tyranny. In the years ahead, America must continue to: 1. Use our foreign assistance to promote democracy and good government. Over the past seven years, we have more than doubled the Federal budget for democracy, governance, and human rights programs. We have increased the budget for the National Endowment for Democracy by more than 150 percent since 2001.
  • President Bush has transformed the way we deliver aid by creating the Millennium hallenge Account, which offers support to developing nations that fight corruption, govern justly, open up their economies, and invest in the health and education of their people.
  • Increased aid alone will not help nations overcome institutional challenges that hold entire societies back. To be effective, our aid must be targeted to encourage the development of free and accountable institutions. America's generosity must remain tied to the promotion of transparency, accountability, and prosperity.
2. Promote free trade and open investment. Over the past seven years, we expanded the African Growth and Opportunity Act, which is spreading prosperity by dramatically increasing trade between the United States and Africa. We have implemented free trade agreements with 11 countries.
  • We are also striving to complete an ambitious Doha trade agreement, which will open up new markets for American goods and services and help alleviate poverty around the world. America must reject the false temptation of protectionism, and remain open to the world.
3. Lead the fight against disease. We are working in 15 African nations to cut the number of malaria-related deaths in half. The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is supporting treatment for more than 1.7 million people. Congress will soon pass legislation to significantly expand this vital initiative.
  • We are expanding our efforts to train health workers for the poorest countries, and to treat key neglected tropical diseases such as river blindness and hookworm. America must continue this commitment, so we can lift the shadow of malaria and HIV/AIDS once and for all.
4. Lead the fight against global hunger. Americans are answering the call to feed the hungry. This year, the United States has provided more than $1.8 billion in new funds to bolster global food security. We are the world's largest provider of food aid, but we must transform the way that our food aid is delivered. One innovative proposal is to purchase up to 25 percent of our food assistance directly from farmers in the developing world.
  • This assistance would help build up local agriculture and help break the cycle of famine. President Bush calls on Congress to approve this measure as soon as possible. America must find other innovative ways to alleviate hunger while promoting greater self-reliance in developing nations.
5. Lead the cause of human rights. Over the past seven years, we have spoken out against human rights abuses by tyrannical regimes like those in Iran, Sudan, Syria, and Zimbabwe. We also have spoken candidly about human rights with nations with whom America has good relations, such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and China. In keeping with this commitment, today President Bush renewed his call for the release of all prisoners of conscience around the world � including Ayman Nour of Egypt, Aung San Suu Kyi of Burma, Oscar Biscet of Cuba, and Riad Seif of Syria.
  • To ensure our government continues to speak out for those who have no other voice, President Bush recently issued a directive instructing all senior U.S. officials serving in undemocratic countries to maintain regular contact with political dissidents and democracy activists. America must always stands with those seeking freedom � and never hesitate to shine the light of conscience on abuses of human rights across the world.
  • Today, President Bush met with several individuals who have suffered terribly in the cause of freedom � and who inspire our country with their resolve and resilience. The President's message for all those throughout the world who still languish in tyranny is that they are not alone. America hears them. Millions of American citizens stand with them and hope still lives � even in bleak places and in dark moments.

The Best Way To Defeat The Terrorists Is To Offer A Hopeful Alternative Based On Human Liberty

We have seen a hopeful beginning for the cause of liberty at the start of the 21st century. Over the last seven years, we have seen citizens in Afghanistan and Iraq emerge from tyranny to establish representative governments. We have seen citizens in Georgia and Ukraine stand up for their right to free and fair elections. We have seen people in Lebanon take to the streets to demand their independence. We have seen strides toward democracy taken by nations such as Kuwait, Liberia, Mauritania, Morocco, and Pakistan.

Support for UN Governance of Space Explains NASA Development Agenda

by Jim Kelly
Wednesday, July 7, 2010
 Since 1979, the United Nations has been encouraging nations to ratify an international treaty that places the UN at the center of the governance of outer space. The so- called “Moon Agreement” requires that all activities on the moon and other celestial bodies be carried out in accordance with international law, in particular the Charter of the United Nations. The Agreement also provides that the exploration and use of outer space “shall be the province of all mankind and shall be carried out for the benefit and in the interests of all countries, irrespective of their degree of economic or scientific development.” Recent actions taken by the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama indicate that it has decided to support the UN in its quest to govern outer space for the collective good of humanity. This explains the recent statement of NASA Administrator Charles Bolden that “NASA is not only a space exploration agency, but also an earth improvement agency.”
Since being adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 5, 1979, only thirteen nations have ratified the Agreement Governing the Activities of States on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies (the “Moon Agreement”). Thus far, the United States has not ratified the Moon Agreement. No doubt, the unenthusiastic reception received by the Moon Agreement is attributable to the remarkable UN power grab and collectivist provisions contained in it, including the following:
1. The provisions of the Agreement apply to the moon and all to other celestial bodies within the solar system, other than the earth. (Article 1)
2. All activities on the moon, including its exploration and use, must be carried out in accordance with international law, in particular the Charter of the United Nations. (Article 2)
3. All States Parties to the Agreement must agree to use the moon exclusively for peaceful purposes. (Article 3)
4. States Parties are prohibited from placing in orbit around the moon objects carrying nuclear weapons or any other kinds of weapons of mass destruction or from placing or using such weapons on or in the moon. (Article 3)
5. The Agreement prohibits all States Parties from establishing military bases, installations and fortifications on the moon; or from testing of any type of weapons and conducting military maneuvers on the moon. (Article 3)
6. The Agreement provides that the exploration and use of the moon is the province of all mankind and shall be carried out for the benefit and in the interests of all countries, irrespective of their degree of economic or scientific development. It requires States Parties to pay due regard to the interests of present and future generations as well as to the need to promote higher standards of living and conditions of economic and social progress in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations. (Article 4).
7. States Parties must report to other States Parties and to the Secretary-General of the United Nations those areas of the moon having special scientific interest in order that consideration may be given to the designation of such areas as international scientific preserves for which special protective arrangements are to be agreed upon in consultation with the competent bodies of the United Nations. (Article 7)
8. The Agreement provides that the moon and its natural resources are the common heritage of mankind; that the moon is not subject to national appropriation by any claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means; and that neither the surface nor the subsurface of the moon, nor any part thereof or national resources in place, shall become property of any State, international intergovernmental or non-governmental organization, national organization or non-governmental entity or of any natural person. (Article 11)
9. States Parties to the Agreement must adhere to an international regime to govern the exploitation of the natural resources of the moon. (Article 11)
10. The main purposes of the international regime shall include an equitable sharing by all States Parties in the benefits derived from those natural resources, whereby the interests and needs of the developing countries, as well as the efforts of those countries which have contributed either directly or indirectly to the exploration of the moon, shall be given special consideration. (Article 11)
Thus, the Moon Agreement calls for the development and implementation of an “international regime” pursuant to which the UN will govern the exploration and use of the moon and other celestial bodies to serve its global development agenda. The pursuit of a development agenda relating to space exploration is receiving a lot of attention from the UN and developing countries. According to a report from a November 2009 United Nations/Islamic Republic of Iran workshop on space law that took place in Tehran, the theme of which was the “Role of international space law in the development and strengthening of international and regional cooperation in the peaceful exploration and use of outer space," the "policy and regulatory frameworks at the national, regional and international levels are of paramount importance to providing the necessary basis for States, particularly developing countries, to meet development goals and address challenges to sustainable development.”
A main objective of the Tehran workshop was “to promote understanding, acceptance and implementation of the United Nations treaties and principles on outer space.” In conclusion, the workshop report “emphasized the need to continue promoting the universal acceptance of, and compliance with, the United Nations treaties on outer space.” The United States was one of only fifteen nations to send a delegation to the workshop. Immediately following the workshop, at the same Tehran venue, the UN held the second United Nations Expert Meeting on Promoting Education in Space Law.
Furthering the link between outer space exploration and the UN development agenda, on December 10, 2009, at its sixty-fourth session, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution titled “International cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space” (the “Resolution”). Among other things, the Resolution:
1. Urges States that have not yet become parties to the international treaties governing the uses of outer space to give consideration to ratifying or acceding to those treaties in accordance with their domestic law, as well as incorporating them into their national legislation.
2. Notes that space science and technology and their applications could make important contributions to economic, social and cultural development and welfare.
3. Reiterates that the benefits of space technology and its applications should continue to be brought to the attention, in particular, of the major United Nations conferences and summits for economic, social and cultural development and related fields and that the use of space technology should be promoted towards achieving the objectives of those conferences and summits and for implementing the United Nations Millennium Declaration.
Likewise, the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (“COPUOS”) is promoting the linkage between outer space exploration and the UN development agenda. Established in 1959, COPUOS is responsible for reviewing the scope of international cooperation in peaceful uses of outer space; devising programs in this field to be undertaken under UN auspices; encouraging continued research and the dissemination of information in outer space matters; and studying legal problems arising from the exploration of outer space.
One impediment to the UN’s pursuit of an outer space policy framework that balances space exploration with broader development goals is the fact that existing international outer space treaties do not address in detail the development applications of space exploration. At the forty-ninth session of the COPUOS Legal Subcommittee held in Vienna, Austria from March 22 to April 1, 2010, some delegations expressed the view that:
A universal comprehensive convention governing the activities of States in the exploration and use of outer space should be developed in a balanced manner with the aim of finding solutions for existing issues, giving legal binding status to the United Nations principles on outer space and supplementing provisions of the existing United Nations treaties on outer space.
At the forty-ninth session, the Legal Subcommittee elected Ahmad Talebzadeh of the Islamic Republic of Iran as its new Chair for the period 2010-2011.
In furtherance of a combined space exploration/economic and social development policy agenda, on April 7, 2010, the Chair of COPUOS for the period 2008-2009 submitted a working paper titled “Toward a United Nations space policy.” Among other things, the working paper asserts that:
1. Space is becoming a global commons offering a unique vantage point from which to address many challenges of the twenty-first century, such as monitoring and better understanding the phenomenon of climate change and global warming, as well as supporting sustainable development.
2. The changing global context for space activities is bringing into focus the need for the establishment of standards to guarantee the long-term sustainability of space activities. In particular, there is a need for increased coordination of United Nations activities to find holistic solutions to current and emerging global problems.
3. In order to preserve order in outer space, it is desirable that States and international organizations conduct their space activities under the coverage of UN treaties governing the exploration and uses of outer space.
4. The greater involvement of the UN could help to facilitate the legal harmonization of existing domestic and international legal frameworks for outer space activities and to provide a reference policy for nations planning to create their domestic space policies.
5. It is the role of the UN to foster space activities to promote the socio-economic development of developing countries.
Apparently, the Obama administration has embraced the Moon Agreement’s vision for using the moon and other celestial bodies exclusively for peaceful purposes and the UN’s vision for the global governance of outer space for development purposes. An article in the June 27, 2010 edition of The Wall Street Journal, titled “U.S. Seeks Global Cooperation in Outer Space,” explains that the Obama administration’s new policy calls for “significantly greater international cooperation in outer space, covering a wide range of civilian and military programs.” Also, according to remarks made by NASA Administrator Bolden in a July 1, 2010 interview with the Middle Eastern news network al-Jazeera, President Obama has charged him with three things:
1. To help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math;
2. To expand NASA’s international relationships; and
3. “Perhaps foremost, to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering.”
On July 6, 2010, White House and NASA spokesmen defended Administrator Bolden’s remark about President Obama’s directive that NASA prioritize outreach to the Muslim world; however, they did so in a manner that emphasized that NASA’s key objective was to collaborate with other nations in the pursuit of NASA’s core mission of space exploration. In truth, the objective of the Administration and NASA in collaborating with Muslim-majority countries is to join forces for an expansion of the UN’s role in the governance of outer space, with particular emphasis on shifting the focus from national space exploration to international economic and social development.
Perhaps this is all that is left to a financially-strapped, deficit-burdened nation that, in 1961, listened to and heeded President John F. Kennedy’s call for a “great new American enterprise,” pursuant to which this nation would “take a clearly leading role in space achievement, which in many ways may hold the key to our future on earth.” Meanwhile, an article in the April 14, 2010 edition of The Wall Street Journal, titled “China Sets Ambitious Space Goals,” reports that “China’s manned space program aims to leapfrog the U.S. by deploying advanced spacecraft and in-orbit refueling systems as early as 2016, when American astronauts still may be relying on rides on Russian spaceships.”

DHS Suggests Christians, Constitutionalists Should Get Extra Surveillance From LEOs

DHS Suggests Christians, Constitutionalists Should Get Extra Surveillance From LEOs
PHOTOS.COM
Big government progressives and collectivists love labels. They seem to come up with a new one almost daily, as they seek to isolate and demonize one small segment of the population at a time that they can identify as “extremist” and then dismiss from any discussion about the country’s direction.
The Department of Homeland Security and the military have, in reports published over the past several years, equated a large segment of the U.S. population with terrorists for simply expressing displeasure of the nation’s course, preparing for disaster or even paying in cash. DHS and the Barack Obama regime are aided in this endeavor by government propaganda arm mainstream media and organizations like the Southern Preposterous Lie Center (aka Southern Poverty Law Center), see here, here and here.
Now, true to its communistic-sounding roots, DHS is becoming exceedingly fearful of Christians who believe the Bible is God’s word, Christian “fundamentalists” (whatever those are), Americans who believe the country was founded on Godly principles and those who believe the Constitution stands as the law of the land. In training materials, DHS has lumped Christians and Constitutionalists in with a group it calls the sovereign citizen movement and identified them as requiring special surveillance by law enforcement.
In a letter to a conservative blogger, Prowers County (Colo.) Undersheriff Ron Trowbridge revealed what he learned during a recent training course conducted by Colorado State Patrol (CSP) Trooper Joe Kluczynski, a CSP analyst for the Colorado Information Analysis Center, (CIAC). CIAC is funded by DHS and run by the CSP, and the training materials Kluczynski used came from DHS.
Here is the letter, unedited and in its entirety:
On April 1, 2013 I attended training in La Junta, Colorado hosted by the Colorado State Patrol (CSP).  The training was from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm and covered two topics, Sovereign Citizens, and Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs.  I was pretty familiar with motorcycle gangs but since we often deal with the so-called sovereign citizen groups I was interested to see what they had to say.  The group consisted of police officers, deputies, and CSP troopers.  There were about 20 people in attendance.
Trooper Joe Kluczynski taught a 2-hour section on sovereign citizens.  Kluczynski spent most of his two hours focusing on how, in his view and apparently the view of Homeland Security, people turn to the sovereign citizen movement.  Kluczynski started off by saying there are probably some sovereign citizens in this room and gave a generalized list of those groups that have sovereign citizen views.  Among those groups, Kluczynski had listed, were those who believe America was founded on godly principles, Christians who take the Bible literally, and “fundamentalists”.  Kluczynski did not explain what he meant by “fundamentalists” but from the context it was clear he was referring again to those who took the Bible literally or “too seriously.”
While Kluczynski emphasized that sovereign citizens have a right to their beliefs, he was clearly teaching that the groups he had listed should be watched by law enforcement and should be treated with caution because of their potential to assault law enforcement.  Kluczynski explained why he believed these groups were dangerous saying they were angry over the election of a black president.  When someone in the group suggested the failing economy was probably much more to blame, Kluczynski intimated that those who are not going along with the changes in America will need to be controlled by law enforcement.  Kluczynski even later questioned some of the troopers present if they were willing and prepared to confiscate “illegal” weapons if ordered to.
Kluczynski’s assignment with the CSP was an Analyst for the Colorado Information Analysis Center, (CIAC).  CIAC is funded by Homeland Security funds and run by the CSP.  Kluczynski said he gets his information from the Department of Homeland Security.  Kluczynski said he was leaving the CSP at the end of that week (March 29, 2013) to begin his new career with Homeland Security.  I thought he was perfect for the job.

Trowbridge’s boss, Sheriff Jim Faull, issued a news release Monday suggesting CSP suspend and re-evaluate the training program, because: “When an instructor with a state law enforcement agency is teaching their (sic) own employees and other law enforcement agencies that bible (sic) believing citizens and those that do not agree with current political trends are dangerous and should be under the scrutiny of law enforcement, then that agency needs to make some fundamental changes with that particular course.”
Trowbridge said he was surprised and frightened by the amount of attention his letter received, but he stood by it. He issued another letter on Monday responding to those seeking to verify his initial claims.
Understand what is at work here is a concerted effort by the regime to marginalize and demonize Americans, “those who are not going along with the changes” the Marxist Obama regime is making to the country. Demonizing and ultimately dehumanizing the “enemy” is a tried and true propaganda tactic. You will also see this tactic demonstrated in the comments posted to Personal Liberty articles by the regime’s messengers, who have taken to equating the Tea Party with the Taliban and calling them extremists and terrorists. It is a designed strategy based on the Saul Alinsky model.
