Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.

Two shakes. Detonation Broken Arrow.
Sun, November 8, 2009 10:47:00 PM

-->
It's been over a year since the release of the virtual First Amendment petition entitled "Operation Broken Arrow". America, your government has responded. Treasonously. No wonder there is talk of regulating (censoring) the internet. When I try to "Buzz Up" on Yahoo! News, it just says "Buzzed!" without allowing me to post. It's a Brave New World -Wide -Web, isn't it? Let's see how much restraint the hyper-state has.

In his book, "The Sum of all Fears", Tom Clancy conveyed to me a deep admiration for the inner workings of a two-stage thermonuclear weapon.
(I read the book while undergoing malicious prosecution by the Contra Costa County, Ca. district attorney's office. Those involved in the prosecution should appreciate my sentiments. One Shelly Miller comes to mind. What did I tell Referee Berkow to tell you? That court order you were operating under was not a restraining order, it was an epitaph, before the fact. It was obtained by perjury and was in the process of being overturned in the issuing court when you used it to preemptively assault me in a lower court. You think you can just crush a man without consequences? Class is in session. Exercising my covenant rights is not a crime. Apparently, basic due process of law is too much to ask, and failure to be cowed and acquiesce as a white male gospel-believing Christian is a felony offense in the State of California. You should have consulted the wisdom of Solomon. There's a reason police consider domestic disturbances some of the most dangerous calls to respond to. It's reckoning time. I'd say you grabbed the ears of the wrong dog.)
In terms of relative timescale, were it not for the rapidity of the nuclear reactions themselves, the high explosive shape charges that initiate the implosion of the fissile "pit" and the high intensity x-ray flux that it emits which is employed to induce the fusion reaction in the secondary stage of the weapon would scatter the whole works in a relatively low-yield cloud of chemical high-explosive destruction. What physicists accomplished in the Teller-Ulam configuration was a means of snatching thermo-nuclear victory from the jaws of chemical high-explosive defeat. While the physical effects of the detonation of the high explosive shape charges plod inward and outward at a relative grass-growing pace, energy from the fission reaction of the imploding plutonium "pit" is captured and focused by a precisely arrayed structure to create and sustain an environment of heat and pressure where subatomic fusion takes place. The nuclear stages of the detonation start and finish instantaneously. What remains of the high explosive detonation and the physical warhead itself at that moment are vaporized as rays of thermonuclear high energy pass through them, having been released as the intended function of the device. The fireball, the light, the heat, the pressure wave, the environmental destruction, the vaporization and permanent shadows of people near ground zero, and the mushroom cloud are all merely the outworkings of that instantaneous blink of subatomic energy. Tom Clancy entitled the chapter describing this sequence "Three Shakes", referring to the duration of the nuclear event itself and alluding to the colloquialism "...in two shakes of a lamb's tail". Glenn Beck enjoined his audience to "pray for time". I say "let there be Light!" Time does not illuminate. Light does. The Rolling Stones notwithstanding, time is not on their side. There was a scene in " We Were Soldiers" where an isolated detachment was hunkered down, trying to survive the night, and one of them said he smelled the enemy. The platoon leader called for illumination, the area was lit up, and sure enough, they were surrounded by the enemy. The illumination enabled them to locate and direct fire upon the enemy, wrecking their stealthy attempt to wipe them out under cover of darkness. "Detonation Broken Arrow" is precisely that kind of revelatory aid.
(Tom Clancy was probably the inspiration for the tactic of using edged weapons to gain control of a commercial airliner and convert it to a guided weapon of mass destruction in an attack on an occupied building. In his book "Debt of Honor", a Japanese commercial pilot blocks access to the cockpit and kills his fellow pilot with an airline steak knife, and then crashes his jumbo-jet into the Capitol Building during a joint session of Congress, de-capitating the U.S. Government.
"However, an embittered Japan Air Lines pilot, avenging the deaths of his son and brother—killed during the Pacific conflict—flies his Boeing 747 directly into the U.S. Capitol building during the proceedings[1]. Nearly the entire United States presidential line of succession is eliminated, including the President, most of Congress, nearly all of the Cabinet, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and all nine Supreme Court Justices. Ryan, who had just been confirmed as Vice President moments before, narrowly escapes the attack and is immediately sworn in as President. He begins his term of office in the immediate sequel, Executive Orders."



Osama bin-Laden declared 9-11-01 a "great victory". It was clearly their intent to de-capitate the U.S. Government. They should be struck repeatedly upon the head with a shoe. Bin-Laden should have gone into U.S. federal politics, where real damage is being done, and where much lipstick is applied to many a porcine blunder. I wonder if he feels any shame about the fact that he has been used by the binarized U.S. Regime as an overblown bogey-man to induce public acquiescence to removal of Constitutional due-process restraints on domestic government power. What a double boob. And that Iranian Islamic tyrant appealing to white-supremacist radicals in the U.S.? What is that? Prosecuting "jihad" by political suicide? You know how the perpetrators of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing were caught? One of them attempted to recover the security deposit for the rented van they blew up in the parking garage. ("Selah". It means stop and consider that information for a while.) These Islamic "leaders" are so disconnected from the reality of their own incompetence that it beggars belief. No wonder they retain power only by brute force... Kinda sheds some light on the willingness of the Iranian People to cling so courageously to a glimmer of political liberty. Who's supplying the Iranian Regime's talking points...the Obama Administration? Or maybe just Janeane Garafalo in a "lone wolf " role...BTW Janeane, under the heading of "Historical Ignorance": "rednecks" were originally Appalachian coal industry labor organizers identifiable by the red bandannas they wore around their necks. You know... your kinda people. Under the heading of "Ethical Ignorance": painting an entire class of people with a condemnatory brush without giving them a hearing, or worse, making unfounded defamatory declarations as to their motives, is morally indistinguishable from "racism".)


Another Tom Clancy character, an armored cavalry commander, I believe, employed the wisdom in the following amusing vignette in his battlefield strategy: Two bulls, an old one and a young one, stood on a hilltop overlooking the herd. The young one suggested they run down and inseminate one of the heifers. The old one suggested a superior alternative, that they walk down and inseminate all of them.
The irony of citing the wisdom of humanized fictitious bulls will be apparent to the alert aficionado of ideological bloodsport.

(U//FOUO) Rightwing Extremism: Current

Economic and Political Climate Fueling

Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment

7 April 2009

(U) Prepared by the Extremism and Radicalization Branch, Homeland Environment Threat Analysis

Division. Coordinated with the FBI.

(U) Scope

(U//FOUO) This product is one of a series of intelligence assessments published by the

Extremism and Radicalization Branch to facilitate a greater understanding of the

phenomenon of violent radicalization in the United States. The information is

provided to federal, state, local, and tribal counterterrorism and law enforcement

officials so they may effectively deter, prevent, preempt, or respond to terrorist attacks

against the United States. Federal efforts to influence domestic public opinion must be
conducted in an overt and transparent manner, clearly identifying United States
Government sponsorship.
(excerpted)

(U//LES) The DHS/Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) has no specific

information that domestic rightwing* terrorists are currently planning acts of violence,

but rightwing extremists may be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about

several emergent issues. The economic downturn and the election of the first

African American president present unique drivers for rightwing radicalization and
recruitment.
(U) Exploiting Economic Downturn

(U//FOUO) Rightwing extremist chatter on the Internet continues to focus on the
economy, the perceived loss of U.S. jobs in the manufacturing and construction sectors,
and home foreclosures. Anti-Semitic extremists attribute these losses to a deliberate
conspiracy conducted by a cabal of Jewish "financial elites." These "accusatory" tactics
are employed to draw new recruits into rightwing extremist groups and further radicalize
those already subscribing to extremist beliefs. DHS/I&A assesses this trend is likely to
accelerate if the economy is perceived to worsen.
(Sounds like the wolf considers the sheepdog "accusatory".)

I am neither a "lone wolf", nor a recruiter for any natural human organizations.
( I do reiterate the open invitation of Jesus Christ for eternal salvation through calling upon His name and belief of the Gospel.)
I tend to regard myself as an unaffiliated sheepdog.

A dead lion.
(Former Rep. Joe Kennedy told a story of his uncle's patience after he rammed a 15-foot buoy in a yachting race — a foul that earns you a trip back to the starting line. Ted Kennedy, though, refused to give up and ultimately won the race — a lesson, his nephew said, that Kennedy applied to every aspect of his life. "If people don't have health insurance, you stay in the race. If people don't have adequate health care, you stay in the race," Joe Kennedy railed.) No rest.
Rep. Barney Frank and Sen. Chris Dodd were for the American dream of homeownership for low-income families. "Give us power, little sheep, and we'll give you housing."
Matthew 7
15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
(However, Barney Frank seems to think de-funding ACORN conflicts with the Constitution, somehow. Representative Frank, the Constitution is irrelevant to current federal policy, and your invoking of it is the United States Public Official equivalent of taking the name of the Lord in vain. To you and your colleagues, on both sides of the aisle, the United States Constitution is a swear word, used only for Oaths of Office taken with mental reservation and purpose of evasion. Rep. Barney Frank Potter also boasts of putting the Bailey Building and Loan out of everyone's misery.)
(U) Economic Hardship and Extremism

Historically, domestic rightwing extremists have feared, predicted, and anticipated a cataclysmic economic collapse in the United States. Prominent antigovernment conspiracy theorists have incorporated aspects of an impending economic collapse to intensify fear and paranoia among like-minded individuals and to attract recruits during times of economic uncertainty. Conspiracy theories involving declarations of martial law, impending civil strife or racial conflict, suspension of the U.S. Constitution, and the creation of citizen detention camps often incorporate aspects of a failed economy. Antigovernment conspiracy theories and "end times" prophecies could motivate extremist individuals and groups to stockpile food, ammunition, and weapons. These teachings also have been linked with the radicalization of domestic extremist individuals and groups in the past, such as violent Christian Identity organizations and extremist members of the militia movement.
("to intensify fear and paranoia" ? Isn't that precisely what this DHS Report is intended to do in the law enforcement community... and in the wider spheres by "leakage"?)
Is it just me, or is DHS looking in the wrong direction for the "bad guys"?
(A blog hyperlink to a bonafide Halliburton Corp. webpage announcement of subsidiary "Kellogg, Brown & Root" winning contracts to build, on a contingency basis, domestic detention centers for the Federal Government is currently down. BTW, this has nothing to do with so-called "FEMA camps". Likewise, a blog hyperlink to a White House webpage describing classified, as in "not for public consumption", protocols for "maintaining Constitutional Government in a national emergency" now only leads to a current White House webpage with various routine announcements. [A transcript of the presidential directive is purported to appear here..] The internet is a fluid environment, to say the least.)
I have compiled a fairly comprehensive roster of Constitutional grievances and formulated a virtual electronic petition pursuant to the First Amendment to the United States Bill of Rights soliciting all Oath-bound holders of Public Office, including, of course, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano herself, to implement emergency redress of those specific grievances, as well as enjoining the lawful aid and support of private American Citizens of good will to exercise their First Amendment rights in circulating and publishing said petition and organizing peacable assemblies. I e-mailed it on Labor Day Weekend, 9-1-08. Bill O'Reilly opened his broadcast from the Republican National Convention that day with the words "...as they say in prison, 'it's all good!' " Dennis Miller, appearing later on in the broadcast, said "... things just got really weird..." Really weird, indeed.
It is my opinion that the Department of Homeland Security Intelligence Assessment of April 7, 2009 cited above is an indirect, evasive, subversive, unlawful, contemptuous and vaguely threatening response to the petition entitled "Operation Broken Arrow". Many of the grievances and materials supporting the petition are represented in the intelligence assessment, except that they are accompanied by dire warnings that such views "fuel violent extremism and radicalization".
It is my opinion that the emergence of "Tea Parties" is a diversionary counterfeit of the private citizen dimensions of "Operation Broken Arrow".
Echoing a famous quote by Sally Field, with precisely the same emotion, except to a greater degree: "You hate me! You really, really hate me!" Memo to Al Gore, this is an award that carries true prestige and significance. It is the Constitutionally Patriotic equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor when bestowed by the current regime in America.
(Deliberately non-accusatory language) To Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and the dominant paradigm for which she stands: I'll see your DHS Report on "Rightwing extremism" and raise you three political commentators:












1. Bill O'Reilly.
While still broadcasting on "The Factor" AM radio program, Mr. O'Reilly took a call from a man during the early part of the Gov. Rod Blagoyevich corruption scandal. The caller voiced objections to the disproportionate amount of attention that "Blagoyo-gate" was garnering while the Federal Government was (and continues to be) recklessly plundering incalculable (and ultimately ludicrous) amounts of the future economic output of the American People in the form of future-taxation-secured debt obligations euphemistically referred to as "financial bailouts". Mr. O'Reilly berated the caller for being preoccupied with circumstances about which there was nothing he could do, and that the American Public should return to squabbling over the trivial "controversies du jour" being served up as weapons of mass distraction by the dominant government/ media paradigm. Mr. O'Reilly and/or his staff at Fox News were in prior receipt of an email from me containing the First Amendment Petition entitled "Operation Broken Arrow". "Operation Broken Arrow" contains very specific, legal and Constitutional steps that private citizens can and should take to seek immediate redress of a fairly comprehensive list of grievances, including the one raised by the caller to "The O'Reilly Factor" radio program concerning the fiduciary crimes being perpetrated through the offices of the United States Federal Government. Mr. O'Reilly's response to the caller's objections demonstrates Mr. O'Reilly's overt alignment with the current dominant government/media paradigm against the reasonable objections of an American Citizen. Mr.. O'Reilly's assertion that there is nothing anyone can do about the situation flies in the face of the specific First Amendment Constitutional provision that the American People have the right to petition the Government for redress of grievances and to reasonably expect a Government bearing true faith and allegiance to the United States Constitution to accord appropriate priority to the redress of those grievances. The current dominant government/media paradigm, which Mr. O'Reilly is willfully aiding and abetting, is, and has been, waging a comprehensive and systematic war of disinformation and misinformation of the American Public against the United States Constitution and its provisions concerning the relationship of the American People to their government and vice versa. Mr. O'Reilly's response to this particular caller, and other statements made by him concerning public acquiescence to the wrongful subjugation of the People by the current dominant government/media paradigm constitute overt acts of Treason, specifically with reference to Mr. O'Reilly's "adhering to their enemies". Mr. O'Reilly aggravates the crime of Treason by assuring his Fox News "O'Reilly Factor " television audience that "the 'Spin' stops right here, because we are definitely looking out for you!" while engaged in these overt acts to induce public acquiescence and its attendant forfeiture of the public's legal rights and interests in favor of those of their wealthy and powerful antagonists in the dominant government/media paradigm.

O'Reilly, ever in control, had picked the best locations for the shoot and timed it so the sun would be in the right location. He shepherded the kids onto a gazebo overlooking the water, and they clustered around him. His own lovely young daughter leaned in affectionately close to her dad. Nobody needed to fake their smiles.

O'Reilly had written a story for PARADE called
"What Children Can Learn From President Obama." He'd worked hard to get everything right--writing the piece, agreeing to the photo shoot, setting up the location.

"I have a question," I said, as we walked from the gazebo to a waterfront dock.

"Sure," said O'Reilly.

"Why did you write the article? Given your audience and what your fans expect of you, why write something supporting Obama?"

He stood very still for a moment, his tall figure framed against the very blue sky.

"I don't agree with all of Obama's policies," O'Reilly said. "But I admire what he's done as a person. I came from poor circumstances and I'm impressed by how he lifted himself up. I think it's a good lesson, and children can learn from it. We should take positive examples wherever we find them."

With that comment--and
his article in PARADE--O'Reilly has also set an example.. We all become too entrenched in our positions--conservative or liberal, for the President or against him.

But life is more nuanced than we are generally willing to admit. We forget that most issues--and people--are complicated, with some parts to admire and others to improve.

Don Henley - The Garden Of Allah Lyrics

(excerpted)


"Today I made and appearance downtown I am an expert witness, 
because I say I am And I said, 
'Gentleman....and I use that word loosely...
I will testify for you I'm a gun for hire, I'm a saint, I'm a liar 
Because there are no facts, no truth, just data to be manipulated 
I can get you any result you like....what's it worth to ya? 
Because there is no wrong, there is no right 
And I sleep very well at night No shame, no solution 
No remorse, no retribution Just people selling t-shirts 
just opportunity t participate in this pathetic little circus 
And winning, winning, winning' "  
It was a pretty big year for predators 
The marketplace was on a roll 
And the land of opportunity 
Spawned a whole new breed of men without souls 
This year, notoriety got all confused with fame
And the devil is downhearted Because there's nothing left for him to claim 
He said, "It's just like home It's so low-down, I can't stand it
 I guess my work around here has all been done

2 Peter 2:4-9 (King James Version)

4For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
7And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
9The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
O'Reilly reports that "The Eagles" show his image when  performing Don Henley's solo-era song "Dirty Laundry", 
which is a scathing diatribe on the Television News business 
( ...or is it the truth about it's actual New World Order dys-function? One must look through the looking glass...) :
 

Don Henley - Dirty Laundry Lyrics

(excerpted)

You don't really need to find out what's going on 
You don't really want to know just how far it's gone 
Just leave well enough alone, keep your dirty laundry  
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down 
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down 
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down 
Kick 'em when they shit , kick 'em all around  
Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies 
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie
Love to cut you down to size, we love dirty laundry  
We can do the innuendo, we can dance and sing 
When it's said and done, we haven't told you a thing 
We all know that crap is king, give us dirty laundry
...and, echoing the theme of "mind your own business":

The Eagles - Take It Easy Lyrics

(excerpted)
Take it easy, take it easy, don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.
 Lighten up while you still can, don't even try to understand, 
just find a place to make your stand and take it easy.
(Done.)
2. Dennis Miller.

In a similar instance on Dennis Miller's AM radio program, a caller to the show voiced frustration that his calls to government offices expressing opposition
to the financial policies of the Federal Government have yielded no relief. Mr. Miller advised the caller to seek solace in some type of philosophical acceptance of the status quo. 
The  specifics of the charge of Treason with regard to this overt act by Dennis Miller are roughly identical to those in the overt acts attributed to Bill O'Reilly, above. 
One mitigating circumstance in Mr. Miller's favor is that he and his staff were not included as recipients of the email containing the 
First Amendment Petition entitled "Operation Broken Arrow". 
(I have reason to believe that Mr. Miller has been exposed to its contents through his association with Bill O'Reilly, but this is total conjecture on my part.)
3.Rush Limbaugh.
See full size image    A caller to his radio program characterized the recent actions of the federal government as warfare. 
Rush Limbaugh, in reply, confined the definition of warfare to the popular conception of organized foreign assault with "tanks and guns".   
Rush Limbaugh is thus providing rhetorical "aid and comfort" to the binarized regime while contributing to the paralysis of an organized  
national defense of the Constitution against its domestic enemies. Rush Limbaugh further aggravated his own condemnation for the crime of Treason by openly declaring that
"we are watching the Constitution being shredded" while advocating only unfocused and topically superficial opposition to
the binarized political debate of the moment and propping up the illusion that there is no ideological continuity between 
successive "conservative" and "liberal" presidential administrations when, in fact, George W. Bush and John McCain rolled out the red carpet 
for the Obama Administration. Rush Limbaugh recently played a sound bite of Nancy Pelosi rehearsing the ridiculous assertion that if someone  
perpetrates an act of violence in opposition to a government policy, that First Amendment expressions of opposition to that policy by other citizens 
makes them morally and/or legally culpable for that act of violence. Mr. Limbaugh fails, either willfully, or negligently, to recognize that this is 
unconventional warfare against the First Amendment to the Constitution and is therefore yet another overt act of Treason 
committed by the  Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, and by Mr. Limbaugh's acquiescence in the face of that act. 
The fact that this practice is commonplace and elicits no alarm in the dominant government/ media paradigm merely underscores how thoroughly 
subjugated and alienated from the Constitution and its enumerated rights the spellbound American Popular culture has become through Luciferian New World Order sorcery.
A certain amount of investigation, polling, staff interviews and program transcript review will be necessary to document the allegations, but they are substantially true and factual.
Acquiescence defined.
Acquiescence is the term used to describe an act of a person in knowingly standing by without raising any objection to infringement of his rights, when someone else is unknowingly and honestly putting in his resources under the impression that the said rights actually belong to him. Consequently, the person whose rights are infringed cannot anymore make a claim against the infringer or succeed in an injunction suit due to his conduct. The term is most generally, "permission" given by silence or passiveness. Acceptance or agreement by keeping quiet or by not making objections.
A context wherein "acquiescence" is wrongful: "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing".
All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
Thomas Jefferson
Treason defined:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no
Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
(The current sitting Congress is disqualified "to declare the Punishment of Treason" by reason of incompetence and moral corruption in that, in the matter of the AIG executive bonuses, this Congress not only proposed, but actually passed ex post facto legislation, and members who voted against that particular legislation are nevertheless derelict, insofar as this practice is a direct violation of Constitutional Law and they have omitted to bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution by failure to oppose it.
"In the 1994 opinion United States v. Carlton, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously held that retroactive tax laws did not violate the constitutional prohibition on ex post facto legislation, provided their retroactive application was "supported by a legitimate legislative purpose furthered by rational means".
(Update 7-5-10. Apparently, Wikipedia is running scared from the criminal regime in D.C. Let's see how long this webpage survives the "long knives":

II

This Court repeatedly has upheld retroactive tax legislation against a due process challenge. See, e. g., United States v. Hemme, 476 U. S. 558 (1986); United States v. Darusmont, 449 U. S. 292 (1981); Welch v. Henry, 305 U. S. 134 (1938); United States v. Hudson, 299 U. S. 498 (1937); Milliken v. United States, 283 U. S. 15 (1931); Cooper v. United States, 280 U. S. 409 (1930). Some of its decisions have stated that the validity of a retroactive tax provision under the Due Process Clause depends upon whether "retroactive application is so harsh and oppressive as to transgress the constitutional limitation." Welch v. Henry, 305 U. S., at 147,quoted in United States v. Hemme, 476 U. S., at 568-569. The "harsh and oppressive" formulation, however, "does not differ from the prohibition against arbitrary and irrational legislation" that applies generally to enactments in the sphere of economic policy. Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation v. R. A. Gray & Co., 467 U. S. 717, 733 (1984). The due process standard to be applied to tax statutes with retroactive effect, therefore, is the same as that generally applicable to retroactive economic legislation:
"Provided that the retroactive application of a statute is supported by a legitimate legislative purpose furthered 31*31 by rational means, judgments about the wisdom of such legislation remain within the exclusive province of the legislative and executive branches . . . .
"To be sure, . . .retroactive legislation does have to meet a burden not faced by legislation that has only future effects. . . . `The retroactive aspects of legislation, as well as the prospective aspects, must meet the test of due process, and the justifications for the latter may not suffice for the former' . . . . But that burden is met simply by showing that the retroactive application of the legislation is itself justified by a rational legislative purpose." Id., at 729-730, quoting Usery v. TurnerElkhorn Mining Co., 428 U. S. 1, 16-17 (1976).
End of update 7-5-10.)

The "AIG bonus debacle" hardly qualifies for this provision of United States v. Carlton. The sheer political ugliness and scapegoating tactics manifested in the dominant government/media paradigm's handling of the "scandal" reflect an illegitimate legislative purpose that runs directly contrary to We, the People's more fundamental Constitutional interest in "the promotion of the domestic tranquility". The organized busing of chronically underemployed "protesters" to the homes of the AIG executives in question is a direct defecation on this more preeminent Constitutional interest. The First Amendment to the Constitution provides that the People have the right to peacably assemble and to petition the government for redress of grievances. The dominant government/media paradigm passively promotes the criminal notion that malcontents have the right to disruptively assemble and harrass, assault and even kill private citizens and misappropriate or destroy property in the advancement of their "cause", however ridiculous, intolerant or unreasonable it may be.
Maxine Waters (excerpted)
During the Los Angeles riots in the wake of the infamous 1992 Rodney King trial, Waters described the violence (in which 58 people were killed) as "a spontaneous reaction to a lot of injustice." She held "economic, social, cultural and political" factors responsible for the disorder.[1] She dismissed the mass black looting of Korean-owned stores by saying: "There were mothers who took this as an opportunity to take some milk, to take some bread, to take some shoes…. They are not crooks." Chanting the radical slogan "No justice, no peace," she attributed the rioters' underlying rage to the federal government's allegedly longstanding "neglect" of America's inner cities.
Fifty-three people died in Congresswoman Waters' "spontaneous reaction to...injustice". A U.S. Congresswoman! Treason? Hmmmmm... at the leadership level, certainly.
The "intolerant", "contemptible" Bible says:
Exodus 23
2Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
Prohibits participation in "mob rule" or its more palatable moniker: "democracy".
Edmund Burke
"Where popular authority is absolute and unrestrained, the people have an infinitely greater, because a far better founded, confidence in their own power. They are themselves, in a great measure, their own instruments. They are nearer to their objects. Besides, they are less under responsibility to one of the greatest controlling powers on the earth, the sense of fame and estimation. The share of infamy that is likely to fall to the lot of each individual in public acts is small indeed; the operation of opinion being in the inverse ratio to the number of those who abuse power. Their own approbation of their own acts has to them the appearance of a public judgment in their favor. A perfect democracy is, therefore, the most shameless thing in the world. As it is the most shameless, it is also the most fearless. No man apprehends in his person that he can be made subject to punishment."
Van Jones?
Radical? Any thoughts, Secretary Ms. Napolitano? "Democracy Now?" )
This supports the assertion, made above, that the current dominant government/media paradigm, is, and has been, waging a comprehensive and systematic war of disinformation and misinformation of the American Public against the United States Constitution and its provisions concerning the relationship of the American People to their government and vice versa.
Mary Katharine Ham on town hall meetings:
(excerpted)
But MSNBC's Chris Matthews, a political pugilist turned punctilious scold, declared Stead's words so awful, he could not bring himself to finish the thought:
A guy who thinks it's okay, in this day and age, to call himself a right-wing terrorist. This is the dangerous edge, in which these people, including some elected officials, are now dancing. We've been here before. Words lead to actions, words create the national mood, the mood creates a license. People take that license and use it. I'm not spelling it out any further because I don't want to.
Fellow MSNBCer Keith Olbermann took an uncharacteristically hard line on the use of sarcasm in a public forum, saying "even if he was being allegorical or hyperbolic, this is not language to bandy about." He accused Herger, who refused to apologize for the exchange, of "contributing to this climate of paranoia and violence enveloping our political system."
Liberal blogger Greg Sargent, from his perch at the Washington Post, bemoaned a right-wing mainstream media that excuses the flagrant use of irony by elderly veterans: "Let's face it, if a Democrat did this, there would be days of media outrage about it. Not to state the obvious or anything, but right-wing terrorists have been known to kill American citizens."
Not to state the obvious or anything, but the climate of paranoia and violence that enveloped our political system this August was largely a creation of people like Matthews and Olbermann. The edge on which we're dancing is about as dangerous as the one Ren McCormack danced on at the Beaumont prom in Footloose.
(end of excerpt)
(The edge on which the "Left" is dancing...waging unconventional warfare against the First Amendment by characterizing its exercise as dangerous and evil, with the complicity of the "Right" in failing to call it warfare, and therefore Treason... would be about as safe as ground zero in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 if the United States Constitution was, in fact, the Law of the Land. U.S. residents ["citizens" does not apply] that are opposed to the First Amendment rights and due process of law protections of those rights of the American People [as in "presumed innocence", prosecutorial "burden of proof" restraints on State power, etc.] are domestic enemies of the Constitution and the United States of America. Apparently, Matthews,Olbermann and Pelosi have forgotten, or,which is the more plausible case, they are willfully, and with malice aforethought, ignoring the lessons of the Salem Witch Trials. "President" Obama, did you somehow miss that concept in your extensive studies of Constitutional law, or are you yet another domestic enemy of the Constitution? There's a Pulitzer level interview question for you. As a followup: What good is a bigger "health" bureaucracy to Americans when we have been reduced to the status of property and livestock by those who control the dominant government/media paradigm? Why should those who would consign us to that status rest safely in their beds at night? Should they not be afraid? Isn't it your job, Mr. "President of the United States of America", to see to it that they are afraid? Very afraid? Instead, it is We, the People, who you make afraid, and ashamed, for having and exercising our rights, to speak freely, to keep and bear arms, to be secure in our persons and papers from unreasonable searches and seizures, to acquire and dispose of wealth and property in accordance with law and according to the dictates of our own consciences and pleasure, to assemble and worship freely and publicly... You are all so fired! America, let me clarify the situation for you. Money talks and bullshit walks. If the government is the payer, then the government is the sayer. Under the Federal Reserve financial system, the government is doing the paying and the saying with bullshit money confiscated from wealth you and your children haven't even produced yet, and much of that money is used to corrupt and subvert your institutions and public discourse in order to prevent you from breaking the stranglehold of your would-be slave masters. Revoke the Federal Reserve credit card and all the government and its hostile constituency have is bullshit, in which case you can tell them to take a walk, straight to death row, where they belong, for Treason.)
Some examples of the current dominant government/media paradigm's comprehensive and systematic war of disinformation and misinformation of the American Public against the United States Constitution:
This is unconventional warfare against the Constitution and is therefore Treason as explicitly described in the United States Constitution.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The fact that the American People have been so beguiled and spellbound by the dominant government/media paradigm that they can no longer distinguish Friend from Foe merely emphasizes the guilt, liability, adversarial nature and subjugatory character of the sorcerer elite. "Operation Broken Arrow" provides metrics for discerning Friend from Foe:
(Excerpted:)
"If there must be martial law, let it be to maintain order while office-holding traitors that solemnly swore with "mental reservation and purpose of evasion", to support and defend the United States Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, are apprehended, charged with treason, tried, and, upon conviction, sentenced and executed. Let it be noted that the jurisprudential function of the death "penalty" in Mosaic Law is remedial, not vengeful or punitive. It is the duty of human government. One that "humanistic" government invariably shirks, to the detriment of the culture, welfare and security of the people. If you hold public office, there is only one lawful response to "Operation Broken Arrow": an affirmative utterance of the code phrase "Broken Arrow" and immediate compliance and cooperation with its implementation. The merits of the petition are self-evident.
Nonviolent opposition shall be afforded due process of law under the terms and limits of U.S.. Constitutional Law.
Standard rules of engagement shall apply to violent opposition. The amount of violence required to achieve the objectives of "Operation Broken Arrow" shall be directly proportional to the willingness of the domestic enemies of the U.S Constitution and of the American People and of the rule of law, to fight and die."
(End of excerpt.)



The secret strategy used to defeat Napoleon, and force his abdication, has been accepted as

essential for all revolutionary efforts since that date. It is very simple. The leaders of the

revolutionary movement arrange to place their agents secretly in key positions in the

departments of supply, communication, transport and intelligence, of the armed forces they plan

to overthrow. By sabotaging supplies, intercepting orders, issuing contradictory messages,

tying up or misrouting transports, and by counter intelligence work, revolutionary leaders have

discovered they can create utter chaos in the most efficient military organization on land, at sea,

or in the air. Ten Cells secretly placed in key positions are worth ten thousand men in the field.

The methods used to bring Napoleon to ruin in the early part of the nineteenth century were

used to bring about the defeat of the Russian Armies in the war against Japan in 1904, and again

to cause mutiny in the Russian Armies, in 1917, and mutiny in the German Army and Navy in

1918.

William Guy Carr, Pawns in the Game (1958)

The Operation Broken Arrow metrics cited above will prove very effective in the short term to counter such infiltration, and the judicial processes of investigation and prosecution with extreme prejudice will serve to ameliorate the presence of domestic enemies in American Offices of power and trust in the long term.
"Revolution is a blow struck at a paralytic. ... When the debt-grip has been firmly established,
control of every form of publicity and political activity soon follows, together with a full grip on
industrialists, [both management and labour]. The stage is then set for the revolutionary blow.
The grip of the right hand of finance establishes the paralysis; while the revolutionary left hand
that holds the dagger and deals the fatal blow. Moral corruption facilitates the whole process."

William Guy Carr, Pawns in the Game (1958)


Glenn Beck asked why the American People aren't "out in the streets" against what the United States of America is becoming under the current dominant government/media paradigm. Perhaps Bill O'Reilly's, Dennis Miller's and Rush Limbaugh's responses to concerned callers to their radio programs on this very topic might shed some light on this perplexing and baffling mystery. Mr. Beck has also enjoined the public to return to personal integrity and ethics in their dealings with others. I find that oddly contradictory when Mr. Beck analogizes financially "bailing out" economically failed and unviable business enterprises with the policy of absolute forest fire suppression and attributes the analogy to his "grandfather":
...while contemporaneously tisk-tisking Maureen Dowd's tainting by blog plagiarism.
By the way, Mr. Beck, you should consider the implications of this little factoid: On a TV program presenting "both views" (sinister conspiracies or harmless confabs) of the roles of the "Bohemian Grove", the "Bilderberg Group" and other mysterious, non-public organizations, whose events are attended by the rich and powerful, in global socio-economic policy and trends, Senator Christopher Dodd's somewhat younger face appeared in a rapid succession of images of attendees at annual "Bilderberg" conferences... Senator Dodd... at a mysterious, high-level, international conference which boasts rooftop snipers as part of its security. (Granted, such people are the natural targets of kidnappers and terrorists, but one would think that they would always maintain the same level of security at any function they attend, wouldn't one?)
( Glenn Beck mockingly referenced "Bilderbergers" with an allusion to American cuisine commonly served with french fries.Question with boldness, Mr. Beck, and hold to the truth: How can multiple men, having beginnings of days and ends of life, obsessed with their geneologies [meaning they have hereditary descent] fit the description or hold the office of the "Melchizedek Priesthood"? Answer that "question with boldness" and "hold to the truth", or go home.You have not truly counted the cost. Do so, and you will have gold, tried in the fire. Some "Bilderberg" attendees at Ottawa 2006: Timothy F.Geithner,Henry A. Kissinger,Steven Rattner,George Pataki,Richard N. Perle...why do we have legislatures,like Congress,again??? Oh, Yeah...to enact memoranda from on high...like "the Economic Stimulus Package", and the "Toxic Asset Recovery Program"... not to mention "Healthcare Reform" which means "Federal Government Health Care Control"... good lookin' out! Nice to know you have our backs...wait! what is that stabbing pain? Oh, of course... you're stabbing us. Et tu, Beck?)


Not free. But then, didn't we know that?
One World Trade Center redefines the New York skyline, reasserting downtown Manhattan's preeminence as a business center while establishing a new architectural icon for the country.
Designed by renowned architect David Childs, of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, LLP, One World Trade Center incorporates new architectural and environmental standards, setting a new level of social responsibility in urban design. As New York City's tallest skyscraper, its antenna tower will rise an impressive 1,776 feet into the sky as an ever-present symbol of renewal and hope for the future.
(In their own words, Beck.. They have not underestimated you nor the American People. You still parrot the "conspiracy theory as self-evident proof of derangement" deterrent programming. They, like their god, have underestimated the Lord God. [How do you estimate Omnipotent Omniscience? Absolute folly.] Some thoughts on securitizing subversive conspiracies: 2 Samuel 16:20-23 A few of the verses have got Elton John quite cross. Connect the Irish Gang "The Westies'" initiation rite, John's/ Taupin's reference to "squealers" and "East End Gang" in "Street Kids" [...On the New York Commission, Spillane was still viewed as the boss of the Irish Mob on the Westside of Manhattan...] and the album title "Rock of the Westies", which is also a spoonerism for "West of the Rockies". Then, get a load of the Mekon and his Telezero Projector, from "Dan Dare (Pilot of the Future)" and consider the implications of this manic push for Healthcare Reform in a "hypothetical" Illuminist population control agenda:


Dan Dare (Pilot of the Future)
So long captain Dan
I fail to see what motivates your hands
Goodbye restless night
You know I loved Dan Dare, but I couldn't make his flight
So long, so long
Dan Dare doesn't know it
He doesn't know it
He doesn't know it
But I liked the Mekon
If you think this is all a coincidence, well, you all bought "evolution", which is an even less plausible theory, so....excuse me for actually looking through the looking glass instead of just looking at it...

Tradition says that when Saint Peter was crucified for his testimony, he requested that he be hung upside down, considering himself unworthy to be executed in the same manner as his Redeemer. I request that I be crucified upside down and facing the cross, should the occasion arise,'mkay, "Paramore" ? You're making me "Parannoyed". [I talk like that because I'm metanoid.] About as original as "Avenged Sevenfold".What is this pathetic obsession of so-called modern, "secularized" contemporary musicians with such "archaic" and "irrelevant" Biblical references? Methinks thou all dost profane too much. Seriously:







I would like to add Craig T. Nelson to the roster of specific people to be prosecuted for treason as a stipulation of "Operation Broken Arrow". He appeared on Glenn Beck's Fox News TV show declaring that he will decline to pay his taxes to express his opposition to government policy. This practice will discredit Constitutional and lawful opposition to government policy and strengthen the hand of the government and the domestic enemies of the Constitution and of the American People against them. Craig T. Nelson is acting as an agent provocateur for the binary regime in this instance and as such is guilty of treason as defined in the United States Constitution. Due to the popularity of Glenn Beck's Fox News venue, Mr. Nelson committed this overt act in front of multiplied thousands of witnesses. The "under cover" aspect of Mr.. Nelson's role as an agent provocateur is that he purports to be acting on his own recognizance, which is patently absurd in that Mr. Nelson could not possibly be that intellectually deficient. He, and those he is aiding and abetting, are counting on the intellectual deficiencies of many in the viewing audience, of which there are certain to be some, who will fail to discern the folly of Mr. Nelson's counsel and "leadership". To them, I advise a perusal of the experiences of Wesley Snipes and his tax avoidance escapades.
"Traditionally, an agent provocateur (plural: agents provocateur, French for "inciting agent") is a person employed by the police or other entity to act undercover to entice or provoke another person to commit an illegal act. More generally, the term may refer to a person or group that seeks to discredit or harm another by provoking them to commit a wrong or rash action."
"The role of Private Citizens in "Operation Broken Arrow" is to comply with current law and government rule, to keep to their normal routines, and otherwise stay out of harm's way. Private Citizen supporters of "Operation Broken Arrow" are encouraged to circulate the petition, organize peacable assemblies, and otherwise pursue their First Amendment and Declaration of Independence rights and duties as set forth in this petition and in accordance with law and good civic order. Incitement to commit, and commission of violent acts and destruction of property as was experienced in the April, 1992, Los Angeles, Ca. "Rodney King Verdict Riots", disruptive behaviors like those at "Critical Mass" bicycle demonstrations and other such civil disturbances at "Operation Broken Arrow" peacable assemblies shall be deemed treasonous subversion, and the perpetrators' identities recorded, if possible, for subsequent, lawful prosecution. The first incident of such disruption at an "Operation Broken Arrow" peacable assembly shall be construed as an immediate imperative command for the peacable assembly to disperse . (It means it's time for everybody to quietly leave. Those who do not immediately disperse are enemies of "Operation Broken Arrow". "Operation Broken Arrow" is an expression of American Constitutional Civilization, not neo-pagan tantrum-throwing.)"

My intent here is not to personally condemn Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Dennis Miller, or Rush Limbaugh. It is to deprive the dominant government/ media paradigm of its binary camouflage by exposing their Treason "in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort " by their characterization of current government policy as something other than the subjugatory economic, sociological, cultural, psychological, educational, institutional, and, most devastating of all, spiritual warfare against the United States of America, and the place of the United States Constitution in the nation's governance, that it is. Treason is narrowly defined by the U.S.Constitution thus:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Federal Reserve System and its fiat currency were created and are now being utilized for the purpose of the subjugation of the United States of America under the anti-Constitutional Central Government thus: the Private Sector by law must use Federal Reserve debt instruments (Federal Reserve Notes) as legal tender and has no way of storing or securing wealth against unconstitutional government seizure by hostile, targeted taxation or attachment, or dilution by massive infusions of fiat currency into the economy, and the Private Sector cannot legally issue itself unlimited lines of credit to sustain its economic activities, whereas the Federal Reserve-backed federal government can. Therefore, the very existence of Federal Reserve Notes as the basis of legal tender and current money renders the Private Sector economically bound to fund its own destruction at the hands of those who control federal economic, regulatory and monetary policy. As such, the currency functions as a weapon of war for those who operate the federal government belligerently against the American People and the free enterprise system:

Under the Constitution, and under "Operation Broken Arrow", the economic welfare of the United States Private Sector and that of the United States Federal Government are inextricably joined. What we are witnessing with government "bailouts" and corporate takeovers is a supra-national corporate criminal enterprise using the hypothetical future earning power of the American Public to finance its hostile acquisition of control of the economic means of production on behalf of the domestic and supra-national enemies of the Constitution of the United States of America and the American Citizens whose enumerated rights it was ordained and established to preserve and protect. The fact that it reserves the use of the force of arms only as a last resort in highly publicized and propagandized cases merely underscores its tactical and strategic competence in waging war. Think of it. Who but the most devious and ruthless of domestic enemies would even contemplate creating such an economically lethal financial contrivance?
Another word for "lethal financial contrivance" is "weapon".
It is warfare.
And it is Treason.
To call it otherwise is also Treason.
To acquiesce in the face of it is Treason.
The best victory is when the opponent surrenders of its own accord before there are any actual hostilities...It is best to win without fighting.

[Middle English warre, from Old North French werre, of Germanic origin.]
WORD HISTORY The chaos of war is reflected in the semantic history of the word war. War can be traced back to the Indo-European root *wers–, "to confuse, mix up." In the Germanic family of the Indo-European languages, this root gave rise to several words having to do with confusion or mixture of various kinds. One was the noun *werza–, "confusion," which in a later form *werra– was borrowed into Old French, probably from Frankish, a largely unrecorded Germanic language that contributed about 200 words to the vocabulary of Old French. From the Germanic stem came both the form werre in Old North French, the form borrowed into English in the 12th century, and guerre (the source of guerrilla) in the rest of the Old French-speaking area. Both forms meant "war." Meanwhile another form derived from the same Indo-European root had developed into a word denoting a more benign kind of mixture, Old High German wurst, meaning "sausage." Modern German Wurst was borrowed into English in the 19th century, first by itself (recorded in 1855) and then as part of the word liverwurst (1869), the liver being a translation of German Leber in Leberwurst.

In 1870 the European Bankers experienced a little annoyance in
their control system due to the fact that in America a considerable amount of silver coin was
used. The European Bankers decided that silver must be demonetized in the United States. At
that time England had much gold and very little silver : America had much silver and very little

gold.[1] The bankers on both sides of the Atlantic knew that while this difference continued

they could not obtain absolute control of the economy of the nation and absolute control is
essential for the success of big scale manipulation.

The European International Bankers sent Ernest Seyd over to America and placed at his disposal
in American banks $500,000 with which to bribe key members of the American legislature. In
1873, at the instigation of the bankers, their agents introduced a "Bill", innocently named "A
Bill to reform Coinage and Mint Laws". It was cleverly drafted. Many pages of writing
concealed the real purpose behind the Bill. The Bill was sponsored by none other than Senator
John Sherman, whose letter to the House of Rothschild has already been referred to. Sherman
was supported by Congressman Samuel Hooper. After Senator Sherman gave a very plausible,
but misleading, report regarding the purpose of the Bill, it was passed without a dissenting vote.
Three years passed before the full import of the Bill began to be realized. It was a camouflaged
Bill to demonetize silver.
William Guy Carr, Pawns in the Game (1958)
Yes, they saw the giants, but Caleb and Joshua saw God! Those who doubt say, "We be not able to go up." Those who believe say, "Let us go up at once and possess it, for we are well able."
Giants stand for great difficulties; and giants are stalking everywhere. They are in our families, in our churches, in our social life, in our own hearts; and we must overcome them or they will eat us up, as these men of old said of the giants of Canaan..
The men of faith said, "They are bread for us; we will eat them up." In other words, "We will be stronger by overcoming them than if there had been no giants to overcome."
Now the fact is, unless we have the overcoming faith we shall be eaten up, consumed by the giants in our path. Let us have the spirit of faith that these men of faith had, and see God, and He will take care of the difficulties. --Selected
It is when we are in the way of duty that we find giants. It was when Israel was going forward that the, giants appeared. When they turned back into the wilderness they found none.
There is a prevalent idea that the power of God in a human life should lift us above all trials and conflicts. The fact is, the power of God always brings a conflict and a struggle. One would have thought that on his great missionary journey to Rome, Paul would have been carried by some mighty providence above the power of storms and tempests and enemies. But, on the contrary, it was one long, hard fight with persecuting Jews, with wild tempests, with venomous vipers and all the powers of earth and hell, and at last he was saved, as it seemed, by the narrowest margin, and had to swim ashore at Malta on a piece of wreckage and barely escape a watery grave.
Was that like a God of infinite power? Yes, just like Him. And so Paul tells us that when he took the Lord Jesus Christ as the life of his body, a severe conflict immediately came; indeed, a conflict that never ended, a pressure that was persistent, but out of which he always emerged victorious through the strength of Jesus Christ.
The language in which he describes this is most graphic. "We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed, always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be manifested in our body."
What a ceaseless, strenuous struggle! It is impossible to express in English the forcible language of the original. There are five pictures in succession. In the first, the idea is crowding enemies pressing in from every side, and yet not crushing him because the police of heaven cleared the way just wide enough for him to get through. The literal translation would be, "We are crowded on every side, but not crushed."
The second picture is that of one whose way seems utterly closed and yet he has pressed through; there is light enough to show him the next step. The Revised Version translates it, "Perplexed but not unto despair." Rotherham still more literally renders it, "Without a way, but not without a by-way."
The third figure is that of an enemy in hot pursuit while the divine Defender still stands by, and he is not left alone. Again we adopt the fine rendering of Rotherham, "Pursued but not abandoned."
The fourth figure is still more vivid and dramatic. The enemy has overtaken him, has struck him, has knocked him down. But it is not a fatal blow; he is able to rise again. It might be translated, "Overthrown but not overcome."
Once more the figure advances, and now it seems to be even death itself, "Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus." But he does not die, for "the life also of Jesus" now comes to his aid and he lives in the life of another until his life work is done.
The reason so many fail in this experience of divine healing is because they expect to have it all without a struggle, and when the conflict comes and the battle wages long, they become discouraged and surrender. God has nothing worth having that is easy. There are no cheap goods in the heavenly market. Our redemption cost all that God had to give, and everything worth having is expensive. Hard places are the very school of faith and character, and if we are to rise over mere human strength and prove the power of life divine in these mortal bodies, it must be through a process of conflict that may well be called the birth travail of a new life.. It is the old figure of the bush that burned, but was not consumed, or of the Vision in the house of the Interpreter of the flame that would not expire, notwithstanding the fact that the demon ceaselessly poured water on it, because in the background stood an angel ever pouring oil and keeping the flame aglow.
No, dear suffering child of God, you cannot fail if only you dare to believe, to stand fast and refuse to be overcome. --Tract.
(Pssst! "Sting"! "Don't stand so close to me." And before you all go accusing me of having the know-how to perpetrate acts of violence and being "dangerous", why don't you acknowledge that I also have the know-how to solve complex problems like what causes tornadoes to form and why the United States of America is SNAFU, and the role the dominant government/media paradigm plays in keeping it SNAFU....like issuing assessments of "right wing extremism" through the Department of Homeland Security to terrorize and alienate the public from our "old world order": God, rights, history, traditions, mores and notions of individual liberty and property rights, the idea that those things are good and must be cherished and protected, and the equally correct notion that there is something terribly amiss in the current ruling regime in America, which is systematically obliterating those things, while nurturing and defending a criminal counter-culture that abhors and militates against those things for no apparent constructive purpose.)

That book by Nabakov
Lolita (1962) (excerpted) was Stanley Kubrick's sixth film - a brilliant, sly adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov's celebrated yet controversially-infamous 1955 novel of a middle-aged man's unusual, doomed sexual passion/obsession for a precocious, seductive "nymphet" girl.
Prologue:
A light-colored station wagon drives through the fog up to an old, dusty baroque mansion. The inside of the enormous luxurious chateau is disheveled and messy, showing evidence of the previous night's party/orgy. Empty liquor bottles and glasses are strewn around and dust covers are placed over various articles of furniture in the cluttered rooms. Marble statues, a harp, and a piano fill other areas of the rooms. [The half-abandoned, cluttered mansion suggests Quilty's own dissipated character.]
Humbert Humbert (James Mason) enters, picks his way around, strokes the harp, and circles to the large inner room. He appears to be stalking his prey, calling out for "Quilty, Quilty" (played by Peter Sellers). A bottle placed on a drape-covered easy chair falls to the floor. Hidden under the sheet-covered armchair like a shrouded, corpse-like figure, the mansion's owner suddenly stirs:
Quilty: Wha? Wha? What's that?
Humbert: Are you Quilty?
Quilty: (spoken with a lisp) No, I'm
Spartacus. Have you come to free the slaves or somethin'? [An inside joke, a clear reference to Spartacus (1960), Kubrick's most recent film.] Humbert: Are you Quilty?
Quilty: Yeah, I am Quilty. Yes, sure.

(Bracketed comments copied in context from website. My opinion as to what "Spartacus" alludes to is much deeper and more comprehensive, indeed. This goes way beyond art, commerce, or even politics:)
Humbert believes Lolita is growing up, something that Charlotte believes is only natural: "...it's only natural and healthy that she should take an interest in those fascinating creatures known as the opposite sex." She clinks his glass of pink champagne, puts on Latin music with a distinctive cha-cha dance beat, and shimmies her low-cut bodice in front of him. Charlotte believes he is so "charmingly Old World" with his conservative attitudes and concern about Lolita being out all night: "That's what I adore about you."

Nice car
Ah, I love

So meticulous
Yknow I remember when things were a lot more fun around here
When good was good and evil was evil
Before things got so fuzzy

I will testify for you, Im a gun for hire,Im a saint, Im a liar
Because there are no facts, there is no truth
Just data to be manipulated
I can get you any result you like
Whats it worth to you?
Because there is no wrong, there is no right
And I sleep very well at night
No shame, no solution, no remorse, no retribution
Just people selling t-shirts
Just opportunity to participate in the pathetic little circus
And winning, winning, winning

It was pretty big year for predators
The marketplace was on a roll
And the land of opportunity
Spawned a whole new breed of men without souls
This year notoriety got all confused with fame
And the devil is downhearted babe, cause
Theres nothing left for him to claim

He said its just like home
Its so low-down I cant stand it
I guess my work around here has all been done

And the fruit is rotten, the serpents eyes shine
As he wraps around the vine,

Lolita (1962) 4 years EARLIER
Presenting a clue to her that he is considering rejecting the room rental and is leaving, he asks for her phone number: "That would give me a chance to think it over." The number is '1776,' "The Declaration of Independence," - so easy to remember!
1-800-955-1776 (So easy to remember!)
A phone number chosen by a professional movie critic.
Michael Medved actually solicited listeners to cite aspects of his own radio show as evidence of a sinister conspiracy. I responded by citing the suffix of his phone number... before ever seeing Nabokov's / Kubrick's "Lolita". A few weeks ago, I was passed on I-680 northbound by a large, silver Mercedes Benz sporting a license plate emblazoned with "MEDVED 1". Coincidence? Sure. Mr. Medved absolutely ridicules conspiracy theories, and contemptuously derides public figures like Alan Keyes and Ron Paul who advocate rigid adherence to clear Constitutional principles rather than being blown around in the winds of aimless and easily manipulated public opinion. Methinks thou dost protest too much.
The just adhere to an objective standard of right and wrong applied equally to individuals in pursuit of justice and equity. The wicked adhere to a collective, subjective, superficial standard of right and wrong applied unequally with callous disregard for truth or justice. The former requires ascertaining the objective truth to inform policy and decision-making. (Due process of law.) The latter requires obscuring the objective truth to malform policy and decision-making. (Chew process of jaw.)
Spartacus is a 1951 historical novel written by Howard Fast. It is about the historic slave revolt led by Spartacus around 71 B.C. The book inspired the 1960 film directed by Stanley Kubrick and the 2004 TV adaptation by Robert Dornhelm.

IS IT SUBVERSIVE to march on May Day? Well, by now you know that anything which does you some good and takes a nickel out of the boss's pocket is subversive. A dollar raise is "subversive," and it's "subversive" to want your kids to grow up instead of becoming corpses in Korea.
May Day occurs on May 1 and refers to several public holidays.[1] In many countries, May Day is synonymous with International Workers' Day, or Labour Day, a day of political demonstrations and celebrations organised by the unions and socialist groups.
Adam Weishaupt was born and raised in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany.
According to Encyplopedia Britannica, Adam Weishaupt, a professor of canon law, founded the Order of Illuminati ("Enlightened Ones") in Bavaria. According to other sources, he created the order on May 1, 1776 as the "Order of Perfectibilists" which only became the Order of Illuminati later on and adopted the name of "Brother Spartacus" within the order.
Winston Churchill, Freemasonic, looking back at the Russian Revolution just a few years earlier, mentioned his name in the Sunday Illustrated Herald, London, February 8, 1920:
"From the days of Spartacus Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx (Moses Mordecai Levy) and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kuhn (Hungary), Rosa Luxembourg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States), this world conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence and impossible equality, has been steadily growing."
The current binarized status quo represents May 1, 1776.
"Operation Broken Arrow" represents July 4, 1776.
July 4, 1776 stands for "One Nation Under God".
May 1, 1776 stands for "One World Under Man".
July 4, 1776 stands for equal justice under law.
May 1, 1776 stands for despotic, forced "equality" in delusional pursuit of Shangri-la-la.
( A recent episode of "Psych" featured a drinking establishment called "Shangri-la-la".)

July 4, 1776 represents rule with the consent of the governed.
May 1,1776 represents rule with contempt for the governed.
July 4, 1776 represents the Order of Cincinnati
May 1, 1776 represents the Order of the Illuminati.
July 4, 1776 means to think nationally and act rationally.
May 1, 1776 means to "think globally and act locally".
Luke 22
25And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
26But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
July 4, 1776 stands for government of We, the People, by We, the People, for We, the People.
May 1, 1776 stands for government of We, the People, by the Wee Peephole, for the weeping of the People

7. Friends- This may be a cop out, but I would definitely have to pick the last scene of the series. The gang leaves the apartment for the last time, and the camera returns to a final pan around the room. Big fans of the show like myself can see all the scenes that happened there over the past decade, and it's so sad to see it empty. Finally the camera lands on the back of the door and the famous gold frame. Nothing sad happens in this scene per se, but it represents a lot more.

Dennis Miller made a point of canonizing Michael Crichton (author of "Jurassic Park") as a virtuous man who died too young on "The O'Reilly Factor". Michael Crichton wrote "The Terminal Man", a book which was made into a movie starring George Segal. Note the prominence of the peephole in the door to the main character's room at the mental institution.

The Trees - RUSH Song Lyrics
Proverbs 6
12A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
13He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
14Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
15Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
16These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren..)
May 1, 1776 represents the collapse of the United States of America into the New World Order by Luciferian socio-economic shape charges.
July 4, 1776 represents the annihilation of the New World Order in the United States of America by a Christ-inspired, latent cultural Constitutional thermonuclear reaction.
If you want to govern We, the American People, you do so with our consent and you come in by the front door.
John 10
1Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
If we catch you sneaking in some other way, you're a snake in the grass and our government apparatus is the lawnmower:
Exodus 22
2If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
In a tangential scene from the movie "Speed", Jeff Daniels' character is caught on the horns of a dilemma and Dennis Hopper's character taunts him about his choices. Jeff Daniels' character responds with an impotent but vehement "Fuck you!" Dennis Hopper's character contemptuously observes " In two hundred years, we've gone from ' Give me liberty, or give me death!' to 'Fuck you!' "
Patrick Henry's famous quote was uttered while the colonies were still under the rule of what Napoleon Bonaparte referred to as the "English oligarchy". Under the United States Constitution, it's a whole different equation: Give Us, the American People, liberty, or give YOU death. That is the Primary Constitutional Mandate of the Government of the United States. All other considerations are secondary. It is a standing legal principle that a creditor cannot confiscate a debtor's stock-in-trade, or his means of economic production. Other, non-essential economic assets can be attached, but the means of economic survival are off limits.
( In the "Cash for Clunkers" Program, real wealth was deliberately destroyed, the financial obligations of the American people were increased, consumers accrued additional debt, and the number of people owning cars remained static. There are legal grounds for forcibly relieving or removing a person or persons of command or from office: gross incompetence, mental impairment or disability, or a clear conflict or contradiction with the interests that the officer or office-holder is charged with protecting. That means that it does not matter whether the government's actions are malicious or negligent. When the government has been petitioned to redress the grievances that it is inflicting upon the Nation, and it responds as it has in the Department of Homeland Security Intelligence Assessment of April 7, 2009, it becomes apparent that "the power of persuasion" must give way to "the persuasion of power" if those grievances are to be redressed. That phraseology comes courtesy of Andy Stern, speaking in his capacity as head of SEIU.. In other words, "They started it!")
Hereafter, none dare not call it Treason. It has always been about the narrative.
On the Glenn Beck Fox News Channel broadcast, Frank Luntz has been counseling "Tea Party" participants on how to word their signs and frame their objections / point of view more effectively. The First Amendment does not mention a right to public demonstrations. That is a changeling, legally and Constitutionally irrelevant rite, not a Constitutional Right. Promoting it as a substitute for the right to peacably assemble and to petition the government for redress of grievances is unconventional, subjugatory warfare and as such, is treason, Mr. Luntz. Those are the only "words that will work" to end the game of "keep-away" that the dominant government/ media paradigm is playing with the rights and property of the American People. No more "Taking Evasive Action" Parties. No more debating health care, foreign policy, Dave Letterman, the "outing" of Valerie Jarrett or Plame or Joe Wilson's role on the Roll... it is "Operation Broken Arrow" or it is Treason.
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast
One does not use knives to kill the beast, one uses a sword.
Operation Broken Arrow is a Constitutional coup d'état to relieve the changeling United States Government of power and put it back in its Constitutional box.
Detonation Broken Arrow is a Constitutional coup de grâce (or an estocada recibido, the choice is yours ) to relieve the dominant government / media paradigm of its delusions of continued plausible deniability and public acquiescence in the face of its warfare against We,the People of the United States of America.
What part of "Game Over" don't you understand?
The battle belongs to You.

Back in 1982 or '83, I was watching the INXS video "The One Thing" on MTV. I heard the Voice of the Lord utter the words, "They have provoked Me." in my ear. I assumed at the time that He was referring to INXS, especially after the "Devil Inside" content of their album "Kick". I interpreted the images of Michael Hutchence and a food-laden table as a desecration of the Lord's Table and that this was what was meant by "they" and "provoked". I have since come to realize, as many who have read my expositional writings can attest, that He was referring to the Illuminati and the New World Order. It was Michael Hutchence' "suicide" and his association with Bob Geldof that illuminated the scope of what the Lord had in view when He said "they" and "provoked". What you are witnessing is a tiny sample of what happens when you "provoke" Him. There is a bumper sticker that discourages "meddling in the affairs of dragons". Tolkien observed the folly of leaving a dragon out of your calculations.. In the sight of THE LORD GOD OMNIPOTENT, JESUS CHRIST, dragons are pavement. Or fireplace ornaments.

P.S. And, right on cue, the advent of the anti-Thad. There, but for the grace, mercy and absolutely mystifying love of my Redeemer Omnipotent, less than a thousand yards of real estate from my childhood home, and precious little else, go I. Close doesn't count except in horseshoes, hand grenades, and, ummmm.... hydrogen bombs! ( I added that humorous appendix years ago. Its pertinence to this composition is especially amusing to me.) In light of the raising of the stakes, I'll still call your bluff. You are going down hard..
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Psalm 67

1God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.
2That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.
3Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
4O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
5Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
6Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.
7God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
