AMERICA’S GREAT FUTURE LIES WITHIN HER PEOPLE

THIS
IS WHY WE BELIEVE IN THE REPUBLIC
“Mr. President, it is natural for man to indulge in the illusions
of hope. I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and
provide for it. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to
be free—if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges
for which we have been so long contending—if we mean not basely
to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged,
and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious
object of our contest shall be obtained—we must fight! I repeat
it, sir, we MUST fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is
all that is left us!
Gentlemen may cry, peace, peace—but there is no peace. The war
is actually begun. Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand
we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have?
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price
of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course
others may take; but as for me, GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!!”-----Patrick
Henry
A REMINDER OF WHY WE BELIEVE WHAT WE BELIEVE
“Firearms
are second only to the Constitution in importance, they are the people’s
liberty teeth.”
“It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the
Bible.”
“The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains
evil interference—they deserve a place of honor with all that’s
good.”
“Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like
fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”
“To contract new debts is not the way to pay old ones.”
--Quotes from General George Washington
A
SECOND REMINDER OF WHY WE RESIST OPPRESSION
“I am not among those who fear the people. They, and not the rich,
are our dependence for continued freedom. And to preserve their independence,
we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make
our election between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude.
If we run into such debt, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in
our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our
amusements, for our calling and our creeds, we must come to labor sixteen
hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the
government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being
insufficient to afford us bread. We must live then, on oatmeal and potatoes;
have no time to think, no means of calling our miss managers to account
but be made glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet
their chains on the necks of our fellow suffers.
Our land-holders, too, retaining indeed the title and stewardship of
estates called theirs, but held really in trust for the treasury, must
wander, in foreign countries, and be contented with penury, obscurity,
exile, and watch the pretentious glory of the nation.
This example reads to us the salutary lesson, that private fortunes
are destroyed by public as well as by private extravagances.

And
this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle
in one instance, becomes a precedent for the second; that second for
a third; and so on, till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons
of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering.
Then begins, indeed, the bellum omnium in omnia, which some philosophers
observing to be so general in this world, have mistaken for the natural,
instead of the abusive state of man.
And the fore-horse of this frightful team is PUBLIC DEBT. Taxation follows
that, and in its train, wretchedness and oppression.” -----Thomas
Jefferson, letter to Samuel Kercheval, Monticello, July 12, 1816
Upon countless hours of reflection, I remain convinced that the only
hope for a rediscovered, reinvented and revived nation, lies within
the hearts and souls of her people. I mean clearly, people who understand
her past, have worked to sustain her as a republic, and are prepared
to do WHATEVER IS NECESSARY to rescue her from an evil so vile as to
defy description. We have entered the city limits of hell on earth.
Only a rescue on the level of angel warriors can escort us out of the
mess we have created and allowed to occur. Assuming that the Heavenly
Legions would prefer to see at least a modicum of effort on our part,
I still see a catastrophic struggle on the near horizon that will call
for every last ounce of our collective courage to see it through to
ultimate victory.
God calls each of us to a path chosen and designed by Him because He
knows our strengths and our flaws. He is the one who stands by us in
the dark and calms us just before battle. I assure you I know this to
be true. I have lived it out many times. He has never failed me. Like
any seasoned warrior, I am prepared to do what I can for as long as
God asks me to fight. I will also tell you that any victorious combatant
will readily admit that it was his comrades in arms that made the ultimate
difference and who stand with him in the gap that allowed survival and
success. Strength in numbers and superior firepower are key elements
in any battle. That is not a mere cliché. IT IS THE GO-AHEAD
MARGIN!
However,
without an A-Team of like-minded Green Berets who, when asked how far
will they go, answer…”ALL THE WAY,” even then, you
are destined to fight against all reasonable odds of success. As the
late Charles Hastings Smith, the “Poet of the Ozarks,” and
a personal friend of mine once said, “I am part of the fellowship
of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit Power. The die has been cast, I
have stepped over the line, the decision has been made—I am a
disciple of Jesus. I won’t look back, let up, slow down or back
away. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future secure.
I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back,
diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate
in the presence of the adversary, or negotiate at the table of the enemy
I will not shut up, let up, or give up. I serve Jesus the Christ, I
am already a victor with and by Him. N-O-T-H-I-N-G E-L-S-E M-A-T-T-E-R-S!”
I could not agree more, Charles.
With friends and family like these listed below---those who have meant
the most and who have accompanied me and the one who has paid the final
price for my life, I can never thank them enough for their valor and
their love for me and their native land.”

And
so I begin this next phase of trial and effort for my beloved Republic.
I hold her in my arms and whisper sweet assurances that I will not forsake
her nor leave her without doing all that is possible to bring her back
to peace and tranquility, safe from those who would violate and wound
her further. I retreat for the time being into her gentle steams and
forests, mountains and plains, farms and ranches…..to help those
who need it the most and can do the least--the weary, the lost, and
the defeated. I will assist as you now gather in small groups to discuss,
prepare, train, and plan for winning the struggle that is set before
you. It is the ultimate test wherein a nation and her people win freedom
and life, or drown in a sea of slavery and defeat. For me, there is
absolutely NO choice. I will do all that my experience, age, and tactical
abilities allow me to do. I choose to join you on the field of struggle.
In my heart, I pray to live long enough to see my children thrive and
my grandchildren grow in peace---if that be possible. If not, then let
me struggle for them, if someone must again see the horror that pits
good men against evil ones. Oh, God, may they not have to see that.
The willing, the righteous, and the triumphant must survive…there
is no second place. Let me confront the bastards that eat men’s
lives for wealth and greed; I long to place a dagger in their putrid
hearts.
And now, here are thoughts about the few that have traveled most of
life with me. How grateful I am for their counsel, patience and love.
My precious wife Liz, with her Christian testimony that has never failed,
and a heart that loves and protects, she is our family’s model
for life. My mother, whose kindness and generosity still abound. My
sister Pam, for the courage and quiet dignity she has shown alone, for
many years. To my brother Jeff, a true and faithful brother in heart
through life that has never failed me. My son, Ben, is a peace officer
and family loyal gentleman that stands above the rest, moral, strong
and true. Jessica, my daughter, is breathtaking in her outer and inner
beauty, a fighter for what she believes. Rachael, Jessica, and Nathan,
Liz’ magnificent children, the family that came to me after my
wife Yvonne went to be with the Lord. Liz’ “mom” Carol,
sister and brother-in-law Kathy and Dan, our grandchildren Chloe, Rory,
Gabriel, Sophia, Gavin, Trey, Pyper and Ayva, are all so unique. To
Kathleen, Ronnie and Beverly, on the high plains of New Mexico, thanks,
for giving me your wisdom and acceptance, you are all truly my precious
family.
Rick, we have seen so much as peace officers. I can’t imagine
going through this without you manning a “50.” John, you
are the only honest attorney I know. Bail me out someday, please. Brian,
the only honest “fed” I have ever known….I’m
counting on you to live out your oath to this nation, we are counting
on you.
Then of course there are Bob and Darlene, our “end days”
family, Billy Joe, Col. Nelson, Jay, Jackie, John at RBN, John at My
Power pad, Drew Raines, Dave, George, Don Nicholoff, Jack McLamb, Richard
Mack, Chris, Bill Moore, good friends, always there at the critical
moments.
Men of valor, my partners, Kansas State Troopers Larry Zeutenhorst,
Charlie Smith and Conroy O’Brien, all there the day I received
the Kansas Medal of Honor, the “Governor’s Award”
at the State Capitol, sharing the moment and now all passed on to Glory
ahead of us, waiting and watching. Hundreds and thousands of police
officers at all levels who know the truth, I will be with you in spirit,
on duty, standing against illegal orders, and all for the protection
of “the people.”
My in-laws, Mel and Edna, always there, steady, wise, loving.
My
dear deceased father flew a B-24 that paved the skies with power and
courage. Finally, among thousands more I could name is one Maynard Brazeal,
retired director of the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center. A man
of courage, intellect, compassion for his men and valor in action only
a few will ever see, one of my dearest friends and mentors. God protect
you. My life and my dedication are made complete because of what you
have all done for me. Thank you just opens the book. Brotherly love
for all of you binds it together.
To Paul Walter, Devvy Kidd, Alan Stang, Frosty, Coach Dave, Chuck Baldwin,
Andrew Wallace, Sheriff Jim, and others at NewsWithViews.com, who have
distinguished themselves in full view of America, indeed the world.
Friends I count on in this battle of words and people who possess courage
unmatched in my view. They are standing “on the green” for
you folks; they have sacrificed more than you can know with no reward,
for the good of our nation. God bless each one, richly.
Ladies and gentlemen of the Republic, “Now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their country……” The rest is up to you. For the love of God and country, do not fail. Stand rock steady. Do not quit. Do not fear. God is with you, if you claim Him and surrender to His love. In the end THAT is truly, ALL that matters.
