Prosecutors: ‘Anarchist’ group of U.S. soldiers aimed to overthrow government

http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/120828101546-hinesville-fort-stewart-story-top.jpg

“A U.S. soldier laid out an elaborate plot by a group of active and former military members to overthrow the government, telling a southeast Georgia court Monday that he was part of what prosecutors called an ‘an anarchist group and militia.’  The four men became part of a group that aimed ‘to give the government back to the people,’ according to Burnett, who admitted that revolution was its goal. They called it FEAR — Forever Enduring Always Ready, and spent thousands buying guns and bomb parts. The government needed a change, Burnett told the court. ‘I thought we were the people who would be able to change it.'”

Iraq vet arrested on terrorism charges after jogging with airsoft training rifle

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/jail-west-correctional-facility.n1.jpg

“A US veteran is facing charges of terrorism after being arrested for trying to get some exercise. That’s William Alemar’s story, at least.  Authorities have charged 23-year-old Army National Guardsman and Iraq war veteran William Everett Alemar with ‘committing a terroristic act and wearing body armor while committing a felony offense.’  After spotting Alemar, authorities ordered him to the ground and then seized the weapons. He was initially held on $50,000 cash bond.”

Security Meltdown at Republican Convention in Tampa

“When I started counting, the number of machine guns strapped to National Guard or Secret Service personnel totaled 28. All roads but one leading to the Forum were barricaded, some with snowplow trucks, and the line of cars and trucks angling to make it through wrapped around two blocks.  Ditching the car, it took an hour to make it inside through twisting paths marked by security fences and confused guards. And that was before making it to a dark, covered, leaky passageway featuring wet blue Astroturf. The more troubling news is the Secret Service decision not to allow umbrellas within the perimeter.”

What Is The TSA Doing At The Republican National Convention?

Not to be outdone by the dozens of other federal, state, local, and other law enforcement agencies swarming the delegates as they attempted to enter the RNC, even uniformed agents of the Transportation Security Administration were called to duty at the entry checkpoint for this ostensibly ‘private’ convention, in another case of obvious mission creep for the constitutionally derelict agency.

The Republican Platform and the Mainstreaming of the Gold Standard

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/ralphbenko_1361.jpg

“Opponents of the gold standard have attacked and will again attack good money — and especially gold — as ‘outside the mainstream.’ That may be true for academic economists but it is simply not so for the rest of us. Rasmussen polled 1000+ voters last October, and its data revealed that hefty pluralities of almost all demographics — and a majority of Blacks — approve of the gold standard. Historically speaking, sound money in general and gold in particular represent very mainstream opinion.”

Champions of Dishonesty

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/DRUS12-15-10-1.gif

“Honest money requires honest stewardship. If, therefore, the dollar is to be an honest, trustworthy currency, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve and the Secretary of the Treasury must also be honest and trustworthy.  Anything less is a threat to the dollar’s value, which is a threat to the very foundation of the US economy.  Given this inescapable truth, what are we to make of the revelation that the Chairman of the Federal Reserve and the Secretary of the Treasury allowed the multi-trillion-dollar Libor fraud to operate for more than four years?”

Bernanke: More room for Fed action. Market runs up.

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/0824-bernanke_full_3801.jpg

“The stock market keeps getting tossed around by the Fed.  Stocks opened lower Friday but reversed course after a letter surfaced from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke suggesting there was room for the central bank to do more to help the economy.  ‘There is scope for further action by the Federal Reserve to ease financial conditions and strengthen the recovery,’ Bernanke wrote to California Rep. Darrell Issa, a Republican, in a letter obtained by The Wall Street Journal.”

What Scares Jesse Benton

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/EPJ30.png

“I was at the P.A.U.L. Fest and can give you a more accurate description of what kind of element was there. It was a very diverse group with one common trait, a hunger for the truth.  Overall, it was a friendly, diverse group of libertarians of differing scales. They were all in this liberty movement because they value peace and freedom. It was the same type of crowd I’ve seen at every Ron Paul event or libertarian gathering. If Jesse Benton thinks we are ‘bad news’ it is simply because he isn’t part of the liberty movement.”

For GOP mega-donors, a convention of their own

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/120823_rnc_convention_ap_605.jpg

“The real action will be with the Republican mega-donors gathered in arena skyboxes, closed-door hotel ballrooms and pricey restaurants around town.  They’re holding a sort of convention of their own in Florida next week.  Some of the party’s biggest names will deliver personalized briefings, pep talks and fundraising appeals. And no need to hang out with delegates or the media – bundlers who have committed to raising $250,000 or more for Mitt Romney’s campaign also get access to a VIP lounge and treated to special performances by Don Felder, the former lead guitarist for The Eagles, and the Oakridge Boys country band.”

More on the Rotten Republicans

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/thelrcblog-50019.gif

“I am on that rules committee that passed the rule allowing candidates to throw out national delegates and alternates. The article you linked missed another detail in the proposal whereby all national delegates and national alternates are bound at future conventions even if state party rules leave them unbound. It also prohibits a caucus/convention process in Minnesota and elsewhere from deciding which candidate wins the support of the state’s delegates.”
