Oathkeepers.org

Posted on by

It’s time for me, ladies and gentlemen, dear readers of my blog, to take at least a partial stand.

I’ve been revealing certain elements of my job over the past years.

I’ve been forced, I now reckon, to take something of a much more firm stand that I feel compelled to make publicly.

I am a member of Oathkeepers.org.

From this moment on, I shall likely be the subject of various investigations and some amount of scrutiny both public and private. I may even be investigated, covertly or overtly, by my own department. I know I shall clearly be adjudged by some of those officers around me as an activist and an unwarranted reactionary. I am purposely going to refer some of my department’s officers to this very specific post.

Because I am a law enforcement officer. That, in and of itself, is no great revelation for those who have read me over the past six years, since 2004. Some of my prototypical posts are there at the top right of my sidebar, for you to read.

This is my blog. I get to write here. I get to make certain assertions and allegations. It is up to my readers to determine veracity, standing, opinions, quality, or the lack of all thereof.

At this point in time, however, I deem it necessary to declare, via Oathkeepers:

1. We will NOT obey orders to disarm the American people.

2. We will NOT obey orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people

3. We will NOT obey orders to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or to subject them to military tribunal.

4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a “state of emergency” on a state.

5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty.

6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps.

7. We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext.

8. We will NOT obey orders to assist or support the use of any foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people to “keep the peace” or to “maintain control.”

9. We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies.

10.We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances.

On their face, clearly logical points on which to decree one’s loyalty.

Now, taken singly or collectively, oaths which may fundamentally threaten the powers currently in federal office.

And how sad is it, in reflection, that I must even remotely fear that any portion of my United States government would take the slightest point of umbrage to those points above — points that I set rolling for the next 30 years in 1980.

When I was sworn in for my current agency as a Deputy Sheriff on March 16th of 1980, I held up my right hand and repeated:

I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States, the State of California, against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

So help me God.

I first wrote of my oath here.

Video of the foundational purpose of Oathkeepers:

Video of Sheriff Richard Mack of Oathkeepers:

My sheriff speaks well but has no such courage. He is not a Drawer Of Lines. He is too interested in cooperative efforts and political ascension and correctness — as are the bulk of police and sheriff agencies across this nation. And that bespeaks volumes.

Who will step up?

Will your Admiral or General or Commander or Sheriff or Police Chief step up?

Who will step up?

Or does it simply get down to you?

You.

The most feared portion of the equation: the individual warrior.

Fellow soldiers, fellow peace officers, are you with me? Do you dare?

If not you, then whom? If not now, then when?

Angels & Horsemen

Posted on by

This is a wonderful video that I first found on Old NFO’s blog, and who showed me how to make it work. Not only a tribute to our WWII warriors, it is a tribute to the current Blue Angels and our US military in general.

In the course of your day, please take a moment or two to think about our American warriors, the sacrifices they’ve made on behalf of each and every US citizen in terms of your ability to, for example, read this blog, take your children to school, and operate in the free environment we currently enjoy.

“The Pacific”

Posted on by


The HBO miniseries “The Pacific” began two weeks ago on March 14th. A new episode is on tonight.

Two episodes have been shown. As expected, it is well-researched, exquisitely-shot and -acted. You must watch this series.

I found this link for educators here, as a PDF file. An excellent reference for those interested in continuing information on the series.

Again, I recommend the following three linked books for additional insight into The Pacific:

– The Pacific, by Hugh Ambrose (son of Stephen Ambrose!)
– Helmet For My Pillow, by Robert Leckie
– With The Old Breed, by Eugene Sledge

In order to complete their study on WWII, I would heartily recommend that Hanks and Spielberg focus their attention on two more final areas: the 8th Air Force and the US Navy in the Atlantic and Pacific.

Wouldn’t that be a marvelous final tribute to our Greatest Generation?

Mexico: Rife With Dangerous and Uncivilized Barbarians

Posted on by


If you were holed up in a cave a little while ago, perhaps assuming the fetal position in anticipation of the wonders of ObakaKare, you might have missed the fact that there were over 60 drug-related murders in Mexico very recently — two of them being Americans — and in the span of just one weekend.

In fact, in the past three years there have been more than 18,000 murders resulting just from drug violence in Mexico.

People complain about the casualties in Iraq; Mexico is more dangerous than Iraq. More journalists have been killed in Mexico than Iraq. Some have already quantified Mexico as a larger security threat to the United States than Iraq.

Mexicans also pay religious homage to the Saint Death cult figure, who is worshiped by thieves, drug-runners and some “law abiding” households. They say their “faith is being persecuted by the government’s war on drug cartels.” Numerous roadside shrines exist everywhere.

In the meantime, March 12th, from San Antonio News:

BROWNSVILLE — The Zapata County sheriff Thursday was questioning why a Mexican military helicopter was hovering over homes on the Texas side of the Rio Grande.

It was one of the more jarring incidents of the fourth week of border tensions sparked by drug killings, and rumors of such killings, in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.

Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez said he’d reviewed photos of the chopper flown by armed personnel Tuesday over a residential area known as Falcon Heights-Falcon Village near the binational Falcon Lake, just south of the Starr-Zapata county line. He said the helicopter appeared to have the insignia of the Mexican navy.

“It’s always been said that the Mexican military does in fact … that there have been incursions,” Gonzalez said. “But this is not New Mexico or Arizona. Here we’ve got a river; there’s a boundary line. And then of course having Falcon Lake, Falcon Dam, it’s a lot wider. It’s not just a trickle of a river, it’s an actual dam. You know where the boundary’s at.”

The sighting came amid ongoing fighting between the Gulf Cartel and its former enforcers, Los Zetas. The mounting death toll and crisis of fear in cities across from the Texas border have drawn global attention, as has a news blackout in affected cities due to the kidnappings of eight Mexican journalists, at least one of whom was killed.

As violence continued Thursday with a highway shootout in Tamaulipas, a Senate subcommittee in Washington heard testimony that drug cartels are trying to infiltrate U.S. agencies along the border, with corruption cases among Homeland Security personnel on the rise.

This is a wide-open country, essentially run by drug cartels. Period.

Any American traveling to Mexico for a so-called “spring break” is an idiot.

Any American traveling to Mexico on a cruise line and actually stepping off-ship is an idiot.

Mexico is out of control.

And whilst these things manifest, Mr Obaka believes it’s in our best interest to grant amnesty to those illiterates who have already caused an entire nation directly south of us to crash and burn.

Why? One word: votes. Period. A CIS study indicates so. PDF here.

And let’s look at the facts as well. The American media and government would have you believe that Conservatives are the only ones proffering a “hard line” on legal immigration. Clearly, because they’re simply racist — ?

Then what would explain a CIS (Center for Immigration Studies) finding which indicates in part:

– In contrast to the leadership of many ethnic advocacy groups, most members of minority groups think immigration is too high.
Hispanics: 56 percent said it is too high; 7 percent said too low; 14 percent just right.

Asian-Americans: 57 percent said immigration is too high; 5 percent said too low; 18 percent just right.

African-Americans: 68 percent said it is too high; 4 percent said too low; 14 percent just right.

– Most members of minority groups do not feel that illegal immigration is caused by limits on legal immigration as many ethnic advocacy groups argue; instead, members feel it’s due to a lack of enforcement.

Hispanics: Just 20 percent said illegal immigration was caused by not letting in enough legal immigrants; 61 percent said inadequate enforcement.

Asian-Americans: 19 percent said not enough legal immigration; 69 percent said inadequate enforcement.

African-Americans: 16 percent said not enough legal immigration; 70 percent said inadequate enforcement.

– Most members of minority groups feel that there are plenty of Americans available to fill unskilled jobs.

Hispanics: 15 percent said legal immigration should be increased to fill unskilled jobs; 65 percent said there are plenty of Americans available to do unskilled jobs, employers just need to pay more.

Asian-Americans: 19 percent said increase immigration; 65 percent said plenty of Americans are available.

African-Americans: 6 percent said increase immigration; 81 percent said plenty of Americans are available.

– When asked to choose between enforcement that would cause illegal immigrants in the country to go home or offering them a pathway to citizenship with conditions, most members of minority groups choose enforcement.

Hispanics: 52 percent support enforcement to encourage illegals to go home; 34 percent support conditional legalization.

Asian-Americans: 57 percent support enforcement; 29 percent support conditional legalization.

African-Americans: 50 percent support enforcement; 30 percent support conditional legalization.

Full PDF file from CIS on the topic is here.

The CIS concludes:

Republicans are right to want to attract Latino voters. They are indisputably a growing share of the population and the electorate. But expanding the future flow of low-skilled immigrants into an economy ill-suited to promote their upward mobility will clearly be counterproductive given the evidence presented here. At the same time, Republican opposition to higher immigration levels can be too easily typecast as racist and xenophobic. This is because the party’s elites have failed to deliver a clear message that they want a pro-immigrant policy of reduced immigration and that these two goals are complementary. Such a policy would also prove to be the best means for moving immigrants toward the middle and upper income status that will promote their geographic and political mobility.

You grant amnesty to Mexicans, and you import Mexico into the United States.

If you want complete chaos in our nation, you simply continue on this track.

Remember: Mr Obaka is completely willing to sacrifice the safety of you, your family, your neighborhood. All for the sake of VOTES.

Threats & Violence?

Posted on by

The MSM/DEM are up in a fever about the threats and voicemails made to various politicians following this past Sunday’s adoption, via the House, of the first form of ObakaKare.

As I wrote on cj’s blog, An Angry American, with regard to these threats: “First: I’m sure Mr Stupak doesn’t kill puppies in his back yard. A decent man — probably. But there is a clash of philosophy present and there are so many bills for errors in the past about to come due.

It is clear, now, that there is NO such thing as a Blue Dog Demorat or a “conservative” Demorat. Zell Miller is long gone.

No, I do not condone death threats and the like; and yes, I believe it diminishes the message Conservatives are attempting to make.

But I understand, to a degree, their source. It’s anger. And frustration. And that leads to people just plain being scared.

People are starting to become scared.”

As Greybeard pointed out a moment later: “the Democrat party platform supports the killing of babies.” Plain enough. Stupak, for example, purported to be pro-life then sold his vote for $700,000 worth of grants for his airports and an Executive Order which isn’t worth much of what it’s printed on, and can be reversed quite handily.

You can yell at your representatives, call them Bad Names. That’s legal in this country. What you cannot or should not do is threaten them with death, conduct vandalism. There are legitimate options. The first option is at the ballot box.

We all know one thing in this country: silence is tacit consent. And we cannot be silenced, we shall not lose our voice. But we diminish our superior position when we threaten lawmakers with death. Let us not forget that ObakaKare is not quite etched into stone. And let us not forget that there are elections coming in November of this year. On that we must focus and focus hard.

The Demorats will be ultimately responsible, at this point, for the future of our country. They need to listen: The People are starting to get frightened. You are pushing too hard, too fast, and your sense of direction is way off.

That being said, I make some final points:

1. Isn’t it funny how so few people made anything of this video in which SIEU punks assaulted legitimate TEA Partiers. Conveniently forgotten and banished by the DEM/MSM.

2. Isn’t it funny how so few people made anything of this video in which Black Panther gangsters patrolled local voting areas carrying clubs and concealed weapons. Conveniently forgotten and banished by the DEM/MSM.
3. We’ve completely forgotten how G-20 protests in Pittsburgh last September resulted in 66 arrests, 5 people requiring medical attention and 19 businesses damaged.

4. Was the N-Word truly bantered about last Sunday? You tell me. Even if so, you know what “side” the verbose person was on because. . . ? Again, if so, one person represents an entire movement? The Washington Post thinks not, in the case of killer Hasan from Ft Hood: “Hasan’s actions seems to have had much to do with his personal religious beliefs, but we cannot indict an entire faith for the distorted and disturbed thoughts and actions of one individual.”

5. Was a person actually arrested for spitting on a legislator? Capitol Police say: no. I suspect if the evidence existed that person would be sitting under a DC jail at this point.

6. And apparently the violence isn’t just against Demorats. Ask Eric Cantor.

But now — because you are threatened and not just the “groundlings,” it’s personal? Has anyone ever heard of people like this?

I don’t condone thuggish behavior; but Demorats, did you think there would be no price whatsoever to pay for your own actions the moment you cast a vote for ObakaKare this past weekend? When you begin to frighten the people, to indicate you hold little regard for the formative and foundational documents of this nation — you not only make a vast number of clear thinking people nervous, you begin to back them into a corner.

I say once again and, Demorats, you’d best be reading and listening: you are ultimately responsible for not only your own personal health and welfare, but that of an entire nation. Are you beginning to understand the very serious material between these lines?
