Scott County's Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle

Our federal government has been taken over by globalist bankers. Our federal government no longer represents the interests of Americans. Elections cannot solve these problems as they are rigged. They have poisoned our air, food, water, medicine, education, media, economy, and culture. I will not belabor these facts. If you don’t already know this, you soon will.

I take these assaults very personally, as you should. As the criminals in our federal government employ you to assist them in our destruction, I must extend an olive branch before it is too late.

The Obama administration has purged the military of any constitutional generals and is now training the military to fight the American citizens. They are militarizing, federalizing, and now globalizing you – the local police – to assist.

Absurdly, Army manuals written by the anti-freedom Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League, the 2009 MIAC Report, and Homeland Security identify Christians, pro-lifers, libertarians, gun owners, patriots, and returning veterans – by any definition and common sense, the most law-abiding – as potential domestic terrorists. Simultaneously they are training our military and encouraging you – our police – to engage in real acts of terrorism against these groups.

On December 31, 2011, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was quietly passed by criminals on both sides of the aisle against the will of We the People and our Constitution. It authorizes our military to kidnap American citizens on American soil who are suspected of a “belligerent act.” These suspects may be renditioned to an undisclosed location without a warrant and detained indefinitely without a trial and without being charged or convicted of any crime.

Our military has recently conducted urban, asymmetrical warfare drills in L.A., Boston, St. Louis, and Fort Lauderdale. A small American city has been built at Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia and Camp Lejeune for troops to practice domestic warfare. Operation Jade Helm 15 was recently conducted on the streets of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado. These drills simulated infiltrating American cities and extracting American patriots – precisely what the NDAA authorizes. The mainstream media dutifully ignored it.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has purchased at least 2.1-billion rounds of hollow-point ammunition. This ammo is too expensive to use for target practice as they claim, and their use in war is a violation of the Hague Peace Conference of 1899 and 1907. This is roughly five bullets for every American.

As if that weren’t disturbing enough, on January 15, HR 378 was introduced in the House of Representatives and assigned to a congressional committee. HR 378 is a “ban on purchase, ownership, or possession of enhanced body armor by civilians.” It applies to “enhanced” or “Type III” body armor specifically designed to protect against the exact ammunition now being hoarded by DHS.

As our captured federal government destroys our culture and economy, they fully expect the moral and decent to resist. They try to convince you that this resistance is terrorism and give you the tools to crush us.

The Law Enforcement Support Office (LESO) under the 1033 Program authorized in the NDAA has provided at least 600 (and as many as 13,000 – it’s a secret) Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles free of charge to large- and small-town law-enforcement agencies all over the country, including the one given to the Scott County sheriff’s department. LESO’s slogan is “transferring property from the warfighter to the crimefighter.” The Rock Island County sheriff’s department and the Bettendorf Police Department both have bullet-proof, armored BearCat vehicles. In 1787, founding father James Madison warned that “a standing military force, with an overgrown Executive, will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defence against foreign danger have been always the instruments of tyranny at home.”

As our God-given, constitutionally guaranteed rights are perverted into government-granted privileges, we often resent the puppets, not the masters. We citizens invented you police to protect us. Now you are one of our greatest fears. This is all by design. As you are told that the good guys are a threat, you violate our rights. Of course we don’t like it. This is a self-fulfilling prophecy. We must not be fooled by those who would have us pitted against each other.

It is not you against us. It needs to be law enforcement and the law-abiding against the lawless intrusion of our federal government. It is We the People against those who are pitting us against each other. A patriot is no threat to fellow patriots. By definition, a patriot is a threat to a tyrant. Officer, you must choose a side. Are you a patriot or a tool of tyranny?

The county sheriff is uniquely qualified and specifically bound to protect his citizens from these tyrants. A January 2014 resolution of the Constitutional Sheriffs & Peace Officers Association maintains a list of “abuses” that “will not be allowed or tolerated,” referring specifically to “actions by the federal government and its agents.” In reference to this list, it further states that “there is no greater obligation or responsibility of any government officer than to protect the rights of the people. Thus, any conduct contrary to the United States Constitution, Declaration of Independence, or the Bill of Rights will be dealt with” by signees of the resolution – county sheriffs – “as criminal activity.”

Officer, I am no threat to you. When you are asked to disarm me or kill me, will you? You took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, not our criminal government.
