Giwer, debate 6-1994

I think you can read better than that.

KS> Hmmm… I think I’ve seen this message before… And I
KS> think I’ve already responded to it… However – my
KS> response was to his remarks comparing this incident to one
KS> of a surgeon having left extra materials in a patient and
KS> that fact not being discovered for years.

Perhaps, let me answer it again. The story connecting her
to Clinton was published in November 1993. As the story was told
it left the impression she in fact did take a tumble with Billie
Jeff. The identification was by first name, hotel and date.

It appears reasonable that she kept quiet until there was
such a connection. It was only after that she tried to get her
side of the story told to clear her name to her friends and one
time co-workers.

I first heard of her story in an article saying she had been
turned down by several large newspapers. It appears she did move
expeditiously. In this case we have a law suit filed in barely
six months of a reasonable cause for taking action. That is not
an unusual length of time.

KS> MG> He is going to need it. Using the state troopers in
KS> MG> this matter is both a federal and a state crime. The boy is
KS> MG> going to jail if he can’t beat this one.

KS> And is this matter not also a federal and a state crime for
KS> the state trooper(s) involved?

Exactly the point. There is no problem with his getting
laid. The problem is involving the troopers.

Subject: Smoking addiction

PS> MG> If it were addictive why are smoke filled rooms exactly what
PS> MG>they are complaining about? The claims of addiction and second
PS> MG>hand smoke are mutually exclusive.

PS> What in hell are you talking about? There’s nothing
PS> mutually exclusive about these two terms. I consider them
PS> synonymous.

It appears to me they are not subjected to enough of “the
most addictive substance known” to become addicted. It then
becomes very difficult to they can make a case they have enough
exposure to be harmed in some manner.

It is consistent with the EPA evidence (not their fraudulent
analysis, the data) which shows no harm.

PS> MG>Nicotine in the blood stream causes
PS> PS> physiological changes to the structure of brain cells. It
PS> PS> seems likely that the same is true of side-stream smoke to
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PS> PS> some lesser extent. I maintain that children of smokers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PS> PS> are three times more likely to smoke (fact) because they
~~~~~~~
PS> PS> are already addicted to nicotine (though I know of no
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PS> PS> studies to support this assertion.)

PS> MG> And as you know of no such study it is solely a product
PS> MG> of your fever imagination with no basis in reality and thus
PS> MG> you have no basis for your belief. Why you would bother
PS> MG> believing that I have no idea.

PS> For those of you who would like more information on this
PS> issue, I refer you to Stanton A. Glantz’s booklet
PS> TOBACCO:BIOLOGY & POLITICS, Health EDCO, Waco, TX, 1992.
PS> Pages 8 through 11 give a detailed explanation of tobacco
PS> addiction. Let me quote:

PS> “To summarize, nicotine affects the brain, which then
PS> develops a tolerance to the drug through a change in
PS> brain chemistry. The absence of nicotine leads to
PS> withdrawal symptoms that lead the addict to use enough
PS> nicotine to boost blood levels back to the target
PS> level. Smoking (or other forms of tobacco use) is thus
PS> a highly controlled SELF-ADMINISTRATION OF A DRUG (my
PS> emphasis).”

Now that you have taken the time to post this would you now
go back and underscore the words referring to a study of the
addiction to side stream smoke? I can’t seem to find them.

AQ> MG> Just where did you learn all of that crap? Please be

AQ> MG> particular I would like to know the source of your knowledge
AQ> MG> of the martyr intentions and would you please post the
AQ> MG> number of the psychic who told you?

AQ> From interviews and footage of some of the Koresh sermons
AQ> etc.

Strangely I have seen some of them and got no such
impression. Certainly is was never specific. Perhaps you could
quote him?

If it was a legitimate religion then why did they have
AQ> to be arme at all and why could they not abide by the law
AQ> of the land eq the child welfare laws etc.

The state of Texas found after two investigations no
violations of those laws. The children who were released by
Koresh were also examined. There was no evidence found.
Therefore it is only your fevered imagination that holds there
was any violation of the any child welfare laws.

Which means you are making it up.

If you are curious about their having guns, they were in the
business. They personally owned fewer guns on average than the
average Texan. Are you suggesting Baptists do not constitute a
legitimate religion?

Nobody has the
AQ> right to break the law just because they don’t agree with
AQ> them. Our prisons are full of people like that.

So far as anyone can determine there were no laws broken
to precipitate the attack. Your only issue appears to be your
fantasy about violations of the child welfare laws. In case no
one ever told you, the BATF has no jurisdiction. Now why did
they attack — other than the flimsy basis found in their
perjured warrant.

AQ> MG> We have already dealt with the fire power lie.

AQ> I don’t think we have dealt with the firepower yet. Can you
AQ> tell me why they needed all the weopons they had if they
AQ> wern’t going to use them?

You already know they were gun dealers and made money at
Texas gun shows.

Don’t get me wrong, there is no
AQ> excuse for what the BATF did, but as far as I was concerned
AQ> they were still lawbreakers as I don’t believe that freedom
AQ> of religion allows a person to break the law, it just
AQ> allows them to practice the religion of their choice.

You have yet to name a law they broke.

They can not do so for any action taken while in office.
That is only correct because of a law exempting the president. A
new law may be passed but this case stands by the very wording of
the law protecting while in office. If Congress had intended to
do it it could have easily said “before and while in” office.
They did not.

AQ> I have considered that if they had of knocked on the front

Why do you doubt there would have been a difference? Is not
the difference between a knock on the door and going in throwing
grenades and firing guns big enough for you to consider the
outcome would have been different? What would have been the
possible pretext for shooting to have started if the government
had not started it?

I meant there is no way that I will ever condone what
AQ> the BATF did but that doesn’t mean that Koresh and his
AQ> followers would have wanted to end it any other way.

Koresh was the one begging for a cease fire while the BATF
refused him. I would suggest it was the BATF that had a
particular outcome in mind.

I just
AQ> can’t for the life of me figure out why anybody that
AQ> proffesses love for God would want all of that firepower.

Over half of it was in preparation for a gun show in Austin
two weeks after the attack. And perhaps, while you are at it,
what possible business JC & Co. had with all those swords.

From the claims of the BATF and from events it is obvious he
was a prophet. The BATF even documented one of his successful
prophecies in their warrant. In one of his recorded phone
conversations he claims to have known the government was going to
come for him, and they did, and there is no way he could have
forced the government to come after him.

From the available evidence it appears his status as a
prophet put him in a better position than most to interpret it.

From: [email protected] (SCOTT WEIS)

The following essay is written by Massad Ayoob, the ranking sensei of
the defensive pistol. Mr. Ayoob is not only the leading instructor and
instructor trainer in handguns, he is also heavily in demand as an
expert witness in lawsuits involving the use of lethal force, as well as
being a sworn police officer for almost 20 years. Ayoob runs his
defensive firearms academy, Lethal Force Institute, in Grantham, New
Hampshire. This essay was printed in the June, 1994 issue of Guns
Magazine.

Start essay:

I have been an activist for firearms rights all my adult life. However,
only now have I begun to feel like a Jew in the Warsaw Ghetto. Only now
have all of us American gun owners lived under a regime that has made it
clear that it would rather our kind did not exist, and which has
publicly dedicated itself to reducing our numbers.

Let us, for a moment, set aside the Second Amendment. In the time of
political correctness, we need to address politically correct issues
before we talk about the fundamental cornerstones of freedom guaranteed
by our Constitution.

Do not speak to me of James Madison. Speak to me of defamation. There
are Americans alive who can remember the Jim Crow years, when
African-Americans were stereotyped in cartoons as baboons or Stepin
Fetchit characters. There was a time when Jews were portrayed as
hook-nosed, snaggle-toothed avatars of soulless greed. Until very
recently, national newspapers and magazines ran cartoons that depicted
Arabs with vulpine features.

Except for racist hate literature, that sort of thing is gone from the
mainstream media of 1994. Well, almost gone.

Caught some anti-gun political cartoons lately? The gun owners and gun
dealers will be depicted as physically unattractive, dirty, unkempt, and
possibly keeping company with drug dealers. Mario Cuomo, spoken of as a
potential Clinton appointee to the Supreme Court, has described hunters
as drunken slobs who lie to their wives about their whereabouts over the
weekend. Cuomo s implicit caricature of us is a graphic example of how
we are seen by the in crowd that currently occupies the White House
campus.

We who own guns for personal and family protection are targets of
opportunity for this sort of slander and libel. We have no anti-
defamation league of our own. Shall we go to the American Civil
Liberties Union for help? We shall receive there as much succor as the
victims of the pogroms would have received from the Hitler Youth. In
both cases, the victims were not politically correct, and in both
cases, the organization in question would never have spoken against its
own candidate.

Do not speak to me of Thomas Jefferson. Speak to me of civil rights.
President Clinton has spoken enthusiastically of the proposals by the
politically opportunistic mayors of our two largest cities to limit
handgun ownership with a scheme of needs-based licensing.

History shows where they come from . We ve seen it in their cities in
the issuance of permits to carry concealed handguns. In the Los
Angeles of Mayor Riordan or the New York of Mayor Guiliani,
needs-based licensing has meant and still means, this: If you are a
Eurocentric white male with a lot of money, and preferably have
contributed money to the party in power, you have a need and we ll
consider giving you a license.

When that is applied to mere ownership o handguns, I think we all
know where it is going. The Clinton-approved concept of needs-based
licensing for ownership discriminates against citizens, black, brown,
red and yellow. It discriminates against the old, with their traditionally
fixed incomes, and against the sick and the crippled who need a defense
gun most, but are most likely to be burdened by the sort of medical
debt that the First Lady has so often decried.

Although those who would make the gun owners of America as extinct
in America as German Jews in 1944 Berlin would paint themselves as
the champions of the poor and the oppressed and the people of color,
the fact is in this nation that the yoke of poverty has fallen most heavily
on just those citizens. It is they who are most likely to be trapped in
the pockets of poverty that the call the inner city, the places where
crime breeds. It is they who are most likely to be preyed upon by
criminals. It is they who most need the wherewithal to defend
themselves.

It is they who, cruelly and ironically, will be hardest-hit by the

enormous guns and ammunition taxes proposed by the Clinton
administration and its supporters, taxes that would make the tools of
self defense prohibitively expensive for all but the rich and secure.
These proposed laws impact most brutally, sometimes with life or death
consequences, upon the poor, upon the victims of politically incorrect,
but nonetheless very real, discrimination.

Don t speak to me of the Minutemen at Concord and Lexington. Speak
to me of sexism. Who among today s electorate does not remember
the horror of the young woman ravaged by the wilders in Central
Park? Would Mace or a rape whistle have worked for her? Can any
mother of any daughter, no matter what her political beliefs, examine
the scenario and not wish that, if the daughter in question was hers, she
would have in hand a high-capacity semiautomatic pistol she knew how
to use?

The gun isn t know as the equalizer for nothing. Nothing less will
balance the lethal disparity of force that the predatory male, alone or
in packs, can exert at will over the lone female. How great would be
the hypocrisy of politically active women who worked to keep that life-
saving power away from their sisters and their daughters?

Don t tell me about the Second Amendment. Tell me about the Fourth.
The one that supposedly preserves us from unlawful search and seizure.
The administration speaks of banning assault rifles. Where the toe
has been dipped in those waters–New York City, and the New Jersey
of the same former Governor Florio who, insiders say, the President
wants to appoint as a gun czar –the five year-old model of Great
Britain has been followed. Expensive firearms are banned, citizens are
paid a few cents on the dollar for turning them into the government, or
nothing at all if they destroy their property.

Understand the horror! For the first time in this nation s history, we
are talking about the confiscation of private property, lawfully
purchased and responsibly owned, without fair market value
compensation under the eminent domain principle!

Eminent domain says that if the Government determines that to
preserve the public good it must take your property, it must at least pay
current fair price to you before doing so. Considering how many guns-
-some with more than a century of service in hunting fields and the
target ranges– are involved, and how high the current readily-salable
retail has gone for AUGs and AR-15s and the like. The Government
would have to spend many billions of dollars to compensate under the
eminent domain principle. Billions that would save far more lives if
devoted to medical research or housing the homeless, or drug
interdiction, or feeding the hungry, or…

Finally, at the end, do speak to me of the Second Amendment. Tell
me why this alone, amongst every other precious standard of individual
liberty in the entire Bill of Rights, should apply to auxiliary soldiers
when the rest speak to citizens one by one?

Don t be so blatantly stupid as to tell anyone who passed elementary
school American History that the Second Amendment was about the
National Guard. In the time of American Revolution, the national
guard would have been Tories loyal to King George. I do not think
that Madison and company felt a need to keep them armed.

The fight for the next three years goes to the heart of your freedom,
and that of you children and grandchildren. It will not be fought with
guns and bullets. It will only be about them.

It will be fought with political activism and common sense. It will be
fought by reaching out to new allies, by forging coalitions of those who
have already learned the hard way the truth that those who ignore
history are doomed to repeat it.

The Old Regulation Gambit
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <6/4>

Some decades ago an amendment to the Constitution was
necessary to permit the US government to prohibit alcohol. Yet
today the federal government can prohibit most anything it wants
to the same level of alcohol without the trivial necessity of
complying with the Constitution. Did you ever wonder why?
It is a trivial matter. It all hinges upon one word. The
substitution of “regulate” for “prohibit” even though there is no
substantive difference.
The Federal Government has always has the power to levy
duties upon imported items. That is in the Constitution. It is
new that the federal government has asserted the power to
prohibit the importation of anything. Where did this power come
from? Regulation of course.
Let me ask you this. What is the difference between banning
something and regulating it to the point where there is no
difference from banning it? There is a simple answer, 3/4 of the
states are required to ban something. A simple majority in
Congress is all that is required to regulate something to the
same status as a ban.
Am I the only one finding something wrong with this? I find
no place in the Constitution giving federal government the power
to use regulation in place of a power it was not delegated.
I do find one thing in the Constitution. A power to
regulate interstate commerce. I find one other thing in Supreme
Court findings — that anything any place in any state is
properly regulated as interstate commerce.
It is not my intention to argue the ineffabilities of
Supreme Court decisions. It is my intent to argue, regardless of
the decision, it is completely unacceptable and not to be
tolerated.
Look at what this permits. The federal government no longer
needs to comply with the Constitution. All it has to do is
declare anything is to be regulated rather than be banned. It
need not find a delegated power within to Constitution to FORCE
something to be done, it need only declare there is a need to
regulate it.
Is the federal granted the power to control highway
standards? Of course not. Has it declared it has the power to
regulate highway standards? Most certainly. Where did it get
this power? One Supreme Court decision.
Can Congress claim control over your life? Of course not.
But is has the power to regulate your life. The federal
government can regulate your choice of cars, your choice of
entertainment, your choice of housing, your choice of clothing.
If your self employed or an employer you know you are
regulated to the point of controlled by the federal government.
If you are an employee you are probably not aware of your
potential income without government regulation.
Regulation vice banned applies it the ban of guns that are
falsely called assault weapons which are banned but it is legally
called regulation. It is bad enough the law declares it has the
right to declare anything it wishes an assault weapon. It is
worse that it declares the right to declare regulation is not a
ban.
In the days of prohibition even Eliot Ness should not have
been able to buy a drink. In these days of regulation it is
possible to exempt person or group the regulators choose. It is
possible to ban anything the regulators choose while not having
to admit it is a ban.
The federal government can quite clearly exceed any
imaginable delegated power simply by declaring it a matter of
regulation. Does Congress want water fountains of a certain
height? Regulate it. Think that is funny? Toilet seat heights
are now regulated for the handicapped even though it prevent many
handicapped from using them.
More importantly the Congress can regulate things like
banking and intrastate commerce for states like New York and
Nebraska and declare the regulation being exactly the same. Thus
a state where investments are in developed property must be the
same as the rules for farm land. We have three choices here,
regulation favors New York, it favors Nebraska or it equally
harms both.
Make up a list of what you truly and without sarcasm believe
the federal government is good at and what is bad at. Compare
that list to the federal Constitution. You will will find the
good column consists of the delegated powers and the bad column
is the regulated powers.
Is the federal Government good at providing for the common
defense? That is in the Constitution. Is the federal government
good at regulating drugs? That is not in the Constitution.
Consider carefully what is an intelligently exercisable
power of the federal government and what happens when regulation
is substituted for a power.
Unbridled regulation has been a disaster. Delegated powers
have worked.
Support your 10th amendment. It may the be last chance we
have to avoid revolution.

Demonstration Regulation
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <6/4>

Abortion demonstrations got out of hand. Something had to
be done. We now have specific laws governing abortion protests.
It was done in a good cause.
Of course there was harassment. There were bombings.
There were even two murders. That would certainly appear to
justify the special laws.
Unless we consider it has been rather tame compared to
unions while on strike. Not much different from the Vietnam
or civil rights protests either.
Even though demonstrations are protected by the 1st
amendment as a matter of free speech it is reasonable to
have some minimal regulation simply to assure peace and
orderliness. For example, if people wish to speak in public
parks it is reasonable to ban loudspeakers. It is not reasonable
to ban loudspeakers only for particular subjects. That we call
censorship.
With demonstrations it is reasonable to provide regulations
that assure public access is not blocked save upon a specific
permit being granted such as to hold a parade or to for such a
large crowd in a park as to deny access to normal public use.
What is not reasonable is to apply unique requirements to
demonstrations based solely upon what is being protested. Thus
there is a large number of people, perhaps a majority, who are in
favor these unconstitutional laws because they are in a good
cause.
I have written many times of the loss of rights in a good
cause. Here is a clear and present good cause and loss of
rights. Which side do you fall on?
Rather I ask which good cause will approve of next time to
limit our right of free speech? If these laws pass
Constitutional muster or even if they are simply allowed to stand
then we have taken another step toward the end of the right of
free speech.
These steps have been coming slowly after decades of
establishing it completely. It was effectively won against
censorship of pornography when the omnipotent “for the children”
argument was raised and there are dozens of draconian state and
federal laws prohibiting it. Regulating, vice prohibiting, all
pornography has been argued and that form of regulation lost.
Now we have accepted strict censorship by type rather than by
nature.
These are two steps to clear and offensive censorship,
limitations upon the freedom of speech by subject matter. The
more often it is accept the easier it is to accept the next.
Watch for more to come.

far as it goes it appears to be a factual recounting of what they
were told. If I remember the story correctly it did not include
any description by the trooper of her statements upon leaving
the room. Therefore the magazine not only did nothing wrong but
made the customary protection of privacy by using the first name
only.

The only out for the Clinton and the trooper is to show they
actually did take a tumble which appears to be the substance of
the case.

KS> MG> I first heard of her story in an article saying she had

KS> MG> she did move expeditiously. In this case we have a law suit
KS> MG> filed in barely six months of a reasonable cause for taking
KS> MG> action. That is not an unusual length of time.

KS> She waited 3 years to decide she’d been sexually harrassed
KS> by her boss. She’s not suing anybody responsible for any
KS> damned journal article.

She was willing to let is pass for three years until her
reputation was involved. It seems like the adult thing to do.

KS> MG> Exactly the point. There is no problem with his getting
KS> >laid. The problem is involving the troopers.

KS> Nor, apparently, was there any problem with him wagging his
KS> wang in her face – at least not until recently.

Maybe it took her this long to stop laughing at the size.

Consider some other factors.

She was not married at the time of the incident. We can not
say her marriage is old enough to necessarily withstand knowing
she had been laid by the president. That can be a consideration.

The suggestion is that is only for the money. The money
would come in two forms, the judgement itself and the tabloids.
The judgement amount would be the same as president or governor.
The only difference is the tabloid money.

The tabloid money would have been the same on election day
as it was the day she announced an intention to sue over a year
after the election. As we have a year between the election and
the story where she said not one word I am left with the
conclusion that the story was the proximate cause of the lawsuit.

Affordable Justice
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <6/5>

[Nothing in the lead in examples have not happened.]
You are driving down the road and you are stopped by the
police. They imply if you do not give up your right to privacy
and permit a search of your car that you will be arrested, when
you have the right to drive away and give them the finger as you
do so.
So you let them search the car. They find in your briefcase
more money than they think you should be carrying, in this case
$9,000. They take your money and your car and tell you to take a
hike. You never hear from them again nor are you ever charged.
You ask for your money back and you are to go to hell.
You rented a house to strangers and they were caught dealing
drugs. Your house was confiscated but no charges were ever
placed against the renters. When you ask for it back you are
told to go to hell.
Your child is dying of cancer and to keep from starving to
death because of the chemotherapy induced nausea he grows
marijuana in the backyard. You house is confiscated. He is
never charged. When you receive the eviction notice you complain
and are told to go to hell.
Your venue of justice is the courts. Your property (by a
deliberate and willful part of the law) has already been tried
and found guilty. You must prove your property was innocent.
Given the cost of suits in law and our lack of universal legal
care is beyond the means of most people. In fact it is beyond
the value of the property legally stolen in most cases.
This is a Catch-22+1. Are you insane enough to spend more
than the property is worth to recover the property?
If you are not insane and wish to achieve justice what are
your options. If you have lost a house or money you can hardly
steal it back as it was stolen from you. If it involves a car if
you steal it back they will track you down and put you in prison
in your search for justice.
As reality in the case of money and houses prohibits justice
and as the law punishes justice in the case of a car we are left
with simple vengeance. Is vengeance justified?
The law is not license to violate human right regardless of
the authority of the law. A person exercising the authority of
the law has no more justification in doing so than saying he was
only following orders. The devil made me do it and the law said
I could do it are identical statements.
Thus in the absence of justice, vengeance is morally
acceptable. Everyone from the law-makers down to the exercising
officer are equally open to vengeance for the immoral theft of
property. The only question is the moral limits of vengeance as
related to the harm caused by following orders.
As the consequences of the actions are what is being avenged
the excuse of not knowing the consequences is not a mitigating
factor. Should a person suffer $9000 worth of harm due to the
action he certainly had the moral right, not the obligation, to
inflict at least that much loss upon everyone in the chain that
permitted the harm to happen. If a car was lost then everyone in
the chain must lose a car of equal value. If a house was lost
then everyone in the chain must suffer the loss of a house.
The pursuit of justice in these cases has been relegated to
either insane or impossible. To ask a person to accept the law
as written is like asking a Jew to accept Nazi law as written.
These laws violate the very foundations of the concept of justice
for social beings.
Vengeance is not a simple matter these days. Centuries ago
it was a family matter. There were no questions asked about the
family’s right to vengeance in any religion or creed. Today we do
not have such cohesive family units. We have become indeed the
ideal of the founders of this country.
Our duty is to our fellow American. When one is harmed, all
are harmed.
When there is a loss for lack of justice then all Americans
have the moral obligation to avenge that loss.
We have a moral obligation to inflict that loss on anyone
even remotely involved in that loss unless he has personally
disavowed the execution of that law. (And I note every oath of
office requires the execution of all laws.)
It is clear that Americans have the moral authority to
avenge unjust laws against everyone in the government and in
kind.
As to “in kind” we have the right to break into homes and
shoot to kill. This government has done it to us, our fellow
Americans. Forget Waco, look at Weaver, entrapment and kill his
family.
Unless and until the government disavows those actions and
brings the perpetrators to justice we are all morally sound in
avenging their deaths upon every government employee including
elected and appointed officials who have done nothing.
We are now at the point where if we do nothing it will get
worse. If we do nothing it can only get worse in a different
manner and we have the chance of it getting better through our
efforts.
That may require a few house and car bombing and a few dead
federal employees.
We only have moral authority when we are responding to
matters where justice is for all practical purposes impossible.
Unfortunately this criteria will be forgotten.

I do not see the relevance of your question. A judge has no
authority to make a personal determination on the matter. He can
only deal upon the law. As for the “pressing government
business” approach that should work twice, three times at most,
and that will result in a max three month delay.

The counter argument is that he is in charge of what is
pressing and what is not. It looks very hollow real fast unless
he starts a war.

If you take a serious look at his agenda you will find it is

constituent are not pressing government business. And, as I
said, if he finds at some point he can not give full time to his
job that IS the reason we have a VP.

Subject: A Peaceful Revolution

A Peaceful Means of Revolution

I have been asked several times how to avoid a violent
revolution. The obvious answer was to stop the government
sources of income but to continue its outlay of money. The
obvious means still required some level of violence.

A consideration of the sources of income of the government
and how to stop those led to the rediscovery of a method proposed
some 35 years ago for the same objective. I do not have the
writing style of Ayn Rand (many say I should be grateful for
that) but the book is Atlas Shrugged.

The method is to stop the wheels of the world.

The source of the government’s income is directly tied to
the condition of the economy. A nice, prolonged deliberate
recession is will drastically reduce the government’s income
while at the same time greatly increasing its expenses. And not
one life need be lost.

And if anyone thinks what I am going to propose is “too
hard” they have no idea how hard a violent revolution will be.
Everyone who has thought of revolution should be jumping at this
(or something like it) rather than be imagining a quick jaunt to
DC in September to get things over with.

What are your minimum requirements for living? Literally,
the minimum requirements. Adjust your income to no more than
that. That cuts off the taxes on your income. You are also
producing less so there is less economic activity. Every drop in
economic activity is a drop in revenues for the government.

Are you eligible for any form of government assistance
whatsoever? Forget your pride and apply for it. You will not be
lying, you have a low income now and are entitled to the
assistance. When that comes in, get a lower paying job and apply
for more assistance.

Can the government’s response be forced productivity? Can
they make you work at a more productive job? They can not
control your mind. The government is powerless against this form
of peaceful revolution.

The result will be a recession where the government will be
spending itself into bankruptcy faster than it is now. Consider
the government’s usual cure for a recession is to spend more
money. Great! Get in line for some of it. Then they will spend
more. Don’t lose your place in line.

You can’t do it to your family? But you were thinking of
going out and risking death weren’t you? You think that would be
a lesser impact? (Only you can answer that.)

Your children are college age? Perfect, the less you make
the more the government will pay for their educations. You
certainly don’t need that big house any more. Take your equity
and buy a smaller house outright. That reduces the banking
business and you are not creating income for a landlord to be
taxed.

Learn to cook your own food again. The fewer processing
steps involved the fewer people to tax.

You need medical care? Apply for Medicaid. Use the
emergency rooms. That is what they are there for.

Consider you don’t need a new car every few years. Public
transportation isn’t that bad and keeping a junker alive saves
you a lot of insurance money and reduces the economy. And never
forget that public transportation pays no taxes and runs at a
loss.

If people condemn you for doing this, remind them of the
opportunities you have given them by dropping out of the
competition for jobs. Let them step in and fill the void you
have left.

TR> Very good point.

And if they had intended to kill why did they not come out
and mop of the BATF and then call 911 with “a little problem” out
here?

The people were the classic “prepared for the worst and
hoping for the best” type. I can name a lot of people like that
and it has nothing to do with guns.

The one and only suggestion they might have been violent is
that one of the members was a mailman.

There is a more recent case from Arkansas. A hotdog got on
the scene first and shot the wrong person dead. He left the
building when the good guys showed up and they shot him.
Realizing the compound errors, they burned the building and
stonewalled the evidence that was obviously contradictory to the

was not suspected of a crime.

I do not know if you realize just how close the country is

About six weeks ago I received in the mail a Colorado Spruce

I do not think Florida will be kind to this tree but I

*********************************************************************
========================================================================
As someone involved in the telephone industry on the level of security
and data integrity… I would like to inform everyone that uses modems
and/or are bbs operators of some information.

The first thing that everyone that uses a modem should know is that
every time you fire up your modem your activating monitoring equipment
somewhere in the U.S. I have worked for several large telephone
networks that routinely monitor and reroute modem and fax transmissions
through devices that allow them to view what is being transmitted and
even decodes encrypted data and fax packets used by major corporations
and governmental agencies. This is allowed under the heading of
“Maintenance Monitoring” and may be continued for up to 6 months without
the need of any legal paperwork being generated. Under an obscure
pre-WWII ruling by the agency that is now the FCC… “No information may
be encoded or transmitted over PUBLIC or PRIVATE forms of telephony or
radio with the exception of those agencies involved in the National
Security” a further designation goes on to say “with the exception of
the MORSE system of ‘transmittal’, any communication that is not
interpretable by the human ear is forbidden and unlawful.” The
information gathered goes to 3 seperate database facilities…1 is
codenamed Diana and is located in Brussels, the 2nd is named Fredrick
and is located somewhere in Malaysia, the 3rd is named Elizabeth and is
located in Boulder, Colorado. The information stored in these systems
is accessable by the US Government, Interpol, Scotland Yard and various
other such agencies. Your credit rating is also affected by your modem
usage… if you ever get a copy of your credit history and find a
listing that has HN06443 <–= this is a negative risk rating. or a code
87AT4 <—= an even more negative risk rating…. these will usually
have no description on them… and if you inquire about them they will
tell you that it just comes from the system that way. I am currently
working for another major carrier as a consultant and have been able to
watch these systems operate…at one unnamed long distance carrier here
in Columbus Ohio in their NCC, Network Control Center, you can see
several rows of computer terminals which have approximately 30 to 40
separate windows in each… these windows have data transmissions that
are being monitored… banks of 9 track tapes are going constantly to
record everything. Everyone should realize that even if a sysop posts a
disclaimer at the beginning of his bbs about no access to governmental
agencies or law enforcement…that it isn’t worth the time it takes to
type it in… looking forward to hearing reactions to this.

Objectives of the Revolution
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <6/7>

Just what do we want out of this? We are calling for a
revolution. I have pointed out all we need to pledge are our
sacred lifestyles to get it bloodlessly.
What will be considered the capitulation of the the present
government?
First and foremost, NO representative of the people will in
any manner be considered superior to any other. No more
committee chairmen. No more seniority.
Second, the end of all political parties. They are the root
of the violation of our Constitution. I have pointed out Bush
ran upon fulfilling the obligations of the position of President.
Bill Clinton ran upon a party agenda.
Sorry. No place does it say we are voting for a party
agenda in my copy of the US Constitution.
Third, any and all organizations are prohibited from
lobbying any Congressman. We have more than enough
representatives at the local level to deal with them directly as
citizens. No group shall have the power to speak more loudly
than a citizen. Therefore, no groups, period.
Fourth, a Constitutional Amendment shall be submitted to the
states holding that the power to regulate interstate commerce
granted to Congress shall be strictly limited to that which
crosses state boundaries. It will not longer be permissible to
hold “affecting” such commerce is grounds for the passage of a
law.
Fifth, Congress shall present for ratification an amendment
holding its power to direct compliance shall be strictly limited
to prohibitions only. There shall no longer be directed
compliance in any action.
Sixth, Congress shall present for ratification an amendment
holding it may never withhold any funding based upon compliance
that is not directly related. While it will be possible to
withhold highway funds on condition of compliance with highway
specifications it will no longer be possible to withhold them
based upon the drinking age or seat belt laws.
Seventh, Congress shall pass legislation hold null and void
any and all prior legislation in violation of any of the above
six items. This shall not be by line item which would take years
but a broad determination of nullity.
This should do it. It is succinct as I can make it. If
anyone has an addition please let me know.
If people are willing to proceed with the economic shutdown
as I have outlined then when enough agree they are satisfied with
three out of six or five out of six the shutdown will end

Actually I have just found a source of the Bill of Rights
equivalent for all the 50 states’ constitutions. I can not
present this in a manner I would like unless some inspiration
strikes me. (It always does but I may not live long enough.)

What I have seen from a quick sample of the original 13
through the median to the last two I find no substantive
difference. (I will be working to demonstrate that point to the
skeptics.)

I hit maybe 12 states in my reading. They were all equal to
or stronger in their statement of the protections of rights than
the federal constitution. The wording varies a little even when
it adds no more protections. This applies to EVERY item I could
identify in the exercise.

Granted I was not exhaustive. However I believe I sampled
everything of interest WITHOUT the deviations I expected. I had
envisioned once getting a file of these constitutions it would
take forever. At this point I can not get up the interest to be
exhaustive given the similarities I have found by surprise.

Looking backwards at the dates of adoption of these
constitutions I can not explain why I expected to find
differences.

TG> My best friend is a Superior Court court reporter, and
TG> about 2 years ago they stopped allowing her to transcribe
TG> from tape to paper unless an appeal was filed, or an
TG> attorney involved with the case expressly requested one.

I remember the change but until I find someone (or can
reconstruct the memories — unlikely) who was part of the change
I will generally agree with you. I remember my objection was
that transcripts were automatic and the price was fixed an that
that should not have been changed.

TG> It is my understanding that this is because A) the court
TG> reporter can read back from the tape, whether it is actual
TG> “tape” or data transformed into a computer diskette via her
TG> transcriber and B) it was costing taxpayers obscene amounts
TG> of money not only to have the documents transcribed but
TG> also stored. Apparently, if an attorney desires he can
TG> request a transcription of every court session WHILE THE
TG> CASE IS BEING HEARD for no charge, but afterwards there is
TG> a hefty fee paid by the attorney or other requesting legal
TG> party.

The issue is a bit different. Most simply freelancing this
trial would be a very profitable operation. I mentioned that my
last live in (or maybe I was hers) is a transcriptionist. She is
also published twice on medical spelling reference books.

Does not the guarantee to a public trial imply the official
trial records are public? It was hardly ever a matter that the
next of kin could listen in. Rather that anyone, the vigilant
public could know what happened. Why can it not be freelanced?
Were we still live in’s we would be discussing the financial
opportunities. (I turned out to be pretty good at it. We could
sell a day at a time with two days lag for the cost of a
duplicate tape purchase.)

TG> Just a little bit of info before people got into the cloak
TG> & dagger stuff… Not that it wouldn’t be NICE to have
TG> transcripts readily available for federal cases. :>

No problem but I think I know the market for this trial and
the pricing structure. When you are self employed profit is

It was EQUALLY valuable on election day. It only started

A felony only exists upon conviction. The allegation of

If Congress gave him immunity, certainly they deserve one of

June 1 1994 [received 9 June 1994]

[from] Department of Justice [by letterhead and envelop]
Criminal division

Mr. Matt Giwer
1425 San Mateo Drive
Dunedin, FL 34698

Dear Mr. Giwer:

This responds to your letter to the Attorney General
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
concerning the Branch Davidians and David Koresh.

Let me begin by saying that although the President would
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
like to respond to all citizen correspondence he receives, his
extensive, official duties preclude him doing so. Since the
Department of Justice deals with the criminal justice system, his
staff forwarded your letter here for response.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On February 28, 1993 the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms (“ATF”) attempted to execute arrest and search warrants
at the Branch Davidian compound outside of Waco, Texas. A
shootout ensued, during which four ATF agents were killed and 15
agents were wounded. For 51 days, federal agents attempted to
negotiate with David Koresh for his surrender and the release of
all those inside, including the children. This standoff with
federal agents ended tragically with a fire at the compound on
April 19,1993.

We recognize that the tragedy resulting from this situation
has resulted in concern and anguish throughout the country.
However, since the Branch Davidian matter is the subject of an
ongoing investigation, any further comment by the Department
would not be appropriate. Thank you for sharing your views.

Sincerely,

/s/

Karen Tinkham, Chief
Correspondence Staff
Executive Office

=====

It also my 13 April 1994 took a very circuitous route
to get to the Justice Department. I do not explain it.

I would also have to ask just what the ongoing negotiations
might be over.

This is the original letter.

=====

13 April 1994

Janet Reno
Attorney General
Department of Justice
Washington DC 20530

Dear MS Reno,

I have been waiting a year now for you to do your job
regarding Waco. I am disappointed you have not done it.
The BATF announced it had planned the raid in advance. It
announced it moved up the date by one day of the attack only
because of a compromise of security. The warrant would have
been dead on the day they planned the attack.
This is conspiracy to violate civil rights. It is a crime
worth ten years. You have done nothing to pursue this crime.
When do you plan to do your job?

Respectfully,

Matt Giwer

AQ> Do you have any proof that the government started it and is

What does the end have to do with the start? If they had
not gone in shooting there would certainly have been a different
start.

AQ> MG> Koresh was the one begging for a cease fire while the
AQ> MG> BATF refused him. I would suggest it was the BATF that had
AQ> MG> a particular outcome in mind.

AQ> And to what end would they want to end it the way it
AQ> ended?

If they had wanted a violent end they would not have tried
to get a cease fire. They could have simply kept up the shooting
and when the BATF was out of ammunition (they were down to 40
rounds — their statement — when they agreed to a cease fire)
and then gone out and wiped them out to a man. Then the could
have called 911 and reported a “problem.”

Sorry, you are justifying your preconceived conclusion.

AQ> MG> Over half of it was in preparation for a gun show in
AQ> MG> Austin two weeks after the attack. And perhaps, while you
AQ> MG> are at it, what possible business JC & Co. had with all
AQ> MG> those swords.

AQ> What about the other half and if like you say they were for
AQ> a gun show, why was there so much amunition so readily at
AQ> hand?

What of the rest of it? It was their home. If you want to
talk averages even including the children, they had fewer guns
than I do. As to ammunition, I have no idea what you are talking
about. I have watched three tapes of Waco and I have not seen
one sign of any return fire.

If it had not been on the 911 tape (“now we are”) there
would be no evidence they fired a shot. The early reports of the
autopsies of the agents indicated they died of friendly fire.
Considering they were firing blindly (watch any of the tapes)
that is hardly surprising.

AQ> MG> From the claims of the BATF and from events it is
AQ> MG> obvious he was a prophet. The BATF even documented one of
AQ> MG> his successful prophecies in their warrant. In one of his
AQ> MG> recorded phone conversations he claims to have known the
AQ> MG> government was going to come for him, and they did, and
AQ> MG> there is no way he could have forced the government to come
AQ> MG> after him.

AQ> That was not prophecy, that was an informant that told him
AQ> and besides you would not have to be a prophet to know that
AQ> somebody was going to try to arrest you in that situation.

Of course the reference to the LA riot was a successful
prophecy. It was dated before it happened.

As to the exact situation, how could he have known they
would not knock on the door? How could he have known they would
come in shooting? He must be a prophet.

AQ> MG> From the available evidence it appears his status as a
AQ> MG> prophet put him in a better position than most to interpret
AQ> MG> it.

AQ> Why would you say that.

Because the BATF at least has documented him as having a
direct pipeline to god in being able to predict the future.

No Carrier
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994

A new danger is sweeping over the land and it started in
Texas. A cult of religious fanatics has moved out of a small
compound and is ravaging the countryside as I write. At first
they appeared to be harmless working stiffs but then they moved
out of their compound like a voracious band of army ants.
All forty men have already reduced Waco to ashes and have
taken Houston hostage. Dallas is under siege as we speak.
They are easy to identify. Each man is carrying five rifles
and 25,000 rounds of ammunition. If you see someone fitting this
description in your neighborhood call your governor immediately.
If necessary, call the President.
Their leader is a modern day Svengali who practices advanced
mind control techniques over his followers. Over one hundred
men, women and children follow him with slavish devotion. He has
used his hypnotic eye to rob them of their will. He is rumored
to be an ex-CIA agent.
Be warned! He is out to control your mind.
It is rumored he has sex with women who are not his wife and
even worse they have borne his children. The modern mind must be
aghast at such behavior.
And his intentions in all of this? To find the meaning of
the seven seals in Revelations. Can you imagine a more
frightening or horrible objective?
Most frightening it is rumored they have collected the
makings of low grade fireworks and 30 to 50 deadly assault
cardboard tubes. The mind boggles at the havoc they could wreak
with these.
I urge you. Arm yourselves. Look your doors. Do not leave
your home unless absolutely necessary.
This threat will not dissipate soon. Lay in provisions.
The very future of the country is at stake.
Take no chances. If they are carrying a bible, shoot to
kill. This is your last warning. They are attacking this BBS as
I type. ****g**r*-F*G**{* NO CARRIER

=====

You tell me what they were going to do with so many guns. I
would certainly like to know also.

———————————————————————–

Every few months I get involved in the Waco debate enough to
feel the need to re-post this reply. I think it continues to
have bearing on the on-going discussion.

===

LW> What do you think the FBI should have done? What are your
LW> credentials?

Frankly good sir, I have no credentials other than what I
have observed in circumstances similar to what the government
claims them to have been.
But I am glad you finally asked. Not me, but close enough.
One of the first things you do in a potential suicide
situation (vice the hostage situation the government was falsely
claiming) is to get every family member possible to make the most
emotional plea and assurance possible that they must NOT commit
suicide because they are loved and they will be given the best of
treatment.
What is not done, absolutely not done, is arrest hostages.
OK, perhaps the government does have an interest in keeping tabs
on them, so they are given “house arrest” with family and
regularly show that on TV and report it on radio without showing
the guards outside the house.
What you do not do is provoke a case where the attorneys of
the arrested hostages can go to court, claim they are being held
without charges in violation of the constitution, hear that
denied and the appeal of that denied. You do NOT let people hear
that IF they surrender they will be arrested and held without
charges with a cellmate named Bubba.
You do make those who come out as happy as possible and make
that the offer for those who leave.
In line with this you do NOT arrest the parents and forcibly
separate them from their children and consign them to foster
homes of strangers.
All this does is send the solid message, “This WILL happen
to you!”
What else do you do with a potential suicide? You do not,
repeat not, provide any self fulfilling prophecies. That is, you
never reinforce the suicide’s reasons for suicide. So the word
should have been, “This was a tragic misunderstanding. We need
to work it out. You have to understand our position we can not
walk away but we will offer you a situation similar to what you
have now while awaiting it going to trial.”
And as to how? Real simple. Surrender your weapons and
allow our guards inside to supervise. In return the gov would
return power and offer monitored but unlimited phone access.
They would provided non-handcuffed passage to and from
arraignment and trial.
What the government did to was present a “final
confrontation between good and evil” situation to them,
reinforcing their beliefs. And it was a confrontation and yes it
was final. Yes, the government reinforced their beliefs, the
last thing one does in a suicide situation.
=====
The problem with going any further is that there is only one
other MAJOR scenario which is that of a hostage situation. There
are no parallels to this kind of “hostage” situation. A hostage
is always taken or forcibly restrained and used as a bargaining
chip with the authorities. Their own children definitely were
not either taken nor forcibly restrained.
Since there was no hostage situation there is no way to say
what should of should not have been done regarding hostages.

=====

The Religious Fanatic scenario is about mid way between the
psychotic and the suicidal case. However in this case one does
not ever fulfill prophecy. One does as many things that
contradict prophecy as possible.

What one does do is put it back to a purely civil matter and
NEVER EVER attack their religious beliefs as was done regularly
in press releases and news conferences. One does not call a true
believer a nutcase any more than one directly challenges a
creationist and expect acceptance.

=====

So let us go on to the minor violent psychotic scenario.
What the government does NOT do is to insult a violent psychotic
much less a group of them.

In that vein one does not say they are hiding behind
children.

They do not say they are hiding behind women.

Since women were joining the cult independently one does not
insult female psychotics by saying the men are hiding behind them
when they are bragging as to which woman got which government
bastard.

So what should have been done? A total and complete scare
campaign, a war of nerves, random gun fire in the middle of the
night, blanks or the real thing through the wall above head level
(that is what snipers are for but if they are truly psychotic
sometimes you have to penetrate a few skulls.)

This is better known as the snake pit treatment. If in fact
they are truly psychotic (which I am not proposing) then
demonstrating the penalty of the psychosis they have chosen is
the best way to handle it.

=====

Let us go on to the child abuse allegation even though it is
not a Federal matter and never has been.

Child abusers are most commonly into open denial or blaming
it on the children. One does not openly confront a child abuser
with his behavior unless in control of the situation.

Rather the government should have treated them as very
normal parents — all of them. And then assure them the
allegations would be handled by the appropriate state
authorities — but in the mean time … come up with something
appropriate like regular visitation by social workers, perhaps a
couple of live in social workers just to be sure, plenty of
options to negotiate.

=====

Going on to the methamphetamine lab allegation …

=====

No, I will not go into that one or any other. I have
covered the major ones the gov has floated more than once and the
drug lab was so absurd they never repeated it.

So what could the government have done? I would suggest it
is very simple, whatever is appropriate to what they really
believe as opposed to what they said.

What does this have to do with him calling for the cease

AQ> MG> and when the BATF was out of ammunition (they were down to

You, the BATF and the FBI have all failed to demonstrate
there was any reason to think anything was waiting for the BATF.
This includes all court testimony. You are implying things of
which no one has knowledge.

AQ> MG> What of the rest of it? It was their home. If you
AQ> MG> want to talk averages even including the children, they had
AQ> MG> fewer guns than I do. As to ammunition, I have no idea what
AQ> MG> you are talking about. I have watched three tapes of Waco
AQ> MG> and I have not seen one sign of any return fire.

AQ> From what I have read, the original reason the BATF was
AQ> involved at all was because there was reports that the BDs
AQ> were in the process of converting legal semi-automatic
AQ> weopons into illegal fully automatics but what cowboy came
AQ> up with the plan they finally went with is anybody’s
AQ> guess.

They said there was a suspicion they were doing so without
paying the $200 transfer tax. That is not supported in the
search warrant. In fact the warrant contains at least one
obvious perjury. So what justified these actions?

AQ> MG> If it had not been on the 911 tape (“now we are”) there
AQ> MG> would be no evidence they fired a shot. The early reports
AQ> MG> of the autopsies of the agents indicated they died of
AQ> MG> friendly fire. Considering they were firing blindly (watch
AQ> MG> any of the tapes) that is hardly surprising.

AQ> I have seen some of the video that was shot during that
AQ> raid and I do not think after watching it that you can say
AQ> there is no evidence that the BDs fired a shot or kiled
AQ> anyone as the couple I saw fall could not have been hit by
AQ> blue fire as it would have had to be deliberate murder and
AQ> I don’t think even the BATF is that stupid.

You don’t think the BATF is stupid and you saw the tapes.
You know the warrant mentions grenades, in fact a shipment of dud
grenades is given as the proximate cause of the investigation.
You saw the BATF clustered behind cars firing blindly or at
anything the moved, specifically into the second floor where the
women and children lived.

Tell, is it or is it not stupid to be in clusters when there
is a concern for grenades? Is it intelligence to be in clusters
when concerned with automatic weapons?

As for the shooting, I have watched the tapes. There is not
ONE broken windshield, not one bit of dirt being kicked up, not
the slighest evidence they are under fire save they are behind
the cars. Can you tell me what you saw that indicated they were
under fire?

And I have to ask just where you saw a tape of anyone
actually being hit? You are the first person to make this claim.

As to how they might have died, they were in the line of
fire from the snipers across the road.

AQ> MG> Of course the reference to the LA riot was a successful
AQ> MG> prophecy. It was dated before it happened.

AQ> You would have to give me a reference for this one because
AQ> it is meaningless unless you know the date. Even I
AQ> predicted that there was going to be bad riots after the
AQ> cops were arrested unless they got convicted.

It is in the warrant. You have read that. It is used as
evidence of his “violent” intentions. It gives the date of his
prophecy as two weeks before the riot.

AQ> MG> As to the exact situation, how could he have known they
AQ> MG> would not knock on the door? How could he have known they
AQ> MG> would come in shooting? He must be a prophet.

AQ> Because his brother in law was a mailman and he was
AQ> informed by one of the news crews, who were lost and
AQ> seeking directions. and he then went to the compound and
AQ> informed Koresh.

Sir, there was court testimony in this regard. There was no
such claim. Why are you making it?

AQ> MG>AQ> MG> From the available evidence it appears his status as a
AQ> MG>AQ> MG> prophet put him in a better position than most to interpret
AQ> MG>AQ> MG> it.

AQ> MG> Because the BATF at least has documented him as having

The latter is not only a fact not in evidence by directly

I find it fascinating no one questions the mailman story

AQ> JB> In view of the fact that Koresh had indeed responded

AQ> Mar. 15/93. He states that “if the Bible is true, then I am
AQ> Chritst”.

Are such claims under BATF jurisdiction? If so, evidence he
was a truly peaceful man.

The same message tempted Koresh toward martyrdom
AQ> for himsalf. He planned to die in a battle against the
AQ> unbelievers, then be joined in Heaven by the followers who
AQ> chose to lay down their lives for him.

You have to explain why, if that was his intention, he
called for a cease fire instead of winning the battle the first
day. Until you do that your speculation is without foundation.

AQ> Like I say there is no excuse for the BATF to go in the way
AQ> they did but that does noe excuse Koresh for what followed
AQ> later.

You mean he can not be excused for calling for a cease fire
that saved the lives of a hundred BATF agents?

AQ> JB> Who says the ammunition was “so readily at hand”? And what
AQ> JB> about your clause, “so much ammunition.”? If I kept 1000
AQ> JB> rounds of ammo in my hall closet, would you call this “so
AQ> JB> much ammunition so readily at hand?”

AQ> Yes I would as in most civilized countries it would be
AQ> illegal to have the types of weopons that he had and that
AQ> much ammunition.

It is not illegal in this country. That means the BATF had
no jurisdiction.

AQ> I have no idea and it has nothing to do with the argument
AQ> that I am trying to make and that is the apoclyptic message
AQ> of Koresh and the fact that he wanted to be a nartyre and
AQ> the attack by the ATF just accomodated him.

Again, explain why the apocalypse was not on the first day.

AQ> And so it was as far as the ATF and FBI were concerned but
AQ> there is an awful lot of apoligists out there for the BD
AQ> and they were definately not faultless in all of this. For
AQ> instance why did he not let his own kids leave when the
AQ> other ones did?

The FBI promised they would be safe.

And he still had many charges involving sex
AQ> with girls as young as 12 and the fact that he had many
AQ> wives, which is still against the law.

There were no such criminal charges and no such
investigation.

The reason the BATF
AQ> got invoved in the firs place is there was reports that
AQ> they were converting legal semi-automatic weopons to
AQ> illegal fully automatic ones.

No. It is stated in the perjured warrant the reason was a
UPS deliveryman finding a broken open box of dud grenades. Then
the agent went on to swear to a bunch of obvious lies to get a
warrant.

Is this too hard for you to understand?

His arm had changed from numb to ache to pain. While
holding on the phone he wrapped he belt above the hole to stop the
bleeding. It was not until then he realized he was laying in a
pool of his own blood. “Lord do not let me go into shock, I beg
you.” He felt calm returning.
He barely heard his name being called over the gunfire.
Picking up the phone he said in a calmer voice, “This is David.”
“Good, David, I am trying to raise them on the radio now.
We are having trouble getting through.”
“Are they refusing to answer?”
“I can’t say that, David.”
“We knew you were coming you know. We knew you were coming
to kill us before you knew you were coming.”
“No one is coming to kill you, David.”
“You have killed many of us already. We knew you were going

“David, David, please don’t do anything rash.”
“I have forgiven you as the has Lord commanded. We are only
shooting to defend ourselves now.”
“I know you can’t stop shooting. I’m still trying to get
them to answer their radio.”
“Who are they?”
“It is the government, David. I am certain they are good
men thinking they are doing the right thing.”
“That is what Weaver thought.”
“Who, David?”
“The government murdered his family.”
“Did you know him, David?”
“Only in Christ.”
“My name is Lynch.”
“Your name is part of the government.”
“That’s not fair, David.”
Wayne returned crawling on his belly cradling his .30-30 in
his best imitation of a raw recruit.
“Better get your backside down.”
Wayne flopped.
“The shooting is slowing. I can’t keep the men from
targeting the ones that aren’t firing. They are angry. I can’t
control them.”
Picking up the phone, “Lynch?”
“Lynch here.”
“That cease fire has to happen soon. I can’t control my
people. Your government is running out of ammunition. They are
trying to kill them. If there is no cease fire I will not be
able to save your government friends. If I could get to them, I
could stop them but if I stand up I die and I can’t bend my waist
from the pain. You have to get the cease fire now.”
“I’ll try saying that over the radio.”
“Thank you, Lynch”
“Wayne, find Steve and the two of you stop as many as you
can. Do your best.”
The telephone spoke again.
“Yes Lynch.”
“They answered this time. They will agree to a cease fire.
Now you have to get your men to stop firing.”
“Your people first, Lynch. I can’t get around the house
very fast.”
“I’ll tell them, David.”
“David, they say you have to stop shooting first.”
Outside the helicopters were coming back. “Lynch, if those
helicopters are coming again. If they do not turn back I will
not stop my people. Tell them. I will not let you murder any
more of us.”
In a moment the helicopters sound began to lessen, they were
leaving.
“They said they would, David.”
“Thank you. I will try to get my men to stop firing first.
I can’t promise. We did not start this.”
“I’m sure you didn’t, David.”
“What are we going to do, David?”
“Trust in the Lord, Wayne.”

Another report from today’s paper, this related to the Waco raid.

Agent in Davidian raid suing media
(Associated Press)
Waco, Texas – The undercover agent who infiltrated the Branch Davidian
sect before an unsuccessful raid last year has sued two media outlets and
an ambulance service.
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agent Robert Rodriguez blames
the Waco Tribune-Herald, KWTX-TV and American Medical Transport for causing
a confrontation between federal agents and Branch Davidians in an attempt
to make money from the coverage of the conflict.
He is suing for unspecified damages, claiming emotional distress and
mental anguish.
Waco attorney James Dunnam, who represents Rodriguez, has alleged the
media is to blame for alerting Koresh about the raid while Rodriguez was
still inside the compound.
“Robert Rodriguez is sitting there with David Koresh … when they were
tipped off wondering if he is going to get his head blown off,” Dunnam
said. “Did he create that situation?”
The lawsuit, filed Thursday in federal court in Waco, is the fourth
against the newspaper and TV station in connection with the raid, and the
second to name the ambulance service, which federal investigators found
tipped KWTX to the raid.

The sidebar says that the paper and TV station are owned respectively by
Cox Texas Publications and Cox Enterprises.

So now the feds want to blame the media, huh? What happpened to Janet
Reno being “responsible”?

When David had recovered he agreed with Wayne and was his
old, serene self in judging that trying to turn Wayne into a
Judas was to be expected of those who would kill him. He had
laughed a bit to learn he had not been shot.
They listened to the daily briefings primarily for the
amusement of what would be mentioned next. The funniest one when
they heard it was the “not quite a denial” that mass suicide was
expected with a Jim Jones reference. Amusement turned to anger
as every day that question was asked again and not quite denied.
What did not amuse them was the unqualified statement they
were manufacturing drugs. “Based upon infrared photos … they
are manufacturing methamphetamine a controlled class 1 substance
in the same category as heroin.” David had picked up the phone
immediately and demanded to know why that story was being told.
“We have very good reasons. You will see the reasons in a
couple days.”
“Why would you lie?”
“Have you resurrected your son yet?”
“Bastards!” slamming down the phone with a “Lord forgive me”
under his breath.
“Steve is an engineer. See if he can think of anything we
are doing that might give them that drug idea.”
“Will do.”
Of course the answer was none. But even more Steve offered
the opinion that it was flatly impossible for infrared to detect
any such thing unless they were producing it by the ton.
“Those folks will use infrared to justify anything.”
Two days later the briefing contained the following news.
“The US Army has provided a tank and several CEVs to assist in
the siege of the compound at Waco.” “Impossible,” Wayne had
commented at first. A few hours later he got back to David.
“Now it makes sense. It is a federal felony to use the
military in civilian law enforcement except in one case.
Remember when they stated factually we were manufacturing drugs?
That is the one and only exception to the law. They lied about
us violating the drug laws so they can violate the Posse
Comitatus law.”
“Wayne, the more I think of this the less chance I think we
have a fair trial. I think if we surrender now, they are going
to continue to tell these lies in court and we are going to spend
our lives there. I had been considering surrender but no longer.
We might as well spend our lives here as in prison.”
“Agreed, David.”
“I’ll explain it to everyone tomorrow. It will be their
choice if they want to leave.”

While David was still recovery Wayne took over negotiations
with the FBI. In the morning the FBI had given the press
briefing and essentially announced that all would soon be well as
they were in charge. The recounted the same false account of
events as the BATF. It was obvious the FBI was was not here to
investigate. They were here to blame the Davidians.
When they called in the afternoon Wayne challenged them,
“Why are not investigating what happened? Why are you not asking
for our side of it?” The response was another demand to
surrender.
Putting on his attorney’s hat he asked, “To what charges do
you want us to surrender?”
The answer was long but the highlights were murder of
federal agents, ambush of federal agents, possession of
controlled weapons. In his head Wayne added up the entire list
to life plus sixty years. And then he asked, “How many BATF have
you arrested?” “None of course.”
“Will you entertain conducting an investigation of the
events and filing charges based upon our description of events?”
“Of course not.”
“Why will you not do so?”
“The BATF is the government. The government takes care of
its own.”
“I think you have made your position clear. It will take
some time to consider it.”
“Don’t take forever. We will not let you get away with
this.”
“I hear you.”
As Wayne mulled it over several facts were clear. The lies
of the BATF were being accepted as gospel. The entire government
was working to cover up the murders of one child and three
adults. If they did not surrender to life in prison the
government would make things worse for them. Not one word the
government was saying was true. It was reasonable to expect they
would perjure themselves in court with the same lies. It was one
group’s word against another.
And then there were the radio reports and talk shows. It
appeared people were believing the lies. It was a no win
situation. There appeared no hope of a fair trial.
He called back and said he would have to wait to consult
with David when he had recovered.
“We know he isn’t hurt. There is no reason to wait for a
man who opened fire on the BATF.”
“That is not what happened, Wayne insisted.”
“That is the official truth. We own the judge and the
courts. However I am able to offer you an agreement if you will
testify against Koresh.”
Wayne slammed down the phone.

Actually the manpower cost should be no more than 25% of
total costs. Therefore the direct increase would be 29/4%.
However that is a fast food place.

The suppliers have a different pricing structure that I am
not not familiar with. So the cost of raw food would go up by
the fraction of the cost of manpower.

However, the bottom line is that the overall cost would go
up by some significant fraction of the the 29% (at least 14%) as
all the labor costs will be passed on to the consumer.

It is like the employer mandated health care. Costs will go
up across the board and everyone will pay directly or indirectly
in higher prices to cover the costs. There ain’t no free lunch
and if the producer pays it costs will rise. Sure, the big
companies already pay health insurance and their prices will not
rise. Want to compare all of your spending to the the things you
buy from the big guys?

June 13, 1994— COMMITTEE DEMANDS ATTORNEY GENERAL JANET
RENO RESIGN OVER PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT IN TRIAL OF BRANCH
DAVIDIANS

Washington, D.C.–

On Thursday, June 16, the first day of sentencing of eight
Branch Davidians, members of the Committee for Waco Justice
will leaflet the U.S. Department of Justice located at
Pennsylvania and 10th streets from 12:30 to 1:30p.m. We are
demanding the resignation of Attorney General Janet Reno for
her role in condoning– and perhaps evenpromoting–
prosecutorial misconduct in the trial of eleven Branch
Davidians accused of conspiracy to murder federal agents.
All were found innocent of that charge.

Eight Davidians were found guilty of weapons charges –five
of those of aiding and abetting voluntary manslaughter.
Depending on the weapons allegedly used, defendants could
face from five to thirty years in prison. Some defendants
are expected to present new evidence that might exonerate
them during “allocution” before sentencing. Committee
members believe federal prosecutors Ray Jahn, LeRoy Jahn,
William Johnston and John Finizy, who work under Janet Reno,
engaged in or condoned the following acts of misconduct:

Group trial –this unjust tactic was used to prevent
defendants who could testify to other defendants’ innocence
from taking the stand since once they did so prosecutors
could force them to present self-incriminating evidence.

Destruction of evidence –the steel front door, which was
evidence BATF agents shot first and/or indiscriminately, was
never found, despite federal agents complete control of the
crime scene; while BATF originally claimed it had video of
the first minutes of the raid, prosecutors claimed at trial
equipment had failed and such video did not exist; similarly
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) claims its
surveillance devices failed right before the April 19th
fire, destroying any evidence of Davidians innocence of
starting the fire; prosecutors were at Mount Carmel the day
FBI tanks destroyed the building and with it definitive
evidence that federal agents fired indiscriminately and from
helicopters.

Withholding evidence from the defense –prosecutors
frequently broke the “Brady Rule” requiring prosecutors to
give the defense the chance to inspect all evidence against
the defendants. They did not tell defense attorneys, or
delayed until the last minute, that: two BATF agents had
changed their stories of who shot first; that they had two
witnesses who could identify a defendant; that they had
evidence to prove one of those witnesses could not initially
identify that defendant; that they had a written transcript
of their “star” witness’s early testimony — testimony
whichd iffered greatly from that she would present at the
trial.

Also, they would not allow a weapons expert hired by
defense attorneys to take off the plastic wrapping to
inspect the guns thoroughly. And the medical examiner
claimed that deceased Branch Davidian Perry Jones had only a
mouth wound, despite many Branch Davidians’ claim that the
unarmed Jones, who was standing next to the unarmed David
Koresh as he answered the door, was killed by the first
barrage of BATF gunfire through the now-missing front door.
The family currently cannot afford an independent autopsy.

Influencing Witnesses –two BATF agents changed their
original stories about the February 28th raid months later,
after speaking with federal agents and probably prosecutors;
an audio expert who earns more than $100,000 a year working
for the FBI created a transcript of surveillance tapes which
claimed largely inaudible statements were proof Davidians
spread fuel and started a fire, but ignored one Davidians’
audible statement he might use a “Molotov cocktail” in
self-defense against rampaging tanks.

Possible Pressure on Judge –On February 26th U.S.
District Judge Walter Smith let the Jury go after promising
defense attorneys he would dismiss a weapons conviction
Jurors had voted for, contrary to his instructions. The
Prosecution agreed to his decision. After conferring with
the Justice Department, prosecutors demanded Smith reinstate
the verdicts. Smith had barely escaped Justice Department
prosecution himself a few weeks before on charges of lying
under oath. He acceded to federal prosecutors’ demand. The
Committee for Waco Justice has discovered that Janet Reno
and other Justice Department and FBI officials in the
Washington FBI Operations Center had a “live audio feed” to
surveillance devices and could hear everything taped inside
Mount Carmel Center the morning of the fire as it happened:
Davidians’ calls for negotiations, tanks smashing the
building, children crying, people praying — and any plans
for setting fires or using Molotv cocktails.

Reno and her deputies should be prosecuted for violating
the rights of innocent individuals killed in the fire —
whether it was started by FBI tanks knocking over lanterns
as Davidians claim or by Davidian actions of which Janet
Reno and others had foreknowledge. Reno and other officials
and agents are being sued in civil courts for over one
billion dollars by relatives of deceased Branch Davidians.
They hold her and others responsible whether the fire was
started purposively or accidentally. Some are suing for the
deaths of women and children killed when a tank collapsed
part of the roof of the concrete room before the fire
started.

The Committee for Waco Justice believes that any individual
who would allow five 50 ton tanks to rampage through a
building filled with women and children probably would
condone and even promote prosecutorial misconduct to cover
up her crimes and blame her victims. Janet Reno is not a
hero. She should resign immediately. The Committee for
Waco Justice supports the draft bill to create an
independent “Waco Investigation Commission” empowered to
fully investigate government crimes against the Branch
Davidians and report to Congress with recommendations for

Hillary Rodham Clinton is making unannounced visits to hospitals to
interview patients on their quality of care. She pops through the first closed
door and finds a patient performing Solo sex.

“Shouldn’t you keep an eye out for this sort of thing?” she asks the
hospital administrator. He explains to her that Solo Sex is part of
the patient’s therapy. He has cancer of the prostate. Solo sex, in theory,
helps remission.

Hillary pops through another door. This time a nurse is giving the
patient oral sex.

“I suppose you’ll tell me that’s therapy too?”

“Yes, indeed it is,” answers the administrator. “Only this patient has
health insurance.”

… If Clinton’s the answer,it’s a VERY silly question

So why do not NRA members sponsor and advertise a gun turn
in program? Think about it. You can trade something dumb (gift
certificates worth less than a sale discount or teddy bears) and
stupid for guns. It is a legitimate trade.

Certainly there can be careful conditions in the advertising
such as “working condition” and the members can determine that at
the time of turn in with a consolation prize of a free Big Mac or
something like that. I presume there are some legalities
involved such as having an FFL type involved in the acceptance
but it should not be too hard to cover contingencies.

As for public relations, they are guaranteed to only be
resold to NRA members (known responsible) and the profits will go
to gun safety programs.

If people do not want guns we certainly do not want them to
have them. If they can be offered something of value in exchange
everyone is happy and they have contributed to gun safety.

If anyone in the Washington, D.C. area has a scanner to read an article
into the board there is one in the Washington Times, June 13 issure,
page A9 on what the cops are doing on house searches for guns as
reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Briefly, deals with getting
consent forms signed by residents to search for “illegal” guns. Quote:
“Only a few have said no- and of course police keep a close eye on them.
“We figure they have something to hide,” said Lt. Joseph Richardson….”

Defense is not Abuse
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <6/22>

While the nation is attempting to avert wars in both Haiti
and Korea the attention of the nation is riveted on O. J.
Simpson. As expected the professional whiners are on the talk
shows talking about spousal abuse. And of course the evil male
is guilty again.
The innocence of the woman is presumptive. It is axiomatic
that a woman can do nothing to deserve physical abuse. I have to
ask, how can a man ever deserve verbal abuse from a woman?
The scold or shrew is a well known character in literature.
How common they are in real life has not been the subject of any
study. A question we can discuss is how many women aspire to
being victims?
Every time you see or read or hear of a woman telling about
how she was beaten you have a professional victim. Can it happen
once? Certainly but those are not professional victims. Those
that go through relationship after relationship with the same
results are professional victims.
Why? Listen to the explanation as to why so many next time.
“I didn’t understand the kind of men I was seeking out.” Note
that makes them even a victim of themselves.
She is now the consummate victim. And when they go public
they get public humiliation and all the pity they can wallow in.
It has to be seriously asked if they sought out the wrong kind of
man or whether any kind of man would do and those men provoked
into violence. Back to the axiom, no woman can do anything to
deserve physical abuse.
I would rather ask if woman can provoke being beaten. I
note there is nothing that can stop a determined women from
continuing such provocation until successful.
What does she get out of it? First, the attention of
friends, neighbors and the police. Second, the courts
automatically side with the poor, weeping victim on the stand.
Third, if the man should want to get back into his own home and
see his own children again it will be on her terms.
Can a woman be stopped with anything short of violence?
Court relief from the common scold ceased a couple centuries ago.
In the past we had a recognized crime that certainly can lead to
domestic violence. Today we have no injunctive relief for it. I
am not suggesting bringing back the scold’s bridle but certainly
there is something between that and being laughed out of domestic
relations court.
It would appear only reasonable in law to remove the
presumption of victim status from the woman. It should be
recognized that women can just as easily be the cause of the
abuse they receive. Or shall it continued to be presumed that no
man should ever snap under vicious verbal abuse every waking
moment while knowing there will be no end until the woman gets
the victim status she wants?

Committee of 50 States
Newsletter – Volume 1, Number 2, June 1994 by Joseph Stumph

As we promised in the first newsletter you will find a copy of the Walter
Williams column which appeared in some 100 newspapers nationwide around the
first of 1994. As a result of his column we have received many inquiries
about our work to get 38 states to adopt the Ultimatum Resolution.

We are making good progress in getting the states to adopt the position that
they, not the federal government, are the superior in our state-federal
relationship. If we only succeed in reversing the psychology which presently
exists at the state level; that is, that the federal government is superior
to the states, we will have won a great victory. In getting the states to
realize that they are the PRINCIPALS, and the federal government is only an
AGENT, it is a tremendous step in the right direction.

Representative Charles Duke of Colorado was introduced to the Ultimatum
Resolution by one of his constituents around December 1993. Shortly
thereafter he called and said he was going to introduce it in Colorado.
Later he decided it might be impossible to get it through Committe in the
House as the Committee Chairman was strongly against it. Nevertheless, he
went forward with a proposal which had no “teeth” in it, but still sends a
strong message to the federal government, and is a good first step toward
reversing the present roles of federal and state governments.

Mr. Duke’s sovereignty resolution, or 10th Amendment resolution known as
House Joint Resolution 94-1035 reads in part:

. . .WHEREAS, the 10th Amendment defines the total scope of federal
power as being that specifically granted by the United States
Constitution and no more; and

WHEREAS, the scope of power defined by the 10th Amendment means that
the federal government was created by the states specifically to be
an agent of the states; and

WHEREAS, Today, in 1994, the states are demonstrably treated as agents
of the federal government; and

WHEREAS, Numerous resolutions have been forwarded to the federal
government by the Colorado General Assembly without any response or
result from Congress or the federal government; and (shades of King
George of England in 1776)

WHEREAS, Many federal mandates are directly in violation of the 10th
Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and

WHEREAS, the United States Supreme Court has ruled in New York v.
United States, 112 S. St. 2408 (1992), that Congress may not simply
commandeer the legislative and regulatory processes of the states;
and. . .

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the Fifty-ninth
General Assembly of the State of Colorado, the Senate concurring herein:

(1) That the State of Colorado hereby claims sovereignty under the
10th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers
not otherwise enumerated and granted in the federal government by the
United States Constitution.

(2) That this serves as Notice and Demand to the federal government,
as our agent, to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that
are beyond the scope of its constitutionally delegated powers.

Be it firther resolved, that copies of this Resolution be sent to the
President of the United States, the Speaker of the United States House
of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, the
Speaker of the House, and the President of the Senate of each state’s
legislature of the United States of America, and Colorado’s
Congressional delegation.

This Resolution passed the House April 8, 1994 by a vote of 51-13. It later
passed the Senate 25-7.

In sending the Colorado Resolution to leadership in all 50 states, many of
these states are, or will, consider passing similar resolutions.

For example, Hawaii passed May 2, 1994 Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 108.
The strongest part of the Hawaiian Resolution reads: BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED
that all compulsory federal legislation which directs states to comply under
threat of civil or criminal penalties or sanctions or requires states to
pass legislation or lose federal funding be prohibited. . .

One reason Hawaiian legislators are anxious to send a message to Washington
is, reading from the Resolution: “Whereas, in a letter to the Honolulu
Advertiser, Governor John Waihee states that the cost factor associated with
complying with federal mandates will cost the State of Hawaii $377 million
or approximately twelve per cent of the 1994 state budget;”. . .

All the states are laboring under more and more unfunded federal mandates
which are causing even many socialist and liberal state legislators to ask,
“What can we do?” The Ultimatum Resolution is meant to wake up state
legislators that they, not Washington, have all the power, and that
Washington exists only at their pleasure.

Dr. Ronald Carlson, a dental surgeon in Honolulu, the State Coordinator for
the Committee of 50 States, and a wonderful group of activist patriots
working with him can be credited for the passage of the Hawaiian Sovereignty
Resolution. They have put in many hours in meeting with and educating a
number of Hawaiian state legislators. Ron and our Committee did their best
to get Hawaii to “go for the gold” with the Ultimatum Resolution. We are
very proud of them for getting us “half-a-loaf” with the Sovereignty
Resolution.

>>> Continued from previous message
Roman Haslag and his wife Taz, our Missouri State Coordinators, personally
delivered flyers to each of their 197 Missouri legislators. Between them
and the influence of Charles Duke’s Colorado Resolution, Missouri passed a
resolution nearly identical to that of Colorado on May 13, 1994. In the
House it was 153-1. Senate, 27-0. Hallelujah!

At last count in California, Senator Don Rogers was leading a sovereignty
resolution adoption nearly identical to that of Colorado with 22 Senate
co-sponsors and 40 co-sponsors in this Assembly.

In Florida, Representatives Bill Posey and Stan Bainter succeeded in getting
24 co-sponsors for “the gold” itself, the Ultimatum Resolution. These good
men are doing all they can to get Florida to stand up to the federal bully.
Please encourage thm in their excellent work.

The Arizona State Legislature was the host of Western States Summit II, May
19 and 20. Arizona governor Fife Symington and Utah governor Michael
Leavitt addressed this convention attended by some 350 state legislators and
county commissioners, miners and ranchers, etc. from all over the west. As
in the first conference held in Denver in February 1994, elected leaders and
others are trying to come to some sort of consensus on the best way to get
the federal government under control.

Both governors presented good plans which point us in the right direction.
Governor Leavitt in particular is calling for a convention of states to get
together to figure out what to do. He thinks, perhaps, an amendment to the
Constitution which will strengthen the Tenth Amendment could be the thing to
do.

Such an approach is good but will accomplish nothing. The elitists in
control of our government are determined to control the entire planet and
the only thing which can possibly hold them back is for at least 38 states
to take a stand as we suggest and tell the feds exactly how it is; that we
are all fed up; have taken all the federal oppression and tyranny and
outlandish taxation we intend to take, and in power, under law, and with
firmness tell the federal government we mean to put them back in their
constitutional cage, or dissolve the entire federal structure and start
over.

Nevertheless, Governors Leavitt and Syimgton have their STATE’S RIGHTS
thinking caps on and we should encourage and applaud them as they grow in
knowledge as to how the game should be played, and we hope, with the courage
to stand and fight. It is doubtful that either governor has the insight or
knowledge of the evil nature of the global elitists or their determination
to RULE and RUIN this planet. It is important that we let them know we are
behind them, for as they begin to put heat on the federal government, they,
in turn, will feel tremendous heat and pressure to back off and let the rich
men of the earth have their way.

We have 23 states in which we have wonderful patriots who have accepted the
responsibility to be State Coordinators for the Committee of 50 States.
They are listed below. Please contact these leaders is your state is
represented and volunter to help them get your state to pass the Ultimatum
Resolution. We need Coordinators in the other 27 states. If you can refer
us to knowledgeable patriots who might have the time to act as leaders in
these states, please refer them to us.

Most of the state legislatures have adjourned for 1994. Now is the time to
approach your personal state representative, or those likely to be elected
in the 1994 November elections, and ask them to co-sponsor the Ultimatum
Resolution in 1995.

Our goal is to get the Ultimatum Resolution introduced in all 50 states in
1995 and actually get it passed by at least 38 states during the 1996 state
legislative sessions.

We have only about 7,400 people to concentrate on in all 50 states. There
are at least 5,000,000 well-informed patriots across America who vote for
these 7,400 legislators. Surely, 5,000,000 people encouraging 7,400 to vote
for the Ultimatum Resolution is sufficient to get the job done. Please do
your part. Go personally, and visit your two state legislators. They are
local, common people just like most of us. Since you vote for them they are
anxious to please you. Let them know you’re alive, friendly and diplomatic
and you want the Constitution preserved and federal deficit spending stopped.

To all of you who sent in $5.00 for a subscription to this newsletter, we
thank you for your support and faith in the cause of freedom. Your
financial contributions are so gratefully accepted and appreciated because
we have to operate on a “shoestring.” We would like to thank each of you
individually but felt it wiser to thank all at once in the newsletter and
save postage. You are wonderful; we love you and we need you if we are to
save our country, our homes and our lives from tyranny of the New World
Order and ultimate slavery. Please share the newsletter with family,
friends and neighbors, or any who are interested in freedom.

This issue is complimentary to those who have not had it before. If you
wish to be kept informed of the progress of this effort, please contact our
editor with your subscription. We need your help.

For your convenience we now have the Ultimatum Resolution on videotape for
$13.00 postpaid.

Your friend in liberty,
Lila Aagard, editor

PLEASE NOTE: The Ultimatum Resolution is an insurance policy, nothing more.
If 38 states decide to adopt it, nothing will happen unless Congress or the
President steps over the who lines which the states will be drawing in the
sand. If 38 states act in unison, we believe the federal government will
obey the will of the states rather than face the alternatives.

If you would like a copy of the book showing the structure of the union and
how the states have all power, send $13.00 to:

Committee of 50 States
4808 Quailbrook Circle
Salt Lake City, UT 84118
(801)966-5533

=====================================================
The “two lines in the sand” are: (1) if the federal debt reaches
$6 trillion and/or (2) there is an attempt to suspend or abolish
all or part of the Constitution.

Joe Galen said something about Waco memory check to All:

JG> It is fairly well accepted that 10 people were killed at the
JG> BD compound prior to the fire on day 51. Of these, 4 were
JG> BATF agents and 6 were members of the BD.

JG> On day 1 there was a firefight variously estimated to have
JG> lasted from 45 minutes to one hour. During this firefight,
JG> 4 BATF agents were killed. How many BD were killed during
JG> the firefight? Were any BD killed later?

JG> Rephrasing the question…Were any BD killed by the BATF or
JG> the FBI subsequent to the day 1 firefight and prior to the
JG> activities of day 51?

Two confirmed kills. Mike Schroeder, after the firefight, killed
while trying to return to the compound. Peter Ghent (sp?) was
killed by a sniper on top of the water tower.

AQ> Not very much of a prophet is he if he could not tell how

Then you agree the FBI lied to them.

And if he did then I repeat

AQ> were not old enough to make up their own minds?

Are you suggesting all parents should abandon their child
until they are old enough to make up their own minds?

AQ> MG> There is no evidence he did anything wrong.

AQ> I think there is ample evidence such as the fact that they
AQ> were thought to have a couple of cases of grenades and were
AQ> thought to be converting weopons to automatic ones.

Please provide your evidence of this.

As you well know the polygamy and child abuse allegations

AQ> MG>AQ> 1) Why did he let all of the other children go except for

What sacrifice? It was the FBI that poisoned the children.

AQ> MG>AQ> 2) And finally why did he allow himself luxuries that he

AQ> MG>AQ> air conditioning, and T.V.? And why did his followers allow

AQ> MG> The survivors have denied everyone of those allegations.
AQ> MG>And even if true, what made that the business of the BATF and why
AQ> MG>was it not mentioned in the warrant?

AQ> Most of them still revered him after they left the compound

They have been DENIED. That is, they are considered to be
untrue until there is corroboration. AND Koresh’s attorney saw
his room and reports the stories were not true.

Are you now going to tell me those magazines ran a picture
of the window to his room with an air conditioner in it?

NEW WORLD ORDER MOVES IN HAWAII!!

The Christian Volunteers Information Service
Reported by Lynn Shaffer

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!
8 JUNE 1994, 12:AM

Late this afternoon at approx 4:30 pm a swat style raid was
conducted by various agencies of the U.S. government at a Hawaii
Kai residence. Ivy West and her daughter returned to their rented
home and entered the premises as nothing appeared out of the ordinary.
Agents suddenly appeared brandishing firearms, they were actually
already in and around the house. According to her daughter, the
multi-agency team was made up of IRS, BATF, and FBI, etc, who were
very heavily armed and wearing body armor. They also were equiped
with laptop computers, and surveillance equipment. They allegedly had
search warrants and only asked if there were weapons on the premises.
(None were found.) It is not know at this time whether the warrants
were legal and/or properly served. Agents searched and ransacked
the 3 level home which contained a number of roomates who were home
at the time.

Miss West remains in a Honolulu jail where they are claiming to
be able to hold her for 48 hours without charges. No charges have
yet been filed. They are not allowing her any visitors or phone calls
at this time.

Agents confiscated documents, personal records, and computer
—————————————————————
equipment, fax machine, phones, etc. Agents prepared an itemized
——————————————————————
list of things taken which was labled: “Tax Propaganda”. Among
——————————————————————
the items stolen were Videos such as “Waco, The Big Lie”, “Waco II”,
——————————————————————
and videos concerning the Weaver murders/seige. Ivy had recently
——————————————————————
been conducting radio interviews with attorney Linda Thompson and
——————————————————————
discussing the ever increasing abuse of power by “our” government.
——————————————————————
[END]

Editor’s note: Is Ivy being made an example of as warning to
all of us who are on the front lines here in Hawaii? Please keep
her and this situation in your prayers…

GBY!

Are you saying their court testimony was perjured? They

The helicopters certainly were shooting through the roof on
the first day.

They were trying to kill everything in the house.

Didn’t your news magazines tell you all this?

Carrying in a portable radio Wayne demanded, “Listen to
this. They are saying we started it.”
It was a press conference called by the government, the BATF
it turned out. Now the speaker plainly stating they were fired
upon with a .50 caliber machinegun from the tower.
“Wayne, was their anyone in the tower?”
“Not that I know of.”
“Then what could have given them the idea there was a
machinegun up there?”
“I don’t know.”
Next the speaker told of their suspicions of child abuse.
With that David came out of his bed before collapsing in
pain. “That again,” he whispered. Every time some busybody from
wants to come out here they bring up that story. I invited them
out here to look around last summer. Why did they have to kill
my children?” Infection was setting in. He was not the old
David Koresh now. He was weeping where David Koresh would have
shown strength. They had only aspirin for fever and pain.
“David, you have to rest but you have to hear this too. I
am sorry.”
“If I were Italian I would have named you my consiglieri
long ago.” An old joke but the best he could must for his
lawyer lieutenant.
The statement was opened for questioning. An unindentified
voice asked if there was a possibility of drugs being used. The
speaker denied it. “At least they don’t think we are drug
dealers.”
The phone rang. It was amazing it had survived given the
condition of David’s room. Bullet holes were everywhere.
Everything was stained with blood. The smell of noxious smoke
was everywhere. Two men severely wounded had been taken prisoner
and one body was found. None of his people had been in the room
until after the cease fire. What had happened was
unexplainable.
“This is David.”
“This is the BATF. You are ordered to surrender. Come out
unarmed with your hands up.”
“The Lord has commanded us to turn the other cheek but I can
not leave on my own. I will tell my people of your order. They
may comply if they feel the Lord commands it.”
“Koresh we know you are the leader and you can order them.”
“I can order them. But after the cease fire you murdered
two of my people. They were unarmed. If they wish to turn their
cheeks to murderers I will neither stop them nor counsel them to
do so, save to repeat the word of the Lord.”
“They were armed and shot at us. You broke the cease fire.”
“I do not send armed men to work on the water tower. My
people do not carry guns while off of our land.”
“They were armed.
“Have it as you will. Goodbye.”
“Wayne, can we call the people at the press conference and
tell them what really happened?”
“I have tried that. Every phone line is answer by them”
with a note of disgust. “We are cut off.”

c David was approaching a delerium state from the infection of
his wounds when the BATF called and offered him a radio address
in return for surrender. He was not certain of the terms of the
offer but there was enough of the old Koresh left to believe he
was being offered the opportunity to speak to the country. He
had many teachings and sermons prepared for the world.
Wayne came to his room. “David, try to listen to me. Did
you agree to surrender for radio time?”
A very tired “what” passed his lips.
“Did you agree to speak on the radio?”
“Yes. They asked for a teaching.”
“Did you agree to leave afterward?”
“We will all leave here some day.”
“No, David, listen to me. Did you make a deal to leave as
soon as your teaching was complete?”
“I do not remember. Who says I did?”
“It’s the damn radio again. They announced a deal. I can’t
believe they would be saying this knowing your condition.”
“The lord will give me the strength.”
===
The next day he found the presence of mind to take an
overdose of aspirin and struggle up from his state enough to
remember one of his teachings. He lost track of time and mixed
several different teachings and rambled on for almost three
hours. Stations that had agreed to carry it around the country
dropped it after the first half hour.
===
“David, listen to me. They are demanding we surrender now.
Can you tell me anything before I answer?”
David could not. The aspirin had worn off and he was gone.
Wayne called back and said that he could not confirm the
agreement with Dave and until he could he would make no decision
in his place.
At the next morning’s press conference Wayne was enraged by
two announcements. The first being that David had reneged on his
deal when that was not what had happened. The second did his
blood pressure even less good. It was announced the children
were being held hostage and that the FBI hostage rescue team was
being called in to take over.
The children being held hostage in their own home was the
worst lie he could imagine. But the new conference went on to
hint darkly of child abuse by David confined to his bed in a
state of delirium. There was not one word in the press briefing
of what Wayne had told them. There was not one truthful word in
the press conference. Wayne was fuming but he did not bother
David.

In the morning those who had chosen to leave and those who
had chosen to send out their children assembled in the chapel.
It had been the first priority for repair. The damage from the
grenades had been mostly painted over but many of the hundreds of
bullet holes were still left. They had not laid in enough
supplies to repair the results of an attack like this.
The adults who chose to leave said they trusted the
government and believed their rights would be protected. Those
who chose to send out their child felt the government would
certainly not harm them. The government had promised to put them
under house arrest and send the children to family member.
The adults who chose to stay believed with David and Wayne
that it was matter of where spend the rest of their lives. Those
who chose to keep their children said they would never trust
their own children in the hands of strangers.
David had pointed to the press briefings where the
government had said it was willing to wait forever. He repeated
his teaching that the government would eventually come to destroy
them and to the constant stream of lies from the government but
to no avail. He did his best not to give advice but teaching.
Those who kept their children chose to trust the government in a
manner that would permit their families to remain together.
And so they left.
The children were given to social workers rather than their
extended families despite the promises.
The adults who left were arrested and put in jail without
charges. That was their right that they expected to be
protected even if the house arrest was a lie.
Upon hearing the radio in the morning, Wayne remarked that
that was what he had been trying to say but perhaps he was too
much of a lawyer to get it across.
David tried to console him by saying they probably did not
want to believe they could be held without charges.
“Dave, you do know this means if we stay here for twenty
years they will be held for twenty years without charges? If we
stay here until we die they will stay in prison until they die
and never have their day in court. I did not want that on my
conscience.”

The Last Call
“Koresh, leave your gas mask on. You don’t have to answer.
We know you are a smart man. Your children have now been exposed
to CS gas for six hours now.
“The first symptoms of chemical pneumonia will set in in 24
hours. They will start to die in 72 hours.
“I know you are a smart man, Koresh. You have one hour to
come out or their deaths will be on your hands.”
David hung up the phone visibly shaken. He had seen a lot
but he never thought they would go ahead with it. “Devil
worshipping murders,” he cursed into his mask, “That bitch in
Washington murdered my children!”
“Steve! Wayne!” his voice breaking in rage, “Get in here.”
He was barely heard through the mask. He told them of the
phone call. Barely controlling his anger Wayne added, “That the
same thing they used against the Warsaw Ghetto. What are they
going to do next? Burn us alive?”

That was a creation of the scriptwriters for the TV movie.

You are aware it was predicted here that it was only a

evidence.

and there was also the matter of the grandes

That is absolutely stupid. They had to make no such
assumption. The info was given them by a UPS driver and that
gave them the seller. They were obligated to investigate the
sender. That is where they would have found they were practice
grenades.

That is what the BATF described in the warrant as grenade
casings.

You really should learn what you are talking about before
you post.

I know, you saw a grenade used in the movie, something the

You have only condemned them.

AQ> but that still doesn’t answer my question, why did he want
AQ> to take all of those innocent people with him, esp if he
AQ> was as much as a prophet as you seem to think he was.

As you have concluded Koresh had the power to cloud men’s
minds it is impossible to you to comprehend they may simply have
chosen to stay voluntarily.

First you create one unfounded position and then use it to
explain another unfounded position.

He
AQ> knew what the final outcome was going to be as if you

As long as you live in the same fantasy world as the BATF
you would certainly believe they were armed to defend themselves

thing you could think of to do would be to attack them.

You and your friends are very stupid.

AQ> Yes I am ccritical of the BDs. They are not blameless in

Deliberately and knowingly according to you.

AQ> Koresh also knew that he did not want to survive the
AQ> confrontation as he thought he was Christ and wanted to be
AQ> a martyre.

You will of course quote from his sermons to demonstrate
that. If you are not are you at least willing to admit you have
made it up?

AQ> All I said was that I have no idea who fired first and
AQ> neither do you and I do not know if they were fireing back
AQ> but I imagine they were as there were several BATF agents
AQ> hit.

The BATF testified to firing first.

AQ> JB>Do you understand how foolish your comments look?

AQ> I could say the same thing about you as you have a habit of

JB>
JB> DALLAS – The federal government will reimburse Parkland
JB> Memorial Hospital in Dallas for more than half a million

JB>
JB> On April 19, 1993, three patients were transported from

JB>
JB> Hospital officials asked that the federal government pay

JB> government refused to pay for the medical care, Parkland
JB> attorneys sued.
JB>
JB> “Before we filed the lawsuit, we asked our congressmembers

I listed those crimes several times. Perhaps you were
simply asleep? You obviously have no idea what they were.

*** Count One — Conspiracy to Murder Federal Officers: This is
the most detailed count against all twelve defendants. The charge
reads, in part, “It was part of this conspiracy that Vernon K.
Howell, also known as David Koresh, would and did advocate and
encourage an armed confrontation, which he described as a ”war”
between his followers and the United States government.” Other
parts of the conspiracy included: creating the “Mighty Men” unit,
establishing the “Mag Bag” business location; acquiring or
assisting in the acquisition of weapons to be used in this “war,”
assisting in converting legally purchased semi- automatic rifles
to fully automatic rifles and inert hand grenade shells into live
grenades, preparing for the arrival of Federal agents on February
28th, endeavoring to enter Mount Carmel after the shootout,
forcibly resisting the execution of a search warrant from
February 28th until each individual left Mount Carmel, firing
upon tanks on April 19th, co-conspiring with David Koresh and
Steve Schneider to spread flammable liquids throughout Mount
Carmel and to start the fires within Mount Carmel. The remaining
counts below are quoted directly from the Justice Department
report.

*** Count Two — Aiding and Abetting the Murder of Federal
Officers: All twelve defendants were charged with aiding and
abetting the murders of the four ATF agents on February 28, 1993.

*** Count Three — Using a Firearm During a Crime of Violence:
Schroeder, Branch, Whitecliff, Castillo, Fagan, Fatta, Craddock,
Avraam and Riddle were charged with using a firearm during a
crime of violence in connection with the first ATF shootout on
February 28, 1993.

*** Count Four — Aiding and Abetting the Attempted Murder of a
Federal Officer: Allison (Nash) and Kendrick were charged with
aiding and abetting the attempted murder of an ATF agent during
the second shootout on February 28.

*** Count Five — Using a Firearm During a Crime of Violence:
Kendrick was charged with using two firearms in connection with
the second ATF shootout on February 28.

*** Count Six — Using a Firearm During a Crime of Violence:
Allison (Nash) was charged with using a firearm during the second
ATF shootout on February 28.

*** Count Seven — Possession of an Unregistered Destructive
Device: Craddock was charged with possessing an explosive grenade
on April 19, 1993.

*** Count Eight — Conspiracy to Possess an Unregistered
Destructive Device: Craddock was charged with conspiring with
Koresh to possess an explosive grenade during the 51-day
standoff.

*** Count Nine — Conspiracy to Possess and Unlawfully
Manufacture Machineguns: Fatta was charged with conspiring to
manufacture and possess machineguns during 1992 and early 1993.

*** Count Ten — Aiding and Abetting the Unlawful Possession of
Machineguns: Fatta was charged with aiding and abetting Koresh in
the unlawful possession of machineguns during 1992 and early
1993.

JW> MG> (2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the

JW> MG> members of the militia who are not members of the

JW> MG> which does not require a National Guard commission.

JW> It does for females. Go back and read the first part, re-quoted here
JW> for your convenience:

JW> MG>(a) The militia of the United States consists of all
JW> MG> able-bodied males
JW> ^^^^ ^^^^^^ ^^^^^
JW> Again, that’s “able-bodied MALES”, with the following exception for
JW> women noted:

JW> MG> and
JW> MG> of female citizens of the United States who are
JW> MG> commissioned officers of the National Guard.
JW> ^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ ^^ ^^^ ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^

JW> The only female citizens allowed to serve in the militia
JW> are females who are commissioned officers in the National
JW> Guard. Since the *unorganized* militia consists of only
JW> those persons NOT members of the National Guard, women are
JW> allowed only to serve in the *organized* militia. Only
JW> “able bodied men” not members of the National Guard or
JW> Naval Militia constitute the unorganized militia.

It is a minor difference that would not withstand Supreme
Court scrutiny these days. The 1776 militias were were certainly
supported by women and at least one woman is reported to have
operated a cannon battery. The law is clearly out of line with
the reality of this situation.

JW> If you missed anything, here’s the breakdown:

JW> The only women included in the composition of the militia

JW> Guard.

However if they show up to drill I don’t see anyone turning

Call Me Master
by
Anonymous (c) 1994 <6/26>

Who made you the laborer for me? I quit work. I live off
of the government. Thank you very much.
Could I work? Yes. Do I choose to work? No. Can I live
without working? Of course. You are my slave. You work to
support me. Why should I work?
I have a right to have a family and have them fed and have
medical care for them. It was good of you to choose to support
me in raising my family.
You have given me an apartment, medical care, food, spending
money, a telephone, cable TV, and a nice color TV. I am taking a
course to learn the skills to flip burgers and when I complete
it they will pay be for taking the course. I have a nice car in
mind. Thank you. But you will never catch me being nice to a
burger.
You folks are being very good to me. But then I should not
pretend to thank you. You are not doing it out of charity. You
would never do this out of charity. It was the people I vote for
who decided I should be the master and you should be the slave.
Look at it from my point of view. If I, shall we say, cheat
a little, they slap my wrist. If you refuse to pay for me, they
take away everything you own and put you in jail. I can get away
with murder. You can’t do jack shit.
If you don’t like me you can write your Congressman. If I
don’t like you I get prime time coverage of my latest demand upon
your income.
I got mine, Jack. If you can’t afford to take your family
to the doctor, tough. I have Medicaid. If your family is
hungry, up yours. I have food stamps. If you can’t make the
rent, tough noogies. The government pays my rent.
I got mine, Jack.
What am I going to do when my children are ready for
college? They are at the top of the list for a free college
education because I earn no income. I would hurt their chances
were I to go to work. Thank you for paying for their college
while you can not afford it for your children. You may call me,
Master. You are lucky I don’t whip you when my check arrives
late.
I am better than you. I have more civil rights than you and
I do nothing for them. If I have a problem with the law I get
help free. If you have a problem with a law, you go into debt
for years, maybe bankrupt. And if I am lucky enough for you to
injure me. I am in fat city and you are in real trouble. But if
I injure you, you can’t get blood from a turnip.
Listen up, slave. Stay just the way you are. But I wish
you would breed a little more. I need a guaranteed car.

You asked the right question first but did not answer it.
Why did she do nothing about it?

On the other hand what do you know of her family life? Did
she make life a living hell for him every waking moment until he
snapped? Please tell all the details. I am certain you are
willing to believe her implicitely.

If you will look at the records the “abuse” is equally
divided between the sexes.

I am also very familiar with a case of the woman doing the
every waking moment provocation. The last of many allegations
that she was being beaten was made after he left because she
started hitting him. She was the very model of a crying, abused
spouse in the judges hearing room. She claimed to have been
beaten and had bruises to prove it. But they weren’t there when
he left.

It was not the last he heard of her, including another case
of a claim of being beaten but he demonstrated he was no where
near there at the time. But she was still there weeping in
court.

MP> Matt this post is a vacant as any you have ever posted. It
MP> is not food for thought or even provocative it is just
MP> plain the ravings of someone who is not really aware of

The objective was to get the other side of the issue into

over it on the outside.

PB> Did this building have a concrete slab on-grade?

From what I have seen it had a plain wood post foundation.
Lift up the floorboards and you see dirt. It is nothing unusual.
I had a house once where most of it was built like that.

SP> So it is your contention that, if the little woman nags,

Obviously you only read selectively. I did refer to the man
being subjected to intense abuse every waking moment until he
snaps. You obviously did not read that part or you do not
believe it.

But short of the response you are implying, NO, NO WOMAN has
the right to nag, period. It is a disgusting characteristic of
some women and should be a matter of shame.

SP> I’m going to turn your argument around. If a woman has
SP> to ask a man to carry out his household duties, or
SP> remember a matter more than once, is this nagging? If
SP> so, why did she nag? BECAUSE HE DIDN’T DO WHAT HE WAS
SP> SUPPOSED TO! THerefore, he has made her into a nag; so
SP> why should he backhand his own creation?

Backhanding under these circumstances is your choice of
conditions, not the ones I proposed.

However, NO, NO woman has the right to nag, period. Who the
hell gave a woman that right? Who is a woman to unilaterally
determine what a man’s duties are?

He made her into a nag? She made him hit her? It is the
same excuse turned around.

SP> I also suggest you are confusing men with hair trigger
SP> tempers with the norm,

If you had read my reference to every waking moment you
would know I am talking the norm.

and you are doing a great
SP> disservice to decent men with enough self-control to
SP> defuse the situation by either removing their physical
SP> presence until they cool down, or by becoming more
SP> reasonable and doing that which she asked.

Defuse a situation? In my example as soon as he comes back
it starts all over again.

SP> One reason the “right to abuse” women was removed from
SP> law was because women ceased to be men’s chattels. No
SP> man can now consider a woman a thing, to be treated as
SP> he wishes. (Wise men never did, AAMOF, not even in
SP> patriarchal times.)

So when is the right to be self anointed judge of a man’s
duties and to run off at the mouth for days at a time going to be
put back into law?

SP> And, as events show, men often escalate from a backhand
SP> to a punch to severe beatings to murder, not only of
SP> their wives, but also their children, who never did “ask
SP> for it.” Women can be physical, also, but it is rare.
SP> Not as rare as it used to be, alas.

Evidence shows household violence is equally distributed
between men and women. You should know that.

SP> Any man who feels so tempted to lash out with his fists
SP> at his wife is immature, because he thinks violence will
SP> solve his problem.

But a bitch running off at the mouth for weeks at a time
because he won’t obey her petty, dictatorial decisions is a
sensible, mature person.

It doesn’t. When she speaks (nags)
SP> again, he has to use stronger force next time.

Only children nag.

SP> P.S. I hate whiny, nagging women…and men. But I also

Poor babies. It just isn’t their fault when it is a woman.
But a man can’t be made that way.

Subject: Rights

Rights From Who?
by
Matt Giwer (c) 1994 <6/27>

Lets start with a few simple questions. Does the Government
grant you the right to have a place to live? Does the Government
grant you the right to food? Does the government grant you the
right to have children? Does the government grant you the right
to use fire? Does the government grant you the right to defend
yourself?
Did I hear a yes to any of these questions? If that that is
the premise of our government. That our rights came before the
government was created and shall exist no matter what the
government says or does and shall continue after the government
is long history.
Our right to everything above can be traced back millions of
years where weapons for self defense were used by our pre-human
ancestors. The idea there is a difference between our rights
and our human nature is tenuous at best. No real difference can
be demonstrated.
Weapons are our nature. We inherited the use of weapons.
We evolved with the use of weapons. Weapons are or means of
defense. This is not something given to us by the government.
It is something we told the government it can not harm in any
manner.
Let us continue with some harder questions. Can the
government restrict the number of children you can have? Can the
government determine the quality of your housing? Can the
government determine what you can and can not eat? Can the
government restrict your use of fire? Can the government
restrict you to primitive weapons in the face of superior
weapons?
I think I detect some equivocation out there. Children? If
you can afford them — but who determines afford? Housing? Not
much movement there. Food? Not yet as long as the packaging
emphasizes all the current evils in food. Use of fire? Of
course not.
But can the government restrict you to a club or knife in
the face of a gun? So many agree it can. I do not understand
why. I do not understand why the government can restrict you to
an 8 round magazine in the face of a 19 round magazine.
What I really to not understand is why anyone would accept
the government having this power.
It has no such power.
It may make it illegal but it can not take away the right to
self defense by the best means available. Whose life is it?
The government has no compelling interest in any particular
human life nor in any population level. In fact given its
interest in birth control it would appear the government’s
interest is in people dying as quickly as possible. That the
government does not care you are forced into an unequal match
unless you are willing to risk the loss of everything you have
worked for all of your life is not in question.
If you die the government will reinforce its claim you
should not have weapons because you died from an unequal match.
Should you survive and produce an illegal weapon as your means of
saving your life, at the minimum it will be taken from you so you
can never save your life again. At the maximum that will happen
and you will go go jail for ten years for saving your own life.
That is our government in action.
Lets go to the hardest question of all. Can the government
demand you die to uphold its failure to get criminals off of the
streets? Yes is the most common reaction in this country.
The police can not protect you. You are not permitted to
have the most effective means of protecting yourself. The
government can not stop violent crime. Therefore, you die.
Clean, simple, and no longer a drain upon Social Security or the
health care system. What a neat solution to many outstanding
problems.
And if you defend yourself, go to jail, go directly to jail,
do not pass go, do not collect $200.
Only in America.

GK> The Rosenbergs: found guilty of treason in 1951 and

Espionage not treason.

JW> MG> Sedition.

JW> Treason.

Have it your way.

JW> MG> No document. You are asserting enemy has some meaning
JW> MG> just what you want it to mean. In this case you are
JW> MG> asserting Iran was an enemy because of a the statements of
JW> MG> the Ayatollah.

JW> Iran certainly considered the U.S. it’s enemy. They sure
JW> as hell kidnapped enough of our people.

What Iran may or may not have considered itself has nothing
to do with what the US considered it. As for kidnapping, no.
They may have financially supported some groups who used that as
part of their tactics but no more than that.

JW> MG>JW> Actually, I never mentioned the term “perjury”. All I said was
JW> MG>JW> that North is an admitted liar, which is undisputed.

JW> MG> What what the term you used before you learned he was not
JW> MG>under oath?

JW> “Liar”.

Synonymous with congressman.

GK> The, so-called, religious right, who are his main backers

I am unaware of any particular religious right support but
that could hardly be a problem in Virginia. The present governor
was accused of having it. He won easily.
