1100 Special Forces Protecting the Second Amendment

In response to this, all I can say is; "thank you and may God bless you".

29 January 2013
We are current or former Army Reserve, National Guard, and active duty US Army Special Forces soldiers (Green Berets). We have all taken an oath to “...support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same.…” The Constitution of the United States is without a doubt the single greatest document in the history of mankind, codifying the fundamental principle of governmental power and authority being derived from and granted through the consent of the governed. Our Constitution established a system of governance that preserves, protects, and holds sacrosanct the individual rights and primacy of the governed as well as providing for the explicit protection of the governed from governmental tyranny and/or oppression. We have witnessed the insidious and iniquitous effects of tyranny and oppression on people all over the world. We and our forebears have embodied and personified our organizational motto, De Oppresso Liber [To Free the Oppressed], for more than a half century as we have fought, shed blood, and died in the pursuit of freedom for the oppressed.

Like you, we are also loving and caring fathers and grandfathers. Like you, we have been stunned, horrified, and angered by the tragedies of Columbine, Virginia Tech, Aurora, Fort Hood, and Sandy Hook; and like you, we are searching for solutions to the problem of gun-related crimes in our society. Many of us are educators in our second careers and have a special interest to find a solution to this problem. However, unlike much of the current vox populi reactions to this tragedy, we offer a different perspective. <read more>

Cook'n on Your Car Engine

With the Superbowl right around the corner, everyone will be enjoying "Tailgate Parties", that is providing you have a tailgate on your car.  But not to worry if you don't!  Just walk around to the front of your car and raise the hood to your Engine compartment... we're going to cook on the Engine!

First of all, here's a few things we'll need:  Meat, Veggies, Tin Foil... and a Full Tank of Gas.

1. Spread multiple sheets of heavy-duty tin foil on top of each other. You’ll want to create a sheet with multiple layers so that no juices or food escape the bag during heating. It’s better to have too much tin foil rather than too little.

2. Spray the tin foil with butter or a non-stick spray.

3. Add a single serving of a meal of your choice to the center of the tin foil sheet. You can add a slice of meat along with some vegetables and seasoning.

4. Do not use meat that is overly juicy.  If the juices escape your Tin Foil Cookery, it can cause quite a mess on your engine, and who wants to drive a car that every time you rev the motor, it smells like Hot Wings.

5. With the serving of food in the middle of the tin foil sheets, fold the right half of the tin foil to the middle of the dish and press the tin foil together. Then fold the left side to the middle and secure... (SAY WHAT?... Heck, just throw your grub in the foil and crimp the edges... done!)

6. Chefs, start your engines!

7.  Once the engine starts to warm up, you can feel different temperatures in the engine compartment.  The hot areas are best for meats, while the warm areas should be used for vegetables.  If you're going to be driving, it's best to use a cooler area of the motor so you don't burn your dinner.   Also, be sure to secure your food if you're going to be driving or else those Ribs could be mistaken for Road Kill.  It's also a good idea to not block or obstruct Throttle Linkage for obvious reasons.

8.  As far as seasonings;  Unleaded should not flavor your dish very much, however exhaust can add a unique taste to both Pork and Chicken (beef is a little more forgiving).  If you have a Diesel... bring lots of Hot Sauce and Catsup.

NOTE:  If you have a Turbo, be extra careful to not place anything in front of the Intake.  All it takes is one pump of the Gas Pedal and you'll suck a Wing in your Turbo, which will get lodged in the Throttle Body.  This is a difficult repair to have to explain to your mechanic the next day.

Cooking Temperature Guideline (engine at idle):

• Shrimp – 1/2 hour
• Salmon – 45-55 minutes
• Boneless Chicken – 1 hour
• Pork Tenderloin – 4-6 hours

Cook Times if you plan on driving your vehicle (65 mph)

• Shrimp – 35 miles
• Salmon – 40 miles
• Boneless Chicken – 60 miles
• Pork Tenderloin – 200-300 miles


Here's some recipes to get you started.  

Good & Simple Cajun Shrimp/Crayfish – Cooking distance: 35 miles

Ingredients:

• 1 pound large shrimp or crayfish tails, in shells.
• 6 small green hot peppers
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• Butter or spread
• Salt & pepper

Remove seeds from peppers and mince with the onion and garlic. Butter your foil, add the shrimp and cover with your spicy mixture. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper, then triple-wrap and place in a medium-heat part of the engine. Delicious, seasoned, spicy shrimp or crayfish await.

Any-City Chicken Wings (sweet) – Cooking distance: 140-200 miles

Ingredients:

• 18 chicken wings
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1 cup red wine vinegar
• 1-2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 4-6 minced jalapenos
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp oregano
• Pinch of salt

Blend together all of the ingredients (except wings) and pour over chicken wings. Cover tightly in the fridge for at least 24 hours. Drain wings (save the marinade) and divide into three foil packages. Brush with marinade, then triple-wrap each package tightly and place on medium-hot part of the engine.

Another Rock Headed to Earth!

Asteroid 2012-DA14 will pass very close to Earth on Feb. 15, 2013 (NASA)

A rock approximately 165 feet wide is going to fly by the Earth on the 15th of Feb, 2013.  The Asteroid is traveling at a speed of 17,800 mph and set to come as close as 17,200 miles of our planet.  This is closer that some of our satellites.  NASA uses a very technical phrase when they refer to an event like this, they call is "a close call".  

NASA scientists say that there should not be a problem and that we should not expect an impact.  So, providing this rock stays it's course and doesn't change, we should be ok. 

 

 "A free people ought not only be armed and disciplined, but the should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."  (George Washinton)

President George Washington left us with not only wise words, but a glimpse of his vision for America.  He had seen what it was like to be under the rule of the British Empire.  Our forefathers knew it was better to live as freemen than to live as slaves. So, they stood against oppression. I'm sure they would do the same today.  So, I guess the question here is... what happened to American men?

“Anti-Gun” Senator Shoots Intruder

According to civitasreview.com, long time Anti-Gun Advocate State Senator R.C. Soles, 74, shot one of two intruders at his home just outside Tabor City , N.C. about 5 p.m. Sunday, the prosecutor for the politician's home county said.

"The intruder, Kyle Blackburn, was taken to a South Carolina hospital, but the injuries were not reported to be life-threatening, according to Rex Gore, district attorney for Columbus, Bladen andBrunswick counties..
The State Bureau of Investigation and Columbus County Sheriff's Department are investigating the shooting, Gore said. Soles, who was not arrested,declined to discuss the incident Sunday evening.
"I am not in a position to talk to you," Soles said by telephone. "I'm right in the middle of an investigation."
The Senator, who has made a career of being against gun ownership for the general public, didn't hesitate to defend himself with his own gun when he believed he was in immediate danger and he was the victim.
In typical hypocritical liberal fashion, the "Do as i say and not as i do" Anti-Gun Activist Lawmaker picked up his gun and took action in what apparently was a self-defense shooting. Why hypocritical you may ask? It is because his long legislative record shows that the actions that he took to protect his family, his own response to a dangerous life threatening situation, are actions that he feels ordinary citizens should not have if they were faced with an identical situation.
It has prompted some to ask if the Senator believes his life and personal safety is more valuable than yours or mine."

Oops! $114 billion

 

 

More than $114 billion exited the biggest U.S. banks this month, and nobody’s quite sure why.

The Federal Reserve releases data on the assets and liabilities of commercial banks every Friday. The most current figures, covering the first full week of 2013, show the largest one-week withdrawals since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Even when seasonally adjusted, the level drops to $52.8 billion—still the third-highest amount on record, and one for which bank experts and analysts were reluctant to give a definitive explanation.

The most obvious culprit is the expiration of the Transaction Account Guarantee program, the extraordinary federal effort to shore up the country’s non-gigantic banks during the 2008 financial crisis. Big banks were considered “too big to fail,” while smaller ones were vulnerable to runs. The TAG program backstopped their deposit bases by temporarily offering unlimited insurance on money kept in non-interest-bearing accounts. That guarantee ended on Dec. 31, so a decrease in deposits would be expected first thing in January.  <more>

Will They Shoot American Citizens?

 

Reports surfaced Jan. 22 that Dr. Jim Garrow, a 2009 Peace Prize Nominee, made a stunning claim on his Facebook page.  Apparently, he had been informed, by a top military member, that the Obama administration had started a new test for its newly appointed military leaders.  These future leaders are being asked whether or not they will follow orders given to them - to engage and fire on American citizens. 

As the founder of an organization known as,”The Pink Pagoda Girls”, Dr. Jim Garrow has been instrumental in “helping rescue more than 36,000 Chinese baby girls from death”. These girls had fallen victim to what is known as gendercide. His work has also led to a high degree of credibility, which makes this claim all the more disturbing and totally deserving of attention.

The recent post on his Facebook page has cause a bit of a stir;

“I have just been informed by a former senior military leader that Obama is using a new “litmus test” in determining who will stay and who must go in his military leaders. Get ready to explode folks. The new litmus test of leadership in the military is if they will fire on US citizens or not. Those who will not are being removed.”

Alex and his staff, at InfoWars.com, reported that Garrow later said his main purpose for coming forward with this information was to “sound the alarm”.  An alarm that has been heard all across our globe.

The profound testament, made by Dr.Garrow and posted on his Facebook page, comes on the heels of events currently taking place, which by themselves are causing a great deal of turmoil in the good ole’ USA. 

Recent, brewing Gun Control measures, huge amounts of ammunition requisitioned by all branches of Federal Government and the rumors of Foreign Military on our soil to be used during a massive Martial Law declaration, only serve to validate the claim made by Dr. Garrow.  This chain of events seems to be lining up for something major to happen.  Unfortunately, it appears that it will involve all of us, even you!  So, I think the correct response is to stock up on Rice and Beans and get ready to “dig in” and pray that all of this is incorrect.

Gun Ban is on the Way

 

U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) discusses the bill to ban what are being called assault weapons.  January 24, 2013, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said that she is going to introduce a bill to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds.  Senator Feinstein said that this is an attempt to stop gun violence.

Civil War to Overthrow the US Government

The fears of foreign troops on our soil, waiting to assist with Martial Law and Gun Confiscation, in addition to the myriad of restrictions being placed on all of us, seems to have ignited one, who goes by the name  “Anonymous”.

In his latest video, the movement or group has called for the most aggressive action yet. They’re asking the American people to join them in a “call to arms” for the destruction and overthrow of the US Government.
Civil War in the USA?  Seriously, I think all of us expected this to happen sooner or later.  However, I think we were all hoping for it to happen later.  Well, hang on!  It looks like it’s going to be a wild ride ahead of us…



“The United States Government insists on labeling us as terrorists. The question is, “who do we terrorize?” Is it probable that the United States government is truly afraid of we, the people?”

“They are not calling for denial of service attacks on government websites or protests as is their normal modus operandi, but for freedom activists to join them in full-blown war to overthrow the US Government and return it to the control of the people.”

“We are not calling upon the collective to deface or use a distributed denial of service attack on a United States government agency website, or affiliate. We are not calling upon the people to once again occupy a city or protest in front of a local building, This has not brought on us any legislative change or alternate law. It has only brought us bloodshed and false criticism.”

“For the last 12 years, voting has been useless. Corporations and lobbyists are the true leaders of this country and are the ones with the power to control our lives, To rebuild our government, we must first destroy it. Our time for democracy is here, Our time for resolution is here, This is America’s time for revolution, To restore our constitutional rights, to once again, be free therefore, Anonymous along with the American people have decided to openly declare war on the United States government. This is a call to arms.”  Activist Post

Oregon Up In Smoke

 

Forget the Surgeon General, if you live in Oregon you may have to start watching over your shoulder for the “Cigarette Police”. 

Rep. Mitch Greenlick, from Portland Oregon has  introduced a bill in the State Legislature to reduce the number of addicted people.  So, if someone is wanting to quit smoking cigarettes, Oregon is the place to live.  According to Greenlick's Bill, he's added a bit of motivation to stop smoking.  Under Greenlick’s proposal, smokers would be charged with a misdemeanor and face up to one year’s imprisonment and a $6,250 fine for being caught with a cigarette or any of the other Schedule III controlled substances, including ketamine, lysergic acid and anabolic steroids.

The Greenlick Bill would classify cigarettes as a Schedule III controlled substance, making them illegal to purchase without a doctor’s prescription.  The bill also prohibits the State Board of Pharmacy from adopting rules that exempt any nicotine products from the legislation, which would include chewing tobacco, nicotine patches and gums, among others.

Law enforcement agencies would have the right to inspect all products that they believe might contain nicotine.  “A person commits the crime of unlawful possession of nicotine if the person knowingly possesses more than 0.1 milligram of nicotine,” the legislation states.

Passing such a bill would also prompt criminals to begin illegally selling cigarettes in Oregon, where they would be able to charge potential buyers more than in other states. Addicted smokers would pay large amounts of money to get ahold of cigarettes.  Oregon state would lose some of its tax revenue, since it currently receives about $1.18 per pack of cigarettes.

Earthquake: Prepare for the Big One - Los Angeles

 
This is probably bad news for all of metro California.
In a study published this week in the journal Nature, Caltech researchers argue that previously written-off stable segments of the planet can join in during a fault-slip earthquake in which two plates of earth slide past each other.

Scientists at the Pasadena school have discovered that such areas can be sleeping giants that can uncoil during super-quakes.
The new theory, presented by CalTech, reflects what can only be translated as “massive shaking”.  Now, the question we all have is that of “when such an event can be expected”. <read more>

How to Make a Snare

Knowing how to make a snare can be very helpful in an emergency situation. Imagine that you are stranded in the woods and need to find food quickly. If you have some snare wire in your backpack or emergency kit, you can easily catch some dinner.

Follow these instructions to learn how to create a snare in order to catch some food!

Location
The first thing you’ll need to determine is where the prey is located. It’s not going to do you any good to set a trap where no animal will be.

You’ll want to look for signs of animals like tracks, droppings, plants that have been eaten, flattened vegetation, etc. The best area is probably around feeding areas or watering holes.

Noose and Loop
The simple snare is the basic tie behind any trap. Ideally, the animal would walk straight through the loop and set off the trap. You can start creating a simple snare by following these instructions:

Wrap the end of the wire a few times around a stick.

Twist the ends of the wire together and over each other a few times.

Remove the stick and you should have a nice loop.

Thread the other end of the wire through the loop. You should be able to tighten the snare by pulling on one end.

Engine
You’ll want to set up your snare near some type of tree or shrub. A young tree is always a good engine because it’s bendable and quick to snap back into place.

You’ll be bending the sapling over and tying it down to the snare in order to act as tension. If you find yourself in an area void of trees or shrubs, you can always use dead weights like rocks.

Trigger
The trigger consists of two parts: The hook and the leading line. The leading line connects the trigger to the engine – usually a wire of some sort.

The trigger is connected to the noose and should tighten very quickly when pulled by the engine.

You can build an effective trigger by finding two pieces of wood and carving interlocking notches into the sides of each. The base of the trigger should be sturdy and stay in the ground. The hook in the trigger should be able to slip out at the slightest touch, so that if an animal passes through the noose, the trigger will slip out and tighten up by being pulled with the engine.

You can also modify the trigger to connect directly to a fishing line. When the fish pulls on the bait, the trigger will release and the engine will tug on the fish – hooking it in. However, you have to be careful not to have an engine that pulls too hard and rips right out of the fish’s mouth.

Here are a few different options when building a trigger:

Carved Trigger. This trigger is very effective but requires a knife or some type of carving utensil.

Y Trigger. This trigger is great when you’re stuck without a knife or carving tool. You can simply find two sticks and roughen the two edges.

Peg Style Trigger. Rather than having a base that sticks into the ground, you can stick a peg into a nearby log, tree or stump. This also allows you to apply bait to the peg.

Oregon Sheriff says he won't enforce new gun laws

The sheriff said he took an oath to support the Constitution, and laws preventing citizens from owning certain semi-automatic firearms and ammunition magazines would violate their rights.

"We are Americans," Mueller wrote. "We must not allow, nor shall we tolerate, the actions of criminals, no matter how heinous the crimes, to prompt politicians to enact laws that will infringe upon the liberties of responsible citizens who have broken no laws."

The sheriff figures Biden probably won't even receive his letter, but "it needed to be said, so I said it."

"I tried to be as respectful as possible, but I also needed to get my point across," Mueller said. (read the full story)

 

95 Yr. Old Tells Obama–“Get Bent”

Harold, please don’t use your age as an excuse to tell Obama what you think. You may be 95, but the words you wrote, are speaking for those who no longer have a say in our Country. Those who fought and died the rights we cherish. Those, who if they lived today, would not be content to Tweet of write a Blog article (like this one). 

Today, in our country, the issue of black, white or beige,  is no longer a problem.  The only color problem is when a man chooses yellow -  over red, white and blue.  There seems to be a lot of that going on lately.  Fortunately for us, Harold Estes, is willing to stand up and speak his mind.  I think Red, White and Blue runs through his veins.  Maybe the rest of us could use a transfusion.
 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

“Dear President Obama,

My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don’t believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.

I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos’n Mate. Now I live in a “rest home” located on the western end of Pearl Harbor , allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.

One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.

So here goes.

I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.

I can’t figure out what country you are the president of.

You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:
” We’re no longer a Christian nation”
” America is arrogant”
– (Your wife even announced to the world,” America is mean-spirited. ” Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our
war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.)

I’d say shame on the both of you, but I don’t think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.

After 9/11 you said,” America hasn’t lived up to her ideals.”

Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War? I hope you didn’t mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we stand for freedom.

I don’t think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.

Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man.

Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don’t, I’ll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue . You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.

And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don’t want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts , who was putting up a fight? You don’t mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don’t want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.

One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you’re the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you’re not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you’re thinking of.

You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.

You’re not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That’s not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now.

And I sure as hell don’t want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle…

Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes
