Mike Vanderboegh addressed Eric Holder again today.
The article was a little more troubling than usual for me. Not because what he said doesn't need saying, heavens no:
I write to you today with the same desire to avoid conflict, and precisely because the threat of accidental causation is there, I will speak as bluntly to you now as Bob did then to the FBI. We do not have time for faux politeness and insincere pretence. For we are potentially, thanks to your employees and their reputation over the past twenty or more years, on the brink of a spasm of violence unlike anything this country has ever seen.
If they are worth what you are paying them, your analysts must be telling you how dangerous is the mood in this country right now. And if their reports are not reaching you, then certainly the monthly tallies of firearm and ammunition sales are.
...
Eric, it doesn't take a social scientist to understand that things are quickly going to get out of hand unless somebody pulls back from the brink.
Not to put too fine a point on it, Eric, but that somebody is you. YOU are the nation’s highest-ranking law enorcement official. YOU must restrain your employees from illegal actions. YOU must get a handle on not only out-of-control agencies like the ATF, but the entire panoply of Federal law enforcement agencies. And, most importantly, YOU must reassure us that you will return these agencies to the rule of law and the constitutional restraints that the Founders put in place.
That is vintage Vanderboegh (who I've discussed before). He's always prickly, and in a way that is much needed if we are to have any hope of a discussion that actually means something. But go--read the whole thing. There's a lot more. Maybe it will stick out at you like it did at me.
What's troubling is that Mike's tone sounds like a man deliberately putting his affairs in order.
Anyone who has followed the man's writing for a while knows he scrupulously insists on "no Fort Sumters", which suggests that he probably believes that the control freaks are going to do something stupid to set off the powderkeg themselves--whether intentionally or simply through negligence. (I know for a sight there's a lot of people out there that will not believe any official story that implicates him as an instigator. His history would make that fantastically implausible.)
Guess we'll find out what happens. I can't imagine that it could be made any clearer than Mike makes it here. He wants peace, but he'll insist on liberty if forced to pick between the two.

In Yellow, you're just aware and alert, but haven't spotted a specific antagonist. I might have to fight today. In Orange, your awareness is heightened and you have identified your antagonist. Chances of coincidence are dropping. I might have to fight him today, maybe right now. You are looking for a way to stop the fight before it begins, whether by escape or by superior show of force. But if it's forced upon you, you're ready.
Comments
No matter who actually starts it, or how it happens, the gov. and MSM will manage to massage it into what it is not... but hopefully this time it won't matter as it did with Waco. Too few will believe them, and a great many won't let that stop them from doing what must be done.
I'm with Mike.

Mike V. MamaLiberty. Triptyx Myself. Many out here tired of the games they have been playing with out liberties, our heritage. Who knows when they will cross that line but this isn't going to 'just go away' this time. I am with Mike also. Unorganized that we are, we are still a force to be reckoned with.
“Stand your ground. Don't fire unless fired upon. But if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.”
Can't talk about my plans should the flag go up or the Waco killers be set loose again.
Trouble is those government analysts know that the way to protect their cushy jobs is to tell the powers that be what they want to hear, that the common folk are just making noise and will fold when pressed. The truth might get them laughed at, demoted, or even fired, so they continue to spin this fantasy that government is all powerful and the tea party malcontents are just a passing and limited anomaly. Government analysis is always 20/20 in hindsight after it's too late to prevent whatever tragedy has just occurred. That's when they wring their hands and wail, "oh we should have known this would happen! We should have seen it coming!"
I keep hearing certain people in the patriot community say that the Elite wants a war with the American people so they can have an excuse to bring in foreign troops.
I personally don’t believe the Elite wants a war with the American people; I think it would be paramount to suicide for them
I look for another false flag event so the Elite can blame it on terrorism. Then I believe the Government will shut the power off and keep the people from communicating over the net.
Some say the government wants to take over the net and while that’s true it would wake up millions. I think a false flag event would be more useful to the Elite than direct action
I also think we need a massive patriot communication system set up for rapid response.
P.S. if it does hit the fan don’t forget the liars in the press
Ground zero for the ultimate destruction of the American Constitutional Republic occurred when the federal congress colluded with the non-federal, privately-owned, intentionally-misnamed Federal Reserve Bank and enacted the 16th amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
At that point Americans became security for unlimited credit to the Federal Reserve Bank.
The debt incurred is now so massive as to be unfathomable in numbers. Much of it has been sold as interest debt to foreign countries, many foreign debt holders are now concerned of America’s ability to repay.
The ongoing nationalization of American industries is in effect a hostile takeover by the bankers of the entire federal government, thus the entire American society.
The so-called national health care plan is effectively a hostile takeover of every person’s Life.
Without rescinding the power of direct taxation, no control over government can ever be achieved.

FYI’s right on the money on that one.
G. Edward Griffin’s Creature from Jekyll Island might help awaken some to the facts.
Ron Paul has more than a few words to say about the so-called Federal Reserve.
Google up Eustace Mullins and Ezra Pound for Secrets of the Federal Reserve.
Jim Marrs also has books on the subject.
Expected another post by FYI to make the connections between who’s running the show, the patsies and pawns in government and gun control.
Got my opinions on all of it.
When it comes to government, I’m guessing this whole thing really got out of control when the gold standard was no longer used to back up issue of debtor’s notes and stuff representing money became pure fiat currency. With computers, wealth is even less than tangible, zeroes and ones in databanks.
Making sense out of all this is about like thinking a box of corn flakes is a jig-saw puzzle and trying to put the flakes together to make the puzzle look like the rooster on the box.
The Founder’s knew what had to be guarded against to keep government by and for the people.
The power to tax is exactly how the fed. gov't 's has destroyed the nation.
The U.S. Constitution sets the guidelines for powers allowed to federal gov't. The amendments declare existing rights and in part state what the gov't. can’t legally do.
Nearly ( but not all ) acts from the federal level outside the boundaries of powers afforded to it are factors contributing to the dire straits Americans are in right now.
Gov’t enacted prohibition on alcohol and created criminals, then when the people demanded they do something about the gangsters, they made it illegal to own machine guns without federal registration and permits under the dep‘t of treasury. Once they’d violated the Second Amendment, it made it all the easier for them to add more acts and laws from the federal level.
The heads of all the major gun control organizations are now in it for the money.
Gov’t doesn’t need an excuse to empower itself, but these gun control organizations give government so-called ’reasons’ for more gun control laws.
A handgun ban couldn’t be enacted, so they went after semi-automatic firearms based on features and called them ’assault weapons’.
I think that’s when a lot of people’s heads came up out of the sand and realized that if gov’t could ’ban’ any firearm on a federal level, they could enact ’bans’ on any type of firearm.
When those in local gov’t in New Orleans panicked and ordered gun confiscations, and leo’s from all over the country carried out illegal acts, any delusion on the part of Americans as to whether or not gov’t would or wouldn’t disarm law-abiding citizens ended.
That’s part of where we’re at now.
What got my attention about Mike Vanderboegh is that he’s said, and is still saying what absolutely must be said, but never should have been made necessary.
Anyone in government has the best excuse there is to say “No” to any new gun control laws.
All that’s necessary to do is to point to state or the federal constitutions and tell anyone that wants more gun control laws enacted that it’s a violation of the right of Americans to keep and bear arms and the constitutions forbid it.
Simple really.
3% is all it takes.
