Military & Govt. oath: Defend the US Constitution against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC


   We hold these Truths to be self-evident...

Among hundreds of writers, I’ve documented overwhelming evidence that the US is waging illegal Wars of Aggression, the worst crime a nation can commit. I’ve also documented the OBVIOUS lies political “leadership” from both parties told and still tell to justify these campaigns for empire. I’ve given historical context of Abraham Lincoln doing the same as a freshman in Congress pointing out the OBVIOUS lies justifying invasion of Mexico. 

The Left and Right arms of the one oligarchic political body will not prosecute each other, of course. These politicians are not merely lying sacks of spin; their crimes are treason against the United States because they’ve killed over 5,000 American troops. They betray their oath of office to protect and defend the US Constitution each and every day. Some of us suggest Truth and Reconciliation (T&R) as a strategy to peel-away people who are want to safely provide information to restore the US Constitution and American values.
 
Here’s the short and sweet point: once the facts of our government’s “leaders” are revealed (and you’d damn better do your research if you call yourself a citizen), then every man and woman who’s sworn an oath to protect and defend the US Constitution against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC, must act to incapacitate those who violate the Constitution. Laws are supposed to be as easy to understand as rules in sports because they’re meant to be obeyed. The US currently has fascist policies such as invading countries who pose no threat, torture, indefinite imprisonment, $2.3 trillion of our dollars “missing” from the Department of Defense: these are OBVIOUS violations against the Constitution that kills millions and destroys the joy of life from the rest of us.
 
This message doesn’t get much clearer than the one you’re reading. I know embracing these facts is painful. But either stand up for the Constitution or God help you; the oligarchs stripping our nation will not.
 
The Los Angeles Times reported on a group, “Oathkeepers,”  who request all men and women in military and government to understand and keep their oath to the Constitution. Oathkeepers promise to disobey the following ten orders (military law may also require to arrest those who issue un-constitutional orders):
 
1. We will NOT obey orders to disarm the American people.
2. We will NOT obey orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people.
3. We will NOT obey orders to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or to subject them to military tribunal.
4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a “state of emergency” on a state.
5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty.
6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps.
7. We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext.
8. We will NOT obey orders to assist or support the use of any foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people to “keep the peace” or to “maintain control."
9. We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies.
10. We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances.
 
I leave you with two quotes and a video. The first quote is from General Washington, the second from Cicero, and then a powerful and artistically brilliant 10-minute video from PuppetGov.
 
As always, please share this article with all who say they support the rule of law under the US Constitution. If you appreciate my work, please subscribe by clicking under the article title (it’s free).
 
“The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed, and themselves consigned to a state of wretchedness from which no human efforts will deliver them. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission.” – George Washington, Address to the Continental Army before the Battle of Long Island (27 August 1776)
 
“On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammeled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains.”
- Marcus Tullius Cicero, On Duties: The Extremes of Good and Evil, 44 BCE, translated by H. Rackham (1914).

    as an oathkeeper, I know that the Obombaton's plan to declare Martial Law and disarm the population WILL NOT STAND!

    In 2000 when I warned people of what was to come most thought I was just a nut case. But I knew who Bush and Cheney were and what they would be capable of. I warned of the PNAC and the Pearl Harbor event to come. When Americans wake up and see they are an occupied contry where nearly everything is controlled by Zionists, who control the Governement, the economy, the banks, the Main Stream Media, the Military and so much more. For 9 years it has been a nightmare. Many have sprung up to warn us. Some I know have been driven out of the country, arms broken, lives destroyed, a few have been killed.
    When it became so obvious that the Military was not going to stand up to Bush, why would we expect them against Obama? The President and Congress are not the TOP of the chain of who really runs America. They weeded out many of the Military who did had backbones from the top leadership. We were beaten before most knew it happened. I was no chicken little, nor did I cry wolf! I tried

    Gekokujo:
    The national essence of the United States of America, as a land of the people, exists in the fact that the We the People reign with undiminished power from the time of our Revolution into the farthest future in order that the natural beauty of the country may be propagated throughout the universe, so that all men and women under the sun may enjoy their lives to the fullest extent…

    In recent years however, there have appeared many persons whose chief aim and purpose have been to amass personal material wealth, disregarding the general welfare and prosperity of the American people, with the result that the sovereignty of the Republic has been greatly impaired. These people of the United States of America have suffered deeply as a result of this tendency and many vexing issues now confronting America are attributable to this fact.

    Gekokujo part II:
    The administration, the senior statesmen, military cliques, plutocrats, bureaucrats and political parties are all traitors who are destroying the national essence…

    It is our duty to remove the evil retainers from around the Hallowed Halls of the Republic and to smash the group of senior statesmen. It is our duty as subjects of the Republic to defend our Constitution.

    May God bless and help us in our endeavor to save the land of our ancestors from the worst that confronts it.

    Daily we submit to hypocrisy and lies,
    While national honor lingering dies.
    Arise ye! O patriots, arise!
    Onward we march, defying death!
    Come prison bars! Come gory death!

    We should not be afraid to die for a just and noble cause. Why are we afraid to die? America! Fight for it her peoples, fight for it. If you love her, defend her. Others have given their lives before when she was just an idea.

    Stop saying "I told you so!" and "We should do something!" and "The Government is lying!", instead, lay out a plan to take our country back. First, we need to educate our military WHAT THE CONSTITUTION IS. Push military leaders to educate their troops, and if they don't, educate them yourself. Send them all a letter, go to a base and speak to them. Next, educate the People of what's going on. Hand out flyers at grocery stores, post-offices, busy city street corners. And last, organize a revolt. Get numbers and go meet the enemy. You know where they are ! They aren't hiding ! Don't just sit there behind your computer, go out and lead yourself to victory ! Good luck, I will be there by your side on the battlefield.

    Austin: I will continue my work in education through writing. I fully support educating our military (and everyone) that these wars are unlawful and the Constitution is under attack.

    A “revolt”? How exactly? Meet the enemy where? What kind of battle do you advocate?

    Carl, great article btw. Final phase you ask? If tomorrow we got 1 per cent of all Americans to come to D.C. , that would be 3 million people knocking on the White House's door. We all know how corrupt and full of lies our "leaders" are, they regularly ignore public opinion and get away with it every time. We the People would say: "You, you and you have proven to be corrupt and are now fired. You, you and you are connected to Trilateral Commission, Halliburton or Monsanto and are also fired. The rest of you, better knock this crap off NOW." The problem is, our uneducated military would back the politicians and put down the uprising. We need to show them where their loyalty lies (=with the Constitution, not the President) so we need to fix that problem first like i laid out previously. All it takes to fix our government is for the People to say NO MORE. Plz email me at austinsinbox@hotmail.com , i have a letter i want to show you, Carl. Thanks !

    Search Noack vs YMCA...!!!!!!! (but don't pay any attention to the "official" version, as the courts have been lying)

    A poor pro se plaintiff got rudely drummed out of both federal district court AND the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals contrary to the evidence, the Law & the legal precedents involved.

    The man has been living in a tent, showed proof of perjury, lying to the labor board, withholding evidence (against both fed Law & court orders), false testimony, and absolute proof of employer guilt (admitted by his boss in emails). Yet, the courts disregarded & downplayed the evidence & let him be run out via "summary judgment" w/o a jury trial in utter violation of the 7th Amendment!!

    The man, w/o a lawyer, has Petitioned the Supreme Court, trusting God prayerfully.
    This has all apparently been snubed by the media & at least one local paper had an editor on the opponent's BoD.
    Meanwhile, the man has lost pretty much everything & lives in a tent (almost for 3 years now) as the crooks have no interest in doing what's right it seems. - And its a YMCA that's involved! - And the man has even presented sworn testimony about evidence-tampering but the 5th Circuit refused to so much as accept the man's documents - sent them all back & refused to ensure accurate hearing transcripts (but which are required by Law).

    Email you politicians, the news, etc. and help the poor man out, okay?
    God bless America!
    And God bless those who do good!

    This comment is off-topic from the US military and government upholding their Oaths to end unlawful wars, torture, and other obvious Constitutional abuse. I would have deleted the comment on Noack v YMCA for that reason, but Examiner.com's delete function is reporting as unavailable at this time.
