Get ready to have your world turned upside down. Remember, piece by piece, a little bit at a time, it's been going on since long before the Obama administration. But Obama and his communist minions are preparing to bring it to conclusion. Several very recent developments, taken together, can not be ignored.
First, DHS (Dept. of Homeland Security) has been stocking up on HOLLOW POINT ammo. See here: http://commonsenseandcircumstance.blogspot.com/2012/04/what-does-dhs-need-with-450-million.html
Now, they have opened bidding on acquiring 7 thousand select fire weapons billed as AR15's, which is deceptive nomenclature. A full auto capable AR15 is an M4 or M16, depending on barrel length. This is Homeland Security folks, not the U.S. Army, or your state National Guard. And the military does NOT use hollow point rounds. See here: http://www.examiner.com/article/homeland-security-seeking-to-purchase-7-000-assault-rifles
Hold on to your hats... Secondly, over the last several nights, the U.S. military, in conjunction with the Miami P.D. has been holding training exercises over and IN downtown Miami. With Blackhawk helicoptors flying down the streets firing blank rounds! They claim it's for preparation in case these units are deployed overseas. Yeah, right. Last time I checked, Kabul was nothing like Miami.
Here's the irrefutable proof : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri9ioCbqJCU
The first section of the following cannot be proven at this time, however, ask yourself - does this fit with what I've just seen above? 2009 Nobel Peace Prize nominee Jim Garrow claims :
“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,” Garrow wrote on his
Facebook page, later following up the post by adding the man who told
him is, “one of America’s foremost military heroes,” whose goal in
divulging the information was to “sound the alarm.”
This is fact:
Concerns over US troops being given orders to fire on American
citizens in the event of mass gun confiscation first arose in 1995 when
hundreds of Marines at 29 Palms, California were given a survey as part
of an academic project by Navy Lieutenant Commander Ernest Guy
Cunningham which asked the Marines if they would, “Fire upon U.S.
citizens who refuse or resist confiscation of firearms banned by the
United States government.”
The survey was subsequently leaked because many of the Marines who
took it were shocked by the tone of the question. The US Military has
clearly outlined innumerable civil emergency scenarios under which
troops would be authorized to fire on U.S. citizens. In July 2012, the
process by which this could take place was made clear in a leaked US
Army Military Police training manual for “Civil Disturbance
Operations” (PDF)
dating from 2006. Similar plans were also outlined in an updated manual
released in 2010 entitled FM 3-39.40 Internment and Resettlement
Operations. The 2006 document outlines how military assets will be
used to “help local and state authorities to restore and maintain law
and order” in the event of mass riots, civil unrest or a declaration of
martial law.
On page 20 of the manual, rules regarding the use of “deadly force”
in confronting “dissidents” on American soil are made disturbingly clear
with the directive that a, “Warning shot will not be fired.” See entire article here:
http://www.teaparty.org/obama-asks-military-leaders-if-they-will-fire-on-us-citizens-19039/
We have not experienced war IN our country since 1865. Civil war is the last thing we want here. War is hell on earth. War is ugly. YOUR best friend may die, YOUR wife and children may be killed, YOU may end up in a wheelchair. YOUR house may be a pile of rubble.
The only positive point I can see in this is that Obama may get a surprise if / when he actually orders troops to fire on American citizens on American soil. It won't matter what the ladder climbing / ass kissing Generals order, I don't think the majority of American soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines are going to comply.
Unfortunately, at this point, I am beginning to think the only way to avert this is if Congress SOUNDLY defeats the gun ban / grab bills that are beginning to appear now. If, for example, the Feinstein bill is passed, (which will require fingerprinting, additional background checks and taxes on the owner of ANY semi-automatic weapon, rifle or pistol) there is going to be mass disobedience.
If you don't want to see the above happen, I strongly suggest when you leave here you immediately send an email to your Senators and Representatives.
God help us all,

GOVERNMENT GONE WILD
Insanity in government at all levels has now become the norm. Just one mornings news illustrates this perfectly.
1. Martha Boneta, a Virginia small farmer, is fined $5,000 for having 8 ten year olds at a birthday party on her farm without having a permit for an "event". Then they fined her another $5k for hosting a pumpkin carving event for kids back in October. Sounds unbelievable doesn't it? See here:
http://reason.com/blog/2012/08/13/virginia-farmer-party-tomatoes-fined
2. PETA has succeeded in forcing the federal government to stop using chimps in medical research. So what are they doing with them? Sending over 100 of them into a 200 acre Chimp Haven park, where they will be cared for, including....wait for it.....live band events. At a cost of $13,000 each per year. That's your tax money, people.
3. A Philadelphia 5th grader searched, berated, humiliated in front of her class, and suspended, for having a piece of paper that was torn in the shape of a pistol. This is a stretch in itself, see the picture and story here:
http://www.inquisitr.com/492410/paper-gun-at-school-prompts-suspension-of-philadelphia-girl/
All this in just one morning's news. Add in the Supreme Court's decision upholding a Connecticut city's "right" to confiscate private property to build, not a highway or utility right of way, but a mall. Because they'll get more tax money from a mall than private homes. 30 armed IRS agents raiding a small Arkansas bottling company and holding all the employees hostage AT GUNPOINT for several hours, the kid drug from elementary school in handcuffs and expelled because his mother put a butterknife in his bagged lunch so he could spread peanut butter or something on his sandwich, the Idaho couple fined thousands of dollars PER DAY for attempting to build a house on their lot, which was in the middle of a development, and never designated as any kind of protected wetland, and on and on and on and on. Hundreds of cases of idiocy perpetrated by government employees of one sort or another. (Yes, I consider school employees to be government employees, your taxes pay 100% of education costs.)
How in God's name did we get here? Do you have to flunk an IQ test to get a government job? How have we gotten to the point where extremism is normal and common sense is so uncommon it's remarkable?

BENGHAZI HEARING - DISGUSTING DISPLAY
I have had the distinct displeasure of being able to listen / watch the Senate testimony of Hillary Clinton on the Benghazi fiasco this morning. No wonder Congress can't get anything done. I have never seen such a public display of mutual masturbation in my life. The committee chairman's opening statement was over 5 solid minutes of gushing ass kissing. Thank you Secretary Clinton for your sacrificial service to your country. Thank you Secretary Clinton for this, thank you Secretary Clinton for that. On and on for over 5 minutes. When that was finally over and an actual question posed, her opening statement was 3 minutes of praising the Chairman.
Well, I thought, thank God that's over with let's get some answers now. Wrong. Every single Senator, Democrat and Republican alike, spent at least an entire minute, many much more than that, praising Clinton before they asked their question.
And the questions? Bullshit. Every one of them for over an hour and 30 minutes. Finally then, John McCain asked the first hard question. Which was glossed over, redirected back at Congress, and never really answered. At the hour and 45 minute mark, Rand Paul was the only one who finally confronted her and asked a few of the questions that really need to be answered. And it was the same crap. Blame Congress for lack of funding. Outright lying when confronted by Paul. Claimed they had NO access to video camera footage until weeks after the attack, when those videos were available openly on the Internet only days later. Denied that assistance was denied. Contrary to many, many reports of air and ground support available within 45 minutes, claimed we had no assets in Africa. OK, that may or may not be a true statement. Carriers off the coast don't count apparently. Aviano in Italy, only an hour or so away for jets, doesn't count. Claimed she had no knowledge of weapons being shuttled to the Syrian rebels via Turkey out of Benghazi. Denied, ignored, misdirected. That's what most of her answers did. Except for twice when she said "see the classified briefing". She did take responsibility for the fiasco, while at the same time saying she didn't know what was happening.
Big deal, what's that mean? She's already on the way out, Kerry is going to replace her. Oh, and by the way, over 4 months later, not one State Dept. employee has lost their job over this atrocity. 4 have been put on administrative leave. With full pay, of course.
Congress is AWOL, and on our dime.

TRUTH IS......
To borrow a phrase popular amongst the younger generation : TRUTH IS. Well, just exactly what is truth? Truth is an eternal entity. It stands alone. It's not male or female, doesn't favor one side or another. It doesn't change depending on what you think or feel. It does not change over time. It just is.
I am still amazed at the wisdom of our founding fathers. They didn't have the scientific knowledge we have today, didn't have instant communications, didn't even have indoor plumbing. But what they did have was a thorough understanding of history, and therefore, human nature. They understood how the lust for power and money corrupts the souls of men.
So here's a little history course for you today:
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” – Benjamin Franklin
“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States.” -Noah Webster
“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” - Thomas Jefferson
“… rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our own will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law,’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual” - Thomas Jefferson
“When governments fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny.” – Thomas Jefferson
“A nation of well informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins.” – Benjamin Franklin
And perhaps the most relevant one for today:
“I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of freedoms of the people by gradual and silent encroachment of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” – James Madison
So here we are in the Amerika of the 21'st century. Motorcycle helmet laws, seat belt laws, bicycle helmet laws, child safety seat laws, hate crimes laws, zoning laws that won't let you put up a shed or fly the American flag, affirmative action / discrimination laws, pollution laws, OSHA laws, gun registration laws, tax laws, and on and on ad nauseum.
One small piece at a time. Now they are going to try and take the biggest freedom away. The freedom to defend your life. Defend your life not only from criminals, but from their tyranny.
Once again I challenge you to get involved in your own future. It won't take you any more time to write a letter to your Congressmen and Senators than it has to read this post. Ah, the wonders of modern technology. You can find the info on how to / where to send them through the link at the top of this blog. Be a part of the solution, not part of the problem. (Apathy)

ARE WE BEING MANIPULATED AGAIN?
The video below is truly one of the most disturbing things I have seen in many years. Even worse than the 30 armed IRS agent gestapo raid on a little Arkansas water bottling company.
Let me reiterate my philosophy before you start calling me names. "Question everything, believe nothing until proven without a doubt". That said, my first reaction upon seeing the title of this video was "yeah, right, another friggin kook". I seldom watch videos if they're more than 4 or 5 minutes long. My internet connections are slow, I get fed up with watching 30 seconds and waiting 2 minutes while another 30 or 60 seconds loads. But 2 or 3 minutes into this, I was hooked, and watched the entire 30 minutes. I predict the same for most of you.
I am going to say now, before you watch it, that there are certainly individual elements that COULD have been faked / hacked in one way or another. Or not. I'll let you decide. I myself have many questions I want answered. I will be doing more research on this topic, stay tuned.

FREEDOM, WHAT FREEDOM?
To my liberal leaning friends, please, please take the time to follow all of this through. Check the links I'm providing here, the proof of what I've been saying is out there. An empire doesn't fail overnight, unless by war. It happens one small step at a time. While the populace shrugs it's collective shoulders, because, after all, it's just one little thing. I couldn't possibly list all the freedoms we have lost in the last 30 or so years, it would take the rest of my lifetime to do all the research. But I have written about a very few of them in the past, see here: http://commonsenseandcircumstance.blogspot.com/2011/12/how-bad-is-economy-and-will-america.html
Now, things are getting much worse quickly. This is what your government will do for you. This will absolutely blow your mind, you MUST watch this :

Remember how everyone wanted to just ignore what was happening in Germany? That Churchill was one of the very few predicting what was going to happen? That people suffered from wishful, and "that just can't happen" thinking? So what are we doing in this country today? They refuse to call terrorists terrorists, now they are "insurgents" or any other word they can come up with. Refuse to acknowledge that the majority of Muslims want to rule the world, including America, and have a plan in place to accomplish that, without outright war, through political machinations right here at home.
How the majority of our voters just refuse to see the destination the Democratic party is leading us to? Not that the damn Republicans are much better in what they're doing, but at least the last thing they want is communism. We can fix their crap, we can't fix anything when the Dems succeed in getting the Constitution amended so many times it's unrecognizable as the original document.
If you care about your country and your children and grandchildren's futures, please care enough to start doing something about it.

CONGRESS DOES IT AGAIN
This past month has been a perfect example of why we're in the deep fiscal trouble we are in.
Just as last year, Congress couldn't come up with a budget plan acceptable to both parties, so they put off paying the piper with another temporary "fix". What was that "fix"? $600 billion in tax hikes with only $15 billion in spending cuts. Looked at another way, $41.00 in tax hikes for every $1.00 in cuts. At LEAST $614 million in direct pork barrel spending added. $222 million for rum producers, 59 mil to subsidize algae growers, 78 mil for Nascar to build new tracks, 7 mil for electric motorcycle makers, and my favorite.... 248 mil subsidy for Hollywood to make movies here instead of overseas. Hmmm, let's see, last time I checked, the movie studios were making money hand over fist and alcohol sales were higher than ever. (Maybe due to people trying, at least temporarily, to forget the financial situation they're in?)
And that's not to mention the few billion in tax breaks for giant financial institutions. That's right, the very ones that put us into the housing crises and these financial doldrums in the first place.
Demonstrating once again the single biggest problem with politics today. Putting greed and reelection ahead of the good of the country. Rewarding campaign donors with tax breaks. Fear of offending any voters with spending cuts. And what are they talking about doing when they return to actually start to solve the spending cut? "Entitlements", which in their minds is Social Security and Medicare. They never mention the "welfare" giveaways. I recently saw a report that the typical American family today is better off making 28k / year and taking advantage of all the government subsidies (food stamps, heating oil, etc. etc. etc.) than to make $60k per year and pay taxes, healthcare, and so on.) No sir, it's that huge Social Security liability they want to cut. The program that we've paid into all our lifetimes and that they stole the money out of to pay for other stuff for years and years. Not to mention granting disability to anyone who's managed to become so obese they can't even walk more than a couple of dozen yards. If you doubt me on this, I challenge you to sit in a Wal-mart, mall, or shopping center parking lot and observe those using the handicap spots.
Lord, when do we wise up? We just had an opportunity to clean out this den of iniquity and what did we do? Reelect 75 / 85 per cent of incumbents. When will the majority of us wise up? I predict it won't be until chaos slaps them right upside the head when the U.S. government goes bankrupt because no one, not even the Chinese, will buy our debt.
