Ban guns, and only outlaws and criminals will have them.
In Uncategorized on February 17, 2011 at 10:12 amDEPORT HER TO AMERICA!
The Rambo Granny of Melbourne , Australia
Gun-toting granny Ava Estelle, 81, was so ticked-off when two thugs raped her 18-year-old granddaughter that she tracked the unsuspecting ex-cons down… And shot off their testicles.
“The old lady spent a week hunting those men down and, when she found them, she took revenge on them in her own special way,” said Melbourne police investigator Evan Delp.
Then she took a taxi to the nearest police station, laid the gun on the sergeant’s desk and told him as calm as could be: “Those bastards will never rape anybody again, by God.”
Cops say convicted rapist and robber Davis Furth, 33, lost both his penis and his testicles when outraged Ava opened fire with a 9-mm pistol in the hotel room where he and former prison cell mate Stanley Thomas, 29, were holed up.
The wrinkled avenger also blew Thomas’ testicles to kingdom come, but doctors managed to save his mangled penis, police said. “The one guy, Thomas, didn’t lose his manhood, but the doctor I talked to said he won’t be using it the way he used to,” Detective Delp told reporters. “Both men are still in pretty bad shape, but I think they’re just happy to be alive after what they’ve been through.”
The Rambo Granny swung into action August 21 after her granddaughter Debbie was carjacked and raped in broad daylight by two knife-wielding creeps in a section of town bordering on skid row.
“When I saw the look on my Debbie’s face that night in the hospital, I decided I was going to go out and get those bastards myself ’cause I figured the Law would go easy on them,”‘ recalled the retired library worker. ” And I wasn’t scared of them, either – because I’ve got me a gun and I’ve been shootin’ all my life. And I wasn’t dumb enough to turn it in when the law changed about owning one.”
So, using a police artist’s sketch of the suspects and Debbie’s description of the sickos, tough-as-nails Ava spent seven days prowling the wino-infested neighborhood where the crime took place till she spotted the ill-fated rapists entering their flophouse hotel.
“I knew it was them the minute I saw ’em, but I shot a picture of ’em anyway and took it back to Debbie and she said sure as hell, it was them,” the oldster recalled…
“So I went back to that hotel and found their room and knocked on the door, and the minute the big one opened the door, I shot ’em right square between the legs, right where it would really hurt ’em most, you know. Then I went in and shot the other one as he backed up pleading to me to spare him. Then I went down to the police station and turned myself in.”
Now, baffled lawmen are trying to figure out exactly how to deal with the vigilante granny. “What she did was wrong, and she broke the law, but it is difficult to throw an 81-year-old woman in prison,” Det. Delp said, “especially when 3 million people in the city want to nominate her for Mayor.”
DEPORT HER TO AMERICA – WE NEED HER!

Australian Gun Law Update
Here’s a thought to warm some of your hearts….
From: Ed Chenel, A police officer in Australia
Hi Yanks, I thought you all would like to see the real figures from Down Under.
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars.
The first year results are now in:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2 percent,
Australia-wide, assaults are up 9.6 percent;
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. (Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not and criminals still possess their guns!)
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since the criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.
There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly, while the resident is at home.
Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in ‘successfully ridding Australian society of guns….’ You won’t see this on the American evening news or hear your governor or members of the State Assembly disseminating this information.
The Australian experience speaks for itself. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Take note Americans, before it’s too late!
Will you be one of the sheeple to turn yours in? WHY? You will need it.
FORWARD TO EVERYONE ON YOUR EMAIL LIST. [I DID]
DON’T BE A MEMBER OF THE SILENT MAJORITY.
BE ONE OF THE VOCAL MINORITY WHO WON ‘T STAND FOR NONSENSE
The Patriot Act is a direct attack on the 4th amendment
In American Sovereign on February 10, 2011 at 10:17 amFebruary 10, 2011
Dear Darrel,
It definitely sent them reeling.
Unfortunately, much like the villains in horror movies, unconstitutional legislation is tough to kill and has a habit of coming back before you know it.
A vote is likely later today on the “PATRIOT” Act extension.
Please, contact Rep. Sam Graves at (202) 225-7041 right away and send a clear message that any vote in support of the “PATRIOT Act” is unacceptable.
They tried to sneak it through under a suspension of the rules in their “PATRIOT” Act sneak attack. But since you and I beat them Tuesday, their cover is blown.
However, in another round of political maneuvering, Republicans rammed H.R. 514, the bill to extend three provisions of the “PATRIOT” Act through December 8, 2011, through the House Rules Committee Wednesday afternoon during an “emergency” session.
The rules that passed are set up so there is almost no debate, absolutely no amendments, and no points of order against the bill or any of its provisions.
The manner in which the government is going about its effort to renew these expiring provisions is despicable.
In fact, the Republican leadership is acting exactly like the Obama Administration in its dedication to ram this extension down the American People’s throats despite widespread opposition.
Your efforts helped to keep two thirds of the House from supporting the extension. Now I need your commitment to double down on the pressure.
A vote could take place as early as today on this Bill of Rights-shredding legislation.
The liberty movement must stand up to the surveillance state by flooding the House’s offices with phone calls, faxes, and emails.
Please, contact Rep. Sam Graves at (202) 225-7041 right away to send a clear message that any vote in support of the “PATRIOT Act” is unacceptable.
By the end of this week, everyone in the U.S. House needs to know they will have to answer for trampling on the Fourth Amendment if they vote to throw your civil liberties out the window because it’s supposedly the “politically popular” thing to do.
In Liberty,
A conversation between sovereigns
In American Sovereign on February 8, 2011 at 10:41 amThese are some excellent posts I read on a friends facebook page. I think you will enjoy this discussion.
If you don;t believe that you are a slave living in a fascist dictatorship , American, Canadian, UK or most places really try saying no to a cop when he asks you for papers .
….. several entries are skipped here.
I always despise talk of karma and other spiritual matters. It all means NOTHING to a gun in your face. Try to karma your way around being put into a concentration camp by stormtroopers and you’ll wake up to reality. Reality presents itself of ALL levels, including the hell like world of form which we currently are trapped in. Life is a prison, death a release (thanks to the body). You have a job here, to stand up and do what’s right, so you must do it. Also, I would like to know the fairy tale land that allows one to be “done” with the monetary system where money means nothing, because from my vast experience and my vast experience with the choices of others to leave the system, the system will ALWAYS come to force you back into the system again, one way or another with gun toting murderers. Who is paying your property tax? How did you avoid paying a property tax? So then where will you grow your food that you must eat to survive when the stormtroopers come to collect? Do you see my point? So then it comes back to Mika’s extremely simple straightforward truth. And the only way out is the group getting with it and doing as he explained (which they never do), or the few (who are the only ones that get anything done, ever) having to rise up and bear the responsibility that everyone else “dropped the ball” on…
Here, in Ireland, if you dont have ID- you’re arrested, and if your car isnt fully legal, they take it off you.. There are ‘stopchecks’ all over( even on back roads).. Its become ‘zero tolerance’.. I cant afford to drive at the moment & i aint risking having my car took off me, while I’m out with my kids (AGAIN!).. As well as the court fines,i cant afford to pay E180’s day to get my car out the pound.. It never used to be like this, but the country is ‘broke’,- its easy money for the government 
and Ireland was in the head top prosperous economical countries a few years ago I thought . Why are all countries now being put as in some police controlled compound or being treated so harshly? Why are our grown children in the Police Force being so evil to their own people? What has the parents done to have such evil children now?
answer: They were bourgeoisified while growing up by the schools they attended. The government’s politicians are criminals that must be jailed for their crimes !
Wearechange Norwich get them under oath, to uphold the law without fear or favour malice or ill will, and record it, they’re human but don’t always remember
The real problem being the change that has taken place since the civil war. And it has gone completely out of control today. Police were originally a military garrison to keep the south in line in the beginning. Cops never existed in America, or even in Europe (until 1837) for that matter until the banking powers took over after the civil war (the north was funded by the world banking cartels, hence why they were able to outfit their men better than the far wealthier southern forces) – cops are for revenue and property collections – hence the name “cop” – to steal or take… It is an outdated concept to have a “domestic military” (go look up the legal definition of police) garrison in the streets. Naturally it means we are still under a foreign military occupation by foreign private banks (such as the federal reserve) here in America…
I’ve done it twice. They do not like it at all but I simply told them I do not “consent” to their investigation AND asked..?
Are-you-arresting-me-or-charging me-with -a-crime?
When he said no, then I said…”Well, I am a Sovereign natural born American NOT a commercial citizen under corporate policy and have no business with you.
He said he just wanted to know what I was doing?
I said, NOT participating in your investigation 😉
But good luck finding someone who IS committing a crime.
I also reminded him he is hired to defend MY right to be free under the Constitution or is this Nazi Germany?
Amazing how when you put things in perspective, they suddenly “see” have to make a choice to BE American or be the tyrant.
Just gotta flip it back around on them, by showing you KNOW your own worth and authority. You do this by KNOWING the LAW & Ignoring the policy.
You are what they eat IF you find yourself being a sheep 😉
Wolves don’t eat other wolves -or- people who are not scared of them
Sol Fir Well, the interesting part is that police are NOT constitutional. WE the PEOPLE are the executive branch as layed out under the constitution. Something that the current gov’t naturally wants kept quiet. Police only came in after the civil war, and only because the banks took control of the country or what then came to be called the “union” more commonly.
Yes, the people ARE the LAW and it is we, who are or what the law is in effect for. And all servants must be respectful of the law, they just need to be reminded WHAT that actually is..lol, YOU.
As people under the Constitution, most of the older cops (as was my case/incident) still know that they either defend the law and our rights -or- they have no real jurisdiction.
Once they know, that you know the law…they cannot assume anymore.
Until you declare your standing, they as commercial pirates…uh..I mean policy enforcers…uh, cops can assume that your a commercial person under policy statute law (DeFacto- color of law)
Once you declare your standing then they become either peace officers -or- a Security guard of some private corporate interest. Depending on their OWN response to YOUR authority.
The represent “something” which THEY have to define, by words and law. Else they are just a person themselves in a uniform/costume.
An actor…which “I” have the right to assume of them, until THEY prove their otherwise.
@ Thomas-Yes. Aren’t all things spawned by the committees of men this way 😉 But at least America’s Constitution made the people on Superior lawful personal footing than the government, as a group, put in place for the people.
We’re just not using it. The government said, “Let us have YOUR power.” The people said ,”Ok.”
Let us have your gold-ok. Register your kids-ok, pay us to be licensed to drive-ok, pay taxes-ok, pay more taxes-ok, give us title to your kids, your land, your cars, your businesses….laughs….eventually we will say no.
The south has risen…again, finally. Well I for one have 😉
cause I understand how energy fluctuates and that life is a matter of choice! but @ sol you can obey the rulers if you want. I Quit! and can do so much good in the world now they don’t fill my thoughts all the time! Scared? You are the one talking about ooooh guns and oooh they are so mean and bad… well im not scared. I do what i believe in and with concern of others and then my self. It’s called a purpose! I dont hope somebody is gonna save me, nor god, nor people nor earth. I believe im a being that can make a difference and have no regrets loosing my body in the process! Welcome to a man you cannot manipulate! Cause my life is my teacher not what others say… especially not the simplistic system of money haha!
@ Sol…The East India Trading Company-a.k.a. “British rule” has always been pirates, liars and thieves. America, once back under this rule, now does the same thing.
Bullies always lie, always make deals, always use aggression & support it with pay-offs. ( Immunity, power, money, vice of some kind, etc)
Bullies never want you to appeal to the teacher (LAW) because that exposes their “real” motives.
Bullies “always” lie, when questioned.
Bullies always come back with retribution later.
Bullies always think they are above the law.
Bullies always want what you have, will take it by force until YOU stop them…and you do that with “law” or “force”.
I for one…use both. Funny how a gun and knowledge of my 2nd amendment right to carry “despite any unlawful statute to the contrary-applying ONLY to Federal commercial persons and/or contract citizens of Washington D.C.”, will cause other men to “respect” your right to American Sovereignty and self determination.
Now force is not needed except to use against those who would try to take THAT right. That is what the 2nd is for. Not hunting…protection against all enemies foreign AND domestic. Including government. That is WHY they wrote the 2nd to begin with.
I prefer peace….it exists because of men who hold and honour the truth for themselves and others despite man’s best effort to dazzle you with legal B.S. that does not apply unless YOU consent.
Like the joke about a guy getting pulled over by a cop.
The cop sees his rifle in the seat and asks if he has any other weapons. The guy says ,”Yeah, a hand gun in the glove box, a .22 in the door panel and an Ak-47 in the trunk.
The cop says ,”That is quite a lot of guns, what are you afraid of?
The guy answers:” Absolutely nothing.”
The right is to “bear” arms not just possess them.
In American Sovereign, Missouri politics on February 8, 2011 at 9:57 am
I spoke with a staff member of Congressman Graves’ about HR -67 the extension of the Patriot Act this morning.
He was waffling and said there is good and bad in the legislation and Mr. Graves has not decided on the issue.
Please help me convince him to vote no on this affront to American liberties by calling him at (202) 225-7041
It has been rumored that he is thinking of running for Senate in 2012. I think now is a good time to let him know what we expect out of him.

I am a founding member of Oath Keepers
In American Sovereign on February 7, 2011 at 4:29 pmHere is an excellent interview with the founder of Oath Keepers Stewart Rhodes. As it is said, Oath Keepers recommends military and police to stand down when given an illegal order. They do not promote confrontation or violence in any measure.
An Interview With Stewart Rhodes
The founder of Oath Keepers explains his vision and responds to his critics.
Radley Balko | February 7, 2011
When you run down the list of issues the Oath Keepers are worried about, it reads much like a list of concerns from the American Civil Liberties Union. They don’t like warrantless searches. They fear the powers the executive branch has claimed to classify American citizens as enemy combatants, to detain them indefinitely, and to try them before military tribunals. They worry that a large-scale terrorist attack similar to the one on September 11, 2001, could lead to the mass detention of Arab Americans or Muslims, just as Japanese Americans were detained during World War II. They worry about government crackdowns on political speech, protest, and freedom of assembly. Like the ACLU, they are concerned about the Army 3rd Infantry’s 1st Brigade Combat Team, a military unit that is training to deploy domestically in response to terrorist attacks or other national emergencies.
Oath Keepers was founded in 2008 by Stewart Rhodes, a Yale Law School graduate and a former staffer for Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas). Rhodes, 44, labels himself a libertarian or constitutionalist. His organization’s mission is to persuade America’s police officers and soldiers to refuse to carry out orders they believe are unconstitutional. On its website, Oath Keepers lists 10 orders its members will always refuse, including orders to conduct warrantless earches, to disarm the public, to blockade an American city, and “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.” Rhodes says his organization has about 30,000 dues-paying members.
The Oath Keepers are also staunch defenders of the Second Amendment. They worry about the forcible disarming of American citizens, which they say happened after Hurricane Katrina. They fear it could happen again in the event of another terrorist attack or major natural disaster. The Oath Keepers are pro-federalism, vowing not to carry out federal orders that violate state sovereignty. They ground their concerns in reverence for the Constitution, and they frequently cite the American founding as their inspiration. Most of them are conservative or libertarian. Some buy into conspiracy theories about President Obama’s U.S. citizenship, or about the federal government’s complicity in the September 11 terror attacks. Furthermore, they have put themselves in the national spotlight while a Democrat occupies the White House.
These latter positions have drawn suspicion and, at times, outright contempt from leftist groups such as the Southern Poverty Law Center, which lumps Oath Keepers in with militias and hate groups. (The Oath Keepers also have been denounced by conservatives such as Bill O’Reilly and Michelle Malkin.) And in its March/April issue last year, Mother Jones published a scathing exposé that accused the organization of promoting treason.
Reason Senior Editor Radley Balko spoke with Rhodes by phone last month.
Reason: What is the purpose of Oath Keepers?
Rhodes: The mission of Oath Keepers is to persuade the guys with the guns not to violate the Constitution. I look at it as constitutional triage. I worked for a congressman; I’ve worked with judges. And it seems clear to me that judges and politicians don’t really care about our rights that the Constitution is supposed to protect. So I’m focusing on the guys with the guns, the ones who ultimately enforce the laws, on educating them about the Constitution. I think most of them are honorable people, but there’s an ethos, especially in the officer corps in the military, that focuses on following orders. It’s almost as if they’re taking the oath to uphold the Constitution to mean that you should categorically defer to the president. Now I think civilian authority is important, but if the president asks the military to do something that isn’t constitutional, their loyalty is to the Constitution, not the president.
In the police context, some have the mistaken idea that you’re always to enforce the law—leave it up to the politicians, lawyers, and judges to figure out what’s right and what’s wrong after the fact. That’s not what the Founders intended, and that’s not what the Constitution calls for. So the point of Oath Keepers is to remind the military and law enforcement that they are supposed to be thinking about the Constitution, and especially the Bill of Rights, and they need to be thinking about the lawfulness of the orders they’re given. And they actually have a duty to refuse when it’s unlawful or violates fundamental human rights. The military has learned this overseas, with the Nuremberg trials, with My Lai, with Abu Ghraib. And they get training in the laws of war, so they know when to refuse unlawful orders in the context of a foreign battlefield.
But cops get very little training in the Bill of Rights. And when the military is used domestically—as we saw with Katrina, and as we’re seeing more and more, they’re also now butting up against the rights of American citizens. And they need to know what those rights are, and how they can be sure they don’t violate them. They’re not getting that training either. And I find that disturbing.
Reason: Oath Keepers has been described has a militia group, a hate group, even as an organization that promotes treason. Do you advocate violence or overthrow of the government?
Rhodes: Absolutely not.
Reason: Is there any scenario under which you would encourage your members to respond to a government policy with violence?
Rhodes: No. That’s the strange thing about the criticism we get. The entire point of Oath Keepers is to advocate nonviolence. We’re telling police and soldiers that if they’re asked to do something unconstitutional, or asked to violate the rights of Americans, that they put down their guns. We just saw this with the Tunisian military, by the way, when it refused orders to fire on protesters.
Reason: One example you’ve given is the government’s disarming of New Orleans residents after Katrina. So your advice to those officers would not have been to forcibly oppose the disarmament, but to simply refuse to participate in it?
Rhodes: That’s correct. In fact, that happened during Katrina. There was a sergeant in the National Guard from Utah, Joshua May, who was deployed to Louisiana after Katrina. His unit was initially deployed in a rural area and got along fine with the residents there. But he was then deployed to New Orleans, and he had heard about the gun confiscations. And so Seargent May, on behalf of his entire unit, did a pre-emptive refusal. He sought out his commander and he told him, “If you give us orders to confiscate guns, we will refuse to enforce them.” This was at least half the company. This went up the chain of command, and when it came back, they were told not to worry, that they wouldn’t be asked to do that. Basically, Big Army blinked. There were no courts martial. No one was shot at dawn.

Don’t divide into factions
In American Sovereign on February 3, 2011 at 8:27 amYou are going to see a strong increase in propaganda to get us to split into factions and fight each other. America is the land of the free. We do not have leaders, we have representatives.
We respect each living humans right to say no. We work from the difficult position that all men were created equal and free and must be considered innocent until PROVEN guilty.
All laws apply to everyone equally. If a modern “law” does not apply to everyone then it is really a commercial contract and only applies to those who willing sign up for it.
We have not been a free Republic since Woodrow Wilson gave the keys to the treasury to a private cartel of banks called the Federal Reserve in 1913.
We will not be free again until we restore the honor of printing the people’s money to a transparent congress. We the people are sovereign around here and need to remember that.
We can do this folks!
How to act like an American
