.........note that Schulz is aware of the very distinct possibility that the organizers behind OWS will try to stifle his work there. If or when they do, that will simply reveal them for the frauds they are. They talk about being open to all views, about welcoming Tea Party people, etc. but I suspect that when it comes down to it, they will try to stop Bob. And they will have to tip their hands to do it, because Bob is himself a formidable organizer, and knows how to get it done, so unless they shut him down in a very overt way, he WILL turn the majority of that crowd into constitutionalists. If anyone can do it, he can. So, whether they shut him down or not, what he is doing has great value. Every other liberty and Constitution loving group and leader in America should be doing the same thing.
Stewart========MORENote from Elias Alias: I have personally been following Bob Schulz and his “We The People Foundation For Constitutional Education” since 1999. The man is one of America’s greatest Patriots and his story is remarkable. All readers here who have not discovered his “We The People” foundation, please take time to explore his site: http://www.givemeliberty.org/Gives The Constitution A Voice
At 9 AM on Saturday, October 8, I was tuned into CNN, broadcasting from Atlanta. The Host was interviewing three young people who had participated in “Occupy Atlanta” the day before. One was a 26 year old female veteran back from the hostilities in Iraq and Afghanistan and enrolled in College. The other two were males in their 20’s who were employed.
The host asked what the Occupy movement was all about. The young people said, “We want to fix the system.”
The host asked how the system could be fixed. The young people struggled to find an answer but had none. Eventually they suggested more people should vote.
I turned to Judy, my wife, saying, “That’s it. I’m going down there. These folks need to know about the Constitution and how it can solve their grievances.” Four hours later, we were in New York City. I had a thought to find a meeting room somewhere near to the protests so I could talk about Liberty and the Constitution to whomever might come. Research uncovered a new community center two blocks away called Charlotte’s Place.” We were able to make contact with and then meet with the director in between visits to the Park who agreed to give us time to meet there with interested people.
As we walked among the protesters, we observed many who were clean-cut, bright eyed as they moved throughout the crowd open to exchanging ideas with strangers.
I noticed a table with a homemade sign, “INFO.” I approached and asked, “How can I conduct a teach-in on the State and Federal Constitutions? The young man said, “Start a Working Group.” I asked, “How do I do that.” He said, “Announce it.” I asked, “How.” He said, “Get up on a bench and yell, ‘Mic Check.’” That will get the attention of the People.”
I did just that. The People turned their attention to me and began to repeat, in waves, every few words I said. I announced I was starting a Constitution Working Group, that the Constitution can be used to control the Bankers, the Corporations and the Politicians, end undeclared wars, end Bailouts, end the Fed and end our debt-based, fiat currency. Each part of the message was repeated two or three times as the crowds carried the words and energy back to others farther away. I announced the first meeting of the State and Federal Constitution Working Group would be at 6 PM on the steps at the east end of the Plaza.

We The People’s Bob Schulz at OWS
Crisis and collapse appears to be guaranteed
VERBATIM POST
=======
It's interesting to see that even some stalwart liberal Democrats are beginning to see that this isn't a Democrat-Republican problem:Many Egyptians were convinced that they lived in a deeply unjust society where the game had been rigged by the Mubarak family and its crony capitalists. Egypt shows what happens when a country adopts free-market capitalism without developing real rule of law and institutions.I came up with a better term for the evil alliance between Washington and Wall Street in the column that will run tomorrow. The Washington-Wall Street Axis of Oligarchy is the real enemy of both the Tea Party Republicans and the Occupy Wall Street Democrats. And both the TP and OWS will have to give up their delusion of Republicans/Democrats good, Democrats/Republicans bad before anything positive is even possible.
But, then, what happened to us? Our financial industry has grown so large and rich it has corrupted our real institutions through political donations. As Senator Richard Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, bluntly said in a 2009 radio interview, despite having caused this crisis, these same financial firms “are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. And they, frankly, own the place.”
Our Congress today is a forum for legalized bribery. One consumer group using information from Opensecrets.org calculates that the financial services industry, including real estate, spent $2.3 billion on federal campaign contributions from 1990 to 2010, which was more than the health care, energy, defense, agriculture and transportation industries combined. Why are there 61 members on the House Committee on Financial Services? So many congressmen want to be in a position to sell votes to Wall Street.
I am nearly certain it is too late for any curative measures already. The contraction is already well underway, while crisis and collapse appears to be guaranteed. The only serious question is when it will occur in an unmistakable manner. But even if that is the case, it's still worthwhile helping people understand the true source of the trouble.
Syria’s Assad says intervention will burn region
Syrian President Bashar Assad has warned against Western intervention in his country’s 7-month-old uprising, saying such action would trigger an “earthquake” that “would burn the whole region.”Mr. Assad’s comments, published in an interview with Britain’s Sunday Telegraph, were made against a backdrop of growing calls from anti-regime protesters for a no-fly zone over Syria and increasingly frequent clashes between government troops and army defectors, which left at least 30 troops dead late Saturday.
“Syria is the hub now in this region. It is the fault line, and if you play with the ground, you will cause an earthquake,” Mr. Assad said. “Do you want to see another Afghanistan, or tens of Afghanistans?”
Mr. Assad’s remarks appeared to reflect his regime’s increasing concern about foreign intervention in the country’s crisis after the recent death of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, who was toppled by a popular uprising backed by NATO airstrikes.
Obama's 'Grotesque Failure' in Mideast Propels 'Anti-Christian Spring'
Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich contends that the “grotesque failure” of President Barack Obama’s Mideast policies has propelled an “anti-Christian spring.”
The number of Christians in Iraq plunged from 1.2 million to 500,000 since the American invasion in 2003, and Christianity is under siege throughout the region, Gingrich told an audience in Myrtle Beach, S.C., Saturday.
“This is why the current strategy in the Middle East is such a total grotesque failure,” the National Journal quotes Gingrich as telling a crowd of about 200. “People say, ‘Oh, isn’t this great, we’re having an Arab Spring.’ Well, I don’t know, I think we may in fact be having an anti-Christian spring. I think people should take this pretty soberly.”

An open letter from a Federal Firearms Licensee to members of law enforcement.
As one of many cooperating FFL dealers in the Fast & Furious ongoing debacle, I simply want those rank and file members of both State and Federal law enforcement to know that weapons that were deliberately allowed to find themselves into criminal hands by this administration's hidden agenda for gun control has put all of you at risk.
And let's be clear here. This administration's high ranking officials, that is to say, your own directors and supervisors could care less. Brian Terry proved that with his life last December. Your directors and your bosses will simply continue to turn a deliberate blind eye to what all of you know already. That the end will justify the means. Insane isn't it?
We are witnessing top officials going under oath before congressional leaders and outright lying. To put it mildly, this is the worst case of acute collective amnesia we have all ever seen in any of our lifetimes. And it gets much worse, for as one of those dealers ATF & DOJ used to allow hundreds of guns to slip into the wrong hands, I am scared to death that another one of either yourselves, or one of your loved ones, or just another fellow law enforcement member, may again fall victim to this administration's illegal and clandestine operation for their hidden agenda.
Notwithstanding, there are untold Mexican citizens that have paid the ultimate price for this administration's policy of gunwalking, while catering to the Hispanic voters with promises of amnesty. What has happened here is plain to see, for it is what it is,....Genocide.
When this government's officials know the brutal war going on every day south of the border, killings that now top over 45,000, and yet they initiate an operation designed for the sole purpose of allowing thousands of military grade weapons to be put into the hands of existing killers. And with the full knowledge and anticipation of their desired outcome, well it's much like pouring gasoline on an already existing fire is it not?
There exists a term for this act which many of you may have heard of in your vast law enforcement experience. It's called premeditated murder.
And this administration has embarked on an ongoing campaign of fluid deception and despicable tactics that are criminal in every sense of the word. To those of you in law enforcement that were either involved directly or indirectly, I appeal to your fundamental sense of good, what is right, and to the oath you swore, and most importantly to our nation. Many of you like myself know what actually happened, and how attempts to cover it up are being orchestrated at the highest levels. They will not succeed for it has already been proven. What I am really saying here is that many of you have been caught up in this and your jobs and careers are being held over your head. Wake up! You allow this to occur now and next time it will be much worse, and I don't want another of you killed by this administration's insane ideas.
You have a simple choice to make. Continue to go along with it and destroy your own futures and that of your children, or pick up the phone and talk with a young congressional investigator dealing with this. He is fair and will certainly listen to what you have to say.

"REMOVE YOUR CONSENT!"
- Ian MacLeod returns with a follow up to his excellent comments here: A most excellent post concerning the Guerena murder, SWAT and what may be coming
Here is a major problem, perhaps our biggest. It's clearly part of the reason for the "elites" who own the vast majority of our (stolen) wealth having taken over what used to be a peerless and courageous Fourth Estate: once, America's journalists would have spoken with one voice to tell Americans that this was a problem all over the country which MUST be dealt with! But now there’s no way to reach all of our people! The MSM is a tool that no longer belongs to us. We need to know first, that ordinary police are being literally conditioned, just like military is conditioned for war, to see all ordinary citizens as "the Enemy.” Rather than seeing us as the people who pay their salaries, as those they swore "to protect and to serve", any encounter with ordinary police can end in our deaths, sometimes just for asking a reasonable and perfectly legal question.
And then there's SWAT.
An Indiana judge has ruled that Americans have no right to defend ourselves and our families against armed thugs who break into our homes wearing black, their faces masked, no badges, no ID, and usually no warrant. These thugs may be police, or they may be robbers and killers imitating SWAT teams so that citizens will surrender immediately. Regardless, we are to surrender because we have no right to defend ourselves or our loved ones!
We already know the War On Drugs is a war on people. It’s used as an excuse to imprison insane numbers of citizens and to grab off more power! Most of all, it’s used to protect the profits of Big Pharma, which can’t make any medicine as good as marijuana and can’t patent that. Cops are now judge, jury and executioners, as they were in the Guerna case.
The DEA has also taken over the medical field of Pain Management, arresting and railroading - or helping the DoJ to railroad - over a thousand compassionate physicians who treated pain according to the Medical Standard of Care into prison. They broke no laws, but that no longer matters. And there are 117 MILLION pain patients who cannot get correct treatment. Chronic pain is often a fatal disease, and many patients die by their own hands every year. The DEA and other government agencies spread propaganda about opiates, addicts and addiction, so people think it's right to destroy these damaged, often dying, and most helpless of people and their families. The Drug War is a fake, a fraud. It's a ploy based on and bolstered by lies, violence and intimidation, by massive imprisonment of the innocent, by the twisting of laws and the destruction of our legal system to grab off more power. Like the War On Terror.
Every act of terrorism I'm aware of has been traced to false flag ops by our own country, often in collusion with the Mossad and others. They have been used to justify the greatest power grab, theft of funds by the rich (clearly intended to destroy the economy) and destruction of the Constitution and the Rule of Law that has ever happened in America! And pretty much everyone in America has been classed as potential or likely terrorists. At the top of the list are veterans from our latest wars-for-oil-profits. People who call themselves "Constitutionalists," or "Patriots" are on their lists of likely terrorists. Mr. Guerna was killed because he owned a gun; it was the excuse for sending a SWAT team: because a combat veteran, honorably discharged, legally owned a gun.
The Supreme Court is run by a majority of pro-corporate, anti-Constitutional, anti-worker and anti-citizen (and so anti-American) judges, all of whom should be charged and impeached for High Treason - and they would be if all those with the authority weren't also Right-Wing appointees themselves, like the Monsanto lobbyist who is now Mr. Obama's second in command at the FDA.
The only tactics that I can see are protests like OWS, and acts like removing ALL of our own funds from the giant banks, and paying cash only, or bartering, and joining local credit unions. Stop paying your mortgages; do what they've tried to do to us: bleed them to death. Don't buy ANYTHING new that you don't have to. Buy no possible GMO or other poisoned food - which is pretty much ALL of the more processed foods. Grow a garden and trade with other gardeners; learn to can your own food and trade some of that.
We can also educate our fellow Americans! Take the OathKeepers "Orders We Will Not Obey" to First Responders, to neighbors, talk with them about it; take them to veterans groups and active duty military. Talk to young people about why these wars are WRONG! Tell them about DU, about weaponized vaccines and medical experiments on military personnel and why not to join the military. Most of all though, remove your consent.
No government rules anyone without the consent of those being ruled. This is NO government of ours, chosen by us. We didn't vote for these laws, or for people who told us they would promulgate such laws.
REMOVE YOUR CONSENT!
It's time that Americans ran America for Americans, time that we had a living Constitution, and law enforcement instead of gangs of Brownshirts with badges, weapons and a license to kill. We've been told that America's government is "of, by and for the People." It's time to make that true again! Or it may be time to die trying.

Liberty II: The Political Landscape
This post is to begin laying the ground for the Call to Action and Call to Arms that will come at the end of this series. We are going to take a very quick analysis of the politcal stakes for the 2012 cycle. This entire discussion, this series of posts, is predicated on the wisdom and insight of Concerned American's Polygonal Battlespace concept.
There are many fronts in this war against Liberty. If we focus on only one, we lose. If we do not engage and win on the several most dangerous threats that are in our faces right now, we lose. I may lose, but I will never surrender.
We must identify, engage, win, and then move on.
I am starting with Politics. It matters. It matters who the politicians are when they dive into the bunkers. If you tell me that it would not be better to have Obama out of the White House, Reid demoted from Majority Leader, and dozens of RINO's and fake Tea Party Congressmen sent home, don't bother reading any further.
First: There are 10 serious Battleground States for the Oval office, worth 132 Electoral Votes.
