The pic I posted was one I'd stumbled upon, and had to make a permanent addition to my political file bookmark.
Thanks to all who took the image for what is is, and was.
A point made in another topic awhile back. No LEO who knew it was wrong, would ever perform, or allow something like this to happen. On the basis it would be morally wrong, not to mention unConstitutional.
It Martial Law were declared, the Constitution would therefore be suspended, as would the BOR, and every State Constitution as well. Don't forget that!!!
AND, also keep in mind that the Armed Forces has been asking enlistees if they would fire upon American citizens if orderd to.
That's not the same thing as requiring a pledge to protect from all enemies, foreign and domestic
On the matter of the INS's handling of the Elian matter. I need to know one thing, it was an illegal maneuver by Federal forces. Illegal in that there was a Court order in place on the disposition of the child, until such time as a hearing would be held to weigh arguemnents from all parties concerned. That hearing, and therefore Justice, was never allowed to occur. A sure and simple indicator of tyranny running loose.
Another point on the Elian matter. It was said that all the "police" involved in the "raid" were not from the area, but from outside the geographical arena of Miami.
While I was in the Air Force, the MP's would conduct raids on illegal activities occuring on our base, and many times, those MP's were from another facility, and they were not told of their mission, or where that exercise was going to take place.
Reasons should be obvious: the local forces were either involved in the illegal activites to some degree, and therefore the raid would never be successful, or they might have felt that their partial involvement might endanger local agents(MP's and familes of) lives.
Or, it might have been done to maintain anonimity in the local facility, thereby retaining trust in the same.
This all sounds very familiar to the INS's handling of the capture of Elian. I suspect the local citizenss might have made local INS agents lives hell, or short.
What's this got to do with gun grabbers lurking in the midst? Everything. A gun grabber coiuld easily pass on deceiving information with the goal of having you, or I under suspicion of an illegal action. Say, possession of some contraband, whatever it might be. Under the "War on Drugs" premis, certain agents can then crash into my home, on a seek and destroy mission. All based upon an informants statement. What happened to PC? Well, that technicality has been brushed aside for the sake of expediency. Oh, and, we also knew he had guns in his possession, therefore, we had to assume the posture of shoot on sight. And yes, we had our vest, helmets, faceshields, MP5's, and there were 10 of us, he might have tried to resist arrest.

History shows that all conquerers who have allowed their subjected people to carry arms have prepared their own fall.

"Corrupt the young, get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial, and destroy their rugged- ness.
Get control of all means of publicity, and thereby get the peoples' mind off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books and plays, and other trivialities.
Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance."
