It is well documented that many of America’s Founding Fathers had a very real and deep-seated distrust of standing armies–and for good reason. They had just fought a costly and bloody war for independence, which had been largely predicated upon the propensities for the abuse and misuse of individual liberties by a pervasive and powerful standing army (belonging to Great Britain) amongst them. Listen to Thomas Jefferson: “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.”
Note that Jefferson identified both banking institutions and standing armies as being “dangerous to our liberties.” James Madison said, “A standing army is one of the greatest mischief that can possibly happen.” Elbridge Gerry (Vice President under James Madison) called standing armies “the bane of liberty.”
For the most part, the sentiments of our founders ring hollow to modern Americans who, ever since World War II, have glorified, idolized, and practically even worshipped the standing US military. FULL STORY

The Occupy "movement"
Fridays with Erick Erickson
10.14.11
There seems to be little ground to share with the rag tag group of communists, hippies, and hipsters occupying Zuccotti Park in New York City. But, I am told by people who've been out surveying the crowds in other parts of the country—occupying Chicago to Atlanta—that there are some poor souls shivering and smelly that conservatives should not turn their backs on.
In fact, a number of conservative thinkers are concerned that maybe, just maybe, we might be engaged in reaction instead of apologetics and are losing people to the left that we need not lose.
I think most of the ground we could share with the occupy movement is superficial ground. Most of those on Wall Street want retribution and punishment of the rich. They've cast out greed, but are filled up with envy and jealousy.
Elsewhere, there may be some common ground. Some of the protestors are just tired that they can't find a job and no one seems to want to help them. The issue, then, is not punishing the rich, but helping these people. And many conservatives agree that the deck has been stacked in favor of big corporations too. We're all opposed to TARP and bailouts and special tax loopholes that only benefit one company.
We're all opposed to companies that have found it more useful to spend money on lobbyists to get a competitive advantage through law than to innovate and compete with upstart entrepreneurs. The solution then, it seems, is not more regulation and not to punish the successful. The solution is to actually level the playing field.
Simplify the tax code. Deregulate. Make it easy for entrepreneurs to get started. Reduce the nanny-state, not expand it. The time is right for a conservative, populist anti-Wall Street movement. Most Americans do think the deck is stacked against them. But unlike the hipsters, hippies, and communists, most Americans do not want to punish the successful. They just want a level playing field. — Erick Erickson
There has been several people wanting to take the protest against CPS destruction of families to these protests.
Tempting as that might be, I believe our message would be drowned out by the larger agenda, which is that the Occupy people want to destroy capitalism.
The only replacement for capitalism that I am aware of is communism or theocracy. The PROBLEM is Big Government, not CAPITALISM
And OUR problem with CPS is that it IS Big Nanny Government.

Freedom Lost
By Chuck Baldwin
October 6, 2011
Archived column: http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/home/?p=4040
Many times I hear the ostriches among us exclaim, "What freedoms have we lost? America is the freest country on earth." We have all heard that, right? Of course, part of the problem is that, thanks to our education system, media, and churches, many Americans do not even know how to define liberty and freedom. The truth is, America's Founding Fathers were willing to pledge their "lives, fortunes, and sacred honor" and fight a bloody revolutionary war for far fewer abridgments of liberty than we Americans endure every day of our lives today. FAR FEWER!
To answer the second part of the ostrich argument first: no, America is not the freest nation on earth. According to the Index of Economic Freedom, which is produced by the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal, the United States just barely makes it in the top ten, ranked at number nine in the world.
According to Deroy Murdock, "Among the 179 countries examined in the Index, Hong Kong is ranked first, followed by Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Canada, Ireland, and Denmark. These nations all outscored the U.S. across ten categories, including taxes, free trade, regulation, monetary policy, and corruption.
"America barely made the top ten. Bahrain was tenth, with 77.7 points, one decimal point behind America's 77.8 score. Chile reached No. 11 with 77.4, just 0.4 points behind the United States.
"Even worse, with a score below 80, the U.S. is spending its second year as a 'mostly free' economy. As it departed the family of 'free' nations in 2010, it led the 'mostly free' category. Even within this less-than-illustrious group, America now lags behind Ireland and Denmark."
See Murdock's report at: http://tinyurl.com/66caegw
Just ask any small businessman how free the United States is! The regulations, restrictions, prohibitions, assessments, fees, taxes, surcharges, permits, licenses, etc., are worse than almost any industrialized nation in the world. Remember the CEO of Coca Cola recently saying that it was easier doing business in China than in America? Well, he was telling the truth!
Thanks to political correctness, environmental wackoism, and socialistic/fascist ideology running rampant in Washington, D.C., and even many State capitols, "the land of the free" has become "the land of the oppressed." Being able to drive a car, have a job, shop at a mall, watch sports on television, or even vote, is NOT the mark of a free people. Folks in China and other oppressed nations routinely do all of the above.
Virtually every activity once considered a "right" is now regulated or prohibited by either the federal or State and local government. Few states (thankfully, my home State of Montana is one of them) recognize the right of people to marry without getting a State marriage license. And can anyone imagine Paul Revere riding throughout Boston with a license plate and registration on his horse? And can anyone further imagine Sam Adams or those militiamen at Lexington and Concord registering a gun or being asked to get a concealed carry permit? Yeah, right!
In most urban settings, one cannot build a shed on their own property, add a room on their house, or even pour a driveway without asking a variety of government bureaucrats for permission--and paying them hundreds of dollars in fees, of course. And did you know that the federal government even tells your local plumbing contractor how many gallons of water your toilet can flush? Well, they do! You call this freedom? Our Founding Fathers wouldn't have!
To answer the first part of the ostrich question, the freedoms we Americans have lost are literally too numerous to count. A recent report at the American Dream web site makes a very salient argument as to just how many freedoms have been lost in the good old U.S. of A.
The report states, "Once upon a time, our founders thought that they were guaranteeing our freedoms by adding a Bill of Rights to the Constitution.
"But today there are a lot of freedoms that we simply do not have any longer.
"In America today, you do not have the right to say whatever you want. If you say the wrong thing on a blog or a website it can have dramatic consequences.
"In America today, you do not have the right to do raise your own children as you see fit.
"In America today, you do not have the right to grow whatever food you want and you do not have the right to eat whatever food you do grow.
"In America today, you do not have the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure.
"In America today, you do not have a right to privacy. In fact, you should expect that everything that you do is watched, tracked, monitored and recorded." The report then goes on to list several real-life examples to prove the assessments listed above.
See the American Dream report at: http://tinyurl.com/6auqza3
And, of course, the ultimate symbol of a free people is the right to keep and bear arms. And while most states theoretically recognize a citizen's right to own and possess a gun, the vast majority of them only do so--not as a right guaranteed to a free people by their Creator--but as a privilege granted to approved subjects by the limited benevolence of the State. At last count, only four states recognize the right of their citizens to keep and bear arms without any kind of State license: Alaska, Arizona, Vermont, and Wyoming. (For clarification, the State of Montana allows open carry Statewide and concealed carry in unincorporated areas, but people carrying concealed in incorporated cities, must have a CCW permit. We passed legislation this year to expunge the incorporated city CCW requirement, but our Democrat governor vetoed it. But Montana will be the fifth State soon!)

So, the next time you hear someone say, "What freedoms have we lost? We are the freest nation on earth," why not give them a copy of this column? And then tell the ostrich to get his head out of the sand and his rump off the couch before the little remnant of freedom we have left is also completely eviscerated.

What happened in Freetopia? Video fable reveals how free societies become bankrupt police states
Wednesday, September 21, 2011
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
Editor of NaturalNews.com
(NaturalNews) NaturalNews editor Mike Adams has just published a video fable called "What happened in Freetopia?" The fable, written and narrated by Adams, tells the story of how free societies collapse into bankrupt police states, even as people attempt to solve problems with good intentions.
The video is available now at YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zNnaeD09C8
And NaturalNews.TV:
http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=16899B46FEB0BBE3E322E75EA08442A8
The video fable covers subjects such as health freedom, farming freedom, the rise of tyrannical governments, the destruction of personal responsibility, runaway consumerism, gun control, the legalization of hemp, staged terror attacks, fiat currency, the national debt, government surveillance and much more. It's a whirlwind tour of what went wrong with modern society and how we can help restore the freedoms and liberties necessary to create abundance in any society.
Freetopia also exposes numerous economic fallacies including the fallacy that war is good for the economy. (It isn't.) It also reveals how western medicine conspires to keep people sick so that more profits can be generated from human suffering and disease.
The fable even covers the collapse of big government and the restoration of a free society based on liberty and justice rather than oppressive government controls over everything. It concludes with a little-known quote from Thomas Jefferson.

It's midnight in America. Will there be a dawn?
Dear Friend,
As the great abolitionist Frederick Douglass fittingly remarked, “I didn’t know I was a slave until I found out I couldn’t do the things I wanted.”
It is becoming increasingly clear that “we the people” have become enslaved by the very institution that we entrusted with guarding our liberties—our government. And with long-standing constitutional protections fast disappearing, those who attempt to exercise their rights are finding themselves forced to defend themselves against an increasingly inflexible and uncompromising government.
What this amounts to is a nation that is fast imploding, one that is losing sight of what freedom is really all about and, in the process, is transitioning from a republic governed by the people to a police state governed by the strong arm of the law. In such an environment, the law becomes yet another tool to oppress the people.
Thus, if we are to be free, we must break the chains that bind us, and that’s where The Rutherford Institute comes in.
For almost 30 years, we’ve been leading the fight for freedom in America, but we need your help if we are to prevail in the battles that lie ahead. Indeed, with cases at all levels of the judicial system, including several making their way to the U.S. Supreme Court, we need you to stand with us, pray for us and support us as we continue to fight to protect your God-given freedoms in the courtroom and in communities across America.
For the sake of the many battles still to be fought, I hope you will affirm your support of our work by standing with us as a “card-carrying member” of The Rutherford Institute in 2012.
Remember, those who founded this country knew quite well that every citizen must remain vigilant or freedom would be lost. Our founders were neither agitators nor hotheads, neither looking for trouble nor trying to start a fight. They were men and women like you and me, simply trying to make it from one day to another, all the while groaning under the weight of an oppressive government's demands.
For the sake of all those today who are groaning under the weight of an oppressive government’s demands, please do your part to help us fight back and keep freedom alive in America.
Yours faithfully,
John W. Whitehead
President
P.S. It’s midnight in America right now. But the real question is, will there be a dawn? That’s up to you and me. The future is in our hands.
To be a 2012 Supporting Member, simply make a tax-deductible donation to The Rutherford Institute using the following membership link, and we’ll make you a Supporting Member at the giving level you choose. Your generous support also allows us to offer legal services at no charge to thousands of individuals whose God-given rights have been threatened or violated and who otherwise would not be able to defend themselves and the freedoms we all depend on. Plus, you’ll give us a head start in our ability to plan our programs and budget for next year. And remember, as a sign of appreciation for your membership support of $22 or more, I’ll send you a free copy of my book, The End of Man.
HOW CAN I TELL OTHERS ABOUT YOUR ORGANIZATION?
Send a personalized version of this message to your friends.

"Freedom" in our Orwellian Dystopia
"Freedom" in our Orwellian Dystopia
 |
| FREEDOM* |
| *Freedom is subject to the following terms and conditions: "Freedom" strictly refers to the latitude we allow you to do or say what we tell you, in the manner and scope we tell you to do it. "Freedom" is a privilege, not a "right". Failure to comply with "Freedom" will result in it's removal. "Freedom" is subject to availability; not available in all areas. Freedom is not free; you will be assessed a fee; based progressively on your annual usage. Freedom does NOT extend to unsanctioned thoughts, words, events, or actions. If you are unsure about any of the previous, apply for a permit at your local "Freedom" center. If it is determined that you perform or ever HAVE performed any act, thought, or speech that is determined to be "unpatriotic", your FREEDOM will be immediately revoked. Thoughts, speech, or acts are calculated "Patriotic" or "unpatriotic" via tabulation of a number of factors, including age, race, gender, and political affiliation. The specific weighting of the previous factors in any assessment of your "patriotism" are subject to change at any time. You are Free to do whatever we tell you under these terms. |

Vaccine Awareness Week
Vaccine Awareness Week:
November 1 -- November 6, 2010
Mercola.com and the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) are dedicating the first week of November as Vaccine Awareness Week!
In a lengthy collaborative effort to raise public awareness about important vaccination issues, Dr. Joseph Mercola and NVIC will publish a series of articles and interviews on vaccine topics of interest to Mercola.com newsletter subscribers and NVIC Vaccine E-newsletter readers.
Vaccine Awareness Week arose from the following shared goals:
- Raising public awareness about the need to take an active role in changing vaccine policy
- Prevention of vaccine injuries and deaths
- Protection of informed consent—defending your legal rights to make voluntary vaccination choices for your and your family
- Raising funds for NVIC, a non-profit charity that has been working since 1982 to educate the public about vaccination
Vaccine Awareness Week, hosted by Mercola.com and NVIC, follows a month-long vaccine awareness effort in October that was recently announced on Facebook by parents highlighting Gardasil vaccine risks.
Don't sit this one out! We've got them "on the run."
Tell everyone. Tell your friends, your family. With a little bit of effort, you can make significant strides toward preserving your freedom to make VOLUNTARY health decisions affecting you and your children's future.
