Hi everybody, we are opening up another blog site just for like-minded people who like to discuss and disseminate pertinent info about our great journey from democracy (so called) to a real honest-to-goodness Republic, all 50 of them. Many great souls, for decades, have been working on this righting of the wrongs that came about in the mid 1800’s. ESPECIALLY AS ARESULT OF District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871,
The District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871 is an Act of Congress that repealed the individual charters of the cities of Washington and Georgetown and established a new territorial government for the whole District of Columbia. Though Congress repealed the territorial government in 1874, the legislation was the first to create a single municipal government for the federal district. Direct rule by… Wikipedia
Some house keeping rules:
By now we all know the common sense rules for blogging etiquette; if you don’t know, then just ask, we’ll try to guide you as gently as possible. This reminds me of a time when I went, years ago in Ft. Lauderdale, to brand new Broward Center for the Performing Arts to hear one of my favorite composers, Henry Mancini, performing with his orchestra. In the beginning he gave a short introduction and concluded by saying “we are going to play some of my favorite pieces of music, we hope you like them also, if not, get your own band and go play what you like.” He and we in the audience all chuckled and we hope every blogger here also chuckles, having understood the message.
Also, please note that not everybody likes to scroll through dozens of lines of an article that is important to you and others as well, but we need to let people choose what they want to read. So, please post only a few lines or a jist of an article and then post a link to the rest of it. Thanks Folks.

Hi Thistle,
Because we are, above all, dedicated to a peaceful transition from fascism to freedom, little is mentioned of the unorganized militia in America. Locally organized and autonomous, we are the unseen and untamable elephant in the tyrant’s domain.
We are one of the largest military forces in the world and if organized to defend our homeland, along with patriots now serving in the military, would prove unbeatable. The globalists know this, so they can only move slowly, so as to not force us to action, and try to paint us as a threat to rather than a force for liberty.
We are America’s real homeland security and our enemies know we’re watching them. Feel safe.:)

“My Fellow Americans,
“I have refrained from making a public statement on the following matters. I now feel it is expedient that I do so. I have received intelligence reports that there are agents that were sent by the U.S. Corporation to invade our Republic for the purpose of destroying it. I do have some names and if they will cease and desist in making attacks against the Republic, I will refrain from releasing their names publicly.
“I have been receiving disturbing emails from a gentlemen named Mike Higgins from Hawaii for some time. Nothing that I can say or do will satisfy him. This man is simply here to cause division in the Republic and I must publicly denounce any involvement with him. Please ignore any emails that you receive from him and please be careful attending any calls. I am not suggesting that he is a U.S. Federal agent, but I do believe that his behavior suggests that he may be someone who was sent to destroy us. It is time that the members of the republic take notice and start acting on new endeavors for the Republic, rather than pay any attention to his attempts to cause division within the Republic.
“Thank you for helping in this matter.”

In response to Bob-in-TN on November 18 2010 at 3:13 pm Bob the way I see it is God made men free and unafraid. That is the reason many go to war under the pretense of freedom. We are the strongest in the whole world and are willing to fight to protect our country and loved ones. But there are some that have never faced war and did not volenteer to fight for their country. They want to think they are not afraid until someone fire several shots at them and maybe get hit or a complete miss. I was shot at in Viet-nam as an MP and I believe it made me a stronger person. When you see a coward want to confront you with several to your back. You wait until you are on equal playing grounds and then find out what he is made of. I believe everyone that has served in a time of war will agree. I am refering to the cowards in our country. God bless the Veterans and all that are serving in our milirary today. .

Carlos, forgive if I misunderstood your post to Bob in TN. He was trying to give comfort to me. I’m a mother of 3 grown children, and grandmother of 7. I’m not a coward, just concerned that the actions of my husband and I may be visited upon our children and grandchildren by the de facto gvmt. Hubby and I have already said that we are prepared for whatever comes our way should “they” come kicking down our door, and that includes dying, if need be. We will not be taken to some Fema camp or be made slaves to this evil regime. Military? No, I have not personally served. You mentioned serving during the Viet Nam War. Ok, then that makes us about the same age, give or take a few years. I have medical issues that make me slower than I’d like to be, but a coward I am not. I was raised in a military household (dad served nearly 30 years in the Navy, during 3 wars & absent from home a lot of my youth). My only brother served in the Marines and my oldest son served in Desert Storm straight out of high school. Bob in TN was only giving some comforting words to me as what I worry about most is my family…..not myself. By the way, I thank you for your service and I have a deep loyalty and love for our military if you have not guessed this already.

I appreciate the discussion on the military support. The reason we couldn’t get our de facto candidate for governor to come on over to the de jure side when he did not prevail in the Nov. election was because he was under the impression that we had no military support. So this is good to know, plus, we’ve got God on our side.

Another trick to help you survive in a time when there’s no food:
Have you ever heard of the HCG Diet? It is also available as an oral spray and it’s all Homeopathic (meaning NO hormones). The spray is called HHCG and you can ”very comfortably” live on 500 calories a day while taking this stuff.
I’ve done it, and in 40 days I lost 43 lbs. without exercising at all. You spray it twice in the am and twice in the pm. It forces your body to use up the stored body fat as an energy source.
Several of my friends have done this with the exact same results. This stuff works so well, half of the time you forget to eat your last meal, and you have so much energy it’s not funny.
So if you had to survive for 2 months on a low food supply, this would be a great tool to have in the arsenal.
Read this guys page, and there may or may not be an order button at the bottom of the page, depending on whether or not he has any in stock. He sends out a new email every Tuesday morning if he has more bottles.
http://myfatcure.com/cmd.php?af=1193300
You can watch several videos on YouTube and do some research on it from Google searches.
It is literally the easiest weight loss regiment I’ve ever done, and it was 100% effective.
In my journey of preparing for our coming collapse, I thought about the HHCG as a survival tool in times of low food supply. You can live very comfortably on 500 cal/day while using this stuff, with no headaches, hunger pains, no light headedness at all. So if all you had to eat was one can of Chunky Beef Stew or a bowl of rice a day, this would help you get through with no problems.
One bottle of this spray lasts about 45-50 days.
LikeLike
I have tried the Hcg diet. Be careful that you follow the next two phases !!
Or you will just gain all you lost and more back.
LikeLike
Yes, you must follow all 3 phases or you’ll put the weight back on.
Here’s where people mess up:
When you get off the spray, you have to stay on 500 cal/day for 2-3 days to let the energy signature of the HHCG get out your system. On the third day for sure, you’ll start getting very hungry.
At this point you’ve got to start eating exactly the amount of calories a day you were burning while on the spray. So if you burned one pound of fat a day ( 1 lb. = 3,500 cal), you got to eat 3,500 calories a day for several weeks to let your hypothalamus reset.
Women usually burn about 1/2 lb per/day so it would be about 1,750 cal/day for them.
When people don’t eat the same amount of calories a day their body was used to getting while on the spray in the form of fat, your body thinks your starving it, so it immediately starts storing everything you eat as fat.
It works if you do it right.

Thanks for this post. I had never heard of this spray before, and I’ve also sent the info. on the water filter to my husband’s computer so he can do some studying on it too. We have a small filter on the water that comes out of our refrigerator, but not on our tap water yet. We were looking for something for the tap and this might fill the bill. Thanks again.
If any of you are looking for some good companies who make freeze dried foods that are tasty (we’ve tried them out), then can I recommend Bear Creek and also Mountain House brands. Lots to choose from and they just require water. Also you can stretch them out farther (for more people) by adding extra water, powdered bouillion and maybe canned veggies, etc. We have found some of the Mountain House brands in the camping section of Walmart and some of the larger grocery chains carry Bear Creek brand soups. Other items you can get online. Also another company is A-Pack and we’ve tried all. They don’t taste like cardboard. 🙂

WASHINGTON – The Senate has approved almost $4.6 billion to settle long-standing claims brought by American Indians and black farmers against the government.
The money has been held up for months in the Senate as Democrats and Republicans squabbled over how to pay for it. The two class action lawsuits were filed over a decade ago.
The settlements include almost $1.2 billion for black farmers who say they suffered discrimination at the hands of the Agriculture Department. Also, $3.4 billion would go to Indian landowners who claim they were swindled out of royalties by the Interior Department. The legislation was approved in the Senate by voice vote Friday and sent to the House.
Elouise Cobell, a member of the Blackfeet Tribe from Browning, Mont. and the lead plaintiff in the Indian case, said Friday that it took her breath away when she found out the Senate had passed the bill. She was feeling despondent after the chamber had tried and failed to pass the legislation many times and two people who would have been beneficiaries had died on her reservation this week.
“It’s 17 below and the Blackfeet nation is feeling warm,” she said. “I don’t know if people understand or believe the agony you go through when one of the beneficiaries passes away without justice.”
John Boyd, head of the National Black Farmers Association, said the passage of the black farmers’ money is also long overdue. “Twenty-six years justice is in sight for our nation’s black farmers,” he said.
Lawmakers from both parties have said they support resolving the long-standing claims of discrimination and mistreatment by federal agencies. But the funding has been caught up in a fight over spending and deficits. Republicans repeatedly objected to the settlements when they were added on to larger pieces of legislation. But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., satisfied conservative complaints by finding spending offsets to cover the cost.
The legislation also includes a one-year extension of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, which gives grants to states to provide cash assistance and other services to the poor, and several American Indian water rights settlements in Arizona, Montana and New Mexico sought by Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz.
In the Indian case, at least 300,000 Native Americans claim they were swindled out of royalties overseen by the Interior Department since 1887 for things like oil, gas, grazing and timber. The plaintiffs would share the settlement.
The Cobell lawsuit has dragged on for almost 15 years, with one judge in 2008 comparing it to the Charles Dickens’ “Bleak House,” which chronicles a never-ending legal suit. Using passages from that novel, U.S. District Judge James Robertson noted that the “suit has, in course of time, become so complicated” that “no two lawyers can talk about it for five minutes without coming to a total disagreement as to all the premises.”
The Indian plaintiffs originally said they were owed $100 billion, but signaled they were willing to settle for less as the trial wore on. After more than 3,600 court filings and 80 court decisions, the two sides finally reached a settlement in December.
“Personally I still think we’re owed a hundred billion dollars, but how long do you drag this thing out?” Cobell said Friday. “Do you drag it out until every beneficiary is dead? You just can’t do that.”
Cobell said she feels confident about passage in the House, where the two settlements already have passed twice as part of larger pieces of legislation.
For the black farmers, it is the second round of funding from a class-action lawsuit originally settled in 1999 over allegations of widespread discrimination by local Agriculture Department offices in awarding loans and other aid. It is known as the Pigford case, named after Timothy Pigford, a black farmer from North Carolina who was an original plaintiff.
The government already has paid out more than $1 billion to about 16,000 farmers, with most getting payments of about $50,000. The new money is intended for people — some estimates say 70,000 or 80,000 — who were denied earlier payments because they missed deadlines for filing. The amount of money each would get depends on how many claims are successfully filed.
The bill passed Friday would be partially paid for by diverting dollars from a surplus in nutrition programs for women and children and by extending customs user fees.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said with the passage of the Cobell settlement: “This is a day that will be etched in our memories and our history books.”
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said passage “marks a major milestone in USDA’s efforts to turn the page on a sad chapter in our history.”
Last month, the Agriculture Department offered American Indian farmers who say they were denied farm loans a $680 million settlement. Hispanic and women farmers also have cases pending against the department.

My ambassador told me tonight that Monday morning after the republic passed the document, prosperity packages were released. Not sure which one this is, but havent heard Casper mentioned anything this week. Also included was farm claims.
He also mentioned in a recent conversation with TT, that when the de facto collaspes, the JCS will go out on all airwaves introducing TT as president of the republic. TT will speak and begin explaining things to calm the folk.

Mississippigal, I just finished sending an email to my principal regarding this information. I copied it and sent it to her. My school is centered on promoting careers for these children. My school has a field right beside it. It’s a cotton field. Because I am constantly focused on teaching vocabulary to these children, I have focused more on the word ‘field.’ Now, I want to focus on the farming of the field and what it takes to grow cotton!! The world is quickly reaching a shortage of cotton and other resources. We MUST educate these kids the values of farming!!!!
Just ‘expressing’ myself.
Mississippigal, I’m working hard to ‘behave myself!!’

In the middle of last night I watched Tim’s speech at the Windwalker from my bed. Had it on my desktop accross the room . I have to watch it today again cause I was only hearing the voices of all the folks invovled, esp when they has that little disagreement and Tim said “let them talk.” (I think -something along those lines). WHAT A MIRACLE this is and ya’all are! And what a thrill and an honor it is to be a part of this. I am going to watch it again right now. We got our first sierra snow last night.
