Liberty and the 2nd Amendment
Picture

                                  By Susan Steffen-Kraft

Let's define the word militia. It simply means a citizen army which is different from a professional army. The people of this country have a right to keep and bear arms. Listen to what Aristotle says. He identified the right to keep and bear arms as synonymous with the word citizenship. A citizen is one who by law is a recognized subject or national of a state or commonwealth.  They can be native or naturalized. legally recognized subject or national of a state or commonwealth, either native or naturalized and this is from www.merriman-webster.com. So Aristotle stated "those who possess arms are the citizens."  Well regulated for the record means well trained. 

Now you might well ask and wonder what dog does she have in this fight? I state for the record, that up to this point in my life I have never owned a gun, so I am actually neutral in this except for one thing; I believe in the 2nd Amendment which is part of the Constitution. I will defend other people's rights to own and bear arms but only if, of course, they are citizens. As far as defending myself....knives, pepper spray, wasp spray, baseball bats, etc. are quite useful and at this point still legal. These are the weapons of my choosing at this time; whether that will change or not I cannot tell you. I firmly believe you should be able to defend yourself and your family if necessary and by whatever means you have available. Don't agree with that....Tough!

​If they take away your right to defend with a gun then next will be our knives, pepper spray, baseball bats, karate, judo, and so on. The government is control hungry and will not stop at your guns; you are foolish you if you think so. 
To say that guns are to blame for a crime then, if you believe in and read the Bible, you should know that Cain who committed the first murder did not own a gun. Thus, murders can occur in any way, shape and form so we would have to ban pillows for example that have been used to smother someone. Silly, right? 

An open letter from a soldier who had to deal with a second shooting at Fort Hood, Texas because of the politics that brings about a politically  gun free zone states that: 

“My name is First Lieutenant Patrick Cook of the 49th Transportation Battalion, Fort Hood, Texas. . . I found myself trapped in an enclosed room with fourteen of my fellow Soldiers, one of whom was barricading the door against a madman with a .45 pistol when he was fatally shot. . .
"I knew this was going to happen. I had been saying for five years that Fort Hood was a tinderbox of another massacre waiting to happen. It had to happen, because our betters failed to learn the obvious lesson of five years ago [when U.S. Army major and psychiatrist Nidal Hasan, fatally shot 13 people and injured more than 30 others]. Worse yet, I know it will happen again. More will die, more will be wounded, more families will be torn apart, needlessly. It happened again, and will happen again, because Fort Hood is a gun free zone . . .

​“When the first shots rang out, my hand reached to my belt for something that wasn’t there. Something that could have put a stop to the bloodshed, could have made it merely an ‘ugly incident’ instead of the horrific massacre that I will surely remember as the darkest twenty minutes of my life. Stripped of my God-given Right to arm myself, the only defensive posture I had left was to lie prostrate on the ground, and wait to die".

This is what we have come too, that soldiers have no guns at times. Law abiding citizens are one of the deterrents to stopping someone who is more than willing to murder others such as the Ft. Hood shooter to give an example. That even military had no protection at that moment and time is rotten to say the least.

Gun control is so much more than controlling crime.  It’s about disarming We the People and that way we are easier to control.  So why do you think the founders included the Second Amendment.  Well it's not about hunting but about self-preservation and making sure a tyrannical government does not take hold here in America. As for hunting, no one wants to see people lose that right either,  because although some do it for sport, many do it for food also. You need to let people that are for gun control that there are evil people in this old world of ours and the government can't protect us from everyone and everything. 

​“The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed,” stated Jefferson in a letter to John Cartwright on June 5, 1824
. ​​
The unalienable right to freedom from violent harm, and the right to self-defense, both exist before and outside of secular government. Below are four examples of this:

1. Torah: Exodus 22:2.

2. Talmud: Jewish law set forth in the Talmud states, “If someone comes to kill you, arise quickly and kill him.” (Talmud, Tractate Sanhedrin. 1994,2, 72a; The Babylonian Talmud: Tractate Berakoth. 1990, 58a, 62b).


3. Roman Catholic Doctrine: Christian doctrine has long asserted the right and duty of self defense. “Someone who defends his life is not guilty of murder even if he is forced to deal his aggressor a lethal blow.” See Catechism of the Catholic Church 1994, sections 2263-65 (citing and quoting Thomas Aquinas).


4. Protestant Doctrine: Individual has personal and unalienable right to self-defense, even against government. Samuel Rutherford, Lex, Rex [1644]1982, pp. 159-166, 183-185 (Sprinkle Publications edition.) Jesus advised his disciples to arm themselves in view of likely persecution. Luke 22:36
Picture
November 2014 is when the people in New York found out that people who had died would have the guns that the family would have inherited collected from them; even though most would have had gun permits. Buffalo police are now checking to see if gun owners are living and if not trying to find out what happened to those guns.  Tom King, who is the president of the New York State Pistol & Rifle Association has accused Derrenda, who is the Buffalo Police Commissioner of misleading the public about the law.
“They’re quick to say they’re going to take the guns,” King said. “But they don’t tell you the law doesn’t apply to long guns, or that these families can sell [their loved one’s] pistol or apply to keep it.”

​The law and other jurisdiction in New York State are trying to enforce State Penal Law 265.20 (f)actually does not call for gun confiscation but it requires those who inherit the weapon to dispose of the weapon or turn it over to an “appropriate official.” Under the law, police agencies can hold weapons for up to two years before disposing of them.

“These gun collections can value into the hundreds of thousands,” Saraceno told Fox News. “If a police officer came to my door without a warrant signed by a judge, I’m not giving them anything. Most people don’t know that and get intimidated.”

Now do you honestly think that they will destroy something that valuable? Heck no! They will sell or keep them for themselves. Civil Forfeiture in which the police get to keep things and or sell them is in my opinion similar to some degree.  


We also have the UN's attempt at involvement in our 2nd Amendment rights.  Their Arms Control Association makes this very clear: "The Arms Trade Treaty requires all states to 'establish and maintain a national control system, including a national control list' and 'designate competent national authorities in order to have an effective and transparent national control system regulating the transfer of conventional arms.'"

​If you know me you know I have no respect or love for the UN. Get Us Out of the UN and get the UN out of the U.S. 
​The UN has tried to intervene itself into the United States by trying to get us to have very strict gun control laws. The human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad Hussein has urged for America to stop the "preventable violent attacks" with "legal framework" that apparently  other countries use.  Well, he can go to "hell in a hand basket"!  He has no business telling us anything. Furthermore the Secretary of State, Mr. John Kerry has illegally and in violation of the Constitution of our country has signed the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty. President Obama has done enough to bring in Steps 6 &7 in this United Nations disarmament plan. These two are listed below:


“6. Finally, codification of laws to completely makes any and all firearms illegal to own, possess or use outside of military and law enforcement usage.


7. Creation of a United Nations Police Task force with the specific mission of assisting member nations with the collection of weaponry from civilian hands”.


If the 2nd Amendment is the law of the land then legislation that infringes on those inalienable rights, is most definitely unjust and against our Constitution. Is would be illegal, if it presented upon to vote, for this kind of legislation. There is an oath to protect the Constitution and anyone who takes that oath is then violating what they swore to protect.  This is done in such a manner that it is recorder as evidence thus we should have recourse against them. 

 Police who swore the same oath and attempt, whether they are successful or not, to confiscate any arms,  are now criminals also. Of course, where an actual crime is involved then this would not be true.
Judges can do their jobs or violate the Constitution from the bench. The courts have the records of evidence that they committed the highest of crimes. I suspect that many would be tossed if we pursued this and showed to the public their own admission of their crime. We the citizens and we who vote should expect our politicians, lawyers, judges, sheriffs, and the police to honor the oaths they swore.

They all know the law and we should make no exceptions about this. Break the law and you are finished. That is what they do to someone like you and me who are not part of these professions. Pleading ignorance does not work and they all should be held to a high standard.

Signer of the Constitution Gouverneur Morris wrote: “Americans need never fear their government because of the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation.”

Maybe fear of stupidity should be what he should have written. It has become crazy when a child is suspended from school for supposedly nibbling a pop tart into the shape of a gun.  Indeed, one might say that sheer lunacy is now the norm. He was seven at the time (March 1, 2013) and three years later the settlement finally came to an end in favor of the child.  Seriously, whatever were they thinking? I would be more concerned that the Pop Tart was unhealthy for the child with the junk that is in Pop Tarts.

​Next on the list of obsession with getting rid of guns is the fear that a Buzz Lightyear toy apparently resembles one. Yes, a five year old child lost his toy due to the stupidity of TSA agents.  Taking a toy from a five year old who is crying his eyes out  because his toy is taken hardly helps with National Security.
 After a lot of upset the TSA finally returned the toy at a later date. Most definitely, they should have
.
These examples are just two of the things that have happened when fanatics who are about getting rid of the 2nd Amendment and guns have their way.

Also have any of you made note that politicians who are favorable towards gun control still have bodyguards even in a gun-free zone. Those bodyguard pack heat and apparently the secret Service and other bodyguard types don't trust "No guns allowed" to keep the politicians they are guarding safe
If you preach it you should live it. Thus anyone in favor of this should give up their bodyguards packing heat and rely on whatever methods they choose for protection other then guns and guards.


Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence.... From the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to ensure peace, security, and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable.... The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference; they deserve a place of honor with all that's good... A free people ought to be armed. - George Washington   

I am closing this blog article with an old story from an old Readers Digest. Fits the gun control mentality I would say.

One day Mel Martin stopped by the chambers of a judge with whom he had a lunch appointment. As his friend changed from robe to jacket, Martin noticed a shiny black pistol holstered to the judge's shoulder.
The judge was a a firearms enthusiast, so Martin asked him why he was carrying it. His friend said that because of recent threats he had borrowed the pistol from the repository of confiscated weapons. Holding it up, the judge said, "I chose this one because it's so mean-looking, yet it hardly weighs a thing. I hope I don't need it, because I don't even know how to load it."
It's not hard," Martin said, examining it closely.  "We can fill it at the water fountain on the way out."

Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Julian?

Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Julian?

Picture

                                   By Susan Steffen-Kraft

Julian Assange is the top dog mover and shaker of Wikileaks which exists wherever he is. But, he does have hundreds of volunteers from around the world who help shore up the Web site’s complicated framework. Many help in small ways but, between three and five people dedicate themselves to it full time.  The important members are only known by initials as, per example, an M, because they are trying to keep the secrets of Wikileaks; so these key people's anonymity must be protected. 

Assange has come to understand and has embraced the fact that the definition of human struggle is not so much left versus right or even faith versus reason. For him it is an individual versus an institution which, to my understanding, would define government and or those who wish to control at an institutional level.
​When communications were conducted by encrypted online, those chat services published a classified military report, which were created by the Army Counterintelligence Center in 2008. They argued that the site was a potential threat to the Army and briefly speculated on ways to deter government employees from leaking documents to it. Assange regarded the report as a declaration of war, and posted it with the title “U.S. Intelligence Planned to Destroy WikiLeaks.” 


The First Amendment is being violated by the United States’s, and in their frantic attempt to build a case against Assange WikiLeaks which, to their way of thinking, has become serious, sinister, and frightening. Several things were put together by a grand jury in secret, I might add, in Alexandria, Virginia and there have been invasive searches of the WikiLeaks staff and surveillance of WikiLeaks supporters. There have been attempts to discredit, bankrupt, and destroy Mr. Assange to boot.  

​Many people of all ilk have demanded his release and this list includes Michael Moore, Noam Chomsky, Ai Wei Wei, and Patti Smith.  “All who care about freedom of information should demand that the threats made against Julian should be lifted,”  said British filmmaker Ken Loach, who was among the participants on June 19th, 2016 when people were supporting Assange because of the five year anniversary of his taking refuge in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. “He should be able to leave his place of safety without fear of deportation or being handed over to those who intend him harm.”
​
Our government seems to not be held accountable for forcing truth-tellers into prison and exile. We here in this country do not deserve a government that does this. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for a publisher like Assange and the whistleblowers like Manning and Snowden to be paying for this by giving up their liberty. Shame on our government for doing this.
Picture
Assange has  exposed war crimes and cover-ups,  serious abuses of state power besides pioneering a system of publication and collaborating with the media and human-rights group.  He has  the journalistic efforts of the  Panama Papers while also stirring other news organizations to copy the breakthrough or revolutionary ideas of WikiLeaks and at the same time to have source protection. If I was exposing stuff to Mr. Assange or someone else, I would want source protection, wouldn't you? When Assange started Wikileaks his mission was to expose the secrecy, lies and misbehavior so prevalent in governments today.

Oddly, some conservatives don't care for him either. They wish to honor their country and to support their nation. So his way of doing things upsets their apple cart. Tough! I could care less! He is not our enemy but our government seems to be doing a hell of a job being the one who is the true enemy. He is exposing large and serious crimes committed by people you trust. Good job I say!  So conservatives; pull up your big girl undies or skivvies and deal with it. As for liberals, some just hate him in general; particularly Hillary Clinton and President Obama.

What makes those who want to punish him so afraid? I am guessing that it is because he has published the truth about so many including Hillary Clinton.  Julian was scheduled to do to give a speech revealing a October 2016 surprise and when he did not many condemned him but they spoke too soon. With good reason he did not do so, and it  was because  "Clinton had once asked “Can’t we just drone this guy?” referring to Assange, "He is a soft target walking around freely and thumbing his nose without any fear of reprisals from the United States."

​You see the killing of Assange is not something she wants to do to protect America but to hide her sins and the President's sins.
You step out on a balcony when your life has been threatened and there are "security threats!"  Please, I invite you to be my guest.

As reported on Oct. 25, 2016 from WND Julian Assange got a question from MSNBC and Bloomberg senior political analyst Mark Halperin that was scribbled on a piece of paper. The question was "What aspect of the Podesta e-mails do you think the the U.S. media has under-reported?" The note came back (because Julian was very busy and could not give an interview) with one word Julian had written back to him..."Everything".  It was later confirmed as the real thing by Assange's lawyer. So there you are, everything has been ignored.

Now, ask yourself why the powerful and almighty Hillary would be scared of Julian Assange? Could it be because he has proof of things on her hidden and evil deeds like he has had on others. I would say so! You have no reason to threaten someone unless your deeds being exposed will come to the light of day.

​One such example is that this summer the people in Assange's group leaked embarrassing emails from the DNC which showed disdain for Bernie Sanders and his campaign for the Democrat nomination. The emails numbered into the thousands. As a result of this, the Chairwoman of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, resigned in complete disgrace the night before the Democrat convention. It could not have happened to a finer person; sarcasm intended.  

Of course when he was exposing George Bush the liberal types cheered and loved him. But now, he is after the camp of Clinton and it is a different story. So now, some conservatives are cheering for him and waiting with baited breath for each leak that might expose more of her. Clinton should be thrilled that Bush stated that Julian Assange "has willfully and repeatedly done great harm to the interests of the United States." Well so did you sir, so did you. That being said, Bush needed to be exposed then as does Hillary now!

Anyone who does their deeds in secret needs to be exposed. Job 12:22 states that " He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings deep shadows into the light. Oh, they will have their day when justice happens and all is known; it may not happen now, but it will, yes it will. 

​John Kerry, that unprincipled mouthpiece of evil wants a favor from Ecuador. He met with the officials of that country on unofficial business. Ecuador a favor. This taxpayer-funded man tried to get the country of Ecuador to come down on Assange and prevent him from publishing the emails on Hillary. He is a master of deceit! Of course the U.S. is denying that they asked the Ecuadorian Embassy to do anything. Right! And I have a piece of of the Brooklyn Bridge to sell you.  

Oct. 19 2016 the following statement by Assange  has claimed that a state actor has cut his link to the internet.
And all this do to his questions about the Democratic primaries and character questions about Hillary Clinton. My, my! More than a little strange and troubling.
WikiLeaks has also sent out three strange messages, each of them addressed to a different “state actor.”:
pre-commitment

1: John Kerry 4bb96075acadc3d80b5ac872874c3037a386f4f595fe99e687439aabd0219809
— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) October 16, 2016
pre-commitment
2: Ecuador

— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) October 16, 2016
pre-commitment
​3: UK FCO f33a6de5c627e3270ed3e02f62cd0c857467a780cf6123d2172d80d02a072f74
— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) October 16, 2016


The numbers could be a possible  “dead man’s switch,” which is intended to leak files if Assange’s dies and I would impagine in a questionable situation. This would also correlate with WikiLeaks’ who has mentioned  “contingency plans.” There is also the fact that the site itself isn’t sure which of these three possible actors is responsible for severing Assange’s internet access. Perhaps in truth all three are involved in the plot together. This story is going to get more interesting before it’s all said and done with especially since the country of Ecuador decided to shut down his internet for the length of the presidential campaign. They do not want their "policy of non-intervention to be misunderstood by actors in our country and even domestically in Ecuador" since the face the dilemma of appearing to interfere with our elections and thus retaliation may happen next year during their elections. Assange himself has said he’s sitting on more information even more explosive than he’s released thus far. It is possibly the tip of the iceberg and what we have seen is already very revealing.
  This shows how desperate they are as Julian has accused the Clinton campaign of attacking the servers used by WikiLeaks.  Assange claimed, "They attacked our servers and attempted hacking attacks and there is an amazing ongoing campaign where state documents were put in the UN and British courts to accuse me of being both a Russian spy and a pedophile,” he added. 
And the show goes on!!!!
In the above video it talks of one of the only things I agree with the UN on; that Mr. Assange has been held for over 5 years and that really angers me. But maybe he won't have to worry about that now as now rumors are going around he is dead. It may be awhile before we know the truth. I hope to God he is not.
 
But back to the question which I am asking of how the US can charge a non-US citizen with any crime for something or anything when it is outside of US soil.  I really don't understand why his country of origin would allow him to be tried either since it opens up the can of worms that another government from any country could try anyone for any law on its books. 
Ask our government that question and they will make up a fluff answer.
According to the message sent by WikiLeaks ✔@wikileaks at 8:47 PM - 20 Oct 2016 
There is:

no US election. There is power consolidation. Rigged primary, rigged media and rigged 'pied piper' candidate drive consolidation.
​I thoroughly believe him because Hillary has endured investigations, corruption and collusion between the FBI and the State Dept. not to leave out media collusion, and so much more including the DNC inciting violence at rallies. She is still walking free and clear and seemingly untouchable. The sheeple of the DNC and the RINOs of the Republican party want her in. If George Bush had done all this he would be in prison. In all actuality he too lied and covered up stuff. 


Picture
 Moving on to the crime of his raping a few women that the Swedish government is so determined to prosecute him on. I have never read of such a muddled mess about the crime of rape. Apparently, having sex in that loose-as-a-goose country without a condom brings with it a term of imprisonment of two years because there was no condom. Consensual sex that started out with a condom ended up without one so thus, the sex was not consensual. Say what? I am confused! Alright, then!

We now move to The Swedish Public Prosecutor's Office which has been embarrassed in August this year and with good reason. They had leaked to the media that they were seeking to arrest Assange for rape.
Now, bear in mind that they withdrew the arrest warrant on the same day because in their own words there was "no evidence!"  For Pete's sake, what is law and what is not here? Sweden should be the one on trial for stupidity. Thus, the evidence against him is precarious at best and stupid at worst. 

To top it off, feminists of the West are raising questions about the investigation and renewed confusion as to whether the country of Sweden has issued charges against Mr. Assange. Women by the name of Naomi Klein, Naomi Wolf and a group called Women Against Rape from Europe have questioned the nature and purpose of the prosecution; they are not the only ones, as having read Sweden's garbled law, so do I.  
 
The above video should be entitled Hillary Clinton: Liar,  Liar, Pants on Fire.
