Revolution

     I am a follower of Christ!  I went to Bible College to be a Pastor.  I married my college sweetheart and just had my first baby boy.  I have studied Church and American history most of my life and yet I find myself coming back every single day to this one word:  Revolution.  It has been my desire, my calling to lead people to God.  To help lost souls find freedom and liberty in Jesus Christ.  It has been my calling to instruct people in the ways of Christ.  I have lived every single day to advance the Kingdom of the one I serve.  The reason I study American history and love my country so much it because America was founded on the very same principles that I try to live my life by.  America WAS founded on Christian principles!!  Our Founders used the Bible to help build this great Republic.

     Because of this I have felt it my calling and duty to also advance the cause of Freedom and Liberty in America.  I am a Constitutionalist.  I am a supporter of freedom and liberty for EVERY man, woman, boy, and girl of ALL races, religions, creeds, and faiths.  America is free because of the principles she was built on!!  America is great because of the ideals of which she was established on.  America and Freedom go hand and hand.  America and the Christian faith go hand and hand.  No other nation in the world is free because no other nation has been built on Judao-Christian values!!

     It is for this reason that I WILL fight for this nation.  I believe that God was involved in the building and establishing of this nation!!!  You may not agree with me but I will gladly fight for your right to not agree with me!!  I MUST fight against injustice and tyranny because all injustice and tyranny IS evil!!  Our nation is undergoing a radical shift from freedom and liberty to tyranny and despotism.  The ONLY way we can stop it is to FIGHT against it.  Protest!!  Run for office!!  Remove the evil that is killing our great nation!!

     The ONLY way America will be Free again is for the GOOD people of this nation to rise up and take a stand against tyranny, against state run media lies, against the purposeful destruction of our currency, against the right vs. left paradigm, against the dissolving of our boarders.  WE MUST STAND FOR AND ON OUR CONSTITUTION!!  Our Constitution is the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND!!!  EVERYTHING THAT GOES AGAINST IT IS TO BE DISOBEYED!!!!  America is a great land not because of our government.  Not because of our military.  Not because of our wealth.  But because of the principles this nation was built upon!!  We WILL see Liberty and Freedom reign in America again!!!!  For now we must fight in this Second American Revolution to return our nation to her foundations.  To bring America back on track with the Constitution.  Our nation needs us!!  Our children need us!!  The WORLD needs us to stand and fight!!  For is America falls, so also does the rest of the world.  So also does freedom and liberty around the world.  WE MUST LET OUR LIGHT SHINE ONCE AGAIN!!!  Until next time.

 

God Bless America,

                   Shawn

ACLU highlights ‘Constitution-Free Zone’ 100 miles from border

This past summer, Craig Johnson joined dozens of other activists in a San Diego-area park to protest the expansion of a fence along the US-Mexico border. 

An associate professor at Point Loma Nazarene University, Johnson says he took his two children, aged 8 and 10, to Border Field State Park in Imperial Beach in June. Scores of border patrol agents were on the scene, Johnson said, and some were recording license plate numbers from protesters’ cars parked a more than a mile away from the border. 

It seems that Johnson’s participation in the anti-fence demonstration may have landed him on a government watch list that has inhibited his ability to travel freely between the US and Mexico. A professor of Music, Johnson said he traveled to Tijuana about a week after the protest; upon returning to the US, Johnson says he was handcuffed and arrested by customs agents after a listing associated with his name pegged him as armed and dangerous.

“I was thoroughly and aggressively searched. … Every inch and crack and crevice of my body was poked and prodded,” Johnson said. “I was in complete bewilderment of what was going on; I felt violated and frankly was embarrassed.”

Prior to that visit, Johnson said he had traveled regularly between the US and Mexico for a variety of reasons without facing any harassment. After the June visit, Johnson said he did not cross the border again until October, when he decided to go simply to see whether he could re-enter the country easily. He was subjected to the same harassment. 

“It took me four months to return to Mexico,” he said. “Not because I’m afraid of traveling outside my own country, but rather because I’m afraid of returning home.”

Johnson spoke Wednesday at a gathering organized by the American Civil Liberties Union, which is highlighting the extent to which the Department of Homeland Security is expanding the authority it claims at US border crossings to infringe upon Americans rights.

The ACLU says a “Constitution-free zone” exists within 100 miles of the US border, where DHS claims the authority to stop, search and detain anyone for any reason. Nearly two-thirds of the US population lives within 100 miles of the border, according to the ACLU, and the border zone encompasses scores of major metropolitan areas and even entire states.

Customs and Border Patrol, a component of DHS, was authorized by Congress to operate within a “reasonable” distance of the border, and that distance has been set at 100 miles in regulations governing CBP, the ACLU says. The authorization has been in place for decades, but complaints about abuses of the extended border zone began to ramp up as CBP was expanded and folded into DHS after 9/11. 

Also of concern, according to the group, is the border patrol’s use of massive databases and watch lists to screen travelers. Much remains unknown about how those lists are compiled and it is exceedingly difficult for a person to be removed from the list once he or she is added to it. 

ACLU affiliates around the country have fielded dozens of calls from people claiming they were harassed by border agents, and the group believes there are untold numbers of other victims who are afraid to come forward. 

No lawsuits have yet been filed against DHS or CBP, but the ACLU says its attorneys in border states are preparing cases. 

“Part of what we’re trying to do is to draw our own line in the sand here and say this has to stop,” Barry Steinhardt, director of the ACLU’s Technology and Liberty Program, said Wednesday. “We cannot determine two-thirds of America as a Constitution free zone.”

DHS 33 “interior checkpoints” that are monitored by the border patrol, according to a 2005 Government Accountability Office report. The ACLU assumes more checkpoints have been established since then, and group affiliates have complained about checkpoints as far as 93 miles from the border.

ACLU lobbyists are working with members of Congress to rein in DHS’s border authority. Caroline Fredrickson, the group’s chief legislative counsel, praised a measure introduced by Sen. Russ Feingold and others to ban suspicionless laptop searches at the border. 

“We need to restore the Constitution to the Constitution-free zone,” Fredrickson said. 

Wednesday’s event also featured a video testimonial from Vince Peppard, another San Diegoan who faced trouble from border agents. Peppard said he was stopped at least 20 miles inside the border on a return trip from Mexico. He refused to open his trunk “on a matter of principle” and was detained for about 30 minutes.

“I didn’t feel like I was in the United States,” he says. “I felt like I was in some kind of police state.”

My Tea Party Observations

I must begin by saying that the Baton Rouge Tea Party was great!!  I loved being around people who actually knew that our country is begin hijacked by criminals that pose as our representatives!!  The speakers were great and their messages were timely.  With all that is taking place so fast in our nation it was a breath of fresh air to see that there IS hope for America!!!  However, I must admit that I am very discouraged by the lack of attendance by the Church!!  WHERE WERE YOU GOD’S PEOPLE???!!!!  I’m not saying there were not Christians there, I’m just saying that with a city that boasts at least 3 mega churches of at least 3000 people, where were they?

Not only that but there was a rally from 11-1 that morning by Christians affirming that America was, is, and will always be a Christian nation, but only about 200 people showed up.  Most of those people where NOT even from Baton Rouge!!!  I am ashamed of the American Church and it’s laziness.  It cares more that Michael Jackson died then on defending America against tyranny and oppression!!

The reason America is in the condition it is in is not because of homosexuality, porn, drugs, etc.  IT’S BECAUSE OF THE INACTIVITY OF THE CHURCH!!!!!  We have a dictator……..er……President who has done the exact same things in his first 100 days that Casto did in Cuba!!!  And the Church is DOING NOTHING!!!!!!  We talk about social justice and helping the poor but really it’s just because it’s in vogue right now!!!  If American Christians really cared they would FIGHT to return America to a Constitutional form of government which would eliminate an oppressive tax system.  Which in turn would give people more money which would allow for more giving (it is a fact that when people have more money, they give more.  When taxes are low people act and give more generously).

Life would return to being a right and not something that can be disposed of if it is unwanted!!

The government would be held in check from spending beyond it’s means and would be forced to act according to how the people say it should.

We would get rid of the Federal Reserve (Which is no more federal then federal express!!).  Which would bring about never before seen prosperity in America as we return to the gold standard.

I could go on and on but I think it’s HIGH TIME that the Church in America wake up to the fact that WE are the reason a child murdering dictator sits in the highest position of power in the land.  WE are the reason abortions are being done to the tune of 3000 EVERYDAY!!!  WE are the reason corruption is strangling our officials!!  WE MUST GET ACTIVE!!!!!  If we don’t America will be thrown on the trash heap of history as another broken empire.  Let’s pray that does not happen.  Until next time.

Much love,

Shawn

Shreveport Citizens Disarmed By Police For 2nd Amendment Bumper Stickers

 

Argue With Everyone
July 7, 2009

Welcome to Shreveport: Your rights are now suspended.According to Cedric Glover, mayor of Shreveport, Louisiana, his cops “have a power that [. . .] the President of these Unites States does not have”: His cops can take away your rights.

Cedric Glover, mayor of Shreveport, Louisiana, claims to have the authority to suspend the Constitution.

And would you like to guess which rights he has in mind?

Just ask Shreveport resident Robert Baillio, who got pulled over for having two pro-gun bumper stickers on the back of his truck — and had his gun confiscated.

While the officer who pulled him over says Baillio failed to use his turn signal, the only questions he had for Baillio concerned guns: Whether he had a gun, where the gun was, and if he was a member of the NRA. No requests for a driver’s licence, proof of insurance, or vehicle registration — and no discussion of a turn signal.

Accordingly, Baillio told the officer the truth, which led the police officer to search his car without permission and confiscate his gun.

However, not only does Louisiana law allow resident to drive with loaded weapons in their vehicles, but Mr. Baillio possessed a concealed carry license!

What does such behavior demonstrate, other than transparent political profiling — going so far as to use the infamous Department of Homeland Security report on “Americans of a rightwing persuasion” as a how-to guidebook, no less?

Mr. Baillio made no secret of his political affiliations: An American flag centers a wide flourish of pro-freedom stickers and decals on his back windshield.

In fact, when Baillio asked the officer if everyone he pulls over gets the same treatment, the officer said no and pointed to the back of his truck.

Baillio phoned Mayor Glover to complain about this “suspension of rights” only to find that his city’s morbidly obese “commander in chief” was elated at the story: According to Glover, Baillio got “served well, protected well, and even got a consideration that maybe [he] should not have gotten.”

Thankfully, Mr. Baillio recorded a good bit of that phone call. You can watch a video with the transcriptions here. I’ve reproduced a chunk of the call below:

Baillio: (in the context of being asked about the presence of a gun) Well, I answered that question honestly, and he disarmed me.

Glover: Which would be an appropriate and proper action, sir. The fact that you gave the correct answer — it simply means that you did what it is you were supposed to have done, and that is to give that weapon to the police officer so he could appropriately place it in a place where it would not be a threat to you, to him, or to anyone in the general public.

[. . .]

 

• A D V E R T I S E M E N T
• 

Glover: My direction to you is that, had you chosen not to properly identify the fact that you had a weapon and directed that officer to where that weapon was located; had you been taken from the vehicle, and the officer, in the interest of his safety, chose to secure you in a safe position, and then looked, found, and determined that you did, in fact, have a weapon…then, sir, you would have faced additional, [inaudible], and more severe criminal sanctions.

 

Baillio: So what you’re saying is: I give up all my rights to keep and bear arms if I’m stopped by the police: Is that correct?

Glover: Sir, you have no right, when you have been pulled over by a police officer for a potential criminal offense [which would be what?! - DB] to stand there with your weapon at your side in your hand [Baillio's weapon was nowhere near his side or his hand, and Glover knew that. -- DB] because of your second amendment rights, sir. That does not mean at that point your second amendment right has been taken away; it means at that particular point in time, it has been suspended.

——————————————————————————————-

Will Grigg from ProLibertate, an excellent freedom blog, has this to say:

According to Glover, a police officer may properly disarm any civilian at any time, and the civilian’s duty is to surrender his gun — willingly, readily, cheerfully, without cavil or question.

From Glover’s perspective, it is only when firearms are in the hands of people other than the state’s uniformed enforcers/oppressors that they constitute a threat, not only to the public and those in charge of exercising official violence but also to the private gun owner himself.

NAGR spoke with Mr. Baillio, and he told us that he’s in the process of securing the official procedures and codes for firearm handling and private property confiscation for the Shreveport police department.

So far, the city has been half-heartedly cooperating with him.

“I felt sick,” Baillio told NAGR. “My uncles didn’t die for this country so I could surrender my rights like a wimp. I felt terrible. I was just thinking of all that my family has done for freedom in this nation — including dying — and here they are disarming me at a traffic stop.”

What to do?

1. Read Luke’s commentary here, and participate in the discussion by leaving a comment.
2. Send this around. This kind of behavior cannot go unchecked.
3. Call Mayor Glover’s office to complain: (318) 673-5050.

I’ll leave you with one last consideration. As a licensed firearms instructor in charge of a hundred different students every month, I’m often asked if citizens should voluntarily inform police officers of the presence of a firearm during a routine traffic stop.

While different states have different laws, my answer for Colorado citizens is an emphatic “No”: Colorado law doesn’t require you to volunteer that kind of information, and this case in Louisiana proves why, if at all possible, you should never invite trouble by doing so.

In liberty,

I concur, do not offer any information that is not pertenent to the traffic stop. What say you? What does your local/state laws say?

Secret FEMA Plan To Use Pastors as Pacifiers in Preparation For Martial Law

Nationwide initiative trains volunteers to teach congregations to “obey the government” during seizure of guns, property, forced inoculations and forced relocation

Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | May 24 2006

A Pastor has come forward to blow the whistle on a nationwide FEMA program which is training Pastors and other religious representatives to become secret police enforcers who teach their congregations to “obey the government” in preparation for a declaration of martial law, property and firearm seizures, and forced relocation.

In March of this year the Pastor, who we shall refer to as Pastor Revere, was invited to attend a meeting of his local FEMA chapter which circulated around preparedness for a potential bio-terrorist attack, any natural disaster or a nationally declared emergency.

The FEMA directors told the Pastors that attended that it was their job to help implement FEMA and Homeland Security directives in anticipation of any of these eventualities. The first directive was for Pastors to preach to their congregations Romans 13, the often taken out of context bible passage that was used by Hitler to hoodwink Christians into supporting him, in order to teach them to “obey the government” when martial law is declared.

It was related to the Pastors that quarantines, martial law and forced relocation were a problem for state authorities when enforcing federal mandates due to the “cowboy mentality” of citizens standing up for their property and second amendment rights as well as farmers defending their crops and livestock from seizure. It was stressed that the Pastors needed to preach subservience to the authorities ahead of time in preparation for the round-ups and to make it clear to the congregation that “this is for their own good.”

We have received confirmation from other preachers and Pastors that this program is a nationwide initiative and a literal Soviet model whereby the churches are being systematically infiltrated by government volunteers and used as conduits for martial law training and conditioning. The Pastor was told that over 1,300 counties were already on board.

It falls under the umbrella of the NVOAD program which is training volunteers in a “Peer to Peer” program in a neighborhood setting.

Pastors were told that the would be backed up by law enforcement in controlling uncooperative individuals and that they would even lead SWAT teams in attempting to quell resistance.

Police provide cover for a FEMA house-by-house search in New Orleans.

“We get the the picture that we’re going to be standing at the end of some farmer’s lane while he’s standing there with his double barrel, saying we have to confiscate your cows, your chickens, your firearms,” said Pastor Revere.

The Pastor elaborated on how the directives were being smoke screened by an Orwellian alteration of their names.

“They’re not using the term ‘quarantine’ – this is the term they’re going to be using – it’s called ’social distancing’ don’t you like that one,” said the Pastor.

He also highlighted how detention camps had been renamed to give them a friendly warm veneer.

“Three months ago it was quarantine and relocation centers and now it’s ‘community centers’ and these are going to be activated at the local schools,” he said.

Pastor Revere outlined the plan to carry out mass vaccination and enforced drugging programs in times of crisis such as a bird flu outbreak.

“In the event of an outbreak or a bio-terrorist attack, there’d be a mass vaccination….they have a program nationwide ‘Pills in People’s Palm In 48 Hours’,” said the Pastor who was told that Walmart had been designated as the central outlet of this procedure.

Pastor Revere said that many attendees believed in the necessity of the program and were completely unaware to the motivations behind its true purpose and were offered incentives to become volunteers such as preferential treatment and first access for themselves and their families to vaccines and food shipments in times of emergency.

Which roads to close off after martial law was declared had also already been mapped out.

The precedent for mass gun confiscation in times of real or manufactured emergency was set during Hurricane Katrina when police and national guard patrols forced homeowners even in areas unaffected by the hurricane to hand over their legally owned firearms at gunpoint as is detailed in the video below.

In the following video Alex Jones exposes FEMA’s deliberate sabotage of Hurricane Katrina relief efforts which were used as a platform for a beat test of forced relocation and gun confiscation.

Alex Jones’ 2001 documentary film 9/11: The Road to Tyranny featured footage from a FEMA symposium given to firefighters and other emergency personnel in Kansas City in which it was stated that the founding fathers, Christians and homeschoolers were terrorists and should be treated with the utmost suspicion and brutality in times of national emergency.

We have highlighted previous training manuals issues by state and federal government bodies which identify whole swathes of the population as potential terrorists. A Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Law Enforcement pamphlet gives the public characteristics to identify terrorists that include buying baby formula, beer, wearing Levi jeans, carrying identifying documents like a drivers license and traveling with women or children.

A Virginia training manual used to help state employees recognize terrorists lists anti-government and property rights activists as terrorists and includes binoculars, video cameras, pads and notebooks in a compendium of terrorist tools.

Shortly after 9/11 a Phoenix FBI manual that was disseminated amongst federal employees at the end of the Clinton term caused waves on the Internet after it was revealed that potential terrorists included, “defenders of the US Constitution against federal government and the UN, ” and individuals who “make numerous references to the US Constitution.” Lawyers everywhere cowered in fear at being shipped off to Gitmo.

In December 2003 the FBI warned Americans nationwide to be on the lookout for people reading Almanacs as this could indicate an act of terrorism in planning. Almanacs are popular glove box inventory of any vehicle and this ludicrous fearmongering was met with a raucous response from satirists and news commentators.

In another twilight zone Nazi-like spectacle, Pastors were asked to make a pledge or an affirmation during the meeting to fulfil the roles ascribed to them by FEMA. They were given assurances that they would be covered by full compensation in the event of resisters injuring them during property seizures and round-ups.

The Pastor said that his county had already succumbed to a tattle-tale like mentality where neighbors were reporting neighbors to the authorities for things like having chickens in their back yard. The brown shirt precedent has been set whereby people immediately turn to the authorities in fealty whenever their paranoid suspicions, fueled by zealous government and media fearmongering, are heightened.

Pastor Revere said the completion of the first stage of the program was slated for August 31st. At this point all the counties within the United States would be networked as part of the so-called disaster relief program.

We issue a challenge to all of our readers to print off this article and thesupporting documents and confront their local preacher with it. If they don’t receive a response within a week they should investigate further into whether their preacher is involved and hand out information to other members of the congregation.

It’s been a long few months…..

I think I could really just post the title to this blog and end it there and everyone would agree.  I know for some people this year has brought more then it’s share of hardships.  I know for my family it’s been a while since we’ve really just had the chance to catch a breather and truly relax.  Kaitlyn has had two major staph infections that have had to be cut out in the last two months,  Truett is just now starting to really like taking a bottle which is good because he lost a little weight in the beginning of all this, and business has hit an all time low for our company, etc. etc.

I know for many of you that read this blog that life has brought you some difficult times as well.  I would like to encourage you in the fact that as of right now God is with you.  For Kaitlyn and I during this time we are seeing that God is calling us to a closer walk and relationship with Him.  I believe that He is also stretching us to see if we will really trust Him with our lives, finances, health, etc.

I must admit that over the last couple of days I have spent a lot of time in tears.  As a couple, Kaitlyn and I have experienced great brokenness and I can sense that what we have experienced is just the beginning.  A few things I hold on too is that God IS faithful!!!  I know sometimes I believe that more in my head then in my heart, but I am really trying to get that truth to sink deep in my hard heart.

Another thing I am seeing God do is to balance out the many things that He is doing in my life.  I have the great opportunity to meet with many powerful people within our State and Federal government and I take that opportunity with great care.  I love my country and I love it’s history.  I believe that if we return to the teachings, ideals, and foundations on which this nation was built we will experience more prosperity and growth then we ever have before.  However, if we don’t I believe that the America we know will fall away into the pages of history as just another society that ran it’s course.  I pray that’s not the case.

The great thing is in all of this is that God is sharpening my vision to plant a church here in the Baton Rouge area.  I know I haven’t shared that here before but that is where Kaitlyn and I believe God is leading us.  Because I have spent a bunch of time in the political arena I have been putting the vision for a church on the backburner.  One of the reasons for that is because of the timing.  We believe we have a few years before anything really begins to happen as God is preparing us and the team He will send to us.

I must admit that I have spent a great deal of time in the political arena as of late.  It is now my understanding that I believe God is going to use me to teach the American Church the principles that built this great nation.  Most Christians today have no idea of America’s rich religious history and it’s high time we learn it before the very liberties we have will be taken from us.  For now I will do what I can waking up people to the American ideas that built this nation.  The ideals found in God’s Word.  I will also be behind the scenes preparing for our church plant.  I have also gotten a great opportunity in business that could really be a blessing, not only to me but to others as well.  I will be building that and sharing that with you, my readers as I can.  For now I hope I have cought you up to date on what’s going on in my world and pray that you are doing well also.  Until next time.

Much love,

Shawn

Shawn’s Updates

     I know it’s been a little while since my last real post and for that I am sorry.  My life has been really busy over the last few months and I haven’t had a lot of time to really post anything good from my heart.  As it stands right now my wife Kaitlyn is fighting another infection.  That would make two in the last two months.  I must say that this one has been a little easier to deal with, but it is bigger then the last.  We also found out the other day that because of the current recession we would be losing a significant part of our income.  I do believe this is God stretching us and drawing us closer to Him.

     The reason I say that is because if I am real honest with myself, we as a family have had it pretty easy over the last few years.  With all the God is doing in our lives I believe He is seeing if we will truly trust Him with our whole life and heart.  I must admit that this time is uncomfortable and trying but I believe with ALL my heart that God is taking us deeper then we have ever been before.  Please be in prayer for us as we seek to remain in God’s will and trusting Him for provision.

     We’ve also had some great opportunities come our way that could really help us launch the vision that God has given to us.  Pray that we will be able to see God’s hand and hear from Him in these matters.  Until next time.

Much love,
