Switzerland and the gun

Switzerland has long maintained its armed neutrality
Guns are deeply rooted within Swiss culture - but the gun crime rate is so low that statistics are not even kept.

JPFO ALERT: EXPLOITING A TRAGEDY

The gun-prohibitionists are taking full advantage of last
weeks' horrific killings at Virginia Tech University to
push more "gun-control" legislation in the form of HR 297,
The NICS Improvement Act of 2007. Introduced back in
January by Representative Carolyn McCarthy (aka the "Queen
of Gun Control"), HR 297 is intended among other things to
dangerously broaden the definition of "mental illness" for
the purpose of denying firearms purchases.

Section (102)(c)(3) states:

"The State shall make available to the Attorney General ...
the name and other relevant identifying information of
persons adjudicated as mentally defective or those
committed to mental institutions to assist the Attorney
General in enforcing section 922(g)(4) of title 18, United
States Code."

Can you imagine? ANYONE who has been to a mental
institution or "adjudicated as mentally defective" would
have their name and identifying information sent to the
federal government.

It doesn't matter if you needed assistance coping with the
devastating loss of a loved one or war-related post-
traumatic stress disorder. It doesn't matter if you only
stayed for a night because a spouse was worried about you.
Regardless of circumstances, your information would be
still be submitted and you would no longer be permitted to
purchase a firearm.

Two gun stories overshadowed by the Virginia massacre

Gunfight at bar leaves one wounded, another in custody

MANCHESTER – Bullets flew outside the Uptown Tavern
early yesterday when a peeved patron began shooting at
a doorman after being thrown out of the club. The
shooter himself was shot twice by an armed customer
who rushed to the bouncer's defense, a club owner and
police said.

========================

Remember: New Hampshire has about the least gun
control in the country. No permission need for open
carry except in courts (as far as I know), and
concealed weapons permits are issued automatically
upon request and payment of a $15 fee. New Hampshire
is the safest state in America.

What might have happened had an armed customer not
rushed to the bouncer’s defence? Hmmm?

Japanese mayor killed by gangster

By CHISAKI WATANABE, Associated Press Writer, Wed Apr
18, 4:53 AM ET

TOKYO - When Nagasaki's mayor was fatally shot in
southern Japan, it wasn't much of a surprise that a
gangster was arrested for the attack. In a country
where regular citizens face strict gun laws, the mob
does most of the shooting.

===================

That last sentence is so important, it merits a
repeat: “In a country where regular citizens face
strict gun laws, the mob does most of the shooting.”

Was there a part of that sentence that you missed? One
more time: “In a country where regular citizens face
strict gun laws, the mob does most of the shooting.”

If you or anyone you know still don’t get it, there’s
a reason for the cliché: “If guns are outlawed, only
outlaws will carry guns.” And the reason for that
cliché is this: “If guns are outlawed, only outlaws
will carry guns.”

Keep natural health modalities legal

There is a crisis in health freedom. On April 30, 2007 the FDA will close the public comment period on a "Guidance" which will classify every alternative practice as medicine so that only licensed physicians can carry out the procedure AND vitamins, minerals, herbs, etc., will suddenly become "untested drugs" which will be forbidden.


Bad? Real Bad! But public outcry can stop this assault on your health and your freedom.

Spread the word! Tell everyone in your Circle of Influence, professionals, alternative practitioners, nutrient and herb companies, everyone! Let them know how important their participation is to make sure the FDA backs off from this repressive course.

Update from the road

Hello Folks,
That silence between 14 December and now is nothing to worry about. Still alive and well. I'm currently in Sacramento. I've moved out of the house in Missoula and I'm preparing to move to New Hampshire as an "early mover" of the Free State Project. The biggest and best news at this moment is that I now have new help with the video uploading and website. Several episodes of Sovereign Solutions can now be seen freely on line, and more are being added almost daily. Thanks to Christian Blackburn, who does computer work for a living. Let me know if you need such help in or near Sacramento.

Debut of the 'amero'

Thanks to "Basil Fishbone" :
How do We the People STOP the North American Union? Simple, We the People
should now remove ourselves from these United States, Montana and New
Hampshire both have clauses to secede from the Union. It should be done NOW.
This will also STOP the draft of our young men and women into this insane
war. If we do not do this now or soon, there will ONLY be one last option, and
you do not want to use it if at all possible.

Debut of the 'amero'

By Judi McLeod

Thursday, December 14, 2006

The People's Republic of China, long lauded by America's enemies as the
world's next economic power, will be the country that will force the
creation of the `North American Union' (NAU).

Kofi Annan's former pointman, Canadian Maurice Strong, has been boasting
from Chinese soil that China soon would be replacing America as economic
king, using the jingo that's the official language at Turtle Bay.

The billions of dollars China has invested in the flagging American
economy will be worthless. They will have to negotiate the exchange rate to
the new amero. This will then force the creation of the North American
Union.

Big Pharma Juggernaut Rolls To Victory - Health Freedom Reels

Yes, the fox is now officially in charge of the henhouse. Over the
objection of a small handful of Senators Big Pharma couldn't buy, Andrew
von Eschenbach, M.D, was confirmed to head the FDA. His clearly stated
agenda is, and always has been, speeding new and dangerous drugs onto the
market with little testing for safety or effectiveness. Von Eschenbach
would like to turn every doctor's office in America into a large clinical
trial run by an FDA supercomputer, he would like a computer chip in your
arm, and your DNA in his supercomputer.....

A Young Marine Speaks Out

Smart kid. I didn't figure any of this out till about ten years after I got out of the Marines.

DIGG THIS

I'm sick and tired of this patriotic, nationalistic and fascist crap. I stood through a memorial service today for a young Marine that was killed in Iraq back in April. During this memorial a number of people spoke about the guy and about his sacrifice for the country. How do you justify 'sacrificing' your life for a war which is not only illegal, but is being prosecuted to the extent where the only thing keeping us there is one man's power, and his ego. A recent Marine Corps intelligence report that was leaked said that the war in the al-Anbar province is unwinnable. It said that there was nothing we could do to win the hearts and minds, or the military operations in that area. So I wonder, why are we still there? Democracy is not forced upon people at gunpoint. It's the result of forward thinking individuals who take the initiative and risks to give their fellow countrymen a better way of life.

When I joined I took an oath. In that oath I swore to protect the Constitution of the United States. I didn't swear to build democracies in countries on the other side of the world under the guise of "national security." I didn't join the military to be part of an Orwellian ("1984") war machine that is in an obligatory war against whoever the state deems the enemy to be so that the populace can be controlled and riled up in a pro-nationalistic frenzy to support any new and oppressive law that will be the key to destroying the enemy. Example given – the Patriot Act. So aptly named, and totally against all that the constitution stands for. President Bush used the reactionary nature of our society to bring our country together and to infuse into the national psyche a need to give up their little-used rights in the hope to make our nation a little safer. The same scare tactics he used to win elections. He drones on and on about how America and the world would be a less safe place if we weren't killing Iraqis, and that we'd have to fight the terrorists at home if we weren't abroad. In our modern day emotive society this strategy (or strategery?) works, or had worked, up until last month's elections.

My point in this; to show that America was never nationalistic. If anything they were Statalistic (giving their allegiance to the state of their residence). This is shown in the fact that the founders created states with fully capable and independent governments and not provinces that were just a division of the federal government. These men believed that America was a place where imperialistic values would be non-existent. Where the people trying to make their lives better by working hard, thinking, inventing and using the free market would tie up so much of normal life that imperialistic colonization and the fighting of wars thousands of miles away for interests that are not our own would be avoided. They believed this expansion of power could be left to the European nations, the England, France and Spain of their time. However this recent, and current influx of nationalistic feeling has created an environment where giving up your rights, going to a foreign country to fight a people who did not ask for us to be there, nor did their leader do anything to warrant us being there, and dying would be considered honorable and heroic. I don't believe it anymore. I don't believe it's right for any American to go along with it anymore. Yes I know that we in the military are bound by the UCMJ and somehow don't fall under the Constitution (the very thing we're suppose to be defending) but sooner or later there is a decision that every American soldier, marine, airmen and seamen makes to allow themselves to be sent to a war that is against every fiber this country was founded on. I know that when April rolls around I will be thinking long and hard on that decision. Even though we in the military are just doing as we're told we still have the moral and ethical obligation to choose to do as we're told, or to say, "No, that isn't right." I believe that if more troopers like me and the professional military, the officers and commanders, start standing up and saying that they won't let themselves or their troops go to this illegal war people will start standing up and realizing what the heck is going on over there.

Preparing to move

Here's an update from the producer. You may have notice that the calendar and blog has be neglected. As I am preparing to move it seems there is always something more important to do. I plan to leave Missoula the 23rd of December, and do a loop of the Western states for about five months. I plan to return to Missoula in Spring, tie up loose ends, then hitch up the trailer and move on to New Hampshire. I plan to arrive in New Hampshire in June in time for the fourth annual Porcupine Festival. See www.freestateproject.org for details about the Free State Project, of which I am a member. If you are a liberty-oriented individual, I hope to see you there.

Meanwhile, look for the "final installment", which is a documentary about the Free State Project and my pilgrimage and farewell to Montana. Sovereign Solutions will continue to broadcast reruns as long as possible.

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. (AP) - An Ethiopian immigrant was convicted Wednesday of the genital mutilation of his 2-year-old daughter and was sentenced to 10 years in prison in what was believed to be the first such criminal case in the United States.

Khalid Adem, 30, was found guilty of aggravated battery and cruelty to children. Prosecutors said he used scissors to remove his daughter's clitoris in his family's Atlanta-area apartment in 2001. The child's mother, Fortunate Adem, said she did not discover it until more than a year later.

Naturopaths Recommend Organic Food for Detoxification of Cancer Cells
• Newindpress - Chennai, India, October 8 2006
Straight to the Source
NEW DELHI: Many people are falling prey to cancer due to increased stress and strain induced lifestyle, and unhealthy eating habits, according to a study by National Academy of Naturopathy.

"The food taken in does not provide live atoms to the body cells. The cells are starved from nutrition and clogged with toxins called cellular constipation leading to mal-absorption and diseases. This in turn brings down immunity which invites host of illness and suffering," says Dr Hemalatha Murthy of the National Academy of Naturopathy.

"The right approach to treat is to adopt naturopathic principles, which emphasise on detoxification, reliving cellular constipation by providing live (organic) food. The live food has enzymes which act as catalyst for detoxification and absorption of nutrients," she adds.

Animal ID plan angers some farmers

Animal ID plan angers some farmers
System aims to track livestock during outbreak

By Mimi Hall
USA TODAY

SWOOPE, Va. — A thousand turkeys, 500 cattle, 300 pigs, 1,900 chickens and
four generations of the Salatin family share the grassland on this 550-acre
farm in the Shenandoah Mountains.

Now, Joel Salatin is worried the government will make it impossible for his
25-year-old son and his two young grandsons to keep the family business
going for the generations to come.

He has joined a growing national grass-roots movement against an ambitious
new government disease-fighting program that asks every farm in the nation
to register its animals. The aim of the program, called the National Animal
Identification System (NAIS), is to make it easier to track down animals
during a disease outbreak that threatens humans and livestock.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander

LAWRENCEVILLE, Georgia (AP) -- The trial of an Atlanta-area father accused of circumcising his 2-year-old daughter with scissors is focusing attention on an ancient African practice that experts say is slowly becoming more common in the U.S. as immigrant communities grow.

Khalid Adem, a 30-year-old immigrant from Ethiopia, is charged with aggravated battery and cruelty to children.

Human rights observers said they believe this is the first criminal case in the U.S. involving the 5,000-year-old practice.

Prosecutors say Adem used scissors to remove his daughter's clitoris in their apartment in 2001. The child's mother said she did not discover it until more than a year later.

Bush Moves Toward Martial Law

Bush Moves Toward Martial Law

Written by Frank Morales
Thursday, 26 October 2006

In a stealth maneuver, President Bush has signed into law a provision
which, according to Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), will actually
encourage the President to declare federal martial law (1). It does so by
revising the Insurrection Act, a set of laws that limits the President's
ability to deploy troops within the United States. The Insurrection Act (10
U.S.C.331 -335) has historically, along with the Posse Comitatus Act (18
U.S.C.1385), helped to enforce strict prohibitions on military involvement in
domestic law enforcement. With one cloaked swipe of his pen, Bush is seeking
to undo those prohibitions.
