Oath Keepers on the Washington action.

Oath Keepers on the Olympiaaction. Washington State Patriots Preparing To Be Arrested, Will Not Back Down!

In addition, there is this statemnent from Stewart Rhodes:

NOTE FROM STEWART: Members of Oath Keepers, I fully support this rally and planned peaceful civil disobedience and I encourage you to attend if you can. However, I want to make it clear that each of you have multiple options here:

1. You can go and simply participate in the rally (and you can choose to do so armed or unarmed – personally, I would be armed, since it is an open carry rally, but that is an individual choice).

2. You can go and outreach to the police and encourage them to respect and protect the rights of the protesters. That is a vital task that we Oath Keepers are pretty good at, and we should be doing that.

3. And/or you can also go into the Gallery of the legislature with the others who intend on using civil disobedience against the new rule put in place by the Speaker of the Legislature, that bans the open carry of firearms in the Gallery for the first time in WA state history (and make sure they know this is only a rule by the speaker, not even a law). If you do choose to take part in the peaceful civil disobedience, go there willing to follow the instructions of the organizers of the event, and the leaders there, such as Rep. Matt Shea, Anthony Bosworth, and MIke Vanderboegh, and go there willing to be arrested, in case that is the outcome (that is what peaceful civil disobedience is all about, after all – it is defying some edict, while knowing you may be arrested for doing so, and being willing to go through that experience).

You can do any one of the above, or all of the above. Personally, if I was able to be there (I am handling a family emergency at the moment that keeps me from attending), I would do all three. I would participate in the open carry rally, I would outreach to the police there, and I would participate in the civil disobedience. Such civil disobedience is necessary in the fight to restore our Republic, and in our mission to defend the Constitution. But each person needs to make a decision for themselves about what they are willing to do at any such event. Not all are at the point of being ready to risk arrest while undertaking peaceful civil disobedience. And that is fine. I do encourage you to begin to exercise those civil disobedience “muscles” but that is an individual choice. I will point out, however, that civil disobedience is a much honored American tradition, starting with the Founding Generation which intentionally refused to comply with multiple edicts, statutes, and rules set by Parliament and King. They refused to comply and used peaceful civil disobedience for many years leading up to the outset of fighting. They held town hall meeting right under the nose of General Gage, in direct violation of an edict of Parliament that banned town hall meetings. They smuggled around egregious restrictions on where they could send their ships and cargo. They refused to pay unjust taxes, and they circumvented or openly defied multiple other statutes passed by Parliament, and multiple acts by the Royal Governors. Civil disobedience, nullification, and defiance were the life-blood of the cause of the Colonists in the years leading up to the outbreak of the actual American Revolution. Learn from their example, and get yourself ready to use the same tactics, which will nor only further the cause of liberty, but will help you to become stronger in your hearts and minds.

I have attended multiple open carry rallies, and I have participated in several acts of civil disobedience, and I can tell you from personal experience, that it is good for the soul. I encourage you to go if you can.

For the Republic,

Stewart Rhodes

I was wanting to comment with the following, waiting for and appropriate topic over the last few days, but find this one best, as it will best be seen on other sites as well as yours. It's a small thing, but may help a few people when/if they get arrested, to avoid assisting the tyrants in their purpose of repression by adding to their already burgeoning database on us, specifically the biometrics (fingerprints and photographs).

Consider this: our facial features and fingerprints are our most personal, most private 'property'. They are unique to each one of us. The famous amongst society (stars, models) use contracts with their employers to limit who can use their features for gain in private settings. Obviously when out in public it's difficult, if not impossible, to limit photographers, but images of fingerprints are not 'taken' from them - at least not openly or without their permission. And that is the point here, that any 'taking' of images of our face and fingerprints is just that - a 'TAKING' of our property. For any other kind of property, we resist that unlawful taking, requiring the individual or government to submit to a lawful (or legal) PROCESS. But when we're being 'booked' what do we do? We usually cave in to our jailor's demands, thinking that it's something required of us.

It's not.

That part of the incarceration process is policy or procedure - but applies to the employees of the corporate governments - NOT US. We do not sign any contract with these corporations unless and until we work for them. We owe them NO DUTY to abide by their corporate policies and procedures, especially in the case of those who do not live in those states or counties or cities, because we do not receive any benefit from them, but primarily because we are not their slaves and they are not our masters.

A taking by any government, corporatized or not, in every sense, demands a lawful process. That's why it was written into our Constitution and Bill of Rights. So why do we cave in to this taking of our most private of property? Because we're in jail and think we have to obey 'masters'? The pure and simple answer is that we do NOT have to obey them, except as far as we are brainwashed to think we do.

I have done what I write about next, and found it to be useful in rubbing the jail guards' noses in their own rules, regulations, policies and procedures. We have already refused to comply - in my case testing the limits of their enforcement of 'compulsion to contract' upon everybody.

Anonymous said...: [continuing]

When/if they demand that you stand in front of a camera and smile in various poses, or ink your fingertips for submission to their state (and eventually federal) database - REFUSE TO COMPLY. Tell them that's a 'taking' and subject to a lawful process and can only be ordered by a judge - for LAWFUL purposes. Make them do it the lawful way, if they're going to do it. Make them go before a judge and explain why there's some particular state interest in having your private property on file for them to use against you in any further proceedings or investigations. Make them jump through their own hoops. Make them SHOW YOU THE LAW that placed this burden upon you. Where did you sign a contract that said you would freely give up your right to privacy and property upon demand? If they whip out a policy manual, point out that it's for THEM, not you. Their corporate rules, policies and procedures apply to THEIR behavior, not you. You don't get a paycheck from their corporation, therefor you're not under any obligation to follow their 'rules'.

They'll bluff and say you're not leaving jail until they get them. Call them on their bluff. After the judge orders you released on bail, or after dismissal of charges, they'll bluff some more - but ask them at that point if THEY are going to defy a judge's ORDER for your release?

If a judge DOES summarily order, as a condition of release, that you give up your PRIVATE PROPERTY, you have another case against the city/county/state - an unlawful taking, and damages for unlawful imprisonment without specific charges. What would they charge you with - 'refusal to cooperate with an unlawful demand'? You will probably already have attorneys working on your case(s), so include that in the list of charges to file against the tyrant state/corporation: taking without due process or just compensation. Put a pretty high price of a $million or so on your images and make that your damages, since it's not an ongoing thing you regularly contract for, like with a movie star or model. Generate substantial 'damages' to go along with the unlawful imprisonment that can be backed up by US Supreme Court cases. By what (presumed) right do they TAKE your private property?

Be a fly in their soup. Have a little fun with these minions of the state tyrants.

You might also remember that appearing at arraignment in their 'jail clothes' is an assumption of guilt and should demand your own clothing to appear before a court. Refuse to be dragged into court until you've been given your street clothes. If you want case law to back all this up, there's plenty available online, starting on George Gordon's website but everybody will need to learn all this eventually for the future, so this may as well be a beginning point in your own education. 90% of the time I've found that police, prosecutors and judges don't know the law they're purporting to apply to us. Well, time to learn it and apply it right back - at least while their 'war' against us is still with words and not with bullets.

CowboyDan said...: Back when I knew a lot of people who were getting arrested on a somewhat regular basis, we had some simple, common sense rules.

One of them was to be sure there's nothing interesting in your pockets.

If you have herb, leave it with someone who isn't going into the jail. I know it's "legal" in WA, but why give them the opportunity. Same with any other substances they might find interesting.

Use cash if at all possible.

Send in the smallest, youngest person you can to put up the money or whatever.

Say "Sir" a lot. Don't piss off the guys running the jail. Your guys are already in jail; you don't want to join them there unless you have to.; February 6, 2015 at 3:24 PM
Anonymous said...: Disobedience to a lawful direction by a law enforcement officer is in itself another charge. Fact.
I've heard the same comments made by inmates, they always lose their appeal and judges are not on the side of the detainee. Fact.
Shit house lawyers get your bond increased. Fact.
Got bail?
How about it, Anonymous. How about a little help with the bail there?

CYA. ALWAYS.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
