A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. To all of those who like to mock gun owners and ask if they’re going to fight tyranny in a militia, Virginia’s answer is a clear and adamant “yes.” That’s exactly what they’re planning to do. A Quick Recap of What’s Happened So Far ... The National Guard’s Response ... Based on the responses in the Twitter thread, folks found Maj. Gen. Williams’ lackluster response less than comforting. So now, a militia is forming in Virginia Tazewell County is taking this threat to the Second Amendment very seriously. Not only did they pass a Second Amendment Sanctuary resolution, but they’ve also officially begun to form a militia. Law Enforcement Today reports: Just this past Tuesday, on December 10th, the Board of Supervisors from Tazewell County passed two different resolutions in light of controversy circling those who are pro-gun. The first resolution declared the county to be a second amendment sanctuary. This is not at all surprising to see, as 76 out of 95 counties, 9 out of 38 independent cities, and 13 towns have adopted second amendment sanctuary resolutions. The second item on the agenda was the proposition of establishing a militia in the county. When both of the resolutions passed, the crowd cheered loudly in support of the decisions. Also, the resolutions didn’t exactly pass by a small margin; the votes were unanimous, with more than 200 citizens standing by in support. (source) https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/it-begins-virginia-forms-active-militia-to-protect-sheriffs-citizens-from-unconstitutional-laws/ County Administrator Eric Young explained why the county has opted to form a militia. “Our position is that Article I, Section 13, of the Constitution of Virginia reserves the right to ‘order’ militia to the localities. Therefore, counties, not the state, determine what types of arms may be carried in their territory and by whom. So, we are ‘ordering’ the militia by making sure everyone can own a weapon.” Thus, if anyone from the state tries to remove the Sheriff from their elected office because they refuse to enforce unjust laws, those state officials will be faced with a lawful militia

Yeah, no kidding. I think the Russians replaced our entire reality with a simulcra. Thus all the evidence is fake. Even the physical evidence. Even the physical evidence that is linked to missing persons. The Russians must be operating death squads to systematically kill the weak and vulnerable (just like what the Neo-Nazis want) and plant it wherever they want.

Your words Ryahn suggest that the government/FBI/CIA should be able to bring any old shit and the courts and everyone else must spend god knows how much effort and resources to "check it all out, clean it all up" - either the damn case is backed up by sufficient testimonial evidence, or it's not!

We have too many damn laws. Mandatory reporting laws are best written as extension to the old misprision laws. Banning terrorism already exists as treason against state governments, murder, and violence are already crimes. I don't see how all these laws serve to protect anyone.

If I was a FISA judge, I'd hire a special master to more thoroughly examine a whole set of documents behind an application. If the appropriations don't allow for it, I'd urge my colleagues to pool together a portion of our wages to hire someone. That would never happen.

That's a useful, and insightful way to put it - thank you. I would also add this: Fundamental human rights are fundamental (or inalienable or unalienable in USA traditional terms), since they are rights that are with us from they day we're born (so to speak) - that is, due to our natural ability, we have sanction to exercise the right to remain silent, or the right to speak, or the right to move about, without the "permission" or "license" from anyone else. Now, those who wish to exercise power over others, such as the power to prosecute others, even for actions where there are no victims (such as publishing information), may bring down upon us, consequences for exercising our basic human rights (such as the right to remain silent, or the right to speak, etc). Another way to put it is that to some degree our bodies may be "slaves" to those who exercise arbitrary and capricious power over our bodies, but our spirit or Soul remains free, and within the bounds of our ability (to speak, to remain silent, to move), we remain free. It can of course be useful to codify such things that seem obvious to some, in the hope that the many might be more inclined to live their fundamental/basic human rights in the face of the tyranny that TPTB bring upon us. Although the negative to codifying basic human rights, is that in the mind of the feeble, our basic human rights then become defined by that which is written (and not by our inherent ability/capacity and natural or God given rights), and further, the writing also invites gaming by sociopaths. Without the writing (say, a "constitution" and/ or "constitutional amendments"), then juries (plain or grand juries) must exercise much more discrimination. With such writing/codifying of rights, these juries are often "directed" by the judge to "decide ONLY on these points I tell you to decide on" and "you MUST decide in the following way, since The Law says those actions are illegal" and other monstrosities. Again, those humans on a jury ALWAYS have the right to decide ANY WHICH WAY they so choose, but how many know this? And more importantly, how many are willing to act/speak based on principles of righteousness and decency, in the face of a "corrupt" judge ordering them to decide in a certain way only? > There is a Federal law, Misprision of Felony: > https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/4 > "Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by > a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make > known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority > under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not > more than three years, or both."

“Do I know you? I know you clear through. I was born and raised in the South, and I’ve lived in the North; so I know the average all around. The average man’s a coward. In the North he lets anybody walk over him that wants to, and goes home and prays for a humble spirit to bear it. In the South one man all by himself, has stopped a stage full of men in the daytime, and robbed the lot. Your newspapers call you a brave people so much that you think you are braver than any other people—whereas you’re just as brave, and no braver. Why don’t your juries hang murderers? Because they’re afraid the man’s friends will shoot them in the back, in the dark—and it’s just what they would do. “So they always acquit; and then a man goes in the night, with a hundred masked cowards at his back and lynches the rascal. Your mistake is, that you didn’t bring a man with you; that’s one mistake, and the other is that you didn’t come in the dark and fetch your masks. You brought part of a man—Buck Harkness, there—and if you hadn’t had him to start you, you’d a taken it out in blowing. “You didn’t want to come. The average man don’t like trouble and danger. You don’t like trouble and danger. But if only half a man—like Buck Harkness, there—shouts ’Lynch him! lynch him!’ you’re afraid to back down—afraid you’ll be found out to be what you are—cowards—and so you raise a yell, and hang yourselves on to that half-a-man’s coat-tail, and come raging up here, swearing what big things you’re going to do. The pitifulest thing out is a mob; that’s what an army is—a mob; they don’t fight with courage that’s born in them, but with courage that’s borrowed from their mass, and from their officers. But a mob without any man at the head of it is beneath pitifulness. Now the thing for you to do is to droop your tails and go home and crawl in a hole. If any real lynching’s going to be done it will be done in the dark, Southern fashion; and when they come they’ll bring their masks, and fetch a man along. Now leave—and take your half-a-man with you”—tossing his gun up across his left arm and cocking it when he says this.

Re: Chelsea Manning attempts to destroy 'grand jury' system using their actions as wrecking ball!
BTW, a little trivia: Up until about 10 years ago, we had grand juries still in Victoria, Australia. John Walsh (nearly murdered in jail with two billiard balls in a sock, for his $300 million island development which envious individuals wanted for themselves) successfully convened a grand jury against the very corrupt Victorian Crown Solicitor of the day, with abundant evidence of the corruption and attempted murder. The next business day after Walsh's successful grand jury filing in the supreme court, the Vicorian parliament removed the grand jury from the Victorian constitution (since they were not using it for themselves, and "we the people" had evidently begun to use it against them). (From memory, Mr Walsh lost his way and failed to file some of the documents he had to thereafter additionally file, and thus his grand jury case ultimately failed to proceed to trial.) So with a small (handful) dedicated group of people, it is possible to use such a tool as the grand jury to help clean up one or another corruption - but pick your battle carefully if you don't wanna be JFK'ed.

Re: Chelsea Manning attempts to destroy 'grand jury' system using their actions as wrecking ball!
Manning, and he will to stand for our collective rights, is awesome - a credit to higher intentions and all that is good! Easily corruptible institutions ought be abolished. Institutions which actually serve the people, can be used for good. Institutions which have been corrupted, need to be either abolished or uncorrupted. Since those who wield such instutions against us, are corrupt and typically unwilling to relinquish their power which they wield against us, in this situation one solution is again to end the institution. The Grand Jury was meant as an institution of the people, to hold to account individuals within government, but of course it has been turned upside down and is now regularly (exclusively?) used by government, against the people. What we need is competent education of people, so they can wield power (including the grand jury) against corrupt government individuals. “The original grand jury was more than an investigator. They were supposed to protect citizens not just from unjust indictments but from unjust laws,” Manning suggested. “In England, grand jurors who even allowed a prosecutor to come into the grand jury room were seen as having violated their oath.” At least, the Grand Jury in the USA seems to be clearly problematic, and either needs to be fixed, or removed altogether, in the interests of our human rights.

Bryan U.S. Courthouse 401 Courthouse Square Alexandria, VA 22314 May 28, 2019 Dear Judge Trenga, During the contempt hearing on May 16, 2019, this Honorable Court directed me to take the opportunity during my confinement to reflect on my principles with respect to the institution of grand juries in the United States. This letter responds to that directive. During the hearing, you stated that there exists “no dishonor” in providing evidence to a grand jury. You suggested that codification of grand juries in the text of the U.S. Constitution provided ample justification for this institution. In response to my suggestion of “preliminary” or “committal” hearings, you expressed skepticism over whether such publicly held hearings served the same purpose without damaging innocent people accused of crimes. These arguments are raised frequently in discussions about the problems with grand juries. They are certainly not novel to me. Over the last decade, I frequently considered these and many other arguments while forming my opinions about the grand jury process. After spending the last two weeks reflecting on my decision not to testify before this grand jury, I wish to present my position in a more careful and complete manner than an impromptu colloquy can provide. After working with lawyers and researchers, I can also now cite specific sources that support my position. First, I shall compare grand juries in their earliest form, including the ideals and practical problems they sought to address, to grand juries as they currently operate. Second I want to clarify that while my objection to grand juries emphasizes their historical use against activists, I also view grand juries as an institution that now undermines due process even when used as intended. The drafters of the U.S. Constitution, despite their many flaws, possessed a sophisticated understanding of modern political theory. The framers did not set out to short-circuit due process protections. Obviously, to a contemporary reader, we now understand the many flaws and compromises in the Constitution, and see some as inherently cruel and indefensible: legal human slavery; the legalizing of subordinate civil status for women; segregation; and the disenfranchisement of those who did not own land come to mind. Some such practices might have struck contemporaries of the Constitution as “normal” or “necessary,” but with the passage of time, and through the tireless work of millions of people taking bold and dangerous action, they are now obsolete. I am certainly not alone in thinking that the grand jury process, which at one time acted as an independent body of citizens along the lines 1 Case 1:19-dm-00012-AJT Document 14-1 Filed 05/31/19 Page 2 of 6 PageID# 914 of a civilian police review board, slowly transitioned into the unbridled arm of the police and prosecution in ways that run contrary to the grand jury’s originally intended purposes. 1 The 5th Amendment provides many of our most cherished procedural safeguards, concepts foundational to our criminal legal system, including ‘due process,’ a prohibition on double jeopardy, and the right against compelled self-incrimination. The grand jury is also enshrined in the fifth amendment, however, prior to the recent publicity surrounding the Mueller investigation, most Americans only knew two things about the grand jury. First, people hear that a grand jury could indict a ham sandwich. Early grand

How about we go with bright orange lapels to differentiate TwoCoin? YEAH! D: D: OMG Winning "bright orange" Strategy OMG :D :D
Re: Assassination Politics AP
Murder has been around since humanity, same as war and all other concoctions of immoral force initiated, so AP is not really any sort of new news upon the world. Whether it come from Tyrant King, be distributed by "democracy" as "law", or goes down in a back alley, of the intertubes... makes little difference there. And like nuclear weapons, in time someone would have thought it up, and many will attempt to tinker with such gadgets until finding the magic combination that goes boom. Old news. What is interesting is that AP depends on a first proof of concept in order to have any future influence capability. And that each higher level of influence via its own 1st PoC adds efficacy surety to all levels of influence below it. Yet given some experience the world already has with diabolical machines, and AP being such a machine, proving in AP may be unlikely to ever reach murder level, particularly if lower levels are already providing effective influence in widespread fashion upon society... the threat of an already functional system may deter. ie: AP may be no more "scary" than already nukes, kings, governments, law, thugs, etc. And might end up being more moral. Assuming that one of the levels of influence may in fact end up being a murder, consider also that it may be quite unlikely that any sort of anarchist, libertarian, voluntaryist, etc would ever take part in its design and operation due to their superceding belief in the NAP. Alternatively, consider how millions of others in world would surely accept a single instance of proof as necessary to achieve otherwise peaceful influences thereafter. Thus this cohort may be far more likely to be the gadgeteers. In general, consider the various lines of rational or irrational thinking required to actually launch such a device. And that history certainly shows politicians love to develop and launch such colossal weapons against each other. Analysis of AP question seems quite related to nuclear M.A.D. question, game theory, etc.

Wild!" I would not be surprised that Dohrn and Obama attended the same orgy.
