Chuck Baldwin answers the TV News smear article!

Last week, a journalist from one of the national newspapers in Spain flew to the Flathead Valley to interview me. This is not the first time that a reporter from a foreign country has taken a trip west to interview me. A few months ago, Great Britain sent a journalist. And they all seem to have the same motivation: try to paint Chuck Baldwin as a racist, anti-government extremist. I assume they all must subscribe to the ultra-liberal, hate-filled propaganda newsletters produced by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), because their questions all smack of SPLC rubbish. I even asked the Spaniard if he got his background information from the SPLC and he wouldn’t answer me.

The journalist from Barcelona left disappointed. He didn’t find what he was looking for. The London journalist couldn’t find what he was looking for either and left in a huff. These people are so predictable.

Then, a local daily rag (called a newspaper) in a Montana city a few miles north of where I live, ran a story about my support for a county sheriff candidate with much the same smear tactics. No, of course, the “reporter” didn’t bother to contact me; she just regurgitated the same old radical SPLC propaganda.

It would really be nice if just once-in-awhile a reporter (especially a national reporter) could actually do some real reporting instead of robotically spewing forth the same worn-out liberal drivel.

Over and over, the mainstream media reveal either, 1) lazy journalism, or, 2) deliberate propaganda. Either way, seldom are the American people getting even a semblance of truth from these so-called reporters and journalists. So sad. Journalism used to be an honorable profession. Now-a-days, if you want the facts, you gotta go to the Internet. No wonder the newspapers are going broke.


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

My Comments and opinion:   (1st Amendment right invoked here)

No surprise to me.  The people that run TV News got their liberal education in Missoula at the university from what I remember.

They are also radical left wingers as far as I can see. They fall right in to the leftist ideas and they have always done the bidding of the ‘good ole boys club’ in Lincoln County.  They are as close to communists as I have seen locally. They can’t win an argument on the issues so they demonize the messenger.
Here was my counter article published the same day the paper came out.
 I am surprised that you have not known about this MHRN radical hate mongering organization before.
They take most of their material from the SPLC  hate organization. That’s Southern Poverty Law Center.
These people are radicals and communists who are deliberately fomenting hate and discontent and are whipping the police agencies into a frenzy over resistance to leftist control and loss of freedom.
SPLC has a long history of some very shady activity. They are so radical that the FBI kicked them off their national website.
They influence the fusion centers that law enforcement get much of their information from.
If I had to pick one word to describe SPLC and MHRN  it would be   SUBVERSIVE  of the American rule of law and the Constitution. Just my opinion of course.  But it’s not my opinion alone.

An open letter to all law enforcement personnel!

Originally published on Wednesday, September 2, 2009

This article is one of the first on this blog dealing with the oath of office and how police and other law enforcement are being fed a pack of lies about true patriots. That is far more important now than it was in 2009, so we present this article again. The link to the bozeman article no longer works. Evidently there was too much truth being said by Stewart and Elias and they took it down.
Here is a similar interview the Bozeman paper did on Elias and Stewart.

Radical Leftist Polarization of Law Enforcement Personnel !

Subject: Bozeman paper interview w Steward Rhodes & Elias Alias
Here’s a teaser from the full article found in the link below:
“We think there is cause for concern,” said Travis McAdam, executive director of the Montana Human Rights Network.
And the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks “extremist” activity throughout the country, in a report this month points to the Oath Keepers as a “particularly worrisome example of the Patriot Revival.” The SPLC further reports that it’s likely only a matter of time before some segment of the Patriot Revival becomes violent.
The Department of Homeland Security considers groups that reject federal authority in favor of local authority “rightwing extremists,” according to an April 7 “threat analysis” released by the agency.
And that doesn’t sit well with Alias.
Radical Leftist Polarization of Law Enforcement Personnel !
From the desk of Paul Stramer — Wednesday September 2nd, 2009
The radical leftist Montana Human Rights Network, along with the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Lee Newspapers chain, and some federal agencies, are involved in a borderline criminal conspiracy attempting to demonize, scandalize, slander and paint all law abiding and freedom loving Americans as criminal, or potential terrorists. They speak the same leftist, communist language as every communist agitator in history. They abuse their power of communication and free speech to promote lawless hate against law abiding, and freedom loving people nationwide and worldwide.
The reality is that they themselves are the real terrorists. They endorse the radical leftist agenda and threats of taking guns away from law abiding citizens, making everyone dependent upon a socialist or communist police state for their very lives, taking away private ownership of property, destroying freedom of speech and of the press with their so called “hate crimes” legislation, and destroying the most successful document of government ever devised by man and inspired by God, the Constitution for the United States of America, the SUPREME LAW OF THESE UNITED STATES.
These organizations, in effect, don’t believe in the Rule of Law. They believe in the rule of men making the rules as they go, and their leader seems to be the person who claims to be the President, while hiding all evidence of his eligibility, and organizing “communities” of lawless street agitators like ACORN and SEIU and other highly paid subversives intent on destroying the rule of law and replacing it with total government control of every facet of your lives.
These organizations are feeding the Federal fusion centers, and all federal, local and state agencies with FALSE INFORMATION designed to create paranoia in the ranks of “Law Enforcement” and polarize them against anyone who talks against the radical left agenda. This is the classic communist strategy of radicalization used to stir up hate and discontent among the public, and goad private freedom loving residents into some kind of physical conflagration.
Communists have used this method in every country they have subjugated throughout their history. They will and have gone so far as to plant agent provocateurs inside various freedom groups who will goad members into some illegal activity, so the radicals have the opportunity to further radicalize and demonize those organizations. Ask Randy Weaver about that? Was Timothy McVeigh one of these agents, and was he a patsy just like he said he was? Why were they in such a hurry to kill him if not to shut him up because he knew too much about who really engineered that attack?
Sorry boys, we are smarter than that.
You are wasting your breath, because the people don’t believe your tired old lies and buzzwords any more. They don’t believe that the word Militia is a bad word even though every time you use it you attempt to associate the word with some lawless warlord in Somalia or some other country. We know that the lawful militia is a concept embodied in the early history of our nation and is greatly responsible for our freedom early on in our history. We know that the militia itself is embodied and defined in the laws of our country and that the concept is perfectly lawful. If you don’t believe it, don’t take my word for it.
Go to the internet and read for yourselves.
We the People don’t believe that your tired old buzzword “Freeman” means “criminal” like you want it to mean, since a true Free Man is a We the People resident and Created being who did “ordain and establish” the Supreme Law, the Constitution for the United States as a law for GOVERNMENT to follow, in order to SECURE the unalienable God given rights bestowed on Man by God in man’s very nature.
We don’t believe your tired old buzzwords “Right Wing Radical” since a true right wing radical would be an anarchist who believes in no law or government at all, which is the real opposite of your Radical Leftist agenda of TOTAL GOVERNMENT made perfect in communism, the rule by the bullet or threat and intimidation thereof. We know that the only difference between your leader’s socialist agenda and communism is that socialism is totalitarianism by the ballot, while communism is totalitarianism by the bullet.
We also know that you preach freedom only to use it as a cloak for malice. All we have to do is go to your websites to see your endorsement of immorality at all levels.
Travis McAdam continues to mouth the same language as communist/leftist agitators whether he knows it or not, and so does Morris Dees of the SPLC, insofar as from their own words they seem to parallel the Marxist agenda that has been used throughout the history of communism. Just go read what they write and endorse, and then read the communist manifesto at the link below and decide for yourself.
It’s really mind-blowing that the local cops and sheriff’s deputies are sucking this propaganda up like candy. They don’t bother to even talk to people who love the Constitution and freedom to get their views. They just seem to believe all this leftist propaganda without question, and they won’t study any history, or law, or any other view. Remember, law enforcement personnel, that those who refuse to learn from history are condemned to repeat it. Are you doing your own thinking or are you letting your boss or some federal agent do your thinking for you?
As a result of this propaganda, law enforcement generally now refuses to believe there are actually people out here that believe in the Rule of Law, and are willing to put their lives on the line to protect the Supreme Law so everyone can continue in Freedom and Liberty.
True radical leftists are liars leading liars and they will all fall in the pit of human suffering just like millions in history who have believed Satan’s lies and followed the big government deception of free bread and circuses. Those socialist and communist systems of government never work and while they are in control, millions of people suffer and die. Is that what they want? Are they deliberately trying to reduce the population without destroying the infrastructure? Is it Total Government they are after and they think they will be in the ruling class in this totalitarian structure?
Beware that this is an old song. It’s been sung throughout history. It’s the song of God’s enemies, and God always comes out on top.
Here is a history lesson for all the local cops, sheriff’s deputies, elected officials, and any other office holder whether appointed or elected that is helping this radical leftist agenda. You have nothing to fear from us freedom-loving people as long as you obey the law and take your oath of office seriously, and with an informed mind.
But when radical leftist (read communist) organizations are done using you to subjugate the American populace, you will be the first people they will eliminate, because they know they can’t trust someone who is willing to sell out their fellow countrymen.
That is the history of communist agitators throughout the history of the leftist communist conquest of countries in the last century.
They eliminate, usually with a bullet in the head, everyone who helped them get to power. They purge their ranks of local officials, and bureaucrats that helped them create their police state. Then they go on to kill everyone they think might have a potential of creating any dissent at all. Don’t take my word for it. Google “communist purges” and do your own homework.
I am sorry you are so ignorant of history, the law and your responsibility. The classic definition of ignorance is “Not knowing what is required by one’s station in life.” You took an oath to uphold, defend and obey the Supreme Law, the Constitution for the United States of America, the only document of it’s kind in history that has secured our God given rights for well over 200 years, and the document that the whole world admires and wants to imitate. Our shores are constantly bombarded by people fleeing other forms of government because they fall far short of ours.
You have broken your solemn oath to uphold the law if you endorse the rule of men that these radical leftists promote. When you trample on the rights of private residents of the county or state you live in, you can be worse than any terrorist.
When you threaten law abiding residents with the loss of their freedom for holding to the Supreme Law, The Constitution, you are worse than any terrorist because you are the very persons who are sworn to uphold our rights and protect us from the lawless and radical leftist agenda especially if they are in a majority. We do not have a Democracy (mob rule) in America. We have a Constitutional Republic designed to protect the minority from the will of a lawless majority.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DioQooFIcgE

We don’t ask for much from you. We only ask you to actually read the documents you swore that oath to uphold, defend and obey, and then to OBEY THE LAW, and refuse to threaten and intimidate private law abiding residents who are only insisting on being heard.
We want you to stop falling for the lies of the radical leftist conspiracy. We want you to study the founding documents you swore to defend from all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. Then we want you to do your real duty, which is to secure the rights given by God, the author of nature itself, the rights those documents embody and protect!
Until you do this you can’t be trusted by We The People to uphold your office. You can’t be worthy of your paycheck.
Ask yourself this question? Who is running your department? Is it the fusion centers or some federal agent? Are you taking their word for what is going on, rather than doing your own homework and talking to local residents about these issues? When was the last time you read the Constitutions of the USA and Montana? Do you understand what they mean? Are you doing your own thinking, or are you letting your boss hold your paycheck over your head, while you just follow along blindly?
Are you swallowing what Travis McAdam, SPLC, and the fusion centers are saying without checking it out. Well you should get the information about Oath-Keepers right from their own website before you do something you will regret.
Don’t take the word of the people who brought you Waco and Ruby Ridge, namely federal agencies. Question boldly, embrace the truth then do your job right and with integrity. Keep your Oath. If you can’t take that heat, then get out of the kitchen, and make room for someone who will keep their oath. Perhaps someone like former Sheriff Richard Mack.
See his answer here to the latest diatribe from SPLC.
If this letter makes you angry, then you must be doing something wrong. If you are uneasy about it just call me and ask lots of questions. I can direct you to much good study written by dozens of authors that prove what I am saying about the law.
Here is a place to start.

Kalispell patriots expose the SPLC as radical leftist propagandists for tyranny.

SPLC and Montana Human Rights Network step in the political doodoo again.

http://www.activistpost.com/2011/11/message-to-splc-from-montana-extremist.html

Radical leftists are scared to death of real Americans getting awake and active against tyranny. Naming the Kalispell freedom movement as anti-government when it should be named anti-tyranny is just one of their demonization tactics that doesn’t work any more.
They can’t argue the real issues of freedom and liberty. All they have left is demonization and character assassination. They attempt to paint everyone in the freedom movement with a broad brush of extremism and racism, when in fact the radical left are the real extremists trying to overthrow our Constitutional Republic and sink our country into violence out of which they hope to have a total police state under their own control.

Their game is one of polarization, hoping to intimidate the average American into silence and non participation in the fight against tyranny. The real terrorists and racists belong to the radical left as is evidenced by the occupy movement, in contrast to the Tea Party groups and demonstrations where there was not one single arrest and where the grounds used for these demonstrations were left cleaner than the demonstrators found them. The Occupiers seem to think the only answer is MORE government, just like the radical left wants.

This is old news in Montana. The radical left “human rights network” has been doing this to true patriots for years, and they are pretty well ignored when they do. Of course they always parrot the SPLC, and are cut from the same cloth. But they are of little consequence compared to the SPLC who seem to have the ear of the federal agencies such as DHS, FBI, ATF and some state and county law enforcement agencies.

Ask yourself why those agencies almost never bother to call the people who are being attacked by these radical leftist organziations.  These radical leftists are actually promoting big government and trying to give big government tyrants an excuse to attack real Americans with SWAT and other force oriented police state groups, while the people being demonized by these radical leftists are only trying to restore the rule of law in America by bringing back the US Constitution as the supreme law of the land.

The radical left has been trying for years to do away with the US Constitution because it is our bullwork structure of law against which tyranny dashes itself to pieces every time.
We simply say that the US Constitution is still in full force and effect!
If you don’t believe that read the Mack/Printz decision by the Supreme Court.
http://www.paulstramer.net/2009/11/states-can-stop-obama.html

If we are right, and the US Constitution IS still in full force and effect, then those who are participating in this demonization are the real extremists, and outlaws. The real extremists and outlaws are those who would squash liberty and freedom under the weight of tyranny. The real extremists and outlaws are those who would violate the US Constitution, (the supreme law for the United States) under the color of some federal code or statute, which are not law if they are repugnant to that Constitution. (Marbury v Madison).
The real terrorists are those, in government and in the radical left who would use force against freedom loving Americans. The real terrorists are those who would deceive law enforcement officials into believing that real American freedom loving patriots are any kind of threat against peace and good order. They are trying to goad police and government agents into violence against the people. They are trying to create fear and distrust between law enforcement and the people.

In short they are scared to death that their own power and money corruption is being exposed to the masses, and they are watching their power, money and usuped authority vanishing before their eyes, and it scares the living daylights out of them, because it’s all they know.

Most of these types of propagandists operate with Fraud, Deception, Threat, Duress, and Coercion. They participate in government that governs by the same means.  They are the real agents of anti-government. They are anti-freedom, anti-liberty, anti-rule of law, anti-morality, anti-peace, anti-individuality, anti-constitution, anti-states rights, anti-self defense, anti-freedom of religion, anti-God, anti-prayer.  Now where do you think they are really getting their “inspiration” from?

In short, the power in this country rests with the people, where it always has, and because the people have been decieved they have not exercised their power for years. The radical left only exercises the power the people allow them to exercise, and the people are waking up to that fact, and taking their power back.

Many sheriffs and veterans are waking up to that fact also, thanks to Richard Mack, and Oathkeepers. That must scare the crap out of the leftist radicals. When the Fraud, Deception, Threat, Duress, and Coercion are exposed, then the rule of law takes their place. When good freedom loving peaceful American patriots are informed of their real power, then tyranny fails, and the radical left knows that.

When people realize through education and history that they have more power just by knowledge than they thought they had, then this country will begin to turn around.

The radical left does not want you to know your real power.
They don’t want you to know that you have several votes to exercise continuously rather than just your ballot box vote.
They don’t want you to know that you have absolute power to nullify bad law with your JURY VOTE.
http://www.paulstramer.net/2009/12/juries-can-stop-runaway-government-you.html

They don’t want you to know that your power of a Grand Jury to investigate corruption in government was taken away with the new Montana constitution in 1973. They don’t even want you to know the history of the Grand Jury, let alone how it was used in the past to enforce the rule of law against tyrannical government.

They especially don’t want you to be fully aware and exercise your right to self defense by promoting the second amendment  and carrying a weapon for self defense. They will brand you a radical because you take a stand against tyranny in government and government terrorism by carrying concealed.

They want you to believe that all federal codes and statutes “trump” state law, and even the Constitution.
They agree when government deceives you into giving up your Constitutionally guaranteed God given rights in favor of codes, regulations, and statutes. For the left, all power should rest in government including making government your god, rather than your having God given rights that government can’t touch.

They don’t want you to study history and know the ideas of the founders about freedom and liberty, and that freedom and liberty gave this country prosperity, not government.

In fact they can’t argue any of these real important and founding ideas. They know that, so they don’t try. They just call you names instead. Freedom to them seems to be for only their leftist friends. It seems they want to be free even from any kind of moral law. See http://www.mhrn.org/ and look how they want to be free from even the natural law. Look for their support of all sorts of things they say should be a right, that are totally aginst God’s laws. They want government to be able to steal your wealth and pass it around to people who refuse to work. They want stolen health care to be a right.
The desire to be free from God’s laws is only slavery to Satan. They don’t want you to be free to follow your conscience, but only their “politically correct” ideas. That is not freedom but slavery to government. They won’t be satisfied until they have absolute control over your mind, your body, your children and your life. They are really against true freedom and liberty on  an individual basis. You are only to be free enough to produce to keep them in power. Ask them how much government money they are sucking up. I bet they won’t answer honestly.

They especially don’t want you and your sheriff to know the power of the county sheriff to stop tyranny.
http://www.paulstramer.net/2011/11/special-report-county-sheriffs-push.html

They especially don’t want you to realize that this freedom movement is national in scope and size with millions of participants at various levels of knowledge, and what really scares the devil out of them is the fact that once people wake up and realize the peril our country faces, THEY NEVER GO BACK TO SLEEP!

So you should use how much they scream at you as a direct yardstick of your effectiveness. If they are not screaming at you by name or organization, then you need to do more to wake up your fellow Americans.
The more they scream at you, the more effective you are, so pour it on with education to the people around you and be delighted when the radical left demonizes you.

“Blessed shall you be when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you and shall reproach you and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. Be glad in that day and rejoice: for behold, your reward is great in heaven, For according to these things did their fathers to the prophets”.

And likewise the Kings of England and all their minions did to the founders of this country. You are in good company.

I would not want to trade places with anyone in the leftist paradigm right now, especially when they have to meet their maker.

When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. — Thomas Jefferson

Helena Independent Record steps in it.

On Sunday the Helena Independent Record had an article by Martin J. Kidston entitled “State seeing new rise in anti-government, hate groups” and today an opinion piece by Travis McAdam of the Montana Human Rights Network entitled “Mack outside the mainstream”.

http://www.helenair.com/news/state-and-regional/article_ccf7b5d2-d06b-11de-bc4e-001cc4c03286.html

http://www.helenair.com/news/opinion/article_4bfb6c3c-d195-11de-bd03-001cc4c03286.html

If you read the comments (discussion) section you will find that they are running vastly in opposition to the articles.  In fact here is a comment by Gary Marbut of the Montana Shooting Sports Association about the first article.

Editor

Helena Independent Record
November 15, 2009 (200 words)

Dear Editor,
MHRN; Ready, Fire, Aim

Travis McAdam of the Montana Human Rights Network (MHRN) is troubled by folks who want our governments to operate within the constraints of the Constitution. Not surprising. That’s MHRN’s thing, being troubled.

MHRN was troubled about:

– U. of M. law professor Rob Natelson. They publicly accused him of “anti-Semitism,” later learning that Natelson is Jewish.

– Me. They accused me of being a racist when an article I wrote was published by J.J. Johnson (friend J.J. is a very Black guy – MHRN was ignorant of this minor detail), coincidentally the same week presidential candidate and Ambassador Alan Keyes was a guest in my home (Keyes is Black, too – Montana had a chuckle over that glaring MHRN stumble).

– A Mission Valley guy, calling him an anti-Indian racist, only to be sued because he’s a full-blood Native American (result – required MHRN apology).

MHRN’s goal is to stifle free speech they dislike by accusing speakers of evil intent or connections. It’s amusing that they are so often so wrong; a perpetual case of ready, fire, aim.

Watching the MHRN is more entertaining than watching the Three Stooges.
Although they’re reliable for comic relief, hardly anyone takes them  seriously.

Here is my comment which I published after the Sunday article:

Was it P.T. Barnum that said “Any publicity is good publicity?

What you quoted from our website at http://www.lincolncountywatch.org/ was essentially quoted correctly except it was wildly out of context. It would have been fair, however if you had included the link to our site.

The attitude of your article however was very prejudiced, and it shows vividly to your readers. All the MHRN has left are the same old tired buzzwords of the last decade, and the people don’t believe them any more.
Your newspaper must be getting desperate for attention for you to keep on publishing that drivel, and like many other newspapers who don’t print the real news but favor the liberal view you must be losing money by the barrel.
Wake up and realize that there is a reason the Glenn Beck show is so wildly popular and setting all kinds of records for attendance. Just trying to help the cause of true journalistic excellence.

Sincerely,
