Call the Anti-Police: Ending the State’s "Security" Monopoly

|”How would things be different,” muses Dale Brown of the Detroit-based Threat Management Center, “if police officers were given financial rewards and commendations for resolving dangerous situations peacefully, rather than for using force in situations where it’s neither justified nor effective?”

Brown’s approach to public safety is “precisely the opposite of what police are trained and expected to do,” says the 44-year-old entrepreneur.  The TMC eschews the “prosecutorial philosophy of applied violence” and the officer safety uber alles mindset that characterize government law enforcement agencies. This is because his very successful private security company has an entirely different mission – the protection of persons and property, rather than enforcing the will of the political class.  Those contrasting approaches are displayed to great advantage in proto-dystopian Detroit.

“We’ve been hired by three of the most upscale neighborhoods in Detroit to provide 24/7 security services,” Brown proudly informed me during a telephone interview. “People who are well-off are very willing to pay for Lamborghini-quality security services, which means that our profit margin allows us to provide free services to people who are poor, threatened, and desperate for the kind of help the police won’t provide.”

“Unlike the police, we don’t respond after a crime has been committed to conduct an investigation and – some of the time, at least – arrest a suspect,” Brown elaborates. “Our approach is based on deterrence and prevention. Where prevention fails, our personnel are trained in a variety of skills – both psychological and physical – to dominate aggressors without killing them.”

Police typically define their role in terms of what they are permitted to do to people, rather than what they are required to do for them. Brown’s organization does exactly the reverse, even when dealing with suspected criminals.

To illustrate, Brown refers to an incident from a security patrol in which he encountered a black teenager “who was walking in a neighborhood at about 3:00 a.m. dressed in a black hooded sweatshirt, doing what is sometimes called `the drift’ – it was pretty clear he was up to something.”

The Politics of Fear in America: A Nation at War with Itself

Turn on the TV or flip open the newspaper on any given day, and you will find yourself accosted by reports of government corruption, corporate malfeasance, militarized police and marauding SWAT teams. Yet even more dangerous than these violations of our basic rights is the language they are couched in—the language of fear. And, as John Whitehead says in this week’s vodcast, the only thing which will improve our present condition is the taming of our fear.

How many of the following problems would Mitt Romney actually fix even if he did get elected?

Looking Beyond Election Day: The Issues That Threaten to Derail the Nation

Feds force guilty pleas on drugs with threats of firearm prosecutions.

This is one for the books.

Yet another example of out of control feds. ONE GOOD SHERIFF IN EACH COUNTY could have prevented all of this.
It’s time to kick the feds out of Montana when they violate our laws. It’s time for the Montana legislature to slap heavy prison time and fines on federal agents who overstep their authority and violate their oath to uphold, protect, defend and obey the US Constitution.

These people are hypocrits of the first order and need to be charged with their crimes. Each sheriff should learn how to obey his/her oath and then stop these black suited, jack booted thugs with white letters on their backs from violating your rights under the color of law.

The sheriffs should form a possee to stand against federal tyranny.

FEDERAL LAWS DO NOT TRUMP STATE LAWS. Read the Mack/Printz decision here: http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/95-1478.ZO.html

For the whole story on the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association http://www.cspoa.org/

Heads up folks. We are only getting one chance to stop these federal criminals operating under the color of law while slamming our freedoms, and persecuting our citizens who were obeying the laws of Montana.

I have never used drugs of any sort, but anybody can see that this “drug war” is just another excuse to bring a police state in Amerika.

Medical Marijuana: Firearm penalties used to force pleasThe March 14 Missoulian reports that four of Montana’s medical marijuana providers swept up in federal busts a year ago have pleaded guilty. It’s time, as Paul Harvey used to say, to tell the “rest of the story.”

It is estimated that over 90 percent of Montana households contain firearms, and that the average number of firearms per home is more than 20. Predictably, many of the medical marijuana providers busted by the feds possessed multiple firearms.

Because of that, those busted providers were also charged with multiple counts of firearm possession “during commission of a drug crime,” with each firearm count carrying a separate, multi-year, mandatory minimum sentence. So, federal prosecutors are stacking the firearm charges to force the accused into guilty pleas for the drug charges

When you see these guilty pleas in the media, remember that such pleas are extorted by federal prosecutors from people facing $100,000 in legal defense costs and a century in federal prison if they don’t roll over and plead guilty to federal “drug crimes.” To further undercut legal defense for these accused people, federal prosecutors have sought orders from federal judges to prohibit defense attorneys from mention to jurors that the accused believed what they were doing was legal because it was affirmatively sanctioned by state law, and that the U.S. Attorney General promised publicly that such federal busts wouldn’t happen.

While the media may make it look as if the accused have admitted to being criminals, the truth is the accused have been forced through the knothole of a process powerfully rigged by zealous federal prosecutors and complicit or federally-tolerant judges. While these federal machinations may be technically legal, they are definitely not any sort of justice, outrageously using otherwise-legal firearms as a club to force Montanans to accept federal criminal penalties.

An Empire Strikes Home_Parts One through Five

THIS ARTICLE SHOULD SCARE HELL OUT OF YOU!

If this article from Elias Alias of Oathkeepers doesn’t scare you at least a little bit, you need to pay better attention to what is happening around you.

All five parts of this lengthy article are now posted at Oath Keepers’ national website. You are invited to share this email and these links. Those of you who have websites and/or blogs are welcome to post – please include my name (Elias Alias) as author and the original links at Oath Keepers. Thank you!

Part One: http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2011/05/16/an-empire-strikes-home-_-part-one/
Part Two: http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2011/06/21/an-empire-strikes-home-_-part-two/
Part Three: http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2011/08/15/an-empire-strikes-home-_-part-three/
Part Four: http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2011/11/09/an-empire-strikes-home_part-four/
Part Five: http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2011/11/09/an-empire-strikes-home_part-five/

“Tensions are high and continue to rise. Fear is rampant and is being fanned by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and all the other usual suspects in the Federal array. Our economy is in its death throes and preparations are being made for the U.S. dollar to be replaced as the world’s reserve currency. Home loss is rampant, job loss is rising, suicide rates among civilians and veterans is skyrocketing, natural disasters are pounding, corruption is everywhere, socialism/Marxism/collectivism are on the march through our social and cultural institutions, our Bill of Rights is being held hostage by a belief system based on ignorance of the virtues of personal freedom in a Republic of law, our schools are pumping humanist/behaviorist existentialist immorality into our children’s heads while Wall Street is conquering their souls with hi-tech toys and myriad related distractions. The nation is in a bad way, and the worse things become, the tighter the Federal government squeezes to wring out the last vestiges of personal freedom and liberty for the American people. And their wealth. Many Americans are feeling such angst now, and the public mentality shifts toward a heightened awareness of the presence of government in everything people do.”
Brief synopses for easy reference:

Part One: http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2011/05/16/an-empire-strikes-home-_-part-one/

SWAT killing of Marine Jose Guerena at his home – false publicity campaign initially put forth by Pima County Sheriff Department in wake of the killing – point-blank lies about Jose Guerena shooting at the SWAT team members as they burst open his door – use of media to distort truth about the killing; my premise that the SWAT killing of Guerena was the publicly visible tip of the spear of a Federal policy which is now threatening the Constitution for the united States of America.


Part Two: http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2011/06/21/an-empire-strikes-home-_-part-two/

The militarization of our peace officer community; the domestic military deployment; DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and then-Secretary of Defense William Cohen’s infamous speech of 1999, “Welcome To A Grave New World”.


 http://www.cohengroup.net/news/op_ed/op_ed072699.cfm 


The National Institute of Justice report on merging the military with law enforcement (1997). Then a concept which the mainstream media has forgotten to share with the public – “OOTW”. That stands for “Operations Other Than War”, and it is a transition of the U.S. military mission from one of national defense into one of “peace keeping” and “police work”. It also includes psychological operations. We also brought into the fray a now-defunct neo-con slice of madness called the Project for a New American Century (which has now taken down their website). We referred readers to The Report From Iron Mountain. These concepts go toward building an understanding of a philosophy of statist authoritarianism as coming at us now from the Federal government.


Part Three: http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2011/08/15/an-empire-strikes-home-_-part-three/


In Part Three we covered something called “UW” – Unconventional Warfare, which ties in with “OOTW” as seen in Part Two. We discovered “Irregular Warfare” (IW). We learned that psy-ops warriors are expected to use “terrorists” and other criminal types as “surrogates” in psy-ops. (Think: Oklahoma City Bombing and the attacks of 9/11/2001.) We learned that OOTW, UW, and IW all involve psychological operations and can include Black Operations, Covert Operations, Special Operations, Clandestine Operations, and unspeakable crimes committed with Presidential blessings – so long as the President enjoys “plausible deniability” in case they are exposed (as in the case of Bay of Pigs fiasco, one of CIA’s biggest international war-crimes ever, which blew-back in Kennedy’s face and cost the top three men at CIA their careers).


Part Four: http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2011/11/09/an-empire-strikes-home_part-four/


In Part Four we look at the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), and their interface with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the White House (Cass Sunstein). We note that the private sector think tanks which feed DHS and the Pentagon profiles on American citizens and military personnel are united in their attack on Oath Keepers; and we also note that such organizations are now exposed as being a malicious attempt by lock-stepping groups to defame and slander loyal Constitutionalist Americans such as Oath Keepers, who demand that government, to be lawful, must abide by its founding legal charter.


Part Five: http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2011/11/09/an-empire-strikes-home_part-five/


An intimate look at the tortured soul of Daryl Johnson, author of the infamous DHS report of April 07, 2009, which was leaked to the public. Part Five is the conclusion of this series, which I trust establishes and sustains my original premise that what killed Jose Guerena at his home at Tucson, Arizona on May 05, 2011, was a Federal policy acting through a local Sheriff Department SWAT team to execute Federal tyranny on an American Marine war veteran and his family.
I submit that I have established:


a) 1- that such a mental pathology, coupled with disregard for the Constitution, can influence Federal policy in a deluded perception of how the U.S. Federal government is to administer itself upon the people who support it;


b) 2- that mental pathology works through private-sector think tanks to influence Federal policy;


c) 3- that Federal policy presently enjoys centralized Intelligence, Military, and Domestic Enforcement license which stands now as the infrastructure for profoundly altering the nature of governance in America;


d) 4- that patterns of abuse are abundantly apparent throughout Federal policy (ATF’s Fast And Furious gun-running escapades for the Mexican drug cartels being the most recent criminality to be exposed; see: http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2011/03/30/oath-keeping-at-the-atf/ );


e) 5- that those patterns of abuse include psychological operations involving radio, television, and the press under terms of Unconventional Warfare and Operations Other Than War;

f) 6- that with the use of interfaced databases through the DHS we now see before us a chain of command extending from DHS downward through the Pentagon and FEMA and outward like a giant sinister spider-web to regional, State-level, and local enforcement agencies and offices;


g) 7- that the Federal perceptions of DHS, Justice Department, State Department, the Pentagon, the White House and a wide field of Intelligence agencies and interlocked private-sector corporations and contractors and think tanks are now unified toward the preservation of centralized, authoritarian, un-Constitutional government power, even at the expense of dissent among the American people.


Fifty thousand to seventy thousand SWAT rampages a year in America are but symptoms of this. Those of us among the population who oppose this policy, such as Oath Keepers, are branded as “extremists” and “anti-government conspiracy theorists”, and if the SPLC, ADL, DHS, and Pentagon are not corrected in this policy, very soon every person reading this, including you, will also be thusly branded. In the eyes of the power elite, every citizen who is not “anti-Constitution” is now seen as being “anti-government”.

Barbering without a license. Jack booted thugs raid barbers

Some day raids like this are going to have blowback against these black suited, jack booted thugs (criminals) who violate the US Constitution after swearing to uphold and defend it. They sell their soul to get a paycheck and deserve to be in jail for their criminal activity perpetrated under the color of law.
