What Happened to Freedom? A Story You Need to Hear.

Early last year Jeff Schwilk, Founder of the San Diego Minutemen was targeted by local police. They used a sealed warrant to arrest him. After months of trauma and much money he managed to get the warrant unsealed. The causes were manufactured. Today another man in the same area has been sitting in jail for over a month, waiting to make $600,000 bail. His crime? Posting a comment on the ACLU that was something like, “they should die and go away.” The site was Save Our State, one that focuses on ending illegal immigration.
We can expect to be targeted on issues that are critical to corporate interests. Those include clean elections and immigration and the North American Union and the Real ID.

We need to continue working to get Ron elected but also be more aware of the specific issues that his candidacy brings into focus. Those involved in those organizations need to be especially careful.

Staying decentralized while using networks for support and communication, reduces our exposure. Our networking must include providing support when the harassment and arrests, inevitably, come. If when activists are targeted and arrested they become the immediate focus of more effective activism then the long planned NeoCon strategy of suppression will fail. Many have already been dealing with harassment and found ways to handle it.

You should think about this for yourself. We need to respond rapidly and effectively. One thing we can all do is ensure harassment or arrest will be noticed immediately. That strategy is an early warning system that lets us know who is being targeted and what must be done to keep us and our families safe.

We call it the Ron Paul Revolution, and it is exactly that, a change in the form we use to govern ourselves, moving us from hierarchy to hubs and networks. Extend your personal network to protect yourself and your fellow Revolutionaries.

Coordination and cooperation are good. Control is not

Revolution. Be the solution. Stay Local.

And Stay Informed.

Hear Mark Lerner speaking with his Executive Director, Steve Meyer, on Off the Grids at Ron Paul Revolution Radio today at 2 – 4pm Central Time, Hosted by Melinda Pillsbury-Foster.

Mark Lerner is a retired successful businessman who became interested in biometrics to stop terrorism in the immediate wake of 9/11. He discovered that making Americans safe was not the goal. That was actually more profits for the high tech corporations who are providing the technology. He then discovered that those technologies do not even work reliably. Today he has changed sides and is heading a major movement against the Real ID.

Steve Meyer came out of the IT industry as a consultant to Fortune 500 companies and was speaking out on the implications of the use of RFID chips when he met Mark as a fellow guest on a radio show.

They teamed up to keep Americans free. Their site is Stop Real ID Coalition.

Once you know that you are dead.

Freedom is just a longer leash, with better places to pee.

Everyone died when the Nazis murdered the Wellstones.  Why do you still think you're alive.  Is  it because they haven't buried you yet?

Hint:  The most powerful weapons on earth are still  ideas and facts - well applied.   Put some signs in your car windows.  Your car is a billboard that can attract and encourage the brave.
