WeAreChange.org presents a brand-new video documentary produced this past week!!! It's so new, that I haven't even watched it yet! Check it out!

Supporter Casey Lee Cobb from OpenYourMindsEye.com puts out a new short film that asks these violent, murderous agents used as cannon-fodder by the new world order some serious questions. Will the cowards ever stop enforcing a non-existent law by committing acts of aggression and violence?

Ed is interviewed by a local news station shortly after federal agents and state and local troopers show up on his property. You can hear their helicopter in the background. Ed stresses that it doesn't matter what they do -- it only matters how he responds, as a lawful man.

Ed and Elaine support, Danny Riley from New Jersey, is attacked by federal and state agents in gilly suits. He is first fired upon and hears two shots whiz past his head. Then he is shocked with a taser and tackled onto the ground, kidnapped, drug through the woods, taken to various locations and interrogated, strip-searched, and finally release (indeed, walking a dog with a cup of coffee is not a crime). He's threatened into talking with many many lies.

U.S. Marshall Steve Monier tells more truth than lies this time, and admits multiple times that they grabbed Danny because he discovered them, possibly foiling their plot to attack and kill Ed & Elaine! Know your enemies: this guy is just a spokesperson for the higher-ups. He takes his orders and will probably take the fall if things go back. It is corrupt, cowardice pigs like this guy that give the new world order and other evil movements their strength. These guys are the "useful idiots" and the "cannon-fodder" for tyrants. When will they learn?

MakeTheStand.com :: View topic - THE TRUTH AND THE LAW
I'm current doing some research into the law to see what in the world is going on. i'm reading a book ironically titled "the oxford companion to american law" which is good when it comes to research but i've already found that they leave some stuff out. i just read all about the income tax and strangely enough in the pages covering this issue there was not one mention of any case law establishing the federal income tax. up until 1895 the supreme court declared the federal income tax a "indirect tax" and therefore unconstitutional. The supreme court declared in Pollock v. farmers' loan and trust co. that the income tax was a direct tax. In 1909 congress proposed the sixteenth admendment. it was ratified in 1913. This strikes me as odd considering that up until after the civil war the income was ruled as unconsitutional. i'm not a conspiracy theorist by any means but considering that bohemian grove started during if not after the civil war, it proves that bigwigs have been pulling the strings for over 150 years.
I also checked into the militia and the right to bear arms. this book reads kinda like a liberal handbook on these issues. they try to say constantly that the militia is truly the "select militia" i.e the national guard but they also shoot themselves in the foot. to quote directly from the book: "the unorganized militia is part of the founding fathers' effort to provide a popular check on government tyranny." it's so funny to watch the government prove our case for us. the word "militia" in 18th century discourse refers to the general population of law abiding citizens, not the national guard, regular army or any other faction of the military. it's our job and duty to keep the government in check. It also states that it is against the second admendment for the federal government to regulate gun ownership, sales or access to firearms because of the fear of federal suppression of our rights.

it also strikes me as odd that there's no law establishing the income tax. three cases have proved the illegality of the income tax so you'd think there'd be a huge uproar by the people at this point.

Sixteenth Amendment:
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

which brings up my point yet again. since there is no law on the books stating that we must pay a income tax and 3 people have proven in court that there is no law, then what's the government's case exactly? THEY HAVE NONE WHATSOEVER!

The justice system and the events that have occurred since 9/11 have proven that the laws can be twisted, warped and broken to suit the government's agenda. there is no law stating that we must pay a income tax. all we have to do is boycot the government and protect our rights the way the forefathers stated in the constitution: BY BEARING ARMS AND PROTECTING OURSELVES.

tstdanny why are you asking me to show you the law when none exists? why aren't you asking members of the irs to show you the law?

Johnny82, there are a lot of trolls on this forum right now. Don't let them get to you. I did recently with one who was applauding Doom who ended up being banned. They are here to cause us to fragment. I know, one almost made me do just that. It feels like they have sent in their A team. They are not as stupidly transparent as the last batch but they are trolls just the same.
It stands to reason that they will hit and hit hard since they have arrested and jailed four of our members with made up charges! How can you arrest and jail supporters of Ed and Elaine when there is no law on the books that mandate that we pay the federal income tax? Google in IRS Vs Kuglin and find how she won against the IRS. Are the people in New Hampshire so stupid that they will allow the IRS to harrass and jail their people while in the state of Tennesee they are finding their people NOT GUILTY? If that is so, I recommend that the people in New Hampshire move to Tennessee!
Do not let them shut us up, we can not allow them do that! That last remark is as much for me as it is to all of us who are determined to see that this criminal abuse is lifted from the American people. Now is the time to work even harder to right this wrong.
Thank you Johnny82 for all that you do.

here's the thing. AA presented an excellent argument that given the charges that our four friends have had imposed upon them, the inmates at their present facilities might look upon them in high regard and the message can stread within the system and outside the system. considering this entire NAU business it makes you wonder what exactly what'll happen to the prison system? i don't think correctional officers will work for a currency that is worth a little more than a peso.

seems to me that tst was only repeating the cry of the rest of the movement. why do you two see it differently? why do you two think he is a troll, etc? has tst said something else that i missed that would justify j82 and mm's posts about tst?

UE: it wasn't what tstdanny stated that aroused my suspicious or made me question him/her, it was how the question was stated.
tstdanny said: "You are right so SHOW ME THE LAW"
i know that i'm right but why would he ask us to present a law that doesn't exist. why wouldn't tstdanny say "you are right so IRS SHOW ME THE LAW" i realize i might've reacted wrongly or read too much into and if this is the case then i'm sorry but considering the amount of troll activity as of late we need to stay on our toes.

My remarks were not really directed at tst, but at the past activity that has gone on. I too though felt that he was being redundent by asking Show me the law. Maybe he/she can clarify. As I said I just felt it was redundent.
I feel that there are a lot of trolls on the fourm monitoring right now. It only stands to reason seeing that four members have been arrested. I just don't want to see amy of us, who have a true comittment to desolving the IRS, and then the Federal Reserve with all of it's criminal behavior, be taken in and incriminated in anyway by the trolls. Look at the trumped up charges they have come up with. One has to wonder .... are they making them up as they go along? If we continue to let it slide how much control will they want and take?
The Federal Reserve has certainly shown this past month or so how they are not there to propp up the dollar as they claim but to bail out their friends on Wall Street. The dollar continues to pummel this week and people are loosing so much of their hard earned money by the consequent inflation. Now the dollar has become unpopular and investors are running to the euro. It is all by design folks.............this is all planned and has been in the works for decades.
Take for instance the handout that America gives Israel every year, this is the first time that Israel has had the nerve to ask for payment in euros. Rice of course is complying! Just a tad put out over that announcement!

Now upon reading this again this morning, after Ed and Elaine's arrest............I feel he is a government agent troll, and he is of the mindset, [like that US Marshal James who told Danny Riley that he knew there was no law etc...], that because he has the guns, and the power behind him ........he is the law. I take his statement to be a taunt!
Go shove it!
He is back here monitoring the site and has not made one post since his one and only........good to watch these guys, espose them for what they are and do not be afraid of them they are bullies of the first order!

Keep in mind that we can never be sure of who is and is not an agent. For all you guys know, I could be a troll with a higher IQ than the rest.
Also, another possible tactic of smart agents is to set up two accounts with two different personalities. One is the obvious troll, one is the supposed ally who may have even caught that first troll!
(im gonna shutup before I give out ideas)
anyway
Please be very careful of what you say and to whom you say it.
And don't be intimidated by the obvious scare tactics.

Dealing with trolls and agents is fairly simple. If they overtly call for people to engage in illegal activities, then try to get rid of them ASAP.
If they just try to pick fights, ignore them.
If they are clever, use them. An agent must contribute something, or else they are unable to infiltrate. So like Bob Dylan said, "You're a cow. Give me some milk or else go home."
Quote:
Ballad of a Thin Man
Bob Dylan
You walk into the room
With your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked
And you say "who is that man?"
You try so hard
But you don't understand
Just what you'll say
When you get home
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You raise up your head
And you ask "is this where it is?"
And somebody points to you and says
"It's his"
And you say "what's mine?"
And somebody else says "where what is?"
And you say "oh my God
Am I here all alone?"
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You hand in your ticket
And you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you
When he hears you speak
And says "how does it feel
To be such a freak?"
And you say "impossible"
As he hands you a bone
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You have many contacts
Among the lumberjacks
To get you facts
When someone attacks your imagination
But nobody has any respect
Anyway they already expect you
To just give a check
To tax-deductible charity organisations
You've been with the professors
And they've all liked your books
With great lawyers you have
Discussed lepers and crooks
You've been through all of
F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
You're very well read
It's well known
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you
And then he kneels
He crosses himself
And then he clicks his high heels
And without further notice
He asks you how it feels
And he says "here is your throat back
Thanks for the loan"
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Now you see this one-eyed midget
Shouting the word "NOW"
And you say "for what reason?"
And he says "how?"
And you say "what does this mean?"
And he screams back "you're a cow
Give me some milk
Or else go home"
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Well you walk into the room
Like a camel and then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket
And your nose on the ground
There ought to be a law
Against you comin' around
You should be made
To wear earphones
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
