The Pentagon Targets the “Far Right”

"A paper published by West Point’s Combatting Terrorism Center suggests that the Pentagon considers the Posse Comitatus Act to be a dead letter. The paper claims that people who 'espouse strong convictions regarding the federal government, believing it to be corrupt and tyrannical,' are potential terrorists akin to al-Qaeda. Similar assumptions were woven into a recent homeland security drill in Portsmouth, Ohio, in which elements of the Ohio National Guard’s 52nd Civil Support Unit play-acted an incident in which two school employees angered by the government’s crackdown on gun rights plotted a terrorist attack."

Women join ranks of Assad’s new paramilitary force in Syria

Women to assume combat roles in U.S. military

"Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta issued an order on Wednesday removing the military’s ban on women in combat roles. Panetta’s order overturns a 1994 rule barring women from combat roles in the military and directs military officials to begin crafting a plan to fully integrate all of the jobs currently available. The military loosened some rules on women in combat last February, saying an additional 14,000 jobs in the Army and Marine Corps were being opened up to women, but not all. Wednesday’s order should do exactly that, the AP noted, opening an additional 230,000 jobs — including special forces roles — that were not previously available to women." Continue reading →

David Gay Speaks Nullification at Albany, NY Gun Rights Rally

"Central NY Campaign For Liberty organizer David Gay talks about opportunities for all people throughout the social strata to nullify bad legislation. Literally, all it takes is a lone, regular individual to single-handedly demolish a bad or illegal piece of legislation. Get yourselves on those juries. At the end of the trial, simply state 'I don't feel that the prosecution has proved that a crime has been committed...not guilty'. No victim, no crime. It's as simple as that. It's time to set the people of America free once again. Take back your rights without asking permission, and defend the rights of your neighbors. Start right now." Continue reading →
