American Cowards

COTO Readers -- I am posting this piece for the purpose of getting people Thinking about the abridgment of Freedoms here in the "Land of the Free". Wow! I just typed that, and it strikes me how far the US of A has strayed from it's core principles and Constitution. Amazing times we live in.

Back to point > this is an email I received from noted Silver guru Jason Hommel. There are items in here that are controversial, and he uses Biblical Scripture trying to make a point. Simply read it for content and consideration, and read it according to your own understanding of Life Here on Earth, and in America in particular. I am not going to edit it, because I don't have the time at 11:15pm tonight. BUT -- there are some very Strong points he makes, and "Laws on the Books" that are useful to us all. He's also promoting his silver business. Don't be offended. Buy some silver, somewhere, and you will have made a smart move.

Anyways, I am hoping the COTO readers will particularly reflect on the "points of law" and citizenship, and Rights which we here in America possess yet seldom use {as in pushing the envelope}. Let her fly with your responses! We can surely see that old American homilies like "Home of the Brave", or "Land of the Free" are fast becoming impotent old relics of a past age. Only by considering what our Rights truly are, and embracing them (i.e. using them) will we retain them in the face of fascism.

Check it out...

American Cowards!
(Like me!)
Silver Stock Report
by Jason Hommel, January 26th, 2010

If Americans are going to exercise their right to own real personal wealth like silver and gold, they also need to take personal responsibility to protect it. One way is with a vault, bolted down.

But in America, things are bad now. Police confiscate cash on sight, charging the cash itself with the crime of being "drug money", and the cash can't fight back. If they can do that with cash now, they can take your silver, unless we let them know we won't tolerate such unlawful behavior from our public servants.

The ultimate way to protect your wealth, is with a gun. But gun rights are under constant attack, and I'm shocked to see how far they have destroyed our gun rights in this country. How can there be over 25,000 different kinds of "gun laws" across the land when the second Amendment contains the clear words, "shall not be infringed"?

There are T-Shirts and Bumper stickers that say "What part of "Shall not be infringed" do you not understand? Maybe the campaign is working, as political candidates who campaign against guns tend to lose these days. But anti-gun biased judges still get into and corrupt our nation's court system. Did you know that 90% of judges in America are former prosecuting District Attorneys, whose goals seem to be not just justice, but simply "more prosecutions"?

But let me address just one kind of gun law in today's article, the right to carry a gun into court. I'm only age 40, but I've seen old movies that show the people carrying rifles into court. What a way to keep judges honest! But not anymore! Why is this? How did this happen? And how can we get our rights back?

Maybe it's because the judges are former DA's, and they fear reprisals from the many people they railroaded into jail over the years, but maybe that's just me growing cynical.

Americans today are ignorant cowards. I know, because I am. And many tell me I'm the bravest guy they have ever read. If so, then this nation has a long way to go to climb out of the morass we are in.

We all have a God-given right and duty to preserve our lives, including self defense, with swords, or guns, if necessary.

Jesus said so, several ways.

Luke 22:36 He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.

Matthew 10:34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

Today in America, everyone willingly, ignorantly, and cowardly gives up their God-given duty, and Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms at nearly every courthouse entrance.

How has this happened? We have compromised with evil.

What separates the righteous man from others? We trust in Jesus, and the power of the resurrection!

Righteous people trust that Jesus died for our sins so that we don't have to suffer the death penalty that we all deserve, and so, we must have faith that Jesus will raise us up from the dead. Christians cannot fear death. If we do, it's literally a denial of our faith.

1 Thessalonians 4:
13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Evil people, in contrast, have an irrational and deathly fear of death.

Hebrews 10:26-27 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

Isaiah 48:22 "There is no peace," says the LORD, "for the wicked."

Since evil people are in a constant paranoid fear of judgment and their own death, then they are literally hell bent on trying to prevent their own death, at all costs, including trampling other's rights to carry a gun for protection. That's what the anti-gun movement is all about.

World Net Daily recently featured an article showcasing an author, Michael Savage, who says that liberalism is a mental disorder.

Yes, but it's worse than that. Those who fight against our rights to own guns are outside of the will of God. They are crazy, as they make themselves less safe, and make everyone less safe.

And these are the judges sitting in our courts! No wonder things are bad!

The law itself has actually provided our remedy, literally a recipe for peaceful and lawful revolution.

The US Supreme Court has ruled: No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it.
Sixteenth American Jurisprudence, Second Edition, Section 177. (late 2nd Ed. Section 256)
http://www.sodahead.com/united-states/no-one-is-bound-to-obey-an-unconstitutional-law-and-no-courts-are-bound-to-enforce-it/question-1387785/

In California, there is an unconstitutional law cited at courthouse entrances, saying why it's illegal to carry a weapon into the courthouse. They cite California Penal Code Section 171B, which says:

http://law.onecle.com/california/penal/171b.html

(a) Any person who brings or possesses within any state or
local public building or at any meeting required to be open to the
public pursuant to Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 54950) of Part
1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of, or Article 9 (commencing with Section
11120) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of, the
Government Code, any of the following is guilty of a public offense
punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than one
year, or in the state prison:
(1) Any firearm.

That law is thus not a law, as it clearly violates the Second Amendment, which states, so much more clearly:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!

in·fringe (n-frnj)
v. in·fringed, in·fring·ing, in·fring·es
v.tr.
1. To transgress or exceed the limits of; violate: infringe a contract; infringe a patent.
2. Obsolete To defeat; invalidate.

See that? The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be violated, invalidated, or defeated! YET, IT IS!? Looks like they are infringing!

The 2nd Amendment is applicable to the States via the 14th Amendment.

Most Americans in most States in the USA also have the right to engage in a citizen's arrest, including arresting even police officers or Sheriffs if necessary.

The law in California says that a person can make an arrest if they witness a felony taking place, or simply has "reasonable cause for believing the person arrested to have committed it."

California Penal Code Section 837

http://law.onecle.com/california/penal/837.html

"A private person may arrest another:
1. For a public offense committed or attempted in his presence.
2. When the person arrested has committed a felony, although not in his presence.
3. When a felony has been in fact committed, and he has reasonable cause for believing the person arrested to have committed it."

California Penal Code Section 839

"Any person making an arrest may orally summon as many persons as he deems necessary to aid him therein."

This means that anyone in California can give this presentation in Church, and orally summon the entire congregation to help arrest those people who daily commit these felony violations by stripping Americans of their gun rights at courthouse entrances.

It's a Federal felony to deprive you of your Constitutional rights, even if they say "it's the law" while doing it. The term "Color of law" refers to non law, or unconstitutional law, appearing to be law.

42 U.S.C. § 1983 : US Code - Section 1983: Civil action for deprivation of rights

http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/42/21/I/1983

Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance,
regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the
District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any
citizen of the United States or other person within the
jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges,
or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable
to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other
proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought
against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such
officer's judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted
unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was
unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress
applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be
considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia.

Title 18, U.S.C., Section 241 -242 Conspiracy Against Rights & Under Color of Law

Title 18 of Federal law makes it a crime punishable up to ten years in jail for "using the law" as a bad excuse for violating people's Constitutional rights.

Such felony violations of the Constitution take place every minute of every day as unlawful authorities search and disarm everyone who enters a courthouse.

If Americans were not ignorant cowards, then most Americans would have said, long ago, at the courthouse entrance where they have the metal detectors:

"You are violating my God-given, Second Amendment rights."
"You are an enemy of the Constitution."
"You are acting under the color of law to deprive me of my rights, in violation of Federal Title 18 and 42."
"You are guilty of a felony violation, which carries with it a 5-10 year prison term."
"You are hereby under arrest."
"I'm making a citizen's arrest."

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you. Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?"

"If there are two or more of you acting to deprive people of their rights, then conspiracy will be added to the charges that I'm charging you with."

"Now that I've arrested you and that you are in my custody, I will now turn you over to the nearest magistrate, and present a written indictment or accusation detailing your crimes."

"Are you going to come willingly, or are you going to resist this lawful arrest?"

Why don't we do this? Because for the most part, we lack conviction, and are cowardly and afraid of death. We are afraid of confronting bad actions of bad people who act as if they have lawful authority that they do not have.

Are we afraid that the system will not rule in our favor? What if they dismiss our lawful citizen's arrests? What remedy then? Isn't that exactly why we have gun rights, as a last resort to protect all others?

Are we afraid of the Sheriffs, that they will fight back, and arrest us, or kill us, instead!

We moan, "What can we do?" while ignoring the laws that tell us what we can do. That's American Cowardice & Ignorance.

Again, the Supreme Court has said we have the right to resist unlawful arrests, using guns, if necessary!

“Citizens may resist unlawful arrest to the point of taking an arresting officer's life if necessary.” Plummer v. State, 136 Ind. 306. This premise was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case: John Bad Elk v. U.S., 177 U.S. 529. The Court stated: “Where the officer is killed in the course of the disorder which naturally accompanies an attempted arrest that is resisted, the law looks with very different eyes upon the transaction, when the officer had the right to make the arrest, from what it does if the officer had no right. What may be murder in the first case might be nothing more than manslaughter in the other, or the facts might show that no offense had been committed.”

Did you get that? We have the right to kill officers of the law, if they are acting outside of the law, such as when they violate the second amendment and unconstitutionally disarm people who enter courthouses! This is actually our lawful duty and remedy, our right, to enact a legal revolution towards freedom.

So, why haven't people in the land of the free and the home of the brave acted yet, to end this tyranny of disarming the people at the courthouses?

Because the people are not free, and not brave! But rather, we are a nation of ignorant cowards. (Fortunately, the internet is changing this, and the people are engaged in a new mental awakening, including myself.)

But let's note, the most important place of all to be able to carry a gun is into a courthouse!

Thomas Jefferson said, "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
-- Thomas Jefferson, 1 Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Is a courthouse not a place of government? Do they not rule to enforce their tyranny in court with nobody even being able to defend themselves and fight back?

We allow ourselves to be disarmed, also, why? Is it because we think if we were arrested, and got a case and went to court, we would be railroaded by a jury of people who are not our peers, and don't understand?!

If they even allowed us a jury trial! Some are held in contempt for years with no jury trial now in America. And we do nothing, because we can't even get into the courts to force our servants to behave themselves!

Do we allow it because we do not trust even surveys that show that 60% of the people are in favor of gun rights, when we really only need one person on a jury of twelve to agree with us?

Do we not act because we do not trust the action of "Jury Nullification", which means that the jury has the right to return a "not guilty" verdict even if a person is guilty of violating an illegal law, thereby nullifying unjust laws, and keeping the people free.

Are we cowards, because we see or hear of judges who refuse to allow juries to be informed about jury nullification?

Some will certainly say, "Who are you to make these kinds of judgments, are you a lawyer? Because you are not a judge!" No. But I do know this, we Christians are supposed to be kings and priests, and are commanded to judge:

Leviticus 19:35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.

John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

1 Corinthians 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

Besides, we have an advocate in heaven. That means that Jesus is our lawyer.

Job 16:19 Even now my witness is in heaven; my advocate is on high.

Romans 8:33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.

We should not compromise with evil, nor give evil it's way.

Proverbs 25:26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted well is a righteous man who gives way to the wicked.

We have all given way to the wicked in this country now.

So, will I try to physically arrest any officers who disarm people as they enter a courthouse?

Probably not. I'm a coward, with too much to lose. I have a new family with two new boys, one aged 2 and a half, and the other is 3 months, and business obligations. Does the general in war go in front of his troops? Not usually. But they help direct the battle, often from behind the front lines. The best fighters are often younger, aged 18 to mid twenties. They have more courage. At that age, I was a downhill ski racer, risking death, and for what? Recognition as a "fast dude?" Hardly makes sense to me now that I'm 40.

These days, I prefer to fight smarter. You may be able to "arrest" an officer without touching them. Merely get their names, getting an ID is not necessary; the courts know who they are. Have a complaint filled out in advance, with only the names of the officers needing to be filled in. Then hand them with court papers of your complaint after you file it with the court. Might work, or at least get things rolling. Then again, with court corruption, you could get hit with a frivolous lawsuit charge, or false arrest charge, or worse.

But there's one key point to remember. The real cowards are those who are disarming everyone else. They are so afraid, they can't stand to even be in the presence of a righteous man who is armed. And knowing yourself and knowing your enemy is how battles are won.

And this is just one of the many battles we must win, if we are ever to enjoy our right to lawfully own silver and gold.

There are many opportunities for Americans to stand up, and become heroes for a new generation that will begin to appreciate the freedoms won in the years ahead.

By the way, we have lower and better prices, both to buy and sell gold and silver, and we are continuing to hit record sales volumes here at the JH MINT. We've done $2.1 million in sales, and $600,000 in purchases for January so far, a record month for us. Sales volumes went up on the price dip from $31/oz., for silver, which is good for supporting prices. Thank you for your business! God bless!

=====

I strongly advise you to take possession of real gold and silver, at anywhere near today's prices, while you still can. The fundamentals indicate rising prices for decades to come, and a major price spike can happen at any time.
