The Firearms Freedom Act (FFA) is sweeping the Nation

September 30, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: Uncategorized No Comments →

Originally introduced and passed in Montana, the FFA declares that any firearms made and retained in-state are beyond the authority of Congress under its constitutional power to regulate commerce among the states.

Since its passage in Montana, a clone of the Firearms Freedom Act has been enacted in Tennessee, and has been introduced in the legislatures of Alaska, Texas, South Carolina, Minnesota and Florida. Legislators in many other states have announced that they will introduce FFA clones when their legislatures next convene.

The FFA is primarily a Tenth Amendment challenge to the powers of Congress under the “commerce clause,” with firearms as the object – it is a state’s rights exercise.

Montana Town Occupied By Private Paramilitary Security Force

September 29, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: Uncategorized No Comments →

A private security force whose biggest role is helping the U.S. government to “combat terrorism” is now patrolling the streets of a town in Montana, acting as law enforcement but accountable to nobody and operating completely outside the limitations of the U.S. constitution in a chilling throwback to the brownshirts of Nazi Germany.

The American Police Force organization is a paramilitary unit that “provides surveillance, investigative, and military services across the world,” according to its website, which shows men dressed in military fatigues carrying machine guns.

Porn Surfing Rampant at Federal Agency

September 29, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: Uncategorized No Comments →

Employee misconduct investigations, often involving workers accessing pornography from their government computers, grew sixfold last year inside the taxpayer-funded foundation that doles out billions of dollars of scientific research grants, according to budget documents and other records obtained by The Washington Times.

The problems at the National Science Foundation (NSF) were so pervasive they swamped the agency’s inspector general and forced the internal watchdog to cut back on its primary mission of investigating grant fraud and recovering misspent tax dollars.

Blog Update: At 1500 hours (3pm est.) our call was returned by a Major Patrick Seiber of Fort Campbell Ky. The Major said it is strictly a drill to last only a few hours.Training exercise being coordinated with the citizens and cooperation with the mayor and local authorities. He said will be much like a airshow, and said will be a real brief exercise.I asked him about gun confiscation his response was its a constitutional right to own guns,and he supports this and the entire Constitution, At least this is what was told to me. I just report and inform you on what I was told.

A small Obion County Tennessee town is preparing for a 101st airborne assault. On Tuesday Sept. 29, 2009.

The “assault” is a training exercise for the famed Screaming Eagles. Residents of Troy have been told that they shouldn’t be alarmed when soldiers start dropping in from above. Fort Campbell officials say the training will help the soldiers, many of whom have regularly deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, prepare for real-world, combat scenarios.(Like for the upcoming state of Martial Law)

Starting on Tuesday 09-29-2009, soldiers will start moving into Troy. They will identify four target buildings, search and clear them.

Bracing for two types of influenza this flu season, the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) and its many partners today officially kicked off a campaign to encourage the public to get vaccinated against the seasonal and H1N1 flu.

“The County of San Diego wants you to be ready. This year we are dealing with two types of flu: seasonal flu and H1N1 influenza,” said Supervisor Ron Roberts at a Flu Kick Off event at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Recreation Center in Skyline.

The event was organized by the San Diego Black Nurses Association, AARP, San Diego Metro Chapter 4916, the San Diego Immunization Coalition, and HHSA.

People do not take any Flu Shot its a bio-weapon. And forced vaccinations should be resisted with lethal force.

This email sent to us about Linda Hunnicut (Granny Warriors):

Hi, it seems you were right about granny warrior of Freedom County USA. Linda Hunnicutt has stolen $1000. from me, and won’t return it. I initially thought the Freedom County project was a good idea, but reconsidered and asked for a refund. She returned a partial refund, and kept 1000. and won’t return it, while making ridiculous excuses like she can’t get to the computer that has the Paypal account, or that she is at a rally, or at the Freedom County site, with no computer access. Two months have now gone by, and I’m quite sure I’m out of 1000. I promised Linda that I would reveal the fact that yes, she is not only a liar, but a thief. You were right ! - (Name with held)

Freedom Fighter Radio

Today we are upset about the dishonesty in Government. We are unhappy about how Americans are scammed and lied to by the big corporations. And we all want honesty,integrity and accountability in Government. We can not expect or demand these things of Government if we as Patriots turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to these same actions being done,by supported by and promoted by those in the Patriot community.

The Freedom County Project in Texas has and continues to scam and engage in lies and deception, for their so- called community of False Patriots. Also John Stadtmiller and RBN radio is fully aware of all of this info but continues to allow advertising which engages is scams and fraud. Not to mention the Freedom County Project connection to those who have connections to people who have bombed buildings and have and are endangering the live of Militia and American Resistance members.We have the proof in audio and more.

Linda Hunnicut of the Granny Warriors has claimed that Dr.Rebbeca Carley was going to set up shop there. This never was nor is the case yet Linda claims Dr.Carley was going to and the plans got canceled this is a lie.I spoke with Dr.Carley today 11-01-2009 at 10:30am est.
Now here is the lies from her site Lie #1 has now been removed but lie #2 is the Nw and latest lie:
Lie #1
Dr Rebecca Carley will have her own clinic, and Nannette Carley ( no relation) will have a health spa with a herbal store, all will be working together to provide the best medical care possible for the residents. ( To view this statement scroll down about half way from Freedom County Page) Click here

Lie #2
Rebecca Carley was supposed to be moving to Freedom but due to a misunderstanding of her needs and concerns of why she has lost her license to practice medicine, in everyones best interest her name was removed from the residents listing at her request.

Now again Linda is still lying as I spoke with Dr.Carley at 10:30 am est. on 11-01-2009 about this and shes said that Linda again is not telling the truth.

So if someone is selling a home and convinces the buyer that Chuck Norris or some other well known person would be their neighbor would that be ok if that was not the case? Of course not so why should we excuse or allow this to be done.This a dishonest practice and should be exposed I feel its my duty as a American to do this.

Al Qaeda Releases Video Predicting Obama’s Fall

Al Qaeda released a 106-minute Arabic language video Tuesday titled “The West… and The Dark Tunnel” featuring Al Qaeda’s second in command Ayman al-Zawahiri predicting the downfall of Barack Obama.

During the documentary-style video to mark the ninth anniversary of the attacks of September 11, Al Qaeda leaders comment on events in the past year such as the U.S. presidential elections, the global financial meltdown, and the latest on jihadist movements around the world.

“America has come in a new, hypocritical face. Smiling at us, but stabbing us with the same dagger that Bush used,” said Zawahiri in the message.

“God willing, your end will be at the hands of the Muslim nation, so that the world and history will be free of your crimes and lies,” he said addressing Obama at the end of the two-part video.

U.S. Military Makes Arrest On G20 Demonstrators - Now the Military is our enemy

September 25, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: Uncategorized No Comments →


An arrest that was made occurred on a side street near Baum Ave & S Millvale Ave.

The “Group of 20″ is meeting today and tomorrow in Pittsburgh. People have been demonstrating to counter the G20, a group of the richest, most powerful people from the richest, most powerful countries who make decisions which impact all of us. The past few times they have met they decided to bail out big banks, including the biggest, baddest bank of them all, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which does nothing to help people. In addition, G20-style globalization policies have harmed the environment and threatened democracy everywhere.

Demonstrators went on the march through Pittsburgh without a permit, and police tactics effectively split up the group after about 45 minutes of marching. In the end only about 26 arrests were made.

Demonstrators are expected to march again tomorrow for a permitted and family-friendly rally and march, endorsed by many large organizations, which will start at Craft and Fifth Avenue in Pittsburgh at 11:30 AM. Bring kids and pets! More info: http://www.thomasmertoncenter.org/

Missouri Rep.Bob Dixon Opposes Closing MIAC

September 22, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: Uncategorized No Comments →


State Rep. Bob Dixon, who is chairing an interim committee probing the state’s intelligence gathering operations, opposes closing the controversial Missouri Information Analysis Center.

“I just don’t see that being a logical choice,” Dixon told the News-Leader. “That’s one thing that I’d say is off the table.”

MIAC has been embattled since March when a “strategic report” the agency authored on the “modern militia movement” leaked out into the press, sparking a firestorm of backlash from social conservatives who believed they were being politically profiled by law enforcement.

After gathering public input on MIAC during four public hearings, the House’s Interim Committee on State Intelligence Analysis Oversight is at a crossroads in its mission.

The top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan warns in an urgent, confidential assessment of the war that he needs more forces within the next year and bluntly states that without them, the eight-year conflict “will likely result in failure,” according to a copy of the 66-page document obtained by The Washington Post.
Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal says emphatically: “Failure to gain the initiative and reverse insurgent momentum in the near-term (next 12 months) — while Afghan security capacity matures — risks an outcome where defeating the insurgency is no longer possible.”

Remove ICLEI - Restore the Republic

Many Americans ask how dangerous international policies can suddenly turn up in state and local government, all seemingly uniform to those in communities across the nation and around the globe.

The answer – meet ICLEI, a non-profit, private foundation, dedicated to helping your mayor implement all of his promises. Originally known as the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI), today the group simply calls itself “ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability.”

In 1992, ICLEI was one of the groups instrumental in creating Agenda 21. The group’s mission is to push local communities to regulate the environment – and it’s having tremendous success.

I have included a list of 544 American cities in which ICLEI is being paid with tax dollars from city councils to implement and enforce Sustainable Development. ICLEI is there to assure that the mayors keep their promises and meet their goals. Climate change, of course, is the ICLEI mantra.

Group planning ‘mass march’ to disrupt summit

September 17, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: Uncategorized No Comments →

By: Dennis B. Roddy,
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

A group organized to resist the forthcoming G-20 summit in Pittsburgh announced plans for an unsanctioned mass march from Lawrenceville to the David L. Lawrence Convention Center on the first day of the meeting, setting up the possibility of a clash with police.

The group, calling itself the Pittsburgh G-20 Resistance Project, is declaring a “People’s Uprising, a Sept. 24 mass march to disrupt the G-20 summit,” according to a statement on its Web site.

The group, which is likely to include a coalition of anarchists and other self-described “anti-authoritarians,” has called for a variety of “autonomous actions,” or efforts to attack various locations they view as symbols of global capitalism.

The news release came as lawyers for several other groups asked a federal court to order the City of Pittsburgh to allow protesters to use two city parks for camping and “tent cities” and to grant a permit for a march organized by a coalition of groups that have no announced plans to disrupt the G-20.

Such actions would be the first sizable test of such groups since last September, when plans to disrupt the Republican National Convention were themselves disrupted after anarchist groups were infiltrated by state and federal agents. Eight presumed leaders of the planned disruptions were arrested prior to the beginning of the convention.

A G-20 meeting in London in April included extensive rioting and ended in the death of one man after he was beaten by police.

“While protesters plan to march on the summit, the Pittsburgh police have made clear their intent to fulfill their historical role of protecting the interests of the rich and powerful over those of workers and the oppressed,” the statement by the Resistance Project said.

PATRIOTS: TIME FOR MAJOR PUSH ON USURPER’S CITIZENSHIP ISSUE

September 17, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: Uncategorized No Comments →

By: Devvy Kidd

On September 12, 2009, Americans descended on Washington, DC., in one of the largest displays of citizen disgust towards government in the history of this republic. While this patriotic day of fed up Americans was happening, the usurper (Obama/Soetoro) made sure he was out of town. As usual. Obama aka Soetoro has taken a real fondness to flying around on Air Force One with his inventory of teleprompters and stable of fawning sycophants.

Let’s back up one day to September 11, 2009. The flim flam man was at the Pentagon with his militant, Marxist wife and bag lady of fashion, Michelle. The annual ceremony for those murdered on 9/11. At the same time in a court room in Georgia, Obama’s lackeys were playing more games in an important case. Americans keeping up on current events know there have been dozens of lawsuits challenging the citizenship eligibility of this guy in the White House who has used five different names (Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, aka Barry Obama, aka Barack Dunham, aka Barry Dunham) and concealed every single record of his life except what he wants you to see.

The ignorant, biased media continues to ridicule those of us who believe the Constitution matters. Know what? I could care less.

Police to get access to classified military intelligence

September 16, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: Uncategorized No Comments →

Source: Raw Story

In a move raising eyebrows among civil liberties advocates, the Department of Homeland Security announced Monday that it would give so-called local and state “fusion centers” access to classified military intelligence in Pentagon databases.

Fusion centers are hubs for local law enforcement, the private sector and the intelligence community, and were created in an effort to fight terrorism. There are more than seventy known centers across the United States.

The decision to give fusion centers access to classified intelligence appears to a shift in policy by Homeland Security. In July, Secretary Janet Napolitano “that fusion centers were not intended to have a military presence, and that she was not aware of ones that did,” according to the New York Times.

The centers have been a flash point of criticism from civil liberties groups. The American Civil Liberties Union, in particular, has been a vehement critic.

“As fusion centers gain more and more access to Americans’ private information, the information about them being made available to the American public remains woefully inadequate,” Michael Macleod-Ball, Acting Director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office, said in a statement. “There is a stunning lack of oversight at these fusion centers and, as we’ve seen, these centers are rapidly becoming a breeding ground for overzealous intelligence activities. Opening the door for domestic law enforcement to gain access to classified military intelligence coupled with no guidelines restricting the military’s role in fusion centers is a recipe for disaster.”

Obama seeks to renew and tweak the PATRIOT ACT

September 16, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: Uncategorized No Comments →


WASHINGTON,(UPI) — The Obama administration has told Congress the Patriot Act, which outlines U.S. government surveillance methods, should be renewed but could be tweaked.

In a letter sent by the Justice Department to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, the administration recommended swift action on the legislation but added that the administration was “willing to consider” additional privacy safeguards so long as they don’t “undermine the effectiveness of these important authorities,” The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

Three provisions due to expire Dec. 31 allow investigators to use roving wiretaps to monitor terror suspects, obtain business records of national security targets and track “lone wolves” who may be acting alone on behalf of foreign powers or terrorist groups, the Post said. The government hasn’t used the lone wolf provision but department officials said they want to make sure they can in the future if needed.

Wiretapping and surveillance became politically charged during the George W. Bush administration after The New York Times revealed a years-long secret electronic monitoring program gathered sensitive information without court approval.

Leaders of the House and Senate Judiciary committees have scheduled hearings on reauthorizing the Patriot Act’s expiring provisions for next week.

Sens. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., and Richard Durbin, D-Ill., said they will introduce a bill that would enhance privacy safeguards.

“We must take this opportunity to get it right, once and for all,” the senators said in a joint statement.

City council delays giving police new powers for G-20

September 15, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: Uncategorized No Comments →


Source: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Pittsburgh City Council balked at giving final approval today to legislation that could give police new powers in advance of anticipated G-20 Summit protests, putting the matter off until tomorrow.

Council members said they have not gotten clear responses from Mayor Luke Ravenstahl’s administration to concerns they’ve had with the proposed ordinance allowing police to cite people for having an array of items if they detect intent to defy a crowd dispersal order.

“No piece has garnered more controversy in terms of the G-20 than these two public safety pieces,” said Councilman Bruce Kraus, referring to both the bill on items and a similar proposal on masks, which was defeated. “These bills, in my opinion, have not received resounding support, nor engagement, from the administration.”

Council was set to cast a final vote on the legislation on items, but instead pushed it back until tomorrow, just eight days before the start of the summit at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. The vote to postpone was 7-2, with the two no votes — Council President Doug Shields and William Peduto — arguing for voting the matter down entirely.

“We have laws on the books,” said Councilwoman Tonya Payne. “If people don’t follow the laws, we have law enforcement to deal with that.”

Before today’s action, council removed from the legislation a reference to a defunct assault weapons ban. The inclusion of references to “contraband weapon[s]” had upset gun rights advocates, who viewed it as a stealth attempt to ban high-powered weapons. But left in were bans on carrying pipes, handcuffs, chains, carabiners, padlocks, noxious or toxic substances, gas masks, projectile launchers, human or animal waste or blood, rotten eggs, acid, gasoline, gases or sprays, and alcohol if there is intent to use it to thwart crowd control.

“You can walk Downtown during the G-20 with a gun hidden under your coat, but you will not be allowed to walk around with a piece of PVC pipe,” said Mr. Peduto. “It’s a way to quell speech.”

Legislation to allow police to cite people for wearing masks or hoods to conceal their identities with the intent of committing a crime got just two yes votes — from Ricky Burgess and Jim Motznik — and seven no votes, meaning it is defeated finally. That prompted cheers from audience members who identified themselves as likely protesters during the G-20 Summit next week.

Actor Patrick Swayze died today after a 20-month battle with pancreatic cancer his publicist confirmed to ABC News. He was 57.

“Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months,” his publicist, Annett Wolf, said in a statement released Monday evening.

Patrick Swayze’s wife Lisa told ABC that she and his brother Donny Swayze, were by his side when he died at his ranch on the outskirts of Los Angeles.

Swayze, best known for starring in the blockbuster films “Red Dawn” “Dirty Dancing” and “Ghost,” was diagnosed with cancer in January 2008, but outlived the prognosis of just several months he received.

Georgia Lawmaker Calls For Executing Marijuana Offenders

September 15, 2009 By: Freedom Fighter Category: Uncategorized No Comments →



Benton has given me an idea now on how to get immediate accountability of our Govt. at all levels from local, state and federal. Here is what I propose if the constituents of a elected representative feel that their elected representative has violated their oath of office they be put on trial. The punishment then should be if found guilty EXECUTION. I know this sounds outrageous,but what is more outrageous is how the public continues to put up with these self serving Politicians. They would honor their oaths if they knew they would be executed if they didn’t

State Republican lawmaker Tommy Benton (31st House District) favors “caning” minor marijuana offenders and “executing” those who sell the drug, according to a recent correspondence sent by the representative to a constituent.

In a July 29, 2009 e-mail (which was voluntarily forwarded to the NORML office), Rep. Benton wrote: “Thanks for the email. We will have to agree to disagree on this and whether or not money is wasted (by mandating the state to prosecute minor marijuana offenders). I am opposed to the legalization of marijuana. I think we should go to caning for people caught using and maybe execute dealers. [emphasis NORML’s] That would solve the problem as well. That is what they do in Singapore and they don’t have a drug problem.”

Caning is a form of corporal punishment consisting of up to 24 violent lashes with a long rattan cane that has been soaked in water. The procedure inflicts intense pain and deep, bloody lacerations that can take several months to heal.

Rep. Benton followed up his remarks in a separate e-mail on August 11 (also forwarded to NORML) in which he threatened to turn over the names of citizens who disagreed with his political viewpoints to local law enforcement.

He wrote: “You and your cronies want it (marijuana) legalized so you can get a hit anytime without having to worry about getting arrested. I have forwarded your email to the Lowndes County sheriffs [sic] office so that they can be on the lookout for you. [emphasis NORML’s] Consider this my last correspondence on the the [sic] subject to you or anyone else who shares your similar “conservative views’.”
