The Personal ‘Stealth’ Existence: Remain Deadly
Posted: August 26, 2015 by gamegetterII in UncategorizedRutherford Asks U.S. Supreme Court to Prohibit Government Use of Asset Forfeiture to Deny Citizens Access to a Defense Attorney of Their Choosing
Posted: August 26, 2015 by gamegetterII in UncategorizedWASHINGTON, D.C. — In weighing in on a case that, if not reversed, could undermine the Sixth Amendment’s guarantee of a right to counsel in criminal cases, The Rutherford Institute is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to prohibit the government from using aggressive asset forfeiture tactics to strip American citizens of the funds needed to hire a defense attorney of their choosing.
In an amicus curiae brief filed in Luis v. United States, Rutherford Institute attorneys argue that a government freeze on the untainted assets of someone charged with (but not yet convicted of) a crime, when those assets are not connected to illegal activity, amounts to a forfeiture of property of a kind that the Founding Fathers rejected and should therefore be prohibited as unconstitutional. As one appellate lawyer noted, “It is unseemly and unjust for the government to impoverish those it prosecutes in order to disable their defense at trial.”
“If the government can arbitrarily freeze, seize or lay claim to your property (money, land or possessions) under government asset forfeiture schemes, you have no true rights,” said constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute and author of Battlefield America: The War on the American People. “Protecting their property from governmental abuse was just as vital to the Founding Fathers as preserving their lives and liberties, hence the Fifth Amendment. What makes this particular case so critical is that if the government is allowed to freeze a person’s untainted—i.e., legitimate—assets, the government can essentially render them penniless and unable to hire an attorney of their choosing in order to preserve their life and liberty, which renders the Sixth Amendment utterly useless.”
The case arose after the government, suspecting Medicare fraud, froze $45 million in assets belonging to Sila Luis, who operated healthcare businesses that provided services for homebound patients in Florida. In October 2012, the federal government indicted Luis alleging that she was involved in schemes to pay illegal kickbacks for patient referrals and to bill Medicare for unnecessary services. Although the government alleged the businesses received $45 million in Medicare reimbursements and sought to recover that full amount in the criminal prosecution, evidence showed that the businesses earned at least $15 million in untainted funds from sources other than Medicare. At the same the indictment was filed, the government brought a civil action seeking to freeze all of Luis’s personal assets, employing a federal statute that gives courts the authority to restrain the assets of those accused of certain kinds of fraud before trial and before any finding of guilt. The freeze applied not only to Luis’s assets traceable to the alleged offenses but also to other “untainted” personal assets.
Luis’s lawyers objected to the proposed freeze asserting that any such order would interfere with her ability to retain counsel of her choice, violating the Sixth Amendment. They also argued that Luis’s right to due process would be violated if the freeze were based solely on the hearsay of confidential informants. However, the district court granted the government’s request to freeze Luis’s untainted assets, ruling that they were as much “contraband” as assets derived from the alleged criminal activity. On appeal, this ruling was summarily affirmed. Luis sought review in the U.S. Supreme Court, which agreed to hear the case in June. In weighing in on the case, Rutherford Institute attorneys have asked the Court to reverse the lower court ruling and free the assets for use by Luis in defending the charges against her.
Stop pissing on the other guy, and water your own lawn instead.
Posted: August 26, 2015 by gamegetterII in UncategorizedWell said-I agree 100%-the goal is supposed to be to help people get training,to learn things they need to know,but don’t know,so all of us are better off during any long term SHTF situation.
There are a whole lot of very important skills other than being a “professional soldier”that are important to all of our communities/tribes.
Those who provide training,and do a good job of it are the ones who get repeat customers-their work speaks for itself.
Their students recommends the classes to others.
That’s what matters.
“Police say the suspect then grabbed a 22-year-old customer inside from behind and tried to rob him.”
There is simply no excuse for a 22 year old kid to be that clueless about his surroundings,or to be so pathetically out of shape that he can not fight back in any meaningful way.
Maybe if he ate a sandwich every once in a while instead of pissing away $$$ on lottery tickets-he would have weighed a few more pounds,and had the strength to fight back enough to have made a difference.
The kid tried to fight back-I’ll give him that-but he had no idea what to do,he didn’t know how to fight back,and could have been shot and killed with his own weapon.
I found this request in my comments today:
Would you mind doing a breakdown of everything that went wrong here? I don’t have the chops/experience to Monday morning quarterback him but I think this falls in line with what you’ve been stressing lately.
Thanks for doing what you do.”
So, I’m going to preface this with the statement that this is really, kind of outside my area of expertise. I would really like to see someone like Paul Sharp or Craig Douglas break this down, but since I was asked, and it’s something we all need to be thinking about, I’m going to go ahead and give my thoughts on my observations.
1) The victim (and make no mistake, he was a VICTIM) had zero fucking situational awareness. I’m guessing he was buying lottery tickets and scratching them off (seriously. That in itself tells me he’s a sucker)…

The FBI Believes Militia Extremists Are Beginning to Target Muslim Institutions | Public Intelligence
Posted: August 25, 2015 by gamegetterII in Uncategorized
An intelligence bulletin issued by the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division in late May warns that so-called “militia extremists” are likely to begin targeting Muslim institutions, including mosques and other religious facilities. The bulletin titled “Militia Extremists Expand Target Sets To Include Muslims” was obtained by Public Intelligence after being released to law enforcement in late May, just days before a planned “freedom of speech” rally outside a Phoenix mosque which attracted numerous individuals dressed in camouflage, tactical gear and carrying loaded assault weapons.
Based primarily on a “large body of source reporting generated mainly since 2013,” the bulletin states that militia extremists are “expanding their target sets to include Muslims and Islamic religious institutions in the United States.” The recent targeting of Muslims augments prior FBI analysis, contained in a January 2015 report, which found that “established militia extremists target government personnel and law enforcement officers, perceived threats from abroad, and…

Bill Clinton pardoned former CIA Director for keeping classified material on home computers
Posted: August 25, 2015 by gamegetterII in Uncategorized
We’ve all heard it said, “If it were me or you using a private server to send and received classified material, we’d already be in jail.” But we’re talking about Hillary Clinton, the favored person for the Democrat nomination to run for president. We all know she has lied, stalled, stonewalled, destroyed evidence, sold favors for millions of dollars, etc. etc. Well, she should take her rightful place in history, and it’s not as she thinks what’s owed to her (the presidency). She needs to swap her trade-mark ‘pant-suit’ in for an orange jumpsuit with “inmate” stenciled across the back.
Former CIA Director John Deutch did pretty much the same things as Hillary, except not on such a massive scale. Naturally this occurred under Bill’s administration and Janet Reno refused to prosecute Deutch, and Bill Clinton pardoned him on his last day in office.

Dealing With Anti-Hunting, Doe-Eyed, Tree-Humpers…
Pretty much everything that used to be a given thirty years ago is now seen as cuckoo and/or evil in the United States of WTF.
For instance:
If you believe that a proper marriage is between a man and a woman then according to the “Nuevo Thought Police of The New Millennium” you’re a demonic bigot who wants to kill Neil Patrick Harris and hates flight attendants.
Also, if you believe that an able bodied adult should invest in an alarm clock, get off their butt and earn their own cash, and that the government owes us jack squat, then according to the Liberal fascists “you’re a capitalistic heartless/soulless pig who loathes the down trodden.“
I found this at Clash Daily …
I know this is probably offensive to liberals. It’s just rude, insensitive and “racist.” (though “Muslims” are about as much of a “race” as Catholics). Anyway, Muslims have brought this attitude upon themselves. Okay, not all are terrorists. But you never hear them condemning the atrocities committed around the globe on a daily basis by Muslims. Oh, CAIR might put out a statement like, “We’re appalled by the beheading of 27 guys on a beach. But please understand the motivation behind the beheadings. ISIS members have no job opportunities and came from poor families. So this is happening because they feel sad and want to be heard.”
