Transportation Stop” Action Script.

This information is provided by Eddie Craig (a former deputy sheriff, and due process expert)

TO BE PRACTICED AND MEMORIZED!

If necessary, print this out and keep it in your car for easy reference, but it will more effective if you practice it and memorize it like you would for a part in a play. The more you practice the material the more easily it will come to mind when needed and the more effectively you can assert your rights and protect them.

ALWAYS carry one or more audio/video recording devices with you into the public world. Anytime you  go out make sure you have them.

Always make sure that they are always charged or have good batteries as necessary. The moment you suspect that you are going to have an encounter with some public servant/official, then, TURN THEM ON AND START RECORDING!

Having a pen and notepad of some kind readily available for taking notes is also recommended. Write down any names and badge numbers you receive and use them accordingly. It is also recommended that if you have a cell phone in addition to other recording devices, then, you ALSO call someone that can act as an audible witness to what is said during the encounter and possibly also record the conversation from their end as well. No matter what the officer says, DO NOT hang up the phone. If necessary, LIE about who you have on the phone!! Tell the officer that it is your legal counsel on the line and you will not comply with any of his/her demands without proper legal advice from your counsel.

There is no law against being on the phone during such an encounter, nor is there any legal basis for an officer to threaten you or demand that you disconnect your call during the encounter.  The idiotic claim that such a demand is related to “officer safety” is not a plausible basis for such demand.

What you say and do during a “transportation” stop can mean the difference between simply getting a citation (or not) and being released to continue on your way, or, being hauled off (illegally) to jail. These questions and actions are specifically designed to protect both your physical being and your fundamentally protected rights. If you fail to follow these recommended procedures then you should not be surprised when things do not go the way you want them to. Ignore these procedures at your own peril.

YOU must control the information exchange and your own emotional state. Do not become flustered, frustrated, afraid, or angry.

Maintain your composure and speak in a calm and collected voice and manner at all times. Treat the officer with respect. You want the video evidence to show that if anyone lost self-control during the encounter it was the officer(s) and not you. It is also important that you ask anyone else that may be with you to remain silent and to say and do nothing except as described herein. If they are unfamiliar with these concepts and procedures then it would be a good idea for you to either educate them on these concepts and procedures or simply don’t have them with you. Someone else can get you into just as many problems as you can yourself if they say or do things other than as described herein.

While I am aware that there is the ability to say less just as effectively, I believe that we should be working toward ending these abuses and behavior by our public servants by making a record that would allow us to take action against those of them that refuse to honor and obey our rights, their oath of office, and the limits of their power and authority. This script is intended to assist you in making a viable record that can be used in a lawsuit against these public servants in state and federal court. If you can get THEM talking about the violations they are perpetrating and their knowing and willful intent to commit those violations, then, a jury is much more likely to find in your favor when the officer(s) stand condemned from their own mouths and recordings.

Dos and Don’ts:

Do remember that an officer is REQUIRED to read you your rights before questioning or searching you if they have placed you in a custodial arrest. In Texas you ARE ALWAYS in a custodial arrest when stopped for an alleged “traffic offense” (see Secs. 543.001-.009, Texas Transp. Code). The reading of your rights is a mandatory requirement that works in your favor unless/until you behave stupidly by talking voluntarily (sees Art. 38.22, Texas Code of Crim. Proc.). Be aware, however, they almost NEVER do this, meaning that anything incriminating that you may say or that they may find can be suppressed as an involuntary or coerced statement or illegal warrantless search and seizure. You should also be aware that the officer(s) is/are trained to lie about you being in a custodial arrest and will most likely say instead that you are in an “investigative detention.” If you are in Texas (and most other “states”), then understand that this is a TOTAL LIE! You almost always ARE in a full-blown custodial arrest (see Legal Equation illustration below).

Don’t EVER answer an officer’s questions. You have the right to remain “silent,” so USE IT!

However, being “silent” DOES NOT mean to suddenly become a DEAF MUTE! It simply means that you are NOT to provide ANY information or documents in response to the officer’s demands or questions.

Invoke your fundamentally protected right to remain “silent” and to assistance of counsel, and then simply refuse to waive them, which you will do if you comply with the officer’s demands.

The foremost thing to remember in these situations is to NOT engage the officer(s) in idle conversation, dialog, or chitchat. It is important that the ONLY things you say to the officer(s) are specifically directed at the reservation and protection of your fundamentally protected rights, and nothing else. This is known as my self-imposed rule of “invoke, demand, protect.” Once you have invoked these rights NEVER waive or abandon them by ignoring these recommended procedures.

Questions like “Where are you coming from?”, “Where are you going?”, “Who are you meeting?” have NOTHING to do with a “transportation stop.” They are used simply to get additional information that may allow the officer to continue his witch hunt and escalate the severity of the charge(s) he might make against you. Also, NEVER answer questions like “Do you know why I pulled you over?” or “Are you aware that you?”

STOP HELPING HIM SCREW YOU OVER! DON’T ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS! Remember the cardinal rule about talking freely, DON”T TALK, BE QUIET and when you have done that, SHUT UP SOME MORE!

Whatever you say CAN and WILL be used against you in a court of law, so SHUT UP unless you are doing or saying something specified in this script!

Do remember to roll up ALL of your windows and to lock your doors whenever you get pulled over, and don’t ever open them or get out. That being said, MY personal habit, on warm and sunny days, has always been to carefully but quickly exit the car (keeping my hands in plain view) BEFORE the officer can prevent me from doing so, while simultaneously locking my doors, throwing the keys into the front seat, and closing the door. Doing this removes the possibility of you having access to any form of weapon that may be inside the car and could be used to injure the officer(s). In this way the officer no longer has the legal ability or excuse to conduct a warrantless search of your car, even if they tow it. Remember to keep a spare door key in your wallet, pocket, or purse if you do this. However, if it is freezing cold and/or pouring down rain, remain in your car and let the officer stand outside for as long as he likes in order to conduct his unlawful and illegal witch hunt while you take your time in following this script.

Don’t EVER roll down more than one (1) window at a time if you remain in your car during the stop, no matter what the officer(s) tell you to do. This eliminates the possibility of an officer fabricating an opportunity to escalate the stop by saying that the resulting cross-breeze allowed him/her to smell something. If you must open a different window then is certain that you have closed all other windows before doing so.

Don’t EVER roll down your one open window more than two and a-half (2.5) inches, no matter what the officer(s) tell you to do, and for the same reasons as stated above. Just say “I can hear you fine officer and I am most comfortable with the window at its current level, thank you.”

Don’t EVER provide an officer with any documents or other information that they demand. The legal ramifications to your fundamentally protected rights are devastating.

Don’t EVER give your consent to an officer to search your car for any reason. You are just asking to have incriminating evidence planted or discovered that could be used to criminally charge you, and it won’t matter if you knew it was there or not, YOU CONSENTED TO THE WARRANLTESS SEARCH!!

DON’T BE AN IDIOT! Don’t let them threaten or coerce you into waiving this right because it also attaches to the waiver of other important fundamental rights that are essential to your legal wellbeing.

Even if they threaten to have a canine unit report to the scene you must not waive this right. Tell the officer “I do not consent to being detained by you for any additional time or other purposes. Am I free to go or are you going to continue to illegally falsely imprison me beyond the time needed to conclude this stop?”

JUST SAY NO TO WARRANTLESS SEARCHES!

Officers will almost always insist that you are NOT under custodial arrest, but rather are simply being “detained” or are part of an “investigative detention.” This is a blatant lie most of the time. No officer has the authority to simply walk up and demand that you answer questions, produce ID, or provide them with your private information, verbally or otherwise. Be aware, however, that when you won’t submit and give them your information, their favorite tactic is to threaten to charge you with “Failure to Identify.” However, in Texas law (Sec. 38.02, Penal Code) you can be charged with “Failure to Identify”

ONLY if you have ALREADY been lawfully arrested for some other offense, or, you are being lawfully detained for questioning in a criminal investigation, and then ONLY under the following conditions and circumstances; in either case you are required to give ONLY your name, address, and DOB, nothing more; in the case of already being lawfully arrested for some other offense, you cannot refuse to provide these three things; in the case of being lawfully detained, you cannot provide false responses for these three things, but you CAN refuse to provide them at all. You can provide this information verbally (Texas). There is no law in Texas that requires that it be presented on some form of physical ID or document, nor could there be (anywhere USA) because there is not and cannot be a valid law that requires and compels a private individual to obtain and carry a state or federally issued form of ID.

 

WARNING! It is of the utmost importance that you understand the true nature and purpose of a “transportation” stop. The goal of every enforcement officer nationwide is to create a situation that culminates in one of two scenarios:

 

1)    A DUI bust

-Or-

2)    A drug bust.

Dale Carson (a former Miami police officer, former FBI agent, and current lawyer) validates this claim in his book “Arrest-Proof Yourself: an Ex-Cop Reveals How Easy It Is for Anyone to Get Arrested.”

This is ALWAYS the goal. It is NEVER about “public safety.”

It is always about maximizing the potential charges against an individual and the revenue that a conviction on those charges generates. STOP HELPING “THEM” SET YOU UP FOR A FALL!

Also, DO NOT attempt to “educate” the officer(s) about what they can and cannot do or the law associated with “transportation” or the Code of Criminal Procedure. Register your verbal objection to their actions for the record by following the procedures below. Napoleon had it right when he said “Never interrupt your enemy while he is busy making mistakes.” Learn from this wisdom or you WILL make your own “fatal mistakes.”

Once you know the officer(s) name(s) and badge number(s) use them both together as often as practicable as shown in these procedures. Make him/them aware that they are being directly associated with any unlawful and illegal acts or violations of your fundamentally protected rights in which they might otherwise engage during this encounter. While it is not fatal to the situation if you fail to do so, it is relatively important that you try to do things in the order and verbiage presented below.

REMINDER: It is important that the only things you say to the officer(s) are specifically directed at the reservation and protection of your fundamentally protected rights and nothing else. Once you have invoked your rights NEVER waive or abandon them by ignoring the recommended procedures listed above and below.

Simply repeat the verbiage in items 1 & 2 as necessary for each new officer you speak with.

NOTE: Sub-items 2(a)-(c) are optional, but are also potentially useful during the discovery process if the claim is made later that the officer’s equipment was “malfunctioning” during the encounter. Bear in mind that these questions and statements by you are VERY important to the record you are trying to build, try to remember this and use them accordingly.

1) For the record, may I get your name and badge number please?

2) Officer _____________ Badge/ID # ________, is there a recording being made of this encounter?

a. Is that recording comprised of both audio and video?

b. Are you relatively certain that your recording equipment is functioning properly for the purposes of making this recording?

c. Is your body microphone and camera, if any, turned on and functioning properly to the best of your knowledge?

3) Officer _____________ Badge/ID # ________, what is the emergency and how can I help?

4) Officer _____________ Badge/ID # ________, what facts or information are you alleging gave you probable cause to stop and accost me?

5) Officer _____________ Badge/ID # ________, do you have a properly signed and issued warrant authorizing you to search me or my property?

a. (IF YES) Officer _____________ Badge/ID # ________, do you currently have that alleged warrant in your possession, if so I would like to see it please?

6) Officer _____________ Badge/ID # ________, do you have a properly signed and issued warrant of arrest that accurately describes or names me as the person to be arrested?

a. (IF YES) Officer _____________ Badge/ID # ________, do you currently have that alleged warrant in your possession, if so I would like to see it please?

7) For the record, I am not “operating” in a “for hire” capacity by engaging in any form of “transportation” or other commercial use of the highways. Officer _____________ Badge/ID # ________, please acknowledge that you have been so informed.

8) Officer _____________ Badge/ID # ________, am I under custodial arrest?

9) If I am not under custodial arrest then am I free to go?

10) Officer _____________ Badge/ID # ________, what is the articulable probable cause that leads you to believe that I have committed or am about to commit a crime that authorizes you to stop and detain or arrest me?

11) For the record Officer _____________ Badge/ID # ________, in order to protect my rights and not waive any by error or accident, I wish to clarify my legal understanding of the situation:

a. You said that I am not free to go, so I must conclude that I am in a custodial arrest and not simply an investigative detention.

b. Therefore, I am invoking all of my fundamentally protected rights, including my right to remain silent and my right to assistance of counsel.

c. From this point forward I do not consent to providing you with any information or documents that could or will be used against me in a court of law or to possibly incriminate me, so please do not ask me to produce anything and give it to you.

d. From this point forward please do not ask me to answer any questions or to perform any form of test relating to any matter whatsoever without my attorney present.

e. Officer _____________ Badge/ID # ________, do you intend to harm, injure, or punish me by any method of assault, arrest and/or incarceration because I have invoked these fundamentally protected rights?

Understand this, when you refuse to produce the demanded documents or to answer any questions, the

officer is going to begin to get upset and continuously state that “… the law REQUIRES that you produce a

driver’s license and other information on demand of a law enforcement officer.” They are also prone to

falsely accusing you of obstructing or interfering with a public duty/officer or just outright threatening to

commit acts of violence against you and/or your property. DON’T FALL FOR THIS, IT IS A SCARE

TACTIC! Invoking and refusing to waive your fundamental rights is not and cannot be converted into a crime.

And if they DO arrest and charge you falsely for interfering/obstructing then you get to sue the crap out of

them. Just remember, when the officer(s) continue to demand that you produce a license, registration, proof

of financial responsibility, or any other information or document(s), despite their threats, repeat the following

ad nauseum:

12) For the record Officer _____________ Badge/ID # ________, no law is valid if it requires me in any way to waive any fundamentally protected right in order to exercise any other right or alleged privilege. And no law can convert the free exercise of any right into a crime. I have repeatedly informed you that I choose not to waive any of my fundamentally protected rights.

13) So, I ask you again Officer _____________ Badge/ID # ________, do you intend to harm, injure, steal my property, or otherwise punish me for invoking my fundamentally protected rights?

 

WARNING: Be prepared for the officer to do or threaten precisely that, and they usually start by threatening you with all manner of unpleasantries, including falsified criminal charges. You only need to use sub-item “a” once on the first officer that threatens you. When s/he/they begin(s) to do so, state the following:

 

a. Officer _____________ Badge/ID # ________, due to your attitude, demeanor, and your continuous threats to falsify charges and commit acts of violence against me and my property while displaying a deadly weapon, I feel physically threatened and in fear for my life. I demand that you cease and desist and request the immediate presence of a supervisor. I do not consent to any of your actions, the use of force against me or my property, or to being forced to exit my car for any purpose, especially so that you may attempt to steal my property and/or assault, injure or kill me.

14) Officer _____________ Badge/ID # ________, you are fully aware that I have already invoked my fundamentally protected right to remain silent and my right to assistance of counsel. Do you intend to continue in your unlawful efforts to violate my rights?

a. It is my belief that the information you are demanding may possibly be used against me in a court of law or in an attempt to incriminate me.

b. And if that is so, then, upon the advice of legal counsel I must respectfully decline to provide you with any information or evidence that possibly can or would be used against me for those purposes.

15) Officer _____________ Badge/ID # ________, I am asking you again, do you intend to continue to deny me in my rights and to falsely imprison me or am I free to go?

WARNING: Be certain to keep your face as far away from the window opening as possible while sitting normally. Never exhale or speak directly into the opening or toward the officer(s) face(s). Doing so will almost certainly result in the following scenario. Read the Do’s and Don’ts to better understand why.

If the officer makes any statement making a direct accusation against you or directed toward escalating the stop to the status of a DUI or drug bust situation, and they almost certainly will, you MUST be prepared to rebut it INSTANTLY. If any officer makes ANY statement resembling either of the following, BEWARE and immediately respond accordingly!!

OFFICER: “Sir/Ma’am, I smell alcohol/marijuana and I am going to have to ask you to step out of the vehicle.”; or

“Sir/Ma’am, are you aware that you ( allegedly did something ) and I am going to have to ask you to step out of the vehicle.” (Be sure that s/he IS lying in this case.)

16) YOU: Officer _____________ Badge/ID # ________, your statement is patently false and an outright lie. Are you now trying to fabricate probable cause by making false statements into the record and false allegations against me?

a. Even if they threaten to have a canine unit report to the scene or to break out your windows you must not waive your fundamentally protected rights out of fear. Tell the officer I do not consent to being detained for any additional time or other purposes. Am I free to go or are you going to continue to illegally terrorize, threaten and falsely imprison me beyond the time needed to conclude this alleged “transportation stop?

b. Repeat steps 12 – 16a as required for each new or continued demand or threat imposed by the officer(s).

Kissenger freedomHenry Kissenger to receive award Defending Freedom & Democracy

It sounds like satire, and it would be funny if it weren’t true.

The Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum in New York City is planning to give Henry Kissinger an award on May 23rd for “defending freedom and democracy.”

No living American has done more to subvert both freedom and democracy than Mr. Kissinger.1

Kissinger worked with President Nixon to betray the U.S. Constitution by illegally bombing Cambodia without even informing Congress, and committed countless crimes against humanity through his role in dropping 3.7 million tons of bombs — twice that dropped in all of World War II — on civilian targets in Indochina.2

As someone who lived in Laos during much of the time, I interviewed more than 1,000 refugees from Kissinger’s and Nixon’s bombing in Laos. Every one reported seeing  countless loved ones and neighbors being burned and buried alive, and that their village was totally destroyed.

A Laotian farmer on the Plain of Jars wrote: “Every day and every night the planes came to drop bombs on us. We lived in holes to protect our lives. I saw my cousin die in the field of death. My heart was most disturbed and my voice called out loudly as I ran to the houses. Thus, I saw life and death for the people on account of the war of many airplanes in the region of the Plain of Jars. Until there were no houses at all. And the cows and buffalo were dead. Until everything was leveled and you could see only the red, red ground.”3

Click here if you find this less than honorable.

All told, Kissinger helped murder, maim, or make homeless an officially estimated six million human beings between 1969 and 1972 — a crime against humanity for which he would have been executed had he been subject to the  Nuremberg Judgement.

Mr. Kissinger’s entire “realpolitik” foreign policy was based on supporting brutal and undemocratic regimes that killed and tortured their own citizens.  This included overthrowing the democratically elected government of Chile and supporting genocide by Indonesia in East Timor.4

Let’s honor the memory of all the countless lives Kissinger destroyed, and support  genuine freedom and democracy.

Please join us in protesting this outrageous award.  

Please forward this email widely to like-minded friends.

BORG demands Takedown of printable gun files.

State Department Claims Export Control Violations.

The battle of dangerous digital shapes has just begun!

Andy Greenberg Forbes Staff
On Thursday, Defense Distributed founder Cody Wilson received a letter from the State Department Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance demanding that he take down the online blueprints for the 3D-printable “Liberator” handgun that his group released Monday, along with nine other 3D-printable firearms components hosted on the group’s website Defcad.org. The government says it wants to review the files for compliance with arms export control laws known as the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, or ITAR. By uploading the weapons files to the Internet and allowing them to be downloaded abroad, the letter implies Wilson’s high-tech gun group may have violated those export controls.

“Until the Department provides Defense Distributed with final [commodity jurisdiction] determinations, Defense Distributed should treat the above technical data as ITAR-controlled,” reads the letter, referring to a list of ten CAD files hosted on Defcad that include the 3D-printable gun, silencers, sights and other pieces. “This means that all data should be removed from public acces immediately. Defense Distributed should review the remainder of the data made public on its website to determine whether any other data may be similarly controlled and proceed according to ITAR requirements.”

Wilson, a law student at the University of Texas in Austin, says that Defense Distributed will in fact take down its files until the State Department has completed its review. “We have to comply,” he says. “All such data should be removed from public access, the letter says. That might be an impossible standard. But we’ll do our part to remove it from our servers.”

As Wilson hints, that doesn’t mean the government has successfully censored the 3D-printable gun. While Defense Distributed says it will take down the gun’s printable file from Defcad.org, its downloads–100,000 in just the first two days the file was online–were actually being served by Mega, the New Zealand-based storage service created by ex-hacker entrepreneur Kim Dotcom, an outspoken U.S. government critic. It’s not clear whether the file will be taken off Mega’s servers, where it may remain available for download. The blueprint for the gun and other Defense Distributed firearm components have also been uploaded several times to the Pirate Bay, the censorship-resistant filesharing site.

Wilson argues that he’s also legally protected. He says Defense Distributed is excluded from the ITAR regulations under an exemption for non-profit public domain releases of technical files designed to create a safe harbor for research and other public interest activities. That exemption, he says, would require Defense Distributed’s files to be stored in a library or sold in a bookstore. Wilson argues that Internet access at a library should qualify under ITAR’s statutes, and says that Defcad’s files have also been made available for sale in an Austin, Texas bookstore that he declined to name in order to protect the bookstore’s owner from scrutiny.

Despite taking down his files, Wilson doesn’t see the government’s attempts to censor the Liberator’s blueprints as a defeat. On the contrary, Defense Distributed’s radical libertarian and anarchist founder says he’s been seeking to highlight exactly this issue, that a 3D-printable gun can’t be stopped from spreading around the global Internet no matter what legal measures governments take. “This is the conversation I want,” Wilson says. “Is this a workable regulatory regime? Can there be defense trade control in the era of the Internet and 3D printing?”

Wilson compares his new legal troubles to the widely-followed case in the mid-1990s of Philip Zimmermann, the inventor of the cryptographic software PGP, who was threatened with indictment under ITAR for putting his military-grade encryption software online. “It’s PGP all over again,” says Wilson.

In Zimmermann’s case, much of the technology community was outraged that PGP’s inventor was being treated as if he were selling bombs or missiles to a foreign regime when he had simply put a powerful piece of privacy software on the Internet. That public support is widely thought to have influenced the State Department decision in 1996 to drop its case against him.

In this case, by contrast, Cody Wilson is literally an arms manufacturer. But whether the government will have any more luck in controlling the spread of his invention remains to be seen.

I’ll provide updates as this story develops.

Correction: In an earlier version of this story I described Wilson as an “arms distributor.” In fact, he’s an arms manufacturer, while Defense Distributed is a software distributing non-profit. Since Defense Distributed–not Wilson himself–is the target of the State Department’s query, that may be an important distinction.

Update: Here’s the full text of the letter.

United States Department of State

Bureau of Political-Military Affairs

Offense of Defense Trade Controls Compliance

May 08, 2013

In reply letter to DTCC Case: 13-0001444

[Cody Wilson's address redacted]

Dear Mr. Wilson,

The Department of State, Bureau of Political Military Affairs, Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance, Enforcement Division (DTCC/END) is responsible for compliance with and civil enforcement of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778) (AECA) and the AECA’s implementing regulations, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 C.F.R. Parts 120-130) (ITAR). The AECA and the ITAR impose certain requirements and restrictions on the transfer of, and access to, controlled defense articles and related technical data designated by the United States Munitions List (USML) (22 C.F.R. Part 121).

The DTCC/END is conducting a review of technical data made publicly available by Defense Distributed through its 3D printing website, DEFCAD.org, the majority of which appear to be related to items in Category I of the USML. Defense Distributed may have released ITAR-controlled technical data without the required prior authorization from the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC), a violation of the ITAR.

Technical data regulated under the ITAR refers to information required for the design, development, production, manufacture, assembly, operation, repair, testing, maintenance or modification of defense articles, including information in the form of blueprints, drawings, photographs, plans, instructions or documentation. For a complete definition of technical data, see 120.10 of the ITAR. Pursuant to 127.1 of the ITAR, it is unlawful to export any defense article or technical data for which a license or written approval is required without first obtaining the required authorization from the DDTC. Please note that disclosing (including oral or visual disclosure) or tranferring technical data to a foreign person, whether in the United States or abroad, is considered an export under 120.17 of the ITAR.

The Department believes Defense Distributed may not have established the proper jurisdiction of the subject technical data. To resolve this matter officially, we request that Defense Distributed submit Commodity Jurisdiction (CJ) determination requests for the following selection of data files available on DEFCAD.org, and any other technical data for which Defense Distributed is unable to determine proper jurisdiction:

  1. Defense Distributed Liberator pistol
  2. .22 electric
  3. 125mm BK-14M high-explosive anti-tank warhead
  4. 5.56/.223 muzzle brake
  5. Springfield XD-40 tactical slide assembly
  6. Sound Moderator – slip on
  7. “The Dirty Diane” 1/2-28 to 3/4-16 STP S3600 oil filter silencer adapter
  8. 12 gauge to .22 CB sub-caliber insert
  9. Voltlock electronic black powder system
  10. VZ-58 sight

DTCC/END requests that Defense Distributed submits its CJ requests within three weeks of the receipt of this letter and notify this office of the final CJ determinations. All CJ requests must be submitted electronically through an online application using the DS-4076 Commodity Jurisdiction Request Form. The form, guidance for submitting CJ requests, and other relevant information such as a copy of the ITAR can be found on DDTC’s website at http://www.pmddtc.state.gov.

Until the Department provides Defense Distributed with the final CJ determinations, Defense Distributed should treat the above technical data as ITAR-controlled. This means that all such data should be removed from public access immediately. Defense Distributed should also review the remainder of the data made public on its website to determine whether any additional data may be similarly controlled and proceed according to ITAR requirements.

Additionally, DTCC/END requests information about the procedures Defense Distributed follows to determine the classification of its technical data, to include aforementioned technical data files. We ask that you provide your procedures for determining proper jurisdiction of technical data within 30 days of the date of this letter to Ms. Bridget Van Buren, Compliance Specialist, Enforcement Division, at the address below.

Rob Newman, the History of Oil

This is a great entertaining and educational video on the last 100 year history of oil by comedian Rob Newman.  So far my research has corroborated with his information 100%. Every single fact.  Your going to enjoy it!

This video is a fantastic video of a stand-up comedy performance/history lesson. I promise you you’ll be amazed and highly entertained. It’s 45 minutes long and you won’t want to miss a second of it.]

A century of history defining exactly why we (US & UK) are currently at war in Iraq. Make no mistake people… It has nothing to do with anything ever spoken aloud on MSM or by any US Politicians. In fact it flies in the face of everything that was spoken aloud in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq.

BORG agents MURDER Iraq Marine War Veteran

BORG agents from Pima County Sheriffs Office MURDER Iraq Marine War veteran Jose Guerena!

Tucson Arizona  Jose Guerena, marine with  2 tours of duty in Iraq gunned down in cold blood by BORG agents in his castle.  The victim had a wife, Vanessa Guerena and  2 sons one 4 the other 6.  Only one of his family members, his 6 year old son, did not suffer the trauma from being at the scene where his father was executed.

As the MURDERING gang known in some circles as SWAT forced its way into his home, Guerena, a former Marine who served two tours of duty in Iraq, armed himself with his AR-15 rifle and told his wife and son to hide in a closet. As the gang members entered, the  perpetrators said that “Guerena confronted them from a hallway”. In the gangland shooting the thugs, shot 26 year old Guerena with more than 70 rounds in about 7 seconds, at least 60 of which struck Guerena. He was pronounced dead a little over an hour later.

The BORG Gang known as “the Pima County Sheriff’s Department” lied (PDF) in their statement saying, “Guerena fired his weapon at the SWAT team”. They have changed their story acknowledge that not only did he not fire, the safety on his gun was still activated when he was murdered. Guerena had no prior criminal record, and the gang of thugs found nothing illegal in his home. The MAFIA gangsters’ police state records show they refused to allow paramedics give medical attention to Guerena for more than hour, leaving the young father to bleed to death, alone, in his own home.

The BORG GANG from the Police State of Pima County has now changed its story several times over the last few weeks. They have made a criminal confession (PDF) scolding the BORG media and critics for questioning the legality of the raid, the department’s account of what happened, and the department’s ability to fairly investigate its own officers. In typical MAFIA style they all refuse to talk or comment about their criminal history and to prevent their prosecution. They have obtained a BORG court order sealing the search warrants and police affidavits that led to the raids, and they’re now refusing any further comment on the case at all. When BORG Propaganda Officer Jason Ogan was contacted with some questions, he replyed via email that the gang won’t be releasing any more information. On Saturday, the head of the gang, Clarence Dupnik told Arizona Daily Star columnist Josh Brodesky that he may never release the search warrants and police affidavits in an effort to cover the asses and protect the pensions of his subordinate criminals.

The department’s excuses for keeping all of this information under wraps makes absolute sense

Surveillance in the Police State

IRS to Spy on Our Shopping Records, Travel, Social Interactions, Health Records and Files from Other Government Spies.

U.S. News and World Report notes today:the IRS tools will be able to track all credit card transactions, for starters. The agency has also instructed agents on using online sources such as social media and e-commerce sites including eBay, as well as the rich data generated by mobile devices. In one controversial disclosure in April, the ACLU showed documents in which the IRS general counsel said the agency could look at emails without warrants, but the IRS has said it will not use this power.

While the agency has declined to give details about what third-party personal data it will use in robo-audits and data mining, it has told government and industry groups that its computers are capable of scanning multiple networks at the same time to collect “matching” comprehensive profiles for every taxpayer in America. Such profiles will likely include shopping records, travel, social interactions and information not available to the public, such as health records and files from other government investigators, according to IRS documents.

Anti-Bitcoin Socialist Panel Discussion Propaganda in New Zealand

This “panel” of apologists for socialism and big Government, “discuss” all the problems with BitCoin.  What is a “social contract” exactly anyway.  Is that the one where you are sold into bondage, without your consent? And  you are required to continue to pay into a system that provides no value to you, just because this is  what you have done all your life, when you realize the whole thing is a fraud?

The first shill talks about how we are “bound” to the commitment to certain “obligations” and rules to how our “currency” actually “works”.  What if I don’t agree with being bound to obligations to supposed currency that works only for the RULING CLASS?  I am not allowed to boycott it.  Well under  the old system you get the manipulated currency that is controlled by banks and government.  If you don’t like it then there is no other choice.  With anything else if I dont want to buy a certain product or service, don’t buy it.  How can one boycott the currency? Well before BitCoin, YOU CAN’T.  This is a gigantic problem when you are a government this is a big Problem, they can not allow people to boycott them!

Shill #1 is bothered and you can see he is shuddering over the fact that it is “Free” of politics, “Free” from the “obligation” to society actually he means the Banks and Government.  He also describes FaceBook as networking system and BitCoin as an ANTI-networking system, probably because there is no central authority to get paid, every single time you make a transaction.

BitCoin is also “Highly Individualistic” It is strikingly interesting how opposed he is to the idea that individuals have rights.  All this factors make it “sinister”!  After touching on the possibility that people can conduct private transactions to buy drugs (non_government approved ones) or money laundering (private transactions) he goes back to how this contributes to the a “Highly Individualistic Society”.  A highly individualistic society is a gateway to Peace, Love, Creativity and and Ethical Society.

The double talk continues as he states “People can operate anonymously!”, “Nothing Traceable!”, “Avoid Paying Taxes!” and  “Avoid Foreign Exchange Rates!”.   He babbles on about being “bound” as a society.  Have you ever been “bound hand to foot and gagged? I have and it’s not a pleasant experience.   Do you like being Arrested?  You are bound feels great doesn’t it?  Then he goes back to sneering at a individualized Society is such a horrible thing. All of his supposed “reasons” are the exact “reasons” I support BitCoin!

This is Larken Rose’s submission for the “Paul Revere” video contest being held by Alex Jones (www.infowars.com). Unlike most of my videos, this was a major production, and is a feature-length documentary. I’ve been working pretty much non-stop on it for a month, to get it finished by the deadline (today)–while neglecting almost everything else.

Way to Go Larken! So now we know that the Government is  a corrupt gang of psychopathic thugs with guns, who like to Lie, Steal, Threaten, Extort, Murder, Defraud all in the name of Fairness, Freedom and Justice.  Then it turns out nothing could be further from the truth.  Do you ever get the feeling your living in a science fiction movie.  I do.  Maybe that is why I go by Morpheus!  LOL!

The BORG is ready for War with YOU!

By Morpheus – with Bob Podolsky

Fargo is North Dakota’s largest city, yet its placid lifestyle seldom sees the chaos common in other urban communities.  This quiet city has averaged fewer than two homicides a year since 2005, and there’s not been a single international terrorism prosecution in the last decade.

But that hasn’t stopped BORG Agents in Fargo and its surrounding county from going on an $8 million buying binge to arm police officers with the sort of gear once reserved only for soldiers fighting foreign wars.

Borg Police armored truck

Every paramilitary BORG squad car in Fargo, is equipped today with an assault rifle and Kevlar helmets, able to withstand incoming fire from battlefield-grade ammunition. BORG officers can now summon a new $256,643 armored truck, complete with a rotating turret. The truck is used at the annual city picnic, where it’s been parked near the children’s bounce house. This way the BORG can CON-vince the populace what a great investment it has made by spending stolen funds, known to the BORG as taxes, granted to the city by the federal government.

“Most people are so fascinated by it [the armored truck], because nothing happens here,” says Carol Archbold, a Fargo resident and criminal justice professor and spokesperson for the BORG at North Dakota State University. “There’s no terrorism here.”  In reality the eyesore activates the Reticular Activating System in the brain that stimulates levels of FEAR in the minds of unawakened people in the quiet town.

Thousands of other local police departments nationwide have been amassing stockpiles of military-style equipment in the name of homeland security, aided by more than $34 billion in Stolen Funds by federal grants since the False Flag terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

The buying spree has continued the transformation of local peace keeping departments into paramilitary-like forces, and using intimidating equipment to strike fear into the minds of civilians is no doubt part of the overall psychology of the BORG agents.  Without this constant low level of fear, concerning a problem that the BORG created in the first place, what need for this parasite would there be?

“The argument for up-armoring is always based on the least likely of terrorist scenarios,” says Mark Randol, a former BORG terrorism expert at the Congressional Research Service, the nonpartisan research arm of Congress. “Anyone can get a gun and shoot up stuff. No amount of SWAT equipment can stop that.”  It needs to be noted that the government’s passage of such freedom destroying legislation such as SB 1867, turns all Americans into potential terrorists. SB 1867 follows in the footsteps of Bill of Rights nullifying “Patriot Act” with provisions to murder and detain INDEFINITELY any malcontented American to places like Guantanamo, Cuba without trial or due process.

BORG Agents and their PR firms known as “The News”, aptly known as the “Lame Stream Media” (LSM), become hostile at the mere suggestion that police agencies have become “militarized”.  They justify the need by citing examples for these upgrades in firepower and other equipment by claiming it is necessary to combat criminals with more lethal capabilities. Or at least criminals not franchised by the BORG.  They never seem to mention that governments kill more people than all other criminals combined!  They point to the 1997 Los Angeles bank robbers who pinned police for hours with assault weapons, the gun-wielding student who perpetrated the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007.  The LSM are generally complacent in mentioning examples where armed members of We the people have thwarted criminal activity.

The new weaponry and battle gear, they insist, helps save lives in the face of such threats. “I don’t see us as militarizing police; I see us as keeping abreast with society,” former Los Angeles Police Chief (and BORG Agent) William Bratton says. “And we are a gun-crazy society.”  In reality, the BORG is scared to death of the populace, as one day they may wake up from their mass hypnosis and realize the BORG is the problem – not the solution.

BORG agent and Police Lt. Ross Renner, who commands the regional SWAT team: “It’s foolish to not be cognizant of the threats out there, whether it’s New York, Los Angeles, or Fargo. Our residents have the right to be protected. We don’t have everyday threats here when it comes to terrorism, but we are asked to be prepared.”  Actually the BORG asked themselves and they agreed with the decision they made already:  to continue to inspire FEAR into the hearts and minds of people everywhere as a mechanism to continue the extortion by stealing money from We The People to “protect us” from the boogeyman they, the BORG, created in the first place.  It is Paramount to note when the populace WAKES UP and gets uppity about being robbed from, their rights being turned into privileges, and being turned into SLAVES, the BORG have all the necessary hardware to quell any SLAVE rebellion.

The skepticism about the Homeland spending spree is less severe for Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and New York, which the BORG, have determined to be their likely targets. The nagging question persists:  is the stolen tax money handed out without any regard for risk assessment or need?  Adding insult to injury is gap in accounting for the decade-long spending spree. The BORG-U.S. Homeland Security Department says it doesn’t closely track what’s been bought with its tax dollars or how the equipment is used. BORG in State and local governments don’t maintain uniform records either.  The BORG have no problem monitoring every single phone call, email and financial transaction We The People make; but when it comes to monitoring how the money (taxes) stolen from We the People is spent on military hardware, that’s not even a little bit necessary.
