The US House of Representatives Repudiates, As Terrorists, the People They Supposedly Represent

On April 19, 2007, anniversary of “the shot heard round the world” which started the US revolutionary war, a suspected foreign agent introduced a despotic piece of legislation to the US House of Representatives. The House has now, apparently fearful of the Ron Paul revolution, overwhelmingly voted to pass H.R. 1955: Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 which defines:

HOMEGROWN TERRORISM- The term `homegrown terrorism’ means the use, planned use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual born, raised, or based and operating primarily within the United States or any possession of the United States to intimidate or coerce the United States government, the civilian population of the United States, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.

The Second Amendment to the US Constitution:

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.

It is clear from the language, and even more so the history of the Second Amendment to the US Constitution that “planned use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual born, raised, or based and operating primarily within the United States” is “necessary to the security of a free state”.

Specifically, the “group.. born, raised… within the United States” is “the people” and the founders qualified “state” with “free” specifically to distinguish it from the current state of “the United States government”.

Mr. Bowery,

H.R. 1955 is an amendment to the Homeland Security Act of 2002. In its current version, it is called S.1959, an identical bill awaiting approval of the Senate. The bill is not a new law, but only something describing the administrative pecking order that will be used in the enforcement of a specific section of the Homeland Security Act, which is already law, whether compliant with Constitutional rights or no.

These lawyers we have elected do not need any help, Sir. They can screw us in their sleep.

Concord Hymn

By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.

The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.

On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set to-day a votive stone
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.

Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Spirit invoked by Emerson in the last verse is alive, and will do for our generation what it did for our fathers’ if we summon it.

The political class in the United States is terrified of people who actually have to do productive work for a living, and who are so selfish and decadent that they would rather look after their own than give their lives for corporate profit, Jacobin crusades, and a Greater Israel.
