MASSIVE FREEDOM PROTEST IN BERLIN SATURDAY HAS MAJOR GERMAN POLITICAL PARTIES ANGRY WITH DEMONSTRATORS






The mainstream media called it a protest of the "far right" the "far left" and "anti-vaxxers" but whatever it was it was a massive and perhaps the most massive protest in the world yet against the coronavirus crackdown as tens of thousands of unmuzzled  people took to the streets of the German capital.   Police made some arrests for violating restrictions but found themselves overwhelmed by the mass civil disobedience in the face of DC 19  (Dictatorship of Covid-19)..........




                      DEUTSCHE WELLE ENGLISH TELEVISION NEWS REPORT  8/2/2020










"We did not hire them to be law enforcers.   We hired them to protect our rights"




Ammon Bundy speaking loud and clear Saturday in Nezperce, Idaho in a must see video as he brought in the current coronavirus situation and tied it in with the story of Sean Anderson and the refusal of authorities to make public the bodycam footage from their encounters with Anderson early on the morning of July 18th in Idaho.......





AMMON BUNDY 8/1/2020 NEZPERCE, IDAHO "SHOW THE PEOPLE THE BODY CAM"





                             TUESDAY AUGUST 4TH





Getting back to the rally  for People's Rights activist Sean Anderson being held without bail and without police releasing the body cam videos of what happened early on the morning of July 18th in Idaho.


He was flashed by a Lewis County, Idaho sheriffs's vehicle and flashed his lights back leading to the first traffic stop.    Fearful of the situation escalating Anderson left and traveled into a neighboring county at a normal rate of speed pursued by several police agencies.



At the second stop the police went at Anderson guns blazing and injuring him in the face and eye.



So here we got this rally last Saturday with the town of Nezperce, Idaho becoming a police state all because of a rally where Ammon Bundy made the kind of speech you saw earlier in this post.......




ENTIRE TOWN IS CLOSED DOWN AND EXTRA POLICE OFFICERS BECAUSE AMMON BUNDY COMES TO SPEAK!




Sad to see what America is becoming a nation with fear and militarized police funded by the federal government and by default controlled by them because of the $$$$$$ leading Ammon Bundy to call for federal defunding of local police.




Business as usual statist politics of the Republicans and Democrats isn't changing this so that brings us to the US Senate Primary in Tennessee on Thursday.


Dr. Manny Sethi backed by Rand Paul and now Ted Cruz opposing GOP Establishment candidate Bill Hagerty.




Well moving on some experience, strength and hope tonight as read on Page 164 of "Alcoholics Anonymous".......

                             WEDNESDAY AUGUST 5TH





Heaven help us because we need it to not be dominoes going along with tide of bad things out there from the dictatorship emerging to the declining moral values.      I will not preach since I used to preach about "moral values" while being the greatest of hypocrites.



I thank my Higher Power for love in spite of my wrongdoing I have the option of making the right move right now.



I was a member of the "Religious Right" and like Frank Schaeffer I've gone in a different direction but I still value the input of his father, the late Dr. Francis Schaeffer.    I listened to Dr. Schaeffer in 1982 in person as he toured the USA.     Here is one of his appearances that year.



                                          DR. FRANCIS SCHAEFFER APPEARANCE 1982






Dr. Schaeffer also talks about the "flow of materialism" in this shorter video.......









"What has become important is not whether there is something that causes the experience, but the experience as an experience"



That's Dr, Francis Schaeffer speaking back in the 1970's and how much have I gone for the "feeling" and "experience" in my life while using the "experience" to numb the reality of consequences.   As a drunk seeking sobriety I have learned that my right actions in tune with my Higher Power lead to a "good feeling" and a "good experience".


My experience mirrors those of others.



Also in this video:




"the threat of a lower standard of living, a growing authoritarianism, world hunger and ecological disaster, a devastating war"



Dr. Schaeffer very relevant to those times when he spoke some 45 or so years ago.



But getting back to here and now a government and its rules and regulations from masks-muzzles to quarantine checkpoints as in New York City today and so on watch  this clip from Dr. Schaeffer back in 1982.




"if there is no place for disobeying the government, that government has been put in the place of the Living God.   In such a case the government has been made a false god.



If there's no place for disobeying human government that government has been made God" 


                           (starting at :15 in the video link) 






The "Blue Line Flag" seems like sacrilege in regards to "Old Glory" to me.



Back then Dr. Schaeffer saw elections and court cases as avenues to be active in but he acknowedged another option that he felt was appropriate:


"If unhappily we come to that place, the appropriate level we must also include the disobedience of the state.  If you're not doing that you haven't thought it through, Jesus is not really on the throne"



                                (STARTING AT 1:21 IN THE VIDEO ABOVE)





Fear brought about by what I perceive to be "mass intoxication" is keeping many from seeing the present situation more clearly.

A lot to reflect on from the post this week from Francis Schaeffer to Ammon Bundy causing me to consider who the ultimate authority is.



Is like to put it this way.




GOD BLESS PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP




DONALD TRUMP IS MY PRESIDENT, HE IS NOT MY GOD




I see a void out there of understanding about the Founders and their intent for the United States of America.   


I voted for Donald Trump in 2016 and would vote for him again but I sense that the right sizing of human beings is desperately needed as I guess the lack of a Higher Power seems to lead many towards substitution in their lives of people for the Higher Power.


Its my experience and I guess both the late Dr. Schaeffer and Ammon Bundy would say look to the Higher Power first and foremost.




JOHN LEWIS WAS MAN WHO WAS BEATEN AND IMPRISONED UNJUSTLY, THEN HE BECAME A POLITICIAN



The funeral of John Lewis was a very politicized affair done in an election year with political purposes in mind sadly cutting into some good things that could have been said about him.


Like Ammon Bundy in our times, John Lewis suffered in his time at the hands of corrupt law enforcement and jailers.

THE OREGON ESTABLISHMENT SOLUTION:  PUT OREGON STATE POLICE IN FRONT OF THE FEDERAL COURTHOUSE INSTEAD OF FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT



This week political leaders in Oregon like Governor Kate Brown proclaimed victory saying federal law enforcement was pulling out of Portland.     Then we got word that the Oregon State Police would stand in front of the federal courthouse in Portland instead of the federal law enforcement.



The Oregon State Police, the killers of  patriot LaVoy Finicum, taking over to take away a reason for attacks on the building.



Two years ago around this time an FBI agent on trial for lying about firing shots when the killing of LaVoy came down and the trooper that killed LaVoy testified.     Another trooper that fired a shot aT LaVoy and had confronted him earlier with a laser light rifle also testified.    Here's how I posted it.......




OREGON STANDOFF FBI AGENT TRIAL: "OFFICER 1" DESCRIBES KILLING LAVOY FINICUM-SHOT HIM IN BACK

THIS  WEEK A FEDERAL MAGISTRATE JUDGE DECIDED THAT THE OREGON STATE POLICE CAN BE SUED FOR THE WRONGFUL DEATH OF LAVOY.........



OREGON LIVE



The OSP trooper who killed LaVoy got promoted to Captain from Lieutenant afterwards and this important fact is worth noting.    These OSP troopers were expected to wear their body cams but for this operation that killed LaVoy but they did not violating OSP policy. 



Lets go back to another post I made two years ago during the FBI agent trial when the name of the trooper who killed LaVoy Finicum was unmasked.     I wish the trooper no ill will, but heck we know other names like Derek Chauvin (George Floyd) and Mohammed Noor (Justine Rusczyk) so why not let his come out.

Been a lot of drama lately with Ammon Bundy saying he agrees in principle with BLM on defunding police but the notion Ammon's trying to get across is that a federally funded police force is a federally controlled police force.


It absolutely is and the conservative activists of 50 years ago like Phoebe Courtney with her "Gun Control Is People Control" book and so on spread a message of "Support Your Local Sheriff" like Ammon Bundy does today.



Federal funding for us now in 2020 means a de facto nationalized militarized police force in this county period end of sentence.......



The Oregon State Police did the FBI's dirty work and killed LaVoy Finicum in 2016 and now they cover for the feds at the courthouse in Portland.       They do the  bidding of the feds in the end.




OPRAH PUTTING BREONNA TAYLOR ON THE COVER OF HER MAGAZINE




BBC NEWS



Who's going to break into your home unannounced?     Is it BLM or Antifa or is it the police?



A no-knock unannounced police raid on March 13th in Louisville startled Breonna Taylor's boyfriend and so he exercised his Second Amendment right and the police ended up killing Breonna.



The cops looking for drugs didn't find any.     An investigation continues into this with the police officer involved in killing Breonna Brett Hankison fired but the argument is that they acted in self-defense once Breonna's boyfriend went Second Amendment on them.



Getting back to Oprah's magazine cover its good to remember Breonna Taylor and its good to put one's ego aside and take one's face off the magazine cover but of course this is an election year and Oprah's "racism" mantra is there to work voter resentment in a certain political direction IMHO.........

JUSTICE RALLY FOR SEAN ANDERSON VIDEO 8/1/2020




"we hired them to protect our rights"



more from Ammon Bundy about what the police are supposed to be about and is there is an example out there in regards to the justice system.



In Pennsylvania we have a low level of judge now called:



"District Justice"





but 50 years or more ago we called them:




"Justice of the Peace"




What this "criminal justice system" has become in our country is truly pathetic when one looks at the whole thing but it happened because people became angry and demanded "action" there's no doubt about that.      I guess I've learned over the years to "stuff" anger and not use it to drive my actions.





Going back I used to watch a show in reruns daytime on CBS as a child although the show was a prime time one through the 1960's.    The show has a "sheriff" in it who not known for carrying a gun at all but his "assistant" did as you might recall with some zany results?









Here's a scene from a "Return to Mayberry" special where you get to see the Andy-Barney contrast in "law enforcement" at 1:30 or so into the clip......








I guess you can say in a sense that cops have gone:



"Barney Fife"





in this country but its worse than that because they are:




"Militarized Barney Fife's"

"The hatred of freedom, of a free press, of free debate and even criticism of authority is spreading in our once-free country.     Amusing to compare this with the USSR when I lived there in early 1990's.  Everyone longed for the freedoms we now despise"

"Do they claim the right to take your life?   Yes.   Do they claim the right to take your property?  Yes.  Do they claim the right to take your time?   Yes.    Do they claim the right to force you to wear a mask outside?  Yes.  And there is a succession of these things.




And they might start very simple.  They might start with  'Hey, we think there's a virus out there that's really dangerous so therefore we order you to stay home.   You cannot come out of your home.'



And how, then how do they go to the next step.    People comply.   That's right.    So then they say 'Hey we think this or maybe we have other ulterior motives and so therefore we order you to wear a mask'.



The problem is it does not stop there.   It does not stop there.  Unless the people stop it"
