Thank you much for all the posts and your hard work on this effort.

I think we’ve reached the point where perhaps we need to start sending lawsuits against the media. I daresay having to fork out big money to defend themselves against a prison term might have an effect.

Or will we get these cases dismissed also due to ‘lack of standing’?

Its getting to the point where we’re going to have to fight. Literally. The original American Revolution didn’t happen overnight. It took years for resentment and anger to build. I think we’re starting to see the same resentment and anger building today as it did then. And the more that time passes and nothing is done and our voices are ignored that I’m becoming increasingly convinced it may well have to come to that again.

No, they will be dismissed because of the First Amendment.

The idea, expressed in the article, that the media are somehow guilty of a crime if they don't report that Obama is (supposedly) ineligible, is beyond nutty. 18 U.S.C. section 1001 penalizes lying to the Government, not lying about the Government. If lying about the Government were a crime, Free Republic would have been shut down long ago-- do you think everything expressed on this site is provably true? Do you really want the Department of Justice to have the power to prosecute anyone who says something false about public officials?

That’s the question of the hour. We have to try the legitimate means that have been provided. Prosecutors need to know that if they subvert the will of the people by refusing to enforce the laws, they will be creating a pressure cooker with no steam release valve.

The people who keep the rule of law from working are ultimately creating a very dangerous situation.

Everyone who is afraid of doing something to resist should consider this:

“Some people believe that armed citizens don’t stand a chance against an army, especially one as powerful as USA. This is the BS lie all governments around the world want you to believe, but the reality is very different.

If every block in the country, USA for example, has a dozen men with fire arms, the one that doesn’t stand a chance is the military force. It’s the perfect guerrilla setup, and a general’s worst nightmare.

You can’t nuke or level every block. You can’t arrest the entire country. The “fighters” are already armed, fed, spread out, integrated and infiltrated into the military and government branches. It’s impossible to win.”

Fernando Ferfal Aguirre (SURVIVING THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE )

This is ‘our big stick’- one we don’t even have to use. If we the people would realize this before they starve us, poison us or pauper us out of our homes, maybe more Americans would have the courage to get off their duffs (and be more like butterdezillion).

It is a shame that the media has to think about big money to defend themselves for their lies instead of having the integrity and moral compass to tell the truth because it is right.
