"In 1951, [Reverend Jim] Jones (Jonestown) began attending communist meetings and rallies in Indianapolis.[4] Jones became flustered at harassment he received during the McCarthy Hearings,[4] particularly, regarding meetings between Jones and his mother with Paul Robeson.[5] This, among other things, provoked a seminal moment for Jones where he asked himself "how can I demonstrate my Marxism? The thought was, infiltrate the church."[5][4]"
"In the summer of 1977, Jones and most of the 900 members of the People's Temple moved to Guyana from San Francisco after media pressure built.[25] Jones left the same night that an editor at New West magazine read Jones an article by Marshall Kilduff to be published detailing allegations by former Temple members.[25][16] Jones named the settlement Jonestown after himself.
Jones purported to establish Jonestown as a benevolent model communist community stating, 'I believe were the purest communists there are.' [26] Jones' wife, Marceline, described Jonestown as "dedicated to live for socialism, total economic and racial and social equality. We are here living communally."[26] Jones wanted to construct a model community to show others and stated that Prime Minister of Guyana Forbes Burnham 'couldnt rave enough about us, uh, the wonderful things we do, the project, the model of socialism.'[27] In that regard, like the restrictive emigration policies of the then Soviet Union, Cuba, North Korea and other communist republics, Jones did not permit members to leave Jonestown.[28]
Jones and several members argued that the group should commit "revolutionary suicide" by drinking cyanide-laced grape flavored Flavor Aid (often misidentified as Kool-Aid) along with a sedative.[39]
One member, Christine Miller, dissents toward the beginning of the tape.[39] When members apparently cried, Jones counseled "Stop this hysterics. This is not the way for people who are Socialists or Communists to die. No way for us to die. We must die with some dignity."[39] Jones can be heard saying, "Don't be afraid to die" and, regarding death as "just stepping over into another plane" and that "[death is] a friend."[39] At the end of the tape, Jones concludes: "We didn't commit suicide, we committed an act of revolutionary suicide protesting the conditions of an inhumane world."[39] Children were given the drink first and families were told to lie down together. The mass suicide had been discussed in simulated events called "White Nights" on a regular basis, while members drank liquid Jones first told them was poison during at least one of those White Nights.
Gray haired ladies at a TEA Party protest get SWAT teams and military training exercizes.
Racial gang members with billy clubs at a voting booth get protected.
Can anyone else see where this is going?
Wow. This goes along with what I’ve long thought, that we “Tea Partiers” can’t expect the military to side with us 100% should things start getting ‘rough’ with the Obamunists.
At best its going to be a 50-50 split. We’re in for some tough times folks.
His conclusion? There is no way to know for sure if they would obey an order to open fire on ordinary citizens.
I believe it
And that will stop Obama how??
I AM an enemy of the State, as defined by Obambi or ANY flavor of statist/control freak. INCLUDING the statists/control freaks that call themselves “conservatives.”
“Here’s a Fox News video clip of left-wing protesters throwing plastic bottles at a policeman’s head”
Oh, come on. That is just the Foxnews cameraman shaking his camera to make the protesters look bad. /s
Someone actually said that on Foxnews. The guy also said that there is proof that the n-word was used: Rep. Lewis said it was used and he would not lie.
And now we taxpayers pay a fortune to protect a mountain of relatively useless, burdensome, inedible stuff that protects an idiotic, long gone, outlawed illusion of national financial solvency. God has a great sense of humor. I laugh as I pass it.
I'm a tea partier. I have a Rand Paul bumper sticker on my car. I wouldn't waste five seconds of my precious time protesting the Gold Vault.
People: creative, inventive and hard working individuals are the true wealth of a nation. The Human Resource Center of Excellence is coming to Ft Knox. Ain't it ironic?
"Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who allegedly killed 11 [count now 13, or 14 if you include the unborn child of the 21-year-old female soldier -etl] people before being shot and wounded by police at Fort Hood, had said Muslims should "rise up" and attack Americans in retaliation for the US war in Iraq, a former army colleague said."
"He said Muslims should stand up and fight the aggressor and that we should not be in the war in the first place." He said that Major Hasan said he was "happy" when a US soldier was killed in an attack on a military recruitment centre in Arkansas in June. An American convert to Islam was accused of the shootings.
Col Lee alleged that other officers had told him that Major Hasan had said "maybe people should strap bombs on themselves and go to Times Square" in New York."

Sorry, I misread what you wrote as “Fort Hood” (as opposed to “Fort Knox”).
We will either vote at the ballot box or from the rooftops in November, but we WILL vote. The choice is up to the federal government.
Drunken gun toting wackos are more of a danger to each other than anyone else.

Don’t forget the children in shorts and babies in strollers.
I didn’t know there was a TEA party compound. /s
The above statement makes the contention total BS.
