I looked into this organization on their website (now defunct) some years back. It consisted of active, reserve, retired military. It also included active, reserve, retired LEO's. I saw nothing nefarious about their promise to uphold their Oaths to the Constitution. They may have changed their tactics...I don't know.

For those unaware, certain members of this very website created Veterans for Constitutional Restoration (VetsCoR), a legal non-profit corporation. I was proud to be a founding member and then Secretary who wrote a monthly newsletter for the members. I later became Chairman.

VetsCoR's purpose and mission was to build a Veterans' movement to inform and address by peaceful means the anti-Constitution activities of our politicians. Unfortunately we couldn't get the funding to go large and get our message out.

More importantly, the Vets we would approach through personal contacts and the various Veteran organizations like American Legion, VFW, AMVETS and others had little interest in politics. They felt they had done their duty and would rather hang out at their local Posts, while conducting local charitable events. Fair enough. They all do a LOT of good for the causes they support.

VetsCoR motto:

AN OATH IS FOREVER

America will have its reckoning with these judicial scoundrels. Rhodes will never serve this outrageous sentence.

I certainly hope you are correct, but I’m starting to lose faith in a huge chunk of the American populace. Sigh.

This was good news for Rhodes. Prosecutor wanted 25 years as punishment for a conviction of seditious conspiracy to overthrow the US constitution.

Hey, me too!

I was proud of that. I do miss Neil Wright and his leadership on that. Still got my certificate on the wall.

I joined Oath Keepers when they first came out. Never really participated though, so I haven’t been rounded up by the FIB... Yet.

"If I am in a Democrat enclave, do two things: 1) Commit no actions whatsoever, except the second, which is 2) Leave the Democrat enclave as quickly as possible."

That's good advice for everyone.

As we travel about the country always do so by avoiding the blue as much as possible.. And NEVER spend the night in any of those crap-holes..

A friend just told me that Kelly Meggs was also sentenced today—12 years.

Same judge.

The only confirmation I’ve seen so far is Fox News.

Sondergerichte, special courts.

Judges in Nazi Germany were then instructed that in the event of any conflict between the Nazi Party and Law, the Nazi Party should always succeed as their objectives surmounted any notions of fair play.

“As chief of the German justice system, I can only say that since the National Socialist legal system is the foundation of the National Socialist State, for us, our supreme Führer is also supreme judge. And since we know how sacred the principles of justice are to our Führer, we can assure you, fellow citizens, that your life and existence is secure in this National Socialist State of order, freedom, and law!”

If that’s what they’ll do to their own operatives, imagine what they’ll do to real patriots.

Should be Comey, (the) Stork, McCabe and Wray instead. Obama, Clinton and Biden should be charged with Treason for selling us out to China, tried, found guilty and then hung.

This J6 Debacle makes our current set of politicians immoral at the very least. They are nothing but cowardly, unethical, dishonorable two bit conmen shaming our country, its founders and every Trooper who spilt blood for America.

Shows how much they’ve hated Oath Keepers all these years and couldn’t wait to pin something on them.
