How are we safeguarding the Continental Congress from the wrong people getting in?

"Human beings with love and compassion are some of the most beautiful creatures in the universe... Those without are a plague on us all."

asking whether I think it is time to have our opponent guessing what we are doing.

Short answer is that would be helpful but I do not think it will happen nor is that even possible for us to achieve. I do think we can improve, some, in this area.

I agree that in any conflict what is known/called today OPSEC(Operational Security) is very important and we are definitely in direct conflict with a very powerful, entrenched and determined opponent that is very savvy to OPSEC. We are clearly not savvy about OPSEC, nor are we likely as a group to ever become so to a degree that will overcome the inherent obstacles we have in this area and the inherent strengths of our opponents in this regard.

The prime obstacle in this area is the very nature of our group, we are a non-cohesive and large group of individual "Leaders". Each of our leaders publicly announce their proposed plans to gain feedback and support. That process is not only very public it plays out so slowly that our opponents are easily able to watch anything we do develop and play out in the exact/real-time as us "insiders".

Our opponents prime strength, not including the fact they have been playing the power game for centuries and we less than three years(generally), is their nature is of a very small group of very cohesive, very long associated, very secretive, very private, very intelligent and very ruthless people that are the latest in a long line of heirs to power. They are both genetically predisposed and well schooled in how power is seized, expanded and guarded. They have always understood the extreme importance of keeping both their Grand Strategic Goal and each tactical move hidden to any but their tiny inner circle so they plan their plots in complete privacy which is easily, near effortlessly, accomplished because they are a very small group that are very clear on whom is completely trustworthy and whom are not.

Adding to the above basic strengths is an extensive bag of tools to neutralize any leaks that may occur, monitor and analyze the activities of anything or anyone that could in the least probability threaten their choke hold on power and the complete ruthlessness and complete lack of ethics/morality to utilize any of the tools without a second thought or least qualm.

We, on the other hand and against this have no natural inclination to nor knowledge of power, are generally very ethical, trusting, loving, well meaning and abhor secrecy, plotting, scheming, etc.

Many of our number labor under the delusion and false hope that the very institutions that are used to control and enslave us can somehow be persuaded and learned into coming around, seeing the light and becoming the allies, tools of our magical swift victory. While this common aspect of human nature is understandable and an indicator of a level of good, well-meaning innocence in this endeavor it is a naive and dangerous liability to our cause.

All of my preceding blabbity is background for my assessment of what is the best we can hope for and strive to achieve in this important area.

1. We will never achieve a meaningful level of security relative to our opponent.

2. The best we can hope for is to achieve a wide, deep level of understanding among our number of this weakness and have each remain mindful of critical facts to minimize self-inflicted damage.

Some critical facts:

*We are constantly monitored in both our discussions and our actions

"We are subjected constantly to efforts to disrupt/counter our discussions and actions

*Our opponents will do anything, ANYTHING to win/not lose

*Our opponents tools will never, NEVER become our tools-Big Megaphones, (their)small megaphones, (their) politicos, (their)institutions, etc.)

*Trying to get anything of benefit from their tools is playing with fire, not to be approached casually

The Tea Party Express may move on to Illinois, or so the rumor goes.

Should the conclusions of the Assembly be as strong as many think, it may well be necessary to protect this august Assembly by numbers, as on 9/12.

I disagree most strongly, however, with the suggestion that the Militias should show up. They need to stay just where they are. They will know best the hour, which we pray will not come. The Old Guard will be sufficient, if only as fodder. Years of defeat have brought wisdom and cool-headedness; we've been ready for years.

As to the comment questioning the integrity of Robert Schulz, I must say it surprised me, though these sort of unfounded attacks are nothing new. The enemy has blasted him for years and more seriously than can be known. Then along came the Libertarians with their taudry attacks on his devotion to the Constitution. Between the attacks of the Enemy on Schulz's person and the attacks of the Libertarians on his dedication, it was difficult to tell the difference.

It was the funds of We The People Foundation and his private funds that launched and sustained the national tour to promote The Continental Congress 2009. It was a difficult feat and done FOR THE PEOPLE, not for himself or WTP. Schulz is a dedicated patriot that has worked steadily, quietly the past TEN years through the courts defending the Constitution. There is no patriot I respect more.

Here is another fact perhaps you don't know: Schulz and Aaron Russo first came up with the plan for Dr. Paul to run for President in 2008. True, others convinced Paul to run, but the idea was birthed by two patriots, Schulz and Russo.

While nominations were being made.
I am delighted with my state's delegation.

No dual citizenship types allowed.

She's a kook.

No secret oaths or secret proceedings. Good works are done in the light.

For security from tyrannical intervention and globalist infiltration, I would use the militias. It's about time they got out of the woods and bunkers and did something actually useful anyways.

Just my 2 cents.

/em searches in pocket...

Ok, here's 2 more cents:

Some RP delegates I talked to at the convention and the C4L event were very leery of Schultz. One knew him, and claimed there were monetary indiscretions with the donations. I guess Devy Kidd left WTP also because of ethical issues about how the money was being spent.

What if this whole CC2009 is just a big show to make and sell DVD's, and simply just profit off of the patriot movement and RP Revolution?

I hope it's a useful event. Not holding my breath though.

the people redress the government for all its wrong doings. It is made into a public record and used to bring notice to those elected officials that there are those Americans who have not forgotten what it means to be an American.

Foreign Ideologies that contravene the founding of our Law based upon individual and national sovereignty is a mortal enemy of the people. We will not be slaves.

constitutional convention where amendments to the constitution are raised.
