This is the video that I have been waiting for - Stewart Rhodes of Oath Keepers at the Committees of Safety Rally on Lexington Green last Sunday. Oath Keepers is a grassroots group of military, veterans, and peace officers who vow to honor their oaths to defend the Constitution, and vow NOT to “just follow orders.”

Their mission to stand for liberty and save the Republic. Their motto: "Not on Our Watch!" This was the most powerful presentation of the rally.

Here is the playlist:

Thank you to sempiternal for the link.

During the campaign, Ron Paul often said, "thank you for inviting me to your revolution!" The revolution continues, and I urge you to honor and support true grassroots organizations like the Oath Keepers and the Committees of Safety. Walter Reddy of the Committees of Safety deserves special recognition for what he is doing. He is putting everything on the line -- his name, his fame and his entire fortune for the cause of Liberty. Oath Keepers: The Orders We Will Not Obey

1. We will NOT obey orders to disarm the American people.

2. We will NOT obey orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people

3. We will NOT obey orders to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or to subject them to military tribunal.

4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a “state of emergency” on a state.

5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty.

6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps.

7. We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext.

8. We will NOT obey orders to assist or support the use of any foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people to “keep the peace” or to “maintain control.”

9. We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies.

10.We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances.

The honorable Peace Officer knows that he is not the Judge and that the Judge is not the Jury. His honor comes from honoring the Law.

ROBOTS DON'T TAKE OATHS!!

By Bernd Debusmann

WASHINGTON, April 22 (Reuters) - They have no fear, they never tire, they are not upset when the soldier next to them gets blown to pieces. Their morale doesn't suffer by having to do, again and again, the jobs known in the military as the Three Ds - dull, dirty and dangerous.

They are military robots and their rapidly increasing numbers and growing sophistication may herald the end of thousands of years of human monopoly on fighting war. "Science fiction is moving to the battlefield. The future is upon us," as Brookings scholar Peter Singer put it to a conference of experts at the U.S. Army War College in Pennsylvania this month.

Singer just published Wired For War - the Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century, a book that traces the rise of the machines and predicts that in future wars they will not only play greater roles in executing missions but also in planning them.

Numbers reflect the explosive growth of robotic systems. The U.S. forces that stormed into Iraq in 2003 had no robots on the ground. There were none in Afghanistan either. Now those two wars are fought with the help of an estimated 12,000 ground-based robots and 7,000 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the technical term for drone, or robotic aircraft.

Ground-based robots in Iraq have saved hundreds of lives in Iraq, defusing improvised explosive devices, which account for more than 40 percent of U.S. casualties. The first armed robot was deployed in Iraq in 2007 and it is as lethal as its acronym is long: Special Weapons Observation Remote Reconnaissance Direct Action System (SWORDS). Its mounted M249 machinegun can hit a target more than 3,000 feet away with pin-point precision.

From the air, the best-known UAV, the Predator, has killed dozens of insurgent leaders - as well as scores of civilians whose death has prompted protests both from Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The Predators are flown by operators sitting in front of television monitors in cubicles at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada, 8,000 miles from Afghanistan and Taliban sanctuaries on the Pakistani side of the border with Afghanistan. The cubicle pilots in Nevada run no physical risks whatever, a novelty for men engaged in war.

TECHNOLOGY RUNS AHEAD OF ETHICS

I respect your right to take an oath.
But I never understood the importance of taking a pledge to either a flag or an oath to the Constitution. Honest men don't need to take a pledge and dishonest men won't keep it anyways.

The only difference between them and us is we have a 'soul and conscience', they are devoid of it. True killer machines.

This is equivilent to the Manhattan Project. Only even more insidious because these can be used against all citizens everywhere.

Wow. Yup. Robots just take

That needs to be seen by all military and law enforcement.

Thanks for this

Michael New?

You've gotta be kidding us! The "hero" complained so he and they didn't have to wear a blue beret. But he wasn't too smart was he? He never read the Constitution. If he had then he would have realized he was part of an undeclared war. But he went anyway.

You present New as an example of an "oath keeper"?

I took my oath three decades ago, sans expiration date. So far, I haven't reneged.

Welcome Brothers and Sisters of the Militia. You may find yourself on your own at a moment's notice, so be prepared to think for yourselves.

have taken an oath to defend the Constitution that if even half of those took their oath seriously AND understood what that really means, the battle would be over.

We would have won without firing a shot.

But as long as it remains only a relative handful of people that understand these principles, the few that do will be in danger of being labeled traitors and the Constitution will hang by a thread.

I thought I would try to help this effort...

Submitted by paul4won on Tue, 04/21/2009 - 10:43.

I took a copy of the orders to the TEA Party I approached 3 men wearing Vet insignia of some sort. I asked them to look it over, and if it resonated with them to please get involved. I got 3 dirty looks and moved on to another topic... although the Continental Congress and Sheriff Mack fliers did not get warmly received either. The Tea Partiers seemed to want a brownie button for coming to the Tea Party, they do NOT want anyone bothering them about politics...

I REALLY support this effort, but think it must be spread Vet to Vet. I thought Vets at the Tea Party would be "pre-screened" but apparently I was mistaken.

Vet to vet, I think it will

Submitted by Michael Nystrom on Tue, 04/21/2009 - 11:08.

Vet to vet, I think it will spread like wild fire. For non-vets, I think we can use the "six degrees of separation" method. We should pass this on to anyone we know, who is in the military or knows someone in the military.

Good guess.

Submitted by Devon_Saunders on Wed, 04/22/2009 - 13:01.

It is spreading like wildfire, actually. I'm getting emails from people I've not talked to for years that are excited about this. So vet-to-vet is working quite well.

as a way of pulling aside the curtains of doubt. I was at the rally on Sunday and was particularly struck by Sheriff Mack's description of how that famous incident on the bus in Montgomery could have and should have been handled. What a breath of fresh air to hear a man respond decently, respectfully and correctly when what was simply a question of law came up, a question that would properly be decided by a jury.

May I suggest that we are now a nation so conditioned to the wrong, the appalling, that such contrasts as Sheriff Mack provided on Sunday are desperately needed? Thank God for the Oathkeepers.

I totally agree!!
