Senate Narrowly Defends Constitution Against the U.N.

In a 53-46 vote, the Senate narrowly passed a measure that will stop the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty. 

The Statement of Purpose from the bill read: 


"To uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty."


The U.N. Small Arms Treaty, which has been championed by the Obama Administration, would have effectively placed a global ban on the import and export of small firearms. The ban would have affected all private gun owners in the U.S., and had language that would have implemented an international gun registry on all private guns and ammunition. The ultimate purpose of the treaty is to confiscate all privately owned firearms in all countries supporting the treaty.

Astonishingly, 46 of our United States Senators were willing to trade our Constitutional rights to a foreign power.


Here are the 46 senators that voted to give your rights to the U.N.
Baldwin (D-WI)
Baucus (D-MT)

BORDER PATROL AGENTS SHATTER DRIVER’S WINDOW, HANDCUFF HIM AFTER HE REFUSES TO COOPERATE AT ‘INTERNAL’ CHECKPOINT

US Border Patrol Break In Driver Window Cam, Pine Valley, California, Inspection Station Checkpoint, 31 May 2013 http://yuma310.com/border_dance.htm

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/07/10/caught-on-video-border-patrol-agents-shatter-drivers-window-after-he-refuses-to-cooperate-at-random-internal-checkpoint-in-calif/

Robert Trudell of Yuma, Ariz. posted an incident that occurred to him. 

He told TheBlaze in an exclusive interview on Wednesday that he was detained for 10 hours by Border Patrol agents following the incident outlined in our original story.

“The event started in Pine Valley, California, at 12:35 in the afternoon and I was released on foot in the city of El Cajon, California at 10:30 p.m. that night by two plain clothes agents driving an unmarked black Dodge Charger,” Trudell explained. “The agents placed a brown paper bag in the parking lot which contained my shoelaces, ID and credit cards along with asset forfeiture receipts for my computers, cameras, car, phone and glasses.”

Trudell said a law enforcement official read him a charge about not complying with an order back at the detention facility. However, he claims he received nothing in writing about any official charges against him. “There is no official charge that I am aware of,” he said.

Revealing his side of the story, Trudell told us the drug dog dispatched to sniff around his vehicle turned up no hits for narcotics. He also said police found no drugs in the car or on him when they removed him from his vehicle after shattering the window.

“I was never aggressive with the agents or officers,” he added.

Trudell told TheBlaze he has gone through the checkpoint many times with the intention of recording the procedure, but other times has been forced to go through the checkpoint to get somewhere. His YouTube channel has several videos of him going through checkpoints while refusing to cooperate with law enforcement.

Trudell said he was on his way to film a senior table tennis tournament in Laguna Woods, Calif., when this particular incident with Border Patrol occurred.

Border Patrol in Pine Valley, Calif., has yet to reply to messages left by TheBlaze.

Fireplace: All Nighter CHUBBY MOE

All Nighter wood stove

All Nighter Stove Works was another big heating concern in the late 1970s. The details are a little sketchy, but it may have had design and copy issues with either Fisher or Chubby Stoves

They have a pretty big following and even used units can go for near $1000 dollars or more used. They had an advanced airtight system which was pretty high-tech for the time. Most models that you see out today are either the Big Moe or Moe Jr(Little Moe). There was also a Chubby Moe a Mid-Moe and a Giant Moe model as well. They had interesting names for sure! The model name would be imprinted right on the door.

If you're trying to guess the model here's a breakdown:

Little Moe: Can fit 18" logs

Mid Moe: Can fit 24" logs

Big Moe: Can fit 36" logs

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

AVTM Official Press Release
RE: Raid on ADAM VS THE MAN Studios 10JUL13

(HERNDON, VA 10 JULY 2013)--- On the evening of Tuesday, 09JUL13, at approximately 7:45 PM, a combination of US Parks Police (an arm of the DHS) raided Adam Kokesh's residence. Local Herndon police assisted in the armed invasion. The officers used a battering ram to knock in the door after two knocks, and did not announce that they had a warrant. Immediately after breaking down the door, a flash bang grenade was deployed in the foyer.

Numerous police vehicles, including a light armored vehicle and two low-flying helicopters barricaded Adam's street. More than 20 armored SWAT team members surrounded the house, as well as a number of detectives, and plainclothes officers. Assault rifles were aimed on all members of the team as they were handcuffed without being told why they were detained. Masked and armored police in full “Storm Trooper” gear flooded in and ransacked the residence. The team was cordoned in a front room, while Adam was pulled aside for questioning.

Over the course of the next five hours, the police searched every corner of the house with canine units and blueprints to the house obtained prior to the search. All officers refused to speak to the crew while they we being detained. They confiscated cell phones and personal items with force. Throughout the ordeal, the police repeatedly showed a volatile desire to initiate aggressive, forceful conduct with detainees. At one point, Adam politely requested to use the restroom and was kicked by the officer forcing him to sit handcuffed on the floor. After hours of determined attempts, the safe was forced open and all items inside were confiscated. Adam was arrested and his crew were told he was being brought to the Herndon Police department overnight. Well after midnight, police officers cleared the house.

Fairfax County Adult Detention Center has stated that it has Adam in custody.

The ADAM VS THE MAN Team will be continuing production on the podcast and the Youtube channel as long as Adam remains imprisoned for an act of civil disobedience. We will continue to spread the message of liberty, self ownership, and the non-aggression principle regardless of the government's relentless attacks on our operation. We will continue to combat its desperate attempts to crush a worldwide, revolutionary shift in the people's understanding of the state's illegitimacy—after all, good ideas don't require force.

DC Breaking Local News Weather Sports FOX 5 WTTG

Kokesh’s supporters are urging people call the US Parks Police non-emergency number at (202) 619 7105 to demand Adam’s release “and that charges be placed on the individuals that committed a B&E, vandalism, destruction of property, theft, and kidnapped Adam at our home.”

Happy 4th of July: DUI Checkpoint - Drug Dogs, Searched without Consent, while Innocent

A man getting stopped at a DUI checkpoint in Rutherford County, Tennessee is a video which includes what the driver believes to be a unconstitutional search of his car where an officer is even recorded saying the man is “perfectly innocent and he knows his rights.”

The video shows driver, 21-year-old Chris Kalbaugh, has his window cracked as Deputy  A.J. Ross walks over asking the man to roll it down further. Kalbaugh says he thinks the level he has it rolled down is “fine” because he is able to hear the officer adequately. Ross asks how old Kalbaugh is (who before providing his answer responds asking if that’s even a relevant question), walks briefly toward the back of the vehicle, returns and then asks Kalbaugh to pull over.

TARIQ RAMADAN PUSHES AMERICAN MUSLIMS “NOT TO INFILTRATE,” BECOME JOURNALISTS, SHAPE PERCEPTIONS, JIHAD IS THE WAY WE IMPLEMENT SHARIA”

1:42:52 I wouldn’t care too much about, you know, the big media. They are changing. It’s going to… It is powerful but we have the power of our presence, we have the power of our principles and we have the power of alternative media. And we should send our children, when they want to do so to… in the field of journalism, to be able to be part of the whole thing and then things are changing.

Last example that I want to give you and I keep on repeating this because we don’t realize this, is… You have trends here who are very much promoting Islamophobia and they are saying, for example: Europe is becoming Eurabia. But why are they saying this? They are saying this because they know something. And once again: don’t work only with emotions and perceptions. Come to facts, figures. Study. Know what is happening. The evolution of history. In less than… You have 16 years, 16 years. We have seen something which was very interesting in the perceptions of the people in one conflict, which is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

1:44:08 ‘67, ‘67, 73% of the… in ’67, 73% of the Europeans were supporting Israel in the conflict. In seventy…, in the seventies… Now, not in the seventies, now, in 2010, we have 66 to 67% of the Europeans supporting the Palestinians. In fact, it’s not coming from… and you know what happened?

LITTLE MUSLIM GIRLS ON PA TV: JEWS ARE THE "MOST EVIL AMONG CREATIONS, BARBARIC MONKEYS, WRETCHED PIGS," CONDEMNED TO "HUMILIATION AND HARDSHIP"

http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=763&fld_id=763&doc_id=9312

PA TV reporter: "Let's meet these girls who want to recite a short poem."
Girl 1: "I do not fear the rifle because your throngs are in delusion and ignorant herds.

Jerusalem is my land, Jerusalem is my honor

Jerusalem is my days and my wildest dreams.

Oh, you who murdered Allah's pious prophets (i.e., Jews in Islamic tradition)

Oh, you who were brought up on spilling blood

You have been condemned to humiliation and hardship.

Oh Sons of Zion, oh most evil among creations

Oh barbaric monkeys, wretched pigs

Girl 2: Jerusalem is not your den

Jerusalem opposes your throngs

Jerusalem vomits from within it your impurity

Because Jerusalem, you impure ones, is pious, immaculate

And Jerusalem, you who are filth, is clean and pure.

I do not fear barbarity.

As long as my heart is my Quran and my city

As long as I have my arm and my stones

As long as I am free and do not barter my cause

I will not fear your throngs

I will not fear the rifle."

America America - Elia Kazan

*** America, America (British title The Anatolian Smile) is a 1963 American dramatic film directed, produced and written by Elia Kazan, from his own book ***
.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America,...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elia_Kaza

In this tale, loosely based upon the life of Kazan's uncle, the director uses little-known cast members, with the entire storyline revolving around the central performance of Greek actor Stathis Giallelis (born 1941), twenty-two years old at the time of production, who is in virtually every scene of the nearly three-hour movie.
The film begins in the late 1890s, as young Greek Stavros Topouzoglou (Giallelis), living in an impoverished village in Turkish Anatolia witnesses brutal oppression by the Turkish authorities of the Greek and Armenian minorities. He is entrusted by his father with the family's financial resources in a mission of hope to the Turkish capital Constantinople (renamed Istanbul in 1930), where he would work in the carpet business of his father's cousin (Harry Davis), although his own dream is to reach the faraway land of opportunity, America. His odyssey begins with a long voyage on a donkey and on foot through the impoverished towns and villages on the way to Constantinople. Due to his kind nature and naivete, he allows himself to be deprived of all his money and arrives at the cousin's home penniless. The older man is deeply disappointed at this turn of events since he was counting on the infusion of funds to rescue his failing enterprise. Nevertheless, he attempts to salvage the situation by proposing that Stavros marry a wealthy merchant's (Paul Mann) young daughter (Linda Marsh). Stavros realizes that such a marriage would mean the end of his American dream and adamantly refuses, abruptly leaving the angry cousin.
Now homeless on the streets of the capital, Stavros survives by eating discarded food and working at backbreaking and hazardous jobs. After nearly a year of scrimping and self-denial, he has some savings, but an encounter with an enticing beauty (Joanna Frank) leaves him, once again, bereft of income. Sinking even lower, he now finds himself living in an overcrowded subterranean hovel, which becomes a scene of chaos and bloodshed when it is attacked with gunfire by authorities purportedly searching for anarchists and revolutionaries. Severely injured in the mayhem, the unconscious Stavros is thrown among piles of dead bodies slated for disposal into the sea. He subsequently topples from the cart transporting the bodies and painfully makes his way to the cousin's residence. The relative takes pity on the young man and allows him to recover at his home. Deprived now of all resistance, Stavros agrees to marry his intended bride. Upon being questioned by her regarding his moodiness, however, he admits that he still plans to emigrate to America, using the dowry money to pay for his passage. She then entreats him to take her along, admitting that she feels no hope in her present situation.
At this point Stavros becomes reacquainted with Hohannes (Gregory Rozakis), a young Armenian, whom Stavros aided with food and clothing during his original voyage to Istanbul. Hohannes informs him that he is being sponsored to America by an employer seeking labor. The offer is also extended to Stavros and his dream now seemed within reach. He tells his intended that he could not marry her, and subsequently embarks on the voyage. There is, however, another major impediment—an affair with the young wife (Katherine Balfour) of an older businessman (Robert H. Harris), well-known to his former prospective father-in-law. The older man lodges a criminal charge against Stavros, which would result in deportation back to Turkey. As everything looks bleak, however, the tubercular Hohannes exchanges documents with Stavros, allowing him to enter America in Hohannes' place.
With the climactic image of the Statue of Liberty as the boatload of immigrants docks in New York Harbor, Stavros puts his tribulations behind him, starting out as a shoeshine boy and gathering the pennies and dollars that will eventually bring his family to the land where their descendants, including Elia Kazan, will have the chance to fulfill their potential.

DRUNK COLLEGE KIDS ARE ASKED ABOUT AMERICAN HISTORY

POLICE INVESTIGATE LIBERTARIAN ACTIVIST

“We will not be silent, we will not obey, we will not allow our government to destroy our humanity. We are, the final, American, revolution. See you next Independence Day,” Adam Kokesh says while he loads the gun.


The Final American Revolution Pledge of Resistance

When a government has repeatedly and deliberately failed to follow its own laws, violated the fundamental human rights of its citizens, threatened the sanctity of a free press, created institutions intended to eliminate privacy of communication, waged war at the behest of special interests that threatens the public safety, killed hundreds of children with drone strikes, imprisoned and destroyed the lives of countless individuals for victimless crimes, stifled economic opportunity to maintain the dominance of the financial elite, stolen from the people through an absurd system of taxation and inflation, sold future generations into debt slavery, and abused its power to suppress political opposition, it is unfit to exist and it becomes the duty of the people to alter or abolish that government by whatever means necessary to secure liberty and ensure peace. A new American revolution is long overdue.

We who recognize the illegitimacy of this government will withdraw our material support.
We will take every reasonable measure to avoid the theft of taxation.
We refuse to serve the federal government with our labor.
We reject the authority of the federal government and will resist at every opportunity.
We demand an orderly dissolution of the federal government through secession and reclamation of federally held property.
We will provide aid and comfort to victims of the state.
We will mark Independence Day not with a celebration of collectivism, but with direct action to create freedom.
We will recruit others to this cause and share this pledge.

The time to sit idly by has passed, to remain neutral is to be complicit, just doing your job is not an excuse, and the line in the sand has been drawn between we the people, and the criminals in Washington, DC. While some timid souls will say that it is too early, that we can solve this problem through democratic means provided by government, that current levels of taxation are reasonable for the services provided, and that the crimes of this government are merely a tolerable nuisance; it may already be too late. While there is risk in drastic action, the greater danger lies in allowing this government to continue unchallenged. We will not be silent, we will not obey, we will not allow the government to destroy our humanity: we are The Final American Revolution.

PAT CONDELL: "OUR CRIPPLING FEAR OF THE TRUTH"

Militarization of the U.S.

An interactive map of botched SWAT and paramilitary police raids, released in conjunction with the Cato policy paper: "Overkill: The Rise of Paramilitary Police Raids," by Radley Balko.

They are, however, part and parcel of two broader phenomena. One is the militarization of domestic law enforcement. In recent years, police departments have widely adopted military tactics, military equipment (armored personnel carriers, flash-bang grenades) — and, sometimes, the mindset of military conquerors rather than domestic peacekeepers.

The other phenomenon is the increasing degree to which civilians are subject to criminal prosecution for noncriminal acts, including exercising the constitutionally protected right to free speech.

Pennsylvanians Against Common Core

Pennsylvanians Against Common Core is committed to providing improved communication with members and regular updates concerning the fight against this one-size-fits-all national education standard. Leadership of PACC has been busy behind the scenes orchestrating opposition and working in Harrisburg to lobby legislators and make them aware of the negative consequences of Common Core to great effect. We continue to rely on the power of the grass roots opposition (you) that we have seen can mobilize when necessary to significantly impact legislators. 

As reported last week, due to input from citizens across the Commonwealth, there has been significant movement in Harrisburg towards stopping Common Core. We strongly recommend that you click here to view the press conference on June 28th held by four education Patriots; Representatives Bloom, Tallman, Kauffman and Lawrence. These guys really "get it" and we should back them and all other opponents of Common Core. 
 
The following bills have been introduced:
 HB 1551 - Legislation to repeal the State Board of Education Pennsylvania Common Core Standards. 
HB 1552 - Exempting private, religious and home-schools from Common Core Standards 
HB 1553 - National Standardized Assessments and Surveys 
HB 1554 – Prohibition of individual student data transfer to the Federal Government 
HB 1555 – Advisory Committee to conduct a study of Common Core Standards prior to any implementation

Ayn Rand on Political Freedom

It took centuries of intellectual, philosophical development to achieve political freedom. It was a long struggle, stretching from Aristotle to John Locke to the Founding Fathers. The system they established was not based on unlimited majority rule, but on its opposite: on individual rights, which were not to be alienated by majority vote or minority plotting. The individual was not left at the mercy of his neighbors or his leaders: the Constitutional system of checks and balances was scientifically devised to protect him from both. This was the great American achievement—and if concern for the actual welfare of other nations were our present leaders’ motive, this is what we should have been teaching the world.

Krauthammer: Obamacare "A Massive Transfer Of Wealth From The Young To The Old"

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Cynicism is always the right assumption when dealing with this administration. I think Senator Barrasso is exactly right. The dates aren't accidental. And I would say, Juan, that the one person who called it that train wreck, Obamacare, was not a Republican. He was the Democratic Senator head of the Budget Committee, Max Baucus, who knows of which he speaks. Look, in the end the bill is a massive transfer of wealth from the young to the old. 

Young people are going to be paying double and triple what [they] would ordinarily be paying in health insurance if the premium were linked to the risk, which is the way that would be for the last 600 years in insurance. But it's not; it's linked to what Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid agreed upon as the risk ratio. So they are going to be doubling and tripling, and the free lunch part of this affair is now over.

Just The Way You Look Tonight

Now Is the Time

which is the revised new version Ian has been performing on stage since the Connecticut school shooting.

All The Young Dudes/Goodnight Irene

I had Ian sign the first song he received song writing credit on, "And I Have Learned to Dream," recorded by Dave Berry, in 1966. When I asked him to sign it he said, "That's an old one," and I responded by telling him that it was his first record, and he asked innocently, "Who wrote that?" I told him he did but that it was under his real name. In other words, "Patterson." He said, "Well, in that case, you have something that even I don't have."

I would think that the first of something he did, in music and something that he was pursuing would be invaluable but he doesn't seem to give much thought to it.

The opening act was Wreckless Eric best known from his one great single, "Whole Wide World."

and recently covered by the Proclaimers;

Eric's acoustic version is very rare;

and live;

and on ChorusTV, France 1980;
