Recently, I have spoken often about the lack of public awareness regarding their government, the laws, and the realities of life. The removal of books from required reading lists in schools is only the beginning. Fahrenheit 451, Orwell’s 1984 and more have disappeared from those reading lists. We all need to read books like them, they portray a possible vision of the future and warn of their  potential to deny our liberties and destroy our lives.

US based watchdog, militias, and freedom groups are a necessary part of our society. They help expose potentially negative activities within our government. Although armed conflict will hopefully never be the required means necessary to correct such infringements, our second amendment rights serve to remind government officials of what our founding fathers intended. I highly recommend reading the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights, especially the second amendment.

On of the most troubling stories currently on my desk is the story of US Government questionnaires alluding to the ceding of power and control of our military to the UN and it potential use to enforce gun control on our citizens on home soil.  Posse Comitatus part of USC Title Code 10 was created to stop such actions from occurring. In recent years it seems that the law has been eroded and circumvented. The law and some commentary can be read on the Posse Comitatus Page.
