Here are the facts!

I just received the following information in a e-mail from a very good friend of mine, a retired Marine! It is on the subject of the history of gun control and I find the information very interesting with facts that should wake up America.

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control and between 1929 and 1953 about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1911, Turkey established gun control and from 1915 to 1917 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1938 Germany established gun control and from 1939 to 1945 a total of 13 million Jews and others, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

China established gun control in 1935 and from 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Guatemala established gun control in 1964 and from then to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Unganda established gun control in 1970 and in the next nine years 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themsleves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956 and from 1975 to 1977 one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

The total of defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th century because of gun control: 56 million!

You won't see this data on the U.S. evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information. Guns in the hands of honest law abiding citizens save lives and property.

Take note my fellow Americans, before it is too late. With guns we are "citizens." Without them we are "subjects."

In Switzerland they issue every household a gun! The government trains every adult they issue a rifle to with it's proper use! SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!

IT'S A NO BRAINER! I'm a firm believer of the 2nd Amendment!

WE BETTER WAKE UP!

I am simply going to quote so I am going to report, you decide. Here are 5 quotes from Thomas Jefferson .

"Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day."

"Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, it must be that of every free state."

"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."

"I predict a future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them."

"Experience hath shown, that even under the best forms of government, those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny."

The following quotes are from George Washington (1732 - 1799)

"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is a force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."

"If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter."

"Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."

"Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth."

The United States of America is one of the few countries in history where law can actually be deemed illegal by the people of the country. That benefit is fundamental to the Constitution, and the foundation of our liberties as citizens of the United States of America. It is time to remember that the United States is an odd country, and that there has always been such a thing as "illegal law" here. Keep in mind, there is one common activity that the President, the House and Senate members, the Supreme Court Judges, and all other elected officials do when they take office, and that is to swear or affirm to uphold the Constitution of the United States.

The reason this is a big deal is because the Constitution was written as a document allowing elected and appointed officials to control the government of the U.S., but only under certain conditions. There is a reason why the Constitution begins with "We the people.... do ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States of America."

The Constitution sets the standards under which government laws and activities may be conducted, and if they are not conducted that way, they are illegal! It doesn't matter what office a man or woman holds, President, or Judge, or Representative or Senator, all come under the power of those constitutional rules.

Friends we are simply seeing the minority taking away the liberties of the majority and our freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to bear arms, and the taking of money from the rich and distributing it to the poor is illegal law and it is happening right under our noses. May God save our country!

A fire storm!

Wow, has Obama ever hit a sore spot with the vast majority of U.S. citizens with his latest proposal for national health care. Keep in mind I'm speaking for myself when I state that I believe the Obama administration is the most dangerous administration that I have seen in my 77 years as a citizen of the United States.

I have never seen such a division of the US citizenship as I'm now seeing at Townhall meetings being held across our country. I've also never seen our public officials attacking their own constituents with such slanderous terms and an obvious failure to be willing to listen to what the voters have to say in regard to this subject.

At this point it seems the Democrats have no intention of listening to the will of the people who have put them in office. Not only our current living Americans going to have to pay back the trillions that have been recklessly spent by the Obama administration, but our children and grandchildren are definitely going to be saddled with a debt that will totally change the America that you and I have grown up to love.

It is my earnest prayer that our elected officials will listen to the desires of people they were elected to represent. I can understand the dissatisfaction of the Americans. When we send our brave troops to fight a war in Vietnam that had no direct bearing on the security of our nation. I can even understand why many of our citizens turned against George Bush when he decided to eliminate Saddam Hussein. What I don't hear is those who are criticizing the Bush administration for going to war in the Middle East giving praise to the administration that eliminated any further attack by radical Islamic's on our homeland soil.

I have to admit that I'm not smart enough to have all the answers, but I do have enough common sense to realize that our nation is heading in a direction that was never foreseen by our founding fathers. I love our freedom, and I still believe that we have the greatest nation on the face of the earth but also have to realize that we are quickly sliding down that slippery slope to socialism, which not only is going to affect us with the loss of our freedom but our generations to follow are going to end up serving the government instead of the government serving them.

I too was disappointed in the performance of the Republicans when they had control of Congress and the White House, but in retrospect, it looks like they were the far better of the two evils that we now find in our political parties.

Hey, God help our nation!

Are you hurting?

I have been watching the administration as they attempt to resolve the nation's financial woes and I can not make any sense out of what I see. Hundreds of billions of dollars are being spent which we are told will end up costing trillions to pay back, which by the way, will have to be done as a big percentage of the money is borrowed from foreign investors. The Fed cannot just print more money as that would turn the world into a tailspin financially and devalue the dollar beyond repair. Has the "stimulus" money helped you in anyway? I don't believe so!

There has been so much flip/flopping by this administration (Obama) already that it makes your head spin. I do not believe that they can spend hundreds of billions of dollars of the tax payers money and expect to solve the problems any more than you can spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on video equipment that you will never use in your practice and believe that somehow it will all wash out in the end. I believe that there has never been a better time for America to look at itself and face the fact that Washington is not the answer to the problem. They are actually the problem. You might say that I am just anti-democratic party but that is not the case. I am anti- big government and anti-socialism and that is what is happening to our great country right before our eyes.

Both parties are guilty as sin when it comes to spending our tax dollars just to get more people to vote for their parties candidates. We could all personally be heading into serious problems in the very near future if each of us does not watch out. Now is the time to stop spending and let the equipment that we already have pay us back for our investment.

I know, it is tempting to get the very latest video equipment because we want to be "State-of-the-art" and be able to show off our very latest toys, but I believe that the equipment that we already have can do the job, as it has in the past, especially when the video formats are changing every hour on the hour. I believe that we should set back and let this thing sort itself out while we invest our funds in marketing our selves rather than putting ourselves in deeper financial debt purchasing equipment that will not make us one more dollar than the equipment that we already own.

One other thought, maybe the time could not be better than right now to do an inventory of our equipment that we are no longer using and offer it for sale on Ebay. I know that I have several thousands of dollars worth of very good equipment that I do not need any more and you will be seeing it offered for sale very soon. I would love to hear your thoughts on the subject!

Well, the new president is now in office (they had to swear him in twice just to make sure it was going to stick) so it will be interesting to see just where he leads us during the next four years. It is not going to be easy for the good old U.S.A. to get out of the financial mess the country is now in and I just hope he doesn't make it worse. It will be a whole lot worse if he gives away all the money that he promised to dole out during his campaign for the office. I will continue to pray for him and our nation and I am sure that God will hear and answer our prayers as long as we as a nation honor Him.

It was interesting that he had Pastor Rick Warren give the invocation at his inauguration. I am presently reading his best selling book, "The Purpose Driven Life". I just received an email quoting Pastor Rick and here is his suggestion as to what we should be doing during our lives here on good old planet earth: "During happy moments, PRAISE GOD; during difficult moments, SEEK GOD: during quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD; during painful moments, TRUST GOD; and every moment, THANK GOD!"

I certainly thank our awesome God for his many blessings to Jan and I and one of those blessings are the wonderful people that he has brought together in the American Guild of Court Videographers! We are continuing to grow faster than ever as we have enrolled better than one new member a day during the month of January.

I sincerely hope that you are capitalizing on the tremendous increase of legal proceedings that are going on in our courts across the nation today. If not, get out there and whip up the lawyers as they have found out that any attorney that goes into court today without good video evidence is the one that comes out the loser every time. The X and Y generation will not be impressed with an attorney that still uses the procedures that have long gone by the way. See ya!
