Total Chaos II

Hey Patriots:

Continuing on!!

“Scenario two:  After a few days, people notice that after the sun goes down, your house is the only house in the area that has lights.  So, one night, again about five days into the crisis, there is a knock on the door.  You look out the peephole, and notice a young woman with an infant in her arms.  Not feeling threatened, you open the door.  As you do, several men burst through, knock you down, pull out their weapons and demand that you give them all of your food and water.  They plunder your house, beat you and your family or maybe even kill you and your family and take over the house, which is now theirs.”

My son goes on to explain that there will be several types of people when the system fails:  the patriot prepared person, the takers, the meek and the military.  He tells me that the first to die will be the elderly and the children under ten.  The elderly will not be able to survive in the crisis because there will be no one to care for them.  The populace will be too busy trying to survive.  And, the young kids will not be able to fend for themselves against the hungry thirsty adults in a lawless society.

He told me that someone in the media interviewed a man about surviving in this kind of an emergency and the man flat out stated that he would not own anything, but that he would kill, murder his neighbors who had what he wanted.  If they had food, he would break in and kill them for their food. If they had water, he would break down their door and kill them for their water.  If they had gold and/or silver and it benefitted him, he would kill them and take it.  And, he would go from neighborhood to neighborhood killing and taking.

Then we went back to the, “What will you do when,” game.

What will you do when the takers, the marauders in full Kevlar body armor traveling in groups  of ten to one hundred find you and break down your door, take you prisoner, tie you up and make you watch while they forcibly and repeatedly rape your wife and daughter until you tell them where all of your valuables are hidden.  How much torture can you withstand?  What are you going to do when they strip you naked, strap you down in a chair, take out a ball peen hammer and start breaking the knuckles on your feet, then break the bones in your ankles and then break all of the bones in your hands?  How much pain can you endure?  What are you going to do when they take your testicles and crush them?  What are you going to do when they beat you unconscious, and you wake up hanging by your feet completely hairless and they start skinning you alive?  When they take your own skinning knife and start ripping large chunks of skin off of your body?  How long will it take before you tell them where all of your stores are?  Where your gold and silver are hidden?  How brave are you?  How much pain can you with stand?  What are you going to do when they cut your wife’s breast’s off right in front of you?  When they continuously sodomize your daughter in front of you?  When will you give it up?  There are ruthless, soul less people in this world and every creep that ever crawled out of the mud will try to hurt you to get, no, to take what is yours.  I don’t care if your army ranger, Green Beret, special black opts operative.  I don’t care if you can shoot the eye out of a squirrel running across the field two hundred yards away.  I don’t care if you were a sniper and can hit a target 1300 yards away.  You will lose! 

Let’s say these guys/gals come at you.  In anticipation, however, you have fortified your house.  You’ve upgraded to bullet proof glass.  You’ve switched out your doors for the heavy duty metal door.  You have your Kevlar body armor; as does the rest of your family.  You’ve taught your family how to shoot.  You are ready for battle.  They come at you.  And, being a ammunition conservative – that means, one bullet, one kill, you and your family manage to kill the first 5,000 that try to take what’s yours.  Then, having run out of ammunition, you take out the bows and kill another 20 or 30 enemy.  Now, they breech your defenses.  You take out your machete and commando knife and kill another five or six before they get you.  But, in the end, they do get you.  You lose!!!  End of story!!  Again, how much pain can you handle before you give it all up?  What are you going to do when bullets are more valuable than gold and/or silver?  In short, in the end you’re screwed and you’re dead.

Let’s look at another option.  Let’s say that you hook up with about ten other militia-survivalist patriots.  You all get together, find a piece of land.  You build on the land.  You get your energy systems running.  You get your water purification system.  You fortify your compound.  You electrify the fence you constructed around your land.  You put out land mines.  You set up your Claymore mines in ac crisscross pattern so that every inch of your boundary is covered every which way from Sunday and then some.  Your gardens are producing all you can eat and more.  You have all the meat you can store.  You are totally fortified and able to protect that which is yours.  So, now you are not in a FEMA camp, but, you are in a prison camp of your own making.  Now, also, you are large enough to get on the radar of not only the marauders, but the government.   First the marauders come and you are able to beat them off.  Now, the government troops show up.  First the local agency shows up, then FEMA, DELTA, NATO and then the U.S. Army.   You try to reason with them to leave you alone.  They can’t, however, because you are outside of the regular adopted system.  You are not controlled and you must be controlled.  The Army moves in with tanks, helicopters (e.g. Apache’s with stinger air to ground missiles), and battalion strength ground forces.  Your anti-tank ground mines, Claymore mines and electrified fences are no match for the military.  You surrender.  They take you to a FEMA camp in the area, chip you, retinal scan you and process you into the new totalitarian government and you are just another slave.  Or, you decide to shoot it out with a superior force, take about a hundred with you and die.  Either way, it’s game over!!

I then turned the tables on him and asked, “Okay smart ass, what are you going to do?”

“I” he answered, “Am going to become a mountain man a la “Jeremiah Johnson.”

“Like the movie with Robert Redford,” I exclaim.

“Yep!”  He proclaims.  “I’m learning how to hunt, trap and fish.  I’m learning which berries are good and which are poisonous.  I will have my sleeping bag, my rifle, my side arm, my fishing pole, my cross bow and arrows and  my knives.  I will live of the land in the wilderness.  Just an innocuous traveler, trapper with no visible means of any type,  I will have nothing that anybody would want even if they could find me.

“What about your wife,” I queried?

“Oh, she and our two dogs will be with me, living off of the land; bothering nobody and not being bothered or seen by anybody else.”  

“That’s a pretty bleak existence,” I continue.

“Yes, but at least I’ll be free!” he retorts.

“It’s all a matter of perspective,” I share.  “It all comes down to the “Flight or fight” auto respond system that we all have.”

“No, it comes down to survival at the lowest common denominator,” he says.

So, let me ask you a question.  What will you do when…?”

I look forward to your input.

Until next time, I am Eldee C. Spratt, “The American Patriot!”  I’m a candidate for the Presidency of the United States and I want your support and vote.  Ever the optimist, I still believe with God’s help we can still turn this country around and take back our Constitution.  Please help me!  Thank You.

     
      

Total Chaos - What Will You Do When

Hello Patriots:

We’re going to take a little detour from the Constitution.

I traveled to Syracuse this past week.  My eldest son just graduated from a U.S. Navy sponsored program in journalism.  He was one of eight men selected for the program.  He is now a certified “motion media journalist.”  His next duty station is Naples Italy for the next three years (tough duty, eh).  After four tours in Iraq, two of those tours as a combat cameraman entrenched with a navy seal team, he was told that he was finished in the Middle East and given his choice of duty stations.  He chose Japan, where he worked in the news room of the Armed Forces Radio station for four years before being selected for the Syracuse program.

The day after his graduation, we took a trip to Niagara Falls, after which we drove up to Toronto to watch the Los Angeles Angels play the Toronto Blue Jays.  On our journey, which took about two and a half hours because of traffic, I asked my son if he could help me take this blog viral.  He, of course, asked me why?  I explained to him that the country was in a huge mess and that I needed to be the President to straighten out the mess.  He told me that it was too late.  And, he told me that he had no idea on how to use social media to make a blog go viral.  I queried, “How can that be?  You just graduated from Syracuse in ‘motion media’?”  He chuckled and replied, “I work in television.  I don’t use Facebook or YouTube or blogs.  You’re on your own.

Then we got into the discussion on the impending crash and downfall of this country.  I told him of all the things I was trying to do to ready myself and my family for the melt down.

That is when he let loose, “It doesn’t matter what you’re doing.  When the proverbial Sh*t hits the fan, it isn’t going to matter.  The best thing you could do is not own anything.”

I started telling him about being self -sufficient.  I told him that for about $100 per panel, one could have solar energy; for about $250, one could have wind energy - the wind in Las Vegas blow at least 300 days out of the year.  Hence, with solar and wind and about 18 golf cart batteries, while the rest of the grid is dark, without electricity, one’s freezer, refrigerator, TV, radio and computer still worked.

I told him about the supplies that one needed to stockpile, the fresh water, the water purifying system and the vertical hanging vegetable and fruit gardens, extra batteries, etc., etc…

He replied, “So what!”

I answered, “What do you mean, so what?”

He explained, “When the system collapses, there is going to be complete chaos and anarchy.  The wealthy, privileged and powerful, will have already fled the country to another place or country where they are already setting up for their next place where they will be secure and exempt from the pending crisis.  Even Rush Limbaugh, who has a net worth in excess of $32 million talks about it, but won’t give his listeners any details, is ready to jump ship.  Martial law will be imposed.  FEMA troops, the U.S. military, DELTA and NATO Troops will be all over this country trying to reestablish law and order.  Within the first three hours, all of the grocery stores will be plundered.  If you don’t believe me, look at what happened when Katrina hit New Orleans.  The banks will close.  You’re currency will be worthless.”  At which time he pulled out an Iraqi bill.  It said $50 Billion Dinar; that’s right billion with a ‘B’.  My son told me that if he could find an institution in which to exchange the note, he might have enough money to buy a pack of gum.  With two bills like that, he might be able to purchase an egg or a pint of milk.

I countered, “That’s why we are converting as much of our currency to silver and gold as we can.”

He replied, “So what!  When the banking system shuts down, who’s going to convert your gold and silver?  The only place that you will be able to exchange your hard assets is in one of the FEMA camps that have been set up around the country into which they – the current government- herd the people.  Only those that have entered the FEMA compound – camp – and have had the RFID chip inserted into their arm and/or have been tagged with a retinal I.D., will be able to conduct business in the camp.  Once you enter the camp, you are a slave to the system.  You are tagged and now belong to them.”

To which I stated, “That is why we want to be self-sufficient.  There are about ten million patriots out there; like-minded people who I believe will come together as one and try to re-establish our country.  I believe that the military, once they see what we are doing, will abandon the military machine that is trying to fight us, and join us.”

He then enlightened me, “The personnel in the military do as they are told.  Ninety-eight percent don’t have, and have never had an original thought.  If they are told to kill someone, they will kill that person no questions asked.  They are nothing more than walking zombies doing a job like any other citizen who gets up every morning and goes to work.  The military is just another corporation.”  Then he said, “What are you going to do when…?” And, he just let the questions hang there unfinished.

I said, “When what?”

He again replied, “When the system dies.  Let’s say that you’ve done everything right.  You’ve installed solar and wind, you’ve made your water purification system operational.  You have your vertical gardens producing more food in greater quantities than even you can imagine. You have a surplus.  You have your freezer stocked with enough beef and pork to last at least two years.  You have dry goods to last for three years.  You have four or five  55 gallon drums of purified water.  You have say $25,000 or $50,000 that you have converted to gold and silver – mostly silver – because silver is more easily convertible to the current MPC (Military Police Currency) that will be issued in place of the good old greenbacks – which by the way if you haven’t noticed are no longer green.  Let’s say that you heeded the warning of all those patriotic militiamen out there and bought a few weapons.  You have an: AK-47; SK-47; AR-15; 30-06; your or rather granddad’s .44 magnum  gas operated carbine; your 243 with the thousand yard scope; the .22 caliber long rifle; the 12 and 16 gauge shot guns; and your hand guns: .44 caliber magnum revolver, .22 caliber revolver;  .57 caliber magnum revolver;  9mm Glock and a few others.  You also have your crossbow, sportsman’s  bow, machete, and your hunting knife, carving knife, commando knife, and skinning knife.  And, over the last couple of years you have taken heed and managed to procure about 5,000 rounds of ammo for your weapons, as well as, shafts for your bows.  Let’s say you’ve done all that.”

I answer, “Okay, let’s just say that I’m as ready as a good boy scout.”

“Great” he answers.  “Now, how are you going to protect what is yours?”  “Besides you,” he continues, “Who in the family can shoot?  Who besides you has any military or survival training at all; mom, my brother or sister?  Who?  How many weapons can you shoot at one time?”

He goes on to say, “Look, there are two different scenarios for you and each one ends the same way.  Scenario one:  You have more than enough.  The system crashes.  The stores are looted.  There is no more food or water to be had.  Three days later, you notice that your neighbors are starving.  How long can they go without food?  I know that you fasted for four and a half days before; and, by the fourth day all you could think about was food and chewing.  A person can go just about three days without water before dying.  ‘What the heck’ you say to yourself, I can’t in good conscience let my neighbors starve to death or dehydrate to death.  So, in an act of Christian compassion, you give your neighbor some of your excess produce, fruit and water.  They are very grateful and thank you profusely.  Can you guess what happens then next day?  They come back for more and bring seven of their best friends.  You say, ‘what the heck.”  You have enough for a few more and you can’t watch them die in the street.  By the third day, it’s like a high school party where ten people were invited and the word got out that Eldee was having party and instead of ten people, a hundred people are beating on your door wanting, demanding what you have.  You now must start turning hungry, thirsty people away.  Now, it gets nasty.  Ordinary Christian people, who wouldn’t hurt a fly in their collective lives are now a hungry, thirsty, unruly mob; think lynch mob like in the old westerns on T.V.  And, they will not be denied.  So, you pull out your weapon to protect what is yours and what you planned on for so long for this emergency.  They rush you, a hundred strong. You manage to get off four or five rounds before they overtake you.  Now, you’re on the ground being beaten to death, the mob takes down your wife and kids leaving you on the ground with a broken and beaten body.  Your family is lying on the ground bleeding and /or dying and the mob plunders your food and water supplies and takes all that for which you have prepared so hard and so long.” 

The Amendments

Okay!  Here we go!  Let's limit our government.

The government:  can not, must not, shall not, may not!!!

In the articles of the Constitution, we discovered how our government was supposed to function and who does what.  The Amendments now turn around and limit the powers of our servants.

Amendment I:  (emphasis is mine)

     Congress shall make NO law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
     exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people
     peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

                                                              OR
  Hence, the people can start a religion and pray to whomever they wish, anyway they wish at anytime
    they wish.  So, Christians, Buddhists, Hindu's, Muslims or even atheists may pray or not pray if, when and     where they wish.  So, why then can't a student pray over his/her food at lunch and give thanks?  Freedom     of speech should guarantee them that right.  Where does the Supreme Court get off telling us that
    we (Christians) can't pray.  I see Muslim's in Las Vegas (mostly taxi cab driver's) park their taxi's in the         staging area at the Aria Hotel, get out of their cars, unroll their prayer blanket, face Mecca, get down on       their knees and bow down (kowtow) and say their prayers in public for all to see.  Why aren't they               stopped if Christians aren't allowed to pray over their food (say Grace, Bless and give Thanks), shouldn't
    other religions be stopped from their public display of their beliefs?  The answer of course, is they                 shouldn't be stopped; nor should the Christians be stopped from expressing themselves in public.                   SHAME ON THE ACLU AND THE SUPREME COURT for infringing upon the rights of the
    sovereign citizens of this country to freely express themselves as guaranteed under the 1st Amendment
    of the Constitution.

Feel free to comment on the 1st Amendment.

Until next time I am Eldee Charles Spratt, "The" American Patriot.  I'm running for President of the United States; and, I want your support and vote.  Thank You.

Just in case you think you'll miss Obama, I promise to pull out my pen and write a bunch of executive orders bypassing the Congress and side stepping the Constitutional process. (Just Kidding!!).

Article. III.

Section. 1. The judicial Power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

Section. 2. The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority; — to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls; — to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction; — to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party; — to Controversies between two or more States; — between a State and Citizens of another State [Modified by Amendment XI]; — between Citizens of different States; — between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.

The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

I have several issues with our court system.

First, I believe that if a person passes the bar exam in any state, they are a part of the judiciary; and therefore they are at Bar and hence, should be excluded from serving in  the legislative branch of the government; to serve in the legislative branch would be a conflict of interest. Their (the judiciary's) job is to interpret the law as written and decide on the validity of the law.  When we have lawyers writing the laws, we (the general public) have difficulty understanding the verbiage of that law primarily due to the attorney's use of vocabulary with which the average person is not acquainted.  And, it is the obligation of each and every citizen to know and abide by all of the laws passed by Congress.  I contend that that is a virtual impossibility since congress passes on average 758 bills each year.  Read the article below to show the futility of our law making system. I contend that we can scrap about 50,000 laws and be much better off.  I believe that a Congressman's effectiveness should not be measured by the amount of new legislation he writes (ala Sean Hannity), but rather by the amount of pork he cuts from proposed new legislation, as well as, the number of new legislation that he refuses to pass just because.
 
"With all of the dysfunction in Congress as of late, it should come as no surprise to that out of the 5,140 bills and resolutions before Congress, only 5% will ever be signed into law. But the sheer extent of inaction in today's Congress is worth noting. When the 112th Congress came to a close last year, it was deemed the least productive on record, having passed just 561 out of the 6,845 bills introduced, well below the running average of 758 bills passed each session. The 113th Congress is well on its way to beating that record as only 15 bills have passed in the first six months of session; the 112th had signed 23 in that time.

Theoretically speaking, less legislation should be a good thing. Fewer laws and regulations equal a smaller government, thereby putting more power into the hands of the people. However, while we see fewer bills, the bills are becoming larger and larger, wrapped up in massive omnibus packages that fill binders heavy enough to kill your average Hill intern.

Last year, Senator Rand Paul took the Senate floor to call out Congress for not reading the bills in front of them. He bemoans this practice using a 600-page bill he had received only earlier that morning as an example: “600 pages, no one will read it. No wonder our approval rating is 10%, nobody knows what we’re voting on.” Just think, if our representatives don’t have time to read a 600-page bill before voting, how can they possibly make an informed decision to vote on bills that are over 1,000 pages? If you’ve ever tried making sense out of even 20 pages of congressional language, you know this is an impossible task.

The Affordable Care Act, for example, is a daunting 2,700 pages (not including the 20,000 pages of regulations); a number which made the Supreme Court cry “cruel and unusual punishment.” Then, of course, there is former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s infamous “pass it to find out what is in it” comment. This pass now, read later philosophy has continued into this Congress as well. Senators were given only 72 hours to review the 1,200-page immigration reform bill before voting at the end of June.

Is this the way that we want Congress to be run? Votes on thousand-page bills no one reads? What happens when massive legislative packages come before Congress? Pork. Pet projects, bridges to nowhere, obscure regulations, you name it. The special interests win and Americans lose. They get away with it because there is no accountability if no one can feasibly read these packages in their entirety.

So much for the transparency President Obama promised us time and time again. America deserves better. The American people deserve an accountable, transparent legislative process. Americans deserve a Congress that has the time to read bills before they pass them. Is that too much to ask?"

Next, I believe that the Supreme Court Judges should base their decision(s) on then law and not on how someone else prior to their tenure interpreted the law; and that they should look at the body and spirit of what was written and not just pick out one word like "The" in the third paragraph and make a judgement on what that one little article (sometimes adjective or descriptive adjective) of speech and base an opinion on that one word.  How they interpret a question before them sometimes borders on the criminal.  And, many times they come up with the wrong conclusion.  Sometimes I believe that they are afraid to upset the legislature or what the President wants since he appointed them.  When actually, an eight grader can conclude or decide better than they.

Am I wrong?  Tell me what you think!

Until next time, I am Eldee Charles Spratt, "The" American President, and I want your vote and support in 2016.

Article II, Mr. President, I presume.

Article. II. 

This article is all abut the office of the president:

Section. 1. The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; a quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them by Ballot the Vice President [Modified by Amendment XII].

The duties of the office of the president are spelled out really well.  The election process is, however, a sham and the electoral college is a den of thieves.  I contend that this part of the election process needs to be over hauled.  Google the 12th Amendment and see what a corrupt piece of garbage it truly is.  I know for a fact that Lieutenant Colonel Bo Grits actually won the states of Montana, Wyoming and Idaho in the 1992 election.  He was on the ballot in 36 states.  Yet, his name was never mentioned on any news agency report. What happened to the 'fourth estate'?  What happened to objectivity and the truth in journalism?  Oh wait, I remember now, the liberals overran the industry and objectivity died.  How do I know Bo won those states? I campaigned for him.  Do you remember Ruby Ridge?  Do you remember the tragedy that befell Randy Weaver?  I do.  Do you remember the Vietnam hero brought in to negotiate?  I do. The electoral votes went to George Bush because a non-democrat or a non-republican could not can not be awarded any electoral votes.  And Dick Cheney stood up in public and bravely stated, "I told President Bush that I'd deliver Wyoming's 3 electoral votes and I did."

The electoral college needs to be dissolved and the president should be elected by the popular vote; no more backroom deals.

Notice, in paragraph four, the qualifying parameters for becoming the President of the United States. One must be:  natural born, 35 years of age and must have resided in the country for 14 years.  Hey, I know of a guy who qualifies!  He can even produce a legitimate birth certificate.  Who might  that be you may  be asking yourself?  I am he.  I confess, I qualify under the Constitution to serve you.  So, vote for me!!!

Let me ask you a question.  Has the person who now occupies the White House actually produced a real live legitimate birth certificate when asked?

Okay, so the President is the military man in the country.  So, why, I ask is he rifting our military and sapping our strength and power?  He is the top cop because he is the head of the executive branch of the government.  So, why, I ask is he tying ICE's hands when it comes to finding and deporting illegals?  I have a lot of questions like these.  We can debate them later on when we go through my platform and why I want your vote.

"He shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States."  So, why doesn't he?

Notice, it does not say that he is the king of the country.  He is a servant and only one-third of the head.  So, I ask, why does he persist on doing an end run around the Constitution every time that Congress disagrees with his intended policies?

I say that we confront him and put him back in his place; a mere servant to the people who elected him to be their representative to the rest of the world!

Until next time, I am Eldee Charles Spratt, "The" American Patriot.  And, I'm asking for your vote and support for the Presidency of our great country.
