note – 11/11/2016 – In this election, I’ve been branded an uneducated, ignorant, deplorable, KKK lover, xenophobic, misogynist, bigot because of my vote.  In 2008 and 2012, I was branded as well.  This is to state, on Veterans Day, some of my beliefs as an American.

I took an oath –

“I, My name, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”

I have never rescinded that oath.  Here is what my country has thought of me.

note – 3/12/2012 I wrote essay this April 2009. Today, there are youtube videos being shared that the CIA is watching us on Facebook. Even a news mimicking satire is scaring people!

There are anti Christian, anti Biblical things going on all around us, and Bible believers are the bad guys…and I don’t mean the whack jobs that kill abortion doctors or protest at veterans funerals!
Here’s my original post – and I did send it to Washington, DC. when Obama asked for us to turn in our neighbors.

This is in the Washington Times news – April 16th, 2009. You tell me if I’m over reacting.

Original, written in 2009.

My country now considers me a terrorist.

I am commenting on the Department of Homeland Security report on “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment.” Dated 7 April 2009 note:”(U) Prepared by the Extremism and Radicalization Branch, Homeland Environment Threat Analysis Division. Coordinated with the FBI.”

The report starts with this clear statement:
“The DHS/Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) has no specific information that domestic rightwing* terrorists are currently planning acts of violence,
but rightwing extremists may be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about several emergent issues.” pg 2/9

The report also clearly defines Right-wing extremism:
“*Right-wing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.” pg 2/9

I don’t hate, but believe that other religions are not inline with what I believe to be truth.

• I am antigovernment, in the manner of rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority.
• I am against abortion as a flippant convenience, or birth control option.
• I am against illegal immigrants getting monies without paying taxes, and benefits that should be given to the families that are legal, and do pay taxes.
• I agree “with the “belief in the prophecies of a …one world government” pg 3/9 based on Revelation and end-time prophecies in the Bible.
• Our family has purchased a gun since the election of Barak Obama pg 3/9
• I “perceive” and “discuss on the internet the economy, the perceived loss of U.S. jobs in the manufacturing and construction sectors, and home foreclosures.” pg 3/9
  Doesn’t everyone?

While I would not say I am antagonistic toward the new presidential administration, I am antagonistic toward its PUBLISHED “stance on a range of issues, including immigration and citizenship, the expansion of social programs to minorities, and restrictions on firearms, ownership and use.” pgs 3&4/9

“Antigovernment conspiracy theories and “end times” prophecies could motivate extremist individuals and groups to stockpile food, ammunition, and weapons.” pg 4/9

I believe that it is prudent to have resources to provide for your family in the event of a crisis,
and I believe that an economic collapse, or an end-time apocalypse, or even an unbelievable hurricane would be a crisis.

I held these views in 1990, 1980, & 1970…
“Prominent among these themes were the militia movement”s opposition to gun control efforts, criticism of free trade agreements (particularly those with Mexico), and highlighting perceived government infringement on civil liberties as well as white supremacists” longstanding exploitation of social issues such as abortion, inter-racial crimes, and same-sex marriage.” 4/9

…and hold the same ones today….and will until the day I die. I have never been part of any more of a militia than the United States Navy.

“The dissolution of Communist countries in Eastern Europe and the end of the Soviet Union in the 1990s led some rightwing extremists to believe that a “New World Order” would bring about a world government that would usurp the sovereignty of the United States and its Constitution, thus infringing upon their liberty.” pg 6/9

I do believe that the United States is giving over its sovereignty to various organizations such as the UN, NAFTA, NATO and others rather than protecting the rights and liberty of Americans.

“Rightwing extremist views bemoan the decline of U.S. stature and have recently focused on themes such as the loss of U.S. manufacturing capability to China and India, Russia”s control of energy resources and use of these to pressure other countries, and China”s investment in U.S. real estate and corporations as a part of subversion strategy.” pg 7/9
While maybe not a subversion strategy, I believe we are weakening the US with these practices. I believe that is why we are in the crisis we are in today. We haven”t taken care of our own house first – then gone outside.

I am appalled that our government would consider the men and women that return from fighting battles, giving various degrees of sacrifices as potential terrorist threats. This is explained under the heading Disgruntled Military Veterans, pg 7/9. H

• Have YOU tried to get medical service at the VA????
• Have YOU experienced the VA and the Military mysteriously losing YOUR medical records?
• Are YOU suffering from something that should have been taken care of before you were discharged, but you were just a kid and didn”t know any better?
• Have YOU been homeless because of PTSD from a war that the military is refusing to acknowledge????

Just ask me about Disgruntled Military Vets. I’m one of them. And I’m not alone.

Then, page 8/9 blames the internet as providing the “information related to bomb-making, weapons training, and tactics, as well as targeting of individuals, organizations, and facilities, potentially making extremist individuals and groups more dangerous and the consequences of their violence more severe.”
The internet has made it easier for child porn, child abductions and stalkings, but I don”t see it blamed for that!

I’ve read all 9 pages of this Department of Homeland Security report on “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment.” 7 April 2009 (U) Prepared by the Extremism and Radicalization Branch, Homeland Environment Threat Analysis Division, Coordinated with the FBI.

NO WHERE Does it Talk about the REAL TERRORIST THREATS, those that have repeatedly been committed against our people.

• I don’t care if our president is black, white, green or purple.
• I don.t care if our president is male or female.
• I do not want race to be a card played – though it has been played so often since the preliminaries I am ashamed that we have not come farther, on either side.
• The only thing I care about is our Constitutional Rights – and how we are losing them day by day – and now, I could be watched as a potential terrorist threat!

Ok, let me use my 1st amendment right while I still have it.

• I believe the Bible from the very first verse….
• And all the way to the very last verse.
• I believe that we are all one blood, we all have pains inflicted upon us, and some have familial pains and generational pains – no matter what color our skin is, or how rich or poor we are, or whether we are legal or illegal in this country. We all need healing, forgiveness, and to let go of bitterness and open up a dialogue for trust.
• I believe that when God is finished with His plan with this earth – there will be an Armageddon and many will die.
• I believe that it will center on the middle eastern lands, with a horrific nature we have never seen.
• I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and that HE is the only way to heaven.
• I believe that life begins at conception, and responsibility begins before consummation.
• I believe that everyone will face a day of judgment, and on that day, they will face the Creator God as supreme judge, and defend themselves or have Christ defend them.
• There is only ONE judge – God the Father.
• There is only one choice for a defender, and there is only one fee to be paid – your life.
• There are only two rulings on that day – Heaven, or Hell.

2nd Amendment –

• I have a gun in my home, and ammo. I know how to use it.
• And if the colonists did not bear their own arms, they would not have been able to pull together a militia to fight an oppressive government. That was called the Revolutionary War…..when we became the Americas!

4th Amendment should give me the freedom to do whatever I want in my home….secure in my person, house, papers and effects. So – most of my papers are online now….and they should not be searched or seized without probably cause and a warrant.

10th Amendment: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” The US Government has many fingers in the state government”s oversight. This is unconstitutional. Oh, that may include federal taxes as well, but that is taken care of by giving up our rights and ratifying the 16th amendment.

13th Amendment – everyone likes this one – the abolishment of slavery. But if the government can tell you what you can think, what you can say, and what you can do…..and enforce discipline upon you, or martial law….doesn’t that sound like slavery?

And for some great quotes for our times, and not from the Bible for those that would be offended, I have chosen these from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

1. An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
2. He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
3. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
4. Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
5. One who breaks an unjust law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
6. Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
7. The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
8. We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

And my favorites for such a time as this:
9. The question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be… The nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
10. When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

I AM AN EXTREMIST!

If you want the version with Bible References added – give me a day or two, and I’ll have the verses in place….there are so many to choose from! Of course, I don’t want to be recruiting anyone to my terrorist cell of those who might happen to think like me.

Thanks for joining me in this journey,
In His hands and under His wings,
~Christi
Ps 63:7 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.

I want to thank

“The Lord does not give me rules, but He makes His standard very clear.
If my relationship to Him is that of love, I will do what He says without hesitation.
If I hesitate, it is because I love someone I have placed in competition with Him, namely, myself.” – from My Utmost for His highest
