The US Fish and Wildlife Service public comment period on wolf delisting is closing Oct 28, 2013.

"Delisting the wolf from Endangered Species status will not only cause more and worse slaughter of wolves, but is evidence of the complete unecological 'management' practices of the federal government and their bid to turn these practices over to the states."

Please remember that The US Fish and Wildlife Service public comment period on wolf delisting is closing Oct 28, 2013. Sign as many petitions as you can (http://www.change.org/petitions/don-t-delist-endangered-wolves)
and also consider commenting online at http://www.fws.gov/home/wolfrecovery/
Delisting the wolf from Endangered Species status will not only cause more and worse slaughter of wolves, but is evidence of the complete unecological 'management' practices of the federal government and their bid to turn these practices over to the states. This would be disastrous for the recovery of the wolf in the the US, a tragedy of such import that we cannot imagine the breadth of its significance yet. Imagine a world without wolves. How barren and empty that world would be.
Please sign, please speak out. This must not happen.

Traitors and Criminals obama Enacts Martial Law, Traitors and Criminals in Congress Are Allowing Martial Law: Keeping Citizens and Visitors from Grand Canyon October 08, 2013

"Feds used “gestapo tactics” to treat senior citizens like terrorists during the shutdown of Yellowstone National park, placing them under armed guard in a locked hotel as panicked tourists thought they had been arrested, vowing never to return to America."
http://www.eagletribune.com/local/x1442580353/Gestapo-tactics-meet-senior-citizens-at-Yellowstone
 

Here obama has ordered OUR public servants to hold innocent people at gunpoint!!!!!!!

Obama's orders to barricade and place OUR police, etc as armed guards for his fascist closing of OUR national monuments and national parks: This obama order is NOT a shutdown!
This obama order is MARTIAL LAW!!!

http://dollarvigilante.com/blog/2013/8/5/how-martial-law-in-america-will-affect-you.html
Martial law occurs when the military or militarized law enforcement replaces civilian authorities in order to impose military rule during an emergency. Civil liberties are suspended. In the United States, a pivot point that signals  martial law is the suspension of habeas corpus – the right to a hearing on whether an imprisonment is lawful. In practice, habeas corpus means a person cannot be imprisoned without legitimate charges and due process. The U.S. Constitution recognizes the suspension of habeas corpus as an identifying feature of martial law in Article I, Section 9, “The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.”

We the People Must Kickstart OUR stalled Congress!!! Keep OUR system working, and take out the trash in OUR Congress and OUR White House.

Quotes for Backbone: Otherwise the world sees US in the image of a turtle helpless on its back. Are We the People helpless. Will We the People let criminal deranged psychopaths run US and dictate poverty and enslavement for US and Our Kids? 

 

Or are We the People spirited, ready to accept Our Rights and Responsibilities to run Our government. The whole world is watching Americans to see how we will end this fascism. It's up to US to show the world and ourselves that We the People are the boss in this country, and We the People can remove the treasonous and dangerous public servants.

 

Here are some quotes to help US from the Spirits of '76.

We can draw courage from these people, who knew that we would face this day!

 

 

"When my country, into which I had just set my foot, was set on fire about my ears, it was time to stir. It was time for every man to stir."

 

Thomas Paine, Common Sense

 

"Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer."

The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection.

 

Thomas Paine

These people are either too superstitiously religious, or too cowardly for arms; they either can not or dare not defend ; their property is open to anyone who has the courage to attack them... The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms, like law, discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The balance of power is the scale of peace. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside. And while a single nation refuses to lay them down, it is proper that all should keep them up. Horrid mischief would ensue were one-half the world deprived of the use of them; for while avarice and ambition have a place in the heart of man, the weak will become a prey to the strong. The history of every age and nation establishes these truths, and facts need but little arguments when they prove themselves.

• "Thoughts on Defensive War" in Pennsylvania Magazine (July 1775); signed "A Lover Of Peace" this is generally credited to Paine.

Million Vets Plan to March on the Memorials in D.C. and throughout US, Sunday, October 13, 2013

Get Involved: Million Vet March Slated To Voice Disgust Over Government Closing Of Veteran Memorials

http://personalliberty.com/2013/10/07/get-involved-million-vet-march-slated-to-voice-disgust-over-government-closing-of-veteran-memorials/

October 7, 2013 by Personal Liberty News Desk 

If news of the Federal government’s illogical barricading of military memorials to make a point over the government shutdown made you angry, an event taking place Sunday throughout the Nation will give you a chance to vent your frustrations over the Feds’ actions.
A recently-created Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Million-Vet-March-on-the-Memorials/539097822833735

We are all military brats, current and former military spouses and some veterans.  We cannot express how utterly disappointed we were that our Greatest Generation were being used as political pawns in the ongoing government shutdown and budget crisis.  This should never be the case.
We do not care what political leanings you may be; be it liberal, conservative, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Independent or whatever.  The actions of the U.S. government this week with regard to barricading and shutting down the World War II Memorial to veterans, that may or may not be on their last trip to Washington DC, is a despicable act of cowardice.
Veterans this week were unwillingly pitted as pawns in this crisis.  We feel that this should never be the case.  This is why we will go to Congress after the budget crisis and ask for a bill to be introduced that would prevent any member of the government from closing our memorials down to any American, except for maintenance purposes.  In the meantime, we will have our March in Washington DC on October 13th!  Our veterans deserve that!
Many in our group have decided that enough is enough.  We are Americans.  We are proud of our heritage and our service.  As all of us were military brats and spouses, we have served in some form or another our entire lives.  This is our way of life.  We will not stand by and let the U.S. government dishonor the legacy of sacrifice of the generations before us.  It is time to make a stand!  We hope that you will join us in our peaceful rally against anti-American policies.  It doesn’t take anything other that!

list of rallying points throughout the Nation here. 
petition demanding that the Federal government reopen veteran memorials here. 

The Petition

We, the American people and honored veterans are
outraged by the senseless closure of our national war memorials. We understand that many of these memorials are open 24 hours per day, seven days per week with little or no staffing and were paid for with tax payer funds.


We have a right to visit these sacred places and pay respects to those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country.


We are outraged that our Vets have had to "storm" their own war
memorials - monuments that were already paid for with their blood,
sweat and tears.

Our memorials are supposed to be places of peaceful, solemn reflection. They should not be places that our veterans have to fight to enter.


We demand that the memorials be re-opened, and that Congress introduce legislation forbidding the shutdown of these memorials during any budget disputes.

From Shut-Down to Martial Law in US October 7, 2013. The Criminals in US Government Take Over National Parks to Make Criminals of US and World Citizens

The alleged show-down between government servants in Our Congress and Our White House has shown its true ugly face of martial law. When tourists are shut out of national monuments and national parks, this is not a shut-down. This is martial law.

The Criminals in US Government Take Over National Parks to Make Criminals of US and World Citizens

http://www.examiner.com/article/picture-of-guard-at-lincoln-memorial-called-snapshot-of-obama-s-america

Armed guard obeys criminal orders to keep tourists away from Lincoln Memorial.

The government doesn't plan for the "shut-down" to end. This is a big step straight into fascism. This is the beginning of the chaos so loved by the criminally insane. This is school yard bullying gone nuclear. They have just taken over OUR national parks and monuments!!!! This is martial law, where "they" tell US where we can go.

Armed Guards Ask Their Masters What They Should Do to Elderly WW2 Vets Who Broke Through Barriers to Visit Their Memorial. What's wrong with this photo?

It shows fascism at work and public servants facilitating the fascism.

Brave WWII Vets Knock Over Barriers to Their Own Monument
"The scene was both emotional and comical at once. After it was clear they had lost control of the situation, Park Police officials stood aside, telling press that they had “asked for guidance on how to respond” to the breach of security."
http://www.stripes.com/news/wwii-veterans-storm-dc-memorial-closed-by-government-shutdown-1.244447


The shutdown that began Tuesday has led to furloughs for about 2,200 people who work at the Grand Canyon National Park and its hotels. "And that's not counting the economic impact in the gateway communities, all of the related businesses, the bus tours, hiking companies, the jeep tours, all of those associated functions are suffering economically as well," Uberuaga said.

Solution

It's time to take out the trash in Our government. Hold onto the Constitution, The Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights. We will need to guide our actions, steer our ships on the course of the bright constellation of human rights, noted by the founders and our colonists. WE must fire these treasonous and insane public servants. Legally according to the Constitution, Bloodlessly so no little kids are hurt or tramatized, and Immediately before they finish US off.

Affordable Health Care Applications are 99% Failures October 07, 2013

99% of Obamacare applications hit a wall

As few as 1 in 100 applications on the federal exchange contains enough information to enroll the applicant in a plan, several insurance industry sources told CNBC on Friday. Some of the problems involve how the exchange's software collects and verifies an applicant's data.

Facebook Building Major Artificial Intelligence System To Understand Who We Are

Meaningful artificial intelligence has been the aim of computer science since Alan Turing first imagined, in the 1950s, a computer that “passed” as human. Hollywood movies began shortly thereafter to depict computers with human-like intelligence. But, like so many things, artificial intelligence has been much harder to achieve in reality than in the movies.

"If Obama will close parks to get his way now, just imagine what will happen in a few years if the government gets full control of your health care, then threatens to shut that down if it doesn't get it's way. Didn't we pay for these parks? Aren't they "ours"? Then why are we willing to sit back and be locked out of what belongs to "we the people"?

http://www.prisonplanet.com/civil-disobedience-americans-breach-barricades-around-lincoln-memorial.html

Here's a plan from a commentator:
"Good job Dad!
For too long we have been helpless groveling dependent on the politicians to save us and they do not care about us!
How about having citizen committees that hire and pay unemployed but hardworking honest Americans to do the work of manning, cleaning, guarding, supervising these sites & parks etc,,,, as shutdown persists; the citizen committees can take over other functions as well. As the October 10-14 strike/disturbance/blockade and the October 17 default debt ceiling US declared in default crisis/date comes these citizen committees will take over the functions and institute policies to protect American workers and children from harm.
I suggest that Dad here be general secretary of one of the committees.
If this works; we can simply inform Senate, Federal Reserve, Treasury secretary, Clinton, J. Kerry, President, Vice-President, Congress; that since they have betrayed us and we are better off without them; that they are fired and banned from entering Washington DC, NYC, London, Tripoli, for 5 years.'
the regulatory agencies that hinder businesses, factories, farms without protecting workers will be eliminated; and the money formerly spent upon them will be used to give USA mass-transit system and to balance the budget.
The local town council meetings, scientists, nurses, school teachers, Libraries and their staff, doctors, soldiers , small business owners, farmers , of America will govern America
America will grant all people in all countries the right to fly the flag of their choice, read/own the books of their choice, live lifestyle of their choice so long as they not abuse/degrade/enslave/injure/oppress others as all people in the world lead, govern, and represent ourselves"

At the World War One memorial, the sign reads, “Because of the federal government shutdown, this National Park Service area is closed, except for First Amendment activities.” So if you want to protest there, you’re good. If you want to quietly remember the dead, get off the damned lawn.
An exit question via Legal Insurrection while we wait for updates: How come the Lincoln Memorial isn’t open now if it was open “>during the 1995 shutdown?

If you use Twitter, I recommend following the Standard’s John McCormack, National Review’s Betsy Woodruff, and the Examiner’s Charlie Spiering, who took the photo I used for our front-page thumbnail of the feds actually deploying forklifts to set up gates around a memorial that’s open 24 hours a day with little supervision under normal circumstances."

GOOD QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Update: Visiting the Memorial is a “First Amendment activity”? Doesn’t that mean all parks and memorials are now basically required to open for visits?

From Ace – Shutdown Theater Goes Grand Guignol: Completely Self-Sustaining Tourist Attraction Ordered Shut Down for First Time In History

The National Park Service has ordered the closure of a Virginia park that sits on federal land, even though the government provides no resources for its maintenance or operation.
The Claude Moore Colonial Farm announced on Wednesday that NPS has ordered it to suspend operations until Congress agrees to a deal to fund the federal government.
According to Anna Eberly, managing director of the farm, NPS sent law enforcement agents to the park on Tuesday evening to remove staff and volunteers from the property.
“You do have to wonder about the wisdom of an organization that would use staff they don’t have the money to pay to evict visitors from a park site that operates without costing them any money,” she said.
The park withstood prior government shutdowns, noting in a news release that the farm will be closed to the public for the first time in 40 years.
“In previous budget dramas, the Farm has always been exempted since the NPS provides no staff or resources to operate the Farm,” Eberly explained in an emailed statement.
“In all the years I have worked with the National Park Service … I have never worked with a more arrogant, arbitrary and vindictive group representing the NPS,” Eberly said.
…
She called the decision “utter crap.”
“We have operated the Farm successfully for 32 years after the NPS cut the Farm from its budget in 1980 and are fully staffed and prepared to open today. But there are barricades at the Pavilions and entrance to the Farm,” Eberly explained.

Commentary from The Daily Paradise:

With the younger Americans seemingly afraid to cross the fascist barricades to OUR country's monuments, parks, etc., it's taking frail WWII vets in wheel chairs to make the first assault on the fascism from criminals in OUR government. This editor/writer at The Daily Paradise would like to see these courageous vets move right into Congress and OUR White House, immediately vote on impeaching obama and most of Congress, and restoring a clean vote to our country.

The WWII veterans, from Ohio, Kansas and Missouri, arrived at the memorial one day after another group relied on the assistance from elected officials to move the barricades to allow access. Parks police did not prevent the first group from entering, nor did they interfere with Wednesday's group."

First Group of WW II Vets Refuse to Bow to tyranny from OUR public servants' attempt to limit US in OUR Capital, Washington, D.C.

http://www.prisonplanet.com/wwii-veterans-plan-to-storm-lincoln-memorial-today-closed-due-to-obama-admin-pettiness.html

"The same veterans group that managed to storm the gates at the WWII memorial yesterday is planning taking on the fences at the Lincoln Memorial today. This sounds like a capitol idea, pun intended.
Both memorials are open air memorials. The Lincoln Memorial is open 24 hours a day, normally. If you’ll recall, it was wide open to having someone throw green paint on it in the evening a few months ago.
So that means the Obama administration is making a conscious effort to spend more in time and money to shut off something which is normally open.
How ridiculous is this effort by President Obama to make the people “hurt” so he can blame it on Republicans, just as he did with the sequester, which was also his idea?"

From the Comments:
The next photo of the Flickr stream shows a barrier at a Yellowstone Park access road with a sign showing no visitor access. Would you be arrested and imprisoned if you were actually ignored this signage and was found in Yellowstone National Park? It really isn't your own country is it?
This would be unthinkable in Scotland, if the Scottish Government banned to right of free roaming access to a Scottish National Park such as the Cairngorms, even if they had anything such as a Park Ranger in their employment.

Executive Privilege Can't Cover Obama's Gun-Running to Provide Guns to Mexican Criminals, Judge Jackson Denys to Dismiss Lawsuit, Tuesday, October 01, 2013

Of the many shameful and criminal activities of the Obama occupation of Our White House is his cover-up of Fast and Furious, where he provided guns to Mexico, guns used to kill innocent people.

What is Fast and Furious?

"A federal operation dubbed Fast and Furious allowed weapons from the U.S. to pass into the hands of suspected gun smugglers so the arms could be traced to the higher echelons of Mexican drug cartels. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which ran the operation, has lost track of hundreds of firearms, many of which have been linked to crimes, including the fatal shooting of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in December 2010."
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/atf-fast-furious-sg,0,3828090.storygallery

"ATF special agent John Dodson blew the whistle on his agency's gunwalking in an interview with CBS News in 2011. The government first denied any guns had been allowed to "walk" into criminal hands. Later, the Justice Department acknowledged using the strategy, claiming it was intended to see where the weapons ended up in hopes of capturing a major cartel leader. But the agency ordered an immediate halt to the practice calling it highly improper."
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57598487/more-fast-and-furious-guns-surface-at-crimes-in-mexico/

What Part Do Obama and His Attorney General Holder Play in Fast and Furious?
Obama initiated the present incarnation of Fast and Furious, though he blamed Bush.
Here is an article from Sept. 21, 2012:
"Asked about the Fast and Furious program at the Univision forum on Thursday, President Obama falsely claimed that the program began under President George W. Bush.
“I think it’s important for us to understand that the Fast and Furious program was a field-initiated program begun under the previous administration,” the president said. “When Eric Holder found out about it, he discontinued it. We assigned a inspector general to do a thorough report that was just issued, confirming that in fact Eric Holder did not know about this, that he took prompt action and the people who did initiate this were held accountable.”
In actuality, the Fast and Furious program was started in October 2009, nine months into the Obama presidency.
Previous programs involving ATF agents allowing guns to “walk” across the border so as to trace them were run during the Bush presidency, but not this particular “field-initiated program.”

June 20, 2012 Obama Claims Executive Privilege to Block Document Requests
"President Barack Obama has asserted executive privilege in response to requests made by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, who has embarked on a controversial investigation into the Department of Justice's Operation Fast and Furious gun-running program."
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/20/obama-executive-privilege-fast-and-furious_n_1611962.html


Judge Rules for House Oversight in Fast and Furious Suit:

The link above provides a discussion and explanation of the Judge Jackson's ruling.
"neither the Constitution nor prudential considerations require judges to stand on the sidelines,"
[the Constitution "contemplates not only a separation, but a balance, of powers."
"In the Court's view, endorsing the proposition that the executive may assert an unreviewable right to withhold materials from the legislature would offend the Constitution more than undertaking to resolve the specific dispute that has been presented here,"

Jackson's ruling also rejects a Justice Department argument that the court should dismiss the case to remain neutral while the other two branches find their own resolution. Dismissing the case without hearing it "would in effect place the court’s finger on the scale, designating the executive as the victor based solely on his untested assertion that the privilege applies,"
Jackson also noted that the judiciary's role in the dispute had limitations at this point, and declined to try to assign blame for the impasse on the subpoena.
"Getting into the question of who bears responsibility for the impasse here—who negotiated properly or fairly, whether the appropriate amount of time was spent, whether any accommodation offered was 'substantial' or merely superficial, and the relative merits of the grounds for the withholding and the stated need for the material—would put the Court squarely in the position of second guessing political decisions and take it well outside of its comfortable role of resolving legal questions that are amenable to judicial determination," Jackson wrote...

“It's not the Affordable Care Act that is the problem. "posted a WPO commenter

"It is the disconnect between Internal Revenue Code Section 36B, as added by Section 1401 and § 1321(c) of the ACA."

"More specifically, under the ACA Congress does not authorize the IRS to allow a "Premium Tax Credit" to residents in the 33 states that operate exchanges set up by HHS. "

"The State of Oklahoma, through Pruitt v. Sebelius, is not seeking to overturn any part of Obamacare as some would have you believe, rather it is asking the courts to direct the government to enforce this part of the law. Obama just lost his motion to dismiss."
"Game over for Obamacare, folks.”
