Enemies within the Patriot Movement

Opinion – Editorial

JB Williams * May 16, 2010 * email submission entitled: “This column may not get published”

Friends,

Our nation has arrived at a moment when there is no more room for politically correct appeasement or pandering within the patriot effort to reclaim control of our runaway government.

Freedom Force now has ops on the ground in all 50 states. As a result, we are confronting threats inside the patriot movement every day in parts all over the country and I have no choice but to tell American patriots what they need to know about those threats, or sit back and watch the effort to reclaim American go up in smoke as threat factions within the movement advance an agenda at odds with most patriotic citizens desperate for solutions.

But today’s column might never get published. Most patriotic publishers are afraid to take a stand. They cannot afford to lose advertisers, make any of the BIG Tea Party factions angry, or be seen as “attacking Sarah Palin or the Tea Party.”

They are in a popularity contest for their publications. I am not in any popularity contest. I’m not running for office, so I don’t need anyone’s vote or money. I don’t make my living from writing columns or publishing Tea Party propaganda. I have many real friends who are real patriots. Our nation needs millions on the right track. But I have all the personal friends I need….

So, today’s column was a MUST write and release, even though the column may never be published…. I hope that it is published, but I know that many of the publishers will reject the column. Still, at least those on my regular reader list will have the truth they need to set themselves free….

Here’s the column… send it far and wide. It might be the only way patriots get to see it….

Enemies within the Patriot Movement

By JB Williams

Barack Obama, the leftists in DC and around the globe, and even the leftist media are NO threat to the rising pro-American patriot movement. In fact, the more these global socialist thugs attack average American patriots, the more they fuel the fire of the patriot movement.

However, the movement is in trouble from internal enemies that threaten to destroy the entire pro-American movement from within.

Every second of every minute of every hour of every day, DC elitists are stripping the people of their rights and freedoms on every front possible. Millions of average American citizens are awake, up off the couch and searching for solutions to the current full scale assault on everything they hold dear.

But they are not yet moving in a direction and manner necessary to save their nation…

Varied Political Agendas

On the far left is a number of totalitarian political ideologies, communism, socialism, modern liberalism, fascism and progressivism, all of them sold as “democracy” today – Majority rule, by iron fist with no limitations upon their right to run roughshod over any minority.

We here this from Obots all day every day… “shut up and sit down, we won the election and you lost, so we are running things now and it doesn’t matter whether you like it or not…”

On the far right is the libertarian anarchist ideology which claims to desire maximum freedom and liberty, to a degree that there is no civilized form of government at all, nobody to tell us what to do or how to live.

These are the folks that want the Federal Reserve shut down, all politicians fired, most laws wiped off the books, the so-called “fiat currency” (dollar) done away with, and an every-man-for-himself society based solely upon survival of the fittest.

Last, there are those Americans who understand that our Constitution did NOT form a democracy, a theocracy, a form of socialism or communism, fascism or anarchy, but rather a “representative republic” in which ALL powers are derived from the consent of the governed, limited by specific Constitutional authorities and the inability to make laws in favor of one group that infringes upon another.

All citizens and states are guaranteed a “republican” form of government.

Three Enemies Within

Obama & Co. can only fuel the patriot movement, they cannot destroy it. The only way they can even slow the patriot movement down is to slow down their own march towards socialism, which would give patriots a false sense of having won something.

But three specific groups inside the patriot movement can destroy the movement, and they are doing just that.

The RNC Front Org Faction

I don’t need to name them – most true patriots already know who they are and so do the orgs. They are the BIG “national” Tea Party groups that were established by and are run by long-time RNC power-brokers.

The agenda of these orgs is different from the agenda of the average Tea Party, 912 or patriot activist. The goal of these orgs is to harness the power and money that has stopped flowing into the RNC over the last few elections cycles, and put it back behind candidates of their choosing.

By doing this, they are not empowering the people, the donors – they are becoming the power-brokers for all the money raised via their patriotic looking events.

In addition to paying themselves six-figure salaries and hobnobbing at lavish dinner parties , this money often ends up in campaigns that patriotic donors do not support, such as John McCain in Arizona and Carly Fiorina in California.

In fact, one of the major national Tea Party groups recently stepped out against the Tea Party candidate in Idaho Vaughn Ward and endorsed the incumbent Democrat Rep. Walt Minnick, who is running against the local Tea Party groups and who had voted for Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House, largely walking the party line while in office.

While these RNC front orgs cannot hijack the hearts, minds or votes of millions of American patriots, they can and have largely hijacked the movement’s public identity and more importantly, much of the cash in the movement as well.

The moral to the story? – Give your money directly to the candidates of your individual choosing, NOT to PACs that will choose for you.

The Profiteer Faction

American capitalists are nothing if not enterprising. But profiteering on the backs of American patriots who in many cases, are cutting back on groceries just to donate money to saving their nation, is dead wrong. In fact, it is a deplorable act of profiteering, not patriotism.

Back in January, when an alleged “non-profit” Tea Party Convention turned out to be a private “for-profit” venture of Nashville Lawyer Judson Phillips, the law suits started flying, as did rumors of unpaid bills, defaulted loans, hidden profit agendas and the exploitation of patriots.

After almost every contributing organization pulled out of the convention only days before the convention was to kick off, including two loved conservative legislators originally scheduled to speak, Fox News Channel and the RNC stepped in behind Tea Party darling Sarah Palin to prop up the convention before the entire event blew sky high, leaving 600 Tea Party Nation ticket holders out in the cold.

Anxious to catch the national implosion of the movement on tape, the national and international press showed up in force, reducing the real movement of millions across the nation to a measly 600 Tea Party Nation partiers, as if 600 TPN members somehow represented millions across the country who had openly rejected the TPN convention in Nashville.

Six months later, with a newly formed PAC in place, Phillips and partner Mark Skoda from Memphis aim to ring the cash register again, this time in Las Vegas Nevada. Once again, huge sums are being committed to “talent” capable of selling tickets, all of it coming from folks who can hardly afford to donate and going to pay “talent” that must be paid big time speaking fees to get them to rub elbows with the little folks.

But this is not the only profiteering effort underway within the movement. Celebrities with household names and folks with no name awareness at all, are hawking everything from books to tea shirts, coffee mugs and hats, all in the name of patriotism.

I think the old term for these folks was “sunshine patriots.” Patriotic when profitable…

But when you search for tangible strategies complete with tangible results after all that money is raised and spent, you can find only a few examples of success in defeating RINO incumbents, but no sign of an ability to replace them with conservative leaders ready to take on Obammunism.

The My Way or the Highway Faction

This is the most dangerous enemy within the Tea Party movement. These folks are not “constitutional conservatives.” In most cases, they are hardcore libertarian types, Paulestinians (Ron Paul fanatics) and your general run of the mill anti-establishment “nobody’s good enough for us” folks.

If you can imagine the look on Osama Bin Laden’s face, as he opened up a Letter of Marquee from the USA a few days after his decapitation strike on the U.S., aimed at taking out the American financial center, military command and federal government all in one day on September 11, 2001 – or imagine a nation without a common currency (dollar) – or a national security strategy limited to only a small Navy adequate for 1776, then you will love these folks…

For the record, libertarians and conservatives have absolutely nothing in common. So why are both trying to control the GOP?

The alleged common thread between them is a proclaimed desire for increased individual liberty and fiscal responsibility. However, unlike conservatives, libertarians make no connection between a society run wild, and the very expensive government subsidies needed to remedy all of the natural social ills that always follow in a society run wild.

Like conservatives, libertarians claim to want smaller government, lower taxes and fiscal sanity. It sounds good on the surface. But unlike conservatives, libertarians are happy to let social ills run wild, so long as nobody sends them the tab for the natural consequences of a society without moral limits.

True constitutional conservatives understand what John Adams meant when he said – “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Libertarians make no such connection…

The Unsavory Outcome

The net outcome of all of this can only be described as “a house divided.”

As Tea Party candidate in Ohio Coach Dave Daubenmire writes in his May 6, News with Views column…

“I lost my race for Congress last night. It played out pretty much the way I envisioned it would. I had warned the Tea Party movement that they better pick a horse in the primary or they would wind up with a choice between two Bob Dole clones in November.

That is exactly what they got. Here are the results. The virtual tie between the top two “conservative” Republicans will require a recount, but it won’t matter. There isn’t a nickel’s difference between them.”

Candidate                       % of Votes        Number of Votes

Gibbs, Bob (R)                 20.97%                     10,953
Dailey, Fred (R)               20.66%                    10,789
Moll, Jeannette (R)         19.00%                      9,922
Hood, Ron (R)                  15.59%                       8,140
Daubenmire, Dave (R)    11.91%                       6,221
Liggett, Hombre (R)         7.69%                       4,017
Royer, Michael (R)           2.48%                        1,295
Bromberg, Beau (R)          1.69%                          884

The Ohio Tea Party folks did not put forth one great candidate, they put forth five different Tea Party candidates, because the independent minded “we don’t need no leadership or organized strategy” Tea Party rebels could not agree on a single candidate to run and support.

As a result, all five Tea Party candidates lost, leaving a RINO in office with less than 21% net support from constituents in that district. All five Tea Party candidates split 58.36% of the vote, leaving one of two RINOs in office with only 21% of the vote. (Hence, the reason I have always opposed multi-party initiatives that leave the largest MINORITY group in power.)

Moral to the story? – A house divided cannot stand…. Or even win a single election!

What MUST Happen to Take our Nation Back

United, focused on real and tangible well organized strategies, millions of American patriots can and must take their nation back before they run out of time to do so.

But divided, distracted, disorganized and disoriented, they cannot!

As I have been writing for years now, ONLY the American patriots can take this nation back. NO political messiah, no talk-show host, no book author, no PAC, no other individual or organization can do it.

The individual patriots must do it… together with other real patriots, working in well planned, well organized, well funded and very determined tangible actions.

Profiteers, RNC power-brokers and “we don’t need no leaders” anarchists must be bypassed and individual patriots must take up the battle themselves. They must do it through real and tangible peaceful and constitutional processes before they have no good options left.

No Apologies

There is much work to do and there are no shortcuts. The process of reclaiming control of our country will not be easy. It will be painful… but not nearly as painful as losing our country, or even waiting until no peaceful options remain.

Many in the movement who read this column will be insulted, hurt or flat out angry that I have called them all out into the daylight. But most patriots already see what is going on within the movement and just hope it isn’t so…

Well, it is so… and now we have one more challenge to deal with in our effort to reclaim control of the greatest nation ever known to mankind. We have to leave the profiteers, power-brokers and parasites in the dust and get on with the hard work that there is no way to avoid.

We can’t pay anyone to do it for us… It will be a painful process that tests the will of every American involved.

But we either unify on the ground to save our Constitutional Republic, or kiss the American way of life goodbye. I will make NO apologies for telling it like it is.

It won’t be easy… but it is better than the alternative.

I Cannot Close without a Solution

In October 2009, I wrote and released Time for the Tea Party to become Tangible.

I was swamped with reader mail asking me to form something that would give patriots real and tangible ways to directly engage in the process of reclaiming their nation, in an organized and peaceful way. Most of them pointed out to me, that it could never happen within the existing Tea Party structures of division and party focus instead of unified strategy focus.

I quickly researched and found them to be right. On that basis, along with a small group of patriots, we quickly formed www.FreedomForce.us with the following starting strategy.

We immediately formed and partnered with www.NationalPrecinctAlliance.org as the only nationally organized precinct effort with a detailed plan for not only how to gain control of political precincts, but what to do after you regain control at the local level, in concert with precincts across each state and across the nation.

NPA has since successfully retaken control of precincts all over the country, though there is much more work to be done.

We partnered with OurCaucus as our official national candidate vetting operation, so that patriots could know more about candidates than campaign talking points.

We partnered with TheVoicesOfAmerica as our official local campaign strategy and training operation, so that people who had never engaged in on the ground campaign efforts to quickly learn the most effective tools for getting their candidates elected.

We established several internal committees that draft model legislation and work with state legislators in all fifty states to secure States Rights, Second Amendment rights, Tenth Amendment rights and challenge unconstitutional policies coming out of Washington DC.

Thousands of great patriots have empowered themselves through the network of tangible initiatives we have set up for that sole purpose — and we are just getting started.

It doesn’t take millions of dollars to take your nation back. But it will take millions of patriotic Americans willing to engage in the right strategies and work together to reclaim and rebuild the greatest free nation on earth.

I hope that you will join us in that effort. Other legitimate organizations that are also specializing in real and tangible initiatives are welcome to contact me at www.FreedomForce.us and if you have a specific initiative that complements our strategy for empowering people, we are not looking to reinvent the wheel. We are looking to work together to help patriots empower themselves.

Join us!

“I have come to believe that the one flaw in our framers design is our freedom to destroy ourselves. It may have been a mistake to ask average people (who don’t have the time, the energy, the inclination, the selflessness, the moral foundation or the good sense to run their own lives), to run the greatest nation on earth.” – JB circa 1992
