It’s Official: Southern Poverty Law Center Is Now Part of DHS
As the below document makes clear, Southern Poverty Law Center is Now Officially
Part of DHS.
The CEO of SPLC now sits on the DHS “Working Group on
Countering Violent Extremism” along with the leaders of other So-called Non
Government Organizations (but can we really call them such now that they are
part of the government?) And select “law enforcement” officers such as the
Clark County Nevada Sheriff, Doug Gillespie. What does the working group do?
Make recommendations on training and how to use all of the local resources –
police, social services, media, NGO’s, you name it – to fight “extremism.
So, now no need to file a FOIA request to discover that SPLC is writing the
reports naming constitutionalists as possible terrorists. Now it is in your face
and the mask is off.
When you read the below document, keep in mind the current ordeal of the Irish
family where their newborn baby was taken based on an affidavit that notes the
father’s “association with a militia group known as Oath Keepers.”. Pay
attention to who sits on this panel (see pages 26-30), to who DOESN’T, how
they plan on reaching DHS tentacles down into every level of society, and how
they talk overtly about the need to utilize local SOCIAL WELFARE and MENTAL
HEALTH agencies to counter “violent extremism.”. In other words, what is now
being done to the Irish family will be done all over.
This is the overt politicization of DHS, to use it against political enemies
I will post more on this later today.

Divide and Conquer
[
oathkeepers.org]
We are witnessing an attack on the Republic today using a classic text book
divide and conquer technique used by military strategists for centuries. The
progressives are instilling in the minds of the citizens that the wealthy are
against the poor, as well as pitting minorities against the majority. This
process has been in the works for years and, in my opinion these factions are
hell bent on ensuring a renewed effort in creating class warfare amongst all of
us to ensure their hold on power.
This is an insidious cancer that is no longer covertly eating away at our
liberty but is being pushed overtly by the ruling class elites in Washington
with the help of the mainstream media. Unfortunately, many of the people believe
in and defend this reversal of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. We the
taxpaying citizens are being ignored by our elected officials so they can put
forth their own agenda to shred and ignore the Constitution. This is being
accomplished via their continuous blatant disregard of the bonds on government
as stated in the Bill of Rights, and disregard of our unalienable rights as
prescribed in the Declaration of Independence.
A prime example of this tactic is the labeling of groups of minorities as
African-American, Mexican-American, Native American, and Asian-American. When a
soldier is killed or wounded in action he or she is not listed as a
Mexican-American or an African-American. Quite the contrary, every man and woman
in the Armed Forces are all classified as Americans.
This is where we conservatives must remember, and attempt to educate, our fellow
Americans that a bullet, just as the Constitution, does not distinguish between
ethnicity. It has been the goal of many that we divide our citizenry by their
ethnic back ground and culture. This goes back to the nineteenth century, when
Italians, Irish, Germans, and others had immigrated and established communities
where only people of like origins were welcome.
Granted, there were more factors involved in this segregation, especially when
speaking of African- Americans and Hispanics, but we must move past that part of
our tainted history, and learn from it.
It is now the 21st Century and although we cannot teach our fellow man not to be
bigoted, we as individuals should know what is right in our hearts. If we are
truly constitutionalists, and if we truly hold to the timeless principles of our
Declaration of Independence, then all men are created equal without regard to
race, creed, color, or religion.
Many will argue that when the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution
were written, all men were not considered equal, based on the practice of
slavery. However, since slavery was made illegal by the Thirteenth Amendment,
and that prohibition became the law of the land, all of us by virtue of the rule
of law are finally recognized as being equal.
That leads me to the basis of my beliefs. Although my ancestors were born in
Mexico or the former Mexican territory of Texas, I was born in the United States
of America. My birth certificate states my race is white. Many of you may wonder
how I could be considered white. Remember high school science, where race is
taught, there are only three races: Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid. If you
were to look up race in the dictionary you would find the same answer, only with
more detail on what is considered a person of each of race.
Maybe it was the foresight of my father based on his experience being raised in
Texas during the 1940s and 1950s. We were taught that first, we had to work
harder than anyone else, second, we were not taught to speak Spanish so we
didn’t have an accent, and third that we were Americans. My father frowned on
the terms Chicano, Latino, or Hispanic. The point is, my father taught us to
assimilate into this country without forgetting our culture and heritage. This
is not to say we were to forget our culture, but embrace it, just as Americans
of Irish decent celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day.
Every American has certain practices passed down by their ancestors, to remind
them of the rich heritage and culture from which they came. Sadly, many people
in this country have misplaced the practice of cultural celebrations of their
heritage with the belief that they must be divided by it, and thus, they are not
truly citizens of this great land, but instead are hyphenated Americans.
When asked what nationality I am, my answer is certain and unequivocally
American. Not Mexican –American. During my military career, I had the great
fortune to visit over 20 countries and just as I answered I was an American, so
did my fellow Airmen. I find it troubling that so many here at home consider
themselves hyphenated Americans, not just an American.
I ask you why the difference in answers. Could it be that certain factions in
our political parties want us to feel divided and disenfranchised from the rest
of America? This is not at all different from the attacks on the fortunate that
have helped build this country to be a leading industrial nation. Is it fair to
give the unfortunate the presumption that they are entitled to gain from the
hard work of those that have put their heart and soul in the success of their
business and fortune?
I was recently asked to speak on behalf of the Oath Keepers at a luncheon hosted
by a local conservative organization. As I spoke to the audience, I felt it
necessary to establish that Oath Keepers is not a racist right wing extremist
organization, as labeled by the Southern Poverty Law Center. During the course
of the speech, I asked how the Oath Keepers could be a racist or bigoted group,
when I was not only the Oklahoma Chapter President but also on the National
Board of Directors.
After my speech, as the audience was leaving, I was approached by an elderly
gentleman. This gentleman had zeroed in on my statement about being an American,
not a Mexican-American. He himself was a self described African-American and
wanted to talk to me about my statement. He said he never had thought of
hyphenated Americans and how it divides our people. In his 80 + years he was
taught that he was a Negro-American, Black-American, and now, an
African-American. He taught his children and many others the same. With a tear
in his eye, he shook my hand and said thank you, from this day forward he was an
American, and only an American.
This was enough evidence for me to validate my theory that a planned and
sinister attempt by the progressives, statists, and liberals to divide and
conquer was in motion and had been effective for many years.
It is clear that there are those in this country that want desperately to spread
the wealth of the productive, at the expense of destroying the very foundation
on which this Republic was formed, and to create a socialist type of government.
They wish to enslave the people by creating a dependence on the government for
all of our needs, while at the same time destroying our economy and relegating
our once exceptional accomplishments and achievements to those of a third world
nation.
I cannot accept this approach to changing this country. We that have served the
public, to protect and defend the Constitution, did so in good faith. Many have
sacrificed their lives, liberty, and fortunes to ensure the Republic survived
attacks in the past, and those yet to come.
We are a Nation of one people and must turn back the divisions that have been so
entrenched in our society.
For the Republic,
Robert A. Gomez, MSgt, USAF, (Ret)
Oath Keepers Oklahoma Chapter President
Member of Oath Keepers National Board of Directors

It didn't come down on itself at all, it literally came down into a pile of
soot, how can you guys look at it coming down or seeing it right after it came
down and say it just collapsed, there were no pile of floors stacked up....
workers there even said, they couldn't see shit, no desks, chairs, anything.
Building 7.... reported by the BBC on Live Television that it had collapsed and
it was right there in the background as she said it, she must have been
psychic..... and was does jgroin say when it happens.... it was just a
coincidence (what an informed, intelligent, and downright excellent
rebuttal).
Your government that spends billions per year on security and couldn't stop a
handfull of guys with supposed razors taking over airplanes? Those airplanes
flew for awhile before even getting
back to New York and still were not
intercepted because Cheney just sat there and waited for them to
"hit."
I have little respect for anyone that believes the official story, even the 9/11
commission comes out and says they were bullshitted.
